Today's episode of the Nate land podcast is brought to you by bombas Mountain Dew chime and aura frames Hello folks and hey bear Aaron Weber here reporting live from the Nate Land studio desk alongside fellow comedians, fellow Nashvillians, my buddies, two of the best friends any human being could ask for. I got Brian Bates and Dusty Slay right here with me. Okay Nate is not here, he'll be back, he's back next week right? I have no idea. Okay well I'm pretty sure he is. Just putting that out there in the world I think it's gonna happen. Yeah, he is back next week. Do you believe in manifesting things, Brian?

Because I think- Put it out in the world? Put it out in the world and then it just kinda happens. I think it's the power of positive thinking. Well, that's another way of saying the same thing. Yeah, you know, but manifesting seems like it's witchcraft. But- Yeah, the secret, right?

But you're just saying, this is gonna happen and you're building it up positively for yourself. Setting a goal and achieving it. Words have power. And if you're negative about yourself, then it'll start to, well, it'll start to manifest in you. Now, there were two books a decade or so ago, and it might be getting mixed up.

The Secret. Men Are For Mars, Women Are For Venus. Well, there's more than two books, period. And then, The Prayer of Jebez. Was that it? Never heard of that. I didn't read any of that though. The Prayer of Jebez. Yeah, and it's been so long, but I think it's Old Testament, Dusty, so you might be into it. But I think he basically, the point is I think it's okay to ask God to reward you bountiful in finances and wealth. Sure, why not? And whatever. The book has been highly criticized and compared to Prosperity Gospel. Yeah. I don't think there's anything wrong with

asking for those things, but you know, I like to, you know, myself, I like to pray that the Lord's will be done, right? Like where it's. But I like to, myself, I like to pray that the Lord's will be done, right? Like where it's like, if I'm going, I want a million dollars, but God's like, I know if I give you a million dollars, it's gonna ruin your life. Then I don't want the money. You think it could ruin your life with a million dollars?

I don't think so now, but there's a time in my life where it would have ruined my life. Three years ago? Yeah. Well, at least, I would say at least 14 years ago, before I quit drinking, if you had given me, I don't know, it wouldn't even have to be a million dollars. You could have given me 10 grand and I could have ruined my life.

But I was just thinking, you guys, I consider two of my closest friends. But this is the only time in our life where we could have been 15 years ago. We couldn't have been friends because you were a totally different person and it would have been creepy for us to be friends. Where else would we have hung out? You know, yeah, exactly. 15 years ago you'd have been. Oh, 15 years ago I would have been 18. Yeah, 16 just turned 17. Uh, so that would have been a little weird for me to be a 30 something. You would have a great time hanging out with me though. Uh, I

mean, it would have been a, he'd be drinking more. You would have been a horrible influence on him. Yeah, we would have had a great time. I don't think I've ever allowed it, but you don't even like yourself then. Well, I like, no, I mean, myself now wouldn't like myself then. Yeah. But you're having a good time in the moment. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. My health, I just got, I got, I started feeling too bad. Mm-hmm. That was a problem. I could have kept going if I exercised a little. But now we all have a lot in common. We're all fathers and.

That's right. Comedians. Podcast. Podcasters. Yeah. Podcasters. We do never-ending podcasts. That's what i'm referring to as podcasts in general now It's like a tv show That never ends Yeah, it sounds great. I never want my favorite tv shows to end dude. Just keep making but sometimes Um with tv shows specifically podcasts generally speaking, we're just talking from the beginning.

But a TV show, you know, it's start like, let's use the TV show, Heroes. Did you ever watch that one? Season one of Heroes, unbelievable, because it was based on this graphic novel, right? And then season two, they were like, oh, we didn't know it was gonna do so well. So they like scramble to write season two,

and it was not as good. That was a superhero show, right? Yeah, don't you feel like that a big part of that was that was before the soup where everything was a superhero movie and everything was a Superhero show. Oh, yeah, didn't it kind of it was before all that. Yeah. Okay. Well then it yeah I mean I imagine trying to do a show like heroes now you're like, okay No, but I'm saying these but even by season two it already lost steam but okay their main story was gone Yeah, yeah, I just rewatched when I was a kid But even by season two, it had already lost steam, because their main story was gone. Yeah.

Yeah. I just rewatched, when I was a kid, I loved the Superman movies with Christopher Reeve. And then these- Me too. What's he been up to? I just rewatched them. You did?

Yeah. Did they hold up? I think so. Well, they did. There's one of the four that was pretty weak. Well, the three and four I'm not even talking about because those really went down. Even then I didn't like those two. What was the one where he fought himself as bad Superman?

I think that's three. That was pretty awesome. That's the one with Richard Pryor, right? Yeah. Well, anyway, I just rewatched one and two. Four is where it really dipped. Anyway. Okay.

Anyway, these more current, disagree, these more current ones, the man of steel ones. Yeah, that have come out recently. I'm like, ah, they're so dark. And why can't they know we're like whatever. But then I just watched the first two Superman, the special effects are so bad. I'm like, all right, this meets somewhere in the middle. This is what I think. What we need is a Superman movie where he just is rescuing people the whole time. That's all we need.

At least start it. Man of Steel, right out of the gate, there's just problems. He never got to be a hero at all. Let's just see you popping around town rescuing people. Maybe you're not even Superman yet. You're just the guy that everybody knows that can rescue you. Yeah. Or maybe leave all this IP alone for 20 years and we'll come back. You know what I mean? Yeah. Do we need a Superman movie? No. What's IP? Intellectual property. All this built in. Sorry, killed the conversation. No, I just didn't know what

it meant. But yeah, I would agree. Take some time off. They've, I mean, they, they, they did one with the guy. I can't think of his name where he had a son. Remember that? No, there was a Superman movie 15 years ago where there was only one with this guy, but he had a son with Lois Lane. Okay, and did he have superpowers? Yeah, they didn't.

Superboy? She didn't realize it was his son, and then Lex Luthor's played by Kevin Spacey. Oh yeah, yeah, I remember that one. Yeah, that one was good. Yeah. I think you have lower standards than I do, Dusty. Well, you know, I just take the movie for what it is. It's a Superman movie.

Yeah. It's pretty cool. I mean, the opening scene of that movie, there's a plane crashing and he catches a plane. Now that is good. And the Superman return, his return to the world was coming down on a baseball field and lowering a passenger jet in the middle of the baseball field. That's, and they'd not seen him for 20 years. And here he is. He's back. Now that is pretty field. That's, and they'd not seen him for 20 years. And here he is, he's back. Now that is pretty good. That's good. Dang.

How is he doing that? What is he using? Superpowers. Yeah. Yeah. He just- Are you from Super Man? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's just from a planet.

It's kind of like magic, right? He's from a planet where- It's kind of like magic. It's the sun. Well, yeah, I guess. I mean, I'm not saying I want to be friends with the guy, you know. No, it's our, it's our yellow sun that does it. Yeah, I mean, he, he's from a planet where everybody's like that. Okay. Yeah, but they're, they're not as powerful on Krypton as they are here. Right, but everybody's like that though. Yeah. And then he's just compared to us.

Yeah. Much stronger. There's probably a lot of, you know, anti-Christ symbolism in there, I'm sure. I mean, if you want to dig out, that wasn't quite where I was going. Okay. Well, I felt like you were trying to take some magic digs at me. So I was a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't have to make it that real. Yeah. But happy to be here. Huh? We're back at Nate land, Nate land studios. Yeah, you didn't have to make it that real. Yeah. But happy to be here, huh? We're back at Nate Land, Nate Land Studios. What's been going on, man? I hate to jump into it too quickly, but I haven't seen you guys in a while. I want to know what you've been up to. I know you were on the road, Brian. Yeah, Thursday I did, I was in Gadsden, Alabama. Oh, Gadsden, I got family from there. Good. What's a funeral in Gadsden? So did I, my show.

No, no, no, no. I did a show for Young Life. Oh, yeah. It was very funny. They said, yeah, we had Nate spoke at our national convention in L.A. earlier this year. I'm doing the L.A. the Gadsden, Alabama chapter of Young Life, which is that's where it is again. LA to AL.

That's right. But I tell you what, I did not feel like I was doing well. I only had to do 30 minutes and I'm like, I don't feel like I'm doing good. What's the setup? Are you going up cold? Are you following somebody? No, totally cold. And, uh-

Do they know it's comedy? I'm still not sure they know it's comedy. I mean, are they coming to a comedy event? Like, what's the set up? Young Life is supposed to be pretty hip. I mean, that's the idea. That's probably my first problem. Is they want to appeal to young people,

so they want things to be Christian and hip. I remember with Campus Life, which is sort of a Young Life thing, that we went to, we had like a Christian Heavy Metal thing we went to one time. I thought it was pretty cool. I never followed up with those bands, but in the moment I was like, this is pretty cool. Well, I feel like I was struggling to the finish line.

So I, I'm like, I gotta do something. I gave basically Henry Cho's testimony. I mean, I didn't say it was mine, but I'd never heard of Young Life growing up. But Henry Cho told me how that's how he got involved in church was through Young Life. Yeah. So I shared Henry's, I'm like, you guys know Henry Cho? No? Well, I'm going to tell you his testimony anyway.

And I shared about Henry. I shared someone else's testimony. Closer. Yeah. Just to finish it out. All right. So it's going well then. Yep, yep. That was Thursday.

Great time. Was it like teenagers in the crowd? No, this was for like volunteers and adults just to raise money and things like that. There were some of the kids there, but this was for adults. Friday I did one of those Don't Tell Nashville shows. Nice. Friday I did one of those Don't Tell Nashville shows in town. Everybody in the audience and on the show besides me were like 23. But I did great. Yeah, I feel old on those shows.

You're a great comic. Thank you. You are a professional comedian. Yeah. As much as we joke about you not being, like you are a professional comic. You've done it a long time. You can figure out how to do well in any room. Those Don't Tell shows, I don't know if do well in your room. Those don't tell shows.

I don't know if you're listening, they have these don't tell shows all over the country in different cities. And the way it works is you sign up and then they, you know, it's like a hidden location, hidden lineup. They send you the info morning of after you buy a ticket and then you never know who's going to pop in. But they are usually young, like date nights. Yep.

I feel like an old man at a lot of them, dude. Yeah. Um, that was Friday, Saturday. I, uh, was in Litchfield, Kentucky, the Alice theater. I took my friends, Paula Kaczynski and John DeToy with me. All right. They did great. Great comics.

