What's up everybody this is Nate Bargetze the Nateland podcast I'm here also because I was
told to introduce you all that's what you know someone said make sure we keep introducing
everybody because no one knows who you guys are that's what they said that's what they specifically pointed you out Aaron no I'm Nate this is Aaron Weber
Brian Bates so welcome to the show the show's been doing good so far it's been
fun I think we've got good yep good responses people been so far people
been nice I don't think anybody's been mean.
That's all you're going for at this point, just not to be mean.
I don't know.
But it's been wonderful.
Last week, we did an episode on the money episode.
I wanted to start it off because I know a lot of people, when they watch it,
I'd imagine the most frustrating thing with the podcast is you're is not being able to
like say something like it's like us just talking yeah and then you're like well they don't know
what they're talking about yeah and then you got to just sit quiet you know that's gotta be tough
but I mean just you should start your own podcast that's what that person should just
do a podcast it would be just a rebuttal podcast to every podcast they put that would be a pretty good idea for a podcast yeah it's not bad
yeah just be like you just that guy and this is we're going to start it uh if it's just me
i make sure the rebuttals are what i want them to be uh it's like a dictatorship like i'll just run
i run all the media uh but they someone should they do a podcast
every say they listen to everybody's like here's my thoughts on all their you know it's like
commenting on podcast i mean i would take up that guy's whole life probably right yeah but podcast
but if he gets does good it'd be his job yeah you know all right uh well Well, so we did pull some comments from Nateland.
Make sure you go to Nateland, all the social media, Nateland Podcast,
if you want to get a hold of us.
That's the best place to get it.
I know a lot of people do my social media.
I don't have social on my phone anymore.
I still see some of it.
But Nateland Podcast, Bates is running,
and, I mean, he's got the time.
He'll respond back probably quicker than you want it to be.
I mean, response where they go, whoa, take it easy, man.
This guy is all this kid.
They hit sand in their head.
Ding.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
I've been waiting for this response.
Who have you ever – didn't we talk about
responding to someone I have very
my very funny
about being like overly excited
about something I got
one time I got
interviewed by TMZ
landed at LAX and it was
I mean clearly nobody's
there so and I had the guy
I was getting picked up and so the
car service had my name so, and the guy, I was getting picked up, and so the car service had my name.
And so I think the guy just, like, obviously, at first I'm like, wow, how did he know I was fun?
And it's like, there's a guy with my name?
Like, you know, the guy's just at the airport.
Yeah.
And he's just looking at names.
And then, so he Googled me and then asked, he just walked me to the car and was asking.
He was like, hey, this team's, dude, I was so shocked by it.
Like, I was, it was not even.
Were you into it?
Did it feel good?
Yeah, yeah.
But I mean, I was never even a million years thinking, like, this is going to happen.
Like, I, you know, I'm not worried about, like, you know, I mean, like, you know, if
you're Kim Kardashian, like, or someone big, you're expecting it.
And I've seen it.
I've been with guys that are big.
They were like,
I've seen them come up.
And then,
uh,
I was with David Spade once and he got,
he got kind of pounded outside this restaurant.
And then I had one guy that kind of knew me out of with that David.
So,
and it was his first day.
That's what he told me.
It was his first day at TMZ.
And I'm like,
well,
you need to,
you don't need to be talking to me, man.
If you want to make it in this business, David Spade is right there.
You should go.
What are you doing?
I'm just giving him advice on how to.
Well, he's practicing on you.
Yeah, just gave it out.
Well, you're day one at TMZ.
You can't show up with Dave Vargetze clips.
It's like, this is the guy we hired?
Yeah.
Who is this?
But the guy at LAX, so he walked with me and was just asking. Dave Vargetze clips. It's like, yeah, you need to come out. We hired. This is the, yeah. Who is this? Uh,
but the guy at LAX,
so he walked with me and was just asking,
he walked me to the car.
I'm going to talk the whole time.
And I honestly think about that when he,
I,
he left me at the end of it.
He was like,
all right,
man.
I was like,
you sure we got everything.
You want to do a couple more?
Like,
uh,
you want to ride with me?
Where are you going,
dude?
You need a ride somewhere.
Like I've just, he's like, nah, I think are you going, dude? You need a ride somewhere?
He's like, no, I think I'm fine, dude.
I think we got it.
I think we got it.
And then just left.
And I was overly excited that it was happening.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Yeah, I've certainly had email exchanges where they end it with me.
The last comment's me.
You can tell they're just done.
Yeah.
And they don't reply.
We've had at least one person reach out, and I know more about them than they do just done. Yeah. And they don't reply. We've had at least one person reach out,
and I know more about them than they do about me.
Yeah.
Who was, yeah.
It was just like, he's like, hey, you probably don't remember me.
I met you in Huntsville.
And I was like, it was actually Birmingham.
Yeah, yeah.
Brian corrected him.
Yeah.
He was like, oh, yeah, you're right.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I completely forgot.
Who is this again?
And then you're just like, John, it's Brian.
Come on, man. I've been keeping up with you. How's the kids? And he's like just like, John, it's Brian. Come on, man.
Like, I've been keeping up with you.
How's the kids?
Lincoln's like, all right, this is too much.
How's Ethan's birthday?
Yeah.
So you're like Michael Scott that just knows all the sales calls.
Michael Scott always knows everyone's time. Flashcards.
Yeah.
Did your son make varsity this year?
Yeah.
So that's what we're saying is very engaged on social media
if you reach out to the Nate Land podcast.
So we were looking at some of the comments.
So we're going to go through because people commented on the last week's episode.
One of them, apparently Aaron is unbelievable at the piano.
You were downplaying it.
That's what someone commented.
It said, I know it's fun to clown on
weber i don't know i mean i don't remember clowning like well we're making fun of him
we're having a good time yeah uh i was like that guy's like look i get it dude i love it
you love it we all love clowning on weber totally understandable but uh and that's aaron weber got
to reintroduce him just so everybody knows. But he's actually being really modest here.
I spent a few years as a professional musician making an income off of that craft.
And I've seen Aaron play piano.
Boy can play out of them keys.
He said, I'm serious.
So you can play the piano really good?
I can play okay.
I'm curious who that is and where they've seen me play piano. Oh, I can play okay I'm curious who that is
And where they've seen me play piano
Oh come on Aaron, you know who that is
You posted that, I bet
I saw the comment
Oh you didn't know the guy
I clicked on it, I tried to figure out who it is
I don't know where he saw me play piano
Now you're not acknowledging him
So I'm sure we're going to get another comment
You know what, turns out it wasn't Aaron.
Well, Aaron, we got a piano and Krispy Kreme donuts coming in right now.
Everybody welcome to the...
We do have a piano downstairs.
My daughter's taking piano lessons.
Do you really?
Yeah.
I'll play it later.
I haven't played a piano in a long time.
All right.
I'd love to play it.
We're going to show a little Instagram stories.
There you go.
So check that out.
You can see Aaron playing the piano.
See, this guy is right.
Okay.
You better come out the gate.
That's a really nice comment.
Thank you, whoever wrote that.
Yeah.
Guy commenting on nothing but you being funny.
That's true.
Your actual profession now.
He's a comedian.
Not great, but a musician.
Piano really dropped the ball.
Another one,
someone commented
they used to live around the corner from
Brad Pitt.
I'd see him in the grocery store, out walking
alone, always said hey,
or stopped to chat about whatever.
A totally regular guy. There's a big
difference between celebrities and people who act
for a living.
So we talked about Brad Pitt as he mows his own grass.
Yep.
And I,
that's pretty cool.
I liked,
I liked to hear that.
Brad Pitt comes up,
you know,
you can tell when a celebrity
you feel like,
they're like,
oh,
I bet he's like a regular dude.
Yeah.
I'm not,
and even the,
we're joking about him.
Of course he doesn't mow his own grass.
He can't do anything.
But you can tell when,
you know,
like,
because sometimes when people become celebrities,
I think they can become like monsters.
Like they're just, they're delusional.
