You're VIP. Yeah, I saw baby Olive. I saw dad, Erin is a dad and she's super cute. And home now. And home. Oh, good. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if we've even mentioned,

but she's been in the hospital. That's one reason why Erin hasn't been here yet, but now she's home and, uh, just got home. So she's doing good. I say every week, I think Erin's going to be back next week. I really do think he'll be back next week, but, uh, everything's going good. Nate will never be back.

Gone. Nate, we don't. Yeah. This is our podcast now. Yeah. No one's even talked to Nate. Brian and Dusty podcast. That's why Mountain Dew's a sponsor.

Yeah. Yeah. They're like switching. Yeah. They're switching. That's why Mountain Dew's a sponsor now. Yeah, yeah. They're like switching. Yeah. They're switching. So thank you for being here, Angela. Hey, my pleasure. Thanks for having me.

I just got, earlier this month, I got to do your podcast, Fungilla, here live at Zany's and that was so much fun. That was fun. Yeah. And I bring this up all the time. Neither you or Dusty seem to care. I feel like I'm the only one that really cares.

But you guys were born the same week and you have children that were born the same week. I do believe. Wow. I feel like I knew about our children. Did I know that about us too? I don't know. I'm May 18th.

And I'm May 14th. 1982. 1982. Yeah. And your baby? Is born May 11th. 1982. 1982. Yeah. And your baby? Is born May 11th. Not June? Oh, I have a son that born in June.

Yeah, June. June 19th. And my daughter's June 14th. Wow. Boom. Why are- 2023? Stop being each other. Stop.

We need to, what are we doing? Wow. That's pretty amazing. I can't even tell the difference between you two. What am I thinking? You're thinking, man, I wish I had some of that Mountain Dew. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh my God. Same. We're the same person. Baja blast. You guys both think they're putting some ingredients in our food in America that they're not doing in Europe. So. Oh, you posted about that too?

Well, I talk about it every week. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, I posted about it, which that's me talking about it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So. It's not just, which that's me talking about it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So. It's not just that we think that, that is happening.

Well, I'm just saying you're both celebrities who like to tell us how to live our life. This is true. Got some conspiracy theories going. Yeah. Yeah. I have become more of a conspiracy theorist in my older years, I think. If you're not, then you're not even paying attention.

There it is. And that's what Brian's doing. Brian's head in the sand all day. Yeah, yeah. I do feel bad for Dusty because I always bring up the conspiracy theories. I get them going on. I'm not even trying to talk about it.

I know, you're not. And I'm always the one. I'm just in here trying to drink my Mountain Dew and cheese. Trying to mind a business. I know, I know. I bring them up, then Dusty comments on them, and then he gets criticized in the comments like, oh, here we go with another conspiracy theory. So I apologize,

Dusty. You know what? I hate juice. And I've just noticed that Mountain Dew contains 0% juice. Another reason to drink it. I hate juice. Well save it for the battery. Okay. Juice. Just so we're clear. juice is what I said. Sometimes juice can sound like other things. Hilarious. Hilarious. Before we get going, I got some, I got some Nate Land news I want to share.

This week, the Nate Land showcase. Again, I'm hosting because Dusty refuses to and Aaron and Nate are MIA. Well, I don't refuse to, but I've got a lot going on. I'm joking. Tonight you're doing the, you're doing the rhyming. Yeah. You can't do it, you're doing the rhyming. Dang. Yeah, so.

But anyway, I'm hosting, oh, I'm sorry, that's Nate Land Live that I'm hosting every Monday here at Zany's. Yeah, and you're crushing it, you know what I mean? Yeah, it's so fun, we always have great comics. That's NateLandLive that I'm hosting every Monday here at Zany's. Yeah. And you're crushing it. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's so fun.

We always have great comics. The Showcase, which I did host last month, that's the monthly show we do here at Zany's. This week we debuted Liz Glazer. Liz was super funny. She won the Boston Comedy Festival. She came down and did it and crushed it. And so hers just came out. We have one more Showcase this year, November 4th.

The last comedy show on earth. Yeah, we usually do them on Tuesdays, but this next month, Tuesday is election day. So Dusty says this will be the last comedy show. Before the country falls into complete chaos. And it's already sold out. So people have gotten the word, Dusty. Yeah, they're like, get our lives the word Dusty. Yeah, yeah. Well done.

Get our lives in while we can. Yeah, yeah. That's right. But anyway, Nate Land Live is every Monday here at the lab. Good clean funny sets. Last week we had Dustin Nickerson who was a guest on the pod. He stuck around. John Chris dropped in.

Steven Barghatze dropped in. Speaking of Steven, he's got his own show coming up here in a couple of weeks. Stephen Bargatze and friends here at Zany's on October 27th. Clean Magic Show with Stephen and some of his closest magician friends. Have fun.

And I have my show here at Zany's at the lab. Brian Bates and friends. Clean as in no vulgarity or it's just gonna be like, it's just clean tricks. Like it's like flawless. Ah, and no slime. There's no slime in the tricks. Yeah, no sloppy tricks.

No. Just clean magic. It doesn't say. Okay. We'll have to get a clarification on that. But I was talking about my show. Oh, right, back to you. My show, my next one is November 27th here at the lab.

Angela, you did last month. Thank you for dropping in. It was a lot of fun. November 27th, that's the night before Thanksgiving. That's a great night to go out. Yeah, you don't have to work the next day. And usually family's in town. Yeah.

Like family that comes in town. They don't come in the day of Thanksgiving. Usually they come in like the day before. And laugh off some calories before you put them back on. That's right. Make room, make room for the new calories. Yeah. And to Angela's point,

you're probably already annoyed with your family by Wednesday night. Yeah. You might as well. They just arrived. Yeah, they just got here, but let's go see a comedy show. Take them out to see a comedy show.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just a good old Brian Bates comedy show. What's the show called? Brian Bates and Friends. We gotta get you a name for it. That makes sense. I thought that was my name.

Yeah, we gotta get you a name for your show. Brian Bates and Friends, I mean, that's a fine name, but let's give a spicy name. Okay, well, if you have any names, please write in. Yeah, let's get audience suggestions. Leave a comment. Yeah. Well, Angela did it because she's my friend.

Dusty has not done it, and yeah, so I think the name suggestions. Yeah. Well, Angela did it because she's my friend. Dusty has not done it. And yeah, so I think the name fits. Ooh. Oh, okay. Ooh. Dusty also refuses to do it. Well, if you change the name, then I'll do it. Okay.

I don't want to give off the impression that I'm your friend, you know what I mean? The Dusty Slays doing this show, Brian Bates show. I think you gotta lean into the Brian Breakfast Bates. Breakfast Bates is a hot name, I think. I just call you B Bates. Yeah, like I think you got to lean into the Brian Breakfast Bates. And Breakfast Bates is a hot name, I think. I just call you B Bates. Yep. I feel like it gives you a little bit of street cred.

I like that too. She's always called me B Bates. Yeah, since day one. That's a day one-er name right there. You really have. Yeah. Right off. If you call yourself, you call it the B Bates show,

they're going to think it's like an edgy show. They're going to be like, ooh, what's this? Not Brian Bates, it's B Bates. What is that, your rap name? Oh, my gosh, maybe. And then instead of comedy, you rap. Do it. I'm thinking about it.

All right. I'll help you write some lyrics. I was texting with Angela and Dan, Danielle, Danielle. Pretty much. That's what we've become, D'Angèle. Yeah. Her tour manager. And Danielle was saying, Ange, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then I replied something and I said, Ange. And then I was like, I've never called her Ange before. Do we have a relationship where I could call you Ange? I had to ask. We do. Well, here's the thing. He actually didn't ask. He assumed that we didn't have that

relationship with, I was actually offended more by that. He was like, I'm sorry, we're not that close for me to call you Ange. And I was like, we're not? Oh, I thought we were, sure, I'm sorry. Apologies, Sir Brian. She's been chopping letters off your name since you met day one.

You can chop a few off her name. But we learned last week's episode, West Coast and the South, different vibes. So, you know, we're more formal. I got to hear it. Yeah. We had some conflicting things because I think you changed the name on me.

See, I was under the impression that it was like the South versus the West Coast. And you changed it to like cultural differences. So people thought when you were, the clip that you shared, when you were like, oh, we wish we had the ocean. They thought you were talking about Tennessee, I think. And I thought we were talking about the South

and I'm like, well, we have the ocean. And then you were like, I wish we had mountains. And I'm like, well, we have beautiful mountains. Yeah, I hear what you're saying. Right, yeah, I was thinking more of specifically Nashville, where I live, where we have to drive to the ocean. And then even farming, I was thinking more of specifically Nashville, where I live, where we have to drive to the ocean. And then even farming, I was forgetting about Florida, but I think only almonds grow in

California. Like when you just said the West Coast and the South, immediately I went to Nashville and I forgot that there's other parts of the South. Yeah. Florida. I mean, there's a whole Florida and the whole East Coast of South Carolina, Charleston, South Carolina, beautiful beaches. Well, you're right about that. Now, Florida, you were claiming places in Florida that we don't claim, Dusty.

Miami, nobody thinks that. I used to think that about Miami and then I went and I spent some time there. I like Miami. I love, I like Miami, but I don't consider it the South. Yeah, that's two different things. I did. Miami is too spicy to be the South.

You like Canada. You consider it the South. Yeah, there's two different things. I did. Miami's too spicy to be the South. You like Canada, you consider Canada the South? Well, I feel like if you get so North, like in Canada, you're almost back to the South. Yeah. What? It's full circle. Yeah. Well, not literally for you.

Once you go above Toronto, yeah, it gets very Southern up there. Yeah. Interesting. Nate Land is recording Greg Warren's special, November 23rd, The Funny Bone in Columbus, Ohio, first show sold out. So you better get your tickets for the late show before it sells out. Nate land's also recording Mike Vecchione special

here at the lab on December 28th, two shows for the special taping night available now get them before they're gone. Is that a second special? Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. Really been cranking it out. Yeah. Nice Mike. Yeah. And so we so just give you an update on the Nate Land podcast network update. Consumers with Greg Warren, Tim Convy, Sean O'Brien every Tuesday. Uh this week they tackle Oreo. They have a product that they get into every week. Oh yes. Okay.

Cool. And then we're on Wednesday and then don't make me come back there with Dustin Melissa Nickerson every Thursday. Fun. All right. Some hot news. So let's talk about where we were this weekend. I'll go first. Okay. Thursday, I was in Arlington, Virginia at the Arlington Draft House. Have you guys ever done that club? No. It was great.

A lot of people came out. The staff was very nice. But when I got there, there was no openers. What? And I said, is the opener coming? They're like, yeah, so and so is coming. He'll be here about 7, 10. The show's supposed to start at 7.

And he got there about seven and he said, I'm gonna do 10, 15 minutes then I gotta go. What? And he said, how much time are you gonna do? I was like, well, an hour. What's his name? I don't wanna say, but I said, he said that'd be a long enough show.

I mean, contractually, it's fine. Yeah. So he, he did exactly 10 and got off and took off. Was he funny? Yeah. I'll be honest with you. I didn't hear much of a set because now I'm thinking I gotta do some more jokes. Sure, sure, sure.

So I didn't really hear a set, but he did 10, got off. Start pulling out jokes from the vault. You're like, wait a minute. Yeah, I just wanted to make sure I at least hit an hour. Sure, of course. So I went, you know, intentionally. What were you planning on doing? And I was planning on doing an hour,

unless they had like some clubs, you know, will say someone's doing a guest set, blah, blah, blah. And then I'll do like 50 maybe. Yeah. But an hour is usually the max for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm comfortable doing. So I went slow and max for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah comfortable doing so I went slow and

Took my time. Yeah, and when I got off I'd done an hour 20. All right Yeah, I love an 80 minute show yep, so long enough to get breakfast after Yeah, so, you know, should I be doing an hour 20 minute show every time? No, I think so But now I can do it. And it was a great time. Everyone was so nice and fun and proud of you. And then Saturday. Thank you. And then Saturday night, I did this new club in Clarksville called

Clarksville, Tennessee, which is like an hour from here. Joker's Comedy House. It's an urban club. I love doing urban shows and urban. It's just a different vibe. I really play up. How are you received? Are you a full show? Yeah, I am received well, if I do say so myself. I play up the whiteness. I don't run from it.

