It's been a while since I've started.

Starting point is 00:00:52 That's okay. Hello folks. And Hey bear, welcome in Aaron Weber here in the Nate land podcast studio alongside my friends, Brian Bates. Okay. And dusty sleigh. All right. Nate is, uh, Nate is not here this week and I haven't seen Nate

Starting point is 00:01:06 in I think it's been two years now since I've seen him. I respect you for sitting out when, until you guys work out your beef, I respect you just. Well, me and him have a lot of work to do on a personal level before I sit across the table from him. But he is in New York City right now, doing a book signing for the book, Big Dumb Eyes, which is out. He did the first book signing. Nate doing a book signing. That's

Starting point is 00:01:30 amazing. What a world we live in. That is. Oh, go ahead. Now I was gonna say it's very exciting. He's making the round he was on. What's the Kelly and what is it today? He did today. That's today's show. Well, he did Kelly and he did that show where you have to dance down the hallway. I love, you know, I'm talking about, have you seen that?

Starting point is 00:01:56 Yeah, that would be my nightmare. He did Jimmy. What are you guys doing in the hallway here? Just let me, I don't even know why you're filming me walking. Yeah, I don't even, I haven't seen a single clip from the actual show. Let's start with me in the chair. But I've seen a million videos of people walking down that

Starting point is 00:02:13 hallway. I don't even know what you're talking about. The, I think it's the, uh, Jennifer Hudson show. I think so. Ah, Yeah. Where they all, they walked down the hallway and they dance and everybody seems to have it. I thought they just did it for Carlton because he walked down and then never did the Carlton

Starting point is 00:02:26 dance. Well, I kind of respect that. I respect it too. Because he's like, I am a good enough dancer. I don't need the one move that you know me from, you know, have you ever done it? When's the last time you did the set without saying we're having a good time? One of these days, you're not going to. Well, I do.

Starting point is 00:02:41 I don't say it as much anymore. It's a bit of a tick for me. More. You know what I mean? As a tick for me that I can't. Well I'm saying we're having a good time is your Carlton dance. Yeah I guess so. And people you know you're a diverse enough and prolific enough comedian. I was thinking about changing my own podcast to we're having a bad time so I can complain the whole time. I don't think the title's stopping you now. No, but I want people to know what they're getting into. I was going to say, Nate's in New York City.

Starting point is 00:03:10 I'll be there May 17th, New York City. First ever New York City show. I was going to say, mate. Wow. What are you doing? Official. What are you doing? The town hall. Town hall? That's big time. It's political.

Starting point is 00:03:22 Are you going to take questions from the audience? Yeah. No, it's, so I will be there and I want people to come right now. The tickets are not reflecting that it's the biggest city in America. Yeah. It looks like Omaha is bigger than New York right now. Yeah. Yeah. That's just what the media tells you.

Starting point is 00:03:42 Well, we do want to announce the kickoff of Nate's US tour starts tomorrow. Well, I've been trying to say for the last five minutes. Oh, I'm sorry. Nate did Jimmy Fallon. Is that a dog? Oh! You have a dog with you. I didn't even realize it.

Starting point is 00:03:56 That dog's name's Rusty, by the way. Yeah. Filling in for Holly. Oh, you guys know him. This is Rusty. Is it the same type of dog as Holly? It looks like the same. No. It's got the same kind of hair. Do you just let that dog lick you in the mouth? On the chin, but...

Starting point is 00:04:14 Dusty has a different relationship with dogs than Brian does. Yeah, my dog goes crazy. That's Rusty. He's, I don't know why he's here or who he is, but he's very cute. Sometimes we just bring animals into the studio. Yeah. That was fun holding him. But what were you saying? Nate was on Jimmy Fallon last night. Uh, he was on, I can't think of the show, but the show comes on ABC and

Starting point is 00:04:42 the Kelly and somebody, right? Regis. No. Michael Strahan. He's not even there anymore. Really? Yeah. Anyway. Okay. Pat Sajak?

Starting point is 00:04:52 He's making the rounds. Okay. So yeah, Nate's everywhere. Yeah. You're going to see a lot of them because the tour starts tomorrow in Duluth, Minnesota. They also added a third show in Denver, Colorado on Saturday, September 13th at the ball arena. Might as well add a third arena show. Might as well in these cities in Denver. Right.

Starting point is 00:05:11 I was. Yeah. How'd it go? I had a great time. I love Colorado. Denver was a hot show. Me and Zach Townsend went with me. Nice.

Starting point is 00:05:19 My friend, Georgia Comstock, who lives in Denver came and did the show. It was a really good show. A lot of hair in that show. From Zach, Georgia has very long hair. Zach has long hair and I have long hair. It was a hairy show. Yeah. Did you say that on stage? Actually, Georgia went ahead and said it at the beginning.

Starting point is 00:05:39 So a lot of hair in this show. Hmm. All right. Is that all you want to say about? I think we're on the word again. Okay, I did Denver, Colorado, and then I did Colorado Springs, Colorado. Both really great shows. I did probably an hour 15 in Denver and an hour 20 in Colorado Springs. Wow, you're whittling it down. Yeah, I mean, I ramped it up. I mean, I, well, you know, I bramped it up.

Starting point is 00:06:05 I mean, I went from one 15 to one 20. I had to get my feet back under me and, uh, it was good. Uh, my manager, Judy has a cabin in Colorado Springs. I've heard about this. So I stayed there this weekend and it was great. I heard it's a real dump, right? Yeah. It's very nice.

Starting point is 00:06:20 Yeah. A lot of deer were hanging out. Me and, uh, me and Zach stood out on the porch and looked at the deer and we were both eating bananas. And then we threw the banana peel at the deer and they ate the banana peel. Really? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:34 And then- Is that good for him? Did you research that at all? No, I don't, you know. It could be like giving a seagull a alka-sul. Well, I assume that any food that we eat in America is probably bad for the animals. alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, at 6 a.m. a robin kept crashing into the window of the bedroom I was in like for an hour and a half it would fall on the ground get back up and crash back into

Starting point is 00:07:13 the window it wasn't a huge window there were huge windows on the other side of the house that made sense that a bird accidentally crashed into it right but this bird at some point had to be well aware that there was a window. I got a lot of questions. Are you sure it was the same bird every time? Well, I mean, I got a video of the bird doing it three times in a row. It could have left and another bird came back, but this one did it at least three times. Was it a particularly clean window? Did it look real clear? It had blood all over it by the end. When it first started happening, it had closed blinds. And I got up and opened the blinds to see what was happening and the bird flew off.

Starting point is 00:07:52 And then it came back and kept doing it. I'm just wondering why that window, why that room, did your room smell different from the rest of the house? Um, by the end of the weekend, I wear a lot of essential oils. Is the eucalyptus that got it. There's like 10 things that could have been attracted to those birds. Could have been. I had some good protein bars in my bag.

Starting point is 00:08:14 Oh, that'll do it. As you guys know, I have some serious wildlife issues at my house. Oh, God, yeah. And I mean, it was, the squirrels were the big thing. Thankfully, they have not been an issue for a while, but I got it. Well, I got a couple of things going on. I got a woodpecker that likes to pack right outside my bedroom window. And then, but the big problem right now is once or twice a year, we get a skunk, like a skunk smell that permeates through my house and it stays for days. And I called a company to come out.

Starting point is 00:08:46 They looked at the house and like, yeah, we didn't see skunks, but we can certainly see they've been here. They get underneath your HVAC and there's holes underneath your HVAC and they get under there. How did they know they were skunks? Did they tell you?

Starting point is 00:08:59 Just like no other animal would do that? I guess, or I don't know. They're not spraying? The skunks? Yeah. Well the smell, I mean like I said there's a skunk smell that was in our house. That's how they know. Well I mean that's why I called them because I think I have skunks but I thought about that too Aaron. How do they know it's not raccoons? Yeah I was pictured it's not like they have a slime trail like a

Starting point is 00:09:19 slug. Right. So anyway he quoted me a price. It's a lot. Yeah. I said, let me think about it. You got to get some traps. I come trap them. Is it a flat, like a flat cost or do they charge you per scunk? How does that work? It's a flat cost to put in things to keep them from getting in.

Starting point is 00:09:39 Now you've already kind of stepped on a little bit, but my buddy, uh, it's very similar to your joke about the, not quite as extreme as that, but he was like, just get you a couple of traps, put them out there. And I'm like, do you know me at all? 30 bucks. And I'm gonna be out there trying to trap skunks and then have to carry on, get sprayed and then.

Starting point is 00:09:59 Right, right. Yeah, skunks, that would be, I trapped a raccoon one time. I just let it go. I was trying to catch a groundhog. Where'd you let it go? Just right out of my in my yard The why I was trying to catch a groundhog. Oh, so you didn't care about the wreck. Yeah, I didn't want I thought you're trying to catch it No, no, like no, I caught some cats. I took them to the pound. Okay Yeah, so I took some bricks and went out after they left around the H Just put it around all the holes around let me each figure out that That's gonna fix the problem. Yeah. Two days later I go out

Starting point is 00:10:27 there and I'm like oh there's a hole there. What is that? Giant skunk poop. Wow. I'm like that cannot be from a real animal and I googled skunk poop and... That's what it was. Yeah. So... Maybe they're not even spraying it's just the poop. He walked up saw the brick and he's thought, I'll leave him a little mess here. Yeah. He sent me a message. Don't wall off my house. Exactly.

Starting point is 00:10:51 Exactly. So that's what I got going on. It still smells bad though. Around the house. It's getting better, but we had to open the windows and we put out vinegar. I don't even know if that works, but it's supposed to absorb, I guess the smell. Okay. But, uh, I wasn't, you know, I've sat down this weekend.

Starting point is 00:11:04 I'm like, ah, still smell skunk. But, uh, I was, you know, outside of town this weekend, I'm like, ah, I still smell skunk because it was on my clothes. I'm sure everyone there smelled it. You just walk it around stinking. That's what I always tell the police. No, no, it's a skunk got in here. I was thinking about this the other day. You ever wish you could just take a picture of a smell?

Starting point is 00:11:24 I think you tweeted that. Yeah, I did tweet it. I thought it would take off. Not a picture of a smell. I think you tweeted that. Yeah, I did. I thought it would take off. Not a lot of people identified with it. I don't, I don't think I've ever thought of that. I want to show somebody a smell. There's no way to capture it. You can take a picture.

Starting point is 00:11:37 You can take a video, but you can't do that with a smell. I guess you'd have to jar it, but even that doesn't work. You should ask AI to create an image for the smell that you're trying to recreate. Well, I can do that, but I want people to experience the same smell. And I'm not just talking bad smells like scums, but like, let's say, you know, we cook something and it's really good smell. I want to share with you how it smelled. And there's no way to do that.

Starting point is 00:12:03 That's pretty crazy. What do you think about it? We can capture and share everything else. If you ever want to cook for me, I'll take it. Well, I was thinking about, that's a good point. You don't want to share a smell ever? Yeah. Okay.

Starting point is 00:12:13 I can say Dusty does share a smell occasionally. Yeah. So, yeah, that's a good point. That, and I was thinking about the senses, touch. I mean, I don't know how you could share that. Like what? Like share and a touch? Give me an example of something that you'd want to share.

Starting point is 00:12:33 Well, I guess you were like on the road and you had some smell that you wanted to share, like with your wife, right? Yeah. Well, if something touched you, I don't know, you can video it, but you can't feel. But you could take whatever has that feeling. Like if a rock feels weird, just take the rock.

Starting point is 00:12:50 You can physically have other people. What was the smell you wanted to share? I don't even remember. I think it was just, I think I was in an Uber and it smelled like comically bad. Like it was, I stepped in, I was like, Whoa, I let out a whoa to this driver. And I got to roll down the window and he was just oblivious. This guy just stunk to high heavens.

Starting point is 00:13:14 And I was just sitting back there. I was like, nobody will appreciate how bad it smells in here. I'd love to take a picture. What did it, what did he smell like though? It was a bunch of, and I honestly, I saw mustard in my head. It was like he had mustard in his armpits and imagine it just gets like caked on there. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:33 No, I mean, I don't know that smell, but, um. Well, this is why I'd like a picture of it. So I didn't have to come up with a terrible description. Yellow mustard or spicy mustard. Oh man. It's brown now. Yeah. Yeah. D or spicy mustard. Oh man. It's brown now. Yeah

Starting point is 00:13:54 Mustard and mayonnaise just in there dude, and it just and it's a hot car no AC going Where was this this was getting picked up from the airport? What's in Nashville? Oh? Yeah, it was bad, dude. It was bad, Man, I had a ride last weekend. I texted you. I'm like, God. 520 in the morning, the guy picks me up. It's a 40 minute drive, talks the entire time, never shuts up. I can't even tell what he's saying half the time.

