Hello folks, welcome to Nate Land. I'm Nate Bargetzi, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber. Welcome
everybody. Got my fantasy draft tonight. Fantasy draft tonight, longest running, right? It's
been going 26 years. 26 years.
26 years for the internet.
Do you know that?
We've talked about that on here.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just crazy to hear that out loud.
26 years you've been doing this.
We, I'm in a.
Have you won it ever?
Yeah.
Okay.
A couple people died.
They, has anybody died?
Yeah. It's one of those. Our very first yeah oh my bless his heart yeah it's uh yeah it's one of those things that you're like it's a different group now
uh i like the ones that are like that where you guys i'm i'm in a uh with ronnie bargetti my
cousin uh we're in a golf fantasy and they've been doing it this is my first year
doing it but they've been doing it for 30 so everybody in it's my Ronnie's age you're all
like in their 70s and so everybody's been doing it for uh they're like 30 something years and uh
it's great because you just do one draft and then you don't do anything else and then he just
tallies up the score yeah and so it's pretty fun. Cause it's like, I was supposed to do one this year and I said,
no,
I just,
it's too much.
I get that.
Like I would have done,
like I was in one a long time ago with some friends,
Michael,
Clay,
who we moved,
started comedy with.
And like,
I liked it.
I was like,
you know,
we knew everybody.
I enjoyed it.
Cause it was like close.
And then it started getting a little spread out where you kind of be in it.
And you're like,
I don't even know.
I know like three of the people.
And then you're just like,
I just have no,
I don't have the time to pay attention to it.
Uh,
and it's just a lot,
but I get doing one like that,
but you were almost kicked out of it.
Yeah,
I was when I,
it's a,
my former,
uh,
job. You look at him when you
you know when i i throw i say the question to you and you go to him like he's i know
well because you know the you know what talk show like well is that how that works when they do it
and they go like brian uh you were once kicked out of go ahead go ahead it's like craver yeah
i'll ask the question yeah the exact same question So you and Elaine dated
Yeah
No because you know
What I'm talking about
So I'm telling him
I didn't know
When I worked the TV station
That's where we started
The Fantasy League draft
And then when I left there
Six years ago
They were almost
Going to kick me out
But
You talked your way in
He teamed up
With someone that stayed
Now that guy leaves
They're in big trouble.
Yeah.
Listen, I'm already 22 years into this, man.
The guy you're with is the Emmy story, right?
Yeah.
We told that on here.
My favorite story.
Yep.
The guy won Emmy.
He had two chances, and then the other two people tied,
and the other two people won.
And he was the only one that lost.
I forgot about that.
Out of the three people nominated, he was the only one that lost. The other two guys won. And he was the only one that lost. Out of the three people nominated, he was the only one that lost.
The other two guys won.
And he was nominated twice.
That's so, I mean, it's unreal.
It was four, yeah, four nominations.
He was two of them.
And then there was a tie.
Yeah.
And the tie was the other two.
And so he just loses.
I mean, the odds are unreal.
It's unreal.
Yeah.
We've talked about the odds on air.
Yeah, it's great.
It's great.
All right, everybody.
If you guys saw the poll, we didn't do the poll.
Someone asked.
We only had like one person asked, though, right?
Or a couple people.
Maybe a couple people.
They missed it.
We said we're not doing it.
Yeah, we talked ourself out of the poll.
It is.
We're moving on. I think everybody was like, all right, we get it. I like where it's at. Yeah, we talked ourself out of the pool. It is, we're moving on.
I think everybody was like, all right, we get it.
I like where it's at.
Hello, folks.
If you're in the wild, you're able to respond.
Let's go, folks.
Let's go, folks.
It's a fun thing to yell at each other when we're out.
Like, I mean, don't yell at all of our shows the whole time.
But it is funny when you, I do enjoy it when I walk out.
If someone does a let's go, folks.
That's almost like a perfect, that's almost perfect at a show. But they do it because when I walk out. If someone does a let's go folks, that's almost like a perfect,
that's almost perfect at a show,
but they do it because they do it great.
Or they just yell it.
And then it's like,
all right,
we out of the way we know people are there.
And then,
uh,
so I like what it is.
Hello folks is how we will introduce.
And then,
uh,
but let's go folks.
I know there's let's go folks,
uh,
Instagram,
right?
Yeah.
So there you go.
We were,
uh, at this point, I stayed outside Zany's the other night and some guy drove by, yelled, let's go, folks. Instagram, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah. So there you go. We were –
It's at its point.
I stayed outside Zaney's the other night, and some guy drove by and yelled,
let's go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But then I realized I was staying in the street.
We played – I golfed yesterday at Bell Mead Golf Course.
Never been there.
It's like – and John August augustine our guy john course record
yesterday yeah i've seen him set two course records yeah you just told me about governor's
club he shot a 62 they didn't give it to him at governor's club why not i don't know they the guy
goes because we walked in we go what's the course record and he was like i think it's like 64 or
something and we said oh well now it's 62 because he shot a 62.
Well, John's a professional golfer.
It's not insane for – it's not like me walking in going, yeah, well, you know.
And the guy's like, ah, you got to do it competitively or something.
It doesn't make sense.
That's not how it works.
And then Bellmead, exact opposite.
They're thrilled about it, and they love it.
And I think he shot a 65 because they moved the tees back.
He had two, like, I mean, he chipped in the first hole,
like a 45, 50-yard, knocked it in the hole for Eagle.
And then on a par four, probably like a 100-yard shot,
just saw it go boop, boop, and then dropped in.
And it's crazy.
I mean, dude, he had, I think, two three putts and three bogeys yeah and shot a 65 yeah that's amazing it's pretty wild
uh so uh we're playing today brian and i are playing later tonight don't expect any course
records out there he's wearing that out there just if y'all finish i'll be happy uh nine holes
kids will be out there god they see y'all two walk out there, and they...
It was camouflage?
Yeah, they just look.
You're his caretaker.
You come out, and you...
See a head floating out there.
Yeah.
You wearing the jacket.
Jacket fits good.
It does fit.
Have you wore it out?
No, it's the first time wearing it, man.
It looks good.
It feels good.
It feels powerful.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
You do feel power with that
i do over just as much as i'm gonna get yeah over deer over deer that's not nothing that's
yeah something deer everywhere when you see them they don't come they don't run in front of your
car they don't even look at me i saw a deer get hit the other day and it was uh i didn't see it
but it was laying in front of this these people's driveway and i was like man that's the worst yeah
like what do you do when you hit a deer?
You got to call somebody?
The police or something?
I mean, if there's damage.
No, but I mean like when it's.
You call somebody and they come and get it.
I don't think you have to take care of it.
You know who you call?
No, I don't know who I would call.
1-800-DEER.
I think it's animal control.
Oh.
I thought it was like the highway incident response i guess it depends
where you're at we have a ton of deer in our neighborhood and squirrels there's always some
dead animal out in our front y'all call them for a dead squirrel in the yard and they're like and
the guy's like just drive over it in the middle dude like why are you i'm not coming out there
ruth calls like once a week yeah come and scoop these things up there's that many i mean there's
a bunch scoop them up up with a shovel?
Well, I'm joking about the scoop.
I don't know how they pick them up, but she's like, come on.
There's that many that you have to call, which is very funny.
Yeah.
You're just like, it's just, you know, you're just like weirdly boom, boom, boom.
When I take my dog for a walk, there's always some carcass we're having to maneuver around.
My old neighbor, we had a dead possum in the middle of the road for probably a month.
Nobody.
Nobody wanted it.
It was like, it's not mine.
Nobody wanted to take credit for it.
That's tough.
That's a tough part of neighborhood.
You got to hope when you move to the neighborhood, you got someone that's like a go-getter.
And that person should be rewarded.
You should acknowledge.
That person should be you.
Yeah.
You have that jacket.
Will you show up with that jacket?
Now I'd have to if I show up with this jacket.
He'll get it.
He'll scoop up that possum. probably eat it they you know i think that's what they would honestly think they would just they would see
they would see you with that jacket and then they go golly i guess he's got someone's got
dinner tonight aaron's got takeout uh where he's going out and they? You're just out there with that shovel. Pulling enough out of the...
Honey, I'm home.
Anybody else want this?
Lucy?
Am I frying this up for me?
Get in on this.
Daniel Yark.
Yark-y.
I have to say this is my favorite episode of an already fantastic show.
You could do every episode with just comments.
The tangents you go on are ridiculous, and it gives us all folks a chance to be
part of the conversation with Nate Aaron and banana hammock.
It's great.
It's great to feel like I'm part of such a cool niche community niche,
niche,
niche.
It's niche,
right?
That's one of those.
I hear it said both ways and we all know what we're talking.
I thought it was niche.
Okay.
I didn't know. I would, I was niche. Okay. I didn't know.
I would rather say niche.
I didn't know people did that.
I'd say niche.
I think they both work, man.
I think you're both doing great.
I thought that was one of the words I was trying to, an olive branch to the English speakers of the world.
That's very mature of you.
I walk in, yeah.
That's why I walk into an art gallery and go, wow, this is a very niche painting.
This is niche.
It's pretty niche in here, huh?
Leslie Dewberry.
My wife and I have been nomads since Hurricane Ida hit.
Normally, the drive from New Orleans to-
My family and I.
Oh.
I think Leslie's a woman.
Oh, okay.
My family and I have been nomads since Hurricane Ida hit.
Normally, the drive from New Orleans to Chattanooga would be around seven hours,
but with thousands of other folks evacuating as well,
it took us 14 hours to finally make it there.
We've been hotel hopping since then,
trying to find something stable through the already booked Labor Day weekend.
The Nate Land Podcast has helped me and my two girls keep a shred of sanity and, for the most part,
positive attitudes during those long car rides.
And we even learned random facts along the way.
Please wish us luck and keep us in your prayers as we navigate our next steps.
Thank you for not taking life too seriously.
And Sharon Laughs, my whole family loves you guys.
We're really looking forward to one day seeing you in a, it says seating, seeing you in person
at a show.
Seating you.
We're going to seed you.
Leslie, we will.
Prayer's up for you guys.
I mean, that's brutal.
That's tough.
14 hours, man.
Everybody's leaving.
That's a long drive.
Yeah.
And then your end goal is Chattanooga.
Not saying anything bad about Chattanooga,
but if it was the other way around, you'd be like,
all right, well, it was worth it.
Chattanooga, New Orleans.
At least now we're in New Orleans.
At least now we're in New Orleans.
It's fun.
And you're like, Chattanooga.
You're like, all right, let's go look at the aquarium,
Unreal Aquarium, and then a couple other things, and then we're done.
Let's go.
Let's get on back at it.
Once you get there, you're basically like, all right, let's head back.
Be good out there, guys.
Be safe.
Tal, Under the Door.
My date with the president's daughter is an absolute classic starring Will Friedle,
who also played Eric on Boys Meets World.
Keep up the great stuff.
Aaron Land is my favorite podcast.
I've turned a lot of folks on to it.
Oh, Aaron Land.
He's got some listeners.
That's great.
It's going to be tough if you're an Aaron Land fan,
but you're not really into Nate Land.
I mean, they get through it.
Yeah.
You all recognize this guy?
Yeah.
I think Boy Meets World was a little bit after.
I do.
It was after y'all's time, right?
I do the old way, not the new way.
