Starting point is 00:04:02 It makes me laugh and puts me into a relaxed frame of mind before I start the day operating on sick patients. Once during an especially complicated surgery when the room was very tense and we were under extreme stress, I just yelled, penguin, to everyone's surprise. I proceeded to tell the OR team the story and had them play the clip on the OR monitors, and within minutes, everyone began chuckling. The room became noticeably less tense and I'm grateful to report that patient did very very well thanks again for the unbelievable
Starting point is 00:04:32 work you guys are doing anytime you come up to Columbus in the future I'd love to host you in the shoe on the field for an OSU Big Ten football game wow I tell you what a guy that's doing that kind of surgery he's got tickets on the field yeah I mean that's that's a guy you want in your life you know what if we he said sadly the patient did not make but we were so much more relaxed i was hoping to introduce you guys to the patient but obviously yeah with the chaos that was going on we were we got real sloppy after that and uh it was a real problem. Pinewood. That's unbelievable. We just did the episode you just watched about clutch performances.
Starting point is 00:05:12 That's a clutch performance right there. Doing something like that, man. The amount of pressure that takes to just be, you know, you got to do hours and hours of it. You want to be someone's first guy. You think they ever say that? Right before you go under, they go, you're my first time're my first time my first surgery they just whisper it to you right the last thing you hear was last thing you heard i've never done this before i remember i told i signed an autograph once and i told the

S-O-G-O-R-B. Soar S-O-G-O-R-B. Is that a real name? Soar S-O-G-O-R-B? You think that is his real name? Poor guy. Soar? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Soar S-O-G-O-R-B. I hope it is his name. Oh, man. Soar. Get in here. Do you have to say the last name or you just go Soar and he goes here? I don't think you need to be any more specific. Soar.
Starting point is 00:06:28 He just sits there, and the teacher's like, Which one? Sigorb. Oh. I thought it was the other Soar. I play your podcast while working, illustrating on my computer, sometimes I spend large amounts of time without saving my progress because I forget to do so, and then my computer crashes and I lose all my work.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Now I click save every time I hear Nate say unbelievable. Or every time he roasts bland bread. I haven't lost a single piece of work ever since. That's got to be frustrating. I mean, everybody knows not saving something. Golly. All the time. When I've written out shows like,
Starting point is 00:07:04 Which I will in my hat, Nate Bargetti show. From the Feld. I've, when I've written out shows like, which are William, a hat neighbor gets a show from the field. We sent a bunch of these hats to Nigeria. Isn't that where they send that? They don't go good. President McCain hats. Atlanta Falcons, Superbowl. Like when they had none,
Starting point is 00:07:20 they lost to the Patriots. They, but yeah, you type something out. I mean, it's a whole, you're just in the groove of like doing it. And then they lost to the Patriots. But yeah, you type something out. I mean, it's a whole, you're just in the groove of doing it. And then it just goes away. And you're like, and then the next time is never as good. That's the gist of it.
Starting point is 00:07:36 And you're like, it's not that good. Yeah, well, I lost it. Miriam Gregory. I've been a fan of the podcast since day one. You think that's right? These names all feel made up. Miriam Gregory I've been a fan of the podcast since day one Is that, you think that's right? These names all feel made up Miriam Gregory It feels like almost we were Short on comments
Starting point is 00:07:53 And then And boat ramp went in And then just said Just took Sor Sigorm Miriam Gregory Oh, that's the worst name I've ever heard.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Oh, man. Oh, man. That's a real name. I don't think he's going to turn around by the way we Soar is different. Maybe Sore? Next one's Soda.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Seven. These are all just george costanza names that he came up with source oh it's beautiful it is yeah so i got a good idea what that guy looks like uh i feel like you can you can picture a sore you can picture him in your head you're like i feel like i've never i I've never, I don't know what they look like, but I think I could pick them. Oh, right. If you said there's 100 people standing in a crowd, one of them's named Sore, I'd be like, I feel pretty good. I could figure out who he is.
Starting point is 00:08:55 If you lined up Dr. Khan, Sore Sigour, and Miriam Gregory, I could tell you which one was Sore. I'll tell you that much. Would you... Is sore male or female? Sore feels like... It's gender neutral, man. If it's Sore,
Starting point is 00:09:11 Sore would be a lovely lady. Huh? What? You know, you don't think Sore's a... These are all... I don't know. These names are... These are our fans, Aaron, that you're laughing at.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Sorry. That's the worst thing I've ever heard. Well, it's not if it's Sorey Segur. Sorey Segur. Sorey Segur. Like a Ukrainian ballet dancer or something. Well, they could be big fans. Sorey Segur doesn't sound as bad. That's what I'm saying. That sounds like a ballet dancer or something. Well, they could be big fans. Sorey Sigorb doesn't sound as bad.
Starting point is 00:09:47 That's what I'm saying. That sounds like a ballet dancer from Eastern Europe. Sorey. Sorey Sigorb. That actually is a beautiful name now. And I'm going to name my next daughter that. We don't have another daughter. Sorey Bargetzi?
Starting point is 00:10:01 Yeah, Sorey Bargetzi. I feel like if I find some little girl sitting out on the side of the daughter sorey bargetzi yeah sorey bargetzi i feel like i find some little girl sitting out now on the side of the road and i she lives with us i feel like that's how you get a sorey in your family you don't they're not born into that family you find them and they and they're and they're put with that family uh miriam gregory have we read this one? I've been a fan of the podcast since day one I just want to say thank you for everything you've taught me since hearing all of your bombing stories and insults
Starting point is 00:10:32 I've been a lot better at taking myself less seriously I recently had the chance to sing on TV for the first time and I've never been more confident I felt like it would be okay to look stupid and it would be a good story until after but it went great, so thank you. Congratulations, Nate, Aaron, and Worried Whistle.
Starting point is 00:10:49 I love you all. We need to hear her. We need to get a clip of that. Yeah. Yeah. See it on TV? I'd love to see that. What is she saying?
Starting point is 00:10:59 I don't know. It's crazy. Jonathan Redd. That's a normal one. Is that more up your alley? You can't handle the taste of the fans we have around the world? You need an Alabama, Jonathan Redd, Johnny Redd. Johnny Redd.
Starting point is 00:11:13 Does that make you feel better, Aaron? You feel like home? You and Johnny Redd went boat fishing. It does sound like we try to fix the problem. I'm just kidding. It's Brian. It's like these names are getting a little too They might catch on to me After the
Starting point is 00:11:27 Miriam Gregor This podcast seems like The elaborate plan of two best friends To get their other friend to eat An excessive amount of donuts And when they finally do They will end the podcast They have been talking about it
Starting point is 00:11:41 Since episode one or two And I'm sure they thought Aaron would have done it by now. I love the show. It's the best part of my week. Goodbye, folks. Johnny Redd. I've done it, just not on the show.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Johnny Redd. He does it regularly. We can't get him on. It's like Bigfoot. Can't really catch him on tape. There's a lot of fuzzy images. We put up trail cams. As he goes and eats it in the woods.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Shame. We can't figure out why, but the trail cams could never get him. We don't know why, but it never can. All we know is two boxes go in and no boxes come out. We think he's littering as well. Yeah, we're going to do it. That's going to be a special one. We got to find the right time to do it.
Starting point is 00:12:23 I don't think, like you said, I don't think we can eat on air. I don't think that's... I don't know if there's ever going to be a right time to do it. Like I said, I don't think we can eat on air. I don't know if there's ever going to be a right time for me personally. I think we film it, and then we filmed it, and then we put it out. I don't think there's ever a wrong time for you personally to do that. I had Krispy Kreme this past week. I have it a lot. I'm starting to feel it now, though. I can feel like my blood's getting thicker.
Starting point is 00:12:47 You feel that? It's like maple syrup. Yeah, like you just, like I said, I eat so bad, you're like, I feel like my blood's not moving as good as it should be. And I don't think I should feel that. Yeah. I think about it. I don't feel it slowing down.
Starting point is 00:13:00 The day after, though, it didn't stop me, but I remember going, I got to stop this. This is, my arm feels weird. Grant Weldon. I teach fifth graders and I have to switch classes because the teacher rotates
Starting point is 00:13:13 now instead of students rotating. Oh wow. So this teaches students stay in the room and the teachers move. Yeah. Is that because of COVID?
Starting point is 00:13:22 Mm-hmm. When I go into the class i enter saying hello folks and they say hello mr weldon it's so sweet and they don't know why i do it but i love it every time that's cool that's cool man good for you good for you that's so so they're just switching moving around almost spreading covid around trying to give it to all the kids. They don't. One teacher has it. We don't tell them which one, and they see if they can guess. Mike Pugh. Hello, folks.
Starting point is 00:13:50 When my wife and I married in 1978, there was a still law on the books in Michigan that the clerk had to ask, are you an idiot? Thinking we were Bargetti-level comedians, we both said, I'm not, but this one is, while pointing our fingers at each other. Of course, the clerk did not crack a smile. comedians we both said i'm not but this one is while pointing our fingers at each other of course the clerk did not crack a smile i can only assume she had heard that one she had heard that one before keep up the great work also we love to see you guys live we just bought our son and his wife
Starting point is 00:14:14 a ticket to the la drive-in show mike pew will be at the drive-in show he was at the drive oh he was oh he was at the drive because we're because we're recording this. Hope you enjoyed it. He goes, we left early. Are you an idiot? I'm not against that. Crazy law in Michigan. I mean, an idiot is technically a mentally challenged person that maybe shouldn't be getting married. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:42 I'm not against it. Yeah. I asked both of y'all before we did this podcast, are y'all idiots? And I said, because I am. And I don't need more than me. That's not a, you know, not a, not a, just ask the person you're about to marry. Hey, just heads up real quick. Are you an idiot by any chance?
Starting point is 00:15:02 I don't think it's on the books anymore because I think people feel like mentally challenged people should be able to get married if they are. Are you stupid? Little more, you know, publicly acceptable. Yeah. Nick Herc. Hey, guys, speaking of what would you do moments? I have a Starbucks related story. I was wondering what you do in my place.
