Hello folks. I am Nate Wargetze, Aaron Weber, Brian Bates.
We are back. We did not do last week because we finished up the one night only tour.
So thank you to everybody that came out to that.
All the drive-in movie theater dates.
It was, I thought it was great.
I loved them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, people, you know, there's such a different thing.
And to get used to doing them and performing with, you know,
people are sitting in their cars and they're kind of farther away but i got kind of i mean i i really got used to it i liked
it uh i enjoyed it more than i thought it would yeah it's uh they're you know you get you there
it's just fun like it's you can hear the crowd they're honking or for laughs. Everybody did great. Nick, I see Nick's not here, which we miss Nick.
Nick was amazing.
And so it was, you know, fun hanging.
I mean, we had a fun hang.
I was, you know, sad when it was over.
Yeah, me too.
It was, there was definitely different.
Did you ever find anything else?
But you're, Aaron left a jacket.
I called and nobody answered, and then I kind of gave up.
But I got that NASCAR jacket, so I feel good about my jacket situation now.
You haven't wore the NASCAR jacket yet on the podcast.
I'm wearing it at home around the house.
I know, but you've got to bring it to the podcast.
Everybody would like to see it.
You're wearing the opposite jacket today.
A jacket of a man that doesn't approve his son going to nascar is the jacket you have
on right now that is you got to come with that nascar jacket that hat and that jacket don't go
together uh notre dame champs yeah what is that Women's tournament? Oh, women's basketball.
Okay.
A little false advertising right there.
I mean, you know, something.
You're grabbing something.
I know.
And you won the ACC championship?
They made that hat for just the ACC?
The women's tournament.
Yeah, well, we lost in the championship game last year, 2019.
Yeah, yeah.
So they go, well, we got – so they just already had that hat made,
and then they just put underneath it ACC basketball.
Yeah.
And then, okay.
Well, congrats.
Thanks, man.
You guys did great.
I appreciate it.
It's exciting stuff.
It was...
I'm trying to think of anything we did special on the tour.
Where did we go? We went to a bunch of places. We filmed a lot of stuff we did special on the tour. Where did we go?
We went to a bunch of places.
We filmed a lot of stuff.
We golfed a lot.
Filmed a ton.
Did some great stuff.
Nick's going to be...
The idea is...
I was hoping to...
Because we were filming all this stuff.
I've started filming stuff on the road.
We post on my YouTube channel, The Road Life with Nate.
Mike Lavin, or The Homeless Pimp, you can go follow him on social media.
We had all this stuff, so we're trying to see if we can put together
some kind of doc or something, documentary.
No.
We're just trying to figure it out.
We don't even know.
Me and Mike are just talking about it.
I'm like, I don't know.
I've never done one.
And so he's done something. He's done a lot talking about it. I'm like, I don't know. I've never done one.
He's done something.
He's filmed a lot of cool stuff.
There's a lot of stuff.
There's a lot of stuff, and I think we can do it. We went golfing, filmed the whole day of golfing, and that was fun.
Nick was out there on the card.
I mean, Nick's going to be the star of this documentary.
Nick's the star of everything.
He's so good.
It was fun.
And then so we went from Houston, and we all, you guys went back home.
And then I went, and we taped a special.
It is taped.
I wanted it to be taped.
I was so worried that something was going to pop, you know,
something's going to happen, and we're not going to get to tape it.
And we ended up shooting the special
for Netflix. Did two shows.
It ended up, I believe,
being really good. It's going to be very
interesting to see the cut.
Could have some different stuff in it.
Some stuff I wasn't expecting
to happen happened because it was
outside.
They had 100 people.
The audience had masks masks which was definitely tough
you know i got used to the timing of you know talking outside and the laughs being kind of
delayed or not hearing them great but when the audience wear a mask you realize that's that's
tough because you can't see it's it's hard to hear them and then you can't see their face so you kind of start talking
a lot quicker and you
can't tell if like do these people hate this
because there's no reaction
even if I couldn't hear laughs
you could see movement
at the trucks or you know
in the cars you could see some kind of sign of
enjoyment and
the special it was tough but we
it ended up being good everybody that
was that did it was awesome and uh yeah it'll be interesting to see yeah well i heard it went
amazing man so i'm excited to see it yeah i'm excited where'd you hear that mike yeah i want
to text nate the day as recourse i was texted mike and said send me some updates let me know
how it's going he said it went great yeah. Yeah, it went great. It was definitely very different.
There's some stuff, you know.
I should see a cut of it this week.
So I'm very curious to see.
We had some stuff happen that I'll be, you know,
I don't want to say in case it doesn't.
If it doesn't get in, I'll tell you.
But it was being outside.
We had some distractions.
And I'm hoping that it plays into it.
I think, you know, I don't know.
I think it can,
and, you know,
it's going to be very interesting.
Hoping it comes out.
I don't know when it's going to come out.
I know I'll get asked a lot,
but, you know,
we're hoping beginning of next year
it comes out sometime.
So obviously you guys will know here in day land whenever we do it.
But,
uh,
yeah,
it was a good time.
Good little tour.
I have two more dates,
two more dates,
uh,
San Diego and Anaheim.
If you guys want to come out,
uh,
this to the drive-in theater,
we're doing two shows up there.
Nick will be with me there.
And Dustin Nickerson will be with me.
Uh,
is a San Diego a San Diego boy.
Yeah.
So we'll come out to those shows.
Those will be fun.
I'll be officially.
And everybody that did come out,
I mean, it truly was a big help
for everybody to come to these shows.
That's special,
because I needed to get prepared for it.
And so everybody that came,
the audience that came,
it was huge. So, yeah. All right. Well, let's get into for it. And so everybody that came, the audience that came, it was huge.
So, yeah.
All right.
Well, let's get into some.
We got a lot of comments.
We'll read some from the Bigfoot episode,
which we didn't have any.
So this is going to be a big comment episode.
First up, Amateur Lurker.
This is a great podcast
if you're looking for entertainment
that has nothing to do
with the polarizing politics
or controversial current events. I thoroughly nate aaron and bread basket rifting on random subjects each week
they are by no means experts on anything which is why i appreciate the banter podcast hosts often
talk with a level of conviction convention conviction that is off-putting but not these guys
not even when you get stumped with the word that he's
like, here's the big word.
Proving their point.
I thought off-putting would be the problem.
No. Conviction
was the problem.
Turns out conviction was the problem.
Yes, that is.
This is a big week, too. Your birthday is
in two days, right? The third?
Well, it'll be the day before.
My birthday's tomorrow.
Yeah.
And then this comes out on the fourth.
Yeah, your birthday.
Yeah, the third.
Yes.
Yeah, and this will be out the fourth.
So, oh, bread baskets.
Happy birthday.
Got a little birthday coming up.
Just to assume you guys got me something.
I did.
I got you this podcast.
you guys got me something.
I did.
I got you this podcast.
I,
they,
That's funny.
Yeah,
that's pretty good.
Aaron approves.
I,
it,
yeah, we will have an election,
which we're not going to talk about that.
Well,
it hasn't happened yet.
It hasn't happened yet.
It'll be happening tomorrow.
I'm trying to do a joke about it. I was debating debating if i was gonna do it on this podcast or save it for
on stage i like to keep stuff uh to save it for the stand-up i don't know it's about the idea of
like celebrities telling people to vote i don't want to do too you know but it's just so funny i
mean that's what we're not going to be that infuriates me just celebrities that are like hey everybody go vote make sure you vote i'm sure
you you somehow figured out how to log into instagram but maybe you don't know how to vote
like that's the like that's how stupid these people are yeah you figured out a password for
facebook but maybe you forgot voting i don't know if you've heard but there's a president
it's like the boss of the country, and people vote.
Do you know when people are at home like, what?
What is that?
Yeah.
That's what I think.
How stupid do you, there are people.
The audacity to talk to an audience is insane to me.
Yeah.
And pure insanity to me.
It makes me want to not vote, to be honest with you. I mean, it infuri to me. Yeah. And pure insanity. It makes me want to not vote,
to be honest with you.
I mean,
it,
it infuriates me.
I will never,
I mean,
I hope,
I hope,
but I don't ever plan on telling someone to vote.
I just can't imagine my high school education is the thing that you need to
hear from.
I just don't think that,
you know, I'm the one that's going to hear from. I just don't think that, you know,
I'm the one that's going to be like,
hey, everybody, I know you somehow have a Netflix account and you figured that out, but you can't figure out voting.
Stay in line if they come push you out of the line,
just telling them all these long things.
They're going to stop you.
They're going to, you know, make sure you get out there and vote.
These people are the worst, the worst ally. they're gonna stop you they're gonna you know make sure you get out there and vote it's still
these people are the worst the worst a lie i mean i i think about it all the time i think about how
angry i get i just celebrities telling uh people that are smarter their audience that is smarter
than them their audience is way smarter than them we go go watch your dumb movie, and then you go, hey, how are you doing?
I never thought about that.
Yeah.
You figured out how to go to the movies.
Mm-hmm.
You're, you know.
You went online, you bought a ticket.
I love Jennifer Aniston.
I love her.
But yeah, I mean, going Instagram, going, hey, everybody.
You might not know, but there's an election coming up.
Yeah, I've heard about it. I'm heard i'm watching yeah yeah i've found you you're kind of a popular thing so if i found you i would imagine i
could find out that there's an election going on right and no one's just sitting at home going is
that today is that i mean it's unbelievable right it's unbelievable that's the joke i'm already ruining
that's the idea of it that's like reminding people to eat that's like if you made an announcement
going hey everybody if you eat did you eat food today and they're like what what is food well i'm
a celebrity and i know that you should eat remember to get out there and eat remember to get out there
and eat is your stomach feel weird?
That's because you haven't eaten.
And you got to do it.
Today's the day.
Every day, actually, you need to eat.
It's unreal, dude.
It's the most talk.
You talk down to just every person alive that just sits there.
If you found this podcast i would imagine
you've heard about voting if you found anybody that just is not in your house
like if you're living in a house and your dad goes vote and you're like i didn't know to vote
but i've been locked in the basement for 18 years that person should hear about voting
I've been locked in the basement for 18 years.
That person should hear about voting.
If you know who Brad Pitt is,
I imagine you've heard about voting.
Just the,
just if you flat out are like,
I've seen one of the Avenger movies,
then I'm sure you've stumbled upon something about voting. Yeah.
The idea of an election.
The idea of that we do vote.
Right.
Is that crazy?
No, I'm with you, 100%.
No, you like it, though.
You like that they say it, right?
No.
I don't care one way or the other.
I think it's insulting.
I think it's wild.
I was going to save it all.
I think it's crazy that somebody would not want to vote,
and then Jeremy Renner tells them to.
And they go, oh, okay.
Explain, Jeremy Renner, how do you do it, though?
Oh, well, it is, it's, all right, you ready for this?
You ready for this?
Do you have a driver's license?
They're like, I don't know.
An ID?
You have anything?
You have a wallet?
He's like, I don't know. I carry my an ID? You have anything? You have a wallet? He's like, I don't know.
I carry my stuff in a plastic bag.
Okay, that's fine.
In that plastic bag, do you have a thing with your picture of your face on it by any chance?
Yeah.
Well, go show that.
And then there's buttons.
And you press the button of the person that you want to be president.
Wow.