Starting point is 00:14:17 He's telling me jokes by the ends. Are you giving him cues that you want to talk or are you trying to be? Absolutely not, but I'm also want to be nice and never hurting one's feelings. So every time he would make eye contact with me in his rear view mirror, I would be like, Whoa, wow, that's incredible. I would just say some verbal thing to act like I'm listening. But I'm so frustrated. But I was thinking if I had another comic with me, it would almost been worth it just to share the experience. It would have been hilarious. Yeah. If you and Dusty were in

Starting point is 00:14:47 the back because you'd be looking at each other it'd be great. Yeah you and I have experienced some crazy uber drivers. Yeah. And you know it's almost fun then but when you're by yourself and by yourself it's brutal. Yeah. The key the trick is you got to take over. You got to take over. How do you take over with silence? To where the uber driver is almost like okay okay I got to take over. You got to take over. How do you take over with silence? Where the Uber driver is almost like, okay, okay. I got to focus on driving here. And no, the tables on them. No music playing. Yeah. Oh, so, you know. Well, he wanted to be respectful because it's early. So let's not put on a lot of music. Let's have a deep conversation. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, sometimes if you get like

Starting point is 00:15:23 the Uber or like the Ly lift black, I think it's what it's more expensive, but sometimes they are a little more into the idea of not talking to you. Well, that was what was so frustrating is this Uber or the lift that picked me up at the national airport. It was a lift extra comfort. It's supposed to be a little, it's a little between a lift black and like a regular lift. Yeah, but it's supposed to be you're supposed to you're paying to avoid what I went through. You know, so you just can't trust these things anymore. Now, did you put it in the review?

Starting point is 00:15:55 You still give him five stars, but you go, hey, this guy smelled a bit like, well, there's not enough like a button. This guy's smell. There is comments you can leave. Well, I'm not going to say, hey, but you know, no, but you know, why not? They leave a tip, leave a five star review and be like, you do smell a bit. Well, he'll think he likes it.

Starting point is 00:16:12 I just put safe driver. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I still feel for the guy. But I will say this though, about mine. It was a car service that the venue provided. The guy calls me the day before just to confirm the pickup time and everything. And he was like, I've driven a million comics from this place.

Starting point is 00:16:27 Oh yeah, that's the problem. And they all think I'm funny. And then he's like, he's even alluded to get to know your son like that. I said, well, it's going to be 5.20 in the morning. And he's like, we'll stop and get some coffee. But now I feel like we're already kind of know each other. Like he's got my number, he knows my name. You get in the car, Brian. And we listening to the podcast.

Starting point is 00:16:49 I wish, I wish, but yeah. I was walking into the Mount Juliet target. It was two days ago. I hear Aaron Webber. I turn around. It's a woman in a suburban windows rolled down. She goes, I'm listening to the podcast right now. All right. So we walk it into the target. All right, how about that? Yeah, we're out here. We made it all the way to Mount Julia. Yeah, that's a good target. It is a really good target. But also the Mount Juliet Walmart is very nice

Starting point is 00:17:16 I feel like Target has become what Walmart used to be and Walmart is what Target used to be They flipped we should do the top five retail stores in Mount Juliet. Yeah, we should. That'd be good. I'll jump in on that list. I'll jump in. Our next sponsor, you know, we love Delete Me. It's our old friends, Delete Me.

We did a little family vacation for the first time. Oh nice. We flew with the baby for the first time.

Starting point is 00:18:57 How was it? It was, you know, we learned a lot. I think the next time we fly, things are gonna be different. We're gonna do things a little different. Like I forgot to get a, where you can gate check the car seat. I just forgot. And then we're scanning our tickets to walk in

Starting point is 00:19:14 and the woman's like, what are you doing? I go, can I gate check it? And she's like, you got it. I just looked like I'd never flown in my life. Was this Southwest? Bluster, this was Southwest. When you do family boarding, I don't even know the elders never flown. What's the process?

Starting point is 00:19:27 I didn't do family boarding. I just boarded in in the A group. Oh, I see. Me, Lucy and the baby. So we ended up putting the car seat on a seat in Southwest and like buckled it in. But we ended up just holding there the whole time. So I was like, next time we fly, I'm not gonna. They wouldn't let you just check it? Well, they were like, you got to go back to the desk and get a tag for it, or just take it on. Cause there's going to be empty seats. You can just put it on a, uh, put it on a chair.

Starting point is 00:19:52 That probably worked out better in the end. Yeah. But we, we held her for the whole flight anyway. She doesn't like being in the car seat. So there's just a lot of little things that we've learned. I think it would be better, but we spent the weekend in Blue Ridge, Georgia. We got an Airbnb right on the Akohi river, had a pool. Nice. It was awesome.

Starting point is 00:20:10 That's great. Weekend swim, swim with the Bay. She loves swimming. Swimmin' is fun. So anytime we can hop in a pool, we like to do that and just had a good, good little getaway for a few days. That's awesome. Blue ridge, Georgia.

Starting point is 00:20:21 Cause I'm about to be back at it on the road. So that was nice to get away for a bit, but I missed you guys. And let's get into these comments. We had Derek Stroops replacing me. We had the next best thing to Aaron Weber. You had Aaron Weber Jr. In here. You had a high energy Aaron Weber.

Starting point is 00:20:40 Yeah. Yeah. Would you mind before we get in the comments, if I shared my weekend? I thought you just I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to skip you. No, it's alright. I was in Columbus, Ohio This will be quick I was in Columbus, Ohio time with it I Did a show for his organization called Alex's sunny side playroom and it it's a wonderful organization

Starting point is 00:21:07 What they do is build Playrooms for kids in adult hospitals. So if you're You know heaven forbid your loved one your parent your mom your dad Whatever is in the hospital for extended period of time The kids have nowhere to, you know, play. Yeah. So children's hospitals are covered, but adult hospitals, most of them do not have a place

Starting point is 00:21:29 for the family to go. So they build these rooms in these hospitals, which I think is great. That's awesome. And- They should do that at McDonald's now, because they're getting rid of all the play places. I know, I know.

Starting point is 00:21:41 Yeah, it seems like the pharmaceutical company should just put the money up for the play park thing at the hospital. Well, they're not and this is what this group is stepping in. I like that. I like that. But it does seem like they should just do that. Are there eggs involved? Why is it called the sunny side? I don't, I know who, Alex was the guy who passed away and his wife started this foundation because they had two small kids I don't know the sunny side part why it's called that so I missed that but anyway great organization

Starting point is 00:22:10 Was it maybe just trying to be happy? Yeah seeing things on the sunny side. Maybe maybe so But it was a great time Where is that Ohio Columbus, Ohio Columbus, Ohio? Yeah that home of the Ohio State I, Ohio, I like that. Home of the Ohio State. I love Columbus. Oh yeah, I got on my Southwest fight and the flight attendant goes, OH. Oh, did they yell O-I-O? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:35 I can understand how people get annoyed with roll tide, but OHIO is the worst one. It is the most annoying of all the college football yells. And I like Columbus, but I think it's OHIO and then Roll Tide is under there. I love Roll Tide. Roll Tide doesn't annoy me, but I can understand if you're not an Alabama fan,

Starting point is 00:22:56 how it would. And I think it goes OHIO, then Roll Tide. What was that ESPN commercial that really changed things? Do you remember the ESPN commercial where everybody's saying roll tide? Yeah. And that was very funny. They were like, well, that's not how people, people don't do that. Everyday life in Alabama.

Starting point is 00:23:14 I don't know. Depends on where you're at. Stardome they do. You never, but you're not holding the door over for somebody at Winn-Dixie. And you go roll tide. If they're wearing a hat that says that. If they're wearing an Alabama thing. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:23:24 But, but in the commercial, it's just like, what just happened over there? It's just two regular people talking. Anyway, but that changed the way Roll Tide is. I feel like it almost ruined people on Roll Tide because Roll Tide was more of a fun thing to do, but when that commercial came out it made it too mainstream. That commercial out right now might be the worst commercial I've ever seen. That, uh, I think it's AT&T. I don't even remember where the guy's saying high tide, high tide. He's getting it wrong.

Starting point is 00:23:53 Cause he's trying to say roll tide and he's saying high tide. Oh, nobody. Oh, that's the worst commercial. I, that's the joke. They know nobody says that. Yeah. He's like a guy pretending to be a fan and he's going, high tide, everybody high tide.

Starting point is 00:24:07 Horrendous. Yeah. If it's AT&T, I'll never support AT&T. I'll never use them again for that. They have a similar commercial where, I can't believe you guys are watching commercial. Well, during sports. During sports. That's a very common commercial.

Starting point is 00:24:22 Yeah. During sporting events. What sports are you watching right now? I'm watching a lot of baseball right now. Braves are getting things together right now. Wait a minute, the same, they have got that one with the guy yelling high tide. There's another one where a guy runs on the basketball court

Starting point is 00:24:37 to celebrate too soon. Have you seen that one? No, I haven't seen that one. Equally bad. What's it for, do you even remember? I think it's the same, maybe it's AT&T. Oh guy AT&T is putting out some garbage right now. Good for them. That's why I'm a T-Mobile guy. I'm AT&T. Ah it's too bad. You know what you would be. I like it. Let's get into these comments that come from Twitter. I've been an AT&T

Starting point is 00:24:59 customer for over 20 years. And what have they ever done for you? They provide great phone service for me. Okay. And, um, I have the internet now too. You like all the five G towers around town? Well, I think the comments today. Did you mention this? Did you mention that? No, I didn't.

Starting point is 00:25:18 And no, I don't. But in Nate land, June, one more Nate land announcement. June 22nd, 23rd, 24th. That's the 22nd through the 24th of June. We are coming back with season three of Nate Land Presents, the showcase. Those shows are always a lot of fun. You got to be in the room. They really are awesome. Tickets are on sale if you want to be part of the taping right here in Nashville.

Stephen Rogers special, half of Wee is out. Check that out on YouTube. My special signature dish and Nick Thune's, Born Young, all on the Nightline Entertainment. I understand that on the consumers, Greg Warren was trying to steal my working man thing. Yeah. You guys heard that? No. What was he doing? Now he's got a special coming out called Working Man. And uh. Does he really?

Starting point is 00:26:06 No, he doesn't. But something happened. I don't know what it was, but he, they mentioned Working Man that a bunch of people came in the comments and uh. Defended you? Yeah. Defended me. Wow. Which I'm all about. And uh. Dump Greg. But Greg, Greg, Greg got a nice funny rant.

Starting point is 00:26:21 Yeah. Making fun of people and it was good. Yeah. Greg's very funny. Comments today come from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Apple podcast reviews and Nate land at natebargetzi.com. First comment comes from David John. Sounds like a fake name.

Starting point is 00:26:37 Totally. It's a witness protection name. John David, maybe John David's a name though. You need a last name. Yeah. Oh, is John David a name just by itself? I grew up with a lot of John David's a name though. You need a last name. Yeah. Oh, is John David a name just by itself? Sounds like I grew up with a lot of John David's John David Parker, John David Burrow.

Starting point is 00:26:51 I know what John Davis. Oh, but John David like almost hyphenated. Yeah. I don't know if it is anyway, David John. Whoa. The Nate land team is stepping it up with intro graphics and animation. Good stuff. We got a good team here. Yeah, we got to see the new graphics last week. Look at these guys up here. None of them paying attention to

Starting point is 00:27:13 what we're saying, but we got a good team here. They even had Derek in the graphic. Did they? Yeah. Did they really? Yeah. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, it was awesome. Really trying to shoe horn him. Yeah, I'm going to be, I'm back on it this week, right? We'll see.