Starting point is 00:15:21 I was in line at a Starbucks and a lady in front of me was rifling. Right. Yeah. wondering what'd you do in my place i was in line at a starbucks and the lady in front of me was rifling right yeah was rifling through her huge cluttered purse to get out of her wallet as she pulled out her wallet i also took mine out of my pocket and when i did about three dollars and quarters also fell out of my pocket the lady in front of me immediately went oh gosh sorry and started picking up all the change thinking she had dropped it she was so confidently picking it up and putting it in her purse that I didn't know what to do, so I just didn't say anything and let her keep it. Anyway, Ron, it reminded me of something you guys would talk about. Love the podcast. Thanks for all of it.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Ooh, man. We need to get some better stuff to talk about. He's like, this is right up their alley. I mean, he goes, this would be one of the top episodes. I do like talking about this stuff though and i would let her have it i would let her yeah oh yeah it would be the it matter the situation have you seen this happen you nodded like you've seen this no i'm just saying i would i mean it's a lot of change uh he's at the age where you have change on you quite a bit some hard candy in my
Starting point is 00:16:21 pocket uh i when she, oh gosh, sorry, I started picking up all the change, I would, if once she, if she said something, if she didn't say anything, I would have just picked it up. But if she said something like that, I would have probably just been like, just let her have it. If it gets too, too many people start paying attention, I mean, this is a big commotion.
Starting point is 00:16:39 So then people start looking. I probably would have done what he did and just been like, it's a, you know, it's over. That's one of those things that's easy to be like, oh, I would have said this, but in the moment, you just think, this is not worth.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Is it worth? It's how quick do you think, I will, I a lot of times think about what would happen. Like, if I say it's mine and that she disagrees, now I want an argument
Starting point is 00:17:02 over change on the floor. Right. And so, do I want to be in that argument? The only reason I feel like you should do it is to keep her from feeling awkward and scrambling to pick up all this. Right. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:17:12 That was on me. Yeah, well, you help her. But she dropped the purse. Put her purse together. She put it where I took mine out. He dropped the coins. I would have done exactly what this guy did. Oh, he dropped it.
Starting point is 00:17:26 He goes, no, no, that's fine. Yeah, $3.25 is a lot. $12. Yeah. And everybody loves to have quarters. Yeah, quarters are, that's about the only change you want. Yeah. I'll tell you one time, I was driving down the road,
Starting point is 00:17:44 and there was a homeless guy and i had all this change and i so he's going up asking for money and i go i don't have any bills and i got all this do you want all this change and he's like uh yeah sure i give him this big handful of change and he goes thanks then i watch him just walk away he takes about 10 steps and he just throws all the chains wow yeah i love it yeah that's pretty good he didn't want that change no well how much do you think you gave him probably three dollars worth in quarters but but not in quarters no not in court he would have kept the quarters for sure you kept the quarters that's right yeah nrs automotive this is a company
Starting point is 00:18:24 nrs automotive since the podcast is a clean podcast does it automatically rule out the possibility of having some of your potty mouth comic friends as guests for example big j it does not rule it out uh big j was here i i don't necessarily want to do a zoom so that's why you know it's kind of got to be people here. But if Jay comes to town, Jay could probably stay with us. And if he stayed with us, I'd have him on the podcast. I would tell him. It's like, hey, we try to be clean. If he's not, I would just beep stuff out.
Starting point is 00:18:54 It's honestly what I would do. But Big Jay's done TV. It's close, though. Big Jay would be tough. I know Big Jay's done some late night shows, and it's hard. But Big J's so funny. We're talking about random things. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:09 But there's something that's even harder to keep guys like that clean, is when they talk, you know, especially because the bonfire, which is him and Soder, so good. And they're just talking. So talking like this is where it's hard to control. I always think if you're trying to stop cursing, or if you say a lot of people in regular life could curse too, they feel they curse too much in just regular life.
Starting point is 00:19:33 It's start weaning it out in some regular conversations. Just think, I'm going to go to this house and I'm not going to curse. And that way you can learn to hold it back. And that's how you practice it. And so, you know, but yeah, I would have Jay on. Obviously, I mean, we'd be thrilled. Get Laura on, you know. Get rid of, you know, who.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Hello, welcome to Nate Land. This is Big Jay Oakerson and Laura Bargesa. Would anyone notice if you didn't say that? Would they? I don't know. Who's Jay? Who's Laura? Both offensive.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Ben Kissam. Hi, guys. Question for an aspiring comic in Denver. I haven't done stand-up since March. I was about a year in at the time, starting to find my voice on stage. Cases are rising here again. I just heard from a public official they don't really anticipate the city being open again until next June. If you were faced with this as a newer comic, how would you handle it? Would you pursue something else like a podcast or YouTube videos
Starting point is 00:20:33 or should I just move to the South where coronavirus isn't real in hopes of getting thanks for all that you guys do. I would say, you know, a year in, here's what I will, honestly, my brutal opinion, you're not finding your voice. That's just my honesty
Starting point is 00:20:59 with being a year in. You could think you're finding some voice, but I promise you're not. It's going to change. And then you're going to be finding some voice, but I promise you're not. It's going to change. And then you're going to be in five years and be like, that was insane. But I think it's good to think you find your voice. It's good to go through all this.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Yeah, during this time, it's tough. You could start a podcast. You could do some YouTube stuff. There's other different ways you could try to be creative. That's definitely not a bad thing to go do. You can try to go to different places and move. You got a great scene in Denver, though.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Honestly, I'd probably wait it out, unless you wanted to move. I mean, just go down and try to stay somewhere if you want to go try to get up. But I mean, you got a great scene in Denver, man. Denver's a hot spot to be for comedy. I don't think anybody's getting up, so I don't think you're missing anything. I mean, they're doing some social distance shows at places. But you're competing also with so many people that have been doing it longer, and no one's getting on stage.
Starting point is 00:21:55 So your competition is, you know, guys, I've done it for 17 years. You will be trying to get on the same show I'm probably trying to get on. We're all trying to get on these shows. So I don't know if i i don't know if i'd make a big move i i think it's not a bad to do you know i know guys are doing zoom shows or make some videos try to do some stuff creative right stuff it stinks dude this is just a terrible time uh so i wouldn't do anything that's going to be hard to walk back also don't know if anywhere is reliably 100 going to stay open all
Starting point is 00:22:25 the time yeah i mean you went to atlanta like that stuff's going to close i mean everything's popping up and closing you want to move and then it's all going to close it's like week by week here man it go visit any minute go visit the city if you uh if you want to but that that's the only thing i wouldn't make any sudden sudden big moves because of that but good luck to you and don't give up on it don't quit this is this is one of the times that it's you're gonna think you know this would be a perfect excuse so you can tell everybody i tried it i just didn't hold out everybody's having to hold out so you hold out and just keep writing keep trying to come up with stuff and then when you're
Starting point is 00:23:01 ready just hit the ground running and never stop. John Hance. Hello, folks. I've been playing the YouTube version of the show in the background on our living room TV the past few weeks. My wife doesn't really pay much attention, but she catches the highlights because she loves Nate and hears me laughing all the time. After a couple days, I thought it'd be funny to convince her that Brandon is actually Nate's dad. I mean, I already love this. She is the type that can fall for anything if I say it with a straight face.
Starting point is 00:23:30 She's a regular Mick Movicki. I'm missing the beach. She says, oh, yeah, I can totally see that. They don't look much alike, but you can just tell he's Nate's dad by the way he acts. I couldn't explain Aaron's relation, so he's difficult. He's officially just your neighbor who's quarantined And has nothing else to do But drop by and talk on the podcast I don't know how long
Starting point is 00:23:49 I can keep this joke going But I'm literally dying Every time I start the show And I would bet good money You guys could read this comment on the show And say my full name And she still wouldn't catch on Please give it a shot
Starting point is 00:24:01 And let's see how long I can make my wife think Brayden is Nate's dad Love the show Highlight of my week John Hance Let's see how long I can make my wife think Brayden is Nate's dad. Love the show. Highlight of my week. John Hance. See if she heard that one.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Hello, folks. John Hance here. John Hance here. That sounds like a good sports reporter name. John Hance. John Hance. Hello, folks. John Hance here. It's like Phil Nance.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Yeah. Maybe that's why I think that. Because it's like Phil Nance. That's his name? It's Phil Nance, right? Yep. No, it's not Phil Nance. Yep. Maybe that's why I think that. Because it's like Phil Nance. That's his name? It's Phil Nance, right? Yep. No, it's not Phil Nance. Jim Nance.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Jim Nance. Phil Nance. That sounds like one of the... Phil Nance. What's up with breakfast is whistling. Oh, that's a brutal one. So, it's... All right. So it's slash Nate. All right, we're doing it.
Starting point is 00:24:51 So this is the, that was a good, we got good comments. I know people probably talk about the last week's show, but. I thought of another clutch performance. Yeah. Paulo nails two home runs for that little boy in the hospital. And then what about the next one? You had to catch one in his hat. I mean.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Even more clutch. I mean, how crazy is that? Yeah. Where do you get? I mean, home run hitter. One's one thing. Where do you get two from? It's a great, one of my favorite Seinfeld moments is that.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Yeah, it's so funny. Is Kramer seinfeld moments is that so funny is kramer sitting in there with that kid can i get that some orange juice he goes after the first hit he drinks this is by the way let it be known kramer's a stranger to this kid and this kid has let his they let the i mean a stranger sitting there in alone at the hospital with their child as they watch the Yankee game. And the kid was in, he controlled the whole room. It's unbelievable. I love it when Kramer said, I need you to do something for me, though.
Starting point is 00:25:53 And he's like, I know. Get out of this bed and walk someday. He's like, yeah, yeah, but I really need that car. Yeah, that'd be great. But weather is changing. Temperatures are changing. It's cold here today in nashville last week was good this week's cold uh we have no front door uh it's if you i explained that last week if you
Starting point is 00:26:15 listen to it why our front door is gone that's still very funny to me to think they knocked on the door just for someone to knock on your door and then ask for the door is one of the wildest things I've ever been asked. You know, anything could have asked for anything. If you told me what you want me to take, I could have almost said anything. Just don't take the door, obviously, because we need the door.
Starting point is 00:26:41 And that's what they came for. So weather's changing, and we wanted to do an episode on weather. You guys want to see if we can, you know, can these guys talk about weather for an hour and a half? I don't know. Maybe. I think so. We talk about a lot of dumb stuff. Right.
Starting point is 00:26:58 For a long time. That's the point of all this. That's why we like coming up with these weird things, because it makes it, you know, you need stuff to go off of. You just need to be neat. And we've got a weatherman on the podcast. I mean, so that helps. You did it. I did it once in college.
Starting point is 00:27:16 You did it professionally. That's all it takes. That's more than that. Was it professionally? The way Miriam sang on TV. She said I sang on TV. You posted that video of Bates doing it in college. But I worked at a TV station.
Starting point is 00:27:29 Why did you do it? Were you filling in? No, it was a class we took. It was like a broadcasting class. So that wasn't on TV? No, I don't think that was on TV. Oh. That guy takes the thunder out of it.
