Starting point is 00:00:00 hey bear welcome i've been thinking about that for a few weeks hello folks let's go folks welcome to the nate land podcast uh excited to be back everybody's back sitting here with uh Bates he's alive I am all right uh uh Aaron and uh Aaron Weber Dusty Slay uh all here living it up uh living the dream I don't know uh stuff I had a big weekend of a lot of birthdays. Harper's 10 years old and then my brother turned 40. Worf? Worf.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Worf was 40. Wow. So it was a big one. So here we are. I actually slept. Yeah, I had a great weekend too. I got my Kentucky farmer hat because I went to Lexington, Kentucky, and it was the best. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Nateland people came out. They brought me gifts. Yeah. I got candy from a lady. I got coffee that they said was rat poop free from some people. That's nice. Yeah. I got, what did I get?
Starting point is 00:01:20 An Opelika Bulldogs mug that someone brought me from my high school. Wow. They said they found it on eBay. It was great. Oh, wow. Look at that. Yeah, Nateland people really showing up, and I appreciate it. They're the best.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Yeah. Lexington, Kentucky. It was awesome. All right. That's enough of Dusty. And we had the comedy off-Broadway. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:46 It's a fun club. It was great. All right, let's start. I guess we're just starting with, we're doing candy comments. We're doing an episode on candy, candy part two today. Because apparently we didn't get into it enough. I got into hay bear. The bear talk I enjoyed.
Starting point is 00:02:03 So here's your first candy. Brandon Underwood. I imagine the real reason that Brian was not in attendance for this episode is because the only candies that he has experienced with are Werther's Original and those weird peppermint candies that old people always seem to carry. Is that true? I mean, I do like a good hard candy, I admit. Do you? Do you think you like it as you got older?
Starting point is 00:02:24 I like to carry them in my pocket and give them to kids. Do you have one in your pocket right now? I don't. I don't, but. Do you think you like hard candy more as you've gotten older? Do you think it's changed? Yeah, yeah, I think so. Just a good old Werther's original.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Naturally just go. Why do you think that is? Do you think it's about the teeth? Do you think as you lose teeth quality, you like hard candies? You just like something hard and – To suck on. Yeah. Oh, maybe if you have dentures, a chewy candy rips your dentures off the top of your mouth.
Starting point is 00:02:55 So you just want something that, yeah, lasts a long time. Yeah, I think everything, as you get older, you just end up seeing stuff that you're like, yeah, that makes sense now it's pretty crazy what was uh i thought i was trying to joke on something uh by getting it's just little i i don't know i'm blanking on maybe if you're old and you're bored too it's like opening the candy takes a while yeah and then it's all about you get a lot going on yeah you get to dig around in your pocket. You get the changes in there. That's part of your day. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Part of your day. One of the funner parts of my day, actually. It's because it makes a lot of noise and people will look at you and you can go, hey, just so you know, I am still around. My grandparents always had these candies, these strawberry. Those are the best. Those are very good. Where the packaging looks like a strawberry.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Those were the best. Oh, those are very good. Where the packaging looks like a strawberry. That's nice. Those were, if you went, those were cool grandparents. Because if they had those, it was like, you know, the other candy they'd have, it's the Werther's, it's stuff. You're like, this is not good. And then, but they had the strawberry. I feel like that reminds me of church. Yeah, I feel like there was a lot of that candy at church. And they were just unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Like in one of those glass things where you lift the lid off, and there's just candy. And you're not surprised by this. Yeah. Because you're like, it looks like a strawberry. I know what I'm getting. Yeah, it's very good candy. They did a great job.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Never knew the name of it. I don't even know the name. What is the name? Sweet Delight? Arcor Kosher filled strawberry hard candies. Yeah. Kind of a long name. Couldn't have even ever said the name of that.
Starting point is 00:04:29 I would have just been like the one. The strawberry candies. That's all you need. Most popular. Yeah. You only know them by their looks. Travis White. I love how Aaron was dissing a Snickers because it's like a whole meal with the addition of the peanuts.
Starting point is 00:04:43 However, he loves a Take Five, which is like a Snickers plus a pretzel. Take five is the real trail mix bar here. That's fair. Okay. You would think the amount that you hike. Just took that quite well. Well, I feel like there's some misconception, or maybe there's not, that I don't like a Snickers bar.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I do like a Snickers bar. Yeah. I don't think anybody questions it. I like a Snickers bar. I do like a Snickers bar. Yeah. I don't think anybody questions that. No one thinks Aaron has a line drawn with his candy. Is there any candy you don't like?
Starting point is 00:05:14 I mean, doesn't that just... Did you just lick the apple? He actually probably doesn't like the strawberry candy. It's too close to fruit. Too close. Nothing jumps out at me, but if I think of one, I'll jump in. He probably opened this to tell us that he didn't like it, and then we all started saying how much we liked it.
Starting point is 00:05:35 No, I love these candies. The only reason we went to my grandparents' house. Oh, okay. Stopped up on these. How you doing? I hope they're not listening. Just walked by them. Whose house is this?
Starting point is 00:05:47 Obviously not listeners of the podcast, I guess. Brittany. They're dead. Okay. Sorry. That's okay. Your grandparents? Yeah, those two.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Golly. Spoiler alert. Brittley Franzey uh Brittley Franzy Brittley uh I bet you think Brittany a lot
Starting point is 00:06:09 yeah I bet she gets that she goes Brittley they go Brittany she goes no Brittley
Starting point is 00:06:14 Brittley Brittley uh listen to Aaron talk about eating popcorn off his chest reminded me of a hack someone told me
Starting point is 00:06:20 just put a hoodie on backwards and use the hood as the bowl that's not bad I don't think I want to get my clothes this dirty Someone told me just put a hoodie on backwards and use the hood as the bolt. That's not bad. I don't think I want to get my clothes this dirty. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:30 You're right. You're going to get some grease stains. You don't have to use your hands, though, if you do it like that. I guess you could just go. Yeah, that's almost too much. That's like a trough. But didn't you say you just poured it on your chest? Yeah, but that's like, then you'd still eat it with your hands. I know, but.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Your chest becomes a plate. Yeah, the hoodie grease isn't going to bother you then. No, no, no. You just got to designate one hoodie for this is my popcorn hoodie. If the grease is in the hood, a lot of people think you have oily hair. Oh, that's true. Do you go, like you answer the door and you got a hoodie on backwards and you're like, hello?
Starting point is 00:07:02 And you're just, like your whole night got ruined what you're like why is your hoodie on back i got a lot going on it just it's my me time dude he goes it's late you know it's 6 p.m why are you ringing my doorbell i had a plan in the, wing sauce on your hands. Hoodie on backwards, pants on backwards. He got two Diet Cokes in his back pocket pants. Hello. Everything is ruined. Cam, I love the discussion of what you eat when alone.
Starting point is 00:07:41 When I lived in New York City, I'd stop at Tim Hortons after work, works get two donuts and eat them on the subway on the way home so my wife never knew then one saturday we happened to be walking by that tim norton tim hortons and i said hey look at that you don't see those very often so we went in and i ordered one donut the guy recognized me yelled out just one today the jig was up he shouldn't have took her to the scene of the crime. Yeah. Yeah, that was bold. He was asking for it. Yeah. Even the idea of, oh, look at that. You don't see that too often.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Cam wanted to get caught. Deep down, he felt like he needed to get caught. Yeah. He needed to get railed in. Ben Verzer. Zoe Saldana was in Marvel movies, too. She's part of the guardians of the galaxy so tom cruise is the highest growing actor not affiliated with marvel too bad billy the kid wasn't there he may
Starting point is 00:08:33 have caught it would you have caught that yeah when i was watching the episode i i was yelling at the screen yeah she's uh so yeah she was in all the Avengers Endgame and Avengers Infinity War So that's pretty crazy The two highest grossing movies of all time She was in both of them She's a blue person and a green person What was the other one? Avatar I think
Starting point is 00:08:57 Still number one Endgame's number two The new Top Gun has to be coming close to passing all these though I don't know I can't remember the last time a movie's been talked about this much yeah in such a positive way i feel like it's uh dying down though well i'm trying to get a rolling again yeah and now they're making out but it doesn't get like it's i'm not i loved it and we talked about it but it's like i don't i don't hear much uh much about it as much.
Starting point is 00:09:26 You know, I looked up, I was trying to watch a movie last night. And I was looking up Tom Cruise's top movies. It was ranked very low. No, wait. Maybe that was ranked. The first Top Gun was ranked extremely low of his top movies. On some, you know, like, I don't know, IMDB. Like, someone's ranking.
Starting point is 00:09:43 As far as like box office gross? No, no. Just like, I just typed in. I was really trying to think. I don't know, IMDB. Like, someone's ranking. As far as, like, box office gross? No, no, just, like, I just typed in. I was, like, trying to think. I don't want to watch. I didn't know what movie I wanted to watch. I was, like, I almost watched The Firm. Firm's great. Firm is good.
Starting point is 00:09:53 It felt like a whole thing. It's a John Grisham book. Yeah, it felt like a whole thing. You would hate it. I went with Urban Legend. And I'm in the mix of that right now. I had to stop it because I went to sleep. What's Urban Legend. And I'm in the mix of that right now. I had to stop it because I went to sleep. What's Urban Legend?
Starting point is 00:10:09 These people all die by Urban Legend. You are a little different from the John Grisham book. Tom Cruise is not in this, by the way. Yeah, that's just legend. No, this is... Oh, Urban Legend is not a Tom Cruise movie. Urban Legend is not a Tom Cruise movie. I bailed on all of it.
Starting point is 00:10:25 I started... Then at one point, not a Tom Cruise movie. Urban Legends, not a Tom Cruise movie. I bailed on all of it. I started, at one point I started Pelican Brief, and I guess this seems like a lot, and then I went with Urban Legend, horror slasher. Jared Leto's in it. It's hard to get into a movie now because you have so many options. You watch five minutes and you're like, do I really want to do this whole thing yeah when i have every movie that i could ever want to watch it's true i almost did jack reacher again oh that's a good one because that's fun i want those kind of movies like a jack reacher i went through jason statham's i go what's
Starting point is 00:10:59 his top movies and i think i've seen all of them. Just a fun, fast-moving. Okay. I re-watched last night this documentary that's so good called The Battered Bastards of Baseball. I think I told you about this. It is so good. It's about Kurt Russell's dad just bought a baseball team in Portland, Oregon, single A team. They weren't affiliated with any major league team.
Starting point is 00:11:26 So he just had open tryouts and guys came from all over the country just to try out to play on this team. Oh, that's awesome. And they were all guys who had been rejected by other teams. So they had this chip on their shoulder and they just start beating everybody. And it's just, it's a great. It's on Netflix? It's on Netflix.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Wow. One of the guys and the Bat Boy invented Big League Chew. Their star player is missing. They don't know where he is now. They think he was an FBI informant. Kurt Russell played. I mean, they would just throw anybody out there and just let them play. That's the best part, that Kurt Russell played.
Starting point is 00:11:59 I like that. Did you see – Oh, yeah, go ahead. I'm so into this movie. If the pitcher needed more time, they would throw a ball out on the field and let their dog just run out on the field, and they'd have to stop play until they corraled the dog. They would just do anything, and it was just – it was really great.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Yeah. That's awesome. I need to watch that. Did you see Joe List, the comedian, got embedded on a minor league baseball team? Oh, yeah. What was that? I don't know. I don't know how that happened, but that's that's the dream right yeah is he was he a coach or i think he was a first base coach yeah i heard him on his
Starting point is 00:12:31 podcast talking about he wanted to get in that bat but i don't know if that ever happened yeah but he's in the dugout and like on the team what's there even really to do as the first base coach oh dusty so much so much is there a lot you Well, a lot of singles. So you're the third base coach is the guy that's like doors wide open. Okay. He's basically going go or don't go. And if they go and they get out, he could just say, I thought you'd be faster. Yeah, yes.
Starting point is 00:12:57 I remember there was a pressure of being a third base coach because you didn't know. You got to really judge to be like, where's the ball? Yeah. Can this dude make it there? And he also gives signals to the guy if he should steal or not. Oh, third base coach does that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Well, he gives, yeah. First base coach just says back. Pitcher throws over. Back. Right, right. No, I was defending the first base coach. But I'm saying that's a pretty important thing. Oh, third base coach.
Starting point is 00:13:23 I think third base has a lot more on him responsibility. That's why the head coach is the third base coach, like in college baseball and stuff. Okay. Never mind. A lot going on. They're both pretty important. They're both important.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I don't know. How about that? I don't. What's the point of the first base? Yeah. Yeah. First base. I don't feel like I'm more convinced now that the first base coach is useful.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Yeah. Did you play sports? A little bit know i did a rec league here and there you didn't play like growing up like uh little league or something or no no well yeah literally like rec league you know i played uh you know i was i was a good field rec league yeah it was rec center dixie youth for us oh yeah i had a little dixie youth we didn't have little league in alabama it was dixie boys that's what i played my whole life but i thought it was just generally called little league base like it was no little league's an official organization oh like pop warner is oh we were a green team the eagles oh yeah high top trucker hats i was into it probably where i picked it up oh yeah yeah how. Yeah. How long was your hair? Well, not very long.
