Today's episode of the Nate Land podcast is brought to you by Electric E-Bikes, AG1, DraftKings, and BetterHelp. Hello folks. Hey there, welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. I'm Nate Bargatze, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber. And fitting in. Filling in. But fitting in too. Oh yeah, fitting in. We'll see if he fits in.

Yeah, we'll see if he fits in. Yeah. Filling in a, what some would say, handsome Dusty Slick. Nick Thune. Yeah. You're wearing denim. I almost wore a hat, and then I thought that people would be like, is that a different Dusty or what?

So I just decided not to go hat. Be you. Fast pro shop hat. Be you. Nick Thune filling in for Dusty for us this weekend. We were out. Had a good one. Be you. Pro shot, man. Be you. Nick Foon filling in for Dusty Forrest this weekend. We were out. Had a wonderful weekend. You had – you're wearing your – he's wearing a denim jacket, and he had it.

This weekend, it was out hanging outside in the rain. Yeah. Did we ever figure out why that happened? No. Yeah, it was just soaking wet hanging on the side of the – Yeah. No. Yeah, I was just soaking wet, hanging on the side of the... Yeah, I didn't know. I go out to the bus, and we were going to go play something, basketball, whatever we were doing. I go out, but I don't know if you're doing that for a reason. I actually thought this could work out for me better because I put it on while it was wet and kind of wore it around and i think it fits better now yeah yeah well that's if anybody is gonna hang their jacket in the rain

on purpose it's you if anybody does their laundry differently yeah yeah do you air dry your clothes normally or always yeah see see yeah well i didn't so i didn't even know i almost didn't tell him because i thought he'd be like yeah yeah yeah, yeah. I put my jackets in the rain. Well, the thing is, is you buy clothes. I buy them to fit, not to like adjust with the dryer. So I buy them to fit and then I just never dry them. So that way they always fit rather than like buying something a little bigger thinking. I hope it kind of goes down to what feels good.

Right? Yeah. Yeah. That's smart. Can't you get stuff that's not affected by the dryer though stuff who knows it's hard to tell you know i also don't know if i'm doing it right or wrong people are always like oh wash it in cold and then tumble dry it and i'm just like i've had so many shirts just get slightly smaller right yeah you remember

yeah i've got them all hanging up. Yeah. Then you go, look at you. It's like a little graveyard. Yeah. Look at you. Oh, hey, guys. We're going to get into all that little fashion stuff. But, yeah, we were out this weekend.

We had a wonderful weekend. We were in Huntsville last night. Well, we were in New Orleans. New Orleans, Memphis, Biloxi, and then Huntsville uh last night well we were in where we get new orleans new orleans memphis memphis biloxi and then huntsville yeah all great all really great i actually brought my winnings to um at the casino went to the casino i don't know how to get this on camera on uh you get it on erin land there we go 34 cents. Hard rock, Biloxi. And that's not really winning 34 cents. That's losing $299. Yeah.

And you do the math on that. We're going to say 66 cents. Yeah. You should have vouched it out. Yeah. The line was too long. Yeah. Oh, you it out. Yeah. The line was too long. Yeah. Oh, you got to, yeah.

That would have been great if I walked up there. Yeah. I'd like it a quarter and you tell them how to get it. You just want to go, I'm not leaving. You didn't take everything from me. And you know how you tip people. People tip them out. If they get like a lot of winnings, they like leave them alone.

Be like, keep that penny. Yeah. You go, hey, sweetheart, keep the quarter. Sweetheart, keep the quarter. What's 20% of 34? Sweetheart, keep the quarter. She's like, what? I don't want it.

She goes, well, it's two dimes and nickels. I didn't have quarters. Golly. Yeah. That's good. I mean, you walk out. I think it is. Well, even when you walk out out 34 cents you get to go

you didn't take everything that's right you didn't take everything i got something i got something one ball shirt at a vintage store yeah 34 cents that's it is even out of the it's not even anymore it's like 80 now we have uh yeah it was we had a really fun weekend. All the shows were just spectacular in New Orleans. Look at him standing in the kitchen right there. In the kitchen. We got some videos. You can stand in the kitchen if the ball comes in there.

Yeah, then you got to get right back out. You lived in the kitchen. We should explain what we're watching right here. Yeah. We're watching. We had a pickleball tournament uh in biloxi and so uh look at that yeah it couldn't handle my heat so it was we did that we found a big room i mean some of these convention centers you find a big room i'll tell you what i like a big room yeah

there's not much better than a bigger room i could see having an airport hangar and just being like i just want it just to be you just have the space just to stretch out a bit just to stretch out you know i would like if you had offices and because we're we're in what you know i'm sure if you've been to convention centers you see those rooms and they put multiple planes in these rooms yeah yeah and just if you're like i want this to be the office space and it's all open and everybody goes their corner i mean you could be on the phone no one could hear you in a corner in a corner and you have to ride a scooter over to the other one you see him walking over imagine when you you know he's coming over he's like here we go you gotta watch him it's a good three minute walk yeah but you see him you see him. You're like, what does this guy want?

Here he comes. Here he comes. I know he's coming right to me. Well, you'd probably be like, he's in the middle. You're like, where is he? Nah, he's coming to me. He's coming to me. And then you wait until he gets pretty close.

Then you just walk to the – you walk like against a wall, like the most opposite. And you go to another table, and he's like, man. Right as he gets up. Yeah. Hello? Backward. Hello?

Oh, shit. Sorry. Yeah, I could see. I mean, that's what I thought in that hanger. I was like, I would like one of these. It was nice. People riding scooters around, you know, fetching balls. You can just be doing so much stuff in a hangar and not be bothering anybody, really.

You could be golfing on one side. You could be throwing baseballs on the other. It could be a nap area. I'd like... I'd give a nap area easy. Yeah. And no one would hear. No one would hear you napping at all.

Yeah. Maybe in the middle. One injury, Eric. Yeah, we had an injury. Eric twisted an ankle. Another ankle problem. Travis. I know.

Down like flies. I know. And I mean, dude, his ankle is big. Eric's is big. Yeah, he works it out. Yeah. And yeah, he worked it out. I mean, I saw it last night, and it's just, you know.

Talk about gains. A tube. Most in-shape guy on the tour. Yeah. Also, didn't complain much. You know, we all knew it happened. He does not walk around in a cast. He doesn't have a roller, you know.

No. He disappeared for all of yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't see him. Yeah. He had his Sunday best on by 8 a.m. yesterday.

He's like, I'm not doing anything. Yeah. He's out. So it was a good day for me. Didn't have to do anything. We got the video of Eric's injury right here. We want to watch it. Yeah.

There he goes. Oh, right there. Right there. He finishes his shot. Yeah. Oh, and I missed it. That's done. I don't know if he's down.

I'm like, well. How did that happen? Tripped over a phantom. What did that even do? What did he do? I don't know. That's dumb. He just goes down.

So bad to laugh at. Pretty hard. I know. It's. Here we go. go dude right there i feel so bad i feel like the airing his trainer yeah there's my trainer get his legs right there yeah kind of a cool dance move right there dude wow that's tough to watch man yeah just the ground got him yeah he's running we're so we were playing horse or knockout like i'm sure if you didn't even know

the basketball knockout game where you got to make it you got to shoot it then the other person tries to make it before you if you miss it and or you can just work on knocking their ball out yeah yeah and so this we were trying to do it. We were seeing if we could do it with hockey balls and hockey sticks. So that's the game we were playing. He's trying to retrieve his ball. And he's trying to get his ball. So I'm going to try to knock him out.

So he's running full force. And Nate still misses. Yeah, well, I hit the – well, we had – Julian was playing goalie, so he had to take a – I had a good shot. It hit the post. I did make it after this. I did make it right after because all the attention went to Eric, so the net was wide open.

Look at the way the ankle kind of hits the ground when he rolls over, too. It's a tough – Yeah, yeah, it's tough. Yeah, we all gather on Eric, and we hear Nate's like, score. Yeah, you got to keep moving. You know, man, we have a show. You got to keep going. One man down.

Look at that without laughing. Yeah. It's horrible. Yeah. His whole leg bows out. Brian, how relieved were you that that wasn't you? I was more shocked than anything. Yeah.

I don't know if Brian ever gets to speed up to roll an ankle. Yeah. He never fully knows the rules of what's happening. He's kind of always trying to figure out what's happening. Yeah, yeah. Never really just goes. Remember we played a whole round of dodgeball, and then he realized that the people on one side were on the same team.

Yeah. He didn't realize that. You're saying he never moves with enough confidence to sprain an ankle? No. But we played dodgeball, and we played a whole thing. And he goes, oh, wait, are we on the same team? And he's never played dodgeball. As a kid, we would be opposite sides, but it was every man for themselves.

Oh, really? You wouldn't hit each other on the same side, but it't a team well that sounds like that sounds like that's a team yeah but there would be no like like unless i was the last man standing i wouldn't have won like and there's no like bringing you can bring each other in and dodgeball right yeah but that was before that you didn't bring that up to that wasn't a matter but i'm saying when you're a kid yes you're like there were sides yes you didn't hit anybody on your side this is this is how team sport was invented don't hit anybody on your side hit only people on the other side that means it's teams but once i was out on my side yeah i wasn't rooting for my teammates okay so you're saying a batter strikes out And all of a sudden he's like well not my team anymore I think that might be

You were just a mean kid You should have been rooting for your teammates Instead you were I mean it makes a lot of sense Look at the urgency with which Brian walks over to help Eric Here on the ground Oh what do we have over here he just walks over like

oh he's kind of like oh we're done with this game or oh that's great the the dodgeball thing is very funny though to go yeah he played a whole round i didn't know we played one game that lasted 30 seconds no i don't play again don't try to – you then are telling us that you played dodgeball as a team but did not root for – that's like you play baseball and you go, no, I played on my side. We all had the same uniform, but when I was out, I didn't root for the other people. We shared a dugout, but other than that. Other than that, I didn't.

I don't know why I would. My dugout friends? Yeah. We had different roles when I would. My dugout friends? Yeah. I had different roles when I was a kid. Yeah. Yeah. Here's a mean. It's your worried mean face of just not being nice to your other people.

We had Harper and Laura came in Huntsville, so we got to play. Played a little four square. There's a lot of rules to that. Harper was, I mean, you can yell uh pac-man and cherry bomb and i mean it was it was pretty fun because harper is just explaining to you know a bunch of four-year-olds all these you know i forget the other story time you can you just it's a it's a it's a wild game but what i'm sure to her is such a basic game oh well when you get explained something by a kid they explain it like are you the stupidest

person on earth like they can't believe that you're not like what do you mean you don't know what's going on yeah and that's and that's how and so she explains and all of us are like wait what what is this and then she just starts. And all of us are like, wait, what? What is this? And then she just starts laughing at us. She's like, are you kidding me? Cherry bomb. You don't know cherry bomb? You're like, I don't know cherry bomb.

I don't even know four square. I've never heard of that either. You've heard of four square? I've heard of four square. It was like an ancient game. We never really played it growing up. Oh, you didn't play four square? They're playing it now.

I played it. Yeah, I played it a lot. I mostly played Wall Ball. We played Wall Ball. A little Tether Ball, but we didn't really have one on our playground. Tether Ball was never really a thing. You had half of one? No, we got one.

It was a neighbor? We got one later, I think. Oh, okay. But I didn't grow up with it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Tether Ball never really – it was always out there. No one was ever really obsessed.

You would do it some, and then you would be like, I think this game could be fun, and then you just kind of move on. Yeah. Yeah, kickball, wall ball. Did you ever have the thing, it was like a basketball hoop, but there were multiple areas where the ball could come out, and there were like math problems on the top of it. One was like plus two, one was minus one worst the worst the absolute worst i mean just unbelievable dude because that's

what they had to do before they ate dinner they go they solve a problem then he then he's fed chicken and then he has to go back and do division to get the mashed potatoes because he's just i mean just i mean what is this i don't know that game no one knows that was on our school playground that's what notre dame do you think that was a thing you could buy i think so i think it just came with the playground somebody no it didn't come from any playground set he went to is what they that's how he got to notre dame they, did you have that game where you had to solve math problems?

