Today's episode of the Nateland podcast is brought to you by Electric E-Bikes, Rocket Money, AG1, and Butcher Box. Hello folks, and hey bear, welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. I'm Nate Bargetzi, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slick. Alright. Alright, we're here. We're doing it. Welcome. You know, just kind of random thought, but can you all drive a stick shift? I've never had to, no. No can you can y'all drive a stick shift i've never had to now no you can't

yeah i haven't done it in a long time but i had two cars that were stick shifts oh yeah yeah well i haven't in a long time either but i think i can still do it yeah i have a bronco that's a stick shift and it was uh but i was i was thinking about it because it's like you know it's like people can't uh steal it it's a car that can't steal it. It's a car that can't get stolen really anymore because no one can really drive it. You could figure it out, right? You could watch a couple YouTube videos. It's pretty tough, dude. I mean, I remember when I – yeah, you could go ask my mom and dad how easy it is to teach a kid to drive a stick shift.

I remember we were learning at Temple Baptist Church in the parking lot. We'd go up there, and that's where I learned to drive a stick shift and i mean it's just and like we i mean it's like mom's like i gotta get out of the car like i can't even is it more fun to drive than an automatic it's the best really it's the best i mean when now you're driving it now differently because they don't really do them anymore. Back when I had it, it was my everyday car. I mean, my first two cars were stick shifts. You had a Bronco, too, that was a stick shift.

Yeah. I mean, it was raggedy, but it is fun. You feel like a real truck driver, you know? Yeah. But when you're in traffic and you're going to, you know, it is, look, when you're driving just every day in like traffic with a stick shift, it's not, it gets old quick. Uh-huh.

But to drive around, you know, it's been so long. It's like super fun. I went on a date long, not long after I got my first. When I was like, I don't know. Yeah. It's probably the only stick shift we're around. Yeah. Yeah.

Mix of horses and stick shift. It was a long time ago. That's for sure. And I just started driving stick shift. I was struggling. And the girl, this is our first date. She goes, she just looks at her and she goes, find it till you grind it. No, grind it till you find it.

Kind of blew that. But anyway, it's kind of funny so yeah i was you think she remembers saying that um probably not it's uh i like your memory though like if she's saying it it sounds like a girl who probably still says it yeah grind it to find it yeah i told this boy on a date when was this 92 no uh when I was learning to drive a stick shift, my dad yelled at me so much in the car. I vowed to never drive with him again. I mean, he yelled at me every time the car would stall. I was like, and then I got so nervous that I had my stepmom.

We just did back roads and we just start and stop, start and stop, start and stop. It's frustrating. Yeah. I mean, my parents, I remember doing it and it was like, they just had to get out of the car. Like it's, it's just, he goes, just, they switch and they go, I can't do this today. You have to, you can't have a short fuse.

Cause you, I mean, cause it's just an exhausting thing to constantly and just get like, just constantly stopping. Oh yeah. And my dad doesn't even have a fuse. I mean's already there yeah i mean he's ready yeah so yeah it's funny you think about car thieves youtube and how to steal it maybe i don't think they would waste their time yeah that they just go all right it's not worth it i don't know if it's a nice car I mean then you're getting into like Gone in 60 seconds Professional Like you know fast and furious

People I'm talking about your Where your car is going to get stolen At a parking lot or something like that I don't think they can do it I mean I don't think they even know what they probably look like Almost They're not making them It's not an easy thing to

let do anymore let's do a video with you learning to drive a stick shift okay i think my frustration i don't know if i could do it i'd want to see how long i could handle it before i'd be like what being in the car with me trying to do it just a couple pops of the and then you're like all right i. I think you'll be surprised, dude. I have a real intuition for this stuff. Yeah. Just a real natural-born driver. Like a remote control. Like you can work in remote control.

I did grow up on video games in a way that you guys never have, where you have to – I've driven manually in video games. We're not that old. With a clutch? With a clutch, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm. Now, it's pretty low stakes in a video game.

Maybe it's not as hard as I think it is, but I don't know. I think it is. No, it would be. I was kidding. It would be a disaster, me trying to drive. Henry Cho says he got his kids stick shifts so they couldn't be on their phone while they're driving. Oh, yeah. That's smart.

And he got them diesel so they couldn't sneak out. Yeah. Yeah, that's the joke. That's funny. That's funny. diesel so they couldn't sneak out yeah yeah that's the joke yeah that's funny yeah it it's uh learning how to direct sticks are very fun it's yeah but it is a lost I mean I guess there's no reason for them to even have sticks anymore can you switch to manual in that car you just got it's just only yeah oh wow yeah I had a four-door saturn with no power

steering automatic yeah yeah it was great yeah it was hard to drive yeah i was pretty my arms were pretty jacked from driving a car with no power steering oh yeah it's good yeah no power steering was crazy yeah that with the stick shift because you would need both your hands to turn you're pretty strong, though. Yeah, I would figure it out, too. I think I remember power steering really coming into a... It was like, oh, I got power steering. You would ask.

Now you don't even ask if it has power steering. I don't even know if I know what it feels like to not have power steering. Driving an old car, I mean, it's just... There was no reason for the car that I had to not have it. It just was like the cheapest kind of model. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I mean, it was no, I mean, it should have had it. Yeah, mine was an 85. I did a mission trip in Australia and they drive

on the other side of the road, the steering wheel's on the other side and I drove a church van there where the stick was on. Oh, really? Oh, but you're left-handed. Yeah, but I'm still used to driving.

I don't know. So was the clutch on the right? Or the pedals were the same? I think the pedals were the same. Oh. Everything else was opposite. Yeah. That'd be tough.

How old were you at the time? I mean, I was adult. Okay. Yeah, still. I was adult. Okay. Still. Everything's adult. Brian was born an adult. Well, Australia was founded when I was in high school.

He's lived a life. Yeah. Do you have any videos of you as a kid? Again, video cameras. Yeah. I'd love to see a video of you as a kid. I think there's drawings. Sketch art on a cave wall I think if you

Get his picture out And flick it enough It looks like he's Oh look at him Now I remember when video cameras Became a thing I was already grown But I have a joke about this

We would just literally go around Filming ourselves No Doing nothing Just walking around Then we'd immediately Hook it up to our TV And watch ourselves but I have a joke about this. Like we would just literally go around filming ourselves. No doing nothing. Just walking around. Then we immediately hook it up to our TV and watch herself. Yeah. What we just did.

Oh yeah. I remember that. Yeah. That's us. Yeah. You're on TV. Yeah. It's amazing.

Well, nobody just leaves a camera running now. I was thinking about that. Some of my childhood videos, you know, it's like you turn on the camera and you're like, let's just record for an hour. You're walking around.

Nobody does that anymore. Everyone self-edits. You get a video right there and then you stop. Nobody just leaves one running continuously. Harper did when she was younger. Like an iPad, just press record. I don't know if I did a joke about it or if I tried to have a bad joke about, cause I think she had one video.

I think you can then hear me and Laura get in an argument cause it just was running. I might've done a joke about it. You did have a joke about that. I don't remember if it made it on something. Well, well, I don't even like is when she had her own YouTube channel.

Yeah. Hey everybody. Like, Oh yeah. Yeah. That was on a special. That was on a special. She didn't, she'd never had her own YouTube channel, but. Hey, everybody, like and subscribe. Oh, yeah, yeah. That was on a special. That was on a special. She didn't,

she never had her own YouTube channel, but she thinks she would talk like she has her own YouTube channel, but it's just going, yeah,

because it just goes to our phones. It was just me and her mom were only subscribers. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, maybe I,

I don't remember if I cut that, you know, it never even made it, but yeah, it's funny because, I mean, she would just do it then and just kind of come and go. Now it's a little more editing and getting it exactly right.

But she's editing, like, they do videos that cap chat or something. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's like the new typing. I feel like where my generation had to be taught that, and then that generation, they just come up knowing it. That's like a... Y'all learned video editing in school?

No, I'm saying I learned that. Oh, yeah. I mean, you could take classes for it if you had like an AV class or something. What I'm saying is like typing used to have to be taught in school. Yeah. And now, people my age, you just grew up typing. Yeah. That's what I think it's going to be.

Yeah. For video editing and stuff. That's like such an essential skill now. Yeah. Why would make it essential? What are you? Is everybody making movies? Because people just live on the internet now.

They put their life on the internet in a way that we never did. Yeah. I saw where a news article kids are now parents are naming their kids based on how it would be a good tiktok handle who's doing that i think i sent you a link to the article it's like a few people well that may be true but everything's a few people yeah Yeah. But anyway, this woman, she's a professional baby namer, which that's amazing that that's a job. But she says that she's helping parents now and they want it to, how would this handle, you know, sound. People want their kids to have that unique identity.

They want their kids to have a cool name handle for Instagram or TikTok in the future. Okay. She charges up to $500 to help expecting parents choose the perfect name. When you read this stuff, it's fun to talk about, but always when you read it, always remind yourself, this lady doesn't exist and no one's doing this. And that's why it's a good story. Always remember that. I hope that's all I want. I try to remind myself that you can't just go, this is what's going on right now. It's not going on right now. She doesn't live in reality. This could be an advertising for her.

Oh yeah. I'm sure she probably, some people pay her this money, but it nobody and uh it'll never be anything that matters and i'm not even knocking her i'm just in general i just think because sometimes we get everybody gets worked up you think the whole country is like this and you gotta remind yourself nobody's like this they just that's a this this is how crazy stories have to get because they don't have anything to write you know like there's you know this kind of peak capitalism though right like this lady is like you know a lot of parents have a hard time naming their kids what if i was just doing it for them and they paid me money i mean i i like this lady you know i mean i don't like that business uh i think you should just name your own kids but i like this lady. How about these names?

Leander, Melville, Pleasant. That's a Pleasant. Ransom. Yeah. Ransom. Duke. Robinson. Duke's a great name, but I went against it.

Look, this kid's going to have a good TikTok handle, but the rest of his life is going to be rough. Yeah, yeah. Winslow. Excuse me. handle but the rest of his life is going to be rough yeah winslow uh excuse me i like like so for her because that because it's like that it's like she's on tiktok so she gets gets to ask like do this where she charges and maybe someone yeah maybe someone sends her money on that thing but there's just but she's, she's got a regular job as I'd imagine. And she just says,

no, I'm a professional baby namer. And then you want to go, you probably have listened to that for a second. Then you go, but like, what do you do?