They're just, I don't know, they have that personality.
And I mean, not that we don't know Brad Pitt at all, but like just when you see interviews
and you see him talk, you're like, oh, I bet he's a, you know, when I could tell he was
a cool dude, do you ever see the Jackass thing? Where he went on Jackass.
I don't remember that.
When they were on MTV.
Yeah.
So this is the...
I mean, they're new, I think.
Like, they're just on MTV.
I mean, they're kind of...
People know they are, but it's not like...
No movies yet?
Just the show?
I don't think any movies yet.
Yeah.
And so he's at Pink's Hot Dog, and he agreed to do this.
So he goes to Pink's Hot Dog. He's standing in line.
You see people looking at him like,
that's crazy.
It's Brad Pitt just getting a hot dog.
Then the Jackass crew pulls up in a van and kidnaps him.
I do remember that.
They go,
see if you look it up on YouTube.
It's Outdoor Hot Dog Stand.
Outdoor Hot Dog Stand.
I mean, truly,
it's the greatest acting in the world like um
it's it's i mean it's um for someone uh right there brad right that that third one
brad pitt kidnap 29 seconds I mean, yeah.
I mean, look how much he's like, look at that.
That's like real deal.
I would think that was real 100%.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, can you
imagine? Like, I mean,
for that moment, those people were like,
we're a part of history.
Our most famous celebrity just got kidnapped.
Wow. For him to agree to do
that, and then that, I mean, just the commitment
to do it. I'm a big fan of commitment.
If you see someone committing, like, where I really am really am like something like that acting because it's very easy
to be like dude i'm not gonna i'll kind of pretend like you grabbed me like for him to be grabbing
the top of the van scream help like screaming like that i mean he's the best dude it's curious uh
like interesting to see what people did like bystanders did when that happened well
they called the cops and that they called the cops but like nobody i mean it was a group of
people kidnapping them but nobody really jumped in to stop one guy kind of did i you know that's
like when you see uh anything and everybody's all like they're like why didn't you go in to help and
you're like dude any crazy moment someone's in're not, you can't imagine you're seeing the moment.
You know what I mean?
You're not, so when you're seeing that happen, like, there's no, that's like anything, dude.
You're still processing it.
Yeah, like, when anybody says, well, why did, if I was there, I would, you're like, dude, you probably wouldn't have.
You have no idea, like, what would, you're just, you can't wrap your head around what's happening.
But you can't wrap your head around what's happening.
How many times do anybody see something like a kidnapping or a murder, any of that stuff?
Most people, it's almost like you have lottery odds of actually witnessing that kind of act.
And so you don't think that could ever happen. So you have no, like, you're just going to sit there and just,
that one guy kind of tried to go and help, but like.
Let alone it being Brad Pitt, you know?
Like you were saying, they're probably just still processing the fact
that there's huge celebrities right there.
You don't even know what's happening.
And now he's getting kidnapped.
Yeah.
And that guy just, Brad Pitt just got kidnapped.
And like, yeah, what are you going to say?
It's like, what?
I mean, Brad Pitt.
I mean, even if someone told you that.
Yeah.
To go, what?
Imagine being the 911 operator.
Who?
Oh, Brad Pitt got kidnapped?
Did he?
Oh, that's great.
Yeah, wow.
Heard this one before.
Next thing you tell me, he was mowing his grass.
Did you ever hear the 911 call when the guy that O.J. Simpson robbed called?
No.
In Vegas?
Yeah.
He called, he was like, O.J. Simpson just robbed me.
And they were like, yeah, okay, dude.
Yeah.
O.J. Simpson?
I mean, you'd think they would be like, okay, maybe.
All right.
Yeah, I could see that.
I'm listening.
Like Brad Pitt is like, O.J. robbed me there's no come on you can tell
me oj's gonna do something like that is that what you're trying to tell me oj all the stuff i've
seen him do you'll tell me that he's gonna rob you like you're like well it's kind of k i mean
it's possible yeah uh two more little quick comments the The other one is, why do rental companies charge so much for gas?
This guy used to work at Hertz.
Rental places charge so much for gas because you're paying for the labor of them sending someone to fill it up at the car at the gas station so it's full for the next customer.
And I get that.
But do they, you're paying, I guess you're paying for that labor.
I just wish you could give them – it should be like you have to give the guy $20.
That's what I think would be better than charging.
Like it's normal gas prices, but if you do it, there's a $20 fee that goes straight to the kid that has to go fill it up.
Is that more than the difference of what you're paying, $20?
Maybe.
It's like $6. It's probably like $6 a gallon to fill it up. So whatever more than the difference of what you're paying? $20? Maybe. It's like $6.
It's probably like $6 a gallon to fill it up.
So whatever that would be.
Really?
Is it that high?
For if you wait.
Yeah.
I mean, you know.
So it's like you can do.
That's what it's saying.
Avis does the thing now.
You can just pre.
You got to just send it to them empty.
But if you click it before and say, like, I want them to fill it up,
you don't have to pay that fee. But you're, like, already agreeing to, like, do that.
Okay.
But, you know, I'd rather just give the guy $20.
Yeah.
I bet you could do that.
I bet you could be like, hey, I didn't fill it up, but here's a $20.
Just under the table to the guy?
Under the table, $20.
Yeah.
I'm willing.
I bet anything you can do that.
Mm-hmm.
And they'd be like, all right, thanks.
And they would just go fill it up.
I mean, there's no way for them.
They're going to a regular gas station.
It's not like they're going to a special.
For some reason, I thought they had their own gas.
I'm so dumb.
I didn't even think about them going to an actual gas station.
I could have seen that.
At the airport, they even have a thing that fills up gas.
Yeah, that's what i thought it was
yeah i could see that but i bet you could go just give the guy 20 bucks yeah i think someone should
try it everybody i feel like that's the case with most things most places like that you just give
people money they can do pretty much whatever you ask them to do a 20 goes a long way yeah
yeah if you can if you can get away with the 20 you can do you can get a lot
of a lot of extra out of it last one why do some gas stations charge more for gas most gas stations
that are absurdly expensive don't hold as much gas as other stations so they run out faster but
charge more to overcompensate i mean i don't why can you not just have more gas i guess they don't have enough pumps
is it the pumps that's the issue or is it the holding the holding tank probably yeah
i mean that's a business decision that i don't know how smart yeah that's on them i don't know
why they're putting it on the customer oh my buddy texted me the the uh the the gas thing that he did
the one that i was talking about that's in uh california that's in
like beverly hills that's so crazy yeah but i don't know yeah like that it doesn't seem like
a good business you know i don't know how i found this but it doesn't seem like a good business
thing why would you do that you know uh it doesn't matter did you purposely skip the first two i was
gonna say where at the top there i don't know if I can see. Oh.
No, I didn't see them because the
other ones were black.
So, yes. Why is Nate's
hand so orange? Iodine?
There's two comments, yeah.
And does Nate wear hand
makeup? I do not.
So, I don't know.
I actually saw that orange
comment and then I asked my wife
see that's the deal you guys say comments and then you spin us in us I
mean we just go down this spiral of like I think I have just cancer like I think
it's over and as we've talked about they haven't solved cancer so we're in big
trouble but I did like saying like I don't have enough iron in my blood or something is that what
that means i thought they meant you've been taking some iodine supplements yeah that'll make your
skin orange oh i have been golfing a ton and in the sun an absurd amount of time so that's why
i would say you don't wear gloves i don't wear gloves? I don't wear gloves. You know, my Comedy Central presents.
So a big thing to do when I was out of high school,
and I did it until probably I was like 28,
is you'd wear rubber bands around your wrist.
And it was like Kevin Garnett did it, like Charles Barrett. All these NBA players did it.
And so it was a huge thing to do.
So I wore them until, I mean, honestly, like 28 years old.
I remember being 27 going, I just don't see why I would ever take these rubber bands off.
I was that committed to it.
I mean, you would get caught like my wife's hair.
My wife, I mean, she's dating like a child.
We were married.
She's married to a child.
