Thanks, man. man did good happy to have you back dude yeah i'm excited to be back i missed everybody uh i missed all you guys listening uh yeah it's fun to be back it's a long run i watched the documentary last night on nwo yeah that's your nwo fan right the wrestling wrestling yes yeah, I should have been more specific. Not a fan of the other one. I should have been more specific. But he does think it's coming. So go ahead.

And they showed us how to do it. They showed us how they're going to do it. Well, I was talking about wrestling. Yes. The New World Order came in and take over, and they would spray paint. That's what we were trying to do. Your innocent brain. Yeah.

I didn't even know there was another one. yeah uh but they were trying to take over yeah i mean that was the storyline but it didn't work that's what we were trying to do but then vince mcmahon comes back yeah sorry sorry i couldn't let it go well i started like because i think people were wondering if i listened and i started to listen to it but once i remembered i wasn't on it i was like i don't know i was like i don't know if i can get through this uh what's the point yeah it's no i think uh i saw like some of it that's like the the beginning of this is very funny uh yeah y'all were great y'all did great yeah i think they were hot podcasts we are glad you're back but i think they were hot podcasts yeah yeah yeah that's awesome well they both got a little taste of your seat over there

oh yeah brian and Y'all felt that. I never did. I always respect what's happening here. I appreciate that. So I stay in my seat. And I noticed that. I noticed that. And you will be rewarded.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I saw bad land. But at first, I was like, I didn't know what that meant. Then it made sense. And more weight than one. Yeah. I think the first one, everybody was really on board.

By the second one, they're like, all right, let's get Nate back. Yeah, the second one prompted lots of bad comments about me on the Nateland podcast page. Yeah. Well, not a lot. Many of which I started. Yeah. Well, you're like a dog that we can let on a leash and if it gets

and someone's got to be there to kind of kind of pull back in yeah you gave me too much line too much line yeah yeah it's like the day it's like the whole neighborhood called and go hey is your dog out and you're you know and dusty the dog was running i was running wild running wild one more week it would have really gotten out of control yeah the podcast becomes completely different

yeah I have to take the name Nate Land off of it the Nate Land brand can't be a part of this podcast exactly yeah when Nate is not here

you're like I don't even do a podcast yeah I would start every episode every episode going forward now I'm gonna go this does not represent me

or my these expressed in this podcast do not reflect the Nate Land world Every episode going forward now, I'm going to go, this does not represent me or my. These expressions of this podcast do not reflect it. The Nate Land world. There was one thread that was really trash and dusty. And there was nothing on TV that night. And I sat down. There was about 200 comments.

I'm like, this is going to be good. The thread wasn't trashing me, though, for the record. The comment started. You're right. But that's all. But I saw the comment. I saw 200 comments. I popped popcorn. I'm like, I that's all, but I saw the comment. I saw 200 comments. I popped popcorn. I'm like,

I'm going to be in for a good night. It got ratioed, as they say, you know, where you don't, you get less likes than you do comments. Oh, yeah?

Yeah. That's what ratioing means? Yeah, when, like if somebody makes a comment and then it gets more comments than it does likes, that means people are

disagreeing with you. Yeah, they're disagreeing with you. Oh. Now, there were some people that agreed.'m not gonna say but it was one comment i i brought that i that i wanted to read yeah if you guys are into that this was my favorite one yeah you don't know how into this i am this is my favorite comment of the whole thing let's see i'm the ship came prepared well while he's looking that up yeah I'm really enjoying it and then there's somebody

that says well Dusty's not the problem Brian's the one only one on there not funny and then someone tries to defend me

and says which always makes it worse there's that well he has to play the straight guy on there yeah and but his stand-up's very funny

and then the guy said I've seen his stand-up it's not funny at all you played the straight man in your standup alone. You go, guys, I'm just here to set the stage. You should be making these jokes in your own head as the audience. So that's not really on, that's on them. Yeah. I don't have to, shouldn't have to do everything here. That is true. I think that's a very fair thing to do. You could go to the audience and go,

if you're not laughing, you're not funny. because i'm setting some stuff up and it should be y'all should be just teeing off use your imagination yeah all right so this is the comment now wore a new hat okay they said uh i never cared for dusty i hate his stupid hat on top of his hair it looks bad it's a bad look and he's just not funny. All right. So that, you know, they kept it positive. Yeah.

And I like that comment. That's a lot of fun. So I changed hats. This is a new hat. I don't know how stupid this one is. Hair's the same, but different hat. I did look,

he didn't, this guy did not have hair. So I think the hair offends him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with him on that it's all right i mean people you know it is it's all fun yeah i i read like comments like i can sometimes like uh

there is even though you don't want there's constructive criticism and some of it like i've had comments where i've been like all right let me if you felt like this and you gets in your head then you're like well then, then I'll just change. I'll just make sure that – not like a hat. Yeah. Or a haircut. Yeah. Yeah, it's like I talk about being dumb a lot.

So, like, sometimes people can talk about a special – and they're like, oh, he just talks about being dumb the whole time. And then you're like, all right, well, then I don't want to do that. So, then I'm like, that's in my head. So, I'm trying to, like, figure a figure a way to like around that, you know? Yeah. But, you know, and then you can't let it go too much, you know. But there is, there's some, there's an, you got to have a little bit of like, you know, be like, all right. I don't know.

Like, you got to have a little of, yeah, I don't have it figured out. I've got to get better. You got to have a little bit of that, I think. A little bit open to criticism. Yeah, if you just go, it's all great. Too much, then I think you can go down a road to be, you know, you're just like, it's like a, you know, a fair. Like, you're just up there like just a clown, you know, and you're just up there, like, uh, just a clown,

you know, and you're just kind of hitting the hits. I don't know. That makes sense. Yeah. I mean, if there's multiple criticisms saying the same thing, there might be something to it.

Yeah. Yeah. Right. Or that person has multiple accounts. Yes. That's true. It could be that too. It could be that too.

I posted a joke. I've been doing it for 10 years, and some guy said, man, it's a good setup, just work on a harder punchline. That joke got me where I got to today. That's a backbone of my act right now. Keep it up, dude. Been doing that for a hard decade. That's going somewhere.

Yeah, you got to be able to take away the criticism. It's hard to see it and then but you got it like you got to be a bit like I don't know handle it and then just be you know just go okay I could see maybe you know I'll try to do a different little way or whatever but still be yourself be the you know don't go too far. Because some of it is like, you know, I always think, well, I talk about being dumb. You're like, I'm just trying to be, I do talk about being dumb, but it's like just as like the me not being able to turn a light on in my special is like, but then anyway, people are like, yeah, yeah, I've had that happen to me. Like, you know, and so it's like, I'm not being dumb.

It's like, I'm doing something that you've had happen to you. Right. Or like you've been, it's just talking about like a situation that's like you feel dumb in that situation um but yeah no people either want to feel superior that's why it's funny or they want to relate to you and yours is very relatable yeah you just yeah you just uh but i mean i'm not i just i just talk about the comments when we think about this. But you got to take a some, you know, sometimes you just go, change your hat, dude. Yeah. I mean, people love to criticize the way I look.

So I'm used to it. And it's just the way you look. Yeah. I mean, this is, yeah, this hair just grows this way. I didn't straighten it before I came in. If you see Dusty at Home Depot. This is how I look. This is how it's going to look.

That is what he will be wearing. Yeah, yeah. It's not, you know, you're you're you yeah i'm yeah i mean there are there is a comedian i know that has fake hair but that's not me who's that well i think i think everyone donnie baker is a comic you know he does the fake hair thing you know oh he does yeah it's i didn't know that yeah i mean i'm not i don't know donnie baker but um i'm sure he's great i think you will now yeah but he i mean i think i think it's known that he does a thing right he oh his thing his hair is fake in the in the in his act his hair is fake i

don't think oh no i don't know that's my understanding yeah yeah yeah i mean he probably has his own real hair. Yeah. I'm not trying to trash Donnie Baker here. No, no. I think he's very funny. Yeah. Yeah, he's very silly, very good.

Like, it's very funny. But he does a character. Yeah. Yeah, Donnie Baker's a character. Yeah, and you're you. Yeah. I mean, yeah, this is me. Yeah.

You wish you were a character. Yeah. You wish you could turn that off. Yeah, sometimes I wish I'd take off the hat and the hair comes with this is me. Yeah. You wish you were a character. You wish you could turn that off. Yeah, sometimes I wish I'd take off the hat and the hair comes with it. Yeah. But when I get comments like that, then I'm like, well, now I can't get a haircut for 10 years. Yeah. Just because I don't want that guy to think he had an influence.

Do you know what I mean? Would you want to get a haircut? Sometimes I do want to get a haircut. You know, throughout my life, I've had a lot of hairstyles. We talked about this, but it's like, now I feel like I am kind of like stuck into a haircut and i like to change it up i had bleached hair for a while i was a real slim shady looking guy for a while what would you do if you cut it like cut it like mine or something or like yeah i think i would not quite as short yeah but yeah something like that give myself a little part. Oh. Yeah. Down the middle?

Yeah, not down the middle, but a little to the side here. I know a woman comment. I mean, for a year, every video would just comment, Aaron needs to shave his beard. And it bothered me because I know there's a little kernel of, yeah, I probably should take care of it a little more than I do. But now I will never shave it. We're way up there now. Yeah. All right. We're way up there now. Yeah. All right. We're real.

People are listening. Uh-huh. So, boys. Be aware of that. Be aware. People are out there, and they're listening. So, welcome. If people are new, I'm excited that you're here.

Give us a chance, as a lot of us will tell you, the folks and us included. Yeah. It would take a little bit to get used to. got to settle into you got to settle into it uh but it's a you know we're here it's a fun ride uh and it's fun to be you know like it's um i've liked you know like with this special came out uh when my special came out it's like also it's like when you listen to this it's like the fun, it's like we're just fun. Yeah. It's trying to be fun. And I've never been more confident in what we're building now than ever, just to be a good time.

Yeah, we're having a good time here. I went and watched, I saw Sandler, Adam Sandler's show at Bridgestone. And it's so fun. I mean, he's much dirtier, but everybody knows Adam Sandler. But it's very, very fun. People have a lot of fun. Even Bert Kroish, when you watch Bert's show, it's very fun. And you see the audience that wants to have fun.

And it's just very rewarding to be like, you go to these shows and you're like, man, these are just good times. People that want a break. They just want a break, right? Yeah, they want a break. They want to have a good time. They want to, it's just go have a good time, man. It's fun. It's a fun thing.

You know, like Bert, like Bert has everybody, everybody stands up and sings the national anthem. Start singing, you know, and it's when you, and if I tell you that, you'd be like, well, I don't know how that's possible. And I didn't either. And then you watch it and then you end up doing it. Where does that come in at the show? They just.

I would just say you'd have to go watch it. Okay. Because it comes in and it makes sense when it comes in. Yeah. And then you are doing it too. Okay. I love it. And it's just.

Yeah. And it's just nice. I'm into it. Yeah. It's just nice. Everybody's doing it. And you're like, man, this is awesome. Like I like all of this.

Yeah. And the way he sets it up is very nice. And like it's, it makes And it's just fun, dude. It's a fun time. And you're like, that's what... It's crazy that we're in a world now that you have to pay for... You have to go find fun. You have to go find it.

You know? That's what's... Fun is just not available. What do you mean? It's just not as accessible. I feel like fun used to be all the movies, all the TV show, everything used to be fun. Like entertain, it was all entertainment. And now you got to kind of reach, you got to go find it.

Everything's like a little bit of a lesson now where it's like, oh no, I just want some fun. It's either a lesson or it's like a murder show. Yeah. Like, I mean, you know, it's like NCIS or it's like a murder show yeah like yeah i mean you know it's like ncis and what's next another ncis like each show after on tv is just like a crime show yeah and then so everything's and it's the news and then it's 60 minutes you know and then everything's like kind of so you got to go if you want you know your tg was, you knew you could sit down for, what, two hours? And it's going to be like fun.