Yeah. You know, she's like, well, I work at, you know, yeah, like there's,

you got to get through it. And I'm really not trying to knock her, but it just can't be, you can't convince me that there's a market that's doing that. Because what if you give her the money and then she gives you a name you don't like? I know.

Does she get the name first or, you know, that's a slippery slope. I was watching Curb Your Enthusiasm. I got a good one. And you go. Yeah, you're like, same time, same time. Yeah, yeah. He goes, what's it going to, you know, you're like, I don't know. Because what if she.

You go, all right, I'll do it. Charcoal. God. That's a dumbest name. What? Both write it down at the same time. He goes, golly. Yeah, because if.

I want my money back. If she just gives you the name and you go, no, I don't like it. But then you take it without giving her the money. Seven. Yeah. Well, that's what I was about to say. Yeah. take it without giving her the money seven yeah well that's what i was about to say yeah there's a seinfeld episode where george helps parents these parents and uh that's mickey mantel's number

right and he comes up and their argument ensues i'm watching curb last night and i can't tell at this point if he's almost purposely just making these references to seinfeld but every episode i'm like this has been a Seinfeld. Last night, there's one where Larry David, there's parents that try to name their baby. And one of them's last name's Mantle. He's like, oh, Mantle, Mickey Mantle, you know, same thing. And then they get an argument about what to name the kid.

I'm like, it's so similar to Seinfeld. Mickey's a good name. Yeah, it's, I mean, I would imagine that's like, that's the hard part for him. Curb's not been... It's on its... I watched some. It's just like you're just like, all right.

Maybe they are recycling ideas. They're like, hey, I don't remember Seinfeld. Well, I don't think they're maybe even doing it on purpose. It's they don't remember. Like in a weird way. It's just been't remember. Like, in a weird way. It's just been so long. I mean, I worry about it sometimes in my stand-up, like, because it will kind of blend together where I'm like,

did I tell this story somewhere? And then you can't. And then it all kind of goes together that you've got to kind of keep an eye on it to make sure you're not, you know, telling a story about Laura that I i'm like wait i told that story you know because it is it's very hard because when you're as you're coming up this stuff it's like the old hours got to just get out of your head so fast that you kind of forget it and then you come consumed with the new one so i could see that happening for real, being aware of it.

And then Curb's just like, I watched. John Reap was on episode. Yeah, that was fun. Yeah, Reap was great. I don't think, yeah, I don't think I watched it, to be honest. But I need to go back and watch John Reap. Well, this is the last season. Because I want to watch Reap. I saw his clip.

His clip was good. Yeah, this is the last season. It's over. Yeah. It's just kind of like it's, I don't know, it's tough. Richard Lewis reached out to John Reed. Did you see that? I did see that.

After that episode? Yeah. Like two weeks before he died and just told him how he thought he did a great job. Yeah. That's awesome. That's cool. I met Richard Lewis once. Yeah.

When I did, I think I've told when I did Joe Walsh's birthday he was at that he was at it I opened for him one weekend y'all started together

right yeah same class that's funny I opened for him at Zaney's one weekend he's a nice guy.

Yeah. They told me leading in, they said, you may not get in the green room. He may just want the green room to himself. And I was like, okay. So I was prepared for it. And then he would just, he would get there pretty, right before he was about to walk on stage, he would sit in his car until it was time for him to go on stage. I like that. That'll be me later on.

Yeah. Yeah. This was one of my first times to ever feature there. So I had maybe 20, 25 minutes. And one night, I'm about done, and they hand me a note. He's not here yet, so keep going. Oh, yeah. And I remember panicking inside.

Talking real slow. Yeah. Yeah. But he got there real quick after that. But he was really nice. And he, and remember the last show he, he's like,

Hey, I'm sorry about all this with the, he's like, I'm just neurotic. And that's just what I like to do. And I'm like, you've been doing comedy for 40 years. When,

if I ever make it that far, I won't even, you know, look at you or something like that. Yeah. Ryan Hamilton told me he opened for him one time in several shows. And in passing, Richard Lewis would talk to him for a couple of minutes on stage after he brought him up.

Like, really? A couple of minutes? Like, really? Yeah. He's like, it was like, I don't know. He's like, it was a long time to be like, I'm bringing him up. And he's like, hey, great job. And maybe it was just one show.

The crowd's done clapping. He's just standing there talking to him. Yeah. But I guess he's, you know, he's comfortable. He don't care. He's like, I'm a legend. I'm about to do this thing. Yeah.

I don't know. Well, yeah, when you're doing it for a long time, it's got to be hard to go in these green rooms and you're just meeting a comic that's, I mean, 30 years younger than you. And you're just, well, not in this case. Yeah, there you go. Your feature's older than you this week. What?

That's impossible. Yeah, he goes, how's that? How's that? That's okay. Yeah. What, so what, yeah, what, I just started talking about what was. I was in, I was at the Comedy Catch in Chattanooga this weekend. Folk brought me this.

I wanted to share. FedEx envelope. The Breakfast Club. Oh, wow. All right. That's cool. I love that. Yeah. Now, this is one of my favorite movies. Do you guys even know The Breakfast Club? Yeah. wow. All right. That's cool. I love that. This is one of my favorite movies.

Do you guys even know The Breakfast Club? Yeah. Could you name the actors? I've never watched it. I can name the three that are on that poster. Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall. It's pretty good. Well, there's five of them.

I know. He knows three. There's the names that are literally written on the top. I was about to say, you pick some of the more random I do think they really dropped the ball on this poster of not putting Brian

like maybe three of your nicknames Brian Bates Brian Bates yeah yeah you know come on guys alright well sorry dude

and trash no get it better no I think that's very funny yeah so thank you for that

and then I was in Hudsonville, Michigan a lot of folks came to pretty good routing yeah my manager uh you made it all right we're gonna hit we're gonna hit we're gonna hit chattanooga and then as you take a four stopper flight to hunsington where'd you go hudsonville, Michigan. Yeah. He goes, part of the stops are the plane drives a little bit of the way. They have a stick shift on the plane? Yeah. Can you drive a stick shift? I got to know before you take this gig.

Danielle at the Comedy Catch said, she will race you in swimming. Okay. And if you win, she'll build a green room at the club. Oh, well, let's do it. There's a lot riding on this. I got the whole comedy community in my corner. I know you're not working that club anymore. You're too big for it now, but I'm going to be there for a while.

So if you can win this race. She said you have to come back to that club. That's a pretty good deal. That's a good deal. Yeah. I should get the comics should be helping train me. Yeah. Okay. That's a good deal. That's a good deal. Yeah. I should get the comics should be helping train me for this. Yeah. Yeah.

They're really good to get the green. Maybe different comics than me and Brian. Yeah. Yeah. Pay for some training. What are they going to? I don't know, but they should be on my side. Well, they would be on your side rooting for you.

Well, they first thing people have to do is start being positive about how good I am as a swimmer. You can't speak negativity into my life and expect me to perform well. Well, I love it. We have a real bet on the line for a race. Yeah. When do we do it? I guess we'll have to ask Danielle. When are you going to be ready?

I don't know. I need access to a pool. Yeah. That's going to be big. Yeah. I need a body of water. Like a YMCA? Something.

Because I just saw today on Facebook that she had just run a marathon. So she's obviously- Half marathon. Yeah. You'll be fine. Come on. So she's obviously in better lung shape than me. Aaron did a marathon yesterday on his treadmill.

Come on. Yeah. He walks 50 miles a week. He didn't say how fast she did it. Yeah. Okay. Some guy broke the 40-yard dash thing over the weekend. He has the fastest 40 ever.

And I had no idea how fast people were running this. He did it in like a little over four seconds. Yeah. That's unbelievable to me. Yeah. I had no idea that was being done. Yeah, it's like, have you not watched the Combine since the 20s? I never watched it.

No. Even back in the 20s. No, that whole statement felt like a guy that's trying to be like, y'all are in football. Like, I saw a story the other day that they talked about in my newspaper that doesn't talk about sports. Yeah. And Farmer's Almanac. And the guy, he goes, these boys are running pretty fast.

A little over four seconds. But this is not impressive to you guys? Oh, it is impressive. It's very impressive. He ran a 4-1-2, I think, or something. I actually didn't know he broke it. I just saw something. Yeah, he holds the record. Yeah, I think, or something. I actually didn't know he broke it. I just saw something. Yeah, he holds the record.

Yeah, I see it. Yeah, 4.12. Chris Johnson held it for a long time. And I was just like, you're telling me this guy ran 40 yards in four seconds? And I was just like, that is unbelievable to me. And maybe I don't have a real concept for yards. Yeah, I think you could do it in five. You think?

How fast could you do it, you think? No. What about you guys? I'll tell you, at my peak, you know, my peak physical shape,

senior year of high school, like a 5'4". But you had already broken your back, too, at that point. Look, I didn't say I was perfect.

I said I was as good as I was going to get. But five, yeah, that was, I think you were hoping to be in the five if you were a regular person. I just wanted single digits. I said I was as good as I was going to get. But five, yeah, that was – I think you were hoping to be in the five. Oh, yeah.

I just wanted single digits. I just wanted – Were people getting more than – No, no. I just wanted to not be the slowest guy on the team. You just didn't want them to go at 30 yards. They go, all right, Aaron, that's enough. You go, we're not even – I'm not even to the thing yet.

That's good, Aaron. Just go ahead and whip. We'll do two people at the same time. Well, I like this bet, though. I'm in even to the thing yet. That's good, Aaron. Just go ahead and whip. We'll do two people at the same time. Well, I like this bet, though. I'm in for this. Let's get a green room at the comedy match. Yeah, that's a big deal. And in fairness to Dusty, he's more of a hockey guy now.

We're going to get there and realize, where are they going to put that green room? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. They have the upstairs. I'm trying to think. It's been a long time since I've been there. I don't know where they'd have to put it in that corner.

