Welcome in ladies and gentlemen, cats and kittens grab your mittens and we are back. Another episode of the Nate land podcast. Hello folks. And Hey bear, I'm sitting along. I forgot how to start this thing, but I'm happy to be here. This is Aaron Weber speaking. I'm alongside my good friends, my old pals, my compadres, Brian Bates and Dusty sleigh, Nate is not here.

I thought you did a good job. Thanks, dude. I think it's good to mix it up every now and then get a little different energy to start things out. I like that. You know, uh, but it's good to be back. I feel like I haven't seen you on forever. I know it's only been a week, but I've seen you in a long time. Well, yeah, you missed a week last time. I missed a week. Oh, it has been more than a week. Yeah.

Well, how about that? You kind of sound like Nick Novicki. Have you been told that? Similar voices. I think so. Yeah, you've got a southern accent, but the tonality of it is the same. Yeah, he's got a good voice. I mean, yeah, I'm not, it's not an insult. No, no, he's a good, he's got a good voice. That's right. I give it up to him. We got, uh, let's, uh, a couple of announcements. These are, these are big things happening in the Nate land

universe. I want to shout out before we get rolling on another killer episode here. Nick Thune, friend of the podcast, very funny comedian. He's been on the podcast before it's been doing standup forever. I'm a huge fan of him. Longtime friend of Nate. He has a brand new half hour special called born young on the Nate land

YouTube, check it out. Now, if you're watching this on YouTube, look back a couple of videos and then you'll see it. It's called, Oh, sorry. Don't go ahead. I remember you guys losing it about how stylish you thought see it. Oh, sorry. Don't go ahead. I remember you guys losing it about how stylish you thought he was. You guys were, couldn't control yourselves. Well, I don't know.

No, I don't think that's accurate at all. We did a fashion episode. What's really happened is Dusty got his feelings hurt because he thinks he's stylish and we said I'm more stylish. Dusty's like. I don't think I'm stylish, but you guys are, you guys were really losing it over it. Yeah.

It was Nate losing it. Do you think you're better dressed than Nick thing? No, no, I don't, I don't think that, but you guys were, you know, you guys were really getting into it. Well, check out the special born young. It premiered this weekend. It is so funny. Brian and I opened, uh, for that. We're listed at the end of the, we are. It premiered this weekend. It is so funny. Brian and I opened for that.

We're listed at the end of the, on the credits. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Okay. That's cool. Opening comics, Aaron Webber and Brian Bates. That's good to hear. Cause I opened on your special and I did not get listed.

Well, that's cause I, I wrote all those credits for my own, but I gave you a special thanks. I thought that would mean more than the, the thing I was contractually obligated to do. Yeah. I was like Nick Novicci. Brian Bates opened and Special Thanks to Brian. Exactly. It's like, what is this, Brian Bates' special or is Aaron Webber's special? I just told all my family to be watching because I was... and then I wasn't in the crowd. I was just... How many times was Aaron thanked on the Dry Bar specials? Yeah, that's a good question. Well, the difference is again, Aaron didn't open me for me in Salt Lake City. That's true.

Or Provo, excuse me. Okay. That is true. I'm sorry about that. But Borne Young, very funny Nick, is I think if you've been following Nate Land for a while, it is definitely a little different than some of the Nate Land stuff you've seen. Like he's got a style all his own,

but I think that's fun. I think it's cool to, to mix it up. And it's like, uh, there's all different kinds of comedy. Nick is really, really, really funny. He's really good at what he does. So check it out. I think you'll like it. Also, uh, fun announcement here.

Yeah Get out there get into it and air special Signature dis 290,000 views is that I mean? Yeah. Get out there, get into it. And, uh, air special signature disc, 290,000 views. Is that real? And climbing. Yeah. Whoa.

I just checked that. Um, about that Mario Lopez shouted it out on access Hollywood. Yeah. Oh, all right. I like Mario Lopez. Loved it. Saved by the bell. Yeah.

I don't know who the female host was, but she said you were cute. I don't know, but I'm into it. Yeah. I don't know who she was either, but I like what she's doing. Yeah. You know? Wow. That's cool.

Yeah. All right. What'd they say? She just goes, he's cute. All right. I'll make that a clip. Yeah. Brad Pitt again.

Yeah. What, what, what did, what did Mario Lopez say though? Uh, he said, uh, he basically read my bio on air, but it was pretty nice. Yeah. He said he liked the special. Uh, he said he replaced Dusty Slay is the youngest comedian on the ground. Yeah. Anyway, that's awesome. It's been good. A lot of fun things happening at a fun weekend. Brian, what did you get into this weekend? Let's catch up a little bit. Yeah. So Friday I was in Bozeman, Montana. Oh yeah. Last best. Club Montana. Comedy club. It's my first time there. Was your first time doing comedy in Montana? First time in Montana. Oh, okay. So yes. So how many states do you have left? Do you keep track of this? I've

been with lately. I mean, I've got a few. Okay. Montana is a big one to check off though to check off them it's just aren't a ton of places to go up there unless you're doing theaters and stuff mm-hmm two shows first show sold out the late show did not but oh shout out to hunter Lloyd who opened for me he picked me up at the airport he took me around Bozeman showed showed me the sites, took me to the airport the next morning at a very ridiculously early time. So thanks Hunter. He was, and he did a great job on the show. So, you know, it was great.

When I was in Bozeman, there was an opener for me and they, we asked him to be clean and he was so filthy and, was that at last best? And then left before the show was over. No, it was some other venue. I don't remember what it was. It was a great show though. So that was Friday. Hunter Lloyd.

I'm just saying they're not all that good. Yeah. They're not, and not all the openers are that good. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he w he kept it clean. Um, I liked this guy though. I was fine with him.

He was just insane. Yeah. I don't think Bozeman has a lot of clean comedians. Yeah. I don't think Boseman has a lot of clean comedians. Yeah, I don't think so. He's kind of the go-to. Yeah. He opened for Ryan Hamilton, he said, and whenever they need a clean opener. He did my show too.

It was very funny. Yeah. And then flew home Saturday. Then Saturday night, our pal Keith Alberstadt was here at the lab at Zany's. Oh, yeah. I came down and did those shows, two hot shows. Keith's so funny.

Uh, he's the best. He is. He is. And then over in the main room, Joe List was over there. And I, and I said, I'm going to go over there and, and see Joe. Cause I know Joe through, through Nate. I got over there. He's like, I've lost my voice.

I mean, I could hear him say it. And he said, Nate's on his way down to pinch hit for me So Joe went up did 20 minutes maybe and then called Nate to the stage and Nate did both shows Saturday night, so, you know, it's fun Nate and Laura came down. It's fun. Hang it a bomb. Yeah How many people do you think were disappointed? None. I mean that's It's got to hurt your feelings a little bit though huh? But I think he still gave him a show but it was just obvious my voice is gone I can't speak as well as I'd like to so

I'm gonna do what I can but then here's a little added benefit of the biggest comic in America. Yeah. You know so I think that that's fair. What happened to his voice? He said he felt perfectly fine Friday night. He said he was fine. He woke up Saturday and it just went out on him. Does he smoke? I don't know. I don't think so.

I don't think what that he doesn't smoke. What does that mean? And then I did a local. Look who coughs the most on this podcast. Yeah, me and Nate. Yeah, me and Dusty sound great. Uh, but I did a show, local show last night. Renard Hirsch, his voice went out.

Mitch show. No, but I mean, I know I did do that, but like, like it happened. Renard lost his voice. Yeah. Oh gosh. So his act out, you know, we're, you know, a little different, but yeah, no, he did great. But he did. Renard's got a great voice. Yeah. That's a good voice.

Yeah. So anyway, it was a fun weekend of shows in Montana and shows here at Zany's. Big time, dude. I got back yesterday. I was, where was I? Kansas city, Missouri, Kansas city, funny bone. I had three great shows. They were all packed. Uh, very fun. I had never had line in Kansas city before, so it was cool to like, all right, here we go. And then look who was on the road at the theater, John

Christ, the same night I was there. So we met up, uh, met up for lunch. I'm wearing the exact same thing I'm wearing in that picture right now. Except your eyes are shut. Which is pretty tough, but that's how, that's how I look in most pictures. Yeah. Who was Lee, Lee and Zach with you? Uh, Lee and Stroop were with John.

Zach was opening for me. And this is Michael Blank is a very funny, uh, Kansas city comedian who hosted on my shows all weekend. So. Blank's a tough name for when you're coming up and coming back. They're like did they get that right or did they not? Michael fill in the blank. Or do they not? Michael fill in the blank. Yeah, I'll get real. I'll pull it up.

Yeah. It, uh, it's spelled differently, but that's how it's pronounced. It's blank. So you're right. That is tough. I didn't even think about that, but he's very funny. It was his first time getting to work the club and doing a weekend of stuff. So it was, it was awesome.

And, uh, just a fun, just a fun weekend. My streak at Southwest Airlines is over Hmm, I did 12 flights in a row. No seat in them next to me Oh, yeah, and and then it finally got broken It got broken in an annoying way where I was I wanted to tell the woman like like a no-hitter gets broken up on a blue Pit exactly. I was like you have better options on this flight. Like, what are you doing here? I want to be like, come on, you could find it. Maybe she watched access Hollywood and they were like, he's good.

I doubt it. I was a three for four this weekend. That's pretty good. And the one that there was somebody was the short leg from Denver to Bozeman. Okay. Yeah. So it was just like an hour or so, right? It's not too bad, but it's just a cool thing when you're on the road and

another comic, you know, is there. Yeah. And it's a more successful comic who can like take you out to lunch and stuff. So it's pretty funny. We hung out on the tour bus for a while and, uh, just a good weekend, man. Thank you to everybody who came out. I met a lot of people who were like, I'm going to see John tomorrow. And then I met a lot of people who said,

you know, they're trying to see all of us. They saw you were at the club not too long ago. Yeah. I said, they saw that and they said, they're going to go see Brian next time he's out there. So also good stuff. Thank you, Kansas city. All right. Well, I had no shows this weekend, but could have been working, could have been working obviously. But no, but last weekend I recorded my special. I did in Chattanooga at the Walker Theater and it was great. Really good. Two shows. Sold out. I think, you know, you probably could have squeezed a person or two in, but it sold out. Standing room? Yeah. But it was great. Just really fun shows. It was so smooth that it was really like we didn't even do that. The first one, the last time I'd never really done a special like that before,

so it just felt like there was a lot of pressure. But this year I've been doing theater, so I did the special. The first show was just smooth. The audience was hot, high energy, a lot of applause breaks, a lot of applause breaks where I'm not normally getting applause breaks. So was like, people were just excited. They were fired up. That's fun. And then, but it was good. It was good. I was like, I got it. I don't, and so the second show I was more relaxed, which was good because the energy was different. It was a different energy. Still, uh, very pumped, a lot of laughs, but like more like a regular show. Yeah. Uh, not an applause break after every joke.

But it was still, so I got looser. I did some riffing. Uh, you know, I came up with a couple of jokes during the show that were good. Okay. In the final cut. Yeah. That's fine. And then I had a good riff about a guy kind of wheezing in the audience And like people thought my friends thought I planted that guy

Yeah, I don't know how that came to me like it did but it was good. We hung out hung out the comedy catch The after party at the comedy. Okay Hung out with Danielle. I signed the wall in the green room. The Dusty Slave Memorial green room. Yeah. So it was great. It was all really fun. Chattanooga is great.

