Today's episode of the Nightland podcast is brought to you by Pesty, AG1, Better Help, and DraftKings. Hello folks and hey bear, as always, Brian Bates, Dusty Slay. All right. And sitting in for two hosts. Oh, I am. Yeah. It's a lot of pressure. We're training champ, John Crist.

What's up, everybody? Everybody's like, let's hear what Nate has to say about SNL. Not this week. And you got a fresh haircut and a taco shirt representing Nate and Aaron. Oh, yeah. This is like one time when I did a, and I don't mean to start. No, you keep going.

I already started. I already interjected. It's not my podcast. Go ahead. Well, Aaron is being a new dad and having a great time. I talked to him today. He's doing great and he's just enjoying being a new dad with baby olive and you know, he'll be back. We look hopefully next week. We look forward to hearing all about baby

olive, but but Aaron's enjoying some dad time with her. Nate, everyone is very disappointed. I think that he's not here. So many people, not even because SNL. I'm not that bad. I'm not either, actually. Well, not public figures, but the general public folks. You guys are probably happy. I wouldn't say happy, but I'm not. I'm not disappointed about it. Yeah, it's irrelevant. We got to talk about his outfits. We'll get to that later. Well, do we review that people last time? Um Saturday Night Live outfits? Yeah. We can but the folks wanted to hear his response to the big Vanderbilt win over Alabama. Oh. Boom. Let's go. Let me give my response instead. Yeah. I wasn't able to watch it because

loser gets to go first because I was doing on this poster. Yeah. But you know what? Um I can't believe that happened. That is the most bizarre thing that's ever happened in sports not ever But i'm kind of happy i'll be honest with you. I I love alabama. I want them to win I want them to win every national championship But if somebody's gonna beat them, why not be a team that's never really won anything? And the commodoresores, baby. And I live here.

Yeah. So it's exciting. And the game was probably fixed, right? I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I don't know why you would fix it to have Vanderbilt win. Exactly. Sometimes I see, you know what I mean?

Wait, is he a Vanderbilt fan? I don't know. Am I? Yeah. Yeah, I predicted it. Well. Well, that wouldn't even be a real prediction though, unless you had the numbers.

Oh, you did predict it. Yeah. I feel like if you predicted it, it was sarcasm. No, because I, no, I didn't think we would win, but here's the thing. How do you beat, I just think Alabama, they beat Georgia and they're just wore out. And then they came in and Vanderbilt is their biggest game of their year.

And they came out hard. They still should have lost, but I'm pumped. I'm excited. Fabia. Yeah, they got some in. I tweeted that because I what I didn't really think any would win. But like you said, they this huge win over Georgia. Everybody's talking about it all week. They're the new number one team in the country.

Vandy was off last week. Two weeks to get ready for him. But it was kind of like showing some signs. They were sort of like being kind of sex. They took Missouri to the overtake. It's exciting. Yeah. Vandy's better. Vanderbilt has a little bit of a team.

Yeah, it's exciting. Very exciting. So I talked to Nate today. He he issued a statement. Is this to the fans or to Dusty? No, this is to the fans. He doesn't care about Dusty. I like Alabama, but I don't try to be in people's face about it.

You know what I mean? Roll tide, but I don't try to. Nate said, if I rank my best three days of my entire life, Harper being born, the day I got married, but number one, hosting SNL in Vady beating Alabama would be obviously number one. That's fair, that's gotta be up there. It's a good day.

That's gotta be up there. Yeah. So everybody was asking, was he watching the game while he was getting ready for SNL? And he said he did have a little break in between rehearsal and the dress rehearsal. He was watching the game in his dressing room. They said, it's time for the dress rehearsal,

which is in front of a live audience. They do the whole show. Yeah. And then they do it again. Yeah. Okay. So it's not like it's just practice. And he's like, give me a minute.

He like, hang on a second. Cause this game's about to. That's a second time hosting. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. That's the, I know the, I know the charts of the first one. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm back two months later move. Yeah. One sec. Yeah. Nate Barghese does that. And also I know who does it. The Rock. Those are the two people that can probably make that move.

I respect it. So he held up SNL. I don't think he really held it up, but he was like, hang on a second. I want to process this win. Yeah. So interesting. I said, I, I, we're me and Derek's troop. This is his joke, not mine. We were watching the game and I go, man, I live in Nashville. I don't even know any Vanderbilt. I don't know who to text. I don't know what he goes. Yeah. That's cause you have to have a debilitating disease to meet one. Meaning like they're all doctors. You didn't know Nate, Nate and I were maybe fans? No, graduates. I know Nate is a fan. Keith Oberstapp.

Okay. Do you know Keith? And we live here. That's what I'm saying. Do you know any? No. I don't know a lot of people that went to college. I don't know a lot of people that went to college.

It was like, let's go. I know more people at UT than I do at Vanderbilt. It's my own city. Yeah. Yeah. Most people that go to Vanderbilt did not grow up here. I don't even know where the quad is over there. Yeah. I don't know either. I know it's off west. I know they, I feel like you've been looking for it. They ripped down the field goal and carried it to Broadway. Where is this thing? And I know that takes a long time. Yeah. And then I read that they were, they had to, they got a hundred thousand dollar fine that they a long time. Yeah. And then I read that they were they had to they got a hundred

thousand dollar fine that they had to pay to Alabama because they ripped the field goal down. Apparently so. What kind of rule is that? Well, they got to pay it to Alabama. Yeah, it's like they put the players. Let's find people for ripping down the field goal. If it doesn't make sense. When Vanderbilt beats Alabama, the ranked number,

I bet Vanderbilt's never beaten a team ranked number one. They haven't. And so it's like, yeah, you, the fine goes away. There needs to be a board. Yeah. They'll be like, all right, if you're the 15th team beating the 12th team, you don't, that's it. You don't rip that down.

Yeah. No, no, no, no. But if you never have beaten a number one team in your conference, if you're the joke of the sec and you beat number one ranked Alabama, you get to rip the field goal down. Yeah. Yeah. And then I think they had some trouble too.

It wasn't a, they, yeah. Oh, I need to help. But they have a couple cranes right there. Yeah. I mean, we're always ready with a lift. But I think it's like, it's, I mean, my, my buddy Easton from our podcast, he said he went with them. He walked.

Didn't help. And it was like, no, it didn't help. It was two miles. Yeah, it's so far. Carrying a goalpost. You gotta think like after mile one, you're like, I kinda wish I wasn't in on this. But once you start to see Broadway,

then the energy comes back. Once he goes over the hill. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're like, I'm gonna sit this out, get a bird scooter and go up and then I'm gonna jump back in. Yeah, see, I don't know any, I'm gonna sit this out, get a bird scooter and go up and then I'm gonna jump back in. Yeah, see, I don't know any, like you said, doctors, venerable grads to go. But if I were like, who's somebody that would know a guy

who probably was in that melee, I'd say somebody on John Chris podcast. Yeah, no they weren't. Your posse is gonna be the type that's gonna be out there with their shirt off. I was looking for you down there. It was that guy in Theo for some reason. He was there.

He was on the sidelines. I saw Theo on the sidelines. He's everywhere. The guy's everywhere. He's doing a lot of side quests these days. His jelly roll impression of Jelly Roll winning an award. So good. I haven't seen it. This is not a watch clips podcast. No, no. I'm old enough to remember the last time Vanderbilt beat Alabama, which was 40 years ago, 1984. And we were four and oh and ranked 19th. And then the next week we played Tulane and everybody said, oh man, are you gonna just be like

not ready for them? Cause Tulane was, I guess. Tulane's big at the time. No, no, no. There were nothing at the time. Two lanes big at the time. No, no, no. There were nothing at the time. Oh, okay. There were nothing at the time. So Vanderbilt was like,

ah, we're not gonna overlook them. Sure enough, the next week they lost. So they were in leather helmets back then, probably. 1984? Yeah, that was when I was born. No helmets maybe. Yeah. You know, they say that professional sports

are, is our socialist in a way, because the worst team, you know, gets the best picks. Cause they want to. Oh, you just heard that on the radio. No, I didn't, I did. Yeah. I'm not saying that. Jared Stillman.

Yeah, that's it. I'm, yeah. He said, and he said all of everyone except college football was like socialist. If you're the worst NBA team, you get the best odds of getting the worst player because they want everyone to be 500. So it's competitive.

Vanderbilt has never been competitive in the SEC. And because of the NIL, now it's become... We did have a... Yeah, now that you can buy players, everybody can be good. That's how it should be, right? Well, I guess, but it does kind of ruin the college football was the best and now it's kind of. See Nick

Saban over here. Now it's kind of, well, yeah, I mean, Nick Saban, those were the glory days of college football. Vanderbilt under James Franklin. We got some good years though. I forgot about that. Yeah. Yeah. I want people to make money, but it's like, uh, I don't think this is the right system. I don't have the right system. I don't think this is it. I agree. But it's like, cause you got people, I would imagine you got people on a team making tons of money and then somebody making no money, right? Zero dollars. So it's like, I don't know. That's not the way. But what do you think if let let's say, the Vanderbilt

cross-country team, like if us three were like, we're going to put him to the top, right? We're going to get the best cross-country kid. Yeah. How much is he? I like that. Honestly, how much is he? Let's pull a thing together.

They'll be like, this is our team. And sponsor cross-country. Or like something, like cricket or something. You know, there was somebody. Water polo. I'm already into cross-country now. All right, cross-country. When this first started like two years ago,

someone emailed the podcast and said, she was like a cross-country runner or something. And she said, would you sponsor me? When Nate Land sponsored me at NIL. And he said no. And we never responded. But. Oh, did I?

I wasn't on the podcast that day. No, no. Well, what do we need from them in return for the money? They gotta wear our jersey? Yeah, they gotta wear all our specials. You know what I mean? Oh yeah, yeah. We'll come out to practice.

Yeah. We'll do, we'll hype them up. Well, we need, we gotta go scout. I don't think, I don't think me and you should be going to high schools and checking out who the, we need some more company to back us. We need somebody that knows about running. Yeah.

It's just based on times, whoever's the fastest. And then we gotta, hey, how much, I mean, honestly, 10,000. You trying to go to college? We do that. Yeah. No, we gotta,000. You trying to go to college? We do that. Yeah. No, we got to, yeah. I mean, if a water polo or something like that, we got, I don't know how we would even find them.

Yeah. But also- Tough to wear stuff in the pool like that. Yeah. And the best play, oh yeah, how would we sponsor them? And the best players does not, everybody watching these Vanderbilt players in the bigger schools go, we're gonna poach them.

Yeah. Right? You would think. Yeah. For more money. That one kid left in the middle of the season from UNLV. Yep. He left in the middle of the season because he's not getting enough money. It's quarterback.

And he said they didn't honor this deal. He left, right? Left the table. You gotta like that. If you don't honor the deal, I'm out of here. Yeah. What's UNLV? University of Nevada, Las Vegas. That might be fun to I'm out of here. Yeah. What's UNLV? University of

Nevada Las Vegas. That might be fun to still be there. Yeah. If it's like a lame place you're like I'm gonna get out of here unless you're paying. Yeah. You gotta pay me. Yeah. And they were off to a great start. I mean I think they still are. Where'd he go? I can't go anywhere. Can he? I thought the transfer program. For the rest of the year? Can you go to another school this year? Oh, I don't know. Just jump in, pull right over. I don't know. Maybe go to Auburn.

Auburn could use it. Oh yeah, they could. They're not good. I don't even ever seen, like, have you ever been, like, to Broadway or like, I've never even seen a Vanderbilt graduate. Yeah, I didn't know they partied like that. No, I don't think they do, is what I'm saying.

It was a sober, the sober goal post rip down. Was it? It was the first in history. I don't think they go down to I'm saying. It was a sober, the sober goalpost rip down. Was it? I don't think they go down to Broadway that often. I think they hang out. Me neither. West End and. Coffee shops. 21st Avenue, that's their. I mean, but you see UT fans around. Like nonstop.