And you press that button and it
works and that's what's got to happen have you seen those mailboxes you write it in you got to
write it in yeah and then you you write in the person of the of that's running for the boss of
the country they're going to be the boss the boss the country. And so we're all going to go decide,
hey, who gets to be that boss?
And someone at home is like,
I mean, I get a choice?
Yeah.
You get a choice.
None of you went to school.
How are you doing?
I've made millions of dollars
and I'm smarter and more famous than you.
That's what they're saying to everybody.
I did quite well for myself.
I was famous in the 90s, and you're probably stupid.
So get out there and vote.
I hope people don't vote because of it.
That's what I mean.
I could care less.
Vote or don't vote.
Do whatever you want to go do.
You're a grown-up.
You're smarter than every dumb celebrity on earth.
They're all stupid. Go vote guys december 90th hey whatever the date is they go when is it then where ours is
ours is coming after the election yeah that's what i'm talking about we tell you to vote the day i
was it yesterday i didn't dadgum it i took my my Jen Aniston notifications off
and I must have missed it
that's what I think
they think
like it's
it would be like
if you went to a movie
and you watched a movie
with a
like Captain America
and then you only see
stuff that he says
and then he goes
hey do you know
voting's tomorrow
you're like
no I was waiting
for you to tell
I don't
I only listen to you.
Is the weather going to be nice?
Thank God you reminded me.
Yeah.
No, no, no, no, no.
I didn't know that.
I only watch your movies all day long.
And I just follow you.
So it's tomorrow?
Yeah.
Wow.
And I get a say in it?
I get to push a button?
It's going to be hard.
It's hard to figure out.
Right.
Where to go? All right. Sorry. It's going to be hard. It's hard to figure out where to go.
All right.
Sorry.
There's the joke.
I'll tighten it up for the stage.
It makes me, I don't, I didn't know when, like, would that joke work after the election?
I mean, I think.
I don't know.
I think you can make it work whenever. And I think by the time I would ever shoot another special, we'd be back to another election.
So I bet it can always come back around.
And I'm sure I'll have more stuff.
It drives me nuts, dude.
The nerve.
You got one more day of it.
One more day of.
And they're going hard now.
I think your goal is to get famous enough to be like,
I got to tell people to vote and i love
people i love the not famous people doing it the ones that like we have friends that are just you're
like nobody cares no one listens to your art that you do good at much less hey let me talk to dude
they're talking to random states there's people that celebrities in california are going hey georgia come on crazy
can't sell out a bar in georgia hey pennsylvania all my pennsylvania fans
you probably haven't heard about an election
uh that's like being like people just going like i'm tired of fracking i have no idea what fracking
i don't i have no clue and you just hear people going we
can't have it and you're like i don't do we need it maybe we need all of it or maybe we need none
of all right nicholas jones sorry you got to get the brunt of this nicholas nicholas is like i
don't be tied into this uh as someone who gets significant anxiety especially on current events
that's so funny nicholas is mean, just freaking out right now.
He's like, ah, this was my safe.
But the point of this is we're still not talking about anything.
We're making fun of them talking about this stuff,
which I think anybody that hates it would like this.
Yes.
I don't think anybody's going to be like, guys, don't talk about politics.
I'm saying you're right.
No one should.
You should listen to your aunt.
Nicholas Jones.
Someone who gets significant anxiety, especially around current events.
It's awesome to have such a funny podcast to listen to that helps me block out the outside world for a short time.
I literally listen to it every night to help me fall asleep.
I also appreciate you giving a platform to lesser known comics like Aaron and Nick and completely unknown names like Bosco.
I like Nicholas.
Yeah.
I mean, he's not sleeping tonight.
Nicholas, welcome back up, buddy.
I'm sorry.
I have nightmares.
Yeah.
Nicholas is pacing the room.
Betty Boop.
Are we fans of the podcast officially called Folks or Nate Landers?
Please share ideas so Biscotti can get a list going.
Are fans of the...
Oh, they call it Folks or Nate Landers.
I like both of those.
Folks or Nate Landers.
I saw somebody comment Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.

Pretty good.
That's pretty good.
Breakfast Club's good.
Ooh.
Ooh.
We can take a vote.
Warriors? Can we do a vote? Warriors. The Warriors pretty good. Breakfast Club's good. Ooh. We can take a vote. Warriors?
Can we do a vote?
Warriors.
The Warriors are good.
You want to just call the podcast your podcast?
Those are the people submitting the ideas.
I would say we should do a vote.
We could do a vote.
Folks, Nate Landers, we're all equal.
I always feel weird kind of sometimes saying it.
Yeah.
Because you're like, you guys are doing just as good as I'm doing in life.
So remember to vote.
Folks, Nate Landers, we should do a vote.
We should do a vote.
Hey, everybody.
You feel weird?
You get out there and-
That's our election.
That's our election.
It's going, hey, you might not have heard.
How you doing?
Nate Bargetts a year.
What? You feel weird saying what i always feel weird about saying fans you do say fans i just it always just oh i and again i think it's come into the people just going talking to their fans i
think is kind of disgusting i think it's gross to be it's like i'm trying to be an entertainer i hope that i can i want you to be a fan of me i want you to like what i do but i'm not above you i'm just like
here's my thing that i create that's funny that i try to just be your your awayness from all the
nonsense i'm not gonna talk to you like i'm your the lord of you know and that's how people that's
and i think that's what it comes off to me
as, is people going
let me tell my, I gotta, you know
you gotta platform, go tell your fans
to do what you think is right.
Like, I think that's crazy.
I mean, you hope to have a lot of fans, but
but I do see
it, I do like the idea of folks
because we would all be one.
We would be a folk, or a N Nate Landry or part of the Breakfast Club.
We'd be in it too.
Alex Irvin brought my 65-year-old mother to the show in Houston,
and when Baba O'Reilly left the stage, I said, I love breakfast.
And this, of course, raised an immediate question,
which I was happy to answer.
Yesterday, she and I were driving somewhere and talking about the show.
She said, yeah, I like Billy Bob.
I just gave an approving nod with a golf clap.
Very proud.
She gets it.
She gets it.
She gets it.
My mom is 65.
Me and Alex might be the same age.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People would yell that a lot during the shows.
I heard people yell out breakfast.
Yeah.
They're getting into it.
A lot of B stuff.
Yeah. Some stuff we can it. A lot of B stuff. Yeah.
Some stuff we can't say on the podcast.
Lauren C.
To the brave soul who wrote in about his breakup,
I also just got dumped,
and I'll be at Nate's show in Nashville in December.
If you'd like to grab a bite in Nate's favorite restaurant,
the concession stand before.
Just throwing it out there.
Ooh.
Might get a little love match.
Harrison. Harrison Kesey, I think was his was harrison keesey harrison and lauren maybe you guys get together uh be honest
with you there's a great chance that show's not happening in december so maybe have to keep rolling
it forward all my shows are they still it look these places have to open up and that's the
problem so if you have these dates I will reschedule these dates
so you can obviously just hang on to these tickets,
and then they are just whenever it comes back around,
it's just going to be at a later date.
I get asked that a lot.
I have no control over this.
I had some people, some guy did a Netflix special.
He emailed my website or something and said,
yo, Nate, what's up with all the hoops for the special and you're like i mean do you have you worry maybe that guy definitely doesn't know
about voting because you're like i don't know if that guy you're like what are you talking about
and he's like what's the a test like you're like yeah dude it's co i mean the whole world shut down
like you're setting california policy yeah you're like i don't know you're like i yeah, dude, it's cold. I mean, the whole world shut down. Like you're setting California policy.
Yeah.
You're like, I know, man, but I'm just trying to be safe.
And I want to make sure you want it.
How much do you want it?
Jessica Van Depute.
There's a chance I said that right.
No, you don't think so?
I love the way you said it.
Van Depute.
Hello, folks.
I'm a couple episodes behind, but this is in response to Harrison's comment,
shooting my shot on Naylin Harrison.
I'm that single 29-year-old woman ready for some popcorn at the drive-in.
Harrison, you got too much going on.
I mean, Harrison.
You got to slow down now.
I mean, Harrison, I mean, good night.
This podcast has changed his life.
You got Jessica and Lauren. I mean, it's I mean, good night. This podcast has changed his life. He got Jessica and Lauren.
I mean, it's getting out of control.
Harrison, living it up, living his best life.
I mean, he might not, you know, he's got a lot.
He's like, I just got a lot to think about.
He just paused the podcast and just clicked on both of it.
He's now going through the comments trying to find out where were their comments at.
I mean, as they are doing the same, they might have already done it.
Yeah.
So they probably already did it.
And so that's why they're like, wow, Harrison was a good-looking fella.
And so then they-
They already looked him up, you think?
I would bet.
Yeah.
I would bet.
And now Harrison has paused us, and he's typing in.
He's like,
what?
Lauren C and Jessica Van did put Harrison.
I figured he's already right there.
He just goes,
what was their name again?
Lauren C,
Jessica Van did put.
He's on Facebook right now.
He's like,
thanks man.
It's typed in Lauren C.
And he's like,
got a lot of,
a lot of scrolling. A lot of scrolling.
All right.
Coco Hubert.
Love the podcast.
Suggestion for Nate.
If people can't be nice in comments, don't read them.
Completely understand why Aaron would get offended at the comment by someone named White Bread.
This podcast should be fun, not demeaning or insulting.
Thank you, Coco.
We try not to be, we try not to like, you know, a lot of times we
talked about that earlier on. People do, you comment on the mean comments. Those are usually
the ones that are going to, you're going to have a conversation with. But I think we've done,
I mean, you guys have done great with comments and the fact that they're funny and they're
actually, there's something to them. We have a lot of them. Most of them you couldn't,
if they're just, hey, this podcast is great.
No one's going to want to hear us read 15 of those.
But these are legit, long podcasts.
They're actually, people enjoy hearing what they're going to say.
So they've done a very good job.
And I agree.
I agree to the white bread, though.
I don't remember what white bread said, but something.
I remember they had a big, long, nice comment at the very end there,
like, oh, and Brian's not funny or something.
Oh, it was about you or Aaron.
I thought White Bread was the one that called you out
on your ridiculous math skills.
Yeah.
White Bread gets it.
Sorry, Coco.
White Bread is welcome.
White Bread's sitting in this week.
He's our fact checker.
Jeremy Powell, you know how when you kind of look good.
Oh, hold on.
Hold on.
Let's start over.
This is like a trip to the starting line.
You know how when you're kind of good looking and you hang out with ugly people, it makes you more attractive?
The same goes when you're funny and hang out with unfunny people.
It makes you look hilarious.
Somehow Nate assembled a crew that compliments him on both fronts.
Oh, right into the mean comment.
Yeah.
You just agreed with Coco and then.
You picked the comments.
Do you agree?
You like that?
I mean, I think Jeremy gets it.
I wouldn't have read it out loud, but I, you know, I don't know.
Jeremy's inside my brain somehow.
I mean, me and Jeremy could have said that we would sit there he sounds like my agent
that's telling me and i'm like yeah man he goes you're doing sandal yeah later tater nader just
love it how blueberry breakfast always says the county of where the town is in before he says the
town's name that's how older people talk you say you're from this small town and older people just
hit you with the county name like it's a game show question.
That is a very funny.
I love like that.
Wilson County.
You know, there's I went to, you know, Davidson County the other day.
Dixon.
I was in Dixon.
