Today's episode of the Nate Land podcast is brought to you by AG1, Helix, DraftKings, and Chime. Hello folks and hey bear, welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. I'm Nate Bargetti, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slate. Alright, boom guys. We missed you. Boom, I'm pumped to be here. Yeah. Fresh back from Myrtle Beach.

I got a new Western Sizzlin' shirt from a former Miss Myrtle Beach. Wow. Miss Myrtle Beach is married to a guy that owns a lot of Western Sizzlins. Yeah, makes sense. What a power couple in that town. And they found out I did a Western Sizzlin' joke, and they brought me a shirt. And so I wore it on here. What year was she Miss Myrtle Beach?

I don't know. She's still very attractive. I would vote for her today. Okay. Yeah. Hold on. Let me. I just messed with my volume.

But I messed with my volume. No, I think we're good now. Dusty came in hot. I'm pumped to be here, guys. Yeah, yeah. No, it wasn't in a bad way. I think that we had. Trying to bring some energy.

We had another long-haired person in that seat. Yeah. So I felt like I turned it up. Because if we were pre-recording this, we had Leanne, now we have Dusty. And so I was just readjusting. What a sweet voice Leanne has. Yeah. You know?

That is true. It's a contrast. Yeah. Yeah. So you got a great voice too yeah i mean we're all we all have good voices all very smooth we're a smooth podcast yeah leanne said if you and her were the same age y'all would probably smoke cigarettes together for sure yeah i'd smoke cigarettes with her right now yeah even a cigarette in 10 years that's all it takes.

Back at it. Myrtle Beach, that's like a big, yeah, it's fun. It's fun. Is that y'all's California, you think? Trailer Park, California? I think so. Yeah. Well, I don't know.

When you're in Alabama, Panama City Beach is really the spot. Is Myrtle Beach like the Hamptons? Yeah, I think so. It's northern. It's more like a northern place. It's where the money in the trailer parks would go. Exactly. That's maybe even a flight.

You're not driving. It's a flight. I don't know. My uncle and his family, they still live in a trailer. And their family vacation every year is ride their motorcycles to Myrtle Beach. All right. That's romantic. It is.

Yeah, but that's motorcycle living. Yeah. They like driving. It ain't even about Myrtle Beach for them. It's about the motorcycle ride. It's that and not talking to your wife. That's the key to motorcycles is you just go, I think we've talked how long. That's true.

Is she in a sidecar? They still use those? I think we've talked how long, you know. That's true. Is she in a sidecar? They still use those? I don't know. I think some do. I haven't seen those. She's on the back probably. Does she ride too? I think they both rode.

Yeah, they drive themselves. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's nice. You probably just, I get it, man. I would, I don't know how to, like motorcycles, I don't know how to, you know, I've never really ridden one, but I get the idea of one.

I always thought, you know, those three wheel ones, people like make fun of, but I would, you know, it's like, well,

I would feel safest in a three wheeled one. And I think I would like the idea of you're kind of out and you're just feeling that. I think I would like it. The wind in your hair. Yeah. Like a Harley Davidson.. And I think I would like the idea of you're kind of out and you're just feeling that. I think I would like it. The wind in your hair. Yeah, like a Harley Davidson.

I think, you know, it's like I get the idea of it. You know, I was in Charlotte on Saturday, and they have these. I don't know what these things are. They're like, it's almost like one wheel in the back and two in the front, and they're all lit up. Oh, yeah. And, I mean, I guess you can rent them. Mike James has one but people were does he uh-huh people were just up and down the the strip i get it was a soccer game it let out after the show we're hanging out in the park and uh and these

things are just up and down the street blasting blasting the music. Blasting the music. Yeah. Grown people. We were doing that in high school. These were grown men. I'm having Mike James walking with me tomorrow. Is he really? Yeah, he was just out with us. And he- He's doing what with you? Walking.

Eric walks me like a dog. And it is pretty funny because Eric said his wife goes, are you going to go walk your Nate? And it's true. You mean he just says, let's go walk. Yeah, he doesn't have a leash. I'm allowed to roam. Yeah.

But it's because I'm. Sniff around a bit. Yeah. So we walk five miles. Mike James kind of lives near us. So he's like he wants to walk too. He's like come on over

dude. Jump on in. If anybody wants to come walk you're welcome to come walk. 9 a.m. Walk five miles. Come on.

You're done by lunch. It takes about an hour or 40 minutes. Yeah. So even with eric not there you'll do 9 a.m uh no eric will be there oh okay yeah i uh i've lost hearing yes right here me too me too that's fun it's just me i was adjusting the cord yes and it wasn't oh oh there it is now it's back all right yeah yeah either that or i lost hearing. Well, that's today's topic.

Oh, yeah. Perfect timing. Yeah. So. Well, I was in, I had the Funny Bone in St. Louis. Sold out every show. Standing ovation every show. That's awesome.

Typical stuff, man. Yeah, typical stuff. Just routine weekend. I believe it. Oh, I do want to mention a couple weeks ago, we were joking about when I spend the night with my friends, I would get up in the morning with their parents. I said I'd get up and watch CBS Sunday Morning with them. And Connor Knighton is a correspondent on CBS Sunday Morning. He's a fan of this podcast.

Oh, wow. I met him at one of my Tacoma shows, and he sent me a CBS Sunday morning coffee mug. That's awesome. How about that? I like CBS, too. Well, it's too late. Too late, Dusty.

Did he know what a fan you are of his? CBS Sunday morning? Yeah. Yeah, we've corresponded a little bit. I have his poster on my wall. Yeah, so that's pretty cool. Thank you, Connor. Yeah, that's awesome.

So this was a couple weeks ago. But yeah, I did Raleigh, North Carolina. I did the May Mandy Concert Hall. Really great. A lot of friends came out.

Old Hyman's friends came out. Old high school friends came out. And then I went to Charlotte, North Carolina to the Knight Theater. Same thing. Old friends from Charlotte, old high school friends friends old hyman's friends amazing what's hyman uh that's a seafood restaurant that i worked at in charleston yeah i was a i you know it's a restaurant that i worked at and it's a a large uh restaurant a lot of turnover i used to say that former Hyman's employees are the fastest growing population in Charleston because we're in and out.

And then I did Myrtle Beach. My friend Greg Rolls, he used to be the main guy at the Alabama Theater in Myrtle Beach. He went off and created his own theater called the Greg Rolls Legacy Theater where they do six nights of music. And then I think I'm the first comic to do the theater. And it was a hot show.

Sold a lot of tickets. I was competing with Jeff Allen and Brian Regan last night at Myrtle Beach. Oh, wow. And still did well. That's a great weekend. That's like a Christmas. Yeah. Dusty, Jeff Allen, Brian Regan, Myrtle Beach.

I think I was booked first. I would say. I don't know why those guys had to come in and try to compete with me on the clean comedy thing. Yeah. I think I was not clean enough for a couple old ladies. They did leave my show. I got some serial killer jokes. It's all clean.

It's silly stuff. It's all good fun. Yeah. stuff. It's all in good fun. Yeah. Yeah. They didn't care. You watched them get up? Nah, somebody told me they left. Yeah.

Who told you that? They didn't need to tell you that. I don't mind it. I talk about it. Every time someone leaves the show to go get a drink, I think I make reference to it. That's fun. That's fun for your people.

Yeah. It's fun for me. It's fun for me. It's fun for them. Yeah. Come fun for me. It's fun for them. Come to a Dusty show. And don't move. We all have a good time. Everybody has fun.

When I was in Atlanta, Nancy Johnson, a big fan of all of us, she sent us all little gift bags and some t-shirts in there. I'm wearing mine, which I totally agree with. If you can't see this, it says, with a body like this, who needs hair? Yeah. Nancy's great.

I totally agree. Nancy's great. Thank you. Nancy sent me a shirt, too, and I appreciate it. I want to say, I sent something to Brian. I think I offended him. I saw a thing on Instagram where they were advertising how a way, like a home remedy to regrow hair.

And I sent it to Brian, and I was like, I want you to try this. And he's like, I'm comfortable with myself. And I'm like, I know you are. It's not about you being comfortable. I want to see if it works. It's basically like castor oil, coconut oil, and rosemary. And you make a mixture, rub it in your hair every night or as long as you can and then see what happens oh how many balding people are in your life i'm always dusty science experiment yeah that's what i was wondering is there somebody else and not even that i mean for balding he would i think if you went to balding convention they would be you would be like yeah you would be like the hot hot guy because you have a ton of it left.

Well, that's what I'm saying is you are comfortable with it, so I don't mind reaching out to you about this. If some of my other friends that may be balding, I reach out and I go, hey, I want you to try this. They go, you think I'm losing my hair, man? Yeah. Or something, you know what I mean? Yeah, but it's always during COVID when I got vaccinated, Dust texting me hey put a magnet on your arm because according to this tiktok video

a magnet will stick to your and i do it because he'll just keep pestering me the magnet was it was a bad magnet that you used yeah he still didn't even believe me you gotta get a strong magnet i'm like it didn't work you should have drove over and grabbed a magnet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I just, you know, I run across things and I know you'll be cool with it. So I messaged you about it.

Yeah. I asked Aaron a few minutes ago. I said, who had more hair, me or George Costanza on Seinfeld? Definitely you. In the early days, though, it's kind of neck and neck. That's what I said. No. We looked at some pictures. I look at old George Costanza. I feel like are you losing your hair kind early days, though, it's kind of neck and neck. That's what I said, but we look at some pictures. I look at

old George. I feel like are you losing your hair kind of late, though? Yeah, I mean, some people. I mean, since this podcast started, you probably lost a lot. Yeah. Go look at just old pictures of Brian. Yeah, that's just what we call like a five head. Yeah.

Yeah, that's not bad. Yeah. You have more hair than this, too. That's pretty close right there. But also, he's my age in these pictures. Yeah. Yeah, you're late. That's what I mean.

I think you're kind of late. It's like... And gradual. Yeah. I mean, this has been going on for a while. See if you can pull up a first video of this podcast. Yeah. And see what Brian looked like.

The Dumb Dusty guy will love this video. Yeah. Play a little bit of it for that guy. Video restricted. Unveilable. Awesome. Huh. Why is that?

I don't know. Let's look at episode 18. So this is a few weeks after we started. Oh, well, he was already done. Hold on. Look at this. Let's look at Nate's gray. Oh, this is Bigfoot.

