Hello, folks. Welcome to the Nateland podcast. All right, let's go, folks. Welcome to the Nateland podcast. As always, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slay we're excited that's still here what if we because we're having to pre-record this one so what if we fire you and then next week

you're not I mean well this you know this will be a good out yeah this episode so you're out of it but then

because the next next week will be live right what if he's already out oh yeah what if you're already out and, but then, because the next week will be live, right? Oh. What if he's already out? Oh, yeah. What if you're already out? And then this is awkward. Oh, like, so, you know, there'll be an episode in between.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see if he makes it through this episode. Yeah, we'll go find out. It's, you know, it's episode by episode. Yeah. Paycheck by paycheck.

Yeah. Let's start off with you guys' comments. Chuck Mulliken. Mulliken. Chuck Mulliken or Mulliken? Mulliken sounds good. Mulliken? Mulliken.

Oh, yeah. I like Mulliken. Chuck Mulliken. I like Mulliken because it sounds like a mulligan. Mulliken. That'd be a great golf name. Oh, if your last name is Mulligan? Yeah, another Mulligan and Mulliken. I like Mulligan because it sounds like a mulligan. Mulligan. That'd be a great golf name. Oh, if your last name is Mulligan? Yeah, another Mulligan and Mulligan.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of jokes there. My daughter refers to this podcast as what dad listens to when he doesn't want to think. There you go. I like that. Yeah.

That's what we want to be. That's all we want. Keep your, you know, trying to keep you on my level so when I take over the world, I've made everybody dumb as me. Yeah. Tricked them. Tricked them. Yep.

Go ahead, put your hat on. Like a Luke Wilson. What is that hat? It was a Chattanooga Lookouts. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. You just threw out the first pitch. Third game.

Oh, yeah. You threw out the first pitch. Yeah. Oh, I saw the pitch. It was good. Did you get to practice it? I did. Yeah, there was a batting cage where I got to throw a little bit before him.

It was a good pitch. It was all right. I felt good about it. A little movement on it, a little speed. Did you feel nervous? Well, I was nervous because on the way there, they called and they said, there's somebody else throwing out the first pitch too. And you can see him in the video.

He's standing very politely next to the mound. It's Memorial Day weekend. So they have a local war hero to throw out the first pitch with me. And so I meet him. He's very nice. He's wearing all Navy stuff. And they read my bio, and then they read his. And he got standing O from the crowd.

The place is going crazy. I mean, he fought in Vietnam. He's got all kinds of medals and awards and stuff. My pitch was a little better, though. You think they – Did he make a good pitch? I mean, it was good for his situation. Yeah, yeah.

For a guy that did stuff for this country, actually. Dusty, go ahead you think they um were like oh we booked this guy memorial day and then they were like and they realized it was you and they go well was he got any military that we could work with they kept digging or did he donate to the military and they just keep digging they're like we gotta get a military yeah we gotta get based this bio, we can't let this guy go. This may be the best thing going for him right now. First up, gout survivor Aaron Weber. And then you got line drive one. It's good for you.

Now, the guy, the reason we're free. That's what it felt like. All right, now there's the clowns out of the way. I had a little joke in my bio that got a legit pop from the crowd. It felt good. A little line. What was it? I said, he's a stand-up comedian, whatever,

but his baseball career was cut short in 2004 due to a lack of athletic ability. Just something simple. It got a big pop. Yeah. Felt good. Yeah. And then I got out of the way, and the hero got a standing out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was short-lived. A little laugh. They go, that's fun, you know. What's this guy doing? You can watch him feature all weekend at the Chad Newgate. I was headlining. Oh, you were headlining. Yeah.

This next guy, the guy who fell in the first pitch out, he's going to be doing the announcements at Chattanooga Catch all weekend. If you want to go watch that, get there early so you can hear him. Tim McPherson, watching y'all from Australia. Mate, I can't stop laughing every time you say dead gummit. Keep it up, guys. Like a lot of other listeners, I've got a stressful job, and I watch Nate Land because I don't have to think.

Just fun stuff. Most of it's so incorrect, it's hilarious, but no thinking required. No inappropriate stuff, so I can listen anytime I want. No politics, whatever. It's such a de-stressor every day. Dead gummit. Dead gummit's good. We're bringing that back.

Dead gummit is good. Dead gummit's good. We're bringing that back. Deadgummit is good. Deadgummit's good. Australia. Look at that. Micah Wimberly. I saw Brian open for Nate a few years back in Dallas. Nate was great, but I walked away that night mostly talking about baits. Love your stuff.

It keeps getting better. All right. Whoa. Look at that. How wild's that, dude? There you go. Threw that one in yeah full disclosure they she didn't send that to the podcast that was just me personally but i wanted to put that on there so all right oh she did she didn't want to put that out in public yeah is that what you mean not she didn't put it on the podcast she put it on my personal page

just copied it over i love it is. Is Mike a he or a she? Tough to say. So you're just bringing in your own comments? I just needed a boost, all right? Yeah. I had someone say this to me the other day. Somebody on the street said they liked me a lot. Someone called me and said, you know, the name is great, but I walked away at night mostly talking about bait

I don't get it very often so there you go Wesley Gay hey Nate Aaron and bomb shelter

and dusty you're in real afterthought there and bomb and dusty I just want to let you know that Aaron is now a source for my final speech of high school Oh, yes. You're in. Real afterthought there. And Bumsh. Oh, and Bumsh. And Dusty. I just want to let you know that Aaron is now a source.

For my final speech of high school, I decided to base my speech off of Aaron's TED Talk about failure. Aaron helped me get a 98% on the speech. Thanks a bunch. All right. All right. How about that? Didn't use Dusty's TED Talk.

It was recorded at the same time as mine. Well, you had a hot TED talk. I mean, I forgot what I was even talking about halfway through, but, uh, Dusty's TED talk was hilarious, dude. He did. What was it called though? We're having, we're having a good time. And then I forgot, I don't know. I'm not good when the, it's supposed to be serious.

So the audience wasn't laughing and I was, I blanked out and I started doing jokes. Dusty kept going. There is a point. He goes, there is a point to this. I will get to it. And then he stumbled on a good point. You're like, oh, that's it. That's what this is about.

Yeah, it was fun. So anybody can do a TED Talk. Yeah. It's pretty open these days. Pretty, pretty. And then, so you just went on and you chose failure, something you're familiar with. Right.

It was about bombing, actually. Oh, it was? Yeah, but I guess I tried to make it you can apply to failing at anything. failure something you're familiar with right yeah it's about bombing actually oh it was yeah but i guess i tried to make it you can apply to failing failing at anything how long do you talk mine was about seven minutes yeah pretty tight yeah dusty did about an hour yeah i did about 15 but the girl before me had a whole ted talk about like pooping in david's bridal yeah and so i go up and i just kind of make a joke i'm like i poop in david's bridal all the time and they left that in there the first line of dusty's ted talk is i pooped in several david's brides

and it gets a big laugh and you're like what is going on he gets into it we're having a good time so will matthews in the last 20 years or so the wwe has periodically featured celebrities to compete what i didn't say periodically periodically yeah okay awesome p is periodically is what it looks like yeah periodically periodically? Yeah. Okay. Awesome. Periodically is what it looks like. Yeah. Periodically featured celebrities to compete in matches at special events like WrestleMania. Drew Carey, Johnny Knoxville, Stoop Dogg, and Donald Trump

have all wrestled. If WWE approached Nate about wrestling a match, would he do it? And would his match be a singles match, or would he tag with Aaron and Big Boss Bates? And what would their tag name be? Yeah, I mean, I probably would do it just because it would be crazy to do it. I mean, that would be fun.

Just to walk out and feel that would be amazing. I'd like to be a manager. Yeah. I would have you. I mean, I would have no damage done to me, and you would be. Just body slam, thrown out of the ring? I'd have it be just. Right when we turn a tag out, you're like, give it up.

It would be us. Nate, Nate. I would have me and Aaron turn on you you yeah you turn heel yeah and then uh do it just mainly for that comment you put up at the top uh that you brought over from an outside source yeah maybe that's why i would do it is uh no it's i would do it, it'd be awesome. It'd be great. Yeah, it'd be, you know, just feel that. You got to be famous, though. I mean, they have to.

Everybody has to know who you are. Well, Pat McAfee just did it. Yeah, but he's in that world. That's true. You know. And he's pretty famous. Yeah. The people that, yeah, I think a lot of his listeners are probably big WWE fans.

And then Michael Wimberly comes out and goes, I never meant it. It's all right at the end. I never meant it. I was saying something nice. Amanda Schweda. I'm recently engaged and would absolutely love him to officiate or just attend our wedding. It's about you. My fiance and I are huge fans of Nate in the podcast.

The wedding is next September, so he has plenty of time to prepare Aaron and butter my biscuits. Would obviously be invited to. And as an added bonus, there will be a candy bar at the wedding, Sour Patch included. Thank you for your consideration. I mean, a candy bar at a wedding. I've never even heard of such thing. That's pretty great. That's pretty great. I made a candy bar at a wedding. I've never even heard of such a thing. That's pretty great. That's pretty great.

You get a donut bar at mine. Yeah. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's right. I remember that. I remember that. Crispy cream.

You add a couple of donuts. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's good. Yeah. You come from money like that, you can do stuff like that. Yeah. I don't have anything. I think we served, like, make your own pasta.

I think that's honestly what we had. And I think people liked it because it was, like, very basic. I would love that. Yeah. Yeah. I'll see what happens next September. I've never done a wedding. So, you know.

Brayden Klein, stop reading comments there we go brayden's not a fan but let me tell you something that's what a lot of people love the most for one they love to see if their garments gonna get red and secondly if they didn't have an outlet to correct all of our nonsense and all our mistakes i think people would lose their mind. I get that. That was the original point. That was the reason for comments was to give you, because we're going to say so much stuff wrong, I don't want you to have to feel like you're going crazy. Yeah. Or do you think maybe this is actually coming from a place of love from Brayden saying like, hey, listen, you should stop reading these comments for your mental health. You know, like it's gotten away from you.

It doesn't matter. I mean, if, you know, Braden, again, go look at YouTube. You can move this wherever you want. Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't DVR a show and just be like, why do y'all do the slow parts? You're like, move it to the parts that you want to go to. That's the wonderful thing. I mean, like, you know, we're reading these ads.

I know people, thankfully, a lot of people, they listen to these ads and they support us. But you're like, I mean, there's so many ways, you know. It's so easy to skip. We bookmark it for you. It's all so easy. Yeah, YouTube, everything's. Timestamps below. Timestamps below.

