since we've been together go ahead Brian the Nateland Presents we shot all those yes since we were Land Presents. We shot all those. Yes. We're all last together. Oh, yeah. Those were great.

Those were hot shows. Those were great. Did we say what they were? Yeah. I don't know if I've said it. You can talk a whole lot about it. Yeah. Nate Land Presents.

We're doing a thing called the Showcase. And so it's six, I believe it was six comics a show. These three guys hosted each one one night. So the Genovations, y'all did it, so it's really up to them when they give it to us.

They go, we try to get them to do stuff. No, they did awesome. It looked awesome. So we're going to have that. I mean, we've got Joe's coming out hopefully soon, and then it'll probably come after that, maybe summer, August, or something like that.

But, yeah, we did. We had a lot of comics on it, a lot of great comics on it, a lot of different variety. And I think it's like – I had a lot of fun doing that. Yeah, it was great. I somewhat directed it. I stand there. You were in the director's chair. I was in the director's chair.

You were doing stuff. I do sit in the director's chair. Yeah, yeah. But it was – but yeah, those were just so much fun. I really, really enjoyed doing that. Just all the comics there, all the comics hanging out. There's a lot of great comics that are super funny. And it was, you know, when I was watching, I was like, man, this thing is, like, this is going to be great.

So I'm hoping to do more of those where, you know, you just get comics and pop in, do eight minutes or something like that. And then go do whatever so yeah so there we go and then we got another poster i didn't i and i just saw this the old hit creed of broadway bridgestone uh that's the first time i've seen that so pretty neat pretty neat uh so yeah uh i was in hershey this weekend uh a few places we were in williamsport hershey and in norfolk that's one of aaron's favorite spots hershey yeah i like hershey you do don't you uh it looks like you're back into it so they gave me how much you think calories is in a five-pound Hershey bar?

A five – I saw that. So it's that giant oversized straight-up Hershey? Yep. Five pounds. I'm going 10,000. I'm going 15. Yeah. I'll say 12,500.

11,500. Wow. 11,500. So not too bad for you. Not too bad. If you ate the whole thing. So, too bad for you. Not too bad. If you ate the whole thing. So, yeah, it's a lot of calories.

You're eating five pounds, though. You're not counting calories. No. You're like, hey, I'm just doing a thing now. This is what I do. Hershey is unbelievable. It is a great spot. Pennsylvania is very nice.

It's very pretty. It reminds you a lot of Tennessee. It's just a lot of mountains and farmland. And Hershey's just a great park. I mean, if – the guy was telling us some stuff about – and I don't know everything about the Hershey story of the guy. Maybe we've talked about him before. I don't remember. But he was – he's just so, like, the dude that ran Hershey,

like, it's all about, like, keeping ithey. It's all about keeping it family. All the stuff is done there, I believe. All the candy is made. In the park? I don't know if it's in the park, but it's like I could be saying all this and I could be wrong. A guy told me this. And it wasn't even like I'm a guy that knows everything.

It was just a guy that knows everything. It was just a guy there. Lived in the town. Yeah. Yeah. But it's like he makes it very family. It's very family-oriented. It's really a great park.

A lot of roller coasters. So for the kids that like roller coasters, the adults, I mean, some real deal roller coasters. I didn't know that it had all that. I didn't either. Because I was up in, I don't know, whatever the other town is nearby, Hershey, where they used to have a club and a hotel. Harrisburg. Harrisburg. No, not Harrisburg.

Lancaster. Lancaster, yeah. They say it's Lancaster. They get mad if you say Lancaster. Yeah. And I didn't go to Hershey, but I would have went. I just thought it would be like Disneyland, but like a lot of chocolate. chocolate. But this seems like a Six Flags with a lot of chocolate. Yeah, it is. That's probably a better way to do it. I mean, yeah, I didn't know where you're going with that because

I figured that Disney with a lot of chocolate would be enough to make you go look at it. But Disney feels like it's, I don't know, maybe I've not gone to Disney in a while. Well, I've definitely not gone in a while, but it feels like it's just like you're just looking at stuff. But Six Flags, it feels like you're participating. Yes. They are two different fields. Six Flags is a lot of rides. Yeah.

Like it's a lot of roller coasters. You participate at Disney World too, right? You do. I don't know. I went as a kid and I did go as an adult. Oh, this is all going off your kid brain? It is, yeah. Memory?

I went as an adult with selling pesticides with Spectracide. So that was different. Did you try to get Disney to be a customer? I'm sure they did. That would have been a big one. Yeah. That would have been a big one. Yeah, it would have been.

That would have been nice. You might not have been a comedian. That's true. You land the Disney account. I might have got some respect from the company. Yeah. You move up. I might have got some respect from the company. Yeah, yeah. You move up. I think you got an office.

Yeah, I mean, you know, a different life, you know? It could have been a different life for me. Yeah. A life of luxury, really, I bet. So even as a kid when you went to Disney, you thought it was too corporate? Yeah, I mean. Well, you know, I went to like Epcot or whatever, and I remember going on a ride in the ball, you know, and being like, this is like cool, but not really that fun.

Yeah. Where Six Flags, you're like on the Georgia Cyclone or whatever, and you're like, this is wild. Yeah. I tell you what, a lot of people don't hear the privileged side of a trailer park kid, but I think we've got one right here. Well, you know know i can't handle that disney goes all right let's go back to the trip yeah yeah yeah that's a little too family friendly for me yeah maybe it's too fancy and where you come from you want like i i do the vibe of a six flags is different yeah you're there for you want to be scared you want to ride some

rides you want to go upside down it's walmart first target is what it feels like we were getting like coupons off bags of bread and coke cans for six flags yeah i mean we really were taking bags of bread for money off i mean then we would well yeah we would do yeah kentucky for kentucky kingdom like yeah you would get like uh you get cans. Yeah, we did that too. Kings Island, you get cans. Yeah, and then you'd go out to the parking lot and eat lunch out of the cooler. Yeah. Get real soaked in your denim jeans on a water ride,

and then you get real chafed the rest of the day. Yeah. Have a tough time walking. You're like, this is a blast. Yeah. It was fun. Yeah, it is. That's a good way to put it, though, is the Six Flags with chocolate.

Yeah. But, you know, it's that more of a – but it's a very – it's a wonderful – it's a really, really nice park. The downtown has – the streetlights are Hershey Kisses, so all the streetlights are Hershey Kisses. They got a great downtown. It's just a nice place. I really liked everybody. People are very nice there.

I really just had it pictured as being like a real old park that people weren't going to anymore. But you see the website here and you're like, this is up to date. Look, it could be a park. I mean, I think people up there know about it. I would tell,

go to it. It's just a cool park. You're not going to go there like you're going to go to Disney and be there for a week or something, obviously, because Disney's enormous. But you go there for a weekend or like a few days. It's like going to Dollywood. Dollywood's a wonderful park.

You're not going to go to Dollywood for a week, but you go to Dollywood and it's a good time. And it's like worth, it's awesome to go. And Hershey's that too. It's all the kisses and Reese's and it's cool, man. It's cool. And then we got to do, so Abigail set up, we had an Airbnb in Hershey we were there two nights and we it was an awesome Airbnb and they had a pool

and so we were staying there and I didn't know this was happening Abigail set this thing up it's Jesse Jesse and his son Kenny came

forgotten friends reptile Jesse Rothacker yeah he runs the Facebook fan page for Jesse and his son Kenny came, Forgotten Friends, Reptile. Jesse Rothacker. Yeah. He runs the Facebook fan page for people, or he's one of them. One of the administrators. Yeah, administrator. And so awesome, awesome dude, awesome family.

His son was great. Like, I mean, just great. They came to Bridgestone. They all drove down from Bridgestone. They were at that, and, I mean, it was just, you know, very, just great. They came to Bridgestone. They all drove down from Bridgestone. They were at that. And, I mean, it was just, you know, very, very awesome. And so he, I didn't know Abigail set this up. So he came to the house and brought, like, I walk outside and there's just these reptiles.

And so I don't even know what's happening. Like, Abigail, like, calls me and it's like 1 o'clock. He comes over and is like, you know, the birthday thing is happening now. And I'm like, okay., the birthday thing is happening now. And I'm like, okay, I have no idea what this is going to be. And then you go out, and then it's like there's a basketball goal in the driveway. He's got a snake on top of it. Just like right on top, just hanging on the rim.

And then we go over, there's a tortoise in the grass, and then he's got all the snakes.ise in the grass and then he's got all the snakes he's also got corn snakes he's got everything he posted a video we can post it on dayland about saying the gila monster yeah and uh it was it was like super fun so he has an alligator too american alligator little one and he's like you want to go see it swim in the pool and we're like yeah of course like of course we want to go you know so we go and we get in the pool with the alligator just to be like kind of like all right you're swimming with an alligator i mean it's a very little alligator but it's still kind of crazy and you're always kind of like where is it like it's hard to see well he also had a python that was 13 feet long and then he goes you want to see if that gets in here and you're like yeah and so

if you can see this video just a little quick video so we put this in and i mean it's crazy dude it's crazy we swam and there's an alligator also in that pool oh yeah this is like one of those things where if it all goes well, it's all very exciting. But if something goes wrong, you're like, what were you thinking? Yeah. Why did you get in? The worst fan ever. Yeah.

Yeah, why did you do it? You go, I don't know. We shouldn't have done it. But it was. Is that like an albino python? It's like yellow and white. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to tell you what.

It's very calming for some reason. You do feel. I don't get it. You don't look calm there. You look like you're contemplating. I mean, you would think if you put me in any other water that close to a snake, I ain't sitting there just thinking. You're just going to be.

Oh, it's calm and having a guy right there who knows how to handle all these animals. And he's going the other direction. He would walk away at times. He would walk away. That's what I don't like. When you're around animal people and they leave you with the animals. It's like, no, you'll be here the whole time. Yeah.

He would. You know, we had this alligator in the pool. You're like, if this thing gets out, it takes off running. Which the Airbnb family, I'd imagine, did not sign up for this. They go, hey, we were looking at our ring video doorbell, and there's just alligators and tortoises running around. They had a lot of rules, and I hope one of the new rules is, could you know pythons or alligators in the pool?

And people are like, why would that ever happen? We've had it happen. It's python poop in the pool. Tortoise in the yard, fine. Fine. They tie a balloon on a tortoise so you can see where it goes. Oh, okay. Really?

Because a tortoise can kind of get going. And they don't go super fast, but they don't stop. Yeah. And so if you just don't pay attention, next thing you know, that thing, it could be in the middle of a field. He's like, the hardest part is you don't know how to find it uh so the video we're showing right now the there's the the snake is on that basketball hoop on that side i'm gonna we got a whole video kind of show you everything i'll post it uh but it was, um, yeah, I mean, dude, swim with the snake. It's just, it weirdly enough.

It is, it is comforting. Like it's, there's a calming to it. I think it's like, cause you know where the, you like, you know, you're looking at the danger and I know where the danger is at. And then, so yeah, it's not. And then you remember there's also an alligator behind you. Yeah. Sometimes.

Oh man. You'd have someone just come like like, my dad got Julie, and Julie was looking at the alligator, and he kind of threw a basketball at the back of it and just made a splash. And, I mean, yeah, there's a lot of jumping. Yeah. There's a lot of whoop, whoop. You're just going, where is, where, all right.

You know, every couple minutes is like, where's the alligator? Just, you know, the alligator kind of stayed over by these waterfall things. It just kind of was like, oh, it really was. It kind of wanted to go over there. It kind of recognizes, I'm not the star of the show right now. Yeah, it's kind of bad. He's over on now. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, it was a crazy, crazy. I mean, just like, we were just just the snake we're all just sitting there just you just it just kind of swims by you and i mean one point we're going where it does that we're kind of swim toward eric but it would it comes and it's like swimming and you see it and you're like this is you're almost like you're looking at your nightmare like if just you imagine this thing but it just kind of swims and swims around you yeah and then you're like all right yeah if snakes are cool there they can be great but you never know when

they're not gonna be cool you just don't know what's going on in their head eric and chase learned they both like snakes a lot yeah and so yeah eric wants to get one now but jamie's got a bunch of tattoos so you think he would probably do something like that. I'm surprised he doesn't have, you know. Yeah, me too. I mean, at one point he had two snakes. He's just walking around with them. They're in his pocket. He's FaceTiming his kids and wife.

He's just being like, Tim, we'll get a snake. Travis, tour manager, stayed inside the whole time. Yeah, I was about to say. He doesn't seem like a guy who'd be in the pool with us. No, he did not. He wouldn't even really come out. Yeah, I like a frog in the pool, and that's about it. I like a good old frog in there.

Well, this thing would have taken care of that frog. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. I think I'd rather have a snake than a frog. No, no. Frog is, you know, that feels like a real, I know it's an amphibian, but it's still a reptile. And I hate when they split that up.

You know what I mean? Like, they're still in that reptile family. It's two different things. You know, but reptiles and amphibians are always lumped together. They're hanging out, but they're different things. Yeah, but they're like, they're kind of the same thing. Yeah, they are. They just start differently.

An amphibian is just- Starts as like a little fish and then evolves into an animal. And then- It grows legs. Yeah. Whereas a turtle is born a turtle. It's not, you know what I mean? A turtle is amphibian too?

Turtle's reptile. Reptile, yeah. Yeah. Okay. What else is amphibian? I think certain types of lizards, like salamanders. Okay. And then-

It's a loose- Yeah, they start as like tadpoles, and then they grow their legs. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they emerge onto the water. Reptiles are born with lungs, typically lay their eggs on dry land and have scaly skin. Amphibians are born with gills and later develop lungs. They lay their eggs in water. Amphibians, they're hangingills and later develop lungs. They lay their eggs in water.

