Hello, folks. Welcome to Nateland. Welcome, everybody, to the history of Nateland. I don't know. That was good. That was a good one. I've been watching you do these incredible promos. I want to go get all those things right now, by the way. So we got a guest here today. Someone that people wanted to know because I've talked about you on the podcast and they think that we don't know each other.

But here we are. Here it is, dude. Shay. It's so good to meet you for the first time today. Welcome. Shay Mooney from Dan and Shay. We tried to get Dan. Yeah.

Was the original goal. You go, wait till you guys, wait till you meet Dan. Yeah. It's incredible. So let's get through this one. I isn't. There we go. I've always been asked

Shay I always talk about I don't know anything about music right yeah but I think people know that yeah

but I love your music why is that I'm joking that was a joke why is that I don't know it's pretty good I thought about a joke

a while ago just to go in to go Shay I have a terrible taste in music but I love what you do. Why don't you go ahead and tell me why is that? Why do you think that is? What do you think the deal with that is?

What do you think the correlation between horrible music and what you do is? And what you do. How do you and Bill's connect? People make fun of my music choices, Shay. Yeah. And I listen to you mainly the whole time. Why do you think that is? People are furious with the music I choose to play in my car.

It's always you guys. I've been listening to, honestly, I'm a big Dan and Shay fan. Well, thank you. Truthfully. And I've been listening to Dan and Shay radio. Yeah. And that's pretty good. Yeah, Dan and Shay.

I've liked listening to the radio that you get to bounce around. I know people do that a lot for comedy. I'm sure way more people do it for music than comedy, but I only know my world. Then I've started doing it. I would listen to you guys. Then they play and you're like, this is a really good...

I'm getting better with music. That's good, though. That's a good progression. I haven't listened to your radio enough. Enough. That's what I was saying. That was a good progression. I haven't listened to your radio. Oh, enough. Enough. That's what I was saying. Enough. That was a joke. I'm a comedian, so you got to stay with me here.

That's true. I'm not quick enough. You know, you're not. But it's, you know, I got to check, you know, I got to check out your radio station as well. I don't really know. So you're talking about like when you pull on Dan and Shay radio that plays other music that is kind of curated for that. Yeah, you do it because you're trying to not get any Dan and Shay stuff.

And that's usually how it goes. That's how it goes. I like to listen to Dan and Shay right now. You go, I'm trying to attack the most direct thing. How do I not get this? Yeah. You go, I like what Dan and Shay is trying to do, but I want to hear some other people do it better.

Who's gotten there already? Yeah. People who have figured it out. I like to hear them. Yeah, I do YouTube music, and then it's Spotify and all this. So you just listen, and it's just I like to hear them. It's, yeah, like I do YouTube music and then it's Spotify and all this. So you just listen and it's just like music like Dane and Shay. Yeah. And so it's a wide variety.

It's Vance Joy. Yeah. I like Vance Joy. That pops up on you guys. Very nice. Mix over. Then you have like Darius and Brett Young. I wonder how much people like in their mind, the people who are played next,

they judge you based on what that is. Well, it is like, who are you paired with? Yeah. Because sometimes it's out of your control. If you hear a bad song, you're just like, I hate Dan and Shay. It's not even us. They suggested this to me. Dan and Shay suggested this to me.

I think they're bad guys. It's who people think you compare to, which is kind of funny that we have no control over that. Yeah. And it's just being like, you like this,

you probably like this. Yeah. And then you figure out. And if you go listen to it, you might hear something that you're like, oh, I can't stand that guy. And you're like,

well, you are the same. Yeah. You're the exact same. It's a real awakening that you go. They're going to start playing just bits of your comedy after.

I was like, well, we clearly – That should be mixed in. This music is clearly a joke. Yeah, yeah. What did you see? His Netflix special? Oh, no. I haven't got to – I have, I have.

Did they recommend other comedians after that? No. They're like, this is probably enough. They go, if you like this, I don't think you're like anything else on our platform. If you like this, it's not going to be good. We went out on a limb with this guy, and you're – Those other guys, they're not on here. They're not on this platform. You you like this, it's not going to be good. We went out on a limb with this guy and you're... Those other guys, they're not on here.

They're not on this platform. You're by yourself. Yeah. You can go to Houston and see them in a small comedy club. They don't have specials. At a Houston's actually,

the restaurant. Yes. That's where he does most of his shows. I almost spilled this coffee on my shirt. That would have been a long day.

He says it's coffee. You guys are like, oh man, they're drinking some coffee. You had to do an early one. It's 4 p.m. This is just a continuing. It just keeps going. This is not coffee. So as always, Shay, we read comments to open the podcast.

As we do here. As we do here at Nate Land. Welcome. You're one of the Natelanders. Yeah. So first up, Torin Shanta. Torin Shanta. I teach you.

I love her. You like her? Yeah. It's a guy. No, I think it's a girl. I just wish Torin. There was a 50-50. Torin would be...

Torin is a girl. Oh, Torin sounds male to me. Really? Mm-hmm. T-O-R-I-N? Yeah. If it was TOR-A. Let's see. I teach a high school level intro to philosophy class, so I was burdened with the question,

does knowing something about a topic make the episode more or less enjoyable? The answer is unequivocally more enjoyable. This is some big words I got through. Watching Aaron flex his college minor in Basket Case, read more quotes from The Office than the actual philosophers, all while Nate is having absolutely none of it, was unbelievable. One of my favorite episodes yet, Keep Up the Great Work. So yeah, they call him all crazy names.

That's fantastic. Do you know what my real name is? Not now. Is it Toran? Is that you? This is him. If we get a positive Brian comment, that's usually Brian. He pays me about 20 bucks to go on here sometimes. David Hartley, the episode of Gary Veeder was hands down one of the most interesting podcasts I've ever heard

by anyone the episode on philosophy was downright painful it was almost as if I was becoming dumber as the episode progressed

at what point I thought that's the opposite of learning luckily when Nate mentioned Aristotle eating at Chili's that kept me going

till the end even when your shows are horribly rambling, they're hilarious. I do think whenever you guys have a guest, the show tends to have some direction. Keep it up. So this guy likes a guest.

He does. Buckle up. Because today's not going to probably be it. I know. Well, most don't like a guest, Shay. Yeah. It's so good to be here. It's going to be fun.

Michelle Ramirez. Favorite podcast yet? Also, if everyone looked the same, I think the world would be pretty similar. Humans would just find another way to defentuate. Boy, I think we should have a whole episode on this word. Different. Differentiate? Differentiate.

I needed that one. I got a way to, I'm different, and then much-yate it. I'm different. I appreciate way to I'm different and then machiate it I'm different and fight one another like clothing or language yeah that's very true

so we're not gonna do that we were gonna try to get everybody to look the same it was a pretty big yeah it was a pretty big thing we had to raise some money up for that one

we'd have to do a Patreon it was a philosophical question we threw We'd have to raise some money up for that one. We'd have to do a Patreon. It was a philosophical question we threw out last week. It's kind of like the theory behind it. If everybody looked the same, would the world be better or worse? Well, that's what private schools try to do with uniforms. Yes. That's the whole philosophy behind that. Yeah.

And so is it better or worse? Shane, go ahead. Okay. First of all, I'd just like to say I'm a pretty philosophical guy. Yeah. Everybody knows that. I almost got philosophical in there. You didn't do differentiate very well, so I can say philosophical wrong.

That's a hard one. There'll be some more of those, Shay. Differentiate. Differentiate. Differentiate. That's not even close. That's a different way of saying it. It sure is.

Benjamin Merrill. I think the title philosophy set my standards too high. Ten minutes in and Nate has already told Aaron to sit on someone's face. He said that would be my wrestling move. His wrestling move would be to sit on someone's face. Like Rikishi. Yeah. What was your wrestling name?

Didn't you have a – Oh, some of the gout foot or something they called me. That's pretty good. It was – Benjamin Merrill. Yeah, his wrestling move is he has the, some of the gout foot or something they called me. That's pretty good. It was – Benjamin Barrow. Yeah, his wrestling move is he has the other guy check his gout out. And he asks him what he thinks about it. And he goes, do you think it's gout?

And they have a conversation on the mat. It's called the DV, the doctor's visit. Yeah. It's lengthy. Did you have a wrestling name? I was a pretty famous wrestler actually back in the day. Yeah. I didn't think it'd ever come back, but we don't need to talk about that.

I was a pretty famous wrestler. So you don't have one? No. And you're just rambling. Yeah. Amanda JB. I'd like to – are these the people's last names? Because that can't be a one.

It's either their full name or their YouTube username. This one is podcast reviewer. Okay. Got it. I was going to say this doesn't – It's either their full name or their YouTube username. This one is podcast review. Okay, got it. I was going to say, she's either a huge Justin Bieber fan. Amanda JB? Or that's her name. Her name could be just Amanda Gibb. Yeah, it's Polish.

JB's Polish. Yeah, it is. I teach medieval literature and was thrilled to see that you did an episode on the Middle Ages. We can stop right there. Yeah. I teach medieval literature. was thrilled to see that you did an episode on the Middle Ages. We can stop right there. Yeah. I teach medieval literature. That's an incredible insight. I know.

That's a whole class. Yeah, that's amazing. It can be hard to think of subplans as a teacher, so it's great to have your Middle Ages episode in my back pocket in case I need it. I plan on sharing your philosophy episode with one of my coworkers so he can have a sub plan for his class too. So like if you have a substitute teacher. They would just put on

our episode. Dude, we're changing minds over here. You're changing lives. You know a lot about middle age. So that was a good one. That was a good one. I nailed that. I got it.

I got it. That should be the name of your podcast. It's called Middle Ages. It's just you guys. I know. Well, he I got it. I got it. That should be the name of your podcast. It's called Middle Ages. Middle Ages. It's just you guys. I know. Well, he's past it. We try.

Middle Ages. He's past it. He's too young. There you go. Clayton Horton. I am currently a college student graduating with my bachelor's degree in two months. For my final assignment in one of my classes, I had to write a paper about apology by Plato, where I actually got to reference some of the things you talked about on the Philosophy Podcast. For my final assignment in one of my classes, I had to write a paper about apology by Plato,

where I actually got to reference some of the things you talked about on the Philosophy podcast. I took a picture of my sources so you could see that you have now made it as an official educational podcast. The quote I used from the podcast was from Aaron, so I sure hope his time at Notre Dame was legit and I didn't just flunk this paper. So this dude, dude, we're a source. We're a source on an actual college paper. Oh, my God.

Wow, dude. Yeah, that's a 10 out of 10. Were you right, Aaron? I don't know what he quoted me on. I don't know. But I probably was. Let us know. He's graduating.

It's a big grade, right? He was going to. Can you imagine if you were the reason? Like, look, guys, I'd like to point out this reference. This says a lot about you. This guy is just under a bridge in two years, and he goes, I should never listen to that Nate Lamb podcast. We listen to that podcast.

Let us know what your grade was, Clayton. I want to know how did it go. That's pretty fun. That's awesome. Cat Rockwell. I feel like there wasn't enough acknowledgement of Aaron's in 1900, God says, Nietzsche's dead. Yeah, that's a good joke.

I missed it at the time. Thanks. So I feel like there wasn't enough acknowledgement of Aaron's in 1900, God said, Nietzsche's dead. So I quoted Nietzsche saying God is dead. That's his famous quote. And then Aaron looked him up, and Nietzsche died in 1900, I guess, right? Yeah.