You see everything. Go, just skip to the thing that you want and then get going he'd do that he'll never see us talking about his comment yeah he just skips them yeah well i mean you know and rightfully so this might really uh he might be into it now though now you've read the comment yeah he's like oh this is really working yeah Yeah, yeah. This works for me. Yeah, yeah. It's always a weird kind of, you know. If there's no outlet, then I guess I can see. Like, if there's no, like, well, we can't fast. But when there's, you can go around anything. You can hear just the end and listen to the last five minutes

and then be done. Brian Botwell. I'm a professor. Botwell? That just sounds like a name for Brian. Oh, Brian Botwell. This is a real person. Yeah.

I'm a professor at a large SEC university, and the conversation on peer review from a while back was just so great. Wrong in so many ways, right in others, and generally just a scattershot of nonsense. My parents listen to this. We can't. I didn't mean that. As someone who makes his living in the confines of peer-reviewed science,

it just made me incredibly happy. finds of peer-reviewed science. It just made me incredibly happy. I've recently started a project to better understand why comedy and horror, two things that seem like opposites, go together so well in so many ways. We've got some ideas, but I'd love to really know your thoughts. Yeah, I don't know if I even understand what you mean by that yet. So, Aaron, what is all this?

He said he's working on a project to understand why comedy and horror work so well together when they seem to be exact opposite. It's extremes. So, the both are extremes. Comedy is an extreme. Funny stories are kind of extremes. Like, even though your story has truth in it you can exaggerate it or make it it's a bigger it means you're madder about it

than you technically might have been and whatever and horror is like I mean it's Jason like Friday the 13th which is an extreme of someone killing someone but does it work well together I think so I don't watch a lot of horror

I always say horror I don't watch a lot of horror. I always say horror. I don't watch a lot of horror films. Horror? My wife makes fun of me. Horror. Yeah, I just say scary movies. Yeah, that may be the way to go. Yeah.

Horror. It's like an old summer horror. Horror. The horror. We're watching a horror flick tonight. What? I don't know. Do you say other words that rhyme with that

the same way? I say Mira. Mira? Yeah. Is that a mirror? Yeah. Mira? Yeah.

I think that's about it. What if you married a girl named Mira? That'd be tough. That'd be tough. She would be upset about me pronouncing it wrong all the time.

Just be, be called her Mirror. Yeah. And then you go, and then, Mirror, look in the mirror. Yeah go uh how you doing you go yeah me and my wife mirror we just came in and i'm trying to look for a new mirror a little bit younger mirror you got them and they're like what is this thing you're talking about your wife need a new mirror i need a new mirror this mirror a mirror i got is just old as you can obviously see it's old as dirt and mirror is

holding the mirror and he goes this mirror is old as dirt and uh a lot of cracks in it a lot of cracks i want to get a new mirror don't i'm not this mirror doesn't excite me anymore and so uh yeah what do you got you know the guy my mom's name is edna yeah right and her mom always called her edner yeah and it's like you named her yeah you can't get her name wrong yeah you can't name her and then not do it i said i think we say her last name wrong my mom's no yeah i think i think my family says your mom's last name wrong. Oh, yeah. No, I think we say Bargetzi, and I think it's Bargotsi. Okay. But I think we've southerned it. Oh, I've always said Bargotsi.

So am I doing it the right way, you think? Bargetzi. Not by the way you do it, but by the way you think. Probably the right, yeah. Most people do it the way, and I'm just guessing. I think we say it, but I imagine. There was a guy, Arthur Ravenel in Charleston, and the bridge was called the Ravenel Bridge,

and nobody knew how to pronounce it. And they brought him on the radio one time to clear it all up. And then they were like, he said, Ravenel. And they were like, are you sure? And then by the end, it's like nobody was clear on how to pronounce it. like i don't know yeah he's like no it's ravnell ravnell they're like ravnell and then like it didn't clear it out what was the other one ravinelle ravinelle yeah yeah ravinelle yeah he's a you ever see that show southern charmed it'd be his grandfather it's about yeah yeah that's how i know that name. Yeah. Thomas Ravenel.

Wait, what is it? You know that show Southern Charm that's like real housewives, but it's just people in Charleston? Yeah, I guess. One of the guys is of the Ravenel family. Okay. And they talk a little bit about that. Mm.

Mm. But comedy and horror work well together. Yeah. It's all about tension. Welcome to Aaron Land. He's got a guest today. That's right. Justin Slater's talking about the Ravenel Bridge.

All right, a little Ravenel history. In comedy and horror, it's about tension being released. But they're being released in different ways. So I think that can complement each other very nicely. Back to Nate Land. He gave the real answer over there. Yeah. Nate Land would love to hear about it.

Oh, I just did that one. Turn it back over. Braden Klein, stop reading comp. God, another one? He did it again? Micah Wimbley. Klein was great. Paul Collier, when I was in high school,

I was so sad about Taco Bell taking away the chili cheese burrito. I decided one Saturday to write a letter to Taco Bell and drop it off at their company headquarters, which happened to be in the town next to mine. The office was closed, but the security guard took my letter, photocopied it, and taped it to the CEO computer monitor for when they got to the office that Monday morning. the CEO computer monitor for when they got to the office that Monday morning. It wasn't a week later that only my Costa Mesa Taco Bell location had the burrito back, and I was able to enjoy it for the next three years before they took it out for good.

I signed my letter, local sports hero, under my name. Maybe Nate should try that for the nation to get it back for good since he has more clout than me uh i don't mean you you run this town you're the local hero uh all right yeah maybe i'll write him a letter i did a i did a zoom for him and i told him talk about yeah wow and i and i but i said i will y'all bring it back and And they were laughing and I was just very... Like what? Yeah.

I go, I haven't even started yet. I don't get why the letter was photocopied. Did he not trust the security guard to just take the... He's like, yeah, I don't trust you to photocopy it. That way if you don't deliver it, I will still be able to mail it yeah yeah the office was closed but the security guard took my letter photocopied it and taped it to the ceo computer monitor uh yeah i think the security guard lost their job like you're just going into the ceo desk, taping things there. Yeah, just think about every chili cheese burrito you ate, that guy was out on the street.

Like, you're not allowed to use the copier with my clothes. Yeah. And don't come into my office. Yeah. Maybe Paul, maybe let us know why. Why was it photocopied? I guess he wanted to keep it to, maybe it was to mail it. He's like, I'll just photocopie it.

I'll have one. You mail it. Because he's like, maybe the guy's like, let's try to do both. You should mail it in, but also we're photocopying it. Andrew Dorfman, who's an owner of Zany's, told Dusty and I a hilarious story back when he was a comic in the 80s, and he was submitting to clubs. Back in the day, you'd have to send a, you remember, VHS tapes

and physical headshots and he didn't have any headshots so he went to the library and stuck his face in the photocopier like face all smashed up and those were his headshots yeah and he sent those to clubs he said people loved it they thought it was so funny and unique just his face all smushed up against the glass that's so great. I think I know now why he did it. I feel like there was more to it. Maybe he also put it on someone else's desk, but he only had one

letter, so they made a copy so he could put it on two. That makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense. Did you leave that out? Yeah. Oh, you left out the explanation of... This guy left a long comment. I mean, some of these comments are much harder.

Let me tell you the story of the day I wrote a letter. Yeah. When I started, I mean, you had to send VHS. Really? I was in that. Did you send VHS? Yeah. Yeah, I'm the older one.

I went through that, the VHS and the real headshots. So you would just send boxes to clubs and stuff? You would send – the headshots were big. You had to get those. And then – I mean, my first videos, they might be in here, which I got to give them to Jim Roth from Conway College. I've been telling him I would get them. They're VHSs.

But, yeah, you would get that, and would get that and you would mail it to the club or something for them to look at. And then it's like, I remember it was still like when email started coming around, someone would still be like, well, mail us. Because some clubs didn't really know email. And then you start going like, but I think email is like a little bit easier to do. And you'd want to say, can I just eat? But it's not like I even really know how.

Then a website came. You're like, well, just check out this way. And then some would not know. The whole switch was pretty crazy because you just would see these ways come easier. And you're like, it's crazy. And then when you get to like filming your own set on a phone and you're like i mean do we you'd have to bring a legit camera yeah yeah that's like when i was trying to send out stuff they would say you need this epk the electronic press kit and it would be this this and this and i'm like well

what if i just put all that on a website and then sent them my website? People would be like, no, they don't want that. They want to see an EPK. And I'm like, yeah, but this is easier. Why would they not just want to click this link? Yeah, some places still like that. Yeah. All right.

Steve Crawford. I was catching up on them during a recent road trip podcast and heard the small part talking about Ted Williams' frozen head. I think it was episode 96, and I thought you guys needed to hear some more details. Apparently, at some point, Ted's freezer malfunctioned, and they had to move his head to another freezer. They needed to prop his head up another freezer they needed a they needed to prop

his head up to keep it from rolling around so naturally they used a tuna can when it refroze the can of tuna fused to his head they couldn't get the can off by hand so lab tech took the next logical step swinging at it with a Unfortunately, the first swing missed the can, but foul-tipped Ted's head, sending piece of his head flying. With an 0-1 count, he made contact on his next swing and knocked the can loose. That's crazy. I got some pictures if you want to see them. Of that?

No. I mean. Oh, my gosh. I hope Ted comes back now, and he's like golly do what where's my ear and they're like oh you know what's this tuna smell yeah he goes i i'm allergic to tuna now i used to eat it all the time did we talk about just the i can't remember do we talk about just the craziness of the biggest athlete in the world going to fight a war in the middle of his career oh yeah it's i mean just yeah a lot of them did it i think you said that's like steph curry just went to iraq right now yeah you'd be like what

well it's it's what uh elvis did it yeah i mean it's crazy you know uh pat tillman i mean like what he he left his career and like did that yeah i mean it's it's something it's it's it's special and especially back then i mean you know that like they're you know i mean they were just in cray i mean cray it was just a different time yeah pretty wild they didn't go playing a game uh derrick cochran my dad is a preacher at an assembly of god church one service our keyboard player was not at church that day. It came to the end of the service, and my dad was about to give the altar call. Being aware that the keyboard player was not there, he asked the congregation if someone

could please come and play something, meaning guitar or keyboard. A random man, possibly under the influence of something from the crowd, jumped up and went and got on the drums and just started banging out some random beats. It was one of the most awkward, greatest moments of my life. My dad learned a valuable lesson that day to always specify. Specify. Specify. Man, I was getting started the wrong way, and that's what happened. That happens in golf.

One time you get started wrong way, and you're going to get stuck in your swing. And what you got to do is you just got to step out, readjust. You got to step out and go. Specify. My takeaway is not when I take it away. So, yes, specify. If you go spee, then you're like, I can't even where to go. Spee-cify?

