That's true. There's a lot of that. Yeah. Uh, so let's go. You, here we are.

You wear your decked out Nashville sounds. Yep. Double Aaron Bates. We had a little 4th of July gathering over our house and you guys left. Yep. And went to the, went to the, the game. Yep.

Aaron has a million hats that she's thrown. I don't know why I had to wear the sounds today, but yeah, I'm sorry. Well, it's good. Don't support. That's she's thrown. I don't know why I had to wear the sounds today, but yeah, I'm sorry. Well, it's good. Don't support. That's who was there.

Hey, you're on a team. We asked everybody that went to wear that hat. Aaron was a big help. Cause he helped me pick out this hat and the pro shop. And I didn't know hat size, any of that stuff, but I had a pro here with me.

Yeah. Could you have figured it out by just putting them on? Yeah, but we were on a time crunch so yeah i would have probably started at three and four eights or something i was like aaron what's give me a just a ballpark here yeah so did you name it right away could you look at his head and be like this what size you wear no i couldn't you have a deceptively big head you do you look like you're like a barely a seven but you're about a seven and five ace i think yeah yeah yeah it's bigger than it looks that is yeah it's like we really will you went with a six something first yeah and you go oh all right okay okay yeah all right yeah uh so yeah we came over here well first of all I stopped on the way here. I've been trying to pitch, but it always, Aaron and I drove all the way to his high

school in Hendersonville to practice and it rained us out. This is the most Brian thing ever. I go, let's go, let's go practice a little bit, maybe get some stuff on camera. That'll be funny. And it's just like a hundred year storm. And we show up, uh, we show up at the, the mound is covered with tarp and we're like this is i go i think your pitch is gonna get rained out yeah which it almost did it did rain on july 4th right there was a weather delay even during the game okay but i mean it's now day of and i've yet to

pitch on the way to your house um i stopped at a high school and the mound was covered but i went out there i had one baseball yeah it was the saddest thing was covered, but I went out there. I had one baseball. Yeah. It was the saddest thing you'd ever see. I'm out there throwing from the stretch. One baseball. I would throw it to no one. Then I'd go pick it up and walk back.

And people are walking past the high school and I'm out there shaking off signs. Yeah. And just throwing. I was so worried about it. I was so worried. That little boy out there, he's got a pretty big head. Yeah. That big little boy out there has a pretty big head. That big-headed boy out there is throwing to no one. And then I came over here and we practiced.

And you figured it out. We had some stuff to work out. I love that they looked and thought how sad it was, but also didn't come to help. They were like, look how sad that guy is. No, they walk faster. Let him be. Get on by. Came over here, practiced, and They were like, look how sad that guy is. No, they walk faster. Let him be. Let him be.

Get on by. Came over here, practiced, and got some stuff down. Yeah. And then went. I mean, you would just pitch and run and get the ball. How many times did you do that? Like 12. It's not hard to get a pack of balls out there.

Yeah, I mean, go. It was kind of a. Balls are tough to find. You'd be surprised. Baseballs? Baseballs are expensive, and they're tough to find like real ones like the ones you're going to throw at the actual yeah but i mean they're like 20 bucks it's like 20 for a baseball yeah it's 20 dollars not to throw one and go get it yourself i mean what's worth the money you know yeah time or money yeah time uh it was kind of a game time decision I just stopped on the way and stood on a mound a little bit.

I knew I was going to throw over here. Yeah, so you probably threw 40 or 50 times that day. How does your arm feel? Is it sore? It's good. It's good. But I'm going to kind of – once I get between the chalk and the lights are on, that's when I come alive.

Okay. So I didn't pitch that great over here. You documented it very clearly in that video you posted. Do you think you're the only player that's ever done a first pitch that right before threw to no one? Yes. Yeah. Not only that, Sounds gave me four tickets,

and I just assumed I'd take Aaron. Aaron bought tickets on his own. He didn't want to sit with me. Dusty couldn't make it. Up until almost game time, I was going to be sitting by myself at the game, which I might've been the first person in the history of baseball to throw out a first pitch, then sit alone.

