Starting point is 00:02:40 Get clean with Athletic Greens. Yeah. Yeah. That's what they should say. It is. Welcome, everybody. Glad to have you. We had an awesome week.

Starting point is 00:02:51 We got Justin Smith here. We said fill in for Aaron. Justin has a special out. Yeah. Coronation. Yeah. Out on YouTube right now. It's doing so good, too.

Starting point is 00:03:00 It's awesome. It's doing great on all the social media things. Clips are doing good. People are finding me. And it's like the first week and a half we've had it out. It's awesome. It's great on all the social media things. Clips are doing good. People are finding me. And it's like the first week and a half we've had it out. It's been great. That's awesome, dude. I watch it.

Starting point is 00:03:11 A lot happens in this special. Oh, so much, dude. It's crazy. Some power outages, some hecklers. I mean, the first time, like literally, I mean, I'm doing this whole thing. I'm so nervous because I'm kind of doing it all by myself. And you're like, all right, I built a set and all this stuff. And the first show, like I'd just gotten off the phone.

Starting point is 00:03:29 Literally, I'd just gotten off the phone with you. And you're like, hey, man, you're going to crush it. And I walk on stage. And within two minutes, the lights go completely out on my thing. Because the light guy just hits the button. And it goes dark. And it messed with the lights so much that uh never get a good light guy out i mean never we can't you can't do it which is it's so it's just so funny the lighting guy was

Starting point is 00:03:51 uh uh a comic also oh really yeah he opens for mark norman his name is corbin lemaster yeah but he's like uh he goes dude i'm so sorry i'm so sorry but they when they turn the lights back on they uh um they it was like a red like there was a red thing that like we had set the lights before and the shade was different yeah and so we had to use that show like there was no cutting and editing yeah it was like all right well because it looks so different yeah but it turned out i thought it looks great yeah that makes it fun that's what makes it, you know. It's the only part I remember. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:04:27 Yeah. The only thing. Sounds like an Undertaker versus Kane match. I mean, it really was. Let's go out, red tent. Yeah. But it was so much fun. And then we had that guy. I talk about Garth Brooks in the special,

Starting point is 00:04:42 and I talk about his lyrics and how people can finish his lyrics and I do a line and then I do another line and then this has never happened before but a guy when it's so quiet yells out the next lyric to the song and it was just so perfect. Everything about it was like it was so

Starting point is 00:04:59 it was not what you would want but it was so perfect for me. That's what I think makes it feel so special is that it's so like oh this is this is this is like my this specials my whole career where it's like nothing is gone as planned but it feels like it's perfect for me and that's like that's that's how i got where i am yeah and so i'm i'm very proud of it yeah that's great and if you you know we're proud of, Oh, thanks. Go to go, go check it out. It's coronation on YouTube. I've posted it. Uh,

Starting point is 00:05:28 we're in a land. We're posted. We probably, I think we did post it. We're posted again now. Uh, so they can see it. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:05:34 You're the reason that that's the title because we were, we were in, uh, he doesn't know what coronation means. So yeah, thank you. I thought it was Corona nation. Yeah. That's, I don't know what it means now oh so coronation is the still not no is the ceremony when uh when a prince or a princess becomes a

Starting point is 00:05:55 king or queen oh and so the reason i loved it because we talked about we were in uh our detroit somewhere and i was sitting in a chair and it was like this weird kind of like king like chair in a green room and nate goes it looks like you belong in that chair and i think he was just talking about how white it was but i took it way more way deeper i say a lot of things but nate he took my phone and he took a picture of it and it just got me thinking about what like when a what a coronation is because it's the moment that who you were destined to become like becomes like it's the moment that that destiny and reality meet yeah and so I was like this is it's kind of perfect that this special turned out the way that it did because the whole

Starting point is 00:06:43 thing is is me kind of becoming who I was supposed to be and the special is clean like before this i was not a clean comic i wasn't doing all this you know i wasn't doing what i'm doing now and this is kind of like a changing my style and doing a bunch of stuff and still being me very much and and now you're the king of comedy and now i'm the king of comedy that's right i just got to get that crown but it's in the mail you know how ebay is yeah so the chair was great yeah so great yeah yeah i mean it did fit i think the like if we have to do a studio update i think that's the yeah the next chair yeah sitting it uh also i wanted to show you guys uh we had uh nick rochelle eli and zoe cordell. They made this.

Starting point is 00:07:25 Eli and Zoe. Eli was the one that he could name all the episodes. You told me the episodes. That's so great. They made a Nate Land podcast from A to Z. I believe they're on the Facebook group. Yeah, they are on it. Yeah, they're everywhere.

Starting point is 00:07:45 It starts with A is for Aaron, the host of Aaron Land that airs during Nate Land. The answer to a question that's never been asked. According to this, the best place to meet your spouse in the aughts was Applebee's. And so like all stuff like that, it's just so cool. And like I was just like reading through it. It's just, J is for Justin Smith. I made the list. Fellow comedian and guest.

He did catch it. He goes, well, I guess you're here. But it was very funny.

Starting point is 00:12:31 I was like, yeah, you know, just trying to bounce around. I feel like there's a bunch of added pressure. When you meet somebody that's a comic, there's a moment of panic. I got to be funny now. It's like, no, no, no. I'm not at work. You can just be a normal person. we were doing so good before this yeah i yeah i uh i want them to be

Starting point is 00:14:33 Yeah. Well, I will say you always do good. I love when I watch your shows from the side stage. You always do well with people that work in those auditoriums that don't know you. And you can tell they're not you can tell they're like usually they're like theater people or they're like music people and a lot of times they don't like the worlds don't vibe with comedy yeah and but i always love watching people that would not typically be a fan of yours and i watch you win

Starting point is 00:15:00 them over and that's like my favorite thing where a i watched a dude in memphis like he was in a chair and you did a joke i forget what joke it was but he just turned he just turned and he looked through the like the top of his eyebrows at the guy next to him and he goes man this dude's funny yeah and it was just it was such like a genuine like moment and i was like to watch you like win people over that wouldn't ever like like the algorithm, like your stuff wouldn't find them. We win the people that are forced to be there. Yeah. Like they're, you know, those are the, it is fun to make.

Starting point is 00:15:33 It's a relief for them because they're like, I got to be here either way. Yeah, yeah. So good thing this seems fun. At least it's enjoying. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that kid was very, he's straightened his life up.

Starting point is 00:15:44 And so we were told how great that was and stuff. But it was funny that he was like he's he's straightened his life up and so we were told him how great that was and stuff but it was funny that he was like yeah just do it and those guys were when i we laughed they're like great job like they were cool do you think if dusty was with you when you left they'd be like no you stay here you're with us well that yeah they're like yeah when you get done you come help change some light bulbs here i I would have introduced you to their success story. Yes. I broke some bonds. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:16:08 Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, fun weekend. Did you all have it? I was in – yeah, I was with you. And that's why – the Ron Baran Center is so big. I drove down separately, got there, thought plenty of time, went in the back door.

Starting point is 00:16:24 Tony, this guy, said, yeah, we're just coming in. And couldn't find anybody. I thought, I'll just stand on stage so they don't know. I don't stage quite a while. And then all these women keep coming in. And I finally asked, like, what is this? And they're like, this is the sound of music. I was on the wrong stage for quite a while,

Starting point is 00:16:44 just loading it as they load in for the Sound of Music so I'm glad I asked or I could have been in the production I mean that's Bates that's a Bates show right there it's like halfway through before I realize I'm out there singing a solo you go up

Starting point is 00:16:59 just standing on this stage of Sound of Music I mean how do you even get into it how do you even get into it? How do you even? I didn't know they had another theater. Well, they do. People are like, what are you doing here? You're like, I'm performing tonight. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:11 And they're like, okay. Who are you playing in Sound of Music? I don't know. One of the Von Trapp? What is it? Yeah, one of the boys. Von Trapp? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:22 Von Trapp and the Von Braun Center. They're doing like a future episode where they have the kids come play be adults grandfathers you're the you're one of the twins

Starting point is 00:17:32 yeah but as an old age yeah the other twin didn't make it it's like oh we went through some tough times you know what's so funny

Starting point is 00:17:40 is you were talking about that and you guys kept saying this and I realized that I was confusing Fiddler on the Roof with The Sound of Music and i was like i don't think that's how it yeah when do they start doing like i was i was lost when you guys were doing that whole thing and i was like i'm just bates walked in and he was standing on top of a roof crooked and he goes well this is not comfortable i don't and i don't need a fiddle out here yeah i think his name must

Starting point is 00:18:04 be doing a one-man show type of thing. It's got a big production. What is this, John Crist? He just keeps adding trailers. I mean, it's crazy. Look at this green room. There's so many snacks. How many people are on this show? Oh, and I was with Henry Cho

Starting point is 00:18:20 Friday night in Ringgold, Georgia, and he takes questions from the audience, and someone asked, when are you going to be on Nate Land again? Yeah, that's great. Yeah. And then he did a VIP afterwards, meet and greet, and the guy wore a Batesville t-shirt

Starting point is 00:18:34 with my face on it. That's funny. Did you sign it? No, but I made sure I pointed it out to Henry. You gave me a sign and he goes no that's good i was wearing ironically yeah where were you at uh i was here this weekend i went and saw marin on saturday oh yeah um and and andrew stanley yeah uh opened for him him Andrew's a good commenter from

Starting point is 00:19:05 Atlanta but it's like I was like I was so excited because I was like I don't because Marin's

Starting point is 00:19:11 getting older so you don't know how long you're going to get to see him not that old I mean it's just

Starting point is 00:19:16 he's 58 but it's still like he's 80 I mean it's can I tell you what it is I think it's just the fact

Starting point is 00:19:24 Rickles I think it's just the fact thatickles i think it's just the fact that i i follow him on instagram and i watched some of the things that he posts and i'm just like like the way that he's posting now you're like oh this is a guy that maybe doesn't quite understand like so like the social media that he's posting you know how just like it just feels older than like like i think that's why i feel like that so So I was like, I gotta get, I gotta, like, you want to see them like when they're still like, it's, you know, when they're still like producing. Yeah. But I, yeah, I think he still is. Yeah. He absolutely was. He blew me away for two hours. It's a, but I do understand that like posting the videos, like you can,

Starting point is 00:20:00 you gotta, you gotta be able to catch yourself to be an age to go like, all right, I need to probably not post. Cause it can, you can really show your age catch yourself to be an age to go like, all right, I need to probably not post. Because you can really show your age. Right. That is true. I'm not saying he's doing that. I think he just does it and it's him. Right.

Starting point is 00:20:14 But that is very true. Because you can just post. I always joke about you posting your camera. But you do. But that was like a mini joke. When I said you'd always have it too close to you yeah you have it like here and it's like you're because but if someone gets too old it's like yeah you got to catch so if you you know if you're like i don't want everybody you know you're like

Starting point is 00:20:35 i don't want it to really look like hey i don't know what i'm doing right because because people are posting there's ways that they do it now and so i i'd imagine, I guess, you know, I don't know. I mean, people pick out outfits just to be on social media now. Like, it's like crazy. Where it's like, and I've even noticed, like, there are certain videos where if I wear something, like, ridiculous, it's like the video. Like, I can feel that people don't respond as well. Yeah. I can see you watching, checking what I'm wearing now.