You don't know where to go? Specify who and what to play when asking that's I mean the guy at church the fact that he was maybe on something

well I want to know did no one come you know you do the altar call some guy comes up starts whipping out some beats no one comes

like the altar call did no one come that would make you want to go for it right what if it was a highly successful day with the drum beats people are like you know what i'm kind of feeling it now now what is an altar call what happens that's when you come up and you go if anybody wants to you know give their life to jesus come forward now and then we'll pray with you or if you got some you got some needs or if you you know you just want to pray up here so they will

ask people to physically come to the front yeah you come to the front you know it's a real humbling and people are crying and so typically you'd have a little light organ yeah playing that's so funny you're throwing the people a bone like just because it's it's a lot it's a lot to do it yeah and uh fair when you get saved like that's what you end up doing. You go, you walk up there and go do it. Personally, this is a small dream of mine. You sit in somewhere and they go, hey, guys, the comedian didn't show up. Can anybody, is there anybody out here that could do a little comedy? And then I would go, that's me.

Yeah. That's me. That's you at our rehearsal dinner. Yeah. Dusty was ready to go, popped up, did a set. Oh, yeah. I think about this when I go to a concert. I know this is so stupid, but whenever I go to a concert,

I just imagine the scenario where the act singles me out and goes, what song should I play next? I run through this in my head all the time. I don't want to pick a lame one. I don't know. I just think that's going to happen. And the last time I saw John Mayer, he did that to somebody in the crowd. He pointed at Bridgestone.

He goes, what song should I play next? And there's so much pressure to pick a cool one. I think about that every time I'm at a concert. What did they say? I'm stressed out. They said it was a deep cut. People were excited. Yeah.

Are you – how close do you sit? Not that close. Yeah. So what's your... Yeah, yeah. I'm not saying... What's your fear? I'm not saying...

Oh, God. Not saying it's a rational... Spotlight. He goes, am I crazy? Is that what John got binoculars out? Oh, gosh. He's about to... Tiny dancer.

He doesn't... Yeah. It's not a rational fear. Free bird. Free, I don't know I never I saw Ben Folds At the Ryman

And it was called The Paper Airplane Tour And what you did was They gave everybody Pieces of paper And you wrote A song request On the paper

Made a paper airplane And then threw it At the stage Yeah Just throughout the concert And then he'd get up From his piano He'd walk around

And pick one up And unfold it And play whatever song that was. And it was all his songs? It was all his songs, yeah. Yeah. Songs of his. There's a lot of people just getting hit in the eye and just. Yeah.

Yeah, a lot of bad throws going on. Yeah. Mine would never be. The idea, yeah, I guess it's a fun idea. It's something unique to do. Yeah, it's something unique to do. You also do your act. to do yeah it's something you need to also do just do your act uh a comedian doing that would be hilarious you know write my favorite mix throw it at me it's

like everything is uh i feel like music there's a lot of that where it's there is it they're like we're gonna play i mean you just got this safety net of just being like, I'm going to do. I can go play Freebird. I can go play any song. And then you're going to know it. And then we just saw Kenny. I saw Kenny Chesney with Dan and Shay. It was a big deal. I love Kenny Chesney.

He didn't play Back Where I Come From, which is a big song. And we were in Tennessee. It made me disappointed. Was it here in town? Yeah. Tennessee. It made me disappointed. Was it here in town? Yeah. The Waffle House murder suspect

or what do you call it once they do it? The killer? Okay, yeah. He's convicted, the killer. In his sin scene, they they I was like, what would you call him now?

Yeah. He's been convicted. He's the hero? Yeah. He's been convicted. He's the hero? Yeah. Brothers. In the sentencing, his defense argued he's insane. And the defense they had was he would go to Taylor Swift concerts and he would think they were dating and that she was talking directly to him. And they have all these examples, all the stuff he wrote down, these letters to Taylor and stuff.

And then I look back on that episode where Aaron shows us a video of him down front, and everyone else is singing, and he's just staring at her. The same episode where he said he helped her get her groceries in, and I think maybe there's something going on here. Yeah, I think it's all about me at the concert. I'm a step away. When you go to the bathroom, do you just keep your hat down? And you're like, excuse me, excuse me. And you're like, he's about to ask me for what song I want to do.

And you go, is he? We're in the top section. And he goes, I just don't. When you walk down the aisle of the bathroom, you're just covering your eyes, and you just don't. He goes, oh, here we go. All right. I can't even name songs. Back Where I Come From, I wanted Kenny to play that.

That's how many hits he has that he doesn't even play that song. That was a big one. Back Where I Come From was the big song. It was a giant song for me because I would listen to it every time before I did comedy when I moved to Chicago and New York. from was the big song is a giant song for me because i would listen to it every time before i did comedy when i moved to chicago new york because it was like i was just from here i'm not i don't know anybody there so on the subway i would listen to it and just it's like a reminder of home before you go out and i get yelled at by a german crowd and i don't know who's ever got

yelled at but new york here performing for just everybody in the world, and none of them want to be there. Jonathan Bailey. Nate, I'm curious if you've ever been called Nate Forgetsy. I imagine a PE teacher yelling, hey, Forgetsy, at a young Nate like the teacher on Seinfeld that called George can't stand you. Seems like you must have at some point, but if not, I just thought you could use that name along with Boppet and Gowdy McBrain.

McBrain. McBrain. Gowdy McBrain. I mean, you know, you told me I don't know how to read. So, but yeah, I guess if you want to also pile onto that, you could call me Nate Forgetsy. I don't think anybody ever no one ever really i don't remember messing with my name yeah like bargetsy was already messing enough right yeah i mean you're just this southern like what yes ma'am what's all right your name's already like why are you here you Right, yeah. It's not Smith or Slay.

Yeah, I mean, Slay's a hot one. You know what I mean? Dusty, Musty Dusty. You know, I got all those. Yeah, you get a lot of it. You don't really mess with Slay, but Dusty is. Do you get a lot of people thinking that's not your real name? Yeah. Yeah.

Because Slay is a comic term. Yeah. So you kind of lucked out on that one. Slaying it. You slayed it. I hear that a lot. Yeah. Like you're Killer Bees, basically, but you're Dusty Slay.

I can't imagine if you said Dusty Slay, if you named yourself Dusty Slay. Yeah, I mean, if it was a fake name. You wouldn't be the comic you were. Yeah, that's true. That is true. I mean, just giving yourself, I mean, Dusty is, you know, I had a joke about it at one point long ago, but, you know, like a Christmas joke, Dusty Slay kind of thing.

Yeah. A lot of fun. It only worked at Christmas time. Well, I would do the joke. I would go, you know, I'd say, you know, I'd say, I forget the joke, but I would go like uh i say i'm dusty slay right and then i would say i'd get everybody to say my last name i go dusty slay dusty slay right it's really early on and then i'd get them all to say their first name and then i would go

slay yeah and then i'd say if any of the ladies out there like the way that sounds you know i was like i am single you know what i mean because it'd be their first name and then my last name and then i had a another sleigh joke in there yeah it was a dirtier joke as it goes on but it was a good time yeah not really and these were small enough crowds that you could ask everybody in the crowd their name well you know the time i did it the first time i did it it was at this the music farm and it was like a contest and they pushed it on the radio i don't know if you know the comic kenny z he was he lived in charleston doing the radio at the time not kenny g yeah so he did you know it's probably 300 people there so the first time i did it like dusty like a lot of people said it it was that feels good yeah and then i did it one time

at an open mic and this girl heckled me about it. She goes, that was so terrible. She was the one audible voice that I was like, I'll never do that again. I can't ever stomach it. She really pierced right into my soul. She looked dead eyes with me. Because that was awful.

I'm glad you made it out of it. Yeah. A little extra. A little pizzazz it. Yeah. A little extra. Wow, that's good. A little pizzazz at the end. A little add it on. All right. This week, we are, what are we doing?

Talking about aliens because this is part two, really, because we talked about aliens before. But last month, Congress had their first congressional hearing on UAPs. That's what they call them now. They don't call them UFOs. They call them UAPs. What is that? Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. They think it gets rid of some of the stigma of flying saucers.

Hmm. And it's a little broader. You're talking about the event rather than the actual object. Yep. Right. Phenomenon. That probably makes more sense than what I just said actually and i think about it no i think they're both you know it's like um seems like a wwf wwe kind of thing yeah yeah yeah like they're like there's already a wf we've had this for longer than you've had it so now you're gonna change i don't think i like it

yeah i don't think like they're changing it i think if you change it, you're denouncing all the people that have seen it before. And they say they've seen UFOs. So you're almost being like, those people are crazy. So we got a new name. Now, that guy's a lunatic. He saw a UFO. Those people are crazy. This thing is a UAP.

You're taking power from all the people that said I told you these were all true. That's really interesting. I would never have thought of that. Yeah, because there's no need to change unidentified flying objects. You come from the man family. I am the man. I am the institution.

You're the institution. That is true. Yeah. What'd you say about UFOs? Well, there's no... I mean, it's unidentified flying object, right? That's pretty, I don't know, ambiguous. Is that the word? It's like, you don't need to change that. It's like, we don't know what it was. And you're like, well, we should change it to a different kind of unidentified thing.

Yeah. That's what I mean. They're taking the- Yeah. I think you're right about that. Yeah. So from now on, well, we've known about it the whole time. We've known about UAPs the whole time and we're open about them. UFOs, we never agreed upon. UAPs are different. It's just

a little name thing, but I think that's what... You can belittle people and condescend to people with language like that. Yeah. Yes. it's the reason the banking industry and finance they use all these complicated terms for pretty simple concepts because you look like an idiot if you don't use the right term and they in there it's a it's a salesman it's like yeah you know it's like a way to well this person's like well yeah i never heard of that and how are you gonna put an a in there and not make it alien. Yeah. You know what I mean? Well, I think, are they getting rid of that word? Alien? Yeah. You mean just in general?

Because it's a negative connotation? Yeah, I thought they were getting rid of it. You called them something else. Maybe they'll keep it for, we're talking about outer space visitors, extraterrestrials, but. Outer space visitors. Oh, yeah.

That's what they're going to call it. They could call it a unidentified alien person. Yeah. That'd be a UAP. They could, but they're not there yet. They want to just stick with what they should be. Who fuzzies UFOs? UAP.

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I'm not an alien person. Yeah. Flip it on them. Yeah. So they had this hearings first It's the first time over 50

years. I don't know how Congress works. I don't know who calls the hearing or how they get these people in the room. But somebody, I guess, had enough clout to hold this hearing. And the Pentagon sent two people to speak

from the Navy. One of them, I think I mentioned on a previous episode, I'm actually Facebook friends with because I went to high school with his wife and they share a Facebook account. But they're basically like spokespeople and just did not say a lot. Here's what they said. They said there was like 116 unidentified. Now there's up to 400 that they confirm are unidentified.

Are you reading this or are you just memorizing? Well, I read it. Oh. You're looking down, but your eyes weren't at the paper. And I was like, I mean, that's pretty crazy. You've memorized all this stuff? I try to. Yeah.