I bet he's a guy that now, when you look at him, if you see him now, you would just stare
at him and be like, how do I know?
Like, you know.
Are you saying younger and older?
Yeah, like the young one.
The one with that long hair is like, you're like, yeah, that guy there.
You're like, yeah, yeah.
Know exactly who he is.
But then you look at him, that picture on the left, like the older one,
you would be like, you might, like I bet so many people are like, golly, dude.
Can't put my finger on it, but I know that guy.
When did you graduate?
It's like a lot of that.
And he's like, I mean, I'm one of the most famous shows on,
he's one of the most famous shows ever on television.
And all he gets now is, what year did you graduate high school?
Were you in my grade?
Like that's all people think?
Yeah.
And he goes, no, I was on Boy Meets World.
We won an Oscar for it.
Mark Maxwell.
No.
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Though?
Art?
Though?
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Means, why are you Romeo?
It's literally meaning is that Juliet is agonized to think that Romeo is a house of Montag.
Is it Montag?
Montague.
Huh?
Montague.
That feels like you're making that up.
No, it's the Capulets of the Montagues.
It's Montagues.
They're rivaling families.
Oh.
It's Montagues.
They're rivaling families.
Oh.
She agonized to think that Romeo is House of Montague and painfully wishes him to have been from some other family.
Aaron Lane going strong.
I don't even understand that sentence, any of it.
I don't think I could talk to Mark Maxwell.
I think we would have trouble.
I think he would end up, our night would end up,
he would just throw popcorn in my
mouth and i would catch it and he would think we would both be like i guess this is all we can
really do to each other like we can't have a conversation so he'd just be me sitting over there
and he's like just throwing pop i'm just trying to catch it and then i go all right man well he
said wherefore art thou romeo means why are you rome? But you just read it just now. Why are you Romeo?
It kind of changes the meaning of it.
Why are I Romeo?
Why are you Romeo?
Why are you Romeo?
Why are you Romeo?
Yeah, so you're mad that why are you Romeo?
Why are you in this family that I'm not allowed to talk to?
Such a ridiculous question, though.
I mean, an insane, like, what if Romeo just said.
It's a rhetorical question.
He's not literally going, why are you Romeo? Oh, that was him asking that? No, no, no, sorry just said. It's a rhetorical question. He's not literally going, why are you?
Oh, that was him asking that?
No, no, no.
Sorry.
Yeah, it's her asking.
Okay.
So then his supposedly, Romeo, get a little heads up.
Your wife's going to be a nutso because she's questioning.
You don't want to be in that marriage.
You don't want to be in a marriage.
She's already going, why do you have to be born in the family you're born?
You're like, I'm born.
We're past the point of that. there's no more like all right i'm
sorry like i mean he's acting like like uh he had a choice i don't think she brought it up
after they got married had a couple of kids i know i think he got the heads up and said hey
what if we just both kill ourselves? That would be easier than getting married.
Because this questioning is driving me insane.
He faked his death to get out of it.
He did.
He's doing fine.
We see a picture of him and Tupac together.
Drew Medden,
Medden,
on the topic of Cliff's Notes,
my older brother and I had a little business when we were in college together.
We would find out which classes allowed note cards during exams,
check which chapters would be covered in the exams,
and then hand-write entire chapters on five, eight note cards.
I could fit three to four lines of text within one line on the card.
We'd then scan and print copies of the note cards and sell them to other students.
I never went hungry at that school. It's a pretty good idea. card we then scan and print copies of the note cards and sell them to other students i never
went hungry at that school it's a pretty good idea see i with the lawnmowers uh i uh i can hear
i don't know if y'all can hear them a little bit uh but i like that kind of thing to me but that
would that what he did is like better than school like weird like weirdly you go the fact that you guys figured
that out and then sold it i bet you're doing better than even if you'd be like well they
cheated on the test you're like it doesn't even really matter not saying you want kids to cheat
but it's like the it's not cheating though then i mean it is exactly cheating you're writing down
you're not taking the exam you're writing down the chapters on the note card yeah but they allow
you a note card during the exam they're just giving people the yeah but they don't give the
note card going like you guys swear you're not going to be writing down all the chapters i don't
think the teacher would be thrilled we used to put a lot on those note cards we had classes like that
i'd write so much on it i ever had a note card they're like for like a math exam you can write
you get one note card you can write down formulas put whatever you want on there, but that's all you can reference.
Oh, that's your only help?
Yeah.
Oh.
So instead of like an open book exam, you just get a note card.
I still like it.
I love the way they did this.
Before you bowled, you just looked at your note card?
Yeah.
Strike, okay.
Yeah.
They got another X.
Golly, dude, I can't catch a break.
No, it's good.
Oh, that's good.
You know, you'd be good at this
because I've seen your set list.
You're very good at writing very small.
Yeah.
And that's what you,
you gotta be able to write legible,
but very tiny.
I'd be great at cheating.
Yeah, I don't think I ever did any of this stuff.
This could be why I had trouble in school.
That or the dyslexia
that we still haven't figured out.
I got to go to that school.
What if, dude, if I figured out I'd do it, they're like, you have it.
That would make so much sense.
Would it change anything at this point?
Huh?
No.
It's like, Romeo, I'm already too far.
It's like, what are we going to do?
We already made it this far.
I'm not going, can you fix it?
I don't think you can fix it.
Someone asked that you not do it.
They're like, they think that's your secret genius.
Oh.
Funny and don't ruin it.
Yeah.
What would, if I found out I was?
You got fixed?
I don't think they can fix you.
A boring guy.
They just hit me in the head with a bat.
I walk out of there like, wherefore art thou Romeo?
And I go, that makes sense now.
You ever see the episode of house with Dave Matthews no
yeah is it when did it air during West Wing different era different era when he watched it
Dave Matthews plays a uh a young man who has a head injury but he's a piano savant. He's unbelievable at piano.
They fix his brain,
but he loses his ability to play piano in the process.
His dad is struggling.
Do I fix his brain?
He'll be able to button his shirt up now,
but he won't be able to play the piano anymore.
I think that's kind of the same dilemma.
That happened to George Costanza when he had sex.
Yeah.
It's a clean podcast, bro.
Janine Ashcraft.
I totally agree with movies not sticking.
I was so excited when the movie Boston Strangler was going to be on TV.
That's a hilarious movie.
I planned my whole evening around it.
Then in the first five minutes, I realized I had already seen it.
I wish I'd either remembered the movie or not. Then it would be new every time. What
Boston Strangler movie? I looked it up.
It was from 1968.
So Janine might be more my era.
Yeah.
I get it. I need to go watch
this Boston Strangler movie. With Henry Fonda?
I guess. The fact that you're waiting,
planning your whole evening around watching something
on TV probably means it's from a bygone era. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No TiVo. Which I loved. I love. The fact that you're waiting, planning your whole evening around watching something on TV probably means it's from a bygone era.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No TiVo.
Which I loved.
I loved.
I mean, nothing better than waiting.
Wait, like,
because you have to wait for everything.
That's something that kids are,
they don't,
that's gone
and that I wish they had.
Waiting,
you have to wait for everything.
Can't wait till...
Sporting events is like it now.
Yeah.
On TV. But then you're like,ing events is like it now. Yeah.
On TV.
But then you're like,
I'm going to watch it.
I'm going to record them.
I'll go do,
I'll go have a day.
Don't tell me what happened.
I'll just watch and fast forward,
you know,
and watch a game quick.
Cameron Clark. I think Nate blew Aaron's mind a little bit when he asked why he even used a
bank.
If he was negative $8,
that laugh was the laugh of realization.
It was,
it was. Yeah. I'm a little, that laugh was the laugh of realization. It was.
It was.
Yeah.
I'm better than negative eight now.
So now I have a reason for a bank.
Negative two.
They're like, oh yeah, here he comes.
Big spin.
You walk in with that jacket.
Check his ID.
That's all you hear.
You know, a check cashier place is not called a a bank that's where you don't keep going where
do you bank at advanced financial yeah and let me ask you something is your bank open 24 hours
you just keep giving the check cash place money and you leave and they're like this guy i don't
know we just keep getting money from just. Just a Kroger ATM.
John Armstrong, listening to Aaron's story about ripping the gas pump out
and then casually putting it back.
There's no way there wasn't more significant damage,
and whoever the poor sap was who pumped there after Aaron
probably had gas spilling out all over his car.
Very true.
Nah, I checked on it.
You stayed?
No, I didn't.
Did you watch it?
I felt good about it you didn't like
pull to like the next door business and just sit like a private detective and just kind of watch
what's going on pull around the corner and just wait yeah no i didn't do that i had somewhere to
be but that's true i think clearly i think the other person's like, snake, god damn it. And then he's like,
I don't know how this thing,
he's like breaking bad.
He goes,
and the pump was,
when he's trying to,
he goes,
and the nozzle,
the click, click, click.
I should sue that place.
I should sue that place
is what I should do.
Aaron, are you in a little bit
above your head
with something
that you want to tell us?
That's what we think it is.
You know what?
That makes a lot of sense.
William Roberts, don't get me wrong. I i love the constant banner between the three of them
three of them however it was cool to see nate's genuine excitement listen to aaron and bart
levy experience shooting a tv show that will actually be aired keep up the good work gentlemen
all right that started off where i was like oh boy and then it was very sweet. Yeah. Have you talked to Greg?
A little bit.
Did he say anything how we did?
He said that y'all did,
he said,
I did text him.
He said,
y'all did great.
Yeah. He said,
y'all did great.
I don't think you're beyond,
but you did great.
They're going a different direction.
With my character?
Yeah,
your character.
They were like,
I don't know.
They look too real.
Scare children? Yeah. It's supposed to be a comedy. Yeah, your character. They were like, I don't know. They look too real. Scare children?
Yeah.
Supposed to be a comedy.
Yeah.
Good night.
What's wrong with that?
Boston Strangler here.
Colby Goller-her.
Golly her.
That's what it's G-O-L-L-I-H-E-R.
Golly her.
Golly her.
Colby Golly her.
Get in here. Dead gummit. Deadlly her. Colby, golly her. Get in here.
Dead gummit.
Dead gummit.
Middle name, dead gummit.
Colby, dead gummit.
Golly her.
Aaron said, that's fair.
Tonight's change versus dollar bills argument, like it's actually made any sense at all.
In change, we have ones, fives, tens, twenty-fives, and the rare fifties and dollars.
Ones, fives, tens, twenty-fives, and the rare fifties and dollars.
In bills, we most often use ones, fives, tens, twenties, fifties, and one-hundreds.
Why would they not be the same?
That was my point.
Yeah.
He's saying your argument, Nate, or Colby, or maybe she, I don't know, didn't add up.
I feel like it was the price of stuff.
I don't know.
I think 20s make more sense.
I don't know.
Y'all go change it.
I don't know.

When we were in high school and had zero dollars my friend came with a brilliant screen scheme the bank and the grocery store offered sixty dollars to open an
account so we all stood in line and opened account promptly asked to pull out the sixty dollars
then asked to please close the account i don't know what they were thinking but i was sixty
dollars richer that's so funny i mean that had to be so that bank was like
all right they had a meeting the next week all right next week they're like all right guys we
lost 240 with that did y'all ever think that through whose idea was that whose idea was that
no one was saying anything yeah well you owe me 240 that dumb idea that's that's a great i love
that they thought of that that would be be smart, too. Mm-hmm.