Amphibians, they're hanging out in water more. Yeah. That's the difference. But they're not born with legs, really. Okay. They grow the legs. Like a little tadpole. Mm-hmm.

They lose their tail. No, we don't start with legs either. Yeah. We really hung up on this leg thing. Yeah. Well, I mean, I raised a tadpole before, you know, to a frog. Yeah. Well.

There it goes. Was to a frog. Yeah. Well, there you go. Was that hard work? Yeah. Well, I mean, I had caught 40 or so of them, and only one made it. Only one? Yes. Terrible batting average. Yeah.

It's tough. Probably 40 could have made it if you hadn't have caught them. Yeah. I put them in an aquarium, and it got rough. It got hard for them. Actually, I don't know how long they were in there, but somehow the thing froze. It had turned to wintertime, and it froze, and there was a thick layer of ice in the aquarium.

And me and my mom, I was like, I bet all those tent poles are dead now. And then we looked underneath, and there were like two still alive. So we chiseled through there and got them out, and then my mom dropped one of them down the sink. And so we the one left i raised it to a frog made it was your aquarium outside yeah it was just like on the porch it was like obviously like i caught him and then kind of lost interest yeah forgot about him for a few weeks but oh that's great what and how long did it take to get to a frog it felt like it took a long time like weeks and was it like you saw it take to get to a frog? It felt like it took a long time. Like weeks?

And was it like you saw it get to like a big frog or did you let it go eventually? Well, it died eventually. But it got out. Yeah. And then we found it dead. 12 to 16 weeks. Typically for a tadpole to become a frog. I would catch little flies.

You know, flies will get in like the window. I would catch them and I would rip off a wing and then put it in there, and the frog would catch it and eat it. Oh, wow. Yeah. It was great. It was a fun kid pet. Yeah, yeah. Surprised you didn't go to Disney World.

Yeah, I mean, I'm into it. Do you get weird ads based on the stuff that you search? Sometimes, yeah. You know what you should use? Express VPN. That was pretty good good that is good i don't know if that's anything to do with what express vpn is but it's a decent that's pretty good i mean i didn't know what i didn't know either about yeah listen the economy's not getting

better we all know that it's important to save money and cut back on expenses i save a lot by using express vpn if you spend a lot of money on streaming services like Netflix, Paramount+, Hulu, you name it, with ExpressVPN, you can cut back and save every month. Let me explain. All these streaming services like Netflix, come in a little closer. All these streaming services like Netflix have thousands of more shows than you think. You don't see them because you're only given certain shows based on where you are. Sports South, which you can't get in nashville no i have it well look with uh with i have youtube tv you can't get

ballet sports on youtube okay i have xfinity cable oh yeah yeah old cable yeah okay he is just the chain no guide you just gotta flip through it Like in a hotel. Where's the clicker? The clicker. With like the real slow where you got to like click and it takes a minute. Man, we might talk about the TVs that had that dash. Sometimes it's like 104-5. Oh, yeah. 104-6.

That stuff. What is that? I don't know. I mean, I would leave the town. If that's the cable my town has, I would go. It's insane. Yeah, it's like we've got a lot of numbers. There's not really a need to get into decimals here.

Yeah. I've been in some hotel rooms where it's all that. I don't know. But what it is is that's usually over-the-air signals, like new Channel 5 has Channel 5 and 5-1, 5-2, 5-3. And it's secondary channels that show old movies or things like that. Or Brian and I making our television debut. Yeah, or the Circle Network.

Channel 4-5. Yeah, whatever it was. How do they get to Dash 5, though? How would you get to Channel 4-5? I have no idea. Like how do you put it in? Yeah. Four, and then there's a dash on your how would you get to channel 4-5 i have no idea like how do you put it in yeah four and then there's a dash on your remote and then five they're like oh really want to be a channel 4-2 but it's channel that's a lot of does every that's a lot of stuff you got to know

to do that sometimes it's 4.5 sometimes it's the old xfinity remote that i had you could just push a button and go, you can tell it what you want to watch, and it just pulls up. That's what mine is now. Atlanta Braves. And it comes up, and I'm like, that's what I'm talking about. There's no flipping through. You got rid of that? Yeah. They were listening to you too close?

Can I tell you what I think I'm very good at? If you hand me remote control, I can feel where every button's supposed to be on there. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't need to look at it. Yeah.

I've seen Aaron work a remote control. Yeah. It's pretty impressive. Do you think you can figure out, like, so you go into someone's house, they have a bunch of remotes laying down. Oh, dude. And they go, well, he got nine different. I go, let me see it.

I'll figure it out. Like the remotes where you have to, like, search the letters. Well, you can't see it. You have to feel it. I can feel it out. Yeah out i can kind of know volume up sorry right there volume down you know yeah menu is going to be in the middle i can do it behind my back i'm just trying to say how great aaron is thank you i mean it is like the way you got to find the letters i mean he is zooming through this thing i'm like whoa looks like a direct tv guy like you look like a guy that's yeah just the next crispy the next Krispy Kreme challenge.

It's the difference in typing like this and then knowing how to type. I mean, it is really something to say. I remember, like, going to people's, like, if someone ever had a complicated, like, a lot of remotes. And people still do. Where you go, you're like, I got seven remotes. And you go, well, cut this one on. That cuts this. You know, and you're like, well, why would you want to do this all the time my grandpa had he had like nine and he had them chained up

on like it looked like janitor's keys on this main this book that's awesome there'd be nine different remotes hanging from it with chains he'd throw it at you and be like good luck it's it's yeah like i when you see it i don't like when you have to have two i don't understand why you have to have two remotes like but there's you probably don't have two different different devices you got the sound system that's gonna have its own remote yeah get the tv but is there one but can you get a universal remote and have them all you can get universal remotes and program everything on it yeah it's just takes a lot people don't know you can do that yeah that's a lot but even like really sitting down and programming a universal remote i mean that takes some time there's a lot going on to it feels like tv is too important i bet you could

throw a kid 20 bucks yeah yeah that's probably true well you're just but you're and then you lose that one remote now you got to go back and that's exactly what happens like some family yeah some family does that then they lose that remote now they're back to four remotes yeah but i bet you could uh you find some kid you know 20 bucks can you figure this out that's true you know my dad had a satellite and he had he had a bunch of different remotes and he had one button that you couldn't access with the remote and it had you had to go up and push it on the tv and he would call the room. I'd be way in my room and he would call for me. And he'd go, hey, push that button up there. He could have just got up from the couch.

Yeah, yeah. How far was your room really though? Well, it was at my dad's house. So it wasn't a trailer. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't that far, but it was still like farther than his walk from the chair. Yes.

Yeah. Well, I was before remote. So I was the channel changer when I was a kid. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Do you remember this watch? You were out there turning the antenna. This is a Casio watch with a built-in television remote you program with your TV. Oh, no.

I don't know that. I watched a video of a guy hooking this up, using it on a modern TV. Oh. Right there. They still work. Yeah. I guess now they want you to talk into the tv of course i don't like talking yeah i don't i don't ever talk to siri or like i feel very uncomfortable doing it i don't like siri but with the remote control because siri never

seems like it actually is quicker i always see people doing siri uh get me to the gas station you know and i'm like i could have typed it into google by now by the time you're done like well it just feels uncomfortable like i always just feel weird around it like i uh travis uses a lot they just i mean i don't think even he just always he's like text because you can go text brian to come down now, and then it just sends that. But it's, yeah, I feel weird. I'd rather, I feel, it feels like, I'm going to say disingenuous, or is that the word? I thought you were going to say invasive. It could mean disingenuous.

Maybe. Yeah, what do you mean? Like, it just feels rude to me. Yeah, what do you mean? Like, it just feels rude to me. Like, already texting can borderline feel like there's no actual bond. It's like you're an afterthought. At least if I'm texting, in my mind, it's like, all right,

I'm at least putting some effort into saying I want you here. Right. Versus if I'm just ordering stuff from my phone, you just feel like, well, I don't even care if you come. I'm just doing it because I have to. So I'll shout it into my phone. So it's actually more accurate that way. That's how I feel, but I type it so he doesn't feel that.

Also, if you're talking, you're almost just going back to calling. You might as well just call if you're going to be saying it. And I would rather call. Yeah. Yeah. I would rather call. Yeah. Yeah. I would rather. I mean, there's a lot of texting, but I don't, yeah. Yeah. All right.

I feel like talk text, too, doesn't always pick up exactly what I'm saying. I've almost wrecked several times trying to edit because I'm trying to talk text so that I don't text and drive. But then I'm like, well, that word doesn't make sense. So I'm trying to talk text so that I don't text and drive. But then I'm like, well, that word doesn't make sense. So I'm trying to edit. I think that's more dangerous than just texting and driving. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Let's read some comments. Did y'all have stuff we all did this weekend? I doubt. Fun as I do. I've done some very exciting things. Oh, wow. I worked with Larry the Cable Guy not long ago. That was very fun.

I told Larry the Cable Guy Brian's story about meeting Cletus T. Judd and thinking it was Larry the Cable Guy not long ago. That was very fun. I told Larry the Cable Guy Brian's story about meeting Cletus T. Judd and thinking it was Larry the Cable Guy. Yeah. He enjoyed the story. We had a lot of fun. We had a cigar together. It was great. Yeah.

He's awesome. Look at that. There's the two of y'all. Yeah. Look at y'all. Yeah, we had a great time. Where'd y'all work at? Casino in Oklahoma.

Yeah. But it was just great to hang with Larry. I never had met him before. I met him. I did some radio stuff with him, but I never met him. But it was just great to hang with Larry. I never had met him before. I met him, I did some radio stuff with him, but I never met him. So it was fun. We had a great time. He's a good dude, man.

Yeah, we're like buddies now. I mean, this was great. And yeah, I just got back from Springfield, Missouri at the Blue Room Comedy Club. I had a great time there. It was awesome. Great place. Always have a great time.

A lot of Nateland people. I went to Conway, Arkansas to a Toad Something Festival, but the name sounds dirty, even though it was like a family-friendly thing. Toad suck. Yeah. Thanks for saying that. I didn't want to say it. But it was great, though.

Outdoor show, I thought, this is going to be terrible. Oh, you performed there? Yeah. Wow. Yeah, on Friday. You really get stereotyped, huh? Yeah. Justin Smith was there, too, right? Justin Smith was there, yeah. Oh, was he. You really get stereotyped, huh? Yeah, yeah. Justin Smith was there too, right?

Justin Smith was there, yeah. Oh, was he? Oh, it's a comedy festival? Well, it's a big festival, and they had a big comedy show. Oh, wow. Yeah, me and Justin, Will O'Donnell. It was great. Yeah.

Yeah. That's fun. Yeah. I did Dallas, Texas since I've been here, Addison Improv. Great. Sold out two shows during the week. I mean, it was great. That was great.

It was hot. I got one funny thing great. That was great. It was hot. I got one funny thing. All right. It's a lot of pressure now. Yeah, no, you set it up. I had a corporate gig in Spokane on Saturday of last week, and I'm connecting in Seattle. And I got my carry-on suitcase, and I got my backpack.

And then I get on the plane and go to Spokane. And the plane takes off, and I'm sitting there. I'm like, I don't have my suitcase with me. I just left it. I left it at the Seattle airport. So I'm flying to Spokane. This is a big fundraising event, and I'm wearing jeans, tennis shoes, and a T-shirt. And I'm like, I don't have my clothes.

I don't have my CPAP machine machine but i can't worry about that now i don't have like clothes to wear to this event so i i had to go to walmart and put together an outfit like last minute dude i scrambled to walmart i bought a 38 outfit but like is this it yeah that's funny uh yeah it wasn't i mean look i i a 30 outfit that didn't look much worse than what i normally wear yeah but i i ended up just walking out at this gig and i explained what happened and it was great like they they loved that but i was worried about it the whole day yeah because this is like they raised a ton of money people are dressed up nice and i'm wearing this what did you buy just like a button down some khakis some shaquille o'neal tennis shoes shaquille o'neal tennis shoes those cheap walmart sneakers yeah i just wanted something to look clean i was wearing like my grass cutting shoes yes so i just look like trash but it ended

up going great meanwhile at the seattle airport they think a bomb is in the airport. Well, that's what I was worried about that too, because it's still ingrained in my head. If you leave a suitcase even 10 yards away from you, everybody will think it's a bomb. But it took three days for somebody to turn it into lost and found. Wow. So it sat in the corner of a Hudson News or something, I guess, for three days. And nobody thought it was a problem. Well, I imagine mostly people are leaving suitcases.

Like, you're just going to see it. If you work there, you're like, you're just going to see it every two years. Sure, sure. Did you get it back? I got it back. I had to pay. They shipped it back to me. What'd you do about the CPAP?

Went to Target and got one? I wish you could, man. They're not that accessible. I just didn't sleep great for three or four days. Yeah. Yeah, it was tough. Anyway. Oh, that's a long time, though, too.

And who is this team? This is the Spokane Indians. It's their minor league baseball team, and they came out. I met the mascot, Ribby the Red Band Trout. He came out and he gave me this jersey and the hat. That's fun so that is a cool yeah

what would you say is the biggest night of the year for minor league baseball probably July 4th weekend I would say so too and that's why the Nashville Sounds have asked me

to throw out the first pitch on July 4th have they really about that whoa wait they asked you kinda yeah you can't frame it like that just don't get into the details Have they really? How about that? Whoa. Wait, they asked you? Kind of.

Yeah. You can't frame it like that. Just don't get into the details. Don't get so deep. We talked, all right? Bottom line is I'm doing July 4th, first pitch. Dude, how bad? Are you worried, Ben?

