Hello folks and hey bear welcome to the Nate Land podcast Nate Barghetti, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber and Dusty Slay. All right. It's all of us. We're back. We're back. We're back. Last time you two have been here for a while. Yeah.

I mean, I was here on the, I was on the episode last week. I mean, together. Oh yeah, together. Yeah. Yeah, it has been. Yeah. A lot of people speculating the two of you would only agree to do the podcast if the other one wasn't there.

And I would fuel the fire. I would go, yes, that's true. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'd like to. They go, absolutely. Yeah, so yeah, it's not a tape. My voice is a little, does it sound bad or no? It sounds great. It sounds alright. It sounds bad. Good. It is what it is. It is what it is. Late night last night, uh, the golden gloves. We will talk about that. Uh, you know, I don't know what it was, you know, what were you guys doing this week is that that's the general Titans got the number one pick.

That's fun. I know the Titans. I always send us swag before the season starts. Right. I've been waiting all season for something to get excited about. A victory. Yeah. Finally, I dug it out.

Number one pick baby. All right. Who do you want? Travis Hunter, Chidora Sanders. Who do you want? I don't know. Maybe it's the Travis Hunter. That'd be fun.

That'd be fun. But I mean, you know, I think they need just excitement. So it's like, you know, you get Travis Hunter, you get Shador Sanders, cause you just need publicity. Right. I would almost like get Shador Sanders, if maybe just to, so ESPN talks about you every day.

That's honestly what you need. Right. You are selling tickets. No stadium coming, get some excitement. Yep. I like, do you think? Guys, let's be practical, trade back, get more picks. I mean, yeah. We need some linemen, do you think? Guys, let's be practical. Tray back, get more picks. I mean, we need some linemen.

Do you think, I'm not, I'm not trashing Will Levis, right? I don't, I'm not trashing, but do you think it's better? Like, it's like, here's a guy that no one was talking about at all. And then he comes in at the end of the season last year, does some big things and like is like front page news like I mean when they sent out the swag it was will Leva stuff and then to almost immediately go right back down you think it's better to like kind of not even remain talked about or just to get that little flash and then to be

brought down pretty I think to get the flash because you probably help you if you go to other teams stay in the flash because you, it'll probably help you to go to other teams, stay in the league and you know, his last throw, I mean, he threw a touchdown and it was a bomb. Uh, so I mean, clearly his last, you're only as good as your last throw. It should have been, but yeah. But I mean, if you're like looking at a guy with an arm, I'm sure someone thinks like, oh, I could work with this guy.

Yeah. Yeah. He's got an arm. I'm sure someone thinks like, Oh, I could work with this guy. Yeah. Yeah. He's got an arm. Today, this comes out January 8th, 25 year anniversary of the Music City miracle. Wow. You were there, right? I was there. Wow. Telling him to get out of bounds. Yeah. Yeah. I'm the one guy that stands there, get out of bounds, get out. Although NFL Network a few years ago did a greatest moments in NFL history. That was one of the top ones. And Jeff Fisher said he was thinking that. I don't know if he was saying it, but like, get out of bounds.

We were down by what? I think we were down by two, either two or three. Either way, it would either tied or won with a field goal. And I didn't think he was going to go all the way. So I'm like, just get out of bound for the clock run. So that's when you kick a field goal. Yeah. Fun baits.

Fun baits. Trey. Yeah. Like you said, trade back, get some linemen. Yeah. Uh, you know, if Bates was your owner of your NFL team, it would be to, you know, we don't even, we don't want the number one pick. We don't want the pressure of the number one pick. We shoot for a nice eight, nine.

Well that is true. I'm Mr. Yeah. I always shoot for average. Eight, nine. Is the number one pick that good though? You know, I know obviously ideally it's good and it's fun, but does it pan out? Uh, there's, I don't know. Nah, more times than not. No. Yeah. I mean, a lot of times like the last. Candid Williams, Bryce Young, Joe Burrow, Baker Mayfield. Yeah. All doing good. Yeah. Yup. These are all starred. I mean, Andrew Luck retired early. Cam Newton, he's got some fun hats. Cam Newton had a good run though. Sam Bradford, man. Yeah. He was offensive rookie of the I mean, I mean, I'm a little school. Mario Williams. That was the big one because he went over uh, Reggie Bush, Reggie Bush. Yeah. And did he ended up, Oh yeah. And he went to Pro Bowl one, two, three, four times. Yeah. Eli Manning had a decent career too. Yeah. So yeah, I mean, I think you want the number. Okay. All right. Now I'm convinced now. Yeah.

Cause it feels like they talk about it. Like it's not good. Like it is good. I think what they talk about too, a lot is the preview, get to number one pick, you're putting this star athlete into a program that's not good. And so like that's where they're, the Bryce Young with Caroline Panthers, you're like the number one just goes in and just, you know, they're like,

they don't know what they're doing. Right, and then Caleb Williams. And then they act like he's a flop because he can't turn the team around. Yeah, yeah. You just need, uh, excitement. That's what the Titans, I believe you gotta be, uh, you're selling tickets. I get the idea. I know you, you know, everybody wants to, you know, win by four points and the score to be eight to four, but it's, you know, you're selling tickets should be entertainment. But wouldn't the most entertainment be winning? It would be, but it's just, it's also, you're in a different time now.

But be realistic. You, yeah, you gotta be, you're entertainment. You're not like, you know, you're not serving the military. Right. Yeah. You're not, it's not life or death. You're like, let's, let's have, you want to win, you can have some fun and you can win.

These teams are winning that are fun. Joe, this, Bingo's were super fun. If you're a Bingo's fan, I mean, how fun was that? I mean, they didn't get in, but you just Joe Burrow, you got the, what's the receivers? Chase. Yeah. And then they got another receiver too.

That's good. T Higgins. Yeah. I mean, just super fun. You know, so alright. Yeah. No one cares. Notre Dame. Biggest win of your lifetime. Biggest win of my lifetime. Nobody saw that coming. Oh yeah. I mean, it's crazy. I didn't see it coming. I almost don't know if I want to win. I don't know if I want to win. Why? You ever think about that? Because then you don't know. Because what's it? I don't know. I want to win. I don't know if I want to win. You ever think about that? Cause then you don't know what's it all for.

What is it all for? Maybe if you get the thing that you've wanted your whole life, it won't mean what you thought it would mean. Do you know what I mean? Maybe I'm defined by the journey and not the destination. Yeah, you have Notre Dame winning a 14th championship. More than that. Twelve. Twelve. Yeah. But not

since 1988. Not since 1988. Three years before I was born. Golly. So. Really? Yeah. I mean it's it's not gonna do anything for your life but it would be fun. You'd be surprised. I'm the only one at this table that can remember when Notre Dame won a champion. You've been. I was six years old. I think I probably do. I was, uh, yeah, I was probably a rocket Ishmael. Was it him?

I was after that. I remember rocket Ishmael was early nineties. I believe I remember him very well. At 88 was, you know, look, I do want to win. I'm just joking, but it's, it was, it was very, I know what you mean. It's the best team. It's the best team we've had in a long time. We feel like legit, doesn't feel like a fluke.

Yeah. You know, so it's fun. It's fun. It's like when you did Bridgeton Arena, you finally do it and then what's now? Yeah, what's next? Yeah. Yeah.

You find other stuff. You do two shows. Yeah. Yeah. You'll win two next week. Smaller stage next time. Smaller stage. Get a few more chairs around.

The size of this radio. Yeah. Yeah. Just a two by two thing. You just got to stand there and do it. Yeah. Yeah. No room to turn.

So this weekend, we will get to the Golden Globes being there. And then I was at Braya Improv running my new hour. This weekend we will get to the Golden Globes being there. And then I was at Braya Improv running my new hour. Back in the clubs. Back in the clubs. How was that? It was great. It was great. It was up to your territory.

It's 75 minutes. All right. Yeah, don't plan on that. I mean, yeah, it was up there for a while. It's crazy. I did a Q and&A I don't ever really do you know I never do them but in a club I was like I did them at Comedy Magic Club and then I did it at then I was like let me just see like you

know kind of right before I do the closer and so that can last 15-20 minutes Power went out in the building. All right, we're back. We are back. We had the power cut out for a second. It's Tuesday now we're recording this. We all went home and... No, so yeah, doing Q&A. That was about like 15, 20 minutes. And that's fun to do. Last time I did a Q&A, only other time I've ever done a Q&A, while I was scared of doing it, I've done it twice. One was, I remember doing a show at Florida State and I did a Q&A and anybody had any questions, everybody said, they go, no.

And then- Wow, that said, they go, no. And then, yeah, terrifying. That was enough to like, I go, I'm not going to do it. And then once at the, when I was in Washington, DC, at the Warner Theater, I thought, you know what? I'm at a theater. I was like, maybe it's time to do a Q&A. Ask question guy goes, are you really this dumb? to do a Q&A, ask a question, guy goes, are you really this dumb? Oh gosh. And so then that, that scared me off for again, maybe eight years. And so now, now the clubs have, it's been, you know, I don't think you could really do it, you couldn't do them in an arena.

It would be kind of too, it's too much going on. Yeah. See those two responses are why I don't do q and a oh yeah i would never want to go who's got any questions and they're like nobody yeah do more jokes yeah now you kind of know they're i get asked about snl or something like that and yeah uh are you like repeat questions yeah then i then you well oh yeah oh yeah, yeah, kind of. Yeah, you kind of, they can say, what's your favorite joke? They say stuff like that.

And like, uh. Oh, so you could just, they go, oh, you go, are you really this dumb? And then you go, the question was, what's my favorite joke? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's the idea, if people, like, crowd work is, I mean, I am getting different questions, but I'm also getting the same question.

So if like, if you know that they're going to ask, you know, they can only ask so many questions. Right. So that, I mean, that's essentially what people don't realize with crowd work is to go, yeah, you're going to ask people, what do you do for a living? And it just doesn't really matter what you do. I have jokes that I can, if I've asked enough, I'm gonna have stuff in there that's gonna be an act

that can, you know. You know, a great answer to, are you really this dumb? You go, I don't understand the question. Yeah, that would have been great. It would have been great. Start taking Dusty with you. But I just, it took me, you know, I wouldn't have had it right there ready,

but now, now I do. I hope I get asked that. I would have gone, yeah, what'd you pay for this ticket? Yeah. Yeah, I am this dumb. You're a bummer. One question, one lady asked, I liked, she said, do you think, how do you,

she was like, what do you think it is to make you this, to be in as clean as you are and be in this way, to be as relevant in this industry that's not? Oh my God. Was it like? Yeah. No, I think it was. Was that a journalist in the crowd?

Yeah. I thought it was like. That's a good question. It is. I know, but that's like something you get on a panel. Yeah, yeah. It was a good question. How do you navigate this space a panel. Yeah. Yeah. It was, it was, it was a good question. And, uh, how do you navigate this space?

Yeah. As I go there. Uh, but I was able to, you know, it's because of you, it's because of you listeners, because of the people in that crowd, like that's the only reason I'm relevant is cause they, cause you come out. I thought you're talking to us for a second. Yeah. Bring me down.

It's, yeah, I'd be hanging out with Brad Pitt tonight. Fly back and come here. You're Joe Burrow and we're the Bengals defense. Yeah. Tom Inks goes, you want to come by the house? I got to go, go to go meet Brian Bates. You got to go hear about Brian's weekend. I got to go see where he was up to.

He, uh, went and saw Big in the theater. I did. Did you? Big? Yeah. It was like mid 80s. Maybe late 80s. I don't know. Yeah. Talk about the Tom Hanks. Hey, Steven Spielberg. Oh yeah, dude. I saw you Tia bought two tickets. One guy didn't show up. You have real weirds. You got the other guy didn't show up so just went alone and it's a whole big story and then a guy who's dressed as ET I got a picture with him an old camera got his autograph but yeah Bray was good working building up the new hour trying to get it figured out you know this next tour is going to be, you know, very exciting, very, very big.