They're a great comics. They're such a great couple. They're so positive that I found us saying just positive things about comics the whole time on the trip, which is weird. They're such a great couple. They're so positive that they are. I found us saying just positive things about comics the whole time on the trip, which is weird. They're very nice people. Yeah, two very nice people. Very funny. Yeah. They're great. We talked about John on the podcast before. He's the guy that plays yo-yos. I don't know plays real asset to the Nashville comedy. They both are. They both are for sure. They really bring a positive vibe to the Nashville comedies. They do. I like that. I do. I'd like them to get jaded a little

bit. Well, I just want to trash some comics, but they're so positive. I know. That's what I'm saying. On the car ride, I'm like, man. Oh yeah. You got to be able to trash some people. Yeah. I mean, I was trying to trash you two, but they really love y'all. That's fine. You got to, yeah, you got to do it. Yeah. There's plenty to talk about with me. But a lot of folks came out. That was a great show, Saturday Night in Litchfield. And then last night I was in London, Kentucky, doing a show for, it's called Laugh All Night. It's for new missions, which does a lot of things, but sponsors this particular sponsors, some orphans in Haiti. And it was at a church there in London

and did it with a few other comics. And- Did you eat at the restaurant? I didn't. The guy who Dusty was telling me about a steak house there in London, Kentucky. Shylo. But the organizer, he wanted to take us out,

but we went where he wanted to take us. I wasn't gonna say, no,'t want to go there. Yeah, so Great time last night London, Kentucky. How how late was the show? Like how late did it go to not late at all give me a time. I think it was over by 830 laugh all night Yeah, I pointed that out last week. I know, but he pointed it out. I just wanted specifically to know what time, what time it went to. Yeah, there was about a 16, 75 minutes of laughing. And people are like, we're gonna be here all night or what? I'm not even laughing. No, it was great. That's awesome. Good time. Your buddy Bob Smiley was on the show and okay and Rick Roberts and Sean Reynolds and Michelle McNair Miller, I think. Alright. Who I've never met but they were all very funny. Fun lineup.

And yeah, great night and that was it. Alright. Joking around is our whole thing here, but what we do take seriously is our socks. I can't stand when my socks have that irritating toe seam or the get twisted in my shoe. So I started to only wear bombas, the most comfortable socks in the history of feet.

Are we skipping Aaron or has he already said he wasn't doing anything? Well, I thought he's hosting weekend. I didn't do comedy. I went to McMinnville. Are we skipping Aaron or is he already sitting? I thought he's hosting the show, so he would go last. Oh, okay.

All right. I would think that. I don't mind it. Yeah, go boom, boom. It's like a rotation here. Think of us like a circle. You go this way, then you go here. You can also go this way in a circle.

Yeah, but he started it. He passed it to you first, so now you're passing it back to him. We're going counterclockwise. Yeah, you don't pass it back, you pass it around. You know, you can, if you go north long enough, you'll eventually be going south. But if you go east or west, you're always either going that direction. Oh, that is fun.

I like that latitude and longitude. Yeah. Yeah. So where were you? Yeah. Um, well, I just want to say, I went to McMinnville. We hung out a little bit and a lot of fun and a lot of fun. Went to Tammy's had some burgers.

Tammy's is still the best restaurant in McMinnville. Uh, shout out, but I want to make an announcement. I'm recording another special Yes, February 28th at the Walker Theatre in Chattanooga Beautiful theater beautiful my last special I filmed in Knoxville now. I'm filming in Chattanooga I think I'm gonna do all my specials in cities of Tennessee McMinnville next. Yeah, maybe so But I got a beautiful theater. Well next is Chattano, February 28th. And today is pre-sale tickets. So today, Wednesday, you can get pre-sale.

I got two things here. I got artist pre-sale is on Wednesday. I don't know what that means really, but the code is SLAY. The pre-sale code is SLAY. And then Thursday is local pre-sales. And I don't know what that means. But then official on sale is Friday.

But get tickets, two shows, February 28th, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Walker Theater. It's gonna be great. I'm filming another special and it's gonna be- You mean two hours? How long is it gonna be? A two hour special? Well, I have been working to try and narrow,

I want an only an hour long special. I think anything longer than an hour is too long. My last one was an hour, five, six, seven, eight. I don't know how long, but it's- That's with the credits. Yeah. No, for most people I'd say, yeah, but for you, I'd say at least an hour 20.

Yeah. Well, I think when you go to a live show, get your money's worth. Yeah. You know, but if you're watching at home, an hour is what you want. All right. That's what I think. Like if there were more hour long movies, I would watch more movies.

But like when I go, how long is this movie? An hour and 50? Nah, I'll just watch YouTube again. I watch three hours of YouTube videos. Yeah, exactly. Instead of this two hour movie. You know what I have been doing though? Real fast.

I've been taking DVDs, not Blu-ray DVDs and burning them onto my computer and having the digital copy. It's very low. It's not low resolution necessarily, but it's a low memory file. I can easily airdrop it to my phone and watch movies on the plane and then I can watch all these great old movies on on my phone you're airdropping the movie yeah to your phone so how small is the file I don't know is this like four four but it I mean when you're looking on your phone it still looks good does

it really yeah I mean I'm not it's not like pixelated. Okay. From a DVD? Yeah. All right. Blu-ray is different. Yeah, yeah, sure. Blu-ray is harder to do, but. That's exciting.

What are you watching? Well, I've been- Superman. I've only done one trip with it, but I watched, I think I taught, Lords of Flatbush was one of them, and then Run Ronnie Run, which I haven't finished. All right. But Run Ronnie run is really funny. It's David Cross. It's really seems like the inspiration for Joe

Dirt which is Joe Dirt is one of my favorite movies of all time. People say you look like a cross between David Cross and Joe Dirt. Yeah. But Joe but run Ronnie run is uh really funny. Alright. And uh I thought it would be. You're gonna air drop it to me later? Uh well. I? Yeah. Why not? Yeah, I got space. All right. All right. Anyway, where were you at? Yeah. No, hold on. Well, you you interrupted something to say that you're special. You're talking about your special

already pitched it though. I did the whole pitch. All right. Yeah. And then else February 28. Do you know what you're going to do with it? What's it? What's it going to be? I don't know where it'll end up. There's no, you know, last time I filmed a special, I didn't know where it was going to end up. I just filmed it. I just filmed a high quality, top of the line special

with A plus jokes and visual quality. And then Netflix was like, we gotta have it. And so that's what I wanna do with this one. I wanna, I'm just gonna, I got, some people have said they like this hour better than my last special. So I'm looking forward to this hour. And plus I'm ready to move on to some other jokes.

So I need to get them down and- You got this new hour quick. Yeah. I was really impressed at, I mean, your special hadn't even come out yet. And you had it already out there going. Yeah. I don't know that I'll be able to do that this next time, but I, um, I feel good though. I was digging through some old notebooks today and there's a lot of stuff that I wrote down in the past that I was like, these are good ideas.

I just wasn't good enough to make them jokes. So I'm excited to kind of dig into some of that. You gotta do that smoke into the rental card bit. Oh yeah, I do have to do that. That would fit in your act pretty easily, I think. Yeah, I think so. Well, congratulations, Dusty. Yep, big time.

Thank you, big time. Thanks all, guys, I appreciate you. And it's called what? I don't know what it's gonna be called yet. The last one's called Workin' Man, which is still available on Netflix. By the way, I got another hour that's on YouTube. It's at three million views, hit three million views. So I don't know what the next one's gonna be called, but the, you know, we go Working Man, and then what do we don't want to do? I feel like we don't even

want to do in the same realm. You mean like Lounge and Man or something like that? Yeah, or yeah, something, you know? Mm-hmm, that's fun. It's fun to think about. I'm excited. I'm excited. It's gonna be fun. But you heard.

I'm recording special at the Ryman. All right. For Netflix, no I'm not. I did just perform at the Ryman. Well, I forgot to mention it last week, but I opened for Kathleen Mattigan at the Ryman here in town. Oh, I opened for her last year there. Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot of fun. It's a good time. Beautiful theater. It's like the best. It might be the best.

It's so fun. It might be the best theater in the country. I don't know what else would be better. Y'all have done a lot of the big ones, right? I mean, it's like, sounds perfect, feels good. It's y'all done a lot of the big ones right? I mean it's like sounds perfect, feels good, it feels like a club as dumb as that sounds but they're kind of right on top of you and yeah you say it does sound dumb? No no it sounds like a club it sounds intimate. Okay. You can't do two questions back to back like that. That's true. I do that to my daughter. My daughter will answer the second question. I say do you want to go here? Do you want to go there? And she'll say yes. second question. I said, do you want to go here? Do you want to go there? And she'll say yes. That's like it's the second one she wants. Anyway, Nate's CBS holiday special is filming this

week. I think Thursday at the Grand Ole Opry House. That's where he is today. He's getting ready for that. That's going to be super exciting. I think that comes out. Was it December 19th? Yeah. December 19th, co-produced by Lorne Michaels. Yeah. Pretty exciting stuff. So keep an eye out for that. A lot happened in the Nate Land. I'll mention a couple things very quickly and then we'll talk more about it later. But Greg Warren, friend of the show, one of the best, he's recording his Next Hour special in Columbus, Ohio, November 23rd.

First show sold out. There are tickets available to the second show. And then Mike Vecchione, old friend of the show. He's recording an hour special in Nashville, December 28th. Tickets available for both shows. So if you want to check out a couple of specials of, uh, go to see Dusty's in February. But if you want to see some other Nate Land friends, we got a couple options there for you in the coming months. That's awesome.

I do want to say we've all performed in Chattanooga a lot over the years at the Comedy Catch. And Chattanooga has always been a great comedy place. I like it. That's why I'm excited to do the special there. Yeah, and they've got a couple of theaters, Walker being one of them that are really nice. Yeah, I miss the Comedy Catch.