This is a good, fun episode. Look at that. You're going to have more hair now, Brian. I look terrible in this. Same beliefs, but... Brian, I think you have more hair now. Yeah, I know.

Maybe the same. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty gradual. He didn't talk much in this episode, huh? He was still finding his footing. He don't talk much in this episode, huh? He was still finding his footing. He don't got a lot on the Bigfoot topic. Yeah. I think Nate told me to keep my mouth shut.

Look at Nate. It's more fun with, yeah, he's. I was talking. That was a good time. Coco the monkey. That used to be a good time. George is really going at it. Yeah. Coco the monkey. That used to be a good time. George is really going out. Yeah.

Coco the monkey. Yeah. As I talking, you know, this is some civilian station talk. Yeah. This is the civilian station episode. Yeah.

This is the one that they think broke us. Broke us apart while we added Dusty. Yeah. Dusty, why don't you tell us about AG1? All right. You know, I love't you tell us about AG1? All right. You know, I love AG1. I do.

I know. Sometimes it seems sarcastic when I say it, but I do love it. It's important to me that the supplements I take are of the highest quality, and that's why for the past two years I've been drinking AG1. Unlike many supplement brands, AG1 is researched and developed by an in-house team of scientists, doctors, and nutritionists with decades of experience in their respective fields. So many people have asked me if AG1 is really the real deal, and trust me, there's a reason why I've been drinking it for so long. Quality for AG1 isn't just a buzzword, it's a commitment

backed by expert-led scientific research, high-quality ingredients, industry-leading manufacturing, and rigorous testing. At each step of the process, AG1 goes above and beyond industry standards. I know I can trust what's in every scoop of AG1 because AG1 is NSF certified for sport, one of the most rigorous, independent quality and safety certification programs in the supplement industry. Taking care of my health shouldn't be complicated and AG1 simplifies this by making it so there aren't a million different pills and capsules to keep track of. Just one scoop of AG1 mixed in water every day. AG1's ingredients are heavily researched for efficacy

and quality, and I love that every scoop also includes prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes for gut support.

They took his last name yeah uh nick bess great podcast guys there are actually no spicy taste buds in your mouth spicy foods have a unique flavor but the heat we feel is actually pain receptors not taste buds so why would so then you would be you be almost stupid that we're eating spicy food. Right. It's dumb. Now, Dusty, you host a show that involves eating spicy food. Do you know much about the science of what it is?

Well, you know I'm a real science guy. But I don't know. I mean, I don't know. It's like maybe there's no spicy taste, bud, but in those spicy foods, there is flavors that are good. So you still taste flavors. And there might be a little heat to it. I like spicy. I think jalapeno, cayenne pepper, I think that has flavor.

Maybe even a habanero. Yeah, habanero. Oh, that hot. But when you get into these reaper peppers or whatever it is. Yeah, it's just chemicals, basically. It's like, what is this? Why are we trying to do this to ourselves? All right, that's the host of Dusty.

Yeah, all I do is eat it. What's the name of his show? It's called Nashville Hot. I was trying to see if Aaron could do it. I couldn't remember. Yeah, I watched him. That's why Nashville Hot. I was trying to see if Aaron could do it. I couldn't remember. Yeah, I watched him. That's why I wanted it. I'm sorry.

I saw Aaron go, Dusty's... Dusty's show. Dusty's eating chicken with friends. The last one we did, Dusty's girl wife. Wife is here tonight. When you don't know anything. Your friend. Your friend, yeah. Your friend. Your friend.

Yeah. Old buddy. The person that's with you. But we did Bolton's Hot Chicken. I don't know if you've ever been there. Yeah.

I used to live really close to it. Oh, yeah. But we did, you know, we went all the way up hottest in Bolton's and it is,

it's very good, but it'll light you up. Was mine still the least hot? Yeah, I think Hattie B's is the least hot. Yeah. It's very good. They're all good, but it'll light you up. Was mine still the least hot? Yeah, I think Hattie B's is the least hot. Yeah. It's very good. They're all good, but I do think the Hattie B's hottest is the least hot.

I've not done Prince's yet, but I did, what was the one in the- We did Party Fowl, which went bankrupt right after our episode. Party Fowl was really good until you got to the spiciest one and it was just like, it was just ridiculous. The poultry geist, it was called. It's like a gimmick of heat. You do it at the restaurant? Yeah.

Yeah. It's like a gimmick of heat where it's like, nobody's eating that. It's a prank. Maybe someone eats it, someone, you know,

for fun, but most people don't. When did these come out? Just randomly. Like, I know I've seen them. Oh, yeah. Just randomly. Whenever I can do it. That's these come out? Just randomly. I know I've seen them. Oh, yeah. Just randomly. Whenever I can do it.

That's how you build a fan base. Yeah. I'm a random content guy. Yeah. But it's not even on your channel. No. Yeah. Oh.

It's for somebody else. Yeah, and they film it and I just come do it. Oh, okay. Okay. I just torture myself and interview people and we might do a note. Maybe we do a note Oh, okay. Okay. I just torture myself and interview people.

We might do a no. Maybe we do a no headphones. We do a no headphones episode. Is that better than just one ear? Yeah. You can leave it in one ear if you want. If it's going to go in and out, then it's just going to be in and out. With headphones off?

Feels good. It feels good. My ears do get warm. Yours do? Yeah. It's tough to wear a hat and headphones. Yeah. And a hoodie. And just everything else I got going on.

We're going to go hat podcast. Yeah. Just heavy ears. Heavy ears that wears the crown. Yeah. I feel like, yeah. Heavy ears. You don't think your ears are pretty heavy?

I mean. You think they weigh more than our ears? You think we cut off our ears off and measured them? I think they're yeah. Heavy ears. You don't think your ears are pretty heavy? I mean. You think they weigh more than our ears? You think we cut off our ears off and measured them? I think they're all about the same. You think all ears weigh the same? Yeah, it's just cartilage. That is it, right? But I mean, you don't think.

I don't have fat ears. Everything else around me. It goes. I don't know. I think your ears are bigger than, are they bigger than mine? I think they're bigger than yours. Yeah, I mean, yours're bigger than yours. Yeah. I mean, yours haven't seen daylight.

Yeah. Yeah. I got, I got, my ears kind of stick out, but I don't think they're too big. Okay. Now, have you ever heard ears keep growing your entire life? I have heard that. Is that true? I learned from today's episode.

That's not true. I've heard ears and noses. Oh, it's not true? Not from what I read. Oh. Okay. Now they can start drooping. Can't.

Yeah. Oh, wow. Lose some of his elasticity. okay now they can start grouping can't yeah oh wow lose some of his elasticity something else to be self-conscious about drink some collagen uh your weak ears

mm-hmm Nancy Bergbauer oh that's right Bergebauer that's probably how you would say it Aaron Berg

Nancy Bergbauer how sad that I taught school for 35 years Birdbower. That's probably how you would say it, Aaron. Berg. Nancy Birdbower. How sad that I taught school for 35 years in elementary and always taught the map of the tongue. What is this world coming to? I agree. Well, you got to do some research, Nancy. They didn't have research back then.

I think you teach what you know, and then, you know, what we know changes. Yeah. It's not her fault. Nancy wasn't doing the research about the tongue, you know, and then what we know changes. Yeah. It's not her fault. Nancy wasn't doing the research about the tongue. She's just reporting what she's been told. Yeah, I think that's what a lot of people do. And that's why I'm here to try to go, hey, got to look into some other stuff sometimes. Don't just read the textbook.

Just because it's in there doesn't mean it's true. Just look at the food pyramid and look at the tongue map we've been believing that that was a thing all along somebody like me would have come along and they would have said you know the tongue map is not real and you guys would have been like oh that's ridiculous and then look what happened it's true they would go why don't you think it's real and you would go i just caught a vibe yeah and then they go well it's not really good but the vibe would be just caught a vibe. Yeah. And then they go, well, it's not really good. But the vibe would be right.

Why would you believe them now when they correct it? They're trying to throw you off. Well, I'm just saying. I don't think you're saying you don't believe. You're saying, I think y'all should look more into that.

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, just, you know, don't trust us. I don't think you should check it off and go like, we're done with that.

Yeah. He goes, still keep. Yeah, the people right there. If there was tongue like, we're done with that. Yeah. He goes, still keep. Yeah, the people right there. There was tongue map conspiracyists. That's pretty crazy. Yeah. Those guys are good. Yeah.

To be in it that much. Debbie J. Aaron did not even try and mix up the order of the Pepsi drinks. He said it just like he was intentionally telling him the order you know what as soon as i said it i did realize that and then i thought well you're gonna assume that i scrambled it up so it's almost the best that's right way to disguise it is just to say it as oh yeah 4d chess yeah yes well the the problem of that the big two liters should not have been there because that's going to be no different than the smaller bottle.

Well, and it's just like, no one's drinking two liters. You think you'd be critiquing it if you got them all right? No. I don't think it was done correctly. Yeah, but if you got them all right, you wouldn't be like, guys, this was a mistake. Should have poured some of the two liter into a solo cup. Yeah. Yeah.

Was the setup a mistake, or did you just fail at it? No, the setup... I think it's a little bit of both. No, no, no, no, no, no. The setup was a mistake. Okay. We didn't even do the thing that was being done. Right?

We added something. So there's a TikTok video of doing it, apparently, and we just said, let's kind of do that. So that I don't understand. That doesn't make sense to me. If I was putting together a project and I go, oh, wow, that's a fun thing to cry to do. You know what?

I'll put my twist on it, though, and do it different. What is the TikTok video? I don't even know. I saw one where a girl was drinking a bunch of different diet Cokes from fountain drinks of a lot of restaurants, where she was like, this one's Chick-fil-a this one's yeah mcdonald's this one's that's what i would like she nailed it that i would yeah okay and that's that's a sad commentary i think you got to be blind it was like i would need to be blindfolded and and didn't do it too i don't think I had a fair shot. The two liter diet, where'd you even get this?

Abby said that's what the challenge was. A two liter diet Pepsi? I guessed. No, I think something was added. I think they should have did a 16 and a 20 ounce. Yeah. Really mix it up. Yeah.