Starting point is 00:27:27 Yeah. Anthony Jane, I can't believe none of you guys had heard of the game jackpot. That was a core memory for me from grade school. I'm gonna need Aaron to come through for y'all, like he always does and say he played jackpot as a kid. Let me tell y'all, I dominated jackpot as a kid. We usually play with, you know, either regular football or like a nerf football

Starting point is 00:27:50 would be a lot of fun. Did y'all talk about jackpot and how it's played and what the game is? Derek talked about it a little bit. He couldn't remember this. I don't even remember that from last week. It was when he was like, you throw it and yell 500 points. Yeah, you say like first one to 5,000 and then the whole group and you go 500 and you throw it and oh, it's a blast. Came through for Anthony. We played another game a lot that, uh, I don't know what you're allowed to call it now.

Starting point is 00:28:16 I played that one. That was like the family game. We played that at Thanksgiving and everybody just called it that. Yeah. Not thinking anything called it that. Yeah. Not thinking anything about it. But anyway. I don't know what you're talking about. You know, it's a game where you, you, you tackle. Got a rhyming title.

Starting point is 00:28:32 You tackle the guy with the ball. And, um. I did know you were talking about that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Next comment comes from Reverend John Fletcher. Reverend John Fletcher. Yeah. I mean, we've got a lot of pastors that listen.

Starting point is 00:28:46 Could be a Catholic priest. We'll see. On our school bus route, we pass a golf course every day. Every other day, oh, this guy's talking about, when he was a kid. Yeah, we did school episode. On our school bus route,

Starting point is 00:28:59 we passed a golf course every day. Every other day, we'd all hit the side of the bus in unison and pretend we got hit with a golf ball. The gasps and the shock were some of our greatest performances. I'm not sure what was more annoying us then, or realizing later in life, the bus driver wasn't as stupid as we thought and knew it was us. It's a pretty good, that is a fun prank. I don't understand what they're saying. I was with them until the bus driver.

Starting point is 00:29:22 I don't understand. Well, they'd ride by the golf course. saying. I was with them until the bus driver. I don't understand. Well, they'd ride by the golf course. They'd all pretend that the bus got hit with a golf ball to prank the bus driver. Oh, we just got hit. Yeah, he's saying now the bus driver

Starting point is 00:29:36 probably knew the whole time. Oh yeah. He's got a big mirror up there. He's watching all of y'all. Yeah. Did y'all ride the bus to school? Yeah. You did? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:29:45 I never did. I feel like I missed out on that. Yeah, you did. Glenn Tepe, Glenn Tepe, Brian Bates's, yeah, it should be Brian Bates's, it should be an S after that apostrophe. Brian Bates's is underrated. He does it all the time and it's especially strong when Dusty says something a little flat earthy.

Starting point is 00:30:10 I've never said flat earthy. And then you just hear Brian saying, I've never said flat earthy. Well, he just says flat earthy like something in that vein. I don't know. I never say anything in that vein. That was great. That is good. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:30:28 Good looking out Glenn T. Corey Richardson. It should cost less for companies to advertise on Nate land when Aaron isn't there to read the ads. How you feel about that, Aaron? I will say it's in our best interest, uh, to maybe not tell these companies that, you know, the lineup's different every week. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:30:52 This is the Nate land podcast. Nate's always here. Well, we're all pros here. That's right. Yeah. I mean, that's what I keep saying. You guys keep trying to put us lower, but I keep trying to tell everybody we're all professional comedians.

Starting point is 00:31:04 That's right. But in this case. And I put on a very good show. I don't know what you guys are doing out there, but I'm very proud of the show. I put on a good show. I'm hit or miss, but we both have good shows. Yeah. Donna Worley.

Starting point is 00:31:18 Worley. Dusty's advice on the gardening episode was solid. Grow what you like. Use what you have around. Doesn't matter if you live in a room or on a farm. Plant a few things you want to see or eat. The creation's already been done for you. Just add love, water, and sun.

Starting point is 00:31:36 Donna's right, and I appreciate that, Donna. I'm going to tell you, I'm amazed all the time at growing. Like if you plant a little bitty tomato seed, it's so tiny. Somehow you plant this thing in the ground and it grows up a giant plant. Yeah. And in that plant, it produces tomatoes, each tomato having loads of seeds. It just blows my mind how this happens. Yeah. It's wild.

Starting point is 00:32:01 The evolution of it all. It's so well, it's not evolution, but the growth of it all. Loads of seats. It just blows my mind how this happens. Yeah. Growing evolution is so well, that's not evolution, but the growing is amazing. Yeah. It just is unbelievable. I like to credit God with that and not time, but it's, uh, it's amazing. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:32:21 God, the guy who created time. Um, yeah. Well, but evolution is all, well, I don, the guy who created time. Um, yeah. Well, but evolution is all, well, I don't know if God created time. I mean, we, we, we kind of created time. God created, uh, time and space. Yeah. But, but I don't know. Time is just the world as it is, is what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it's just amazing to watch things grow. I mean, so many seeds, like if you plant one sunflower seed,

Starting point is 00:32:46 it can grow this huge sunflower and in the flower is hundreds of seeds. It's amazing. Yeah, it's wild. Somebody told me after the gardening episode, and I don't know if this is true, but if you'll say you have two tomato plants, one of the plants, if you say nice things to it,

Starting point is 00:33:04 and then if you say mean things to the other plant, the nice one will grow more. I don't know if that's true, but I have heard that sort of thing like I've heard that with houseplants that that just in general, what's happening? Some people say that if you put the seed in your mouth before planting it, that that that seed can pick up on your DNA and grow what you need for your body. I couldn't say it in that. People say it. Okay. Okay. They say that birds also, the chirping of the birds, the songs, help the plants grow, help the flowers open, help those things.

Starting point is 00:33:41 That people have played classical music for birds at the certain frequency that made the plants grow larger. I could see that. Put a seed in your mouth and it grows a tomato grows with nicotine in it. That'd be amazing. That's what it needs. That'd be amazing. That's what the body needs. Todd Weinberg. If this podcast was an ice cream Sunday, oh I love this, breakfast would be the ice cream because he's the foundation of the pod. Aaron would be the sprinkles because he's always fun to see. Okay, Todd. Dusty would be the nuts.

Starting point is 00:34:16 Cause that's the only thing in a Sunday he would eat. And Nate would be the cherry because it's not always there, but when it is, he really appreciated it. I'll be honest. I mean, the ice cream is what I I love ice cream. Do I think ice cream is bad for us? Yeah especially how we make it now but you can buy. But I don't think anybody's is saying it's good for it. But you can buy ice cream that's made with raw milk. Yeah. And then you can sweetened with honey. Yeah. Very good for you. Yeah you can just you can also just open up the lid, pour it directly in the toilet

Starting point is 00:34:47 because you're going to throw all that up. That sounds disgusting. It's amazing. Heather. It's amazing. That's too bad. It's too bad for you. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:34:56 I think blue bell figured it out. Heather Baker. I asked the gentleman sitting in an aisle seat, if I could grab the window seat in this row, he had a backpack in the aisle seat if I could grab the window seat in this row He had a backpack in the middle seat from the start and I thought he might be waiting for a friend to board I'm gonna stop you right there. It doesn't matter It's not how it works. Yeah, you can't reserve a seat, right? You can't do that if you want to sit with a friend you go back and board with them

Starting point is 00:35:21 Yes, you don't hold the seat for somebody that hasn't boarded yet. I'm already on your side, Heather. Okay. I don't know what's about to happen, but I'm excited. He had a backpack in the middle seat from the start and I thought he might be waiting for a friend to board. He remained standing once I was seated and continued to stand until everybody had boarded the flight.

Starting point is 00:35:39 It dawned on me, he was standing to prevent anyone from taking the middle seat. He stayed busy on his phone and had his back to anyone from taking the middle seat. He stayed busy on his phone and had his back to the front of the plane to avoid eye contact, I assume. Is this brilliant or incredibly rude? Incredibly rude. Brilliant. Really? You're a fan of this, Brian? You like it?

Starting point is 00:35:58 No, but I think if somebody was standing, that would make me more inclined to say, Can I get in here? Let me go ahead and get in here. If you're gonna have to grab a middle seat, why not ask the guy who's already standing? That's why I do the opposite, which I get settled in and put the armrest down, I buckle up, they see me and they go,

Starting point is 00:36:17 it's gonna be a whole thing to get him to stand up. If I'm already standing up, they go, hey, you mind scooting out real quick? So I don't even know if this is an effective strategy, keeping your back to the aisle. I think that would, I respect gamesmanship. That feels a little too far. Yeah. That feels a little too far.

Starting point is 00:36:34 Look at your phone. Don't turn your whole back to the aisle. And, um, you're just lying to people. Yeah. I don't know. I respect moves and like being cunning with it, but that feels like too much. I don't know. Was he a nice guy? Let me know. Heather, did you talk to him at all? I don't know. I don't know how exactly I feel

Starting point is 00:36:55 about it, but no backpack on the middle seat. It's illegal. Well, I had a other day on Southwest flight. start if you ever had this happen, they started boarding before the scheduled boarding time a Couple times that'll happen. Yeah, isn't that unfair? I was in the B group. It didn't affect me Yeah, but but by the time that whatever was we're supposed to board Tommy hit the time they'd already gone all the way through the a group Yeah, I don't like that and if you are say cuz maybe cause maybe I'm going to go, I'm going to go use the bathroom 10 minutes before or something.

Starting point is 00:37:27 And yeah, you don't get back. And I saw people walk up and I think they missed their spot. It didn't seem right. It's a lesson. I would, if it were me, I would send an email and I would get some money back from Southwest for that. Okay. Do that.

Starting point is 00:37:40 That's what I did. It didn't affect me. Oh man. I was in the B group. Oh, which is. Okay. Let me what I did. It didn't affect me. Oh man. I was in the B group. Oh, which is good. Okay. Let me ask you this. Are you ready to win Mother's Day and cement your reputation as the best gift giver in the family?

Starting point is 00:37:55 Boy, howdy. Give the moms in your life an Aura digital picture frame. That is a great gift. Preloaded with decades of family photos. Whoa. Preloaded by you. Preloaded by you. Yeah, not just Aura just loads it up. If Aura has that info, we need Delete Me more than ever.

Starting point is 00:38:18 But they are really good frames. I like them a lot. I do like because the old way was you have to put them on a chip and then you have to insert it into the frame and then those pictures stay up there forever because you never reload. And even before that you had to print a picture out. Put it in an album. And then put it yeah. This way you can have the phone you can have the app on your phone. Take a picture of your daughter. Load it in there for your parents to see right away. Your grand, the grandparents can get real-time uploads of their grandkids. It's great you'll never have to talk to them again. That's the only way my parents see the kids. So

Starting point is 00:38:56 it's not completely true. I do text some to them too. Uh, I like to think I'm a good gift giver, but honestly, it's easy to be a good gift giver with Aura frames. Aura frames was named the best digital photo frame by wire cutter and by Nate land. And it's easy to see why there's unlimited storage. So you can add as many photos, videos, and funny memes as you want. And it is so simple to set up. Just plug it in and share away. Another idea, if you have a friend,

Starting point is 00:39:29 whether they be liberal or conservative, you can send them this and then upload memes of the political party that they're not for. That'll be a lot of fun. It's not just pictures. You can upload videos up to 30 seconds long, and your favorite live iPhone photos will play right on the frame.

Starting point is 00:39:48 The embedded speaker can play audio on demand. You can whisper things in there that they don't know is on the thing. Aura is a great deal for Mother's Day. It has. You're framing this as like a break gift. Like you can harass your family. That's how great.

Starting point is 00:40:04 It's like conspiracy theories. That's how great it is is that you can use it for good things or you know be a little funny about it. Right. Aura has a great deal for Mother's Day.

Starting point is 00:40:34 Oh. Jordan Johnson, shout out to Dusty, his country radio playlist on Spotify absolutely slaps. Boom, Jordan. My family recently did a road trip from Omaha to Dallas, 10 and a half hours each day, each way. And that playlist was the perfect soundtrack, A plus work, Dusty.