Bryce Hockenberry.
Who else checked the description just to see if they actually timestamped Joe's comment?
I think a lot of people did.
Yeah.
We did, right?
Yep.
No response from Joe?
Not at this moment.
Not that I've seen.
Not at this moment.
We'll see what happens.
Joe's probably done with this.
A few people agree with Joe.
Oh.
I get it
they just want their own
time stamp
yeah
James Greer
my wife and I went out
for a monthly date
night dinner
a monthly date night dinner
is that how you would say that
my wife and I went out
for a monthly date night dinner

my wife and i went out my cousin and my uncle went out.
I'm like, I'm all flunked.
Hold on, hold on, guys.
Let me get it together.
My aunt, my grandmother have been married for five years.
You're like, what?
Oh, no.
Okay, I read that wrong.
My wife and I went for a monthly date night dinner.
The waiter came to our table and said,
hello, folks.
My heart filled with joy.
He took our drink order
then proceeded to tell us the specials of the night.
To see if he was a true fan,
I asked him who his source was
after he finished telling us
the specials.
In his best Nate voice,
he said,
our manager,
Bob Ripplepants.
How funny is that?
I gave him a high five
and he walked away.
The look on my wife's face
was like watching a car wreck
because she had no clue
what the heck just happened.
Keep up the greatest
average podcast. How about it? You you know that's one of my that is
date night dinner i'm gonna start saying it now now your story came what a fun story that is so
good like the hello like because it is that's what's so fun about it is like people can you know
you take a risk when you do it yeah so that waiter's walking around
saying hello folks to all his tables all his tables and it paid off for him and it paid off
and it's worth it james like that's yeah it makes it i mean yeah i love the risk that we're all
you have to put out like i love someone goes hello folks and you gotta get you have to say
something like you have to say what's your source that's even like and the guy could be like i don't know what you're talking about yeah
what a weird question you're like sorry about that now your whole your waiter is weird with
you the whole time i love the danger that you get put in i mean the non-important danger but just
the awkward danger that you get put in with a you gotta go let's go folks and they're like god get
out of here dude and people just say it all right we'll be
right back welcome everybody we're very very excited uh for this guest i've put my jacket on
this is a big one dude it is uh jay cutler is here did you get that when you were like
eight nine i bought it the day they you signed a vandy i went to that bar
i was there you didn't even know who I was when I signed a Vandy.
He said, I've been looking at it.
I go, look at this tight end.
We got this top tight end.
That's what we talked about in this podcast.
They brought him in as a tight end, and they told him no.
That's who he was being recruited as at first, as a tight end.
Yeah, I listened.
Yeah.
Crazy, huh?
Big fan of the podcast.
Maybe if he was a tight end, it would have worked out.
You ever think about that?
I might still be playing.
Might still be out there.
Yeah, might still be doing it.
Do you sit there and ever – don't you have to stay in shape?
Like what if you get called?
Me?
Yeah.
Would they call you?
No.
You replaced Ryan Tannehill in Miami, right?
I did.
So if the Titans, let's say last week of the season,
Brian goes down, they're getting ready to go to the playoffs,
they call you, Jay, we need you.
You can still serve on the school board yeah you can do all that
you can do all you can go to your dc not meeting i can do a podcast uncut yep but we just need you
to lead us to a super bowl that's a tough uh i don't know if i could do school board and super
bowl in the same the same season yeah that is true that's true i mean that's two i would love
that to be your thing on ESPN.
You're like, guys, I just got a lot on my plate right now, to be honest.
One night's a school board meeting.
Yeah.
I mean, Super Bowl's a Sunday.
It's not on Sundays.
Are the Monday night games over?
Because that's when we meet.
Yeah, that's when we meet.
It's an hour commitment.
It's really, really important to me.
Can we do it in the locker room?
How is everybody comfortable with men naked? Is that, you have to be comfortable, like that's just men naked all the time. Yeah. Is that in the locker room you're not very comfortable with uh men naked is that you have to become like that's
just men naked all the time yeah locker room yeah that's a lot that's probably that makes a lot of
people not play sports i don't know i think it does at a high school level yes for sure because
i mean where i guess we're going down this road um but at a high school level like you know there's
towels like you're you're You're still discreet.
Yes.
You're nervous.
You're nervous, but you don't want to be dirty.
So you want to take the shower.
So it's like, hey, take your towel right to the water.
Do the thing.
College, less.
And then the NFL, it's just naked men.
And it's a job.
It's professional.
Everywhere. We're professionals. there's nakedness everywhere what if like so
aaron would probably take a shower with a shirt on when people be upset about that or they like
like is that well high school is you have kids who haven't hit puberty yet yeah you get a mixed bag
with grown men yeah and then once you get past high school level, they're all grown men at that point.
Some are grown more than others.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They're grown men.
They're grown men.
Are there reporters in there when y'all are?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, there's reporters.
There's male reporters.
There's female reporters.
I mean, there's just people just coming and going.
You know, it'd be a funny sketch I thought thought you could do for your, for Uncut.
And Jay's got a great podcast.
I was the second episode.
Very honored to be the second episode.
Uncut.
Uncut with Jay Cutler.
It's on everything.
It's better than, it's doing better than this podcast already.
Give it time.
Give it some time.
That's what we're waiting on.
We'll have you back.
And you're like, Jay, what happened?
That's what they said. We opened it whatever and i was like oh damn it i
wish we were like 160 i think yeah yeah just ease in yeah the only way to go is probably down at
this point yeah we'll see what happens you're you're it's gonna be great it's gonna you're
gonna love it because it's it's look i when i started this one i didn't know i mean i do i
taught yeah for a living and so uh but i didn't know. I mean, I do. I talk for a living. And so, but I didn't know.
A lot of people do podcasts and you're like, I don't know if I want to do it.
But what I've really, really enjoyed it.
And it's nice to, I don't know, for me, it makes it, you're funnier.
You're thinking more.
You're just like, and so like, you're just going to realize when you're doing these every
week that your, your like brain starts thinking differently and you start thinking of stuff
and funny stuff and whatever.
And it's just nice.
Yeah.
I have noticed that.
I mean, there's something about being around people in an artistic and engaging way.
It just kind of, like you said, it stimulates you and kind of gets things going.
So I've enjoyed it so far.
Yeah, and they can see your personality.
Everybody thinks you're not fun.
I might not be.
You know?
To be determined.
Who knows?
We'll see what happens after this
I was worried about
Nate
I mean
because I was like
hey like
he's obviously
super funny
I've watched Netflix
I've watched this podcast
and I was like
he's super funny
but he came in
you know
very just
under the radar
didn't say a whole lot
not a lot of expression
and he sat down
and he's like
what do you want to talk about
I was like
you know
I mean
I guess
we'll just kind of
let's talk he's like okay and i was like in the back of my
mind i was like oh my gosh my second one's gonna bomb this is real real real bad and then we i
think we talked like it was great yeah we talked like 15 minutes before i even got to question one
so well i think we're very similar in the like kind of low-key not like super animated, not, you know, just kind of easy. If I play football,
I think I would have the same thing. You're like, he doesn't care.
So like, I love everything.
They would hate you.
They would be furious, dude. I get it all the time.
Like people think this guy hates his jokes.
They're like, they think all this stuff and you're like, no,
I'm having an awesome time. I just don't show it.
Oh, I think it's hilarious. Whenever like you tell a joke and you just kind of go strange i'm like this is
he's funny that's what makes it you know funny is you don't yeah i tell these jokes every night
yeah i hear them they're all good we have uh i didn't have a picture of you over there uh in
that top right hand corner oh yeah denver denver i think it's autographed. Jay Cutler. It is.
Vanderbilt turf up there.
That is.
Yeah, that's a legit.
That's a real one?
Yeah, that's a legit one.
You can tell?
Oh, yeah.
I can tell.
Just because of your signature.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you can tell when it's fake?
Yep.
Do you tell anybody how?
I don't think you should.
No, I'm definitely not going to tell anybody how.
Because then they start figuring it out.
I mean, no one really wants it anymore.
What if you're like, I'm left-handed, and that's how you do it?
You go.
It's a big one.
Is it – when you sign, I can notice, would you ever get – does your
signature change?
I mean, you all have to sign, like, thousands of balls.
I mean, I don't know.
I don't know if people are still signing a lot now.
Yeah.
Whenever I came out, it was all the cards.
It was a big rush.
Yeah.
And you'd sit there, and you'd sign, you know, 5,000, cards, it was a big rush. Yeah. And you'd sit there and you'd sign 5,000 little Topps cards.
That's crazy.
And I got to a point where I was like, all right, do I just put JC in like a six at this
point or we just continue down this road?
Would you change it?
I didn't.
Oh, you always, that's good.
I didn't. i came close at one
point but i was like hey you know what just do it i'm already committed i'm already committed so
just just just do it that's good though that's i like that you can tell the signature too if you
could tell if it's real or not would you even remember when that would have been i mean obviously
at denver but like would you that was that was my rookie year yeah that was that was year one do
you remember signing that picture i don't know where were you what was going on that day i was in my bedroom
all right it's a little personal that's what i like it was the first one i did
uh that football is flat i think that might be that's a vanderbilt football
uh i got a lot of vanderbilt stuff the helmet yeah what do you think about the new the new logo
I saw it
I haven't looked at it
so so much
but
I like
I saw the uniforms and stuff
I think I like
is it the gold
what did they change
what are we looking at
yeah go to the
yeah there we go
go like football uniforms
or something like that
see this is what I
he doesn't know how to look stuff up
he looks up the worst
I know
sometimes he types in what were you looking at the other day like to look stuff up. He looks up the worst. I know. Sometimes he types in,
what were you looking at the other day?
Like, it's the stuff that gets nowhere.
See, I need this on my podcast.
I need, like, a Google person.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That's what you learn.
Then you can type it in.
Yeah.
You have, you probably have a Google person.
I know.
I need to get,
I need to tell them to be,
like, you're my Google person.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll come in and do it.
What's the new one we're looking at here?
The, what do you mean? The new logo. Yeah. Which one is it? I have no idea. Oh, I'll come in and do it. What's the new one we're looking at here? What do you mean?
The new logo.
Yeah.
Which one is it?
I have no idea.
Oh, we don't know, man.
I don't even think they have one.
What team is this?
Oh, that's Colorado.
Sorry about that, everybody.
That kid's weird.
Well, so I basically, I need a better Google person than your Google person.
Well, Aaron's not great.
How about you?
I mean, I'm off to a slow start for sure, but I'll pick it up.
How about you use a Safari?
Vanderbilt new uniforms
there we go
Brian you should be
the google person
I was
and they took it away
from me
really
why
because I'm too good
Brian knows what to do
but sometimes speed
is more important
I was too fast
in precision
no he would
he would go in
it was like
he's used to doing
like fax machines
and stuff
so alright this is there's no real yeah that's the new Like, he's used to doing, like, fax machines and stuff like that.
So, all right.
That's new.
Yeah.
That's the new uniform. Who took that picture?
Like, why would that be your –
Aaron took it.
So, do y'all have a – when y'all take the uniform pictures, is that, like, a whole day?
No.
Oh, yeah.
I like it.
I like the stripes on the shoulders.
I like the stripes.
The V is – I don't know.