And so I was like, this has got to, how could it get on it, man? Forget it figured out. But I was, you know, I didn't do any old jokes and I did door dash jokes, because everybody, you know, actually they heard my material everywhere. I disagree. They, I know I talked about Community College in my first CD and I

talked about it again. They're two, I'm talking about my life. Well, you mentioned your wife on your first ever albums. I don't, you're not allowed to talk about her ever again. It's a journey. It's a stand up. I hope you watch it in order. I hope if you can sit, I met some this weekend, they told me that they were suggesting to watch me to someone and they go, you got to watch it in this order though. Like the, you know, this the half hour first then the 10th, because he has another story with the Starbucks and then with the Cape Fear service. And that was the point of doing it that way. Because you were hoping to be like, I thought that would be pretty neat.

I don't know what's saying up, done that, where you go, hey, I have an ad on. It's not the same, it's a completely different joke. It's just a different situation. It's gonna be me in situations. So unless I become an astronaut, I'm gonna be, you know. Yeah, you don't have a diff,

you can't just pull out a different past. Yeah. Yeah. I was in community college. Yeah. And so then I thought of a fun new way to talk about it. And it's set up. Not the same stories. Not, yeah.

This guy talks about Tennessee a lot. It's just Tennessee. Talk about Ohio. What's this guy, a teenager his whole life? Yeah. Talk about Ohio. What's this guy a teenager his whole life? Yeah. Yeah. So, I already got a, I got a closer. It's good.

Okay. That's nice. That's big. Yeah, that was big. Because I mean, and it's a close, I can sit like, it's nice. Like, and so I need a closer. I can do a Q and A even to go, I'll save this. I'm like sitting on it like an old joke. That's what's so fun about it. You know, like when you are, you know, you got, you know, when you got

a joke that destroys and you can be like, I can, I can make this, I can even open it up to the audience. It might not go the way we want it to go because I know I, I can steer it back. Yeah. I got something that's going to steer back. You do the Q&A in the middle of the closer. I do it at the yeah, I go I'll pull back out. I go you guys can't handle what's going on. But it's yeah, it's been very fun. And so yeah, Bray was great clubs are great. I'm going to be there's a few more clubs. I'm going to Vegas, I'll be working on it yeah getting it going. Packing for a trip this holiday season? Tired of wasting time trying to figure out how to best pack for your travels? We recently discovered Unbound Merino a travel clothing company made by travelers for travelers. Unbound Merino was created by three lifelong friends who are looking to solve the age-old problem of how to pack light but also look great when jet

setting. Unbound offers timeless versatile clothing that will have you looking great in any situation. Their clothing is made of merino wool which is a it is temperature temperature what does this word say? Temperate regulating. It feels like it should say- Temperature regulating. Which is temperature regulating, but it says temperate. Well, it's good to be temperate too.

It is, but it really tripped me up. But Merido wool, which is temperature regulating, moisture wicking, and most importantly, super comfortable. Unbound makes it simple to pack for short or long trips since their clothes can be worn for weeks on end without needing a wash. That's something I can get into. With Unbound's versatile pieces,

you can go from the plane to outdoor adventures to that swanky dinner without the headaches of overpacking or needing to change outfits for every leg of your journey. Unbounce Clothing allows travelers to pack lighter, save on checked baggage fees, and spend more time focusing on creating travel memories. I love not having to wash it every day. I got to be honest with you.

Head over to their website, unbouncemorinoino.com where new customers can use our code Nate for 10% off their order. I'll be honest with you. I've been doing that and I didn't even know that was a thing. So we're I was in Lexington, Kentucky this weekend at company off Broadway. Big city. Big city. Big city baits. Yeah. Yeah. I was in Lexington, Kentucky this weekend at company off Broadway. Big city. Big city. Big city baits. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, great show. Nice hotel there too. Yeah. I love it. Yeah. Stay at that embassy suite. Just walk over.

Yeah. Can see the club from your room. Yep. A lot of ducks and swans out there in that pond. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was awesome. Did a little Q and a, uh, a lot of questions. You do a Q and a, uh, there's a couple of times. Did you, you say, do you have any questions? Yeah. And are people like, how long is this show? One lady asked that actually was a question. One lady asked, do you still drive for Uber?

Uh, I think she was concerned about my, uh, financial future. Wow. What did you say? Did you say I keep renewing it? I'm not currently, but I do renew it. I keep my documents up to date. Yeah. I want to be able to.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, why do you need a ride? Yeah. Yeah. But it was great shows. Um, thanks everybody came out and made out, made a lot of folks and.

What a great club that is. Jordan said I sold more tickets than I did last time. So that's good. You always want to be building. That's what it's all about. Yeah. It's being built. It's going forward.

Q and A will get longer every year. Yeah. Yeah. Anything else? You go, well, we just talked to you before the show. So I don't know why I would ask questions during it. Hey, I'm going to be in the lobby after, if you want to keep asking me questions. You do it multiple times throughout the show.

Like you'll be going along the bed and you go, you get any questions about that bed? Well, we greeted, you greeted us when we showed up. So I thought, I thought I got to I thought I got it out of the way. Yeah. I've done shows like that where I walked to the green room and if there's like, I don't know, 15 people there, I'll just go, what's up guys? I just feels weird to like act like I'm backstage or there's 15 people here. Like, I might as well just say hi before.

Yeah. And they go, who is that? You just look like a crazy person. Yeah, they go, I got these tickets. What's up, boy? Got a great show for you tonight. They're like, all right, the manager, I guess, is excited. And then-

Who was that? Yeah. Who was that? You walk in 15 people and they don't know who you are. I know it's awkward. I've been in this situation. Yeah, you walk in, you got to, yeah, I mean, look, I've walked in with many a crowd where you just go in, you're in line with people. I remember San Francisco Punchline, once I did that, I was walking in and there was no really other back way in. And I think it was the first time I sold it out. And so, but I had to, I came up

and I just had to get in my own line and I'm just standing in my own line. And you know, it's, it's, you think it's going to be a ruckus. It's not that big of a ruckus. Like no one's that surprised that you're in your own line. Yeah, yeah. We didn't think you helicoptered in. Yeah. They're just like, Oh, hey man.

You go side for the show. Yeah. This hope is a good one. You know, it's very uncomfortable. There's a big difference between helicoptering in and standing in your own line for a show. That's what I'm saying. Yeah.

I'd be saying now I helicopter now. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. My helicopter hovers above the show until I make sure everybody's done. The opener just hears the, yeah. And that's the way the helicopter honks to let you know, let's wrap it up.

You think a helicopter has a horn? I bet it does. I bet. Pull down. Yeah. Would you ever do a, you're underneath the stage and you rise up onto the stage? Oh yeah. I could see him doing that.

Uh, lower down. Yeah. Yeah. It gets, I would lower the stage down on top of me. Uh, no, we're in that and I'm the middle. Uh, no, I don't, I don't, I don't think so. I mean, look, I could never do that. No, I couldn't.

I mean, you could see like, yeah, I don't know. You do think of it like, oh, that could be cool to come up like that. But you think you want to do it. You thought about it. Well, yeah, who wouldn't think that? Travis look, it does. No, we've never had anybody look into it. It does seem cool to have all these entrances, but yeah.

Yeah. It's like, uh, so funny. You get like parachuted in and then you're like, yeah, like start talking about catch up. Yeah. Yeah. We're a big catch up family. All right.

Oh, what is it? As parachute said, ketchup on, I had a heins on it. Uh, yeah. Maybe that's me. Your cannon shooting out catch up. Yeah. Yeah. That's the next, the next two are big dumb eyes.

We're going to be, you know, just coming in. I come in as some music. It's yeah. That's the next, the next two are big dumb eyes. We're going to be, you know, just coming in. I come in with some music. It's cool. Like we, we, we get material. Yeah. We, uh, we do make it look, uh, cool, but it's, yeah. What's the music you're coming off to? Uh, it's always, I don't know. I don't know what we're doing this year, but it's been a bunch of different kinds, but I mean, like the special, we did that Sunday's Best and you walk out and I'd walk to the crowd and I like that and like uh you know it's just fun to see. It never feels like you're beating your chest. No I I I really doesn't feel like it. I don't even feel that. Yeah. Uh but yeah it's you know it's yeah it's crazy just trying to make a good show. Aaron. crazy. Just trying to make a It was like the thing, everybody came off the side, then the curtain would open, I would walk out right in the middle, and it just felt still like I'm like- Oh, the curtain would open. Oh my gosh.

I did that on the left. You're just standing there. No, no, no. I never raised it. I know, but you should. I know, but I would have someone- there was a guy that worked on tour, it was very funny, because we were talking about songs. We'd be picking a song to play. You're trying to find the right song that could be, with the theater especially, like it needs to be kind of quick before it gets to it and then boom and it hits and you go out. And so we're trying to find a song and then he picked a song and then I would then eventually I was like, well I think I'm

gonna change the song. And then and I did not think he liked that I was changing his song. And so he would open the curtain for me and the song would be playing that I picked. And he would be like, this song's not the song. And then he would open the curtain. So the last thing I would hear before I walked out was him upset with me. Cause I changed his song. He's like, the other song's better. And then I'm like, Hey! So I did his song. He's like, the other song's better. And then I'm like, hey!

So I did the middle. I tried the, there might've been some people that have seen the middle, but it, it felt a little too about me. Like you feel a little too like- It's a weird energy to start a set with. I did the- What's the middle? The middle of the curtain. So I, everybody comes on the side. Oh, oh, oh, not a song. No, no, no. Oh, Jimmy World, the side. Oh, not a song. No, no, no. Oh, Jimmy World, middle, yeah. I did the Opry once right after intermission

and the way they go, welcome back. And then they bring you up and then the curtain opens and you're just standing there. Yeah. And it's such an awkward, you feel like you have to go ta-da. Yeah. And I'm just, you have to go into the set.

But you know, there is a world with that where you see it with, it's a show business. You know, it's like, it is your putting on a show. It works for everything except the comedian. Any- Yeah, I agree. This is what I picture, the curtain comes up, you go, I spent $182 at McDonald's. Well, I don't open with the last line of my clothes.

Yeah. Yeah. He's just giving it. Look forward that in Aaron's special when it comes out, you see it at the end. That's an old, old joke. But yeah, it is. I was telling them, we were talking about at the Opry when you, they're weird about the time.

So sometimes you'll finish like a minute under and you're like, what do I do for a minute? Well, there's because you just had that, right? Where you had like squeeze a joke in. Yeah. I put in one joke at the end just to fill my time. I did once or I have a minute left and I just, I just did a minute of like, Oh man, it's an honor to be here at the Opry.

Make some noise if it's your first time in Nashville. Welcome to, I just did that. I was so embarrassed. I couldn't think of what else to do. It kind of played off. Okay. But, uh, yeah, a minute of that and to do it at the end, keep it going.

Excited to be at the, cause Like is he done? Because you walked out and didn't, he walked out and didn't acknowledge us. Like we were a lot of time, but 20 seconds. They asked a question. You're like, that's my time. Oh God. Oh man. So that was it. Are you great? Your show was great. Yeah, I did great. My shows were great. My shows were fun. Your show was great. Yeah, I did great. Show was fun. My shows were great. My shows were fun.

Great time. Drove home Saturday night after my late show because they got a blizzard up there. Came in Sunday morning. That's always a good feeling though, right? You never regret that the next day. No. You get to wake up. Always regret it at night though.

When you're driving there, you're like, man, this stinks. You got to kind of just get on the road. Yeah, because you're on that day. But you get an hour back. Yeah, it wasn't too bad. I got like at 1.15. You're on the Bluegrass Highway or whatever, and it's, that's barren out there. It's long. Listen to We're Having a Good Time podcast.

Listen to you on Fungela, Fungela's podcast. It's fun. You ever listen to like people you don't know really well? No, that's fine. He's a company man. He's a company. Yeah, he is. He is a company man.

