Well, Nate was on that podcast that I was on, the David and Goliath episode. He was there. Yeah. Yeah. And this guy hates me, though. And he loved it when it was just on Nate's shoulders. He's just like, I want Nate to be tired. I want him to shoulders to hurt. The man needs to be working all the time to keep this guy.

I want him beaten down. Yeah. What about Aaron and Brian? Nah. We'll just stick with Dusty, I guess. He's like, who? I didn't know there were other guys. Well, it's good to be here. It's good to see the two of y'all. I'm excited to be here. We've all had pretty big

You had a crazy week. You had a great week. I went to LA. I took my entire family. I took my wife, Hannah. I took my daughter and my son and my sister and my niece. Wow.

My niece is 21. And we had so much luggage car seats i ordered an uber xl to to go to the thing and then i realized there's no way we can get all of this luggage and people into so we had to order two ubers there to the airport and then i got i rented a a wagoneer a jeep wagon they're unbelievable aren't they oh man i love they're so cool i was bullying people on the interstate oh yeah it was really great i want one of those now uh-huh the freeway i never drove a car like that yeah the freeway i never drove a car it has that little thing it's such a small detail where it projects the speed limit up onto the

windshield did you notice that oh i don't think i know oh man maybe mine there's all kinds of cool It's such a small detail where it projects the speed limit up onto the windshield. Did you notice that at all? Oh, I don't think I noticed that. Oh, man. Maybe mine did. There's all kinds of cool little features like that on a Wagoneer. I loved it, though. I was into it. But, yeah, we got there on Wednesday.

We chilled. We rented a place on Hermosa Beach. I'm tired. And it was great. We went to the beach. And then on Thursday, I did Pete Holmes podcast. You made it weird. Yeah. Did you make it weird? No, I had a great time talking to him. That was a lot. We had a lot of fun. Yeah, he's interesting guy. We did a two hour podcast, just the two of us. And it really kind of flew by. Yeah, I can't wait to hear that. Yeah,

just the two of us and it really kind of flew by yeah i can't wait to hear that yeah it was really fun and then i uh that night me and hannah did our podcast that we're having a good time podcast live at the original room in the comedy store so cool and that was super fun i listened to a little bit of it it sounded great man the crowd was into it they know you know yeah i mean until they'd listened to the podcast before i think only like six people had listened to it. And I think the rest of the people were overflow from they couldn't buy tickets to my Troubadour show. Yeah. But it was hot. I mean, we just were in there joking.

And I did a little stand-up at the top. And then towards the end, we were like, well, we've ran out of stuff to talk about. So I just started doing some open mic jokes. Yeah. Sorry, I spit all over the table. So I just started doing some open mic jokes. Sorry, I spit all over the table here. And I started doing some open mic jokes. It was great. Did Hannah catch the bug again? Is she going to be doing stand-up?

I think now that Zanies has the lab, I think we would like to try to do some live podcasts there. That'd be fun. I think that'd be really fun. I pitched it to Brian Dorfman. I ran into him in LA. And then on Thursday, me and Hannah did Burt Kreischer's wife's podcast, Leanne Kreischer. Wife of the party. Wife of the party. And it was really great. She was so nice. Me and her have a lot in common. You're very Southern, both of you. Very Southern. She grew up probably more poor than me. Where's she from?

She's from Georgia. Okay. But she grew up in a trailer park and then moved into a log cabin, which is like the same as me. Wow. Yeah. Wow. We had so much fun talking to her.

And then, yeah, hung out with Bert a little bit. He was at the house. It was fun to see him. I had not seen him in a long time. And, you know, because out with Bert a little bit. He was at the house. It was fun to see him. I had not seen him in a long time. And, you know, because I've been doing theaters now. So I got a couple of the theaters I did opening for Bert in 2018. I'm now headlining. That's pretty cool.

Yeah. So and Bert was, you know, I remember working with Bert at Lexington Comedy Off-Broadway. And this was a pretty famous episode where – not episode, but he talked about it on a podcast where he had to use the bathroom while on stage. So he brought me back on stage so he could go use the bathroom. It was hot. It's a hot show. Because I was ready. I had some short jokes I could do real fast. Yeah, yeah. And then, yeah, so it was hot. It was a hot show. Because I was ready. I had some short jokes I could do real fast.

Yeah, yeah. And then, yeah, so it was cool. Well, the reason I say is because I remember thinking, man, if I could just – he sold out all those shows. And I thought, if I could just do this, that's all I need. And now, since then, I have gone back to Comedy Out Broadway and sold out all the shows. Yeah, the goalposts move, don't they? Yes. Yeah.

Now if I can only sell out a stadium, then I'll be happy. Well, that's the thing. I am happy. I know. But yeah, you're right. The goalposts do move. Now that I'm in theaters, I'm like, we've started adding some shows. It's crazy.

You know, so. I saw you added a show in Phoenix. Yeah. The Orpheum. Yeah. Look at that. It's crazy. You know, so. I saw you added a show in Phoenix. Yeah. The Orpheum. Yeah. Look at that. That's great. Yeah.

So it's pretty awesome. Big time, man. So we did that. And then that night I did two shows at the Troubadour. Sold out shows. And that's a rock venue. This venue is where they say Elton John became a rock star. So that was my joke throughout. I go, I hope that happens for me. Yeah. I have always called you say Elton John became a rock star. So that was my joke throughout.

I go, I hope that happens for me. Yeah, I have always called you the Elton John of stand-up comedy. I was like, well, I hope midway through I become a – I believe in that Elton John movie, if I remember correctly, there's a big scene at the Troubadour. Oh, okay. Where he, like you said, that's his first foray into America and becomes a big star here. Yeah, so really historic venue uh i think the a lot of the staff there was pretty bored with comedy being there but uh

bouncer fell the late show was early show was really really great the late show was super rowdy like people showed up they bought a bunch of my merch they were hats they were dusty sleigh hats all throughout the crowd that's fun but they were all merch they were hats they were dusty sleigh hats all throughout the crowd that's fun but they were all drunk they were yelling people had to get kicked out my people in my management had to wake up a bouncer to get him to kick somebody out um but it was like i liked it because a lot of industry people came and my show was good they got to really see me work it so i'm like all this all these comedy clubs i've done throughout the years where things get really rowdy yes really

paid off because i'm like i'm working the crowd guys people are yelling out things and i'm i'm getting like i feel like i've moved beyond this like i'm still nice on stage but i moved beyond this extreme nice on stage to where I can call people out now. And it doesn't completely take me out of character. That's because you have some leverage now because you're selling tickets. Maybe that's it. For years, you're up there going, I can't even believe that they are letting me on this stage. And I don't want to ruin that.

I guess that's right. You got a little bit of that. Now you're like, yeah, I sold out two shows. I guess you're right. I can be a little mean up here. But I just got a joke about a guy getting tips. And it's like the point of the joke is that he's not made very much money. And so I say, oh, I made $14 a day.

And the guy goes, that's less than minimum wage here. And I'm like, what are you even yelling out? You think I'm looking to know the minimum wage in town? I got so mad at that guy. Oh, that's great. What are you even yelling out? You think I'm looking to know the minimum wage in town? Uh-huh. I got so mad at that guy. Oh, that's great. And I referenced him over and over throughout the show. And just made him feel bad about himself?

Yeah, I was like, what are you doing? People were getting kicked out left and right in the show, and it was like, I was loving it. People from all, like, and then, all right, so that's Friday. So then Saturday, I do, at 3 p.m., I do Leanne Morgan's show. I open for Leanne Morgan at Pantages Theater. Yeah. Super hot show.

Laura Peek is on the show. It's Laura Peek, then me, and then Leanne. That's a good show. It's a hot show. Yeah. I mean, I had a really hot show. How big is the Pantages? 12-hour good seat, I think.

Oh, that's great. It was a super hot show. Big time industry there, right? Of course. After the show. The industry loves swooping in for these fun shows, right? After the show, though, I met Chuck Lorre. Oh, wow.

He's made all these great shows. Yeah, young Sheldon. About to be making a show with Leanne. Well, you know, Big Bang Theory. Yeah, young Sheldon, too. Yeah, okay. Dharma and Greg. This guy told me, though, he goes, he said, you have mastered your craft.

That's what he said to me. Chuck Lorre said that to you. That's what he said to me. Wow. Maybe we'll get a Young Dusty. Yeah, so the day before, I'm being yelled at some minimum wage thing by a guy. And then the next day, Chuck Lorre is giving me high praise. And I'm like, this is what I'm talking about.

And it felt good. It was really good. And then I went over to the improv immediately after getting high praise from Chuck Lorre and having a pretty mediocre set. Feeling pretty new to comedy. Whose show was this? This was a showcase show. I mean, it was fine, but I had 15 minutes and I'm like, I feel like I was really getting the audience into it. And then my time was over.

And then I went over to the comedy store and did the belly room. So now I've officially done comedy in all the rooms of the comedy store. That's great. Did Steve Fury show, which is a secret kind of like people put secrets in a bucket and of the comedy store. That's great. The Steve Fury Show, which is a secret. People put secrets in a bucket, and then you pull it out and just improv. Secrets? Yeah, they'll put their secrets on a sheet of paper. Oh.

And then you pull them out of a hat, and you don't know who it is. You're just reading. But it's true about somebody in the room? Allegedly. Yeah. Who knows? But were they crazy over the top secrets? Like, I about somebody in the room allegedly yeah who knows but were they crazy over the top secrets like i murdered somebody in the 80s or something some of them were like that but some of them were like even kind of weak uh secrets but it was fun to

you know improv still pins from work did you call them weak on stage yeah some of them yeah this is dusty unleashed in la yeah he's weak i know i was getting wild and it was fun though one was one i pulled out i was like this was really fun yeah i pulled out the secret i read it and i go well this this seems to be directed at me and then it said you're gay Oh, that's great. It was fun. It was a fun time. And Giannis Pappas was on that show. Yeah.

Very funny. Nate Land alumnus. Yeah. I never met him, but we did two shows together. Very funny guy. Very funny. I still think I was the best on the show, but I would give him second best. Yeah.

And then that was it. Then on Sunday, I went out to the... I went out to the... I wanted to point this out. I don't know what's going on here, but you seem to be pushing Leigh in a way. I was trying to push her down. Well.

This is after you brought her on stage. Yeah. Yeah, it's always an awkward little she goes i'm nervous i go get out there if you're listening it looks like dusty stiff arming leanne from behind but you know i'll be waving out here so that's what it is more of a that's like halfway between a handshake to leanne and a wave to the crowd yeah there's a lot going on. Yeah. You know, I just had a hot set.

She's coming out on stage. It's like, there's a lot going on. People were standing up at this point. We don't know if they were giving me a standing ovation or Leanne. It's tough to say. But Leanne is so funny. She's great, man. I already knew she was, but man,

she just murdered that. Have you seen her do a set for her audience like that? I don't think so. It's a different animal, man. She murdered that show. Yeah. I mean,

I had a hot set. I mean, not for one second. Did I think, no, no, I mean, not,

you know, but it's just like, I did so well, but Leanne just comes out and just next level. They forget about you immediately. Yeah. Yeah. Like, it's like, I didn't think, I never thought, oh, yeah, I crushed, you know, like, oh, man, this is going to be tough to follow.

Follow that, Leanne. I never thought that, but I also didn't think that I would, you know, be immediately forgotten about. Yeah. I'm glad. Yeah. You need to get brought down to earth a little bit. Yeah. You're doing too well. too well yeah no but it was great and then i went to uh long island aquarium the aquarium of the pacific on sunday what's called long island it's what long beach sorry sorry i was like you hopped over to new york yeah yeah no wonder you're tired yeah

long beach uh the aquarium of the pacific okay what just fun took the kids uh daisy's never been to an aquarium sam at 10 months old was really into it i mean the boy was really looking at stuff and so that's cool he would get up on the aquarium and just stare in there he loved it and my And my sister, who's, you know, lives in a place called Goodwater, Alabama, very small town, you know. Is it near Flint? I don't think so.

