Today's episode of the Nate Land. Welcome everybody. We are somewhere. Y'all are hunting lions? What are y'all doing? Big game hunting? I'm gonna be looking for ant eaters. The most violent ones.

And see if they can beat an emo. I don't think you wanna walk up on an ant. I don't think you want to walk up on an animal. I don't think you do. So, why are we recording this? There's a few things. We're shooting the... Yeah, it's kind of a complicated bit. I think in a couple

weeks, you're out of town. So, we were... We're doing two today, and this one's going to air next week, and then the one we're taping next week is going to air the following week. Yeah. Because it's a quick turnaround. Yes.

Yeah. All right. Yeah, that's it. Because we're shooting all those specials too next week, so that's why. All right. You think people are like, yeah, man, just do the show. We don't care. I like to let everybody understand what's happening.

I think it's, you know. You also were genuinely trying to get to the bottom of it. I did know, yeah. Man, and now we know. Yeah. We pre-recorded some ads, so y'all are going to enjoy those next week. Yeah. Which will be an episode that's not even recorded yet.

That's true. That's true. But they were a whole thing. So. Yeah. I mean, it was wild. It was a wild experience. Look at these guys. They're still recovering. We're sitting at the table. Everybody raise your hand if you had a problem with the ads.

One, two. I enjoyed the ads. I don't know if I could say I had a problem with it. I enjoyed them. Enjoyed it too much. Enjoyed it too much. We were mid-ad read. We were already laughing a little bit. And then as I'm trying to get it back together, I'm starting to read and Brian goes...

He pulls the mic in. That is a very funny way to have a mic out. And then just the opposite of everything. You're just like, hold on, let me get a drink. I couldn't hold it together.

The slurp entered my head. Yeah. But we're not going to talk about animal fights this week because it's pre-recorded. Pre-recorded. But this is coming out next week. No, two weeks. For us, this is coming out next week, but they don't know that, so it'll be the week of.

The week of. So this is... It's today. It's today. Oh. So everybody listening, they should know this episode is coming out today. Right now. Right.

Okay. So, yeah, we talked about animal attacks or the thing. I was going to say we were going to talk about it again. Yeah. But just so you know, I'm sure you're fired up thinking, hey, today was animal attack day. And so, but because we had to prerecord this and the way it works out, we do want input from y'all.

So we're giving you another week to give input. Well, next week we're prerecording also. Oh, man. But we'll have input from you. Well, next week we're pre-recording also. Oh, man. But we'll have input from you. Well, that's true. That's true. Yes. Yeah, because next week we're recording.

Oh, yeah. We can do it next week because next week. Right. So Wednesday you're listening to this. Oh, wait. We'd have already recorded. The longer the explanation goes on, the more confusing it gets. No, Wednesday.

You want to have a time machine? Let's do the ad reads again. So the day this comes out is we're recording the prerecord Tuesday before that. I think that's true, right? Yeah. So we won't know. So we won't know the animal attacks. But we could talk about the animal attacks because people would have.

Oh, yeah, that's true. Yes, people would have emailed stuff in. Yeah it's a real web yeah yeah if you're following who's on it would be like if someone was trying to attack us during this podcast i mean i am like trying to help them out as much as possible by telling like i'm going here's how our scheduling, I'm going to tell you exactly where and when. So, yeah. Look, that's all stuff that should be talked behind doors. Yeah. And I like to, I guess I got it out there.

Yeah. It's out. You know, it shouldn't be your worry about when this, the people listening, they should not have to. We like to put a lot on their plate too, though. I'm a big believer in that. You make sure if everybody is getting to listen to this, they have to have as much on their plate as we do. That's not a solid move.

I mean, that is a solid move. It's only fair. It's only fair that they need the weight of the world on their shoulders too. I know I'm confused. Yeah. One of these, Dusty's. I know I'm confused. Yeah. One of these, Dusty's is not going to be here. Yeah. That's what's even crazy.

That is true. So we're doing all this, and there's going to be a point when you're going to click on it, and Dusty is someone else will be there. Yeah. It'd be kind of crazy. I may even not be here, but then pop up and poorly read an ad. There's a chance of that. Yeah. There's a chance of that. Yeah.

There's a chance of that. There's an above zero chance of that, definitely. That I'll be laughing like I'm in church, not supposed to be laughing. What's above zero chance? That's how you say it? Is that like 100% chance? No, it just means it's not impossible. Oh.

It was an odd way to say it in the moment, for sure. Do you say that a lot? I was hoping we'd moved on. I do say it. Maybe once a month, I'll say that. Oh, above zero? Yeah, there's an above zero chant. Is that a saying?

Have you ever heard the saying? Do you say zero, dark 30? I've heard that saying. That's a movie. Have you ever heard above zero? I don't think so. I can see Aaron saying it, though, once in a while. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, I see it. A non-zero chance. But you know what I meant. No, no, yeah, you said it your own way. I'm fine. I like you saying it your own way. We were talking this past Bridgestone weekend. I was in a room with Eric and Tony, who works, I think, does he work with Outback?

Mm-hmm. And Tony made a joke. He said, I get the numbers mixed up. I think I have dyslexia. And I go, that's actually dyscalculia. And Eric just goes, so you really like this, huh? Yeah. I was like, oh, man, I guess.

Is it dyscalculia?'s the that's dyslexia for numbers oh yeah yeah i did not know that yeah it didn't need to be said in the moment but no no you're like a walking vacuum vacuum the fun out of every room are you always on you just zoom he just squeeze up some fun thing that gets floated around, so he tries to make a joke. Yeah. No, you made it fun. Yeah, I like that.

Was there something on the bus this weekend you said that kind of like that? Oh, maybe. I don't know. Maybe it was in our Bible talk or something. I don't know. Oh, there was. No, we got in a whole earth, how the sun and earth and stuff, solar eclipse. Right.

There's something with the solar eclipse. Oh, yeah, that's true. And, you know. Yeah, I forget what it was. Well, that was a good point, though. But it was something about, oh, people living a long time in the Bible. You were like, they've just started to believe that they actually did live that long. Right.

I think that was the thing. That was the time I was on the bus. Yeah. Yeah. That was fun. That was fun. Yeah, it was. Yeah.

Should have probably kept it on the bus. If you all listening could have been there on the bus, you'd think y'all would have had a pretty good time. Yeah. The first 10 minutes of this podcast should have been outside oh yeah i mean there's a good chance two hours of every podcast should have been done outside yeah there's that's what our podcast is just a podcast that should be done outside before you walk in the room yeah yeah uh so these are going to read some of your comments, everybody. Donnie Chastain.

Donnie Chastain. So with that name, Chastain, in my head, very affluent family is what I think. The Chastain family. And Donnie is like, they don't talk to Donnie. And Donnie is like, and everybody's like, the Chastain? He's about like, you like the Chastains and he goes yeah yeah but they and Donnie's whole family there's just they just never got in with the Chastains that's like you know that's how I'm picturing Donnie and it's just like

like it's not even Donald it's always been Donnie it's Donnie yeah they didn't even think of Donald and just the Chastain, you know, when the pictures of the Chastains are in the paper and all that stuff, like Donnie's, you know, like we don't talk to him that much and you go, you know. But you're a fan of Donnie.

We like Donnie. Donnie's who I'm hanging out with. He's of the people. Donnie's, he's of the people. But I mean, you know, he's of the Chastains, but I mean, Donnie's in people. But, I mean, you know, he's of the Chastains. But, I mean, Donnie's in trouble a lot. And, you know, it has his name in the paper as well, but not on the celebratory occasion as the other Chastains. It's usually, you know, like kind of what happened last night picture

or something like that. I've watched every episode since the first one. Huge fan of each of you all. I was medically retired from the military after my second deployment. This is all ringing true so far. I struggle with PTSD and anxiety. Obviously, we fall for this country. This podcast has become my favorite show every week

and has become a great social icebreaker. Thank you for an awesome two-hour episode weekly. I should probably really read the comment before I... Yeah, hopefully the intro to the comment didn't... He's like, I'm a huge fan. And you're like, oh, sorry, Donnie. Yeah. Sorry, Donnie.

We're taking his life apart. That's not the name. But look, I'm going to say, Donnie, I said we were big Donnie fans. Right, right. We were. This is the Chastains, his Chastain side. Donnie served this country. And the Chastains are maybe the ones causing the problems of the country.

And the Donnie is the one that serves it. And that's maybe the rift of the Chastain family. So it's the wealth of the Chastains are just, you know, and Donnie just comes in here. And Donnie's a good dude. Donnie, when it all goes wrong, they're going to go call Donnie. And you could have a name like mine where neither first nor last name rings of money or elegance.

Oh, Dusty Slay? Yeah. You're not like, oh, you know, the wealthy slays. It sounds like a wrestler. Yes. And that's your biological name. Yeah. It sounds like, and not at even WWE.

Biological name. Yeah. It sounds like, and not at even WWE. Biological name. You're the only one that would get that. You're the only one that would catch that. Yeah. Your birth name. Yeah.

No, it's his bio. You don't think a guy born like that, he had no choice but being named Dusty Slay. I came out with a little card in my hand. Yeah.

Dusty's the first baby that was ever born that he decided his own name. Life chose it for him. Yes. Is it Dustin? I wouldn't say. Yeah. I'll say this. Oh, you won't tell us.

I'll say this. My parents have never called me anything but Dusty. Yeah. So regardless of what they wrote down, they meant Dusty. Yeah. You look at a big brother as government parent, anything that's just a little authority over you, you're always like. Yeah.

Yeah. So your family might not even know your real name, your biological name. Or I might not want them to know. Yeah. Maybe you don't even know. That's true. Who does know? You know what I mean? What are them to know. Yeah. You know? Maybe you don't even know. That's true. Who does know? You know what I mean?

What are birth certificates anyway? Little sheets of paper that have been photocopied so much that you can barely read them. And you got to keep them for the rest of your life. Yeah. You got to hold on to them. And social security cards that they say don't laminate. I'm like, well, how am I supposed to keep this intact all this time? What do you mean they don't laminate? I think it says do't laminate. I'm like, well, how am I supposed to keep this intact all this time? What do you mean they don't laminate?

I think it says do not laminate. Why not? I don't know, but. Can you laminate your birth certificate? Because you couldn't fill it. Because you couldn't fill it and maybe tell if it's real or fake. Oh, same reason you can't laminate money. But I've never had a social security card looked at like a $20 bill.

You've got a $20 bill held up to a social security card. I mean, to social security card i mean they're just like it depends on what you're doing with it yeah you know if you were using it to get a a loan i bet they'd look into it i don't but you do it to get a license i mean you do it to get a name a license who cares about a license i know but if you but if you had a license that if you're doing something that was fake and you were doing something no one's looked at your social security uh-huh i bet i bet you can get face those shooting numbers and cards i bet it's easy couple of phone calls oh dusting oh yeah i like that you said same way same reason you can't laminate money can you imagine someone showing up to a business with laminated money this guy how much is it i got a couple of laminated money. This guy, how much is it? I got a couple of

laminated bills here. They got a stack of cards. That'd be a clean, crisp 20. I mean, just to even have it in your pockets, what would your wallet look like? It doesn't fold like a wallet. You'd have to wear it like kids wear

their name tag on. You just walk around showing your money off. A lanyard, yeah. A lanyard, yeah. How much money do you got? Well, look. And then they look, they flip through it like it's a – A baseball card. Posters at Walmart.

Yeah. No, I was saying – yeah. Where was the posters at in the mall? One store had posters. What's that store? Where they're big, like a big book that you flipped through yeah yeah hot topic no wait no it wasn't hot no it was an older store than that yeah huh spencer's yeah yeah yeah that was a hot hot store yeah spencer yeah you shouldn't be going

that was an inappropriate store to go to go to when you're a young kid. I bought a fart machine from a Spencer's when I was in middle school. I had some good times with it. It was a good summer, dude. Spencer's Gifts, teenage boys are in there. It's more inappropriate as an adult. Oh, yeah. I go in there now, and I'm like, oh, what's going on in here?

As a kid, you was like, yeah. I go in there now and I'm like, oh, what's going on in here? As a kid, you was like, yeah. Dalton Locke. Recently moved back to Old Hickory, Tennessee. That last name makes complete sense. Dalton Locke sounds like someone I was going to guess is from Old Hickory. Recently moved

back to Old Hickory, Tennessee, and I saw a Nate Land sticker on a Camry during my morning commute. It brought me so much joy even though the Camry cut me off. We're having a great time. All right. Having a great time. Trying to think who... Yeah, I'm almost thinking I could probably figure out

who that is. Yeah. Abby? Yeah, might be an Abigail. Trevor Martin. Did Aaron ever consider that the Whopper ad he referenced that plays all the time might be a targeted ad no shade thrown

as I'm a bit of a hefty fella myself I would think that but I was not watching YouTube this is this is like the Super Bowl I think we were talking about

I don't think they're targeting ads for the Super Bowl to me cheers Super Bowl your Super Bowl. Your Super Bowl is a Whopper. Is your Super Bowl, when you have your own Super Bowl, do you buy a Whopper and a Big Mac and let them go at it? Yeah. You just do that in your room privately

and a whistle yeah you're in high school you walk in with two bags mom and dad don't knock on the door i'm going to be busy for a while and you said it there and you played with the whopper and Big Matt and then ate them. Eric Farmer. We're dead set on catching up in your podcast before we see Nate in Greenville on May 13th. In episode 65, Nate said to reach out and coordinate a round of golf during his travels. Avid golfer myself would love to sync up with you at my home club, Fox Run.