I bring it all to this. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what Dusty's ever doing unless I listen to his podcast. That's true. Yeah. That's my way to come- He does listen to it.

He listens to Dusty's podcast. That's someone he doesn't really know. Yeah. They listen to his podcast to find out about him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's my way to come. He does listen to it. He listens to Dusty's podcast. That's someone he doesn't really know. Yeah. If he listens to his podcast to find out about him. Yeah. Yeah. I like to learn about Dusty. He gotta stay. I like to learn about my co-host.

Yeah. I had a fun weekend here in town, man. I did the Ryman. They did opera shows at the Ryman. Oh, that's cool. Had two sold out showcases here at the lab. Did one, ran over, did the rhyming, came back and hung out. It was just like a fun,

one of those really great comedy nights. Everybody here was just in a good mood. We hung out here at this table actually. Oh yeah. Most of the night. It was just, it was awesome. So come check out the lab. Any of these local showcases, if you're in Nashville, they've been really great. Yeah. They're just so much fun. Dusty pops in on in on me well that's what I've been doing I've

been off so I've been doing these showcases yeah they are great mm-hmm really great I did a couple of shows with the Eric Eaton over the New Year's Eve the magic of Eric Eaton I did some guest spots it was great wait talk about that or where they didn't know your they thought you were doing magic the first show oh well the where they didn't know you're, they thought you were doing magic. The first show. Oh, well the first show, yeah. I don't know if they thought I was doing magic, but I was just like, I felt like it was just going okay. And then Eric goes out after and he goes, how many people here are here for the

comedy? And like two people raised their hand. It's sold out. He's like, how many people are here for magic? And everybody raised their hand. So the next show, I'm just like, hey, I'm not doing magic. And that got a pretty good laugh. And then my set was much better. Oh, yeah. We were saying with the Dusty's hand motions on set, it kind of looks like he's about to do something.

Yeah. He's always like, kind of, like he's about to do something. I saw what he did. When his hand goes up, it's someone's phone number in the crowd and they go, wait a second. But you know, Eric, he had a great show. I've heard that. I can't believe you would do a show with a magician.

Well, you know, I'm not into magic, but it's, you know, it's tricks as Nate's dad says, it's tricks, it's not. That's what they tell you, spells. I was into it though, I thought it was fun. Yeah, he was good. He knows your dad tell you. Yeah. Spells. I was into it though. I thought it was fun. Yeah. Yeah. He was good. Mm hmm. He knows your dad. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. It was great. He was a very nice guy. It was kind enough to give me, I'm working on a thing.

So he's nice enough to give me some guest spots and I appreciate him. Yeah. But the thing against magic. What's that? You're working on a thing. Yes. Yeah. I'm trying to shut it down.

I got to know some inside tips. Yeah. Trying to shut it down. You just said, do you cut it back to 50? Yeah. Well, I asked for 10 and I did 13. That's fine. Yeah. It is the new year. It's time to set a goal.

Have you set a goal? Did you know only 8% of people stick with their New Year's resolution all year long? That seems high to me actually.

I didn't realize Golden Globes is like the Superbowl for my wife. Oh yeah. She prints it out and predicts all. Yeah. It was crazy. And she's, you know, she knows Nikki well and knows you. And so she was like, yeah, biggest night of the year for her. She's going to send me a text.

Woo. Thank you for continuing to put out new episodes, even over Christmas and New Year's. So many other podcasts take a few weeks off during the holidays. You're welcome, Ed. That's my idea. The rest of the people do not want to do that.

We begged for time off. We begged for it. They go, these people don't matter. Just replay something. Who cares? That's what quote Brian Bates. Yeah. Unquote. Aaron Webber. Still got it.

Daniel Earl. In 2025 I think Nate will use his new level of success to continue to elevate everyone around him And we will see big things than Nate land universe not just Nate Maybe a big big platform special for Aaron I was saying dusty will achieve a level of success that will make him disappear into the woods Well, let's hope so from your lips to God's ears Daniel. I like that Daniel though nothing for Brian. Yeah No protection for Brian. Aaron Dusty, ah, it's gonna take off.

Brian's on borrowed time. He's at where he's at. Brian will always be here. Where I'm at, Brian will be at. It will, yeah, I hope so too. I keep bearing with me with this stuff. I got a plan, you know, everybody gets worried. You go to Hollywood.

They think you're going to be weird. Like why I've never been, I've never changed now. You know, I talked to someone at the Golden Globes and it made like, that we brought up. It was someone that we ran in circles in New York, kind of the same, a long time ago. Not anybody that you would have seen me with on camera or anything. And then they brought up someone, and then I go, oh yeah, I go, you still see them? They just go, oh, I don't really run in those circles anymore.

And in my head, I'm like, I mean, that's all the circles. My circles are just everybody that I've ran with. I never got that, where it's like, why would you not talk to people that you were with your whole life? Yeah. You don't just come, you have acquaintance. But I mean, maybe this person really wasn't that close, but it's just a weird way, you know, it's like,

sounds like they're embarrassed. And you're like, yeah. I mean, my friends, I mean, some of my, most of my friends, I start with they're the opposite of anything that I would ever approve of in my life. But I still was me during all that stuff. Yeah. Look, we're, we, Nate Land's a, it's a long, it's a long plan, but it's a, we're gonna do it, man. We're gonna, we're gonna, it won't be just me. The point of it is to hopefully I will get out. And then we can get Brian's name added to this thing. And then we start Bates's name added to this thing. And then we start Batesland.

A few weeks ago. It's open for two hours. It opens Batesland open for two hours. 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and it's him at the gate just asking you, you know what, it'd be great if you guys just went home. You guys planning to stay the whole two hours? Yeah. There's not that much to do here. Yeah. What is Batelands? Well, you're gonna walk by my car. And when you walk by that, we'll have a Q&A about it. What was the basketball player you got autographed Carlos? Groves Carlos you go Carlos Groves over there in a tent y'all to meet him Is that me Carlos

He was in my magazine in 1988 yeah Player to watch a few weeks ago. Dusty said, talking about Nate Lentz success, a rising, you know, a rising tide lifts all boats. Well, I said, yeah, I mean, I think I said something like that. Yeah, I was trying to say it, but. And Aaron and I were arguing that, you were the tide, right? Yeah, that would make the analogy make sense. But he was just saying you're one of the boats said Nate, Nate's boats rising and we're all right. That's right. It's all up. Your other boat. Yeah. Yeah. But they want to be, you know, they want to be boats in the,

they want you to be the whole ocean. I'm like, we're all boats. He's got a bigger boat. We're all boats. They're like, no, Nate's the ocean. What is the ocean in your analogy? Success. I think you said good luck. Yeah, good fortune, you know. It's blessings. Yeah, yeah. It will all, yeah. I'm excited. I think about it all the time. Everything I think about will be in, I try to think of the audience. I try to think,

Kirkwood, I hate to say this, but Nate and Dusty will be fine with or without this podcast. Brian and Aaron unfortunately need this too much. Wow. What's the context for this? Yeah. This was going on when you blunt about this.

I mean, the last commenter was like, get this guy on Netflix. People are always commenting when you're not here that, Oh, he's going to, it's going to end this podcast soon. So he was just playing off of that. Oh, uh, well maybe put some context in there for Aaron. So he doesn't jump off of that. Oh. Well, maybe put some context in there for Aaron. So he doesn't go jump off a cliff tonight. I think that was very funny. I mean, he's not wrong.

But it doesn't need to be said. No, we need the podcast. You know, podcasts, look, I am going to get busy and I'm going to be here. But the point, it's a good anchor of a show. I talk about anchors shows a lot. It's a good thing for us to be here. We're gonna have other comics, you know They're gonna come in we're gonna it is our podcast together. It's no it's not Nate's podcast. It's our Four podcast we're all the same, you know, I have a hard time calling people folks I never been a big but a lot of Nate land listeners

come to my shows and it's very, it's very good. I love, you know, it's a great audience. Yeah. That listens to this podcast. Folks are just, you gotta, you know. I know. I just have a hard time with the word. People told me, quit calling us Nate land listeners.

We're folks. Yeah. You go give them a nice hello folks. Yeah. You say Nate land people. Yeah. Nate land people, listeners, our friends nice hello folks. Yeah. You say NateLand people. Yeah, NateLand people, listeners, our friends. Podcast subscribers. Our friends.

It's our three podcasts. Dusty has his own group of people. Yeah. What did the Dusty Knights? Yeah. I, you know, folks, it's a hard word for me to say first off. It's a tough word for anyone. It's a tough word for anyone. Mm-hmm.

It's a tough word. Folks. It feels like the L shouldn't be in there. Hello, folks. But you just do it like a, hello, folks. Yeah. Just ignore the L. Let's go, folks.

Folks. Yeah. If you ignore the L, it's a little easier. Folks. Yeah. There you go. Hello, folks. Maybe put it it's a little easier. Folks. Yeah. There you go. Hello folks. Yeah.

Maybe put it in there a little bit. I would just imagine somebody who hasn't listened to the podcast in like two years, they put on, they're still talking about. Yeah. Two years, like four years. Let's go and focus. Yeah.

You said, let's go folks on your Christmas special. Y'all think I don't think about you. Yeah. I don't get, yeah. Easter egg. Did everybody get nice and little credit for that? Yeah. You're the only one that even liked that phrase.

Uh, Ben Rider. I'm interested in how someone of Nate's size thinks about material that goes into his special. Like my physical size. Got a big one over here. He goes, you got a big boy, Nate, as you get bigger. How's your brain even get blood up there? Is it going to be more fat stuff?

Nate is obviously in rarefied air as someone who's been on SNL and had a re-enture and released a special on Netflix all in the same year. Yeah, how does someone think about material that goes into special. You know, people, it's all a journey. Again, I think, you know, there's a point I think you start trying to figure out, kind of you just, I just got to do what I think is right. I do worry, somebody asked that, they're like, you know, because you don't want to just be, am I getting laughs just because it's,

everybody's excited to be there and these jokes are not funny or these stories are not funny. I think about the lot, it's in my head constantly. I it's exhausting. You don't ever have to say it. Everything that you would think negative or say in a person, say negative. Trust me, I already felt a bit at the thousand.

I'm the most scared of, uh, phoning it in and like, you know, I don't want to do that. I would, I'd rather be out before I would ever get to that point, But it is the way it's got to go now. I think it's just got to evolve. It's like, I mean, if you want jokes, it's like that's why the Tennessee kid and the earlier stuff was jokes. That's where you learn how to write jokes. But as you grow and evolve and then become as a bigger act and as standup is even becoming into a big, standup is as big as it's ever been in the history of standup. And so as you're seeing all this new kind of way, the point of it is like, it's, I look at myself as like it's a movie. You're watching, I'm just describing a movie. And so it's me in the movie and this is the stuff I'm going through. I'm talking about my family

and whatever I've been going through, and you can relate to it on where you can relate to it. Yeah, I don't know if the jokes are, it's not always the same kind of thing, but it's your laughing. I mean, the last hour was completely different than the Tennessee kid and all that stuff, but it was murdering on the road. And you're like, you know, and it's just, it's almost like a song. It gets to like singing a little bit.

And so that's what makes it, that's kind of what you're doing is when you get up there for a while and then you're just kind of like, I'm just trying to make it be like, we are just having a conversation. But if I can keep the laughs, boom, boom, boom, boom, keep going. That's when, you know, it's like, that's the one thing that you're like, well, I can't, you guys are laughing like constantly, you know?

And that's where the joke is, I guess. There's now my jokes are probably not, the whole thing's not a joke, the whole thing's a story. And then the jokes are the little, there's, you know, a bunch of little jokes. That's probably how it looks now. Yeah, people get too picky about stuff now. Yeah, enjoy it.