Starting point is 00:14:25 My dad was in charge back then, so I wasn't allowed to do fun things with my hair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My mom cut lines into my hair one time, and my dad picked me up from school that day and then got my head shaved. Yeah. Immediately. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:42 All right, the MAPS comments. Wow. All right, the MAPS comments. Mark Maxwell, Nate just proved why the one-third pound burger didn't work. Yeah. The one-three? One-three. The one-three.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yeah. It looks, I mean, if you're just looking at the numbers, it looks like it's less than a quarter pound. Yeah. Fractions are tough, man. Yeah, they are. You're very nice Aaron it didn't work the burger didn't work
Starting point is 00:15:09 well they gotta up the education system if they want us to well it's like me watching Urban Legend you're like do I want to be the whole you know
Starting point is 00:15:16 what do you want you want a third pound burger and you're like you're a jeans pick he's a Vincent's pick yeah yeah Kristen Flaval Flaval the fact that aaron
Starting point is 00:15:29 the secret genius of the group has had to use his phone to get to nate's house for 105 episodes is mind-boggling you blew it buddy you blew it i blew it well i recommend even if you do know where you're going you put it in google maps it'll let you know if there's traffic jams that'll let you know how to avoid them it's very useful but then when you don't have it how many traffic jams have you got caught in come over to this place yeah uh none none stick out yeah i'm surprised y'all were fine with him saying that. If I'd have said that, I'd have been crucified on here. I feel like I'm getting a fair amount of flack for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:09 It took Kristen to do it. Yeah. Well, I figured you had like a van drop you off. Me? Yeah. I do. From where? The church.
Starting point is 00:16:23 The senior? The church. The senior van the church. The senior man, yeah. The one guy from the church who picks up people, don't drive at night. Next stop, podcast. Brian gets up. Excuse me, excuse me. Be back at four.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Yeah. Me to the stop sign. Mr. McDonald, the fact that Dusty dusty doesn't trust clocks but 30 minutes later says i think if you were a small enough you could ride a seahorse is why he's a great addition to the show we need a little more dusty in our lives yeah i mean i agree i mean if you were small enough to ride a seahorse you would not care about time no you'd just be on that seahorse all day yeah just riding around the ocean, checking it out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:06 And like, this is a good time. Yeah. Time would stop. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Because I don't know what else you have to do. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:13 If you're small enough to ride a seahorse, you can't have, what other plans could you have? Right. That's true. You just got to check around, go out to the coral reefs. Yeah. See what's happening. Can I ask logistically, how would you ride the seahorse? There's not much of an arc in the back. back well you'd have to get a saddle for sure
Starting point is 00:17:29 they're like this one this guy to the right here yeah he's got that little fin yeah you just sit on that really just tie on okay yeah it'd be tiring you're almost like standing up it's almost like a segue maybe you ride in the curl of the tail maybe he just holds you in that tail yeah you'll get a bit bumpy i bet you could have a saddle and you stand and you stand on the saddle and you kind of like lean forward right okay but if he wants you off i mean you're in water so that helps you know uh-huh i'm thinking a little saddle that fits inside the tail and you just ride along the bottom i don't know no that doesn't make don't be ridiculous uh i think you just wrap your legs around his belly there and hold on yeah yeah okay all right uh that one's carrying a q-tip oh yeah so carry you like that
Starting point is 00:18:23 bringing it to me yeah yeah probably you like a good q-tip don't you love a q-tip. Oh, yeah. So it would carry you like that. Bringing it to me. Yeah. Yeah. You like a good Q-tip, don't you? I do love a Q-tip. I like Q-tips. Yeah, they're great. My friend told me he busted his eardrum with a Q-tip. I'm like, you know, be careful. Yeah. How far are you going?
Starting point is 00:18:37 Yeah. It's not a free-for-all. Yeah. You know? People say don't use them. Yeah. Yeah. I use them. They've been doing say don't use them. Yeah. I use them.
Starting point is 00:18:47 They've been doing good for a long time. My buddy from college, he told me, he saw me using Q-tips once, and he said, well, my dad once put them in as earplugs, and then he turned his head too quickly, and it hit a wall, and it messed up his ear pretty bad. Don't do that. Yeah, well, I don't think i'm ever sideways close to a wall i mean i don't know yeah what he was walking around just left him in his ears yeah what do you need earplugs for if you're walking around i think he was using heavy
Starting point is 00:19:17 machinery in his garage or something and he couldn't find earplugs so he just put a couple q-tips in this guy seems like a disaster i mean no yeah there's a point that you're going all right you go that's like not using knives and you're like why he goes well i carried it the backwards way with my hand and then i ran into a wall and it sliced my hand open you're like oh but there's a handle he's like well i didn't yeah i was busy yeah i was yeah i was you know I just, I would, I wish that, you know, the commercial you see where they're showing inside of someone's ear. Yeah. I'm about done with that.
Starting point is 00:19:53 My goodness. What do you mean? I mean, like that and the one that you go up your nose and they just show like how it works. It's like worse than watching a horror movie. Yeah. It's so gross. The ear ones, they go, instead of using Q-tips, you use something,
Starting point is 00:20:07 and it shows it yanking it out of your ear. I have a little pen at home with a camera at the end of it where you can dig it just to see what's going on in there. I saw a bunch of those videos. I want to see what's going on in mine. What do you want? It's down there. What do you see in there?
Starting point is 00:20:22 Pull it up. What's in your ears? It's just earwax and stuff. up what's in your ears it's just ear wax and stuff you just yeah you can clean out your ears with them i just can't believe this guy is using heavy machinery and he's like it's so loud let me get a couple of q-tips and i'll be honest with you i don't know if i've ever had my head that close to a wall where i would when i would jam it like i just don't think i've ever made a turn and been like, God, that wall. Your shoulder would hit the wall first. Maybe it messed up his... Oh, that's fair.
Starting point is 00:20:49 How are you... How long were the Q-tips? I think these were long Q-tips. They must have been. Or he walks around head first, bent over head first. And then just swaying as like, yeah, like a dinosaur.
Starting point is 00:21:03 I need to follow up with him. I need to figure out how that happened. Yeah. Could be an urban legend. Could be an urban legend. That's what I watched last night. A pattern horizon. Nate sees the sun rise and set every day in his house,
Starting point is 00:21:18 and they think this is amazing. He knows north. Let me go tell you something about the pattern horizon. I've never once thought about which way the sun rises or sets. I generally know north. Let me go tell you something, pattern of rising. I've never once thought about which way the sun rises or sets. I generally know north. Me and Justin Smith went on a ride this weekend. We just rode around, and I drove. No, GPET just drove south and then got home.
Starting point is 00:21:38 You just turned around and drove north. Yeah, but we were on back roads. There's no rhyme or reason to how. I wasn't on an interstate. We were just doing back roads. You just felt it out? Just felt it out. I felt this feels north, and I was right.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Could you see the sun? I don't even look at the sun. He looks at moss on the trees. No, I look at just what I feel. I just go, this feels right. Your internal compass. Yeah. That's impressive.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Yeah. It's like Kramer telling time at night. Yeah. It was a little bit tougher. Oh, dude. I forgot to tell you. Somebody in Indianapolis this weekend, a big podcast fan, told me. He said, I kept track of every Seinfeld reference made on Nate Land.
Starting point is 00:22:18 And there's only two episodes where there have not been a Seinfeld reference. Wow. And both of them were when Brian wasn't here. Oh, really? Wow. That's funny. Or he Seinfeld reference. Wow. And both of them were when Brian wasn't here. Oh, really? Yeah. Or he made two this episode. Yeah, that's the only two where Seinfeld was not brought up in any way, shape, or form.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Oh, wow. And I think it's Brian's the one throwing it out. Yeah, there you go. All right. All right. What's the moss on the trees? Did we talk about that? I can't remember if we have.
Starting point is 00:22:41 I saw that somewhere, I feel like. I think it grows north. You know, the moss shows up. shows people got lost in the woods and the moss grows north you follow the moss oh it's a king of the hill episode i was watching i think yeah that's what they said yeah yeah yeah king of the hill mixed up with naitland in your head yeah it's just you know everything goes in here and i don't know what people have commented excuse me all. All right. Still coming back. Yeah. That we're the characters from King of the Hill.
Starting point is 00:23:08 I haven't watched King of the Hill. Oh, I'd be Dale for sure. I always think about myself being. He's a. He used to. He sprays pesticides. Yeah. And is into conspiracies.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Yeah. He may have been based off you. Yeah. Probably could sue them. Yeah. That's maybe why you are why you are. Yeah. The pesticides. Maybe. You like maybe why you are why you are. Yeah. The pesticides.
Starting point is 00:23:26 You like Dale and you go, that's a guy that gets it. I think so. Do you ever worry about that? That those pesticides may have affected you in a way you don't even realize? All the time. Yeah. Every time they say glyphosate causes cancer, I go, oh, I remember that we had that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:40 And what we sold. You sold it. Yes. It was just in your car all the time. Yeah. I used to spill it, just get it on my hands, and just go on about my day. I didn't freak out and go, let's wash up. Yeah, there's no hand sanitizer back there.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Oh, no. Yeah. No. No. We were just doing it. All right. We'll see what happens. We're going to keep us posted on how that plays out.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Episode 400, Dusty has no hair. He's like, well, I'm kind of paid off. There's something. Michael Cupello. The best part of the episode is Nate wisely advising a new comic to punch up with his jokes only minutes after calling Dusty's sister a cow. I know this is the type of hypocrisy that led Turler to jump and ship, but I am all in.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Keep it, boys. Yeah. That's great. That's okay. Yeah. I don't know if you did advise comics to punch up. I didn't probably. I think we settled on you just punching whichever way nobody else is punching.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Yeah, there's that. But I do think you should punch up. You don't make fun of people down but but i mean but there's a it's uh but riffing maybe is different yeah and us joking and riffing is like what does michael funny what does michael capella think of me to think that that's punching down yeah you know i mean that seems like he's punching down at me right now inadvertently yeah yeah well it would be like when you're, like you look at this as equals,
Starting point is 00:25:08 and so we're all just making fun of each other. Right. Because this is a table that's just about, like just make jokes and have fun. That's the point of this. So the only way to do that is to punch at each other. That's how you think of this, as equals? Huh?
Starting point is 00:25:22 At the table. I didn't know the sad news over here was going to jump in, but as the point of it is supposed to be that. Is it not? Yeah, the point of it is. That's what I'm saying. What do you want?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Michael Capella. What sadness do you want to bring to this? That you, what do you not think? You don't think it is equals? No, I'm just trying to be funny. Only Michael Capella
Starting point is 00:25:43 doesn't think it is equals. It's called Nate Land. Huh? It's called Nate Land. Huh? It's called Nate Land. What do you want it to be called? I'm fine with it being called Nate Land, but it's your podcast. Yeah, but I think we're all on this together. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:59 I don't think you want it to be called your name. Batesville. It's so close. It's one letter your name. That's what Batesville. It's so close. It's one letter away. Yeah. I mean, there's Batesville. There's Aaron Land. There's Dusty Town.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Dusty Town. Everybody has like their own. Yeah. You've been following Dusty Town? I mean, I think I follow it, but I don't see what's happening. Oh, they're doing great stuff. Yeah. Everybody's got their own thing.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Yeah. But not enough for, you know, over here. Still wants more. Chase Schuber, one of the most isolated and uncontacted groups of people on Earth are the people on North Sentinel Island in the Bay of Bengal. Multiple times people have tried to land and boat to the island but multiple times people have been killed because of it now that island is protected by the indian navy and it is illegal to visit the island at all looks pretty inviting yeah just people at
Starting point is 00:26:59 the shore with bows yeah it's crazy yeah it's always like if they kill someone, though. I mean, it's like, you just like, if you die, if you're one that went over there and you died, and then you're the family, you're like,
Starting point is 00:27:14 can we do anything? And they're like, no. Sounds like India. The answer is no. I guess not. Sounds like India has some interest over there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Well, you asked last week on the maps episode about, is there anywhere that hasn't been mapped? Yeah. I think that's kind of based on what he's there. Yeah. Well, you asked last week on the maps episode about, is there anywhere that hasn't been mapped? Yeah. I think that's kind of based on what he's saying. Right. And Antarctica is a crazy, doing my research on it, because no one owns Antarctica.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Yeah. It's just 50 years ago, they did a treaty of Antarctica where like 14 countries all kind of share it. Yeah. But you can't just go to Antarctica. You have to have a special permission to go there. Who would you call? Well, you can go to a boat as a tourist
Starting point is 00:27:53 and just land at the northern tip and just step off on it, but you can't just go on your own. You'd have to call the U.S. government and get some kind of special permission. They don't let people go. So there's a lot of Antarctica. We don't know what's going on there. Am i legally allowed to go to the moon if i wanted to didn't china own it now did they claim that they i think so oh they try to claim they they never
Starting point is 00:28:15 even landed on it they i think if you build a ship yeah just yeah exactly yeah build the ship i mean jeff bezos was like i'm gonna go to the moon And then he just went Way up in the sky And then came down And then they all Clapped for him Well they all say This space thing
Starting point is 00:28:30 I don't think he said I'm going to the moon He said he's gonna go to space And they never really You know it's like They go to like You know it's like We were like above the cloud
Starting point is 00:28:39 You're like Higher than a plane He's like I mean barely You can't land on the moon He goes I was a little higher than... They were weightless for a short amount of time.
Starting point is 00:28:48 We had to dodge some Delta traffic. That is... You pay $20 billion just to one minute up there, you're like, we got close. You're like, I want to go. Wake me up when we're going. When are you in it?
Starting point is 00:29:03 You're out of here you're in space i don't think there's any flights that go over antarctica either there's not yeah well just because there's no point to it well like you know it seems like you would if you want to go from australia to south america you just skip right over antarctica yeah but they don't do it well they say they're you you have to have a landing pad. Yeah, it's like an hour. Yeah. Well, that's not what they say. They say the reason they won't let you go over
Starting point is 00:29:29 is because you've got to have a landing strip somewhere within a certain amount of miles and they say that doesn't cover it. Let's go ahead and make one. Yeah. What do you think is going on in Antarctica? I can't say. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:44 You're saying, so let's just throw up a little landing strip there in the middle of Antarctica. That way we can fly over it. Yeah. I think you'd also lose radio signal there. Let's build a little something down there. Why don't we have like an Antarctic resort right in the middle? Yeah, why would we just, instead of the moon, just be like, let's go figure out Antarctica.