We're about 15, 20 minutes south of Greenville. The greens should be flying by May. If you can make it work, let's make it happen. I put that in because two years ago when Nate asked people to do that, now for two years I've been responding to people's emails every week, letting them know. Nate's not available this week, so I just put that on there. Yeah. Look, in theory I said, so I'll just put that on there. Yeah.

I did – look, in theory, I said it because I think I would like it. I also didn't realize how busy it would be. I don't – you know, look, if I can ever go golf with someone, I have a couple times, but it's pretty tough. It's just such a long – you know uh i need to go chip like i do what i could do like you just go practice a little bit or something or you know but it's like it's it's such a big commitment we're usually coming in on the bus the night before and it's just such a long everything's kind of a long day and these shows are you know they it's

more you just i don't want you don't want to be tired at the show and stuff so that's what ends Everything's kind of a long day, and these shows are – it's more – you don't want to be tired at the show and stuff, so that's what ends up happening a lot. So I wasn't able to do it. I honestly thought I was going to be able to do it. I had a guy in New Zealand offer some golf for you. He says, the nicest course outside of the United States. Oh, really?

Then he went on to say, there's no way I could ever get on there. I'm a plumber, so Nate's my only chance to get in there. So I appreciate this guy's honesty. He wants to play with you, but he needs you to get him on there. All right, yeah. All right, we'll try to get him on. Since we are so busy, the only way we buy tickets is last minute,

and Game Time has killer deals on last minute tickets and include their best get price guarantee uh i like the game team app because they make it very easy you see the seat view when you look at it uh like the it's like when you click on it and it shows you the price of the ticket it shows you the view of your seat which is pretty awesome because you know you try to get like where like how where am i what am I going to get a seat? Where am I sitting for real? And so this does-

Stream news outlet here. This is CNN travel. I wouldn't expect mainstream. I mean, mainstream's always covering for the conspiracies. So I don't believe it at all. Well, there's a map of her trek right there. Yeah. She didn't go all the way across.

That's for sure. Well, it's like a technical cross. But it's a cross. It's a long walk. I don't believe it at all well there's a map of her trek right there yeah she didn't go all the way across that's well she went it's like a technical cross but it's a cross it's a long walk i don't believe i don't believe that this woman took a boat down there by herself ported it at the dock just got out and walked 59 days she was in the middle of antarctica and started hallucinating started smelling fish and chips from a pub yeah Yeah, I think that's what happened. She was hallucinating from a fish and chip she ate at a pub. She's like, I'm in Antarctica. She says the plane dropped her off.

Yeah, I don't believe it. I mean, I appreciate you sending this in. I mean, that's temperatures minus 40 Celsius, so what's that? Minus 40. Minus 40. That would be a grand total of negative 40 Fahrenheit. How's that? Negative 40. So that's what she was having to walk in?

Yeah. That's what's like, people would do it if it wasn't for that. But I would like to feel that aloneness would be wild to just be. I don't buy it. I don't think that story's real at all. She said, I realized I was absolutely petrified. I wasn't scared of dying or injury. It was just that level of aloneness that was

instantly frightening. Just the weight of the amount of time on my own. Yeah. Go to Kansas sometime. Yeah. Yeah. I mean... Well, I don't know if I believe people are trekking across Kansas like they say they are. That's my conspiracy.

I don't think Kansas exists. Yeah. But, yeah, I just don't, I don't, I'm not buying this. That's pretty good. It was good.

It was not bad. Yeah, it was good. And then we're in Kansas City, Missouri, St. Louis, and you got a little Kansas City not in Kansas City.

Your own main city doesn't want to be in your state. Right. Yeah. Maybe it doesn't little Kansas City not in Kansas City. Your own main city doesn't want to be in your state. Right. Yeah. Maybe it doesn't exist. Eric Stone Streets. And then you have Arkansas spelled like Kansas. I've been to Kansas. Arkansas. Arkansas, yeah.

Kansas, Arkansas. I read this article. She talks about how you just feel so alone. William Shatner said something similar when he went up in Jeff Bezos' thing up in space. He talked about how the vastness of space and how everything's just, there's nothing alive up there. It made him kind of depressed. He had other people around him, though.

He did, but I guess just looking out, like, it would make me, I think, feel, like, happy. She said she cried for the first 15 days. It wasn't until day 15 that she stopped crying. She's pretty cold, I guess. Well, it's tough for women to do a lot of stuff. Yeah, I mean, I don't buy that story at all. I think William Shatner got depressed because he got up there and realized space wasn't real yeah all this dog track stuff was all a hoax that would be depressing yeah yeah that would also be sad uh yeah all right all right i appreciate you sending

that but i i don't i'm not buying it i don't know what it take to make me believe it but i don't buy it uh i mean this we might talk to this lady, but you're not going to believe that. Yeah, dropping you off there. Well, I'd love to talk to her. I wouldn't mind talking to her. I mean, she made up a name, Felicia Ashton. Ashton, that sounds like a fake name. Yeah, it does.

Yeah. I thought you told me about someone who was walking across it, and then they killed him because he was getting too close to something he wasn't supposed to see. No, I don't know about that. Okay. Yeah. I'm not saying it's not a place. Now, you i mean but i just don't think that's what we have to we do we do have to address that with people when they're listening we have to go everybody dusty believes

in it yeah i know i just don't believe you're allowed to just go down there and walk around yeah i do she did have to probably get some paperwork done to do this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They let her do it. Yeah. Yeah. She called the government of the mayor of Antarctica. Yeah.

And look at her path, though. It looks like her path could just be right. She's just like, ah, how this coming? That looks like a very broad picture of, like, that looked like it snowed in Arizona. Yeah. Yeah. That's on a movie set somewhere.

Did she give us some footage? Did she come back with some footage? Well, cameras don't work down there. She took that picture. No, I'm kidding. But yeah, she took that picture right there. She cried. Yeah.

That's her crying. Yeah. Oh, man. How would she... Yeah, yeah when they just come get her they did they come just pick her up at the end or she call them or i don't think it said yeah yeah it doesn't say in this article where she went well that shows kind of the track but i don't know yeah i don't know if there's another community right there where she landed or if she had to turn around and walk back. That'd be rough.

I bet she, yeah, they said grab me at the other side. Right. All right. Scott Schaefer, as an English teacher, I often joke with my students about how evil English is with learning new words and how to pronounce things. Isn't it weird that tomb and womb are pronounced the way they are, but bomb isn't pronounced boom? It is interesting. There's some TikTok videos of people acting like they're teaching people to learn English words. And it is wild how many words are like spelled the same but sound

different or uh spelled differently and sound the same and it's wild like there people always make fun of people about there but it's like there's three ways to spell there it's like we could have came up with a different word you know what i mean there is uh yeah english is one of the hardest languages isn't it? Yeah. That's what they say. Yeah. That's why we only do one.

They say that a lot of people say that it's like- We've done our part. It's like spell casting in a way. That's why they say when you're learning, you're spelling. Who are these people? Oh, man. What a reach. There are people out there, but there's a lot that goes into it.

But I didn't know that this would be on here. I would have to be briefed again to come up with the words. But there is some stuff behind it, some wild words. I'd like to see a conspiracy briefing. Yeah. I bet it's pretty fun. Yeah. You hear about briefings in government,

but a nice conspiracy meeting briefing would be like, brief me on what's up, and it's like, well, the sun's kind of wacky. And then you're like, okay, okay. And then you run off. Yeah, you try to get a few details, and then you can come back, and then people go, well, what do you mean by spells? And then I would go, well, this word, this word, this word, this word. But I wasn't prepared.

That's okay. Yeah. Prepared. This word, this word, this word. But I don't know. I wasn't prepared. That's okay. Yeah. Prepared.

Kyle Garcher. In 2007, my senior prank made national news headlines. Acting as a made-up student pep club, I tricked the opposing football team into holding up poster boards that spelled out, we suck. I don't like that word. Across the stadium, I had a friend film the whole thing

and I put a quick video on YouTube. By Monday, the video was being covered nationally. I was suspended from school as punishment. Is there a video of it? At the end of that article, there is. Yeah, glad we got it up. I'm ready to go. There's a link to the

video here it is that's pretty well i thought we might the article had some more details that i thought we might want to learn about but there it is it's forming oh that's funny they didn't know what they yeah that's oh that's great yeah yeah why would you get suspended for that? I mean, I guess you kind of have to. Were they good? That's unbelievable. They lifted the suspension later. He said he was on Good Morning America. Jay Leno wanted to have him on.

And so many people emailed the school board that I think it crashed the server, and he eventually got reinstated. Yeah. And he became a school hero. Yeah, I mean, it was – yeah, it's such a smart – like, that's a – like, you know, that's someone that's smart. Yeah, that's a – I think it was a new school, and the article talked about it. It took him 20 hours to put all this together, but he convinced the fans there that they were – I don't know. I forgot what it was. They thought they were this together, but he convinced the fans there that they were, I don't know, I forgot what it was.

They thought they were holding up, but. And it makes sense. You wouldn't know. You're just getting sent. One little spot. One little part. Yeah. Yeah.

So. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, that's great. That's funny. All right. All right. Jeff Podzwick. Podzwick, dusting the mid-2000s.

I worked with many pesticide products in the garden nursery industry that have now been banned or recalled for being unsafe to exposure. What is your inside take on what was really going on and being put in all of these recalled pesticides? Well, I don't have an inside take, but I just, you know, I think that- The man's gotten to you. Well, you know, they put out, you know, a chemical and then later it'll be banned and then they just come up with a new chemical and then it gets banned and then they just come out with a new one. And it's like and then they just come out with a new one and it's like you know people are trying to make money because people want to kill stuff in their

yards so you know i just think it's one of those things where it's like you know um you know what i mean you sound like big pesticide yeah well it's like i think they're bad i don't like them but it's like you know like my front yard I put some pesticides out in my front yard the other day. I don't like, herbicide is what I put out. But I don't like to do that. But my neighbor's yard looks great. The yards around me look great. And I'm like, well, I want to kill these weeds too in the front

because I don't want to be the one neighbor that's looking like got a real bad looking yard out here. Yeah, you're already dumping your food scraps in a box in the backyard that's backyard that's all back i know but i'm saying you're already a lot yeah right you're already like so it's like less let's at least clean up the front yard it's a mullet your house is a mullet right or no what is it is it a mullet part no it's more of a business in the it's a mullet. Business in the front, party in the back? Exactly.

That is exactly right. My yard's a mullet. You live a lot of life like a mullet. Yeah, that's exactly right. But what about that fence? That's the backyard, right? The fence is now covering up the backyard, yeah. But your neighbor was mad about the fence. Yes.

He doesn't care about my yard, but I just want it to look like the rest of the neighborhood. Or better, you know. So I got some stuff kind of taken over so i sprayed it there and you need something good but that keeps getting weaker and weaker and weaker because they keep banning all the good stuff does he put up a fence but he put it up the wrong way and they were maybe turning around i put it i did i haven't i talked about that i got to a little fight with my neighbor about the fence have we i think on your podcast okay but yeah i got well i got a fence and my my i had to i have a homeowners

association so i had to go through them and they were like you have to get permission from your neighbor so i was like all right i gotta get permission to put up what everybody else in the neighborhood already has okay so i talked to my neighbor he goes it's fine i go we don't have a survey done but i figure me and you can just get out there and look at the yard and decide where I put the fence. And he goes, nope, got to have a survey. So I had to pay a lot of money to get a survey. And then I get the survey. It turns out I had a little more yard than what we were kind of living out there. So that was great. I liked that. So you liked the survey.

I liked it. And I actually, matter of fact, I left the stakes in the ground, I liked it. And I actually, matter of fact, I left the stakes in the ground showing what my yard was for a lot longer than I needed to, because I wanted him to see what was going on. Was he in your yard? He was, well, he, yeah, he had a little, like his grass is different looking than mine. So a little bit of his grass was on my yard. So then I get the fence built and the guy goes, do you want the nice side on your side or facing out? And I was like, well, I'm building the fence. So I want the nice side on my side. But then the guy comes out. He's all mad.

I left. He's all mad. He's talking to my wife about it. My wife's like, I don't even know what you're talking about, man. And so I get home and he goes, you got the nice side on the wrong side. I go, why do you get the nice side? And then he's like talking got the nice side on the wrong side. I go, why do you get the nice side? Then he's talking about the Homeowners Association covenant. He's like, it says right here in the covenant.