Like Dixon's always been described as Dixon to me in Nashville.
I don't think I've ever really known where it's at either.
I kind of do.
What do you mean?
Where Dixon is in Nashville.
Dixon's a city, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But isn't it Dixon County too?
Yeah.
But it's, I don't ever know where it's at. People always go, I went to Dixon today. And I'm like,
all right. I want to say it's West.
It is.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think I could get there, but it's just, I never went to Dixon a ton.
But Dixon's the most I get told someone's going to Dixon.
And then I always just go, okay.
Almost any town in Tennessee, I could tell you what county it's in.
Memphis?
Shelby?
Knox?
Oh, you know.
Knox.
Because of your local news?
Sure.
Bristol.
What about Bristol?
That's, let's see.son city is up in washington county
bristol maybe hamlin county yeah we hit a new low on this podcast uh just hit it
i mean yikes talking about jumping the shark i mean what i mean good night folks. That was a fun game. I mean, Nicholas Jones just fell back asleep.
He goes, thanks, guys, for naming the counties of cities that I've never heard of.
I appreciate that.
We had about eight old women listening to this that perked up.
Oh, all right.
Finally getting some topical stuff going.
He knows where Dixon is now.
I mean, it's, yeah, that was like, I feel like in Kramer, the Merv Griffin set.
Because what about a co-host?
I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
Candace Dot.
Hello, folks.
Just want to say I learned something new every time listening to you guys.
For instance, this episode urban legends i learned that i shouldn't have listened to this when i was
grocery shopping alone at night i was so paranoid while walking to my car and putting my groceries
away and yes i checked my van for serial killers and had journey ready to play for my drive home
p.s if nate reads this he is bound to say my last name incorrectly it's pronounced dote candace dote
really dote i like maybe she's right well hey candace i'd look into that a little more uh
candace dote i like how she put that at the end see that's what i'm talking about these good
comments they're good they do it and then there's a little surprise at the end jason got when nate
said he thought mr rogers
was too quiet for the military it reminded me that bob ross actually was a drill instructor
and then he decided to be a painter he also decided he would never scream and yell like
that again and just became super mellow i like that i didn't know that well i don't know if
that's true well i wonder if that's true i think it's true i don't know he was a drill instructor
he was so it is true you can see a little bit of it when he washes off his paintbrush
and just a little and he's and he goes just beat the devil out of it and he smacks it really oh
really a little bit in his eyes i think that's where he gets it out he still wants it yeah he
still wants to do it right what if his uh family at home was just horrified with him i mean we just only saw this we're like god i bet super mellow
and then his wife and kids were like i mean it was every day was a war every day we woke up to war
and just he's just yeah all day, and then he's just calm.
Dario Stolik, love the pod, love the whole crew, especially Bookshelf.
I just wanted to give my two cents on Nate saying that no one ever sees a ghost
in full human shape and form.
When I was young, 11 to 12 years old, I woke up early one Saturday morning
and was making my way downstairs into the kitchen as usual to make myself breakfast. But to my surprise, there was a man in the kitchen
wearing a full white suit, looking sharp, almost as if he was going to a wedding or something
formal. I kind of just nodded and smiled at him because I was the shy kid and went downstairs
where I heard my mom cleaning and asked her who the man in the kitchen was. To say the least,
where I heard my mom cleaning and asked her who the man in the kitchen was.
To say the least, she was very confused and in shock as she proceeded to tell me we were home alone
and there was no way someone else was in the house.
So in my case, I did, in fact, see someone just as clear as I see any real person,
and it confirmed it to me.
My mom looked around the house.
Sure enough, no one was there.
Wow.
Dario Stolich.
Dario.
That's pretty good.
That's a pretty good one, man.
Yeah.
That's one.
You're not going to convince that guy out of it.
No.
That guy, he's like, I saw it.
He saw what he saw.
He saw what he saw.
Man in a white suit.
I believe him.
His mom's still like, you know, his mom was like, uh,
it's like someone else.
It was,
uh,
her boyfriend.
I was going to say her mom.
Yeah.
And she goes,
no,
it was a ghost.
And that's how dumb this story shows you how dumb kids are.
Uh,
what if that's what it was?
The mom's like,
I can't believe I got away with that.
Uh,
I mean,
I'm just so lucky.
I go,
what was that man?
What?
That would be the way to play it with a kid.
No one's here.
And then just that guy runs out.
And then they still laugh at it to this day.
Or it was a ghost.
Holly Stone.
It's a good name.
Holly Stone.
I like that name.
Stone's, you know, strong.
That's what I'm going to name Holly give i'm gonna give holly the dog or she's gonna be a stone now to answer the question does one feel or sense their
own baby in the hospital when my second child was born we were sharing a room with someone in their
new baby i briefly grabbed that stranger's baby and did not know the difference for at least a
minute and only realized it due to the name tag i still
cringe about it from time to time i could see that but i mean you just can't know but i i do
i would get the feeling of just it would i would be like that it would just i would think about it
all the time it would never get out of my head and just because you accidentally but you got to
just think of it as funny i think that helps the office that that happened where payment jam
she actually oh yeah she actually breastfed yeah yeah yeah yeah uh yeah i think it's got to look
at it and i think the way to get out of it is like it's you got to tell it as a funny story
and then that's what makes your brain go like yeah it was funny like obviously no one can tell
i mean babies are babies brook hubs i worked in movie theater the popcorn is
popped with a small amount of dried butter combined with oil which gives it the yellow
color and the option to add liquid butter is asked of the customer same for microwave popcorn
that's why you see the butter residue on the inside of the bag if you get unflavored unseasoned
popcorn then yeah it's white so that was you you. You said popcorn was white, right?
Yeah, I said the yellowness was because of butter,
and I got attacked for it.
We got so many comments about this.
It's popcorn.
So many.
And people kind of gave different explanations.
I went with this one because it seemed kind of simple and the most logical.
We talked to an expert.
He worked in a movie theater.
That's the type of a
lot of people wrote in like i have professional experience with popcorn yeah i'll tell you why
it's yellow yeah oh really and the consensus seems to be the oil adds a lot yeah yeah but
a butter will make it more yellow yeah uh chris love the podcast but you're wrong about gang
bangers and flashing headlights being an urban legend.
I grew up in the country in Washington State, and there were lots of drugs in my town growing up.
And the gangs that came into town were doing the headlight drive-bys.
I was once chased and shot at twice, and a buddy I went to school with took three shots, all because we flashed our headlights.
Chris, I'd like to hear more to that story, to be honest, buddy.
I want a little bit more.
I'm sure something... He's like, well, we screamed at him.
You're like, okay.
Yeah.
Washington State, sneaky with the drug problem there.
Like, you don't think about it, but they have some real big problems.
Yeah.
A lot of Bigfoots are on drugs.
Yeah.
That's where they're at.
All right.
That is crazy, though.
I mean, if that's true, I mean, golly,
you imagine that just you truly like don't flash your headlights.
Why would they move to Washington State to do drugs?
You know?
What's up there?
I think they're probably from there.
I don't think they go, I want to get into drugs.
Where should I go?
Oh, a lot of drugs.
Well, I think it's, you know, you don't think people move for drugs?
You don't think people move into a town?
I heard there's good drugs here.
I think small towns across America just have drugs.
A lot of counties.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Justin Barcelos.
I'm pretty sure the swallowing spiders bugs in your sleep is an urban legend
I always believed it
myself but Google
says it's fake
whatever you have
to tell yourself
to sleep at night
yeah you never
what never
five feet from a spider
I think every time
I've said it
the number changed
but yeah
three feet
six feet
there's a spider
on you right now
look behind you Ryan ryan dance i love
how concerned bathtub was about the cardio conditioning of the jasons at the end of the
haunted tours and making sure they got enough time to rest up in between scaring small children
out of their tiny little baby minds truly a kind soul this world doesn't deserve love the podcast
guys uh you know we talked about that about that haunted house tour, too.
We looked that up after we got done.
The one in Nashville, that's the scariest one.
And that guy's just crazy.
Yeah, it doesn't look real fun at all.
It's a torture.
Yeah, after we said that, I was like, if anybody goes to it, let us know.
But no one's ever made it through, but I don't think anybody can.
Yeah.
Because he's giving $100,000 to make it through.
He's not letting you go through.
I mean, he's burying you alive.
You would have to be willing to basically trust that this guy is going to not kill you.
That's what you would have to be.
He's going to push you enough, and you're going to have to go,
well, he can't kill me, but you also have to be fine with him killing you
and truthfully killing you.
Like, not a joke, not fun.
I mean, he's burying people.
And kind of taking a weird pleasure out of it the whole time.
Yeah.
Really a real-life villain.
I'm surprised he's not more level-headed.
You know?
All right, let's do some of these from the big foot then we'll get
started dallas gambriel i like how other podcasts bring in experts we're talking about space today
so our guest is a theoretical physicist physicist yep yeah nate land says we're talking bigfoot so
our guest today is a guy who used to work with my sister.
That's what I'm talking about.
That should be in the log line of the show.
I was just going to say, that sums up the philosophy of the show.
What are you guys doing?
We're talking Bigfoot, so today our guest is a guy who used to work with my sister.
That's who we want to talk to.
Jeff Stapleton. Aaron took both Nate's place as the star of the show and
Briggs' worry face.
Especially on video, Aaron seems to
consistently struggle to contain his reactions
and comments to just about everything
Kevin said. Watching him react
was absolutely my favorite part of the episode.
There was nothing better than when we finally
see him break with Nate's civilian
stations comment. People like
the civilian stations, right? That was a great
moment. Every now and then,
I'll still think about it and I'll still laugh.
It really got me, man.
I did it on purpose as a comedy.
That's what I'm going to stick to.
Well, I did that on purpose because I'm a
comedian, a professional comedian.
When
Nate says civilian stations, I was in the carpool to
pick my kids up from their new school i was supposed to say their names so they could call
them out i could not speak and was ugly crying with no sound coming out the carpool lady was
not amused they will be taking the bus starting monday thanks nate totally worth it oh got them
out of picking up the kids that was garrison at this oh garrison garrison rich them out of picking up the kids. That was Garrison Richard. Oh, Garrison Richard.
Out of the civilian station, which is a school.
Would be a school.
Wouldn't you say?
A civilian station?
I tell, that's what a school is.
Man.
Jason Lohorn.
Sounds like a guy that goes looking for Bigfoot.
If we said we're talking to Jason Lohorn today, he's the expert on Bigfoot,
you would be like, okay.
You go, all right.
He's got some fossils.
Yeah, I'd love to hear Jason.
I think Bigfoot and aliens could be a demonic phenom, right?
Phenomenon.
Oh, phenomenon.
Demonic phenomenon.
That word just kind of keeps on going, don't it?
I mean, it's just, it's like just kind of keeps on going, don't it? Like, I mean, it's just,
it's like you kind of go phenomenon, and then the word goes a little bit more. No, almost there. Oh,
phenomenon, and they go perfect. Where they do have the ability to cloak themselves or move in between dimensions and disappear. As a pastor, I believe this is spiritual activity that the
enemy uses to deceive us, or it's used to attack the biblical account of creation. By the way, Yeah.
They're seeing something.
Wow.
Too many people.
Too many people see it.
I've heard that about aliens.
Yeah.
That they're demons.
Yeah.
I'll just kind of briefly say that.
I like that this is kind of...
