Hello folks and hey bear welcome to the podcast I'm neighbor gets the brown baits Aaron Weber dusty slay all right and surprise boom we're in a new studio here we are yeah I mean this is All right. And surprise. Boom. We're in a new studio. Here we are. Yeah. I mean, this is, we, I don't think anybody knew this was happening. Y'all knew, but. Even we kind of doubted it. Yeah.

You know, we had been seeing, you know, I had seen the room and it was, it was empty. Yeah. And this is it. They've done a great job. This is a new studio. It's out of my house. That room gets to become an office. I've never had an office.

And you get your house back. I get my house back. Yeah, I enjoy that. I think it feels better to leave your home to go to work. I'm sure people that work from home. So it's nice to get out and go do something. I'm sure your dog will miss me. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I think we're all... I went to your house today. Yeah. Just sat there. Yeah. I thought, I guess everybody's running late. Yeah. So, yeah, this is it.

They've done an unbelievable job with this. This is a map behind us of old Hickory. We've got some new photos. Still, it's heavy me. Yeah, still pretty Nate heavy. But we have some stuff. There is a lot of me stuff. And, I mean, look, the second y'all start putting a den in show business, I think we will get your stuff on it.

Well, that's what I'm trying to tell them. I'm like, you know, I got some stuff going on too. I don't think they know that with the podcast here. I know it's Nate land, but other people live here. Yeah, that is true. Well, maybe we'll get, you can get a poster over there. Yeah. We'll change that one out to, you know, Dusty something, whatever it is.

Yeah. You know. This was a fan contest. Abigail asked the Facebook fan page to come up with some AI-related photos, and this was the winner. I had to ask somebody this was the winner. Um, I had to ask somebody what, who was who here, but can you tell Nate?

Yeah. How could you not tell me? Bates, dusty Aaron. Apparently I'm a raccoon. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know why you're a raccoon.

And I thought mine was a mouse. Is it not a mouse? It's a squirrel. It's a squirrel. I understand now. I could see that. And then, what are you, like a fat tiger? Just a fat cat, I think.

Because you like cats. Or you have a cat. Oh, yeah, you have a cat. That's a nice. Yeah. No real reason for me to be a raccoon. That was a cat that should be on Ozempic. You kind of behave like a raccoon.

But raccoons really wash all their food. They're pretty clean animals. I think they don't trust the system. Yeah, that's right. I get that. They live off the grid, for sure. They only come out at night. Yeah.

That's the shirt you wore on SNL, I'm told. The flower. Oh, on the bear. On the bear. Oh, that's cool. You know what? I almost wore that jacket today. I wish you had.

Laura talking me out of it. I wore this because I thought I was like, I wear kind of a fancy jacket. You know, figure it's the first one. But this is still fancy. Yeah. This one's considered fancy. But, yeah, here we are. We're excited.

This is at the lab at Zany's. And, yeah, it's, you know, we've done, what is this, 210 episodes? I think so. And so, a long time. And, you know, I guess people, you know, but this is one you're not going to bully me out of, like doing an hour podcast. This is out of my house. That's right. So, y'all, there ain't no voting to get it back in my home.

Oh, yeah. Okay. I didn't know what you were saying, but I get it now. Yeah. Yeah. The people, they're not going to be like, got it. You got to get back to your house. Yeah. Next thing you know, we, but I get it now. Yeah. Yeah, the people, they're not going to be like, got it. You got to get back to your house. Yeah.

And the next thing you know, we're all back at your house. Yeah. You guys wanted it back at the house. We've switched it. These are some pictures of just the build process. I think people are probably excited about that. And a good map in case you need to get around. This is old Hickory.

Yeah. That is a great, it is a great, great thing. The generation's a good, we got Adrian is in here. My sister Abigail, Laura, there's, we got, the whole Nateland crew did a great job and we are excited excited to be here uh uh zanies is the best and it's yeah it i mean it feels good to be in a studio it feels different it does yeah this is amazing yeah aaron how'd you feel when for four years you've been just hanging out with your buds and then they said what if we did it from where aaron's wife works I didn't even think about that till right now,

Brian, but yeah, I guess we're going to see a lot more of each other. Yeah. Yeah. Is that good? Oh no. We'll find out soon.

Your kid will be running around in here. Yeah, I guess so. And this table I'm told, uh, is Dusty. You want to guess what this is? Well,

I, I already read the paper. Oh. I mean, ambrosia. Does everybody have that? Pine. It's wood for sure. Red maple ambrosia.

Oh, wow. Isn't ambrosia a snack? It's like a potluck, like a dish you would bring. Ambrosia? You don't know what I'm talking about? I do not. I don't think so. That's a fancy.

I trust you on that. That's a fancy. It sounds like a Notre Dame family. I don't think it is a fancy thing I think it's like a kind of a redneck like pasta salad type thing Ambrosia? I would have known about it

Well there's pork in it I don't think they'd use that big of a word for a redneck pasta salad pork growing up Ambrosia You've never seen this though? I would call that a fruit salad yeah no one's that's what's so great about it because yeah it is you would say it is a redneck thing but you make it the name no one on earth in alabama except your family is calling that

you try that ambrosia in there yeah like what no i don't know who's that it's my sister who's my aunt ambrosia it's my cousin's girlfriend ambrosia welcome yeah she's in the picture one year not in it the next year doing some jail time yeah she'll be back she's in it every other year that's like a fruit salad covered in mayonnaise, right? Is that what that is? I don't know if it's mayonnaise. I think it's marshmallows. Maybe it's mayonnaise.

I don't know. I feel like there is a lot of different weird kind of mayonnaise-y fruit things. You know, like pear salad. So that's what this table's made out of. Well, apparently, I'm reading here, it's red maple, but the ambrosia is the discoloring. Okay. And the tree does that to fight off the beetles. These little marks are beetles trying to

get in there. So this is not initials down here. I thought this was the guy who built the table. LF. I figured you'd already carved your initials down here. Well, he might. Was that a no? No initials. It says LF down here, so the beetles really get in there there and they're like, I want them to know I was here. Yeah.

That Beatle had a name. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, look, this is, yeah, it's interesting. It'll be fun to see what everybody thinks because it was, you know, we were like, should we announce it that we are switching or whatever and it's just been busy uh and so it was like you know what let's just do it one day yeah it's kind of fun yeah it's awesome you know so if you were if you were about doing the podcast i think you're can officially click off now it's a perfect if you go if you if you

felt like we're jumping the shark we're giving you uh you know this is a good time. It's a perfect, if you go, if you felt like we're jumping the shark, we're giving you, you know, this is a good time to go. Well, if you were just like listening for the aesthetic of the last podcast room, it's like, you're not really a listener. You're like a watcher. Yeah. Well, they might be, you know, and then maybe they go, I'm going to start listening.

Yeah. But we hope people come watching. This is, I mean,'m going to start listening. Yeah. But we hope people come watching. This is, I mean, it's a beautiful studio. Yeah. With a real deal, man. This is like a real thing. Yeah. It's a real thing.

People are listening to this. Yeah. I mean, this is like, you know, in a brand new studio. This is, you know, this podcast is the first to happen in a brand new studio. Yeah. Yeah. We're here. It's big time. Exciting things around the corner. Setting the tone. Yeah. That new studio. Yeah. Yeah. It's big time. It's big time.

Exciting things around the corner. Setting the tone. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. All right. That's it. Do we have other information?

Oh, another one we should announce. So, I'll do it. You had said that the ambrosia beetle comes into this wood and that's why the tree is named the ambrosia tree. But what if... I think I had that wrong. It's a red maple tree.

Ambrosia is the discoloring. Oh, okay. Because the beetle's done that. Yeah. I don't think we're going to talk that much about it. Well, I wanted to clear it up. I appreciate it. In case anybody was out here going, oh, well.

That's gross. Here's what that looks like if you're interested. Oh, yeah. That's got to be the larva, though. Maybe. Or this is what they look like. I think that's got to be the larva of the beetle. Either way, that's going on on this table right now.

So we do have guests. Yeah. Yeah, we have a setup. We will be to have some guests and add a guest. You know, if someone's in town, it's kind of fun. Yeah. Other little news is the Nate Land Podcast Network.

We have started that. The idea of it would be obviously we're going to build a network of podcasts. The stuff that fits into this. I would like to Nate Land a slogan that we've been bouncing around is good clean funny and so

the idea of it is to make more stuff like this i don't think there's a lot of comedy podcasts especially that with comics that is clean that you can listen to where your whole family's in there and that's the idea of doing it and the first podcast we have uh added to the nateland podcast network is don't Make Me Come Back There with Dustin and Melissa Nickerson. Dustin Nickerson, you've heard Aaron mocked him. Yeah.

Worst impression I've ever heard. That's his biggest credit. Yeah, that was a big draw. A lot of people came out to see how real it was. Dustin has been on the road with me a bunch. He's been traveling around a lot. He also opened for Taylor Thompson a bunch.

And then he's really doing, Dustin's doing a great thing. And him and his wife are super fun. They wrote a book together. They wrote a book together. They record it weekly in San Diego. They have three kids, 17-year-old boy and two girls. Uh, each week they

dive into the funny realities of parenting, marriage, childhood, siblings, and so much more. Uh, it's funny. It's a little bit serious. It's the best way to handle family. And so we're pumped to have that there because it's, they're ready there. They've, they've been doing this already. So they, they already have a ton of lists. It's not like it's something out of obscurity. It's like this is a well-loyaled machine that's just going to... It's already going. Yeah. And Dustin has just been killing it on the road.

And we think if you like this, you're going to like that. And that's what we're hoping to... This is the beginning. This is the beginning. Our Dustin will bring us all down. So it could go a couple of ways. And that's what's fun. Sign back here is hand whittled and painted.