I love it. I got, you know, I meant to bring it. I got a letter from the mayor of Chattanooga. Whoa. And it was pretty funny. It was the mayor of Chattanooga is funny. He's got jokes. All right.

And so I meant to bring that, but I forgot, but. Just saying what? Like get out of town. Please leave. Or was it like a thank you for doing it? Yeah, thank you for doing it in Chattanooga. I had a lot of, um, you know, a lot of gifts, like a hat and a shirt and a glass. All right.

And then he was just being funny. Like, you know, I know that, you know, you know, you'd rather be in a Western Sizzlin' parking lot somewhere. Stuff like that. Wow, he's a fan. Yeah, he's very fun. Nice. That's awesome. So how long's the special gonna be?

A couple hours? Well, yeah, if I, cause the first one was a little over an hour, probably an hour five. Okay. And then the second one was definitely longer. And then I did riffs in the second one that I didn't do in the first one. So if I added those in, it would be pretty long, but I want to keep it.

I'm trying to make it under an hour. Okay. I want it to be 59 minutes. Wow. Just so it, it won't be, but I want it to be just so like when you're clicking around on, on whatever service that ends up on, we don't know where it'll be. We don't know. But clicking around, I feel like you're more inclined to watch something

that says 59 minutes than an hour 10. Yeah. But it'll probably be an hour 10. With the credits and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what I'll do at the end. I really liked the thing that we did at the end of the last one.

Uh, showing the pictures. The pictures. Yeah. And the video. Yeah. And then the video at the end. I really liked the thing that we did at the end of the last one. Uh, showing the pictures. The pictures and the video. Yeah. And then the video at the end, I got a video, a home video of myself as a kid telling some jokes. I think that might be fun, but I'm like, you know, you should show that Gene Hackman video, just end in sadness. Rest in peace. Do you have any theories about his death?

I mean, it's looking weird, huh? Well, it looked weird, but then I, it looks weird no matter what. Yeah. But people were trying to debunk it. They were like, there's no conspiracies. They're like, his wife just died seven days before him. Well, this is what the final thought is from people, that his wife. This is the mainstream accepted. Yes.

OK. His wife got some disease that you get from rodents. Mm-hmm. All right. And it killed her and she died in some room and Gene Hagman had Alzheimer's, like really far along Alzheimer's. Okay, he's 95. 95.

There he was, yeah. And they had three dogs. One of them was in a crate and the other two were running free. So they think for a week, Gene Hackman didn't take his medicine that he was on because his wife was the one who administered him the medicine. He didn't know what was going on. So his wife just laid in there for a week and then the dog was trapped in the crate and

probably he wasn't feeding it. And then he has a heart attack. laid in there for a week and then the dog was trapped in the crate and probably he wasn't feeding it and then he has a heart attack. Wow. Well, this sounds like the most tragic death imaginable. Yeah. Well, if you have Alzheimer's, I don't, I think that you just. Well, I meant for the family.

Yes. Yeah. But it's like, if you have Alzheimer's, the weirdest thing to me is like this guy, he's got to be very wealthy. You don't have anybody checking up on you and you have Alzheimer's. The weirdest thing to me is like this guy, he's got to be very wealthy. You don't have anybody checking up on you and you have Alzheimer's. Well, that's how big his house is that he didn't trip over in a week or something. Well, if he's like, if he's like, my grandmother had Alzheimer's and my grandmother, we'd go visit her at the nursing home and she wouldn't know certain people.

She'd be packing up. She's like, I'm about to go home. I mean, there's a possibility that he didn't even remember he had a wife. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. It's very sad. He was for all we know for a week, he was like, wow, it sure is peaceful around here.

So once the episode's over, tell me what really happened. Yeah. You just told us what everyone knows. Dusty. Well, uh, but it's still, it's just still sketchy to me that like, you got nobody, no nurse comes to see a gardener or somebody like no family. Because they said she might've been passed away for seven days before he passed away and then it was another seven days before they were found.

So for two weeks, nobody comes to check on you. That's sad to me. You could live a life like that, like Gene Hackman lived with these, he's like this well-respected actor. Everybody loves Gene Hackman. I don't know anybody that's like, I hate Gene Hackman.

But you got nobody checking up on you. That's a sad end. I think we might've talked about it on the podcast, but there was a story that went viral of an old woman who ordered Domino's every day, every day of her life, she ordered Domino's for lunch. And then one day she fell down and broke her hip and Domino's was like, Myrtle never called and they went and checked on her and found her. Wow.

So there's value in that, you know, just get takeout every day. Yeah. That way. Yeah. It's like having a nurse come to the built in support system. Yeah. You know, you're not going to get that with, uh, you know, with, uh, some of these other services, but an actual restaurant, that's right. It's like an Apple factor as much as we love.

Should we check out these comments there? Should we get started with the comments? Dusty, did you want to share? Well, I have a thing, but let's do it after the comments. Okay.

All right. Okay. It's not that important, but I just wanted to, I wanted to do a top five thing. Oh, okay. Maybe you'll be into it. I want to do top five Nashville coffee shops. I got into it the other day. Okay. And you give it'll give you some time throughout the comments to think about your favorite coffee

shops. Okay. And what what makes a good coffee shop for you? Yeah. You know. All right because I bet we have different things we're looking for. Yeah. Yeah. We may you know we're all married now and you know it's a a sure, sure nowadays. I think my wife goes to the coffee shop just to get out of the house for a while. You know? Yep. Okay. I'll be thinking about that.

That's fun. The comments come from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Apple podcast reviews, and Nate land at Nate bar getsy.com. First comment comes from Mike Myers fresh off of SNL 50 and the worst Elon Musk impression I've ever seen. Was it bad? Uh, I think it's terrible, but he's a legend. So what am I?

This is Mike Meyer. So Mike Meyer, sorry. This is one of them. Not the Halloween. It's just the one guy, Mike Meyer. I've really tried not to be too negative about dusty and Aaron, but they're like Beavis and butthead now it's like two middle schoolers with poor Brian as the substitute teacher, trying to maintain control, not to say they're

not funny as standups and separately they're just fine, but they're a bad influence on each other. And that is true. The last part, I think. Well, we're grown men, but, uh, who's Beavis and who's Butt-Head in this situation? I don't really know. That was not a show I was allowed to watch growing up. I wasn't allowed to watch it either, strangely, because I was basically allowed to do whatever. It's tough when Butt-Head's in the title. They're like, well, that's not what

we're looking for. It is a funny show, though. I've seen clips and I know what they look like. I don't think they look like either of us, but I guess. I mean, I think this guy, Mike Meyer is upset that me and you are enjoying ourselves and laughing and having fun. That's probably true. And Brian enjoys it too. I don't think Brian's trying to wrangle us.

No, I don't enjoy it. But then again, Brian does pick the comments. That's true. Yes. And he let off with this one. Thank you, Brian. I wanted to establish. I'm going to set the tone. Yeah, set the tone. Up top.

Elizabeth Bowerman, I feel 100% that an angel did pick up Aaron in Spokane. How awesome is that? I've heard similar testimonies. Yeah, I saw my sister about that. I didn't, I don't know this. I, well, I got real sick in Spokane I had to call 9-1-1 on myself took an ambulance to the ER and then on the way back to the hotel 6 a.m. No ubers. So I start walking towards the hotel and then

I lift shows up out of nowhere a guy just picked me up was a $2 $2 lift ride back to the hotel Wow, and I said it felt like an angel just showing up, give me a ride back. And I told my sister about that and she was like, did he talk to you at all? And I said, he didn't say a word. And she goes, yeah, that's what angels do. I was going to say, he's talking about his startup business. Give you his business card at the end.

Yeah. So who knows if it was, I appreciate it either way, either way. I'm grateful. That's very nice. Yeah. It was really, really nice. I want, either way. I'm grateful. That's very nice. Yeah. It was really, really nice. I want to thank that. You should have tipped him.

Remember that song. I tipped him really well, actually. Remember that song by Alabama angels among us? No angels now field. Now different, different thing. Yeah. But great song. Yeah.

Kids sing at the end. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. Mike Heath. Oh, Mike Heath. I know my underrated candy bar. Don't think I've it. Mike Heath. Oh, Mike Heath, I know Mike Heath. Underrated candy bar. Don't think I've ever had a Heath bar.

You've never broke into a Heath bar? Have you had it mixed into like a milkshake or something like that? I think that's where it shines. On its own, it's okay, it's pretty good. It's like a toffee. It's hard, it's got a little snap to it. But you mix it in with like a Blizzard or something. Heath is... I take your word on it.

Heath's the real deal. Well, Mike Heath, I know, very nice guy. How do you know? He's out of Seattle. Oh, okay. Mike Heath says, Aaron is in the first comic I've heard about getting sick while staying at that Spokane hotel. Did you eat at the hotel?

There may have been a disgruntled employee who has a vendetta against comics. I've been investigating this for over a year. If there's something afoot. It'll be exposed for what it is. I Can see a dusty liking this guy. Yeah, well fun. I'll tell you this This doesn't have I didn't get any kind of food poisoning thing But you know I I did a Tacoma Comedy Club and then the next weekend I was supposed to do Spokane and And I flew home and I got sick. And I was like, well, I don't wanna fly. I was like starting to get sick.

And I was like, I wanna give the club a heads up, but I don't wanna fly all the way to Spokane and then get sick and be sick all weekend. So we rescheduled the dates, we moved it, right? And I don't get sick a lot, right? But we moved it. And then the date came to fly to Spokane. And I flew, I don't know sick a lot, right? But we moved it. And then the date came to fly to Spokane and I flew, I don't know, Spokane or Spokane?

Spokane. Spokane. And I flew to Spokane, landed on a Thursday, I'm walking around on the streets and I call my wife and I go, I think I'm getting sick. In Spokane. In Spokane. And I ended up getting sick. I did a show on Thursday and I was like, I just need to get good sleep tonight. Yeah. And then I'll be fine. That night fire alarm goes off, wakes us all up. We have to go downstairs out of the hotel. And then, uh, so I think Mike's onto something here. And then I got, uh, I got, I did two

shows sicker than Thursday. And then I was, uh, I got, I did two shows sicker than Thursday. And then I was like, but I'll be fine on Saturday. Saturday I woke up. I was even sicker. I did the shows. I did all the shows sick. And by the end I was losing my voice. I had no voice basically on the last show, but I did five shows sick in

Spokane and it was great. They were great shows. I think they were really good, but I don't think the hotel did it, but. That's sketchy. Yeah. I did not eat at the hotel, so I don't know. I don't know what you got sick there in Spokane. I got sick there, man.

So you're throwing up. Oh, so bad. The worst, one of the sickest I've ever been in my life. And you went to the hospital with it. I mean, so maybe I'll ask you went to the hospital? Yeah, yeah. I mean, maybe I'll ask you this off the air. No, they tested me, yeah, negative for flu, negative for COVID, negative for RSV.

I think it was just a kind of norovirus that they were like, it doesn't really make sense to test and find out specifically what it is, but they gave me fluids, they gave me anti-nausea stuff. And I'm all better now, but it was pretty brutal. So I'd appreciate if you look into it, Mike, I don't know what kind of investigative capabilities you have on the ground there, but you know, go take a look. Yeah.

