Today's episode of the Nate Land podcast is brought to you by Rocket Money, Built, ButcherBox, and ZocDoc. Hello folks and hey bear, welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Barguzzi, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, and hey, Bear. Welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. I'm Nate Bargetzi. Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slick. All right. There it is. What's up, everybody? Good to see you.

Yeah, good to see you. I was gone last week, right? Yes. Yes, you were. Yeah. On the father's episode, like you were an absent father to us. And people that listen to this podcast often say you're our dad. They'll go, it gets really crazy when Nate's not there. It's like when the dad's away, the kids go wild.

And I'm like, we're all grown men. Some of us more than others. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I hope everybody had a good Father's Day. I had a wonderful U.S. Open to watch. Oh, yeah, it was great. Yeah, I like Bryson DeChambeau.

Congrats to him. I did a John Crist in cinema. Congrats. Oh, wow. Yeah. And how did you get a response? I don't know. I have not.

He's got a lot going on right now. I doubt it. I don't know. I mean, it was like when I sent it. It is. It's funny. As a dude, I don't even know why you want to send it, but you do. You wanted it to go.

It was like, I don't know, man. It's like you could just tell. It's like this dude grinded it out. It was like, I don't know, man. It's like he, you could just tell. It's like this dude grinded it out. And I mean, it was just an unbelievable. What have you guys met?

No. What a last name. No, I don't know if he would know me at all. Okay. But it's truly like John Chris. It was really like John Chris. D Shambo. That's a strong name. Yeah, it's nice.

Yeah. Yeah. But we're seeing, I don't know. Yeah. What happened? Oh, yeah. Matt Croy. What are you saying?

John Chris just reaches out to people randomly? Yeah. He sent it. We did an old thing. He sent a message to Harris Buckker. Buckker. Buckker. He'll DM an athlete.

Harris. Oh, yeah. Harris. Tough miss. Yeah. After a game. Yeah. Yeah.

Just like the idea that you send a message to someone that you don't know. I did that to Brad Paisley. He didn't respond. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How long ago? He knows you now.

Right after we talked and hung out. Oh, really? Oh, really? Yeah. Just saying. Well, he said, let me know if I can do anything for you. So I found something. He regretted that.

I think, yeah. I can see that with you. I think you are. I found something. I was like,. Yeah. I can see that with you. I think you are. I found something. I was like, I do have something you can do. I think most of you say that you don't. You're like, obviously, there's nothing I want to do for you. Right.

But I was like, you did say it. So there was no reason for you to say it. But you did. And so I have something. Yeah. That's why you got to be careful. I don't think I try to say it because most people are going to. I would read the vibe with you, though, and go,

if I say this, this dude will – Yeah. He'll need something next week. And you all should read that vibe. How quick did you – Like next day, I was like – Yeah. Do you remember what he wanted him to do?

Well, yeah. I mean, I just – Well, I was like, you know what? You got a lot of followers. And I got a special out there. It's doing well. It's family friendly. I got country music jokes.

If you just share it with your people, that'd be great. Is this right after we did that show with him at Zany's? No, I just did another one with him recently. Oh, okay. And he didn't remember. So you met him twice. He didn't remember me from when me and him. He didn't?

Yeah. And I'm like, come on. You could not like me. That's fine. But if you forgot me, it's like you weren't even. Well, he does work with a lot of guys that look like you. I guess that's true. That is true.

You look like Alabama. Like every roadie that's ever worked. The baseball player. That is true. I'll give him that. I'll give him that. Yeah. But that's a testament to him how nice he is in person that you think

oh maybe i should hit him up you know he is a nice guy yeah but yeah but i've done his you know i did his charity i put up a stand-up clip about the band creed and scott stapp shared it on instagram and commented so i was like oh dude i'm going to see creed in august where where here at the ascend amphitheater in nashville i think i want to go so i was like oh scott stapp shared my bit i just want to drop it to him i'm gonna be at the show i don't know what that means but i wanted to you know i'll be there so i i i dm'd him and i go man, big fan. Thanks for sharing the clip. Looking forward to the show. And he just liked it.

Yeah. And I go, well, that's the end of that. Yeah. That's the end of it. What did you, yeah, yeah. I don't even know what I expected. But that's more than he should have given me. Who's his agent? Maybe you can look that up.

Maybe have your agent reach out to his agent and be like, hey, my guy wants to say hi to you. Get the suits involved. You wanted him to welcome you with arms wide open. I want to go, yo, come hang backstage, brother. Yeah. With arms wide open. Come back to my own prison back here. There you go.

Yeah. That was my favorite. Yeah, you should come to that show, dude. That's exciting. Yeah. Yeah. If they're, yeah, I will definitely. That was me and Laura's first concert was Creed.

Really? Mm-hmm. What if Nate gets invited back and then they go, no, no, not that other guy. I know Scott. Stapp? Stapp, yeah. Yeah, Scott. I don't know him.

I met him once. We did a thing together. And then I think he golfs. Ironically, he's one of the guys that John mentioned that day that he DM'd. Do you remember that?

Yeah, and I'll be honest i did name drop john chris in that dm i left that part out oh yeah i'm also friends with john chris who speaks very highly of you i thought that would help oh i might follow up with that i also know nate yeah list off all the people you know yeah i think it's funny to say did you say he speaks very highly of you yeah which is true yeah yeah but that's like kind of a weird thing to say i can't accomplish it's yeah it's kind of you take me high yeah you're like uh yeah he speaks very highly of you and you're like it's kind of like i've been famous for 40 years yeah and. And then you, I'm saying, then you go, oh, John Chris, the guy. Again, you guys are all worship to me.

I'm not saying he's thinking this. And I'm saying, because he's probably a nice guy. But in your head, it's a weird, I think that's a weird thing to say. Maybe. Because, you know, it's like, hey, he speaks highly of you. He's like, yeah, you want something from me. Like, what are we trying to do here? This is why you don't bring up cringy moments to your friends

because then they make you feel even more cringe about it. Yeah. Well, that's why you do it. They were like, were you embarrassed about that? Well, let me tell you why you should be. Well, I mean, if we're not doing that, I don't know why we're even in comedy. That's true. That is true.

That's the whole point. I agree. Yeah. I hope everybody realizes and listens to this podcast. I mean, yeah, I'm brutal to everybody on the road.

That's the most, that's the whole point of it. It sounds all mean, but it's like, yeah, but that's how you stay sharp. That is what comedy is. Like my neighbor

had up their Christmas lights for a really long time and we were making videos about it and we decided, we were like, you know what? I don't care that their christmas lights are up but if they're gonna be up we're gonna be making jokes about it yeah you know that's what and that's where it's at how did

they handle that the neighbors i don't know that they even know well regular people is a little different you that's so you're that you you always kind of back off and be like yo that's a regular person like a civilian yeah but they you know we're talking May, the Christmas lights were still up. Yeah. And they had begun to turn them on. I agree. I'm saying you could do it. But I mean, you have a relationship with these people?

Yeah. Okay. I see them out in the yard and I talk to them. And I don't tell them, hey, we've been talking about you on multiple podcasts and making Instagram videos of your of your life yeah yeah but we're friends yeah yeah yeah yeah maybe he doesn't know yeah yeah when you involve uh non-comics because comics can just there it's you know i don't know that's but that's like where i came up from i came up also it's i i think it's probably nicer now than it was when i was starting it was pretty brutal yeah and so it can come off i mean i think you gotta be careful because it can be too much but it used to be all rich voss i remember did one to me

that was very funny he'd always go he's like hey uh do you have my phone number and i was like dude i'm about to get rich voss's phone number. And I was like, no, I don't have it. He goes, good. And walked away. And just walked away. And that was it. Never got his number. Like, I'm going to have it now.

But it wasn't like I got it. Like, he goes, I'm just kidding. He left. And I didn't have it. Because he knew the hierarchy at the time, right? It would have been a big deal for you to have his number. He would do that to me now. But everybody's got to realize, we are brutal with each other. it would have been a big deal for you to have he would do that to me now yeah like i mean but i

mean like but everybody's gotta realize we are brutal with each other but then there's a i i will do anything for any of these people and i i truly love these people and comics i have on the road i'm not i would do whatever they needed like it's just the idea of it is like when we're you're you know the show's supposed to be fun and funny you're like yeah let's just make fun of each other let's just have fun and like you know be good but the joke's got to be good if they're not good then yeah like that's that's how you can tell when the comics is like when the jokes are not you know when they're too they can come off me yeah like and that's someone that doesn't know how to tell a joke, and that could be a comic. That's Brian getting mean real quick. He can get me.

Sometimes Brian will do, he can do one or two that's like fun, and then he just keeps, and then it's like, all right, dude. He starts getting into some real stuff. It's real mean. You go, whoa, whoa, whoa, Brian. You guys can't handle it. I know, can't handle the heat. Stay out the kitchen.

That's a lot of delivery. And he doesn't have that. Look at this show. I saw this happening from afar. How about this? This is a hot show. And the sad part about this picture is the other two comics who were on the show with me all weekend did not make it into this picture. Alec Perrin and Garrett Elzinga.

Well, explain what happened there. You were both in Grand Rapids this weekend. Yeah, we were both there, and we both had 7 o'clock shows. Dusty sold out all weekend. Awesome. Even with the arena show going on across the street, it was hot. We took over Grand Rapids. We took over.

Oh, it's that close, huh? Oh. Across the street, yeah. Across the street. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome.

And so, yeah, it was 7 o'clock. So we both had shows at 7 o'clock. And then when we got done, we all went over to Dusty's show. And then Dusty was nice. He was like, how about everybody go up and do five minutes? I don't think that. You gave Nate five? Yeah.

Well, you let Nate do whatever he wants to do, but Nate was nice and only did about five. He didn't take over the show. Yeah. You don't really put a time on Nate. Sure. I'll give you five if you want. But yeah, I thought it would be fun.

I mean, I thought, what a great show. You buy a ticket to see me and you see Joe Zimmerman, Nick Thune, Mike Vecchione, Steven Rogers, Nate, and then I do an hour. And I was like, what a – and Alec, too. Alec's very funny, and Garrett is very funny. I mean, it was a great weekend. Yeah. Yeah, it was a fun – and it seemed like everybody was excited, too.

We said – we told Steven Rogers to – because it was every like where it's kind of like what's going on and so like you might want to say like hey all the openers from the arena show or his cop came over here so that's why so we're like just say that that's why there's like nine dudes on this we like the idea that there was an illusion that Nate wasn't going to do the show. Right? That's, I like that idea because it gets,

it's like, it gives some anticipation from the audience. Like, ooh, these are Nate's openers. Will Nate be here? But we didn't say,

don't say Nate's not going to be here. You know? And that's what Steven Rogers did. He goes, he's having a great set and he goes,

oh, the openers came over. Nate's not coming. And then it felt like all the air got sucked out of the room. I was like, oh, jeez. It did make it bigger. So when I did come, but it was, yeah. Dusty might not even make it.

That's what we just kept. We kept just joking that Stephen goes, these are the openers. Nate died. But you guys will hear about it in the news in a couple hours. Just extreme. No, it's the best. Stephen's a great comic, great hang. Yeah.

He takes a beating, too. His opening joke really felt like the joke of the night, though, too. His opening joke just really, I don't know if he wants me to do his joke, but he went up and just did a joke. And it was like, it crushed the room. I mean, it was. Yeah. And then a little while later, he sucked all the air out of it. Yeah.