So he's basically saying God told you you're dead. Oh, yeah. There you go. That is a good one. That's very funny. Sorry, I'm not used to jokes being brought to the table. So I'll keep a lookout from here on out. Robert Hart, or Harty.

I love how Nate keeps referring to the standard 12 ounce can of pop as the little ones. So Laura told me, I keep saying they're 12 ounces, but they're seven and a half ounces. So it is a little. But you get the 12 ounce of the bottles. No, but I do sometimes get the 12 ounce of bottles, but then she, lately I've been drinking the seven and a half of the bottles no but we i do sometimes get the 12 ounce of bottles but then she lately i've been drinking this seven and a half of the can yeah did you think that those the bottle and the can were the same size i did yeah yeah all right we can move on i just wanted to clarify but what standard size for can't like a can of 20 ounce would be right 12 ounces the standard 12 yeah

12 ounce yeah that's like that's like a can of beer okay and a coat yeah yeah kirby morrison maybe this is why aaron hasn't been able to get to planet fitness he's too busy thinking about how it's logically impossible to get there i mean it is i like that kirby it is this that's pretty good that's what you should tell that's what i put in the letter yeah i'd love to come in there but but it's logically impossible how can i get there to get there i would have to first get halfway there right yeah and to get halfway there i'd have to get a quarter of the way there first yeah and you can keep doing that an infinite amount of time it's impossible to go anywhere is what i'm trying to say yeah that's the message i'm trying to get across i think that must be why

i don't get things what becomes more impossible is if after you do a quarter how many more words do you have to describe 8th 16th 32nd 64th 128 256 512 1024 i can multiply by two and right after 1024 it's a bunch that's where a bunch etc etc how much we have a bunch yeah but i would just make you keep going until you're like i was about done yeah just now i can't i would just make you keep going until you're like – I was about done. Yeah. Just now I can't – I was impressed with that. Yeah.

And then you're done. And then – Et cetera, et cetera. And then I still have to pay the $10. Jack Weeb. I don't know. Jack Weeb. I don't know if that's – maybe it's Jackie even.

It's good to be Jackie. Jackie BB. Jackie BB. It's Jackie BB. It's French. That's probably what she meant. In this last episode, Nate mentioned a time when he forgot what a chair was. There's a name for that, according to Wikipedia.

Semantic satiation is a psychological phenomenon. Whoa. Much like this sentence. Let's take the long way around, don't we? In which repetition causes a word or phrase to temporarily lose meaning for the listener, who then perceives the speech as repeated, meaningless sounds. So I was something. Wow. Yeah. So I looked for an Easter, I looked for a chair. I was supposed to, the Easter basket was

near a chair, my parents told me when I was a kid. And I kept thinking about the word chair so much that I forgot what a chair actually was. That's wild. I feel like this is probably the same – because this has honestly happened to me before. Have you ever written out a word and looked at it and been like, I don't think that's it? Like a simple word, like exit. Yes. Would be a word I think that I looked at it i was like why is that spelled

that way it's semantic satiation that sentence was crazy that was she trapped you there she was like he's gonna have a pretty tough time with this one yeah she got there's it was almost perfect the two words semantic satiation was like enough to be like oh i got through it and then it was like it's like when you're riding a ride you're like was that the hill yeah that's not that bad of a hill and then you're just down as you hit the curve yeah that was like something i would say to warm up for this podcast like semantic satiation repetition greg rogers chest of drawers not chester chester drawers it's a chest of drawers yeah didester. Chester drawers. It's a chest of drawers. Yeah.

Did I say Chester drawers? Yeah, you made a whole joke about it. Oh, yeah. Chester, Chester. Yeah, yeah. But do you actually call it a Chester drawers of you? I don't think I ever say that. I don't think.

I think I just said the drawers. Do you say it worse? Chester. I probably say Chester, chest of drawers. I probably do say Chester drawers. Yeah, I always say Chester drawers growing up. A Chester drawers? It's a chest of drawers. What? Yeah. You say Chester? Maybe drawers I probably do say Chester drawers I always said Chester drawers Chester drawers it's a chest of drawers

what yeah you say Chester maybe I just found out I did it's a chest of drawers what do you call the house that's on

your neighborhood on the other the other corner you say that house is what to you a chest of drawers I always call it the semantic safety

it's where Chester lives Cat-a-corner You say cat-a-corner You say cat-a-corner I heard you're kitty-corner too No I haven't heard that one People say that

Yeah Do people say that? I think people say that No one knows Find me one person who says kitty-corner Yeah I could see that Maybe I have heard that before

Scott Amanda Is that two? I wonder heard that before. Scott Amanda. Is that two? I wonder if it's him and his wife. If it is. They're one of those couples. They got a combined Facebook. Poor Scott is like, I know, but can I have my own?

And she goes, no, we're doing it together. And they wrote this comment. Nate's philosophy should be words are hard instead of all words matter I messed up that they should be words are hard you did that how they would that's what I live by

they hoped you would read it like that he nailed it that's what I get for making fun of them feast for thought finally I found a podcast

talking about the three great philosophers Frank Bargetzi Ted Lasso and Michelangelo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. That's what it's about. Yeah.

That's why we do the podcast. Cowabunga. All right, everybody. So with our guest, as usual. Am I the usual guest? With our guest, as usual. Very average guest today. No, but we like to talk about where everybody's from, the states.

And so a lot of people don't know. If people, I think you're, everybody's kind of knowing who you are now. I think Dan and Shay. Don't you think? Did you see Chris Pratt posted about 10,000 hours? I didn't. I'm a huge Chris Pratt fan. This is the first I'm hearing of it.

I need to leave here immediately. I know. So Chris Pratt posted. It was him and his wife, Catherine, Arnold Schwarzenegger's daughter, is who he's married to. And then I believe her name is Catherine. And she, it was their favorite song. But they said 10,000 hours and they tagged Justin Bieber.

He has no idea we're on that song. Yeah. He's like, was there somebody else? But you're singing, it's y'all, whose song is it? Was it your song? It was ours, yeah. Yeah, and you got Bieber. I had a real problem with this.

Chris? Yeah. Unbelievable, dude. Huge fan, been supporting you for years, and this is how you treat me. Is he behind there? Who are you talking to? I'm not really sure. Chris Pratt?

Yeah, maybe. You have a camera? Oh, you're looking at the camera. It's a little Shea-land starting, dude. Yeah, you're starting a new podcast? It's Aaron Deer in this podcast? It is. We already have Aaron.

What's a simulcast? Yeah, Aaron's got his own podcast, Aaron Land. Okay. And Aaron's doing this podcast. I didn't know you were going to do one, too. Well, because sometimes they land here. Sometimes they want to land over in Shea-land. out shaytown uh shaytown usa but that is awesome though i really did not know that i did not hear that it's first i'm hearing of it it's their song

and uh that's incredible that's where you can tell so when you do something when you do a song like that uh that was y'all's probably that was like the the – Definitely our farthest reaching. Yes. Yeah. And so when you do do a song like that and you get Bieber to do it, is that what musicians are trying to do? Especially y'all are coming along. Y'all are doing great.

You're doing huge, huge places. It's not like necessarily you need Justin Bieber. Yeah. But obviously Justin Bieber is huge. And so if you get him, then you get all those fans, and then they get to hear you. So many more people are going to hear that song because it's Bieber. But obviously, Justin Bieber is huge. And so if you get him, then you get all those fans. And then they get to hear you. So many more people are going to hear that song because it's Bieber. 100%. I mean, we got to places that we would never would have.

Like that song had like a, I mean, hundreds of millions of plays in like China and all over Asia. Places that we'd never, probably wouldn't go with straight up, you know, they're not listening to country radio over there. I don't think it's doing that great. It like it is expanding which is really cool like country music is is really expanding but yeah having someone like justin bieber which it's a whole different thing of like of a worldwide hit yeah it's just something so different did you just ask him or did he yeah so just a yeah an email email hey listen my name's shay no we we've known him for a second i think we met him probably back in 2014 or 15 or something and it was uh it kind of just made

sense at this time like we've gotten to the point where at the beginning of our career like we have a you know scooters is also one of our managers so we it wasn't you know we met him through him but we didn't want to just be like can you get justin on a random yeah on a song like it wasn't, you know, we met him through him. But we didn't want to just be like, can you get Justin on a random song? Like it doesn't, it has to make sense for both. You don't just like get somebody. So Scooter, what's his name, Scooter Braun? Yeah. Who does everybody.

Yeah. And then, so yeah, you're with him under his umbrella. But he knows it's good to be able to do one of your songs. Sure. But it does have to fit. And he just has to be like, yeah. It just made sense. It was like good timing.

So it was like we're at the point where it also benefits him. So he got his first country hit and got his first – yeah, got his first hit on country radio, which is a cool thing. He's done everything. Everything. And he won a Grammy. And he won a Grammy. Yeah, which is pretty cool.

And then, yeah, what do you got, four Grammys? That was our third. Third. Yeah, thanks for – now I feel stupid. Third Grammys. Wow. Oh, I thought it was four. Yeah, thanks for – now I feel stupid. Third Grammys. Wow. Oh, I thought it was four. Yeah, I thought that's why I had you.

No, it's not. You're – Oh. Dan and Shay Twitter page, the picture is just a phone number. 615, old school. Yeah. Here you go. So do you or Dan answer that?

Yeah, it's just my phone. Yeah. Can we just call it? You can call it right now. It just starts ringing. Well, that's the thing where people can text you. It is. It's called Community is the app, and it's really cool.

We actually go on there and actually text people and make videos, and it's a whole thing. It's the only thing we do. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's a good way to be in contact. It's very personal. Yeah, yeah. Being able to keep up with people.

So you've been – so you're from Arkansas. Yep. Where at in Arkansas? I'm not sure. It's just in the left side of it. Yeah? Yeah, just down there. That's how much y'all don't know?

Yeah, we didn't do – We didn't do it. We didn't do school. That's how small it was. We didn't have a name for the town. Where are you from? I'm just up the road. It's just up there.

How are you – like your town was so – it was a very small town yeah it's called natural dam and there's there's 511 people like is the population so how many of them made in country music um a good bit 110 more than you think more than you think yeah alan jackson tim mcgraw yeah we were all from the same family they're not from there they're not from there god that'd be there is there's if i had to as far as Arkansas, my area, I was definitely the only – I think I might have been one of the only people to leave. Yeah. It wasn't even like, did he make it? Like, we don't know.

Yeah. But he left. He left. So that's a pretty good start. But no, it's close to Fort Smith. It's probably like 45 minutes away from Fort Smith, which is a bigger town. They're probably – at that time, I think there were 75,000, but it's probably much bigger now it's probably like 45 minutes away from fort smith which is a bigger town they're probably at that time i think there were 75 000 but it's probably much bigger now it's grown but uh it's kind of in between fort smith and fayetteville which is a big fayetteville rogers walmart land

it's uh yeah that's exploded up there so yeah but it's i mean it's literally the middle of nowhere just like out in arkansas so yeah my parents are out there and it's pretty you were raised too uh i was yeah you were yeah yeah yeah you might not know this he was actually tell me if i'm speaking right here you were raised yeah all right yeah uh you're fully grown yeah well we think we're hoping we still got hope a little bit uh my uncle told me a story one time that he was like 5'9 until – and this is a true story. He was actually – he was 5'9 until when he graduated high school, and now he's 6'2. He grew from high school to college. So imagine my anticipation.