I used to also wear, under Under every pair of Pants or shorts
I wore shorts
And boxers
So if I had jeans on
I would have shorts
Boxers
I mean boxers
Shorts
And then my jeans
If I had shorts on
I would have boxers
And then two pairs of shorts
Why?
I did that
I don't know
It just was like
We did it in high school
It was a big thing
Wow
To wear
I have no idea I can't imagine Having that much room like we did it in high school. It was a big thing to wear. I have no idea.
I can't imagine having that much room.
I have all the room in the world.
If a basketball game broke out, you'd be ready.
I've had a situation where we were playing basketball,
and a guy would go, I don't have shorts.
And I go, and I swear to you, I gave him my outer shorts.
I go, lucky for you, my friend, I have an extra pair on me, and literally on me. And then I gave him my outer shorts. I go, lucky for you, my friend.
I have an extra pair on me.
And literally on me.
And then I gave him those pairs.
That's hilarious.
Yeah, it was, I mean, I don't know the reasoning behind why.
You know, it was cool to do.
The rubber band, like all that stuff was.
Did you buy rubber bands or did you just happen upon them? I would buy, I would go to Staples and buy a bag of them.
I'm going to try a thicker rubber band this time.
And I would just switch them in and out.
I mean, it was just like if someone wore a bracelet or something.
And we would do that.
So anyway, I wore them on my Comedy Central Presents.
And a lot of people were asking me,
they're like, is he wearing latex gloves?
Because they would just see the rubber bands
and it looked like it was the top
of the book.
So people watched that Comedy Central
Presents and just been like,
this comic wears latex gloves
when he performs.
I was ahead of the COVID times.
I knew it was coming.
That I did it.
I don't know if they're orange.
Do they look orange?
I don't know. Maybe lighting the table can make it look more I'm also
extremely tan say you just got a tan you've been out playing go I got a solid
solid tan and then I got a great golfers I mean it's like my feet are just looks
like I have socks on so yeah so that's it so yeah alright those are the questions
so
yeah
when you watch an episode
you feel like you want to get something out
on your chest
you know
just hit us up
and
we'll go through it
well
another comment that we got
it was
why does the guy
running the computer
look like Stuart
from the Big Bang Theory
which
I guess they're talking about me.
And I've heard this.
There's like three guys that I've been in most office often compared to.
One of them, well, Stewart from Big Bang,
which I didn't even know who he was.
I didn't watch Big Bang, but that's him.
I could see.
I could see. I can kind of see it
and I would understand
if Stewart got upset
about the comment
I would be on Stewart's
that's one where the Stewart
would be like alright man
you're crazy
that's what he would say
and he would be offended
he's got more hair well I don be offended. He's got more hair.
Well, I don't know if he's got more hair, but he's doing it better than Brian.
And then he's, I mean, you know.
He's got a more casual look to him with the wardrobe.
That's a set from Big Bang Theory.
Mine's a glamour shot.
That's fair yeah if you're listening to this i'll post this on uh social so you can see a major character in that show or is he i don't i didn't watch big
bang i never watched it my parents watch it i didn't it's the biggest show there's there's some
there is some great uh there's some stuff there's some episodes that are unbelievable they did some
what was that when they broke down like star wars or something there's raiders of the lost ark raiders of the
lost ark they like broke it down it like changed it was like a huge thing that they they because
they explained it in some you know nerdy way or whatever and people like went crazy about it and
but it's a huge show i mean shows sitcom multi-sitcoms, still alive and doing great.
I mean, it was an enormous show.
And this is a time where shows are rarely going to get that big anymore.
Yeah, but I mean, it was still in time.
It was like 13 seasons, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was crazy.
But to be that big of a show nowadays.
Have you gotten that before, Brian?
Yeah, I was going to say, if you hear just one random comment from someone,
you think they're just dumb or crazy. I've heard this a few times. All these I've heard a few times, so? Yeah, I was going to say, if you hear just one random comment from someone, you think they're just dumb.
I've heard this a few times.
All these I've heard a few times, so I guess I can't argue with it.
The other one I heard, someone posted this yesterday too,
Jamie from the Progressive commercials.
I get this one too, but I think that Jamie guy, just from the looks,
I think he's jacked.
That's why. you think so I
honestly do I would you see those commercials like if he wears like short
sleeves I'm pretty sure he's like pretty jacked and I mean yeah if these these
two guys I think it would be more if they said is he your dad like that's
what they would feel if they if go. If Jamie's my dad?
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If Jamie's your dad.
Him and Stewart, I mean, straight up, they should be like,
they would be less offended if he goes, hey, I think I met your dad once.
And then they would be like, ah, yeah, I get that.
And they would feel good about it.
Instead of going, you know who you look like?
I think he's Jack, though.
So that's a compliment, Brian.
Well, the comments, some could call it bullying, but he's calling him his dad.
So the ultimate bully is in the room right now.
It's worse than anybody online.
But the one I get by far the most is this guy, Mike White, actor and director. That one this guy, Mike White. Yeah.
Actor and director.
That one's crazy.
Mike White.
Yeah.
Brian, that one I think you could be offended by.
So if you don't know this guy, he's most known, I think, for Jack Black's Roommate in the
School of Rock.
Yeah, that's how I know him.
But I've had so many people.
I've had someone tell me at a class reunion that we saw you in a movie,
and we couldn't believe it.
And I've been on radio shows.
I was on Rick and Bubba once.
They did not tell me ahead of time.
They knew it wasn't, but we come back from a break, and they're like,
all right, excited to have Jack Black's roommate from the School of Rock.
Are you serious?
They knew I wasn't him, but they –
Oh, okay.
I'm just saying, people say this a lot.
So then the ultimate, a friend of a friend of mine moved to LA, and I'd only met this
guy a couple of times, this comic friend of mine, and he saw this guy, Mike White, in
a restaurant and thought it was me, and went up to him and said, hey, man, so you living
out here now?
He was like, yeah. He's like, oh, cool, so you living out here now? He was like, yeah.
He's like, oh, cool, cool.
And then I think he finally realized.
He's like, you're Brian Bates, right?
Yeah.
And he's like, no.
And he was offended.
So this happens a lot.
That's so funny.
I mean, that's crazy.
It happened to that guy.
Yeah.
Like all the work he's done.
I know.
And then, I mean, you're Brian Bates. And he's done.
You're Brian Bates.
He's like, what?
It's crazy that it happened the other way around.
It happened to you.
It's crazy it's gotten to him.
That's when you can tell it's a close resemblance.
For sure.
When it gets to him.
Here's some of Aaron.
All right, so we've already talked about this,
some of the podcast people you look like.
John Candy.
Yeah.
Do you see it? I can see that.
Yeah, that's a weird picture of him, I feel like.
That's me on my best day, and that's him going through some stuff.
Yeah, I mean, that's like.
No, you did a good job picking two similar pictures.
It's just. He got pulled out of his house immediately
that's what that looks like
he was not planning on going outside
and then immediately forgot
I have a wedding to go to
throw on a suit
and that's me at my best
with stage lighting
just got a haircut
paid the guy to come take the picture there
brand new shirt
So if you're listening, you probably know what John Candy looks like
You probably don't know what Aaron looks like
So just imagine if John Candy was homeless for
A few months
That's what we're looking at here
That's a good one, yeah, I've gotten that one a lot
Alright, John Goodman?
Yeah
Yeah
The reason I think that compares Me and John Goodman is not that great.
I don't know what John Goodman looks like when he was my age,
just because I feel like every image of him in my head is when he's older.
I mean, he was a movie star at your age, I think.
Was he a movie star by age?
I mean, he was on Roseanne.
Not when he was my age. He was in his 30s, I bet. You think he was in Roseanne. Probably not when he was my age.
He was in his 30s, I bet.
You think he was in his 30s back then?
Well, gosh, that show was 30 years ago, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, but he was like a father of a family.
Well, you should be.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess.
All right, and then the other one that we haven't talked about before,
but you tell me, Luke Combs, if you don't know him, country singer Luke Combs.