Oh, I get it. You know, it's interesting though. Her husband went to college in Flint. Okay. So maybe that's why they picked the town. He's like, I'm looking for some good water. Gotta balance it out. He's leaving Flint.

He types in good water. All right, let's go. That's hilarious. That's very funny. But it is a tragedy what's happening up there. Yeah. I should say that. My sister's very religious, like myself.

But she doesn't travel like I do. And she really thought she would hate L.A. She loved it. She got swept up in it. She loved it. It's the belly of the beast, dude. It'll get you. She loved it.

She's going to auditions right now. Yeah. She had a great time. I thought my niece would like it, but I wasn't sure my sister would like it. But she was into it. I mean, she's going to auditions right now. Yeah. I mean, she had a great time. My niece had, I thought my niece would like it, but I wasn't sure my sister would like it, but she was into it. She met my manager, Judy and Judy's a, you know, very in control woman. And my sister was just really blown away by Judy. Cause she was like, she was so nice, but she was really like, she was like every room she

walked into, she like took control. She's she was like every room she walked into she like took control she's the alpha of every room and it is true though like i met you she's a powerful woman i met juni in a restaurant and we weren't expecting to eat but we had a little time before the show so there wasn't like room at judy's table so judy gets up next thing i know she's like they're moving us to another. They took us to a bigger table, brought all our stuff. No one seemed

irritated by it. It was great. That's power, man. It is. They came right over, took our order. Maybe this is just what happens in restaurants, but it ain't what happens for me. I tried to go to a sushi place that was... Apparently, they have gotten happens for me, I tried to go to a sushi place and that was,

apparently they have gotten a Michelin, which is an award you can get in a restaurant. Michelin star. Yeah, which is like impossible to get. And I couldn't find how to make a reservation on the restaurant. So me and Hannah just walked in and then this old Japanese lady comes over, very nice, but like almost like already sweeping us out. She goes, do you have a reservation? And we're like, no, I couldn't figure out how to. She goes, oh, we're booked up.

And just kind of pushes on us on out with a smile the whole time. But just like, she's like, ass, do you have a reservation? Knowing that we don't. Just, yeah. But it was great. I had a great time. Yeah. And, but it was great. I had a great time. So, if you didn't get Japanese sushi.

I was like, Chuck Lorre said that. Judy's my manager. You see Judy in the back. Yeah. Yeah. What were you up to this weekend, Brian?

I was on the road with Nate. We did Loveland, Colorado. Colorado Springs. this weekend brian i was on the road with nate um we did uh loveland colorado colorado springs and real rancho new mexico which is just outside albuquerque and um we flew in one well nate and i'm sure he'll talk about it more maybe next week when he's back he was doing shows with seinfeld g, Gaffigan, and Sebastian. Right. That was Wednesday, Thursday, I think. We flew in Thursday, a day ahead of time, to Colorado. Went up to Fort Collins, and our friend Derek Stroop was doing a show there. So we went and hung out with him at the club there.

Your friend Derek Stroop. Don't bring me into this. Okay. Sorry. at the club there. But, oh, so. Your friend, Derek's true. Don't bring me into this. Okay, sorry. Aaron and I's friend. I don't even know the guy, but yeah, keep going. I was going to do a guest set on Catherine Blanford's show

in Denver, but it didn't work out because the bus was taking us to Fort Collins. I'm now dropping shows I didn't do. That was good. I was going to do a free five minutes, but it didn't work out.

But I could have. Had to catch the bus. Yeah. Greyhound was leaving. Mega bus. Dropping shows I didn't do. But, man, Thursday when we flew out, we flew southwest. Yes, sir.

And Johnny W. and I were both flying out there. And Nate's people were nice enough to put us in, I guess, business class. A1 and A2. Business select. Business select. Yeah, about it. First class, basically. Yeah, you can sit wherever you want. Yeah, and Johnny was A1

and I was A2. Of course. He was texting me, just jokingly, So wherever you want. Yeah. And Johnny was A1 and I was A2. Of course. Yeah. Of course. Excuse me. He was texting me just jokingly like, oh, look at me. I'm A1. Sorry, buddy.

Whatever. I really planned poorly getting to the airport. It was an afternoon flight. I just made some dumb decisions. I didn't schedule my Uber. And then it was taking way too long to get to my house. I finally like, I got to cancel this Uber andber and drive the airport 440 was backed up i'm texting i'm like i'm not gonna make it to board by a2 i don't think right and at one point i'm like i don't

know if i'm gonna make my flight that's how desperate i was well somehow it's classic brian it's a cow being led to the slaughter this is what it is Johnny being a responsible adult gets there like an hour ahead of time he's there waiting before I've even left my house I think all that so I park I run I have to check a bag I run through the airport or whatever are you actually running through it yeah we've seen me run i love that i love i hope that nateland people were there and they get oh he's practicing running yeah yeah somehow do you know where you were in the airport are you like were you far was it like a high c number i think it was c6 okay that's not too bad of a run but it's still a little bit of it yeah it's on back there yeah you got to get them t

gates that's the new one. That's American, right? Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're still like real people. Yeah, we're Southwest. Yeah. That's right.

So I'm just hollering back there. Somehow, I mean, I parked, I think our flight started boarding at 225. I parked like at 208, and I had to go check a bag and all that stuff. Somehow, I get there, right? They're already doing the pre-board. I make it in time before we even started boarding.

Right when they're like, all right, now general boarding. Johnny's the first one. I mean, I just walked up. They stop and say, sir, that bag's too big. You're going to have to check that. They hold him up and I just walked right past him. He's been there an hour waiting, and I walked right past him, just walked on the plane, got whatever seat I wanted.

I love it. John, he was in the back. Now, he got the seat he wanted, but it's just funny how. You're also drenched in sweat, though. Well, that's true. It's a good day to be thankful for the amount of wheelchairs that might have boarded before you. That's right.

Because it really held you back. I think you're right. Yeah. And, you know know a lot of people don't know this brian if you were to get there a little bit later you can board after the a group if you have an a if you have an a on your boarding pass you can just hop in there skip above yeah you mean like before the i don't have to wait till the end of the seas just Yeah, you could have just... You could have hopped in there whenever. Yeah, yeah. I knew that. He boarded A1.

Yeah. I mean... Yeah. I somehow made it, but I was irresponsible and somehow got lucky. And then poor Johnny, who's been there so long. And they're like, sir, that bag. That's actually pretty ridiculous, though, of the airline. Like, he's been standing.

That's what I said. He's probably the type of guy. he's probably standing at that pole. He's right there. The gate agent's right there. And the whole time, he takes one step. Sir, that bag's too big. Johnny L. Yeah, exactly.

But also, how does Johnny not know that his bag's too big? What's Johnny doing? Johnny's an inexperienced traveler. He's a seasoned traveler. I think it was a new bag or something. I don't know. I don't know. Embarrassing.

It is embarrassing. Anyway. Chills were good, though. I had so many bags with my family. I mean, we had so many things. I never traveled like that before. I just had to say that. Just talking about, you know, we just had big bags.

Oh, yeah. I mean, anyway. Shows were great. I'm sore from all the physical activity that I'm not used to. The first night after the show, we went bowling. Nate's a good bowler. I am not. And I'm not the worst, but it's kind of like the 40.

My form's by far the worst. Somehow I get lucky and knock some pins down. Nate's a pretty good bowler, but my arms actually sore from bowling. Every time I go bowling, the next day I think I'm having a heart attack. It's just funny. I thought you were about to say y'all did CrossFit or something. You're like, this physical activity. I mean, we went bowling. I thought you were about to say y'all did CrossFit or something. You're like, this physical activity. I mean, we went bowling.

I'm getting started. Then, I mean, it's like midnight or 1 a.m. Central Time. And he's like, let's play laser tag. I have never played laser tag in my life. I think I'm the only one in the group that never played. I think it wasn't even a thing when I was a kid. Lasers weren't even invented yet. Yeah, maybe not.

Maybe not. I didn't even know how to get my vest on. Everybody else is just suiting up like they're going into battle. And they're like, I was already like, this is awkward. I thought we'd be playing against each other. We're playing against a bunch of teenagers. So, like, you and Nate are on the same team. Is it teams or is it a free-for-all it's teams there's like seven of us or whatever and

then there's like seven of the other guys kids i can't get my vest on i'm having to get the guy who works there to put my vest on sorry about my voice and then um they just rush us in there i don't even know what we're doing. My gun doesn't work. But I'm not sure cuz I've never played before but I don't think my guns and all these little kids are just come up and they're laughing and then they're running off and the whole time we're playing I'm just I don't know what everybody else is into it and Nate's like cover my six I'm like I don't know what that means and and I don't like I

don't think my gun's working but i don't want to say anything but i'm not sure we get done and we go outside to look at the scores it pulls up all your stats he pulls up all our stats and everybody's looking at it and they're high scores i don't know if you've played laser tag or whatever they win like 50 000 to 47 000 something blah blah blah close game close game they look at all the, and then somebody has zero points. Like, everybody else has 5,000 or something. There's somebody with zero. Nate's like, zero?

What is zero? Like, Nate's competitive about it. I'm just in the back. I never say a word. He still doesn't know that my gun didn't work or I didn't know how to use it. You never even fired a shot, though. It really is the most Brian thing, that you have zero points that your gun

didn't work. You're just running around getting lit up. I got lit up. You're like, I don't think my gun's working. As soon as I say it, some kid just walks out and goes pow! So we did that. uh we played basketball and um

Lachlan Patterson was with us I don't know if you guys know Lachlan but a little bit yeah he's like six foot five athletic too very athletic um I got popped in the jaw by Eric um it was I'm sore from so they take these games seriously when they're playing. Yeah, like Lachlan, of all people, was like, let's just don't get crazy and anybody get hurt. But then as soon as we start, it gets wild. Of course. We're out there on pavement, and we're high elevation, no humidity,

so we're all just gasping for air. Like, why aren't I sweating? All this sounds awful to me. Bowling I could be a part of, but that's about it. Yeah. If you could smoke inside. If you're at an arena where there's a basketball gym in there, you wouldn't shoot the ball around a little bit?

I might play horse. That's what I want to do is play a little horse. And then somebody said, let's play 21. And I was like, oh, gosh. And then somehow I was on Nate's's team the whole time he's just getting so frustrated with me because you know he's like what are you doing i can't play any sports with adults that take it seriously i'm like come on guys this is not our job i can't do it uh greg garcia a friend of our podcast came along for the weekend oh Oh, that's fun. So it was fun because Greg's my age.

Yeah. And so we just guarded each other. Took it easy. Just two old guys did it. Then we had a Nate Land Olympics. Not a Nate Land, just an Olympics one night where you might like this, Dusty. The competition was foosball, air hockey, ping pong, and cornhole. Okay. I like a couple of those

I'm not a ping pong guy really How are you not a ping pong guy? I like cornhole though, I'm a big fan of that game I wish they'd change the name But I do enjoy the game They call it bags in the midwest Called bags Is that right? I didn't know that

So that was fun Julia McCullough great at ping pong wow i would destroy him i think well maybe you would i mean i don't know but he was i'm okay i'm not that great um so that was fun what's foosball that's a little soccer guys on the way yeah that's pretty fun yeah yeah like that. Air hockey I'm into. I used to play that a little bit at the Rec Center in Opelika back in the day. Yeah. So those are things like there's not a lot of physical activity.

Yeah. So we did that. So it was fun. The shows were great. It's amazing how many, I mean, we say this every week, how many tickets Nate's selling. Are you getting a pop when you walk out there? Not really. Yeah.