And then that's the Yoders there, you know, Jameson and Eric. Run the room, book the room. Yeah. Yoders had done. Yeah. They booked all ours. Yeah. They've been very helpful to me. Jameson has always comes to my shows. uh eric run the room book the room yeah the yodas are done yeah they booked all ours yeah they've

been very helpful to me and jameson has always comes to my shows he had a he went to nate show first he had a few uh few drinks there and he was loose i've never seen him like that i mean he was fun and it was fine but he was loose yeah it was fun then we went and hung on our at the buses outside i guess smoked cigar yeah yeah and then hang out comics i mean outside. I guess smoked cigar. Yeah. And then hang out with comics. I mean, it's the best. It really is. It's like, yeah, we were in between buses, had chairs out there. It was a fun hang.

And you were safe. Grand Rapids is a little wild out there. Actually, Saturday, my show, some guy apparently was doing donuts at the traffic light and hit one of those metal trash cans. The lid flew off, hit a guy. That guy had to go to the hospital. There was a forensic unit out there. I mean, and I'm in the bathroom, and I can see this going on out there, and then I'm like, well, I better get in there and do some comedy.

Yeah. That murder happened. I didn't hear it. I only found out what happened later but i saw i mean not just because you're at that hotel close by i was in the bathroom of the comedy club oh my looking down what's going on out here and i can just hear people laughing or no no no yeah not uh yeah i actually did uh you do my old bottle method one time during the – I come off the stage, and I'm like, there's nowhere for me to go, and I got to go.

Yeah. And you see doing your green room, which is also attached to their main office. Yes. Yeah. Did you leave the bottle for them? Who knows? Who knows where the bottle is? I brought it here today

yeah we had uh the yeah it was a fun fun weekend and that that you don't you know that kind of stuff you don't always get to do but it was you know we've had it was pretty good did chris saw chris uh john chris now you on the road like it's been it is fun it's fun the road. It is fun. It's fun. Big pickleball. They have a hotel there. The Hilton Hotel has a pickleball on the roof. Oh, that's awesome. We went there and we had a few epic games. No injuries this weekend?

No, everybody was good. Okay. Everybody was good. Fun weekend. Toledo? Toledo. I talked about just Garrett. I mentioned Garrett.

You know, Garrett, I made this joke a couple of times the weekend, but Garrett has been known to yell. He's a house MC at the club. He's been known to yell at the audience. He was like the nicest I've ever seen him. To the crowd. To the crowd. I mean, he's always nice to me.

Yeah, he's always been nice. But he was very nice to the audiences this weekend. I was very happy for him. He really found some inner peace with the Grand Rapids audience. He didn't yell at anybody when I was there either. Dude, I think if you're working those late show Fridays week after week and you're just – I get snapping on somebody eventually. The show's moved up.

They used to be 8 and 1030. Now they're like 7, 15, and 930. So it's like much better. You start a show at 1030 in the big old building, the Bob, where it's like nightclub and just everything going on. Is that what Bob stands for? The big old building? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Jeez. Yeah. They had to put nets in the middle of the, because there's a, you can, it's circular in the middle. So there's three floors or something. There's bars on each floor.

Yeah. Bars on each floor. And they put nets in the middle because someone has fallen over and died. Oh, geez. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. I mean, it was funny over and died oh geez yeah yeah yeah no no i mean that's funny till they died well yeah i think they've had accidents and on purpose yeah i mean

it's yeah and they don't yeah but they don't go should we close the building down they go no no some nets up yeah we're pushing it like an iphone factory likegolf. You just see someone super drunk just in the middle of the night laying on one of those nets. They're like, wake up! They start shaking them. Yeah, I dig it. We went to Toledo. Had an awesome time in Toledo.

This is the Mud Hens, right? Toledo Mud Hens? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We didn't get a go, but we were going to maybe go over there. Yeah, our friend Doug Buckler reached out. That's right. And you had two shows.

We had a three o'clock show. It's just tough. Yeah. Yeah. Three o'clock, because it was like, you know, time you rolled in and all that. And then, yeah, throughout the first pitch of the Buffalo Bisons game.

Yeah, they gave me a jersey. I asked for the extras. A bit redundant there, doesn't it? Buffalo Bisons? Well, it's like the word. Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. Oh, okay. Yeah, we talked about that.

They were all so nice. I got a big, big jersey to cover my well body I have right now. It's just a monster. I love that. No hesitation. You didn't even set up there. You're like, listen, I'm doing this. He wasn't even ready.

Like I said, the pitch was, you know, I think a right-hand batter would have went for it. But it was my tendency when I don't throw. Let me throw a little bit before. But my tendency is I go left. I'll pull left. Even my sounds are when I pull left. So if I do another one, I need to, I have to readjust for that.

It's not an embarrassing pitch, though. No, no. The goal is to be unremembered. Yeah. You don't want anybody to even, you want them to be like, oh, I forgot that he was here. Well, it's nice you don't want anybody to even, you want them to be like, oh, I forgot that he was here. Well, it's nice

that there's a real player catching, not a rooster. Yeah, yeah. That was nice. That was nice. And then me and that guy and then, yeah.

So, Not a rooster? Did you? It's a sounds game. It's a sounds game. It's booster, the rooster catches you. Yeah.

He's got a comically oversized glove and, you know, it's all fun and games. Yeah. I just got up and was like, I'll just do it yeah yeah it's fun it's fun to be on a mound uh and we had a really really great time and then uh you know uh the other ball they were playing worcester worcester which is the b affiliate. And they – Worcester?

Yeah, the game got out of control pretty quick, to be honest. Who was winning? Worcester. Okay. Yeah. Worcester. Is it like the sauce? Is that what the –

Maybe not the shire. Worcester. Worcester. Worcester. Worcester Shire is what I always say it was awesome though they were uh yeah they were they were they were yeah they were all very very nice to us and uh we got to go sit in the owner's suite and watch uh you know a good bit of the game and then uh we kind of headed back over and uh so it was fun that clock says says 1033. Yeah, it was a countdown.

But that looks good. Yeah, yeah. It looks good. But I mean, I can go and tell you, I was not awake at 1033. So that was impossible. Yeah, you get on that bus, you know. I mean, it just, I get trouble. Sometimes falling asleep.

Like, sometimes I can fall asleep quick. Sometimes I almost need to, I need the bus to be started and start moving, and then I'll fall asleep. So, I mean, sometimes you go back there. Because that night before that, I was like, you know what? I'm going to go to bed. I was yawning big, and I'm trying to get better. Like, when you're yawning, just go to bed.

And so it's 1230, and I was like, all right, I'm going to just go. I went in there, cut everything off, tried to lay in bed, and I made it just like wide awake. Yeah. And then I was up until three. Your count sheep, what was that all about? I've never done that. Counting sheep.

I was always told that as a kid. I think about. Your count sheep, Brian? No, when I was preparing for the sleep episode a couple weeks ago, it said count back from 100 by threes. And that'll,

I think just the brain power. Like 197, 94, 90. Okay. One. Yeah. And then it gets a little tricky. Yeah. Then it's 88.

Yeah. I like to think about projects I'd like to do on my land. That is what I think about. I get deep into a project idea. And that gets you to fall asleep? Yeah. Okay.

I think about holes at a golf course. Yeah. I like playing them. Like, I think what I would do, like, all right. And I just try to go through the golf course. Wow. All right. I'm going to try all this stuff.

Sheep is boring. is yeah it is yeah yeah yeah like where are these yeah oh yeah we even got around to um i did dusty show at zany's last week grand old comedy show it's a great show sold out one of the best ones i've had in a long time uh top to bottom lineup. It was a great show. Dusty gave me 10 minutes. It's because I did the last one. But yeah, anyway. He gave me 10.

You did a great job. But you know, we had a guy on the last one that was for a loop. Right, right, right. So you did 10 minutes? Yep. Twice as much as Nate. I'm pointing in front of Nate. Oh, yeah.

I'm not saying I think I'm bad. I'm just saying Dusty apparently thinks. You know what? And you had a cigar Oh, yeah. I'm not saying I think I'm that. I'm just saying Dusty apparently thinks. You know what? And you had a cigar after the show. I did. And you did well. I did not. You didn't.

But Brian did well at it. You know, it was a redemption for him. We're trying to get a proof right now for life insurance, Ruth and I. Well, you only did a little bit of it. And today I had to do it. I feel like is that too late? The insurance company may agree with you. They may be like, dude, the risk or whatever.

Yeah. And so you're calling them, you're on top of the building, about to jump. They're like, sir, what are you? We're not going to fund you now. Out of your mind? Yeah. Well, you may be right.

You may be right. But anyway, they're asking me all these questions about, do you smoke, blah, blah, blah, and you smoke cigars. And I was like, in my mind, I thought, are they going to look through social media and see if I'm – They see this picture. I mean, it looks like you are a captain of the sea. Yes, right. That's right. It's like a man knows what I'm doing. But anyway, I thought I got to tell the truth.

So I'm like, I've had like three in the last 10 years. They're like, when was the last one? I said, this past Tuesday. So if I don't get approved for life insurance. You're like, I'm just getting into it. I think you could go no. Yeah. I could have gone no. I swear, real fast, I just thought getting into it. I think you could go no. Yeah. I could have gone no.

I swear, real fast, I just thought, are they going to see that? Like, do they search and think this guy's lying to me? It's best to be honest. Yeah. I know, but I agree. I would be super honest with all that stuff too. I would lie. Well, then I would think to be honest, and I think the older I get,

the more I always think, yes, I want to be honest. And then I think, does this person care if I'm honest? I don't think they do. And then that's what I do this second, to go like, all right, are you just putting yourself in a weird position? To be like, you're just a number in this game. And so you just go like, you know, I'm not going to. And if you really go like, you don't smoke cigars. You don't. And so you. You really you know I'm not gonna and if you really go like you don't smoke cigars you don't

and so you you really just puff on them anyway yeah you inhale them though right I don't I still don't do it right I'll tell you that

but anyway so I did that I did the lab at Zaney's for the first time nice that's such a great room there's a shrine in there to

especially to Nate and a big giant poster he's such a great room. There's a shrine in there, especially to Nate. And a big giant poster for Dusty. It looks like they died when you walk in there. Yeah, I thought, what happened? But it was a great show. And when you and I talked Saturday, I took a CPR class. Ruth and I took a CPR Ruth and I took a CPR class Saturday

okay and we took one because of the cigar yeah we took one two years ago right when Eleanor was born and we both said I don't remember a thing

from that class so we went and did it again Saturday now was a lot of it muscle memory or was it all brand new for you no we all had a like a little dummy

to practice on you guys are really getting in on the CPR thing though you're like I don't remember anything let's go take it again like what do you my i mean it's just my fear our daughter choking or or something and you want to know what to do um but we all had a dummy and you're supposed to do like you know the 30 beats or whatever and uh i'm doing it and we're we're sitting up front and I notice Ruth standing and I look around. Everyone around me is standing,

but me, I'm just sitting at the table. You're still doing it? No, I mean, they're doing it, but they're all standing and I'm just lazy just sitting there. Yeah, you can't really get force.

Yeah. I'm like, that's when I was kind of like, I did this two years ago. I know what I'm doing. But anyway. So, I did that. Well, I was kind of like, I did this two years ago. I know what I'm doing. But anyway. So I did that. Well, I was in Sunnyvale, California at the Rooster Teeth Feathers.

Three great shows. A lot of people came out. It was very fun. So thank you to everybody that came. Great club. It's a good time. Yeah. And I know that we talked about my whole thing.

But yeah, I was at Dr. Grin's in Grin Rapids. Great. I've been going there for years. It's very fun. Yeah. I opened for you there once i think i think i did did you yeah yeah i'm pretty sure i was trying to remember all the times that i'd been there i like it there i'm a big fan of that club yeah what happened to you on the way here oh oh yeah well i went and had coffee and then i was at starbucks and i was backing out and I heard someone, I wasn't paying attention. I was just backing out and I heard someone honk and then I hit him and I was like, oh, geez, in my truck. And I got out and it was a younger girl. And I go, I just go, I'm sorry about that. And then she's talking and we're talking and I'm not even really looking at her car, but it looks fairly beat up on the fender. And I just like, ah, here we go again.