You see Titans fans around. The construction thing working on the airport has the Tennessee flag hanging off of it. Oh yeah great point. Yeah. We need to hear from some some Vanderbilt fans. You got one right here. No some of that follow the pod. What do you want to know? We want to know what their what their experience is. They've been... We want to know what I want a prediction from you now. How's the rest of the season look? And if you are now, I don't want to say, I think people that make sports predictions when they're wrong should receive ridicule to some

degree, just because they get to make these bold predictions. And then when they're wrong, there's I don't know, maybe ridicule is the wrong word, but it's like, just call it out. Just call it out and be like, you were wrong. And you just have to say you were wrong. That's on me. That's all I want. Next week, Vandy plays at Kentucky.

They're losing. I predict they lose. It's going to be tough because coming off of Alabama win. Yeah, and Kentucky's good. Yeah. It's like the weather guy. He should be like, hey, last week I was three for six. Yeah.

And then I'd be like, sounds good. I want to see a weather guy get fired once in a while. For the night, oh yeah. Like last week you said it was gonna rain all week, it was sunshine. That's it, yeah, you could be fired for that. Are you even reading the metrics right? Yeah, any other job, you're fired.

Yeah. If you're reading the stock market and you miss like that, you're gone. Yeah. You're gone. That's what I want, a competitive weatherman market. I like that, yeah. If you're wrong, same with sports gone. Yeah. You're gone. That's what I want. A competitive weatherman market. I like that. Yeah.

If you're wrong, same with sports takes. Yeah. Just have everybody should have like a rating. Yeah. At the beginning of the season, you make your predictions and whoever has the worst is fired. Has to. I like that.

Relegated down back to- And banned from sports media. Back to radio. For two years. Yeah. Now that's extreme. Yeah. He threw in the two years. Yeah. Now that's extreme. He threw in the two years. I wasn't ready. Can't work.

Can't weekend news anchors. Hmm. Weekday. I wouldn't say I wouldn't touch the weekend. Honestly, not at this point. What, what did they get? What did they, they don't get, they don't do predictions though. Huh? A news anchor. Depends. His girlfriend's. That's what he was saying. Yeah, okay. Yeah, she's on the weekend. Yeah. Weekend. I mean, I trust them 100%. Yeah, they they I don't think she's ever messed anything up. So. Alright,

so uh talking about weather. Hurricane Milton is coming through which prayers for everyone involved with that. That's a new one. Yup. Hurricane. Yeah, we never really talked about that one last week but that is so sad. It is so sad. Hurricane Helene. Yeah. But what happened IJKL? Was there four? H.

What are we on now? Maybe they just kind of come out during the, you know, they kind of, I don't know. I mean, honestly, I mean, for any, for any Katrinas that are alive, I mean, it was a tough, it was a tough season there for a little bit. Yeah, I mean that's if that's if your name's Helene I'm staying inside. Yeah, I mean I'm done. I think if your name's Helene you drop the e change it to Helen for you I have to yeah, I have to I just I switch it up. Yeah, your name's Helen. Yeah, it is always been Yeah, people have always said it wrong What are the biggest ones that you remember

in your lifetime? Well, Katrina. Hurricane Opal came through Opalaika. And we got some, I was living in a trailer. Yeah. We got a couple of trees down on our trailer. And so. Opal. Yes, that was a tough one.

I think they retire some names if it's really bad. Hugo is one they used to talk about. I was about to say the same thing. Hurricane Hugo. Hurricane Andrew, I remember. Hurricane Andrew, yeah. And then if they get to the uh, I mean it's gotta be the same board, the same board that's uh looking at the uh he goes, how much damage? We gotta put you back in rotation. So yeah, I mean we can't, you didn't I mean, maybe that's why we're at Helene though. They're just Yeah, they're like, what other names are there? Yeah, that's I mean, what's the next one?

No, Milton's now so I don't know, do they need names? I don't think they need names. Well, it helps. I mean, identify it. Just like we're doing now the tornadoes on that names though, do they? No, and they should. If they're gonna give hurricanes names then tornadoes need names too. Well, there's a difference. Hurricanes, you know about a week ahead of time

and then they last for tornadoes burn up just like this. What about a tsunami? They don't have names. Not that I'm aware of. They just came and caused destruction. They happen immediately. You have to plan for them. What about an earthquake?

We could go ahead and pre-name them, I guess. I say let's get into naming minor rainstorms. You should post, it should be a post. If it was big enough, it should have a post experience name. Yeah. Yeah. Like we didn't know their name, you know, when they first popped up, but now we do. What have they got? The earthquake of 97?

That's too much. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hurricane Ivan. Remember that one? Yeah. I do remember that. Yeah.

I think that was not long ago. Hurricane, was it? Yeah. Katrina. Was that a hurricane? It was. Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Katrina. The real thing though, I think with that was that

the levee broke and then that was one of those. Yeah. Ernesto. Yeah. Was it Helena? broke and then that was yeah yeah yeah yeah I was a Helena I thought I was Huling Isaac Joyce Kirk Leslie all those I guess just came and went really fast Milton's the one now Nadine's next Nadine Oscar Patty Raphael are you hoping that if you're that named he'll put it's not bad hurricane dusty I don't you want it to that named Hill, but it's not bad. Hurricane Dusty? I don't know.

You want it to be like everybody remembers it? If it's Hurricane Dusty, I want it to not be involving water. I just want it to be a dust storm. Oh yeah, Hurricane Dusty. They wouldn't have that because it would be confusing. Look at the biggest hurricanes of the past 20, 40 years. You're a guest. I'm. Don't tell me what to look at. You're right. This is lawless without Nate. It's lawless. You're right. I won't have it again.

And they alternate male, female. Do you know that? It's 2024. Like the names like Alberto, Barrel, Chris, Debbie. It's 2024. Like the names, like Alberto, Beryl, Chris, Debbie. It's gonna non-binary hurricane. I was gonna say that, but you missed it, dude. Dusty. It should be like Hurricane Pat. Yeah, yeah.

We don't know if it's male or female. We don't know. There is. There is. There is. Patty. Patty is a woman. Yeah. Yeah. Unless you're Irish. I wonder if others, honest honest. I wonder if other countries have this system. I don't know

They don't they call them typhoons in the other part of the I wonder if they have names That's gonna be one of that should be that should have been in a city. You want to tell us about Pesty? Yeah That should have been in Nate's cross in the Columbus River. So many papers. We have Nate. We name our hurricane. The Columbus River. Whatever. Whatever river do they cross? We have all been there.

I'm going to do the Philadelphia. We've all been there sitting in your house and then you see a huge bug. As you know, I used to work for a big pest control. I used to work for the big pest control, oh, I used to work for the big pest control companies. Let's just say it, not a huge fan of all those chemicals, but now I have Pesti. With summer coming to an end and the nights getting colder, spiders, ants, and other bugs are looking to find somewhere warm to nest.

With Pestis, you can make sure they don't choose your house. Pestis is a do-it-yourself pest control company on a mission to provide pro-grade pest control products at an affordable price so you don't have to spend your day waiting on the bug guy to show up. While other pest control companies charge hundreds of dollars and make a one-size-fits-all plan, Pestis makes a customized treatment plan for you based on your locations, bugs, and climate. Plus the specific chemicals are rotated so that bugs don't build up tolerances which makes it more effective over time. To me

the best part is Pesty is kid and pet friendly so you never have to worry about your pets or kids. This is why Pesty is possibly my favorite sponsor. I just used Pesty this week at my house. It's so easy to use and you feel so accomplished. It just takes 10 minutes to apply and comes with everything you need including a cool reusable electronic sprayer. We could all use that and Pesty offers 100% bug free guarantee or your money back. Seriously, they will refund you if you're not happy with Pesty offers 100% bug free guarantee or your money back. Seriously, they will refund you if you're not happy with Pesty.

Anyway, uh, hurricanes have names to help meteorologists and the public keep track of storms and reduce confusion when multiple storms. Oh, they do be coming at the same time. reduce confusion when multiple storms occur. Oh, they do be coming at the same time. Mm-hmm.

But does it really make any difference if you're like, this is Andrew coming here and the next one's Ian, and I don't mind if Andrew comes through, but not Ian. I just wanna know which name it is. This one went north, this one went south. They kind of, they do the same thing. They're all kind of doing the same thing cause of destruction.

But what if you got them mixed up, like, hey, you saw on the news that Hurricane Ian is not gonna hit you. And then someone says, hey, are you preparing for Ian? And he's like, no, it's not gonna hit me, but it was really Andrew. Well, that's the thing about this one is it went, it's so far inland, right?

Yeah. And they were like, we were like. Well, they were like, no, no warning. It's very sad. I thought they did have warning. A very, very short warning. All right. Like a few hours, I think.

If you. A few minutes even, maybe. If they said, and it's like a sunny day today, if they said, hey, this weekend, it's coming. I don't think I would leave. Would you? No, because I just wouldn't trust it so far that you're like, by the time it gets here, it would not be that powerful.

I would not. Asheville, North Carolina. I would, if they said, Hey, trust me. And the weather guy who has been untrustworthy. Yeah. If they said, Hey, you need to get bags of sand, surround your house and board up your windows, I would say I'm not doing that.

Yeah, because it just doesn't happen. Yeah. You're doing it for Tennessee. For Nashville. Yes, yeah. I would be like, no way. Now though I would, and same way that in 2020 when we had the tornado. I've been involved in so much tornado talk and scares

my whole life that I was not even worried. I would see tornado warning. I was like, who cares? And then it came through very close to my house. And I'm like, now I'm pretty paranoid. But those, if you like, it could be one street gone, the other street perfect. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Yeah. So they can't, that's they can't predict those. You got to leave. They go, I don't know. Yeah. Maybe stay. Yeah. Gosh. I think weathermen do a wonderful job. Yeah. And that's what we were going to get to that. I think it's

amazing that they can even tell you that a possible storm were going to get to that. I think it's amazing that they can even tell you that a possible storm's coming days ahead of time. That's pretty unbelievable. Shout out all the weathermen over at WSMV. OK. If there were just one and he was like, now I can tell this is what's going to happen, then I would be impressed.

But they have a lot of technology. And they're just looking at numbers and things. And then they go, yeah, this is what's gonna happen. Then I would be impressed. But they have a lot of technology and they're just looking at numbers and things and then they go, yeah, this is what's gonna happen. And then it gets delivered to them and then they stand in front of a green screen and do like this a lot. And I'm not saying their job's easy. Well, I think the same thing happened with them

is the same thing that happened with, they used to do on TV and the radio, they would do like traffic. Right. So before, hey, traffic, I-25 is backed up, take 40, take the certain. Now everything they are looking at, we have. Oh, yeah. Right. Yeah.

We go, I, well, if you're doing traffic, I am doing, and I'm not going to watch TV, get in my car and then go find like, I'm going to, it's, it'll tell you, get off this exit now. Yeah. So that now we all have the the the information is that with the weathers like that whatever they have we have right and we have uh you know in nashville we have nashville severe weather x on twitter yeah and that's what i always go to the uh world meteor meteorological Organization is responsible for naming hurricanes and other tropical cyclones. I said typhoons. Hey, I'd like, you know, I know we got, we jumped right into this.

I'd like to, I would like to talk about where we were this week though. Okay, well we'll move on. I was just finishing this one last thought. Okay, I'm not telling, I'm not trying to run the podcast. Okay. Well, you have more of a right than John does, but. But I just want to, I do want to talk, I had a fun time and I want to talk about it. Well, all right.

I said one thing I don't want to. We'll move on from hurricanes. I got one more thing on hurricanes. I'm just joking. I'm just joking. Go. But as we're recording this, Milton has not hit yet. So prayers for all those that are in the line because it's a category five. My girlfriend's grandpa is named Milton. I have a friend named Milton. Tough week for Milton's.

Okay. Did you guys watch Nate on SNL? Of course. Yeah, I did. No. You hadn't had a chance? No, I was doing shows. I did try to find it later that night.