It's a family fun show. Even sports, they like to put a little drama in there where I'm like, oh, I just want to watch the game. But they're like, they got to tell you about tragedy in the people's lives to try to make the game more interesting. And I'm like, I enjoy the game. Yeah. I just enjoyed the tragedy in the game. Yes. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I wanted to ask you in the game. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I wanted to ask you about Adam Sandler, but you mentioned it. So you saw him this weekend. Saw him this weekend. I saw the picture with you and him. Kevin James. Kevin James. Yeah, I think I sent you that pic.

Yeah. Have you ever met him before? No. In person? No. With Kevin, we were going to maybe do uh i think we were gonna try to do something together like a long time ago i never met him but i knew like his him and his team wanted to try to figure something out and it just didn't work out uh but uh i never i never met him

i met his brother gary valentine you might not know that that's his brother's gary valentine who's a comedian comedian who plays his cousin in king of queens yes yeah so uh but i'm a giant kevin james fan like sweat the small stuff is one of the best specials i agree and uh i was i was happy to tell him that because i think a guy like him is he had that special then he got sitcoms and like gets out of that world and so it's a guy that started as a comic and sometimes the older comics like they don't get to hear like you're like yo we all love that special right and so i it's fun to talk to them about that special uh and how that was a big impact like i remember watching it and that's another one that was just so fun and funny uh and so and then i got to meet, obviously, Sandler, who I've interacted with just like email or he called me one time. And then, but it's the first time I got to meet him.

And it was awesome. And we took this picture. And it's funny, my face is, my poster's right behind him. Sneaking a promo from your own show in the background. Yeah, yeah. And it's just the video plays. I jokingly said, let's take it in front of my – because my face was just on another screen. Yeah. But then we took a picture.

We took one face in the other way. They were like, well, this is – the lighting was bad, so they go, turn this way. And it just happened to be like – All right. Which, by the way, the Bridgestone show, which we are all doing, very limited tickets left. Wow. I can tell you that. It's not a lot.

Not a lot at all. And so all you guys will be on it. My dad's on it. It's going to be an awesome night. It's going to be a crazy night. So if you have tickets, I hope you have tickets. It's, yeah, I mean, I want to say in the hundreds. Maybe a couple hundred tickets left.

It might even be less than that. That's crazy. It might even be close to sold out by now. But we want it to be sold out to be 16,000-something people. That's amazing. It's crazy. It's going to be wild. It's crazy.

And, I mean, it's going to be in the round. So the way, way like my special was shot where you're gonna everybody's kind of around in a circle and uh we're gonna make it a fun night and uh so yeah it's gonna make it it's gonna you know i'm excited for everybody everybody's gonna be there and come out and uh you know just have a good time. But yeah, so we got to, after we did this, I went and ate with Adam and his crew and Kevin. And it was, I mean, the best, dude, the best. Like just super fun.

Yeah, I mean, they seem so fun. I mean, Kevin James, I mean, King of Queens, even Hitch is, I mean, it's like a romantic comedy. I love it. I'm a big fan. Yeah, even Hitch is, I mean, it's like a romantic comedy. I love it. I'm a big fan. Yeah. It's fun because I was like getting to talk to them about being in New York. I asked them what their spot pay was.

So like you get paid when you do spots in New York. So you jump around to these clubs and you get paid. We got paid. I got paid $25 a spot for Sunday to Thursday. And then, hold on. Sorry. i'm sorry keep it going uh uh 25 uh 25 spots sunday thursday and then 75 for when i was there thursday to or uh friday to saturday and then so they were – I asked them, and he was like, I think it was $10 and $40. And then I didn't realize, like, Attell went to – I mean,

Sandler went to college with Dave Attell at NYU. So they got started somewhat around the same time. Like, when Sandler was just starting, then he said Attell was like, are you doing comedy? He's like, you want to do comedy too? Whoa. So just talking about their crew that's a big like you know it might probably everywhere but like in new york you kind of go like who was who

was like your crew that you you want to know like when people were in like for me it was like big j kermet's curvecione soda uh you know joe list it was was a lot of – then Kumail Nanjiani, Amy Schumer, like DeRose, like all this was kind of – so then you're kind of like, who was your crew? And it was like – I think Colin, he said Colin Quinn was like the older – was like a little bit older than Sandler, like kind of the older guy. And then it was like Sandler and then – I mean, I think Spade and all them, like all them running in.

And Kevin James was more in Long Island. I want to say it was Ray. Ray Romano might have been probably in their crew or whatever. But it's very neat to talk. You just told a bunch of old stories. I was talking about doing cruise ships. Like, you know, I performed on cruise ships when I first started. They both have two, which I was very surprised.

Yeah, that's crazy. Like, I didn't know, Kevin James performed on a couple, then Sandler performed on a couple. Like as Sandler and Kevin James, but just, yeah. But just comics. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, just they were the comic on it. No one knew them.

That's fine. Yeah. Yeah. And then yeah. They were the comic on it. No one knew them. That's fine. Yeah. Because you'd think that with Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy, you'd always be like, is he just famous? It's almost you just think they're just famous. Because he was so young when he was. He was so young.

But there's been stories. He has stories about going. It just was much shorter term, but he would go do these New Jersey kind of clubs or go do a fire hall or go do these kind of weird clubs. There's some video of him at the comic strip, and Eddie Murphy's doing the ice cream bit. And I think Eddie Murphy is Eddie Murphy then maybe, but you're seeing him work out his material, which on a small stage. Him doing the ice cream thing you just see it at this big kind of it's a you know the movie theater it's a big big special one of the most

famous specials and then now you get to see him at like the comic strip in front of 70 people and it's so weird to like see that but yeah getting being with them was i if anybody wants to know what i'm trying to do, I want to do what Sandler did. That's what I'm, that's what I hope Nate land can become as a whole is I, I that's what I want this to be is and even seeing Sandler, I want it more than I've even realized. Now I really like what that, that guy built a world and his world is super fun.

And you get to see a lot of his funny friends and his buddies that he started with and all this. And it's and it's a it's a that's that's what I want to make. And I want to be able to hopefully make, you know, TV, a TV show or make movies where, you know, know tv a tv show or make movies where you know if the naitland brand is obviously cleaner than the sandler uh you know even though sandler's is pg-13 it's not really like and aaron can be your kevin james it can be well i need him to shave that beard uh but uh it's but that's what i want it to be is like where it's like, that's why like we're doing Vecchione special Greg Warren, which should be coming out late March. Mike Vecchione special Greg Warren's about to Joe Zimmerman's like,

you know, you guys are on this podcast. Everybody's going to see you guys on the road. Like it's not Nate land, even though my name's in it's like, it's, I want it to be, it's not about me.

It's about what I want it to be it's not about me it's about what I want you know showing comedy that can be family friendly that can be we're not you know you're not gonna make comedy for kids but if kids hear it you don't want parents to have to shut it off and I like being you know a lot of comics

you know I gotta see Kevin James I gotta see Sinbad like I gotta see all these comics that I saw when I was little that I wouldn't have been allowed to watch. Not Kevin James, I wasn't little because it was later. But Sinbad, Afros, and Bell Bottoms, I remember watching that as a kid. And we were allowed to watch it because it was clean. And so that has always stuck with me because I felt like I was watching an adult thing. I loved Sinbad as a kid.

And he was talking about going to McDonald's. And I knew what McDonald's was. And it's like, you know, and you relate, like that stuff, that had such a giant impact on me as a kid that like, I wanted to be able to have that for, you know, like, not that I'm trying to be Sinbad, but you know what I mean? Like, I like that when kids can come to a show and they can relate to it. And that's what I want this to be. Like where we can eventually be making, I to make a make movies or make and stuff that people can go watch that's you know you don't have to

feel you know i don't know i would just be who we are and have stuff be funny so that's my template is kind of what sandler did and i loved when you the people in the crowd were wearing like his you know boucher jerseys and stuff you know happy gilmore thing or whatever and it's it's like man that's awesome like it's he's created this world when he goes out that it's it's you're just there and you're like it's the you know as you say he's the sand man like it's just and you're like his buddy watching him on stage too in front of that many people as getting to go perform now in these arenas. It was great to watch too, because it's such a giant room.

And then seeing him up there just be, it really felt like you're just like, you're like, oh, we could all be friends with him. And you really could. Like, I mean, I was fortunate being a comedian. I got to go actually hang out with him afterwards. But you're like, yeah, it was just hanging out, dude. Like he was like, he's a normal, as normal of a dude.

We went in to eat. I went to Jeff Ruby's, the big famous steak place here in Nashville. It was awesome. And they had some dessert they brought dessert thing out that was like i mean my calories were not good i've been doing somewhat good and then like this dessert came out and you're like this is insane yeah uh but it's you know it's him and his crew like there's a bunch of them and and they were all just, like, that's what's better, just laughing, like, just being fun. And it's, yeah, he's as normal as a guy as big and famous as that guy could be.

I mean, he's got to be one of the more normal people. Yeah, that's great to hear. I would, yeah. Because that guy has every reason to not be normal. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, he's been famous since I was a little kid. I mean, I'm watching him on SNL. I used to have Happy Gilmore on VHS that I just left in the VCR.

It just played all the time. Yeah. Someone commented that Dusty is Bobby Boucher's mom because everything's the devil. Yeah. She's right about that. I mean, I can agree with Kathy Bates in a lot of movies. It's the devil yeah she's right about that i mean i can agree with kathy bates in a lot of movies yeah it's the devil yeah look at and look at the stars he gets to go to those movies oh yeah and like you know like that's why his like they always say like the critics never

liked his stuff and then you talk to you know you watched all those people in that audience. I mean, he's the proof of, he's making stuff for the audience. And that's what I want, Neyland. You're making stuff, not say everybody's going to like everything. Like, that's the point of this. Like, you might not like, you might like some, you might not like all. You might be like, yeah, this movie I liked. I didn't really care for that one. But like, it was like, whatever it is.

Every time there's the negative negative you're always pointing at me but you might like this you might not like that you might like this you might not care for some of that but no it's but it's that's what makes it great it's like it's a world that you got like

now it's got to be like everything's so direct like I didn't care for that and they pointed that one thing like where it's like no no we're just it's trying to be you know sandler built an entire thing that you're going to have your favorite movies and you're going to but overall you're going to be like i like them all i you know every one of them you can watch and go like i did like that was still fun yeah even movies that he's not a part, like Happy Madison, like Joe Dirt is Happy Madison. And it's incredible. It's so great.

Yeah. And I don't know, it's just such a long list of movies. The Rob Schneider, like all his movies, The Animal. That's the Adam Sandler extended universe. Yes. Essentially. That's what's- That's what I'm saying.

That's what's beautiful. Yeah. And that's what all those guys, and those guys are super loyal to him like you know i i mean i i know you know becoming friends with spade is like the way you hear them talk about uh sandler is it's just it's like it's great it's different and the way he talks about them he brought like spade and steiner up on state like not didn't bring them up but like said their names like in his buddies and but the way he talks about them, he brought Spade and Snyder up on stage. Not didn't bring them up, but said their names in his buddies. But the way he talks about them, it's just awesome. I feel like there's a thing when saying their calls, they know, yeah, just go do it.

Because it's going to be a great time. And he's going to, you know, it's, yeah, I'm a giant, giant fan of, as everybody is, of his world. And especially seeing that world now, it's like that it's even more so that I want to make sure that what we do. And so we, I know it's called Nate Lamb, but what we do is like, is we can do that, like can make this kind of stuff for, to be broader. And like, it's not about me or singular any one of us it's about creating entertainment for an audience and trying to be fun and trying to be good and trying to be whatever you know do what we think is the best and then hope people watch and enjoy and uh yeah and see and that's what we're doing. Like we have these specials coming out.

There's some other ideas that we're trying to work on. Especially in this podcast world and release those specials that we'll release on YouTube. And it's going to be, we're able to do it in a way now, like in this smaller scale, and then hopefully building it up to a TV or movies or, you know, get it bigger and, you know, just get it bigger and on a bigger scale or something, you know? That's the plan.