That's pretty good. I'm trying to see what you bring to the podcast. Yeah. I mean, most of this isn't accurate when I'm saying, but if you act like you know it, then. But a couple of congressmen spoke up that were really fired up about it and tried to get to the bottom of some stuff. So this one guy from Wisconsin.

All right, you remember that New York Times article that came out a couple years ago that kind of first really got people going? There was this government agency that we didn't even know about that were investigating. And they talked about in there that there was a guy who had seen off-world vehicles or something like that. And I'm like, why did we never – we've never heard any more about that. Well, they asked about that. And I guess that was from – I thought that just happened. That was from 2002. There was a

memo that was circulated from an Admiral who was over in the defense department with some contractor. It's called the Admiral Wilson Memo. And in it, they talk about how there's the secret organization and that they've got these vehicles that crashed on earth and that they're examining them. They're trying to reverse engineer them, trying to figure out how they work. And this contractor, or astrophysicist, I think, I think he's frustrated because he's not getting the stuff that he needs. And this admiral's like, okay, I'm going to help you get what you need. And these are the people I know.

We'll talk to them. And there's an email exchange and there's a memo out there. Now, this admiral denies that it's real he says this is fake the guy the astrophysicist uh won't talk about it he he just won't chime in now he did say once that this organization that supposedly shut down is still in existence they just call it by a different name, but he wouldn't say what it's called now. So anyway, this memo is from 2002, but at the congressional hearing, they were asked about it and they just said, we don't know anything about it. These people just kept denying they know anything about it. So I thought that was interesting. Yeah, absolutely. That's it right there. That's the, if you scroll down to like page two or

three you see the actual or three right there you see that's the actual kind of email exchange him about helping him get the stuff that he needs um what is it the what of the fog of war well he's saying uh he's that's just him uh apologizing for his delay he's because that's just him apologizing for his delay. Because this is when the Iraq war was going on, I think. But anyway, he talks about in that memo right there about how. That's so weird just to see the fog of war, current business activity, and losing your new email address is all why I delay, which I regret. Like, just to use the word. There's a war.

There's people, you know. Yeah. uh i mean it's a serious thing and just to see in an email just guys like ah you know what dude i've just been like the war you know the war's been so stupid a lot of paperwork with the war it goes just like i don't even know where i'm at anymore yeah he goes all right then i lost your email address and then uh you know and then all right also had current business activity i mean who even says that like that uh and with the alien visits all right so what'd you want to know about the ufo crash all right so i mean just like that's your regular it's just your regular that's that's someone else being like, dude, I don't know, I've just been slammed.

I got a lot of shows, a lot of interviews, or something like that. I'm just sorry I haven't got back to you. That version of that for that guy is the fog of war, current business activity, and losing your new email. Anyway, about the UFO. It gets less important as it goes along yeah yeah or and i lost your email yeah it's like that he's he's he's fogging the conversation just so so it's like he doesn't

want to let you know that he just he just lost your email that's all it was like what's your current business activity because we'll be on the pool yeah uh anyway so that's the memo that if you go on through he talks about you know putting him in touch with name and location of alien reproduction vehicles in area 50 at area 51 and crazy um so you know the question is is that is that the guy you know will miller no the guy that i'm facebook friends with was one of the people who testified at the hearing, but he just wouldn't admit to anything. Scott Bray? Scott Bray, yeah.

He just, we don't know about that. And then the congressman said, well, will you look into it? And he's like, yeah, okay, we'll look into it. Yeah, I'll take a look. Yeah. But with the fog of war, I just don't know. I don't know. Who knows?

I got this guy on Facebook, Brian Bates. He's been dinging me. Poking me. He does a lot of the video calls. I told you that time I got a video call from someone. No, on Facebook? Yeah. It was, how did I not tell this?

It was so great. It's a great guy, but he was trying to call me, an older, and he's trying to call me, and he did it on Facebook, and he doesn't, like, he hit the wrong thing, so he doesn't video. And so when I answered, it's just me looking at him in the video, and he's just sitting there in his boxers. And he's like, oh, hey. And he's just, like in his boxers and he's like oh hey uh and he's just like having to grab stuff and i just remember i mean just the most like no fear of just being like yeah i'm

just sitting in my boxers i'll just call this guy real fast and then just to be on tv basically and he's like hey uh i didn't I don't know what I'm doing here. I mean, there's a ton of – it's so great. And then the other thing the congressman brought up that was – this happened in 1967. But in Montana at a missile silo, the Air Force Base, a red orb was seen floating over the sky and all their nuclear missiles became inoperable. was seen floating over the sky and all their nuclear missiles became inoperable and um so he brought that up because he's like that's a that's a threat to our country if there's something out there that can you know disarm our weapons yeah but again they were like uh we've heard about that we don't really know anything they just kept denying that they knew anything so nothing really came from this hearing.

They say there's no, they have no evidence out there that it's from other planets. They don't know what it is, these things that people are seeing. But that's where, that's the stuff they feel like with the government stuff. Like these organizations, like they don't work together. Like none of them, you know, like like you're like i feel like that's a problem you're like y'all should be on the same aren't you all doing the same thing you're trying to help and then they're all like i don't know if that like it's almost like keeping everything secret and it's like a battle between each of them and so you're like well we're not going to

get the answer y'all don't want to tell each other the answer yeah yeah like why even have this hearing it seems like there's not even anything to talk about yeah and is there not like the president or someone up top can't go like well then you're you're just shutting your thing down like who like why can't they just be like no no you gotta you got to do it or like where you're it's shut down now we're go walk in there because they're not you know it's because it's not a monarchy, man. This is a government buying for the people. You know? Yeah, but I mean, they're not.

It's kind of good. I like that all these organizations aren't working together with each other. Then it'd be one big. Yeah, okay. You just talked me into that. I get that. So I get the reason for that. But it's like when they, but if they're not answering the questions of like some, like when this kind of thing happens, you're like, well, come on, man.

We're trying to all work and be smarter together. Right. So you got to tell us or help us out or, you know, I mean, you're making your citizens or you're making them go crazy. You're probably ruining people's lives that see something and say something, and then they just get made fun of, and then they get just these – it's usually poor people that live out in the middle of nowhere. You're like, well, they're either all crazy, dude, or you made the stereotype that they are crazy. This is one of the articles that Brian sent me over.

This is the Pentagon. They said they're getting more reports, like you said, up to 400 reports now because they say that the stigma has been reduced. Well, what are people reporting? They saw something in the sky or aliens came to visit? Well, an unexplained aerial phenomenon. Mm-hmm. You know?

Yeah, I mean, but that could be anything, though. That's right. Well, there's a congressman from Tennessee, Tim Burchett, who said exactly what Nate just said after the hearing. He's like, this was a joke. It was a waste because they put people up there that just aren't going to say anything. You got to get the people who know something that actually experienced them. Put that guy on the stand who was in that memo and things like that. was in that memo and things like that and he said um that he's had multiple sources tell him that we do have like a crashed vehicle from outer space he thinks they're either it is either

aliens or it's us that are testing what we found and trying to figure out how to use it made it crash our us making it crash well now he thinks originally they just crashed themselves and then now either some of those other ones we're seeing it's either aliens or it's us who who trying to figure out how to do it use their equipment that's right yeah reverse engineering so maybe they're just done aliens are dumping their like for that we are like i got an old ship we gotta get rid of yeah what like an old ship they got okay yeah i misheard that yeah ship with the p and then uh but that like so we're like the trailer park of space where they're just people are just parked they're parking their old vehicles in our yards and that's what the earth is and just go like, well, I got to get rid of it.

Go dump it, dude. Dump it on those people down there. Or maybe they're like, let's see if they'll work on it. Yeah. This is broke down. And we got enough boys

that could take your hat off. Well, boss. And that's why they are going to like these farms and like trailer parks because they're like, they know how to work on cars. They work on any vehicle.

And he goes, what do you got here? Aliens sitting over there. Can't speak. And he goes, well, you got here. Aliens sitting over there. Can't speak. And he goes, this generator is. He goes, well, you changed the fan out? The fan? I don't know anything about cars.

Maybe like Boomhauer type people from King of the Hill. I mean, maybe that is aliens. They're like, we can't really get the language, but we'll mess around with it a little bit. You know what I mean? You met a guy before that you're like there's something about that guy is he not really from around here yeah well what do you do what what would you do like you what's that yeah yeah yeah if if if an alien

popped up like if if a ship came hey not like just to you but like in in independence day where the aliens are like approaching and everybody knows okay are you like in in independence day where the aliens are like approaching and everybody knows okay are you like one of the people on the rooftop with the signs going we welcome the aliens or are you like in fear i'm in uh yeah i mean it's it's just yeah i you know i think you just would be in there'd be a fear there'd be a fear. There'd be amazement. There'd be, this is, you know, you just don't even know. And you got to rely on yourself. Like a lot of it's like you, you know, it's probably have a lot of gut feeling.

Yeah. I feel what you feel on the inside and just be like, I'm going to go with my gut on all this. Cause then if you saw it for real, you gotta be be like, they've never said they would all deny it. They didn't tell you that this is something that, like, it feels like no one's ever going to tell you. Yeah, yeah. They're going to flat out say it to you. And so you just got to be on like a gut,

like kind of like, get everybody as close as you can, your family, whatever, and do whatever and be like, I don't know. I don't know the answer. I do take some comfort knowing I will not be a key player in whatever happens.

Alien invasion, I'm not going to be flying a fighter jet. You're not going to be a Randy Quaid. No, dude. I got nothing. What about that guy that threw out the pitch in Chattanooga? Is that guy? The opener? Yeah.

The Memorial guy? Now that guy died. He goes, but that other guy can do it. He's got a good fastball. Decent changeup. Talk to him. He has gout, so he needs to fly something. He's got a left foot.

They just put you in there, and they put your foot on the gas because you can't move your left gout foot. You can't pull it back off. It's just like a dead foot. And they're just making you drive straight into it. And you's just like a dead foot and they're just making you drive straight into it and you're just like trying to get your like wake your foot up like it's asleep and you're like i don't want to do this is it is it uh uh independence day aliens or like mars attack aliens you think you ever see

that movie mars attacks i bet they're like see-through or something. Like it's going to be some- Like Predator. Is that what Predator is? Yeah, didn't he have a see-through? Yeah, I didn't see Predator. He could go see-through? Well, yeah, he could make himself invisible.

But like a chameleon. I feel like it's going to be like, yeah, it's their- Like a ghost? Like, no, it looks like CGI. Oh. In the movie Mars Attacks, I feel safe. In the movie Mars Attacks, those aliens come down and start to kill people, and they kill the aliens with old school country music.