Couldn't find it. But you knew he was doing it. I did know he was doing it and I will watch it. It's very exciting Unbelievable. I thought he did great again to me was better than the first one and I thought the first one was great I thought that's awesome. He seemed more comfortable Sketches were funny that first sketch was unbelievable. I thought that I thought the waterslide sketch was great, too Yeah, I thought that was it even great too. You know one of those jokes? They're like somebody sets it up and you're a comedian. You go, dang it. And you

don't even know what the punch lines are. But you go, that's a great, that's like what if that was like this? And you go, gosh, that's an unbelievable thing. That's what I thought about that water slide bit. What was the wardrobe you were talking about? Well, I mean, don't put me on the spot. Yeah, I'm just saying that's when you know. That's when you know someone. That's when you know they got money. I don't know what you're talking about.

When they see the wardrobe, the like post show. Yeah, the post show. Oh, yeah, I guess. And then all the on his on his Instagram. Oh, like afterwards. I saw he had the again, the flower pattern. He likes those wild wild. That's a flex, again the flower pattern. He likes those wild wild That's a flex, you know, yeah, he's got I respect it like it's Lauren Michaels in a suit

Yeah, Jim Gaffigan Dana Carvey. Everyone's dressed kind of normal and Nate's got he's got some stuff going on Well, I think that's where you like, you know Middle-class people when they get when they come everybody starts, we all started with no money. Did you start with no money? No, I always had money. Okay, did you start with no money? Yeah. So did I, okay, yeah.

I'm joking, I'm joking. I still don't have any money. What is the first, the first place you go is, is like a, like a four wheeler. Like, like middle class comes into money. I have a four wheeler, like, like middle class comes into money. I have a four wheeler. Yeah. Jacket right there.

Yeah. Yeah. You do. Yeah. Yeah. That's, and I think, but Nate's not that kind of guy. Yeah. Nate's going to go close.

Yeah. Yeah. When you, when you first start being like, Oh, what's up? I can. All right. I didn't go like a, you know, I didn't go a high class four wheeler, but I just get- You just got a regular four wheeler. Yeah, I got a good one though.

It's four wheeled off, I mean. Do you? Yeah. And what do you do with it? You live in a neighborhood. Well, you know, I got some land, you know, so I go ride around out there. You do? Yeah.

Yeah, maybe a jet ski, if you had a jet ski. I never been a, I like swimming, but I'm not a boat, jet ski guy. I'm Maybe a jet ski. If you had a jet ski. I'm not, I've never been a, I like swimming, but I'm not a boat jet ski guy. I'm not a skier. Those are all people with money activities, I think. I just know, I'm just a swimmer. No, comes, but started with no money comes into, not like generational money, but like comes into like a, oh, that's four wheelers first.

Yeah. A four wheeler, like a fishing boat. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe a car. Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't mind some kind of like pontoon boat that it didn't require a lot going on,

but you could just go out. Yeah. Sit and hang out, get some chairs, do a little fishing. Oh yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't mind that. That's where it starts. Land with a cabin. Yeah.

But see Nate's not for that. Nate's not for that. Nate's not gonna have any of that stuff. But you guys all golf, and I feel like that's what your time is taken up by golf. You don't get to ride four-wheelers because you're golfing a lot. Yeah.

Well, if there was like, if I remember- They had four-wheelers that are golf carts, I might be a little more interested in it. Oh yeah. Yeah, because if anything requires like Nate to like, we know Nate to like operate it. It's not going to go well. Yeah. Is that fair to say? And I know this is his podcast. Like, whose side is everybody on? Probably his. No, I think that there's a four wheeler or like his own comedy. I think that's a fair

assessment to say he might need someone to run through how to run a four-wheeler. He's like, I got a cabin up in the mountains that has limited accessibility. I'd be like, who's going to help you with it? Yes. Yeah. Before we get to this weekend, let me share some NateLand news. All right, Nate's CBS Christmas Variety Show at the Opry is November 21st.

I I watched some of your special the other day on YouTube. Very funny. Yeah.

Why? I don't know. I was just sitting around. It came up and I go, you know what? I'll watch some of this. Let's see what this guy's up to. I don't watch a lot of comedy, but I was just on my phone and I watched it.

That's very kind of you, brother. Yeah, this is great. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to think of what comedy I watch. I don't really, I watch, you know, I'm on TikTok and it'll be like, for me, it'll be, you know, oh, a standup clip, a doomsday clip, you know,

maybe a religious clip and then back to comedy. And it's a- You didn't specify which religion, interesting. I could get sad, I could get upset and I could laugh. Oh, and you know, two or three minutes. Yeah, I wish, I wish the, you know, like if you ever had somebody come to your show, or that's like never been to a comedy show,

and they're like, they come back after, they're somebody's family or cousin, they go, I never been to a comedy show. That was, I wish I had that. Oh, I mean, they were like, Oh, they were so, yeah. I never seen this before. How did y'all, is that, did y'all just make that?

How does that even, they have so many questions about it. Cause they're like, this is, I've laughed for two hours. How did y'all do that? What always happened, I always feel bad for people that have come to my show first. Cause I always think after this guys, I mean, Oh hell, oh yeah. Yeah, it's like, this was really good.

And what are you gonna do now though? That's right. Where are you going from here? Yeah. Well, if you're, I always say for like the comedy club or like any of these comics that we just listed, like it used to be when it was Jerry Seinfeld or Jay Leno, you just like go to the comedy club.

Like Friday night, we're gonna go to dinner, then go to the comedy club. Cause it was for everyone. Right. I live two blocks from here. Sometimes I just walked down and I go, I don't even know what this is. Yeah.

Because it's not for me. It's either a podcast. Or even like with me, I don't, you know, my shows are not squeaky clean, but I like it relatively clean. And I'll have comics that are not necessarily clean open for me and they'll really clean it up. Yeah.

And then I see them somewhere else and I'm like, geez, I had no idea this is the kind of comedy you're doing now. Oh, yeah, whoa, yeah. Oh, they cleaned it up for you. For me, yeah. And then you pop into their show. Yeah, and I'm like, whoa, dude.

If you- I feel bad nitpicking you on that one joke now. Oh. You did a lot of work. You're doing great. Yeah. You're doing great. I wonder who is the great, I mean, I think Bob Saget was

like everybody knew him from Full House. Oh, yeah. And they were like on the warnings. They were like, this is not Full House. Yeah, they were like, just to be clear locally, he lives in Chicago now, but John Hickok was that guy for me. Oh, yeah. He did my show and he it was pretty clean. Oh, he was living in Denver. Oh, he used to live in Denver. He used to live here. Did he? Yeah.

Okay. Oh, I know who you're talking about. Yeah. And he had a joke and I was like, well, that was a little dirty for my show. And then I saw him on another show and I was like, whoa. I was like, thanks for really cleaning it up. Oh, good for him.

Yeah. Yeah. John's very funny though. I never say anything. I just let the, I go, you can say whatever you want. The crowd's probably not gonna like it. Yeah. John's very funny though. I never say anything. I just let the, I go, you can say whatever you want. The crowds probably not gonna like it. Yeah. And then you're not gonna probably do well.

Like do whatever you want. Yeah. Well, I like to, you know, for me, it's like, you know, people are coming. I feel like they're expecting a certain, like I don't want it to be, like I like to talk about certain things. Yeah.

But I feel like they're expecting, you know, a relatively- For the most part. Mild show. Yeah. And I feel like they're expecting, you know, a relatively mild show. And I don't wanna blow their minds out there, you know? Most people I think can handle it, but you know, somebody brings their aunt to a show and they're like, oh, I've seen this guy. And then the next thing you know,

I can't even do an example of some of the things. I might have an example. Because I was discussing this with another comic because we were talking about like, if a lot of like Christian people come to the show, they said they're not okay with someone like rolling a blunt and like smoking weed, but they might be okay with a gummy.

Okay. Do you think that's true or no? Probably even too much for the podcast. They can use that example. Okay, all right, nevermind. Sorry, I'll cut it out. But I think- That's too much for this podcast.

But I agree with you. Yeah, they're very like, oh, it's more digestible. I agree with you. Yeah. Literally more digestible. Literally more digestible. Yeah, if you go, I don't know, I accidentally like, and then I picked up one of these gummies and ate it. And I, yeah, that'd be a little, we'd allow that. I speak on behalf of Christians. Yeah, that's cool with us.

Feels like medicine if you're taking it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. And it can be. Yes. It is very medicinal. And cut back into where we cut out that part right now. Well, do we want to talk about where we were this week? Yeah, I do want to talk about it. Yeah, go for it. First off, I had two shows. I went out with my friends that I started comedy with, Derek Humphrey, Vince Faber, Evan Burke, all people that I started doing comedy in Charleston with. We did it, the last tour the four of us did together,

10 years ago, and I've done shows with them. I saw that on your Instagram. But not all together with them so we went to Macon Georgia which I never been to Macon the show was a blast I had a lot of fun never been to Macon before show was a blast to go that chocolate shop there I didn't I went to a place called the Rookery and ate food and it was very good and then I did comedy and a friend of mine from Alabama came, one of my childhood friends.

We hung out at the Courtyard Marriott, had some cigars and it was a great time. And then I went to Charleston, South Carolina, where I lived for a long time. I did a show at the Gilliard Center, which I watched be remodeled when I lived there. And such a big, full circle moment. Nice.

And it just, yeah, really fun. A lot of my friends and old coworkers and things all came to the show. Even one of the, Victor Hyman, the son of Eli Hyman, came and brought me a Hyman's work shirt. I used to have one of these when I worked there. Was that a fishbone? It's a fishbone and it says Hymen's on it. But they came, brought me some, you know, some Cajun spices and some special

sauce and they brought me a work shirt thinking about going and picking up a shift. But it's nice. It's fun. Shout out. You know, I love Hymen's and they've been a big supporter of mine. If not for Hymen's, what would I even done while I was trying to become a comedian? So I just wanted to talk about that. It was really great, really fun. That's awesome. That picture you posted of your friends many years ago and then now that was great.

Yeah, just a real special night. And then I went to a cigar bar with a bunch of friends. We went to the cigar bar and this guy- Christians are cool with that by the way. Yes, there was two people in there and we roll up with like 15 people. I think we overwhelmed the guy. The guy was not very nice to us.

And then he would only let us open one tab and he would not let anybody pay. Only one person could pay. It's your show. It fell on me. Yeah, of course. And that's why you're complaining. And everything else was fine. I mean, people were coming and going and I was like,

well, I'll see you then. And, but it was, and then the guy came around in the end. In the end, he was very nice. The cigar shop. Yeah, and he said, he said, you guys saved my night. But I think we overwhelmed him a little bit. But it was like- I mean, if you're going to do a cigar bar with 15 people, what service do you have to provide

besides getting them a cigar? He made it harder than it needed to be. Yeah, I'll take this one. I'll take this one. When he's done, he'll take this one. They have the cutters and the lighters laying all over. He wanted to cut everybody's cigar and light everybody's cigar.

And it's like- I would need that. It's like, we appreciate it, but also let's just move it along, you know? Let's suspend the rules for a second. I got 15 people in there. Yeah. But it was great.

Great trip to Charleston. Just got back today. Had a great time. And oh, I also hung out with an old friend. He was my best friend for four years, but I've not seen him in like, I don't know, 12 years. And we hung out and he had some wild stories that I can't and won't talk about,

but it was fun to get caught up. I'll tell you that. I had nothing better than that. Yeah. It's a great tease. Yeah. Yeah, and you don't- I don't even know-

The Patreon version. Yeah, Yeah. And you don't... I don't even know. The Patreon version. Yeah. I don't even know if I'll talk about his stories on my own podcast, but maybe I will. Gosh. How expensive is 15 people at a car shop? Well...

This better be more than $1,000. It wasn't over $1,000. It was like $500. Okay. All right. That's still a lot though. It's like, yeah, I went in and I thought those cigar boxes were labeled inventory wise. And I go, how much is this?

I don't see any prices. He goes, oh, it's right there, $56. I go, okay, no, I don't want that. So I'm like skimping on the cigar. I'm like, and then turn around. Now people did give me some money though. So it wasn't, you know. Is it like wine? They had wine and beer.

Well, like, you know how wine is like, it's kind of all tastes the same, but this one's like a $1,700 bottle and tastes the same as the Yellowtail. Yeah, it's a little, I don't know, cigar, you know, wine people and cigar people would say. To me, it's like this, you can get, you don't want to go too cheap.

