Hello folks and hey bear dusty sleigh here leading the charge today wow making sure to really sound out those tees for you here with me today is Brian Bates and Aaron Weber. Good to see you guys. Nate is not here. Yeah, he told us last week he wouldn't be here. I don't know how he finished in the golf tournament. Does anybody know? I don't know. Somebody sent an email at some point letting us know how good he was doing. It took me about 15 minutes to find his name on that list. I think middle of the pack is how he ended up ahead Ahead of Charles Barkley, I saw, which is good, which is my benchmark. I just wanted to know. He's only 85 now or something. Charles Barkley used to be a terrible golfer.

He's gotten better, right? Terrible, but yeah, he's gotten better. Terrible. He's got a lot better. I've got much better at golfing. Ernie. Charles Barkley is an Aububurn graduate so i'm a big fan big fan of charles barkley yeah because you ride the fence you refuse to pick you know

a side on the thing that everybody picks a side on in the state of alabama i'm a state of alabama guy i support the state of alabama right so that'd be more of a university alabama lean no no anybody in the state of Alabama that I support. That's how you sell tickets right here, dude. You ride the fence. So the Iron Bowl, you just want a fun game. This is how I always do it. Now, it's like this is the thing for me.

I don't ever say we. When I talk sports, I never say we. I didn't go to either college. So I never say we. So if Alabama has a chance to win the national championship in the Iron Bowl, I pull for Alabama. If it's Auburn, I pull for Auburn. That's how I go.

I want the state of Alabama to bring home a national championship. Now, what if they're both undefeated and they're No. 1 and No. 2 in the country? I can't recall a time when that's happened. Well, I got an answer for that. Yeah. They're both still going to make the playoffs. Oh, now with a 12-team playoff. But even when there's four, I would say most likely.

But there have been in recent memory, there's been Iron Bowls with national championship implications for both teams. I don't recall. Let me ask you this. Well, it's happened. I think there's been years where. The kick six game is a perfect example. Would you ever.

Yeah, maybe so. But to a degree, though, during those times, it is like I almost pull for Auburn a little more because Alabama had so many, you know, that it's like you kind of, you know, you want to see Auburn win. Auburn's the underdog in that matchup. But I don't want to see Auburn win just for the sake of ruining Alabama's season. I hate that sort of stuff. That's how most Auburn fans are, though. I know.

And that's how most Alabama fans are. Yeah. Not Auburn. I know. I don't want to be like that. They used to say if Auburn played Al-Qaeda, you'd pull for Al-Qaeda. I've heard Alabama fans say just that. I'm not that negative kind of guy.

I would like to see Al-Qaeda field a football team. Even though there's a guy in the Nateland podcast Facebook group that says I've been very negative lately. Lately? Yeah. He says I'm negative, but I just live in reality. You're not negative. I just live in reality.'re not you're not negative I just live in reality

that's right yes I want you don't have any other choice yeah I want well there is choices George Jones says I've had choices

since the day that I was born that's pretty profound yeah do you know that song no really good song okay yeah you know it

I do it's one of his later ones yeah but very good yeah alright it's about alcoholism okay I figured Yeah, you know it. I do. It's one of his later ones. Yeah, but very good. Yeah. It's about alcoholism. Okay, I figured. I don't even know what my top three guess is what that song's about.

Yeah, yeah. So anyway, what are we going to talk about? Well, you know, we're here. We're having a good time. We're talking a little bit about Alabama football and riding the fence. And I don't know how we got into talking about Alabama. Well, I know why it's relevant is because right now, within an hour of this podcast being recorded,

the new NCAA football game is coming out. First game in 11 years. It's a pretty big deal. Yeah. I never really liked football games, but I almost want to go buy a gaming system just to play this game. You know how many people in my life I'm trying to convince to do just that? Yeah. I'm texting my brother like, get a console, dude. I almost want to go get one. Yeah,

just to play. My wife won't let me do it, but I could take it on the road with me. Exactly. She doesn't even have to know about it, dude. Just keep it in the car, man. Now, why do you need him to have it? Like your brother? I want to be able to play with it, dude. Just keep it in the car, man. Now, why do you need him to have it, like your brother? I want to be able to play with him, dude. Okay. Yeah. Remotely. Yeah, yeah.

There's this thing called the internet, and you can play against each other no matter where you are in the world. I'm so far behind. I'm just used to playing against the machine. Yeah, put up a satellite on the on the roof of the hotel no yeah you can you can play you can get dynasties started over the internet with other people and play like entire seasons and it's it's it's a lot of fun so that'll be occupying a lot of my time between now and when the baby comes that's for sure that's exciting it. It is exciting. It's very exciting. Well, I had – what were you guys up to this weekend? You want to go last?

It doesn't matter. I just was trying to pitch it to you guys. Mine's pretty quick, I guess. I did one show at Zany's with Dusty. Oh, and I do want to show – What did we do? What show was that? It was an all-star show.

Oh, Zany's Comedy All-Stars. Yeah, it was a hot show. Apparently it meant more to me than Dusty. No, no, it meant do want to show. What do we do? What show is that? It was an all-star show. Oh, Zany's Comedy All-Star. Yeah, it was a hot show. Apparently it meant more to me than Dusty. No, no, it meant a lot to me. I wanted to show. I show up. Let me send you this picture. I show up and Zany's has this up on the screen promoting some of the hot new comics that you might get to see.

That's right, yeah. Coming up here at Zany's. Oh, yeah. And yeah. That seems right. If you're listening, it Zany's. Oh, yeah. And, uh, yeah. Seems right. If you're listening, it's three-fourths of the Nightland podcast. Yeah, maybe because the other four airdropped me a screenshot of a

picture that you took on your phone. Just airdropped me the picture, dude. Well, I don't have the picture. You didn't take the picture? No, I think this is... I mean, that's the picture I took. That's a digital picture. But you airdropped me a screenshot of the picture in your photos folder.

You see what I'm saying? You can just airdrop the picture directly. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to... It's just very funny that you're like, why would they not include me in this list of hip young comedians? Yeah, well, if that's what their criteria is then i am in bad shape no that's very funny brian brian sent us this uh this picture there's plenty of

room for you to hear man and i'm kidding i obviously i uh yeah i'm just joking but it was just but you do have a show now that's uh sold out you've already sold out one yep and uh you know the lab is new so sellouts at the lab are not exactly gimmies right now. People are not selling out. Very few have happened. This is a big deal, and that show was a lot of fun. So maybe that's why they did it, because they know I'm good, and you three

might need a little help. That's right. We need a little bit of a push. I bet that's it. Dusty and Nate don't, obviously, but I would take a little bit of a push. We're going to add you to this. I'm happy to be included. I'll tell you that. Yeah.

How about that? And then what, Brian, you were at the Opry. I have the video of you here. Well, this was from a couple of weeks ago and I was, I was telling you about it in the green room at Zaney's. And, uh, and you said, you gotta get that video. And I did. Uh, so I had my set and at the Opry felt good about it. I say goodnight and I walk off.

And as every time the host, you know, reaches out and shakes your hand. And for whatever reason, this time, Kelly Sutton reaches out her hand and I just hand her the mic and like, here, twits, take care of this for me. And I walk off. Here's the video. And having done that Opry many times, it is so funny to think about you doing that. Yeah. It is so funny. Yeah.

Guys, I'm Brian Bates. Thank you all so much. Enjoy the rest of the show. Thank you. I'm feeling great about myself right here. Here, babe. now in my defense as many people pointed out she did reach out with her left hand which is not your shaking that's true that's true but given the blocking of the stage it only makes sense to do a left well i oh yeah i'm not knocking her no no i did the opry this

weekend and i talked to her about it We laughed about this video quite a bit. Right. And she said she's instructed to reach with her left hand for what you said, so as not to be blocked from the cameras. But she reached out, almost like she was cupping her hand, like, give me that mic. I'm like, all right, there you go. Now, just so everybody understands, there's an entire crew of people

who handled the production of it. They're waiting three feet past the host to be handed the microphone. Kelly didn't give you that microphone. Kelly could not be less involved with Brian's microphone. No, not at all. That's a power move, Brian. I like it. I know.

I mean, look at this. You had a good set. You're dressed really sharply. This is a nice look. I don't know where this jacket came from, but it's a good look. Well, you were with me when I got it, so you should know. Oh, really? It's one of the ones from Purpose Boutique.

Well, it looks really nice. It doesn't. Just look at that, dude. Music playing. I just did the Opry last night, and I faked her. I faked her one of those. Oh, that's fun. That's fun.

Yeah. Now, what happened with you at the Opry recently night and I faked her. I faked her one of those. Oh, that's fun. That's fun. Yeah. Now, what happened with you at the Opry recently? That's my new move now. I heard about how you got brought up. Oh, yeah. Well, that's true. This same Kelly Sutton here, she brought me up, did my intro, read off some credits, old credits. I don't know where that was coming from, but regardless.

And then she goes, he's a public figure. So it really kind of threw me. And this is not just a show in a room. This is live broadcast, live radio all over the world. Yeah. Hundreds of thousands of people listening. I mean,

she's not wrong. I still stand by my defense of public figure, uh, that it's the, you know, nicest way to describe yourself in being put in the public eye. The public eye. I mean, what are we talking about?

These are just funny phrases to hear you say. In the public eye. Dusty, you're so full of yourself. Yeah, I mean, we're putting ourselves out there. That's very funny. Where were you this weekend? I did the Opry all weekend. I did Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at

the Opry. Oh, that's nice. I did a three-night stint. I got to work with Vince Gill, who I've worked with many times before. So I didn't get a picture with him, but it's fun to do the Opry. It's fun to get to know these people. You guys are both tuned out. No, I was pulling up the pictures that you sent me. But yeah, but Vince Gill- I was tuned out. No, I was pulling up the pictures that you sent me. But yeah, but, but, you know, Vince Gill. I was tuned out. Big fan. Yeah, I know you were.

But a big fan of Vince Gill growing up. And so like to do the opera and then like hang out with him and talk to him and have him watch my set. Yeah. It's pretty amazing. He's a very nice guy, but he's pretty intimidating. He's huge, right? He's like 6'9 or something. But so nice. Such a great songwriter yes and then this is colin ray i met colin ray

really big friend of colin ray in the in the 90s and uh uh i'm still a fan of him but i just don't know a lot of his newer stuff but he's great so nice uh and then i met Martina McBride here. Wow. Big Martina McBride fan. It was exciting to meet her. And then this is Don Schlitz. And a lot of people probably don't know who this is. I didn't know who it was either because he's a songwriter. He's not really a performer. But he was going through, he said he was telling the songs that he had written before he performed them.