They've moved locations since you've been there. Oh, really? Oh. They could put it upstairs in the corner, and then you come down that stairway to the stage. They could even build stage level to the stairs. Oh, yeah. I like this bit because it would be fun to do. You could do a show and everybody in the crowd will know this show is

happening because. Because I lost a race. Because you lost or the green room, you know. Yeah. The Dusty Slay green room. Oh, yeah. And they have to name it the Dusty Slay green room. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. You know, I saw a farm video, a guy showing off off his farm riding around on an electric e-bike yeah it's showing around his farm so not just for cities get one for the land out yeah yeah and i went to i was off this way i did spots at zany's but i was off i could have been working could have been but uh you went up with jay yeah i went on jay's show oh that's great they were awesome man yeah nate did a spot too. Yeah, I probably had Big Jay, which is the opposite of what this podcast is

about as far as clean and dirty, but Jay's one of my best friends and longest friends. He's wonderful. I forgot to talk about it last week, but I did in South Dakota, I did a smash room. Have you ever done one of those?

No, but I saw a video of yours. It looked pretty awesome. It's more fun than you think it's going to be. Have you ever been to one of those? No, I saw your video. Yeah. Like a rage cage, whatever they're called. Yeah.

Where'd you do it at? Huntsville. Okay. I took Harper. Yeah. I bet that's fun for a kid to do. Yeah, yeah. It was really fun.

We went and did it together. And it was cool. You just get to break a TV and break all this stuff. Oh, we didn't get a TV. I don't know if we had a TV. I think we had a TV. TV was pretty nice. Yeah.

Mine was mostly pots and glasses and stuff. Yeah, yeah, glasses. Maybe we didn't have a TV. Maybe we had glasses. That was here when you got mad at Laura. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that was here. We do it

every week here yeah you know uh yeah yeah it's fun we were just driving by it and i was like i don't know let me go check that out and it was it was a good time i don't think i'd do it again i think i got everything i need to get out i got it out yeah it's like uh yeah i don't i mean yeah someone that is like there weekly is like, you probably want to be like, let's look into this guy. Let's check on that guy, yeah. Let's check on this guy. He's like, you don't have any spots this week. And you're like, hey, you all right?

He goes, no, it's fine. He goes, someone else is going to get it. You go, what? Hello? He hangs up. Hello? That was it for you? Yeah.

You had anything? No. You did that? I did two hot shows. I did the Joy Theater in New Orleans. I don't think either of the shows were sold out, but they were very close, and it was great. New Orleans, the Joy Theater, really great. But New Orleans, just as dangerous feeling as it always feels to me.

And then I got nothing against the city, but it feels very dangerous. And then after my show, I'm hanging out on the side of the theater with a couple of guys and we hear a couple of gunshots and then people go running everywhere and we're just hanging. And then the cops show up and they rope off the area in front of the theater. And then, I don't know, apparently a guy, they don't know exactly what happened, but they speculate that a guy accidentally shot himself. But it was two shots. So I don't know how you accidentally shoot yourself twice. Was that me?

I did. I did it again. But then he ran himself to a hospital. He ran himself? Yeah. That electric e-bike. So it was pretty wild, yeah. And then I went to Hattiesburg, Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

I've never done comedy in Mississippi before, but Hattiesburg couldn't have been more opposite. It felt very safe. And I got to meet the mayor. Couldn't have been more opposite. It felt very safe. And I got to meet the mayor. My friend, Vince Fabra. Vince Fabra and Drew Harrison opened for me. But Vince Fabra went to Hattiesburg, went to University of Southern Mississippi.

And he roomed with the mayor now, back in the day. He wasn't the mayor then. So we got to go hang out at the mayor's office. I forget his name, but I met the guy that booked you on the show. He talked about having you and Leanne Morgan, John Chris, down to do his show to raise money for cancer. He didn't mention me? He did not.

Okay. Did you do it? You were on that show too? I was with Nate Leanne. Maybe he did mention you. I don't know, but I'm not recalling right now. Nah, he didn't. But it was great.

Hattiesburg was so great. It was really fun. I think Jen, Jennifer from the Facebook page was at the show. Oh, yeah. A lot of Nate Land people there. It was great. I had a great time. That's good.

Very fun. And you went to a hockey game. Yeah. And then last week I went to the Preds game and I got to do a couple of things. I did a little interview with Valley Sports and then I got to wind the, the, wrong direction. Well, I'll tell you, the lady goes, I go, which way do I go? She goes, either way you go, it will make the sound. And I go, okay. And she goes, but it's going to take a couple, you know, to catch on. So I'm winding and then it's never catching. So I just on my own go, you know what, I'm switching directions.

And then I got it going. Is that actually making the noise? It is. They hold the microphone up to it. Oh, okay. But as you can see, if you look around at the fans and the audience while I'm doing it, nobody cares. They're not getting fired up. Look how red your face is.

I know. I think a little bit of that is that screen like that because other people's face look pretty red back there too. But, man. You come up for air. Mine is so red. But look at that girl back here. I mean, her face is so red too. Yeah at that girl back here. I mean, her face is so red, too. Yeah, but look at yours. I think she's black.

But look, I mean, yeah, my face is super red. I mean, dang. I'm working. Listen. But look at her face back there. I mean, come on. Put the mouse. What face is he talking about? This guy. Yeah, but that

girl's got makeup on. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. The screen is changing our faces. She didn't put on. She's not a clown. She didn't wear red makeup. I mean, yours is.

Yeah, but I'm working here, too. Yeah. I mean, listen. I got a special called Working Man. I can't be not working that thing out there. I mean, come on, guys. Yeah, my face is a little red, but I'm working it. These people are just standing around.

Oh, that's great. Yeah, I saw the tweet of you just sitting at the desk. I was like, we got Dusty analyzing hockey out here? Well, they didn't ask me any hockey questions. I was like, we got dusty analyzing hockey out here. Well, they didn't ask me any hockey questions. I wish they would have. You know, they got guys skate under four seconds.

Did you ever say something about hockey? Uh, well, no, I was, well, I did say that I'm just amazed people can even skate much less skate and hit the smallest other than golf,

the smallest ball, if you will. Yeah. My face is that's like, look how red that is that's crazy that's what i'm saying there's no way my face is that red come on guys that's yeah but no one else's face is red but this this little back there's red i mean not like that like i mean you look like a different person yeah but i but I mean, if my face is that red, I'm stroking out out there. Well, I mean. You look like a miner that got under the ground. They just brought him up an hour ago and they said, you want to do the Prats thing?

Because he's been underground for a month. I mean, I'm not denying it, but that can't be reality, though. And he just saw the sun. You look like, you remember the wrestler Brother Love? Yeah. That's what you look like you remember the wrestler brother love yeah that's what you look like i know i mean that's what i'm saying but that can't i'm just saying it's got to be some effects of the screen look at that thing what could the effects i don't know but i mean because the other people around you don't look like that but i you know if i look like that and i'm walking around out there people will be like you okay well i mean right in that moment it's uh yeah you're tired i mean i mean

it's intense i'm not denying it yeah it's a wild red it just can't be oh my gosh but look at that guy back there behind that girl like look how red his face is he looks his whole head showing yeah you look just different than everybody though but i think that tells you they're wearing makeup and then that guy back there not wearing makeup oh yeah maybe that's it so non-makeup people got more red yeah yeah and that wasn't i wasn't tv you take the elevator down after that? I mean, it's intense. Yeah. I mean, I'm not denying it, but I just don't. I think there's something going on.

Yeah. That was great. I mean, look at that. Look at your hands, though. Well. That's the difference. I'm white knuckling. Yeah.

Look at that. Yeah. Yeah. All the blood's left my hands, and they're up in my face. Yeah. Yeah. And the way your face looks like and they're up in my face. Yeah. Yeah. And the way your face, it looks like you're, I mean, really exhausted. Like, like you get done, you go, you told me to go there.

The first thing you said, did you tell her that she told you the wrong way? I said that it didn't work the other way. I said, you know, you set me up for failure. Yeah. And then look at me now. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, sure.

I wound it up, but I look a yeah maniac out there doing it yeah yeah yeah i mean look at my i look like i'm yelling too i wasn't yelling yeah all right here we go but yeah i mean that yeah yeah guy jordan uh that used to do comedy here in town, shared that picture. And I'm like, dude, you couldn't have gotten a better picture? Put this on Twitter? I think this is what the picture he wanted. Yeah. Well, the Preds have an eight-game winning streak.

I think it's because of you getting them going. Well, it was a hot game. They scored two right up top, and then there was a fight. And I was like, this is what I'm talking about. Fights are fun, dude. Yeah. yeah i loved it any fights in the stands uh well they gave me some box seats you know so i was like i felt really like i felt like royalty up there i mean i was like i don't know what's going on down in the stands but i'm up here in a balcony. Come back all sweaty. Yeah.

And I was like, what happened? Well, I said, my face looks so red. And she was like, everybody's face looked red. But this picture in particular was like. That's great. I'm trying to run the electricity for the whole place. Keep it going. They need to.

Keep the lights on. You see it dim a little bit and someone has to hit him and he goes faster. I don't know what happened. But you know, sometimes after shows when I take pictures with people, my face looks real red too. Yeah, mine would look red too. Yeah. But not like that? Yeah. But, you know, sometimes after shows, when I take pictures with people, my face looks real red, too.

Yeah, mine would look red, too. Yeah. But not like that. Yeah, yeah. All right. Read you guys' comments. Debbie Zizblat. Zizblat.

Zizblat. Zizblat. Zizblat. I like Zizblat. Me too. Yeah. Me too. Debbie.

Deborah Zizblat. Yeah, sheizblut. Me too. Debbie. Deborah Zizblut. Yeah, she has to change that. Sounds like a spy. It does. Nate's idea that Dusty completely agreed with. Okay. Let's head back. Nate's idea that Dusty completely agreed with for everyone to just move left to move the Earth is impossible.

Taking into consideration the weight of the Earth plus gravitational pull, there's no way movement on Earth could move the Earth a centimeter away. That's because we haven't tried. Well, I love that Debbie just knows that. It's like, you have no idea, Debbie. If everybody on earth moved to one side of the earth who knows what would happen i think people would be nervous it would tip yeah i mean come on debbie don't act like we didn't put a lot of scientific research into that theory you think if everybody went to one side here we go maybe well we're, what I'm saying is, you know, if from, say, Mexico to, you know, Wisconsin, there's this extreme temperature difference.