Oh, really? And that's what I'm already listening to in my house. Oh, yeah. I was going to say, if one of us had to go talk to them, I'd probably volunteer you because if you hadn't been abducted, you at least probably know a guy who's been abducted. Yeah, I'd like to go. Just say, what are you guys doing?

What are you up to what uh is there is this that you're seeing this this is from a movie i guess this is from signs the movie this is what this is always what maybe it was just when i saw this yeah the stage in my life this is what i think of when i think of aliens is there is there any like supposedly pictures of a real alien or like, you know, like Bigfoot or is it always just like the ships and what they're flying? I mean, every picture out there

has been, somebody's debunked it. There's none that anybody's saying is legit. Yeah. And there's a lot of. Yeah,

the gray aliens. Those are the, that's the popular. These grays? Yeah. There was a movie that came out a few years ago, Arrival, Amy Adams, where they came to Earth and then somebody had to communicate with them. And she was a linguist. Is that the correct term?

Yeah. And she had to go talk to them. protocol read where if they came, they would send a linguist, a psychologist, biologist, and someone in combat to attempt to get a nonviolent response from aliens. Yeah. So. Okay. So you need someone that can talk to them on their level. Yeah, so you immediately send five people at them.

I think you need a regular old person. One of them's jacked with a gun. The rock. Yeah, you need a good pesticide salesman to go out. You need Greg Warren to go out. Sell him a little peanut butter. You know what I mean? Get him out.

You need a salesman to go out and go welcome. How you doing? Let me say, yeah. Yeah, you know, you want to, you got to talk him down. How y'all doing? You don't send a biologist. I don't even want to talk to a biologist. You know what I mean?

Well, even a biologist, if you send them, you're like, well, he's never seen that. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. But he's going to know more than we will. You mind if we get a skin? Will he? Will he?

Yeah. He's going to come back and go, I've never seen anything like it. They act like these people, they're going to be level-headed enough to go, oh, yeah, alien time to now. And then you go talk to this alien. You're going to be kind of like, this is nuts. You need a guy. You need a conspiracy.

You need one guy that is like, I told y'all. Exactly. And that's the movie Moonfall. There's one guy. And you need a guy that's like, I believe. Not surprised by any of it. No, no. Yeah.

That's funny. That's me. Yeah guy that's like- Not surprised by any of it. No, no. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. That's me. Yeah, that's Dustin. You don't need a guy that's going to be like, can I get a skin graft? Yeah. Blood sample here? Just want to kind of see what we're doing.

Tries to put his arm around him and gives him a tack. And he's like, ah. And he goes, trying to get hair samples. Yeah. A guy that's just going to welcome you in. Come on into the trailer. Let's hang out for a bit there's a lot more

back hair I'll tell you that that's what these what are these aliens the back hair was surprising it's yeah I don't know if it's like

cause they don't have good padding especially if they show up like you know like with no clothes like a lot of these aliens you're gonna need a guy that's got his shirt off

you know just to really just some cut off jean shorts oh interesting yeah yeah because all of these aliens yeah they have all evolved to not need clothes i've never made that connection before they don't have shame the way we do they always think that they're the most advanced what if we've evolved to wear clothes yeah like we've a stat we go you know actually we should start covering up yeah yeah yeah that's just appropriate yeah like they always act like it's aliens are more advanced than us yeah yeah there's a chance that we could be i mean you know but if that's the case they're probably not making it here that's true millions of miles i don't know man i've seen a donkey get over a fence in the middle of the road.

I mean, why can't – There's going to be some one dumb animal that's going to – Aliens going to make it way. You just go, and you're like, why are you here? Yeah, maybe they just meant to go to their moon, and then they got off track. Kept going. They showed up.

They're drinking. We're so far away from anything, though, that for anything to get to us they will if they will had to have found a way to travel faster than the speed of light to get to us what if they pop through a little black hole yeah let's see what i'm saying if they know how to do stuff like that pop through a wormhole but very well could be an accident though yeah they're just out there they're like let's try to get to the moon you ever get off the wrong exit yeah exactly end up in some town

you ever thought you'd be in the other day I missed an exit and had to do one of the turns with the cops hanging out

in the middle of the interstate that's what I just had to do because it was like I added so much time so I mean sometimes that happens

you don't think there's not going to be a mistake where the alien is just like not looking at his you know he's reading his hand

because your hand's your phone now he just reads and then he goes what did did yeah i'm a million years and then he goes sits there and now he's in a farm like asking him questions and he's like the farm because i don't know man it's like the me that they talk to of that world. He's like, my parents, I live, we're not. I don't know, dude. This costs like eight grand to buy this UFO. Like, he goes, I mean, I still got payments on it. I mean, you know. It's just he's got the name saying normal problems.

It's just like, my parents are going to be so mad. Transmission got stuck on it. I just could not. I could not. Yeah, squirrels eating it up. Yeah. it's just like my parents are gonna be so mad like it's a transmission got stuck on it i just could not i could not yeah squirrels yeah yeah yeah he goes oh y'all got squirrels because they're robot squirrels but they're squirrels he goes i don't know why we have them if that's what's happening at your house the squirrels are trying to get that fuel on put on their ship you never know there was a for a while, extraterrestrial exposure law saying that you can't touch anything.

It's a law to touch anything extraterrestrial. And then everyone's like, well, that proves that y'all know that there's aliens because NASA did this. But this was when we were doing trips to the moon and they were just like, if you bring anything back from the moon,

don't touch it because we don't know it could contaminate the whole earth. Oh. so it's illegal to touch a moon rock yeah well i feel like i've held a moon huh i feel like i've touched a moon rock i think the moon rocks were petrified wood where would you have held a moon rock yeah i don't know i think it's very rare i don't know that like yeah yeah i think you it's i think you'd remember it more than just i don't think i don't think you just breeze in by and go,

you know what, dude? I think... Have I been to the moon? I'm trying to think. He goes, did I? I think... You know what?

My uncle's Neil Armstrong. That's where it was. Family reunion. He just carries it around in his pocket. Yeah. That's all he does. You don't touch this one? There was a woman who said that Neil Armstrong, when she worked at NASA,

I think she lived in Tennessee, and said he gave some moon dust to her daughter just for fun, just to take home with her, and then she found it in the attic. And I don't know. I think they were like, well, that's probably not true, so that's worth so much money. Really? Yeah, but I don't know if they went and analyzed it or what, but she was on the news talking about it.

Armstrong just scooped up a cup of dirt. Yeah, he's always just got a little moon dust in his pocket, and you're like, he's getting older. He's a little off his rocker, and you're like, that ain't moon dust. It's grass in it. It's just understood. If Neil Armstrong comes up and says, you want a little moon dust? Don't.

He goes, you don't want that moon dust. He's like, look what I found behind your ear. A little moon dust. Omega Watch is weird. I looked at Omega watch this weekend and they they're the ones they used in

Apollo 13 that they used they're the only watch that made it around when they when they had to come back from space

like that's in the Tom Hanks movie where they were having to use the burst to get back and they did all the testing and out of all the watches

the Omega one is the only one that worked so all the astronauts wear Omega. Wow. That's why they have a moon watch. And so it's the same watch that went to the moon. That's pretty cool. Yeah.

It's kind of neat. Yeah. I remember. Okay, so I went to space camp in Huntsville, fourth grade. Oh, so they had the moon watch. And they have a moon rock, but I don't think they let you touch it. No. Yeah, it looks like it's hidden behind two things.

But maybe back then they let you get your hands on it. A fourth grader, yeah. We threw it around like a football. Now, y'all have heard of, maybe heard of SETI? SETI, like the cooler? That's a Yeti. Yeti. Search for extraterrestrial intelligence?

No. No. Okay, well, probably haven't heard of METI then either. Is that meeting extra? Messaging. Oh. So SETI is listening.

It's been around for a long time where they've just got telescopes listening for any sound from outer space. Oh, there was a movie like that. Was that Contact? Contact, yeah. That's a boring movie. My goodness, Oh, there was a movie like that. Was that Contact? Contact, yeah. That's a boring movie. My goodness, I thought this was going to be great.

You're just listening to them listen to space. You could wrap this up. Oh, I loved it. You could do a thing like, and this much time went by. But anyway, SETI is the Institute's been around since the 80s, but they've been listening long since then.

There was one time. They've been listening longer? Well, there was one time in 1977 at Ohio State University. They had a radio telescope, and they were listening, and they picked up a very large, they call it the wow signal, because the guy who saw the readout wrote wow on it, because it was so powerful. And it came dusty it's all right uh just pictures i'm guys i've been in there forever he goes oh finally something wow wow that's all he wrote yeah he's been listening

for 40 years yeah and then he doesn't and then all he hears is like, someone go. And he's like, what? And it's like, you want coffee? I'm making some coffee in here. And you're like, dang. I mean, my whole life I've been waiting for this. This is how he wrote it. Yeah, that's how he wrote it.

Wow. Exclamation point. They never, i think it lasted for 72 seconds but they could never hear it again it never repeated and they tried and tried but so i don't know what it was the alien so they had six e what are this i don't know what those equations numbers mean it's somehow listening the radio signals But I guess the ones he circled was bigger. And then you're, do you hear an actual sound or is it like you read the sound? Well, in the movie Contact, they were hearing sounds, right?

Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I was dozing off. I don't know. Maybe just the readout prints out, you know, the sound or whatever. But they could never get it to repeat itself. This cost $10 billion, by the way.

Did it? Wow. There you go. What that is. Wow. What exactly cost him? Bill project Cyclops. Oh,

Cyclops is not built, but the report form of the basis. My God, that's so much money just gets thrown around here. Yeah. Who knows? Oh yeah. No one's.

I mean, yeah, they don't even read those numbers. Like one guy knows them. Yeah. It's like his system. He's? Oh, yeah. No one's. I mean, yeah. No one even read those numbers. Like one guy knows them. Yeah. It's like his system. He's like, I do like ones and for not much. And then I'll throw a three in.

And then if it gets crazy, I'll put letters. He goes, well, how do we know it's crazy? I mean, one says 16. Is that like a big number? He goes, 16 is nothing, dude. He goes, if you see a Q, q he goes so knock your socks off all right like don't they go what well can you explain your system to the rest of like the other people he goes nah it's hard to explain he's like one one one f s and that was i mean was like, oh my goodness. I go, what has happened?

Must've been a fight. And then there's Medi, which is where we're sending messages out in outer space to try to let other people hear us. You up? Yeah, exactly. And of course, a lot of people think that's a bad idea because we shouldn't let them know we exist because they could come and kill us. People think that's a bad idea because we shouldn't let them know we exist because they could come and kill us. Well, if they have the ability to receive and interpret

and understand the message, they probably already know we exist. That's the argument the other side makes. Yeah. It probably doesn't matter. But what if they can't find us? I'd rather get out in front of it and be like, hey, we come in peace. I'd like to not come in peace. You know what I mean?