So he started off with the song The Greatest by Kenny Rogers. And I was like, wow, that's a good song to write. And then he hits, the next song is When You Say Nothing at All by Keith Whitley and Alison Krauss. Great song. Great song. And then he ends with his very first song that he ever cut, The Gambler. Wow. By Kenny Rogers.

And just some other songs that he's wrote. Here is a list. This is just Randy Travis songs. On the other hand, Forever and Ever Amen, Deeper Than the Holler, Heroes and Friends. I mean, that's amazing. Wow. Learning to Live Again by garth brooks

uh rocking with the rhythm of the rain by the judds um he has two grammys and four ass cap country songwriter of the year awards so this is in terms of country music songwriting this is yeah the upper echelon. Old School by John Conley. I mean, it's just like... Forever and Ever, Amen is one of the most iconic songs ever. I mean, I was told that he had like 20, 25 number one hits. 24. 24, according to that. And then 45 top 10 hits.

Amazing. And so I, you know, I went up and I wanted to get a picture with this guy because I was like, this is amazing. This guy is really good. And to hear his versions of those songs are really good too. And,

and I did my joke about Brooks and Dunn, the song, hardworking man, which is a breakdown of that. And both Vince Gill and Don Schlitz, both great songwriters. Yeah, yeah. Really love the joke. So I feel very good about what I got going on.

Yeah. Well, it's good. It's about time. Yeah. Good for you, buddy. You're turning around. You're coming out like we were challenging you. You didn't have a good weekend.

That's what this podcast is. Every week, it's a challenge for you guys. It's a constant challenge. You had a better weekend than us. I feel good about where I'm at, no matter what you podcast is. Every week, it's a challenge for you guys. It's a constant challenge. You had a better weekend than us. I feel good about where I'm at, no matter what you guys say. Yeah. This guy talking about me being negative goes, he says something about conspiracies. He loves to drop a conspiracy and then look around the room to see if anyone supports him.

And it's like, this guy's observing that all wrong. I know no one in here supports the things that I'm saying. The guy's reading it all wrong. And it's like, if you're getting it that wrong, how can we trust anything else? That's right. Yeah. None of your opinions on the podcast matter. Oh, so you've made a conspiracy even about him. Yeah. I mean, this guy, I think his last

name was Leaks. Oh, Leak. WikiLeaks. Leak his brains out of his head that's what i was thinking a short for okay oh that's fun yeah that's fun i was in lake forest illinois about an hour north of chicago an hour away and a lot happens in that hour dude lake forest is nice one of the nicest places i've ever been it's like a little john detoy was with me this weekend said it feels like a little ski town almost okay where all the buildings are nice you know it'll be a walgreens but it'll be the nicest looking walgreens you've ever seen in your life those kind of one of those cities i got there

very excited i saw a huge line of people when and I showed up, and I was like, oh, my gosh, dude. They're all coming to see Aaron Weber tonight at the Gorton Center. It was the train. They were getting ready to get on the train. To get out of there. To get out of town. Aaron Weber's here. Let's go to Chicago for an hour.

But the show was great at the Gorton Center. Very nice people. It was just a fun time they put us in you ever show up at a hotel to a gig and it's so nice you're like this must be a mistake it was like that doesn't happen very often but we pulled up and we were like well this can't be right yeah it was so nice you walk in and they were like do you want us to take your bags up to your room and i always say no yeah i don't want you walk in and they were like do you want us to take your bags up to your room and i always say no yeah i don't want you touching my bags yeah i'll take some free snacks over there they did they had a dude they had to take it back up to the room and get a better set of clothes for you that's right and they had two big tubs of tootsie rolls and uh heath bars underrated candy

bar doesn't get talked about enough. That's the kind of place. It was called the Deer Path Inn. Very nice. Robes in the room. Wow. It was just a very nice weekend. Thank you to everybody who came to the Gorton Center.

I like that. This weekend in Lake Forest. Yeah. All right. Oh, I also want to say this. Yeah. Just in regards to the Opry. We all do the Opry.

It's so great. It's so fun Yeah. Just in regards to the Opry, we all do the Opry. It's so great. It's so fun to even be a part of the Opry. And I was talking to some people that do some of the booking around there, and they got word of our podcast. Are you about to ask me to be a member? That's what it feels like. I'm not a member. Come on in, guys. And they heard us, the podcast with Greg Warren.

Yeah. And now they're uh they're gonna be reaching they're gonna they're working out to get greg warren yeah he told me that that's amazing very exciting very deserving i mean greg should be getting it even without us but the fact that we talked about it we all have a good relationship with the opry we joke about the nate lamb bump but look at us making waves out but it's good i'm very i'm very pumped about it that's awesome doing the opry is really amazing but it's good i'm very i'm very pumped about it that's awesome doing the opry is really amazing though it's like as a lifelong country fan like i went to the opry when i was a little kid so the fact that i get to go there now i'm like buddies with

all the backstage people and and like the director and the and all these people and it's just it's so fun do you have them give you a note as a light? Yeah. I love that. Do you do that too, Brian? I got a note. A piano note. I acknowledged the note this time and they said they don't think anybody's ever acknowledged the note.

Well, how'd you acknowledge it? Well, I told a joke that was questionable and the room got a little quieter and then the note came and i go oh you hear that that's them telling me to wrap it up did i get a laugh oh that's fun yeah uh if you don't know what we're talking about traditionally at a comedy club or even a theater sometimes the the sound booth or the production will give you a light they shine a light at you to let you know you have x amount of time left and there's no real way to do that at the Opry with all the cameras and everything going on. So we've arranged that the piano player behind us will play a high C, I think it is.

I do it with one minute left. I don't know how y'all prefer to do it. But if you ever watch us at the Opry or you're listening and you hear just a rogue piano note, that's them going, all right, it's time to get off. You know, and if you have Sirius XM, you have Willie's Roadhouse, there's a bit of a delay. So you can stay and finish the whole show and then go get in the car and turn on the radio, Willie's Roadhouse, and it'll be about the time your set is playing. Oh, that's cool. So on Saturday, that's right, I got in the car and listened to my set on the way home.

Yeah, how did it sound? Much better. They liked the crowd pretty well. Yeah. I was like, oh, I did pretty well. I'm murdering. I had a pretty good weekend. I posted a clip from the Opry.

I was texting. I was complaining to Dusty about this. I posted a clip of a joke from the Opry where a set where I'm like, this is going really well. And then I posted the clip and there where a set where I'm like, this is going really well. And then I posted the clip and there are so many comments that were like, sorry dude, this deserved more. Or like,

where's the crowd at? And you're like, I guess they just weren't mic grade on that video. But you can tell when a set's going well. Well, with the Opry, it is a deeper laughter. It's a huge room. So you can hear it, but it's like,

if you're just used to hearing comedy club audio where the people are right there, it's a louder, faster laugh. Well, I want to be like, I'm not posting a clip where I'm bombing, dude. Yeah.

I'm getting laughs. I should have amped them up in post a little bit. But anyway. I've had plenty like that. You feel good about it, and then the comments are like, I would have laughed so much harder at that if I were there.

Oh, thank you. And then you're like, we'll start buying tickets to my show. There you go. Come on up and laugh loud. I'd appreciate it. Alright, yeah, please finish that. Well, I was listening to We're Having a Good Time podcast and Dusty... My own personal podcast. Did his own personal ad for Viore

and said he used to wear these Bugle Boy shorts but he'd go to pee and get a little pee on them. Oh, okay. And Dusty... My own personal podcast. Did his own personal ad for Viore and said he used to wear these Bugle Boy shorts, but he'd go to pee and get a little pee on them. Oh, okay. I don't... You don't recognize... That was a callback to your own podcast. Oh, you mean like khakis. Well, yeah.

You said Bugle Boy, but yeah, khakis... I said Bugle Boy? What kind of shorts did you used to wear? Were you more of a duck head kind of guy? Maybe you were a duck... Maybe it was duck head. I don't know. I've peed in a lot of shorts.

It was the brand that threw you off, not the peeing in them. You couldn't remember. Yeah, I don't know, really. I don't remember saying that, but I talk so much. Well, let me ask you then. I talk so much. Do you ever pee in your shorts? Well, I mean, not my shorts.

I don't know. This guy's lived a life out here. Of course he has. Come Well, I mean, not my shorts. I don't know. This guy's lived a life out here. Of course he has. Come on. I mean, I've dried. You know, when I used to drink, I've dried khakis at the hand dryer in a bathroom several times before. I'm like, oh, this guy had a happy hour, got out of hand here. But I'm like, I'll be on a minute

but yeah you know it gets wild out here but the Viore is good I mean they dry quick if you do spill something on it. Moisture wicking.

Yeah. Well, I'm sorry to bring that up. I thought if you said on your own podcast, it was safe to mention. I don't mind. Yeah. All right. I got a lot of pee stories. And thankfully, today's episode is on pee.

Let's get into the comments right here. Where do the comments come from, Dusty? I'll tell you where, but do you want to read them? No. I think people prefer you read them. Okay. Comments come from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Apple

Podcast Reviews, and Nateland at NateBargazzi.com And that's it. That is it. That is it. nateland at natebargatze.com. And that's it. That is it. Yeah. That is it.

You can also hand them to me at a show with a gift. With a gift, though. With a gift. Uh-huh. Oh, somebody, I should say this. Somebody, I wish I could remember her name. She's very nice. I think she drove a long way to the show. She brought me, she DM'd me and said,

there's a gift for you waiting in the green room. room is unbelievable at this gordon center yeah it's huge and i get in there there's a dozen krispy kreme donuts all right waiting in there and john and i are looking at him and i go i don't even want to think about these till after the show dude i had five before the show wow how'd the show go i was struggling at the top and then john made a yo-yo out of one of them he could i'm telling you man yeah he could he could if he wanted to it is pretty amazing i think john has a yo-yo and a holster like a gun and if you go hey could you do a little yo-yo he could pop it i mean it's not even in his pocket it's i know and the string's not even attached to the yo i mean i don't even know how he does he's like spider-man but with a yo-yo

it's like just in there right like toby mcguire spider-man where it's in his hands nate's dad's like that with cards like yeah he'll just pull some out like where was that even at and he'll be doing a card trick for you. Yeah. Or some magic. All right. This comment is Amy Gilden. This has to be right up there with the ant discussion and animal episodes.

I don't know what it is about you guys, but when you get on the topic of anything to do with nature, it gets even more hilarious and ridiculous. And I just love how incredulous Nate and Dusty are whenever they come against any scientific numbers that they think no one can prove. That's true. I think we should all be like that a little bit. Somebody says to you, these shark have 30,000 teeth in a lifetime. You go, well, how do you know that yeah a little healthy skepticism right and i think it the explanation should be should be ready okay but if you're given the explanation do you go okay sometimes i mean are these sharks coming from

space then uh then no but uh uh yeah but i i think she's right though animal episodes are very fun that was a fun episode we do a good animal ep the ant the ant is still my favorite one i think yeah the ants versus humans i gotta go back and recut a different clip of that debate i think i did a bad job there's so much context involved that it was tough to get in a 60 second clip, but I need to go back and recut it because I think that can do well. They should be a whole, like just the ant discussion, even if it's 10 minutes long on YouTube.