That you thought. That I thought. I was like looking at it, like telling people like, this isn't it. Yeah. Yeah. So you talk down to me now. Yeah. Just wait.

Wait. I'm about to be six. I think I'm moving right now. I feel like I'm moving. Yeah. Oh, everyone's probably like, hold on a second. Can you feel me? Yeah.

Yeah. Scotty Pippen. You just go, oh, there's a pencil up there. I didn't even know that. I was, I was measuring myself at all times. Scotty Pippen grew in college. Arkansas guy. Yeah.

Six one out of high school goes to what? Central Arkansas. He went to, yeah. UCA. And ended up 6'8. Has there been a better player ever that went to such a small school? No. Jerry Rice. That's bigger. Where did he go?

He went to Mississippi Valley, I think. Do you consider Indiana State a small school? Larry Bird? Yeah, Mississippi Valley. That's a tiny school. That Bird? Yeah, Mississippi Valley. That's a tiny school. It is. No one's even heard of that. That's up there for sure. I mean, I think they were 1AA, I think.

Central Arkansas was? Central Arkansas was NAI. That's like Cumberland. Oh, wow. That's about as small as you get. Yeah, Central Arkansas was very small. That's where my wife went to college. Oh, yeah? Not at the same time as Scottie Pippen. A little bit before. Yeah, a little bit.

Yeah, a little bit before. Yeah, a little bit before him. Yeah. Slightly before him. She's 65. Yeah. Obviously not the same time. A little bit before.

Yeah. But there's. Like, obviously not the same time. Yeah. A little bit. There's a. Yeah, I was going to say Scottie Pippen grew. I guess you want to hope that you can grow

you can grow but I've met your family y'all are all about the same size yeah you kind of see what you get yeah my wife

like when is it you know why you shrink oh laden oh yeah i always think scotty pippen looks exactly like bin laden oh so and i've never seen i've never seen him in the same room twice yeah i hope scotty pipps is a huge fan of this podcast and just unsuspecting that's not the first time he's heard it i'm sure yeah you don't see any similarities? Yeah, I do. I mean, I don't know if they're enough that I would ruin someone's life about it. But they're, yeah, I guess in the grand scheme of things. Oh, boy. This is a fun game we like to play. We like to bring up some other complete just horrible human beings and compare them to good ones.

Next up, we're going to go through Hitler's comparisons. Aaron, he's already got them drawn up. Bring up that picture of Nate. Plata's growth spurt. This will take a minute. Someone compared you to Hitler last week as far as playing golf. They said, who's more fun to play with, Hitler or Nate? Who said that?

A person that commented on that. After you talked about the people who, if you drop a ball and stuff. Yeah, that's funny. Did you say what you responded? Yeah, I said I played with both. You are correct. Did Hitler play golf? Was golf a thing when he was?

No, he was middle ages. No, I don't know. Kim Jong-il is the best golfer ever 18 he shot at 18 i'm sure he did yeah yeah these guys are just like yeah some people don't believe it but uh seems crazy seeing as he hit the woods a couple times but there's a country that does and so i believe it uh they uh so you grew up what i always think that's funny is i don't know i don't know how many people always know this uh but it's like i mean you grew up on a farm yeah like i mean real you're real arkansas very arkansas you're not you know even i don't know from the big city of arkansas yeah which i don't know if there's like a lot of – Did Bill Clinton grow up – I think he's – is he from Hope, Arkansas, I think?

Yeah, I think he is. Possibly, is that right? The only reason I know that is because there was – I used to do this choir thing for a couple years. It was like a church choir. We'd go around, and there was – we played in Hope, Arkansas, and there was a girl on our choir tour named Hope. And she was from Hope, Arkansas. Wow. And so I knew that old Billy was from there.

We call him Billy. Billy, yeah. He's a good guy. But yeah. You grew up, I mean, y'all had. Full on, like my, I feel like, yeah, I feel like I don't, people probably don't know that. They're probably like, he's probably from Seattle or something, you know? Yes.

You don't have that much of a Southern accent. Yeah, I know. And I appreciate that, buddy. It's great to be here with you guys. Every time I go home, I do kind of pick up on some things. You do. Well, it's good to see you guys now guys. Every time I go home, I do kind of pick up on some things. You do. Well, it's good to see you guys.

Thanks for coming out here. But it is funny because I grew up on a farm, and that was like our thing. I'd wake up at 5.30 and milk cows. That was my main job. Before school. Before school, yeah. And so I'd go, and we had to drive an hour to school because the school, – because the school – I don't want to like – people from Cedarville probably listen to this.

It's a way better school now. But at the time, it wasn't great. It wasn't a great school to go to. And you were an hour away. I don't know if they were like accredited as a school. Yeah. Was it a school? Like kind of.

People go there. There's kids that go there. It's like a daycare. You were getting more schooling probably on the farm. 100%. I actually homeschooled for like the first five years yeah like halfway through fifth grade and then just day your parents didn't want to drive you to school i bet i begged my sisters went to school like they started going to this other

school in fort smith arkansas and i was just like i was home alone by myself i was like as it wasn't as if it wasn't isolating enough but i was on a farm of you know in a town of 500 people but we had like all of our cousins and everyone lived there like we had you know our cousins and friends that lived like we would walk to each other's houses even though they were like a mile away i was in much better shape then but did you ever take a horse to their house yeah you know i did did you 100 yeah i i rode horses growing up but I had a pretty bad horse experience. There was this huge hill by our house, and I was just getting into riding horses. I had gotten a horse, and I think his name was – I can't remember what it was. We had Bolt, which is just a sign right there.

He was so fast and angry. I think they even told us whenever they sold it to us, they were like, he's pretty quick. In a way where it's just like, he's got issues. He likes to run real fast. And I think he was a racing horse for a while. And then he retired. He was doing super well.

To the Mooney farm. To the Mooney farm. And so I was going down a hill one time. And I let him. I think one of his shoes was messed up. And it was slipping. And so we go down this hill and i was like sprinting and he's sliding it's like he's running down this like it's a you know paved

road and so he's slipping and i'm going what feels like 180 miles an hour just terrified out of my mind and then yeah actually i didn't ride horses for a while this was a couple years ago yeah this last week yeah i think i was probably eight or nine yeah i was pretty young yeah that kind of traumatized me then i got kicked off of a horse one time yeah like we tried to me and my friend like put a bucket like this talk the horse with the same horse it was like right before this and i was trying to get on the horse and we were trying to do bareback because we thought that was a good idea like hey let's let's get on this horse that's barely trained and try to get on his bareback so So I got on there and, yeah, he kicked us off and then kicked us onto the bucket.

I could have died. So near-death experience. Yeah. But, yeah. Well, you grew up in, like, a time where it was like, yeah, you're just going to learn all that. Like, you're just a lot. Your parents are not even watching. Like, you're just.

That was the best time probably. Not the best time of my life, but one of the things that i cherish being able to like walk outside like i feel like that's a generational thing too though i've just we're in a different world now where you can't do like i would never send my kids out like be back by dark yeah like you would never see them like all right go wherever you want to go like there's no way i'd do that now but then it was just like we would come back at 9 p.m. and we would be fine. We'd go camping. We would be out all night in the woods.

My mom was like, they're probably camping. And wouldn't go look for us. He's fine. With a horse? You just take the horse off? She'd come out there with a lantern. Yeah. Shey! So yeah, my mom always knew, though.

She was close to Jesus. She always knew. Yeah, we're fine. She would know. And then that's what, I mean, you can't do it now. But they still live. If you live out there, we're fine. She would know. And then, that's what, I mean, you can't do it now, but they still live,

if you live out there though, you can probably still stay out. Yeah, we do it there. Like my sister, they still live out in the middle of nowhere and it's nice. Like when we go visit,

we're able to just be like, yeah, you guys go play. You're just in your own world. Have you ever played a show at Heroes Arena in Natural Dam? No,

but I do know, that's Ricky's spot. My dad's name is Ricky. Rick. Do you know that place? That's No, but I do know that's Ricky's spot. My dad's name is Ricky. Rick. Do you know that place? I do know it. It's right across the street from... So Grandview Assembly of God Church was where my dad built that church and the gym

there. And there's actually the original Grandview Assembly where I grew up going. It's right across from Heroes Arena. And it was uh you can see it there's my friend logan's house right there off the peaceful home road you guys go check him out he's got a great spot so yeah our friends built heroes arena it's a rodeo arena oh that's awesome yeah oh why is the picture a waterfall it's so yeah if you go down natural dam road right here you see natural dam kind of go to the left yeah if you go left that's the natural dam oh right that's where i grew up swimming and yeah there's all kinds of stuff in their bodies

and where is it i see there's a uh yeah you can find just about anything in there there's a postal service is it hard to get the horse to grab the bag to deliver the mail it is a lot of training harder than you think harder than you'd think yeah but also maybe not as hard as you oh yeah wow if it's a mail horse yeah yes and when a train comes they just pick up the letters well no they get on the train they have to ride they get on the yeah because it's a whole insurance thing they have a ramp they go there they have to ride the train yeah seven hour trip is it yep yeah to the next town yeah not not because it's that far the train's real slow they haven't got to change out the yeah it's a whole isn't that what they used

to do they have a hook on a train and you pick up man like you know what i'm talking about yeah like in the old days definitely sounds like it's something they do i'm just picturing a mailman going mailbox to mailbox with a horse and the horse reaches in and grabs the mail with its mouth. He throws it up. And he gets it back. He throws it up. And the mailman looks through it and then just leaves something out. He decides. He feeds it to the horse.

No. And they get a call from the electrical company. You haven't paid your bill. We're not getting it. We're not getting it. I don't know what to tell you. You guys got to stop using that card stock. That horse likes it a lot.

He likes it. He's been eating it. Yeah. So what's a fun Arkansas fact? I got a bunch of fun too. Arkansas. If you saw the word Arkansas, how would you think it's pronounced? Arkansas.

Yeah. Arkansas. Arkansas. Arkansas. Arkansas. Yeah. Yeah. The word comes, Kansas and Arkansas come from the same Native American word.

Yeah. Yeah. Because they were like, no, that's their from the same Native American word. Yeah. Yeah, because they were like, no, that's their Kansas. This one's ours. Yeah. This is our Kansas. Our Kansas. It could be. It could be.

Yeah, and they didn't know how to spell our or Kansas, apparently. Yeah. It comes from Akazi, which means land of the down river people. I was going to say that. I knew that. Yeah. I feel like, I get that vibe from you. Yeah.

I would say that. Yeah. I'm like, what do you think down river people are like? And that's a specific. Yeah. It sounds like a derogatory term. You definitely don't want to be down river people, I don't think. No.

Yeah. Well, think about all the things that go down the river. Yeah. Like those people are drinking out of that water. The people that are upstream, what do you think they're doing in that river? Probably not. They're probably putting some things in there. Not putting better water in it. They're not putting some things in there. Not putting better water in it.

They're not putting any better water in it. You're going to get- Is downriver people, that's probably a very bad thing. Yeah. I think when- Is that a term that we don't know that's wrong? I think when French settlers came, the Native Americans, they lived downriver, so they just called them the downriver people.

Oh. A little more simple than we thought, huh? No, but I think they- Is she a grounder? Yeah. I think they're better than them because they know to go to the top.

