I'm excited about it. It's just another comic, another, someone that's funny that I think fits very fun. I'm excited about it. It's just another comic, another someone that's funny that I think fits very well with us. I believe we haven't blurred out right now. And if, I mean, if you're at home, you're trying to guess, you can pause it. If you want to pause it and try to take a shot.

I mean, you think they could, I mean, you don't know who's going to guess. He's appeared on the show before. Aaron, do you want to take a guess? Would you have any idea? could, I mean, you don't know. Who are you going to guess? He's appeared on the show before. Aaron, do you want to take a guess? Would you have any idea? Yeah, I got a pretty good clue.

He's blurred out, Aaron. So how could you see him? Can I guess? Why did you, you took that like it was a real beating. I thought you were, I thought we were going to go play long.

You made it sound like I really just yelled at you. Oh, yeah. I was a cower over here in the corner. You go, I'm sorry. How about that, dude? Huh? Can I guess?

Yeah. I'm going to say it's the guy that used to work with your sister who's the Bigfoot expert. He is. It is. We brought him in. He was great. He was amazing.

Welcome to Nate Land, Dusty Slick. All right all right all right we're having a good time having a good time wow that build-up really had me you know what i mean like yeah i was more nervous about that build-up than going on shows yeah well we're look i think uh uh we're big fans, obviously, and I think you fit well with us. You grew up poorer than all of us, which is nice. Yeah, bring in a real poor aspect to this. A lot of money floating around this table. Yeah. Well, we didn't have money.

Aaron comes from a pretty wealthy family. That's right. He comes from Royals. Yes. And then, but so me and Bates wanted to feel, we wanted to be able to punch down, and we were like, well, who could we get? Yes. Oh, Dusty was in a trailer park.

That's right. I brought food stamps with me this time around just to pass out, just so you knew what they looked like. That's how we're paying them. Full disclosure, I fought against this pretty hard. I just want people to know. I said Dusty's a little too aggressive, I think. Yeah.

Doesn't fit the vibe of this podcast. And I called Aaron and yelled at him. Yeah. yeah we voted and two-thirds were against it but aaron i mean nate was for it so my vote counts more yes luckily but they uh they wanted to vote they voted me out yeah well i'm pumped to be here you know this is fun so it's great man and uh we're excited i think it makes it uh you know it's And, uh, we're excited. I think it makes it, uh, you know, it's, I don't think we're all having another comic on and, uh, you know,

and you got, look, you got big, big shoes to fill. Greg Warren was on last week. He did great. I know. That's why I knew I was joining.

And then Greg Warren has to come in here and crush it. I mean, you know, the whole peanut butter thing, who knew, right? I know. I mean,

I did the same thing with pesticides and i can't turn that into what he's done with peanut butter yeah he did great but to be honest with you less people care about weed and grass killer than they do about peanut butter or peanut butter what is it peter pan he did yeah yeah it was yeah that was a big recall he was allowed yeah when he was in last week i was like god what did I already call Dusty? No, Greg is awesome. I'm very excited to have you, Dusty. So 100 and on.

Let's see. Maybe this will be the thing that. Yeah, it's about to get hot. It's a hot podcast already getting hotter. You know what I mean? It's about to be real hot. I don't know what's hotter. We signed Dusty up for 200 podcasts, but I've only signed up for 50 more. Well, let's get started with the Missouri comments. Josh Hudson. Hey guys, I've binged all the episodes and I'm glad to be listening in real time now. I wanted to drop a

tidbit about the shark that was mentioned in the Missouri episode. There was actually a shark attack in Missouri back in 1996. I will include sources for Nate. I would guess that that could be why there was a shark on display at the wildlife exhibit that was mentioned. Keep up the good work. As a UPS driver, you guys help Wednesday be my best day at work. Well, good for you. Thanks, Josh. Wow. I didn't know that. Missouri is a wild state. There's a lot going on in Missouri.

So they have sharks, apparently. Is this your first time reading this article right now? Yes. Okay. Apparently what happened is these sharks swam all the way up the Mississippi River and ended up in St. Louis. That's quite a hike. From the Gulf. From the Gulf, yeah. Yeah. I feel like people from St. Louis went down, captured sharks, and dropped

it in the Mississippi. That also could be. They wanted pets, and they were like, this is a lot to deal with. That's definitely, it could be 50-50 on that. I mean, I could see that happening just as easy as them making it up. Shark, oh, wow, they show you where, what's the, other's been one? Zero documented shark attacks in the state of tennessee that's encouraging oh oh yeah that's good that feels good uh that is a relief but how is there in illinois i get like i guess i mean look this is the same way they come up the mississippi river right oh went right by mem. They're like, nah. So they don't, yeah. It's too dangerous even for us. Yeah, yeah. Keep going.

Everybody be cool. Yeah. Everybody be cool. I know a guy who got his leg bit off by a shark. You know a guy? Who? From Lebanon. Really?

Yeah, he was in Panama City on his senior trip, and he was out in the ocean, and a shark bit him. This is a guy you went to school with? He's younger than I am. I went to school with his brothers. Okay. And his dad. I went to school with his grandfather.

His dad's not much older than I am, I'll say that. His whole leg? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, that. Yeah. That's crazy. It was like national news. Like all the way up to the hip.

Craig Hutto was his name. This was late 90s, early 2000s. Wow. Oh, yeah. And his brothers went to high school with you? His older brothers did. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. How old was this guy? Yeah, I'm just trying to figure it all out. I think he was on his senior trip in high school. Yeah. Yeah. How old was this guy? Yeah, I'm just trying to figure it all out. I think he was on his senior trip in high school. Wow. Yeah, wow. That's crazy. I mean, that was like, yeah, that was big news.

It was huge news. Yeah. Is he still there? I don't know what he's doing now. He has an artificial leg. Honestly, not the worst thing that can happen in Panama City. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Yeah. In a lot of ways. Even for him that weekend. Yeah, it could have saved that can happen in Panama City. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. In a lot of ways. Even for him that weekend. Yeah, it could have saved him some trouble down the road. He went to the hospital, avoided some other stuff. Yeah. That is true. A drug addiction.

You're saying he's lucky. Yeah. Yeah. He's lucky that it happened. I feel like they should be the mayor of Lebanon. Yeah, that's probably the front page of the Lebanon Times. His uncle is the mayor. Oh. Of Wilson County. Of Wilson County. Yeah. Yeah, that's probably the front page of the Lebanon Times. His uncle is the mayor. Oh.

Of Wilson County. Of Wilson County. Yeah. Well, he's on his way. Yeah. I mean, he's like, because it's like a real guy that battles. I hope he runs for mayor and he runs hard against sharks. Yeah.

That's his main campaign. That's his main campaign. No sharks in Lebanon. No sharks in Lebanon. Keep Tennessee shark attacks at zero. Zero. Yeah. Yeah, frame the sharks in Lebanon. Keep Tennessee shark attacks at zero. Zero, yeah. Yeah, frame the other guy as like some business shark. And I've dealt with sharks.

What about- Big shark. What is that? So New York, is that Pennsylvania? Yeah, Pennsylvania's got one or two. Maybe where? From the Great Lakes or something? Or what's above that?

Maybe I think you- Is it totally landlocked here? It looks like a little sliver's got some water. That's all they need. That's all you need. That's all they need. They'll find a hole. They find...

Yeah. They get... What about alligator attacks? Look up what states. Because... All right. That's fun. Brittany Sawyer. I think we should let guest episodes

just be about the guests and do more state episodes like Rhode Island. All right, yeah, Brittany, well, now we've filled this little guest spot. So now it's going to be a lot of just, you know. Jump right into Rhode Island right now. Yeah. Yeah, we do need to do, we can just go through states now.

People love the states, and they don't like it when we veer off, talk about other stuff. Yeah. Well, I mean, I can't help. Sometimes it veers off. But, I mean, we said we'd have Greg back from Missouri Part 2. I'm sure somebody will bail out here. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Someone will work out. Probably Dusty, but... Yeah. We're trying to funnel someone out. And y'all can... That's the next guest. Figure out who that is.

Episode 101. We're back to three. We gave it a try. Wally Gustafson. Gustafson. I bet it's Gustafson. Wally Gustafson. And they was bet it's gustafson wally gustafson and he was talking about how he had trouble going to the bathroom and someone stood next to him in public restrooms in college i had a buddy that if we went into a restroom and there was only one guy using the restroom

in a line of open urinals he wouldn't stand next to the guy he would get in line behind him i mean i understand even not being able to use it with one guy like if he gets in your head about it and that's so funny to stand behind him could you imagine if you had it to yourself and then a guy comes in and stands behind you and you're like yo buddy yeah it's like don't put it on me now now i can't pay yeah i don't know why this guy's behind me yeah just, just wait. Like fake wash your hands. Yeah. Or do something in there. Start writing a letter.

I don't understand why every bathroom doesn't have the dividers in between. I'm in the airport the other day, and there's still a bunch of open urinals. And not even the one that you can get real close to. It's like a half trough. Was it O'Hare? It was. Charlotte. Charlotte's like a half trough. Was it O'Hare? It was. Charlotte. Charlotte.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I thought, I can't remember if O'Hare did. Yeah, it's crazy. Some of these, we talked about it last week. But at an airport, I think I've seen it too, like you said. And that's absurd.

They should be ashamed of themselves. I mean, this is 2022. It's like a little bit of a toilet right there. Yeah. That you got to aim for. Let me at least least get up put my whole body up in there oh you touch the urinal well you get close you get close yeah it wouldn't take much for you to hit it yeah yeah a little push and i'd be right up in there i mean your sleeves and everything you just get get rag, I had an accident

washing my hands. You just got wet. Just a square. Just a square on your shirt. The literal shape of your urinal is just on your pants and shirt. There you go. You get all the way up.

I got a little shy bladder here, guys. I got to get all the way up. Don't mind me boys take it off my shirt what's is so this alligator text these are fatal alligator attacks and it looks like they've only occurred in the southeast well fatal alligator attacks they have not found their way up to the rest of the country why is it painted like that. I think it's just an artistic decision. So what's the green, though?

What do you mean, the green? Is that green? You're talking about blue? No, no. The little, like next to the blue is a bunch of green spots. I forgot you were a little colorblind. Yeah, what color is that? That's more like a dark red kind of maroon color.

What is that? I don't know. Sorry. Why would they put that in of a map? Is there a grid don't know i'll dig into this a little more i thought we were just looking for broad strokes here i didn't know we wanted to dive in i think there's been some that have been farther up i think the most happened i'll read the scientific study red seems worse than the yellow there it is right there yeah Yeah. There's the colors. Yeah. We still don't understand. We got the label here.

I don't understand. That's just the non-native H-C. The other map was so good. The other map was so good. What is an H-U-V? I don't know. I'll look into all this. Sorry, everybody.

Hayden Kane. Hello, folks. I attend the University of Central Missouri, and our mascot was a mule. The boy sports teams were the mules, and the girl sports teams were called the Jennys. Never knew why we had such a lame mascot until now. Also funny that Nate said all the other state animals die off when mules are the only ones who are sterile and rely on donkeys and horses to continue to populate. Love the show.

Keep up the great work. I don't mind that Jenny's name for the girls. I think that's kind of fun. Is that what a female mule is? A Jenny? It's his sister. I did not. No, yeah, I imagine it has to be.

But Jenny's is kind of a cool name. Yeah, mules. The mules. I didn't know a mule was a cross between a horse and a donkey. Oh, yeah. But I looked it up, and they can't breed because they have 63 chromosomes. Yeah, they're sterile. Oh, yeah.