Well, we put it in the best of. I put it in the best of. I don't remember how long it was, but I think it was a few minutes. Not 10, but it was a few. Yeah, we'll do that. I think a big clip of that would be great. Adam Rain King. You think that's what it is?

The Rain King. The Reigning King. Reigning King. Yeah. Wow. That's a powerful name. We're an American family living in Prague, Czech Republic. Yeah, he might be a king.

Anytime we go on the road trip, we listen to the podcast to pass time. I love how everyone made fun of Dusty for five minutes for saying he was a public figure. Very funny. However, I totally agree with him. This guy gets it. That is a very tactful way of getting the point across without bragging. Out of all the synonyms you read, that's the only one that really fits the context. This guy gets it. I'm pretty jacked up. I've had a lot of coffee

here. Yeah. I have a hard time reading. My eyes are all over the place. You're doing great. Yeah. But this guy, Adam Reinking, gets it. Okay. Well, he has a Czech Republic, so they probably hear a lot more braggadocious

terms. Do you think that about the czech republic oh yeah the czechs are known for that are they i have no idea but that's what i thought too right is like and i get it this is a comedy podcast it's very funny that you said that but i mean i get i get what you're saying yeah i mean i was just thankful it wasn't me who had said it. Because I don't think I'm famous. Of course. And just saying comedian is not really portraying what I'm trying to say. It's like once you put yourself out there to be looked at by other people, then you invite judgment. Right.

That's the point. But you try to put a term on it. You better be ready. Garen James. Garen. Garen. Both of those are weird names. Garen and James.

It should be Aaron James, which is my first and middle name. Yeah. It sounds like me in disguise. Like the worst disguise ever. I'm not Aaron James. I'm Garen James. Garen James. Y'all need to get some culture on this podcast. This is Aaron.

Oh, geez. Yeah. There are more sports than football and baseball. That uphill sprint between Tajaj Pogacar and Jonas Vinogard at the end of today's Tour de France stage was absolutely insane. All right. Yeah, I'll be sure to look into that right away. I appreciate that, Gary. Can't wait.

I mean, spoiler, I had the Tour de France DVR and I was about to watch it. Well, I apologize to those people that I can't pronounce their names, but they're obviously very good at their sport, so they probably don't care. that I can't pronounce their names, but they're obviously very good at their sport. So they probably don't care. But Garen, James,

you know, I would argue that somewhere in the world, there's people that just like tour de France and soccer. And then there's some guy like us going, talk about football. Right. You know, and it's like, Hey,

you know, football is the best sport ever invented. Hands down. American football, the best sport ever. And baseball's, you know, football is the best sport ever invented. Hands down. American football. The best sport ever. And baseball's, you know, fun to watch. If you got an afternoon to, you know, you want to catch a nap, wake up and still watch some of the game.

Unlike the constant fast-paced action of the Tour de France. Yeah. Yeah. I thought you did a good job reading those names. Yeah, it was better than, was better than we could have done. Sam Yannick. These names are crazy today. Aaron's question.

Is it the Winter Olympics did not receive enough attention and ridicule? It's July, dude. Even if it's technically winter in the Southern Hemisphere, this year's Summer Olympics are in Paris. Plus, have you ever heard i don't know what the the asterix means she's trying to make it bold i don't know i think it's a woman yes i do with this attitude for sure plus have you ever heard of the winter olympics happening in july come on man i can't remember whether i said that as a joke or not i mean looking back

it's ridiculous that i asked i think you were joking yeah but it is winter in the southern hemisphere and if you're i was supposed to know i don't know when the summer olympics are they're in and i also don't know where this summer where that yeah where they are when they are yeah yeah i mean look it's we're i'm a few weeks away from pretending to care about this like I do every four years, and then I'll know all the details then. I think it's hard to care about the Olympics now as an American because it feels like we just kind of import all the best people from around the world and then go, look how great we are. We win gold and everything. But they don't, foreign born players don't play for America's teams in the Olympics. They go back and play for their, like Giannis plays for Greece.

And maybe not foreign born, but it feels like we got a long-term plan. And we're like, we're like, who's the best runner? And we go, Hey, move here. Have some kids in 20 years. You're 20 years, we're going to be dominating. That's the American dream. Yeah. Come on over. We got room.

I think my wife ruined it a little bit for me because my wife is Canadian. Right. And she's like, when we would watch the Olympics growing up, she was like, it was America, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold. And then she's like, Canada would win a silver medal, and this guy would be the talk of the country for years to come. Wow. Whereas in America, we win gold, and we don't even know who it was. Yeah.

But I think the Winter Olympics is a little reverse. Not as drastic, but I bet. How many Olympians, like famous U.S. Olympians can you name? Could you name five of like the last 10 years maybe oh no i mean michael phelps yeah it's a good one um yeah i don't know that simone biles yeah i guess so you named her i mean sean white you remember him no yep sean white right yeah oh he's a skateboarder he's a surf boarder snowboarder yeah and uh and he did x game stuff yeah he's like a skateboarder too guys freak out yeah i mean simone biles is very famous right uh and i guess because she's an

olympian who won gold but it's like uh katie ledecky there you go kat Ledecky I haven't Michael Phelps I haven't watched like when I the 96 gymnast I was about the same age as those girls

that were you know the 96 Carrie Scruggs Carrie Scruggs and Dominique Mucciano the girls won gold

it was big it was heroic and it's like I was about the same age as them I had a huge crush on all the girls on the thing because it was big it was heroic and it's like i was about the same age as them i had a huge crush on all the girls on the thing because it was like i was like oh this is the best dummy muchiano did the freestyle thing where charlie went to charlie daniels devil went down to georgia because in 96 that was made for you 96 olympics were in atlanta it was unbelievable

i celebrated as like these girls were like heroic people, but then you look back and you're like, oh, they were like under the pressure and made to do it, even though they were like, I'm hurt. And they were like, no, you better do it. Whereas Simone Biles, it felt like this year was our last year, whenever it was, was like, I'm not doing well. I'm not going to do this. Yeah. She had the twisties. And I liked that. that yeah which we all get what if it's like the yips the twisties are like i don't know but i assume twisties is like when she what was it when she turned in the air she couldn't vertigo well i can't even if the if

you were moving the table i would be like oh no no i'm dizzy i know i'm like that you had a joke about the other night, Zany's. I was thinking that's me, too. My daughter, if she wants to do a little game where we spin around, I do, too. I'm like, I'm out. I got to sit down. The twisties. She couldn't get her.

You don't remember this? I remember. I never heard the word twisties, though. It's like the yips, though, where you just kind of can't catch it. I forgot what it was. It's where she couldn't get her balance. I can't remember now, but she had to sit out for a while. Alicia Taylor.

We're moving next month, and the old owner of our new home told us about the next door neighbor. He said, just give him your leaves in the fall, and he'll leave you alone. If Dusty owns a home in Boise, we're definitely moving next door to him. Well, I'm not in Boise, but I like this guy. I like that this guy's a little bit irritating, but if you just give him your leaves, he'll leave you alone. But Dusty won't leave you alone. Nah. You'll deal with him every day still. I do have an offer to go to Boise in 2025. I've never been to Idaho. Nice.

Very excited about it. I have no idea when, but at some point in that year. Is there a theater there or there's a new club opening there? Oh, awesome, man. Awesome. Exciting. Very exciting. Matthew Berth.

Apparently, my frequent podcast listening has caused me to start sounding like Dusty, and it's rubbing off on my kids. A few days ago when my wife announced it was time for dessert, all of my kids said, all right. Exactly the same way Dusty says it when he is introduced at the start of each podcast. Well, I think that's good, Matthew. I mean, it sounds like your kids are cool and hip and they're with it and they know how to react to things. That's right. You don't want a bunch of kids going, yay.

You want kids going, all right. You know what I mean? That's what I'm talking about. A friend of mine, also a listener of this podcast, sent me a video the other day of his daughter. He said, he's not been teaching his daughter this but he said he said all right like all right in the kitchen and his daughter three years old goes we're having a good time oh that's amazing yeah that's really cool so i'm changing culture out here his friend was named daughter's name was daisy i was getting her to do all right for a little while. She stopped doing it.

That's fun. Daisy's got her own thing going on. She like, I don't need to be doing what you're doing. I'm going to be doing my own things. Yeah, yeah. Justin Kello. You think that's how it is? Kello?

Yeah. Kello! I am so jacked up. I just did my first open mic and I didn't know it was a one-minute competition. I had to try and condense the five-minute story I had planned down to one. It did not go well. In the early days, if, when, you truly did terrible at an open mic, what was it that kept you going? All right. I don't think we're going to have to reach back too far to answer this question. Oh, there's Kill Tony down to one minute?

Yeah. I would do terrible on that now. I will say, I bet that your five-minute story is not really a five-minute story. Yeah, it's probably a two-minute story. And it can be condensed, and it's probably going to be a better story yeah it's probably and it can be condensed and it's probably gonna be a better story if it's way shorter but what kept me going in the early days i would say honestly i had nothing else going on i mean i had a job i didn't like i wasn't married i didn't have kids comedy was it for me i mean that was my social outing. If I could be funny that night,

then I was cool. And that was, that was what. That's your advice, Justin, destroy the rest of your life. Well, it don't destroy it,

but it is like when people have very happy homes and they have wives that they like, and they want to go home. It's hard to sit in an open mic. Yeah. You know, right. It's like hard to sit in an open mic. Yeah. You know? Right. It's like hard to sit in an open mic room. Like you have a special situation because your wife works at a comedy club.

So she's at the club. And so you can do open mics. But it's like, I see it all the time with people when they have kids and they have a happy home. They're like, what am I going to go sit in an open mic room and listen to the worst comedy i've ever heard or sit at home with my wife who i love yeah and hear her tell the worst story i've ever heard i'm just kidding i'm just kidding i'm just kidding well congrats on doing your first mic justin that's that's the hardest hump to get over yeah and if you'd have known it was one minute you

probably wouldn't have chose that five minute story story. And also, toughen up. You know what I mean? Yeah. Just toughen up and get out there and have some fun. Everybody stinks. Nobody's good. Just know that. Yeah.

None of it matters. And some of these open mics, nobody ever is good. like even like if if uh it's like to some degree you could take the most famous funny comic you know and if you could change their name and disguise them and they just showed up to an open mic with new jokes it's debatable if they would actually think he was funny i think about that sometimes even with like a special where the comic is murdering at the special, I think if you do that set, some of these open mics I go to, I don't know if you're going to even have a good set.