Yeah. It's exciting. I don't know if I've ever been able to say exactly what I wanted to do. But after seeing that, yeah, it was awesome. Well, I was at Helium Comedy Club In Indianapolis This weekend Great show

It's just such a great thing. It's a perfect venue, for sure. Yeah, yeah. Aaron, you want to tell us a little bit about Rocket Money?

No. All right. Yeah. You talk about Rocket Money just in conversation at Zane. I bring it up whenever I can because I feel like it's something people don't know about and they should because we can all benefit because I watch the games on it. If you're a Vanderbilt fan, you got to have it. You got to have it.

We're Vanderbilts on a five game? You won five in a row? Yeah, five in a row. Five in a row, doing great, very exciting. You won five in a row? Yeah, five in a row. Five in a row, doing great, very exciting. But, yeah, I noticed I had three.

It's $100, and I'm like, where is that coming from? I don't worry if I've signed up for. Well, I noticed it because when my wife and I got married, we each had our own Netflix, our own Hulu, whatever, and now we only need one so he's you know yeah you got to take care of it

yeah did you want to make sure it's going to last even when you get married I want to give it a year or two you go ease into it let's join it let's see how this first year goes

Lucy don't get crazy I go let's not get bananas here you still you keep a Paramount Plus on your own just to have some freedom? Yeah, I got my own Disney Plus. I don't tell her about it.

Yeah, yeah. You don't want to mess it up your algorithm, too. Exactly. I like my feed right now. Yeah. The old algorithm is, I just saw, yeah, that's made stuff not fun. Is it? The algorithm on some good.

The algorithm works, I guess, because you're hearing, you probably can hear about us. But like, man, it gets. It's about social media and stuff. Yeah, just all of it. Like, you're just, it's a lot. You're like, all right. It's a ton.

It's a ton. It's crazy to think I can, you know, with ads, I can just, like, there's almost, it's gotten to the point now I could be like, well, I want, you know, I'm looking for some new shoes. And then you just go, all right, I'll just say that, and then eventually shoes will pop up. Pretty quickly. Pretty quickly.

My daughter watches a video series called Miss Rachel. Oh, yeah. I'm a big fan. We never talked about it, but they play it. And now on my phone, I get all this Miss Rachel stuff Oh, yeah. I'm a big fan. We never talked about it, but they play it. And now on my phone, I get all this Miss Rachel stuff just because I guess it hurt it somehow playing. Well, Miss Rachel is my YouTube algorithm. That is not her. Is this Miss Rachel?

No, no. This is the first Google result. You're letting your daughter listen to this? No. That is not Miss Rachel. That is not her. Miss Rachel is great. It's just MS, I i think i think that's

what's throwing you off okay there's mr yeah that's that's her a little different it's so great for the kids though my daughter likes it and uh i think it helps her learn to talk and it's great yeah yeah but my algorithm now on youtube is all miss rachel peppa pig cocoa melon it's just like the whole thing is. And then like a JFK thing. Yeah, it's tough to even find a conspiracy in there now. Yeah. Well, it is a weird blend.

Yeah. It's like end of the world and Miss Rachel. Yeah. She's going to need her own channel. She's a little older. Yes, she will. Learn to talk with Miss Rachel has 30 million views on YouTube. Yeah.

Wow. Yeah, it's just fun for kids. Yeah. I wish she'd back up from the camera a little bit. Well, you got to think about the old days. You have to do this on your own. And now you just throw YouTube on. Right, exactly.

Plop your kid in front of the TV. Yeah. You know, my daughter, when Miss Rachel's husband, I think it's her husband, when he pops up, my daughter starts crying. And she goes, the guy, the guy, the guy. And I have to get it off of him. She really doesn't like men, does she? Yeah. No, she doesn't.

Is there like a story to this? What is this? She just goes through and she sings songs. I feel like, okay, or like Sesame Street, like a variety kind of. There's some puppets sometimes. Yeah, but there's stuff for kids that are like, it's just like shapes. Just like a kaleidoscope. Yeah, they could have a hundred million.

There's stuff for dogs. There's a channel for dogs. Puppy TV. Yeah, my daughter's transitioning from just the shapes and forms to, this is like a step up, Miss Rachel. This is actually some entertainment value. Yeah. I get into this.

Yeah. I know a lot of these songs. I'll tell you that. Yeah. Yeah, you sit there and sing it with them. Yeah. It's a good time. The bubble gum one or two.

Yeah, exactly. Some of these videos have 206 million views. I mean, it's just 309 million. That's a blippy guy. That's so funny you say that, Dusty. I had that stuck in my head all night. Icky, sticky, sticky, sticky bubble gum. That's how it goes.

Yeah. Yeah, it's good. That's just Rachel? Yeah. It's a lot of fun. My singing has become famous on the podcast. I don't know if you know. I sung a little bit of Lights. That's the night that the lights famous on the podcast. I don't know if you know, I sung a little bit of Lights.

That's the Night that the Lights Went Out in Georgia. Things got out of hand when you were gone. We were singing songs. I was wearing sunglasses. We were living it up over here. I did see the sunglasses. That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia. I mean, it was pretty awesome.

Why'd you wear sunglasses? Because I knew I could because you weren't here. Right out of the gate. Like a poker player just comes in. You don't know what I'm doing. You don't know what's happening. Is Aaron even here? Should we start reading some comments?

Yeah, let's do it. So this is the Valentine's Day comments. Was I on that show? No, this is last week. With John Reap? No. No. I'll go on your own.

I'm going to phone these in uh no uh mo afram have an episode about a holiday that one of the hosts does not believe in is par for the course for the nateland all right i thought there's a period there uh all right, let's get going again. Having an episode. Yeah. We're back. We're back. Yeah.

It's the, what's all this, like a period and like a posture? Like what's all this stuff called? A punctuation. Punctuation. Punctuation can get me. Some punctuation, you know, you throw it in. Or in this case, it wasn't thrown in. It was a lack of punct lack of I expected it yeah yeah

but I saw the period on the next sentence and so then I already like because that's what I that's what I realized I do is I go and then I look and I see that other period so my head goes we're about to stop and then I get to the end of the first sentence and I'm like oh damn it well it sounds like a good thing for me to me it sounds like your brain's working faster than you're reading. You're actually ahead of, you know what I mean? You're like, I could stop at any time. Yeah. I'm just trying to get ahead. But I mean, but as

sentence, I'm like, it goes back. I'm just, I put that period above. Yeah. All right. I have an episode about a holiday that one of the hosts does not believe in. It's par for the course for the Nate Land gang. Zero complaints here. Our anniversary is the week after Valentine's Day.

As a family, we enjoy a home-cooked meal and little gifts of love and appreciation of each other to celebrate Valentine's Day. Yeah, I think most family gets it. Can you guess which one of us does not believe in Valentine's? Tough one. Yeah, we did. I was in Vegas, and Laura came. She surprised me and came to Vegas. So we actually, and it was like, it was the 13th, and we were like, oh, happy Valentine's.

We actually did something for Valentine's. We just were like, this was Valentine's, our Vegas trip. And that's not a night you get off very often in comedy. No, no, no. But we didn't do anything. It was just like she came to Vegas, and I still had shows, but we watched Super Bowl the next day. So it ended up being like, happy Valentine's.

It just worked out. Yeah, I don't know about like, maybe I'll get some flowers and stuff. Maybe I'll get some for Harper. Like, you know, we've done that, you know, or something like that. Get her a gift. Yeah, you kind of, like, when you're married, it's like presents are, it's just kind of you want to be like, there's not really a point to them. You're like, even though, yeah, you do want to buy something,

but then it's also like, I don't know. It's more about the gesture, right? Yeah, you're going to just get, you're just going to go. It'd be better to have a night out because otherwise you could be like, well, if you want a sweater, then go buy this sweater. That's what I'm saying. You get gifts all year. What's this one day mean, really? Yeah, it's maybe it's for a big gift, I guess, if you're waiting for,

you know. She gets too many gifts, right? Yeah, yeah, one could say, too many gifts. Yeah.

Pamper too much. Yeah. Laura doesn't want to buy it. Laura got a new drill and that was like a big and she's very excited about that. Wow. Yeah,

it was a big thing. You using the drill too? No, I haven't seen it. I don't know where it's at. But it's got light on it. Oh, yeah.

And it took a long time. She's wanted this drill for probably three years. That's her timeline. She wants something, and then she's got to watch reviews, look for the best price. It's a whole. It's a three-year process. Yeah.

Like, you know, I've talked about this before. This is, I got an actual, this is the beginning of, this is Fiji water in this. Whoa. Yeah. Wow. I'll never taste it. You better make it last.

I'll make it last because I'll never taste it again after this. It's going to be regular water. I always enjoy the first bottle. And then there's about nine bottles of regular water. Tap water. Just tap water. Rhonda Cox. I own a flower shop and I want to let you guys know that we don't

raise the price on our roses for Valentine's Day because we're trying to take advantage of the holiday. We do it because we're trying not to lose money. We have to raise the prices because the wholesalers and growers raise their prices. Most people think Valentine's Day is a big moneymaker for us, but the profit margin is usually less than normal. Wow. Well, that's great to know. I mean, because somebody's raising the prices, right? So it's like, it's not you, and I'm sorry that's happening to you, but somebody's doing it. Somewhere along this trail, they're messing us up. So for Rhonda, what if we just didn't buy roses on that day and we bought them the next day? It might be better for Rhonda.

Well, she had to pay to get them. Yeah. Maybe if you are a flower shop, maybe you don't do flowers on Valentine's Day. You don't order them. Yeah. That's, oof. That could be your new business. Yeah.

Yes. Any day but Valentine's. Yeah. That's what we're called. Clothes on Valentine's Day. Clothes on Valentine's Day close for valentine's and funerals yeah that's the most festivus argument ever yeah is that you close on holidays yeah buy your flyers here on new year's yeah you want fireworks go to go to valentine's day fireworks dan yeah yeah i could have said that in a more clear way. Pagans are us.

Yeah. Yeah, it's, that's like them raising gas where they were blaming like the gas station. Oh, yeah. That's not us. Yeah. You know, I don't think they even make money from the gas. But yeah. Yeah. She makes a great point though.

It's good to know that. Mm-hmm. I do appreciate Rhonda saying that. Yeah. Yeah. She makes a great point, though. It's good to know that. I do appreciate Rhonda saying that. Yeah. It's like everything. Some of it, it is what it is situation. Yeah, it's not the small business owner here. It's big flowers. It's rarely, yeah.

It's rarely. The answer is rarely going to be the individual. The answer is rarely going to be the individual. The answer is rarely going to be the individual. We'll find out Rhonda Cox owns 1-800-Flowers.com. The small business owner. Yeah. It's the wholesalers and the growers. Yeah, why do they raise their price?

Because maybe the demand is so high. Sure. Sure. There is maybe more work, you know, I guess. How much more is it? It's got to be. I mean, I would think on February 13th, there's probably not a lot of flowers being ordered.

And then on the 14th, boom, big time. It's chaos. No, they have to have it. Yeah. Well, the 15th is when there's probably not much being. Yeah. You know, I just mean any other day. Yeah.

There's probably not a lot being ordered. But on Valentine's Day, any other day. Yeah. There's probably not a lot being ordered. But on Valentine's Day, you're getting hit up. It's Mother's Day, I'm sure. Mother's Day is the big one. I bet. I mean, Rhonda, owning a flower shop, too. I mean, I bet it's got to be your friends texting you. Oh, yeah.

Like, it's going to be. It's like my Bridgestone show where it's like you just, everybody that you've ever met is like, hey, Woody. You know, and like, Rhonda, I mean, it's got got to be you got any roses lying around ronda hi uh you know remember that time we were in traffic we talked uh do you have any you have any flowers like you know yeah you got to just have some i'm having a tough time finding flowers today but the key too is don't get roses go the other route. Okay.

And then you buy, like, and go, I wanted to make something colorful. Okay. And then you lie and go, my girl doesn't even like roses. Yeah, you lied to yourself. You lied to yourself. You go, she's never been into roses. Yeah. And all she's ever wanted is roses.