So. I don't know how many chromosomes you have to have to mate. Well, I didn't either. A horse has 64, and a donkey has 62. Yeah. Oh. Oh. You would think the donkey. A female donkey is and a donkey has 62. Yeah. Oh. No. You would think the donkey.

A female donkey is called a Jenny, by the way. Yeah. Yeah, we kind of took that from the. Well, I just wanted to confirm it. Well, I'd be pretty surprised. It's like the men's team is the mules and the girls' team is Jenny. She's like, is that a female donkey? You're like, no.

Nothing to do with donkeys. They're called Karens. All right. We went on another route. No alligator? Yeah, I've got a breakdown. They made it in Oklahoma. Oh, that's good.

This is better. This is just in 2016. I mean, we can look at other years, but this is a pretty good year. We've got all the fatal animal attacks. That's not for just that year. That's up until then. Yeah. I don't know how you do that.

You're not doing it. Never mind. I don't know how you know that. You're not doing it. Never mind. I went to the Oklahoma Zoo with Justin Smith, and they said there was an alligator attack up there. If there was 128 fatal shark attacks in one year, that'd be a big deal. Maybe it wasn't fatal. You're right, Brian. Yeah.

Yeah, I think we'd have heard about that. The year of the shark, 128 people died. Half in Missouri. Yeah. And then he goes, no, I don't remember them talking about that. Peanut butter and potato chips comments. Madison Hill, I'm worried episode 99 with Greg could bring the whole podcast down. Greg reminded us how entertaining it is to listen to someone share on a topic

they actually know about, have real life stories, and know the inside secrets we never knew. It's going to be tough to go back to a topic filled with Google research, random tangents, and no personal stories. I'm here for it, though. Wow. She's right. Yeah.

Robin Gordson Wilcox. Nate's saying he bought into Dippin' Dots' sink line and hooker. And wanting to be their spokesperson is the perfect ending to the episode, in which he also admits to not knowing what Procter & Gamble is, as well as not understanding how stocks work. Just when I think this podcast couldn't get any better, they proved me wrong by topping themselves. Sink line

and hooker. I actually didn't even catch that. I was just thinking, like, I'm into Dippin' Dots too. I do like them. Yeah, they're good. I didn't notice it at the time. No, nobody. I was, it was the very end of the podcast, and I was looking down for one more to throw out, but yeah.

Yeah, seems like a lot of people brought that up. Sink line and hookers. Yeah. I don't know if anyone's ever said that before. Yeah. No one's ever said civilian station. This one maybe. Well, that just feels like, honestly, that feels like you're really into it.

You know? I mean, I know the real one, but I mean, even that one's like, you're even more into it. Yeah. Sink. Sink. the kitchen sink like all of it really get right in there what is the same hook line and sinker hook line and it's a fishing metaphor yeah now this is no longer about fishing yeah yeah someone yeah we might make

some sink line and hooker t-shirts. Yeah, I'd love it. Chase House. I love this week's episodes. I personally work for Frito-Lay as a route sales representative. According to Greg, we are the money company, and I'm here to tell you we are. We have four different brands that sell over a billion dollars a year, Fritos, Cheetos, Doritos, and L's, and that's all just your regular flavors. That's not even – they're not even trying.

He's like, we're not even scratching the surface. We're not even – that's our just main – that's money in the bank. These other low-level companies can only ever fight for second place in a battle for snack food supremacy. If you want a taste of greatness, I can hook you up with samples of all flavors available. Wow. We can be our own test market. See, this is how they get you right here. He's doing exactly what Greg said they did.

Yep. Yeah. We'll send you some free stuff if you want. Yeah. And it's working, to be honest with you. It's working. I would love some free samples. Yeah. Well well that is what

they do in the pesticide world because i think he knows there i was always fighting for a second tell you what i would love he's like aaron we already sent you yeah aaron i don't think i had to go that tell you what i'd love to try some. What do you guys have? Now, Greg says, Jif got too much publicity last week, so Skippy did a hit job and brought out this recall. Oh, that's true. That's true, yeah.

What were you saying? You were second? Well, you know, yeah, when the big companies, I mean, they always send out the free samples. I was fighting for second in pesticides, you know, and we don't have free samples to give out. Even second place doesn't.

Yeah, well, we're fighting for it. We don't even know if we were in there. I would have like some mosquito wipes or something like that, but people are looking for the good stuff. You just like if someone sees you driving around in your truck with a mosquito on the top of it, and then he goes, you got any free stuff? You just open your glove box, start shoving. Well, I wish I had a truck with a mosquito on the top of it. He goes, you ain't free stuff. You just open your glove box, start shoving.

Well, I wish I had a truck with a mosquito on top. We had outdoor events, and the big company would have a grill, grilling out hot dogs. They had a 50-foot inflatable ant. And I had a little, you know, some mosquito wipes. You know, I'm like, oh, hey. And a pencil. And I'm sweating, you know and i look bad i picture

a dusty like a third grade science fair with that trifold poster you just got one of those set up there a little diorama exactly that says i don't know why i'm out here yeah yeah uh riff quantum quantum that's a fun last scientific riff quantum i hope he's a scientist yeah i once stayed in columbus ohio ohio another test town in the usa while on tour with a band or he's in a band rough riff quantum that's also a good band it is a great guitar name too riff yeah uh the locals were told us that living in a test town can be a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because you get a constant flow of new candies, chips, soft drinks, and fast food restaurants to try, in addition to the regular ones that everybody has.

However, it is also a curse because sometimes you can end up falling in love with a certain food item only for it to fail the test and never be seen again. Ooh, that's true. Can you imagine just you're like, what happened? It's like the Chili Cheese Burrito, Taco Bell. What happened to that? It's gone. For a while, you could maybe, I would ask.

I don't even ask anymore because it's embarrassing you go in and you know. The people that would have even seen the Chili Cheese Burrito at Taco Bell are dead. But they used to be able to like, you could find a place randomly on the road that'd be like, they haven't got the- The word. The email.

They haven't got the letter that said we're shutting down the Chili Cheese Burrito. Chili Cheese Burrito was great. I never had it, but I'm into it. Yeah, it was good. Clifton Hatfield, the Dippin' Dots inventor, first sold them at Opryland USA. Wow.

That's where I had Dippin' Dots the first time. That's probably where I had them too. Wow. That's good. Maybe that's why we felt like we were the test. Maybe we were the test. Yeah. I mean, they were great.

I was like, this is awesome. Little ice cream balls. They did better than our theme park. Yeah. They hung around longer. They hung around longer. Michael Sinsheimer. There was an oversight in the Procter & Gamble brand discussion.

The brand discussion was great, but would have loved to hear the gang discuss the logo controversy around the Satanist symbolism. Dusty, I'm glad you're here for this. Yeah. So that's my father-in-law, first of all. Yeah. Thanks for listening. Yeah.

Thanks for checking it out. Oh, yeah. I got the old logo pulled up here. Is that how Lucy says her name? The H is silent. Sinsheimer. Sinsheimer. Sounds like that.

You're still saying it. When you look at it, you want to say Sinsheimer. The S and the H are just divorced. The H is silent. Sinsheimer. The H is silent, but Sinsheimer. Let's just go, the H is silent. That's right. And then you go, but you still say the H. I go, H is silent, but it's Sinsheimer. I did do that.

You emphasized it more. Yeah. I go, well, the H is still there. You go, yeah, it's just not. Just say the H is there. It's not the route you're probably going to take. Yeah, just don't be obnoxious about it. Yeah. Here's the logo.

We've got kind of a man on the moon. Yeah. And people allege that we got some devil horns here at the top and the bottom and then we got an inverted 666 here at the bottom yeah i would say it's too aggressive a symbol for what they apparently do and i like the name procter and gamble this is like i would like that you're like are they? This is like some evil company or whatever. And then you're like, what do y'all do?

And they're like, we do like, like potato chips and stuff. And then you're like, yeah, well dude, this is a lot. It's a lot.

It does feel like, I agree. The 13 stars represent 13 colonies. They said, well, what does that even, I agree to getting the colonies. Like you go,

you're overthinking this dude like they're it's so funny to be like their job is to what do they do they do advertising or they they make a bunch of stuff they make they own these brands yeah they own the brand so to own the brands which is meaning you have to come up with ad branding to sell it and then to be well your main thing is that bad it's crazy like i mean you're it's a shock that they even made it in the business. I agree. And this was a 20-year thing that they finally had to go to court about it because it was an urban legend that they were Satanists.

There was this story that the president of Procter & Gamble went on Phil Donahue's show and said, yeah, I'm a Satanist. There's not enough Christians to even matter to stop us. And for years, churches would not buy Procter & Gamble products. The way the guy went on? That's not true at all. It was just an urban legend that he went to Philadelphia. I remember.

Back then, it was harder to look stuff up. People talking about Procter & Gamble. If it got so big of a thing, I would think they would call the company. I mean, that's so crazy that you could lie about something that was on TV. Yeah, urban legend that's so crazy that you could lie about something that was on TV. Yeah. Urban legend. That's a national television show. I know, but that was,

those are the early eighties and Parker and Gamble denied it the whole time, but the rumors kept spreading that, yeah, they went on Phil Donahue and you had no way to look stuff up. I know, but I just, I think that they could be like, he's never been on Phil,

the Phil Donahue, but he's never been on the show. Yeah. They never asked Phil Donahue. Yeah. They never called Phil Donahue, but he's never been on the show. Yeah, they never asked Phil Donahue about it. Yeah, they never called Phil Donahue and just say, hey, was he on there and said that? No, I don't think so. Why would we have the Procter & Gamble guy on

Phil Donahue? I have like, you know, I have like married couples fist fight. You think we would just also be like, let's get the Procter & Gamble guy. You think we would just also be like, no, let's get the Procter and Gamble guy. You think he's like,

yeah, I'll do it. Yeah. If he's a Satanist, he might. Yeah. But it would be, yeah.

Yeah. I don't, I disembowel, this is a, it is a lot. Yeah. Now it's just P and G. Oh yeah.

Oh, that's probably good. They really abandoned the logo thing altogether. Yeah. Yeah. Chad Anders. We have an entire episode about peanut butter, potato chips, and various other junk food, but no mention of the weight loss challenge.

The people need an update. I have an update. I actually weighed myself today. I weighed last night, and I weigh essentially exactly the same. What is it? Like 185. What did I weigh? 191, I think.

191. Yeah, what are you down to now? I weigh 176.6. Wow. That's great. That's crazy. 15 pounds. Yeah.

So my theory was, I knew your barber was going on the road with you as your nutritionist i thought it was just for one leg and i was like no he'll slip up and then he'll slip back and then i saw him at mike vecchione's taping he's like no i'm on the road with him permanently and i was like uh-oh i may be in trouble yeah he's been doing great uh we just count calories calories in calories out uh you know i'm not saying it's the right way the wrong way i don't like i'm a big if whatever works for you can work for you like do whatever if you're trying to lose like if you're trying to lose weight just do whatever you think you should do whatever you probably should do you're not gonna it's like even just getting something started when people talk about like eating i might have talked about like no carbs or something you're like just do it dude and then commit to it

and if it gets too much of a problem then stop but like just look like commit to it yeah it's the dining is all about just committing so it's like whatever little thing you want to make believe in your head they're like well do you don't want to do that because then you eat carbs and then you you know and it's like well dude if you can get way down yeah like no one's fluctuating like that no one's like going like atkins and then getting down to like 50 pounds and then they just have bread now they're next day 200 like if they have the determination to get to that 150 then they can keep it at that one even if it was like hey you should probably not do atkins anymore it's not i know it helped you here but then you know also the fact that fritos cheetos doritos and lays is a billion dollar industry maybe maybe that's the

problem with some weight loss yeah makes it hard for sure that stuff is real good i don't know anybody that's like you know what i went I went all Doritos, lost 50 pounds. We did it with – someone gave me – like I'm eating – I ate this Halo Top ice cream, which is great, 300 calories. And then we do – I've learned, though, like you want to eat protein because I can – like if you eat something kind of garbage, like I'm going to be hungry, I mean, very quickly after, and I you want to eat protein. If you eat something kind of garbage, I'm going to be hungry very quickly after, and I'm going to be starving. Then you can start being like, all right, well, I want some meat.