Oh, yeah, aliens as opposed to demons too
okay uh cory mp uh just like to just brush off literally just found out there's more than one
bigfoot oh wow cora is what who y'all both believe that right a lot of people said that yeah you
ridiculed us but people backed us up i guess i just don't ever remember my first day of learning.
Y'all remember your first day.
I feel like y'all go, I was eight years old.
It was a Sunday evening, and someone brought a Bigfoot to me.
I just don't remember.
Well, Bigfoot, the foot is singular.
If it were big feet, then I know that were multiple people.
But you're talking about one of a group you know
what would tip that off though i i just don't know that i don't know how i learned about bigfoot i
don't remember so i just always have there's i mean they're all over the country there's bigfoot
sightings all over the country i don't think bigfoot i wouldn't believe in bigfoot if there
was one and all these sightings were all over i wouldn't believe then because he could was he flying everywhere no well i believed in one santa and there's a santa and
every mall in america yeah yeah it could be kids listen this podcast too i still believe
oh man we're gonna bleep that out how does that feel to just ruin everything for everybody
uh you know i mean we're supposed to be a clean podcast,
and then you come out here and just...
Now I feel real bad.
I don't think there's an...
Hey, look, my daughter,
her age ain't making it this far into the comments.
She checked out a while ago, to be honest.
Holly might be gone.
David Campbell.
I've enjoyed every podcast but this one i'm guessing bob cack picked this
top this topic you'd be wrong david it's me i love bigfoot i picked it i think i said i picked
it i feel like anyone listening should be able to tell that yeah i like that stuff uh yeah yeah well
i liked it i thought it's kind of fun talked about a lot of different stuff the point of it is that
that's i can't talk about the same thing every time.
I think we have a better chance of being funny when we talk about crazier stuff.
We got civilian stations out of it.
You ain't getting that when you're talking about voting.
Vote at your civilian station today.
Is that where you would vote?
Jay Durant.
Maybe Kevin Durant's brother?
Possible.
There is a rumor that this might be the best Nate Land episode so far.
Such a great episode.
Especially when Aaron lost it at the end.
Fantastic show, gents.
Much love from Austin.
Nice.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot of comments.
But again, we don't have...
Two weeks worth.
We don't have...
Yes, two weeks worth of comments, and we don't have much...
This topic might not
be good this week
that's correct
yeah
we are
since we are back
at it
you know
we got to get back
in the groove of it
I think we will
you know
I think this is
about a fun one
this is another one
that's
not much
it's about
what is another it's another bigfoot episode
i'm gonna every three weeks we do a bigfoot episode until we eventually get everybody out
and we're down to 80 people that love this podcast i mean like that just you know i saw
i thought i saw somewhere read or maybe redditors they said that we talked about a bigfoot and that
but didn't have an expert.
But someone said they liked it.
They were like, I think it was good.
Because all Bigfoot people, they listen to the same experts over and over.
Oh, yeah.
So I think they just want to hear.
You know, it's like being a Vandy fan.
When ESPN talks about Vandy forever,
I'm going to listen more than the average person.
Yeah.
So Bigfoot doesn't get – we're not saying we're ESPN,
but you don't ever hear.
Right.
Just, you know.
I personally thought Kevin knew enough that I would consider him an expert.
Yeah.
He was just hesitant to use that description for him.
Yeah.
The dog man is what Kevin wants to know about.
So he thinks if there's anybody that knows about this dog man have any
kevin is he's i think he is like we're gonna get some dog man comments yeah and he wants to go down
that that uh trail is that what you would say uh that path he wants to dive into trying to be more of a dog man guy so if you got any dog man stuff
feel free to comment you and kevin we're guys to connect you my sister will connect you guys and
then you guys can uh we'll do a dog man episode we'll do a full dog man episode if you guys find
dog man uh all right so this week we're going to talk about laws. You know, I guess kind of is election time, so we talk about the laws.
How are laws made?
I don't know.
I'm just a bit.
But they're just there.
Yeah, that song, I'm a bill, and they get stuff up.
I learn about the government every day.
I learn something.
I like when they explain.
I do.
I make fun of them for telling people how to vote.
I do like when it gets explained to me real dumb.
I'll be like,
what is this guy?
He thinks we're all idiots.
I record it,
secretly record it
and watch it later alone.
What is it?
You think we're stupid?
Press record.
Our court,
I just,
I want to show people
how dumb it is.
And then I just sit there
and watch the cartoon.
So one of the first laws
we can talk about,
I mean, we're not going to talk
about the basic laws,
but one that I just,
just to get us into it,
is the McDonald's,
the hot coffee lawsuit.
That was the big law thing.
They did a Seinfeld episode about it.
And there's a great documentary
about that,
where you find out
it's actually,
what they did was wrong.
What McDonald's did was wrong.
The coffee was too hot.
It was an elderly lady.
Almost killed her because she just had the burns was so much.
They got in trouble for making coffee too hot.
Did you know all this?
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
So everybody's watched this documentary?
I haven't seen the documentary.
I haven't seen the documentary, no.
Oh.
Uh-uh.
You knew that it was real, though?
I remember.
We talked about it in a class one time.
We pulled up pictures of what the burns on this woman.
Mock trial?
No, it wasn't a mock trial.
This was later.
It was just a different class?
Why didn't they talk about it in mock trial?
Wouldn't that be the main place to talk about it?
I was a business school in college.
It was like a business.
Wait, this was in college? Yeah. I just school in college. It was like a business school.
Wait, this was in college?
Yeah.
I just didn't have college, you know?
Business school.
I mean, dude, we talked about math.
I did math problems, like regular math problems
at Ball State Community College.
I did speech.
Did you have speech in college?
No one took speech?
I didn't have speech, man.
No one? Did you take speech? Yeah. In college? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Did you have speech in college? No one took speech? I didn't have speech, man. No one?
Did you take speech?
Yeah.
In college?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
I talked about Vanderbilt.
I showed the highlight film of Vanderbilt's 95, 96 season,
where we went five and six, or 96, 97 season, I guess.
We went five and six.
I think it was just the 96 season.
Yeah.
We didn't go to any bowls.
We lost LSU. It was the. Yeah. We lost LSU.
It was the one where we barely lost LSU.
That started it down.
And I got an A-plus on it.
That's the only A-plus I got was in that speech class.
Because they could sense your passion.
They could see that I loved it.
Yeah.
I remember not.
I mean, I say this in my act.
I don't remember school.
I would not.
You know.
So you learned stuff in school. Well, I just remember that I had heard that McDonald. I would not. You know, so you learn stuff in school.
Well, I just remember that I had heard that McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit.
I had heard that always used as an example of frivolous lawsuits.
Yeah.
Of like, can you believe how crazy these people are trying to get money from McDonald's?
Yeah.
And then it's crazy that if you actually look at what happened, this woman was wronged by them.
Yeah.
They got in trouble for making that coffee too hot.
They were doing it over and over again
and had a lot of complaints about it.
And they kept doing it.
And in the top two,
I mean, Seinfeld episode is exactly it.
It's not that hot.
And the woman was very elderly
and it burned her and almost killed her.
It was that severe of burns.
I always found that very interesting that, yeah it was that severe of burns i always found
that very interesting that yeah that's one of those cases that you end up going like no no no
yeah because it is it sounds like a crazy one and then you're like no i remember growing up and you
see the label on the coffee cups and you're like can you believe this is so crazy that we have to
write this yeah coffee's hot well i mean that woman her life changed her life
changed yeah i think most people probably still think if they know that story they think can you
remember that ridiculous lawsuit where someone sued over hot coffee yeah yeah i'd be curious
to see how many people if you're listening and you can leave just how many people think still
don't know that it was very serious and that it
was actually the woman was wrong you know it'd be like that duke lacrosse like that's always brought
up as the the duke lacrosse case is always something that's you always think oh that was
the duke kids that you know did all the stuff and they were wrong and then it turns out they weren't
people don't remember the ending of the story yeah yeah follow-up yeah and they don't remember that that lady yeah so this was a 79 year old this is why
iced coffee got made because of this lawsuit you know that is that true yeah okay you can't look i
know nick is gone you can't start doing it to me i thought uh i was like i was like i wish nick was
here because that's actually kind of probably timing wise works out to be like,
and that's why they started making ice coffee.
That's how that made enough sense for me.
I bet if he watches, he'll still fall for it.
The coffee.
He's not watching the idea that you think he's watching.
I promise you he's not watching.
But the idea that it would work out that that's how the coffee people respond to it.
They go, yeah.
Well, do you want it cold then?
Because that's what we're doing.
And then they just send them cold coffee.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It makes sense.
It makes sense.
Could be the reason.
Yeah.
Maybe right.
What's speed limit laws?
Well, I just want to talk about like, i mean i was thinking what laws have i broken
in my life and besides a few traffic laws like speeding that's it yeah i don't know if i've
ever stole something yeah and have you you feel when i was a kid when i was a kid i remember this
one of my first memories yeah was i was went to the store with my mom, and I stole a Bubblicious.
Yeah.
And I just put it in my pocket.
I remember I brought it home, and I wrote my name on it with a Sharpie.
I said, Aaron.
And I was carrying it around in my pocket.
I didn't even want to.
It was just the thrill of taking it.
I didn't even want to chew it.
I just kept it in my pocket.
And then it fell
out of my pocket and my mom was like who got you that and i was like oh my uncle bought it for me
i was like lying now you're doubling down oh yeah i lied so she's like let's call call him up so
she called my uncle he's like i haven't seen him in years you know yeah this is wow the story doesn't
even check out so so my dad was like i remember my dad took me back to the store, and I had to return it to the cashier.
And it's probably a cute moment as an adult for a little kid to come back.
Yeah.
How old were you?
16?
No, four or five maybe, maybe four or five or six.
Why did your uncle say, I haven't seen you in years?
I was just joking.
He was like, no, I haven't been around.
We haven't been hanging out.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I would hope that that's what your uncle's response would be.
Yeah?
Hey, did Aaron do this?
He's six years old.
I haven't seen him in years.
I was thinking, why would your mom have to call him if that's the case?
Did your mom not know that you could have been with your uncle at some point?
I just remember saying that somebody got it for me who it didn't make sense at all that this person would have given me
yeah yeah uh the thrill of i feel like you would be the one that steals something out of this
podcast i haven't stolen i don't steal anything else that was just that i got it out early you
know i stole a 59 cent bubblic issues pack and you saw how quickly your life
spiraled i said i don't want i don't want to become this guy yeah yeah i don't want to become
do you speak now to groups i would love to go around and share my story your testimony let
them know don't let this happen i haven't seen him i haven't seen him in years i looked the devil in
the eyes dude after that and i said not today not Not today. I don't think I've stole anything either.
I've driven back.
Like if I ever took something that I paid for that I didn't pay for,
just how some reason it got in your bag and maybe it wasn't swiped or something.
And I've driven all the way back and I go back in and I'll pay for it.
I'll say, I didn't pay for this.
Wow.
That's how much I didn't want to steal.
And that's almost, they look at you going, just take it home, man.
This is more of a nightmare.
You're more of a problem.
And I'm waiting in line going, I forgot I didn't pay for this.
And they're like, you were home?
Yeah.
I mean, this is Kroger.
It's a full gross.
If you're doing this, I'd imagine you're never stealing.
So one just happened to life worked out and you got through.