He goes, I did. They go, all right, welcome to Notre Dame. Crazy ball. I can't find it. But this did exist.

You can't find it. Of course you can't find it. There's no one. He pulls a picture up from his phone. Oh, here it is. Tim in it. Yeah.

Funnel ball. This is what it is. Tim in it. Yeah. Funnel ball. This is what it is. Have you ever seen anything like this? I did see funnel ball, but they did not put math on it. I don't know what problems you're solving. He comes from money, dude. And he goes, was y'all's buses Mercedes Sprinter vans? Wasn't that frustrating?

I go, I don't know. He goes. You know when your chauffeur dropped you off at school? Yeah don't know. I guess. You know, when your chauffeur dropped you off at school. Yeah. No, because it's embarrassing, right?

Cause your other friends are like walking and you're like, and you gotta, and they touch you with their dirty hands from outside. You're like, don't touch me. I do remember funnel ball. So I'll give you that. But I,

I, I had never seen that in my life. If there was – I've seen it, but, I mean, I can't – what math problems? It's just one, two, three, four. But it was like plus one or minus two, plus two, zero. No, they were – they didn't even try it at our school. They scratched it off the numbers on there. Peeled it off when they opened it.

They didn't even, yeah, they weren't even like, it doesn't matter. I mean, all I know is that we had basketball and we had all the regular sports, but handball was the thing. I don't know if you guys, you guys call it wall ball? With the bouncy ball? Oh, yeah.

And you got to touch the wall first. Oh, no, no. I'm talking like that big bouncy ball that you hit like that and it's got to bounce once and come up. You guys do? No, we never played that. My son has it. That's hot at a school now and I'm really good at it. So I'll show up after school and take on the kids.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. West Coast thing. He hasn't made it here yet. Yeah, you're Seattle or Washington. Yeah, yeah're Seattle, so, you know, or Washington. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's why pickleball was like a thing when I was a kid in Washington. And it was nowhere else.

And then it started to kind of go out. Now it's, we watched a women's champion. I followed the winner on Instagram last night. The women's singles pickleball champion. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, I liked what she did. Yeah. Yeah. yeah yeah because we had it on tv yeah yeah we don't know if that game was aired live that might have been from no that was yesterday because yesterday she announced

it on her instagram oh really yeah after she won a lot yeah oh wow type two diabetes i believe yes type one actually oh is that how you get into pickleball the urn type yeah yeah she wore a little thing on her arm yeah she had it yeah no on her instagram it says type one okay yeah she wore like an insulin thing on her arm or like a you know that little like that thing that you see on yeah yeah okay yeah okay is it pickleball like bowling is it preferred is at an advantage. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's the only two sports. Yeah. Where they go, well, come on, dude.

This ain't. He takes his shirt off and he's got that thing. Yeah. Come on, dude. All this is is a low blood sugar sport. Dead gummit. They can't feel anything in their right arm. That's why they sling the ball down there. There it goes.

I don't know. I mean, I know the woman that lost didn't have it. Yeah. Well, there you go. Yeah. So that's based off that one game alone, I would assume. It's better. Yeah.

But hopscotch, that's a weak game, huh? Yeah. Jumping up and down the two, three. Yeah. There's math involved in that too. There's numbers, right? But you think, is it a weak game? Because that's a game that you had trouble jumping.

And so you just trashed the game. You go, what a dumb game. You go, well, you can't even. You just scotched. It's worse than jump rope. He goes, this is stupid, dude. You go, well, it's because you missed the two, three. You didn't get to the double square. He goes, well, that's because you missed the two, three. You didn't get to the double square.

He goes, well, that's dumb because I don't even want to. I want to go play my math game. How do you land on one foot? That was probably a big. Yeah. Put too much weight on. It's not good for your ankles to put that much weight on one foot. They're like, what?

He goes what stupid kids in my house it's just two squares all the way down he goes set one off memory and his is just boom boom boom just walking walk through the hopscotch. I've been seeing a lot of videos.

Jump rope seems like people are... Jump rope is back. It's back. Yeah, stylish. Everything's back. I'll tell you what, pickleball being a real sport on TV, I don't know. I don't it's a I don't know

it's like it just it's gone so fast and then it's you know do you think it lasts a lot of these things pop up

and then they fade away right like slam ball I remember thinking slam ball was the future slam ball was fun and the trampoline yeah

that was pretty fun pickleball will last because it was so popular where I was from and it's still as popular you know but it's still as popular. But it's like, when is it going to be? Like, if they try to put in the Olympics or something.

They will, for sure. I know. But you're going to be like, all right. Like, give me some plastic ball with holes in it. It's a wiffle ball. Like, you can't talk about, you know, a real sport and have a wiffle ball. I'm not saying it's not. Like, at the Olympics, if they run out of stuff, they could just go to Target. Yeah.

You can't do that. Target run! That's a great point, Nick. Your sport can't be sponsored all by Target or Walmart. They're like, well, listen, we're saving money. These javelins, we don't even know where we get these.

Is this the one they use the Olympics in? This is the exact set of the Olympic trials. Yeah, they actually, here's a picture of them buying it right before. Yeah, they're here. If you hurry, you can catch them. They do self-checkout because they are good. They don't ever need help. What's the most amount of things you would take into a self-checkout?

At what point are you saying, no, I'm going online? Well, some of these places don't give you an option anymore. You go to a Target now, there aren't even any regular lanes open. It's all self-checkout. So you're forced to do a full cart's worth of stuff. I think it's switching back now. Are they? I think they're closing the self-checkouts.

That's good. I think theft and I think a lot of places are like, if you go steal it, you got to look a man in the eye. And that does hold people back. Yeah, it holds enough back. Well, you just do every other. You just go, when you do

self-checkout. You've got a beep noise on your phone. Yeah. And you're like, that guy's pretty good i i hope i mean i like self-checkout because i i'm never going in i'm never big big shopping shopped in years huh i don't think i've ever shopped in my life yeah yeah like 45 years yeah yeah but i mean do dudes shop like that i do i do yeah well okay i could see that table that's uh well i'm a single dad so i've got to like well that's different yeah that's different i gotta have my my stuff full when he get when he shows up yeah but i'm saying before

that i gotta have my stuff full for me i know yeah but before that our dudes i don't think guys are like you know it my old uh i had an old joke about buying or never buying milk publicly in my life is like when you're alone i don't you're not really buying milk as a guy no i never you kind of forget to buy milk i never did yeah i love a grocery store i i think i know well you're a hundred now, so I understand that, but it's, I'm saying for the bulk of it. Yeah. When you were, you, I don't think we were, I would, we go, we just buy kind of what we need at that moment.

And then you, you don't do it smartly. You just kind of go in, you could, you always could walk in with a basket is what I'm saying. Yeah. I would do it every day. I like that. It's a chance to be seen. You know, I like grocery store fashion. I think people in there...

We're going to get to the fashion. You don't need to. No, I'm just saying that's one reason I like it. That's a good segue. It's a bit early. Yeah, it's a bit early. I'm not trying to do... No, you're trying to do something.

Pulling off a queen a little early. Yeah. Well, the shows were great. Last night, Huntsville, very warm in there. Yeah. Yeah. I used a towel. I'm a towel commentator. well the shows were great last night Huntsville very warm in there yeah yeah I used a towel I'm a towel comic now

you should be a sweat towel I know how did it feel though did it change your energy I did say I go I'm a different comic now yeah a better comic

yeah and I was wondering and I think I got some laughs off that from I think the podcast fans that knew that you actively use a towel

he sells sweat towels after the show. He's like a terrible towel. He's like those ones from the baseball games. He's just the air. His fans, when he comes out, they go, and they swing it around. Then he likes it because

it's a fan. People do bring in sweat towels sometimes. Derek can change shirts. Did he really? Mid-set? Derek came in. Derek did you know it's his hometown it's very fun derrick's troop derrick's troop uh yeah he came off stage hot you know more ways than one yeah yeah he couldn't talk really i mean yeah he walked i mean went straight into a room went straight into it yeah it's like went in like put his head in a freezer and just said i mean he was he was just hot up there he works hard i mean he's on stage yeah yeah it's it doesn't really stop but he's got the energy yeah it makes sense he gets off stage sweating you're like well you earned

that anyway right and it was already hot yeah and so i mean yeah he was boy he came off that you know it's like that hot where someone gets hot. And like, I mean, there's no, like anybody could talk to him. They wouldn't even really hear you. Like their only focus is that I'm so hot right now. And he wore a gray shirt, which. Yeah. He'd been wearing white colored shirts the whole weekend.

And then the sweatiest night, he goes up in a gray shirt and you could see the sweats coming. Yeah. While he's up there. Yeah. There was marks. And a gray shirt and you could see the sweats coming. Yeah. While he's up there. Yeah. There was marks. And a gray shirt hides nothing, dude. No. A gray shirt is the worst shirt to wear for sweating.

You're out there. Yeah. Yeah, I always think a light shirt, too. I do it when I golf. It's going to be hot. If you wear a lighter shirt, it's not going to be. Because it's embarrassing with just the sweat marks. You're like, oh, God. the places the sweat goes yeah it's just like oh it's just there and it's just all on the

yeah horizontal line across the chest yeah and you're sweating and you're sweating everywhere but your dumb stomach's like it's like looks like it's trying to stick out for air people do that too where they get botox in places they sweat that really that's a way that it stops sweating oh get it all over your belly the thing is it doesn't stop the sweating it just moves it they have to do that shot what's that shot or something where they had all the needles oh i feel like you did as a kid they would like prick it's like an allergy an allergy test yeah they do that to your belly with Botox. They just, they got like a broom and a big.

We're coming in. Yay. And you go. We can do this separately or we can take about two years. Yeah. Or we can just, hey. And you go. You just lay on one of those like nail beds.

And they just push down a little bit and go, all right, you're good to go. It's like a panini. It's all the Botox. Where does it move the sweat to? Wherever your next hot spot is. Oh. Like for me, my armpits are always number one. Yeah, I'd say that's pretty common.

Yeah. Did it hurt when you got it? People do this. Yeah. No, I thought about doing it because it would be like every time i would go on stage it was like even if i'm about to do like tv you know whatever like you just don't want it to look like that yeah but all it does is move it to like wherever your next spot is it doesn't like stop sweating body still produces and you're you're thinking the alternative is

worse than yeah yeah i'd rather not look like i peed myself oh yeah it starts yeah yeah they go guys this sucks wet yeah and i'm not getting the shot down there either yeah you just keep moving it to the spot that you want it moved to finally it's just out of your right calf yeah yeah it's just leaking oh god you go you sweat down there because this is a lot of work to get that sweat. He goes, we thought we were going to get there in two moves. It took us about 12 moves. We were surprised it came out of the kneecaps the third time. The back of the knee sweat, that's when it's real hot. Sitting in the car, back of the knee starts sweating.