Figure out what the deal is. You know, I've had a couple of cigars with Mike. Oh, how about that? I bet he doesn't cough. Yeah. Next comment comes from SW Darby, SW Darby. This is a rare occasion where I'm on dusty side. Oh, geez. Aaron should re-release his old album.

I shared it with friends when he first put it on YouTube. Definitely some good bits in there. I was disappointed when I went to look for it again one day and it was no longer there. That's very nice. I like this person needed to. This whole comment is just basically I want Aaron to re-release this thing but they had to let them know that normally I don't agree with Dusty. Yeah, normally everything Dusty says is garbage. Yeah, but here

people say that a lot. People actually say that a lot about me. They go, normally I don't agree with him. Right. So I always think maybe look into the things you don't agree with me on and ask yourself why. Broken clock is right twice a day you know what they say. Yeah but but but with various things every you know people are people are finding right times of the clock all the way around you know so maybe they should be looking into why they don't agree with me yeah what's wrong with them. That's right they should look look at themselves. Look inwards. There was a Reddit thread I found, uh, recently about the podcast. You shouldn't look at the Reddit. I did. First it was, you know, it was basic criticisms and then

it turned pretty anti dusty pretty fast. And, uh, um, and I got pretty deep into it. And, uh, and then I was like, well, this is ridiculous. These people, they need to be off Reddit. They need to look into some of the things I'm saying and it will enhance their, it's mainly, they're mainly. They can find a lot of stuff you're saying on Reddit. That's for sure. Just go to different subreddits. They're just, a lot of them were anti-Christian

and they were real mad about my own personal podcast too. And I'm like, guys, we're just having a good time out here. Yeah, this is one of the rare occasions I agree with you. Yeah. That was good. Thanks man. David Hutchinson, I was on a flight from Cartagena, Columbia back to Atlanta from a wedding. Before we left I downloaded Dusty's special Working Man to watch. While the flight attendant was serving me a snack and a drink. She looked down and said, is that dusty sleigh? I said, yes.

She said, I love him. He's really funny. I need to watch his new special. I told her it was really great so far. Thanks, David Hutchinson. That's really, really fun. That's a rare occasion. I agree with David Hutchinson.

No, no, thank you. I appreciate that. Thanks for downloading it and for sharing it with you. Yeah, I agree with him. It was really great so far. The first five minutes, awesome. Yeah. Well, that is what you worry about with the special, right? Because for me, doing a special, I'm, you know, it's like, like I'm recording an album, right? We're like musicians. Some of my favorite musicians are like, like I'm recording an album, right? Where like musicians, some of my favorite musicians where are like, you listen to the whole album

and it almost flows together in a way. Not where you got one or two hits. So when I'm putting a special together, that's what I want. It's got a bit of a build to it. You're putting nuggets out there. So on the second half, you got callbacks coming in. I'm building this whole thing. And it's like, but people's

attention spans today, I mean, mine is no exception. If it's not just exactly what I want from the get go, I'm like, I'm out of here. And, uh, but I really liked the new one that I just recorded. I'm very excited about it. I think it's better than working man and I love working man. Wow. I'm very excited about it. It's a good feeling. That's awesome. So you did one in Knoxville and this one in Chattanooga. Yeah.

Next one in Memphis. Maybe Memphis, maybe Clarksville, maybe I'm going to, I'm going to work my way around and then go and end in Nashville. Oh, the Anaconda plan. Yeah. There's also, you know, there's a Johnson city.

Uh, I had some good shows there. There's lots of great cities in Tennessee. Yeah. Matt Adams says I went to dusty show in Chattanooga and my date night were an hour late. I was born and raised in Tennessee, but I now live in Huntsville, Alabama. Apparently I missed time zone day in school and only saw, I think you're supposed to say last, I only saw the last 25 minutes of Dusty's show,

but it was stellar. I've now seen all four of you guys perform and there's no one better or funnier than the very relatable content y'all share on stage. That's really nice. Thank you, Matt Adams. You know what, Matt? Don't feel too bad about that.

That happens to everyone. I've had people, last time I was in Chattanooga, I had some friends come and they almost missed it because the time change. I opened for Fortune Feimster in Chattanooga years ago, and they came to Chattanooga early to get dinner, but then had to skip dinner because they didn't know the time change.

My buddy, Vince Fabra, who opened for me on the special, the last time he did a show with me and Chattanooga he Was almost late to the show It's happening to people out here. Mm-hmm. I'm sorry. I'm texted. I just I left a I had Lucy's car key in my pocket I drove here. Mm-hmm. So that's what she's so Hospital with the baby You got her car keys, let's hope that doesn't happen in the next hour. So how is somebody driving her the key?

I don't know what she's doing. I think she'll have to figure it out. Yeah. Maybe she, yeah. Say figure it out. I can't do anything right now. Yeah. That's why Abigail stuck her head in the studio and said, where are Lucy's car keys?

And I'm like, I left them in her, and I reached in there in my pocket. So that's on me. You know, that's on me. Now I messed up, dude. Next comment comes from Chris wood. In order to get to the real truth regarding space. Here we go. What do you think about creating a go fund me to get dusty on board a blue origin

flight, maybe then we can really know if space travel is possible. What's Blue Origin? That's Jeff Bezos. That's the one that goes up on the edge of space and you're waitlist for... and you can pay a lot of money and do it. I don't want to go to the edge. I want to go straight up in there. Yeah. I want to go all the way. I want to go in. They... what do you mean in? I want to go away from Earth. I want to be able to look through the tube and through a window and see the ball. That's what I want.

I think that's what this is. Yeah, you can at least see the curvature. They're high enough to see the curvature. No, no, I want to see a full ball. How far away do you want to go from the earth? Far enough away to see the full ball. However, that however far that has to be. I don't think they can do that

on the space station, can they? I want to go farther than that then. The moon? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah the passengers see views of Earth from large windows that make up one-third of the capsule surface area so you get a great view. Passengers pass the Karman, which is the internationally recognized boundary of space. So, yeah, a lot of famous people, rich people have done this. So, I mean, we can pool our money again and get you out of the embassy.

This is the one that William Shatner did. Lasts about 11 minutes. You'll experience weightlessness. It'll be pretty fun. I think we'll make it happen. You know, those two astronauts are supposed to come home soon. Are they really? Yeah. How are they doing it?

SpaceX is sending a rocket up and I think... Seems like Blue Origin might be able to go up there and get them, huh? Well, they don't go that high. Apparently. So, sorry Chris. Maybe we save a little... maybe we take, uh, Katy Perry and, uh, um, you know, Gale King, Lance, Lance Bass. Those are the only two names I actually know Gale King and Katie. I didn't know they went.

Let me take them out of there and bring the astronauts back. I don't think it works quite like that, but it's good that we're getting them home. But that, but, but you know, the point point is though if we're able to go this high, right? but we have and you know, we have these people Jeff Bezos Elon Musk the richest man in the world and We got people stranded up in space. Let's go get them. What's what I just said we're doing Yeah, but why is it tookin this long though? That's what I'm saying I think it was prep here on the ground. Not that I think they were preparing these new astronauts to go and They couldn't go till they're ready

I don't know why we don't have people ready though I think we what's space up to i'm sure I don't know what space force is doing You know, you got you got to buy space ready like the fire department rescues a cat from a tree that's what yeah at least you know Within weeks be ready. I think if their life was in danger. We could have went immediately Yeah, that would have expedited things, but I think it's a little more complicated than jumping up and grabbing them Yeah, they'll need better help when they come You're trapped up there. Is it a man and a woman? Yeah. Yeah. Well, at least they're, you know, they're getting together or whatever because...

And it's not just them two up there. Yeah. There are other people. Oh, okay. How many? Maybe six, I think. Okay. And they're only supposed to be up there eight days or something? Mm-hmm. Something like that. Yeah. Now it's been eight months. Something like that. That's pretty crazy. Yeah. So funny how fast life changes. Real Gilligan's Island up there. Yeah, a little bit, a little bit. An eight day tour. Oh yeah, that was pretty good. Yeah, that wasn't bad. Skipper. It feels like everything is more expensive now.

He needed to stay in the NICU for a little while, while his lungs got stronger. At the same time, my buddies called to tell me they had a ticket for me to game four in Atlanta. I had never been so nervous to go and make the ask. She gave me 24 hours to get down there and back. The Braves won 3-2 and our son, Miles, is doing awesome today.

Wow. That's a good story. It's a really great story. I'm trying to think about how I would have. I jokingly said when your baby was born that you were at a Braves playoff game. Yeah, you did. Some people took it serious. I got some nasty comments about it.

Yeah. I'm just trying to think of how I would have approached asking my wife like, you know, our baby's in the hospital, but Dip out for a day. Yeah, go watch the Braves game 24 hours, honey. I would have been timing That have been tough man, that's a tough ask dude you should you could say I'm gonna go home and take a shower and And then head to Atlanta then drive back that night. Yeah. I'll tell you what, I'm going to head back, grab a few things, take a shower.

Yeah. You need me to grab you anything? I'll grab you lunch on the way back. Yeah. And then, you know, traffic gets bad or something later that day. That's crazy, man. Yeah. I admire your deal.

I don't know how you figured out how to do that, but that's, uh, that's a lot. Congratulations on a good story on your boy doing well. That's awesome, man. That's awesome. Is miles, uh, Braves baseball player. Can we link it miles Hill? Yeah. Uh, I mean, I'll scare it, but he's a football player.

Yeah. Yeah. David Brooks. I want to make a video compilation of all the amazing jokes that Dusty casually makes that gets completely swept under the rug. It's literally once an episode. He's got to be the best free agent signing in podcast history. Yeah.

Thank you, David. David, gosh, I would love for you to make that video. Yeah, he's not gonna, but. That would be such a good video. I wish someone would make that video. I mean. I think it'd be a lot shorter than you think. I'd crush it on this podcast. I think it'd be a 30-second video. And then there's guys on Reddit going, yeah, he interrupts everybody. I can't watch it anymore because of him. He loves Jesus. They hate it.

Yeah. They hate it. It's funny because every social media platform has a different vibe. Facebook fan pages like, I wish they talk about God more. And Reddit's like, that's all they talk about. They love me on Reddit. As if there are not a lot of podcasts where people are not talking about that sort of stuff.

I mean, it is practically all of them. Yeah. All right. Next comment comes from Tanner Gutenson. This is one of the, one of the Gutenson quintuplets. Oh. Gutenson from Montgomery, Alabama. They are the first set of all male quintuplets born.

How many is Quinn? Eight? Five. Okay. Yeah. That would be octuplets. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tanner Gudinson. How is it Quinn though? How's it not pent, like it's a pentagram, a five sided star?

Well, there's twins, triplets, and then what's the next one? Quadruplets, quintuplets, then sextuplets. I think. But why do we go Quinn with it and not Pint? I don't know. Pintagon? Pentuplets. I don't know why we didn't do that. Why Quint not Pint?

Yeah, because it's from, well, Reddit is blocked on this, but Quint, uh, comes from the Latin word, Quinquay, meaning five rather than the Greek root for five, which is Penta. Okay. So it's Latin versus Greek. Okay. For some reason for, for that stuff we get, we go, uh, we go Latin. Yeah.