See what you really mean. Do a one liter in there too. Might as well. Yeah. Colleen Butcher. With regards to narwhals, my mother had the opposite problem. In a Dr. Doolittle book,

the author referenced a two-headed creature called a push-me-pull-you. She truly thought that animal existed until she was almost 40 years old when at a party, the topic somehow came up

in a conversation. Wow. Oh. Push-me-p pull you is yeah a llama split in half wow well yeah or the two heads like cat and dog was there pictures in this dr do little book i gotta i got questions for colleen's mom she said i didn't put that part in she said they asked her why didn't you ever notice that you've never seen one in a zoo? She said,

I thought they were just sleeping in the back like a lot of animals are. Gosh. Colleen's such a, her mom's such a sweet lady. I agree. Yeah. I like her.

You think Colleen's related to Nicole? Yeah, I was wondering that too. Nicole's butcher. Nicole's butcher. Yeah. Could be. I don't know.

Butcher family. Butcher family. Yeah. Could be. I don't know. The Butcher Family. The Butcher Family. Yeah. I think they should talk. Marissa Zollers. Zollers. I bet it's like dollars, but Zollers. Yeah.

Marissa Zollers. On the subject of narwhals, my husband is an electrician and did some work in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. My husband is an electrician and did some work in the Rocky Mountain Arsenal. He discovered, as he was working in one of the buildings, that they store confiscated. Confiscated. Confiscated.

They store confiscated and contraband taxidermy there. He saw a preserved narwhal specimen among lions, crocodile heads, and other things. So he saw a preserved one. They could have made that one. Yeah, because I've seen like a jackalope, you know, like a rabbit with antlers. I've seen a taxidermy of that. Yeah, that's true. So this proves nothing.

Yeah. But to be honest with you, if he's an electrician, he might think like you, Dusty. That's true. I feel like an electrician's one that's – Yeah. They – electricians, I bet they don't believe a lot. Yeah. He's staying current.

Yeah, I think so. That was good. Oh, yeah, that was good. It took me a second, but that was – Yeah. Wow. Stuff like that. Is that what they got at Myrtle Beach?

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's hot at Myrtle Beach. 120 minutes of that. That's right. Can you take it to Raleigh or it doesn't travel well? Well, I started in Raleigh, so I built up.

Yeah. Jimmy Morrison. Jimmy Morrison. Isn't that someone famous? Yeah, from the Doors. Oh, yeah. Jim Morrison. Still alive.

He goes by Jimmy now. McDonald's Fountain Coke Diet Coke is the best because it has ice in the cup, so it will always be colder and more refreshing than a can or bottle. And, number two, the diameter of the McDonald's straw is wider than others, so it lets you take a big gulp with very little effort. That way you finish it faster and want to buy another one. You don't have to buy another one if you stay in there. Yeah, it kind of trashes the whole thought.

Maybe buy another one. Like, it's, yeah, free refills. Come on, Jimmy. It's saying it has ice in the cup, so it will always be colder. Don't they all have ice in the cup? Yeah, what is this? I think he's just saying, yeah, it's good. Jimmy, you need to rethink this argument.

I think neither point makes any sense. I think he's just trying to say. The straw is bigger. I guess they do all have ice, don't they? So we have some, I'm drinking Starbucks. I like the Starbucks straw. Yeah. But then I've had to, we have some McDonald's straws. We all have ice, don't they? So we have, you know, I'm drinking Starbucks. I like the Starbucks straw. Yeah. But then I've had to, we have some McDonald's straws,

and I don't like drinking out of a Starbucks cup with a McDonald's straw because I look at it and I just go, I don't like this at all. And I have a real hard time with it. Yeah. And I won't do it. I can see that. Yeah. I can do maybe.

It happens more often often you think it would for me yeah oh yeah i mean it's been yeah for the for these past couple weeks i've been dealing with it quite a bit and uh they're i like i can do uh you know with the straw you buy that's like its own little thing yeah yeah i i didn't like that but i got over that i was like i can do that but when it's a mcdonald's straw i just think this straw is not supposed to be in coffee it has like white and yellow and red yeah yeah i just don't i'm like i don't like this yeah starbucks has a classic color about it you know the dark green and the white it looks good.

McDonald's straws don't fit a classic. They don't fit. You ever use a McFlurry spoon in a Chipotle bowl? I couldn't. I wouldn't be able to do it. What do you mean? I couldn't do it. I could not do it. I couldn't have it mixed.

I could be coming worse. This weekend, I was trying to carry some of my dirty clothes home, and I was like, I need another bag. And Tony, our promoter, he goes, he had a Buffalo Wild Wings bag because they ordered lunch. I couldn't put my clothes in there. I don't know. You're getting OCD issues.

Huh? Oh, yeah. Better help. Better help. Yeah. I was like, he goes, can you put it in this? And I was like. Do you think there's like a barbecue sauce or something inside of it?

No, there's nothing. It was just like the principle of it. It's the idea that that bag is not meant for clothes. It's just like the principle of it. It's the idea that that bag is not meant for clothes. And so I couldn't – I could have done like a wool bag or whatever, like what's the bag that you're supposed to use for recycling? Yeah.

Some of those I could – Tote bag or something. Tote bag or something. I could do that all day long. But it had Buffalo Wild Wings logos on it. It was like, well, this does not belong in that bag. Yeah, it seems weird. People are like, you got some wings in there? And you're like, no, I got underwear.

Yeah. They did a whole, we ended up finding a whole foods bag, a brown whole foods bag. But then I did not carry it because I was, I wouldn't have liked that either. But it kind of got out of my hands. And so i was like you can do whatever you want to do but i just need to move on yeah yeah it's fun man the road's a

good time to me uh dylan burt that's a good name yeah aaron is completely wrong about mcdonald's having an exclusive deal with coca-cola for having metal containers for their fountain drinks uh aaron's an idiot golly i worked for coca-cola for eight years and we sold the metal containers to several customers for their fountain drinks be better i think first of all dylan relax he come at you hard how high up were you at coca-cola for eight? Maybe they were doing stuff they didn't let you in on. You know what I mean? They're not letting the entry-level, they're not letting the Dylan Burts of the world in on some of the trade secrets.

That's what I say about NASA. About NASA? I think I prefaced that with saying I saw a TikTok video claiming exactly what I said. That's what he says. That's exactly it. Exactly. Come on. I'm you, but just for mcdonald's you're an educated dusty you actually got a college degree that's the difference i ended

up in the same place yeah yeah i'm just saying yeah you both you're both buying into the same table yeah i saw a video claiming what I said on the podcast. So take it up with them. Be better. So you fought it to the death. That's the problem with these TikTok videos is people are seeing one second clip, and then they will go to their grave. They will – all it takes is another clip, and I can change it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Build a more compelling 15 second clip it is funny it is crazy because it is like i actually try to write i was thinking about trying to write a joke on this but then i was like i don't like i really want to uh but it's that idea is you're just be like people get yell at each other and you're like both of you just watched a regular person put a clip together no one studied anything and they're furious and they're like mine's right and no one will just admit no one's looking into any of this i watched a tiktok video today you know how you can stitch them like someone a little bit will

play and then another person comes in with their like rebuttal or whatever yeah and uh that was watching the first part and i was like oh yeah i'm into this and then the stitch comes in and then he starts correcting all the stuff and i go oh okay well i'm into this now you know what i mean it's like it's quick it's quick changing you're like first i'm like yeah she's making some great points and then then he comes in and i'm like oh okay i don't know she doesn't know what she's talking about but i don't know if that guy knows what if i was about. If I was on a jury, my mind would change. Because if I just watch a trial, I'm like, oh, yeah, that guy's guilty. Then the defense will get up.

I'm like, yeah, he didn't do that. I flip-flopped the whole trial. He should have did it. What did you say? He should have did it. He should have did it? Yeah, he's guilty, but I don't think this is a crime anymore. Oh, well, took a different take there.

Okay. Yeah, it's much different. but I don't think this is a crime anymore. Oh, well, took a different take there. Okay. Desmond Looney. These are some good names today. Desmond Looney. Dusty's disbelief in the carrot conspiracy is mind-blowing, given the bigger conspiracies he believes. Yeah. I think you've got to be grounded somewhere, though.

Yeah, I feel like the carrot thing is a deeper thing to try to keep us from eating carrots. It's more like, you know, big eyeglasses. Like, don't eat the carrots. You think Big Banana got involved? Like, they don't want us to eat carrots. They want us eating Reese cups. Buying eyeglasses.

I don't think anybody's pushing for us to not eat carrots, though. Now. It's a pretty good rebuttal, actually. If you're just listening. Dusty kind of just moved his arms. It's a pretty good point. Yeah. Nobody's pushing us to eat carrots, I'll say that.

We used to have Bugs Bunny, you know. And Bugs Bunny ate carrots all day, and it made carrots look delicious. Yeah. But cool, right? Yeah. He was a cool dude. Yeah. You guys remember that?

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, I saw where the- I saw Bugs Bunny early. Yeah. His Bugs Bunny was- Oh, yeah. He has a different-

You remember those old- But yeah, it's not the one we had. I know. I've seen some. early. Yeah. His Bugs Bunny was. Oh, yeah. You remember those old, but yeah, it's not the one we had. I know. I've seen some. Yeah. That is true. Because he watched

Tom and Jerry's parents. The Bugs Bunny I watched, they said some pretty racist stuff. Yeah. I've seen some old ones too where I'm like, jeez. What's up, doc?

NASA has said that the two astronauts are now definitely staying until at least February before they can come home yeah and you know

one of them's from Mount Juliet Barry Wilmore so when they come back can I invite him on the podcast yeah you know join us

and answer a few questions you gonna come by Dusty I don't know come by Dusty you gotta be here this guy what by. Dusty, you've got to be here. This guy, what's his name? Barry Wilmore. Barry Wilmore.

He's from Mount Juliet. Yeah, let's do it. I mean, I'd love to talk to him. Yeah, where you ask him, you go, so where have you really been? Yeah. I want to know what he saw. I want to know what it looked like up there. It's all dark.

Should be stars. You should see stars up there. I don't know. Do they see stars? I guess so. They should be able to. Yeah. I read where one of the things they're doing is-

What if he shows you a picture from his phone? I mean- And a video from his phone. I'd like to see it. Unedited. Yeah, I'd like to see it. Yeah. We'll have to take a look at it.

I read one of the things they're doing while they're up there is watering all the plants on the International Space Station. Wait, what? You know, they were supposed to be there for eight days. Now they're going to be there for months.

So it's one of their jobs they've been given is to water the plants. I would be annoyed because you're just giving me stuff to do. This is not, I didn't come up here.

