Hello folks and hey bear welcome to Nate Land podcast. I'm sitting here with uh we got it we got a few today uh I can't see out of these glasses. I can't either. So Aaron somewhere. Yep. Bates. All right.

And then filling in for Dusty. We had to double it up because no one could carry the weight of what Dusty brings to this. Two for one. Two for one. Greg Warren. Hi, guys. John Crist. We'll try. We'll do our best.

Yeah. Yeah. They're here. Hi, guys. John Crist. We'll try. We'll do our best. Yeah.

Yeah, they're here. We, a little surprise, I think, for everybody listening, we are here in Paducah, Kentucky. Kentucky, yeah. Oh, yeah. I got to take these off. We're at about, yeah, two-thirds of the solar eclipse. I can't, yeah, you can't see. solar eclipse, you can't see. The glasses, you can't see at all. We are at McCracken High School in Paducah.

Go Mustangs. We're on their football field. They let us come. This is the number one place to be, right? It's the place to be. It feels like it, man. There are people out and about. Lawn chairs getting ready.

Yeah. Grilling out. I thought it would be, you definitely see people out, but it didn't feel like, I mean, maybe there's a spot where people are traveling to. For some reason in my head, I thought it'd be like Manhattan traffic out here. Everybody screaming at each other? Yeah, like a whole thing. The very center of the eclipse, it's going to be dark for like four and a half minutes.

For us, about a minute and a half. So, what do you mean? Wait, what do you mean? Well, the more inward you go to the exact totality, you're going to be dark longer. I thought that's where we are. Well, we are, but just less time. It's the center, though. It's in Texas, right?

Well, there's a line that goes all the way through the United States. Yeah. And it's about 115 miles wide. If you're right in the middle of that, you're going to get dark longer than on the edge like we are. So it's a give and take. We'll get total darkness, but for a less amount of time. That's right, yeah. Okay, I think it's worth it.

Yeah, yeah. You want full darkness. So this will be 100% darkness, but less. Yeah, just for less period of time. John said earlier he doesn't believe it's going to happen. Yeah. He's still on the fence. I mean, I don't understand.

I mean, we're 25 minutes away here. That's a, yeah. And it's going to be fully dark. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Do you not remember it happening? Yeah, but it didn't get, I mean, it got kind of dark. It got completely dark.

Yeah, yeah. During the day. I got bit by a dog. During it? During the eclipse. Animals change when they change, man. Yeah. During the day. I got bit by a dog. During it? During the eclipse. Animals change when they change, man. Yeah. If there's a dog around.

It's not my dog. It was some hippie's dog. It got me. We went down to this farm with a bunch of hippies, and there was a dog, and it was during the eclipse, and he got me. Good. To be fair. What?

Yeah. Just aggressive. Well, it's the- He didn't like it. They're disoriented, Nate. The dogs, yeah. And the hippies. Hippies were

medicinally disoriented. But if there's an animal around here, you guys take cover. Keep an eye on it. I like people that are like, who's the go-to experts on Eclipse? It would be us. It would be us.

I know. These are the guys. Angie gave us a shirt. These are the guys we want to hear from. It's from NASA. It's from NASA. Yeah. Yeah.

So I have a shirt from NASA. So, I mean, if me just wearing this shirt and y'all look like buffoons. You got the glasses? Those glasses look like they came in a Happy Meal, dude. This is the biggest event of our entire lives. He wears a Braves uniform to the clips like it's your team. Let me get some promo in for the Braves, dude. I went to the game this weekend, dude.

He has solar clips and might as well all my Braves gear. Oh, you've doubled up. Yeah, that's the thing. Oh, doubled up is tough. Oh, with the hat, too. I don't see that. I've been avoiding that for a while. Doubling up is tough.

I'm glad you said that because I'll go Cardinals, and I got a lot of athletic stuff, but I rarely go up and down. Yeah. Jersey and the hat, you mean? Because I'm a player. I was going to wear the pants, but they made me take them off, too. Now, that would have been committing. I was going to wear the pants, but they made me take them off too.

Now that would have been committing. This weekend, we were at Sacramento, where the Sacramento Kings play. And so when we go to these places, I like to wear a jacket, like a Kings jacket. We always go into the team stops to see if we can get something. They had the best. You know, I always get asked, See if we can get something. They had the best.

You know, I always get asked what city is your favorite that would be a surprise. Sacramento is probably up there now. I never hear about Sacramento. It's awesome, dude. They have trees downtown. So, like, you're downtown, and there's just, like, a lot of trees. Sequoias. That's where the sequoias are. Yeah.

That's how low the bar is for California. There's trees in the city. Well, it's just such a cool look. Okay. That's where the sequoias are. That's how low the bar is for California. There's trees in the city. Well, it's just a cool look. Okay. Instead of, you know, that's what I

mean. Oh, like in the downtown area. Like in the downtown area. So it'd be like downtown Nashville. If you looked at

the skyline and you just saw like, it looked like a city was built in between trees. Okay. Okay. And so we go,

awesome show. Everybody's wearing King stuff. Nick, no Vicky, he's out we nick gets top to bottom pants it looks he's wearing the warm-up stuff that they would wear so sacramento things nick goes out and nick's a celtics fan the kings play the cics. They're playing on that day we're there. Yeah. In Boston, obviously.

And so they lose, I mean, right before the show starts. They're in a heartbreaker. They were down 19, and they came back and lost by one in Boston. And so Nick's a Celtics fan. You're like, you're wearing all Kings stuff. Just who cares? Yeah. He can't not say it.

Take the night off. He comes in, he goes, ah, Sacramento. How's everything going? Sacramento Kings. He goes, I'm a Celtics fan. And I mean, the booze. It was just, I mean, it was 17,000 people. They just lost.

They're trying to make it to playoffs. It's a really crunch time of a situation. Nick went and shot on their home court. I mean, all this stuff. And also Sacramento has nothing else. They have the Kings. Yeah, they don't have any other sports franchises. I love those cities where, like, they have one.

They need it. They're like the baseball team, right? Yeah. They are? No, the Oakland A's are going to go play there. For they have won. They need it. And they're like – They're the baseball team, right? Yeah. They are? No, the Oakland A's are going to go play there. For a couple years. A couple years. Yeah.

Yeah, they're going to go play in their minor league team before they go to Vegas. They're going to play in a stadium smaller than the one we're in right now probably. Yeah. There's some big games here. There's Mustangs. Greg's great because you know how Kramer, when Jerry said, you want to go do – and he's like, yeah. He's like, I could have said pretty much anything there.

I messaged Greg, said, hey, you want to go to Paducah, look at the eclipse with us? Gave no details. He's like, yeah, I'm in. To the point where I thought, oh, Laura's already reached out to him. And he's just like, I'm committed to this podcast. And that was it. It was nothing else. Say be there, I'll be there.

He's like, I'm already here. No one knew. No one knew besides me that he was even, because I thought Laura talked to him. And then somebody said, I just heard Greg Warren on the radio saying he's going to go watch the eclipse with you guys. Greg Warren's coming? I'm like, yeah. I guess he is. Plugging it.

I needed to be convinced. I think Laura texted, Abigail texted. I was like, and then. I talked to you. And then I was like, oh. I go, I just said, whatever. He had to explain to you what the eclipse is first. Yeah.

Before you committed. You did. Yeah. You took it like it's like a jean fad. Like we were trying to be like, well, these are the jeans everybody's wearing. You're like, I don't know if I get why would I buy those jeans. And that's how you handled this. I had never heard about the eclipse before Laura asked me about it. I didn't know that was happening. Have you heard of an eclipse before Laura asked me about it. I didn't know that was happening. Have you heard of an eclipse?

I saw the last one. Not the Mitsubishi eclipse. Nice, dude. Eclipse, the rapper. All right, who's going to explain it? Which one of the five of us is going to explain it scientifically? You don't know what it is. You, John, because you don't know what it is.

What is it? Well, so this is the moon going in front of the sun. So we're on Earth. Start there. Yeah. I usually only do the moon behind the sun But when the moon That's usually when I go out But I thought if it's in the middle Yeah, I do a moon behind the sun

I do that every year One of them can't happen How does that happen? Does the moon go behind the sun? It never just, the moon never just goes How big would that be if that happened? That would be dead. We'd be dead way before that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would have been like, let's all stay home. It would be a bad event. Yeah. That'd be get right with God. Whatever you need to do. Talk to your family. But the moon should go.

Yeah. Occasionally just be like, I'm going to duck behind. Just keep us on our toes a bit. But when the moon is not full, it's the Earth, moon, sun. Right? Oh, yeah. Why is the moon like this sometimes? Well, I was about to say.

It's on the other side of the Earth. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth is between the moon and the sun, right? Yes. But what is it when it's just not full? Like, isn't that also the Earth blocking? That's what I was asking. Yeah, those are the phases of the moon. I guess I'm asking,

what's the difference? Because it looks like that now, but the opposite. Because the moon is blocking the sun. I understand this one. I don't understand a lunar eclipse as opposed to just the regular... He's Greg's out.

I'm done. Greg's lost one. He goes, Greg's... He has to get up. He's lost one. Greg's comedy's different. He can't go. I just Greg's out. I'm done. We lost one. He goes, Greg has to get up. We lost one. Greg's comedy's different. He can't go. I just looked at it.

Yeah. When y'all see Greg this weekend, if he's not looking right at you, you know why. doing this podcast, just don't look at it. He's going to be on stage. He's looking off to the side.

He's like, he doesn't know where most of the people are sitting. Just a crescent shape in your eyeball. Did you know they're selling fake eyeglasses out there? Did you know they're selling fake eyeglasses

out there? Really? There's fake eclipse glasses. Can you think of a bigger scumbag in the world that's out there dealing fake... Nick Novicki after the long drop-off. Alright, I guess we're going to take those glasses.

Wait, you guys... That was the whole joke. It's not a funny joke, Nate. Yeah, we got it. I can't see it. Why are yours the only ones that are different? No, you can tell when they're fake. Your glasses are the only ones that are different. It says on the glasses, limit continuous use to three minutes or use intermittently for several hours.

Where'd you get your glasses from? John Chris. Oh, dude, don't put me on that. The Great North American Eclipse, Knox County, Indiana. I tried to get some at Cracker Barrel today and they were out. I don't know if you guys have enough. Yeah, you can buy them. You're supposed to say

approved, ISO certified on them. These are like from a Happy Meal. Did you know that? I feel it's getting a little dark. Yeah. Starting to, man. We're only a few minutes away from totality. What time is it? It's little dark. Yeah. Oh, I... Yeah. It's starting to, man. It's starting to. We're only a few minutes away from totality.

Yeah, what time is it? It's 1.45. We're 15 minutes away. All right, but if you said... I mean, it's like... Yeah, this looks like how your moon would look if you look up. But the opposite. I know, but yes, but it's the sun.

But if you had... The sun is the moon. Yeah, like the Mac Tonight guy. The McDonald's guy with the... Yeah, yeah. Wait, but if you said the full... this before yeah like the mac tonight guy the mcdonald's guy with the yeah but wait but if you said the fool the fun part is hearing the animals you hear animals that are fun for me man no it's ptsd there's a bird that flew out there i don't know if he knows they'll they'll land supposedly i think the animals know a couple days before it happens but imagine if you were they say if like if a volcano is about to erupt

the animals will start to just run away from it it's like they feel it in their bones or something uh well you know they had an earthquake in uh new york new jersey new jersey and then uh i saw like one thing about like a dog and you see the dog like before the family even starts yelling the dogs like he already knows just a little bit before well birds are fun I mean it is crazy it's getting dark I uh I said some people are like act like this is not a big deal that's what I did earlier yeah yeah yeah well yeah that's right why do not? I just said it was like people crying. How much do you have going on? What do you got to do? That's what I was going to say, Aaron.