I turned in, when I worked at Opryland Theme Park,
I found $20 on the ground and turned it into Lost and Found.
Really?
Yeah, that's the one I always think about.
I should have kept that $20.
Because it turns out no one could really identify
but in my head I think someone's going to show up
and go I lost $20
and then they're going to go well we have $20
but I bet
that was the same part where people told me
their name was John and Jane Doe
so there was a lot of
stuff going on there's no way
I mean I
whoever you turned it into kept that i mean i would
love to talk to that guy that because that guy would be like no i'm a good person that guy's
probably a good person and he's like but you're stupid and you handed me twenty dollars thinking
i'm gonna make an announcement twenty dollar bill yeah like i'm gonna make an announcement
over the park hey everybody uh didn't Did anybody lose a $20 bill?
Untraceable.
No way to identify it.
Who lost a $20 bill?
And I think everybody's going, well, I didn't, so I'm not going to.
Like there wouldn't be just a rush.
I know it's only $20, but I think there'd be a rush.
If you saw one now, would you just leave it?
I would keep it.
Maybe I would leave it. Oh, you just said you'd keep it. Well, I'm? I would keep it. Maybe I would leave it.
Oh, you just said you'd keep it.
Well, I'm saying I would keep it, but I would probably,
I've seen money on the ground.
I mean, if there's no one around, you're going to grab it.
And then, but you may be leaving the ground.
I always just think, you know, someone else finds it that needs it.
And then, you know, that's all I hope.
So I try to, I walk around and go, do you need $20?
Hi, I'm comedian Nate Bargetze, and you look poor and stupid.
Do you need, I found this money that you use to buy food for your tummy.
Do you need it?
That's what I go do.
People find it insulting.
You tell them to vote after that.
I tell them, I go, hi, it insulting you tell them to vote after that I tell them I go hi
I'm comedian
neighbor I get seen
but have you
broke any traffic laws
yeah yeah
I've done speeding
I got caught near my house
they get
they sit
it's a perfect
is Holly under me
no
is she in the room
it's not me either.
That's Aaron's foot.
It's truly not me.
Sorry.
Holly just sits behind you sometimes when we got these.
I've rolled back on her.
Yeah.
I killed a dog once, actually.
But I don't think that's against the law.
Yeah, there's a hill down here.
You come down it, and I think the cop could sit there and get everybody.
Because it's almost, I look at it every time now.
He pulled me over, and I got a ticket, and I look at it every time.
I wish they would, if you get a speeding ticket,
they should just, you should be able to pay it right there.
Wouldn't that help just to go to a hundred dollars and you're like,
okay.
They had like a card swiper just with them.
Yeah.
Let me just,
boom.
Yeah.
Why not just go,
how's there not more.
Or an app.
Yeah.
Just to go like,
let me just pay it real fast.
It's like almost like that's what you're,
you're,
it's almost like if you get caught,
you're not as mad.
Right.
If you go,
if I can just get this
over with i can just venmo the city real quick yeah yeah yeah venmo this hunter you know how
much money they would get yeah they should do that it's probably bad though yeah people would
probably be against that yeah because then they would take advantage of it because they're going
to show you what if a cop i wonder has there ever been cops caught where you just go uh just give me
100 bucks like i always did like if you said here's 100 bucks the cop i'm sure that goes
oh yeah i mean dude he can make 500 bucks a day i think a lot of people want to go to traffic court
to keep it off the record i uh i've been in traffic court i remember going when i was like
you know 17 or something like that we used to to have where a house that we lived in,
a cop would sit at the top of this four-way stop,
and he'd be all the way up the hill in our neighborhood.
So I grew up in Old Hickory, which is Lakewood,
and they had their own police department.
It was Davidson County,
but we had our own police department outside of Davidson County.
So Lakewood was just a tiny area with their own police department, and it was ticket city.
Everybody knew right when you were on Old Rick Boulevard, right when you passed, there's a golf course, Hermitage Golf Course.
Right when you hit that Hermitage Golf Course until you got to Madison or the bridge, it was like just obey obey the laws. Cause it was only police.
Talking about that stretch,
right?
When he crossed the main bridge and the liquor.
Yeah.
I year,
like a couple of years ago,
it's still known as that.
Yeah.
It's just,
well,
I think now it's just Davidson County.
Yeah.
Now they stopped it,
but it was,
it was,
it was such a small area that had all these cops that had their own police
department.
And so they were just on it.
I mean, so you couldn't speed because they're like,
they're not covering a whole city.
They're covering just this tiny part.
And they would always get tickets.
I remember my brother got a ticket one time,
and I pulled up to make sure because he was just 16 or 17.
And so I'd been like 19.
And I pulled up the cop, and I remember the cop was like,
yelled at me I had to go on because you can't just pull cop and I remember the cop was like, yelled at me. I had to go on.
Cause you can't just pull up on a cop and then be like, that's my brother.
Uh, he's, you know, he's just probably nervous about it.
And the cop's like, yeah, I'm pretty nervous too about what's going on.
And you're like, that makes sense.
Uh, and then I drove off and he got a ticket.
Uh, but yeah, I remember.
Yeah.
I've broken those kinds of laws.
Like I'm trying to, I don't know.
What's the fastest you ever remember going? I remember I've. I've broken those kind of laws. Like, I'm trying to, I don't know. What's the fastest you ever remember going?
I remember I've driven over 100.
I hit 100 once, too.
I had my 300ZX just to do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I did it on 24.
It feels good, man.
You can get there quicker than you think.
Right.
I mean, it doesn't, it's not like this, you jerk back and you,
I mean,
I've definitely been driving
and you're like,
I'm going 90.
Yeah,
you just look down.
You just look down.
Whoa.
Sometimes you see the whole,
the whole,
you know,
my wife would be like,
slow down.
You know,
I'm like,
everybody's going,
you know,
I'm going to have to pull over.
You know,
the left lane is,
that's something I heard people talk about.
The left lane is straight up just for passing.
A lot of people don't
understand the relationship between the left
and the right lane. I've realized that.
Every other lane you can be in,
left lane should always be empty.
It's just there
to pass, then you get back over.
And never pass on the right.
That's how it happened
yeah although a lot of people do if the slow person's in the left lane i mean i guess you
have to at some point it's a free-for-all so uh 1901 connecticut was the first state in the united
states to impose a numerical speed limit for motor vehicles setting the maximum legal speed at 12 miles per hour in cities and 15 on
rural roads.
Speed limits then started propagating across the United States.
And by 1930,
all but 12 states had speed limits.
So some didn't even have any,
but how fast could a car go back?
I was going to say 1901.
I mean,
what were those cars?
20?
Not very fast,
but they got fast pretty quickly. By 1930, they could go pretty fast. Yeah. in 1901, I mean, what were those cars? 20. Those model teams. Not very fast, but they got fast pretty quickly.
By 1930, they could go pretty fast.
Yeah, that's when, I mean, they started racing moonshine.
Yeah.
Like NASCAR.
Nevada and Montana had no speed limit until Congress clamped down with a national speed
limit in 1974 of 55 miles per hour because of the gasoline shortage.
Wow.
So in 1973, you could go to Montana and do whatever you want.
Even better, they found a way around it.
So they just said they made the penalty $5.
Some drivers just kept a wad of $5 bills in their glove compartment.
So if they were pulled over, they would be ready to pay the fine on the spot.
That was in Montana. In Nevada, the penalty the penalty was 15 so you could pay the cop then
yeah apparently you could just give them five bucks i like that system yeah i mean there's
no way they're all the turning that that in i mean you're gonna cops are let's eat some lunch
and then you go get and they've earned they've earned yeah you know i pull over three guys and
go what do you want to do here and he goes here's five dollars and you go about your day yeah how fast do you
think you would drive if there were no speed limit i'm trying to think i mean i don't know
if i want to go around at 100 miles an hour i wouldn't want to go around at 100 uh i would
definitely go faster than i'd probably at least be in between 80 and 90 on the interstate yeah
and all that stuff changes.
The older you get, it is, the slower you kind of go.
You just end up going.
I don't – some of it could be just to straight up –
I don't feel like turning, like all these curves.
Yeah.
It's just not fun.
We just rented a car in L.A. that when you turn, I got to drive a Mercedes there.
And so when you turn the wheel, the seat holds you, holds your body.
So wherever you would be turning, so if you turn right or you turn left and you would have to bend that way or kind of pushes your body that way.
In LA, there's a lot of curvy streets, and you would do it,
and it just holds you.
Wow.
So you never move.
That's pretty cool.
And it made it easier.
It's something that you don't really think,
but you ever sometimes you can when you drive feel like tired.
You're like, I don't feel like going down this curvy road.
It's just like you feel like it's like, you know,
I don't know if your brain's tired, you're tired, and you don't want to turn the wheel of your car.
Seems real lazy.
But I think everybody feels that.
If you got other people in your car too, then you got to worry about their comfort.
And then you got to be, if it's just me, I don't mind.
You don't ever feel tired?
You don't ever get?
I mean, I drove six hours today.
Really?
Yeah.
From where?
Ohio, Columbus.
Oh, so you just woke up and...
I got pretty tired a couple...
Some stretches on that drive.
What time did you leave?
5, 5.30 or 6.
So you watched six episodes of The West Wing?
Yeah.
Did you watch West Wing?
No.
You did, didn't you?
No, I didn't.
Not today.
What did you do?
Listen to... Listen to some podcasts.'t. Not today. What did you do? Listen to –
Listen to some podcasts.
Yeah.
Some songs.
Called some people.
Yeah.
They – yeah, you don't ever feel tired.
Like I feel tired from driving.
Sometimes you just – it seems like a lot.
Like you could go out of my house to go to –
if I want to go to the golf course, there's two ways.
I can go one way that's more traffic but just kind of straight,
and the other way is a little curvy.
And sometimes I'm like, I just don't.
It seems like it's just a lot to go, the curviness.
Maybe I'm the only one, you know?
No, I get it.
No, I get it.
I get it.
You break the law every time you.
Did you say you get it? Yeah. To your own tape? I get it. No, I get it. I get it. You break the law every time you... Did you say you get it?
Yeah.
To your own tape?
I get it, Nate.
When you watch shows.
I don't think what I'm doing is against the law.
I'm positive it is.
What law would it be?
You can't look at your phone when you drive.
I'm not looking at my phone.
I'll peek at it every now and then when I got...
Well, there you go.
There you go.
You're listening. So you think it's like a radio? I don't have my phone on the steering wheel, and I'm looking at it. It and then when I got... Well, there you go. There you go. You're listening.
So you think it's like a radio.
I don't have my phone on the steering wheel,
and I'm like looking at it.
It'd be better if you did.
At least you'd be looking in the same direction
that you're driving.
You're like, I do the right thing.
I put it on the floorboard.
You know, the new iOS has picture in picture now
with a lot of apps.
So if I'm on Netflix,
and then I exit out of it and go to Maps,
the video will pop up.
You can just put it right there over the Maps.
That's breaking the law every time, though.
I don't think it is.
Yeah.
So you break it for hours and hours.
It's Apple.
Apple's breaking the law.
Yeah.
Hours and hours and hours.
That's how, I mean, just the amount of time.
It's not once.
It's six, seven hours.
I mean, how many hours do you think you broke the law if that's against the law? If that's against the law, we're talking a lot of hours. I mean, a ton of time. It's not once. It's six, seven hours. I mean, how many hours do you think you broke the law if that's against the law?