Starting point is 00:40:54 That's called Dusty Slay's Country Radio on Spotify. It is, put a lot into that. And I appreciate that, Jordan. I put a lot into that list. I like every song on it a lot. And I appreciate that Jordan. I put a lot into that list. I like every song on it a lot and I appreciate that. It's awesome. Yeah. I think you have great taste in country music. Thank you. Thank you, Brian. Maybe all music. I don't know music that well. You guys know music very well. But anything he's recommended? What do you mean great taste? Well, do you think great taste is liking fewer things? Or do you think like, do you think it's a virtue? Do you think liking fewer things is

Starting point is 00:41:31 is a virtuous thing? I guess it's it is. Yeah, because it means you're you're really like discerning. Yeah, honing your your taste. And you have an appreciation for fewer songs than I do. And that's better? I can appreciate a lot of songs but that doesn't mean they're good. And I, since I don't know music, I shouldn't say great taste but I like, I like, usually if he recommends someone that I know I like it. Yeah. Yeah. And he knows a lot of deep cuts that I don't know from artists I know. And yeah, you know, so he's good. And I like your music taste. I really love your movie taste. You're right to stumble on it. You're right to stumble on it when you said,

Starting point is 00:42:12 I like your music taste. You're right. Cause even your, even your brain was shorting out as you were saying. No, I like Aaron's music too. I'm not hating, but Aaron loves to hate on mine. I like yours too, but I think, I think I like more stuff than you do. Yeah. I don't think so. Well, you only listen to one genre of music from a 10 year period. That's not true. And I listened to everything. But you, you.

Starting point is 00:42:34 Oh, it has to sound like it's from that 10 year period. Well, you, you're, well, no, I mean, it just, you just have to realize that new country music, the majority of, especially what they play on the radio is not good. It's not good. Okay. That's not even what we're talking, moving the goalposts. Well, you're saying that I have, I like it from a certain period in, and, and I wish that I didn't, I wish that they would continue to crank out the good stuff.

Starting point is 00:42:57 I wish that everything sounded like the kind that I like. Zach Topp is a good example of, uh, like he's like's like a 90s country, which I like 80s and 70s country too. But 90s country was what I grew up on and Zack Top sounds like it and people love Zack Top. They're like, oh, this guy's great. But the thing about it is there's a lot of people making music like Zack Top, but they will not play them on the radio. And I think that's a shame. I have a friend who works for a radio station or a guy I worked with, we became friends, but I said to him, do you get to play any of your own music?

Starting point is 00:43:31 And he goes, oh no, he's like, they send the whole list and I just have to play what's on the list. So these company, so it's my belief that these big radio stations are working with the record labels and the record labels tell them what to play. And so you never get a chance. This guy can't even pepper in an artist and go, Hey, I really like this.

Starting point is 00:43:53 I'd like to start playing this. And there was like, there was a band, I forget who it was now, but I just heard this story recently. They got very popular. It was because a radio DJ in a town really liked them and started playing their music. And then it picked up and they became a success. And I just don't think that happens as much anymore because radio stations seem to be owned by record labels.

Starting point is 00:44:15 And I think that hurts us all. Yeah, I agree with you. Yeah. And fewer and fewer and fewer people listening to radio. It's like, it's like all those things happening. Yeah. Right. But maybe, you know, if you like, it's like all those things happening. Yeah. Right. But maybe, you know, if you like, like Brian said, he found a station here in

Starting point is 00:44:29 Nashville that plays country 90s country. And it's like, if we knew those things were out there, we might tune in more. But when you go, Oh, you're just going to give me the, the 10 mainstream hits. Yeah. That's not worth it. You know what I mean? But your movies are a lot of my favorites too. Excellent movie taste.

Starting point is 00:44:48 Appreciate that. Really good movie taste. Really good. You're really, you're the best editor of standup clips. I wish that I could hire you to do my standup clips. You're very good. You get creative with it. Uh, you're very good, but.

Starting point is 00:45:02 Just not good with music. Yeah. it. You're very good, but. Just not good with music. Yeah. Jalen Smith. That was Jaden Smith. Yeah. Can we talk about the political and economic state of the world? Have you seen that video? Yeah. And then that guy goes, bro. Have you seen that? That's one of my favorite clips. I watched it so many times. Jalen Smith, Dusty picked a great place for his cabin

Starting point is 00:45:27 if he likes planting trees, which he does. If you type nursery capital of the world into Google, it brings up McMinnville. It also talks about how our climate is great for growing all kinds of plants. Love the show, love hearing Dusty mention my hometown. Yeah, McMinnville's great. I now have plantedy mention my hometown. Yeah. McMinnville is great. I now have planted, uh, you know, 40 trees.

Starting point is 00:45:47 Wow. Yeah. I'm doing a show tomorrow night. McMinnville. Are you? You should stay at my cabin. I guess I will. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:45:54 Yeah. Probably just drive home, right? Yeah. It's not that far away. That's really nice. Honey, I know I need help with the kids, but I'm staying at Dusty's cabin. And I stay there. Check in on the trees.

Starting point is 00:46:05 I just built a deck. That's cool. Built a nice deck out there. A wraparound or? Yeah. Oh, wow. Wow. My mom used to say that was her dream.

Starting point is 00:46:14 Yeah. Was to have a wraparound porch. So far, looks like it's never gonna happen. You'll do that for her one day. I will one day. Yeah. I'm gonna wrap around porch. Ricky Thurston.

Starting point is 00:46:27 That got serious there for, so I like that name. Thurston Thurston to death. I'm gonna get Ricky a sprite. He's thirsty. Ricky Thurston. Aaron was expecting a big laugh with his Hawaiian shirt joke, but he only got a aloha. Only got a low ha. It's pretty good.

Starting point is 00:46:50 That's really good. That's really good. I wish I had that on me during that show. I would've, I would've broke it out for sure. Now from now on though, I still stand by Hawaii. Not. I think that's a, I think it's a good joke. I think, uh, I didn't come up with it.

Starting point is 00:47:03 It was something that group of my friends would say every time somebody had a Hawaiian, we're going to start a company, hawainot.com and try to sell Hawaiian shirts. Now someone come in and you need to, oh, you're the Eddie cat lady. I apology. I owe who an apology. Eddie cat. Yeah, I don't think I do, but why do they, because that same vein, yeah.

Starting point is 00:47:29 You know, speaking of Hawaii though, I had a friend, you know, you ever listen to that Nelly album country grammar You remember that on that in between you had said just the entertainer Doing little sketches like he was trying to call Nelly. Yeah, and on one of the you know at the end He goes, ah, ha la, you know, he's like, you know, so my friend started doing, you know, he would go Ah, that's how he would say bye to people. He'd leave a message. And then like we moved to Charleston and we started making these new friends and they, these new friends had no idea what he was saying. They thought he was saying like, mahalo, which is like, they were like, what?

Starting point is 00:48:04 Yeah, that's the deal. Why that? You're doing that. And then it's like, you're just saying nothing. Yeah. Just saying a bunch of stuff. I love a bit. I love a bit with a group of friends.

Starting point is 00:48:15 Yeah. That just becomes, you're just saying it. Nathan Sabranca, Dusty really hit a home run on his list of country songs about dads. I was wondering with Mother's Day coming up soon, if you could do the same for mother's songs. Boo.

Starting point is 00:48:34 Well, maybe that's a good segue into our topic this week. Maybe we'll save it for the end. Well, look at that. Look at that segue. Good work, Brian. This week, we're. Not too close to the end. Yeah, because you need some time. Yeah. My will

Starting point is 00:48:48 say last 30 minutes will be for you. I will say I was doing this research and it's hot. Like there's a lot of new like if you look up on Spotify, you know, songs about my country songs about moms, it's a lot of new country that I would never put in any top five list. So it's harder to find songs. Post Malone. Yeah. No, thankfully no, but it's hard to find more hard to find songs about moms than about dads. A lot of mom stuff in the title, but not really about the mom.

Starting point is 00:49:19 Right. So, but I got a list though. Okay. And it's a, I'm excited. And it's a hot one. I'm excited. So, but I got a list though. Okay.

Starting point is 00:49:22 And it's a, I'm excited. And it's a hot one. I'm excited. I found the same. We did episode on dads and for father's day, mother's days this Sunday. And we talked about, we looked at some movie dads, some TV dads, or at least good, is his dad good or bad? Things like that for moms. It was a lot harder.

Starting point is 00:49:41 Yeah. It's dominated movies are done by male actors. And I don't know, there was a lot of like, uh dominated movies are telling me by male actors. And I don't know, there was a lot of like, you disagree with that, Dusty? No, I don't know. I just, when you said it, I just thought that- I mean, sitcoms, most sitcoms, there's a million where there's a man playing a dad

Starting point is 00:49:58 and he's the lead character. And he's the doofus. And then the mom is holding the family together. Yeah, so there's not a lot of like, it'll be a weird show if the mom was the doofus and then the mom is holding the family together. Yeah. So there's, there's not a lot of like, it'll be a weird show if the mom was the doofus that's when you think. Yeah. Cause it would just change the whole tone of the show. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:50:13 If like King of Queens, if yeah, if the wife was like the overweight loser and that he was like a high strung, high achieving professional, there's the the whole every joke would be different. Yeah, it'd be a whole different show Yeah, I mean I found a few I want to throw to you guys But I'm just saying these are bad moms or good moms or we can debate whether they were good mom or bad mom You got the one from what's eating Gilbert grape? No, I know I think you're talking about that's a terrible mom. Yeah. Well, all right. I know I mean it is So Mother's Day is this Sunday? I think you're talking about. That's a terrible mom. Yeah, I know. Well, all right. I'm just kidding. I know, I mean, it is though. She is a bad mom. So Mother's Day is this Sunday.

Starting point is 00:50:47 It always falls on us. Just that she went upstairs to die. It's like, don't make this hard for us. It's been a long time since I've seen that movie, but. You remember the mom? Yeah. They could have inherited, they could have passed the house on.

Starting point is 00:51:04 Instead they wanted to save her and themselves You remember the mom? Yeah, they could have inherited they could have passed the house on instead They wanted to save her and themselves some embarrassment So they burn the house to the ground they could she could have died on the front porch And then they could have kept that house for themselves But don't you think the burning the house was symbolic in a lot of ways to burning away the past? Yeah, burning away all the bad things they've inherited from their fame But sometimes you just got to deal with your trauma in order to keep a free place to live. That's the moral. Movie reviews. Guys, let's cut the symbolism. You got to sell the house,

Starting point is 00:51:37 put that money into a Roth IRA. Yeah. Get some land. Yeah. Give yourself to God and it would be a better movie. Yes. That's funny. All right. So Mother's Day, there was a woman named Anna Jarvis who wanted to honor her mom. So she pushed for 1907 for a day called Mother's Day and took a little while for it to take off, but she kept pushing for it. And eventually it became more and more widespread to the point where by 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother's Day for the second Sunday in May

Starting point is 00:52:14 as a national holiday to honor moms. But- Now the rest of us have to do a lot of workout here. But here's the turn. Yeah, here's the turn. Yeah, here's the turn. Does he like this? Okay.

Starting point is 00:52:27 It quickly becomes so commercialized that she regrets suggesting it. She's like, this is never what I wanted to do. Oh yeah. Just wanted to be a day to honor our moms. And now it got to the point where she didn't even want Mother's Day. She started protesting Mother's Day events and try to get it canceled. So she did a complete 180. That's a great this. I love this analogy though for things. The moment the government gets involved, you're like, I wish this had never happened. Well, I think Hallmark got involved.

Starting point is 00:52:56 Yeah, it's the companies that got involved. Yeah, the government got involved and then Woodrow Wilson was like calling up Hallmark. He's like, we can both make a little money. I'll buy some stock in Hallmark. You start printing some cards. Maybe, but that's very interesting that the woman who started Mother's Day tried to stop it by the, by the end. Yeah, I love that. I never thought of this Mother's Day. It's apostrophe S not S apostrophe.

Starting point is 00:53:22 It's honoring your mom, not all moms. Mother's singular. Yeah. The day of mother. Yes, yes. Yeah. I don't know apostrophes very well. Well, if it was, I mean, I trust you.

Starting point is 00:53:36 It's not mothers plural, it's one mother. No, I understand what you're saying, but I just don't understand apostrophes in that way. Well, then how do you understand what we're saying? Well, I understand that you're saying, but I just don't understand apostrophes in that way. Well, then how do you understand what we're saying? Well, I understand that you're saying it's done incorrectly or people celebrated all mothers when they're saying it's just about your mom. Yeah. I understand that, but I just don't, I wouldn't be able to write out what you're saying.

