Hello folks and hey Barry, welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Bergetti, Brian Bates here and we're at Dusty Slick. Alright. Everybody's back. Everybody's back. Back at it. We went to Disney last week and it rained on us so we ended up having to, we stayed until I was able to get back. Can you still do stuff at Disney when it's raining? It wasn't fun. It's like you get wet after

hours. It's not like it's just the down porch. It does not let up. You just drive the haunted mansion a lot. That's indoors. Or the Epcot. That's indoors. Yeah. Or the Epcot. What's the Epcot?

I thought Epcot was the name of the place. I think it's the big... You made my voice. The golf ball. Yeah, the big golf ball. We're a minute and a half in. Yeah. No, I'm just saying, man, she's been kind of beat up on the road i'm home this week so that's what it is but yeah it was uh we had a good time and uh

my niece and nephew came and they have not been and so it was just fun it was like uh you know disney is is uh super fun my nephew wants to ride everything and you know you do realize like because we didn't go to universal he's been to universal he's just never been to disney or the other stuff there's just not a ton of like for you know someone that's into riding all crazy roller coasters at disney i mean not crazy space mountain okay this is magic kingdom yeah you like roller coasters that's what you're saying you're really into that i don't i don't know if i i wrote them because he wants to ride oh okay but it's i do i used to yeah i do i don't buy roller coasters but um i don't let go but if i don't ride them, I'm fine not riding them. You know? Yeah. I always felt like Disney was not the real ride place.

Yeah. Six Flags was the ride place. Yeah. Yeah. A little bit of danger. Yeah. Yeah. They did.

Well, they did Epcot. They did Animal Kingdom. They have the Everest roller coaster. I mean, they have, there's roller coasters in different things in the park, but it's,

it's still like the most fun. But I mean, yeah, you need to kind of... Once a kid gets a little bit older, you kind of need them to... Disney is, I think, fun for younger. And then it's just probably that... How old is your nephew? Nine.

That's probably a perfect age, right? No, it is. He loves it, but he also wants to ride every scary. He wants everything to be scary. He's trying to ride, and he's not that into Donald Duck these days. Yeah. Well, even Space Mountain's scary because it's inside. They have Tron.

They have a new ride tron like it's i mean we we hit it all up uh but it was uh tron the tron ride is unreal and that one is wild oh it looks like you're sitting on a peloton yeah yeah yeah that that ride is very crazy uh yeah it's like said like six flags yeah so you need to like that's where it's like eight roller coasters that are just just a drop yeah yeah the mind bender the georgia cyclone georgia scream machine those are the big ones when i was when i was going the viper you remember you remember any of those i don't know if you guys went to... I remember the Scream Machine. I didn't go. I was a coward. I showed up

and was too afraid to go on anything. But I watched my siblings do it. The Viper was the one you just you're sitting still and then it just takes off like just out of nowhere and then you do a loop, go up, come back down, do another loop real fast. Pretty wild though.

Strikes twice. That's what I call it, the ones that shoot you out are always like, because it's the, that stuff gets like, once you get going, it's very fun. That first little climb, though, it really builds it up. Oh, yeah. And you just know, I couldn't stop now if I wanted to. I'm stuck on this. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I always say, you can't get out nothing you can do and then you're like i don't want to get out i want to get out the whole time no i mean i want to get out the whole time but you're

also like you want your thing to you pull it down and you're just well that's true you don't want to fall out yeah what about uh you used to work at the one here, right? What was that? Opryland? Yeah. I remember coming here. I rode the Hangman. Yeah.

That was a pretty wild one. One of the last ones they added before they closed. Yeah. Yeah. Hangman. Yeah. Would y'all call it a Hangman? Hangman, yeah.

I think that's a Hangman's nose. I think that's what you call it. A Hangman? A Hangman, yeah. Sounds like the last name. Hangman. This is the one where your feet are dangling off. Yeah.

Yeah, it was great. That was like one of the last ones that they put in. That was kind of crazy. Yeah, it was wild. Yeah. And you call that hangman. It's one word, I think. The hangman.

Hangman. So if you that hangman. Hangman. The hangman. That's one word, I think. The hangman. Hangman. So if you play hangman. I don't know if you, I feel like that you do say hangman. Because that's a, you know, that's what that game's called. Hangman. Because you're really trying to hang a man in that game. Yeah. This is.

It's like here. Well, you're not trying to hang anyone, though. You just, you know, you're riding. Yeah. Why does that change how you say the word? Well, I think it's descriptive of what's like here. Well, you're not trying to hang anyone, though. You're just riding. Why does that change how you say the word? Well, I think it's descriptive of what's going on. Okay. Then you put a little T at the end. That's how I like to do it.

Hangment. He got called out for that last week. And I still don't get it. I still don't hear it. People keep saying I say a T after good, but I'm like, I say that's called a D at the end. Good. I just pronounce all the letters. Well, you hit it right just now, but five seconds ago, I heard a T.

Even that time was just a little. Yeah, but that's like, that's the D at the end. Good. But the D is the duh, duh, duh. How do you guys say it? Good. I say it, yeah, like it it's spelled say it again good oh you go good every time every time yeah we're having a good the time yeah that's how i say it italicizing good time yeah yeah the that's like nateland send those people there are they say nateland and i'm like well it's not i always Nateland. And I'm like, well, it's not.

I always think Nateland. Yeah. But they'll say, well, it's not Cleveland. It's Cleveland. Oh. Oh, okay. I mean, I think it's Nateland. But that's the point that makes some places are pronounced.

We do that in the South, though, with Ville. Louisville. Kurtville. Louisville. Yeah. Well, Louisville is its own thing. But I'm looking at it as like two words. Nateland.

Yeah, but it's one word, right? Yeah, but that's what he's saying with that. But Nateland is weird. Nateland is weird. Hangman, I feel like that has a flow to it. But I'm watching the Nateland podcast. It doesn't feel right. That doesn't feel right.

But I mean, the hangman sounds like a family. The hangman family. Yeah. And maybe that's what we thought it was. Just a family. We didn't realize it was so violent. Yeah. It was a family ride.

I'm just riding with the hangman. Yeah. You go, oh. Yeah. Yeah, I think we got a picture. Me and my mom wrote it. That was great. I loved Opryland. Yeah. I think we got a picture. Me and my mom wrote it. That was great. I loved Opryland.

Yeah. I went to Opry Mills yesterday. I have vertigo kind of now. And I got on the carousel with my daughter and I was like, whoa. So I don't think I can do any rides now. Yeah. The carousel was wild to me. You just got vertigo like kind of?

Well, I had it. Like it hit me real bad one time it's like where you can't stand yeah but now i feel like sometimes i just get like a little dizzy oh what is it like is that what it feels jason day the golfer uh had it where he had to stop playing he couldn't even walk yeah it's wild i mean there's a move that you can do, a maneuver. So, and that works. What is it? Yeah, what is it? Well, you need a person really, but you sit on the bed.

We got one. You sit. Well, you know, I'm not dizzy right now, but you sit on the bed like, and then you kind of go backwards with their head leaning off the back and then turn it. And then turn it, but tilt it down a little bit for about 30 seconds. And then you roll your whole body over that way and stay like that. And that's supposed to balance you out. Is it like all your blood gets back to the... Well, they say there's these crystals in your ear.

That's what people say and that they need to get balanced back out. That's what my chiropractor said. And then somebody, I was telling you guys about it on the podcast. And then some guy emailed saying, oh, you got to go see a real doctor. And then he was telling me what it was. And I was like, well, that's exactly what my chiropractor just said. So maybe don't be so aggressive towards the guy. And so does it solve it for good or just solves it in the moment that it's happening?

Yeah, I don't, I don't know why starts, and I don't think anybody really knows. So I don't know that you can solve it for good. Did you bang your head, like, trying to get all the crystals all evened out? Well, I don't know. I mean, they say there's just, you know, like, we all have crystals in our ears. Do you have a lot of copper in the ground? Because that could cause it. Is that right?

He bays copper in his yard. that could cause it is that right um he bays copper in his yard for i forgot why is it well it's you know to collect energy from the air oh yeah for the plants yeah right right that's why i had such a great garden this year all right electro what do they call electro culture okay that's cool i don't think that's what caused the vertigo or else all my family would have it. And then we would be like, all right, we got to do something about what's going on around here. The first time I experienced it was in Salt Lake City and I thought that it was like altitude sickness, but it's wild. And then the next time it was right before I had a baby. We were in bed and my wife was like, I think I'm going

into labor. And I jumped up and was like, ready to go. I mean, I was packing up, ready to go. And she goes, oh no, I think it's okay. So then I laid back down and the next day I woke up, I had vertigo. You blamed her. She blames herself. I didn't blame her. She said she thinks it was stress related. Yeah. You know. You stressed out about anything now? I don't ever think I'm stressed,

but maybe my body just handles it in a different way. I always think that too. I don't ever think I'm stressed,

but then it's like, well, I have to be stressed. Yeah. I don't think I like saying it. I think just going on stage has got to be stressful

yeah well i got full-on white hair now and and the the girl cutting my hair was like you've been stressed out a bunch and i was like how maybe yeah i don't know my full-on white hair all on the sides of my head oh like mine? Yeah, not as pronounced as yours, but it's, you know, it's there. You're going to be there. Oh, I'm getting there quicker than you did. I have full on white hair. Not as bad as yours.

It's not Santa Claus hair. Mine was going white. Mine's been going gray quick. Like, you know, the sides are, it's all just white. Yeah, and it's like, you know, you're going on stage, I mean, you you know you're going on say i mean you know you're going on stage in front of thousands of people but it's like you know i did a bunch of

shows this weekend and it's like they're all sold out you're like i want these all to be good i want people people are paid money to come and see these shows i want them to be good now and i don't feel nervous but maybe i'm maybe this is manifesting somewhere else in my body. How do you feel right now? I feel good. I had a little more coffee than I needed to have. Yeah. And I got soap in my eyes earlier.

But other than that, I feel great. That's just regular day stuff. Yeah. But yeah, I think coffee is, you know, I've not been smoking cigars and I think coffee is jacking me up now. I thought about, I mean, I have a big one right there, but I thought about caffeine too, because it's probably not good. Nothing's probably good. No. It really isn't.

And especially, I don't know if that's what's in that cup, but Starbucks is particularly strong where it's like, geez, do I need that much? I just want some regular coffee that still tastes good. But Starbucks is so strong. I mean, it's out of control. I think people are on so much caffeine that it almost feels like it doesn't work and your body's just like in a constant state

of like like going yep but then you feel tired then you crash yeah yeah but you can but you know you can like

feel tired but you can't go like you can close your eyes and you can tell your body wants to go to sleep but you're oh yeah but you're

you just can't totally and I like that has to sleep, but you're, but you're, you just can't. And I like that has to be. Yeah. Cause you drink caffeine late at night, right? I mean, I have like, if I eat, I don't drink coffee, but I would diet Coke for dinner. If I have coffee after five, I can't hardly sleep. 5 p.m. Yeah. What time are you trying to go to bed? Seven. Not early. I can't hardly sleep 5pm yeah what time are you trying to go to bed

7 not early yeah I felt it this morning I woke up at 2.45 this morning for a flight that's a tough time to set on your alarm clock and you get back to the hotel at 11 you're like I gotta wake up at 2.45 but I woke up I drank a Celsius I drank an energy

drink just I needed to and then I got the rental car and, I got to wake up at 2.45. But I woke up. I drank a Celsius. I drank an energy drink. Just I needed to. Yeah. And then I got the rental car. And then I got to the airport. And then I got a cup of coffee on the flight. And then I wanted to go to bed. And I just closed my eyes.

But I was wide awake the whole flight. It's not good. Did you sleep with your clothes on? No. You told me that trick. Yeah. Yeah. You got to pretend like it's a little nap.

You got to bed at 11? Mm-hmm. I didn't fall asleep until maybe midnight. Yeah. Yeah. You got to pretend like it's a little nap. You got in bed at 11? Mm-hmm. I didn't fall asleep until maybe midnight. Yeah. Yeah, you just go in there. Because then you go in there, have everything on, just take a nap, watch TV. So you're not forcing yourself to go to sleep.