Flush the gaskets. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That would be so- It's busy work, dude. You're like, hey, while you're there, you're like, don't order me. I would want it to be presented to me. I'd go, ask me politely to go, hey, since, you know, because what if they're like, all right, well, I need y'all to water the plants.

You're like, no, no, no, no. You are leaving us up here. Mentally, you messed up. These plants are dying now. Yeah. Yeah. How much water do Mentally, you messed up. These plants are dying now. Yeah. Yeah, how much water do they have? I don't know.

I'm sure it's for research, but I did read that article. Well, they're researching. Probably how plants grow in space. Yeah, we need to know that. What if we're going to live up there someday?

We're going to... Yeah, well, this is how this starts. Might as well do the plant thing now since y'all are stuck up there. That's what they told them. Hey, this is Houston.

You mind pouring some water on all those plants? Might as well do that study. We're not going to be able to get you to February. Yeah. So go ahead and water the plants. That could be the first question. Is it cold up there? Yeah.

Ask him that. That'd be a good question. Is it cold? Yeah. What's the temperature? temperature the temperature just in space well what if they're like they turn the heat on rotating around the earth and you're like getting in between the earth and the Sun at some point you would think that would be very hot it's probably would be hot at times mm-. You know, depending on how they're rotating. Oh, 2.7 Kelvins.

There we go. All right. Yeah, negative 400. That's what the answer should be. A word they made up today. No. 2.7 Kelvins. There you go.

Yeah. You go, what is that? Four big Kevins? I think it's... So even when... That's how much one Kevin weighs in space. So you got an Earth. 2.7 Kelvins.

Yeah. You got an Earth. You got a sun. The space station's going around. Yeah. At some point, it would be in between the Earth and the sun, right? Yeah.

So it would be, but they don't say anything about the heat? There's not enough matter to heat via radiation. There are fewer particles. Is it enough matter or does it matter? In the near vacuum of space, there's nothing. What's there to heat up? The space station. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, yeah. Well, I thought you meant you were just exposed. Yeah, no, I mean like- Is there even temperature? Yeah, it gets hot. Is there even temperature? Or do you just feel nothing?

Yeah. No, I think- You think it's pretty cold. Yeah, it's negative 450 degrees. Okay. Because if there's a difference from going to, say, Florida to Michigan in temperature, then being in between the sun and earth. Now the space station's moving too.

Yeah. That's true. Do they have air conditioning in the space station? Oh yeah. Or they have heat? There's all kinds. Yeah. Oh yeah.

They just do heat. He's sleeping in a sleeping bag. What if that broke? Yeah, it'd be bad. It's a big problem. They'd open a window. What if they crash into a satellite? That'd be awful bad. Yeah, that can be a problem too, for'd be bad. It's a big problem. They'd open a window. What if they crash into a satellite? That'd be awful bad.

Yeah, that can be a problem too, for sure. Yeah. That's what I want to see. I want a video on his phone of him whipping by satellites. You know, as they're flying through space and the satellite's coming this way, he's going this way, and they're like, whoa, that was wild. But they're orbiting. They're all orbiting the same way?

Yeah. I don't think so. They're all orbiting the same way? Yeah. I don't think so. They just get in line. I know, but is it like trying to merge in traffic? Yeah, I mean- With the satellites? They're all going- Some are going faster.

So others are going fast. So this would be a zooming by at some point if you're going faster. But I wonder, I bet it's like a plane where the different altitude. The farther you are away from the earth, the slower you travel around it. That's what it says. Satellites that are farther away.

Orbital velocity is quicker. It would be hotter too, though, if you got in between the sun further away. Closer to the sun. Yeah. You would think, though, in the the mountains that would be the true case but it's the opposite yeah which doesn't really add up

to the it's fun overall theory of no he's sleeping in a sleeping bag I saw that because they don't have a bed for him

oh really yeah I think they gave the woman a bed maybe but yeah he's sleeping in a sleeping bag and where does he that's what they're telling us

just floats in air I guess they strap it down somehow oh my guess is Barry's like listen we're gonna be up here till february we might as well be in the same bed here i wonder yeah keep each other warm i wonder if uh you know i put my i sleep with my arm under my thing. I wonder if you can do that in space. Oh, yeah. Where you're just like – is it just – you're just in the motion, you know?

It's like a water bed almost. Yeah, where it's like kind of like, do you like it? You're like, I don't know. Yeah. It's a little weird. Yeah. What he needs is a Helix mattress. Oh, yeah, he does.

There. Oh, yeah, because I'll't know. Yeah. It's a little weird. Yeah. What he needs is a Helix mattress. Oh, yeah, he does. There. Oh, yeah, because I'll tell you, I love my Helix mattress and pillow. I took the sleep quiz, got the mattress in with the pillows, and haven't slept better since. Unlike other brands, Helix mattresses do not contain fiberglass, which can be harmful to your health. Other mattress companies use fiberglass as a flame retardant on their products, but Helix mattresses are free of harmful fiberglass materials. In fact, Helix owns its own manufacturing facility, which is entirely free from products containing fiberglass. And I don't want fiberglass in my bed.

I got a couple of Helix mattresses now, and I think they're the best. I love them. Helix pillows are great. And I didn't know that they didn't have fiberglass in there, but I'm happy to know that. I don't want fiberglass in there. The Helix lineup offers 20 unique mattresses,

including their award-winning Lux and Ultra Premium Elite collections. They even have a Helix Kid mattress designed, growing bodies, and endorsed by child sleep experts. How do you know which mattress is best for you? Just take the Helix Sleep Quiz and find your perfect mattress in under two minutes. On top of... Okay, some confusing wording here.

I guess that's on top of that. On top of that, Helix has over 12,000 five-star reviews. That's hard to do. Helix is offering up to 25% off all mattress orders and two free pillows for our listeners. Go to helixsleep.com slash nate. That is helixsleep.com slash nate. This is their best offer yet, and it will not last long. With Helix, better sleep starts now.

I do love those pillows. Yeah. They're awesome. If they're not in my room when I go to bed, I go find it. We've got pillows all over the place. I go, where's the Helix pillows? Yeah. We lose our pillows.

Yeah. All the time uh michelle elizabeth someone specifically who believes he has face blindness is brad pitt i think nate is probably right it's because he meets a lot of people i would agree with that yeah yeah he's got i mean it's like just your whole you walk out the door and it's just just meeting everybody literally never a break from that never you're just like yeah dude i face everybody yeah in the wall it's and it's a mix of you know you're probably not even really registering like you're trying to but then you're like, every interaction has to be. It's like that person will never forget. Every interaction you have, the person you're meeting will never forget that moment. And you're just going to the store.

How crazy is that? That is crazy. Yeah. You're just going to the store, trying to buy something real fast. Kids about it, probably. They're going to say, the day I met Brad Pitt. Yeah, he came just going to the store, trying to buy something real fast. Yeah, they're going to tell their kids about it probably. They're going to say, the day I met Brad Pitt. Yeah, he came in the store. I couldn't believe it.

They're going to tell everybody. It is true. I saw the actor who played, I don't know his name, but he played Black Panther. Chadwick Boseman. Yeah, I saw him. In LA, I was going into a gas station. He was coming out. And yeah, I mean, I think about that, you know, and he didn't even, you know,

probably didn't even notice that I was there. And I was like, oh man, that's very exciting. Yeah. It's crazy. Kyle Gordon. Sounds like a NASCAR racer. Yeah, it does. Sounds like a NASCAR racer.

Yeah, it does. I apologize to the 5% to 20% of listeners with misophonia, right? I think so. Myself included, whose heart started racing when the gang started eating Pringles directly into their highly sensitive microphones. I'd like to say I did not eat a Pringle. I did think that as well, that y'all were just eating. Well, with somebody who probably has this, if I have anything, it's that. I can't stand that.

I am sorry that I did that. The Pringles just came out, and everybody, we were all eating them. I don't know what happened. I've not had Pringles in years. We did not eat them. I don't know what happened. Yeah. I am sorry, Kyle Gordon. Yeah. Did you eat any i'm not sorry dude the episode we were like two hours in

it became what it became yeah now i haven't listened to it maybe it's egregiously it would be you would be very mad about it if it wasn't if you take your of course yeah i like your attitude about it yeah but i am did am sorry. Did you eat? Of course. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. I don't know if you're afraid to eat in public.

We were doing eating competitions. It's like, yeah, I'm going to have a couple Pringles. They're so good. You're sampling peanut butter, drinking out of two liter Diet Pepsis. I'm going to have a Pringle or two. I'm anti-Pringles. And Skittles. And I taste, it was so good. Well,

today we're talking about hearing. We've already lost our hearing in our headphones, but misophonia. That's kind of funny. Yeah.

Yeah, that worked out. It's almost like thank you guys. Yeah. Yeah. Always thinking ahead. Yeah.

It said one in five people have misophonia and I thought that seems high, but one in four. I can't, I have a hard time if people are eating chips and- Gum? Smacking gum?

Gum doesn't bother me as much. Chips do. If I cannot get to my thought of my- If I cannot think of it, I don't mind it. But once it clicks, then I would have to leave the room, probably. First of all, 5% to 20% is a crazy range for a condition. You would almost say it's enough people to not be a condition and just be like, it's kind of annoying to hear people eat.

A lot of people, yeah, it's just annoying. Now, the percentage of those, it's a legitimate medical condition. But a lot of you are just like, yeah, you just notice people eating. That's what I think it is for me. I'm like... Are there any other noises besides food? Like tapping? Yeah, almost everything. I'd like it to be pretty quiet.

I do too. I don't like when y'all's hands hit the... I hear that. And I don't think enough. I've tried to learn. I've done hundreds of episodes now. I don't know if I can't hear yours. I hear yours and Greg here. If I hear them right here can't hear yours. I hear yours and Greg here, if I hear them right here. Greg's intense.

But when y'all, yeah, you just like, you know. But I don't think you hear it on the mics. Yeah. But I hear it. Sometimes you can.

You can hear it on the headphones. Like I hate leaf blowers. That's why I hate them because I'll be outside enjoying my day and then it's just. Oh, leaf blowers.'s just yeah well do you think you have misophonia do you have irrational anger irritation and disgust towards yeah yeah there's

dusty's photo yeah dusty phony that's me at the airport enough lip smacking I you enough. Lip smacking. You know what? Lip smacking can annoy me. I don't think you see it. I don't see it that much. Well, you hear it. Oh, causes.