I love it. I love it. Very good in those rooms. Yeah. Did you do a full show? Yeah, I was headliner. Oh, okay. Yeah. Now that one- DJ on the show? Yeah, he hosted.

All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, there was a, you know, a white couple down front. So all the black comics messed with them. And then I messed with them too in a different way. Like we gotta stick together. You know, that kind of thing. So they were a big part of the show. That sounds like it was fun.

Yeah, it was great. It was great. So that was my weekend. Good. All right. Do I go next? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't wanna, I don't wanna.

Now we'll go around the room. Okay, okay. So I was in Philly and had a great time. I hadn't been in Philly in many, many years. And I didn't realize that Philly was a vibe. Like it was so cute. We stayed in an Airbnb and there was all these cute little like restaurants, cafes to like walk to.

Everybody's walking their dogs. There's Halloween decorations everywhere. And it was so fun. And I feel like that helps me creatively and in my mood to just feel lighter and more fun than when you're staying in a real corporatey hotel, especially when you're in a hotel right by the airport and it's just business complex after business complex.

It doesn't feel life-giving. And then you just gotta go on stage and like turn it on, you know? But when you're like surrounded by life, it just does something different to my spirit. It does something different to the way I communicate with an audience. And I really felt that on stage this weekend in Philly

and they were such great crowds. And then I felt like I was also giving them something special because I was in a different kind of like mood. And it was just a fun, fun weekend. I did some writing because I'm finishing up my new hour and I did some tweaking. I had Joe Larson opening for me. And every time I work with Joe, he is so great at listening to my set and being like, did you ever think about trying it like this? And I'm like, oh, I didn't, I'm going to do that on the next show. And like, it's just always so fun, especially when I get my hour to a certain place where I'm like, okay, I know I want to tweak it, but I'm like all out of ideas. And then I

get fresh eyes on it. And they'll go, okay, what if you do it like this? What if you move this here and then do that? I mean like, oh, I didn't even think about that. Yes, that's so good. So I did a lot of that playing around this weekend, which also felt good. So I feel like I'm leaving this weekend on a creative like boost.

Like, okay, that feels good. So that's great. That's the best feeling in the world. What venue did you do? Helium. All right. Yeah. I've never done. Yeah, I've done it. That's the original one. the world. What venue did you do? Helium. All right. I've never done,

Yeah, I've done it. That's the original one. Yeah, it is. And it's such a fun room. It's like super intimate. The audience is literally like right here. The ceiling is low. It feels like a basement.

It feels like we're very close with each other. And they were just such a good crowd. I like the Heliums. I've never done that one, but the ones I've done, I like. Yeah. close with each other and they were just such a good crowd. I like the Heliums. I've never done that one, but the ones I've done I like. Yeah. They're all great. Yeah. That's awesome. Thank you. What about you, Desi? Well, you know, I was off this weekend. I went out to McMinnville to the cabin. Yeah.

And just hung out with my family. We had a great time. I love that. I went to a new restaurant. New restaurant in McMinnville. Very exciting. Where is McMinnville? It's on a on a map. If you're just looking at it, it's like halfway in between here and Chattanooga. Okay, but if you're actually driving, it's you know, way off the interstate, kind of in the middle of nowhere. It's hard to get to. But I went to this restaurant, and I'm gonna try to tell you the story rather quickly. But see if it makes sense to. But I went to this restaurant and I'm gonna try to tell you this story rather quickly, but see if it makes sense to you.

We went to this restaurant, me and my wife and two kids, and we show up, no reservation, but it's 5 p.m. We thought, that's not a big deal. And they asked, do we have a, well, we walk in, there's no sign to say, wait for the host, and there's no sign that says, seat yourself. So we just stand there and I can see the hostess. She looks at us, she makes eye contact with us.

I go, I know that's the hostess, but she doesn't come over. Then the phone starts ringing and she comes over, she answers the phone. She says, hey to us, but then answers the phone. And then she takes a reservation, which we did not note at the time, but it came to us later.

She took a reservation for a party of three at six. We're there at five. And then she seems confused about where to seat us. And then the server comes over and he goes, hi, he goes, the table we're thinking about sitting you at is open, but we got a reservation at six. So we don't want you to feel rushed. And I'm kind of being sarcastic with the guy,

but I'm like, if you don't want us to eat here, we won't eat here. And he goes, no, I want you to eat here. I just, I don't want you to feel rushed. And I go, okay, well that's making us feel rushed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. By saying that. So we went somewhere else.

They let us leave. If I owned a restaurant, if I even worked at a restaurant, I would have been like, now, let's get you in and let's move it. We'll just make sure. And so we walked to another restaurant that we've been to a bunch of times. Begonia's very good restaurant. And we ate there. And then I paid and my receipt said five fifty nine.

That's when we were done. So we walked to another restaurant, ordered eight, paid by 5.59. And then we just realized later that we were like, the 6 PM reservation that you had that was rushing us, you just took. We were here before the phone call. You took, I wish that I had noticed it while I was in the restaurant. You should have walked back into that restaurant. Hey, it's 5.59. I'm done eating. We did walk back by it on the way back to our car and both the waiter and the hostess saw us because I looked the whole time. You did that icon. Like when you drive past somebody

who, who like really sped up and cut you off and you like look at him with eyes. Yeah. They saw us. So the next day we call to make a reservation for 6 p.m. You're going back, okay. This is a three day event for us. So we called and we tried to make a reservation at six and they were like, well, you know, we're all booked up at six. We go, what about five?

And they go, yeah, no problem. So they got no problem making a reservation at five when they have reservations at six, but just don't walk in. I don't want you to feel rushed. So you took the five? We did and then we canceled. And we'll show them. Well, we canceled because we decided not to go out to eat. Okay. And then we went back on Sunday at 11 a.m. when they opened.

And we did. We made a reservation. Was it worth hype? It was OK. Yeah. In the end, it was OK. I mean, at this point, I think you gave them more trouble than they gave you. Well, yeah. Well, I'm I can be difficult. Yeah, because I've waited tables a lot. So I don't like to I can't handle when people aren't doing things the right way. Yeah, I can't difficult. Cause I've waited tables a lot. So I don't like to, I can't handle

when people aren't doing things the right way. I can't handle it. You did wait tables? Yeah. For how long? Well, eight years at one restaurant. And then I'd say two at another. Oh, that's a good chunk of time at one restaurant.

Yeah. I did, I waited tables as well, but I bounced around. I was at every kitchen in the town. I have a hard time getting one restaurant. Yeah. I did. I waited tables as well, but I bounced around. Yeah. I was at every kitchen in the town. I have a hard time getting a job, you know, so when I get it, I keep it. People don't want to hire me. Well, so when I get it, I'm, I keep it. Well, you've kept this job for a long time. I know I can't give it up. And don't you have a joke where you say people ask you all the time, can we be in and out an hour? Well, they say 30, 30 minutes.

I don't I forget the joke. But yeah, at least under an hour. You want to tell us about Mountain Dew? Yeah, sure. Do I can't wait. I've been waiting on this the whole time. You know what we all need to get more of? Get off our butts and get into some action. And it's fun to do that with Mountain Dew.

With bold flavors and refreshing citrus kick, Mountain Dew will get you off the sofa and have you feeling like you're charging up the side of an actual mountain. A mountain where the weather is perfect, your friends are ready to hang, and a full day of epic games are happening.

Can you imagine? Check out all these flavors. Original, Baja Blast, Code Red, Voltage, my personal favorite, Baja Blast. When I'm on tour, I love to get out on the town and explore. I don't like to just sit around all day waiting for my shell. So I go explore what I can. Having the refreshing Mountain Dew is always the best part. Mountain Dew contains 0% juice and I hate juice.

Mountain Dew is calling, you should answer. Grab your friends, grab an ice cold Mountain Dew wherever refreshing beverages are sold and do the do. That was good. That was, dare I say, flawless. I got tripped up a little bit. No, no, flawless. I felt good about it. Let's start with you guys comments. Uh, I'll tell you what. I think it's crazy. I didn't know we had Mountain Dew. I know. That's the real... You've been gone for three weeks and the podcast got rednecked up in here. I mean that's the real deal right there. Vanderbilt started beating Alabama and we had to get some Mountain Dew going on.

You come in A lot of Vandy. What's up? Hello folks. Hey bear the listeners now don't know that he's so dressed up in Vanderbilt gear I mean, this is yeah, I got all the Andy on I think I think we're gonna talk a lot about Vandy and well now next week. Okay, I was gonna say definitely SNL. I got a lot of questions and comments But since we play Texas this week, yeah, maybe we should go ahead and mention them a little bit We can talk about Vandy. Uh, it's a big deal. You know, big deal this angel I mean, I've seen you talking about it giving them good shoutouts at the end of Saturday Night Live and making sure everybody knows big big deal. Didn't beat Kentucky, Ball State.

Uh, but yeah, that win is the biggest win I think I've seen. Even college world series was so big and not to take anything from that. But, uh, even, I mean, beating the Tennessee, it's just like, uh, you've crushed Alabama. It made me think we can win a national championship. You've crushed their spirit. The door, the door is open. That's just like, uh, you've crushed Alabama. I say what? It made me think we can win a national championship. You've crushed their spirit. The door, the door is open. That's all we needed. Once I saw that I go, we can, I mean, we should have beat Missouri, should have beat Georgia state. We could be top 10. We could be number one in the country right now. We should have been. We should have been. Yeah, we should have been. Alabama can't beat a team from the state of Tennessee.

That's right. Yeah, that's right. Now, Dusty, I meant to mention this last week. Two weeks ago, you said on this podcast, these guys go on these talk shows and make these sports predictions and get it wrong. They should be fired. Did I say fired or held accountable? I think. I think you maybe even said fired. I might have said fired. And then you said- Get fired once in a while. Vanderbilt against Kentucky. There's no way Vanderbilt will beat Kentucky.

Followed up with that so. Well I'm not a sports commentator but yeah I mean I listen. But if you were fired. I don't know where Vanderbilt came from but nobody saw that coming and I don't think it's fair to hold anybody to those standards. We all knew it was coming. I mean it's like. We all knew it was coming. Coach Lee, we're killing it. I walked by a TV and I saw Vanderbilt was beating Alabama. And I thought, well, that's crazy. I mean, this will turn around obviously, but that's crazy that they're even beating them.

Yeah. Yeah. And then they won. And I think if Texas had beaten Georgia and state number one college game, they may have come to Nashville I think so too. There was some talk of it. Yeah, there was I thought I thought they would too because we'd be it'd be a big game But then I saw they're going to India and it's a Corso's it's Corso's old team. So I kind of figured like they're undefeated. They maybe were going there from the get-go

So but it's yeah, it's I mean look as a vanity fan, it'sgo. So, but it's, yeah, it's, I mean, look, as a Vandy fan, it's crazy. I was watching it. I was doing a dress rehearsal for Saturday Live When It's On. I was watching on the phone, you know, knowing it Saturday Live understood, but I was excited. Knowing, I walked out in the dress rehearsal and I go, I go, Vandy Beat Alabama, said it to the crowd. And it got nothing so much that I was like, for the live, I go, well, I'm not gonna say it now. And I said, I think I said a big day for Nashville. But it was that, you know when you think,

you're like, I'm gonna go out there. It's almost like you think people, you're like, everybody knows I'm a Vandy fan. Then you got there, you say it, and everyone's like, I don't even know what any of that means. Yeah. It's almost the biggest upset in college football that I can remember in my whole life. Alabama just beat Georgia, became number one and loses to Vanderbilt. Yeah.

Yeah. It was a perfect setup. I don't know if it's Appalachian state beat Michigan. Yeah. That was pretty wild. And that was at a time where that was the first one where nobody know they were division two or they were one double a one double a one double a beat Michigan at Michigan. Wow. Wow.

That's pretty intense. All right. But yeah, next week we'll do a lot of SNL talk next year or next week. Yeah. Next year, next week. Yeah. Next year when I come back on the show. I wasn't supposed to be back today, but I figured it out and I did miss coming back here. I had to change a lot of the comments because there were a lot of Brian heavy ones about how

great a job I'm doing. Just holding this, strapping it down. We've got Mountain Dew now. Fancy Nancy Bergbauer. Bergebauer. Fancy Nancy. Do I switch my page? Oh, it's right here. I just saw you guys start riffling with your page.