Yeah. Cause it can be tough rooms. Sometimes it's like, it's mostly comics in the room where people aren't paying attention or like something weird happened earlier in the night. Now that's all anybody wants to talk about. So it's just, it's there's wants to talk about so it's just it's there's a lot of variables at play and just so just keep doing it over and over and over and

over again till you know you've lost all your other friends outside of comedy and then that's your whole life yeah that's my advice exactly yeah if you guys had a really like commit to it yeah high pressure showcase in front industry whatever It's going to really make or break your career. What's the amount of time you would want to do? If they said you can do as much or as little time as you want. I'm at a stage now where I feel like I can be more, sounds whatever, I feel more confident doing like a 30-minute set versus like a five minutes. Yeah.

You know what I mean? At this point, I'd say give me an hour and let me do my full set. Yeah, I don't feel that confident yet, but I'm kind of like that. I would say 20 to 30 minutes. I feel much less nervous than five. Right. I can stretch out, take my time through stuff. With five, you pick the wrong jokes.

You can't recover well that's the hard thing about the opry shows even it's like uh the opry is a much different audience than what i'm normally encountering nowadays thankfully it's like my audience is my audience for the most part right but even in a comedy club it's like just a different audience and then i got 13 minutes so i'm like yeah if the opening joke doesn't go well, which it didn't last night. I'm like, all right, now I got to like recover. Oh, on Saturday, I have a couple of old jokes that I do at the beginning of my set of the Opry show because I know it always gets them. Somebody yells, do new material at the Opry.

Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, oh. Who yelled it? Dan Rogers, the president? But the set, you know, I had like my- That's, you're describing my worst nightmare.

Yeah. But it's like, for me, it was like, the rest of my set was new material. Like, it was like, that was what was planned. It was these two jokes that I want to do to get in there and get the, get the audience going. And I had to, I had to really force it.

I had to really stuff it down. I got chills hearing you say that. I was so mad. Did you address it? Yeah. I said, what am I getting heckled at the Opry? Oh,

that's me. And that's all I said. And then I just tucked it deep down in the anger, filled my body. And I just stuffed it way deep down. That's insane, dude. Do new material. Yeah. And it's like the Opry is like the spot for the greatest hits.

Are they yelling at Don Schlitz to do new songs? Exactly. Yeah. You start playing the gambler and they go, play a new song. We've heard this one. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. You start playing the gambler and they go play a new song. Yeah. We've heard this one. Yeah. Wow.

So. Wow. I got me fired up just hearing about it. It was my worst nightmare. I would have thrown the Micah Kelly Sutton after that.

Yeah. And I hope that they found that guy and drug him out back and beat him for a while that's what i hope they do casino yeah yeah drug him out back and put a roll of quarters in a sock and beat him up start ripping his fingernails off yeah it's the dub dusty guy yeah yeah so but fortunately for me my the rest of my set was planned to be new material. There you go. Yeah. Wow.

Yeah. All right. Roxy444. Dusty, I feel you on the leaf blower. My neighbor uses a leaf blower to fluff his grass every single day. Fluff his grass in all caps. Yeah. And it's not a small yard.

It's just on and off all throughout the day. I hate it so much. I respect the dedication to the lawn. Fluffing your grass? I didn't even know that. It sounds like a euphemism. It does, especially with the name Roxy444. I feel you on the leaf blower. What is this guy doing with his leaf blower?

I can't believe that one slipped through me. They're like, Bates won't know what fluffier grass means. But the leaf blower is, it's like, all right, to some degree, I get it. You want to clean off the driveway or whatever, but it's like, it's just so loud. And it's gas powered. So you get fumes out there. I'm trying to enjoy some fresh, clean air. What about an electric leaf blower?

Yeah, mine has a battery. Yeah, mine's a battery operated. Is that okay? That's better. It's louder. Yeah. But it's not hurting the environment. I don't know.

That's better. But it's like, and I don't even care about the environment. I just mean, don't. Clearly. It's just like, I don't want to smell it. Okay. Oh, it's the smell. Yeah.

Not necessarily the noise. Yeah. No, the noise too. Those two things. But if you had to pick, the noise or the smell? I'll take the noise. Okay. Oh, it's the smell. Yeah. Not necessarily the noise. Yeah. No, the noise too. Those two things. But if you had to pick, the noise or the smell? I'll take the noise. Okay. I prefer you sweep.

Get yourself a sweep. You can't sweep the grass, though. But what do you, you're leaf blowing the grass? Yeah, I think if you've got some nice, long, manicured grass, you need to fluff it. Oh, rake it. Yeah, I don't think, I don't think you can fluff with a rake. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think you've ever fluffed your grass you need to fluff it oh rake it yeah i don't think i don't think you can fluff with a rake i don't know i don't know i don't think you've ever fluffed your grass before i don't that's for sure do you mow your grass i do mow it yeah okay yeah i mean i you know right now my

grass looks uh terrible it is so dry so is mine it is so hot and so dry yeah i mean dang it's hot i don't know what i'm doing either i'm just watering it i'm sure if somebody knows about lawns they'd see me just standing out there i'm probably doing everything wrong but you know i think a lot of this journey is just seeing what seeing what works and what doesn't what they say is you want to water the grass early in the morning because if you water it watering plants in the heat of the day forces the plants to work harder to pull in the water so it's worse for them to water midday okay but i do it all the time yeah because i'm like that's when i'm up sure you know i took out a uh not real related but i'm gonna share. Other night, getting ready to go to bed.

We were ready to move on anyway. Yeah. Yeah. I was getting bored of you guys' conversations, so I thought I'd start my own. Yeah. Other night. Is this a lawn care podcast? It's like 1.30 in the morning.

I'm getting ready to go to bed. I'm going to take out this trash in the back before I go to bed. A.M.? Yeah. Okay. Sorry. Yeah. Okay.

Sorry. Spaced Okay. Sorry. Spaced out for a second. And I see a critter. A critter? Moving around near the trash can. It's in the dark. And it looks like a possum. Oh, geez.

It steps out a little bit in the porch light. It's an armadillo. All right. And it like, then scared. And I got a little video of it scurrying off, but it was almost gone by the time I did it. But that's the first time I've seen an armadillo around here. I've only seen them dead on the side of the road. Yeah.

They used to never be here. I know they've migrated here over the last few years. Yeah. But that's the first time I've seen one up close. Kathleen Madigan has a bit about this. How they're migrating north. Oh, really? Yeah.

And I didn't realize that was the case. So we're going to see more and more of them. That's the first time I've seen one up close. Kathleen Madigan has a bit about this, how they're migrating north. Oh, really? Yeah. I didn't realize that was the case. So we're going to see more and more of them. I used to go to Alabama, and I would see them on the side of I-65. All the time, yeah. And then they started coming up I-65 closer and closer to Nashville. They say armadillos are born on the road dead. That was an old street joke.

Armadillo by morning. Matt Sinclair, is there any food besides snack food that is okay to carry, eat on a plane? No. Yeah, I don't care.

As long as it doesn't stink up the whole plane. That's what I think too. But when you fly out of Charlotte, because Charlotte's like church's chicken headquarters, I think it's like the airplane will be filled with fried chicken. And I'm okay with it.

Because you're eating it too. I love fried chicken. I'm a big fan. Yeah. But if you weren't a fan of it, you'd be like, this is ridiculous. Yeah. I think I don't want people eating pork rinds because I think they have a loud smell and then they're real crunchy. Loud smell.

Yeah. And- Rancid sound too. I'm okay with people eating whatever on the plane, to be honest, because I get it. I travel a lot and I get hungry. But don't be messy with it. Don't be a slob. What do you think?

I mean, I'm okay with it. I mean, sometimes you have such a tight connection between flights and that time you get through the line, it's a lot of times I'll be like, I, my plane's already boarding and I can just rush this down really fast or just wait and get on my plane and sit down and enjoy it a little bit. And that's what I do. I like to eat my food on a plane and go, this is good. Ah, and then offer the person next to me a bite with my fork. You want a bite of this? That's what I like to do. You want to take a little bite of this?

Come on. Okay. Katie McMillan. Hello, folks. And hey, shark. That's fun. Yeah. My family was vacationing in South Padre Island, Texas

during the 4th of July, and we were about 50 yards away from the first of four shark attacks that happened that morning. We took a walk down the beach after to see if we could

spot any sharks and ended up finding the shark. I've included my video recording. Here it is. Gosh. Now, right there, it looks like there's two of them, right? Yeah.

There's not. It's just a big shark. It's just one. So that's its dorsal fin and then its tail yeah is that is that dorsal is that what it's called i don't know it's a fin and a tail that's that's crazy i mean that's so close to the shore man because i don't go out far but i would go out that far well that's pretty thank you katie i'm sorry i butchered your comment like that but um they were down south padre texas during the fourthth of July when about 50 yards away

from the first of four shark attacks that happened that morning. That's pretty wild. I thought you were going to read the whole thing again. We took a walk down the beach after to see if we could

spot any sharks and ended up finding the shark. That's crazy. You never know who's listening to our podcast. She said, I didn't put that part in,

but she said a lot of the news outlets started using her video. Whoa. All right. We broke it. We broke it first. Did you get any credit, Katie? Yeah, she said she's a public figure now.

Okay. Follow me for more shark stories. Yeah. Exactly. I've got the shark. Miles. Got the shark. Miles.

I think it's about time we got a certified scientist on this pod to challenge Dusty's conspiracies. Thank you. Once he finds out how microwaves actually works, it will blow his mind. Love the pod, guys. Get on it, Butterbean. I don't know if he means me or brian with butterbean but i'm pretty sure he means me yeah once he finds out how a microwave actually works you have your mind blown yeah buy the microwave if you know a microwave expert let's get them on the podcast let's get them on i can't wait

for someone to just drone on and then go it's very scientific you actually you probably can't understand it because you're not a scientist i don't think i knew how it worked until we talked about it on this podcast how's it work just heats up the water elements in the... But with what? With the microwave. Electricity. What's a microwave? What do you mean by that? I mean, what is it?

It's an appliance. No, I mean, what is the wave that does the heating? Yeah, I can't break down what a microwave is. Well, how does a toilet work? Can you break down how a toilet works? I'm guessing you use one every day. You pull the lever down, and then it opens up and allows all the water inside the toilet. Allows all the water. What do you mean?

What's happening? Physically, what's happening? You remove the suction stopper from it. Suction stopper. Yeah. So there's a stopper that keeps the water from going down. It lifts up, so now all the water falls down, and the water from the back tank flows into the other tank. Why does the water fall down? Well, that's how it goes with weight and matter.