Did you say that? Uh-uh. Oh, I should have. It's a big deal. It wasn't AI. That's the real. We had a guy. I like the idea that the guy was whittling it.

Now, I know that is the term, but it just... Whittling seems so old school. Sitting on a porch with a knife. Yeah, to quote Brian, of a bygone era. Yeah. Whittling. And the map... I said that.

Old Hickory. Okay. It is of old Hickory. I said that at the beginning. Is the wood from this sign hickory wood? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It's very old hickory. Yeah. It's hickory. Yeah. Old hickory. Old hickory on top of old hickory. Yeah. Can you do wood?

You could really tell the difference of a lot of wood. You're a wood guy? I don't think so. I mean, I could probably tell the difference of a lot of wood. You're a wood guy? I don't think so. I mean, I could probably tell the difference in some. I have trouble when people even just say near that oak tree. Oh, like trees. Yeah, I can tell a few trees. I'm better at it than I was.

You tell if something's good wood or bad wood? You knock on a lot of wood? Are we talking trees or like actual wood? Just walking through a building, do you knock on a lot of wood? No, I don't think so. Just kind of lot of wood? No, I don't think so. Just kind of feel it out? No, I don't. I don't really. I'm not like that.

You know, I go buy some wood at the Home Depot and I can be like, this wood's warped. I'm not getting this. Well, warp's easy to see if it's shaped differently. Yeah, I mean, or if it's rotted. It's got ambrosia in it. Yeah, I mean, or if it's rotted. There you go.

It's got ambrosia in it. Yeah. Something like that. Beatles. Yeah, now I know if it has LF, I know what to look for. Beatles to get into it. There's a little bit of a, that's a little bit of a, it's not an L on that one, but still kind of an F. Yeah.

They got a real pattern about them, these Beatles. We're off to the races here at the new studio. Yeah, I mean a real pattern about them. All right. We're off to the races here at the new studio. Yeah, you guys are asking me about wood. I'm telling you about beetles and somehow, you know,

you guys are tuning out. Well, there's a, I'll help you out, Dusty. There's a scene in Tombstone, which I think only you and I have seen, the big pivotal scene where Johnny Ringo

challenges Wyatt Earp to a duel. And they say, meet by the old oak tree down at whatever. And I thought, if that was me, I would never make it because I wouldn't know which one's an oak. Yeah. Yeah. Probably good.

But I bet you'd find the ballpark of it and then go, I bet, you know, they go, did you know it was an oak tree? He goes, I saw people standing around faster than I saw the tree. So I walked over there. And I think that's what, that's what, that's how that would go. You're walking through the woods going, Johnny, Johnny, I don't know what the oak tree is trying to gunfight you. And when people say it's by the oak tree oak trees do they not come in packs do they stand alone uh i think they say it's good to have like three oak trees planted near each other because their roots will intertwine and it'll make them sturdier against the wind just like us

and uh i think a tree like that that's kind of on its own yeah but like yeah because i mean if you're pointing it out to go it's over by that oak tree well you're i mean there's a lot of trees you know what's the most common tree what about the tree and well pine tree oak tree is a real american tree i believe it's uh it's it's the best tree to have yeah red maple is the most common in the united states the oak's the best to have though because it's uh the most insects this is United States. The oak's the best to have, though, because it's the most insects. This is red maple? This is red maple in Ambrosia. Yeah.

So we got the most common one. The oak is the U.S.'s national tree, though. Yeah, it's a real American. I didn't know we had a national tree. Yeah. We got an animal. We got a flag. We got a song.

We got a tree as well. Mm-hmm. Yeah, oak tree. I think it's a native tree and it's like that it gets the most insects the most birds the most animals house in the oak tree i almost read a whole book about oak trees i read a good bit of it you like i got enough yeah i get it did it start getting repetitive? Yeah. I mean, after a while,

it's like, yeah. How long can this book be? What would a pine tree book be about? It's like, same thing, just says oak. It's pine.

We just put pine in there. Yeah. I don't, but I don't think the pine is housing as many animals. Pine's good for building. A lot of wood that you buy is pine. You know, real long trees

yeah get good lumber out of it yeah a lot of trees uh all right well this is it this is i think it's a little weird just because we're sitting in a different way i will say it's it's it's gonna take a second to adjust to the physical dynamic in the room right now. Yeah, we've all gotten used to the way we were sitting, and now we're sitting in a different way, and I feel like it is making conversation more difficult. I'm fine putting you and Aaron

back on that side. Our backs to the camera the whole time. I think that would be great. I like that. Where's Aaron laying at? People wouldn't talk about my face. I'm going to find the Aaron laying. I think that's the Aaron laying camera right there.

There's Aaron laying. None of these seem to be pointing at me. Yeah. Well, we're trying to. Oh, it is? We got a general idea of where you're at. I think the audience can feel it. The people at home, they just, they close their eyes.

Even if they're not watching they go i bet i know where he's at i bet one side of them is empty uh he doesn't know where he's at yeah uh well we're gonna start off with you guys uh some comments uh this is the first comics read in the new studio uh brian trump uh aaron i was at your show this weekend where the lady groaned when you said you'd stick around for meet and greet in her defense it was the biggest yawn i've ever seen not a groan but i'm not sure if that makes you feel better or worse you absolutely killed it though thanks for the unbelievable all right oh that's fun i was in cincinnati i one of those yeah yeah, you know,

I didn't really think she was. But I said, hey, I'll be, if you want to say hi after the show, and then I just hear, like right after that. Yeah. It was a funny thing.

She said hi after. Thank you, Brian Trump. You think that's been fun having that name? Yeah. You know, I don't know. I mean,

I wonder if he's in a super common name. Sometimes it's probably fun for him. And other times it's pretty awful. Yeah. Yeah. If it out of the Trump family, it's a Brian, the Brian Trump, you'd be like, you're not that close with him. He goes, no, I'm not. Exactly.

My name's Brian. Yeah. Imagine being like, it doesn't fit. And you're poor. Yeah. Like a poor Brian. Yeah, imagine being a Trump. Like it doesn't fit. And you're poor. Yeah. You're like a poor Trump. Yeah. You're Brian Trump.

Yeah. Brian Trump. This would be, yeah. Yeah. All right. Brian Trump. Shay Sargent. We know Dusty's position on microwaves.

Please ask him about the use of tanning beds. Tanning beds expose users to UV light. Both microwaves and ultraviolet light are forms of radiation. Ultraviolet light has more energy than microwaves, and that higher energy can be more harmful. Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to advocate for tanning beds. You know, I have used a lot of tanning beds, but I've also used a lot of microwaves. You love a tanning bed though.

I do like a tanning bed. Will you go to a tanning bed? I haven't been in years, but I used to go a lot. Really? I love a tanning bed. I don't think I've ever been in a tanning bed. Me either. It's like the last thing I think you would do.

Yeah. I mean, I don't do it now. You do mostly spray tans now? No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm dusty I don't do it now. You do mostly spray tans now? No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm dusty.

Why would you go into this dusty truck? No, I... It does a little red. I lay in the sun. I got a chair. I go lay out in the sun and I think it's great.

I love it. But yeah, I mean, I like a tanning bed too in the wintertime when you can't get any sun. Go out, get a little... I think... I don't...

I mean... How many dudes do you think go to a tanning bed? Like, and if you go to a tanning bed. In this part of the country? If you go to a tanning bed place. All the bodybuilders are in there. Yeah, those kind of guys. I mean, that's, that's, yeah.

Me and those guys are in there getting jacked up. That's right. I'm like. Yeah. I'm like, I see them lift and I go, I'll see you in the tanning bed. Yeah. GTL. You have a nice, tidy, white tan lamp.

No, that's why you do the tanning. Yeah. No. He's got socks. No tan lines. He's got his socks halfway up, and he's got some Hanes. What do you mean there's no tan lines? Are you naked in there?

Yeah. You don't get fully naked in a tanning bed. For sure. No. Yeah, you're in a room alone. Did don't get fully naked in a tanning bed. For sure. No. Yeah, you're in a room alone. Did they know you were naked? Did you tell them? Yeah, that's what you do. No, I don't go, hey, I was naked in there.

Come on, I'm going to wipe that down. You get a fire hose come in after you. You hear the generator start and they got to get it all. There's spray and everything for you to wipe them down. You wear the generator start and they got to get it all. But, you know, there's spray and, you know, everything for you to wipe them down. You wear the little goggles on your eyes? I do wear those.

So you're fully naked, little things in your eyes, and that's how you tan? Yeah. Are you sure you're supposed to do it that way? Yeah, that is how you're supposed to do it. Okay. I don't do really do the tanning bed. And this, you know, this shay is probably right here uh but um i you know i think that if you were to lay in a microwave uh if you it would you would be dead

in 30 seconds yeah if you were to lay in a fireplace it'd be a problem too well sure yeah but she's comparing the microwave and the in the well. Well, they're both, yeah, they have forms of radio. I can't imagine. They're both safe is what she said. Well, yeah, but it's like, listen, I put things, when I was a kid, I would, you know, I killed a lot of insects. And I would put, sometimes put insects in the microwave just to see what would happen. Yeah, yeah. They die in seconds.

Right. So, I've laid in a tanning bed for 20 minutes before. So there's a difference. I'll tell you what, some of that did that microwaves insects. You, out of all the people on earth that microwaves insects, you might be the only one of them that has also been in a tanning bed. I really believe that. I really believe that.

I don't know a lot of people that have microwave insects. I know. Exactly. Most of believe that. I don't know a lot of people that have microwave insects. I know. Exactly. Most of them go other routes. Yeah. Because that's crazy. Yeah. A little ambient noise there.