I was like, what page are we on? I miss this. I shuffle around. Okay. All right. I'm here. Oh, yeah. Okay. This has been a hilarious episode. It's probably more obvious to me as a listener that the biggest difference in the cultures of California versus the South was the actual pace of the show. Dustin wanted to speed things up while Brian and Dusty were fine with laid back. Thank y'all for making my birthday happier. Happy birthday, Fancy Nancy. Angela, you would be perfect for this. Well, I was gonna say, can I comment

to her comment? No, I'm sorry. We gotta move on. Talk about Vanderbilt. Yeah, we're going back to the Vanderbilt being Alabama. We wish we could help you. What are you gonna do?? No, I would have to agree just with this, just in this moment, how you guys are like super chill and then it's like long pause. My heart beats faster and I'm like, somebody say a word. Somebody say a word. That's what Dustin said too. Yeah. And it's so, I don't know.

I think we're cause it's like this, but that's something I've always said about you and your standup as well is something that I've admired and I'm like, oh, I could never do is you rest in those pauses and those quiet moments. And like, that's where I feel like you get more confident when it gets silent. And that's where I go, say something like, it does build confidence. Yeah. But I don't think I rest as much as you think I do. My head, I'm, uh, in my head, I'm, in my head I'm not. Okay.

Like, you know how like in your, you know, like the pauses, I'm going to naturally just pause because I talk slower. But in my head, I feel pain. Oh, interesting. I would never ever imagine that. Yeah. And so you just kind of like, I'm actually trying to get a little better at sitting in it a little bit more,

like letting a joke like really resonate. Sometimes I can be, I'll stay on top of it too much and it's a bunch and I'm trying to like for this next hour, like let it sit for, but it feels like, you know when you're on stage, you feel like if you move, like if you just wave your hand, it feels like you're up there going. You didn't act out. Yeah. And you're just waving your hand.

So everything's amplified. So no matter what, it's still going to probably feel crazy. But it's good to know that it looks like that. It totally does. And I think that's probably you guys feel fine with like, then it'll get quiet for a second. And I'm like, dead air, dead air. Yeah. I like a quiet podcast you know I like a lot I don't even notice the dead air yeah I think the fans like it yeah you and Dustin can go on back where you came from. Apparently I will just. No I'm saying they want they don't want to hear from you. Oh yeah that was the joke.

Look who's back baby! I just got through telling them I had to do an hour 20 Thursday night. Oh, they told you to do an hour. All right. Let me rephrase. I didn't have to do an hour 20. I felt like I had to. The host, they didn't have a host of first. I didn't have anybody. They showed the guys.

And he did. The guy showed up and he goes, yeah, I'm going to do 10 or 15. Then I got to go. And then he did 10 and I did an hour 20. Why did you not just do an hour? I was going to, my goal was just to make sure I did at least an hour. And it just goes good. And just kept going.

Yeah. And you know, I want to give them their money's worth. Give them their money's worth. That's what I'm saying. Make them go, when is this going to be over? That was about 30 minutes in. I think. $7 hour 20 minutes.

If you add that together, I think they got more than there was. Yeah. Made a little money. I think they might've got a $10, $15 show. Right? Hello, Brian Baker. Yeah. They had their own door deal. Yeah. Yeah. Because that's of it. A little Brian Baker right here. They hit their own door deal.

Yeah, because that's what you should tell them when you get done. They hit their bonus. That was an $18 show, I gave it to you for eight. Yeah. How dare you come not laugh at all these jokes. That's great, hour 20 is great. I don't know if I've ever even done an hour 20.

I think I did it one time at a lock-in. You know the lock-in things that they do at schools? Like it was in Maine and they had like a... Oh like universities? Yeah. Like bumper boats and they had all this stuff. So they had a lock-in so the high school kids could only stay in this thing. So they have a party they have to do it here Yeah, and I did a show there and I think I did like an hour 20 because it was just like and they couldn't live No, I couldn't leave I was in the corner There was really no like it was just like one of the things was a comedian was in this room

And so it was I was young too I was like, you know, where, and it was the only time I did like an hour, I was up there for like an hour or 20. Cause it was just, but it was, I mean, stories. No, no, no, no one is quiet. You, it would take you a second. I would say if you walked in the room, it would take you a minute to find me. That's how much movement I didn't have a stage. I didn't have, I was just in like a comedy booth. Yeah.

Walk by and get some comedy. Some people would sit there and I would talk to them. You know, it's just where you're just kind of hanging out. So did you do hour 20? I mean, hour 20 scares, like that scares me. Yeah. I mean, if they told me ahead of time you're doing hour 20, I would have been scared. Yeah, I guess that's true.

But I just went, that's why I was calling you. I've done 75, yeah. Thursday night because I'm about to say, guess what I just did. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. Is all came out? How old you go? Yeah. Material wise. It all came out. I did some of Dusty's. I go hourly. Yeah, you get me like that hour, it's like, you need to do a show and then you're like, I had to do it. You get me like that hour. It's like, you know, you do a show and then you're like, I had to do it. And you kind of think of how far did you go? You're like 15 year. Yeah. Easy 15 year joke. Oh, I did a Q and a. Did you? Some guy asked, does Dusty smell funny? Yeah. Did anybody ask how long is this show? After that guy asked that question, I think that was the next question.

How long are you going to keep going? Well, I hope you kicked that guy out of the show. No, I loved it. I was trying to fill time. I think Dusty smells great. Yeah. What's a guy made by funny? What kind of shampoo do you use? Well, head and shoulders today. I switch it up though. Oh, okay.

Depends on, you know, depends on the day. Sure. Do you and your wife do different shampoos or you just share a shampoo? She doesn't do head and shoulders. She has her own like girly shampoo. Yeah. Do you ever use hers?

Sometimes, yeah. My husband has a lot of hair. Yeah. Oh look, that's another thing we have in common. You have a lot of hair, my husband has a lot of hair. So like your wife's husband has a lot of hair. We were talking about the things we have in common earlier. We're born a week apart.

Not even a week. And so our kids are born same day. Right? We said same day. About a week apart too. Fourteenth. Fourteenth. Nineteenth. Okay, okay, okay.

And y'all are born a week apart? Yeah. Four days, right? Four days. Are y'all the same age? Yeah. 82. I'm four days younger than she is.

82 years old. Yeah. But my husband has a lot of hair. And when he uses my product, I get mad. Because I'm like, younger than she is. She's 82 years old. Yeah, but my husband has a lot of hair and when he uses my product, oh, I get mad. Cause I'm like, bro, that's like a dime. I only use a dime amount of this expensive product and he'll be like, shh, shh. I use so much shampoo. I use a lot of shampoo.

Yeah, you all need to come here with me. I can go through one bottle a year. Uh, you just use the leftover you have in soap. You just go, all right. You just put it up there. Yeah, I mean, I took a shower today. I'll put a ton in. Yeah.

I love a lot of shampoo. Yeah. Really loud. I never understood a dime. You're like, what are you, out of your mind? I go. That's what I'm saying. I use half a toothpaste.

I think guys just, it's just, there's what I'm saying. He's half a toothpaste. I think guys just, it's just, there's no touch. Yeah. Okay, speaking of toothpaste. Yeah. Do you line your toothbrush like they do in the commercials with the whole line of toothpaste or do you give it like, just like a dot? I think I line it. I don't line.

I'm more like a dot. Yeah. Oh, you just do a dot on it? Just like, yeah, yeah. That's what I do. No, I do like a... I feel more like a dot. Yeah. Oh, you just do a dot on it? Yeah, yeah. That's what I do. Yeah, I probably, no, I do like a... I feel like if it was too much toothpaste, I would feel like I'm at the dentist with that little tool

and then it's like, they have to, you start drooling and it's gross, like it's too much. I feel like I would be like, ugh, too much toothpaste on my mouth. Yeah. But you line it, huh? I line it. Interesting.

Load it up. Arden G, Arden G. Cultural differences featuring three white guys. Well, that's why we have Angela here today. Hey, Arden. But hey, we all got cultural differences. Yeah, I think we all are from different cultures. Yeah. Yeah. That's the certainly.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, I mean, I grew up in a trailer park in Alabama and Dustin Nickerson grew up in Washington state. Yeah. But he grew up pretty crazy too, right? Didn't he? I don't know.

Yeah. I think Nickerson did too. Yeah. I'd say that's pretty different. Well, that's when, you know, when your cultures, it starts getting into, cause you, as, you know, it's not the 1600s. Yeah. Well, that's when you know when your cultures, it starts getting into, because you as you know, it's not the 1600s. Right. So it gets into like if you're in America, you're like you could be suburb, you know, trailer park. The culture could be very different. It doesn't have to be ethnicity culture.

I get the joke. We're going for here. I get the joke. All right. And I get it. Fun joke. Yeah. They're eating different things, but none of them have money. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. We couldn't afford to get our almonds shipped across the country and he had them right there.

Yeah. Oh. A lot of hot dogs. Peggy Karp. The laid-back vibe on Nightland is the main reason I tune into the podcast. It's an enjoyable change after all the rapid fire stuff you usually get. See? This is what they love.

And for my money, Dusty is the most courteous guy on the show and the least apps to interrupt. Oh, apps of word. Almost at appointment. Least appointment to interrupt. Oh, apps a word. Mm-hmm. Uh, I'm almost at appointment. At least appointment to interrupt. Oh gosh, this com- And the funniest. Keep on keeping. That's what I'm talking about. Keep on keeping on, Dusty.

People say I interrupt all the time. I'm just trying to talk. It's four people. I'm just trying to say things. And so, thanks, Peggy. Appreciate that. Wow. That's a big boost for you. Yeah. Feel good. And so thanks, Peggy. I appreciate that. Wow. That's a big boost.

Very nice. Yeah. Feel good. I feel good now. Yeah. After the guy wondered if I smelled funny. You know, it's funny. He didn't, no reason for him to say that.

That's true. That is true. That is true. I could have stayed in Virginia. Yeah. You know, that was a him and some of his hour 20s leaking over into this. And the reason she's saying he's courteous is because last week someone commented that Dusty is mean to me. They think I'm mean to Brian. I'm like,

I'm the nicest guy to Brian on this podcast. That's for sure. I think they thought you were Nate. No, my meanness is through love. Yeah. Mine is shown through love. You do not want to be near Brian. I hate him through kindness. Yes. It's like the saying bless your heart. Yeah. It's a little bless your heart where you go like I don't know if he means that. Yeah. That's true. Alexis J. Alexis, yeah. I appreciate the teamwork of everyone while Nate is out doing what we all need

to make the entertainment world a cleaner, better world for family-friendly comedy. Great work, Brian and Dusty. Thank you very much. Your listeners are so supportive. They are. I love that. I know, it's nice today.

Yeah, we're out there. We got some stuff. We got, it's moving. Well done. Hopefully. And then I'll come crumble on it. It's all stupid. Can you, you wanna talk about it next week

or can you even talk about it? Oh, what I got going on? Yeah. No, we're taping CBS Christmas special stuff this week. So I'll be doing that all week. One thing is taped, but I can't announce it. Not, you know, I have come out this Christmas Eve. I don't know if I've been here since. Special comes out Christmas Eve. Book? The book. Hey, got a book. Yeah. So book. But yeah, we got

comments about all that. Yeah, okay. Gosh, you're so boring. We got a lot of stuff. It's like, Nate Land Productions is going to be a part of a bunch of stuff. I love that. So we're going to be doing big things. Alexis had a line where she said, this podcast should be called Bateland.

And Abby took it out because she said I was getting the big head. I was getting arrogant. But I still want to get it out there. Bateland almost sounds like you're like catfishing. Like you're bringing people in. You think you're getting Nate, but you get Brian. Yeah, I think a lot of people felt that way. This guy again.

He's on his way, folks. He should be here. Josh Horton. I've been married to my wife Courtney for almost six years. Her sister's roommate does nails for a living. I have heard this nail salon bit many times and I always thought it was hilarious since I joked that they came up with. Today I found out they've been quoting a 2006 Angela Johnson bit this whole time. My mind is blown and I look forward to listening to more of Angela's material.

All right. Thank you, Josh. Yeah, get caught up, Josh. Where you been? Well, I mean, it's probably like, man, my wife is hilarious. It's so funny. Have you guys met my wife? She does.