I want protein. I want something that I know will fill me up. I ate Haribo or Haribo, whatever those sour gummy bears. I mentioned those, so we had a nice couple brought me some of those this weekend. And they're in the medical field. They're doctors or something. But I ate, look, I looked at the servings. I could eat 12 of them.

It's 110 calories. Wow. And so you're like, I'm still like, now, I could do that as a meal. You could eat Oreo cookies if you do calories and lose weight you would feel miserable you won't ever feel full but it was like nice to be like why i ate 12 of them yeah i love them 12 you know last night i had a little packet of sour patch kids because i was like losing it and that was it's i think it was 110 calories like you're just doing that i don't want to go down too far. I rode that because that's the road that I get stuck where I'll be like,

well, I'm going to just eat the whole bag. But it's like you kind of go like that. Do you find that you enjoy them more now that you're eating less of them? Or do you feel like – Man, I really like those. When I had them, yeah, they're so good. I just eat them all in my mouth. I just put every one in.

You eat all 12 at once when you get 12? I throw them all in. I think if I went too slow, it would be too hard. And so I just put it every one you eat all 12 at once when you get 12 i think if i went too slow it'd be too hard and so i just i just jump it all in and uh yeah it does i love it oh yeah when i only have a few of a thing though i like to i'll eat like the ear off of it and then the head and like when i would have a kid you know you know being poor you have two reese cups and that's that's all you got. Yeah.

So you would eat, I would eat like the sides off of it. Yeah. Yeah. And then. I think I did that too. Like it's, you can keep it slow, but so this weekend I just, I wanted them and I had 12 of them and I had a, and I had the calories to spare. So it was like, I could either, and I was like, well, I just gotta, I just gotta eat

these and I ate 12, but it's, I mean's i mean you could i could eat 12 every night i mean if i like if i wanted to like just be like all right that's what i'm eating see this is where we're wired differently if i had two reese's cups i would eat them both i'd stack them on top of each other just indulge and then just be sad for longer after that oh yeah i never had the patience or the foresight to like, let's ration this out over the next few minutes. Oh, yeah. I would freeze them. I would eat all the chocolate off, then eat the peanut butter.

It's like surgical. Yeah, like you're living in a desert for many years. I got to make it last. This is my candy right here. I got to work it. Dion DeBeld, right? Dion DeBeld? Yeah, that sounds right.

Hello, Nate, Aaron, and Briar Brush. My wife and I are big fans, and we saw Nate and Brickyard in Fort Wayne, Indiana, in early 2020, about 10 days before the world shut down. You both had us in stitches with your 100th episode approaching. I thought you guys might get a laugh from looking back at a master list of every nickname for Big Daddy Bates from the start of the show. Do we have it? Oh, yeah.

Oh, wow. How many are it? So on this list, he's compiled 269 different names for names yeah i don't think that counts briar brush no we gotta add briar brush to that for sure bon bon broomstick t-bone i like some are not bees lunch lady it starts off yeah we got mike white like it starts off yeah you're starting to see the the genesis yeah and then it just evolves into Brontosaurus, Butterball. Wow. Benjamin Buford Blue.

This is awesome. Thank you for putting this together. Yeah, that's awesome. This is a good reference. Yeah, we'll post that on something. But breakfast is the most popular, right? Yeah, breakfast was like, I think it started, but it's just. Well, breakfast was one of the earlier ones, and Nate said that was his favorite, i think kind of it's it started but it's just well breakfast was one of the earlier ones and nate said that was his favorite and it kind of stuck but yeah there's a

lot of where's the lunch lady come in uh they said i was like the lunch lady because like i hung out with the lunch lady when i was in school i like there's a there's a vagabond he's just thrown in there too there's a lot of mean ones in there. Boat ramp is pretty good too. Because that's so... Big lot bait. I like that. Big lot's bait.

Yeah. There you go. I think I speak two languages because my wife's from California and my mom, the bases have always been here. Yeah. So when my mom comes and stays with us, I have to be a translator. We just had, we got another critter issue. She's just nonstop.

Oh, I mean, it's getting out of hand. It's really getting out of hand. But I was going to bed the other night, just got Eleanor down like 2 a.m. And I was like, I smell a skunk. Yeah. And it came in, I was like, I smell a skunk. Yeah. And it got worse and worse. But then I went ahead and went to sleep. This has nothing to do with my mom.

But then I woke up next morning, the smell's gone. I'm like, oh, it's gone. I guess it moved on or whatever. Just don't look into it anymore. Well, I mean, it's gone. So I'm like, what are you going to do? I looked out the window. He went out there smoking a cigarette.

I'm like, not bad. I don't know if it was a cigarette, but someone was getting down. Late that afternoon, I go walk the dog. I come back in. Smell's still there. It's completely there. We just got used to it overnight. It's permeated throughout the house.

I got the Opry in like three hours. And I think maybe all my clothes, everything smells like skunk, but I can't tell. Maybe all my clothes, everything smells like skunk, but I can't tell. I was considering going to Walmart and just go up somebody in the aisle. You smell something. It's through the whole house, you think? It's gotten into the closet? I think so.

But you just can't tell because you're used to the smell. Yeah. Then Ruth got in her head that she looked online that gas leaks can sometimes smell like skunks. So now she's thinking maybe there's a gas leak. This is where my mom comes to stay with us. So you bring your mom into this. You think it's a skunk. It's got a third generation. A possible gas leak, and you go, you know what?

Let's get my mom down here. Skunk is the best case scenario. Yeah, it really is. But she was already awake. And she's like, that ain't nothing but a polecat. That's what my mom calls skunks. Have y'all ever heard that? I have heard that.

Yeah. So my mom has all these words I have to translate for my wife, what they mean, but that's what she calls skunk. That ain't nothing but a polecat. Did you ever find out? It's still there. I mean, did I ever find out if I smelled?

Just any of it. I mean, I'd imagine you wouldn't be the first person that formed on the Opry and smelled like a skunk. That's probably true. I mean, there's a bunch of... They're like, this guy fits in. I told the story that night on the Opry how I was afraid I was going to kill Jeannie Sealy.

Oh, yeah. There's still a little... I told the story that night on the Opry how I was afraid I was going to kill Jeannie Sealy. There's still a little, like, friends are coming over now bringing us food and seeing the baby and stuff. And we often just stand outside and talk to them because our house kind of. No one's looking into it? I mean, I haven't called a professional, if that's what you're asking. I've went around the house, looked underneath, tried to find the source. How many days has it been? It's been over a week. So we're just going by your mom saying it's not you're asking. I've went around the house, looked underneath, tried to find the source. How many days has it been? It's been over a week. So we're just going by your mom saying it's not a gas leak.

No, no, no. I call it. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were talking about finding the skunk. Well, I mean, yeah, just anything. We did call the gas company, and they came out, and they said, no, that's just a skunk. Were they irritated with you? The gas company?

Yeah. Yeah. I called them about a gas leak one time. I thought it was a gas leak. They're like, there ain't no gas out here. It was so mad at me. I'm like, I don't know what you say to call if you smell gas. Well, we have gas.

You don't even have gas? No, I had gas. Oh, yeah. If you have gas. You know what I mean? I thought you just had a Woodbird-y stove. You're off the grid. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. You don't even have a gas hookup out here yeah so i was off the grid this weekend uh with or not this weekend so in between shows before we went to vancouver or something we had we had the bus and we had we had like probably a two days to stop and so we went to lake tahoe i've never been to lake tahoe and uh so we're staying at this uh hotel and the back is this so that's they go this mountain so one of the last days we're like hey let's go on a hike right me eric i'm i'm you know i'm a skinny man now

so me eric uh the barber and chase and my son yeah it's rather people still come up to him and he doesn't know why chase is this merch guy okay way, people still come up to him and he doesn't know why. Chase is his merch guy. Okay. But everybody, people go up to him and ask him if he's my son because people thought

I had a son that was 23 and I've just never talked about it. Never mentioned him once. Never mentioned it. And then, so people always come up

and ask him and he'll get, he said this weekend someone DM'd him and said, are you Nate's son? And he goes, no. And he goes, why are you asking this he goes i just do what i'm told and chase was like i don't know what does that even mean so i haven't told him yet still but uh so we were we're gonna do this

we go on this hike it ended up being first we're just gonna do like a side hike and go around this reservoir wasn't like too crazy and then uh we end up, we were just going to do, like, a side hike and go around this reservoir. It wasn't, like, too crazy. And then we ended up realizing we had more time to go do it. The top of this mountain is a volcano. Whoa. And Mount Pluto. And so we're, and we couldn't see, we haven't seen Lake Tahoe. So we're on the other side of the mountain.

Lake Tahoe is, like, 20 minutes. And so I wanted to be able to see, like, some of Lake Tahoe. And they were like, well, if you go to the top of that, you can. And so we all right well let's you know let's see you on the hike we go on we end up going on a 10 mile hike wow and so and i think i want to say either 3 000 elevation or a thousand like it was a crazy amount of elevation we changed because we were starting at the bottom so these are ski slopes so they're so we go up and we we start going like sideways up and down down the trail that you can kind of walk it and then we're like well it's getting i mean dude in this point you're getting the shade up there i mean it feels like it's 45 degrees and then we i have shorts on we're smelling the

ground right oh yeah and then uh so one point we're well, we're not going to make it to the top if we keep going the long, you know, kind of the zigzag way. So Eric, who's a lunatic, is like, well, let's just run. You know, we're following the ski lift. Yeah. And he goes, well, the ski lift is right there. It's like, that's the top. And we get to one point, it wasn't the top. And he goes, I think that's the top. And you're point it wasn't the top because i think that's the top and you're like i'm not gonna at this

point i'm like i can't do any more of this yeah like we've been hiking for hours and and i like who knows if that's the top we can't see it's like whatever so he's like i think it's the top so eric runs up there and then uh it comes back i mean like for 30 minutes later we're just kind of waiting on him looking at how to get down we're very high and then he comes back. I mean, like 30 minutes later, we're just kind of waiting on him, looking at how to get down. We're very high. And then he comes back. He's like, that's the top. And so Eric does it again.

We're like, wow. All right. And then so we do it again. And we're just going straight up under the ski lift. So you're not on the path. I mean, it's kind of climbing. Yeah. Yeah.

And so we get to the top. Now go to one. Yep. And so we made it to the top. Now go to one. Yep. And so we made it to the top. This is the top. And then this is a black diamond slope. So it's me, Chase, and Eric. We find these poles.

We got a view of Lake Tahoe at the top. I mean, there's a post office building up there. It's kind of crazy. And then go to the next one. And then, yeah. And so, I mean, there's a post office building up there. It's kind of crazy. And then go to the next one. And then, yeah. And so, I mean, this is it. So we have to watch. So now to come back, because we're like, all right, well, what's the easiest way back?