You're like, I'm going to just watch some TV, relax. You look as more relaxing. Okay. And then you're going gonna fall asleep a little bit then you're longer just lie to your body trick it a little bit yeah you're just you're instead of because you're now going right when you get in bed you're like we gotta go to sleep now i know and i know you have a pocket you have a lot of stuff going on today you know what kind of clothes are you wearing to the airport that probably i'm wearing

i'm wearing this exact outfit pretty much yeah different shirt you know i changed shirts for the podcast got dressed up but you're not like a sweat pant guy no i never want to be one of those guys yeah yeah it feels like i feel like a slob yeah when i see people at the airport in like pajamas i'm like what do you what's going Slides and like a neck pillow hanging off. Yeah, and maybe they don't fly a lot, but I would think that would be even more reason to dress up for the occasion. Yeah.

Like you're like, I don't know. I just feel like we're going, we're about to get on this state-of-the-art equipment to fly across the country. This is an event. Yeah. It used to be an event. Yeah.

But now it's like, yeah. yeah i mean now you have like spirit airlines and you have where it's i mean they're just fighting each other i mean you maybe need to be loose you're gonna have to that could be like you get on a plane you're like we're about to have to throw down yeah Yeah. I mean, that could be. I saw a Spirit Airline video the other day. The guy was threatening the guy taking the tickets. Like, you won't let me on this plane. And I was like, geez, that's the last guy I want on the plane. The guy's strong arm and the ticket taker. Yeah.

Okay. I had a show in West Virginia this weekend. I think it's the first time I've ever been to West Virginia. It was a corporate. And my flight out of Nashville was at 610 Friday morning. And it was late taking off, which usually that early flight is safe. But they had some issues and I missed my connection in Charlotte. And I had to rent a car and drive from Charlotte to West Virginia.

How far was that? It was like five hours. That's a beautiful drive, though, isn't it? It was raining the whole time. Yeah. There's always some issues. On your inside and outside. Yeah, exactly.

The tears coming down my eyes. It's always some issue like, oh, the guy's put in too much washer fluid, and now we just got to take a little bit of it out. And it's like, why are you not putting the right amount in? Yeah. I didn't say what it was, but I'm like, it's been here all morning. Like, what? The check engine light come on when you started it up?

That's what I'm saying. You got to wrap your head around that people are just not good workers, and they're just a lot of not good workers. It really is. And they're just a lot of not good workers. It really is. And you don't think it can be, you think, like, I was thinking about this this weekend. Like, professionalism is kind of going away. Being professional.

So no matter what you're doing, it's, even if you're waiting tables, you just be a professional to that customer. And that's all kind of going away. Where you go in and we try to get coffee at this place on the road. And it was like they closed at 4. It's 345. So two people asked. They were going to have to make another pot. But you could just feel where we just go.

We just read the room. I mean, they did not want to make this more coffee and they're having conversations out loud about well should we make it for them or do we not want to make like you know where you're like this is uncomfortable and it's like well your thing says you close at four i know it's 3 45 we didn't really realize you know but it's in not not that you're trying to go into a place late and do this, but you're just kind of like, I don't think y'all could do this in a way that's not in front of us. Yeah, when I worked in restaurants, it was like, I was all about that. Oh, 345, you guys closing 15, I'm not going to go in. But now it's like, no, you close at four.

Like, I'm here before you close. Yeah, I get the frustration of it, but it is. And it makes, when I worked in, if, if they're about to close, I,

I wouldn't go in. Cause I don't want to feel the pressure of them on me. Right. And so I would do it like that, but it is true. If I owned a restaurant, I would be like, we're open till four. Like,

let's, are you not going to be successful? You know what you want? Like, you don't want to like go, I'm going to get this coffee for here and we're going to hang out for an hour. There's a difference between a coffee to go and let me get a table and have a meal right here. Yeah.

Yeah, but even if that's, even if they come in, it's not on them. It's not on, you have hours on the door. Yeah. It doesn't mean, you know, you could say our kitchens are like we, you know, we close at five. Our kitchen closes at 3.30 or 4.30. You know, do something like that. Or then you just walk in the kitchen that actually closes at 4.30.

Sorry. And then, you know, if you're trying to do something. Yeah, we got some stuff still left under the heat lamp if you want that. Yeah. Yeah. something. Yeah. We got some stuff still left under the heat lamp if you want that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah,

professionalism is. I took a page out of Dusty's book this weekend. We, I have a minivan that can't hasn't run in three years and it's been sitting in my driveway and I've been promising that I'll get it towed for three years. And I've just never do. I was like,

I'm finally going to do it this weekend. So I call a towing service in Nashville. And the guy answers. And I go, hey, I have this, you know, this minivan that doesn't move. I was wondering if you could just tow it and get it out of the way of the driveway. And the guy goes, I mean, what kind of driveway are we talking? Yeah. And I go, you know what?

I'm good, man. I just, the way he said it annoyed me so much i'm not calling like a guy who doesn't tow trucks yeah i'm calling you're a tow company yeah the whole thing just made me so mad i go i'm good he was like what i go yeah i'm all right and hung up i love that and then you know i didn't find anybody else to call but i'll find somebody else three more three years three more years i'll get that mini man out of it. It is good. It's like those places should just go out of business. And people just got to go.

There is a weird, like, people don't want to work. People don't want to, like, professionalism is kind of dying. And it's dying in a lot of ways. It's dying in, you know, I mean, in just a lot of stuff. It's dying in just a lot of stuff. I think even entertainment and food service and doctors. There's just not this. It's too loosey-goosey.

Everybody's too dressed down and too this. I can say I'm part of it. We're also a comedy podcast. You know what I mean? Even if we're we can do this, but you have to have the professionalism of what you're putting out. You know?

I don't know. At the airport though, I always think about that. Just the way people are dressed. Not everybody, but I'm like, when I see like pajama pants, it really does bother me. Where I'm like, what? Cookie monster pajama pants. You can't put on just some jeans. Like, it's not hard to put on jeans.

Just do it. Like, if you got some issue, fine. But I'm talking normal. What kind of issue? I don't know. Like, if you're real big or normal. What kind of issue? I don't know. Like if you're real big or something. One foot's bigger than the other. Yeah.

I mean, you know. Sweatpants are about all you can wear. I just want to be sensitive to the one person listening. It's like, I can't wear jeans, you know. But, you know. And you want to go, but they could still. Yeah. You could find a pair.

It might not look the way you want it to. But you can into some yeah but it's like yeah it's sloppy out here yeah uh do we have any other thing like where i was in washington that's where we had great shows this is paul bunyan i was in banger well the whole weekend was D.C. Basically, D.C., then Fairfax, Virginia, which is like 16 miles from downtown D.C. George Mason University. Nice. And then Providence, Rhode Island. And then Bangor, Maine. Bangor, Maine.

That's all they say? Bangor. That's what I think. That's what someone told me. Okay. But this is Paul Bunyan. They gave me this sweatshirt. And it was like, Paul Bunyan's a tough, you know, when you're like trying to fill out.

It's like, is he from here? And there's an argument that he is. And then you're like, is he real? Because Minnesota claims him too. Yeah. And where do they get a golf club that big? I mean. I don't know.

Well, don't they claim the Finger Lakes are him too? The Finger Lakes in New York? I don't know. He fell down. He put his hand. He created the lakes. He was that big. So he's not real.

Or was an ancient giant. Maybe he roamed around the country. Keith Alberson has a joke about that. Yeah. Is he redheaded? I mean, he didn't look redheaded there, but is he? I don't think so. I was worried you were looking at that depiction on that sweater and asked if he was redheaded.

Well, Native Americans, you know, have stories of redheaded giants that used to live in North America. Yeah, we talked about it on the Mythical Creatures episode. Yeah, so I wonder if Paul Bunyan was a redheaded guy. That makes him a little more scary. Yeah. Who knows? But yeah, I have heard Keith Albersett's Paul Bunyan joke.

Gary Sinise was on my flight, the one late back in Nashville. And I was trying to think, who's the most famous person that's ever been on a flight that you've been on? You fly Southwest, so probably you. Or Henry Cho, he's sitting next to you. No, when I fly with Henry, he goes, I'm not sitting next to you. Henry gets his name. I flew with John Crist on a Southwest flight before. I don't know.

I know Eddie George was in your seat one time. Yeah. with John Chris on a Southwest flight before. I don't know. You say, I know Eddie George was in your seat one time. Yeah. I was trying to think who else. Kristen Chenoweth was on my flight

like three weeks ago, two weeks ago. Wow, from the West Wing. Yeah. I'll be dusty. I'm not good at recognizing people. Al Gore. I've had Al Gore on a flight.

Yeah. You'd recognize a country singer. Al Gore's a big dude. Is he big? I'm pretty sure what I remember, I felt like he was like a big, he's like kind of a big guy. He's bigger than your, you know, like an athlete big guy. Tall?

Oh, just like large. Just like a large dude. Unless I don't remember that correctly at all. I always feel like big time politicians are big dudes. Some of them are small. But I feel like overall they're pretty big dudes.

I think leaders in general are big people. Bigger than average? Yeah. It adds a level of intimidation if you're a real big dude. Vince Vaughn. Vince Vaughn on the flight. That's a big one.

Also a big guy. That was in Chicago. Chicago to LA. Jalen Rose. Yeah, these all beat my... Bates is probably my top five.

So my list stinks. Where you guys are flying, there's no one's going. Where are you going? Charlotte. Yeah. But that's Lieutenant Dan. I mean, that's a big one, dude. Yeah. He has a foundation here in Nashville.

I think he lives here. Oh, does he? I it was like uh wounded warrior or whatever foundation that he helps with i think they're based here and the lieutenant dan band he's in a band okay and they play shows for veterans and stuff yeah yeah good dude yeah the shirt i mentioned last week i got it the week before when i was in florida and then I left it in my rental car. There's shirts for all of you guys. I left it in my paycheck in the rental car. So they sent it to me. So I wore it.

I brought you guys our one. So very nice. It's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. And all the fun, classic Nate land lines. Well, Nate land lines on there. Nate land.

Yeah. What's your source? No. So what's your source is a deep cut dude that was three years ago yeah it's crazy they said um we sent you three larges and an extra large and then there's like a 10 second pause and they go for aaron yeah and i was like yeah i know yeah Still too small. Yeah. I think I'm going to get that extra. Yeah. So anyway.

Were y'all anything? Y'all just boring lives? Boring lives, man. I was touring the Dakotas this weekend. Oh, that's right. Sioux Falls, South Dakota. And then. Look, here's a random.

Yeah. Not to stop. You probably about to roll into something pretty good. Not really. You picked up on that? Yeah. I was thinking where I watched

Elvis. Just talk about the professionalism. I watched Elvis. Oh, it had nothing to do with what I was talking about no no it was at the end of Elvis the movie okay they show like the one clip I've seen Unchained Melody and he's you know he dies six

weeks it's a video of he dies six weeks after this and I was watching it and he was in uh he's doing the video and he's singing it and it's seeing look of the elvis unchained melody it was like this is kind of when i started thinking about like this is what makes me uh it's it's got to be like live. This is live at Ann Harbor. There's a video of him. Performing it.

Yeah. So like I think this is the one Yeah. So yeah. He died six weeks after this. Can you hear it? Yeah, I don't want to play too much of it get it flagged but oh he's got two cokes all right he's got two two coke yeah cups in front of him but like so he's this is what made me kind of think about this stuff and this one's about because it's like the

whole elvis movie they're talking about he's a he loves his fans right he loves his fans and uh this dude you know how bad this guy feels like at the point being he's he's overweight by the way like it's the alcohol it's the fast food the cokes the everything this dude feels miserable on the inside of his body and and the outside i mean terror like he just can't feel great and he goes but when he goes out there it's about those fans and he's it's about a show and so i was watching it this weekend and uh i just couldn't like i was like this is it it made me i was like i want to try i want to start playing it like before we go on stage just to just to remind like it doesn't matter what you feel in that moment i mean you know where this is at rapid Rapid City, South Dakota.

And that's what made me think of it. That's where that's at. That's not in LA. That's not in New York. That's in Rapid City, South Dakota. How many people, artists, do you think could go phone it in, in Rapid City, South Dakota? Because what's the point?