Starting point is 00:30:03 Yeah. Let's figure out us first maybe this is the new world they go like hey fix yourself before you fix everybody yeah look in the mirror buddy yeah look in the mirror yeah yeah now they say the reason they don't just average tourists coming out is for pollution reasons they don't want to pollute the land the animals the wildlife so they just let a select group of scientists come is it not like just ice and snow up there it is so there's not a lot well some people think there's a lot more going on there they think some people think antarctica is a lot bigger than what's on that map there was this guy named
Starting point is 00:30:33 admiral bird or something and he had a thing where he said he flew and found a lot of land in antarctica like not not with snow on it yeah he said like a land the size of north america down there oh interesting yeah so all right there's a lot going on i think we should go let's go check it out i think we should go we're doing a live podcast from there yeah uh hello yeah hey a couple polar bears uh nick ventura i just need to let you know that aaron is probably my favorite member from the podcast all right but this episode may have changed that oh no he said moneyball is the greatest baseball movie of all time has he seen the sandlot or major league i have i have seen those Sandlot may be the most important movie of my childhood in a lot of ways,
Starting point is 00:31:27 but it doesn't really hold up. If you watch it as an adult, you're like, this is fun. But it is a movie for children. Why was it the most important movie? It was just the biggest movie. I watched it all the time. It was quoted very frequently. I played baseball growing up.
Starting point is 00:31:42 It's all we talked about was that movie. You're killing me, Smalls. You're killing me, Smalls. You're killing me, Smalls. I ate a lot of s'mores. Yeah. So it was big for me. But Moneyball's an adult movie, and I'm an adult now. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Put away childish things. Wow. That was a shock. Really bringing it home, huh? You seen the battered bastards of baseball? Yeah, I need to check that out. Major League is great, though, too. Major League's fun.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Yeah, Major League is fun. We're going to battle Nick and Aaron, I think. When I had short hair and no beard, people would call me Squints. Oh, yeah? From that movie. You used to have thicker black frame glasses, right? Yeah. It was a whole change.
Starting point is 00:32:19 Oh, like when you were older. Yeah. They still called you Squints. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They said I looked like Squints when he grew up. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Except I looked like squints when he grew up. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:27 I could see that. And then I was into, yeah. All right. All right. All right. So this, so since we, we're going to talk about candy. Since I don't think we, you know, we talked about a lot of bear stuff. A lot of bear stuff.
Starting point is 00:32:44 I like the bear stuff. I did too. I could listen to you talk about how to get away from bears all day. It's pretty fun. Yeah. I mean, I was really picking up some tips. Yeah. It's how you should be doing it.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Yeah. I think we're on to something. But we didn't. So we were supposed to talk about candy. We didn't talk a ton about candy. Bates wasn't here to keep it back on track. So now we have more candy. More candy.
Starting point is 00:33:10 I had some candy this weekend. This week was not good for the diet. It was bad. What causes that to happen? Do you just decide going in, this weekend's kind of a wash? It was, you know, it was like Harper's birthday, so we went out to eat with Harper. You and Justin running around. This weekend's kind of a wash. It was, you know, it was like Harper's birthday, so we went out to eat with Harper. And then.
Starting point is 00:33:26 You and Justin running around. And me and, yeah. We didn't eat bad then. But it was, Harper's was, we go eat. I think I had prime rib. I was like, just start. Like, it is sometimes when you're going down. Because I got down to 166 this weekend.
Starting point is 00:33:40 That's crazy. And then I'm 169 right now. Which I'm kind of getting stuck right in this window and it's because i haven't been great on my calorie intake uh and it's because i've been at home but it's like you just start like you know as some of it is like you know what it's just i feel like i needed a break like it's like it's been so much of doing it and then you're like it was her birthday and uh so i had like prime rib then that night that the cousins all spent the night and so then they had pizza and i'm like i'm just i'm like i felt very hungry and felt you just like kind of tired of it so i ate pizza that night i thought all right i'll do good tomorrow and the next day was that we had our we celebrated her birthday on the 9th and then it was like then
Starting point is 00:34:25 the weekend just ended up out of pieces of cake and then uh you know then we go to my i do some with my brother and we go golf and hang out and then so i then you're just like the weekend was like it's a special occasion can throw it off yeah and it and that that's hard to uh especially because we're trying like it wouldn't be bad. Once I can get down to where I want to get down, then you can have a little more leeway. But the good thing is mentally you do know, I feel like you can kind of feel it. You're like, well, I messed up. And I don't want, I want to go back to like my energy has been really good.
Starting point is 00:35:01 And when I was eating good, that's the craziest part is the energy is how much energy you have that's that's the best part i think and so then now it's like all right let's and like today is like i'm gonna go back you know i'm going back in 1500 calories that's what we're down to right now which is low but we're trying to lose i'm trying to lose weight for the special yeah oh you started 1800 now you're down to 1500 yeah we just went down to 15 and then so is it going to get lower than this or is this as low no low it could stay at 18 too if i was uh exercising it's hard to burn calories and i've been walking when i golf but even that is like 600 calories it's like not as crazy as you think but it's still 600 which is a lot uh
Starting point is 00:35:41 but you know i mean i can't you know it's like i can't play every day or walk every day uh so but it's like i stay at 1500 it's like if i could stay that for a little bit let's see when's the last time you've been in the 160s i don't know i wouldn't even know high school i be probably i don't think i never weighed myself thin that i remember But yeah, it'd be. Yeah, 160s is low. Yeah. Like I've been 160, like when I quit drinking, I went from like 220 all the way down to like the 160s. And yeah, but I was.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Yeah, I was drinking all the time. How'd you get there? Eating all the time. Yeah. And doing nothing, you know. I would, yeah, I was really bloated looking. Yeah, 220. I know, that was. You really weighed 220? That was the heaviest I got. I don yeah, I was really bloated looking. Yeah, 220. I know, that was- You really weighed 220?
Starting point is 00:36:26 That was the heaviest I got. I don't think I was there long. Yeah. But, because then I quit drinking, I started biking every day. Yeah. There's probably a big picture out there somewhere. Yeah. But hopefully it's tucked away.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Hopefully it's hidden. Yeah, 220 is Dusty Slave Fatty. Oh, good. They seem tucked away. I met... I'm sure there's one out there. It's funny. Other comics picture comes up.
Starting point is 00:36:52 I met some of Dusty's friends from Opelika when I was with Dusty and Huntsville. And I've always felt like you're a goodwill hunting situation in the sense that you worked at a water company and then you went on to this greatness. I mean, I feel like we have two of them. Just hearing stories about Dusty and growing up in Opelika, the fact that both of you guys
Starting point is 00:37:12 got out is just amazing. We've done it twice here. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, like the- Well, when you don't hate where you have to go back to, I think that helps. Yeah. If I had to go back to a water company, I'd be fine with it.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Like it's. And Matt Damon was like that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to sell pesticides again, but I would do it. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:32 You already have, you already have all the stuff that comes with it. Yeah. And I'd be, I'd be better. Yeah. Yeah. I was very excited to hang with Dusty and Huntsville.
Starting point is 00:37:41 You guys are like my church group friends that my parents wanted me to hang out with. Dusty's like the guy across the tracks, the cool kid that my parents did not want me to hang out with. I was very excited. So for his 40th birthday, I said, I'm going to buy some cigars because he loves smoking cigars on the show. And I asked him what kind he liked. He texted to me. I was all excited. I went to the cigar store, bought them, and took them down there.
Starting point is 00:38:06 And it was kind of like George with Elaine's boyfriend, who's cool, Tony. Yeah. Packed sandwiches. Yeah. And then his friend Matt came, and I said, well, I didn't bring cigars for Matt. Yeah. He's like, that's okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:20 And I've never really smoked a cigar. I was never going to tell anyone about Brian smoking cigars, but I'm excited that you're telling people. We took lawn chairs or camping chairs, and we sat outside in downtown Huntsville. And his friends from Opelika. Outside that hotel? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Like, yeah, that's a cool area to sit. Yeah. The one downtown? Yeah, yeah. There's like, isn't there a square? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And I didn't know how to light it.
Starting point is 00:38:46 He had to show me how to light it. I mean, I've seen people go through an entire pack of matches trying to light it, but I had a real lighter. Yeah. I mean, it's as easy as it could possibly be. I struggle lighting it and then just keeping it going. And then his friends join us and we're all talking. I didn't even know how to hold it. I'm watching everyone else trying to hold it like they do.
Starting point is 00:39:07 I mean, he's exhaling or trying to, I mean, he's like. I mean, I'd never seen anything like it. Yeah. And. How was he holding it? I mean, you know, he's probably holding it, but he's like. Like a horn? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Yeah. Yeah. Like he got up. Listen, I never was gonna tell anyone it was so bad I was like I can't even make fun of Brian I got worried that Dusty was furious at me because he wouldn't make an eye contact I'm with his friends and they're all
Starting point is 00:39:34 talking and I'm over there and he would not make eye contact I was like I think Dusty is furious at me I wasn't mad at you but I was I thought he was just really embarrassed like who is this guy with us and then finally and for you for your other buddy to be like and so you didn't have a cigar for me you're like just give you know he's like just give me that why didn't you just give me that cigar i did oh i mean obviously after your lips were on it no no no i had more
Starting point is 00:39:58 than i just i realized some too i realized, I ain't going to be doing this for... Wait, so we had cigars for everybody? Yeah, I did have some for my friend, yeah. Okay. Because this all started with you telling Matt, I don't have enough cigars. Yeah. But, I mean, he got, I don't know, about this much through the cigar. Yeah, yeah. And then you took off.
Starting point is 00:40:22 I got about halfway through. They got a hold of me. And then it was... Can't wait now. That's what I was like with George. It was very hot out there. And about after a while, I'm like, I'm starting to feel a little sick. And I thought, I want to bow out of here without making it obvious because everyone's sitting around talking.
Starting point is 00:40:39 And his buddy, Matt, I guess watched the podcast. He's like, man, those squirrels are really becoming a problem with you, aren't they? And I was like, you know what? I got to go. Yeah. And I just tried to bow out. a problem with you aren't they and I was like You know what I gotta go And I just tried to bow out and I went back to my Room and just passed out on the bed Yeah You try to
Starting point is 00:40:54 Like it's funny to go through all that and you're like Let me try to leave gracefully And it's like you could just go This is not working for me I think everyone knew it It was funny because you were like, drive safe to my friend. You were like. You could just hear me coughing for a while as I walk away.
Starting point is 00:41:10 How long did y'all talk about him when you left? A little bit. Yeah. A little while. A little bit. Yeah. But I was not going to tell people about that because I was like, it was a struggle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:24 It's all right. I learned. Kids, if you're at home, it was a struggle. Yeah. It's all right. I learned. Kids, if you're at home, don't do drugs. Well, I just felt like, hey, Brian's just a good person, and he never smokes things, and that's very good. Yeah. Yeah. Not a bad thing.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Yeah. All right. It's candy. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Here we go. Comments again.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Oh, what? 30 minutes of cigar talk. Yeah. Yeah. Do you guys, can you guess what the top selling candy is in America? There's two that are by far the top, and they kind of go back and forth. Snickers? No, they're four.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Of all time or current? I guess current. Sour Patch Kids? What would you think all time would be? Gummy Bears. Oh, Hershey's. Hershey's. I'm guessing a Hershey's chocolate bar Gummy Bears. Oh, Hershey's. Hershey's Bar. I'm guessing a Hershey's Chocolate Bar.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Number three. Oh, number three. Hershey Kisses? Just Hershey Bar. Wow. Number three. Tootsie Roll. Nope, not on there.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Werther's Original. No. What's number two? Jolly Ranchers. And these go back and forth. Number two, Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Okay. M&M's.
Starting point is 00:42:23 Yeah. M&M's. Number one. M&M's. Oh, yeah. They have a huge store. M&M's is good. Yeah. forth number two reese's peanut butter cup okay m&ms yeah number one number one m&ms oh yeah they have a huge store m&ms good yeah it's just a solid they're they start adding colors and you're like this is all fun even somehow they do many m&ms and it's like it's somehow it's like the exact same thing and you're like this is better somehow i don't like them and you like you're not like them i like the minis yeah i don't like them? I like the minis. Yeah. I don't like it in principle.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Well, they're already small, and then they're going smaller again. Yeah. They're like ibuprofen. They're like pills. Am I supposed to just swallow these whole? Yeah. No, you got to put a bunch of them in. They got to go in your mouth like a wave.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Yeah. It's in the little plastic tube. I think it's just, yeah. But I think it'd be better to carry the – it looks cooler to carry just the sack of M&Ms, the bag. Like a clear bag? No, no, like the bag that comes in. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:16 You know, if you carry the tube of many M&Ms, it's kind of like – It's a tough look, yeah. Yeah, that's not good. What about peanut M&Ms? I'm a big fan of those. I'm not a fan of people – I mean, I eat them, but I'm not against it. You know, I's not good. What about peanut M&Ms? I'm a big fan of those. I'm not a fan of people. I mean, I eat them, but I'm not against it. I'm not crazy.