You should do comedy, babe. I go, it's just the story's so tight. It's just blown away. You and your sister came up with this? It's really polished. Yeah. No pun intended. That's pretty good. Thank you. Yeah. Carrie Knowlton, the South has soul, the West Coast has vibes. I like that. Yeah, I like it. I agree with that. I'll take that. So you go to the West Coast when you're young

and then move here to die. Here I am. Here I am. Yeah, when you wanna slow it down. Hope you had fun out there, Angela. Cause you're bringing it down, down here. You're going to sit with us and learn about Paul's pausing. Slow it down some.

Sit on the front porch in a rocking chair. Yeah. I mean, that does sound amazing. I love that. It is. I love that slower pace life. I just have to learn how to like sit in it and be okay with it.

We would sit on the front porch of my dad's house, he would chew tobacco and spit off the side of the porch and we would just watch cars go by. A lot of fun. Yeah. His house was also on wheels. So we could go, you know, we could get on the road too. So we could go, you know, we could get on the road too. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a tough name. Yeah, that's like, sounds like if their name is Jaren Gaines. Yeah, it sounds like you're saying it wrong. Like it slipped it.

Yeah. Jaren Gaines. Yeah, I bet that happens. They go, hi, I'm Jaren Gaines. Everyone's like, what? Are you sure? Yeah. Yeah, I wonder if theyes. Everybody's like, what? Are you sure? Yeah. Yeah, I wonder if they just think.

They go, what? Are you sure? Yeah. Garen? Garen. Your name's Garen? Garen. Dusty, I wear shorts to church

just because people like you tell me not to. Do you dress up all the time because a relationship with God should be more than just a church on Sunday Oh, I mean I say don't wear shorts at all. Yeah, this is Viori. Yeah, there is some toot in that Yeah, I had to do this with my neck while I was listening to it because it was tootie Garen well Angela again I want to ask you because we had a discussion last week a little bit of debate how you should dress for church Dustin

West Coast said come as as you are, laid back. We're like, no, act like you care to be there. No, I'm gonna have to ride with Dustin on this one. And maybe that's the West Coast cultural thing. But then I feel like this. No soul. What happened? No soul, just vibes.

As long as you come in a vibe, then you're fine. What happens if you come in your Sunday's best, but your Sunday's best are like not that great, but it's what you can afford. And then somebody's gonna be like, can you show the Lord some respect? I'm sorry, these are the only shoes I have. Everybody always goes that angle, you know?

Okay. But I bet Garin James, James has some pants. He probably has pants he's don't wanna wear. I don't know, you don't know his upbringing. He spent his pant money on a computer. He might not come from a family of doesn't have pants. Yeah, I mean, you know, I will say they're not even sponsoring this week,

but Viore did change my whole opinion on wearing shorts. I'm not a shorts guy, But the only shorts look good. The only shorts are great. And they're comfortable. Yeah. But the ones with the liner in it are... But I just think, I don't know, in church I just feel like you should wear some pants,

you know, cover your legs up. Yeah. I hear that. I will say the thing that bothered, like there is a too casual to me in public. When I see people at the airport, you're not even in church, you're not even a holy place When I see people at the airport, you're not even church, you're not even a holy place, you're just at the airport, but you're in

your pajamas and slippers, that blows my mind. Like full-grown adults. Pajamas and slippers. I'm like... Yeah, that's a generation thing. They're getting... Because I agree, our churches now too, they're a lot cooler than they were when we grew up. So when we grew up, you did, you wore a tie, you wore all the stuff, you dressed very nice. In the South. You'd wear your church clothes. That's what it's the same. And then, but I would say even churches now, a lot in the South, the newer ones are, you know, they can wear very athletic-y

type stuff. Matter of fact, Sunday after that game, I bet there was a lot of Vanderbilt in church. Oh yeah. Yeah, I was one of them. Yeah. But I think I do like the idea of, I like the, I always liked the idea of dressing up more.

I'm more of a pants guy too for, cause it is just at least a little more, it looks, I think it looks better. But yeah, I don't know. I wish, at the airport, I agree, it's like people are out of control. Like it needs to like put some dress up. You feel better.

That's like psychology. I think that's like- Get dressed. Yeah, I tell you to get dressed. You're just wearing stuff that you could go to bed in. You could sleep in it. Yeah, I think that's what some of their mindset is. I'm just gonna get on that plane. I'm just gonna go to bed in, you could sleep in it. Yeah, I think that's what some of their mindset is. I'm just gonna get on that plane,

I'm just gonna go to sleep. But it's like, just go to sleep in your jeans. Yeah, and they make jeans that you can sleep in them. Yeah. This isn't... Yeah. Like there's a hundred different pairs of jeans you can buy, or even just wear,

I mean, I always say golf stuff was a big, wear golf stuff. You can wear golf stuff You can look nice. You can athleisure where athleisure where? Yeah. Yeah I'm always looking to improve my golf game Hit the ball Straighter further not having to worry about trying to hit everything perfect to make a good shot all of it So I headed over to, for a fitting

of PXG and upgraded my clubs. PXG is great. I've used PXG's now for, so they're Gen 7's. I got them, they're great. They got the back of them, but it's in the golf. They look very slick. They usually PXG would have like kind of a silver then a black and these are all silver. And I just really like how they look. A thing that I just did, I used my PXG's. I can't say what it is, but there's a... I had them all there. They got a great new driver too. It really looks like the Taylor made the Sim driver the Sim driver for all the golfers out there. PHG, it's a great thing.

Ten years in the makings, Gen 7 irons are the greatest leap forward in technology and performance in PHG history. PHG Gen 7 irons are the first irons to push ball speed to the official USGA limit.

Rachel Dallas. That's a good name. Rachel Dallas. That's a good name. Rachel Dallas? Yeah. Yeah. I like a Dallas as a last name. Yeah. That's like a name.

She doesn't have to ever say anything. You know, you're just like, my name's Rachel Dallas. I bet you have to, she has trouble with Rachel some, but. I just would think. I would question the Dallas immediately. I would go, what? Yeah. And then she'd have to go, Dallas.

Go where you're from. Oh, OK. What if she introduced herself as Miss Dallas? That would even be more. What year did you win it? Yeah. You go, this is during COVID. I didn't hear about this one.

I didn't hear about this one. I totally agree with Dusty on European versus American food. We visited Switzerland this summer and that was one major thing we noticed. We ate all kinds of food, never felt bloated or had a stomach ache. We have also heard of people who can't eat bread in the US, but can eat it without problems in Europe. Yep. That's what I'm talking about. Angela gets it. That's my husband. Oh my gosh.

When we went to Europe, my husband has really sensitive stomach issues. And so like if he eats, he won't travel anywhere. He has to stay close to a bathroom. Like that's how sensitive his stomach is. And when we were in Europe, he didn't have to worry about any of that. We would eat and then just continue walking.

He slept better. He actually like slept more than five hours. Their food, it was just different. We were like, wow. And then as soon as we got back, it was back to the same old thing. And they could do that here. They just have to stop putting poison in there.

Yeah. But not gonna happen. Unless me and Dusty keep talking about there. Yeah. Yeah. But not gonna happen unless me and Dusty keep talking about it. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Dusty is a combination of you and Manny, like you said. I mean, he's just, both of y'all rolled into one. Yeah.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. I got, yeah. Yeah, I got stomach issues. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But there's a whole thing out there- But Dusty ain't going to Europe. No, probably not. There's a whole thing out there. Dusty ain't going to Europe. Probably not.

There's a whole thing like, you know, there's like memes out there where it's like talking about, like, knowing this is going to hurt my stomach, but eating it anyway. That's me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm like, I know this is gonna I'm eating fried chicken out here and I know what it's gonna do to me. But totally. Like, I want them to get all the bad chemicals out of the foods, the processed foods,

start frying the chips with like actual like good oils that you can, like there's certain brands of chips that you can get a tortilla chip, but it's fried in beef tallow instead of one of these seed oils that can cause lots of harm and hormone disrupting and all of that. But they're like $35 for a bag of chips. And you're like, who can afford that?

That's stupid. I will not buy that just in protest. I'm not gonna do that. But at the same time, within the same breath, oh, I love me some flame hot Cheetos. Like, don't come from a flame hot Cheetos. But those have the most chemicals of any chemical ever. Like they're just so poison and they're delicious.

You got to get Angela on the podcast more often. Yeah. It's like I'm just listening to Dusty 210 here. Yeah, some backup around here. Wow. Steven Dillon, a taco truck in California is healthier than most restaurants you go to, all fresh ingredients typically purchased that morning. Delicious.

Yeah. Yeah, I bet so. Yeah. I always think that, I think I did a joke once in Portland, like it's, cause the people were like, why are you going to Applebee's? And then you go eat at a food truck. Some guys that's been sitting in a Honda cord for four days and you're like, Applebee's is bad.

And you're like, well, I don't know. It depends on the food truck. Sometimes you see a food truck, you're like, I don't know if they're getting all their stuff that morning. Yeah, and then it's also like that thing where you know you're eating poison, but you're gonna do it anyway type of thing. That's like coming out of a venue,

an arena, a game or a concert. And they have the hot dogs on the little carts out there. I'm getting one. Big and Rap Hot Dog, believe it. Yes, two please. Yeah, I have a big problem. I have the biggest problem. I've done good today.

Yeah, it's, yeah. You gotta wrap your head around. I'm trying to wrap my head around like, you know, it's the way alcohol would make you feel, where it makes you feel bad. Like you can kind of see the poison in it. And it's hard to do it with food because you got to eat. And so now it's like trying to like wrap my head around like, well, this does not make me feel good. I don't feel good quickly. I don't, you know, I feel bad the next day. It's, yeah, it's like just trying to constantly,

anything you're about to eat, like what is this? Almost looking at it, like what is this gonna make me feel like? Yeah. I try to ask myself, does this have nutritional value? You know, and if it doesn't, I try to not eat it. But that doesn't mean I don't always do it. Well, do Cheetos have?

Well, I don't eat Cheetos. I mean, that's. That's my guilty pleasure. I haven't had them in a very long time, but that every now and then, like if we're having a birthday party or it's game day, we're having a bunch of people over, I'll be like, just in case anybody wants some,

let me get it. And really it's just for me, so I can eat them. And there also is a thing too, I say that, but then there also is like, all right, I be like, just in case anybody wants some, let me get it. And really it's just for me, so I can eat them. And there also is a thing too, I say that, but then there also is like, all right, I'm like, but this is a dessert, right? So I've decided that this is not okay, but I'm just gonna enjoy this because it is a dessert. So if it's food, I try to be like,

does this have value to me? Yeah. You know? Mm-hmm. Okay. Not that I'm successful all the time. I'm just saying. I do ask myself that.

Yeah. Sometimes I say no and then I do it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm proud of you. Thank you. Marshall Barker. Marshall Barker.

Another one, sounds wrong. Marshall Barker. It's hard to say and it sounds wrong. Sounds like from the Paw Patrol. Once you start Marshall, you already kind. Marshall Barker. It's hard to say and it sounds wrong. Sounds like from the Paw Patrol. Once you start Marshall you already kind of said Barker. Yeah. It feels like you're already, you're like Marshall-er and you're done. It's almost the only last name it could have been. Marshall Barker. He couldn't have even been like a Marshall Jensen. That'd be like what? Marshall Barker. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, he's fired up. It's the name that...

Dusty, I wonder if there's a chance that your sister is wrong. The people of her small town somehow. Maybird Town's folks are super nice to everybody with the exception of her. I don't think so, but... Because I will say some of the small town... Like small town Alabama, it's like sometimes, you know, you, you, you, you feel like you're going to get this real Southern hospitality and it's just going to be real polite and

nice, but it's not really always that way. The backstory is his sister went with him to LA and she said everyone out there was so nice in LA, nicer than Alabama. Yeah. And she was shocked by that. She really enjoyed it. Yeah. And she was shocked. Yeah. By that. She really enjoyed it. Yeah. And, um, I like Beverly Hills though.

We did well, Louis Vuitton. I'll tell you what, that's something they offered me water. Well, she did get a little better experience, I think, than just maybe just going out there, you know, on her own. Right. She went to, we went to eat with my manager, I think your manager, Judy. And I was with Judy.