Starting point is 00:54:00 Okay. But you can hang for the conversation. Yes. Yes. We all have jokes in our act about our mom. Have you ever had a joke? I mean, I had at least no one you did about the birds and the hurricane. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:54:13 Yeah, that was a good one. What's a good one? That one about how you hate your mom. I remember that one. Stop. She wants a wraparound porch. That's not true. That's 85% of comics have some joke

Starting point is 00:54:24 about how they hate their parents and hate their family and everything. It is true. Everything about their lives. And that's you mentioned on your podcast this week, you had a joke posted about your dad that he probably did not like. Well, yeah, I mean, this is what I go into LA. I did the stand up on the spot show and, uh, you know, I said, and I was, I'm in LA. I'm like, nobody, you know, and they the spot show. And I said, and I always say, I'm in LA, am I nobody? And they yelled out Hawaii. And I said-

Starting point is 00:54:50 Why not? Yeah. And then Jeremiah Watkins asked me, he goes, have you ever been to Hawaii? And I said, no. And I go, my dad has been married four times and he took his first three wives to Hawaii. And so now it's kind of a running joke in a way, but he's still not done it.

Starting point is 00:55:07 He refuses to take his fourth wife to Hawaii because he feels like that's a curse. And then I go, he thinks that's the curse and not yelling at everybody. And I just was being funny. Then they cut the clip up and I go, ah, man, that doesn't look good for my dad. And I'm just making jokes. You collab with it. And I know he watches my stuff. So I'm like, I'm not trying to trash my parents out here.

Starting point is 00:55:31 I was just trying to make a fun joke. He did yell at me a lot, but what dad's, you deserved it. And I yell at my kids now. We're passing it down. So I got to burn your house and start over. Yeah, exactly. Actually, I told my dad that the other day, I was talking about how a lot of parents will give their kids iPads and give them a lot of screen time.

Starting point is 00:55:52 I said, we don't do that in our family. We're old school. We just yell at our kids. Yeah. Somebody was like, man, but I used to try to joke about this. Somebody was like, this is way back in the day. I tried it with somebody. It was like, man, back in my day try to joke about this. Somebody was like, this is way back in the day. I tried it with somebody. It was like, man, back in my day, we didn't have screens, dude.

Starting point is 00:56:08 We didn't have screens. Yeah, you didn't. They weren't inventing. You don't think you would have had like, what do you think? It's just like, yeah, of course you did. Yeah. They came around after you became an adult. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:56:22 Yeah. It wasn't like good. All they had was a squirming porch. We'd go out and fill with sticks. Yeah. That's all we needed. You know, all we needed was to throw pine cones at each other and beat each other. With sick.

Starting point is 00:56:36 I got somebody, a kid threw a rock and he's still my friend though. He threw a rock, hit me in the head. I was bleeding out there in the yard. I smoked pack a day cigarettes. I looked like I was 40 when I was bleeding out there in the yard. I smoked a pack of day cigarettes. I looked like I was 40 when I was 18. Things were much better back then. I worked 14 hours a day at the mine. It was a simpler time.

Starting point is 00:56:53 We just drank microplastics out of the garden hose. Yeah, we didn't have screens. We drank out of the garden hose growing up. Now we all eat Prilosec cause our stomachs are destroyed. Well, I have a joke that's said by everyone, this is the softest generation ever. They should be, because we don't need eight-year-olds working the coal mines for 14 hours a day. Exactly. Every generation is going to be the softest because we're evolving or progressing, excuse me, as a society.

Starting point is 00:57:21 Unless something bad happens and then we need, you know, God forbid. Hard times create strong men. There you go. And behind every strong man is a strong woman. Yeah. Like our mom. Dusty, have you ever had a joke about your mom that you either regretted or you think she got upset about? Well, I had a joke I was working on for a little while where, because my, when I was a kid, this is a story I've told a million times, when I was a kid, my mom left me in a running car. And I was, I was like, not even two years old yet, but I was standing. And I, it was a gear shifter

Starting point is 00:57:56 on the, on the, on the steering wheel. And I pulled it down into drive and drove the car into a pond. And there was a lady who drowned her kids named Susan Smith. And I thought that's what Casey Anthony did. I didn't realize what it had. So I was making a joke- Accused of. Yes. And I was making a joke about that.

Starting point is 00:58:19 I said, my mom was the original Casey Anthony. And it would get a, it actually would get a huge laugh. I go, she was the original. It just didn't work out. I got out of there. Right. And, uh, I was doing the joke and then I realized it was a lady named Susan Smith. Nobody knows that name and the joke never had the impact. And I told it to my mom one time and she did not seem to care for it. So I'd never do it. She didn't like being called Casey. I wonder why I quit

Starting point is 00:58:44 doing it. But yeah, I mean, that's, I'd say, maybe the only one that I was like, nah, I wish I hadn't done that. Because, you know, did you ever try the joke? My mom was the original Susan Smith. I did. Yeah. Did it ever work? No, you have to do that in South Carolina, I think. Okay. And I actually even tried it where I prefaced who Susan Smith was. Yeah. I was about to say, maybe you just got a

Starting point is 00:59:07 little mouth and, uh, just, uh, too much set up. Yeah. Maybe, maybe I'll read. You tell the whole story. You go, all right, just keep that in mind. Yeah. It's going to come back later.

Starting point is 00:59:16 There's a reason I'm telling you that. Yeah. Uh, I have a joke. I have a, what I think is a good joke that includes a callback to a joke. That's not that good, but I have a joke. I have a, what I think is a good joke that includes a callback to a joke. That's not that good, but I have to do the joke. That's not that good. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:59:31 And sometimes that joke is not doing well. And I'm like, y'all just wait. You're going to be so happy. I told it is worth it. I've done that too. I got to sit through this joke. That's objectively not that funny, but I'm going to bring it back. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:59:44 Trust me on this. Yeah. I like that. I like that because you are, you are like, uh, you're sacrificing, uh, a bit of a laugh in the beginning for a bigger payoff later, right? And it's, that's what comedy is all about. I just try to write strong jokes throughout. Um, but anyway, you do you, Aaron.

Starting point is 01:00:06 We're all different. It's worth it for a good callback. Yeah, she did. I'm reading the Susan Smith Wikipedia. It's a dark reach. You got denied parole last November. Yeah. When you Google, again, I Google bad dads.

Starting point is 01:00:23 It's just dead beats, but you Google bad moms. It's really dark. Yeah. It's really dark. But your joke about your mom kind of making fun of her about not knowing I guess how Google works. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:00:37 It's a running joke in our family. My mom, my mom's very smart. My mom's a math teacher and, but you know, it's just an age thing. They don't use the internet as fluently as the kids do. So the joke is that my mom, when she'll Google things, she types into Google like she's writing an email to an old friend or something. Dear Google, like my son was just asking me about blah, blah, blah. That's the joke. It's a great joke. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, it's an old one.

Starting point is 01:01:04 So she was cool with it. Yeah, she was cool with it because I think it's the joke. It's a great joke. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, it's an old one. So she was cool with it. Yeah, she was cool with it because I think it's so absurd. It's not like, I'm not like, boy, my mom. It's so stupid. Yeah, what an idiot. Have you ever seen this old hack? I'm not doing any of that.

Starting point is 01:01:19 I think if it comes from a place of like, yeah, we're just poking fun. I actually wrote a bunch of jokes about my mom, uh, smoking cigarettes and, uh, I'll get it. But really at the time I was, I was taking three people and combining them because it's too much to have all these characters. My sister used to smoke cigarettes with the windows up in the car with her kids. My sister used to smoke cigarettes with the windows up in the car with her kids. And my uncle used to smoke and would always bring me things from the Marlboro catalog

Starting point is 01:01:50 for Christmas. Yeah. And then my grandfather used to smoke and my mom would say he would smoke with the windows rolled in the car and she would get down in the floorboard almost to like escape the smoke. Wow. So I just kind of combine all those. My mom actually never smoked cigarettes. I was surrounded by people that smoke cigarettes,

Starting point is 01:02:11 but my mom's not. Did you grow up in a trailer? I did grow up in a trailer. My sister lived next door to her and she, they would both, her and her husband would both smoke cigarettes inside. And I would go, I stayed with them for a while because they lived next door to us

Starting point is 01:02:24 because my mom worked third shift. And I got go, I stayed with them for a while because they live next door to us because my mom worked third shift. And I got prank called one time by someone who said they were going to kill me. And so it was a collect call. You remember, you used to get collect calls where it would say it was a recording and it would say, they you this is an AT&T incoming call. Yeah, I'm gonna kill you, Dusty. Exactly. It was like, it said, this is an AT&T collect call from, I know where you live, you're dead.

Starting point is 01:02:47 And I was like, Oh God. So I started, I stopped staying by myself. I was too young probably to be doing that anyway, but I started staying with my sister and they smoked so much inside that I was like, I don't know. I think I'm going to start staying by myself. I'll risk death. It's worth the risk. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:06 Yeah. Did you ever figure out who did that? No, we did call the police. That's a crazy prank call. I'm trying to think that's your refrigerator running. That's about all we did. Yeah. This is middle of the night.

Starting point is 01:03:15 Middle of the night I'm asleep. I wake up, I ran to my sister's house in my underwear and- Was it a kid or an adult? It was an adult. I think what it was, it was my mom's number in the phone book. So I think they were just, cause they called- Oh, so somebody tried to kill your mom. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:31 They called later and left another message and that was more geared towards a woman. That are things that I can't say. And that's, you know, so when the cops came, that's what recording we let them listen to. And, uh, Yeah. Okay. I was thinking these were your buddies from school. Oh, no. Call it as a prank. That's pretty. Yeah. That's, that's different. Yeah. That's not really a prank. That's a, uh, felony. Yeah. Yeah. So the, um, so yeah, I mean, I was surrounded by, you know, my mom used to go to this other lady's house and we would

Starting point is 01:04:09 go there and they would sit around and drink coffee and they had a little lazy Susan in there. They would drink coffee and that lady would just smoke cigarettes right there in the kitchen. I was probably 10 drinking coffee and you know, getting into it, breathing in smoke. Yeah. All right, guys, let me tell you a little bit about AG one. AG one you've all heard me talking about for so long.

I know you don't do Mother's Day, but- I'm not against Mother's Day.

Starting point is 01:06:02 I mean, I think I feel like I'm forced into it. Last year, I didn't give my wife or no two years ago, I didn't give my wife anything for Mother's Day because it never even crossed my mind. My, my wife is my wife. My whole entire life. I've given things such a funny excuse. I wasn't thinking about it. Well, yeah, I mean, legitimately, it's like my whole life, I get my mom something for Mother's Day. And my wife is not my mom. Oh, that was the first one where your wife was a mom.

Starting point is 01:06:33 Yeah. Oh, okay, I get that. And my wife is not my mom. So it never crossed my mind. Did you get your mom something that year? Probably not. Okay. Okay.

Starting point is 01:06:42 So, Aaron, this is Lucy's first Mother's Day. It is. I'm just, I'm just thinking about that now. Okay. I guess that answers my question. Yeah. I got to get something. Get something from Olive.

Starting point is 01:06:54 Which is more important, would you say? Y'all been doing, you've been doing this a while. Do you think Mother's Day is more important in terms of what you do? Do you think it's more important to your wife or to your actual mom? Uh, neither. So you had to prioritize. Yeah. Neither one of them care that much, or at least that's what I tell myself.

Starting point is 01:07:21 They're like, ah, they don't even care. Yeah. Uh, see if whichever one I say, he's going to act like it matters to them and it really doesn't. But I guess my mom. There's a TikTok that went viral of a guy interviewing people on the street. And I usually hate those videos. I'm so sick of the street interview stuff. But there's one, they're just asking guys rank, rank, rank your mom, your wife and your daughter, rank them in terms of

Starting point is 01:07:53 like how you have to, who you care the most about. It's great. I think it's obviously, I don't even know if I want to do this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just tell us who's third. But every people had different people had totally different based on their relationship.

Starting point is 01:08:12 I mean, let's just, it's just like who's most important to enter, who you're supposed to protect or help or stuff like that. Well, there's a pretty obvious answer that nobody wants to say, I think. But it's not important. Shouldn't be a thing, but it's. I don't remember how it was framed. But it, I mean, really it should be daughter, wife, mother. That's what I thought. Because it's your daughter, you brought your daughter into the world and that

Starting point is 01:08:37 is like, she relies on you for protection, but your wife is married to you and you should be protecting your wife and your mom hopefully has your dad to do those things for her. Now I know as people get older, in my case, they're, they're divorced and you know, but it's, I mean, that's what it should be. Yeah. But I can see how easily anybody could be offended by that order. Yeah. Now I'll say ideally all three of those people, their interests would be harmonious.