I do miss them. The Comedy Catch is And, um, I miss the comedy catch. I do miss them. The comedy catch is like, that's a mainstream room, dude. That's like, uh, try to figure out the way to describe it. I remember being very young in comedy and I went to Chattanooga and did the comedy catch and I was like, Oh, this is real people. Yeah. So different from, you know, where you perform as an open mic or where you're in this. JJ's Bohemia. Yes. Yeah. Places like that. JJ's is great. JJ's is fun. Right. But it's just totally different. But it's a, yeah, it's more of

a, it sounds bad to say, but it's like more of a hip scene, right? If you go, once you go to an actual mainstream club, it is regular people. Yes. So you're like, Oh, I got to like my hip cultural references may not get me by here. Oh, man. They don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. People have jobs. They don't know like the new snarky thing

to talk about on Twitter. Yeah. You know, and I remember being like, oh man, I need to figure it out because these are the crowds that you need to be able to perform in front of these crowds. Well, that's how it was for me in Charleston. Charleston was like a real like hip artsy city and I was like doing really well there and then when I left and started working the road

I was like oh man this is a different gang out here. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Now last time we talked about Comedy Catch wasn't there like didn't Danielle the, the owner, challenge you, Dusty, to a swimming race? Yeah, I'm ready. To build a, but it was, a green room was on the line, right? Yeah. Yeah. So nothing ever came of that.

Well, I'm ready, you know what I mean? Here's what came of it. Dusty's coming back to the city and recording a special at a different venue. So there you go. Well, let's, hey, if there's an indoor pool in Chattanooga, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it after the special. That's right.

So that I don't get hurt. Cause I was, when I was in Canada, I talked about this on my own podcast, but I, when I was in Canada, I swam in a lake up there and I was swimming and I was like, man, my shoulders are older now and it is not as easy. Well, swimming uses muscles you don't use in everyday life. So I admitted on my own podcast that I may not be as fast as I once was.

But you know what? Just like that old Toby Keith song, I ain't as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was. That's what I think. Give me one straight shot. Yeah. I think I can. All right.

Did you guys watch the Mike Tyson fight? I did, man. Exciting, thrilling. Down to the last round. It was really close. The fight right before it was unbelievable. Yeah. I forget their names.

It was unbelievable fight. And then the Mike Tyson fight was like, it was like sad, it was like depressing. I got mad that I watched it. I do think that's part of it though. You have these big headlining things just to get people to watch these other, you know, really good fighters

that otherwise nobody will be watching. People saying the fight itself was rigged. That probably is. The Tyson fight? Yeah. Yeah. For what reason? To make tens of millions of dollars. Yeah, you don't want to make. Well, they're gonna make that takeaway though.

Yeah, but I think Jake Paul might be kind of the future of boxing for at least entertainment purposes. So if he wins, it looks good. And if Mike Tyson knocks him out at 60 years old, which he probably could have, I think, if he knocks him out at 60 years old, which he probably could have, I think if he knocks him out at 60 years old, that's not looking too good for Jay Paul. So you think, y'all think Tyson could have won? No, I think so. No, I mean, dude, I mean, he's 60. I remember like when it

happened, I was like, I feel dumb forever thinking this could have been close. Everybody thought Tyson was going to kill him. Yeah, well, because that was nostalgia. I shouldn't say everyone. Sure, sure. You remember Mike Tyson when he was 18 years old, 19 years old,

knocking everybody out, right? Yeah, I mean, I grew up. Well, this is a 27-year-old kid who's a good boxer, who's knocked people out before, versus a 60-year-old man. Yeah, 50. I mean, even if the greatest of all time, he was the greatest of all time 40 years ago. So I felt dumb for even thinking this could have been close.

I should have bet a lot of money on what is now the obvious. In hindsight, it's obvious. Not to dusty. I don't think if, I think if Mike Tyson really got some licks on him, I think he could have knocked him out. I mean, Mike Tyson still super sure he could have but he didn't.

Right, but he did Mike Tyson. I think it's right. I think boxing is easy to rig and I think that's why it went down in popularity because people caught on to it. So I think it's easier to rig than you said. Mike Tyson landed more punches. He could have not. He could have won. I didn't watch the fights to be fair,

but I do think that is how much he could score more points. They could have won the game. It's like, yeah, that's how it works. Yeah, yeah, of course. But I'm saying though, I think he could have done it. I mean, I was deliberately. Yeah, I saw a couple of highlights on the internet where he like lit him up a couple of times and I'm like, yeah, he could have kept that going and he would have been out. I think he just he was out of out of energy by that third round and he had done it by then.

He was just holding on. He looked wiped. Yeah, and maybe. Yeah, that's where the age sets in. Yeah. Well, you missed. Netflix really handled all the traffic really well, I mean it was it was a nightmare for you to You know it out every two seconds. No, I mean there was a few times where It never even buffered on me a couple times. It wasn't clear. It would like Got pixelated pixelated a little resolution dropped. Yeah, but it's a mess for me But as one of those I I mean, kudos to them. They pulled off. They made 10s of dollars to make a little money here at the end and 20 million, right? Yeah. They made a ton of money.

Yeah. And we all watched a big nothing. I feel like that's so many of Mike Tyson's fights over the last several years. Like, well, I remember watching a Linux Lewis fight way back. That was his last real big one. Yeah. And it was like he just got punched in the face a ton of times. That was people still holding on to Tyson still had something. Right. Yeah. Lennox Lewis was the champion. And then he was so big. Yeah. Yeah. People's champion. Do you

want to get into some comments? Let's do it. Comments come from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Reviews, and at Brian Bates comic on Instagram. No. Cole Slaw. natelyn at natebargetzi.com. Okay. natelyn and natebargetzi.com. First comment comes from Cole Slaw. I love Cole Slaw. Cole Slaw is great, but do you think his first name is actually Cole and Slaw is a nickname? Or do you think that that's a real name? I think his real name's Cole, not Slaw. Yeah, me too. That's what I'm saying, yeah. Yeah. Cole Slaw.

I don't think there's ever been a bad episode of Nate Land. I'll challenge you on that. But this one was particularly enjoyable. The combination of the subject, the fact that all the hosts were there, and Joe Zimmerman was such a fun guest. He's been catapulted onto my Mount Rushmore of Nate Land guest, along with War Dog and Vecchione.

Who's War Dog? That's Greg Warren. Oh, Warren. That was his old nickname back in the rest of the day. War Dog. All right. That's a high compliment. That's high praise for a Nate Land fan right there.

Yeah. For a barbecue side, you know, to give us this compliment. Getting compliments from sides. Next comment, potato salad. Just, uh, no, it's Erica Zachoraz... Erica Zachoresqui. Erica Z. Just wanted to acknowledge Blackbird Bates saying, who?

When Dusty said he thought the dove was an owl because of the sound it made. No one at the table laughed. I laughed out loud. You're welcome. Boom. Thank you, Eric. I don't think Brian was making a joke. I think that you just, Erica, you got it. You're like, that's a good joke, but I don't think he was making a joke.

I think he was, but I think it got what it deserves. Not only did I make it, I even looked at the camera and kind of like, well. You Jim them. Yeah. You Jim. Little bit. Oh, that's fun to do on an audio podcast. Have you heard?

Let me know about it now. A dove though. You like I used to think that there was an owl outside my house. And then one day I saw a dove sitting on my back deck. And I told us this last week. I don't I didn't get into the details. And then I saw it making the sound. Who? No, but it's like, whoo, like I can't do it, but it's like, you could play a dub sound. Okay. Well, thank you, Erica. I'm playing chess. These guys

playing checkers. Let's move on. There's a great, you ever watch old Steve Harvey stand up? Yeah. One of the best of all time. It was my favorite. It's got a story about going to his niece's wedding in Cleveland, and it's just sort of like he keeps calling it a raggedy wedding. It's just like anyway, he takes us through the whole story. But the end, he's like, they go out for the releasing of the doves at this wedding with no budget.

All this. He said they opened the dove cage. All kinds of birds was in there. It wasn't a dove in the bunch. They had pigeons came out, black crows, chickens came. I think about that every time I see the word dove. Go check that out. It's called ghetto wedding or something like that. But it's Steve Harvey.

So good. Kristen wood. I'm pretty sure Aaron mentioned he was going to see Creed in a previous episode. All of this could have been avoided. I don't remember doing that, but. I thought there was an episode a few months ago where you said you were going to see them at a CIN amphitheater.

That's right. I had a lot of the details mixed up. And then Nate did say, then I am too. Oh, okay. And then three months later, when you guys said you saw him at Bridgestone, like man, Cree comes to Nashville alive. That's right.

Jumping around venues too. Rob White, not Ron White, Rob White. With Dusty and his conspiracy theories, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the birds aren't real movement. Well, I think that's kind of a hack conspiracy. Well, it's not even that. People always say, I can't believe Dusty's not into it. That's making fun of conspiracy theories. It is. Yeah. It's like an ironic... Some of the videos they make are very funny.

I mean, there probably are some fake birds. Let's be honest. but birds are real. Come on guys. But what is the bird? We did a whole episode on like spy gear and how they, you know, it's like, at this point, I bet they got some pigeons in New York City that are robots. Yeah. I don't know about New York, but I do think they've created spy gear. Yeah. Like I do think that's true birds or humming bees or I mean that is a bird but humming bees I mean humming birds honey you think the hummingbirds are fake it could be that'd be the easiest one to fake see I don't

think so I think that'd be a really hard one to make well a pig looks like a drone almost a pigeon in New York maybe maybe almost a pigeon in New York. Maybe, maybe, but a pigeon in New York City, just, you know, just walking around on the streets. Okay. You know what I mean? What's it do? It's spied on people at the bus stop. Yeah. Who knows? Yeah. Everybody's in New York. Maybe, maybe. So I guess the, so some of them aren't real, but

most of them are. Well, I, you know, I'm just saying the birds aren't real movement. So many of the conspiracy movements that are actually mainstream, I believe it's all controlled opposition. What is their, they're not claiming to really think that their whole thing is just to make fun of conspiracy theorists. What does controlled opposition mean? Well, it's like, you know, you want to, you know, you want to create the other side.

Like you're like, oh, we're going to we're going to say we support the conspiracy. But then they'll usually go so over the top and crazy with it that they actually become a joke. Right. Sure, sure, sure. To take credibility away from the other. Yes. The other side. That's perfectly fair.

Justin Higgins, I use an app called Merlin that will listen to all the bird songs that are currently audible and then tell you which birds you're hearing. That's pretty amazing. Yeah, a few people told us that Merlin. But how would you even know if it's accurate? Just like Shazam, I don't know. I know. But you just have to trust it to know. Because you can't confirm it.