The V is a little different.
Yeah.
I actually kind of like it, but I don't – I mean, people don't like it. I like the stripes on the shoulders. I like the stripes. The V is, I don't know. The V is a little different. Yeah. I actually kind of like it, but I don't, I mean, people don't like change.
You know, the gloves, it's like, it's.
No, I like it.
I mean, it's fine.
Yeah.
I love the stripes on the shoulders.
Yeah, I like the stripes.
But, yeah, the picture day is like, no, you're there for, it's like five minutes.
I mean, it's an all-day thing, but you just take your individual.
I mean, the NFL is a little bit different because you have like all the
Monday night, Sunday night, which are different broadcasts.
Yeah.
Thursday night, which are different broadcasts.
Like you have to do different ones for all of them.
You have to say your name.
Like you have to do the intros.
Yeah.
Like four or five different times.
So when they show you on Monday Night Football and you're the moving person. Yeah. know four or five times oh like when they so when you like when they show y'all
Monday Night Football
and you're the moving person
yeah so that's gotta be
kind of awkward
so that was a
oh super awkward
I hated it
yeah
because you have to be like
some people love it
oh I can imagine
you have the personality for it
yeah it's great
yeah not me
otherwise they're like
is that a regular picture
and then they see you blink
and they're like
god
exactly
but you have to do that
for Sunday Night Football
you have to do it
for Monday Night Football
you have to do it for Thursday Night Football and then usually you have to do it for Sunday night football. You have to do it for Monday night football. You have to do it for Thursday night football.
And then usually you have to do it for the team, the team website.
And so you have to do it every game?
No.
One video.
You do it in the beginning of the year for the preseason-ish,
and then you're good.
What was your go-to move?
I bet it was just kind of twirling football.
Yeah, you twirl it.
I hated it.
I was like, this is dumb.
Hold the ball up to it. It got to a it. I was like, this is like dumb.
Hold the ball up to it.
It got to a point where I was like, hey,
just tell me exactly what you want me to do.
Sometimes I like that too.
We were exactly the same.
I do.
When you go do it, I do it.
I go, what do you want?
Yeah, what in your mind is going to be best for you?
And I will do it to the best of my ability. The little bit, when you do a special,
you have to take a bunch of pictures.
And so they would usually do it like right before the special and you got to take a bunch of pictures and so they would
usually do it
like right before
the special
and you gotta go
and like the dude's like
alright do this
and there's all this stuff
that you learn
you know I just learned it
for your chin
so your chin go up
you put like your
tongue at the top
of your mouth
and it makes that
like this go up
so if someone takes
a picture of you
on the side
I don't know if I do it right but it makes it goes up yeah I mean me and takes a picture of you in the side yeah i don't know if
i do it right but it makes it goes up yeah i mean me and nate have the double chin problem like you
just cover yours up with i i have the same problem i'm just brian just doesn't care he just leans
into it at this point so that's what it fixes the double chin yeah tongue to the roof of the mouth
tongue to the roof of the mouth and then i just learned that uh
and so like there's a little stuff like that that yeah you know so like people that know how to take
pictures that's why i always think modeling is kind of crazy because they they have to like it's
hard to look good good and photogenic and yeah and so these models like have to know how to like
stand and like do stuff and it's like all day yeah i'm just like doing these because when i
would do those pictures of the specials like you just sit there and you start moving and they're like you know
the guy's like i mean it's just every picture is the same picture and he's like i get all right
and like when i go and then they send them to you and they're like what do you think i go i don't i
don't even care yeah i don't care just put whatever out and then they usually pick one you're like
well that's the worst one i've ever and then you go well let me see them now because i apparently
you don't know what i look like and that's awful and like I think it's good I don't think anybody looks at it
then I don't think they care I think for uh you know like I've learned that with comedy
or like with we get on posters one of the best does have the sort of best poster I've ever did
was a picture of me holding my nephew when he was born and so then they just cropped it my nephew out
and i'm like this and it was like nate vargas tonight eastfield comedy club in new york and
it's just like a picture i'm like it's me holding my nephew like i know but does anyone really want
to be like a good looking comic i feel like the the worst you look maybe the funnier you are yeah
yeah it's difficult for me for Yeah. But he fights through it.
That's why he wears that jacket, just to balance it out.
Do you recognize that camo?
You're a big hunting guy.
What is that, Realtree?
Oh, yeah.
For sure.
Look at this.
Tomorrow's a big day in Kentucky.
Yeah.
Season's open tomorrow.
So Aaron just looks the part.
Oh, okay.
But he loves it.
I respect it.
He respects it, and he loves to look.
He's like a fan.
He's like a guy wearing a Bears uniform.
Oh, so you just buy camo?
Yeah.
I was gifted this, this particular jacket.
But I will buy camo, yeah.
But never for functional purposes, just for fashion.
I love the way it looks, man.
Yeah.
I love the statement.
He's trying to hide a lot.
What's the statement that it makes?
Just like, you can't push me around.
Yeah.
Like, there is a limit.
And you're pretty close to it.
It's very funny to be, you should just wear the orange jacket over it so you don't get
shit.
Like, that should also be your statement.
Yeah, at all times.
At all times.
And you go like, no, I'm just a fan.
Just go.
You a hunter?
You're like, no, I'm just a big fan.
Fan of the game.
I just walk around the woods a lot just cheering them on.
Let's go, boys.
Let's go, boys.
Today's our day.
That's good.
You got to whisper it.
Let's go today.
Let's go.
Let's go.
They're – yeah, so Kentucky's –
It opens tomorrow.
When's Tennessee?
It opened last weekend, but there's a three-day season,
and then it's closed.
It's closed for the next two or three weeks.
Oh.
I do remember Deer's season.
Do you?
I mean, I never did it.
Yeah.
But I just remember the guys that did it.
It was a thing.
It was a thing that they were like, season starts today.
Is it like bow?
It's bow, yeah.
But you can use crossbow.
I don't, but the boys are nine and seven,
so they'll use a crossbow tomorrow but you
do bow i do like bobo what time do you go now like during this time of season like we only hunt in
the afternoons oh yeah did they not would they get up at four the boys yeah oh yeah they love it um
they're getting there yeah this is still you kind of going like no it's going to be great
it's it's you know it's one of those things that you tell them it's going to be great,
but you better make it great.
Yeah, yeah.
Like if you build it up, build it up, build it up,
and then it's not great, it's going to fall flat real quick.
So if there's no deer, you're going to kill a person.
You got to do what you got to do.
See that guy?
We're pulling the trigger on something.
We're pulling the trigger on something.
Squirrel.
I mean, something.
Something's going down.
A corn stalk.
Like, something's going to happen.
Something has to happen.
Bow hunting is that.
Well, that's the most, like, real.
Like, that's the intimate, you know.
The purest.
The purest of.
Yeah.
The real purest.
Rogan, big bow hunter.
Jeff Foxworthy.
Yep.
Big bow hunter.
Yep.
He talked about it because he wanted, because he was trying to get me to go out.
I've never been.
But I'm not going to cut.
You don't want to start with Bo.
That's a whole.
I don't even want to.
You kill it and you got to like.
Dress it.
Yeah.
That's a whole thing.
Yeah, it's not dressing.
It's not what you think.
You're like.
It's not turkey.
I'll dress it, dude.
I think it's putting clothes back on.
You're like, I cover it up.
You're like, no.
It's the exact opposite. We're going to get in there and like you're like this is the worst

And
That was already a town
Yeah and that was already a town.
So the post office rejected it and said, no, you got to call it something else.

Yeah.
Whatever else.
People in Indiana are called Hoosiers.
That's correct. No one seems to quite know what called Hoosiers. That is correct.
No one seems to quite know what a Hoosier is.
Do you know?
Because I read a different –
What do you have?
Some people said that people in Virginia, California –
or Carolinas and Tennessee called Indiana people Hoosiers
because they were backwoodsmen and country bumpkins.
It's like a derogatory.
You think it's like a basketball?
I mean, you're like, oh, it's a pretty good.
They're like, Larry Bird is like from Indiana.
You're like, no, they don't.
They can't read.
It says bumpkin?
Country bumpkin.
This is Indiana.
They consider, I guess, Indiana.
What do you think?
Y'all are pretty.
They think redneck, like, you know.
You're like on the cusp we

But he went to Notre Dame.
Yeah.
I did.
How?
He's family.
I don't know, dude.
They read Shakespeare for breakfast and stuff. Really?
They would just talk giant words at his family.
Well, it makes sense he can't work at a computer then.
He's just more – he's just a book guy.
Yeah, he's a book guy.
He wears camouflage just to kind of – this is what he thinks poor people dress like.
So he wears that just to fit in.
He goes, this is what they wear, right?
What did you study at Notre Dame?
Marketing and philosophy.
Really?
Yeah.
How's that going?
He talked about philosophy here.
It's all kind of ridiculous.
Really?
Yeah.
What did you study at Vandy?
Human organizational development.
That's like the – Yeah. What did you study at Vandy? Human organizational development. That's like the –
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then I got a minor in communications just because I didn't want to go to grad school.
Yeah.
I took speech at Volunteer State Community College.
For a couple weeks.
Same thing?
Yeah.
All the same.
Yeah.
That's as good as a communications degree from Vanderbilt.
Same thing.
Same thing.
I told him that.
And I talked to my speech class.
I told him, 95 Vanderbilt season.
We went five and six.
I showed the highlight reel.
And that was my favorite.
It was,
you were my favorite.
Corey Chavis,
before you,
was my all-time favorite
Vandy player.
I had a football signed by him
and the signatures.
I need to get
Corey Chavis' autograph again.
Is he still doing?
He still does footballs,
fantasy stuff.
I think.
I loved Corey Chavis. Yeah, he was big in the NFL draft stuff does football fantasy stuff. I think. I loved Corey Chavis.
Yeah, he was big in the NFL draft stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
He was doing that.
Yeah, he knows everybody.
Yeah.
Knows everything about everybody.
Big Corey Chavis fan.
When the Titans call you to come back, I'm still on this.
Sure.
Will you call Earl Bennett?
Will you be your first call?
Say, Earl, we got to get the guys back together.
Get the band back together.
Earl's like –
I think he's on staff at Mandy.
He's got a real job.
I don't have a real job.
So,
I mean,
I can pull it off.
Yeah.
You might go play
arena football.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So,
anybody can call you
and they just come here.
Yeah,
I'll try it,
dude.
I'm in,
sure.
I'll give it,
I'll give it a shot for a day.
I'll give it a shot,
dude.
I'd love to.
See what happens here.
Could arena,
would arena football be,
could you play arena football
or is it like so weird?
I think I can play tomorrow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Because it just would be really fun because it's like weird.
It would be like playing on a basketball board.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It would be a blast.
Yeah.
Is that still on TV?
I haven't seen it on TV.
I haven't seen it on TV in a while.
I don't know if it's –
It used to be big.
It used to be awesome.
Yeah, well, yeah.
I went to Nashville Cats.
The only game I've ever been to was their championship game.
They lost.
Jared Lorenzen played arena football.
He did.
Oh, yeah.
He did.
The last – this is a weird story.
The last arena football game I went to, and the only arena football game I went to, was
with Steve McNair.
Oh, yeah.
Oddly enough.
Yeah.