Yeah. I mean, every fat guy with a beard in Nashville gets compared to Luke Combs,
who is a tremendously successful country singer.
Is he the most successful fat guy with a beard?
Right now?
Right now.
Yeah, I would say.
In the game.
I can't think of another.
If y'all had a conference, like he would be, who's speaking?
Like Luke Combs?
You're like, oh, wow.
He would be the keynote speaker at the Fat, Bearded, White Guy conference.
For sure.
I'd be happy to get an invite.
But yeah, I mean, I would never unbutton that many buttons on my shirt.
You're buttoned up there.
If I was successful as Tim, I'd probably do it.
That's the confidence he has.
He's representing so many guys that he's like, well, I've got to step it up.
And then he has confidence to unbutton those shirts.
I've got a jacket on.
I've got the other way around.
Yeah, he's getting – it's going to come back down for him.
Once you start doing that and he remains a big dude, I get it.
I can't wear unbuttoned things.
So him doing that and that look on – I know a lot of guys that do that.
They leave their button down to the – you see it more where you're like,
I shouldn't see this this much.
That's what I always think when I see guys unbuttoned.
I think I shouldn't – I should be like, oh, I don't know if I've seen someone.
That's my comment.
And it should be like, no, I actively see people – guys do that.
Yeah.
And it's like older guys.
You know, if they're 20, it's one thing.
You know, that's completely different.
Yeah, if you're like a Kennedy on a sailboat,
maybe you have one button on a shirt.
But if you're, you know.
I would button all the way up to the top if that wasn't considered lame.
I do sometimes.
Golf shirts, I feel like you can.
You're being crazy here. You got Brian's leg loose, man.
Nobody wants to see that.
Golf shirt, I feel like it's common to go all the way up to the top.
Yeah.
But just a button down, it looks weird.
Well, I do some shirts, but I'll go like this one.
Yeah, you button up, though.
I feel uncomfortable when it's like that.
You shouldn't.
And what was the other?
There was a story of someone at a wedding that mistakes you for someone?
Oh, yeah.
I did.
In college, my sister's wedding, this old woman, I don't know who she was.
She met me, and she goes, were you in a Hallmark commercial?
And I was like, no.
And then I saw her later that weekend.
She was like, are you sure you never did a Hallmark?
I said, I'd probably remember if I was in a major commercial.
And she goes, you look just like this guy from a Hallmark commercial.
You've got to look it up. And then I saw her again, and she told me about it. I was like, I might as well look exactly like this guy. Did you look commercial. You've got to look it up.
And then I saw her again, and she told me about it.
I was like, that must look exactly like this.
Did you look it up?
I looked it up.
The guy was enormous in the commercial.
It looked nothing like me.
And the upsetting part is I looked at the commercial again recently,
and the guy, he didn't look that big to me.
Do you have it?
No.
The commercial is called Brother of the Bride.
Did you find it on YouTube?
I did find it on YouTube, yeah.
And at the time that I looked it up, he looked much bigger.
But now we look a little more similar.
Brother of the Bride.
Yeah, it's like the movie Heavyweights.
I watched that movie Heavyweights recently, and I was like, those kids aren't that big.
Is this it?
Yeah, that's the one right there.
Yeah, this is the one she was talking
about all right i guess it was big at the time or it was a couple years old but yeah that guy
that guy yeah see now we look i mean we're about the same size now i might be bigger than him now
yeah he yeah i don't i mean that's yeah that's uh i could see that
I don't know
Did you have a beard at the time?
I didn't have a beard and I had a tux on
The whole weekend
I think that might be you
You sure you didn't do a home run commercial?
I didn't know
I could definitely see that
We don't have to watch a home run
The Nate Land podcast is just about I could definitely see that. All right. Anyway. Yeah, we don't have to watch that.
That's the Nate Land podcast.
It's just about everything's a little too long.
That's the kind of guy.
I would say it's a good – every comment's a little – rolls out a little farther than it should.
All right.
So do you have anyone that people have told you that you look like i had
the only ones i remember is like chandler i think friends from friends i would get that like early
on like uh you know like before i had a beard or anything like back my early when you've ever seen
my videos i post on instagram the ones that are always old like i would get it back then and then
i don't i don't remember what else.
Alright, so we asked people to share a few. So this
guy's from Reno 911.
Thomas...
I forgot his last name. You know what? I think I have heard him.
Yeah. A few people
said that.
What's the guy's name?
Thomas Lennon. Thomas Lennon.
That's right. Yeah. Very funny guy.
Reno 911, extremely underrated show.
If you haven't ever watched Reno 911, it's amazing, man.
It's so funny.
And still very funny.
Still holds up.
So, you know, go watch Reno.
From Sopranos.
Oh, the son from the Sopranos?
Yeah.
I get Aaron Paul sometimes.
I remember when I did a Tonight Show, I'd get Aaron Paul.
There was one Aaron Paul, I think, submission.
But a few for the...
Why am I forgetting his name on The Sopranos?
But you guys know it.
Yeah.
Nick Novicki, my buddy Nick, little person, was on...
I was in Sopranos with him.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah, when he auditioned for it, Nick was staying at my house. And my wife auditioned with him. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah, when he auditioned for it,
Nick was staying at my house,
and my wife auditioned with him.
Like, she'd read the lines with him.
Oh, that's cool.
And then, because he was on that,
he was on the other.
AJ Soprano was his name on there.
Yeah.
Someone sent this, Stanley Kubrick.
I mean, that one, definitely.
You've done a good job picking the pictures out.
I was going to say, yeah.
The viewer actually, or listener actually, picked this one out.
Yeah.
They did very good.
Yeah, yeah.
He did that one.
That was good.
Yeah, the stand-ups, I felt very bloated.
This is my favorite one.
Someone sent me, this is a guy from 1862.
And I think that could be your great, great, great, great grandfather.
Look at that guy.
Who is that?
Do you know who that guy is?
Yes, yes, yes.
And again, if you're listening, we're going to post all this stuff.
Yeah.
Andrew Myrick.
He was a trader who, with his Dakota wife, operated stores in South Lake.
A good trader, though.
T-R-A-D-E-R.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everybody can clarify that.
Someone who trades.
Yeah.
So he did not have a good ending.
He was, he, during, it's not on here, but I read about this.
The Dakota Indians asked him for some food and he was like, just go eat grass.
He was not very helpful to them.
And then the Dakota Wars broke out and he died on the day, and they found him with grass stuffed in his mouth
and in some other areas of his body.
So they remembered that.
So he started the war?
I don't know if he started it, but they remembered him.
When it broke out, they were like, let's find that guy.
Let's find the guy that told us to eat grass.
I mean, you probably started it if they're going to do that.
They sought him out, that's for sure.
But he said to eat grass sarcastically, not as a legitimate...
I mean, could that be your great, great, great grandson?
That honestly could.
That could be some kind of tie, you know.
And he had two thumbs.
Yeah.
If he's 0% Italian, it might be my guy.
Yeah, that's pretty wild.
Yeah.
I mean, that's uncanny.
That's crazy.
That looks like if I posted that picture and said I'm doing a movie.
Yeah.
And sent you that, you'd be like, wow, dude, that looks great.
Just shave the mustache, get the goatee, get the swoosh.
That's crazy.
Get the swoosh, and the next picture you don't have the swoosh.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Yeah.
All right, so I'll post that.
I'll share all that
so uh so then i was reading about doppelgangers do we all have a doppelganger and uh i don't know
if you guys have read about this or not the article said that there's a one in 135 chance
that we have a doppelganger which to me me, that seems pretty low. Yeah. But then they did
a study and said for all eight
major facial features,
it's one in
a trillion.
To be a perfect
match. A perfect match. A perfect doppelganger.
You and Mike White,
y'all have to be...
That's probably seven out of eight.
I was going to say six, but alright.
I mean, that's pretty... Y'all have to be... That's probably seven out of eight. Yeah. I was going to say six, but all right. I mean, that's pretty close.
Yeah.