You can't ask it. Hey, what kind of Merlin could tell me what they were saying. That would be it could tell you what they're saying. If it could do that. This would be the top comment of the podcast. If there was an app that could translate bird language, Marsha Coke. Great name. Marsha Coke and coleslaw. I mean, we've got unbelievable names today. Marsha Coke, Autobahn versus Autobahn had me yelling at the TV.

I don't know how the crew behind the camera keep from correcting him. Hilarious episode. I don't understand how Marsha Koch doesn't see how those two things aren't pretty similar. It's hilarious. Of all the egregious errors we made on the podcast, that's, that's one where you're like, all right, I've had enough. Somebody correct them.

She's yelling at the TV. You got to lay off the Cokes there, Marsha. Marsha Koch, the Coke family. That's a great name. I get it. Yeah. And Jim and John Coke. I told Tristan never opened his mouth.

So better not say that. A lot of times the crew does try to speak up. Brian shuts them down real quick. Yeah. He goes, I don't know who you think you're talking to. Shut it. I'm breakfast baits. That's right.

Next comment comes from JB DDS. JB DDS. JB... yeah. Dusty. Think about all the millions of babies that now get immediate skin to skin after birth because of that study. Science is beautiful, man. The parents also consented to participate in the study. So the researchers weren't sick or evil or anything they were just trying to figure out what is best for babies and they debunked the opposing theory that Nikki baby should be kept in incubators for fear of germs well all right buddy but it's like, yeah. Okay.

So, I mean, no one's saying science is not beautiful. Except you. Okay. Now, that's the biggest common misconception is that people think that everything a scientist does is beautiful. And it's like, yeah, science is great. But just because, you know, who doesn't know that when the baby is born, that the baby who the mom has been carried this whole time should go right to its mom and let its mom hold them and then it's cold and

the skin to skin warms them up. Who doesn't know that everyone knows that. I'm going to push back on that. I don't think that that's intuitive and obvious, that of all the immediate concerns for a newborn baby, that skin-to-skin contact should be a priority. I don't think you knew that. I don't think you would know that. I knew it. If you got parachuted into a birth of a child

knowing nothing, you would go, well, obviously make sure the skin touches the mother immediately. Well, no, but You would go, well, obviously make sure the skin touches the mother immediately. Well, no, but you would go, alright, that baby just came out of the mom, let the mom hold the baby. Well, that's not what they're saying. They're saying that there's an immediate medical benefit for the skins to be touching each other. Yeah, but you know. Such that it takes priority over other things that need to be done to a new one. I don't each other. Yeah, but you know. Such that it takes priority over other things

that need to be done to a new one. I don't think so. I think, you know, sometimes things need to be done. Sometimes immediate things need to be done, but I think the natural immediate thing that needs to be done is that the mother and the child should bond and should be held close to each other.

And it's like, I think that's an obvious. But why? Well, it doesn't matter why. Yeah, it does. It doesn't matter why. You just, you want to make sure that child is comforted by its mother and that it's like the person that's been carrying me, the voice that I've heard, I now recognize the first person I see in this world is the mom that's

carried me for nine months. And I think it's just obvious. And you know, the why I think is secondary to just knowing that it's obvious. But your why is wrong. This isn't in the one you just stated is wrong. It's not like for the emotional benefit of the mother or for the baby. They're saying that there is a physical, a literal physical thing happening.

Well, sure, but that doesn't make me wrong. It means that, you know, because of this natural instinct that we have that the baby should be close to its mother immediately results in this positive scientific thing happening. All we've done here is we go, well, we know that this makes sense, but let's dig into it and let's find out what it really does. It doesn't make anybody wrong, but it's obvious that all of nature, the moment the baby is born, it needs to bond with its mother. I mean, all animals. The moment the baby is born, it needs to bond with its mother. I mean, all animals.

I can understand an argument though, if it was a preemie, a sick baby, I can understand the thought, oh, the best thing we can do for it is to get it in an incubator where it doesn't need germs to make it sick. Just temperature regulation is a real problem. Yeah, for sure.

I mean, if there are problems, it's like, all right, let's do some, let's take some precautions. But even then, I think there should be a moment. I personally believe that the first person the baby lays eyes on and makes eye contact with should be its mom. I think it's very important for eye contact, for this baby to know, hey, here's my mom. This is what she sounds like. I know what she sounds like. This is I know what she

sounds like. This is what she looks like. I think that's very important. How would that work? What do you mean for her to be the first? Why do you think that's well, even if the baby sees other things is still handed to her and that they lock in that eye contact making. I think that's important. I think the eyes are the window to the soul, as it said. So it's like, let's make some eye contact with my mom, the one that's carried me.

I wanted to make sure that happened with our babies. And I'm secondary, I'm next. But I wanted to make sure that Hannah and our kids had that real time together before I ever got involved. Right, right. You know? I saw a picture of you holding baby Olive. Yeah.

Yeah, he came by yesterday. Babies are the sweetest, most delicate things in the world. And it's like, we should, that comfort of being like, all right, what's going on? I'm being, I've been in this, this womb for this amount of time and now I'm coming out. And now all these doctors and all these people, they got lights and everywhere. Where's my mom? I think that, so the baby doesn't have some trauma right away.

It's like, give me my mom. And then, you know, if there's issues, if there's, you know, things that happen, you know, obviously we gotta like, you know, we gotta take care of them. But I think it's important to have that mom baby connection. Yeah. And all this guy's saying is that, yeah, they confirm that with the- Well, I don't remember all what we talked about, but he goes, the researchers weren't sick or evil or anything.

We were joking about them being sick. But I'm like, were we? I don't know what the- Yeah. I don't remember what the study was exactly. We're talking about the study proved that skin to skin contact was beneficial. Yeah, but what was the study? And then we joked that it was like, were we? I don't know what the, I don't remember what the study was. We're talking about the study proved that skin to skin contact was, was beneficial. Yeah, but what was the study?

And then we joked that it was like, what, do they deprive some babies from skin to skin? That's kind of sick to do that. Right. Well, it is. The point is we didn't, the study was, okay, I guess you nailed it, baby. Well, I mean, just think about it though. This guy wants to believe that this is just some, scientist just having tea going, ooh, I can't wait till we find some research on babies and figure out what helps them when really some,

probably some sick people in some sterile room somewhere going, all right, here's the baby, get it out of here, get it out of here real quick. And it's just like, they don't care. And that's my take. This guy's take is everything is roses and rainbows. And mine is a more realistic point of view and that the world is sick.

We live in a sick world out here. That's right. Could be the name of your next special. Yeah, the world is sick out here. I mean, and it's like, we gotta do our best to make sure our babies get love because there are a lot of you know sickness out here and I'm not saying I don't know these scientists but I think a lot of these experiments are

sick. Yeah not necessarily this one. Who knows but which is trying to help a guy that won't even put any of it. You won't even use any vowels in his name. J.B. DDS. I guess he's a dentist. Is that what DDS means? Yeah. That's like MD, but for dentists. So this is Dr.

JB. He's a dentist. I guess. Okay. He's doing a lot of root canals on people. I know he's doing root canals on babies. This guy's sick. This guy's sick. JB guy's sick, JB.

I mean, come on. You should be ashamed of yourself. I just, you know, I don't know that these people were sick, right? I'm just, but it's just like the idea that you knew that that meant Dennis the whole time, you just kind of let us look like idiots. I just assumed he goes, you went to Notre Dame. Science is beautiful, man. The parents also consented to participate in the study.

Did they? Did you talk to them? Oh, you're putting a lot of tone of voice into that. I'm going to read the same comment, but in how I think you wrote it. Science is beautiful, man. The parents also consented to participate in the study. Did they though? I mean, yeah, but you read that as science is beautiful, man. He's not yelling at us. He had an exclamation point. He goes, skin after skin birth because of that study. That's not.

He's got an exclamation point. Is that how you read every sentence with an exclamation point? Yes, it is. Exclamation point doesn't necessarily imply anger from whoever's writing it. I want to see the study that says, how many babies got skin to skin contact before this study

and then how many after. I want to see because he said millions of babies that now get immediate skin to skin birth because of that study. But maybe they were all doing skin to skin birth before that and these doctors were like, do we really need this? Let's do a study to see if it even helps. Maybe that's what happened. Well, we think now, cause I just went through this, it was like procedural. They told us from, it's like right after the baby's born, the first thing they do is they're gonna put her up

for skin to skin. So it's just like part of the process now. Maybe it was before though. That's all I'm saying. Okay, I love this guy JB DDS period. I didn't know that meant Dennis. Who puts that in there? Did he identify himself that way? No, I don't I don't know. I mean, I don't know why it's capital D, little d, capital S.

I think it's a lot. PhD, the little, capital S. I think it's a lot. It's like PhD. The little h is little. I think it's a lot. All right. You know what we all need to get more of? We need to get off our butts and get into some action. And it's fun to do that with Mountain Dew.

Mountain Dew has bold flavors and a refreshing citrus kick. It'll get you off the sofa and have you feeling like you're charging up the side of an actual mountain. You know, that kind of mountain where the weather's perfect, your friends are ready to hang and a full day of epic games are happening. Can you imagine? I can. Check out all these amazing flavors. Original, Baja Blast, Code Red, Voltage. I mean, the Baja Blast is the best. I'll debate anybody on that. When I get to go on tour, especially with Nate, they love to play games. You've seen the pictures. We've talked about it. We're doing stuff all

over the place. Basketball, the best part of that is relaxing afterwards cooling off with a refreshing Mountain Dew The mountain is calling you should answer grab your friends grab an ice-cold Mountain Dew wherever Refreshing beverages are sold and do the do and I just want to reiterate It really is a great drink and you should drink it Lindsay Blair, so next comment Lindsay Blair dusty is the real-life version of Bill Hader's character Dave From Hot Rod and I cannot unsee it I'm actually curious to hear Aaron's thoughts on the movie since we're around the same age. I'm 32 It's one of my favorite comedies,

but it's definitely a love it or hate it movie. We're having some internet connectivity problems here. I've never seen the movie. Never heard of it. I like Bill Hader though, so I'm into it. I like Bill Hader. It's, I looked it up, I think it's the Andy Sandberg movie where they're like racing dirt bikes.

Yeah, I remember seeing previews for the movie, but I never saw the movie. But, uh, no, you do kind of look like he's got a wolf t-shirt on. Oh yeah. I mean, yeah, I mean, I'm into it. Thanks, Lindsay. I guess that's a compliment. I think I'm sorry.