Hmm. I like it. That's pretty fun. Yeah. for that stuff, we go Latin. Yeah, I like it. That's pretty fun. Yeah. Tanner, Gutentzen says,

after being a long time listener of the podcast, you guys really motivated me to try my hand at doing standup. Oh God, I'm sorry about that, Tanner. Life was going so well. Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude. There was an open mic at a local bar slash cafe here in Montgomery, Alabama,

so I thought I'd give it a shot. I didn't do bad. I didn't murder, but most important, I didn't flop got three or four good laughs out of the eight minutes I was given. Jeez. Eight minutes. It's crazy, dude. That's so much time for an open mic.

Yeah. I admire you for doing all eight. That's crazy. Thank you guys for being so informative on the podcast and I look forward to many more episodes. Well, congrats, Tanner. Yeah, it's a big, it's a big first step. I've only done a couple of shows in Montgomery and one of them was pretty good.

Kind of a jazz bar downtown Montgomery. Downtown's really changed since I lived there. Yeah. The fact that you would do anything downtown. Yeah. It's changed. I did get a hotel downtown one time and I sat out on the, uh, some chairs and smoked a cigar and it was pretty scary. It was mainly a city scary to me when it's just like empty, like there's just no one outside, just an occasional people walking and you're like, is this okay? Yeah.

Am I supposed to be out here right now? We were out there at midnight. Uh, probably pretty late. occasional people walking and you're like, is this okay? Yeah. Am I supposed to be out here right now? We were out there at midnight. Probably pretty late. Yeah. Midnight at Montgomery, Ghost of Hank Williams. Oh, I don't know that. Is that a song? Yeah. Alan Jackson.

Alan Jackson. Oh, how about that? It's a really good song. Hank Williams from Montgomery, right? Yeah. Big time. Tanner. So Tanner has, what'd you say, four? He's got four brothers.

That's good. That's good. That's good joke writing stuff. I was about to say he's up there. He's like, God, I just don't have anything to talk about. What makes me unique? Yeah, I just don't know. And if you're not feeling well, one of your siblings can just fill in for you. Yeah, they're not identical though.

Oh, okay. But I think they'd look, I mean, I think they're pretty close, but I think it's only identical if it's two or can there be four and There's two sets of identical. I don't know how it works. Triplets can be identical. They can't? No because the The cell can only the egg can only split In two. That makes sense. I thought I'd seen triplets all three I don't think I don't think there, I mean I could be completely wrong about

this and I'm sure I'll be corrected but I think that, I think the triplets cannot be identical. Hmm. Let me look this up. Okay, yes, triplets. Okay. Okay, here it is. Here we go. Okay. He's backtracking, but he's going to identical triplets occur when a single fertilized egg splits into three separate embryos. That means all babies will share the same

genetic makeup, blah, blah, blah. The probability of having identical triplets is extremely low estimated at about one in 200 million, one in 200 million pregnancies. Yeah. I know a few. So this is the least common identical triplets is, okay.

So. Hey, just admit you're wrong. Geez. Look, I admit the, the way I said it was, I think it's, look, I think I'd like to see it happen, but. I'd like to see it happen. I'd like to see it happen too. All right.

I, for some reason, I thought that that was, all right. All right. You know, you live and you learn. All right for some reason I thought that that was All right. All right, you know you live and you learn. Mm-hmm. You live and you learn that's how it works That is true, but I don't think that they're all I don't think an educational podcast I don't think that these the Guten sons are identical. Are they I don't think so Okay, because I think if how did you know that that he's part of that I mean, they're just not a lot of good and stones out there. You think are you

Yeah, dylan mcgumray when you were a kid Or no, I hadn't heard of until they wrote into the podcast. Okay a couple years ago Yeah, we talked about him and we talked about him and then uh, I think they've been mason's one of their names They were on the they're on the tonight show at one point Yeah, they put up some talk shows because it was a big deal when they were born, but I had, I hadn't heard of them. Was this, uh, IVF or was this just natural that they just happened to be? I don't know. I have no idea.

Quintuplets occur naturally in one in 55 million births. How about that? I mean, it's just wild. I mean, I can't imagine. I think about everything with the one baby. Yeah. Then if we had just had, I have four more, dude, that'd be a lot. It would have been a really big deal if I brought the car keys here by accident.

Left my wife, five babies. With five babies, you might not even be allowed to do the podcast. No, I think I have to quit comedy Yeah, I don't know what I would do. Hmm. I probably leave you'd have so much material though. Just leave Yeah, just drive away and never check. Yeah kidding. I encourage my neighbor to do that My neighbor you encourage your neighbor to leave his family. I had a neighbor Honestly, dude, he's done bail. He's done that before. You should bail.

Well, they were already getting divorced, this couple. They got divorced and they moved out. And he has two kids by two different women. They'd never been married. And now this is his third kid with this woman. And it seems like none of the women let him see his kids right not very much whether it's his fault or not I don't know I don't know in here I don't know any of that but he just never really gets to see the kids and he he

repairs air conditioners I told him I said man he was all sad about it and I go man you should just get out of here and go to Florida and just live out your life. I said, cause he's, he's going to run himself ragged. Where's the better help ad? And they won't, although they won't let him see his kids. And he, he was so sad. I was like, dude, there are so many air conditioners that need to be repaired in Florida. I was like, you could get out of here and just be happy.

Wow. That's the worst advice. It may be, but the guy was very sad. How's he doing now? He's gone. He's just a sports. Oh God. He moved away.

He moved away. I don't know. Because of your suggestion. No, they were, he were getting divorced and they had to move out of the house. Okay. So I know you say, if you don't have kids, go ahead and get divorced, but in this case. Well, his wife's leaving him. Okay. So. I know you say if you don't have kids, go ahead and get divorced, but in this case. Well, his wife's leaving him. Okay.

And they're gonna make it hard for him to see his kid. Yeah. Really hard. And I just think. Well, he's making it easy on them. I would just think, you know, you just go ahead, take off, reconnect with the kid later in life and go, your mom would love to see you.

All right. That may be terrible. I think that's terrible. Do you? But what if, you know, your wife was leaving you and she would not, she made it very hard for you to see the kid and was making your life really miserable.

Is it helpful for you to be trying to just keep trying? Because you don't know what's happening behind the scenes. Men or women, this is not a comment on women, men or women, you don't know what's happening behind the scenes and how are they talking about you when you're not around. They're painting a picture of you anyway, I just think. I don't know. If it's a cool divorce. If you just take off, it's gonna verify what the wife said know. If it's a cool, if you just take off, it's going to verify what the wife said. But if it's a cool divorce where you're just like, Hey, we're not getting along, but we still want to, you know, I know a guy, him and his,

his ex wife live in the same house. They've, they have like a duplex sort of situation. They're divorced, but the kids are still right there in one house. Wow. That's interesting. I've never heard of that. That is interesting. Yeah, I don't know. I feel like I'd wanna be there for my kid, but every situation's different.

I'm not trying to judge anybody. But listen to all the details though. He's already got two. Yeah, I get it. And the women are not letting him see the kids for whatever reason, and maybe they're right for it. But I'm just saying, I'm not saying, I'm just making a comment. You just wanted him out of the house.

Cause he, he's moving no matter what. I saw the guy, they got, he's crying every day. And I just was like, you got to take care of yourself here. All right. Matthew Pittman says, I got my tickets for dusty this Friday and Saturday and Brian Saturday night. I'm not encouraging people to leave their kids. I know you're not.

I know you're not. Except for this case. I'm all about the family. Dusty's all about family. I'm all about the family unit. Of course. But once the family unit's broken, the way things work, it's very hard. And if the two parties are not working together, then it's going to be disastrous.

Well, you can hear more about this dusty show this Friday night and the rebuttal Saturday night from Brian are both going to be in Boston at the same time. Oh, how about that? Very excited. Couple of Southern boys. You got two show, you got two nights, right? Yeah. I'm there Friday, Saturday.

I got one show Friday. So Aaron, let me ask you this. Dusty shows at seven, my shows at eight. Which one do you think will be over first? I think it'll be pretty close. I gotta work on new material. So I'll have to start working in new jokes to the old jokes. There you go.

It's bound to expand. Yeah, I think right around the same time. Yeah, that's what I think too. That's what I think too. It's bound to expand. Yeah. I think right around the same time. Yeah. That's what I think too. That's what I think too. It's bound to expand. You know, there's a lunar eclipse that night, so we could hang out and see a lunar eclipse. We should. We should do cigars.

Yeah. I wouldn't commit to any of this stuff. I think you're going to end up picking up Brian from the airport. No, I got a rental car. Oh, did you? Can you pick me up? See how this feels, Brian? Cause I don't know, man.

I got a lot playing that. Yeah. Boston's a fun city. I'm there. I'm there in a couple of weeks. So a lot of Nate land taking over Bean town. Let me ask you this, Aaron. Yes.

A lunar eclipse. That's when the earth is between the moon and the sun. I can't remember which one's which. Yeah. I guess what I don't understand is, and I said this on the Eclipse episode, I don't understand, that happens every month. I feel like every day about one there's at least a partial eclipse. Yeah, well it mean that it's right on, right on us though. Like it's not gonna be a lunar eclipse here. Is it gonna be one in Boston? I think the whole US experienced it a lunar eclipse here. Is it going to be one in Boston?

I think the whole US experienced it. A lunar eclipse. I don't know. I tapped out after that. We saw the eclipse. Okay. I wiped all eclipse information from my brain. Okay. After Nate asked if it's the sun coming between the moon and the earth.

I hope to God that doesn't happen. It does. Hopefully the moon's really far away. We miscalculated the moon. Either way, things are about to get different real quick. If the sun comes between the earth and the moon, there's a partial solar eclipse later this month coming through Nashville. No, it seems like they happen all the time.

I know. I do happen to time. It's, I think only like maybe New England can see some of it, but if you're out in the ocean, I think you could see it all. Full totality? Yeah, I think so. That's pretty fun. And I read today cicadas are coming back. Oh man. Oh man. That's why it's always, they're always like, oh, once in a lifetime thing, and then next year it's happening. It's a different brood. They're like, oh, these, these things are going extinct. And the next thing you know, they're like, there's too many of them. I don't know if anybody's claimed cicadas or no, but they do say that.

They said it about bees and then they were like, well, isn't bees, isn't that a real problem? I think bees are, I mean, I think it is probably because like a lot of like wifi and stuff is what they say and 5G is messing with the bees. Pesticides and things like that. All that, yeah, but it's like even all that. 5G.

Well, it's like, it's a signal, right? So it's out here, right? Whether it's bad or not, we don't know, but it's out here, it's a signal. It's obviously shooting something into your computer somehow that you can magically pull up information. So it's out there. Maybe the bees are sensitive to it, you know?

Okay. And they're getting thrown off where to go and stuff? Yeah. All bad things don't have to be intentional. That's what everybody thinks. If you go, oh, 5G is affecting, everybody goes, oh, you think everybody's trying to kill you with 5G? And I'm like, I just think there could be unintended consequences.

Some studies suggest that 5G technology could harm bees. The scientific consensus is that more research is needed. Bit of a cop out. Why don't we keep looking at it? Exactly. Higher frequencies used in 5G can heat the insects bodies, affecting their health and behavior. Yeah.

When I was a kid, I was a little bit of a sicko. I put insects in the microwave and killed them. And it doesn't take very long at all. So, that's all the studies that need to be done. So I'm saying this 5G is a bit like microwaves. They do say like our cell phones has a little bit of microwave, a little bit of radiation. This is saying other factors such as habitat loss, pesticides, disease, and climate change have a greater impact. I would take climate change off the list and then all the others are what's really affecting it.