Little sounds of Nashville right there. Little sounds of Nashville. It's Peter on the way. It's trees. So the microwaves would be, your family's got to eat, you know. Cold food. They just eat cold food. Yeah you gotta, your family's gotta eat, you know, cold food. Well, my, you know, my, yeah, not, not in my family's house. I mean, my, my parent, my dad and stepmom, you know, probably used the microwave.

Exclusively microwaves. I used to put insects in ice trays too. And I would freeze them in the ice cubes. And I just like to see what was going on with it. You know, my stepmom went in there to get some ice one time. There's a bunch of insects in there yeah well yeah you have friends yeah yeah i mean i was on a real path yeah at some point but yeah turned out good though yeah it turned out great yeah britney rima

it all makes sense like it all like you know i think people just go like yeah yeah britney rima or rima a rima i hope it's rima britney rima i can't even tell you how much i relate to brian during the ad reading talking about getting p on the shorts and then trying to get a word in to explain himself i don't relate to the b thing but saying something and then trying to dig myself out of a hole and explain myself. Anyways, thanks for having the best podcast. Yeah, so last week I referenced something from Dusty's podcast where I heard Dusty talking about how he likes his VOR shorts. Because if you pee on your shorts, it doesn't show as much. That's true.

It dries quick. Yeah. Which has been a problem for me throughout my life. Yeah. But then he's like, what are you talking about? Like, he played dumb on me to make it look like I was. You're burying the lead here. Okay.

We were in the middle of a timed ad read. And he goes. And Dusty's reading. And he goes, yeah, the shorts are great. And Brian just goes, yeah, did you pee yourself? And we were like, hold on. Let's finish the ad read. And he went with a brand.

He goes, you pee your Bugle Boys. That's what really threw me. He came right out with the Bugle Boys. I thought that was the brand you said. You know, who knows? But I used to have a Bugle Boy joke. You know, so who knows? Yeah.

Sorry I missed it. We get into it when you're gone, man. Last week's topic was trash. So we got- Did an episode on trash. Oh. Yeah. You'd actually liked it, I think.

I think I would have. Yeah. He only does the good ones when I'm not here. John Janigian. Janigian. That's too many I's. John Janigian. Janigian. Janigian. Janigian. That's too many I's. John Janigian. Janigian.

Janigian. Janigian. John Janigian. I like that. That's, yeah, that's the John thing doesn't help. Bruce Janigian would have probably been. Yeah. You know.

Hard consonant there. Yeah. It'd be tough if he married a lady named Jan. Jan Janigian. John Janigian. Yeah. You know, uh, hard consonant there. Yeah. Be tough. If you married a lady named Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan,

Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan,

Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, I can confirm Kevin Garnett is a prolific trash talker. I attended a basketball camp. He was hosted in the late 90s. After witnessing me botch a layup, he said I had big, goofy ears and walked away to another part of the court. Needless to say, I never played or followed basketball much after that event. Wow.

Dang, John. That's pretty great. I would like to see these ears though yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean it might have been like he would have been silly not to say something maybe it got in the way of his layout i guess his ear blocked it yeah do you think that anybody kevin granite's camp goes hey they are paying to attend this. He is eight. So maybe let's maybe hold back on, you know. Yeah. It costs $300 or whatever it is.

Yeah, it's fine to trash talk another professional when you're playing the game. Yes. But a young child trying to learn basketball. Trying to meet his hero. Yeah. Big goofy ears. Ben Michael. Michelle. It could be Ben Michelle.

I am a garbage man. It's probably Michael. I don't think of Michelle as a garbage man. Ben Michelle. There ain't no Michelle family ankle. Law enforcement officers at times contact my employer and ask for me to contact them. When I'm 45 minutes away from the customer, they are investigating. I call them and set up a place to meet.

When I put the trash in the hopper, I make sure not to pack it. I then meet them and transfer the trash to their vehicle. The nice officer gives me 20 for my time. Wow. It's not for my time. Wow. It's not a bad deal. Yeah. Is that legal? So if you commit a crime and there's stuff in your trash, all you got to do is tip the trash guy $40.

Yeah. That's right. Yeah. I'll give you $100 and I want to see it. Yeah. Just burn your trash. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Just burn your trash. Yeah. So he puts it. Yeah. So he puts it, yeah, give you 20 bucks, and then I get your trash. Why can't they just go grab the trash? Because it's too obvious that they're investigating. They got to do it like. I think the trash is still in their possession, so it's theirs. Yeah.

Well, last week we talked about it. I think they should get more than $20. Yeah, I think so too. Yeah. Well, last week we talked about it. I think they should get more than $20. Yeah, I think so too. Yeah. Depending on the crime they're investigating. Yeah, I don't think it matters. We can't get in the weeds of this. Cops are probably not making very much money either, though.

But they're asking them to do, yeah. I guess $20 is like it's lunch. You're like, I got your lunch today. Yeah. And it can't be. I mean, how often? I mean, how often? I mean, what are they doing?

Five times a day? They're just dealing with the garbage man. I mean, it's got to be probably eight times a year. Yeah, maybe. You don't have a budget. Ben's like, I think there's some evidence in this other trash can too. Where are you going to say? I don't know.

There you go. I don't even know i said anything i thought you did uh oh yeah i said that last week we talked about uh they do have the right once you put your trash out as long as it's away from your house then the supreme court case where they ruled that police do have a right to come go through your trash. Yeah, so I bet they're just trying to be like, we could go get it, but we don't want to make it obvious that we're, we don't want to tip them off that we're investigating.

Because if you see cops digging in your trash and you know you've killed a guy, you're like, oh no, I bet they're on to me. If I killed a guy and I've got're like, oh no, I bet they're on to me. If I killed a guy and I've got his body in the trash can, I'm probably gonna, probably gonna take that

to the dump or somewhere else myself. I don't think it's the body that they're looking for. His clothes or something. Recycling bin. Uh, yeah.

His phone. I'm thinking like a receipt or something. Yeah, I think it's like to put you, you know, it's like your, it's probably bank stuff.

No, paperwork, paperwork. Yeah, you shred those. You shred them. Well, I think it's like to put you, you know, it's like you're, it's probably bank stuff. No, paperwork. Paperwork. Yeah, you shred those. You shred them. Well, I think people, you know, you make one mistake, they get you. Cam, my in-laws refused to spend money on normal garbage bags. Instead, they would use grocery store plastic bags. Then New Jersey stopped providing bags for customers.

Not to worry, my father-in-law started walking through the produce section stealing plastic produce bags to use as garbage bags. At least this helps to explain why my wife tears

tears paper towels and I have to save money. Evidently, cheapness is hereditary. Hereditary. Is that it? Yeah. Hereditary. That's pretty crazy. Those are the weakest bags I can that it? Yeah. Hereditary.

That's pretty crazy. Those are the weakest bags I can think of. Yeah. Like the bags you put apples and stuff in. I mean, that's thin. That's like half ply plastic. I think you're just, yeah. Trash bags are really not that pricey.

It's probably, I would say a bathroom trash can. Yeah. Where it's something kind of- A small little trash can. A small trash can. Maybe not their big ones. kind of- A small little trash can. A small trash can. Maybe not their big one. The little ones, and they're really not that pricey. I mean, it's like, how often are you throwing that trash out?

Well, not everybody's a public figure like yourself. Yeah, that's true. Public figure's really been taken off. I mean, it's become a big thing now. Yeah. You're out there. People have been calling me public figure out here now. Proving your point.

Yes, exactly. Yeah. We've got a lovely town here in Nashville. We heard another siren, if you're wondering. Yeah. I would imagine they heard it. We do have a lovely town. We have a wonderful town.

Grace McKinney, our parakeet gabby uh don't know if you needed to give us the name oh i guess maybe i'm hold on our parakeet gabby flew into a frying pan while mom was frying bacon gabby lived several years longer and he smelt like bacon until the day he died he had a little curled up foot he favored on his perch and gabby who used to say i'm gabby i'm a good bird never said another word as long as he lives keep up the great words guys that's funny wow we had we had a bird i think that went to frying pan too really maybe don't name uh your your male bird Gabby. Was it a male?

It's a P. Short for Gabrielle. Yeah, but you don't give a bird a full name and then a nickname, huh? You're probably just going easy, you know. Gabby, like Gab, it's got the gift of gab. Maybe there's, you know, there's a talks. There you go. It's a little talkative little Gabby.

It might have named itself. Maybe that's not even his name. He's like, I'm Gabby. Yeah. Until you let me go into the bacon. Yeah. Yeah. You talked about that one time that you had a bird going to the frying pan. What is it about?

Is it the sound you think of frying bacon that they are attracted to or what? What's going on? Maybe they hate their life. How dumb are these birds uh and are you letting your bird loose in the kitchen like this that's pretty crazy yeah i think they probably just maybe you're there and then they come land near you okay and then you're just like and then it just happens quick these microwave insects and it's that's like he's microwaving insects and he's acting like he's baffled by this because our parakeet or our cockatiel never got into uh the frying pan you had a cockatiel

for a short time you remember the name wilford i don't know if we even named it but it just would sit by the it go all the time i was like we got it sounds like a nightmare this is so cool and then like a couple of days later we were like ah we hate this you let it loose i think somebody took it what'd you did you get uh put it near the weed eater see what'll happen yeah yeah we let it fly into the weed eater the uh i think we just gave it to a guy you know we bought it for like bucks. I think it was a big purchase for us. And then we were like, you take it. It's like they always say, the best two days of owning a cockatoo, the day you buy it, the day you sell it.