I haven't seen it. Lindsay. There's a lot of movies I haven't seen. I still haven't seen snow day with Josh pack. I'll burn it. So an airdrop it to you. Okay. Yeah, please airdrop it. Just start airdropping movies around the plane. Anybody trying to watch Limitless? Just start airdropping it. The hero of the plane. Susan Gaston.

Especially if the internet's not working on the plane. Oh, you're a hero. And I go, I got movies I can air drop to. Who wants one? Comedy, romance, drama? Oh, yeah. Susan Gassman. That's a tough, tough name.

Gassman. The Gassman. How did they know I had gas? Remember that? Susan Gassman. Veal is young beef, lamb is young sheep and mutton is older sheep. Dusty is correct that if you wanna eat younger animals, you wanna eat younger animals as older animals

can be more tough. Also a general rule of thumb is that you wanna eat animals that eat grass or corn. Yeah, come on, Susan. That's what I'm talking about. You know what I mean? Finally, a Dusty was right comment up in here. Wait, I never thought about that. All the animals you eat, eat grass or corn. All right. Not necessarily, right? I mean, what else? All the animals I eat. I don't even like fish.

I don't even like corn, though, because, you know, we got a lot of GMO corn out here now. But I heard that fattened them up. The only two edible foods that you don't have to kill something for is milk and honey. Hmm. How about that? Though I bet you kill some bees in the process of getting honey, don't you think? I mean, they're making the honey if you're good at it.

They're making honey for a reason, right? I don't know why they make it. I guess it is for a reason. Yeah. So you're taking it from... We should do a study. Maybe JBDDS knows about it. You don't think that's important to know like how we treat bees? Yeah, I do. That's what I'm saying. Let's get some studies. Let's do see if skin to skin matters to bees when they're going fur to fur.

That would hurt. Wing to wing. Does it matter? That's good. I think I mistakenly, I forgot what veal was. Yeah. And I got some comments about it. Yeah, we messed up. People are not happy. We messed up.

People went, oh, Mr. Notre Dame doesn't know what veal is, as if that's like a course you take at Notre Dame. That's the first thing they teach at Notre Dame. That's right. I majored in cuts of meat. But it's in the arts and letters department. Butcher Brian. That's right.

Butcher Bates. Thank you, Susan Gasman. Sorry, I harped on your name so much. Next comment comes from Bren3669. I don't think the Pinocchio paradox is an actual paradox. Being wrong isn't the same as lying. Well, in this made up scenario that we- I think he misunderstands the paradox though.

I don't think so. I had the same, I asked the same question. Yeah, I just feel like for this made-up pretend scenario Pinocchio Did know and was lying you can make it either way, but for the paradox to work. Yeah He would have to know that that's not true. What I just said. I want him to ask is Geppetto a good dad People loved your breakdown Pinocchio,. They want you to break down all the kids stories. Yeah, we got to go through some old Disney movies and let's just dissect them together.

I mean, I agree. If Pinocchio was just mistaken, then that wouldn't be a paradox, right? So, can we walk through it again very quickly? Pinocchio says, my nose is about to grow. Yes, my nose grows now. My nose grows now. Yeah. And in the way I took it, he's telling somebody that he knows that's not true, but he tells him that. He lies to him on purpose. And then, but since he lied, that made his nose grow. But then since it grew, technically he was telling the truth. So it shouldn't have grown. Okay.

Well, you said you know, I mean, yeah, I'm getting a little trip ran 366 9 brain right there. Yeah, it's fun. It's a fun one. I just I just lost my train of thought. We love you, Brian. 366. Thank you, Brian.

3669. Next time. JVD DS. I love69. I love JBDDS. I love JBDDS. I still like Cole Slaw. Eric Bowling. The Bowling family. What do you all do on the weekends?

Laser tag. Guy on stage wore a hat that said, God is dope at church today. I'm not usually a fan of hats in church, but I do in fact believe that God is dope, so it's acceptable. Some people think heroin is dope. Put that on the hat. I don't know. What is this? I guess it depends on your definition of dope that day. That is true. Yeah.

Yeah, I get it. I would never wear that day. Yeah, it's true. Yeah. Yeah, I get it. I would never wear that hat. Yeah. Or, yeah. Yeah. There's a lot I don't like about that. But people are different. I bet that's not a Catholic Church. People are guaranteed it's not a Catholic Church. Yeah. What kind of church do you think it is? I think it's a rip jeans. Yeah. Non den Church. Yeah. What kind of church do you think it is? I think it's a rip jeans. Non-denominational. Yeah. Where everybody's ripped jeans. In a strip mall. Something like that. Yeah. And look, different, you know, everybody's different.

It's just a personal thing. We're not mad at you. Yeah, I don't think that that person... We are mad at the guy who wore that hat. No, I'm not even mad at him. It's just I personally wouldn't wear it. Extremely upsetting. Mm-hmm. Okay. Six. God is dope. Yo.

You know, if it were Catholic, it would have been the Virgin Mary's lit. Yeah. Ashley Matthews, I think a hats episode could be interesting as you are all clearly hat connoisseurs. Ashley, I think we're about to prove you wrong. Yes, you are. Let's get into it. Correct. Let's talk about hats. I noticed last week. This is bottom of the barrel, ladies and gentlemen. I'm getting, I'm excited. I'm actually excited. I'm a big hat. Of course I am. I'm a hat guy. Yeah, of course. I noticed last week's episode. This is very rare. Usually, I'm the only one not wearing a hat.

Mm hmm. Last week, four out of the five of us were not wearing a hat. I think it's the first time it's ever been where the majority were not wearing a hat. Dusty was the only one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. For whatever reason, you and Nate both weren't. Well, I got called out on this podcast for wearing a Braves jersey and Nate both weren't. Well, I got called out on this podcast for wearing a Braves jersey and a Braves hat. During the eclipse? During the eclipse. Yeah. So I think I was leaving the house. I had a Braves pullover on. I go, what's the move

here? Let me ask you this. Do you think that jinxed the Braves? That you wore both of those on the eclipse day? No. That's why they started to... There was a lot. There were bad things happening to the Braves before that happened. You mean you only have Braves hats? No, but what do I, would I wear a different team and wear two teams at once? So all your hats are a team? Most of them. Yeah.

Most of them are, a team or like a brand or something, or a NASCAR or something. You gotta be a real company man like Brian. That's right, I would've worn that hat. Yeah. People, and by the way, people ask where they can buy this. I don't remember who sent us this hat, to be honest with you. This is not something that Nate sells.

I think a fan sent this to us. It's a nice hat though. It is a nice hat. So people always ask, how can we buy one? I don't know. You can buy this one. Put a price on it. Do you guys wear hats on stage?

You do, Dusty. Yeah. Yeah. Do you ever wear a hat on stage, Brian? One time I did a show with Dusty at Stand Up Live in Huntsville and I had shingles on my face. Got to put some cream on it. And I think Dusty took me somewhere to, you know, oh yeah oh yeah, the Shingle Ladies. I didn't even think about that. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I think that's, besides maybe the open mic occasionally, it's the only time I've ever wore a hat on a real show. Did it hurt me? Did it like hurt the whole show? Uh, it didn't feel

good. Okay. This was a corporate gig, right? That we both, I don't think so. Okay. I don't think so. Um, I just remember saying to you, are you okay with me right? That we both. I don't think so. Okay. I don't think so. I just remember saying to you, are you okay with me still going? Come on. I'm not afraid of it. Yeah. Yeah.

I've had skin stuff before. So you own a ton of hats. I do, yeah. Desi, you own a ton of trucker hats. I'd say two tons. I was gonna ask you. How many hats do you think you own? Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask.

Have you counted it? I don't know. I did have to move some around the other day. I mean, I would say, I don't know, let's say 200 hats. Yeah. That's about where I'm at, I think. 200. Where do you keep them?

Well, I moved them all to the top shelf of my closet, one that wasn't really being utilized. And I bet, yeah, I mean, it's so many hats. I like to buy them as souvenirs if I go to a ball game or if I go to a stadium or anything, I like to get a hat. I've been with you before when you've done that. That's right. Yeah, it's just something, a fun thing to take away from it. And then that just piles up over the years, dude.

And then people start giving you hats and then, you know, I get so many hat. I just started buying them. I got a hat guy who knows how to find some old school trucker hats. But up until then, people had just been giving me hats. I still get hats, a lot of hats. You got like an American Pickers guy going out buying you hats?

Well, yeah, we met at a show in Missouri and Cape Gerardo. He came and hung out. And then he was like, oh yeah, he's like, I sell hats. I get vintage hats and I sell them. And he sent me so many pictures of hats and I've been, this guy's really got my number. It's a nice one he got on right now, Louisiana. Yeah.

It's a good looking old vintage hat. Yeah. I'm jealous of that. My, and this is, I have jokes about it in my act, but it is true. My head is so big that I can't wear most hats. You wouldn't be able to wear this one. Couldn't wear that one.

I'm on the last. Couldn't wear that one for sure. This is a new era 5950. I'm rocking one button and it's not as comfortable as I'd like it to be. What does 5950 mean? 5950 is the... Ha ha ha ha ha hat, like the structure of it and the size. So there's like a 49 and 29, it's all just different crown sizes and you notice the difference

just visually. Where do you even see that? Is it listed on the tag? Oh yeah, yeah. It's all in the tag. I don't think I've ever bought a fitted hat, but that's basically all you try to do, right? I don't like the way I... No, for whatever reason, I'd rather wear a snapback with one button than wear the fitted hat. I don't know. Fitted hats feel weird to me. Oh, I thought you loved fitted hats. Like a Fred Durst. In high school, the fitted hat was... I mean, I'm, you know, I'm, I'm 10 years older, but

when I was in high school, the fitted hat, that's what everybody wanted. I mean, that was, you get a fitted hat. They didn't even have them back then. No, I don't think they've been invented back then. They were top hats and stuff. Have you guys ever, not for fun or ironically, you wear a trucker hat, you wear baseball caps, or either for work or some other style of your life, and any other type of hat. Not trying to be funny, but like,

either you think it looks good or for your job. With my hair, if I wear a baseball cap, it really looks bad. Why? I don't know, it just does. I need a high-rodin hat. This is about as small as I can go with. Well, this is about the same crown size as that.

It's pretty high. I like the design of this hat, but I'm not particularly fond of the shape. I gotta tell you, a different hat type would just immediately change your whole vibe. If you had a little train conductor hat on, you'd be like, this guy runs a train. He conducts it.