Okay. Can't they all play a little bit of a role? I don't really, I don't know, but, uh, but you know, habitat loss and I think if we, you know, we're just building too fast, we're just bulldozing woods down all the time. I love the study from Harvard right here. Building too many things. I got a hand to you, Dusty. I didn't know this was, uh, this was being talked

about so much. We got a study from Harvard. That's probably where you learned about it. That's right. Well, you check in regularly on Harvard studies? What was the quote that I heard? This is a rare occasion when I'm on dusty side. That was a quote that I heard earlier.

But the problem is people are afraid to have speculation now. They don't want to speculate. Yeah, I don't think you should speculate. Right? To be specul- Specul- No, to be skeptical. Skeptical, that's what I mean. You don't think you should speculate. Right? To be speckley, speck it. No, to be skeptical. Skeptical. That's what I mean. You don't want to speculate. You're great at speculating. Yeah. What's speculating mean? Speculating means just, just make a guess based on nothing.

Oh yeah. I think we should do that too. That's your mantra. Yeah. Uh, yeah, for sure. Yeah. Do both. Be skeptical and specular. No, make an educated guess, research it, figure out and have the guess based on it. I've always said, guess first, guess first, research second.

Research to back up your guess. Guess, see who it lands with. Yeah. Okay. That's your people. Yeah. Throw out a gas test, the water a little bit. Yeah.

Yeah. We all need a good support system. Am I right? Good support. You guys are my support system and I appreciate it. Yeah. Who's yours? Um, my family, I guess.

Yeah. Yeah. Your wife. Uh, but when they fail us, it's good to have a therapist. A society that glorifies hyperindependence. It's easy to forget that we're all better when we have a support system behind us. Therapy. Excuse me.

Support system on that cough. Therapy can be a source of support for any area of your life. It's time to shift the focus from doing it all to knowing that we're better when we ask for help. It's helpful to learn positive coping skills and how to set boundaries. Empowers you to be the best version of yourself. We all want to be the best version of ourselves, right?

You gotta be. I don't even know what that is. I don't think we do either. You gotta find out with better help. It isn't just for those who've experienced major trauma. Therapy is for everyone. Life can be hard and it's great knowing you're not alone and you can have an amazing support system. Nate does therapy, but as I always say, don't hold that against better help.

What coffee shops do you enjoy guessing the best at?

Oh, okay. Here we go. This is me. You know what? This is what happened to me. I went to a coffee shop the other day, and they said, thanks for the shout out on the podcast. And I had no idea, but apparently I had shouted them out. But they are good.

I go there a lot. So I said to Hannah, let's do top five coffee shops in Nashville. And then, um, Why don't you do this on your podcast? Well, I've not been doing my podcast. Yeah. Now we have to sit through it.

So I'm putting more energy into this one. Okay. So I thought we could, you know, You sure you don't want to save this to get Nate's thoughts when he's back next week? Well, you know, when Nate's not here, that's when I bring in different things. Cause Nate, you know, he's got a lot to talk about. Yeah. So I thought we know, he's got a lot to talk about. Yeah. So I thought we get some feedback from people.

There's a lot of people that live in Nashville. Yeah. Let's see. What are some of their favorites? And even if you're not in Nashville, you can, yeah, yeah. Maybe. Comment on YouTube and tell us what your favorite coffee shops are. Mm-hmm.

And also, if you're not in Nashville, you're in other cities, tell us where the good coffee shops are. We're on our way there anyway. Yeah, this is surprising because you don't, and I hope this doesn't come out wrong or mean, you don't seem like a coffee shop guy. I love a coffee shop. You seem like you get coffee from a gas station. You drink it black out of a styrofoam cup and you know, it's a means to an end. Well, that's the thing about me.

I, uh, you're a man of complex. I do like black coffee, but I don't drink out of styrofoam or paper anymore. Sometimes you have to, but I take my, I like to get my own mug. I don't bring in your own mug to a coffee shop. Well, you know, a lot of times they don't like you to do that. So, so what I'll do, they pour it in the paper and then I pour it into my, okay. These are dusty top five coffee shops that let some bring in his own money but

You know, but it has changed for me what I used to like when I lived in Charleston I'd go to kudu coffee coffee shop downtown Yeah, and they had a lot of seating and then you could you know, you drink coffee eat an oatmeal cookie They had a great oatmeal cookie that I like oatmeal raisin cookie. Oh, this was a bar too Well, they started serving coffee and craft beer, but, uh, that's what got you in the door. No, no, I was going there as a sober person. Oh, okay.

And so I would walk down, I lived downtown. I walked down there, have some, uh, coffee. There was always attractive women in there and it was just a good artsy spot to sit and write some jokes. I love, I wrote a little chess. I wrote a lot of making that fudge, uh, that album at Cudu coffee. Yeah. So, okay.

So it is a satanic logo there. It is a goat, uh, because I had a problem with it too, but apparently it's a, but it's a goat, you know, like a deer slash goat. Sure. Wow. I laughed earlier when you knew five was, was pit. And then you gave me the example of pentagram was like, Oh, yeah, that's how he knows the Pentagon either way. Yeah. Two things that she's on. They have a similar name like that. Okay. All right. So it should have been the quintagon. As with all of these, you know, I got

a, I got a, I got a couple of extras. Um, so I'm going to go, this was Hannah's, she loves this place. We have to hear Hannah's top five. I'm not a huge coffee shop. This one is makes back next week, folks. This is crema coffee in Brentwood crema. I think it's a chain, a bit. Okay. But apparently they have very good coffee. I'm not that into it.

Okay. But shout out. It may had us less. Good Kramer. There's one, uh, one downtown. I should take Lucy her key now. Well, this might be a good time. I'm sorry.

Have some culture about yourself. Okay. You're right. You're right. Okay. All yourself. Okay, you're right. You're right. Tell us about it. Okay, so, and then there is, this is gonna be, this is gonna be number five.

All right. I'll have an honorable mention. Barista Parlor, I like the one in East Nashville. It's a good spot. It is pretty artsy. And you know, they, I wrote a joke about it one time because they gave me my black coffee in like a beaker and then they give you a cup and then you go sit down and then it's this place. But it's a nice spot and they have very good coffee. That's what I'm looking

for is good coffee. Tom Hanks was spotted there once. Was it? Yep. Barista Park, they have one of these at the airport by the way. Yeah, that's a good one. Okay. Then I like that they have a lot of these, but I'm a big fan. The Frothy Monkey. I'm a big fan. I like the one on 12 South. It's always busy. Surprised you like the vibe in there, man. Well, that- Frothy Monkey is like the go-to example of kind of like a, I don't know, I'm trying to figure out the best way to say this. Like, uh, nine dusty. Yeah. Kind of like the opposite of dusty.

That's who it would be. But that's the thing. That's who's making the best coffee. Okay. If it's all a bunch of dudes that I really like, it's not going to be good coffee. Yeah. Coffee at auto zone. Yeah.

Yeah. No, I, you know, but they have an artistic vibe. I like a real artistic vibe. Okay. Number two. Uh, I, you know, but they have an artistic vibe. I like a real artistic vibe. Okay. Number two, this is in Donaldson, the Sunshine Bakehouse. Okay. It's a vegan place, which I'm not vegan,

but when there's a vegan vegetarian place. I told you about this place. Yeah. They're usually, oh, it's Sunflower Bakehouse. We always get it wrong's Sunflower Bakehouse. We always get it wrong. Sunflower Bakehouse, a vegan vegetarian place. They at least have, they do a good job with that stuff. I want to eat meat, but I don't need to eat at every meal. Fun story about the Sunflower Bakehouse is a vegan bakery.

And I went there with Lucy and have all these cupcakes that just look unreal. And I was like, and Lucy goes, you know, they're everything free, gluten free, whatever free. So I was like, sugar. I thought they were sugar free. So I bought I bought like three huge cupcakes and I ate them over the course of two days and I was like, I can't believe these are sugar free. And she's like, sugar might be the only thing still in there. Yeah. Yeah.

They keep it sugar. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're doing a lot of sugar, but I like this spot. It's a fun spot. They're good. They're good.

All right. Uh, here we go. Number two. Oh, I thought that was two. Okay. This is number two. All right. Headquarters on Charlotte Avenue. This is on the west side. Tiny little coffee shop and very good coffee. Okay.

Very good. Downtown Nashville. No, no. It's like on the west side, like on Charlotte Avenue. Yeah, it's downtown. Yeah. Charlotte Pike. Near where you used to live. Yeah, really good spot though. Okay. What they're showing you is not what it's going to look like

when you go in there. It's all these pictures make it look really nice. It's pretty tiny place. All right. Honorable mention. McDonald's. Red bicycle in Germantown. Okay, I've heard of red bicycle. Very good, very good spot. All right, number one, this is my favorite spot. And, but you know, they're doing a little something there that really ups it. They make a sourdough bread. Okay.

I go there on Wednesdays and get a loaf of sourdough bread. Wow. It's very good. And they have a lot of bakery things that are very good. And they have good coffee. This is going to be flour your dreams in Hermitage. Flour your dreams, bakery and cafe. Very good. We go there at least once a week. We get bread, we get coffee. Okay, I was about to ask how do you have time with two kids to go to all these coffee shops but you're all go

we'll all go or we'll take turns. You give your kids coffee yet? No, no, no, but they do eat a lot of bread. You'll see these kids man at the airport and stuff. Oh yeah. Like a four or five year old was like one of those. I don't even know what you call them. I don't even know how to order one at Starbucks but one of those like it's basically a milkshake with coffee in it. See these like four or five year old kids with it. It's crazy, dude.

Yeah, my kids- I don't think I had coffee till college. Get all sorts of treats, but I try to keep it, I try to keep it back from them. Yeah, no, just nicotine and stuff? Like, yeah, I kinda like, like yesterday I was eating ice cream in the kitchen while they were in the bath, and I was like, like,, you know, you would think why I should share with my kids.

Right. But I'm like, I don't want to destroy their stomachs. Like mine's destroyed. I'll just keep destroying mine and I'll try to protect them. So that's sweet. You'll give them the gift of a cautionary tale. That's a good thing for a parent to give a kid. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I was, I enjoyed that more than I thought. I would. That's a good list. It's a good thing for a parent to give a kid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was I enjoyed that more than I thought I would That's a good list. You gotta let me run with things. Okay. Yeah, we let you do it. Yeah, we let you do it So, I mean, what's the next list? I like to maybe make my own next time Yeah, what you know because for me now like I was saying before with the kuda I used to go there and I'm looking to write jokes I'm looking for some inspiration I like when people are in there that way you can see them in, in, in, in,

in the, I don't know, it's just something to look at, something to write about. Right. Uh, but nowadays I'm looking for, do you have some healthy bakery options? Okay. But who listening to this podcast? Excuse me. It's going to find this interesting. So many people. Why would they find your top five coffee shops in Nashville interesting? Well, maybe they

live in Nashville. Okay. And they're looking for a coffee shop. I mean, this, this whole podcast is just stuff like that. Somehow, but it's usually shops. You guys are like, no, it's not. It's broad where everybody can share. It's not like we postponed a conversation about Congress to talk about this. We're talking about nonsense, but coffee. So I get that. Uh, I agree with both of you somehow, but

Nashville is a, a tourist destination for now though. So I get that. I agree with both of you somehow. But Nashville is a tourist destination for now, though. No people coming here are going to want to go to the good coffee shops. And then we also have a lot of Nashville listeners. So this applies. Listen, there's more people going to Nashville coffee shops than there are, you know, that, you know, want to hear about, you know, some of the things we talk about. But I like the podcast, so I don't criticize the things we talk about.