Starting point is 00:43:30 I'm not a fan. I'll eat them. If there's two bowls and you leave me alone in a room, I'm going to eat all the M&Ms. Really? Yeah. That's interesting. I would bet all the money I have that the overwhelming majority of people would pick the peanut M&Ms.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Really? Yeah. They're bigger. You feel like you're getting – sorry, my Google search history just pulled up. It's just dusty slave fat, dusty slave fatty. Sorry, that distracted me. But I feel like a peanut M&M, you feel like you're getting more. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:01 It feels more – It's like the Snickers bar of M&Ms. There's substance to it. i don't want a meal man i just want to do it yeah i would go in but i mean m&ms are they're fun they are yeah it's all a good time yeah so if you go by if you go to movies you're buying the peanut no i'm saying i think most people would yeah you wouldn't know no i'm just straight popcorn at the movie theater. But if I had to pick one, I'd pick the peanut M&M's. Okay, that was the whole question I was asking. No, steak dinner? I'm going to have steak.
Starting point is 00:44:35 But if we're not at a steak dinner, not a nice place, no bread, peanut M&M's. Yeah, I like that you think that most people would do it but not you no i'm just saying that it said i think it's a little more rare than nate presented it nate presented it as if i thought it'd be very it's the number one seller m&ms yeah right aren't peanut m&ms a little more expensive oh i don't know oh yeah that's why it seems like it costs more to make i think that there we go that factors in Oh, yeah. That's why. Seems like it'd cost more to make. There we go. That factors in. A little bit.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Yeah, that's why you do like them. Yeah. Because y'all were able to afford them. And they're here, and here we go. And that's where it all comes in. Big money. Yeah. Special forks for those.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Yeah. You walk in, it's just all yellow bags. So then you go to someone's house and they don't have soda or Coke. Like when you're like, you have any Cokes? cokes and they're like no that makes me so angry you go to someone's house and they don't have cokes like diet coke or any like yeah and you're like where you got a drink i've got water and like some hand squeeze juice they have no like soda and i'm just like what is the point i brought soda this weekend somewhere because i just don't want to be unprepared. I don't want to run the risk.
Starting point is 00:45:49 I feel like I'm going somewhere that either it's nice or if I'm going to someone's house, and you can feel the person out, then you're like, they're not going to have soda. I'm going to just bring- You think I have sodas in my fridge? I think you would. Yeah. Yeah. You do? I have a whole separate fridge. Yeah, yeah. Wow. I have sodas in my fridge? I think you would. Yeah. Yeah. You do?
Starting point is 00:46:06 I have a whole separate fridge. Yeah. Wow. I have a downstairs fridge. But even if you did, I think, would you have, do you have sodas? I have some Sam's Cokes at the house. You would be like, that would throw me through a loop. Because it is soda.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Yeah. It is. But you'd rather buy the Sam's one? Well, someone sent it to me. Yeah. Do you not drink soda? Not really. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:30 I like a ginger ale. Yeah, if someone doesn't drink it, you have, yeah. But you have diet, right? I have diet. I have you covered. I'm going to. But do you have regular? No.
Starting point is 00:46:42 We've had some regular before. We have all diet. Yeah, so I don't like the diets. And then, so we could have some regular. We could have a couple cans here and there, but it's like in case someone's like, I want regular Coke. Do you drink a lot of Coke or you just have it around? No, I drink a lot of it. But it's like if I go somewhere and I don't think you're going to have it, then I'm going to bring my own.
Starting point is 00:47:04 Yeah. And what do you bring I'm going to bring my own. Yeah. And what do you bring, Pepsi? I bring my diet. I mean, if I want to do that, I'm bringing my own. I'm bringing, you know, everybody's got water. I got a diet Pepsi bottle. I just makes me, when someone, when you go somewhere and they're like, they don't have it, you're like, I got to eat.
Starting point is 00:47:20 They're going to have pizza. And then you're like, and water? Pizza and water. Pizza and water? Do you like sweet tea? Yeah. Sweet tea I'd be fine with, but I still would drink soda over sweet tea. But sweet tea, if you do it, you're like, you're meeting me halfway.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Right. You're at least acknowledging there's other drinks. Someone's got some sugar with it. Yeah, something that's like, we're not being lunatics here and you know, you understand that we live in a society. What if you were offered kombucha? I don't even know what that is. It's like a,
Starting point is 00:47:53 um, uh, it's like a, a gut drink, but it's, um, it's got, uh,
Starting point is 00:48:00 it's fermented. Yeah. So it's got, um, the suds, whatever you call that, like carbonation. Oh, somewhat. No, I it's got the suds, whatever you call that. Like carbonation. Somewhat.
Starting point is 00:48:06 No. If I go to eat, if I hang out with people in LA and I go to their house, it's a major problem. I know they're not going to have... I know... I don't even...
Starting point is 00:48:23 It's in my plans to just go ahead and stop and bring my own soda. I used to drink Coke. I did it at Roy Scovel's house. We had pancakes at his house one day, and I brought, I went over there, and this was a long time ago, and I brought my own soda over, because I just knew you're not going to have, I mean, and maybe I'm the one that's in the wrong. I understand, like, you know, I don't want just orange juice. I want my, but it's like you can just tell. L.A., guaranteed, anybody's house you're going to, you ain't getting soaked.
Starting point is 00:48:53 Like, they're not going to have any of that stuff. Yeah, I used to just drink so much Coke as a kid that I don't know. I just feel like I'm like, I can't do it now. I mean, I like to have one, but I like it to be rare enough to when I have it, I'm like, I can't do it now. I mean, I'd like to have one, but I like it to be rare enough to when I have it, I'm like, oh, that's good. Yeah, that's good.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Well, that's probably the relationship you should have with someone. Yeah. But I mean, we used to keep Cokes under my mom's bed, room temperature. All summer, I would just go get them out of there and just drink them room temp. Do you call everything a Coke too?
Starting point is 00:49:23 Oh, yeah. Everything's a Coke and then you go from there. Yeah. Yeah. We would do that too. I've stopped doing it now just because of my act. Cause I don't think enough people do that.
Starting point is 00:49:32 So it's like, if I talk about Coke, now I say soda just cause it's like, I'm just not trying to add more to a confused, when the joke's not about that. But yeah, it was always like you have Cokes and you go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Then you go, all right, what kind of Sprite, Dr. Pepper, you know, Coke, like, you know, like you have Cokes and you go, yeah. Then you go, all right, what kind? I have Sprite. I have Dr. Pepper. I have Coke. You would just say that. I was going to say the ballpark near my house where I played Dixie Youth growing up, they used to have this policy.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Whenever a foul ball would be hit over the fence, the announcer would come on and go, please return that ball from the concession stand for a free Coke. Yeah, we did that too. Yeah, and I used to be in it, I mean, a couple other guys, we just – full-time job just out there shagging foul balls. Yeah. Just racking up those Cokes, dude.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Got a suicide. Oh, I can see that now, though. I can see kids now fighting over a ball for a Coke. Oh, yeah. It's the best. I could walk away with five or six a night just shagging those balls for people. Just sitting there. Your family, where they have it, is it on the exercise room again? What? I could walk with five or six a night just shagging those balls for people, man. Just sitting there.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Your family, do they have his only exercise you're doing? What? Is your parents happy? Well, he's at least running. Yeah, exactly. They're like, he's drinking a lot of Coke, but he is running. It's like a win-win. They're like, I feel like we're breaking even at least.
Starting point is 00:50:45 It's either he's going to sit here and eat peanut M&Ms and drink soda and sit or he's at least gonna have to go work for it it's like it's like the you're like the uh the old man the old days hunter but you're like the new version of it that you're like well we had to go get i wasn't my parents didn't buy me cokes i had to go earn the fine foul ball i had to go find foul ball you'd be so jacked up at the end of the night, too, I bet. Oh, yeah, I did. We used to get, after the games, they'd bring out, and everyone got a free coke, all the kids. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:12 I don't think they do that anymore. You would get the suicide. I bet they do in places that are fun, but most of the world is unfun. Yeah. And you go, but I would imagine regular, you're still, because there's times you go and you think everything's this like uh it's not like politically correct but it's like this we're like we're not doing we're not giving sodas we're not doing all this stuff and then you
Starting point is 00:51:35 you go to places you're like no people are still doing that everybody like you know i don't think i i think so yeah i mean i stuff has gotten way more health conscious. But it's like, I can tell when I, when someone comes over, I can see it. I take, you know, because it's for us. It's like, I'm going to give the kids McDonald's. And like, I'll just tell someone's, you know, are you fine with that? And I try to gauge it.
Starting point is 00:51:59 You know, sometimes the parent is like, I mean, yeah, she doesn't ever get it. And then, you know, but then I'm like, she gets it enough that it's not that big. Yeah, it's Tuesday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are the kids that don't get it? Are they like, this is great? Oh, they love it.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Yeah. They love it. Yeah. You've hooked to be a child. Yeah, they try to get, well, but it's because I think their I think their family cooks a ton. Right. Which Laura cooked, but it's like when I've got them, it's like obviously we're not cooking.
Starting point is 00:52:29 And so it's going to be – we're going to go down another road. We used to eat fast food every day. That's how I grew up like that. It was just like the hecticness. My mom cooked, but the hecticness of it sometimes, everybody's so busy, it's like, yeah, you're just having to go eat fast food. So, I mean, I just still, that's why I have trouble eating because it's even with the calorie thing, I have trouble.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Like I don't still make food at home. I got to figure out how to do it at fast food places. Today I'm getting grilled chicken, Chick-fil-A sandwich and salad. And so it's like that would be i'm trying to stay at 600 calories right and that will be what you know it's like i figure out like ways that's how i have to eat because i it's like that's how i think to eat that's the healthiest fast food meal i've ever heard of by the way yeah it might be as healthy as you can get yeah fast food place yeah you got to find those goats that's the key to lose weight you got to or if your mind works like like a lot of people make food but if your mind works like mine and i don't know how to
Starting point is 00:53:30 not eat out and so i don't know how to like think i don't know like i'm not gonna i don't want to cook so it's like i just think all right i'm gonna how do i go like what what are my go-tos that like when i'm like in a panic what can i go get and so you gotta find like here's this at chick-fil-a i can get this okay chipotle i can have this yeah and like or something you know you gotta find like little you know a cliff bar like you just things that you're like if i'm feel like i'm about to because that's when you spire out because you're starving yeah and then you're like i like, I had McDonald's last night. That was added on to the whole thing because I go, well, if I'm eating bad, you know, because
Starting point is 00:54:08 then you can see that, like, I could just see myself like, well, this is what happens. Yeah. Once you start to eat bad too, you're like, well, I've already done it now. Let's go. Yeah. That's why I never drink again. Yeah. Because I feel like if I had one, I'd be like, oh, well, it's gone now.
Starting point is 00:54:22 I've already broke it. Yeah. 2022 is a wash. Yeah. I'll see broke it. Yeah. 2022 is a wash. Yeah. I'll see you again next year. Back in your 220. Yeah. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:54:31 I would love for you to get back. Yeah. Aaron looks like a swimmer. Yeah. Like you're over, you know. Dusty's the new one. All right. That'd be great.
Starting point is 00:54:41 We'll get back into candy. So still on M&Ms. All right. That'd be great. We'll get back into candy. So still on M&Ms, in the 70s, red food dye in America was, there was a study that said it was linked to cancer. Yeah. And so the FDA banned red food dye in the 70s.
Starting point is 00:54:58 And even though it wasn't this type of food coloring in M&Ms, red M&Ms, people got so upset about it that M&M had to disband the red M&M. From 1976 until 1987, there were no red M&M's. Yeah. But then they finally brought it back in 87. Oh, they're back now? They just gave up on the cancer thing? Well, it wasn't even true.
Starting point is 00:55:18 Oh. They just, it was a study. I love all the bad things we eat. They're like, blame the food dye. But I hear, I wonder how these. Just the color red. How do these things get started? Who's starting that?
Starting point is 00:55:30 A candy company that doesn't use the color red that's trying to sabotage another company? No, it's probably, you know, some, I don't know, some scientists. They're just doing some study and like, it's just. You think it's just a genuine mistake that gets spread? Yeah. I mean, it probably just spirals out. Yeah. And then it's like, next thing you know, it's just. You think it's just a genuine mistake that gets spread? Yeah, I mean, it probably just spirals out. Yeah. And then it's like, next thing you know, it's like, and they say it, and then they go, oh, yeah, well, a scientist said it.
Starting point is 00:55:53 No one questions that. And then you're like, all right, so this scientist said. You don't have to say the scientist. You just say science. Yeah, maybe a scientist was trying to make a little name for himself. He was like, you know what? I'm trying to get a little. I'm the red guy.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Yeah. And then the green M&M guy is likem guys and you gotta go after something popular because it's like also it's something that people can wrap their head around so they if you're taking away if you say red dye is bad you're like well i don't really i'm not gonna know what that means but if you tell me you're taking the red m&m away now i know what that means so it's like i feel like if you're that specific if you're like we're taking nerds away then it's like nerds are bad like it doesn't matter what's in it that's bad it's just the fact that you're they go after the red m&m that seems very weird yeah and so then that story becomes you know taking the red m&m way oh yeah like that's a very that's a it's an
Starting point is 00:56:40 easy story to tell imagine eating m&m's oh, good thing those reds are gone. Yeah. I remember hearing. It's the exact same taste. I mean, the color doesn't ever matter. Right. Right. And so it's like, it's just fun.
Starting point is 00:56:54 But it's like, it's also M&M might have just given into it just because they're like, whatever. Right. I think that was the case. People weren't buying M&M's because they were freaking out about it. Yeah. M&M's just took it off to no red ones yeah i remember hearing as a kid that there was a color in mountain dew that made men infertile yellow five yellow five yeah had you heard that before yeah i think so how did we should talk to the guy that probably is the most experienced i
Starting point is 00:57:22 drank a lot of mountain dew back in the day. Yeah. That's for sure. I was a mellow yellow guy. I like mellow yellow too. Yeah. I like Kyle Petty. You were what? Mountain Dew Surge. Mountain Dew Surge?