Nobody there with you. Which is the corn dog. And kids are like, isn't that the old man that threw out the first pitch? Had the sounds known that, they might not have let you do it. Yeah. They're like, this guy's really alone. That's going to look bad for us.

Yeah. You know that sweet video of that kid that's bullied going around asking for a friend at neighbor's houses? I did see that. It's a very sweet video. I think he could have had someone to throw in too. Yeah, because he's a kid. All right.

I don't know if that's going to be too mean. I haven't seen that video. That's all I thought of. It's a very, bless his heart, it's a kid. All right. I don't know if that's going to be too mean. That's all I thought. It's a very, bless his heart, it's a wonderfully sweet, you know. But that's all I thought of. My favorite part of this pitch, Brian, and I was here, was, you know, they tell you when you walk out, they read a bio about you, and then at the end they say, let's see a strike,

and that's where you throw. And you decided earlier in the day you were going And then at the end, they say, let's see a strike. And that's where you throw. And you decided earlier in the day you were going to throw from the stretch, right? You weren't going to do a full windup. So you walked out there and you immediately got in the stretch. And they hadn't even started your biography yet. So you had to just hold in the stretch. We watched the video here. I mean, you walk out. They watched the video here. You walk out.

They're introducing you. Crowd's going wild. You immediately get... You're on the rubber right now, right? I wanted to be ready. You're looking at a rooster. You're still on the strap. This is a pitch clock violation.

Yeah. See, he stands a little to the outside. People are going to think that you're winded. I timed it at one point. I mean, that was 18 seconds. That was a very good throw. It was. It was a strike.

People don't think so because he dropped the ball, but he has this giant clown glove. Yeah. He dropped my ball, too. And my giant clown glove. Yeah. He dropped my ball too. And my fastball has so much movement on it. I get it. But if I throw a curve, it would just drop off the table. He wouldn't even lay a glove on it.

And how about not making a mockery of the pitch by using the mascot? Let's get a real catcher out here. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, squat down, dude. Frame it. Have you ever caught a ball before, Chicken? I was so mad at him. But then I was like, it's a dude in a giant rooster.

He can't even see. He's got a 51-year-old man out there shaking off signs while it's 100 degrees, and he's in a chicken costume. He's been in the stretch for 20 seconds. Yeah. That's a good pitch. But you sent me a little. I mean, the people behind that are watering the field,

I think they could have stopped for a second. I think so too. You know, at least, at least, I mean, there's a full on construction site going on behind you. Yeah. Yeah. I mean.

Yeah, they could have. But I played it up. I think it's a great pitch though. I mean, can you show the still photo? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you took a still of your video. Uh-huh.

Oh, yeah. Look at that. Wow. It's over the plate. Yeah. I think it's a great pitch. I think it's a very charitable angle of how we're looking at it. I thought it was a little low and outside, if I'm being honest.

It wasn't a bad pitch, but let's not act like this is a perfect strike. Well, that ball's getting hit for a home run. Well, that's not what we're even trying to do here. I'm just telling. It wasn't a bad pitch, but let's not act like this is a perfect strike. Well, that ball's getting hit for a home run. Well, that's not what we're even trying to do here. I'm just telling you, though. That's getting yanked. No, it was low and I painted the corner. I'm not going to throw it just right over the thing. Maybe if it's a left-handed batter, you got him.

But right-handed, it's getting out of the park. I wish they would have. Yeah, we should have seen the little digital box. The center field camera would have been nice. Yeah. I'm surprised they didn't do all that stuff for you.

For first pitches, they don't, you know, really dive in. Well, you just suggested a digital box. What? And then I say center field camera

and you act like I'm asking for too much. No, no, I was joking saying I'm surprised they didn't. act like I'm asking for too much. No, no. I was joking saying I'm surprised they didn't. Why would they do this for first pitches? Yeah, yeah. I think the point is we're analyzing this more than we probably should.

No, we're not analyzing it enough. It's not getting the hype it deserves because it was a good pitch. That's the truth. If you had messed up, it would be a viral clip. Well, this... Next time, aim for the rooster's face.