Walk down the diamond slope. And so we're just walking down. I mean, it's a diamond. From the top, we just go straight down this thing in the snow. Did someone fall there? That was me sitting down. Because, I mean, I only fell a couple times. But, dude, it would be – I was like, well, maybe if I slide.

But I'm scared to slide. There's rocks and stuff under all this. Yeah. And so, like, when the snow's up, you're not going to hit it. I'm scared to slide. Oh, at the top, too. By the way, the water we had i drink water uh right before i went hiking put it down and had no water so we went on like what we thought was gonna be like an hour hike

and now we're into like hour four and a half but we found an unopened bottle water at the top of the mountain and we drank it whoa yeah i don't know if you're supposed to do that but it was it was it was not cracked oh well then yeah yeah i mean i don't know if you're supposed to do that. Oh, you should. But it was not cracked. Oh, well then, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I don't know how long it's been up there. I mean, like, there's, like, it's not like I'm in the, you know, I'm at the top of ski soap. So, like, there's bottles of water, like, everywhere because people drop. But most have been drank out of.

This was still sealed. This was still sealed. Okay. That's for you then, man. Yeah, so we all shared it. Four hours, I might have drank an open one. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, we would have. I probably would have drank an open one if we didn't see that one. Yeah. Because there's- Not if it was Dasani. No. No. Okay.

I would have drank it. So we drank that, and then we came down. There might be a video of us walking. The other one is, it's, yeah, don't even have to't even have to worry if it's going to do a whole thing. No, it's not going to take long. Yeah, it was, I mean, it was wild, dude. Like it was the most, it's, this is Eric. So Eric basically just skied down it with his feet.

And he goes all the way down. And then me and Chase, and Chase is trying to just stay with me. Tell the old guy. Well, there's a point. It is. You do, you know, you come 43, you're like, I'm not going to get myself. Yeah. This is, I don't want to get hurt doing this.

And so, I mean, I fell down. Then I was like, well, maybe if I slide a little bit as I sit down, that's the coldest thing ever. And so then I just was basically, you kind of got to zigzag back and forth a little bit. And then I finally got to some dirt and then we got down. I mean, we were gone for four and a half, five hours. You did about 10 miles, he said? It was, yeah.

That's a pretty substantial hike. Yeah. Especially not on a hiking trail. Yeah. Oh, the opposite of a hiking trail. Yeah. Well, I do like hiking. It's fun.

I mean, it's, you know, I did not bring my phone. I had, that was kind of a day like i had some call like i just some career stuff that it was like and uh and so it was like i was like i'm not bringing my phone and i just went out and like it was it was so great in the fact that like had a stressful day and a career day, but it was a frustrating day and a career day. And so it was so nice that when I came back, you felt so satisfied. Right. Accomplished. And then I had to do a call right after when I got back,

and it was just nice to be like and i call you like i you know all right yeah i've already conquered a mountain yeah you're like care about this call i'll do whatever yeah like i'll just do my own thing then and uh so yeah it was it's very satisfying but i hope it's i don't hope i don't have to do that much to be satisfied like that was like you know i mean but you just feel like you're like yeah you don't want to start off with four hours yeah you know what i mean then now each time you're like you walk two hours you're like well that wasn't what i did last time yeah i love the fact they say when you go hiking just make sure you take your phone and some water they both had phones yeah eric's died immediately

i mean we weren't even on the hard hike we were i i promise you 30 minutes in this hike we're like uh so i was like eric is like we'll take a picture eric because my phone's dead you're like so chase's was fully charged so we were good that's my son in the front uh and there so yeah it but it would end up being awesome i mean we got those sticks up the top we brought those back i mean we're in shorts standing that stuff i mean it was that's really cool pretty well 10 mile hike we were off the grid i was off the grid i mean once yeah jace had a phone you i mean you feel like we need to get down i mean we don't think we're gonna be in trouble we're on ski slopes because it's like I know everything just goes down,

and so everything is that way. But, I mean, you look around. I mean, these mountains, dude. Oh, this is where Donner Pass is. So I posted that picture. I was on Donner Pass Road when we went down there. So these aren't the exact mountains, but the Donner Mountains are right there. And so we could have went hiking on those mountains.

Where the Donner Party happened? Yeah, we had to drive a little bit farther. This was easier to get to. But exactly where the Donner, I mean, the road I was on that had, where we went and ate breakfast, it's called Donner Pass Road. So the whole town, that's the town. Whoa. So you go to Lake Tahoe, it's like 25 minutes.

And you can go, I think you can go hike where it's like, you know. And almost the same thing happened to you guys. Oh, we almost, yeah. We almost. What's the Donner family? The Donner party, you know, where the cannibalism, where they got locked in and they had to eat each other. Oh, oh yeah. I heard about that.

Yeah. Yeah. So they're, well, it's all from there. And so Lake Tahoe, it is like you can see it, though. Like, it's funny. I want to. Oh, they got trapped on the mountain, and then they had to be cannibals? Oh, that's pretty scary that that's where you're walking.

Yeah. I mean, yeah, I wasn't right. I mean, there's, you know, I mean, you see, I'll be honest, you see Ritz Carlton's son right behind me. But it's, if you dive into that picture. Five feet. We are out there, five feet we are out there we are out there dude don't even you don't even know what it's like how hard it is uh but those are the ski slopes but we were up there but we at one point we go off another route but we lose track of the mountain i

mean right at this point we know where we're at but we lose there's points where you could end up going where we were we got off so sidetracked uh and that it was on one way that we had we looked at his compass to be when we were like north south so we knew all right north is, but then you're like, where's our hotel at? And, you know, and you're like, well, we know south is, so we're like talking about which way to go. And you know you got to go down the mountain. But it's like, you just don't know,

are we going to end up like- The other side of the mountain. Yeah, the wrong side. Yeah. Well, yeah, that side or just end up way off where you're like, you know, you feel like you could come out and you're like, you're 20 miles from the hotel. You're on a road, but then you're like, well, now you're like, you know, you feel like you could come out and you're like, you're 20 miles from the hotel. You're on a road, but then you're like, well, now I got to, you know,

we got to get someone to take us. It was great. It was pretty thrilling. That's awesome, man. We need to go do the Donner. Next time I go, I got shows in Reno. I might go do the Donner Pass. Maybe go do that.

Do they have the house that they were in that you can visit? They have a little museum and stuff. But I bet you could go walk it now and you'd be like, y'all died from it. That's probably the hard part. Because look at it. You look at those mountains in the back. They had to go over those.

Right. Now there's a hotel there and it's like we go it's still a hard and i mean this is a hard hard hike yeah uh i mean switched into borderline climb because we just were going straight up this mountain so it's not easy yeah and then you look at what they had to go through i mean they it was you just saw like where the mountain went down you go let's try to go through that part and they got snowed in just feet and feet of snow it's the dead of winter i wish i knew more about what happened to them oh how long does it take to be a cannibal you know what i

mean like how long would you have to not eat before you're like i'll eat a person it was snowed in on a monday wednesday they were eating each other wow that's okay that seems quick they were up there other. Wow, that seems quick. That seems quick. They were up there for months, right? Yeah. Kids. We have people that listen to podcasts that are descendants from the Donner family. Wow.

Yeah. Today, we're going to talk about, let's get into, spell it, eating people, the end times and off the grid. If things go bad and we all have to go, which one of us do you think lasts the longest? Go our separate ways? Well, I just mean if things get bad, something goes down in the world and we all got to get out there and survive, be survivalists. You and I are out immediately, Brad. That's what I think.

What do you think happens? I mean, you might not make it over just a regular week. They have, you know, electricity goes out for a couple days. Brian might not have made it out of it. I don't have, you know, I'm not a prepper. I don't have anything. I don't have anything to last me more than a week at my house. I don't have a you know, I'm not a prepper. I don't have anything. I don't have anything to last me more than a week at my house. I don't have a gun.

I'm worthless. If something like this happens, I'm worthless. Nobody on the block turns to me for help. I don't grow anything. I'm the anti-Dusty in a lot of ways. Dusty's been preparing for this for his whole life, hoping for it. Yeah, I mean, sometimes it does feel like, you know, like if the power grid

went down and like all cell phones were out you'd like it'd be a real relief yeah you're like i don't have to do social media for a minute yeah this is great do you have stuff prepped like you have food yeah i got a couple of things you got land right i got some land yeah i'm working on a cabin yeah you know i got a cabin i mean it's like know, but you got to get out there. But you get the location. Yeah. I'm joking. He posts video. Well, I'm joking.

You talk about it, but you don't get the look. The point, you don't want to give the location. Yeah. Well, not the exact, but. Yeah. I got some. Yeah. Yeah.

I got some land out and I'm trying to build a cabin and I got, I'm growing some fruit trees. Yeah. Yeah. I like the. Oh, so we give the town away. I'm sure they're going to find it. Yeah. Do you not want to little bit. So we give the town away, right? I'm sure they're going to find it.

Yeah. Do you not want to show this? No, this is fine. It's on YouTube. It's not a public YouTube video, but it's on. Oh, my gosh.

Well, he said it to me. I thought it was. No, that's all. No, no, it is okay. I would do, I want to buy some land. I get the idea of... We cut that tree down.

Oh, wow. Thanks. Thanks for the update. Just keep us posted. Well, it was an old oak out there. On the old town. Mowed that grass right there. The grass is mowed.

Yeah. Because the electric pole we put up. I could see... I remember reading there was a gas gas station so they sell like a truck stop they sell prepper magazines big time there and i got one one time and it's like it's interesting like i like looking at it i could see it i mean it's one of those things that seems crazy but i i i could want i would one day wouldn't mind buying some land. And you just have somewhere to go. And if you have some stuff stocked there, I don't know.

It's just the idea. Yeah, let's just say you went to the grocery store, right? And then there was no food in there, right? Okay, so one time you're like, this is pretty scary. But then everybody you know is going to the grocery store and there's no food in there. How long before everyone flips out yeah not long not long they did they've done it over the toilet paper and well baby formula right now right now baby forms that but it's it's yeah so like wouldn't take much and so i i i i get it i get

like wrapping your head around like having something that's like you can go to and you know and then you go and then like everybody's an alcoholic, right? So the liquor stores are empty. Now nobody could get. And then like pills. I mean, it's chaos out here. Yeah. You think it would just snowball?

Yeah. I think people would be killing each other quick. Yeah. It would. Yeah. It would. Yeah. Like how quick?

Like Monday and then a Wednesday. yeah that's what yeah it would yeah it would get real it is scary because it's like you're relying on so many other people yeah and so if it goes down well you know the people at the top are going to be fine because they're there they have somewhere to go. And then the rest, though, you're like, yeah, no one's going to be looking out for you. No, it's just a free-for-all down here. So I read where over 50% of the executives at Silicon Valley have bought a stowaway, like retreat if things go bad. And New Zealand is the hot place to go,

so much so that New Zealand had to pass a law that you can't buy land there unless you're a native New Zealander. Oh, really? Because it was like the wink, wink, hey, I'm looking for a house in New Zealand, meaning I want to get off the grid. And all these billionaires were buying up all the land there in New Zealand. They say it's a good place because it's probably safer than North America or Europe as far as being attacked. Yeah. They still speak English. It's its own island.

It's beautiful there. So that's where all the rich people are escaping. They have planes. Well, what can you really grow there? Can you grow? I mean, is there enough land to grow stuff? I don't know what's going on down there. Yeah, it's a real country.

Yeah, it's not small. But how big? I don't know what's going on down there. Size, it's a real country. And... Yeah, it's not small. But how big? You know, I don't know what's going on down there. Size of Old Hickory Lake. It's pretty big. They don't have snakes. It's a farmland.