If that's against the law, we're talking a lot of hours.
I mean, a ton of hours.
Wow.
Yeah.
Just 20 hours straight.
I don't think I'm being dangerous at all.
Driving and watching the phone?
Because I'm just listening to it.
Yeah.
But every now and then you want to just look at it.
Yeah.
You know?
And then you look a little longer than you expected.
You look up and you drifted over.
You're like, hey.
That doesn't happen.
Sorry, I'm watching West Wing.
I'm good at it.
I'm good at it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The highest posted speed limit in the country is 85 miles per hour.
Where's that?
It is in State Highway 130 in Texas.
Ooh.
Keep going on that.
I would never understand when they're real quick.
Some of them go, you ever see some speed limits and they'll be like 30,
now 45, but back to 30.
You can never even get up to.
Those are speed traps, right?
Yeah.
Is that what they are?
I feel like that's what they're for.
Yeah.
Yeah. I just feel like some areas what they're for yeah yeah i just feel
like some areas are more curvy or more populated so they have to but why would you not but some of
it is not you can see the signs it's you know it's 30 and 45 and it's back to 30 and it's you
can almost see all three like it's just why would you ever even put the 45 in the middle yeah what's the
system what's the fastest oh what's the one that the place where there's no speed limit and where's
oh the audubon yeah in germany yeah yeah yeah so i was reading where you get some serious trouble
there if you run out of gas like aaron's got a joke about that but like here you call triple a or whatever there you get
like heavy find um because you'll disrupt all the traffic yeah and they just think it's ridiculous
so they're not as nice about it like it's crazy it's you're stupid yeah i mean you are stupid
when you run out of gas i think so i get it yeah are there a lot of wrecks on the autobahn i don't think so
that's interesting everybody's moving i mean i guess if you don't want to go fast you can go in
the far lane right i guess yeah yeah there are lanes on it though i mean i guess i don't know
i just assume i'm just picturing every time you see like an intersection in another country it
just looks like chaos i think it's just like a long stretch of highway i feel like that's the
india or something like that where they it's just that circle and it's just people i'm thinking i'm
thinking of india it looks like yeah million cars going through a market yeah just man it's a
roundabout that's just i mean how does it how do not everybody dead yeah and then people just sit
and they're like now like i mean that's that's where people should learn how to drive, though.
Because that's how you go.
I mean, people go.
You got to go.
It's almost like, see NASCAR.
They drive up on their bumpers because they know the guy's not going to stop
to let, you know, a dove fly by.
That's what would fly by.
I don't know.
I couldn't think of anything.
So I went with that.
But it seemed like the speed limit allows kind of went into effect because of fuel shortage more than even danger.
Like to conserve energy.
I guess there's a certain speed you get and it's burning too much oil, too much fuel.
Oh, so that's why they even had them.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Yeah.
And probably the accelerating and all the accelerating burns gas too, right?
Yeah.
The first national speed limit was 55 miles an hour,
and that was because of the gasoline shortage.
That's how they control you.
Why was there a shortage?
How does that work?
Well, that's a whole other show.
It's a whole other, yeah.
It's because no one voted.
What's seatbelt laws i never understand that like if you don't want to wear your seatbelt i think you should then don't wear it you know i don't what's
the logic behind making people wear a seatbelt it yeah i mean i don't know this but i think it's
just are you feel the same way like helmets and stuff on motorcycles and things like that and i think it's just because it uh taxpayers have to pay if this person gets injured or hurt
we have to pay for medical bills or yeah but if you don't but if they don't wear a c belt
and get hurt you're still paying for their medical bills right it's not like it's uh
being like well we put a law and they didn't follow the law so we don't have to pay for that guy's bills so you feel the same way about speed limit shouldn't be a speed limit
i could see a speed limit that's just too much inconsistency because there's too many cars
going yeah in and out so you can't be like some guy wants to go 150 and then an old lady wants
to go 20 well that can't be together on the same road.
That's going to be a problem.
So you've got to at least have somewhere to meet in the middle.
But making you wear your seatbelt is, I don't know how that's,
if I don't want to wear it, then.
I mean, I wear a seatbelt.
I like a seatbelt.
I've always been a seatbelt person.
I think most people are.
But if some guy's like, I don't want to, then don't wear a seatbelt.
I grew up, I mean, I can remember when seatbelt law came into effect.
I mean, it's like.
I mean, it was in the 80s.
Yeah.
You should be able to remember it.
And did people.
People did not like it.
Yeah.
And there was always stories about like, well, I knew a guy who was killed in a wreck because he was wearing a seatbelt and couldn't get out.
Yeah, I've heard that.
There's going to be stories both ways.
Right.
And I always think, no, I remember, I don't know if we ever talked about this.
I do remember a time where if you put your seatbelt on and your friend was driving, it was offensive to him.
So I remember you got in my buddy's car and you put your seatbelt on.
He'd be like, come on, dude.
Are you being serious right now?
You think I'm that bad of a driver?
And you would go, all right, I'm sorry.
And you would undo it because you were embarrassed.
You were embarrassed to have it on because it was insulting to him that you would
put a seatbelt on. And I would never, if I got in a, I don't remember getting in cabs. I mean,
New York, you don't, I mean, now you can, you put a seatbelt on. But I mean, I remember really,
that's, that's one, that's my first, I don't remember necessarily the seatbelt law, I guess,
but I just remember getting into people's cars and they would be, I mean,
if you said, I'm going to put my seatbelt on.
And I used to think, how could I,
what can I say
to get a seatbelt on
without the person getting upset about it?
And I would try to think of ways
that I could cool,
say, well, let me just put it on.
I was just trying to find a way
so the guy doesn't make fun of me. He's like,
alright, that makes sense.
If you're like, why not? I'm just going to see how this one works.
Yeah.
You're just really comfortable. I love seatbelts.
Seatbelts are fun. You look comfortable.
Or I would try to make it click where he couldn't hear it.
Yeah.
Especially if you were in the back, I could just put it on
and how can I do it?
Can I hold the button down and put it in
then slowly let it up
and then he doesn't hear it
so the guy
doesn't get mad
I mean they used to get mad
do you remember them
getting mad
people get mad
yeah there's just
it wasn't
a cool thing
it was a direct
reaction to their
driving skills
yeah
was by going
I'm gonna put my seatbelt on
was it just the chaos
that was the way
that you would do it
you'd say
what's the other people I'm worried about yeah yeah you're a great driver that was a
good one that you could do and he goes but i can avoid it that's like what my parents said i mean
when they wouldn't let me do stuff they go look we trust you yeah we don't trust these other people
out here being out past midnight my parents used to say that nothing good happens at midnight and
when you get older you realize nothing nothing good happens past midnight it truly doesn't nothing it's all trouble i say 3 a.m that's my cutoff well three
yeah i guess 3 a.m would be yeah midnight is not that's true a lot of stuff happens at midnight
never mind i just uh skipped ahead three hours yeah did you do you find it weird that school buses don't have seatbelts?
Maybe.
I don't know.
Do you know what you know about it?
Well, I mean, I've always thought it was kind of.
My thinking is the bus is so big.
That's what you're saying, Jacob?
Do you feel?
Well, he said that. Yeah, I think it's real weird.
Yeah, because you're stupid, Aaron.
That's what I'm saying.
It's not like he was trying to trap me.
Because I looked at you when I asked the question.
You were like, yeah, what do you think about it?
I mean, I think the bus is so big that they probably crunched the numbers yeah and uh it said that
there's there's not really a big risk of kids dying in a bus i think they're having some buses
we talked about our the tour bus we're trying to get a newer tour bus and if we get a newer
but they're gonna have to have seat belts so the but new tour buses are gonna have to have
they have beds in them.
You have to buckle up in the bed.
Not buckle up in the bed, but in the chairs, the couch,
and the stuff that they're going to have.
The driver buckle up too.
Yeah, like everybody.
I mean, it's going to be just a straight up.
I've seen he already buckles.
Does he not buckle?
He probably does.
But I would bet that they're going to have to figure a way.
No one's going to one's gonna do that
i've always thought it was weird that school buses didn't have seat belts i looked it up eight states
do require it and but the reason partially is what you said they feel like the buses are so safe
usually when you hear about a school bus wreck it's the other car that's getting the brunt of it
some people say or some argument was the kids would use the seatbelts as weapons on each other.
Oh, wow.
Some said if one's wearing one
and another is not
and there's a wreck,
it'll injure...
Then differently?
Differently, yeah.
One kid goes fine,
one's safe.
Let them all fly.
Yeah.
It probably gives the bus
a capacity, too.
Yeah.
You know,
now they can just cram
as many kids as they want
on there.
I don't know if there's
a legal limit, but... So the seatbelts, they'd be like, we can't get as many kids as they want on there. Yeah. I don't know if there's a legal limit, but.
So the seatbelts, they'd be like, we can't get as many. Yeah, we only have a certain number of seatbelts on there.
But if there's no seatbelts, it's like, dude, put three in a row.
I think there's only two.
Four across, dude.
Yeah, I don't know if they're doing that.
Well, not with COVID, but.
Yeah.
I think even before COVID.
I don't think they're just jamming.
Yeah.
It's like, again, you're thinking about the subway in Japan.
You saw that video, and you think that's how we take kids to schools,
where they're just pushing the back into people.
That's what you think kids are.
I don't know what's going on, man.
Over in Shelby County, we got a bus problem.
Not too many buses and too many kids.
Memphis.
He knows the counties.
Daylight savings just happened. Yeah, so I found that interesting. and too many kids. Memphis. He knows the counties, man.
Daylight savings was just happened.
Yeah, so
I found that interesting.
Do you guys know
the history of daylight savings?
No.
I don't know how much
I care either.
All right, you want to move on?
Possibly.
I'll let you know.
Start it and I'll let you know.
During World War I
in an effort to conserve fuel
Germany began observing
daylight savings
and then the rest of Europe
soon followed
the plan was
I mean
let me stop
I don't know
tried it in the US
what's like the quickest way
the idea was unpopular
especially with farmers
so farmers didn't like it
correct
we always think it's for farmers.
Yeah.
They had less time in the morning to get their milk
and harvesting crops to the market.
Yeah.
Could this go either way?
Is that good?
That's enough.
I mean, is there something else that's crazy?
Well, that some states don't observe it.
I mean, you're the one who brought it up.
I know, but I don't know if I cared. So't observe it. I mean, you're the one that brought it up. I know, but I was, I don't know if I cared.
So Germany started it.
Some states still don't observe it.
I'd rather just talk about it like that.
So Germany started it.
Wish I could get this hour back, to be honest.
So it's not for farmers.
I know Indianapolis does, I don't know if indiana the whole
state does it or indianapolis does it indiana um from 1970 until 2006 most of indiana was in the
eastern time zone and did not observe daylight savings time but the entire state started to do
so in april 2006 after eight counties in western ind Indiana were shifted from the central time zone to the eastern time zone.
I think it's ridiculous that we do it.
I don't...
Do you know what daylight savings time is?
It's just the hour going forward.
I thought it was for farmers or something.
So I thought it was for farmers.
You don't like daylight savings.
I don't.
I mean, it's getting dark at 4.50.
So that's not daylight savings.
That's not?
No.
What is that?
That's standard time.
Daylight savings is when you get darker later in the evening.