Oh, she's crying. Such a cliche, really. She doesn't like diamonds either. Yeah, you rarely see. I remember, I don't know if I bought them. Maybe I bought one. Because it's like, I remember you always buy flowers, and I'd always buy not roses.

You'd always buy like, all right, if you bought a rose, you go, I'm just going to give her one rose. And like that's, you know, whatever it is. Somehow more romantic. Yeah, yeah. Just a single rose. Yeah, it's cheaper. But you can spin it.

Yeah, which that's, for my wife, is romantic for me to buy the cheapest. To save money on it. But then sometimes you do think, I want just, you want a giant, like you see in the movies. Like you're like, I mean, where's that? You know? How about there's one, a box of roses or box roses or something. And the rose like stays for a year or something. Last year.

Maybe I did that one time. I could be making that up too. My entire family's bought tickets for your Bridgestone show. And they're so excited because my cousin somehow has a discount on concessions. Oh, wow. So they're all fired up about getting that discount at the concession store. Give out your cousin's number here. Yeah.

Yeah. So they'll probably be in line while I'm on stage. I might go sit with your family. Yeah. Yeah. So they'll probably be in line while I'm on stage. I might go sit with your family. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, he's going to be just sitting there, no, no, no, keep it behind for the line.

Yeah. Is his last name Bates? Nope. Oh. That's tough because I feel like you could just say he's Bates. He might say I'm Bates' cousin because what do you guys want? Yeah. say he's Bates. You know, he might say I'm Bates' cousin. What do you guys want? Yeah.

Yeah. Brian Bates. Brian. Matthew McCraw. The inconsistencies on this podcast add to the many hilarious moments. Dusty says in one breath that he writes notes of correction to pastors about what the Bible really teaches. Then he later totally disregards the Bible stance on divorce.

So funny coming from your most devoted Baptist preacher listener. I love you guys. I don't think that I disregard. I think this is what I was saying was if you have kids, don't get divorced. If you have kids, if you don't have kids, do whatever you want.

I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that from a biblical standpoint. I'm saying for the sake of the kids. Okay. That's what I'm saying. I think that was Jesus' message. Yeah. Right, right.

Well, Jesus loved to protect the kids. Pour in some water if you don't hear that. Suffer the little children. Yeah. So that was my point. I mean, I get it. Yes. I mean, it does sound very inconsistent.

And I like this joke. Matthew McCraw is very funny. But yeah, I mean, I'm, yes. I mean, it does sound very inconsistent. And I like this joke. Matthew McCraw is very funny. But yeah, I mean, I'm just saying. Well, Jesus' message was bros before. But if you're just like, you just got married out here, you're just some couple and you got married and then you don't have kids and you're like, want to get divorced? It's like, is it even a really a marriage? You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Under God it is. Yeah. I don't know. Is it, though? I'm just saying. Yeah, I don't think God takes marriage serious,

and that's what he wrote in the Bible. I don't think he does if you're not taking it seriously yourself. If you look at the noted, when they do the noted thing in the Bible, one of them goes, but if it's like a Britney Spears situation, like I totally get it. That's what the Bible says. Jesus goes, I totally understand. Like, you met a chick, and she's in Vegas, and, you know, I get it. That's what the Bible says. Jesus goes, I totally understand. You met a chick, and she's in Vegas, and I get it.

What do you expect? Yeah. You're welcome out of those divorces. But if you have kids, as Dusty, then he's like, thou shall not. Then he started using the real life. Then you've started a family, right? And now divorce is breaking up the family. If you're just two people, and you've went down to the courthouse and you got a license inside.

It's just paperwork. Yeah, go ahead and separate that. Yeah. Okay. That's what I'm saying. It's good. I'm just saying, I don't know. But my main point was, you know, stay married for the kids.

I mean, do you think when you get to heaven, you will have a few things to say to God? Oh, no. I don't think a few things to say to God. Oh, no. I don't think anyone has anything to say to God. If you get to heaven, you're like, I'm just happy that I'm here right now. You don't think you'd have a couple little notes? Dusty and I have had some Bible talks. It's not fun at all because one time me, him, and his buddy Matt were talking about heaven. Matt and I were like, man, we could probably finally dunk a basketball

and we can fly. And Dusty said, you'll be bowing down in almighty fear to the Lord. We're like, come on, dude. We're just trying to have fun. You'll be fear and trembling. I do think it's true. It's going to be hard to dunk when you're on your knees bowing to the Lord. And you're like, all right, well, I mean, there's got to be some time we're going to shoot some hoops.

You don't think there's like a moment? Well, I think, you know, initially, once you get through, you know, then there's some free time. But in the beginning, I don't know. I'm not talking about shooting hoops as soon as I show up. I don't think the first step is getting dunked in a basketball. We call that purgatory. Yeah. I just had to throw in a little Catholic

theology there just to get us through. What's purgatory? It's kind of like you're on the way to heaven, you're not quite there yet. Waiting place, right? But I think when you're in purgatory, you're like, you still may not get in, right? No, it's kind of, you're not going to bomb in purgatory, you're like, you still may not get in, right? No, it's kind of, you're not going to bomb in purgatory and go to hell.

Okay. All right. You're in there. You can stay in purgatory, though, right? I mean, who knows? Yeah. So you might never make it. It might be an instant.

It might be a million years. Yeah. You think purgatory is like a doctor's office lobby? Yeah. Kind of. It would be like if you could dunk in heaven, purgatory would be like, you'd be able to touch the bottom of the net.

Oh, yeah. So basically like on earth. It's a little better than earth. Yeah. It's like. Yeah, I can't touch the net. Yeah. You can do a layup and slap the backboard. Okay.

All right. You know, and you're like, but you're not, it's like you can't palm the ball to dunk it. Just in layman terms. Yeah. It's like you can't palm the ball to Duncan. Just in layman terms. Yeah.

Katie Visaggio. Visaggio. We need to revisit the rom-com thread when our fearless leader Nate returns. I love his take on the boys' conversation. I don't remember what the conversation was. Well, we just all named our favorite romantic comedies, just like any guys would do, hanging out. Yeah. Casual conversation. what the conversation was. Well, we just all named our favorite romantic comedies just like any guys would do hanging out. Yeah.

Casual conversation. What's the one with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn? The Breakup. The Breakup. Yeah. That rom-com. That was fun.

Really? Because I watched that again recently. I thought that's it's too serious to me. Oh, okay. There are wrong answers here. Yeah.

No, that's fine. That's your answer. What's like one that I don't even know I could try to think of? Like Grease. Oh, yeah. That was one of my favorites. Yeah.

And a movie called Serendipity. Yeah. Did you see that one? I think so. John Cusack. Yeah. Jeremy Piven. Yeah.

That's a good one. Yeah, okay. Okay. Those were my two. Yeah, I would need to see. Screen. Screen. This is 40. Is that see. Yeah, what? Screen. Screen. This is 40.

Is that like a rom-com? Sure. I think so. Yeah, I think that's good. Almost anything can be a rom-com. Yeah, Moneyball. Yeah. Kind of rom-com-ish.

It's romantic about baseball. Maybe Sleepers in Seattle would be. Oh, yeah. That'd be like that. I don't think I've ever seen it. Rom-com. Never seen it. You know, a the best. I'd be like that. I don't think I've ever seen it. Quintessential rom-com. Never seen it. You know, a movie I watched, what is it?

Everything I Hate About... No, it's... 10 Things I Hate About You? 10 Things I Hate About You. Yeah, that was really great. I just watched that for the first time the other day. It was Heath Ledger, right? Yeah, on an airplane.

I was tearing up a little bit on the airplane. No, I mean, it didn't come out, but the eyes got watered. I sometimes think I... Like, I watched Good Will Hunting last night. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. That's a good one. Was that your first time seeing that?

I've said before, we've got two right here. You worked at a water company, and now you're selling out Bridgestone Arena. This guy lived in a trailer park, and I mean, you guys are two examples of- Good Will Hunting. Yeah. And Brian and I are like the professors at the college that did everything the right way. We're furious that y'all are better than us. Because we can't solve that equation.

I solve comedy equations. Nobody I worked with was like, I hope you're not here tomorrow. They're like, you better be here. Don't have me pull up out here and you not be here. Brian and I are working on a joke and Nate walks in. You know how easy this is for me? It's a freaking joke. He burns it with his lighter. Yeah.

Yeah. You're trying to think of a joke that you come in and you're like, it's not about the camel. He said, the camel should have three humps. And you're like, oh my God. But it's missing the point. Combine the premises, Alexander. have three humps and you're like yeah but it's missing the point the premises

alexander and three humps and hump day is wednesday and you're like ah like i don't know what this joke's about a hump joke about camels on wednesday uh yeah i watched uh good one i think i watched rom-com there's part of me that thinks if I think I'm going to cry, you're like, I can't. Like you got to protect that at all costs. Even if it's just you? Yeah. Even if that's maybe the most you need to protect.

Can't be crying alone, you know. You got to protect the family. Yeah, sometimes you're like, I don't know. Or it maybe could feel like it's going to be a lot. Yeah, and you're like, I don't, or it made me feel like it's going to be a lot. Yeah, and sometimes it's like unneeded emotions.

You're like, I don't need this. I don't need that. That's why Good Will Hunting last night, I was just in a perfect, it was like on, it was on TV.

It already started, so it was always a little bit, already like, I think I like that. I think I like to start movies a little bit already in it, so you can feel like you're just like, I don't need to go start at the beginning. Miss all the setup.

Yeah, yeah. I'm like, I can guess what the setup's going to be. And then, so Good Will Hunting, I was maybe 10 minutes in. Okay. And then I kind of go through and I think, all right, well, I know there's a scene where he's crying. Then I kind of go through and I think, all right, well, I know there's a scene where he's crying. You're jumping in probably right at Matt Damon's arraignment in court after he's been arrested for that fight.

No, no, I saw before that. Okay. Yeah, I saw. Probably when they're solving the equation. You know what? I saw when he goes into that bar. I want to say right when he, not the apples thing but maybe right around that scene maybe a little bit

before that so the Barney leaves early to go finish solving the equation yeah yeah yeah okay

and then so it's a good point to jump in and but I was like you know I thought alright well I know this is a scene where he cries

with like Robin Williams yeah and so then I just think do I want to deal with that? Am I going to? That's about an hour and 20 minutes from when you started. I know, but I won't watch a whole movie because I know that scene will come.

That's the very end. I know, but then I think like, do I want to even watch? Do I feel like, am I in the mood to watch that? Okay. Am I in the mood to watch like this kind of nice moment? And I was kind of in the mood last night to watch it versus sometimes i'll think what about what about the uh how about them apples part of the scene see i feel like that ruins that the part of the scene what about it i like the whole thing

where he takes down the guy in the bar by being smarter but then the do you like apples how do you like these apples i just i don't like that uh kind of jesus is a very funny joke about that he's got a whole yeah if the guy i mean the guy could have just said no i don't like apples and the whole oh yeah the whole thing's gone yeah he goes no okay aaron did that joke i that was yeah i did that joke it was one of the first jokes i wrote yeah what if that guy not liked apples yeah i went nowhere with it and then louis did a great bit about it yeah but i've thought the part that annoyed me about that scene is that he gets the girl's number right matt damon at the bar writes it down on a post-it note and then

while he's rubbing it in the dude's face he says how do you like them apples he puts the number up to the window and shows her the number. And the guy's got a great memory. He memorized an entire book of facts. Oh, yeah. And he shows the – it's like, yeah, he shows it. So he's like, I got the number two now, bud. Exactly.

Yeah. The guy knows it for sure. I love how they buy him a car at the end, and then the next day they show up at his house, and they're surprised he's finally gone. Well, I did think that. Just needed a car. No, I thought that last night when they bought him the car at the end and they still show up to pick him up.

You're like, no, no, he's got a car. Like, I would think he would just drive. Like, when he doesn't answer the door, you would think that he goes, maybe he drove because we gave him a car yesterday. Yeah. So, like, you know. I like how Casey Affleck moves up front. And that's, like, really know. I like how Casey Affleck moves up front. And that's like really how fast you are forgotten.