Yeah. No snakes. No snakes? Yeah. Wow. It's crazy. Yeah. So that's kind of like

the hot place to go. But, I mean, do you have a way to grow food and such? Well, I'm learning to grow food. You know, I got, you know, it's not, it's like I grew peppers and tomatoes and cucumbers last year, like abundance. And now I can't grow them this year. I don't know what's happening.

So I'm like learning to grow things. But I went out there, I got a big dirt mound out on the land and I just started putting squash and watermelon in there, did nothing to it. And it's growing. Oh, really? Yeah. things but i went out there i got a big dirt mound out on the land and i just started putting squash and watermelon in there did nothing to it and it's growing oh really whoa wow so that's good yeah but will you have electricity i will have electricity i'm not trying to live off the grid but i am trying to like prepare a spot just in case you know that's what i that's what i think i would i mean i would prepare you know i looked up what I think I would do. You know what I mean? I would prepare. You know, I looked up.

There's off-the-grid stuff. People can build underground homes. You can have these underground things. I mean, and they get so, and they can be $10 million. And you can have it where it's, it's like a five, six bedroom thing. Under, like under. Under like your current house

or just under somewhere? No, just under somewhere. Like you could have it, like if there was a current house or just under no just under somewhere like you could have it like if there was a nuclear attack or there was something i mean some of it could be like tornado shelters like you could go down and you just you know somewhere small and it's like you just sit around but i mean it gets crazy i mean they can build you could you could i mean they have like where you could uh you grow food in there. You have all this kind of stuff.

Somebody said Kid Rock had something like that, like a trailer and then an underground house under the trailer. Is that true? Does anybody know that? I don't know. I don't know, but I read where underground bunkers are up 300% in sales even since the war in Ukraine happened. Yeah, I mean, it would be,

I'd want to see what the sales were before. You know, it's like, there's one and there's all three. Well, there's three. But there, I could definitely, there's enough happening that you're like, I don't, I mean, I don't think you can make fun of someone that thinks about it.

You'd be like, I don't know, dude. Like if you entertain the thought of just, you know, being like, yeah, I might, I don't know dude like if you entertain the thought of just you know being like yeah i might i don't know you just when you start thinking about how much you rely on people yes on other people that don't care about you yeah uh it gets a little you get a little like oh that's crazy well even the idea that prepper comes from being prepared yeah right like making fun of being prepared yeah all right Right. It's Boy Scouts. Well, it's like if you go do all this though and nothing happens.

But if you do something like what you're doing, like you get some land, you could do that kind of stuff where you're like, you could go out there for just to get away. Like, but then also you're like,

but then also I have that for when it goes down. Yeah. It's a whole. And everything locks down. We start just firing guns. Yeah. It's a whole retreat. Yeah. And if it goes down, we go out there. Yeah. We start just firing guns at people. It's a whole retreat, yeah.

And if it goes down, we go out there, yeah. We just start shooting for no reason. Yeah. Just to let people know what's going on. Yeah. There was that show Doomsday Preppers on National Geographic. It was the most popular show they ever had. But real preppers say it's the worst thing that could happen to them

because it was just a bunch of crazy people. Yeah. And now everyone, they think crazy. I had a friend on that show. Oh. Oh, really? Yeah. You met him through the show?

He lived in Charleston. He did comedy, and he was a prepper of sorts. And he wasn't a real prepper, though. He was Duke, but he got on the show. Yeah. And then I introduced him onto the stage for his comedy segment of the show. Oh, really?

So I'm on doomsday prepper a little bit for a second. Yeah. I love that you're just in the world of that. Like you just somehow get on. So like, well, it's like you buy one thing and then you get a targeted ad and you're like, oh,

well I do need that. Yeah. I don't want to get caught out here without a axe. You got a bug out bag? Axe slash shovel. Do people get ads from stuff that we say on their phones? They say they do. Oh, really?

People all the time send us stuff like, I never got this until I watched her. But now, this week, everyone was like, I got this GIF recall. I'm like, you can't blame that on us. That's just in the news. Yeah, yeah. I wondered that'd be fun. I mean, people, these are just regular people that might be like, you know, I mean, a lot of them are regular people.

They're like, I don't want a Prepper ad. Oh, yeah. They're going to. Well, I wonder if they're going to see the ad difference between when Dusty came on board. It goes from like some fun, silly stuff to just some real some real just like what to do if a guy comes at you with an axe and you've got your back against the wall and you're like well why am i i don't need to know that dusty's uh i don't know can i mention your your other podcast

oh yeah sure i don't i mean yeah uh that's the own podcast are you still doing it yeah i still do it it gets a little inconsistent but i still do it. It gets a little inconsistent, but I still do it. But he'll have some funny stuff on there that he'll say, because it's just him, let me pull up this and tell you about it. And then he'll say, my Wi-Fi is terrible. But I'm glad it's terrible because they're listening to our thoughts. Okay, here it is right here. And then he'll just keep on going.

And it's just so funny. That's true. Well, the Wi-Fi is wild, right? If you think about this idea that you get anything you want to your screen, right? Anything you want pulls up, but where's that coming from, right? It's just floating around in the air. Is it going through our bodies? And what is that? I think they make it not go through our bodies. I think they ask the Wi-Fi and they go, don't go through our bodies i mean i think they ask the wi-fi they go don't go to anybody's body well i hope so yeah i was talking to a guy who knows a lot about this kind of stuff he's a professional hacker and he said i'll tell you the first thing i do is i never use wi-fi

oh really i never use it he says it's just not safe yeah much less a public wi-fi like at an airport but even at home safer hacking it's just you're so vulnerable on a wi-fi network he says i hardwire everything and once you see what people can do yeah you're like i he's just so nervous about it he only hardwires everything oh yeah it was pretty alarming and i thought about that for about a week and then i just went back to using wi-fi because it's like better right isn't it it is it's more secure and it's faster yeah yeah and i actually in the middle of covid i bought like a 700 foot ethernet cable and i taped it down with gaffer's tape on my house and i have it running from my router downstairs into my into the basement so my computer's hooked up but we still use the wi-fi on our phone and everything everybody

prepares in their own way you know everybody you're ready for wi-fi or whatever i'm i'm trying to eat you know what i mean yeah so yeah i'm trying to eat too man let's not get that wrong i mean when i check into a hotel i mean as soon as it pops romadi at click, it could be anybody. I'm like, yep, that's it. I don't use it. I'd take it off. I'd rather use my cell signal in a lot of – just because sometimes the Wi-Fi just – I mean, it'll shut your phone down. Yeah.

Like it attaches, and then you're like, now you can't even use your phone. It's like it's getting onto someone's weird wife, you know. and use your phone. It's like, it's getting onto someone's weird wife, you know. Yeah. You used to tell me

about people hacking into cars, like the navigation system on a car. And you know, these newer cars have automatic

parallel parking and stuff, which basically means you can control how the car drives through its, like the hard drive on it or whatever.

And people can hack into those and just drive cars off cliffs. Oh, really? Yeah. It's very scary when you think about it all, you know? Theoretically.

Yeah. No one's done that. I think people have done it. Oh, really? There was 128 deaths in 2016 from cars off cliffs. But it is a real security concern is that if you're on board, if it can control how the wheels move and the steering wheel. You just go.

Yeah. A bad actor could hop in there and just kind of wait until you're on a bridge. Yeah. And just drive you off. I don't get that. Like a bad actor. I don't know what that means either. It was like too far. Like a bad actor. I don't know what that means either.

It was like too far after I said bad actor. But I don't know what you mean by bad actor. I think he's pretty good. Yeah. So there's a doomsday. I like Vin Diesel. You don't have an ally on this, Brian. This is a Vin Diesel podcast. I stole that from Mark and Unson.

He has a joke about Vin Diesel being a bad character. There's a doomsday clock that the scientists have been doing since, I think, World War II, where they count down, based on what's going on in the world, how close we are to midnight, which is doomsday. We're now closer than we've ever been,

I believe. Well, that would make sense if they started it. It's a hundred seconds to midnight? Yeah. We're always a bit closer. Yeah. You know what I mean? Well, the clock doesn't work like a traditional clock.

It can go backwards. There's been times of peace where it's actually went backwards. What's the farthest back it's been? Let me see here. I think it went back to 14 minutes to midnight. Like, they don't start it. We've never been less than an hour. In 1991, it's 17 minutes till midnight.

I think that's the furthest back. Well, I don't even. 2020, they moved it up to. I got that wrong. It's pretty alarming to pull up a website that says, at Doom's doorstep. Yeah, I don't. Well, that doesn't.

I don't believe. 100 seconds. That makes me furious. That doesn't even make. A, you, you want to go, like, we've never been, so you, like, we started the clock, and once we invented this clock, we were at 17, like, it's almost midnight. It's always been almost midnight. Yeah. Like, you know, like, it's only been bad news. And, like, that's, so, like, and it's something that's only bad news.

I'm not saying we could be, who knows what's going to happen, but it's the idea that you're, they don't, scientists don't know. Right. That's the point of science is that you don't know, and you're like, well, we're 100 seconds. You're like, if stuff goes good, you're like, oh, we're back to whatever. I'm at 100 seconds? They're basing it on climate change. What is a second? Like like if you can move the time

back it's like what is what does any of it even mean is 100 seconds 100 years we won't make it to this podcast yeah yeah yeah it's very arbitrary but yeah the good news is our central time yeah so we have about an hour well there's a bunch of time zones so what if even these questions you go go which time zone is this in and they're like oh you know it's whatever you're it doesn't matter it's like a general thing i go well we have a pretty different time zone so y'all may be taking it a little too literal as far as the clock but uh but it's supposed to show yeah just how when things go bad we're getting closer to the end times stuff like that i mean that's crazy i think it's i mean yeah see i don't like i mean yeah even i don't i never heard of the doomsday clock yeah i get that it's

fun i don't know if that's their intent but like it's like we put up this fun tool it's a laugh a minute but i mean is there's is there yeah there might be you look at the people that are like guys we are at 100 seconds to minute and you're like what are you talking the climate change stuff's always so boring to me too they're like you know the weather's gonna get us you know what i mean and i'm like all right well if we've destroyed the climate so much that it's about to kill us what are we about to do now to fix it well i'll tell you what we're gonna do okay we've got a global seed vault in Norway where we're storing all the world's seeds

in this underground... I got a few of them. ...bunker vault in Norway. It's the farthest north you can fly on a commercial airline. And they have 930,000 varieties of food crops. So if things ever go bad, we could replenish the earth with these seeds from all over the world.

All right. Yeah. As long as that place is okay. Yeah. Yeah. So they found the place they thought was the safest to store it. Okay. Who gets them?

Norway. They paid for the- Oh, Norway did it? Norway paid for this seed vault and people all over the world brought them in. So who gets the seeds, though, if it all goes south? Who owns these seeds? Yeah. Probably Norway, I'm guessing.

The world government is what it sounds like. Oh, boy. Well, that's another topic for another episode. Yeah. Seems right on. We trust Norway. The world ends, and we trust Norway to handle this? I mean, what have they done ever?

Yeah. They did a seed vault. Yeah. They're thinking ahead. Pretty good. But what could happen that then is like everything's destroyed, but now we're good to plant seeds again. Well, like if a meteor hits the world or something

and we've got the world goes cold for or pot or whatever it is for hundreds of thousands of years and they can yeah it's prepping it's no different than if you're you're prepping can go as good as it goes but if you get a meteor that hits your house then you're prepping was pointless right so it's like i think it's at least the option well okay that's not a climate change prepping, though. Because that's my thing. If the weather got so bad that you couldn't grow crops, how good are the seeds going to do you? Well, I think they're inside.