They probably didn't say it with a smile on their face. Yeah, if you start at the top then they're just drinking whatever you leave them. Yeah, the DRP. The DRP. So it was

half the state called it Arkansas and half called it Arkansas and finally the state legislature had to define the pronunciation and they decided

to call it Arkansas. It's against and they decided to call it Arkansas. It's against the law now to call it Arkansas. It's against the law? They passed a law, yeah. There's a lot of – that's a crazy – I'm pretty sure that for a while it was illegal to spit on the sidewalk in Little Rock. You'd get jailed for it. Yeah.

I remember looking that up one time. I can't remember if it was Little Rock, but it was – There's always weird laws. I used to have a joke about it. Something about drinking out of a bucket. You can't drink out of a bucket in Georgia. Yeah, that's – No, you can't drink out of a bucket on a corner in Georgia or something like that.

It was like a real – that's your first thing. Do you think that those things came from like small quarrels of like there was just like a guy, like a lawmaker, and then there was just this guy named Jim. He kept doing – Well, spitting on the the sidewalk i'd imagine is there people were dipping and just spitting yeah you know like old dip where it just it's everywhere yeah it's not like new dip yeah where you're spitting into a small space it's just like you kind of just like threw up yeah oil it's like motor yeah it did look like motor oil is a good way to describe it little, it is illegal to walk your cow down Main Street after 1 p.m. on Sunday.

That was always a hassle because it was like, how am I going to walk my cow? Fred goes, Fred, it's 1245. You better get to it. And he goes, we're going, we're going. It's because he got to one. That's why they had bells on cows. Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. Oh, yeah. That's a a pretty good i would have believed that the cow they were they you know they trained the cattle or it's like oh it's just about one he was just like and they'd wiggle it and it's like so that's why they do it that's why actually the reason they had you know why they have bells on cows yeah this is a true story so we had milk cows obviously i said it wasn't we didn't have like a dairy farm where we had like machines. It was like you had kids. The machines are the – It was our children.

It was me. Your sister. I went down there and I could literally – I could do a gallon. I don't know if I could do it now. At that time, I played drums. It was like my first instrument. No joke. I had – my wrists were like freaking unbelievably strong.

Yeah. I mean, it was incredible i could milk a gallon in probably in less than a minute in like 45 to 50 seconds a gallon and these these cattle were like i mean this we had this one you know dairy cow that was just an absolute just milk mate i don't know how to describe it there's no better way to say it but you were happy to get to her yes yes i mean it was literally she would produce milk so intensely yeah that you would just you'd barely have to have to milk i feel like we should move on because it's getting weird yeah yeah well we did have i

will tell you this story about to to keep her from because you basically you can get diseases if you if you if it's not if the if the cows aren't milk they get they get diseases. So we had lost a cow. She had had a baby. And they lost the baby. And so she had produced all this milk and couldn't – you have to get it out there. I can't remember what it's called. Mastitis, I think, is what it's called. You get filled with – it's too much milk in the bag.

It's like disease and all the crazy stuff. It can kill the cow. So we had to have it milked every once in a while but we had this goat that was given to us someone was like I got this goat and we had it

and almost like they knew y'all would take it you're gonna take it we were that too we had stray dogs people would dump their animals

and we were like we were hoping that this would happen so we had all these animals and we had this goat named Lucky and he thought he was a cow because he would he would actually nurse the cow yeah and that was how we he we kept her healthy

and safe is that and he needed milk yeah and to be fed so we had a goat named lucky and he had a big horseshoe he was black and white had a white horseshoe on his side and you could yell at him and you'd say hey lucky and he would scream back at you from the house yeah and it was really great yeah we had 60 guys why did he have a horseshoe on i think he was just super lucky oh oh my god so he had a horseshoe shape it was a horseshoe shape it wasn't it was he wasn't branded yeah that's what i was like lucky farms doesn't sound so lucky yeah lucky you we're better lucky we burned him yeah this is horrible so yeah we had six crazy that you would uh so y'all would milk yeah growing up y'all never went

and bought milk at the store no well we did we went to brahms i don't know if you guys had brahms right no brahms was like the that was kind of a it was a chain but it was like a local ish piggly wiggly is a bigger it piggly wiggly yeah yeah but they had like ice creams great spot still there i think and but my mom would always sneak it like because she wanted us to drink like unpasteurized milk because it was like it's healthier for you for sure without all the stuff in it so like she would sneak it into the brahms like she would get empty she would pour pour out the Brahms milk and sneak it. I couldn't tell the difference.

This milk doesn't look like normal milk. When you go to pour a glass, there's cream. It's clearly not Brahms milk. We used to call it that. We would ask her every time, is this Brahms milk or real milk?

We'd ask her every time. She was like, I don't know what you're talking about. I think you've got a pretty good idea of what you did this morning. is this Brahms milk or real milk? Yeah. And then we'd ask her every time. And she was like, what? I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. I think you've got a pretty good idea of what you did this morning. I think we know what's going on. You know what's happening here. Yeah.

And we would make, we would also, we would make our own butter and stuff. Like we'd get on the trampoline and you put it in a big jar. You take the cream and you put it in there and you shake it.

Yeah. And you had to shake it for a while. So we'd get on the trampoline and we'd take turns shaking it. It was perfectly normal back then. And now I i'm like that was yeah these things we were doing were they're insane yeah yeah growing up don't think about it and it was cool now you know looking back i thought it was a cool thing like we had the first time i noticed that like we lived out in the middle of nowhere and that like not everyone lived on a farm was when we went to

school and we had a uh field trip to our farm it was like oh they're coming here it's like yeah yeah yeah you know since you guys are like you know native are we going to y'all's parents house and then you're like like why don't we go to y'all's farm like we don't yeah we're gonna walk on our sidewalks you're like i actually would love to see what that's like i love you sidewalks what is it what's a sidewalk what's a sidewalk. What's concrete? I thought it was the coolest thing ever though. The girls got in there and I thought it was an absolute stud. I thought showing off was what I just told you,

that I could milk a gallon in a minute. And it was awesome. And that's what you did. Yeah. And the girls, when they were there, they thought it was- You were going in the neighborhood. I was just like,

this is incredible. She's not. I just did it this morning so it's not coming out I swear it's still in the two minutes and the girl's like you said a minute

and you're like two minutes is pretty good like that's really good five minutes is the average what do you think you're at now I've been working on my RPM I don't know what I'm at right now

I've been training I think you would help you with golf what would you do with the milk yeah I mean we would we would drink it and we would give it away to like our neighbors and stuff would you keep it cold yeah so you would help you with the milk yeah i mean we would drink it and we would give it away to like our neighbors and stuff would you keep it cold yeah so you would just would you ever drink it

straight you never you're asking me if i've drank from the teat is what you're trying to get out yeah yeah yeah i did that not for fun i did it as it really tastes that it's like yeah pretty different it's very different very different it's good so the most of it though you took it to a dairy no we didn't take it to a dairy we just like you would the way you would pasteurize you wouldn't pasteurize it but you would cleanse it by putting pantyhose around the jar and then you would pour it out and that's the way you separated the cream the more i talked about it the weirder it was pretty weird childhood yeah you have to go buy just a bunch of pantyhose? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I had a bunch of them. You still got them. Keep them up. These are so special. Them going to, when you start comedy, you're already planning on it. Your first one's got to be your school going to your house. Yeah. That's hilarious.

I've already thought of the name of it. I have a name for the special. Yeah. What is it? It's called The Milkman. The Milkman. It'll be good. Oh, wow. Yeah. Thought of it. I have a name for the special. It's called the Milkman. Oh, wow. I thought of it just now. They're going to be very confused whenever they hear that.

You don't deliver milk. Everybody's joking around. What is it, an hour on milking cows? Oh, yeah. What do you got? That's exactly what it is. It's a full hour. Yeah, full hour.

Cow milking. I could honestly probably talk several hours about milking because it's a very complex situation. It's not easy. Some cows hate it. So there would be cows that you would not – and do you have to get it out of them? You have to get it out or they will get – or they will become it'll disease like basically from the inside out they'll get like their milk bag will is it kill them or it can yeah they can get diseases and it's very bad so yeah i've been trying to advocate i sound like i'm here to talk about this today guys i'm really glad that you have me on here people

do rhinos people do elephants no one's no one's talked about the milk cow public service announcement so but i so if there is there milk cows in the wild or they're not just like i just picture what are they doing without us milking it you know the places that you've never been to like in wyoming yeah yeah they're just out there i mean just in herds just running milk sloshing. Are they? I don't know. You don't even know. There's not wild milk cows. That's the most ridiculous. I hope, though, somewhere in Australia, there's just wild milk cows just running.

Obviously, at some point, they were wild. The majority of cows are beef cattle, right? Yeah. I typed wild dairy queen. I don't think you want to go through that. Freudian slip right there. Did you ever say why cows wear bells? No, but the reason that they did that, so going back to back in the day,

like if a cow tried to, if there was a huge field, it's not like you can see them. Yeah. I mean, they can get out. Like we had like you know there's like 300 acres around there that they could just walk on and so when you go to like if you had your one milk cow you'd be like god i gotta go find this cow and it's like everyone had four withers back then where they're just like you know their gps where they're just finding their cow like she's in the car they could be in the back like you'd have to four bottles yes well

you'd bring them in like you would with feed oh okay but yeah it would be it was so they could find their i'm sure there's other things i but i'm pretty sure that's so some don't like it and some do like it yeah i mean they all like it once it's getting weird yeah oh no they all like it they're super they go it hurts they tell you they don't like it, but they like it. You know what I mean? Yeah, they had a – yeah. But they like it because it hurts to have that much milk. Yeah. You know, imagine just having something there.

Every day. Oh, you got to milk a cow every day? Every single day. So a cow – Sometimes twice a day. A cow has to be milked every day. Yes. Not all of them.

If they've had – if they're producing milk, then they do. Yeah. cow has to be milked every day. Yes. Not all of them. If they've had, if they're producing milk, then they do. They have to be milked every day. Are they producing all year round? Yeah. Wow. It's pretty crazy. And does someone just pour the milk in the top of them and that's how it gets to the bottom of it? And then you think, well, why don't we just get him to do it?

And they go, no, it's better to go through the cow. Yep. And you feed them milk. Yeah. That's how they they go, no, it's better to go through the cow. Yep. Well, and you feed them milk. Yeah. Wow. That's how they make it. Wow. Yeah. Actually, there's no such thing as milk cow.

They're able to hold it. It's like, why don't we just, if we feed it to them, they can hold it to us for a while. Do you have the history? The last wild cow on earth is believed to have died in Poland in 1627. I knew that. Jeffrey. His name was Jeffrey. Great guy. He's a really good guy. But there are no more wild cows in the27. I knew that. Jeffrey. His name was Jeffrey. Great guy.

He's a really good guy. But there are no more wild cows in the world. They're fully domesticated. Yeah. Pretty crazy. That's pretty weird. That's something you don't think about. But do they always have milk?