Like you're like, all right, he's gone. I'm up front now. And it's like, you quit a job. You always think people are going to remember you. They don't. They're like, can I have your shift? Yeah. Yeah.

It's, yeah. Last night I was, yeah. I always think about like what mood, like I'm trying to figure out like, because I can feel very bored sometimes at night. Are you trying to be like, I want to relax or I want to like just be like mindless. Like last night was like, I wanted some mindless stuff. So like Good Will Hunting was like perfect because it was like, I just was. Because you've seen it before. Yeah, I think I do better.

You know what's funny you do better if uh i always check like hbo or showtime or movie channel to see what's on because i'll have a better chance of watching something if i'm like oh i'll watch this and it's on already and i just watch it versus when you go to like prime or you know and it's totally open-ended. Netflix. Yeah, then you're like, now I'm choosing. The point of me wanting to be mindless is I don't want to choose. I want it to be like. It chose for you. It chose for you. And you just kind of sit and you just end up drifting away watching this movie.

And you're like, oh, I ended up watching that whole thing. Versus if I have to keep going through all these things to find a movie you're like well now that's kind of you know that's i feel like what we're missing is like i need it to just be on yeah yeah hbo back in the day like you just turn it on you got no choices you can't record anything yeah and you're like yeah and you're just sitting there like oh watch goodwill goodwill hunting's on yeah and then you know you have to sit and watching it all over again. Diehard's on or something. Like, I don't – but, you know, whatever. Versus now when you go through Amazon or Netflix, Amazon, whatever, you just end up going, I got to choose.

You spend all your – I know they show you the thing, but then you got to start it. Yeah. It's got – like, I kind of need it to be on. And then you just end up just watching whatever. And you end up watching Hello World. I watched it with Harper last night. She turned it on, and it was pretty great.

Because she's what? Oh, well, I'll tell this. But she was just like she got sent. She was watching Netflix, or she was watching onflix and she or she was watching uh on her ipad and you know youtube or whatever and her time thing came like she you know and then she of course wants to request more time i was like you've watched enough today like that's that's good and then so she cuts it off and then she just turns on my special and i haven't like really got to sit and watch it with her like where it's i get her undivided attention and she

and she just sat with me on the couch and she started a hello world and uh and we just kept watching it was fun i got to see her watch she laughed at a few things which was very yeah she would laugh at the end of things like if i was if it was like the i forget what jokes is you know like i want to say the light joke was you know the part right at the end where it's like i can't you know like you can't just go downstairs and just be like uh hey you know ask about the lights or i gotta act like no i got my light it would be when i'm acting like uh the part that's made up where i'm i've did the scenario and then i'm like trying to pretend to be this guy yeah and uh she like just to hear her laugh at those, it's pretty, it's pretty special.

I was like, I mean, it was, I like had to pee and I was like, I just, and I just sat there. I was like, I'll just got to hold it. Cause it was like, you know, a moment that you're like, I can't, I'm, I, you know, it's like some of your kids, it's like getting a baby deer close. You're like, no one move. For some reason, she's doing everything I've wanted her to do.

So let's let this happen. And so I just sat there and let it have a laugh. And we made it maybe 20 minutes. And then she goes, all right, that's good. And then she stopped it. Like, it was like she did it as long as she could. And then she's like, that's enough. That's awesome.

Yeah, I caught some real laughs. And I was like, oh, that was super fun. And also, a lot of people brought up on there, it says foul language. Yeah, I got a question. Oh, okay. Sorry, I jumped the gun. Jump the gun, Aaron. You're ruining my whole story.

I'm going to start the whole flow. Dusty, why don't you tell us a little bit about some AG1 oh i'd love to gosh i love this stuff our next partner is athletic greens i think all of us are trying to take our ag1 by athletic greens every day i gave ag1 a try because i wanted increased energy and immune system support especially during the cold and flu season oh Oh, yeah. The reference of facing the camera made me realize that Nate has avoided looking at bummer for every podcast. That's either pro-level commitment or Nate just doesn't care for bellyaches face. I had two in there.

You know what we're referencing? No. It's like within five minutes of the podcast last week when Brian was in your chair, finally, Tristan had to come over and be like, Hey dude, like your backs. Cause you kept looking at dusty your backs to the camera. You have to rotate where like that hasn't been an issue in 140 episodes. Cause you're just not looking at Brian for that to be a problem. Oh, like you were like going like this.

Yes. Yeah. Maybe even closer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe even closer. Yeah. Yeah. I look at Brian. You're not the easiest for me to look at, but you look like that. I don't devote the hour to you.

Tell us. You know, bummer. Some woman commented, don't care for Boat Ramp's profile. And I got to agree with her. I saw it myself. It wasn't the best. You like your face straight on more than from the side? I don't like my face at all, but especially not from the side. Well, everybody likes it from straight on.

Oh, I prefer the profile. Side? Oh, side, yeah. That's crazy. I just did the headshot thing. I don't know if you've ever seen your side. Go ahead. I just did like a headshot thing to get new headshots.

And they were like, go through and pick all your favorites. And all of mine were like. Side? As far away from the camera as where I'm looking. They're like, you need some where you're looking straight on. I don't care for that. Oh, straight on is, I prefer straight on. Okay.

Side is tough. I mean, we've been, I've been sitting this side, you know. Dusty, your mug shots, which one did you like better? Too straightforward? I'll be honest. I don't like any headshot of myself. I wish, I do have some mug shots out there. I've never been able to find them.

I would like to. You do? Well, I got arrested when I was a younger guy. Yeah. so they're out there yeah they're gonna be worth something someday yeah i'd love to find them yeah that'd be a lot of fun uh that is fun it's cool that you got arrested uh well you know i'm an outlaw yeah yeah richard gatling That's a good name. That is a good name.

Richard Gatling. Gatling Gun. Yeah, that sounds like in Kramer, he's like Todd Glack. Yeah, Todd Gack? Todd Gack. Yeah. Dusty is correct in that the moon does spin. The moon makes one complete rotation during the same time it takes to orbit the Earth.

This is what tidally locked means. Other forms of tidally locked objects are high Earth orbit satellites. I will say I've learned something from the podcast. I learned that about the moon. I was under the impression that the moon did a little more spinning than it does, but I still don't believe it. But I have learned that that's what people believe uh but you know and when i say examples of other tidally locked things that i said on the other one i mean examples that we can actually observe and see like what's another you know and i know that you

can say well the uh other moons do it and other satellites but we still can't see it what's tidally locked means the ocean keeps it locked oh that's why we always see the same side of the moon oh oh the ocean makes it great yeah yeah it will just come around with us like oh ocean seems so powerful we should explore it more it does yeah yeah uh i don't think they want to know what's down there. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Exactly. One complete rotation during the time it takes to orbit Earth. So roughly a month. So the moon, so would we not see all sides of the moon? We never see, that's the dark side of the moon.

But how does it make a complete rotation? Because it's rotating with us. Well, if it starts up here and then it always, it's that same side that's always going to be facing us. I know. So where's the rotation then? It's still rotating around, but we're just always on the same side of it. But it's still rotating around. Technically, it's rotating, I guess, because it's just- So we're rotating with it.

Yeah. So it's like it's rotating- Because it's tidally locked with the earth. Okay. So we're just, it's like- So it's not on its own axis. If we could fake it out for a second. If we could just be locked with the Earth. Okay. So we're just, it's like. So it's not on its own axis. If we could fake it out for a second. If we could just be.

Throw in the brakes. The Earth could just be like, hold on, hold on, hold on. And the moon's like, wait, don't look at me. Like we see the backside of it. It's a mess back there. I'm sure it's a nightmare back there. Yeah. Did they see the back of it?

Only the people that have been around. The astronauts? Have they? Astronauts, yeah. They saw the back of it only the people that have yeah been around the astronauts have they astronauts yeah we saw the back of it no pictures or anything well it's pretty dark yeah no flashes wouldn't make it through the van allen radiation belt i guess yeah are there any pictures of like the moon and then the earth behind it like when they went around they have some look cgi looking thing of the dark side of the moon and then the earth behind it. Like when they went around. They have some CGI looking thing of the dark side of the moon. Oh, like what they think it is? I saw it. Yeah, it's real CGI looking though.

Oh, it's a triangle. That's peak form. Maybe that's why we don't want to see it. Moon's actually a triangle. There's one, right? There was one. What's that one? Well, NASA images the dark side of the moon.

Yeah. Yeah, once you get behind there, it gets crazy. It gets real dark. It's got to look like the front, right? Well, we've got the way more interesting side, it seems. We've got a lot more seas. No, no, no. I mean, this is just kind of just a bunch of craters,

but we've got all kinds of different shapes. Yeah, so, I mean, the backside's probably the same, unless people are back there having a good time. I think they say there's like a rabbit shape. On our side, it's like a rabbit shape. There's like a rabbit holding an egg. Okay. It's hilarious.

It's like there's people back there just having a party. Yes, yeah. Oh, yeah. I've never seen that. There is a there just having a party. Yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I've never seen that. There's a little bit of a rabbit going on. Yeah. Yeah. I've always heard that, the rabbit.

Rabbit holding an egg. That's where some people say we get the Easter bunny from. Oh, okay. Rabbit holding an egg. That's where he came from. Yeah. And that was the spot, that was the shade when he left. Yeah.

Comes down, drops off eggs. We got to find him. Right. Before he can get back to the moon. To celebrate left. Yeah. Comes down, drops off eggs. We got to find him before he can get back to the moon. To celebrate Jesus. Yeah. And behind it is like a dinner party at the Great Gatsby. Yeah. And they're just partying. Have a little tea.

Big band swing music. Yeah. They have no idea that we're on the other side, and it's bright. We were just tidally locked. One day he goes, one day I swear something was off, and I saw like a glimpse, like a crack of a door. And I go, what was it? And then they go, nothing, nothing, nothing. And they sped the moon back up to kind of be like, oh, that almost got ugly.

You know, some people say that when the astronauts landed on the moon that they were greeted by aliens. And that's why we don't go back because they were like you're not welcome here because some people you some people i've read about that man i don't believe we went there some people yours brain yes your brain but i've heard i've heard that people said that like the aliens were there and they were like you're not welcome here yeah so that's why we don't go so we went back a back a few more times. Maybe it was the last time we went back. Okay. Oh, yeah.

And they were like, don't be putting your flags up here. Yeah. They go, that's enough. We visited and saw your flag up here. We want you to know this is already ours. We were cool with the first six Apollo missions, but- But now we're calling you. Don't come back again.

You got to draw the line somewhere. Yeah. Now it's getting- I mean, as- You've overstayed your welcome. Yeah. Yeah. As aliens- Well, you got to get into the the line somewhere. Yeah. Now it's getting it. I mean, as- You've overstayed your welcome. Yeah, yeah. As aliens-

Well, you've got to get into the fantasy of it, you know? Uh-huh. Yeah. That would make you- At some point, you go, that's enough. That's what Apollo 13 was. Yeah, quit coming here. I bet they keep going to the moon, though.

If you go to the moon, you're just kind of like, yeah, there's not much there. You know, you get there and you're like, which is crazy to say, but as an astronaut, you've got to go- Boring. Yeah. Yeah, you're like, we could have saw this at a desert in Arizona. Yeah. Yeah.

You think as an astronaut, you've been, if you go to the moon three times, and then you get your little note card, tells you where you're going to go again, and you go, I can't wait to see this. And then it goes, the moon. And you're like, and you go on the fourth time. And you're like, but you are going to the moon. So you can't complain. Right.

Because everybody's like, dude, that's crazy. You're the only person that's ever been to the moon four times. You go, but I know. I know. It's awesome. It's an honor. It's an honor. I'm not saying it's not an honor.

But there ain't much up there, if you know what I mean. You go to the moon. you go to the moon. There we go. I think there's a commercial now where there's an astronaut, and they're like, you got to see this. And he's bored. He's like, I've seen it before. He doesn't even get off the ship.