No, you've seen me. I'm a natural athlete. Yeah. You are a deceptively good athlete. Not even deceptively. But I haven't seen you. I don't think I've seen you throw something. I want to come see that. I've never you throw something. I want to come see that. I've never been there, but I want to come see you throw the first pitch.

They gave me a few dates, and I said, well, I'll take July 4th. That's when most people are there. It'll probably be sold out. I mean, it's back there on July 4th. Like 12,000 people. Big hot dog day. I said, look, I've done 19,365. I can handle 12,000, all right?

What's your strategy? Talk me through it. Are you going to actually try? I mean, what are you going to do? I asked them. I said handle 12,000, all right? What's your strategy? Talk me through it. Are you going to actually try? I mean, what are you going to do? I asked him. I said, can I stand on the mound? Can I do the – I said, yeah, have fun with it. Go with it and do whatever you want to do.

So I've been watching some videos of some people. Jerry Seinfeld threw a very good first pitch. He had the glove and everything. Of course, is he part owner of the Mets? Or is he just a huge fan? He's a giant fan. Maybe. I don't know. But he just a huge fan? He's a giant fan. Maybe. I don't know.

But he threw a great. He went out there. He kind of went sidearm with it. That's the Seinfeld look. He's got a Mets t-shirt with the blazer on over it. Oh, takes the blazer off. Brian, you're doing all this, aren't you? Oh, yeah.

You're going to spike your jacket down? Wow. That was a good pitch. It was a good pitch. A little movement on it, down. Wow. That was a good pitch. It was a good pitch. A little movement on it too. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

So I've been watching Bill Burr throughout one of the Red Sox game. So I'm going to come, like Jerry, over the top. Yeah. My day. That's what we did.

Are you going to do some training though? No. Or are you just going to watch the videos? I'm just, I'm a natural. He's a visual learner. Are you going to go throw? I've never pitched before,

so off the mound. I might throw a couple. Is that tough off the mound? No. No, but it might be for you. I mean, I can throw a pitch,

but on level ground. Are you going to get it there? We'll see. Yeah. That's why I say, I mean, I might go throw a couple. I'll go throw a couple. Just to get yourself ready. Yeah, yeah. Can I might go throw a couple, you know? I'll go throw a couple.

Just to get yourself ready. Yeah, yeah. Can I come over to your house and throw with you? Do you have a glove? No, but I'll get one. Yeah. I got a glove. I mean, I can throw here.

Yeah. Because we're both lefties, so. Yeah. Oh. Lefty, too. Lefty, yeah. That's a whole different thing. Oh, yeah.

They might sign you to the team. They always want a left-handed pitcher. You never know. They knew the story I've told on the podcast about me oh that's cool uh not the stealing first but i told a story that same episode about some contest they had on the field and i sailed it over yeah the people's head and they're like here's your chance to redeem yourself so this is a full circle moment for you what are a redemption arc this is we'll see Yeah, yeah. I'm excited, man. I'll be there. Yeah.

All right. That's exciting. That'll be crazy. We need to go throw. We should throw. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Tell everyone it's more concerned than I am. I like to say this way, but I'm a natural athlete to like, actually, you know what, I will go throw. Yeah.

Yeah. We need to take it serious. You go out there representing Nate Land, we can't have you. And you're a pickleball or you're a made-up whatever game we played, legend. So you can't. That's true. That's true. Can't people see the weakness, right?

All right. Yeah. If there is any. Is there any? We don't know. Yeah, I don't think there is. Yeah. I think I'm pretty ironclad.

A lot of people are sending me videos now of the left foot. Well, in their case, right foot coming up late on this golf shot. So it's taken off. People see me and now they're trying to do it. Oh, yeah? They've sent me some professionals that have done it. Now they're hitting out of the sand or something. They're like, look, there was one video of you when you were playing in that pro-am

where your foot came up a little late. They're like, Nate's doing it. It caught on. We saw these comments. Do we need to do anything? Well, I mean, since we're talking about professional athletes, we could talk about Viore. Viore.

That's why I wear this. They asked me to. Oh, yeah? because they heard about my yeah yeah they go you're the body we wanted that yep and viore i've got all viore on now pants uh like joggers this jacket i wear every day uh the whole podcast crew loves their viore uh all things we have a great athletic Athletic core shorts. I wore those. I wear those a lot. Yeah.

Yeah, they have the ones with the liners in them, too. I mean, it's just, you just get up, throw them on. It's the best. I love the outdoor trainer shell jacket. That is what I wear. Specifically up related. Thanks for bringing attention to the forgotten part of the state. UP.

Oh, UP related. Still up though, upper. It's up there. It's up related. It's up there for sure. It's up. Yeah. What's a youper?

That's an upper peninsula person? A youper? A youper, yeah. I like it up there. Yeah, I want to go up there. Yeah, it's a nice nature. Saw an eagle up there. Oh, wow. Yeah. yeah it's a nice nature it's on eagle up there oh wow yeah just driving down the road just saw eagle uh aaron crandall aaron crandall i love listening

to the michigan episode as a born and raised michigander however there are a couple things you missed that i needed that i think needed to be said. The Nancy Kerrigan-Tanya Harding incident that Nate claims nothing about happened in Detroit. Ooh. And I think you missed a pretty crazy fact about Michigan that you could all get behind. Canadian coins are accepted in Michigan just as American coins, especially near the Detroit area.

Wow. Wow, I didn't know that. That's interesting. That is nice. They do have a Tim Hortons, which I think of as a Canadian place. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. You used to always, I remember, like, I feel like there used to be,

I guess you were around change a lot more. Yeah. Or you'd always run into the Canadian, oh, this is a Canadian coin. I feel like you would get in and it wouldn't fit. Yeah. And that happened a bunch. It used to happen, like, I remember it happening to me, and like, this Canadian coin doesn't fit in the machine you run into that problem more i haven't

used change in a long time i haven't either uh i think it's going you don't hear it talked about as much now now they got a credit card and even on the vending kind of stuff it's old like park some old parking meters still yeah it's kind of crazy i had needed some change for a parking meter the other day i had a bunch of canadian coins in the truck and i was really that's not gonna work did you try it i didn't try it wow i actually have never gotten a parking ticket in nashville so i don't really ever worry about it wow you're gonna get one today yeah yeah yeah we might put that out in the world somebody really made yeah i'm not the one written where you parked in the driveway.

Did you ever use, Brian, did you ever do like a, I think they're called slugs, where you tie a string to a quarter and you put it in, then you yank it back out? I feel like those were real popular when you were. No, but Quinnstar has been a big part of my life. Oh, yeah. So those Canadian pennies or whatever would always come back out. Oh, they would. It's like, how do they know, dude? It's just different.

But we just had a birthday party for Eleanor. My mom got her a piggy bank. And she's like, you can just put your change in here, you know, and it'll add up. And I thought, she'll never even know change. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you'd put – I remember growing up, like, someone – I thought, like, because when I went to school, like, some people had money,

and you would hear, like, some kid be like, well, his dad always puts – when he comes home, anything less than a 20, he puts in a change thing. Whoa. Yeah. Wow. I remember hearing that somewhere. It was crazy. Yeah.

And I was like, oh, my God. Like, good night you just all you just get that that's a lot of money that you could just be like yeah throwing away i remember rolling change just to go buy things you know roll up some nickels and you get like two dollars and you could go buy a coke or something yeah yeah that was a big time Yeah Yeah that would be That was like fun Yeah Yeah I also read

When I looked Researched that Canada Wow Yeah It's kind of in between I had a stroke there Yeah

Should I go Canada Or go Canadian They send a lot of their trash To Michigan To be A lot of their garbage Goes to Michigan Wow

Wow So they got a lot of landfills there That does not look good for Michigan. Well, I guess they make money off of it. Michigan's big on recycling cans. I remember that buying beer in Ann Arbor. You have to pay the deposit per can, and then you return them all. Yeah, they're big on that.

Yeah, that's good. Leona Lee. yeah they're big on that yeah that's good uh leona lee and that's like sign buddy goes when he's like he ripped the label off you can hardly tell yeah leon leona lee the mackinac mackinac bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it was built and is still the longest in the Western Hemisphere. The center lanes are great so the wind doesn't blow it right into the straights. Some people are intimidated by it, so you can call bridge support and have someone drive you and your car across. Oh. Yeah, we've been across that, I think, right? We did.

We drove across that bridge. But they call it Mackinac, right? Mackinac. Even though it's spelled Mackinac. Yeah. And then they get mad at you if you say Mackinac. Yeah, as if it's obvious. Yeah.

I've heard of Mackinac. Don't spell it like that. Don't spell it like Mackinac if you mean it to be Mackinac. You've heard of Mackinac? I have heard of Mackinac. And I just- A couple weeks ago, we talked about it. Yeah, probably then.

Yeah, that's bridge. I get being on a bridge and being like, all right, you feel it would be a lot. I think I've been across the Golden Gate Bridge, and it's crazy. You're so far up there. Oh, yeah. I remember walking across the Golden Gate Bridge, and it's just so hot. Jafirophobia. It's the fear of bridges. did y'all call bridge support

and have them drive you guys over no we didn't do that but i have family members uh one in particular very scared i remember being in the car with her and we got to the bridge and she's like she had to get out and let somebody else drive she's like i cannot drive over this bridge wow so i guess that is a common thing if they have a whole task force out there did they switch back or did they just after they got by the bridge they switched back yeah oh well they didn't just go i'll just take over from now yeah that's what i would do you had to go you're just not driving anymore you can't handle the bridge yeah i'd hate for us to encounter some traffic yeah it'd be interesting if they would have yeah yeah, to go. I'll just take it from here.

Yeah. You know what? We might go over some other bridges. Or you got to go over that bridge coming back. So just stay, keep driving. How big of a bridge was it? Not that big. The one that gets to Dauphin Island from Mobile, Alabama?

Oh, that one's pretty big, though. Yeah, it's substantial. It's not the longest in the Western Hemisphere, but it's pretty big. But it's long. It's a long bridge, and then it's got a- It's a bridge bridge. Oh, I might have done that. Yeah, and it's like a crazy-

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, some of them are. You go across, and you're like, yeah, I get it, how you can be nervous. I get it. This is the one. It's a big kind of- Hump in the middle. Yeah, such a long bridge, too, and then it's got big kind of hump in the middle.

Such a long bridge, too, and then it's got that big hump. All right. I'm back on board. Patrick McCormick. The first season of anything featuring Zack Morris was Good Morning, Miss Bliss, and is why you won't find it as the first season of Saved by the Bell. The whole show was launched as a vehicle for Hayley Mills, the former Disney child actress.

Instead, the kids stole the show, and they relaunched Dropping Mills, featuring the kids in the following season, and the rest is history. Dude, that's got to be tough. You have a show built around you. Oh, yeah. And then they're like, you're actually not the star of the show. But then they also dropped two of the kids. Yeah, so I do remember all these kids.

Yeah. Yeah, they dropped those two. I remember the one, the girl on the left, the second on the left, she made it pretty far. I think the kid on the right did not. This guy? Yeah, I think he was out pretty quick. They were like, let's get a bit of Ralph Macchio here

and get some hotter kids in there. Yeah. He kind of looks like Ralph Macchio, doesn't he? Yeah. I don't know if they said hotter kids. Let's get some hot kids in here. You know what I mean. So Dusty will watch.

But yeah. And I remember that lady. Yeah, that is, you know. It's crazy how kids were looking at it. Right, right, right. So this show was set in Indianapolis. And then the next season, it was just set in Bayside, California. And they don't explain.

I think they just- The whole school just picked up and moved to LA. Yeah, I think so. California. This was your guy's heyday, I guess. Yeah. I was already too old for it. Yeah.

It was the 90s. I was in college and working. You were like, what happened to Miss Mills? Yeah. Yeah, I was- I remember her, what- But yeah, I mean, what's bad is, though, to be getting on that show and, because I don't know if they get residual checks or something, but, like, if you're that girl, like, they switch the show, you want to be like, can I get, like, some, you know. Yeah, yeah. They're like, we'll give you some points or whatever they, you know, and like on the new one. Cause then now you're sitting,

it's on forever. Yeah. Give me a producer credit. Yeah. But I mean, they don't know that I guess at the beginning. Did she ever get a cameo in Saved by the Bell? I wonder.

That'd be nice. I feel like it. I think I read when they released the Saved by the Bell, like box set years later, they put that season in there. So she probably gets residuals for that. Okay. Good for her.

I just watched last night, back in my day, Family Ties. Yeah, I was. I was a big Michael J. Fox fan. Great show. Back, Future, Teen Wolf, those were... And it's still good. Family Ties, great show. I watched a bunch of Family Ties episodes the other day.

It was so great. Yeah. I don't know if I ever, what's the plot of the show? It's just a family? Yeah, but I mean, he's very funny. He's a young Republican, really into Ronald Reagan. His parents are kind of hippies. They work at public television, and it's just, it's a very funny show.

Never watched it. Yeah. What was the show Kirk Cameron was on? Growing Pains. show. Never watched it. Yeah. What was the show Kirk Cameron was on? Growing Pains. Growing Pains. Different show? Yeah. Great show, though.

No, it was the same show. Sometimes they alternate it. Do they ever do crossover episodes? That happens a lot. It's a different network. I was watching King of Queens the other day, and all of a sudden, Raymond shows up. They were in the same world. Okay.