I mean, or don't enjoy it, I don't care. I'm not saying, I didn't mean to say it like that. It doesn't matter. But in, it's, I just hope, you know, you want, like, you know, this is the first, like, comedy's in a spot where it's like, people are able to get to a level with stand-up only that was not the case when we even when we were first starting

it was like but you had gaffigan and Sebastian and Burr and Louie and you know where it was like Chappelle I guess you know like he did the Chappelle show was the biggest thing but so you had this where guys were just getting, you know, it's kind of a newer thing where comics are becoming just stand up comedian. You know, I've never done anything besides stand up comedy, besides like SNL and all that stuff. So you don't get it. And hopefully new comics, comics start now can see, you know, we can become a real, you know,

we just got nominated for, put on the thing for Golden Globes, stand-up comedy. It was like, it's two years. Yeah. It's been since 1940 and it just was two years ago they acknowledged stand-up comedy as it's, that it's its own. Who won? Ali Wong. Ali Wong. Okay. Yeah. Crazy, me and Ali. Me presented the award. Yeah, I presented the award. I was hosted. Oh yeah. No, I presented the award.

Me and Ali started together in New York. Kind of crazy. That was cool. Yeah. All right. Cory Buckner in the new special is Nate wearing a woman's jacket. I noticed the zipper pulls on the left.

I'm pretty sure men's jacket always have a zipper pull on the right. Michael Scott. Michael. I saw this. Yeah. And somebody said like European designers, the zipper will be on the other side. That's a woman's jacket. You want it to be a woman's jacket real bad. I do. It's a lot more fun than a European cut. Is that true? Europeans do that? That's what I read that. Like how they drive. I wanted to be like Michael Scott. Thank you. And also, who's the, who's Cory Buckner that he's the fashion police out here? Oh, women zippers are on the other side. Are you, it's like Cory's wearing a woman's jacket when he's writing this comment. Yeah. Don't pick on Cory.

It's a good question. Yeah. They, I look, I, it is, cause it's a, I think it's a good question. Yeah, they, look, it is, because I think it is a European, I think some jackets are being made like that, and maybe it's the European jacket. Because I do remember, a long time ago, I had a jacket that did the same kind of thing, and I thought the zipper's on the wrong side, and I asked, is it a woman's jacket,

and then that's what they told me. So it is not, it is a- Why would women have the zipper on one side and men asked is it a woman's jacket and then that's what they told me. So it is not. It is a- Why would women have the zipper on one side and men on the other? They're not strong. And- Yeah, that side you zip with your right hand. No, you zip with your left. I'm joking. You zip with your left hand. They go because they need help to do it. So they put it on that side so the man can use his right hand to zip it because it's going to be hard. You know, you un that side so the man can use his right hand to zip it because it's gonna be hard. You know, you unzip a woman in the back, a lot of them you do it in the front too

because they can't get down there. Not a lot of grip strength. Yeah. It's just science stuff, man. I don't make these stuff up. Now, people have said the poster for that special, your face was AI generated. Have you heard that?

Not have it. Everybody wants everything to be something. It looks like it's a little. Oh, it looks like it's a little touched up. I think it's probably a little touched up. Little? Yeah. All right, I don't, yeah.

It's not even you. Yeah. It's a bad AI. That's not AI. I do could see the jacket looks different. I don't think it's. I don't think AI can do hands. That's true. So yeah, it's just probably a little... Just the face.

Touched up. It's a good, but it looks good. Look, straight head, like a good picture. You look rugged in it. Yeah, that's why it's not him. I know. Well, that's why they make it. New year, new Brian. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. We live in a weird age where people are just able

to just overanalyze everything that's happening all the time. Yeah. It's a weird age. Yeah, that's what's, it's, I'm starting to get a little bit more of that. It was like, you can, it's funny, you can tell when you just, you can kind of cross over

into people start really talking to you, like you're not a human. And then they're just like, and you're, yeah. And I was thinking, I could have been more like you. Right. Yeah. But, nice stuff. At least Bates makes sure we see them in the comments.

Or if they're not in here, I'll bring it up myself. Hey, you won't believe what they're saying. Yeah, I couldn't even bring this to the public. Did you read this? Owen Bergstein. Bergstein, maybe. My family watched Nate's new special and really managed to bring us together. Halfway through, my grandma grandma who loves to make weird

Comments in the middle of movies declared so he has two prosthetic legs, doesn't he? When he When we asked her what she meant she calm explained that she thought Nate's leg looked really skinny and assumed they were prosthetic Yeah This guy's were prosthetic. This guy has two prosthetic legs. Yeah. Doesn't mention it once. Yeah. For an hour.

And you're wearing pants. It's not like you're wearing tights. No. My legs are skinny. It's because the top is too, got too big. That's, that's why. You tell your grandmother, it's because he- Just imagine that though.

You assume because someone's legs are skinny that he has two... He does stand up comedy on two prosthetic legs. He travels the country doing 260 dates a year on prosthetic legs. And really booked at walking up to the stage. It's kind of impressive. Well, it's their grandmother cut her a little no You gotta shut that. That's taking everything so serious. Yeah, that's all that's what I like to do I like to attack the commenters. Mm-hmm

Defensive yeah other people on the pocket. Yeah, Nate hammerback Pretty good name. That's what we're doing right now Yeah, yeah, I just rewatched the Krispy Kreme challenge video from a few years ago. The powdered donut holes record of five and 17 seconds was brought up and Nate thought he could beat it. I was wondering if Nate will do this. Donut holes record of five and seven oh and powdered in 17 seconds I would try it you just start by putting five in your mouth I don't think yeah yeah yeah yeah

oh no yeah yeah now I think I'm a little now I'm like yeah it's probably it's gonna be hard to get them down yeah but powder miss like yeah there's a saltine cracker challenge that went around years and years ago where it sounds on paper You're like I could do that. Yeah something about the dryness of it. Yeah, you couldn't you couldn't get that down Yeah, I have matured dude. You know, I mean, I'm not even gonna bite on that I know you're trying to get me roped in here to try to talk about this too. But No, I'm not gonna take the bait. Yeah, I'll just do that on my own No, I'm not gonna take the bait. Yeah, he'll do it.

I'll just do that on my own. I'll do that off camera. I'll do it on my own time. Anytime there's a... I'm not trying to break records. I do it in 25 seconds. I do it for the love of the game. Anytime there's a record like that, you do gotta think.

You probably can't break it. Yeah. Because anybody reads that and they go, oh, I can do that. Yeah. You can't do it. You can't do it. Not with that attitude. You can't do it. Mm hmm. You can't do it. Not with that attitude.

You can't do it, Aaron. Bet you can't do it. It's like the four minute mile. I know I can't do that. Alex Garan, Garan, Garan. Alexis. Alexis. Garan, man.

Maybe it's Alex is Garan. Garen. Alexis. Alexis. Garen, man. Maybe it's Alex is Garen. I bet that Alexis you can't get an Alexis in your house. Alexa? You definitely, yeah, can you change the name on an Alexa? I think there's an option to. Oh, really?

You can have an answer to a different name. I don't know the other name though. But if you named Alexis, you can't have that, you can't be talking to Alexa in the house, right? Yeah. I don't know. It's like, huh? Is it? No!

The other one. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. To change, you can just change the name of your Alexa device. To anything else? Yeah, you can call it Alexa, Amazon, Echo, Computer. You can't choose custom names, apparently.

That's like all Elon Musk's family's name. He goes, it's all those things. All his kids. He goes, well, so I can't have an Alexa, I guess. He goes, my computer told me I could have one. I like the name Computer. Keep it vague. Hey, Computer, Equipment.

Yeah. I like that name. Hey, computer, equipment. Yeah. I like that name. Really talk down to it. I like that. That's better than humanizing it with a human name. Alexis Garen, on October 30th, I gave birth to my third baby. I was trying to find something for late night feedings that wasn't too stimulating allowed me easy fall back asleep. I'm happy to say your podcast is now my favorite listen while feeding the baby at 2 a.m. Your voices are all very soothing and you talk about nothing so it's perfect to fall back asleep too. Thanks for some great laughs." That's all we're trying to

be baby. I've said that many times I mean, because I do that a lot in hotels, especially if I'm like a true by Hilton and there's a lot of demons in there. I need to fall asleep to something, not silence. And a good podcast like that where you're just talking, that's the way to go. I'm doing the 3 a.m. feeds right now. So I've been watching Monk.

Oh Monk. Just put something on, it's about to go off Netflix. What a, I got the whole DVD coming. I'm watching too 3 a.m. feeds right now. So I've been watching Monk. Oh Monk. Just put something on, it's about to go off Netflix. What a, I got the whole DVD. I'm watching through it. Me too. Yeah. I'm watching through Monk right now, just during that 3 a.m. feed.

So I get that. Monk is one of the best shows ever. It's really great. I'm gonna send you a picture. Okay. Because you talked about hotels for Dusty. Michael Clay, you know, started comedy with. He was just some, he was wherever and he just, look at that, take a picture of that. Oh, the Fontainebleau and Panama City Beach. Let me, let me pull it up

Uh, well, he goes, don't read into it. He goes, I think we're going to have a good, you know, the show's in a one hour. So I think we'll be all right. Uh, the Fontaine. The Fontaine blue.

Fontaine blue. That's where my dad's where my dad and my stepmom met. Yeah. Yeah. City beach. Yeah. That's a good, that's a good hotel. Yeah, I can tell.

It looks like he said they didn't stay there, but they drove, he was driving by all week, So he messed up. It's like it's a former Soviet union. Yeah. Like abandoned building here. This is a functional hotel. That's a hot spot. Okay.

Yeah. It looks like there's a nuclear blast not too far away. See the ocean. It's Chernobyl beach. Nuclear blast of fun up there. Where'd they meet on the rooftop? Well, they met in the lobby. I saw them meet.

The lobby? Where's the lobby? Well, my dad was very slick. Yeah, where's the lobby? The very small lobby? I think where- I'm sure you saw them meet. More over to the right here. Do you say you saw them meet?

Yeah. I was there. Me and my dad went down to Panama City with his friend and my friend. Oh, okay. I thought you were talking about your dad and your mom. Oh, no. Okay. That's very different. Yeah, my dad and his, his, his fourth wife and current wife. What do you mean his dad and his mom? That's why I was like, explain. It's impossible. You were like, explain the impossibility of that. Go ahead, Dusty. Well, I, you know, have been around this earth for a long time. This is my, my dad was in the lobby and this, my stepmom and this friend with them there, my dad

goes, he found out he heard what room they were in and they were next to ours. And he goes, my dad was like, he goes, now we're going to be staying right next to you. So don't be making a lot of noise. You know, we need to get, we need to get sleep. And then a little while later, after we got up to the room, those two women came and knocked on the door. Wow. And wanted to go for a walk with my dad and his friend. Oh man.

And then they ended up locking us out of the hotel room for many hours. Yeah. It was, it got a little cold at night and we were stranded walking around the floors of the Fontainebleau How old were you? Well 12 or 13. Oh, yeah old enough But yeah young enough to need to get back in old enough to fend for yourself for a little while

Yeah, we had some saltines or something. Now what happened to his friend and her friend? I think they you know, they got together or whatever, but they didn't carry on. Yeah. That's amazing. Look at that. And who were you with? Well, I was with my friend, Adam. Oh, okay.

Me and him had, you know, we had a good time. Yeah. But still friends with Adam. S. Murphy. I've always loved stand up, but never ventured into a comedy club because there's so much raunchy content. I didn't care for the Nate Land.

What? Oh, oh, okay. Because there's so much raunchy content I didn't care for. The Nate Land network has changed everything. I now buy tickets to shows for a whole list of awesome comics. I can thank you enough for making this genre more accessible. Alright. S. Murphy. Yeah. Thanks for coming to the shows. Alright. It's very nice. S. Murphy. Could you just name a kid one letter like that? Sure. Would they let you do that?

I don't know legally. I would think so. If you could. We'll see. JB? That's right. Jon Lee Bonley. You guys ever look up family history stuff?