Starting point is 01:09:03 You never have to pick between the three. Yeah. Now I'll say ideally all three of those people, their interests would be harmonious. You never have to pick between the three. But you'd be amazed at the people that were like, nah, man, that's still my mom. My mom's number one. Still one guy was like my mom, my wife, my daughter. I was like, oh my God. My mom, my wife, my sons, my neighbors, and then my daughters, man. Yeah. Anyway. So you're going to have to do something for Lucy. Yeah, I'll get her something. I'll get her something. I did not know this. Mother's Day, busiest day of the year for restaurants. Wow.

Starting point is 01:09:42 I feel like I knew that. If you asked me, maybe I wouldn't know, but when I waited tables, it was a big day. Yeah. Especially Western Sizzling. It was popping. Yeah. I mean, it makes sense. Father's Day, very often the mom will cook, but Mother's Day, dad's like, we'll go out. Yeah. Yeah. It's cooking himself. Yeah. We'll go get something. I'm guessing during the day is a, do you go get dinner for mother's day? I think it's a,

Starting point is 01:10:10 I think it's like a brunt because it's Sunday. So it's a brunch after church, after church or something. That's what I was thinking. Yeah. That's why I would have guessed Valentine's day for that reason, because it's like one meal that everybody goes. I don't know. My brother-in-law is from Michigan and from a, a fairly, you know, well off family and he would tell me growing up mother's day was huge. They would go out to big dinners. Everybody would dress up.

Starting point is 01:10:38 It was like pretty wild. How, how nice mother's day was. And his first mother's day down in Alabama with us, we went out for my grandmother. And he said it was the first time he ever thought, what am I doing in this family? Because my grandmother really liked Burger King. And that's where she wanted to go.

Starting point is 01:11:02 So for Mother's Day, we went to Burger King for my grandmother because she liked Burger King. Yeah. And my brother-in-law was like, what have I done? And I'm sure cause it was a great meal. Yeah. He had a great time. Right.

Starting point is 01:11:18 Burger King in the nineties. Come on. You know what I mean? You had to hold the whopper in two hands. Yeah. I mean, my mom's, she's 81. She's like that now. She told me the other day, she said, I went out with some friends to eat.

Starting point is 01:11:31 We went to some place, Panera's. And she said, I didn't really care for it that much. I got a sandwich and soup or whatever, $12. And she's like, she thought the price was just outrageous. So she's like, I don't really care. Which maybe it is a little bit and we're all jaded to it. Maybe, but that's fancy eating to her. Yeah, that's hilarious.

Starting point is 01:11:53 I love it. Paneras. Mother's Day is also the busiest day of the year for phone calls. More phone calls are made than any other time of the year. Which I kind of- Yeah. I'd like to see the breakdown.

Starting point is 01:12:06 Do you FaceTime your mom or do you call? I'd like to see the breakdown on FaceTimes versus calls. I'd like to see you see me FaceTime with my mom. And then the voodoo that she thinks is going on. Yeah. I agree though with your mom on that. On what? You don't like FaceTime? No I do but it is weird though that we just have this kind of like weird black mirror here that we can conjure up anything we want. I think that's a

Starting point is 01:12:34 little weird sometimes. Yeah it's probably not good that it's in our pockets. Yeah. Yeah it's killing us all. Yeah. Yeah. All right look at that. I agree with you on that. Yeah I'm with you. I'm not gonna stop doing what I'm doing you. And I'm with you. I'm not going to stop doing what I'm doing, but no, that's what I'm saying. I've acknowledged that it's not good. Yeah. You ever look around the airport and just everybody's. Yeah, it is. When you step out of it for a second and look around, it's bizarre. Yeah. When I'm at the airport and I take a break from my phone and look at everybody else and I go, what are you doing?

Starting point is 01:13:03 And then I go right back there. Yeah, I don't think I've ever taken a break. But I remember the stigma used to be you're on your computer. What a nerd. I remember we had a family computer growing up. I played Warcraft 2 on it and I loved it. I'm in there playing on it.

Starting point is 01:13:19 And then like my dad and brother would come in and go, what are you doing? Like there's people here being a nerd on the computer. Now everybody has a computer and they're just looking at it. All day. It is wild. Even my dad, I got a lot of home videos where the TV is like at a volume, a thousand percent.

Starting point is 01:13:38 And it's like, but that's what's going on in my dad's house now. The TV's on a thousand percent. And then his phone is as loud as it goes and he's scrolling tick-tock, you know, my dad is, my dad's all over the, that's why that clip is like, I know he's going to see it and I feel bad about it. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:13:57 But I was like, I already told you, he's going to do edit. I wish that would go viral. That's the viral I need. My dad yelling at me on the duet. That ain't true. That ain't true. That would be great. Some religions practice Mother's Day differently.

Starting point is 01:14:21 On Mormons, they begin Mother's Day celebration with a family prayer, have breakfast together, and go to church as a family. Albeit wise guys, May 16th and 17th. And I think that's wonderful. Well, that is a good way to go about it. I don't disagree with that. You know, I looked up good moms in the Bible. Mary's pretty high up there.

Starting point is 01:14:40 Mary? I never- Do we know how good of a mom Mary was though? I'm not slandering her, but do we know? Like one time she lost Jesus for several days and then had to go find him at the temple. And she's like, we've been looking for you. And Jesus was like, you're looking for me. Where do you think I'd be? My father's house. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of a smart out here response. Yeah. Yeah. He's been missing for days.

Starting point is 01:15:03 I don't know. I'll give a little credit. The kid that she got a supernatural kid. That's probably tough to keep track of. Yeah, it is tough. Yeah. I think she was a pretty good mom. I bet so. But also human. Yes. Make that clear. Yes. Fully human and fully. Yeah. Anyway, just want to be theologically accurate. Fully human and fully divine. I don't know them anyway. But Ares? What? Okay, let's keep going. What? He's not 50-50. Fully both. She's a sweet woman. She's a nice gal. Yeah. No, I'm talking about Jesus. Jesus, yeah. Oh, okay. Mary's not divine. Okay. Well, that's, you know. Okay,

Starting point is 01:15:42 I thought that's what you were getting at. No, I were getting at. I know Catholics think very highly of her. Talking about JC. Okay. All right. Anyway. Glad we did all that. Yeah, take a break to pray for you. Here's what I've never made the connection because it's talking about good moms in the Bible and one of them they mentioned was Hannah. And I was like, oh, that's like Dusty's wife, Hannah. She was the mother of Samuel. And I don't think I'd ever knew. Is that why y'all named him Samuel?

Starting point is 01:16:13 It is, yeah. That is ultimately why we went with the name Samuel. Whoa. Yeah. Hmm. How about that? Yeah. That's really cool. Yeah. Yeah. Would you ever go with a New Testament name?

Starting point is 01:16:23 Uh, well, I mean, I feel like a lot of the New Testament names are taken. Yeah. John, Matthew, James. Yeah. You know. Judas. Apostles. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:16:34 Acts. I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe I'll name a son Revelation. My mom almost named my brother Moses. Really? No, I liked the name Moses, but I was like, it is too, it's, it's, you know. Well, I'm just kidding. Cause it's old test.

Amazing. Uh, the record for being the most mom for the most kids, single woman, 69. Woman had 69 kids. Wow.

Starting point is 01:19:33 Uh. My choice, or is this some horrific situation? Well, she had 16 pair of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets. Did she? This was in the 1700s. Okay. So she probably didn't have a say in this.

Starting point is 01:19:47 Probably not. She says, this is some guy trying to break the record. Maybe she had a say. There's a woman in Russia. But also maybe they were like, we need some farm hands. Yeah. You know?

Starting point is 01:19:57 Yeah. Yeah. Do we need 60 of them though? Yeah, we got, we got our ranch. That's a town. Yeah. Yeah. That's a full college football roster.

Starting point is 01:20:06 Sixty people. All right. So, all right. I looked at sitcoms. Well, hold on. Do you know any more about that story? Why did she set out to break the record? Or is this in the seventeen hundred? She's like, I want to be in Guinness. Or did she just look up and go, hey, I think I've done this more than anybody. When they finally got to 69, they fist pound and they were like, we did it. Poor husband holds the record for most children. 87 with two wives.

Starting point is 01:20:32 Whoa. So this guy, he had it going on. That's before you could donate and be a father that way, right? So there's guys way more than that now, I bet. There's guys with hundreds. There actually was a great Vince Vaughn movie

Starting point is 01:20:48 about that that I watched. I forget what it was called, but it was- That's all TikTok. It was really, it's a really good movie. It's funny. You know, it starts off a little gross and then it has a real heartfelt turnaround to it. I really enjoyed it.

Starting point is 01:21:00 I forget what it's called, but it's Vince Vaughn. And he fathers a lot of kids? Yeah, you know, in the way that Aaron is talking about. And it's called Delivery Man. Yeah. And it's really good. You know, I liked it. I'm a big fan of it.

Starting point is 01:21:13 Vince Vaughn, Chris Pratt. It's a good cast. Yeah. All right. Let's get into some TV and movies before we get to your top songs. It's OK. All right, sitcoms. There

Starting point is 01:21:26 was, did you guys watch the show Mom? With Alice and Janie? Alice and Janie and Ferris. Oh yeah, I've seen that a bunch. My dad actually really likes that and when I go to his house it's on. Is that a spin-off from Hot in Cleveland? Is that even related? I don't think so. I never watched it. Hot in Cleveland was the Betty White. Yeah. What made you think it's a spinoff? It just feels like the same universe. Terrible mom. Tare. They're both terrible moms.

Starting point is 01:21:50 Wait, wait. And what show and mom really, who are the moms in Alison, Janie and okay. And affairs is Alison Janie's daughter. And then Anna Ferris has kids and they're both alcoholics, both recovering addicts. Yeah. Oh, okay. But they're getting it together now.

Starting point is 01:22:05 Yeah, I think she's still a bad mom. Okay, what does she do? Just a lot, like, they frame it in a nice Hollywood way, but if these people were just living down the street from you, you would be like, oh, gosh. They all live together? Yeah, I think so. I don't think Anna has custody of her children in the show.

Starting point is 01:22:26 Yeah. It addresses real life issues like alcoholism, drug addiction, teen pregnancy, addictive gambling, homelessness, relapse. It's a lot, pretty heavy for a show. Was it a funny? It's a comedy. It is funny. They're both very funny, those two actresses.

Starting point is 01:22:40 Anna Faris is one of the funniest to me. I know. I really enjoy her. I like the show, but I'm just saying, what are you, you're saying they're good moms? No, I'm not even saying that. I'm just saying there was a show called Mom. Hmm. I put it in here.

Starting point is 01:22:53 Yeah, that's really all he said. Oh, okay, okay. I thought we were doing good moms, bad moms. So you're saying this is the best show of all time about moms. Say it's gotta be up there. Say if you're looking to raise a child, watch this show. All right, let me throw out some bad moms and you tell me if you agree.

Starting point is 01:23:07 Uh, Peg Bundy married with children. I, well, you can, maybe you can weigh in, but I, I think that in that relationship, Peg has to deal with Al and I think Al is a terrible father. And I think Peg's doing the best she can in that relationship. He's not a great husband either. Right. He's just a curmudgeon. Yeah. I think she's doing the best she can in that relationship. And he's not a great husband either. He's just a curmudgeon. Yeah. I think she's doing the best she can. Really? Yeah. I think that they're a horrible family, but I think Al is so bad that Peg's just doing

Starting point is 01:23:35 what she can do. But he's at least out there working, trying to make a living. But she's, you know, essentially the stay at home mom though. But she just undermines him all the time and. Does she really? Yeah. And like emasculates him like, I don't know. I always found Peg very attractive.

Starting point is 01:23:54 Well, now we're getting to the bottom of it. Yeah. Um, I was like, if I was married to Peg, I'd be treating her a lot better than that. That's to get a little thing for Peg Bundy. Raymond's mom and everybody loves Raymond. I think she's a great mom. Sorry, you can answer some of these. Ah, I mean, that's like the whole point of the show is the, the tough relationship she has with Raymond, right? Overbearing.

Starting point is 01:24:24 And her parents, her parents are the, his parents are the problem in the show. Well, that's what we're talking about. We're talking about that mom. Oh, that mom. Yeah. Not Patricia Heaton's character. Oh, no. She's great.