Then I was like, all right, this guy read it. I didn't read it. I figure he knows what he's talking about. I said, all right, well, I'll flip it. It's a wood fence. A wood fence, yeah. I had to get the guys to flip it. They were nice and they did it, but it was like they had not finished it all the way.

It's like me and this guy have only ever had small talk about the lawn we'll be like oh it's a nice day oh look your grass looks great that kind of stuff and then i'm out there cussing at the guy and i didn't i didn't want to be doing it but he just he had already cost me so much money and uh i was so mad at this dude but we've made up now we're friends now but it was just i i don't know if i've ever heard of someone not having the nice side on the outside. What do you mean by nice side? What's different? It's either flat or you have that little bar in the middle.

And do you want the flat side? The flat side is the nice side. It's the outside. I've never heard. I mean, I don't. Well, it's like facing the road. I put the nice side outside because that's what the whole neighborhood sees. Yeah.

But it's like we're talking the divider in between our, you know, it's like I have my neighbor's fence on the backside of me has the nice side facing me. So I thought, well, at least it'll match, you know. Okay. And so I was like, yeah, I'm paying for it. Yeah, yeah. Well, his nice side is facing you because just uh you know naturally i think

people would build a fence like that yeah but i wanted it to match i was like i got this side like this so now it'll match you do you use that guy's fence did you lock into his fence or you you didn't put your i locked into his fence yeah yeah you have to ask him about that no he's not he actually has a taller fence than he's allowed. Yeah. And I've never complained on him, so he doesn't. He doesn't got anything to say. Yeah. So you just put, yeah.

Yeah, so I just do what I want to do out there. Yeah, yeah. And then, you know, sometimes I run into some issues, but we patch it up soon. Well, I'm going to tell Dusty again. He had a septic tank put in, and the guy's uncle died, and Dusty got mad about it because his uncle died. Well, yeah. Well, this guy is building a septic tank for me, and he kept putting it off.

He's like, oh, the weather's bad, or oh, that can't get out there this week because of this. And then he's like, oh, my uncle died. And I'm like, your uncle? Come on, man. Yeah. Like a brother or mom or dad. Yeah, but your uncle? It's like, come on, get to work, man.

You know what I mean? I had an uncle that died and my sister sent me the obituary and I was trying to pull it up. I was in a store. It was loading real slow. And I was like, oh man, I was bummed. I was like, I haven't seen this guy in a while. And I was like, I'd like to go to the funeral. I haven't seen that side of the family in a long time and by the time the obituary pulled up i realized he had been dead for a year and a half and we had no idea no one told our family so i'm like your uncle come on man yeah you know what i mean unless your uncle raised you it's like i mean my uncles i would go to their funeral yeah but you're not like you know you're this guy's getting paid by the job you know it's like i mean i'm close to my uncles i would go to their funeral yeah but you're not like you know you're this guy's getting paid by the job you know it's like let's get to work here

he's dusty looks at it as like you probably your family's probably like my family where there's a five families yeah and so you're like an uncle's like a very yeah loose it's like i like my uncles too but i'm like would you cancel a really big gig for an uncle funeral? That's a good question. Depends on which uncle, but. Yeah, yeah, see? I mean, yeah, that's a good question. Yeah.

I mean, is this a big. That's how I always think about it. What I cancel, like. I mean, this guy was probably close with this guy. He was in Mississippi, right? I think a lot of it depends on the age, the situation. Would you have missed Nate's Bridgestone show to go to a funeral? It really depends on the age and a lot of circumstances and a lot of that stuff.

And you can sometimes pick a day or two sometimes, too, if it's someone that's in. I mean, even if it's sudden, unless it was like someone's out of the country or something, you would be like, we're going to do it. All right, next Tuesday will be this and go in. But, yeah, I think it's the situation. For the record, I've made up with both of these people. And I didn't really get mad at the uncle guy, but I did in my own head.

I was like, dude, come on. We got to get this done here. Okay? You can't take off work every time a relative passes. The problem is he's always taking off work. And then you're like, you've let it build up to this, your uncle died. Right. And it almost could feel like it's not real.

Yes. You should have been like, I want to send flowers. Yeah. Yeah. Give me the obituary. That's true. But you know- And his name has to be in the obituary to prove it. Yeah. Oh yeah. My uncle that died, they didn't even list my mom or her other brother's name in the obituary. They listed one of the uncles. So it's four siblings and they listed one of them and not the other two. Oh, wow. Yeah. They really just left our whole family out of this.

Yeah. Wait a minute. Y'all weren't even, you didn't know he died. Yeah. Clayton Knoll. It has been said several times on the podcast that Nate does not listen to the lyrics of his favorite songs and that leads him to like happy sounding songs with depressing meanings behind them.

The song used for his special Good Day by 21 Pilots is about being in denial after losing everything you love in life. Love the podcast and love the Nate is still not understanding the music he listens to. What is it about? About being in denial after losing everything you love in life. Today's a good day. Never know.

Never know when the next one will show. It'll show. So I'm going to sing my soul. I'm going to sing my soul. Yeah. I don't know if it's about a guy in denial so much as a guy choosing to just press on. Yeah, it seems like a guy that's like not going to let a little death in the family get him down. He got to go to the uncle's funeral. Like a guy that's like, I'm not going to let a little death in the family get him down. He lost his job, his wife, and his child.

His friend just sued him. So he's got a lot going on. He's got a lot going on. Oh, where's that at? That's in the first verse. Wow, he gets right to it. I mean, I did play it because it feels fun. It does feel fun.

You know, Billy Joe Shaver has a song, Try and Try Again. And he says, he talks about in that song losing his wife and his son and all his money. And he says, if at first you don't succeed, just try and try again. Losing things is not necessarily sad, you know? It's going to get back on it. Get back at it. Okay. There you go. Does that make sense? Yeah, at it. Okay.

There you go. Does that make sense? Yeah, it does. Am I losing you guys here? Well, I mean, this guy lost his wife and kid? Oh yeah, wife and his job and his kid. Yeah, it's a good song though. It is a good song. Chris Biggs.

At work, we did one of those icebreakers during a team meeting, and the question was, who would you like to have dinner with, living or dead? I tried to be funny saying I wanted to have dinner with comedian Dusty Slay because he doesn't believe in dinosaurs or the moon landing, and it'd be fun to hear him explain all these conspiracies.

My boss went next and chose Ben Franklin, saying how he was not only an extremely intelligent scientist, but also a statesman at the same time, which would lead to captivating conversations. I don't think I'm going to be getting a promotion anytime soon. I have to agree. I'm on your side, Chris. I get you want to meet Ben Franklin.

I mean, meet and talk to them because they're just these brilliant kind of minds and stuff like that. But you're like, if you're like, what kind of fun conversation are you going to have? Like, some of these, they're so smart that you're like, I mean, I don't know, I could go talk to a rocket scientist. Like, I'm not going to have a great time. Like, I'm not going to know what he's talking about. Yeah.

But if you look at stuff to be, like, fun and go like, yeah, I'd rather, that's going to be super fun. Like I'm going to be way more like, oh, yeah, that's crazy. All right, yeah. A lot of people believe Ben Franklin ripped off a lot of his ideas from other scientists. So maybe the four of us could have a dinner together and I could ask Ben about it. Yeah. Yeah, it'd be tough to have just conversation.

He's from 250 years ago, Ben Franklin. So you have nothing to talk about. You have no overlap in your life experiences. What is that dinner like? I'd be like, Ben. I could think of some things to talk to him about. What would you do? What was it like?

Ben Franklin. How long did it take you to get there? What was it like to do what? I'll go. Yeah. How hard was it to? My man Franklin asked me. How long did it take you to get there? What was it like to do what? I'll go. Yeah. How hard was it to have a horse? What are these lights on the ceiling? You got some basic stuff.

What was the temperature like back then? I don't know. I didn't have thermometers, dude. Did you have a lot of days where you thought it was hot and gross? Yeah, I did. And you ought to wear all those clothes. Did you ever wear shorts? I'd wear, they're called knickerbockers.

I know, but then you had those long socks. Would you ever just go no socks? And around the house. Yeah. Never outside. Did you know Nikola Tesla? Oh, no. Totally different time period.

Oh. Oh. Did you know him, though? No. You just said it. I mean, Dusty. I think Ben's got you. He's from a different time in the world.

Was he before or after? He was after me, for sure. Oh. You know what? Maybe I'm thinking about Thomas Edison. Yeah, this is Ben Franklin. Yeah. Oh, and now look at you.

Now you're trapped. You used your one wish, and you're at the wrong guy. I know. Actually, I like you a lot, Ben Franklin. Yeah, yeah about you you're a hundred dollar bill did you know did you know no i didn't that's pretty neat yeah yeah oh good for me yeah and that's one of our bigger ones that's one of the yeah is it the biggest it's the biggest wow oh there is stuff about ben franklin though but uh it's fun stuff though i think what is it like he was involved in like some secret societies he did a lot of wild partying and stuff like that yeah oh yes that would see that's that stuff that's all pretty out there though I think yeah I think I like the idea

though that you have accidentally gone to the wrong person yeah yeah and accused so then you gotta go wait do you know Thomas do you know Thomas Edison? Would he have known Thomas Edison? No. No. I was thinking about a different person. Thomas is after. Yeah. I like Ben Franklin. About 100 years. He goes, do you know?

He goes, God, I have so many Thomas Edison questions. I mean, that's what's so – you have so many Thomas Edison questions, and a guy that doesn't know – he couldn't know who he is because it's just so far. Edison was born in 1847, and Ben Franklin died in 1790. Oh, my God. I mean, he wouldn't even understand the name Thomas Edison. Well, you could say something like, you know that whole kite and electricity? Right.

Thomas Edison's going to take it to the next level. In what way? I don't know. Light bulbs. His kite flies higher. Yeah. Oh. Light bulb.

Yeah. Bulb. Yeah. See, that's the difficulty. Think about all the things in this room that Ben Franklin couldn't even, he couldn't just ignore all of this and have a conversation with you. No. In the summertime.

This is all crazy. He'd be like, why is it wintertime in the house? Yeah, exactly. Well, you just, you do it in the Roman Coliseum. You got to have an even playing field. Yep, where the same animals are fighting. So if anybody has any wish questions, they all have to happen in the Roman Coliseum.

While Nate is eating with Ben Franklin. I'm saying, I like that. Anytime we get something where someone brings up something, it has to happen in the Coliseum. Because then we can have a conversation about it. If that's even a real place. Yeah.

But I mean, right now, Dusty's at this dinner. And I've really miscalculated this. It is awkward. I mean, right now, Dusty's at this dinner. And I've really miscalculated this. It is awkward. I mean, it's hard to go. When you come back, they go, how was it? You're like, I'll be honest with you, I spent most of it going, Thomas Edison. And Chris Biggs is like, dang, I wish I had not invited Dusty.

It's a one-hour dinner. That's who he brought. He brought this really hurting the moon conversation when you don't even know. And then the good thing is if you were like, I don't know if I believe in the moon, Ben Franklin might be like, oh. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. They're not even thinking about the moon. Oh, yeah. You could go, the Earth is flat, all this stuff. They would be like, yeah, yeah. Check. No, it'd be the opposite. Huh?

I mean, he was a scientist. What is that? They didn't do anything back then. They have lights. I mean, they go, what's he going to do? He invented the bifocals. So he can see the ground closer? Like, I mean, it doesn't even, it means he can't, like, what, they have a torch?

He wouldn't know about Antarctica. That's true. And they also would not know about dinosaurs. Or America. Or gorillas. Right? He was 1776. Yeah.

He was Mr. America. Well, yeah, that's true. He signed the Declaration of Independence, yeah. Well, just at the very end. He'd be like, look what we've done with the place. It depends on when you talk to Ben Franklin. If you talk to him when he's 20, he's not going to know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, for sure. I don't know about America. I think if you're talking Ben Franklin, you're thinking old man Ben Franklin. You're not thinking 15-year, 16-year-old. You better hope. Yeah. You better hope. Ben Franklin, look what we've done with taxes. Oh, he'd be so mad.

He'd be like, what? This is why we left. Yeah. Poor Richard. Ashley Matthews. One aspect of the show that I find interesting but doesn't get discussed too often is the impressive array of hats you all have. I think a hats episode or a small segment could be interesting as you are all clearly hat connoisseurs. My absolute favorite hat is Nate's Whisper Rock Golf Club one.

Probably the most beautiful hat I've ever seen. Wow. Wow. I don't know if I've seen that. That's a golf club. This hat today is a guy who came to my golf tournament. Yeah, he's the one who invited us to be his team. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. All right. There you go. So he gave me this hat, and it's his company. Is that the hat you have? This one? No, I think I have a different one. It's a different one.

The hats are like, you know, I just, I mean, we all kind of have different hats. I think it's, I wear some of the same ones, but people give us hats, and I'll just wear them. It's not, you know, sometimes it's, I got a lot of Travis Matias, you know, Vandy hats. Like, you have a bunch of different hats. But, you know, someone likes a fan sometimes. Yeah, a guy gave me this hat in Mobile, Alabama.