Starting point is 00:21:05 You're like, well, that's what you chose to wear today? That's great. I would, and all the kids listen, remember social media is not real. Always just remember that. You see all these people post this stuff. These people have all these, it seems like everything, they show you, Dove Davidoff, one of the jokes, he gives like this social media, he said it shows a moment of time.

Starting point is 00:21:26 Like it's a moment. It's not your life. It's not. It's just like a second of that day. Like, you know, and you hope kids remember that. Sometimes if I have my wife film something for me or something, we'll end up fighting about it. And then like, and then it'll go. She'll go, all right, all right, all right.

Starting point is 00:21:42 Just do it. Just do it. And then it records. And I'm like, all right, we're having a good time. But like two seconds ago, we were mid-fight. And now I'm like, I can't even do it now. I can't fake happiness. So.

Starting point is 00:21:55 I wish you would leave there. Fine, just do it. And you go, hey, we're having a good time. That's one that I would catch is to like not say, all right, go. Like that's a big one. I think if you film something, it's like just nod, don't, because there's a lot of like, all right, go. Hey, what's up, everybody?

Starting point is 00:22:14 You know, like the person's, it's like just point. Right. It like adds to it. Yeah. Well, it's like in television, they don't, if they count you down, it's usually five, four, three, and then they point. They don't say two, one, so you don't get caught doing it. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:32 Two, one. I think now the hard part is if you film anything out in public, you just have people watching you do things. When I film stuff in my apartment, I literally have a dog park that's like next to my apartment. So literally one of the times I was doing a thing for Halloween, I was filming like a different people that pass out candy. And each time I would open the door and like a different outfit, I just had a row of dogs just watching me do this with all the people. Like, so all these people are just trying to take their dogs out

Starting point is 00:23:05 and smoking cigarettes, and they're watching me come to the door in ridiculous outfits. And I'm just like, this is so stupid. Why am I doing this whole thing? And then when it's all done, you're like, oh, I guess that was okay. Whenever I'm filming myself in public doing something, and then I see an older couple, I want to be like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry this is happening.

Starting point is 00:23:25 I'm sorry that the world has changed in this way. I make fun of people like me too. Yeah, I always would want to. Yeah, I don't. Even we walk around filming stuff on the road, I get real uncomfortable with it. And where I'm just like, I don't want a camera following. Like it just feels dumb. But it is is it's like you're putting stuff out but then you're just

Starting point is 00:23:49 like i'm so uncomfortable yeah the final product usually makes it worth it yeah but in the moment it's like ah this is ridiculous yeah yeah i don't it's yeah yeah i that's the thing i hope you know like i know a lot of people uh it's like if you ever feel sad, if you're on social media, like it all goes back to social media. I think it's all because you're just looking. Because it is. You look and I get annoyed. You look at it and you're just seeing like these, you know,

Starting point is 00:24:18 because so many people just like talk in it. It's like almost like that's your friend. As you're just talking, when people talk and they're not looking at it, you're almost like you like that's your friend as you're just talking when people talk and they're not looking at it you're like man that's a lot like you know but i guess they get into that rhythm and it works you know they like it if you like it but then you also can't you just can't look at it and then think like man because it looks like everybody's doing something it looks like everything's happening for everybody just think about your one even if you just thought about one thing in the morning.

Starting point is 00:24:47 If I was like, we just posted podcast, record, and then whatever. Anybody else that feels like they're doing nothing is like, God, I'm not doing anything today. They're doing that today. And you're like, no, no, dude, we might do this and then sleep for 20 hours. All right, it doesn't matter. Hashtag on the grind. On the grind.

Starting point is 00:25:06 Yeah. Everything. Yeah. Is that Bates posting? Yeah, sorry. Yeah. I was about to be like, I would like to see the video of that

Starting point is 00:25:14 show the microphone and it just being jerky. Like, it's like, you see Bates, it's just like, he's like, what is it? Hawk, get it?

Starting point is 00:25:25 Squirrels. Where were you at? I went out to California. I did a private gig, but I went out to the farm country. I don't know you're working. Yeah, exactly. Post a video. Yeah, I don't like people to think I'm sitting around.

Starting point is 00:25:39 If there's not a date on the calendar, I'm still working. But I went out to farm country, Turlock, California, where they raise a lot of almonds. And I went to a dairy farm. This guy had a dairy farm where like hundreds of cows could sit on this. They walk up and then the thing moves. It's a circle and it moves and each and a cow just keeps stepping on. And then it like kind of robot connects to the, to the udders and milks them as it goes around. And then when it's done, it just pops off and then the cow exits. And it blew my mind. I

Starting point is 00:26:12 mean, my dad grew up milking cows, but he was like milking a cow with his hands. I mean, this thing blew my mind. And is it like the New Jersey gas pumps when you don't have to pump your own gas? Yeah, I guess so for the cow. Yeah. They're like finally you know i don't know but maybe uh you know the cow i guess the cow would be the the pump the cow would be the car oh yeah opposite yeah they just like you know but it was i've never seen anything like that i've seen a bunch of dairy farms but this was pretty mind-blowing. Do they say raisin almonds? Is that how they say it?

Starting point is 00:26:50 They probably say grow. Like they go through school and you have a family, you have parents, you have two walnuts. Yeah, they're like a family for you. That's where the Blue Diamond Almond place is at, is right there. I saw that factory, Blue Diamond Almonds. I got to go visit our walnut today. Yeah, you spend time with them you know you get to know them yeah and then they say they take a machine and grab the tree and shake the tree and that's all they get all the almonds out of it i think they'd come up with a better way you would think but they they have a machine

Starting point is 00:27:18 that just shakes the tree yeah like it vibrates and they all fall off maybe that is the cleanest way for it to do it like you, you know, you're not pulling. And they grow pistachios. And it's just fun to see because we have so many things in containers that you don't even think about where that came from. Yeah. You know, you go to the gas station, buy some pistachios and you're just eating them in the car. You don't think about them growing on a tree. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:42 At least I don't. I was in the place where they make containers this weekend okay all right you don't think about what goes in there yeah yeah you just always see them you know you're like you don't see them with nothing on them it's like let's see from the beginning right it's nice yeah it is good i'm glad we got to see it all yeah you know all right uh start off with you guys uh with your comments world cup comments i think we nailed it uh also i mean do you have a vandy thing did anybody well uh you know last week pre-recorded and last week you had your vandy vandy gear on and uh we were like i'm like we're bowl bound and

Starting point is 00:28:23 you're like i don't jinx us, but I'm feeling good. And Tristan put the score up while we were saying all that. Oh, really? That's funny. So it's showing that Tennessee winning 56 to nothing while we're like, I don't know. I'm feeling pretty good about it. I got a helmet from Coach Clark Lee, new helmet up there.

Starting point is 00:28:40 He wrote a very nice note. I've not gotten to meet him yet. But, I mean, I'm a giant fan. It did not go our way, but I still love where we're headed. We had a lot of fun. World Cup comments. Jeffrey Schell quits. Amazingly, they managed to know less about the World Cup and soccer

Starting point is 00:29:01 than they did about physics. I love these guys. Yeah. Well, we're physics geniuses. I don't know how that's even a shocker yeah yeah uh i've been watching the world cup i watched uh the u.s felt like we should have won that uh what is weird to look at the stats for a soccer game because i never i never watched soccer other than the world cup but the watch like the the way they monitor like possession time and stuff like that, and you're like, these are stats I didn't even know that existed.

Starting point is 00:29:30 And then by the end of it, you're like, well, I feel like we should have had a better performance than that. I think we should. My brother, who does know about – but a lot of people were saying that our coaching was – that we should have had a different game plan than what we did. It just didn't look – yeah, it looked bad. Like we should have scored – there was like one up at the top.

Starting point is 00:29:53 It was like – I mean, I think everybody thought we should have beat that team. Yeah. And then we would have played messy, which would have been cool. Absolutely. Yeah. Seems like they played messy in the game you guys are talking about. Boom. Solid stuff right there.

Starting point is 00:30:08 That's pretty solid right there. Well, I sat next to your brother, Derek, at the Vandy game, and he was giving me such a hard time about the World Cup where I talked about the goal of the century. And I was like, yeah, he basically just went down and kicked it in the net. He's like, that's all you said about it. And then he made a valid point about we're watching football. He's like, a play last three to four seconds.

Starting point is 00:30:27 And then there's like a 45 second wait for the next play in football. We're in soccer. It's there's always something happening. Yeah. That's what I like about our football is that weight you get, you get to reset, you know, there's a play happens and it's a reset with soccer.

Starting point is 00:30:41 It is. It's too like hockey for me too. It's like, it's just, this go, I mean, this go i mean it's going the whole time i need breaks uh after every four seconds yes i think i like it's like i like the idea that soccer though it's like just it's it's almost a little just it's peaceful to

Starting point is 00:30:57 watch like it's just kind of you know it's kind of always going and then they kick it in and it's oh super exciting yeah and then it's like you know it's like sometimes in football like when you it is like you you see a play and you've been waiting you're like oh what's this gonna be then it's just like a one yard falls right in the ground you're like and you get sometimes you feel like you gotta wait you know because watching football plays not work is the worst oh yeah just seeing just seeing just three runs and the guy gets a yard. Up the middle each time. Up the middle tackled every time. And you're like, oh my gosh, dude.

Starting point is 00:31:31 This is awful. When it doesn't work, it looks like there's no plan. Yeah. Because you have 12 pieces moving. And so when a run up the middle can be so complex where it's like, what's supposed to be a zone read where the whole thing is supposed to flow to the left or the right, and then you have your safeties and all this stuff, and then at the end it just looks like a bunch of guys

Starting point is 00:31:54 just kind of ran into a pile together. Yeah. And you're like, it doesn't look good. You're like, well, sometimes football doesn't look good. Yeah. But I think, to me, the soccer aspect is like, I just don't like the theatrics that come with, like, the slide tackles and all this. And you're, like, and some of them are legit, like, I mean, because an ankle is, like, the hardest, like, most sensitive part, like, of your, like, I mean, it's crazy.

Starting point is 00:32:16 But it's, like, I just, I don't like the idea that it's, like, oh, I have to roll around until I see that guy reach into his pocket. And then it's, like, oh, I did my thing. Like I see that guy reach into his pocket. And then it's like, oh, I did my thing. Like, I don't like that part. Just like. Well, I feel like they do a pretty. Like, the only thing with the World Cup is I agree, too, because that's what I was talking about soccer is like, you know, they're on the ground. They're screaming.

Starting point is 00:32:35 They're like, you're like, oh, man, I can't watch. You're like, I don't know who because they scream. And you're like, all right. You try to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Then he gets up and runs. And you're like, well, why did you scream scream and it's like they're trying to draw all this stuff uh but the world cup i felt like they like it feels a little more like we ain't putting up with you know they fall and they scream but it's like it feels like it kind of moves like it's like

Starting point is 00:32:59 yeah yeah we're just keep going right uh but Soccer, I think, was known for being overly. Derrick said they can get you a card, a red card, and then kick you out or something. Like if you overdo it. Yeah. Like if someone's flopping the whole time. I mean, the NBA started doing that kind of flopping where that stuff really hurts a game. Oh, for sure.