That's the way to go. The funny part is this is probably the last strike thrown for, you know, first four innings for the Sounds. Well, I was getting to. Then it was the most breakfast game ever. So then, first pitch of the game, the real first pitch, the guy hits it off the wall for a triple. And I'm joking, like, well, my first pitch was better than that.

Then it gets worse and worse and worse. The pitcher gets one out before he yanked. And the visiting team scored 10 runs in the first inning. Which I gotta think is Nashville Sound's record for most runs in the first inning. They lost 19-2.

Oh, wow. That one really set the tone. It's like, let's get Bates back out here. I know know One time my phone rang And it said unknown caller And I thought Are they calling me back in Like could it be

Yeah Is it How are the sounds doing this year They have a winning record Yeah And the Columbus team They're playing Has a losing record

But not on Not on breakfast night Columbus Georgia No Columbus Ohio Yeah Yeah I doubt Columbus Georgia Has a a team, do they?

Last week you were like, I'm in Albany, New York, not Albany, Georgia. You throw out. Listen, I grew up next to Georgia. I mean, I know all the cities. You think everything's Columbus. Yeah. Like everything's a Georgia town. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm going to Paris. You're like, Paris, Tennessee? You're like, no. Athens. Athens, Georgia? Athens, yeah. Rome?

Man, Georgia does. They got a lot They do Georgia's really got it going on Yeah They got all the names And none of the popular ones You know Rome

Well, like, you know, Rome Rome Rome's pretty popular What country is that in, though? Italy Italy, yeah Yeah, come on, you knew that Well, it just didn't sound yeah come on you knew that well it

just didn't sound right if you sat with that for a minute you'd have figured it rome italy didn't flow the way i wanted yeah it's so popular because you just use like paris france flows rome italy it doesn't sound like it has the flow uh georgia honestly has a better flow yeah it's probably more popular and then in your circles, I would definitely think. Yeah, yeah. In your circles, if somebody says, I'm going to Rome. Yeah, in Opelika, if you're like, I'm going to Rome, you're like, oh, yeah, that's a couple hour drive. Yeah, when in Rome.

It's probably the only place in the world where they have to go Italy, though. Right. I'm going to Rome, Italy. And you go, oh. There's probably like a little county section around that just does it. Every time someone from there goes to Italy, it's almost they go, I don't want to go. Because it's not worth the constant, we're going to Rome. You just don't tell people. I have an aunt lives in Rome.

No, no, no. I'm talking about the real Rome. Like in italy you don't imagine that happens a lot where they're like i'm going to rome today and they're like georgia yeah no probably doesn't happen i don't know if anyone's ever traveled from rome italy to rome georgia maybe that'd be interesting to see if they're hitting all the romes yeah roaming of the roams would be fun to go what's your favorite rome you know yeah roam around and find out your favorite room the rome rome yeah so if you live yeah you're a roman if you live in rome georgia yeah they have their own little coliseum i don't know paris tennessee has its own eiffel tower does it? I know Paris, Texas does. I just went out there to that.

There's a Rome, New York too. Oh, yeah. That's where Woodstock was, I think. Woodstock 99. There you go. You guys have some fun? A little quick trip? Yeah.

Go to Rome, New York, Rome, Georgia, Rome, Italy. Is that the only Rome's? Well, I think I can probably dig down and find other ones, but that's enough. That's enough. Too many, really. I don't know how much time we have to go down. So, awesome. Well, congrats.

It was fun. Thank you. Great pitch. Better pitch than mine. Yeah, they told me that. Yeah, I agree. It was better than mine. I was very happy because i was because because

when you guys left i was like you know let me know how it goes and you were like i will let you know and then i didn't hear from you for a long time i thought this must have went really bad yeah i would have told you right away it went really bad i would have sent everybody the video immediately aaron made a couple really funny videos. He's so good at doing all that stuff. Yeah. Making funny videos. Yeah.

Stand-ups. Yeah. Garbage, but... You're so good at... And funny videos. The amount of time you take to do a video

that you just text to other people is impressive. Hey, thanks, man. Yeah. You use your time wisely. Everybody's always said that. Up all night. Did you watch anything last night? No, thanks, man. Yeah. Use your time wisely. Everybody's always said that. Up all night.