I haven't done this in a long time, but I've been through this. You're sober this time. Yeah, I've been through this many times, but it has been a long time. And she goes, she's pretty young, probably in her 20s. And she goes, you know what? Don't even worry about it. She goes, I'm already having a rough day. She goes, she points to her window where she has a bag on the window.

And she goes, somebody already broke into my car. She goes, I'm already having a rough day. It doesn't matter. And I go, oh, gosh. I go, well, I'm so sorry about that. And I go, let me do this. And I just took my wallet and I just gave her the cash that was in my wallet. I was like, just take this. And it was not a ton of money.

Eight bucks. No, it was significant, but not a ton of money. But it was like, I was just like, you know what, what she's doing for me right now by letting me go is saving me money on insurance. And time and just, and I just was like, I had a, had like the regular money in there. And then I had a little, like an emergency bill in there. And I was like, just, I gave her some money at first. And then I go, you know what, just take this. And then I was like, you know, and she goes, oh no, this is okay. This is okay. And I go, just take this too. I just tried to hook her up because I was like, you just hooked me up.

It's so nice. $78. What's your emergency bill? 20? Well, I probably gave her 250 bucks. All right. That's great. That's great.

Yeah. This is the dream is to hit somebody and they go, what does it matter? Yeah. Right. And I also thought, you know what? She just had her car broken into. This girl is having a rough day. Things are going well for me. And what she just did for me was a real gift. Also a time saver because I texted Laura, your wife, and I go, hey, I just had a

meeting with this guy and I'm on my way, but I'll probably be there right at time. And then the soon as I sent that text, I backed out and hit that girl. And then I go, Oh, and I also just had a fender bender. So, and then I get out and the girl goes, you're good.

Whatever. Who cares? Yeah. But I've also done that for people in the past too. So I felt like that finally just came back around to me. That's karma, man. Yeah. That's good. Yeah good yeah who cares what does it matter anyway what does it matter a lady hit me one time well stuff's going pretty good for me did you say that to her actually my life's

pretty awesome right now working man on netflix yeah you seen it well a lady hit me on the interstate one time driving she pulled into my my lane and hit, and we pulled over, looked at the cars and I was trying to get somewhere. And I go, don't worry. I go, it does. It's fine. It's not that much damage. It doesn't matter. And she goes, all right, good. And then she gets back in the car. We get back in the car. I'm driving on there. And I see the lady come, she's coming flying up behind me. And then she gets beside me and flags me. And I go, all right. So I pull over and she goes, my daughter said that you hit us. And I go, all right. So I pull over and she goes, my daughter said that you hit us. And I go, all right.

Well, I go, I'm letting you go here. I go, so if you want to call the cops, that's fine. But I'm going to tell them that you hit me. And so whatever you want to do, I was like, I'm letting you go here. Yeah. And she goes, okay. And then she got back in and we drove off. Was the daughter in the car? Yeah. And she goes, okay. And then she got back in and we drove off. Was the daughter in the car?

Yeah. And she's grown? I don't know. I think the daughter was a kid. Oh, but you hit, she did hit you. Yeah, I was in the left lane. She was in the right lane. She got over.

I went into the median almost to get away from this lady and she hit my front fender. Wow. And I was like, I don this lady. And she hit my front fender. Wow. And I was like, but I was like, I don't care. It's not that much damage. I'm trying to get somewhere. I was feeling a little sick that day. Yeah.

I was like, just let me get back in the car. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I've had a lot of fender benders.

I mean, I've talked to people out of it before I go, that doesn't really look that bad. I'll give you some money to get it buffed out. I was in a car with my brother once. We hit this woman. She hops out. It was my brother's fault.

He just ran. She gets out of the car and she goes, I'm going to level with you. I ain't got no insurance. I ain't got no license. I got to pick up my kids. And we were like, all right, see ya. She just drove away. Her car was pretty wrecked from it.

But she was like, I can't call somebody. What she probably needs is rocket money. That's right. Most Americans think they spend about $62 per month on subscriptions. Well, they're idiots. The real number is closer to $300. Over 74%

of people have subscriptions they've forgotten about. How closely do you watch your bank statements? I don't have time to constantly check every single charge. I usually just assume everything's fine until something weird pops up. But now we use Rocket Money. It's a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. There's a dashboard there. You can take a look at all your month's spending compared to last month, see your spending habits. They can even help you create a custom budget to keep your spending on track.

Rocket Money has over 5 million users and has saved a total of 500 million in canceled subscriptions, saving members up to $740 a year when using all the app's features. You'd be a moron not to use this. Stop wasting money on things you do not use. Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash nate. That's rocketmoney.com slash nate.

rocketmoney.com slash nate. N-A-T-E. There you go. Let's turn to your comments. Jake Pru Prowl. there you go uh let's turn to your comments jake prue prowl prue jake on the prowl prowl when nate showed up at dusty's show my jaw dropped through all three floors of the bob best show ever and dusty's new set is the best yet all right nate was pretty good too

why would you say that yeah did. Did you put that in there? Brian added that part. Yeah. That sounds like it's got you all over it. Yeah. I mean, I obviously like it. I know. But that's the stuff that you would do, but you never say anything nice ever.

You don't ever privately say anything nice. You only say that. Am I wrong? That looks like you wrote it he's trying to be funny like this is pretty good too this is how i take jake's comment he's like shocked that my set was good and then he was like well of course nate was good so i'm gonna make a joke here pretty good is not a nice trying to be funny yeah but i appreciate this comment because to be honest with you i thought that show i thought we we had just given some people this most amazing show.

And I was looking around for comments about it, and I could not find anyone commenting about it. I'm like, for $25, you got the best show. Yeah, you got a lot of headlines. Yeah. And I could not find any comments about it. I was like, come on, guys. Let's get it together. yeah i don't know it's like yeah so uh you know some of it's like yeah you know it's like it's a mix of like well who do we think we are anyway to think that they should do anything

but then i also think there's a mix of people just take stuff for granted no one cares and you know there's a world where no one appreciates any little thing that they get to see that's kind of out of the ordinary but jake jake thought so yeah jake gets it and then so his jaw dropped through the the big old building yeah i hate that i know that's what it stands for what if he was a guy named yeah he's like and he's like, thank goodness Stephen Rogers said, Nate, definitely not going to be on this show. Yeah, because if not, his jaw wouldn't have dropped. No, no. Chris Hickle.

In the last 15 months, I was introduced to Nate, watched all of his specials, listened to 204 podcasts, and now finally got to see him live in Cedar Rapids. We had to drive five hours each way, but it was worth it. We already had tickets. We already had tickets to see Dusty and St. Paul in November. Now we need Aaron and Breadbasket to come to Minnesota, and all will be right with the world.

All right. There you go. That's fine. How does that make you guys feel to know that they drove to Cedar Rapids to see Nate, but they need you guys? I know. I thought about that. Come to our backyard.

We'll see you. Minneapolis is a big. That's true. They're going to St. Paul. Yeah. Yeah. I was in St. Paul two or three months ago. So.

Yeah. That's okay. Next time I come. Yeah. They don't mention Minneapolis, I don't think, do they? Nah. They're saying to go see Dusty in St. Paul. They need to come to Minnesota.

Well, St. Paul's in Minnesota. Yeah. So. See Rapids. Yeah. That's very nice. Thank you for coming. Yeah.

Thank you. Yeah. I had a lot of people. I did Huntsville, you know, back-to-back weekends. Once me headlining the next Sunday with you. Yeah. I had a lot of people on your show reach out to me and say, hey, we're at the show. We'd love to meet you.

You know, is there any chance we could come backstage and meet you? And I'm like, well, I was here last Sunday. I could have given you a ride home. I'd have come to your house. What they're really saying is maybe we could see Nate while we're back there pretending to talk to you. Well, I love to just make fun of people in the comments. I don't. I'm not mad at anyone. I met a guy. goes man i'm from florida when are you gonna come down

there with nate i go probably never but you know i'm i'm doing a club there he goes all right cool man let me know if you come down there with nate that's fair i think it's like shopping like where you're just kind of like you're like i just kind of want it all together yeah i get it yeah i get it a guy sent me a thing today it was like a it was a whole like movie idea he had written for you and i go i think you meant to send this to nate yeah yeah send it to me too i didn't get it dang well you don't know anything about Hollywood. That's true. That's true. Yeah, there's a lot. Yeah. Lana Hoffman.

Lana or Lana? Lana Hoffman. I think Lana. My husband thinks I'm in love with Dusty and Nate, but lately, I think Aaron's brain makes him pretty hot, too. Aaron will be a great dad. Love these guys so much. Oh. Yeah. be a great dad. Love these guys so much. Oh. Yeah. Thank you, Lena.

That's, I mean. I appreciate that you're not into us for our brains. Yeah. I was not into Brian at all. Oh. Well, yeah. But she thinks your brain, that's good though. Yeah. I'll take that.

She's someone that's not into superficial stuff. Yeah. Rest of you, not so much. But that thinker. Yeah, that's what I mean. It gets a good, you know. Tough to look at, but man. You could wear velvet all day.

George Casanza, wouldn't he wear velvet? Yeah. I could be draped in velvet. You can be whatever you want to be aaron well my wife's like that thankfully she has to be i mean i'm the least manly man there is and she's basically like that woman in that george's girlfriend yeah but not least she is the she's the more kind of driven in that in y'all's relationship as far as like the stuff she did with the white house and the like it's a very high you gotta you know and then you're the you're the

artist you're the yeah yeah i don't think of you as not manly yeah i don't think that either well she's well thank you she's very sweet that she doesn't care that i don't know how to fix things or whatever i don't know how to fix things well whatever. Yeah, but I don't know how to fix things. Well, she's not married to you. Yeah, but I'm saying that's not manly. Like, it's the manly thing is not to fix it. You just don't, you know, you're weak. Alright. I think she

I think she's not threatened. I think if there was a domestic abuse and a cop showed up, I think they would come to you and go, do you want to press charges? I don I think they would come to you and go, do you want to press charges? I don't think they would even kind of think. Exactly.

Yeah. Exactly. That's my point. Yeah. But that's, you're still a man. As a guy that knows how to fix some things though, I do think it is manly to be able to fix it. It is.

I would think that too. Well, anyway, I was trying to share something kind of funny. We had some guys over doing some work at our house, and she was going to the grocery store, and she was like, I'm going to the grocery store. Are you at a Metamucil? You need me to pick up some Metamucil? I mean, all the guys heard it, and I was trying to be a cool dude until then.

And I'm like, that's something you could just share. Yeah, it should be a tap. George Costanza got that orthopedic pillow. Yeah. Orthopedic back pillow. Yeah. What is a metamucil? Just helps you.

It's like fiber. Helps you. Oh. You know. Yeah. You got to be like, don't bring up the metamucil in front of. Now you've already said it on the podcast, but it's like. Well, but it's almost like better here.

Yeah, it is. There's a lot of stuff I'm saying on the podcast that I would like don't bring it up in front of in front of dudes yeah right right yeah like let me be a dude but you know i wish i always think fixing something i don't know how to fix any i always think i could i could figure i could figure something out i laura does do all the handyman that's just the stuff she likes. In my mind, it kind of goes another direction. But I thought about trying to figure out how to fix a car. Then I just can't tell if I care or not. Cars are so complicated now that they don't even want you to be able to do it.

It's all computers, right? Yeah, you need all this equipment to be able to do it. I could use a good mechanic in Nashville, if anybody's listening. That's a mechanic i like to throw that out there i tried to get my ear to the road i tried to get that pitch out there and i feel like there was something going on and it got real jokey and uh or something and so my cry for a good mechanic was lost right now no like episodes several episodes oh yeah okay okay you still look more serious still looking for a good mechanic.