I can attest. Paul M.E. Mueller. Paul M.E. Mueller. I feel like we've had Paul. I think we have. I think I know Paul. Oh. Mueller. Paul M.E. Mueller. I feel like we've had Paul. I think I know Paul. The best way to make the Olympics interesting is to root for countries' top

scores in medals per million citizens. The United States, with over 330 million people, won 108 medals, but only got a score of.33. However, the Bahamas got two medals and they only have 393,000, so their score was 5.08.

I do a contest where we each pick five countries and see who can get the highest total score. There you go. That's kind of funny. It's impossible for the U.S. to win then, I guess. Yeah. Is the Olympics not interesting to begin with?

I think I'm just saying that America dominates. Last week, Dusty said, yeah, it's hard to just saying that america dominates last week dusty said yeah it's hard to get into it because america dominates so he's saying this is a nice way to even it out uh yeah yeah it's interesting yeah i don't know if they i mean yeah i don't know are you pumped for the olympics this year uh yeah i mean I'll watch, yeah, some Olympics are fun. Like, I mean, there'd be,

there'd be good, you know, track, track stuff. I mean, I don't know what stars, the basketball team, this basketball team

was lost to South Sudan. Yeah. Not even the regular Sudan. There's not a single indoor basketball court in the country of South Sudan. Is it,

is it not like the top players of the NBA on the basketball team oh yeah it's most of them yeah oh they just it was exhibition they just can't get motivated yeah and we won dude we won in the end yeah 101 to 100 it's yeah it's that mean you got that. You got the women's basketball. They, I mean, it would have been must-see TV, to be honest, if Kaitlin Clark was on it. I think that would have been a... I heard that one of the players went on the injured list

and that they opened up a new spot for potentially Kaitlin Clark to get on the Olympic team. Yeah. But no word if that's happened yet. Yeah, I don't think it's going. It is pretty wild, though. It would be, everybody would watch it. Oh, yeah.

If she were on it. Oh, every, yeah, yeah. I've watched a lot of Fever Games. I record them, and I've watched. Yeah. Which if you said five years ago, you said you were doing that, you'd think, you know that's insane yeah it'd be crazy you would have said the indiana who yeah it's uh yeah it would be insane

but yeah it's great i mean just out of the pure i don't and they've won a gold medal like since 96 because they drop off you know like the u.s dominates yeah yeah So they're going to win. I don't think women are even allowed to play basketball in most countries. We're one of four countries where women can play sports. It's like we better dominate. He goes, yeah. I don't know if Sudan is

how they're going to get to the game. They can't drive. I don't know anything about Sudan. Sudan's probably they can drive. It's a beautiful place, I'm sure. I bet it is. Your brother's probably doing mission work there. See, that's worse than what I'm saying. I'm saying it's a beautiful place. You're saying...

Adam Rinking. Brian recently started learning to swim as an adult. He admitted it on the podcast I'm curious, what one skill the rest of you don't have That most people learn as a child? No one

Everybody, we learned it as He was born 50 So He just didn't, they didn't have fools back then Well, you learned reading later in life I did learn reading You're actually That being said, that is i'm actually about to

start taking a reading uh online class so really because i don't think i comprehend reading i don't i really it's there's this uh there's a thing called quick reading it's it's about like it's k-w-i-k it's like just a class i don't know what it is. It's crazy they don't spell the word correctly. Well, it's the guy's last name. So his last name is Quick. And so I was going to do, now that I'm off, I was going to do this to increase. Reading slows me down.

Just to comprehend, all that kind of stuff. So I'm thinking I'm going to do that. And that's probably worse than swimming, to be honest. So that being said, I'm making kind of stuff. So I'm thinking I'm going to do that. So that is, and that's probably worse than swimming, to be honest. So that being said, I'm making fun of you. But when you grew up, there were a few awards. Well, did y'all have two different pools? Or am I wrong?

Well, I don't know about that. But when my, back to the women's basketball, when my sister played, she's five years older than I am, like in junior high, it was half court. Half the women stayed on defense and half stayed on offense at each court. So there's 10? I don't know if there was 10, or I guess maybe there was, but women's basketball used to be different where they split it up.

This was all women's basketball, not just Lebanon? I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I don't know. I've never heard this. What do you mean? I don't understand what you mean. I don't know if there were 10 or not, but instead of just everybody playing offense and defense, half of them would play defense and just stay down there, and the other half would play offense. If you get a rebound, then you throw it down to your offensive player.

Yeah. So it's like two separate games on each side of the court. Yeah. I mean, for a lot of running. Is it too hard for them to run? I don't know the reasoning behind it, but. Was it because they were all pregnant? And they didn't want to.

He can't have these women running back and forth there it goes I don't know but I think that was all women's basketball I mean up until something time in the 1970s

wow good night where are you from I mean I never heard that before in my life I mean I'm Aaron would you mind

looking that up I'm not saying I know the history of it but I never heard that. Maybe it was just a Lebanon thing or maybe it was just something for my sister.

Like, you just stay down there. I mean, because I remember going to basketball games in the 90s, high school, when they were, you know, those girls were running up and down the court.

Yeah. So six-on-six basketball or basket is a largely archaic variant of basketball usually played by women and girls. Same rules as regular basketball, but they have six players each instead of five uh the no three-point line is this maybe what you yeah that sounds right

the office of civil rights started banning six on six high school girls basketball took 37 years to phase it out so you're on the tail end of this, Brian, I think. Well, that's Lebanon for you. Six on six. I don't understand why the Office of Civil Rights had to get involved with it. Yeah, I don't know. It seems like you just decide to make a rule change. You go, you know, we'd like to do this just in the five on five.

Yeah. Yeah, I think that was it. I don't know why the civil rights office of civil rights got involved with this. I think Adam Rain King had a comment last week. I think so, too. I remember the name. Well, it's got good comments. I don't know what to say.

But yeah, I don't know of any skill that most people learn that I can't whistle. I can't whistle either. Yeah. But I don't know if that's a skill. I think so. I think everybody learns to whistle. Yeah. See, I can't.

I wish I could go like. Yeah. Can you whistle on key, like whistle a song? I don't know songs, but. If he knew a song, I don't know songs, but... If he knew a song, he would... What's Andy Griffith's the... Yeah. Yeah.

You were doing Andy Griffith? That was Andy Griffith. Yeah, I'm not talking about you. I had two totally different songs. What was I singing? You were doing Mayberry RFD or something. Because that was... Mayberry RFD. Yeah.

You were doing it when it was in color. Yeah. The Andy Griffith Show. Starring Andy Griffith. Ron Howard. With Don Knotts. Also starring Ron Howard. Aaron, do you have the email for this next one?

Ronnie Howard. I do have the email for the next one. So no one has any other... You learned everything, I guess. I got to tie my shoes later than most people. Really? It took me a while to tie my shoes. And I still do it differently than most people.

I do... I make bunny ears with both of them and then tie it. Okay. But other than that, pretty advanced. Yeah. Learn most stuff. I do have a swimming...

Oh, I don't have the Wi-Fi in here. I was going to send you a little short video of me trying to practice swimming. I think we get it. I think we all... everybody just flailing. Well, in the video, a little kid passes me, so it was kind of funny. Yeah.

But you could, yeah. So you're racing kids now in lessons? No, this was just my instructor wanted to show me what I was doing wrong. And in the video video you see a kid another lane just kind of bypass do you feel like you have an instinct for it do you feel like there's any kind of natural you just kind of get you're in the water you get it let me teach how to swim yeah okay yeah patreon extra what did you say was wrong with you that you're too old to not

know how to swim well it's a she and yeah that is my biggest problem yeah my mom can't swim and she took swimming lessons when i was a kid probably not not even making a joke probably your age now and it was she couldn't do it yeah it was she was too afraid of the water at that point and anytime she would have like a you know like she tried to like she was learning pretty good and then she kind of slipped on the side and she got off balance in the water and couldn't get it. And they had to like dive in and catch her. And it's like. But you're now, if you got pushed in the pool, you can get out.

Yeah, if I'm right beside the wall. Yeah. I can swim. I mean, I'm still. It's not coming naturally. It's a lot like his mom. We're not supposed to be in water, so I'll give you that. It's a struggle. You wouldn't know that if you saw me in the water, though.

You would think. We are built for the water, man. That's what I'm water. It's Olympic time. You guys need to get on with it. We're going to do it. I'm just going to swim freestyle. I'm very fast.

You mean like this? Yeah. Yeah, all right. I'm very fast. I mean, I'm pretty fast. I mean, you just had to clarify what freestyle meant. I don't trust your ability. I'm not saying I.

Freestyle, you talking about this one? Yeah, I mean, that doesn't mean that I can't swim fast. I don't know what it's called. I think so. I think it does. I don't think so't swim fast just because I don't know what it's called. I think so. I think it does. I don't think so. Yeah. It tells me you spent no time in a pool.

This is where the Notre Dame gets in the way. You don't understand that. We just learned to swim. We didn't know what it was called. Yeah. You're talking about... Okay. All right.

I mean, you're too worried about the labels and the names of things. That's like going, I'm so fast, dude. Do you sprint? Are you talking like, were you really trying? It's like, yeah, that's what a sprint is. That's exactly like that, but he still could be fast without knowing that. Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump wasn't like, I'm sprinting.

Yeah, he's a fictional character, too. Well, he also has some serious middle issues. Forrest Gump had an IQ of 68. He seemed fine to me. Dusty's just finding out. Matty Matka. Mat-ku-y.

Why? Matika? Matika. Ooh, I like that. Matt Matika. Matt Matika. Matku. Why? Matika? Matika. No. Ooh, I like that. Matt Matika. Matt Matika. I like that.

