That's it.

I can't drink this? Is the drink called Bobo? Yeah, that's like a tea, I yeah. Yeah. That's it. I can't drink this? Is the drink called Bobo? Yeah, that's like a tea, I thought. Yeah. Isn't it? I don't know what Bobo is. It's the tea with the things inside of it. And it comes out of the...

It's in the same family as what John has here. Yeah. What do you have? Just a coffee? That's an iced vanilla latte. Okay. From right across the street. Yeah.

I mean, dude, it's 2.30. Yeah, yeah. Or 4.30. What time is it? I had a coffee. It's 5 o' Yeah. I mean, dude, it's 2.30. Yeah, yeah. Or 4.30. What time is it? I had a coffee. It's 5 o'clock. I like funny coffee. Yeah, what do you want me to be on my A game at 5 o'clock?

Yeah. Yeah, I need something. You're off by two and a half hours. Yeah, see? Example. I don't even know what time it is. It's 2.30. Guys, come on.

It's 2.30. What time is it? Look, I drank coffee, too, just a second ago. So I'm not. I like the way the straw, this blue straw. Oh, it looks like a kid drink. You got a blue jacket. It just looks like, everything looks like you came from a mall.

Like we called you and you go, boys, I got to go. I can't. I got a big podcast. You had to call your buddy's mom, had to come early. Come get me. Your friends are like, can we stay? I mean, if I'm here picking him up might as well get everybody

and so well parents don't have that anymore you can't is Harper old enough do we say her name are we allowed to say her name no alright shoot

cut that out you drop her off at the mall I don't have children according to this you would drop Harper off at the mall Harper who's that

oh yeah no would I drop her off at the mall Harper who's that oh yeah no would I would drop off at a mall with her friends have you been to malls or just like oh yeah

I don't look I don't know what malls are but I believe they're war grounds it's not yeah the mall I grew up in I don't go to the mall

they shot Stranger Things in it the mall that I went to sincerely as a kid they like made it as like a they're like

this is so terrible the mall I went to they shot strangers it was too easy i know you were gonna you know i felt it was you can see my brain working two seconds behind you yeah yeah i'll get in there first yeah it was it was too how would you have said it i would have said the mall i grew up at, they shot people. That's better. That's too aggressive. That's totally different. No, it's not. I said strangers.

What is that? Stranger things. You said they shot stranger things, so I said they shot strangers. Oh, yeah, that's way better. I thought that was Strangers the movie. Yeah. You're talking about just strangers.

Thank goodness I got in there. Derailed this podcast just to go. I'm sorry, Aaron. Your years of comedy are showing. I'm just here for setups. The Montgomery Mall is no longer around, the mall that I grew up with. Wasn't there a documentary about it or something? That was a different mall.

Jasper Mall. Jasper, yeah. What happened? They're just dying. A lot. It's a global economy, a lot of moving pieces to it. Amazon, I think. Amazon probably played a role.

Yeah, and then there's a lot of violence. I walked around a mall Saturday in Des Moines. It was very nice. You need a big store. I learned about anchor stores. I think I learned about it maybe on this podcast. But you need like they had a Shs, so we went into Shields. That's the anchor store for the mall.

Yes. If they leave, the mall's done. Well, I mean, this mall had a lot of good stuff, and a lot of people went in. I'm still under, I believe people still want to go do stuff. You still want to buy stuff. I still think, I know young, like, you know,

you do see Harper and like the younger kids, they're ordering stuff and then they're like, it's going to come in two days. So maybe their mentality would be like, they're used to waiting. But I think if you,

if they go wait, like I could go get it right now though. You'd be like, the right now impulse is, that's why Apple stores are great. Cause you're like,

I need, I have to have a charger. Yeah. I can go get it now. You want to get stuff now. But what does, what do they like to do instead of malls? Go to like a dog park or something?

Uh, yeah. I mean, I don't, you know, where does she go? Are you wanting to know where the young girls are? No.

Like where does, where does she goes bowling? They smoke and they go bowling. Where'd they go? I don't know where they go. We would just go anywhere. They don't go anywhere. They stay and they go bowling. Where did they go? I don't know where they go. We would just go. They don't go anywhere. They don't go anywhere.

They stay in the, I mean, they FaceTime. She goes in the neighborhood and she'll go to her friend's house. Her friends come over. A lot of spending the night. That kind of stuff. We would walk around to Walmart. That was big. Really?

We'd just go sit in a parking lot somewhere. Yeah, there's nothing to do, dude. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, now, yeah, I guess you go hang out in parking lots. Yeah, I mean, Opry Mills, man, is, I think, a pretty. It's not going well over there. It's not going well. And I think you shouldn't.

Like, you can go during the day, during the week or something. But if school's out and all that, it seems like it's not the best place to go. Because, I mean, they don't have anywhere to go. So it's like the ones that go there. And I think malls were always kind of like that. It's still, Opry Mills is still- Like a delinquent behavior. A little bit.

You would walk around it, but it'd be someone- I think I remember one time it was like Rivergate Mall. There was going to be a fight at Rivergate Mall. Yeah. And it was- I kind of, that's vague, kind of vaguely remember, you know, and they would like say, we're going to meet at Rivergate Mall and fight. Oh, they would love that just to get people in the building.

Now, yeah, now they do it. It's a show. It's a foot trap. They advertise it. It's a whole show. I had a, we have like a bunch of me and my buddies, we all play basketball. There's like this big group text for like 30 dudes and there was like

remember that that tornado came through that area yes like six months ago we said the tornado came through Rivergate Mall and I put it it's not my joke

but it's a group I go yeah I heard it caused 30 million dollars of improvements yeah that's nice it's not my joke I haven't heard that joke

but it's like a and everybody was like this is the funniest thing I've ever heard I was like and I just left where i heard that joke but it's like a and everybody's like this is the funniest thing i've ever heard i was like and i just left it i don't think i it's true they're probably hoping for some insurance money to kick in there that rivergate mall is brutal dude i went there recently and it's oh really oh dude there's not much left there that's a big mall man yeah do you take your cycle to green hills uh Yeah, you go walk around Green Hills Mall. I've gone there. When I'm in y'all's tax bracket, I will go to the Green Hills Mall.

That is, yeah. What, am I going to pop in a Gucci store? The store is at the Green Hills Mall. They won't even let you in. Yeah, I wouldn't have said it. Oh, yeah, the security. John said it. I wouldn't have.

John doesn't know how to, you know. He goes, hey, your butler goes and picks up your Amazon stuff. He goes, I don't know. You got a mailbox? I don't even get my mail. It comes to someone. They open it for him. And show him.

Yeah, and they make sure it's not anthrax. And if it is, then I also make sure they have a referral because once they go down and we need someone out, we can't have downtime. Did you hear about the people that flew, the band that flew on different planes? No, it was a family. They flew on different private jets because we don't want the family heritage to be done if this plane goes down.

The husband and the wife flew on different planes. They want to put all their eggs in one basket. Yeah. It's kind of the same thing. Have you ever heard their president and vice president do that? They fly on separate planes. I don't think they do. Air Force One and Air Force Two.

Yeah. That's the idea. Oh, yeah. Do you know every governor and a mayor do not fly together? The mayor. They don't let the mayor

on the plane. The mayor's like, can I come? No, he goes, you got to drive, actually. I was waiting to hear who you think would be right under the governor. The mayor. Yeah. I was waiting to hear who you think would be right under the governor.

The mayor. Yeah. Who's below that? Who's below the mayor? Yeah. City council. Yeah. And then it's like

a principal at a high school. Yeah. It gets to school real fast. You get down there. Well, it goes all the way. And then, I mean,

borderline, you're at Bates. Yeah. Like, you're, Bates is, eight people were moved from running the state

of Tennessee. Like, it's just, he knows all the counties. Yeah. And that's just, you know, that's just something you can't teach. How far does it go below if, like, the president dies to the vice president? How far down does the list go? I mean, all, like, in the 50s and 60s, yeah. No way.

Oh, yeah, yeah. If the vice president dies, then who, all the way down to like school board? No. No, it's got to go. Well, I think if you get school board, I think you just got an unlawful country. Yeah, I think you should just run at that point. But when the president makes a State of the Union address and all the high ranking officials in the government are in the same building, they always leave behind a guy in the White House. A designated survivor. A designated survivor, it's's called it's usually like the secretary of agriculture or

something was that something that you don't need them in the building for the speech right but if the building gets blown up there'll be somebody there wasn't there a tv show called there's a tv show built on that premise yeah keifer sullivan oh and so he was yeah he was the same guy. He was the same vibe too, I bet. I've never seen Disney, and I've never watched 24, but I bet they have to be somewhat kind of a quick pace. Would you take it as a compliment or a diss if they said, stay to the end tonight, you got to stay back?

I think it's pretty cool. It's better than being the guy right above him that doesn't matter. You're at least like, you know, that's the draft, Mr. Irrelevant. Yes. Might as well be that instead of the guy right above Mr. Irrelevant. You want to be the last. You want to be last. Yeah, because you're like, dude, in 2024, they don't trust me. In 2024, they left me back State of Union.

I wonder if there's a small part of them that you're hoping something goes down. Yeah. He's on the phone with his wife. He goes, he's sitting in the president's desk. Feet on the resolute desk. He's doing fake he goes, we won't take anything from

anybody. Bomb them. Yeah, they walk in. We're back. Hey. I thought you guys, he's got the president's suit on. He's got Biden's suit on. I thought you guys were gone. How'd it go?

How was it? How'd it go? How was it? He's just reeling. Oh, how was it? I was watching. I saw the live stream. I'd be that guy.

Yeah. Because somebody back home in the HOA, he's the HOA president. We don't know if we can trust you. You don't know if you can trust me? At the State of the Union, I was in charge of this whole country. Yeah, at that moment. You can leverage that for some clout. I bet it's probably taking it a little more serious now, too.

I'm afraid you have to really think about it now. What do you mean? I know what that means, Brian know what it means it's just in general you have to you would have to there it is yeah so it's what 17 i guess so yeah i guess that's that's the number that's uh oh secretary of agriculture is number nine so he's up there wow secretary of the interior well what is that i'd go down to about after attorney general i go we got to do elections again yeah yeah yeah secretary of interior uh is responsible for the management and conservation of federal land along with natural resources i trust her so the number three person That would be president

I've never even heard of Patty Murray That's not accurate Right now is it Yeah this is the current This is the current list I've never heard of I don't follow politics

I've never heard of Patty Murray President Pro Tempura Of the Senate I've never even heard of that Yeah President Pro Tem It's usually Abbreviated So there's a whole

Pro Tempura What is that Shrimp Tempura I said that wrong's a whole. Pro Tempura. What is that? Shrimp Tempura. I said that wrong. I think so. Shrimp Tempura. Shrimp Tempura. President Pro Tempura.

That's going to be a comment next week. I'm sorry for that. If you're watching a video, we've got a little fun little thing. We've added all of our senior portraits and that's John Crist on the right and the bottom right I did look like that I mean your hair now, it was blonde

I mean unbelievable that we can put Dusty's up there and you it could be yours I did look exactly like that have you ever messed with hair color at all? You ever gone wild? Oh, yeah, dude. I got grounded.

Did you really? I have this exact photo. I'm going to text my mom and tell her to send it. It looks just like that. You did bleach blonde hair at one point? Yes, dude. At one point. Numerous points.

Yeah. I don't know. I think it's to see. I think that season's coming upon us. I know, dude. Wow. Nate, you looked the know. Yeah. I think it's to see. I think that season's coming upon us. I know, dude. Wow. Nate looked exactly the same. Yeah.