But this is a different universe? Yeah. Family ties? Okay. Yeah. other day and all of a sudden raymond shows up yeah they were in the same world okay but this different universe yeah family ties and okay yeah uh different networks do we i met michael j fuck did we talk about it i don't think i did no oh is that what you're trying to set me up for yeah oh i thought you might want to share the story oh yeah i wasn't going to say on the air i'm setting you up but that was a good well you said you yeah but yeah that was a good setup that was like then i was like are you uh-huh like it was so subtle you weren't sure yeah i was like are you trying to yeah i did meet michael j fox i did a uh show for uh a benefit show for the for parks and he's got a new uh uh show out called steel. It comes out May 12th. But the Michael J. Fox Foundation, I mean, Parkinson's is insane.

I saw, there's some photos from that event. It's just insane. But I just searched Michael J. Fox Nashville. I mean, brutal. And so it's like, I feel like they're getting close, but you just, it's, I mean, it's so, it's just so like crazy. But it was, he was awesome dude he was he was awesome like we just talked about like

uh you know he's talking about back to he's trying to get his guitar from back to the future the first one oh yeah he's trying to find it Maybe they're doing a documentary about it or something, but they're trying to find that documentary. He's just, yeah, just a good dude. Brad Paisley was there. And so the whole thing was like the whole, they had food that was great. This chef made all the food for the place. And, you know, I'm not good at describing it. It was at Belmont, and their new center there, they have a beautiful.

The Fisher Center? The Fisher Center. It's very, very pretty. It's very, and it's just done so well. But, yeah, we went to this and meeting him, and it was crazy. I mean, it's crazy meeting him. Like, he's just, he was so famous. I mean, it's crazy meeting him.

Like, he's just, he was so famous. Just, you know, at the time, like, just, Court McCown, who's a comic that just moved here to Nashville, and he was in Teen Wolf, I believe. And I believe they made Teen Wolf, and then they held on to it and released Back to the Future first. But the Back to the Future was filmed after Teen Wolf. Teen Wolf was already done.

And then they did Back to the Future, then they went back to Teen Wolf. But Michael J. Fox was, there's a point where you're like, I mean, I don't know if he can make it bigger than that guy. He had a movie, Doc Hollywood, too. Oh, that's another great one. And I love that movie. Doc Hollywood is so great. Yeah. It was a little bit later, that's another great movie. And I love that movie. Doc Hollywood is so great. Yeah.

It was a little bit later, but yeah. Yeah. And then Spin City was a show that he had. Yep. That was really good. And he was on West Wing, right? No. Oh, never mind.

Spin City, I guess. That's a political show? I don't remember what it was about. I remember watching it. How are they not making stuff like this anymore? I know. I mean, when you think the 80s and the 90s was just like the heyday of movies, it doesn't feel like they make this kind of stuff anymore. Well, the movies they're making now make so much more money than any of these movies.

I've never heard of this movie, Doc Hollywood. It's great. But it's, yeah, it like but you they you bought into a star like it was like all right they bought into michael j fox so then they just was like put him in anything and then all the movies are great and everybody loves him and he's just in everything but the movies are pretty original ideas are very original ideas yeah and i guess now they just keep making the it is for that billions of dollars they're making but like there's nothing fun like that like teen wolf and like this stuff was fun it was like a fun you know movie and versus now it's like nothing's fun anymore yeah i mean i agree it's such a crazy like

because they were yeah yeah i mean who would be a star like him now the rock yeah but not not like but he was a kid dude i mean rock hollywood that's what it would be yeah they should be i guess it could be like Rock or Kevin Hart like where they're making that kind of stuff. But he was making teen movies and you know like

and Michael J. Fox was like a normal guy though. I think that's what it was. Like you see The Rock and you're like alright. Like this is not a normal person.

Michael J. Fox like is was the most normal man. I mean, he was huge. Yeah. Huge. All right. Ooh. Zach Walker, apparently saved by the bell,

wrapped up shooting 10 episodes in the fourth and final season. And then the network suddenly ordered 10 more episodes, but the contracts expired for all the cast. They couldn't get new contracts agreed to for the people playing Kelly and Jesse, and they didn't want to recast them, so they just invented a new character, Tori, and then aired those episodes in the middle of the season. I think that's the girl maybe you were talking about last week.

Wait, Kelly was out after? Yeah, I remember Tori, and then uh yeah no it was that girl that's on that miss bush oh it was yeah that's who i remember well maybe we looked at the photo of tori on the michigan i feel like she had the leather jacket yeah yeah so did kelly and jesse they left according to him they couldn't resign them so they're just like we're just going off zach walker uh i think zach i think we do believe i think we use uh all you guys he's like our guy couldn't resign them so they're just like we're just going off Zach Walker I think Zach knows I think we do believe

I think we use all you guys he's like our guy in Hershey for the info I think he even sent a link to an article that I didn't believe

because I trust him I trust him too so Kelly and Jesse here's what I would and I guess with their careers they did good

Kelly went on to 90210 and right yeah I think so. And did other big stuff. Tiffany Amber. Yeah. And then Jessie did stuff.

She took a different direction. She took a different direction. Yeah. But that movie was big, I think. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if nothing else from Just Saved by the Bell fans that were like, this is very exciting.

But then Zach, he stayed. i feel like it's like you could see that where they want to negotiate for more money and all this stuff like that and i there's people that are going to just like hold it i guess if they're done and they're like i don't want to do this anymore but a lot of times you're like you should probably hang in there yeah yeah until it's slater's really had the best success yeah I mean he's still He's probably the most famous Yeah From which Out of all of them

I mean Right now dude He's been the most famous since then He's on Every hotel is Just Well that's what I know him from Is he doing other stuff?

No Not that that's a bad No it's that But it's like But I'm saying like Still it's the most recognizable Doesn't he host host an entertainment show? I think so.

Yeah. Mario Lopez, yeah. Yeah, I mean, he's just Mario Lopez now, but he's just really wrapped his career perfectly into, you know. Vice has a show called The Dark Side of Comedy, and they did one documentary on Screech. And I felt sorry for him after watching it he had a hard life and dustin diamond dustin diamond and he was much younger on the show than the rest of

part of his life being hard was that everyone knows him as screech and not as dustin diamond yeah yeah i opened for him once did you yeah i was about to ask him any y'all work with him how was it uh caroline's it was like it fine. I don't remember it being crowded. There's part of me that thinks we even canceled, but I don't remember that. I can't remember. But when I did it, I think it wasn't like it felt. Because I think I heard stories. But it was at a place where it's probably a little more of a humbling place where it was like it's kind of going the wrong way.

So I don't remember having, like, there was nothing that stood out. Like, he was, you know, like, he was just like, yeah, he was fine when I met him and stuff like that. And so, I mean, it couldn't have been, you know, probably 10 years before he died or something like that. Like, uh, yeah, I mean, it is, he just got put into like, yeah,

you could just put into something. Yeah. He was, he was on set by the way, all the college years also, I believe. Well, he was so recognizable too from that. It's like,

I mean, what do you, what do you do career wise after that? It's. Standup comedy. Yeah. But it's like, you mean, what do you do career-wise after that? It's... Stand-up comedy. Yeah, but it's like you could almost... You almost have to go like... I think to enjoy life is almost like a motivational speaker type role.

Oh, yeah. Like something that's very positive because you're like, all right, use your fame for I'm going to be a motivational speaker. At least then you're sending positive stuff. Like Slater did that. Mario Lopez is like he's a very positive person, and so you see him as his big smile and the dimples, but it's like he's a welcoming person.

And so you went the route of that. He can be the host of anything. It's like he's a welcoming person and so like you went the route of that yeah he can be the host of anything you can be it's like you can do that route yeah i think dustin diamond tried it and i don't know but i think he tried to go like real dirty comic route yeah right and it's like you're like running from screech rather than him just embracing it yeah and go you this is what you got dealt with. And then you do it. And then you could. You know, it's like, I imagine you got to gradually. Mr. Balding's a comic too, right?

Belding? Belding. Mr. Belding. I like Mr. Balding though. I'm pretty sure he's a comic. Mr. Belding does comedy too. Yeah, I think he does stand-up. Dennis Haskins. Yeah. I think he does stand-up Dennis Haskins

Yeah I think he does stand-up He went to Notre Dame He was born in Chattanooga Wow, look at that Notre Dame and Chattanooga Yeah, Notre Dame High School This could be you one day, Aaron

Yeah Played basketball at UT Chattanooga After failing to make the team at UT Where is Is he in He's 72 years old. Wow. Did he do stand-up?

I think he did stand-up. No, it's not on his Wikipedia. Well, I mean, you don't know what you're doing. Just type in his name, Dennis Hackins, in stand-up comedy. I just did a find, and the word comedy does not appear on this entire Wikipedia page. I know, but maybe it's not in the Wikipedia page. You think there's other literature on him that includes... I think there could be a flyer.

Dennis Haskins stand-up comedy. Got a lot of Dennis Regan stuff. Internet's maybe not on to it yet. Nate knows. Yeah, I know. Maybe he wasn't.

Julie Forkner. Forkner. Julie Forkner. That's probably a tough last name. Yeah. I talked with my husband about the fence thing with Dusty's neighbor. He used to be in residential and commercial property management and had really good insight that I thought y'all would find interesting.

You put the flat, nice side, you put the flat side facing out so no one can climb your fence and gain access to your property. The horizontal support beams make climbing the fence much easier. That's a great point. Well, that's exactly what my sister said to me. Yeah. But the problem is I have, you know, my other neighbor put up a fence, so that nice side is facing me, and my other neighbor put up a fence,

the nice side's facing me, so they can gain entrance on those sides. I was trying to make it all match. Yeah, but now you're the entrance into everybody's yard. Yeah. So like everybody, they're all having on the inside the nice side. Then you're the, it's like, well, just go to Dusty's house. And from there, you can get into everybody's house. Yeah.

Well, I got two nice sides. And then I have the fence I put up, which is not the nice side. So I can get into my neighbor's yard, and everybody else can get into mine. Mm-hmm. When was the last time you hopped a fence? It's been a while. I feel like I used to hop fences all the time. Yeah.

It's probably been 10 years. No, I've hopped one not too long ago. Do you remember the circumstances? It would have been on the road where you're walking through some town, you know, you're walking through some weird town and you jump a fence. But, I mean, you definitely go, I'm climbing a fence, like you make an announcement. It's a thing, yeah. It's a thing.

It's not just like a kid, like, but you're like, yeah, I'm jumping this fence and I'm going to, like, be careful about it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I do find it interesting that you're walking through towns hopping fences. Well, you know, when you're going to, you're walking through towns hopping fences. Well, you know, when you're in these towns and then you're like, you go walk around, I mean, you're just.

That night we played pickleball. We could almost have jumped a fence. I was trying to think if we did. I don't guess we did. We didn't. But we almost would have. That would have been a big fence. That was a tall one. Yeah.

I don't know if we would have done that one, but it was a double-decker fence. Oh, yeah. So that would have been. Chain link? Yeah. Chain link. Yeah. So that would have been tough to climb.

But like over the tennis courts or something, like you'd jump that one. I think I jumped the net when I dominated you guys. Yeah. You did. All right. Animal Fights with Nick Thune comments. Heather Mrotek, best AG1 ad read I've heard. Thanks for – oh, best AG1 ad read I've heard.

Read. Best AG1 ad read I've heard. Thanks for keeping it in. Yeah. That was great. I mean, it was really – I mean, I don't know what happened to me that day. I was losing it. And then right as I was getting it together,

I felt like it was all coming together. Brian goes. And by the way, shout out to whoever edited it, making sure we got that clip in. I'm glad they included that so you could see what it was. Yeah, I didn't like that part. Well, some people suggest you guys were taking over some other greens beforehand. Oh, okay.

I want to make it very clear that that was not the case. It's the same thing. It used to happen in church a lot where it's like, you're not supposed to be laughing. Then that compounds with everything else. I used to get in trouble in school a lot for laughing. I could not. When I'm not supposed to laugh, it can really get me.

I mean, I used to get in trouble all the time about uncontrollable laughter. Yeah. I mean, it's fun to laugh. It is fun to laugh. I mean, let it out. You know what I mean? Well, AG1 loved it, and they asked me to read the ad. Our next partner is athletic greens i think all of us are trying to take our ag1 by athletic greens every day does he still laughing we all gave ag1 a try because we

want to increase energy and immune system support for our busy lifestyle i've said that was good i've said this before i'll it again. I eat poorly on the weekends. I'm trying to beat Nate in this weight loss challenge. So Monday morning, I take my AG1. It's a great way to start your week. I did it this morning. Just Monday. I drink it every day this weekend.

Yeah, I've never heard of this bird before, and there's a lot of people acting like we're complete morons for not knowing what it is. I reckon, I'm guessing 90% of people watching it has never heard of this. Well, the person that submitted it, this thing we're reading, I wonder, did they think they were submitting a turkey or this? I bet so. That's where- I know a lot about animals and I've never heard of this.

Google the image. Yeah, yeah. Do we know the person that put this together? They sent it in for us? Someone sent in, hey, check this out. I don't know that they made it. All right, well, be honest, and you let us know if you thought that was a turkey. That is what it is.

I don't think we zoomed in enough on that. I don't think it – I mean, actually, we had the turkey winning, right? Yeah. Well, you're supposed to tell Dusty how it went down. Do you remember? No. All right. So this baboon fought this.

Do I need to finish this? The comments before you get into this? Maybe we'll finish before you get into it. That's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So sorry. It's a cassowary. Cassowary.

Yeah, that sounds like a casserole. Yeah, it sounds like after the turkey's already done. Cassowary, yeah. Yeah. What is this. Cassowary, yeah. What is this, cassowary? Cassowary sounds like with your parents, you can't afford casserole. Yeah. We're having cassowary again.