This is more serious. Still looking for a good mechanic. Yeah, but you can still be joking. You got to fix your truck too. Yeah. Well, I think it's okay. My truck held up. I don't, to be honest, that girl's car, I don't even know if I did the damage to it.

Yeah. It had been through some stuff. Like her. Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Anyway, we're having a good time that's good was she happy about the money

I think so yeah I think she was like like I don't even care about getting the car fixed I'm gonna use this money for something yeah

what if you just see her again what if it's staged yeah and you see the same thing so you're waiting outside the Starbucks again to get hit

yeah and then she just as the person backs up, she just goes, it doesn't matter anymore. And you go, oh, I feel so bad. I got to respect the hustle, though. I mean, if she's doing it. Yeah, she was good at it.

Yeah, because she could be charging. A guy like you, though, I don't think, you know, she would take a big gamble to be like, I don't think if you're going to let someone hit you, I don't know if you're going to. Right hit you, I don't know if you're going to. Right. But maybe you look like someone that's like, neither one of us want the government involved.

That could be true. That could be true. You know, it's kind of like, you gotta, you gotta be careful. You can't just go hit. Yeah.

If it's someone, super nice car, that's going to be like, you know, they don't even, we're going to know how to talk to you outside of the system. He looks like he does everything under the table. Yes. Yes. Yes.

They want it all. She nailed it. I mean, if she's got an eye for it, she deserves that money. And if she does, I mean, this girl's very talented. Like, you could be like, you'd be like, you should be hired to do something. Yeah. Yeah.

Brianna Cornett. Brianna. Yeah, probably Brianna. Cornett. Brianna Cornett. Yeah, it feels like a married name. Like Jim Cornett. Yeah, it feels like.

I bet. I have no idea, but I feel like it feels like a married name. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with Bush's Beans on dodgeball. Bush's Beans. When we played growing up, there were different sides, but each player was trying to be the last standing.

And at the end, it was always one winner. Yeah, I don't know what y'all, you and your boy did. Bush's Beans. Yeah. Why, you know, there was always different sides. There was a lot of people that said that.

Why would you even have different sides? Yeah, why would you play with there's a line in the middle that you can't cross? Yeah, here's the thing. The only time we played is raining outside

so we can't go out on the playground. Sure, so you're in the gym. Teachers take us in the gym. Teacher just wants to go smoke or something. Sure. Half of you go over there,

half of you go over here. Nobody's reading the ADA rule book. But I mean, just, I know, but if you, if I told a dog, two dogs, one go this side, one go this side, I think they would probably be like, I bet there's something to do with these sides. Yeah. Why would they make us go stay on these sides? But if you go on, if they say go side to side and then you run like i mean you could

just get hit the person standing there's no reason for sides i mean the only rule was just throw it against the person on the other side of the line of the half court line then there is sides and so if you can't that's what we yeah we played that day oh right yeah but i'm saying there is like she's saying, there's, oh, you know, there were different sides, but each pair is trying to be the last standing. You're trying to be

the last standing on your team and then your team wins. So that your team wins. But if I got knocked out, well, I said that last time. You just said, that means I'm mean. But nobody cared

once you got knocked out if the guy that happened to be on your side was the last man standing. Oh. Interesting. What if the guy that happened to be on your side was the last man standing oh interesting if what if the one side had several people still standing did you then turn on each other or did you just celebrate as a team oh that's a good question yeah yeah you would you would be like the other team won i guess i guess i see what you're saying and like it's just trying to be out of the group who is it's but you mean this side wins versus this side you i guess you are trying to be you

don't want to get hit obviously yeah but then you could also bring people back in i think in some ways but it's uh i kind of see what you're saying but it's almost pretty interesting to like it's this train of thought that how something's presented and some people look at it as a team sport. And then some people look at it as like purely individual. Yeah. And you've never even crossed your mind. We're eight. They're just smoking with the teacher.

But I think if I had lunch with you and Brian, I think I'd be like, okay, I get it. Okay. Like it would be there's a chance yeah all them people don't start you that there's a chance that they're kind of like you know a little bit loners like you know just you know but they and it's not it's not because people are not talking to them it's because they don't even they just assume everybody's they're only out for themselves maybe is that fair right no it's not fair but but i don't know but there's a lot of people that said they were that way i would like to have a nate land dodgeball tournament

there is i am amazed how many games i don't know the rules to or i guess i was more amazed how many you guys did know like when we do like a little Olympics. Set up on the road. Yeah. I'll set up a fun thing in the Olympics where we would go. Yeah. We like, we had one room is like ping pong, foosball, ice, air hockey. And then. You know, like the rules for ping pong, right?

Basically. Yeah. But I mean, that was not basically new, but I still had to ask like, what do you play to? Yeah. Just basic little stuff, that was when I basically knew. But I still had to ask, like, what do you play to? Just little stuff like that. Cornhole, I didn't know, like, I didn't know what you play to. And if you go over, you go back. I didn't know that. Yeah, I would have to.

But there's some stuff I would have to go ask. When you go play, you go, what rules are we? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the system? Yeah. I feel like everybody knew except me, but maybe not. you you when you when you go play you go what what rules are we yeah what's the system yeah i feel like everybody knew except me but maybe not air hockey is the only one that really is just pretty as simple as it is no no i think everybody kind of asked the guard we're playing 11 you got to let it hit you just ask like a couple things there you go like for cornhole i don't know if i've

played not going over but i guess if you can't you you can go over. I don't think I would. I've played like that. Maybe like over 21. You got to go back to 13. I like that. I like that. It's fine. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So I don't, I don't know if I've ever played like that. So that would be, you know, you just ask. Yeah.

Uh, not everybody's out to get you, you know, uh, thanks. Good advice for you. What? You and Brandon, just always, not everybody's out to see trying to get you you know uh that's good advice for you what you and brandon just always not everybody's out to see trying to get you bushes beans yeah yeah derek thomas dusty tooting his own horn by eating organic fruit because it's healthy while smoking cigars full of chemicals well um i wanted

i want to just say i'm not tooting my own horn about eating organic fruit. What I'm saying is that unless you're just eating fruit for taste, which is fine, if you're not eating organic fruit, then you're not really doing anything for yourself. There's no nutritional value. That's my understanding. And I also, as far as I know about cigars, each cigar, every cigar is hand rolled. I don't know that they're so chemical laced. I mean, I'm sure there's some chemicals involved, but I think a cigar is the best form of this type thing where it's all grown, dried, and then hand rolled. I don't know that it's so chemical laced. I don't know.

We hope so. I just, you know, I'm sure there's some chemicals involved in whatever process, but, you know, I'm just saying I'm not tooting my own horn. And I'm also not promoting tobacco as some healthy thing. Sure, sure. thing even when i make jokes about it i am being like the whole my whole joke about cigarettes is like i pretend like they're great while describing them as terrible i mean that's the whole point yeah yeah i've not smoked cigarettes in uh but it's cool 12 years it is cool that you smoke cigars it is uh i'm very cool yeah i'm very cool. Yeah. I'm very cool. But, yeah, I'm not promoting this, and I'm not saying, you know, sometimes I'll eat organic fruit, and then just to keep the health going,

I'll have a cigar. That's right. Yeah, yeah. Chase down that pineapple. I mean, yeah. I mean, obviously, that's not good. Nobody's recommending it for health. Yeah, that's awesome. Maybe for lowering your stress.

Josh McCain. Josh McCain. Darth Vader completely ignores his daughter for three movies. Terrible dad. Well, last week

on the Father's episode, we were looking at some movie characters and good dad or bad dad. So now I was making an argument for Darth being a good dad. He dad. So now I was making an argument for Darth being a good dad. He wanted his son to go

in the family business. Oh. Oh, but like Princess Leia. But he didn't know she was his daughter until the very end. That's true. That's true.

And do we, you know, we only see what they show us. We don't know what was going on behind the scenes. Maybe behind the scenes he was trying to call her. Right. But she wasn't taking his call.

She was too busy for her dad. Yeah. You know, you never know. Yeah. You never know. But he could just pop up in her room on a screen and be like, how's it going? Mm-hmm. Yeah. I don't think he... And when the...

At the end, Empire Strikes Back... Or no, Return of the Jedi, when it's obvious Luke doesn't want to go in the family business, that's when he senses, oh, you have a twin sister I didn't know about. Maybe she'll come join the family business. Right, right. He just wants it a family, just a family organization. It's family first kind of game. Yeah, yeah.

Kyle Cook, no mention of Full House when it comes to dad sitcoms. Yeah, speaking of Full House, I was there this weekend. I went by the full house house which one is it i don't know okay we debated the whole time we were there how do you know where to take the picture it's it's like on google maps you can find it's called the painted ladies uh and what is it just the outside is what they use that's the street and it's right across from a park called the alamo square Park, and it's packed. There's so many people out there just

hanging out. It's a bit of a tourist attraction. I think the Full House house is on sale right now for almost $4 million. Really? That house right there. Yeah, one of them. They all look the same. Where is it? This is in San Francisco. Okay. You ever watch Full House? Yeah. At the beginning,

they just cut to the outside of it and it shows i'm playing in this part i used to watch the show a lot yeah i mean it was good and i think he was a good dad in the show i think there's you know he was kind of a very dirty comic and he would make jokes about like you know the kids on the show so i think uh that's kind of tainted my view of him as a good dad on the sitcom. Well, he was really a sweet, sweet person, and it was just he had like – he had – I mean, dude, he's a sweet, sweet person. Yeah, I mean – And I mean he would say – but he would even when they did the roast of him,

he didn't want them to do jokes about the Mary Kate notion. And I mean, he would like it was he would write a line where he wouldn't say stuff like that. But I mean, it's a true it's a comedian in the fact that that guy's heart is about as sweet of a heart you can have. heart is about as sweet of a heart you can have and it's truly that's where the con that the jokes he's doing it is it is there is no emotion in any of these jokes i think that's that's hard for people i understand no malice there's i mean there's literally there's zero it's like uh and he would be uncomfortable if someone made a joke that was too crazy. But I know what you mean. I definitely know what you mean. There were three dads, not just him.

No. But it's like he's the- Two uncles. Yeah. Oh, there were uncles? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

I know what you mean. Yeah. But I think even Dave Coulier, when you- I don't know. I think all of them, they're real life stuff. We watch them as kids, and then you see all the real life stuff, and then you're like, it's hard to, like, separate it then from the dads and the show.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you don't like the Cosby show anymore, huh? No. And then you see how Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, like, turned out to be, like, you know, just kind of, I don't know, seem very troubled. I don't think they are. I think they're out of the limelight. I think they might be billionaires. Well, for sure they are.

But I mean from their own thing. Yeah. They just disappeared from the limelight. No one even knows where they're... It Takes Two was a great movie. You guys remember that one? I do remember that. And I want to correct it. This house is on sale right now for $6.5 million. I was going to buy it. This house is on sale right now for 6.5 million. Oh,

I was going to buy it. Yeah. If it was just three, four, I think you said, right. Yeah. Yeah.

I think if you asked it, like all the, you could be the one, the way you got to look at it is the way how the, how the people that he's talking about thought about him. Yeah. And they loved him. Yeah.

And, uh, I just mean, uh, yeah, i just mean from a standpoint of uh it just hard it's hard to be like oh he was a great dad when you you know you you know show wise when you see the different personalities well that i mean you don't people to go see him but he was a i mean a truly but i mean being a full house fan and being like oh i want to go see bob saget well that was a problem when he would go see it but it wasn't like you know but it just shows that people can be two things they are like he's sure he's someone that's uh i'm not mad at the guy

no no yeah yeah but he's a perfect example of seeing that someone could be two things yeah his mind for comedy and whatever was was was a lot dirtier than anybody expected. And they were like, oh, I thought you were the sweet guy. You're like, well, he is that sweet person. He is. I mean, he was. I mean, dude, it was just a wonderful. No one ever had.