Yeah, I'm saying the trucker hat gives shape to everything else about it. Yeah, it's the finishing piece. Where if you had any type of hat, I would go that makes sense with the rest of them. One of those little bellhop hats, you can put that on. We'll put it to the test today. I got a hat I'm gonna wear for my, I'm gonna do a short segment. Okay.

Dusty was on Pete Holmes' podcast, and he kept talking about how the hat changed his life and transformed it, and Pete was laughing so hard. He was like, you're saying it's like the mask where the character totally transformed when you put the hat on. Yeah. As far as comics that wear hats is is part of what you think of it. I think you might be the top one. Drew Thomas, we mentioned last week

or week before. Yeah. He always wears hat and then take it off and put it on the mic stand. Doesn't he have like a paper boy hat? What kind of hat? You know what I'm talking about? I don't know what that is. The extra extra read all about it hat? You know what I'm talking about? I don't know what that is. The extra extra read all about it hat. You know what I'm talking about? I don't think you think about Drew Thomas though with a hat though.

I don't. I don't. Larry the cable guy, I think of. Yeah. I guess I always noticed Drew Thomas cause he hangs it on the mic stand. Maybe that's why I don't think of him though because he takes it off. Well, the reason I asked about that up top is the conventional thinking with

standup is at least I was taught early on, you're not supposed to wear a hat. Yeah. It's, it's the same things that make, uh, uh, I've heard Seinfeld talk about this. The same things that make a politician trust worth, right? No beard, no hats, nothing covering up your face, hiding your facial expressions. Those are the same things you should try to do as a comedian.

There's a re, I think JD Vance is the first vice president or president to have a beard since- Abe Lincoln. Since, not Abe Lincoln, but I think like maybe. I don't know, Grover Cleveland or one of those. He seems like he has a beard, Grover Cleveland. I don't know what he looks like. Well, he was a fat guy, right?

So I think you gotta have a beard. Probably, you better be thinking about Taft. Nah, I think he was pretty fat too. Yeah, you're probably right. Cleveland's pretty fat. Yeah, I think, I mean, Teddy Roosevelt had facial hair, so it's not since Lincoln, but it's probably been early. Oh, mustache is different.

Mustache doesn't even count as facial hair. Like in the military, I think, you're not allowed to have facial hair, but you can have a mustache. And in restaurant business, you can only have the mustache, not a beard. You know, there's some baseball teams that can't have facial hair.

Yeah. The New York Yankees, famously, will make you shave your beard when you have to have a clean face. You can have a mustache. A couple of guys on the team have mustaches, but they will make you shave your beard when you have to have a clean face. You can have a mustache. A couple of guys on the team have mustaches, but they will make you shave the beard. And I read on Twitter some baseball reporters talking

about that rule alone has caused some people to be like, I don't want to go play for the Yankees. Not because of that specific rule, but you're like, if you're going to be that particular about something as unimportant as my facial hair, I don't want to play in that kind of culture. Isn't that crazy? And then they offer so much money that you're like,

ah, all right, I'll do it. And then they go, do you want $680 million over four years? They're like, yeah, I'll shave my head. I'm okay. Shave my eyebrows. See, yeah, Grove Cleveland's pretty fat. Yeah. But Taft, for some reason, Taft is the only guy that gets talked about as being fat. But I mean, let's be honest here. I mean, come on.

Especially during that time. Yeah. And if you're gonna be, if your name is Grover, you gotta stay in shape. This guy looks like everybody I know right now. But back then, that's big. Yeah. There's about like a hundred comics. I know yeah That's athletic He's got that top hat It's what they wore back there I guys went in Bear knuckle boxing matches out here. Yeah lived in some triangular So you guys never wore like a beret you had a beret face or Coonskin hat best., as a kid for sure.

I wanted to be Davy Crockett. What is the type of hat I was talking about? The extra extra? That's a Newsboys hat. Derby hat? The Irish hat. The Irish hat. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, this hat. Oh, is that what he wears? No, I don't know. I thought that's what he wore. What is that called? A Newsboy hat. Now if you're listening, this is the hat that. It's also's what he wore. What is that called a newsboy hat? Now, if you're listening, this is the hat that... It's also like a fedora. That's not a fedora. It's where like it's got a

bill like a baseball hat, but then it kind of droops over to the front of the bill, where in my opinion, it looks ridiculous, but some people can pull it off. Older people pull it off. If you are 1930s Brooklyn, you can wear that hat. Or Peaky Blinders as you see up there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Now do you know what hat with the hat was called that? Walter White's alter ego Heisenberg war. Oh man, what is that hat called? I would have never got this pork pie hat. Pork pie hat. Yeah. Pork pie. What does that come from? I don't know. It probably was made out of some kind of pork skin.

I had kind of a hat like that that I was wearing for a little while. I like that hat, but I got made fun of online one time. Just a very slight remark. Oh yeah, I think... That was enough to do it in for me. Wait, you wore a hat like this? I had a hat like that I was wearing for a while. Yeah, that's what I was asking you guys. Have you ever forgot

about it? Probably 2016 or something. I feel like there was a picture of you and Ed Wiley. Were you really? Maybe. Yeah. And you look like I'm yeah, you look like a little bit like a Amish last missionary. I was just you know, I was messing around with hats. I found it in a store and it was a Stetson. I found it in a store in Newport City and I liked it. Did you ever have a phase where you wore a cowboy hat on a regular basis? No. I always wanted to. Now I don't are you because I feel like we're both from basically the same yeah same part of Alabama. I did not have a

lot of friends. Nobody wore cowboy hats. Did not have a lot of friends that wore cowboy boots either. Same thing for you? Yeah, a lot of my roads were paved. Yeah, Opelika is not a real cowboy hat place. And you get out to Texas, that's where you see more of that. Oklahoma, Texas, Mexico. Yeah, I think people fake Tennessee's like that. And I'm not saying I don't ever see it, but generally speaking. How often do you see a guy unironically wearing a cowboy hat at the grocery store? Never.

Like, very, very rarely. I mean, I know people, I don't know the grocery store. I grew up in the country. There's guys I know out there who wore cowboy hats. Still do. They work on a farm. Oh, while they're working on a farm. Yeah. But they would wear their nice cowboy hat out to a restaurant. They take it off and they get there. I love to see a cowboy. They're dying off, right?

Probably. Probably, that's a little sad. I love a cowboy hat. Sorry, I like the idea of it. I just look, I had so big, I look dumb. I mean, Yellowstone probably maybe has helped it, the show Yellowstone. That's so big. I look dumb. And I mean, Yellowstone probably maybe has helped it. The show Yellowstone. That's probably true.

I used to wear a duster though, in school. What's a duster? It's like a long leather coat. Oh my God. Yeah. A Columbine looking. No, I mean more like a, like a hip cowboy. Yeah.

Callie. Uh, duck, duck, go is not working today. What's it called? A d cowboy. Yeah. Kali. Duck Duck Go is not working today. What's it called? A duster? Yeah. I remember a duster jacket from Red Dead Redemption. Yeah. Yeah. These look sweet. Dusty wore a duster? Yeah. So you wore this with a pork pie hat. No, no, no. And bleach blonde. These are all maybe with the bleach blonde hair. And those glasses. You're bringing all the styles in. these are all maybe with the bleach blonde hair and those glasses. Yeah. You're you're

you're bringing all the styles in. Yeah. Alright, there's over 100 types of hats. baseball cap Now, we had a big debate Dusty on this podcast before you joined us. I wore I have a hat like it. It's not the one I wore but okay. Let's see what he's got. Brian's pulling out a hat. And I, Dusty, what would you call this? Well that particular one, when I was a kid we would have called that in Alabama where I

grew up, maybe it was just my mom, but we would have called that a toboggan. That's what we would have called it too. That's what started it. Nate said that and people lost their minds. But my wife is someone who loses her mind over that because she's from Canada and a toboggan is a sled. And she calls it a toque. Calls it a toque. And then that as I got older I would have called it like a beanie. I'll call it a beanie now. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was basically the three names. Most of them. A winter hat. Most of them. Yeah most of America I think calls it a beanie. People in the South. Go ahead. You wear the no-so hat. Yep. Yeah what's the national? Ocean and some ocean. Ocean space ocean. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's an old episode. Yeah, ocean, space, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

It's an old episode. Were you on that? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He was big into that. That was, he and Nate were hand in hand, space is dumb and we should explore oceans. Oh, S-L-A-R, some lakes and rivers stuff. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, that's fine. Yeah, somebody made that. Who made that for us? Somebody, I mean, by the next week, they had it to us. That's so cool. Derby hats, coonskin hat cap, fedora, Indiana Jones wore fedora. A Coonskin cap. I used to wear that. I was a real

country little kid and I used to wear that just just around my dad's place. We just wanted to be Daniel Boone. Yeah, but you kind of knew it was a fun thing to wear. Yes. No, yeah. No, I don't know anyone who wears that. Legitimate. I bet that there are parts of Kentucky, East Tennessee. You think there's where some guy 30 years ago, you think? I mean, there's one guy now just just drinking a bush like the Tennessee Vols mascot is, you know, the guy who brings out the dog, he wears a coonskin hat, but he's dressed like Davy Crockett. Uh huh. Yeah, cuz it looks like such a. Cuz

there was a movie or something, Davy, Davy Crockett. I mean, man, we loved him. King of the Wild Frontier. We loved Davy Crockett. What did he do? He wasn't the Alamo, right? I think so. He was the Alamo, but he did, I think he helped, I get him and Daniel Boone mixed up sometimes. That's where I'm confused. And I think they helped settle this part of the country. I think they helped, well I think he was a great hunter, but I think he also helped surveyors or whatever. Okay. I should know. All I knew was that he wore this hat and, uh, I liked the name. Davey, Davey Crockett. I love that song. What did he do on the show? I don't know. Yeah.

I think he just gotten, it's not even important. I don't know anything about him, but I remember he wore that hat and I thought it was cool. I thought the hat was cool, but I was a little little kid. Yeah, I wasn't 16 or 17. Yeah, I got my driver's license picture taken in that duster jacket. Yeah. You ever had a job where you had to wear a hard hat? Nah. Not the whole time.

I've had jobs where I had to wear them for some. On site somewhere? Yeah, for you're doing a particular job. You a hard hat guy? No. Okay. What in general, like when I'm on stage? I don't know. People are throwing things at me.