Yeah. I mean, all mammals do. Yeah, they all do. I know, but you're not milking. That's true. Female mammals. Yeah. Yeah. All mammals. do yeah they all do i know but you're not milking that's true female mammals yeah yeah all men we all do it yeah yeah yeah right we all do it right yeah yeah you guys you guys do it right

i felt so sluggish yeah i had no idea i gotta do at least twice a day or i'm just i get swole did you ever have like you milked the whole thing and then you just knock the bottle over and you're like dude there was a cow that we had that they're very smart animals like are they they are very smart i thought sometimes when they're the dumbest animals they're pretty they're dumb in some areas yeah kind of like you know it's like you it's like you know like you're a smart guy but pretty dumb in other areas. We get something like – You and I are – We could be smart, but we're pretty dumb. You see a cow standing on top of a car, and you're like, I mean, that's the dumbest animal, but how did he figure out how to get on that car?

It's also genius. Why did he get on that car? He didn't know that that's a Buick, but he's up there. Is it true that cows can walk upstairs but not downstairs? This is really making a lot of things make sense to me. I remember we were kicking around ideas for a senior prank high school, and somebody said, we bring some cows in, walk them up the stairs, then they can't come back down.

You know, that makes a lot of sense. We didn't have a ton of stairs at the farm, so I haven't tested out the theory. But I think I did hear that one time. Yeah. They have like eight stomachs. Is it seven stomachs? Eight stomachs?

Yeah. It's something crazy. Cattle are wild. They're wild animals. Not anymore. Not anymore. Not anymore. And we know that.

So what were you going to say? They were smart? Four stomachs. So yeah, they would get, like she would get annoyed that she was having to be milked. And you would get, like you have, I would milk in a pan. Betsy, come on. He was like, come on. Betsy, calm down.

I'm trying to think of the name of what her name actually was. It was Daisy. Daisy. Daisy was her name. Yeah, she was a Jersey milk cow. And you would get her in by going. She's from New Jersey? Suck, suck, suck, skiffers.

That was like the call. What was it? Yeah, I'll do it only once. No, do it one more time. You go, suck, suck, suck, skiffers. Yeah. And that's how you suck, skiff. Yeah. And that's how you'd get them in. Someone's drawing that Mooney family over there.

Like those, well, they don't go to somebody that got churches. What's that? You also show up? What's that? And you're like. That's also how we had family reunions. It was a real problem. Is that not the same as a pig?

Yeah. Pigs are a little bit different. I also don't know where these calls come from. I just know that my family did that one there was a different one for goats there is nothing more than i hope someone writes in and says that that's not the call for cows and your family made up their own call like i'm pretty sure that we did i love it if it was just like i think everyone because i feel like every farmer had their like they have their own own thing. Yeah. I know that my – at one point, we didn't – my mom bought these goats because this guy was selling them and she loved animals.

Like this was not how we made our living. My dad has a construction company. Yeah. That's like – This is like for fun. This was for a good time. My dad was not an animal lover like – so then he was later after we had 100 million of them. And so we had chickens, cows.

We had goats. We had horses. We had the whole – the gam and so we had chickens cows we had goats we had we had horses we had the whole the gamut we had geese wild animals he told us about what did he get llamas oh yeah he got uh emus emus you got emus those were aggressive and they and they killed yeah it's the whole story it's all the time yeah but she had got these 60 goats and she was like she was super excited about it and there was one that came he was the billy goat and his name was big jim yeah and if you spanked big jim it was like a thing like the guy like it's the only thing he talks about there's 60 goats there's got to be other things you need to know about these goats before my mom you know buys them and but big jim

the only thing that he told us about these goats was like don't spank him where it was like that was the first thing i was going to do. Like, I can't wait to spank that Billy goat. I can't wait for this, dude. But they were like, I think they might have done it. Like the kids or something on the farm had spanked this goat and he would chase him. And this goat is literally like the size of you and me. Like it looks like a horse.

Literally? Literally looks like, like he was bigger than me. Like if I got an off horse, yeah, he's massive. It looks like a horse. Literally? Literally looks like... He was bigger than me. If I got an off horse, yeah, he's massive. And so I would always have buddies come over. We thought it was hilarious. You'd just kind of give him a little swat, and he would chase you around until he butted you very hard and knocked you to the ground.

Wow. And it was awesome. It was almost like a heat-seeking missile where you're just like... One of your buddies is up there, you slap him and you get in cover. And it's all hell is about to break loose. You know what he likes?

He likes slapping. Just laughing at it sideways. Here's what I like to picture. What was the calling of the cow? I'd like to just, we'll play it now. It's my nose. It's sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, sook, so, your parents annoyed you because you got to go,

That was their call. You go, in goats. And 60 goats come running around this corner like it's a freaking stampede. And it was amazing to watch. I bet you get a phone call.

She's gone. She's gone. But then you look and you're like, she's so sad. So, so, so. You got to do it sad. Like whatever emotion you're in oh god

it's like what it's taking so soon you still gotta yell it still gotta yell it and goats would they come at different times like you see you're like, and goats. And then, did I say sook-sook-sook-sook?

Did I say sook-sook-sook-sook? I didn't say it. Did you hear that, Daisy? Daisy? Beat it. They would all come. We also, we had bulls. And those were, we had one named Gibraltar.

And we played with him like a pet when he was a kid. Big mistake. How? Because he got bigger. And he still wanted to play. And he was massive. Yeah. And he was a Jersey bull, which is like the number one most dangerous bull in the world. But he was cool.

He wanted to butt heads with you. Yeah. But he was, yeah, he was a sweet bull. But very, could have just unleashed hell. Because he is like a dog size when he's a baby, kind of. Yeah, yeah. They were very a baby, kind of. Yeah, yeah, they were very small.

It's like it was a, yeah, they were, yeah. And then they get, they get absolutely massive. He looked like he was a bodybuilder. Would you feel,

would some of the animals like love you? Like that you could tell that they, you know. Yeah. Did you ever have to, ever have to castrate cattle? Yeah, I didn't,

I didn't do that. My grandpa did. They had, they had like actual, like beef cattle and they did that whole deal so i'm yeah i've did it let's not talk about it i mean this podcast but that what is yeah what is that i've helped with that before it's not a great experience i mean usually you have one bull among a bunch of cows and the rest of the male calves you castrate them yeah so they can't reproduce so that means you know just yeah cut off the genitals and then you just they just do it and then they would just throw it

yeah off and one time we were doing it and a guy ducked and the other guy behind it and see it and hit him right here in the cheek and just went down his cheek i mean i had a very vivid does the bull go crazy well i mean they're holding down it's a calf yeah and they're holding them down um i think she has a grown bull he goes all right we gotta go do it and then you walk out there and you're like oh they're not little yeah you're like no dude they're they're they're riding it trying to do it i don't know if you've ever seen bull you know no it's there yeah yeah it's a procedure we're we're talking i'm trying to think of something big enough to show you nothing around i think we you know pretty dry pretty big yeah i'm talking we get a basketball we're talking watermelon size sometimes okay yeah so you can

just say that wow there's no watermelon size you just got that yeah like well excuse me i'm gonna have to carry watermelon with two hands yeah well you're not you know just like a yeah orange that you walk in with and then watermelon's like yeah you don't bring in other stuff with a watermelon you don't walk in with a watermelon and go i also have the rest of the groceries yeah yeah it's its own single trip it is it's a single trip item so we're and that's just one yeah that's one yeah maybe not each we're not we're talking about the whole how are you talking about the whole thing the whole thing okay yeah the whole walmart that's not that impressive uh what would you would y'all you have pigs we didn't have pigs pigs were disgusting and that's suey from yeah because that's arkansas's

yeah thing suey yeah my my uh cousin to. My cousin, Torrey, had pigs. His family, they had pigs. And they actually had a pig, like a full-on farm. That's what his uncle did. And it was pretty disgusting. They're eating stuff that's like, hey, the sewage backed up. It's like, don't worry about it. We'll collect it.

Then we'll feed it to the pigs. Pigs would eat anything. It was disgusting. It's like hard stuff. Like, hey, I got this baseball bat I need to get rid of like oh we got the place yeah that's like a whole thing like people like that's they hide body like they feed that's like a thing wow y'all can hide a body where y'all were growing oh yeah well we wouldn't need to hide it yeah you and i be like oh that's great yeah no it's in the open just let it. What animal on the farm is the easiest to have?

Like the least amount of work, the least – because I feel like people think they want to farm, and then they don't realize it's a full-time job. I mean, could y'all – you couldn't – what would you do for vacation? What's that? I'm just learning. Could y'all ever leave? Yeah.

We had people. You had to have people come. Not people. It was our family members. There was other people. There was other farmers around. That's worse than asking someone to move. It was.

Can you watch my farm for me for a couple days? Can you go milk 40 cows? You're like, are you serious, dude? Well, we're trying to go to King's Island in Cincinnati. We didn't go on much. But there was, it's not that. There was like one cow. We didn't have 50 cattle to.

He likes that King's Island. That was awesome. That's the most random place. We didn't want to go to vacation there. You ever been to King's Island? No. It's great. I've never even heard of it.

I don't know where King's Island is. That's the world's longest roller coaster. The King's Island does? Oh, yeah. You did it one time. The steepest or fastest? King's Island would be where you're going if you have a farm. We've stayed up for five years to go to King's Island.

You're like, all right, where is it? Bahamas or something? You're like, Cincinnati. We're driving up. Kings Island had the longest wooden roller coaster in the world, the Beast. We would go to it. I've been there. I've been to it.

I rode it. My dad, he told us if we ride it, we can get whatever we want at the thing. I bought a hat that had like and here it is safari turn the lights off where can you get this ridiculous yeah toy story hat does that look like something that you would that would have like it was right next to the aliens this week this is what uh female jason Day, all the golfers wearing.

Okay. I didn't get it from them. How'd they do this? Oh, they didn't. Yeah. Tony did good. He did wonderful. Tony did good.

The colors remind me of Toy Story. You know, when they go down there and they get the aliens out of the thing. That's the color scheme. Like that might even be on a kid's bed. He got it from a claw machine. Yeah. Just like that. That looks about like that. Yeah.

I love it. Clearly. What is under the underneath belly real quick? What's, it's got an interesting divot. You know what I mean? Have you noticed it? No, no. It's two tier.

Is this what your Uncle Terry looked like? Before he grew. Yeah. Turns out it was just the hat that he was wearing. Y'all are going to see, I'm going to grow one day. That looks like, what's his name from Andy Griffith. It just flipped up. That looks like Elmer.

Y'all laugh now, but I'm going to grow one day. That hat looked like the sun was like, he needed it in his eyes. Like, what'd you guys say? So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so in his eyes like what'd you guys say then you have to do that in the middle of the would you ever just wake up and he'd be like to that noise yeah you just hear your dad outside you're just dead asleep at 5 30 my dad did not take care of the animals so he would never it was my mom yeah i don't think he knew he i think he's just finding out that we had a farm yeah and cattle he's like that's what you guys was this? Where'd you guys grow up at? That's what his dad asked.

Where was that? Where'd you guys – what does that mean? Was it – were you having to, like, do all this stuff? I mean, what age are you like, I don't want to do this anymore? I mean, I didn't like getting up at 5.30. I'll tell you that. I hated that because then you had to drive an hour, and I had basketball practice, like, school yeah so you give it 5 30 just to go to school not to do the well

that was just to milk so we could get everything done yeah so it was yeah it was cool though especially looking back now i was literally like it was paradise being out there but growing up in it you just think i gotta get out of here yeah just like there's no there's nothing going on around here but i mean like you were i'm saying like how old were you when you're is it, you just think, I got to get out of here. Yeah. It's just like there's nothing going on around here. But I mean, I'm saying, how old were you when you're – is it like you get 12, 13, you're like, Mom, I don't want to milk these cows anymore. I had no option because my sisters were like – when they went to college, I was still in like 10th, 11th, probably actually probably 9th grade. So there was no one there.