What's that saying? Speak ill of the dead. Yeah. I'm not saying anything bad about it. I know. No, no. That's an old norm. We had a fun interaction when I did Nashville Squares, but they cut it out.

Yeah, yeah. He's, dude, his heart is, he had a big heart for a lot of people. But I do, yeah, it was, I mean, it took a long time for people to i mean imagine back you know i would understand being very upset but back in the day when he would when he was on full house to be like oh we're gonna go watch and they probably think they're gonna see my act yeah they're gonna see my act and then it's like completely the opposite wild yeah but even when he would be dirty like that he doesn't he wasn't never doing it with like i want you to be uncomfortable like i think he would feel bad to be like i'm sorry that this is just what i think i can only think of like you know

like there's comics that are like oh i'm gonna be mean and dirty and I want you to be uncomfortable. I want to walk people. I want to, yeah, I want to, yeah, like where it's very direct at the audience where it's, and I think that that hurts comedy because then people are scared to go. Oh, yeah. To a show because they're like, well, you're going to just trash me and yell at me and be mean to me. And then where he was, it was like just to the, it it was i don't think he wanted to do that but he did walk a lot because people were just like yeah this is not what i signed up for uh joseph i was the dj for all my kids elementary school dances i played the uncut version of the song

blurred lines because it was a fun song they never had me back i'm with nate i don't hear or comprehend music lyrics as long as it's fun yeah yeah i could you might need to start doing that if you're a dj for elementary school there's a chance djs don't listen to that's true but when it's an elementary school dance yeah yeah that's very funny because there's the the radio version of that song and the real one are like completely different yeah but the music video is just naked people yeah if i remember correctly yeah i don't know anything about it you know the song no that's alan thick's kid i think i remember them talking about it because they did a thing at the with miley cyrus at the uh award ceremony where he was dressed like beetlejuice yeah yeah yeah well speaking of tv

dads that's the son of tv dad alan dick oh yeah growing pretty crazy yeah uh drew hood my grandfather would record tv movies and they get my cousins and me to watch the movies while recording slash copying it to another tape and pause the new recording tape during commercials so that later when he went to watch the one we recorded he went to fast forward we got paid 25 cents a tape i was 12 at the time thought it was a solid deal that is a good deal that's grandfather gets it do you get that aaron what? Yeah, I get it. We used to do that a little bit. Man, that's 25 cents for a two-hour movie.

That's a lot of work. But the time of doing this, 25 cents was a lot more. That was when the VHS was invented. Yeah, maybe he had... Maybe he'd be like, all right, we go do five of these. It's like a dollar and a quarter. You make enough to get a 20 ounce Coke at the store.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. You could get a couple. I remember a 16 ounce Coke for 59 cents and candy for 59 cents. I do remember that. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I think, yeah. For two bucks. I mean, yeah. You could get both. In my life, $5 used to be a lot. Yeah. As two bucks. I mean, in my life, $5 used to be a lot. Yeah. As a kid.

I remember an old episode of Little House on the Prairie. You remember that show, Brian? Yeah. Where the kids were playing football. When is that supposed to take place? The 1800s? Yeah. The kids are playing football, which I don't even know if that's accurate.

I don't think that's a game they were playing at the time. I think I know the episode you're talking about. But they're betting on it. I remember the kid goes, I bet you 25 cents. And the other kid goes, where did you get 25 cents? And I remember laughing and laughing as a kid. I was like, I have almost a dollar on me. And these idiots are fighting over 25 cents.

Do you remember that episode? I don't know if it was the same episode. I remember an episode where they played the other school in football. Yeah. And they had, the other school was big and powerful. And they picked the kid up. It was a blind kid on their team. They had a blind kid?

On the Prairie team. And the last play of the game, the blind kid picked the kid up and threw him over the line to score a touchdown. That's the that's the episode and it ends with laura engel saying history says the first recorded ford pass was blah blah blah but it really happened on little house in the prairie and such and such day wow 25 cents times change times do change uh what is it chris christopher brian what does each of you do for a sound check write off old jokes trying out variations current joke count just say hello folks over and over yeah my sound check is nate nate's the only one doing sound i mean do you do sound check i do a little bit yeah okay do you do a you do it at a club? Not at a club. A club, I can see. I was like, yeah.

Club you to show up and you figure it out. Yeah, I just go, yeah, I do it. And I just kind of walk kind of in the circle and just go, yep, yep. Hello, hello. Yep, yep, yep. Check one, two, one, two. I just say like that. So old jokes?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right off. Yep, yep, yep. Yep, yep. That's actually, man, that's part So old jokes. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Awful. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. That's actually, man, it's part of my act.

Yeah. So I don't want it to be, but there's, I do try to make people laugh with, uh, but it never, almost ever happens. And then I go,

I go, uh, is the light shading my face because of my hat. And then I try to work around that. And then they go, yes. And you go, well,

I'm still wearing it. I go, what about now? And then I'll try to lift it higher. And then they go, yes, and you go, well, I'm still wearing it. Yeah. I go, what about now? And then I try to lift it higher. You know, what's funny on those sound checks is your tour manager, Travis. Yeah. He does. He'll do like Trump impersonation. Pretty good one.

Yeah, he does. Yeah, he's pretty good at impersonation. So he'll do some impersonations and do everything. Yeah, so they do it all more just to – it's usually them, Tony and Travis are getting it dialed in. I ran into Tony out there on the streets. Oh, yeah? Yeah. That's fun.

What streets? Oh, in Grand Rapids. Oh, okay. I meant just here. You know, that's what people always talk about with bands. Because in comedy, our sound check is, I mean, it mean it's i don't know if it's 30 seconds it's i mean now i've had we have a creative audio is does all my stuff and they're great and they've been with me forever so at every place is basically the same now it's the same

guys out with me the arena is just that way yeah but i always did it because i was like i always like doing it because you want to just you just want to hear your voice in the arena so you just maybe the first time's not on the you know just when you first walk out there sometimes it is though yeah but yeah they know it's good but yeah our sound checks are nothing uh jackie webster my best friend's dad just retired as an air marshal. And even though he traveled his whole career, he has zero status on any airline since the tickets are not purchased and the airline gives the seat. He also has hardly any hotel rewards because he often does a flight to a location and won back. Just thought that was an for fact for a tough travel

day that's a hard thing for some reason that wasn't just thought it was an interesting fact for a tough travel for a tough travel day yeah that's i think a lot when there's just too many words that are like tough and fat like it adds like a little a consonance yeah yeah consonance you know what i've been forgetting what that word was i've been thinking about that a lot which how about wheel of fortune pat sajak retired oh yeah how many years brain like 40 yeah didn't he used to work in tv news in nashville or something he was a weatherman it's a weatherman in nashville yeah wow are you there? You know, I don't really remember that, but here's what I do remember. Were you there?

I mean, Brian's having to think about it. It's close. Not that I was working there, but I'm thinking about whether I remember him, which I don't. But I do vaguely remember, I think I've told this on this podcast, he got his own late night talk show for a while. Oh, okay. And his sidekick was Dan Miller, who was the longtime news anchor at Channel 4 here in Nashville. So for a while, Dan Miller left, went to California.

The show short-lived, didn't last very long. And then Dan Miller came back to Nashville. So you think Dan Miller was maybe dragging him down because then he went and got Vanna White and had a very successful show for 40 years. It was a different show then.

Yeah. Yeah. I guess he was doing both shows at the time. I'm going to blame Dan Miller. Who's hosting it now? I don't know if they've announced it.

Yeah. But the show's still going to go on. Vanna White's staying on. Oh, no. I think it's Ryan Seacrest. I think it is too. Is it really? Oh, but Vanna White's

sticking around. Yeah. Who's doing Jeopardy? The guy that won. Yeah. Ken Jennings. Oh, permanently? I think so.

He's been on there a lot. It was a whole thing of who they're going to pick. I feel like I caught a lot of these guys past their prime, dude. Just the way Bob Barker was keeling over by the time I was watching Price is Right. And I thought, I don't get that. I mean, I like him, but he's not. It was just a staple. Pat Sajak's that way too.

I like Pat Sajak because by the time I was old enough to watch Wheel of Fortune, it felt like, dude, this guy does not care about this show anymore. That's what it felt. And that was kind of funny to me. Yeah. Like this guy's been doing it 40 years. It's like he's so bored by it. Yeah.

But Vanna White still wants to do it. I mean, yeah. It's crazy to think you could go you work that for that long and then you're like but i mean i think they want to do it because a it's like there's nothing else to do and like uh when they go shoot these game shows i think i want to say they're done in a couple of weeks. For a whole year almost? I honestly don't know for sure, but I'm almost positive it's like you go hammer them out two weeks

straight, and then you don't work the rest of the year. That would be a hard job to give up because why would you? I mean, you're like, just block these two weeks off, and I mean you're like just block these two weeks off and then if you're Vanna White you go make a nice chuck of money and then you just go

like yeah I do nothing. Just big time vacation. Yeah we're going to do it in February where nothing's going on. What do you think Vanna White's up to? You don't see her in the tabloids though. What do you think she does when she's not working? Well she's 60 something years old. But you never saw her in it. What do you think Vanna White's up to? You don't see her in the tabloids. What do you think she does when she's not working? She's 60-something years old. You never saw her in it. What do you think she's up to?

I think she was probably a long time ago. She was definitely... She dated people and she still looks great. I think she was Miss Georgia USA. I think she was in Playboy magazine. I don't think so. She's on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. she's been here since 1977 she's from north

myrtle beach i i stayed in a hotel in north myrtle beach and they were really letting you know that vanna white's from there really yeah she was a contestant on uh prices are right was she before anybody knew who she was vanna white come on down she owns the yarn brand Vanna's Choice that's where I know her that's where I know her from yeah I was wondering where all that good yarn is

yeah yeah that's cool uh those hands on that and that seam at they've turned a lot of letters them hands have well she hasn't even turned them in at least 20 years has she Those hands on that, on that C-MAT, they've turned a lot of letters.

Them hands have. Well, she hasn't even turned them in at least 20 years, has she? She's touched it now. Oh yeah. Oh, but originally it was a physically turned.

Like turn it. Yeah. Whoa. Okay. Now then you just touch it. No, you just go. Just gas.

Yeah. I mean, there, yeah, it's, it's, there's, it's a job that there's no reason for her to even really be there. Cause you're like, we could do it.

But it is nice that they keep it. Because it's like you do. We used to have a Wheel of Fortune video game on Super Nintendo. Yeah. Super phone. Wow. She's the world's most prolific television clapper. She got a Guinness World Record.

And as of 2013, she clapped an estimated 3.4 million times across the show's 30 seasons, an average of 606 claps per show. Wow. That's pretty cool. Yeah, I've clapped a lot too. You clapped

3.4 million times on television? I don't know. I did Nashville Squares. That's all they showed of me was clapping. Yeah. Yeah. This is a great thing that they keep her there, though. It shows that you know, because

really, out of all the game shows, there's no reason for someone to be touching these things anymore. But it is like, if you, if you got rid of that, you would be like, you just lose the kind of touch of the show. And the show becomes like,

well, who cares? Right. Like, you know, well, didn't she want to host it? And they said,

no. Oh, I don't know. Dang. And then Pat Sajak would touch the numbers. Yeah. Switch roles. Yeah.