Yeah, sometimes it's just like a random. St. Louis, somebody gave me this. Yeah. Yeah, so it's just kind of fun. Have you seen the Nashville Sounds finally came out with their theme night? They're the Nashville Hot Chickens. I think the uniforms are garbage, but the hats are very cool. So are they not the Nashville Sounds anymore?

They're still the Nashville Sounds, but every now and then they wear this alternate jersey where they become for the night the Nashville Hot Chickens. Okay. See that little hot chicken with pickles on a piece of bread? Yeah. It's pretty nice. I need some – I don't have sound stuff. Like that's – Nashville sounds have a great hat with that end on it. Yeah.

I need to get one of those. I like those old school – Yeah, yeah, yeah. With the music note on the end. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But this jersey is a bit of a disappointment, I think. It's like an all-star jersey.

Like it feels like, I don't know. With the flame and. I think when you see them wearing it, you'll be like kind of, like the point of it is being kind of gross. Like that's the point of it. Okay, just, yeah. And it's like, so it's like kind of like fun. And I think it will age well.

Like when you think in 20 years, you're going to be like, yeah, that's awesome. It looks like that fake poster you made to convince us. It looks like I designed it on Photoshop. Yeah. Anyway. Did you see where the Florida Marlins are doing Bartman Appreciation Night? Oh, are they? That's nice.

When they played the Cubs. Oh, yeah. Kind of sending. It's like. Yeah. Oh, are they? That's nice. When they played the Cubs. Well, it's kind of sending. It's like... Yeah. Oh, because they won. I don't like that at all. MLB World up in arms over incredibly tacky promotion. And they should be.

I don't like that at all. Bartman Appreciation Weekend. I was on board with it until I didn't understand what was going on. I'm like, I'll go to that. Finally. I don't like that at all. What happened? Is that where a guy caught?

That's where the guy tried to catch a foul ball and messed up the game and then the whole city of Chicago. He didn't mess up the game. He't do anything from their purposes yeah yeah no this guy ruined this guy's life right oh yeah it is a wonderful guy and so now they're taking advantage of it uh and it's yeah it's insane because they can did he like change his name and change his appearance and move to another no he's never done interviews never done anything never asked for anything, never, you know, like just wants to be kind of – they left him just a good guy that was excited, and they ruined his life.

Yeah. They ruined his life. I mean, he's made his life probably great afterwards, but they just – they're still doing it, and it's been whatever the years are. Wasn't it the Marlins they were playing in that game too? Yeah, that's why they're doing it. Okay, yeah, yeah. That'd be really weird if they had nothing to do with it.

Right. Sarah Nistetter. We were talking with the kids recently about Noah and the Flood. Is it a story they have heard? Oh, it is. I actually read that backward. It is a story they have heard many times. This time our first grade daughter

asked, how did God flood the earth? If it is round like a ball, wouldn't all the water just fall off? I couldn't help laughing, wondering how Dusty answered this question. Well, it's a question I ask myself all the time. But the water is being held right now. Yeah. I mean. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, that's what they're saying. It's, yeah, I don't know. Tell her gravity. It's gravity. Yeah. Is that where you're going? Gravity. That's the answer?

Yeah. I'm going to draw on a limb here and say gravity is involved. You're going gravity? Where are you going to go with it? I'm also going to go with gravity. Dusty, where are you going to go with it? I'm going to go Antarctica, stretched around. Antarctica's the bottom of the ocean.

It's everywhere. It's the interior. Yeah. I like that one. I'm going to go. I like that one. Yeah. Antarctica is-

It's more fun. Because the top of it is where it goes, and then it just folds up. Yeah. So the bottom of the ocean is all Antarctica. Yeah. I'm going to go with that. I like that. I like that too. I like that too. Yeah. I'm going to go with that. Right, right, right. I like that. I like that, too.

I like that, too. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good answer. You know, an interesting thing about Noah, though. Is it on the board? Noah, though, is that when you, they always say two by two. You know, the animals went on the ark two by two.

But it says, in the Old Testament, it says all the clean animals went in numbers of sevens and the unclean in by twos oh what's a clean and well they get into that you know levitic uh yeah leviticus really breaks down the clean versus the unclean animals but leviticus had not even been written yet when when the flood was happening so they seem to know clean versus unclean even back then. Pigs are clean. Well, unclean. Pigs are unclean. I'm joking.

I know. Is there any kind of archaeological evidence that there was a massive flood? I think so. Okay. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. All right.

Yeah. I don't think this is a place for that. Well, yeah. But I just, you know, they brought it up. Oh, yeah. No, no. Just say that interesting thing. I'm just joking around. No, I think they're right.

I think every ancient religion or many have a similar story. Talk about a flood. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. There you go.

I hope you're happy. You can't get that college. They don't want you. They try to get out of you, don't they? I went to a pretty Christian college. It's still a college. Yeah. You're right.

They were at odds the whole time. Yeah. Yeah. They want you. They don't. Yeah. They floated some stuff in there. Those teachers.

And you see it pop up every now and again. Yeah. Yeah. It comes out of them. All right. I'll push it back down. Yeah. Sorry, y'all. There you go.

Do the right thing. Try it free for 30 days. You've heard that. You've been suckered in. Well, you're probably going to forget about it, and you're going to end up paying for a subscription. Yet you don't use every single month. With Rocket Money, you can change that with a few quick taps. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels

your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps you lower your bills all in one place. It also helps you manage all your finances in one place and automatically categorizes your expenses so you can track your budget in real time and get alerted if anything looks off. I like this. I get a little alert. Hey, we noticed a large transaction. You might want to take a look at that. Very nice to have. Over 3 million. Way up through Michigan. We drove from Nashville all the way up through the UP. Yeah. Connected through Sault Ste. Marie. Came around through the UP. So I've seen a lot of it. Yeah. We did Traverse City and then up around to Sault Ste. Marie and then Harris, Michigan.

And then I think we did some stuff in Wisconsin. Maybe not that same run. Yeah, part of it. So I do like it up there. It's a lot more like the South than they want to admit. I've been all over Michigan. I mean, all over it. I love it.

Yeah. Do they not want to admit it? I think they're, I mean, it's just middle of the country. Like, it's like, yeah, it is like here. But Michigan, yeah, I mean, I think it's – I think you're probably right. Very blue collar. Yeah, I think you're probably right.

Yeah. I may have said that wrong. Like, Illinois would be something that – you know, because they want to be like Chicago or something. But then you're like, well, the rest is – New York. New York is like – you know, New York's It's all the cities But Michigan's not

Yeah they're not Condescending about I don't think so Okay you're right Yeah You're right Yeah So Michigan's two

Peninsula Peninsulas Did I say that right Yes Wow Thank you The lower peninsula Is the shape of a mitten

Yeah And then the upper peninsula Or the UP And they're separated by the Strait of Mackinac. And then the Mackinac Bridge... Mackinac spelled like Mackinac

in some places, right? There's two spellings. That's right. Remember that? I do. Yes, it's Mackinac Island, but then there's Mackinac City. Yeah. Oh, did I say it wrong? No, no. You said it right.

You said both ways. Oh. But that's the bridge right there. It connects the UP with the rest of it. Lee and Morgan's done some shows on Mackinac Island. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You can't.

There's no cars on there. Oh, wow. So you have to take a boat to the island and then get around the rest of the day on horse and carriage. I love that. Really? Yeah. Oh, jeez. Why not just do it right there? That's big money, though. to the island and then get around the rest of the day on horse and carriage. I love that. Really? Yeah.

Geez. Why not just do it right there? That's big money, though. It's one of the big tourist destinations to go. Oh, it does look really nice. I'd actually like to live there. Yeah. No cars?

Yeah, okay. Supposedly beautiful there. This looks way better than I thought. There was a movie somewhere in time with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymane seymour okay mackinac island wow oh yeah i've heard of like i mean this looks like where they filmed the truman show i mean this looks like that's in seaside florida i know but i'm saying this looks like it yeah but if you go there and the weather's nice And you just Yeah, that's so crazy No cars How do they get stuff? I guess they get on that boat

Yeah, I guess they do the boat Yeah, this seems amazing I think it's just a tourist spot I don't know how many people live there And they have no cars? I believe that's correct huh yeah i don't see any of those pictures they have a population of 583 people live there i'm guessing most of them probably just work work in the you know hospitality but 818 live in the same house? Where's that at?

Right after it? Oh, that huge house, I'm guessing. That one that we saw. It looked like the White House, but it really stretched out left and right. Anyway, I can't find it. This big one. So a person from Michigan is called a Michigander

or Michiganian, I guess. But people from the Upper Peninsula are sometimes called Yupers. Yupers. And you know what they call people from the bottom? Trolls. Trolls. Oh, wow. Because they live below the bridge, like a troll would.

What bridge? The Mackinac Bridge, the one that goes... That bridge that connects. Yeah, the Upper Peninsula really seems like it should be Wisconsin. It's more connected to Wisconsin than it is Michigan. Yeah. It doesn't even touch Michigan. Yeah.

Yeah, I didn't see that. Yeah, it doesn't even touch Michigan. What doesn't even touch Michigan. What doesn't? The Upper Peninsula. You're right. Yeah, it's just sort of a part of Wisconsin. Oh, wait. Oh.

Oh. So this is the UP, right? Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if I've ever even been up there. I guess not. I don't think I ever knew Michigan went up there.

Yeah, it's like really, it's awesome up there. How much higher it is than part of Canada. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Toronto's way down there. Yeah, that's very interesting. I don't know if I've ever known that. Yeah, me and Aaron got a video on YouTube of driving across that thing.

We were there in May, and this Lake Superior was frozen. Yeah. In May. Still huge ice blocks on the shore. I honestly just thought Michigan was that glove. The mitten? Well, that's the main part people think of. Yeah, that's all I've ever thought of.

So you can imagine the animosity the Oopers have to the trolls. They're sort of second-class citizens. Well, the trolls they look down on. That's not a good name. Well, I don't think they look down on them. I think they're resentful that they're being looked down on. I know they gave them a pretty rough name. Yeah.

I don't think anybody's called a troll, and they think, all right, appreciate it. Some real rough biker guys yelled that at us when we were on stage bombing in harris michigan at a casino in the daytime you called your trolls they were telling us that that's what they call people down oh because we were like yeah we were just down in trevor city and they were like trolls and they were like it was pretty nice there they were nicer to us than you're being right now. Yeah, I love Michigan. I mean, I just went and did a thing way up on the tip of the lower peninsula. Very nice area.

I wonder how did Michigan get that part? Wisconsin just kind of let it go. I don't know. That's a good question. I think there was a war. I think there was a war. I think there was a battle. With Canada? I mean, was Michigan even, you know,

was there a point that they go, why do we even want this part? You should sell it to somebody. They had a border dispute with Ohio. The UP is part of the same Great Lakes ecosystem as Wisconsin's Northwoods, and there's a water boundary between it and Michigan's Lower Peninsula. The border dispute led to Michigan's ownership of the Upper Peninsula.

So there was a war. There's bloodshed. People died because of this. And over between Wisconsin and Michigan? Between Ohio. Yeah, I don't know how Ohio gets in there. Ohio always finds its way in, dude. They always want to decide.

Ohio and Michigan, I mean, they have some big problems. Yeah, why is Ohio jumping in there? They just, dude, they got nothing else going on. They always try to ruin everybody else's stuff. I got to look into this. I'll look into this and I'll report back. Dang it. You guys know the Ohio fan?

He's really slamming. It goes back to Notre Dame again. Do you guys know the capital of Michigan? Traverse City. I would say Detroit. That's a good guess. Lansing. You are correct.

Oh, dang. Close. Michigan's called the- Why were ours good guesses? Well, Detroit would be kind of an obvious choice. Oh, you weren't saying good guess to Traverse City? But Traverse City's a good guess because you didn't go with the obvious choice. I think Traverse City is the cherry capital of the world.

The bar was pretty low for a guess. Well, at least they got two cities in the state. You did the obvious one. You did a not obvious one. Great guesses. Traverse City is the cherry capital. Okay. They got all the cherries up there.

Oh, so yeah. So better put the capital there, huh? Well, it's the capital of something. I didn't know that. Yeah. I was just there. Had a cherry pie at the airport. Oh, yeah?

Yeah. Way early in the morning, but I was like, this could be good. How was it? It was good. Yeah. The girl asked me, did I want was like, this could be good. How was it? It was good. Yeah. The girl asked me, did I want to heat it up? I said, yeah. And then she didn't really do it.

Oh. Did they even have really a microwave? I don't know what she had, but she was like, do you want to heat it up? I go, yeah. And then she put it in a thing, but it wasn't really hot. I don't think I like cherry pies. I don't like apple pie. I don't like, I'm not a big cherry guy. Apple pie is the best. I like cherry pies. I don't like apple pie. I don't like – I'm not a big cherry guy.

Apple pie is the best. I like cherry flavor. I love cherry flavor. Yeah. But I need the fake flavor. So Michigan and Ohio were fighting, and then Congress stepped in and was like, all right, Michigan, let's cut it out, and we'll just give you – we'll give you the UP.