I thought you were my sister in. I basically had to do it. I thought you were my sister in college. I mean, I was a senior in high school about to go to college. I'm like, how did you know? I was in third grade. And that's when I was born. So I started to pick up the slack. But I had to do it.

There was nobody else there. I mean, my mom did a lot of it. She had like a farm hand that would help us. Yeah, you have to. Yeah, you have to yeah you have to yeah yeah chicken to go back to your question though your original question of what's the easiest to have i'd probably say chickens are pretty chickens are great like they're just a we i mean she had a lot at one point where i was like but we would we would eat the eggs and like you know we would actually use it yeah and i love eggs it was like a you know, we would actually use it. Yeah. And I love eggs. It was like a,

you know, there's nothing like a farm, but then, fresh egg. Yes. But then with chickens, you get the stuff that wants to get those chickens. You do.

And then that's, varmints. Yeah. Varmints. Snakes, y'all going, you'd go walk in there, just snake being eggs.

A lot of snakes. A lot of snakes. Would get eggs. I mean, there is actually recently, I went to visit my parents in arkansas and i was we had taken our bus down there my dad put like shore power at the farm and we parked it down there and i get a call from my mom at like 11 o'clock but she doesn't stay up that late anyway so i thought honestly someone was like i thought someone had saw our

bus you're staying there i'm on we're on the bus like my kids are on there and hannah and i was just like she calls me and she's like she was like shea she asked me this first of all i don't have a it's not like i did not have a gun yeah she asked the first thing she asked like it was just like we're going into where she goes do you have your gun like i had like i have a gun on me at all times like yeah i got it right here if you're on a farm you gotta have a gun for sure yeah but it. Yeah, I got it right here. If you're on a farm, you got to have a gun. For sure. Yeah. But I was sitting there, but she's, do you have your gun? And I was like, mom, you know for a fact I don't. So I'm like, I run out here.

I think there's intruders. And I'm like, there's people out here. And I'm like on full dad mode of like, I'm going to have to murder at least 55 people. There's been an occurrence. And there's people raiding. We don't know what's going on. It might be aliens. No idea what's going on. I get in there. Mom was, she was like, she's sitting there and she's holding, she was like, there's a snake in here.

And I was like, you should have told me that before. I thought my whole family was about to die and some sort of an absolute tragedy. So I go in there, there's a snake. It's like probably eight feet long, but it had fallen from the rafter, which happens a lot. They'd be like going – they'd get up in the rafters of the barn. And these things are like nine to ten feet tall sometimes or long. Huge black snakes. And they'll just like – called them chicken snakes is usually what they call them because they're usually the ones who try to get in there with the – you know,

and get the eggs. And it was just massive. And it's dark. There's no lights on there. And I have literally yeah yeah there there they are right there that's exactly what they what they look like they're massive yeah and so a lot of times you see that picture up there with the uh what looks like probably a dominica chicken i think is what that's called this one yeah or it's a no anyways the snakes

would get up in there they'd wrap around like they'd get in there with the chicken and the chicken doesn't really know what to do it's not like they can just like peck them to death like they're fully they're like this is my life now the snakes in here with me and so the way you go gather eggs is you literally and when they're sitting on them they don't like you to touch them anyway like the hens yeah so you got to go in there sometimes they'll peck you and you got to like you know you get the eggs out or whatever and like so i there's been times where i've reached in there and there's a snake in there yeah which is a terrifying experience oh it's horrible i've stepped on a barefoot underneath yeah you reach in there and it's dark you know we didn't have lights so you'd

get in there and you grab them and you just feel snake and you're just like okay i'm gonna try not to panic and it was yeah it was god but yeah we we had to we had to get that snake out i had to had to get it out of there for her and it was terrifying she was trying to hold it down and it had like it looks like it had eaten like a hundred eggs it has this huge thing in the middle of it it either ate an actual chicken yeah or it just had eggs in it and so she and then at one point she goes i lost him and i was like oh my god it's dark she has her phone light she's trying to like do this and this snake is like eight feet long and it's dark she has her phone light she's trying to like do this and this snake is like eight feet long

and it's like running around the side and I'm sitting there trying to catch it and get it out of the barn but yeah we got it we got it

the extermination we just we took him out to the to the side we let him live he's we took him to the

neighbor's farm yeah yeah we don't like him just put him in there that's the hard part how often do they lay eggs how much can a chicken lay i mean it's it can be if you have a bunch of chickens

there's i mean there's eggs every day yeah but there has yeah it's i don't remember anymore i know we always had eggs every morning we'd go and gather eggs so any chickens ever like not again like it just you know the first time it happens like she goes weird i lost all my children the other day we're we're having another one so i hope oh god it's happening again just every day it's the saddest day ever for a chicken yeah that's why they walk they don't say much yeah you know they're just like, here we go. Living a pretty tough life. Yeah. Depression among chickens is not good.

It's through the roof. It's through the roof. The roof. Yeah. What is it called? What is it? A coop. It's through the coop.

Through the coop. Yeah, it's through the coop. Through the coop. Some more Arkansas stuff. Yeah. You know what the biggest employer in Arkansas is? Walmart. Walmart, got to be. All right. I i was gonna guess walmart and i thought you were gonna throw jb hunt in there yeah for some reason oh yeah walmart's the biggest employer in the world really 2.3 million employees they're doing good they might think it's gonna work employed more

people than that well according to i guess that's a lot of 2.3. That's a lot of people working there. There's 8 billion people. Yeah. You would think that, I bet Amazon is going to end up being more than that. But they have so much technology. You just think, hey, there's 8 billion people. Are there that many different jobs? That only 2.3 million of the 8 billion people work for one company. Amazon. Actually, that makes me happy, to be honest. Yeah, that it's that few.

Yeah, if you had told me... 575,000, that's it? Amazon, half a million employees. Wow, significantly more. Walmart has significantly more. Amazon's going to go buy that. But they're also like, it's a lot of technology. Yeah, since 2018 when that stat came out, they've more than doubled.

1.3 million. Amazon. Amazon. Amazon does? Yeah. So they're crushing it, but Walmart's still up there, man. So Walmart's the world's biggest family-owned business. It's the largest privately employed workforce. Just a mom and pop.

Mom and pop shop. That's a joke about it. Mom and pop shop. Why would you get mad at them? But it's just like but it's what you strive for yeah which is it's it's a you know it's kind of uh double-edged sword like i do root for you root for that business you root for that person to be like you should be able to get as big as you want but then they also become so dominant that it's a

problem yeah it's like music where it's like the indie stuff yeah when people become super successful they're like oh like they sold out it was like that yeah yeah's like the indie stuff yeah when people become super successful they're like oh like they sold out Metallica was like that yeah yeah there's a lot of people

who don't like it because like you sold out yeah yeah but you guys agreed to sell out pretty early but you guys did it early I'm just reading this

quote here from rolling stuff yeah Susukui magazine yeah it's a magazine.

Wait, what are you talking about? You're so much older. We're both at the same point of our career. Like, we're both, here's the deal. I feel like if someone was like, guessing who's older,

you or Nate, I feel like that would be a harder, like, why? Because I feel like I look old. Yeah. Well, I could look anywhere.

I'm going to look like this for a long time. And you're kind of the similar situation. I know, but I, like, if you dyed your beard, people, there would be no indication of how old you are.

Yeah. Nate's reverse aging. He yeah it's uh if i told someone i was 45 they'd like sounds right that sounds about bill bob thorpe was born in august by the way it's like not even close same birthday though i guess that story i've been telling for the last 10 years every time it comes up yeah i think Billy Bob's birthday? Yeah, I think we have the same birthday. We share a birthday. What is his birthday? August 4th. You better get him something. My sister's birthday is August 5th, so it's the same.

When was time introduced in Arkansas? 19. Well, we call it the 50s because we didn't keep track before that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just found out a couple years ago that the 40s, 30s, and 20s happened. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know. Who knows?

No one knows. No one knows. In Arkansas, no one knows. Get up when the sun comes up. Yeah. Go to bed when it goes down. That's right. Yeah. The winters are pretty short days.

Daylight saving time. Y'all really love it. Yeah, it's nice. Does that matter for you as farmers? Would you ever know that? It would if we were making our living sowing the fields. Why does that matter for farmers? It's for for more

sunlight oh basically so why don't they just keep it it doesn't make any sense we've all been talking i don't think the farmers want it i don't know who wants it yeah i don't think anyone's been like we got to protect this daylight savings time do uh y'all talk about daily savings a lot in the farming community you know we'd talk more than, we'd have our daily savings time weekly meeting. Yeah. Yeah. More than people think, which maybe not as much

as people want. Yeah. And we had to do that. There was a call for that as well because we didn't keep time. So it was, you know,

we had to do that. And they'd be like, oh, we know it's a Tuesday. He does it. Yeah. He goes, good afternoon,

everybody. And they go, what are you talking about? It's 11 in the morning. He has no reason no way he could know that yeah

some movies shot in Arkansas Sling Blade probably the most popular convenient yep for Billy Bob

yeah really worked out oh yeah yeah he's from there you know he was born on my birthday yeah did I mention I had

a short term memory loss did you guys talk yeah do you ever were you old enough to remember when Clinton was president? Yeah. Yeah.

He goes, dropped my head like, yeah. No, I remember. Yeah, I was there. So he was president when you were born? Now, like, probably after you were born. Yeah, he was, I mean, I was born in 91. And he was president like 90, yeah. You don't remember at all.

I do remember. But he was president until 2000. Yeah, he was, yeah. You don't remember at all. I do remember. But he was president until 2000. Yeah, he was, yeah. I don't remember when he got elected. So you were born in 91? Yeah. So you were nine. I think he was, yeah.

So you were barely. Barely. I was doing pretty good, though. You were doing pretty good. I was smarter back then. You're always like, yeah, of course, dude. That's crazy. I watched a lot of old movies.

Here's the thing about- You were maybe eight months old when you were born. Here's the thing about Arkansas. You were already having to milk cows at eight months old. 100%. I was born in there with them. They're like, we want you to be around them. You're going to be with them quite a bit.

But we had to like, in Arkansas, you got everything later than everyone else. Oh, really? So like my TV shows that I love, like Andy Griffith is my favorite show. And I found out like at maybe 15 years old that those weren't current shows. That happened to me, too. I mean, it was kind of devastating. It has nothing to do with Arkansas. I was like, I can't wait to fulfill my dream of meeting Andy Griffith.