I feel like you don't want to go below $7 on a cigar. If you're going to a cigar bar, if you're going to a gas station. Well, you don't, you never too cheap. I feel like you don't want to go below $7 on a cigar. If you're going to a cigar bar, if you're going to a gas station. Well, you don't, you never want to smoke a cigar from the gas station. Well, there you go. Black and mild?

Well, I've done it, but you don't want it. You don't want to. I did it for a long time. I really liked them, but that was before I, you know. You know what I drink with cigars AG one. All right I don't think they I don't know if a G ones recommended that hey, I want goes with everything guys You know what though AG one helps you build a healthy morning routine, that's what I'm saying in just 60 seconds You can get your daily dose of vitamins minerals pre and probiotics

Is it? I mean. That chocolate shop in Macon's called Macon That Fudge. I was hoping you would ask me, oh, what's it called? Since you never did, I had to give my own punchline. I appreciate you doing that. That's a lot of chemistry for you to set that one up, just to know without him saying it. What's it called, Brian? Yeah. Where were you this weekend? Man, I was in Shipshawana, Indiana, home of the Amish. I bought a horse. Is that true? Yeah, I bought a horse. I went to the Amish.

Like a Amish like cart pulling horse? No, not for the fields. Okay, just for the fields. You have fields? No, I went to the, we were- Are you gonna plow? I, well, I mean, just- You know what would be funny if you cut your hair

like the Amish? I should do, that's a good idea know what would be funny if you cut your hair like the Amish. I should do that. That's a good idea. Maybe more than once. What if I. For no particular reason. I would bring it back. Now, you know how if you're like you're in the city and you're not doing anything and the guy goes, hey, you want to go to the I would say 99 times out of 100.

If they say we live here and this is unbelievable. Do you want to go to the, I would say 99 times out of 100, if they say we live here and this is unbelievable, do you wanna go to it? I would say, yeah. Do you go to stuff on the road? Oh no. You never go to anything. No, no, I'm like. Restaurant, nothing.

No, I'll go to a restaurant sometimes. Hey, do you wanna see the waterfall that comes out of the, you don't wanna go to anything. I go, how far is it? I go to everything. And if they're like, you can walk out of your hotel, couple of blocks, I'll go see it. But if it involves me getting in the car

and going over 30 minutes with somebody, nah, cause I'm like, I don't know if you'll bring me back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I go to, wherever we are, we're like in Lima. Yeah. You're like, you want to go to the first, yeah, the guy that invented the museum, that invented the pistol or something like that. Yeah.

I'm go, I'll go. I like zoom shows. You know what I mean? They said, do you want to go to the Amish livestock auction? I would go to that. You would go to that. Yeah. Where's my, where's my jacket?

I would be at that. Yeah. So we're all sitting there all Amish. They're all there bringing these horses through. You would go to that. Yeah, where's my jacket? I would be at that. So we're all sitting there all Amish. They're all there bringing these horses through. You're making a video. Yeah, it was me making a video. Yeah, I was making a video. And well, they go in there, everybody's like,

how much do you think a horse, like I thought like Secretariat was like 10 million. I think the racing horses are like that. But I think- And how much is a regular, if you do like, I need a horse for my daughter to ride. I would think a thousand dollars. Really? I would think more than that.

A horse? My dad buys some horses for my younger sister. I mean, I always say that I feel like he's getting like yard sale horses, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, these aren't the ones. Yeah. Yeah, well, everybody, I, I found out after I bought it that there's a lot of more,

there's a lot more things you have to do to keep it going. I don't understand. Like you got to like food and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You got to like, he's like, check its gums. I go check its gums. To see what kind of aging it has. It's like the rings on the tree stump. I got no idea. And then they were like, and then I posted it. I was like, I bought this horse for $695. That's a great deal. Thank you, dude. It's an unbelievable horse.

Yeah. And then everybody in the comments is like, look at the hooves, dude. I go, no wonder everyone else in there was like, no. And I was like, I go, it's kind of cool haircut. They're like, I'll get that. They were like, there's a new guy at the auction. Bring, bring the old horse around.

Every time there's someone from out of town, you go, where are you from? California? That's what he said. That's the auctioneer said. Go get glue stick. Bring it, bring the, bring the impressive one. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, you can go back. Apparently I found out that you, so like you can't, there's no, there's no like car facts for a horse. You don't, they can't say what their trauma is. So they, if like you buy a horse and then it turns out to be not good, you can bring it back to the auction. Cause you're like, oh, this one had like a,

they couldn't, it wouldn't plow or something. What are you going to do with the horse now? Where's the horse now? It's in, it's still in ship Shihuan. Okay. We're finally getting a home. So the guy bid against, we're like, bye bye. I was like, I couldn't really understand

what he was saying, but I knew, I was like, how much is it? He's like, about 695, I'll take it. And then I paid for it. And then they were like, well, what do you want to do with that? I was like, I can is it? He's like, well, 6.95, I'll take it. And then I paid for it. And then they were like, well, what do you wanna do with that? I was like, I can't take it back to Nashville, obviously, but I wanted to donate or give it to somebody in Shipshawana, cause I go there. You could use a horse.

I go there every other, yeah. So I think the horse is gonna be on a farm. It's for plowing. So what I guess I really wanna say to listeners is like whenever you eat, you know, vegetables or foods that have come from a farm, just. Thank John. Yeah, I mean, and again, I don't really want to say to listeners is like whenever you eat, you know Vegetables or stay, you know foods that have come from a farm just thank John. Yeah I mean and again, I don't want to you know, bring it up or brag or anything But like just when you enjoy, you know stuff from the farmers just think about us

next time you eat some Amish butter know that John plowed the field that the oats grew and that the cows a that they grazed on. Yeah. Yeah. It's good looking. Good looking horses. Horses that eat the oats. Ronald is his name. Yeah. Cows are eating soybeans and corn now. You just made fun of Nate for having money and then not knowing what to do with something he buys. Yeah, that's a good point. I didn't think about that. But I horse. I like this though. This is for function. This is for function. It's not a horse and you gave it to a farmer to

plow their field. I think it's a good, I think it's good. I'm gonna show you this horse. I like it. Yeah, that's kind of, it's big too. Yeah. And also that's not a criteria you should buy one on. This one's big. That's the, I think you have to do it based on, uh, you know, what kind of situation it's, it's a, it's a good whole. Yeah, look at that. That's a good horse. You got a you got a blonde horse. Look at that. That's also not the descriptive. Yeah, that's what's blonde. I think that's why they sold it to you. They thought he's from California. He'll like a blonde horse. Well, I was Friday night. I was in Knoxville, Tennessee. Love Knoxville at Alley

Ray's Gastropub. A lot of folks come out and we had a great time. Good food. Do you know that all the people, you always say a lot of folks came and I guess you're saying they're from Nate Land, but what about Dry Bar people? What if they're coming and you don't know that and you're only giving credit to the people that listen to podcast. Or from your own Instagram. Yeah. And you post videos. Well, no and no. I mean, I don't know for sure, except when I sell merch after the show, everyone that comes up to me says,

"'We love you on Nate Land' or, "'We've seen you on Nate Land.'" Nobody says, I've seen your dry bar or your Instagram videos. I was at New Material Monday and I said it drive up You never heard that drive up drive up to wherever the show was No, oh Where do they see you from? Well, you know I have a Netflix special say they that mostly I don't like the tone you said that well

I mean yeah, well you just go where they see you from. And, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

you know, where do they see you from, buddy? Oh, so I messed it up. I messed it up. No, I didn't think I had a tone, but my wife also thinks I have a tone. And, uh, uh,

so I don't know how to speak to people. Yeah, we've messed that whole exchange up. But, uh, yeah, you know, and then I, They say Netflix. And then I, and then I, this podcast. Yeah. And then I also, you know, I've been working, TikTok was where people were saying for a long time. Yeah, same, same, same.

So that sort of stuff. I feel like it's a real combination of things. Yeah. I've been on, you know, a lot of random podcasts. I saw you from whatever and you go, yeah. I never say that that wasn't me. It's no matter what. I get a lot of the Opry.

Do you? Yeah. Oh yeah, some, yeah. Yeah, because people come into town to see the Opry. Yeah, and then when you come to their town, they go, yeah. I do get that. I get a lot of the Opry. I got a corporate gig off a guy listening to the Opry.

Really? Yeah. Wow. And he hired me twice. You go to the Opry too. Yep. Yeah. So that was Friday night. Last night I did Hot Fudge Sunday here at the lab. How was that? Explain to everyone what that is. It's an urban show. There's I think six black comics and me. I thought it was called Chocolate Sunday. I always felt like you did well in that setting.

Well, you are correct. I still do. I can't really repeat. It would sound very racist just tell two white guys at table, but in front of a black audience, they're laughing. You know, it's pretty funny. I always thought you did well. I believe you 100%.

Yeah. I was on there with, well, Belly Button hosted. Yeah. A lot of people thought that was a nickname for me. Um, it could be. Yeah. Um, but I don't want to take it from Smurf TV. Okay. I know belly button. I don't know Smurf TV. I didn't know anybody said belly button. Smurf TV. Uh, I can't remember the rest of them. Anyway. It's gonna make something up. Did you have breakfast on the poster?

Brian breakfast baits? No. You should start doing that. I think you should use breakfast on your posters. You gotta start taking some of my marketing techniques. That's the difference. What was your opener? Yeah, here we go. Here we go.

He's almost saying you gotta be there. No, no, no. You came out and you go... He said you did it. Oh, I didn't know. I think I'm on the wrong show. I did say that. I come out very scared. I say, when Zadies asked me to do Hot Fudge Sunday, I thought, sure.

I like ice cream. Yeah. There you go. And, uh, you know, and then there was one white family or not white couple. That's my cousin. They thought it was ice cream too. No, I was like, it's me and you buddy. Something happens.

Classic. You know? Yeah. I did, uh, I did a Bill Bellamy show on time at the Denver improv and I was, it was a hundred percent black. And I said, I want to be up here for five minutes. I got to get back to being a waiter at the Toby Keith bar because it was next door. And that, that was all I needed. And then everybody was cool with it.

Yeah. Yeah. But then the next time, so I did, I went out and I did, I was like with it. Yeah. Yeah. But then the next time, so I did, I went out and I did, I was like very, very nervous. And I said something like, I was like, hey, this isn't my demographic either. So, and then I was very like nervous and they, I think they like either appreciated or respected it, I don't know.

But then the second show, I got confident and I was like, oh yeah. And I got. That'll get you. Yeah got that'll get you. I Was like what oh they're like no That's not how this works that's not how this works, yeah, yeah Well, anyway, it was a fun time and they asked you back No, that's too early.

Yeah. You want to get into these comments? Yeah. Comments come from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Apple podcast reviews and Nate land at natebargetzi.com. Did you want to read them? Dusty? Yeah, I'll read some. Let's see if I start collapsing midway, though, I'll have you take a look. All right. Bride goss is John Christ only allowed when Dusty is absent? I assume you picked that one just cause John,

we are here together. Cause we never been on the podcast. We haven't. Yeah. How's our chemistry? Well, you know, everyone asks about why you snubbed Dusty from the birthday party roast. Oh yeah.

We made a big deal about it. Oh yeah, we never discussed that. Yeah, so why did you? Is this an intervention? That's right. That's right, you're in the middle. An hour in. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We never discussed that. Yeah. So why did you? Is this an intervention? That's why you're in the middle. An hour in. John, what do you have against Dusty? Okay. What's the surprise party?

I don't know. I got invites. Oh, you handpicked. I surprise party. I don't know. I got invites. Now, this is what happened. They talked to me about it. They say I've turned down many roasts. And they said this is a roast. They said Dusty doesn't like roast. That's what I that was the story I heard. That is what

happened. But then why do they not invite you? That's what I'm saying. No, that wasn't invited on the show because I hate roasts. But they could invite me to the party. Yes, a lot of people that were there that weren't on the road. And I think, you know, I don't know your girlfriend, fiance, wife very well. And so, so, so there's no reason why she should be like, oh, I know this guy, he's got to come. Other than the fact that she invited the other three members of the podcast that I do.