Negative childhood experiences. Check. Hyperreactivity to external stimuli. I don't know about that or atypical activity in the auditory processing system i'll just go with number one um about 1.5 billion people worldwide suffer from hearing loss according to the World Health Organization. Complete hearing loss or just some? There's five levels.

And we know they're undefeated. WHO, the World Health Organization. Oh, yeah. They really nail it. That was just a fun joke. That was a pretty good joke. I missed who said it 1.5 million people didn't get it

yeah people got upset with him that's the joke there's mild, moderate, moderately severe severe, profound which I think would also be deaf profound hearing loss so

normal conversation they say is about 60 decibels. So that would be moderately severe if you couldn't even hear a normal conversation. Okay. I'd almost call that deaf. Yeah, if you can't have a normal conversation, that's deaf. If they can't hear it. Now, Aaron, have you ever heard of a condition called amusia? No.

It's a musical disorder where you can't process pitch. I know some people have that. There's different types. There's tone deaf, which we've heard of, and beat deafness, where you literally can't even pick up a beat. Does tone deaf mean that you can't hear it or you can't sing it? I think you can hear it. You just can't process it enough to get in

pitch okay is that right aaron yeah tone deaf is yeah you can't you can't hear it can you tell have you ever i mean how often you hear somebody singing you're like god that's off key can you know i don't think you can tell the difference between someone bad or good i really don't all right what do you mean? You may be. It's got to be pretty bad for me to notice. Yeah, I think everybody basically sounds the same. I mean, in theory. I know Adele sounds beautiful,

but then when somebody else sings at a church, you're like, I mean, that's, you know. Yeah, there are people who are extraordinary singers, and you can recognize that. You go, wow, that's really good. But if somebody's presented in a professional manner, you wouldn't know. Yeah, you're almost like, is this good? That's what I mean.

It's like dancing's the same way. What is that? I'm trying to see if your tone's up. All right, let's do it. Okay, well, don't look. How many keys am I playing? I don't even mean by keys. How many keys am I playing? I don't even mean by key. How many notes am I playing?

Two. You won't. Wait, so I don't even understand. How many different notes? Guess how many different things are you pressing? Like, this is one note. Yeah. Okay.

I'm going to play multiple notes. Okay. How many am I playing? I'll say three. I'm going two. Yeah, but you can do them at the same time. Do it again. He's hitting multiple keys.

Two. That's three notes. That's a C major triad. Oh, give me one more. Yeah, so that's... Oh, that was a... Yeah, I don't think I... I don't know music.

Okay. You're very good. Can you hear all three notes in that when it's all played? Kind of, yeah. Yeah, I hear a couple other things. I don't think I'm tone deaf. I think I'm... Musically illiterate, maybe? Yeah, I just don't. I think I'm just don't think I'm tone deaf I think I'm musically illiterate maybe

yeah I just don't yeah I did not I do not care that you did that she's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Ben Folds

what's that song about I don't know yeah we do it's but dancing if you you could put like that one girl that's that, you know, the Olympics, break dancing.

Yeah. But you could, and I get that that was bad, but you could probably convince a lot of people that she's good. Because there's no way. The entire country of Australia. Yeah. There's no way of, there's still no way of dancing. I'm not saying she was like, it looked like she was doing a joke. Understood her way of dancing.

I'm not saying she was like, it looked like she was doing a joke. But dancing is like, when you see people dance, you're like, you don't do these guys that do this like pop and, you know, all that. You're like, when you really think about it, you're like, it looks stupid. Of course. And then, so then you're, and it's like, oh, that person's a good dancer. You're like, I don't know. Dancing is very subjective. You're like, is it?

I don't even know how you could judge it. How could you even judge it? Well, you can tell when somebody's really bad. Like, you put me next to a professional. Yeah, I could just see that it's not this. But I mean, you know, if you just committed, the only reason you could tell is because you wouldn't commit because you'd feel embarrassed. No, if I committed, you could tell even more.

I don't know. I think dancing is- Let me get up here and dance right now for you guys. I think you're right about it being subjective, but I think sometimes it's just like with that- They're stiff. The pop and lock and kind of stuff is like it's a a real flow that you can see you can be like

oh this is real because when somebody does that well it's like oh dang that was really good but I don't know I don't know how you would

judge it like this dance versus this dance versus this dance yeah you know I think breakdancing is kind of dumb

to be in the Olympics I think I would be uncomfortable being around someone breakdancing dancing in general unless they were like enjoying themselves yeah do you think you would like it no oh yeah i would can you imagine being just next to someone they start going and you'd be like i gotta go well yeah this is how i feel uh glow stick yeah i hate going to karaoke because i get the same embarrassment. I don't think this is

funny that we're all bad. What are we doing? I hate it. Lucy loves to go to karaoke. I just stand outside the whole time. I can't be in the room. I'll wait by the car. Everybody going, yes! The whole thing is

infuriating and super embarrassing when you think about it. I agree. Dude, I had that watching a movie this weekend. I was thinking about being, you know, and I want to do a movie, but I was thinking about it, like them acting. And I'm like, how are you not in this movie? And you just go like, hey, this is stupid. I can't do this anymore.

Like, this is all made up. So I'm out. Like, I don't know how I wouldn't not do that. What was the movie? Shawshank? That's what I was thinking. No, we didn't know. It was Ray Liotta, that guy from Titanic,

the older guy that runs the boat. Are you not a Decaprian? No. He's like the – I don't know. He's not the captain. Maybe he's the captain. He's the guy they talked to that built it or whatever. Okay.

That guy. Yep. Another guy that we kind of knew. Ray Liotta, though. What's that guy's name? Ray Liotta? No, no. Ray Liotta and that other guy from Titanic.

I don't know his name, but he's a character actor. I've seen his stuff. Yeah, yeah. Is this a newer movie? Probably not. The Lock of Dudes? No. No, no.

It was a somewhat, it felt like a newer movie. What is it? Dangerous Waters. Dangerous Waters. 20, probably above you and I mean was it about water no I don't

I don't think there was water so anything you remember golly it wasn't good yeah cocaine beer no no

hold on keep hubby Halloween what is the what's that guy's name Titanic because if you type in No. No. Code on. Keep. Hubby Halloween. What is the, what's that guy's name, Titanic? Because if you type in the guy,

the guy from Titanic. Yes. I don't think he's the captain. Yeah, not the captain. It's like the architect. The architect. The guy that built it.

There he is. Thomas Andrews. Thomas Andrews. So. Oh, I know that guy. Yeah. But that's the guy. Oh, that's the character. Who played him. No, Thomas Andrews is the main person. that guy. Yeah. But that's the guy.

Oh, that's the character. Who played him. No, Thomas Andrews is the main person. That was the real person's name. What was the actor's name? Yeah, my bad. The actor's name is Victor Garber. Victor Garber.

So that guy. Victor Garber and Ray Liotta. Look at this detective work. The Entitled. Exactly. All right. You know what's funny is when we were watching it, someone kept saying they are entitled.

Dude, Lachlan Patterson, I swear, he kept saying entitled. Like the characters are acting entitled. Yeah. That was the name of the movie. Yeah, and I was like, and it was funny that he kept saying it. And then, because I was like, I heard him say it like two or three times, and I was like, why it was funny that he kept saying it. And then, because I was like, I heard him say it like two or three times. And I was like, why do you keep saying that word? The movie's called Entitled.

He's doing a bet. I don't know. He didn't know the name of the movie unless he's lying to us. I think he was messing with you. No, I don't. I really don't. None of us. It was on like the Samsung TV.

Well, if that's true, then they nailed it. They nailed it. Great acting. It's like you're watching a movie. Man, these are some good fellas in this movie. Yeah, this is it. The Entitled. Yeah, it was just on.

And so then we kind of just finished it. And a young man, broken jobless, abducts three rich college girls to try to get money from their father. So these girls are entitled. He kept entitled that's so funny and then it's called the entitled we were we even waited around to see the name of the movie yeah none of us looked it up a movie to watch do you search like what's what's the worst movie i can get my hands on and then just commit to uh this was just on this is commit to that? This was just on. This is not my fault.

Okay. This was just on. Okay. It's funny how that happens a lot. This one was just, it was pretty deep into it. I mean, the cast is kind of crazy. It's a good cast. Ray Liotta's great.

I met Ray Liotta once. Did you really? Where? When I worked at News Channel 5. He came on Talk of the Town. That's cool. What did he talk about? Chantix.

That's it. Kyle Dunnigan. I had to follow Scott Baio this morning on Today in Nashville. Oh. Yeah. It was taped ahead of time, but they made it look like he was there. Nice. Oh, you didn't meet him?

No, no, no. They came and they taped it. But when they did the promo, it was like Ray Liotta on the couch. And then they pan over, and I'm standing offside of the couch. It looked like I was hanging out with Scott Baio. Yeah. But we weren't. Why'd you say Ray Liotta?

Did I say Ray Liotta? I was Scott Baio. Oh. Sorry. Ray Liotta's dead. No, you said Scott Baio. Okay. No, no.

He did. He did a little bit of both. He did both the same time. Oh, okay. So they go, they showed Ray Liotta, and then I'm standing there. Scott Baio. Okay. No, no. He did. He did a little bit of both. He did both the second time. He goes, they go, they showed Ray Liotta and then I'm standing there.

The story was a lost cause from the beginning. No, the story's about Scott Baio. Do you know who Scott Baio is? Charles and George. Okay. That makes more sense for your age.

Yeah, yeah. He was Chachi. On happy days. On happy days, yeah. Then he had his own spinoff show. Joni loves Chachi. Both great.

like it was just you know just enjoyed it escape yeah it was awesome. It's like going to movies, dude. And it's like what you want the movies to be. Like it was just, you know, I enjoyed it. Escape. Yeah, it was awesome. It wasn't like heavy. It wasn't something. It wasn't, no one's dressed up like characters. No one's, it's just, we watched a, you know, kind of fun movie, the end of it.

And you're like, all right. Like that's a review of movies. That's even kind of getting where it's like, if someone reviews a movie, you're like, yeah, dude, we couldn't be, you can't take everything this serious. Like, let's just watch the movie. Yeah. And enjoy it.

I try to think, I did watch a movie. I'm just trying to think. I watched a movie called Runaway Jury. Mm-hmm. It was a good one. Yeah. Really good. Gene Hackman, anything Gene Hackman's ever done. John Grisham.