Starting point is 00:57:33 I don't think it was a Mountain Dew product. I feel like I, yeah, it was. You remember Surge? Yeah, but you're young. And it's funny that it's like, mellow yellow was the big one. I don't know. I never had a Surge. I was a fan of Kyle Petty. He drove the NAS would mellow yellow was the big one i don't know i never had a surge i was a fan of kyle petty he drove the nascar mellow yellow car i used to wear a lot of mellow yellow
Starting point is 00:57:50 shirts i love the name mellow yellow yeah it's a great name it's a great name nothing mellow about i like mellow yellow but at some point this rumor got spread that there's a chemical in the drink that is bad for people to drink and i don don't, was that based on anything you think? Or is this just? See, that's what I'm thinking. I think Pepsi starts this. Yeah. Tries to get that going.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Yeah. Well, they do say birth rates are down. Yeah. They, in specific mellow yellow area. Yeah. I think I had, I think I drank diet mellow yellow. Sorry. I think I drank Diet Mellow Yellow. Sorry. I think I drank Diet Mellow Yellow.
Starting point is 00:58:28 And I think it still had, what is it? Did it? It was either, I thought it was that or Diet Mellow. But one of them still had like calories where you're like, well, what's the point? The point of it was supposed to be zero calories. Like five or 10 in a bottle. Yeah. And you're like, you're like, they're like, we're doing the best we can.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Yeah. Mellow Yellow's giving up. They're like, listen. like, we're doing the best we can. Yeah, Melo Yellow's giving up. They're like, listen. This is as good as we can do. I mean, in that five or ten, it's actually like 30. I'll be honest with you, you got a regular Melo Yellow. I'm going to cut to the chase here, all right? You got a regular Melo Yellow.
Starting point is 00:58:56 We just poured out half of this, but water it. Yeah. It goes, we can't get it to zero. I mean, these people are lying to you. If they came out and said it had calories, diet, drinks, I would be devastated. Devastated. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Me too. Do you know the M&M characters? I guess they all have their own personalities. Absolutely M&Ms. All right, we'll move on. No, no. They updated them a few months ago to be more politically correct. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:59:26 I guess one of the, let's see here, the green M&M, she wore go-go boots, and they got rid of that to make her seem like a more confident woman and not just a sex symbol. Well, you know, there was a reason, you know, the green. What has she got now? Like she wears an apron or something? They had a whole thing about the green M&Ms. It just makes it worse.
Starting point is 00:59:53 What does she do? She carries two babies on the side? The mini M&Ms? Yeah, she has two mini M&Ms. That's her at the bottom there. That's the updated one. Interesting. They left the high heels On the brown M&M
Starting point is 01:00:08 Yeah She's a business woman Yeah Oh so the green one Oh she's like The top one is the old version Where she's kind of a Sex symbol
Starting point is 01:00:18 What are these arms and legs Supposed to be? I don't know The orange one There They changed him He had an anxious personality that he made him look worried oh that was the model yeah but uh they said now his shoelaces
Starting point is 01:00:35 will be tied to represent his cautious his cautious agent orange here yeah this is like i mean but this is like people that just uh they're trying to just keep their jobs like there's a point with that where you're like we are just i don't even i've never even looked at them this i hadn't either the fact that you're you're watching the drama like it's a show and you're like i don't you know you're like what about these m&ms though yeah the red m&m had shown bully tendencies in the past but now he's more kind to his co-characters. He still looks like a bit of a... He's got some sass to him. Yeah, well, it's like he should have that.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Yeah, he was giving people cancer. Yeah, that was the least he was doing. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. And that green one's confident now? Because she has tennis shoes on? Yep, she's a more confident woman. She looks pretty confident up here.
Starting point is 01:01:24 Yeah, I'd say she looks more confident. I think she looks more confident at the top. She's wearing Yep. She's a more confident woman. Oh, instead of the big... She looks pretty confident up here. Yeah. I'd say she looks more confident. I think she looks more confident at the top. She's wearing boots. She's different. They're like, no, but now she's at the bottom and she's mixed in with everybody else. She has no personality, so she's more confident. You go, okay. Yeah, that's all the bottom looks like is they all have no personality.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Yeah, yeah. You're like, well, now they're all equals and the exact same. You're like, oh, so they're not fun anymore. Great. She represents confidence and empowerment as a strong female and not just about her boots. Yeah, no one even...
Starting point is 01:01:51 This is who my nieces look up to. They should have just kept them as M&Ms. They do. That's right. Yeah, she wakes up every day. She has a poster of them on the thing.
Starting point is 01:02:02 What does it get? Yeah. They really want to make them more human-like. Just ought to give them a torso or a separate head. Well, this is what makes me uncomfortable. I've never looked at their legs and arms. What are they supposed to...
Starting point is 01:02:13 We're just supposed to not think about them? I don't know. You're the reason why... You saying this is how you end up tying that guy's shoes. You're like, the point of it is we should not even be talking this long about it. I'm saying I haven't until now. Now I'm looking at it. And now you're looking at the legs and you're like, what's the point of the legs?
Starting point is 01:02:32 Now I know when I see these commercials come out, I don't even be looking at everything. You go look at all the legs and be like, what's, yeah. They only have four fingers. None of them have knees. Maybe she'd be more confident if she had, I don't know, five fingers. Yeah. Maybe more attractive legs.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Yeah. She did at the top. Yeah, at the top. Yeah. She's got like skin tone there. Yeah. So someone just goes, so she's not hot anymore? You're like, what?
Starting point is 01:03:06 Charleston Chew. You guys familiar with Charleston Chew? I've heard of it Never had it Heard of it Never had it I don't even know what it looks like I'm just bringing it up Because I bought it for you guys
Starting point is 01:03:12 Yeah Whoa Where'd you get it at? I went to a candy store At Opry Mills Did you pay a change? Two and thirty calories I wish It's not bad for a candy bar of that size right no no and if
Starting point is 01:03:28 it's certain size is one bar which is nice that is nice because it's like you want to go give me the yeah you don't have to give me the number two it's like yeah that's when you order something you're like you want the tax total you like give me the whole thing yeah i don't need yeah to be tricked uh yeah i don't know what this is. Try frozen. Yeah, supposedly better frozen. All candy, all chocolate's better frozen. This is vanilla. Yeah, I think there's different... Now, what is the Charleston Chew all
Starting point is 01:03:54 about? I even lived in Charleston for a long time and did not eat that candy. Well, it's named after the dance to Charleston. It has nothing to do with Charleston. What does it look like? Well, wouldn't you think that dance was named after the city? Well, I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Oh, it's like a... Yeah, I don't know. It's... Oh, it's got like vanilla inside of it. It's like a bite of... Yeah. Oh, okay. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:04:19 That looks like marshmallow. Yeah. It does look a little bit like marshmallow. I don't think... I don't want to criticize it, but I am not interested. Yeah's that would be a candy that you're like i got some time to kill yeah i'll take a little piece of that it's very uh this is not a clean that's why it's probably good frozen yeah yeah i can see yeah because it pulls back oh it just went all in it It's Mikey over here. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:46 It does taste like marshmallow. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I like that. Some candy that's been discontinued. O'Henry? No. You can see that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:54 Sue Ellen Mischke is the heiress to O'Henry. O'Henry. I can see it. Well, the name O'Henry. Well, what can I get into you on? I'll take an O'Henry. Yeah. I think you don't like the name?
Starting point is 01:05:03 I don't think so. I kind of like it. There's a hole in in my bucket is that something to do with that song oh henry oh henry oh and that's the song uh there's i don't know about that song but you never heard that yeah i don't like the uh the packaging as much as the name oh henry oh henry well if you're saying it like that. Some people think it was. There is an exclamation point. It was named after Henry Aaron, Pink Aaron. Oh. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:33 Did they not tell yes or no to that? There's like four different versions of where the name came from. Yeah. And Baby Ruth is not supposedly named after Babe Ruth. Yeah. Didn't we talk about that? We did on the President's episode. Now, that's a good candy. It was named after Babe Ruth. Yeah, didn't we talk about that? We did on the President's episodes. Now, that's a good candy.
Starting point is 01:05:47 It was supposedly after Grover Cleveland's daughter. But this was in the 1920s when Babe Ruth was at his height, and he asked to get paid for it. And they were like, well, it wasn't named after you. It was named after Grover Cleveland's daughter, and she had died 15 years earlier. Was her name Babe Ruth? Her name was Ruth, and it was Baby Ruth.
Starting point is 01:06:05 Yeah. Oh. So a lot of people think that they just said that. So did they give Grover Cleveland money? I don't know that he asked for it, but Babe Ruth asked for it. Yeah. Yeah. The 100 Grand Bar used to be called the 100,000 Grand Bar.
Starting point is 01:06:21 Underrated. Opie and Anthony did a promotion giveaway where they for weeks we're gonna give away a hundred grand and then they finally announced the winner and gave her a candy bar and she was not happy about it oh i can imagine yeah it's funny like now when you hear about it yeah that would be yeah very disappointing yeah that's uh the only candy bar that's mentioned yeah that would be maybe the most upsetting thing possible yeah you think you're getting a hundred grand and it's a candy bar and they all laugh at you and it's like that is devastating yeah why would you do that
Starting point is 01:06:58 did they give her anything else i think they just gave her a candy bar. Wow. Wow. That's devastating. As a poor person, that hurts me. Yeah. Yeah. I'd be very excited. The 100 grand bar is the only one mentioned on Seinfeld and The Office. When George is trying to get the Twix. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:19 They talked about, you're sure it wasn't a 100 grand bar? And then on The Office, the business school, Michael Scott. Yeah. That's one of the ones he threw out, $100,000. I had a Whatchamacallit this weekend because my buddy Rich, they said it's his favorite. And you mentioned last week or two weeks ago the Thingamajig and the What's a Hoosie.
Starting point is 01:07:36 Michael mentions those on that episode, business school. That was 2007. And then 2009 is when Thingamajig came out. So I assume they made those after him probably yeah i uh what you might call it was it's like a feels like a little rice crispy ish got a lot going on got a lot going on yeah yeah well i mean it was definitely not bad i don't see how it's your you know it's his favorite I don't see how it's someone's favorite. Yeah. It's a lot going on.
Starting point is 01:08:07 Yeah, it feels like something that somebody buys you. It seems like when everybody goes, I'm going to go buy some candy. Y'all want some? And everybody's like, yeah, just whatever. And somebody goes, I'll take a whatchamacallit. You're like, well, now I've got to leave the theater. So, I mean. I'll be back in an hour.
Starting point is 01:08:22 He goes, all right, I guess I'll just see the movie tomorrow as I go on this journey and try to find a whatchamacallit we went to the movies we saw Minions and saw Joe List's 4th of July movie too

Yeah. It's pretty great because they had a little package. I was like, man, because I would take those.
Starting point is 01:09:09 I've been sneaking in Skinny Pop. Skinny Pop's good. Yeah. I don't know what that is. It's 80 calories a bag, but it's like popcorn. So it's like, I'll bring in like that. And if you could bring in these little gummy things that are like 100 calories. Oh, I know Skinny Pop.
Starting point is 01:09:25 I'm good to go. Get a little diet cherry Dr. Pepper. Oh, that's very good. I love a cherry Coke at the movies. Yeah. That's the best. You know what I just got from the Dollar General? Dr. Pepper Zero Blue.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Wow. Never seen it before. It's a blue Dr. Pepper Zero. zero wow i think it's like jurassic park something but man it's it's a wild ride oh yeah yeah does it taste like dr like does it taste like a blue wow it tastes is it canned blue or is it is the liquid blue cans uh no it just looks like a regular dr pepper oh so it's like it tastes like regular dr it tastes like a regular Dr. Pepper. Oh, so it tastes like regular Dr. Pepper? It tastes like a regular Dr. Pepper, but a little bit of like a blue, it's called dark berry. It's got a little blueberry taste. It's got a little bit of a blueberry twist to it, and I'm a fan.
Starting point is 01:10:13 I haven't had the Dr. Pepper Zero yet. I look forward to it. It's good. It's a little bit thicker, richer than a Diet Dr. Pepper. Oh, okay. Have you had the Reese's Peanut Butter cup with the potato chip in it? No. Would you like to?
Starting point is 01:10:30 I don't know. I mean, that seems crazy. That's a thick cup. It's a big cup. When did they do this? The last few months. It's a new thing they're doing. What do these candy companies do when they're like,
Starting point is 01:10:42 listen, come on, get us. Is this the craziest one? I think they have one with pretzel also. Yeah, this seems, why Reese's with potato chips? They're like, listen, we got all these chips laying around. What's the potato chips? I wonder what the potato chips, I don't know. It looks like a Lay's.
Starting point is 01:11:00 Yeah. It was an accident at the factory. Yeah. Yeah, it seems like this could be good though. I like the way it's on a sandwich. I'm sure it is. You know. You try the other one, Aaron.
Starting point is 01:11:13 I'll just break off a piece because I don't want to eat the whole thing. That's a thick candy. Make sure you get some chips. It's going to be hard to break it off. These all melted up. You can hear the chip. Let's try a little bit here.