And I'd never met her before. So I knew this guy. Well, they know that Brian's into roast. Yes. Brian is very good at roast. Yes. Brian's in that. Brian is a love language. Very good at roast. Especially when it's John. Yeah.

He does that. What he's like, I already have this. Yeah. I already have this roast written. Just dusted. I had had a party, I think earlier in the year that I invited you to. Yeah. Yeah.

To roast you. Yeah. But. Oh yeah. I did come to that. Yeah. For your special. Yeah.

I was thinking that one. Very good. I was thinking that one at your house. Yeah. No, Oh yeah, I did come to that. Yeah, for your special. Yeah. I was thinking that one. You were very good. I was thinking that one at your house. Yeah, no, you came to that one too. But. What was that? Just your birthday party.

I think it was my 40th birthday. Yeah. Oh, I made the jokes about that you, what was it? A text thread. From like years ago. Yeah. Years ago.

Yeah. I read it. Yeah. It was a great time. It was a good time. It was a good time a good time. Yeah. Is Bri, um, if they were a hurricane man or woman, Bri, I think honestly, I think man, I think it's short for Brian. Bri. Maybe it's Bri. Yeah. I think it'd be, it's B R Y. That's a girl. I

was take guy. I'm going guy. Interesting. That's a girl. I would say guy. I'm going guy. Interesting, I go girl. Somebody look it up. Where was this comment made? Plus the comment just seems like it's something that guy would say. Yeah.

Bri, I'm not calling another man Bri. All right, what about the next one? What about Casey Carlson? That could go either way too. Hurricane Casey, they've had that. Dusty's theory that vegetables don't exist checks out because asparagus is botanically classified as a grass.

TikTok is onto something. Yeah. I mean, I don't know if you have seen that, but I've talked about it two podcasts in a row, so I don't know that I'll rehash it, but. Vegetables don't exist. I got that premise. Yeah. Yeah.

Thank you, Casey. Well, like, what about- Don't say TikTok is onto something, Casey. They'll give the credit to premise. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you, Casey. Well, like what about- Don't say TikTok is onto something, Casey, though, give the credit to me. Yeah. What about the one, what's the one that you put peanut butter on? Celery?

Bananas? Celery. Oh yeah. That has to be, that's not one. That's nothing. No, I would think that's a stalk. That's grass. Yeah, that's just a stalk.

What is this one? Asparagus? Yeah. I can see that has a little bit. What is this one? Asparagus? Yeah. That has a little bit of class to it. But it's just like a grass, a thick grass. Like the stuff that you, remember when you get like a steak and mashed potatoes at a wedding and they put that stuff on there?

Yeah. What is that? That's grass. Yeah, like a wheat grass. You know what that stuff is with like the, that's not garnish? Maybe you're going to fancier places. Yeah. We don't have that at Gold Corral.

Can't hide money. Yeah. I said at a wedding, dude. Yeah. Matt LeCombe. Aw. Yeah. Dusty explained my thought process

for every text and email I send. That middle sentence can't have the exclamation point. It's too much. Keep up the good work, gentlemen. You know what I like about what this guy did here? He, he, uh, I know what you're saying. In the comment did first sentence, exclamation point, second sentence, no exclamation point, third sentence, exclamation point. This is an excellent joke writing here. This guy gets it. Matt LeCombe gets it. I like, because there's an E at the end,

I feel like you should pronounce the B. It's like, if they're both silenced, it's too many letters. You know what I mean? Yeah, way too much. It's probably Matt LeCombe, right? But why the E? It's like, why you gotta do two silent letters at the end?

Why not add four or five? It's Macombi. It's Macombi. Macombi. That's what I'm thinking. What'd you say you can't exclamation point a second? Yeah, it's like if you send a text and it's got three sentences in it,

everyone can't have an exclamation point. It's too excited. It's like all bold. Yeah. You're like, you speak like this. Like if I'm texting a girl, I don't mind going, hey, name, exclamation point. Tell me her name.

But if I'm texting a guy, I like, I don't even going, hey, name exclamation point. Tell me her name. But if I'm texting a guy, I like, I don't even like to go period. I like to go comma or not, no punctuation. Yeah, can't be too exciting. Cause a period seems like you're, hey, Brian. Hello, Brian. It seems like you're getting some. But why are you excited about talking to a girl?

I just feel like you, it's fun to be excited about talking about everyone. More flirty? Yeah. Not flirty, but you're just like, hey, June. And if you said that to a girl. I just feel like it's fun to be excited about talking about everyone. More flirty? Yeah. Not flirty, but you're just like, hey. And if you said that to a dude, you do that's too much. Yes.

What? Yeah. Hey, John. I don't, I never know when, like how far into the texting, like we just started texting today. How far in can I start putting out emojis? Depends on the emoji, I think. Okay, man to man. I'm not starting. I don't think day one I'm dropping an emoji in.

No. Too early. Unless you've done something. This is my rule. Unless you do something dumb and you want to give the facepalm emoji. That can be in there. I think that's okay. I just put in parentheses and I type face palm. Just so, it's very clear.

Antaphase. Yeah, emoji too early. It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I think you're, I never sent an emoji like to my agent. Yeah, I don't think I have either. Like to your lawyer? No, I can't send an emoji. It's a lot of periods though. I guess depending on what's going on. There's a lot of periods though.

Yeah. Your lawyer? Depending on what's going on. I can read the next one. Jen McBride. I think you might be surprised to learn how many non-Christians listen to you guys. Oh, here we go. Appreciate your humor, banter, and camaraderie.

And enjoy not having to hear about politics. Keep it up. And yes, Brian is underrated. His one-liners keep me from laughing even when the rest of you ignore it. Not from laughing. Yeah. Sorry.

I don't know. Slip of the tongue. Take it back. Take it back. Brian is underrated. His one liners keep me laughing even when the rest of you ignore him. Geez.

I thought that was going to be a clip. You ruined it. I'm sorry. You did that on purpose? No, I didn't. I messed up. I think subliminally you did. All right, I'll do it again.

No, you got it. There's no from. I don't know what happened. It's not like the from was above or there's no from. It's just what he was thinking. It's the way they did Brian is underrated dash. I got so confused. That's tricky.

Lacombe would not support that. You want me to take over reading? Well, there was, you should have, there was, it was like there was, I don't even know where this is. Oh yeah. And yes, comma, Brian is underrated dash. It's too much going on. Confused me. Lots going on.

It's their fault. It's Jen's fault. Of all times, for there to be too much going on. Brian is underrated. His one-liners keep me laughing, even when the rest of you ignore him. And then Aaron can edit that together so that that really works out.

The damage is done. I'm sorry about that. Oh man, that's perfect. I am sorry about that. What's the most? I didn't do it on purpose. Kevin Daly. Wait, what's the most in, because all you guys, I mean, me probably the most, not because

I'm more Christian, but like I talk about more, what's the most, like sometimes I get into like something Christian and my, all my audience is not Christian. So I gotta like explain the story a little bit so like if you don't know that, you still get the joke. I was like, we got Caleb out here and is allergic to milk and honey. You're like, everybody gets that, oh, he's like a Samson.

What does everybody know about the Bible? David and Goliath, Jesus, disciples, like in America. That's about as far as they go. I never do any jokes like that on stage. I do talk about it on my podcast, but so I don't. Never. I don't know, I never. Dustin doesn't like to share his face.

Anything about church or anything? Well, you know, I didn't really grow up to like in the church. I'm like more religious than my parents. Oh yeah. You know, I'm annoying to them about it. Yeah. You know? So they're like...

You never spoke about it. No, I talk about it on my podcast all the time. Nice impression of your parents. You do? Oh, yeah. Yeah. But I try to... You have a bunch. I have a few. Yeah, about saying this about certain denominations or something like that or no. Are you trying to steal my jokes? I tried to buy one a joke for me one time

You said I couldn't have it. I got one now about how dudes in the Bible will ever give each other nicknames Yeah, like Simon the leper. Yeah, so yeah Jesus healed him and they still call him Simon the leper He's probably like can we not call me Simon the healed? I'm healed guys Sorry Leppy. I Imagine if you get your see but if you have leprosy. But if you again, never people are never quite comfortable with you. Yeah. Even if you I'm cured. Yeah. Yeah. I did the

Bible. They don't have blood tests that he's like, I'm cured. You're like, yeah, you got no symptoms right now. Yeah. I don't have it. Yeah. Sure. Alright. I did a dusty podcast a few weeks back and we, it was on the Bible and we didn't talk about this dusty. And before I left Ruth, my wife said, you know, you aren't going to get anything too serious. Are you? And I'm like, no, I just got some fun Bible facts here. Then I get to dusty's house and I said, I don't know what you want to, you know, can you take two days? He's like, nah, not me. There ain't

any up here judging people in their salvation. We both agreed that three minutes in the podcast. Dusty's like, Brian, I know you agree with me that Jesus is the only way to have it. Oh, gosh. Anyway, Jesus drank AG one. Interesting. I also noticed, Dusty, you pointed it out with McComb, but four of these first five people don't need that last letter in their name. Interesting. All of them.

You haven't read the fifth one, I don't guess. I don't know what you mean, no, I guess. Well, like Jen McBride, she doesn't need that E. Well, that'd be Jen McBrid. McBrid. McBrid. Like a McRib. Okay. Read the one from Kevin Dale. Kevin Daley. I mean, I got a thing with silent letters. Yeah, because you still have to see. Oh, let me tell you, before you get into that, let me tell you about this. Better Help.

Oh, there you still have to see. Oh, let me tell you before you get into that, let me tell you about this. Uh, better help. Well, there you go. Do you ever feel like life? You couldn't be, do you ever feel like you couldn't be your full self, John? Like you were hiding behind a mask? I told the time Brian. October is the season for wearing mask and costumes, but some of us feel like we wear a mask and hide more often than we want to. Therapy can help you learn to accept all parts of yourself so you can finally take off the mask.

Therapy is good for everyone. It's not just for people who have experienced major trauma. It's helpful for learning coping skills, how to set boundaries, and it empowers you to be the best version of yourself. I feel like you wrote me into a major trauma thing. Yeah, he looked at you. Well, just now says host ad lib. So, um, John, do you agree with this? Therapy is important? Very important. You're very important. Yeah. I think it's good to talk to somebody. You know, if you got nobody to talk to, talk to somebody. Exactly. And a lot of times your buddy, it's nice to talk to somebody. You know what I mean? If you got nobody to talk to, talk to somebody.

Exactly. And a lot of times your buddy, it's nice to talk to them, but they don't have good advice. That's right. My friend that I was just telling you about earlier, he was telling me about talking to his dad about some stuff he was going with. And his dad was like, I don't know, man.

Yep. And it's like, well, that's not helpful. Yeah. That's right. You're out of here. If you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It's entirely online, designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule. Just fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist and switch

therapists anytime for no additional charges. Take off the mask with BetterHelp. Visit BetterHelp.com slash Nate todayL-P dot com slash Nate. Boom. Alright. Okay. Kevin Daly. When it comes to being great at stand-up comedy, is storytelling more important than quick wit? Are there any comedians who are great on stage,

but not that quick or funny offstage? Or does being a great stand up comedian require both? I don't think it requires both. I don't either. I think you can be a really great storyteller. You can be really quick on stage and be very funny. I think if you have both, that's a real plus. Are people sometimes disappointed with you guys off stage

that meet you? No, I mean that meet you and like, I'll think your guys could just be on all the time and then you're not. I have had that because I, you know, sometimes I just, you know, I'm serious out here. Yeah. And, uh, but you know what? Like I had the show in Macon on Friday, right? And I, I got a set that I like to do. I got all my jokes. This is what I'm going to do. But the show is a little rowdy, right? People yelled out some things. I got to interact with. This is what I'm gonna do. But this show is a little rowdy, right? People yelled out some things.

I got to interact with them in a fun way. We created some great riffs. It's the best. It was a really fun show and it makes it a fun, unique show. So I think if you can do both, really great. But if you can't like, I don't know, there's really great storytellers

that probably were never doing crowd work. Yeah. And then we all know. And that's what quick wit is talking about. Crowd would write. Yeah. Just on this. If somebody yells, I was talking about conspiracy theories and somebody goes, yeah, I go, see, we found one. Yeah. And that was like hilarious.