John Grisham, yeah. John Cusack. Dusty, before you joined our podcast, probably, I don't know, three years ago, Aaron pointed out that there are some tones that you can no longer hear once you get a certain age.

Nate didn't believe it. Said it was bogus, but he did it, and sure enough, us old guys didn't believe it said it was bogus but he did it and sure enough us old guys couldn't hear it and aaron could i think right do you know that aaron was telling the truth i have no idea because i can't hear it so it could have been nothing but um lauren who was here then and i trust her and she said she could hear it yeah yeah harper and them could hear it yeah it's you guys you have the could hear it. Yeah. You guys couldn't hear it. Do you have the noise? Yeah, I can find it real quick.

It was a – Well – Guys would have it as their ringtone on their phone. Oh, yeah, in school. Yeah. Just crazy. So the teachers couldn't – Crazy.

Wow. Yeah, I mean, I never even heard of it, this. So – You think it'll work? You think the headphones works at all? Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. It's just going to play

from the laptop. Okay, because I hear you. Yeah. You hear both? Yeah. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I just heard

sound from a very inconstant basic S-B-2-1. Can anybody hear it? Now, you heard it? Adrian? Yeah, basically. Did you not hear it? Do you heard it, Adrian? Can you not hear it? Do it again.

Why do it again? Yeah, hold on. I'm going to turn it up. You're probably going to be able to hear it. Can't hear this. So are you ready to see if you're young? At three, two, one. I don't hear it.

No, I didn't hear it. I don't hear it. You hear it, Dusty? No, I don't hear it. I don't think any. I don't hear it. No, I didn't hear it. I don't hear it. You hear it, Dusty? No, I don't hear it. That's crazy. I don't think anybody... No. What is it?

I don't think anybody hears it. Is it like... What is it? It's just a high-pitched noise. Oh, well, our ears have been damaged by the headphones today. Yeah. Yeah. It might be true.

I did not hear it. That's interesting, man. It sounded, it's pretty loud. I can hear it. It's probably on its way out for me, but I can hear it right now. So the whole Yanni Laurel thing, I think was the same thing. If you could hear, if you're younger, you hear, tend to hear Yanni. And if you're older, you tend to hear Laurel.

I listened to it last night. It sounds 100% like Laurel. I mean, that even spells it for you. Yeah. I hear Laurel. So everybody hears Laurel? Yeah, I hear Laurel. But it was about 50-50, I think.

Yeah. Yeah, you can get it to Yanni. If you really think it, you can hear it. Yeah. Sometimes if you, I think there's a thing where if you watch a word while they're doing something like that, you hear it. Yeah. And then the same sound, you watch a different word, you hear that word.

Yeah. that you hear it yeah and then the same sound you watch a different word you hear that word yeah i hear green needle yeah i hear brainstorm yeah brainstorm that's what i hear i heard both too that's crazy yeah wow this is fun man I heard both, too. It's crazy. Yeah, wow. This is fun, man. Keep doing more. This is the best I got.

Yeah, and let's do more of these. I mean, these are massively viral things. Yeah, it's got 2.7 million. The animal with the best hearing? Parrot. Well, that's a good guess. The best hearing? It would be a bird.

A bat. Bats, I think second. Stupid. That's a pretty good guess. Oh, sonar. Yeah, they screech out. Sonar doesn't count. Echolocation.

Okay. Well, that shouldn't even count. That's like a whale. A whale does sonar. They're like, well, I hear everything. You go, come on, dude. You're not hearing. You're not having a conversation.

You're just bouncing your thing. Is it a whale? Well, whales can hear sounds 900 miles away, according to Adrian's research. But that's not what I had as number one. Number one. We're dominating this. Are humans on the list? I don't think so. I would think it would be.

A dog? How many other animals are here in this podcast? You're never going to guess? Where does it live? It's something that a bat would eat. Mice? Rat? It flies. Mosquito? Mosquito? A moth. A moth? I ain't hearing anything, dude. Mice. Rat. It flies. Bird. Mosquito. A moth. A moth. They ain't hearing anything, dude.

Nobody knows what they hear. That's dumb. Because we don't. They're out here getting eaten by bats. They're so dumb. Yeah, there's no way. What are they doing? How do they not hear the bats?

They don't do a thing with it. It's an old butterfly. They use the high frequency to avoid a bat. I mean, to evade the predators like bats. I like that. A moth is an old butterfly. They can hear 15 times higher than the highest pitched sound we can hear. No one knows that.

So how are butterflies not like two on the list? How high do butterflies rank rank I don't know yeah there's no way moths hey a little cheating with the bat

hey how does a bat also a moth is not really an animal yeah it's like a what would you call it an annoyance this one says butterflies

I think insects are animals butterflies don't even communicate with noise really they do visually and chemically. So they don't have much use for ears. People got too much time on their hand. They got to write.

What are they writing? Who is, did a doctor, scientist, architect write this article? This is Stuart Blackman. Who's that? He explains why moths have a greater need for ears and hearing than butterflies do. And there's a lot of research on this. It's 18 words of that article.

That's it. That's a pretty small article. Yeah. That's all I have to say. It was short. Anyway. Anyway. I read where some blind people have echolocation where

their other senses improve to the point where they can tap and vibrations they can tell where certain things are that's nice

does that work for all senses you lose one you get a little more like daredevil yeah what if you didn't get the sound though you just got like

heightened smell yeah what if you didn't get the sound though you just got like heightened smell um brian that'd be just mean anybody say your name you're like you're like i was out in the car holly we took her on a walk her hearing is crazy yeah and it's and she can pick up on stuff uh we were walking this trail and i kind of this one little back there's it's it's uh these trails that kind of dead end so if no one's back there i'll just walk her and like take her off the leash and then she but she kept stopping and like kind of looking back but there's like there's no one and so then i finally put her on leash because like something's

going on and then then three minutes uh these people walk up with a dog and i mean they were out of note like you know there was you couldn't tell like but i could just see she was kind of like not letting something go. And then, yeah. Yeah, imagine if he had a moth with you. Oh, I wouldn't have even. But. Trying to fly it on a string. Maybe all these guys would have heard the people as soon as she did.

What do you mean? Because they could all hear the tone. You and I are just deaf. Could be. Maybe it's not that she's that good, so we're that bad. Holly the dog? No. Walking a moth

on a string is funny. Visual. So, the small... Why do moths need to even hear? I think they hear

predators coming after bats and things. Yeah. Is that a moth, what is that, mother-in-law of butterflies? it just goes yeah it's just you can hear everything go i don't know it's too bad that the

moths are probably you know moth is the best hearing animal but then the second best is their predator yeah it's like your one thing. Yeah. They're like, yeah. But they can't even get away from it. Yeah, yeah. They can't even get away from it. Yeah.

So what's the point? That's what I'm saying. It's like they can't. They're getting, you go, you guys are terrible at this. Why would a moth even need, what is it? It can't go anywhere. If it hears, it would have to hear something. Maybe that's how far of a head start they need.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If it hears the flap of a bat's wing, it just kind of moves. I don't think they can move that quick. I think they can get, I mean. No, I think they move with purpose, but I don't think it's jerks. Yeah, I think they, I mean, I think they pick a direction they go, but I don't think they, I don't think they question theirks. Yeah, I think they pick a direction they go,

but I don't think they question their direction, but they're not. I think a gust of wind could affect it. Yeah. Now, Dusty, do you know why we see lightning and then we later hear thunder? Well, I've always been told, and I don't know if this is true, and I've not even seen a TikTok video on it, but that lightning is faster than sound. So you see the flash, and then the sound comes later.

Yeah, light in general is faster than sound. Not just lightning. Yeah. Well, we were specifically talking about light. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's the light part that doesn't. Yeah, not the ing. I don't know how fast Ng travels But light travels pretty fast

So sound travels at 760 miles per hour Light travels at 186,000 miles per hour Pretty quick So fast Yeah Yeah

The best way to measure Measure the distance of lightning From your location Is by counting the seconds Yeah Between the lightning and thunder And for every five seconds you count That's one mile

Oh that's Because we used to do one Mississippi, two Mississippi. And I always thought each one was a mile. I did too. But this says five seconds is one mile. Oh, God. Here's what you do. You don't count it, but when you hear the thunder, you go, ah, it's pretty far away.

That's what I do every time. And if you can say that, that's one mile. There you go. Yeah, it's at least a mile. Then you go, it's even farther than that uh some famous don't worry about it yeah some famous deaf people uh helen keller there you go there's a whole yeah what is this they don't people don't believe she oh we just talked about this yeah we just talked about it on here yeah A lot of people don't think she really existed. But she's on the Alabama quarter.

She's a big Alabama icon, I think you'd call her. Do a lot of people don't think that or Dusty? More than you think. I think there's a fair amount. That's a bit of a conspiracy out there that Helen Keller's not real. It's one of those fun, harmless ones that people like to say, like Stevie Wonder not being blind. You just kind of say it.

And there's two videos withvie wonder that's really interesting but maybe he has a bit of that sonar type thing yeah you know because it is like someone blew a kiss to him he blew a kiss back to them i've seen that and then there were uh paul mccartney microphone the mic stand and he caught it but the microphone maybe he does have a bit of the sonar where he's like i heard that the blow and the kiss that's pretty impressive i'm glad i heard the kiss helen killer from alabama yeah yeah we're riding joy monk spent time in montgomery right i think she's northern alabama near florence when you when like she die? 1980s? No.

It was 1800s, right? Helen Keller, she died 1968. How could you not? People would have known her. Yeah. They used to say there was a sign saying come see what she couldn't.

Advertising like the museum, Helen Keller. Wow. Yeah. Advertising like the museum, Helen Keller. Wow. And Mark. Yeah, why would they not? This is the, you know why no one believes in her? Because this is the new, this is the new age of these. Everybody just thinks earth did nothing existed before them. And that's why you have, that's why this stuff can get drummed up.

And because you have someone that was born in 2002 and they go, nothing was around before I was around. And so none of this old stuff even exists. Because arrogance of the present. It is, I completely. Everything before me, they're idiots. It's a great way to put it. Arrogance is exactly that. before me they're idiots it's a great way to put it arrogance it's exactly that

I think they say though they don't they just assume nothing I mean 1968 to someone born in 2000 is

is what I feel towards 1880 like they're they just don't and then they they now they just get going and then they go

you know what maybe that is right and then like the people teaching them were young. And two, because it's probably the people that are born with the internet, so they've never really searched for information. They just think, I know everything. And so now there's just anything that's older is just completely forgot about.