There's not some kind of principle that causes the water to- The water is heavier than the air around it, so it falls down. Right. So the heavier it is, the faster it'll fall, probably. I don't think so. I just think that it just has to be heavier than the air around it. Heavier than the air around it. That's why helium goes up.

Because it's lighter than the air around it. So when a plane takes off, the plane gets lighter than the air around it. Well, it has an engine that pushes it up into the air. Pushes it up. That's good. Well, yeah. That's good science. So we don't know

what a microwave is. But it heats up the water molecules. Right, but I want to know what the microwave itself is. Alex Hoss. Now I'm sure a microwave expert will be able to tell me. He'll be able to tell me what makes up the microwave.

And I look forward to it. It induces. It's okay. It's an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. radiation, and the microwave frequency range. This induces polar molecules in the food to vibrate and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating. Wow. Radiation.

That sounds scary, huh? Yeah. All right. One last comment here. Alex Haas. I worked for a cruise ship for five years. Food leftovers are grinded up and pushed out into the ocean. Fish do follow the ships

for the food. All waste from the engine and garbage is taken off port, not thrown in the ocean. And that is what I was saying. Now, I don't know if that last sentence is true. The part that you're... All I'm saying is... That's all you do, Dusty. You just negate anything that you don't agree with.

All I'm saying is, I don't know if any of it's true, right? But this is- Even the part you said. I assume that they would throw the food off. And I've heard people talk about saying that fish and sharks follow these ships around because they've gotten used to the food being out there. Sure. So all I'm saying, yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure these ships are very ethical and they don't

throw the trash in in the water but if they have this grinder you know what is what is trash and what is you know but but the point is fish do follow these ships around and if you fall off that's very scary oh yeah very scary yeah for sure and i know that i you know i could be a little much but um i don't think you're much i am right about most of these because the fish would eat Oh, yeah. Very scary. For sure. And I know that I could be a little much, but- I don't think you're much. I am right about most of these things. Because the fish would eat you? Yeah.

That's why it's scary to fall off a ship? It's scary because it'd be very cold. Yeah. Also, you're alone in the water. And the ship, even though it seems like it moves slow, it moves very fast. So very quickly, it would be away from you. They say it takes so long to turn around and come back and look for you. I would think they would just be able to throw a life raft in the water and scoot out to you.

But who knows what the water's like out there. It's true. And then sharks are out there. And even, not even sharks. It's like even just little fish that just nick at you. I mean, that would be very scary. The ocean's scary we're not supposed to be out there no but thank you alex for writing that in it's a

i trust that he's right all right i'll just say it he's right about the garbage and the waste how about that it's a uh it's a good segue to today's topic. But I do agree with what Nate said, which they take it, and they take it to land, and then dump it in the ground. It's got to be processed on land first. Today, we're talking about trash. I don't know a little bit about it. I learned there's a little bit difference between trash and garbage. What is the difference? Because they're used interchangeably.

They are. Yeah. I think garbage technically means food. Food waste. Whoa. What about rubbish? Yeah, I don't know. Rubbish.

That kind of makes me think food, too. Okay. Don't you? Oh, interesting. Yeah. Rubbish, I think, of like an abandoned house, and there's just kind of just rubbish all the time. But that's a British, rubbish is like a British term, right?

Yeah, but that's a, you know, yeah, yeah, that's what they do. It's rubbish. On a back road in Alabama where my dad lives, there was a sign that said, no dumping of rubbish. I was like, what is that? Anyway, so garbage is food. Henry Cho has a joke about his buddy. I think they were in New York or something.

And he went to the trash chute. And he came back and he said, they refused it. It said, refuse. It's pretty great. So anyway, garbage is technically more of the i think the food waste whereas trash is just every everything we think yeah i wonder what percentage of what percentage of it is food waste versus other waste and i bet there's a ton of food waste in the country i bet there's a ton oh yeah yeah i read where, I guess this means everything.

I don't know. It's 4.9 pounds of trash per day for a U.S. resident. Per person? Per person. So between the three of us, you think we totaled 15 pounds of trash today? Well, the day's over. Let's go through yesterday. Okay.

Yeah. Who wants to do it? I mean, I live pretty green green i'll just say that yeah you're wearing green you live green i do compost uh a lot of most of my boxes so let's just all any stat that we say on the podcast probably doesn't apply to you yeah i compost a lot of my boxes and then i also compost all my food waste unless it's like meat because uh like wild animals will come get at the meat okay and if i lived more in the country i would just do it but i'm like i don't want to bring a

lot of raccoons and stuff into the coyotes yeah once you go to one of your many lands that you own well i well i i would take it there but it's like then i just got it's got to sit around in a bucket yeah however long that's right and that's one of the difficulties of trash disposal, right? It is. How do we take it? How do we take it to other places? Interesting. We'll come back to that. We'll be right back.

We'll be back after these messages. And you could burn it, right? But people are very against burning. That's what we did as a kid. You burned all your trash? We lived out in the country. We didn't have any trash pickup. And I think we eventually started hauling it to the city dump. And I'm not making a joke about your age, but probably when you were a kid, there was

a lot less plastic. Well, I should have waited until you finished your sentence before I said yes. Yeah. I was going to say a lot less regulation. Well, that's for sure. But there was like plastic had a real revolution where it was like they used to, like even when I was a kid, a lot of the Cokes that you would buy were in glass bottles. That's true.

You were buying glass bottle Cokes? Not like the old school Coke, but even like a 16-ouncer was still in a bigger glass. Yeah, I remember buying a lot of stuff in glass. Did you buy like milk would come in a glass? No. Okay, always a plastic jug. Milk's been plastic lot of stuff in glass. Did you buy milk would come in a glass? No. Milk's been plastic my whole life. Or paper. I feel like there's less paper contained.

There is less paper now. Paper, orange juice, those kind of cartons. Plastic, I remember commercials for plastic on TV. It was a real revolution of things being in plastic. Just a commercial for plastic? Just. I mean, it was a real revolution of things being in plastic. Just a commercial for plastic? Yeah.

Just being like, guys, we need plastic? Well, they were pushing it like it was like Got Milk commercials. Or like a cotton commercial. Yeah. I remember a Coke commercial or one of the soft drinks where it would show a glass bottle falling off the table and just shattering everywhere. And then it would show this new plastic bottle falling out

and just bounces. Wow. How about that? As if to say, out with the old, in with the new. Yeah. These dumb glass bottles shattering all the time. Right. And I wouldn't even think about that.

I bet they lost a ton of inventory through shipping when it was glass. It was much more. There's a lot more spillage. I bet that's a big part of it too do they keep how long did the commercial go did it end up with like you see the plastic bottle five minutes you saw the plastic bottle in the ocean at the end just floating for eternity and they showed a bunch of microplastics in our guts that's right doesn't shatter out here it shatters inside yeah the movie the graduate which was before my time dustin hoffman i think it was like late 60s 67 i believe i was gonna say 68 but he uh just right out of college and one of the men says plastics that's like the future getting the plastics i was like their ai yeah yeah and look what i did to it yeah look what ai is doing

to us i mean plastics obviously done a lot of really great things but i just don't think like what well you got prosthetics that are plastic all the good ones are aluminum are they i have no idea okay yeah i'm just going to push back a little bit but it's like it's done great things but it's like i was watching just the tiktok video and this girl was in a grocery store and and the whole thing was like she was going through all the things she was buying she was like this produce is in a plastic bag this meat is in a plastic bag this is in plastic everything she was buying was in plastic and she's like then when i get to the register they won't give me a plastic bag unless i pay for it because they're saving the planet and it's like it's all a scam it's like i am i am very hippie about like taking care of things like i want i wish that every tree in our neighborhood was a fruit tree instead of just

some weird ornamental i I wish that we had gardens instead of grass. I wish that- Can you roll back the clip where Dusty said, I don't care about the environment? Remember that from earlier? But this is the point though. Anyway, cut back to now. This is the point. When it comes to the environment, that is some sort of a term used to say, let's let the government control the weather you know what i mean and it's like i think i think we should uh take care of our own stuff and be more uh you know worry about what each of us are doing and not let some overseer you can trust most people to do that not right now but

i think it would take you know education in this area to teach people. Like they did plastic commercials. We'll do some commercials about compost. But the government is not trying to teach us how to take care of our own things. They're trying to get us to pay more money for this and that and drive an electric car, which is coal burning, to give us the electricity. But there's all kinds of campaigns to show us how to save the environment. Yeah. Like what? Preserve things.

Only you can prevent forest fires. Right. Don't burn the forest. Don't be smoking in the woods. That's right. Yeah. Don't have a good time with your friends in the woods. But what are some of the programs?

Recycling campaigns, which I know you also don't believe in. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Well, I'm all about reduce, and I'm all about reuse. Yeah. But recycling, I think, about reduce and I'm all about reuse. Yeah. But recycling, I think, is a bit of a scam. Okay. So you'll reduce, reuse, and that's it. But that's the thing.

They want a recycling campaign. It's much less catchy with just the two. Yeah. It's like you got to buy a special recycling. You got to pay an extra fee and then you got to do this and you got to do that. And then at the end of the day, they pick it up and they dump it in the same dumpster as all the others. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, there's nothing that they'll say that you will believe, but they do do all these things that you're saying. I just don't think that they do. I think it comes to like educating people individually on how we just be better citizens of the world, not let a government agency control what we're doing. We just moved in to our new place and we were trying to get trash service started. And dude, it took like three weeks for them to,

we showed up there's at our old place, we showed up and there were just two trash cans there. And I don't even know how we got it set up. They were just picking up the trash. I didn't even think about it. This place, show up, no trash can. So the only company in the area is waste management. So I have to call waste management and go, I would like a trash can.

And they go, well, all right, I'll look into that. I go, all right, well, I've look into that. I go, all right. Well, I've been paying it. I set up an account and I'm paying, but I need a trash can. And they're like, okay. I call back a week later and I go, I would like a trash can, please. The trash is piling up. I'm doing 4.9 pounds a day of this stuff.

So I need. You're probably above average. That's average. You're making up for what i'm reducing okay yeah yeah you burn it all um so they go well we'll we'll expedite it and i go what does that mean she goes i honestly don't know she goes it's just like a different folder where we put your number so we finally got a trash trash can to come but dude now we're like backlogged on trash yeah yeah because we have we didn't have one for three weeks so i'm trying to like and you're unpacking a ton of stuff so you have more trash than i got so much stuff i gotta call tracy the trash man to come get this

stuff it's a dude i found on Craigslist. Oh, it's a separate company? Tracy. No, it's just a dude named Tracy. There is a dump that you can go. And like, it's just. This is too much to transport myself. So it's just a bunch of stuff in my garage.