Aaron mall, Aaron Mall. Aaron Mall. Has there been a joke you've told that has surprised you on how popular or funny the joke became? Like you believe the joke was good, but they were legitimately surprised at how funny the audience thought it was. Conversely, has there been a joke you felt was really funny but never really took off with audiences? Both, many times. Yeah. felt was really funny but never really took off with audiences both many times yeah yeah

uh what was i trying to think yeah like for nate for you did you think or how soon did you know that like the starbucks stuff would be a thing that so many people cling on when i first said it i didn't think i was like let me just try it and see if anybody's had this experience and then then it did good and it got a big pop so then you're like all right it is good so i think there's any there there has been stuff where uh i have a couple spots like where you know uh i did it on saturday night Night Live. It is in my new act. It will be on my new special. But the Saturday Night Live, when I did reading, is the key to smart, I believe. I don't know if I've – when I came up with that,

I don't know if I know why that's funny. I just – it was funny. I just was like – I'm just saying – I was just saying these words backwards in a funny way. Yeah. But if you were like, if you told me, well, how do you,

why do you think that's funny? I'd be like, I don't know. Uh, you know, it's almost wouldn't do anybody any good to really analyze it. Yeah. It's like,

I'm sure like, cause I'm saying the sentence wrong. Yeah. But it's, yeah, I just said it the way I felt like saying it. And then, and it just would get enough of a – it just fit.

I didn't need it to be a big, giant thing. But, you know, so, yeah, sometimes you do a joke and you're like, yeah, I don't really know. In Michigan, I was saying, I'm always up here in the wintertime. You know, I'm finally up here in the summer, and they say the summers in Michigan are beautiful. But, you know, really, summer's beautiful everywhere. Yeah.

It's a good season. Yeah. Yeah. That was funny. Yeah. And that was going well. But, you know, you're just rambling. You can say that anywhere, too.

Yeah. That's the nice part. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good season. Yeah. That could maybe be its own joke. Yeah.

Boom. I love an ad read. You're good at it. You're good at it. You're getting good at it. All right. Special deal. This week.

For special people. We could talk a little bit about dreams. Dreams like aspirations? Dreams like goals? Or dreams like actual dreams? Well, we can talk about whatever you want. Or the song by Fleetwood Mac. Yeah.

Yeah. That's also accurate. I was thinking about what happens while you're asleep. There you go. But we'll go. There you go. But we'll go whatever direction you want. Have you guys ever had like a recurring dream or a dream like that still sticks with you for whatever reason? Yes.

I had a recurring dream when I was a kid that I was in my family minivan and somebody put us in a microwave. We were small and got put in a microwave. And then I woke up. Did you watch Honey, I Shrunk the Kids? Did that happen? No, but I mean, they got shrunk. They got shrunk. So maybe that's where just that concept came from. But I remember.

We know where microwave came from. Yeah. Yeah. We got that piece of the puzzle. We've solved this. We got to the bottom of it. There it is. It was that easy.

It was pretty easy. You probably didn't think about that your whole life. Wait, what happened? Did you? It was like as soon as the microwave started i'd wake up you'd have that joke it was just terrifying uh dream what did i say joke you had that dream over and over again yeah i mean over and over again as maybe yeah nine or ten times as a kid and i remember it was real scary but that's the only time i've had a recurring dream i can't i haven't remembered a dream in a long time but i feel like as a kid you really remember the details of it they're a little more vivid

yeah when i waited tables i would have dreams about waiting tables being real busy or real behind and then over the years it's it's less so now but but I've had dreams about selling pesticides and I would have, like I had like 30 stores and the dream would be like, kind of like, oh, I've not been to this store in a long time. I got to get to this store kind of thing. So that kind of reoccurred. Yeah. I think I have like that kind of stuff, like where it's, I have a lot of that where it's like, oh, I got to get to, I got to hurry up and I got to do this. I feel like I get overwhelmed in some dreams. And I'll have it during shows or something.

Maybe not during shows, but I'll have a dream about shows. That's comfortability. That's being comfortable on stage. Fall asleep on stage, dreaming. It's in REM sleep. I'll get them back. Take a little nap. Well, that's the thing.

You have to work on that because you can just get. There is a story about Ralphie May falling asleep on stage at Zany's once. Oh, yeah. Tracy Morgan fell asleep, but he was drinking at Caroline's. Get off. And, like, he's up there, and he's just, like, you know, just starts nodding off. While he's talking?

Oh, yeah, he's talking, and there's three of them. I mean, just feel comfortable on stage. And he's just, like, and all these people have all these tickets, and the people are furious. And, I mean, they start, like, trying. And then someone comes up, they have to grab him. Like, he shouldn't have been on stage. And they have to grab him.

And then he's walking out and he's like, get off! Get off me! And then he just had to pull him backstage. He was furious. And they rescheduled. Yeah, I mean, they, I think they gave him all refunds and blah, blah, blah. But yeah, the Carolines. So you have dreams about

shows going badly or something? Not going badly. Like, I think now I feel like recently i've had some maybe some dreams about not having enough material like new material uh but yeah like feeling over like oh i need to do this over you know i gotta i need to go write this not no shows specific just more of like the overwhelmness of everything you know

I can't think of one I still occasionally have a recurring dream of being in school and I haven't usually it's college I haven't been all semester and now it's time for the finals and I'm trying to like fake my way through it to somehow pass this class so I don't have to take it

it's funny I've had that exact. I've had that exact same. I just thought of that. I've had that exact same thing. You've been done with college forever, right? You still have that dream. What do you think that is? I mean, did you get super stressed out in college? Were you ever like, yeah.

I think it's good we didn't go to college. Yeah. Yeah, I don't even have a memory to have a reoccurring dream about. Yeah. I mean, I looked up some of a memory to have a reoccurring dream about. Yeah. I mean, I looked up some of the most recurring dreams that people have. That's kind of one of them, test taking. And I think it's kind of the same thing maybe as yours. I never dreamed about taking a test.

I know, but I'm saying we wouldn't. Yeah. But our version of that would be pesticides and maybe yeah breathalyzer they say it's just it's stress of not being prepared for something in your life that you feel like okay be prepared for and that's how that's how that's manifested in our lives. It's like a test that means nothing. Yeah. Maybe. I mean,

when I wake up, I'm always so relieved that obviously it was a dream and that makes your life feel doing pretty well. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I will have dreams. Wouldn't it mean that you need to go get something solved?

After eating that? Yeah. I will have dreams.'t it mean that you need to go get something solved after eating that yeah i will have dreams i mean i've had that for years that i'm secretly drinking yeah now i'm not drinking a long time and i'll have dreams that i'm like like unbeknownst to even you you know no but i'm no but you're trying to hide it i'm drinking and and it's just like oh yeah i don't do this a lot i just you know or cigarettes too i've had those kind of dreams where it's like like, oh yeah, I don't do this a lot. I just, you know, or cigarettes too. I've had those kinds of dreams where it's like, yeah, I'm just doing it a little bit, but I'm not, you know, I'm not.

I think I've had a dream that I did drink and I don't think I did it on purpose, but I mean, and I woke up and I, I mean, I was like so disappointed and like just so down. And I mean, I remember thinking thinking that you woke up no i remember thinking of like right when i'm about to like i mean i was just like i cannot believe you did you woke up in the dream well i was like having the dream i and i was and i was and i it was that

i drank and then i'm like i cannot believe i'm drinking and then the dream feels real enough that yeah then you kind of wake up in the dream yeah so then you're kind of up and i and i mean just so disappointed to then finally wake up and then you do have the relief oh wait i didn't do that you're relieved but i was but i'm in it is just like what are you doing like you know you can almost cry because you're like i don't know why how this happened i don't know why I'm doing it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'd almost prefer to have a dream like that where you wake up and you feel so relieved with your life.

I mean, I've had dreams the opposite where there's a loved one that's passed away and you think it's real. And then you wake up and you're like, you're kind of obviously a little sad. But it would be... Sad that they're still there. That's the way you frame that.

Yeah. No, you're, you'd be relieved, relieved, right? No, I'm,

I wake up and I'm sad that it was just a dream and they're not with us. Oh, I thought you said somebody died in a dream and then you woke up and you were sad. Cause I guess I said it wrong. Yeah. No, I think I just heard it wrong.

Hey, you short with them all day. Hey, what? Why are you being so weird to me right now? I had a dream he died last night. I had a dream he died last night. I had to wake up.

I loved it. I get that. Oh, I get that. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I think something has to be solved, though. Wouldn't it be like that thing's not solved? Do problems in your brain. Are you it be like that? Things not solved. Do problems.

Are you talking about back to the test? Yeah. Like if you wake up, like even though you feel relieved, like what if my, if I had that drink thing, it's like, all right,

well it's with food. Like I'm so mad that I'm, I can't stop eating this junk. Yeah. Probably. I've done keto for the past five days. Do we know? Oh really?

Yeah. What's keto? Meat and vegetables? Yeah, no one knows. You just do it. No carbs. Just basically meat. But I felt better.

I think this morning I was 195. I don't feel that. Did you see 200? yeah I did see 200 congratulations you did it I mean it's a mess

a mess 200 is fun well no one knows for sure why we dream necessarily there's a few theories that we're processing information from the previous day. Sigmund Freud thinks. We've got so much to process now. We're constantly taking in with our phones.

I mean, it's like we are almost never at a moment of peace. Yeah. Sorry. You're really not. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. You're really not.

Yeah. And it really helps when you, that's where it is like the, to go sit and have time alone is actually pretty important. Especially now where you never have time alone. Yeah. You actually did have time alone growing up. And now, cause you could just not. The phone is your friend. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. There was no internet. There was no, you couldn't just any, you know, the second you feel bored, be like, all right, well, I don't know what I'm going to do. Yeah. Yeah, you got creative.

You did things. Yeah. He was like, let me go see if Jim's home. Mm-hmm. Let me walk to his house and knock on his door. Mm-hmm. That's crazy. Yeah.

That's crazy to do now. Oh, yeah. You would. Yeah. To knock on somebody's door. And go, hey, are they here? Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I've had some kids do that. Get off my porch. Yeah. For kids, friends in the neighborhood or something. Yeah. But like just this morning, I got a knock on the door and I just look at it. It's just a dude standing out there.

I'm like, I'm not answering that, dude. Yeah, I do that all the time. I'm waiting this out, dude. You still see it occasionally in TV shows because they just the story's not going to advance right if you just call somebody so i was watching some other night set in modern times and they showed up at the door to confront them you're like what that would not happen you're right and that's like a trope in a tv show like that would never watching friday night lights the show and this is yeah you know 2008 2009 kids were texting then they you don't see a single cell phone that whole tv

show they would just go to each other's houses and you're like you're right the show would stink if it was all over text yes seinfeld that's all it was yeah seinfeld would show i mean they would have figured it out but it would have been – yeah, everything would have just not been – everything would have been solved very easily. I just watched the movie The Breakdown with Kurt Russell. Oh, I just ordered that movie. Yeah, that's great. I watched it, but I just ordered the DVD. Yeah.

Is that a new movie? Why did you order the DVD? I'm into DVDs. Yeah. He thinks the government's going to take away our streaming. Oh yeah. Oh, they will,

but maybe not the government, but the, you know, or they're going to, or they're going to stream sensor a lot of it and stuff. Right. 1997, Kurt Russell,

a man searches for his missing wife after his car breaks down in the middle of the desert. Yeah. It's, I mean, that's a good plot. Oh yeah. And it doesn't stop. I mean, it's like, it's a movie that just, good plot oh yeah and it doesn't stop i mean it's like it's a movie that just there's yeah like it just keeps going yeah i do want to watch it i know it's an

older movie but i did just it's great but you like that movie it's it's uh you know like if there's a cell phone the movie can't exist oh yeah and yeah. But with no cell phone, it's just like super fun. I watched a couple of Westerns this weekend. One I watched was Tombstone. So good. I've never seen it. But I also watched,

it's Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp, but I also watched one called Once Upon a Time in the West, which is from the 70s i think it's better i mean i love those old westerns like that it's real uh charles bronson oh sure got a real grittiness to it yeah true grit yeah yeah real grittiness yeah 83 percent around tomatoes that's probably the highest rated movie you've ever mentioned on the podcast yeah hey it's the first one that actually got a

tomato first one that's certified fresh yeah he'll come in and go i saw this movie as a four percent yeah i loved it yeah yeah this one was super but look at this one higher critics than the audience score you usually go the other way you've changed you've changed you become in hollywood look at you siding with the critics and not the people. That's back when the critics were good. Okay. 1997. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah, they've changed since then. Well, the thing is, though, with Rotten Tomatoes, it's not newly shot. So there's a cell phone, actually, and there's a cell phone in this thing, but they have one cell phone and there's no signal because they're in the middle of nowhere, which would be exactly what happened. 1997. Yeah. I graduated high school. So you would have...