He's at a point. He doesn't need to go to Rapid City at this point in his career. But this dude is singing his heart out, and it's unreal. And he doesn't look good. He doesn't. But it's like it's about them. And I just like this. It was, I don't know.

Aaron phoned it in this weekend. Yeah. The Elvis stuff makes me so sad. Because that's why I won't watch that movie, but it makes me so sad. Okay. Well, I just think he was such like a,

cause what you're saying, I mean, he doesn't feel good. He's he dies soon after this. Yeah. And it's like, he was such an amazing performer and seemingly a very nice guy. Yeah.

Yeah. I, yeah, I know. I agree with all this stuff. But it's like, it's the idea. I'm just saying it's the idea of like, that's what you do. When you go out there, that's what you do.

There's a professionalism to it. And that goes in everything that you can do. Not saying if you're waiting tables, you're not thinking like, I want to be a professional waiter. You're doing it for that time being. But go be a professional for that right yeah two years you got to wait take pride in your job yeah and it's uh and and i think that stuff shows out into this i mean it's insane i was just watching it and it's just like

i mean he's miserable there's just he shouldn't and they ran out of mic stands i mean he could have done a fine job yeah well it's like yeah that's south dakota's fault yeah well you aren't wrapped i mean they're not gonna have he's like i will do the best with what you give uh i think that guy holds that mic all the time really i think so i mean you think it's just a one time and he's also wearing the same jacket as Elvis? He goes. Well, I didn't know if he's another guy in the band and he's just helping for this one song.

I can't imagine you could pull a band guy over. Steve on the drums, you might come holding this mic for me for a second. I got to play a piano, which you know nothing about. This guy probably though is like, I used to hold the mic for elvis i mean that's a credit i would hold that yeah me too yeah i mean it's yeah it's he's you could argue the most important person there at the moment but i mean it's it's it's

just look at him and i you do it you hate where he was at and uh stuff's sad, but it's something to be said about when he walked out there. It's like, you know, and the whole movie, the Elvis movie is just saying he did it. He loves the faint. He never wanted to like, it was like,

he wants to give them a show. He wants to give them, you didn't, you know, unless I know stories, I don't know, but it seemed, he never went out.

It was never the audience's fault. It was the relationship between him and the audience was pure performance and pure respect and understanding that they are there and they deserve the highest I can give them at every point is every point going to be the, I mean, they're going to, you know, but in general, it's no matter what he's doing, the best he can, he's doing, he'sit it's no matter what he's doing the best he can he's doing he's giving it everything yeah that's yeah all right that's what that's what so that's where it was because you were in rapid city yeah i looked like that a little bit i'm doing some of my shows

right there sweating like that yeah um yeah sioux falls and then fargo great weekend i didn't spend any time there at all really that's like a corner of the country that i'd never been to i've never been to south dakota it was fun been in north south dakota sioux falls is a cool town uh i had you know their their delicacies what they told me went to a diner there and they had a a sour cream and raisin pie you heard that doesn't that sound horrible awful i mean a sour cream pie sounds awful. A raisin pie sounds awful. Just sour cream sounds awful to me. Sour cream raisin pie.

And it's on the menu and it says Midwest favorite. So I asked the server and I go, is this like, this is like a Sioux Falls thing? She's like, oh, she's like, oh yeah, we sell out every day here. She's like, I'd give you one, but we're, I mean, it's 11 a.m. We've been out for hours. Right. And then she comes back a couple minutes later and goes, I found a slice for you. And I tried it and I was so excited to talk about it.

Dude, I could not find a single person that cared about that pie all weekend. That woman lied to me. Nobody cared about the sour cream and raisin pie. And she just happened to find a slice. Maybe it was just that restaurant. That's a sales technique. Nobody had heard of it. They're like, what are you talking about?

She created her own demand. Yeah, but it said Midwest favorite. I'm going to get the signature dish where I'm at and it was not the signature dish.

Now that lady is a professional. She knows how to sell a pie. She is Elvis. Yeah, Elvis served the same. That may be the woman watching him in that video. Yeah, this is what it looked like right here. Looks delicious. She's and Elvis are the same. That may be the woman watching him in that video. Yeah.

This is what it looked like right here. Looks delicious. She's the one holding the mic. Aaron's the one eating it. Yeah. She's holding the spoon. While Aaron sweats. Yeah.

Keep it coming. But great weekend. Thank you to everybody that came out. Fargo and Sioux Falls. She goes, we have this sour cream raisin pie. That sounds terrible, but I'll take two of them. Yeah. Gotta try it.

When am I going to see this on a menu ever again? Where'd she find that slice, too? Yeah. We got a sucker about there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She got me.

Anyway. Well, I went to Indianapolis. Helium. Great weekend. I went to Indianapolis. Helium. Great weekend. I sold out six shows. And very fun. A hot weekend. Small room?

No, no. And I've been going to Indianapolis for years and years and years. And so this is the first time this has happened. So it was really great. That's awesome. People were awesome. And they were so fun. Yeah. That's great. And I felt a little like Elvis,

some of those shows, I felt not good. And I went out and I gave, I got a lot of digestive issues. So sometimes I'll be in the green room burping a lot. You've probably seen it. And then, yeah. So then I go out there and the burps go away and I feel like it's some psychological issue I deal with. And then it's a great show. I feel good. But you're backstage struggling. Yeah. And then I go out and I'm like, this is what it's all about.

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Dizzy and burping. Yeah. You got a lot going on. That rules though though It looks like Very exciting You guys don't always eat the best

But it looks like you wear the perfect jean I do wear the perfect jean I'm so excited to talk about it Dusty and I are both wearing right now Today's sponsor The perfect jean Man I love these jeans I've been wearing them non-stop

I gotta go nothing Consider that promise kept, my friends. We stuck to our word. We stick to it. Yeah, it's the mission statement. John Tierney. Tire. Yeah, I don't know.

Tierney. Probably exactly right. Tierney. Tierney, yeah. Tierney. Hello, bear. New form of it. It's a little hello, folks.

Hello, bear. I'm an old man, 74, who learned of Nate Bargetts and his comedy about eight months ago. Around Christmas, I learned of the concept of a podcast in January.

I found Nate Land and I've been listening to many of your old podcasts. But I was being selective listening to shows that Nate was hosting because I enjoy his comedy. Today, for the first time, I listened to a show where Nate was absent.

It was a hilarious, great show, podcast. What a concept. Thank you, John. John Tierney. He gets it. Thanks for taking a shot. Yeah. It's a different.

I saw one comment that said, Nate Land without Nate's my second favorite podcast. I love that. That feels pretty good. That's great. Nateland. That's great. Yeah. You know, that's when we just call it Nate. The Nate one.

Video pro. You get that? Yeah. Yeah. It's good. Uh, I think you're right. Good.

Uh, everybody got it. That was going to get it. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Well, I got to check sometimes.

I got to see what's going on. Yeah. Video pro. I audibly check sometimes. Yeah. I got to see what's going on. Yeah. Video Pro. I audibly gasped when Aaron triple tapped the back of his phone. Yeah, that's a feature a lot of people don't know, but you can customize tapping the back of your phone to do whatever you want on your iPhone. Yeah, I did it once. I found out about it.

He's like a video show you or something. Yeah. And then I did my flashlight and I found out about it. It was like a video show or something. Yeah. And then I did my flashlight, and it's just a nightmare. You're just doing the accidentally all day. It's just all – there's no point. I mean, it's just too many – it's not convenient to be like, tap in the back of your phone. You don't have to do it like that.

Yeah, you have to. You can just kind of do it the right way. Weird that this guy is video pro though did he audibly gasp because he was excited to see somebody using this type of feature or that he was shocked that it was happening i don't know either way i appreciate it man i'll take your gasp i'm going for gaffs these days weird saying this weekend like you think it's you know because a lot of people we had uh great comics this week. We had Dustin Chapes and Johnny W.

But Derek Stroop was out this weekend. And he's not been out with us before. I know Derek Stroop, but I didn't know him well. Very, very funny. But he was saying, like, we try. He had us try root beer with the half and half. Because he said one of his friends told him about it. You get A&W root beer and put half and half in it, and it's, like, really good.

It tastes great. And it's, like, a trend on. Like a root beer float? Yes. Almost. It makes it like a root beer float. And so it started like a trend but he said one of his buddies just told him that he did it and then someone else was like oh

yeah that's like going on tiktok and he's like oh i thought like my buddy invented this and it's you know people do that a lot it's a lot doesn't it happen more people say stuff oh yeah and there's a little bit more of where they just go you know yeah you know uh birds can't fly in the rain and you're like you just know that yeah nobody just knows it now it all comes off the internet are you saying people take credit for it yeah yeah yeah they just don't they say it and then they go how do you know that you go they go i just know they don't reveal their choices and you want go, say you watched a video. If they said, I read it in a book, I think you would feel better because at least you had to go.

Sure. We all know how hard that is. But when you're just like, I was just mindlessly scrolling. I learned this in four seconds. Yeah. You know, Derek Stroop posted that this was his favorite weekend of comedy, doing that show with him. Oh, really? And I find that interesting because he did a weekend with me at Looney's Comedy Club in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Well, you weren't selling out shows back then. No, but I would think that would still be his favorite. It should have been his favorite. Yeah, so I was pretty offended by it. Yeah. Wow. I made sure he posted that. He also comes out with John Crist every weekend.

That's true. Becky Brandt. When you make butter from churning cream, it up separating into two things butter and butter milk so that's why it's called butter milk it's the milk left over from making butter okay okay okay that's good to know i thought that's what you said oh yeah i didn't know exactly but i knew it was i mean it butter milk is not good to me i never liked it My mom growing up, they were poor, right? So they would drink buttermilk all the time. But once in a while, they would get what they called sweet milk.

And that's the milk we know. Yeah. And that was a treat to get that? Yeah. It's like finding that sour cream pie. Exactly. I found a jug. Yeah, you found a jug of sweet cream in the back?

Yeah. You ever heard of sweet acidophilus? Yeah. That's what I used to drink. It's a jug. Yeah. He's got a jug of sweet cream in the back. Yeah. You ever heard of sweet acidophilus? Yeah. That's what I used to drink. It's in a yellow one. What is that? I like, is that a Nashville thing because of purity? Acidophilus?

Yeah. I did it because of my buddy, Ryan. I used to always buy sweet acidophilus milk. Is that the Roman god of milk? I don't know what it is, but when I was a kid, my grandmother would have in a yellow jug, purity, sweet acidophilus milk. And I don don't know what it is but when i was a kid my grandmother would have in a yellow jug yeah purity sweet acidophilus yeah and i don't even know what that means could have came up with a better name that's for sure it's like a dinosaur it's dinosaur milk yeah it's tough to even get going you don't even yeah acid off uh yeah but you to probably type in milk. Yeah. Like sweet. Oh, acidophilus right there.

Yeah. Purity dairy. Sweet acidophilus. Never heard of that in my life, dude. Yeah. Wow. Nashville's hometown dairy. Okay.

Yeah. So what was it like? How would you compare it to other milk? It's just like Dr. Pepper. I don't know. It was just good milk. I don't know. Was it just like,

I mean, you can't really tell the difference between that and milk? Well, that's in a white jug, but the one I remember was in a yellow jug. Yeah.

So let's say the gallon was yellow. Somebody brought you cereal with acidophilus in it and they said, here's cereal and milk. Could you eat it and go, this is not milk. This is acidophilus in it, and they said, here's cereal and milk. Could you eat it and go, this is not milk. This is acidophilus.

I don't think it was that different. No. Okay. Well, you know what it's got? The regular milk doesn't have streptococcus thermophilus. That's how you get strep throat. I was going to say, it's strep throat. Put a tongue depressor in there.

This could be, doesn't it look like all dinosaur names? Streptococcus thermolipus. Lacillus acidophilus acidophilus binophoterium you know they could here's my theory and dusty i feel you'll back me up on this they could have simpler words for all this but they want it to be you don't know what it is yeah yeah you know. They don't want to put that it's some type of fluid from a sore that the cow had that night. Oh, my God. Yeah, golly. I mean, what would you call that in one word, though? Puss.