Leslie Steinkamp, Steenkamp. My seven-year-old son loves the Who Would Win books that break down animal fights. These might help with references, information in the finals. Love the podcast. Yeah, a lot of people have emailed me this. There's kids' books, Who Would Win, and they pair two animals against each other. It's popular among seven-year-old boys. I would love to read this. Yeah, these are great.

I might buy these books. Yeah. They get you prepared for UFC later in life. Derek Wilkin. Nate talking about how he doesn't use contractions, and in the next sentence he says, everybody does it a lot, but I won't. You did that.

I did right there, but I won't. That was intentional. You're doing a joke. I don't think he was. I'd have to see it. I could be doing a joke. there But I won't That was intentional You're doing a joke I don't think it was I'd have to see it I could be doing a joke I think I will I said

Because I remember I said That was good And you're like Yeah that was pretty good You knew Yeah I think I was doing a joke Yeah Come on

I'm a professional I would never Never slip up I ain't gonna mess anything I ain't I ain't not What would ain't not What would you what it ain't not what ain't be i'm not and it depends ain't it can be is not or am not is it not a real word though

i don't think it is ain't ain't a word and ain't in the dictionary yeah yeah jace lee as a mailman i can tell you backing up is a big no-no. The scanners we use will ping us every time we back more than 50 feet. Wow. Yeah, a lot of mailmen emailed us saying, that's a real thing. Backing up, you don't do it. Wait, I don't know what that means. As a mailman, you're not allowed to back up? It's a big thing that, yeah.

If you drive a mail truck, they don't want you to back up. Okay. Somebody sent in, they have written in the mail trucks, there's a thing that says do not back up. It's highly discouraged. It's a huge safety liability because there's no visibility behind these mail trucks. So they just say, just do a U-turn. Yeah, don't back up.

How do you do a U-turn? Oh, but you'd have to back up. Do a three-point turn, you're going to have to back up, but don't just back up. They don't want you to do a U-turn, oh. But you'd have to back up. Do a three-point turn. You're going to have to back up, but don't just back up. They don't want you to do a three-point turn because you have to back up. Oh, I guess you'll just have to. Yeah. Well, yeah, just find a street, take a left, and come back.

Drive to someone's yard. Go up on the curb. Yeah. And then imagine just like a mailman. That'd be very funny to see a mailman. He's just five yards over, and he's like, I can't back up. And so he's just trying, he keeps getting himself stuck more, just trying to get back to the road.

Yeah. And because he won't back up. My mailman, by the way, says he used to deliver mail to your house when you lived on my side of town. Oh, yeah? Because I had, I didn't know that he knew the podcast or whatever, but I'd talked to him before and i had some people doing construction at my house and they blocked the mailbox and i

was like i met him out there and i was like hey sorry about this he goes well i was gonna tell you nate bargazzi never never blocked his mailbox yeah are you the right where we lived uh i guess very close area yeah okay i think i'm the only one here that knows where both of you lived. Oh, yeah? It was very close. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we didn't. I think, you know,

we're in a cul-de-sac now and I worry about, that's a tough one. And I try not to block the mailbox. I really think about it. And the trash. The trash is hard to put out because you don't,

like the truck, like, you know, they tell those people to back up all the time, those dump trucks. Oh, yeah. Garbage truck. That seems like a brutal know, they tell those people to back up all the time, those dump trucks. Oh, yeah. Garbage truck. That seems like a brutal, but usually there's a guy back there.

I was going to say this person back there. Yeah, and he's like, I'll keep an eye on him. All right. So, let's do some of these fights. So, Dusty, last week a baboon fought what we thought was a turkey. And we did some research on the turkey, learned that turkeys can fly up to 55 miles per hour. Yeah. Crazy.

I've seen turkeys in my backyard jump a six-foot privacy fence. Whoa. Yeah. So this baboon- But on the nice side? He jumped the nice side, yeah. Whoa. From the ground straight up to the top of it

Landed on the top Down on the other side So this baboon had a big advantage All the baboons were there watching him He had a huge fan base But he got cocky He climbed up on the Up the banister

Yeah, putting on a show He was kind of putting on a show And stop me if you listen to this In your car on the podcast. Okay. Got too cocky and the turkey he didn't know

could fly flew up knocked him down I believe crushed him one. Upset of the century. Really classic

tortoise in the hair tale. You're getting too cocky. Hubris. There was a spin. The baboons all in the audience got so upset about it, there was like a riot, I guess, right? Yeah.

Okay. And they rushed the turkey, killed the turkey. So even though the turkey technically won, the baboon gets to advance. A different baboon. Oh, okay. Wow. But a lot happened.

But no baboons allowed to come watch that fight. Okay. The next baboon. They've been allowed to come watch that fight. Okay. The next baboon. They've been banned. They've been banned. Okay. Now, if this is a cassowary. I'm told it's the meanest bird alive.

It may not even be able to fly, though. People said the cassowary would kill humans. But can it fly? Well. It's flightless. Yeah, so it couldn't have got up there. The baboon would have jumped right down on it. Most dangerous bird on the planet.

Inside edition. Send an ambulance. Oh, it evolved from dinosaurs. I mean, it looks like a velociraptor. Yeah. Did it kill a guy? I'm guessing he did. Yeah, it looks like it has killed some people.

They got it chained in. Maybe this person did know it was a cassowary, and that's why'll get it. Yeah, it looks like it has killed some people. They got it chained in. Maybe this person did know it was a cassowary, and that's why he picked it. Because, I mean... Oh, yeah. It's just super aggressive. Oh, yeah. All right. So now it's being...

This changes things. This changes things. That thing takes the emu, I'll tell you that. Yeah. Don't get ahead of it. That might be coming up. Yeah. But it didn't advance, though, right?

No, it advanced. It just can't use a gun the next round. No, the cassowary is not... Oh, yeah. Well, get ahead of us. That might be coming up. Yeah. But it didn't advance, though, right? No, it advanced. It just can't use a gun the next round. No, the cassowary is not. Yeah. Well, we said a turkey. But the fact that we're at the wrong animal, I think we could talk about it again. Yeah. Because, yeah, so we were having the baboons.

They all got kicked out. But this cassowary, I don't know, man. Like, now it's like they can't fly, so it's going to be. That looked pretty intense. They look intense. Like it's just like, yeah, what's a fascinating fact about them? Don't go look through real information. I don't ever.

You go to Wikipedia. That's the difference of college and not college. You go to Wikipedia, and I just go, do the five facts that someone has fun. I mean, the fact that they can kick like that, they seem to just come in on you like they're kicking in a door. But baboons are pretty tough, too. We watched some baboon videos last week. They're scary.

They mostly eat fruit. Yeah. They got some big legs, man. They have big claws, too. They're powerful i mean look i mean look at those legs dude yeah that's crazy that's crazy how tall are they this is like a dinosaur uh that's probably the bones they found thinking they found a rat three and a half feet long and uh height is around 39 to 53 inches, why wouldn't you use the feet for the height?

Yeah. Like who goes, all right, three feet long, 50 inches tall. Well, just do the feet for the height too. Yeah. You're already showing me you can do feet. Four and a half feet. All right. They're part of the same order as Emu.

Okay. So they're relatives. Four and a half feet i mean they can they can run 30 miles an hour i'm just gonna say if they're in the emu family and emu has taken a tiger or whatever this thing's taken but the emu had a gun get a ride dusty yeah don't be ridiculous what's the matter i know uh yeah the cassowary it's five feet tall dude that's pretty i'm liking this thing yeah yeah yeah so i uh it's also ugly like it's a very ugly animal and i think it's just got a little bit of a chip on it's just mean dude oh can we see this doesn't care it just doesn't care the cassowary smaller than an emu but bigger than a ray bigger than a kiwi bigger than a look at it compared to that dude, though. Like, pretty close to. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But it's just the average guy right now. I mean, an emu and osprey would be a good battle. Are they going to be who fights next? They might match. I mean, they're both on the east side of the bracket. Yeah, I don't think they're the next round, though. No. It looks like they're fighting a whale the next round. That's going to be complicated.

That's going to be complicated that's gonna be complicated it's uh yeah i would oh do the emu versus the cassowary oh well like there's a right there look around yeah yeah that's it yeah the key differences uh okay and then like what's the differences of comparing them yeah that's a cassowary have a lot of inches, a lot of inches, dude. Why do people do height in inches? Like, no one, when you read stuff, people always just put inches. You're like, dude, just tell me the height. Yeah.

Seems like there's a range there. That's the height, too. I know, but can you just go, what's 75 inches? How tall is that? Yeah, 75 divided by 12. Five feet? Yeah. I mean, that's a...

But if somebody asked you... I'd rather have the feet and the... That's what I mean. We're reading... I'm just reading a quick thing about it. Okay. If people are like, how tall are you? And you're like, 80 inches. It'd be frustrating. It'd be frustrating to go, okay, dude. It'd be like saying your age in months.

Yeah, it's frustrating. And that one guy that did it, I mean, clearly he shows he knows feet because he does, that's how long, I mean, who even cares how long it is?

There's never been, unless it's like a dinosaur or a whale, I want to know the length. Or a snake. But an, yeah, the snake, but like this bird, I never thought,

well, how long is it? I just want to know tall. Yeah. That guy that wrote that's being absurd. It weighs twice as much as an emu. Even though it's a little bit shorter, it weighs twice as much. And here's another big difference we talked about in the other matchups. The emu travels in pairs, and occasionally they group into flocks.

A cassowary, it's a lone wolf, dude. And it loves being alone. It's a solitary bird. It loves it. So it doesn't have a big fan section there. It's not like the baboon. It doesn't have a pack that it travels with. It's on its own.

It's got BOGO tickets. Can you scroll down? And it also lives in the rainforest. It says dense rainforest. That's hard to survive. Yeah. Yeah, so the size. Why are they?

They just told us the size. Let's tell you one more time. They're breaking it down a little bit more. Yeah, appearance, range. This is like which ones. Yeah, I mean, this thing is crazy, dude. So that's cassowary. Good animal.

I'm sorry we thought it was a turkey. Yeah, you know what? I'm sorry I was so sharp. You made it a lot funner. You know? Yeah, this thing, I think with the baboon, I mean, it's just. You don't say baboon? Baboon.

Baboon. I don't know if anybody does. Baboon. Baboon. Baboon. Yeah, I'm going cassowary. Yeah, I'm going cassowary. I'm going cassowary too.

Okay. I like it. It's very fun. All right. It's very fun. Thank you to everybody who corrected us. Yeah, y'all nailed it. It's very fun. All right. It's very fun. Thank you to everybody who corrected us. Yeah, y'all nailed it. Sorry about the turkey.

The baboons thought they... Baboon. But I think the cassowary, I mean, it's just we're learning so much about it that it's super fun. Do we need to do... Let's do another one. Right here, we've got a tarantula versus a scorpion. Now, this one's tough because...

Let's go up through this. Let's do some of these because we're kind of dragging this out. Okay. Let's do some. Let's get this. Let's see. Where are we at? So that side, first side's done.

Let's get this whole side done. Yeah, we got like four more matchups here. All right. So let's do a recap of this side. We had the emu with a gun taking the lion. We had the wolf beating the cheetah, which I still think is a mistake. The lion's been cheated the most out of this whole thing. Well, that's, I mean, he had a.

I know he had a gun, that's i think the emu should be disqualified and we said i'm saying we're frisking the emu right like he's not going to be allowed to bring it's not an issue from this point on it's not an issue we had no idea there was no sign that said no guns yes because we didn't think we had to have signs that said no guns right we thought that was understood yeah yeah. Yeah. But they... We didn't realize that the animal kingdom... The emu knew, I don't have a shot. And it hit a gun in its pocket. We would have stopped it if he obviously walked in with a gun.

But who knew that animals had pockets? Right. Pouches. Pouches. You don't think to fill for pouches. You don't. Kangaroo maybe we would have felt just because it's like your whole thing is a pouch. Your whole identity is a pouch.

We would have been like, what's in there? But the emu, we're like, I never even saw that coming. Yeah. I mean, honestly, I didn't even realize they had a pouch. And we apologize to the lion family. We go, I don't even know. They go, words can't even describe how sad we are about this. They're like, we are too.

We want our family to eat. So elephant versus a rhino this just seems like a big match-up that should have been later yeah you're right you're right but it's in but it makes it funner because it's going to be a match-up later that's going to be yeah the next round's gonna be ridiculous uh i'll tell you what my instinct is my instinct in this is that i i think an elephant uh in my mind, they're soft. Yeah. I think they're soft animals.

I don't know a whole lot. You can ride them. I don't know people riding rhinos. I've pet a rhino. You've pet one, but there's a difference between petting and riding around and making it work at a circus. So I think they're soft. That means they're smart. Elephants are smart

i don't think i don't think it has anything to do with i think the elephant beats the rhino elephants are mean yeah they're tough they're mean they may be soft but they're tough and this is an elephant that's out like this ain't your circus elephant this isn't it we got an elephant from it looks like an african elephant yeah as opposed to an asian elephant he's out there this bigger elephant. Yeah. Okay. It's so much bigger. Yeah.