Starting point is 00:27:42 I've got some clips of me doing the news in college that I could bring in Yeah But I could show you Yeah I think the fans are dying for it I Watching George's home videos Is he trying to change you? What are you like 8? watching George's home videos they're just trying to change you
Starting point is 00:28:06 what are you like eight you were were they on TV or they were just they were on TV the college TV yeah
Starting point is 00:28:15 well I've been in Murfreesboro like throughout yeah so everybody saw it at home yeah did your family see it they didn't live in
Starting point is 00:28:22 Murfreesboro so they couldn't see it but I recorded it and that's why I have it now on VHS that's like your what was the tv thing that y'all you did y'all both to it the circle network circle network oh it's so good how are you so were you on it too yeah so he hosted one of them uh so and uh all right Take it easy. He goes, yeah, I created it. Oh, okay. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:28:47 So they did some stand-up on TV shows. TV taping. Did it at Zany's. Yeah. All real done taping cameras. I mean, you know, how would I watch it? What would you tell people? Go to channel 4.5.
Starting point is 00:29:01 But you got to have... That's the but. That's it. Go to channel 4.5. You're like, that seems uh, that's the, but that's a go to channel 4.5. You're like, that seems weird. Never heard of that being called a channel, but you gotta have an antenna.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Oh, you gotta get your TV remote and switch the input settings to, uh, well, I guess it depends on how your settings are usually to TV antenna and then turn to channel 4.5 and then look up when it airs. That's all. It's not too many hoops. That's locally though.
Starting point is 00:29:31 If you're in Nashville and you want to watch them on the Circle Network, get rid of your cable. Here's the first thing I need you to do. Throw your DirecTV out in the yard switch to TV
Starting point is 00:29:47 you see it real scrambly you're like well that's not good yeah hang on go to you know where 4 you know where channel 4
Starting point is 00:29:54 and channel 5 is I need you to go right in the middle of that you gotta have an antenna though oh yeah you gotta have an antenna yeah well it wasn't
Starting point is 00:30:02 it didn't air in Nashville for a while yeah at first I made my television debut didn't know about it couldn't watch it in the city that's based in for a grand old opry channel that's what the network is oh so it's like so there's people that just know how to get to this channel there's like an audience that watches this channel because it's the grand old opry channel but it's just very funny it wasn't on in nashville originally it was just an awkward kind of rollout because it's a brand new station yeah so it was weird now it's if you go most places around the southeast and
Starting point is 00:30:34 even some of the midwest it's on you'll see it on the cable listing yeah but at the time it was like i couldn't tell i made my tv debut i couldn't watch it anymore. Did anybody text you that saw it randomly? One person told me, but no, I didn't get paid that. I had one thing in Boston on Nesson, New England Sports Network, and they did a comedy show. We just did jokes about sports. It was shot in Boston. Kid and play. Maybe kid? I don't know. It was shot in Boston. Kid and Play.
Starting point is 00:31:05 What's, maybe Kid? Or, I don't know. Jason? Huh? Jason Kid? Who's the comic? No, Kid, you know. Is it Kid and Play?
Starting point is 00:31:14 Kid Cudi. No, from the movie in the 80s. Yeah, Kid and Play. Kid and Play. And one's a comedian. I didn't know that. Yeah. I think the...
Starting point is 00:31:24 The one with the big high top? Yeah, the lighter skin one. Are you allowed to say that. I didn't know that. Yeah. I think the one with the big high top. Yeah. The lighter skin. Are you allowed to say that? I don't know. But the Blackman County. It's the. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:35 So, yeah. Who's. Is he. That's kid. Anyway. So he wasn't even there. I don't know what I'm talking about. No.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Yes. Yeah. He. He's a comedian what I'm talking about. No. He's a comedian. And he went on. I had to follow him. And he had a rough go at it. Let me tell you that.
Starting point is 00:31:57 I don't think he's much of a comedian. And so he was pretty bad. He was just jumping around. It was like they told him, do stuff on sports. And he's like, every joke's kind of just got sports attached to it a little bit. You know? I was flying the other day. They had a sports game on TV.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Anyway, can you believe they're selling the peanuts and the thing? We were watching the sports. Everybody had the playoffs wrong. Can you, what is up with these flight attendants? You know? This girl comes by, peanuts, and then some guy was watching football towards the front and then like that's the only way it's good that's the only way he's including sports uh because the other day my wife's cheating on me she i went we were watching baseball it doesn't matter and the other day i go home and my kid, who doesn't like sports,
Starting point is 00:32:45 but he just keeps saying, and they're like, I don't know if these are sports-related jokes. They're not really based in sports stuff, right? And he's like, kind of. I've done that. He has some themed stand-up shows here in town. Like, do all Christmas jokes. So you're like, anyway, last christmas i was at mcdonald
Starting point is 00:33:05 and i went to the drive-thru and do your big had nothing to do with christmas i i you can i do love because i do it too i always love thing that comics do is if if you got a seasonal joke how to get it back around and uh like because you can do it like i mean it's in peak form when you're you got some great christmas joke and you're like christmas season's coming you have about probably november to february that you could say christmas just happened or christmas season's coming where it's the joke that seems timely and then those other months you gotta like you know what's your favorite holiday mine christmas and then you gotta find a new way to do it i love seeing that i worked with a comic who i worked with during the summer and every show he opened up with a joke about how hot it was
Starting point is 00:33:57 and then i worked with him several months later the winter and i was like i'm looking forward how is he good yeah he goes man it's cold out remember how hot it was in the summer did i tell the the ponytail thing yeah i love that i've told it on this i've i think so i don't know if on the podcast yeah i'll tell if i've told I'm sorry. My favorite of that kind of moment was the, when I was first starting, I started, I moved to Chicago first. And when I would come home, I would then do, I never did comedy before here, like I said,
Starting point is 00:34:37 but then when I came back, I would be the guy that came back from Chicago. I'm doing comedy in Chicago. And so we'd go to the bar car, which was this open mic. Every time I came back, I would go up and do those shows. So this one guy, sometimes I would, one time I came, when I came back in between Chicago and New York,
Starting point is 00:34:53 it might have been during that time, but I kind of just lived here for four months to save money to move to New York. And so, I'm back here, we're doing the bar car. This guy has a ponytail. He just did. We're open micers. So no one, everybody only really has maybe three to five minutes of material.
Starting point is 00:35:10 And so we're all doing our jokes and he, he would just do jokes on ponytails. That's all he did. He had a ponytail. I don't remember the jokes, but he's like talking about having a ponytail, what it's like having a ponytail, full five minutes of just ponytail material.
Starting point is 00:35:24 So the next week he shows up his ponytail's gone he has no ponytail he cut it off and so we're like what are you going to do all you've ever done is ponytail stuff and he was like offended that we asked he goes i have other stuff and we go okay so they brought him up he opens it first joke he does is not about the ponytail. It's just about nothing. It bombs hard. And then he goes, so I used to have a ponytail. And then just does all his ponytail stuff. And his ponytail's gone.
Starting point is 00:35:57 That was his best stuff. So he's like, I can't belt. I love that it was that quick. The first joke is about nothing. And he goes, all right, so I used to have a ponytail. And he just does this ponytail material, which it doesn't work. The other one, did I ever talk about this? I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:36:16 The happy birthday to Ru. Did I ever say that story? It's probably offensive. I don't know. It's not my joke. But when I was in New York, this comic, he used to run. We would run at Improv, a Broadway comedy club now. Dustin Chafin, who's about to have a, actually, has a Zoom special out that he's putting out actually now because this is coming out next week.
Starting point is 00:36:40 I think it's coming. Pre-sales was just last Fridayiday and so it's coming out uh now zoom comedy with dustin chafin go to his yeah so uh it's not that but it's yeah it's twitter and so uh i'll promote it to you next week but he uh i started with him look i'm the main first podcast right there uh he's got a podcast i'll leave you with this and so dustin is who uh i started with dustin was a huge part of my comedy career and helped me uh do it uh so he does uh i don't know if any of this is it all right but we're trying to find it online if you're looking but i'll i'll promote it next week. But he's a comic that I started with. And he is putting out a Zoom comedy of 2020.
Starting point is 00:37:29 It's a different way because it's the way we have to do it now. So anyway, so we'd run a show at midnight. And it was this edgy, uncensored show, which I always had to do and I never needed to be censored. So this other guy would run a show uptown and he would always just come and like if his show wasn't like doing good he'd like hey he'd like call me and i was just running the show i was helping dustin run the show and i remember he'd call me and be like hey uh can i bring i have like only three people show up for the show tonight i'm gonna bring them
Starting point is 00:38:02 down to your show and then can i get on stage? So he'd barter with me. Maybe a couple times you'd be like, okay. But Dustin's show was like a packed. It would be midnight, dude, and we would be sold out in this upstairs room. That was probably my favorite room in New York. It was just this box. I mean, when it was packed, dude, you would murder in there. It was so awesome.
Starting point is 00:38:26 And we'd all just be there. These are the stuff that I miss about New York. You'd be out there until 2 in the morning doing these shows. Just so much fun. A bunch of comics hanging out. Everybody kind of ends their night there after they do shows. And so he would always call me and be like, and we'd start being sold out. He's like, I got two people, and I'm going to bring them down. Can I get up? And you're like, I'm, and we just start being sold out. He's like, I got two people and I'm going to bring them down.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Can I get up? And you're like, I don't, I'm like, dude, we're sold out. I don't need, but he's just trying to get stage time. And I remember he always had to ride the train down with these people. These are just audience members that he's like, just come ride with me. I'll take you to another show. And they're, you know, it's almost like the quarter thing falling where you're just kind of like, all right, I guess I'm riding with this guy. And then you're just on the way down.
Starting point is 00:39:05 So anyway, so he had this joke and it's probably insulting. I don't, you know, it's, it's, it's a very hacky joke. So,
Starting point is 00:39:13 but he would say, uh, if you went and had your birthday party at a Chinese restaurant, how would they, you know, they sing it. Happy birthday to Rue. Happy birthday to Rue.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Like, that's the joke that they don't say. They say ours. he would start it he'd be like all right who's got a birthday in here one night we were not crap there's not that many people there he goes all right who's got a birthday in here and no one raises a he goes nobody has a birthday in here nobody and no one's raising their hand he goes you you have a birthday he goes my birthday was two weeks ago it was about you he's like my birthday's like seven months from now. He's like, nobody has a, and I mean, it's almost,
Starting point is 00:39:48 it's just like, everybody's like looking like, just do the joke, man. Like, and he's like, nobody has, there's some,
Starting point is 00:39:54 you know, some guy finally just goes, I mean, my cousin's birthday's next week. He's like, all right, all right. So if you took your cousin to have birthday at a chinese restaurant here's how
Starting point is 00:40:06 they would sing it happy birthday to rue happy birthday to happy birthday dear customer and then everybody's like okay and then he's like all right good night everybody and he leaves and so i just remember i remember thinking why i i don't want to ever do a joke where i have to have someone in the crowd go with it it sounds like he didn't even need that part of the no he doesn't at all hey you're gonna try his restaurant here's how they sing happy birthday yeah right yeah i mean you could yeah anything but he just does it you're like i mean the joke's already just disgustingly hack like it's not a good joke but it's like the idea that he has to bring someone in on it. And then someone's finally like, I mean, dude,
Starting point is 00:40:48 people could just tell like someone just say it's your birthday. This guy's not leaving. And he's trying to leave. There's a J, speaking of J, J had a story. Angel Salador. He was in Scarface. He's a comedian. And he would always do that where he'd have some girl about Angel Salazar.