Yeah. So do I. Bates does, too. Nate kind of looks like 40-year-old Virgin. Yeah. You know the cover of that movie? He looks like the headshot. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Look at a young Bates. It's a guy. He's running for office. Bates, did you know all the counties at that point? I knew quite a few of them. Would you name them like in Best in Show? Pistachio nut, walnut, peanut.

Look, if your parents, if you said- It's Forrest Gump, you said if you said to your parents they do that too but I'm going to I'm going to hang out with some kids after school

who would your parents most likely to least like you when you when you hang with well the bottom Aaron did they zoom in on yours and

Abby said that's zooming all the way out that's when I came in I go you couldn't zoom out from my picture at all? She was like, I tried. There you go. Where did he go?

Why'd y'all zoom in on Aaron? He's like, we didn't. That's from the moon. It's not zoomed in. Yeah, Bates and I are the same distance from the camera. It's like the objects in the mirror. They are closer, and you're you're like well he's right there that's what your your picture is and objects in the mirror appear closer than they really are

oh because these things like they have another inch or two that's true they wrap that's true yeah it is yeah that doesn't explain the other ones though no but they uh they didn't do aaron any favors by trying to squeeze it in. How big was your picture? Was it bigger than that? I thought it was an 8x10. I think it was the same size picture y'all had. Mine was big.

Okay. They had to shrink mine down. Yeah. Same aspect ratio. Yeah, yeah. So they should have zoomed out a little bit, but they didn't. How tall were you? Same build? Same height, yeah. Yeah. should have zoomed out a little bit but they didn't yeah how tall were you same same height

yeah yeah i mean i was probably 50 pounds lighter than i am right now on that who's agile you saw him run dude he was athletic that was football that was strong football days yeah that was coming out of the best shape of my life yeah it was a few months removed could you have played college ball somewhere like uh d3 or something probably but i never really pursued it is it you just know you don't want to do it at that point yeah i just played in college well yeah yeah i played it while in but if you're gonna break your back playing it right why not just go play for real oh because then i don't know. I had to start comping.

No, I know. A Notre Dame education is more important than – Yeah, being the backup at a D3 school. Yeah, well, at least you used that education. Yeah. You could have easily gone to D3 and played football and been exactly where you're at right now. That's all your dad thinks about every day. He could have slept in his room for four years,

saved all that money, and been exactly where he's at right now. Could have started on comedy sooner. I might be doing better. You might be doing better. Killing four years there. I might be doing better. I to be 14 years in a company well had to bottom out uh yeah so we did change up some stuff i switched seats uh but if i but we might switch back so don't get think, you know. I mean, I like this, but, you know, we're not doing everything you say,

even though we've done a lot of the things that you have said. We've done most of them. We've done most of the things you say, but y'all cannot make us do everything. Where were you? I was sitting right there, but Brian's always been to my left. And then, so this is kind of how it was the old way. Oh, you switched. So Brian said, said hey this is not up to my liking yeah he's the figure of the tamper tantrum baits through last week yeah yeah it was pretty it was crazy people we've made a few adjustments this week just to see we're a little

closer yes we made the cameras come in. Oh, you're wider. Yeah. It's a big table. One person commented that we look like even a more offensive version of The Last Supper. More than the Olympics. At least diverse. Not very diverse.

That's wild. More than the Olympics. I was reading something today about the Olympics. The budget for that opening ceremony was like $150 million. How crazy is that? You can do whatever you want. And they're like, a billion people are going to be watching this. And then they go do it, and they do stuff, and they get so weird.

And you're like, I want to do it. You want to go, that's how far removed some of these people on TV are. You go, I don't even know what's going on. Yeah. What is this? No one knows. Just be a normal person. Just be regular.

Just be regular. Do you not have, did they get anybody? Did they get anybody? Did they go, are you? That's what I, when I interview, if I interviewed people, I would go, give me, who do you talk to that is a regular person? Like how many? Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, they're like, like oh i got all these texts from in here

like those people are all too out of reality yeah i want to go through your phone who how many people are you talking you need at least to be talking to eight to ten people regularly that are not and we need to see that they are also regular yes yeah and i need to go interview them yeah and they better be on the couch within their underwear yeah Yeah. You need to be that close to normalcy. These people are on another planet. It's funny. You got nobody in your life that could read the rundown of what the ceremony is going to be. Nobody's like, wait, what is this?

This last supper part? It's a little weird. Yeah. Well, none of it because it's too, they're just too far. It's like too out there. And everybody in that circle is like, this is it of it because it's too – they're just too far. It's like too out there. And everybody in that circle is like, this is it. This is it. This is it.

Well, you're – yeah. I mean, they gave you – you gave someone, I'd imagine, that's never dealt with $150 million. No. And you go, here's $150 million. Never dealt with $150. Yeah. I mean, and maybe he's done a lot of stuff.

I just can't imagine. I mean, that would be, you know, Spielberg, I don't know if he's dealt with $150 million. I mean, he goes, why doesn't Spielberg do it? Why don't you have someone like this? Well, I wonder how long ago he got or whoever got the job. And there was no, like, check-in until, like, the night before. Like, they're like, you're in charge of opening ceremonies. He goes, sounds good, $150 million, got it.

And then there was a— First call he made was to Smurf on the table. Because that was call one. He goes, I already told that guy, if I get this, you're doing it. And he was the first call. He goes, I got it. And then they—so he was one. That's one million. That's one call. Yeah, you're doing it. And he was the first call. He goes, I got it. And then they, so he was, he was one.

That's one, that's one million. That's one call. Yeah. Well, that guy, yeah, he's like,

he goes, I ain't doing it for anything less than a million. He goes, I have a hundred. He told him, he goes, I have 150 million. How many millions do you want?

And he goes, I want, can I have 10? Do you want to see the performance? No, no, we trust you. No,

we trust you. Hey, it's, it's, it's Friday night. We'll see you there. And it's funny when they do that, just because everybody's watching, and everybody's perspective from a country is just like, I guess your country's weird, man. And you don't know.

In hindsight, everybody's like, no, no, no, none of us really like this. But everybody watching at home is like this is what they do I don't know maybe we're weird it's Paris yeah it's Paris

you're like you know what that's just not our thing and people in Paris are like that's not our thing either I don't know because I'm not

we're not doing that because we're not on a table laying down and you go that's what I think of all of you now now I think y'all look like that

and do that every day so I'm sorry that's what cancel the of all of you now. Now I think y'all look like that and do that every day. So I'm sorry. That's what. Cancel the trip to France. Cancel the, yeah. Not been going anymore. It's not. Why would I go?

I want to go do comedy there one day. I mean, are they going to get it? What do I need to do? It must, you know. We, I think we, we reviewed something on our podcast. It was like a, it was like a, it was like a song that was like, it was super, it was like a pro, like it was a pro Trump country song. And it was so out of pocket.

And I go, think about how many people have to sign off on this to get it to YouTube. A producer, somebody has to help you write it, all the musicians. And no one said, hey. Yeah, what is it? Like like that's what i wonder it was anyone like this isn't making sense i don't know how does that get through but i think because you gotta have a strong leader so the leader has to be able to know you have to trust that the leader knows to say this isn't right and because most people are not gonna be able to answer that's

really what it is is yeah and so if there not a leader, and the leaders are being removed, like they're so far removed. I just did a private show for Hy-Vee. Grocery store. Grocery store. Okay, don't deflect, dude. I thought you said Hy-C. I got pretty excited.

Oh, yeah. Now, Hy-Vee did it in their grocery store uh i didn't but it was like one of their a very big guy was retiring and but he was a person that uh because they showed some of his story and i saw it and so he started like i think loading trucks at 14 for this small it wasn't it's not what it was, but this small company. And he's been in it since, you know, now he's in his 60s or something. And Walmart, same thing, CEO Doug McMillan. Yep.

He loaded trucks at Walmart and now runs Walmart. He'll be a greeter at one point. Huh? He'll keep going. He'll go backwards. Yeah. He becomes a greeter. That is true. Huh? He'll keep going. He'll go backwards. Yeah. He becomes a greeter. That is true.

Yeah, that would be very funny. Walmart, they go, that's the hard part. You get the CEO. After that, it goes down quick. I want to retire, unfortunately. They go, unfortunately, you can't. You want to keep these benefits. You've got to go all the way back.

And then they go, what? Everybody talked to you. Every greeter's worth $450 million, and they have to stay in there? And you're like, it's like the masters, the guys in the green jackets. You're allowed to go ask them questions. And that guy's a member of Augusta. It's like, where's 14? And he's got to tell some drunk guy, like, can't pee behind the tree.

And he's, God, he's animals. He's a member of the. But that stuff is like, you're kind of losing that like that's what makes it so great because you got someone that's like well that person loves this place yeah and what stuff gets wrong stuff doesn't happen right like you know there's it's so big that it's hard to whatever but the general idea of it moving forward is like they they know what they're doing and that And I think you're getting a little removed. That's what, you know, I mean, this last special I talked about being from the 1900s and all that.

But it really, we weren't that long ago. Yeah. Like Walmart, you know, when was it? The 60s? When it started? Yeah. Yeah. The 60s.

I mean, my parents are alive. He was alive. When it started. Bates was alive. It didn't really take off until like the 80s i mean my parents are alive he was when it started bates was alive it didn't really take off till like the 80s i think but i mean yeah walmart just walmart just like existed like that's like crazy dude 1962 rogers it's crazy uh to where it is to where it is now and then like that's how new so like is. Doug McMillan, who runs it, he would have probably started working there in the 90s, maybe?

Late 80s. 90s. It's so still new. You've got some of these places that still have that connection, but then you've got some companies where you start bringing in people that they're not from nobody knows what's going

that world yeah like they're just like you know they're like well my first job it was like i worked at uh you know i sold cell phones second job i was ceo of and now you're here nike and you're like what and there was no in between they go no in between i went straight no yeah and so you get a lot of that and then those those people, you know, it's experience in general. And the companies that last, SNL. SNL. One thing, Lorne's been on forever. Lorne's there.

Lorne was like, the camera crew's been there the whole time. He keeps everybody. Everybody stays there because they love it. And that's why you can say whatever you want, but it's just a well-run kind of thing and it's a staple and somebody knows and cares so you like if you look at like i don't know about the order of the olympic committee or whatever but you're like who who are we like who's accountable for this like how we we like some firm yeah we got him to do the thing this The CEO of the Olympics is probably a guy from,

he's like, no one really has ownership of this. Yeah, yeah. Versus like SNL, there's such a history. There's a face to it. There's a face to it. Maybe that's what it is. You need a face to it. Like the Walton family is like, this has been in their family.

And you're like, yeah, they might not be, but somebody cares about Walmart deeply. I know. It was Bentonville, Arkansas. These people grew up in it. Their dads, their granddads. We understood. If some entertainment firm is like, you're in charge of the opening ceremonies.

They're like, does anyone know about sports here? Nah, we have no idea well i want to tell you about a company i just learned about but i already love and that's pesty there's no about pesty i'm i'm at home this weekend i see a giant bug ruth's gone so i'm like what am i going to do yeah normally i would just scream and wait till she gets home but now i use pesty it's a do-it-yourself pest control company on a mission to provide pro-grade pest control products at an affordable price.

Plosive heavy. It's Pesty's Pet Control. Pets protect your pets. Oh,osive? Yeah. Pelosive heavy. He spells it. Pesties, pet control, pets, protect your pets. Oh, yeah. Just a b-b-b. And that word is Pelosive? I think so. Is that right? Yeah, yeah. Do people say that? They would go, that's too Pelosive? Is that how they would say that?

Nancy Pelosive. Yeah. They go, we got Nancy Pelosive over here. And you go, alright. We got an older Nancy Pelosive over here. You go, alright, dude, I'm going to quit talking then. That you go, all right. We got an older Nancy Pelosi over here. You go, all right, dude. Well, I'm going to quit talking then. That's an insult to someone. He goes, oh, good up for Nancy Pelosi.