Yeah, a little bit. Somebody that listens to this podcast sent me some family history stuff. They sent me a... Of you? Yeah. I guess they heard me and Brian talking about my grandfather and they looked him up and they said their church is a big family history thing. So I started going, I looked at this link and then I started looking at other relatives

and I'd never really gone down my grandmother's lineage last name Tally and I started going down it last night and it would be my Grant my dad's great-grandfather on his mom's side is Named Samuel Richard Tally and I named my son Samuel Richard and And I just thought that was cool. That is cool. It's like, you know, several generations ago. This guy, I read about him a little bit.

There was a little bit in there. His dad and his four brothers were all killed in the civil war and he had, in 1865, he had to fight at 14 years old. Oh my God. Go fight at 14 years old. Golly. 14. Just a 14. Probably all of them were made to do it. Yeah.

Insane. Yeah. Should have been an eighth grade. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. Insane. Yeah. Was he a real, did he have a drum or did they really put him to work?

Uh, it said he was only involved in some small skirmishes. And then it was over. But 14 years old. I'm hanging out at the Fontainebleau. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. I think I'd rather be in the Civil War.

Yeah. But I just found that the tallies are probably Irish. And my wife, she did a DNA test, 99% Irish. Oh, that could be related. So my kids, we could be, yeah. My kids are very Irish, apparently. They don't feel that Irish to me. Well, you don't spend a lot of time around them.

That's true. Right. Like, big drinkers. Yeah, a lot. That's what I mean. Pretty fiery tempers. Yeah. That's what I mean. Pretty fiery tempers. Yeah. Oh, okay.

These kids are sweet, but they'll let you know when they're not happy. My son is one years old and we were trying to give him a banana the other day and he was really mad. He took the banana, threw it on the floor. Oh, that's awesome. Kid loves bananas. Yeah. Anyway.

Yeah, they can have. Kid loves bananas. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, they can have some tantrums.

So yes, last night I was at the Golden Globes. I presented for Best Stand-Up Special, Ali Wong won. It was, it is kind of crazy, like Ali was, me and her did start together. It is pretty surreal when you get up there and you're like, you've just been around these people for ever.

Denzel Washington. You're just looking, you're talking about that. Just the celebrity. No, no, just the other guys. But I'm saying even just career wise, you know, how Nate and Denzel are just hanging out all the time. I go like, what? DWA.

He's just like us guys. I go, I watched glory. That's the only one of your movies I'm allowed, what? D.W. He's just like us guys. I go, I watch Glory. That's the only one of your movies I'm allowed to watch. And then, so I wrote this, so I had the presentation. I wrote this, I had this story and I was like, this was like, I had to write it in a joke form because it had to be so quick. The parrot, this is a real story.

In South Dakota. I might have talked about it on here. Talking parrot at the show. Yeah, yeah. It did not say you're not funny. It would just squawk. I mean, just randomly during the show, it was there for the two early shows. Late shows, he would put it to sleep in another room and Then that's when it made me ask him I go why would you not just do that in the early shows and he goes well, I like him in the early shows And so you just knew you had to deal with

So just throughout the show just go squawk. Oh just yell. It's a bird that yeah, you're been around parrot is loud Yeah, cockatoo cockatoo. Yeah, they bird that yell. Have you ever been around a parrot? It's loud. Yeah. A cockatoo, right? Yeah, a cockatoo, yeah. Yeah, yeah, they don't chill out, you know? So it's, you just don't know when he's going to do it. And so it's just, it's the worst kind of thing because there's no timing to it. You know, it could be right as you're saying the last word of a punchline. It's just, You're just like, oh. It was, yeah, it was. So I was a little nervous doing this joke. I read, I ran it this weekend at Brea up top because it was like you're making a parrot's

noise. I'm not, you know, it's like doing a little something that I'm not super comfortable doing. But I was pretty nervous before I walked out. That's one that, you know, they actually get nervous. As I'm walking out, I'm pretty nervous. My hands were, I wiped my hands off. They had Kleenex in the back and I wiped my hands off because they were feeling like kind of sweaty right before I went. Because you just you know you're like golly if you bomb in this room or you know it's just gonna be whatever. The whole experience of the Globes it was it's awesome man I mean it's you know you see this stuff on tv dude it's like crazy and it's

like crazy and it's the best. Me and Laura went, Laura looked beautiful. And so we, you know, you did like some red carpet and you did that and- You did the legit like walking down a red carpet? I did, we did not at the first because the line was so long and they were only doing the presenters. It's funny, you just see everybody in line.

So you see like Harrison Ford, Ted Danson, Jason Segal. They're all just in a line, like waiting to go through that red carpet because it's like, now you go. It's not like anybody just gets to just go. Oh, it's not just you walk through when you show up. You walk through, you walk down, the whole red carpet's a whole red carpet walk through, you walk down the whole red

I don't, you know, they tell you, you have a publicist that kind of tells you like, you know, you can do interviews or don't, or he's like, don't worry about interviews here and just kind of keep going. And, but today's show I'm going back to, I'm doing the show with Willie Geist in January.

And then I just did the Today Show and they've been very nice. So I was like, said, what's up to them? And then talked to them for a second. But it was, the night got started, so we start walking down the red carpet. I'm gonna say all this stuff, I mean, it's, yeah, this will be names, I'm not trying to, you know, everybody. Well, the whole point of this is names.

Yeah, do you wanna be the red Hulk? It's because they make the movies so, that's because they're making the movies, it's costing $50 billion to make that movie. So they gotta be like, we got Harrison Ford's in it. Can we welcome? Yeah, Walmart's playing one part. They just need everybody, anybody and everybody. Amazon, we got Alexa.

Alexa is going to be most voices. We got to try to make our money back on this. So we go, so we're walking down and you're seeing everybody. I'm walking in, Angelina Jolie, right next to me. This started it off. So it's me, Laura, my manager, and my publicist. And then so we're walking down, and then she like kinda is walking,

and she looks over and we kinda, and I was like, hi, I'm comedian and I'm next. She goes, I know you, you're my favorite comedian. Wow. Yeah, so we started off, I mean, so I got a little pep in my step now. I'm like, Glenn Powell doesn't stand a chance. I'm gonna walk up to him and be like, Glenn Boy! Glenn-ay! I go, if Ang knows me, Ang knows me, Glenn! So she was very cool and very, like it was, she was there with her, one of her daughters, Zara,

I believe, and her daughter was very nice too. And she was, they were just very, you know, it was like crazy, it was like crazy. Like you're just like, oh. And so, you know, you're kind of like, thank you. And you know, and you have like a nice little moment or second, and then she kind of went on and you know, then I go, then I go through that. This is all at the beginning. Then I go through there. And then when I get there, I'm making a

turn and I get tapped and Jake Gyllenhaal. And he goes, you know, he's like, what's he goes, I love your stuff, you know. And I'm like, oh, thanks, man. I go, I go, I love Roadhouse. That's what I said to him. Yeah. I go, I love Roadhouse. I go, it was so much fun.

He goes, yeah. He goes, thanks, man. I mean, he's like even, he's nominated for something. I don't know what it is, but I'm like, I loved Roadhouse, man. I mean, he's even, he's nominated for something. I don't know what it is, but I'm like, I loved Roadhouse, man. I go, that was super fun. I love fun stuff. This is exactly what I said to him.

Yeah. I go, how was Connor McGregor? He goes, he's Connor. He has to, he's like, yeah. But he was very, very- Did Roadhouse not do well in that? No, no, it did great. Oh, it did?

Yeah. Oh, okay. On Amazon? Okay. No, no, it did great. Oh, okay. Yeah, on Amazon? Okay. Yeah, yeah, it did great. People don't, if you say it's a bad movie, then you're just, there's no point of you watching the movie. Like, it's not... I just wonder why he would have that reaction to you when you say, I love Roadhouse.

No, he did. He had a nice reaction, but I'm just saying out of all the stuff, you know, he's a legit, real crazy actor. And just to be like, I love your Fritos commercial. Yeah, he's like well I've done it. Presumed. I love bubble boy. Yeah. Yeah, which is what I love. Presumed I would have said maybe even the thing he was nominated. Presumed innocent that show that he did. Yeah, that's what everybody else there is doing and I'm just walking in like is doing and I'm just walking in like, Roadhouse, I watch it.

It's just, Roadhouse is just, you know, it's just a crazy, it's- What's the cowboy movie? Oh, okay. Brokeback Mountain? Yeah, that would have been a different one to say. That would have been a different one to say. Love Brokeback Mountain, my guy.

Yeah. Yeah. Watch it nightly. Can't quit it. It's a good reference. So then now we're, now we're kind of thinking, but yeah, Jake, he was super cool. And then now we're in kind of the thick of it. And then we're going in Glenn Powell. I did, uh, Glenn Powell did the Waste Manager.

I did not meet him then. It's a golf tournament. The golf tournament that we, I did a couple years ago. But yeah, then came into the group. I'm a big fan of Glen Powell. I think Glen Powell, he lives in Austin, Texas. I think he's doing a lot of what I want to do for Nate Land. Like the stuff that he's making is a lot of twister and you know, it's very fun, fun movies. And so we talked for a second, it was fun. He had his parents with him. And then I'm trying to think, so then I go in,

and I think that after Glenn Powell, it's like kind of, we're trying to go to the red carpet, go around, I'm trying to think about selling it to anybody else there. So then we go into the, then we're into the show. And so I'm sitting there watching the show. And so you're like, now we're watching the show and you're. Do you have assigned seats, I assume?

Yes. Yeah, yeah. So I went and did the run. I did my rehearsal the day, the Saturday. So you go in and just kind of do your thing. And then you see, we had a seat, our seats were, Laura was on camera, out here, this is the video.

Did I, you got the... Oh, on Twitter? Yeah. So look at this, can you expand it? Yeah. So this is Tim De Chalamet and Jake Gyllenhaal. Then look at me in the back, you see my hands shaking my jacket out because I'm hot, like a fat idiot. I mean, my goodness, if it couldn't look more like

just, you know, like I'm at a carnival ride. Tim the Chalamet looks nice and cool. Yeah. Everybody, no one does that because they just go, yeah, you sweat it out and just be normal, you don't, you don't air yourself out. This is so we're sitting right next to them. Uh, and just so we're dangerous. So that close to kind of the main. Oh, the thick of it, dude. We're in the thick of art.

We were with Abbott Elementary, everybody. Yeah, they lost. That was who was at your table? Yeah. Everybody at the table was Abbott Elementary. Everybody, yeah, they lost. That was who was at your table? Yeah, everybody at the table was Abbott Elementary and me and Laura. I was trying to figure out who else was at your table. Yeah, and they were nominated and then they were all very cool and... Janelle's great. Yeah, Janelle James.

Did you know her from stand up? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so everybody was like fun. They, the guy that was the producer, I guess, was kind of next to me and he goes, it's embarrassing. It's just like, I've been doing good this past week. We're serious about losing some weight. You can't be waving your jacket wide open in front of Colleague Jenner. And she's worth 40 billion dollars. She is Hollywood.

Yeah. It's getting hot back here, boy. It was so hot in that room. So Tim Michelle May went up to him. He knew me, said hi. I was just talking about, you were great on college game day. Oh yeah, he was unbelievable.

He was unbelievable because I love it. And he was just a Vanderbilt. Oh really? The day before college. Oh yeah yeah. So with Abbott Elementary they lose their thing and then so then they're all there and they go they do a cheers and they're doing cheers for each other right. To Abbott Elementary and then so then I'm there and I'm thinking like, oh, I'm, you know, so I hold it up and when I hold up to cheers, I cheers the guy and as I touch his glass, he goes, well, it's for everybody at Abbott Elementary. And then I go, I'm so I just jumped in on their cheers. He didn't want me apart.