My dad had a bag phone in the truck. Yeah, yeah. We had a bag phone. It was in a bag and you had a cord to it, but you could still call wireless. We had a bag phone. A bag phone. And you just keep it in the trunk? Truck.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly like that. You'd keep it like that, and then it would be, and if you ever had to use it, I mean. Cost you $400. Yeah, people, yeah, your parents would shoot you. Oh, it was for emergencies. Yeah, I feel like we used to call it a car phone. Yeah, we did.

Yeah, it was a car phone, but it was, I just remember it was like, do not ever touch this. Like, it was like, don't accidentally touch it. Don't, because it was like, if you had to use it, it's, yeah. I mean, a dollar, it's $5 dollars a minute it's something stupid where you're like yeah um so dreams uh within five minutes of waking half your dreams are gone within 10 minutes it's 90 gone yeah i used to i used for when i was younger i would keep a dream journal just i just wanted to write them down and just so I could remember them. I do have some written down.

I would never bring them in and read. I'm so curious what you were dreaming about as a kid. Well, you know, I'd be, this was like late teens, you know, this was, and I used to write dreams down all the time. I was all about it. A dream, because they say the more you journal your dreams, the more you write them down, then the more you remember. And I was really into dreams. But do you ever do lucid dream? Yeah.

That's one way they think you can help keep training yourself to do it. Because you can train yourself to lucid dream, right? Right. That's what I'm saying. Lucid dream, if people don't know, it's when you realize you're in your dream, you can kind of control your dream. Yeah. Have you done it? Pretty sweet.

If I could do lucid dreams, then I would just want to sleep all the time. Yeah. Well, it's like Ray Romano and Pete Holmes do it. Really? Yeah.

They talked about it before, but they can do it. And Ray Romano can do it where, I mean, I think he has to, almost like that movie Inception, you have to have something that tells you if this is real or not real. Because it's that. Wow, that's terrifying. It's that into it.

Were you about to say you've done it? I remember when I was younger, I'd have a dream and realize in the dream I'm dreaming right now. And then you usually wake up pretty soon after that yeah but um yeah the the goal is to just live in that you'd be able to do that fly around and whatever else you know i've had dreams where i in my dream i thought oh this is a dream but now i'm awake but i'm still dreaming and and don't you know don't realize it. What's that all about, lucid dreaming?

What is it? I think I just described it, didn't I? Why do you think Ray Romano and Pete Holmes are able to do this? You can train yourself to do it. And then I just remember them talking about it you think they got their own

little world going on in there where they they go back you're just in control by me yeah you go in there and it's like i mean you can fly you can do you could you live uh you do whatever you want i don't know if it's like reoccurring but it it'll be, yeah, I don't know, I guess all of it. But I mean, it's so much that you have to, you can have trouble of, I think, telling if you're in a dream or in real life. Like you could have moments where you go, is this a dream or is this happening? Like you could be just, it's like you're looking at us and doing this right now. And then you'd have to like, you'd have to have something to go,

you know, like you'd be like, well, if I had to drop this pin and it didn't hit the table, then I don't know. Yeah, it goes up to the ceiling and you're like, all right, well, I'm going to lose the dream. So now I could.

Kill us. Yeah. Or something. Yeah. Yeah, be wild to get that mixed up. That's for sure. That's why he dropped a pin before he pulled the gun out. There you go.

There you go. It's like him when he finds out a person is alive. He goes. Right, right. Oh. I read where Einstein would. No, not Einstein. Freud?

No, I was about to mention something about Freud. Thomas Jefferson. Bob Seger. Thomas Edison. Okay. All right. That's pretty good. Would come up with a lot of his great inventions while he was dreaming, but he could often not remember them.

So he would hold an object in his hand and sit up in his chair to sleep. And then when he was falling into REM sleep, he would drop the object, which would make him wake up. And then he would write down what he'd been dreaming. That was his way of memory. The dreams. Well,

he thought of a light bulb in a dream. You think like, what about light bulb? But just help, it helped advance some of his inventions. Whoa. I mean, have you ever had a joke in a dream that worked? I've had a – I can't think of one that worked.

I've had a joke in a dream where – I've had that a lot where you go, gosh, I got to remember this. Yeah, I have had that before. Because it's going to be awesome. And then sometimes if you do remember, you're like, this doesn't even make sense. Yeah. Yeah. Even when you first wake up. Some episode like that.

There was some episode like that. Sometimes when you first wake up, you still think it's great. But then as you really wake up, look at it later, then you're like, no, this makes no sense. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Thomas has invented. I thought he only invented the light bulb,

but he did a lot of good stuff. A phonograph I knew. I think he invented tons of stuff, right? Yeah. Motion picture. Yeah. That's actually pretty good. They should mention that a lot more.

It's better, really, than a light bulb. Yeah. I mean, you got to get the light bulb first, I guess, because you need that. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, it's pretty crazy that he's like, yeah, then I made. Look at that. He filed his first patent for the electrographic vote recorder. He vended voting machines.

Okay. So then it all got figured out. Yeah, you want him with him. You're like, I guess everybody was like, ah, now we're letting him do kind of everything. Yeah. You know, like, I mean, no one. You're like, nobody else was trying. He goes, no. Sounds like he was probably just stealing a lot of ideas from people. everything yeah you know like i mean no one you're like nobody else was trying he goes no

sounds like he was probably just stealing a lot of ideas from people yeah i think people do claim that about him he invented the first electric copy machine to create copies of notes it's an electric pen that uh oh my gosh i haven't heard about any of this stuff sounds like people would go over to his house and go hey i invented this thing and he goes oh that's cool um and then he would patent it but you know that's a yeah but it's like it's a slippery slope with that because it is like if you know he's it's people coming with ideas and if you know he's the inventor and saying stuff it's you know it's like people probably going to him and saying all this stuff. And then he actually does it.

That person doesn't do it. So then they go, well, he stole that from you. Like, you know, there's a mix of like, you're like, all right, dude, are you out of your mind? Yeah, that is true. It's like, yeah. You would have invented Facebook. Yeah, you wrote the blueprint.

That's what he says on social network. It's like when they sued him. Yeah. Well, it's like, yeah, you write the blueprints for the light bulb, but then you're like, that person's lazy. And it's like, well, let me go ahead and make the light bulb. This could be big for us. Yeah, and then that guy goes, you stole the light bulb idea from me.

And it's like, yeah, but you were. What were you doing? You were still lighting candles. I mean, get on. He has a patent for something called the Weber meter. What is that all about? Wow. we need to find out yeah the weber meter i mean wow look at that he has over a thousand patents more than anybody else what if you've read this and found out you your whole family was robots are you from thomas edison yeah i'd love it. Yeah. I'd love it. Be the honor of a lifetime. Paul McCartney said he wrote the song Yesterday from a dream.

Yeah. I believe that. I think that's one of the most covered songs ever. I think it's one of the most covered songs. Oh, I thought you were saying he did it. He stole it. No. It's a cover song.

It's a lot of acid-induced stuff. You want to tell us about Zuck Duck? Or were you finally awake? He stole it. Like a cover song. There's a lot of like acid induced stuff. Yeah. Yeah. You want to tell us like, were you really asleep? Or were you finally awake? Yeah. Thanks to ZocDoc, we can now find and book in-person or telemedicine appointments

that's where he's like knocked out or something and he's like in his dream he's a soap opera writer and so in his dream he keeps writing this soap opera but he's like he's writing himself into it so he can write these scenes and he's like making himself real cool but he always forgets to write the end so he like one time he like rides in on a horse and

rescues this girl but then forgets to write the end so as he's riding off on the horse he really can't ride it it's very funny is not describing it well it's very funny i don't know if i followed it i never even heard of it yeah uh what's the dream scenario that's the new one or with nicholas cage i don't even know never heard of that i think it's uh dream scenario yeah you haven't heard of it? I recognize the... It's a man... Everybody... I mean, this is the whole... A family man finds his life turned upside down

when millions of strangers suddenly start seeing him in their dreams. However, when his nighttime appearances take a nightmarish turn, he's forced to navigate the consequences of his newfound stardom. I'm pretty into the premise of that. 91% of Rotten Tomatoes. I mean...

Nick Cage isn't a movie machine. Might watch that tonight. How many movies has this guy been in? He's been pretty prolific lately. He's in a ton of stuff. That Pig movie everybody said was good. I never saw it. Yeah, man.

Other dream movies. There's one obvious one. Franchise that. What dreams may come? Robin Williams. A franchise about dreams. No, I don't know. Harry Potter.

Nightmare on Elm Street. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There's some dream stuff in Harry Potter, too. Yeah. Wizard of Oz. Oh, Wizard of Oz. Is that all a dream. Yeah. There's some dream stuff in Harry Potter, too. Wizard of Oz. Oh, Wizard of Oz. Is that all a dream?

Yeah. Or she was unconscious, I guess. She hit her head, and then all that stuff happened, and she woke up at the end. Imagine seeing that for the first time back then. Blow your mind. I mean. Yeah. Do you guys dream in color or black and white i think color

i don't know yeah because i think it's split by your age no are you serious do you dream in black and white i don't know what i dream in to be honest yeah i don't i don't really see a lot of colors maybe i don't i like that he said it's split by age and you went right for him oh yeah i didn't even know that that was an option. Yeah. Yeah. Do you dream in echolocation? I mean, that's crazy. Black and white.

The percentage of people who dream in color decrease with age. 80% of people under 30 experience color in their dreams. Only 20% of people over 60 do. They think a lot of with the television. If you had a black and white TV

or a color TV. Wow. It made me think of that when you mentioned wizard of oz i don't think i've ever thought about it wow i want you to start keeping a dream journal you know they say if you fall in your dream and land you'll die have you ever heard that no you ever heard that destiny no like if you fall off a cliff or something yeah in your dream i used to have height dreams where I would be up too high. What does that mean?

Well, I was going to joke and say that's true. It's obviously not true, but... Is it obviously not true? Well, I don't even know how you would prove it. Yeah. Someone dies in their sleep,

I guess you could say they had a dream about falling. Oh, like maybe they... But maybe if someone dies in their sleep, they're having a dream that they fall. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I was... Maybe someone, they say he died dies in their sleep, they're having a dream that they fall. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe someone, they say he died peacefully in his sleep.

Really, he fell off a cliff. You're like, it was a nightmare. His mouth was open. Yeah. Oh! He's got a smile on his face, and you're like, dude, he is going through it. What are the death dreams? Isn't there a bunch of death dreams?

If you have... I thought it was like... Falling, being chased. Punching. What about losing your teeth? Teeth falling out. That's a very common one. Is it really?

Yes. It might mean that you're worried about your appearance or interactiveness or you're embarrassed about something that's happened recently. I think I've had a dream where my teeth fill up. Do you got those with any other ones? Any other explanations? What does falling mean?

Why can't you punch in a dream? Getting punched in a dream? Why can't you punch in a dream? Have you ever been in a fight? I lit people up. I can't. I never can lit people up. I can't. No. I never can seem to punch.