This is the smartest podcast on the planet. We get it. Please welcome to stage Nancy Pelosi. All right. That's enough. Everybody goes, what? I never heard of that. Yeah.

Is it only P words? P's and B's. So it's a word just for that. Bring back my. Is that Belosive? Is that Belosive? P's and B's. So it's a word just for that. Bring back my. Is that belosive? Is that belosive? Like the belosive well? Is that belosive?

Is it pelosive and belosive? It's all plosives. So why do you even know that word? What year did they go? Well, what's interesting, we all talk into microphones for a living. I'm surprised you don't know what that means. Wow. You never think about when you hear that into microphone on stage?

Yeah, yeah. I think, man, that's a tough thing to say. I thought that was alliteration. That's how I would say it. That's tough to say. And everybody goes, yeah. See, that's what I mean. You're the Olympic committee that doesn't know what it means.

That's what you are. If we left it to him, Aaron's going to be doing stuff in Yard at home. There'll be two blue guys up here. Yeah, at home, Yard will be like, what is this? And you're like, oh. Well, isn't it if you, like I know from the news, like on the news, they have to write the news to a fifth grade level so everybody can understand the news.

That's just what your girlfriend tells you, John, so you can understand the news. You've been in the news. Is that true? No. No, that is true. She girlfriend tells you, John, so you can understand the news. You've been in the news. Is that true? No. No, that is true. Where you can't speak, that word should not be, that should be excluded. I don't think they would use Pelosi.

Do you think they would use Pelosi on Channel 5? No. We tell people, do it a way Nate would understand. So I guess you're right. Do you all have a picture of me on the wall? That's who you think about. This is our argument. Yeah, the greatest average American.

That's what it's about. Yeah, it's a picture of me behind the camera, and you just go, act like you're talking to him. And is he going to get it? Is he going to get it? Yeah. So is plosive a form of alliteration? Plosive.

Plosive. It's a sound that will. It's a sound. Can you look it up? Yeah, can you use it? It's literally where you're blowing air. There's the sounds where air comes out that will hit the mic. That's what these windscreens are for on the end of the microphone

is to stop some of that. Yeah, use it in a sentence, like for real. That was – Like the way is it – that was a lot of Pelosive words. You should lean away from – Yeah. You should lean away from the mic when you use a plosive okay can you do another sentence because i'm my theory is that there's only one way to use one time to use this word

like be mindful of plosives when you're speaking into the microphone and it just happened to be a lot of p words yeah so that was just pet control protect your pets from pesky pet yeah that was just uh yeah i didn't say you you didn't read it wrong or anything i'm just saying it's it's a lot of p's and b's but i was focused on the p's and b's but it's really more about the sounds that those p's and b's make yeah it's those when you say those letters with the you're like you're you're explosive is that what they did? They just said, it's explosive. And he goes, that's cheating when they made that up.

Shorten it. This word, they go, yeah, dude, they just took explosive and just said plosive. Tongue at the end. When was this word invented? 1994? It goes. I don't even know what that first word is. The occlusion?

Terminology? Plosive refers to the release burst or plosion of the consonant. So that's when. Like Africa. People are out here learning. Homeschool moms should let their kids listen to this episode. Yeah. They're going to learn.

Because they would learn plosive. Yeah. They would learn that it's not that impressive. was this word invented it had to be pretty soon recent it doesn't have that on here there's no there's no yeah they know what it is because a guy did it himself on that you wait is there i bet there's a chance that it's yeah is it you aaron yeah also i didn't write this wikipedia entry i know but you're the one that knows how to do computer stuff and you and you make up words so my greatest concern is that he's been just roaming around this earth saying that and no one's ever checked him on it and no one knows

what he's talking about they just go huh okay the whole production crew knew what i meant right away and y'all noticed that during the ad read that it was a lot of plosives? Yeah, yeah. I bet if you look at it. You guys are all lying, dude. Yeah. And you've said this. You've used this word before.

We're the blue collar guys. Y'all are the living up on ivory tower. No, no. Don't do this. You have the luxury of not having to know what this stuff means, dude. We're in the thick of it. I'm not booking Hy-Vee, dude. Yeah, yeah.

I did all these Christmas party, dude. It's a little less money. Hy-Vee's nice. That's what you did? Yeah. That's a high end. They're coming to Tennessee. I don't think it's high.

It's only Publix. It's along the lines of, yeah, thank you. Yeah, probably. It's a good, you know. It's not Kroger. Yeah, but if you would do it. I've done a show for Dollar General. Oh, probably. It's a good, you know. It's not Kroger. Yeah, but if you would do it. I've done a show for Dollar General. Oh, yeah.

I did a corporate gig for a window and glass installation company in Rogers, Arkansas. Yeah. Their Christmas party, and they had a bad year. Oh, really? And the whole beginning of the event was the owner talking to the employees going, like, I know it's been a bad year, but things will get better next year. Yeah. We got a comedian here.

I think I made $100. I bombed so bad. You should have just gave it back to the company. Yeah. Y'all need it more than I do. Yeah, yeah. That would have been a great opener. Look, I'm not going to take the money tonight

because apparently y'all need this more than I do. That would have broke the ice, and you probably would have got that company going. That's for sure. But I needed that money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to take this money. You go, I got to get home, and I need. Drove in a day early for this.

Yeah. Anybody at the top, if you're like, oh, whatever you imagine, something like Waffle House. The top guys, the top eight at Waffle House are killing it. Oh, yeah. They're like, I work at Waffle House. You're like, ugh. You're like. No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no. Yeah, they're like, we're doing just fine. Yeah, I would think they work in, they would say I work in Waffle House corporate. Like I think that's what I, I know someone that works in Dollar General. He works at the corporate. He just doesn't work for Dollar General and he works at the corporate. He just doesn't work for Dollar General. I think you can also tell, to be honest. If I'm not trying to be judgmental, when a guy goes

to work at Waffle House, I think you can eyeball him and you can go like... You can guess. I could see you asking the CEO of Waffle House, like, you work in this... What store do you work in? I could see you asking that. You would do it. Like you work in this, what store are you working in? I could see you asking that. Oh, why me? You would do it.

You would do it. You would go in. I mean, he just shot a video at Waffle House. Yeah, I shot one or two. One or two.

There's more to come. I think Derek, Derek Stroop has a joke. He did it when we did in Bentonville, Arkansas, which is the home of Walmart. He goes, this is the only place you're like you work at Walmart or for Walmart it's very different yeah very different yeah you're like oh yeah Walmart is like you roll your eyes when you think of

Walmart be like yeah they're doing just fine I mean they would do I was not I did not know this, but I mean, I was talking to Felix, our neighbor, you know. But he was, Walmart's like so big, dude. Like the government has to know what they're up to. Oh, yeah. Because they're just, they employ more people than you. You didn't know they were that big? No, I did, but you just don't think about it. They're like the biggest private employer in the country.

I know that they're big, yes. But I've never never but it's it's just when you hear it in dumbed down terms i'm sorry i'm not reading the new york journal and it's not a thing he goes that's the thing that he reads this is the only thing anybody knows it's five people you gotta have an iq because you can't find it because it's a website subscription only yeah so you probably hear all about this stuff but I'm saying when the New York Journal the New York Journal when you think uh when you you know you think like the Walmart like if Walmart does it makes a big move like they have to tell the government that's pretty crazy to be that big of a company

that you're like does Nate Land have to tell the government. That's pretty crazy. To be that big of a company that you're like... Does Nateland have to tell the government when you do stuff? Do they know about the studio? Not all of us believe in the government. That's true. They do not know about the studio. They don't know. We're hoping to be Nateland.

It's probably the same as if you tell someone working for Walmart or for Waffle House. It's probably the same as telling a stranger you're a comedian yeah you're like all right this guy's on unemployment for sure yeah you're like no this guy's actually doing this guy's doing great yeah okay if you say i'm a comedian the general consensus is it's not going well right yeah because there's like three comedians that anybody knows in the grand you say i'm a comedian and they don't personally look at you and know who you are they assume

you're on food stamps i'm i'm guessing or have another job you didn't know how to go through the process to get food stamps yeah that's what it is yeah you couldn't file the paperwork for it like i when i i did uh what's it called? Jury duty. And then I said I was a comedian. But then I didn't want to say that, so I said a podcaster. And then they kicked me out. They were like, no. They go, well, you're not. No.

You said, hi, I'm John Crist. I'm a podcaster. Yeah, I didn't know what to, because I thought I wanted to try to be a part of it. I wanted to be in it. You should have said one of your older jobs. I don't want to it. You should have said one of your older jobs. I don't want to lie. It's under oath to go to jail. Chick-fil-A line cook?

What would you have said? What was your last job? Landscaping. Landscaping. Oh, yeah. Okay. I'm a landscaper? Yeah.

I said a podcaster. Were you wearing that? I'm a landscaper? And they go, no, this guy's a podcaster. He's lying. That's what they said? Yeah. I'm a landscaper. no, this guy's a podcaster. He's lying. That's what they said. I'm a landscaper. I'm going to write down podcaster.

That's not cool, man. Podcaster? That sounds terrible. That does sound terrible. What's worse, comedian or podcaster? Podcaster. Yeah. It's tough.

Podcaster is a tough look. It's like they're worse than influencer. Yeah, influencers don't, I think, don't have any, they don't care that they're saying it. The thing with podcasters is we're embarrassed because we're comedians, so we, I think, we don't like saying something like that. Yeah. But where influencers, I think, are, think, they're kind of oblivious to it, and they're happy to say, I'm an influencer.

They're into it. But it's like, that isn't, you know, it's like. It's not a job. That means you're, yeah. What is your job? I influence people. That's what they would have to say. Sounds evil.

It sounds, yeah. I manipulate minds. You're off jury duty for sure. Yeah. I'm an influencer would have to say. Sounds evil. I manipulate minds. You're off jury duty for sure. I'm an influencer? Bye. Immediately. And I'm going to influence this jury to be guilty. They go, sir, you don't even know what the crime is. Just wait. I bet he did it.

You don't get this far if you don't do it. You know what I mean? They were going around and interviewing everybody. And they were like, what do you do for us? You got to say it out loud? Yes. And the one guy said he did Civil War reenactments. And they were like, all right, well, thanks.

That's a full-time job. See ya. Whoa. Yeah, put him on trial. I bet he made that up. To get out of it? He probably did that on the weekends. But, I mean, maybe, yeah.

He probably maybe did it on the weekends. Maybe it's like he maybe, yeah. He probably, maybe did it on the weekends. Maybe it's like, it's so crazy that he's like, I don't want to do this, so I'll just say my, I'll just, I'll yell out my passion. That's not a lot, yeah. Yeah. And they didn't even kick him. I thought before they kicked him off,

they should at least ask, like, well, whose side? Yeah. That's right. Yeah. What war? Civil war? Yeah, Civil War reenactment okay do you know the case i think you can tell yeah but i'm not gonna say it looking at him

do you know the case what would you say yeah what was the you want me to say uh murder it was a murder trial whoa it was a criminal murder trial with a gun oh wow that's why they asked and you would have been totally live streaming that whole TV in the jury box. Hey, what's up? They go, no, you're gone. You would have done a video, juries be like. It's like illegal footage. Juries be like.