Starting point is 00:41:11 And he would have, he would always talk to someone and be like, hey, big guy. Hey, big guy. He'd talk to, like, so he pointed at you and he's like, hey, big guy. You'd be like, hey, what's up? And so he does it and he always goes, hey, big guy. And he goes, hey, big guy. And no one's, the guy's not saying anything. He goes, big guy. And the guy's like looking around. always goes, hey, big guy. And he goes, hey, big guy. And the guy's not saying anything. He goes, big guy.
Starting point is 00:41:26 And the guy's looking around. He goes, hey, big guy. He's like, oh, you mean me? He goes, hey, big guy. He's like, I mean, I'm not that big of a guy. He's like my size. He's like, I'm not that big of a guy. I thought you'd be.
Starting point is 00:41:39 When you say big guy, it's usually someone bigger. But Angel never talks to him. He just goes, hey, big guy. And he finally has to go okay he goes you got a girlfriend he's like i don't because i don't have a girlfriend right now he goes you got a girlfriend he goes i don't i don't have a girlfriend right he goes hey big guy you got a girlfriend you guys like i don't i i get i got a girlfriend he goes that you go and then he said something about your girlfriend i'm uh sex with your girlfriend the joke is like that yeah it's just an insult but he's just he wouldn't let the
Starting point is 00:42:09 i mean just the the guy to go i don't the guy's talking more than he is i don't i'm not that big of a guy hey big guy hey big guy he goes i don't i'm not that you know you're talking about me hey big guy he just he's it's a guy that's done this joke 10 000 times and he's like a robot that just doesn't he just can't get out of it yeah everyone's big guy everyone's big guy big guy a big guy and it's like yeah it's like shut him off man uh the other one did someone get in that mode was uh who was the movie voice guy? Michael Winslow? No. Oh, Pablo Francisco. Pablo Francisco.
Starting point is 00:42:49 I mean, sadly, if you can watch a clip of that, you don't have to show the clip. I don't want to show it. But if anybody wants to look it up, they can. But he has major drug problems and had just lost it on stage. And so his thing, right right was always like hello i am movie phone and i mean this dude made a career i mean it is he's very talented obviously he can do a bunch of stuff but would just tour around sell out these places for a long time made tons of money but had major drug problems and he was at punchline sacramento i was there to oh the week after him oh really and
Starting point is 00:43:25 uh he uh was on stage in his video of it and he's just so whacked out on just so much stuff i mean the the opener has to go back up there and he keeps going hello i am no they want to hear it now and everybody he's like you got to go man you know you don't know what's good he's like hello he just keeps doing the same movie phone joke over that was the sad one but it's like crazy to be like you're just in this routine that that's what i'm always scared of being i'm gonna just be up there in starbucks and i went to iced coffee with milk and i'm just like in a corner just going iced coffee whipped cream whipped cream whipped cream whipped cream i just keep saying it over and over in some corner brian comes out as a hey nick you should probably leave the stage. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:06 No, no, no. They want to hear it. They want to hear it. I'm going to get myself out of this. I'm going to get myself out of this. Here we go. That's what we like. He still knew that he was kind of bombing while he was still trapped in that loop. It's kind of fascinating.
Starting point is 00:44:18 There's not a comic on earth that doesn't think the crowd's bad. I'll get them. Yeah. I'll get them. I mean, that's every comic. You go, hey, this crowd's bad, I'll get them. Yeah. I'll get them. I mean, that's every comic. You go, hey,
Starting point is 00:44:28 this crowd's like terrible, man. And you go, I mean, I'm sure they're terrible for y'all, but I'll get them. And then usually you go,
Starting point is 00:44:36 oh no, they're terrible. And then you go off and go, I know what you're thinking, but I promise they're terrible. And then you go,
Starting point is 00:44:43 I got them. And then usually one person gets them yeah and is like i thought they were great i thought they were great uh all right weather well okay well we wanted to get into it yeah we all love weather i think that's that's true yeah yeah i'm a big fan weather's fun four seasons daniel tossed joke that's a very funny one would you uh like all seasons because we skipped the bad ones that's why i live in a place that skips the bad bad ones yeah he doesn't say bad but we're uh clean pockets uh would you
Starting point is 00:45:17 guys be uh storm chasers i would do it in a heartbeat really i would do it in a heartbeat if anybody does it and they do it at a high level professional level and listening you let me know yeah and i'll come do it you wouldn't want a guy who just does it on his own just with no certifications maybe maybe that guy could be pretty fun if that guy is into it i don't i don't know if there's any certification for any of this oh there is oh there is so you have to go through the thing well i mean there's any certification for any of this. Oh, there is. Oh, there is? So you have to go through the thing. Well, I mean, there's nobody going to stop you. I used to watch a show.
Starting point is 00:45:47 I watched a movie about it. They were filming this... What was the show? Was it Storm Chaser's show? Twister? No. Yeah, yeah. It was a documentary.
Starting point is 00:45:57 I thought that was real. No, there was a TV show about storm chasing. And during it, it showed them how they all lived. They stayed in these hotels, and they'd get up every day and go chase tornadoes. And it was on Discovery. It was awesome. And during it, they were trying to film this 3D. They had a car that they're trying to basically get in a tornado
Starting point is 00:46:18 and then film this IMAX version of this tornado. And so one guy that was a part of the storm chasers was with them being like hey we're trying to shoot this as a movie can we go with you and so they made a car the guy had a car that was designed to like when the tornado is over it goes down to the ground it was almost like you could get no wind under it to lift it and uh the movies played it uh the Huntsville at the space center you'd see see it at a science museum or something like that. And I went and saw it. It was fun to watch it and then go, oh, this is the movie that they were trying to make.
Starting point is 00:46:52 And I watched the show. Okay. I love it. It's kind of like your jokes when you watch them be informed, like on the podcast, and then you get to go see the final thing. You get to go see the final thing, which is going to happen. It's like you're in on it. Like you were in on it. All right. So you can do it as a hobby you uh if you want get in contact the national weather service and they got some programs if you want to do this
Starting point is 00:47:11 profession they say it's important no most people don't make a lot of money uh average salary starting out eighteen thousand dollars okay um so many porn chasers support themselves with a second job or do it seasonally but um eighteen thousand dollars yeah and that's so you have to get certified i would i would love it i would you wouldn't want to go i mean see a real tornado man that just would be and like insane what do you do how what do you do you try to get inside of it or what do you what do you do i mean it's kind of what the title is is you chase the you're chasing it but but what's do you get all i think you're trying to you're you don't go away and now if it comes after you you're gonna move how close do you get to it you just follow
Starting point is 00:47:56 it i'm running at a certain distance yeah yeah they know how to get they get where they can really film it i mean do that the guys that are uh some are doing it, like, you know, the movie Twister, where they're trying to get something taken up in the, but I mean, there's people that are trying to, I think, get that close just to understand a tornado. But when you see them, it's always like, most cars going this way and then one car going towards it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:18 And they're trying to get near it. And so they see a tornado, they're trying to go to the tornado. Justin Smith, who I was with, who's with me on the one night only tour he lives in oklahoma and so we were there when the tornado came uh and i know i say tornado so i know because i say window and this colorado this colorado yellow that was the biggest colorado colorado yeah uh so but he so he tornado and so he goes tornado uh or tornado nader nader this nader came over uh so we went it was the big one that they had that like wrecked that town. And so I was there, I was at a comedy club there and Sidesplitters, I think, or I forget
Starting point is 00:49:12 they have there, but. Looney Bin? Oklahoma City? Looney Bin. Yeah. Looney Bin. So I was there and the day before they had a tourney to go through one of the towns, I want to say Norman, maybe where Oklahoma University is.
Starting point is 00:49:24 And it was really bad. And I went with him out, and I did try to kind of go see what was happening and try to find one, and we just didn't. But, I mean, we were just driving in the car. There was something with the, I forget now, where I was listening to the news and they were just talking to someone. I forget what it was. It was very funny how just the news covering of it. I was taking to the news and they were just talking to someone. I forget what it was. It was very funny how just the news covering of it.
Starting point is 00:49:47 I was taking it personal. I think it was like very, you know, it was like, do you see it? He's like, yeah, it's real over here. He's like, all right, just do these. He's like, all right, well, I'm seeing, okay, I guess I see it. But I guess you don't want to talk to me. Like would say stuff like that. They'd go, all right, well, we're going to come back to you.
Starting point is 00:50:02 All right, yeah, I'm the one out here. But yeah, go do whatever you want to go do. I mean, I'm the one that is seeing all of it. We'd always kind of say stuff like that right before they go off the air. And you're like, she's really making it about this. He's like, all right, thanks, Samantha. We're going to be back to you probably later. He's like, probably.
Starting point is 00:50:18 I mean, I'm the main person here. I don't see you. Okay, all right. And then it just would cut off to the next thing. But we went and watched it. And then I flew out that next morning. And I remember I had to fly out early. I don't ever fly out early.
Starting point is 00:50:33 I'm usually like a, I try to be like a 10 a.m. to noon flight guy. And I had, I left at like, I didn't go to sleep. I just went to the airport and left at 530. And that big one came through that day. I would't go to sleep. I just went to the airport and left at 5.30. And that big one came through that day. I would have never got out. Wow. I mean, I like, you know, I'm not saying I would have died,
Starting point is 00:50:53 but it would have been, I would have been stuck. I mean, that came through. It was one of the worst, you know. Wow. But you have the one, the big one here. Earlier this year? Yeah. No, not this year. There was one this year, but then the one in, there was one at night.