All right.
So, yeah, one out of 135 is what they said.
Do the order up there, whatever...
Of the show?
Yeah.
All right.
And then...
So, one out of 135, how many of those eight characteristics?
So, like a near-perfect doppelganger, there's a one in 135 chance.
Yeah, I don't know how many of those facial features
has to be for that, but...
I mean, I would say like if you have...
I mean, that guy that you just showed.
Yeah.
Like that has to be...
You're talking about the old guy?
Yeah, my guy, my Silver War guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah the guy that started the
u.s dakota war yeah hey the guy's making differences whether it's good or bad
his name's in the paper and that's what it's about uh so this was a 2015 study by researchers
in australia one in a hundred study stuff man you know that's what i had a researchers of all state like how are you ever
even kind of getting some data on this or just just yeah on this in general how stuff even i
don't know how it works how do you even get started i don't know how you pick like you pick this as
your specialty i'm gonna look into doppelgangers yeah i wonder how many they're in like how could you ever in a million years they studied 4 000 different faces from a database and just
analyzed all the similarities they said they didn't disclose what those eight facial features
are i'm curious what they look at you know maybe what would What would it be? Like, eyebrows.
Eyebrows.
Yeah,
the cheek,
like the bone structure of the face.
I'm sure you can guess
close enough.
It's probably close enough.
I mean,
I think we get four.
Eyes,
nose,
mouth,
ears,
plus the other four.
The rest is like,
that seems weird
that they didn't,
like,
why would they not disclose it?
That's why I think
there's like a secret one
they're looking at.
Yeah.
Like,
that just makes it obvious.
It's like the thing that like,
you know, like, there was like a cop can tell if you're drunk or not.
There's like your eyes, if there's any hesitation.
Oh, really? Like when they do the thing, if you have a, if it's not, if there's a pause, then that's how they can tell.
Oh, interesting.
I think, and like, so it's like that.
Like that's, I mean, like it's, it's so... Like, that's like a thing that you would never...
Like, I didn't know that.
So you're thinking, what are they doing?
How do they know?
Yeah.
And you're like, whoa, if there's something that obvious.
And they're not actually looking for what you think they're looking for.
Yes.
Yeah.
Like, you're trying to be still and stare at the person and all this.
And all he needs to see is, like like a little hesitation when you follow the pin.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm thinking about what my eyes look like,
but really they're looking for that little thing under the nose.
You know, I don't know.
Yeah.
So that, yeah, that's studied.
I didn't say what the eight facial features was.
Speaking of studies, so we all watched three identical strangers documentary.
Yeah.
So this episode is like, we kind of thought about that.
We're like, cause we were talking about we you get brought up who you look like especially when we started
this and people started saying what we look like in doppelgangers and then got us thinking about
like being twins and you know like who do we have all these people that look alike so it is we
watched uh i watched it last night three identical, which we should post to tell people to watch it if they want to watch it.
It's on Hulu.
Okay.
I watched it on Amazon Prime.
Yeah, me too.
I watched it on Hulu last night, and it kept stopping.
For some reason, my Hulu, every 30 minutes, it would just go black,
and then I'd have to wait.
Amazon Prime was fine.
Yeah, I almost didn't make it through it.
But I actually kept doing it
They weren't ads? I mean they have ads
I know maybe that's why
Was it? No I don't know
They would just go black screen
And then if I left it on it would cut back on
So if you haven't seen it
It's
It's a
It's a nature versus nurture
Basically documentary
It's these nature versus nurture, basically, documentary.
It's these first two brothers meet, realize they're twins.
Guy goes to college at the beginning.
Everyone thinks he's someone else.
It's crazy, yeah.
And then they're all yelling his name. And then one of them who knows the guy, like, oh, my gosh, calls that other guy.
They go and meet.
So for a while.
That night.
Yeah.
So for a while. I don. Yeah. So for a while.
I don't think he went back to college.
Maybe not.
Like, it seemed like.
They never talked about it, did they?
Yeah, no, because he enrolled in this college,
and then everybody's like, Eddie.
They keep calling him by his name.
He's like, girls are kissing him, and he's like just a guy.
His name's Bobby, and he's like, I don't know what's going on.
And then the guy says, no, you look like this.
And they just, it's according to like,
maybe it's just for the storytelling of it,
but it seemed, but I mean, I'd imagine
if you're that convinced, you are going to be like,
we got to go figure this out now.
If everyone's saying it.
Everybody's saying it.
And they drove to Eddie's house.
Got pulled over on the way there
because they were speeding.
The guy's like, I'm going to go meet my twin brother.
They meet. So then a newspaper does a story about how they were speeding. The guy's like, I'm going to go meet my twin brother. They meet.
So then a newspaper does a story about how they finally met.
And then a third twin brother, a triplet, excuse me.
If you're older, it seems like it was a story.
I mean, this was the 80s.
I don't remember.
But if you're older, someone, this is how we found out about the story.
Brian just said i remember
once in the news i was watching donahue yeah donahue which was crushing it dude they have
that dude there's a thousand or 1500 people in that donahue when they interview them yeah
like donahue was the biggest show on earth like an arena that they did that interview yeah it was
like ignore i mean people are like asking
these questions. Like Donahue is...
I didn't even realize. I wasn't even putting it together
that it was Donahue because it was so... I thought it was
almost like a church or something.
And I was putting it together.
Then you realize, you're like, golly, dude, this was
a regular show.
They were on everything. What year did this take
place? Like the 80s. Mid-80s.
Do either of y'all remember? No.
I mean, I was born in 79.
Okay. I mean, I did watch Donahue
with my grandparents, but I don't
remember that. Yeah, okay.
I was curious how, you know...
I would say my parents
would remember it. Really? Yeah.
I mean, I'm not saying
if they remember the story, but they definitely would.
I mean, everybody remembered those stories, but these guys seem... I bet my parents would remember it. I mean, I was not saying if they remember the story, but they definitely would. I mean, everybody remembered those stories.
These guys seem, I bet my parents would remember it.
I mean, I was born in 79, so my parents were 22 or 23 when they had me.
So they would have, and it was just a mega, mega story.
And this is obviously when, you know, with no internet,
this is when stories were like, if you were on every,
like they said in the thing, they went viral.
To go viral in that time frame where people nothing was going viral but you're just like
every channel every station every newspaper back when people read newspapers and then one guy said
this is how much newspapers made then he said i want to go get a plane and fly to go meet because
when he first was a twin when he said these two twins found out about each other
he goes let's get a plane and let's go fly there that's how good the newspapers were doing
that they just had a private plane to go like just check on this story like that's crazy like you
know and now these papers have nothing they could maybe get a rental car maybe and they'd be like
i don't know you pay for the gas but we're economy yeah and then make sure you Maybe. And they'd be like, I don't know, you pay for the gas, but we're economy.
Yeah.
And then make sure you fill the gas.
They'd be furious if you filled it up at the rental car place.
I mean, that would be, you'd just probably be fine.
They're like, we can't afford $6 a gas.
So then they become big celebrities.
But then their parents, who are from obviously three different families, they're like, why did we not know?
And they go and meet with the adoption agency, and they're like, well, we split them up because adopting triplets would be so hard, and we thought it'd be easier to, which, I don't know.
That makes sense to me.
I think it was a good enough answer even for the
parents to be like okay i understand that like where the parents left like it's not the answer
they wanted but for them to say like yeah if you have triplets then it's not gonna like it's a not
every family can take that like they want one and then they're like well we have three and i mean
maybe you should be trying to find a home that would.
Yeah, I mean, one of the dads said I would have taken all three.
And they did leave trying to seek a lawsuit against this adoption agency.
But none of the law firms would take the case because people from their firm were trying to adopt from this place.
Yeah.
And then they find out later on that it was part of a study.
Some researcher was doing a study on separating twins at birth to see how they would act as they grow older, nature versus nurture.
So it was a big conspiracy.
And the three families that adopted these triplets were all varying income levels?
Lower class, middle class, upper class.