And then I kind of went back to her. It was in Saginaw, Michigan on Sunday. We I went back to her like, see, I know this joke's for you. Or like a couple of times. That's what you're talking about. And this a unique experience. It will never happen again. It only happened in Saginaw. Have you ever been surprised though,

like you meet someone backstage for the first time, a comic. They're quiet, awkward, whatever. And you're like, golly, this guy. And then he goes out and just destroys. All the time. Well, I was surprised at first when that would happen. But yeah, like you say, all the time, you meet enough people like that to where you're like,

nah, I get it. And I think to me personally, I used to be the opposite. I used to try to be funny all the time. That's all I was trying to do. But I feel like when I got to do comedy enough. Professionally. Yeah, that I was like, I'm getting my outlet of laughs. I got enough for the day.

Now I can just be a normal person. Nah, well, dude, see, do you ever like, I still be trying to make people laugh? Well, yeah, like at like a gas station or like, I would still be trying to. Well, yeah, I mean, the gas station. Oh, me and my wife just chuckling about things. Yeah. Me and my wife always talk about how much I bomb at the grocery store. I always make a joke with a cashier.

They're like, no. Yeah. Yeah. But I am trying. I beat my girlfriend to the same when I bomb. Yeah. But sometimes I got it. Yeah.

But y'all are both, would you call yourself extroverts? No. I don't know. I think it depends. But I think I'm a bit extroverted. If you're out there at the gas station trying to make people laugh, I feel like that's just because I'm insecure. But I'm not.

Uh, let me see. I'll be trying to make people laugh all the time. Yeah. But like, like a professional, when somebody's like doing something professionally, I interrupt with their work, obviously. Yeah. It's probably not helpful to anyone. Well, like my wife is really bad at small talk, right? Like she'll write somebody will go a nice dress or whatever and she she doesn't know what to say. She lives in locks up. Yeah, she's lived in Toronto where you don't talk to strangers.

You know, on the other hand, I grew up in Alabama and I'm like, I'm ready to talk to anybody. I'm ready. I'm like that. I'm ready to, you know, strike up a conversation about the grass. And I know all the neighbors. I'm always talking to the men in the neighborhood about our grass. I got the worst grass amongst them all, but I love to compliment their grass. I'd be in the I'd be I think you've talked about this before. Surely I'd be into small talk. Yeah. In heavy. Yeah. Heavy. And it's small talk.

I got no in between. It's small talk. Then real deep or the podcast with the all two yesterday. Yeah. Heavy. And it, it, it, it's small talk. I got no in between. It's small talk. Then real deep. Or, or the podcast with the all two yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll be in the airport just chatting. Yeah. Just chatting. Gosh. No. Well, sometimes it depends on the day. Sometimes I'm very annoyed and I don't want anybody to talk to me. I would be funny in the comments to somebody if anyone has ever met us and we bombed privately or like we bombed personally. Yeah. But like on stage it was great but then he came to the meet and greet and it was very uncomfortable. Sometimes I don't think that would happen. Now people say that about me. They do? Yeah. What do they say? They're just like oh I think I don't know sometimes they just say oh he

was awkward. I don't like small talk that much and I'm kind of shy off stage so they would say that. Well I would say the opposite of like, has anyone ever, I think everyone, every comedian is their, the best version is the stage version. Oh yeah. So like, I would say some comics are like, can I meet him? I go, honestly, I would recommend you not. Yeah. Like you just think that of him and just like, What about Nate? No, I don't know. I know a lot of comics like that. him and just like. What about Nate? No. No. I mean, just say it. I don't know.

I know a lot of comics like that. Sometimes people. Probably me included. People invite me out and that's what I'll say to them. I go, nah, you just saw the most fun version of me. You don't want, yeah. And it's not gonna get more fun. Yeah.

We'll get to the bar and I'm in the corner not talking to anyone because it's loud and I'm sharing my voice. You don't want that. Yeah. You want the best, you want the, now I'll dip in and then exchange in public. But if I sat next to someone on a plane,

I would never talk to them. Never. Yeah. I like to, you know. But you'll chat it up to the airport. Oh yeah, just talking to everybody. Because it can be quick, you can move. You don't want to start a conversation.

You stand in waiting for your bag where you guys had to do, oh, golf clubs. Oh yeah, what you, you ever played, yeah, you ever played Augusta national? Just, yeah. I don't even make eye contact with people I'm sitting next to on a platform. Because if the conversation starts,

it's hard to shut it down. I was at an owl seat today, across the aisle from me. I look over, lady is making direct eye contact. I don't know if she's looking out the window, but she's like, I was like, oh. And then I looked at her later and she was still doing it. I'm like, yeah, I don't think she knew me. I just, I don't know what was going on.

What about the lady right here beside you? She was in the, like across the aisle. Across the aisle, okay. I was like, but she could have been looking out the window, but it seemed like she was looking directly at me. I was like, that's uncomfortable. I think it's admirable that you friends with your neighbors and I've never been friends with, I've never wanted to talk. I just want to go about my way. My neighbors across the street though.

I'm like, I need to get to know them. I invited them to my show at Zany's like a year ago. That probably wouldn't be the way. They come to my show. I've introduced myself. Nah, I'm not gonna do that. Well, you're right. Dusty was on that show.

So then the next time I see them after the show, they're like, man, that Dusty was funny, wasn't he? And at first I'm like, yeah. They know you. Yeah. No, they don't. That's the thing. We're trying to get to know each other. So now every time I see them, they'll say, when's your next show?

They're basically just waiting for me to get done talking so they can then tell me. I saw where Dusty's coming December 18th. They follow. They're huge Dusty fans. That's what we bonded over now is their love for Dusty. Well, you got a good neighborhood. Yeah. Good taste.

Always said that. Got people with good taste. Yeah. All right. Matt Graves. I like with good taste. Yeah. All right. Matt Graves. I like to think Matt Graves is a doctor. Matt Graves is a doctor. Maybe chiropractor. Dr. Graves. My wife and I went to see Tammy Pescatelli. Shout out. At one point, a lady's phone rang and she answered it. Tammy stopped her set and said, are you seriously on the phone? She grabbed the lady's phone and told the person,

she's getting arrested, she's gonna need bail money. It made me wonder, what's the craziest thing that's happened to all of you during a show and how did you handle it? I haven't had anything too crazy. Oh man. Power went out, I told that story and a few months ago in Huntsville,

halfway through my set, I did the last 30 minutes in the dark with no mic, but my crowds certainly aren't getting wild and yelling yee yee or. Yee yee. Yeah, people yell that out sometimes. Oh, they do it at yours? Yeah.

Oh, I mean. Yee yee. I mean, a guy passed, we've got some people, like some emergency, like medical things. I've had some pass outs too. Yeah, that's pretty, yeah. It's like once in a lifetime, but that's every, I mean, one time, okay.

I don't think I've ever told this story, but I was in at the Little Rock, what's that, Looney Bin? Rough Club. And the guy, this, this, I, okay. I like them there, but it's a rough club. I don't think it exists anymore. I think it does. Does it?

Yeah. There's no way. Yeah, it still does. I like them. I want that to be clear. I do like them, but that's a rough club. The only thing that I thought of is, and I thought of this because this guy

that just messaged me like recently, I was working with a comedian, I'm not making this up, that had, he had no arms and no legs. Okay. Why are you laughing? I don't know. I'm laughing because you're saying I'm not making this up. That would be a weird thing to make up. Okay. So he wasn't, he wasn't like, it wasn't from like an accident. He just was so, but like, that would be a weird accident that you lost your arms and your legs. I don't know.

Okay. So, but he was like, you know, you get there and he's like, this is your feet. And he had like a wheelchair and he could get around fine. And he had like someone with him or something.

And I was buddies, you know loved him and I was buddies.

You know how comics like, like our buddy, we joke with each other. Yeah. Like we're all friends pretty much. We joke with each other about everything. I'm joking with him like backstage and he's killing. And I'm like, I can't follow this. I can't follow it.

So I put my arm in my shirt. Oh no. Oh no. put my arm in my shirt. On stage? Before I came out. And I was not popular at this time. So like, now you know I have two arms. But it was like, no one knew him, no one knew me. So I put my arm in my shirt.

I had one arm. And I was like, I'm going to go out there and everybody's going to be like, this is the funniest thing. This is the funniest thing. What's happening to all these comics? What show is this? It was probably in 2010, maybe 2012 at the Little Rock. I never forget that room.

It's at that balcony on the outside you can kind of oh, yeah, and I was like this is gonna I mean he got a standing ovation. This is gonna blow the roof off this place Everybody's gonna be like Cuz we were buddies. Yeah, and so I went out there and I was like I had one arm in my and I was like Thank you so much.

Yeah. Did you keep it in the whole hour? Well, you get no laughs. You're like, I gotta give this a name. I gotta give this a name. I have no material about it. Yeah. I really think he's never talked about one arm. Didn't even mention it.

He didn't bring it up the whole time. So I was like, well, I don't know what to, I don't know what to, where to go. Cause it was, it was just bombing. It was bombing. I saw my arm, but they saw my arm and I go, and then I go, I pulled my arm out. I got, ah, I just kissed. We'd have to find somebody that was there.

We surely someone that this podcast is big enough. They were like, I was at that show. I need to find this person somehow and then verify this is a true story. Because then people were like, you know, like I was like, oh, just kidding. I got both of my arms, which is like even worse because they were like, now this is even this is so we just had like a heart to heart connection with this comedian and I'm just fully able and then bombing. That's the only time I've ever walked.

Like people left. Oh, so they did get mad about it. Yes. Cause I said, cause it was like a, it turned out that it was like a big, like military, there was a lot of military there and they had like experience with like losing limbs. Oh gosh. How was I supposed to know that?

Maybe not. What's his last name? Eastburn. Watch this is going to be true. East. East men, East burn comedian Brett East men. Yeah, but that's, that's, that'd be it. Wikipedia.

Yeah. Oh yeah, baby. Yes. Yes. Yes, dude. Oh yeah. That was I opened. He opened for me.

Yeah. Comedian and motivational speaker. And it was it was probably the funniest thing I've ever heard. Yeah. That's a tough middle act. At least warn me. Yeah. Yeah. Or be like Colonel Sanders. Yeah. Yeah. What did he say when the show was over? He thought it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. This this guy's dressed as Colonel Sanders and it says comedy has no color and it's

like what are we? Laughter has no color. I'm gonna comment on the yeah you're gonna go with a has no and you're not gonna mention the arms of the legs. One of the funniest one of the funniest I mean one of the funniest comics that I've ever worked for worked with yeah yeah he was dying laughing. And that's very sad. Dying laughing. I'm not trying to make fun of that guy. No.

I hope I never lose my own legs. I don't think so. He has a great sense of humor about it. Yeah. Yeah. But I was, I mean, somebody yelled something out. I mean, no one yells out to my shows ever. And it was like, they're like, hey, it's not funny or something like that. Oh, so.

And I was not, I was not prepared for that. It's hard to recover in the Little Rock Looney Man. Yeah, they even on a good night. Yeah, it's hard to recover. Yeah. Once you lose them, they're gone. And if they're like, that's not funny. And you're like, it just feels like you just want to go. That's pretty apparent.

Yeah. You've all made me well aware that this is not funny. And I appreciate what you've done for me. This helps. This helps. Yeah. Let's give it up for the troops. And I appreciate what you've done for me. This helps. This helps. Yeah. Let's give it up for the troops. And now I just got 58 more minutes to do. And then we'll get out of here.

Otherwise, I'm not getting paid. Yeah. Yeah. Well, people don't understand that if you're us, in a lot of ways, they already know us before they come now. But we've all spent 10, 12 years doing that where you're fighting against them from the start. Now you can just go over like introducing John Chris,

you're like, what up everybody? And they all know what we think about everything. So they already kind of know. But when you're the headliner and they've never heard you before. Yeah. You gotta win them over. I don't think I'd do it again

if somebody said you want to start over. I don't think I would. Would you? I don't know. I in a way, I kind of miss that. I kind of because I liked featuring. I liked going out and knowing who you were. Yeah. And you just being like, who is in there? I still got that. I mean, you know, like the money is obviously better this way, but I like I liked featuring.