Y'all know what I'm talking about? Yeah. Okay. You've been there. Now, Nick was telling me how he rides his bike to dodgers games and yeah gets there in what like 15 minutes from my door to my seat 15 minutes that's crazy oh really yeah it's the best thing because you don't they don't stop you at the gate they don't do you just go straight up and you walk right in it's amazing isn't it uphill yeah but

it's an it's an e-bike oh yeah great yeah i mean it's the easiest thing in my life they have a place to lock it up oh yeah outside they probably encourage that they would like it they would yeah of course but it's like nobody else is doing it the thing is too is you go and you i don't mind staying till the last out you know usually if you drive there and you're like it's friday night or saturday and you're like this is gonna be an hour getting out of this parking lot not me no no i uh i'm out i judge nick based on his appearance i missed you i thought this guy's not gonna be a baseball fan he's a huge baseball fan oh yeah yeah yeah throughout the first pitch and uh mariners game that uh yeah yeah full uniform full you wore the full seattle mariners uniform ask him tell him

what it was you asked if you could do this and what did they say i said uh hey look at that movement on that ball yeah yeah the day before i was a little slider the day before this this watch watch his chin here because my he wasn't expecting this boom he i don't think that felt good for him no i mean it hurt my my it yeah but they said uh everything was on board and i tweeted and i'd been kind of tweeting back and forth they were like having a good time on social media with me and i go hey what um do you guys need my sizes for the uniform or anything? And they just said, you know, you get a jersey. And I just said, okay, well, I don't think I'll be able to make it. And then they just wrote back, all right, what sizes?

And this was like all on, you know, whatever. So I show up and there was like multiple bags with everything. They're away jerseys, they're home. I could pick between stirrups and socks, like everything. And even the like warm-up stuff are you wearing a cup yeah yeah i mean i'm wearing a cup right now yeah and a white cup yeah and uh yeah they you know it was it felt really good no one else cared that much um well that's the best part is that when you throw a first pitch, no one's paying attention. No, nobody's at the game.

No, no. And then you do a big O. I mean, that guy. But the thing is, beforehand, I announced. Look at his glove. Yeah, that was my first baseman's glove. He's wearing a first baseman glove. Look at that face there.

So they did a whole story on it because I announced my retirement directly afterwards from Major League Baseball. Yeah, on Twitter? Yeah, yeah. I announced it on Twitter. I Yeah, on Twitter? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I announced it on Twitter. I did it on Rich Eisen's show beforehand. They talked to me the morning of, and I just said,

hey, I announced it then. Because I wanted people to tune in and see this pitch. Yeah. Knowing it was going to be my last. It's a good pitch. I mean, were you nervous about the... It's a good pitch. Were you nervous about...

Because what if the pitch was bad? I was more nervous than doing the Tonight Show. Yeah. Because I knew I was like, I want to go full bore. Just comedian back there. I want to throw a pitch. Yeah.

And so, yeah. All the empty seats. And they don't give you, I was like, I thought they were going to let me go in the bullpen and warm up, but there's actually just in like one of the hall, like now I know what arenas look like,

you know, under them. It was just in one of the hallways. There's like a home plate and a dash just straight on cement. They're like, yeah, you can warm up here. You were there for that same stadium for Dustin Nickerson, right? Yeah, I kind of hung out with Dustin when he did it. So I've seen a little bit of the bowels of the stadium. It's just like a hallway.

And they're doing it just to go, we'll just let you kill a little bit of time. Were you the only one? Yeah. And this guy, this was his first time. Were you the only one? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And this guy, this was his first game. He had just come up from AAA. So he was a catcher.

And I asked him for Felix beforehand. I said, hey, can I get Felix to catch for me? Yeah. Can I get your best player to catch? And they were like, eh, this guy. We're going to give you a guy that first. This is his first game up. He is not. He didn't like any of this.

The look on his face after, poor guy. You know, but I wanted to sell it. I wanted it to be a celebration. Yeah, I mean, that guy's got his own nerves going. I mean, his family's probably there, and he's like, they're going to make me do the first pitch. But, you know, it would be good probably just to get out there. So, not only for me was it my first pitch, it was his out there. Yeah. So for not only for me, was it my first pitch?

It was his first catch. Yeah. Yeah. I wish y'all stayed in touch. Does he still play? I doubt it. I don't know. Why do you doubt it?

You know, guys like that are a dime a dozen. Yeah. Well, even a full Major League career, that's been nine years. So. Yeah. He could be done.

Yeah. I mean, how many people like make it up for a game? Yeah. Cup of coffee, guys. They're done. Yeah. I mean, how many people make it up for a game? Yeah. Cup of coffee, guys, they're called. Yeah. I call that a swinging strike is what I would say. A swinging strike, I would say.

It's going to make someone go, were you putting something on it? Yeah. Yeah. It's a good pitch. It is a really good pitch. I definitely think it'd get someone to swing. Yeah. I don't know if the speed was up there.

Yeah. Which probably would have been actually in my advantage. Yeah. If someone looks up, they think, oh, this guy's probably got some swing. Yeah. I don't know if the speed was up there. Yeah. Which probably would have been actually in my advantage. Yeah. If someone looks up, they think, oh, this guy's probably got some speed. Yeah. This guy looks up just like, oh, no. And then he's just, oh, no. Why did you not?

Didn't they give you a jersey with your name on it? I asked for Buhner. Yeah. Because I said, I'm going to throw some heat. And I, because, you know, Buhner had a rope for it. Because I said I'm going to throw some heat. Buhner had a rope. He could throw it from right field to home. It looked like it was on a clothesline.

I know. He could throw it harder than most pitchers. So that's why I was bringing the mound. People at the Mariners were probably like, we didn't know it would be this much of a thing. They did not know it. Have you done it again? No. And I think there's a reason for that.

Well, you did announce your retirement. Yeah, that's true. I mean, Rich Eisen is the whole reason I got to do it. Because I had been tweeting at them for over two years asking it. Hashtag Thune for first pitch. Became like an online joke between my fans or whatever. And so Rich Eisen was like, I'm going to make it happen. That's awesome.

Yeah. Yeah, it's great. Yeah. And then afterwards, I was out on the lake on a boat ride. My brother's wife was next to me and somebody took a photo and it looks like she's in a bikini and we're out on a boat

and I posted that photo directly. Yeah. Directly after. Yeah, it was a good time yeah that's fun alright the recent you guys comments

cicada episode comments Stephanie Horowitz this is one of my Horowitz I got that right yeah yeah

this is one of my favorite episodes you guys have ever done. I laugh so many times. Louder than I have in months. When Nate asked with so much sincerity if a moth was an old caterpillar, I nearly peed

my pants. Thanks so much. You all relate to my spirit. Do you agree with that? Yep. Nick, have you seen The Cicada yet? Is that about this episode? No, it's the one, yeah. People are already tuning in. Yeah, we already got questions. Because I missed that joke. They said you look like an old caterpillar.

That's how we describe your Nick Foon look. Dustin Fritch, Frish, Frish, Frish. Live cicadas make amazing fish bait. Live. Hook them amazing fish bait live. Hook them in the thorax.

How are you going to find a thorax? Well, thorax, lobsters have thoraxes too. It's like their spine. That's what a thorax is? It's like the torso, right? I think a thorax is their spine. I think, but a cicada is like, you would just go hook them in the cicada.

Yeah. In the middle. Yeah, there's not. He's thinking maybe you have in the cicada. Yeah. Yeah. In the middle. Yeah. There's not. He's thinking maybe you have like magnifying glass. Yeah. Yeah. Thorax is just going to be. You're both right. Well, that's our thorax.

We don't know what cicada is. Nick, have you seen a cicada yet? Nick. Okay. Oh, wow. Yeah. Those are beautiful. Oh, so he's talking about a fly.

Yeah. It's cicada season here. He's talking about a fly. If. It's cicada season here. He's talking about a fly. If you make a fly fisherman that's making it. So they get like magnifying glasses and they're like, you know, they're really in. Do you have a, yeah. Do you know about cicadas? No.

Yeah. They're out here right now. It's really loud. They make a lot of noise. Yeah. Yeah. They only come out once every 13, 17 years. Yeah.

Look at that thorax. They only come out once every 13, 17 years. Yeah. Look at that thorax. They only come out once every 13 or 17 years? Yeah. Yeah. These broods. Okay. Yeah. I'm not going to ask any questions about that word.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because there's some cicadas that come out every year, but this is a particular brood. He says this one, you toss them out, they hit the water and start buzzing, bass go crazy. Yeah. They had to be flashy. Oh, so he puts it in alive. yeah thorax is it yeah he puts it in live thorax

it's obviously going crazy bass love it they love thor is an axe or a hammer thor has a hammer right yeah he has both does he have an axe yeah what does he do with the axe? Well, he had it specially made to try to kill Thanos. Where did he get that made at? There's a special place in the universe you go to make these type of weapons. He's mostly known for his hammer.

Yeah. I bet when he did an axe, they were like, oh, like Thor axe. He's like, ugh. Alright. Well, once, like Thorax. He's like, ugh. Alright. Well, once every 13 to 17. Heather Adkins. Adkins. Concerning Nate's comments about going to Taco Bell because you're trying to be healthy. Taco Bell

is consistently named the healthiest fast food restaurant. The menu is very customizable so you can cut calories easily. Nate's right more than people give him credit for. I think Nate gets the proper amount of credit on the Nateland podcast. I'd be curious to see if Nate's also Heather Atkins. Yeah.

Heather Atkins wouldn't try. That's her diet, right? She's the Atkins diet. You take all the letters and it spells Nate Bargatze. Yeah. Jason Hunnell. Hunnell. Hunnell.

I've worked at Beats Up for 23 years in Lakeland, Michigan. I'm always happier when customers order a thin crust. Don't understand the hate. Please tell Nate

to keep his opinions to himself. There you go. Wow. We brought it back. That's always been a dream job of mine, by the way,

is pizza delivery. Yeah. You can do it uh anytime i did it with the pizza yeah during the pandemic yeah yeah when you were off when i was off yeah i i always kind of wanted to do yeah you like know all the back roads it's kind of fun fun. Yeah, yeah. I mean, this was... So this is your dream job just for like, just the navigation of it is what appeals to you? Yeah. Well, I mean, I would have... I mean, now it's all GPS. Yeah.

I mean, when I did it, it was maps. Yeah. You had a physical map. You were at Rand McNally. Yeah, yeah. I would do map. And I had maps when I delivered. There was no...

A map. I mean... A map book. A map book. And so you would just like, look at it. I just, I mean,

I, I wouldn't remember now, but I mean, I was really good at like, like localized for a specific part of town or just the whole city. Like you would turn the page and it'd be like, this is this. Cause they have that just area where that place will deliver to.

Yeah. They have like an index in the back of what street you look up the street and it's on page eight a six and then you wow you know you're like all right i gotta get to saunasville road and like or when once i get to that road then now i'm in the map area yeah so then from that road so you just know how to get to the main road and then you go all right right so just nobody's looking at the road huh everybody's looking down no no you kind of you have to look at the road back then though you just you just be like oh take a left you'd look at it go left turn right all right there we go yeah and then it was like then map quest became along and then tom tom was big but tom tom would be you you it'd be annoying to type

in every address i hate using using GPS. I mean, it's, it's such a, like my girlfriend said, the one thing she noticed about me is that I always, if I use GPS to get somewhere, I never use it to get back because I like to like, I remember,

and I like to remember, and it's more fun to like, you know, drive around. We do that when we go walk around a lot of towns, like I'll be, you know, we're like, where are we?

We're like, well, don't pull it out. Let's try to get back to where we need to get. That's kind of fun. But then there's points where... I mean, we've had a couple where you're like, all right, we're way off. Somebody type it in. Yeah, someone type it in. Jay Griffin.

If you had to choose, would you rather be a 13- brood or a 17 year brood of cicadas i'd rather be 17 because even if you miss out on what's happened at least you have four years on the young hipsters so like saying do they come out every 13 or 17 years do you want to be 17 you stay down they're just underground and they're alive the whole time yeah but then they come up and they die yeah so it's like i think i would rather be 13 because if i didn't make i would try to just see if i could hide for four years well you want to see you want to be a 13 that wants to try to be a 17 yeah yeah i mean i think i'm coming out everybody no i'm right behind you then i try to blend in with 17 guys. I just came out too.