And had taken in adopted uh
kids like had three uh all of them had an adopted like girl in their in their each family
all those boys had older sisters and all of them were adopted so it was i mean it was a complete
study that they were like trying to do and like you, you know, it's, you know, the older lady in it that has all the pictures wearing the yellow, like very kind of, I think, is she evil?
Like.
The lady that did part of the research?
Yeah.
I was like, like her, you're going like, is she one of like the evil ones?
Yeah.
I mean.
She seemed like it, but it's like they're interviewing.
She just does not care no and like very nonchalant and like seems like they have had an amazing career
and she just talked about it like oh i don't care like you know she's like should they know should
they not know like supposedly these records you're not allowed to open them for 100 years basically
105 years i think was the and they basically wanted to make
sure all these whoever's in this 2066 so who which i was how old i'll uh what is it 2020
that's 46 more years oh i'll be super old i'll be 86 or 87 uh me and you will just be the only
ones left on this podcast. You know who.
I mean, y'all are probably both outlived me.
I'll be honest with you.
There's more than likely that shit.
Once you do the Krispy Kreme thing, once you start giving in,
you're like, I'll eat these donuts in front of everybody.
And you're like, he's gone.
So they talked to that lady and she was like, is it better for them to know that they have a twin?
Because it seems that they, you know, like, I mean, the kids knew.
They can tell.
It's very unbelievable that identical twins or triplets,
like they just have a, something's drawing them.
I mean, it's pretty crazy.
Like the idea of all of this
how they're drawing
they all were like banging their heads
against the wall when they were kids
all this kind of crazy stuff
because they got pulled apart
but when they talk to that old lady
she just blows it off
and just is like
we did it for this study
that's one guy that kind of figured all this out,
where he's like, well, if it's so important of a study,
then release the stuff.
Like, what did you learn from it?
If there was this, you know, the cat's out the bag.
We all know that this was a study.
Yeah.
But, I mean, they said there's probably four to six still twins
that don't know.
Are out there. That are probably still out there. From that same program. That don't know. Are out there.
That are probably still out there.
From that same program.
That don't know that they have a twin.
Wow.
The same idea.
Yeah, that's one of those.
It's like an interesting thing, an interesting experiment to run if you don't care about being evil.
If you don't care about human beings.
Let's separate these triplets at birth.
Let's just see what happens.
Yeah.
It's like we all kind of want to know, but you can't what happens. Yeah. You know, it's like,
we all kind of want to know,
but you can't do it.
Yeah.
Right?
What if you had a twin?
It makes you think of that.
Like, where, you know,
you're like,
you always hear the stories
of someone being adopted.
Like, they're like,
and I had no idea I was adopted.
And then you're always like,
was I adopted?
Like, you think your parents
are just going to come around the corner
and be like,
here's your other brother,
Worf.
There's a real Worf out there. Maybe that description was right.
Maybe that description was right. I'd have a whole
other family. That would be crazy.
I wonder if there's... What surprise families?
Does anybody know anybody that's had a surprise?
I guess they could have another family.
That would be
gut-riching to find out.
And that's got to be good.
I know that was a problem for kids getting swapped in hospitals.
Yeah.
Like newborns, you know?
That's why you marked their foot.
What did we do for Harper?
Well, now don't they give you like a house arrest ankle brace right now, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I could see because these babies are see that's
where people can do stuff like that where uh these scientists do this like they're looking at humans
they don't look at them as like real they look at them as like almost animals like the way they would
do this study on like monkeys or something and that's how i think those scientists look at people
like they look at them as like that's not a real person they have no they don't care that but doctors have to have some side of that they can't have emotion tied
into being a doctor even the people with babies like where they they see babies all born i'm just
they love these i'm sure a lot of them love these babies there has to be some disconnect or you can't
do what you do yeah you're not gonna be able to like do and so like these people go into this
science stuff i don't think they can i mean that woman did not care that she did this the main researcher's dead
right yeah i think he would probably still argue there's no way those kids were going to get
adopted all together so we were doing them a favor yeah i don't think they were ever even
attempting that i think he would take that angle now because he gets called out. But I don't think he would.
They were doing the study, and it was like, oh, yeah,
these kids are going to go three different places.
I mean, they gave them to three different homes.
Very easily someone could be like, I'm not going to take these kids.
But it seems like that place didn't have a problem with getting kids adopted.
It seems like it was a higher level of a place.
It's not like it was just regular foster homes
or that kind of stuff,
which my sister does very wonderfully.
She'll take in kids.
Oh, really?
Yep. That's awesome they uh so
they i mean they get calls you get called 10 p.m at night and be like we got these kids and you go
and then uh they had some just for the weekend and then the kids will go to like a
a more concrete home uh after that yeah it's very nice that she does that like because that's all
it's a lot i mean you see you know we we've met some of the kids and they come yeah, it's very nice that she does that. Because it's a lot. I mean, you see, you know, we've met some of the kids,
and they come in, and it's just sad.
I mean, they just have no consistency in their life.
Yeah.
You know, like they're just, I mean, they're raising each other.
It's unbelievable.
Like, I mean, some are 8-year-olds.
I mean, like my daughter's 8, and I can't imagine.
And there's kids that grow up where at 8,
they're the most adult in the house yeah which is nuts yeah it's unbelievable so anyway i mean the documentary
it was basically about nature versus nurture i don't know what the conclude what would you say
the conclusion was i would say the conclusion was that um you know for the sake of the story
they played up a lot of superficial similarities between these three guys.
They all prefer the same brand of cigarettes.
They have the same taste in women, that kind of stuff.
Very broad things, though.
Marlboro is the number one.
Exactly.
It's like saying they all like Coca-Cola the best.
Of course they do.
In the end, they kind of admitted that
they admitted yeah that they those were all superficial differences in that uh because
they grew up in such different environments they were they were more different than even
they wanted to admit yeah so i i think the conclusion was that nurture was ultimately
more important in the things that mattered. Right. You know?
Right.
Yeah.
It's a good study.
I'm glad they did it.
Honestly, worth it in the end because we all learned something.
The way you just broke it down,
I think we should do it again.
They,
it is true.
That is funny, though.
It is like,
truthfully, you get it.
But that's the thing,
is like, go get the,
at least don't make what they did pointless. show the results show like you know it's like make it like
a study we did this study here's the guys that did it here's all the the kids that were forced
into this that have no choice so here's the result that's the problem too that i think almost that's
what even ends up being we already have a problem you know like that lady said i like it in the 60s 61 there's no concept of like we're doing
this to kids no i mean that's another world than what you're living in and right now and but it's
at least show the result like that's why are they being like it's like that's the stuff that gets
weird to be like they're like oh they were they showed it but it's heavily redacted no one so it's like hard to piece
together like all the stuff that's the stuff that becomes the problem where you go like then just
make it like just show it dude what can possibly be on there that's worse than what we know yeah
i mean unless there is but like that's the part you're like, what would be worse?
Yeah.
It's like they have... Someone said they had a fourth one.
And then there was a quadruple.
You're like...
That's the only thing that could shock you at this point.
He was watching the doc.
He was watching the documentary and stuff.
Yeah.
That's me.
Dude, that's hilarious.
You know, it was...
He smokes Camel
And they're like
Well that can't be him
Like that
He likes redheads
Yeah
You're like
Well that's
Then get out of here man
Dude
Stop trying to latch on to this
They look just like him though
It's crazy
Those guys
Didn't age super well
Tell you that
No
I mean they were
They were young strapping
Good looking boys Yeah And that I mean when were they were young strapping good looking boys
yeah and that i mean when you see them i know because when they first get on the interview
you're like and they're like they could they there's like eddie was getting kissed by everybody
you're like and you're looking at him going what yeah you're like this dude was i mean just women
are just kissing him like as he made and then you see the pictures, you're like, oh yeah, these dudes are unbelievable.
They're just big guys, great hair, big, big smile.
All of them had gigantic smiles.
Yeah, yeah.
And then you're like, well, that makes sense.