I can't punch and I run just like I run in real life. I'm trying to think. The gravity is really heavy. I don't think I have dreams this. Intense? Well, that I can remember them. Yeah. Like where like this, like y'all, like, you know, I would never think,

I don't know if I can not punch in a dream. It just feels like you're not real. It's just like something. Like you maybe are, I know, but if you remember them like this. Do you remember why you were trying to punch in a dream? No, I mean, you know, you're fighting or. Somebody's trying to get you. Yeah.

Oh man, I can't remember. To even think about it. Like, oh, you can't remember to even think about it like oh you can't punch yeah i don't but you remember thinking in the dream i can't punch and i don't know why i can't punch yeah i have to but you never connected oh i'm dreaming that's why i can't punch or you just go man i'm a loser i can't i don't even think that i think i'm a loser i'm just like i can't what is wrong yeah it's like you're in water yeah like uh sometimes like an animal or something and you're just trying to knock them away but you can't which also could be real life that's why i can't tell if i'm dreaming or not yeah that little dog it

feels like you're always punching in water yeah uh being being naked is that one that you've ever had i've never had but that's a common one I think I've had something like that, but never, not, not like I'm a showed up to school naked or whatever. Being naked. Naked. Naked. It's crazy. It may indicate that you feel like a phony, um, or you're trying to hide something. Oh.

Hmm. you're trying to hide something oh so this is like when you're asleep your brain can distill down whatever you're most concerned about and will express it in the dream is that that's the thinking is it an attempt to get you to solve it or is it just your brain's way of trying to process how you're feeling i feel like it's an attempt to like it's kind of like going this is what's on your mind. Yeah. Well, why didn't it let us remember it a little better?

You know what I mean? It doesn't make it easy. Cause they're remembering maybe doesn't matter. It's the, you know, it's like if you, I think if you had the enough of a recurrent, a dream where you're like,

well, I can't remember every detail, but like, so if I, if you had the pesticide and I have the panic of, you know, like me not making a show on time or something where it's me, whatever. It's like, maybe you got like, you got a lot of unsolved stuff that you need to

What if we're all living in some kind of simulation, for instance, and these dreams that I have about selling pesticides, that's me still in this parallel universe. I'm still selling pesticides. And it's that I'm trying to, that side's trying to connect with me to be like, I'm still here. And I'm still in a microwave. Yeah. With my family.

Yeah. Just riding around. Could be. Look kids, big Ben, Parliament. Well, that's kind of like Inception. There were people that would purposely dream all day, and there's like, who's to say what's reality and what's not? Yeah, and there's a line from Harry Potter.

Of course it's happening in your head, but who's to say that doesn't mean it's real? It's not real. Yeah. It's a quote from Dumbledore. Yeah, I mean, like just this whole idea that there are these non-playable characters out here. We're walking around. NPCs. Yeah.

They're just all part of the simulation. They're not real people. We just, we see them and they're, you know. Do you think dreams could ever be premonitions? Like predicting the future? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. There was a.

I don't think always, but I think they can. Yeah. There was a mining disaster, I guess, in England. This is in the 60s. A lot of people died, and then a lot of people said they'd had dreams about it beforehand. So this guy formed – this psychiatrist formed the British Premonition Bureau where people could come and share any dreams like that that they had to see if it could lead to i mean it's like i i definitely think that i i definitely could think that could happen and uh but yeah you would have just whacked i mean i bet that

bureau got some crazy stories yeah it would just be overwhelming to, I bet you then go, it's just not even worth now. Well, that's probably some of these, if you were to do a UFO agent, it would be overrun with that kind of nonsense too. Well, a lot of people think people who were abducted by UFOs, who say they were just having a vivid dream. Okay. Or being visited by demons.

Well, maybe. But they couldn't move their body. They say they couldn't move their body visited by demons well maybe but they couldn't move their body they say they couldn't move their body and it was over them doing stuff it's because they're dreaming

and that's why they can't move do you have anything about or do you look into what the way you just kind of leaned back

and the way you said that was almost like you're like well I think you want some real answers let's move on you sound like you're like any of that stuff about your uh your toe turns black you know what's in there and then because that's what you think it's about to be and he's like yeah yeah that means uh

you died tomorrow so that's what i looked up and he goes he goes oh okay okay well to wrap up the premonition barrel yeah it lasted for a year and a half. They had about a thousand reports. None of them seemed to foretell the future accurately, and it prevented no disasters. And then they closed shop. Have you ever had somebody get a premonition on a flight and have to leave? Apparently, that's common. I've never seen it. Have you seen it?

No, I've never seen it, but I've heard stories about it. I've had stuff like that, but I don't – it's like where you think about something, but then I'll just overly be – you're like, well, I'm just thinking this because that's – I don't – I believe follow your gut. It's like what your gut tells you, and you just do that. And you know when you're like like this is my brain being crazy and but if you were walking onto a flight and you suddenly got a thought this plane's going down i need to get off this plane i think you would i think i'd have that thought joke about but i would convince myself what was the joke you ever looked at people to play like this is like a plane this is a plane that would go down yeah yeah yeah but i you you know i don't know if it's uh you just have trust in i have trust that i'll really know when that really needs to happen yeah and i'll and i'll i'll and you trust that you know god's like i'll put me

in that situation or if he does there's a re you know whatever it is but there's there's a you have to really be like you you know, um, you die. And then God's like, dude, I gave you a strong premonition. Like you, he goes, he goes, I mean, what are you talking about? He goes, uh, there's a guy with a hammer banging on the window. And I go, I don't know. I thought I was like, that's, I thought that's crazy. But he goes, how are you out of your mind?

You made them take off. He did speak through people in dreams in the bible yeah yeah i i always think that you have to kind of trust that you know i do it with every every career decision every everything that you have to go uh you know a lot of it's not out of your it's uh it's all out of my hands you know i well i believe do whatever you think i i it's all out of my hands. Well, I believe. Do whatever you think. It's all out of my hands. I'm just kind of really in tune with going, I think this is where I need to be. This is what I need to be doing. I'll know when to, you know.

That's why I always thought when your career, like you go, you know, I'll know when's enough is enough. And people always tell me, they go, no, no, you don't. People don't. You do. I know I will will i really know i will i'll know when i go that's enough that's enough of this doesn't mean it's enough of maybe i move on to like you know i i yeah i can say i don't think i'm gonna be doing specials for a ton more specials at the level i'm doing it. I kind of have an idea of when I will be done with staying with the, not saying I won't do small things or, you know, I think I love standup.

So I'll do it in as a very joyful way. I love to do it. But like the insanity of what I'm doing now, I can see, I know, I know weirdly enough, dude, every like, yeah, I don't know. I don't talk about it. There's a lot of stuff I've had happen where it's, you know, it's nothing's a surprise to me. Nothing's surprising. It's, I don't think, some of it is,

it's so far that I don't see how I can get there. But I have to trust that that dream, that thing in my head is like i mean i've even started getting scared of these thoughts now because some of it i'm like i don't know if i want to do that and then you just but you just feel like you feel like you're gonna have to do it and you're like i don't you know and it's like i'm nervous about nervous about what pops in my head. Well, just give us one. No? Just go ahead.

Yeah. And we'll decide. No, yeah. Well, no, but they are. They're the ones that I'd be embarrassed to say. And that's where a lot of this stuff comes from. But I'd be embarrassed to tell you that I was going to sell out Bridgestone Arena. I would have never told you that.

And I never told anybody that. And then I did it. And so then once you do it, you're like, well, now I'm super scared of, you know, some of them you're like, you're like, I don't know. You know, I take someone down in this room. I get that a lot. With my hand. With my hands. No.

But it's career stuff. But I've've always thought i've always said i'll know when enough is enough i will know i have to i believe that he will let me know and i will know when i can step aside and go all right this and maybe this part's done maybe the stand-up part is done and i go this i did it i did it as as big as I wanted to do it so now it's more of a you know I just do it when I come up with jokes and I'll go you know whatever it is it won't be on the scale that it was yeah then maybe I'm doing movies and maybe I start making movies and I make there's a there's an overall you know I have a very thought out reason for everything even if one day I have to stop doing this podcast it's's not. I'm making it.

I have a lot of stuff that I'm trying to do to change a lot of things. You're breaking a lot of hearts of the listeners of this podcast with this last part, I think, what you're doing. No, no. I'm not trying to say. I don't know. I can see with this podcast.

I've read a lot of comments when it comes to the podcast. They think I'm going to do it. Yeah. No, no, I think I'm on. Yeah, I think we have a contract. I might have a contract for another year and a half, two years even maybe. I don't know for sure. You're stuck.

Yeah. But I get busy. But I'm just saying. We don't have a contract, though. I'll say that. No. We're disposable. Yeah, I like doing this. I think I'll be home home i won't be on the road as much right so i won't it will be fun to be on this i don't i i don't see this i don't honestly not see this podcast go away

as much as i don't know how much i can be here at some point. But I mean, this is pretty far off. I'm not saying right now, but I can see this being this, you know, it's like we're trying to create a world and I want stuff to be, I want to create entertainment for you that you can go and watch like my, you know, like when you go watch my standup and you can come and not feel heavy and not feel, well, I want to do it in other ways other than just my stand-up. Yeah.

So that's what I'm saying. Right. So I'm not saying, you know, I don't know. I don't even know if I ever see this podcast going away. But it's, you know, maybe if I'm here or not here, like, I don't know. You know, maybe you can't be. Maybe, like, you know, you can't be maybe like you know i think we're i like what it is yeah i think bait's wide open that was very funny yeah yeah

you go but you know you know who will be yeah my calendar's wide open yeah yeah keep it rolling yeah i don't know yeah i'm not trying to don Don't read. Nobody read into this. I don't know. But there's no I'm not. I just, you know, I always think just it's like, you know, I have to trust. So just trust to be like I'm not. Trust me. I don't want to do anything that, you know, I always go back. That's the thing.

I went back Saturday Night Live. My parents were worried. you know, I, you know, I always go back. That's the thing when I told him that God went back Saturday night live, go, my parents were worried. Did I, I didn't do anything to make them upset, you know? And it's like, I always think with this,

just to just trust me, I'm not going to, I think about everybody. I think about, you know, the people that come to the shows. I think that all of them, I want them to be,

I'm trying to make, you know, I doing the best again, not that I can do stuff that approves every single person, but just, you know, it's like, I got to trust that, you know, whatever. We're having a good time. We're having a good time. Yeah. I don't know why that went into that, but.

Well, because you have dreams. I like it. Yeah, because I have dreams. Yeah. That was that, yeah, that was the end of that dream. Yeah. We can wrap it up. Yeah, I mean, we start to realize that you're some sort of uh

you know seer of things now now you kind of revealed that right at the end that you're like uh so yeah you have a real idea and i don't want to sound like i'm a c i don't you know i'm nobody dude but it's uh it's but i just i you know I feel like there's a direction something's going. So I'm just, but I always knew, I always think, I thought from a long time ago, I'll know when enough is enough. I'll know when I go, that's enough. I'm good. Like I did that. And some people don't know that.

They don't know when enough is enough. Because they don't have anything. Nothing's built on something that they can stand on. The rest of us know, but they don't. when enough is enough. But I don't, because they don't have anything. Nothing's built on something that they can stand on. We all, the rest of us know, but they don't. Yeah, yeah. It's like if you have a flimsy house built, you're going to keep adding stuff onto it because it's not what you want. But if you build it and it's sturdy and it's there,

then you go, everything is here. It doesn't mean nothing changes on the inside or blah, blah, whatever. But the general foundation of everything that you have is like this ground is fine. Built on the rocks. Maybe that's it. Yeah. Not on the sand. Yeah.

Yeah. There you go. There you go. So you do that. And so then you can stand there and you can go, that's what helped me to go to Saturday Night Live and be like, I don't feel as uncomfortable. and be like, I don't feel as uncomfortable where if I was younger, I would have been like, they'd be like, well, just say this.