How much do you have going on that you go, oh, gosh, an eclipse. I got to deal with that right now. I can't. What do you want to do? Be on a phone call right now? Do you think people are on the phone right now? Probably, yeah. Do you think there's people that are sending an email at 202 p.m and just to let the person know i was inside yeah i don't care about

stupid things like the eclipse it's got i mean don't you think the amazing part is that we can predict exactly when it's going to happen just like the math of it all yeah trigonometry they did just slightly change it though yeah did they they win this morning? Like last week. Really? There's parts of Missouri now that they said was going to be in it. Now you're going to have to move a little bit. Can you imagine if you had a hotel booked? And Nashville is now getting it in totality.

They just announced it. No, it is 98. They did announce it. We didn't come all the way here and I didn't tell anybody. It is. No. Well, they announced it when we left. It's 98%. I think 95., buddy? It is. No. Well, they announced it when we left. It's 98%.

I think 95. 95. Lydia? 95. 95. She's in the news, so we have a news person that knows the exact answer. Memphis is 97. It's not quite as big a deal.

Like, it happens a lot, but it happens over water most of the time. Because the world is 70% water. I don't know if I believe that. Nate, I did the research on that. We're in a lot of land right here, Greg. The dumbest thing I've ever heard is 70% of water. 70% of the world is water, Nate. You're out of your mind.

Nate, I did the research. How much water do you think is in your body? Are you doubting me on those fake sunglasses things? 10% maybe. 10% maybe water. Because if you doubt me on this, you probably doubt me on the dog story. And that was true. I don the research. How much water do you think is in your body? Are you doubting me on those fake sunglasses things? 10% maybe. 10% maybe water. Because if you doubt me on this, you probably doubt me on the dog story. And that was true. I don't know.

I don't. I never believed the dog story. Where did he bite you at? Yeah. I think he was on the arm. Did he think you were? Is it because you look like a mailman? I mean, I'd say I'm friendly like a mailman.

And I'm proud of that. I mean, I'd say I'm friendly like a mailman. And I'm proud of that. How many eclipses do y'all think happened this century? I got the number here. 24. What does that say? This is over worldwide.

Over land or over water? No, anywhere. Anywhere, it's every 18 months. Anywhere, it's every 18 months. There's a Bible prophecy about it. So, 2000. 150. In 100 years?

This century, 24 years. 224 solar eclipses. On Earth. Yeah, I mean, a few more. Yeah, I think, all right, do Venus. When Earth, you don't mean... I'm going to go with 8. Yeah, I think. All right, do Venus. When Earth, you don't meet. I'm going to go with eight. Yeah.

I think Venus gets eight. You think they care in Venus as much as we do? No. I got the stats here. They have more moons, right? So it probably happens more often. There's a couple of planets that don't have eclipses because they don't have moons. I got it here somewhere.

If anybody cares. But they have the sun. Jupiter has like over 100 moons now, doesn't it? Oh, Venus has none. They don't have a moon. Oh, they don't? Oh, then they're probably super jealous. So is Venus just light all the time? I guess, but we'll see it once it gets total.

Venus? Yeah, we'll see Venus once it gets totality because it's near the sun. Can you look at it when it's totality? Can you look without your sunglasses? Oh, yeah, you can. I'm not gonna. I'm gonna risk it.

It's completely dark. I'll have it on standby. It's definitely getting dark. You guys heard about the Bailey's beads? Nope. Like, right before it happens, you get a lot of sparkling on the edge of the sun. That doesn't impress Aaron.

He's not impressed by that. No, he's not. I just don't think I'll cry when it happens. That's all I'm saying. Did you book appointments during it? Are you going to a 145 movie? Yeah. Well, what did you say the main one was the biggest one is the what if you had the

get right with god one what does that one called the rapture oh yeah yeah i don't know what you're talking about this you're like one of them is like we got to get right with god this is like do we just oh no that's that was your theory of the sun going between the moon and the earth yeah yeah so this one maybe we'll just all right about this? Hey, let me ask you this, though. If this is the rapture, are y'all too fine finishing this podcast out? Yeah, man. I'm good, man. Yeah. Y'all wrap it up for us, right?

Just wrap it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As if you and Greg... Yeah. There's going to be some changes. Yeah, yeah. All right. You're not even going to mention us anymore.

There's going to be some changes in the name, man. Welcome to Greg land. Just like that. Let me give you a list of sponsors. Dude, do the ad reads still? We'll do whatever we want. Yeah, we'll do whatever we want. No ad reads at all.

We're doing a different pod. Very different. Hey, I'm Jillian. And I'm Patrick. And together we make the podcast True Crime Obsessed. If you love documentaries the way we love documentaries, you might be interested in our show because we recap all the documentaries that you're watching.

We've covered just about every true crime case you can imagine. We're talking the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker, the Ted Bundy tapes. What else? The Turpin 13. Yes. With the amazing sisters who basically tell the story. The girl in the picture.

Yes. All the documentaries you love to talk about with your friends. We're your friends now. We're the friends you talk about that stuff with. Yes. All the documentaries you love to talk about with your friends, we're your friends now. We're the friends you talk about that stuff with. Yeah. We're True Crime Obsessed Podcast. Search for us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. All right, so how crazy is this, though?

I think. The sun's 400 times bigger than the moon, but the sun is 400 times further away from the earth than the moon, so that's what makes it look like the same size. Right. Oh, come on, Greg. I did. Yeah.

So it should be. It shouldn't be a big deal. It should be just a little speck. Yeah. Because it's so far, that's why it looks like they're even. Right? Yeah. Because the sun's so far away.

It's so much bigger, but it's so much further away. Yeah, it's crazy. It only has that amount of sun, but it's still fully light. It's almost pretty powerful, dude. It really gets it going. That's why Nashville, they're not even going to know anything happened. 95%. What if you were, before you knew what this was, let's say the 1800s, what did you think was happening?

No, I read this thing. Columbus, so Christopher Columbus lands in- You're killing me here. He lands in jamaica okay is that one of your deals yeah i'm not used to people doing research no go ahead tell it go ahead tell it i'm showing up to paducah with nothing i appreciate it send me a message you say paducah eclipse i'm not showing up with nothing you're right i'm generations from christopher columbus he heard this word about my good my great grandfather uh no so columbus is in jamaica and correct me if i'm wrong here bates um and he's stranded in jamaica and the natives at first are real nice to him and uh they're

they're taking care of him and they're they're feeding him and his troops but they get sick of him he's there for a long time and he knew there was going to be an eclipse. So the eclipse happened. He told them that was God's way of punishing them for not giving him food. And they gave him food again. Yeah. Look how mad Brian is for stepping on that. No, no, no.

I'm glad. Somebody else. That was going to be his closer. Nah, sorry. No, no, no. We were going to do it so much later. How did Columbus know that the eclipse was going to happen? Science.

Yeah. I know you don't believe in science back then, dude. They didn't have science. They didn't have science back then. Yeah, well, I mean, it is. If you knew so much about eclipses, how could you get stranded in Jamaica would be my question. That's true. And how did he think he had already gone around the globe?

If he thought the Earth was a different size than it actually is. But he still had the trigonometry. What did he find out of Christopher Columbus? You're like,

he made, he did two circles around the Gulf of Mexico and that's all he did. What if that really came? That's what we end up finding out. And he goes,

this guy's out of his mind. Well, he also was kind of out of his mind. Now that I, I didn't think of this, he thought he was God for a while. Oh, really?

Yeah. He had like a, And he wasn't? Koresh type, not that I while. Oh, really? Yeah, he had like a Koresh type. Not that I'm aware of. He had like a Koresh thing going on. But yeah, he was tricking the natives. And that was a lunar eclipse. Oh, it was? Yeah, he told them the moon would turn red.

See, you added something to this. Hey, we got to be prepared. If we're taking this over, this is the energy we need. It is starting to get dark. need it is starting to get darker it definitely is starting to get darker there was also a battle I think I talked about this

a couple weeks ago a five year battle between two warring tribes and when a solar eclipse happened they both freaked out so much they put down their swords

and like this is God telling us we need to make peace really and they just stopped it and there's been peace ever since yeah

I think I'm gonna make some phone calls before this happens you think in yeah in war make peace. Really? And they just stopped it. And there's been peace ever since? Yeah. I think I'm going to make some phone calls before this happens. Do you think in, yeah, in war, you know, in the war areas, Ukraine and Russia, do you think they're, they probably lay it down right now? Man, that'd be hard to say. Do you think crime goes down during the eclipse? Like, would you, if you're a criminal in the middle of doing it, are you like, you still have to go like, come on you still have to go like yeah let's stop it's the perfect time to steal some stuff to be honest with you it could be and if you've seen if you're older and seen this is your 15th eclipse and you don't even care anymore yeah man in aught seven uh they knocked over a walrus yeah it was hard

for us to get you to come out here because you... Been there, done that. You're like, I think the last one was a couple weeks ago. He barely remembers time anymore. That's another reason I'm glad you're with us. I'm no longer the old guy

when you're with us. Yeah. I mean, you still are, but... You still are. Just not the oldest. So the eclipse here in Paducah actually happens at 2-0-0-50.

So almost 2-0-1. So we have about four minutes. Four minutes. Four minutes, three minutes. I feel like if it was right now, I would be like,

something's happening. Oh, yeah. Like, you had no idea. Look at this. I would be like, something's going on. Oh, me too. It would have taken me

another three minutes. Maybe another, right now? Yeah, I would be like, what's up? Yeah. What about these lights right here aaron if i find out there's an open mic going on right now would you go do it of course dude yeah you can get me up they would do it they would do it on the uh you like who goes up during the oh yeah that's it doesn't address it because he right before he goes up because

wouldn't be funny if i don't address it yeah when i'm doing it that's what a comic would say i did a open mic nashville years ago full-on crazy incident guy with a kilt went insane it was like a 30 minute disruption and i was up next and i was so young in the comedy i just went up and didn't address it at all yeah i was like, I don't even know what I would do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do that now. Yeah. So this is called the Great American Eclipse

because so many people are in the path. The one from seven years ago, 12 million people lived in it. This one, 31 million people. Oh, wow. I do like, though, we could have stayed in Nashville. It'd be like this right here. Now I can tell.

Oh, it would? You don't think it'd be completely dark like this right here. Now I can tell. You don't think it'd be completely dark? No, I don't. It says 98%. Someone said that's 95%. I bet this is 95% right now. Yeah, it's worth it for that last 5%. Yeah.

Should we turn these lights off? Maybe. Is it going to look crazy on the camera if they get turned off? See what it looks like? Yeah, we're going to look and see. Okay, we're totally done. No, I like it. Oh, that's good.

Oh, wow. Yeah, it looks about 6.30 p.m. right now. But it's not. It's a weird 6.30. Yeah, they say something about the shadows are sharper, I think, is what it is. Whatever y'all need to do for it to look good. Look at your shadow. Look, your shadow is is very Mine's still pretty

Huh? Lobbish Yours is? Yeah I don't know I think that's you That's what I'm saying I want to be You would want to be in the

In the guy in history that knows about it But other people don't know about it Then the tricks you can play Dude you could That's the best. I brought these, too. This is another way to look at it. You're supposed to... It's not working. You hold a note card

and you hold that up. It's got a pinhole in it. Maybe because it's two. Now it's probably two. I'll have to wait until it gets more sunlight. You're supposed to be able to see it through there. Oh, that's kind of cool. That is scary. Thank you for coming out tonight you made it like you brought that like you're like i went to the eclipse uh storm brought these you're like the no car for everyone that's really sweet right it

doesn't work but we'll get away no you it's on the edge i don't think you need glasses anymore huh i would think something it's well Huh? I would think something's happening. Something's happening. Oh, yeah, dude. But I wouldn't have any context to explain. Oh, man. I'm like you, man. Right about now, I'd be like, hey, man.

I would be calling my parents. Yeah. There's just a little sliver of the sun still visible. It looks like, well, it's dark. If you look back that way, it's dark. There's a plane. So it was interesting to see. There was a flight.

You think that's that Delta flight. So there was a Delta flight. That might be it. Could be. And there was a Delta flight that was flying. People booked it to fly the path. Flying with it in darkness. Everybody's on it to see the eclipse.

Aaron's trying to get to a week. Is that Venus right there? Aaron's on the way back. I think that is Venus. That's Venus right there. No. Yeah, yeah. I see Venus all the time.