But when they're interviewing them there, you're like, what?
It's funny how one of the guys is no longer alive,
but the other two now, they don't look that much alike anymore i mean
they still do but it's a little bit not a but no way it's like when they were younger did you uh
did you realize that they weren't interviewing the other brother i didn't think about it until
i didn't think about it until they tell you do you want to say the spoiler well i mean we've
it's already i mean i think we're say obviously if, if you listen to this spoiler afterwards,
I mean, yeah, I think it's been out for a few years now.
One of the three brothers committed suicide.
That's great, Aaron.
We weren't going to say it.
We can't just reference it without explaining it.
Something happens to the third brother.
My bad. I don't know what brother. Okay, yeah. My bad.
I don't know what.
It's a family-friendly podcast.
But I think that those,
so much of how you look
is not just genetics,
but your environment
and what happens to you over time, right?
Well, that's what,
so yeah, he committed suicide,
and then the third brother,
I didn't realize that they weren't showing him at first.
I think because you kind of keep seeing them, and you're like,
I remember right before they were, they do a really good job of, like,
I mean, telling the story of this,
but before they reveal that he did commit suicide,
you start right before you get to that point, you're like,
have I seen the other brother?
Like, you just can't really remember if you've seen him.
Yeah.
And so when they reveal that, I forgot what I was going to say.
I lost my train of thought.
Let's just wait for it.
George Costanza.
I mean, Frank, he was like.
What if he had just held out for more money?
That's the reason he wasn't on there?
They just couldn't afford him for the documentary.
He's like, no.
So all right, we'll say we killed him off.
Well, another thing is twins and triplets were much less common back then.
That's one of the things we were talking about beforehand.
It's way more common now for a number of reasons.
Yeah.
I don't know any triplets.
I know a lot of twins.
Do you guys know?
I have a lot of friends that are twins.
I don't know if I do.
I went to school with a few sets.
My mom had two twin sisters uh but they died i may may maybe four months old oh wait no no they're still
alive hold on i saw them at christmas my bad you know? They were in that perfect string. I got to throw it. Wait a second.
No, my mom had a...
A baby died that would have been her.
Maybe my dad had a twin and then died in birth.
I got to get to the bottom of that.
I was going to say, probably looked into it.
Did you know what the show was going to be about today?
It seemed like something maybe you looked into.
I know.
Well, I didn't think about it until right now when you said,
do you know twins?
My dad's a twin.
I think, yeah.
I don't remember.
Well, I have a bunch of...
That's not my Netflix documentary movie, that.
It's better than my dad's a principal.
I know a bunch of twins.
Now, the article says that twins are more prevalent in the world now.
One, because people are having children older.
Yeah.
And just, even if it's natural, you're more likely to have twins or triplets.
And then the other reason is because people are having older,
fertility treatments are a big reason why a lot of people.
Yeah, I know people that have twins.
I mean, a lot.
All right, now we're talking. Yeah. And I think it's that treatment that have twins. I mean, a lot. All right, now we're talking.
Yeah.
And I think it's that treatment that they do.
IF, right?
In vitro?
Yeah.
It almost seems like it's almost guaranteed twins,
which is the greatest way you could do it as a parent.
You get a boy and girl.
Some of the guys, they get a boy and girl, and then they're out.
Like, just the same time, out.
They get two kids at one.
The Octomom had eight.
Huh?
The Octomom, you remember her?
Yeah.
She got famous.
She got famous like those three identical strangers got famous.
Yeah.
Oh, that's interesting.
That's a good comparison of how big the story was.
Yeah.
Kind of, yeah.
Yeah, Octomom was gigantic.
And the zeitgeist, for sure.
The tabloids were following around.
I mean, it's like, what is she up to?
And I think that's what's so hard for all of them is they go from being a regular person to the most famous can't go anywhere.
So, I mean, you're watching.
So we talk about celebrity a lot.
When you're seeing Brad Pitt or whoever, Tom Cruise,
they know how to be a celebrity.
They know the world.
So when someone gets completely normal,
like nothing at all,
and then just thrown in to the next day,
they can't go outside and they're the most famous i mean that's i mean that's a gigantic leap just to go you don't have any training you
know i mean like it was like you don't have any experience up to that like that's why they talk
about that thing about pulling those babies apart is they don't get that like experience together like they don't get like
experiences everything man i'm a big fan of experience like it's experience is something
that gets overlooked and uh but they experience completely you know completely matters and so
they didn't get that but when they get in like so they didn't get to be the experience of
learning to be famous and then they're just super famous which is then why everything kind of crumbles that they can't
because you can't keep up with it there's no reasoning there's no you know you're like
everything's just such a shock that you know i don't know especially if you're a kid like a like
a i had 19 dude i mean like same yeah the octomile looked her up her kids are now 11 Especially if you're a kid Like a famous child Yeah, it's insane
Yeah, Octomile looked her up
Her kids are now 11
And doing alright
All eight of them are still?
Wow
Yeah
She got kind of criticized when all that happened
But they're doing alright
Yeah, because she had eight kids
Yeah
People were mad about that
Yeah
What she had
She did it like
Cause she had some
Embryos implanted
And
Yeah
Like she was trying to have eight
She was trying to have eight
I would think
Yeah
Yeah I mean
She was trying to increase
Her chances of
Having kids
And so
They all came out
Oh
But she wasn't
Planning on eight
She didn't think
They'd all make it
Yeah
Oh really
I always thought
She was gunning for eight I mean I don't I don't I don oh really i always thought she was gunning for eight
i mean i don't i don't i don't think so you thought she was going for the record yeah is that
the record i bet there's no no that's the record there was one in australia that had nine but one
of them died at birth so eight's the i think the one woman gave birth to over 60 kids over the
course of her not at once but over the course of her life. Not at once, but over the course of her life.
Well, that's not what we're talking about here.
I'm just saying.
If she had 60.
I remember that.
Eight's the record at once.
So, man.
Do you find it weird, though, that twins generally always look the same
throughout the progression?
Their body types stay the same?
Like if one of them is physically fit,
they'll both be physically fit.
If one of them lets himself go,
they'll usually both let themselves go.
But they were, I mean, in that one,
Bobby and David were two different sizes.
As adults?
Yeah, as adults.
Bobby seemed like he was slim,
and then David seemed like he was still stout and big.
Yeah, that's true.
I know twins, when they're little, their parents dress them alike and they look alike.
But then I know a lot of twins who even as adults look very similar.
Really?
Because genetics is the same, I guess, as far as your metabolism.
Yeah.
Well, all of them, when all three of those brothers got together, they were the same size.
Yeah.
They looked exactly the same.
Same size, same build, you know.
Well, yeah, they were all in college age
where you're peak physical, you know, everything.
Yeah, one of them had a little bit shorter hair,
and then I noticed that you let it grow out pretty quick.
Who?
One of the triplets.
Yeah.
I was looking at the,
you guys remember these guys?
Yeah. Yeah, too. I mean you guys remember these guys? Yeah.
Yeah, too.
The McGuire twins.
These are the – yeah.
Aaron, did you ever get recognized for these guys?
From the back?
Just one of them.
You should have a picture of them with Aaron sitting backwards in a chair.
I want to be clear.
They weighed about 750 pounds each.
Yeah.
I think it's so low.
We make for you the one.
I don't think you're a big guy.
Listen, I know you guys like to clown on me, but I actually am a good piano player.
Piano player.
So one of them weighed 723, and the other one weighed 745.
You'd think the 723 guy was like, come on, man.
You've got to get your life together.
What are you doing?
Trashing.
He's like –
Like when they sit there with the doctor, and the doctor's like, you guys got to get your life together. What are you doing? Trashing. When they sit there with the doctor
and the doctor's like, you guys got to lose weight.
The 723 guy's looking and he's like,
he's talking to you, man.
He's not talking to me.
What are you doing, man?
At that point, losing 20 pounds is nothing.
Losing 20 pounds of them is nothing.
You probably fluctuate 20 pounds
every night when you sleep.
When you're that big.