A couple weeks before he –
Oh, you went with him? Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, he wasn't playing. Yeah, yeah, yeah a couple weeks before he uh oh you went with him yeah oh wow yeah he wasn't playing yeah yeah yeah oh man that's crazy it is yeah how far can you throw a football
that's not like a child just walked in how big's your hands yeah how much do you weigh your head
bigger than my dad's head i think my dad could beat you up. You're like, all right.
Can we get him – can someone calm him down a little bit?
Give him some chips or something.
Give him some chips.
Right now or at –
Both.
Okay.
75 at some point.
Yeah.
Maybe 78.
Oh, 78.
He's tested.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then right now – 30, 10, 15. He's tested. Okay. Yeah. And then right now.
30, 10, 15.
15 yards.
No.
Did you hit me?
Barely.
I might have to use my left arm.
What's your role?
I don't know.
60 maybe?
Yeah.
Is that farther than you?
Aaron played football in college.
Yeah, I was a center.
Not at Notre Dame.
No, not at Notre Dame.
I played while I was at Notre Dame, not for Notre Dame.
He played in the general area of Notre Dame.
Notre Dame was there, and he played around the school.
I could get to it.
Yeah.
I could walk there.
I couldn't run 60 yards.
The suburbs of South Bend.
The suburbs of South Bend.
Where did y'all – did y'all – we played Notre Dame?
You played?
No, we played the year after, the second year.
But I grew up a Notre Dame fan.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Big Notre Dame fan.
Wanted to go there.
And then they wanted you to be a linebacker.
No, they wanted nothing to do with me.
I don't think they knew I existed.
Is that like when you get like, because you then,
because that was the big thing was, I was a big Bobby Johnson fan.
Like Bobby Johnson did more for Vanderbilt
than I think we gave him credit for at the time.
And then as you saw all of you guys kind of come out of that, you're like, oh, this dude was the real deal.
But do you all get super motivated when you don't get recruited by someone?
And then you get to Vandy and you're like, well, I'm going to show you all that.
Because you're going to these schools and you're like, none of y'all wanted me.
And then after your first year, they're like, well, they would all take you now.
Yeah. Yeah. going to these schools and you're like none of y'all wanted me and then after your first year they're like well they would all take you now yeah yeah i mean i mean i remember we went i don't know
we well we were in florida and i was i was my red shirt i was red shirting but i was still
dressing like it was me and another quarterback and on away games we would switch back and forth
on who who went in the way game and you just dress like you weren't playing and we were in florida and it was gosh
i think it was 28 to nothing into the first quarter and we ended up losing like 72 to 10 yeah
and i got home and i was like this is bad yeah this is really bad i think i i need maybe need
to find my way out of this place yeah obviously, I didn't. But, yeah, I mean, there's definitely a part of you once you get somewhere where, you know,
you maybe necessarily didn't want to go and it's a little bit below where your expectations were that you want to.
And you're like, oh, we're not good.
Yeah, you want to go out there and figure it out.
But then we came.
Yeah.
And you did.
We started.
Yeah, it was amazing.
Bobby, for being, you know, a Steve.
Who did he look like?
Steve Martin.
Steve Martin.
Yeah.
Looked like.
Looked dead like him.
Yeah.
And just kind of just your old, like, grandpa-looking white guy.
Like, they recruited really well.
And I think if you look at, like, the James Franklin teams and, you know,
that his early success is because, you know.
Yeah.
Jordan Matthews, I think.
Yep.
Those guys recruited so well.
He's still around.
He, like, really kind of disappeared.
He's got some health issues right now, unfortunately.
Oh, that's – well, he, like, retired and then –
That's a cool picture.
Do you remember that picture?
Where were you at on that picture?
Arkansas.
Jay?
Arkansas.
Yeah, it's Arkansas behind it.
Oh, okay.
Jay, what time was it exactly?
I was just talking about that game a couple days ago Jay, what time was it exactly?
I was just talking about that game a couple days ago because one of my quarterback coaches that I had in Chicago is in Arkansas now.
And we had a two-minute drill.
We had a fourth in, gosh, I want to say like 18 or 16.
I remember listening to this game on the radio.
Yeah, he just got TV a couple years ago.
And I hit Eric Davis in the
in the seam
and then
we ended up scoring
Marlon White
on a
a slant
to win that one
yeah
yeah I remember that
I remember Eric Davis
this is the first time
he's ever seen you in person
he's only heard you on the radio
I didn't know you were real
he goes wow
I thought you were black
when we walked in
I was hoping you were black.
I just assumed.
Martin, you walked in, he goes, oh, that, okay.
That makes sense.
Okay.
All right.
Walks out and meets the wrong person.
I had that.
Where was that comedy club?
I don't want to say, I don't know where we're at, but I went to a comedy club.
I remember going in the green room and the guy just walks in.
He goes, all right, who's Nate?
And he just looks at all of us.
And you're like, I'm headlining.
I think it was sold out. And it's just such a funny, I was like, all right, here. And he goes, right who's nate and he just looked at all of us and you're like i'm headlining i think it was sold out and it's just such a funny i was like all right here and
he goes whatever it doesn't matter don't care yeah don't care so who's like he just i could
have i could he would have let me host if i said i'm the host he'd be like that's fine all right
so you're nate you're last who's going who's going now what's the other order
uh india plus 500 is the largest single-day sporting event in the world.
I've been to the racetrack.
It's the largest in the world?
Single-day sporting event, it says.
Really?
How many people?
250,000.
That can't be relevant still.
Oh, we don't really look at that.
We don't look up too much stuff.
We let our fans comment and tell us the truth for the next week.
But I mean, the largest, longest?
Largest.
One day sporting event.
250,000.
Who else would?
I feel like maybe like Talladega.
There's got to be some NASCAR stuff.
No, I don't think.
I think they're under 100 or 200.
I mean, they're probably close.
But I mean, the Indy 500, is that around the?
It's a track.
It's a track, right?
It's not through the streets. I've been there. It's's a track. It's a track, right? It's not through the streets.
I bet you said you've been to the track.
I've been there.
It's an oval.
It's a NASCAR race.
It's an oval.
It's like a square, right?
I think it's an oval.
Yeah.
I think they make it.
They turn the blinker on because it's a sharp turn.
I know everybody makes that joke about that they have to...
Just left turns.
Left turns.
I mean, I guess it's a rounded square it's around a
rectangle yeah you've driven around it yeah why how uh we went to a nascar race a long time ago
uh brickyard the brickyard he didn't and then i just thought it was through the city of
minneapolis he just drove through downtown but i've been to the brickyard and then uh same track
same track and then they uh and so we got a we my buddy tommy hall went and
like did his he like his wife's dad worked for nascar or something so we got to drive around
the track and we drove around it i mean very reasonable slow nothing crazy it was at the end
of the race so i mean once you get around it you're like okay it was like just going like 30
i mean it was cool it's a good story i drove it huh it's a really good story right it, you're like, okay. It was just going like 30. I mean, it was cool. It's a good story, though. I drove it.
It's a really good story.
Right?
You're like, is this the guy's podcast?
You're like, it's a lot of this, dude.
I just mentioned people that I grew up with, and they're like, my neighbor Felix, you met
him earlier.
You talked about him.
I drove.
One time, we went to Charleston.
Is this as good as the Rick Cairns?
I don't know.
We'll find out.
Richmond.
The Richmond race.
No idea.
And we
whatever NASCAR race
is in Richmond
and the gate was open
and we just drove
our regular cars around it.
Really?
And then someone came
and they were pretty
they got pretty mad about it.
What?
How fast were you going?
Not fast at all
because we were
like it was like
there was like
potholes and stuff.
Really?
Yeah. A little run down. Maybe that's why it was like potholes and stuff. Really? Yeah.
A little run down.
Maybe that's why it was open.
I'll be honest with you.
Maybe it wasn't that one.
The Richmond Raceway?
I feel like it was a lot smaller.
I don't – maybe –
It was just like a track around a football field.
I was in someone's driveway.
I was like –
maybe that's what they get.
It was a family.
You know what?
That was a family that ran out.
You know what it turns out?
Someone's house.
It wasn't that exciting.
Maybe.
What's the largest crowd you've ever played in front of?
Knoxville?
Yeah, probably 100-something, 105 maybe.
That's a lot.
That's crazy.
But you don't even hear it.
Like, it's like.
Dude, it's tunnel vision.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it gets so loud that you're just screaming in the huddle
and you just hope that everyone hears you.
When the receivers take off running a little bit early,
is that a sign we're not a part of this play?
It's either a sign that they don't care and they're not a part of the play
or it's going the other way.
Or most of the time, they only need to hear a part of the play, it's going the other way. Or they heard – most of the time, they only need to hear like one piece of the play.
Like they don't care about the protection.
They need to hear the formation and then whatever their piece is.
Yeah.
And if they hear that piece, they're like, all right, I'm out.
Yeah.
Don't care what else is what happens.
You always see it as like how funny it would be like, God, why are they stopping us?
You're like, hey, guys, I don't know, maybe the receivers.
Don't take off running. Basically, they walk away and they go it's time i've been in
huddles where you you said the play and the receiver just walks to the sideline because
he's not getting up all he's like i'm out get somebody get somebody else in here and then
you're like but we need so part of it is like they don't know maybe you're part of it that's
the trick and then they just because you always see them run off.
Yeah.
Would you see it at any game?
Like would you notice us?
Because we'd just be us up there.
Just four of us up there waiting.
Just me and Brian.
Jay.
Jay.
A couple parents.
Yeah.
Was it a bigger jump from high school to SEC or SEC to pro?
High school to SEC.
Yeah.
Yeah. jump from high school to sec or sec to pro uh high school sec yeah yeah yeah because what i mean the thing about the nfl is i mean playing at vandy like you were always i think we talked about this
for a second is you know we had like four good guys maybe five and like the sec school is like
they had 11 dudes that were legit yeah yeah then when i got to the nfl i was like oh well all 11 of
my guys are pretty good.
So, like, it kind of evened out.
It got a little bit – I mean, I'm not going to say easier, but it was just –
Yeah, well –
It was a more level playing field.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I get – I see the shock of the high school to SEC.
And then the shock of SEC to – you saw – you played against those people.
And then you're like, yeah, and that's true.
I never thought of that, where you're like, yeah, well, my 11 guys are just as good as your 11 guys.
So you're at least like, you know, it's quicker and stuff like that.
But it's, did you.
Sounds like the jump from Vandy to other SEC teams was the biggest gap.
That was a big gap.
Yeah.
That was a gap.
Yeah.
I mean, you got, yeah.
I mean, it was tough.
You'd get sacked a ton.
And it was just, I mean, I remember you getting just killed in some stuff.
But we did good.
I got a DVD.
I'm going to get you to sign this DVD of the 2006.
I watch it every night.
Repeat.
Yeah, just repeat.
Puts me to sleep.
You want to watch it?
Love to.
Yeah, just me and Jay.
He's like, all right, I got to get out of here, man.
What else about Indiana?
Two of the greatest sports films
ever came from Indiana.
Hoosiers.
Hoosiers and Rudy.
Rudy.
Hoosiers about
Bumpkin family.
1954 Indiana State Championship

know find out what right there's a love story in it.
There's a couple
broken families.
Y'all watch this in school?
Yeah.
Would they show it to y'all
in like elementary school?
Yeah.
This is part of
graduating sixth grade.