Did you watch anything last night? No, no, no. I made a Bates video. It took about a three-hour chunk. How long does it take to make a video? That one probably

took a while. That one took about 20 minutes. Oh. The long one? The long, the hardest part of it was finding the right clip To splice in

But actually doing it I'm talking about the one you made of me throwing out the first pitch Oh that took a while It took a few hours But I like doing it He left immediately after He didn't even watch the game I got inspired

I saw it in my head He saw the vision I can't say that's not better time spent than watching them lose 19 to 2. Oh, yeah. You made the right choice. Yeah, it was definitely the right choice. Mm-hmm. How far do you think it'd be?

You could have stayed and watched nine more runs. That's how. 10 after the first inning. That's true. You'd almost be like, well, that's probably about all the runs. Uh-huh. And then you're like, no, no, no. You could have watched 11 more runs because the sound's got two.

Well, they want us. You got to go do it now, Dusty. You're the last one. Oh, you've all three done it? Mm-hmm. Oh, wow. No, I don't know. But I would, I mean, you know, we might as well complete it.

But you guys all nailed it. Now I'm going to be the one to not do a good pitch. You're the one that doesn't play sports, really. Yeah. You're the first cast of Fishing sports, really. Yeah. You're the first cast of fishing line or something. Yeah. Yeah. Do you fish?

I have fished. Throw a fake ball. No ball. Yeah. A flat ball. Yeah. Frisbee. Throw a fan.

Yeah. Throw a frisbee down there. Painted like a ball. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. I don't know ball. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. I don't know if they're into it.

So they built all those condos back there. But what do you think? How far is that to hit a home run? You think? You think they're going to be breaking out windows? No. That's a pretty long. That's a pretty long run.

That gets you to the pros. They have metal bat. Like if a college team played metal bats, maybe. Yeah. No, that sound. Yeah. It's a good sound. it's a good sound that's a good view though if you get one of those apartments and you love baseball you love is it minor league yeah yeah i love like minor league baseball triple a triple you thought this might be major league baseball no i know it's not major league but I don't know what they call it. Yeah, it's minor league. Yeah. Yeah.

I know it's not major league. I went to – so I went and did – Should be. Burt's, the fully loaded. And it was very fun. That's a baseball stadium too, huh? Yeah. No, this was an amphitheater in Huntsville. Okay.

But it's like, I mean, he's got a real thing going, man. I mean, uh, I saw Larry, the cable golf,

being him and Chad Daniels. Yeah. He wasn't at that. I mean, I wasn't at that one, but yeah, jelly roll is there. Very nice guy.

Yeah. He is. And then, yeah, it was a super fun, uh, Ralph Barbosa there too. Yeah. Very funny. Very funny. Yeah, he is very nice. And then, yeah, it was a super fun time. Ralph Barbosa there, too. Yeah, very funny. Very nice guy, very funny.

Yeah. And this was at Brand New Amphitheater there. Mm-hmm. Yeah, the amphitheater is super cool. And it's just, he does a great, I mean, Bert just does a great job. It's like a fun show. It's awesome. Yeah, I really enjoyed it.

With something like that, though, is it outdoors? that though is it outdoors i mean is it just a party are you like really able to like tell jokes no you're able to tell jokes i mean there it is a party yeah but it's like when you walked out i mean they you know you're able to tell jokes and their audiences are awesome percentages you think who what's the shirt-on-to-shirt-off ratio out there? It felt like a lot of shirt-on. I didn't notice anybody with a shirt-off. Maybe when Burt walked out there, they're out in the parking lot. When Burt goes out there, people get after it.

It's always guys who shouldn't be doing that. Well, when I worked with him before, everybody that took pictures with him would take their shirt off first. So, I mean, Burt has to rub up against a lot of sweaty shirtless dudes. Yeah. I mean, a lot. Yeah. Look at that. Yeah, Big J.