Let's put it out there that we're we know we know you're out there and we're not messing around you don't think that's the strategy well they might not come here because they're like well i mean those guys are just killing each other on that yeah i know like we're because they don't care at all and that maybe that is the strategy we're gonna let you know we don't care about in-house we definitely don't care about you look at what do we do to each other, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Man. Well, one of the first signals they think probably reached outer space was Hitler, the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Germany. Well, that's a bad way to start. Let's get the ball rolling.

In fact, in contact, that's what they sent back. I don't know if you remember that. You were probably asleep by then. Yeah. But they sent back the message. Well, that's why they don't contact us anymore. They were like, last time we got in touch with them. What was the message. Well, that's why they don't contact us anymore. They were like, last time we got in touch with them. What was the message they heard?

Hitler, I think, was addressing the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in the 1930s. And they think, just because back then, signals were getting strong enough that they were leaving our atmosphere. So they think maybe the first message that somebody could hear out there would be Hitler addressing the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.

So the aliens show up, they got swastikas, they think this is what they're into. We're like, whoa, whoa. Well, then they're going to meet you and go, we're having a good time. Everybody's like, wait, what? That's going to get me in trouble. Yeah. Well, you better take me with you now. Now, a lot of religious scholars and theologians think that maybe aliens are demons.

Theologian sounds insulting. What do you mean? I don't know. It just sounds like if you're like, I'm a theologian, you're like, so am I. We all are, buddy. Yeah, everybody's a theologian. Getting lied. Yeah.

There you go. What are you asking? Well, I'm a theologian. Getting lied. Yeah. There you go. What are you asking? I'm a theologian. Oh, you want more butter? Like, I don't know why that makes me think of that. I'm a theologian. Because in the Bible, there was lots of demon possessions, and people were paralyzed and different things

happened and a lot of people here who say they've been abducted by aliens will say they were paralyzed they couldn't move and so some religious scholars think they're not really aliens they're they're demons people demon possessed uh demon possessed people well like a demon the people who saw aliens the aliens are demons i mean i think that they think that those that those aliens are like you know like fallen angels right like that's what like that oh yeah because the angel you know they say a third of the angels left heaven with satan so those are the fallen angels so they let lost their you know their beauty and now that's why they're these blank void characters okay yeah that's what they think yeah you know what i mean yeah that's like yeah if you believe in outer space you might think that good yeah

yeah there was i think that is even the theory if you don't believe in outer space oh yeah because they would be coming from heaven and not from just another planet yeah I think that is even the theory if you don't believe in outer space. Oh, yeah. Because they would be coming from heaven and not from just another planet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, right. Yeah, there was something called, a demon called an incubus. Incubus. You know this?

Great band. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, Thomas Aquinas, that's your buddy, right? Yeah, he's a guy. He wrote about it. You know him? I took an entire class called aquinas on angels in college like a book thomas aquinas you didn't go to college with him with thomas aquinas

no he lived about 900 years ago but you do laugh about that like we all know who that is yeah we brought him up on the podcast before. I don't remember last week's episode. You remember Aristotle? This is Nate Forgetzi. You heard of him? Yeah, I'm Nate Forgetzi. Nate Forgetzi. You've heard of Aristotle? Yeah.

Okay, Aquinas is. Yeah, what is it? He's a philosopher? Yeah. He was a philosopher, yeah. But if you gave me Aristotle's government name, I don't know if I'd get it. You don't know John Bailey? Aristotle? Oh, I't know John Bailey? Aristotle?

Oh, I guess. John Bailey. Yeah, I guess Aristotle. I didn't know. I don't know about his stage name. Aquinas College in Nashville? Yeah. That's him.

That's Thomas Aquinas. Well, I just didn't know. Thomas threw me off. Okay. Aquinas. He said it like, yeah, did you go to college with Thomas Aquinas? He's like, yeah, he's your buddy. Yeah, I said it. He's my buddy. Yeah, you're right. I said it like yeah do you go to college with Thomas Aquinas he's like yeah he's your buddy yeah I said it

yeah you're right I said it you're a buddy of mine you know they used to his classmates growing up used to all make fun

of him call him dumb they called him the dumb ox because he just could not articulate himself very well

in the classroom so they called him the dumb ox is this why I'm the dumb ox I know and his teacher his professor who recognized what a genius he was yeah told his classmates one day this dumb ox will let out a bellow that the entire world will hear yeah see yeah still not happen though yeah

i mean we're talking about him now yeah what wasllow? I mean, he wrote the five proofs of God's existence. Yeah. He was pretty influential. There's a college named after him in Nashville. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I just was wondering what the bellow was. I'm not.

Yeah. You know, I'm just. It was an actual yell. He just yelled one thing. No, like it was. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

It's a junior college. Wow. Yeah. Is it only a junior college? I the wow is it only a junior college I think so oh yeah they got a pretty good

basketball team it's not bad yeah any kind of college is good yeah I'd take it well he wrote about Incubus

which is basically a demon a man well maybe they were named after this but it's a demon that comes to earth and has relations

with women right Genesis 6 wow that's in the bible another great man yeah phil collins but we talked about the last alien episode the farmer who you know says my boy's up there so maybe that was just that incubus yeah Could have been. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And I mean, there's a lot of references in the Bible that some people think are actually aliens or vice versa.

Some think that angels were actually aliens that came to earth and told people how to live from another planet. Yeah. That Abraham was visited by three angels. I mean, three aliens instead of angels. Things of that matter. The Nephilim was in the Bible, a group of giants that, I don't know what they were. Well, the Nephilim, they say, are like when angels and humans mate,

and then the babies are the Nephilim, and then they become giants. Oh. That's Genesis 6. That's what that's all about. Okay. Man, they covered a lot of ground in the first one through six. They get right they're already at nephilim genesis is a lot of fun whether you're religious or not it's a fun yeah yeah i mean there's giants and there's a lot of crazy stuff going on in there yeah but they're around even after the flood and all that because last week or a couple weeks ago

we talked about spies and i talked about the spies in the bible who went into the promised land it's well there were nephilim that lived there yeah and they came back and said these guys are giants they said we're like grasshoppers to them right so oh well whatever they were they existed and grasshoppers are pretty big yeah but you if you came up on a grasshopper you in that grasshopper had thought. He would think, well, that's a really big dude. Oh, that's for sure. Yeah. Okay, I get that. Yeah, do you?

I'm saying like ants are one thing. A grasshopper, every time you see a grasshopper, you're like, dang, that's a big, let me get that out of here. You're not going to talk your way out of this. Because it was, even if a grasshopper, I mean, if it was the size of this cup, you would still, if I walked up to it, you wouldn't be like, I'll take that guy. It's like, I'm not an ant here.

You would go, there's giants. If you were the size of this cup and I walked up, you'd go, there's giants over there. Yeah, I was thinking about it from your perspective in that scenario. Yeah. Like if you come up on a grasshopper, you're still, you know. You're like, it's a decent size. You're like, yeah, that's a pretty big for a bug.

Yeah. That's pretty big. So you're coming from the giant's perspective. Right. Of course. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Yeah. And you know, we don't get to hear a lot from the giant's perspective. That's right. You know, where is that? That's what I'm here to do. You know what I mean?

Yeah. They had feelings too. They had feelings too. Yeah. And hopes and dreams they're running errands we're running errands they got they got they're like we're just trying to hang out here on this land and these little people showed up one day and then the next thing i know they were back to kill us yeah well i still don't know how they did it that's what stephen hawking said he said that aliens could come here and we'd be like ants and i mean, we think we're all moral people, but if there's an ant in the way of us building something,

we're not going to think twice about knocking them out of the way. So aliens could be doing that with us. They'd just stomp on us and then just be like, it doesn't matter. Well, just like you'd be like, why would they wipe us out? But they may be so advanced ahead of us that it'd be like what we would do to an animal or something. An ant farm. Yeah, an an ant farm like an ant farm just down there living its best life yeah yeah and then we come knock it but we're just messing around with our planet like ants could mess up uh your garden they can bite you they can you know i guess i guess we could bite

the aliens yeah i mean we just mess up anthills just so our grass can be short. Right, yeah. You know, they don't even need to really build anything. Yeah, yeah. Have you ever seen these circles of death that ants can get trapped in? No. Where they're just swirling in a circle like that, where they're just following the person in front of it, right?

They're just following. Cow to the slaughter. Yeah, and they can't, they don't know that they're just walking in a circle, and what happens, they just do that until they dive oh wow until they're done because they just get trapped in a loop really seems like one of those ants should come along and go hey guys guys yeah well the guys in the middle are like they're like what you guys doing a mosh pit yeah essentially but they're just following the the pheromones, whatever, the thing that they follow.

You ever see an ant trail like that and then just run your finger right across it? Oh, it messes up their whole day. They're like, whoa, what happened? You just run your finger across, and they're like, what's going on? Yeah, you could save these ants by doing that, probably. But I'm going to let them die. I don't like them. I like ants.

Yeah, I would save them. If I saw that, I would. You just put your, just do draw the line, and then they spread out, and then they get back together. Regroup. It's kind of like that word specify. You got to just back out. You got to back out and think about it and be like, all right, all right, all right.

Yeah, that's. There's the head of astronomy at Harvard, so kind of an important dude, thinks that there may be a UFO going through our solar system right now because there's an object that entered our solar system from interstellar space, and everyone says, oh, it's just a rock, an asteroid, or whatever, but it's got some characteristics that seem weird.

It's shiny, for one. It's got rear view mirrors playing music yeah rems because i just had never seen that on a rock because i mean yeah i'm not trying to say it's not you know it's got uh it speeds up and slows down which they're like that's kind of weird for just a rock going through space um it's got some weird name. It's named after the Hawaiian telescope that found it, so I can't pronounce it. But anyway. Coming from Mars,

want to know why we sent a thing over there. You got this thing roaming around over here. Yeah. It's turned signal on for, I mean, 200 years. Still not turning. So there's a thing called Project Lyra or Lyra, L-Y-R-A,

where they want to send a rocket to catch up with this thing to see what it really is. Yeah. Because his argument, how we talked about a couple weeks ago

that we sent Voyager 1 with the gold record and all that outer space. He thinks that could be something from another civilization that they sent that just entered our solar system. Oh.