Yeah. I know there were Nate Land fans there, but it didn't seem like there was a. You should go out and go. You guys know that Nate has a podcast? I'm on it. I'm a big part of it. I'm on it every week. Yeah.

Well, they, you know, they, Julian would introduce me from the podcast and, and there's, you know, they advertise it before the show that we have a podcast but and maybe there were a lot of Nate Land fans there but I didn't since Nate has a very big audience

other than this podcast for sure right right so that's awesome man yeah it was fun fun weekend

I was in Tulsa, Oklahoma the Tulsa Looney Bin it's my second time there there's a new owner since the last time I was there okay this guy Mason is really doing a great job with it man put a green room in Looney Bin. It's my second time there. There's a new owner since the last time I was there. Okay.

This guy, Mason, is really doing a great job with it, man. He put a green room in, great green room. The shows were good. One was pretty wild. People got kicked out. Wouldn't be Tulsa if it wasn't. I know. I got the full Tulsa experience. Yeah.

Some of the nicest people on earth and then just some of the most embarrassing. Yeah. But great weekend. Thank you to everybody who came out. I have a little, this is what happened on the way back. So I landed in Nashville. We've talked about it before, how bad the baggage claim is. So bad.

At the Nashville airport. Maybe the worst in the country. I think it is. At what is otherwise a pretty great airport. Yeah. There's something about the baggage claim that's a problem. And you fly Southwest. I fly Southwest. See, I wrote to BNA, that's a problem. You fly Southwest. I fly Southwest.

See, I wrote to BNA, that's our airport the other day, and they blamed it on the airline, American Airlines. And I'm like, I don't think so. Interesting. Yeah. Anyway, go ahead. So I get back, I'm waiting on my bag and they start coming out from our flight and this happens. I'm going to send, I pulled up a picture. I i took it there's a little traffic jam coming out of the uh coming onto the carousel that red suitcase got wedged in that crazy looking one yeah and it just started a backup yeah so all that needs to happen is that bag needs to be pulled up yeah so this is an interesting question just how would you handle this i'm standing right in front of it it gets wedged in i look over there's an employee right there and i go can i just hop over and pull that out and she goes absolutely not and i go okay well

can you come over and pull it out everybody's waiting on their bags she goes no i have to call somebody so she calls somebody on her radio we're standing there for like another five minutes yeah and i can i just hop over it'll take two seconds it'll take two seconds to unclog this she goes absolutely not you are not allowed to be on the carousel so we're all standing around this is 20 minutes we're all just standing looking at what is can be solved in five seconds. Is the belt still moving? The belt's still moving under these bags. Well, I'll tell you what I do because I've experienced this like three times. I just jump up there and take it off.

I don't ask anybody. I just jump right up there and snatch it out of there. Well, this is what's interesting. I wanted to do that too, but she was like, absolutely not. So I just stood there. I was a little bit of a coward in the moment. I also realized part of me enjoys being annoyed at stuff like this. So I kind of enjoyed the moment, the camaraderie of everybody standing around complaining about this woman.

She's 10 feet away from us, but everybody's talking trash about her. It was kind of great. And how this ended up being resolved was she turned her back, and out of nowhere, this little Asian woman jumps up over it and goes, yanks it out, yanks it out, and everybody goes nuts. She saved the day for everybody. She jumps back. But I remember, I'm just staring at this employee, like, just hop over and do it for us. I know. If we're not allowed to do it. Just hearing you talk about it makes me so mad

because I don't let any of those airport workers have authority over me. The TSA, it's like I have to obey you because you can talk to the police, but it's so annoying. All of this airport people, absolutely not. You could not jump up there. You could not jump on the carousel. But it's like you can jump up there. Yeah. That's why I don't ask a permission from these people. This is another thing. American Airlines has these, once you reach a certain status,

they have these priority stickers that they put on your bag. And that means that your bags come out first. It's just a thing where you have status. Yeah, it's clear for your bags. It's a nice little perk to have. Right, have. Nashville, they don't even... My bag could be the last one out. I like that. We have a comment about that, actually. Did you mention that last week? It happened again. I asked the lady. I go, why do you guys not...

She goes, I don't know. I don't know. That's like, well, talk to somebody. But, dude, some of the comments being made about this woman were so funny, dude. Can you say some of them? Not a lot. I'll tell you off air because they were a little crude.

But it was a lot of these women going, bye, have a good day. You ain't done nothing yet. Oh, it was so great, dude. I love that. Yeah, yeah. She's just sitting there not doing a thing. Right. You're like, I got to call somebody. I did it yesterday.

Yesterday, as soon as this happened, I just jumped up there and unclogged it because I'm like, we're not, I'm trying to get home. Yeah. I got six bags coming out and two strollers. But this was 15 to 20 minutes. I've never seen a problem so obvious what it is. Yeah. And such an easy fix and just nothing being done about it. Yeah. But it was kind of fun. I kind of enjoyed it. On my Southwest flight home yesterday, there was a little bag underneath my seat when I sat down.

Like I guess maybe from the previous flight or something, they didn't see it or whatever. And I'm like, what is this? And I reached down to like, it's a brown paper bag to pick it up. And underneath my seat, a little dog sticks its head out. And at that very moment, it is so freaky when you don't know there's a dog. And all of a sudden, something comes out underneath your seat. And I'm like, whoa.

And then I pick up the bag, and I turn to the person behind me. And I said, is this your bag? And it's a blind woman. That's her seen-eye dog. Oh, my goodness. And she's like, well well what is it and she's feeling she's like and i'm like i'm trying to describe it to her and she's feeling and she's like no that's not mine but the dog it was food in it from probably a previous flight so the dog

was just sniffing it and oh okay and was trying to get to it oh Oh, man. So now I got just a dog around my feet the whole trip. Wow. I got so fired up about that airport thing, by the way. Yeah, I can tell. It's still in me. You're going to retroactively go down there and do something. I just hate. It's just this whole.

It's like, oh, I can't do anything about it. We see the problem, but I can't do anything about it and i can't let you fix and i understand that she has to tell you you can't get on the carousel because if you trip and get hurt you can see their libel or whatever yeah but how about you just hop over there and do yeah real quick but if you just do it they can't stop you right and that that's what happened yeah i think it's my turn to read the comments all All right, let's get into it. And if you are struggling with your voice, we can take it. Yeah, if you have to cough and clear your throat throughout. I'm sorry, guys.

No, no, no. No, stop that. But I'm just saying I saw you struggling earlier. It sounds okay now. But if you are struggling, just let us know. We are a team here. We are a team here at Nate Lang. Thank you, Aaron.

Even though it doesn't seem that way sometimes. I wish it was on Nate's shoulders. All right. Comments come from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcast Reviews, and nateland at natebargatze.com. Or a Facebook Messenger, Brian Bates' personal Facebook page. No, no, no. Or you can personally hand it to me at a show.

Yeah, that's fine. And if I can manage to hang on to it without losing it, I'll read it on here. You'll lose it. People always continue to ask, where are all these comments? The majority, I will say, come from YouTube and the email, nateland at natebargatsey.com. That is

the majority, but I've pulled from all these places, just so everyone knows. Kayla Hargrove. This was one of the best episodes so far. I work from home, and the days get very boring, but I always look forward to Wednesdays. Also completely agree with this week's rant about entertainment. The band's perspective is probably why they all are doing so well well thank you kayla interesting i uh i've started to kind of change my mind though since last week have you really based on some of the comments from people i do think there's a little

bit of remember when kind of just back in my day kind of of, you know, some of the people, some of the comments about shows or movies they watched back in the day, I'm like, do you not remember these movies? They weren't as clean as you think they were. Yeah, there's always some crazy stuff in there that you forget about. But I think a lot of it's just nostalgia. Yeah. Because everyone likes the shows or the movies from a certain era. I agree to a degree. I think because in the 90s, things were pretty dirty that I think we think we're clear.

In the 80s. But I was watching – what was the movie? It's a David Spade movie where he – The Wrong Missy. I was watching that movie, and I thought that movie was really good. But there were like – the music and like stuff it would be like unnecessarily dirty like where i'm like whoa we didn't need this song to pop in here all of a sudden where it's just like really explicit lyrics where otherwise it's uh you know pretty like pretty tame and i just think that that that's kind of the issue for me is that a lot of this stuff is just like unnecessary

crudeness gratuitous yeah where it doesn't it doesn't bring anything to the table sure it's like somebody was talking about the the show the movie nate watched i read on a comment like they were like it showed you know full-on you know the full package of of these people and i'm like and i'm like is that too much the full package of these no i think it's funny that's a funny way to say it and it's like uh well and it's like when you showed the trailer just the trailer i was watching i was like oh well that's telling you what you're about to see right so if you're watching this show and then you're surprised by that i'm like yeah you you need to wake up a little bit because this the trailer is telling you that that's what it's going to be and if you don't want to keep seeing it we'll quit watching it and the ratings will

get so low that people you know they'll be forced right it's market driven yes well that's one example sometimes these movies are so old and you see them on TBS or something where they've been edited and you forget because they've cut out a lot of it. Yes. One example was National Lampoon's Vacation. I love that movie, but I've watched the TBS version for 40 years. If you watch it unedited, there's some stuff in there. Yeah. Most movies are.

For sure. it, there's some stuff in there. There are some brutal parts of Shawshank that have never been seen by people if they only watched it on TNT or TBS. There's some stuff going on in that prison. Prison's not a good place to be. Absolutely. I'll just say that. I guess for dramas, I give it more

leeway because it's trying to show a dark period of prison. Saving Private Ryan's incredibly violent, but obviously, whatever. Comedies is when it seems like it's trying to show a dark yeah period of prison saving private ryan's incredibly violent but obviously right whatever comedies is when it seems like it's gratuitous like did that have to really be in there yeah i think a lot of times the language it gets really bad like like old comedies i think they would have some language in there but you know it would be it would somehow add to it i just think now we're so loose with the language where we don't we don't get creative with what we're saying because you just drop a bunch of F-bombs. The comedy catch, Chattanooga, the song they play when the show's over.

Oh, yeah. Just get the bleep out. Yeah. And the last time I was there, Danielle came up to me. She's like, hey, I'm so sorry. I didn't even think about your crowd, Nate Land crowd or whatever. Oh, yeah. You know, that we're playing that.

Because it just plays it over and over and over. So it's just kind of funny. Yeah, it's like if you got a really rowdy crowd, it's like, sure, play that song. But it's like, I'm sure the Nate Land crowd, even my audience, which is not all Nate Land people, they're gonna get out we're not we're not lingering trying to steal or whatever people tell me all over the place how nice my audience is and it's like uh it's like that song yeah that song is over the top that's like yeah take it easy my grandmother's in here. She has a walker. Give her a second. She's 90.

Yeah. All right. Anjali. But thank you, Caleb. Anjali, maybe. Oh, Anjali. Anjali Rikafort. That's a tough name all the way around.

I just want to say thank you to Aaron for recommending the tennis racket Bug Killer. Worked like magic, solved my problem. There you go. I know all kinds of cool stuff. You know, if you need some products. That name is not who I'm expecting to be buying the racket bug killer. And jelly recicort. Yeah.

Yeah, we all got flies. We all got mosquitoes out here. Yeah. yeah yeah we all got flies we all got mosquitoes out here yeah it's the last great uh it's bringing us all together it's the last great unifier yeah yeah yeah in the american culture that's right aaron rodriguez have you guys seen any uh cicadas yet by the way no are they out and about yesterday when i got home i saw a lot of cicada, like exoskeletons around my yard. Yeah. Yeah. I've been gone for about a week, and I mean, they were all over the place.