I mean, the whole thing was just super fun. Syphus Hounds. Tiffany Haddish. Yeah. Yeah. Aphus. Tiffany Haddish. Yeah. Yeah. Good. A good time. You also did the NHL awards since we.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I did that. Oh, yeah. We got to talk about that because we workshopped or you workshopped a little bit. Oh, yeah. Say, and it changed pretty dramatically.

I could not find a good video of it um i saw a few sort of lower quality ones that people had when i posted oh yeah yeah yeah awful quality but uh if you find a good one let me is it with audio can you hear the audio on it where did you post it from nateland yeah i think i just it was just the story though yeah i may still have it, make it go away in 24 hours. Yeah, I ended up, I did meet the guy that wrote it was a comedian. Oh, okay. And what you could tell because it was written, it made sense, like, the way it was written. It was a joke.

Yeah. But we did, yeah, I had the thing up with Connor McDavid when I walked. Like someone, I was sitting in the front row, so they had seat fillers. And so when someone would get up, you know, it's like someone would come sit down. So we're, I mean, before the show starts, we're in the front row. Like Connor McDavid's at the very end. I'm, me and Laura in the middle. And Darius Rucker and whoever he was with.

And so they're, we're sitting, and then someone comes up to me, and they're like looking for – they're like, Connor McDavid? And they come to me and ask me if I'm Connor McDavid. And it's just someone – you know, it's just a lady that doesn't really know. And I was like, no. Connor McDavid is the Michael Jordan of hockey right now. So, I mean, he's a big dude. We look obviously nothing alike.

And so then I just quickly made a little joke about... Then right before I went out, I was like, maybe I'll mention that. I don't think that part's on there. Did that pay off though? Sometimes I feel like I think of a joke right as I'm about to go on and I do it and I'm like, shouldn't have done it. Yeah, it got laughs.

It did get laughs for sure. I am presenting the Norris Trophy for top defenseman. I – yeah, thank you. A big part of this. It's – look, I've never defended anything in my life. So I'm not – you know, I'm very defensive. My wife tells me that, you know, when I golf. And she's that you know when i golf and she's like you golf

too much it's like why don't you back off a little bit i barely get to golf only a few days a week i travel a lot like you guys she's gone a lot my wife has to do a lot of discipline our daughter on her own and so she'll give me like when come home. She's like, look, you've got to discipline our daughter as well. She tells me you're not her friend. She's your daughter. She's right because she's my best friend. My wife's defensive, actually,

now that I talk about it. Here are your finals. Shut that off my television. That's well done. Yeah. It was fun. It was fun, like, in the moment, do something live like that. And, yeah, and it was, like, I was happy.

Like, that's something you got to work on to get better at being able to do that. Like, it's something that, like, you know, you're like, all right. Like, it just takes years of. Yeah, also not a comedy audience. No, no. So you're like, I could bomb super hard. Yeah. And, like, they were even telling me, like, before I went up,

they're like, if you don't get a laugh, like, you know, it's like people who's paying attention. Right. But when I went up i mean being at home help there's obviously a lot of nashville people there so uh and then i did that beginning thing with comrade david and then so that brought him in it's like and that was a very in the moment i remember chris rock said told me once like i was doing panel for the first time and he was like just watch this show he's like because you're going to end up like just he's like make everybody and i still uh i've done it where i watch the show i

have not yet to bring something up about it uh but he's like just sit in the green and watch the show like i'm sure something someone's gonna say something that then you can come out and be like hey this thing that you know then you kind of go off on that. And like, that's where Chris Rock's very good at. So you see this picture of the Tennessee and Chips for you. Yeah. For the article. It's insane. Yeah.

That's Laura talking to Barry Trotz in the background. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. I talked to Barry Trotz and David. And you look mad. Yeah. You look very mad that she's talking to him. Yeah.

It looks like that guy asked me something. I go, what'd you say? Yeah. You look very mad that she's talking to him. Yeah. It looks like that guy asked me something. I go, what'd you say? Yeah. Can he post for a picture real quick? Well, that's when you're the level of where I'm at versus what they don't really need a picture of me. You know, they're like, I'll do it to be nice. I think he's asking me, do you mind if I take a picture? And I'm trying to.