Starting point is 00:33:20 I mean, I remember watching when Russell Westbrook was in Oklahoma City. He tore his ACL, and then he played the second half of a game. You're like, I want that level of toughness. Or even in football, I've seen dudes have ankle injuries, and they just go and get re-taped, and they come back into the game. And it's like, y'all just pause the game. I want to see, because also there are tough dudes in soccer. Like I remember, what is it, like 10 years ago there was a guy that out of nowhere

Starting point is 00:33:50 he just headbutted a dude in the chest. And I was like, all right, like if soccer was more like that dude, like I would be so into it. I think they might be, and we don't know. Yeah, let's bring more headbutts in. I'm for that. I'm just saying that. I'm more headbutts in i'm for i'm just i'm just saying that i'm for headbutts on all sports and football players fake too if a team's marching down the

Starting point is 00:34:11 field the defense will just collapse yeah slow it down i tell you what these football players with their i was just saying they're getting uh injured like our uh concussions or i mean dude it feels like it happens every game. Like someone gets hit and it's like just brutal. And I guess that is – they were saying they didn't point it out before. Sorry. I don't know how to work it. I don't know why there's volume on it.

Starting point is 00:34:36 Yeah, yeah. We don't have to show it. But I think we did show it. We did last week. We showed it in the World Cup thing. Oh, you talked about the headbutt thing? I don't know. I'm sorry. I don't know why. My volume's off here. I don't know why there's still volume to it. Yeah, yeah. We did last week. We showed it in the World Cup thing. Oh, you talked about the headbutt thing? I don't know. I'm sorry.

Starting point is 00:34:45 I don't know why. My volume's off here. I don't know why there's still volume to it. Yeah, yeah. It's all right. It's all right, buddy. I'm new to working the computer. This is the first laptop I've ever touched.

Starting point is 00:34:54 I just want you to know it was a topic that I brought up, so I appreciate you trying to do it. Yeah, I really. Nate, shut it down. I really appreciate you doing it. Do you need to put a piece of tape over there? Yeah, I mean, they're watching me. Yeah. You like to let them know every now and again where you're at?

Starting point is 00:35:05 Yeah, you know, I want them to think I live here. Yeah, yeah. You know, that way they won't come. You want to save a few of that? Because you're on your grind.

Starting point is 00:35:11 Right. Yeah, you want to tell them this is where I live? Yeah, I live here now in this room. Yeah. This is where I'm at most of the time.

Starting point is 00:35:18 All right. There you go. They know. My mom watches the podcast. She said this picture behind me, she said you look like the guy from The Professional you ever see that movie

Starting point is 00:35:27 with a guy I've seen it I've never watched it but it's it's a great movie yeah fantastic I need to watch it

Starting point is 00:35:33 because it was like it's him and a little girl right yeah I see it all the time Natalie Portman yeah oh yeah Gary Oldman's in it

Starting point is 00:35:40 Gary Oldman's like the best bad guy my mom said you look like this guy in that picture alright I like that The Professional thank you yeah alright thank Gary Oldman's like the best bad guy. My mom would say you look like this guy in that picture. All right. I like that. Thank you. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:35:47 All right. Thank you. Yeah. You look like the bad guy from the first Mission Impossible. I think it's this one. Oh. Mm-hmm. But yeah.

Starting point is 00:35:55 Mm-hmm. I like it. I like it. Thank you. Milton Motti, coming from Europe, this episode was super fun to watch. The mistakes made were horrendous don't get me wrong but you guys the guys either figured them out or simply moved on are exactly what we love about the podcast on the other hand when some of you mentioned

Starting point is 00:36:16 something right i was getting super excited and feeling happy for you that's what you want that's the right attitude yeah i appreciate that yeah we had so many people say, I can't listen to this anymore. I'm too involved in it. You guys are just upsetting me. But Milton took it in stride. Yeah. Yeah, you got to not take soccer so serious. Oh, they couldn't listen to the World Cup episode

Starting point is 00:36:33 because they were too... They're into the World Cup. Yeah, too involved. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm involved. I've watched. Pippa Silvia. As someone who does watch the Tour de France every year,

Starting point is 00:36:44 I find it very exciting to watch. I found trying to convince people to watch it is a fruitless endeavor. I'm not saying everyone should watch every stage in its entirety, but watching the last hour or so does the job. I could see that. Yeah. I think it's if you understood it. It's like a lot of stuff.

Starting point is 00:37:03 If I knew everything that was going on but what's there to know i think that's what soccer is like the leagues and even all that like i was talking to chase or merch about my son uh he uh he he i was talking to him about uh the the leagues i was like messy Messi and Ronaldo. It is. It's hard to explain it. When do they play? It's like Barcelona and Real Madrid play in this league. And I'm like, so they have a season? Are they in the championship?

Starting point is 00:37:38 I think I would love it once I understood it. But it's just, you've got to have the time. The one thing that I love about that soccer does is the leagues that they're in. So if you perform poorly, they kick you out of the divisions. So I wish that would happen in college football where it's like, hey, if you're like – because a lot of teams are kind of just grandfathered into a place and you're like – like Kansas for the longest time

Starting point is 00:38:03 in the Big 12 was just like, yeah, we're just going to do whatever. We're going to put all of our budget on basketball. And it's like, yeah, but it would be great if you could just contribute to this. Like the Big 10. So you want Kansas kicked out of the Big 12? No, no, no. What I'm saying is that it's –

Starting point is 00:38:17 You can't keep up. You're out. Yeah, yeah. Well, in football, I think it's a thing. Because in basketball, they're killing it. But it's like there's just no incentive for them to be good because it's like when at the end of football season, they just break up the money they make equally.

Starting point is 00:38:32 So there's no incentive. They just pocket all that money without putting any in. Yeah. So that's like the – I like the soccer system of if you don't do well, then we demote you, and if you do well, we promote you. Yeah. I think you're taking a shot a little more than kansas i wasn't gonna say i mean uh i don't know who you could be

Starting point is 00:38:50 kansas do good this year i mean i'm talking about northwestern too yeah yeah yeah northwestern won a rose bowl bill bridgeforth and that was a hundred years ago but bill bridgeforth you guys didn't mention the best part about watching soccer. No commercials. They play an entire half without stopping. It's hard to go back to football and see the same ads every five minutes. I agree with that. I didn't realize that. That is a big encouragement for me to watch soccer.

Starting point is 00:39:15 I hate commercials. It's straight up 45 minutes. So you like, I mean, well, and the added time or whatever, but it's like that's only a few minutes. But it's like just, it is nice to be like, clock starts, game starts, and you just sit there and watch it. And then at halftime you can go do whatever you want to do, and

Starting point is 00:39:31 come back second half, you watch it. It is great. It's great. I love seeing commercials and they have the jersey just filled with things. Oh yeah, their jerseys are, there's ads going around the thing, but it's like, I'd be like, I'd do that. I'll take it. I mean, the way the NFL's like i'm i'll be i'd be like i'd do that i'll take it i mean the way nfl is like doing that half and half screen now makes me furious because i

Starting point is 00:39:51 feel like they just added more commercials right and so they're like they can get away with it more like oh this counts you're getting to we'll show you both you're like i i'm yeah yeah and then no music at halftime anymore i'm done with that too no bands at halftime anymore. I'm done with that too. No bands at halftime. Yeah. I don't know. I enjoyed the – they had like a crazy band for the Mexico City. It was like a – what's the brass – Like a Marachi band? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:40:15 Well, I'm into that. It's the bigger one. Okay. But there was like 18 people on stage. Are you talking about Monday Night Football? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, this is chaos. I love it so much. I'm into that, but the jonas brothers were doing one i was watching and i'm like i don't

Starting point is 00:40:30 yeah i mean i'm not i'm not trashing the jonas brothers but i'm not i don't care i'm watching the football game they should make stuff more for just you yes yeah yeah yeah it's not like you're talking about thanksgiving yeah yeah i mean it's not necessary i don't need it it's the superbowl and they should know yes dusty doesn. I don't need it. It's the Super Bowl and Thanksgiving. Yeah, they should know. Yes. Dusty doesn't like it. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:40:48 I didn't see anybody going, man, I love that Jonas Brothers at halftime. But if Waylon Jenning came out. Yeah, well, that'd be different. That would be true. Well, they should do more stuff like that. I'll agree with that. I will agree with that. Royale, we cheese.

Starting point is 00:41:04 Dusty's wife's story about her childhood soccer team is essentially the plot of the movie little giant they might have took it from her yeah i mean rick moranis was in that right little giants yeah he's canadian so he might have for all i know he stole that idea that's true you know get to the bottom of that all right uh holiday shopping comments you skipped one oh one more. World Cup comments. Rena Camps. Rena Camps. Hey, guys, I'm in America living in Qatar.

Starting point is 00:41:30 Been here since 2018. Qatar is a pretty cool place, and there's so much incorrect stuff floating around on the internet about it. Alcohol is available here. Wow. And has been for at least the last decade. It's not just sold as widely. It's just not sold as widely.

Starting point is 00:41:44 Oh, it's just not sold as widely. Wildly. Women can sunbathe at hotel beaches and even the beachfront neighborhood I live in. It's pretty amazing living here. Nice people and so safe. Nate, you could come do a show here. Yeah, look at that.

Starting point is 00:42:04 I'm in. I love it. Well, she didn't mention you, but. I'm just letting you know, though. I'm in, though. You know what I mean? I'm in. It does seem like your kind of place, though, doesn't it?

Starting point is 00:42:14 Yeah, I mean, I'll go. I mean, if you need someone. I guess they have an emir. I said king last week, but someone said it's an emir is the ruler. There you go. And it's the last we ever heard of reina she's like you can do everything she's been doing all the rule they're like no no we never said that a man pulls up those are in the back right when she hits in on this comment she's like i got a knock on my door i'll be right back guys uh no that's that's great to hear that is crazy if they the alcohol is available there like

Starting point is 00:42:51 how it is just like why are people uh it just feels like stuff gets spread around yeah that's a great place well i think they it's people wanting some i they i think people want the world cup to come to their country yeah so if like if i can make a region look bad then that means that oh we're going to be more like city focused or yeah and i and yeah i'm everywhere everywhere's got problems everybody's good but it's nice to hear that uh holiday shopping comments the dot names dot rach i've loved i've listened to nateland podcast since the first episode but i laughed so hard during the most recent holiday shopping episode that i had an asthma attack and now plan only to listen to the podcast when i'm near my inhaler all right you gotta be careful

Starting point is 00:43:35 you gotta be careful change we're out here changing lives yes uh marky quinn i worked for a bed bath and beyond and a manager would change the music the last hour we were open to polka music he called it the polka power hour yes people do shop faster when they hate the music it's a good way to get people out of their way to get them out it's your bed bath and beyond appreciate it i had no idea polka had that power, you know? I feel like Polka's fun. I feel like I would stay longer.

Starting point is 00:44:11 Because I grew up in the town that I grew up in. Well, I'm sure it backfires on some guy. Yeah. And then he calls his buddies. Finally. He calls his buddies and all the people that like Polka that are definitely not buying anything. They're just in there like, finally, dude. Get it out in the open randy cyber the non-fiction discussion hits on a sore point for me unsweet tea it blows my mind that unsweet tea

Starting point is 00:44:35 is a thing in our vernacular no one took the sweet out of it like skim milk it's the original thing i ordered a sweet tea for my wife and unsweet for me, and mine will be marked diet on the cup lids. As you can tell, this is a bit of a deal for me. All right. Oh, unsweet. But wouldn't it be just called tea? I think that's his point, right? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:44:58 But I think in the South, I mean, I don't know. I believe most people want sweet tea, so you have to say sweet or unsweet. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like unsweet. Like you're taking the sweet out of you. Like, no, no, no. They're serving you the original iced tea.