So I got to get Tracy to come out. When waste management fails, I call Tracy the Trash Man. Yeah. Well, I like Tracy. Do you have a recycling bin? No, it's just a... Just a trash. Just a bucket. They go throw whatever you want in here.

Yeah. Batteries. I just don't believe that they really can recycle a lot of these things. I just don't believe the whole process of... Like glass, I think maybe. Yeah. I think they could definitely reuse a lot of bottles my backpacks made out of reused tires that's what they say yeah who knows if that's true right but

it's good to think about yeah it's hard to imagine my day yesterday was five almost five pounds of trash that i went through we'll go through through it. Are you including human waste? No, but then it's way more than... Why is that not included? I mean, that's going somewhere too. It's easy to not think about it because it just flushes away, but that's going into the ocean. Going into what ends up being our tap water

again. I think they just filter. Into the water tower? I think it goes to a water purification plant or whatever and they just like our toilet water is our tap water. That's why you got to really filter that stuff. I think.

I knew a person or I knew of a person that would put a brick in their toilet and they'd only flush your toilet once a day. Oh, that's disgusting. I don't always flush every time, but that is. And that's another thing. I pee outside a lot. I'm very conscious of wasting water.

I don't want to be watering my grass, but I don't want it to turn into dirt out there. You know, I don't need to be lush and green, but I want to keep it alive turn into dirt out there. Sure. You know, I don't need to be lush and green, but I want to keep it alive. I want it lush and green. Yeah. So I'm very conscious of wasting these things. I try to save water. That's why I built the swales out on the land so that when the rainwater comes, hopefully it can hold the water, uh, you know, so that it just doesn't go to waste. But it's like not flushing, but one time a day, it's disgusting. I understand. What's the brick do?

Brick might not be the right word. In the tank. You put it in the tank in the back. Some type of, yeah, you plug up. You beautifully described it. So it doesn't fill the tank all the way. The water goes down. Yeah.

So even if you hit the thing, it wouldn't do anything. Yeah. Well, it just would be less water in there because the brick takes up space. I see. thing it wouldn't do anything yeah well it just would be less water in there because the brick takes up space i see so as the water rises in that back tank it just hits a level point where it shuts off basically plugging it up gotcha and then and then you flush it now what kind of trash bags i'm thinking now just have the self-restraint not to flush exactly you need to put a plug in there you probably just would forget maybe i don't just it. That's true. That's true. I used to pee outside when I lived in an apartment complex. Yeah, so don't make it weird

when I talk about you pee on your shorts. I didn't make it weird. I just didn't remember the Bugle Boys. I guess I got the wrong, I guess you said Duckhead. Yeah, it was also the middle of an ad. I'll talk about my pee anytime. That's right. We'll try to shoehorn it into my next vlog

I got one coming up here in a few minutes see if we can do that trash bags you guys got a favorite? I love it I love it I think you gotta do it

you gotta get there are a few things I'm in a favorite trash bag oh I know I'm saying okay what do you got? yeah well no

now finish your thought black I like the black ones okay hefty? hefty I'm saying. Okay. What do you got? Yeah. Well, no. Now finish your thought. I like the black ones. Okay. Hefty? Hefty. I was just about to say, there are a few.

I buy off-brand stuff almost everything, but there are a few things where I think it really, I notice a difference and the difference improves my life in a meaningful way. The amount of bad experiences I've had with cheap bags that break and the ties come off, it's worth it to me to get a durable trash bag. And I use them and I love them. I feel the same way. I grew up, my mom still uses cheap trash bag with the twist tie where you take the tie and twist around it yeah yeah her trash can like i have a foot pedal and she every time i go to her house i put my foot there

like where's the pedal and yeah just little things like that yeah buy your mom a foot pedal trash well you're right i could do that she doesn't want it my mom doesn't want anything that's too uptown and i do use i use dollar general bags kroger bags i use those for almost everything too but like for real like in the kitchen stuff i gotta use a real real name brand i'm total public's brand for trash bags well public's brand is good i'm'm talking, I was thinking like the Dollar General brand is like an abomination. Oh, yeah. And I'm talking about

one that has at least draw stripes. I don't even go to Dollar General. I don't even know how to get around in there. There's always somebody that seems like they quit mid-stocking. It is.

You never get to walk clean through an aisle at a Dollar General. You walk up, the cashierier smoking a cigarette in the parking lot. She's mad that you're there. She's got to come in. And the bathroom, even to use a bathroom, you got to have a key

to use the bathroom. Of course. It's a real situation in there. And finding water, sometimes I'll go to the Dollar General if I'm on the road just to find some water. They hide it. It's like, it's all cokes in there. Usually back right. They want you to be dehydrated up in there.

Of course, everything in there is dehydrating. Yeah. Yeah. That's the way it works. I like how you say the Dollar General. You have a joke where your sister worked it. Yeah. My sister. Well, yeah, that's an old joke. The joke never went that well, but my sister worked at a Dollar General and I always wanted to, I always wish I could be in the dollar general. She was working there and apparently it got real busy and she was running the cash register and the line was backing up and no one would help her. So she kept paging

for a manager to come help her and no one would come. So she just walked out. Wasn't it like she hadn't been working there that long? No, this was at the time, like her longest job. She'd been there like nine months, which was a long time for her. And she just walked out. What was the joke though? I said, I never had any family in the military, but my sister did do one tour with the dollar general. That's a great joke. That part of the joke went well. But I always wanted to be in that dollar general when she walked out. I just would like to be there

with a few items. I'm bothered that there's a line the cashier's freaking out and then she just leaves and we're all like oh i remember when i worked at the country club here in town like the busiest day of the year this big event and this girl that i worked with screaming in the kitchen and just walked out. I had never seen that happen before. I mean, it was pretty crazy. Like, we needed you. Yeah. Like, we need you right now.

Yeah. Yeah, this stinks. We need you, though. And she just left. I never saw her again. And once the anger's gone, it's like, ah. She's like getting in the car and like, ah, she probably had it. Yeah, I just lost my job and my reference for my next

that's right yeah yeah you burned a bridge that's what larry david did right yeah he just showed up the next day and pretended it didn't happen was it snl snl yes first season there that's the way to go because and to some degree depending on how bad they need you they might let it go too not this this i remember i remember the manager being like, good riddance. Oh, yeah. It's pretty great. Yeah. Anyway.

Now, have you ever been dumpster diving? No. I thought about it. Was there anything in particular you were looking for? No. Sometimes you'll see a little. Dusty's got a bit about this too, but sometimes you'll see a little like some furniture in there. Yeah.

What got dumped in this dumpster? Yeah, I don't think I've ever been dumpster, dumpster diving, but I've for sure like. Spent some time. Yeah, seen some stuff on the side of the road and I'm like, well, I'm going to mess around through this here. You know, looking for furniture and stuff like that. I feel like dumpster diving is like you throw open a lid and you get down in that thing. I've never done that. Apparently at one point though, some people in my family had figured out where in Opelika, Walmart would dump all their returns. Because apparently when they get returns, they're not allowed to, at least back then, put them back

on the shelf. So they just get dumped wow or or or maybe or maybe it's like no one can take it home or something like that okay whatever it is uh they found the place where walmart was dumping this stuff and they were going out there what a score yeah my mom had my mom had like a ton of christmas stuff but it would be like a deer that only half of it lit up and she was able to fix some of it but it was like this is stuff you don't need here yeah yeah at daisy's birthday party we were playing with her uh eleanor i play with doll daisy's dollhouse and it's a nice dollhouse and your mom said yeah i found that on the side of the road oh i love it yeah well yeah Yeah. Well, yeah, it was like, you know, it's been around. A lot of the kids in the family have played with that dollhouse.

And Daisy would go there and play with it. My mom's like, oh, the kids here don't even play with this. Why don't you just take it? She loves that dollhouse. Yeah, it's a great dollhouse. Yeah. When I was- I didn't know that.

Oh, you didn't know that until right now? Oops. When I was in high school, I had braces and then a retainer. And I lost my retainer more than once. And my parents, my mom especially, really like, you know, it's expensive to go replace it. Yeah. And I was probably a sophomore in high school. I was old enough to drive. And I apparently left my retainer on my tray in the cafeteria. You know, you take them out when you eat.

And then I went up there and dumped my tray, whatever. Then I realized later on what I've done. And I was so worried that my mom, my parents were going to really let me have it. My cousin, who was a couple years younger than me, had a metal detector. Whoa. And I came up with this idea. Let's go to the dump behind the high school with your metal detector and do the bags of trash and see if we can find my retainer. Whoa.

And so my cousin was in eighth grade, I think. I was a sophomore, but could drive. And we went and we got in there. And what we didn't realize is the whole bin is made of metal. So it's like, man, it's everywhere in here. It's like using a sand detector on the beach. I feel like the only thing nerdier than a retainer that you've lost and you're now looking for is being caught out back with a metal detector by the dumpster well you get caught look i know but thankfully well what

we that's the only reason you're here today is because you didn't get caught yeah what we ended up doing was we're like well we got to get away from this metal of the bed so we loaded up bags of trash yeah in my car drove back out to the country where I lived. There's always some back road, a creek bed where people would be disposed of anyway. We just went out there. The bags of trash and went through. Talk about disgusting. Yeah. So disgusting.

We did not find it. School's trash too. You're better off to get a job and buy yourself a new retainer. Well, I'd have to do it in the next four to six hours you know before my mom found out it's a stupid stupid thing but that's hilarious that's so funny yeah and and a shame that you trash that creek in that way yeah it's a different time back then there's a scene of there's a scene in mad men yeah where they're having a lovely picnic and like a park and then they finish up and they just like crush their can and they just start throwing their trash into the

forest and uh it seems so crazy now but i think that's how it was done back in the way back before your time way back in the day that's how it was done right there is no thinking that we need to put this in the trash can. On the, I don't think everybody was doing this at this time, but when my dad would pick me up,

my parents are divorced and my dad would pick me up from school every other Friday and it's about a 30 minute drive back to his house. So we would stop and get a Coke and some peanuts.

We were real old school. You probably know about this. Put the peanuts in the Coke. You put the peanuts in the Coke. Yes. And then we would eat it and drink it on the way home. And then after we were real old school. You probably know about this. Put the peanuts in the Coke. You put the peanuts in the Coke. Yes. And then we would eat it and drink it on the way home. And then after we were done, we would stuff the peanut wrapper down in the bottle. And my dad would throw them out the window on the way home.

Just like we could easily just left them in the car, put them in the trash when we get home. But he just launches them out on the side of the road. Just hit some guy in a chain gang on the side of the road. I mean, we did. Growing up in the country, it was just everywhere on the side of the road. Just hit some guy in a chain gang on the side of the road. I mean, we did. Growing up in the country, it was just everywhere on the side of the road. People just threw it out and didn't even think about it. And next to a sign that says, keep Tennessee beautiful. Yeah.