What's up, 17? We made it. Those last four years were rough. Why do you have wings? Yeah, 17. I mean, you live longer. Also, the sleep episode. We did an episode on sleep. Micah Brockmeyerah brockmeyer broke meyer roek meyer i bet that's a name that's intimidating when you look at and i bet he's like no it's broke meyer yeah and then you're like oh okay uh-huh it looks good on a business card oh

we just call him bro yeah micah yeah throws you Micah, yeah, throws you through a loop. I'll do M. Brokemeyer. That's intimidating. That's a business name. Right. What's the M's name for you? It's Micah. You're like, oh, God. You're like, I think, can I talk to another Brokemeyer?

He's not the Brokemeyer you want to talk to. You're like, you're the only one I didn't want to get. Is your dad, brother, anybody else? Is there a John around? Is there a John broke my heart can i give my money to him the h always the like what's that h doing there micah hanging off into your life i think it's i think it's got to have an ending if it was mica you would be a problem mika i'd like it more i think no i think it's i think you'd be you need the h to be like round it off we're done yeah

yeah you know people need to know we're done all right i used to work interior remodel and construction i did not expect him to have that job but i guess as a micah in my family i'd imagine his family was in a different business right they were in a real big business and an old boss once told me to act like there was always cameras in the house. That way we would always be careful about what we said, what we did, and definitely what we touch. Do you guys act differently when you know you don't have cameras on you or are used to it? You always expect that something you say might make it on the Internet. I don't think anybody really does anything too crazy.

I don't know. I said some stuff this weekend on the bus bus yeah i would be which i have on camera uh yeah you're definitely aware i mean uh you know but you know it's like i mean when you're i always feel stupid if you're like he sometimes you're like i don't want to get this on camera you're like well who's even watching even watching? Who am I to think? Like TMZs around the corner. That should be a fun game for me. See if I could get canceled.

Because you have to have a certain amount of credibility. I just keep saying stuff and no one cares. You get canceled just because on the audacity that you think you can get canceled. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Christopher Sarnowski. Sarnowski. Sarnowski.

Sarnowski. Oh, Christopher Sarnowski. That's a pretty good name. Yeah. Christopher Sarnowski, if that's how he says it. For as old as he is, I'm always amazed at what big baller Bates does not know. Listening to Bates criticize anyone who has achieved greatness is maddening.

Maddening. Let alone someone like Nolan Ryan. He criticized Nolan Ryan. Yeah, we talked about this over the weekend, actually. I don't think I did. No, I don't think you did either. Dusty City saw somewhere online where people were saying nolan ron was the goat of any sport and i just said nolan ron's greatest the greatest power pitcher of all time no doubt

he's a great pitchers hall of famer but he's not the greatest and you know he has more walks than anyone in history you've led the league in walks many seasons wild pitches pitches. He's cool. He got in a fight. He got all the things, the blood on his face. All those things are cool. This guy just doesn't know what it's like to be friends with you. Who would? Someone like Nolan Ryan would then

immediately bring up his downfalls. That's exactly what it is. I mean, you play dodgeball and didn't root for your own side. You just assumed there's no teams. That's what you – that's pretty telling to go – literally, you're going, well, I didn't hit my side. Okay, there's probably a team sport now.

So far, that was 40 minutes ago. We're still hung up on it. I mean, it's pretty hard to get – like, it's pretty crazy to go, I didn't root for them once I got knocked out. You're like, that's the whole point of the dodgeball. I didn't know the rules. It's not rules. It's just humanity.

You got a side that you're not trying to hit, and your thought isn't, well, I bet they're on my team. Your thought is that you hope they get hit. Well, Nick, who's on my side, did kick me in the face with a ball. That was true. That was very funny. He got hit and then I hit you too. You got hit on your own side. Nick tried to kick it up and it was just

So you're getting attacked from all angles. Yeah, so forgive me if I didn't know who. Yeah, he doesn't know who's who. But that is why. If you were friends with Nolan Ryan, you would definitely bring up the walks and all the other stuff. I like to keep it real.

Yeah. I mean, I brought up to Sonny Gray that he led the league in wild pitches when he was sitting right there. Yeah. So, yeah, wonderful, nice human being. It's fun. Like the thought of him, like, not knowing the rules and getting hit by the ball from me and being like, oh, I guess that's.

He's like, like I said, this is a all or not like everybody's on their own because you hit him well i took somebody to a baseball game once in their first baseball game and it was jackie robinson day so everyone on the field had no last name on their jersey and they were all number 42 and i was have be like, it's not always like this. They don't always all have the same number. Ron Shade. Aaron is nuts. Most of Jordan's records have not been beaten.

Ron Shade, do a little show. I know. I was speaking hyperbolically. I'm sorry if I overstated things, but he has had some records broken. I don't know about most. Hyperbolic. Yeah. I mean, records are made to be broken. Hyperbolic.

Hyperbroccoli. Broccoli? Is it hyperbroccoli? Like hyper, like you're going to eat some hyperbroccoli. Yeah. Like that's like a superfood. It's a superfood. Hyperbroccoli.

I'll take some hyper broccoli, please. All right. We only have laid back broccoli. Yeah, we have regular broccoli. It's mushy. LeBron broke Michael Jordan's record for most points in the playoffs all time. And I'm sure there are a bunch of others. He still has a ton.

You're right, Ron. I was wrong. I don't know if I'm nuts but you know i was wrong about that that's again like you just can't you know some people if you just say anything negative about michael jordan they're just gonna say oh wow yeah you know i went back and watched y'all ever watch uh stump the schwab on esp uh i do remember you know that guy died recently oh really the schwab yeah you ever see that show nick it was this guy who just knew everything about sports and he knew so much that the whole game show was just do you know more than this guy named the schwab and i went back and re-wrote we watched uh some old episodes it's

so much fun he knows everything yeah it was a good yeah i remember watching it was a really it was a great show because it was just a regular person that thinks they know everything versus this dude that just knew did he ever lose he got stumped a couple times i think yeah i saw one he got stumped it's amazing but they're like named the last 49 mvps in the nhl or something and these guys just they can rattle it off man oh it's more than one person it's a bunch of people competing and they narrow it down until it's one-on-one versus the Schwab. I'm surprised they didn't say that show. Then if they beat the Schwab, they win.

They win the show. People beat them. Yeah, but it was rarely. Yeah, that's a great idea for a show. As they did it. Jake Tobias. That's like a... Yeah, that show jay gets that all the time uh arrested development yeah wasn't it wasn't it tobias tobias funky or something yeah that's a good

name though jake cross okay uh no jake tobias uh i was trying to do a joke like you said like you mispronounce the name it's like i was trying to do a joke. I mispronounced the name. It's like I was trying to do a... Comedy? Trying. We should plug it out there. I got to tell you what, we try every day. Doesn't always stick, but Nate tries on here, man. Nate calling Aaron Richard Jewell

really went under the radar for some reason. Am I the only one thinking he could have played that part superbly? That's a security guard? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's just... It's great. That's a security guard that. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's just,

it's great. That one's. It's great. It's yeah. It's, I mean, you're not Richard Jewell, but man.

That's the actor that played him. Yeah. He's so funny. That's what I'm thinking about. And, but no, if I shaved my beard and I was a little bit older. Yeah.

Yeah. That could be me. It's, it's a perfect, when you call someone out and you think it's that. This is kind of perfect. You know what you say? You would see that actor and be like, Aaron. And you say Aaron's name to that guy.

So then Aaron looks over and sees that we think it's that guy. You want it to be, and I'm not saying that guy's bad, but you want it to be a little'm not saying that guy's bad but you want it to be a little extreme exaggerated of what of course it's a perfect if you can get what sometimes when it's too exact it's not as funny but if it's a little exaggerated where it's going to maybe hurt that person's feelings a little bit yeah that's like i mean that's that's that's where you get it's a real sweet spot what was the context that that you called me Richard Jewell? It was life.

I don't remember. I believe it was out of nowhere. And you're like, that doesn't make sense. I just wanted to say it. You're just like, shut up, Richard Jewell. We were talking about Clint Eastwood movies. And I think you called him Richard Jewell. Yeah.

I bet Richard Jewell wasn't much older than you when that Olympic thing happened. Really? So that was in 96? They just looked older back then. It's awful. People did look older back then. We watched

The Cincinnati Kid this weekend and Steve McQueen. We were way off on his age. We thought he was 50. He was 35. 35. He was 34

when this all went down. Oh, did he die? Yeah. Yeah, he died. Oh. 2007. That's terrible. At 44.

Yeah. And what they did to him, yeah, that's awful, man. Man. So he was about your age when that happened. Yeah. That's terrible.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Unbelievable. That movie's great. That guy that plays him is unbelievable. Yeah, that guy's so funny. He's in some other movie's great. That guy that plays him is unbelievable. Yeah, that guy's so funny. He's in some other movie. Yeah.

It's impressive. Nice. There you go. They've got the Schwab over here. You know what? I think I've seen that. You're right. Yeah, it was definitely a movie.

Yeah. Lucas Dahl. Y'all's discussion on this week's podcast about where we it was definitely a movie. Lucas Dahl. Y'all's discussion on this week's podcast about where we'd be as a society if we didn't sleep had me thinking. What would you rather give up, sleeping or eating? Sleeping. If you gave up sleep, you'd never be tired. If you gave up sleep, you would never be tired.

You could sleep, you just don't have to sleep. Same with eating. If you give up eating, you'd never be hungry. You could sleep. You just don't have to sleep. Same with eating. If you give up eating, you'd never be hungry. You could eat. You just don't have to eat to survive. But so are you like, do you stay fit? Let's say yes.

If you stay fit, then I would say sleeping. Just get everything done. You'd have to pray. Have some form of meditation. Something to kind of zone out. Didn't he say you could sleep if you wanted to? Yeah. I mean, he's basically, he said, what would you give up?

By the way, either one of them you gave up, it'd be really easy to give up. Yeah. Like there's, because when you give up, if you gave up sleep, don't worry. Never be tired. No, nothing back. And you could sleep if you want to eating you're never gonna be hungry but if you want to eat you could eat it's the most low pressure thought experiment ever yeah but what if uh like if like if you're all like if you give up eating

if you're like always hungry but can't eat that would be a or if you give up sleeping you're always tired but you can't sleep i think the the the just broad you know you would you give up you're like i'd rather not sleep because i? You're like, I would rather not sleep because I can get more stuff down, or I'd rather not eat because you don't have to think about food ever again. Yeah. Because you'd never be able to enjoy it. You still have to feed your family and stuff too, though. So it's not like food's not.

They have to feed themselves. Like I said, I do not go to the grocery store. Yeah. But maybe I would go. Do you still have to sit at dinner with everyone? I'm sure that'd be frustrating. I think you just got to sit around a lot while people are eating. You realize how much people eat.

Well, you're going to realize how much people sleep too. Yeah. But I mean, you could go do stuff. You could be like, when I go sleep, I just become Batman. Prowl around at night I mean the hard part is you're not sleeping so you're probably eating

you're just eating all night and you're just you're kind of a fatter you're a fat man fat man that has to go he goes

I ride around at night just his car is like a ghostbuster's car and the siren's a little slower it's just it's not as fast

because it's but when he gets out of the car, it starts going fast. And then when he sits back in it, it starts going slow again. He just yells at criminals from inside the car. He never gets out.

Hey guys, cut it out. Is that the guy that doesn't sleep? Go to bed. Courtney Lohr. I thought a bottle episode was where the entire episode takes place in one room yeah I looked that up I was wrong about that

I said that with a lot of confidence too I learned a lot of lessons last week about my behavior and I want to apologize to everybody Derek Jackson Nate what are your thoughts on prop comics are there any prop comics that really make you laugh or do you not consider them true comedians?

No, I do. I think Carrot Top is unreal. I don't think he's a comedian. He's doing an act. It's an act. It's a mix of this. People can do acts. What do they call it?