Starting point is 01:24:34 I think that mom's a bad mom. Yeah, she's crazy. Probably was good growing up, but now she won't let go of them. She definitely won't let go. They live next door, right? Yeah. In the show.

Starting point is 01:24:44 It's crazy. But also the dad's a bad dad. I think if the dad were a better dad and husband, she would not be as bad. But I don't think Raymond is a great husband in the show either. No, I don't, I agree. There is an episode of that show where Raymond and his wife are at

Starting point is 01:25:02 like their kids little league game and everybody, I don't know, the wife does something that gets everybody mad at her. And Raymond like retreats and lets them like attack his wife instead of standing up for her. Even though the dilemma was she was wrong about whatever they were mad about. And I remember talking to my dad about that. My dad was like, well, that's part of marriage. Even when they're wrong, you have to, you can't team up with strangers. Never.

Starting point is 01:25:31 Right. Yeah. So I, that's, that's like a go-to example in my head of like a bad husband behavior is from that show. But I think that was part, he learns his lesson in the show. It's not like he was rewarded for that or anything. Yeah. I think that, you know, Raymond's problem is his parents. His parents messed him up and now he's just trying to cope out here. That's right. Burn the house. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the longer this goes on, the more I'm like, burn the house.

Starting point is 01:26:03 Do you guys watch Arrested Development? Yeah. A little bit. A little bit of it. Lucille Bluth. Yeah. Uh, it's maybe the worst TV mom of all time. These are all like comically bad moms. What about Livia Soprano?

Starting point is 01:26:17 I never watched the show. She tried to have her son killed. Okay. I'm not saying, well, I don't know the son. But he was a gangster, Tony Soprano. He was a, he was a gangster. Oh, I could have had a gun. Yeah. Uh, Peggy Hill,'t know the son. But he was a gangster, Tony Soprano. He was a, he was a gangster. So maybe she was a good one. Yeah. Uh, Peggy Hill, King of the Hill. Peggy is in my opinion, a great mom, great mom, but Peggy has plenty of flaws, uh, that get her

Starting point is 01:26:38 in trouble, but I do think great mom, not necessarily the best person and not necessarily the best wife great mom though mm-hmm. That's what I think right What do you think I agree with you? All right? What about this Pam's mom on the office? Which one she had two different moms I know I know the one who hooked up with Michael her boss Well, they dated you know their boyfriend girlfriend who hooked up with Michael, her boss. Well, they dated. You know, they were boyfriend girlfriend. Okay. Well, then dated her boss. I don't know if she... I never made it that far in the show.

Starting point is 01:27:11 I think that's not good. To date your daughter's boss. Yeah. But I think you're also... But even at the end of it, Pam gave her her blessings, right? Let me ask this though. Did Pam's mom leave Pam's dad? Or how did that? They had a divorce. They got divorced.

Starting point is 01:27:29 How did it, who divorced who? It was the, if I remember correctly, Pam's dad told his wife, I will never love you the way that Jim loves my daughter. And the way that, uh, Jim loves my daughter. And I realized that like, you walk into a room and I feel nothing.

Starting point is 01:27:52 So they just fell out of love. Uh, well, I can't, I don't know. I can't stand with Pam's mom then. I don't, I don't see. It was, he divorced her. He divorced, he did divorce her. Yeah. Cause the way you framed it is he said it and then she left him

Starting point is 01:28:06 I thought so if he divorced her I'm with Pam's mom. Okay, I support it. Yeah, because yeah, hey Michael's a bit of a loser, but I think he's a good case. We got he's an idiot Look how it ended up breaking up though. You realize she was too old. That's true He was also a really terrible guy Pam was looking out for her mom He was also a really terrible guy. Yeah. Yeah. Pam was looking out for her mom. Abby Bartlett from the West Wing. Oh man.

Starting point is 01:28:34 Great wife, great first lady. Okay. We don't know a lot about. She was a surgeon. Yeah. She was a good doctor. So probably not a great mom. Weren't the kids messed up?

Starting point is 01:28:47 I just think if you spend a lot of time, if your husband's the president, and then you're a surgeon, you're probably not spending a lot of time with the kids. Yeah, she has a good relationship with two of them for sure, but it's like, it's complicated because they live the least normal life of all time. So who knows?

Starting point is 01:29:05 I mean how good of a mom can like I don't know Laura Bush be I'm sure she's I don't know I have no idea, but you're just I gotta go on a helicopter to Austria tomorrow mm-hmm. Sorry. I can't be at your volleyball game now I read there was an episode where he tried to get one of his daughters to get into politics and didn't understand why she didn't want to follow his footsteps. You don't remember that? No, I don't think that. I think. Okay. His son, a guy who was trying to, guy who was marrying his daughter was trying to get into politics and use his

Starting point is 01:29:41 relationship to the president. I like how much conflict these comments we're making can potentially cause. I like that. Wait, what do you mean? The comment section of this podcast saying these people are good moms or bad moms. I like that. Are you thinking it's going to raise a lot of comments? I think so.

Starting point is 01:29:55 That's going to be great. Yeah. It's all about the clicks. Um, only good moms listen to this podcast. It's all good moms. Yeah. Oh, I still see a couple of movies. Uh, Sally field in Forrest Gump.

Starting point is 01:30:05 Uh, terrible mom. I'm sorry. Why? She was looking out for a special son. Well, I guess you're right. She did. She did. She went above and beyond to get her kid into school.

Starting point is 01:30:18 She did make some sacrifices to get him into school. You know what? I'm not seeing the movie in a long time. I do remember that now. I guess I was just thinking about Jenny and I'm going to give Sally Fields more credit. What does she have to do with Jenny? No, I just, when I think about Forrest Gump, I just think about Jenny, how terrible of a person she was.

Starting point is 01:30:38 And then it just- You know, the mom, you got, you gotta give her the, the context of the understanding single mother and rural Alabama in the fifties raising a kid with disabilities. Like, yeah, I'm going to give it up to our Sally fields. Good mom in that movie. I liked the timelines don't match up, but I like to think for scumps, Burt Reynolds kid from Smokey and the Bandit I think we'd all like to think that yeah

Starting point is 01:31:12 What about Toni Collette in Sixth Sense Great mom right because she stood up for her son who had clearly had some issues and stood up for him and did she I mean she didn't just like like when he was being shoved into a oh yeah she she protects you protected him and then just think he's crazy also single mother with a with raising a kid who's complicated I'm not as familiar with the movie but I do love Tony Collette yeah you know I just don't I know I know. I know. I think let's all see.

Starting point is 01:31:45 Yeah. Tony, that's really great. Now imagine your kid telling you, I see dead people. Yeah. And you're trying to raise this kid alone. And then the kids start saying, Hey, grandma came and visited me today. And your mom's been dead for years. How do you handle that?

Starting point is 01:32:00 I'm going to believe it. And it's going to freak me out. He's going to have to go stay with his sister. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Molly Weasley from Harry Potter. A great mom. It's like the prototypical that let's say witchcraft. Okay. And it becomes essentially becomes Harry Potter's mom in that show. There's a line in the show where they said, Molly, Harry's not your kid. And she says he might as well be. And he overhears it. And it's a special relationship. She says he might as well be, and he overhears it. And it's a special relationship. She says, he might as well be all this dinner

Starting point is 01:32:47 I'm preparing for him. I don't know, I've never seen it. But. It's always over here. She kills Bellatrix Lestrange, so. Whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's hard to spoil the book.

Starting point is 01:32:57 It's been out for 20 years, but it's worth it. What do you think? I never, I don't have any idea. I know Ron Weasley, that's a redheaded kid. Yeah. But I don't. She's got a whole, she's got like seven kids, I think, and they're poor and they have red hair and that's pretty much it, but she's like a good mom.

Starting point is 01:33:13 Yeah. And she's a little like overweight and jolly looking. Okay. I like an overweight jolly. Yeah. I'll see where we're going here. Pleasant. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:33:21 Pegs, don't call Peg overweight. Well, who did? Oh, I thought you were making, she's still on the screen and then she's redhead. She's redheaded and then you said, now we're making some headway. No, I was making fun of Aaron. Oh, okay. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. As IRusso's mom and Karate Kid. Well, there is some debate that I've seen on some stuff about why she moved her son all the way across the country like she did. So I don't, we don't know those details, but I'm leaning towards bad mom. I've never seen it.

Starting point is 01:34:07 Really? I think she's a bad mom because she moved her son all the way across the country away from all of his friends. He alludes that she never even discussed it with him. Yeah. And that she didn't even seem to really have the job when she showed up to where she was going. Was she escaping an abusive relationship or something?

Starting point is 01:34:25 Well, that's what I wonder. So we don't know enough details. There's some details that- I think she has the job, right? I don't, I thought she didn't like, she ended up waiting tables or something. But, but- I don't think so.

Starting point is 01:34:36 Some people, some theory, fan theories are that they were, you know, like maybe she was married to a guy in the mob and she was escaping. And that's what this was all about. Well, she's a case great mom. She's a single mom trying to take it. Now she does let him just hang out with the maintenance man all day. I'm really good friends and credit kid too.

Starting point is 01:34:55 He goes to, she lets him go to Okinawa where he fights to the death. So that could have gone bad. By that time he's out of high school though. He's an adult at that point. He was about to go to college and he held off, but, uh, yeah. Yeah. I am a big fan of the series. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:35:12 And, uh, of the series of movies and I've watched a little bit of Cobra Kai. I don't have as much time as I used to to, uh, but. I finally finished it. I, I, I, I'm on the last season. Yeah. What do you think the best marriage in a TV show or movie is? You see, like bad marriages, love it every now and then, like, there's a really good you're watching Friday Night Lights.

Starting point is 01:35:34 I didn't. That's like that's a great marriage. Another one would say home improvement. Home improvement. That's what I was going to say. Like he's he's a doofus, obviously. But I don't know if felt like a good marriage. Last's a doofus obviously, but I don't know if it felt like a good marriage. Last man standing, he has a good marriage with his wife. I've never watched that show. That's a good one.

Starting point is 01:35:51 The Cosby show. Tim Allen, great husband. Yeah. That's what we know. Actually, a lot of the 90, like Uncle Phil from The Fresh Prince, they had a great marriage, even though his wife got mysteriously switched out on the show. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:36:03 Family Matters seemed like that, a great marriage, even though the wife moved the mother-in-law, the mother-in-law in, which I don't support. And so I don't feel like that was a good move on her part. We put Carl in a tight spot and let's see, growing pains. I don't know that one. It's a little bit former. I'm a little bit older than you guys. So the Cosby show was- Cosby show was great. And they were- We didn't know what Cliff. It's a little bit former. I'm a little bit older than you guys. So the Cosby show was big. Cosby show was great. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:36:25 And they were. We didn't know what Cliff Huxtable was up to. Yeah. But Claire Huxtable was a great mom. Yeah. And they kind of worked together. I mean, there were some funny back and forth, but they, they, it was a show where they were in charge and not the kids.

Starting point is 01:36:39 Step by step, Patrick Duffy, Suzanne Summers. I mean, of course they were both divorced or whatever, but they came together. Good marriage, Brady bunch, same situation. Good marriage though. They were divorcees, you know, but they were, they came together. I think that showing good families used to be prevalent and then they got into showing bad families. I actually think, uh, we mentioned that Kevin James and whatever that show was.

Starting point is 01:37:05 Uh, I think they had a great marriage. I liked that show a lot. Yeah. They're the king of Queens. Yeah. Yeah. It's complicated. They had no kids.

Starting point is 01:37:13 They had no kids. So what about Skylar White? Miscarriage at one point. It's pretty dark episode. Oh yeah. Skylar White. I've only learned this from the internet, but is the most hated wife of all time, I think. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:37:28 But a pretty good mom, right? Seems to be a good mom, other than, uh, you know, laundering millions of dollars with her, uh, meth cook husband. Well, she didn't do it easily. Laundered the money and allowed him to do it and, uh, opened up car washes with illicit, illicit money. And yeah, she was involved in a lot of, I'll tell you what, the internet hates her.