Okay. Yeah. And we went and she loved Judy. She was like, she just, you know, I don't think my sister would consider herself a feminist, but she really loves seeing, seeing a woman take control. Yeah. She was like, I love this. Judy just makes it happen. She loves it. That's cool. And yeah, she got into it. That's the thing about you the most about Judy. Very interesting. Now I love it too, but he says, he goes, well, what if you have to call a man?

But no, she loved it. That was a dusty joke, Angela. I had nothing to do with it. I assumed. Sometimes I just jump in knowing that I'm out of context, but I'm like, ha ha, yep. Yeah. We're having a good time, guys. Yeah. Jen John 4. I started Angela Johnson's Say I Won't special while at Costco. Okay.

That was a mistake. As I'm walking through laughing, or looking at laundry soap, I'm busting out laughing. Those around were confused on why I was finding all these products so funny. I had to put my hair behind my ears so people could know I'm not crazy

just really listening to something through the store. Her bit on how to text the difference levels of funny was spot-on. Thank you Jen John for. She might have seen you at Costco. Don't you go to Costco? I love it yeah I have a whole bit about Costco and my Say I Want Special and I absolutely love Costco. I think people have seen me at Costco at Target at other stores at TJ Maxx and then I'll see comments sometimes and people think I'm mean because I have RBF. My face just looks mean.

If I'm not actively smiling, my resting face, I just look like I'm mad. And so people have like said that, like I saw her, but she didn't look very nice. Like I don't wanna say anything. I was like, oh, you should say hi. And then I'll put my smile on. But until then, I'm reading a package

to see what chemicals are in it. Come say hi, cause I'll phone it in right to your face. Hi, I'm Angela Johnson. Thanks for watching my special. Come say hi. Yeah, no, yeah, I could see. Yeah, because you're it's hard when you're you're going out and you're like, you're in your own zone. Yeah, I'm in my own zone. I forget that people know who I am. I'm just minding my own business and then like, and if I'm frustrated not at people, but just at whatever I'm going on in my own life, they're like,

she looks like this or that and I was like, oh no, so I was just arguing with my husband right now. My bad. I was just on in my own life. They're like, she looks like this or that. And I was like, oh no, sorry. I was just arguing with my husband right now. My bad. I was just being a human. Yeah. Getting more shampoo, because the husband used it all. Exactly.

That's why we're arguing. Yeah. Kelly Rae Russell, hotel rooms have demons, is the truest thing ever said on this podcast. Dusty does it again. Boom. It is dark in some of these hotels, that's for sure.

But you felt like maybe there was some actual demons coming at you. I mean, that's what you said last week. In a specific hotel room? Well, there is a certain brand of hotel that every time I stay there, feels real weird in there. You don't wanna say the brand? No, cause I stay at some of their other hotel,

they have a, it's a big brand. It's just this one particular brand that I'll buy them. It's really weird. It's very nice. It's like, no, but. Interesting. I don't know. I don't know if I want to say it.

Yeah, you don't say it, but I am curious. What? Some of it is a hotel I don't say it, but I am curious. What? I checked out. Some of the, it's a hotel. I love me. That just, there's one particular chain. Now there's an umbrella, you know, and they have a bunch of different hotels

and not all of their hotels are like this. You know, you think they're all haunted. The one brand, I don't know if it's haunted, but it's something, I never sleep good in there. I always feel like I get woke up by something. Why, can we, if we guess it, can we? Well, it would, yeah, I mean, it'd be a, probably take a lot of guessing to get it.

Oh, it would? I would think, cause I don't mean like, it's like. He stays at fancy boutique hotels. I have a theory. Okay. This is my theory on this limited context that you've given, but I still have formed a theory about it because I know like a big conglomerate

will have all these different ones. There's like, you know, this like trendy one where you walk in and it's like super modern. And then there's like a residence in type and they have a full kitchen. And then there's like, whatever, there's all these different ones. So each one of those speaks to a different person who's

gonna want to stay there, right? So the person who wants this modern trendy vibe it probably isn't gonna want to want this other like corporatey whatever vibe. So whatever hotel you're talking about I would think about like what kind of audience are they speaking to and bringing in here? Is it like the big party crowds? Maybe there's you're walking into a room where there was just like some partying happening in there and you're got that residual energy that you're walking into. I think you're right. I think you're right. Kempton. No, no, no, it's not. It's not real obscure. But I mean, that's that was

perfectly obscure. Yeah. What's I don't even know Kimpton. You guys are fancy though. Is Kimpton's the, isn't that just the ones that are kind of like, they're kind of different, they're kind of their own thing. Is Kimpton their own thing? Yeah. Or are they bought by somebody now? I don't know that. I don't know.

Could we, would we know what it is? I think you would. Yeah, for sure. I mean, they're out there, but I've stayed at three different ones. And you say the cities ever. Well, I say one in Albany. Okay. One in Springfield, Missouri. Okay. And one in, I believe outside of Baltimore. What is that? All right. So three pretty big spots. What is that? And it's a trendy. Yeah. Modern one. Uh, not a loft. Uh, I mean, if we're just going to, I should just say it if we're going to guess.

No, hold on. Let's see if we can guess it. I think I know. I mean, is it the, uh, I'm about to say people are listening to this. What is you, what are you going to say? No, I'm just saying we've been doing guessing for a while. Yeah. Uh, see, is it something see? It's not, we're not going no C's at all. Actually no C's at all. No C's at all. But it's trendy.

But it's- I would say it's a bit trendy and uh, it's a bigger chain, but this is kind of a, it's kind of a trendy version of it. Uh huh. Uh huh. They love to put up signage for the city that they're in. They love to really express it. While we're thinking about it, why don't you tell us about Rocket Money?

Alright. Okay. Most Americans think they spend about $62 per month on subscriptions, but the real number is closer to $300. That's a big difference. Even if it's just a couple of subscriptions far off your radar, those reoccurring payments you don't even know about can really add up. Thanks to rocket money, I'm no longer losing money because of subscriptions I forgot about rocket money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. I love how the dashboard shows me this month's spending compared to last month so I can clearly see my spending habits. Plus, they'll help me create a custom budget and keep my spending on track.

Rocket Money has over 5 million users and has saved a total of $500 million in cancelled subscriptions, saving members up to $740 a year when using all of the app's features. Wow is right. Rocket Money will even try to negotiate lower bills for you, sometimes up to 20%. They automatically scan your bills to find opportunities to save. Then you can ask them to negotiate for you. They'll deal with customer service. Stop wasting money on things you don't use cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocket money.com slash Nate. That is rocket money.com slash Nate rocketoney.com slash Nate. Rocketmoney.com slash Nate.

Holiday Inn. Not a Holiday Inn. No. Well, it's a perfect segue to what we're talking about today, which is Ghost. Okay, but we got to get to the hotel. He doesn't want to say. No, we got to say now. What does it start with? I would say it starts with...

You would say it starts with... Well, you know, but depends on what... Okay, give us clues and we'll see who guesses it first. Yeah. Okay. All right. Let's see. It is the big chain starts with an H, but that's not... Okay, Hilton. Hilton. Hilton. I mean, maybe, but... Yeah. And... Name another one. So what's the trendy brand of Hilton?

I'm Marriott. I don't know. Mm hmm. I think I'm going to lose this game because I'm, I'm a Marriott Bonvoy member. I'm a Marriott. I like Marriott too. That's what I do. I do courtyard Marriott most of the time.

I feel very safe in those. From True Blue. Oh, very close. I didn't even know that was a hotel. Very close. Yeah. So close. I don't know if it's True Blue, but it's true.

True by Hilton, True by Hilton. I like Hilton. True by Hilton, something about it. I stay in there. I feel like my soul's being pulled away. At this place. True by Hilton. That's the one.

Yeah. Oh, that's it. Oh, yeah. You were not clear. I think you said very close. You said true blue. Yeah. Okay. I didn't know if that was a brand new. I was still guessing in my head. Yeah. Yeah. And I, you know, and maybe, uh, you know, maybe like I see the one in Springfield, brand new hotel, very nice. Everything was great. There was nothing they could have done to make it any better, except a coffee pot in the room. But other than that, it was very good. But something was happening to me in my sleep.

Oh, we're sponsored now. Interesting. Say it true. T-R-E, I always think of true TV every time I see it. Yeah. Moxie is a little... Ah, that's the one I was thinking. Moxie is a little sketchy too, but I've actually slept funny in the Moxie. I like the Mox it. Yeah. Moxie is a little... That's the one I was thinking. Moxie is a little sketchy too,

but I've actually slept fine in the Moxie. I like the Moxie. The rooms are like as big as this coffee cup, but they're fun. Micro Hotel can be a little shady, speaking of small rooms, that can be a little shady, but that's mainly just the people outside of the hotel.

Not really. I don't know if I know Micro Hotel. They're like, you know, it's like, if you get a brand new one, they're pretty good, but they'll they're just tiny. They're tiny, tiny rooms. Oh, I think you're working the road trying to save a little money. Micro tells a bit better than a Motel 6. I grew up staying in Motel 6 with my dad when it was his weekend.

Yeah. We would go to Motel 6. Or there was this other little one off motel called the Oasis Motel. We would say those ones. Yeah. Motel 6. So you get a lot of points for Motel 6. I got a lot of childhood trauma with Motel 6.

Yeah. No Motel 6, no Super 8. If you're, you know, it's all right. I think I've stayed in a Super 8 that was very nice. I have stayed in a pretty good one, but know, it's like. I think I've stayed at a super eight that was very nice. I have stayed at a pretty good one, but I don't like them. Red roof in, I've stayed at a red roof in that was like crazy. I think those are really nice.

Have you ever stayed at a vagabond in? No. Vagabond's nasty. That sounds nasty. I walked into the room and there was a needle on the ground. I said yeah I'm not I'm not staying here. Switch rooms? They were like, can I get a room without a needle? They were like yeah the rooms come with needles I'm sorry it wasn't on the desk. I had I could

maybe tell this joke because I think I've tried to tell it I've told it on stage I don't know if I'll ever do it again but if I do do. But I stayed in, I remember staying at a casino hotel somewhere. I was with you. Oh yeah, where was that? Supreme? Iowa. Iowa. We were in Iowa and I walked in my room and there was a big stain on my bed.

And so I called and I go, there's a stain on my bed. And they go, how big is the stain. And it made me rethink about the stain. Cause I thought, am I going to talk myself into a room with a bigger stain? Cause the way they said it, you know, like, well, how big is the stain? You're like, Oh, you know, maybe what I was saying, the joke, maybe it was, you know, maybe like, look, that stain used to be huge. It used to be the whole room now we've got it down to like a size of a I would say a Hundred nickels I think I would say as a joke. I'd say yeah Or even if they're like if you dropped a bunch of nickels on that's the smallest thing we have here Yeah, we gave you them. That's the primo room. Maybe a murder latest. Yeah, how big is this thing? Yeah

That's the primo room. Maybe they murder ladies. Yeah. How big is the stain? Yeah. Great way to kind of make us go, I don't know if I want to gamble. It's about the size of a body. They go, please.

Yeah, so the joke is like, how big is the stain? I was like, I don't know if you dropped a, I go a hundred nickels worth. That's how big the stain is. And then, you know, and they're like, eh, you know, it's not that bad. Yeah. All right, I'll stay.

We can switch it, but we won't guarantee there's not bigger stains. Yeah. Ugh, we don't even count stains anymore. Yeah, stains. The guy, stains. And he hung up on me. He goes, call me when there's someone else in your room. I've done that. Walk in,

they give you a key and someone's already in your room. Yeah. Yeah. That's the worst. I've had it done to me. Hello. Hello. And then I got to get your phone. Yeah. Yeah. I don't just find your key on the ground. Yeah. They gave it to me. You've had someone walk in on you?

Yeah. Yeah, I think I've had it both ways too. And they're like, cause then sometimes you can have the person be like, they're like, well, you're in my room. You're like, well, I'm here and I've been here. So I don't think me and you are supposed to figure it out. Yeah.

You need to go. I don't think that, yeah, I don't think that check out or at the front desk, they go, there's another guy in this room, but I need y'all to try to figure it out. Who gets the room? Yeah. I was about to get in the shower and they opened the door and the bathrooms right here. Yeah. Yeah. And I just thought, I hope they're not coming to my show. You know, that's embarrassing.