If we could just bump it a little out, then everything would get a little cooler. Okay. Probably bump it a little up. Well, I'm just saying out from the sun a little bit. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah, that's true. Maybe everybody jump at the little bit. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah, that's true.

Maybe everybody jump at the same time. I mean, come on, Debbie. I mean, don't challenge our ideas unless you're going to bring some real research. I mean, you know what I mean? I don't just believe a Zyze black any time they pop up. How do you know the weight of the earth? Yeah, I mean, come on. They have a scale?

I mean, come on, Debbie. There you go. How weight of the earth? Yeah, I mean, go on. They have a scale? Come on, Debbie. There you go. How much does the earth weigh? Someone say that? Yeah, I think they know. It's rude to ask. Mother earth, what you weigh? Approximately six, with a lot of zeros.

Yeah. Six times 10 to the 24th kilograms. And that's with all the people. Yeah, why don't you give like a better, why don't they go like 2,000 pounds? One time. Yeah, they can shorten this down. They can, you know, make another thing.

Oh, yeah. 13,170 billion trillion pounds. Okay. And look at that. 13,170 billion trillion pounds. Okay. To put that in context, a male African bush elephant tips the scale at 13,000 pounds. That doesn't even put it in context. That number is so crazy. Why keeps going though? There is no context.

One trillion elephants would weigh 13 whatever. 13,000 trillion pounds. And the earth weighs one billion times more than that. There you go. Experts study the gravitational pull the planet has on other things and use math to calculate its size. Yeah, they have no idea. They have no idea. its size. Yeah, they have no idea.

They have no idea. They're like doing this guy's like working at the fair. He's like, I can guess. He goes, come on over here. He goes, deuce, deuce and a half. Shiv Ottoman. Shiv Ottoman.

Scientists tend to start thinking up theories way ahead of their time Because it could take decades before they find a solution Doesn't mean they finalize on plans Use an umbrella to cover the sun It's a theory that enables debates And conversations There you go

Sounds like something that Adam Mann would come up with Yeah They just throw it out there And then they go all right we'll go do them you gotta start somewhere umbrella thing uh what are y'all doing in that room we're doing them arguing about umbrella son uh you want to do that because i don't want to go down that road andrew truix out of every podcast in the land I identify with Aaron the most I have often been

the smartest guy in the room and had to dumb it down okay keep it up Aaron some of us here are here

for Aaron Land yeah I think where we relate the most is our humility that's what I like about Andrew yeah I love that

this guy he's so smart Andrew he just so smart. He does. So smart. His last name's True. Sounds like a race car driver, though, doesn't he? Yeah.

And Truix. Or a toilet paper brand. I think Truix is a... Or a toilet paper brand. I think Truix is a race car. Yeah, Martin Truix Jr. There it is. Yeah.

He's the Bass Pro Shops. Mm-hmm. So Andrew Truix. Smartest guy on the track, Martin Truitt Jr. There it is. Yeah. He's the Bass Pro Shops. Mm-hmm. So, Andrew Truitt. Smartest guy on the track, some people would say. Jason Feller. I'm one of those weirdos

that cried at the solar eclipse when it came to Nashville. See, Nate, there were more than four people. Yeah. Okay.

I wasn't expecting to, but something happened in that moment, and I was totally overwhelmed. I've been looking forward to the one in April since then. I'm pulling my kids out of school to go see it, encouraging everyone I know to do the same. I hope Aaron gives it another shot. Come on, Aaron. Give it another shot. All right. You're the one that said nobody's doing this.

Well, nobody's crying you said i didn't think people would be crying but i recommend a smash room for jason i think he's got some undue emotion that he needs to did you ever have like a moment where your parents are like we need to experience this as a family like a historical moment where they're like we gotta i remember my dad waking us up this is when this is when george bush was declaring war starting the war in iraq my dad was like all right everybody come we're like we're gonna watch this i want y'all to have been here when this happened he did it like middle of the night i mean it was probably i think it was at night when he made that announcement like nine

o'clock or something we went in but i was o'clock or something. We went and looked at it. But I was 11. I remember, I think we went and looked at Minnesota Fat's grave site. My dad had us go over there. That's pretty cool. Yeah, because he's buried here. He's buried next to Tulp Grove in Hermitage, hickory and there and so i think my dad heard about it so we i remember where he goes we're gonna go look at this we're not even billiard

fans right but it was someone famous there you go it's the same thing my mom wanted to go look at charlie daniel's grave just thinking of that and then so i took her and my wife and my baby and we drove over there i knew where it was at my mom was like well let me get a picture with you in the grave because i know you're a big fan i'm like well i don't know that and then so i said okay though my mom wanted to do it so i got a picture and then another lady pulled up and she was like i'll get a picture with the whole family here and yeah and hannah was like nah nah i was like nah just do it this lady's already got out of the car let's just do do it. So I got a picture with the whole family at Charlie Daniels grave. But I don't think that's what you're talking about, really.

Yeah. No, this is the same thing. Historical memory. Yeah, exactly. It's a recognition of we need to build a memory here. Yeah. And I do. I was a huge Charlie Daniels fan, but I don't really need a picture with this graveside.

Do you know what I mean? Go to Charlie Daniels Park. but I don't really need a picture with this graveside. Do you know what I mean? Go to Charlie Daniels Park. Yeah, I do go there. I used to live over there. We stopped at, I've told this before, at Randy Owens, Alabama. We found his house. Oh, yeah. Who? The lead singer for Alabama. Oh,

okay. Randy, is it Owen or Owens? I don't know if it's a singular or plural. Randy. On vacation, we made a pit stop. There you go. There you go. All right.

So, no. Yeah. There it goes. How'd that go the first time you told it? Scott Thompson, a solar eclipse interrupted a battle in 585 BC between the Median peoples and the Lydian peoples, regional powers at the time. The eclipse occurring mid-battle was seen as a sign from the gods. The battle ceased and peace was negotiated between the groups who had been warring for the past six years. How about that?

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We're having this eclipse. Like these eclipses don't happen all the time is what they're saying. And we just had one like what? 2017. Seven years ago. And seven is a real biblical kind of number. And so it came across.

And now seven years later, we've got another one going across, making an X right across America. I just think it's strange. And I think it may be a sign. Because, you know, I think in Luke, it talks about Jesus talks about a sign from Jonah. It talks about, Jesus talks about a sign from Jonah, right? And apparently this eclipse is going through a lot of cities in America named Nineveh, which was the city that Jonah had to go to and tell him to repent. How many Ninevehs are there? Apparently quite a few. Three?

I think like six at least. When the 2017 one happened, were you telling everybody, they don't know. They don't know. This ain't going to happen. No, I mean,

I do think they seem to know about when these are going to happen. I feel like it's, it would be weird if the scientists were like, an eclipse is coming and then it didn't come. I think they do know.

But I just think it's interesting. It's forming a little X right across America. It's an, you know right across America. It's an election. I guess it is an election. Yeah, it's like, I think it's strange. And in 585 BC,

they were thinking like me. They were like, hey, we're in the middle of a war. This thing just happened. Let's bring some peace here. Yeah. And now we're like, you know, we're crying when it comes over. Which I guess is at least recognition of how, you know, big of a deal it is. So, you know what?

I'm coming around on Jason. All right. You're going to cry. I think it's great. I won't be crying, but who knows? Yeah, who knows? You think you'll be underground during it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm crying because i accidentally locked myself in there like them you ever see blast from the past

with uh brendan fraser and uh christopher walken no alicia silverstone great movie yeah but christopher walken is brendan fraser's dad and and they think a nuclear explosion has happened, so they go down and lock themselves under for like, I don't know, 20 years, and then come out. So it's Brendan Fraser who's been raised underground, is now trying to go out. That's fun. It's a great movie.

Yeah. Very fun. Reva Wolf. Reva Wolf. You've got to Google May 19, 1780 the dark day it's very interesting love the podcast oh i'd like to check that out well there it is uh in new england may 19th 1780 an unusual darkening of the daytime sky was observed over the new england states and parts of eastern canada the primary cause of the event is believed to have been a combination of smoke from forest fires a thick fog and cloud cover but the darkness was so complete that candles were required from noon

on it didn't disperse until the middle of the next night so i imagine if you don't know this is coming and it just gets dark for a whole day. It's got to be terrifying. Back then, 1780. What do you think was going on during then? They said it could be a forest fire. But you're thinking witch hunts and stuff?

What were they up to? It was just four years after signing the declaration. What were they doing? What were they up to? Maybe a mall. First corporation. Real dark day.

Dallas Owen. You guys have a lot of good advice on in-flight apparel. What's your opinion on flying in shorts? I could be flying to the equator, but would still wear long pants because I can't stand for my bare legs. The touch of legs of someone else next to me. I agree. I'm not even really into shorts. When it's real hot and you're just out doing something, I get it.

But in public, I'm not a big shorts guy. I'm not. Golfing, it can be. If you're outside, like some workout shorts. I don't mind shorts like that. But I'm not the most. If I'm going to be inside a lot, I won't wear shorts. I wear shorts on a play. Do you?

Well, do you? Yeah. Why not? What kind of shorts? Like basketball shorts? Shorts and a t-shirt. He's going through menopause. Short shorts. Gets shorts. Shorts and a t-shirt. He's going through menopause. Short shorts.

Gets hot. Umbros. Excuse me, ladies. I got to do some man spreading here. Excuse me, Southwest. Is the air on? Sir, it's freezing up here. It couldn't be colder.

Yeah, I'm not into... I mean, you know, when I used to sell pesticides, I wish they would have let me wear shorts because it was so hot in Charleston. And I'm pushing pallets of fertilizer around, but I'm not a shorts. I'm not into that. I don't think it's a good look. I think as a business, I think it's better to have everybody in pants. I can understand like, you can understand the pesticide. You could do shorts, but you'd be like, we need at least a uniform.

Yeah, khaki shorts. Like a UPS driver, you don't really think about him wearing those shorts because it's a uniform. But I wear shorts to golf. I can wear them if we're doing an activity. But yeah, if I'm going to be inside, I don't, I like pants. And fine, I mean, I don't know if I've ever even wore shorts. I don't think I have. Not in, I couldn't tell you how long.