Starting point is 01:11:32 You want any of this, Brian? No. I thought the listener might want to hear the crunch. You know what I mean? It just seems unnecessary to me. Just three guys sitting around chewing gum. It tastes like what you would think. Yeah, that seems unnecessary to me.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Not a lot of surprises. Too hard. The chip's too hard. What's the point of a chip? It's fine. I could see how this would become a problem, though. Like, you would just be – I could definitely see how this would spiral out of control. Like, you would be like, I don't know, it's fine.
Starting point is 01:12:19 And then you would be like, the next thing you know, you've eaten ten of them. I think chewing into the microphone is what people are looking for. People were really dying for a candy episode. They were like, so I think they want to hear some crunch. Yeah, it seems, I'm not against it. I'm not against it, but it's exactly what you think. But you could also, if you're if you're like i don't spend the money didn't buy a bag of chips and reese's and didn't eat them together just put a chip on top
Starting point is 01:12:50 of it maybe that's why this got started because it let enough people did that because they wanted a little because they wanted a little crunch with them you said reese's was doing some bold things they are doing some bold things and i think it's paying off a third of the candy aisle is reese's stuff now yeah i want to think that you gotta you do the peanut butter then you do the chip and then chocolate right over it i feel like this is crumpled up chip in there it is crumpled up yeah but that's not misleading because that's how it's depicted on the packaging yeah i'm just saying i think they should that's how they should I'm just saying you're disappointed for no reason. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:29 I mean, I feel very cheated. Yeah. Have you seen, you know, some people pour M&Ms in their popcorn at the movies? I've seen people do that. I don't know. I think I've tried. I don't like that. I haven't done that mix. Hot tamales, too?
Starting point is 01:13:42 People like to do that with popcorn. I don't do that with popcorn. And popcorn, I think, I'm happy on its own. You're making a trail mix at a certain point. Yeah. I want it to be consistent. Yeah. Trail mix, they use real M&Ms in the trail mix?
Starting point is 01:13:54 I don't know if they're M&M brand, but they're supposed to be. Yeah. Wow. M&M, you think, has no one to do it? I did have some trail mix with the M on the M&M. Oh, you have? Yeah, just recently. But was it homemade or was it?
Starting point is 01:14:08 No, no, it was in a jar. Yeah. Like a bought jar. Printed it. It still sounds like homemade. I'll stop you when I don't think it sounds homemade. Keep going. It was a bought jar that you had to open and then there was plastic around it that popped.
Starting point is 01:14:21 He's like, no, no, there's no label to it. Yeah. I don't know. My wife brought it home. For all I like, no, no, there's no label to it. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. My wife brought it home. For all I know, she made it in the car. Sounds very homemade to me. You guys ever wonder what Eminem stood for? Never even thought about it. Mike and Molly.
Starting point is 01:14:37 Milk and Magnesia. No. Mars and Murray, the two guys who started it. Of course, Mars company still exists. Murray, I don't know what it. Of course, Mars company still exists. Murray, I don't know what happened to him. They pushed Murray right out. They probably got Murray out. Murray brought in the red food dye.
Starting point is 01:14:56 You guys big into suckers or lollipops? I'm big into them, man. I love them. I'm all about them, man. I like them. I'm all about them, man. I like a sucker. What's your favorite? That's a funny way to word it. I mean, it comes to mind.
Starting point is 01:15:11 I like Tootsie Roll a lot. Tootsie Pop. I've been on some Tootsie Roll. I like Blow Pop. What is Blow Pop? Blow Pop is great. Oh, yeah. I think Blow Pop's great.
Starting point is 01:15:22 Tootsie Pop is, yeah, solid. I think Tootsie Pop's where it's at. I don't like chocolate. I like the fruity ones. How how many licks does it take? Brian, do you have the answer? Oh, I had it two weeks ago. Three, according to the owl. It was like 400 and something, right?
Starting point is 01:15:33 Oh. Mm-hmm. Did you not? Did we talk about that on the podcast? No, but I had it on the notes from two weeks ago. Some students did a, like at a college, did a test where they had a lick machine. College really paying off. Yeah, there you go. It costs, you at a college, did a test where they had a lick machine. College really paying off.
Starting point is 01:15:47 Yeah, there you go. And. It cost, you're in debt, 400 grand for the rest of your life. It was something like 400 and something licks. From Notre Dame. Can you Google it? Yeah. It was like Purdue or something. I think it was where your brother went.
Starting point is 01:15:57 Oh, yeah. And I may be wrong, but they did the test and. That's a weird Google. They built a machine. 364, an average of 364 licks. All right. Well, several universities did this. This is one of the bigger questions.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Yeah. One, two, four universities did it. Mm-hmm. Michigan did it. And a junior high school. There you go. Can you imagine you're still paying off your student debt, and you're like, well, who else did it?
Starting point is 01:16:33 Some junior high school for free. Swarthmore Junior High School. How many licks did they determine? 144. Well, they used human liquors. They used just the kids. They just put the kids to work. 144 licks. Oh, so the university, they didn't use human liquors? Well used just the kids. They just put the kids to work. 144 licks.
Starting point is 01:16:45 Oh, so the university, they didn't use human liquors? Well, that was the whole point. These universities built machines. A licking machine. That were modeled after a human tongue. I mean, so, and that's so ridiculous. What's ridiculous about it? Well, because, so the kids do the real thing, and it's less than half.
Starting point is 01:17:03 Yeah. That's right and so like then the the other ones are just like crazy uh the numbers are really high right well the machine could probably standardize the lick in a way where it's consistent where i don't trust these kids i mean i bet they're coming in hard one lick but that's who's eating it but that's who's yeah it's but that's not the question the question is how many licks but how but who's licking it human just a standard human being average lick a standard human being lick i trust the machine more than i trust a bunch of junior high schools well of course i would say that too if i given people this money that you gave notre dame
Starting point is 01:17:41 and so yes yeah i would defend it hard, you know, to be like, no, this is why. But if you, but if my sixth grader, seventh grader comes home and says, we did it and had an awesome day because we got a lick. I mean, that's the most fun a kid could have.
Starting point is 01:17:59 It's a good day. I don't trust a licking machine. Isn't Harper about to go to junior high? I mean, close. She's getting close. She could be competing against a Purdue graduate student. The fact that they built a machine is, do you know, like, what is going on? There could be other applications for this technology.
Starting point is 01:18:21 That's the point of it. What would the other applications be? Applications for this technology. That's the point of it. What would the other applications be? I don't know if you need to learn how medicine is affected by licks. But apparently, you know, people are licking medicine out here. Yeah. But I don't know.
Starting point is 01:18:36 You're out of ideas in college. That's what I think. I got another one. You're out of ideas. You talk like I help do this. Well, you're a part of it. You're out. You have nothing to do.
Starting point is 01:18:44 You're just building helped do this. Well, you're a part of it. You're out. You have nothing to do. I'm part of them. You're just building licking machines. And some guy, and then he goes, what are we doing, dude? Like, we're. Yeah. She's trying to be an accountant. And you're. Here's another one. A group of scientists at MIT wanted to figure out if they could invent a machine that could
Starting point is 01:19:03 open an Oreo where it evenly distributed each side of the cream. And so they created an Oreo meter, a device designed to split the Oreo cookie with a specific amount of force where it would open it evenly on each side. They couldn't do it.
Starting point is 01:19:20 The machine failed. How's that cancer research coming? Yeah. That's what I was going to say. How's that? I get you want to have fun. I get that cancer research coming? Yeah. That's what I was going to say. How's that? I get you want to have fun. I get that there's some fun things. I get that you're great.
Starting point is 01:19:30 Like, everything can't be super serious. I understand that. Again, that could be a junior high fun thing, though. It should be a regular school, like, growing up fun thing. I don't know if it should be. When we're trying to prepare you for the world and you're like, you know, you spent two months trying to make a machine
Starting point is 01:19:50 that evenly... She said the scientists... I think you would have more odds of doing it. Maybe you get lucky and do it on your own. Yeah. How successful were they with this? They couldn't do it. The lead scientist said the results validated while I was a child.
Starting point is 01:20:07 We found no trick for opening up an Oreo. So really a lot of confidence in MIT then. Yeah. That was MIT? Yeah. That's the cream of the crop. Those are the best of the best. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Oh, man. An Oreometer, it was called. That's a fun name. Yeah. That was terrible. All right, you do it then with the other one. i'm good i'll just eat it i'll try to open it you might as well you know let's see yeah yeah that's about it yeah you guys didn't twist it at all though i feel like you should twist it twist a little bit well i think it's the fact that it's like it's whatever
Starting point is 01:20:42 the white stuff is is probably not you know it's like drywall yeah like it's it's the fact that it's like, whatever the white stuff is, it's probably not, you know, it's like drywall. Yeah. Like, it's not going to come, like, it's like anything. It's not going to come off evenly because it's, you could probably make it come off evenly when it's first made. But it's like, once it's, and it's been in a container forever. I don't know if I understand the benefit of pulling it off equally.
Starting point is 01:21:03 To waste money of the parents and the kids. That's the benefit of it. Because once you do it, you're like, I don't think, it's been in a package for too long. So it's just, it's too stuck together that you could never, you'd have to cut it with a knife. Yeah, a paint scraper, You could get right in there. I would almost just,
Starting point is 01:21:26 no one said that before they started this. A paint scraper? Well, they go, I think you'd have to cut it because it's just too packed so it's never going to do it. Like an exacto knife. No, let's do a,
Starting point is 01:21:36 let's build a machine for it. Oreo issued a statement saying, we want to extend a huge congratulations to these brilliant minds and applaud their dedication to our cookie twistingtwisting ritual. There you go. Wow.
Starting point is 01:21:46 Congrats. Imagine going home and your parents are paying for MIT and your dad's like, well, what have you learned? Well, we just built a machine to try to open Oreo cookies. It's an Oreometer. Yeah. Get it right, Dusty. What does it do? Does it teach them how to do, I guess, other stuff later? I think the machine. Oh, there it is right there. Yeah does it teach them how to do i guess other stuff later i think the
Starting point is 01:22:06 machine oh there it is right there yeah it was it was 3d printed so they had somebody had to design this i tell you what that's something i don't understand at all 3d printing i don't even i can't wrap my head around what it is what about it i picture a printing machine yeah and then it prints out like a real stuff a real thing i don't it doesn't make sense it is crazy yeah it's very crazy is it what like you could make this cup yeah you make and it would be a real cup so the machine has all the stuff in it to make a cup it's it's a little like wand or a needle with that type that plastic material and then it just draws it out based on the blueprint you give it yeah but so to make something you have to have the type of that plastic material and then it just draws it out based on the blueprint you give it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:46 But so to make something, you have to have the materials of that thing. Yeah. That's what comes out of the, yeah. The end of it. Yeah. That's the ink essentially. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:55 That plastic material that will make this bowl. Yeah. You make a bowl wood. You can make wood. Well, not wood. Okay. No,
Starting point is 01:23:02 it wouldn't be wood. So you can't make this bowl. You can make the shape of this bowl, but it wouldn't be made out of wood. wood. Okay. No, it wouldn't be wood. So you can't make this bowl? You can make the shape of this bowl, but it wouldn't be made out of wood, no. Okay. I mean, I said to make the bowl, and you said yeah. Alright. I wasn't sure what you meant. Could it be
Starting point is 01:23:17 a wood grain effect? Could you make this table? Wow. That's a very deep question. Yeah. Could you make like a kidney? Oh, that's, well, ultimately, they hope you are going to be able to make stuff like that you can make um like devices for your heart and stuff out of a 3d you can 3d print those and so people just standing at like in an office and they're just like i want a sandwich like this is the future yeah and they're gonna be like i'll take a burger and then they type it and it 3d prints a burger yeah and then
Starting point is 01:23:53 you just go eat you eat the paper and it tastes like a burger that's the future that's the future i hope that's the future i want to live in is Is the burger hot? I think it's hot when it's done, when it prints. Yeah, I think it is hot because it's that plastic. You got to eat it quick. Are people making stuff and you can buy a 3D printed thing? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:14 For sure. It's made of plastic? Yeah. Stuff to print out? Yeah. So it'd be hard to eat a burger. Yeah, it'd be hard to eat it. If you got it quick when it was still hot.
Starting point is 01:24:23 Yeah. What do you think of this? My old roommate had this idea. He used to always to eat it. If you got it quick when it was still hot. Yeah. What do you think of this? My old roommate had this idea. He used to always talk about it. You'd repurpose an old small fridge to a sandwich-making machine where you'd have different types of meat, bread, and then it would just come out at the bottom. You think there's any?
Starting point is 01:24:40 I think that's... So it's got to place it on its own. Yeah. You just push the buttons for what you want and it would like a vending machine like a vending machine for a sandwich yeah uh i mean that i i i think it'd be quicker to make the sandwich i think it would like i mean i could see like i think your setup would be just set up the stuff you would want like all the options and you open the refrigerator make any sandwich you want and then that would be
Starting point is 01:25:09 funner like it'd be you'd be like lay your bread down open that and then you're like oh there's any meats and you're like i like that that like it's subway what if you did i see your friends a vending machine where one step away from going like let's create a subway you know vending machine with one piece of bread on the top. So you select what you want, then it drops the first piece. And then as it goes down, then the meat falls. Then it goes down to the next condiment. Doesn't that sound fun?
Starting point is 01:25:34 Other piece of bread, pops it out. I like this idea. That sounds fun. I was not for it in the beginning. And now you're back. I am into it now. It's, yeah. I mean, it's not, I mean, I not i mean i don't know i just think yeah
Starting point is 01:25:47 it would be a lot of work just to be like we could also go to subway that's you're right he said it was mostly be for busy moms with lots of kids where you need to make them in mass quickly yeah now that's a that's an angle that is better that you're telling me that's the angle he should go with. I need to pump out nine sandwiches in a minute. Yeah, that's the angle that you should go with. Well, how many kids do you have that one of them is not old enough to just help with the sandwiches? You'd be surprised. When you can eat sandwiches, you're basically old enough to make sandwiches.