That's so weird that he would be like that towards you about it. Yeah. You're like, I'm just at your table. You know, I'm at your table. You guys lost. I'm cheersing to you. Yeah. You're like, I'm just at your table. I'm at your table. You guys lost. I'm cheering to you. Yeah, I thought, I was like, what do you want me to do? He'd be like, you know. I'll be like, oh you guys lost. I don't want to get in on this. Oh, well you guys cheers. Me and my wife are gonna turn her back to the table. Yeah. Yeah. He didn't, it wasn't me. It was like

kind of just a awkward, like you know. To your friend, Nate Barghetti. Like I was like, yeah. Cheer. Like I was gonna be loud about it and go I to your friend. Yeah, like I was like, yeah shit Like I was gonna be loud about it and go cheers. Cheers. Yeah I was just trying to you know, go with the what was going on at the table and you're not a big cheers guy You've talked about that. Uh, no I'm not a big fan of it. But I mean, I've won that thing who beat them Hacks hacks. Yeah. Yeah. Who beat them? Uh hacks. Hacks. Hacks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Edward Norton was right in front of us. Did not talk to him. Uh. He seems scary. I hear Edward Norton's are like real hard to work with. Uh. That's just gossip. Unbelievable actor. Yeah. Yeah. That's gossip out there. That's why they say he

was replaced as the Incredible Hulk by Mark Ruffalo. Mm. Cause he's too hard to work with. Yeah. Makes sense. Yeah. And so- It could be the Red Hulk. Yeah. Apparently, you know, it's always like, you kind of think when people are hard to work with,

cause you're here that, and then, you know, I'm always like, how could you be hard? I'm trying to think, I haven't really seen it. I mean, I guess I've seen some that are, it's like just a little difficult. They're always going to be late. They're always going to be, it just feels like you're on their time.

There are some standups that are nightmares. Yeah, yeah. It's just hard. Some people, You have a couple of names. Like who? We'll talk about it off air. Yeah.

They just show up when they show up. So we're sitting there, we're at the table, we got a great seat. I mean, I went back to, they come grab you before you go present, and so you go in the back, and it was very hot in there, and then so you go in the back, and then you, I was like seeing the TV, and that's when I I realized like, because Laura is sitting there, when it gone, and I'm like, I see Laura like a few times. And I'm like, so I came back, I was like, you're on TV a lot. They had, I mean, the seat was like, we're just up against that rail on that second row. So you're just seeing. We spotted you immediately.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're in white, she's in red. Yeah. Ruth was like, is that Megan Laura? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Laura looked really great. And it was so, it was fun. So then it's the cool thing about the Golden Globes is like, it is a relaxing, so you're in this room with all these crazy people. Now the fun little story about it, I can tell you this one little story about it. So this is at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. So something that was cool for me, when I was, I remember first going out to LA, you always wanted to have to go to LA, you know? Like you hear comics, just go like, I gotta go out to LA for stuff. Got some meetings out there.

Yeah, and you're always like. Hollywood's calling, baby. And I mean, that's all I wanted was to like have a, you know, be like, I gotta go to LA for this thing. Because everybody would say like that they go pilot season. You ever hear that like pilot? Yeah, man, you know, I'm going out to LA for two months for pilot season.

I was like, I never got to go to pilot season. They would be gone for two months. It's like during the coldest time of the year in New York, we're just staying there doing spots and then all your other friends are just doing 40 auditions for every pilot. And then I'm just back, you know. So you always want a reason. So then when I used to go out,

I would go out and stay at Nick's house a lot. I'd been there for years. I would stay with Nick, no Vicky. Before he was married and even after he was married. And then I was able to finally get to, I could go and like kind of stay at a hotel if I went out there not too long ago. But I remember the Beverly Hilton,

I would always look and this was, this is 10 years ago. So it wasn't like too crazy. It was like, I forget what it was, $200 a night or something like that. Like I don't think too insane back then. But I was like, man, if I can get to where I can just stay in that hotel, because it's like, that's a famous hotel. It's like in Beverly Hills. It's like, you know, you're just kind of like, I don't know, my brain

can only think about the, you know, I would stay in Times Square in New York. That's just how I... And so I remember I went and stayed at the Beverly Hilton a lot. I finally got to where I was staying at the Beverly Hilton. There's before they have a Waldorf Astoria right across the street from him. And it wasn't even built yet. And so I finally got to the point where I stayed at the Beverly Hilton. And so it was always kind of a special thing

because it was the first little kind of goal nugget, kind of cool thing that I just kind of had for myself. You're not trying to brag about or anything, but in my head I go, if I can just get it where I could go and afford to stay there. And Laura's not like, where are you staying? And everybody, you know.

And so to be back there for this was pretty wild. And I mean, I walk in by where I checked in. I mean, I walked in a hotel a lot. And I walked to where I check in and I walked into, you know, it was like, yeah, it was pretty, pretty, pretty surreal. I was telling Travis, Travis who works with me, and you know, we grew up with together because Travis always come out and hang with me. I remember in that hotel is when I told him, I him I was like I go if I can ever get big

I was like I'll hire you to do something. Yeah, and like so it's like there's a lot of stuff that was just pretty special To then be in there presenting. Yes, so cool. It's a cool full circle moment So, yeah, so then so you're going up and you're seeing everybody it's a it's every I talked to everybody I'll send you this I'll send you this picture This is Someone who I met I will airdrop it to Aaron. Oh, yeah name-dropping me. Oh Or don't say that because that makes me feel bad. I told you it was going to be, I apologize for it.

I don't see your thing, Aaron. Oh, airdrop. Now I see it. Yeah. You got Angelina Jolie thing. Very cool though. Very cool. That's unbelievable.

Very cool. That's unbelievable. Here you go. I'm a big Tomb Raider fan. Oh yeah, Laura Croft. Salt? Did you mention salt to her? Here's my boy.

Which one's The Rock? Yeah! Uh, The Rock was, you know, he's wonderful. Tough to get a ring over your whole finger when you're The Rock. I bet, I was saying, as I was watching this, I go, I bet when you meet him, you're like, I get it. Oh, I get it.

Yeah. I went up, so look, I will when you meet him, you're like, I get it. Oh, I get it. Yeah. I went up. So look, I will be honest with you. I got a little confidence when Angelina Jolie said it, that I go, I might be able to walk up to some of these people. I might be the most popular guy at the Golden Globes. They're lucky to have me. Yeah. I'm like, all right, all right, let me see. And so, luckily, he was at the table with Ted Sereno, runs, owns Netflix, like, and so,

and I know Ted from Netflix, so I was like, I was like, all right, I have a backup to be, if he's like, I'm like, really cool to meet ya. You know, I always think, like, I'll just go up and say, really cool to meet ya, fan of what you're doing, and then if I don't feel anything, then I just can leave and go, Ted, and then, you know, I always think like, I'll just go up and say, really cool to meet you, a fan of what you're doing. And then if I don't feel anything, then I just can leave and go to it. And then, you know, have a plan so you're not just stung.

An out. Yeah. And so I was like, saw a little moment, I was like, all right, I'm gonna go do it, right? And then when I went up to him and then he was, knew me, was wonderful. He's a big standup fan, right? Yeah, yeah.

And then was a big, uh, he went to McGavick and Glencliff, uh, here. We talked about that. Go McGavick talks about you all the time here in Nashville. Cause he went to, yeah, he went to me. He didn't graduate from there. No, he would go there for a short time. He went to Glencliff and McGavick and he went here. And then he would wrestle at the Nashville Fairgrounds. Okay. And so, but he was wonderful, dude. I've talked about him being everywhere. I think he's done, I think it's been, it doesn't feel like it as much anymore now, but you get like, I will tell you from what the moments I talked to him, I was asking him, you know, look,

honestly, a lot of stuff about what I want to do with Nate Land was a big him, I was asking him, look honestly a lot of stuff about what I wanna do with Nate Land. Was a big, I was like I really want to talk to someone like that, that's built it to be like what he's building. And he would talk to you all day. What did you call him? I called him Dwayne when I first went up.

Okay, yeah. And then, and now it's- As it went on, you were like, the rock. I go, the rock. Yeah. I go, do you have a spell? It doesn't matter what you- It doesn't matter what you-

Uh, I, I can show you one other, uh, it's of him, but it's, uh, it was the moment, uh, cause I talked to him when I was at the, who took this Laura? Uh, his daughter, Harrison Ford, Harrison Ford. You see it. That's what is shaking. And then, uh, so that's Nikki. So we went in, uh, to Nikki's green room, uh, afterwards, right? We, uh, being friends with Nikki, noy and stuff. So, and then he came in on his own. Like, so everybody's gone. He needed some help buttoning his shirt.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But like, it was like, that was like the nice, no one, I did not see anybody else come back there. Just to like tell her you did a great job. He goes, they walk in, they go, Dwayne Johnson would like to just say, and he walked in and said, you did great, this is impossible, and you bet, like just told her how great she was and how great,

you know, because I just wanna let you know that and blah. Like, I mean, you know, he goes out, he has to go out of back way, cause it's like, he's too big. Yeah. And so that's like, seeing that was like, to even go like to think about he said up front, you know, he's gonna get made fun of, he didn't win anything. But he brought his daughter and they went back there and he said, and he just, you know,

it was after two, it wasn't like immediate and like was like very, very cool. And when you meet him, you see him in videos and all this and being fans and stuff like that. I like, I think he's that guy, dude. If you see him meet with people and be nice and he's a very nice person. And he's a person that, you know, came up to WWE loves uh you know the stuff he makes is for everybody. You know when I did Jimmy Kimmel in 2018 he was on there pitching Jumanji and we were in the same room together and I really wanted to go talk to him but I was so nervous I had never done late night and so I didn't and I do regret not going over and just saying hey, because yeah, I mean,

I was a huge fan. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I was too. I mean, it was, and you know, it's funny knowing now he would have been the most, like he's the best. He's just a super nice person. Yeah.

And... It would really change your career if you had just talked to him. I know, I do regret at least not saying hey. You know what's funny? This would be dusty land right now. He would have honestly probably stayed in touch with you and followed your career. Yeah. I know. I mean I already regret it but I appreciate you guys filing it on. He has big plans. He's what's that long haired woman on your podcast? I go. So, but yeah, he was, he was awesome, dude. And then, so it's nice to, it's, you know, a lot of, you know, a lot of stuff with Hollywood, a lot of, you know, it's like, look, everything's awesome and you see the Golden Globes and,

you know, stuff's nominated for everything. It's like a lot of the cool stuff wins and all this and you don't know what, you know, you know, it's like not, a lot of people don't see these movies or shows and you know, war shows, that's been a big thing. But when you, when I met him, you're like, you do feel, you do feel like you're like, oh, you got a guy on, there's a lot of people, I think kind of like-minded, you know, Glenn Powell,

like people that do think about entertainment to be entertainment and to be what it's supposed to be. Not that everybody makes mistakes and everybody does stuff wrong, but it's nice to kind of be like, all right, like I don't, you know, you don't feel like you're the only one. Not that I'm, I'm not these guys, but you know.

So it was great. Then we went, so then we went then we went so then we went to yeah then you went to the after party yeah Netflix after party Kevin Bacon came up to me yeah he goes he was like he's like I'm a fan very nice all that stuff and he goes he goes yeah come I want to come see when you're in New York and I was like oh yeah man he goes what do you you when you're in New York. And I was like, oh, yeah, man. He goes, what do you do when you go to New York? Like the beacon? And I had to, like, it's, and I go, I go, well, I'm sorry, I'll be at Madison Square

Garden. I'll be there. And he goes, Madison Square Garden? And I was like, I'm like, I apologize. I'm sorry. I did, he really feel bad. Like, where's Eno, no one knows the standup. You know, they're just, the Beacon's like where Jerry Seinfeld goes.

So they're like, they don't think of it. What are you, middle of the Carolines? Yeah. Because they come check you out. It is funny to humbly be able to say Madison square garden. Yeah. Yeah. To be, I was like, I really, I said, I'm sorry.

I got, I don't know how to tell you this. It's not, yeah, I don't, it's massive. What venue are you doing? The venue. The venue. Like, the venue. The venue. So, yeah.