I went through a real cargo short phase in my life. Oh, geez. There's a couple of pictures of those that I wish didn't exist. Yeah, we'll find them. Yeah, those were just like, how much stuff do people carry? Yeah. You know? Mm-hmm.

If you need cargo shorts, I think you got to go, what are you, what are you walking around? Especially on a plane. Oh, you're not talking about on flight. You're talking about

just in general. Yeah, just in general. I was wearing a lot of cargo shorts and flip-flops. Mm-hmm. I want to get to like travel with nothing.

Like minimalistic. You see a guy on a plane like that every now and then. Dude, nothing. Yeah, they could have... If you have a phone, you could have a book. You could have everything. But no backpack.

Nothing. Yeah, that's pretty nice. I'm not a light traveler. I can't do it. I'd like to, but I can't do it. Yeah, I know. It's just to, but I can't. Yeah. I know. I just, you just end up, it's just junk, man. It's all junk. Yeah.

What you need is rocket money. Oh, that's. These are getting worse, Brian. I know. That's okay. I like how you get up in there. I think, you know, you gotta, yeah. That's what you gotta do.

You gotta remind them mel glover meg mail i was looking at l meg glover wait where where were you looking at the l in the gl oh the next word over yeah meg glover mel glover is a great name. Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson, Danny Glover. Yeah, Mel Glover is a great name. I hope there's a Mel in that family. Aaron said, Kristen Chenoweth from West Wing. Feels akin to someone saying Michael Jordan from Space Jam. Ken?

Yeah. What was Kristen Chenoweth in otherwise? She's like a Broadway star. That was the joke. She's like old school famous. Yeah. Where it's like just all around. Liza Minnelli type, that kind of.

You're just full entertainer. Yeah. She could put on a show. You could lock her in a room with an audience and she would be able to do a show, which is such a talent. I mean, because just acting-wise, I mean, Space Jam is Michael Jordan's biggest film, I would say. It is. It's his only film. Yeah, I mean.

Yeah. So. Yeah. Kristen Chenoweth, I mean, to me, that would say West wing was like her biggest thing she ever did aside from having a prolific basketball career yeah but i think it's if you want to if you want to uh if you're trying to wrap kristen chenoweth up it it it really narrows what she is. She also, like it would almost be,

the West Wing would be, oh, and also she was an actor on the greatest TV show. Like you would say it like that. Yeah, just to be clear, I knew that. That's why it was funny to say that in the moment. Yeah, I think we all had a pretty big laugh. From what I remember. Dusty, i'm surprised you have never oh hope waller hope waller what a name yeah that's a good name too hope waller uh i bet you know when you hope

waller comes up you'll probably when you're about to meet hope waller you go i bet this is hope waller i think you feel it. Hope Waller. I bet you feel it before you ever meet him. You'd go, are you Hope Waller? If you knew, hey, this town has a Hope Waller, I think you could go walk and go, I bet I could pick out Hope Waller. Dusty, I'm surprised you've never heard of acidophilus with all your digestive issues it is a really great probiotic you should give it a try my mom is all about natural remedies

and acidophilus is one of the vitamins she takes often uh acidophilus yeah you don't have to drink the milk we usually just take capsules of it. There you go. All right. Yeah. I mean, I'm into it, I guess. I had never heard of it, though. So that was not-

Yeah, we got- Yeah, my- We were- I was talking to my mom about it the other day. And yeah, we just always- That's just what we always bought. By the way, you know, golly, you know why we bought it? Very funny.

This is just- You know why I bought it? You know who This is just, you know, I bought it. You know who their spokesperson was? Ernest T. Yeah. So we bought it because they go, well, Ernest T was on the- Ernest T like from Andy Griffith? No, just Ernest.

No, no, Ernest. Not Ernest T, Ernest. Okay. Ernest. Hey, Vern. Hey, Vern. Yeah. Ernest T Bass?

No, not Ernest T Bass. Take the T off. Take the T, yeah. Ernest goes to camp, you know that guy? Ernest P. Worrell. Yeah. Yeah. Jim Var T. Bass. Take the T. Ernest goes to camp, you know that guy? Yeah. Jim Varney. This guy? Yeah. Ernest was really great. You don't know about Ernest?

I know these movies. I didn't know he was like... These movies were great. He had a TV show. I need to watch those with Harper. This guy was huge back in the day. Yeah, so they knew. That's why we did it. He advertised acidophilus milk and so we were like, sign us up. Huge back in the day here in Nashville. Yeah. So they knew. Yeah, that's why we did it because he advertised Acidopolis Milk, and so we were like, sign us up.

He had some great commercials. Mm-hmm. Super funny. They're still in the show. He died in 2000, man. He was also the Beverly Hillbillies. He played Jed Clampett in the movie. Mm-hmm.

Another guy that's just – you could throw that guy in the room and he'd give you an hour-long show. I'm on it. He died at 50. There was a clip of him and Robin Williams circulating on Instagram hanging out backstage

talking. I didn't know what they were in together, but it was very funny. Yeah. I need to go and watch those with Harper because they're Ernest Goes to Camp and all that. Yeah, they were great. I watched Ernest Goes to Camp a few years back and

it was not the same to me as when I was a kid. It just felt like they were just picking on Ernest the whole time. Yeah. This guy's such a nice guy. Stop doing that to him. Yeah, it's probably how you watch it, though. It's just like it's self-deprecating. It's funny.

The commercials, he'd basically come to the guy's window, right? Yes. He'd be like, hey, Vern. Hey, Vern. I got blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And they were fine. Yeah, yeah. It worked.

The whole family was buying it. We bought it. I mean, they still buy it, I yeah. It worked. Yeah, the whole family was buying it. We bought it. I mean, they still buy it, I think. It's all we ever drink. Jonathan Eldridge. Eldridge, but just L, then right to the D. That's a, I liked it. That's a family.

Long time ago, they go, I ain't messing around. Minimalized. That's a good read. Get to it. Eldridge. I was reading La messing around. Minimalize. That's a good read. Get to it. Eldridge. I was reading LaDridge. LaDridge. So that's Eldridge.

There's an apostrophe there. Yeah, that's very good. Yeah. Eldridge. It goes Eldridge. And I bet he goes, how do you spell that? You go, it's going to be spelled how your brain first says to spell it, but I bet you spell it wrong.

Yeah. Because everybody would spell it wrong. And I'd probably dumbly spell it like that. And he'd be like, you nailed it. Yeah. Because everybody would spell it wrong. And I'd probably dumbly spell it like that. And he'd be like, you nailed it. The best rule of thumb for restaurants is to be gone by the time they close. Whether you're getting to go or eating there, you just have to want to be gone before they close. Have to want to be gone. Yeah.

I mean, but if you go in there and want to eat. I wanted to be gone. Yeah. Yeah. I agree with him though you did yeah yeah of course right right because we were talking last week about like you go when you're like oh they close in 15 minutes you know it's like but if you can just get in there and get your food and get out and not you don't want to get a table when they're

about to close and yeah you go sit at the bar you're like i just try to get we're just trying to get a hamburger yeah and. And like something quick. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, you know, but I mean, if someone's drinking and having a big table, they don't always rush those people out. Right. But I get, you know, I guess they're spending money. I don't know.

Cindy, Aaron, consider donating your minivan. Some of these chariots will come get your van for free. That's what I, yeah, I'm doing that. I just needed it. I needed my minivan moved that day. Yeah. I just needed it out of the way. Yeah.

So, yeah, I'm done. Cars for kids. You ever heard of that? Yeah. I got a jingle commercial, right? Cars for kids. Cars for kids. Yeah.

Yeah, those are- I gave back. I had a car. Worst commercials. I had an old car that we gave to cars for kids. Yeah. Yeah, those are- I gave back, I had a car. Worst commercials. I had an old car that we gave to cars for kids. Yeah. Most annoying commercials on the planet. The cars for kids? I think so.

What are they? Can you do them? Well, it was- Cars for kids. Oh, that's like, was it amelotic like that? Or was- Give me, give me some love. Don't know that?

I'm sure you could find it online. Joy Nardini. Where do you guys fall on the daylight saving time debate? I live in California and currently live in Arizona, and I can't decide if I like not changing my clocks. In the winter, I have the hardest time waking up in the morning because the sun doesn't come up until after 7 a.m. But it's great in the summer because it still doesn't come up until after 7 a.m but it's great in the summer

because it still gets dark at a reasonable hour so my young kids can still go to sleep at bedtime yeah i don't think i like daylight like i like it when we're about to spring forward right yeah so you do like i like i do oh so i do like daylight i like it when it gets dark later that's what i'm into yeah start this sunday oh really yep all right so we'll lose an hour oh but yeah we'll when it gets dark later. That's what I meant too. Yeah. Start this Sunday. Oh, really? Yep. All right. So we'll lose an hour. But yeah. We'll go back an hour

or forward an hour. Spring forward. Spring forward. So we lose an hour, but it'll get dark later, which is really the best. Which is nice. Yeah.

Now the argument I read for why some are against it is because it gets, the sun comes up later. So like here in Tennessee in in central time if you kept it like that year round in the winter time sun wouldn't be coming up till nearly 8 a.m so kids be going to school in the dark i'm okay with it great yeah yeah well you have kids so the way in the dark it would be dark till 8 a.m right right now in the wintertime, on standard time, it's nearly 7 in December when the sun comes up.

And if we stayed on daylight savings time, it'd be nearly 8, which I guess on the East Coast would be nearly 9 a.m. if we stuck with it. Yeah, that is crazy. Maybe that's why they don't do it. Maybe that makes the most sense ever. I just needed to hear some of that. Yeah, I've never heard that argument before. To me, it's like, who cares about the morning, though? It's like the night is the afternoon.

It would be hard to get waking up in the middle of the night. Farmers care, Dusty. I feel like you guys are reversing here. What farmer is getting up before 8? Reliant on the clock to tell them when to get up. You just get up at sunrise.

Getting stuff done. You don't think farmers use alarm clocks? Well, if you're just a farmer. They have electricity and everything at these farms. Right, but if you're just farming and you don't, you know, and it's like the job is just to farm, why do you have to get started at 7am?