Starting point is 01:26:22 Yeah. That's a good point. I mean, the window's very small. Harper could make her own sandwich now. Right. Hmm. How long should she be eating sandwiches? You've got a tiny window where you're all hands on deck.
Starting point is 01:26:36 Yeah. But I think a lot of moms are still making their lunches for all their elementary school kids. I agree. I can understand the logic of it and like doing it but i think you're you know yeah i think if you just lay i mean i've not done this for nine kids but i think if you just lay out the bread and then go through with the meat then go through with the condiments then it's probably i'm not saying it's not hard you bring it a system yeah yeah yeah it's very annoying i
Starting point is 01:27:01 mean that's the stuff that's like like a mom has to do the same kind of thing. He hasn't been able to get funding for this yet. I'm not saying it's a slam dunk. Should contact MIT. Yeah, they got some time. Potentially Purdue. Licking lollipops. All right, I'm back to those lollipops.
Starting point is 01:27:19 Number one selling lollipop? Tootsie Pop. A dumb, dumb. The red one. It might be red. Ring Pop. Oh, I thought you meant like the Tootsie Roll,
Starting point is 01:27:32 like which color. Ring Pop is the number one seller? This is on Amazon, so I don't know if that's accurate. Mm-hmm. I got it. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:27:42 All right. So, I thought... I used to get into a Ring Pop, though. I forgot all about them. All right. Sorry. I thought... I used to get into a Ring Pop, though. I forgot all about them. Yeah. Yeah, what are you... I haven't even heard of these other candies.
Starting point is 01:27:52 I haven't either. You've heard of a Push Pop before, right? I don't know. Barely. Yeah, you got Rock Candy. I don't know if I trust this. Is that the one I sent you? Yeah, that's the one you sent me.
Starting point is 01:28:03 I would think Dum Dums. I've never heard of Yummers. I don't know what that is this. Is that the one I sent you? Yeah, that's the one you sent me. I would think Dum Dums. I've never heard of Yum Earth. I don't know what that is. Who's buying Dum Dums other than doctor's offices? Halloween people. Halloween people. I guess you're right. Yeah, that is true.
Starting point is 01:28:15 You don't... If you like having a candy, yeah, Banks. The Banks, yeah. I don't know why Banks give you candy. I never understood that. I appreciate it, but I never understood it. So you feel like you're walking away with something. If you didn't walk out of there with a dump without a dum-dum,
Starting point is 01:28:29 then you'd be like, well, I just gave them a bunch of money. It makes it enjoyable. Maybe. You know, the fact that you're going to get like a little treat, like you just have it. It's like, you know, and it's a long wait. And so then you got kids. So if your kids are in there, like a bank is the worst thing for a kid.
Starting point is 01:28:44 So then you're like, you want to get a sucker? And they're like, yeah. And then they go in there and they wait for the sucker. I feel like it's like a, that kind of thing. I also think when you're doing something like that, time, your perception of how slowly time is passing changes. Where if you want to make people feel there's a wait time at the bank, if you got a lollipop, you're not thinking about how long it's
Starting point is 01:29:06 taking but don't you get it at the teller's window good point brian but if you're a kid and you've been in there before you know what's up there you go up there and you could go and if it were something bigger if it were donuts then people would take a bunch of them yeah you couldn't make the donuts last you can never give out treats like that. People will take several. I feel like smaller, like mom and pop places might do something like that, but you got to get there early, and then they go have a donut. Yeah. Yeah, people will take – I used to give – at my job, I used to give away hats.
Starting point is 01:29:38 People would always be like, can I get another one for my cousin? And it's like, no, you can't. I'm giving away hats. And then they're mad and i'm like i just gave you a hat now you're unhappy with me because i didn't give you two yeah people like hats yeah they love hats yeah i love hats i like hats too it is funny like the people want them that bad let me get one more and you're like what does it matter i mean i'm talking about a spectracide. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, it's not like... It's not like the Yankees.
Starting point is 01:30:08 Yeah. It's nice to get free stuff. Yeah. People love it. And you do. You just get... Yeah, exactly like that. The black one.
Starting point is 01:30:18 The black one, yeah. That's not even that good of a hat. I know. I know, dude, but they were... Those are the hats that you wear, though. Yeah. Those are the ones that you're just throwing it on. It's a cut-in-the-yard hat.
Starting point is 01:30:28 Yeah. I mean, my dad worked for Aflac, and he had the little ducks that you could squeeze, and everybody would go, Aflac, Aflac, and people could not stop wanting those. Yeah. I believe that. I'd like that. It's the first time I ever heard someone work for Aflac. Oh, my dad worked for Aflac for like 20 years.
Starting point is 01:30:48 Oh, really? Yeah. Did he love it when Nick Saban started endorsing it? Oh, yeah. I mean, he's all about it. Yeah. I mean, he used to tell people that he did the voice of the duck. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:00 That was a big thing for him. Was it Gilbert Gottfried? Yeah. Originally. And then he got fired because he made some jokes about Japan. Yeah. And apparently Japan buys a lot of cancer insurance from Aflac. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:14 So they fired him. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. And then they hired your dad. Yeah. Yeah. You guys like gum?
Starting point is 01:31:21 Yeah. Oh, man. Gum's the best. I do like gum. I've been chewing gum a lot because it's not many calories. Number one selling chewing gum on Amazon, having heard of this, Pure, P-U-R? Oh. P-U-R.
Starting point is 01:31:35 Yeah, I think I have it. I have it. I think that's the gum I chew. It's like the mint. Oh, I've seen that Pure. I do the Mentos. Pure must uh current yeah i don't top seller on amazon yeah i don't know i don't know your listings yeah this is the real list well i think this is probably as good a metric as we have is what's on amazon but there's also going to be a
Starting point is 01:31:59 lot of gums that you're going to buy on amazon because they're not available in stores yeah what was i've never seen pure red at the gas station big red was the one where they had the commercials where people were making out all the time chewing the gum like you chew the gum and someone kisses you yeah it would work yeah that was the ax body spray of the gums yeah okay what was the one where bottom of that there was the one where... That's the bottom of that? There was the twins. Oh, the twins. Double mint. Oh, it was double mint?
Starting point is 01:32:28 Yeah. Smarties? You guys like Smarties? Mm-hmm. I love Smarties. That's what these are? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:38 But the small Smarties is what I liked. Yeah. These are giant Smarties. Those are fun. Yeah. Apparently, the red Smarties come from a being a beetle crushed beetles all right i don't think there's any red ones in there yeah vegetarians criticize the maker of smarties for using a greenery obtained from crushed beetles what how do you even get to the point where you would even think that you could have crushed beetles in a thing i don't know that's what
Starting point is 01:33:02 happened when the red food dye was causing cancer. They started crushing beetles. Well, it doesn't make sense. I would think that's not true. I can't even tell you which one's red. Yeah, I don't think any of those are red. Oh, I would think it's not true. I would not believe that.
Starting point is 01:33:19 I used to like the little Smarties. I would act like I was taking pills or vitamins. Oh, yeah. That's what I did as a kid. I did that with Toms. Yeah. That paid off. Cotton candy.
Starting point is 01:33:30 Yeah, it's like, yeah, you're training. You're in training. Yeah, he took that to the big leagues. You're eating Smarties and candy cigarettes, and you're like, this is my future. Yeah. Cotton candy was invented by a guy from Nashvilleashville oh yeah he called it fairy floss that didn't stick but he took it to the that's such a yeah you want to that the name that you're like you want to change the name at all like it doesn't sound good at all. He took it to the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair,
Starting point is 01:34:06 and he sold 68,000 boxes at $25 a box. Wow. And this is 1904. How much money is that? I don't know. It's a lot. There you go. What was it, 68,000 boxes?
Starting point is 01:34:17 Yeah, times 25. But yeah, later on they changed it. It was called Fairy Floss up until the 1920s, but then they changed it it was called fairy floss up until the 1920s but then they changed it to cotton candy
Starting point is 01:34:29 I had cotton candy this weekend it's 1.7 million I mean that's I mean the guy's basically a billionaire in 1904 yeah
Starting point is 01:34:36 and he was selling it as fairy floss back then too yeah and then he changed the name that seems it'd be hard for me
Starting point is 01:34:44 to change the name if I made 1.7 million at a fair. It took a while, but I think. Oh, okay. Not that one fair. No, no, no, no. Some controversial candies. I got one here.
Starting point is 01:34:58 Wait. What? I thought this, we were talking one fair. Oh, and then they go, I think you should change the name. He goes, I don't, I'm sitting on 1.7 million. I sold 68,000 of these. On untapped. Today.
Starting point is 01:35:12 No one knows I'm here. Cash. Cash, $1.7 million. He's got duffel bags of candy. And you want me to call it cotton candy? Sounds like you're trying to sabotage me. Dingleberries. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:35:29 I can't believe it. Chocolate-covered gummy bears. Chocolate-covered gummy bears. What's the design of that bag? There's a lot going on. Well, that's where you think it is. Oh, come on. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:44 I don't think so. This cannot be a selling point it is. Yeah. Oh, come on. Yeah. I don't think so. This cannot be a selling point for that. No. I think it hurt it. That's why you never heard of it. Yes. That's why they had to put it at the top, it's sugar. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:56 Because you were like, I don't know. It's sugar. All right. All right. I'll do it. Wow. I can't. I want a chocolate gummy bear.
Starting point is 01:36:04 I don't know what that's. I don't think I like that. Are you about to try it out? I guess so. You kind of have to. Chocolate-covered gummy bears. They seem like conflicting. Well, I'll try it too, even though the packaging says it shouldn't.
Starting point is 01:36:20 Yeah, I don't like the packaging at all. There was a candy called. These are controversial candies. I'm against this. M-A-O-A-M. Mayom? We've got to get another one. No, I'm against this.
Starting point is 01:36:33 You like it? I'm not a big fan of it either. I like gum beer too. So they created a character called Mayom Man. And on the packaging, he was enjoying himself a little bit too much with the lemons cherries strawberries and oranges and people complained about it but the company was like we're not changing it he's a lovable character and people young and old like it but some people are like he's enjoying that orange a little too much. It is.
Starting point is 01:37:05 It's this green guy, this kind of amorphous blob of a guy, and he's loving on these fruit. I don't think I think too much about it. You know, the dingleberry, the more I ate that, the better it got. Well, because once you got the chocolate on it. As most do. It's the chocolate that is not good, and you want to get to the, and then you get to the gummy bear. Once you get the chocolate off, and then you get to the gummy bear. Once you get the chocolate off and then you get to the gummy bear, you're like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:27 I think so. You're like, I could eat another one. But you would have to get – you have to get through that chocolate. Yeah. But, yeah, going into that, I was like not liking it, but it got really good. And I was even looking at mailman as I was eating it. This dingleberry is like, that's what would sell
Starting point is 01:37:46 like a comedy act on the road would have like a great t-shirt. All right. Like this is like an exact thing that you'd be like, this dude has made, no one knows who he is, but his shirts are everywhere.
Starting point is 01:38:00 Oh yeah. And like this guy is just like, he's making like 10 grand a night just selling, you know, he's got a joke about the cranberries, and he goes, I made the candy. It's the shirt where it looks like it says nothing, and then you fold it up, and it says something. Yeah. It's that shirt.
Starting point is 01:38:19 Yeah. Or people on the road in small towns can't help but buy that shirt. Oh, yeah. They love it. They love that shirt small towns can't help but buy that shirt. Oh, yeah. They love it. They love that. They love it. They love that shirt. They love it so much.
Starting point is 01:38:30 And, yeah, I mean, but you go see an act. I mean, this would be – this does feel like a comic would sell this at the end of the – Oh, yeah. I got dingleberries. And it would just be – It's a line out the door. A line out the door. I mean, a comic could sell these now because these, no one's ever heard of these.
Starting point is 01:38:45 So a comic could just go buy a bunch of them. You bought those at the loony bin, right? Yeah. But like, how much,
Starting point is 01:38:53 where'd you have to get these off Amazon? No, I got it at that place at Opry Mills. It's called It's Sugar. Oh, and so like,
Starting point is 01:39:00 if you just went and got a bunch of these and then just said and sold them for, how much were they? Like, I don't know. Five dollars? Bought a bunch of these and then just said and sold them for how much were they? I don't know. Five dollars? Bought a bunch of stuff together.
Starting point is 01:39:07 Wow, that's pretty nice. I paid with change. But it's like the bag's like $4. You just charge $15. Oh, yeah. And then you just do a joke about Dingleberry. Yeah, and then people have it at their house and they're like, oh, I got it from a comic. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:24 I bought this Big League Chew, too. Y'all talked about that last time. I love it. I love Big League Chew. Yeah. and then people have it at their house, and they're like, oh, I got it from a comic. Yeah. I bought this Big League Chew, too. Y'all talked about that last time. I love it. I love Big League Chew. Yeah. They even had candy cigarettes there. Oh, wow. I should have practiced on that before the cigar.
Starting point is 01:39:32 Yeah. First serving. Yeah, I mean, you got to practice before you jump right into. Pop Rocks. You guys a big Pop Rocks fan? I think I got one of those in there. Yeah, it happens in Urban Legend. They talk about Pop Rocks.
Starting point is 01:39:45 About the Coke? Yeah. What kind of show is this? It's a movie. Okay. And does it happen in the movie? Pacey from Dawson Creek's in it. Which guy?