It's a nice comfortable spot. Yeah. Yeah. You don't have to worry about ticket sales or nothing. Yeah. They just go in there and yeah. Yeah. You show up and they go, ticket sales aren't looking good. I'm like, it doesn't affect me. I'll still take those chicken fingers. And you go, I'm not, my name's not on the marquee. Yeah. For people that don't know, featuring is the middle. Oh yeah. There's a host MC, I'm not, my name's not on the marquee. Yeah. And for people that don't know, featuring is the middle act. Oh yeah. There's a host, MC, then the feature, and then the headliner.

And it's like, when you're the middle act, it's like the host goes out, it doesn't matter if the host bombs or does well, he's out there for 10 minutes, 15 minutes sometimes. And then you go out and you just get to roll right in. Who's this guy? Yeah. Oh yeah.

You get to come in hot. No check drop. I always had a joke ready. I had a few. You get to come in hot. No check drop. I always had a joke ready. I had a few jokes that were like, they were, yeah. Oh yeah. Get them quick. Oh yeah. And then I pull them on.

I had a hot 30 and then I was out. Off to the races. Yeah. Hot 30. Then I'd go sit outside, have a cigar while the headliner was on stage. Yeah. Whatever was going on there is not my problem. You don't have to, you're not hosting.

Yeah. You don't have to wait and go. I don't have to. You're not hosting. Yeah. Not to wait and go. You're not have to even be back. Yeah. I just want to, you know, sell some, try to sell some CDs.

Also this other guy's name is, I was not gonna read that one. David Mon, is it Monteith you think? It's gotta be Monteith. Monteith. This is an unbelievable story. A few years back, my ex-wife and I decided to date again.

On our first date, we had dinner and then went to see Dusty at the Greenville South Carolina Comedy Zone. Let me say similar to the Little Rock, yeah, similar type five. My ex kept laughing her shrill high pitched laugh in all the wrong places. The club would be so silent waiting on the punchline and she would just burst out laughing.

It was so embarrassing. Needless to say things didn't work out because I can't deal with that. Wow, listen, I'm gonna go ahead and say this, David Monteith, I saved you some trouble, bud. And that was the second time around. Yeah, cause you- How did you not know it the first time?

Cause it's like, you never made her laugh and I think she was laughing at me being awkward or something, but- Wait, hold on, hold on. It's my ex-wife and I decided to date again. It's his ex currently, it's not ex-wife and I decided to date again. It's his ex currently. It's not he divorced her and then started dating her again. My ex-wife and I decided to date again.

Oh, okay. Different people. I thought you meant they got back together. Oh, that's what I'm thinking too. No, no, no, no. Him and his ex-wife went, my ex kept laughing. So yeah, he went back on a date with his ex-wife. They got divorced and then they decided- No, it's his ex now, but they were married then. I think they were divorced. Oh.

And they were like, let's- Decided to date again. You remember when we got married, how fun that was? Let's date again. Let's try that again. And then they came to my show and I was so funny to her that she was laughing at times when the rest of the audience weren't laughing.

So you're on her side. I feel like me and her had a real connection. Not him. Was he jealous? Do you think he was jealous? And David Monteith was like, I can't deal with this. Yeah, laughing at the wrong time. Cause I don't remember this.

I was just in Greenville and I, you know, I had some wild shows, but I don't remember a particular, I think I had a guy pass out at that show. Yeah. Does that qualify as a detail that to the lawyer as a, as a reason for the split? Does he sign off on that? I guess it depends on how big of a fan the lawyer is of me. Oh yeah. He's like, let me look up this guy's clips.

Yeah. I see. And if he likes them, it's stuff. He's like, oh, I'm on this check. Yeah. This checks out. Yeah. And if he likes them, it's stuff. He's like, Oh, I'm on this check. So yeah, this checks out. But unreal. Yeah. You don't remember this. I remember being there the last time. But I don't remember a lady with a shrill high pitch lap. But I did record all the sets. Maybe I'll go back and

watch. I mean, if you go to if you go to on a date with someone to a comedy show, and you're like dying, and they're not, and you're like dying and they're not or they're dying and you're not it's done yeah it's done if everybody's laughing oh that's hilarious oh yeah if they you didn't think that was funny yeah you're done it's over the rap yeah I think so too this is what I remember about the Greenville comedy zone underneath yeah yeah Underneath is a dance club. And I would come in that way. And the floor was so sticky,

I thought it was gonna rip my shoes off as I walked across the floor. Yeah. That's the Greenville's version of Jason Aldean's. Okay. All right, we got about 20 minutes left to get into our topic. Uh. Oh, we do? Yeah. Oh. Is that alright? Yeah, I didn't know how the yeah, I don't

know how the podcast went. Uh. The podcast, the topic is usually pretty irrelevant. Oh, yeah. Sometimes we get to it. Sometimes we don't. Well, I did a lot of work on it. So, thanks guys. Yeah, let's hear it. Appreciate the way you feel about it. I'm into it. Let's hear it. It's it's NASCAR. You guys are both big NASCAR guys. Let's go. I wore this hat because I know I feel like with NASCAR and country music, y'all are the same. Dusty was 80s and

90s NASCAR country music. You're more modern NASCAR. Okay. And more modern country music. Right. More of the next gen car the restrictor plate NASCAR. You're a post Malone kind of country guy though, right? Yeah, yeah. Oh, they're like, oh you hate it. He likes NASCAR drivers with a lot of tattoos. Oh dude, I started seeing you a bunch on Twitter. Have you discussed that?

Yeah, yeah we did. Oh you haven't discussed that, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause he said post Malone, that's what we were thinking about that. Oh yeah, yeah. I was like, I was texting Mike, I was like, what's Dusty doing? Yeah, I mean it was just like- This is off track, sorry. I was just having some fun with that. Oh, yeah. I was like, I was texting my I was like, what's Dusty doing? Yeah, I mean, it was just this is off track.

So I was just having some fun with Aaron. And then I think the the. Country music news was having a slow day. Yeah, yeah. And they got on to you. Yeah. You guys are both big NASCAR fans, though. In the 90s, I was my family was big NASCAR family. We went to Talladega, Atlanta. I've been to Bristol.

We watched all the races. We all had our own NASCAR driver. I had Kyle Petty. My mom was Alan Kowicki. My uncle was Bill Elliott. My cousin was Davey Allison. Nothing better. You all watched together?

My brother-in-law was Dale Earnhardt. None of us liked Dale Earnhardt. He was a real, in our, yeah, in our household, he was like the bad guy of racing. And then my brother-in-law came in as a big Dale Earnhardt fan. Yeah. Nobody liked Jeff Gordon. Yeah. It was, you know, my, my, my, uh, my aunt liked Mark Martin. Uh, my sister liked, uh, I forget, but, uh, there was some, I forget, but there was some, I don't think there was an Ernie Irvin fan, but I remember him.

Everybody had merch. Everybody had merch. I wore a lot of Kyle Petty t-shirts to school. I remember I was in a coral group. It was a class that you had to take in elementary school, and they asked us to wear something nice, and my mom put me in my newest Kyle Petty t-shirt. And it was like Kyle Petty's car in space.

So I had a lot of stars on it, but it looked like paint splotches. So. That's game over. Yeah. I got a couple of pictures, school pictures and Kyle Petty t-shirts. I know Kyle.

Do you? I was on his show. Yeah. I love Kyle Petty. I mean, I like Mellow Yellow. He was on his show. Yeah. I love Kyle Petty. I mean, I like Mellow Yellow. Oh, he was on your show, right? Yeah. I was on his show, that car show. Oh, was he on my show? Oh, he hosted a show where y'all went to eat at a restaurant. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was a big Kyle Petty fan. I saw him wreck at Talladega. Oh, man. Pretty sad. Yeah. It uh, I would say for the I was in Saginaw,

Michigan in Hampton Inn from about noon to six and I would I will turn on the NASCAR race before an NFL game. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. That's impressive. So you're is that your favorite sport? To watch? I mean, I know everything. I mean, I think I feel like some people like to watch like sports now. They don't like to watch it. They just like to follow. Yeah, yeah.

The storylines, oh, the cheat. They don't even watch the game. I'm like that. Yeah. I like to watch Alabama and then I like to just follow what's going on with stuff. Yeah, I like the NBA like that. I don't wanna watch a game,

but I wanna watch like, oh, Steph Curry and LeBron James and they hate this guy and he's out and they're talking about a heard used to be my favorite. I love drama like Colin Cowherd and I loved it. Yeah. NASCAR. Right. It's it's on. If you ever went to it, you would be you were like, this is my favorite sport. Yeah. For sure. When I went to Bristol, I was like, I'm about to watch this every weekend. Yeah. I didn't. Yeah. But I felt like I'm going to watch this every weekend. I've been to one race. It was with Nate.

It's one where he was doing those drive-in tours. Yeah. And we were in Kansas. We went to a race at the track in Kansas. NASCAR race or dirt track? No, NASCAR. Eric Stone Street got us tickets. And it was indoor in a box.

It was kind of nice. Oh, you were inside watching it in the box. It wasn't of nice. Oh, you were inside. Watch it. Wasn't loud. Yeah. It was really cold that day. I think we weren't cold. So the loud is what it's all about. The smell and the gas. Yeah. Tires. Yeah. I mean, when I was a kid, I'd go to these Talladega races and it was bring your own beer. People would have their coolers out there and they had this, I got a picture and they, we showed it on this podcast before, but people have their shirts off and they're like whipping the shirts around as the cars are coming.

And then at the end of the night, they're dumping all the water out of their coolers. Because it's too much to carry. Well, do you think if some people like, I'm trying to think of a good example, like Crocs, if you're like, are you wearing those sincerely or ironically? You know what I'm saying?

Like, oh, like a high schooler that goes to David Lipscomb that's wearing Crocs, like, oh, they're wearing them. But like your uncle that like works outside, he's wearing them. He doesn't get that they're like NASCAR race. You're like, are you, some people go ironically. Yeah. They're like, LOL. right? Look at this. Right. And some people were like, we're here. And you don't know the difference. Yeah, that's true. Growing up, you would go to them, or you would

watch it sincerely. Yeah, I mean, it was, but now you you would still go with but you're like, you kind of understand the yeah, now I go for some, you know, it's still some people watching. And yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're like, you kind of understand the. Yeah. Now I go for some, you know, it's still some people watching and yeah. And you're like, it's like this County fair. Yeah. Yeah. That's what's best about it. But Bristol, what was so great about Bristol is that you're, you see the whole track. Yeah. And it's just really fun.

The world's largest Coliseum. Yeah. Still. Yeah. So you sponsor a car. I sponsor a late model racing team, Dylan Bates, baby in the ninety-one. My cousin. Oh, yeah. Uh he's he's at uh at the National Fairgrounds Speedway, I think in a month. Okay. Uh that's a good time. So, that the car's painted like that. Yeah, car looks like that. It's updated for the uh for this year. That's two years ago. That's two years ago. John

Chris Racing. Yeah, baby. That's a good time at those races, man. And you just go when you can. Yeah, I go. I sponsor them. Then I go whenever if I can go to the race, I'll go. Yeah, they're usually on there. I mean on Sundays. And where are you? Like in the pit pit crew? I'm on the pit crew. I've been changing tires, bro. You have? There's my other car. Yeah. Where? Which one? That one below. This? Yeah, that's fine. Is that really yours?

Yeah. Yeah. That is. Yeah. That's cool. That's my sister had a Mustang like that. I have that car, ironically. That's a convertible too?

No, it's not a convertible. My sister had that in a convertible, not ironically, but you know, at the time it was, that was an up-to-date model. Yeah. The Fox body? Yeah, it was a good was an up-to-date model. Yeah. The Fox body. Yeah. It was a convertible.