I guess you would just have to fake it. Get some halogen lights. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And stuff like that. They do that now, right? Yeah. Okay. Yep. There's some scientists proposing a sperm bank on the moon.

Okay. All right. It's like a Noah's Ark. I want like that job. How high do you have to get to then you can start just saying like, and look, and you got to look, you probably do really have to exhaust all this stuff. I get it. But like, what do you get to be that level? Someone that they don't ask you to leave like they would make you know yeah it'd be like it's okay like there's i

watched uh moonfall there's another he was uh it's just like the moon falls on us and who's in it uh i don't know i mean it's a new one Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson yeah it's that Roland Emmerich he's fun and his movies are just kind of like crazy and it's a very

you know it's like a fun mindless movie the guy that's doing it he said the moon i don't know he figures out something the moon's coming on us but it's a guy that no one believes and it ends up being a guy that ends up being well he's the one that actually figured all this out so that that's the thing that's always kind of crazy to me i don't remember what i was saying at the beginning but it was it's the the it's always going to be someone outside, not inside, that thinks of it.

And so it's like, when do you listen? Because if you have someone outside that said, what if we do this on the moon? And they're going to be, they put the guy in jail. And then you have a scientist that goes, what do you do on the moon? They go, this guy's brilliant. You're like, what's the, you know, how do you get to that job? You got to earn it, I guess. That's where you get know how do you get to that job you gotta earn it i guess that's where you get to have tenure yeah that's where you get the conspiracy part of people because they

they're like well they just stay on their side doing like we'll figure this stuff out but a lot of the stuff sometimes ends up being like if someone said dusty said we should put a sperm bank on the moon you'd be well dusty's a lunatic yes but you're right if you have a degree a few degrees if you went to college i'd be like well he's a smart guy i still would be like dusty i'd love to hear your explanation for this yeah i mean i wish i had thought of it yeah sperm bank on the what what for what do they do well again if the work yeah if the world's destroyed asking what for yeah why the moon oh if the world ends why is the sperm bank on, you know, like, I think, what do you mean what for? How far back do we need to go here, Aaron?

No, I'm good. Are they putting eggs up there too, or just? Yeah. You'd hope they have some fertilized eggs up there. Yep. He's got a bunch of sperm up there, and then you're like, ah, we forgot the eggs. The ladies will make it dead gummit you ever heard why did i think about this um again if a meteor hits the earth and everything's destroyed

we gotta have some people living on the moon i hope the moon doesn't fall on us with the sperm bank on it you know know what I mean? That could be part two of moonfall. What is this? But they've got 6.7, proposing, million different samples of creatures, including humans,

that they want to put in this Noah's Ark, basically on the moon. And this scientist said that Indonesia's Mount Toba erupted 75,000 years ago, and it caused a 100,000-year cooling period where a lot of species died. So he's like, it could happen again. Oh, the volcanoes. Yeah.

Yeah, there was a volcano. We saw Mount Rainier. I had to fly out of Seattle. And so Mount Rainier, we saw it. I know there's a joke about it, but when you see it from the airport, it's so big. It's massive. It's like you see it, and then there's clouds, and then you see it.

Yeah. And you're like, that's so crazy. But our driver was telling us they had a volcano explode there in 1980. Not in Seattle, Mount Rainier, but in- Mount St. Helens? Mount St. Helens. Mount St. Helens. Yeah.

And that was 1980. And you're like, we had a lot of volcanoes, dude. 1980 in like not in seattle mountaineer but in mount saint helens yeah and like uh and that's that was 1980 and you're like we has a lot of volcanoes dude it's crazy that none of them are you know erupting yeah like are you i mean you're hearing about them some but you're i mean man there's some that you're like dude if they erupt they said they found uh ashes in boston from mount saint helens wow so it's like if one of those go you're like yeah the volcano's terrifying yeah well i think there's a prediction the yellowstone one's going to erupt this year right yeah yellowstone has a super volcano under it where it's it's i mean here's a map of what would happen if it exploded the kill zone i mean it takes out Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, most of Utah, like right away.

That's crazy. And then it just messes up the rest of the country. And they think it would cause like a nuclear winter, right, in the way that a nuclear attack would. Or it blocks out the sun, crops don't grow. Seems to knock out a few of the loony bins in there, too. Yeah. All right, let's hear it out. Not all bad wow so if you were in the kill zone is it just because like you do you die immediately or you die like it's like the lava

eventually gets to you or you can't breathe you can't oh it's also massive earthquakes right and all kind it's just total chaos there uh and yeah just the lava or whatever comes out of it. But I wonder if you're towards the end of the kill zone, do you have time to get out of it? Like if you're in secondary ash zone. If you're right on the cusp. Well, primary ash zone is like you're probably fine. You get a good view.

A lot of comics moving to Tennessee. Yeah. Zany's is going to be tougher to get on those shows. Yeah, that's wild. And the scary thing about this the yellowstone super volcano is every everything i've read about it they're like yeah we're pretty due for it like it's about time but that you know it's funny that uh now this is coming from my driver but he was like we were saying he's like they're everybody's due for

everything everything's due everything's always due yeah and so they've been you know when you hear that they've been due for it since the 80s and not saying that you're not we're due for everything

so it's like you gotta go like alright you know it's I don't know you can't just go live life scared

cause you're like they were due in the 80s when that Mount saint helen uh exploded too the guy told a story about there's a guy that lived on the side a cabin in the mountain and so they had enough warning that they told everybody just get out oh they knew it was about to erupt yeah and uh i think i want to say 56 people ended up dying but it was almost like the people that died were is you had the warning everybody was telling you to get out they knew every you know and one guy is uh his name is truman and he had a cabin on the mountain and

he goes i'm gonna stay and they're like well you gotta you're gonna die and he goes i've been i've been on this mountain for a long time dude because he He goes, I'm going to go down with it if it goes. Wow. And then he died. He's a true man. Yeah. It's crazy. Yeah.

Yeah, it's kind of crazy. Yeah. I was thinking, I don't know if they would let you do that now. They'd haul you off. You'd be institutionalized. Yeah. This guy in a hazmat suit shows up, kills your pet. 1980, they go, have a good day. Yeah. This guy in a hazmat suit shows up, kills your pet. 1980, they go, have a good day.

Yeah. He was old. He's like old. He's like, I mean, he's like, you know. I get that. I have family that lives on the water of the Gulf Coast, and every time a hurricane would come, they'd go, we're not leaving. Yeah. Can they make you leave now?

I don't know if they can do forced evacuations. Not in that way. I mean, maybe they can, but evacuations Not in that way Maybe they can But they just wouldn't leave ever We're just going to ride it out We've been through hurricanes before Whatever This is where we live

I'm not going to leave my house I like that they're standing up to hurricanes Like it's standing up to Something natural It's not like it's standing up to Some mean guys or something It's like like it's standing up to like some mean guys or something. It's like, well,

it's a hurricane, you know? And you go, man, you know, I'm tired of these hurricanes come ruining my town. I think one day we're all going to stand up for them. I'll tell you that next time one comes through,

we should all go down there. You ain't welcome to your hurricane. Have you guys seen the movie? Don't Look Up? Yes. Not yet. I've seen some of it. Well, at the end, the super rich.

I mean, are you ruining? Every movie I mention, don't mention. Well, that's a pretty new one that's out on Netflix. It's already gone through an award cycle. Yeah, but I was going to watch it. All right. All right. What is it?

Oh, They Look Up. Yeah. I was going to watch it. All right. All right. What is it? Oh, they look up at the end. Yeah. I was going to. All right, let me rephrase the question. If something terrible went down, do you think the super rich, the Illuminati, would have a way to get out of here? They're already gone. Yeah, dude, the Denver airport underneath. Oh, man.

Yeah, they would have. They did in Moonfall. Wait, yeah. Was it Moonfall? Don't look up. No. It was. Yeah, in Moonfall, they all go somewhere.

They all have this. They all fly and go to this. I think it's Moonfall. It's one of his movies. And they all go to this uh fly let's say receive generally negative reviews i mean i thought it was super fun what about elysium yeah or something like that with matt damon where he's like wearing the robot suit or whatever and the earth is destroyed and all the rich live up in a uh what is it elysium so i never saw that i watched that is it Yeah, it's pretty good.

I mean, it probably bombed too, but it's pretty good. Yeah, it's fun. What's up with Matt Damon? All of these are living somewhere. We got to go rescue him. Did you say Matt Damon? Yeah. Yeah.

The Martian and Interstellar. The Martian. You know, the Martian won like best comedy or something. It was nominated. Yeah. Golden Globe. Golden Globe's comedy slash musical. Yeah.

It had some funny moments in it. Yeah. So some of the suggestions they gave, like if war broke out or somebody tried to overtake us, one, LASIK eye surgery. Because when you're living off the grid, you can't be depending on people, contacts or glasses. Interesting. I have LASIK. Yeah.

Some good one day. I'll stick with the glasses. Yeah. Why is that? I don't want people digging around in my eyes. I mean, I know that a lot of people have success why why is that you don't i don't want people digging around in my eyes i mean i know that a lot of people have success with it but i don't like it well i'm saying you should do it now before it gets evil yeah so you want to do it now where it's still very politely done yeah you do it later when it's evilly done yeah so dig it around yeah

yeah i did it 10 years ago it's awesome yeah and does it stay forever or does it go away it's supposed to yeah I thought it went away no you might eventually need readers

or something like that yeah but right now I don't I mean I think I have 2015 vision wow

maybe I could there's a couple times now I can see like stuff's a little bit harder for me to see but I don't know some of it could be a mix of you know but I can see stuff's a little bit harder for me to see. But I don't know. Some of it could be a mix of getting old.

But I don't think I'll ever need glasses besides readers. You don't care enough at this point. Something a little blurry, you're like, I don't even care. No, I mean, I can see. Last time I went to the doctor, I was like 20, 15. Yeah. And so, I mean, I'll probably do to go to eye doctor again. But it's, yeah, I was like, yeah, I mean, it's pretty good.

And then as they age, you know, you just have trouble reading something. I don't have trouble looking at something on someone's phone. Like, I have a lot of friends that are like, you know, Lark does. Like, you know, I like hand on my phone and they're like, whoa, whoa. Like, you can't even, you're not allowed to hand it to them within a 30 feet radius because they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. They got to hold it back. You're talking about, dude, Nick Novicki on his phone.

Well, Nick's the best. Nick goes. If you ever see Nick Novicki on his phone, he just goes. That's not an exaggeration. Is he legally blind? Yeah yeah he had some eye stuff uh not legally he's close he has some eye stuff and then yeah i knew a guy we used to wait tables together and he would get so close to the screen like to to put in the order yeah it's like cheers dude it's like i know you got a thing going on but we're in a hurry. Yeah, we got to go. Yeah.

Another thing they suggest, especially with a big city, have a motorcycle. Because when there's gridlock and everybody's trying to get out of town, you need a motorcycle to get off the street. Get an electric bike. Yeah, electric bike. Yeah, e-bike. Better have a gun, too, if you're on that motorcycle. Just to get your whole family out of town with a motorcycle. You're like, see you guys.

Give them those little things on the side. That's about it. Well, you have a helicopter. I mean, Burr talked about it in his act. He's got his helicopter license. It's basically just so you can go up. Straight up and out. Straight up and out.