You could be a hard hat guy. Start wearing a throwing things at me. You could be a hard hat. Start wearing a hard hat on stage. You could be a Tim Allen. Carry your clipboard. Carry your jokes on a clipboard. Yeah, you're a construction. You're like Tim Allen, but you're like the supervisor. You're not actually doing it. The guy who everyone hates.

You have a laptop. I was thinking a clipboard and just making sure it works. You want one of those metal clipboards with other papers inside. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Trucker hats are sometimes known as gimme hats or feed caps because they originated in the 1970s as a promotional giveaway from US feed or farming supply companies. They were given out to farmers, truck drivers, or other rural workers.

Now what makes Dusty, I'm gonna defer to the expert here, what makes a trucker hat a trucker hat? I'll tell you, my instinct is when I see trucker hat, or when I hear it, I think the mesh back. Yeah, see, I can only talk about what I think about them. No, that's all I'm asking. Yeah. I don't necessarily think it has to have the mesh

because my first hat that I started wearing was from West Point-Pepperell, was a mill near where I grew up. And my uncle was a truck driver and it was his hat and it had no mesh. I just think it needs to be high-riding. Yeah, that you can, well, I'm gonna hear there it is. Yeah, I just think it needs to be high riding. And that's

that's and you want to you want kind of a billboard face. This one's too short. This would not be a trucker hat. Okay, but you want a billboard face because you might want some jokes up there. Is there some kind of functional benefit to that for truckers? I think for a giveaway though, I think you could put fun slogans on there. Oh, it's all about maximizing. I think so. Okay.

But the mesh to me is more of a summer hat. That's just what you would call that. So you can keep your head. I mean, when you're at a truck stop, there's some funny stuff on those hats. Yeah. I mean, women want me, fish fear me. That's my all time favorite.

I wanted that hat so bad as a kid. I find this is true. And in many religions, I guess most women very often have to wear head covering, but men, generally speaking, unless God's dope, do not wear a head covering in church. It would be the opposite. You would take your hat off. Yeah.

I think the Bible tells women to cover their heads when they pray and men to not cover their heads when they pray and men to not cover their heads. Mm-hmm. But even, and I mean I know it's more than just when they're praying, but in Muslim tradition, I mean there's a lot of head covering, but it kind of depends on if you're a man or woman. But in Jewish, you wear a yarmulke. Right. Yeah, Vatican II, it's like the 60s and 70s, that's where they Catholic Church, Catholic Church got rid of. Yeah, it was a disappointing sequel, some would say. But I heard, like my grandmother

would tell me before that, if you forget, like you're a little girl and you forget your head covering to mass, the girls would just put like a Kleenex on their head or something, just some type of covering over it. But that, as long as I've been alive, that hasn't been a requirement in the Catholic Church. That's interesting. Do you know what the hat that the Pope wears is called? I mean, I know he wears more than one, but the little one? The papal cap. Close. Yeah. The zucchetto. I think that's what the Cardinals wear red ones and bishops wear violet. Pope wears a white one.

So do you know how hat sizes are determined if you wear like a fitted hat? The size of your head? Yep, but a little bit more than that. Is it circumference? Is it radius? Circumference of a person's head of about one centimeter above the ears. The amount of heat your head puts off too. You don't want to blow a gasket up there. Felt hats can be stretched for custom fit. Can you imagine going to Lids and you go, I'm looking for a hat and I take out a thermometer and like see how hot that head gets brother.

The record for most hats according to Gizbook World Records, Scott Leagrid, he inherited his father's, I may have even emailed you this, emailed his father's hat collection. He has over 115,000 hats. He has John Deere hats from every state. John Deere hats, oh my goodness. Yes, this is awesome. This guy's really into it. I'm into it already. Yeah. You like those, right?

Where all these hats, those are trucker hats. Oh my gosh. It's a real flat brand. That guy looks like every man I knew growing up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's too big of a bill.

Yeah. I don't like that. That looks like smalls from the Sandlot bill. Yeah. Yeah. This guy's got an unbelievable collection. Yeah. Now, how are you? Do you like to curve the bill at all, Dusty?

It just depends on the hat. Depends on the hat. Yeah, I mean this got a little curve to it, which I don't mind. I like it to be slightly curved. I don't want it to be flat, but I don't, I'm not doing that anymore. Remember people used to put a baseball in the bill and tie a rubber band around it. That's a bit too much. Yeah. That's a bit too much. Yeah. You could damage the bill that way too. Do you know where the hat capital of the world is? I'm gonna say Oklahoma. Is it in

America? Mm hmm. Yeah. I don't know. Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Hattiesburg, Mississippi? Hattiesburg. No, I'm joking. Uh Dan's Berry, Connecticut. Dan's Berry. Why Dan's Berry? They had a hat manufacturing company there. Uh started in 1780 by 1800. They're producing 20,000 hats by 1859. 100 not 100, 1.5 million hats annually. That's a ton of hats by 1859. But you ever heard of Mad Hatter Disease?

Yeah. That came from that. From top hats. Because they were using some kind of... Mercury. Yeah. They were using mercury in the felt for these hats at the factory. They're using what? Here we go.

What were they? Mercury. Okay. Mercury. Mercury? Okay. Mercury? Is that how you say it? Mercury? Mercury? Mercury? Well now, that one I messed up.

Hang on. Hang on. Mercury? Mercury? Mercury? Mercury? Well how do you say it then? Mercury. How do you say it then? Mercury.

Mercury. Mercury. Well, anyway, um, they were using Mercury on the hats. Yes. To do what? In the felt. Okay. And it was poisoning workers and, uh, they started having slurred speech,

tremors, stumbling, and extreme cases, hallucinations. They called it the Danbury shakes. The effect of Merc, Mercury on the workers' health was first noted in the late 19th century. That's what I was telling you about. Mind control hats. Well, that's not quite what I just said. But you know, you get it though. Tell me. Well, I don't know. I watched a video on it. I forgot all the details.

Well, you texted us and you said sometimes top hats were used for mind control. I know. But you remember those guys where I showed you that video of, uh, of the, the weird things in the under the cave, cryptoids, those same guys made a video about mind control hats. I should have had the link ready. And that has something to do with mad hatters. That was, I think so. That's what they were calling it. Wouldn't you think if you put on a hat and all of a sudden you start shaking around, convulsing,

wouldn't you take the hat off? Yeah, but I don't think that's what was happening. I think they were making the hats. Oh, it was the guys who were making it? People at the factory. Oh, okay. I thought by wearing the hat you contracted... I think you still can though too. But these were factory workers, I think, that were getting this. In fact, the guy who... This is his dream. I kind of forgotten about...

So John Wilkes Booth killed Abraham Lincoln. Yeah. But did he know what happened to John Wilkes Booth? He died right after that. He got killed too, didn't he? He did. They tracked him down to James Earl Ray. James Earl Jones. Thanks guys. I wouldn't even notice, to be honest. I know that the doctor who helped him got tried for treason, right? Who helped John Wilkes Booth?

Yeah. I don't know about that, but after he shot Lincoln and ran off, they tracked him down and I guess he held up in a barn. One of the guys who was tracking him shot him without permission, shot and killed him instead of taking him alive. That guy had Mad Hatter's disease and they think he suffered mental illness and was thrown into an insane asylum because he this Mad Hatter's disease. He was a hat maker and

he had it and they think that's why he went crazy and kill John Wilkes Booth without letting him sounds like a conspiracy to me. It does sound like making it does sound like the guy that killed the he's crazy. So somebody assassinates the president. There's a man hunt. Yep and they go. Let's call the local hat maker to come out and help us. I guess it was just different times right everybody. Maybe that was a previous life. He was a mad hatter. All

hands on deck. Yeah, I guess all hands on deck. Let's go get this guy's like in the movies when there's like a posse, a mob. It's a crazy guy who makes hats, runs out there, just blows him away. He was considered mad as a hatter for going against orders when his unit had booths surrounded in a barn in Virginia. Wow. when his unit had booths surrounded in a barn in Virginia. Wow. Sounds like he did what he was told to do. Yes, he was mud. He was forgiven for his disobedience, but left the army

and went back to hat making. So I guess he joined the army. Okay. All right. Okay. Like a lot of people, my family are not the most tech savvy. So it seems weird to get them a tech-adjacent gift. But Aura's digital frame is actually perfect. That's because, yes, it's tech, but it's so easy.

George Washington wore a tricorn hat, triangle shaped hat with three turned up brim sides. Tricorn was popular in Europe. The first five US presidents wore them. I don't think that's accurate. I think that is a bicorn. Looks like a bicorn to me. Whoa.

So I think the whole name is George Washington. Well maybe it wasn't the only hat George Washington wore. Maybe he had a couple hats. He was president. Yeah, but I'm saying the one that he's famously the one they're trying to portray here. I think this could be historically inaccurate and I'm calling Nate out as a fraud. I love it. Yeah, I Don't know not quite the same the top right up there. Look at that one. This one? Yeah. From this painting? Yeah.

I don't think we have any real photo. It could be. It could be. Oh a chef. Let me look him up on YouTube real quick see if I'm fine. I do have a couple more little facts here. Yeah. People used to have to wear hats on Sundays and holidays. In 1571, Queen Elizabeth I ruled that everyone had to wear a hat on those days. The rule was for anyone over the age of seven. They had to wear a hat? Yeah. Just a ranch in their house? I guess, or at least out in public. That's ridiculous. This would be the last one because I can tell you guys are... No, no, no. Just let's end on a good one. Yeah, I was trying to be neat. Chefs traditionally wear big white hats, which are known as tokes or toks.

Oh, they have 100 folds in them. The folds represent 100 different ways that you can cook an egg. I thought that was interesting. Wow, that is interesting. Are there 100 different ways to cook an egg? I don't know. I challenge you to name 10. Well, you can fry it boil it scramble it You can I'm done

What do you poach it? You can well you make an omelet you can make a quiche make a meringue You can use you can make mayonnaise. That's not preparing an egg. That's using eggs for other stuff.

Well, I think that's what we're talking here. Oh no. Well, if it's a hundred things that have egg as an ingredient, that's different. But a meringue, I think is mostly egg. But if you're- And mayonnaise is mostly egg. If you're at a restaurant and they go, how would you like your eggs?