So Wisconsin didn't even get in on it wisconsin they didn't even let them they didn't give them a seat at the table dude yeah that's i mean where is ohio compared to uh michigan wisconsin i don't even know how wisconsin's not involved ohio shares a border with with michigan right here. So Toledo is right between Michigan and Ohio. Okay, pull it out again. So I know, but Ohio's down there. So why is Ohio trying to get way up there? They're not.

They're fighting over this. They just got – Michigan got the UP as a compromise. So it wasn't a fight over this. Oh. It was a fight over this it was a fight over something else if you leave Ohio alone we'll give you the UP so they were fighting down there

yeah the battle of Toledo they were fighting over Toledo? yeah imagine one day Toledo people used to fight over it I think I've been to the camp at Toledo I think I went to the uh i've uh they have a fort there so i might have seen that for it's a giant giant fort i don't know if it's

toledo i want to say it's toledo but there's a big big fort like i mean unbelievably like so big we didn't walk around it because it was just too big wow man and then uh but if they get the UP, I mean, man, you can't feel, I mean, Wisconsin's like, what? Like, I mean, they just gave them half of Wisconsin. We'll give you half of Wisconsin if you guys stop fighting. All right, that's enough. Take over Wisconsin. And Wisconsin's like, but we were playing it cool.

Enough, Wisconsin. But we were playing it cool. Enough, Wisconsin. So people in Michigan call it the Wolverine State. They're not sure why it's called that since there's no Wolverines in Michigan. One idea involves the land skirmish with Ohio. At the time, people in Ohio called Michigan neighbors Wolverines is an insult. I like that the Ohio State football, Michigan football rivalry,

I like that it's rooted in, I mean. There was an actual war. War, yeah. Like it's beyond just two schools. It's like, I mean, they do not like each other. Yeah, I was doing shows in Columbus, Ohio, like two years ago when Michigan finally won for the first time in two years, and it was sad at that show. I think you were there with me.

Yeah, I was. Yeah, it was sad at that show. Look at that Wolverine. He needs to get in on that animal fight. Yeah. Yeah, Wolverine is pretty scary. Couldn't take an emu, though, I get in on that animal fight. Yeah. Yeah, Wolverine is pretty scary. Couldn't take an emu, though, I'll tell you that. No.

Not with a gun. Over 40% of the state's covered in water, more than any other state. What? Over 40% of the state. Yeah, look at that line right there. All that water is part of Michigan. Oh, yeah. Well, you're just labeling water.

Somebody gets to claim it. You're saying that they get half of Lake Michigan here? Yeah. I would think Lake Michigan's all theirs. Wisconsin's like, what, we don't get a lake and we lose half of them yeah

that's they got half of it 40% of it being water is very loose like you're just you know you're like

alright you just have a lot of water there that would be you know it's like when the ocean's like the earth is 80% water and you're like

you know talk about the good parts, yeah. Yeah. That's a loose, I don't know if I. 40%. We almost took, me and Aaron almost took a ferry across Lake Michigan one time to go to Egg Harbor to do comedy in Wisconsin. And I just thought we could just drive up to the ferry and just get right on it.

This is how dumb we were. We were like, well, let's just pull up, hop on a ferry. But you had to, like, schedule it. Yeah, obviously it leaves at certain times. Like, it was so obvious once we figured it out. Yeah. We thought at any point there'll be a ferry there. We'll just hop over the lake.

Like a cab. Yeah, exactly. We'll wave it down from the outer banks. We want to go that way. Kind of what we were thinking, really. So we just drove all the way down and back up. Hiring for your business can feel harder than winning an argument with Nate. But now you can actually look forward to hiring. Real personalized.

Take a shot at it. But now you can actually look forward to hiring. Why? Because you should be using Indeed. It is the hiring platform where you can attract, interview, and hire all in one place. Stop spending hours on multiple job sites, combing through a bunch of nonsense.

Get it all in one spot with Indeed. Technically 41.5%. Oh, geez. Yeah, they did all the stuff. It's good for them. Detroit at one point was like top five cities in the world. I think it was fourth at one time. Fourth in the world.

What's it now, sixth? 27th, something like that. I remember going, the building's been fixed now, but I remember when I first went to Detroit and they had that building. You could see, were you there? Yeah, I was went to Detroit and they had that building. You could see. Were you there? Yeah, I was with you. Every window was broken out.

You could see through it. This giant, giant building. Was it a Ford factory? I think it is a Ford factory now or something. Ford bought it. Population of Detroit in 1950 was 1.8 million, and now it's 632,000. Wow. It's smaller than Nashville now. That's crazy.

It looked like this right here. Yeah. The Packard plant was. That is, like, what happened? Like, it's just the jobs all got taken out of there? I read a few articles. It's just a variety of things. The car companies, everybody came there for car companies,

and then now they're spread out all over the place. But it's just been every decade, it's just decreased, decreased, decreased for a variety of reasons. Yeah, it's a shame. It is a shame. Everybody roots for Detroit, I think. I always wanted to see the Lions win. I'm always hoping that the Lions are going to do something.

I'm always pulling for them. Yeah, you always think if a town needs something or deserves it, you kind of want them to have it. But, I mean, the Pistons won a lot. They won, I mean, not even that crazy long ago. And the Red Wings have been good. Yeah, that's true. So you know what?

You know what? Tigers have had some – they're terrible now, but they've had some good years. They've had some good years. So the sports are – It's just more of a Lions problem. Well, the Red Wings have won more Stanley Cups than any American NHL team. They got it too good.

Yeah, take them down a few pegs. Yikes, Detroit. The Lions have the longest NFL postseason win drought. Their last win was 1991. They're one of four teams that have never made the Super Bowl. Oh, wow. And they've been around forever. Yeah, who else has?

Hold on. I was going to say the Vikings. No, they've been in the Super Bowl. And they've been around forever. Yeah. Who else has? Hold on. I'd say the Vikings. No, they've been in the Super Bowl. Have they? The Vikings held the record for a while for most Super Bowl losses. Yeah. Oh, wow. That was like your Detroit guess.

Yeah. That's how wrong you were. What was my Detroit guess? Oh, Cap. Cap. Cap. That was a good guess. I would say that was a better guess than the Vikings.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Four on, hold on. Four teams have not, so the Lions have not made. The Jaguars, Texans. The Texans is one. The Jaguars. Texans.

The Jaguars, I think, did make it. Texans. Oh, man. Lions, Texans. It's going to be one of these, the Panthers. Did the Panthers make it? No, they were in the Super Bowl. Oh, yeah.

Lions, Texans, I don't know. Jaguars. Jaguars. And the Browns. The Browns. God, the Browns, they've been around forever, too. Yeah. I know.

Oh, man, that's terrible. In 1934, Detroit Lions owner George Richards came up with the idea to play football on Thanksgiving Day to draw more fans, and the tradition has continued ever since. When was that? 1934? Yeah. Turkey Bowl. Everybody has a Turkey Bowl. You ever have a Turkey Bowl?

A lot of you just go play football with your buddies, or they would have – Oh, just to pick a football game? Yeah. Yeah. I never called it Turkey Bowl, though. There's a lot of like you just go play football with your buddies or they would have, you know. Oh, just a pickup football game? Yeah. I've never called it a turkey ball, though. I like that. I could be making this up, too. But I'm pretty sure that's what we call it because we have a turkey ball.

I played it at Apple when I worked at Applebee's. Laura came and watched. Now there's three NFL games on Thanksgiving Day, but the Lions are always one of them. The Cowboys are always one. So the Lions had – And it's great. I think I like that it's all day.

Yeah. It's awesome. The Lions had Barry Sanders, one of the greatest runbacks of all time, retired at 31. Retired young. He was 1,400 yards from breaking the rushing record. Retired. Would have broken it.

Maybe the next season. Retired because the team was so bad. Calvin Johnson, one of the best receivers. Of all time. Hall of Famer. Retired at 31. Same reason. Yeah.

I mean, that's pretty bad when your team's so bad. The Matthew Stafford thing to play for them for so long and not really win anything, and then the next year join a different team and win the Super Bowl. Yeah. Pretty amazing. Why did Barry Sanders then retire very soon? I think they were just being abused, just being run. I don't think that's his official reason.

Oh, actually, you know what? Look at this. Yeah. Barry Sanders decided to retire from the NFL because he was exhausted and frustrated. The Detroit Lions front office did not seem willing to build a winning team. And he didn't want to get traded? That's a good question.

I don't know if you'd have been allowed to do as much moving around. Now I think you could just request it, and they're going to have to do it. But it would be, you know, you would think, why would you not just go? I mean, he probably was older. He's probably beat up. 31 is, you know, older. Not so young for a running back. Not for a running back.

And then Calvin Johnson was kind of the same, you know, 31. But, I mean, you have the – you play probably more than anybody plays in that position. That's how important you are. But, I mean, the season they retired, they had great years. It's not like they were showing they were going down. Yeah. But as a Lions fan, I mean, it's so frustrating. You're going to your best players in early because your team's so bad.

The Pistons won back-to-back nba championships in 89 and 90 and then again in 2004 right before it was in between this is my heyday there was magic and bird and then when they were kind of phased out but before jordan started winning it was the pistons they were the bad boys and yeah. And back-to-back championships, and then Jordan took over, and that was it. Well, he beat, yeah. I mean, he had to beat them. Yeah. Yeah.

They were kind of the villain of the – Dennis Rodman was on that team then. Right. Bill Lambert. Did he win a championship with them? So he won – I think so. Yeah.

Yeah. So Michigan football has won more games than any team in college football history. They're known for their dominance of Notre Dame. That's just what it says here. I don't make this stuff up, but they do have a winning record against Notre Dame. Do they all-time? Do you see what the record is there? I don't.

It was like 24-17 or something like that. Okay. It's enough that it's like, why are y'all still playing? I wouldn't say that's dominance though. Alright, I put that part in. Okay, okay. 24 wins, 16 wins for 17 if you count We recently had a bunch of wins

vacated. Oh, you're right. So it made it 17 instead of 16. No, no, no. I'm not saying it would change it, but it did change all-time winningest teams. It really affected that. Why did you get vacated? I can't remember.

We've self-reported to the NCAA some violations. We're Notre Dame, so they came down hard on us, obviously. They want to pick guys to fall. Never turn yourself in. Yeah. I know. Well, we learned the hard way. I guess you're not supposed to.

We did everything you're supposed to do. Self-reported, and they came down hard. Yeah, that's nice. Never turn yourself in. Michigan Stadium. I mean, unless they're looking for you. Yeah. Michigan Stadium is the largest stadium in the western hemisphere

the big house third largest stadium in the world what about the eastern hemisphere no one talks about it they don't North Korea had the second largest I looked it up the largest stadiums in the world what do they do over there

I don't know I've been to Michigan game it's pretty amazing I looked it up, the largest stadiums in the world. What do they do over there? I don't know. I've been to Michigan game. It's pretty amazing. Yeah. What's cool about their stadium is it's sunken into the ground, a lot of it. So you walk up and it doesn't look too overwhelmingly large.

But when you walk in and then it's... Yeah, if you're standing on the very top of it and you look over you could talk to someone that's on the ground because they like you're you're really not that high from oh wow but it goes way way down i think florida's like that like see the if you're on that top row and someone was like right there in that grass like you could just yell down that's a lot of fun you know growing up my brother-in-law is from michigan and uh so i used to wear a lot of michigan t-shirts to school as a kid i was hoping to find one of those pictures to bring on but i don't have it posted but um yeah so i was like i was like a little yeah well we're talking about michigan yeah so i want

you to know my affiliation to mich, that I have a real connection. Well, did the kids at school think you're weird? No, I think I seemed very cool. I seemed like they were like, ooh, this guy knows stuff about cities outside of the South. Oh, yeah. I think I would, yeah, you'd be like, what is that? Yeah. I had a Michigan basketball jersey I used to wear. Is this when the Fab Five stuff was going on?

I couldn't tell you anything about them, really. But I would wear the, I had a Michigan sweater. I had a Michigan T-shirt. Is this the early 90s? Mid-90s. Okay. Right after Fab Five. It would be –

So they were cool at the time. Yeah, it'd be pretty awesome to like – I mean, like Michigan, but what if you did the top row was just even with the street? If the stadium did that. Oh, that would be cool, how cool would that be? And then make it go down, but even make it a little bit steeper to go down, and it just looks like this. It looks like nothing.

You'd almost be like make the top be as – what's that word? Make the top a dome. Then you just walk across it. It'd be the dome. You could. You could have it be but make it what's the word that's like

unassuming. Incognito. Inconspicuous. It's conspicuous. Inconspicuous. Inconspicuous. It's conspicuous. Inconspicuous. Inconspicuous. Ben Franklin. Yeah.

But, yeah, you would make it, and then everybody would be like, oh, what's that? And then you just go down, and you're like, oh. It's the biggest in the Western Hemisphere. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You could do a basketball court like that, and then people would be nervous about playing there. They wouldn't be.