Starting point is 00:45:12 I'm the original. Why should I have to have this special word? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I agree with this guy. But when I waited tables, it would irritate me if people would just say tea. Because I'm like, sweet or unsweet? What tea do you want here? Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:45:24 You got to know it's the environment. If you're in're in the south you're gonna have to say unsweet or sweet right and then everywhere else you just say I'd like an iced tea because we would make sweet tea and unsweet tea in the morning and usually we would never have to make a new unsweet tea but we would make many, many sweet teas. That's good. Allison Cacala. Cacala. Dusty, so many times in this episode I wanted to reach you to the screen and high-five you.

Starting point is 00:45:54 We got commonalities. All right. Thanks, Allison. I'll give you a high-five. Can I do one for Allison? This is Allison's. You really pulled it back on me, though. I was trying to yeah i was playing the camera yeah just talking to aaron allison you got to see that high five on

Starting point is 00:46:10 aaron lane that high five will air on aaron lane uh andrew hall i worked at the military museum in dayton ohio dusty's experience is very common guns and knives are prohibited on federal property the security staff most likely realize that you return to the entrance faster than if you would have gone back to your car they typically search for the knives hidden or buried because they do not want a child to get a hold of it played this for a few of them and they thought it was hilarious because it happens almost hourly wow yeah i mean i knew they got Yeah. I felt like I saw the guy heading out there like right away to get it. So-

Starting point is 00:46:48 I bet it was Andrew. To do this would be to go dig it in the hole and then take a minute. Yeah. Sit on the park bench. I mean, because that parking lot is so far. I'm like, it's not even worth it. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:47:01 If I go back to the car, I won't see the museum today. Yeah. Why don't you just throw it i guess i could i just went out there and just chunked it out in the parking lot i think you're like a field or something yeah that's crazy that they found it though yeah i mean i think they just watched me the whole time yeah yeah you come back with dirty hands yeah yeah weren't they already dirty they go there are but there's dirty boy it's fresh dirt i think when we went ricky had some weapons on him

Starting point is 00:49:47 MIT material. I'm MIT. You had that doctor tell you you were a genius. I mean, you're just, you're racking up the brainiacs here. MIT. It's like M15. What's the thing from Impossible? Mission Impossible.

Starting point is 00:50:01 Yeah. She's one of them now. She is? No, I don't know. Isn't that called MI5? I think. Yeah. Yeah, I guess Impossible. Yeah. She's one of them now. She is? No, I don't know. Isn't that called MI5? I think, yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:50:10 What's, oh, like the British intelligence? Yeah. It starts with MIT. Yeah. So she passed. She goes to MIT. She made it. When she graduated.

Starting point is 00:50:18 Got the T. Yeah. One day she'll get to a five. Yeah. Just go to numbers. You got to do it several times. So she finally gets to Z, and then they they go welcome to the numbers yes mi5 and isn't that where uh matt damon's character in goodwill honey what's he in a janitor at mit sure sure oh yeah yeah just solving

Starting point is 00:50:38 equations in there equations this late night solving equations yes classic uh blue collar genius yeah you think anybody will notice if i start writing on this chalkboard you know like It's late night solving equations. Classical. Blue collar genius. Yeah. You think anybody will notice if I start writing on this chalkboard? You know, like. Yeah. It's a little hobby of mine, just finishing equations. This week, we're talking about a very fun topic, World War II.

Starting point is 00:50:59 Well, we're going to make it fun. All right. So today, this comes out as Pearl Harbor Day. Okay. Pearl Harbor Day. Yeah. A few birthdays too. Big as Pearl Harbor Day. Ooh. Okay. Pearl Harbor Day. Yeah, a few birthdays, too. Big J birthday. Oh, yeah. Okay.

Starting point is 00:51:10 I want to say Patrice O'Neill's birthday was the 7th. My buddy Ryan, his birthday. And Wayne. I talk about them in the special. Wayne Denton. The Dentons, his birthday. A lot of December 7th birthdays. That's great.

Starting point is 00:51:23 All right. Yeah. That's about all I had. All right. All right. Pearl Harbor Day. So I would be willing to bet that most Americans, myself included, did not know why Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor.

Starting point is 00:51:40 I think I do. Do you guys know? Nah. Did you go to Pearl Harbor when you were in Hawaii? Yeah. Okay. They were mad about when you were in Hawaii? Yeah. Okay. They were mad about us using forks? Good guess, but no.

Starting point is 00:51:50 No. I mean... I don't know. I'm sure there's... There's a shovel. I'm sure there's... That's an old Seinfeld joke. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:51:55 He goes... It's the Chinese, but... Oh, yeah. About using... Chopsticks. Chopsticks. How they don't see, he goes, you know, you don't see a guy out there in the farm with two pool cues. Yeah. He goes, I mean, they got shovels. They don't see, he goes, you know, you don't see a guy out there in the farm, two pool cues.

Starting point is 00:52:06 Yeah. He goes, I mean, they got shovels. They don't see that. I've seen that. Yeah. There you go.

Starting point is 00:52:16 Do you know what? I mean, I do think I know because I watched, or I did, or something. Was it something to, with,

Starting point is 00:52:24 Germany? Or, like, was it something to uh with uh uh germany or like was it trying to they were trying to they were in on it together to try to take over the world well that that's what i would think most people would would guess i thought i was gonna be in the other category i'm in the most people's well it doesn't have to do with oil reserves. We shifted our... Instead of doing deals with Japan, we started sending all of our oil and stuff to fight. Or we're sending them to aid England. You're getting closer. Nerd alert, Justin.

Starting point is 00:52:58 Sorry. I got to have opinions that match this jacket. So Japan had its own little war going on with China, which is kind of crazy now. People don't really talk about that very often. No. I bet they do. Yeah, but that was happening.

Starting point is 00:53:12 Yeah. I watch a lot of kung fu movies. They always reference it. Do they? Yeah. Wow. You watch like just kung, like what? Well, like Ip Man.

Starting point is 00:53:19 You ever see Ip Man? No. It's I-P Man, but it's pronounced Ip, Master Ip. It's great. It's the best kung fu movies out there is it apparently he trained bruce lee oh wow so it's a very old yeah well it's not very they've redone it donnie yin is the guy and they've done like five of them it's really great yeah it's the best if you like kung fu fights a lot of times the fights will be all

Starting point is 00:53:43 broken up and weird i mean these are straight on and it's it's the best you can get yeah mike tyson's in one is it better than unbach i think so because that one's that one's crazy like that was like the first time they ever did like the dust kicks where they put like like they put powder on somebody's chest and so when you make contact it looks like the contact is a lot bigger. So it's like a whole – it's like bananas. And so – Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:54:11 I mean, Ip Man fights Mike Tyson. There was not much to that. Oh. You ruin it for us? No, I'm not going to tell you what happens in the fight, but they do fight. Okay. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was in one of them. What is it?

Starting point is 00:54:22 I haven't even heard of this. Well, not the biggest fans. Not Ip Man, but didn't Kareem fight Bruce Lee? Oh, I didn't know about it? I haven't even heard of this. Well, not the biggest fans. Not Ip Man, but didn't Kareem fight Bruce Lee? Oh, I didn't know about that. I don't know about this. I think so. You know, the problem

Starting point is 00:54:32 with Bruce Lee's movies is they say that he was so fast that the cameras of that time couldn't keep up with his speed. So he had to slow down to be able to be filmed. I mean, I feel like that's something he wrote.

Starting point is 00:54:44 Yeah. Well, that could be true too. He be because i bet you can't get me because no we're good we're good because we're good we got all of it because i saw you do your toes i saw your toes move they're like you keep missing he's like no no i did it was so fast you you just the camera's not getting it yeah so basically i signed my name with my big toe. You don't get that? When I kick, I go sign it. Yeah, they miss it. They miss it. Yeah, you can't get it.

Starting point is 00:55:10 Yeah. Germany had its own war going on in Europe. Japan was trying to take over the South Pacific, and they were fighting with China and taking over some other islands. So the only thing they felt like could really stop them was the United States' fleet of Navy ships in the South Pacific. Yeah. So they're like, we go take them out.

Starting point is 00:55:30 Nobody's going to get in our way. So they did a surprise attack because they thought, we can't beat them head to head. But if we surprise attack, take out their fleet, then they won't be able to stop us. I did know that. I think I did. Yeah. I don't know if I could have said it. I believe you believe you did i couldn't come up the words for it did you go to the uss arizona uh yeah yeah that's the main one in tucson yeah yeah uh yeah all right yeah but it's uh I haven't been, but it sounds pretty.

Starting point is 00:56:05 It's good. Pretty amazing. Well, they have like, we didn't get to go out to the thing. We went like before the show, so we went late, but we walked on the submarine and went down in that.

Starting point is 00:56:14 All right. Is that the USS? That's not it. I wouldn't think so, no. Yeah. I think the USS Arizona, they have a memorial in the middle of the thing.

Starting point is 00:56:21 We didn't get to go out there. Yeah. But we saw where it was. It's crazy. It's wild. Yeah. I mean, the out there, but we saw where it was. It's wild. Yeah, I mean, the whole thing, it's very wild. Yeah, it's crazy. Over 2,000 men were killed that day.

Starting point is 00:56:32 People killed that day. Yeah, yeah. Uplifting. All right, let's get into some fun stuff then right out of the gate. All right. Yeah. I thought we'd talk about Hitlerler a little bit yeah you know i had some family in world war ii my my grand my grandmother my mom's mom's first husband was

Starting point is 00:56:53 killed in world war ii golly i mean these two together today were they uh was your family were they not in the military they went on their own yeah they just went yeah just went over there figured they did they go yeah well they like, we can't get drafted. Let's just go help. Yeah, let's just go help. But no, he was killed there. And then I have an uncle that was his dad. But then my grandmother remarried.

Starting point is 00:57:15 And then my grandfather got injured in, I think, in boot camp or in training camp for World War I. Wow. And then my uncle, my dad's dad was born in 1900. And he had my dad when he was 47. Wow. So he had other kids. And my oldest uncle was in World War II. And he was injured.

Starting point is 00:57:38 He got a purple heart. And my dad was just telling me this recently, that he, like, I don't know who the enemy was in this particular fight, but apparently my uncle opened a door, and the enemy shot and killed the guy behind him. Golly. And he said he came home, and he told his mom, he said, I almost starved to death, and I'll never let that happen again.

Starting point is 00:58:03 And then he got real big wow he ate a lot but then he was a chiropractor how big would you say uh well i don't want to throw out numbers out here yeah no but he was you know probably 400 pounds you know i don't i mean so like a good healthy amount yeah yeah yeah like a perfectly average amount yeah i mean yeah i know he didn't talk about the like he comes home he goes man i almost starved to death oh by the way almost got shot in the face but yeah yeah like that was this other thing that you got brought my dad always would talk about the the food thing how we don't but just over thanksgiving he told me that about the uh the shooting and that he had a purple heart he'd

Starting point is 00:58:40 never shared that i had a joke where i said I never had any family in the military but my sister did one tour with the dollar general you know and it's like but I you have war heroes yeah I know

Starting point is 00:58:51 yeah so that's my whole World War II that's all my family that's what they were up to that's crazy yeah

Starting point is 00:58:58 well that's awesome well after Pearl Harbor this guy here in America came up with an idea to strap miniature bombs to bats and drop them over Japanese cities. And it made it to the desk of Franklin Roosevelt. And he's like, you know what? This isn't a bad idea.