Yeah, they're here now. Yeah. Aaron Rodriguez, the airline I work for sets up our baggage cart so that priority tags go to the front of the carts so they can be the first ones off at the claim belt. If Dusty's bags are routinely not at the front, then that is 100% on the ramp workers. Dusty can call the airline, check his app for a survey, or find some way to bring it to the airline's attention. Decisions at the airline are made based on passengers speaking up about things that need to be improved. All right. I appreciate this, Aaron, because I did complain to the airport about, and not even about that, about

various other things, but the bag, I mean, baggage in Nashville, Nashville has a great airport. I love that airport. It's cool. There's a lot of good food options. There's a lot of good coffee options. There's live music everywhere. It's got real character, but the baggage is so bad. When I land in LA or New York, very busy airports. By the time I get to my thing, whatever it is, the conveyor belt, my bag's already circulating. cell phone waiting lot at least we can't find it yeah and then they won't let you hang out there so my wife is loading up the two kids coming to pick me up we try to plan it out and then i'm so often i'm just standing there waiting on my bag and my wife's calling me where you at i'm like i don't know my bag's not here yet you gotta just uber home yeah i don't know i hate uber i'd love to go ahead and get in there and see my family. Yeah. Instead of riding with some stranger. Now you're putting it on them, though.

She's going to load everybody up. This is not worth the hassle. They like coming to see me. Do they, though? They do. Okay. My daughter loves it. All right.

They love it. My wife has never picked me up from the airport. Oh, yeah. We live five minutes from the airport, dude. Well, my dumb mistake by not planning well cost me i mean i was at the airport airport for five days it's 150 dollars wait till you wait till you uh you have your kid though lucy will be like let me put this kid in the car seat and drive around a little bit oh just to get out of the house just to do something yeah maybe the kid goes to sleep yeah Well, we'll see. J.K. Albano.

J.K. That's great. I like that. J.K. J.K. Rowling. J.K. Albano. Little tip from a library science grad student. I'm assuming that's J.K.

You can check out almost any DVD from your public library, and if your branch doesn't have it, they can usually get it for you. Wow. Okay. That's fun. Go get a get it for you. Wow, okay. That's fun. Go get a little Shawshank. No, what was I saying? Oh, Sling Blade. Sling Blade, yeah.

Well, he says usually. Right. They may not be able to. Depends on how good the library is, too, I bet. Yeah. I feel like JK's a woman. Potentially. And I feel like JK could be like,

ah, JK. I didn't go no grad student. Yeah. But for me, the joy of DVD collections was having them and keeping them. Exactly. I think a lot of these libraries, right back in JK,

because I think a lot of these libraries no longer back in JK, because I think a lot of these libraries no longer have late fees for anything. Oh, yeah. They've banned late fees because that was disproportionately affecting poorer people that just couldn't bring stuff back. So a lot of these libraries no longer have late fees. So in theory, I could just steal all these DVDs

and have a pretty good collection. I don't agree that they can't get back to the library. I don't understand the reasoning there. You there well they banned late they banned late fees because it they would compound and then they would and then they would go oh now i'm definitely not bringing it in if it's going to cost me 50 bucks when i bring it back well i think it should only go to the value of the dvd well that's an interesting theory you know what i mean i would love a library scientist to write it and give us their thoughts. Yeah, it's like the late fee goes until it costs what it costs the place to get that, and then they go, just buy it. Just pay us for the DVD, and you can have it.

Yeah, right. 2017, the Nashville Public Library made a revolutionary change to its services. It abolished all overdue fines. Yeah, revolutionary. Hey, stuff's free in here now. Check it out, and then you don't got to bring it back. This is a revolutionary idea. We'll let you borrow something, and you don't have to bring it back.

But this right here is saying they did some studies, and they said the fees discourage people from using the library at all. So the whole purpose of the library is people to come check out books. I think what it discourages is people learning to be able to return things on time. Who did the study? They always say they did a study. I never thought you'd be arguing for more money to go to the government. I'm just saying that.

It's like, what is the study here? We go, we ask some people, hey, what's keeping you from coming to the library? Ah, the late fees. Oh, is it? that's what it is the late feed is it that or you don't like to read yeah i mean i don't yeah i don't go to the library but it's not the late phase it's the book that's he's not a book guy yeah i mean i'm not for fines fees, but I am for like if you borrow something, return it. We can still do that. You just won't be penalized monetarily. It does say you'll be charged for lost material.

Okay. All right. I like that. If you don't bring it back, you still get charged. I like that. I'm into it. Yeah. Jacob Klutz. get charged i like that i'm into it yeah uh jacob klutz i i do want to i just am for a society like a trust society where it's like if i let you borrow this no you're not you bring it back

yeah that's what i'm into sure and you say hey i go hey i'm gonna let you borrow this but will you bring it back on friday and then you go yeah i'll bring it back on friday and then you do bring it back but let's say something happens maybe you're in a car accident on friday and then you go, yeah, I'll bring it back on Friday. And then you do bring it back. But let's say something happens. Maybe you're in a car accident on Friday, and then you have to bring it in on Saturday. You shouldn't be penalized for that, right? Well, that's true. So let's just get rid of late fees altogether. Get rid of all laws.

Yeah. Now we're talking, right? Well, some laws, yeah. Marshall Law. Yeah, yeah. Jacob Klutz. Hello, folks. Dust hello folks dusty oh here goes my voice sorry i'm just kidding i'm just messing with you uh dusty could do a special filmed with a trailer park background with the front porch bug zapper right there on stage.

Kill two bugs with one stone. That is true. You know, I always wanted to do a trailer park themed special, but now I don't really do trailer park jokes. Do you remember one of your and Nate's first reactions on that live stream? Do you remember that? Yeah, I've chose to forget about it. We don't have to.

I'll move on. It's very upsetting to me. So I chose to block it out. We've all moved on. We're friends now. Everybody's friends. All right, I'm sorry. That's okay.

I thought it was funny. I'll be the only time DraftKings drops somebody. I'm sorry. You talking about Baby Davis? Baby Davis? I thought that's what they call him. talking about Baby Davis? Baby Davis? I thought that's what they call him. Glenn Big Baby Davis? Anthony. Anthony Davis. Talking about Anthony Davis on the Lakers with the unibrow?

Yeah. I don't think they call him... Well, Anthony Davis Baby Mom came up. That's probably not what we're looking for. I've never heard him called baby. I haven't either. But there was a guy, Big Baby Davis.

Big Baby Glenn, Big Baby Davis. Played at LSU. That's probably who I'm talking about. But that was like 20 years ago. Yeah. All right. Last time I watched a basketball game. I was 11.

I was forced to by my dad. No, I'd have been 21. I was at a bar, I guess. How old am I? Okay. I was forced to by my dad. No, I'd have been 21. Yeah, I was at a bar, I guess. How old am I? Okay. Oh. Worlds apart. Honestly, very happy to hear that Aaron saw an opportunity to go outside and toss a baseball around with a friend.

The dad who gave them the weird look is the one who should be embarrassed. I agree. The world would probably be a better place if adults remembered how fun it is just to toss or kick a ball around every once in a while. I've never agreed with a comment so more. So much. So much. So much.

I like this. This is good. I mean, that's what I said that day. It's like, it's ridiculous. Two guys out there throwing a ball around. It's like, what do you want people to be doing? I don't think it was about us throwing a ball around. It's like, what do you want people to be doing?

I don't think it was about us throwing a ball. I think it was that these kids were warming up for their games and we threw a ball into their personal space. But I just think that shows how people, I hear more and more people talking about this, how youth sports is out of control now, so expensive. It's being taken so seriously. And I think that's just it. That dad needs to relax.

Let those kids have a little fun. Let you have a little fun. I agree. He's too stressed about it how old were these kids nine or ten probably yeah because i go to my daughter the park and some of these really small like soccer youth groups they're just trying so hard to corral these kids right that one extra thing can really set you up hit a line drive into their thing and it barely missed a kid, I get it. And they look over and we're ripping cigarettes on the field or whatever, and they're like, come on, dude.

Exactly. You're just throwing a ball around and it happened to go. Yeah, they got to relax. Now, if you didn't have a field, would it have ever motivated you to get your glove out and throw? No. It's funny how that works. You're just standing right next to a baseball field.

Let's walk over here and throw the ball around. Yeah. Well, thank you worlds apart. I like the smell of a baseball field. I can feel like I can remember how it smells. You smell the chalk out there and just how it all... I like the smell out there. Yeah, a little waft of a trash can that needs to be

taken out. My mom played a lot of softball and I used to be out there all the time. I played a little little league baseball myself. Dixie youth, probably. Dixie youth, yeah. And it was fun. Yeah, the smells can take you back, right? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. You ever walk into your old high school years after, and you just smell, and you're like, God, it just smells like this high school. It's crazy. Yeah. No. Mine's been demolished. After the schools were integrated?

It's a historical site now? That's funny. Thomas, what do you think? Altillo? Altillo, yeah, I think so. I was hoping to hear hear dusty's experience with the eclipse and it did not disappoint thinking something was wrong with the sun he just runs outside kind of covers his eyes and his wife doesn't at all after thinking glad that didn't

fall out of the sky he goes back to stacking rocks in 2024 you experience an eclipse the same way you could have in 8 000000 B.C. Yeah, absolutely. You think the world's been around that long? Okay. You said absolutely, so apparently. 8,000 is okay. Mr. Evolution over here. No, I'm okay with an 8,000.

It's like I don't think any of us know exactly. What I get, my problem is when they go, the world's 800 trillion years old, and it's like, you don't even know what that is. Not 800 trillion. What's the difference, really, though? 13 billion. Yeah. I mean, really. I mean, I get it that 800 trillion is a lot older than 13 billion, but 13 billion is so long.

No one has any idea. Any scientist that comes out and goes, yeah, that's what it is. It's like, all right, you're not a good scientist. Get out of the room. What room is this? Whatever room they're in. This is a press conference. You're out.

Get out of the room, buddy. You're not bringing anything real to this conversation. Making up things. Why don't you go write a Marvel movie? Jackson Creek. Regarding Aaron's barefoot man sighting at the Omaha Zoo, when me and my brothers were younger, my parents took us to the zoo in Omaha. My little brother and dad took a ride on the Skyfari,

and my little brother knocked my dad's sandal into the rhino pit. This was within 15 minutes of arriving at the zoo, so my dad was also a barefoot man at the Omaha Zoo that day. That's interesting. We saw that. I didn't know it was called the Skyfari, but I like that. It's like a ski lift that goes across the whole zoo. It wasn't operational when we were there, but maybe that's what happened. Maybe. Maybe he lost a sandal somewhere and then you're not going to walk around with one. Well, that's what, yeah.

Interesting. Yeah. I mean, I try to have a little more empathy when I see people like that. Please do. I've blown out flip-flops before. And yeah, you got to lose them both. I walk heavy on one foot, especially when I was drinking. Which one?

Would you really walk heavier on one foot than the other? Well, I've blown out a few flip-flops, and it's always the same foot. But it's been a long time since I wore flip-flops, but I think it is the left foot. Wow. And you're left-handed, right? Left-handed, yeah. Well, that's your dominant foot. I was in Savannah, Georgia.

I made a big day of drinking. That cobblestone will get you, dude. We were eating some crawfish, and I just blew out a flip-flop out there. And when you say blowout, you mean it just tore it apart? Yeah. Yeah. Popped out. Like Jimmy Buffett.

What else could he be? Well, just no other shoe you say blowout. I guess just because the Jimmy Buffett song, that's just how you describe a flip-flop not working. Yeah, blew out a flip-flop. Stepped on a pop-top. Yeah, that's fair. you describe a flip-flop not working. Yeah, blew out a flip-flop. Stepped on a pop-tart. Yeah, that's fair. Cut my heel. Had to cruise on back home.