I just thought it'd be weird for all of us. Yeah. It didn't like if they were just total strangers. I don't really care. But I like that. I hope you're not coming to the show later. Yeah. I've been on that end where somebody's walked into my room. I've been the person that walked into somebody else's room. And I've also been the hotel employee

that accidentally put someone in someone else's room. And they came back and they go, somebody's in this room. And I go, oh, sorry, the housekeeping marked it as this. Blame it on somebody else. Oh, wow. You worked at a hotel. Which hotel? It was called the. You worked at a hotel. Oh, yeah. Which hotel? It was called the Windham Hotel at the time.

Oh, the Windham. I know Windham. Yeah. Now it's a Holiday Inn, but the one I worked at was a Windham Hotel. How do you know if the room's full or not? It's marked in the computer screen and then you assign them a number. So I honestly don't know how it's even possible. It happens all the time,

but I don't know how it has to be some kind of glitch or it was like marked not in service or something and then you missed it and the way it looked in the computer screen and I don't know. Are you really picking the room that the person's, you have complete control over it? Kind of like it'll like automatically assign you something and then they'll go, can I get something on a high floor?

And then you start looking in your high floors and then can I get something close to the elevator? You start looking on the map and you start seeing what's available. Okay, well I have by the elevator but it's on the fourth floor, you know, pick which one you want. Yeah. Yeah.

And then sometimes somebody's in there and you didn't see that like, oh, how did this happen? You know, they always like, if, like, do you try to keep people on the same floor? Like say if it's not busy or something, are you trying to be like- It's like a restaurant where you try to put everyone in the same section?

No, I do remember like going with whatever was like automatically, unless they start asking for things and it's like here you go fast as I can just to get you anything out there so yeah yeah yeah yeah I always wondered that because you see the whole you could be because there's like a I always thought there was a best room would you did you know if there was a best room? There was like a suite. So they would tell us like not to put people in the suite.

Like, you know, you can just assign people any room, but you can if you know there's no reservation there. So I know sometimes there'd be like nice people or they just had like an interesting story. I like to talk to people and then I just upgrade them for fun because I want to do. Yeah. Yeah, that's nice. That is nice.

Thank you. I'm a nice person. Is there any, is it, so the suite is it's not advertised either? What do you mean? Like do people know that there's suites? I think you just assume every hotel has a suite. I assume it, but I never know. Cause some like, you always think some hotel, you're like, are you hiding something?

Yeah. Like we had the hotel on, oh my God, I'm gonna talk about it, stay with Jeff Foxworthy. It's this hotel and I wish I had a picture of it. I could see if I can find a picture at some point. But we in the hotel, it's just on the main floor, right? So we're just staying. It's like not a crazy hotel. It was in, you know, like North Dakota, South Dakota, something like that.

And it's not anything crazy. It's like just that town's hotel. And so Fox Valley, Texas, he's in a picture and we're like, he's like, you gotta come see my room. And you're like, that's not your room. And we walk in there, it's two floors. Wow. But I mean, nothing looks like it would have, like there's nothing that shows, hey, this room might be, it looks like a regular door, like every other room,

and you walk in and it's a kitchen, fireplace, and upstairs with the bed and stuff. I mean, I was blown away. Wow. Because it just didn't look like a hotel where that would have any of that stuff. Wow, that's cool. Yeah.

I always think there could be, was the hotel, does every hotel have one crazy room? We had just a basic suite. Yeah Which means is just bigger and it has like a little mini kitchen. Did you stay there? I'm sure I have yeah Growing up it was right by my house. I was young. Yeah. Yeah, I was Did you have like guys hit on you all the time? Of course I was. Did you have like guys hit on you all the time? Brian, of course. I'll be in room 614. No, we would have we were right by the airport.

So we had a lot of flight crews. Yeah. Come in. So there would be a lot of pilots trying to flirt and stuff like that. I find flight crews are the rudest people outside of the plane in the plane. So nice. You see them outside of the plane. In the plane, so nice. You see them outside of the plane? Wow. They don't want to talk to you. Really?

I always find that maybe a hotel worker to airport worker that they want to talk to her, but maybe not you. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's true too. Yeah. Huh. Yeah.

I wonder if they're like, you know, they have like an attitude because when they're off, they're like, they walked in groups. Yeah. They always walk together and they just kind of like. Lot of luggage. Like they are the Mickey mouses of the airport. Yeah, yeah, they are. That's how I describe them too.

Yeah. Yeah. I just had a airport shuttle like very early, like six in the morning and to the airport. And it was just me and all the flight crew riding together to the airport. And we bonded. Then we all get off. We watched them stretch. You bonded?

That's all right. Well, you know, just- They talked to you? They were nice. Yeah. And then we get off. We're all, it's the same flight. I'm on their flight, except they all get to just zip on through, you know?

And then I have to- Go wait through TSA. Yeah. Get padded down. Yeah. And when you got on the plane, did they act like they knew you? No. No.

It's like, did you think you were going to get a different- you're like, maybe you'll do something. Yeah. You go, all right, well, I'm going to be on this flight if you want to. to, if you have any other seats, if you want to switch me from a middle to a middle. Because that's what I like. I like a good middle seat. Like a good middle seat. Yeah. Because I get to know two people that way. He doesn't pick a seat, walks on last and goes, all right, who are we going to sit next to today? And everybody's just sweating.

Yeah. Like a good Southwest. Find the two biggest people and go, get in between there. A lot of times he passes, he'll pass the seat. Exactly. Cozy. And he comes back. They think they're done.

They go, woof. And right when he, right when he can tell you, yeah. Gotcha. Gotcha. Can I get in there? Can I get in there? And I'm a talker. I flew with you one time recently and you almost didn't make the flight. Oh my God.

Yes. I don't know how to tell you, say it. I flew one time recently. I flew one time with you recently. And you know, I think you'd say I flew with time recently. I flew one time with you recently. You know, I think you'd say I flew with you recently. Well, it was only one time. One time was a long time.

We're not this far away. Far away. One time me and you flew together the other day. Yeah. I just wanted to say, sorry. Welcome back. Boy, anyway. One time, long time ago, you guys flew together.

Not too long ago. Yes. She barely made her flight. I guys flew together. Not too long ago. Yeah. And she barely made her flight. I almost missed it. End of the story. Yeah. But you made it. Barely.

They had one middle seat left for me. And I always said, I had a first class seat and they gave it to somebody else because I thought I wasn't coming. And I show up right before they closed the doors. And they're like, we have one middle seat in the back for you. And then I was walking past Brian. He's all, what are you doing?

I just assume because I didn't see her boarding. She's in seat one a. Then I get on and I'm looking, I don't see her. And then I go back to my seat. And then I'm like, I don't know. She's on this flight. I think she punked me into going on this trip and then you had to do an hour 20. And then she's like the last one on. Yep.

Barely made it. Yeah. They gave your seat away. Yeah. I don't like that. They're giving away quick. I feel like they shouldn't give it away to the door. I, yeah.

Yeah. And then upgrade somebody at that point. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then upgrade somebody at that point. Yeah. But. Yeah. And I guess they're trying to, you know, if they're, if they're standby, then they're like, where they're going to get someone else. You have to be there by a certain time.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they don't, they think you're. Don't talk about your condo. The Bible says don't mess with it. Like it's a lot of that. It's a lot of, you know,

I'm very interested in paranormal stuff. I've been that way since I was a kid. I love scary movies, scary TV shows. You should say it true by Hilton. Yeah, apparently. Yeah, so I had my podcast called Ghost Stories with Angela and it started as an Instagram live series during 2020 and I would go live with fans that had a ghost story

and they would come on and share their story. And I would have one celebrity guest each episode. And then I turned it into a podcast and it was so fun. And we would have like three fans that would submit their ghost stories. We would pick them and they would share it. And then people would be in the comment section watching live and like, you know, asking about their story. And I had to put that podcast on hold

because a creepy thing happened and I've been too scared to bring it back. Oh, wow. Yeah. Can you say what happened or? Yeah. Oh yeah. Do you wanna hear?

Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. Okay. So I was filming this particular episode here in Nashville, cause I go back and forth from Nashville to LA and I had a studio in LA I was filming this particular episode here in Nashville, because I go back and forth from Nashville to LA, and I had a studio in LA I was going to.

And then here, it was in the back of our house, we had a back studio. And Manny's typically home with me, he was out of town. It was just me home, so I had to do my episode by myself. But with the time difference, it was already gonna be dark here, right? So it was nighttime and I'm by myself. It's just me and my dog Bonzo.

So I'm doing my episode, I'm live with my guest and people are watching, leaving comments and stuff. And he's telling me the story about how these spirits have been like with him since his childhood. Like they, he's had this woman one and this whatever one and he's talking about it. And I start, it reminded me of a story of my friend who's a psychic medium.

And I was like, oh, you know what? You should look up my friend. His name is AJ Barrera. As soon as I said his name, I heard something in my headphone, just like, right? And I was like, wait, did you just say something? And he was like, no, what? And I was like, you didn't, did you just say something? And he was like, no, what? And I was like, did you just say something?

Did you whisper something? And he's like, no. And then I was like, oh my gosh, I just heard something. And then, so I'm like, was it just in my headphone? What did I hear? Then the comments start blowing up. I heard it, I definitely heard something. Everybody starts calling me, I definitely heard it.

So I was like, okay, that was weird That was creepy. And so I tell my producer who's remote he's in Arizona at the time and I'm like, hey mark this down Because I want to go back and listen to see if you can hear it so then episodes done and I have to Close up by myself and walk in the dark from the back house to the frowns. I'm already freaked out I'm like that was creepy. Whatever I get into freaked out. I'm like, that was creepy. Whatever I get into my house, I'm like, I'm going straight to bed. And so I like get in my bed and my producer sends me the clip just of that piece.

And he's like, you could definitely hear something. And I'm like, whoa, this is crazy. So I sent it to my brother. And then as I'm calling my brother, I'm like, Hey, I'm sending you a video right now to look at, there was like some creepy thing that just happened on the pocket, right? As I'm saying this, my sound bar in my room, I'm in the dark in my bed under my blankets, cause that's where you're safe from all the ghosts, right?

So I'm under my blankets and then the sound bar or TV all of a sudden turns on bloop, bloop out of nowhere. And I was like, Oh, Oh, oh, okay, I gotta call you back. Okay, bye. And then at this point I'm just like, I rebuke you, Jesus, hey, do not be around me and whatever, now I'm freaked out. I'm like, I need to hurry up and just close my eyes

and fall asleep because this is freaking me out. I had sent the clip to my psychic medium friend, right? Next day, he finally calls me back and he was like, what, give me a little bit of context. What happened here? What were you talking about? And I was telling him, and he listened to the slowed down version

and he was like, it's saying your name. And I was like, what do you mean? And he's like, I'm listening to the clip. And my wife walks in, she doesn't know what I'm watching. And she goes, it sounds like it's saying Angela. And he goes, yeah, Angela is the one who sent this to me. And he's like, no way. So then I send it back, listen to it, slow down.

And when it's slowed down, you definitely hear Angela. Wow. And I was like, oh my God. So then he's asking me questions about like, do you have anyone who's passed recently? Are you coming up on the anniversary of anybody who's passed? He starts asking me all his questions and whatnot. And I'm like, okay, I don't know,

maybe like my grandma just passed away a month ago. And you know, I was in this studio when I found out, when I got the phone call. And then once I got that phone call, I started journaling about my grandma. I started like writing down memories about her. And like, I did a lot of like thinking about my grandma and like processing her death, like in the studio.

And I was like, maybe that, I don't know, that's wild. So then I'm in the car later that day and it's sunny outside. It's not raining, it's not humid. It's not anything. It's just a nice, beautiful day. I'm driving. I'm on Bluetooth with my mom. And I'm telling her what happened.

And I was like, yeah. And then it like whispered my name. Like, I don't know. It like, what was happening? And all of a sudden my windshield wipers go, and they just turn on by themselves. And I was like, oh my God. I don't know what's happening.

And then, so I'm like, okay, if this is my grandma, give me a sign, like, is this you? So then I start looking for billboard signs, like something that would like mean something to us. I started looking for like license plates. I'm driving on the freeway and I was like, okay, grandma, are you trying to talk to me? What is this?