And he wants to go get close to it to see what it is. Brought your record back. They sent it back. We're not a Johnny B. Good fan. So they want to send a spacecraft to catch up with this thing. They think it would take like 26 years to do it but is it going to come here it's going you mean to earth yeah it no it's just going through our solar system but that's even our solar system is so big that you know that's a long time it's so

hard to think that long term about stuff if like if i were working for the government now like let's go we're gonna launch in 26 years like yeah get after it yeah you know but you gotta think about how old you are now what are you 30 yeah so 56 you would be there i mean if you dedicated every day was your life to do this and then you could be you know but if i'm out of office in four years it's like yeah but you're not the you're like the scientist going like you're not gonna be yeah you're not gonna be voted okay but it's like yeah but you're not the you're like the scientist going like you're not gonna be yeah you're not gonna be voted okay but it's like so if you're like doing the work for it and then it would be like you know that you probably do other stuff too but you like what's

your big goal and you're like we're going after this one thing 26 years so so long though it's long but it i mean you know i used to feel that way son yeah yeah I mean look he was he's I was your age just yeah yeah that was 20 years ago yep yep 20 how crazy is that he's almost he's almost able to see the satellite when he was your age he's almost there yeah yeah and you are in the exact same spot there's this uh yeah exactly there's uh this you'll appreciate this nate a uh a phd student who just published a paper that got people upset about how many hostile alien civilizations there are in our milky way you know usually this stuff is in the millions billions or whatever he came up with four four what four hostile alien civilizations in our Milky Way.

And he said, I admit there's some limitations because I'm not an astrophysicist. I'm a conflict resolution student. Yeah. So he didn't even major in it. But he did his own equation and came up with this assumption that he based it. He looked on how many external invasions there have been on earth in the last 50 years how many countries have invaded other countries and then he took that data and he applied it to the the number of exoplanets in the milky way they think and he came up with four there's four bad guys out there

and all these other scientists are like there's probably a million trillion whatever but he came up four so they're like it hasn't been peer-reviewed yet but uh so i've never heard about peer review until these last little bit yeah never in my life i even heard is it peer-reviewed and then now it's like they i mean it it is being it's every day now it's every day someone says it and i'm always like did everybody know about this before did you know about peer-reviewing i knew about it a little bit just from like college papers oh yeah you know yeah i know do you know a little bit uh from a friend of mine who was a scientist. Oh, I mean, you just hear it. I heard it. Yeah.

But, yeah, I mean. Everything's now. Yeah, I mean, I don't really care about people's peers reviewing things anyway. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, your buddy reviewed it. Yeah. Yeah, it's cool.

Yeah, who's your peer? Yeah. Yeah, it's all good here. Yeah. Yeah, that is who's, because now it's peer reviewed. You're like, well, who are they? Yeah, just people my age, you know, around about. Cheers.

You want to go, I know who, they got to know who to send it to and who not to send it to. It's like a friend sending you something. You go, yeah, that's good. That's good, yeah. No, I didn't get a chance to look at it all the way, but you know, I thought. He goes, I glanced. Yeah. You're a good guy.

I think you're a good scientist. I flipped through. Yeah. Sounds good. Four. All right, four. Four. Four. Yeah. Sounds good. He goes, I think that. Yeah. You're a good guy. I think you're a good scientist. I flipped through. Yeah. Sounds good. Four. All right, four. Four. Four.

Yeah. Sounds good. He goes, I think that's better. The other ones are saying millions. I would rather read the one, the guy that has four. That's the one I want to read. At least he's picking a number. Right.

Narrowing it down. Yeah. Everybody's. I mean, the other ones, it seems like everybody's bad. The other one's like, we know, it's basically, you should is basically should go i know nothing right is what the other one should say italian uh scientist claudio macone says there are as many as 15 785 civilizations in our galaxy alone so only four of those are bad nefarious that's good yeah there were only four of them we gotta watch out for yeah just 15 000 i mean but like yeah 15 000 he's like yeah i mean it's just so funny yeah people they just

come up with these things yeah and it's because it's peer-reviewed it's uh yeah my my buddies we all agree there's about 15 000 societies out there yeah is there who'd you ask i asked my peers then i go oh yeah where do they sit at? They sit at the desk next to me and we're all just talking to no one and have no life and just looking at dots

in a telescope and we go, that looks like, what is that, a 7-Eleven on that? He goes, am I crazy? Yeah,

we read the wow report. He goes, are you kidding me right now? Is that a red light? It just turned green. He goes, I think it's right now? Is that a red light? It just turned green. He goes, I think it's a dead gum civilization out there. Do you mind peering this one for me? I'm trying to get this reviewed.

People will believe it if you review it. He goes, well, I'm not really a peer. He goes, I think I'm more of a foe. And he goes, well, I mean, we're in the same room. That doesn't matter. I do agree. The guy says, how many 18,000? I mean, we're in the same room. That doesn't matter. Yeah. Is that, I mean, I do agree. The guy says, how many 18,000? I mean, he had an exact number, right?

15,000 what civilizations? 15,785 civilizations in the Milky Way. Then it seems more legit. Yeah, it is. How do you get to that number? Why does everybody act like there's no aliens? And this guy's being like, there's 15,000 neighborhoods just up in the Milky Way. Yeah, not only is there aliens, but there's 15,000 societies of them.

Yes. Yeah. Just in our one galaxy, there's millions or billions of galaxies. And an ever-expanding. Yeah, and they don't know. How do they know that? Stars, planets. You said within our galaxy, there are billions of galaxies.

Oh, my bad. Yeah. I meant there's billions of galaxies in our bad yeah uh i admit there's billions of galaxies in our universe right yeah okay and then our but we think there's other universes sure there's the observable universe which is all that we know but we know that there's a limit to that so then after that who knows how big yeah there's but there we know there's a limit to our universe of what we can observe the observable universe so we know there's a limit to our universe. Of what we can observe. Yeah. The observable universe.

Yeah. So we know if you keep walking, you're going to eventually hit a fence. And there's got to be another universe. But there's also- But maybe there'd only be one universe. And then with galaxies, so we're the Milky Way. We're named after that candy bar. Mm-hmm.

And then- That's what they'll have at that wedding. yeah milky way yeah yeah why would we be named after a candy you know doesn't make a lot of sense it's better than baby ruth yeah but i i wish you'd be it should get its own thing yeah you know all right kit kat yeah when did the milky way get it got named after the... What did we call it? The Milky Way. Why did they call it the Milky Way? Because it looks like Milky? Butterfinger Galaxy.

That'd be a lot of fun. Ooh. Because you know what's on the outside, but you don't really know what's on the inside. The Milky Way candy bar was created in 1923. Yeah. The name and taste derived from a then popular malted milk drink of the day,

not after the astronomical galaxy. So when did we start calling it the Milky Way? Yeah. So we did name the galaxy after the candy bar. Well, yeah, we might have. The term was actually used 2,500 years ago. A little bit earlier. We call the galaxy the Milky Way a little longer than the candy bar.

But I think saying that you named the candy bar after a milkshake seems a little inaccurate they shouldn't let them do it just because you're like man you're kind of just ruining what we're doing with space yeah it really like takes the kind of steam out of it when you you know it's like it's also a candy bar yeah that's how little serious we take it, is we're naming it as. And it's not even one of our real great ones. Oh, golly, dude. You think a Milky Way is that good? Oh, my God, dude.

You hit a button there. Start this podcast over, man. You think a Milky Way is. Milky Way is, man, the number one, in my opinion. Oh, no way. I enjoy a Milky Way, but number one? Number one. Oh, my goodness.

Look, I'll be honest with you. I don't know if I've even had one saying all this. Oh, dude. That's how... Over Snickers, dude? It's like a weak Snickers. Yeah. Snickers with no peanuts.

Yeah. It's like a weak Snickers. Dude, a Snickers... Yeah, I'm not trying to eat a meal at a candy bar, dude. I want a Milky Way. It's just nice and smooth. You got a caramel chocolate. It's the right texture.

It's the right size. Ah. It's everything you need. It's everything you want. What was first, Snickers or Milky Way? Like, I don't think I've ever had a Milky Way, you know. But people get rid of them. Yeah, like the little fun size.

Yeah, it's your favorite one. It's my favorite one, and I don't even think it's close. More than a Reese's? Snickers came after the Milky Way. The Milky Way paved the way, dude. The Milky Way walked so Snickers could run. It's the most unoriginal thing that you named it after the, oh, do you want to eat my moon Skittles?

Why don't you come up with your own name that's not, you know, you can't, Snickers is a great, like that's a name that's made up. I'm just shocked at the reaction that Aaron has had. Hey, would you like a Jupiter? It tastes like banana. I've never seen Aaron so fired up my whole life. I've never seen someone even think about Milky Ways like that. I love a Milky Way.

I mean, I need to try one. I'm not a fan of the dark chocolate one. They try to mix it up. I'm just the original Milky Way. They have a salted one, salted caramel Milky Way. I'm going to look at the – I'll see what the calories are. I bet I can eat one. Yeah.

I won't eat today, but I bet it'll probably be 130, 200 calories more. They're a little richer than that, dude. What are the calories? I'm just kidding. I can eat two packs of the little Sour Patch Kids. And a regular-sized milk whey, 264 calories. Yeah, Sour Patch Kids, if I ate two little bags of it, because I still figure ways I'll never give up on all the things that made me who I am.

Yeah. And I'm addicted to. Those are 110 calories if you eat two bags. Oh, okay. And they're little bags, and it's great. Yeah. Adam and I, I was eating like- Just handfuls.

I mean, handfuls. Yeah. And I would eat them. I couldn't even talk. Yeah. That's how many would be in there. It's like Jerry trying to, he's got all that gum. Yeah.

And it was great. What about Mars bars? I've never had a Mars bar. That's like your. My generation. Yeah. You need your Bitto honeys and all that kind of stuff. Three Musketeers.

Three Musketeers is 80 air dude it's just fluff man there's no substance to it it is you bite into a three musketeers and you're like did i miss the candy bar it's just no it's it's wonderful well look the inside is gray so i don't know if i want it all in there because it's i've never seen anything but is it gray the inside of a milky way yeah it's got a little gray in it. No, Milky Way, it's gold, man. It's got caramel. A little gray. Caramel and chocolate.

No, I mean Three Musketeers. Three Musketeers is just gray. Milky Way's got a little nougat in there. Which is funny that when you're through with tears, you're like, I'm eating something gray in the inside, so maybe don't go heavy on it. That doesn't look appetizing here. It looks like insulation to a home. Oh, they're great.

Let's see the inside. Look, I'm not. It's not. It's good. It's all good, but don't say it's better than a Milky Way. Let's see the inside of a Milky Way. I need to try a Milky Way. I don't think it is.

I think Milky Way people throw them out of the way. No one's thrilled. I don't think. When you see kids doing it, that's a Milky Way? Yeah, that layer of caramel on top right there. I don't know. All right, now let's do a Snickers. Hit us up with a Snickers.

A Snickers. It looks like you just grabbed a handful of trail mix and threw it in there. There's just a raisin inside. I mean, look at that. That looks delicious. That's the best looking one. Look, a Snickers. I mean, I do love a Snickers.