Oh, yeah, that's funny. Hello, world comments. Welcome back to hello world Speaking of world Speaking of world Speaking of world the moon That's what you say when you're coming back from the moon Hello world

Hello world What? I see the name coming up Julian Turnwich Oh my gosh I'm sorry i doubted you julian turnwitched the names they they don't feel like they match so julian and turnwitched that feels like you know someone someone got a name in there like i bet if you made the other

turnwitched it's going to be much different names so like you're saying it past tense. Turn witched. Turn witched way. Turn witch way. You know what I mean? I don't know the name, but it seems like they're all, you know, it's like all Tom turn witched. It's all Tom. And then like the mom was like, got one Julian in. Yeah. And that, you know.

Yeah. The special finally dropped here in Oz. Australia. Australia. And it's as good as I hoped. I had to watch it twice straight up because the first time I thought, I wonder if I see Aaron. Well, very quickly, that's all I could see.

Then I was trying to see the guy Aaron accosted in his seated bouncer role, but the special was the best yet, in my opinion. here we come well thank you julian that means the world uh do we have the moment of him do you did y'all it's not on the special not that i saw oh yeah but i saw the guy i said it to yeah he's pretty clear he's sitting right in front of me. Yeah, yeah. Did we – I know we don't have like a screen grab of it or something? Oh, I got sent – sorry. I got sent a ton. Yeah. It's been so long.

I can pull them up. So it just dropped in what, Australia and New Zealand? I believe it's out. Yeah, it was very funny that it was called Hello World and it was not globally launched. But yeah, February 17th was, it was, and I don't know if it was, and I still got some people saying it wasn't here or there,

but I mean, it should be everywhere as far as what is today. It should be everywhere. So it's, yeah, it should be out. So it's like we're seeing. I did watch it. I don't watch a lot of comedy specials and I watched it and it's great.

Thank you. It's very funny. Thank you. Yes. uh yeah it was fun i loved uh i i do a man i love shooting it in that place it was just i liked seeing the crowd and it just it looked you know seeing uh i don't know it was just very fun to get to like you look at the special and you're like they did a really great job with it uh all that stuff uh here's a good picture somebody tweeted at me there we go so that's me obviously that's my sister my brother my other brother and uh i got a site there's your side profile i get look at that you're gonna tell me that's a good... No, that's straight on. That's about as straight on as we... No, for me. Oh, okay. Look at mine.

Look at this. I'm just wrong on my neck. And that's what you prefer. I'm not saying I prefer yours. I'm saying I prefer mine. Who's the person? That's him right there. This guy. Oh, no. Oh, I didn't guess. I guessed someone else. I guessed that woman.

He's definitely... You think he's already guessed someone else. I guessed that woman. He's definitely, you think he's already been told enough. I hate that we're really putting him on blast here. Well, it's not, I'm on his side.

I think everybody's team him. Yeah. Oh, man. Yeah. I don't think we feel bad. That guy was having a good time.

He's a nice guy. He's a fan of yours. Yeah. The guy made know how to behave at a comedy show. That's fine. He made the wrong guy. He's a fan of yours. Yeah. The guy didn't quite know how to behave at a comedy show. And that's fine. He made the wrong decision of having fun in front of Eric.

If he listens to this, please email us. We don't. Please don't, actually. I don't want to hear from that guy. Also, as a comedian, though, it's hard to sit in an audience. It is hard because anything someone does annoys me. Yeah, yeah. I know.

You want it. Yeah, it's pretty it's uh totally understand look there's someone we had that had a loud laugh and we had to take i had to and you hear it the whole you hear only once i think now uh but when i listened to it the first time it's like the whole show and you're like well that that laugh's gotta go like it's too distracting and that's a tough like you know that guy's having the most fun but we had to take it out we had to like it was like you had to be like that has to come down the distinct laughs are really hard i listened to a maria bamford album one time and about halfway through she had to say to someone in the audience she's like that laugh she's like i'm glad you're having fun but that laugh is killing me yeah and it's like it it is like that distinct laugh is, it can be really hard. It can be hard. And that's, it's a tough one to say. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Gina Willis,

did anyone notice that Nate's special Hello World on Prime is rated 13 plus for foul language? I laughed so much when I saw that, having already seen it once and knowing that the only foul language was his bit on the word sucks. So that's so great. I love the podcast, guys. Yeah. Yeah, dude. That's good.

I don't know why. I think we even tried to say, can we get that off? It's kind of funny. It's very funny. There's just like whatever reason, I don't know. But I mean, I'd be curious to be like foul language. I think they just assume and don't even check into it. Yeah.

Because you want to go, I guarantee there's kids shows or there's like Disney shows, whatever, that say sucks or something that they probably don't have foul language on. I wonder if there are different things you have to – if it's not given this rating, then it's technically like marketed and made for kids and there's different stuff you have to do. Like on YouTube. Like on YouTube, you have to check this is not made for children. Okay, yeah. And then it's like regulated differently and moderated differently.

Yeah. So maybe this is just like – this is for adults for adults yeah he gave me some street cred so so when harper was watching it breaking the rules i know yeah it's not supposed to be but yeah i don't know they just put on there it is very funny uh steve tesky steve tesky it's all just one why did you decide to do your new special in the round louis ck recently said on a podcast that the view is better for the audience because it's like everyone has a center seat yeah i i agree i think the round round is a great way to watch something. Luis shot a special there. So did Carl in Seven Dirty Words was shot there too. I did like doing that. I liked shooting.

I liked he shot a Seven Dirty Words special to then shoot a special there with no dirty words. Like there was something that I thought was kind of fun. But they shot theirs there uh and i watched both and took from both uh i liked showing the crowd i that was a big part of i i that's one of my favorite places ever to perform is the celebrity theater in that round uh and but i liked uh i, and I wanted to be able to show the crowd, especially after like the last one being so mask and all this stuff. I wanted to show a crowd having fun. So I wanted, when you, when people are watching it at home, I wanted to show people having fun and laughing during the show. Cause it made it, you know, it was like, it made it be like, yeah, yeah, we're having a good – you're showing people you have a good time.

And that was a big reason I wanted to do it. And, I mean, I love that you can see the crowd. I think it's fun. It's like you end up – there's other reasons to watch. People watch it to find you, and people watched it. It just makes it a good time. Emily Crawford. Where did Nate get his jacket from for a special? I've been looking for a bomber jacket, and that one is great.

So I know. The jacket was a special edition, and it was gifted to us. It is by Paige. It is the Robison Satin Bomber Jacket. Bomber. Did you say bomber?in bomber, bomber, bomber, bomber jacket. Bomber. You say bomber? Bomber, bomber, bomber. Bomber.

You don't say the second B? No. You guys dropping a bomb on us. And so that's how we would get hit by a bomb. Oh, yeah. How'd your show go? I got bombed. Yeah.

If I was in the military and we were getting bombed, I think we would get bombed because it would be like, they're about to shoot a bomb and we need to counter it. And everybody goes, what? They're shooting a bomb. And then the guy's like, what is he saying? And then the bomb hits. So it would be, you shoot stuff off to make the bomb chase.

I think we get hit just because the guy's the thing goes the bomb just got sent and so the guy's just supposed to and he goes what?

the bomb because he's saying bomb bomb bomb he goes you're not supposed to say the other B okay but the

well the bombs and then we get blown up I think if they need someone to sacrifice themselves by falling on it, the guy who says it like that, we could probably afford this guy. Yeah. So the jacket is by Paige, and it was a special edition. I didn't know that.

I don't get told this, but yeah, there you go. Laura wrote this answer. People are wondering why Nate's. Yeah. And Amber Linehan. Yeah. That's why. Yeah.

Uh, my, the stylist, Amber Linehan, uh, she styles me or for the road, you know, I know that's like a fancy fun thing,

but it's like, you gotta, it's, uh, you know, it's hard to like find stuff that's like cool. Like you want it to look good. I want it to like – I try to wear stuff that's like you could wear normally.

Like I'm not trying to wear something that's – that someone's like I can never wear that. You ever going to do a special in a jumpsuit like Chappelle or something like that? Maybe. No, I don't know. No, I doubt it. I don't know, though.

You never know. Maybe I could become a lunatic on the next one. I'm walking out and I look like Sam Smith. You see the stuff that he wears. That kind of stuff, those people are gone. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they're not even like a – the fashion world is beyond – they've got something wrong with them.

I saw some runway fashion show with it. Although models were not wearing the dresses, the dresses were like in front of them or sideways or upside down. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. I mean, it's, it's, these people are gone. Like, it's like the fashion world is in a hole. It's like, yeah.

It's become art or something. Yeah, you're out of ideas. Yeah, you're out of ideas. It's called avant-garde. That's what they call it. Yeah, yeah, but that's made up. That's just a made-up thing that's like, you're like, we're past anything. You're like, no one's, what's the point of that? Like, it's, you know, it's like. It's art. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just, you're like we're past anything you're like no one's what's the point of that like it's

you know it's like it's art yeah yeah it's it's just you're like a painting i guess you can wear a painting and you get to walk around the paint so maybe all right maybe i'm on board with it now i'm talking myself into it but it's no but it's like that's like gone so like i when we try to when i wear stuff it's like i'm trying to wear stuff that like yeah it's at least something that's like a cool like it's it's something that you could wear that someone could wear you know right and but you're wearing you are doing a special so it needs to look you know you want to look good but it's like i hope everything i wear is you're like oh yeah you know you you could buy your husband that be like our dude could be like i that. But yeah, you're doing that stuff.

I didn't see that one. Profile. Yeah, you do a show in the round wearing that just to see it from the side. I wonder if you're wearing that, what he's wearing right there, are you thinking, I look good? Or do you not even think about it? Sam Smith might be on another planet right now. So there's, I don't know.

I think he's thinking about it. You don't just forget you're wearing that. But do you think he thinks I look good, or do you think he's like, where have I got myself into? I just wanted to sing songs. No, no, that's, I think the level that he's at is, I don't, I'm telling you, these, you gotta, there's a slippery slope. That's been like, look at Sandler.

Sandler has kept it where he's norm. Like he has his dudes with him that have been with him for 25 years or 30 years and they're just like regular dudes. And like, you gotta have some reality in your life. Yeah. And if you – and I think with like that Sam Smith, like you could – you can be where you don't have any reality. Like, you know, like, yeah, he dresses like very down as the Sandler kind of thing,

and that's the very, you know. I mean, he's gone on Letterman like that. Yeah. Yeah. handler kind of thing and that's the very you know i mean he's okay he's gone on wetterman like that yeah yeah and that's just he always just dread like that's he he's always done that and it works for him yeah and it's not like i like to dress up like i like to wear like i have like i wear uh like when i'm on stage it's like i like wearing something that's like nice and feels good and cool and like i do you can have that but but you just got to have – it can't go – I don't know. It's like there – Well, yeah, there's a lot of room in between what Sandler's wearing and what Sam Smith was wearing. Yeah.

Yeah. The most room. Yeah. Yeah. It's literally the top and the bottom. Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's – yeah, you're – yeah, I mean, yeah, what's saying? But it's like the idea, like, you know, you see the NBA players,

like they come in wearing that – like they're into fashion now. They go to these fashion shows and all this stuff. That fashion world is a slippery slope. Like it's getting, you know, like it just feels – it's its own thing. And you're like Yeah and I don't understand it But it gets There's an arrogance to

He had to tuck his shirt in On that one They wouldn't let him in Until he tucked his shirt in Yeah Spencer Heaton I was wondering if Nate Would let us know

Who all the people Were backstage in his special As he walked from The janitor's closet To the stage I like that he noticed The janitor's closet to the stage. I like that he noticed the janitor's closet. That was like a dumb idea, I thought, at the beginning.

I just thought it would be funny to just come out of a janitor's closet. Yeah. Well, we've all had a green room that's basically the janitor's closet. Yeah, it was. That was like literally just trying to be stupid and silly. Some people might not have even noticed it. I thought it was just funny to – I wanted some – I thought it would be funny to be like, what I'm about to walk to, just to have it starred in a janitor's closet.