Starting point is 00:51:09 That's the craziest one. We had one come through Williamson County at night, and a lady died. Those are, that's the scariest thing on earth, because you don't know. Yeah. Well, there was one that came through here March 3rd through downtown downtown and and yeah it came right over us we've got the footage well that's what i shot from my from my deck i mean you can't see it will you be able to show this footage will brian not allow it we'll see breakfast is like the mlb he doesn't want his own footage why is that that's transformer uh that's like the that's like the tornado yeah you're tracking it by the
Starting point is 00:51:46 explosions so you don't know where it's at until you see an explosion and the explosions happen because of it yeah a tornado at night is you don't even think about it because it's i don't think they're like super super common yeah right all right we can mute it and just uh we it's like trying to talk someone on the phone when they're in the wind you ever call someone and you're like oh okay i can't and they're like i mean it's footage a tornado and you're like all right it's fine but i shot myself was that did it show the tornado showed i saw the explosions yeah but it's just funny how you just kind of just so blew it off like i didn't blow it off i saw the explosions i don't know what else you want me to do.
Starting point is 00:52:25 We have a podcast that has to keep going. I can't stop and admire the silence. And there's just wind blowing at the thing. So I was like, all right, just cut the wind out. I saw the explosions. That was the tornado, right? That was it going through there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:41 And what else happened after that? Well, I mean, obviously it just destroyed everything in its path and it kind of went right our power is that the video of it destroying everything in the path was that the rest of the one that you're so mad at me for not watching the end of it is that what i missed it's just so funny like i have a first-hand experience if you just moved on because kept talking about no no i talked about it we watched 20 seconds of it then it was just wind noise. And there's people that can't see this video at home. I don't know if y'all know how a podcast works,
Starting point is 00:53:11 but people are not watching this. They're not all in this room. So we have to keep it moving. And y'all just like, all right, dude, why don't, okay, I guess you don't want to play my wind noise of this dark tornado that no one can, you can't even see on the screen. You can't see it up there. You can see it. You can see it move across here that night.
Starting point is 00:53:26 But I get what you're saying. No, it's fine. It did sound like somebody's speakerphone. Like, hey, I'm going down the interstate. The car's rolled down. And then they roll his windows up a little bit. He's like, oh, you've been talking to him for an hour? Are you outside?
Starting point is 00:53:37 No, the windows are down. You mean you could have stopped this, dude? You could have stopped it by rolling the windows up? And you did it? All right, Brian's it. All right. Brian's heroin. Go ahead. Heroin experience.
Starting point is 00:53:49 Is it heroin? I don't know. Heroin. Oh, I say a heroin. I was on heroin in a heroin experience. Pretty different. You got video of your heroin experience.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Let's watch that. Well, if he shows down on that video you're gonna see a heroin experience because he lived there's all the the drug all the drug addicts live right below him well so you could have got both here's a harrowing experience and here's a heroin experience and you just show up and down because it wasn't at all like on your street you would see fights and i'd see a lot yeah yeah there's a lot going on yeah you can rent this apartment on airbnb uh um you know the 2011 super breakout toward i was the worst in u.s history the one that went
Starting point is 00:54:38 through alabama and tuscaloosa and all that right yeah so we were those are such crazy uh crazy tornadoes we were in doing are such crazy, crazy tornadoes. We were doing shows at Stardome that weekend. Oh yeah. I was there with Angela and we went over to Tuscaloosa and she bought a bunch of supplies and we delivered it to people there, but we just got to go through the damage. And it was just so great. We've had it with my high school.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Donaldson Christian Academy has been hit with a flood and a tornado. And so the last one that came through this year just ripped my high school, Donaldson Christian Academy, has been hit with a flood and a tornado. And so the last one that came through this year just ripped my high school up, just ripped it up bad. And we're trying to do a show for them, and then COVID happened. They just really got dealt a bad hand. And I know everybody's still there. And so it was brutal. But I drove over there.
Starting point is 00:55:21 And if you go through, you know almost i took uh my daughter and it's almost like not a bad you know i don't know it's it's all a bad thing but like for a kid to see i don't know maybe could go do different ways but i think it's like good for them to see it right you know just to be like look this is serious you know look these people which we noticed is it's always the in the bathroom the middle of the house is always up in most places. It's kind of crazy to think. You'll see a bathtub, and then maybe the wall's in the middle. These houses are level, just level.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Not we got some wind damage on the roof. The whole thing's gone. I remember the one that came throughville my senior year in high school 97 and right 97 98 98 so i've been right in the middle of volunteer state community college getting no credits taking speech and we i remember i had to go pick up we had a one that came and came it came down, God, we've had a bunch of them. I actually remember another time.
Starting point is 00:56:30 One came down our street, an old house we used to live on. But this one was a huge one that came through Nashville. Yeah, there's a great video of that downtown. We're good with the video. All right. No, I'm joking. If there's a video of that, show that video. They, maybe it won't be at night.
Starting point is 00:56:47 And this one was during the day. But so I remember watching this one. So I was in 1998. And I remember it came through Old Hickory. I was thinking Andrew Jackson's house, the Hermitage. All these trees. You used to not be able to see the house from the road because there's so many trees. And now you can see the house.
Starting point is 00:57:08 And I always thought that was like, that's so crazy. It took that many trees out. And, uh, we, I remember my mom called me. It was like, go get, I went and picked my sister up. She was in elementary school and I went and picked her up. And then my aunt, I think was at our house. Maybe I don't remember. No, it was me, my brother and, uh, my sister. And I went out back and was filming, trying to see if I would get anything. And when it was like happening. Yeah. And I mean, nothing came up directly over near us to really see it. But you were at Channel 5. Yeah, that's footage right there from Channel 5.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Yeah. I remember seeing this on the news. If you're watching this, we'll post again. We'll post some of this stuff in the Instagram stories. We went right through downtown? Right through downtown. That one was crazy. That girl's trying to open the door, and they can't get it open for her,
Starting point is 00:57:55 and the train is coming down the street. That's our front lobby at Fennel 5. You were there. You were in that building. Yep. And was it just like a train? Yeah, I mean, we all went down to the basement yeah uh so but yeah it was crazy it knocked us knocked us off there and then the
Starting point is 00:58:11 building he had hit twice the flood of 2010 yeah i mean it's uh when you're you know when you're that kind of stuff it's so helpless it's just something coming through whether that's what's so crazy it's such a there's nothing you can do anything that you know obviously a robbery like i don't know there's just stuff you could stop it there's things to stop fire you put it yeah you know i mean there's nothing to do with the fires is roaring but there's at least hope like there's something a tornado for some reason like earthquake feels the same way we feel an earthquake the whole earthquake was the most helpless I've ever felt because it's everywhere.
Starting point is 00:58:47 You can't run from it. You can't not, you know, you step here, it's there. You could run half a mile during an earthquake,
Starting point is 00:58:54 you could feel that whole, like, that's, there's just no escaping it. Yeah. When we went to LA, we felt one in New York too
Starting point is 00:59:00 and then New York, what happened, Laura was working in one of the big buildings and she felt it. But the one in earthquake, the first one I ever felt it. But the one in Earthquake, the first one I ever felt was wild, man. I mean, it was unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:59:09 It's, uh, feeling Earthquake. There's, you know, people in California don't even think about it. But if you have never felt one. I've never felt one. You felt one? I did a terrible gig in Oklahoma. The whole weekend was so terrible. The only thing I got excited about, we had an Earthquake. Like, I felt my first Earthquake. It's crazy, right? My hotel room. Yeah, if someone, it's... H got excited about, we had an earthquake. Like, I felt my first earthquake. Oh, yeah. It's crazy, right?
Starting point is 00:59:25 My hotel room. Yeah. Yeah, if someone... Hated the gig, but I loved that I felt an earthquake. Yeah. I hope this... The highlight of your trip
Starting point is 00:59:34 was a natural disaster. I hope this plane flies right into a mountain. You just hope... I hope this earthquake sucks us all under. It's... Yeah, these tornadoes... The craziest one, where's the one in Missouri?
Starting point is 00:59:50 It's the biggest one. Yeah, Joplin? Joplin. Joplin goes through. I mean, this thing is enormous. It's, you know, I think it's like a quarter of a mile. 2011. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:04 It goes through i mean it's the big it's an e5 is that what they say e5 yeah ef5 tornado and i mean it's just like it's so big that it's like that's not it keep just scroll through it real fast and see if you just see it's so big that it just looks like dark clouds yeah like that's how big it is and el reno oklahoma has the widest tornado ever recorded 2.6 miles wide i mean that's just wiping out that's just wiping out of town dude yeah i mean that's that's your you're right that's the scary thing about these is you literally it hits and you're like well we just got to wait it out yeah we can't do anything about it do anything about it there's nothing you can do it's so crazy uh see these base hunter guys i ain't gonna get it
Starting point is 01:00:53 you could be one of these maybe we'll do that as the nate land you know we need somebody to come with us nate hunters tornado hunters tornado hunters tornadoers what are you guys riding Tornado hunters. Tornado hunters. Tornado hunters. Tornators. What are you guys riding? The flying penguin? And then we have a penguin that we drive in that's shaped that can handle the wind. See, I'd be much more willing to do something with a tornado than just about any other natural disaster. Why? Hurricanes terrify me. The water element of it terrifies me.
Starting point is 01:01:28 There's so much. I mean, they're hundreds of miles across. Them coming in, they're slow, too. You see them, and you're like, here it comes. Oh, yeah, here it comes. You can't do anything about it. You can't do anything about it. It's happening.
Starting point is 01:01:39 You can move. A tornado, you can get away from it. I feel like you're mocking tornadoes. No, I mean, I don't. tornado you know it's you can get away from it i feel like you're mocking tornado no i mean i mean i don't you can't just drive a mile to the left and and be away from a hurricane you can leave three weeks before you say it gets here i have a joke about that it's got a heads up notice of hey guys there's a tornado that's out in the ocean bothering nobody we think it's going to come here in about a month if you guys could you gather your stuff some of you could probably sell your
Starting point is 01:02:08 home you have enough time to sell your home that's my joke is it what you say yes yeah in nashville you could already sold your home for more than you asked for and be living somewhere else by the time the hurricane gets there yeah hey that's fair you know i'm talking about in the context of being a storm chaser and going going yeah well if you go down there and stand in the in the field of winds i think it's it does it's relentless the hurricane but again you're putting yourself in it so that's why the fear of it i don't understand tornado just happens it's there it's on top of you so you know yeah but hurricane you have to go put you can avoid a hurricane for the rest of your life. You can avoid a tornado pretty easily, dude.
Starting point is 01:02:50 How? I've never come across one. I've been doing much. You have a long attitude. It's been working for me, dude. Huh? It's been working for me. You've never had it?