Starting point is 00:59:15 Let's look into it. Everybody thought it was crazy, but he liked it. So he assigned the Air Force to try to make this happen. So the first job they had to do was figure out what species of bat would be best to use. Not the one that has COVID. Right. Yes. So they started, they stopped everything.

Starting point is 00:59:37 This is the U.S. Air Force in the middle of a war, stopped everything we're doing, start traveling around the country, trying to figure out what type of bat to use strap miniature bombs to um so they visit thousands of caves and and and a bunch of mines they finally settled on the mexican free tail bat free tail bat mexican free tail bat it was the most plentiful type of bat and they said these japanese buildings were mostly um wooden so they they have the bat land on it. Bomb goes off, causes chaos. That was their plan. So then they got to get permission from the National Park Service to,

Starting point is 01:00:14 even back then, it's the U.S. government. Got to get permission from the Park Service to collect these bats, thousands of retail bats. So they catch them with some nets, and now they got to experiment. National Parks was like, yeah, that's fun. Yeah. I guess so, yeah. You got too many of those things out here. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:00:29 Hey, guys, we're at war. I wonder if they really told them what for. Why? Nothing. They'll come back. Yeah, don't worry about it. Don't worry about what's happening. Shipping them to Japan.

Starting point is 01:00:38 Yeah. So then they got gotta test them so the bats can only carry roughly their own body weight which to me is pretty impressive they say like it's a bad thing i mean they can yeah they and they can almost they can barely carry they can roughly carry their own body weight is how it's worded. Man, that's a rough life. Which is every day is like, ugh. Just, I mean, like it's just a hassle. No, that means like if you carried another 165 pounds on your back. Oh, I thought it meant just their body. No, no, no, no.

Starting point is 01:01:23 Every morning is like, ugh, I'm going to lose weight. Like you got to – He just gets going slow. His wings are in his belly, just on the ground, just dragging. He's like, I ain't gonna get upside down. Just falls straight to the ground. So then the plan was, take him up an airplane, fly him over Japan, drop him from some type of carrier on a from a a parachute and keep they said keep the airplane really cold because then the bats will hibernate and they won't cause

Starting point is 01:01:54 much trouble while they're flying there open a window on that plane yeah up that high that's how you do it that's what i would i would say that in the meeting yeah open a window you don't need a they're like well how much refrigeration gonna cost open a window yeah so 20 000 feet up in the air minus 50 up there yeah that's what i gotta wear those jackets yeah yeah then i do a fist bump with the guy next to roosevelt next next problem yeah it'd be hard to shoot it down when they're like well our plan right now is to strap bombs to bats yeah so let's go with the open window idea i think you could have probably told japan we're doing this and they would probably be like all right yeah no one's

Starting point is 01:02:36 are you worried about it when yeah this is the most not top secret one you have to you get like you don't tell anybody they go we're telling tell everybody because no one's going to see this coming i mean could you imagine being a japanese pilot and you shoot at a plane and you make holes and all of a sudden just bats just start flying out of the holes? Like it's like bleeding bats almost. Yeah. And I'm guessing since we later drop an atomic bomb, the bats weren't successful. Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Starting point is 01:03:02 Yeah, you're getting ahead of us here, Dusty. We don't know that, you know, it wasn't a bat. I mean, we don't know that. Well, that is true. They found a bigger bat. Yeah, that is true. That is true. I think we're going to need a bigger bat.

Starting point is 01:03:19 So they start testing it, and the plan was drop them in a carrier. After the carrier gets a certain level the door opens the bats which are still asleep because they're hibernating they fall out and then they wake up you gotta walk back there if you gotta go to the bathroom you gotta go to the bathroom you gotta go it's minus 50 you don't want to wake up what happened they wake up they have bombs It's minus 50. Go. I'm asleep. You don't want to wake up. What happens when they wake up?

Starting point is 01:03:47 They have bombs. Yeah. Not only is it bats. It's a bat. Already. Non-bombed. You don't want a bat flying around your head with a bomb. Yeah. These guys can barely get their even body up in the air.

Starting point is 01:04:03 These guys can barely get their even body up in the air. You know. From a marketing standpoint, Bat Bomb is just the part. It rolls right off the top. Yeah, it does. Yeah. Probably created Batman. I wouldn't be surprised. So the bats were supposed to wake up while they're falling,

Starting point is 01:04:19 and then they were going to release them right at dawn. That's when bats roost. They would all land on these Japanese buildings, and after 30 seconds, the bomb would detonate and it caused chaos so they tested it um out in new mexico and the bats kept not waking up they would just hit the ground still asleep would the bomb go off one time the bomb went off and burned an air base in new mexico caught it on fire i imagine there's one guy during this meeting that uh is you know thinks it's stupid and so as we're having a serious conversation he's just like why don't you call batman and see what he thinks idiots and they're like john get out of here we're

Starting point is 01:04:59 having a serious conversation about this bat bombing and we want to talk yeah if you're not gonna take it serious he won't take it serious oh gosh because what if cat woman shows up you're like get john uh so it was called project x-ray by the way so they kept trying they they created fake japanese cities at test sites in utah but um it just never would something kept happening the bats wouldn't cooperate how do they got to go to Utah and New Mexico? Like that's probably the government spending to go, well, you're already in them. Just do it all there.

Starting point is 01:05:30 And they're like, well, let's follow Utah. Sounds like they wanted to burn down a thing in New Mexico. Sounds like they were like, we got to figure out how to get rid of this base. Yeah. Well, it didn't work. They never even tried it. Finally, they're like, let's just move on.

Starting point is 01:05:42 This other guy's got it. I got another idea. How about atomic bombs? So, it never happened. That's where they went from bat bombs to atomic bombs? Yep, they started.

Starting point is 01:05:51 They were like, these little bombs aren't going to work. Is that real? Yeah, that's real. I mean, I'm not saying it was quite like that, but they were also

Starting point is 01:05:57 working on atomic bombs. These bats weren't cooperating. They kept dying when they hit the ground. So, they're finally like, they're frozen. I mean, it's like. It's not like you're blaming the bats.

Starting point is 01:06:07 These bats apparently hate their country. These stupid bats. Well, maybe get American bats and not Mexican bats. And then they would have really given it a go. You know? You go, you're like, oh, we got these France bats. For some reason, they're not on our side. Right, yeah.

Starting point is 01:06:20 You're trying to get Mexico to fight for America. They're like, no. No, dude. I'm not doing that. Just fall to the ground. That's what they said yeah just fall to the park services like hey how the bats doing yeah they were mexican bats yeah but they found them in america so they got here somehow you wouldn't give me a blanket now you want me to work for you like it's crazy yeah yeah the bats knew they were like this is a bomb strapped to us i just love the title of the name is like the X-Ray.

Starting point is 01:06:45 It's like you literally have Bat Bomb would be the perfect name. It would be. And you go, no, no, no, we're going to call it X-Ray. Call it X-Ray because everybody can see through this plane. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:06:56 I could see the atomic bomb too making you get to that point of frustration that goes, just do the whole thing. Like they, you know. What do you mean? Your frustration of frustration that goes, just do the whole thing. Like they, you know, what do you mean? Your frustration of just these,

Starting point is 01:07:11 you probably months and doing this bat doesn't work. And you go, what do you want us to do? He goes, I got one that does the whole thing. No bat. Yeah. We can put a bat on it if you want.

Starting point is 01:07:18 Yeah. Yeah. You got to meet in the middle. He's like, I don't know. He goes, I'll put 50 bats on it. And he goes, all right, we got the bats. I's like, I don't know. He goes, I'll put 50 bats on it. And he goes, all right.

Starting point is 01:07:26 We got the bats. I don't want to return these bats. I don't want to take it all the way back. I mean, it does feel very rival scientist-y where it's like two guys are sitting there. It's like, all right, I finally got the bat thing to work. And the guy next to him was like, what if we just do the atomic bomb thing? And you're like, I just got it to work. I just fixed the bat thing. I just fixed the bat thing.

Starting point is 01:07:45 I just fixed it. Let's try ours first. Well, in Britain, they had one called Operation Mincemeat. And I learned about this from our new intern,

Starting point is 01:07:57 Amelia. Amelia Thomas. And there's a Netflix movie about this that came out this year. So they wanted to attack Sicily, but they wanted to trick the Germans into thinking they were actually going to attack Greece. So the Germans would lower down the guard. So they found a homeless guy who had died from eating rat poison, and they put an officer uniform on him.

Starting point is 01:08:20 And then they put a bunch of stuff on him, looked like he was a real person. And then they also put some secret plans in his him looked like he was a real person and then they also put some secret plans in his pocket like hey we're about to attack uh wait i'm i i've checked out and i don't i've not checked out you said amelia's the intern now i was back to that wow we really got to back up. Yeah. Well, I got stuck at a homeless guy dying from eating rat poison. That's where I got trailed off. Well, you're a little bit ahead of Nate. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:08:52 All right, so which part do you want to cover? Say it again just real quick. All right. Amelia's the new intern helping. Thank you, Amelia. Yes. I don't want to mess up her, you know, this is her first thing. That's right.

Starting point is 01:09:07 So they were trying, the British were trying to deceive the Germans. They wanted to attack Sicily. They wanted the Germans to think they were. Hold on, let me, because now I can't quit thinking about how funny it is that someone's listening and they're like, they got to listen to multiple times. This just happened like an episode or two ago. Yeah, I know.

Starting point is 01:09:26 You got to keep turning the car around. The fact that God bless all y'all that listen to this podcast. Because part of the podcast can't be we hear. They have to say it a few times. That's the part that's hard to get through. I mean, it's like trying to find parking during the holidays. Yeah. Parking lot, you just got to keep circling.

Starting point is 01:09:48 Got to keep circling. Do you get that? If you can't handle this, just there's a 10-second button or something, right? 15 seconds? I think it's 30, but it's been about 30. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:09:59 At least. Yeah. Start now. So click it now. I click a couple times. Or say Brian has 30 seconds to re-explain it. Okay. So click. Yeah. Start now. So click it now. I click it a couple times. We're saying Brian has 30 seconds to re-explain it. Okay. So click 30 seconds.

Starting point is 01:10:10 Ready? Brian, go. All right. They found a homeless guy who died from eating rat poison. I'll explain that to you later, Dusty, after the 30 seconds. So they dressed him up as an officer, and then they put a bunch of stuff on him to make him look like you know he's like legit officer they put like a theater stuff where he just been and a watch and stuff like that and

Starting point is 01:10:32 they also put some plans in there that said the british were going to attack greece and their plan was for germany to find it it would trick them into doing that 30 30 seconds. All right. Welcome back. There you go. So then they had to, they couldn't make it obvious. Like they can't just drop the guy on Germany's doorstep. So they had to take him out to the water and let him go

Starting point is 01:10:58 and let him float up to Spain. Spain was neutral. They just put him in the water? I haven't seen the movie, but I think they took him out on a boat and just put him in the water they I haven't seen the movie but I think they took him out on a boat and just let him go

Starting point is 01:11:09 and they knew he would float just like Moses yeah float some bats on him yeah the bats drag him yeah

Starting point is 01:11:16 they put him somewhere they knew he would wash up shore in Spain and they put all this stuff on him and then you lay him on the beach

Starting point is 01:11:22 in Spain and then they go it's that guy someone walks up there and goes there a guy out there him on the beach in spain and then they go it's that guy someone walks up there and goes there's a guy out there sleeping on the beach because i think so because maybe you should check it out i don't know maybe he's got a notice pocket and he just takes off makes you send the message home uh so they did this they turned him loose in the water it washed up on shore in spain then they had a hope that Spain would do what they wanted, which was to give this stuff over to Germany and not just be like,

Starting point is 01:11:48 oh, we found this guy and return him back to Britain. But Spain fell for it too. They did what they wanted and they gave the plan. Why did they turn the guy back to Britain, even if they did find him? Well, I mean, because he was listed as a British citizen. So I guess they would be like, hey, we found this dead person. We don't know who he is. He's from your country.