Now, but I'll go with the rhino that I think rhino just goes and stabs its belly and it's in trouble. I mean, the rhino's perfect height. He just barely has to lift his head up, belly stabbed. But is the rhino sneaking up on the elephant or are they squaring off? I mean, they're squaring off, but I think at one point the rhino just kind of comes to the side and that belly elephant's belly is so big they both consented to the fight like yeah they're not sneaking up and he's the coliseum they come out opposite side that's why i think i don't think the rhino just gets a stab in there i think i mean yeah the rhino skin is so tough and that that that horn is a problem that horn is just man it's so tough, and that horn is a problem. That horn is just, man, it's right there, and he sharpened it. I think the elephant can wrap that little trunk around the horn

and pull that rhino down, stomp on it. I think this is surprising. An elephant is so much bigger than a rhino. I thought they were comparable in size, but an elephant grows up to 15,000 pounds, and a rhino is lucky if it gets to 8,000. It's embarrassing. So half the weight of an elephant. And also, if you're talking heights, elephants are 10 to 12 feet tall,

and a rhino is just a few feet. And that's the thing that horn is right with that. It's like a bag of water hanging. You just, a needle comes up. Talking about just getting the stomach hanging from the elephant? Yeah. If you can get under it. I mean, it's perfectly canned because it's going to be that height.

All you got to do is, I mean, it's like if you had a water balloon, and you just put a needle, and it just goes poof, and then he's done. Well, how strong is the stomach? Are we able to tell how strong the stomach is? I mean, I'm guessing it's a thick stomach. I bet it's a thick stomach, too, but rhinos are strong animals. I think the rhino's horn is just made of hair. Can you do a rhino versus elephant?

Yeah, we can. Yeah, I was just looking at it. I mean, that's cosmetic at best, I think. No, I think that that's- No, no, that's the real deal. I've touched one. It's the real deal. You touched the horn?

Yeah, yeah. That's why they're getting killed all over the world. People are trying to get that. Yeah. And elephants are trying to get that tusk. Their tusk, though, is as strong as the horn. What do they want. You touch the horn? Yeah, yeah. That's why they're getting killed all over the world. People are trying to get that. Yeah. And elephants are trying to get that tusk. Their tusk, though, is as strong as the horn. What do they want to do with that horn?

They think it leads to either longer life or it's an aphrodisiac. It's all this mystical stuff, and they cut them off on purpose to keep people from killing them. Okay. Like nature preservers will cut off their tusk just to save the rhinos from poachers. Well, yeah, they should just cut them off if that's what they're seeking anyway. Just go ahead and cut those off. It's the same material as our fingernails. Oh, yeah.

Keratin. So it almost is like a girl fight almost. It's scratching them up. If it tooks AG1, though, those tusks are going to be down. That is true. That is true. They have bad vision. That's a knock against some of these rhinos

to not have good eyesight. They are unable to see a motionless person at a distance of 30 meters. So look, we're in the Roman Coliseum. Everybody knows this is where the fight is happening. How far is 30 meters? 30 meters. Let's just think of it as like 30 yards.

Okay. Close enough. Yeah. So the Roman think of it as like 30 yards. Okay. Close enough. Yeah. So the Roman Coliseum is bigger than that. The elephant can get far away and basically hide from this. And the elephants don't forget. They don't forget. I mean, how are you going to win hiding?

Well, he can just be outside of his range, and then he can't see him, so he just walks behind him, but they can smell. I don't know how good. I mean, there's a lot of competing scents. We're in a packed Roman Colosseum. Yeah, and it's animals watching. And there's animals everywhere, dude. It's almost like a keen sense of smell would almost work against you.

Yeah. You're just overloaded. Feathers all over the place. Yeah, he just goes, I don't know. They go, what happened? In the post-interview, they go, what happened? He goes, I was smelling an ostrich. I was looking for an ostrich the whole time.

I had no idea I was fighting an elephant. I walked in. I smelled ostrich so hard that I go, I'm fighting an ostrich, and this elephant came behind me. Never smelled him. And crushed me. Yeah. It was bad.

It was bad. In a rhino, they make an array of funny noises when they're communicating. During confrontations, they growl and they make trumpet calls. They snort when they're angry. And the rhino's family's in the crowd. We didn't get them the best seats. They can't even see. After the rhino loses, they stay, and they're like, is everything good?

We got to go tell them. You go, no, you didn't watch what happened. And they go, and that's when we find out. They go, I can only see to about the third row. So they were just watching the third row. And they go, we just saw those people's reaction. We saw baboons leaving. Yeah.

Oh, man. So this is an interesting matchup. I think the elephant, by all the metrics we've talked about the elephant has the advantage i just don't think elephants are as uh violent i think they're very violent i saw an elephant attacking a van yeah in a video the other they're very territorial shatter the window they're defensive but yeah but think a rhino is scrappy. It's going out. It's starting stuff. But it's like there's just too much stuff, I think. Was there no elephant versus rhino?

There is. I think elephant. So here's what I think. Yeah, so let's do an answer that we can say. I think elephant wins this. I think so. I think elephant, elephant. Yes, elephant. You're done.

So let's see. Now you can type in elephant versus rhino. Especially the weight advantage. I mean, it's just twice the weight. It's so twice the weight. Twice the height, twice the weight. No matter how scrappy you are. It remembers everything.

Yeah, I mean, that's... Any move he makes, the rhino is like, well, his one fake out, well, the elephant remembers it. Yeah. He goes, no, that's what you do. This a match-up that uh unlike some of the others this is there's probably this has happened in the real world at some point for the most part when they're not in the roman coliseum they kind of respect each other's privacy the consensus here seems to be that the sheer size of the elephant is going to put it over the edge the rhino is uh faster than the elephant but

it's just if they're going at it the elephant's going to take it yeah that's what people think yeah that's what's a shame because the rhino could beat almost every other animal i know i know but tough draw those are the cars it's a tough draw yeah it's a tough draw. Needed a better seed. Yeah. All right. What's next? We got a moose versus a black bear. Is that a black bear or a grizzly bear? It looks big. We've already done grizzly. We've already done grizzly bear, so this must be another kind of.

Yeah. Is that a brown? Yeah. All right. So hay bear. Yeah. I think you got it. You want to be biased.

But a moose is a nightmare. Yeah. A nightmare. It's putting up a fight for sure. The weight difference is, I think a moose is, a moose is so big. Yeah. They're so big. I mean, people die, you hit them with the car and when you go drive in Maine and all this, they get moosed.

You have to really be careful because if you, at night you hit a moose you would take its leg out and if its body falls into the car you're just all dead because that's how much the moose weighs i think black bears are nothing like grizzly bears yeah i i do too and we're we're we're bear friendly this podcast we're pro bear pro bear podcast yeah but i i in uh but i i i could i could go a grizzly bear i don't think so but are we black bear black bears don't want to are we in the coliseum is there anything that this bear can climb does he have any he's probably got some trees you know we set up some uh stuff for it right you know we've got a wide range of like topographical stuff going on in on the floor of the coliseum we've got we've got like a beach we got water we got trees

okay a little bit of a mountain range on there yeah something for everybody so it could go into a tree come down on the moose it could but a moose i mean i think you know the the dude that if this is alaskan adult moose, like let's see, how big? I don't know. They go 1,100 pounds. Their maximum spread greater than 200 centimeters. What does that mean?

79 inches. So this is bigger than a cow. Just why would you put 200 centimeters? Just do, what is 79 inches? Five feet? Just say feet. We're all doing our own size. Anytime you're reading something, everybody just goes, I can go off.

You're just making me do the math in my head, right? Making me convert it. Yeah, you're like, just be staying almost six feet tall. What's 70 inches? Five, six feet? So the width of their thing is five feet? At the shoulder, it's six feet. Wow, that's huge.

Yeah, and they weigh between 1,200 and 1,600 six feet wow that's huge yeah and they weigh 1200 between 1200 and 1600 pounds so that's it's pretty big a black bear they don't even get that big i just like it's the smallest bear a black bear will weigh that's the image the guy used yeah a black bear will weigh 125 to 500 pounds so it's a runt i that, I mean. That's the same range for humans, basically. It's like. Same range for this room. Yeah, I mean, it weighs 2,000 pounds. It's so much, it's just so much bigger.

I mean, it would throw it around. But the difference in the bear, like say the elephant rhino versus moose and bears, the bear still has the claws, you know, and it's got more mobility than a rhino does. So if the moose charges, misses, the bear can claw it up. Yeah. I think moose are very mean. Yeah, let's see a photo. And it's just moose are very mean. Yeah, let's see a photo.

It's just – look at – they're so big. They're massive, but they move pretty slowly. But not in a fight. Right now. I mean, it would take – I mean, so bears – do bears – I don't know if they could eat a moose. That bear's tearing that moose up right now. I think they do. I think they eat baby moose. I don't think they eat a real moose.

An adult moose. Okay, now they're getting after it. All right, he got into gear. But they're just kind of locking horns. This is kind of like... But these horns can tear you apart. This is like two guys at a bar going, you do something. Oh, hit me, bro.

Hit me, bro. That's what it feels like right now. There was a video going around with a moose. It had a moose had like killed another moose and the antlers and skull was still attached to his antlers just walking around with it yeah i mean that's crazy yeah i i think it's a moose i think they're so big and then they outweigh them so your biggest black bear is 500 pounds and then your biggest. But how is it, how, how is it killing the bear? It's just flicking it with it.

It's going to stab it with its horns there. I mean, like. It has a gun. It has, no, no, it's going to, it's going to stab it with its horns there and just the sheer, and then stop it. And then like, it's just overwhelming power. It's 2000 pounds over 500 pounds of just like like if you swing a head around on a 2 000 pound thing it's going to just make the 500 pound thing fly dude they have weight classes for a reason

because they're just it's just two different things and those are like hey i mean those are just knives on like he's just like swinging and hitting it concussion i mean you're just you're just it's like a rag doll dude you're just throwing the bear around. Look, I would give it to a grizzly. But I think a black bear is, they're curious. They're not, they don't come from a grizzly bear. Like, this is what the grizzly bear wants. He wants to fight this moose. But even looking at these moose fight right now,

it seems like the moose will lock up for a minute, and then they'll go, all right, all right, all right, hold on, hold on. And then they back up, they take a breather. Yeah. And then the end. Like, I was running away. Yeah, the moose is like, yeah, I'm going to get this, dude. Too all right, all right. Hold on. Hold on. And then they back up. They take a breather. Yeah. And then the end. The guy's running away. Yeah, the moose is like, yeah, I'll get this, dude. Well, then he runs away because it's like too much.

I'm gone. Moose, they're just so much bigger. We just talked about the weight difference of the elephant. And I think you got to – and you're even – you got more so kind of – Well, it's more than – It's triple its weight, right? Very fast. Quadruple its weight.

500 to 2,000. Yeah. And we just did the moose, which was double. I mean, the elephant and rhino is double. This is three times or four times? Which, what would you say in that scenario? 2,000 to 500. More than three times as big.

More than three times as big. But the bear is mobile, though. I mean, it can really claw it out. It can, but I mean, that's going to be hard to get through that body. A body like that's a lot of body. It's not like, you know. I would vote moose. Yeah, I think I'm going moose, too.

We've got two bears over here. All right. Well, you know what? I mean, it's tough to say. It was a tough one. I'll go moose. If y'all go moose. Oh, okay. I'll type in, if y'all go Moose oh okay type in

now type in a Moose versus a Bear now there are a lot of Moose versus Grizzly Bear matchups but the Black Bears and Moose

live in two completely different parts of the country so this doesn't happen what about the Grizzly Bear this probably happens all the time I don't think

it says a Grizzly Bear would have the easiest time killing a Moose This probably happens all the time. I don't think there's anything... It says a grizzly bear would have the easiest time killing a moose. They track them down. They kill them. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think it's not... There's not even a debate if we're talking grizzly bears.

But how... Yeah. No, no. I don't... Yeah. But a grizzly bear is so big. Right. Right.

Yeah. All right. I'm fine with moose. we we're very pro bear we but we don't need to be too biased but we didn't pick the polar bear well oh we did but you did you were against you picked the tiger yeah yeah but we but we did polar bear yeah we yeah we looked over and made it through but uh yeah i just saw when we went to the zoo at Hershey. Hershey has a zoo, too. Wow.

Yeah. And they had a size of, yeah. They had like a size of, they had the different sizes. The polar bear is so big. Yeah. It's nine feet tall. I mean, it's just gigantic, you know. So I get why people were against that.

Yeah. You know, but. I think we're just. All right. Let's go on to a, is it a tarantula versus a scorpion? I'm going scorpion straight up. This is a tough one to watch. Especially for the rhino family.

Oh, the rhino family. They told, I mean, they told them they win. They go go get. They still don't know that the rhino family they told i mean they told them they went they go go get they still don't know that the rhino's gone their son is they're still waiting for the fight to start and they're at concessions now and they've been there for a while and they have to really wait till they get up to the front of the line they you know most people like get your order kind of before you get to the front of line the rhino. They're getting a paper menu at the register. There you go. We're no when we get – we have to wait until we get there to buy the concessions.

Which the Rhino, what do you think they're – they're probably getting a lot of – They're getting a lot of popcorn, I would say. I feel like they're – I think they're big eaters, but I think they're like a diet soda drinking group. But I think they eat where you go, well, you're kind of canceling out the food. Yeah, just get a regular Coke. Just get a regular Coke. But they specifically say, no, no, no, we drink diet.

It makes them feel better. I like to drink my calories. I don't drink my calories. But they have, I mean, just buckets of popcorn. And when they come back to the seats, it's a whole thing. Like it's, oh, like everybody's got to get up. Giraffes are like trying to stand kind of to the seats. It's a whole thing. Like, it's, ugh. Like, everybody's got to get up. Giraffes are, like, trying to stand kind of to the side. And it's just, boom.

It's just knocking people over. They're winded. They got a lot of beer. Yeah. Yeah, people. Some fights are about to start happening. In the stands. In the stands.