That's how you get out.
Yeah.
Do you want to go
to middle school?
You have to watch Hoosiers
and you have to
give a report on it.
And it better be good.
And it better be.
If not, you're taking sixth grade again.
Yeah.
What was the other movie?
Rudy.
Rudy.
Oh, that's right.
You think Hoosiers is better than Rudy?
I mean, I did.
I thought they were both great.
Rudy's probably my second favorite.
Well, when you look into it, Rudy, and you're like,
wasn't it like the real story of Rudy's like?
It's not great.
You can't do that with any of these movies, though.
Yeah, but Hoosiers is a made-up movie.
Okay. So that's what I with any of these movies, though. Yeah, but Hoosiers is a made-up movie. Okay.
So that's what I mean.
So the Rudy one is...
No, Hoosiers isn't made up.
No, it's based off a real high school team in Indiana.
Oh.
The 1954 Indiana State...
This is the first I'm hearing about either one of these movies.
What's wrong with Rudy?
What's the real story?
Well, he wasn't...
The story isn't... They say it's not that accurate,
and Rudy was a little bit not that type of guy that he was portrayed as in the movie.
I think about it now, older, if that kid were on my team, I would hate that kid.
Oh, yeah.
Come on, guys.
We're playing Purdue this weekend.
I mean, that would be many.
It's like, shut up, dude.
You're not even supposed to be on this team.
Yeah.
You're not any good.
Yeah.
That would be you if you enrolled at Vandy and finally got in there, though.
Yeah, but to be the voice of – like Rudy was the voice, right?
I think I would know my place, and I would just back off.
And they gave me a shot.
People would be happy.
Like I'd be the – you know, when they throw the kid out there.
You see that Vandy basketball, you always see like the seniors
that have been there the whole time, and they go play.
And again, they get a start. He hauled the goalposts when he was in high school
down west end we beat duke so it's such a funny but we beat south carolina the week before and
it was our first sec win we've had so this was when was that 95 and then so it was our first sec
wins long long history of excellence at vandy. Yes. And so we try to take
the goalposts down that day
but the Titans were playing the next
week so they were like, you can't.
And I mean literally one guy told us
no and we were like, okay. And you guys were like, no problem.
Yeah. I mean, keep them.
Nobody. There was like a guy just
kind of near it. He's like, guys, do you mind? We've got a Titans
game tomorrow. We go, yeah, that makes sense. And then we
all just went home. And then we duke the next week and then we took
it and i remember i was like in high school and i'm carrying it we carry it out of the tunnel and
we take it to some fraternity house and they go just put it in the yard and we laid it down and
then i was like all right and then just it was like they didn't invite me to hang out or anything i was like all
right like i just literally was labor for them i'm 35 years old i was at least in high school
so they're i graduated 97 so uh but they uh yeah it was that it was very funny though to be like
we did against duke and it's crazy too because du because Duke was terrible. And now, I mean, Duke's gotten a lot better.
They're okay.
Yeah.
I used to always say, I always thought our first SEC win would be Alabama because that's how bad Alabama used to be.
Yeah.
And that's always crazy to me because they're so good now.
Yeah, they're a machine.
And it was like before, they were terrible.
And you're like, dude, we could beat Alabama.
Dude, did you beat Alabama?
Or did they already turn? No, they were. They were already turned. They were beat Alabama dude you beat Alabama or they already said turn
they were already turned
they were turned up
it was good
yeah
yeah
them and LSU
like it didn't matter
like offensively
I think they've gotten
a lot better
but defensively
like they had just
animals up front
like their front four
like
where
they had like three
first round picks
every year
it's like where do you guys
keep finding these dudes?
Yeah.
Aliens up here.
When you throw, the mechanics of throwing,
is it just kind of a feel thing?
You're just like, I'll just throw it.
You know what I mean?
Not really.
All right, like in golf.
Try again. Super mechanic. Golf is very mechanical, right? like you're you know what i mean not really so like all right like in golf try again super
mechanic golf is very mechanical right so you got to think of like all these kind of different moves
okay i'll help you here um so a golf swing and hitting a baseball like with your hips yeah and
your and and moving your weight yeah is is a lot like throwing a football okay from from from your
from your your feet up.
Yeah.
Up to probably like here.
Yeah.
And then you have to incorporate your arms and all this stuff.
But from here down, it's not that far off.
Like everyone kind of wants to correlate it to pitching and baseball and stuff,
and it's not even close to that because you're stationary for the most part.
You might take a small step, but you're grounded in the ground where we're baseball coming off a mound like you're getting
momentum and yeah you're and then you're you're basically falling off a hill yeah and football
throwing football is not like that at all but it's all it's your legs and stuff it's your legs
it's your hips it's your core like that's where you're generating all your power like this is this is just an extension this is just like a whip yeah so you could get man boobs right now
and go just real super fat up top and just keep nipple below top shape and you could yeah and i
could get some enhancements or something and just then do the whole thing just come in you have to
wear an extra big your your shoulder pads are going to go up a little bit farther
and they're like,
oh God,
here comes Jackie.
But your bottom
is just a rock, dude.
He's throwing it on her neck.
You can still spin it.
Yeah, he's like,
dude, he's good.
He's good.
Look at him.
He's got some boobs,
but he looks fine.
He leaves his shirt on
when we go in.
It's 2021.
Yeah.
Everybody's cool with it.
It's perfectly fine. Everybody's cool with it. It's perfectly fine.
Everybody's cool with it.
All right.
That's what I'm...
All right.
Another movie set in Indiana, Christmas Story.
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
Set in Holman, Indiana.
I met the guy.
Which guy?
The kid.
The main kid.
Ralphie?
Ralphie.
Yeah.
He might be moving here.
Why?
I don't know.
He's a... What does he do know. He's a...
What does he do now?
He looks like John Hefferon a little bit.
Yeah, the other...
God, is it him?
No, yeah.
Is he an attorney?
Yeah.
No, there was another guy.
The kid from Goonies is an attorney.
Yeah.
Entertainment.
Entertainment attorney, yeah.
He's a good lawyer.
Entertainment lawyer.
But he's the fat kid from Goonies.
Huh.
Yeah.
They get out of acting and then they get into like, you know,
still somewhat in the entertainment world.
He's a good Goonies fat kid.
Truffle Shuffle.
And that's him there.
We used to chant Truffle Shuffle at Fat Kids.
Huh?
The student section in high school basketball games,
if a fat kid had the ball on the other team,
we would chant truffle shuffle at them.
It was a good time.
How'd you feel about it?
I mean, now I reflect back and I think, wow, I was so immature.
Did they ever point at you and they go?
I had the safety of a mob at the time.
I wouldn't stand in there by myself.
God, call me kind of black here. There you go. I wouldn't stand in there by myself. I'd call the kind of black here.
I mean.
Come on.
Come on.
Just a leader.
Look in the mirror.
Just a team.
Okay, now we're making fun of fat people.
Yeah.
Did anyone ever ask you for your autograph in high school?
No.
You didn't meet Brian.
Who did you ask for?
Carlos Gros.
He's like,
who was he?
He played basketball
in Tennessee.
He played basketball
in Tennessee.
And you asked him
for his autograph
in high school?
Yeah.
What did he say?
I mean,
he reluctantly did it.
His buddies made fun of him.
I didn't care.
I was like,
hey, give it to me.
What'd you do with it? They were classmates fun of him. I didn't care. I was like, hey, give it to me. Yeah, they were like. What'd you do with it?
They were classmates, I believe.
I mean, I'm about the same age.
So like in English class, you're like, hey.
Yeah.
Carlos.
We weren't at the same high school.
Oh, yeah.
How did you find him?
He came to our school to play.
I approached him with my magazine.
Which I'm going to do with you after this podcast.
Yeah.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Yeah, thanks.
Indiana's had one president, six vice presidents.
Who's the president?
Benjamin Harrison.
Oh, yeah.
He was an exciting one.
One of our better ones.
Lasted 30 days, right?
32 days?
No, not him.
That's the first time I'm hearing about him.
Big president guy.
Was that William Henry Harrison?
Maybe.
Pence was the last VP, I take it.
Yeah, six VPs.
Dan Quayle before Pence.
I feel like that does a good VP.
That's a good state of y'all in Indiana where you're like,
look, we ain't trying to be all up in everybody's business.
We're good at what we do.
Happy to be second.
Happy to be number two.
Yeah, number two.
Their nickname is second best Miami Dolphin from Santa Claus.
Boom, boom.
Team player.
Indiana's nickname, one of their nicknames is mother of vice Dolphin from Santa Claus. Boom. Boom. Team player. Yeah.
Indiana's nicknames, one of their nicknames is Mother of Vice Presidents.
Never heard that.
Oh, the Mother of, oh.
Because there's so many.
Yeah, because there's six of them.
I don't know.
They're getting a little crazy there.
I mean, do we lead the country in vice presidents? I think there was a period back in the 1800s where every election there was a vice president
for Indiana.
They didn't have a lot of names for people.
Largest Christmas tree in the world is in Indianapolis.
Really?
What about the New York one?
Or live one?
I don't know.
I just make this stuff up.
I got you.
Oh, because it's in the middle of the square road?
They do it in Santa Claus.
Why don't y'all do that?
I think there's more than one Santa Claus.
Is there?
In the U.S.
That's not fun. Santa Claus in the U.S. I'm guessing.
That's not fun.
Santa Claus cities.
How many towns?
It said the question at the top.
Oh.
Three.
Boom. I knew I was right.
Never mind.
I'll follow up.
Indiana, Georgia, Arizona.
But the one in Arizona is a ghost town.
They got abandoned in 95.
That's a ghost town.
It's a town that's just not a town anymore.
Wait, so where is Santa Fe, Indiana?
Because that seems to be the problem here.
Found in 1840.
Oh, at Santa Fe.
The name changed two years later to Santa Claus
to avoid confusion with another Indiana town of the same name.
Yeah, so I'm saying, so is there a Santa Fe, Indiana currently? or two years later to Santa Claus to avoid confusing with another Indiana town of the same name.
Yeah.
So I'm saying,
so is there a Santa Fe,
Indiana currently?
I think there's another one.
It's in Miami County,
Indiana.
Yeah.
That's a big confusing place.
It's just getting more.
A lot of places in Indiana named where you think like a, there's a Mexico,
Indiana.
Yeah.
It's right there.
Kokomo.
Kokomo.
Yeah. So what's a, so a ghost town. I right there kokomo kokomo yeah so what's a so a
ghost town i think i was gonna start i don't know what a ghost town is santa fe i'm from like can
you go to a ghost town like is it like no one lives there like out west like towns that came
up really fast during like the gold rush and stuff and then and you could just go walk around there
i mean i think it's tourist sites now but i think i would think you can't go live you could just be
like i'm gonna make this my town.
Yeah, I don't think so.
I don't know.
Why would you not?
Yeah, I mean, they're just old buildings.
If you want to live there, I'm sure no one's going to stop you.
Why don't we go start a town?
I follow...
There's a guy on YouTube I follow who bought an old abandoned mining town in Colorado.
Bought it, moved in.
He's just trying to renovate it.
Mr. Beast?
Make it his own little town. No, it's not him. He's just trying to renovate it. Mr. Beast? Make it his own little town.

In the chat on Roblox?
Playing Adopt Me?