Starting point is 01:02:59 We've had them come through here. I'm from Alabama. There are always, but I've never been up in one's face. No, I know. I don't know how to word that. Yes. The odds of,
Starting point is 01:03:08 but your odds are just, your odds of a hurricane is zero as long as you don't go dry near it. But a tornado, you're always walking around with the odds
Starting point is 01:03:17 of a tornado can happen. It's just on the table. And some parts of the country, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, we get a ton of them here. Oklahoma gets it. We get like 90 of the world's tornadoes i think right what do you mean
Starting point is 01:03:29 about we number out of nowhere the united states oh how many spiders are here right now because i think tornadoes elsewhere in the world are fairly rare yeah it's like an american phenomenon you don't have them that's right it's our thing go usa i. You don't have them. That's right. It's our thing. Go USA. I don't think you have them west of the Rockies, do you? I don't know. No one ever says west of the Rockies that much anymore. That's why you have the earthquakes. I'd have to think about where that's even.
Starting point is 01:04:02 I mean, that's like south of the, I don't know. Mostly Sunbelt stuff, right? What are you talking about? In the Tennessee Valley? Yeah. West of the Iraqis. West of Mississippi. You guys get it. What about West of Mississippi?
Starting point is 01:04:21 I don't go that far. Do they have them they i don't uh try to think of new york's ever had one tornadoes they have hurricanes but um i think they have them so i think everybody's got something that's what's crazy everybody gets i don't think like california gets tornadoes i do they no i don't think so does california's get tornadoes look and see if california gets a tornado west of the rock i don't think west of the rockies uh but they get earthquakes Look and see if California gets a tornado. West of the Rockies. I don't think West of the Rockies. But they get earthquakes.
Starting point is 01:04:47 Yeah. That's crazy. Everybody gets a thing. I think New York had a tornado. You got to go to like Idaho. What's Idaho? They don't got anything going on. They got a lot going on.
Starting point is 01:04:57 But they're more common than you might think. 2010. Average. They had 11 tornadoes. What did it say about kansas averaged 62 96 kansas yeah 96 that's so many but i guess that's all different sizes right uh and most of them don't touch the ground yeah yeah most are pretty weak right most are pretty stupid that's what i would say right aaron i'm trying to put a positive spin on this, dude.
Starting point is 01:05:25 No, I'm saying that you don't respect tornadoes. I hope a tornado follows you home tonight. I hope it drives right behind your car. I just go kind of fast and I'd outrun it, no problem. Yeah. And it wouldn't pick up an ocean and dump it on top of it. How fast would you go? I say I would never get pulled over by the cops.
Starting point is 01:05:42 I'm not going that fast. You'd be watching West Wing, don't even see it. Hey, that's fair. There's a great hurricane storyline in West Wing. You tell me it's insane to be more afraid of a hurricane than a tornado? Tornadoes are a surprise. Hurricanes are, it's, you know, I mean, hurricanes are bad and people stay. But a lot of times when it happens, they either, look, they can't move.
Starting point is 01:06:07 There's circumstances. They go tell them, even Katrina, they tried. They were getting everybody out. I'm not saying it tears up a whole town. Hurricanes do way more damage. But as far as a human being dying, I mean, a tornado just could pop up on us right now. It could be right behind. Is there one right behind me right now?
Starting point is 01:06:25 I mean, it could be that easy that you just don't look. He's always just looking and coming. They come out of nowhere. Think about the ones at night, dude. It's at night. That one that came through Winston County. I remember we, Harper's asleep. We just went in like the middle closet of the house.
Starting point is 01:06:44 And we just kind of sat in there cause we didn't know how long it was going to be. And I was watching it. It's like two in the morning and it's just pitch black dark. I mean, people don't even know that you could look, be looking at it and you wouldn't know until you flew away. Like,
Starting point is 01:06:59 you know, well, you might hear it. We hear loud noise. Yes. But you don't know the idea of it. It's not going here. I come, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug, chug.
Starting point is 01:07:08 It's making a little chugging noise. You see, his video is a great video Brian shot, if you even cared about it. And it's a video about wind sound. And they, you would see those sparks. Well, those sparks aren't heads up. The sparks is, I'm on you. I'm on top of you.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Yeah. So that's, you know, you're seeing the tornado fly. Crazy. That's fair. So how many earthquakes do you guys think we had in Tennessee last year? Zero.
Starting point is 01:07:40 Seven. 301. No. Who's, what are they counting? They have a ton of small, there's some small ones all the time they're like east tennessee like you just barely feel them yeah yeah you feel them though in east tennessee like yeah 300 let's say i've never i don't uh i don't know if i felt one here i don't think i've got one here yeah but uh. So California, they keep preparing for the big one. So the last really big one they had was, I guess, 1994,
Starting point is 01:08:11 depending on what you consider big, which cost 72 deaths. But the big one they think will hit will be 44 times stronger than that one. That was the World Series game. No, the World Series was 89. Oh. So they have a 48% chance of the big one hitting within the next 30 years from the san andreas fault and so that hits what happens a major death destruction i said not good i joked that california would fall into the ocean yeah that was from superman one uh that's what he said well there was a missile that went to California.
Starting point is 01:08:45 But they say it won't fall in the ocean, but there's going to be major, major destruction. For just California? Well, the West Coast. Will we fill it here? The West Coast. No. East of the Rockies won't.
Starting point is 01:08:54 East of the Rockies. So we're good east of the Rockies. Yeah. But if you're in it, it's like all of California fills this. Oh, yeah. All the West Coast. Yeah. Every state, every part.
Starting point is 01:09:06 And it just is like, is it one crack? It's like just going to, everything's going to fall down. Yeah. The center is falling. They said, I mean, this is years from years from now, Los Angeles and San Francisco will be close to each other. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:19 Because they're going to just. But they're talking like thousands and thousands. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That feels like a very loose thing that can well i know hey that's again scientists could have just got you know that's why i almost didn't tell you yeah because it's a scientist gonna do you know i could just
Starting point is 01:09:34 go out and be like you know what seattle will become san diego and san diego becomes seattle in a thousand years and you'd be like ah that's crazy's crazy. He goes, yeah, I'm a scientist. I've studied this. You're like, I don't know how you study that. Did you look it up and stuff? He's like, no, I am the lookup. What I write is the lookup. I'm the source.
Starting point is 01:09:57 And then how are we going to, you know, is there any, is he going to get in trouble if that doesn't happen? Making outlandish things. It's a six-hour drive. It's going to be right now. San Francisco to Los Angeles's a six-hour drive. It's going to be right now. San Francisco to Los Angeles is a six-hour drive. It's going to be next to each other. When?
Starting point is 01:10:13 Just long enough that you won't be alive to prove. That's always the... A thousand years. That means if you could never have your family... I would want to now... I'll tell my daughter to tell her kids to be like don't stop this chain and i won't be here none of us will be here but i want in a thousand years i want a bargetzi to find that scientist's family and go hey guess what it's a little bit farther away than it was you know yeah this is what they think the world
Starting point is 01:10:46 will look like when millions of years from now where are we this is north america right here so like it's basically like every like we're a drain and everything's gonna just float next to you that's basically if you don't if you're listening it would be like well what if the world became a drain and every every country just floated on top of each other? That's what the world's going to look like. The penguin Ultima. Panguia Ultima. These are a few different theories of what it'll look like 100 million years in the future.
Starting point is 01:11:19 A child could draw that on a map. I could go get a kid and go go just draw me what you think the world looks like now i'm gonna put it on a website next to my doctor name and tell people this is what's gonna look like in four million years and everybody goes oh man we should listen to that guy right i don't know who made this so you know. It kind of looks like a kid drawing. It looks like a kid trying to draw the world. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 01:11:50 And it's real bad. That's like the weather. You know, we talk about weather people. They always get yelled at. Weathermen. They get yelled at because they get weather wrong. Yeah. But I always think, for some reason to me, I'm very lenient with that.
Starting point is 01:12:04 I don't ever get mad. Like, it's like, what do you want them to do, man? They, people get furious and you're like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:12:09 dude, I just, it, you know, it's a good gauge. Yeah. You're usually going to be happy. Cause it usually means it's supposed to rain all week and it didn't.
Starting point is 01:12:19 So you're like, oh, great. But back off these weather people, man, like give them, they're doing what they can predicting the future yeah how about this how about this how about this theory where all the other continents go up towards the north pole and antarctica goes stays where it is so we all just kind of join up
Starting point is 01:12:39 at the top yeah everybody's at the top we're so we're living on the north pole africa still going to be hot. Can you imagine they go, oh, is it going to cool down a little bit? You're like, actually, you kind of probably get hotter. And you're like, what, dude? Like, I mean, everywhere else is going to be north. Like, we're going to be so cold.
Starting point is 01:12:59 And Africa's like, you know what? I wouldn't hate it. That's what someone says in Africa. I wouldn't hate it. And you're like, well, I got some bad news, Madagascar, because you might not move. There's a great chance you won't move. That's what we're guessing.
Starting point is 01:13:15 And that's what a scientist would sell Madagascar. He would do a speech about it. Scientists have suggested permanently dimming the sun to save South Africa from deadly dry spells. I mean, who is it? A drunk homeless guy that just shouts these ideas out? Turn the sun down. You know what we should do?
Starting point is 01:13:34 Turn the sun down. The plan involves pumping vast quantities of gas into the atmosphere above Cape Town to preserve local water supplies. Research is subjecting particles. I mean, it's just... The gas would form a huge cloud above the city that reflects sunlight, dimming the environment from the ground below. I think that's a great idea.
Starting point is 01:13:55 I mean, that's like, you know, you can't yell at us about global warming and then this is the deal. What's your answer for it? We're going to dim the sun. Or whatever it is. It doesn't make, I can't imagine shooting gases up in the, isn't that the main thing?
Starting point is 01:14:13 The problem? We got too many gases in the air. And they're like, I know, but they're not these gases. Uh, I mean, unbelievable. Can you imagine if someone floats that idea to take at a science table?
Starting point is 01:14:24 That just came out. That just came out. That just came out. Yeah. 2020. Yeah. That's not some drunk scientist smoking a cigarette in a lab, you know what I mean, where the doctor's gave, the baby was born with a cigarette in his mouth, like, where there was no rules.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Yeah. That's 2020. Wow. That guy's in the middle of a pandemic. Wow. And this is what he's gotten to you know what what if we dim the sun you're like hey why don't you not publicly let that get out that you said that's what someone should have said to him immediately what'd you say hey what if we dim the sun uh we should just turn the sun down a little bit oh we're just doing knob and just turn it down? Install a dimmer, dude. Johnny, get...
Starting point is 01:15:06 Just Dr. Sadad Khan. Johnny Red. Johnny Red. Johnny Red on it, man. Who do you think did that? Let's say one of the names is Dr. Khan, the other's Johnny Red. Sounds like Johnny Red's idea.