If you're not my grandma, I rebuke you again, get out of here. And I'm like so confused. And it really freaked me out because I love to hear about paranormal stories, ghosts. I love to hear about it. I just don't want it to happen to me. And so after that, I did two more episodes

but I made sure to have people with me. I didn't want to be by myself while I did these episodes. But then I was just like, I can't guarantee that I'm always going to be around someone. And for these episodes. But then I was just like, I can't guarantee that I'm always gonna be around someone. And for these episodes, I don't wanna be recording when I'm by myself. So I was like, let me just put it on pause. We're gonna go on a little hiatus until I figure out,

cause I was just starting to move here and I was going by not on a regular schedule. And I was like, let me just not, we'll put it on pause. And then I just never brought it back because I was just like, I don't know. Like I love to hear the stories. I love to talk about it. I see videos.

People will send me video clips of like creepy things that have happened. And I really enjoy it. But the second it happens to me, I'm like, oh, I don't like it anymore. I don't want it. So I've just, I never brought it back. And people ask me all the time, just even today,

they're like, hey, when are you bringing back your ghost stories with Angela? And I'm like, I never bought it back. And people ask me all the time, just even today, they're like, hey, when are you bringing back your ghost stories with Angela? And I'm like, I want to, but at the same time, I'm like, I don't know. And then that's when everybody in the comment section, like, see, that's why we said, the Bible says, don't open the door. Don't mess with it.

Don't mess with it. Don't even blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So. That's what used to happen to me too. When I was a kid, I loved Unsolved Mysteries. I love all that stuff. I love to tell ghost stories. And then I started to get freaked out all the time. When I was a kid, I loved Unsolved Mysteries. I love all that stuff. I love to tell ghost stories. And then I started to get freaked out all the time.

And I was like, you know what? I don't need that in my life. And I, let me ask you this though. When you, the soundbar came on, I said, oh, it got jumbled up. I said, let me ask you this though. Oh, I mean, I was like, I was like, am I hearing something?

Like, it sounded like you in tongues. I got jumbled up. I was like, I was like, am I hearing something? Like, it sounded like you in tongues. I got jumbled up. I was like, golly. I go, it's him. She's brought him in. It's him. It's him. When you rebuked it with the soundbar that night

and you were under your covers and you rebuked it in the name of Jesus, then it was gone? I mean, yeah, nothing. And then you got peace and you went to sleep. Yeah. It's amazing. Yeah, so I can still do my podcast and just rebuke it every time. Well mean, yeah, nothing. And then you got peace and you went to sleep. Yeah. It's amazing. Yeah, so I can still do my podcast and just rebuke it every time.

Well, I don't know, but I've done that in a lot of hotels. I've been in hotels and things get real creepy. I just, you know, I rebuke it all in the name of Jesus and then things get peaceful and I go to sleep. Oh yeah. I've had many of encounters. Except true hotels. Well, I do it in true hotel too, and then I get sleep. But I just like, every time I'm in there,

I'm like, I don't need this. I don't need this. What I need is sleep. I like a Hilton. I don't mind a Hilton, but not true. Yeah. So what do you think ghosts are? I mean, it depends.

I feel like a lot of times it could be the spirit of somebody who hasn't crossed over. Sometimes it's just energy left, like not necessarily this is my grandma in spirit form, but like we're all energetic beings. So maybe it's energy left behind. Sometimes it could be demonic and I feel like it's full on something evil. Um, I don't know. There's so much unknown. And that's a thing too, where I feel like anytime somebody comes with like

an absolute answer, like, no, that's a this, or it's not this, it's this. I don't, I have a hard time believing it because I'm like, nobody knows exactly what it is. So the more people are like, that's not like, if I, I remember I had a dream with my grandma and it was a very peaceful dream and I loved it. And I remember telling my cousin about it and she was like, no, that can't happen because in the Bible it says this and that. So that was a demon. And I'm like, I don't subscribe to that thought. I think my grandma visited me in my dream, but I don't know.

Bessie, what do you think? Well, I think there are angels, right? So it could be good, but I don't think I believe that we can be visited by relatives. Not that I know that for sure. Sure. I don't know about a dream.

I mean, I guess there could be something in a dream, but if we're really experiencing it, I don't think our loved ones, their spirits come up on us like that. You know? Right. Like, especially like your grandma, if you had like a good relationship with your grandma, like why would she be trying to scare you like that?

You know? So I think darkness can mask itself as something that we are familiar with. Yeah. And you know, and they know things about us. I think demons know things about us. Yeah. And so they know things about our loved ones, so they can say those things about us. I think demons know things about us. Yeah. And so they know things about our loved ones

so they can say those things to us. I don't like it. It's very dark. I'm not into it. And when the spirit said Angela, was it Angela with a J or with a G? Yeah. Yeah.

So if it was a J, I think they knew you. Yeah, shoot. I wish I should have put the captions on, but I didn't see how it was. Was your grandmother allowed to drive when she she growing up Because maybe she was just practicing In the seat like what does this do?

No, yeah, no she she used to drive But it's I'll show you the clip later if you want to see it. Why would she not be allowed to drive? Well, I was joking about allowing but back in the day I'm a little bit older, but you know know, women, women were allowed to drive. At least here in the South. I guess that's the soul of the South. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. When we get back to that. Yeah. Yeah. There is a thing like in the Bible where it talks about, like, I feel like not being able to cross over. feel like not being able to cross over. And then there's also like Saul, King Saul had a, had a, I don't know, a magician of sorts. It was the witch of Endor.

Yeah. It was a medium. Brings Samuel. This sounds like a Harry Potter character. Brings Saul, Samuel back from the dead in a way that freaked out Samuel, right? He was like, was it Samuel or was it? Well, it freaked out the woman even in, and Samuel was like, why are you bothering me?

I mean, yeah, don't you? I thought it was like, he was like, you, you can't do that. Don't do this. Yeah. What are you doing? Yeah. I don't remember this story. Yeah. But like, uh, yeah, there is other parts where it says you can't cross over once you're like, like, the guy, I don't know, one guy was like, I just want to tell my sons to do better. And I'm in a bad place. And they're like, well, you can't you can't contact them. I think in that story you're talking about, it's kind of like the movie Ghost, where, you know, Whoopi Goldberg was a medium, but she was basically a con artist until Patrick Swayze showed up. She really could do it.

So she freaked herself out at first, when she could first hear it. And that story, the witch was like, what's going on here? Like she was surprised. So maybe God was messing with her or something. Maybe so. I don't think I really believe in ghosts, but if there was a haunted house somewhere, surprised. Yeah. So maybe God was messing with her. Yeah. Or something. Maybe so. Hmm.

I don't think I really believe in ghosts, but if there was a haunted house somewhere and I've stayed at hotels or supposedly haunted, I could get freaked out really easy. You don't think there are ghosts at all? I don't think so. Oh, I do. Yeah, I think they're all bad, but I do think they're out there. I just think when you die, you go to where you're supposed to go. I don't think it's the spirit, the spirits of people, but I just think when you die you go to where you're supposed to go. I don't think it's the spirit the spirits of people but I do think it's it's spiritual. Yeah I just find it interesting and you have a joke about this all these ghosts are from the 1800s. Yeah there's no modern day

ghosts so what's happening there? I mean do you so you don't watch Unsolved Mysteries anymore? Oh no really I used to watch it all the time as a kid. I can't handle it. I don't like that stuff. Oh, yes. I like to watch it. Yeah, yeah. But I don't.

Then later. I don't wanna deal with the ramifications later. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm watching the new Unsolved Mysteries on Netflix. Yeah. And I'm watching it in my green room, I'm getting ready, I have it on the background. I don't know, I love it. I love to watch the creepy stuff. Is it all alien stuff and

ghost stuff? There's some alien stuff, there's ghost stuff, there's Unsolved Murders, there's all kinds of things, I love it. But then Unsolved Mysteries, at the end of it's just like, you don't know what... Yeah, that's the thing that's kind of infuriating is there's no resolve at the end, but this is what I'll do is I will Google if there's been any update since then because there have been updates on some now that a larger audience is getting Eyes on it then they get tips and things like that So there's been updates on some of the cases, but not a lot of them. Yeah Yeah, we were I think maybe the second episode we did this podcast. We all watched Unsolved mystery about a UFO remember that and they the aliens put the people like they yeah removed them from their car

Yeah, oh, I saw that one and then when they got back in they were in different seats. Oh, yeah I thought I saw that one so they messed these aliens messed up. Yes put everything back where it's supposed to be But they messed up. Yeah, we would have never known put everything back where it's supposed to be, but they messed up. Yeah. We would have never known. There are reports of people that they say they get abducted by aliens and then they do that. Like they rebuke it in the name of Jesus. And then they abduct you. Even the alien. Yeah. I think they're demonic. Jesus can do everything. You think aliens are demonic? Yeah. People get mad at me on this podcast when I say that, but I do think that. That's funny. I've never heard that theory, but okay, I get it.

No, no, not here, but some people that listen. Because people like aliens, and so when you say something like that, I'm not saying I know that's what it is, but that's what I think it is. And people like aliens, and I think people have a little bit of a fantasy that aliens are going to come to Earth one day and be our friends. And we're going to live in harmony with the aliens. And, you know, I just don't believe that's ever going to happen. Or just take over the world.

Yeah. Yeah. Or we'll go to Mars and meet some aliens and just have a good time out there. And hi. You say hi to them. Yeah. Yeah. Just be like, hey, we're from Earth. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they just be like, hey, we're from Earth. Yeah. Yeah. Hey. And the aliens will be real pumped about it and just hang out.

Have you ever done like a medium though? I have. Yeah. I have. Was it convincing? Did they know stuff that there's no way they would know? Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I have a couple of friends that are psychic mediums that I've spoken with and they've shared. And sometimes they'll get pictures in their mind that they're sharing. I'm like, what are you, I don't know, I'm not following. And then all of a sudden it clicks and you're like, oh, yeah, that's my uncle. Yeah, everything you said now makes complete sense.

But even that, like I grew up very much like, don't touch it. Don't, like there's a lot of don't do it and then guilt and shame around it. And I remember people would tell me, be careful with you always watching them scary movies and you better not play with that. Like my whole life, people have always like rebuked me

for my interests in the paranormal and stuff. And finally they're coming for you. I've even, listen, I've even, yeah, they're finally, after all these years, they're like, all right, now she's ready. I talked to an animal communicator. Okay. Do you know about animal communicators?

Like a medium for animal, like- Yeah. Like your dog can tell you what to say? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he says, well, your dog that's alive. Yes. Oh, I thought it'd be like your dog from the past.

No, no, no. That comes out and goes, still dog, still thinking dog stuff. Yeah. No, no, no, no. That comes out and goes, still dog, still thinking dog stuff. Yeah. That's cool, man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I spoke with an animal communicator.

This is for Bonzo? Yep. So I, again, somebody gifted me, here's a session with an animal communicator and, you know. What a Christmas gift. Right, yeah. And so she- We'll get that for you, Dusty., speak to. I don't have any dogs. Even do it from the front yard. Yeah.

And basically she will, you can put your phone on speakerphone and have your pet next to you. She's like, if you have any other pets, make sure they're not around you, because I'm gonna get mixed signals and hear different things. And the one thing I'll say about this session that really resonated, I had had Bonzo for maybe like a year or two at this point. It was pretty early on in my relationship with my dog. And something about my dog is he's very soft.

Like all dogs can be soft, but he was like uniquely soft to where everywhere we went, Starbucks, airports, venues, anywhere in public, cause I take my dog with me everywhere, people would always pet him. Okay, pet your dog? Of course, absolutely. And the first thing out of their mouth, always,

wow, he's so soft because he's like just super, super soft, especially when he was a puppy, it was like new fur. And it was like super, super soft. And then, wow, he's so soft. Like everyone always says that about him. And then we had a big backyard at the time and he loved to go zoomie, zoomie. And we always go, wow, you're so fast.

And like, you know, just hype him up, right? So when he was like, get on this session with the animal communicator and she's like, okay, you know, I have Bonzo laying right next to me and he's just like relaxed. She's like, okay, I can totally feel he's in like a meditative state. He's just very chill.

I'm like, okay, right? And she's like, I'm gonna go silent for a minute. I'm gonna talk to your dog and I'm still minute. I'm gonna talk to your dog. And I'm still here. I'm just listening to your dog right now. And then she goes, I'm asking him, what do people say about him? And so it gets quiet. And then she goes, wow, you're so soft.