Starting point is 01:12:08 Oh, come get him? Yeah. Well, it's also a good way to see if the... Where's he at? He's at the pier. And we have children playing, so if you don't mind, speed it up. That's probably also a good way to check and see if it worked,

Starting point is 01:12:25 because if you have a general... if they want it to work, if you find the other side's plans, you would empty the pocket. Because you go like, oh, this is how we got his body. But if the plans are still in there, then they go, oh, well, he had his plans. Surely they read these and you would change it. So it's like, I feel like it's also a way to see if the plan worked if they were when they returned the body if his pockets are empty yeah imagine they return the body the plans are still in there and they're like oh they didn't even look at the yeah they take him back yeah all right bad guy this is strike two okay you can't you're not in charge of anything anymore. Justin.

Starting point is 01:13:06 How loud was that? Was that too loud? No, he gets into it. I appreciate it. Do you have headphones on? You could maybe sit in the other room and do this podcast. That was the most. I get fired up about stuff. I mean, that was like, was it your family?

Starting point is 01:13:23 Was he the guy? You guys get fired. Your family came up with this plan in Spain? You go, it would have worked if they'd have done it. That was so fiery. So it didn't work. It did work. Oh, it did work.

Starting point is 01:13:41 We were speculating what if it didn't work. And then they're like, the plans are still there. But it worked, and Germany moved a lot of their troops to Greece because they thought that's where they were going to go, and then Britain invaded Sicily, and the plan worked. Oh, wow. Yeah. Wow.

Starting point is 01:13:57 What's my favorite part about World War II? It's nice and easy. He goes, I'll tell you guys, what are my favorite parts about it? You know what's funny? I look over at the guy I'm monitoring, and the screen is red. And I was like, that's probably me. It's peaking. What's up, everybody?

Starting point is 01:14:11 This is Justin Smith. The one thing I think about World War II, his favorite part is. He's got a nice easy. What is your favorite part of World War II? Oh, just how much unconventional. I would hope that we won. Yeah. No, no, no. I love that there was so like unconventional i would hope that we won yeah no no i love the

Starting point is 01:14:25 there was so much like unconventional warfare during world war ii like nothing was kind of like it was just like i don't know let's try this yeah like there's so many things and it worked yeah it's crazy well like the rubber tank thing with patten where they were trying to when they were doing d-day they knew how much like germ respected Patton. So they used him as a decoy and they put him somewhere else and thinking the Germans were going to move their troops to that area. I don't, I don't, I'm not trying to like get ahead of anything.

Starting point is 01:14:55 Is it? I don't know that. That's like a, it's like, it's like a whole, it's like a whole thing. Or even like, um,

Starting point is 01:15:01 there was the thing. I know. We're briefs. I don't know. Do you know it? This story? yeah well they they knew

Starting point is 01:15:06 because General Patton was like this genius and he was he was a wild man I don't know much about him but yeah he's like a wild man

Starting point is 01:15:13 I mean I know who he is like he should have been like a four star general but he was so hard to get along with that he was only like a two star so he

Starting point is 01:15:20 imagine being like he was like the Doug Stanhope he was like Doug Stanhope of like... I don't even know what that means. Well, the waitresses have stars. And sometimes they're good servers, but they've got an attitude.

Starting point is 01:15:37 Pull the mic back. You're getting excited. You're our General Patton. But like his whole thing was he was by the end i'm just i'm just eating and that sounded terrific i just gotta get a bumper every time i it was uh yeah but he's like he's like a maniac so but he terrified everybody because he was so like – I mean there's like stories about him pulling into town. He would have like an air raid siren to let everybody know,

Starting point is 01:16:16 like the enemy know that he was coming. Like that's how cocky he was. Yeah. But there was a story where there was a bunch of like planes, like Japanese – or German, were flying overhead, like this area they supposedly had control over. And all the soldiers were diving for cover, and Patton had these Pearl Handle pistols. And he would shoot. There's a story of him shooting at the plane while everybody else is diving for cover.

Starting point is 01:16:45 Oh, wow. He was like a wild guy. He believed in reincarnation, and he believed that he was in the Battle of Thermopylae, which is like the movie 300. He believed that he was a Spartan. Yeah. And there was a story where he'd never been been before and he found the battle site without ever – like he just told the driver like, hey, drive here. And he found the battle because he was like, I've been here before.

Starting point is 01:17:13 It was much like – like he's just a character. He's wild. Yeah. And so all the other generals were very like put together and like they had like their very formal – kind of think of like british officers type and then patton was just a lunatic so they knew the germans were afraid of him so they used him as a decoy and they put him in a different part of france i think it's france or where they put him on a different coastline with like a fake army like they built fake tents and all this stuff to make them think that's where the Americans were going to land. And then so Germany moved all their defenses to where Patton was.

Starting point is 01:17:50 And then that's why D-Day was, that's why we could do it because like there was all the defenses were in different places. Wow. And I wonder if, like, I wonder if he took that, did he take it well?

Starting point is 01:18:01 He wasn't happy about it. Yeah. Like he was like, he was like, no, how about you just let me command them and I'll, and i'll hand like but his whole thing was like if if they did it's that it's the old argument of if you let the soldiers fight he's like his whole thing was like we we would have taken like the world war would have taken six months once we landed like if they

Starting point is 01:18:21 if they'd have listened to him but they were trying to be diplomatic and all this stuff. So, like, it's kind of like the argument of the wild man versus the, like, we're going to be friends with these people. Yeah, he's definitely not calling the park services about the bats. No, no. Like, they've been great. General Patton, do you mind talking to Dennis at the park services? He's like, this is Dennis.

Starting point is 01:18:44 Yeah, he's like, we're coming to get the bat. He goes, we're coming to get the bat. And he goes, well, sir, I don't know if, you know,

Starting point is 01:18:50 the bats are hard to find and we don't want you to get them. It's like, yeah, I don't even know why I'm on the phone. Like,

Starting point is 01:18:57 sir, some paperwork you're going to have to fill out. He goes, there'll be none, no paperwork. I can shoot you

Starting point is 01:19:01 in the face. Yeah, exactly. You want to do that? Well, here at home, some of this stuff made me feel a little bit better because, you know, that was known as the greatest generation because they went through the depression and the war and everyone stepped up and did their part. What if they would argue otherwise? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:19:20 Because they knew those people. They are the greatest generation. Like I'm saying those people, but they're like, you know, we like make it like you guys are the greatest. He's like, yeah, it was pretty brutal, man. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm about, were you about to say something, Dusty?

Starting point is 01:19:31 Well, I just wanted to, before we go too far about this homeless guy that they were like, oh, we found this homeless guy and he died of eating rat poison. Seems like they knew too well how he died. Yeah. It seemed like they found a person they deemed invaluable to society, and they were like, yeah, we'll use this guy. That's true. That is probably true, but they're like,

Starting point is 01:19:52 this guy can serve his country and do something. Be part of the greatest generation. He certainly wasn't paying taxes, that's for sure. Yeah, that's for them to decide. That's not his decision. Right. That's right. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:20:04 Do you want to serve your country, sir? I mean, not really. Eat this. Eat these chiclets here. Yeah. You want these chiclets and Diet Coke? Because I haven't eaten in months. I'll take it.

Starting point is 01:20:17 I think they found him after he was dead. I don't think they made him eat the rat poison. But again, I haven't seen the movie. Oh, it's a movie? There's a Netflix movie about this Operation Mincemeat. I do feel like, as far as war goes,

Starting point is 01:20:32 the soundtrack for World War II was not that great. Whenever you watch any type of war movies, the soundtrack's always like... Classical music. But even if you do Revolutionary War, it's still like, but like, even if you do like revolutionary war,

Starting point is 01:20:45 like it's still like a fun drum beat, you know, like a, that type. And then even like world war one, it's kind of like a big band drum, kind of a fun kind of thing. And then like world war two,

Starting point is 01:20:56 it's just kind of like a one nasally guy kind of singing like, all right, like a high pitch tenor, like kind of like by himself. And then after that, it just, like kind of like by himself. And then after that, it just, you get into like Doors music and Forrest Gump soundtrack. I never really listened to the World War II soundtrack.

Starting point is 01:21:12 But that's good. Is it Forrest Gump? No, that's what I'm saying. Oh, then it goes to all. All the soundtracks to all the other like war, like the war. Yeah. But like if you watch like,

Starting point is 01:21:21 like say Private Ryan. You were looking for help on that one too. I mean, I was, I thought. You were looking for help on that one too. I mean, I thought I was like. You were looking me in the eyes with just like a man floating in the ocean. Just going, are you not going to grab me? Please grab me. You get the tenor. I'd like to go to the.

Starting point is 01:21:35 The tenor makes his hound noises. He goes. I'd like to go to the record store and go, I am looking for the World War II soundtrack. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. It's not going to be good. When you watch World War II movies, it's all like they have to use a composer because there's no good music from that era.

Starting point is 01:21:56 From that era. Oh, because they weren't making it. Yeah. Because no one was being creative. It was like such a... All the creativity was spent on that project. Well, it's like because it was depression, that is true. Good point.

Starting point is 01:22:08 Look at the thing that was working so good and then everybody else left me like a cruise passenger. I totally disagree with everything you said, Justin. This is the music he grew up on. Exactly right. Big band? Come on, we had big band going. Big band and swing.

Starting point is 01:22:25 You may be right. I don't know. Big band? Come on. We had big band going. Yeah, big band and swing. That's where it's at. Yeah. No, you may be right. I don't know. I just think about whenever you watch certain movies. I mean, I think of any Vietnam movie you watch, and it's just littered. CCR. I mean, that.

Starting point is 01:22:39 I mean, you think of The Doors. You think of all these great music comes from wartime. It creates great art. Yeah. music comes from like wartime like it's like it creates great art yeah and then like that's the one where all the draft dodgers back home making music yeah yeah that helps yeah i just love that you have the look of you could be on either side of that issue oh yeah that's my favorite yeah you do have that very much you're like you don't know you're like he either was like, he either was a draft dodger or he did some big things. Either way. Well, they were called the greatest generation,

Starting point is 01:23:14 which I would argue they were. No, I would argue that. I was just saying it's funny to picture. It's very funny because they knew the people. They were like, no, there's some guys. I don't even mean that. I'm about to give an example. Well, it's like they're the people. They were like, no, there's some guys. I don't even mean that. I'm about to give an example. Well, it's like they're,

Starting point is 01:23:25 it's, they're the greatest generation, but it's like, it's like we tell them that and they just had to, I'm saying it's, it's crazy to like say that and that's all they really got.

Starting point is 01:23:34 They're like, oh, thanks man. You're like, we think very highly of you and you're like, yeah, it was miserable,

Starting point is 01:23:38 dude. Yeah. Like, and we're like, well, we'll call you the greater generation. Yeah. How about that?