Yeah. Because people are just like, this is crazy. Probably not cotton candy, though, because the horn would kind of. No, I think they get cotton candy wrapped around. Yeah, but they put it around the horn. I think they go, just throw it around my horn. Oh, this is crazy. Probably not cotton candy, though, because the horn would kind of... No, I think they get cotton candy wrapped around. Yeah, but they put it around the horn. I think they go, just throw it around my horn. Oh, they like it. Okay.

Oh, yeah. They share it with each other. They eat it off each other's horns. Yeah, the kids. I mean, that's the best part is the kids. I mean, they all walk through with cotton candy around the horn. That was being ridiculous. So then some people...

I'm sorry. What are you talking about? I apologize. That was dumb of me. That's the most obvious thing they have. Yeah, you're right. Because they go, do you want a stick? They go, we got our own stick.

Yeah. And then they just, they put their horn in there. They even bargain and say, we should actually get a little money back because we're not making you use a stick. The people behind them are pretty upset. Right. Because it's like, you just let them stick their horn in there. Yeah. You got to slide a corn dog on top of that thing, too.

Yeah. Yeah, they come back with stuff all on their, you know. And you got to eat it off the other person's. Yeah, right. Because they can't reach it. Yeah. So you take a couple bites, they can take a couple bites. They're taking up a bunch of seats.

And it's like one of those you go, I think if you're a smaller animal, you see them sitting in your seats a smaller animal, you just, you see that, you see them sitting in your seats, rhinos, you just kind of go. No, I'm moving.

You just, you got to move. You got to go kind of go to the top. There's some empty spots up at the top. You want to go walk around the boat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. The baboons caused a big problem. They've been kicked out. So there's just a giant baboon section that's just wide open. Because they, I mean, the baboons were all sitting together, but we had to get them out. Yeah. There's just a giant baboon section that's just wide open. Baboon.

The baboons were all sitting together, but we had to get them out immediately. Yeah. Like, they are just, they've been a problem the whole time. They're a wild crew. Yeah, yeah. Win or lose, they're a wild crew. Win or lose. Yeah. You just don't, you can't really have them there.

The celebrations, you can't tell if they're mad or excited. I mean, they're in the parking lot wrecking cars right now. We're hearing car alarms go off left and right. And so then we're also kind of like trying to get them back of that. You know, it's trouble. So, for this fight, Trance the Scorpion, no one even really cares about this fight.

Because it's just like, everybody's kind of laughing. It's a possible watch in the Roman Coast. We have cameras on them. Jumbotron. They let them out of little jars. They let them out of little jars. They let them out of little jars. And we made a mistake. At first, we let them too far apart. It was the fight.

First four hours with them even, they were making their way towards them. And the whole time we had discussions of going, I think we got to put them kind of on top of each other. Because these two things were trying to find each other. You got to poke them with a stick a little bit. Oh, yeah. And we were doing that, but it's just they're too, they're walking too far. Yeah.

And people go, come on. This is ridiculous. And we go, that's all part of it. We're trying to be, you know, organic here. Yeah. We're going. Sponsors are dropping off. Yeah.

I mean, what are we doing? Yeah. We'll be here for a month waiting for them to try to find each other. And we go, all right, all right, you made good points. So we go in, we get glasses, we get them up. We're walking them closer with glasses. People are finally like, hey. People are cheering that on.

So then we let them out of the glasses, and the transfer goes out. Scorpion goes out, hits one of the guys with the glasses. That guy goes down. No one saw that coming. No one saw that coming at all. We get the stretcher out there, and he's like can't move. It's pretty crazy. But weirdly, people are excited about it.

Oh, yeah. Well, they think that's part of it. Something's happening. That's part of it. Yeah. And the Scorpion, I'll be honest with you, he gets a big head. Gets a big head because now he's got people cheering for him. But he's used kind of all his stuff, you know, in the person.

And the tarantula broke his stinger off. Yeah, broke his stinger off. He's got a finite amount of venom. Is that right? I mean, there must be. You can't have infinite amount of. Yeah. We don't know if that's right or wrong, but I like to picture it.

Does the tarantula even have venom? Yeah. Well, this is part of the problem with this matchup. There are so many different types of spiders and so many different types of scorpions. Who knows? Let's just assume the most dangerous of each. Well, then it's spider all day.

That looks like a tarantula, but it's a spider all day. But there are different types of tarantulas. Yeah, it doesn't help that in this fight, one guy's holding one versus the other one. They won't even pick that one up. They won't even pick the scorpion up. But in this picture, it's like, what is this fault? It's like my pet versus this dangerous insect from the beach.

Yeah. Or desert, I guess, probably. I think a tarantula could be so much bigger than a scorpion, too, and it's got just eight things, and it's going to just get it. Yeah, I mean, look how big it is, dude. There's a lot of tarantula versus scorpions. This is for real, them fighting? This is for real, yeah.

There's a little roach in there too. Oh, wow. He's kind of hanging out. I think he's dead. Oh, wow fighting? This is for real, yeah. There's a little roach in there, too. Oh, wow. He's kind of hanging out. I think he's dead. The roach is kind of non-factory. We're seeing a real fight here. Yeah, this feels... I don't like this.

Yeah. I don't like this either. Yeah. I don't... Well, then it's shooting, it's holding its thing, and then... Well, this is exactly what we talked about. This, I mean, this is what, this is in their Roman Colosseum. They're holding hands.

Yeah. This is eventually what we would have to do. They're on a date, actually. You have to put them in this small of a... Yeah. And the scorpion just wants out. I forgot about its clippers. It's got...

That's pretty good. Yeah. Can you fast forward it? I don't know if you need to watch the... Yeah. It's eight minutes long. You want to watch another seven minutes of this? Yeah.

So now it's got the food. Now the bugs are gone. Now it's eating the bug. That was the whole point. Yeah, gosh. So you keep going. Trinches are big, dude. Oh, now they're really going.

Oh, man. Now they're really going. This might end up being the most exciting fight of all of them. Yeah, this is like the undercard. This is like a UFC fight, like the first one on the main card that you think, I ain't watching it, and then it's unbelievable. And you go, wow. And who wins?

Why would they even do this? You know, it looks like... I don't know. I think the Tarantula won. It said a draw? No, I'm just saying if they're both... I think the Tarantula won. I think the Tarantula won. So, I mean, this one we're kind of cheating and we kind of fast forward to... We actually watched a video of it.

But we're going to say the tarantula. I mean, Scorpion's having trouble, dude. I was going to say Scorpion, but I do think in the end the tarantula is – especially since the Scorpion wastes its stinger on a guy. Scorpion is trained in a mostly offensive aggressive – so the Scorpion did train, but the tarantula trained also. Yeah, yeah. The tarantula uses its threatening posture

in which he raises his front appendages and exposes his fangs. He's got a couple of legs with no claws or no pinchers on there, though. This is going to leave, as a lot of people are going to say, that was my favorite fight. I mean, it took a while to get the fight set up right but once they got it set up man it was a good fight what i don't understand is how the scorpion doesn't just pin the tarantula down with its pinchers and then just stab it a bunch yeah but this tarantula does have fangs and then it's got it just can hold you from so many like the scorpion but it's like what are you going to pin down it's one leg and then it's got seven

more legs kind of like sticks whereas the scorpion has real pinchers yeah but it's like a grappler like it's going to just be able to get it could it could use your legs to hold down the pinchers it's like the thing that you get the stuffed animal out of them like it's like it'll pick it up but it'll drop it really yeah yeah it's just it yeah it is the way you you get the stuffed animal out of the machine. Like it's like, it'll pick it up, but it'll drop it real easy too. Yeah, yeah. It's just, yeah. The way it can stand, the scorpion's really kind of flat to the ground, can't really get up.

It's got its scorpion thing, but again, it did get the person that was dropping the cup, the glass down. So this was a great fight. This is a fight a lot of people, we are definitely selling some merch of the scorpion and the tarantula. And people are really leaving going, what a fight. That was a truly amazing fight. And then, you know, and so we're going.

How long has this tournament lasted? This has got to be. Two years. Yes, like the Olympics. They basically all live there now. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they basically, we let animals live there. They've taken over.

You'd hate to find either one of those in your yard, but you wouldn't if you use Sunday. Oh, I'll tell you. I mean, it's time to reclaim your weekend. Sunday lawn care can take one thing off your to-do list. Instead of spending time working on your yard, with Sunday you can spend time enjoying it. Sunday is everything you need to get the lawn you've dreamed of.

This spring, go to getsunday.com slash nate and enter your address to get a customized plan created just for your lawn. No trips to the store or hauling heavy bags. That just becomes Nate Land. Everything just biting each other. Look, have people submitted other brackets of stuff? They have. Now, a lot of them are just their paper where we would have to literally go in and write

in the names, where this is just you click on a box and it advances for you yeah but there's a lot of different options on this bracket fight oh yeah of categories oh like you this is a this is a thing this is a whole thing there's someone send this to us or we just picked it somebody sent it to someone sent it to us oh did they make it up i don't think they did i think they just found it and said, hey, this would be fun. They didn't think we'd rededicate our lives to it, but we did. They regret sending it to us. Yeah, if people would send, yeah, the bracket.

So is that round done? No, no, no. There was one more left. There was more left. But yeah, like I said, I think when we sent it. Two more left. Bracket fight, there was one just for comedians. Not fighting each other, but best comedians.

Okay. So there's a lot of different, there's McDonald's. Best McDonald's menu items. Yeah. Okay. I mean, there's a lot of fun stuff to do. It's Big Mac. It's Big Mac all the way.

I think we could wrap that other side up. Put Big Mac as a champion and then you can have fun and do the rest. I think there's just one left. I think we could wrap that up. Yeah. I would honestly be Big Mac is the champion and and then you can have fun and do the rest. I think there's just one left. I think we can wrap that up. Yeah. I would honestly be Big Mac is the champion, and then you can have a conversation about how you build out from there. I would agree.

But I would go Big Mac champion. Agreed. And I know. Dusty. I'm sorry. Dusty was on his podcast the other day. He was like, you know, the one thing that we just can't all agree on in the podcast is our love for

McDonald's. And I'm like, Dusty believes the CIA planted dinosaur bones, but that's the one thing that we all can't get on board with? Well, I just was saying that it just seems like everybody here really loves McDonald's. And you don't. And I don't. But you guys love it. Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm not claiming that I think it's the healthiest food. I'm just saying it tastes good. Yeah, I mean, you enjoy it.

Yeah. I don't enjoy it. What's your fast food? I don't really have one, I guess. You've got Chick-fil-A together. Chick-fil-A I like. I like a Hardee's breakfast. I'm in for breakfast.

You look like that. Yeah. You look, I mean. Yeah, I grew up on a Hardee's. Yeah, Hardee's is good. That or you like a Pilot's gas station. Yeah. in for breakfast you look like that yeah you look i mean yeah i grew up on a hardy's yeah hardy's good that or you like a pilot's gas station yeah you like to eat in the pilot you know i had a hot dog from the uh like an all beef hot dog from loves from loves one day and i was like wow that is really good and i felt bad for two days but it was delicious worth it no but i

wouldn't i have not done it since. At the time, I thought, why have I not been eating these? This is so good. And then I had like a real aggressive heartburn that you could taste the hot dog for several days. Yeah. That I was like, okay, that's why I've not been eating it. I mean, it smells good, though. I love to see it on that roller.

You know what I mean? That hot roller. I used to get the 7- roller. You know what I mean? That hot roller. I used to get the 7-Eleven had those taquitos or something. Oh, they still got those. Those are great, man. They got the buffalo chicken ones, too, that are great. And then they got the breakfast ones where it's like a McGriddle, but in the shape of a hot dog.

Sausage in the middle. They're doing big things over there. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings last night. Met some fans or some folks there and they did after the show

but they had a buffalo chicken wrap and it was so good. That's great, isn't it? It's so good. Yeah. Yeah.

You can't get a wrap from a gas station like that. I've noticed wraps don't travel well because they get soggy. Yeah. You need a wrap right when they make it yeah you gotta get a fresh wrap you gotta get a fresh wrap all right go back to

this bracket you gotta get serious guys mcdonald's one no no no the especially especially we still got a couple more to go buffalo chicken wrap especially it'll get soggy on you quick. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's wet. So, tarantula mood forward. Hippo versus a dolphin. Now, we've talked about this multiple times on the podcast. A hippopotamus is one of the most deadly animals in the world. Yeah. Kills a ton of people a year.

I think second only to the mosquito. So, it's like a problem. I don't think the dolphin stands a chance. I don't think the dolphin. No, I think second only to the mosquito. So it's like a problem. I don't think the dolphin stands a chance. I don't think the dolphin's dancing around. It's good for nothing. It's a show. It's communicating with people. I think a dolphin, I mean, I think it gets a couple hits in,

but then it's just like. It's a bloodbath. Ultimately the hippo. No, I think it. Yeah, I do think it's that. I'd be like, so say it's five rounds. You're like, oh, wow. The dolphin came out in the first round.

You're like – you'd be like, who do you give it to? You're like, maybe the hippo, but I could see – I could be talked into the dolphin. And then from there on out, it's just over. But the first round, you're like, ah, that dolphin kind of came out. Because he knows he has to come out and just go nuts. I think the hippo's like, oh, this is great. I always wanted to eat a dolphin.

I've just never had the opportunity. Yeah, it's easy. And I would say you go ahead and move that hippo past that tarantula. I think that... Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm fine moving this one because what I'm...

Let's move the hippo. I think the hippo dolphin, I think that that's such – I think that's the first time people start questioning the ethics of this whole thing. Yes. Is how bad it beats that dolphin. Yeah. And they're like, ooh, this is like questionable. They go, well, it's all other animals.