You know, you would go in going like, we can – look at this tiny gym. The pit. Yeah. The pit. I don't want to go into the pit. That's a tough place to play. You don't want to come to the pit. Tough place to play.

Call it the tornado shelter. Yeah. Also that. Town's tornado shelter. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. You could be the tornadoes, your you know yeah your team was yeah

texas texas tornadoes yeah that's a band yeah is it yeah that's wichita kansas their their uh minor league team is wind surge oh which is pretty morbid considering the amount of death and destruction that tornadoes cause their state every team is called the wind surge yeah isn't that wild yeah that's a tough name yeah because it's like a real tornado yeah well i think tornadoes would be better than wind surge not either or like both of them are bad things yeah but i mean that's but i mean that doesn't sound the wind surges is not it'd be like naming your team the Coronaviruses. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Yeah. It'd be better to be COVID. Yeah. Yeah. That would be a better team name, though. Yeah, yeah. But the Carolina Hurricanes.

Yeah, the Hurricanes is a good name. You don't want to, you know, put in the Carolina Hurricanes. Yeah, the Hurricanes is a good name. You don't want to put in the Carolina Strong Winds. Swirling Seas. Straight Line Winds. Swirling Seas could be good, though. Yeah. Swirling Seas. The Swirling Seas.

That would be the name of where the Hurricanes should play. And your mascot could be the letter C, and he just spins around a lot. The Swirling Cs. What's the thing that goes? Cyclone. No, but it goes down in the water. The drain. Whirlpool.

Whirlpool. Like a whirlpool. So you're- Yeah. But I like- Doing charades on there. Here's what you do. You do a swirling C, and you have everybody wears a blue, like a, you wear, like, different color blues.

And then it's like when you, they just move like that and just see it. And then it goes, and your stadium needs to be in a circle. And then, like, the wave takes on a whole new, yeah. Oh, it's the real wave. It's a real wave. Yeah. Yeah. Did you go to a game there?

The Bermuda Triangle. Welcome to the Bermuda Triangle where we take down everything. Yeah. We've taken down lions and bears and jets. E-moods. Boats. Yeah, everything. Boats.

Boats. Yeah. All of it. Weary travelers. Weary travelers. Anything. Some people get through, but not many. You're lucky if you do.

They live to tell about it. Yeah. Go ahead to y'all's boring conversation. Sorry, I interrupted over there. to y'all's boring conversation. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt it over there. Y'all had a private conversation. You ever been in a game over? Don't answer it, Aaron. Can I move on?

Yeah, I guess so. It didn't feel like a private conversation. So, Aaron, you ever been to Game Over, Michigan? Yeah, one time we went, and my aunt and uncle, I went and saw them, and we went and had to leave after the first half but I had a really good time

beat the traffic beat the traffic I watched them play Iowa Michigan play Iowa I was gonna set them up for a joke oh cause it's in Wichita

where old Chicago is oh oh let's go to old Chicago callback that's right yeah that's good nevermind I don't think you would've got it yeah you guys Oh. Oh. It's going to be an old Chicago callback. That's right. Yeah. No.

That's good. Never mind. I don't think you would have got it. Yeah, you guys don't get callbacks. No, I'm saying Aaron would have. I think you would have picked up what he was laying down. I think so. How were you going to say it?

He would have taken me there. I was going to say, you ever been to a game there? Yeah. You ever been to old Chicago? That's fine. Oh. I would have got that. Oh.

He did it real on the nose. Yeah, but wait. You're doing the joke. game there yeah you ever been to old chicago that's fine oh i would have got that oh he did a reel on the nose yeah but wait you're but you're doing the joke you're not setting up him you just said you were setting him up for the joke but the joke is you're making fun of him he is the the joke is on him yeah yeah you're not teeing me up that's what i yeah you said it like you're you're teeing him up for a joke well i, I'm teeing him up for a joke. He's teeing himself up. You're teeing yourself up to make fun of Aaron. Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. All right. Was it not said the other way? Yeah, yeah. It was said like. You thought you were throwing it to me and I was going to spike it. I know.

That's what I was making a joke of because I was saying like, oh, would he have got it? Like the callback. But you were just going to point and laugh at him. It's a smart joke for smart people. I'm going to go to dumb it down. It worked in the 80s and it still works now. Bonehead mass audience. Our next partner is Athletic Greens.

I think we all enjoy taking our AG1. I got a little out of control this weekend. I ate terribly all weekend. I'm like, I got to reset. So yesterday morning, Monday morning started, AG1, Athletic Greens. It's just a good way to start your day. You get all the vitamins and nutrients you need. It makes us feel better. It's like we're doing something good to cover all our nutritional bases. It's much easier to mix than, it's just one scoop of powder and water once a day. And it's the healthiest thing you can do.

They would fist pound. Eventually, they go, no, no, no. People are dying. They go, oh. We should change that name. We should change it. We've got to spell it differently. We've got to spell that differently.

I've been to Battle Creek quite a few times. Really? Yeah. For what reason? Corporate stuff. I think so. Yeah, Battle Creek was, I've been there in Grand Rapids. I always say Michigan's somewhere I've been shockingly a lot of times.

My buddy John that we lived with, with Michael when we moved to Chicago, he's from Michigan, so we would go to Michigan all the time. I almost see them all in Kalamazoo. I have a lot of Michigan ties of just like friends my buddy I went to high school with, they live in Grand, I think he got married in Grand Rapids. They live up in Grand Rapids. So a lot of, I just had a lot of Michigan connections. And so I've been to Michigan a bunch. A lot of the Yoders were all out of Michigan. So the Yoders were great. They would book all these one-nighters and stuff like that. So they were the first people that I ever got to go on the road with. And it was, they'd book you on these runs. The Ynighters and stuff like that. So they were the first people that I ever got to go on the road with.

And they'd book you on these runs. The Yoders really hooked me up. Yeah. Those were all those shows I was doing with Dusty. Those were all fun business gigs. Yeah. Yeah, Yoders were – yeah, people don't know what we're talking about. They just had a bunch of venues that would do a lot of one-nighters. Yeah.

And stuff like that. They got Dr. Grin's too in Grand Rapids. Dr. Grin's at the Bob. That's a great club. That's in Grand Rapids. The BLB. Yeah, a lot of great places, the Bob. They put a net there because people fell off.

There's a net in the middle because it's three floors. Yeah. And people were drunk and they've fallen off. Oh, they're doing it on purpose. I don't think so, no. The Gerald Ford Library is in Grand Rapids too. Oh, yeah. Pretty sad one.

Got that Ford right out of there. Yeah. Isn't that what Kramer got rid of? He goes, you know that picture i had with gerald ford he goes took it to the thing got that ford right out of there i don't remember that what i think it's the uh where george wants the photo thing photoshopped yeah taking him out of the photo and he says you remember that photo i had with uh gerald ford i think it's gerald ford kramer says that yeah but he got right there got that ford taken right out of there like you were taking I had with Gerald Ford. I think it's Gerald Ford. Kramer says that.

Yeah. Took that right there, got that Ford taken right out of there, like you would take a present. Well, are we going to move on from cereal? I mean, I thought we might want to talk about Kellogg's. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, feel free. Post.

Yeah, let's get into it. Yeah, Raisin Bran's great cereal, man. No, I do want to talk about it. Post and Frosted Flakes are one of a kind. They never made something like that before, and they all started in Michigan. Is that where they invented cereal? Yes.

Frosted Flakes are delicious. It's where Kellogg is. The Kellogg Brothers, and Post, according to that. Yeah. Kellogg Brothers invented cereal. They were trying to make granola, and they made flakes instead, cornfl wow and they said and then they put it in pour some milk over it yeah why it's really not putting milk in it or would people eat granola with milk i don't know i do granola with yogurt starting to have a slight problem with it yeah and i remember i was here

when you seemed to discover granola with you oh yeah i never i didn't i've never had it and it's and it's become it opened a whole new door yeah it's good it's a big problem it's my new ice cream problem yeah it's a little better but not yeah you can say i'm working on my gut bio yeah yeah yeah and but i've thought recently oh i bet you could put you just put cereal also in the yogurt, which I bet would be pretty good too because it'd be crunchy. Have you tried it? No.

I got such a good thing going with the granola. I like it so much. I sometimes don't. When I like something, I don't like sometimes mixing two things. I'm not the most fun. I can become fun in some little things, like dessert. Like, if I'm going to eat dessert, I don't want just, like, crazy dessert. Like, I want my, you know, we had after the Bridgestone,

we had an ice cream bar set up. Obviously, Laura, you know, knew I wanted that. By the way, I did not. I had one little tiny cup of ice cream. I didn't even get to eat. You know, I ate after Bridgestone because I didn't eat because I had to do all these meet and greets. And then we met all these people, wonderful people.

Met, yeah. Well, wonderful. We met some parents from the Covenant School here in Nashville. It's very, very sweet. And I met the two cops. Oh, really? This is completely different. They were there at the show?

Yeah. Yeah. The two cops that went in. I mean, there was five cops that went in, but the two, the shooters, they came in. And I met them afterwards. And so that was very, very nice. We invited them to the show. They were awesome and obviously heroes, you know.

And so. Charge them full price. Yeah, of course. You can come. Well, they're basically famous. Yeah. They can afford it. You guys are doing good.

I go, you cops get paid too much. I go, who am I asking? I go, I ain't giving you. You already get my taxes. I ain't giving you free tickets. You know what I... I go, who am I? I say, I go, I ain't giving you... You already get my taxes. I ain't giving you free tickets. You know what I mean? No. They were super cool.

But then, so like, I was like all... You know, so you're just like... And then I go, the meet and greet, and it's just all my... You just didn't get to eat. Like a wedding. And then, so I came home, ate bagel bites and yogurt and granola. All right. I love some bagel bites.

It's like a wedding. You know, where you never get to, like, eat. Like, you were walking around. You had to make your rounds. Yeah, you couldn't even enjoy. No. There was a heck of a spread there at that after party, dude. Yeah.

What was that little thing you were making with ice cream? Oh, it was the ice cream, and I put some – It's a sundae bar. Some Oreo cookies in there. Oh, Oreo cookies. Yeah. Oh, that would be fun. Not granola, but it was very good, yeah.

Yeah. See, like, so even that dessert, like, I got just a vanilla. Well, I go to the chocolate. He goes, chocolate's pretty – it's been melted. Yeah, it was all pretty melted by the time I got there. And then he goes, do vanilla. I mean, I got it at like 1230. And so I got just a cup of vanilla with some chocolate syrup on it.

Like even with all this stuff on it, I'm not a big like, yeah, yeah, that's a dessert. Like let's try a bunch of stuff on it. Like if I'm going to eat dessert, I just want it to be exactly – I want it to be perfect. Yeah. For some reason, like I could – maybe if I don't care about something, I could try something. But if I'm going to eat, I can get so focused on like, if I know I'm going to eat,

like if I'm thinking like, all right, I'm going to go home tonight and I'm going to eat ice cream and I'm going to eat a big thing of it. I know what I'm going to go do. I don't want anything to ruin that. So like, I don't want any dessert or something before, I don't want anything to ruin that. So, like, I don't want any dessert or something before. I don't want to get filled up before. Like, I already blocked the time off in my head. I already, like, want to do it at night. I want to do it, and I need it to be done exactly how I want it to be done. I don't want to just be like, oh, yeah, I'll have dessert whenever.

I'm like, no, no, no, I got to do that at night. I need to stop that because then I wouldn't probably eat as much. But all right. The cross in the woods is a Catholic. But no one saw any of that coming. Yeah. I've had a million years no one could think in the Michigan episode I could bring up the two cops of the covenant.

I mean, not even at the beginning. Yeah. Deep into the Michigan. We're talking about cereal. And then it turns into ice cream and then it turns into ice cream into the two cops i didn't get any ice cream i had to go meet with these cops and families of the victims i did i was one of the i wanted to say we met with them or last time just to because it was obviously uh to meet him. And our buddy Brett, too, another kid we met.

But, yeah, I wanted to shout, and then it all just led to it. So I'm sorry. I didn't mean to fly it off the handle there. I'm along for the ride. Yeah. You know what I mean? I love cereal. I love ice cream.

You know, heroes. Yeah. All of those. I was wondering how you're gonna spend that yeah the cross in the woods is a catholic shrine are we doing no more cereal talk though well i mean we just moved to school shooters so i thought maybe we should just move on yeah i thought we could go back to all right let's right, let's go back to cereal. Post makes Sugar Smacks. Big fan of that cereal. Oh, yeah. I feel like Kellogg's dominates Post, but what's Post's big cereal?

I feel like the Smacks is a little... Sugar Smacks? Smacks. Sugar Smacks is not that big of a cereal. Is it not? It's a good cereal, and it's a famous cereal, but it's not Michael Jordan. You know, Frosted Frakes is like Michael Jordan. What about Corn Pops?