I hate litter so much now. I am pretty anti a lot of environmentalist stuff that is propaganda, but I hate littering. I hate trashing. Because it's so easy to not litter. Yeah. There was a campaign growing up in Tennessee, Tennessee Trash. And there was this commercial where this guy-

That could easily be like a neighborhood. Tennessee Trash? Yeah. Or a term. Yeah. It was a great commercial. I just remember this guy in a convertible, I believe. I say that now I'm questioning myself, but pretty sure he's in a convertible.

Just going down the highway, just throwing stuff out everywhere. And then at the end of the, you know, Luke's all the way back on the street. He's just got stuff all over the highway. Yeah. And it was just like, keep Tennessee, you know, clean. And I just remember that commercial. So it was just the guy throwing trash out of the. Yeah, I think his name was.

With no repercussions. Tennessee Trash. Yeah, it just shows. I think it was supposed to show how quickly. It was Brian Bates on the way from the school to the bag of trash looking for a retainer. It could have been. Who knows? But I still remember that commercial.

Of course, the famous ones, the Indian with the tear. Native American, excuse me, with the tear. Knows I, right? I've never that commercial. Of course, the famous ones, the Indian with the tear. Native American, excuse me, with the tear. That was I, right? I've never seen that. I never saw it, but I've heard reference of it. You don't even know what I'm talking about? No. This was like a nationwide campaign?

Yeah. Yeah, Iron Eyes Cody. Iron Eyes Cody. The environmental commercial, which first aired. Oh, this is an actual. Hold on. He played a Native American shedding a tear about pollution. One of the country's most well-known television PSAs from the group.

Keep America beautiful. How about that? Yeah, that was a very. In 1996, Cody's half sister said that he was of Italian ancestry, but he denied it. Yeah, there's episodes Sopranos where they. This guy wasn't Native American at all. The Sopranos, there was one where they were protesting something and then they point that out to a guy who's Native American. You know, Iron Eyes Cody.

He was actually Italian. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah. I had never heard of this guy. Yeah. Now I'm glad I didn't do. I'm kidding.

Now, do you guys think that police or law enforcement, FBI, whatever, should be able to go through your garbage as far as investigation? Nah. Legally, they're allowed to if you've voluntarily disposed of it, right? If I put something in the trash can, they're allowed to look through it. Yeah. It was a Supreme Court case, I think, about this. Yeah. I mean, if it's out, it's already gone to the dump.

Yeah. Have at it. What's the end of your driveway? Well, it's still on my property. It's still in my trash can that I pay for. Where does your property end? Do you know that specifically? Once they come and that trash truck comes and lifts up that trash can and puts it in their truck, then it's no longer.

No, but I mean, do you own the sidewalk? I don't have a sidewalk, but I have had my house surveyed. So I know where my property is. Do you own the curb or the grass right past the curb? I'd say the grass right up to the curb. Okay. Okay. So like my new place, sidewalk, and then a little more grass until the curb.

So it's like I own that grass, but not the sidewalk in front of it. I would say that's a debate that you even own that grass on the other side. When I have this debate, I'm going to need your help a little bit. Because I would say you're obligated to take care of that grass. And take care of the sidewalk there. I'm supposed to shovel that sidewalk if it snows. I don't think that's going to be an issue. You probably wouldn't do the grass just to make your own house look better.

Yeah. I would say you don't own past the sidewalk. Okay. And how far down do I own? To the center of the earth? Well, there is some debate about that. Some people can have, if you buy land, you have to really get people to really dig in because there's a certain thing is like mineral rights or something like that. If you were to discover oil on your property and you

don't own the mineral rights, somebody could come and say, well, that's not yours. Did you look into this when you bought that land? So do you know how far down you own? I don't own the mineral rights, somebody could come and say, well, that's not yours. Did you look into this when you bought that land? Do you know how far down you own? I don't know. There's not like you own 20 feet or something? I think it's just like you have the mineral rights. Oh, that's nice. Yeah.

How far up can you go? That's another great question. That's another great question. Do you owe the air above you? I think I do. Maybe all the way up to the firmament. I feel like it. Maybe so.

I'm looking at you guys to see if you approve. Do you approve? Are you with me? It's like Dusty's like the end of Truman Show at the staircase. Well, the Supreme Court ruling, they asked that same question. Where does it end? And they used a term, curtilage. Curtilage. Yeah, and the house is curtilage.

Curtilage of a home is an outdoor space that is an extension of the inner living space, which therefore has a reasonable expectation of privacy from searches by law enforcement. Okay, so if I got my trash can tucked away behind the porch or something. That's definitely not legal. Right. But if it's out where it's available for pickup, then I've legally disposed of it and they can look through that trash. Interesting. Interesting.

I would say that makes sense. Good to know. But if it's half in your driveway and half on the sidewalk, I don't know. Judgment call. Yeah. You got to play by ear. I mean, to some degree, though, like, I don't know. I mean, it's like I'm't know. Judgment call. Yeah. You got to play it by ear. I mean, to some degree, though, like, I don't know. I mean, it's like I'm against it.

But if it is in your trash can waiting to be picked up, at this point, you've already said, I'm done with this. Right. You know? Right. Nobody's storing anything out there going, oh, trash about to come. Let me go get that out. I think a lot of cases have been solved that way, at least on TV shows. That's right.

Yeah. And some in real life. Now, we've talked a little bit in the past about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Yes. Two times the size of Texas. Are you familiar with this, Dusty? I'm guessing that is a bunch of trash out in the ocean that's come together. Kind of circulates.

People are living on it yeah no this guy's no people this guy's invented a way to clean the ocean oh of the trash oh good for them how are they doing it just kind of picking it up well he's got this kind of giant net thing here and it moves really slow so the fish can get out of the way and they pull it in well what's revolutionary about this i would if you'd ask me to think of a way to pick it up, I would have said just drag a net. Yeah. Where is he taking it? Put it in the other ocean.

The Atlantic Ocean. Let me ask you about this. What do you think about this? Yeah. Let me throw this at you. Yeah, please do. Bit of a biblical thing, but here we go. NIV?

It doesn't matter. Okay. When you talk about unclean animals versus clean animals, especially when it comes to water animals, the unclean animals are like filters for the ocean, like shellfish, scallops, shrimp, lobster, crabs. They all filter things. Catfish. Catfish. Yeah. So they're all, they're kind of bottom feeders and they filter the ocean. Imagine we didn't eat them. Imagine no one ate them.

Right. And they all stayed in the ocean instead of us just getting them out all the time and having them at every restaurant, everywhere you go, anywhere all the time. They were just left in the ocean. How clean might the ocean be? Yeah. New Orleans would be bankrupt. Right. But how clean?

That's what I'm saying. But at what cost? Well. Bread lobster's already gone out of business. But that's the point, though. Do you think it would be much cleaner? No. I don't think that lobsters are going to be eating all this plastic in the ocean.

Well, the plastic would be gone or still be there, but would the – well, we might have less plastic if we were selling less different kinds of food. All the rubber bands on the lobsters. But just the idea is that would the water be clearer and, you know, and then maybe you see the trash more and then people go and they really can see the effects. They go, oh, this water is disgusting. Look at all this plastic in here. Maybe. But when it's a dark, murky color, you can't see it. Yeah.

I don't know. I don't know how much. I don't know. I don't know. They used to let swine eat people's garbage. Yeah. But, you know, now we just use them for bacon. Just think about if we didn't do that.

Yeah. They used to just put goats on the White House lawn and let them eat the grass. That's right. Yeah. Like, I heard India was letting pigs in landfills to just eat the trash. Oh. But then kind of like environmentalists stop that oh good well they still have work to do over there um well i think this is mostly from what i read

microplastics i mean that's not right there but i think if you went out you wouldn't see two texas size piles of trash it's mostly right it's a bit of a misnomer right because when you hear the great garbage patch you think it's like you said, like you can step on it. Yeah. But all it means is there's a higher concentration than there should be. Yeah. In this area. I wonder if we couldn't take trash and compact it, smash it all together and build things out of it.

We get a big net and we just kind of encircle. His backpack's made out of it. That's right. You encircle the whole ocean and just move to the middle. Let's see this backpack. I don't have it with me. Oh, you guys keep pointing down here. Oh, I thought you pointed it.

I usually do have it down there. Oh, okay. I don't even believe it's real now. You both referenced something I can't see. What about space junk? You know, that's building up. Well, I don't. Yeah, I mean, you know, I don't believe that at all.

Garbage truck. Oh, this is interesting, I think. Yeah. 1937, George Dempster invented the Dempster dumpster system in which wheeled waste containers were mechanically tipped into the truck.

These containers were known as dumpsters, which led to the word dumpster entering the language. I thought it just came from the word dump. Like Thomas Trapper. Yeah, to some degree it probably did, but his name was Dempster, so let's have play on words. Dempster, dumpster. Dempster, dumpster.

Good for him. It's pretty cool. If you're named Dempster, you better do something with dumpsters. That's true. You know? Mm-hmm. Do you guys tip your garbage man i have i gave my garbage guy a bunch of cigars one time i didn't know is that something you're expecting i

think some people at christmas time do i don't have a relationship with mine didn't you get a fight with yours uh i don't think we got into a fight i forget a bit of a tiff yeah that's what i meant oh oh no it was my old trash company. They were doing a similar thing to me where they would like, they just wouldn't show up. And then I would call and complain that they didn't come pick up my trash. And they go, oh, we'll just credit your account. And I'm like, I just want you to come pick up this trash. I'd like to pay you to take this trash. I don't have nothing.

They go, we'll get it next week and we'll just credit your account. And I'm like, it's full. Yeah, it's full. Yeah. It's full of stuff. Yeah. 4.9 pounds a day. Yeah. 4.

I mean, I got a whole family. You got, you're going through almost 20 pounds a day of trash. I don't think we have that much. Is that a worldwide average or is that American? American. Okay. So the worldwide average is probably three ounces a day it is right yeah it is we're so wasteful and yes it is unbelievable how much trash is i hate it

i hate it so much how much trash we have out here but i don't know what to do about it so i do compost the cardboard oh that's good what do you do just put it on the ground and eventually turns to dirt that's good oh isn't that convenient yeah Just put it on the ground and eventually turns to dirt. That's good. Oh, isn't that convenient? Yeah. I'm going to try to compost a lot of stuff this weekend. See if styrofoam works. Well, it is.

I do think a lot of our trash, if we didn't have it in plastic bags that go to the dumpster, it would just break down. Like you throw a banana peel out in the yard. Or a retainer or something. Yeah, a couple of days, it's gone. Yeah. Well, yeah, but a banana peel, that's... But if you put a banana peel in a plastic bag, it doesn't disappear like that. Yeah.