Yeah, so shouldn't we just stay on Eastern time, kind of?
Where we would kind of be, well, we lose an hour.
We should always just stay spring forward.
Yeah.
And stay there.
Yeah, some people think that.
Yes.
So that's not daylight savings times.
So this one, this one. We just left daylight that. Yes. So that's not daylight savings times. So this one...
We just left daylight savings.
Yes.
We just left daylight savings
because we were saving the daylight.
Right?
Mm-hmm.
And then so now we're not saving daylight.
Yeah.
And I still don't know why.
I know you explained it,
but you lost me in World War I in Germany
I kind of bailed
you didn't give much of a chance
it seemed like a long way to go
what would be your quickest way to say
why we have it
because somebody did it and we just started doing it
see so there's no reason
that's a good
that's why right
yeah it was to uh conserve
fuel like the speed limits we do the same thing with the speed limits during world war one in
an effort to conserve fuel germany began observing daylight savings time that doesn't even make sense
why what what is the what is the fuel they had different fuel things back then so they had to
why didn't they do the speed limit of the autobahn then right is it auto autobahn
that's like a transformer but it's why didn't they do the speed limit they go no we're not
doing speed limit just make an hour lose an hour or whatever and then they go that doesn't make
way more complicated than just add a speed limit yeah it's a little scientist got a little too rich as for his brian you know
i don't feel i feel sorry for people that live right on the edge of a time zone i always think
about this that just every day you have to think about which time zone you're in oh yeah if you go
to work you're in this time zone.
Knoxville is like that.
There's probably a county he knows about.
Yeah, I do.
Rome County.
Rome County?
Yeah.
They live right in between both.
And so then what do they do?
It must be a nightmare.
What do those people do?
Nine o'clock.
Pacific.
I would be the guy that always gives Pacific time just to throw everybody off.
You would probably just say 9 Eastern.
You just have to always say Eastern.
You always have to specify.
If you're someone that's kind of going back and forth,
everything's Eastern.
You just got to pick, we're doing Eastern.
That's what we're doing.
When you talk to me, we do Eastern.
I get it when I have to plan stuff
because I have to plan New York and L.A. stuff because i have to plan new york and la stuff and so i have to mainly all la stuff it's there i usually get
there are times so they're they're say i might watch i have la time just so i can always kind
of quickly look at it so when they my managers and they're like we got a meeting or you got this at
2 p.m pacific you know i try to just kind of keep it pacific just
it's easier they understand it and then it's like pacific let's do pacific time you got to
just pick a time yeah that's what it is wow so why do they do daylight savings time i still don't
know uh all right this is driver license, is that just as boring? Maybe.
Let me pull that up.
Yeah, let's see what.
It ended up being more interesting than we gave it credit for.
I mean, I like the idea of getting to see if it's going to be fun or not.
Do you think 16 is too young to get a driver's license?
Probably now.
That's been a lot.
I mean, I have a joke about that.
It made sense 100 years ago because people – 16, you were an adult.
Yeah, you're middle-aged.
Yeah.
Back then, you were going to war.
But now, it just –
It's crazy to me that 16 –
Everything should probably just be 18, right?
At the earliest, yeah.
Make everything 18. Tobacco, alcohol, The earliest, yeah. Make everything 18.
Tobacco, alcohol, everything's just 18.
Everything's 18.
I mean, that makes sense.
Military.
Does it?
Military.
I think it makes sense for it all to be consistent.
Why does it not?
Well, I don't know.
I mean, I think some things are different.
So what do you want it to be?
For a driver's license?
Yeah. I would say at least 18
i feel like you should at least be an adult before you can drive a movie so giant everything
should be 18 but no alcohol i don't think that what should alcohol be 21 yeah you like it at 21
yeah i just feel like he you're like yeah just make everything yeah 18 i think make everything
if you can go fight i always like that if you go fight for your country and die in a war yeah why can't you have a
beer at 18 i mean maybe you say only military people can drink at 18 maybe that's the case
yeah ooh yeah drive up some people joining those numbers will go up those numbers go up real quick
uh in 1903 massachusetts and
missouri became the first state's required driver's license although it wasn't necessary
to pass a test to obtain one um you just went in and got one yeah like a library card you just
just said hey can i get a driver's license oh yeah yeah and then i can't find it right now but
it basically said that in the past to learn to
drive a car you just learn from the salesperson like you go in buy it and then they'd show you
how to drive it yeah wow that's kind of fun yeah that's fun i was like that i bet they just go you
get it right you know the guy wants to sell a car you know when people when they were first introducing cars to people uh people used to say instead of the braking when they're going too fast they'd say
whoa because they were used to riding on a horse it's just like a brand new thing sound like my
grandfather told me some dumb we're like all right man like that's honestly this is a story that just
felt like you know you're
just like oh god how long do we got it you're just waiting for your parents to go all right let's go
and you're like thank god this old man keeps huh you don't think that's interesting it just felt
like that story i'm not saying it's not interesting it just felt like a story that i mean it didn't
feel good coming out so i get it what's that i think
that's interesting i appreciate it man well the guy the hundred year old man in the room likes it
yeah people were saying whoa yeah because they're so used to riding horses so let's dive into a
more keep going into it yeah let's break it down more you didn't get it by the example that he gave
well i wasn't listening that was one sentence that you go yeah i got it that's a pretty cool fact that is a cool fact man whoa everybody do that when they break now whoa they
would try to buck it yeah okay no i think that's i do think it's a cool i'm just saying the way it
was said the timing of when it was said yeah it felt that's true very much like your grandfather and
you go yeah that's crazy and we got to just keep going along and we go we've heard this multiple
times i'm not saying i've even heard that okay but the way it was delivered i get it it's uh
you know i mean this is an episode of boring so trying to liven it up. Let's go to
whatever. Daylight Sandwich.
Let's do Daylight Sandwich one more time.
We'll make that fun.
There it goes.
Let's see.
Which one?
Let's do Japan's.
All right.
In January 2008, Japan
passed the Metabo Law,
named after the metabolic syndrome, to reach its goals of shrinking the overweight population.
The government imposed financial penalties on companies and local governments that failed to meet specific targets.
With the new law, for example, a company that makes a product had to measure...
I'm zoned out.
So, I don't, you know know it's the overweight law yeah so they're
saying if you're fat it's against the law is that it yeah pay a fine or taxes or yeah well can i
keep going oh yeah i don't know is it what would just describe it i think just describe real quick
that uh like your fact you just did your fact, you just did the,
what,
when did you just do the driver,
the sales driver?
And when it was very fun.
Yeah.
Uh,
Aaron brought it down with his woe story.
So like,
let's do this.
Let's do it that same way.
Again,
companies could incur pills.
How much would Aaron have to pay to live in Japan?
That's what we really,
that's what we're getting at.
Can he even visit Japan?
Or does he have to,
does it cost a little more?
He would have to.
I can't afford it.
And I'm like,
well,
it's not that much.
You go,
well,
well,
it's a little more.
Sumo wrestler.
Whoa.
Do they have to pay?
Sumo wrestler?
So it's overweight.
What is it?
So they're overweight if they're against the law.
Companies could have some penalties to pay. yes, if their people did not.
If your staff.
Wow.
The company has to pay it.
So they're trying to tell them.
That's why they do those workout videos,
and that's also why they jump out of buildings.
It's a mix of both.
There's...
The good and the bad with it.
That is, they do do that.
And this is part of why man you can't some just some guy that can't lose weight and so eventually he just goes well i'm out
then this is crazy what he just quit his job no what's he gonna go to another job that goes
we do need to talk about your weight as he sits in here's my resume i'm the
smartest person ever this is all good and great but you're a bit uh you know what i mean little
two you know what i'm saying i don't know how to jump out a window i don't know how to say it
but your companies measure waistlines of all its its employees. Who's not jumping out a window?
I mean, like you're...
It sounds like I'm about to jump out a window.
Yeah, that sounds horrific.
But it was COVID.
And it goes, well, not everybody, you know.
They're the biggest mammal in the sea,
but as George says, they don't have to be.
That's how...
I mean, can you imagine just them?
They're weighing you? Yeah. Well well you could argue the same reason that are they're measuring your waist how many people would walk
in behind you like if if you would just find your biggest guy and go like for me i'm not saying i'm
skinny but i would go behind the biggest guy just so when i go through they're like they always go
because if i get with someone that's super skinny then now i'm starting to get looked at so yeah i got a place you got to put
you should go behind a sumo guy where they go they go i mean this guy is exhausted from he's
go to sumo guys go in and he's like oh and there's a third and you get right in the middle so when
they get to you he's like no go ahead you're fine yeah and then so you don't even get measured because the guy's too tired from measuring the tape of the sumo guys
how often do they measure their everyone every day do you know what your waistline is 30 34 33
could be 32 fat some 32 pants yeah i'd 34. Let me look it up here.
Average waist size of Japan.
It's going to be
smaller than ours.
It's got to be.
It's got to be.
I mean,
it's against the law.
Yeah.
I looked it up last night,
but I forgot.
Do you know?
I didn't.
It's against the law.
I mean,
you can't.
Can't they only have
one kid too somewhere?
33.5 inches for men.
That's the limit, and 35 for women.
Why is women more?
I don't agree.
Because you can be pregnant.
Wow.
Yeah.
Well, for a brief stint, then.
Well, the women one I think is great.
But the...
No, nigga, when you say that, you're like...
I'll be honest with you.
I get it.
Yeah.
No. That makes sense. Yeah, why are the men smaller than the women? no nigga what did you say that you're like i'll be honest with you i get it yeah and no
yeah why are the men smaller than the women maybe aaron's right because they get to
35 for a woman i mean women are just crushing it over there they can do whatever they want. 33 is tiny for a guy. It is tiny, man. I mean, that's a small, small fill.
I mean, 35 is...
I mean, that's crazy.
So 33.5 is against the law.
They get fined, dude.
I mean, that's crazy because we can't...
We know you're...
Dude, you bring a lot
to the table
we can't afford
to hire you
well it's between
the ages of 40 and 74
so you'd be okay Aaron
oh good
that's when you
gotta lose the weight
after 40
yeah
40 to 74
that doesn't even
make sense
no
so they're saying
that's when your
metabolism was slow
that's when it's probably the hardest but that's when you start to run yeah that's when your metabolism is slow. That's when it's probably the hardest.
But that's when you start to run into other problems.
Yeah, that's when you got problems.
But if you stay in that window,
except women, they get to be these fat so's over there,
and the men have to get it together.
I mean, come on.
Where else is there one child? isn't that somewhere china china that's
that's no longer okay but it was for a long time you can only have one kid yeah uh i feel like you
talked to someone over there and you're like uh speed limit laws are crazy they go yeah i don't
even know man we have a lot of stuff going on, there's just no one you can't bring up.
They're listening to this podcast.
Isn't Daylight Savings Time nuts?
Why do we have to deal with that?
And he's like, yeah, for 34 years I had my waist measured.
I'm not allowed to read a book.
Yeah, yeah.
Then he goes, he's like, 34 years I had my waist measured.
I had to lose all this weight it's like
well at least i bet your women look good he goes yeah you would think so wouldn't you but no
they're allowed to get as big as they want
uh all right what's the milan's smile law in in milan italy you have to smile it's against the
law if you don't smile.
Unless you're attending a funeral or a hospital worker
or at the bedside of an ill family member.