Why not just get started when the sun comes up? And then just work later in the day? You probably would have to get started. I don't think the sun comes up at 8 a.m. I think you exist in a global economy. I'm saying – You're like 9 a.m. I'm saying right now – I don't think the sun's ever come up at 9 a.m. anywhere on the earth.

Well, I don't know about that, but I'm saying if we – Because that was your whole argument. Well, I don't know about that, but I'm saying if we stick with daylight savings time, if I read correctly, on the East Coast, the sun wouldn't come up until nearly 9 a.m. And here, it wouldn't come up until nearly 8 a.m. I don't know. But right now, we're on standard time in the winter. Yeah. So it comes up at around 7 a.m. What's the latest the sun comes up? I just don't think it around 7 a.m. What's the latest the sun comes up?

I just don't think it's 9 a.m. anywhere. I'm looking it up now. Well, in Alaska, it may never go down. That's true. Sometimes it just doesn't anywhere. Yeah. While we're looking, Dusty, tell us about AG1. Oh.

I'll do it. Yeah go ahead could you look at sunrise in december yeah for where uh just anywhere in the united states yeah new york that yeah doesn't rise till 11 a.m yeah okay new york december 2023 we'll go down. Yeah, go down. I mean, so like December. Yes, seven o'clock. Where? 718. Yeah, I think that the. Where does it say 718? Right here at the bottom.

As you move along the graph. Help us with that. 719. Yeah. Is the latest, basically. So in the summer, June, July. Be 8th. 520. Yeah. But so 719 is the latest, basically. So in the summer, June, July, it'd be $520. Yeah, but so $719 is the latest.

So if you didn't do the daylight savings, it'd be $820. Yeah, so the longest day, or I guess maybe the shortest day, it's almost $750-something on the East Coast. Okay.

I just say, let's get rid of time all together we'll wake up when the sun comes up go to bed when it goes down there goes your comedy career yeah yeah i mean let's just reset everything daytime again there goes your yeah daytime comedy yeah we'll do daytime comedy shows yeah i'll people have time and you gotta work you gotta well in the winter time there won't be a lot of time but how do you tell them that's when people want to be inside the pink season for comedy let's do some candlelight comedy how do you tell them when the show is you go when you know you start to get real familiar where the sun is in the sky and you go- So you're using a sundial.

You go on the new moon when the sun is- So you still got to time. Stop the book of Torah. Right, but we don't use numbers. Yeah. You just say- You know it. We deal with numbers.

You know it. You'll feel it. You'll feel it when the show's about to start yeah yeah well the old way let's say it'd be 8 p.m but the new ways you know what the town will announce make an announcement when the show's about oh they ring a bell we'll be living in smaller communities so we'll be traveling from town to town and they'll they'll be like oh you, there's a big act coming into town. Are these shows in English?

Well, some of them, you know, I can't guarantee they all work. Old English. Right. I feel like now with phones, everyone now just, there's not an issue with time change for someone not knowing about it. Exactly. But growing up, we'd always go to church on Sunday morning. There would always be somebody, sometimes it was us, that either forgot and they'd get there an hour late or get there an hour early. I bet these people still do it because if you don't set your alarm, do you set an alarm to wake up?

Oh, yeah. I set three. Every day? Yeah. I set three different alarms. Hotel, I do four. Okay. I know. I'm talking about everyday life. Yeah. Really? Oh, yeah. I set three. Every day? Yeah. I set three different alarms. Hotel, I do four. Okay, I know. I'm talking about everyday life.

Yeah. Even, really? Mm-hmm. I haven't set an alarm. I mean, like, unless I have to get up. I mean, I'll sleep through it almost every day,

but I set one. What time? Two hours this morning. I know, but what time do you... I set one for seven. I woke up at nine. Yeah. And I just snoozed it every nine minutes.

Yeah. Yeah, you just need a kid and then... Yeah, that'll change. Why were you wanting to get up so early? I don't know. You have big ambitions, right? I'm going to tackle the day tomorrow. I'm going to really get into it.

And then you wake up at nine and here I am. Yeah. I set an alarm even on your bus. Yeah. My biggest fear is that I'll just oversleep and everybody's already doing something and I'll just wake up and I'll be locked in the bus or something. Yeah. Locked in the bus? Wow.

Do you wake up with it? I think I can wake up without an alarm like Kramer. I mean, I would eventually, but I'm just worried. out an alarm like Kramer. I mean, I would eventually, but I think I'm, I mean, I don't do it that like, I know if I today, like I knew I needed to get up at like 9am and I'm out, I'm blown away. Cause I'll always wake up and there'll be right when I needed to get up. Now I think if I had to get up at six, like something so crazy, I'd be in shock. I don't know. I'd set my alarm for that. I set my alarm for that kind of stuff but i mean i don't set it i mean i'm just my life is not the most morning type thing

uh so i don't you know there's really no need for it yeah i mean i have to be somewhere you know but i don't set one unless i got to catch a plane. Yeah. Your kids will wake you up. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes all throughout the night. Yeah. Well, I want to talk a little bit.

According to Noah, spring is here. It's feeling like spring out there. According to Noah. Well, technically, I think spring starts March 2021. Yeah. Starts a day early this year because of leap year. Starts March 19th. Okay.

But according to meteorologists, March 1st is like the start of spring. Oh, Noah. Noah. N-O-A-A. It's about Noah. I thought that was the name of the groundhog. What's Noah's last name? I don't know that it really listed it.

What could it be? Are you talking about biblical Noah? There's the yellow pages. I don't put my last name in. There's a lot of stuff in the Bible. They go, you want to do your last name? He goes, don't put my last name in. I bet he got a lot of prank calls

when he was building that thing. Oh, gosh. Yeah. There's only so many Ezekiels. You're like, there's a million of them back then. Probably so, yeah.

Don't put my last name. Yeah. Your last name was just where you were from, right? Or like who your parents were. Mm-hmm. I think his dad was Methuselah,

the real old guy? No. Granddad. Yeah, the real old guy? No. Granddad. Yeah, maybe his granddad. Yeah. Who was his dad? Lamech? I don't know.

I can't remember. These all sound made up. Yeah. Lamech's a good name. Lamech. Methuselah lived 969 years. Did he really? That's impressive.

Yeah. Anyway, spring's here. It's the best time to do some planting. So I thought we'd talk about some plants and some trees. Planting. Yeah. Planting. All right.

Planting. Have you, I probably said that wrong. Have you ever planted anything or ever had to take care of a plant? No, not one day of my life. Never? Good topic. Yeah. Oh, man.

Well, I'm saving the obvious yeah yeah they go yeah we work our way up he's he's he's foaming at the mouth i'm not gonna start at the top so it's like let him go just let him go he's like oh boy what about you foaming at the mouth or chomping at the bed probably chomping yeah champing foaming at the mouth that it sounds like i am having some problems you're rabid because he's foaming at the mouth let him look at her she's foaming at the mouth he's got rabies what about you eric no dude i don't think we had plants growing up you guys have neither ever really planted anything i've been trying to tell the story on but i went to my my brother just moved to tucson and i went out there and i was like let me get you something for your apartment and he wanted some plants so i went to a plant store and i got him like a cactus and so much plants are so expensive dude if you get like nice plants

and they're free if you just go dig them up that's the the crazy part. Yeah. Like a nice house. We got him a crazy looking cactus anyway. Something you could never find in Arizona. Yeah. All right. I thought I was doing a nice thing. I'm kidding. This will go perfect with all your cactuses in your backyard.

Now you get one inside that you can bump up against. And you just get lit up all day, bud. by all right i don't even feel like finishing the story when we got married someone gave us a a bonsai oh yeah see that you grow and because bonsais are strong supposed to show marriage is strong it we can withstand oh tough times never thought of it like it was a metaphor. Things like that. So I take care of it. I brought it. Did you really?

Oh. There it is. What? Well, don't damage it. There it is. But I want to say that's not any correlation with my marriage. Oh, that's good to know. Have you been, did you take care of it? Did you try to get that degree?

I did. I tried. And I just, that's as far as it could go. Just for reference, this is what it's supposed to look like. Yeah, Karate Kid. That's a big part of the movie. You know, I got a friend that he does a lot of bonsai trees. He has tons of them.

And he says that bonsai is just, you know, like a potted tree. I mean, that's what it is. It doesn't have to be any particular kind of tree. But when you say bonsai tree, this is what you're talking about. Right, but it's a small tree that you can take any tree that you dig up and then put it in a pod and then just manicure it in a certain way. Yeah, you don't have to grow it. Hold it.

I'm still trying to get this thing going did you really forget to put water no i did water it you just never would i haven't watered it for a while but it just stopped growing just maybe it could be root bound in that thing right there maybe maybe dusty have you ever planted anything yeah i was pulling weeds this morning i mean i'm i I got a cup. My grandfather planted some fig trees and like he died in 1966. So he planted them before he died. And so I did some cuttings, obviously. And I did some cuttings and I'm trying to.

Now what's cuttings? Well, you just clip off like the fig tree is growing and you got a limb that's growing. You clip it where it's got some new growth on it. And then you put it into dirt and try to regrow a new tree out of that. So that's what I'm trying to do right now. I got, you remember, that's what they did with the Isaac Newton tree.

We talked about that a little bit where that tree's now all over the world. Anyway, anyway, I got figs. I got walnut. Actually, the walnut limbs died, but I got pecan, grapes. I'm trying to start all these new cuttings. Pecan?

Pecan. Yeah, I don't know. People always say, if you're Southern, you say it a certain way, and I'm like, I don't know how it's said. Pecan, pecan. I always said pecan. What do you guys say? Pecan. Pecan. Yeah. said pecan, pecan. I always said pecan. What do you guys say?

Pecan. I think some say pecan. It was Nick Novicki was pecan. Oh, I was always pecan. I don't even know now. Pecan is what I always said. But anyway, so I'm trying to grow all that, you know, because I like these old, and I got a pear, too, that my grandfather planted. And it's, I mean, this tree is so feeble looking. But yet every year it's like pears all over the place.