And then they got to redo the whole trial. It's a mistrial. They would declare a mistrial, yeah. You would order Chick-fil-A for the jury group just to make a video? Yeah. trial like in the it's a mistrial they would declare a mistrial yeah well what you would order chick-fil-a for the jury group just to make a video yeah hey let's get chick-fil-a again they're like oh god juror number eight is a burrito deliberating with everybody no well the one girl they said what are your what is your um what do you do for a living what does your spouse do for a living and then what is your um what do you do for a living what does your spouse do for a living and then what is

your involvement with guns because it was murdered by a firearm and then the one she said do you have any children and this one lady said well i'm uh uh do you have any pets she goes no just my my fur babies and they go what they go fur babies and she goes they go well thank you and then immediately gone immediately gone because you said i don't have kids i have like pets yeah and they go now bring back the podcaster and you're like what up and you're back in they call you in the car come back down here yes well i don't have anything to do so there was like jury duty i was like people always try to get out of it you try to get out of it or you want to do it i've never been summoned so i was never i was i remember i was summoned once when i went when i was in new york

and i don't think i even went i was like too young i mean i'm like you know my 20s i don't know what it really is like and so i get it and I don't understand that it's like telling me, it's like, well, you got to show up on this day to go. So I just didn't go. But it wasn't because I was deliberately not trying to go. I didn't, I don't know. I just didn't know. You know, it's like, I was like, are they like saying like I can,

like maybe I want to go, and you're like, if you want to go, come this day. It's like an invitation. If you want to come, check it out. Well, I figured, yeah. It's free. Do you want to go. And you're like, if you want to go, come this day. It's like an invitation. If you want to come, check it out. Well, I figured, yeah. It's free. Do you want to do jury duty? Come do it. And then, so I think I didn't come.

Nothing ever happened to that. It's probably a foul on you. It could be. Yeah, you're on a list. And then I got it. I got it for, if you want to get out of it, I got it in the best case scenario. I got a. If you want to get out of it, I got it in the best case scenario. I got it during COVID. I got jury-juried during COVID

and they canceled it. My name got picked and I didn't have to do anything. They just go, it's not happening because of COVID. Then I'm out. They didn't do it over Zoom? I bet they were doing Zoom journey. At the time when I got it, it was still pretty... Pre-Zoom. It was kind of crazy.

They were still just, they go, all right, we're not doing it. And it was like, I mean, best case scenario to be like, so I have it checked off. Can they ask you again? Oh, in like 20 years or something? I thought they can't ask you. I don't know. I don't know.

Brian, you feel like you've done it every year. Yeah. You're just a fan. You're at the trail anyway. Yeah. Yeah, do you ask? I'm going to be in the stands anyway. I want to be an extra, so eventually they'll pick me.

Now, I got summoned once, just like you, during COVID, and then it got canceled. Ruth's got to do jury duty next week or the week after. Oh, wow. When was yours? Mine was like two months ago. It was awesome. I had to cancel the show.

Did you follow the trial after the fact? Oh, yeah. Oh, you would have had to cancel the shows for? I would have. No, I would have wanted to cancel the shows for? I would have. No, I would have wanted to because it was sweet. I was trying to be involved. You would have so been

on the news. No, 100%. The jury sequestered. They got one of my buddies. My buddy was on the jury. I didn't get accepted, but my buddy, I was like calling him

every night for like updates. I was like, dude, what are they doing? How do you even have a buddy that also gets jury? He was in there. I don't know. He was in there. He didn't want to. Yeah, it was like, dude, what are they doing? How do you even have a buddy that also gets jury read? He was in there. I don't know. He was in there.

He didn't want to, yeah, it was like, but the guy was guilty. Did he, did he tell you all about it? I can't say, I don't think. Here's what I think.

I don't think you're, are you allowed to say that ever? I can't say. Yeah, you can say. Did he do it or not do it? I don't think I can say, but if you're, if you're watching at home my head's going up and down okay there was like a it was a murder trial yeah and they like

the guy walked out like he was there yeah and i was like that's him that's the guy you get that far that you see yeah yeah the guy's out there with his attorney. So you got to answer in front of them? In front of him. Yeah. And I was like, that's him? Did he start laughing when you said podcaster? He's like, at least I'm not that guy. He goes, what'd he say?

What'd he say? It's more embarrassing than what I did. I should have killed you. I would have got away with it. Yeah, they have to review everybody. They have to like, I thought it was awesome. I think your buddy got summoned and you didn't have anything to do. So you just went down there with him.

No. That's what I think happened. I was in the didn't have anything to do, so you just went down there with him and tried to get on it. That's what I think happened. I was in the courtroom, and then they have 12. Yeah. And then the defense on the other side, I don't know what the jobs are, they have a certain amount of people. Yeah, no, he's gone. Like, fur babies.

And then the other guy goes, like, if I was on trial, I'll tell you out of this room who would I want to sympathize. He would be on my team. He would probably be against me. You would be against me. I'd tell you out of this room who would I want to sympathize he would be on my team he would probably be against me you would be against me I'd take you I could convince you either side yeah you can get me

yeah cause they want yeah they go what about that guy I think that's a good dude yeah that's what the lawyer says I think that guy's a pretty fun hang

but well you don't they said they don't they said they don't want anyone they don't want anyone because i looked it up they don't want anyone with a strong opinion yeah they want people that can be yeah so they go yeah like what do you do what do i you may tell you what i do of the see if i get to do this jury of the guy that clearly did this yeah i'm a judge yeah so they go we we talked about this maybe three or four years ago but there's for patent law patent lawsuits it can be extremely complex and there's a lot of technical

language and stuff used so the majority of these cases or at least a high amount of them are tried in one county in texas yeah because statistically the jury pool is the easiest to convince of from there from anything yes so like major tech lawsuits are in this one county in texas because they know i can convince these people of anything like that's like they're not going to understand the technical language yeah i think there's a movie with windshield wipers. Mm-hmm. With Greg Kinnear? Yeah. Yeah, I talked about that recently on here.

You recommended it to Dusty. To Dusty, yeah. Does that take place in that county in Texas? Oh, I don't know that, but it felt like it was a patent lawsuit. Yeah. There was like 100 people, and I go, if I was on trial, I could look at those people and be like, who would I want? Just by looking at them. And that, you assume a lot of things. But the way people are dressed, the way you go, that person would be sympathetic to me.

Yeah, I think they know. And I think they know to ask. I could be swayed so easily. I'd be the perfect juror. Or the worst juror. I'm not saying I'm a comedian. I'm in the field of drama. They'd be like, no, you're out.

Content creator. You're out. I'm in the field of drama. They'll be like, no, you're out. Content creator. You're out. Worse. It would be brutal. I would say it, but I'm a stand-up comedian. You would say that? I would, just because it's like, you know how people used to lie about what your job is? Yeah.

It was always like, if I had to lie, they're going to say something else and blah, blah, blah. Like in an Uber. You don't want to have the conversation. I'm a stand-up comedian. Now, I'll try to not say it. They're like, what I have to lie, they're going to say something else and blah, blah, blah. Like in an Uber. You don't want to have the conversation. I'm a stand-up comedian. Now, I'll try to not say it. They're like, what are you in town for? I'll be like, just visiting, hanging out with some friends. I'll try not to say what I'm in town for.

I say I'm unemployed. Like in an Uber. What do you do for a living? You go, unemployed. To the other guy, unemployed? Yeah. He goes, I'm unemployed. Hey, how do you sign up for this Uber thing, dude?

How do you start this? Well, at least to say I'm a writer. I tried that for a little while. You know, he's a big Uber driver. I was, yeah. He was. Do you ask what people do? Oh, he talks to them all.

He lets them put their purse up front next to his. And then he suggests they sit up front. I clutch them both. He goes, why are the back doors locked? You should come up here with me. The back door's locked. No, because sometimes the front seat's pushed all the way up. This one's back.

It's all laid back. And he's got stuff in the other seat. And you go, I guess I got to sit up front. And he goes, I guess so. I got a question did they did they profile do you guys profile people and then turn the music based on who you're looking at i'm gonna have a joke about that the music you have a joke about people doing it to you yeah yeah did you i mean what did you have music going in the car when you pick somebody up um yeah i think so yeah i mean i never drove for uber dave ramsey's radio show

104.5 the zone probably that yeah that's what you probably had somebody's from out of town they're gonna hear about the titans practice facility for two hours what do you think about the titans this year you're, I'm not from here. I'm from Cincinnati. I don't care. You're going to learn now. Yeah. Yeah.

No, I have a joke about me being profiled, which is true. I've gotten into Ubers, and there'll be like a young black man driving. He'll put it on like 70s light rock. And I'm like, I swear, I don't think. You were not listening to this. That's what he was listening to before I got in this car. But that's pretty good. That's probably, you know, it adds to the, like, that's. You were not listening to this. That's what he was listening to before I got in his car. But that's pretty good. That's probably, you know, it adds to the, like, that's a guy that's doing a service.

Yeah. He's going, I'm betting this guy. He's right. If you got in, I would turn the radio off. Because I would be like, this looks like a guy that wants that radio off. That would be the judge. Why is the radio always off? Because you put a silence.

Yeah. Yeah. All right.

I've walked five miles every day but Sunday, this past Sunday, just my body was hurting. I was supposed to walk. We got up, went to church, and the day ended up just kind of getting away from me, but I was hurting so bad. From walking? From walking. I walked and I worked out one, like, a full workout one day.

And I was just so, like, Thursday or something, I was just so sore. And I was like, all right, I was supposed to go walk before church, and I was like, I didn't really get up in time. Our church is 1130 or something like that. 11? 11, maybe, I think we went to maybe, I think we went to the 11. That's the whole day. Yeah.

Well, the church, one service is at 9.45, and then the other one's at maybe 11.30 or 11. But so we were going to go to the 11. I didn't really get up in time to walk. When I go walk, I'm walking five miles. It takes- That's two hours. It's two hours.

Yeah. But I enjoy it. In your neighborhood? Huh? You got to go to like a trail no in my neighborhood i just go pick up path i mean we walk down some trail but i walk holly uh i take her usually for the first half so maybe it'll be like two and a half miles i kind of get her on and then uh so you're walking like a 30 minute mile So you're walking like a 30-minute mile? Close to it? Is it?

Maybe. 20 minutes. Yeah. Five miles an hour, a little under two hours, I mean. Yeah. Well, it's just like I enjoy it. Let me tell you what, man. It's a wonderful way to start your day.

Amen, brother. It really is. And the fact that it's two hours is it's so long that you just kind of like, you just kind of, I go away. I don't have my phone. You're like, I'm not. I'm just minding my own business. Eric has been walking with me. And so, like, he comes with me.

And then me and Eric walk and talk. Is this a guy? Eric, the barber, trainer barber. Oh, especially you call a guy and say you want to go on a walk. Yeah. I find any man I can. Find the barber. Trainer barber. Oh, especially you call a guy and say you want to go on a walk. Yeah. I find any man I can. Find the closest man to me. I ask him, sir, will you walk with me for these

next five miles? If you texted me and said, can I go for a walk? I would go... That's a red flag. Hmm? That's a red flag. But I'm doing it because he's training. A, I can't get up. And you know what?

I don't need him to help me walk. But if he's not... But he helps. But he stands. He holds under my arms. Yeah. He holds me under my arms. You can do it, big guy.

He walks behind me. But it helps to know he's sitting outside my driveway. Yeah, somebody holding you accountable. That's all it is. Oh, okay. He just goes left, right, left, right, left, right. And then I go, I can't do it. And then I do like a little full body with him,

just like these little weights. It's almost like doing a burpee without going to the part that's the worst part of the burpee. Does he walk backwards in front of you like a tour guide as you're walking? No, no. We just walk. We have a wonderful, we're bonding. We have long conversations about a lot of stuff, career stuff.

Oh, yeah. Like, you should come. Dude, it's amazing. I'm going to try. You want to come out and walk with it? We're walking tomorrow morning. Well. You come walk with me tomorrow morning, and I'm supposed to golf at Legends.