Yeah. So when I walked through, when I first came out of the janitor's closet, it's two guys that own the improv, Joel and – Matt. Matt, yeah. And so I just saw them. They own the improv in Phoenix, Tempe. And Stand Up Live. Yeah, yeah.

And so those guys are awesome. And so it's them, and then it's my managers. Then Brian Dorfman owns Zany's, my agents, and then the lady that was there for this from Amazon. She was from Amazon. And then I turn the corner, and it's like Chase, my son, that everybody claims is my son, who's with me. He's now on the road. And Eric, the barber trainer. Then my sister and Bree, who they did all the candy.

Then Ricky, our bus driver. And then our buddy Mash, who's just been the black guy, the only black dude. That's Mash. Mash is from Tennessee. I've known him forever through Travis, my tour manager. But Mash comes out with us. If we're in New York, California, whatever, he pops out and comes out. He's super fun.

He was there for the taping anyway. And then Justin, and then I believe it's Vitor. Vecchione. Vecchione, and Dustin Chaf and Dustin Chafin and Julian and then Nick. And then when I go upstairs, it's Travis, my tour manager, who we grew up together, Tony, our promoter, who does everything great, and Lauren Harper. And then that's the – I think that's everybody.

And then – Did I forget somebody? Your brother. Oh, yes. And then my brother hands me the microphone. Yeah, that's funny. You forgot him just like you do. Well, you just forget. Yeah, middle brother.

Yeah, then Derek hands me the microphone. And then when I come back downstairs and everybody's there, that's like Harper, Laura, Abigail, my sister. Laura, Abigail, my sister, and then Derek, his wife, Maya, Derek's middle child. He's got four kids. Bob Ripple Pants. Bob Ripple Pants. That's where they – yeah, the Bob Ripple Pants comes from Maya and Harper and all that, and then everybody else.

Yeah, I just wanted to show – I liked showing the kind of crew, the people who we're out with. Like, you know, it's like it's just like we're all, I mean, all of us hang out, dude. Like, it's just hanging out. Like, I wanted to show Derek. Like, that's why I like Derek handing that. Like, showing, I talk about Abigail and Derek in this this special so it's like i wanted to be able to

show them and you know abigail's been doing great on the road like a lot of people email like abigail's responding to a lot of these emails along with you like she's uh and it is my sister she's the youngest sister she has a tattoo she got a new tattoo that i do not care for uh it's a bigger one on her arm i don't like it i just don't you know but she did it because she's young and an idiot and uh my parents went along with it my dad like almost helped kind of design i mean i was furious about this whole situation uh but they did it and uh but yeah i wanted to show we're all yeah it's like you know just show that it's like uh it's all this is all is what it is uh all of us hanging out but he answered right away like a person yeah and it's the best customer

service experience i've had with any company ever it It was just like a person. They said, text me a picture of it. They just sent me a new part within like a day. It was awesome. It's amazing when you can talk to people. Oh, I was so surprised. It's a person answering. Yeah, you could, I mean, like really like riding that, when it's electric like that,

you can make a good size journey with it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because it's not easy to ride a bike. It's easy to be on a bike, but you hit a hill, and it's hard. And I rode one of these, just yours, around the neighborhood. It's so great. It crushes hills, too. It's so great.

Yeah. Yeah, it's super fun. All right. Rob Fisher. My wife and I just watched Nate's news special. As soon as I heard Nate's joke about turtles being cold-blooded, I immediately assumed the other comedian he was with was Aaron. It sounded like a real Notre Dame-like comment to make.

Please confirm or out this other Notre Dame-educated comedian. No, it was not me. It was not Aaron. It was Jeremiah Watkins. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I didn't know that. It does sound like an Aaron thing, though.

It does. Jeremiah did not say it. Jeremiah is a very, very nice comedian and very funny. He didn't say it, but we were at a wedding. And we went on a hike in the woods. And it was a bunch of comics. And the day was like, you could get in the water that day, but it was very cold. It was like, I want to say it was November.

So the water was already cold. But we were upstate New York, but it was like 60 or something that day where it's like you could jump in the water, but it was, like, freezing. And so the water was cold. I'm walking in the other day, and then we see the turtle. And then that's when I said, I was like, man, I bet that turtle. Because why we walked by the turtle when in the water. I was like, I bet it was cold. Exactly when I said, I was like, man, I bet that turtle, because why we walked by the turtle went in the water. I was like, I bet it was cold.

Exactly what I said. And then he goes, well, it's cold-blooded, so it probably just feels like bathwater. And he said it like that, and that was it. And then we didn't talk about it, and then I just made it a joke. So, yeah, that's not the real joke. The real joke, I say, like, went on a hike. We weren't on a crazy hike.

We were in the woods, though. I wasn't at a hospital. That stuff is all that. It's just like I did not walk on a paved trail or any of that. But all that stuff all happened. Jeremiah Watkins. I don't know if I've ever really talked to him about it. If he even knows that you turned this into a bit.

Yeah, I don't know. I mentioned it one other time uh on stage somewhere but i uh yeah i don't uh yeah i don't know i need to tell him that's fun yeah that's where it came from uh troy feeling thailand i believe you missed the easiest call back in comedy history at the end when inexplicably talking about front doors for a second time during your special, if those guys had walked off with a, wait for it, sliding glass door, the place would have erupted. I think they did erupt. Dude, you could have ended on a laugh, Nate.

Lauren took off a part that said breakfast please share this with Nate and I'll just say I could not wait to share this with you blew it buddy yeah I disagree

it's too this is the thing with callbacks like it's it's own I already have two front door stuff callbacks are

I it's i like them and then there's there's got to be a place for them that's also a pretty far away callback it's like too far and ending a show on a callback is that callback needs to i gotta make sure that you remember the callback if you did but hey it's not i don't want it to be the sliding glass door the sliding glass door joke i was already closing want it to be the sliding glass door. The sliding glass door joke, I was already closing on this door stuff and the sliding glass door thing happened later.

But I wouldn't, like the guys, and then I'm saying those guys get in front of the door and then, I disagree that the joke would work. You don't want to force a callback either.

Yeah, yeah. There's nothing worse than a forced callback. Yeah, I disagree that he, the joke is, the joke is not about the door, really. It's about me. That's, the joke is not about the door, really. It's about me.

The sliding glass door, the joke is the sliding glass door because it's the front door. That's the funniest. That's the centerpiece of the joke. The joke at the end with the front door is not about that. It's not about the door. It's about me sleeping late, me not. It's like all of that stuff.

So the door, and then her and then Laura getting this, and I don't know what's happening. The door is not really the point of it. So if I brought in the sliding glass door, it just wouldn't make, it's, yeah, like it could get a laugh, but it wouldn't make sense. It almost retroactively makes the whole rest of it not make sense either too. It's like, it's not grounded at all.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's not like the golfing joke. The golfing story is not about golf. Right. It's about a husband and a wife and their miscommunication through it. That's what it's about. And like a funny situation just happened to be here. It happened with golf.

This door thing's not about – this part's not about the door the beginning it is about the door because my parents saying they own a sliding glass door that's that that is the whole that whole story's about the sliding glass door but at the end it's not and so it would be if i brought in that it would be do you ever think about doing all the door stuff together and then you got like a 20 minute door chunk yeah sometimes you yeah sometimes you can can think like I'm talking about doors a lot. But funny is that one was, that's how much that wasn't about the door in my head that I never even. You never even considered. Never even considered it.

Because it was, I never even thought, oh, I'm talking a lot about doors. Because that, the joke at the end is I'm not, the door has nothing to do with it. The door is like, even though the door is a center, but I'm not even thinking about it. It could have been a garbage can for all. I'm just telling you exactly what it was. That moment happened on here. Some people went and dug it up because we did a podcast that morning. Yeah.

Oh, they were moving the door. I haven't seen it. After your door got taken. Do you know where it's at? looked it up and sent it to laura because i thought y'all were going to put it in the post credits we were i was going to do that stuff i always like to show that stuff and i was going to put that stuff we need to uh i need to find it i mean i could yeah let me look real fast yeah what was do you have an email like was it so i emailed laura it was one of our early episodes yeah do you know exactly yeah i just would tell people and then maybe i'll i'll i want to look at

it and see but it would be interesting like the moment if you want to see the closing joke of the moment it happened it happened on this podcast because it that it happened and we came up and i came up here and did a podcast we showed up that morning there's just no front door at this oh yeah what is happening? I don't know if people care about that, but I thought it'd be interesting. For people that would care about that, you can literally see the second that joke is going to happen. I kind of say it. And here's the funny part.

It is a sliding glass door. Yeah. That would be. See, that would be. You don't, as a comic, you don't ever want to put that much pressure on it. You don't want to close. The callback, if you close on a callback, I'm kind of closing on a callback right now. But it's not a callback as much as it's, it's not a callback.

But it's. Something else has got to go right for it to – No, no. It's setting up something that when I set it up at the end, it's like – but that's what this is. It's like – so I set up – It's episode number 23. And I got the time code. Yeah.

It starts at 1.43. One hour 43? No, one minute 43. Oh, yeah. It was at 1.43. One hour 43? No, one minute 43. Oh, yeah. It was fresh on our minds. Yeah, because it just happened. So if you want to hear the beginning of this, I'm making it easy because people could hear it.

What's up, everybody? Thanks for watching us. We also have a front door to our house. Everybody liked the Laura episode. Let me tell you what Laura did. a front door to our house. Everybody liked the Laura episode. Let me tell you what Laura did.

We're getting our door that is just like a something that's good. Whatever the house we bought came with the door. This house we bought came with the door. And then the paint was coming off and it's got a lifetime warranty

that they will fix it. This starts the beginning of the coldest day of the year. It's snowing outside right now. They knock on my door. It's like 930 in the morning. I get up. Obviously, I've been awake just recently.

And I go to the front door for them to tell me, we're about to take your front door. That's what they said. I have no idea that this is even happening. And I just, Laura's gone. And I go, hello? And I open the door just for them to go, we're about to take that door. And I go, well, it's snowing outside.

And they go, ah, we put something up. So we go out the door all week. Kind of looks like a crime scene. Like the house is being sealed off. Somebody got killed here. All right. It's tough to look at. There you go.

Yeah, what side profile do you like? That's insane. Look at Aaron. I don't know what's more good for you, buddy. That's crazy. Thanks. I've lost weight. Bait's the exact same.

It's remarkable. Aaron, you look like an old boat captain. That finally got off. You go, yeah, that finally, like, got off. Like, you go, yeah, well, I was on a boat. And your wife goes, it's going to kill you if you stay out there. And now you're on land. Yeah. It's remarkable how close that is.

I mean, some of the beats and how you told it then is how you ended up telling it. Yeah, yeah. And it's, yeah, that's, I wanted to, I haven't seen that either. That's fine. So like, yeah, I haven't seen it yet. And is that the end of it? We went a little bit more. Aaron made his point.

Okay. Yeah, that's all right. I mean, we got the gist of it. Yeah, that was the, yeah. That's where it started. And then I think we talked a little bit more about it, but that was about it. That was about it. Yeah. All right. Yeah. That's where it started. And then I think we talked a little bit more about it, but that was about it. That was about it. Yeah.

All right. Yeah. Yeah. That was because we recorded the podcast that morning. And then so it was- What was the date on that? That was two years ago. Yeah.

Doesn't give- Oh, geez. I'm bombing over here. Yeah. So two years ago. I mean, that's how long it takes to get a joke. Yeah. And I just taped that in October.

December 2nd, 2020. Wow. And then so I taped it in October of 22. So it's like it happens on December. You can almost see the – I mean, I don't know the exact moment I got that joke. I got it – I was closing on it. The joke was finished before then. I'm sorry. I'm reading some of the moment I got that joke. I got it. I was closing on it. The joke was finished before then. I'm sorry.

I'm reading some of the other things we talked about. Vanderbilt female football kicker, Sarah Fuller. Yeah. Yeah, she might listen to this podcast. I think I found out. Yeah. Yeah. But it's crazy that – yeah, I don't know.