If you can go up there and stand alone. What about guitars? Again, just mean. Yeah. He's mean. I'm known as the mean one yeah just all day long yeah that's fine bully baits yeah bully baits yeah i mean people have called people do call sometimes the guitar prop yeah nick goes up on stage with a guitar i i love it so i don't i i don't think it because you're not it's not really a prop you're doing jokes and you go alone yeah i mean i've watched you do you know it's like

it's not like you can't i would say you know it's not like you couldn't go up there i mean i think even like carrot top like his thing is that but i think carrot top could be funny without everything but you want to go see all this stuff i was always a big fan of carrot top uh i saw him like not that long i mean six years ago or something but it was great in las vegas yeah residency yeah and we got tickets and he's the nicest guy he we got me and my friend that were doing a show there got tickets from our agents right and then in the middle of the show he goes and i hear there's a couple other comedians out here that uh and he walked out because he's sponsored by some like what are

those like cinnamon whiskeys or whatever fireball fireball but something like fire uh and he walked out because he's sponsored by some like what are those like cinnamon whiskeys or whatever fireball fireball but something like fireball and he walks out with two of them and he gives them to us and he had a drink with us in the audience oh that's cool and then like went back on stage wow that's all and then he let us come back to his green room which was funny because there was a drum set in the corner and a bartender and like a lot of like you know posters and all these things but he was just sitting there playing drums and we're all hanging out in the green room which is funny because it's not like sitting around playing guitar

it's definitely taking over the room yeah what's? Thanks for the tickets. Yeah. That is very funny. When you have a residency for years at a place, you probably put some weird stuff in your green room. Oh, yeah. I mean, this is my house, basically. And it's so fun. I mean, the Vegas residency, I did the Laugh Factory there once, and they kind of run it like what a stage show is like. And they are just like five minutes.

Everyone in places you go on stage you get off stage at the exact time all these people are working to get the show going it's really fun yeah it's got to be a really great thing and he seemed like he i think he tries out a couple new props every week yeah like he had he's still working on ideas and stuff yeah so cool he was really funny and he had some real current stuff yeah yeah your story's not current about him but yep yeah he had some current stuff six years ago yeah yeah yeah it could be still doing that stuff yeah yeah i bet he does yeah i think it's i would love to see a show he seemed like a guy that's not happy being lazy. Yeah. Well, yeah.

He's big. He works out. Yeah, he's an active dude. Yeah. Yeah. All right. You ever seen the Norm MacDonald man grate ads that he did? No.

He had one sponsor. I don't think you can play him the language in him. He had one sponsor for his podcast that was the man grate or the man grill or something, whatever it's called. And he, they stopped, they wouldn't let him do it anymore because he was being so like the ads were just so hilarious. Like they were hilarious, but not good for the product. And, but it made it even bigger. I mean, it became one of his biggest watch videos. And then I even see him get interviewed about it and he's like, they pulled it and the week that they pulled it he still did the ad yeah but if you ever have time you got to watch the super cut of it is so funny yeah it's just the tool that cleans your the grade of your

no there's a great but it comes with a tool that he which even i mean just hearing you say that makes me laugh knowing the way that he would say it so funny well this week could not have worked out better i was already planning to do an episode on fashion but with dusty here and then dusty had a scheduling conflict and couldn't make it and i mean who could have been better to have on this episode maybe ralph lorenz is more fashionable than dusty he knows in his own way just throw dusty under the bus to yeah i mean dusty's got a style it does have a style yeah that's the one type of fashion is like some people decide this is my look yeah you know like hat t-shirt jeans anywhere i go

expect it you know how much thought do you guys put into your wardrobe for your shows oh for the shows is different yeah i mean not just every day like for a show yeah because you're conveying a certain thing on stage and you know like certain people wear suits if it fits their style of comedy right i always try to dress very nice and uh but i always try to wear i always wanted to wear something that's uh not too showy it's very nice and i would want you know the wives in the crowd to be like oh i could buy that for my husband it was like i want i don't want to wear anything that no one could not wear you know so it's like you wear something that's just you know as you know and as the shows got bigger you know you're doing clubs i'd wear hoodies and you slowly you just kind of move up

and then as you get to more and more higher stuff you end up just being like yeah you look like with a little purpose like you you know and i do like i like i do like clothes i like uh you know i i get tired of the same thing in my head i want to wear the same thing every day but i i would get tired of the same thing also in your position where you're in front of so many people you know like you got to make sure that it like fits right that it yeah because when you're up when you're on stage and you feel uncomfortable at all it really throws oh yeah but you're my goal is to wear something that people in the audience are like where would you even get something like that yeah yeah but not like crazy like right no no yeah but like we don't know where you got that we don't know how have you always. We don't know how. Have you always been into fashion? Yeah, but never like good.

I didn't always have good taste in fashion. Yeah. You know, like when I was younger, I, things that I thought were cool were not cool. Like what? I mean,

like my senior year in high school and now it's kind of cool, but I wore boat shoes the whole year. My senior year in high school with like, I wore swimsuit and boat shoes. And like, that was my look. To school? Yeah.

To class? Yeah. A swimsuit? And boat shoes. And like, that was my look. To school? Yeah. To class? Yeah. A swimsuit? And boat shoes. Yeah. Yeah. It was just my thing. I liked it.

You're peacocking. My dad, well, my dad wore boat shoes and I like, I loved them. I thought they looked so cool. Yeah.

And, and now boat shoes are back. Like people like, like penny loafers, boat shoes, those types of things are like really in right now. No socks.

No socks. Yeah. Have you ever wore socks? Yeah. I always wear socks unless they're leather shoes, leather shoes. You didn't wear socks this weekend. That's just a hilarious question.

Oh yeah. But those I'm wearing leather shoes. Oh, I see. If you're wearing leather, it won't smell. But if you're wearing anything other than leather, it's going to smell.

Really? Your leather shoes won't smell. Yeah. No. I'd like to try that out. It, I think I can test it. I think I can change how you think about that. Yeah, you should. You should try it out because my shoes end up smelling bad all the time.

And then I found that like, oh, the leather doesn't. Wow. Okay. The sole of it all. Like if I were to wear a pair of tennis shoes today with no socks, by the end of the day, they would be ruined. Yeah, it's a mess. It would be horrible.

They would feel horrible. Put a leather shoe on. I wear most of my leather shoes. I never wear socks. Wow. Yeah. You don't feel weird? Are you used to it?

Yeah. Yeah. Well, but, I mean, that's like if you're wearing, I mean, I do like to wear a nice sock if I'm wearing slacks or something. It looks nice, but you don't have to, especially in the summer it's nice to not wear socks yeah if you have the right pant on the thing about that too is how long your pants are because there's so many different ways to wear pants you know like if you go in and you're like I want my pants hemmed they'll show you like three different options like do you want it to sit above your shoe do you want it to just crease one time

on your shoe do you want to fold it? You know, like there's all these different things. So like, depending on the shoe and the sock and everything, that's where you get your pant length. Is that what a boot cut is? Boot cut is a wider base. So a boot cut is going to be like not tapered, but mostly boot cuts are kind of out. Like a bell bottom. is going to be like not tapered but mostly boot cuts are kind of out like a bell bottom yes a very minimal bell bottom okay but um one secret that i always have that i like with my pants and this is something that people have taken from me you're right he is better in dust yeah yeah is you like any pair of pants that you have if you have if you were to take them in and just have them fitted, it costs $15, $20.

They're always going to feel better. But if they're like, if you want the bottoms to like, if you have a straight leg and you don't want to wear tapered pants, but you want them to be like neater, you go take it in from the knee down on the inseam, three quarters of an inch. And they basically just like, they just from the inseam down and from the knee three quarters of an inch and it just makes it fit better and i did that to all of my pants and all of them fit like oh this is great like because it in a way instead of shopping over and over and spending a lot of money why don't you buy one nice thing and have it fitted well and then you can wear it with everything you know yeah it's a yeah getting fitted there was a uh uh guy that talked about getting his golf pants fitted and it was funny he did a video

eric andersling uh which he does a lot of great golf stuff and but i remember seeing this and i and i told him i uh because i saw a video where he where he just did a random video where he goes, people always ask why his golf pants look so good. And he was like, I just take them and get fitted. It's like four bucks or something, whatever it is. And I never thought about that with golf pants. And now that's what I do. And you're like, oh, yeah.

And it is fitted pants. That's a big secret. You could take your whole wardrobe and just go, just fit your pants and have stuff taken in. And you look, you go from sloppy to nice. Even, I mean, this, and this is, people are gonna be like, this is lame, but even t-shirts, you know, like the length of a t-shirt, the way it falls on you, you're talking like if a t-shirt is an inch longer than what's good, you're adding 15, 20 pounds on your body just by looks.

Whereas if it's the right length, then it is actually concealing and it's fitting you better. So if you have shirts that you wear, how many times are you going to wear a t-shirt? When you buy a shirt that you like, how many times will you wear it? For three, four years, right? Yeah. So you take it in one time and have them fit it right and then you go out now you got a three four years that you're never uncomfortable wearing it because i do have t-shirts and i'm like oh this one makes me look

like i can see my stomach way more than you know this shirt or something yeah i bet that's tough on you it can be hard yeah but i get through it know, I've got my own support. I like a shirt. Boy, if it's down to my knees, I'd be all right. I started to wear a bigger stuff because we have a weight thing. I don't know if you're doing good, but I'm off the rails still. Oh, really? Oh, good. I'm going to get a good head start on it. Oh, you've been doing good?

Yeah, I've been doing okay. You need to alter the rules, though. Why? Because you're starting at a different – is the rules you got to get down to 165 or you got to lose 30 pounds? Because those are two different things. They are. Y'all are starting at the same spot now.

Yeah. I think I'm close to two. Oh, man. I saw two last night, but I had shoes on. I told you I never – That's when you start doing calculations like that. You're like, wow. Last night, it was 200.

I had shoes on. I did it at the very end of the night. This morning was 195. But it's bad. Yeah, you never weigh yourself at night. I know. I just wanted to see 200. Y'all should just race to 225.

Yeah. That's what Eric said. That'd be more fun. Yeah. That would actually be a great one. You're trying to go down to 225. I'm trying to go up to 225. For one of you, that'd be a lot of fun. Oh, I don't know.

Well, who do you think is trying to get up to 225? You. Okay. I thought you were saying it like you were like, well, you didn't know. Yeah. I mean, it would be easy. I could get there. I might get there.

Two more weekends. I mean, yeah. No. I mean, it's a problem, dude. I mean, I am a problem. But so with your- I sat in a long McDonald's line last night after Huntsville. A McDonald's way home.

And then drove over to Dairy Queen. That's why you wanted to drive home alone. Yeah, I drove home alone. Then drove to Dairy Queen because they that's why you wanted to drive home alone yeah I drove home then drove to Dairy Queen because they had one right next to it the line was just too long where I go come on you can't be doing this yeah and uh then went and had to take some back roads got out peed near trash can like just a wild animal like a guy that didn't just sell out an arena I mean just well I was like yeah like I go down this other way of leaving Huntsville. And last night, I just, everybody took the bus back.

And then I like to, you know, it's a close drive. I'll take it. I'll just drive alone. Just so I don't, there's no talking. I can just mind my own business. Go to McDonald's and Dairy Queen, no judgment. And like a Planet Fitness inside, alone in a car. And then I go and I was like going down these back ways and it was like kind of industrial area.

Yeah. And I kind of had to pee and I was like, I'm going to just, you know, I was like, I mean, I'm just in the middle of now. I was like, well, I'll just pee right. This is easier than, and I mean, just like a wild animal. Yeah. I was doing a show for 10,000 people an hour ago. Yeah. We went out of the way one night to find a Waffle House like at 2 a.m.

Drove to another state. I don't know if there's anything better than 2 a.m. Waffle House, man. Yeah, it was good, man. It never disappoints. It was good. The all-star special. Yeah, Zimbaluxi. They had 100 Waffle Houses.

And so Stroop ordered it for us all and then picked one that was 20 minutes away from us. We had to drive past three Waffle Houses to get to this Waffle House. We went past three, did a U-turn, had to get on the highway. I don't know how he picked. He picked the one that's couldn't be farther away.