How's his ghost town going these days?
I mean, I haven't checked in on him in a while.
He was trying to get internet going.
He was struggling for a while.
He was trying to really do what?
He was trying to move in.
If you make it a real salon,
people would go stay there.
But didn't worry about water, electricity.
He was like, I need internet.
It's a major thing.
When you go to the bathroom,
he goes, ah, dadgummit.
He just sits there and goes.
We got Wi-Fi, though.
Yeah, he goes, I don't know, look it up.
You can look up how to make bathrooms.
Then they go.
The Batesville Casket Company is located in Batesville, Indiana?

Well, he's probably wondering why I'm talking about a casket company.
I was.
I think everybody is.
No, I definitely was wondering why that was on the list.
It was a Batesville podcast.
Yeah, but the Batesville podcast made fun of this show.
I don't think anybody was at home going.
No one except maybe Jay, who I bet probably didn't know that.
He didn't know that.
I don't think I didn't know that.

Y'all don't have like
Indiana meetings or something?
I mean, yeah, no.

This definitely could spark it.
What would y'all do?
Where would y'all do the meeting?

Oh, yeah?
That's fun.
The Mammoth and something else.
I forgot.
Yeah.
You don't know both, haven't you?
Yeah, we had season passes.
We would just like ride our bikes up there.
Oh, yeah, and just get to go all day long.
Yeah, just...
I know, those days.
They were the best.
Yeah.
Unlimited coke.
Were you on a highway?
Was it on a major highway?
There was no major highways.
Where is this park at?
Just in someone's backyard?
It's a big park.
It's literally right next to Christmas Lake Village.
Oh, so it's kind of down?
No, there's no highway.
This is a two-lane road.
Yeah.
Young Jay and his friends are on their bicycles in the middle of the road
and just swing off in there.
I mean, if he can figure out the map thing, we might have a job.
It's so funny to think about the days of your parents could send you to a theme park.
Yeah.
And you go, how are we going to get there?
We're going to ride a bike on a road.
Yeah.
And we'll be back maybe 15 hours.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it was okay.
Here, give us the satellite.
No one even knows what this thing is anymore.
Wildebeest and Mammoth were the two world's
longest water coasters.
It's the world's first theme park.
Oh, the world's first theme park?
According to them.
Oh, according to them?
Yeah, I googled it and some different answers there.
There's some debates.
But the guy started it because he went to Santa Claus, Indiana
and there was nothing Santa Claus-like fun.
Yeah, so I mean, if you follow my cursor here,
this is the exit out of Christmasmas lake village like you just drive up here or we would
go actually we would kind of cut through the woods back in here and hit this like country road and
just ride our bikes and then you just go actually you go down here and then just you just ride in
there yeah and then you're in holiday world yeah you go through with and then you just ride in there. Yeah. And then you're in Holiday World.
Yeah.
You go through with your little pass.
Like, all this is a parking lot.
Oh, that's cool.
All this is a parking lot.
Yeah.
So you just park your bike right here at the ticket thing,
show them your season pass, and you're –
How fun is that?
You're five minutes from a roller coaster.
What a fun childhood.
Unlimited Coke at Holiday World.
I remember that.
You get a cup, and there's just drink dispensers all over the place.
Super healthy.

Gary, Indiana.
Not a place you want to go.
Gary's a fun town.
Yeah.
A lot of fun things happening up there.
We would take a train from South Bend to Chicago, and it stops in Michigan City in Gary.
And you can just kind of feel it.
When the train stops, you're like, what happened?
Like a chill goes through you.
It's just a it's a dark

John Mellencamp.
Yeah.
Born in Seymour.
I can remember when he was John Cougar Mellencamp.
Why did he get rid of that?
What happened?
Did you ever know him as John Cougar Mellencamp?
I mean, a lot of people did.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Why did he change?
Well, I think his real name is John Mellencamp.
I think he started calling himself John Cougar because he didn't think Mellencamp was a good rock name.
And then he went John Cougar Mellencamp, and then he finally come full circle and just
went back to John Mellencamp.
I think he just sort of went John Cougar.
Yeah.
John Cougar would have been a great name.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you ever have a nickname in football?
No.
Cuddy?
Did you ever want one?
Cuddy?
Yeah.
Kid Cuddy?
Everybody would call him Cuddy
did you ever see those
memes of you with a cigarette
and the
how fun are those
super fun
right
yeah
yeah they are
just promoting cigarettes
didn't Aaron Rodgers do one
didn't Aaron Rodgers do one
just kind of
making fun of that meme
don't know
I don't know
but it was very
it was a very funny
but you know what you always
think about
that is the most comfortable way
everybody holds their.
Oh, I think he's just doing a signal.
Oh, okay.
Like we had that signal too.
It's either smoke or probably a drag slam.
There's no telling what it is.
I always think holding your pads though, very comfortable.
That is.
You know, you always see like cops do that.
They're bulletproof vests. It's super comfortable it is yeah unless you had a hand warmer those are fun right i bet those are good would you do a hand warmer no loved a good hand
and we had hand warmers for when it rained it had like this wick drying like stuff in it yeah
and those are cool i like those you, when you put your feet
in those heater things,
does that really help?
Oh, super hot.
Really?
Oh yeah.
Those things are,
you get to a point
where if you sit there
long enough,
like you have to put
like a towel down
and sit on them.
Oh.
Because they're hot.
Is it like when you're
playing that cold,
is it the worst
or is it?
I liked it.
Yeah.
Because everything's slow.
Everyone's slow.
Yeah.
Everything slows down.
Like the defensive line's slow.
I mean, you have to just keep your hands so warm.
Yeah, you just don't feel it, really.
You just kind of get out there.
Would you wear – you ever go short sleeve?
No, I'm not an idiot.
Yeah.
But the linemen would, right?
Wasn't that like a point of pride?
Yeah, some do.
No, I didn't.
I was like, I need to be – I went to a point where I bought –
Wear a coat?
You know what I mean?
Swing out of a parka.
Just paint my number on this, guys.
He's bulking up a little bit.
He's got just a big starter jacket underneath it.
He's just out there throwing.
We bought like three-quarter sleeve wetsuits.
Oh, wow.
Tops.
Oh, that's pretty smart.
And wore the...
Tom Brady, I think,
was probably one of the first ones
that did it.
And then I heard about it
and we bought some
from a company from California.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And scuba gear, basically?
Yeah.
And it was awesome.
Like you...
You feel fine.
You feel fine.
And you can throw
and everything?
You had to make sure
that it wasn't too thick
like the millimeters
and stuff wasn't too thick
but it worked great.
That's pretty smart.
Yeah.
Tom,
smart guy.
Jim Gaffigan
reported Indiana
played football
at Purdue
then transferred
to Georgetown
played there.
Didn't know that.
I didn't know they had
a football team in Georgetown.
I did not know that either.
According to this.
25% of the U.S.'s popcorn comes from Indiana.
Did you know?
There could be more.
Did you know?
I just figured this out because my farm in Kentucky, we're doing it.
There's a certain corn that you plant that actually is popcorn.
Oh, really?
Yeah. There's popcorn certain corn that you plant that actually is popcorn. Oh, really? Yeah.
There's popcorn corn.
Yeah.
And then there's just regular like corn on the cob and then there's different.
I didn't know that.
You can just put whatever you want out there.
Apparently.
Yeah.
Because we had corn and we leased it out and I was like, they're like, it's popcorn.
I was like, what do you mean?
Yeah.
Like, well, this is specifically for popcorn.
I was like,
really?
Like what's,
why can't they just regular corn?
Like,
no,
like this is popcorn.
This is popcorn.
I was like,
okay,
we got popcorn.
And it pops.
I guess it's like pop,
more poppable.
You put it in a bag.
It just pops.
And shove it in the bag.
And then you go microwave it.
Microwave it,
yeah.
Imagine somebody,
you go to their house and they're like, you want to get some popcorn?
He's like, yeah. You go walk on his field, you're like,
I don't know if I want it anymore, dude. He's like,
nah, we're good. We'll get it.
You're like, alright. It pops the
seed or the corn?
I don't understand the question. I don't understand
really what's happening.
It's making corn,
but I thought popcorn is,
don't you pop the seat
yeah
the kernel
the kernel
so they're planning things
to get the kernels
how does that even work
we had a long debate
about how
why popcorn's yellow
one time
I think
they must dry it out
they have to dry it out
right
it has to go through
some sort of
like you get woken up at night
just hearing
pop pop pop pop pop
and you're like oh god probably during the day when the sun's out if it gets too hot out yeah It has to go through some sort of... Like you get woken up at night just hearing pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
And you're like, oh, God.
Probably during the day when the sun's out.
If it gets too hot out.
Yeah.
Oh, I need the cloud cover to come over.
It's burnt.
Here we go.
Growing popcorn.
Give it to us.
It's easier than you think.
I mean, it just takes a little extra space in your garden.
Oh.
They might have lied to me.
Like, I might just have regular corn out there.
Not all corn pops
okay so variety matters it's a special variety of corn take a shot with that i'll be honest with you
i'm hoping that they lied to you yeah at this point i hope that they just said i just told them
there's popcorn what let this idiot talk about it they go they get you know they're like should
you tell them the truth you go where, where is he going to say it?
I don't even know.
I don't know who would hear him say that.
You could tell everybody.
Why would he talk about this?
Why would he, where would he ever talk about this publicly?
Yeah.
You get trapped in an Indiana conversation.
That's how you get.
He's in Kentucky.
Is this where you hunt?
Yeah.
You get there real fast.
Yeah.
Quicker than you think.
Some TV shows set in Indiana. Stranger Things. Fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. Yeah. Quicker than you think. Some TV shows set in Indiana.
Stranger Things set in the fictional
town of Hawkins, Indiana.
Parks and Recreation set in the fictional town
of Pawnee, Indiana.
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
set in the fictional town of Durnsville,
Indiana. A lot of fictional towns in Indiana.
Why don't they do a real town? I think because
it just represents just middle America
in a way.
The middle, set in the fictional town of Orson, Indiana.
0 for 4.
Yeah.
Season one of the Jeff Foxworthy show was set in Bloomington, Indiana.
Yeah.
It's really.
It's a real town.
Then they changed it.
It went from ABC to NBC and they put them in Georgia.
Wanted to make it more southern did they explain that
in the show
or are they just in Georgia
I think they just started off
the next episode
I think they started
dipping and stuff
Haley Joel Osment
was his son
everybody figured it out
they go
he just
he just
first scene
he's got
he's popping a can
and you go
oh let's move this
to Georgia
they go
and they never
addressed it
they never like really have to say it they go everybody gets it you know Hooch of Georgia. They go to South and get skinned. They never addressed it.
They never like really have to say it.
They go,
everybody gets it.
You know,
who,
Damon Wayans,
his sitcom,
his daughter changed
in the,
remember,
was it Damon Wayans?
He had a great sitcom
and I think it was Damon.
The Wayman Brothers?
The Wayman Brothers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Damon had a sitcom on like CBS. Oh, just him? Or somethingman Brothers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damon had a sitcom on CBS.
Oh, just him?
Or something.
It was like his family.
It was like a family sitcom.
And so his daughter changed.
They just didn't address it?
In the middle of it.
She walked downstairs and he goes,
God, you look different today.
And then they just kept going.
It was very good.