Post is honey bunches of oats. That's a big one. That's a big one. Golden Crisps. Honeycomb. Honeycomb. Oh, yeah. Sugar Smacks may be cataloged. Raisin Bran.

Raisin Bran. And all the Pebbles iterations. Yeah, Fruity Pebbles. So I don't know if that includes Cocoa Pebbles. Brand Flakes. What do you think competes with Frosted Flakes? I would say Raisin Bran. Raisin Bran, yeah. What do you think competes with Frosted Flakes? Like as far as, like I would say Raisin Bran.

Raisin Bran, yeah. Could go. Raisin Bran's a big one. Fruity Pebbles I would say is the closest, but I don't think it's, it's not Frosted Flakes. I mean, Frosted Flakes, if someone had a gun to your head for some reason and said name a cereal, like you might, you're going to say Frosted, like that, I think. Or Cheerios.

Cheerios. Yeah, Cheerios or Frosted Flakes. Is Kellogg's Cheerios or is Cheerios their own brand? I don't know. Are they like Dr. Pepper? It's own brand. I think Dr. Pepper's out of Michigan. It's out of Texas.

You're wrong on that. Dusty. Why did you think that? When I was in Michigan, maybe maybe mr pibb is there out of all the things you said that's the dumbest one you've ever said and i mean there's been some things yeah no i'm joking well that would be great to me that's the one where everybody goes well that's enough that is enough that's enough yeah go back to the why didn't you try to find out where mr pibb was invented now yeah because i feel like i drove in michigan i drove by a building that i thought well i had dr pepper

do you ever think about mr pig having a color what do you mean it said the color caramel yeah you ever think of the drink having a color yeah because they're all clear i think it's brown i never think of it being like, I would never describe a color. Like, if someone goes, I guess it's such a weird idea to go off a diet coke. What color is it? You'd be like, it's dark. Just some kind of dark liquid. Dark brown.

It's kind of brownish black. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think, yeah. What about a Sprite? What color is a Sprite? White. White.

What about a Sprite? What color is a Sprite? White. So why do you guys know offhand so hard where Dr. Pepper's from? Well, we do a podcast, and if you've ever been part of it, you would know that we talked about it. Were you not on the episode? You did the Texas episode with us.

Yeah. You were on the Texas episode? I don't think so. Huh? I don't think so. Huh? I don't think so. Yeah. Yeah, we talked about Dr. Herb being from It's Its Own Company.

Yeah. Do you remember that? Well, I do know that. I don't even think we talked about the Texas episode. That might have been the Greg Warren episode

where Dusty was not here. Yeah. If so, my apologies. I should have listened to it. Yeah. Now, Kellogg's, man, this list of – Kellogg's has the heavy hitters. Bare Naked Granola is big.

That's big. Honey Smacks. They have Honey Smacks. Apple Jacks, dude. Corn Flakes. We're talking Corn Pops. Raisin Bran. Special K.

Frosted Flakes. You got a load. Actually, I like Crispix. Oh, Frosted Mini-Wheats. Fruit Loops. Fruit Loops, Frosted Mini-Wheats. Fruit Loops. Fruit Loops, Frosted Mini-Wheats. Kashi's that healthy kind. Rice Krispies.

Yeah. They're dominating. One time when I was a kid, I ate Corn Pops, and I threw up the Corn Pops, and it made like a little Corn Pop pie, and I've never had it since. What is Cheerios? Is there their own thing? That was unnecessary. Was it?

No, I'm joking. You just made Lauren sick, but that's okay. That's General Mills. Oh, let's see what that is. General Mills might be. They might actually be the leader here. They've got Cheerios. Well, Cheerios is like, that's like the Coca-Cola of Cheerio.

Yeah. Of Cheerio. And then Honey Nut Cheerios. Honey Nut Cheerios, multigrain. So all these types of Cheerios. Well. Cheerios. And then Honey Nut Cheerios. Honey Nut Cheerios. Huge. Multi-grain. So all these types of Cheerios. Well, they're just, yeah. Chex. Chex. Chex is a big one.

Lucky Charms. I mean, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, too. Yeah. I feel like you're getting loud with the food. I'm getting excited. Fire it up. The more I scroll down, the more. I was like, Aaron's getting into it.

Oh, dude. General Mills takes this. I mean, I don't even think it's close. I think I'm on board. Reese's Puffs, Cookie Crisps, Golden Grahams, Trix. Oh. Kix. I don't know.

I'm still with... Wheaties. Wheaties is terrible, but Wheaties... Wheaties is not good, but it's iconic. It's iconic, but I don't even, they tricked you into it because Raisin Nut brand, that's awesome. I'm still with.

No, General Mills is not. Yeah, it's the best. With the Frosted Flakes brand. I'm still with. Kellogg's? No. With Kellogg's, dude? That's crazy.

I'm still with Kellogg's. That's crazy. Kellogg's or Kellogg's? You need your Muselix cereal there? Yeah. Yeah, that looks terrible. That's crazy, dude. It's the other one is everything.

The other one's the most fun. It's versatile. But this is a Michigan episode, though. We got to kind of... Well, where was Cheerios from? Cheerios is from General Mills. I know where General Mills is at. Let's look that up.

But if you say you're saying name a cereal, Cheerios, you think would be the first thing people would say? No, Cheerios are Frosted Flakes. I would say Corn Flakes. I think your age would say corn flakes too maybe right about there for minnesota general mills yeah yeah uh i you're i think you're borderline i'm frosted

flakes is probably about to get aged out because you don't hear i don't hear about it like you used to frosted flakes what you heard about this you just heard about frosted flakes all the time i don't think i hear about them that much anymore tony the tiger's getting old it you just don't think you've heard about this. You just heard about Frosted Flakes all the time. I don't think I hear about them that much anymore. Tony the Tiger's getting old. You just don't hear about it like you do at Cheerios. Cheerios is the, you hear about Cheerios all the time. It's just, it's out on the street. People are talking?

You said Corn Flakes. I mean, that's like. Corn Flakes is crazy. I mean, Corn Flakes is like. That's cereal. People don't even know what that is. That's how they would describe Frosted Flakes. They go out and they're like corn chips.

But good. Corn Flakes, but good. Corn Flakes are the- That is the- Corn Flakes is where it's at. No, your age group decides if – what time? I was going to say, you can ask it Harper up here. Oh, Kellogg's has got it by a percentage.

Now, these are the 2014 market share breakdown, so who knows how things have changed in the last nine years, but Kellogg's had a slight lead over General Mills, 32% versus 31%. If they don't have it up, I'm gonna just ask her to name well that's unfair that's home cooking she doesn't even like cereal so it might not be good

okay but you're right this will be the test because it's about the next generation how they're you know yeah and I think it's gonna be Cheerios

I don't think it's are you just gonna ask her well so Laura loves cereal. So she eats it a lot. And so we have a lot of it. Harper doesn't. But I'm just trying to get a gauge. So it's not – but it might be a good gauge because it's someone that doesn't think about it that much.

But she's probably just going to say what we have. I bet she'll say Cheerios because that's what – I think we have a lot of Cheerios. Okay. You need an unbiased consumer. Go get Felix. Yeah. But Felix is older, so we're not – we have our age group. We're going to say – you said Corn Flakes, which is –

You remember a cereal called King Vitamin? Anybody remember that? No. No. You trot my cornflakes. Yeah. That's crazy talk right there. King Vitamin. That's crazy talk.

Where's Captain Crunch? I didn't see that. Oh, Captain Crunch, mate. King Vitamin. Oh, I do remember that. I do not. That has a regular person on the front. It's just a picture of a guy.

Yeah, I tell you, I think that's hard to have a regular person. Let me just ask you this question, all right? I'm going to just say cereal. So what cereal comes to mind when you say cereal? When I say cereal? I don't know. What would you say? What's a cereal?

Name a cereal. Lucky Charms. Okay. Lucky Charms. There we go. We were trying to see. You wouldn't say Cheerios? What would you say? What's a cereal? Name a cereal. Lucky Charms. Okay. Oh, man. Lucky Charms. There we go. We were trying to see. You wouldn't say Cheerios? What would you say?

Lucky Charms. If I said cereal, when you think of cereal, you think of? That's what I eat. Yeah. Yeah. Because you eat candy for breakfast. So Lucky Charms is General Mills? How do you feel about cereal?

Do you like cereal? Or is it Kellogg's? I think it's Kellogg's. She does not. She does not. She does not. All right. I think it's that. She said like, so yeah, I mean, she's going off of,

Laura's got a cereal problem. General Mills. Michigan wins. Mm-hmm. Where was Captain Crunch? General Mills is from Minnesota. Where was Captain Crunch? I don't know.

Yeah. They might be their own thing Crunch? I don't know. Yeah. They might be their own thing. They might be the Dr. Pepper. They're from Quaker Oats Company. That's the dark horse. Look at Quaker Oats. What does Quaker Oats have? I mean, they could be.

Look all that up. They got oatmeal. They got Quaker Oats. I mean, I think General Mills is, they're just doing. It's going to be tough to top that. They're doing so good. And, yeah. They got life. I mean, Kell think General Mills is, they're just doing. It's going to be tough to top that. They're doing so good. And yeah. They got life.

I mean, Kellogg's had more. Look, I'm a big fan of life. Yeah, me too. I don't. No, I don't like life. They got a lot of granola. What about this Quisp? Yeah, they're done.

Crunchy. I mean, that is a weak looking cereal. I don't like that. I don't think you can have a regular person on a cereal. That's why King Vitamin struggled so much. King Vitamin, it was a tough one because you can't have a guy on it. Like just a random guy. Oh, just Wheaties might be the only one.

It's an athlete. So it's kind of like a superhero type. Like that was a dude. That was like a regular dude that was on. I had a Wheaties box from the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta with all the gymnastics girls on there. Oh, yeah. You probably got a crush on them.

I did. That was their age. I can't find just a list of this. It would be weird if I had a crush on them now, but at the time, we were the same age. We're still the same age now. Right, but they're not really gymnasts now, I would imagine. Oh, you think they're all fat now? Well, they're still the same age now. Right, but they're not really gymnasts now, I would imagine. Oh,

you think they're all fat now? Well, they're probably... Kerry's correct. They're probably out of the game. Sean Johnson? I think it was Dominique Mucciano was the... Oh,

older than... Yeah, Sean Johnson. Like Natasha. Mr. T. Mr. T. Yeah, so Quaker had Cap'n Crunch,

Life Cereal, Quisp, Mr. T. Cereal so Quaker had Cap'n Crunch, Life Cereal, Quisp, Mr. T Cereal. They had your King Vitamin. And they were a King Vitamin. How about that? Yeah. It discontinued in 2019. Isn't that crazy to think?

It made it. I'll never have that ever again. It was made in 1968, though. It made it a long time. I mean, that's a good run, dude. That is a solid run. That would be the longest run in a TV show of all time. It could come back. Probably outlasted the king himself.

Captain Crunch is a solid... That's probably... That carries everything for them. I mean, it's enough to keep them competitive, but I don't think it puts them over the top over General Mills. No, not even close. But it's like... but i'm saying that

that's a that's a big brand to have like we have captain crunch i think if you work for quaker i don't know if you even think of captain crunch i think you'd be like well we have all the quaker you're like i know quaker and you go you know we have captain crunch and you go oh wow that is crazy but yeah general mills is like they're not even going to answer the phone for quaker i mean they're you know it's like what are we doing like they have cinnamon toast crunch is awesome uh i've never had french toast crunch and i would like to try that i like cereal too uh how about cinnamon toast crunch churros i thought you said you weren't a big cereal guy no no harper's not laura's a big cereal guy. I like cereal.

She is a big cereal guy. But I like cereal. Golden Grahams. Golden Grahams. I mean, Golden Grahams is like the not good. Fiber One. Not good cinnamon toast, but it's like they're still good and solid, and you've heard of them. What about Apple Cinnamon

Cheerios? Do you remember those? Cheerios is great. Cheerios are... Those are a good one. I think Cheerios is what you're saying. I think that's what you're saying. Apple Jacks, you remember that cereal? Yeah. Is that not around anymore? It doesn't taste like apples.

Well, we eat what we like. Remember those commercials? I remember Apple Jacks. What do you eat if it doesn't taste like apples. Well, we eat what we like. Remember those commercials? I remember Apple Jacks. Yeah. Why do you eat it if it doesn't taste like apples? We eat what we like. You know the live cereal commercial with Mikey? I remember it a little bit.

It was a classic commercial from the 70s. Never seen it. You ever heard of it? No. Treks are not for kids. I remember. I know that. Treks are for kids. Lucky Charms.

Treks are for kids. What was the Mikey one? Give it to Mikey He won't eat it Yeah He likes it Mikey likes it Mikey likes it Wasn't it Mikey likes it?

I thought it was He likes it Maybe it is he likes it It's one of the Classic commercials Yeah Alright So there's a giant cross

In the woods Some Catholics Made it Who cares right? Let's move on What was it? It's the second largest Crucifix in the world Wow That's's the second largest crucifix in the world.