It's got to be able to own a helicopter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean, look, if your priorities can be whatever your priorities are going to be. I mean, I don't know how much helicopters. I'm sure they're very expensive, but I'm sure you can find a helicopter that I don't know. You know, if this was your like life. Yeah. You could find someone that's not a millionaire.

That's like, well, I got a helicopter. You know, he saved up. He saved up. He figured out some way to get what he needed, what he needed to get out. If he's true, you know. So out in New Mexico, they're building these things called earth ships and is basically recycled material,

like old tires and stuff like that. It's a hundred percent, uh, off the grid. Um, don't need, I think they have solar panels and you have to build a water system, but our friend,

comedian friend, Chad Ryden has bought one or he's bought land he's moving to new mexico in a couple weeks and he's building the earth ship oh really live off the grid wow yeah yeah what is it just railing about all that stuff yeah so this is an earth ship and this is the like i swore he was making fun of me about stuff yeah well it's because you weren't going far enough yeah you're staying in mcminnville I swore he was making fun of me about stuff like that long ago. Well, it's because you weren't going far enough. You're staying in McMinnville.

So they're selling these as... Well, you buy land and then you have to build it. So he's looking for help now to build it. I think he's gone out there and helped others build their earthship. He bought land from a woman, I believe, who sold pot. Pot's illegal out there. So she made her money off selling pot, and now he's bought some land, and he's going to build an earthship. Wow. He's going to live in New Mexico in the desert.

And the idea is they're fully self-sufficient out there? Yep. You've got solar-powered, I'm guessing. Yep. You've got to build some type of cistern for clean water and stuff like that. And then there's no – so your phone, that stuff is gone? I mean, I guess you could still use your phone. Yeah.

But if everything went down, it's almost like you would just lose cell service. Yeah, and that's about it. And that's about it. You'd be able to do everything else. Yeah, the rest is self-powered. I get the appeal of it, man. I truly get the appeal of... Would you even know, though, if it went down?

If you're living out in an Earth ship and everything collapses, do you even know though if it went down if you're living out in an earth ship and and everything collapses do you even know yeah uh oh that everything collapsed well maybe when you see the people running towards your earth like noah's ark yeah hey it was a good idea chad i'm sorry i made fun of you yeah Yeah. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I like that he's doing it. Yeah. I definitely love that. And then, but it's like, that's the only thing that made me nervous is like, you're doing something that everybody knows about.

So it's like, you'd be able to say, go build a nurse ship, but go do it and don't tell anybody where it's at. Yeah. But, yeah. Yeah. I like it. I think he wants to build like a comedy commune where comedians can come hang out, do some shows. Yeah. All of it. I'll be, yeah, like a comedy commune where comedians can come hang out, do some shows.

Yeah. All of it. I'll be, yeah, I'm going to Albuquerque next year. In the fall. Chad, so I'll come see your earth ship. I've driven across New Mexico and like for hours not seeing another person. Yeah. I mean, it's.

It's out there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Breaking Bad. Drew Goddard, who wrote Martians from New Mexico. Oh, really? That's probably where they film a lot of the Mars footage. Yeah.

Yeah. He wrote it? Yeah, yeah. The guy wrote a book about it, then he wrote. Yeah, he directed it. Whatever they do. Yeah. I don't think he directed it.

I think he... Oh, he did the screenplay. Yeah, the screenplay. Yeah. So the Arctic World Archives, another place where they're storing all of our information

in case things go down. Also in Norway, very close to the Global Seed Vault. Putting a lot of... A lot of stuff in Norway. We're really banking on Norway to keep it together, huh?

Yeah. I just think it's the best climate, they think. Nothing to do... What's their climate there? Cold. Oh, yeah. But then it's What's their climate there? Cold. But then it's in a vault that's also cold.

But if electricity goes out, it's not going to immediately just ruin. Right, right. Because it's so cold. But we trust them more than we trust Canada. I think it's a world problem. I think it's not a, yeah. It's not like China or Russia or something. It's Norway. Yeah, they just kind of leave everybody alone, right? Norwegians are good people. Yeah. yeah it's not like china russia or something like or it's like it's norway yeah they haven't they just kind of leave everybody alone right norwegians are good people yeah i'm not saying they're not

and i think it's literally it's not maryland best place to you know to live if the world if a meteor hits earth i think everybody's wars will probably calm down well you'd hope so well but i mean i think you would like just be like well well, we all got to survive. Like, you know what I mean? Like, then Norway's got all the power. So if everything, if something goes down,

they have all the power. But I guess we would go tackle. Yeah, immediately. You know what? Yeah. There's only one flight out there. All right.

You better go and book that ticket. You just got to book it every day. Just be like, dang, I wish I didn't build an Earth ship. Yeah. I think they're,

so they're putting this on like film, like a little digital film, like paintings and plans and stuff like that. It's almost like if everything went bad and years from now, someone came visit our planet, they could look and see what we did and could recreate it.

Oh, that's nice. It's not like a literal painting of the Mona Lisa stored in there, things like that. It's a little scrapbook of our time here on Earth. Yeah. So they can do, and we just ask, could you mind doing that? We're gone. Yeah, recreate all this.

Could you mind just doing exactly what we had? Because obviously it worked out for us. Here's what we were doing that we thought worked. And you're like, yeah, we'll go do our own thing, man. We're a new Earth now. We're just going to start over. Well, with those spaceships, the Saturn 1 and 2 we talked about, we sent out, they've got records and all kinds of stuff on them.

They've left our solar system. Do you know about them, Dusty? I don't know about them. What is it? Saturn 1 and Saturn 2, I think. Or is it Voyager 1 and 2? Voyager 1 and 2. We sent these probes out.

We just kind of shot them out into the universe. All right. The thinking is eventually, I mean, eventually they'll run into something, right? Oh, yeah. So we loaded it up with the best of humanity. We loaded it up with a record of sounds of a baby laughing, of running water. We put some math books in there. We put, I think, a little Johnny B. Good.

Yeah. Chuck Berry. Yeah. Chuck Berry on a record. Send it out there, and the aliens are going to find it one day and discover who we are from these records. Yep. It's called the Golden Record.

What do you think about that? Well, I like the record. Yeah. But, yeah, I mean, I don't know. You know what I mean? They're always, like, shooting a probe out, and there's things apparently rolling around on Mars. I know. You know what I mean's things apparently rolling around on Mars. I know.

You know what I mean? They found a cave on Mars. Yep. Yep. So. I mean, they were like trying to get gas to go down and they're like, well, we got a thing out on Mars. Yeah. Yeah.

That is gas prices. Gas prices are like, that's all right. Yeah. We got a basketball hoop on Mars. They keep bringing up dumb stuff. You're like, God, dude, I can't get any baby for me. Oh, yeah, well, Jupiter has, they do pickleball up there. It's the most popular sport.

Yeah, and you're like, on Jupiter? It's enough to get you. They do pickleball. That's where we got it from. Yeah, it's so bad now they're trying to be like, oh, there's aliens, guys. Apparently, they did a whole thing on it, and no one watched it. No one cared that there were aliens. Who put it up?

I don't know. The news? Are you talking about recently? Yeah. Like last week. Yeah. They're basically coming clean. They're just like, yeah, they're here. clean they're just like they're here

that was a congressional hearing first time in 50 years anything to get us to not no I think that's about did it already happen or is it about to happen it happened last week but they said

basically nothing yeah that's because they don't say anything yeah the good stuff was classified they said yeah of course yeah

yeah so food prices some people argue it's going up because these food storage plants are all being destroyed yeah you know about this yeah i think you've seen you know that's dusty yeah i mean there seems to be a lot of accidents happening yeah now snopes is debunked it as being anything but just your average accidents yeah but a lot of people think there's something undermining that's something bad's

gonna go down snopes a little suspect too the year of the accident yeah it's like a lot of stuff they've all had fires or fires planes crashed into them and yeah it's just a bunch of like how many of them are uh two dozen i think yeah that's a lot 24 of them that's a trend yeah yeah snopes is yeah Snopes is sketchy. They're like, oh, listen, guys, that's all fake. Yeah. We looked into it. Who are you?

We're a website. That guy right there, that's the hearing last week on Alien, Scott Bray, that guy right there. I'm friends with him. Really? On Facebook, he and his wife share, they're one of these that share a Facebook page, but his wife and I graduated high school together and we were friends. Oh, wow.

And now he's the deputy director of naval intelligence? Yeah, I had no idea what he did in DC. She was always super smart, but apparently. He was the spokesperson last week for these UFOs. Well, get the scope. How's Scott doing? Yeah. Huh?

Did you ask her that? How's Scott doing? Yeah. He's doing all right. Yeah. Yeah. Get him on the pod. About doing? Yeah. Huh? Did you ask her that? How's Scott doing? Yeah. He's doing all right. Yeah. Yeah. Get him on the pod. About aliens.

Yeah. He knows about aliens. That or the guy that got his legs bitten off by a shark. Well, I feel like it was episode two of this pod. We talked about that documentary about Unsolved Mysteries. Did you always say pod? I do when I'm using it, in the context of which I was using it earlier.

You don't like that, do you? I don't like that. Do we call it the cast? Okay, that's okay. No. Maybe the podcast. How do you feel about sewed instead of episode? That's crazy.

That was a good sewed. That's crazy. You don't like that? The epi? Who's not? What? How busy is your schedule that you can't? What do you have going on?

It's not a question of time. It kind of is. It's a colloquialism. It's just, it sounds nice. It was fun. I was a great soad. I was a great soad. People say ep a lot.

I don't care for that as much. Soad is fun to me it's but it but it's also like why or why is it like changing why is everything changing to be uh just quicker like it you know it's i don't know just being different to be different is what how i look at it that thing that that's what I have a problem with it. So if it's like, pod, I could kind of, I get, you know, I don't know. I just feel you say what it is. If I feel like I'm trying something,

that's what I have a problem with. So if I think, if I said you watch that ep, like I think you would know that I am- You dropped off so quick. You watch that ep? Ep. Yeah. About four eps quick. Watch that. Yep. Yeah.

Yep. About four yips in. Like, I don't believe the person saying that is doing it authentically. I think it's like, you're doing it. It's just not. I like,

I almost understand like kids doing it. Cause it's like, there's almost is kind of authentic because they're all learning how to like, like, like children. Okay. They're learning how to talk. So it's like when I see is kind of authentic because they're all learning how to like children. Okay. They're learning how to talk. So it's like when I see an adult do it, you go, that's not, you weren't a kid when that happened.

Okay. So don't, you can't just go back and make up. Like what if your dad calls you and goes, I'm watching this new Netflix show. How many soads are you in? That would be weird. I would call the hospital. But it's all about context. Sometimes you're just having a conversation with a friend, you're just being a little silly,

being a little goofy, having a little fun. You go, ah, it's a great soad. Well, when you're hanging out with your other 28-year-olds, 30-year-olds, then yeah, you guys, y'all are probably all doing that kind of stuff. Okay. What should I call it?

Stories or programs? Yeah. I would like programs. You old scouts? Yeah. I would like programs. We watch our stories. Yeah.

Yeah. There's been a few end-of-the-world predictions that, surprise, did not work out. The 2012 Mayan calendar, a lot of people thought that that was gonna be in the world i like that one some people think that they have some theories that they think the world did end yeah and we're just that's why we wrote you on this podcast living in the aftermath now oh really and like things have changed you know i quit drinking in 2012 and i like that's it you know i mean It ended for me. I've heard people say that.