I didn't know if that word was even acceptable on the podcast. It seems gross. Well, it seems gross. Yeah. But, you know, it's like that's what they say about when milk is sold as prepackaged chocolate milk or strawberry milk, that it was something going on with the cow's udders. So the milk was discolored. So they just added chocolate or strawberry to it so that they could, because it's still

safe, but it's a bad color. Just to get the color out of the way. Yeah. Interesting. See, Dusty always attributes his sources it's always they he doesn't have credit for it

he's just like yeah there's no need to dig in right last week we chocolate milk only around because

milk offers like there are milk they're doing the wrong colored milk there's enough to rely on it

maybe I don't know I mean i i would think that you know maybe they were like making chocolate milk and then suddenly this started happening with the cows and they were like you know what let's use that milk for the chocolate milk now save some money yeah so maybe not all the chocolate milk is that but chocolate milk's pretty good pretty special well you know i like to make, you know, I don't want to buy it pre-packaged. You know, the, the, the carton you used to get at school. Yeah. That never was good to me. I love chocolate milk, but I never liked that. I liked the milk. I didn't like the paper getting wet. Yeah. You know, the first guy to ever drink chocolate with milk,ish botanist han sloan look at this dude

doesn't this look like a guy who's taking chances in the kitchen he's like what if i pour this in my acidophilus milk and he changed the world what's the botanist uh they studied plants probably has the time on his hands yeah yeah he he found the the local Jamaican beverage consisting of cacao and water, but he added milk to it. And he was like, this is way better. Man, I didn't know there was like a single inventor. I thought it was just something that's just something you do organically. Maybe that's something that it's a single inventor because that's like something people are just like, you're a moron. And then he just kept pounding away. Right. And it was almost like you couldn't even say it was someone else because

this guy was so annoying about chocolate because the first people probably be like i'm not eating you know your weird milk you're putting what and what old dr slo. He just had to do a lot of milk back then, right? It was all milk. It was a big part of your life. Yeah. Brennan Hubert. As a pharmacist, I've heard of people taking some wild supplements, but I have to say,

Dusty's cow gall bladder pills is a first. Hilarious that he kind of struggles to explain what they even are. I'm a big Dusty fan, so I'd love to team up and get his own line of supplements rolling. Yeah. I mean, they have a whole line of cow parts, you know, because it's, you know, kind of an ancient belief that, you know, you can take like parts that like you would eat like a cow liver to help your liver. You would get the parts, you know, so a cow liver to help your liver.

You would get the parts. So that's kind of what this is. Yeah. I mean, I read about it, but I didn't memorize it. So that's why I'm struggling to explain. But I did read about it, and I go, this sounds interesting. And I took it, and I didn't feel any worse than I normally feel. Oh, there you go.

So you just kept doing it. Yeah. But the idea is that, you know, because they have digestive enzymes that you take. This is what I think happened to me. I used to have acid reflux, still do. But for 10 years, I took this Prilosec, which they say is a 14-day treatment. Yeah. But I took it for 10 years. And I feel like that

I trained the part of my body that produces stomach acid to not produce some stomach acid. So now I don't have enough stomach acid to digest food properly, which is why I burp all the time. So you can take digestive enzymes, which are a little bit of stomach acid that's supposed to help you break it down and that's kind of what these pills are too yeah that's my own diagnosis based on seeing a lot of doctors hearing a lot of things and they never like know what to do so i've been piecing it together myself yeah all right i believe in you yeah jordan porter aaron complaining about people using clear and jumping ahead of him at the airport but then raving about using an app to jump the line at the car rental place is hilarious well what's the difference aaron

i think i might have misspoke i i didn't i don't have an app to jump the line. I was just able to check in for my reservation through the Enterprise app. So then you can walk right to the car. Right walk to the car, which I think speeds everything up for everybody still. It still proves my point. Why don't you like Clear? Because Clear, it's literally just a line cutting service. It doesn't speed up airport security as a whole. Whereas TSA PreCheck is good for everybody.

It's a net good for all of TSA and everybody getting through it. Clear is just you wait in line and then some dork gets escorted up to the front. Sorry, Dustin. Just gets brought up to the front of the line. And you're like, well, you're not helping anything. You're literally just cutting a line. You're helping that guy. That guy's being helped, but it does nothing for the overall speed.

What about the clear employees? I mean, I hope they go bankrupt. I don't care what they do. I mean, I agree with you, but I do love it. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Because I got clear pre-check.

I mean, like with clear pre-check is great. You just go. Cause then you got two options. I think it's for the, the, the people that travel a lot versus the people that don't travel a lot. It doesn't matter how smooth of transition you have. If you've got families and people checking in,

it's going to be a problem. And so if you're a all you're a traveler all the time it's like here's two more different options that i don't think it's slowing that line down no it doesn't do any it doesn't do any good it just cuts people in the line i know but i'm saying it's for it's kind of like uh if you want to look into it if you want to go do it if you want to spend the money and you fly a lot, here's a little convenient thing that you can go do that kind of speeds your process up. Right. No one's denying it's great for the person that uses it.

But I'm saying if you use TSA PreCheck, that's good for everybody. The people in general boarding benefit from that. How? Because they have their own lanes. Clear doesn't have its own lane. They just take you and drop you in front of one or the other. Clear PreCheck does. They put you in front of the PreCheck lane.

That's what I'm saying. Well, I could advocate for a clear line. I would go for that. Give us our own lane for clear. Maybe we don't even have to get our bags x-rayed. That's what I'm talking about. They don't have to do it. You just go up and show your ID then you just go. It's a very quick kind of a very quick thing about if everybody had clear at the airport well then

no then it wouldn't matter but the thing is is you're just trying to go pre-check's become a problem because pre-check i don't think it's become a problem i think it's great i think it's great no no but i mean people know about it more you know pre-check for years was i mean you it's your hay bells are going through there no one's in it was great but then you go start going then i remember days where they you'd be you pay for the pre-check then they'd be like they just start sending people through pre-check and then you're like furious because you're like these people don't even have pre-check yeah and they're just trying to speed up all of it but But now PreCheck, there's some lines where you can, some airports where PreCheck can be, I've gone not PreCheck because it was quicker to go regular than PreCheck. Because PreCheck line was so long.

In Nashville, PreCheck is quicker than clear in Nashville. Almost every time. I just don't do clear because pre-check's faster. By the time somebody comes up to you and goes, oh, come on over here, come on over here, put your eyes in front of this thing. Yeah. Couldn't you argue those pre-check lanes,

if they didn't exist, there'd be more general boarding lanes, it'd be moving faster for everyone? You could argue that, but I don't think we're that. I think there's plenty of lanes to most airports. There's plenty of lanes. I think it's about giving you the option for, I think you got to split up the option about, you know, like the people that are flying and they're not,

a lot of people are not going to do clear pre-check because they fly once a year. But then the ones that are. Do you want to use clear in places other than the airport? Would you want to use Clear, let's say you go to Starbucks and there's a Clear? Well, it's a mobile app. His show this weekend, they had that. What? Someone posted that they were standing in line

for your show and they came up and said, if you have Clear, come up here. And you got to get out of line and go up there. Oh, you're bought and paid for. That's what this is. Big Clear's gotten to us. Big clear. I did not know that.

That's interesting. That's what they said. They said the average clear customer uses it 12 times a year. Their dream is to use it 12 times a day. Like everywhere you go, there's a clear lane. Well, that seems excessive. That's what I'm saying. I always say that when you say that. Anyway. that seems excessive that's what i'm saying i always say that when you say that anyway i don't even understand what you're saying i don't think

there'd be 12 lines a day like i mean walmart would be pretty awesome any anywhere you go think about anywhere you go you can just you get to just cut people because you have clear so you're saying walmart the checkout lane yeah i mean back in the day now now they have self checkout where it's fine but back in the day, now they have self-checkout where it's fine. But back in the day, Walmart would have like one lane open and you'd be in this. You go in there for one thing and you're there 45 minutes waiting in line. I don't know what the benefit is though in Walmart. I think it's like going into a show, I guess, is like you don't have to go through the security because we've already done a security search on you.

So you're approved. Like, that's the point of it. Yeah. Just getting out of line at Walmart is like, well, this guy, the government knows about this guy. Let's let him check out quicker. Yeah. I don't think that makes sense. Well, I don't, you know, I wouldn't mind though, just the idea of like, yeah, I'll just scan my two fingers here and I skip this whole line at Walmart.

Yeah. People get, I know it gets, yeah. People can get mad, but it's just like, it's another option. And so I think if you fly a lot,

it just, I never thought of it like that. I want all the shortcuts I can possibly get in the airport. I'm sure you do. What if you could use clear to skip to the front of the southwest line yeah i got status for southwest i worked hard to get to the side of that line dude yeah yeah talking to a16 right here brother come on uh cameron clark i have a standing desk and treadmill that i usually do two miles a day on. I had already done it today, but after

hearing Aaron almost walking a marathon, I had to get it back out. Thanks for the exercise motivation. That's what I'm talking about, dude. A lot of people reached out and asked for the model, the treadmill. I never thought I'd be a treadmill influencer, but here I am, dude. How far do you walk? On average, about 10 miles a day. 10 miles? You did 18 in one day. I did 18 one day. I was just to see how much I can do. While doing emails?

Yeah, while editing videos for the podcast or emails or whatever. Just walking on it. How many hours is that? I mean, we don't believe it, but... I sent you all the data. Do you really put it on your leg? Yeah, I put the Apple Watch on my ankle. Well, that's why it's supposed to be on your wrist. It's racking up really fast. Why do you put it on your ankle? What do you put the Apple Watch on my ankle. Well, that's why it's supposed to be on your wrist.

It's racking up really fast. Why do you put it on your ankle? What do you mean it's racking up really fast? Like, the motion is making it feel like you're going a lot faster

than you really are. You mean the motion of me walking on the treadmill? You can calibrate it so that it works with a treadmill. Did someone put it on for you?

But if you put the F? No. I put it on. I got an ankle strap for it. It's like a vertigo. Wait, you can wear an Apple Watch on your ankle? You can get a longer ankle strap to put it around your ankle. Is that just because you can't? No.

What are you talking about? Well, it's just extra straps. You got extra straps southwest. You're just because you can't? No. What are you talking about? You got extra straps Southwest. You're just an extra strap guy. It's not a seatbelt extension. Everything you put on, you got to go. Hey, do you got a little extra though back there? Every strap you are involved with.

I'll take your watch and a little extra of that. I need a little extra of the, you know what I'm talking about. I need a little more slack. I don't understand. Does it not work on your wrist? Well, if your arms are up typing on a keyboard, it's not going to track your steps and your mileage. You can calibrate it and put it on your ankle.

But if you got the treadmill, does it show you like how far you're walking? The treadmill does too. The treadmill will track it. What are you walking? What speed? Anywhere, depending on what I'm doing, 2.4 miles per hour to 3.2.

If I'm just watching something, I can go fast. But if I'm typing emails, I need to be a little slower or else I can't really type. Yeah, I mean, how long would it take you to walk 18 miles?

It was, I mean, it was all day. Yeah. It shuts off after 99 minutes, this model I had. So I did that four times. 99 minutes four times? Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah. I'm telling you, man. No, a lot of people don't believe me, but that's okay, dude. That's like, yeah, a little over six hours, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was a long day.

Wow. I wonder why people don't believe me. I get it. Look, I wouldn't believe me either. I'm not saying it's in character, but I'm saying it didn't happen. Or is there a refrigerator on the desk? I bet I'm saying it didn't happen. Or is there a refrigerator on the desk?

That'd be pretty good. I thought about having one. Or the standing one. Yeah, it's the best. Mary Ellen Goodwin. Aaron, there's a name for you sister has. It's called misophonia. My son has it.

Misophonia may cause a reaction to sounds such as dripping water, chewing, snapping gum, or repetitive noises such as pencil tapping. How about that? Yeah, I don't, I think, I can't remember what I said. I'm aware that it's a real medical condition. I, what I'm doubtful of is whether my sister actually had it. And because miraculously the last 15, 20 years, I haven't heard a thing about it, but when she was in a growing up in our house, it was an everyday thing, you know, much now, but I'm saying there's still noises around in her

life you know i think certain people can just start to irritate you like if you that's what it is yeah and so she's just here and i think that's what this is you're just like you're irritated with people yeah that's what it is you're like it's not you it's the sounds you're making yeah right it's generally everything you're doing do. Like if you're a roommate with someone and they've started to irritate you, suddenly everything they do. They do, yeah. Triggers are commonly repetitive stimuli and are primarily related to the human body. Chewing, eating, smacking lips, slurping, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing, and swallowing. And then once you get focused on it, you just can't focus on anything else. That's just all you hear.