Can I get it mayonnaise? I don't know. Try it. Let's try it. I'll do bacon and can I get those eggs meringue please? And a hat trick is when in hockey, someone has three goals. Yeah. Everyone throws their hat on the ice. Have you ever done that? No. No, I've never done that. I I didn't know that. I guess I've never seen it happen. All the mics

just cut out. I don't know if they cut out for y'all. Uh my I can hear Dusty. Mine seems to be working just fine. Yeah. Uh I think we got it just like we like it Yours is just unplug there How we like it Yeah, you just I think it yeah you just unplug so dusty I went on this then you're at a Predators gate Okay, you've done the thing Your your face is red, you got them fired up. Yeah. The guy scores three goals. You taking your hat off, throwing it on the ice? Depends on the hat. Okay. So you would do it on some cases. Yeah, if it were... If it were a

Predators hat they gave you that night. Yeah, but no, likely not. Alright. Likely I might be the only guy in the audience with this hat on. I'd be like, I'm not throwing this hat. And they're like, well, it's just a old Buick hat. And I'm like, this is my favorite hat. I looked up to what they do with them because there's sometimes hundreds of hats, you know,

at their last, sometimes they just throw them away. Sometimes they donate them to some charity that can repurpose them. Basically throwing them away. And then sometimes they give at least some of them to the guy who had the hat trick. Oh, okay. Uh, which I don't know what he's going to do with a hundred hats, but, um, I think they let whoever's cleaning up the arena that night, they go, you take

these off our hands, do whatever you want. Some, some 19 year old kid puts 500 hats in the back of his truck. Maybe, maybe. I mean, most hats you wouldn't wear if they're one of your hats on the drink. No, it depends. I'm not, I don't care enough about the predators to do that, but if it were the team that I was super into, I think you go there hoping that you are faced with this dilemma. What team are you super into?

Notre Dame, the Braves, something like that. Probably those two. Notre Dame scores a touchdown. You just heave your hat on the. We do marshmallows. You ever see that? Yeah, we talked about that a little bit. They did it. The senior day was this past weekend. Notre Dame's on a roll. Marshmallow. We are man. Number six. Play what? Army this week? Army. It's actually a big game. Army is like as good as they've been since World War II. Yeah. So, it's pretty crazy. They could beat us. What about

this? Alright. Okay. If you're listening, just be glad. Okay. Here we go. Alright. I don't have my headphones on so I can't hear you but but this is we're doing hats. Look at Brian. Brian's got a hat. I've got a hat. That fits you. Actually, that looks good on you. It doesn't physically fit, but it looks good on you. It does not. But this is I wonder if I can get my head. This is like Pinhead Larry. This is my segment here. Dusty's Top 5 Country Song. Okay. Okay. About hats.

Well, this is going to be my Top 5 Country Songs about hats. Okay. Okay. And if you want to follow along, I got the playlist on Spotify. It's called Dusty Slay's Top 5 Country Songs About Hats. All right, I'm excited. All right, so what we're gonna do, I'm gonna read a couple that didn't make the list, and then I'll do the list.

Honorable mentions. We have Under This Old Hat. Can I say how impressive this is? I could not think of any song about a hat. And you're like, let's make a list, and let's include some honorable mentions too. I got it. Under This Old Hat by Chris LaDue.

Great song. Chris LaDue is a great cowboy country singer. All Hat No Cattle by Gene Watson. That's a great hat. Okay, so here we go. We're gonna get into the list. I have one more honorable mention, but I'll do it in the honorable mention spot. Okay. Number five

of top five country songs about hats. Don't Touch My Hat by Lyle Lovett. He doesn't even wear a hat. In this song. This would be if you go make up a country song about hats. In this song. Don't Touch My Hat. In this song, he's like, you can have my girl, but don't touch my hat. This guy's like, I've had a lot of girlfriends, but I've been through a lot with this hat. All right. Number four, top five country songs about hats.

Cowboy Hat in Dallas by the Charlie Daniels Band. That's a really good one. Number three, uh, top five country songs about hats. Number three, my girl don't like my cowboy hat by Hank Williams, Jr. This is this, this a great song because he's talking about his date and a woman and she doesn't like his hat. And he's like, he's got some great lines in it. And then eventually breaks up with her, finds a girl that wears a cowboy hat.

Whoa, same hat as him. Same kind of hat, maybe not the same hat. Nice, true love. Is that what you want though? It has some great lines in it. You want a woman wearing the same hat as you? Hank Williams Jr. also has a song called I Like to Have Women I've Never Had. So you know, he's got a lot of conflections going on.

Okay, here we go. Number two, this is a new song to me, but number two on the list of top five country songs about hats is Last Cowboy Hat in California by Robert Henry and the Repeaters. It's a great, very jammin' country song. This is new. I'd say it's pretty new.

He's talking about how, you know, California, there just ain't no cowboy hats left anymore. You know, it says so they're all gone. The repeaters will later just say whatever he said. I think so. I think so What? Forgot you're wearing that. That's a good look for you. I'm not gonna lie to you. It should go down farther on his head. It should, but it looks good though. No, no, it looks good like that. Yeah. Yeah. I think so too. All right. Cowboy hat that sits like a yarmulke. I'm going to start wearing this on stage. Honorable mention. Another honorable mention. Here we go. My dog took my hat. Before

we get to number one, this is called Girl in a Cowboy Hat by Brett Kissel. I know that one. I'd never heard of Brett Kissel before. I just found this song. I think it's a great song. Yeah, that is a good song. All right. Number one, this song. Number one. Not only is it number one on this list, but it's very high on my list of all time country songs.

Oh, this is so exciting. Such a great song. Here we go. Number one of top five country songs about hats. This Cowboys Hat by Chris LaDue. Great song. This is, this song is all about a hat. A lot of these songs reference hats. Yeah. But this song is about his hat. And it's a great song, kind of a talk country song. Cowboys versus bikers. Recently, they just made a video for it. Chris Ledoux has passed, but his son made the video. Really good. So that's out there now.

He's on this list a couple of times, huh? He is Chris Ledoux. Also a couple others, cowboy hat by John Pardee is in there. I'm not a big fan of it. Under this old hat, a bit different than under this old hat. I saw your brown. Yeah. Have you heard I wear my cowboy hat sideways by Post Malone?

No. That's not real. It's not real. I wish it was. And then there was a alternative song I found called Cowboy Hat by a band called That Dog with a period. I don't mind the song. It's not country, but I don't mind it.

So that's it. Top five country songs about hats. I appreciate it. What do you guys think about that list? Well, that was fun. I wish I had known any of them. I didn't know any of them. So I couldn't really comment on them.

Is there anything to say? What's so funny, Aaron? You look funny in the hat, man. I think it is a good look for you. You look like you're out of a Western. I don't know why everybody's laughing. If you're listening, you look like you're out of a Western. I don't know what's what everybody's laughing. If you're listening, I look good. You do look good. It matches your sweater. Yeah, you look good too. Thank you. I bought this vest in Atlanta one time.

I never really have a time to wear it. You never have time to wear it. That's the problem. A time. Oh yeah. Well, today's the time. Yeah. Uh Ashley Matthews, you were wrong. No, I'm joking. No, I had a good time. Yeah. I had a good time. This was fun. Most famous hat of all time? It's gotta be Abe Lincoln's, right? Oh, that's a good question. Yeah. Is a veil, would you consider a veil a hat? Like a bridal veil? Yeah. No. Okay. And, uh, cause long black veil was a very famous country song. And I would think that would be a good one. And then Merle Haggard has a song called Red Bandana.

Uh, I got bandana, sometimes a hat. It could be a hat. It could be a hat. It could be a mask. It could be a washcloth. Sometimes a neckachiff. Um, and then, um, so. All right. That's fun. Yeah. I think we're good. That feels like a great episode. I think we did it. We did it.

Should we talk about where we're at this week? Yes, we should. Oh, November 27th. I guess that's a week from today. Thanksgiving Eve. I'm doing my next Brian Bates and friends here at the lab at Zany's. Look, you're already going to be sick of your family. Bring them out to Zany's.

I'm gonna be at Hyenas Comedy Club in Fort Worth on December 13th. Just one show, it's gonna, it's in the Red Room. Some people have messaged me, he's like,

It's stretched. What? Aaron Weber here. Let me tell you, this weekend, Sunday, November 24th, I'm going to be in St. Louis, Missouri at the St. Louis Helium. I got two shows that are both almost sold out. They were sold out and then we moved it and then people said nope, but we're almost sold out. There's still a few tickets available each show. There's a 4 p.m. and I think a 7 p.m. If you're in the St. Louis area, I got a couple buddies from Nashville coming out with me. It's going to be a fun, fun day. So coming out to St. Louis Helium Comedy Club. Okay, alright. This weekend, Friday night, I'm gonna be in Des Moines, Iowa, at a theater.

I don't know what theater it is, but I'll be there. Des Moines, oh, the Hoyt Sherman Place. It's an awesome theater. Pumped to be going there. Show's almost sold out. So get some tickets. And then on Saturday, I'm gonna be at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Boom. And that show is basically sold out, but there's some tickets. Limited tickets. So they're both pretty close to being sold out. Those are going to be really great. So check those out and then on Tuesday I'll be at Zany's, Dusty Slay's grand old comedy show here at Zany's in Nashville. So that is November 26th, the day before your show. Yep. So come to my show and then come to Brian's. This is awesome, Tessie.

There's like, I'm looking at the seat map. There's like no tickets. Yeah, it's gonna be hot. There's just like single seats. Well, that's what happens with theaters I've found is that you get to a place where there's only single seats left and then nobody wants those because they're not, people are not trying to sit alone. But come to it alone. This is not the kind of show where I'll make fun of you for showing up by yourself.

Going to stuff alone is so much fun. Yeah, go alone. Then you can eat all the popcorn. You can do whatever you want. You can laugh at whatever jokes you want. And it doesn't matter. And Nate will be back next week. Nate will be back. It's gonna be great. This is a great episode. We got a hot cast, a hot crew of people

that run this podcast. And what's nice is it's interchangeable. People can come and go and the podcast remains the same. That's what's amazing about it. We appreciate you guys. Yep. But what is a constant throughout this podcast, at least has been from day one, is the beautiful people of Genovations who produce.

One of the main compliments we get is not for the humor, but for the production quality of this podcast. And I just want to give a big shout out, Tristan. It's birthday today. All right. Happy birthday. How about that? Tristan keeps the ship running. Put the agent curse on him. Happy birthday to you. No, no, no. No