The funny thing was we turn around and he's like, no, it's really close. And then we all looked at we could see he's holding the GPS and it's saying to. And then we all looked at, we could like see he's holding the GPS and it's saying to merge onto a highway. I see the word merge. I go, Derek, do I see the word merge

on your phone? Like, how are we getting on? We're driving. There's a wall for us. You could throw a rock from at that hotel. Yeah. But you know,

he ordered it. So he did some, he did do that. We appreciate that. He didn't pay for it. Wait, did know, he ordered it. So he did some. He did do that. We appreciate that. He didn't pay for it. Wait, did he pay? No. I think Julian was supposed to pay for it.

Julian won money at the casino. Yeah. I don't know who paid for it. Did you pitch in with your 34 cents? Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. The thing about clothes, too, though, I was just thinking before that run was like uh

you have clothes that fit you at certain weights that are in your closet that you see when you go through it and you're like oh god i wish i was at that one right now like one day yeah one day would be uh don't throw that out one day i'll be able to get dude that's where i could tell i have a couple i have these two florida state shirts that are like uh the nike under armor kind of shirts long sleeve and so i got them when i did the show there and so i wear them a lot like on the bus at night i wear shorts in that shirt and i mean those shirts were always like my favorite shirts they're big they're whatever and i mean it is it's insane they're not as comfortable and that shirt has never not been comfortable and i'm like i'm like i'm out of my mind that i'm up to wear this shirt like i put it

on and i can tell i can when i put a shirt on i can tell it doesn't have to be on i can have it once it is kind of hits my shoulders i can be like, this is no good. I need to be slipping in it. I've been wearing, yeah, this is one Madewell. Those sweatshirts, yeah. Yeah, they're oversized, and it's cool that they're oversized. They just fit regularly now? Yeah. I'll tell you what, if you want to look nice

and you're in a position like I'm in where your body stinks, shop at madewell uh just they they're very basic looking t-shirts but they're cool and they look stylish they're oversized sweatshirts yeah oh man and you can yeah the t-shirts too are very are very oversized and big and they're it's just a very comfortable it's a when you're wearing a big yeah there we go that woman right there yeah that's what he's got yeah so they have made well men they got made well men you probably have to order it uh but yeah yeah i think with my so i i do have for when i go out on the road i have a stylist amber and uh she done because she did all my because we do specials you

would do have a stylist i would take that stuff seriously. I know it's hard for comics to take it seriously. It might not seem like I care about it. But I do care about it. Because I do think you're... It's like when you start doing stuff, you start doing big arenas and people are spending money to come see you as an act. I think you should appropriately look like the act

that they should see. Also, people dress in a way that they know they're going to be seen in public, right? Well, what if you're the only person that 10,000 people are seeing for an hour? Yeah. You'd probably want to look good. Yeah. And so Amber's done all my stuff. And I mean, she's on Instagram. We've posted a lot of stuff. She's on Instagram.

We've posted a lot of stuff. She does a lot of Nashville, a lot of country music. All my stuff is stuff I can easily wear once I'm done off tour. Nick's done some stuff for you. When you went to Alaska, he helped you pick out some stuff. We went. Are we going to show that? Yeah.

You know, it's, yeah, I definitely think I like these looks more now than I, as I get older. It really, you really, you know, I've learned, like, as you get older, it's, you know, you do, you feel better when you don't, you're, I, I, I've learned like, as you get older, it's, uh, you know,

you do, you feel better when you don't, you're not like a slob. And I'm, I'm wearing, this is athletic gear has gotten pretty nice though now. Uh, but it's like,

but even if I wear athletic gear all the time or golf stuff all the time, you like, sometimes you're like, I do want to, you know, if I have jeans on and something that's kind of fun and looks good, you just feel like, all right, well, I feel good. Athleisure, you know, is like, it's like people travel in it. They got, people are like, oh, if I get a matching top and bottom, it looks good.

I mean, I wear like athletic pants with like velvet shoes. Yeah. Because it's like, if you can make it look good and make it look like you're just like oh this guy's just wearing what he has and putting it together that's that's a fashion in its own yeah yeah yeah that's definitely i'm wearing those boots right now oh wow yeah big day no socks see see look you you look that that sweatshirt looks great on you yeah yeah you bought a whole bunch of stuff from this. And then I was like,

I felt like I had to, he made me, he goes, he goes, shoot this. And then, uh, I thought you liked this stuff.

I did, but just being nice. was you you said in front of uh in front of the guy you go uh yeah you just buy all this stuff and i was like okay i guess i'm buying all this stuff and then i bought it all um i looked i might have been skinnier than uh that shirt does look good uh Uh, this is snake oil provisions, by the way, in Los Angeles. Did you buy that outfit? I bought that at a women's store.

Actually. Yeah. I was shopping with my girlfriend and I was like, actually this surprise, they made it this big. And, oh yeah. It's funny as I just, I didn't wear, I did not wear what did not wear what no no you go you were shopping for the tonight show and then i go just don't wear a hoodie with a blazer yeah and then that's

what he throws on uh actually my stylist amber was not yeah she she was not thrilled about that yeah that one either uh i went i went kind of rogue on that one and I was like this is good I think I would appreciate more you tell you a lot of it with fashion is what you wear yeah I mean it's crazy I wore just I mean yeah it wasn't no one was happy about that

that's like it's like you're wearing a hooded sweatshirt and you're like god I'm kind of cold does anyone have a jacket all we have is this blazer alright you may tell you why though it's because of my body when you when you're when you're not like Does anyone have a jacket? All we have is this blazer. All right. Let me tell you why, though. It's because of my body. Yeah. When you're not like, if you, for the hot second, I was skinny on the last special. I mean, I wore, you can wear anything.

You're wearing, I mean, you do not care what you're wearing. So your body, you're like a mannequin. So you can put anything on a mannequin. You're like, wow, that looks cool. But when your body starts getting a little lumpy, well, then you're like, well, now where is everything fitting? And you feel very uncomfortable. That's when you start. That's when you have things that are fitted, that are roomier, that are better.

Yes. roomier that are better that yes also you know when you wear like a if you're uncomfortable with your body and you wear a t-shirt and it's a thin cotton poly blend or whatever t-shirt it's not going to look good it's going to it's going to bend and rest but if you get like a heavy shirt like you know those haynes like heavy shirts that they have like those those t-shirts are great for people that are uncomfortable with their body because they are they don't like fold and and and go around like they hold a shape and that's what you want to hold is that shape and if you have it so that it fits your shoulders well if you have it so it fits your shoulders well it'll even make you look a little muscular well you spell that h a couple of months ago a couple months i mean i'm gonna go about it sure aaron and i were out in tacoma washington and we had a woman a fan of the podcast who's a stylist right hook us up with

some clothes and i think i know i am I think you were both wearing those on stage. Yeah. I still, I wouldn't have bought more of the stuff that she picked out for us. I think it's just nice. It's such a very good this weekend. It's all the stuff that she really Brian looked very, very nice.

Yeah. Yeah. All those were stuff she picked. It's all about like, we just live our whole life. I think you and I are like Brian, like you're just in this comfort zone of clothing. You feel silly, even taking a chance or branching out at all yeah it just takes somebody

going try this on yeah i would never have grabbed that off a rack i would never been in the store where that was even an option yeah no so it just takes somebody going i tell you what i think it'd be a great gift for uh your husband was father's day coming up right i think so like that'd be but it's like if you did like yo get on like we're gonna buy you one fitted outfit yeah just get it tailored and it's not and i think too it's like because i think you think all this stuff's gonna be super expensive and all this be the it can be but then also there's a world like with the golf when the golf guy did the 50s like yeah you go to a dry cleaners like it's it's really nothing to get us and you could go get something old that you like and just get it fitted to where you're comfortable and then you're like you're back in business and it will look like

new clothes people if one thing that i always suggest is when you see somebody that's wearing something you like just ask them i mean that, I'm not going to do that. Why not? I mean, if you want to have it. I'm not doing that. Nick tells you to do that. You know who also does that, though? Like a lot of times women, like when they're buying,

I'll get messages from women like, hey, where can I get my husband that jacket you're wearing? Like where can I get jackets like that for my husband? Typical women comments. Yeah, where can I make my husband look more like you? wearing. Where can I get jackets like that for my husband? Typical women comments. Yeah, where can I make my husband look more like you? Have you ever... That's what you tell her.

You go, you can't. Sweetheart, you can't. You call everybody sweetheart. Have you ever seen a TV show or a movie that's influenced you to buy something based on... Looked cool in that movie. Talented Mr. Ripley.

Oh my gosh. Yeah. I believe it too. What Jude Law was wearing. Yeah. No, I, one of my,

I one time said that, like I went out shopping for that outfit for a tonight show appearance. Yeah. I heard a woman say. Great outdoor. Old 96 or t-shirt. Yeah. Beetle juice.

Yeah. Charlie Sheen and two and a half men bowling shirts i got into that really oh yeah no oh i did go your act would be very different i went to a oh it would be you that that would be that's like a scenario if someone you listen to this that would be mad you you acting a bowling shirt would be you'd have to be a different comic yeah your persona and everything about you would be different yeah yeah i went to a hawaiian shirt phase for a while yeah i can and you're a mix of like you like kind of goofy stuff you wear walmart slides a little bit not not on stage or anything but just no yeah but you just you get older and then again when you start doing comedy start headlining i tell a lot of comics i'm like there's a point when people are there to see you you don't i'm not saying go buy a tuxedo it's like just look you almost would be

unnoticeable sometimes nice is almost unnoticeable so when you go up there people don't even really think about it because you're like, I'm taking the pressure off. That's why Seinfeld wears a suit. That's why a lot of people do wear a suit. I would like to wear a suit. You know, because it's just like, all right, the suit, you just, someone goes, he's wearing a suit, looks good. And you're just focusing on what the person's saying. You're not thinking about their outfit anymore because it's not crazy or whatever.

Sometimes you'll wear something pretty bold like there's one with the flowers the flower jacket yeah that i wore on the in the snl picture i just that jack i love that jacket the way it fits you have some loud like hooded sweatshirts i've always liked loud like i've always growing up i liked shoes that looked crazy. I loved the most outlandish. Any basketball shoe that looked insane was my favorite. Bowling shoes? Did you wear those? No, I didn't wear that.

I wasn't that cool. I wasn't, you know, hip. Yeah, like see that watch right there. Like that definitely inspired. Wow. How about that? Brian, what about you you was there a movie or a tv show gun smoke i remember there was a phase where i did look up some movies that influenced uh fashion andy griffith show you gotta want to look like everybody on that i just want to wear all black and white they go go, you see Floyd?

He goes, is that the barbershop? No, when Floyd goes out and does some dinner. On the town. On the town. I like where you're going, though. It's like, I just want to, you know, all black and white colors like they were wearing. They're like, well, that was. It was black and white. I want to dress like Barney when he went to Mount Pilot.

Yeah. Floyd Lawson yeah um now what else oh um when the when the Risky Business came out

Ray Bans went way up in sales oh yeah Tom Cruise uh wore them in Risky Business and then there was a couple

and I thought Dusty's gonna jump out Dusty's a huge John Travolta fan really? yeah you wouldn't think it wouldy's a huge John Travolta fan. Really? Yeah. You wouldn't think it, would you?

Yeah. He loves John Travolta. Seen all his movies. That's crazy. And there's a couple that John Travolta influenced. What's the first one? Saturday Night Fever or Stayin' Alive. Grease.

But Stayin' Alive and Saturday Night Fever, they're the same character. I can't remember which one came first, but it's about disco in the late 70s. Yeah. And the three-piece polyester suit that he wore in that movie, everybody started wearing those to disco. And then... To disco.