It was just like we all address it and then we moved on.
Remember, yeah, the Fresh Prince, the mom changed in the middle of the show.
I don't think they ever addressed it.
Never say anything.
Yeah, you shouldn't.
Yeah, you're just like everybody gets it.
You're like, they get it.
They'll figure it out.
It's still the mom.
The Miss Pat show was just renewed for season two.
Miss Pat's real life hometown in Plainfield, Indiana.
She's from Plainfield?
Know that place? Is Miss Pat like the comedian Miss Pat? Yeah life, hometown in Plainfield, Indiana. She's from Plainfield? Know that place?
Is Miss Pat like a comedian?
We mentioned it earlier.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yep.
Don't know that one.
First professional baseball game was played in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
There you go.
Could you have played any other sport?
Maybe baseball.
Did you play baseball in high school?
Aren't you all state in basketball too? in high school? Aren't you All-State in basketball too?
In high school?
I think so.
He's all everything?
I was getting Carlos Groves' autograph,
and he didn't even know if he made All-State.
Yeah.
Well, because you're just like –
I figure if you're an athlete, you can make it to the NFL.
You could probably play.
All of them could kind of play.
Could LeBron play in the NBA?
Like, I mean, the NFL?
I don't think so.
You don't?
No.
Like, he's not going to be a tight end.
He's enormous, though, and so fast.
I mean, it'd be interesting to see what happens.
He could figure it out.
Like, you guys could all figure it out.
I think he'd figure it out.
You know, getting hit is different with that position.
Like, you're going to get hit. You're going to get smoked a few times. Like you're going to get hit.
You're going to get smoked a few times.
And you're going to get hit like looking at the ball.
Every game.
Yeah.
You know, he's one of the most impressive athletes ever to play any sport.
Yeah.
So athletically, he can figure it out.
He just has to be willing to get hit.
It's a lot to get hit.
Yeah, it's not fun.
It's not fun.
And you're getting hit by the strongest person ever.
Yeah, you're getting hit by –
Who hit the hardest?
Is it just a mix?
Do any stand out or is it just –
I mean, they all suck.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's about the same.
You ever get –
Did any of them ever you go like,
that wasn't that bad?
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
I mean, there's sometimes like you get some guys
and it's like, oh, he took care of me.
Instead of just smoking you,
they'll kind of like wrap you up. Yeah. Kind down he's like hey thanks bud hey appreciate it you're
like that's when you when he walks away and we always see you hit the other guy you're like hey
man i really appreciate it i appreciate i bet there is a nice that's like a class yeah a little
nice class that he goes like dude this dude could have rocked my world oh could have and he just
went down i'll go down too i'm'm not going to try to fight you.
Yeah.
And then it's called a day.
We're all good here.
We're all good.
Let's go to the next play.
Yeah.
Did you ever get hit by Brian Urlacher?
Was he still?
I played.
Yeah.
We played in Chicago when I was in Denver my third year.
So that, yeah, when he was in Chicago.
When y'all both were on Chicago, they would never.
No, no, no.
You don't ever get hit by your own team.
No. In practice. No. That's whyall both were on Chicago, they would never. No, no, no. You don't ever get hit by your own team. No.
In practice.
No.
That's why as a quarterback, you just get to do.
Yeah.
That's why they're also kind of like, hey, like you.
They're kind of like a prima donna.
It's like, hey, you never hit anybody in practice.
Yeah.
And these guys are out here hitting every single day.
Yeah.
For the most part.
And now.
What was the most you've been sacked in one game?
I want to say we were in New York, and I think it's 10.
I think it's like eight before halftime.
Is it?
Do you?
That might be our record.
Do you ever go back to the line and you're like,
that was like a lot today, guys.
Yeah.
I think that game I was like, hey, bro.
I was like, are we just not doing this today?
Yeah.
We just not.
You just don't want to block. Are we going for the record? Yeah. Are you guys boycotting? Yeah. It didn't tell me. What if they go? Yeah. I was like, are we just not doing this today? We just not. You just don't want to block it.
We going for the record?
Yeah.
Are you guys boycotting?
Yeah.
It didn't tell me.
What if they go?
Yeah.
I would have stayed home.
Yeah.
I didn't need to come out for this.
What do y'all want?
Golf carts?
Don't y'all always have to buy weird?
Y'all don't like the scooters that I got?
I got everybody a scooter.
And y'all go tell me, right?
This is how you're telling me?
You don't like it?
You guys wanted to watch?
You wanted to watch?
You wanted to watch this year.
Just ask for it.
I'm open to that.
Dude, I would love to buy you a watch.
It's too late now, though, huh, guys?
Yeah, yeah.
We're already at eight, Jay.
You might as well do.
If you knew you were at eight sacks,
is the most, what's the most?
You're not the most ever, right?
No.
Maybe four and a half.
Would you ever want to be the,
like if you're like,
what if you find out the most is like 15 sacks
and you're like 14,
you're like, well, I might as well do one more.
14? I wasn't far.
Yeah.
Oh, 14 is the most.
The Giants allowed.
So if you're at 10.
That's 1952.
I know.
Do you ever want to just go like,
let's go for the record?
We're at 13.
You're like, let's give them the record.
Let's give them the record.
The opposite of what Brett Favre did for Michael Strahan.
Yeah.
I mean, all 14 aren't on the quarterback.
You might have a couple in there.
But, like, most of it's on someone blocking.
It's their fault, not yours.
So it's a tough thing.
Yeah.
I remember high school, we were getting destroyed by this team.
And I was playing defensive line.
And the offensive lineman, I landed in front of him.
He goes, hey, dude, it's not coming over here.
So let's just relax. Yeah. I was like yeah i was like thanks dude yeah we just kind of chilled
over there yeah it's probably why we were getting destroyed yeah that kind of attitude but yeah
you're making you're making deals with the opposite team yeah because i did let's just
you want to just chill tell me i'll tell you swear i'll let you know yeah yeah you go back
to him and you're like of course it's coming over here.
Like you're just annoyed with him.
And he's like, oh.
And you're like, I don't know.
I don't know.
It's like you're talking to him like your wife won't let you go do something.
I don't know.
Oh, God.
You know them.
They're coming over here this time.
Yeah.
And then they're like, all right.
I'll try to trip him before he gets here.
One of the worst acts of sportsmanship in high school football history
happened in Indiana.
That's cool, man.
Heritage Hills High School defeated Pike Central 90-0 in football.
And that's the worst?
That's the story?
They don't fight or anything?
That's not true.
That's his story.
I played in that game.
How much is enough is Is it enough, Jay?
Come on.
We were up 90 to nothing and they put –
Wait, you played in that game?
Yes.
He was the team that won 90 to nothing.
Yeah.
The worst sportsman.
He made that part up.
I made that part up.
I was just doing that to see what he would say.
We were up 90 to nothing and I think –
I had been on the bench since halftime.
And this is really bad.
And they're driving down to score.
And they're on like the four-yard line or something.
And all of a sudden I heard, first team defense.
We're up 90 to nothing.
Yeah.
So we all go back in.
First team defense is back in the game.
We stop these guys.
We get the fourth down, and they're trying to kick a field goal.
And we all out block.
Yeah.
And we either blocked it or they missed it, and we won 90-0.
It's so awful.
it's so awful that's it's a mix of like you want to be like yo dude just let us be 90 to zero we're already at zero and they're like but just let us score you're like
i don't think we're already here you know what i mean like if you just scored like in the third
quarter yeah absolutely sure but we gave you a chance yeah you you had you know four quarters
like it's the last 30 seconds.
Nine to nothing feels a lot better than seven.
Yeah, just take a knee.
Yeah.
Do you really need that six points? Did y'all shake hands afterwards?
I'm sure.
I mean, I'm sure the coach probably didn't.
Yeah.
Is that your 2000 season right there?
You won another one 79 to nothing?
Yeah.
Wow.
Did y'all win the state?
Yeah.
Oh.
Wow.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Y'all didn't.
I mean, there was not. Decent season. Zionsville. That's Wow. Yeah. Oh, my God. I mean, there was not –
Decent season.
Zionsville was a tight game.
That's the championship game.
Championship game was a tight one.
That's the championship game.
But other than that, it was 79-0.
I mean, you're already a nightmare team.
Can you remember specifics this far back in games?
I found that sometimes athletes can do that, and it blows my mind.
I remember the Booneville game.
I remember the Tulsa City game a little bit.
The Wooden Memorial game, I returned like three punts for touchdowns.
You did?
Yeah.
There were guys like literally like we watched them.
There were guys like running away from me.
Like they were like, oh, we don't want to do this.
Southridge game was on the road.
I remember that one because that was supposed to be a tough game for us.
North Posey was supposed to be better than that.
We destroyed them.
Tecumseh was a walk.
Gibson Southern.
I mean, yeah, I don't know if we have to go through every one.
You sound like a native town that you're saying.
The South Spencer game.
That was a tough one.
Yeah, I fumbled twice in that game.
That's why.
I had a touchdown run called back, but that was our last race.
What was you doing?
You were quarterback and?
And safety.
Safety.
Yeah.
And then Washington was on, I guess Washington was, I think, no,
Washington was on the road.
Would you throw a lot?
We would throw.
Or is it like basically Jay just run?
20, we started throwing more, 20, 25 times a game.
Yeah.
Mount Vernon beat us year before. We won that more, 20, 25 times a game. Yeah. Mount Vernon beat us here before.
We won that one, obviously.
Whiteland was on the road.
That was a tough game.
Ron Colley was – they were supposed to be the best,
one of the best in the state.
We destroyed them.
27-0.
And then Zionsville, we were up 14 to 21-0 at halftime.
Ooh.
It does not happen.
And they
ended up coming back
and the running back had
I want to say
200 and something yards.
I had like
18 or 20 tackles. The other safety had
like 18 or 20 tackles. We couldn't stop
this team. And they came back
and I threw
a couple picks that game. Didn't play very well. And they came back, and I threw a couple picks that game.
Didn't play very well.
And it was 24 to 20.
No, that's not right.
It was, like, 21-21, and they got the ball and drove down to the 20-yard line,
25-yard line, like three seconds on the clock.
And the freshman kicker missed their missed missed the kick to win
state championship wow went to overtime they had the ball first they kicked the field goal
and then uh we ran one play for from the 10 i guess it was was a rule then no yards and then
we put four dudes out to the right and i think there was one back side and through
like a lateral to the right i stepped back the whole offensive line started going that way and
they threw it back throw back to me and we ran in walked in and yeah game over wow that was your
senior year yeah and you know like it's just like a fun,
is that just like,
do you think back,
is that like your funnest memories?
Yeah.
I mean,
I think high school football
is like the purest.
Like you're just playing
with your friends,
your guys.
Your best friends.
Yeah.
It doesn't get business-y.
No, it doesn't get business-y at all.
Yeah.
I get that.
Like when you do a comedy,
I was thinking about going back to New York.
When I first started comedy in New York,
you're like,
this is not a better time.
I wouldn't want to go back, but it's the best time ever.
Because no one's trying to make it as a career.
I mean, you're all trying to make it,
but you're just like, you're doing it for the love of the thing.
It's like we're just asking each other about joke.
Like, yeah, it's special.
I compare it to you running that.
I have the same thing.
Same thing.
I used to hand out flyers
at the club
same kind of thing
same fill