Four hours? Two hours of walking? We get up, and we have a nice little journey, a little walk. And I got a 30-minute drive on each side. That's a three-hour commitment. Is that too hard? You said you're walking for two hours. I never heard of this.

What do you have to do? I guess golf is that. Yeah, I could golf. I could golf. You could walk playing golf. You know what? I could see that tomorrow. Maybe if I'm golfing tomorrow,

maybe I will be like, look, I'll just walk when I golf. And that kind see that tomorrow. Maybe if I'm golfing tomorrow, maybe I will be like, look, I'll just walk when I golf. Walk 18. And that kind of solves that. And then the second hole, you call, you go, bring me a cart. Bring me a cart. I could walk nine holes and then get a cart. But I mean, yeah, walking, golfing would be.

It's like seven miles, walking 18. So it's even more. Yes, you walk nine, you'd be set. Yeah. All right. Florence Linderman. That sounds like a nice woman florence linderman uh i feel like you say that and he goes i'm a man because that also feels like a name where they were florence linderman yeah hello it's florence linderman uh hey ma'am. Sir. All right, sir.

My bad. Congratulations to Nate and the Nateland Company. Wow. You have made a tremendous stride since 2020 when I found y'all. Your studio is gorgeous

it will not go anywhere I will be leaving soon the podcast will be here to stay you are nailed it Matt the Nate Land podcast will die in this building no we're going to be doing it. It's been fun.

I like coming down here. We have new material tonight at Zaney's. It's perfect. We've got a really perfect situation right here. You just come down a little bit early, and then all of us are going to, I think, go up on new material night. Oh, yeah.

Building a new hour. You got to tape a new hour. I got to tape a new hour. I got nothing. No, I'm ready to go. Did you just tape a special? Yeah, two weeks ago. Wow. How'd it go? I'm ready to go. Did you just tape a special? Yeah, two weeks ago. Wow.

How'd it go? Real good. Real good. Did you do the Gas South? You filmed one there? Where? Did you do one in Duluth? I did.

Yeah, Tennessee Kid was done at your place. Where you did yours. Yeah, Gas South. Yes, that's a great spot. Yeah, yeah. You call it the Georgia Kid? Yeah. It's a little different.

Yeah. Yeah. Georgia Kid. Super different. Yeah. Yeah. Short chicken. Super different. Aaron Bowles, one week you hear trees being cut in the background, a couple weeks later, a new set in a new location. That's true. It did feel like a last straw.

You're like, all right, we got to get out of here. That's enough. We got to get out of here. I tell you what, I'm enjoying it. No, he's implying those trees were the set. One week you hear trees being cut in the background, a couple weeks later, a new set in a new location. I thought the comment was saying you're complaining about the location,

and the next thing you know, we're in a new location. Yeah, that is funny. The next thing you know, we're using the tree from, yeah. That was cut. Yeah, I cut the tree down because I was so mad at my wife for planting that at that time. What do you hear in the background now what are you gonna hear the police sirens ambulances not an air conditioning

somebody asking for money yeah yeah we heard like police sirens and stuff yeah you know we're here at zany's and it's uh i saw it last night at the dave smith, when it rains, it's so loud. Zanies is almost a perfect club in so many ways, but there's just the one thing about it. When it rains, dude, it is so loud. I wonder if it sounds like that over here. I haven't heard it yet. Yeah.

Something about the roof over there. It's crazy. It's loud. Yeah, Dave Smith was at Zanies. I started with Dave Smith. If you don't know Dave Smith, he's very political, but he's crazy. Yeah, it's loud. Yeah, Dave Smith was at Zany's. I started with Dave Smith. If you don't know Dave Smith, he's very political, but it's very fun. He's great. I've been with Dave for 20 years.

So he's starting to do great things. Yeah. Yeah, it's the best. And if you come down, I would say, if you're a fan of this podcast and you come to Zany's, take account of, between me, Nate, and Dusty, the priority we've been put around this building. You were first on the wall outside. Yeah.

Then they're like, let's keep going. And I got second. And then Dusty got last. But then Dusty's photo in the lobby is gigantic. Yeah, it is. His in the lobby is great. You're in a great spot on the Zany's wall. On the wall. Yeah. They started with you because the lobby is great. You're in a great spot on the wall.

Yeah. They started with you because it was going to just be that wall, right? Let's keep going. Killer B is me. Yeah, I think it's good that they kept going

because it is great. It is great. It is great. And Dusty's... You're in a good spot. You're right on the corner. I mean, everybody sees you even more than they would see mine.

Oh, because I'm on the eighth. Nah, I wouldn't think so. Huh? Because yours is perfect. You kind of come down that hill. You see yours for a long time. And you've got your full face. That's kind of like of our career.

Like, I think you're going to see me for a long time. And John, you better look at her. You're going to miss. John's going to get painted over here pretty quick. Don't blink. They could switch me out for at any time that'd be funny if they painted all our faces

to the we can make y'all anybody we want you to be depends on who they fill you in with yeah but then you gotta next week you're gonna show up and be like

is that Hannah Gadsby and they just changed they just changed you. Why did you have to choose that? Because I was just trying to say someone. No, I think it's perfect. It is a pretty good one. It could be at any time. But then inside, which is the lab, it's just created.

You've got a whole wall. You've got a memorabilia wall. You've got a shadow box. You've got a shadow box. Yeah, very nice. We have the guitar that i smashed for snl it's on the wall it's on the wall and then uh yeah the bridgestone record yeah it's very cool yeah it's very nice and dusty if you can't miss dusty that you can't miss how

did that get so big it's just a big thing it looks great but yeah you can't mix dusty he's big yeah we had to put him in here he wants i'm gonna name this the dusty podcast uh matt yep matt malone i love how nate has traveled the world is now selling out arenas has been on numerous tv shows doing a stand-up but when talking about his new studio, he says, we're the real deal. It's like a real thing. Yeah. That's how I feel. I feel that.

Yeah, I don't think. Because none of us feel like we're really professional. No. I sure don't. Donna Harton. I'm going to miss Holly, and I'm sure she's already missing you. Could you maybe bring her in as a guest on occasion? I think so.

We could bring Holly in. That'd be fun. Today would have been a good day to bring her in it's nate's daughter yeah no dog no yeah i knew that i knew that yeah yeah laurie barks okay she does okay yeah yeah uh laurie peacock uh it was in just seeing brian muffin baitates at a new angle. Bran Muffin. Bran Muffin Bates. Get that right.

Brian Muffin Bates. That's why he just called him Muffin. I read it. These. Bran Muffin Bates at a new angle since he really gives off dad at the head of the dinner table vibes. It will be worth the change to see Needland expanding with more good, clean, funny podcasts. Yeah, well, you're switched now.

I enjoy it over here, I think. You like it in that spot? I think I do. There's going to be other podcasts in this set? We got one. Not in here, though. Yeah. Well, I think they will do podcasts in here.

It will, i think eventually whatever this room becomes oh yeah they will just either if they're not a part of ours yeah so dustin nickerson yeah uh which makes sure everybody go listen to dustin nickerson's podcast uh him and melissa that we they are nateland pot they're under the nateland podcast network now so that was just announced last week uh so they're so but they shoot theirs in san diego but if we have other ones uh yeah i don't know i mean yeah we we haven't figured out yeah we're gonna cover it up and like they would just be we'd have yeah so he came in to announce his podcast but he stayed at my house so does do you guys not cover lodging? We don't.

We do. And we go, see what John's doing. He got a buyout. Yeah. He got a buyout. $100. Yeah, we gave him $40. Well, John charges $60.

I'm losing money. Yeah. Okay. I read that one. Georgia Peach Oh there you go Oh me? Georgia Peach

Oh that's their name? You're from Georgia Oh yeah You're Georgia That's me baby I can't believe only Aaron Knew about Ambrosia Do you know what Ambrosia is?

No idea Never heard of it That was such a staple At places like Piccadilly Cafeteria Definitely a solid thing It was fruit salad with marshmallows and coconut i always hated it fruit salad with marshmallows and i mean who's

the blue collar guy now i think i'm that golden ambrosia yeah i think that's what you say piccadilly cafeteria well i think because you this is what you and your family would serve to people like us uh when you go, when y'all, you know. We have like a theme dinner at the house. No, I'm saying like for you're feeding the homeless, is what I'm saying. So y'all would feed the middle class because you couldn't even understand

homeless. Y'all were so high up that you thought, well, someone that works at Walmart is basically, you know, homeless. Let's feed them. Let's treat them well. And they walk into, yeah, your family walks into Walmart and goes – Just go buy a tub of ambrosia and give it out to them. And what does she mean, places like Piccadilly?

What does that mean? I think it's a restaurant. Cafeteria style restaurant. Right, like a bad place. Is it called Piccadilly? I love Piccadilly. Yeah, Piccadilly is a place in Alabama. We used to have our pregame meal there Fridays before football games.

All right. At the Piccadilly. And then Golden Corral after that. That was a place where you could bring the church bulletin and get a discount. Really? After church, you bring the church bulletin. Oh, that's great. They were like, you went to church.

Yeah. They were like trying to encourage people to go to church, I guess. That's great. Krispy Kreme had, if you bring in your report card, for every A, you get a donut. Wow. We talk about incentivizing every A, you get a donut. Wow. We'll talk about incentivizing. Yeah. Yeah.

That is pretty good. That would be a good incentive. They still do that? I don't know. I don't know if it was just the one by our house. Is that how you got into Notre Dame? Yeah. Say less. Straight A's this whole childhood

dang dude this guy's killing it what if we all find out it wasn't Krispy Kreme never did this it was just your family did this to you Krispy Kreme's like I don't even know what he's talking about he's like let me go in there first and make sure they're still doing it

he's like when my son comes in a 12 year charade I don't even know if they're still doing it. He's like, when my son comes in. A 12-year charade. He goes, I don't even know if they're open. Let me run in real fast. His dad goes, hey, I got a son. You're noticed. There's his senior photo. How we know it's him, you'll know who I'm talking about.

He gets that picture sitting in the back of the van. he's gonna get listen when this kid comes in he's gonna show you his report card and he goes are you still doing the thing oh yeah we're still doing it we're still doing it i have a hard time looking at dusty's picture man it's uh as it does dusty a hard time looking at Dusty's picture, man. It's tough. I said Dusty, a different time in his life, man. Yeah. Much different time. I mean, look at that Netflix picture, and then look at that. It doesn't even look like him.

Yeah. Honestly, it's like borderline doesn't look like him. Which Dusty's doing better? The first one. Definitely the Dusty now. I say the first one was. Did you know him in high school? You didn't know him?

No. No. No, we grew up maybe 35 minutes from each other, which is pretty crazy to think about. We didn't meet until Nashville. Dusty in high school was a kid that played Stan in Eminem's music video. Listen, if this kid was on the football team, this kid was smoking cigarettes under the bleachers.

This kid was student body president. No, he was student body president. I was a perfect attendant. Just a nice guy. I did nothing wrong. I was a perfect kid. Just showed up, cheered. I was a toupee model.

Yeah. You were the drum major for sure. That was a toupee model. Yeah. You were the drum major for sure. He was Benjamin Button. It just caught it at the right time. It just worked out perfectly. This is the only picture that

looked normal. Because that was the best year of my life. It's the only time everything lined up. It's downhill from there. That Jen Button. Alright. Jake McCleary. Looking for the new Nate Land

showcase, except I have no idea when it is, because Nate described it as every Tuesday once a month. You can't figure it out from that. I don't know what to tell you. Makes sense. First Tuesday each month starts August 6th. So then it's September 3rd,

October 1st, November 4th. And the first one sold out already. Oh, it is? Oh, nice. First one sold out, get your, it is? Oh, nice. Great. First one sold out. Get your tickets. It's going to be... We are starting to build this world

out. And so we're going to have a lot of great comics on it. They will be at the lab. Hopefully we will start doing more shows. But Tuesday, the first Tuesday each month, we're going to be,

I think we're filming them. There it is. So it's, yeah. It's, you know, come see these comics. These are all we're booking. Lucy's, how did she normally say that?