Right. But I'm just saying, let's not act like, let's not act like this subject is. Coffee is important to people. Yeah, I think so too. Coffee is a drug. Yeah, we should, I wish I know, we could have done an episode on coffee should've, I wish I'd known. We could've done an episode on coffee. We could've done a coffee episode. We'd never done a coffee episode?

No. I think we should get people to comment in, comment on YouTube, tell us what your favorite coffee shops are and why you like them. And also, I'll do this. Do you agree with Brian? Do you think that- Mike Meyer does. Yeah. I mean, you know, but, but,

you know, and also I just want you to take note because everybody says how mean everyone is to Brian. Look how mean Brian's being to me. That is trying to be nice to the listeners. I'm just saying everybody's always like, Oh, everybody's so mean to Brian, but I'm just saying everybody can be mean sometimes. I don't drink coffee. I mean, I do with a curing. Well, that's what this comes from. He doesn't drink coffee. No, I do drink coffee.

I'm sorry. I don't go to coffee shops because I have a family that I love, but I'm glad you guys have time. But when I was in Winterhaven recently. That's what I was trying to get to though. There's different, there's things that are more important to me now, like good bakery items. Okay.

Because that are healthy that I can take to my kids. Okay. Anyway, when you were in Winterhaven. When I was in Winterhaven, someone gave me some coffee. Where's Winterhaven, New Jersey? Florida. Okay. Anyway, when you were in winter. When I was in winter Haven, someone gave me some coffee. Where's winter Haven, New Jersey? Florida. Okay. Close.

I'm thinking, okay, I don't know what I'm thinking. Anyway, I was thinking New Haven, but that's Connecticut, right? Yeah. Anyway, someone gave me some coffee. I think it was called Haven. It was the best coffee they said in winter Haven. Okay. And I gave it to, I'm not a coffee connoisseur.

My brother-in-law is, and he texted me yesterday. He was like, it was great. He said it has a fruity pebbles in it. Has a fruity pebble taste. Oh, we don't have actual chunks of fruity pebbles in the coffee. That'd be bizarre. That would be bizarre. Yeah.

All soggy and your filter up there. Oh, I think fruity pebbles is when it gets a little soggy, that's when it's the best. Oh, I'd never wanted a little soggy. I liked it. I like it crunchy. I like it about, I don't eat it anymore. About 75% of the way through the bowl. That's when it's the best, when it's a little, a little bit of that

milk worked its way in. When I used to eat Fruity Pebbles, you have the bowl, right? And you eat it from the side almost, and you work your way in. So as you get in, you do have a crunchy and a little bit of a soggy bite. That's what I'm saying. You gotta get the right consistency. That is good.

It's pretty special. The, you know, we went to that coffee place in Huntsville. I forget the name of that place, but- Oh yeah, it's like German coffee. Yeah, it's kind of a complicated name, but that, they sell a lot of coffee. They only have name, but that E, they sell a lot of coffee. They only have one thing brewed, but they sell a lot of coffee and it's really good.

I forget what it's called, but if you're to look coffee in Huntsville, just look for the hardest, I was just telling people, look for the hardest one to spell, and then you'll be like, okay, this is it. Bust up, harder than that. No, it's like- Benyazen brew than that. No, it's I been yays and brew No, I thought it was a German name. Was it not?

The cozy cow white but why is it not coming up? I mean dust all coffee house It looks German man. Yeah, I don't even think that looks German. All right, let's do hold on. I'm gonna do top five in Huntsville real quick All right, let's do, hold on, I'm gonna do top five in Huntsville real quick. Tell me Hannah's top five in Huntsville. But also you want to get an, you want to try to get organic coffee, organics important. And then you want to try to get a mold free. Apparently there's a lot of mold on coffee. And then Keurig's, this is the problem with Keurig that I found. I met the guy who invented Keerig.

He's very wealthy, huh? He's doing all right. Yeah. I think he regrets doing it. I bet he does. He's ruined coffee. Well, I don't think, I think it's a pollution thing. This is the problem with, if you get the,

I've probably talked about this before. The farmer's almanac will tell you what plastics are safe for human consumption, you know, like safe to be used for food and what you're not. Mm-hmm. If you get the, you know, you get Starbucks K cups and they say they're safe for human consumption or whatever, right?

But they're not organic. You can't find any organic ones. Yeah. But if you buy the organic ones at the grocery store, which was what we were doing, I looked up that plastic, that plastic, not safe for food, for humans. So you have this plastic cup that you're dropping down in, hot water is pouring into this plastic,

and then it's just spilling into your coffee, and then you're just drinking it. Dang. I'm out on Keurig. Do you have Keurig here? Yeah, I use it all the time. Yeah. It's awesome.

We just got rid of ours at, at, in our house. Yeah. We're out on it now. I don't know how to use a regular coffee maker. I don't either. So the Keurig is pretty awesome too. Yeah. And it works.

And it works every time. We have a little grinder. We put our beans in there. We grind the coffee. Nice. Each morning, fresh ground. Yeah. Put it in the-

It definitely tastes better. Yeah. That's for sure. Yeah, but I'm not- it's a means to an end to me. Yeah. We put our beans in there, we grind the coffee each morning, fresh ground, put it in the thing. It definitely tastes better. Yeah. That's for sure. Yeah, but I'm not, it's a means to an end to me. Yeah. It's like, I'm just trying to down it. Oh, see, I'm enjoying it.

Yeah, I'm not trying to enjoy things. I'm trying to be miserable. What if I told you the most important part of your spring cleaning routine is your sock drawer? I wouldn't believe you.

There we go. Here's what people are looking for. This is what they're waiting for. Dude. Well, you know, we did an episode recently on fairy tales. And people enjoyed it.

People really enjoyed it. So I texted you guys and said, Hey, what do you guys think we talk about? Folk tales. And we didn't respond. You guys, let me check. Dead silence as usual. So thanks guys. Dusty was too busy making his honorable mention for his kids

in a coffee shop. So this week we're talking about folktales. I love it. Let's get into it. I love it too. Now you're going to talk about the difference between a folktale and a fairy tale? Yeah, I mentioned that a little bit on the fairy tale episode, but fairy tales usually, you know, it's more good versus evil narrative. There's usually some magic involved, some mythical creatures. Folk tales are more based on something a little real that just gets embellished or. Like Amelia Earhart, something like that. Well, I was thinking of trying to think of some

modern day folk tales, folk heroes. And so like real historical things that have been mythologized in some way. Like some some of them like Paul Bunyan there's nothing you know he didn't step and make the Grand Canyon. There was never a giant guy who made the Finger Lakes with his hand? I bet some of that stuff got exaggerated but I bet there was a Paul Bunyan character. Well there was, there was, there was a guy, a lumberjack named Fabian Fornier. Paul Bunyan was his name. Fridge Canadian Timberman.

And it said that this is in the, uh. Fabian Fornier. Fabian Joe, his nickname was Joe. That's like M's Joe going bark. Yeah, exactly. But it said in that time. Hey Fabian, I'm going to call you Joe. Let's see, years active.

So he immigrated to the United States, worked as a lumberjack in Michigan. He's the man who inspired Paul Bunyan in at least some part. He was an infamous brawler getting fights left and right. Now this says, um, this is in the 1800s. It says he was six feet tall, which at the time the average man barely cleared five feet. Okay. So, so this is the equivalent of like seven foot.

Yeah. Okay. That's pretty crazy though that we've grown a foot in the last. I don't believe that people always say it. And it's just something in me that I just don't believe that we were all just shorter people. What do you think with all the steroids they're putting in our foods that that would make us that you get on board with that, right? Yeah, I mean, to some degree, but I just, I just don't know

why we would be getting taller. I don't know, maybe because diarrhea doesn't wipe out like a whole town now. Yeah, like health has gotten better and you know, nutrition's way better and all that kind of stuff. Well, I don't know if nutrition's better, but I just don't. A one ibuprofen pill would have like started a war 200 years ago. And now I have 5,000 in my pantry. Like, I don't know. The world's gotten better.

I just don't know how it's making us get taller though. That's what I'm saying. I mean, I agree that, that, that, you know, we don't have dysentery out here. Yeah. But. Yeah. I don't know. I just, you know, I'm just asking.

I have no idea. Uh, so don't we have the skeletons of people from back then and we can see how tall. Do we have them all? No, but I don't. Do we trust the researchers? What possible motive could someone have to lie about the average height?

I don't know. I mean, there could be plenty of motives. The motive could be to convince you that we're a healthier society now. Interesting. Interesting. Well, anyway. Because they say that we evolved past using our wisdom teeth.

That's what we say. Is that why? And that's why a lot of people say that and that's why we need to have them removed now. But other people say it's because our diets have changed so much that we used to eat meat and we would all the time we would just tear meat with our mouth and jaws. And we were taken in so much of that kind of stuff that we actually were developing more of our jaws.

So, a lot of people suggest that it's just our jaws aren't fully developing like they used to, and that's why we don't have room for our teeth. I don't know if it's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm saying people suggest that. Well, what about this guy? Does it have something about this guy's teeth in here No, okay. Yeah, it says he it says he He has supposed a double row. Oh, yeah. Yes

He was rumored to have two complete sets of teeth Which he used to bite off hunks of wooden rails in his spare time while drinking and brawling So that would help build your legends, you know, that's pretty interesting because when they talk about folk giants, they're like finding these, they say in America, they had found all these like eight foot, redheaded giants and they all had two rows of teeth. Yeah. His remains were allegedly hosted at the

university of Michigan at some point, which he became an oddity in dental sciences. So known for his unusual jaw bone. Wow. allegedly hosted at the university of Michigan at some point, which he became an oddity in dental sciences. So, yeah, known for his unusual jawbone. Wow. How about that? Huh. How about I never heard of this guy?

So this, this is a good exit. This is a folk tale like this. Yeah. I mean, some advertising companies kind of ran with it and, you know. Paul Bunyo is also a redhead, I think. Are you still, oh, is this the native? I'm? Oh, is this the Native American thing you're talking about? Yeah, I mean, I think a lot of Native American folktales, they talk of these redheaded giants. But anyway, that's one that... Is Paul Bunyan a redhead?

Not any of these depictions of him. Keith Albersdott- Is Paul Bunyan a redhead? No, not any of these depictions of him. Keith Albersad had a Paul Bunyan joke. Yeah, he did. He did. There's like, yeah, he's from here. The mythical ox and yeah. Johnny Appleseed, that's a real guy. Yeah.

John Chapman, he was a horticulturist and he- Are these potential Paul Bunyan people? No, I've moved on now. Johnny Appleseed's his own thing. Okay. There were a couple of Paul Bunyans... So Johnny Appleseed was real, but what's the folk tell around him that he discovered apple trees? That he's responsible for all the apple trees in America, because he walked around and just threw seeds out all over the place.

Right, that's what a lot of people think. Yeah. It's much harder to grow an apple tree than that. You can't just throw a seed out and that's fine? I've never had that kind of luck. This was actually more true than I would have guessed. I mean he did help with spreading, building, growing apple trees all over the Ohio Valley. I like that hat. He's got a tough look. Look at his chest though, he looked ripped. But his success was centered not around fresh apples, but rather the cider they could create.