This is going to be awesome. And he was like 80 by the time that I got to. And then I discovered Batlock, and I was like, this is the same guy? Yeah. He was like 70 is the same guy yeah it was like he was like he was like you know 70 in that show I thought the same thing with Andy Griffith

because it was always it was black and white and I just never thought that it was like we talked about here that it came out in the 40s or something

50s 60s yeah that's crazy I thought it was maybe like 50s it's still one of the best shows of all time it's unbelievable

that would be is that how you grew up that's how we would picture it yes yeah that's exactly andy griffith is that's pretty much just so people at home could listen they're trying to wrap their head around it yeah it's pretty much mayberry it's mayberry it's mayberry but there's like you know everybody yeah you knew everyone and it was i mean out of 511 people i don't think i've ever seen 50 of them yeah we always wondered about that of like did they make that up what is your town is it like uh so it's we juggle a restaurant like you have a downtown square or anything no no no you probably saw that little uh the little uh post office yeah that's the center of town yeah

the natural dam that i showed you that is is like where people come from all over and go to that. It's a pretty famous place to live. What did you say that arena was? That one, and that's a pretty new arena. They built that in like 2008 or 2009 or maybe even later than that. But I mean, how do they build an arena in such a small town? And it's not that big. When you think like a rodeo arena like it's not oh it's a rodeo you wouldn't it's not like it's bridgestone yeah like it holds like maybe 600 people that's

definitely it's pretty small we don't have to be talking about as much as we are talking about like it's we keep going back to it it's not a place i'll be going to do a concert yeah so what is that like you're like it's an outdoor pavilion man i don't know it's not famous place I'll be going to do a concert in. Yeah, so what is that? It's an outdoor pavilion, man. I don't know. It's not famous enough for it to be an interesting point. Who books it? I think that a lot of people that live- Have you done a show there?

No. In town? No, I have not. At Heroes Arena? No, no. What if you went back and did one for Heroes Arena? Maybe I should. I'd be the hero of that arena.

I mean, would you, is there, where would you have grown up going to concerts? That was not a thing. We didn't like – You didn't. What was the first concert you ever went to? I went to a concert. It was in Little Rock. It was like the closest – that's like four hours away.

Oh, really? Yeah. So in Fort Smith, they would have some things with like little stuff. We got skillet one time at my high school, which was a huge deal. And that was like maybe – I think it held like 1,600. Y'all cooked on the skillet. It was a cooking show. that was like you know maybe I think it held like 1600 y'all cooked on the skillet it was a cooking show

yeah couldn't believe it yeah couldn't believe it but they came through there why is this food hot what's happening so you got the band they taught us about

popcorn there y'all would have to drive to Little Rock for like a big concert for a big concert or Oklahoma City which we never did like it was just not something we did yeah and so like the first like i went and saw a couple concerts in like little rock but it was not a thing that we like concerts just weren't a thing that i did when i really grew up until i got a little older

where i was like i found out it was a thing really i mean our performances were like at churches and what was the first concert you went to I can't remember I know that I went to I listened I grew up listened to a lot of like Christian gospel

and it was Casting Crowns was one of the first ones yeah arena shows that I saw yeah and then I did see

Rascal Flats and I thought that was like I was like this is the biggest that was the the perspective I had growing up like the bands I listened to were like a lot of Christian rock and like I was like oh my this is the biggest that was the the perspective I had growing up like the bands I listened to

were like a lot of Christian rock and like I listened to R&B and stuff but I had no perspective like I thought Reliant K was the biggest band in the world

and I was like yeah they're they're absolutely massive and they were big ish in our world but in your world and you

y'all did a bunch of church shows right and I remember talking to your dad about wasn't it you won a lot at these. Yeah, well, we did this thing called the Fine Arts Festival, which I'm pretty sure that the Jonas Brothers also did. I think I talked to Nick about this. I think that they did it as well, like a long time ago.

They grew up in church. I think their dad was actually maybe an Assembly of God pastor. I know he was a pastor, but I think he was actually maybe an assembly of god pastor i know he was a pastor but i think he was like my grandpa was a pastor but we grew up doing this thing called the fine arts festival and so like you would go and you would do that like a you do it at the state level and you would get like a score and if you did that you got to go to nationals which was always usually in a different big city like the year that i won it was in florida but they had these big like it's churches

from all over the country and so you do this thing and if you win you get like a scholarship it's like a big like a music full ride to go to college kind of thing and so i'd won it in like 2009 i think and it was like i thought it was huge there's probably 10 000 people and that was like my biggest oh they know there that was that i performed for and i was like this is the biggest what's a pretty big thing big yeah nationally to win you were you were the you won it yeah i won it 2009 national oh wow there it is we found it it would have been in a male solo or uh yeah something like that uh you know what i bet vocal solo male yeah Something like that You know what I bet if you

Vocal solo male Yeah Joseph Adams Actually Shea Eighth place Could have done it Is this just a list Of all the people

Who did it Yeah Might be I don't know There I am Shea Mooney Simply a god Cedarville, Arkansas

Superior with honors Wow Wow Presents Cedarville I wonder what Cole Miller's done He also got Let's look up Cole Miller Cole if you're listening See what old Cole's up to He also got... Let's look up Cole Miller.

Cole, if you're listening to that. See what old Cole's up to. He's a huge Nate Land fan. He's just finding out that I'm the same guy that beat him. He's like, that son of a gun, dude. That's cool. So I bet if you could track a lot of entertainers, I bet they go back to someone's a pastor in that family.

Yeah. When you really think about it. Because it's kind of... It is crazy. Because they're performing and they're talking and they're having to do this. But I think Chris Rock's dad or grandfather was a pastor. And I bet you could trace some stuff back to some pastors. Because you think a lot of times when someone does something like this there's usually there's

something that's kind of like made it so maybe it's just the stage of like just that position of being on stage of that being like i want to do you want to be on stage yes i think that's the yeah probably the main draw at the beginning of just like, I want to be on that side of it. And I feel like it always feels natural. I don't know if it was like this for you too, but it was when you're on stage, and maybe it's just like, maybe it's a selfish thing of just like, I like to be on this side of it and be the person performing, just because that's your personality.

But I feel like there's a, you either know, like when you're on stage, you kind of know, like this is, I'm supposed to be on this side yeah i well it depends on you so you i mean you grew up on the stage with singing a church so you were really really on the stage a lot yeah i mean i get it when i was probably literally three years old i remember going this was before we moved across or down the street and i mean i said down the street it's 100 yards away from that church but to the right there was another like tiny church and there's a you know the parsonages like it's basically where the pastor and like their wife like live they built a little house it was right next door and that's that's where my buddy actually i've lived in one of those yeah they're great they're great yeah if you can find a person for sale i think they're pretty good

yeah they're fine and. They're fine. But anyways, I remember going up on stage when I was like three. I have a lot of memories of this, going up. My dad would play steel guitar, and he played bass, and my mom would play piano. So I would just go up on the stage, and I got a guitar that had maybe five strings, and it was not tuned. And I would sit there with my ear against the guitar, and I'd just be rocking

for like a good you know hour yeah of us thinking me thinking i was nailing it could they see when did you start singing and they were like oh just in all those competitions you're winning them it was early i mean it was like yeah by the time i was like you know four like we had this thing called the booster band we'd come up there and You were already in. And I'd go up there. It was just literally before worship started. We had the Booster Band. We'd do songs like Father Abraham. Yeah.

You know that one? Father Abraham and many sons. And you'd do the whole, you'd spin around. We can't. YouTube will shut us off. We can't talk about this no more. Don't sing the whole song. Don't sing the whole one.

We don't have the rights to it. But that's, I would always, like, perform. Then we started doing, like, where me and my sisters would sing together. And then we started like singing at church. And we were just always like the singing Moonies. Like that was it. My mom tried to name us one time. She was like, guys, I think I have this great idea.

What about Moonsong? And I was like, mom, I don't think you ever need to think. You don't need to be the name person. I don't think you need that to think. You don't need to be the name person. I don't think you need that response. Well, it's funny. When you started, a lot of people don't know, you first signed with T-Pain. Yeah. So he was first out with T-Pain, heard you on YouTube?

Yeah, it was on YouTube. Yeah. And then you went on the road with T-Pain. Yeah. Basically lived with him for a while. It was great. He was a big country music fan. Is he really?

Yeah. He was such a super talented guy. Yeah. And it was, yeah. That was a whole- T-Pain, Chris Brown was on this tour? Some of the craziest, yeah, some of the craziest stuff. Yeah.

That's about all we can- No, it was awesome. It was great. I had never been outside of my little world, really. And so I was just kind of experiencing life. It was in Atlanta? Atlanta, yeah. So you'd go to Atlanta and you'd just stay at his house?

Yeah, I had an apartment, but his studio was there. So we'd just be there every single day. And were you making your own? You were kind of solo at that point. Me and T-Pain were in a duo would you yeah would you open for him or anything or no we did some stuff but it wasn't like it wasn't a time where he was really touring yet he was in the beginning when i first uh did that when i first met him was on the road and we did that in memphis and but yeah it was uh i was there for a year and a half or something like that before i started, or I started coming to Nashville pretty immediately, but I was coming back

and forth like four and a half hours from Nashville and Atlanta. Like so broke, so broke. Does he see you? Do you ever talk to him now? A little bit. A little bit. Yeah. Yeah.

We stay in touch a little bit. Yeah. He just sees it now. I mean, he sees it now and he's like, yeah, that's what I saw. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, he took a chance at the beginning and I, yeah, there it now and he's like yeah that's what I saw yeah yeah I mean yeah he took a chance

at the beginning and yeah there's no no hard feelings so you T-Pain Chris Brown do you think

that's a different vibe on the tour bus than the three of us you think a little bit different I think it's very similar yeah similar interests who do you think too

yeah cause I'd go to bed I'd love to play this game at 30 I would say Who's Chris Brown? Who's Chris Brown? Who's T-Pain?

Who's Jay Mooney? Who's me? I'd say Brian You'd have to be me I'd say Yeah That's probably Chris Brown Yeah

Yeah that's what you think Does Chris Brown have a CPAP? I don't know who would be funnier As Chris Brown I don't know if you'd be funnier As T-Pain CPAP opens up For Chris Brown have a CPAP? I don't know who would be funnier as Chris Brown. I don't know if you'd be funnier as T-Pain. CPAP opens up for Chris Brown. That's my rap name. That's his rap name.

CPAP. C-PAP, dude. First line, can I get a plug? Can I get a plug? Can I have an outlet? CPAP. CPAP. LowAP. Low battery. Low battery. Get the flow

going. Turn my airflow up real quick. Turn my airflow up real fast. Get the humidity down a little bit. Here we go. See, you know the CPAP. I know all the terms. Is the air condition going too low? Who's throat-titchy, everybody?

Who's throat-titchy? It's only about a 10 minute performance but it's got a lot of content in there yeah I don't know I don't

know I think yeah you'd be me yeah you could be Chris Brown and we got T-Pain over here I'll take it

I used to do that like the auto tune with my chest yeah it's pretty good that did sound amazing. It's going.

It's Nate Lynn. So that's the whole thing. I'm super talented. That's my only talent. But yeah. He's super talented. Like, oh, is he a singer? Like, kind of.

I don't know. It's annoying, to be honest. But when you first hear it, it's amazing. Like, that's the thing. Can he sing without doing that? that no you can't no it's just look at it he takes his shirt off and you're like god dude your chest is he's really bruised yeah yeah i used to have a pretty big chest it's all muscles but it's just dead and then like god you got a real problem there what's the uh hardest song to sing? Is it the... He liked... Aaron's a big fan of that. Big fan of that. I'm going to start sending him voice memos.

Exclusively. Have you heard his Alex Jones? No. You don't want to do it? No. It's pretty solid. No, it's not as good as that. That'll really get us taken off of YouTube.