Preacher Lawson. Oh, yeah. Lucy's, yeah, Lucy's booking it. But, because she's the best. She booked the first showcase that we did. And so this is similar to this and then similar to that.

And we're going to just be, you know, just having stuff out on the YouTube page, on everything. Just, yeah, I'm very, very excited about it. And, you know, we are. We're becoming a real thing. Holly Ballard. I was shocked to hear that John Chris had never had anyone comment on his thumbs. I, too, have distal hyperextensibility. Okay, don't say it like that.

That's pretty great. I said that good, right? Yeah, you did. Hyperextensibility. I think it was distal, but yeah. Well, distal, that's the hard part. You said distal. Distal.

Distal hyper extensibility. That sounds like something you don't want. I thought I just had a thumb, and now I have this. So much so that my thumbs go back into 90-degree angles. People's reaction when seeing them are always entertaining, but y'all's reaction to John's are by far the best. Yeah. It's cool, man. Do I have say if like if i fill out an application do i have to say i have you need to say that i do yeah jury duty yeah i'm a podcaster with distal

hyper extensibility and they go get that guy out start putting a ramp up for you when you do shows I think they're changing the doorknobs. You know, when you go to put a hook on them. John's coming. Change the doorknobs. Get the staff in here. I think when I go to, what's the thing at the airport when you got to say, you do the clear. I go, I got to opt out. What do you do the clear. I go, I got to opt out. What do you do, stand on your head?

I got to opt out. They go, can you hold that upside down? They got to come in from the top. I can't. I can't. I can't do it. Yeah, it's probably, yeah, it could be good, though, because once they got all their fingerprints,

they're like the distal hypersensitive something. It's just too long of a word. But it goes on too long. And so, but your group will be like, you know, you'll be running. We're ahead of it. Yeah, yeah. You'll be, yeah. Now I have this for the rest of my life?

Yeah, I don't think you do anything. You can probably go to physical therapy and work on it. Surgery. Yeah, and that's just they're telling you don't do it. That's all they're going to tell you. Hyper extensibility. Physical therapy can't do anything like that. Distal hyper extensibility.

No shame in those thumbs, my man. That's a callback from a year ago. Lauren Marksbury. It's rude to point with one finger in Japan, so you have to make a sweeping gesture with your whole hand. Imagine people doing that at Chipotle. Yeah, you do a sweeping. I would like the beans.

You don't have an accent. You don't have an accent. I don't know how he's from accent. I don't know how. Now he's from Italy. I don't know how. He's from Italy. I would like the beans. I would like the beans.

And they're like, none of it makes sense. You're like, well, you're at a Mexican restaurant. And you're in Japan. I would like the beans. He also has an accent. That's a great comment. Yeah. Or is that a reference to something you talked about last week?

Yeah, Chipotle. We're telling you, when I order a Chipotle, I try to not point. And try to do it without doing any physical movements towards your ingredients that you want. And just go off words. It's a fun little exercise to do. Apparently Gary Goldman has a joke about it. Oh, really?

Yeah. He has a joke about it. Yeah, Chipotle. Very funny joke. Yeah. He's like, you don't have to point at the corn. They know where the corn is. Yeah.

You found it. You don't even work here. Yeah. And Aaron, is that how you exercise? You said it was a very fun exercise. What did you want me to do? I didn't even want to do it. Yeah, coming from the guy that walks four miles a day now.

Dude, I've been five. Five miles a day is three. I wish four miles. It takes you three hours or something. Yeah. That's unbelievable. Because I get up. I mean, dude, it's a full two hours.

Before church. Yeah. It bumps into church. Some 11 o'clock, we're in trouble. Okay. What percentage of the people that listen to this podcast do you think go to church? Honest guess. Oh, I think I'd be at least 50%.

Yeah. Why? 11.30 is maniacal for the service. What do you mean? That's Pelosi. It goes. Well, if there was only- 11.30?

No. You're not going to church at 11.30. 11.30 is our mass time every Sunday, Monday. Well, I meant like church. I don't know. Maybe your church is 11. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just joking.

I meant church, church. I mean, my church is 11 no I'm just kidding I'm just joking I meant church church I mean my church is at 9 o'clock and it's like sold out they didn't call it sold out you wouldn't go to a church that says we're sold out you wouldn't go to that one

to be seen John's like I have a residency at first base sold out can't get in sold out sold out

boom boom I made it and do you go to that one Or the added shows I go to the I go to the matinee You say an 11.30 is late

To start church Yes What time is your second church The second 11 9 and 11 And I think Maybe ours is at 11

I could be wrong And I'm saying 11.30 And then by the time I stroll in there It's 11.30 It'm saying 1130 and then by the time I stroll in there it's 1130 it's 1130 we would do

5pm I actually think it's 11 I think we do at 5pm I actually think it is 11 he gets there

at 1130 to be seen I get there at 1130 walks through the front yeah yeah another band

kind of you know you're getting in there Laura and them are there and then I drop Laura I drop Laura and harpoff and i go find park and it takes a good 30 minutes it's about time i go and it's weird at our church because they do

the preaching first yeah and then the music i go i think you're coming in between services that's the best way to go i catch the back end in the first half. And then I'm out. Then I'm out. Yeah, to lunch. Yeah. Well, we have, I don't know if this makes sense. We have a Bible study that we go to, and it's at a house. And the leader goes, hey, we've gotten too big for the house. And he said, no more. No more.

He can't invite anybody else. As Jesus would want it yes that and i go so this guy was like hey like do you like have a bible study and i go nah like you i go no we can't we can't no you can't you can't you go i don't have it where it's sold out it's sold out yeah it is sold out what are you gonna say to him we can? We can't fit more people in there. You can open up some seats. They usually can on a sold out show. But is it at the guy's house? Yeah, it's at his house. Maybe you could be like, have it at your house.

Yeah. You don't have anything going on there. It's wide open. You got, what, a mattress on the floor? Those seats. You got just a mattress and a bucket with your socks in it

bucket I don't know sock bucket is that how a church starts so we go we're just meeting at a house and then he goes hey it's getting a little too big

we gotta meet at the school yeah or we gotta meet at my office yeah and then he goes well to keep the lights on in here we just gotta like can

a couple of y'all start charging yeah just take like 10% of everything and just get it out. And then you go, well, this guy, he, like, has a guitar, so he's probably going to, like, do a little. Now, are we a church now? In your Bible study, do y'all sing?

No, we don't sing. Oh, man. Yeah. I was like, if they play a guitar. That's a church. I couldn't do it. Yeah. No, in a small group?

Oh, in a house. Oh. That's tough. Do you have to talk at every one? Oh, in a house. Oh. That's tough. Do you have to talk at every one? No, I don't usually say anything. If you're new. What you do? It's not rehab.

Yeah. Did you have a hard time switching out of that one thing to get into that one? Your first Bible study? You go, I've been here before. My name's John Chris. No, you don't say your last name. Oh, you don't? Not at rehab.

Oh. Hi, I'm John. And last name. Oh, you don't? Not at rehab. Oh. Hi, I'm John. And they're like, what are you doing? He goes, oh, sorry. Sorry. No, everybody goes, hi, John. Like, that's in the movies. That's in the movies.

What's up, everybody? I'll give you my last name if you want it. Can y'all just meet outside? I don't think in the winter. Yeah, it's like it's a whole thing how many people could you fit

at your house in your the biggest room in your house not more than 30 we couldn't have 30 people in there that's what I'm saying

yeah how big can a Bible study get before you like we gotta convert well I would think it would be I would think you wouldn't even want 30 I would think I wouldn't want to go to something I mean maybe you would because you're would think you wouldn't even want 30.

I would think I wouldn't want to go to something. I mean, maybe you would because you're just like, you could sit in the back and not be. Be a part of it. Yeah. But then you're like, you're basically at a church then. A 30% church. I thought a Bible study was supposed to be more like 10, 12 people and everybody's kind of talking.

Everybody's contributing. Yeah. You think 50% of this podcast listeners go to church? You're asking, I don't know. I mean, I hope so. You think that's high or low? Low. You think it's a lot more than that?

Yeah. I think 50 goes to church. I think the other 50 knows where they're going. Sorry. Sorry to all you. Danny Kerr, Steve Kerr's cousin. I didn't learn to tie my shoes until third grade which is much later

than most kids and I tie my shoes the exact same way as Aaron love it that's cool loop, swoop, and pull no, bunny ears

he does the you do the bunny ears first yeah you make you make you make the loops. Yeah. And then you just do that?

Yeah. I do loop, swoop, and pull. Sorry about our cord. I think I do loop. Sorry. I do loop. Yeah. Got to nod over here, guys.

I don't know what I do. I do this the way that America does it. You have your barber trainer do it for you. Yeah. I go, I haven't been down that far in years. My shoes untied again. I did come out with you guys. There was a lot of guys out there.

It's a big operation. Yeah, a lot of guys. But you know Eric. You've met Eric, right? Yeah. No, but I saw you guys post the tour wrap photo, and I go, this is a lot of guys. Oh, we have a lot of people. You added one person per show for the whole tour.

Yeah. How many did it start with? It started with him a long time ago. Just y'all two? I mean, at the beginning. I grew this thing out. And then it would just mean him. And then it would go, what were you doing?

Just mean you theaters? Or theaters that probably started switching it. And then we got, where were you? We do and just mean you theaters or theaters that probably started switching it. And not in one more person? No, it was just, I think the theater was just us. No, it was just us.

Tennessee Kid was just us. No way. Yeah. There's no Outback rep or no. No, no, no. I think there was that. So three.

I'm talking about, I thought you're talking about comics. Yeah. So there was like one. No, you know that photo. There's like 50 people on that stage. Well, that's because now you got an entire about comics. Yeah, so there's like one. You know that photo, there's like 50 people on that stage. Well, that's because now you got an entire creative audio crew,

and we got a great crew. So we have three semi-trucks, three buses. So there's a lot of people. And that was anybody who had been involved in a show in the whole time. Yeah, in the whole time. That wasn't just a crew from one show. Our promoter, Tony, and Will. I mean, just a million.

Yeah, there's just a lot of people because it's such a big thing. So that's what that became. And then the comics, I just like having Julian usually host Julian McCullough. And then I think he'll be here next week. And then, yeah, then three comics. Just to do a show again we're trying to you know build it up so people can there's comedy for people that they they don't want to listen to you know whatever yeah we and look and then look if we didn't have all my guys we played

softball we would have had nothing you wouldn't have a starting lineup no yeah we had a full-on we had a real game. Yeah. Been five on five. That was the best, dude. Nick in the outfield. That was unbelievable. Yeah, I was thinking about, because you did in Des Moines this weekend. One of your last shows in a club, you'd already started doing theaters,

and I was with you, Des Moines Funny Bone, and the guy came in and said, which one of you is Nate? Yeah, I tell that story. No, the sound guy came in. Yeah, I tell it a little, you know, I lead up to that so it's at least funny. He's TNU up to tell the story. He's already told the punchline. That's like going like, do your joke, Olivia. Tell your Olivia joke.

That's the whole point of the whole joke. Tell your Joan Lee Bonley joke. People yell that to Henry Cho all the time. Tell that Joan Lee Bonley joke. That's the punchline. That's the whole point of the whole joke. Tell your Joan Lee Bonley joke. Yeah. People yell that to Henry Cho all the time. Tell that Joan Lee Bonley joke. Yeah. That's the punchline. That's the punchline. Yeah.