It's one of the points. Are you guys going no sunglasses now? I'm going to run to the bathroom real fast. I'll be right back. No, paint, paint. Oh, you can see the shape of the moon now. Oh, man. I mean, look at it.

It's crazy. That is unbelievable. Wow. It's crazy. And when it finally gets fully dark. Oh, here it goes, man. If you're listening at home, it's getting dark. There is no way.

It's completely over. Can you get it with the camera? Wow. Oh, you got a camera. All right. There it is. They know what they're doing. It looks so close.

It's complete. It looks insane. If you're at home and you're going like, what is an eclipse? Yeah. Nate, describe it. Yeah. It looks like. The thing you were talking about, the fire coming out's beads yeah yeah yeah the moon is dead center of the sun wow do you hear crickets

chirp chirp chirp chirp hear the birds chirping like it's yeah fireworks fireworks fireworks we are still in Kentucky we are in Paducah happy new year brother you still got any left over oh I got them bro what if it was a SWAT raid

and this would be a good time to do it they're like well they're not going to think we're going to come to yeah I think that was that Delta plane, man. They put us on the side where all our backs are to it. There's two planes. There's another one there.

And they're flying there. That is. Yeah, you hear. It looks more like a rock. It looks more like a rock than like perfect round. Yeah. I mean, really crazy. I know we're not talking, but...

What's Dusty doing right now? You know, if you put your glasses on, you can't even see it. Yeah, yeah. You can't even see it. I tried to look earlier. Dusty's underground right now. Yeah. No, I know.

It's, yeah. I do think you see Venus. If that's Venus, you see. Okay, yeah, with the glasses you can't see anything. The star. It's the star. That one single star. I thought that was the Delta plane, man.

It just hovered. It's not moving. Yeah. I really thought that was the Delta plane. You think if you're on that Delta plane, you're hoping the pilots, you're like, I hope they're not looking at it. Yeah. You know? Like you see them looking back and you're hoping the pilots, you're like, I hope they're not looking at it. Yeah. You know?

Like, you see them looking back, and you feel your stuff start veering a little bit. But it's only visible out of one side. All right, here he comes. Oh, it depends on how they're going. It's moving away. Oh, it's moving away. Is the sunglasses on? Glasses on? I feel like it's going backwards.

Glasses up. Oh, it's going the wrong direction. Yeah. I'll tell you what, it felt like the sun did a... That is... I mean, the precision. Don't look at it. You can't look at it anymore.

Don't look at it anymore. No, but I looked at it before when it was like that, man. Yeah. You okay? I don't know. When does it kick in? The next day. That's what they said.

The next day is I'll be blind? That is Venus. Look, Venus is going away. I'm going to see some stuff today, man. We saw Venus. Yep. How about that? Then some stuff today, man. We saw Venus. Yep. How about that? Then it's just daytime again.

Wow. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah. That's awesome, man. Man, I believe it. So this one. You're already over it.

It's not done yet. I mean, Aaron's got to call it 205. It's barely a sliver, and you're you're just you're through guys gotta get to that open mic yeah because all right you think aaron in normal life right now you would uh be done pumping gas and then go in the store like maybe you would have stayed at your truck uh just because you'd been like look at look at that. And then once it clicked, you'd go inside and then be frustrated that the guy's outside looking and you're not inside. Let's go.

And so you think you would eat the donuts. You'd eat one pack and then go, I'm not paying for both these packs. I'll pay for one pack. I'll tell you what, I'd already be back inside by now. Oh, yeah. Yeah, if I were just at home. I'd go, all right. How do you gasp at the iPhone and then this?

Which one do you use more often? The sun. I know, but this is just, yeah. Yeah, that's a good one. The sun is a great one. Much more often. Yeah, the sun's involved. Yeah.

It's pretty. Yeah, yeah. It's just. It is amazing. I don't want to sound like I'm. This is pretty cool right here. Yeah. Yeah. That is amazing. I don't want to sound like I'm... This is pretty cool right here. Yeah. That is amazing.

This is a weird... Yeah. This is not your normal dusk. This is your favorite part of the eclipse. I think so. Yeah. The wind. The guys being together.

Yeah. What's unique to me is, for some reason, everybody thinks they need to be... What's unique about an eclipse? Go ahead. You can't set them up like that, Joe. You just got to get into the comments. Tell me what to do. What I think is unique.

Yeah, thank you. What I think is unique is everybody decided they need an open field to see. It's up there. You could be, you don't, everybody's like in an open field to see it It's up there. You could be... Everybody's in an open field to see it. You want to be out in it. Where do you want to be? In the trees? You could be down in your house and just look.

In the front yard? It's up there. That's where it is. I know. We need this whole field. John wants to be somewhere where people recognize him. Yeah. We could have done this from Chick-fil-A, guys. No one's looking at the eclipse.

Is that John Crist? Look at me. Look at me. Don't we recognize him? I mean, it's still like... Yeah. It's like just a sliver of sun. Yeah, it goes for like another couple hours.

It does? As it gradually expands back out. Or at least another hour and a half. Yeah. So it's going to be weird for another hour and a half? We're in the eclipse for... It'll just be this. Yeah.

Yeah, when we were leaving, it was kind of doing it. A little chilly. But the total... It'll gradually get brighter. I think it's 3 o'clock is when Maine... 3 o'clock Eastern. 2 o'clock or around there is when Maine sees the last total in the country. And they're the last ones.

Yeah. And then it's just in the ocean. Out in the ocean. Out in the ocean. Oh, my God, Jack. You know how if when people see like a UFO, then like 50 years later, like maybe I didn't see it. Yeah.

You know, they're like, all right. Yeah. When we're like, in 10 years, we'll years we're like no i'm pretty sure yeah like no i didn't i do i doubt i doubt all kinds of stuff thank you when i think of a joke i just i'm like man maybe i got that so did that really happen you tell a story you change it so it works on stage and you tell it enough times you start to just believe that that's really what happened you know yes you know i'm talking about my whole act what you change the story you change it to make it work on stage or something you change like you combine two people into one or something like that yeah and you tell it enough times that just becomes the memory i got i got uh i got it was a

bad deal for me on that that whole combining two people into one Birbiglia in one of his big specials I introduced him to his wife I introduced Mike Birbiglia to his wife and he had to combine two people so he said this guy Andy introduced him to his wife and it was me I did

because he had more story with Andy than you I don't know maybe he liked Andy better or something I introduced him to his wife and he was and i'm watching the thing he didn't tell me about this he's like yeah and then my friend andy introduced him i felt like well you gotta be kidding me i paid for this are they still together yeah but if did he have more with andy like does andy in the act more where you were just not enough in the story to yeah i, I think Andy was probably the more... There was something about a car accident and...

Yeah, yeah. Andy, yeah. He would have had to have introduced you in some other way first. Yeah. Not to defend Birbiglia. I was a minor character. I was a minor character.

Yeah, you were just not enough that you go... I mean, that's like my McDonald's... Louis Gomez? The Louis Gomez that took a bite out of Louis' burger. It was soda. I told gomez took a bite out of mcdonald lewis's burger it was soda i told soda to take a bite and because i was my idea for the prank but then i told soda i go take a bite because he was like sitting next to him and then so he took a bite of the burger and then sodas uh yeah cut out of it at the joke i i put him in the joke but when i think of that story I don't think I know Soder did it

yeah I just did it as just on stage you're like you can't be mentioning too many all kinds of other details yeah yeah

I tried it and I would say it so my buddy you know and then you're just like I just need to say I took it and get to the point because the point of it

you gotta look at the story and be like does the point involve that that and it doesn't the point of it, you've got to look at the story and be like, does the point involve that? And it doesn't. The point of it is him thinking they did it. No extraneous characters or whatever. But they say in a memory, if it's a story from a childhood, you are remembering your last time you told it.

So you're not remembering the event. You're remembering the last time you told it. So you're not remembering the event. You're remembering the last time you told it. That's how your memory works. So if you tell it enough, it's like that really happened, but it didn't happen. Telephone effect or whatever. It's Venus, man.

Well, there's a plane that's going that way. I fell for that already. It's Venus. No, no, there's a plane going that way. It is crazy to see all the planes fun. If you're on the wrong side, it's like the Grand Canyon. You're like, look out over your left. You see the Grand Canyon.

You're on the right. You're like, well, I got nothing. Yeah, they shouldn't even announce that when you do that. They still do that? I think so. Like, they should just go like, you know, because they didn't feel. I mean, everybody on the other side is like, man. Or just fly through the middle of it.

Give everybody a good view. Yeah. Give everybody a good view. Do a little diversion. It's big enough. Yeah. That's right. It's huge.

The Vegas landing is like that. If you're on the left, you can see the whole strip. If you're on the right, you can see nothing. Yeah. Can you imagine the guy on the right for the first time saying, isn't this city a big deal at all? Yeah. This place stinks. So the next eclipse, eclipse do you know Greg 2045 44 44 you're both right there's one in 45 to 45 you're gonna have to go to Portland

you're gonna go to Oregon or the Pacific I looked into it probably too much into it probably too much. Go ahead. I mean, we both got it though, right? Our pod's going to be huge by then. Our pod's going to be huge by then. Is it on New Year's or something? How are they both right?

Well, it depends. We're talking about total eclipse. Alaska gets one in 2033. Oh. Yeah, but not total? No, total, but Alaska's the only one that gets it. Yeah, it's not kind of. And then one in 2044, it's just three states, Montana and the Dakotas that get it. That's good for them, because I don't think they've had.

No. We've gotten most of it. They didn't even get this one, right? And I do think we're done. I think, like, I don't think I would go to that one. Because I think you'd be like, you know, I've done two of them. I really remember both of them. We went all out.

We went all out for that second one. I'll tell you, the one in Nashville, though, got way darker. Did it? I don't know. Look, if we can – I have a video of me hitting a golf ball during it. I will have to find that video. If we find it, we'll put it in right here, and you can see how dark it went. You posted it online, so we should be able to find it.

Yeah. But it was completely dark. I hit a tee-up, hit a golf ball. You heard crickets. You heard—it was insane. It was insane. It could be that we're on an artificial field Yeah

Nate's dad said that there would be artificial crickets But the one in 2045 Goes all across the whole country Starts in California Goes all the way down to Miami Oh really? So that's a good one In 45

2045 yeah Yeah You and I will be around for that one, Greg? Yeah, y'all will be. Yeah, 20 years. I mean, you'll be, yeah, I'll be 65. Yeah, you'll be Brian's age. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I'll be almost caught up to y'all now. I'll be there. Greg, you'll be plugging along. I'll be 75. You'll be 75 on the road doing it. Oh, yeah, man. I'll be 75. You'd be out on the road. Oh, yeah, man.

I'll be more than likely on a cruise ship somewhere. Brian, what is supposed to happen with this note card? Because you seem pretty upset. I mean, you were excited to bring them out. I think you were supposed to do it a while ago. Did you spend more money because they put the hole in the note card? No, I did that. I could afford them to do it.

I did it myself. Where's the hole? No, if you held it up, it looks like somebody's holding a note card? No, I did that. I could afford them to do it. I did it myself. Where's the hole? No, if you held it up, it looks like somebody's holding a note card over a... Over a black tablecloth. I don't think your hole is big enough. They said a pinhole. They said take a thumbtack. That's definitely a pinhole.

Pins have gotten so much bigger these days. No, that's a pinhole. The other thing they said, take your fingers and do like this, and then you would somehow see the yeah this is the see the eclipse people yeah these are all the people yeah what do you see i don't open the doors to the wet yeah i don't know i'm not look up and see it something wrong what if you didn't have glasses how is it fully light though right now well i think it's mostly... It's not fully. It's still got... Still weird shadows. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's just a little thumbnail of the sun still,

but, you know, the sun gets some work done. Hey, I'm Jillian. And I'm Patrick, and together we make the podcast True Crime Obsessed. If you love documentaries the way we love documentaries, you might be interested in our show because we recap all the documentaries that you're watching. We've covered just about every true crime case you can imagine.