And some people say that there is a shift, like something's wrong with our calendar and that we're like eight years off. So that actually 2020 was the Mayan calendar 2012. Yeah. And that it ended then. And so it ended. so right now does nothing matters well it's like though at least the way we knew it it ended you know i mean like 2020 was a wild time i'm not saying it's real but some people say like it's just a different like we're just at a different thing yeah it is crazy how different like 80s and 90s and even 2000s. Like if you think back, you're like, God, it was so much easier.

But I mean, stuff is easy now. I mean, look, you got a podcast. I mean, Bates is basically famous. Never could have happened in the 90s. I mean, if it wasn't for this. And he worked for a TV station in the 90s. It was still never. Still 20 years knowing you're shot. It was still never. 20 years, no one knew.

Never on the table. Technology alone, he's out here. He does cameo. You do cameo? Yeah. I did. It's a couple months ago where my flight was so delayed getting out because of snow. I got stuck in Atlanta and, um, um, I had to stay, spend the night in Atlanta airport. So I just found a, uh, one of the gates that was just empty and just went and slept on

the floor there. And it was a Southwest terminal and I was sleeping pretty good. And I just finally wake up and I kind of hear some stuff. And they had lined up southwest for the flight. And they were above me. B-31 through 60 was right over top of me. And I just got my coat over me like this. And I just had to get up, excuse me, excuse me, compose myself and move to another gate that was that was empty

because i just went back to sleep i found another empty gate yeah what time was that that was like the earliest that was like 6 a.m but i'd been up all night so i was just trying to lay back down i memorized the the greeting from the atlanta mayor because i heard it so many times that night that I had it down to memory, but I say that to say, well, I don't know now, but he's like, what?

Welcome to Atlanta. Whether you're a native, uh, Atlantean or visiting to whatever, come see, you know, I don't know. I can't remember the rest of it,

but at the time I had it, but Ruth, Ruth said, I knew a lot of stuff at the time well yeah that's my point ruth said uh if you want a cameo from brian you can pay money and go do it or just go to the atlanta airport and find a homeless guy laying on the ground and go up to him did you so when you lay down at the gate, I mean, you lay next to the – you didn't, like, look at the surroundings? I got up as close to the glass, the window.

I know, but, like, where they line up is as close to the glass and the window. So, like, you didn't see the number thing, like, that was all there? Well, I thought I was pretty far down down but that line was pretty long yeah yeah there was a couple other people that were sleeping they already had their corners so i just had to grab a spot were you staying in your exact gate no you were at a different gate yeah i found it an empty one yeah at the time but people are already in the corner it would be something if that were your spot though you just woke up and stood up and like, all right, I'm in line. Walked right on the plane.

If I'd have found like B-32 and just laid right there, got my spot. Yeah. Yeah, I got to my hotel that night, and it got there so late, they'd given away my room, and it was completely full. And I was walking in the middle of the night with my bags in a bad part of Atlanta, hotel to hotel, and they were all full. And it was pouring down. You didn't look at it on your phone?

You just knocked on all the hotel doors? Excuse me, do you have vacancy? Good sir. Good sir. Any room in the inn for a weary traveler? That's brutal. So wait, you checked in so late. Why did you, because your flight was-

It took my flight so long to get out of Nashville because of snow. Yeah. That when we finally got there, it was after midnight and they had- So you're walking around Atlanta. Where's your hotel? Yeah, then were you on a layover? It was, yes. I was just going to, I thought if I, there was snow in Nashville.

I thought if I could get to my first leg, Atlanta, then I could get out the next morning because I had an early flight. So I went ahead and went to Atlanta. And so you booked a hotel in Atlanta. Last minute, like when I finally realized our flight was getting out of Nashville, I just went on and grabbed a cheap hotel near the airport. Yeah. And then when I got there, we got there so late that they had given away. And then they're like, we're completely full. And then that was like a remod.

And then there's a Red Roof Inn next door. I walked over there. They're full. You're lucky to be alive. Micro hotel. I know. Then I thought, I'm just going to go to that wall. It's raining now. It's snowing in Nashville, but it's just raining in Atlanta I thought I'm just gonna go to that It's raining now

It's snowing in Nashville But it's just raining in Atlanta And I'm just out there 4 a.m. With suitcases With suitcases I thought I'm just gonna go to that

Waffle house Dry off And try to figure something out I go over there Because of COVID They won't let you in You just gotta order At the window

So I'm just stuck So I finally just Called an Uber And said Take me back to Atlanta airport Rejected by the Waffle house Called an Uber and said, take me back to Atlanta airport. Rejected by the Waffle House. Called an Uber and said,

do you mind just driving around for about five, six hours? So I could sleep in the back seat. But yeah, but I am on Cameo. So another end of the war prediction. I vaguely remember this. Harold Camping was this Christian radio broadcaster. You guys know him harold camping had all these stations and he said the world was going to end may 2011 and he said that five months so it's going to be like the the rapture all the good people leave and then the bad people stay and then five months later in, what would that be, December, October,

then there's the second coming where Christ just does it all. Okay. So May 2011 rolls around and nothing happened. He had the exact date and nothing happened. So then he's like, oh, you know what? I miscalculated. It's just all going to happen in October, the whole thing. Oh, wow.

Just one big shebang. One fell swoop. So he doubled down he doubled down and then october 2011 and people quit their jobs because they're like what's the point uh some people like committed suicide which i'm not sure why that doesn't make a lot of sense yeah i don't how many people like how many people did that committed suicide not a lot one lady tried to like she like can't even blame harold for that yeah the guy suicide? Not a lot. One lady tried to... You can't even blame Harold for that one. Yeah. The guy jumped out of a window

and killed himself. And so the lady cut her wrists and cut her kids. They all survived. Yeah, that's... I mean, people are crazy. And you can't... I mean, that doomsday clock can make someone do something. Anything can make anybody do anything.

That's true. There's no way this could be that... How people like quit their jobs it's like there can't be a lot i'm not saying it's a lot but quitting the job i get but uh can you imagine going back to work on that monday george costanza yeah you told your boss off on friday because you think the world's ending saturday yeah just ask off like i'm gonna be off yeah well it's like they wanted why did they quit the job? Did they quit before? Because they're like, well, I'm going to go try to live a life before, I guess. Maybe.

I even envision he just wanted to tell his boss off and he thought he won't be back. But maybe he just wanted to quit. I'd want to know how many people. I don't think it was a ton. I know, but I- Could you look that up? Yeah, how many people? I don't know if you can, but I mean, that's a lot of stories that get crazy because everybody's

like, this guy was doing it. And you're like, it's eight people. Right. Yeah. And you're like, well, those eight people were- It was his cousins. Another planet. Yeah.

Like they, yeah. They're anything when it's- Especially suicide. I mean, really, like that doesn't even make sense. Yeah. The world's ending in May and you're like, well, let me just do it now. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't have till May to wait. Yeah. I agree. We got an elderly man in Taiwan did it on May 5th. It was a few weeks, you know, a few months before. And then there were other unconfirmed reports of it. So no real

hard numbers. It led to nearly 40 deaths. They're right below it. What does that say? Prompted in part by scripture rumors and late night radio talk shows, the group's fanaticism led to nearly 40 deaths. So there's an exact hard number. Yeah. I mean, that's

what we're looking for. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Is that you go, there's one guy in this article, there's not much else. I go, well, there's a thing that says it led to nearly 40. There's an exact thing. Yeah, nearly is not an exact thing. I don't know how. Yeah, let's not even talk about it.

Alright, one guy. One guy that got specific about his arm. Look, you feel bad for these people. That guy shouldn't have done that. It's like everybody's like majority of people are normal.

I just don't know how that prediction leads to death. That guy was 89. Yeah, and he died three years later. Oh. But yeah, he admitted after the second- Of embarrassment? Yeah, yeah, I mean-

He predicted it a few times. That one got the most traction. After that one, he said, I'm not going to do anymore. It's sinful for me to even be predicting. Oh, that's good. Because- I could see it leading to his death. Yeah.

But not anybody else's. Yeah, the deaths don't really make, you know, because it would be like if you're listening to him, I would imagine, I mean,

because you won't go to heaven if you kill yourself. So why would you, why, you know, unless someone's like, well, I don't want to, you know, it's like,

gee, he's about to come. I don't want to go live with him forever. What am I supposed to do? Maybe they thought it would be. You're never going to see him. That's a good point. Maybe they thought that would be more torturous on earth, so they'd kill themselves.

But the point of it being is he studied the Bible. That's what's crazy. Yeah. he studied the Bible. That's what's crazy. Yeah. The point of it being is like that, if you're studying the Bible

and this, I would just think that that's opposite of what you're supposed to do. I agree. It seemed like you'd just get your life together if you're concerned

before May 21st. But quitting the job, I've made people, I got someone to quit their job one time to go to the beach. You know what I mean? It's like, people are ready to quit their jobs. People are ready to quit their job one time to go to the beach. It's like people are ready to quit.

People are ready to quit their jobs. Yeah. This one said Harold Camping's wife described him as quote flabbergasted that the apocalypse didn't start over the weekend. Imagine looking out the window. Yeah. My God. Yeah. He goes, I can't.

Can't wrap my head around it. Yeah. Looks fine out there. See, this is a horn honk. There it is. There it is. And then they go, no, that was just light screen. He goes, oh.

I mean, this probably, that whole month was just brutal for him and his wife. Just like every, you know, did you hear that? There's a wind out. We got wind chimes. And he goes, and it's not like he thinks it's a ghost. He thinks the world is. Yeah, it's starting. It's starting.

It's starting. Buckle up. Let it happen. The food's here. He goes, we did Uber Eats. They're ringing the doorbell. It's a guy. A couple more.

There was a hen that was laying eggs that said a message, Christ is coming. And people thought that was a sign, but it turns out the owner, it was just a trick. She was pushing the eggs back up in the hen. So the eggs spelled out, Christ is coming? Yeah. But she was really just painting them, painting it on the eggs and then putting it back in the chicken. Jeez, that poor hen. I know.

Yeah. She put it back in the chicken. Jeez, that poor hen. I know. She put it back in the chicken. Oop! That hen. This is every time. He's like, smoking a cigarette. He's like, oop! Oop!

He goes, yeah. Doesn't know what's happening. That's about it. All right. That's a good time. Well, fun episode. No doomsday. Yeah.

We did one on the best time to be alive, and now we've countered. How many deaths did that lead to? The hand one? Yeah. Inconclusive. That hand. The hand killed itself. Inconclusive. That hen. The hen killed itself. It just goes, I can't.

I keep having the same baby. I'm not supposed to be here. If you're that woman, why are you doing that? I think she was making money off of it. People were coming to see it. They're coming to watch the chicken laying egg? This is in 1806. Oh, they had nothing to do with it.

A little context would help. I thought this was last year. I thought it was 92. Well, if it wasn't for Dusty, I'd have gotten away with it. Somebody calling me out now. 1806. That makes sense. All right. That's it. Off6. Yeah. That makes sense. Yeah.

All right. So that's it. Off the grid, we're just talking. We can do that. Did we do off the grid? That was kind of it. Oh, that was off the grid? That had nothing to do

with off the grid. Well, we talked about like if you... Oh, the earth. Yeah. You're pretty off the grid, I guess, if you're shoving eggs

back in chickens. Yeah. You ain't got a lot going on. Oh, in 1806. Yeah, you're all off the grid. They were having a grid, really. There wasn't, yeah. All right You ain't got a lot going on. Oh, in 1806. Yeah, you're all off the grid. They were having a grid, really. There wasn't, yeah. All right.

There's no grid to be on. All right, everybody. Thank you. Can we promote a show? Yeah. Aaron and I, Woodstock, Georgia, this Thursday. Oh, this Thursday. This Thursday.