Yeah. With his blues in the blender. Is it blues? Booze. Booze. I always said blues, though, because I just thought it was like, you know, kind of a musical reference. But I think he does say booze in the blender. Adam Copeland recently discovered the podcast and does say booze in the blender. Adam Copeland,

recently discovered the podcast and have watched about 25 in the past week. It's been great, but the only problem I have is I started to speak like Dusty Slay in day-to-day life. All right. Even my internal monologue now sounds like Dusty. My wife is worried,

but me, I'm having a great time. All right. Good time. Having a good time. But I'm having a great time. All right. Good time. Having a good time, but I'm okay with great time. You know what? It's a good way to live. I mean, keep that going. I mean, you know, the thing about this is how I live. Be skeptical of everything, but also be having a good time because it don't matter. None of it matters matters we're just out here living our lives just floating around living our lives if the bags get clogged up just jump up there and unclog it right you know right if the lady goes comes over and yells at you she won't because nobody cares about their jobs out

here right you know she ain't gonna yell at you brian what would you have done in that situation uh i would just waited patiently. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I did. Last two times I've been at the airport, I've unclogged it. I wouldn't even have been the person who spoke up to ask her. You would have stood in the back and just go, oh, boy. Yeah, which I assume that's what the majority of people did. Yeah, and more people just stood there and didn't do a thing. I understand, obviously, like we've said already,

why a person couldn't jump up there for legal reasons. I even understand if that's not her job, she could get in trouble, I guess. But it sounds like she had no empathy or was like, let me see what I can do. I'm so sorry. That's the part I have a problem with. This is what you do. They come over and they go, you're not allowed to jump up on there like that. And I go, oh, that wasn't me.

Gaslighter. Yeah, up on there like that. And I go, oh, that wasn't me. Gaslighter. Yeah, I didn't do that. And they go, sir, you're the only guy that looks like you here. Yeah. But I didn't jump up on there, so I don't know what you saw. You checked the footage. Yeah. I'm glad it's unclogged, but I don't know who did it.

Yeah. Whoever did it's a great guy, but I didn't touch it. Matt McCann, how difficult is it or how often do you have to adjust your personality for different radio hosts, podcasts, et cetera? I don't think that I ever adjust it, but it is like airing that one day. Now, I try to not be as bad as that,

but it's like when i start talking to the radio host i'm already like in gear i'm geared up you know and then when they when they when they go when they do do the thing that he thought they were going to do when we're going to record now then you go all right we're having a good time and then i try to do i try to get into a real joke mode yeah but for the most part there's no adjustment i just am who i am if i find it's going to be we're talking for an hour versus five minutes then i i tone it down yeah an hour we're having a conversation five minutes i'm trying to get as many laughs yeah i'm being real punchy yeah getting some jokes in there i guess i'm the same way uh yeah same way i mean i'm not doing as many as you are but i mean we did press in

tulsa i brought zach townsend was with me this weekend so i brought him to radio we did this talk show and right when we got there they were like you know coming in after you somebody from the tulsa zoo they got a new bug exhibit that they want to talk about. So Zach hears that and he thinks, all right, well, all I'm talking about is bugs on this interview. So we sit down and they're talking to me and then they go, Zach, you excited to be here in Tulsa? And he goes, oh yeah, I heard there's a new bug exhibit at the zoo. I'll be honest. That's the only reason I'm here. I just want to see those bugs. And the host was nice. She's like, oh, are you like, you're like really into bugs? He's like, I'm obsessed with bugs. She goes, well, what's like, oh, you're really into bugs? He's like, I'm obsessed with bugs.

She goes, well, tell me a little bit about the show. He's like, well, I mostly talk about bugs on stage. I love it. He's like, I have a lot of props, a lot of bug jokes. And then she goes, well, who are some of your favorite comics? He's like, I love Bug Stanhope. That's great. This is all going over her head,

but I'm dying over there. That's awesome. He just kept talking about bugs. It was so funny. There's no video of that interview, but there's audio of it somewhere. I mean, that was on the radio. Just this guy talking about bugs.

To the point where I had to be like, if you are listening, it's not just bug stuff at my show tonight it's like a normal show you know but yeah it's fun find a way to have fun with it like that um died off quick I looked up y'all weren't even looking at me no I'm sorry I was looking I apologize for my that's okay my voice is voice is doing fine. It's in and out. It's in and out. Hashtag dump Brian.

You should smoke more. You should, dude. Build a little tolerance. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Air's bogging you down. Let me... I got two more.

I know. You skipping them? Yeah, why don't we save those for another time? And you are by far the best ad reader. I do. Well, let's take it easy. I mean, he does a pretty good job, but I'm here too, you know. You do a good job.

Yeah, you are here. Yeah. I'm just kidding. I mean, look how much Brian's ad made us laugh, though. I mean, that's an entertaining ad. That is true. Yeah. How have I gotten so good

that it's boring now well i think sometimes you know they want like such a good ad read but i'm like i think it's more important to create the kind of ad read that the podcast listener goes well i don't want to listen to the ad i could just go skip skip but there might be some jokes in here there might be some fun stuff here. There might be some fun stuff. I don't disagree with you. It's a little hurtful you found a way to spin that into I'm somehow the worst. Brian's like, you're the best. Well,

actually, you're the worst. What you're doing is detrimental. You are very good at it, though. I've seen a couple of comments recently on your data thing, and I think that's great. I love when people don't like it some some people i don't like it and i'm like i'm like relax i'm just trying to you know people say it differently i'm trying to you said two words and it took you an extra two seconds the guy

you got this guy's like does anybody else find this annoying but he goes data data and it's like it took you longer to write this comment than, who else? Is there anybody else out there? Because I just know that I'm sitting at home, and I'm watching this, and I'm going, stop saying two words. Some guy's screaming at a YouTube video. It's funny to think about. It's Dana. Is it just me?

Yeah, it might just be you. Yeah, a lot of people, not a lot, some say, Brian, why don't you just insert the ads? You're always derailing the conversation. First of all, I don't make those decisions. Right. I do what I'm told. But I think a lot of people like the live ad reads because it brings some fun moments. Right.

Just like you said. Yeah. Unless Mr. Robot's reading over here. Let me tell you about Rocket Money. Oh, dang, dude. Oh, man. No, you do a great job. You are the best ad reader.

Brian's on high T today, dude. You are the best ad reader. Oh, well, thank you. Thank you. That's all I got. You have a great voice. Thank you. Actually, you know what?

You want to read that last one? I just want to read the last one since we talked about it. Yeah, go ahead. This is from Dan Kroll. I'm convinced that Aaron is the voice actor for Brian the dog on Family Guy. Seth MacFarlane. Yeah. And this week's podcast is about.

Look at that. Cartoons. Cartoons. What a segue, dude. I should be doing the segues up in here. Well, I did put that last for that reason, but then I'm also the one that bailed on it because we were getting behind. Yeah, you did do it. Deep down, you are controlling the whole podcast.

Everybody knows it. I am. Everybody knows it. Now, Pace Magazine, they better know it. Pace Magazine last week put out a list of the 30 greatest cartoons of all time, 50 greatest cartoons of all time. So I don't know how you guys want to... 50, okay. I don't know how

you guys want to start this, but I don't know if we just want to deep dive into this or... Well, I like the idea. I think maybe we should do our own list first and then see where they rank up. Dusty pointed out that we're three different generations. I don't know if that's 10 years probably isn't a generation.

But enough that our cartoons are different. Well, us three in particular, right? You're what? 31? 32, yeah. Alright, I'm 42 this year. Wow. Next week, right? Yeah. The 18th of May. 52. 32, 42. Right, so we're just... Yeah, perfect drawings so even though these are not just separate generations that's

enough that we all watch different shows growing up but did you when did you guys watch cartoons was it saturday morning cartoons like how did you consume these things as as children well saturday mornings was a big deal yeah but also there was Nickelodeon for me, which was big. And as a kid, and I don't know where some of these were at. I'm going to go. This is the 10, and I'm just going to rattle them off. Can I answer his question before you take over the podcast? I just want to set the stage first.

Hold your thoughts. I watched Saturday mornings. Yeah. And I did not have even Nickelodeon. I just had three channels. ABC, CBS. And NBC. NBC.

And Fox didn't exist, but there was a fourth channel. UPN. The WB. No, it was like... It was Fox before Fox. WB was big fourth channel. UPN? The WB? No, it was like... It was Fox before Fox. WB was big back then. You think it was just CBS, ABC, NBC, and the WB? I feel like I used to watch the WB a lot.

I don't think the WB was even a thing. But I would watch some of these in syndication. There's youngsters coming in here trashing the wb you grew up in a different wb my only tv credit is the cw so i'm not trashing i'm not trashing the wb it's predecessor anyway some of these i watch like in syndication like afternoon after school or or whatever right but most of these are saturday morning all right i just wanted to answer your question. Go ahead.

Would you sit in front of the TV, bowl of cereal? Oh, yeah. I think so. Oh, yeah. I mean, there was no way to queue up anything, right? Like now, like I had, you know, VHS. I had Looney Tunes on a VHS tape. But it was like, other than that, there was no way to queue up a cartoon. Yeah.

You know, you just had to watch what was coming on. Were you taping stuff? Were y'all taping stuff from the TV? Yeah, a lot of times. We didn't have VCRs when I was really small. My mom worked at a plant that made VHS tapes. So that's what y'all were doing that a lot. Yeah, we had the hookup.

Yeah. Yeah. So what would you watch? What were your go-tos? Well, maybe we should start. I'm the middle. So maybe we start with Brian. All right. Okay.

What are we doing? And then work our way down. Just give us your favorite cartoons. I want to hear what it is. I want to hear what the plot is. I want to hear why you like it. You gave us kind of two categories, all time and children. Yeah.

I mean, I guess what I did was kind of what I watched as a kid and then what I watched as an adult. All right. Well, as a kid, here's five. Number one, Looney Tunes. Now, generally what I would say is Bugs Bunny because he was the star, but that also is Daffy Duck, the Roadrunner, Coyote. All those are under.

Yosemite Sam, too. Is he one of them? Yosemite Sam. He was always in a Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck, too. Daffy Duck, the Roadrunner, Coyote, all those are under. Yosemite Sam, too. Is he one of them? Yosemite Sam. He was always in a Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck. He was the bad guy. Like Elmer Fudd was the bad guy, right? With both of those two, yeah. Yosemite Sam was trying to kill Bugs Bunny as well?

Yosemite Sam was maybe in Daffy Duck. Yeah, yeah. He was like, had the guns. So all these Looney Tunes were just an animal and then somebody trying to kill it. Yeah. There was a lot of that. Oh, yeah. Because the Roadrunner too.

Was that Looney Tunes? Yeah. Yeah. And that was the. Coyote. It was trying to. Yeah. Trying to kill the Roadrunner.

They're actually pretty violent. Yeah. I mean, I like them, but they are like, it is constantly hitting something over the head with a pan or a rock or shooting. Well, it's a cartoon. Who cares? You can do whatever in a cartoon. Sylvester and Tweety Bird.

He's trying to eat Tweety Bird. There it is. Tom and Jerry. The cat's trying to eat the mouse. Tom and Jerry was Looney Tunes too? No. Okay. Was that a separate?

I think that was Hanna-Barbera. Oh. But it still is a lot of classical music with a cartoon. Not a lot of words. Yeah, so still those same vibe. Now, I didn't know this until I looked it up. Looney Tunes had been around since the 30s or 40s when they first started. And some of those, maybe not that old, but as far back as the 60s,

they would re-air when I was a kid. There were some references that I obviously didn't get. They had some Humphrey Bogart and different characters. There's some really Asian stereotypes in some of these. There's a lot. There's a lot that age. You get too far back in Looney Tunes. You're like, ah, yes.