And that's why history would always repeat itself because anybody, you get too far from it, they're going to just go, no, that didn't happen like that. I think they say Ann Sullivan. Some people say it was like a real communist kind of lady. And so she had a lot of writings out there and maybe even used Helen Keller to be like that.

But this lady died in 1936. How do they have her date of her death if she's not Helen Keller, not real? Like was she? I didn't think Helen Keller was a real person. It was just that they lied about the details of her disabilities. Oh, that she could hear? Yeah, maybe you could hear a little bit. I don't know.

You're born in 1880. It was 50-50 if you could hear? Yeah, maybe you could hear a little bit. I don't know. I mean, dude, back in, you were born in 1880. It was 50-50 if you could hear back then. Yeah. What was there even to hear, right? What was there even to hear? Were there even sounds back then? Yeah. Horses clopping.

1880, dude. We were born, and when I was born, there's people alive from the 1800s. Yeah, it's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah. You know, and that's what like, that's how quickly, what is it?

There was a Joe Biden thing that he was like one removed from like Lincoln or something. Or it was some kind of something like that. I'm not trying to be political. I'm just saying it's insane's insane how the it was just this jfk like you know like that my parents were in school when they're you know yeah it's in there when it's insane even to think about just us though like to be alive when there were no cell phones and then to see where where that stuff's at now. Yeah, I hate to even bring this up

because people say I kill everybody on this podcast, but I couldn't believe this person was still alive. Oh, no. Should I even say? I mean, you want to write their name down and then maybe... It's just like, God, the wife of Jackie Robinson Rachel Robinson still alive

and they were basically the same age there's a 0% chance she's alive in a week yeah well she's like 102 but Jackie Robinson oh my gosh

his wife it seems like you're coming for her I'm not I'm just like the way you're like pulling it out it does because why would you even bring his wife up yeah because yeah who even thinks about i never just had

a birthday who who even you know you know what babe ruth's aunt is still alive what i think that would be incredible someone older than babe ruth is still alive? Oh, my gosh. Why would you kill this poor lady? How old is she? 102. She just turned 102. Y'all are going to blame me if she dies now. She was born in 1922.

Yeah. If it does happen like within the week, then you can't mention anyone else. Yeah. Yeah, you need it. She needs to live the rest of this year. If I go home, pull up Twitter, and I find out that Jackie Robinson's

wife's dead. Stop saying it, because now people are going to be rooting for her to die. Just to put it on me. No one's rooting for her. See, stop saying it, because now people are going to be rooting for her to die, just to put it on me. Nobody is. No, no one's rooting for her. Yeah, but I think if she doesn't make it out of this year, it's on you. All right, so this will be September, the time this comes out. Right, right. That's fair.

That's fair. Four months. All right. Bless her heart. What'd you say? I said bless her heart.'d you say? I said bless her heart I just think that was kind of crazy it is crazy though

anybody over 100 years old is crazy to me yeah I mean I think John F. Kennedy could still be alive well couldn't Elvis be alive? yeah I mean they'd be very old but I think they'd be like,

you'd be like 100 or something, right? Chief Kane, I was like, man. Clint Eastwood is crazy to me that he's still alive. See,

I'm not going there. Well, I don't have this kind of effect on people's lives. That's true, yeah. But I'm just saying, like,

if you think about the Westerns that he was involved in, like these early, and it's like, he's still involved in movies. I met Clint Eastwood yeah at the at&t thing real quick shook his hand very nice very very old like he wouldn't even realize what i was around but he was i was he was like i was the one that you're like i need to go i would like to go he's still directing movies isn't he yeah yeah he's great what's that movie, Gran Torino?

Gran Torino, yeah. Yeah, it's good. The Mule. Yeah, I didn't watch The Mule, but Gran Torino was really good. Cry Macho is a movie I saw recently. That one's very good. Yeah, that's, I guess, his last one. Yeah, he looks real old in that movie.

That's a good one. All right, so other people who were deaf or partially deaf, Beethoven. He would listen to, he would cut the legs off his piano to get it on the floor so he could hear the vibrations when he was writing his symphonies. That's interesting. Probably annoying to the person below him. In the apartment downstairs? Just, who doesn't know,

he's not Beethoven. Yeah. He's just some guy at that point. Marvin. Is some guy that you can't even go tell him to stop doing it. What's his first name? Ludwig. Because he can't hear you?

Yeah. Ludwig Van Beethoven. You're not knocking on the door. Lou Beethoven. Van Beethoven? Ludwig. Ludwig. Ludwig.

They don't call him Ludwig. I bet they call him Lou. call me but they call him lou you know they call him lou louie maybe wig louis van beethoven louis b do you think you could hear a chime i think so i think you could hear a chime and you're about to hear a chime right now because i am so excited summer's almost over because summer can get expensive with all your planning so when you have financial goals you need to figure out what's worth saving for.

I think I'm annoyed at this, Helen, if people think that's fake. It's just don't make your life about yourself. That's what it feels like. What do you mean? It's because you just take something that a person lived and, you know, did all these things, and no one's ever really did it.

And then it's just you get to come out of nowhere and go, you know what, I don't know if I believe that she's real. And I think it's just so her life is now about you because you don't believe it she's got to prove herself to you what does she owe you she doesn't owe you anything but you're making her go well now you owe me something

because I don't believe what are the basis they're saying did she invent braille I don't think so just that she was deaf and blind and wrote 12 books before like how did this she was a member of the socialist party. It's like that's the stuff that's just so –

So she's like deaf and blind, but I got a lot of government ideas. Well, it's just – I have no idea where it all comes from, so I could be – She's like, who's the other guy, that guy that lived for a long time, the guy in the wheelchair and a real computer guy? Stephen Hawking. Yeah, I mean, see, that seems fake to me, too. A real computer guy. Yeah, you know what I mean?

Well, I just heard a conspiracy theory about him that other scientists were propping him up as far as how smart he was. They were doing a lot of the work. Yeah, I think that was all fake, too. Maybe for a while, but he lived way longer than what everybody you don't think he was handicapped no no i'm saying i think it was pretty clear i think it yeah it was definitely handicapped but i think at some point steven hoggins he died and they just kept it going because he wasn't i mean i think i feel like they were like he wasn't supposed to live that long

yeah i think he did live a lot longer than they did. And then he had this thing that nobody else seems to have where you can push the keyboard and talk. I mean, maybe somebody has it. Yeah, I mean, whoever starts this kind of thing up, though, it's just frustrating because it's, you know, it's, I mean, you just think about anything that you do can just, someone can just show up and go, I don't believe it.

And you're like, why? And they go, everything's written off of probably a video. It's probably they saw someone say something. And so now a mainstream, and maybe that's just more I'm upset at the mainstream. It's like the journalist, they're just like like then they go write an article about it which then puts it out even to more people which just adds on to it and you want to go like you're not even really you're just watching

a video and they just kind of look into it I can't trust that anybody really looked into anything but then they go and make this article debunking that though has anybody has any other blind and deaf people existed? Yeah.

Has there? Yeah. A mute. Is that what a mute? I think you can't. But that would be... But you guys are saying it like it's real common knowledge, and I just wonder. Well, part of the story, the story was never that that was a unique phenomenon.

It was that she was able to overcome that and write books and talk about her experiences. This guy says – this guy – this article says this dude had locked-in syndrome where he couldn't move his body at all. He wrote an entire book by blinking his left eyelid. It's pretty amazing. You know, to find a way to – Yeah, that picture of her up there i think with the president i mean she wouldn't be fun to hang out with i don't understand how you write a book is that the uh it's eisenhower i doubt the blinking left eyelid yeah i mean like you have a picture of her and eisenhower i don't i'm not buying how do you even what it what is so it's not a real picture or they're just saying that's not hill and killer no there's just he's lying about her i'm just

saying what they think she's lying about being completely or maybe i mean and sullivan was right it's i think it's stupid for sure. Yeah. I mean, but it's just like, I feel like that happens a lot. Like that's the frustrating part is I think it's arrogant. I agree with you. I think it's a big, big arrogance. I agree with you. And you're making your whole life about you. I think.

You go, how can I make this about me? Because I did not do this stuff. I know how I'll make it about me. I'll just count everything that that person did because now you have to talk to me and you have to go, why do you, and then I'll convince you why I think it's,

when the person could care less. What were the books she wrote? What was she talking about? It was like comedy. I don't know, but in high school, one of our plays was The Miracle Worker. Miracle Worker is a very famous...

So The Story of My Life was her autobiography. Okay, all right. I can buy it, The Story of My Life. Published in 1903. Parts of it were adapted, became a movie, and a Broadway play. I watched some of it when I was in school. They had a water out there,

and then it was the moment where she started saying, what, yeah yeah i've seen that um but like i don't buy the blinking left eye guy writing a book why not what how you writing a book it takes some time you have an alphabet grid and somebody points to it and you blink your eye when they get to the letter i'm sure there's probably something okay yeah yeah did you see uh breaking bad you ever see breaking bad yeah when uh hector salamanca can only communicate by tapping a bell with his finger yeah and then they get an alphabet grid and they work through it that way i'm sure they develop some system where you can communicate okay all right all right okay some kind of binary system all right it takes a while yeah yeah it's gonna... You've got a lot of time.

Yeah, a lot. I'm not even making fun. If you can't move, you've got a lot of time. You've got to be patient. It's tedious, but it's pretty amazing. Okay, all right. Yeah. And what?

It's tedious? Tedious. Tedious. What if he finished it and it's just not good? You're like, it's impressive. Yeah, this is amazing. Not really good. Boring.

Work on the story a little bit. I think you, yeah. Yeah. I think you'd have to just be impressed. Like, you're just like, it's the, it's like someone lifting 500 pounds. You're like, good, buddy. So, yeah, your form's not great, but you did it. Yeah.

Yeah. Thomas Edison, totally deaf in one ear, hard of hearing the other, but he thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways because it kept conversations short so that he had

more time for work that I don't believe he called himself a two shift man because he worked 16 out of every 24 hours I've heard old men

make that joke my whole life I'm deaf in one ear and can't hear out of the other. Yeah. Yeah. It's a funny joke. Yeah. It is a good joke though. Yeah. Yeah. Some actors or actresses. Millie Bobby Brown.