Yeah, you're like, well, this time around. Yeah, I've been to the bacon, but this time around, I'm gonna do a little spot called Madison Square Garden. Yeah. You do feel stupid saying it. And you're like, I'm sorry. I said it right after, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm no footloose here. But, uh. Yeah. Uh, so, uh, I'm trying to think, uh, those were the kind of cool, I'm trying to just tell you the fun, cool stuff that I think people want to hear. I'm not trying to, you know, you have any awkward moments with people? I would have said, I don't know.

I found out about Kevin Baker. I loved few good men. And then I would have nothing else to say. Tremors. Uh, footless. I had, uh, the one was, uh, he's most known for in the Weber household. A few good men. I think footless. I had, the one was. What do you think he's most known for? In the Weber household, a few good men. I think Footless.

I would say Footless. Because he's like the fourth lead in that movie. Yeah, he's great in it. He's great in everything. Kevin Bacon. He's a good engineer isn't that. Him? Right here.

Data, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He came up. Oscar winner. Yeah. Yeah. Also in Indiana Jones. Yeah. It wasn't Indiana Jones. Yeah. Everything everywhere all at once he won the Oscar for. Yeah. And he came up and said he

was a big fan of you. Came up and said yes and was saying that. He looks emotional taking the picture. He's so excited. Well, he, the reason I took a picture, he came up and asked to take a picture and then I was like, well, I mean, I guess I should take one too. Yeah. And then so we did, but yeah, was very, very nice and complimentary and came over and yeah, it was, it was, yeah, pretty crazy. That's amazing. Yeah. It was, it was, yeah, the whole thing was, yeah, Laura had fun. It's like, you know, you see the stuff on TV is like pretty cool, man. Pretty fun. And those were the, yeah, that's kind of the highlights of it all that my little thing I wrote about the pair was,

you know, got a laugh, got some laughs, like, you know, got in and out, nothing crazy. Yeah, the great thing about yours is, uh, I thought Nikki did great off the top. And then they start doing two actors really tight on the camera off to the side. Yeah. And a lot of it just, they were going too long. They just weren't hitting. But then when you came out, you're straight forward on the stage by yourself. That's a little bit wider. It looks more like a standup. And I don't know how they decide who did what, but yours seemed to really hit. Because I write my own.

That's the thing with comics. I mean, I don't always write everything. I mean, this one I wrote on my own. I had this story and I was like, all right, I'll try to do a story. And I kind of wrote it out. Then Vecchione, after we taped Vecchione Special, Vecchione came to my house and like next day me and him just kind of

like went through it. We had a funny thing with it the long version of the story I think I have right here that I liked and then did you send it? I sent it to Bates too. Because I changed it. Oh yeah, this. Where I was like, I love standing comment. I did the whole other thing. I go, for one, I remember doing a show in South Dakota when I first got started on the road to a small group of people and a parrot. The parrot was in the back, would not have been in the show. all group of people on a parrot. The parrot was in the back, would not should have been the show. I asked the only other employee in the room, a dog, to do something, but he just let it happen. So that was one, that was a line that I liked. That I was-

You just had to cut for time. Yeah. And then it was like, we were talking about like, I think the dog confused, you know what's funny? I read it to Harper and then Harper was like well what's the dog and I was like I get the dogs just for the little time I have the dog kind of confuses I raised a Ruth and she didn't get it yeah the dog yeah yeah and so so then I was like alright well then I was like you know but that was one that was those one that I liked I think the men would have gotten it yeah apparently all these women don't get the joke so yeah that was one that I liked. I think the men would have gotten it. Yeah. Apparently all these women don't get the joke. So yeah. That was a joke. That was it. But it was fun. Sure was. It was the best. That's awesome. Yeah. Well, kind of

different but similar today. Someone that was never at the Golden Globes. But a huge entertainer like yourself, Elvis. Yeah, never at the Golden Globes. I don't think we can call this episode Elvis though. Well, we're not done yet, Dusty. It's going to be about Golden Globes and some Elvis stuff. Yeah. No, I got, we're gonna do another hour. Then we'll bring up Elvis. Yeah. I like it. Decide at the end of the podcast what we call it.

Is it, uh, we're just getting going. Now a documentary about Elvis won a Golden Globe. Do we? Big Elvis fan, by the way. I was listening to him in the car on the way. Oh, shut up. Well, I wanna give a shout out to Brian Smith who wrote in and said, you guys have been talking about Elvis a lot.

Won't you do a whole episode on the King and then I looked and today Wednesday January 8th is Elvis's 90th birthday. Wow. Can we fill Nate in on Aaron's take on Elvis? Aaron hates Elvis and Dusty does too. Well, that's not really what I said. I said, as big as he is and as much of a cultural icon as he is, I don't think anybody cares about his music now. Like nobody's ever, okay. Nobody's in the car and goes, yeah, put on some Elvis. What do you want to listen to? I don't know. How about some Elvis? Whereas, I don't know, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, like those act, the music, people still care about it, right? I don't know if anybody cares about Elvis's music.

Because there is a thing that either an Elvis guy or a Beatles guy, but it seems like all the Elvis people are gone. I feel like that was a thing at some point. Yeah. Yeah. For one year in the 60s. I think there's Elvis Channel in Sirius, people play Elvis Christmas. Well the Christmas was the exception we talked about. And then, but I think like, I mean I've watched that one performance of him

in that South Dakota, what's the one song? I mean that's the best thing you've ever seen. He's sweating real bad in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean he's about to die. Oh, when he, my way. My way. And like, I mean I use it as, I show it, we were show it before we go on stage and have it playing that concert. But just remind yourself, no matter where you're at, that guy was in South Dakota. He died two weeks later and he went out there and did a show for the people as if it

was, he was in New York City and he was in Rapid city, South Dakota, right? Anybody that could phone it in at a point was that guy when he's that big. And he's, you know, this is my whole point. The thing is him. Yeah. He's the absolute legend. Yeah. But, but, but his music, you're never been in the car with anyone.

I would say, and they go, what do you want to listen to? How about to my old bus? No. Yeah. I don't think there, maybe there's people that are on mine, but I think his music's great. I mean, I think people more might. I think people more might. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I think they do too. I think you, you don't. I'd never hear his music talked about in that way. Where, who are you talking to about Elvis? Nobody. That's the point.

Yeah, I know because you're, but you would never be, uh, When I listened to- You just wouldn't be in your world. I listened to some music from- Your parents. That era. Yeah. Well, not, no, Elvis was for the people, man.

You're, y'all were the working class. Not the Webbers. Yeah, of course you didn't like Elvis. He goes, why would you? Bach. He goes, yeah. You know, Elvis- He was the Bach. Yeah. He goes, y'all were Bach. He goes, yeah. You know Elvis. He was the Bach.

Yeah. He goes, you liked music that didn't have words. Thought Elvis, he goes, he's too wordy. Let's put on some Bach. I didn't like the way he danced. Tasteless. Despite being dead for over 40 years, Elvis still sells about 1 million albums each year.

It's all Christmas albums. Second most paid deceased celebrity. Who's first? Madonna? Michael Jackson? Yeah. Really? Madonna's gotta be up there.

She's alive. Oh, damn. Well, depends on who you ask. I think... What does that mean? I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to get on.

Explain that. Yeah. He was the biggest, most famous person in the world at one point. Yeah, it's still the most fam... Just one name, Elvis. I mean, still that famous. I agree with all that. Yeah.

I think people like his music and I think they listen to his music. I know what you mean, the idea that you just... You think more people listen to The Beatles than Elvis? I think people like his music and I think they listen to his music. I know what you mean, the idea that you just- You think more people listen to The Beatles than Elvis? Uh, yeah. I don't think it's even close. Uh, as far as record sales, it's Beatles won and then it was him too, but I think Michael Jackson passed him.

I think he's third. Mm-hmm. Oh, he sold that many? Yeah. So someone listened to it. But when? He sold it all in the 60s and 70 Yeah. So someone listened to it. But when? He sold it all in the 60s and stuff.

You can't help but know. He sold them in one day. It was one day he sold that many and then everybody moved on. You know, he was kind of a, what do they call it? A flash in the pan. Yeah. Yeah. He makes a million dollars.

He has a better career than you right now. But I still, none of that's a dispute. I still agree with the premise. Yeah. Yeah. That in the car, somebody will put on Michael Jackson. Someone will put on the Beatles. Someone will put on, I don't know. I don't even think anybody's listening to Madonna either, but... I think the age group would maybe be that would listen to Elvis is probably

not the same where Michael Jackson was younger and kind of like, was more in pop. Yeah. And so you heard him... He's the king of pop. Yeah, so you heard him... But Elvis is the king of rock and roll. Yeah, yeah, but it's like rock and roll is kind of, you know, I mean, I don't make fun of him though. Yeah. I can't stand for that.

Well, you wrote, you don't like him as a musician. Yeah, I can't stand for that. That song is- I don't think the music's good at all. Yeah. But you, that's the worst version. I mean, Howe Dogg's probably the worst song. That's his most popular song. You don't get to take away your most popular song. It's a great song. What was wrong with it? away your most popular song. It's a great song. What was wrong with it? It's a great song. It's fine.

It just aged. It sounds so hokey. I think he's singing about you. He ain't gonna know. That's why he's singing like that. Ain't nothing about a hound dog crying all the time. But if something ages. That's my whole point is that it hasn't aged the way.

You ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine. Now Elvis is all about the phenomenon of who he was as a person. Yeah. Not about his music didn't age through the years well. Yeah. Does that make sense? I think it does. I think it's the opposite though. I think it skewed you because he is such a phenomenon that you think of him more as a comical joke. I think you're young and you watched the movie and you didn't like the movie so you just go the guy was not that great and you're that's what you didn't like the movie, so you just go, the guy was not that great.

And that's what I would imagine. Because your young age, y'all imagine, there was no world before you. That's right. And you go, good, get over this Elvis guy. Because back when he was doing all this stuff, and he does those songs, and they're the biggest thing in the world. I mean, it's like,

you know, does every Beatles song transcend into the time? Like does every- Ton of them do, yeah. Yeah. You guys, I don't know. I think people leave you listening to fun country stuff. I mean, it's crazy. Yeah, two planes. I was- You had two airplanes. Totally on board with you until you started making fun of Elvis is singing And you lost me. He's just got one guy on the body boy. It's a beautiful voice. Yeah. Yeah, it's gorgeous What's the song that he said? It's unbelievable. I mean he has a million songs

Yeah, but the one with the famous one reason are you lonely tonight? Love me tender love. Yeah Yeah, yes, I mean we're having trouble Are you lonely tonight? Love me Tinder? Yeah. Yeah. Geez. I mean, we're having trouble naming four to five songs. I don't know if we can play it. I can play five seconds of it. Look up his top songs. South Dakota. Let's go to Spotify. Let's look at the hard data. No, go to the YouTube of South Dakota where he's... I've seen that. That almost proves my point that it's more... Yeah. I can't help falling in love.

I mean, that's a good one. It's a billion plays. Burning love. Yeah. I guess that's not that good. Is that 48? And then let's go to one of his lower plays. Is that 498? 198 million. Let's do that one. Is that 48 million monthly listeners? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 48 million monthly listeners. 47 million of those is the 25 days of Christmas. Is that one billion? I can't help falling in love? Yeah, yeah, yeah. One billion?

Yeah, that's a good song. So, all right. That's a good song. Go to Beatles. Okay. 48 million monthly listeners. Been dead for 130 years. 33 million. 33 million.

33 million, listen, look at that. Spotify, the Beatles are barely even a band. They're just, they're putting out of your mind. You're crazy, your whole system's falling apart. Spotify is your life, this is all you know. I can't believe Here Comes the Sun though has that many. Yeah, it has 1.5 billion. That's not the song that I would think. Look at that dude. Wow. Elvis is... That stinks. I hate that that happened. I think the thing you don't realize...

What about Michael Jackson? You know what the problem is? A lot more Asian people than you think and they love Elvis. Yeah, that's true. They love Elvis. Michael Jackson, 45. Let's dig into the American numbers. Michael Jackson's a 45. Let me know when you find one that gets to, your boy Elvis.