I fluctuate 5 or 6 pounds pounds every night like when you sleep yeah maybe when you're that big yeah you know because i fluctuate five or six pounds probably every day you think the 745 was hey man what are you doing i'm doing the all meat diet yeah no man that's not i heard that's
not good for you i mean they were i'm yeah these two guys and they're professional wrestlers i
didn't i didn't know that but there's some video of them in the ring you know it's ironic they're
famous for that picture of the two of them on motorcycles yeah one of them died in a
motorcycle accident yep yeah which i mean it could not have been easy to ever yeah what kind of
motorcycle did you get going like what was built i mean one of those probably how i mean talk about
a motorcycle i mean 730 pounds on top of you.
Yeah.
This motorcycle.
I'd love to interview that motorcycle.
They weren't going fast, I'll tell you that much.
They were not going fast.
I mean, yeah.
It's like he died.
It's like that kind of where you just see him go,
and then he tips.
It's just like a wiggly line.
I mean, if you don't get going right, then they tip.
They love their motorcycles.
You're seeing those as a speed racing motorcycle.
When did they die?
The heaviest twins.
We're looking at the heaviest twins.
One of them outlived the other one by like 30 years, I think.
One of them died in 1979, age 32.
Yeah.
A motorcycle accident.
And the other one died recently.
A falling accident en route to ripley's
believe it or not he lived 21 more years 54 died in 2001 of just heart failure wow 54 is unreal to
uh to be that big yeah yeah uh are they from tennessee no Hendersonville, North Carolina. Oh. The grave is marked by a 13-foot wide granite headstone,
which is believed to be the largest in the world.
Yeah, I mean, that's crazy.
I mean...
When do you think you decide, let's go for the record?
Yeah.
You know?
I don't think they decide.
At a certain point, they're like, let's lean.
This is all we got.
Let's lean into it.
No, I don't think they ever lean into it.
I think around 500, they looked at each other and said, we can do it.
Yeah.
I think you stumble into that record.
And I think when you're that big, I think someone, and I think it takes a person a long time before they say it,
but then someone does eventually just go like,
hey, I'm not trying to be rude, but you guys, honestly,
have a chance to be the heaviest people in the world.
And someone has, and they're like, what?
I mean, especially back then when they did it,
someone had to have been like,
they bring over the Guinness Book of World Records.
You probably got to have one friend that's willing to be like,
I'll tell them.
You probably have your outside friends are going like,
because they crossed into a point, when you get to be like, I'll tell them. Your outside friends are going like, they crossed into a point,
when you get to like 400, 500,
I mean, now your friends,
no one's even saying you should lose weight.
I mean, what are you going to say?
What are you doing, man?
Get out?
You get out much?
These guys, I mean, honestly,
were pretty active for that much.
They rode motorcycles.
They wrestled.
They were out and about.
You would have thought they would have just started trimming down.
That's what makes me think they were trying for this.
I think they leaned into it.
I don't think they just looked up one day and were like,
oh, we're the fattest twins in the world.
How did that happen?
I think they did.
Wow.
I think you would have just thought that you are the fattest twin.
You're just big.
But do you think they kept track of other twins that were gaining weight?
Like, uh-oh, the Jones boys, they're gaining on us.
They just didn't like them?
Yeah.
They go, yeah, but they're not.
Come on, man, we've got to do something.
They go, yeah, I don't know. I mean, how much did Andre the Giant weigh? didn't like them yeah they go yeah but they're come on man we got to do something they go uh
yeah i don't know i mean andre how much did andre the giant weigh
he didn't weigh that much he probably weighed five six hundred pounds right
but he was not uh less than that i think like 400 pounds right yeah
but he was uh yeah so look that up how much much Andre the Giant weighed. Yeah, so he was...
I mean, Andre the Giant...
All the stories of him...
520 pounds.
7'4", though, which is a huge amount.
Yeah, I mean, that's pretty big.
Yeah.
And he had a twin. Did you guys know that?
That would be amazing.
I almost did.
There are celebrity twins that you're like,
boy, how did that
Like
Who were we talking about
Yeah they're not good
Go to the topics again
Like the
Scarlett Johansson
Yeah she has a twin brother
Yeah she has a twin brother
You knew that
I knew it
No
Oh okay
Before
Yeah
It's not that
Elvis had one
Elvis had twins
Is the craziest thing is the craziest on the
list of the sling he died it he was stillborn so yeah but it's like it's
that's the only that's the one that's a big shock so that's a big what if if
Elvis Presley had a yeah that's when what if he just some equally talented
charismatic guy was out there as well
would they have been a
duo act or do you think they would have
branched off and done different things
would he have made it over Elvis
maybe I mean maybe he would have been the more
talented of the two
that's the nature and the nurture
that's what the whole point of this study
is you know what they should do they should do study like that
they should just kill the other twin.
That's what we're going to find out.
That is what's crazy, though, is, you know,
because if you would have heard that three identical strangers,
if someone told you that, you found out to that,
and someone was like, hey, they're still in, like, twins,
that would be something that you would be like,
well, that's a conspiracy theory, and you're being ridiculous.
Like, you know, that's that crazy of a thing,
that you would, like, go like, well, that,
because it does sound like a
conspiracy theory and then uh when you find out it's true that they're doing it so i mean that's
where the conspiracy theory is like when they get stuff you're like some of it is true i mean if
someone just said we're stealing they're having triplets and twins being born and then they're
separating them to see what happens in their life. Yeah. You would never believe that.
Yeah.
I wouldn't believe that.
Before I knew about this documentary, if you told me that that happened, I'd be like, well,
no.
If you told me you knew about that, I'd be like, hey, dude, if you ever need to talk,
just let me know.
Yeah.
Hope you're doing okay.
And then the, yeah.
I mean, it sounds crazy.
Sounds crazy.
Yeah.
And that's what the conspiracy theories say.
Napoleon Dynamite has twin brother? Yeah. Yeah, it sounds crazy. Sounds crazy. Yeah. And that's what the conspiracy theory is. Napoleon Dynamite has a twin brother?
Yeah.
Yeah, they're all.
Parker and Christopher Posey.
I know Tiki and Rondé.
Rondé and Barbara were twins.
It's always interesting when one athlete does way better than the other one.
They both have pretty good careers, though.
Not those guys particularly, but there are some athletes that one does much better.
Who?
Like who in particular?
Let's move on.
I mean, what was that?
Yeah, you admit them.
Well.
And then when you then realized, oh, you know what?
They did actually have okay careers.
Rondé was a good player.
Tiki was much more.
Tiki had some big years, though. Tiki's what I'm saying. Tiki was much more no tiki had some big years though like i mean tiki tiki's what
i'm saying tiki was the better yeah but then ron they stayed longer and then was one of them
retired early didn't they tiki retired early then ron day like stayed longer and played for tampa
and like was a solid solid player like yeah you know wasn't like just a hanger on her the nfl like
started for tampa and did great i it did better after Tiki left.
Tiki was just more known with being the Giants,
but they both had solid careers.
I looked up the tallest twins ever, and one of them,
they're both like 7'6 or something.
One of them went to play at UCLA,
and the other one went to the University of Denver.
To play.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's a little bit, you know, UCLA's got a little bit more
history there.
That's interesting
because they're twins.
They're genetically gifted
in the same way.
Yeah.
So does that mean
that one just worked
that much harder
than the other one?
Well,
we should do a study
and see what happens.
All right.
Where are we at?
We're at a minute 10.
So, all right. I think that's it.
We're going to talk real quick about the parallel
universe. I want to
do that on a whole. We'll do that on
another episode because that's
probably pretty fun. All right. And then we can
figure out a rapid talk about
a little teaser.
Is there a parallel
universe with another you out there?
Like, do you have a you, or is it us?
Is this podcast being done in another universe that's probably done better?
I mean, a lot of people are like, that's where I listen.
I'd rather listen to the other version of it. But that seems like that goes, that could be its own kind of
into the space and universe
and pretty fun.
All right.
Pretty fun stuff.