I spotted this outside of McDonald's here in northern Illinois. Had to get a Big Mac with extra sauce in his honor after seeing it. Stand-up comedy 101. What is it? The camera's on. Oh, yeah. It's a shout-out on Joe Rogan from former student Nate Bargetze. Just hosted SNL.

ComedyCollegeInfo.com. Yeah, yeah. Jim Roth. Seven-week course. Yep. He's getting the word out there. He is. I took three.

He could use a graphic designer. That's true. Yeah. I thought that looked great. Yeah. He gets the information across. There's no way he thought that looked good.

Yeah. No, but. Okay. All right. I mean, I didn't think it looked that bad. Yeah. I mean,

everything's a different font. It kind of makes no sense. I mean. See, I would do that just because like, look at all these different fonts I can do. You try to just flex that you know how to change the font. Yeah, exactly. I am. The old smiley face from Walmart is graduating here.

I can do different colors. Yeah, it's a. Roll back the prices. Yeah, that's what it looks like. Yeah. But it gets the. It's the. Yeah, yeah. You get the message across. Yeah, yeah. He does have a lot Roll back the prices. Yeah, that's what it looks like. Yeah. But it gets the... Yeah, yeah. You get the message across.

Yeah, yeah. He does have a lot of information on there. Yeah. All the information. QR code. QR code. That's true. QR code's up there.

Yeah, you're right. You're right. Yeah. And then boom. Zip tie right in the middle like that. Yeah. Go take a class. Comedy classes are...

A lot of comics don't... Some people are against them. liked them just cause you just it's at least some direction so you at least have something to go do that's gonna make you cause you sign up for something and then you just keep going uh Clayzi Bly

And I'm pumped about it.

And yeah, we have some fun stuff. I think I have some fun stuff to announce. And yeah, we have some fun stuff. I think I have some fun stuff to announce. You know, I don't know when, but it will be all before the end of this year. Ethan Holsey. Brian's default way to end every episode is to ask everyone to just name random movies about the episode topic. That is true.

That's why I can tell it's winding down. Like last week, he hasn't written movies about trash. I do trash and songs. That's right. Songs. Songs about it. I'm going to keep doing it. All right.

What's a movie about trash? There's a movie called Garbage with Martin Sheen, I think. It's just about garbage. Okay. Really? Because his two sons was the only movie I named. Men at Work, which was Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen. No. I mean, I can't believe I forgot that last week.

But yeah, I own the movie on Blu-ray, I think. It's called Garbage. Toxic Avenger. That's cool, man. And apparently there was a Disney Channel kids movie, Aaron, that everyone thought you should know. Tony Danza's a football kicker, the garbage man. I don't know. I have no idea.

Okay. Hey, I don't know. We didn't do this at the beginning. And I don't know. Maybe you guys did it some other time. But I just wanted to say I was in Richmond this last weekend at the Richmond Funny Bone. We did do that some other time. Yeah, and it was great.

On our own, we talked about it. It was a hot weekend. I got this hat from a guy in Richmond. Loved it. Friday, I opened for Alabama and Gary Allen at the Bridgestone Arena. How was that? Very fun. Yeah.

I feel like you had a big pop when you walked out. Yeah, it was good. Yeah. Yeah. You were there? No. I'm saying, did you feel like it felt nice? Oh, I thought you said you felt like it was good.

Yeah, it felt good. Yeah, it felt good. I mean- Felt like they, everybody, you were on the posters, so everybody knew. Yeah. They knew there was gonna be comedy at least. They knew there was gonna be comedy.

Yeah. Yeah. How long was you set? I did 15 minutes. 15. And, yeah, you you know and it's like sometimes 15 stuff because you're like you see the timer and you're like oh i could do this bit but i really don't have time to do right so what what smaller bits do i have but worked out was

great a lot of fun and you're a real settle in and get to know them kind of yeah so 15 could be they could be just coming around. That's true. Yeah. But Richmond, I did three shows, two sold out and we added a show on Sunday. It's close to a sellout, but it was great.

Really fun weekend. My friend Derek Humphrey did it with me. Yeah. Really fun. Yeah. Yeah. I was,

I did the American Century Championship, played golf, met a lot of, a lot of hay bears. Yeah. Yeah? Oh, yeah. Yeah, pretty cool. Like, it's, yeah, I got a ton of hay bear out there.

And playing in that was great. Shot a 79 the first day, played unbelievable. That's great. First day was great. Next two days were pretty rough. What do you think happened? I think it was an 88, 85. You think the pressure of doing really well got to you uh i think maybe a little bit like you know i mean you got to put

everything in so you're it's it's a real legit thing my goal was to get to 10 points uh last year i was at six i was like i wanted double digits and i was like well hopefully i can get to 10 and then i i did finish at 10 points but something i think i learned is i got to 10 points pretty quickly and it's like almost setting a goal if your goal is too achievable because then i think that's what happened you i i lost interest in the rest of the because you'd already because i already and it was like you know the next day i was like all right well tomorrow'm going to get to 20. But I don't think I care about,

I didn't care about that as much as I did care about the double digits. Yeah. So then you get to 10. So then it was really just a battle. I got up to 14 points because it's Stableford, so it scored a different way. But I got to 14 points and I would go back down to eight. And I ended up at, I needed a bogey.

If you get a bogey, it's zero points. And I had a bogey. Who'd you play with? First, there was Mike Golick and Rob Riggle. Oh, I like those guys. Yeah, great. And then Larry Fitzgerald Jr. and Robbie Gold. Okay.

I know those names, but I don't know those guys. I don't know any of them. Yeah. Jason Wirth, baseball player. Okay. Nationals player for Phillies. Long hair. Yeah.

He hit the ball on the last hole he played. I mean, 360? Wow. I mean, dude. Those baseball guys can get crushed. He's big, too. And so he's awesome, dude's he's a super fun dude uh long i mean the best looks like a guy that owns a couple of above ground pools

this not his hair is right there he doesn't but the way he looks now i would describe jason is like you go back to you got you got more above ground pulls than i thought and you you know you could be like why do you not just do one in the ground one and he's like because that's ridiculous i do yeah you might want to break it three dusty look there yeah i do like that jason goes yeah i do three above ground he was always now his crazy thing is is his horse he owns his horse horse won the Belmont or Preakness. He's into horse racing now. And won, which is insane. And there's video of it.

He showed us. Look at a little kid rock here. Yeah. Well, he showed us the video. He was so much fun. He's a very, very fun person. And super nice. But, I mean, yeah, he got so much fun. He's a very, very fun person. And super nice. And just, yeah.

But, I mean, yeah, he got into this horse racing. I mean, dude, to get a horse and to have it win, I think it was the Preakness, is pretty crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah. I did audience warm-up for Huckabee this weekend, as I do from time to time. And I get done with the warm-up, and I go upstairs to the green room,

and there's two guys sitting there at the table, and one of them is Cuba Gooding Jr. And, you know, usually whoever the big star is or whatever, they kind of stay at their separate dressing room, but he's just hanging out. He compliments me on my set. He's not with some entourage not even looking at his phone just kind of hanging out so i said if you uh wouldn't mind maybe after the show if i could get a photo he said just go ahead and do it now i said okay so the other guy's there the other guy

says do you meet take the photo and kuba says no let's just do a selfie that'll be fun he was a very nice guy and it was super cool i felt a little bad because the other guy who i didn't realize at the time was kevin sorbo who's had a pretty great acting career of himself that's hercules yeah yeah i actually know him you do yeah my dad knows him we didn't like uh i saw him not too long ago that you could have talked to him for a very long time well i did I did.

So yeah. All right.

That's awesome, man. Real quick. I was in Cincinnati Commonwealth sanctuary. I had never been to this place. It's like an old church that they converted into a comedy club. So it's pretty cool. Stained glass windows. There's an organ in there.

They let me play, play a church organ for, I kind of overstayed my welcome on it. I think they thought, you know, yeah, you can dabble around on on it i sat there for like an hour playing yeah it was awesome but uh during your show no between how you get to an hour no it was between shows between people are coming in no no just like there's a gap between shows i exaggerated with an hour but yeah did five shows they were great all of them but one were pretty dang full dude so that was that was an awesome what happened with that one what what late show late show friday man yeah late show friday none of them were bad though yeah it was just just a little lighter than the rest of them

when that happens i like to let them know i go hey the other shows are sold out just so you know like i'm like i'm not upset with you that this one's not but i want you to know that i am selling tickets yeah i think i said that at one point and they laughed yeah no they were thinking like well obviously the other ones i can't be i just want you to know you've not come to a bad show i don't know what happened here but it's going to be good people do buy tickets to the show yeah this particular one they didn't buy a lot y'all didn't make a mistake yeah they did yeah yeah not buying tickets they get yeah you lecture them well i just want them to know that you know that they they're in the right place i want them to really regret that they showed up i don't yeah that well that's what i'm saying though i don't

i'm not mad at them of course but i want them to know they have made a good decision. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, it was a good weekend. Cincinnati. Yeah. All right. Today, I thought with the new set, it'd be a great time to talk about change.

Of the four of us, which one do you think does the best with change and the worst? I don't think I do the best. I like change. I love change. We change a lot. I'd rather have a dollar. You know what I mean? That's a joke from your first album, dude.

I didn't hear what you said. I said I'd rather have a dollar. You know what I mean? What was the joke? You said, I like change. I said I'd rather have a dollar. How did you tell it? Well, it's a long. What was the joke? You said, I like change. I said, I'd rather have a dollar. And that was your, how'd you tell it? Well, it's a long.

He closed on it. Oh. No, no. It's a long joke. It's a long bit. It's about the letter C. And he said, C makes words like jump, jump, change. And change, I'd rather have a dollar.