Yeah. Are those noises? I've had that happen. Nose whistling? Yeah. Some type of OCD situation. I feel like it's just normal. Yeah. I think so.

Melissa Ladden. I would like to know the order in which the band arrives to record this podcast here's my guess nate breakfast aaron dusty maybe aaron and dusty arrive at the same time i don't know but i do think breakfast would arrive before nate if it wasn't in his home maybe he does today you were here before me today. Yeah, I would say that's not the order, though. I'd say usually you're last. Well, maybe.

I was going to say it's pretty random. I don't think there's any. It's in order of who cares about this podcast the most. Brian's usually last. I'm first. Yeah, Nate's first. Always first. And me and Dusty right after him.

Nate's first, but he lives here. I'm first. Yeah, Nate's first. Always first. And me and Dusty right after him. Nate's first, but he lives here. I'm first. Actually, today you weren't here first. A lot of times he's last. There's a lot of times, even though I live here, I am the last one to sit down. I'm usually still working on the podcast. That's true. I was kidding earlier.

You guys roll up and be like, hey, what are we talking about today? I'm a very on-time guy. People don't think that about me, but I'm very on-time. Yeah. Yeah, I can be earlier. You guys roll up and be like, I'm a very on-time guy. People don't think that about me, but I'm very on-time. Yeah. Yeah, I can be running. Yeah, I had a drive. You know what I did?

I had to do a phone call, kind of a long phone call today, and I just got the car in drill. You don't do that as much anymore, do you? No, but I've had to do it a few times because I've had a few calls and i'll just be like i'll just call you like it's just nice to i just go take a big lap around wherever like you know and you just because it's like talking and driving is like easy

it feels better than just sitting yes here you're out you feel like you're doing something right. I'm going somewhere. Brian Fox. SNL regularly brings back successful sketches or characters. For example, there's been multiple David S. Pumpkin's appearance by Tom Hanks. Given the success of Nate's episode

and specifically the George Washington sketch, would Nate go back for a cameo in a future episode to reprise that role? If asked, I could see Nate style Washington being a hit as a recurring weekend update segment. I would know. No,

next. No. Yeah. Yeah. I would. Of course they, yeah. I just feel like,

I don't know where you're going to put them in though. It's like specifically that thing. The weekend update idea sounds fun. But just what's the character? You just keep making jokes about the metric system and stuff? It's the setting. I don't know if it was me. It wasn't me being George Washington what was funny.

It was what George Washington was talking about. So if George Washington was more the other way, I think you could. But you could maybe do another sketch with George Washington of this kind of thing, of another, here's another thing that doesn't make sense and you kind of change it. That you could do.

But yeah, George Washington coming out of nowhere. another thing that doesn't make sense and you kind of change it that you could do but i yeah george washington coming out of nowhere i mean unless you had another sketch about that has nothing to do with george washington but it's about something ridiculous that people use and he could pop in and make him he goes i agree like you know or something you can make a thing like that like easter it could be about you know easter is supposed to be about resurrection but it's a bunny eggs stuff like that that just makes no sense yeah yeah and i'm sure that's what snl wants to talk about the true meaning of Easter. All right.

I'm just trying to help you along. That's a perfect point. This is very funny. Yeah. Yeah. This guy's good. Yeah. This guy's good.

That's what you're going to pitch him? Well, you know, guys, church never starts when it says it's going to start. I'm not afraid to hide my face, but if you are, that's fine. We saw it in the episode. Where I didn't cuss or anything? Yeah.

You saw it. Kevin Allen. Nate mentioned keeping it clean, but certainly a less than Christian joke. Wait. Nate mentioned keeping it clean, but certainly a less than Christian joke. Wait, Nate mentioned keeping it clean, but certainly a quote less than Christian joke concept has come up at some point. What is the possibility of him keeping a dirty joke notebook and then touring with it under a pseudonym sort of like Garth Brooks did with Chris Gaines. Nate could just grow his hair out and we'd all be fooled by this breakout foul-mouthed cool guy. Speaking of that, yeah, I would never even have a –

it's like I couldn't even do it. I'm just doing what I'm doing. And so it's like my mentality is like too much. I'd have to really switch. Like you would have to, I'm just not going to be comfortable doing it. So I'm not going to be, once you're not committed,

I'm never going to be able to do it. I really don't like, I mean, it's a very funny idea of like doing it. I got 10 minutes I'd like to do right now. Yeah. like doing it uh i got 10 minutes i'd like to do right now i told you like grow your hair out that's yeah i said to jett foxwood on his radio show i was like yeah i was like just like once my parents die and we'll be just dirty after that yeah but it's no i i don't have any yeah i i just it's got to be what you want to do and what you

and commit to it so i wouldn't be able able to, I would have a hard time doing it. And I, yeah, you know, but yeah. Well, I don't, yeah. I mean, I, yeah, I got some old jokes, but I don't do it now for like that reason too. It's like, I don't know. Now people know me for a different type of humor. So I would feel like it would be a betrayal to like come out with some real dirt and not even my dirty 10 that i would say i have is really not that dirty not that dirty not that clean just dusty right exactly that's all about exactly yeah

yeah just be yeah yeah just be you and then uh i see interesting to write You write a stand-up act Could you write Now I think about What to write for the next hour I'm starting to think of that I wouldn't think of it like that But I don't know

I don't really have an answer for it yet Because I don't know the direction to go in. John White. We booked our tickets to see Nate at the Netflix Comedy Festival. When you have four headliners at a show like that, how long does each comedian normally go on for? I would love to see the full set of each of them, but I have a hard time imagining this will be a four-hour show. We also booked tickets to see Dusty and Leigh-Anne

Morgan, but unfortunately, we're flying out the day before Aaron. Oh, no. That's okay. That's all right. I think they did the right stuff. Those were the three-hour picks, too. Yeah. I mean, come on. Aaron might be on that flight. His show might get canceled.

Aaron? Is that get cancelled Aaron? is that you? he's just sitting there Apple watch on your ankle are you 16? you got two seats and the seatbelt's coming over John? no Aaron's show will be amazing thank you at the net the idea of all of y'all doing a an hour each is hilarious yeah it would be too much I my suggestion was or what I said

is I think we're I think we were probably need a host. So we'll get a host, uh, and then we're going to go out and do, uh, probably 20 minutes, 25 minutes each. I bet. And, uh,

and then at the end of it, all go out together and then probably have some, you know, let people try to pre-write some questions in or something. And then just, you know, kind of like at least have an idea of where that's going so it is a good show and it's if there is direction now for those who don't know who are the four comedians uh sebastian mescalco jim gaffigan me jerry seinfeld wow what a show it's pretty good lineup what a show yeah all doing

an hour all doing an hour yeah yeah that would hour. Yeah. Yeah. That would be, I mean, going last on that would be brutal. Second, you could only go first or second. And second would be tough. But first or second, you at least be like, I mean, begging for first. And then going second. Host us 30. I mean, yeah. It's like, I don't know.

You could, I wonder if you could be like, hey, everybody go do 30, 35 minutes. And you're like, we're going to reset. Maybe you could do that. That's a long show, man. I know it's a long show. But if you're like, here's four comics. Write a 30 minute. You know, it's like in your head.

Like, I would just put together a 30 minute set. That's why it's like doing 20, 20. Everybody's going to be between 20 and 30, I bet. And then it's, you know, 25 probably. And then,

and then you go out together and. Sebastian would have to go last. I would think just to like at the end of a, of the four hour show, right. Just to bring this energy. Yeah. You know,

at that point you'd need some act out. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what we're going to do. I suggested because the order is like you're like, I don't want to make Seinfeld go last, but you're just like I don't know what to do.

You're Seinfeld. You guys decide? No. I feel like I'm going to have to spearhead it a little bit. I mean, everybody's going to be fine with whatever. You might have to host. Yeah, I'd host it.

But I kind of figured it's kind of like a years thing. That's how I always think comedy. I figured I'll go first, and then it'll be probably Sebastian, Jim, Seinfeld. Because I don't know who's – I think Jim's been doing it longer than Sebastian. So you just kind of do it by a years thing where you're just like hierarchy of – Yeah. I hope you all fight about it because that would be –

Yeah. I hope there's some real – I hate those guys. Seinfeld always – he's like i don't care you can i'll do whatever me second yeah i'll i'm not telling look i'll go whenever you just i'll do whatever you want to do that's that's the only direction i can think of so we'll tell us about butcher box yeah get incredible deals and premium cuts from ButcherBox. We love using ButcherBox. It is a high-quality meat and seafood you can trust.

It's very easy because it is delivered right. Name the chicken, Dusty Slay. And then these people in Milwaukee, this girl drew this picture for me. Oh, my gosh. I think this says Lydia. Yeah. But I don't know how to read in cursive, and I'm sorry about that. But their podcast looks great, and she drew that.

Yeah. It's really crazy. People can draw. Like, I don't know how. So I appreciate those things. I wanted to show that off. That's very cool. Yeah.

I don't know how people draw. You know? I don't think I can draw. Do you never doodle stuff in school, really? No. Kept it pretty serious. I drew this guy. just today on the podcast. I was never a doodler.

I would doodle, but I would do almost like fractals, like geometric designs. Yeah, what's a fractal? You know what a fractal is? No. After you drink a lot of acidophilus. Yeah. My fractals are acting up. Is that the person drink a lot of acidophilus. Yeah.

My fractals are acting up. Yeah. Is that the person that delivers you the acidophilus? That's what a fractal is. It's like a repeating pattern all around. Like a swoosh. Yeah, we'll just draw like random stuff like that. It looks a bit like an octopus. You think that's what led to your fear?

Your downtime is just boring. Like education stuff. Even your goofing off from practice. I don't know. I would always balance my checkbook when I got bored. Yeah, checkbook and seventh grade. I don't just pay the bills for the family when I'm bored. Have you ever written a check?

I have, yeah. I had to write one. Have you ever written a check? I have. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to write one. I write probably one a year. For what? Last night was it, I mean, just on average, I would say.

Okay. But I had to pay something last night. You could pay online. It was going to be $33 more for the process. Convenience fee? Convenience fee.

So I thought, I'm just going to write it out. And I started too big. That line's not that long. Yeah. And it was $1 not that long. Yeah. And it was $1,269.06. And I wrote 1,000.

And I'm like, uh-oh, I'm out of space here. I do that every time. It starts real big. And then it starts to get, by the end, it's real crammed up in there. Yeah. Like, you're just, it's going up. What did you buy? Well, it was a bill I had to pay. But then Ruth ruth said don't put that in the mailbox she's like you

got i would take it in the post office why and she said because uh check washing people will steal it and watch the checks and i'm like i'll meet you halfway i'll just put it in a u.s postal service box on the way here which is what i did but then my buddies i thought she was being ridiculous my buddy ben hall who you know said just had a check stolen from his mailbox and they did $5,000 worth of stuff. They washed it and rewrote it. I think it's a big thing.

Catch me if you can. It seems like they're going to the right homes. Yeah. They get an idea. Old people who write checks. Yeah, they're finding... As I'm getting people who write checks yeah they're finding yeah yeah as i'm getting that like they know where they're going like they're but that's interesting you ask that because checks are like we i have to look up like what goes in how to write it out

i've had to do that before i remember i wrote my old roommate i had to write my rent check to him yeah and i wrote it and i gave it to him and i'm walking out the door and he goes hey hey uh you forgot to sign the back of this and i was like what he goes you forgot to sign the back of this i was like i wrote the check to you signed the back of it right and we fought about that for like 15 minutes. He's like, no, you got to endorse it. So they know that you, that you're, it's your check. And I was like, you endorse it. It's just two 20 something idiotic argument. And I remember being like, so you just think every check you've ever gotten has been wrong. Yeah.

Like every paycheck you've gotten, they just didn't do it correctly. He's like, I never thought about it like that. Yeah. It's kind of fights we were having back then. At Notre Dame? This is my room. When I was in Nashville a few years ago. This is when you got out of the

exchange. This is where you, the house you lived in when someone broke in and stole your Arby's jumpsuit. Yeah. The real world. He left college. My buddy got into the leftist house. He left college. My buddy. Got into the. Left his house.