We're talking the Hatchet-Wielding Hitchhiker, the Ted Bundy tapes. What else? The Turpin 13. Yes. With the amazing sisters who basically tell the story. The girl in the picture. Yes.

All the documentaries you love to talk about with your friends. We're your friends now. We're the friends you talk about that stuff with. Yeah. We're True Crime Obsessed Podcast. Stitch us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. There's a city in Illinois that got both

sorry, John. Full-time eclipses. Oh, really? It's like an X. Oh, it's right in the center. What's going on there right now? Both full-time eclipses? Not like they work full time But I mean You mean like the last one

And this one Yeah 17 and this one Yeah Because I read something That said The exact spot won't get A total eclipse

But once every 375 years But then I sort of read What you said According to this Who even knows that No I think Because I saw 375

My bad I gotta be I gotta be loyal to you Do they ever When they say According to this. Who even knows that? No, I think there's, because I saw it. I dropped around 375. No, my bad. I got to be loyal to you. Do they ever? Yeah, we're going to be in this together. When they say stuff like that, like they won't get it for another 375 years, do they ever go, do they ever show documentation of someone going, this won't happen again until 2024? Like, do you know what I mean?

Oh, were they wrong? Like when they say, well, like. They're not wrong. Like they're saying 375, so the next one won't be for 375 years. So, I mean, in 375 years, are they like, we called this eclipse? Are they calling them that far ahead? I think so. I think you can just call them in theory.

You can just call them forever. How in theory? Indefinitely. Because you just know what's happening? Yeah, because you just know. Well, but no. You can predict the movement of everything. But did you read this, Bates? I don't want to take it from you. I don't know what's happening. Yeah, because you just know. You can predict the movement of everything. But did you read this, Bates?

I don't want to take it from you. I don't know. Tell me. The moon is getting an inch farther from the earth every year. Good. So at some point, there won't be any eclipses. It'll be too far. You're going to get partial.

It'll be behind it? That's what you're saying. Eventually, it's going behind it. How does it keep going? I don't know how to tell you. eventually it's going behind it how does it keep going i don't know how to tell you it's not going behind it greg if it keeps moving an inch at some point i think at some point it's got to get behind it yeah i guess in a philosophical way you're probably philosophical way you tell me it's going an inch is the sun moving now the sun stays still the moon is moving we're all moving but wouldn't it hit it yeah i mean no we're going around it i think the moon's going around us yeah but we're

going around the sun yeah you're right yeah you're right you're right and so the sun is moving what is it why do you think everybody gets a moon well the a sun? The sun's cruising. Yeah. But we're going around it. Right. So it's not moving relative to us, but it's going pretty fast through space. Yeah. How do they time that? And the sun looks like the same on all sides, so how do they know it's moving?

Well, you got an assistant coach with a... Yeah. Larry, what'd you get yeah i tell you what we are on a football field we could all run a 40 i'll do it yeah cat williams or tennis shoes just in case we would yeah i'm 40 it won't be good wait do you think the big like big eclipse like if they're like marketing back in 2017 they were like hey another one's coming, back in 2017, they were like, hey, another one's coming in, like, a couple years. They were like, hey. Like, there could be another one next year. But they were like, hey, say it's not for a thousand years.

Shut up. And now look at us. Yeah, they don't release it. We took the buzz. We're out here. They're like, hey, we got another one actually coming up next year. That's a businessman thinking it. Yeah.

Hey, let's try to. No, no, there's going to be another one. Would you shut up? Yeah. You know how much money we got invested in these glasses? Yeah. A fake eclipse. Fake glasses.

Because the last one, we didn't know about another one. Right? They weren't like, oh, there's another one in a couple years. No, they told it. They knew it was going to happen. Yeah, they said it. But you're not thinking that far ahead. I mean, that's seven years later.

Yeah, they tell you. Nobody thinks that far ahead. You can't make this one. There's a video clip. There was an eclipse in the 70s or 80s and there's a newscaster and he signs off

and he says, the next eclipse is coming in 2017. May it shine on a world of peace or something. And that didn't happen. The eclipse of the peace.

But they predicted it that far out. When did he say that? 70s or 80s, I think. Oh, yeah. The Mayans predicted one that happened in 1991 no way yeah they knew the math they probably predicted a million old there were I think that's like you know what I mean they don't talk about their misses yeah and they they go they also

said 90 91 92 93 94 95 it's like the Stephen A. Smith of a clip. Yeah. I remember my brother told me, beer pong in college, you just call every shot. You call your shot every time. Nobody remembers the ones that you missed. Yeah. But when you get it, they're like, oh, my gosh. I think Babe Ruth did that.

I think so. I think he did that a bunch of times. His teammates are like, yeah, man, every inning. Every bat. There's a big debate of whether that actually happened because there's no video of it. It's all just anecdotal. 1,800.

It's from 1920s, but yeah. I think it was a picture. Like a photo? Yeah, what video were they having back then? You were there. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. So it's all, there's some debate whether he actually called a shot.

Yeah. And calling it. 55, John. There's two. No, I thought that was a joke between them. I'm 55, John. There's two? No, I thought that was a joke between them. I don't know about this joke. Of what? That he's old.

He said I was at the Babe Ruth. What are your eyes not working? I mean, look over here. He looked at the eclipse too much. He does. Out of your mind, the one guy that stared at the sun with no glasses? He saw the last one in 1983. Man, you guys, so tomorrow's when it kicks in, the blindness?

Yeah, you go to bed tonight, you'll be fine, and then you wake up tomorrow. Is that what they say? Oh, really? You looked at it? I think I did. I don't know. I did. We'll go find out tomorrow.

You'll be all right. We'll give you an idea. What are you seeing right now? Huh? No, I see all you guys. Oh, he's lost his hearing, too. That's the cauliflower. So you would really go, if you stared at it the whole time, you'd wake up tomorrow, you'd be blind.

I would say so. No. But what if you stared at the regular sun? You'd be in trouble, for sure. How? There was a woman who had like a crescent-shaped burn on her eyeballs from the last one. Don't tell. There's teenagers that will think that's cool. To have a crescent-shaped burn on her eyeballs from the last one. Don't tell. There's teenagers who will think that's cool,

to have a crescent-shaped burn on their eyeballs. You used to look at the sun all the time as a kid, though. Yeah, you'd see how long you could stare at it. Yeah, you'd see how long you could look at it. Yeah, I mean, it's got to be. 30, 40 seconds, you know? Yeah. Maybe not that long, but.

Yeah. There was a couple of references to eclipses even in the Bible. Do you know that, John? Let's not do this. Well, I bet there was. Yeah, I would think there would be. I'm just saying you know the Bible. Yeah.

No, there is. I watched a couple of conspiracies on TikTok. These weren't even conspiracy videos I watched. One's in the Old Testament. One's in the New Testament. Yeah. Joshua asked God to stop the sun. Put the sun, put the moon in front of the sun, right?

I don't know if that was specific, but anyway, it happened. And they think maybe that was an eclipse. They can look. Is that, does Dad know? Move the sun back. Yeah. Because the day wouldn't be longer so they could fight in the war, right? Yeah.

Maybe they knew about something before it happened. Like Columbus. Yeah. And then I met you a few weeks ago when Jesus was crucified.

It got dark for like three hours and there was an eclipse in 33 AD. Really? Oh, really? So, who knows? Who knows?

I don't think you followed that up with who knows. I think it's the opposite of who knows. You're right, you're right. I don't know about the Bible, but, you know, what do they know? I do have a couple of these comments. If we can't get to all of them, I'd like to read. Well, we can start now that the eclipse is. Well, I'm glad we did this.

I hope I didn't feel like I was. No. Well, the fact that you said that is weird. You know what? I'll look back on it, and I'm glad we did it. I almost didn't come to that. I guess I'm glad I came. You were already here.

Yeah, I got down a little early. I thought there was going to be big traffic and I was going to be late for the eclipse and all that kind of stuff. How long drive is it to St. Louis? Three hours. Oh, that's not bad. Not bad at all. Would you like us to meet more in Paducah for this podcast with you?

Yeah, I wouldn't mind if we did if you're here. Is this the first time on the road? Zany's. Well, yeah. Is this the first time on the road? Zany's Yeah This is the first podcast Really on the road Outside Outside of Nashville What do we have to do to impress Weber?

Earthquake or something? What do you think about earthquake? Do you actually enjoy it? I've never felt an earthquake You feel like it's a massage I wish more of that happened He mentioned volcano I think he'd be impressed

Volcano A volcano would blow my mind Yeah Yeah Yeah I mean we'll go do one in a hurricane I don't care How many eclipses have you seen?

This is the second one Okay Yeah One was enough Well the first one he said He wasn't impressed with I think I remember The first one he said he wasn't impressed with. I think I remember.

Dude, the first one got completely dark. All I said was that I didn't become overcome with emotion the first time and cry. Because I saw people crying when it happened. Where did you see people cry? I saw online videos of people crying. That's all. No one cried. That's a lunatic song. I cried a little bit because that dog bit me.

Yeah. Well, yeah. Did you not get to enjoy it I cried a little, but it's because that dog bit me. Yeah. Well, yeah. Did you not get to enjoy it? Because a dog, did a dog really bite you? He did bite me, but it was like in this period. Yeah. Like it was still going on, but not the total. Yeah.

It was a little closer to the total. And I was just kind of walking back and the dog just walked up and bit me. Wow. Yeah. And what'd they say? Nothing? They kind of weren't all that. They were like like

i can't you tell me i don't remember what i fought for y'all's freedom because it's the hippies and you and you were in vietnam i vietnam i don't think we were fighting for our freedom in vietnam i don't know weren't they against the one of the hippies against me yes they were against it that's what i They were. A lot of them were there. Yeah. I wasn't. I was born around Vietnam. I did, you know, I went to the military academy for a year.

So, yeah. I mean. Yeah, Nate. Dropped out. Yeah. Yeah. You took a computer class. Huh?

You took a computer class there. I did. Did I mention that on the podcast? Yeah, because Nate doesn't believe. I don't believe that you had computers back then. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I don't believe that you had computers back then. Oh, okay. I do remember a computer. I remember you had to go to the computer lab to do your papers.

Everybody didn't have laptops. And the labs would regularly, like, there'd be a problem and you'd lose your paper. I remember losing a paper one time. I had to do it over. It was real stressful. There was no cloud back then. No. And for the record, Greg and I were talking through Facebook Messenger, and I said, hey, man, here's my phone number. I send him my phone number,

and I'm like, you know, we can text when we get there. About this trip. Facebook Messenger? Yeah, they don't know. It's all text to them. Well, but generally, wouldn't you say generally speaking, then someone would share their phone number and say, okay?

He's just like, all right, man, cool. I still don't have his phone number. I'll give you my number, babe. No, don't. You don't want that. We're cracking ice. You don't think so? Yeah, yeah. It'll be a mistake.

It's just like asking for gigs and stuff like that. Asking for gigs. He goes, what do you do with these night gigs driving? Do you just leave early or what? Who books that? Yeah, yeah. A lot of who books that. Yeah, yeah.

All right. We'll start with you guys' podcast with your comments. I messed it up, but that was funny to say start. This has been going on forever. We'll start with somebody else's podcast. Jen Holiday. Hey, Bear. Just got home from Nate's Sacramento show, which was awesome.

At the show, I repeated a line as I laughed and had a flash of air and leaning in close and saying, enough. I only did it once and laughed even harder. Question for the pod. When you say things about the city you're in, good or bad, how much of it is experience versus research or even universal? Thank you guys for the quality and educational entertainment. Mm-hmm. Yeah, we— It's just walking around if you see stuff.

I mean, y'all used to do a lot more of that. Y'all did a very funny thing where y'all—I always thought was a good idea y'all were driving around do you still do that on your shows no because you guys roasted me so i guess i don't do it i i when these guys get to you yeah yeah that's your jerks i actually liked i actually thought that was a good idea we drove around i actually thought that was good i think it's a lot of work to have to do that for every show but a rental car and i think yeah yeah that's it i did think that was a lot of work to have to do that for every show. And a rental car in every city. Yeah, yeah. I did think that was a good idea. You go around.