Yeah. Certain areas, certain, certain cities in the country pull up in one of that. One of those. Yeah. You think my neighborhood. Now let me ask you this, Dusty. Uh, I never followed racing, but my family certainly did. And, um, why is it that, it that Jeff Gordon, they hated Jeff Gordon

was because he was a pretty boy. I think he's from California. So they didn't feel like he really fit in with racing. Yeah. Jeff Foxworthy would say the problem with him is he enunciated when he talked. Yeah, they couldn't understand it. Yeah. Who is this guy?

Who's a pretty boy. Yeah, in the DuPont car. Yeah. Who is this guy? Who's pretty boy in the DuPont car? Yeah. Always up front. Always up for. Yeah. He was good. Yeah. It was very good. Unbelievable. Driver. Good looking, dude. Yeah. Oh, that too. Great set of hair. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Do you think drivers are athletes? 100 percent. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Mm hmm. I mean, you know, the driver, Dick Trickle, would smoke a cigarette as he went around in the caution There's video of him smoking a cigarette in the caution. Well, that's what are you know, that doesn't help your story saying but the the you know It's like if you've ever even just driven real fast on the interstate It's like it requires a lot of like attention and you got a you know, what's the fastest you've ever drove in the interstate?

I attention and you got to, you know. What's the fastest you've ever drove on the interstate? I don't know. 120, I guess. I don't know. I don't like to, and that would have been. Right. One, yeah. 125, 130. Something like that. Yeah. I don't like that either.

I don't enjoy that. Yeah. I'm not trying to. You know, they pee in the seat though. Oh, do they? At the rate. I mean, you're in the, you're in a car. I would imagine, yeah. For five hours and you're drinking a ton of water. Yeah. They just, you're in the, you're in a car for five hours and

you're drinking a ton of water. Yeah. They just, and then they just like watch us through them, I guess. I read that. Yeah. Sometimes they'll douse themselves. I read pretty quick when they get out to not make it obvious. Oh, yeah. I would imagine a lot of athletes do that though. I mean, like football, football field. I mean, what are you going for a pee break? Halftime you could. And they drink a lot. Yeah. They drink a lot of water. They burn a lot. Maybe they burn a lot all. Yeah. Yeah. Now I read that you have to be 200 pounds. Did you know that? I didn't know that. And if you're not 200 pounds then they'll add weight to make you 200.

In the car? The car has to be be, those guys are all over 200 pounds. Well, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. One, uh, Talladega yesterday is not 200 pounds. They add the weight. Danica Patrick wasn't. Yeah. Yeah. That's the example they gave Danica Patrick. But if a driver weighs more than 200, like Tony Stewart, the weight of the car, you call the man out like that, yeah. Might have to be reduced to satisfy the total weight of three thousand four hundred fifty pounds. Oh, so add or remove weight to your car

to make it illegal. Cutting weight. Yeah. Who's the greatest NASCAR driver all time? Well, Richard Petty has the most titles, I think, but I do think it's Dale Earnhardt. I mean, he would have had the most, right? Had he not died. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, I only know. Everybody told. I only know the old guys, but. I mean, that was at 2001. Yeah, 2001.

Everybody tells me now that they go, when it was like 20 laps to go, he was coming for you. Yeah. And they would say that with like a tear in their eye. Yeah, yeah. You knew that guy was coming. was almost like Jordan when it's like the last second you're like you knew he was going to shoot and you still couldn't stop. Clutch. Yeah. Yeah. That guy was coming. Yeah. That was yeah. And he were like he's way in the back of the pack and you can just see

him. I was at the brickyard in Indy this year watching Brad Kislawski. And you could just see he had fresh tires and you could just see if he had enough laps left, you're like, he's gonna get him. And that is nothing better to watch. You're like, your guy is coming. Gosh, it's unbelievable. I remember Dale Earnhardt's death.

I don't follow NASCAR, but that was such a big thing. And I read where they made so many safety changes that they haven't had a death since. Interesting. Yeah, I guess they haven't. They did that harness for the neck and all that stuff that they implement. And then Michael Waltrip won that race. Poor guy was his first win ever.

Well, you know who was on the call? Darrell Waltrip. Darrell Waltrip is dad. Oh, I know Darrell Waltrip a little bit. That's his dad. I thought it was his brother. Is it brother? I think they might be brothers. Oh, Michael Waldrop is who I know. Yeah. He has the other four dealerships. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we know each other

on the internet. Oh, you do. He says we're having a good time and stuff. He stole it from me. Yeah. Well, I mean, he does it. He credits me. Oh, he does. Yeah. If you go back and watch that call of that television call, it is it is moving. Yeah. Yeah. Of Michael winning. Of Michael winning and his brother calling it and Dale. Yeah. It was the last lap of Daytona.

But did they? That's like you going out on your Netflix special or something like that. Yeah. Really? You're on Daytona is the main, the signature track and the last lap. I mean, I- I'm scared to film another special.

Sorry. Well, you mentioned you had one earlier. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So according to NASCAR attendance statistics,

it's lost 50% of its live audience and TV viewership from its peak in 2005. What are you looking for? A rebuttal? What do you guys watch it? What do you have to say? I mean, Dusty's a perfect example. He didn't watch anymore.

I think that, yeah, there's like, what a lot of people say is there's like too much money in it now, right? So it's like, you don't get a lot of the grittier NASCAR drivers that you used to get. Yeah, because it's like, it's too much money involved. And that's my fear with college football, is that sort of thing. Money was always involved, obviously, but it's like, I don't know.

Well, now I think all those, there's a lot of money involved and the sponsors now have more power. So like Dale Earnhardt, everybody wanted to, okay, like me, I guess, yeah, everybody wanted to sponsor his car, but he, cause he was the king and everybody's trying to put money up this way. If you're one of these mid-tier drivers,

the money is coming from Pennzoil or whoever. And then if they disapprove of something you say or something you tweet or something, then you're're done and you want to keep racing again so all these all these big personalities that another Dale Earnhardt can't really come. Corporations are ruined in the country. Come on. They're ruined. And you just got to let it hey if you're gonna sign this deal you got to let them say whatever they want let them fight let them smoke cigarettes and cautions yeah all this stuff yeah. It makes me want to sponsor like a real renegade driver I mean I whatever they want, let them fight, let them smoke cigarettes and cautions. Yeah. All this stuff.

Yeah. It makes me want to sponsor like a real renegade driver. I mean, I don't have that kind of money. I don't have Pennzoil money. Oh yeah. You can come on, you can come on the back of our car. Yeah. Oh yeah.

The John Chris Dusty Slade 91 car. Yeah. Driven by Dylan Bates. Dusty, what do you think about this? People have complained and said it's maybe conspiratorial, some of these caution flags. Sometimes they suggest that the race is being manipulated, that the intention is not safety, as NASCAR claims, but closer races. Yeah, I mean, I think it's that way with all sports and some of these calls that they make. Like, you do a football all the time, it's like, you don't call holding,

and then all of a sudden big play happens and you're like, oh, hold. And sometimes you see the hold and you go, yeah, that affected the play. But other times you're like, that didn't have any effect on it, it's a weak call, but you've completely changed the momentum of this game. Yeah. To make sure, like the socialism.

To make sure it's all. Yeah, you wanna make sure that. What you want at the end of the game is people watching. Yeah. If it's 27 to zero, that's not a good product. Yeah. And they're gonna change to another sport. Or you want a team to move forward

that has a bigger fan base. Yeah. And send it more exciting story. I mean, every NASCAR race, every NASCAR race in the last, all year, it's three laps to go somebody cautions or something. Yeah. Then they bring everybody back together. We're like, ah, never seen this before. Three laps to, you know, it's a three laps to the finish and everybody's locked in. Cause green flag racing

is what this, this, the Nashville track is, is not good because everybody just gets spread out and you just go for three hours you're just circling. Now the Atlanta, this is a little insider, but they repaved it, made it more you could catch up and you can fall back. So it's, it used to be very, very boring race. They repaved it. Now it's awesome.

Okay. And what they don't want is just, they want some wrecks, some people passing, they want parity. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why the sponsors need to loosen up. That's what we all want. We all want a little trash talk. A little bit.

That's what I, you know, I love a press conference where a little trash talk happens. They say they should bring back fighting, but to do it like hockey, where you can fight until you go to the ground. Yeah. Which is an insane rule. I love it. In NASCAR? No, they have it in hockey. Yeah. You can fight. Oh you're saying bring it back in hockey. And as soon as they go to the ground split it. Yeah. They should bring that to NASCAR. If you go another guy fight is if you're both stand in. Baseball, if you drop the glove, alright it's on. If you don't drop the glove then you know. Can't fight.

Yeah. Yeah. Do you think they need air conditioning in the cars? No. Yeah, the way they have the cool outfits. They run ice water through their shirts. Okay. Yeah, they have like little veins in there.

But was it F1 that was talking about putting, we talked about this a link last time you were putting AC in the cars. Oh yeah, the F1 is doing, I don't like F1. They're too, they act like they're better than everybody. You got air conditioning, you're too, you're no longer in the cars? Oh yeah, the F1 is doing, I don't like F1. They act like they're better than everybody. You got air conditioner, you're too, you're no longer in the elements. Yeah. I went to the NASCAR Hall of Fame. They're not athletes. Yes. They're not athletes. I went to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina. I was there with Nate, one of his shows. Have you been there? Oh yeah. They let you like

do a pit crew, like change tires, stuff like that. Race somebody and they show all the different tracks, all the different. Turns out you're just working at a body shop. I got lost. Yeah. This is how they do it. Why are my hands greasy? Why is this the Toyota Corolla?

Very real. I've been here for eight hours. Get a paycheck at the end. You know, you know why? You know, did they, did you watch the video of how NASCAR started? I know it was from, I didn't see a video from Moonshine running. Moonshine. Yeah.

Running the Moonshiners in, was it all over the South? Yeah. They would stock these cars and make them outrun the cops. Oh yeah. Yeah. There's a song called Thunder Road. My dad used to sing that song. Great song.

Who sings it? I don't know. My dad sang it sing that song. Great song. Who sings it? I don't know. My dad sang it. And then once Prohibition ended, they would still do it, but outrun the tax collector. Unreal. And you think F1, you think F1 or IndyCar Racing has a story like that?

I don't know. No, get out of IndyCar Racing and F1 Racing and come over to Cup Racing, because that's the best there is. Now what's the difference between Cup racing and the one you sponsor? We're like the minor leagues. What's it called? We're a late model, super late model race, race team.

We race at like fairgrounds, speedways and smaller. I mean some of the NASCAR guys come down to our races, sometimes they race against us. Robert Mitchum, ballad of Thunderub, great. So you don't want to not have that one. Yeah. That's the way you pull out the cell phone for that. Yeah. Well, if Aaron would have looked it up for me.

Oh, I'm sorry. You got a lot going on. I'm sorry. Yeah, we got to wrap it up here. Anything else about NASCAR? You know what? Go. There was a night race that they did in the 90s.

And then there's a poster of it. And you have the night race and it has all the NASCAR drivers in it. And I was at the restaurant in McMinnville Tammies. And they had that. We used to have that in our trailer. And they had that at Tammies. And I was like, me and my mom were in there. We got real excited about it.

Because the night race. That's something we knew all those guys on there. We knew everybody. And we're going to go to the night. Yeah, yeah, it was really fun. I told my agent and we got a couple, we might have to sell some more tickets to go to get to this level, but I want to go to Thursday, Friday, Saturday, do shows and then Sunday fly private to the NASCAR race and then go home. And he goes, well, we got some work to do, but yeah, I can't fly.

I can't have nowhere near like every week. That's your schedule. I would like to do that. I like that. Yeah. And NASCAR Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Why not just try to get your shows in the city where you're due? Like you're out the whole tour.

Like your last show in that city. Uh, every Sunday they have a race, right? Every Sunday, like 38 weeks a year, yeah. Then you don't even need to fly. You don't just end up there. I don't like to... You're like a, you call it like a NASCAR head or something. Like a dead head?

What would it be? Oh yeah, they're, yeah. And then they're just redneck. What do they call them? I go to every race. That'd be sweet. All right, we're talking about where this weekend? Oh yeah.

I'll go first then while you're looking at it. Okay. What do they call them? I go to every race. That'd be sweet. Yeah. All right. We're talking about where this weekend. Oh yeah.