It's what we argue about. That's right. It's a Ball State argument. You go. Yeah, it is a Ball State argument. You go, I can't believe I'm having this conversation. And then it's like, he's like, this is, I've been waiting for this conversation my whole life. He's like ready to go about it.

That's a different house. My roommate. But he left. His mom got sick. So he went to stay with her for a while came back this is a madison tennessee there's like seven homeless people in his house living there whoa he had to like kick open the door and they're just they're just squatting there he had to like go through and get them all out and the cops came they just squatted there for like two or three months, just took over his house. Isn't that crazy?

That is crazy. It's crazy to think about, dude. Yeah. Well, knowing what stuff you had told me about that place, though, and having picked you up there before. Oh, yeah. There's no doubt that they were like just watching that and go, this guy's not coming back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was rough. It was a rough night, really. I mean, how do you, like, do you ever think that you feel relaxed as a squatter? You just, mentally, you just do not care. Probably on a lot of stuff. Yeah. Well, based on what they found.

Yeah. They came in there to get after it. Yeah. So I don't know if they were. Did he own that house? Yeah. Because I don't know how you want to live in there

after that what if you're one of the squatters and you leave something and you go and like you got to go back

and go hi I left my wallet had a lot of cash in it yeah I don't know if you remember me but

like the week before I was one of the't know if you remember me, but like the week before. I was one of the guys that, do you remember when, because how do you bring that up? You don't go like, obviously, because you could probably knock on the door and go,

obviously, my wallet's in there. He's going to go, I don't know if you remember the time that me and five other, you were out of town for a little while. You were out of town for a little while. And I lived in this home for two to three months. I subletted this house.

I subletted this house without paying and you didn't know about it. I think I left my wallet behind the refrigerator. We were behind the refrigerator more than you would think. Yeah. Yeah, you don't got no copper wires back there anymore. Well, I wanted to talk a little bit about the sun. I don't know if the sun gets enough respect around here. I mean, I was going to wait, but Aaron said it's about to burn out in five

billion years, so I thought we better get to it. Didn't they just say the sun flared things? Oh, yeah. Did you have that on there we better get to it. Didn't they just say the sun flare things? Oh, yeah. Like, didn't you have that on there? Oh. I heard about it. Yeah. The main topical stuff is sun flare.

You're talking about the sun. Never heard. What are you talking about? It knocked AT&T out. Oh, that's what caused it? That's what they say. It says solar flares. Yeah.

Solar flares. You guys believe that? No. I don't. The idea of it is, yeah, no one is pure. That's what they said. Solar flares. I don't even know what that means.

Just a little extra sun gives a little extra. It just flares up a little bit. My sun's flaring up. You ever watch a bonfire? Yeah. Every now and then there's a little something gets going on there. Yeah. Something pops off.

That's crazy that the sun could just a little, I imagine it's always popping off like that. That's what they say. They'll drop an EMP on us and shut down all our stuff and say it was a solar flare. What's an EMP? Like an electromagnetic pulse that's supposed to knock out all electronics. Okay.

I had a lot of trouble saying electronic. Well, we talked about the sun a little bit last week. Dusty and I debated whether sunscreen was good or bad for you. I'm against it. We got into it. Yeah, hard stuff. We also talked about the solar eclipse that's coming up.

Do you know that? There's a full solar eclipse coming up April 8th. We were invited to do a live podcast in Indianapolis because they say right around there is where it will come and that's where the X hits because the last one came from the northwest down to the southeast and this one's coming up from the

northwest going up to the northeast. It's going to make an X right across America. Someone invited us. Well, Aaron jokingly said last week, we should do our podcast from the path where it's going to be totally. And I think people, everyone in the path has invited us. I've gotten multiple emails saying, you should come here and do it for the 30 seconds that it will be in darkness.

I'm going to be at home protecting my family. Did y'all see it when it came through Nashville? Did y'all see it? Yeah. Can I be potentially sticking the mud? Yeah. Was I the only one a little unimpressed? I was wildly impressed.

You were at O'Hickory, right? Yeah, I got a video of... I teed off and hit a golf ball. In the dark. In the dark. I mean, that's fine. You were playing golf, so you were having a good time. I was just looking at it.

But it's the crickets in it. I mean, it's insane. Like, it's just out of nowhere. You hear nothing. But I was just watching videos today of people, like, crying. Well, I know. Like, it's a spiritual experience. It got dark for a few seconds.

Yeah, but you're talking about a non, like that's lunacy. There's no one that's like that, except the one video you saw. So on planet Earth, there's four people that are crying. But you watch those, that video goes viral because the rest of the people are just, wouldn't make a funny video. They would be like that. So no one's like that. But it's crazy just to be like, you hear nothing. And then like that, it goes crickets.

And then it's like it's outside and then back to nothing. And it's like, I mean, crickets, how dumb are they? Like, I mean. Yeah, they're like, oh, it's dark. Let's get out. I mean, they. They're like, oh, I feel like I it's dark let's get out i mean they they're like oh i feel like i didn't get any sleep yeah yeah are you kidding me this year they're like just sleep in your clothes yeah sleep yourself that's what they do yeah well i was downtown and it was cloud cover

so i kind of was disappointed oh really yeah i i I watched it from my house, and it was cool. But what I'm saying is I don't know if I would travel to go experience it again. I mean, we were getting it so good in Nashville. I mean, I wish I could see if I have that video. What's wild about that is ancient you know ancient civilizations would have really taken that as some sort of a sign dude can you imagine if you're just doing whatever then that happens yeah and we're out here hitting golf balls and barbecuing and you know making fun of the crickets but like ancient times i mean it would be like well let's sacrifice some things you know in the

in the bible again to bring you back to jesus's crucifixion i'll save this for an snl sketch yeah yeah um it was dark for like three hours while he was on the cross from like noon to three okay and some historians think maybe that was an eclipse dark did they say dark physically dark or dark like i mean i think physically it's a sad time like the sun was blocked out some was okay from clouds maybe yeah i mean yeah i think it's there weren't a lot of weather terms back then. Yeah. I'd rather just say that didn't happen than to say, oh, there's also happened to be an eclipse that day. Yeah. Lasted from noon to three. What are the odds?

Yeah. Three hour eclipse. How long is this one? I mean, a few minutes. Yeah. Minutes. Three hour. What happened there?

Yeah. That's a lot. Yeah. I mean, we yeah, we I mean, we had the kids out. We were everybody's. It was like it was a great day. Sure. We were playing golf.

The kids were at a pool. We're at Old Hickory Country Club. And then we're – so I'm hitting. And then I was like – we stopped just the middle of the round because it's like you can't see. It gets completely dark. But it's – I mean, I was blown away by it. I mean because it's like you gotta you can't see it gets completely dark but it's i mean i was blown away by it i mean it's just insane just the middle of the day it's just completely dark sounds like it's dark and then it goes back to normal pretty wild yeah yeah it's a pretty crazy thing about this delta is offering a flight where they follow the eclipse through the

air it's from austin to detroit designed to maximize how much time they spend within the path of totality and they even have a plane with bigger windows so you just hop on and just follow it along so you're just in the darkness oh the whole time yeah for as much as you could i looked this up last night it's all every one sold out really every flight well there's one flight but every every seat is sold out now they are offering some later flights um catch the back end of it yeah yeah i think there's some major league baseball games that are having to move their times because of it they shouldn't move the time just stop the game yeah yeah That's the coolest thing.

Yeah. I don't know, but I think there's a couple that were going to be day games that moved to night. Wow. That's a missed opportunity. Yeah.

Yeah. They should just have the lights on and then during the eclipse, you keep playing. Do it like Sam lot. Put some fireworks up in the darkness. How cool would that be?

Like, we're going to turn the lights on and when it goes dark, is it, if it's two minutes, like make sure have at at least one at bat in complete dark, in a game that played during a solar eclipse. You know when people would watch that game? That's true.

They just do a mound visit that takes up the whole eclipse. That's what they would do. People are always predicting things that don't come true but people are predicting that after this that this going across america like this making this x that there will be these earthquakes and i think we talked about this last week but on this fault line that runs right up basically kind of near the path that we haven't had earthquakes in in a long time and so you know i just want to throw that out there while we're having a little fun baseball talk. Yeah.

Could be some negatives. I don't know. I'd like to see where you read all this. Yeah. Well, my TikTok is wild. It is a read. TikTok. Yeah.

TikTok's where it's at now. You got that algorithm honed in. Yeah. TikTok's the old YouTube. Yeah. You know, YouTube used to be a free world out there but it's not as fun TikTok is still pretty good I tried to find I googled more earthquakes after an eclipse

it said the only thing there's a full moon during an eclipse because it blocks out the sun and I guess the tides can be stronger from the full moon, so therefore it could trigger more earthquakes. I had a time lapse

of downtown Nashville that went viral. I can't find it right now. You should have put your dates at the end, though. Yeah. Yeah. When was the eclipse? 2017.

Anyway. Well, the next one's not till 2044. That's the next time we'll get an eclipse over North America. 2024. And interesting, we had Two so close together. Yeah. And that they do form an X across the country. I think that's pretty wild.

Yeah. Regardless if you believe anything's going to happen or not, it is pretty wild to think that an X is being formed right over the country in a short matter of time with these eclipses. Yeah. I mean. It's crazy. What's at the center of the X? I don't know. Yeah.

I think this is it not Indiana town, Missouri, something like that is where it crosses. Jackson County, Missouri. Is it? Maybe. There was a town in Illinois, I think, who is experienced in both. The one from 2017 and this one. I would get out of there. I think it'd be awesome.

The experience. The sun's 93 million miles away. Or 10 to 15 miles, depending on who you ask. Right? Yeah, I'm with you. I'm tracking with you. It takes sunlight. We've talked about this a little bit over eight minutes.

I've never put a number on it, by the way. But it could be a little more, a little less. You're saying? Yeah. You said we've never driven there. Who knows? Right. 93 million.

Even flown anywhere close to it. I don't think anybody ever when they say didn't like 93 you said 93 million years years away? Miles. If I said years I meant miles. Eight light minutes, right?

Yeah. Yeah. I don't think that's that doesn't really mean anything to anybody. I don't think even scientists like they say it and then it's like

what does that mean? You'd be like yeah, it's just what we're saying. You know, the solar flares we were talking about? Yeah. It takes eight minutes for us to see it. Yeah. That's how far away it is. Well, why don't they say it like that every time?

I think they should. All right. I'm like your buddy with a check that goes, all right, well, I never thought of it like that. This is a ball state. No, you got to endorse this. Would you sign your name on that? Would you stand by this check? You better endorse it.

So the sun's made up of gases, hydrogen and helium, and it's just held together by its own gravity. And I never really thought about the solar system, like what constitutes when it ends and when it starts. It's when the gravitational pull of the sun is no more. That's when it ends. So that's how big the solar system is, when you can get away from the sun. Does that make sense?

Yeah, so there's planets out there that are just on their own. Not necessarily planets. What's it called, The Oort cloud? I think so. Very outside edge of it. Past Pluto. There's little stuff that's still getting picked up by the sun out there.

You ever see the movie Moonfall? Yeah. Have you? Yeah, I haven't seen it. I just watched it recently. It's pretty new. It's great. The moon starts to get off its orbit. I might watch it again tonight. And it's starting to come around and kind of, I just, it's starting to come around and like, they're worried that it's about to crash into Earth. Is Kiefer Sutherland in that?

He is very briefly. Oh, I remember this movie. very briefly. Oh, I remember this movie. And, yeah, but the moon, they discover, is like a mega structure to where it's hollow inside. Are you giving stuff away?

Not too much. Probably. A little bit, but not too much. Is this fiction? Oh, this isn't the movie I'm thinking about. It's real. I mean, it's like, it's kind of cheesy in a way, but also it's good. It's entertaining. I was into it. Okay.

Yeah. I would check this. I would watch this. I think I've seen this. I think we've talked about it on this podcast before. I think I've seen it. The gravitation. The moon's falling on the earth.