Can't hear out of one ear. Halle Berry. Stephen Colbert. Halle Berry's deaf in one ear. Wow. Yeah. You know what's interesting is it doesn't seem Halle Berry? Stephen Colbert? Halle Berry's deaf in one ear? Wow. Yep. You know what's interesting is it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me.

But when we were wearing the headphones and one ear went out, we still had perfect hearing in the other. But we were like, oh, take it off. I can't do it. I can't do it. You're like, just cancel the episode. We can't do this. Marlee like, just cancel the episode. We can't do this. Marlee Matlin won an Oscar.

Yeah. She's in the West Wing, too. Pretty big character in that show. In Seinfeld. She's really good. Yeah, she is in Seinfeld. Was she in Seinfeld? She was the deaf woman that Jerry made. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Some movies about hearing. We know we're getting near the end uh coda won best pitcher at the oscars just a couple years ago oh yeah very good movie she's in it um i'd recommend yeah you want to check it out sound of metal sound of metal is great dude that's a really good movie oh yeah it's about a rock drummer who just starts to go deaf. Yeah. And just has to like accept that. Is it like documentary? No, it's a scripted movie.

Oh. It's great. It is great. Stars Born. Bradley Cooper. Couldn't hear out of one ear. In the movie or in real life? In the movie.

Okay. Creed. The Creed movies. Creed's Girlfriend's going to... Why would you say the movie if it was just Bradley? I don't know.

I don't know. Maybe something happened on set. Yeah. And I haven't seen any of the Quiet Place movies, but apparently it's one of the

quietest movies ever made. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I saw the first one. It was good. It was good, yeah. Yeah.

I haven't watched the past set. It's a Wonderful Life. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I saw the first one. It was good. It was good, yeah. Yeah. I haven't watched it past that. It's a Wonderful Life. Oh, yeah. Because you can hear out of both of his ears when he becomes an angel. Oh. The point is he can't hear out of one ear. Wow. And then when he's.

He had a sledding accident when he was a kid. Yeah. Lost hearing. And then when Clarence the angel shows him what his life would have been like if he didn't exist now he can hear out of both ears

oh okay I forgot that part of it yeah I never seen that movie it's one of the best movies ever made yeah it's by

my parents it's like top five movie mine too transcends Christmas you shouldn't even think of it as a Christmas movie but watch it during Christmas

but yeah yeah don't think it was a Christmas movie but they only hear it during Christmas. But yeah. Yeah, don't think it was a Christmas movie, but they only air it during Christmas. Yeah, okay. I'm saying, it's bigger than Christmas.

But the only time people watch it is Christmas, and the movie is mainly Christmas. It sounds like a Scrooge type thing, where he's like, Ghost of Christmas Past

sort of thing. A little bit. I like those. Have you ever seen the one with Bill Murray? It's crazy, yeah. Scrooged? No.

That's a good one. It's a very funny SNL sketch where Dana Carvey plays George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life. And then when they all rejoice at the end, they're like, well, old man Potter, he stole that money. This won't mean anything to you. And they're like, well, old man Potter, he like stole that money. This won't mean anything to you, but, and they're like,

let's go get him. They go get him and just beat him up. And that's how the movie ends with Jim just beating up an old guy in a wheelchair. All right. That was good.

Yeah. All right. We can stop or we can get into this. That's basically what the movie's about. Yeah. Okay.

All right. I can't wait to get into it. Yeah. It wonderful life is that what it is yeah what's miracle on 34th street that's about proving santa claus is real it's back to macy's still open yeah that's the real miracle now yeah yeah. They are closing something, I heard. I don't know. Are they? I did hear that, yeah. In Red Lobster? Yeah. Myrtle Beach and Red, the Red Lobster in Myrtle Beach was closed.

Oh. Yeah. I think that'd be one of their good ones. You would think, but they got other seafood out there. Yeah. Don't need the chains. Is that it?

Yeah, we can get into the ear if we want, but I mean. Is there? The hammer, the anvil and the stirrup Three smallest bones in the ear In the body But they're all in the ear Alright we should probably stop Ear self cleaning Ear wax

It does And it's bad to clean your ear with a q-tip I use q-tip I use q-tips every day it's unbelievable I use them a lot I use them every multiple times a day

yeah feels good yeah you do it Brian you ever you read anything about crystals in your ears you see that at all in your research

no because I do you tell us about that I forgot glad you brought it up well I got vertigo and they tell you that there's crystals in your ears, and that's what keeps you balanced.

I got to joke about it. Sandwiches? White Castle? Yeah. Yeah. A little crystal burgers in there. Crystals in my ear. But, yeah, that's what the doctors say.

Have you had any bouts recently of vertigo? Not in a while. Sometimes if I stand up after the podcast i feel a little bit of yeah you know yeah stand up too quickly i've been making jokes about uh how morticians should have all these crystals from people's ears you know i got one more is there deal with the body and then you show how good of a mortician you are by how many crystals you have look at all these bodies i worked on. You have a rhinestone jacket of just ear

crystals. I don't doubt that it's funny, but what a weird thing. That's 10 minutes right there. Is this when those people walked out? Yeah, I think they were gone by then. They were already gone. That was next. I'm glad they left, because they're not going to like where we're going.

Now that they're gone, let's get into it. What about morticians? Okay, tell me if this is impressive. No. There's a singer. They wrote a musical, and they needed someone who could hit a low E. Not only could this guy, Tim someone who could hit a low E not only could this guy Tim Storms

hit a low E he could go two octaves further down holding a G7 whatever that is which is eight octaves below the lowest G on the piano

wow yeah that's insane his voice is so deep you can't even hear him is he in the Oak Ridge Boys yeah I listen to him. He sounds like Richard Sterven. Yeah, that's super loaded.

Yeah, he's on YouTube if you want to check him out. He sounds like Richard Sterven. But you can't hear him. Is it a joke? No, I think that, I mean, I read that, that some of his voice is so deep you can't hear it with a human ear, which I don't even understand that. That's what I say, too, when I'm singing.

I go, no, you can't hear it. No, I'm killing it. It's just super low right now. But does that make sense, Aaron? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had a friend in high school who was in the choir, and he was so bad that a teacher told him, you have to lip sync all year at the concerts if you lip sync

all year i'll give you a c but you are not going to sing a note because he was that bad so he would just if you watch it the whole choir singing he's just he's saying i'm singing solo. What if he was like, I wanted an A though? Yeah. She would just flunk him. This guy was pretty cool to see. Oh, yeah. It was like understood. Oh, yeah. It was like, oh, this is the best deal on earth.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I could just show up and get a C. Oh, here's one more. In World War I, parrots were kept on the Eiffel Tower in Paris

because of their remarkable sense of hearing. Parrots? Parrots. Oh, yeah, yeah. I said parrots. When the parrots parrots oh yeah yeah i said when the parrots heard enemy aircraft they warned everyone of the approaching danger long before any human ear could hear it she got some bats up there some moths it's hard to get a bat to do what you want it to do yeah yeah you know parrots have the time yeah yeah there's a lot of blinking yeah they don't have any they're not going anywhere yeah

they want to be around people they want to be active they want to be social and they want to say things yeah they want to be like plane yeah yeah and they can't hear them because they're on top of the eiffel tower. That's tough. Yeah, you need more parrots at the bottom. You got to yell down. Hear the other parrot. Relay this. What did he say? Why would they put them at the top?

I mean, if they could hear, why is their hearing better up there than below? I guess it's just unstructured. Yeah. Because it's not about seeing the planes. But there's less noise pollution up there. Okay. So then Guy just sits up there with a parrot, and then you got to watch a parrot all day that his whole life is going, it looks like it sees something.

He's like, you're like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what? Nothing. How does he know? Yeah. I bet it was a very frustrating job. Yeah. And I bet it wasn't that early enough. Like you're like, it's a beat early, but by the time you figure it,

I bet you don't know it was a thing until you're like, no, I see it now. And you go, I thought he was just acting crazy. Because that's what he does. He saves you five seconds tops. Yeah. And by the time you get it down to the, how do you go get it down the bottom of the Eiffel Tower? Yeah, you're almost behind by the time you relay it. Yeah, they don't have an elevator.

Elevators were not invented. Yeah, they're like, plane, and then it's coming. They're like, well, yeah, we see it. Yeah, obviously, plane now. Just drop a note or something. Yeah. What if it flies away? The note?

No, the paper. It'd be on a piece of stone. Yeah. Chisel it. The squirrel, dude, the paper. It'd be on a piece of stone. Yeah. Chisel it. The squirrel. Dude, the velocity. Terminal velocity. Just throw a squirrel down.

Just throw a squirrel down. When the squirrel falls, you know the plane's coming. Squirrels can't die. Isn't that nice? They can't die from falling. Is that right? Yeah.

Can they get hurt? I mean, I didn't get banged up. I'm pretty sure, but they're not going to die. Wow. That's nice. You can throw one out of a plane. I don't believe that. Well, let's go try it out.

I believe the idea that they could fall out of a tree and not die, but I think a plane. The whole point of this is that once they reach their terminal velocity, they're designed in such a way that they won't die when they hit the ground. They can sustain a fall from their terminal velocity. I don't know what that means. That means they'll only fall at a certain speed, and then it won't go any faster.

Everything falls, it's going to eventually peak out and not get any faster. It's just the way it works. I thought everything fell at the same speed. The same acceleration. Everything falls at the same gravitational acceleration, whatever you want to call it. Everything falls at the same speed. The same acceleration. Everything falls at the same gravitational acceleration, whatever you want to call it. Everything falls at the same speed.

But because of your weight and your mass, you have a terminal velocity. They spread out, get some wind resistance. Yes. So they might really fall out of a plane than a tree. Yeah. At least they can catch the wind or something. Yeah, exactly. And you might a tree. Yeah. At least they can catch the wind or something. Yeah, exactly. And you might as well.

Yeah. Let's get a, what if you strapped a GoPro on? Would that make it too fast though? Might weight it down too much. Yeah, that would change its terminal velocity. I guess you could just drop a GoPro. Yeah. We'll just try it out.

We'll put one on one. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get Bill from the Grove to drive us in his plane. Yeah, throw it out of the plane. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Can I of the plane. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Can I pitch some shows? Yeah. September 15th, I'm at Tempe Improv. September 17th, my Brian Bates and friends here at Zany. September 22nd, Commonwealth Sanctuary, Dayton, Kentucky. That is a family-friendly, all-ages show. The other shows are going to be pretty dirty. Yep.