Come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet even at the time, you're like, ugh. Well, if you watch it now, for sure. Yeah. But when I was a kid, yeah, you weren't thinking about it. Yeah, but i love bugs bunny i thought he was so funny and and um me personally when i watch bugs bunny now i think he's you know

kind of a prick uh you know what i mean when you watch him now you're like like kind of a jerk out here guys guys try to kill him the whole you know i guess you're right about you can get a few quips in if you're being shot i actually feel sorry for elmer fudd when i watch him i don't know i just did he's just such a pitiful guy or daffy duck so you should feel sorry for it yes you know he'll trick elmer fudd into shooting daffy's face off yeah is elmer fudd a kid or is he supposed to be a full-blown adult supposed to be me yeah yeah that's true that is true he's a guy in his 50s with, I don't know. But I love Bugs Bunny. And, you know, the Roadrunner and Coyote, not really into that so much.

I think a lot of people felt this way. They kind of rooted for the Coyote because you started feeling sorry for him. And there was no dialogue. Right. You know these cartoons, right? Sure, sure. There was no dialogue. Right.

You know these cartoons, right? Sure, sure. And obviously, with Porky Pig, it would end with... That's all, folks. That's all, folks. Bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep. Today, Junior. Numerous people have suggested that's how we end our podcast with, that's all, folks.

That's where it comes from. My T-shirt is me like Porky Pig busting out there. Now there'll be new merch with you as Elmer Fudd. And Nate as Bugs Bunny. Yeah. I'll go

faster on these. Are you showing this stuff to your daughter yet? No. You don't think that they're too young? She just has her own cartoons that are much more age appropriate. I mean, someday maybe, but. I've tried to show Daisy some of these. She ain't into it.

Really? Yeah. What is it, the animation, you think? It just looks so bad compared to modern animation? Yeah. I'll try to put some on. I'll be on YouTube, and I'll try to put. She'll go, no, no, not this, not this.

But it is. The older she gets, the more I'm like, oh, and I'll try to put it. She goes, no, no, not this, not this. But it is. The older she gets, the more I'm like, oh, this is really violent, though. I really try to keep Daisy away from seeing violent stuff. Even if it's animals in a cartoon? Yeah. That's probably good. She's so sweet. She doesn't want to hit anybody.

She's so sweet with her little brother, and I just want to keep it that way. I'm going to show my daughter saving Private Ryan when she's six months old. Just the first ten minutes on repeat. Yeah. Yeah, my daughter watches Peppa Pig, Bluey. We've covered this. A lot of adults love Bluey. It's like one of their favorite shows for adults.

That's weird. All right. Well, Drew Harrison is a big Bluey fan. He says it's a good cartoon. It is good. Have you watched it? No. He says it's good. Is it like Blue's Clues? No, it's like a cartoon dog family.

I wouldn't watch it if I didn't have kids, but it's something I can enjoy while she watches it. Drew does watch it without kids. Drew's into it. I'll go a little faster i don't care yeah um yeah i mean he says he can't wait for my daughter to finally be into bluey because she's not into it so that me and him can talk about bluey and i mean i'm into it my daughter's not into it as much she's more peppa pig and stuff like that yeah um right. Inspector Gadget.

Inspector Gadget. Oh, man. I forgot Inspector Gadget. I used to love... I'm adding that to number three for me. Okay. Smurfs. Smurfs were big right when I was the age to really be in the cartoons.

I liked Smurfs. It wouldn't make my top ten, but I did like that one. Super Friends. That was superheroes that... Never heard of that. I remember that a little bit. What is Super Friends? It was...

Probably like Avengers. Yeah, I think this was DC, though. I think this was Superman. Is this where it combined the rings? Is that the Super Friends? No, that's Captain Planet, though. That's a good one, too. Oh, man.

Dang, I used to watch that one. I forgot about that. I used to watch that one a lot. What is that? Is that the guy's... Captain Planet, though. That's a good one, too. Oh, man. Dang, I used to watch that one. I forgot about that. I used to watch that one a lot. What is that? Is that the guy's... Captain Planet, he's our hero. Gonna take pollution down to zero. That was all about global warming and stuff?

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. You're talking about the Wonder Twins? I have no idea. This is all before my time. Captain Planet. Super Friends cartoon. They all had rings. Oh, this is literally Superman and his friends.

It's like, what's the movie with Batman and Superman? They all combined. Batman versus Superman? Justice League. Justice League. Yeah, it's kind of that.

What was the one now that I got to think about that Wonder Twins Activator or whatever? Something like that, yeah, where the rings would touch and it would go. Yeah, but see,

with this one, they had five rings. It was Earth, yeah, where the rings would touch and it would go... With this one, they had five rings. It was earth, wind, water, animals, fire, yeah. And then they would all combine and that's when Captain Planet would come out. Some people would be bulldozing a

forest and they would go, they would bring their rings together and Captain Planet would come out and, I don't know, stop it. And then they would go, but we need wood to live yeah and then they wouldn't listen to him and it was probably brainwashing to try to get me into uh global warming and stuff but i escaped it i was like i still hate pollution and i'm down to keep pollution down yeah yeah i haven't heard any of those i'm not buying into the propaganda though and then uh speed racer speed racer never watched someone

just told me recently their parents would not let them watch that why i think they thought it was too violent isn't it just driving around in a car or do they do they ever get out of the car yeah i mean it's it's japanese animation so it was it's a little bit different um but um i don't remember watching that Saturday morning. I remember watching that like in the afternoon or something. After school. I feel like I watched a little bit of that, but I was never into that. All right.

Let me hit you with my kids ones. I'm going to go real quick. WWF superstars. That was a cartoon Saturday morning. They had Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, all that. That was a good one. The Batman cartoon. That was when I Saturday morning. They had Andre the Giant, Hulk Hogan, all that. That was a good one. The Batman cartoon. That was when I was a little more of a teenager. I forget. It had

an actual name, Gotham City or something like that. Really great cartoon, though. More serious. Chip and Dale, Rescue Rangers. Chip and Dale, Rescue Rangers. Chip and Dale, Danger.

That was a good one. What would they do? They just, you know, they were. Solve crimes? This is like Magnum P.I. Yeah, they had that outfit on. They would solve crimes or whatever. And then I had Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck.

Here's one. Heathcliff the Cat. It's spelled like Heathcliff, but we always called it Heathcliff. So I don't know if. Yeah, that was a fun one i was always into that this looks like a walmart brand garfield yeah a little bit like he was living in the trash can or whatever oh he's like a stray cat yeah i like that yeah i like this you got a little more edge to him than garfield exactly i like that show a lot this one i kind of watched it, you know, and it's still on today, but I was more into it as a kid. And that's The Simpsons. I'm not been

into The Simpsons so much as an adult, but when I was a kid, I loved The Simpsons. Then there was Bobby's World. Bobby's World was Howie Mandel's show when I was a kid. Great Saturday morning cartoon. Doug. Wow. Doug was really good. That's the first overlap on my list. Doug, I was becoming a little bit more of a teenager watching Doug. What's Doug?

I don't know what that is. So, Doug, there are two iterations of it. It was originally a Nickelodeon cartoon. That's where I remember it as a Nickelodeon cartoon. And then from the early 90s. And then two years later, Disney, I guess, bought the rights and re-released it as a Disney cartoon. The animation's a little different. I like the Nickelodeon version better.

Yeah, it's really good. But it's just this dorky kid just trying to live life, man. And everybody's a different color. People are blue. His best friend Skeeter down there, he just honks. He barely even talks all right and that's the love of his life right there patty mayonnaise wow that's nice his names are insane doug funny is his name doug funny all right and that's the bully over on the right roger klotz

and he lives in a trailer park so he's a bully but really he's just dealing with his own stuff yeah his dad's probably an alcoholic drug addict i. I think he is at one point, yeah. Wow. All right, then we go Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Okay, that's Nate's favorite. Is this too edgy? No. Too edgy? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

No, no, you looked at her when I said about his trailer. Well, no, I'm just surprised it's a kid's cartoon that they're dealing with drugs. We used to get into stuff in these cartoons, man. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the first cartoon, really great. I had all the toys. I had a toy-like whole sewer system, Master Splinter, really great. And I added last-minute Inspector Gadget.

That was one of my favorites. I mean, he talked to his watch. He had his little helper, Penny. It was really, really good. And then my top two, Masters of the Universe, He-Man and Masters of the Universe. Such a hot cartoon when I was a kid. Masters of the Universe? Yeah.

You had a joke about it. Yeah. Okay, so what is his main guy? That's He-Man? That's Adam. Okay. And Adam has a sword, and he will hold it up to the sky, and he says, By the power of gray skull and then he

becomes he-man master of the universe whatever well my you know my my mom was not watching things like that like i was you know so i was into it and uh it's really great and then they made a movie the movie doesn't get a lot of credit but it's dolph lundgren is in it as uh he-man is it a live action movie live action okay i think it's really good it's got uh courtundgren is in it as He-Man. Is it a live action movie? Live action. I think it's really good. It's got Courtney Cox, one of her first movies. Wow.

She's in He-Man, Masters of the Universe. And then my number one favorite cartoon of all time as a kid, G.I. Joe. Wow. That was the best. G.I. Joe cartoon. I had a million G.I. Joe. This is it right here? Yeah? That's what it looked like? I had a million G.I. Joes as a kid, and I loved G.I. Joe.

Have you all gone back and watched any of this stuff as an adult and see how it's aged? Yeah, it's all terrible. Yeah. In what way? Well, I mean, G.I. Joe is just like, I don't know. It's just not fun to watch. Masters of the Universe is pretty ridiculous. Inspector Gadget I've not watched. I haven't either.

I'm sure some of it's good. But, I mean, this didn't make my list, but other classic cartoons like the Flintstones, Scooby-Doo. Oh, Flintstones. Yeah, Scooby-Doo. I used to watch those a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Those are great.

I remember when... Cartoons used to be really good. They just are not a lot of good cartoons now. Well, I wouldn't... No. I mean, the ones for our daughters are, I would say, really good, right? Nah. You know, like...

Peppa Pig is not holding up like... But that's for two-year-olds. Okay. Well, I guess so. But I'm just saying, I don't know what the cartoons are at now, but they don't have a Scooby-Doo. Yeah. It's a different vibe. But even Scooby, I remember when they added Scrappy-Doo.

What a Scrappy-Doo. That's where they jumped the shark. It's like a puppy that they were. That's when the show about a talking dog jumped the shark. Well, Scooby didn't really talk. He talked. Yeah. I mean, Shaggy talked to him.

Maybe Shaggy was just high. Yeah, but Scrappy's like a full-on, like, it's like, all right, dude, don't come up in here and take control of the show. I've never even heard of Scrappy-Doo. Yeah, it was in the later years and that's yeah the harlem globetrotters showed up that was a fun episode oh yeah the harlem globetrotters came to an open mic in nashville once oh yeah you ever heard about that their trainer is an open mic comic a young young woman and they were in town doing something and she came and did the mic and

the Harlem Globetrotters showed up wow and you know you're not profiling people when you see like nine enormously tall black dudes walk in you're like what is happening yeah yeah truly they're not the Harlem you don't want to assume they're the Harlem Globetrotters you guys play basketball you ever thought about playing that's what they are don't get into comedy right you guys are pretty tall and they came and they sat uh in the back and they were awesome dude they watched the whole open mic they laughed at everybody it was like a great mic oh yeah it was one of the few nights i wasn't at that mic they're like the next day i go how was the mic last night yeah the harlem globetrotters were there what you were like i was at home watching well this is interesting because i'm hearing you all say cartoons i don't know if this is a function of when i grew up or if it's a reflection of me but all my cartoons that

i watched were of real life stuff these are kids cartoons these are for kids when you were kids yeah no no superhero stuff nothing supernatural just all normal it could be a tv show okay if they wanted to be so these are my favorites doug we've already talked about hey arnold was a big one this is takes place in what i assume is new york city there are theories that it takes place other somewhere else but it's in an urban area i'll tell you what though if arnold's real he getting made fun of well he's made fun of relentlessly in this show okay okay he's called football head okay that's him right there in the front that's his best friend gerald they would definitely call him football head at my school this is harold right here the fat kid he's

a bully but he's jewish so there's an episode where you go to his bar mitzvah and really you know he's struggling with his own weight and everything else. He's got his own issues. Bad relationship with his parents. That's Sid. He's the poor kid. Stinky Peterson on the top left. I mean, just a great mix of people.