Yeah. Snickers got everything in there, man. All these candy bars. Three Musketeers, Milky Way, and Payday. Well, Twix. All in there. Twix is like the same thing. Every one of these are, I mean, Three Musketeers is the only one that's doing something different.

That's true. They are trying to do something. Well, we got like an Almond Joy. Butterfinger really switches it up. Butterfinger's like, what's some stuff that no one will ever be able to identify? Yeah. I don't like Butterfinger. Never been a Butterfinger fan.

I love a Butterfinger. I like it frozen. I love a Butterfinger milkshake. You like that? That's what I'm talking about. I do like that. I may get that on the way home. Yeah.

I don't love a, I'm not a big Butterfinger fan. I'll try the Milky Way. I need to try it. We'll do it on the podcast. Okay. We can do – have we done candy bars? Oh, we do a candy bar. Yeah.

Try a bite like George Costanza, who they were all. What were they? Twix? Twix. They were all Twix Twix they were all Twix I used to every morning when I would eat for breakfast when I was

was working at FedEx when I moved to New York and started comedy I would get a Diet Coke and a Three Musketeers and that was my breakfast every morning

sounds awesome it was a good it was a good time to be alive loved it I drink Diet Cokes in the morning all the time oh I drink I still drink them in the morning all the time. Oh, I drink them. I still drink them in the morning.

But it was that and that little candy bar, and I loved it. And if you see those pictures from back then, you can see why. Well, what's your favorite alien movie? I don't know. Maybe you guys already talked about this on part one. I don't know. I don't know if we did. You got a favorite alien movie? I have't know. Maybe you guys already talked about this on part one. I don't know. I don't know if we did. You got a favorite alien movie?

I have to think about it. Independence Day comes to mind. Yeah, I need to re-watch it. What's the other one where the... I just watched it where the ship just is over a town in Africa or something. Oh, like The Day the Earth

Stood Still with Keanu Reeves? I think it was a read. No, not that one. Oh, I think you're thinking about the one where there's robots and stuff. District 9 or something? Yeah.

Oh, District 9 is fun. District 9 was good. Yeah. Or is it Tomorrow? The Tom Cruise one? That's fun. Day After Tomorrow.

Day After Tomorrow. Edge of. Edge of. No. Not Edge of Tomorrow, but I just watched it. It's they, all these aliens come in.

Is that where his life keeps starting over? No, no, no, no, no. No, that's a great one, too. Is that Aliens? Edge of Tomorrow? Yeah. No, Edge of Tomorrow is Tomorrow War, maybe? War of the Worlds?

War of the Worlds. War of the Worlds. Yeah. That's based off, of course. War, maybe? War of the Worlds? War of the Worlds. War of the Worlds. Yeah. Yeah. That's based off, of course. Hey, you know how always trash, they're making the same movies over and again, blah, blah, and that stuff, right?

And I will tell you that I, for some reason, am okay with Tom. Tom Cruise is my free pass. To make whatever kind of movie he wants? He can do whatever he wants and uh look you guys know i i will backtrack on everything but top gun is so good you saw the new one yeah it's so it's i i want to go see it again it's it's it's just awesome dude it's awesome uh and tom cruise i what my how i would describe it is he's like adam sandler like they just make the things that they make tom cruise is a movie star i know he's

still doing it but like i feel like this dude's doing his own stunts this dude's and tom cruise did his own stunts he does it in all mission impossibles he like makes like it's you know he does mission it's like they it's just your It's like he's making his own thing versus like Gwyneth Paltrow's in an Uber Eats commercial, and that's where you're like, all right. What do you need to be in an Uber Eats commercial? It's like so, he's not going, he's staying in movies. He crushes it. He's the greatest movie star maybe of all time.

Yeah, I love it. I mean, it really is. No matter what movie, it's like he crushes it. Yeah. I was curious. I've seen it too. I haven't seen it. But I was curious, someone your age, if you hadn't seen The Rich, maybe you have, but if you hadn't seen it, what do you think?

It's awesome, dude. Yeah, you're going to love it. It doesn't matter. It's just so, it's a perfect time. You don't think you need to have seen the first one? No, no. I mean, there's some references and stuff, but I mean, you would figure it out. But it's just the timing of this movie coming out.

It's just pleasant. It's just fun to watch, it's a fun one. I got a great time to go to the bathroom. Did you do it? No, I had to go before that scene. He called me and told me a good time to go to the bathroom. Did you do it? No, I had to go before that scene. He called me and told me a good time to go to the bathroom. I've been telling him

I got a great time to go to the bathroom in the new Top Gun movie. I don't think I'm giving anything away. There's not really, you know. Am I giving anything? It's the... No, but now that you told me,

it's the scene right after they play football on the beach. Okay. So if you see the football on the beach okay so that's that if you see the football on the beach scene you know you can get up and go yeah next scene yeah there you go and you won't miss any action no yeah you're missing like a funny thing and i want to know what happens during that scene though i still don't know but he saw it i went during the scene where i'd have ruth tell me what happened what i missed and i guess they go out on a boat. Yeah.

I feel like you... He and his girlfriend. You accidentally leave during the most important parts of movies all the time. Henry Cho told me a very funny website you can go to that'll show you the best time to go to the movies. And somebody, the last Spider-Man is where all the old Spider-Mans come back. And someone, just to

mess with people, told you to go during that scene where they all show up. Oh, really? And it's just very funny to think about. You get up and go during the big reveal where all the other old Spider-Mans show up. Seems like you'd lose your trust in that website. Well, this was just somebody maybe posted on social media on their own. I don't know.

Yeah, I mean, I didn't even know that that happened, so you ruined that for me. What does it say when you go Top Gun? What is it? Can you click it? Is Top Gun on here? Yeah, right there. I don't see it.

Well, because you didn't go down farther. There you go. It's not on these four up front, so it's probably not there. Right there. Catch your mind. Read time, eight minutes. I mean, maybe I'll go to the bathroom while you read it.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is an app called Run P, where they tell you when the best time to run and pee is. That's pretty fun. Yeah, that's fun. Or you can just hold it to hold film. What? What's that?

Yeah, you don't ever have to get up and pee? I do, yeah. Nothing? You said you never peed on a plane. I never have. I pee on every plane I'm on. Yeah. Even if you didn't have to go.

Well, yeah. Do you go to the bathroom? All the time. I'm taking two flights just to get somewhere. There was one with Nick. Nick and Travis. They were flying back from la to back here and uh nick's like nick gets there and he meets travis like i think in like you know the lounge or

something and uh he's like i go to the bathroom you'll be here for a second so he's gotta like really go to the bathroom yeah and then he gets on uh he goes on he, so he does that there. And then Nick has to go again on the plane. So he goes again on the plane. And then he gets up and he's got to go again. And they end up blocking the way where they're like, no, you can't. They stopped him. They go, that's enough on the plane.

And then Nick's got to turn and walk by Travis. And he's like, hey, he's had a lot of water. And so he got up here. And he has to walk all the way to the back. But within like, I mean, he's barely in the air. He's already gone three times. Like, you know, pretty fun. I book an aisle seat on a plane just so I can pee.

Just so I don't have to get people up. Yeah, I do that too. I'd rather't have to get people up yeah I do that too I'd rather not have to get people up I will I mean I don't have to pee a ton on it but it's you know I do you know I mean if you're having any drink or anything you're gonna something happens to my body when I'm like it's it's inconvenient to pee yeah that's when I gotta go yeah yeah yeah I'm like if they're like all right this your last. Yeah. I'm like, if they're like, all right, this is your last chance to pee, I'm like, well, I better go. Because the moment they shut it down, I'll be like, oh, I'm about to pee myself. Yeah.

I got to go right now. Yeah. I do too. Is that it? Yeah, that's probably it. I was going to mention Skinwalker Ranch. I don't know if you guys have heard of that. Oh, I have heard of that.

Freaked me out. I had to cut it off. What do you mean? Oh, I was watching people talk about it, and it scared me so much, I had to turn it off. do you mean oh i was watching a doc i was watching people talk about it and it scared me so much i had to turn it off oh really it's a place in utah that this family owned and all kinds of weird stuff started happening cattle mutilation crop circles they said they bought this ranch and they noticed like these big chains or whatever on it like like i guess they bought it without going there and they

had like big shutters and they just didn't think anything about it they got a good deal and they said one night they saw this giant wolf coming across the range and then these like thin looking um alien people can't i don't know i was like this is freaking me out i'm trying what's the documentary on i was just i think i saw it on youtube just about yeah walker ranch yeah i don't know i was like this is freaking me out i'm trying what's the documentary on i was just i think i saw it on youtube just about skinwalker ranch yeah i don't know uh is it called hunt for the skinwalker i don't know i i just if it got me but then uh a millionaire bought it just to try to figure out what was going on there he's a alien enthusiast robert bigelow and he bought the property and they've been doing tests and stuff but one of his scientists said he saw a humanoid in a tree

watching them from a distance and there was snow on the ground and they couldn't get to it but there was a track with two claws giant claws

in the snow so they've seen all kinds of crazy things cattle's mutilated but with no no blood let out just

just killed I think there's that's a have you ever heard of aliens mutilating cattle uh-uh i don't think i even know what mutilating means well i guess just mutilating means huh you said you didn't know yeah oh what'd you think i just when have i ever said i don't think aaron knows that's what i thought you said. You're like, I don't even think they know what that means. Yeah. But explain it to them, please. When have we ever? Oh, it's like, I know mutilating somebody.

You're cutting it up and it's gross. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So they don't know. I mean, I've heard of aliens do that and why they do it. I think it came from Skinwalker Ranch. Yeah. Do they show that in the? Well, I don't think they have any visuals

really they're just telling the story yeah and just hearing it though like like they had the shutters closed and like things were coming at night i mean it was like i don't know i've been traumatized by unsolved mysteries as a kid yeah and so that stuff just i don't like to sleep with the blinds open i don't like a door to be open to my bedroom. I don't, you know. Yeah. I'm a, you know, I said it already, but about being afraid of the dark. It's like people say, oh, you're afraid of the dark.

I'm like, yeah, the dark's scary. You know what I mean? Yeah. Don't put me in the dark. Yeah. Can't see what's coming. Yeah. I want to, yeah, I want to know what's going on.

You want to watch yourself get mutilated. Exactly. I want to know what's happening. Yeah. Yeah. So that's pretty cool yeah it's like a psycho that just has no yeah because i think that's awesome you know uh well i'll be at uh bananas this saturday sunday stickies. Well, anyway, the Navajo Indian, I'm reading now off the screen, they call them skinwalkers because they're known to have, Navajo talked about shape-shifting characters who lived throughout that.

I think this has been going on for hundreds of years. Evil witches who can transform themselves. Native American stuff where they talk about a race of redheaded giants that used to live in the country. They talk about finding the bones. I was redheaded the scariest part of that. I don't know. That's scarier than Burnett's.