It was very funny. Des Moines Fun and Bone, great club. But then I was in there. I was running my stuff to get ready to go to theaters because I was in theaters. And then we were so odd. Just go there. And it's just like

where you're at like you think you're like I'm about to go on this big theater tour it's going to be big time whatever and the sound guy yeah just opens the door

walks in and goes alright who's Nate? and there's just three of us in there and I had to go I'm Nate and I mean

and just like where he goes so 45 25 10 you know like your typical time you know where it's like I'm Nate. I have to, I'm Nate. And I mean, and just like where he goes, so 45, 25, 10, you know, like a typical, your typical time to the,

you know, where it's like, once you start in theaters, you're like, I'll save the time. Yeah. Yeah. You know,

so yeah, it was great though. Who's Nate? It was the same guy that was pointing at the beans. Yours wasn't, mine was, I added a clap to it. It's a big build up You just go

Do the You know The who's Nate thing And the who's Nate guy Was the same guy That was pointing at the beans At Chipotle He likes the same

There's still Fazoli's around. Yeah, yeah. Fazoli's hits. Drew Maddox owns it. Don't disrespect it. Is that true? No, we've talked about that before. Did you ever hear that?

Yeah. You've mentioned that before. I don't think it's true. There's no Fazoli's still in Nashville, are there? There used to be one right outside of Rivergate. Yeah, Hermitage might still have one. Dana Buell, Buell,

B-U-L. B-U-L. B-U-L. Breakfast is correct on women's basketball. We played half court. The defense on one side and the offense on the other.

Once we got to the center court, we had to pass the ball. We could also only dribble twice and then had to pass. That's brutal. Yeah. Isn't it? I wonder if they were higher scoring games, though. I think they were.

They are now. Really? Some people emailed and said, yeah, my cousin scored 76 points in a game. Wow. Really? Because it's three on three, basically. Oh, so you would have six people out there. Yeah, three on defense, three on three, basically. Oh, so you would have six people out there. Yeah, three on defense, three on offense.

Yeah. Oh, you just pass it over. Is this the Olympics? No. This is how women's basketball was. Well, we think they should go back to it. A couple of states like Oklahoma and Iowa went until the mid-90s doing this. Oh, so the defense would get the rebound and then dribble it up to half court.

They would only get two dribbles, and then they have to pass. I didn't know that part, but that's pretty get the rebound and then dribble it up to half court. They would only get two dribbles and then they have to pass. I didn't know that part, but that's pretty fun. I'll tell you what, we could start playing like this on the road.

Oh, yeah. Like, that could be pretty fun where it's like, you know, because everybody kind of needs a break. And so, I would do it.

All we need is what? Six people. You need 12 people. 12 people. Three, three, three three three three yeah still play that way though just cut it out of two and two

yeah yeah that's fun I saw you wore a Caitlin Clark hat I did yeah I went to we did a show

at the Indiana where they play the Fever play oh sweet and so they gave us a bunch of Caitlin Clark stuff and it was yeah

I'm a big fan yeah what about the Pacers? You were like, nah, we don't want any of that. I got a Pacers jacket too, but they're in season. The Indiana Fever jacket. I think someone, I think my nephew took it. I don't know. I've lost it somehow.

Someone took it. But it was awesome. Clean. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You want to make sure you get that out? It was what? I don't know.

It was clean. What do you mean? I don't know. I just, you get that out. It was what? I don't know. It was clean. What do you mean? I don't know. I just kept saying it. Like, you're making sure that we all heard that you're saying a word you're too old to say. Clean? Yeah. I don't think you can say clean.

That jacket looks clean. No. What do you think the cutoff is for that? He was bossing, dude. The cutoff for saying clean? Yeah. I think you should have been saying it as a kid in the cutoff. You can still say all the words that you said as long as you want.

When they started with you. Yeah. I don't think clean started. Once you go. I graduated from clean. Yeah, I should be. Yeah. Yeah, you were like, I'll still say dope.

Brian still says groovy. Yeah. I can't even say cool. Too long after me. No, you were pretty cool. He just does thumbs up. Brian says E-gad. What did y'all do?

Firm handshakes. Yikes. I can't say it. That's cap. No cap. No what? I can't say no Jeepers. That's cap. I say, yeah. No cap. No cap. No, I can't tell you. No what? No what?

No cap. Can't say no cap. I just saw a joke. You know what cap means, Ryan? I don't know what it means either, but it's like. Cap means like a lie. It's false. So as soon as it says no cap, that means I'm telling the truth.

Well, you see some of these like, I saw Draymond Green or something like even use that. And even him, you're like, I think you're too old for that. Like some NBA players where you're like, you you're too old for that like some nba players where you're like you have gray hair maybe that word is like but they're like key players in the the culture that that comes out of then it's like there's still a point yeah i know but you let the there's anthony edwards might say cap yeah but yeah jerry mcgreen like you get older you're like i don't think you need to you know i don't want to see kevin i don't see like you get older, you're like, I don't think you need to, you know. I don't want to see Kevin, I don't see LeBron say cap.

You're like, all right, dude. Like you're, you know, but you don't mind seeing the young. What is it called when you like, you got to apply for like a exemption? Plosive. Yeah. If you're like a comedian or like an entertainer, you can apply for like an exemption. To say like mid or something like that. To say mid? Like that like that to say mid like that

that this podcast is mid oh like oh like you're like in golf they get an exemption like they in golf tournaments you bring so much there's like three yeah players or something you get a pass you get a pass yeah an exemption a sponsor's exemption yeah so if you're like, yeah. To say mid. Or like a comic might get. What does mid mean? It's like average. Oh. That's pretty mid. And then. How was that drink?

That coffee was mid. I think I say dope. Bananas. Bananas. I think you can't go backwards. You can go backwards. I think you can go back as far as you want.

Yeah. I don't think you can go forward. I think you can go backwards. So like, were y'all saying clean? So, like, I can't pick up any new slang from this. You could be like, that's nice. Nice, maybe. Yeah.

You know. That's sick. I can do sick. Sick, you could do. That's stupid. What about nicey with it instead of. No, I couldn't do that. Maybe.

Is that what y'all said? Oh. I don't even know what you're talking about. Nicey. Yeah yeah you can't say yeah you can go backwards yeah but it's like if somebody wears bell bottoms right now not but like but he's like are you going forward or backward because that was out but then it's coming back are you so far fashion cyclical are you ahead of it or behind it they're ahead well if they're ahead of it i guess if they if they really say fashion's what is it it just keeps coming around yeah yeah i think i'm allowed to say clean that's clean i don't know it's when did that word start uh there's no way to find that that out

that's clean dude yeah but people give me people say that about like my outfit sometimes like dude you can't wear that i'm 40 you can't wear that outfit i would say for you it's kind of uh to be honest you kind of work with it just because it's your it's your your personality is very fun and you're going to say these words and i don don't think anybody takes you seriously when you're saying it. There's irony in it. Yeah, yeah. I joke about you saying it, but I also would want you to say it because that's what's funny.

So fresh and so clean. The phrase originated in hip-hop and R&B music where artists would use it to describe their personal appearance, clothing, or lifestyle. It's clean. So, I mean, that was our time. So fresh and so clean is high school. Yeah.

Outcast. Yeah. Yeah. So fresh and so clean isn't a slang word. Okay. He's not actually saying he's clean.

Yeah. Yo, you're clean. I don't have to take a shower. I just shower. You look clean. You know, I think we'll save the topic for next week. Yeah.

But I did want to get your guys' opinion on something. So the century is almost a fourth of the way over, which is hard to believe. Yeah. ESPN just put out their 100 greatest athletes since 2000. The top nine, you could argue, are the best ever at their sport, which is pretty crazy when you think about just the short time period it is. But I wanted to show you guys

and just see what you guys thought. Obviously, Phelps, I think everybody would agree, is the greatest swimmer. So he's the number one athlete? Yeah, so far for this century. So far for this century. But I don't think I would guess Michael Phelps. I would have guessed Tiger.

Yeah. Would have been my number one. But Phelps is, I'm not upset about Phelps being number one. No, I am. You don't think either? I think Tiger. Yeah. He's just won so many. Tiger's got to my number one. But Phelps is, I'm not upset about Phelps being number one. I am. You don't think either? I think Tiger. Yeah. He's just won so many.

Tiger's got to be top three. So number one, Michael Phelps. Serena, two. All right. But everybody. It's going to be three's an F1 guy. Yeah. What are we doing?

Serena Williams, two. No. Super dominant, obviously. Obviously the greatest doing? Street Williams 2? No. Super dominant, obviously. Obviously the greatest women's player. Three, Messi. Let's get back to it. LeBron. I would have LeBron.

I'd put LeBron. I'm surprised Tiger's down this far. Some of Tiger's greatness was in the 90s. But the year 2000 was his biggest thing. It was his big. 99, really, was it? Some of Tiger's greatness was in the 90s. But the year 2000 was his biggest thing. It was his big, yeah. 99 really was it. I think 97 was his first. Yeah, he should be in. What else?

Five's Tom Brady. I think I would have him even. Yeah. If you told me he was one, I think I'd believe that. Federer is number six. Number seven, Simone Biles. Tiger Woods is not on here. Seven-time Olympic medalist.

Four Olympic gold medals. She's going to win more this year. It's a weird, yeah, it's like, I mean, yeah, it's a weird thing, though. It's like it would be like being like, well, Michael Phelps has all the gold medals. And you're like, all right. But, I mean, the NBA players, like LeBron has had to play for 20 years in the NBA season. gold medals. You're like, all right. The NBA players, LeBron has had to play for 20 years in the NBA season.

Is that worth more? Tiger comes in at eight. That's crazy. 13 major wins. Most of any player during that span. 11 major wins as the world number one golfer. Nine more than any other player all time. Just the dominant stretch he had.

I'll be honest with you. I think this feels like a list that would be picked by people that are born at this time. Yeah, I was going to say something. I go, what intern wrote this? I'm not trying to – this is why these lists get tough because – Well, you just have to accept that this is all rage bait and we're doing exactly what they wanted us to do,

which was pick apart the list. We'll finish out nine and ten, then we'd be done. Yeah, yeah. Number nine is Usain Bolt. Yeah, I would have had him even up higher. Usain Bolt. Because you've got to look at guys that changed whatever they did, which I guess Michael Phelps, I guess those people are at the top.

Every one of them actually changed everything. Kobe Bryant is at ten. Yeah. I remember the last Olympics, you're like, those people are at the top. Every one of them actually changed everything. Kobe Bryant is at 10. I remember the last Olympics, you're like, there's just not any big names, Americans, like there was before.

Like, he was saying Bolt. Yeah, I remember that. What is, like, scroll down. When do you get to the, let's find the first person we don't know.

Djokovic comes in 11, 12 is Nadal, 13 is Ronaldo, Steph Curry, 14, Katie Ledecky. She's great. You can move her up to one eventually.

Tim Duncan, 16, Shaquille O'Neal, Patrick Mahomes. He'll be in the top five all over. Lewis Hamilton, we all knew Lewis Hamilton. At 19? Just because, yeah. I mean, he's a seven-time Formula One champion. Yeah, but that has nothing to do. It's whatever your team, your car. No, they have to do that.

They did a whole thing because they don't have air conditioning. And people want air conditioning. Athlete? Yeah, because you have to sit out. It's hot. You're telling me this guy is better than Skrull,

the next person? Well, his... No way. No way, dude. I guess we're doing what they want. Don't you own a NASCAR team? Yeah. And this guy eats ham sandwiches

and Mountain Dew. Yeah. He's not. He's very talented. Extremely talented. On the level, like if he gets sick, are you like, then I could just kill him? Maybe somebody could. No, you.