In the late 70s. Said like my grandfather. When they went out to the discotheque. Bibliotheca. No, that's a library. Sorry, everybody. Talking about this suit right here? with the white with the uh the yeah okay you gotta have a body people actually wore that yeah but you gotta have a body for that suit dude you know what my body would look like in that suit i mean i would be so embarrassed like the pillsbury dope oh my gosh it would just be

michelin man like a lot of people are like, did you leave the tag on? You're like, no, that's my nipples. It's just no one can tell. They're just confused. Did you take the... There you are. I mean, just...

I wish I looked like that. I wish I looked like the Michelin guy. There's actually consistency with his body i don't i have no consistency i mean i would kill to look like that oh man look at he looks unbelievable look at those shoulders yeah you just wouldn't know what you're getting that's the thing is i when i wear something you don't you just see a different size look at the original mission yeah yeah hey and then uh when he did the movie urban cowboy it made cowboy looks like popular do you think a single movie can influence culture in that same way now i feel like it can't there's just so much going on uh Uh, what's that?

I think Tik TOK, like what's that video that girl dancing wearing goth. It's like Adam's family or something like that. And it's like, uh, I don't know. I don't know. It's like,

she's, she does a crazy dance and yeah, I think it's like, uh, like Adam's family. Like I, I don't know if it's Wednesday or something. Yeah.

Yeah. Something like that. Like, I feel like I bet people start wearing those gothy dresses. And then those big pants. I mean, there's still fashion. So I think these people. Yeah, but like you said, Tom Cruise wore Ray-Bans in a movie and it shot up Ray-Bans.

Well, that would be, I think, more there's no movie star. There's not a movie star anymore. So there's not someone movie star anymore so there's not a there's not someone to do that with but there's the trends are more broad because there's no one that's you know but i mean taylor swift wore ray-bans i think ray-bans would yeah you know but now they would give people uh you know they probably ruin it too because they would give them the brand they would give them like a line in their brand, which kind of ruins it.

The point is Tom Cruise wore Ray-Bans that I can buy instead of going to buy Tom Cruise's Ray-Bans. Right. Where now Tom Cruise is like, buy my Ray-Bans. It's the idea that you're like, no, I just want to buy something that's... He had a Ray-Ban as a Top Gun too. He probably does own a stake in Ray-Bans at some level. Maybe.

But he doesn't promote? Like, you know, he's done commercials. No, the thing is, is those look like Ray-Bans, but they're probably like Oliver Peoples or some sort of like higher brand. Oliver Peoples. I mean, that's just like a really expensive glasses. Yeah, I never heard of that. I thought Ray-Bans was top of the line. Yeah.

No. Not as good as it gets. Did, uh... Oh, man, what was I going to say? Oh, but you said those could be nicer sunglasses. But surprisingly enough, I've noticed, you know, as like now that I do have to, you know, pick clothes up when you do the SNL, like you're doing a lot of fittings and a lot of stuff like that.

But a lot of stuff is not crazy like it's not a crazy you you know you always think everything on tv is going to be like well you can't even get that a lot of stuff is you'll be surprised won't be that i wear a lot of marine layer uh marine layers very nice uh but it's not anything you know you would think like it's sometimes it could be a shirt that's like, you know, well, this is some crazy, whatever. And it's like, it's not as much as you think. Like I was surprised there's, you know, you said about a Hanes t-shirt. Well, you know, and again, if you have the right body, let me tell you, this is go work

out because I mean, I, I trust me. I, my body's I'm wearing i'm hiding everything i got black on top of black just in case you can see through just superman x-ray vision i want him to have one more struggle uh it's you know i mean do you know what do you wear like do you not feel you can be a different i found a t-shirt i like comfort colors t-shirt yeah comfort colors i like the way they feel i bought like you're a big guy i think your body of them i i your body is better because you're just a big dude like derrick strupe i mean he tucks his shirt in on stage yeah it's crazy everything's about everything but it works

it looks fine it looks you know it works for his personality it does yeah yeah it's crazy everything's about everything but it works it looks fine it looks you know it works for his personality it does yeah yeah it works terrifically he looks like a coach that like blew a gasket yeah and he had to go on stage yeah yeah finding something that's like a t-shirt that works like pro sports club is a t-shirt brand you ever seen them on ebay it's like four dollars a t-shirt like this this is that i buy like all of and it's four bucks super easy you can get them like heavy duty they fit great they got like a big collar they look kind of cool but yeah i would say most fashion is really just it's like anything just paying attention like it's not like a lot of times someone's buying

something that's uh it's not like they know of times someone's buying something that's uh it's not like they know something you don't know they just are trying like it's like if you want to go through a line quicker it's like if you go to the airport you just pay attention and go like all right well i know the one in the middle is the one everybody's going to because most people are not paying attention well if i just pay attention i'll just go over here and there's one little line over here that no one's paid you You know, it's that. It's kind of that. It's also knowing what the once you get old enough to know, like, oh, I need like a T.

If I have like three T-shirts and I'm traveling, that'll be good for the whole time. And that way I don't have to like change shirts over and over and over again. The same color. Very simple. Keep it classic. I've been trying to do like i wear those made well t-shirts and then i got these i got a few pairs of pants these blue delta uh they're like mississippi company and they and someone commented on them this week you wore them

in bolexi i think yeah yeah one comment yeah that uh she said her husband or vice versa he's wearing blue delta yeah because we're mississippi i mean i wear i've been wearing them now they got some very comfortable pants and they do a fitted thing and uh but like so i've been wearing those like and i just wear i wore them on stage because they do look great and then uh but yeah it's a lot of uh you know i don't know they're just nice and i eat like a consistent i don't know as you get, it's a lot of, you know, I don't know. They're just nice. And you like a consistent, I don't know, as you get older, it's like you feel better going out.

If you're, you know, just like you're kind of put together. We've got three different decades here of growing up. You and Nate are essentially the same age. So I just want to go over these a little bit, see if you guys were ever in these phases. We're essentially the same. We are the same age. So I just want to go over these a little bit, see if you guys were ever in these phases. So we'll skip mine. We're not essentially the same. We are the same age.

Well, he's 44. Yeah, but you're about to be 44. When? December. Yeah, like 7th? 8th. 8th. Wow.

There's a lot of December. When is Brian's birthday? November 3rd. Is that right? Wow. He mentions his birthday on stage. 3rd. Is that right? Wow. He mentions his birthday on stage. If I'm wrong. I really bring that down. Do you have a couple birthdays?

Are you August? You're spring, right? When are you? Is your birthday spring? November 13th. Oh, that's right. My dad's the 12th. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

November 13th. We're good at... My mom's really good at birthdays. Numbers, I think I got a little bit of... We're horrible about it in our family. I think that is a family thing. My mom's birthday is today. Happy birthday.

Happy birthday to my wonderful mom. June 3rd. So I think we're going to have a little dinner tonight very fun happy birthday i love you mom uh maybe some mcdonald's yeah maybe darren trying to talk into it yeah yeah all right so for the 80s when i grew up uh leg warmers we've only talked about men's style but leg warmers were big leg warm warmers? Yeah, for women. Like socks that go up real high? Yeah. So you wore these?

Yeah. Mm-hmm. I wore these to school. Yeah. No, I didn't. They're purely decorative, or are they actually to warm your legs? Because you can just wear pants, right? I think it started off to literally warm your legs, but they just became decorative.

People just- Yeah, but they just became decorative. Yeah, but they still warmed your legs. I'm sure they kept those calves pretty warm. But when would you need your calves warm and your thighs not? I mean, at nighttime, I'd like to keep my calves warm and my thighs. They get a little overheated, I think. And when they start sweating.

Can you imagine? You put them on and just like, your leggings wet. Like I sweat. That's where I sweat. Put Botox in there. Maybe you shouldn't wear thick wool leggings. Yeah. You think that's why they get so hot?

It's hard to tell. Imagine you have to pull them down. She's like, I'm hot. Oh, okay. that's like if you wear uh hat sometimes you can wear a nice like then seinfeld cassandra when he wore the hat you can wear a hat sometimes and you're like it really does bottle up the heat and you can feel oh yeah so warm yeah dude i mean that's 80 of your heat coming out of your head i think i could be moving into a vest phase because of my body.

Because I'm not embarrassed by my arms. A sweater vest? No, no. Oh, good. Have you ever seen your mind, dude? Like a tactical vest? Yeah. I mean, just something bulky, like a construction site vest.

A lot of pockets. Life jacket. Yeah. Like, but you wear a vest and it covers up. You feel better right in here. Yeah. I think I'm also in a phase. I'm getting my stomach out a little bit farther than my chest, and that helps.

That's where a bigger guy looks good. Like Sopranos. And Tony Soprano. What are you talking about? His stomach was so big. Yeah. He looks good without a shirt on because it's just he's so fat. That's what you're going for?

I'm in between right now. At some point. I need to pick a lane and choose. Obviously, to live longer, I should choose the one route. Right, right, right. But I mean, I'm close to, I can feel myself close to being like, all right. Let's just lean in. Let's just lean into it.

And then like, so I just start lifting weights and you just become kind of fat. Barrel chest. Yeah, yeah. Just kind of fat, strong. The thing about that too is that, you know, because like you were saying about Derek, how he tucks his shirt in and he just embraces it and that looks good. It looks great, right? Yeah.

But it's that like everybody wears their weight differently so finding out like oh so if i wear darker pants it kind of hides that and then you know yeah you got to wear um something like every weight has a better fit to it you know like finding out which fit is right for you do you ever wear parachute pants yeah yeah oh yeah i think are you serious yeah i think um that came on right around you know oh my gosh what was like mc hammer yeah and you would actually wear this like just like to wear school you would wear pants like that they weren't like that i mean i mean that looks insane well Well, that was MC Hammer. I wanted something like it

though, I remember. But back then, when something was cool, no one was making it yet. I don't know if I had parachute pants. I thought I remember having pants in a lot of pockets. I had stuff like this. Well, that stuff looks fun. It's like you're skiing. That's the thing. Nowadays, if somebody

barely could find men to take a picture with those pants on. A couple of guys. A lot of guys, actually. I thought it was all women. Just assume. Yeah. I'm sorry. I assumed it was mostly women.

And it's wrong. John Mulaney on the left. It's a ton of men. And that was my bad. Nick, did you ever have a grunge phase yeah he's had all the faces yeah i've gone through them all what about a punk no no what's the one thing if you do that you're just an absolute poser like you can't if you try if you try and dress like with like to me those leather jackets are so hard to like, it's not me. Like, I don't look good wearing.

You don't like anybody look like Green Day. No, no. If it's that's your thing, that's your thing. But like a guy like, like, I don't listen to punk music. I don't. So if I tried to go through that phase, that's like, I mean, every now and again, you see someone that looks cool and you're like, God, I wish I could pull that off. But unfortunately, I don't. That's like a whole different.

But like grunge is just like, oh, so I wore a T-shirt with a flannel, you know, with a pair of jeans. You were in the heart of grunge. So that's right when it was the biggest. Yeah. Yeah. And that was, I mean, we look back at that too. I mean, it was just the simplest outfits. Yeah. You know, but like with Kurt Cobain, it was like he had that, he would wear a cardigan.

Really? Yeah, like you wore a cardigan with jeans and a t-shirt. That was grunge. Okay. Wow. Yeah, yeah. Simple look. Iconic.