Yeah. Yeah. You remember that? I haven't heard that in like, yeah, dude. That's because your album comes on every time I turn on my car. Yeah. And I can't get it to stop. Yeah.

So I've heard that. I've had that happen. I had it. It was his album. I have his album. As it should be. Yeah. It would, every time I turned on my car.

Yeah. It would, that would come on. Imagine pulling up, seeing Nate at a stoplight and he's listening to Brian's album in the car by himself. I mean, all the time. Him or it'll be Vecchione some. But you were. I could not.

I just dealt with it. I just heard you every day. Just trying, you know, just listening. That's very funny. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like you've had the most. most i mean think about how much your life's changed brian since in the last five i mean you're a single guy till you're 48 right now you're married with a two-year-old daughter that's a lot of change right and it happened pretty quickly yep after i'd say you had a bit of a routine by age 48, right?

Oh, yeah. And now it's just all in shambles. So that's pretty drastic. In shambles, yeah. Yeah. Well, no, no. I mean, all your, yeah, your routines. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I think we probably all do pretty well with change, I think. I mean, we, you know, we got that. Yeah, I love, Laura does not like change. I don't think I like change. Yeah, I don't think you do. You think you need a little resistance to it, though.

You need somebody in your life going, we got to conserve some stuff. Yeah, I love change. So it's like. But if you had nobody pushing that back, it'd be a nightmare. No, it's good. Yes, it's good yes it's good but i mean i think it's uh that's what i love so much about this job is because it changes uh i don't know what's going to happen i don't know what's going to happen tomorrow like and that's like the most fun and so it's

always something you know it's like it it's very exciting yeah so i like i i yeah i like change i mean not saying i want to be moving all the time or stuff like that, but we did a lot of change. You know, my parents would, uh, we'd come home and like the living room or the kitchen or the dining room area would be their new bedroom.

And then the, then the, where the dining room was or something would be, you know, one house we had two bedroom or is a two bedroom house. So, and I think it was a dining room and then, uh,

yeah. So two, so they would switch like, you know, like other work kitchen table was, was just my parents' bedroom for a little while. Or we'd come home and the couches would be moved just for the sake of switching it up yeah yes for feng shua yeah yeah i looked it up feng shui is that what it is yeah i thought you were making a joke no i'm

serious i've never heard that term feng shui? Or whatever it was. Feng shui. Do you know that? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if I know what to say. I totally thought you were making a joke. No, I was serious.

It's the Chinese practice that use energy forces to harmonize individuals with the surrounding environment. Yeah, it's just about having a good flow and a good feel to the room. You practice it, right? Don't simplify the science. There's a lot that goes into it, I'm sure. You think you could feng shui a room? Yeah, I think so. Could you feng shui one?

Based on what? Just gut feeling? Yeah, just how good does it feel in here? Well, there are feng shui. I think these businesses can hire people to come in and just feng shui up the office, dude. I think they did it. That's just peak capitalism. I know.

It's great. Everybody wins. That's capitalism. I'm with it. Nobody loses ever. I think there was something, too, with not having your – I want to say some houses, not having your, I want to say some houses, the steps, your steps not being where the door is or something.

Golly, what was it? It was like, so if you open the door. And then jump toward the steps? No, it's like they, man, it was something. I don't know where I knew it, but it was like but I thought the steps couldn't be in line with the door. So if you open the door, you didn't want your steps to be like, you see steps right there.

On purpose. Yeah, and I want to say it maybe breaks it up. It's about, that's why an open house is, so when it comes in, it's more open and blah, blah, and all that stuff. The stuff with the bed too, like you want your head to lay in a certain direction. I don't know that, but it's more open and blah blah and all that stuff the stuff with the bed too like you want your head to lay in a certain direction i don't know that but it's like just something with the magnetic pool on a tour bus is it how staircase facing the door affects your feng shui

yeah there you go yeah okay yeah you're right If there's a staircase very close to the front door, it can have a significant impact on the energy throughout the home. Wow. A staircase that is directly opposite, in line with, and facing the front door creates a challenging feng shui layout because it allows energy to flow quickly in and out of the front door. I got a stairway that faces the front door. Oh, yeah. I don't like that now oh wow you got bad can't believe you subscribe to this dusty this religion well i don't you know i do believe that you know there's a there's an energy about you know some stuff and we need to that's why i think

nature's good plants are good in the house. It gives some life to it. You know, there's so much negativity out here. A lot of people think I'm negative, but I'm just out here trying to bring life. How about this? There are some solutions. You can place a mirror at the top of the stairs facing the front door to create a feeling of expansiveness. How about that? Or place a rug at the base of the stairs to slow down

the bad energy and ground the area. Well, that's a little too much for me, I think. What about the mirror though? You put the mirror at the top? How is a rug more than a mirror? No, no. I mean, I guess I'm, well, the mirror, the idea is that it does create some openness and I can see that, but the rug- Slowing it down. Slowing energy down is where, where it loses me. It depends on how big the rug is. Yeah.

Or how thick it is. That's true. It's a shag rug. It's a real thick rug. Yeah. I like it though. I don't know how I knew that. I mean, I got into, you know,

I probably got into a little Eastern religion at some point in my life. Well, I know I did. I got into, so there's some stuff still hanging around that I just find is funny. When you're re-coordinated. Yeah. It's like, it's just peaceful. I like a peaceful environment, some soft music, some plants. You know, I think that's fun to me. You get a lot of scents going through the house too, right? Don't you like scents? I do, but it's like, you can't just go about buying scents now. You have to, it has to be essential oils and stuff.

All the candles are bad. All the fragrances are bad. It's all messing with your endocrine system. It's shutting you down. It's all messing you up. Yeah. What is? Scents.

I'd rather have a dollar. Boom. Boom. Well, side to say, our brain has evolved to resist change as a threat because it triggers fear, fight or flight. And our brain has trained ourself to be habit forming because then we don't have to be thinking about every little move and we can focus on some wild animal coming to attack us. That makes perfect sense to me. Are we all in agreement on that? I don't buy it.

That your brain wants to just have some routine. Well, yeah, but maybe we're just hardwired that way. I don't think we've evolved to be like that. We may just be hardwired to want a routine. We may just be hardwired with all the natural instincts that encourage procreation and so there you go. Exactly. Cantor's Law. Say truth

with sarcastic. No, I'm saying, yeah, you're right. Can't trust this guy. Cantor's Law says change is hardest in the middle. Everyone loves inspiring beginnings and happy endings, but the middle is where it involves the hard work. Who said this? Cantor. Who's that?

Just some woman. I do agree with that, though. Well, that's the idea. You always got to be uncomfortable. Uh-huh. Yeah. Anytime you start feeling comfortable, it's time to make a change.

Yeah. And that's the idea of that. And the middle part is just the hard work. So that's the part that stops everybody from making it to whatever usually their potential could get to. Yeah, there's not really a beginning or an end. I mean, only the middle exists. The beginning is like, all right, I'm going to do it.

The beginning is a fun talk. And then the ending is like, I can see that it happened. But the middle is like the beginning is like this. The ending is like this. The middle is the whole thing. The middle is the is like this the ending is like this the middle is the whole thing the middle is the whole thing and you gotta love the middle and that's the hard part and that uh we're talking about that with comedy this weekend i think about like you know it's the idea of like i gotta come up with a new hour and it's like you gotta love the idea of like you're like i don't know how i'm gonna do another hour like you know and it's it's like

you gotta love it you know i'm starting working out tomorrow so i've been a mess i've talked about it on here and uh so tomorrow i've got to start a whole trying to so are you like going off today is that the goal oh yeah oh yeah yeah this weekend your last meal donuts this morning oh yeah just had two uh whopper juniors no onion no tomato uh probably do i think i'll do mcdonald's on the way home maybe why not then i'll do i'll do dairy queen or sonic or something uh might do pizza because I had the Whopper Juniors. The Holy Trinity. Donuts, Burger King, and McDonald's

all in one day. Oh, yeah. I have a major problem. I got to get fit to be able to handle the road and all this stuff. I want to look good. You able to handle the road and all this stuff. And, you know, I want to be more, I want to look good. Like you want to, you need to just feel more confident. So, yeah, it starts, mine does start tomorrow.

I love starting tomorrow. Yeah. But it's. Tomorrow's the best. Tomorrow's the best. Because it justifies anything you do today oh you're like well tonight this will be the last thing yeah i'm just gonna go in and tomorrow i'm gonna wake up at 6 a.m run and you wake up at 10 and then you come to the spot i gotta wake up at nine yeah i gotta get up

9 30 a.m start training and then the eating is going to be the that's just the i'm eating the same thing every day you gotta change to change. What is it? Eggs, chicken, and steak. Ah, yeah. Which I know there might be. I'm down with that diet. It's not like I'm trying to live in this forever. No one has to write in and be like, well, that's not good for you.

You know, I don't need that stuff right now. Actually, I just need to do it. Let me just try it. You know, I think that's what happens people try to change when people do try to tell someone do a diet then they go i don't know if you should do that and then you're like well this and i that's enough of a reason all i do i'm an addict to this food so if you give me any window of a person like saying it's well you don't i don't think you need to go do that. Then you go, well, I don't know how to have balance.

Right. So I go, well, then I'm going to just do whatever I want. Sure. And they love to demonize meat, but meat's great. I'm all about it. Yeah. Eggs, chicken. Is eggs meat?

Well, it's a meat product. Okay. chicken is eggs meat well it's a meat product okay i wouldn't um yeah don't get into the pork but the rest of the stuff that's where it's at or have whatever meat you want fish is some trout i'm not doing a lot of choices because it's i can't well the second i yeah the second you start giving me, what do you want to do? It's not, I mean, I'm having it. Was there any talk about disassociating eating food with pleasure in any way? Where you can't think, not every meal should be good. Well, yeah.