It's fun. Yeah. I think it's fun. That's also like someone could not care. Most people could not care. But if you want to see where jokes- It is fun to see where the jokes come from. Yeah.

It shows people this is real. You're not just making stuff up. Not many jokes do you have a video of you talking about it like an hour after it happened. Yeah. So that's cool. Yeah, that's crazy. happened. Yeah. You know, so that's cool. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah.

So, yeah, sorry we didn't do callback. Well, Dustin, you're the callback king, right? Well, I like callbacks. I like them a lot, and I think they can add a lot to a show. But I do also know that I've tried to force them a lot of times where I'm like, in my head, I think, oh, this is going to be great. This is going to be, and then you do it and it gets no reaction. And you're like, oh, okay, this is too many callbacks. So especially ending on a callback, it really have to be sure it's going to be.

Right now I'm ending on a, but I'm saying, but like, that's what I was going to say. Like, that's kind of a callback what I end on. He doesn't, he's, he's taken too literal. The callback is I set up that I don't sleep, that I, when you sleep late, you start, you write, you write what you're throwing in a day. That's before any of this stuff. Like I, you wake up at noon.

If I meet you at noon, it's going to be, I'm going to come in pretty hot. That's the callback. So there is a callback but i'm calling i'm setting up that to then when i tell the door story it's like then i go it's not been awake for 45 seconds and i have to decide if i'm gonna give this guy the most important part i'm setting that up in earlier in that so the callback is the action but it can now that bit can just exist by itself it doesn't need other context it doesn't but it's like it makes it like whenever i start the i like to cut that the i'm starting the i'm setting the premise of who i am of this idea this because i go into that and like we have bedtime like it's like uh i say that you wake up in the middle of the day i forget whatever the joke i say after that maybe that's the start of

something i don't know but i start the you know i sleep late into the day like and then there's not really much else with it and then i tell you a story about how this affected me because i sleep late in the day so the callback is the action of me so you're setting up this me here well here's a real life scenario of where that wasn't helpful for me that i sleep late in the day so the action is the callback the word someone like troy that's been doing comedy for not at all i would understand how he would want to make the call the callbackback, the sliding glass door. But it's also the easiest, it's easiest in comedy history though. It's the easiest in the history of comedy. Yeah. It would be, yeah. It's, I, there's, there's times that a callback, I, sometimes I could not choose the callback, let alone because I think you realize I should

do a callback. So sometimes you don't do a callback because the audience is like, well, obviously, why didn't he not do the callback? It's a misdirection not to do it. Yeah, because you're doing the callback in your own head. So I'll let you do it. That's a laugh. That's a big – like Brian Regan, I joke like this. That's what I like.

You get a laugh off not even doing the callback, and then I do another joke, and now I get a double laugh. So I get a double laugh off the same thing. Right. Because the audience, I know you think the callback, so you start laughing expecting me to say the callback, and then I say something else. Now I got an extra laugh. That's what Brian does when he's the straight man on stage, right?

You let him do the callbacks. He's on another planet. This is 3D chess over here. Bates is doing it. You guys are doing checkers. He goes, yeah. He goes, we still got to make the crowd. The crowd is you do the joke.

I get it going. I start it. I pull. Yeah, I'm doing setups up here. You do the joke. I start the lawnmower. You mow the yard. Well, it's like your dead horse joke.

You always said, I'm not going to say beating a dead horse. Yeah. Because that's too obvious. It's too, yeah. Everybody would be like, why would going to say beating a dead horse yeah because that's too obvious it's too yeah everybody would be like why would you not say beating a dead horse because you're telling me that i should have said it so i don't need to do something and i can also i am beating a dead horse by talking about a dead horse for five minutes the whole thing is about it like it doesn't need to be that it's very meta it's very yeah that's right it doesn't need to be that literal. It's very meta. It's very meta. Yeah. That's right. It doesn't need to be that literal. Thanks for watching, Troy.

Yeah, appreciate it right now. I appreciate it, Troy. I'm joking with you. We're giving you a hard time. Josh Capps. On January 30th, my family and I gathered around my grandmother as she passed away. Good night. It was a sad day, but peaceful.

It was the hardest at the end of the night, though, after hospice had come and gone, until we saw that Hello World has been released early. It absolutely brought joy from tears. Thank you. Too bad it wasn't a day early, of course, or my grandma could have seen it too. Just kidding. She hated Klingon. That's funny.

Look at that, Josh. Very funny. That's a good callback. That is. See, that's a callback in the sets up. I don't know if it's really a callback. It sets up the grandmother. That's a good joke.

That's well-written. That's a well-written joke, Josh. Brings up lots of emotions in that joke, really. Yeah, that's beautiful. Building tension. Yeah. That's a good joke. That's well-written. That's a well-written joke. Brings up lots of emotions in that joke, really. Yeah, that's beautiful. Building tension. Yeah. That's beautiful. Capped it off, you might say.

What are we, Josh? Caps it off? Yeah, I mean, there was a bunch of other stuff I wanted to ask you about. Oh, you can ask. No, you can ask. The AT&T Pro-Am, I mean. Oh, yeah. That had to have been a dream come true for you to play in that.

That is the dream. A lot of folks came out uh and followed uh and we're walking and i'm not talking to them i'm not gonna talk to them that we're on i mean ed yeah uh ot and off yeah let's nate uh so yeah they they said they saw my dad and uncle they followed us and if uh it was it was awesome uh uh yeah look at nate's back foot huh yeah it does it as he said i lean back still though i lean too far back i need to get on my left foot more yeah but it's uh But I hit the ball great. I played really good at Pebble.

And then, yeah, Derek got a caddy. They misspelled our bib. B-A-R-A-G-A-T-Z. Baragazzi. Baragazzi. Baragazzi. Very much Bargatzi-like. Kind of our first entrance to everything.

We get a little. But the whole experience was, I mean, it was a dream come true. And out of all the things that I've wanted to do, that was one of them. And Webb Simpson was great. Kevin Strillman's great. Larry Fitzgerald. I mean, everybody's obviously great. It was just the most fun.

And Derek did great. And it was, you know, crazy. Guy had a heart attack in front of us wow we were a caddy a caddy uh you know right and by the way we had another lady fall down bless her heart like you know like i mean older people just dropping like flies man they're just falling and then you got your dad out there and the whole time you're just like where i mean every second you're like where's someone falls you're like dad uh you're screaming for him and then uh but we uh like a group in front of us i mean they were and it was bo hostler and his group and i know both so we get done playing our hole we get there

and larry's like all right we got to be patient here and we're like why and then like and a caddy uh went down and had a heart attack. They were giving him CPR in the – it was like the Daryl – or the Hamlin thing. Yeah. They were giving him CPR in the fairway just like – and they did it for like 25 minutes. And then the ambulance kind of comes. They're giving him CPR in the ambulance. And what I heard was they got him going.

They got his heart going again. They stayed with him. And, you know, I think he's, I actually don't know past that, but he was doing better. And so, but it was, yeah, it was the same way to stop for like an hour. And like, it was just crazy. And then you just go, all right, hit again. And then you're like, I mean, I just topped it immediately.

I mean. What about his group? They, well, first we didn't know, I mean, honestly, people were thinking, did he die? Yeah, yeah. Like, it thought we, because he did die. His heart stopped. So then it's like, well, is he dead?

And so, but then they, like, let us play. Then you're like, I don't know if we should even be playing. Like, it's like, and the whole, like, there are a lot of Christians on the golf course too. So it's like, you know, we all said a prayer. Like, there's a lot of prayer going on. And then, but it's, then they tell us to hit. And then, so they, Amos comes, then they're like, kind of like, well, we got to play.

Like, you know, and so there, we hit. I mean, I just taught mine. I mean, I, I'm like, four of the worst shots I hit after. Because you just – it's like insane. I don't know what you're going to play. Bo and them are like going to just get out of the tournament because they're like – I mean, dude, he's walking up the hill and just – he's like 65. Well, he's not out of shape, not healthy.

Someone said he's had heart pains for two weeks and just didn't go get them checked, which is – i'm trying to do a whole joke about this but it's like yeah the older men like go get your dumb heart checked your heart is literally dumb at this point so if you start feeling craziness over there maybe get it checked out it's my i'm talking to my dad i'm talking to all the day you know that think that they don't do stuff this guy had heart pains for two weeks, and he's walking, and he just collapses. And then so he goes, and Bo and them are like, well, we kind of played through them, and they're not going to play.

And then we got word pretty immediate after that, like, he was doing better. And they were just going to quit because it was like they're in their group. They were with that guy. And they're like, they're just going to stop playing. And then they got word that, no, they got him going. You know, it's like that it was a positive thing. So then they came back and they were able to play.

But at first, it's like they're like, I mean, they were a mess. They were crying. Like, I mean, how could you not be? And so, but they ended up, you know, hopefully he's doing good. I don't know yeah what else I thought I had something I was going to say

but yeah but overall besides that fun time had a great time what percentage like I don't know

obviously everybody's got to be a good golfer but if there was some superstar do you think they like if you're a huge star but just a so-so golfer do you think they'd let you play yes huge star but just a so-so golfer do you think they'd let you play?

Yes. Like if The Rock wanted to get out there? I think if The Rock wanted to get out there they would maybe let The Rock do it. They would change the rules of golf. But I don't know if The Rock would

but I don't know if The Rock would do it because it would be a lot of people are watching you and no one's going to want to look awful. Look that awful. So that's the balance is it's a hard time for people to do that because I don't think most will do that.

I think most would, would not, but I guarantee you the rock wanted to play. They, they absolutely let him play. Aaron Rogers, by the way, that he's not a 10 handicap. He's like a two handicap and they gave him 10 strokes. They said that on PTI. Yeah. So it's insane. So he just had so many strokes. Are you a true seven? That's what your play does. on PTI. Yeah. So it's insane. So he just had so many strokes.

Are you a true seven? That's what your play does. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I probably even higher. But I mean, I probably said, I mean, I played that week. I can get up and down a lot.

Dusty, what are you? I have no idea what that even means, to be honest with you. Yeah. Then you played golf with Mark Wahlberg. But yeah, I played golf. Yeah, it's been a wild month. Golf to Wahlberg? But yeah, I played golf. Yeah, it's been a wild month. Golf to Wahlberg. I'm already Rich Day.

He's the one that knows Wahlberg. I've never met Wahlberg to that point. Wahlberg did not know me. But Wahlberg is awesome. Another one like Sandler. It's great to meet these guys and go, I want to be you. I want to be what you guys are.

And I love that. And, like, you know, he was – we played super fast. He was super cool. Just talks to you like you just – we're all just, like, hanging out. Like, you know, you just feel like you just jump in his world. And it's like, what's going on? How you doing? You know, and then we're just playing.

You're in his world. And he had to leave because he had to go do a movie. But he was great. It's just funny. The top comment is, Lee Ann Morgan, oh, my Lord. Mark Wahlberg. Oh, my Lord. My precious angel.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. A lot of people emailed me and said, Nate's on courtside of the Utah Jazz game. And a lot of Utah people were very excited about the person you were with, who I don't know. He's the coach.

Rich is another Rich. Rich is on the left. Rich is cramping my style because you and I used to hang out and go to stuff up our deck. He can do a lot. He can do a lot of stuff. I've got a beef with Rich. He's the coach of Utah.

He's a coach at Utah. Which one? The guy on your left? The guy on the right. His left. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that's who – look at – I'm blanking on his name.

Look up the coach. I'm blanking on his name now that I was with him that it's – because I'm on the spot. It's not him, but he's under Kyle. He's a defensive coordinator maybe? Yeah. I don't know if he's defensive or he is. Morgan Scali.

Yeah, Morgan. Morgan Scali. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, everybody loved Morgan. Morgan, because he played football, and he played – when did he play? He played when Aaron Rodgers played. Oh, okay. Yeah, he has like – I think he played – maybe he sacked Aaron Rodgers or something, but he played the day Aaron Rodgers started for Cal.

It was like his first time starting. So I was next to him and he was awesome. Morgan Scali's great. Yeah, everything's great. Mm-hmm. Like, it was, like, his first time starting.