What's the hardest song? The hardest song to sing? Is it the National Anthem? Is it $2,000? As far as just the hardest can't I can't bring myself to sing that song yeah I'd say the national anthem

is always a we don't do it like just period you always hear that that note is really hard and it's not like I don't to me

it's not hard for me to sing it but it is my greatest fear is like forgetting lyrics I don't care if we forget one of our songs

I've done that you know if you just the crowd knows them. You just go, we're going to drink tequila. Yeah, and you're just like, oh, they got it. You could do that during the national anthem too, though. You could.

You just got to. You could. All right. But you got to commit to it. Because you're just like, that would be incredible. I'm just like, you guys know this one, right? Yeah. But that's the most terrifying song to sing.

Because you just are expected to know it. It's a thing that there's no winning by doing the national anthem. It's a good point. It's no winning. You can only not mess it up. It's the most judged musical performance ever. No one's doing it. But your winning is powerful.

We did a thing like Whitney Houston did it. You have to be Whitney Houston. But you have a voice like Whitney Houston. I am Whitney Houston. Do you think you'd get backlash if you did it auto-tune though? If you did the chest. We're about to find out. Cue the track.

Yeah. It's just you can do well. Is the note hard to hit or something? No, it's – I thought I heard that. Yeah, I mean it gets high. Where you screw yourself is if you start it too high. Oh.

Because people do that. That's why you'll see some people if they're not doing it to music and they'll have it like in their in-ears. It's like we have it. We've done it before. You play why you'll see some people, if they're not doing it to music and they'll have it like in their in-ears, it's like, we have it. We've done it before. Like you play it, like it's in your in-ears. Like before it starts, it goes, and it gives you the key or piano note and then three, four, and then you just, you do it off of click after that.

But it's, it's terrifying because you might forget the words, which like the whole country, it's not like a song that people are like, oh, yeah, I think I've heard that one. Everyone knows it. It's not like, oh, I think he said the wrong words, but maybe I was wrong. They know it's wrong. It's the most known song that you could possibly – I thought it was an eagle. It's a hawk?

That's wild. I thought it was an eagle. There's no winning, though. You've seen people – I mean, watch – the only thing that you can watch is people like the fray did it one time and just royally screwed it up and it's amazingly hilarious yeah i think it was the fray if it wasn't the fray sorry the fray uh but it was but it's something like that i'm pretty sure it was the fray and they always thought it was a note the note was like people can't do that note or something like i mean it's a tough note to say what's is what's

the highest note in a song like do you i mean that's loaded in a what's the highest note in a song like do you I mean that's loaded quite in a what's the highest note in a song music where I don't I said I don't but I mean what song has a high like that's like people there's crazy what are you what song are you amazed by that's a famous song where you're like I can't believe they sing that high is Whitney Houston yeah she's the one that sings the highest yeah I mean it's it's one of those things too it depends on whether i'm like a male or a female like whitney houston's gonna sing like it's gonna sound different like if i try if i hit a really high note and it's at the top of your register

you just have to look at your like range of like what a high note really is because it's like it's gonna be impressive for someone who's like sings down here like an alan jackson if they hit a high c is ridiculous yeah if i hit a high C, it's ridiculous. If I hit it, it's like, yeah, he sings like a girl. So he can hit it pretty easily. So it's kind of just a hit. Did he hit that high C? You had a lady up there?

Yeah, of course she did. Oh, the woman singing that, Dan? She hit it. Yeah, she hit it. She basically lives up there. Have you never seen her house? It's up in C-Town. Next to CPAP. Yeah, next to CPAP.

They're doing well up there together but i don't know what the there's some high notes that that can be hit the craziest stuff is like the whistle notes whistle tones that like ariana grande and mariah carey does his whistle so it's like they'll sing their highest note like chest voice and you know what a falsetto is like ah it's not like a full voice it's like a falsetto yeah then above that you can they some people have this head voice that is like a whistle tone yeah it's literally like it's so it's it's an octave above your highest note it's crazy to hear it's not very enjoyable to me to hear it but it's up there it's little for just like moments it's really cool for moments like mariah carey stuff ever see Mariah Carey do the national anthem at one of the Super Bowls?

She does that. Yes. The last note. It hits it and everyone's like, whoa. She hits it for like two seconds. Yes. That's all you want. And it's pretty incredible.

Yeah. Yeah. Because people just can't get there. Can you get there? Nate, I'm there right now. Yeah. I'm singing so high that you haven't heard it. It's way out of your reach.

The dog whistle. Yeah, it's the dog whistle. Are you getting into dog whistles? I'm getting into dog tones. That's my new kind of thing. You should say, I'm so high. That'd be a great way to start out. I'm so high, and then that's going to be a clip for right there.

I'm so high that it's, you know, there it is. What's some ending? Oh, we've got some got some good Arkansas is the only state where diamonds are actively discovered and mined that's pretty exciting that's why y'all had a farm yes because y'all just thought one day you're gonna stumble on yeah have you ever been to the crater of diamond state park yes I have yeah and my my wife loves it she likes to go like she's she wanted to be an archaeologist growing up. That was her thing.

She would go there. I don't know if it was that specific state park. We'll put pictures of your wife up. It would be unbelievable. She's down there. It's like, no, you're going to see her. She's there every day. I mean, tell us what's going on at this park.

You see that house right there? Yeah. Yeah, that's where we live. Well, you pay to go there, and then any diamonds you find, you get to keep. You can keep Yeah. Yeah, that's where we live. Well, you pay to... That wasn't there. You pay to go there, and then any diamonds you find, you get to keep. You can keep them. Oh, really? If y'all saw a family walking into that house, would y'all yell new money at them?

What's crazy is that you go underneath, there's a whole house under there. Yeah. That's just the... So they're like, ah, we don't want to go in this crappy little house. I'd love to know if someone lived there. They're just like, God, this was a great deal, but hell. Yeah, there's people in my yard all the time. Yeah, this is incredible.

Well, I don't even have a yard. I got dirt. Yeah, I'll have to do some weed eating. There's just a guy in there with just a gun in there. He's like, if they find one, he's like, they're going to regret it. Somebody just gets a big haul, just, there he is. Wow. That guy looks like he might be holding some sort of weapon there on the left. I mean, it they're going to regret it. Somebody just gets a big haul, just, there he is. Wow. That guy looks like

he might be holding some sort of weapon there on the left. I mean, it's so funny to go look for diamonds. You're like, where are you digging?

You know where everybody else digs the same all the time. It's not like a new hole. You're just like, yeah, there's been 5,000 visitors this week.

I think we are going to be the ones. Some guy just back in September found one of the biggest ones ever. Yeah, it was massive. How big was it? It was like nine carats or something. Nine carats. ever. Yeah, it was massive. How big was it?

It was like nine carats or something. Nine carats. There? Yeah. Oh, wow. How crazy is that worth? At least 100 grand. Yeah, I think it was about 100 grand, they said.

I made that up and I nailed it. I thought it'd be a lot more. The three largest diamonds ever found in America were found in Arkansas. Is it worth, like, that's a lot. That guy right there, yeah, he found a nine carat. Is nine carats enough to spend your life? He looks pretty happy with himself. He looks like...

He said he almost... He brought the Razorback out. So I guess you take the rocks to the check-in station, and then they tell you if they're worth anything. He said he almost didn't even show that one because he thought it was nothing. They called him in the back office and said, you found the second largest one we've ever had.

I mean, that's the second largest one? I guess I just don't know a lot about diamonds. That looks like nothing. If you told me that guy was your brother-in-law, I'd believe it. He looks like maybe a mixture between both of you guys. That looks like both of you. The fact that you guys aren't laughing, I guess that means it's insult.

No, it's great. It's great. It's not an insult. It's just very... If I saw y'all walk up together... Like, would that be worth it? I wish it was. To go find that little of a dime.

A hundred grand is a lot of money. But... Yes, it would be... Yeah, it'd be worth it for sure. It'd be worth it. How long do you think that guy was there? Ten minutes. Well, yeah, that guy,

he said ten minutes. No, he was there 10 minutes what yeah that guy he he said 10 minutes no he was there one for i think it's like a tourist yeah yeah you just go you're just going to do it yeah yeah i mean you're you're now you don't even care you're doing yeah like oh it's just 100 grand you still got i would do it i would do it for i'd do it for 500 i'd be stoked but it seems like people commit their entire lives. That's what I never get about the treasure hunting shows. Yeah. Where it's like, when I hear about treasure, it's like, you better be getting millions of dollars. Because they're spending a lot of money to be there.

And then they find this gold. And it's like, yeah, we're going to be able to make it to the next season because we found this gold. Yeah. They're not finding this massive home. You think it's going to be like $30 million. And then like, or even a million or even 500 grand. But like,

it's most of the time it's like, this is awesome. It's like eight grand. And it's like, that's a lot of money, but you've also been, you've also spent a hundred to get here this year. And it's yeah.

Why didn't you save the hundred? Yeah. For the most part, even like the big ones, they just find, yeah, you could have just not we like this guy don't you sorry yeah this guy's good what's his name he looks like a

brian a little bit i think it's gary and canard carl maybe carl canard carl canard carl canard this guy didn't want anyone coming after his diamond is what it was. Like, what's your name? Carl Canard. Carl Carl. He's like, don't you be coming after this diamond, all right? He's like, that's not even his.

He's shaved right before this. He didn't want anyone to recognize him. He's like, now that I got money, I don't need to be recognized. He's a Missouri fan. He got that hog hat out of the gift shop. Shaved right before. Were you a hog fan? I am.

I'm a huge Razorback fan. So did you like, Darren McFadden was probably in your childhood? Darren McFadden was, yeah, that was like, incredible.

Like, coming into Natural Dam. And I don't think he ever went there. And it wasn't like, he never built a house or anything. And it also, 200 acres there is like, at that time, it was probably like $30,000. It was pretty cheap. It's going up after this podcast. It is is it's going up right yeah a lot the world's first cheese dip was invented in hot springs arkansas we're talking to this day the world cheese dip championship is held in little rock each year that might explain why i have a real issue yeah that's how john daly

you want to talk to you? How many workers do you guys have? Yeah. It's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. john daly's guy i i would i would argue that he is maybe the he's up there man i mean i know you if you're into golf you think no but you gotta think people that don't know nothing about golf they all before i got obsessed with golf and it wasn't just because he was from arkansas i knew who john daly was and who tiger woods was obviously knew tiger was but that was and who Tiger Woods was obviously

knew who Tiger was but that was I didn't know Phil Mickelson going I feel like Phil Mickelson has become more famous in the last

three or four years he really had a resurgence because people almost they got to know his comedian Justin Thomas Justin Rose you've heard of Justin Rose

yeah he was leading the Masters he was just because he was blood away trying to think of someone but when I was growing up watching golf with my uncles and stuff it was all the Masters. He was. He just blown away. Yeah. Trying to think of someone to – But when I was growing up watching golf with my uncles and stuff,

I feel like it was always Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. It was. For a long time. Phil got fame. I feel like Phil was like – he benefited off of – Of course, he's unbelievable, but you know what I mean? That rivalry right there was like he was the – not the villain, but he was the –

Yeah. Yeah. It was. right there was like he was the not the villain but he was the yeah you know yeah yeah uh it was john daly just kind of you got to think of all the people that don't watch golf know who he is well and the people that watch golf all know him everyone that watches golf everybody that watches golf or even someone aware of golf knows phil mickelson they definitely know john daly no one's going to want who's john daly so you got all those people everybody that would know them yeah and now you gotta look at the people that know nothing about golf well and you're thinking the people who know jack nicholas