Helga. I've seen a little Hey Arnold. She's the bully, Helga, but she's actually in love with Arnold the whole series. Okay. So there's a little tension there. Okay. This show, Ice of Love, just the freedom of these kids running around the city no parents anywhere right they would go take the train at like two in the morning you're like

who's letting these kids do this right but arnold grew up in a boarding house with all kinds of random people in there it's crazy it was crazy and if you watch it there's like some deep there's like some of the episodes are sad and they explore like real stuff this is a great show where did it air nickelodeon this is like the mid to late 90s yeah so you guys had professional cartoon channels yeah essentially yeah that's all they aired and we didn't have cable but but I remember the cable guy, when he was setting up our TV, he was like, we'll give you Nickelodeon. Wow. Just Nickelodeon? Nickelodeon and ESPN.

Wow. Because I think he knew my dad. I think he went to the same church as us or something. So he's like, I'll give you all Nickelodeon and ESPN. So we had basic cable and then Nickelodeon and ESPN. Wow. That's all we had. So I didn't grow up with – We had Cartoon Network was around,

but we didn't have it in our house. Yeah. So I didn't watch any of those. Just Nickelodeon and... Okay. And then the other one, Rocket Power. Have you ever heard of this? No.

Rocket Power is a Nickelodeon cartoon. Well, who is this kid, though? I know this kid. Skate Kids. That's Otto Rocket right there. He's like... To the right here. That's a kid from another cartoon. That's Squid, right there he's like to the right here that's a kid from another

cartoon that's squid dude he's called squid you know i'm talking about i feel like i watched this cartoon and i feel like this guy had a different maybe it's just about kids again running around parents are not really around seems like rugrats well yeah this is after rugrats so maybe this is when the rugrats are grown up the animation looks similar there was a show called rugrats well yeah this is after so maybe this is when the rats are grown up the animation looks similar there was a show called rugrats all grown up when they were 12 okay uh which is so funny to call them all grown up and they're in middle school seems like a rugrat though well just the animation similar yeah that's twister and that's rocket girl and that's squid he's the new kid okay uh another great show let's pull it

up right here fillmore now y'all are not going to have heard of this the show was so shortly short-lived it used to air saturday mornings on abc i used to love cop shows i told you we watched law and order as a kid as a family this was law and order but at a school. That's Fillmore, the main character. He was like a thug kid. He got in trouble for stealing chalk. And then they're like, you can go to detention or you can become a cop, essentially. So it's a parody of cop shows, but it's hall monitors at a school. So they just solve crimes.

Let me guess. This girl is the girl who does, she's the scientist. You ever see the, what's the one with Mark? CSI? Yeah, like, you know, he has the weird girl that is always like. Oh, that's NCIS. Yeah, yeah.

Similar. Yeah, they all work on this hall monitor police force. And there's like a captain, That's him in the back. And he's always drinking coffee. And the funniest part about the show to me was when they find the perp, they chase them. They have these chase scenes. And you're like, they got to come to school the next day. Just let them come to school the next day.

There's no point of chasing these kids. But that show is fun. It only lasted two seasons. The biggest one for me was this show, Recess. Disney's Recess. Aired Saturday mornings on ABC. Are you the blonde kid there? I'm a little bit of...

That's me on the top. That's so mean. If you're listening, he just pointed at the fattest kid in the group. I'm the kid with the backwards hat. I'm the cool kid. I'm a little bit of everybody in this group. TJ is the leader of this group. He's the cool kid.

And then there's Spinelli. She's the feisty. She's into like, I don't know. She's just kind of mean, but she's fun. He's the athlete. Vince is the athlete. Gus is the dorky new kid. He's the poet.

The fat guy, Mike, he's the poet of the group. And then that's the smart girl. And they exist on this playground where there is's an entire society there's a king there's a class system it's it was so much fun dude i watched the show all the time as a kid recess highly recommend it yeah that's fun yeah i'm glad that you had a couple i had not heard of. It is funny though, how the segue minor all totally ridiculous. Yours was a blend of kind of transforming into more. And then yours was minor. All,

you know, I, there was like SpongeBob was around and that's obviously it's like sea creatures. Yeah. Right. But all the ones that I really gravitated towards were just real, real kids.

Like that could have been a tv show you know there's nothing crazy in it but a lot of fun what about adults all right i looked up by the way i'm still on this wonder twins so they were part of the all new super friends hours and they would uh touch their fist and say the phrase wonder twin powers activate and that's where the rings would touch. Yep. Okay. All right. I'll type. I don't. These are a few like specials.

Like number one, Charlie Brown's Christmas. That's a good one. Now, a lot of people. I know I said I was over fun. A lot of people on the podcast say I'm Charlie Brown. I don't feel that way. But okay. I like Charlie Brown.

I like Charlie Brown. And I like that. I used to watch that a lot growing up. Charlie Brown's Christmas. It's very good. I mean, it's amazing that it came out in the 60s and it's about commercialization of Christmas. And it was the 60s.

Is it really about that? Yeah. Charlie Brown's upset because everyone's just into, you know, his dog enters a contest for best decoration and wins. Yeah, I mean, our society has been in decline for a long time. That's amazing. That's from the 60s when you think it was whatever. Do you think Charles Schultz, do you think he made this cartoon for free?

Or did he get paid to do it? Oh, you're trying to make a point about... Well, what is... So what's Charlie Brown's deal? Why is he always... Everything's badlie brown's deal why is he always everything's bad and is happening to him yeah is it just bad luck or does he bring it on a little bit that's a fair question i guess i don't know well he's got to bring it on a little bit you got to know lucy's gonna pull the football you gotta be smarter than that okay so he's a little bit of a dunce

but just bad luck i don't know if he's a dunce or if he's just trusting, right? Maybe that's it. Like, he just trusts that Lucy this time is going to hold the football. Oh, so he's good to a fault in this world that just beats on him. I think so. I don't know enough about him to speak on it. I mean, the Peanuts comic strip went on for decades. Right.

There's not that many, I don't think, actual live animation. There's specials, you know. But it started and it's primarily just like cartoons in a newspaper. I think so, yeah.

Okay. I think the Peanuts went on for a long, long time. But that's really good. I mean, there's a scene where Linus gets up

and talks about the meaning of Christmas and, you know, and reads a, or recites a scripture from the Bible. Oh, interesting. It's amazing that that's still on primetime TV every year.

Also has the best soundtrack, the best Christmas music ever. This Charlie Brown Christmas. It's like great jazz music. Yeah. It's really, really awesome. Garfield's Halloween special. It was actually scary. As a kid, it was like...

Garfield was great. I really liked like garfield too uh garfield's halloween this was scary i mean yeah for a cartoon like maybe that not that shot you gotta realize he's not been like your cartoons were all reality right yeah so he's not been jaded your your parents were making you watch Law and Order SVU. I was just an innocent kid. Just a white sheet with two idols. He goes, ooh. There were some scary scenes, alright?

You were desensitized too early. I was. I was. I was calloused. Also Christmas here. How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Frosty the Snowman. Those are all great. Those are timeless too. These are just all time time these are not necessarily ones you just enjoyed as an adult yeah they're kind of all time i um i thought that's what you said we were supposed to do i lost track i thought we would do some as a kid and then some as an adult this is why you let him run

the podcast that's true stop trying to do stuff. Yeah. I'll do a couple as an adult. Aqua Teen, Hunker Force. Oh, that's on my list. I love that show. You don't watch that show? That's on my list. I love that show. I thought nobody would have that on the list.

Boom. This show stinks. Really? Gosh, I love that show. I've never seen it. It's so funny. I'm just looking at it. It looks like the worst show ever.

It does look like the worst, but it's really funny. What is it? A drink and a thing of fries and a meatball talking to each other? Meatwad. You know, I never. Yeah, it's Meatwad. Oh, sorry. Get it right.

Meatwad. Shake. Yeah, and then they got a neighbor, Carl. Yeah, there's Carl. I've never gotten into Adult Swim. All those are so weird. But somebody told me about there was a period they're like, oh, you should watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force. And it was funny.

It is really funny. Squid Billies. Watch that for a while. That's a great one. I'm going to add that to number 10. I forgot about it. That way I can have 10. I forgot about it. Okay. I recognize this little octopus thing. Yeah. Or squid. Squid.

Yeah. I actually have that hat. That's hilarious. Somebody gave me that hat in a show. You have a hat that says booty hunter on it? Yeah, I have that exact hat. Wow. Somebody gave that to me at a show. Wear that on the podcast sometime.

Yeah. I think that's shot in Atlanta, and I think a lot of Atlanta comics have done some voicing on it. Oh, that's fun. Not shot, I guess, but animated. Quiet on set. It used to be. Mr. Squid,icing on it. Oh, that's fun. Not shot, I guess, but animated. Yeah. Quiet on set. Yeah. It used to be. Mr. Squid, come on out.

I think Billy Joe Shaver has done some stuff on it, I think, and country singer that I like. Mm-hmm. All right. You want me to hit my 10?

Sure. I'm going to go Squid. I'm going to do 10, but that's enough. I'm going to go Squid Billy's first, but obviously, I just wrote that down. I'm going South Park number nine.

South Park gets a little too too much for me but i would be lying if i have not did not say i had not enjoyed a ton of south park episodes because when it came out you were the perfect age yeah i mean i yeah i mean i was in high school when it came out i mean i've laughed at south park a lot there's a show that i just recently started but it's one of my all-time favorites already because it's so good and i'm into anything mike judge does and this is tales from the tour bus which is he just animates basically interviews um the first season is all country music and the very first episode is johnny paycheck and it's so great it's so good looks. The next, Beavis and Butthead. Really great.

I wasn't able to watch it as a kid, but I've gone back and watched a lot as an adult. Very funny. Bob's Burgers. Great cartoon. Futurama. Like that one a lot. That's the Simpsons creator. Love that one.

Number four is more of a movie, but it's called Planet Hulk. Thor is more of a movie, but it's called Planet Hulk, and it is basically Ragnarok, but in this, Hulk wins. It's not – That's a regular show? It's a – I mean, a regular cartoon? Yeah. Yeah, I mean – Never heard of this.

Yeah. Thor does not win in this. Thor does not win in this. The whole problem with the Marvel Universe is that they used Hulk as kind of like this punching bag to show how strong the other Avengers were. And I didn't read a ton of comic books, but from what I understand, Hulk, people don't beat up on Hulk like that. I'm so surprised. I'm always surprised you're so into superhero stuff because it feels so against everything else you well it's like it's from your childhood you know you get into all these things as a child and then like harry potter when you yeah exactly yeah you know exactly so except you know well i

mean it is exactly like yeah but why is it okay not okay for him to like harry potter now but it is okay for him to like it's witchcraft but it is okay for him to like Harry Potter now, but... It is okay for him to like it. It's witchcraft, but it is okay for him to like it. And then number three, I put Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Laughed at that a lot as an adult. Number two, Family Guy. Family Guy, so great. And number one, adult cartoon of all time, King of the Hill. King of the Hill is unbelievable.

A lot of people call you uh dale gribble yeah yeah and other than being you know super weak uh i agree with him dale gribble's a super super weak man but other than that i uh i agree with him he is a weak guy right yeah i mean his wife is having a kid with a yeah what's his name the what is his name johnny johnny uh john redwood i think red is it redwood i don't know red man isn't it it's something on the nose yeah yeah i don't know i don't remember great card but i love that cartoon though what is the guy but what is it about what is it about a cartoon any of these if they were a live action, I feel like the charm of it would be gone. Yeah.