And it's all non-GMO stuff. So I'm trying to get, you know, trying to get this going. I got 40 trees that I planted out in McMinnville that I'm trying to get. I got to get some cages built around it. Aaron did help me build some cages one year. Did those work? I think they worked, but we built them too small so the deer could still kind of walk up there and just eat the leaves.

So you need to be a bit bigger around. But I think I'm going to have to hire someone to do it because it's too much work for the little time that I have. But yeah, I mean, I got, I'm trying to get a whole, I built some swales, you know, which is where you, you know, take a hill and then you cut some, cut like a ditch and then, and then you got a little rise and then another ditch and a rise. So you can plant all along the rise. And then as water comes down, it can build up in that ditch. And then as it seeps into the ground, continues to water the plant.

So I'm going to try to grow a row of trees on that and then do some other things like, you know, like food forests is like different canopies. So you have the fruit tree and then you'll have like bushes, like a fig bush. And then as you get smaller, like a blueberry bush, and then you got different herbs. And then as you get smaller, like a blueberry bush, and then you got different herbs. And people say that if you do like peppermint, basil, oregano, rosemary, that when insects come, what they do is they light on different plants, trying to find the one that's good to them. Light? They'll land on it, kind of light on it. So when you have- Light on it.

Yeah, they say light instead of land. I don't know. I've never heard that. That's just something that I say. Yeah, okay. But they'll land on it. And if it's things they don't like, it discourages them from trying other things. So they don't like these herbs.

So the idea is you plant these herbs along to try to keep insects away naturally. So that's what I'm into i mean and how long does it take for a tree to grow well i think a long time i mean but you buy i bought you know i didn't grow them from seed they're grafted and uh that means like halfway yeah well that means like they took they would, they would do a cutting from an already existing apple tree. And then you graft it to some other kind of root. But they, no one will ever really tell you what to graft it to. I never can really find that info. So I just buy the grafted trees and then plant them.

So. Like they put part of an apple seed on another tree? Yeah, it'd be like a an apple tree limb and then you had and then it's cut like you know in a way that it's kind of a longer cut and then you got a root from another tree that's cut a certain way to where you can match them up and then wrap them up with you can't do it like a telephone pole or something no it's got to be something with roots i Something living? Yeah. And then you can buy them bare root.

They're a lot cheaper if you buy bare root. And then you get them in the ground, cover them up. And then, so they're probably a couple of years already into growing at that point. So you got to- But if that seems like something you should talk about at Home Depot with another guy. Yeah, I know. I mean, well, I had hoped that you guys- In the garden section. There's a lot of people listening to this.

Well, I had hoped that you guys had grown one thing. It's interesting. Let me ask you this. If Nate was eating an apple in his backyard, not that David would, but if he were... I don't eat apples. I'm just unhealthy. And he spit the apple seeds on the ground.

Is there a chance that would grow into on the ground would is there a chance that would grow into an apple tree i guess a chance but probably not yeah you dig it and bury it then it then it could grow but what they say is a lot of times uh an a tree that grows from a seed doesn't necessarily bear fruit you don't know that it will bear fruit and it takes so long to grow. That's why they graft them. They graft them from a tree that's already bear fruit. So how long does it take to grow? I mean, like five years? I think so. Something like that, to be able to start getting some fruit. This guy suggested that we plant a trillion trees and it could help global warming because trees

give off, I guess they take in the bad CO2 and then they put out oxygen. But now he's saying, stop doing it. It's not working. Well, I don't buy any of the… Who's he called to say stop? Yeah. Bill Gates is now saying that we can't grow enough trees to combat global warming. But there are a lot of people that are starting to like in India and certain in Africa and certain countries where they have a lot of desert and the desert keeps spreading that they are going in and doing these tree projects. And trees actually help bring water back because of, I don't know, something that it does.

But they're actually saving a lot of desert in India and Africa with these tree projects. What this guy says is the focus should now be on preserving existing forests rather than planting new ones. According to his research, letting existing woodlands expand and mature naturally will offset about 50% more carbon in the long run. So he said that.

Why not focus on both? Plant some trees and preserve the others. So they said there's 3 trillion trees in the world. 3 trillion? Mm-hmm. That's a lot. Wow. That's almost as much as the...

Well, I guess that counts part of the earth's weight. Yeah. It goes, if you got rid of some of this wood, if we got rid of some of these trees, is the earth pretty skinny right now compared to what it was? Because when it had dinosaurs walking around on it too. It was a bit heavier then. A bit heavier then. The people were heavier. We're burning up all that oil from the dinosaurs too.

Yeah. I think there's more trees or wheels. Wheels? How many trees are in there? Three trillion. Three trillion? Wheels. Wheels.

Wheels, okay. I think it's closer than people think. Though I think a trillion is so much that I think there's more trees. It's like unimaginable. I can't even visualize

what a trillion is. Also, no way really to count them. Mm-mm. Well, you can use sample sizes, right? You can estimate. But that would mean everything has to be pretty exact.

I mean, wouldn't it be? No, it's on average. That's the whole point of it. Yeah. How big does it have to get to? It's the only way to do it. No, I feel like it's lazy. I think the person counting is, you know, I think I wouldn't be surprised if a bigger man is the one who came up with that.

And they were walking around counting trees. Because they're more lazy? Yeah. I'm saying he's tired. He found a little shortcut and he goes, they go, let's just go count these trees. And he goes, but I bet if we did a small sample size. And then now he's sitting in the office.

How big does a tree have to be? I mean, is that considered a tree? That's one of the three trillion for sure. But is that alive? Oh, no, that hasn't been alive in a while. Let's see that. Yeah, yeah. Take a look at that.

Dusty, you think you could bring it back? Yeah. Yeah, let's give it a try. I mean, that's very dry. We'll go ahead and de-pot it. You want to pour some water in it? Yeah, yeah. Let's water it up a little bit.

It might run through there. Does that got holes in the bottom? I think so. It's got a big hole. As I say, I mean, while we're looking, there's dirt all over my... Do you think that's why it died is you watered it and there's a hole in the bottom and all the water just got out? It could be it. It could have been a big part of it.

Did you ever... Were you like... Do you remember one time in your marriage, I'll go, where's this water coming from? There's always water on the counter here. Yeah, now that you mentioned it, I guess so. But maybe you didn't get it a big enough pot to grow in. Maybe. I mean, how can it, you know, maybe it's like, you didn't let me really get out there.

Right. I bet the person that gave it to you goes, you didn't read the part, They go, well, obviously take it out of this pot and then put it in. I mean, you may very well be right. Will a tree grow around its surroundings? Like it won't. Yeah. Isn't that true? Didn't some, even animals grow in there?

They'll be smaller if they're in a small area or bigger if they're in a bigger area. Yeah. I think, I think this pod though is designed to be able to just dissolve away. I'm talking about the actual pot. Oh, yeah. Because sometimes I'll start seeds in these things, and then the roots will grow all out the bottom, and they'll start poking out the side. And then you put more soil underneath it? Yeah, or you can just transfer it to a bigger area.

Yeah. It's like they got a little hole. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, they got a little hole. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, planning is so fun. I mean, it's like, it is like a, like, like social media. Like if you post on social media and you, you work real hard on a video and you post it and then it starts to get likes, you're like, oh, that's super fun.

But planning is like that too, but a more delayed gratification where you go out and you plan a bunch of things. And then you go out one day and you're like, oh man, these things are growing. And then one day they're like really big and you're like, this is, it's more of a delayed gratification. But it is so fun to plant things. And then you're getting in the dirt. I could, I mean, I definitely see the, I could find myself more and more getting into this kind of stuff. It's just a matter of the time. It's a matter of like, if I had the time to really do it, you know.

That might be a fun thing though. If you could do it one day and then you're on the road for a week, come home and see how it's progressed. No, I'm not, I could see like, I definitely, I like the idea of that. See how it's progressing. Yeah, yeah. No, I could see, like, I definitely, I like the idea of that. I like to have your own food and, like, eating, you know, grow food and learn how to sustain where you could be like, we can eat food. But, I mean, it's a commitment. Like, the people that can do this, it's not a, like, you also have a job to really do it.

I mean, you have to learn a lot. It's a very, very, farmers, like I said, that's what they do. They don't also do this other stuff because it's just an insane, you're constantly having to learn and how to do this. And it's like staying on top of everything. You got to check it every day. Like if you have own land, even to manage the land, I mean, someone has to be there to like, you know,

we were saying like someone, if you bought like a lot of acres, say you bought a thousand acres. I mean, I don't know if you, you have to like, like someone have an idea of what's going on in that land. It can't just be. I think you can. You can just let it. You can't i don't think you want to do anything with it yeah it's got to be active yeah i mean a lot of that would just be woods and

forest but yeah all the open land you gotta cut it and just get out of here and doesn't get you know the sun doesn't rise till 10 a.m yeah yeah it's a night noon or you gotta do a nooner out there with headlights on. There's animals out there, cattle, horses. Maybe you need butcher bucks. You could use butcher bucks. Some meat. That's good.

That's pretty good. We're going to end it on horses, though. Yeah. That is. You want to buy some horse meat, let me tell you where you get it. I should have stopped at cattle. Chicken thighs are really underrated, by the way. Chicken thighs are delicious. And they're the way. Chicken thighs are delicious. And they're the cheapest that you can get with chicken.

No, it's the cheapest part of the body? You know, I mean, there may be some gross parts that are cheaper, but it's like- I mean, yeah. Of the good stuff? Of the good stuff. Yeah, that's where it's at. Did you say Kentucky Fried Chicken's now doing chicken pizza? Oh, yeah.

Chicken pizza. It's called the Cheez-A. Oh, really? Or the Cheez-A. I bet that's great. Yeah, Cheez-A sounds way better. I pizza it's called the chisa oh really or the chisa i bet that's great yeah chisa sounds i bet it's great i'm sure it's delicious dude two 100 white meat extra crispy fried chicken fillets as the base zesty marinara sauce gooey mozzarella cheese and crispy pepperoni i mean i wouldn't mind making that at home. It's a mouth-watering delight. What if...