Wow. That's pretty cool. The largest crucifix in the world was in Bardstown, Kentucky. That's just kind of weird. You'd think it'd be somewhere like Brazil. Yeah, Rome. Rome. I guess I missed that when we did the Kentucky episode.

There's one president from Michigan. You've already named him. Gerald R. Ford. Gerald Ford. Thomas Jefferson. Threw in the middle name. Yeah. Was not born in Michigan, but grew up there.

But was a football star at the University of Michigan. Yep. So beloved. Where was he born? Anybody want to guess? Pennsylvania. Wisconsin. Lebanon.

Tennessee. Omaha, Nebraska. Wow. Wow. A couple of guys came close, though. Omaha, Nebraska. Wow. Wow. A couple of guys came close, though. To being born there? Yeah, I know. Thomas Dewey was born in Michigan.

He's the one that the famous Chicago Daily Tribune, Dewey defeats Truman. Right. Because they had to print it early. Everybody remembers that. That was a big... I'm not saying... You've never seen that? early. Everybody remembers that. That was a big... You've never seen that? No. Pull that up.

It's a famous picture because the paper erroneously reported... The wrong presidential winner. So there's Truman holding up the... What did you say? Erroneously? Erroneously. What is that? Wrong? Yeah. Erroneous? Erroneously. What is that? Wrong? Yeah. Okay.

Erroneous. Yeah. So there's Truman holding up the sign that says Dewey defeats Truman when that did not happen. That's a famous picture. You never seen that? No. And then where would – Why did they They thought he was going to win

Or they thought he won And then what Truman just came in And won at the end or something He just It was a bit of an upset I guess Yeah They uncounted all the ballots

Hanging Chad Mitt Romney was born in Michigan Oh wow His dad was the governor Yep Wow Mitt Romney was born in Michigan. Oh, wow. His dad was the governor. Yep. Wow. I feel like you know everything about... Yeah, the guy...

Were you born in Michigan? Who's a celebrity from Michigan you think of? Bob Seger. Hold on. Madonna? That's a good one. Madonna? Yep.

That's a crazy one. Kid Rock, Madonna, Derek Jeter. You know what? It would have been Eminem, but Eminem, I don't know. I would have thought Detroit, but then I don't know. You don't always think. I don't think Detroit, Michigan. Detroit feels like it's its own thing.

It's its own thing, yeah. In my head for someone, you know. Bob Seger's the greatest Michigan. I would have probably. You know what? I might have said Tom Brady. Where's he from? California, I believe, I'm... Bob Seger's the greatest Michigan actor. I would have probably... You know what? I might have said Tom Brady. Where's he from? California, I believe, right?

See? It's not wrong. But he played football in Michigan. Yeah. I didn't Madonna. I didn't even think Madonna was from somewhere. Yeah. I thought she was European

before I found out she was from Michigan. They just made her. I'd be like... She's got an accent sometimes. You're like, where are you from? Oh, wow. Yeah, I didn't think... Yeah, you don't even think about her growing up.

Man, there was like two or three years where she had a British accent. Yeah. Where's Tom Cruise from? California, I would think. I think so. We'll never know. Eminem, I mean, he is Michigan. He wasn't born in Michigan, but...

Born in Missouri, right? Yeah. Really? Uh-huh. And how long did he live in Missouri? Not long, I guess. I think he was at least until he was a teenager before he moved. Oh, he's like Southern?

If you count Missouri, I think that's Midwest. I should have known this. I was just there in Syracuse, New York. That's where Tom Cruise is from. Syracuse, New York. And I remember looking up who was from here, and that's a big one. That is a big one. Where's Tom Hanks from?

California. A factory. Australia. Oakland, California. I believe he was- They made him in a factory. Oakland A's. Hanks is from-

Yeah, he's from Concord, California. Wow. Was he like an usher for the A's when he was a kid? Tom Hanks? I've never heard that That's pretty cool I believe he worked for the A's He was in Apollo 13 Maybe is that what you're thinking about?

Maybe A league of their own You seen Apollo 13 by the way? Yeah I think so a long time ago What am I watching now? Brian and I watched it together. I went and watched, man, what was I watching? A Few Good Men.

I watched A Few Good Men. You watched the whole thing? Yeah. I talked about that on this, right? We talked about it on the bus. Oh, I did A Few Good Men, and it was great. I did it in two nights, and I broke it up with the new screen. I went and watched the new screen in between. A little palate cleanser. Just how you should watch. I did A in two nights, and I broke it up with the new screen. I went and watched the new screen in between.

So a palate cleanser. Just how you should watch. I did a half-fugue in the middle. You did a palate cleanser in the middle. Then I did new screen. Then I went back and finished the other fugue. Fugue in the middle is great. It was really good.

Now I'm trying to think of an old – I kind of want to go to these old movies. You should do – what's the one that I was talking to you about for so long, Brian, with Richard Gere? Officer and a Gentleman. Officer and a Gentleman. That's one of my favorites all time. Yeah. See, I think that's what I might go.

Jesse Spano. No, she's not rugged. I'm making that up. Oh. I just said it. I'm so excited. Yeah. I'm so excited.

Doesn't it make sense, though, that she's from Michigan? I can see that. It does. You'm so excited. Doesn't it make sense, though, that she's from Michigan? I can see that. It does. You can see it. Michigan's got like, I met with Burt Reynolds. Like, Michigan's got like kind of a strong, like, personality. Like, you know, she kind of came in to Saved by the Bell, and you're like, she doesn't really fit in with everybody.

She's kind of her own thing. And you're like, yeah, that's Michigan. Saved by the Bell was like, she didn't fit in. I would say that about Screech. But Screech like... Screech was Saved by the Bell from the beginning. He was from the beginning. She came in late.

Oh, she did? Yeah. Yeah, the first couple of seasons was just Zach, Screech. Kelly. Kelly. I don't even know if Slater... And there was another girl, right? I don't think Slater was in the early ones.

I think Slater was. I don't think Kelly was. I think it was Zach, Screech, maybe Lisa. Yeah. And then there was another girl and another guy. Yeah, it was kind of like a girl in a leather jacket, that type of girl. I don't know if that's true. Yeah, I think so.

The beginning, there was nobody even in the cast. You're like, they had one guy in it. Screech. It was basically Zack and Screech. I mean, and the...

Oh, man. Yeah. Oh, man. You can't find any evidence of this. Season one. Say, by the way, the original...

Yeah, say that was season one cast. I think it was... All find any evidence of this. Look at season one. Save the original. Yeah, save that as season one cast. I think it was. All right, there we go. Oh, jeez. That's the new one. Oh, dude. I'm bombing here.

Yeah, look at Wikipedia. I mean, is it not on Wikipedia or something? Yeah, what is that? The new class. What is that? Yeah, there's a new one. They did a spinoff of it? Yeah. Mr. Belding? I've met Mr. They did a spinoff of it? Yeah.

Mr. Building? I've met Mr. Building. Did you show them? Yeah. I think he does comedy. Is he a comedy or something? I don't know. I think I've met Mr. Building.

Maybe it was Slater, but not Kelly or Jesse. No, I think it was all of them. I think it was... She was added later. She was the... Okay. And she's from Michigan.

Do Wikipedia and say... I'll find out. Yeah. All right, go ahead. Floyd Mayweather Jr., Jack White, Stevie Wonder, Serena Williams,

Magic Johnson. Michigan State. Flint, Michigan Had some water problems I think we all know about that Yeah They just I mean it's still kind of going on

I think a judge just approved A 600 million dollar settlement For the victims Seems low There's still some Yeah That seems very low They've been poisoning us for years

Yeah Seems low Our regular water 626 million. There's still a few homes that the pipes still haven't been replaced. And it's not even fixed. Nine years. We'll give you $600 million.

All right, well, is it still good water? You're like, no. Yeah, yeah. They keep pushing back the deadline to get everything fixed. It's now August of 2023. They should just, who's in charge of this? The Michigan government? I think a few people.

Some of it, I think, has to do with the homeowners being suspicious and doesn't want people on their land. I get that. That's what I read. Now you're on board with. Well, I'm on board with the homeowners being suspicious. Yeah. Oh, the government.

Yeah, coming around, digging around. Yeah, what are you digging about? Yeah. What are you digging over there? Yeah. Some movies set in Michigan, 8 Mile. Mm. Oh, yeah around, digging around. Yeah, what are you digging about? Yeah. What are you digging over there? Yeah. Some movie set in Michigan, 8 Mile. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah.

Simi Pro. Oh, yeah. I just watched that the other day. That's great. Is that in Flint also? Yeah, it's in Flint. Tropics. Flint Tropics.

Oh, yeah, that's the girl. So I'm talking about right there. But okay, so I do remember this girl. And she was only on the show for a little bit. Like one season. Yeah, yeah. But I don't know if she was the first. I don't know.

I'm going to look that up, though. I remember because you would see – I didn't start season one, but I would see reruns, and I'd be like, who are these people? Yeah. I think you were looking at – Maybe she was on the college years. No, no. She was in high school.

I remember this girl, but it was... I don't think this is the girl I'm thinking about either. Yeah, I think, yeah. This is an interesting story. In 1979, Saddam Hussein, Iraqi's president, donated a half million dollars to the Sacred Heart Chaldean Church in Detroit. Chaldean, I guess, is a sect of Iraqis, and they had come to the U.S. and worked in Detroit for the car companies. And this huge Chaldean, like we have the most Kurds in Nashville, Detroit has the most Chaldeans.

So Saddam Hussein donated a half million dollars to help this church out. He was given a key to the city of Detroit from the mayor of Detroit. They all loved him. And the church's pastor said he was very generous, a warm man. He just let too much power go to his head. So they've obviously backed off of that much later. When was that? 1979.

So he was like, okay then. Yeah. Yeah, they say he was very pro-america then and then about 11 12 years later is when you know he's got dark we first went to war with him that's when i was born he didn't like that yeah 79 you're already a working man 79 yeah can you believe do you what'd you think when you read in the paper that man. 79? Yeah. Can you believe? What did you think when you read in the paper that Sam Allen was over there?

79. I was second grade, maybe. First or second grade. Yeah. All right. That's probably a good place to wrap. Yeah. You think?

Is there any other little last fun things the world's largest wind vane is in weather vane is in Michigan wind vane that was about to be what's a weather vane

yeah I don't know what either of those are it's that thing that thing that you know shows the direction one of these guys yeah it's always got

something like that oh yeah kind of blows with the wind kind of a I think a wrong name for that vane can you see if you can find a picture of this one it's got something like that. Oh, yeah. Kind of blows with the wind. Kind of, I think, a wrong name for that. Can you see if you can find a picture of this one? It's in my...

Yeah. It's the thing that goes north, south, east, west, shows you which way the wind's blowing. Maybe Michigan. Yeah, that seems like a weird... That name, you know. That's the one. Well, maybe not as impressive as I thought.

It's the largest one. Oh, you see a person there, yeah. Yeah, it's me. Oh, The world's largest one. It's, Oh, you see a person there. Yeah. Yeah, it's me. Okay. It's big. It's not.

It's as tall as like a tall house. Yeah. Maybe more than that. Yeah, it's a good size. I mean, I think. You can't see it from,

you know, a couple hundred yards away, but it's pretty big. I think if you're world's largest, you always think, well, this is going to be really big. Well,

it's because no one's even trying. Yeah. And it's, I would tell you, if you're driving around and you're near it, yeah, swing on by. I don't think it's, I don't think we're taking its own trip. Yeah. Yeah. Here's one last one. The name Kalamazoo has become a metanome.

Do you know what a metanome is? Yeah. I don't. Oh, I don't know. Iizmo, know what metanome is? Yeah. I don't. Oh, I don't know. I'd like to know. Kalamazoo. A word that sounds like metanome?

I don't know. I don't know what it is. I was hoping you would know. Metanome. What does it mean? A word used in metonymity. All right. What's a word that... It sounded like the government made that word,

and that's the voice of the government, metonymity. Well, what's the word meaning? He goes, it means it's a metonymity. It's a figure of speech in which a concept is referred to by the name of something closely associated with that thing or concept. It's like calling... And the example they give here is like when you say the Pentagon, when you really mean all the US military. Well, in this case, when you-

I don't even really wrap my head around that. I think this one's a better example. I think I'm okay not knowing the word. You've lived this long without using it. I don't think I need to really know. If you said this guy, that guy's from Kalamazoo, you may not literally mean Kalamazoo. You've lived this long without using it. I don't think I need to really know. If you said, that guy's from Kalamazoo, you may not literally mean Kalamazoo.

It may just mean exotic place. Timbuktu. Timbuktu. Timbuktu to Kalamazoo means that they're just from some exotic place. So today in Kalamazoo, now they embrace it, and they sell shirts with the phrase, yes, there really is a Kalamazoo. Yeah. That's pretty good. Yeah. That's pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty good.

That's good. Well, Bob Seger maybe should have used Kalamazoo instead of Katmandu. And then rep his state a little bit. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He said Katmandu. Yeah, we're going to Kalamazoo. Was Katmandu a made up?