But if you threw just a plastic bag out in the yard, it's not going to go away in a couple of days. Never. You can let it dry rot and run over it with a lawnmower and it'll spread it out a bit. Here's a term that's been used more and more over the years. Dumpster fire. Dumpster fire.

I usually think about it now with the sports team. Sure. The Chicago White Sox are a dumpster fire this season. You've heard this term, Dusty? I have heard it, yeah. You ever used it? Mainly about, I feel like it's about people, right? You say, that person's a dumpster fire.

Yeah. Just a fire. Yeah. Just a mess. Yeah. Anybody know where it comes from? There's probably. Well, I was in Portland, Oregon. Byron Dempster set himself on fire. I was in Portland, Oregon, and it was a little cold out, and I'm driving down, and I look under a bridge, and there's a group of men standing around a barrel, and it's fire and they're just you know warming themselves portland

portland oregon yeah and uh i thought well that's cool that's a real it feels like a real homeless experience you know what i mean like an old school like merle haggard has a song where he's talking about standing around a a barrel fire yeah and guys, they've had choices from the day they were born. There's been voices that taught me right from wrong. If I had listened, I wouldn't be here today living and dying with the choices I've made. That's poetic. Yeah. That's real nice.

Yeah. Where does it come from, bro? Well, this term's dumpster fire, not barrel fire in Portland, Oregon. You are right about that. That was a good. You are right about that. That was a good... You are right. It was first used in 2003 in a review of a remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Oh. The guy for the Arizona Republic wrote a review, and he called it a dumpster fire. The movie? The movie. That's how it started. Whoa. Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2? The remake. Yeah. Yeah, it really took off, though. a dumpster fire the movie the movie that's how it started whoa texas chainsaw massacre 2 the remake

yeah yeah it really took off though i hear it all the time now dumpster fire yeah yeah yeah yeah kind of jump the shark with that one you know that uh yeah getting uh trash songs country songs dusty sleigh's top 10 trash songs? I don't know if there is. I mean, I can't recall a lot of country songs about trash. Have you ever listened to- I like my women a little on the trashy side. Where they wear their shoes too tight and their hair is dyed. Oh, that's fun.

Too much lipstick and too much rouge. You ever listen to... Ain't No Trash in My Trailer, I think was a Toby Keith song. You ever listen to the... Where is it? I got to find this out. The Manson Family? Yeah, the Manson Family has an album on Spotify.

And they have a song just called Garbage Dump or something. There's a band Garbage. There is a band garbage i was thinking about while you look that up i was thinking about movies the only one i can think of there's the movie men at work guessing that yeah charlie sheen emilio estevez they were trash guys then there's uh i think there's a movie with uh hugh he's married into the mafia and they're dumpster guys. There's a lot of mafia in real life and movies where they run the waste management. Yeah, so you can get rid of bodies.

And goodfellas, that's how they got rid of some of them. Yeah. That's got a real ring to it. Well, Charles Manson wrote some songs for the Beach Boys. He was a real good musician. Yeah. This song is a little tough to listen to. Garbage dump?

It's one of my favorites. It's tough for me to recommend Charles Manson's album, but just it's on Spotify if you're curious like I was. Yeah. You sent me a lot of stuff. Sorry. I just think of the idea of recommending it unironically. Have you heard

Garbage Dump by Charles Manson? Off the field, he had some issues for sure, but... I like him as an artist. Not what he did in his personal life. That's right. I separate the man from the artist you heard Garbage Dump? I separate the man from the artistry. Garbage Dump might be the song of the summer.

I had no idea that they wrote songs and put out an album. Is that Charles singing? Oh, yeah. For sure. I mean, it really makes you think. It does. I haven't digged into the lyrics. I'm a little afraid to.

Because garbage is mainly food, and I imagine there's other stuff. But why did they call it a garbage dump? Yeah. You know? Sorry to derail whatever you're trying to say. No, no, it's okay. I was going to mention, you sent me a lot of interesting stuff about the history of trash. Oh, yeah.

It went back to ancient Rome before, you know. Yeah, what were they doing with trash? Not disposing of it in a very sanitary way, that's for sure. The Romans? What kind of trash would they really have, though? They didn't have packages coming in. It must have mostly been waste, like human waste. Yeah. Human human waste because do they have and i don't know what kind of plumbing they had but yeah they had public latrines and bathhouses you would think that to me this is

what you would do you would have a fire that's just always going go ahead and have people the olympic torch yeah you would have people in charge because i don't know if they had gas back then but you would have people in charge of getting wood coal and rocks whatever keeps that fire going and it's always going and you come and you got your little bucket of poop and you dump it in there and that's how you get right it's embarrassing you have to do that in front of the whole town well hopefully it's a bucket that's covered. Go at night. But still, you've been out there a bunch, huh? You're back? It's too heavy. Yeah, you got me.

You're struggling this week, huh? And you're like, yeah. Well, I think in Jesus' time, there was outside Jerusalem a dump that just always smoldered that people did that. It was called Gehenna. Okay, yeah. All right, I'm ahead of my time.

Look at that. But I think Gehenna. Okay. Yeah. All right. I'm ahead of my time. Look at that. Yeah. But I think that is, that would be the way to go. When I hear about just like, like, I don't know. I turned down a street one time in Tampa.

I was just, I got lost and I turned down a back road and I went through this neighborhood and they had a dumpster that was just completely overflowing and trash. And I was like, how does this get like this? It is insane. Yeah. There was the garbage strike of 1968. That's actually when Charles Manson was let out of prison.

I think that was the time he committed the murders in 1968. Whoa. So maybe that's why he was singing about the garbage. Cause there's a strike go. So maybe he was, this was a protest song. Anyway, go ahead.

Well, anyway, I think we'll be right back. There was one in New York city. There was one in Memphis where they, you know, went on strike for higher wages and better working conditions. And Martin Luther King even came to Memphis and,

and spoke that this is a, you know, any job, there should be some human decency involved and they should be treated a certain way. Trash is, being a trash guy is a hard job. Not only because you're dealing with trash, but the trash guys that come through my neighborhood, like they pull in and they don't have the arm on the thing. There's about three or four guys. They jump off in the cul-de-sac and they grab all the trash cans around, bring it to the thing and dump it in. It's like, just imagine an eight-hour shift where all day you're jumping off this thing and grabbing these trash cans. Yeah. It's really not a respected job for how hard it is.

No, it should be though. I looked up what they make in Nashville. Average, $16 an hour. What's minimum wage here? Probably $10? I don't know. $7.25 still, isn't it? Lauren's shaking her head yes.

That's what we pay her. Is that considered a good? I think I did the math, and that's $,000 a year, which unless my math was wrong, but that doesn't sound great. I think $16 an hour is a decent wage, but not for what they have to do. And not for how important they are to the city. Yes. Like if they stopped. I mean, it took me three weeks without throwing trash away.

I was like, I would. Yeah. like if they mean it took me three weeks without throwing trash away i was like i would yeah yeah i mean i would almost go without power for a day just to get these trash taken out yeah anyway uh best trash talkers trash talker oh uh connor mcgregor that guy's really mcgregor's unbelievable all-timer the rock for. For sure. Very good. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Yeah. Phillip Rivers. Never cussed. Phillip Rivers, he would get in there and get in people's face, for sure.

But keep it clean. That's right. He would keep it clean. Gosh dang it. Yeah. Yeah, all that kind of stuff. You know Phillip Rivers? Yeah, yeah. He coached in Alabama that time.

That's right. My dad's high school. Yeah. They said Larry Bird was one of the best. Oh, Larry Bird. I've heard that. My dad's high school. Yeah. They said Larry Bird was one of the best. Oh, Larry Bird. I've heard that. I believe it. Yeah.

I mean, I looked up a list of like the top trash talkers in sports. They're also the best, generally speaking, players. That's true. It was. Like Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller. Yeah. You're like, okay. Kevin Garnett is notorious.

He was brought up there. There's not many Brian Bateses in there that are talking trash. You are good at talking trash, though. I want people to know that. I am. You are very good. Very quietly and secretly. Well, that's why I made that joke on here one time.

There was a guy who got very offended about you getting dirty. And I'm not advocating for you to be a dirty comic. But I think you are a good trash talker and i think it would be shocking and funny if you just came out with some heat that's all i'm saying just out of nowhere it'd be funny that's all i'm saying i mean i it's like yeah obviously i don't want you to be a dirty comic yeah um i don't want to be a dirty comic but it's like just to come out with some heat. Would it be hilarious to us for Brian to just go off on the crowd one time? Yeah. Let me tell y'all something.

Yeah. That's all I'm saying. Bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep. Yeah. Oh, God. That'd be great. Oh, yeah. Happy Gilmore.

I know that's a fictional character, but Adam Sandler in that movie, Happy Gilmore, that beep, beep, beep just reminded me of that. Great trash talker. Oh, but the best trash talker in that movie is the guy that shooter gavin hired to yell stuff at happy gilmore yeah yeah yeah yeah he was unbelievable all right that was trash was trash oh garbage dump oh garbage dump all right speaking of garbage dump where All right. Speaking of garbage dump, where are you guys going to be this week? Well, you start, Dusty.

We usually go this way. Well, you know what? This weekend is big for me. Is it? I got a big weekend. Okay. Friday. Hot weekend, too.

Friday, I'm going to be at Bridgestone Arena with Alabama and Gary Allen. Nice. I'm going to be on the show with those guys. I hope they set the Bridgestone attendance record. That'd be something, huh? And then I'd be part of it two times. Wow. It would be clear then it would be.

Still not get any credit, but I'd be a part of it two times. But they won't because there's no way that Alabama could get the stage that small. The stage at Bridgestone was about as big as this table we're talking at right now. And then on Saturday, I have two shows in Richmond, Virginia at the Richmond Funny Bone, but those shows are sold out. Boom. On Sunday, though, we added a show. So there are some tickets available to Sunday in and richmond virginia at the funny bone

The Galaxy Diner. Yeah, that was fun. But the next day in Richmond, we went and had a sandwich. And you still talk about that sandwich. It was one of the best. I tipped the cook.

I never tipped the cook before. It's one of the best sandwiches I ever had in my life. I wish I knew what that place was. I want to go again. I may make it happen. Yeah, yeah. Find it this weekend. What kind of sandwich?

Reuben? It was something like that. It was a meat. I think it was a breakfast sandwich, right? We're getting brunch there. No, I think it was more like a Reuben type sandwich, which is my favorite. Corn beef or pastrami doesn't make any difference to me. Yeah.

I love a roast beef kind of sandwich, but it was like. I remember seeing you react to that sandwich. I still think about it. Yeah, that's Richmond yeah it's exciting man you're gonna go back there this time yeah