Because, I mean, I think that's a great thing. Drive around the city. Yeah. Drive around the city. Then we were like, oh, we're going to, like, Rockford, Illinois. And then, like, we're back in Rockford. What do we do now? You said everything there is to say about Rockford.

Yeah. I always thought that was funny because they were like, if you watch the show, we said we got there like four different ways. Oh, yeah. Because the Tour of the City video, we're driving and we're like, we just got here. And then we took a tour bus. And then we were like, you know. But that airport. I flew it.

He made fun of the airport, too. So it'd be like, how did they get here? There's a lot going on. You're like, got to y'all's airport, man. Didn't we just see you driving? You are driving here. Why? Yeah, it is.

But you do want to, you could be like that airport for every city. That's true. And pretty much like, what was it that always used to do? What's the roast master? What's his name? Jeff Ross. He goes, man, this club is going to be awesome when they finish it.

Yeah, you can say that anywhere. You can say that anywhere. It goes for everything. I think people do, people, the one that they do, sometimes they're an ass. They have a comic, they have a joke about the bad town.

So they will go and go, hey, what is your town that you make fun of in this city? What's the redneck part of town? Yeah, if you have a joke about it, so then you say that town and everybody goes crazy. Oh, yeah. But, yeah, it's, you know, on my shows,

we have Joey McCullough host the shows, and he's really good about saying something about the town. It's like Sacramento or whatever. I try to, like, if there's something that pops up, Sacramento or whatever. I try to, like, if there's something that pops up, there's been times, like I've made fun of Birmingham's interstates or something once, and that did great. And so it's like if it happens, it happens.

But I don't try to force it. It's hard. I mean, you kind of get in that city. You've got to show. It's hard to – that's what I imagine. Y'all doing that would be it's a point where you know like it's a little too much well i just been to zany so many times you know how many times i've heard the joke i had some hot chicken today and then i was on the i was in the

bathroom later heard that a thousand fifty different times it's like i get it too yeah yeah but i mean that's we get it because you hear it all the time but the crowd is likes hearing it sure i would do i'm not gonna do it what you should just do the time, but the crowd likes hearing it. Sure. I would do – I'm not going to do it. What? You should just do it. It's good to be in Paducah. I just got to visit the home of the child I sponsor here. There you go.

There you go. It's $40 a month sending out to Paducah. Yeah, let's go, dude. Let's go. Thank you, dude. Hey, high five. Can you not see this? Please, please.

Because it's like a third world country. It's good, man. I like it. That's good. I've never heard that. I'd go high five and you didn't see it. Dude, my heart skipped a beat when you held that hand up. Man, I looked at the sun.

I told you, man. It's already kicking in. I think I've done, well, the only one I did, I did, because we did do it, I did Habitat for Humanity by church in Des Moines. And I told, and I said that in Des Moines once. Like we had a mission trip to here. Yeah. Yeah. I go, yeah, we did have're by church in Des Moines. And I said that in Des Moines once. Like we had a mission trip to here. Yeah, I go, yeah, we did have a mission trip to Des Moines. And so that's very funny to say. You can say that in any town.

Because whatever reason you're going, but we did it. We were like, yeah, I've been up here once. But it's always like, I go to like the West Palm Beach Improv, which is like, you can't trash on that. Like you go, oh, I can't wait to get out of here like this is an unbelievable well you make fun of it being old old people yeah yeah old people this comic spider on your came to me hey look at him get it on the back get it oh yeah damn i came out in the dark that's just normal stuff man you get old spiders just on you i

brought that from nashville yeah. They're coming from inside you. Yeah, I know. Because they just live there. It's like a home. Elizabeth Hernandez. I'm going back listening to episodes with my favorite guests. My top four are Greg Warren, Vecchione, Leanne Morgan, Nick Novick. No, John Crist.

What if we did it? It came in at four. Came in at four. Is that in order? I think so. No, John Crist. What if we did it? It came in at four. Came in at four. Is that in order? I think so. No, I think that's just. I think she ranked them. She ranked them.

Yeah, but Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore is not a ranking. No. But she ranked them. It's just who's on your Mount Rushmore of Nate Land guest. The Bigfoot guy. Definitely. Kevin Jada.

Kevin Jada. Good job. What was so special about Greg? That civilian station. Yes.ada, good job. What was so special about Greg? That civilian station. Yeah, that one's its own thing. It is its own thing. He was a Bigfoot expert? Bigfoot and UFO enthusiast.

He made sure to say, I'm not an expert, I'm just into it. He's just into it. And he just worked a regular job with Abigail, my sister. So one of our first guests is just. No credentials. Nothing. Never spoken. Never done any interviews.

Never done. Just a complete regular person. And it was good? Yeah. It was great, dude. Yeah. And we've had some. One of the fun stuff happened there.

Yeah. I mean, I agree with all these. Who's our bottom four? Yeah, you don't want to mention that. We haven't had anybody, though. No, we haven't really either. No, no, everybody is, we're all friends. So no one would be a bottom four because it's, you know,

I don't want guests on that we don't really know. He was the only one that we didn't personally know. Kevin Trout. And that was perfect. Yeah. Who was that? He was friends with Abigail. Yeah, we talked about. We talk a lot at work.

He just knew a lot about the stuff. I'd say, for me, my least favorite, Dusty. Scott Crawford. Scott Crawford. Scott Crawford. I've noticed that Nate's thumb is hypermobile, which means he has a propensity to curve backwards beyond the typical range. The common name for it is hitchhiker's thumb. The medical term for it is distal hyperextensibility.

I think I nailed that word. You did nail that. I want to see. I'm going to go with distal. Does yours not curve back? No, not quite severe. I feel like mine's doing it. Your left thumb is pretty curved.

Yeah, that one. Yeah, that one. Yeah, that one curves more. My toe. Your thumb has scoliosis. What about mine? Oh my gosh Are you double joining? Put on the glasses

Freak show Are you double joining then? Before the eclipse Because maybe that's what calls Yeah Holy smokes, man You are so gross Say like, job Do it

Way to go buddy No you're not That's not right That would not be on a brochure If you were like Hey we need a good thumbs up I don't know if yours I don't think any of our hands

None of us are hand models I think yours would be On a brochure about going If you have this Come into the doctor This week That's where your brochure Would be

Yeah brochure With distal It goes When to call the doctor And yours is the one they go, when it does this. That's a C. I'd put it at a 45-degree angle. That's a C. Let me see it. Look at it.

Show it to me. Does it go back like that? No, it's like an out pattern. You're pointing that needle down here, and then you go out. Yeah. It's a post. Yeah, down and out. It's a post round is what it is.

That wouldn't even be a good hitchhiker's thumb. I think the guy would go, I don't know what this guy wants. I think he's telling me to go take a left down this road. He wants me to get in the car with him. Yeah. He goes, you think that guy's hitchhiking? I think he's asking us to take a turn. Maybe the road's closed up front.

You need to get that checked out. Now I'm going to be self-conscious for the rest of my life. You do that a lot on stage? Good to see you. I'll do this. There you go. This is not a thumbs up. I agree.

If you're hitchhiking and you're going to life or death, I would not do this. Both if you have distal hyperextensibility. We both do. Yeah. That's for sure. But yours is. I'm straight up and down. Look, my toe.

Yours is real distal. My toes go crazy. My dad's toe go crazy. Our toes go. Our toes make a left turn like that. Yeah. Our right turn. Yeah.

Our toes make them. Yeah. You could do like freak show stuff. Yeah. Our toes make them, yeah. You could do, like, freak show stuff. If you showed up at a freak show without thumbs, I don't think you're immediately asked to leave.

No. I think you're there. No. Are you kidding me? I don't think he's in it. I don't think he even comes close. I think the guy in charge of the back seat. I think you get a call back. No, he doesn't make the team.

You have what we call a call back. But he stays. I try out. I think they wing people out. It's like America's Got Talent. They're making it to the television part. I think they're going to show you on television. No, I think he shows up and they kick the bearded lady out of the troupe.

Simon Cowell goes, let's talk to this guy. Sorry, Denise, you're gone. Yours doesn't go out like yours. Stop doing that. Oh, man. Yours goes straight Straight up and down Get on, roast him

Look at that Straight up and down Yeah, it looks completely normal He's got all the blood in the top of his Let me Google That's the most red thumb I've ever seen Is it red? Yeah, I feel like it's just all blood

Maybe it doesn't get up there that much Maybe it's because I got good circulation, Nate I don't know, it looks like it's all going The circulation looks like it's just all blood. Maybe it doesn't get up there that much. Maybe it's because I got good circulation, Nate. I don't know. It looks like it's all going. The circulation looks like it's trying to get out. Look at this emoji thumbs up. Yeah, straight up. That's what mine looks like.

No. No, man. John, hold your phone up again. Tilt it about 45 degrees to the left there. Other way. Other way. Yeah, that's your thumb right there. Well, now when I come out and do a local jokes, I'm like, I love your city.

I'm not doing this. People yell out Go Jackets at my show. Yeah, that's great. I love it. I'm going to have this. I love it. Now you have this, Go Jackets. Thumbs up.

Why is your thumb weird? And you're like, well, that's not a good one. That's not even a catchphrase. That's just. Yeah, that's unreal a good one. That's not even a catchphrase. That's just. Yeah, that's. It's both. It's both. Why didn't you lead with that?

You got both of them. Yeah, it's both. It would look like your thumbs had never met each other. No one in my life has ever said this to me in my whole life. I know they were scared. It's like opposite of parentheses. Yeah. Yeah.

Opposite of parentheses. Yeah. I mean, what do you got to do if you had to do a fingerprint on your thumb? You'd have to climb on the table. Somebody hold my feet up. It's like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible. Going to lower him in. If you're listening at home, don't watch this.

It's gross. No. Turn away. What's it called? Just so I know. Do you have any pre-existing conditions? Hitchhiker's thumb. It's like some hyper extensibility.

Distal hyper. Yeah. Hyper mobile. But I'm with Nate on that one. I don't know why they call it hitchhiker's thumb because they would not. They wouldn't. Well, I'm sure his is probably called something else. Hey, I'm with Nate on that one. I don't know why they call it Hitchhikers, though, because they would not. They wouldn't. Well, I'm sure his is probably called something else. Hey, I'm Jillian.

I used to be a Chris fam, but not no more. That's a little bit. That's the whole family. That's the Mead family. Apparently. The whole family. They sound like a big family, too. Yeah.

That's how you know they're joking. They put that on the end, or are they serious? I think they're serious. But not no more. Where is this, on YouTube? Yeah. A lot of places. Twitter, Instagram, YouTube.

Why did you invite us? Why did you not invite Dusty? I didn't. It's a surprise. Yeah. John might be the only person to not blame for this. He didn't know it was going to happen. Did the surprise roasted you?

We got Lydia. Why did you not invite Dusty? Oh, well, well, well. She doesn't want to be involved. She's looking at the sun with no glasses. She goes. Kill me now. Oh, it's a pretty cool shape right now, you guys.

Is it? Switch glasses. It's the back half. Oh, yeah. Kind of looks like Pac-Man. Yeah. Yeah. Little Pac-Man.

Oh, that's Mario. That's Mario. Never mind. Totally different game, different era. Pac-Man. Yeah. Pac-Man. Oh, that's Mario. That's Mario. Never mind. Totally different game, different era. Pac-Man's my generation, baby. I can't do Pac-Man. No, it's the Mario. What's Pac-Man?

Donkey Kong guy. I don't know if Pac-Man's famous for its music, really. I couldn't tell you the Pac-Man theme song. Yeah. That's the one I like. Yeah, that's good. That was it, right, Ms. Pac-Man theme song. Yeah. Yeah. That's the one I died. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. That was it, right?

Ms. Pac-Man? Let me see. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do, do, do. My brother can do a thing where you go, like, he can walk into an arcade and they got a Ms. Pac-Man. Yeah.