Yeah. Can you beat someone? Taylor Swift. 96 million. Wow, barely, barely. Well, that's a shame. That's a shame. Yeah, yeah.

2.7 billion on Cruel Side. That is the saddest. Yeah, but she's alive. She's alive shame. Yeah. Yeah. Two point seven billion on Cruel Side. That is the saddest. Yeah. But she's alive. She's alive in her peak. In her prime. Not her peak. I don't say peak, but in her like, you know. Adonis, thirty nine million. Yeah. Unreal, dude.

Still more than the Beatles. Yeah. Eagles. Thirty six. Wow. Wow. Yeah, man. That's that's how I mean, talk about that. Yeah, man. That's, that's how, I mean, talk about that. That was, man, I wish I had looked up some of the numbers. That is, uh, one of the- Hypnotallica just for the sake. Just for the sake.

Just for the sake of it. 26 million. That's a, might be one, it could be a highlight of the, uh, podcast. All the, oh, the people. Oh man, you know, Aaron, Aaron doesn't get shut down much. Yeah, too bad. I make the clips. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this is for the dude that watching the whole thing. But I mean, getting, you know, oh, yeah, that is something. And he got at the peak of his career, he got drafted into the

army and went and had to serve. And then he stopped to make a bunch of movies for a while Yeah, again, that's the point see you keep talking about who he is a renaissance I'm just talking about how amazing that like like Taylor Swift gets drafted now and has to fought in Iraq And she goes where was that she took some time off. I was in Afghanistan And she was in Ramadi The the numbers though really were shocking to see that I mean that was because my argument is I agree with you that people are not like put some Elvis on but when you see That 48 million people a month are listening

That's Ed Sheeran's at 90 million Drake's at 73 million my suspicion is people a month are listening. That's at 90 million. Drake's at 73 million. My suspicion is suspicious mind. Yeah. I called in a trap. Is it these are fake numbers? No, I think a lot of this is skewed to uh to Christmas. The most one is not

Christmas. A billion of it is Christmas. It's not Christmas. You know how much a billion is? It Seymour and see what else he has. Chill House Rock. Can you do the Seymour and see what other songs he has? Chill House Rock is a hit. Where do you mean Seymour? Under number five there.

Oh, yeah. Suspicious Minds and then the rest of it is all Santa Claus is back in town. This is your musical hero. I'll be home for Christmas. His top 10 songs. They all, all of them. You know who never did a Christmas album? Led Zeppelin. Yeah, well. Yeah, they were.

A billion listeners to Not Be Christmas. He's got, there's three Christmas, Joe House Rock, isn't the one you just made fun of? Yeah. So that one, and then Burning Love and Can't Help Falling in Love, that's two billion. I wonder where Hound Dog. Hound Dog's the one he made fun of. Yeah. So that one and then Burning Love and Can't Help Fallin' in Love, that's two billion. I wonder where Hound Dog is. Hound Dog is the one he made fun of. Hound Dog. Oh, Hound Dog. Hound Dog is the one I was making fun of. Yeah. That's got a rank

up there though. That's up there. We'll wait until Christmas season dies down for all these numbers to correct. Oh, let's see about... Man, hey, man, put on A Little Town of Bethlehem by Elvis. Let's rock out for a bit. Well, maybe. Absurd. That might be a good song. Have you ever heard it though? Yeah, I've heard the Christmas song.

By Elvis. Yeah, no, I haven't heard a guy who's not a good singer sing it. But I've heard versions of it. That's ridiculous. Your argument gets worse and worse as it goes along. Well, he's like, now he's not a good singer? I'm getting destroyed. He's digging in. He's got to, he's digging in. He's Well, he's not a good singer. He destroyed.

He's got, he's digging in. He's got, he's just waiting. Don't even dislike Elvis. I just decided if he's going to pull the grenade and just blow him. So he's trying to get us in far enough. He blows us all up. Well, how about this? Let's look. Oh,

it's a, it's, It's like dang near opera. Fun stuff. I'm starting to question if you even have spoons under the couch at home. That's what I'm starting to question. Yeah. Think he sold them? Yeah, I don't know.

I'm starting to question the whole Weber royalty is unraveling here. You turned on me, you're an ally with me. I know until you started making fun of the way Elvis sang. It's just the way he sings hasn't aged that well. It sounds a little hokey, sounds a little funny to me now. That vibrato and the hey, it sounds like, what are you doing? You know, dial it back a bit.

Yeah, not a lot of people got it. There's a lot of... Ha ha ha ha ha Well, first of all, there's a lot of parallels with Elvis and Nate. Okay. Uh this is the root of the frustration. He goes, uh let him let him talk. Let him talk. Uh Elvis had an eating disorder. Aaron's gonna leave early. Elvis had an eating disorder. Oh my god. You know, he had it the other way. That's our eating disorder was the other way.

Alright, I'm back. He gained a lot of weight at the peak of his career. He had a soda machine in his house. And so I don't have that, but I'm working on getting a soda machine in the house. With different flavors? Yeah. machine in his house. And so I don't have that, but I'm working on getting a soda machine in the house. With different flavors? Yeah. That's amazing. Think about a fountain drink. Yeah. Get that good Sonic Ice and have it. That's the dream if I get that. He said he could destroy eight deluxe cheeseburgers, two

bacon-less tomato sandwiches, and three milkshakes in one sitting. What would he eat with peanut butter? He put peanut butter on something weird? Peanut butter and bananas. Yeah. He throws some bacon on there too. Yeah. They have Elvis sandwiches at some place. He ate meatloaf tomatoes and mashed potatoes for two straight years. I sent you a video. I did an Elvis impersonation thing one time. Oh man. It's getting better and better. Hold on. Hold on. Let me download that. All right. So. There's a lot of text I don't want displayed on the podcast. Just a heads up. Yeah. All right. Wait, this is you? Yeah. That's Dusty. Yeah, watch this. You got to. Was this when you were drinking? Yeah. watch this. You gotta, you gotta.

Was this when you were drinking? Yeah, oh yeah. Oh yeah. Look at that. It's a terrible video, but it's a- Wait, is this Halloween or are you just hanging out? No, I did a- Go back to that one.

Elvis karaoke. I was hosting a- Yeah, I had put on a lot of weight. I can't even imagine this being you. Yeah. Yeah. I was, I had put on a lot of weight. I can't even imagine this being you. I did a roll. I did roller derby, karaoke or something. You were the, yeah, it's a good talk of the town. Yeah.

It was a hot life of the party. Yeah. It was a hot video. Yeah. Yeah. It's my favorite. Yeah. The hot video.

It was called Elvis lives. The hot video. Elvis lives. WMV. Oh, that's great. I'm sorry. I made fun of his voice. I didn't know you used to perform. Yeah. Everything you do and then you look back at that and then look at that senior picture.

Yeah. And you're like, well, how does... You're changing your... Many faces. You change your look the whole time. Many faces. Yeah. Yeah.

Elvis was really in... He wanted to be a cop. So he had all these guns. He had all these honorary badges and he would put a light on his car, like a police car, and he would see people speeding and he would chase them in his car, pull them over, tell them to slow down, then sign an autograph for it and hand it to them. Wow. Yeah, I love that.

Yeah. He had an entourage of people. Do you know that woman? Nah. That's it. Yeah. It looks like the woman that your dad met. Fontainebleau?

Yeah. She's the other woman. You should not make fun of the rock shirt anymore, Dusty. Well, that was a costar. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. That's my friend, Mark. I do know Mark. Yeah. How tall were you then? Mark's tall guy. OK, because that woman was taller than you.

I haven't grown since. Yeah. You just get taller when you lose weight. Elvis had an entourage of friends and family that worked for him and they called themselves the Memphis Mafia. Yeah. So what would you, would you, the Nate Land nerds? I was trying to think. The Nate Land nerds. We went to, yeah, we went to Graceland. It's awesome. Yeah. Yeah.

He had one guy, one of his entourage guys, they called him Hamburger James, because his job was to go out and get him hamburgers at 3 a.m. That was his long job. Oh wow. It was just a guy that, he stole some stuff from Elvis,

and they found out about it And then I think they were they weren't at home They were somewhere else and they found out he was trying to get on a plane to fly back to Memphis They went to the airport Elvis went in with one of his badges made him stop the plane. He went on the plane drug the guy off and He told him he said they said they both started crying. He's like if you needed money Why didn't you just tell me? Because we're a family.

Yeah. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. So that's what you think of Elvis. Yeah. That airport security is a little lack. Yeah.

It's pre-9-11. Yeah. It's pre a lot of stuff. He had a limo driver. And he said, do you own this limo or do you work for someone else? He said, I work for someone else. He said, well, well not anymore and he bought the limo and gave it to the driver as a tip. Wow. Wow. So that's very nice. And then that limo driver probably ruined that business. He goes uh yeah he's like so you'll be my client? He goes no no, I got a driver. But go start your own business. He's like, why didn't I have a good thing going right here?

He goes, insurance, insurance benefits? There's no insurance. And you're going to have to pay taxes on this. You want to get your title right with this. You're going to have to pay taxes. Third day on the job Elvis. He goes, I would have never picked you up if I knew you were going to ruin my life like this. But it is crazy to think he could still be alive. He's been different with 50 years and he's 90.

There is a preacher out there that they say is Elvis. Yeah, that guy mentioned him. I'll just comment. Yeah, I remember like an unsolved mystery. Bob Joyce. Yeah. Bob Joyce. Yeah. I remember, uh, an unsolved mystery that was, uh, uh, yeah, that's him.

Yeah. And you hear those guys already way better than Elvis. Yeah. Listen to his voice. I want to hear him sing. I mean, he sounds a little bit like. Yeah. Yeah.

That's him. Yeah, it's I would. I remember watching like it was either Unsolved Mysteries or it was like it was like one of those main shows Right, but I remember old enough that they're watching and they were really doing it like is he alive and you know, it's like almost like Geraldo and he did the opening of What? Oh, yeah Al Capone's vault. Yeah Al Capone's vault and so it's like that kind of stuff And they were think he faked his own death. death oh and it was I mean it was on the main main new channels why did he did that he just got to it's like somebody thought to buck fake his own death so they got

anybody fixer because they're just so big mm-hmm that you just assume trying to get out of it you know yeah and they're so young and they can't be you know you're like it was a theory on it was a movie called coffee and cigarettes, old movie. And they said that Aaron, or Elvis had a twin brother named Aaron. Now maybe it was something else, maybe Aaron's his middle name, but anyway, but it's allegedly his brother died. Yeah, still died when he was, you know, born.

But they say that he didn't die, this theory, and that once Elvis became too famous, he didn't want it anymore. So he passed it over to his brother. His brother was Elvis. And then that's the brother who couldn't handle the fame. And he's the one that got all fat and out of control. You know, yeah, it's a fun thing. Yeah, it's fun. That's fun.

That's fun. Yeah. I mean, imagine being that you're I mean, you know, can you imagine showing your badge and stopping FAA traffic? They go, what's going on? You go, Elvis is here and he wants to get his buddy on and they're crying. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Like it was just a different world. But height of celebrity, probably the pilot wanted to meet Elvis, probably. Oh, the president wanted to meet Elvis. Like anybody that would ever get in trouble. Richard Nixon met him at the White House. He brought him a gun. Oh yeah. They said, I don't know how he got by a secret service. He gave Nixon a gun as a gift.

They go, Oh, no, I got best. He gave Nixon a gun as a gift. Whoa. Yeah. White house. Yeah. I was, uh, you know, like hanging out with Larry the cable guy one time at this, in this little patio at a casino. And then they get the security guard came to kick us out because nobody was allowed to be out there.

And then Larry cable guy kind of like did the Larry the cable guy voice. And they were like, Oh, oh, hey, they got so excited. They started taking pictures with him. They were like, stay as long as you want. And that's, that's tiny compared to Elvis. That's tiny compared to Elvis stopping a plane. Elvis the cable guy. Yeah.