I don't think you'll make that. No one's making that at home. If you're going to eat that, let me just go to KFC. If you're making that at home, you're probably crying during the eclipse. Well, Dusty grows his own food, though. If you have to... So you're trying to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner

just out of your backyard? Well, I mean, yeah. Ideally, that's the goal. To do that sort of thing, it is no way to have another job. I have two kids. I mean, there's many times I've grown a bunch of things and stuff like this. I have tomato plants and peppers. And then I leave for five days and I come back home and I ask my wife, did she water the plants? And she goes, oh, sorry. I had so many other things to do. And then I go out there and

they're all like dead and laid over. It's like, you really do these little things. You got to keep that real moist all the time. And it is hard, but once you get some stuff established, then it, that's the idea of the food forest is that it, everything there is food bearing, right? So then it's kind of sustains itself. Like the woods, nobody's taking care of the woods. They just grow on their own. So the idea is if you could get fruit trees and fruit bearing vines to do this, then, you know, because they have, they call it permaculture, whereas like most fields they call monoculture, where it's just, you just grow in one thing. So you got to spray a bunch of pesticides. You got to kill all the animals out there.

The idea behind permaculture is that you got so much food growing that if animals come and eat some of it, it's okay. Because there's enough to go around. Oh, wow. Like bats or something like that. Yeah. Then you got to deal with the animal. Like when you go out there, you tell the deers to get away. Yeah.

You got to be like. I bet word gets around quick. Or maybe you're living in harmony out there with the deer. You go out there, the sun shining on your shoulder, a bird lands on you. You're singing a song. Who knows? There's a lot of deer, dude. I bet they would eat. I bet they could eat a forest in a heartbeat. But, you know, I think

if you live in an area like McMinnville, I bet there's a lot of hunters and I bet they find out and then that became, you know, because of party for them too. Everybody wins. All living in harmony. Yeah. Well, someone's not living in harmony. The deer. Yeah, just gun for them too. Yeah. Everybody wins. All living in harmony. Yeah. Well, someone's not living in harmony.

The deer. Yeah, just gunning them down. It won't be me, but I'll come in and I'll go, I'm sorry that was going on. I'm sorry that was happening, guys. You go, what happened? Yeah. That's what you say when the deer comes up. What happened? And then I'll go, well, how much food were you eating out here?

Oh, you were eating all of it? Well, that's going to happen. I guess. Let me tell you. Because y'all having too many kids. Yeah. Don't tell all your friends about this. I met a deer from Pennsylvania. I go, how did he hear about this?

Exactly. Exactly. Do you keep up with the weather more when you grow stuff? Like rain and stuff? No, not really. I mean, I guess you probably could. If I got some potted plants and it looks like it's gonna really rain i'll bring them in you know but no i mean it's it's just good when it rains you're like now i don't have to worry about watering this yeah yeah i i

looked up if uh all the plants went away died off how long we would live longer than i thought actually they said 13 years we would oh the human species yeah okay 13 years wow uh there's two reasons we would visually die off one plants give off oxygen photosynthesis all that stuff which i don't really understand but using the goodness of the sun. We need it to survive. But what would kill us before that is all of the animals that eat plants would die off, and then we wouldn't have them to eat. Then we would do cannibalism. I guess.

Yeah. But it wouldn't be instant, but it would be eventually. It'd be a pretty wild 13 years. Yeah, it'd be interesting. Even the plants in the water. It'd be a pretty wild 13 years. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be interesting. It'd get crazy. Even the plants in the water would be gone too. So all the fish would die. Right.

And then they die, probably make our water toxic. Would we still do this podcast? Probably the first couple of years of it. Yeah. We'd all get thinner. Yeah. Would we get thinner though? We'd be eating reserves of some chocolate somewhere you know they're

probably some big nate's bunker little debbie warehouse somewhere yeah yeah like a big oh that sounds great yeah that'd be the first couple yeah a big hershey bar that the government's not telling us about that we all go down and they scrape off some chocolate and we use it's like a bread line but a chocolate line yeah but then you could just eat unhealthy because you're like we're gonna die in 13 years anyway right see that's how i'm living my life now he's also gonna die in 13 years yeah no but there's a dollar general by my house i think about if i had to if i got hold up in there during the apocalypse i'd be all right for a while yeah there's a lot of good stuff in there.

Dollar General? Yeah, it's just right next to my house. So I go in there all the time. I'd rather be at a Kroger or a Publix, but if I could be at the Dollar General, I'd be fine. Yeah. Would you rather be in a Kroger or a Panera Bread? I'd rather be at the Kroger.

What about Cheesecake Factory? No, I'm not trying to hang out in there. Idiots go there. You know, there's a guy named Andrew Millison. He's on YouTube and he gets, he's the one talking about all these tree planting things and he's into pond building. And he claims we could save the world, save the whole ecosystem by building more ponds. And doing what with them? Yeah.

Just hanging out? The ponds themselves create more plant life, create more animal life. All of that creates, and then that helps change CO2 to oxygen. oxygen. And so just, you know, and you can recycle the water. Like if you could pump water out of the creek into your pond and then have it filter down, this is what I want to do, have it filter down into other little ponds and then eventually back to the creek. And you're not even stealing it from that water source, but you're just creating other water sources. Oh, you're just moving the water. Yeah. Because in McMinnville, where I'm at, my creek is fed by a lot of streams coming out of the mountain. Okay.

So there's like these different spots where streams are coming from underground. You're like a beer commercial down there. Yeah. I mean, it's great. How many acres do you have there? It's nine acres. Yeah. I'd like to have more, but that's what I got right now.

I'm investigating more. Coming from a mountain. Yeah. I'm trying to get into it. Is there a same amount of water on the planet that there's always been? Let me look that up. We redistribute it different ways, but has it always been the same amount? I guess, right?

I mean, because it just evaporates. It goes into the clouds, and then the rain comes down. Just like typical human body. Earth, it's all water weight. But I mean, there's places that have drought now, but I guess that water is going somewhere else. Yeah. I like that this one, that guy starts with, that's tough to say. Tough to say. He at least admits.

Like, yo yeah this is all just me speculating he goes out i mean imagine too when you read like kiora what is that called core core yeah did we talk about you ever pay for that i always think that i i like it no one ever pays for it but it is a really good i like wikipedia too i'm never giving them a dime but this is like i like this better because it's just like, you ask a question, it's like, come on, I'll talk to you for a second. But then, for a guy to have this answer, you got to think, like, is he, who has time to give this answer? Is it the guy? The main guy that knows?

You know, like, who's. Mr. Cora. I wouldn't think the guy that really knows his answer is like, I go on Quora quite a bit, answer a bunch of stuff. You don't think legitimate authorities are hanging out on this website all the time? I can't imagine you'd have time to also know that, well, it's a tough one. Well, this guy says he'd say there's more water on Earth than a billion years ago. And the real reason is meteors. Every day, the Earth is bombarded with about 100 tons of meteors. That seems like a lot years ago. And the real reason is meteors. Every day the earth is bombarded with about a hundred tons of meteors.

That's, it seems like a lot every day. A hundred tons of meteors every day. Most of them grain sized. Almost like it's not even real. While those meteors are mostly rock, there is a fair amount of water in them. And while that water will vaporize in the atmosphere as the meteors burn up,

the compound itself remains. And with the earth just floating in space and zipping through some of it's got to fall out into space sometimes right what i mean it's just zipping through space about water this yeah water i mean you would think some of it would slip right off the planet like a splash yeah i don't get i don't get that. Well, you know, I mean, Earth is spinning. Right. And then spinning through the solar system. Right.

And then the sun is flying through space. Moving very fast. While all these planets are spinning. And it's like, you would think some of that water would just kind of fly off. Fly off there. Right. Yeah. There would have to be some kind of, I don't know, gravitational force.

To keep it. That would keep everything intact. Something like that. But if it. I don't know what. You find it. Let me know. But if it.

If water evaporates and goes into the clouds. Yeah. What's to say sometimes it doesn't go past the cloud. I mean, it does rise. So what's to say it couldn't rise beyond i mean genuinely if it does rise from the water to the clouds what's to say sometimes it doesn't rise farther i mean i don't know maybe it maybe it does you know what i mean it's going yeah i mean i don't know i mean because it gets this high. But what?

Yeah. But the airplane goes above the clouds. Yeah. Sure does, man. So maybe some water sometimes goes beyond. Dude, I had a plane this weekend. But it can't float up. Storming. Landed.

You ever had a plane hit the ground really hard where everybody on the plane screamed? Yeah. You know why they do that? where everybody on the plane screamed. Yeah. You know why they do that? I think, but this is like, if it's real wet, it's they hit it to like kind of knock the water everywhere so the tires can grab and start.

So that's what I remember hearing. So it's intentional. What I heard, I remember hearing it one time. I don't know if that's true, but the idea of it is to, you hit hard to, you hard to just boom, boom. You're not trying to – because if you land softly, you could skid. It's not going to ever grab. And so you're trying to boom, boom, and it kind of grabs it.

Yeah. You screamed? I didn't scream, but everyone on the plane screamed. You're not expecting it. Everybody but you. Yeah, dude. I'm strong. I went – it wasn't a full gas but it was uh i mean i reacted to it when you're not expecting

i didn't even know we were landing and then you just boom yeah i mean it's shocking this is what i do i go exactly yeah i would appreciate a little hey everybody brace for you know everything's okay don't brace for impact. But everything's going to be fine. But we are going to hit the ground a little bit harder than we planned on. It's 45 degrees and that. You know, something like that. Let me know.

Anyway. You're good. All they do is come on and go, oh, we got you here a little faster than we expected. But we do have to sit on the tarmac for an hour. Yeah. But we landed quicker than. Yeah. They love to do that. Yeah.

We got you here early, but you'll be late because we'll sit here for longer. That's a great David Spade joke we talked about. We landed early, they couldn't find a gate. Then we followed this one pilot. He was walking to his plane. And then we were like, but he just left his keys. So we had to keep circling around. I did that on a pilot.

He goes, huh, is that guy leaving? Are you leaving? You're just asking every airplane. Like you're in a parking lot. You about to pull out? You pulling out? I think we need to wrap it up. Nate's got a plane to catch.

Yeah, I got a flight. Hopefully it lands soft. On the road? On the road on the road yeah uh i gotta go out to la today so that doesn't matter but i'm doing shows in this weekend philadelphia nice uh then with the wawa arena what's it called, Wells Fargo and then Syracuse and Albany this weekend.