Because the moon's starting to get closer. As it gets closer, it's pulling more of the earth. Because the moon's starting to get closer and as it gets closer, it's pulling. It's pulling more of the wave like there's big waves now because the moon is coming so close. It's pretty wild. I think the movie I'm thinking about had Kirsten Dunst and

she's like real depressed and going through all these problems, but then when the moon starts coming to the earth, she can handle it better than anybody because she's a werewolf. Well, she's just already got her own issues. So people whose lives are going great, obviously they're in disarray,

but I just watched a, an under, I've never heard of that. All right. Well, I just watched an underwater movie with her. I, I forgot about this.

I watched it because we talked about the oceans, but they went wait they were doing this uh you know the movie opens up where like the explorations they had been doing have gone completely wrong and they're way deep down and they've been drilling into the bottom of the ocean and they like opened it up and these beasts came out of the bottom of the ocean. And it's pretty wild. It's kind of boring, but also kind of exciting too. Kristen Stewart?

Kristen Stewart. Yeah, not Kirsten Dunn. I'm sorry. That's all right. Google knew what was going on. Yeah, yeah. Google goes, people make this mistake all the time. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Underwater. Yeah. Is that what it's called? It's called Underwater. It's an underwater movie and that's what came up. How about that? What's his movie that he's talking about? Look up Kirsten Dunst's Moon.

Yeah. I don't even understand that. The Moon Alisa Smile. That's it. Melancholia. It's an apocalyptic, psychological thriller art film. Well, you know I'm into

these sort of things. Kirsten Dunn. Kiefer Sutherland. It's not what you... I don't even know if I know what I think about it. The way you described it. It's a more movie about a woman who's dealing with some issues in her life.

And then, of course, the moon is what? About to crash. I mean, it's almost like a side plot. The moon is a side plot? It's kind of like, she's dealing with all these issues and then, oh yeah, near the end, the moon is about

to crash. Yeah. here's what a person thinks about here's everything she's going through with you know what the moon coming in this is a rogue planet

maybe I'm wrong about the moon although it has detractors many critics and film scholars have considered the film to be a masterpiece it was voted one of the

greatest films since 2000 and is listed in one of the best films of the 21st century wow it's between me and nate you're saying it's bad i'm saying for you it's gonna be bad did it say it was a depression trilogy in there somewhere yeah right here oh yeah it's a oh yeah it's the second film in the unofficially titled depression trilogy

the first one's Antichrist? Yep, followed by Nymphomaniac. I'll skip those, I guess. Yeah, I don't know. Depression Trilogy. Go ahead and mark that off. How could you make a movie? Someone want to sit and watch a movie?

Depression Trilogy? Yeah. Someone wanted to sit and watch a movie. Just like, just a depression trilogy. Yeah. Yeah. I watched them all back to back to back. I could see you watching it and being completely unaffected by it. Yeah. Uplifted actually. Yeah.

I'm sure if you leave away, your takeaway is like, I think the moon was coming close. Cause I don't think the moon or the planet have anything to do with this. It's about. Yeah. Her struggles. I can't even imagine.

I don't know. Maybe I would have to be confused. Cause like, how could you watch a movie about a planet or the moon hitting earth? And, and like, just focus on one person and be like, she's like, I'm depressed.

I'll be like, can you go to the plot? The whole movie, I would be thinking, they'd go, then jump off a bridge. The moon is about to hit us in the face. We have other stuff.

I'm looking at the plot session. I don't know if you could build a movie that Nate would hate more than. Plot, part one, Justine. It just follows this. It follows a dream. It's a dream sequence showcases slow motion shots of the main characters, a collapsing horse,

falling birds. Oh, a collapsing horse though. Yeah. All right. Write it back down. Well, it's like his dead horse joke. Yeah. And also a rogue planet crashing at the end. The initial inspiration for the film came from a depressive episode suffered by the director.

So Brian's like, you got any plans this Saturday? Let's sit down. You guys want to come over? Yeah, I'll be watching movies all day. I'll pop popcorn. What are you watching, Star Wars? No, no, star wars no no no the depression trilogy let's get it so i don't but i understand it so then it's just her

yeah it's an unofficial thrill it's not like an officially packaged trilogy but it's like but it's kind of grouped together by fans. Interesting stuff. I mean, I would, yeah, I think even the name and everything, I just probably wouldn't, nothing would make me go watch this. And then why did you watch it? Keith or Sutherland is in this. He's in Moonfall for a second.

Okay. I think there was just, there was a period in my life where I just saw everything going and there was, it was out, it was new. I know Kirsten Dunst and Kiefer Sutherland,

so I'm like, let's just watch this. It's a Tuesday night and Brian goes, I'm in the mood for an apocalyptic psychological drama thriller art film.

It's pre-family. Yeah. Pre-family, you don't. Do you consume different art now that you're married with a kid? Oh, yeah. Okay. you consume different art now that you're married with a kid

oh yeah okay consume no art now yeah yeah miss rachel and peppa pig i get that yeah yeah i get that yeah um so the the sun's getting hotter it's uh it's because it's converting hydrogen to helium so it's a billion years from now it's going to be 10% brighter than it is today. They shouldn't even mention it. They just shouldn't. Well, there you go. That's sooner than it exploding. So it's going to be unlivable here in a billion years.

Let's brighten it up now. I could go for a little brightness. Yeah. What's one little notch? It's not going to be like sliding it up on your phone. What's one little notch? That's what going to be like sliding it up on your phone. Yeah. What's one little notch? That's what I'm saying. How hard would it be?

Well, they're actually trying to get it cooler. We've talked before about dimming the sun. Oh, Bill Gates is trying to block it out. Well, we talked about it in another one. I think a few people tried to put up chemicals in the air to block it. Well, now- Smart. Smart.

That sounds good. No one voted on that. Yeah. Let's block the sun. Yeah. The giver of life to all our planes yeah now they've come up with another idea to put up a giant tarp in the it's like a parasol which you know just a giant umbrella where they go tied to they're like oh i think it up there we're gonna tie this down to the mountains yeah

so aaron can you give us like a synopsis? Yeah. Basically, having one single object like that, like a giant umbrella, is not feasible. So, the prototype they're working on now is to have like a bunch of… Well, I love… Yeah, it's like, oh, they're going to ask us if it's feasible. They went down a long road before they go. I don't think that's feasible. Well, you know what is more feasible

rather than one single object is to have a bunch of different, almost like drones, like thousands of them that can take the shape of whatever you need it to be in the sky. And then they kind of come together. Like in a stadium

when everyone has the signs. Exactly. That's a great analogy. Yeah. How about that? And you can even sell advertising on it. They're looking to secure commercials. Yeah.

Yeah. It's a beautiful morning. Open your carton. Yeah. Next tell. Next. It's the oldest reference. Nextel is not a thing?

Bell South. Yeah. Bell South. I don't think Nextel. Purity, sweet acidophilus. Yeah. They're looking to secure anywhere between 10 million and 20 million to build their prototype. And this is the quote.

They said, we're not going to save the planet, but we're going to show that it can be done. That's what they're trying to do. Oh, okay. Trying to dim it a little bit. Oh, it helps. I think the argument...

I can't imagine we're on Earth and the point of us is to go change a bunch of stuff. No, I think the point is let's leave. Let's go somewhere else.

What do you want to do? I don't think so. I mean, what do you, maybe let's get a start. But the argument is, we are changing stuff in the atmosphere, so we got to do something

to fix it. We got to start it. I know, but I just, it's, yeah, it's just, I don't, I can't, I just can't, hard time rubbing my head around putting a blanket

between us and the sun is what this world, what your life is meant to be. Yeah, they'll do it and then it'll crash on all of us and they'll go, if you had just given up your gas car, then this wouldn't have happened. Maybe an Afghan. So you can still see stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tethered to an asteroid. That's what they're going to do where different teams

suggest using an actual umbrella tethered to an asteroid that's what one team suggested these are a team of scientists from harvard and the university of utah i mean like you should look at that Michigan State am I right yeah yeah that was the they they were like alright we're gonna go catch an asteroid

we're gonna tie an umbrella to it to catch it yeah you gotta catch it sneak up on it space cowboys we gotta rope it yeah

gotta rope it it Got to rope it. It gets bucks and goes wild. We're like, calm down, boy. Calm down. And then we tie a large blanket. More like a sail. Okay, a sail in space.

And then we hope it never moves. Oh, I don't know. I don't know how we would do that. I have to read through this report. That's what I mean. How do you even get this far into having an article without someone in your science team going, how are we going to catch an asteroid?

Yeah. An article shouldn't say, well, at first one guy said, what about an umbrella? Well, we've landed spacecraft on asteroids. I know, but it's just stupid. It all sounds stupid. In a movie with Bruce Willis?

What would happen if you do block the sun? Is that going to be good? I think they want to block 1% to 2% of it. To do what? To lower the global warming. It's like putting a curtain on your bedroom. That's all it is. One of those see-through curtains where you can still tell what time of day it is. I can't imagine. That just doesn't seem like that's the thing to do.

Well, if you accept the premise, if you accept the premise, which is that it's getting hotter. I don't accept it. Well, that's the whole point of this thought exercise. It's if you accept the premise that it's getting hotter and it's increasingly difficult to live here and it will get to a point where it's impossible. What's the next move i think

so far that again like we just those people will deal with it yeah i think we just die off yeah it's over yeah yeah maybe it is over yeah oh yeah you guys should watch melancholia yeah yeah the dinosaurs had them yeah you know they have. They had their run. Just another extinction error. This is the first episode in the Depression Trilogy of the Nate Lynn podcast. Yeah. We got a couple more coming up. You're not going to have to deal

with any of this. But I'd like to, you know, at the end of my life, look back and go, I did what I could. Yeah. Did you look at a kite

in the sky? He's professional. You gave $8 to, you agreed, they can tie a part of it on top of my home Hey I got a van out In the driveway Why don't you tie it to that Oh I'd love that

If it lifts it up It's fine They're trying to reduce solar radiation By 1.7% So you know look We're not shooting for the stars They're trying to reduce solar radiation by 1.7%. That's bad. So, you know, look, we're not shooting for the stars. Well, we literally, one star. Yeah.

Yeah. It's the one that's the problem. Mm-hmm. You know, Superman got his powers from the sun. Do you know that? I thought he was from a different solar system. What if the sun was like, I'm going to just go away? Yeah. Why don't they try to move the sun was like, I'm going to just go away? Yeah.

Why don't they try to move the sun? The sun is moving. We're tethered to it. We're moving with it. Because of the gravity. But why can't we just go like, and scoot over just a little bit more? Yeah.

Why don't they say something like that? Move slightly. move slightly and then they go everybody on the count of three push to your left yeah like why why is that not the move though it's eight billion people pushing to the put some spaceships do something put some spaceships on the earth yeah push it a little out so we get a little further from the sun and that would cool it because we'll be a little further just move our orbit out a little bit that's the move i don't think if i pitch that in that meeting that's it because i feel like the guy would make fun of us and i'd go you said put an umbrella on it and then all of them would go well that makes more sense. I don't understand how that makes more sense because I'm saying like, you know, the Rockies get a spaceship, tie something to it. Y'all take off.

A bunch of spaceships take off and they just kind of drag the, you know. Just kind of pull it out a little bit. Just come pull it out a little bit. Just a little bit. Yeah. Just kind of. We don't need much. Just accidentally you're going to go probably the perfect amount.

Yeah. You would hate it if it goes. And we're like, golly, now go back. Go back up. Everybody's freezing. Everybody that way. Yeah. I think it's a great idea.

I mean, and if it did all freeze, then the oceans will probably freeze. And we just put on some thick coats. We have a little more land now. We can navigate. Boy, I was in Florida a couple weeks ago. We went out and paddleboarded. Hey, the ocean, Fort Myers, the sun there was brutal. It's like you could feel it.

I got really sunburned. But it's that sunburn. It's the sun where you're like, I'm going to be in bad, bad shit. Oh, yeah. Because it just feels like it felt closer. So maybe. Yeah. Put an umbrella there.