Starting point is 01:23:43 Yeah. You know? Well, like, yeah, well, I mean, I mean, you think, you the greater generation. How about that? Yeah. You know? Well, like... Yeah, well, I mean, you think... You said greater. Yeah. Yeah, but I say stuff wrong all the time, so you should get it.

Starting point is 01:23:52 I just want to make... Yeah, I was trying to... Well, I agree that they're... If you go to, like, Cuba, the cars that they, like, that generation designed are still working in Cuba, like, to this day. Like, if you want to talk about how well they made everything like think about all the houses and stuff that we live i was like

Starting point is 01:24:09 these are all they all built everything that's still around yeah like in oklahoma that generation's houses are the only ones that are still left everybody else i mean everything else is just yeah i'm for the greatest generation so just i just want to i just want to make sure the music what's your problem with the greatest generation? Yeah. They had to go through so much. Well, I'm about to give an example how they're not as different than us as we might think because a lot of people during the pandemic would be like, you can't even wear a mask.

Starting point is 01:24:39 The greatest generation stood up and did all this stuff, gladly did all this stuff. Well, when the war broke out, the government said, we need to conserve gasoline and rubber. So they lowered the speed limit. They asked voluntarily, lower the speed limit to 35 miles per hour. They called it victory speed. I'd rather wear a mask.

Starting point is 01:24:59 Nobody would do it. So they finally had to make it a law. So speed limit during World War II for part of the time was 35 miles per hour. And they called it victory speed. And there's signs. You can Google it. There's signs that, you know, the speed limit, 35 victory speed. And it was like, you know, we're doing this to victory in the war.

Starting point is 01:25:18 But why did they do that? To conserve gasoline and rubber. They felt like if you went went slower it would burn less rubber okay and people had to put stickers on their car to show what kind of job they had if they had an essential their essential worker that needed to drive more you could go further miles per week than you could you weren't supposed to be on the road just for fun to conserve gasoline i mean did everybody even have cars back there was it they were taking i think i said i read 80 of people had cars by oh wow

Starting point is 01:25:50 so um i'm sure then they caught all the leaders on their cars going really fast yeah going fast and they go oh yeah it's on the Yeah, it's on the local news. All right, and that was D-Day. Next up, Mayor Fryanpan. I don't know the name. I got stuck with Fryanpan. They completely stopped making cars during World War II because all the automobile companies started making tanks and stuff like that. So that's the other reason.

Starting point is 01:26:23 They're like, guys, we're not making new cars, so you better keep the ones you have. Yeah, so do we have a lot of stuff to make these new signs that say victory speed? Yeah, yeah. I mean, just stupid. Like, you go. That's the reason they want to go.

Starting point is 01:26:38 I feel like if you just asked everybody to do it, it would be. So they did ask everybody, and nobody was doing it. Yeah, most people weren't honoring it. And then they made it a law, so then they did ask everybody nobody was doing it yeah most people weren't honoring it and then they made it a law so then they made new signs yeah yeah yeah yeah i like this one though save your five best tires that's like who has five tires one in the back yeah i guess so but who has more sell sell others to uncle sam yeah they just had a bunch of tires back then look at all these tires i think to me it's like you guys got five

Starting point is 01:27:09 tires i don't even have five i got four like i don't have a spare anymore yeah well it's the uh i feel like it's always it goes to the you're asking yeah it's like what about the people making the cars like that's the thing it's like you're always like you're like you that those people have to go like all right so i gotta drive 35 hours i can't have tires blah blah and then you're like well do you get a discount for like tires or do you get like just something because the people making it still make the money right yeah yeah and we never made those signs i mean those signs no one brought that those with those signs you don't just you have to go get them throw them away yeah i think about that because there's a lot of towns they put the mayor

Starting point is 01:27:50 of the town like on the sign like in nashville they do that you're like every time there's like a new mayor they gotta like change it every so like your first thing in office is like five hundred thousand dollars just to put your name on the town. On where? Like an interstate sign? No, no, no. Like welcome to Nashville. And then a lot of time it'll say mayor. But I always think it's like on a thing that hangs.

Starting point is 01:28:12 But you still have to replace those if you lose. If it's costing $500,000. Yeah, we got to work on that. What town are you in charge of, Justin? You're the mayor. Half a million. I mean, you're just getting robbed left and right. $500,000 to go change stuff.

Starting point is 01:28:26 I mean, every street that leaves your town has one of those signs. So if you have a large enough town, like Oklahoma City is like a large landmass, even though there's not like a lot of people, there's a large, so like there's a bunch of interstates and highways and roads.

Starting point is 01:28:40 So you have to change those every time a mayor, so like it could easily be five hundred thousand dollars there's no just i'm telling you i hope it signs are i knew a guy i knew a guy some reason i'll be okay with it if it's fine hold on i gotta let me all right okay so the i knew a guy that made signs like his he had like a sign company like he did like the crushed glass reflective sign company oh yeah that was whole thing. That's crushed glass? Yeah. That's funny.

Starting point is 01:29:06 They make it to a fine power almost. So when light hits it, it reflects. So that's what he made. He made signs like that and tape and all that stuff. And he goes, you would not believe how much street signs cost. Would he always just vote for the opposite person just to keep business going? I don't. I mean, that's brilliant.

Starting point is 01:29:28 I mean, it's so great. Yeah. You fund tax for. And you're like, some reason Oklahoma, they're like, dude, they barely last out here. You're like, this guy is just putting so much money behind the opposite thing. Well, when all the men went off to fight the war, the women went into the workforce to build a lot of this stuff. And that's how, like, Rosie the Riveter was, you know, Rosie the Riveter.

Starting point is 01:29:58 It's kind of like Uncle Sam, a fictitious. Oh, is it the girl with the flexing muscle? Yeah. Angela had a special where she did that it was just kind of a symbol of women power and we can do it

Starting point is 01:30:09 and stuff like that so they went into the workforce and then all the the wives complained to their husbands getting shot in the

Starting point is 01:30:17 shoulder they go you think you had a rough day today I was at work as they start complaining oh suzy was just bam and the husband's like i mean i was like almost killed by like people came out of a tunnel and it was like pretty wild but what happened

Starting point is 01:30:38 well we had an office party i didn't remember my birthday. And then the movie A League of Their Own. Well, let's get to that next. So sports got really upended. I mean, it's pretty crazy that the greatest athletes of our time were fighting a war. And in baseball,

Starting point is 01:30:57 especially, Ted Williams like actively fought. Yeah, that's crazy. He won the Triple Crown and then the next year he's fighting their war. That's why you almost

Starting point is 01:31:04 got to be like, they're the best baseball players of all time. For him to have all the records and, like, you know. Oh, my gosh. Holly just came in. She got a haircut. Christmas cut. Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:31:19 And then they put stuff on her that she likes. She got a haircut before this and the the top of it was crooked because we went they went to like pet smarts and and uh and the top was just like so the past like two or three weeks she just her hair has been flat and just look like a cowlick at the top just some you know whoever just a kid just was like that's good yeah you know yeah the super the super cuts of yeah yeah we took her to the super cuts yeah uh she got a massage watch the game uh we uh uh i don't know what i was talking you were talking about ted williams in baseball but isn't that like you should just go like you're number one because you had to fight a war so we're

Starting point is 01:32:01 just you because you have the records right he has all the records and we just imagine you'd have even more oh yeah and you had to fight and that's crazy crazy joe dimaggio went too but they kept him from serving why they thought i don't know what the difference between him and ted williams is but what i read was he was such a national treasure he asked to fight but the powers that be kept him from active duty. I mean, he was in the military, but didn't actively fight. Ted Williams are like, just. He's just like a mule they throw out there.

Starting point is 01:32:33 Ted Williams, get on out of there. So they did create this women's baseball league. League of Their Own is a great movie. Great movie. It is really good. I just watched it not long ago again, and it holds up. It's really great. Now there's a series I haven't seen now called A League of Their Own. Probably not

Starting point is 01:32:50 good. Yeah. What they don't say in the movie is there were some differences. The ball was the size of a softball and the... So they played softball. Well, they still pitched overhand, but the ball was bigger. Yeah. And the bases weren't 90 feet apart. they were like 60 the field was

Starting point is 01:33:08 a bit smaller yeah it's something that that's uh a very beautiful thing though like it's i was making fun of yeah the women working that but it is it's very it'd be very prideful to go you go into places and you see women working and the women on the field and you're like man that's it's like the country like just coming together it's gotta be pretty special

Starting point is 01:33:29 that's something you don't feel like it's hard to feel that now so to feel that back then would be I mean pretty yeah totally

Starting point is 01:33:36 everyone stepped up yeah yeah that's awesome and then once the guys came home the women went back in the kitchen yeah

Starting point is 01:33:42 well that you know so we're gonna keep playing baseball again. That's a joke. That's a joke. Well, that's the great thing about the movie A League of Their Own. Whether true or not, it's good in the story. Gina Davis was this really great player. But when her husband came back, she's like, I want to start a family.

Starting point is 01:33:59 Yeah. So she didn't want to keep playing. And some of the other women did. But she was the best. Yeah. But she did play. No, she went back. Didn't she go back? back didn't she go back well she finished the season she finished the season yeah i think she quit yeah yeah yeah yeah uh in football college football there was so much disruption um that they had to play the rose bowl in north carolina wow mainly that was because

Starting point is 01:34:23 pearl harbor just happened they're like we don't need to be that close to the West Coast where somebody could attack us. So they played the... So we go cancel the game? No, no, we're still doing it. Let's go... Durham, North Carolina. Yeah, it's crazy to think they go...

Starting point is 01:34:37 Like, if you're that... Like, well, all right, what do you want to move it to? Arizona or something like that? They go, no, no, no, no. I want to... Let's get out of here. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:34:44 So middle of the country? No, no, no. No, no, no. I want to, let's get out of here. You know what I mean? Yeah. So middle of the country? No, no, no. No, no, no. Well, almost to the other coast. How far can we go? Yeah. I'm pretty sure Oklahoma State won a national championship

Starting point is 01:34:53 about that time, too. So that tracks with, there's all this chaos. And you're like, hey, how about we just sneak one, how about we sneak a championship in here real quick? I look, because I thought that might have been when Vanderbilt claimed theirs. I was hoping it would be. Vanderbilt's was in 1921

Starting point is 01:35:08 and 1922, which is even better because that's when the pandemic was going on when they're probably the only team playing. We did it though. Yeah, I like that. Only ones that had a cure. In the NFL, there were so few players that weren't in the war,

Starting point is 01:35:24 they combined some teams. So the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles became the Steagals. Okay. That's cool. That's probably a cool shirt to have. You had a Steagals shirt. Yeah. I bet Aaron has a hat.

Starting point is 01:35:35 I'm sure those fan bases really liked joining together. Yeah, yeah. Hopefully they did it for each other. They threw car batteries at each other. Oh, I forgot that Operation Mincemeat, one of the guys who came up with the idea was Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond. Oh, wow.

Starting point is 01:35:53 And I think I mentioned in a previous episode, the Spies episode, that he knew a guy that tipped the U.S. off, or tipped the U.S. off about Pearl Harbor, but nobody listened to him. There's a conspiracy theory that they knew Pearl Harbor was going to happen, but the U.S. wanted to go to the war, but people at home were like, no, we don't want to go to war, so they let it happen to have a reason to go to war.

Starting point is 01:36:16 Oh, wow. I've heard that. Of course you have. Have you? Because he wrote it. No, I have heard that, but yeah, who knows? Well, we haven't talked about Hitler, but there's conspiracies about how he really died, which I'm assuming you know all about.