And I was like, uh-huh. Wow, you're so fast. And she starts repeating things that we say to him, that people say to him. And I'm like, this is wild. And then everything else was just like, could be true, could not be true. It's like, where did they come from? And I got them at a shelter. And the story they gave was like, somebody found these two dogs on the street

and brought them in to the shelter. And then the story that she told, she's like, what he's showing me is that he actually lived with an old lady that couldn't take care of these dogs. So her adult son came and dropped them off at the shelter and pretended that he found them. But really they were his mom's dogs. And I was like, oh, that's interesting.

So it was like stuff like that, that could be true, could not be true, no way to find out. But right out the gate, I was very impressed with what she was saying. I was like, whoa, even my dog? He says he's a good boy. Have you ever told him? All the time.

Do you think animals can be ghosts too though? Like there's a ghost dog? I think so. Um, when you're on it, but is it feel, do you feel like it feels like entertainment? Is this the woman by the way? That's not her, but. But the animal spirit of talking, I would think it feels like entertainment. Looking at her, I wouldn't think that was your friend. Yeah. Yeah. Well, but it was a gift though. It's like you would, she would, she had another lady. I feel like you would do it and go, this is entertainment. And I'm enjoying that she, you know, and. But I look at her face and I go, I trust her.

Is that Bo's wife? Lynn Schuster? I don't think so. Bo Schuster? Yeah. Uh, and I mean, yeah, you're soft. Did she ask what kind of dog it was? Um. Because she knows it's soft. Yeah, maybe. I don ask what kind of dog it was? Um...

Maybe she knows it's soft. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I don't remember. Do you, when you do it, are you trying to figure out how does, would she know this? Um, yeah, I mean, and there's that thing too. You can think like, oh, she saw my name, so she Googled me, she looked at my Instagram. It could be all of these things. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, I don't know. I guess the way she said it.

Like how quick when you call and set it up, how quick are you talking to her from your appointment to you're on the phone with her and she's doing this? Not quick at all because it's like she's booked up. So I'm like. She's booked up. Yeah. She goes, I'm booked. I'm moving.

I just bought a house. It's weirdly next to you. So. Yeah. Yeah. I'm booked. I'm moving. Uh, I just bought a house. It's weirdly next to you. Uh, so yeah. I don't mean she could have Googled everything, you know. I, I feel like they, but I mean, you know, like how much could it cost? It couldn't cost them like. I think like a hundred bucks. Yeah. So why would you do all that for a hundred bucks? But that's like crowd work, crowd work. And when you say that, you mean her, not Angela. Not Angela, but I'm saying she couldn't go into all this. But like, if you do enough of this crowd work, people think comics, crowd work, a lot of it you're coming up

with for the first time. Well, maybe one time you came up with it for the first time, but overall, it's going to be the same crowd, the same people, the same everything. You're gonna have, someone's gonna have a C&I dog in the audience. I've seen that. Someone's gonna have someone doing sign language or a guy with his daughter up front or whatever. Like it's all these things that someone's like,

who would do that? You're like, everybody will do it because they all bring them. So then they think the crowd works. So that's what I think with this stuff is like, who would do that? You're like, everybody will do it because they all bring them. So then they think the crowd work. So the sort of, that's what I think with this stuff is like, they're just really good at- Marketing. Yeah, they can just, they know,

well, they just know how to make you do- A gift. Yeah. People really wanna communicate with their animals. If they know that you wanna do, if you've gone to the step of them getting it, they've kind of got you hooked. Yeah, yeah. And so anything that you want to do, if you've gone to the step of them getting it, they've kind of got you hooked. Yeah, yeah.

And so anything that you say, if they're even, yeah, if they're somewhat good, then they, you know, and I guess if you feel happy with it and you, you know, then it's... Yeah. You know. I have a question. Because I think everybody at this table comes from a faith background.

What are your thoughts on prophetic gifts? I don't know what that word means. Prophecy. Yeah, like people in the church that will prophesy, which is like, kinda like what a psychic does, but God is telling them. What do you have to tell me? I guess I'm into the idea of it.

I am into the idea of it, but I don't. Oh, like God's telling, oh. But I don't know that I trust. But if you listen, okay, so you're doing exactly this, except this lady's doing it on her website, but you go to church and someone's like, hey, God's telling me to, you know, believe that. I think you're supposed to trust, you know,

you're supposed to test them to see, I mean, does it come true? Yeah. But yeah, it's like, I mean, in principle, I'm into the idea of prophecy, but I don't. I feel like it's all you. It's your relationship with God. So it's like, it's gotta be, it may be a message that gets delivered through someone else to you, but I think it's all your

relationship. It's a one-on-one unique relationship that you have that's... But people are forever on the internet like, God told me this, I got to tell it to you guys, and then it doesn't happen. I have a lot of friends. So in the same way I have friends that are like psychic mediums, I come from the church as well. So I have a lot of prophetic friends that are wild. And in the same way, like my psychic medium friends

will like tell you some stuff, you're like, whoa, I have some prophetic friends that like, I'm thinking about this one person in particular, I remember walking with him and he's like, not like he has to like have a session with you or anything, we'll just be walking somewhere like down the street. And I remember we were in Glendale, California, we're walking down the street.

And there was a girl trying to get signatures at the corner for like, I don't know, like save the whales or something like that, trying to get signatures. And she stopped to talk to us and ask us for signatures. And my friend's just like looking at her and he goes, what do horses mean to you? And she's like, what? And he goes, what do horses, I just see a bunch of horses running past you. And she's like, I grew up with horses. My grandpa taught me how to ride horses, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then he goes into this

thing like, I think God wants you to know that blah, horses, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then he goes into this thing like, I think God wants you to know that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, and just gives her like this word, right? And I think psychic mediums do the same thing. They get visuals and pictures. And I think one of my medium friends, psychic friends could have done the same thing. Like what do horses mean to you? I keep seeing these horses and whatnot. And a lot of times what I hear from people in the church

Is like well that's different because this person's hearing from the Lord and this person could be hearing from demonic entities So that's why it's different but then I've also had where I've sat down with someone who's well known to prophesying over people and like well known to prophesying over people. And like, he's like given words to all these different people and like they've happened. And like, he's like, well known. And I was visiting this town one time and like, hey, so and so wants to meet you for coffee.

And which basically means that he has a word for you. Like, okay, great. I'll go sit down with him. And I remember sitting there with him and everything he was saying was not ringing true to me. And one thing in particular that my red flags went up was, he's like, I feel like who are these two people to you? And he gives me these two names. And he's like, these two people are going to be, they're going to usher you into your next season of life. They're going gonna be the ones that come alongside you

and walk with you in your next season of life. And I was like, huh, that's interesting because the two people I named is an aunt and uncle of mine, who I haven't seen in years, years and years and years, but I just so happened to visit them last week and I posted a picture about it that I was so happy to see my aunt and my uncle,

he cooked me menudo, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We had the best time, it was so great to have family time and connect and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, that's interesting because I haven't seen them in years. I just posted about them and since that day, I think about eight or nine years went by before I saw them again.

So they definitely did not usher me into my next season of life. You know what I mean? He was being lazy. He Googled me. Yeah, he goes, this one, this picture's from last week. You think she'll get it? He goes, I don't have time for this.

He goes, just give me the names. So just in the same way, like this lady could be Googling the animal communicator I met with could have been Googling, everybody could be Googling. But what if, you know, what's a season really, right? I'm not saying this guy's right or wrong, but like what's a season, right? Maybe your life has been on the same track

and then there's a new season on the. Well, I got married and had a baby. Yeah, that's pretty big. Yeah, that's pretty big. And it wasn't your aunt and uncle that did it. No, no. Yeah, that's pretty big. Yeah, that's pretty big. And it wasn't your aunt and uncle that did it.

No, no. Maybe it was the food they cooked you that ushered you into that. Maybe he was just a little behind on it. Maybe the food set you on a new season. That's what it was. I was very inspired by that Manolo. And I was like, you know, I should have a baby.

I feel like maybe you could be, you're lost a little bit, questioning, or you're lost if something're, if this, if something like this can come in and you go, that means a lot. It's like, you're already, maybe you're already thinking about it. You're already, you're looking without you knowing you're looking for it. And so confirmation bias. Yeah. And so, but, but it shouldn't be put in the person that says it. Cause then it's like, Ooh, now you're like, that person's special in this. It's gotta be, it's, you know, you got to you got to be comfortable

because you're if you are comfortable and someone does it, you're going to be like, you can confidently go like, I'm not listening to what that person says. Like, you know, a lot of BS out here. That's yeah, you got to just trust your own. There's a lot of BS. And then sometimes I subscribe to it where like I know it's BS and I'm like, you know, like, yeah, I'll do it animal communicator. It's like professional wrestling. Yeah, exactly. That's what I said. It's entertainment. Yeah, exactly. Entertainment.

They sell shows to him like if hypnotisms at comedy clubs. Yeah. Well, if it was this legit, if they could make someone snap, why would that not be in? Why would you not have it in college? Like, why would you not, it would be like a health, it'd be a health benefit. It'd be, you'd be using it for that scenario. Like. Well, some people do use it to quit smoking and stuff like that. Yeah, but it's, but then again, that's all they want to quit smoking. So if they do it, they quit. When they, I think when the hymn says, when you get someone on stage, they know how to pick who wants to, who believes in this.

Sure, sure, sure. Who wants to do this? They find the suckers. When they talk to that lady, I guarantee you can't talk to it. I would bet she can't talk to just anybody and everybody. It's got to be like, I got to know that they want to hear this. And then I can make them hear what they want to hear. Uh-huh.

And then you're, and you know what? And you view, and it's maybe you just, it is, it's entertainment. Like it's kind of, and it's maybe you just, it is, it's entertainment, like it's kind of fun and it's entertainment, but if you go live your life by it, like then that would be probably fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We gotta wrap, but did you ever do Bloody Mary in the bathroom as a kid?

Oh yeah, I would do that. Never worked, but I did it. Yeah, I don't think I ever sure did it. Yeah, but you knew about it, right? I knew about it, it was like a lot of classes. And I would always stay just enough away from, you know, I'd be like, nah, I don't need to do it. Yeah, I agree. I agree. Yeah. All right. Do you want to talk about where we're at this week? Yeah, y'all go. I don't know where I'm at. This Friday, I am in Lebanon, Pennsylvania at, I think... Keeping it in Lebanon.

Henry Cho is at the Bijou. Oh, yeah. Dang. Yeah. That is too bad. Two clean comedy shows on Saturday. It's his hometown. That's too bad.

Two guys. Oh, he probably planned. Hour 40 each. Yeah. He probably planned it around no game in Knoxville too. He does it every Saturday. Yeah. Dang.

Yeah. It'll be great. Come see us both at the same time. All right. And you have a podcast, Fungilla, comes out every Tuesday? Oh yes. Yes. Every other Tuesday.

Right now we're every other Tuesday. We're going to move into weekly, but not yet. But every other Tuesday, we're going to move into weekly but not yet. But we're every other Tuesday, it's called Fungiola, it's about gratitude and we do one attitude that's the thing that's pissing you off, making you mad lately. What's that thing? And we say it, we let it go and then we move into gratitude. We talk about five things that we're grateful for. And the idea is that we put good vibes out there. When you practice gratitude, you're raising your vibration.

You're raising your mood to be in a better mood when you think on those things that are pure, think on those things that are good. You know what I mean? Like even they talk about it in the Bible. And so that's what we do. We talk about good stuff and what we're grateful for. And it leads to a lot of fun conversations and stories

about the things that you're grateful for, whether it be something from childhood or something that your partner said the day before. Or that the ghost didn't get you. That's right. That was one of my gratitudes on my Halloween episode. Was this the answer to the ghost talking to you? Yeah.

You started a gratitude podcast? Exactly. I had to like balance it out. Yeah. All right. Get out there. Get some Mountain Dew. Get some Mountain Dew.

All right. We love you. See you next week. Bye. Nate Land is produced by Nate Land Productions and by me, Nate Bargetzi, and my wife Laura on the AudioBoom platform. Recording and editing for the show is done by Genovations Media. Thanks for tuning in. Be sure to catch us next week on the Nate Land