Starting point is 01:15:20 You're right. Johnny Red. It's actually Soar Soagbay. Soaray Soagabore. Oh, man. Soar Soagore. Soar Soagore. Soar. Soar,
Starting point is 01:15:35 go ahead. Soar your hand up. What if we dim the sun? Soar? Save your work, Soar, and then get out of here. Unbelievable. Save your work. Soar. Soar of here say savior unbelievable save your work soar soar don't ever say something like that ever uh right when soar said it uh what have we done the sun can uh can everybody leave except soar and then everybody just got up and left and goes soar what what are you doing what are you out of your mind dim the sun you went to college i mean like what
Starting point is 01:16:08 they're teaching you stuff they're teaching stuff there's not a dimmer you know how long it took us to learn to dim lights in a house and you want to dim the sun it's not like we just figured that out it wasn't like the light was invented then we started dimming them. He wants to dim the sun? We don't even know. Do you know how big it is? It's gigantic. Pretty big, man. It's pretty big.
Starting point is 01:16:30 Oh, dude. He goes, it's not that big. He's like, you against tornadoes? It's not that big. It's the least thing I worry. It's big, but I'm not.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Out of all the universe, the least thing I'm scared of is the sun. A San Francisco geologist made a name for himself by accurately predicting the Northern California's 1989 earthquake. He combed the classified ads for local newspapers and saw that a large number of household pets had run away from home. He made a conjecture that animals can sense earthquakes coming, and he was correct. conjecture that animals can sense earthquakes coming and he was correct in china in 1975 and broke for a major earthquake brought hundreds of snakes abandoned their burrows
Starting point is 01:17:11 they're running through the city three days later earthquake yet thousands of toads are running there's all these examples of animals sensing it and getting out of town yeah i mean i would imagine if downtown nashville had hundreds of snakes going through it, we ought to, I don't know, figure something's going on. I mean, we should look into it. Maybe go buy some toilet paper at the store. But, you know, if I see Holly cowering in the corner one day. I say they know he knows that super volcano and yellowstone that if it if it erupts like the world's over pretty much there's a super volcano out there and i say they're gonna know if it's
Starting point is 01:17:52 about to erupt if all the animals just start getting out of town yeah all the bison and everything to start running so see that bison he's got their suitcases that they walk down you know they always show a bison walking down the road. He's got his roller bag with him. You're like, where are you guys going? He goes, ah, we're just getting out of here. Kind of overstayed our welcome, you know what I mean? They go, okay, makes sense. He's like, one of them's got his thumb out.
Starting point is 01:18:16 All the bisons are holding their thumbs out. That's what's going to happen. That's what you're saying on the podcast. Yeah, all those animals will leave, man. Where are they going to go, though? Is he is it gonna kill everybody because the animals don't know should we follow well it's gonna it's gonna create a nuclear winter just it's gonna erupt block out it's gonna dim the sun too much it's gonna too much it turned it down way too much and we're gonna freeze the story is gonna have about two weeks of being like, told you. Told you we can dim the sun.
Starting point is 01:18:46 And then it gets real bad. He goes, all right. That was, well, not this much. Not this much. Turn it up. But he has two weeks of going, what'd I say? He just walks in, what'd I say? You said we couldn't dim the sun?
Starting point is 01:18:57 I said we could dim the sun. So we're so cool. Oh, man. That's fun. A raindrop's terminal velocity is 18 miles per hour. Oh. Oh. Like a squirrel.
Starting point is 01:19:09 Yeah. They can survive. The air located in a lightning bolt is 54,000 degrees. Oh. I don't know if I even care. You know, that's like such a number that's like... It's five times hotter than the surface of the sun. I mean, I'd imagine the sun's pretty hot.
Starting point is 01:19:29 Sun's unbelievably hot. You can't get near it. And you're like, it's five times more. You're like, does it even matter at this point, man? If I can't get to the near, I need to know how much hotter than an oven. That's what they should. I know, but they should do more set. Like they, they give you something that
Starting point is 01:19:46 you can't wrap your head around how many degrees hot is 54 000 okay so an oven is 300 yeah 300 350 all right i go 400 sometimes just to save time i'm impressed now you see how i'm i'm just saying they use examples that mean nothing. So 135 times hotter than enough. Some guy got hit by lightning. How hot was it? I like the way you said. It's pretty hot. You should go.
Starting point is 01:20:15 I like that you described it better. I would rather hear you on the news go, all right, everybody, your oven's at 400 degrees. And you're like, God, that's kind of hot, right? It's hot. You want to put your hand in there? No, I don't. Now imagine 54,000 more than that. And you're like, golly, dude, that's so hot.
Starting point is 01:20:33 And then I can wrap my head around that versus five times the sun. And you're like, well, how hot's the sun? Okay. 400 degrees. Remember how crazy you thought 54,000 was was a little bit less than that that wasn't the sun less than that yes that's five times less than that so you need to do this sun yeah hit my lighting wait how hot was it yeah i'm not worried about temperature yeah it wasn't lighting yeah it wasn't even that hot he's like ah it's more it wasn't even that hot dude honestly
Starting point is 01:21:07 it's honestly you know those icy hot commercials that that name made more sense to me when i got hit by lightning it was like once i got hit by lightning it was like a lightning like a light bulb went on my head and i go i know what icy hot means have you been to hot heady bees not the hottest but that's what i would imagine ice icy hot means. Have you been to Hattie B's? Not the hottest, but... That's what I would imagine icy hot. That's what you would say. You can tell the temperature outside by counting the crickets' chirps. Count the number of chirps in 14 seconds and then add 40 to get the temperature.
Starting point is 01:21:40 I mean, there's no way. That's impossible. That's just impossible. A, I don't even hear crickets all the time. You gotta have cricket. Huh? You gotta have the crickets for it to work. But are crickets out now?
Starting point is 01:21:54 They're not out in the cold. It's cold. It's like Kramer telling the time. Yeah. What about at night? It's a little bit harder, but I can still get within two, three hours. I mean, yeah, that's like, I don't know, but I can still get within two, three hours.
Starting point is 01:22:08 I mean, yeah, that's like 20 degrees, 30. What are the crickets? Add 40. Can you, I mean, hey, we got to go. Well, now we got to start over because you just talked and I lost track of the cricket chirps. So if you want to go, maybe don't talk while i try to count these cricket chirps i think that's amazing that is amazing i don't know how someone figured that out but well when you make something up you don't have to have anybody figure it out i mean that's how
Starting point is 01:22:34 when you just some guy says that i don't know if that's true you know you can't sleep with your feet in socks because they can't breathe that's my joke that my dad told me when i was a kid i don't sleep my socks on my feet that's not true at all but that sounds like i could say that you'd be like wow your feet can't breathe i know next time you hear some crickets you're gonna count them you're gonna count them 14 then add 40 how many times wait wait so what is it uh the number chirps in 14 seconds and then add 40 to that number. So you're at 10 and then 40. That sounds so made up, dude.
Starting point is 01:23:11 I believe it, but it sounds... Okay. It's a real thing. That's a number that would be tough to get to. 10 seconds, you'd be like, I have the time for that. 14, you're like, I'm not. And you could always be a little bit off, because if it was 15, you'd be like... like well one place i read 15 seconds and then add 37 i mean that's the same so like that would be uh so 14 and add 40 so you could just do 10 and add 46
Starting point is 01:23:39 you're like what are you doing to me he goes uh'll just do one second and add 61 next to it that's what it would that's honestly what the math ends up being it's like it's down to someone just starts counting these chirps and he goes i don't have the time for it he goes i look i get it everybody's got a busy day listen for one cricket how many chirps one second add 60 to it how many chirps? One second, add 60 to it. How many chirps in one second? And then the other guy goes, well, I'm supposed to be Duke in my 14th. That's like three-minute abs.
Starting point is 01:24:13 And he goes, no, everybody does five-minute abs, man. There's something about Mary? Yeah, something about Mary. I'm doing three-minute abs. That's in three-minute abs. It's better. Takes a snowflake 45 minutes to one hour to hit the ground. How do they know that?
Starting point is 01:24:30 I don't know. You got a good little ballpark. I mean, that's 45 minutes to one hour. You got a 15-minute window. Yeah. To go. How do they time that? It could be your first set or your second set of your special.
Starting point is 01:24:40 I don't know how they time. I guess I got to. Now. 45 minutes to one hour, starting now. All right, lost it. Hold on. Okay. There's a lot of them.
Starting point is 01:24:53 This is brutal. I'm going to do... Let me start again. Hold on. No, don't start. All right, I got it again. I got to bet. I got to bet.
Starting point is 01:25:01 I got to bet. When Hurricane Andrew hit Florida in 1992, it was a Category 5 hurricane. It destroyed a python breeding facility and 900 pythons escaped. They have now, the pythons have destroyed the Florida Everglades. 99% of rabbits and foxes have basically disappeared.
Starting point is 01:25:23 And raccoons and opossums are almost all gone. I didn't think that it was, I thought I knew that there was the, the Python problem down there, but I didn't, I thought it was pets. Well,
Starting point is 01:25:36 that was a problem too. A lot of people are just turning them loose, but that, but this really sped it up 900 at once. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. That's a good app. That at once. This didn't help. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. That's a good...
Starting point is 01:25:46 That should be in your argument for hurricanes. Yeah. If you want to argue hurricanes... Listen, I would have gotten to that for sure, but I was cut off a few times. Yeah. We didn't let you get to that. They... Your bow is on the tip of your tongue.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Right. Snake. And they... On the flip side of that is... But that should definitely be in your argument to go pythons are a problem now right yeah they destroyed the tornado destroy the florida ever ever glades no hurricane did oh by the weather you wish much worse right you get paid money to catch these snakes guys do it oh yeah i want it's like maybe 500 bucks or something
Starting point is 01:26:25 yeah it's a lot of snake i mean guys just go out and catch because they got to get them they got to get them rain back it's too much they're destroyed they have no predator they're just they're everywhere yeah yeah yep is there how many like do we have any live you know i don't know is there i did a joke about tigers. Is there any tigers in the wild in America that are in the wild that they would know? Not in America. Oh, that got loose somehow? Yeah, they maybe got loose and then they've become.
Starting point is 01:26:54 There was supposedly one in Knoxville recently, right? But I think that turned out not to be true. Like there's got to be any, yeah, any ant, like, you know, lion or tiger. Is there anything that's not supposed to be here that's just that's not in a zoo or did it but like now we just think like does america no tiger got on the loose in knoxville oh that was from a zoo but yeah so there's no like because they would have to just you just gotta tell america hey america we live with a tiger now and we don't know where it's at. There's one somewhere in America.