To some degree, yeah. And I think Mike Judge animation is really good because it's not perfect animation, but it's just in the way that it's like animation can be too good now to where I think that a little bit of it letting you know. Because there's another one like it's called like six ounce mouse or something like that it's like some of the worst animation ever but it it was pretty good big loud mouth that one now it's like something mouse it's like a certain ounce mouse yeah and it's like it's it's pretty good i mean it's just the dialogue that goes back and forth and uh yeah i mean king of the hill is is number one cartoon

of all time now you know hopefully i mean i've been pitching a cartoon i sold a cartoon to hulu one time that never got made and then i saw uh um i sold one to um another company and it never got made but i'm working on some stuff i want to tell us anything about let me see if i can find it i don't well i don't even know anything about it yet but um that's probably why your pitch didn't get picked up yeah that's true uh now the i don't know anything about this cartoon idea no the old one if i could find uh a picture of, I would share it. Yeah, airdrop it to me. So, I did not watch, still don't, most of these adult cartoons.

The Simpsons started when I was in high school. That's how long it's been around. And I really have rarely watched it. But I know there's so many cultural references that come from The Simpsons. Yesterday, we're headed to the airport in Albuquerque. We drive by.

Our Uber driver has given us a tour of the city, basically. We didn't ask him to, but he just volunteered to tell us about a tour of the city. I'm sorry, what? I'm sorry. He just pulled it up. Yeah, but he's in the little story. I'll wrap this up. Jeez, guys.

Until you're bored. It is. All right. Sorry. We drive by. I've been searching for it the whole time you've been telling the story, so I was not. You know that we weren't just sitting quietly waiting for you to pull it up. I know, but I missed all the story.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yesterday, I'm in Albuquerque. We're headed to the airport. Our Uber driver voluntarily starts giving us a tour of the city, which I'm interested in because Breaking Bad, there's a lot of stuff there. We drive by their minor league baseball stadium.

Isotopes. Isotopes. Right. That came from the Simpsons. Did you know that? No, I didn't know that at all. Apparently, there's an episode I haven't heard somewhere because I don't remember it,

where they're moving the team from Springfield and the Simpsons. And they're the Springfield isotopes from the Simpsons. Season two called Dance and Homer, in which the main character, Homer Simpson, temporarily becomes his local team's mascot. In the episode, Homer attempts to thwart the team's plan to move to Albuquerque by going on a hunger strike. Wow. And they did a fan vote, and they called themselves the Simpsons. I just assumed it was something to do with nuclear energy or something.

I think that helps. Yeah, I think it's a good fit for it. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. Now, I'm sorry, Dicey. We'll get to that. Maybe one more question, though.

The Simpsons, is, in your mind, Homer the main character? Well, when I was a kid, Bart Simpson was the main. Me too. Because it was like, I mean, that's what I would say. I want to watch Bart Simpson. I wouldn't say The Simpsons. I mean, Bart Simpson was the main character. Somewhere it shifted, though.

I had a toy Bart Simpson. Do you think it shifted from your perspective or in the show, the way the show told the story? Well, who's your perspective? I never really watched The Simpsons. I was not allowed to watch it as a kid, and I never really picked it up as an adult. I just think that as we grew with the show, I think they shifted it to Homer Beat, because now we're adults.

Maybe so, but who would you envision? Because I didn't watch The Simpsons either. When I think of the show, I think of Homer Simpson. I think with the donut, that's what I think of think of yeah i feel like they shifted it yeah all right let's look at this well the the it was a working title we didn't we weren't like this is the name this was just kind of a working title but yeah this was our animation obviously i'm the little kid there with a hat that says dusty on it if you're listening it's uh outside a trailer yeah and then there's like this.

My mom has got her arm on me, and then the two other girls are my sisters, and then that's my brother-in-law in the lawn chair and then their daughter, right? So that was... That's amazing. Yeah. That is amazing.

There's a possum on the roof, I believe? Yeah, because, you know, I got a joke. A possum's got a toothbrush. You know, I got a joke about a possum. Was that going to be a character in the show? The possum was like your pet? Not my pet, but it was going to be kind of a thing that would pop up a lot. Just always around.

Yeah. That's so cool, man. Looks like some California redwoods back there. Well, that is what I told him. I said, well, this is great, but I was like, your trees are off. You got the wrong trees. Yeah, put some pine trees out there. Yeah.

Yeah. I was like, your trees are off, but everything else looks good even the concrete steps that cement block steps now what is it what is this girl doing she has she has more of a uh nine to five job yeah yeah because it was like you know uh you know we had a you know the kind of two sisters you know one one being more redneck than the other kind of thing okay oh that's fun and then that's my sister like trying to get out of the wow and that's your other sister and her baby yeah yeah that's so cool man and where does this stand is this could this happen well i don't know something like this could happen but this was the this was the one i sold to hulu and in uh 2020 and now what happened in 2020 well i

think what happened was king of the hill was announced that they were coming back apparently king of the hill is coming back but it takes a long time yeah the animation takes forever yeah so that was announced that it was coming back and i think it killed my show greg garcia like i said was on the road with us this weekend he worked on a couple seasons of family guy as a writer. He said, it's so fun just to say, we're in Saudi Arabia and you can just write a scene. You can just do whatever.

You're doing a live action show. The guy writing this with me was a writer from Family Guy. I thought we wrote a really great script. It was really funny. We just had tons of free time during 2020. I'm just zooming in this guy, and we're writing it. And you're right.

You just do whatever you want with animation. You write whatever you want. That's crazy because there's stuff you probably don't even think of if you're doing a live action show. Right. Because obviously we can't go to the Sahara Desert. Yeah. Or the Eiffel Tower or whatever.

That's so cool. Right. Yeah. So we should go through that list real fast and see if there's anything we missed? Yeah, let's just go through. We got a few minutes left here. This is the top 50 cartoon characters. Oh, alright. Is that the list you sent me?

Yeah, that's fine. Okay. Top 50 cartoon characters. Let's just go down to the top 10. Sure. Yeah, I already skipped past. Steven Universe? Never even heard of this. Not familiar. Created 2013. 2013.

A little past my prime. Zuko from Avatar, The Last Airbender. Never watched that. I didn't either. Here we go. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Yes. They lumped all four of them in.

Yeah, see, that was my show right there. I mean, that show, I had all those toys. I mean, that show was great. That's by far Nate's favorite. Scooby-Doo and Shaggy. Yeah. Never knew his last name. Me either. Shaggy Rogers? That doesn't even seem to sound real. Great character. What's by Casey Kasem?

Also, have you ever had the Scooby snacks? The actual snacks? Pretty good. They're like gummies. Yeah. Yeah, that tastes good. Mickey Mouse? No doubt. I'm not a big fan, but no doubt that's one of the greatest characters. I think he's the most popular probably worldwide. Yeah.

Wouldn't you say? Oh, sure. Yeah. The ears are just the ears alone are iconic. SpongeBob. SpongeBob SquarePants is up there. Yeah. Tom and Jerry.

Wow, that's surprising there in the top four. Charlie Brown and Snoopy. Yeah. Three. And then number two, Homer Simpson. Not surprising. Longest running TV show of all time, right? I thinkopy. Three. And then number two, Homer Simpson. Not surprising. Longest running TV show of all time, right? I think so.

And then number one, Bugs Bunny. I mean, that's a solid list. Go back here just up a little bit. No, no. Back down to Homer. Right here. It says... The first two seasons of The Simpsons were focused on Bart,

but as it became Homer-centric, the show became something truly special. So it did shift. That's fun. I think the first popular cartoon I read was Mickey Mouse. It was called Steamboat Willie. And there's a scene in Saving Private Ryan where they capture a Nazi soldier, and they're about to execute him, and he's trying to show them, guys, I'm Americanized now.

I love America. And I think one of the references he tries to say is Stingboat Willie. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and he starts singing the national anthem. He goes, oh, say can you see? Yeah. Oh, say can you see?

Oh, yeah. Oh, say can you see? It's actually a really heartbreaking scene yeah Betty Boop I think he references Betty Boop

another cartoon and that guy comes back and kills a bunch of Americans at the end after they let him out yeah war is hell boys there's

Flintstones was the first primetime cartoon and there's a commercial I think I sent to you a cigarette ad where they use the fred flintstone

and barney to promote cigarettes oh yeah how about that the good old days huh that's what i'm saying it's very funny they're out hanging out their wives are working they're like this is tough man let's go in the back and get away from this as barney's saying let's get out of here and they go in the back and wait they're just trying to get away from their wives working yeah it's a very funny even today it'd be very funny they're like this is tough to watch let's get out of here. And they go in the back and... Wait, they're just trying to get away from their wives working? Yeah, it's a very funny... Even today, it would be very funny. They're like, this is tough to watch. Let's go hang out. And then he's like, you know, I could really relax with some cigarettes.

Some Winstons. Some Winstons, dude. Winston 100s. Well, you know, they work really hard, those guys. Fred and Barney work at a rock factory. That's true. They're not just like lazy bums. Yeah, I mean, they work really hard those guys Fred and Barney work at a rock factory that's true oh okay they're not just like

lazy bums yeah I mean they work really hard yeah you're right that's how it starts with them sliding down the back of the dinosaur

here's a couple of phrases this is so funny I know I'm trying to imagine like a Spongebob commercial where they're doing this you work in a rock factory you deserve a cigarette

that's what I'm saying yeah it's a Saturday right yeah um Cowabunga Imagine like a SpongeBob commercial where they're doing this. You work in a rock factory. You deserve a cigarette. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. It's a Saturday, right? Yeah. Cowabunga. You know what that's from? My old boss used to smoke Winston's. Cowabunga is a.

It's a phrase. Ninja Turtles. Yeah. Ninja Turtles. When you said. I remember the episode where you said, I think, therefore, I am is the most popular phrase. Cogito ergo sum. Whatever.

And Nate said, Cowabunga. am is the most popular phrase. Kogito ergo sum. And Nate said cowabunga. Oh, that makes sense. He's a big Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. Wow. What's up, Doc? Big one. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Heroes in a half shell.

Turtle power. They're the world's most fearsome fighting teenage mutant turtle power something like that is that what's the most popular theme song for a cartoon uh probably the spongebob one dude for my generation are you chippendales are you ready kids aye aye captain who lives in a pineapple under the sea it's for sure but chippendales was a big one Apple under the sea. It's for sure. But Chippendales was a big one. Mine's the Jetsons.

Or Scooby-Doo. Scooby-Doo theme. What is the Scooby-Doo theme? Scooby, Scooby-Doo. Oh, man. Yeah, that's a big one. That's a big one for sure. G.I. Joe, American Heroes. Well, you know what probably transcended all that was the Batman.

Yeah, yeah. I've never even seen that cartoon. That was a real show that was doing that. But I've never seen that cartoon, but I know the thing. But that cartoon. That wasn't a cartoon? That wasn't the theme of the cartoon. That was the theme of the real show.

Oh, I'm sorry. The cartoon was pretty dark. But I think the opening where they do that, it's animated, isn't it? Kung pow. Maybe. I don't it? Go, pow, bam. Maybe. I don't know. I don't think so. All right.

All right. Should we wrap it up? Let's wrap it up. Okay. Put a bow on this bad boy. Oh, you got more? Oh, no. No, he's re-cleaning up his dates.

Oh, okay. All right. All right. This weekend, I'm off. Could be working. Could be working. But I will say, next weekend, I have two shows in Lafayette, Louisiana. That's May 17th.

May 18th on my birthday I have two shows in Dallas at the Texas Theater. The first show, I believe, is sold out. But the second one is, you know, we have tickets. You know that's the theater Lee Harvey Oswald was found in. I do know that. Yeah. You're going to get into that. Yeah.

But they're going to be great. I love it.

And then one more thing, Royal Oak, Michigan. I've added a second show on June 1st. The music hall there? It's going to be... Royal Oak music hall? I don't have those details.