Could you do it? No, I couldn't do it. Just scroll to where you think we don't see the name. We don't have to assume. Aaron Donald. What about, yeah, there's 21. Diana Taurasi. How many are we getting, though?

Sidney Crosby. Kevin. We'll go pretty far before we do that. Kevin Garnett. Yeah, yeah, there's 21. Diana Taurasi. I mean, you're already getting though. Sidney Crosby. Kevin. We'll go pretty far before we move on. Kevin Garnett. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway. Albert Pujols. We probably know all of them.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Albert Pujols. I texted him. He didn't text me back. Oh, really? Yeah. When did you text him?

Oh, I don't know about that person. He's won 44. No. He's won 44. He's won 44. He's won 44. He's won 44. He's won 44.

All right. We're done. The skiing. Three-time Olympic medalist in skiing. Sheriffin? I've never heard of this person. How do you know Albert Pearls? Well, he came to one of my shows.

Oh, yeah. Did he really? Yeah. And he's like, what's up, dude? And then we got a photo. And he's like, here's my number if you ever need anything. And then I think he like got. I guess you need something.

Kid right there. I think he's supposed to not text him. Just to wait for a while. No, you're supposed to never text them. Just to wait for a while. No, you're supposed to never text them. Oh. That's the deal. If you ever need anything, let me know. And the thing is, I will never need anything.

Well, it's like, you know, if you meet somebody that's like your buddy around town, you're like, let's get coffee. You're not supposed to do that. Coffee could be different. Let's go grab lunch sometime. Yeah, you're supposed to not do that. I love to pick your brain sometimes. Like when somebody says.

I've said that to someone. Have you? Yeah. Seinfeld? No. You said it to Seinfeld. I love to split a Pop-Tart and pick your brain. I would love to talk to you.

I did not say it to Seinfeld. I did say it to Adam Sandler. He said it. Yeah. I was like I'd love to talk to you and he turned it on to Adrian but he did respond

and say just talk to this guy Adrian worked with him and he responded he goes I'm really busy I'm too busy right now he's like

but yeah we're going to catch up at some point yeah but he was yeah he was

you texted him on screen I don't know his phone number I got his email yeah but so we he emailed emailed me

he started emailed me yeah but like we've emailed a couple times but I didn't want to bother I'm just like

and it you know what it is right when I said it and I sent it even thinking but now you're like I don't need to talk to him about like

yeah you know I shouldn't have done it you would have to think about like what do I want to talk to him about yeah I guess I just want to i don't want advice it's like you just want to like what's up brother yeah yeah what up go jackets sandman go jackets out here killing it uh i think i would i would probably just ask him a lot about his

career i heard you hosted it see say heard you hosted You say, heard you hosted SNL. What's it like? I got to do it next month or something like that. Well, I think what you do is you go ask them a lot about their career. You don't tell them

anything about yours because they don't, what does it matter? Unless they ask, unless they're like, so what are you trying to do? But you kind of go like, hey,

how did things go with you when you started Happy Madison or you started this or you started that? And you would just kind of ask like hey like how how did things go with you when you started happy madison or you started this you started that like well and you just you know kind of ask them their career not that i think a lot of people wouldn't mind talking about but yes i think i think i i might have said pick your brain i don't love that i don't love that but you started with that phrase so you can keep it forever he said i'd love to break bread with you sometime, brother. That's the worst. See you, Donnie.

You know what movie I watched or I started last night? Ninja Assassin. I was going to say, whatever it is, he got 22% on Rotten Tomatoes. Oh, I don't know if it got 20. I don't know if Rotten Tomatoes picked it up. Nate wants to know what the movie's about just from the title. 2010. I know.

Oh, 26. It's actually not that bad. Audience is 50%. 54%. 54% audience. So I did not, I should have watched it. I just felt, the first scene I was like, what is this? It's a 15-year-old movie.

Pretty brutal, like a lot of blood. How did you come across it? It was just on, like, you know, I still like to go see some of the movie channels on DirecTV. On TV? I do that. Because I just want to see what's there. Wow. Because I'll be forced to watch something instead of taking forever.

Look at this review. Not the best movie in the world, but certainly a good time. That's what I bet it is. Yeah. It's like, yeah, it's like a crazy. Now, Will Lawrence from Empire Magazine says, decent ingredients, but as a whole, lacking in choreographic flair and plot substance. Yeah, so that's a person that you're like, well, what are you? That's a guy. Top, so that's a person that you're like, well, what are you... You know, that's a guy...

Top critic. That's me. Yeah, but that's someone that's like saying that about Burger King. And you're like, yeah, but you're a Burger King. And you go, why would you even... Why would you review... A garish and poorly filmed chopsock-y frolic.

Did you write this, Weber? No. That's David Jenkins with Time Out Magazine. A lot of words. Ninja Assassin isn't a bad movie. It's just not very involving. The viewer watches from a safe distance. As limbs are lopped off, blood erupts from volcanic blasts,

but the ninja rules remain ambiguous. But see, the first thing was a lot of big hands cut off, head cut off, blood. And so it was a little much for me, but I love the idea. But you kept going. Of a ninja who was actually an assassin. Well, if you go in and you – I mean, if you pitch that to a network, if you go, I want to make a movie called Ninja Assassin. What's it about? Well, and you go, then it's not right movie called Ninja Assassin. What's it about?

And you go, then it's not right for you. That's what I would tell them. If they go, what's it about? You go, then you don't get it. I'll pass on you. I'll pass on you because you don't get it. We don't have to do all this. I'd love to break some bread with you.

Talk about Ninja Assassin. Yo, Adam Sandler, I got this movie idea called Ninja Assassin 2. I really believe in this project. Ninja Assassins 2. Yeah. I want to buy the rights to the Ninja Assassin franchise. He goes, I got a heartfelt movie. It's donkeys in a tree.

Donkeys in a tree. It's not for you. It's about what I say it's about. It's these family donkeys that live in a tree. This is us, but for the Olympics opening ceremony. That's right. You're like, you don't get it. Yeah.

Who? If we're the guys that are pitching the Olympics opening ceremony, they did the same thing as we're doing right here. Yeah. But they didn't pitch ninja. I'll tell you what, everybody wanted to see ninja assassin, and they didn't pitch ninja i'll tell you what everybody wanted to see ninja assassin and they didn't pitch ninja assassin they pitched the olympics did something that's like you know god it's you know yeah you know like some movie you never heard of that's won 12 oscars and then

he's got a lot of awards but the country's like can we watch ninja assassin how much look it made some money i think this is a different movie oh there's maybe there's a better one read this read this is that same one ninja sass read the title is that what you watch nate a young ninja turns his back on the orphanage that raised him leading to a confrontation with a fellow ninja from the clan is that that's kind of every i mean that's no was that the movie you watch that sounds like they made that up in the room they go but does that happen in the movie you watched i just saw the beginning so the beginning was uh you said you watched half of it i don't know if i i don't think i said that but i i watched i watched the beginning i watched the beginning and then i didn't it was like yeah this is the same movie yeah i kind of wanted to finish it but it was like

it was it was a movie that i wanted to be able to fast forward you know you just give up on it with the olympic ceremonies budget they could have made this movie five times yeah yeah so i think i didn't want to watch it because i couldn't fast for like i'm getting a little bit some of these movies i'm like i want to see them but i want to be able i want to be able to fast forward and kind of get through it like get through the parts because they started with the slow part like the first part's like crazy and they start a slow part and that's a movie that you're like you you're not allowed slow parts like ninja's ass and you're like we're rolling dude it's it stays on the ninja the whole time

yeah and that's the thing and he's a sass and he's assassinated. I think the one thing you can't forward, though, fast forward, is movies that you haven't seen. I mean, look, I don't think I'm going to miss. I mean, you already know what this is about. Like, if you fast forwarded the football game, you're like, oh, it's the fourth quarter. It's 14-10. Yeah.

You can't fast forward a movie. John, you've never seen this movie. Tell me what you think it's about. A ninja. And then he goes around killing people. He's an assassin. Yeah, but why see an assassin? Then you've missed nothing.

You've missed, he's an assassin because he's a ninja. This is what, in the pitch room, that's what he is. That's why I didn't pick it up. This is where the people would be frustrated. Well, why is he an assassin? Because he's a ninja. And that's what they do. He got kicked out of his.

Why is he a ninja? Because he's an assassin. Because he's an assassin. Because he loves assassin. We need to see the prequel. They go, I don't know. He loves assassin. They go, what about. Nating people.

He goes, I'll do. I'll do ninja. We're going to do like Batman. We're going to do ninja assassin. Then I'll do ninja. And then I'll do assassin. And then I'll do Assassin. And then I'll do when he was a little boy.

For the diehard. The origin story. The origin story. You think that guy gets recognized whenever he goes outside? Currently? By Nate.

They were like, Nate Wood recognized. Dude, are you a Ninja Assassin? I'm sorry. I don't mean to, I don't want to draw attention to you, but. Overly serious and incomprehensibly edited.

Jeez. These reviews are brutal. That's the write-up for Nate Land. But that, see, that's, yeah, that's the, yeah, that is, that is true, though. When you watched it, it felt like you're like, you're almost, it got, it took itself too serious, just the little bit I saw. Where you were like, the beginning did not. The beginning was like, you know, there's this ninja and he's killing everybody in this room.

And then this, and this one guy goes, I knew you existed. And this ninja comes out of nowhere and he goes, and then he cut his head off. And then it felt like it started getting like, then we were in an office setting and you're like, I don't want to be in an office setting and ninja assassin. Fast forward back to to be an office setting and ninja assassin fast forward back to look at the people yeah yeah well then i was already you know and if i could have fast forward i would kind of fast forward to your pockets sometimes i'll fast forward and you're right and then maybe you get too far and you go like wait how is he how did he become a ninja here's what we need to do scroll back up right

there to the director anything we ever try to get greenlit from now on, you tell your agent, I request a meeting with, go to the director. Yeah, yeah. I need. James McTeague. And anything you pitch to him, he goes, I don't think so. And then he goes, you greenlit Ninja Assassin. And then he goes, okay, fine, let's do it.

Yeah, because it's a guy that likes a hook. So it's. He knew. This is Ninja Assassin. It's the same thing that Greg Giraldo said. I might have told this on here before. He directed V for Vendetta. That was a huge show. And The Matrix.

He went from V for Vendetta to Ninja Assassin. And then what did he do after? Any other crazy big? The Raven. The new Matrix, yeah. The new Matrix? Star Wars. Yeah. what do you do after any other like crazy, the Raven, the new matrix, the new matrix, Star Wars. Yeah.

Wait, but I first assistant director. Yeah. Oh yeah. But what, the way I would look at it for these dudes is I think a lot of directors, you got to make one crazy movie. And so V for Vendetta, it was great.

And then you get this other one, Ninja Assassin you're like alright and it's like they just it doesn't even matter if it's bad because you're just

never going to hear about it you can't make the money yeah you can't buy a thousand yeah yeah so they're just like yeah alright I watched have you guys seen

The Color of Money I don't know no no isn't going to be easy and watching Ninja Assassin you're asking the wrong room.

It's a great movie. Tom Cruise, Paul Newman. Oh, I know what it is. About racing? No, it's about pool. Oh, yeah. Pool hustlers. I might watch that.

That would be very fun to watch. Are you about to ruin it? Well, I'm not going to talk about really a major plot point. It's a great movie. I love it. But there's so many scenes. That's the guy from, what's it called?

Top Gun? No. I'm going to get another Tom Cruise. It's the guy from, that's the guy. So it's a mission, a possible mission. It's from,