Starting point is 01:37:54 I know, which I think I did the first time I watched it. She was so annoying to me. Cause you're rooting for this guy who's objectively horrible and has killed people and you know, cooking meth and selling it all over the world. Right. But, and she is just a spoke in the wheel. And you're like, shut up. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:38:10 But look at her, look at her life. Yeah. She's, she's, you know, they got, uh, a son with, uh, cerebral palsy. Yeah. And then their husband's just a chemist, a professor, a teacher and high school teacher, they're living a normal life. Right. And then one day he's like meth kingpin. Well, he gets cancer. Yeah, yeah. But I'm saying he becomes meth kingpin. Yeah. And yeah, I mean, that's going to shake it up. Yeah. But then she

Starting point is 01:38:37 finds out and she becomes complicit in it for like a year. Probably afraid. She liked the power and the money too. She got off on it. Yeah. All right, Dusty, you want to give us your top songs? Oh yeah. Here we go. Okay. About moms?

Starting point is 01:38:54 All right, so- I want to honorable mention a song for Mama by Boyz II Men. Well you know what? Not really a country song. It could be on there. It could be on there. Well you know what I was finding as I, you know, there is two songs, uh, that Five Voicemen?

Starting point is 01:39:06 No, there's one by Tupac called, uh, uh, I wrote it down called, um, Yo Mary. Dear Mama. Dear Mama. That's a really good one. The first verse of the Nelly song, Lovin' Me is about his mom. The second verse gets pretty dirty. Mama said Knock You Out by LL Coolidge.

Starting point is 01:39:25 I'm not as familiar. Okay. Here we go. Brian's walkups. All right. So we're going to, obviously we're going to start with a few, uh, few that are not in the top five. Um, okay.

Starting point is 01:39:36 So we got five, but we're going to do some honorable mentions. Yeah. Do Hannah do a list too? No, no. Okay. Okay. So here we go. This is, this is the first one I'm going to start with, but not

Starting point is 01:39:44 technically on the list. Okay. So here we go. This is this is the first one I'm gonna start with but not technically on the list Okay, it's the first one everybody thinks of when they think about songs about mama's I think and that's mama's Don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Good song one of the best Nothing really to do with mama. I was gonna say yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so that's why here's one You you like this girl a lot Ashley McBride It's a song called light on in the kitchen It's a really good mom song and it really focuses on mom

Starting point is 01:40:14 But I'll be honest with you not a huge fan of the song Okay I feel like if you're a girl and you and you in this resonates with you Ashley McBride had one on the list from the fathers called, Bible in a 40 Bible in a 44. Really great. All right. Here's one by Holly Williams, daughter of Hank Williams, Jr. called mama. And it's about the breakup of her mom and Hank Williams, Jr. and how strong her mom was. Good song about moms.

Starting point is 01:40:49 Um, not that into it. Yeah. Uh, here's one that I am into and we're getting to the top five. Is this number five? No, no, no. Okay. Yeah. This is a really good one.

Starting point is 01:40:58 Uh, it's, it's, it is a bit about the mom, but it's Dolly Parton, code of many colors. Yeah. Really good song. Um, really good. It is a bit about the mom, but it's Dolly Parton, Coat of Many Colors. Yeah. Really good song. Really good. Here's one called by, still not there yet. We're almost there.

Starting point is 01:41:12 You don't wanna talk about- This was a movie? Coat of Many Colors? Coat of Many Colors is, yeah, I mean, it's about her growing up poor and her mom, she didn't have a coat and her mom had all these rags and she sewed them together and Dolly Parton was really proud of it. And then she went to school and everybody made fun of her for it.

Starting point is 01:41:36 But it's really great. It meant a lot to her. I like the song. Yeah, it's great. Big fan of it. Here's one by a guy named Justin Townes Earl. This would be number six and then we're going to get into it. Here's one by a guy named Justin Towns Earl. This would be number six and then we're going to get into it. Okay. Number six, Mama's Eyes by Justin Towns Earl. Now, if

Starting point is 01:41:54 you're listening to this, it's the 90% of this song is about his dad. It's about how much like his dad he is. And Justin Towns-Earl's dad is Steve Earl, who was a bit of a partier from my understanding, bit of a drug addict, kind of drug Justin along. And Justin was also a bit of an addict, has passed away now, not exactly sure how it happened, but he, so the song is like how much like his dad he is. But then at the end, he says, he's, he says he

Starting point is 01:42:25 lights a cigarette in the mirror and sees his reflection. He's like, I got my mama's eyes, you know? And then he says, I can still see wrong from right. Cause I got my mama's eyes. So I think it's really good. I love it.

Starting point is 01:42:37 All right, here we go. Here we go. Number five, a band called Confederate railroad, a song called Jesus and Mama. Really good. And a lot of these, at least three of the songs in my top five are going to follow this same theme. This is about a guy who had a lot of problems and his mom, his Jesus and mama always loved

Starting point is 01:43:00 him and he knew that and it was guiding him. Okay? All right. Here's number four, Johnny paycheck. I'm the only hell mama ever raised. And this song is a hard hitting song. I mean, it is Johnny paycheck is unbelievable. I don't listen to this song.

Starting point is 01:43:20 My friend, Alec parents says he believes Johnny paycheck is the best country singer ever. And Johnny Paycheck has really, really great songs. There's a line in this song that I don't like that turns me off of it and keeps me not listening to it. But he is just describing his character. He says, she tried to turn me on to Jesus, but I turned on to the devil's ways. Right? That's the line you don't like. That's the line I don't like because I don't like singing that. But he's just describing his character. His mom tried really hard to turn me on to Jesus, but I kept going the other way. Great song. Okay. Number three. This is very similar, but a lighter version. This is called Mama Tried by Merle Haggart. Same kind of theory as the Johnny Paychuk song but a lighter version except for he says I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole so obviously

Starting point is 01:44:17 he did something pretty bad. Yeah. Number two, debatable if this is a country song but I think it is. And it's my opinion, one of the best songs ever written, Simple Man by Leonard Skinner. It's all about his mom giving him advice. Huh. A hundred percent about his mom giving him advice. It's one of the best songs ever written and everybody yells Free Bird and they should be yelling simple man.

Starting point is 01:44:48 It's a good song. Yeah. All right. They're going to play it. Honorable mention. No, he's going to do that before the first one. All right. This is going to be fancy by Reba McIntyre. Wow. I'm not saying she's a good mom, but much like Sally fields, in this song Reba, this is also a Bobby, I believe it's a Bobby Gentry song, but she realizes that her, and may not be the right person, but it's, it's written by someone else, but her mom realizes,

Starting point is 01:45:16 Hey, uh, things are not going well and it's not going to get better for us, but I got an opportunity for you in, and you know, and as the song develops, Reba McIntyre's characters says how she appreciated what her mom did for her. And now she's got, you know, a mansion and a hotel suite and New Orleans, I think. And she's doing well, life turned around. She says, uh, her mom says, uh, I'm real sick and the baby's going to start with death. So, okay. So number one, now number one is my favorite. And I think it is the best song about moms. But the

Starting point is 01:45:53 title is deceiving. The title is so much like my dad by George Strait. And what the song is about is his wife, the character George George Strait, let's say, his wife is leaving him. She said she's going to leave. And so he's returning home and he's having a conversation with his mom. He said, I know that I've surprised you coming home. It's not my usual time of year. And he gets into telling his mom about what is going on. And then he says, she said she's going to leave me, mama. And he gets into telling his mom about what is going on.

Starting point is 01:46:25 And then he says, she said she's gonna leave me mama and nothing's gonna make her stay. And then he says, but he said, if, and she said, he says to his mom, you always said I was so much like my dad. So if I'm so much like my dad, there must've been times you felt this way. So tell me word for word what he said that always made you stay.

Starting point is 01:46:47 Very powerful song. Yeah. And deserves the number one spot. Wow. Oh, Dusty Slay's top five country songs about moms. Yeah, that's great. You guys like that list? It's a good one.

Starting point is 01:46:58 Big time. I thought of one Reba McIntyre, another Reba. Is there life out there? Oh, yeah, that's a good one. Well, I am, as I said early on, this was a hard list to put together because as I was thinking about it, I was like, what are there? Now, if you look on Spotify, there's songs about moms. I didn't like any of those songs, but is there life out there is a good one.

Starting point is 01:47:21 Do you have any adder? I had humble and kind, which is initially by Lori McKenna, but Tim McGraw did a cut of it. It's about a mother's prayer to her children. Okay. She wishes they'll be humble and kind and Just kind of a list of what she wants out of her kids lives. I think it's great. I like that. Great song. That's good. Oh, you know, there's another kind of I just'm just thinking about this now, Martina McBride. I never liked this song. Independence Day. Independence Day.

Starting point is 01:47:50 Uh, I remember it's, uh, you know, her mom is in an abusive relationship, uh, with her dad, I'm assuming. And, uh, and so she sends her daughter off to the parade for Independence Day. And then she burns the house down, uh, take him here, getting rid of both her and her husband, setting her daughter free from this abuse.

Starting point is 01:48:11 Uh, I always listen to that. I've never been in that situation, but my thought always listening to the song was, why don't you just take your daughter and drive across the country and let your daughter hang out with a maintenance man at an apartment complex and learn karate. You know what I mean? It's like, yeah, instead of making your daughter an orphan. Right. That's beautiful. But it's a very popular song and you know,

Starting point is 01:48:43 I'm sure people relate to it in a way I don't. It's a good list. Yes. It's a very popular song and I'm sure people relate to it in a way I don't. It's a good list. Yes. It's a good list. It was a good list. Thank you. I have three people that I reach out to. My friend Tim Dugger is a country singer.

Starting point is 01:48:53 My friend Jesse Daniel is a country singer. They're very good if you've not listened to their stuff. But Tim is, and then Travis Wolf, who is I believe still your agent, used to be mine. But they're all three very country music knowledgeable. So when I'm having trouble with a list, I reach out to them and they're ready with some stuff.

Starting point is 01:49:14 Most of this I was able to put together, but they did throw a few. Travis threw in a couple, especially that I had not thought of. So when we do a episode on Labor Day, you should reach out to Jesse be like, Hey, do you know any good songs about men working? Oh, yeah. I'll call Greg Warren. He's the expert. Yeah, that's awesome. All right. Thank you, Dusty. Yeah, thank you.

Starting point is 01:49:36 I talked about moms. Yeah, that felt good. Happy Mother's Day. Shout out to my mom and my wife, both of whom are unbelievable mothers. I don't know how they do it. Think about it a lot about my mom and raising four kids and having dinner cooked every night and all the stuff that we just kind of took for granted. And then I'm seeing my wife become that person now.

Starting point is 01:49:58 It's all, it's pretty great. Shout out to all the moms. Well, I can't let you do that and then not do it myself. I figured that would open the floor. But I agree. I mean, my dad was always around, but my parents were divorced and my mom worked third shift at a plant that made VHS tapes so that I could, you know, grow up and not be, I don't know, not have a bad life. As much as I talk about my life and as many ways as my life really could have gone, it all worked out and I'm very thankful. And my wife is a really great mom.

Starting point is 01:50:34 Um, she, um, my wife was an actress and a comedian, and I don't think that she thought that she had mom instincts, but she, uh, really gets into it and she's a really great mom. So. That's great. I feel that motherhood is less about instincts and more about choices and character. You know, does that make any sense? I don't even know if I thought about what I just said.

Starting point is 01:50:58 Yeah, I mean, I, yeah, I just, I just used the word, but yeah, I mean, it's like, you know, I think she, uh, just, you know, cause when we got together, we, we agreed to not have kids. Yeah. We, we said we're not going to have kids. Yeah. And they had to, and now we have to, we'd like to have more on it.

Starting point is 01:51:15 So, but, uh, you know, we're older. So I don't know if we will, but well, I guess now I have to give a shout out to my mom, wife, too, even though I don't believe it, but I gotta say it. Now, my mom's awesome, awesome mom. Obviously, I was a rebel in school, you know, wild guy. Shitted a reel in. Yeah. You were the Johnny Paycheck of Lebanon.

Starting point is 01:51:36 Exactly. Lebanon. And my wife's great and great mom and I feel the same way. So I'll say it the biblical way, Lebanon. That is what it's named after. Yeah. And I think we're coming to Daisy's birthday party on Saturday. All right. So, we'll see your mom there, right? Well, we'll see. No, I bet she is going to be there. She was there last year. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:52:03 All right. So, we talk about this weekend. Let's do it. Um, let's see. Friday night. I am in, uh, Madisonville, Kentucky at the Ballard Convention Center. Got my, my friends. What's going on here? Nothing. It's a happy place.

Paul and John are always talking about saving otters. So this is a good for them. Well, who knows? To save the like, you may have to get rid of the otters,