I thought about that. You know what I did? Set under an umbrella. That's what I'm saying. Tied to an asteroid. You could do that. But then the umbrella business goes out now now nate if your umbrella was big enough to also cover the guy you're playing with wouldn't you hold it up

for the two of you what am i playing i was paddleboarding oh okay yeah i assumed i'm sorry i don't know i thought you're playing golf oh give him? Yeah. If you're riding with somebody, you know, if it's big enough for the two of you. And then he would have one for his, you know, ancestors for 1,000 years from now. So then we both carry the weight of extra umbrellas. Right, right. Just so our ancestors in 1,000 years, they can't find out that they're related to us. Billion years. Billion years. Billion years.

Just like Elvis' mic man. Yeah. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's exactly right. And you hope that then they go, a little Aaron Webber in a billion years goes, you know what? I had.

There have been times where the human species was threatened with extinction. Like there have been, and aren't you grateful that those guys survived? What were some of those times? Look, dude, the bubonic. I mean, we talked about it on this podcast, the bubonic plague. We've had diseases. We've talked about some of those hobbit tribes that we beat out, competing for the top of the food chain.

Like, it hasn't been. Wait, what? Yeah, I don't. You remember that, right? The hobbits? Give me one more clue. They're all those. They're, you know, humans.

Homo sapiens weren't the only humanoid species. We eliminated. Now, this is a topic I'm into. We eliminated other ones so there's all these fossils that we found of humanoid creatures that humans just came in and just destroyed them so i'm saying it's not it was never a foregone conclusion that humans would exist i'm saying you don't feel any kind of gratitude to those past human beings that kept it going you don't appreciate that at all i mean i know i i think i appreciate it but

i mean they were trying to stay alive right uh i don't i would never expect i don't know if i maybe don't appreciate it but i would never expect them to have been thinking of me so like it's one thing that survived yeah there's a me that you're like i think it's i think it'd be crazy if that person's like we we got to survive this for whatever. You got to think of like in the moment to be like, it's like everything. You're going to leave everything better than when you found it is the idea. And so you're going to just try to be like, we're just trying to do our best. We're trying to get through all this stuff.

But I don't think I would never, you know, if they're like, I was thinking about you the whole time. You'd be like, well, what are you talking about? Like, just, you know, I don't think i would never you know if they're like i was thinking about you the whole time you'd be like well what are you talking about like just you're not yeah i don't matter well where's the line you care about your daughter's generation yeah i do i mean i think about like yeah the the younger generation and way and stuff goes and you're like yeah it's tough uh but i mean it's like you do you deal with what you're dealing with and you just deal with it in the moment and you hope you're moving forward and it's going forward. And then like, yeah, I'm not saying you don't want to leave a legacy or something behind, but it's just a very broad.

I think it should, you know, it's like I want my family and my friends. And if you do comedy, I want people to have a good time. There's all this kind of stuff and nice spirit thing. i don't want to go put an umbrella for the sun and then think about people like that i don't you know because what if the umbrella is bad and it backfires on us like we try this we take it down what if it becomes devastation it's like really like it kills uh species that couldn't survive with that low percentage of sun and now that species is not around anymore and that was something that this animal fed off of you don't care about the human species at all but you care about this but we're talking about well this it's all hypothetical i think it's just but like who

yeah yeah but who gets to decide that? Like, that's the thing is like, when you're going to cover the whole earth, we're all on it. I know. But I mean, you're like, that's, that's gotta be like, uh, it's got, it ain't just like, hey, we're going to go do this now. Cause I, you know, you're like, well, what? You can't, you can't just sporadically just out of nowhere go. We're going to do the umbrella thing. Yeah, you have to get a lot of countries on board.

Yeah, that's right. You win, I guess. Go to Poland, see if they want to. I don't know. A real cold country. Ask them. Are you guys interested in potentially getting a little colder? Yeah. Alaska.

Yeah. Russia. Yeah. What do you think they're going to say? We're getting a little colder. Yeah. Alaska. Yeah. Russia. Yeah. What do you think they're going to say? We're getting a little hot, okay? You guys, you cold countries, you mind if we turn it down a little bit? It's getting, yeah. We don't care when it gets to 65 in February.

It's starting to get a little warm. Warm. Do you mind if y'all have seven more dark winters? I was paddle boarding the other day. Yeah. I don't know if y'all have been to Florida, but the sun feels like it's on top of us down there. You know, the thing about Florida, this is a thought I had. When I was in Florida, it was like 90 degrees in the daytime.

And then the sun went away and it was still 90 degrees in the daytime, and then the sun went away, and it was still 90 degrees. Where's that heat coming from? You should tell that as a joke. Well, I've tried it as a joke. How do you get it? Mixed reactions. A lot of silence. Where's that heat?

Yeah. I mean, why? Maybe the moon's hot. Yeah. where's that yeah yeah i mean why you know it's like maybe the moon's hot yeah i think it's the same as when you turn an oven off it doesn't immediately that's a good point that's the best explanation i've had and then it doesn't cool but then the sun starts coming back out and you're like who's turning that oven back on yeah yeah stop turning it on where's my umbrella well oh that's a great question though if you had an umbrella in the oven uh uh above you know but below the coil would the oven be less hot well no i think i think i think the the analogy here is like let's say your oven you put your

oven on and it's making the whole kitchen hot because there are holes in the oven door that you've created. So now you go, well, let's put up some kind of shield around the outside of the oven door so that it doesn't make the kitchen unlivable. But do we live in the kitchen or in the oven? We're in the oven. No, we're in the kitchen. So now we got no heat because we've covered the holes. Well, you got heat coming. Well, I don't know.

Anyway, Superman's power comes from the sun. And he's kind of like solar panel. He absorbs it, so he doesn't lose power at nighttime. But if it were dark for multiple days, he would start getting weaker. Oh, really? Wow. Did they ever use that against them i think so okay the comic books i think there's been some comic books where he's like something's happened and he's in darkness could this be why they're trying to do all this now you never know that would've been interesting to

i didn't know about that super, to put that more in. Like maybe he can't be strong at night. You know? He has to do it all during the day. Maybe that's Batman's advantage. He's a real nighttime guy. Yeah. Because Superman really doesn't have weakness. You know?

Kryptonite. Yeah, but it's like that's. Who can get that? Yeah, no one. Lex Luthor. Yeah. But I mean, it's like kryptonite.

It's not on, it's not around here, but they mentioned kryptonite. They don't mention he has a couple of days of dark. Like, I mean, so Superman can't go to Alaska for four months. Yeah.

I guess not. That's crazy. He'd have to take a flight home. There's a big stretch of the year where you can do whatever you want in Alaska. Yeah. Superman can't do a thing about it. Wow. When he shows up, he's still got power.

I know, but how long does he have? I think he goes for a few days. Even if you've been in the dark for a few days in Alaska, when he shows up, he could still do some stuff. I'm saying there's months at a time where there's no sun. When's the last time you guys seen that movie? The Christopher Reeves movies?

Never. You've never seen them? You've seen them? My buddy Derek Humphrey was talking about this. I just recently watched them. Sounds like a guy you made up. Yeah. Joe Mayo. Dusty's imaginary friend that he watches movies with

yeah but weird that Superman is so into Lois Lane right like she's not that attractive not that good at her job

smokes a lot well everybody smoked back then right yeah you're talking about Margot Kidder yeah yeah

what I mean Adams is the current Lois Adams Right I mean the Christopher Reeve one Yeah yeah I mean like I'm just saying It's weird that he's into her So much

I don't think I would've ever Known her name Margot Kidder Yeah He had a poster of her up Yeah I mean that was my era I don't think

I'm not saying she's an unattractive woman But I'm saying you're Superman And that's like This is your Yeah she's very pretty This is your girl though Yeah Yeah

Yeah He has x-ray vision Maybe he thinks more than Skin deep You know what I mean And that's like, this is your... Yeah, she's very pretty. This is your girl, though? Yeah. Yeah. He has x-ray vision. Maybe he thinks more than skin deep. You know what I mean? Yeah. But it's like, he made the point that Superman is so good and moral, but she's not really. I know that might be what is attractive. Maybe. Maybe.

Maybe. Yeah, yeah. It's a little bit of what he wants to be. Yeah. Margot Kidder. Like Kidder. Like, are you kidding me? He's into her?

Yeah. She's still alive? No. Oh, really? I think she had a hard life after Superman. Oh, really? Yeah. I think alcohol maybe or drugs.

She died in 2018. So fairly recently? Yeah. I think alcohol, maybe, or drugs. She died in 2018, so fairly recently. That's a tough paragraph right there. Oh, boy. Yup. Okay. It's tough, man. Wikipedia took a dark turn. Thank you, Margo. i'm sorry i said those things

well that's okay i'll say this then yeah i thought we'd get out on superman what was that what was that uh ugly woman from superman what was her name why does superman waste his time why is he into her yeah i'm not saying she's ugly, but it's just like, I don't know. You're Superman. Maybe Superman needed those glasses because look at the leg. Yeah. It was an 80s look.

It was a different 70s. The first one was very pretty. I agree. Look, you know, the picture, she's very, very pretty. She kind of disappears

in Superman 4, I think, or maybe even 3. She's gone. It was probably some of the you know, years. Yeah, maybe maybe even 3. She's gone. That's probably some of the years. Yeah, maybe that's right.

What were you going to say? Well, I was going to get out on Superman, but since we just went down that road. Leap Day is this week. The sun, the Earth goes around the sun 365 days a year, but it's actually a little bit more than that. So that's why we get off the calendar. It gets off schedule. So we have to throw in a leap day every four years, but not every four years. Did you know that?

No. Do you remember that from our calendars episode? No. It's got to be a year divisible by four, but also I think divisible by 400. Okay. So the last time we didn't have one was the year 1900.

And the next time we won't have a leap year is 2100. Oh, okay. Looking forward to that. Yeah. So happy birthday, Tony Robbins. I like Tony Robbins. Yeah.

2,100. Yeah. Will you be around? Yeah. I mean, when were you born? Wow. 1991. 109?

Not a chance. Maybe. Yeah, with AI. With all that stuff. I. 109. Not a chance. Maybe. Yeah. With AI. Yeah. With all that stuff. I won't be in this body anymore. Yeah.

That shit. What is it? Neuralink? Yeah. Yeah. You get that. Your conscience will be uploaded somewhere. Yeah.

I'll be on a hard drive somewhere. I'll be in the cloud. The treadmill will work. I'll be emailing you photos. You'll be like, text it to me. You'll be like, text it to me. You'll be hitting your link. I'll be 129.

Alright. Is that it? Yeah. That's it? Yeah. This week I'm in Chattanooga. It's Comedy Catch Thursday. Friday I'm in Hudsonville, Michigan. Then Vincennes, Indiana.

Columbia, Tennessee. I'm very excited. Now it's this. I'm going to the Pacific Northwest Tacoma Comedy Club. March 22nd, 23rd. Haven't been since the Dead Horse with you. And then that's March 22nd, 23rd. And then 24th, I'm at Helium in Portland.

Driving down to Portland. Nice. So come see me there. That's a fun run. That's a great club, too. March 15th to 16th, I'm in Lowell, Arkansas at Grove Comedy Club. All right. My old favorite.

Dusty's picture's on the side of the building. That's true. But I'll be there. And then at the end of the month, March 29th and 30th, I'm in Las Vegas at Wise Guys Comedy Club. So come on out to that. I love going to the Grove. And yeah, say hey to Bill. This weekend, I'll be in New Orleans at the Joy Theater,

I believe. And then Friday, Hattiesburg, Mississippi at the Sanger Theater. Never done comedy in Mississippi. So I'm pretty pumped about it. And I like New Orleans too. I like doing comedy

in New Orleans. What town is it in? Sanger? Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I've done Sanger. Are you doing... No. No.

You're talking about the thing that we've done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a cancer benefit show they do there every year. Oh, no. I don't think so. If I am,

I've not been told. I think this is just a show purely for my own selfish profit. And the fans. Now, I am excited to go to New Orleans and Mississippi. I think I'm off this week.

I could have worked. Yes. If I wanted to. Yeah, that's right. And then next week I'm in Philly, Albany, and Syracuse, and maybe something else. But I think it's that. I want to say it's those. And then April 13th, 14th, special David in Phoenix. So if you want to come out to that. All right.

All right. We're all back. We love love you hope you have a great week and uh yeah see you next time nateland is produced by nateland productions and by me n, Nate Bargetzi, and my wife, Laura, on the Audioboom platform.