Starting point is 01:39:53 Pacey. I saw Tara Reid was in it. That's exciting. I love Dawson. Yeah, Dawson Creek. That was my... I loved it. I watched every episode.
Starting point is 01:40:03 That was my years. That was your Dallas to Brian that was yeah but we watched it it was Dawson's Creek was made for like
Starting point is 01:40:11 kids in high school like so I graduated in 96 like it was like Dawson Creek was what's that dude's name James Vanderbeek yeah
Starting point is 01:40:18 he was like the man yeah yeah I just looked I follow him on Instagram he has six kids oh good for him yeah and then oh sorry 90210 was big Yeah, I just looked at it. I followed him on Instagram. He has six kids. Oh, good for him. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:26 And then... Oh, sorry. 90210 was big when Ruth was in high school. That was her. And we just found out Jason Priestley moved into our neighborhood. So she's very excited about that. Oh, wow. She loved Jason Priestley. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:39 Yeah, that's cool. We have squirrel problems. Yeah. You want to go to his house and tell him? No, I don't want him to leave. That's cool. They, uh, uh, we have squirrel problems. Yeah. Tell him. No, I didn't. I don't want him to run.
Starting point is 01:40:49 I don't want to leave. So, but they, uh, yeah. Dawson's Creek was what did like one tree Hill. Did you watch one tree Hill or something? What's the other,
Starting point is 01:40:58 did you watch a show like that? Saved by the bell. Yeah. We watched it. That was when I was younger. Yeah. And then, uh, Dawson Creek was like,
Starting point is 01:41:04 you're kind of soap operate. Oh yeah. You didn't have a younger. Yeah. And then Dawson Creek was like your kind of soap opera. Oh, yeah. You didn't have a show? We had a bunch of those kind of shows. You can't name one? Below Deck? It was like The O.C., Laguna Beach, all that kind of stuff. Yeah, I guess it became more reality.
Starting point is 01:41:19 I never watched One Tree Hill, but that was- Oh, I didn't know those were reality shows. They're not. I mean, the ones I just named. No, see, is it not a reality show? I don't know. Laguna Beach? I don't know. It is a reality show. I think they're the first reality show. How old were you when you started West Wing?
Starting point is 01:41:36 Seven. I'd watch it. My dad would watch it when I was younger, but I didn't really get into it until after college. Did you wear a suit when you watched it? when I was younger, but I didn't really get into it until after college. Did you wear a suit when you watched it? Did you bring a briefcase of candy to the couch and sit down?
Starting point is 01:41:54 I mean, that's what we just wore around the house. That's what you wore the suits on. Well, there was an urban legend that Pop Rocks with Coke would make your stomach explode. The rumor was that the kid who played Mikey from the Life Serial commercial died from consuming Pop Rocks and Coca-Cola. And the very first episode of Mythbusters, they tested it on a pig,
Starting point is 01:42:14 and the pig's stomach did not explode, but did grow three times in size. So still pretty bad. The pig did or his stomach did? Why didn't they do it? Because they try to make it legit like let's see if this is real
Starting point is 01:42:28 and they're not gonna do it to themselves if if somehow you think it might really make your stomach explode the pig grew three times
Starting point is 01:42:34 in size or its stomach its stomach oh I like yeah well I like the idea that
Starting point is 01:42:40 well that seems like yeah because you got bigger issues. Hey, pal. Hey, bear. Good night. Oh, Henry.
Starting point is 01:42:55 Oh, Henry. Wow. So, are you talking up to him now? Yeah. Yeah. All right. I like the idea that even Mythbusters is doing Yeah. Yeah. That, all right. I like the idea that even Mythbusters is like doing it. They're like, we don't do it to ourselves.
Starting point is 01:43:09 And you're like, well, I think we would know. I mean, the fact that they, if this was true, they're just allowing Pop Rocks and sodas to still exist. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of kids would have died. I'm sure I ate Pop Rocks and soda at the same time. Oh, yeah. I don't know that's the reason why they did the pig,
Starting point is 01:43:27 but I'm guessing that's the point of like, if this is a legit thing we're going to try to figure out, we wouldn't do it to ourselves. But it seems not good. If the stomach grew three times in size, that feels like an explosion. I think it gives you a lot of gas, supposedly. Yeah, it feels like gas.
Starting point is 01:43:40 Oh, then it goes back to normal. Yeah. Oh. It doesn't matter. It's worth it. Yeah. I bet if you go,. It's worth it. Yeah. I bet if you go, how much does it grow normally? And they'd be like, one time, two times.
Starting point is 01:43:49 You'd be like, that's why it's not that big of a deal. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Like everything. What if you ate it every day? Okay. I don't trust Mythbusters.
Starting point is 01:43:59 Yeah. They're always like, oh, we busted it. And it's like, well, did you though? You didn't do it on a human. You did it on a pig. It's a great idea for a show though it is a good idea my grandfather was a physicist and we were watching was he he's a physics professor in college my grandfather what did y'all we were watching so how did y'all get around in just alabama were y'all just like mortified every day you walked
Starting point is 01:44:23 out oh we loved it would they be chirping at you and you're like I don't even know and you'd have to go talk to them the regular folk regular folk yeah you're just like Doc Hollywood your whole family he was watching Mythbusters once and he saw they did an equation wrong
Starting point is 01:44:40 they did the math wrong on something and he wrote in so I'm saying I don't trust him either. I don't trust him. Because he was watching. He's like, they're not even doing this right. Yeah. Did they respond?
Starting point is 01:44:49 No. Oh. Nah. They finally stopped the show, right? They ran out of mist. Hopefully, dude. They're like Bill Nye. I think so.
Starting point is 01:44:56 Bill Nye is the science guy. I don't like Bill Nye. He's just an improviser. I don't like him either. Yeah. I did a show with him. Did you really? Like South by the Sea. He was on the show. Maybe he hosted
Starting point is 01:45:08 it or something. Okay. Nice guy? Yeah, I mean, I barely. It was like, yeah. Comedy show. It's like all that stuff where it's like they're entertainers. Yeah, he's like a comedian. Yeah, yeah. It's like whatever they have is like
Starting point is 01:45:24 yeah. It is funny because it's like whatever they have is like yeah it is funny because it's like he's not a scientist at all right now and it is funny that they have bill not a scientist like they and they go to him like real science oh yeah they ask him like what do you think it's like yeah he's not oh and people believe him they think that oh bill nye's said it yeah yeah so let's go to the moon let's go to the moon i guess we've already been to the moon bill nye said it i guess he was there So let's go to the moon. Let's go to the moon. I guess we've already been to the moon. Bill Nye said it. I guess he was there.
Starting point is 01:45:58 A few months back, a photo of a smooth Snickers bar went viral online because people thought that Snickers was doing away with the wavy lines. There it is right there. Oh, wow. Someone posted that, and people got outraged that Snickers was doing away with the wavy lines. There it is right there. Oh, wow. Someone posted that, and people got outraged that Snickers was changing. Snickers finally had to issue a statement saying, we're not changing. That's either a manufacturer problem or that candy bar melted in your car. Yeah, that's what it was.
Starting point is 01:46:17 You know what it was? I'm saying that's the most likely. Yeah. It's most likely. It's the guy that's probably had that happen. Is that your hand yeah that was in your classic classic that was in your emergency parking under a tree you go in to waffle house you're there a little longer than you expect i've seen it have i seen it once it's seen it 20 times just that was this emergency pack? Yeah, that's just a mercy pack.
Starting point is 01:46:45 Yeah, I guess you break down or something. You got smooth stinkers in there. I'm saying the way these candy bars are produced, it's a lot easier for me to believe that one melted in a car than there was one missed the chocolate drizzle on the conveyor belt in the factory. I think I would see that more than I would see. That's too smooth for melted. Well.
Starting point is 01:47:09 Melted, that's way too smooth. I would say that missed the whole thing. Or I don't trust the person that did this. I don't trust the guy with that keyboard, really, there. Look at that thing. Yeah, that's not a keyboard of somebody that you trust. Yeah, how do you get used to that keyboard? It's like an ergonomic keyboard that's split in half where it's kind of raised in the middle with a lot of wrist pad in the front of it it doesn't
Starting point is 01:47:31 look like this yeah i don't like the keyboard like that i think he smoothed that snickers bar out at home i think he licked it yeah he looked at that smooth because if it melted that wrapper seemed like it would be had chocolate on it well i think it's actually a great point in corporate america getting some work done all these people go to college and they go smooth the snickers out yeah they get paid seven hundred thousand dollars a day probably went to purdue so let's build a candy melting machine and try to verify yes yeah i'll end on this they this never happened but they found... There you go. I mean,
Starting point is 01:48:07 who starts with V-neck? Well, I wanted to set it up. I didn't want to get you guys... I made this up completely. Unicorns flew to my house this weekend, and all right, well,
Starting point is 01:48:15 I guess... I didn't want to get you guys excited and say whatever happened, but they found reports and papers after World War II that Nazis
Starting point is 01:48:24 were creating a candy bar that they were going to try to get to Winston Churchill, say what never happened but they found reports and papers after world war ii that nazis were creating a candy bar that they were going to try to get to winston churchill and once you break it open after seven seconds it explodes to kill him but why so when you're doing a podcast on comedy why would you not present that as real because i mean, it really, the papers are real. I'm just saying that it never got to him. It never. They made the candy bar. They drew up the plans for it.
Starting point is 01:48:53 Okay. They never tried to slip it to him. It didn't get caught. These were just blueprints, plans, a way they were going to assassinate him. And you thought we would believe? I think if I just said, the Nazis created this candy bar,
Starting point is 01:49:06 you were like, well, what happened? Did it get to? No, they never even got that far. So I just wanted you guys to know. It sounds like a bad plan, though, too. It's like you get it to, you're like,
Starting point is 01:49:14 here, I got you a candy bar, Winston Churchill, and he's like, oh, I never heard of this one. Wow. And they're like, well, no, eat it. A German chocolate. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:49:22 What's it called, Kaboom? Yeah. Yeah, it's like a mix of a Snickers and a Kit Kat. Eat it. I'm going to leave the room though. Maybe you shouldn't have ended on that one. No.
Starting point is 01:49:36 We can keep going. If I saw this guy, I feel like I could get to him through a candy bar. He was a big boy. What if he takes a candy bar? He's not going to through a candy bar he was a big boy you go what if he takes a candy they go he's not gonna take candy bar you guys you see winston he goes he'll ask for it he goes here's how confident i am winston churchill gonna take candy bar i don't think we even have to try to give it to him i think you go eat a candy bar in front of him and then the
Starting point is 01:50:02 whole time he will only be thinking about where did you get that candy bar? You always feel when you eat gum you got to offer it. Oh, you got to. On a plane? I started doing that. To strangers? Yeah, I pulled a gum out
Starting point is 01:50:15 and I gave you guys one piece of gum. Any time they say no I feel like they appreciate it. Yeah. I hope so. You wake them up? Yeah. Hey!
Starting point is 01:50:22 What's that? Over there. I hold it up to their mouth. You got to just under their mouth. You got to just. Under their nose. You got unwrapped gum in the palm of your hand. I don't know if you can meet your girl after this fight. If you want some gum.
Starting point is 01:50:36 We've been on a war up here. But I think people assume if you offer them gum, they think, oh, is my breath bad? It's like, no, I'm just trying to be. Then you got to talk to them the whole flight after you give them the gum. Well, you don't offer it early. I shut it down pretty quickly. Yeah, because you don't want to chew gum early on a flight because then what are you going to do with it?
Starting point is 01:50:50 Yeah. I always think then you're going to get tired of it. I put it in the bag you're supposed to hyperventilate it. That's gross. And then you take the bag. And then I wrap the bag up and I throw it in the trash. I have a weird thing about it. I'm not good with wrapping.
Starting point is 01:51:02 I need gum to be gone. So you waste it. I can't have it wrapped up. I can't have it wrapped up. I can't have it be sitting. I just stick it on the back of the seat until the gum. I see people, they get gum, and then they put it on their plate while they eat. And I'm like, I almost want to leave the table. I can't handle it.
Starting point is 01:51:18 It's not good. So you waste the whole throw-up bag for just a little piece of gum? If I need to. A lot of the times I can make it last until a drink is brought out, and then that usually comes with a napkin. But do you make it seem like you put it in a napkin too? You don't like putting it in a napkin? I couldn't do it.
Starting point is 01:51:34 What, do you just walk around with a trash can at all times? Well, I won't put myself in the situation until I know I can get to a trash can. You've got to think about chewing gum that much. Am I going to be around a trash can? That much. That's crazy. This is what I want you to do. This looks like to be around a trash can? That much. That's crazy. This is what I want you to do. This looks like I just went off on the candy.
Starting point is 01:51:48 I don't love this. This looks like I just went off on the candy. Well, I don't love that this stuff is all laying. Okay. But I mean, I've dealt with it because I'm a professional. Okay. But it's- You've been worried about it.
Starting point is 01:51:58 Yeah, I don't care for it. I've looked at this about 100 times. I don't like it either, to be honest with you. I can handle this bag. This is the grossest. I can make it look like it's closed and it's back to really put together in place. I'm fine with. But when it's just a crazy mess.
Starting point is 01:52:12 But I won't have gum unless I know I'm going to be able to get it. I won't have something. Can I get rid of the trash? I won't have anything unless I know I can get rid of the trash. So if you were flying and y'all hit turbulence and the oxygen mask fell, would you just take the gum and stick it in there? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:29 Like if you wanted to get rid of it? I thought we just saved you from ending badly. That's fair. Oh, good. A good place for my gum. That's fair. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:44 That's it. All right. We love you, everybody. Thank good place for my gum. That's fair. Yeah. That's it. All right. We love you, everybody.