They think it brings tourism and joy.
So you just have to walk around and smile.
I think it's another one of these laws that's never enforced,
but it is on the books.
Hey.
Hey, I think it would be like you walk around going hey i wouldn't
come here man this place is nuts yeah it's a like it would make me not want to go yeah i guess you
would want you almost like they should just say look friendly yeah just be friendly nice just be
nice yeah just be nice and friendly uh so funny uh what's uh i went to singapore they have some
laws they're super clean
yeah
they have of course
litter laws
you can't chew gum there
it's a lot of chew gum
so that gum
you can't chew gum
in Singapore
yeah
no because they're
too afraid
they don't want you
to throw it down
on the ground
yeah
wow
yeah
they have very serious
litter laws in Singapore
yeah
cigarettes
they smoke cigarettes
maybe
that's the most
littered item in the world
is cigarette butts.
Is that fact
or you just...
Yeah.
Oh, is it?
I think if you threw one down
you'd be in big trouble.
Wow.
I had no idea.
No swearing in public
in the Caribbean?
That was...
An old law?
I used to do a joke
about laws.
Something about a bucket.
I don't know.
You can't drink out of a bucket
in Georgia or something. 50 Cent was... There were a lot of people drinking out about a bucket uh we can't drink out of a bucket in georgia or something
50 cents there's a lot of people drinking out of a bucket i would do something like that it was
i forget there's always your everybody's first joke is like you pick it because all these laws
are very easy to make fun of yeah because they're ridiculous and so you just explain the law you
can't drink a bucket out of georgia there's a lot
of people drinking buckets out of georgia that's what that's the gist of it i'll probably bring it
back sounds good uh yeah it did pretty good um 50 cent was arrested on at a concert for swearing
on stage during a concert in saint kitts a car a Caribbean nation that strictly prohibits the use of profanity in public.
During a performance of his song, Pimp, he uttered a bad word to the audience and was arrested, according to TMZ.
He was booked after the performance and appeared in court to pay a fine and settle the charge.
We should thrive in the Caribbean then.
This show?
This show should be number one podcast in the Caribbean.
Should be. Should be.
Should be.
It's not.
We've actually had trouble
breaking in there,
but if anybody
knows anybody
in the Caribbean,
then there you go.
All right.
Let's do a couple more
and then we'll be done.
All right.
The small Texas town.
This is one Aaron had.
Yeah, I think
this is super funny
that there's a small town
in Texas called Marshall, Texas. It's like 25,000 had. Yeah. I think this is super funny that there's a small town in Texas called Marshall,
Texas.
It's like 25,000 people.
Yeah.
And up until very recently,
about a quarter of all the patent lawsuits in the country were filed in this
small Texas town.
So multi,
multi-million dollar lawsuits are tried and filed in this small town.
Yeah.
And there's a couple of reasons for that.
First is they go real quickly through them.
But the second reason is patents are very complicated and technical and
specific.
And so you want a dumb jury that you can convince.
So they've determined right or wrong that the jurors in this
city are easy to convince for whatever you want to convince them about yeah i just think that's
so funny yeah that this town i mean i don't even know if they know it or if they care yeah but all
these big companies because they try cases there all the time, they invest tons of money.
There's a big ice skating rink in front of the courthouse
that's Samsung-sponsored because Samsung gets sued there all the time,
and they just want the people to like Samsung in there.
It's hilarious.
Wow.
That's crazy.
It's a small town.
So they just chose it because Marshall is dumb.
That's what they think.
The way I've seen it worded is they're like it's a little bit of less sophisticated jurors yeah so and they also just don't really have a concept of how money
works so they'll be like they decide the the settlement numbers the juries do so they're like
ah 50 million you know they don't know yeah they have no idea do they know how to vote
what's yeah you might need those are the people you might need to tell how to know i don't know yeah i have no idea do they know how to vote what's
yeah you might need those are the people you might need to tell how to vote i don't know yeah
um that's crazy yeah yeah so all the stuff goes in there and i mean every patent i mean so the law
the the i wonder if it's like some of the the uh attorneys are like love it i guess everybody
brings in their own attorneys no No one's from there.
They're just using.
How can they pick where they go?
Well, that's the thing.
So if I want to sue Brian and my company's based in Nashville,
I don't want to try that case in Nashville.
Let's say I want to try it.
So I'll open up a small little office in Marshall.
Or I'll create some kind of professional relationship with that city
and that will allow you to file the case in that town in that town they've they've they've uh
tightened those regulations like it's harder and harder to do now but for a while they're like you
know just open up a little corner office and this small town and then you can file the case there
yeah super interesting so they could do i wonder i wonder if that town just gets all the cool stuff.
They do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They get a lot of money coming in because all these big companies and lawyers come into town.
Yeah.
Probably some nice hotels.
Yeah.
Get new phones.
Yeah.
Sam's Home.
Yeah.
I mean, it's brands that want to be treated nice.
Well, they want the town to like them.
Yeah.
Because the town's going to decide whether this company infringed on a patent or not.
Yeah.
And it's just all day long.
The patents are...
So, yeah, it's a big part of that town.
Yeah.
It used to be.
It used to be.
Yeah, things have kind of changed.
It's still a hotbed for it.
Oh, I thought it was the Supreme Court ruling that changed it.
It did, yeah.
It did change it a little bit, but they're still doing patent lawsuits out there.
Yeah.
Just not like they used to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll share a couple more unusual state ones.
In Tennessee, it's illegal to share your Netflix password.
Really?
Passed in 2011, this law is directed at hackers who sell login credentials in bulk.
However, individuals who share passwords and don't live under the same roof are also included.
I mean, I wonder if, wait, even if you shared a password with your wife?
No, it said they don't live under the same roof.
Oh.
So if you're divorced, Then it's against the law
And how would they ever catch anybody doing that?
They don't
Didn't Netflix even say
They were like, we don't care
Somebody
HBO came out and were like
It doesn't affect our bottom line at all
Just share it with your friends
Yeah, maybe it was HBO's president
Yeah, there's no way
It has to affect
They said there's no indication
That it affects our subscriber rate
So just share your password if anything it'll make it'll allow people to test it out
yeah and then they can get it themselves yeah yeah yeah so i guess it's like yeah go share it
because it doesn't really everybody wants their own anyway eventually you're going to be like i'm
tired of sharing yeah i get i i'm still on uh my buddy Shacky's Google. I get YouTube, no ads and Google play music.
And I get it.
And I get YouTube TV all from Shacky because he signed up a long time ago.
It was like five friends.
And so I'm still on his.
You were on my Netflix for a while.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
But you do eventually just, you're like, I just want my own.
I want my own Apple ID.
That's my wife.
We always have one.
I think we pay, I'd love for that.
It all gets interlocked together.
I get just...
What do you think about these married couples
that have joint email addresses
and joint Facebook pages and stuff?
Could you get into that?
Maybe. If I don't want to do it, I i mean ours is just different because you got to have your own
but i could see if you if i if i had a private one and i was like just put me and laura on it
so we can see what's going on and like she could just check and because you know a lot of it you
just want to see how you what's up with your friends and kind of keep an eye on people you
grew up with.
So I could see that.
But yeah, I guess it seems weird.
Usually it's one person that's dominating that.
That's true.
That kind of thing.
It's not like the other person.
I'd imagine a lot of times it's the wife
and the husband doesn't even know that the account's there.
Yeah, that's probably true.
And she just goes, this is me and let me tell you all my political
what's the purpose is it to keep them honest no i think they just think they're just going to use
it together i don't know i mean i don't i don't think it's i think it's exactly what i said it
was yeah it's a woman that it's a wife that once has it. It says, here's me and my husband's Facebook.
But they're not equally using it.
The idea is generally, let's just do one together.
Yeah.
And I don't think they ever do.
One person's going to dominate it.
And the other one's not going to ever check it.
But it's like just to stay in touch with people.
That's the logic behind it.
You know?
Would you tell, you're both married,
would you tell your wife your email passwords?
She knows all mine.
She can get into everything.
Unlock your phone and everything?
Everything. Yeah.
You're that way too?
Yeah.
Interesting.
Yeah, whatever.
She's looking at my emails.
She's all my emails and...
She has all the money.
I don't, I mean, she knows all the, where all the money is.
Yeah.
All that stuff.
I don't know any of that stuff.
So you're not going to do that?
I don't know.
I definitely not, I'm not doing it now.
Not doing it yet.
Yeah.
No, I wouldn't do it now.
I would be, and she would never ask me, but I would feel weird if she asked me. Yeah. No, I wouldn't do it now. I would be, and she would never ask me, but I would feel weird if she asked me.
Yeah.
And I have some friends who, like, they said their girlfriends were like, give me your password.
I had a friend whose girlfriend went on his phone and installed her face to be able to unlock the iPhone.
Yeah.
And I thought that was insane. It's just too emotional when you're dating.
You're dating.
So it's, like, still a competition in a way like i feel it's too it's too emotional and too uh
you know they want i don't know it's like it's like giving someone the keys to your apartment
or something yeah it's too it's the stakes are too high yeah because you're dating you could
still not you could break up and it could be over. So I feel like they want
control over.
They're trying to,
you know,
show me some kind of like
that this is going to go farther.
You're not hiding anything
or whatever.
And then yours is
the claustrophobia feeling
of going like,
I got to give me something
that's my own.
Right.
Like I'm not, you know.
And then you get married
and that gets beaten out of you. Your whole life you know and then you don't know what's going on
and you're just uh you walk around you don't know where anything's at and you just and they control
everything she's like the government i rely on her yeah you just walk around and where's this
where's that and they got you wow but i could see the beginning right now you don't. Yeah, because you're still like, we're not married.
Like, get off me.
Yeah.
It wasn't like we sat down day one and here's all my passwords.
It's just over time, there'll be a reason like I need her to log into something for me.
Yeah.
And then, you know, and so I give it to her.
She may not know all of them, but she knows some.
Okay.
I get that yeah for
sure and my fiancee hasn't asked me to do that but i but i know people that it's been weird she's
going to now uh here we go and then we're gonna have the big debate of the you're gonna come back
and go no but it makes sense you know and i think it's fine like you know she had to get in there
nothing to hide like so why not like keep yeah keep your stuff. Like, you know, she had to get in there. Nothing to hide. Like, so why not?
Like, keep, yeah, keep your stuff separate.
You should, you know.
I know guys that with the bank accounts, they don't, they get married.
They, people have, I read, there's an article about someone that had two separate bank accounts.
Being like, you know, because most fights in marriage are going to be of money.
Yeah.
So it's, we both split our bills.
We pay the bills.
And then that way,
if I want to buy stuff,
she can't say,
why are you buying that?
And he can't,
you know,
same way for him.
She,
no one's bothering them.
And so that's,
they,
they do that.
They do that.
You just have two different bank accounts.
And then,
so yeah,
do that.
I don't know.
I had,
my parents used to put money out of bank card,
a separate bank card.
Even when I got married, they would always put like a couple hundred bucks in there.
Because I'd be on the road if I wanted to go do something.
And we had no money.
And I'm not making any money on the road.
And then Laura was working.
And so I would always just still get money from them.
And I was married.
26, 27 years old. My mom is still on my bank account
because she set it up with me
when I was like 13 or 14.
So she could put money in there for you.
She could put money.
She could take money out.
We've talked about this.