Yeah. All right, so the early 2000s, skinny jeans found a resurgence. Resurgence from when? That's a good question. I went in deep on that. You were deep skinny jeans? I went pretty deep. Oh, man, like painted on painted on yeah a friend of mine was

started making them and so then i just was like look how fringy you got i'm about to say just know somebody that yeah it makes they have like a line of jeans that seven jeans bought their like line of dust he's bringing this to the table no not even close no one has a friend that makes jeans and they were i mean they were obscenely tight and i just like look back i remember like i mean if maybe if you type my name in skinny jeans you might even have a picture um but i uh no mostly you with loose jeans yeah there's some older ones but yeah pretty brutal like that jacket right there that I'm wearing with that show, that jacket you can search and the shirt,

the jacket from Love Life or whatever. What is that? Yeah, it's a nice jacket. That was a really expensive, I think, double RL. Now, what is this with you and Anna Kendrick holding hands? It looks like it's just us hanging out, but it's us actually filming something but it was like posted in like us weekly as like oh out on the town yeah

oh really i love me and kendrick just walking over there no one's gonna think it's just us on the town yeah they're gonna be like this is a funny comedy there we go what happened nick soon out on the town what happened to anna kendrick she's hit rock bottom yeah okay says skinny jeans were influenced by bands like fallout boys those are my jeans by the way that that that's sometimes when you go on a show they're like oh what bring in a couple of your own things and we'll see if we like it and i brought those in they're like yeah it's great those are my own boots i don't think they would ask me that no you're bringing anything they go no no no don't think they would ask me that. No. You bring anything, they go, no. Don't even go home.

Unless I'm playing John Fetterman in a TV show. That's pretty good. John Fetterman? I don't know who that is. The senator that wears all those stuff. Oh, yeah.

He's wearing legit the same. That's pretty funny. You could be... He's wearing the car heart right there. I know, but that hoodie... I mean, that... The hat is amazing. Is that fake? That must be fake.

No, it's not how he dresses. He really had that hat on. That's very funny. He just shows up to... Look look at him walking around like real buildings. Just dressed like me. That's a real building? I wore that going to Dollar General yesterday. You see him walk in, you're like, oh, my God, January 6th is happening again.

No, no, no, that guy's supposed to be here. He's a sender. They don't know what's going on. He walked out with them. That's that goatee that's so strong. It's just the chin. Not that picture. Yeah, right there.

Yeah, man. He just dresses how he dresses. That's what everybody should be doing. Dressing how they dress. Yeah. That's a size i mean you get hot you're hot all the time you're wearing shorts he's in pennsylvania where it gets it's cold he's always got shorts on whenever i like it's when people travel people that people are like oh i'm going to new york i should bring some walking shoes and you like bring shoes

that you never wear and you're like oh and I should probably have like a sweatshirt, something you never, like whenever I travel, like what did I wear in the last week? I'm bringing those because those are what I would naturally wear. And I used to like pack like, oh, I'm probably going to need this jacket I've never worn before. And then I get there, I'm like, why didn't I just have the clothes I wore yesterday? I'm like, what am i doing here aaron is scrolling through pictures of this guy and i just saw him go like this like he saw a picture he like looked down at his outfit he was like yeah you are you're going for the john federman yeah i got i know nothing else about this guy but i like the way he looks yeah he's got it figured out that's a real american right there yeah

yeah i like it hey he doesn't know everybody yeah is that card heart double car heart underneath is also card heart there you go what does it be well the card heart is like it was a real working man's oh yeah and then i got co-opted by people like me yeah no well the thing was is carhartt had carhartt european which was a fashion brand so like high fashion brand 15 years ago i bought some carhartt in germany that was like i was like how can i get this anywhere and then i go back to america where carhartt's made and you couldn't buy it anywhere. It was like, no, you can only buy workwear here. And then they- Sounds like an old traveled, you're just saying stuff that no one can-

Yeah. Well, then Carhartt became into the society. When I was in Germany, I bought Carhartt. I've been playing pickleball since I was four years old. Well, I'd be walking around wearing a Carhartt jacket, people like, wait, why is that fitted and look cool? It's like, oh, because it's the fashion side of Carhartt. Do you know the fashion capitals? And then you go play pickleball, and they go, what's that sport?

You figure it out. You figure it out. I had heard that Carhartt was faster than Europe, and I was at a Carhartt store, and I saw a shirt that had the Carhartt logo, and then it said FR on it. And I was like, all right, it's like the French. Well, that Carhartt. And then it said FR on it and I was like, alright, it's like the French. Well, that Carhartt and then I bought it and then I found out FR stands for fire

resistant. I thought like the more industrial kind of clothes. I thought I was buying the French. Carhartt whip is what they call it now. Work in progress is their fashion kind of side. Oh, okay.

Carhartt whip. So there's four fashion capitals, okay. Carhartt Whip. So there's four fashion capitals, Nick. Do you know them? Milan. Here we go. Is it Milan? Yeah, it's one. Paris.

Yep. New York. Yep. Huntsville. Was last night. Lebanon. Madrid. London.

Oh, London, yeah. According to who? what does this even mean it's four places where they have a fashion week oh and new york it's on there you said new york yeah new york yep they have uh two fashion weeks a year and i think paris is the biggest one what's the point of fashion though when they wear this stuff that's like no one would ever wear avant garde right it's like art some like the stuff? It's avant-garde, right? It's like art. Like the stuff where they walk out and they're wearing like a box.

Yeah, so those are like – when you see like a line of like somebody's clothes, like this is my spring 2024 line. People buy that. Like it's crazy to think that there are people that will go and buy like this stuff. But then also they have their more public brand. easy to think, but there are people that will go and buy like this, you know, the stuff, but then also they have their more public brand, you know, like every high-end brand has their here, like Burberry, for instance, right? Like if you want to go get a Burberry jacket, they have one that says Burberry in huge letters all over it. That's the cheapest version. The most expensive Burberry jacket is one that you wouldn't even know it was burberry except for the small tag

where it is it doesn't say burberry anywhere it's like that's like this is the high-end version and the low-end version is here's all of our names and like you walk through new york and people are dressed like that people wear something like that that i've never seen that oh yeah you ever been to the met gala no that'd be fun though it like a weird... I don't really know what it is. I think everyone's just dressing weird. I've just seen them outside of it. I don't know what goes on inside.

Is it a fundraiser for the museum? For the Mets? Yeah. They don't need it. Are they good this year? No, but they have all the money in the world. Oh, really?

Why? Because the owner's a billionaire and they have a lot of money. And they're just not using it? They've used it. They just, I don't know. They've had bad luck. So what I read was they do these fashion shows and then some celebrity or influencer maybe likes some of it. And then they start wearing it.

And then enough people take interest then the department stores have a designer and they make a line that the average person can buy yeah they do like for instance you know costco yeah but like you go wear that like where are you gonna like i mean she's going to that event but you don't know what walk around the world like run no no none of this stuff the matt gallus stuff no but like for instance kirkland select right at costco yeah kirkland select vodka is whatever the high-end vodka is that's kettle one it actually is kirkland select is kettle one that they said to kettle one we sell your vodka the most can we sell it with our own brand and half

market down and then you guys will get still get money out of it you're like oh great so that's kirkland select is like that thing and a lot of brands do that where they might partner with a bigger brand and be like we're gonna make the obtainable version of this thing they did have golf balls yeah they made them like pro v1s i think they got sued i think they were pro v1s i think they were pro v1s and they might have got sued though really i don't think because they they proby ones. I think they were proby ones, and they might have got sued, though. Really? I don't think, because they have approval from the people when they do it.

I feel like something, this one, they did it. My grandfather owns Costco. Yeah. So, yeah, that's nice. Is that when y'all were in Germany? You started Costco? I actually am interested in becoming a Costco member. Yeah. I like walking around. They're so fun. I think we're Sams. a Costco member. Yeah.

I like walking around. They're so fun. I think we're Sam's. Yeah, we're Sam's Club. Yeah. Is that the same? Yeah. No, it's the same type of business model.

It's a concept. It's Walmart's. It's Walmart's answer to Costco. A little more blue collar than Costco, I think. Yeah. Like real people in there. Yeah, yeah. Costco is the more popular. That's the one. It's like Target and Walmart, essentially. That's the think. Yeah. Like real people. Costco, yeah. Costco's the more popular.

That's the one. It's like Target and Walmart, essentially. That's the difference. Yeah, Angela Johnson has a joke about buying her clothes now at Costco. Oh, yeah. You get a certain age and you just stop caring. She told me skinny jeans are out. And Dusty said the same thing.

Yeah, they are. No, I think. Well, right now, what's in with with like it's like baggier everything you know like they're kind of going back into that 90s like baggier jean phase what's never going to be out is just well-fitted clothes that's the thing like it's at some point you just need to start shooting for that what's something that's classic that's just not going to go out this outfit will never go out i beg to differ i would argue it never came in you can keep begging all you want

he's on my knees can i differ what are some fashion don'ts um what about the white after uh labor day oh i don't i don't know i don't i do that i don't care i i think the only fashion don'ts are for me it's like hopping onto whatever the newest trend is and like acting like that's your thing yeah it's just it's just it doesn't look good it's obvious like you see it and it's funny enough if someone stays consistent their their thing comes back comes back comes in again but the thing with right now is social media and everything like like the 70s were the 70s right and then the 80s happened and then right at the end of the 80s and the 90s people were like we're having 70s parties dressed like the 70s yeah but now we're literally having dressed like 2021 you know like because of the way

that everything comes out like it's like everything's rotating so fast and the 90s are now what the 70s were to us as kids to them but also the 90s are just a style now that people are adapting i think puka shell necklace yeah rubber bands on your wrist nate nate was a big puka guy i had a i had a big puka shell necklace phase. I was, you know, those, I think, honestly, anything that you wear with pride is going to be fun. Oh, yeah, I love puka shell. I had a few of them.

Bring it back. Balkan 2 somewhere in Sina. That's Nate. That's awesome. Does your body look like that? The inside. Layered down. People say things like, don't wear brown shoes with a black belt.

Right. Again, rules are not rules. For the people that are like, what's the most basic non-offensive thing I can do and do well and not worry about it? Then yes, match your shoes to your belt do all of those things but none of that's necessary none of it about white belt white belts can be great yeah all right well on a black jacket i bought a white belt and it just didn't i buy things a lot where

i'm like and i don't know what i was thinking and I gave it away I'm like I just don't why did I think I wanted that I do that way less now I used to do that way more but white belts are I mean it's hard to find the right outfit for a white belt but it's out there yeah if you just try yeah so if somebody wanted to check out your fashion page where would they go well on my page I have on my regular it's me show you fashion which i don't post on as much as i should but i have a good thing going there um but on my um see like wait some of these yeah this woman made me this jacket out of a blanket so i was like yeah i'll post a photo of it why not um and I love that

jacket by the way every time I wear it people are like where how why and it's a woman that lives in Baltimore who I think I tagged there yeah it's a quilt yeah oh yeah and then I recently asked her to make me another one she made me one that's like down to my ankles and it's basically I just have it in the house and I wear it like a blanket oh yeah it's so nice it's it's like wrapping a blanket around me but in here there's like i think i do some like there's me and nate then i do some dog park fashion um at some point down there where you know people are dressing a certain way everywhere they go that's a you know i didn't know what you had on that looked like uh you had a towel on underneath

the something like your towel around your neck um like this guy had a watch on this like i just he had a watch on that just told him the day oh really yeah that's fun that's fun it's only day it was a day watch he said it was pretty great um i saw that guy at the grocery store the other day he's like hey remember me day watch guy oh really yeah how could i forget man yeah how you been doing is stuff taking off for you what day is it yeah yeah you should ask you have the day you don't happen to have the day on you do you yeah sometimes you don't know the day maybe the day is more important than the time yeah you know ultimately it is ultimately it is. Yeah. Yeah. And I, I just started to design shirts cause I was like,

I don't want to make merch that has like a joke on it, but I will make some shirts that I think are cool and sell those. Why not? So like, uh, this one with the lawn chair. Yeah. I like watching Nate kind of soak in some of the things that I've done where

it's like, and okay, so this is a, I guess you drew a lawn chair and somehow made shirts out of it. And that's cool. And we got to go support it. Nate buys eight of them. That's a fun thing. I'm happy to be doing it.

I like the hoodie. Yeah, the hoodie's cool. Yeah. Yeah. All right. First sale. I think we're good. First sale. All right all right yeah go buy it