And he can take the joystick or whatever and go, like, up, down, right, left, left, right, right, right, and it turns to regular Pac-Man-man oh he gets rid of the man it just goes yeah it just goes right to regular pac-man is it because if you wanted it to be faster now he's got nothing to say this pac-man's too slow then you go you're gonna speed it up i'll get a I'm going to get a dude Pac-Man out there. He goes, he can eat more, too. I wasn't allowed to play that. This Pac-Man eventually stopped because she goes, I've had enough. And they go, well, there's half the points are still left.

She's like, I'm lost. Just let me stop. Did you say you weren't allowed to play Pac-Man? Yeah, it was like eating. It was like violence. Like eating? Eating. I definitely wasn't.

I wasn't allowed to watch Speed Racer. I remember that. It was a Christian thing Like eating? I definitely, I wouldn't have watched Speed Racer. I remember that. Like it was a Christian thing. You were against eating? We weren't even Christian. Couldn't eat it. No. Just moral?

Pac-Man's a yellow ball. Yeah, very moral, but not. No, but it was violent. You were eating the other guys. Ghosts. Yeah, we didn't believe in that. Looking back on it, I didn't get much explanation, but I remember not being allowed to play it. And the Ninja Turtles game. What about Frogger? We could play that. Looking back on it, I didn't get much explanation, but I remember not being allowed to play it.

And the Ninja Turtles game. What about Frogger? We could play that. Okay. Because you're the one getting run over by it.

Don't worry, that's right. You're not hurting anybody. Going across the street. Yeah. Yeah.

Tony Chandler, Aaron, I love the story about you reaching out to Ben Rector one too many times. We've all been there, no shame in that tribe, my man.

Tough miss. Go Jackets. I'm in that try, my man. Tough miss. Go Jackets. I'm not getting strays on that. Well, Go Jackets is my favorite thing. I got a – the Georgia athletic director, he was there. He was at a tennis Georgia Tech-Georgia game. And then he texted me. He's like, look who we're playing.

And I was like, and I bet it's hard for him not to yell, even as the Georgia athletic director, not go, go Jack. People say that to me all the time. Yeah. Although I still, and then I wanted to, what's, I wanted to follow up with him and be like, did you see the Nate land? And I go, I can't.

Like double now? Yeah. Like, hey, we're going to go Dylan Lee. No, that was Harrison Butker. Okay. We were both up. Yeah. It was go, I can't. Like Double Now? Yeah. Like, hey, we're going to go with Dylan Lee? No, that was Harrison Butker. Okay, we got both of them. Yeah. It was both of them, yeah. I don't know this Ben Rector.

You said you reached out to Ben Rector? We met a couple times. He knew you. He knew me through you. Yeah. DMed a couple times. I think I just overplayed my hand a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just got a little too familiar. You know, it's funny. I just, I golfed with him. No, he responded. I golfed with him last week. Did you really? Yeah. I just golfed with him. No, he responded. I golfed with him last week. Did you really? Yeah.

He didn't bring it up. But I'll bring it up. It'd be weird if he did. Yeah, I was just with him. He goes, what's up with your boy? Isn't that kid on your podcast? Yeah, he goes, that guy is... Wait, would you like respond to a story? He responded to a story, then I responded back.

Who started? He probably did. Or he respond to a story? He responded to a story, then I responded back. Who started? He probably did. He did. We passed each other on the street in Durham, North Carolina. Okay. And then he DM'd me. It was like, did I just pass you? And then we just talked.

I saw him at the airport. Yeah. It's a whole. He's, I mean. Exceptionally nice guy. One of the most wonderful people. That's why I felt comfortable enough to do that. Oh, man. He's a wonderful person comfortable enough to do that. Oh, man.

He's a wonderful person. He's a singer. Oh, okay. But that's tough if he's the nicest, and then you get... I didn't say anything. Did you say what's his role? Yeah. Oh.

Yeah. Is that how you say stuff for people? I don't know, man. Is that how you talk about, like, you go... What's his role? You go walk into Walmart... What do you mean by that? ...and he goes up, what's your role here?

And they go, what? What's his role? Everybody plays a role, Nate. I mean, everybody does play a role. I've just never heard what's his role. Do you mean like what does he do for a living? Is that what you meant? Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know. All the world's a stage. What's your role in the human race? Yeah. What's your role? What's your role? He's our mic guy. That's tough to be the nicest guy in the world.

That's tough to be rejected by, then. I wasn't rejected by it. He's a good dude. He's probably heavy. He comes in heavy. So much that you can do when you go like, alright. It's too much. Maybe a story. If a story, if you resonate,

you're going to follow back up or are you done? I give a little laugh emoji maybe to just ease my way back in. A laugh in the thread or a laugh on the story? On the story maybe. I don't know. Do you comment on a lot of his stories? No, not a lot. I'm not.

I haven't been crazy. Yeah, enough. Enough. What do you put on there? Over, over. I don't know. Like thumbs up? Yeah, like, yeah, man, or something.

You're killing it? Oh, my gosh. No. Aaron. I haven Yeah like yeah man You're killing it? Oh my gosh No Aaron I haven't been weird You're killing it Dude that's what he does What are you doing?

Dude I heard you're killing it Fire Do you put fire? Oh no is it emojis? Oh Aaron No I don't do a fire emoji Aaron I've never done that

Never done that That's insane I'm going to put these glasses on So I don't have to look at you the rest of the time. Paul Goodness. I just came across an old clip of Nate talking about working out. He thought telling people he used to weigh 300 pounds was an easy cheat code. It made me wonder what happens to all old material guys you work so hard to develop it seems a shame that the only way we can consume it by finding old videos do

you ever recycle material can it be revamped into a new joke uh no the answer is a good no this is what i always say i know you want to hear the old jokes and you all that stuff this is a it's a lose-lose for comedians sometimes you can do a you know you could do an old joke it's hard to remember them because you ever when you when you're writing a new act you have to get like there's like a fire cell going off in your brain of just getting rid of old material because you got to because you just are on such search for new material. And with stand-up comedy, I understand there's stories I think people like to hear me retell, but like it was the Olivia joke.

When people shout out the Olivia joke, they're like, oh, do the Olivia joke. Well, you're yelling the whole point of the joke is that you don't know I'm going to say Olivia. And I was there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you were there. Nobody ever gives me credit for that. You know what? I didn't mention. And I was there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you were there. Nobody ever gives me credit for that. You know what?

I didn't mention it. He was there. Chris was there. I was there later that day. Yeah, you were there that day. When I first tried it. Yeah. Because he was with me in Tampa.

Me, you, and Dwight Rogers were playing. Oh, no. Were you with me? Yeah. I was playing that golf course. Yeah. We weren't on the road together? No, we were in, I don't know, I was somewhere.

We were there. We played Trump. We played whatever, the Trump course in Palm Beach. Yeah. And then we played that one, and then I had to drive to Tampa. You must have been there, and I was there. Yeah, I forget. We were, there was a reason where it kind of worked out,

where it was like we could get on. And my buddy. Your buddy. Dwight got us on. Yeah, that was it. And then, but, you want to hear it.

I understand what he's saying. I think there's, you could probably do some stuff where you could go like, hey, I'll do some of my old stuff. But it's just so much different than a song or anything

because it's the surprise. Maybe like the rhythm. I understand a long story can be fun to be retold because it's kind of a song kind of thing. It's like sing-songy a little bit. So you like to rehear it. But if you don't keep moving forward, I believe, as a comic, your career will stop.

I mean, you still could have people coming, but you will never gain new fans because you're never going to be writing and that's the part that's why I love stand-up and that's why stand-up is in I think such a great spot right now if the if everybody keeps writing and moving forward that's the it's I'm biased but it's I think stand-up comedy is the hardest thing to do in all of entertainment because you have to create it you have to write it you have to perform it and you have to keep doing and critique it after yeah you have to and you can you have to move there's so much work that goes into it that's why i it's to you know it's to make when you see a comic up there and you think like oh yeah that i mean i could be just funny and do that it's the the beautiful thing about it is like it's i i mean hours a year

and a half yeah of just messing with these words and figuring it out and putting it together and piecing it together it's a true uh and that's the show that you want to go to that's the show you know it's like that's it yeah i don't do a ton of like crowd like or talking or any i kind of just get into my act because it's like you're you're like this act is so hard to do or not so hard it's it's just it's very hard to plan and you're like i want to give you the best show that you can get i i know if i go the if i do other stuff it's going, and you're like, I want to give you the best show that you can get. I know if I do other stuff, it's going to be, you're going to get tired of it and eventually be like, all right, well, we're not going to go anymore because it's not. I should be trying to get better. You remember that went in, it was probably 2020, maybe the fall.

I went with you to the corporate downtown Nashville. Yeah. Then you were like, there was like bits that you were like, because you'd never seen those people. And you're like, you go reach for something else back in your old self.

A corporate's a little different. Everything gets condensed. And you will bring old stuff out. I do that. More than likely, they don't know you. And maybe it out. I do that. Because it's, you know, you're like, more than likely they don't know you. And maybe it's not the best situation. You need to be kind of rapid fire and all that kind of stuff. I think that's what this guy might be asking, though.

Like, these jokes were not many people knew you. It's hot. It is getting a lot hotter. If you're bringing back old jokes, it's not going well. If you're, well, that was, look, that's an old way that they did it. They, you know, before specials and before TV, which is, this is how new an art form standup is, is entertainers didn't, they didn't write, you know, I mean, they, you wrote an act and you did the act for years.

I mean, dad, when he, my, my dad's here is where I keep pointing. But when they started, it's like, you came up with an act. You did Seinfeld. That's why Seinfeld did it. He didn't write. It wasn't this thing. It was like you write an act. You tour on it for almost the rest of your life. One hour.

Because you're not on. They didn't have specials. That's what Seinfeld, when I asked him, did y'all do theaters? He goes, no one did. Theaters weren't even a thing. You couldn't ever. It was insane to be like a comedian would ever go to a theater. And when he was, you know, at his peak, it wasn't until probably Seinfeld TV show later, before, afterwards, that he went into theaters for the first time.

Really? Because he was just doing comedy clubs. They weren't, theaters just weren't a thing. And look, now you're in arenas. And that's the, that's what I love. Man, I love standup. And I hope this, there's the next generation of standup is you can just do standup and you are, have your standup be the catalyst for whatever else you get, but you got it because you are a standup. Standup is the hardest thing. It's the, I mean, it's as a comic saying it, but I, but I just, it's, you gotta, I mean it's as a comic saying it but I just it's you gotta

I mean you just gotta write everything and you gotta say it that's you know it's just a lot of stuff and you're in this room with just a microphone and you gotta entertain all these people and they have to be compelled to want to listen to you

and it has to be funny you have to keep their attention it's hard to keep people's attention you have to keep their attention it's hard to keep people's attention you have to keep their attention in theory it stinks it's just a guy talking you know what i mean yeah in theory yeah it's fun it's so much like a dj or okay some sound effects or a dj john used to have a dj yeah oh man i did, I did the thing on BET one time and all those guys have DJs and they bring you up to stage. And I was terrified because

I was like the only white guy on this thing and all those guys were like dancing with the DJ. I don't think they were doing that. No, they weren't. I was like, cut, cut, cut, cut, please God don't let them have to see me dance with the DJ. And those DJs at the black shows, I may have talked about this on the podcast before.

We're the friends you talk about that stuff with. Yeah. We're True Crime Obsessed Podcast. Stitcher us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen. I think I skipped one. Did I skip Jesse Briggs? You did. Jesse Briggs, I wish more podcasts in the general public talked about March Madness.

Madness. Madness. Oh, I thought that's what he put? March Madness? Mm-hmm. Oh, you know what March Madness is? Yeah, I read it. This almost looks like a setup for me.

Yeah, March Madness, M-A-T-ness, is the NCAA Division I College Wrestling National Tournament. Basketball always outshines wrestling, but wrestling is my favorite sport, and I would love to hear more of these guys trying to understand the crazy sport of folk-style wrestling. Jesse, I went. It was two weeks ago in Kansas City. I was there. Look at the camera. You're talking to Jesse.

Yeah. Yeah, Jesse. Thanks, man. Jesse, I went. I went. I think he's looking at the lights and not the camera. I can't see anything. I looked at the thing, man.