Starting point is 01:36:34 Well, yeah. I mean, well, some people say he went off to Argentina with his wife, and then they lived out their life there. Right. A lot of the Nazi leaders, they feel like escaped to south america well a lot of them came to america still here yeah i mean then and you know like warner von braun who you're talking about being at that i mean i think he was a scientist in world war ii from germany yeah that's how i started my set yeah i mean von braun other von braun center yeah i mean warner von braun yeah he's one of in World War II from Germany. Yeah, that's how I started my set. Yeah, I mean, Von Braun, oh, the Von Braun Center.

Starting point is 01:37:07 Yeah, I mean, Warner Von Braun, yeah, he's one of the founders of NASA, was from, you know, the war. Did he, was he on their side? I think so. Do they know, like, how did that even, yeah, how does that even happen? Well, I think he escaped from there, right?

Starting point is 01:37:22 And then he came here and helped us develop technology. I don't i mean i think the idea being well he's a scientist and he's got a lot of information now so why why kill this guy when we could use this information when we could name a sinner after him yeah yeah yeah yeah well it's hauntsville i mean uh volkswagen was started that company was started by the nazis and uh and then last week alice alice molano yeah alissa molano she gave up her tesla because elon musk said i'm gonna drive a volkswagen now did uh yeah that's crazy that's great so they came so what was yeah because there's another documentary or something on Netflix. Like I never watched it, but yeah.

Starting point is 01:38:05 Wikipedia says he was a member of the Nazi party and a word. I don't know. And yeah. And then as well as a leading figure in the development of rocket technology and Nazi Germany, and later a pioneer of rocket and space technology in the united states yeah it's a very that's a very weird thing like it's uh because it's like so visa leader the nazi party that's like being even though it's not now we know what it is but it would be like

Starting point is 01:38:35 being a democrat or republican like it was like that's what it was it was like a party right yeah yeah so it's and then uh but that is, like, for what that party did, it is crazy that you're like, these dudes just don't, like, you know, it makes you think the government obviously doesn't care. If you're like, if you're going to use, I mean, we're using the guy. You're like, well, now we use him. And then you're like, but now he's named stuff after him, and then you're like.

Starting point is 01:39:02 Yeah, it's wild. I think that too. I mean, because huntsville is really a lot of stuff with his name on it yeah but i guess if you're a scientist you're not a you're not making the laws you're not you know coming up with that you're just doing your science stuff yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean i don't have the answer but i do think that's interesting yeah that is interesting i mean it's like it's yeah so Hitler, I mean, the common accepted thing is he committed suicide, he and his new wife, and they burned their bodies.

Starting point is 01:39:33 But when they did a recent autopsy or DNA or something on part of the skull, it came back to be not him, a woman or something like that. So there's these conspiracy theories. One, that he escaped to South America, like you said, Argentina. There's another one, Dusty, that the Nazis were really into hollow earth. Oh, yeah. I've heard that too. And that they all escaped to Antarctica, this hollow earth.

Starting point is 01:39:59 Yeah. I just really left that open for you to tell us about it. Well, I mean, I don't, you know, I don't. I'm just pulling the clock. I didn't even read it. I just like, Dust open for you to tell us about it. Well, I mean, I don't, you know, I don't. I'm just pulling the clock. I didn't even read it. I just like, Dusty, take over. Well, I don't know a lot about the Howl Earth stuff, but they talk about Antarctica.

Starting point is 01:40:12 They do seem to have, they do seem to do a lot of things in Antarctica. Like major political leaders are always going down to Antarctica to do things. Like John Kerry's been down there a bunch. Like some, just a bunch of people go down there and it's like, what are you guys up to down there? And I guess some people say that in the hollow earth world,

Starting point is 01:40:34 what people believe that that would be the entrance there in Antarctica. So saying the earth is hollow? Yeah, so like inside the earth, there's a lot of stuff going on that people live in there yeah yeah i was watching this history movie called godzilla versus king kong yeah and that's what happened they took king kong down to antarctica and i think he went into his yeah there is a king kong movie where they go into that and it's the one i just said i don't know if it was king kong

Starting point is 01:41:01 versus godzilla okay that they did that they They also did it in Alien versus Predator. Did they? Yeah, Mr. Hip. Yeah. But the King Kong movie I saw was really great. I don't think that was King Kong versus Godzilla, but they went in the earth. And it's pretty wild. But, you know, I'm not, I don't buy into the...

Starting point is 01:41:21 Hollow earth? I think the earth could be very deep, and there's some caves and cavernous that we don't know about that goes very deep. But I don't think the the hollow earth i think the earth could be very like very deep and there's some caves and cavernous that we don't know about that goes very deep yeah i don't think the earth is hollow yeah it'd have to be circle for that hey you know i mean yeah i can't argue with that man says something man says i don't you know he goes i'm I can't argue with that. The man says something, the man says something. I don't know, you know, he goes, I'm just sitting here having a good time. Yeah, exactly.

Starting point is 01:41:52 There were some rumors that the Nazis, I thought we were going to have a lot more on Hollow Earth. So we're kind of at the end. I don't know anything about this. So they could live there and people, what are the temperature is? In Hollow Earth? Yeah. King Kong seemed to be fine without a sweater i mean if you follow the matrix line of thought the warm the further down you go the more oh that's in matrix they're in hollow earth yeah well no they're in they're further they burrow down into the air so the idea in the matrix is

Starting point is 01:42:20 that the earth is molten and so the the core is so cold that they've had to drill down into the earth to be warm like to stay warm oh but that doesn't mean it's hollow that's just like they drilled there and maybe yeah yeah so it kind of flies in the yeah the matrix universe flies in the way of dusty yeah yeah it would be uh i would think yeah i mean i mean that's what they say right i mean that's what they say is that there's lava in the center of the earth right even though they've never been able to get down there they're like that's what's down there we just assume because volcanoes erupt that that's what's in there but so it would make sense if you got closer to it it would be hot yeah but if you dig into the ground it gets colder yeah you know i've never been like

Starting point is 01:43:13 i need to warm up let's do the hole well they but you're supposed to dig a hole if you're out in the uh get stuck out in the wilderness you dig a hole and lay to the ground no no they tell you did they tell you to lay the ground because or you lose your heat no i think you're supposed to lay on the ground yeah to get warm yeah but no yeah it's actually put something you put something underneath you because otherwise you will lose your temperature to the ground which is true now i'm back with dusty oh boy i may want to shut that computer out are Are you talking about, because I know if you're in the desert, you have a campfire.

Starting point is 01:43:50 You're supposed to take coals from the campfire and then bury them, and then you lay on top of them. No, no. This is saying, like if you were stuck out in the, like just you get lost, stuck in the wild, you need to lay on leaves and stuff, because otherwise all your heat will go to the ground you'll be much more colder so you need some kind of and you could get wet i guess too

Starting point is 01:44:11 like just a moisture yeah i don't i i could be all backwards on this but i think that's the way it goes yeah it seems like it makes sense and then you know so yeah if it would get colder it's true i wonder how far but if you go way down. You should go to a rock quarry and be like, does it feel hotter? That's true. So if you're hot, I would think if you get down in the dirt, it would cool you down. Yeah. But a cave stays the exact same temperature. And it's never, it's not hot, but it's like 70 or something or 68.

Starting point is 01:44:42 So it does not get colder if you go to a cave. Like you can go to a cave, it's always the same temperature. Right, like at night, it's not colder at night than it is in the daytime. No, yeah. So your definition of hot could be it's not lava. I'm so glad Warner Von Braun came over here and helped us out with some stuff.

Starting point is 01:45:02 I mean, so by that logic, that means that volcanoes are like lava pimples, is what you're saying. Yeah. Because the idea being that since we have volcanoes, that must mean that inside the earth is lava. But I'm saying, yeah, maybe we just have these

Starting point is 01:45:19 lava pits. We're not all pus. We're not all water. A pus when you have a yeah you know we're not right we're all pimples just a small part of a human body yeah and not always active i mean not always you know i mean it's not you know what i mean the pimple like a volcano listen dusty i'm not converting but i'm listening yeah okay like i'm not you're making some there's some solid yeah some solid things. I like it.

Starting point is 01:45:45 I mean, I like it. There's some rumors that... Go ahead and hit her, Brian. Sorry, Brian. You got taller. Brian, head back to Hitler. There were rumors that the Nazis had developed a death ray that could kill soldiers from a long distance.

Starting point is 01:45:59 So the British offered a prize for whoever could zap a sheep from 100 paces. Back then, that's kind of how they... Paces was a big thing. But no one could do it. But while experimenting, they invented radar, which helped them defeat the Germans. Because now they could spot... Yeah.

Starting point is 01:46:16 Who came up with that plan? Oh, the Nazis. There was a rumor that the Nazis had a death ray. Yeah. Could kill you from far away. So then the Nazis started fighting Germany. What? You said this, so they defeated Germany?

Starting point is 01:46:31 Did we get the death ray? No, there was no death ray. Who made the radar? The British invented while trying to come up with something to zap a sheep. Yeah, I think you said the Nazis invented it, then they defeated Germany. That's what I think I got confused. Okay. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:46:49 That didn't make sense. So there was no death ray. There was no death ray. There was no death ray, but there was a rumor. Oh, the British got a rumor that the Nazis made death ray. So then the British, I didn't catch that. Okay. So the British then said, you go make, we go make our own death.

Starting point is 01:47:03 That's right. So they were trying to invent it their own. But then they made radar. Yeah. Okay. They were trying to zap a sheep. Yeah. We don't know if they did make the depth.

Starting point is 01:47:11 A sheep? Yep. Yep. Yeah. From 100 paces. Sheep don't move quick, so you can keep it there for a while. I guess so, yeah. You know, if it's something fast, you'd be, it's 100 paces.

Starting point is 01:47:22 Now, 200, it's already gone. But a sheep, you're like, 100 paces, it'll be there for most of the day. Yeah. You know, if it's something fast, you'd be a tonner pace. Now, 200, it's already gone. But a sheep, you're like, tonner paces, it'll be there for most of the day. Yeah. You said it's England that came up with the 100 paces? British. He said British. Yeah, but they're English. He said British came up with it.

Starting point is 01:47:34 Sorry. Justin, people listen to this. Information. It just kind of makes me. I'm going to British on tour. Which is like, the British are the reason we have the wonky foot meter, or like foot yard system. So for them to be like paces on top of that too, it's like, man, use your system. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:47:55 That's like crazy. Oh, that's why the British, they used. Yeah, because like the foot and yard are all like measurements that they coined. That's why we use them because we were colonies. And then, oh, and everybody else said meters. Well, the metric system kind of- Some people get mad at us and we're like, it ain't our fault, dude. Yeah, but that's why they think it's crazy because you're like, paces.

Starting point is 01:48:16 You're like, no, use your wonky system. Use your system. Don't start doing another thing out there. That's why we're all turned around. Yeah. Yeah, that is true. Yeah, we've all been doing yards out here now you're throwing in paces we're trying to build a death ray we're trying to build it because what about a bat bomb

Starting point is 01:48:36 what are they that is funny to call it a death ray they They go, what is it? It's a ray of death. Yeah. And he goes, yeah. What if you do some big, long name? And there it goes. I don't like that name. Death ray. Death ray.

Starting point is 01:48:52 There you go. All right. All right. Yeah. That's probably a good place to stop. Probably a good place to stop. Yeah. The old death ray. Yeah.