In my head right now, I'm trying to think the meal doesn't matter. It's a means to an end. It's a means to an end. Eat to live, not live to eat. Yeah, yeah. Pray love. It's hard when there's no celebration. You don't know. I've been trying to, the mindset of thinking, it's like when you go on vacation and you're like, oh, you go on vacation, you eat whatever you want and you actually enjoy your vacation.

You look forward to your vacation. Where if I'm eating like I'm on vacation every day, which I do, then when you go to vacation, it's like, who cares? I'm eating the same food I would be eating, but I'm eating it in Florida, you know? And so if I can get it to where I can bounce that out to be like, when I'm at home, it's like a real job. I'm trying to make everything a little bit more with all the stuff we have

going on with the Nate land and all the other stuff. I have a lot of other stuff going. It's, uh, you know, there's a lot of stuff to do. Uh, I can't get behind.

And so I got to get a lot more, I got to get a lot more focused or I won't get to where I want to get. It's the same thing when I stopped drinking, when I stopped drinking, I was at least knew I won't get to where I want to get if this is in the way and food has been the way for him. The food's so hard because you got to eat yeah and it's we're on the road and we're doing all this stuff and it's you know and it's so good yeah the road there the road is crazy i was at a fair where they had a had a bucket some elephant ears or something no i had a bucket of cinnamon rolls well that's not far off from an elephant. What's an elephant? It's like a funnel cake type thing.

Oh. Yeah. Not a bucket of cinnamon rolls. And it was, I mean, in a bucket, dude, and they had so much icing on the top of it. It was, you couldn't even see the roll. That's why I think it's good to tap into what I try to tap into, right? It's like, if you just start, all these things are bad, they're all evil. You look at the cinnamon roll in the case and you go, there's no nutritional value in this. There's

no food whatsoever. It's poison. They're trying to kill me with this. I think it helps me because I looked at a cinnamon roll today and I go, I should get that. And then I just chose just chose not to eat well then why do you think your body looks like it does well sorry i'm sorry that was that was very mean i don't but i don't think my body looks bad no it doesn't it doesn't i was just that would have been way funnier if it did but yeah yeah yeah i mean yeah uh i've always had like a – even when I was like doing things that were making me very skinny, I've always had a stomach. And my sister is probably – you probably can't make these jokes now, but she used to call me – say I look like an Ethiopian because when we were kids, they would have all these commercials for raising money for these kids. And they would be very sick. The distended bellies. Yeah.

And they would have, they would be very skinny and have big stomachs. And that's how my sister would make fun of me as a kid. Yeah. So you feel good about that joke you just made? I mean, it worked out. But I'm saying that helps me to think of it that way,

to think of these things this way. Yeah. You look great. I feel fine about the way I look. I don't, you know. Yeah. Now you're taking shirt off. Yeah. You look great. I feel fine about the way I look. I don't, you know. Yeah. No, you're taking shirt off.

Yeah. You love it. I got a good out. He gets naked in a tanning suit. I got a good outside shirt off body. Yeah. If I take my shirt off inside, it feels inappropriate.

It's a little weird. Outside, yeah, it feels good. Great, like near a body of water. Yeah. Like it's, yeah. Yeah, I'm not going to be winning any um you know yeah you're not trying bodybuilding competition sure that i will beat brian in a swimming competition well that's for sure yeah that is for sure um the average american changes addresses 11.4 times in their life. Whoa. That's so much more than I thought. 11.4 times?

Yeah. When you start thinking about your own address changes, though, it's a lot. Yeah. I've moved so many times. I think I've had seven. Yeah. Even I, when I'm the oldest. But even as a kid?

Yeah, including the kid. I live in the same, yeah. I'm the oldest. But even as a kid? Yeah, including the kid. I lived in the same, yeah. I mean, I've never lived not 45 minutes from, or at least an hour from where I grew up. Including school?

Yeah, I went to Murfreesboro. Where'd you think I went to college? I didn't know how far Murfreesboro is from Atlanta. Same thing. It's all- 30 minutes. It's all- Yeah. 840 was a big deal for him.

840 was not there. It came along much later. Yeah. I moved 17 times. You just counted it in your head? Oh, my gosh. I counted up for me. I've moved, not counting multiple dorms in college, eight times.

Below the national average. Yeah, but with those dorms, different addresses. I mean, I had to actually move. So you changed addresses. Yeah, I just felt like that was cheating. It counts, though. Yeah. Well, then I think I 11 times. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm probably around 11, 12. Yeah, somewhere there. 11 to 15 times. Yeah. And you say you don't think you're done yet? But you've done it. It's never been within an hour outside of your house.

From where I grew up, yeah. Yeah. What would it take for you to move? Would you ever just pack up and move to Oregon? It would take something worthy to move there. Yeah. Like what? What can we offer you?

Headquarters. Moose to Portland. Yeah. Moose to portland yeah yeah what could you offer you're trying to get rid of me yeah get out of the race he's asking you he's like yeah what would it take yeah what would it take uh i don't know but i thought that was interesting yeah that is um how often should you change your toothbrush? Oh five years every supposed to change

every three to four months but that depends on how often you're brushing your toothbrush yeah I don't brush my yeah I think they're assuming

twice a day right with that stat three to four months that feels high twice a day in the morning right before you go to bed and then it's like you know maybe a third time something crazy happens That feels high. Twice a day? In the morning, right before you go to bed?

And then it's like, you know, maybe a third time, something crazy happens? Two or three times a week, max, I think. To brush your teeth? Stop, dude. Maybe to wash your hands, but not truly. No, wash your hands. Only if other people are present in the public restroom. That's when you wash your hands you take showers with your hands out yeah hold them up yeah keep them up uh men change their hairstyles three times in their adult lives on average

i've changed about i think more than that yeah adult lives yeah. I've definitely changed more than three. Women in their entire life change 150. Wow. 150? No way. According to the survey. It's by hair salon, but who counts that? They count color, cut, or shape. So any little slight change that we don't even notice.

Cut, 150. You did Lauren, 150? Maybe. Maybe. But is it like a little bit? So it's like if it's a tiny bit, that counts. Yeah. Yeah, it's like the annoying when, yeah, if your wife's like,

can you tell my hair is different? You're like, it's not different. I know it's different to you. Four times a year in 25 years, that would be a hundred. I don't know how to get to the other 50. Do it 10 more years. Yeah.

Some companies that changed for the good or bad. I can't find the bad right now. That was the more fun one. Well, Coke to new Coke. I remember that one. No, they changed back. Well,

yeah, yeah, but they, they changed. Uh, YouTube was originally a dating site. Really? Was it called YouTube?

Uh, no, I cannot find, uh, um, eHarmony. What was it? Brian was the original member of eHarmony

That's right Yeah, you're a beta tester for eHarmony Yeah, I was I can't remember what it was called now Dunkin' Donuts recently changed to just Dunkin' Because they're not really They were just moving on with the YouTube thing Well, I mean, I don't have the laptop

Well, I thought, I mean, you got all the information I don't have it Dunkin' Donuts, to me, is a real disappointing place. And there's one opening across the street here, and I'm so sad about it because I wish we were getting something better. Yeah, that's just me. We do not. Yeah, down here, we're not Dunkin' Donuts.

Yeah, it's like, give us a Tim Hortons. That's what we need. The Canadian chain down here, get some Timbits. Keep Canada out. Duncan. Initially, YouTube was designed to be a dating site. Launched in 2005. It was founded by former PayPal employees.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The motto, the slogan was tune in, hook up. It was a video dating website. The idea was for people to upload introductory videos of themselves, describing what they're looking for in a partner. And then it just didn't take off. Five days from its release, no video of it uploaded on the platform. So it wasn't very successful.

Chipotle recently reinvented themselves with the Chipotle-nes. That's so dumb. I don't even know what that is. Yeah, what is Chipotle? I mean, I was looking at you, Aaron. Just tell us about it. Oh, come on. I was just going to...

Oh, come on, Brian. Come on. I guess during COVID, when they started adding fast food lanes for the first time to Chipotle and... You mean a drive-thru lane? What did I say? Fast food lane?

Yeah, I guess the drive-thru lane would be... This is... Okay. Oh, Chipotle lanes. Yeah. So you can go... You can get it through a drive-thru lane would be where this is. Okay. All Chipotle lines. Yeah. So you can go, you can get it through a drive-thru now. At a lot of their stores. Just launched it's 501.

I've never seen, I've never seen that. I've never seen it either. The Panda Express is almost everywhere now. They have the drive-thru. Man, Panda Express used to not have onions in their fried rice, and then they put them in, and that kind of checked me out. You just wrote off the whole company after that? You can't get those onions out of there.

I think I went in there and said no onions, and it's already in there. Maybe that's God telling you to get white rice, dude. But the fried rice is – I mean, I would go there. I could go there every day and eat, but they put those onions in there. Yeah. But not anymore. It's, but they put those onions in there. Yeah. But not anymore. It's a good thing the onions are in there because now you're eating eggs, chicken, and steak. Yeah.

Onions are vegetables, too. But I'm saying he doesn't need to be eating the rice. He's eating eggs, chicken, and steak. Yeah. No choices. You know what I did at Chipotle the other day? Yeah. No choices.

You know what I do at Chipotle? I did it the other day. You try to order at Chipotle without motioning towards or pointing at any of the things you order. I probably, no, I don't want to bog down these people's time with my games. But go ahead, tell us how you did it. No, this doesn't take anybody. This is what the elite does. This doesn't take anybody.