Okay. Cider was essential, the American dinner table at that time. So most homes had their own small orchard. He planted orchards along with the pioneers and stayed ahead of the other horticulturists because he was unmarried, had an unmarried lifestyle that'll allow him to cover more ground.

And this is what I've been proposing. I think we should all, I want to get my HOA involved and I want to plant fruit trees in everybody's yard. I want everybody in the neighborhood to have a fruit tree. We should all have fruit trees in all our yards. I say this a lot and I mean this a lot, you're such the Kramer character, in the neighborhood to have a fruit tree. We should all have fruit trees in all our yards. I say this a lot and I mean this with like, you're such the Kramer character, because that was something Kramer would do on Seinfeld. But Kramer was always ahead of the, he was, yeah, he was always ahead of everybody.

Well, I mean, it's like, we should all, every household should have a fruit tree in their yard. I mean, why not? What kind of fruit? Doesn't matter? Doesn't matter. I mean, why not? What kind of fruit? Doesn't matter? Doesn't matter. I mean, certain types, you're gonna need a couple to pollinate.

Okay. But an apple tree, pear tree. My mom has a pear tree. Yeah, we should all have fruit trees in our yard. Yep. Well, anyway, the Johnny Appleseed Museum is in Urbana, Ohio. If you guys wanted to go see it.

All right, I'll go check it out. I'm just saying, you're talking about these people. You're getting, you're just spurring ideas here, you're getting me. Yeah. I mean, Johnny Appleseed, I didn't know he was doing all that, but. He was onto something, wasn't he?

Yeah. What about this, John Henry? John Henry, you know, I used to have a book, John Henry Paul Bunyan playing baseball. That you do believe. Yeah. That's 100 hundred percent factual. Well, John Henry, I love the story of John Henry.

I mean, he was, he was that he was a railroad guy and the steam engine was coming in and the steam engine was taking everybody's jobs on the railroad. And John Henry was like, I can beat the steam engine. Yeah. It was a steam drill. Yeah. And he beat it. But then he died, right the steam engine. Yeah. It was a steam drill. Yeah.

And he beat it. But then he died, right? He died. Yeah. Died in the process. So who wins it? Well, obviously technology wins in the end, but he was saying. So is it a sad story? I think so.

What's the moral of the John Henry story that we will lose to technology in the end? Yeah. I mean, AI will kill us. I mean, is will kill us. I mean, is this supposed to be some kind of story about the human spirit? Yeah, I think it was like... But if he dies at the end and he barely beats the machine. Yeah, but he'd rather die.

I don't know if he barely beat it, but he... It wasn't, he didn't dominate it. He'd rather die than lose out to the machine Did he know I might die doing this when he started it or did he just I don't think he cared But that seems dumb Just what another job, what's he gonna do though? I mean, maybe jobs weren't readily available at that time Well, I think you figure it out. I don't think the only two options are die or yeah die. I think you could have just kept living and you know went somewhere else. Mm-hmm. I think you got pride in

your in your work. What if you had pride to an extent what if AI they were they were suddenly AI you know Terminator robots that were doing stand-up comedy. Yeah. And it was like who can can do standup comedy the longest? Yeah. We were like, no, I can beat this guy. I wouldn't go die on stage to leave my family. They were like, either you die on stage or you're working. What's that?

I've died on stage. Well, AI, I mean, deep blue, that was kind of an early, you know, when it played chess against, was it Gary Kasparov? Yeah, yeah. That was kind of like John Henry. Gary, he eventually lost, right? Yeah, he did. But, oh well, never mind.

But he lived, so. Yeah, he did. He did. So that's the upside. He did live. Yeah. It'd be tough to die from playing chess. Yeah. I played chess on a plane.

I know how to play chess. I never prided myself being very good, but I know how all the parts move. Yeah. And I've tried to play chess against the computer on a plane the other day. What difficulty level? It's the easiest possible.

Where you're getting what either? Murdered every time. Not even, now I'm not, I'm more of a speed chess guy. I just want to play. Blitz. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want, I don't want to I'm more of a speed chess guy. I just want to play. Blitz. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want, I don't want to sit around all day

and think about it. I just want to play. Okay. But I was getting hammered. Yeah. Yeah. It's a tough game, man. Yeah. You can hammer like John Henry hammered that.

Exactly. Brought it back. Yep. Casey Jones. There's a good song. Justin Towns-Earl has a good song about John Henry and also Gillian Welch has a good song, Justin Towns-Earl has a good song about John Henry and also Gillian Welch has a good John Henry song.

Okay. If you're into those. Yeah, I'll check that out. Jesse Slay's top five John Henry songs. Yeah. Honorable mention. Yeah. Casey Jones, you guys heard of Casey Jones?

Yeah. From Grateful Dead song? Is there? There was a Beastie Boys- From Ninja Turtles. Beastie Boys line about, was it Casey Jones' Locker? Oh, why do I think Casey Jones is it? You may be right, I don't know The Grateful Dead.

The Ninja Turtles had a Casey Jones character. Yeah, Casey Jones, The Grateful Dead. Oh yeah. Riding that train, bada da da. Casey Jones, you better watch your speed. So he was from Tennessee. Trouble ahead. Okay. Was he a bank robber or something? No, he was a train engineer, locomotive engineer.

Okay. And- People just looked more intense back then, didn't they? Yeah. Look at this guy. They didn't know they were about to take a picture probably. Yeah. This is where he had to stand.

He probably had to pose for the picture for like 15 minutes for it to develop. So it's tough to maintain a smile that long. So he'd come out looking like this, and this is how the world remembers him. Just like a tense stare. Anyway, his train was about to collide with another train. And he stayed on board, supposedly to try to slow the train and save his passengers. And he was the only person to die. According to legend, he had died with one hand on the train's whistle and the other hand on its brake. Wow.

So he became this legend of... Did he do anything to actually save them? He saved the rest of the passengers apparently. But how did he save... He slowed it down enough to where when it collided it just killed him. Oh okay. Mm-hmm. That's a hero. Yeah. And when you clicked on Casey Jones on Google it showed you the Casey Jones Ninja Turtles character. Oh. What was his character in Ninja Turtles? He was he wore the he wore the hockey mask and he had the hockey

club. Okay. It's so funny. Cause you and Nate are similar ages and he was really into Ninja turtles. He would know Casey Jones in the, in the, you know, it's that was at least in high school, if not college when they were big. Oh, that's interesting that they, they, um, grateful dad, they said, riding that train in the song, riding that train. But then they go on to allude to him doing substances. All right.

Izzy Jones, you better watch your speed. So maybe that's it. He was flying on that train. Who designed and sewed the first American flag? Betsy Ross. Story is Betsy Ross. I've been to the Betsy Ross house, but I think probably it wasn't her.

Probably not. Okay. Probably not. But that is the story. Her grandson shared that like a hundred years later. But supposedly George Washington went to her. So we want to design this new flag with the stars being six and she's six points and she's like a pentagon would be

five would be easier to sew. So that's why the star has five instead of six. Why do they want six? Was there significance to that? I don't know. Maybe that's just how they drew stars back then. And she was like, you know, a five point one would be easier for us to do. But most historians say most likely she was not the one who first did it. Wow. But they wanted to give a woman something. So it was probably done by a man much better is what historians say. I'm joking.

I'm just, but maybe, I don't know. Yeah. Who knows? Uh, I'll do a couple more. Okay. Why even do a, why even call that a star? I always thought that's interesting. Like stars don't look anything like that.

If you, you know. You mean actual stars in the sky? They twinkle. They're just like dots that kind of twinkle a little bit. So why do we call these stars? We could just call them something else. Dad, I don't know. Starshape come from, we'll find out.

The five pointed star, oh geez. Oh boy. Okay, yeah. There's a history, you're probably not gonna be happy with Dussie. No, I know about it. Okay. Okay.

Oh, he's setting us up. No. He goes, find that out on your own time. Pitting around. Oh, he's setting us up. He goes, find that out on your own time. Pitting around Pentagon, Betsy Ross flag. Pocahontas, the legend with her was that she saved John Smith's life. Okay. He was an early colonist. He got captured by Native Americans.

Her dad was the chief. Okay. And they were about to smash his head with a rock and she laid on top of him to save him. That story's almost certainly, they say not true. How would they know if it was true or untrue? Well, John Smith, who wrote this, that said this happened, also wrote numerous other stories, they say,

about beautiful women coming to his rescue. And he was a known liar and braggart they said okay yeah it's tough it's tough to make the case then yeah but Disney maybe their lives this was that also the plot of the Disney maybe John Smith was really getting around doing well for himself yep but also getting in a lot of trouble now she did saved by a lot of beautiful women. Maybe so. She did. Maybe it was a real hater who's like, you know, John's men are real liar. She married a John later, John Rolfe, and it was a big deal that an American or I guess wouldn't be American then, but a white settler was marrying a Native American woman so anyway but she certainly was real okay is there a real I guess so I guess there's

a cartoon I was gonna say is there really a folk story like John Henry Paul Bunyan these are stories I was hearing all about all the time tales yeah I guess you were hearing about but guess you were hearing about Pocahontas was Disney. I know the Pocahontas songs too. Yeah. Paint with all the colors of the wind. Okay. That's from the movie?

I think so. Isn't that a big one? You have that on DVD? Paint with all the colors of the wind. Right? Again, before my time. I mean, I act like I'm crazy. It's one of the biggest.

I don't know that song. It's a pretty big production. No, I'm crazy. It's one of the biggest. I don't know that song. It's a pretty big production. No, I'm sure it is. I just, I never, I've only listened to a few Disney songs now that I have kids and that's not made it to the mix. Okay. Not ringing any bells, but. Okay. Let me fast forward for a second.

Okay. Oh yes. Now I don't know it but I like that. Now I know it. Okay. Yep. All right. Robin Hood. Robin Hood. One of my favorites. I mean when I was a kid that's Kevin Costner Robin Hood. Not Robin Hood Mennon-Tights? That's the one I think of. Mennon-Tights was around too. We had Morgan Freeman, Kevin Costner, Christian Slater, Alan Rickman. Yeah, Snape. And then the maid Marion. She was in a few things. I don't remember her name outright, but very good. I think his butler was a pretty famous actor too. Yeah, yeah. Gosh, that was such a good movie. Robin Hood had a butler?

Before, like, you know, he was like Robin of Loxley. Before he like... And so the butler, his dad's butler was blind. He was the blind man. So was it based on something real? Probably not. It was probably more just like a symbol of rich people oppressing poor people. And Robin Hood, robbers, you know, but probably not a real person. But Men in Tights, Dave Chappelle, early Dave Chappelle. I forget that guy's name, but the guy, he's so great. He's so great. Yeah. Yeah. I probably didn't say his name right,

but something like that. I just remember Dave Chappelle with the shoes that pumped up. Oh yeah. That made me laugh so hard as a kid, pumping up shoes. I think Richard Lewis was in that. Yeah, Richard Lewis. He had the mold that would move around his face as they were talking.

Like it would come back to him and it'd be in a different place. And this Monday, St. Patrick's Day, you guys dress properly for it. Dusty always gets in the St. Patrick's Day, your green hat. It's a custom made hat here. Do you guys notice that? I noticed it.