He thought he was looking at Jesse. He goes, you turn around. Jesse, let me tell you something. Jesse, where's Jesse in the stands? No, I was there. It was in Kansas City. Me and my dad went two weeks ago. It was great.

Yeah. It was awesome. Missouri didn't have a great tournament. What's this kid? I've seen a couple things about a kid making the Olympics. That happened this weekend. He made the Olympic trial. Yeah. He qualified for the trials. He's a sophomore in high school. And that's. He made the Olympic trial. Yeah.

He qualified for the trials. He's a sophomore in high school. And that's really rare for someone that young. Yeah, man. He beat, like, some real seasoned wrestlers. These kids, they're getting really good really young. Because there's these clubs, kind of private clubs, that have Olympic-level guys coaching them.

So, yeah, high school kids are, it's insane how good they are. Where do they end up? Do they go like a WWE? You see where they end up. Do high school cafeterias. He's an All-American wrestler from Missouri.

I mean, this is... I don't even know. Where do they end up? He goes, how are you looking at it? I think this is best case scenario right here. Yeah, this is not, this is actually, I'm killing it. This is the top, dude. You're looking at it. I mean, some guys, you can make some money wrestling internationally now.

USA Wrestling pays some money if you win a gold medal or stuff like that. But a lot of guys go to the UFC, actually. Yeah. And then some guys do go to WWE, which isn't real. But they make some money. Sorry. Me and Aaron went. We did go.

Did you guys go? Did you watch WrestleMania 40? I didn't. I watched it. You did? The one that just happened john ceden and the rock went at it yeah our guy um what's his name but my agent we were in the same arena uh head to head and my agent called he said i'm so sorry because that's your

fans and i go that's not good for me yeah he goes sorry the wrestling fans that's why your show wasn't sold out because wrestling is your demographic. And it was in the same building? Yeah, I go, it is? He goes, yeah, they're pretty. Do you watch WrestleMania? Yeah.

You watch wrestling that much? I mean, I've been into it the last couple years just because, yeah, I think it's awesome. You keep an eye on it. Yeah. Y'all need kids. That's the problem. I'm having a kid.

That is true. Oh, yeah. We haven't talked about it. We haven't talked about it. Congratulations. That was the setup. I'm having a kid. That is true. Oh, yeah. We haven't talked about it. We haven't talked about it. Congratulations, Aaron. That was the setup. Thank you. Thank you.

We're doing it. Aaron's having a kid. October 17th. All right. So we'll see. Look at that. See, wrestling's going to go by the wayside. Wrestling's going to go by the wayside.

You and Brian can tell us what else goes by the wayside. I already know what I'm losing, right? Wrestling, everything. I'm playing a lot of MLB The Show right now. That'll be gone. That's gone. That'll be gone. I won't be able to just pop over and go to a Braves game when I'm off like I did this weekend.

Oh, are you a Braves fan? I'm a Braves fan. This guy's doing a high school next week. What'd you lose, Brian? Anything? I wasn't doing much anyway. You lost nothing. Television. No, no, no.

There ain't no more like, why don't we go to the Titans game? The spontaneity. The spontaneity's gone. Which I think I'm kind of ready for anyway. I was living like, you know. It's great. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You get to watch, you feel relief. You get to watch your sports or whatever.

You just become not as a crazy person. So then you get to back off and just be normal. Normal, yeah. Yeah, you're watching like – I watched the Masters this week. And, you know, it's like whatever it is, you're just life – there's just other stuff now. So you don't – you know, you're like, I'm not watching. I try to watch the Titans every game, but like if I don't, I don't.

You know, and my. Yeah, I used to have Titans season tickets for like 20 something years. Yeah. March Madness. Tonight's the championship game. I don't think it tips off to like 820. So I should be able to watch that, but I haven't seen much of March Madness. Because of you have a baby. I used to watch every game.

Did you check out some of the Madness? Yeah. Now I'm.'m used to that on it's the espn had it on oh yeah espn three yeah they should show it what is if you're like hey if like we're if you're like we're gonna have a baby but i'm keeping this you can't do that right yeah i'll put my foot down on some stuff you will something yeah what are you keeping uh his other wife you guys no that'd be funny if you just go i'm keeping my other family i'll have a baby i'll have a baby you gotta have your job and then that's it no you keep yeah i was like with comedy it was uh but i didn't play video games just went away naturally too just because they i'll play them some now but you're just he's about at the age where you start you kind of just stop i'm gradually losing interest yeah you just go like it's i i could i could play them just if i want a distraction it's like it could be distraction but it's

complicated you're having to update in video I mean, you have to update every second. You mean just download like a routine update? Yeah, it's crazy. It takes like five minutes, dude. No, it's crazy, man. I don't think I have it hooked. Stuff got hooked up so crazy and weird. There's no more just turning it on and just getting to it. That's for sure. I never liked playing online. And so there's no more just turning it on be like i just want to play a regular game i mean my oh i had a little joke about it this season the the vince young joke but like when you play in your it's like you know what are you doing you gotta trade i gotta re-sign people and you're like yeah all right gotta press hot dogs yeah gotta show the price i was playing the new mlB The Show The baseball game And you have to like Recruit and scout new players

And I go I'm simming all this Yeah There's no way I'm doing spread sheets What do you have in your house A Playstation? We have a Playstation 4

Yeah My girlfriend knows If I'm like watching a TV show She's like He's not doing well Like if I I don't watch TV Yeah

Or like if I'm If I'm just You're like What are you doing? like if i don't watch tv yeah or like if i'm if i'm just you're like what are you doing i was like i was watching suits she goes something's going on like if you're in there playing a lot of video games you're like what's going on but i would do it like when i watch a movie or something like some of it's just a really it's background noise so it's like i'm just i have it on to because i'm thinking about a hundred things you're like that would be odd that you were doing that. That's why video games can be good because you can go in,

you're like, if you're playing football, you can just think about everything. Yeah. But get it. But if you were like, if you're a Georgia Tech fan, you're like, oh, I'll follow along and see what their record is. But if I'm like on the message boards about the recruits, you're like, dude, you got kids.

That's what you're talking about. I'm on the, on the yeah tweeting at recruits yeah you gotta let that stuff exactly you get two years after college two years after college to tweet at recruits i like i read uh i i read the vanderbilt forums but you don't contribute i've never posted there you go and i just and i don't read them but I'll read them as, you know, you're just kind of seeing what's the vibe with what's going on. I just kind of look at a few of them and then you move on. So that's what I am with wrestling. I'm not like buying merch.

Well, I did buy merch, I guess, but I'm not like... What'd you get? I just got a highlight t-shirt when I went to Raw with Aaron. Not a mask or anything? Nah, I didn't get a mask. That's a good way to do it, though. Follow the Titans.

I generally know if they're good, but I'm not. Did we have other solar eclipse stuff? Yeah, I got more stuff. You want to get back to that? What do you want me to read? Let's read, let's do that one. All right. Jimmy Trent.

I called an Uber to take me home around 2 a.m. As the driver pulled up to the drop-off location, he was in the middle of telling some story. I didn't care and went to get out. He reached all the way to the back passenger side door, shut it, looked me in the eye, and said, not until I finished my story. I said, this is how true crime podcasts start and took off. He did not get five stars from that night.

Yeah, that's crazy. Was that you, Brian? Yeah. No, it was not me. Man, but I don't like being cut off on a story. Yeah, I get it. You know? Yeah, but if you pulled up. The story clearly meant something to him. But, I mean, that's being cut off on a story. Yeah, I get it. You know? I mean... Yeah, but if you pulled up...

The story clearly meant something to me. But, I mean, that's on the Uber driver, too. You've got to time your story up. That's true. Like, that's not on me. You've got an ETA right there on the phone. Yeah, yeah. You ever been telling a story,

especially when you're working on a bit to a friend or something, and the waitress shows up, like, right when you're at the punchline? Right, right. When are you working on bits with friends? Oh, dude, this weekend. With a friend? Huh? If you were doing a bit?

You guys would do a lot of shows. He goes, and all his friends, they don't remember what he just said. The next day, he goes and talks to them again. People went to high school with. They're like, Greg? He's like, look, they got a new audience every day. Same guy. Same guy, new audience.

a new audience every day. Same guy. Same guy, new audience. What's the handicap bar look like at your high school? Are you pretty full? I'm 50, Bob. Tough to get a spot. It's not.

By the way, there's people in your crew that are laid out. They're like laying down. They gave up. It looks like Guyana or something. Yeah. Is that Jim Jones? Yeah, Jim Jones. The Eclipse took it out of them. They're trying laying down. They gave up. It looks like Guyana or something. Is that Jim Jones? Yeah, Jim Jones.

They're trying to get some sun. It's definitely getting hotter out here. This weekend, Anaheim, so we're doing the show and it's going great. My closer, I had two things actually.

I was in Stateline, Nevada, Tahoe. Oh, the fireworks. Somebody messaged me about this. Yeah. Ask Nate about the fireworks. Go ahead and just re-ruin it. What happened? That's what I mean with the waitress coming up.

Yeah. Yeah, you did. I just did. Oh, yeah. Number seven. The number was seven. He dies in the end. Go ahead.

seven the number was seven he dies in the end go ahead uh it's one of a state line in reno uh all the lights came on at the end of my set this was at the end too at the very end of my set it's dark lights just flip on and then flip back off which was insane yeah it's crazy to be you're in it you know though it's dark you're in this story and then just like cafeteria lights and everybody's just looking at you then they just go off was that intentional a guy the guy fumble he's like i don't know then i made a joke about it like i was like you think as like it'd be funny if like the light switch for this you know it's an arena and it's like is it just a flip it's one guy because you think it's like a garage one where it's like and it's just a guy that just like leaned back on a wall he's like what is that and then there should be a you should be able to

accidentally do that yeah you should never be able to accidentally do it and uh so we had that and then in anaheim uh i'm doing i've've started the closer, you know, and that's when there's mess ups. You're like, just don't, don't, you can get me anywhere. Don't get me on, you know, the closer is the one that's the toughest. Because you're like, I got, I'm just, now I'm getting off. I'm trying to be in this rhythm of to get it off. And fireworks started going off. And I, so I hear boom, boom, boom.

Inside the arena? Yeah. From where? From the Magic Kingdom? I didn't know the lobby or something. Inside, no. Inside. I think you had been on the news if fireworks went off.

WrestleMania. Yeah, I just fought through it. And they go, they were shooting them at me. And I go, I still got to do the joke. Bottle rockets coming at you. Yeah. No, so there's an Angels game that just got out. In the parking lot.

It's in the parking lot. Yeah, yeah. Well, they don't win very often. I know. The Angels won. Well, yeah. So you hear, boom, boom. And, like, we had, you know, no heads up.

Like, it's almost because I think it's because, you know, and comedy is a weird thing where you're, like, we had, you know, no heads up. Like, it's almost because I think it's because, you know, and comedy is a weird thing where you're like, you know, if a band, if those go off, no one even can really tell. Yeah. And with comedy, it's like everybody's kind of quiet and listening. So the fireworks start going. The fireworks start going. They hear what?

You said very? I said very. People hear fireworks three times over, but I'm on stage. Yeah. They go, this guy's sitting in the front row, and he goes, I think someone's car alarm's going off. I think someone knocked on my door. Yeah.

Yeah. He goes, we got a show going on. Could you guys quiet down? I'll be praying for fireworks at that cafeteria show. Yeah. He'll take anything. They still won't hear them. The audience, because they can't.

It's an old joke. I didn't quite understand it, but I knew it was a slight on my part. He was thinking cafeteria like old folks. You're thinking about like a school cafeteria. Yeah, school. Oh, yeah. It's too amazing. I'm sorry.

Aaron's about done with it. He's ready to wrap it up? Yeah. Done with what? I thought you'd go, all right, all right. No, no, no. I'm sorry. You did make done with it. He's ready to wrap it up? Yeah. Done with what? I thought you'd go, all right, all right. No, no, no. I'm sorry. You did make an audible.