You ever mess with a poor? So here's what I do. I in i use my nose and i order with my nose and my eyes and then uh yeah and then i don't tip them and i leave and get my mercedes and drive to my gated community that i've lived in the same home for 100 years i've never left. No, no, no, no, no. What do you do? No, I just don't point at it. They say, what do you want? Cause I noticed everybody points.

It's the instinct is to point at it or motion to it with your, so I put my hands behind my back. I'm like you on stage and I just walk through and I say what I want without motioning towards it. And it's a fun little exercise. I actually feel it's more humanizing to do that. Are they good with it? Than just to walk up and just tap the glass.

The chicken right here. The chicken, buddy. You watch people, they go do that. Some people, I see people on the phone not even say it. They just point. They're on the phone talking and they just degrade these people. I wouldn't do. Yeah, yeah.

I agree with that. Look, making fun of you about that because it was, you know, it comedy show of course i'm not mad about it yeah i mean you know god forbid someone jump in with some comedy and uh no but i you know what weird though uh practicing stuff like that in those situations is is actually i think a great thing like if you like when you learn if someone's learned something you can do uh it is like if you want to be you realize like oh i do point a lot and that's not i shouldn't so sometimes i try to not point or say it i just walk through and i try to connect you just stare at them and they go i have a feeling i know what you want yeah yeah there you go.

This guy. Yeah. This guy doesn't want pork. I know that much. You do it. You pick. Yeah. He goes, you want it just in the bag? You go, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just put it in the bag. Yeah. But I think I saw a meme or something from the point of view of a Chipotle employee expressing how annoyed they were that people point and kind of so I go I'm just going to try to just do the exact it's a balance of it's probably a balance of both sides like no one should be doing that pointing but then again I can't be going in Chipotle worried about your everybody's emotions in the building you know

what I mean like but it's like I feel like there's a these this kind of world there's this weird kind of thing now that's like well you got to treat me better and you're like all right man like but i just you know what i want like just get it like you know and then let's not yeah there's people that are extremely rude but right you know that's like the people videoing right isn't that the big thing they videoed people at chipotle and that was a big thing have you ever seen that they were videoing them to ask uh to like get more meat or whatever like because chipotle was like but have you ever seen that in person no video i've never seen that so that's what it like it's you see it and it's it seems like it's this thing

and you're like, dude, that is the odds of you seeing someone videoing and doing that extremely slim. And so overall, we're all everybody's doing a great job. Yeah. Except when

Aaron walks in and he's on one leg. He's not. He's like, I'm not going to give you any hints to what I'm going to tell you. Yeah. You better have learned the names. He goes, let me guess, flour. I will say I've gotten the same thing at Chipotle every time I've been there.

Pretty good. That was funny. Did they know you? Yeah, it was good. Yeah. No, they don't know. I don't go to this. Double flour.

That's how they're flying. Let me guess. Oh, tortilla. Yeah. Okay. yeah no they don't know i don't go double flour let me guess oh tortilla yeah okay yeah they don't get it there's no bowl yeah yeah let me guess all right what now i got the same thing every time i'm there what i don't like because i don't like change i'm talking about change you still go there go there, though? Chipotle? Yeah. I mean, yeah, all the time. That's like the one place I consistently go to. They were like out now. They had a real moment. I think they're crushing it. 300 new stores this year.

I think it's somewhat, for fast food, healthiest shot at fast food. You can go there and get lettuce and steak. Chicken and rice. I feel like there's a real anti-Chipotle sentiment out here. Well, there is. There's a lot of propaganda being thrown around from competitors, I think. There's a lot of like, oh, there's

E. coli in it. It's like, yeah, there was once and now it's all fixed. Any of these places have problems, dude. Eagle Eye. That's what I always think when I think Eagle Eye. Eagle Eye. Just watching you from a distance. Yeah.

What do you order? I get a bowl to go. You do get a bowl. White rice, no beans, chicken, medium, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, corn. That's it. I'd get all that except the corn. And I shake it up.

Yeah, it's good, man. You shake it up. That seems easy to make at home. Yeah. Nah, it's not the same. It's not the same. You got to do some stuff. I've been growing tomatoes. Yeah.

And I've been cooking them down, making a little soup for myself. Very good. You think that's easier than going to just Chipotle and just getting it? It's better. Well, that's not the question. You know what I thought of this weekend? We had poutine in Winnipeg.

So they have in Canada, it's all paper straws, wooden spoons. it's all this recyclable stuff and i was and in my head i thought they should let winnipeg be like because you're just winnipeg's lovely city they have one month of summer how about we go we're not gonna make you do the recycling thing you you you're you're up here doing good work we're not gonna make you do a paper straw burn your trash do whatever you want in that month you're not the problem right it's it's not that month i'm saying the whole yeah you like they made me think like you know don't

you know people in winnipeg like it's it's minus 40 and then you gotta touch a paper straw you're like no no like new york they may they can do paper straws cities major cities can do toronto yeah yeah paper straws but then some of these smaller cities you're like we don't mess with them we let we leave them alone yeah i mean or just because they're actually spreading us out so they're actually spreading us out. So they're actually helping. Right. Because they are living, they're choosing to not crowd up a city. That's what I thought. Yeah, just, you know, they could just use silverware that can be washed. Well, but I mean, for to-go.

That's no fun. Yeah, I'm talking about to-go. Just, you know, like. Yeah. I'm talking about to-go. I'm saying just. Yeah. You don't make them have to do it yeah i just think all that stuff's so silly we could use reusable things but yet

we're like let's use wooden spoons let's get a guy but if you're getting it to go you're not gonna we're gonna go swing back through chipotle and give them their silverware? Yeah, on the way home. Fast food lane. You say bring your own. Well, no. I mean, you know. Like a grocery store. To go is different. To go is different.

If you're getting it to go, you should have to eat with a wooden spoon. Or why? No, I just, it is annoying to me. I get it, though. Plastic's bad for us, I think. Paper straws are brutal. Paper straws are brutal. Brutal.

Yeah, they're tough. Some movies about change. Face Off. Face Off. Oh, yeah. If you had to switch faces with any of us, Dusty, who would you choose? Well, it'd have to be Nate. I think our faces are similar.

Yeah, it's the only... I think it'd be a pretty even... it wouldn't be, you know. Yeah. It's the only decent face in here. I mean, that's for sure. Aaron, you got a young face. Decent face. You didn't even compliment Nate into that. That was Totally decent face. Yeah. Remember the end of Rocky IV, his speech about change? Oh, yeah. If I can change, we can all change. Something like that, right?

It's beautiful. It is a good movie. Mm-hmm. What about the song by Smash Mouth? The guy says, could you spare some change for gas? I need to get myself away from this place. He said, hey, what a concept. I could use a little fuel myself, and we could all use a little change. You guys know that song?

Yeah, All Star. Have you heard that song, All Star? Yeah, I'm familiar. I think so. I think I've heard it. I've never heard the lyrics said amelodically, though, so it took me a second. Great philosopher Sheryl Crow said a change would do you good.

Yeah. Wow. Wow. What's amelodically? Amelodically. What is that? Like he just said it. He didn't say it.

Okay. And we could all use a little change well the years start coming and they don't start coming you know the song yeah yeah yeah we do all-star rest in peace that guy died recently really yeah so just so you know i didn't mention him if he's yeah i know if he's yeah i know you might have mentioned the smash oh oh yeah that's sad yeah singer he's good yeah yeah that is tough you i got his their cd for christmas one year oh yeah it's cool you know a weird thing about that era of music like you'll be in a bar and they're doing covers of 60s 70s 80s songs you don't see a lot of bands covering smash mouth you don't go you know you know what i mean like if you're in a band and they're just starting playing all-star or uh

sugar ray or uh you know what i mean that error yeah yeah i feel like that maybe we're too close to them to start to want to do it that's what i thought but i thought i'm 30 years to me that's anybody just came out yeah but i mean it would yeah yeah you would uh like even like third eye blind you don't see them people because they also still tour third eye blind is still still touring yeah yeah they not had a new hit in a while though huh i just mean like a band at a local bar you know you don't hear them you know playing marcy playground or uh you know any of that you know 311 something like that i hear the 90s as far as they've gone so far i'm barely into the 90s yeah you'll see it come around you'll start to see it there'll be a uh there'll be an aughts night at the club. Yeah. You know, and then they'll play

that kind of music. We can stop there. Yeah. Alright. Well, this is it. This was the first... I felt good about this. Yeah, I think... Starting a new... Figuring out the angle on you guys. Yeah. You notice

Nate gets farther and farther away from me throughout the episode. Well, it's because this... i think i gotta scoot this over a little bit and so some little things we're figuring a little yeah but this is unbelievable dude thank you for making this happen it looks good it looks great huh for all the people think i'm quitting tomorrow maybe i'm working on some stuff. Maybe I'm figuring things out. All the conspiracy theorists, they brought in Dusty to eventually replace me.

That's what people say. I've slowly been transitioning. That's why we brought up Face Off today. This whittler really let me down. He was supposed to put Sleigh Land in there. Yeah, that looks unreal. Yeah, it's very cool. That is awesome.

Yeah. I am trying to get some of my own pictures in here. I'm trying to subvert that. I'll slowly start switching. Maybe I'll just switch the faces on the posters. Yeah. Well, that's, yeah, we can work on that. We're getting, we were having, that idea was, that wall was with more of y'all stuff.

And then you got over there, you got that little, your little toys over there. There's like, there's stuff that's there. You got all y'all's little toys. Can we get some of your little toys over there? Let's get some of the guys on the wall. Yeah, but can we make them animals? Do you want me to put your CD somewhere?

Making that fudge? Making that fudge, yeah. You can hear that I'd rather have a dollar joke. It's a good album. Yeah, yeah, it is. It's a good album. It is.