They love it. You know. But yeah. So the hippo with the tarantula, why i say i'm fine moving it is i think the we've all we love the tarantula we love the scorpion too yeah but everybody loves the tarantula i don't think we make them fight because we end up everybody's like no and the tarantula is like that fight was so good you did your thing you don't deserve deserve. The hippo, you know, and you could probably say the hippo still tries to fight it. And then I think the hippo does end up getting into some tarantulas in the back.

And that's a- Just like a little snack. I'll be honest. We try to keep it under wraps because we, you know, this one tarantula and then tarantula starts saying stuff. It's in the news. You're going, well, they didn't stop the hippo back, you know, and we're like, the hippo had nothing to do. But, you know, we try to keep it a little- But the hipp he's going well they didn't stop the hippo back you know and we're like the hippo had nothing to do like but you know we try to keep it little but the hippo's a lunatic but he's a draw like the hippo's a draw oh totally but he's a lunatic rumor has it that hippo ate

the tarantula before the dolphin fight just for a little protein yeah he did not realize it was a and that's when a lot of people are saying and then we said we the tarantula that we have out there a lot of people don't think it was the one that beat the that's when a lot of people were saying, and then we said, the trencher that we have out there, a lot of people don't think it was the one that beat the scorpion. So a lot of people are like, that's not the same one. We're like, look at it, dude. It's the same one. And that's a big, that's how we create a dusty section, is there's a

dusty section. Which would, what animal would be a conspiracy, you know, that's kind of always like, I don't know. I think an owl, because it's always looking around. yeah yeah now it's a good one for sure so uh uh an owl there's an owl section that's dusty that they're like that's that's not the same tarantula and they're like we know we eat yeah i have good eyes yeah and they have great eyesight and they're like an owl or a hawk. Yeah. The rhino's like, don't ask me, dude.

I can't see. I'm not even sure where we're at. Yeah, the rhino still does not know about his family member that's gone. Because they're not just – they're just – they go, no, we're waiting for that fight to start. They're still looking for their seats because they go. And every time they go go the usher is like you're not even remotely near your seat yeah you're like he's like you've already been through here yeah one time he goes i don't know how to tell you this y'all keep coming back to the same

area and you can't image truly they can't see and so they're just kind of in a loop yeah yeah all right what we got here this is the last match up of the first round we've got uh this is an aquatic matchup so as you already know we've talked about the the roman coliseum is designed for aquatic handle this to exactly very clear water yeah very clear water right so that everyone can see what's everybody can see and i think it's got to be pretty shallow too just so that they can like, they're going to have to meet up. Yeah. It's going to be, let's say, 15 feet deep.

These things are so big. They're big, right? That they're going to meet up. Yeah. You're right. It can be deep, but it's- I thought of it like SeaWorld, where you just got to look in the glass. It's like SeaWorld.

Oh, wow. Okay, so you're getting eye level with this thing. Eye level. That's pretty exciting. Yeah. I don't know exactly which type of whales these are. Looks like a beluga whale. It looks a little bit like a beluga whale up there at the top.

I was just looking at pictures for reference. Yeah. And then a blue whale? Potentially. Oh, a humpback whale. Yeah, that's what I think. A humpback whale versus a beluga whale? Yeah.

Now, we're probably going to learn from the from the listeners these these aren't even whales that would be very good that's an ostrich yeah that's an electric eel uh yeah it could be you can see it's electric Okay. Is that a toenail? Yeah. How big is a beluga whale? A beluga whale, pretty big. Wow. But they lived 35 to 50 years. I know that's not what you asked, but it is a male.

It can be 2,400 and 3,500 pounds. Wow. It's big. And then five feet long. I mean, look, at birth, they're five feet long. As an adult, they're 11 to 15 feet long. Yeah. So bigger than that python that you swam with. Yeah.

It's pretty crazy. Yeah, and it weighs as much as it weighs. Now, a blue whale is the biggest animal ever. It's literally the biggest animal of all time. Yeah. Bigger than any dinosaur. But I thought you said that wasn't a blue whale. Oh, I thought we just agreed to pretend it wasn't.

Oh, okay. Yeah, maybe that looks like a humpback. Okay. I did say blue whale, but then when you pulled up that humpback, I was like, well, it does kind of look like that. But I guess whales. Yeah, I feel like its mouth is on the top. You know what I mean?

Like a humpback's smile looks like a little bit higher. Yeah. Okay. So which one are we saying it is? How big is a humpback? Say humpback. Let's say it's a humpback whale. Let's look that up. Size, it's going to be, well, look how we saying it is? How big is a humpback? Say humpback. Let's say it's a humpback whale. Let's look that up.

Size, it's going to be, well, look how much bigger it is than an elephant. It's insane. And all that time we talked about how big elephants are, I mean, it just dwarfs an elephant in comparison. So humpback size. To a beluga size. 49 feet uh weight approximately 35 tons the females are bigger than the males so i said what is that 70 000 pounds i bet they hear about that yeah 70 000 pounds you know that's impressive how do you know that i think a ton is 2 000 pounds yeah yeah uh wow 49 feet

do that is a humpbacker and in blue well yeah are they about the same size or yeah the blue well is far larger than that wow oh my gosh so it's a blue well it's not even yeah but i mean here's here's a whale chart yeah Yeah, let's do, yeah, I like that. I like that. Yeah, let's pull the whale chart up here. We got the blue whale, 69 to 90 plus feet. Look at that little beluga down there. That little beluga looks like a runt.

I think either way, beluga's getting crushed here. I mean, if it's the blue whale. The beluga hopes it's a humpback. If it's the blue whale, it's impossible. Yeah. I mean, a finback, maybe it's a finback. That kind of looks like a… What's going on with that right whale?

Right whale's got some barnacles on it. I thought that was popcorn. The right whale, which I guess they just put on the right side of this chart. Yeah, there they go. He goes, the right well, which is 45 to six feet, unlike the left well, you're like, oh,

he missed weigh in. He missed weigh in and that's why, because he didn't get the barnacles off. Yeah. He couldn't cut all the barnacles off in time. So he missed the weigh in. This might be a sperm whale here in this bracket, the more I look at it.

Oh. Oh, yeah, you're right. That changes the whole thing. But I don't know if it does change it that much if the other competitor is still a blue whale, because it's still twice as big as a sperm whale. But if it's a humpback whale, let's say they get to their tallest, right? If we're just going to be like, everything's got to be the tallest. It's only 60 to 50 feet, a humpback and a sperm whale if it's the blue well it's 90 feet which is just

i mean ridiculous ridiculous but humpback whale is just 10 feet smaller and that 10 feet might be agility you know it's like this you might want to be smaller. It's quicker. Yeah. What's the weight difference of a sperm and a humpback? Uh-huh. So are we just saying it's a sperm and a humpback? Yeah. Okay. Okay.

Yeah. I mean, if it's a blue whale, it's crazy. If it's a blue whale, it's winning the whole tournament. Yeah. Tooth. Oh, they have teeth. Yeah. Yeah. They physically mature at about 49 to 52 feet.

Weight is, I guess they're a little shy about their weight. They don't want to give them. They're all female? Yeah. They kind of sell sperm whale to throw you off. 90,000 pounds. The biggest animal in the sea. Doesn't have to be. Yeah, that's...

George says... The marine biologist. The whale is the biggest mammal. Is it a mammal? Yeah, it's a mammal. Biggest mammal in the sea. But as George says, it doesn't have to be. I think we go sperm whale.

I think we go sperm whale too. It's 40 metric tons. I mean, it's 90,000 pounds it's the largest toothed predator on earth I think it bites this thing up

and like you said I think it's more agile than the blue whale yeah no I would well it was oh over the oh we're going

the other thing is the blue whale the biggest one that's what I thought okay I said humpback but if I go blue whale I mean it's 90

it's 30 feet smaller but I will say the tooth is giant Okay. I said humpback, but if I go blue whale, it's 90, it's 30 feet smaller. But I will say the tooth is giant. So we're going blue whale? We're saying it's a blue whale? I guess we're saying it's a blue whale. So now it's a sperm whale versus a blue whale. It's going to be exhausted.

But it's, yeah, it's maybe hard for the, but they're in the water. They've got more movement. Maybe it's hard for it to find it. And the teeth, dude, the fact that it has, but it says that. On this chart, it says the sperm whale has knuckles. Oh, yeah. It's just got too much. It's got like weapons.

Like it's walking in with, I mean. Nunchucks? Yeah. It's got weapons, dude. And this blue whale is... It's just like a big dope. Yeah, it doesn't even... So the blue whale has no teeth?

I guess not. I bet it does. Without us really looking into it, we would say no. So the blue whale has no teeth. Sperm whales, oh, they boast the largest brain on Earth. They have the largest brain. You can't even outsmart these things. I mean, it's, yeah, a blue whale's bigger and got

a smaller brain? This may be our only hippopotamus contender. This is a good hippo. I mean, is this who the hippo's fighting? That is tough. That might be coming up down the pike. Oh, that could possibly. It's got the cassowary.

Cassowaries are mean. Yeah, that's going to be a tough one. Yeah, I think it's sperm whale because it's, wow. Wow, what an upset. Yeah, that, you know. That was a wild ride.

So here what we got. So now we got the, what are we in the elite are we in the lead 8 or sweet 16 we're in the sweet 16 now

sweet 16 sweet 15 because we've already advanced the hippo hippo just goes through tarantulas through we still got some stuff going on

so let's go back let's just recap and then we'll finish up here you want to go out through the upcoming matchups upcoming matchups upcoming match we got piranha versus grizzly bear it might be we might uh i might go ahead in advance let's go ahead i mean that's like a no brainer yeah that's fun but i mean no one's

rooting for the piranha people don't like piranhas no no and people are people are happy for the piranha like they're they're going to those people like the puffer fish puffer fishes was nice but it's uh and a lot of people said there's a debate on that. I really pulled for it. But it's the grizzly bear. We moved it through. Upcoming matchups. I don't think there's any situation where a fish is beating a grizzly bear.

No. We'll see when it fights a whale. Python versus Komodo dragon. That's coming up. Eagle versus anteater. solid five polar bear versus a killer whale oh that's a good one there's probably videos of that happening in real life yeah we got an emu versus a wolf yeah that's a that i'll be honest with you that could be tougher than i like a wolf that's like a sheep wolf combo this. This emu. Wolf and lion. Wolf. I mean, honestly, this emu, and we'll think about it, over a wolf.

It's going to be tough. It's going to be tough. Unarmed, too. It's unarmed now. But, I mean, maybe the emu only needed the gun. The emu is smart and goes, I just got to get past that lion. And then I'm going to be. I can take a wolf.

Then we have some chances. And then we got the moose versus an elephant. That's a solid fight. We got the cat and then the cassowary versus the sperm whale. So a lot of interesting, interesting matchups coming here. And I'm really excited to get into it for sure. Thanks for following along. Yeah, yeah.

We'll do the cassowary and the sperm whale first just because I think that'll be a kind of quick and easy one. I don't want to move it forward yet, just so we can have a little conversation. Yeah, yeah. Think about it. Because we can think about it. It may not even be a cassowary. Yeah. They're right.

No, it was actually a turkey. But, yeah. It's going to be. Yeah, the emu might be sneaking through. I just don't think. Emu. I'm not going to let you bully me over the rest of this tournament. I'm going to stay my ground on stuff, dude.

Yeah, but I mean, I didn't bully you. The emu brought a gun. It's not Nate's fault. I had nothing to do with it, dude. The emu brought a gun. If you don't like it, search him better. Please convince me how an emu with a gun could beat a lion. I don't see how that's possible. Emu did beat a lion. Could not brought a gun. If you don't like it, search him better. Please convince me how an emu with a gun could beat a lion. I don't see how that's possible.

Emu did beat a lion. Could not beat a lion. I mean, could not beat a lion. I mean, you make that argument. I'm open to that argument. I know, I know, I know. It had a gun. Don't be ridiculous.

I didn't want it to bring the gun. I'm just saying I'm going to have a lot more conviction as we move on. The zebras were upset. We had the zebras as the refs. They were upset, but they didn't think to frisk. Who knew they had a pouch? They don't even really have hands to be frisking, zebras. Yeah, so the frisking, I mean, look, these animals are all being frisked,

because now I'm being talked back into a gun. Animals are all being frisked, but zebras frisking, which it's a loose frisk. Let's say a gun might turn up later in this tournament. Don't be surprised. loose frisk yeah let's say a gun might turn up later in this tournament yeah let's just say surprised let's just say i mean just it'd be like imagine frisking someone with your head that's what a zebra is having to do so or hooves i don't even know if you really got feeling in those yeah yeah so let's just say there could be something could be yeah something could be happening this is there's so much corruption in this tournament. Oh, it's like boxing.

Yeah. It's like boxing. It's like FIFA or something. Yeah, it's like FIFA. There's a lot of corruption. But this is the World Championship, and this is what we are doing. This could be also Noah's Ark. This just happens in Noah's Ark.

It's a smaller ark, a limited space, so you've got to fight for your spot. Yeah. It started with more than two but that's all that was left yeah yeah

alright but next week we're doing robots next week we're doing robots we're gonna start off we're starting off with a little animal fight

alright the week after that we're doing robots no no I said we start animal fights and then we we'll get into robots okay

alright yeah you don't anticipate that happening well I mean we'll see we'll go through I think it's. Yeah. You don't anticipate that happening? Well, I mean, we'll see. We'll go through. I think it's going to move quicker now. I think so, too.

I think a lot of the tougher matchups were actually in the first round. I think now things are a lot more clear. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Where are you on? This weekend at Mic Drop Comedy Club in San Diego. My first time to San Diego.