Starting point is 01:27:26 Somewhere in America. But if it got loose from a zoo, what does it matter where it got loose from? As long as it's, if it's missing. Well, if it's in the wild, if it's missing. Yeah. And usually they find those. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:35 But I mean, I mean, this one would probably have to get like that. That'd be a very, you know, that'd have been a crazy news thing. My craziest one i remember hearing was in arizona uh i might have talked to this i don't talk about a lot of stuff but they uh was when they said don't go to juarez mexico it's a lawless place it's a lawless town yeah and i remember i was next to juarez because we were i was like when i was 21 and then they so
Starting point is 01:28:03 i saw it on their local news and they say tonight everybody don't go to Juarez it's lawless right now and I that's always stuck with me it's the craziest thing I've ever heard on the news yeah just to be hey man don't go they can murder you in the street absolute chaos and nothing nothing will happen to you there's no police there it It's just craziness. Yeah. Water spouts near dry land can make sea creatures ring down from the sky.
Starting point is 01:28:31 Jeez. Fish have been known to get sucked into them in the fall. Oh, wow. Lightning strikes the Empire State Building around 25 times a year.
Starting point is 01:28:42 That'd be more than that. That's not as many as you think. I mean, it's up there. It's asking for it. You think it'd be... Twice a month. Yeah. Huh?
Starting point is 01:28:53 It's twice a month. I know, but how much lightning is there? I mean, there's 300 earthquakes in Tennessee that I've ever felt. I would think that the Empire State Building gets struck more than 25 times. That's not that many. I would think that the Empire of Stilwell gets struck more than 25 times. That's not that many. I would think in a night.
Starting point is 01:29:08 If you told me, you think if you heard it was 25 times a night, you would be like, oh, I believe that, during a thunderstorm? I mean, I see what you're saying. I could see it being much more than that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:29:22 According to some, the amount, you can predict the weather, how bad it going to be by the the color of the woolly worm the amount of black on the back of the woolly worm varies in proportion with the upcoming weather um the longer the woolly worms black band keep up a woolly worm the longer the woolly worms black band the longer colder snowier and more severe the weather will be the wider the middle brown band, the less bad the winter will be. It's just, I mean, there's no way that's true. You know, it's like. This isn't a scientist thing.
Starting point is 01:29:55 This is farmers. So now we're listening to, I mean, that should be the, that should be out the gate. I would enjoy the information more if I would have been told, this is my neighbor. Who said this is my neighbor who said this my neighbor there's uh that seems i yeah that's so funny that doesn't he goes i was gonna have just what some farmers think that's just like you guys heard of the farmer's almanac right yeah sure yeah they they kind of Yeah. I think it's fun to use some kind of fun. Ben Franklin did the first one, right? That's poor Richard, right? Still an almanac.
Starting point is 01:30:35 I think, I don't even know what y'all both were talking about right there. At all. Have you ever heard of Ben Franklin? I thought it was a bar. Isn't that a bar in something? That's the bar in the office. We've truly segued.
Starting point is 01:30:53 A mirage. Guess what a mirage is? Yep. It's in Vegas. Twice. Topical illusion. Not a hallucination. See, that's the part you guys don't have yeah okay that's a haul
Starting point is 01:31:15 that's what this podcast is what do they do they just ask them if they know something and they say yes or no yep yep and they go so they say yes they move on like oh that's crazy so no they explain it goes no no they still move on they just get a yes or no yes or no from them i'm losing it i'm losing it all right i always thought a mirage from cartoons was like you see water in the desert and you run and jump. But that's a hallucination. You can take pictures of mirages. Mirages are real things. It's atmospheric conditions that cause them, but
Starting point is 01:31:51 they're not just like in your head. Oh. It's like you're so far away from something the shape of it looks like. And we've seen that. You've all seen that on Hot Roads, right? Yeah. Yeah. So that's... Yeah. A sundog? You guys know what a sundog is? I talked about a sundog you guys know what a sundog is i talked about sundog because they just saw a ufo yes no oh what you don't know what sundog is uh
Starting point is 01:32:13 what's the matter with you aaron sorry dude that was so funny when he was like y'all know the mirages you just go yep yep next we're really cooking now we got a lot of questions we're really rolling we got hung up on woolly worms too long man we gotta get to the back end of this i mean we got chirping you count how many times a woolly worm farts and add 50 and that's and you can tell you can tell how what your house feels like when you go inside of it what is the sundog i'm looking at it but i don't know uh the only thing i brought up sundogs i follow some ufo thing on uh instagram and there's this there's a sundog and then they said uh they thought a ufo came out of sundog. And then I never even heard. They weren't even talking about the sundog.
Starting point is 01:33:06 The sundog wasn't even. They talked about it as if. Everybody knows what it is. So this sundog, obviously. And then this UFO comes out. And then no one brought it. I was like, well, what's a sundog, man? Let's back up a little bit.
Starting point is 01:33:19 Yeah. That's just. And it was square. Yeah, it makes for the sun. It's not as, you know ufo spotted during sun oh sunset all right yeah uh all right we're about to be yeah this is where we do we have is that all the weather stuff whether there's probably a ton more yeah there's a ton more here is there any other fun that's like something crazy um something you thought like it'd be
Starting point is 01:33:44 well i thought a lot I thought would be impressive. I got one, maybe. All right, let's hear it. The loudest noise ever in the world. Krakatoa. When Krakatoa erupted. Oh, the meteorite? In the 1880s.
Starting point is 01:33:58 Oh, never mind. The volcano. Yeah. When it erupted. Yes. Everybody knows the Krakatoa. All right. No, I don't know the Krakatoa it was a big volcano yeah it erupted it was so loud it's the loudest noise ever it circled the earth like three and a half times yeah wow people everybody heard people 50 miles
Starting point is 01:34:19 away their eardrums were ruptured it was was heard all over the world. All over the world? Yeah. Three times around? The sound traveled three times around. So we would have heard it here. I don't know. I mean, it was in Indonesia. It was registered by like, you know, the devices. So the sound heard around the world.
Starting point is 01:34:41 The Richter scale? Don't think I'm crazy by going so i would hear it it's like technically not maybe the first time around you heard it i don't know about the second or the third time around yeah but even to hear it at all is pretty crazy but where did it happen indonesia indonesia indonesia conveniently in 1880 when all the continents were together in 1880? Yeah. Were they spread out?
Starting point is 01:35:06 San Francisco was more by New York. Yeah, San Francisco. Yeah. I'm listening. Go ahead. It's been a busy hundred years. Yeah. Seattle was more of a Russia thing.
Starting point is 01:35:18 Go ahead. That's about it. I was pumped to talk about that, but I think that's... That's pretty cool. No, I mean, that's pretty insane. Yeah, it's pretty loud. Yeah. It's just when it exploded, I mean, that's pretty insane. Yeah, it's pretty loud. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:25 And it's just when it exploded and then everybody, I don't know why, I feel like I should have heard about this before. That was a long time ago. I know, but it says, I can't imagine anything that the whole world could hear. It's like anybody sitting there like, what was that? Or they just kept going. Yeah, that's what I mean. Is it like they just registered the sound?
Starting point is 01:35:43 Or am I watching TV and I just hear, and you're like, what was that? Did you hear something? Yeah, did you hear something? He moved the TV. Oh, that was Krakatoa in Indonesia. And then everybody just went back about their day. They didn't go, well, that's crazy.
Starting point is 01:35:57 So this is pretty crazy the way they have this word in this article about it. It says the Krakatoa explosion registered 172 decibels at 100 miles from the source. This is so astonishingly loud that it's inching up against the limits of what we mean by sound. Tell me what a
Starting point is 01:36:15 rock concert decibel is. Do y'all know about decibels? That's like a loud rock concert? It's like... Oh, right. So 172 is insane, right? that's like a loud rock concert it's like oh right 120 so 172 is insane right
Starting point is 01:36:28 yeah church is roughly 90 what if you slam an oven door that's at 400 temperature how loud would that be how hot was that volcano that's what I want to know
Starting point is 01:36:40 that's 172 and a KISS concert is 120 but that's 100 miles away from okay I was supposed to say kiss probably goes around the world
Starting point is 01:36:47 so if you were near it you could it would just almost kill you yeah would the sound just kill you would it like
Starting point is 01:36:55 just shatter your super close you would just die from the the volcano itself oh you would be like oh did the sound do it you're like no
Starting point is 01:37:01 it was actually the lava it was actually it was ash you know I'll be honest I don't know if he even heard the sound because he died You're like, no, it was actually the lava. It was actually, yeah. It was ash. You know, I'll be honest with you, I don't know if he even heard the sound because he died so quickly from the lava. The lava was so hot. He had his hands over his ears.
Starting point is 01:37:11 Upset that he didn't get to hear the sound. Right. I know him, and he would have been the guy that's going, I didn't get to hear the sound. Like, should have been that close. He died real quick. Should we, what's that volcano that might explode?
Starting point is 01:37:23 The super volcano in the Yellowstone. Should we just live on it? Because that means like you just go when it happens. When it explodes, you're like,
Starting point is 01:37:34 it's over. Instead of moving, just get right on top of it. It's like, what are you going to die? A year after it happens? Slowly? Or just get up in it
Starting point is 01:37:42 and then just when it happens, you're, you don't even know. The last volcano in the US that erupted was Mount St. Helens in 1980. Yeah. 57 people were killed.
Starting point is 01:37:52 Did y'all cover that at Channel 5 or was that more of a... I'm sure we did. Do you want to talk about Yellowstone? I don't have a lot to say It's just real scary It's going to happen at some point If you don't, donate to Wikipedia Hello, here at Wikipedia
Starting point is 01:38:14 We're the only things keeping Yellowstone Crack Attack From Cracking Again Do they call it Crack Attack After it cracked the loudest? Is that what they name crackatoa well crackatoa it's where sorge is from crack attack would be a better crack attack yeah it was attack of cracking crackatoa you know when did they call it they call that after it
Starting point is 01:38:39 it made a loud cracking sound what are the odds the loudest sound ever from something is called crack attack? Krakatoa. That's the name of the island. How would they know how loud it was? Like in decibels? Well, when you're 100 years ago and no one can look anything up. 140 years ago. I think they still had seismographs.
Starting point is 01:39:05 On the go there. Back then in the 1880s, I think they still had seismographs. On the go there. Back then in the 1880s, I think. Okay. I don't know if they had cars. You're right, they didn't. No? But they had that. I don't think lights could be dimmed, but they had.
Starting point is 01:39:22 But they can track noise from Indonesia. They were still going, whoa. All right. Oh, man. I think we did it. We might be back at a weather one. Yeah, that was fun. We won't do a part two, but we might.
Starting point is 01:39:42 We're better through weather. Weather's pretty fun. It's a lot of fun stuff. Yep. All right, everybody. If's a lot of fun stuff. Yep. All right, everybody. If you listened to this, thank you so much as always. We love you guys very much. Leave your comments, everything.