All right. I just moved up slightly in my seat. We were playing that. In high school, we were playing that. We were like, hey, everybody start going like this. Yeah. And then the teacher's like, just trick the teacher. A little fun side note.

Nick Novicki, I know his. He will, if you're talking about something and he's done with hearing about you talk about that thing, he'll just say what the, you could probably see it. I wonder if he's done it on a podcast. Say we're out here and we're talking about the eclipse, but Nick wants to move on and talk about something else. So he'll just wait for the quiet moment and he goes, eclipse. And you go, all right.

And he goes, did y'all watch the tournament last week? It's because he's done with it. So we kept catching him doing it this week. He'll just, I forget what it, you know, he'll just, you know, he'll be like, basketball! And that means he's done. He's done with basketball. He's done with basketball. And he could not even be involved in it. He's just like, he's done. He's done with basketball. He's done with basketball.

And he could not even be involved in it. He's just like, he's got something he wants to bring up. Anyway, so the fireworks go off, and you hear it, and everybody can hear it, but it's that moment where you go, I'm in the end, I need to just do it. I was like, I think I could just probably plow through it, and people just can be like, hey, fireworks are going off. But then you saw flashes.

Yeah. Once I saw the flash, I was like, well, now I think I have to. That's why I don't do arenas. Yeah. Yeah. No glass. Yeah. And then I started.

I admire your stance on that, too. Thank you. So I talked about fireworks for a good little bit. And so I talked about fireworks for a good little bit. And I was trying to do it to just long enough, you know, where you're kind of being like, all right, maybe if I do three minutes on fireworks, these things will be done. And they weren't. They never got done. I just had to go, well, I got to do it.

I think I finished in the grand finale of the fireworks. Have you been on stage at Zany's when it's raining really hard? Dude, it's the loudest noise noise you can't even hear the show yeah I had a buddy my buddy Tanner was just got a spot at Zany's

soon as he goes on stage it just starts yeah can't hear his set at all and you can only acknowledge it for so many yeah you say something

about it then you're like well I'm up here for another seven minutes yeah and just it stopped as soon as he got off stage

I don't know how we're doing on time but I do want to mention I think that might have melted or is that for another seven minutes. Yeah. And just, it stopped as soon as he got off stage, dude. I don't know how we're doing on time, but I do want to mention, I think that might have melted. Or is that supposed to be like that? No, I think it's supposed to. Okay. Melissa Sedlek, I did a show in Mammiesburg, Ohio this weekend.

She sent Eclipse gift bags, Eclipse gum, Moon Pies. Moon Pies. I'll eat that. These are double-decker Moon Pies, too. Aren't they all? We all got one. No, they're usually single layer. They'll eat that. A lot of other things. These are double-decker moon pies, too. Aren't they all? We all got one.

No, they're usually single layer. I did eat mine. I think you got gummy bears. Moon pies? Not gummy bears, but I can't remember what you got. Historic Plaza Theater by Hemsburg. Yeah, I got Sour Patch Kids. Sour Patch Kids is what I meant to say.

I had Milky Ways of Mine. Oh, yeah. Thank you. What's their name? Melissa Sedlec. Thank you, Melissa. That's very nice. very nice dusty's got one i'll give it to him next week when he comes up he comes out of the cave yeah and how are we doing on time i don't know when we started yeah okay yeah yeah well we can you know i like the uh yeah yeah we can, you know. I like how the Angels, with no one was ever like, hey, maybe there's going to be some fun. Like, has that never happened before?

No. That's what drives me nuts. Well, it does happen. And that was the thing. Yes. So everybody kind of said to him, like, if you would just give us a heads up, like, the Angel game. And you don't know when that game's going to be over. if you were just giving us a heads up like the angel game and you don't know when that game's going to be over but if you said when the angel game is over like you know so then we could maybe

turn on the angels game and kind of keep an eye on it we started late because it's an arena so sometimes you're you're you know you'll be like seven o'clock start maybe we try to start at 7 10 15 but sometimes it's like 7 30 because it's just slow people getting in especially in california with this traffic and uh and so we were kind of having to push.30 because it's just slow, people getting in, especially in California where there's traffic. And so we were kind of having to push it, and then it was just – it just timed out perfectly. How long do you think they lasted? 12 minutes. That to me makes me don't think –

that makes me think that they had a fireworks show planned. That's a 4th of July after the game. No, they do. They do. So it had nothing to do with them winning. It just – that was – No, I think it had to. I thought it had to. Well, I thought it was either them or with them winning. It just, that was. No, I know. I think it had to. I thought it had to.

Well, I thought it was either them or Disney because we were in Anaheim. It could be Disney. It could be Disney. Disney, they said, was too far away. But everybody that worked there was like, yeah, yeah, they do 12 minutes every Saturday when they, I guess, in the Angels games or whatever. I don't know. Maybe, I don't know if it's a winner or not.

That's a pretty good deal. Huh? 12-minute fireworks show? Yeah. Just for a regular season win? Yeah, it's a long one, man. Yeah, it was definitely a long one. I mean, the Nashville Sounds do that, I think, every Saturday,

but that's minor league baseball. We'll shoot off a couple when the Cardinals win, but, I mean, it's 30 seconds or less. You're not going 12-minute fireworks. What's your role? Me? What's your role? I said we.

I'm a fan. Yeah. I'll talk to him. We shoot them off. I think? I said we. I'm a fan. Yeah. I'll talk to him. We shoot him off. I think I've earned the right to say we after. Yeah. Yeah. Spent a lot of money on Cardinals games.

Yeah. You and Sonny Gray have both been on this podcast. He's hurt. He's hurt. I think he's coming back like a week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he's pitching against the sounds in Memphis this week. Is he?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean,'s pitching against the sounds in Memphis this week. Is he? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I cannot wait to get that guy. Yeah. I thought there was something else I was going to say. One time I come from behind the curtain. They introduced me, and the curtain comes up, and I walk out of it. And one time, whoever, just like the lights guy the curtain just didn't come up yeah and so i pulled it up from under and crawled underneath it got out and then he pulled it up

so you don't think there's not this sometimes it's that sometimes you had to go the whole thing goes i pulled it up yeah and crawled out from underneath and then he pulled it up. And just the same with the lights guy. I'd go, can I talk to him? Just send him back here. I want to know what happened. I don't – comedy, where we don't get taken serious, and part of it is none of us believe we should be taken serious. Comedy comes from that thing. But it's the only time – I don't care what you do to me.

It's the show. It's the audience. I'm doing this to make the audience. I want it to be good for them. And the show to be, yeah, like if you mess up on something on me. But comedy, we're the only ones that can really kind of bounce back from anything that happens. There's no anything that can happen.

You can kind of, but I said. You address it you can you just make fun of it yeah we're pretty self-contained like we're pretty just like just have those guys you know when they say it's comedy and not music it's like oh it's gonna be easy so but they do kind of guy at the arena yeah i got the night off it's comedy i was like do you did fiddler on the roof last night yeah yeah with 97 cues yeah how can you not turn the lights up when I walk out? Well, but it's like they check out. They take the night off. It's like when you go to eat at Cracker Barrel at 3 in the afternoon.

That's when they're like, oh, it's not much going on. That's when you get bad service. That's when you get the one and two stars out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On the thing? Yeah. They still have that? Oh, yeah. Oh, they rank them? Oh, yeah. I the thing? Yeah. They still have one? Oh, yeah.

Oh, they rank them? Oh, yeah. I thought it was based on how much time you're there. Well, time and status, same thing, you know? People putting their work.

I'm guessing those are the pros. You go Sunday after church crowd, those are the five stars. Oh, yeah, man. Yeah. If you go Sunday

after church, you're crazy. I know. That's a rookie move for a comic. If you're like, hey, you want to go I know. That's a rookie move for a comic. If you're like, hey, you want to go to breakfast on Saturday morning or Sunday morning at 10? Yeah. What are you thinking, man?

Because you've already been at church. You're going to be playing chess on those rocking chairs for a couple hours. Yeah, who goes? Yeah, you don't ever. You don't go eat breakfast on the weekends if you're a comic. You don't do it. Yeah. Or you go 11.

I mean, even 11 is too late. You go late. I mean, you find a brunch place at 2. Exactly. Yeah, just don't have breakfast, man. We're going to do lunch. John, would you still eat breakfast at 2? Yeah.

No matter what time? No matter what time you wake up, you have to have something breakfast related. So like an orange juice or like a banana, and then you can go eat a hamburger. Yeah. Yeah. We woke up on the road, and he goes, we're going to Red Lobster. I go, I just woke up. I like Red Lobster.

But not. Red Lobster, I think think is tough to eat start i go i'll have a orange juice in the bus and then i'll go to red lobster red lobster if you like seafood man high turns you want to go somewhere where they're doing a lot of volume and that's red yeah high turns yeah i think but red lobster i think red lobster i don't know if it can be sprung on me. Like, and I definitely don't think I could wake up and just get my, and I can get my mind right. I can eat a hamburger in my bed when I wake up, but I don't know if I can get. You couldn't go hour for an hour getting Red Lobster? You couldn't get in it, the swing of it?

First of all, I think you can get a hamburger at Red Lobster. Let me see if they got one. Well, then I might. Yeah. But, yeah, I think Red Lobster's a. You definitely get a steak. Yeah. It's just, yeah, it feels, Red Lobster. Well, then I might. But yeah, I think Red Lobster's... You definitely get a steak. Yeah. It's just...

Yeah, it feels... Red Lobster's are dark. You ever notice that? Like, you go in... Dark, like emotionally? No, no, no. Like lighting. Like lighting.

It's a very dark restaurant. It's moot. It's moot. Yeah. Oh, you know what I had last night? That's what I was going to tell you. I had an Eclipse Sonic. They have a little Eclipse drink.

It's called a Blackout drink. What's Eclipse about? It's just black? It was the whole thing. It was great. It was one that when you first eat it, you're like, I don't know if this is good. Then you can't stop eating it. And you're like, I think it's pretty good.

I think it was like kind of grape slushy with ice cream. and some sprinkles and so then i got it last night yeah i bet that's i went today before this i went to cracker barrel and did you get the clips i i went to the sonic to try to get these glasses i don't know if you guys are going to have them and both sonic was too full and you can't go in because it's you know yeah and then the rail was out of them yeah yeah but they but they definitely when you pull up to sonic and they have the menu up there or whatever they have some little branding that has something to do with they're all in on the eclipse at sonic yeah i'm just saying right now it's it wouldn't be against too bad of a thing to go get one of those yeah pretty good yeah you think they're going to keep it going for through the rest i thought it was that good.

I think they got it right. You probably, yeah, I mean, they've probably been running it for a while. Yeah. I bet you can get it today. And then tomorrow you're done.

Yeah. In 2044. Yeah, I mean, the eclipse is like tough because everybody really will be over the eclipse tomorrow. Like, you know what I mean? And this podcast comes out in two days.

Oh, yeah. That's true. That's true. Yeah. Yeah, it's going's true. That's true. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be a tough listen. Yeah. People. They were like,

we saw it. Yeah. We'll have seen a million videos of it. Was there another one? We went to Paducah, though. That's right. This is different. Boots on the ground.

Yeah. You got a different perspective. Shoe leather and knuckles. Nate, would you say you're disappointed with it because it was not as dark as last time? No, I thought was the same size but ours were yeah i think our last time the moon was bigger the moon has lost weight or it moved an inch that was seven years ago so seven inches right it's uh yes barely even on the planet seven years seven inches yeah yeah and then so I, but the last one was, the last one was the craziest. It was just in Nashville.

It was quick. It was a night time. It wasn't? It went like light, dark, light. This was like a. No, it was, no, it did like this. But, I mean, it was a night time. I mean, we're finding the video.

You hear crickets are going crazy. I couldn't, I hit a golf ball. I couldn't see the golf ball. It was like hitting it dark. You could have always seen the golf ball the whole time here. No, I think you would have lost it, but it was – you don't remember the last one? Yeah, I was there.

I was in St. Louis. So you weren't in Totale. Oh, yeah, I wasn't in Totale. Nashville. You had to go down a little bit to get to Totale. No, yeah. What did you do? You were in the airport?