I did see that. Yeah, it looks like the Kodak tobacco. Yeah, we had it made for the special. I wore this hat on the special. Wow. So we had it fashioned after my Kodiak winter green hat. Kodiak, not Kodak, sorry. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. So St. Patrick supposedly drove all the snakes out of Ireland. Yeah. You know that story? Yeah, I've heard it. Yeah, a little bit. Yeah.

They say there weren't snakes in Ireland because it's a island where snakes couldn't have gotten to, but he was a Christian missionary and it was more symbolism of driving out pagan beliefs. Like snakes. I love that. Represent, you know, evil. So. That's right. Get them out of there. I love that. Representing evil. So. That's right. Get them out of there.

Driving out that. So. We sent them all to Australia. Yeah. Yeah. So I mentioned earlier who are, you know, I was starting to think of some modern folk heroes in the last hundred years. I got a couple. Oh man.

That are kind of, one's still alive. We'll see how long that lasts. Once you mention them, right? Oh, that's a great point. That's a great point because the folks like to create folk tales about us. Okay. Now, anytime I mention anybody, they're like, oh, that person's dead. Yeah, because it works out that way most of the time. No. Okay.

No. Rachel Robinson broke that streak. All right. We'll see. We'll see. You just brought her up again. You restarted the time. No. Okay. No. Uh, Rachel Robinson broke that streak. All right. We'll see. We'll see. You just brought her up again. You restarted the people who are a hundred years old and then they're like, Oh wow, that's crazy. They died. There's a lot of folk folk tales about us. You have this image. People say of you being rich because you know, Nate kind of now everybody

thinks you're, you know, you're super rich. That's right. Yeah. I grew up in a mansion. Yeah. That kind of started that. Now everybody thinks you're, you know, you're super rich. That's right. Yeah, I grew up in a mansion, all that kind of stuff. Dusty, it's conspiracy theories. Never once has Dusty thrown out a conspiracy theory. Not in the untrue, and they're not even really theories. Exactly. They're certainly not conspiracies. Just because conspiracy, you know, is, you know, yeah.

It's got a bad connotation. Yeah, it was a term created to make anybody that questioned the mainstream seem crazy. That's crazy. To have a conspiracy theory about the word conspiracy theory is pretty great. I know, but it's like, it's so easy. It's so easy for people. You can, I can hear their voice now. They go, Oh, Oh, you're into, Oh, buddy, you're into conspiracies. Oh, buddy. Oh, okay, buddy. Well, listen, okay. Sometimes things in life are just what they say. Okay, buddy. Not everybody is into conspiracies.

Okay. Just trust the news. Okay. Can you just chill out here, buddy? And just trust the news for a minute. I've never heard you do a voice. That was a character actor over here. Sometimes things just are what they are. You want to see his new hour is going to be wild. I heard you do a voice. That was awesome. Character actor over here.

Sometimes things just are what they are. His new hour is going to be wild. I love it. It's doing impressions. I love it. Yeah, we have a lot, I think I have more than anybody, folk, like I told a story once about how these girls said I look worried on my senior year.

And now anything that happened anytime I post anything like this guy's worried I know you can't take a picture without people saying you know yeah more myth than man at this point exactly like the picture with uh Nate and Leanne talking to each other and you're in the background yeah they're like oh you look so worried I'm like it looks well composed back there. It looks like he's having a great time. And I know there's something funny, but read the comments when eight other people made the same dumb joke, you know, come on, some original.

Yeah, I agree with you. Go after these guys. Um, well, do Aaron. Now a lot of people come at me. Yeah. People come at me. People do come at Aaron too. You know, the, I'm going to take some heat for saying triplets can't be identical earlier.

Yeah, they come after you for anything. Like you just act like you're the smartest guy on the planet. Well, I do that sometimes. Yeah. Well, they're right. I look down on people, but down is where some people are. Yeah. That's true. Yeah, that's true. Sorkin quote. All right. Yeah, both of these are athletes. Jackie Robinson. I was gonna say Babe Ruth. Okay, Babe Ruth. Of course you would. Well, Babe Ruth. Jackie Robinson, you're saying he really didn't break the color barrier? No, no, no, no, no, I'm saying he's a...

He spun that on me quick. Well, you're coming after me for Babe Ruth. I'm saying he's a, okay, dang. He spun that on me quick. That's not what I'm saying. Well, you're coming after me for Babe Ruth. I'm saying he's legendary. He's mythologized in a lot of ways, just like Babe Ruth is. Babe Ruth is like- But you're right, Babe Ruth, a lot of like the story of him calling a shot. All that kind of stuff.

When I was a kid, Babe Ruth was like the only baseball player I'd ever heard of. You hadn't heard of Hank Aaron or Mickey Malone? Not for a while. Like when the Sandlot was out and they were talking about Babe Ruth, it was like, you would have thought he was the only big baseball player ever. See, I've always thought that that was, I've heard somebody make this point. The Sandlot takes place

in the sixties, fifties or sixties. Don't you think those kids would have moved on to Mickey Mantle or somebody by then? But they still talk about Babe Ruth. I don't know if a kid, like Mickey Mantle is playing while they're playing, they would have moved on to him. Well, maybe. Than a guy from 30 years ago. Maybe it's the history though. Mickey Mantle would have been the next generation.

They're like, remember that guy? Maybe, but I feel like those kids would have been following baseball. I haven't seen that movie in a while. But maybe it was just because of the ball. Yeah. Yeah, no, they talk about Babe Ruth before the ball is brought out. Maybe it's the folklore. Yeah. Yeah. No, they talk about baby roof before the ball is brought out. Maybe it's the folklore.

That's what we're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. You're, you're right, Brian. He, he's definitely the Mickey Manil doesn't have it. Two Ms. Mickey Mouse is what we're thinking now. There's some legendary home runs that, um, you w you went to the, uh, museum this weekend.

Um, what's it called? He's trying to get me to say it. The Negro league baseball museum. There's legends. I don't know if you saw it there. There's a guy that got fired for going there one time, right? He, that, that announcer. Yeah.

Remember that. And then he apologized, he apologized like two innings later, like that's not who I am. The guy was in the third inning, he's not who I am. No, no, different guy, different guy. Oh, okay. Anyway, there's legends about Josh Gibson, some of those guys hit 700 foot home runs. Probably not true, but there's legendary stories about guys. There's some about, they say Mickey Mantle hit one like 650 feet or something.

And they had no way to track that back then. Yeah. It was just like, man, it went far. But Babe Ruth calling his shot is the one I was. Yeah. I don't know if there's evidence of that, right? If there's like a picture of it or anything, but it's a fun story. Yeah.

And then the guy who's still alive, at least for now, who's kind of like this is Bo Jackson. Yeah, you're right. Bo Jackson is such a legendary athlete. Yeah. Yeah. There's stories about him as a kid. And right where I grew up. And yeah, I watched a Bo Jackson documentary. I don't know. Maybe it was a 30 for 30. I don't know what it was. Yeah, it's called Bo Knows. But man, I did not really, I mean, I just grew up everybody talking about Bo Jackson, but I really didn't know the scope of how good he was. Yeah, he did some crazy stuff.

And how tragic him, his career ending was. Like tragic in the sense of, just seems like an injury. Yeah. Yeah, you just got injured. Just a little hip injury. But they made the point in that 30 for 30 that he's almost like the Beatles where you never saw him fade. He was just kind of taken from us. Yes. So there's never that the inevitable and LeBron might be the one exception, but every other great athlete in my lifetime, there's always that kind of period at

the end of the career where you're like, yeah, Lee just kind of, you know, we're maybe in the middle of it with Aaron Rodgers right now where you're like, come on, dude, just tap out. Never had that with him. It was just taken from us and in his prime, he's just gone. So, yeah, it's a, it's a, but I think that's 30 for 30 even had some stories about him as a kid that were legendary. Yeah.

That, you know, he did some crazy stuff. Or like, yeah, just jumping out of a pool, waist deep in water, all that kind of stuff. Yeah. But he was a freak for sure. Now if he dies this week. That is on you. That is on you. That'd be a fair one.

How old is he? Is he 60? 62. Yeah, that'd be fair. That happens. I think he's doing great. And then I was thinking of other genres like, you know, there's some guys in, well, like George Jones.

I mean, a lot of it's true but no show Jones he you know there were some drinking stories Johnny Cash a little bit like that yeah yeah I mean the the Tales from the Tour Bus by Mike Judge stories on all those country singer season was very hard to find you can't buy it on DVD it's very hard to find and it's definitely not clean but it is if you like those country music stories really good really good they used to do those uh i guess behind the music on mtv and these rock bands had some legendary stories too ozzy osbourne you know famously bit off a

bat yeah they said he yeah but off a bat's head yeah he thought it was a fake you know the story no yeah i know that off a bat said yeah, he thought it was a fake. You know the story? No, yeah, I know that he bit a bat that I really thought it was a fake rubber bat. It was a real bad. So I mean, I think that's true. Yeah. But there's probably some legendary stories about some of those guys. Yeah. Yeah. And there's I mean, we'll have to get into it now. But you know, there's all kinds of comics where there's, there's a mythology about them. Yeah. These crazy comics, road guys and stuff like that. Oh, stuff they do on the road?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a ton of that stuff. There's like a whole, whole world. Let's get into it. We don't, you know, stuff I don't want to talk about on the podcast. But, yeah. Do you, do you have something? No, I was going to say some of it would be hard to

talk about on the podcast and it would con you know and just keep content family friendly. Yeah, right. Because there are like Rodney Dangerfield has some people will tell me once in a while they used to drive Rodney Dangerfield around and Vegas a guy was telling me that and it's wild stuff. Oh, here's one more. Plymouth Rock. Yeah. The pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock.

That Plymouth Rock, that probably didn't happen. But there is a real Plymouth Rock and you can go see it. And they were moving it and it broke in half. It fell off the lag or something and split in half. What was inside? A key. Yeah. Key to the new world.

Yeah. Uh, but, uh, people over time have chipped away at it and taking it for, Oh yeah. But probably was not the place where the pilgrims actually landed. I want to say this on Bo Jackson's Wikipedia, the top of says knock, not to be confused with boo Jackson. And this is a retired basketball player named boo. Jack's.

Wow. Wouldn't that be tough? Yeah. Try to be an athlete named boo Jackson. You're never going to be as good as, as Bo. Well, at least if you get booed, you play college basketball. They're like, they're cheering for me. There you go.

Yeah. Yeah. If you're getting booed, I'm not being booed. They say in my name, you can never you get booed. You play college basketball. They're like, they're cheering for me. There you go. Yeah. Yeah. If you're getting booed, I'm not being booed. They're saying my name. You can never really be booed. Yeah.

How would you boo a guy named boo? That's a great point, Dusty. Yeah. Middle name hits. I don't usually agree with you on stuff, but that's a good point. Yeah. Occasionally I come up with something good. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Uh, that's about all I had. That's about it. Wow. Another fun episode of the 8Land podcast. It was fun talking to you. We got into the weeds on a few things.

We got into it. We learned a lot and you know what? I think the real folk tales are the friends we made along the way. Brian Bates, where are you going to be this weekend or next? Let them know. This weekend, I'm gonna tell more than that. Sit back. Walk me through the year brother. This weekend I am in Beverly, Massachusetts at Off Cabot Comedy Club. I don't know why it's funny.