And you're like, what? Yeah, what'd you say? And I go, oh, yeah. And he goes, I already got it. Yeah. You go, all right. That's fun. Oh, good stuff.

Yeah, it was good. Laura looked great. And it was, yeah, Barry Trotz. Yeah, I mean, it was super fun, man. And it was fun to get to do it. Conor McDavid. So afterwards, I was like, I'm going to, I was going it was super fun, man. And it was fun to get to do it. Conor McDavid. So afterwards, I was like, I'm going to try to say hi to him because I made the joke about him.

Sometimes I don't make a joke about him. I make fun of me. But I was just going to be like, hey, man, just cool to meet you. I mean, he's won three MVPs. I mean, he's LeBron right now in, in, in NHL. And, uh,

and then I went up, I told one of the NHL guys, like, oh, I was trying to say hi to Conor and David. And they were like, oh, he's a big fan of you.

Wow. And he goes here, let's go back. So I go back to where he's taking pictures with the heart trophy and like all the trophies he's won. And then, uh, I just go back, meet him.

And I was like, oh, Hey, I was just messing around. He's like, I was happy to be a part of it. I'm a big fan. Then he asked to take a picture of me. And then I just go back and meet him. And I was like, oh, hey, I was just messing around. He's like, I was happy to be a part of it. I'm a big fan. Then he asked to take a picture of me. And then we left.

All right. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Big time. Yeah. Yeah, it's very cool. It's kind of crazy. You're like, you just think these worlds would not in a million years.

Parties, I bet they'd never even heard of me. Yeah, I don't expect anything. I'm a big fan. Is he from the US? No. He's Canadian the US? No. He's Canadian, right? He's Canadian. But it's, yeah, I mean, it's funny.

We look nothing alike, but it was, yeah. And that suit is, it's barely, I like the suit. It's barely hanging on. It's at the limit, dude. Suits are tough. I feel like people will make fun of a suit no matter what. No matter how good it feel like people will make fun of a suit no matter what no matter how good it looks people will make fun of my my suit is at the uh fire code limit you can't fit one more person in you're you're just like all right that's it he goes what about one they go

we i promise you we can't do we've already got too many in. We're above the fire code limit. We're above the one that's written fire code limit. But I know what the real fire code limit is. Yeah, yeah. And we can't, that's it. But that's the thing with suits now, right? They want it to be tight.

I mean, I'm all about it. I like these suits. You don't- You like these better than- Yeah. I mean, I like them better than these huge baggy ones. I think these look crazy. It's crazy that that's what you wore.

Yeah. Yeah, these were like cool suits. Yeah. How old were you? 2003? 11. Yeah. Your Harper's 11.

Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. And Harper just had her birthday. All right. 11 years old. I was 21. I didn't even know this basketball was happening. I was probably blacked out somewhere.

Yeah. That's quite a draft. You weren't following the draft. Yeah. I'm trying to think who is it. Yeah. LeBron's draft is crazy. Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony.

Is that Chris Bosh back there too? Yeah. Wow. A few whites that didn't pan out in the back. Is that Vince Carter? Looks like Vince. I don't think he was in that draft. He was earlier in that.

I had no idea those three guys were in the same draft, though. That's pretty awesome. They ended up on the Miami Heat, won some championships. That's pretty fun. I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Were y'all anything that you wanted to say? Nah. Oh, I did. Since the last podcast podcast i did the grand old opry three times oh wow and it was great i met well i'd already met vince gill and amy grant before uh but they remembered me and that was a lot of fun yeah and uh yeah um and it was great genie sealy was there that brought me out for the first time at the Opry. And that was fun. So I met TG Shepard. I met a lot of country classics and it was great. I love the Opry. Now Jeannie Seeley's been on,

I think everyone I've done there, but she's never brought me out. They usually just introduce you from the side. What was the. Well, she was kind of that. She was like the MC that night. I think so.

They used to run the show differently, I think. I think they would have an artist host a portion of the show. When you made your debut, that's how the show worked. And now it's a little different. This might be how Bates figures out he's never been on the Grand Ole. No, I think about it. Because I usually perform behind the curtain. There's a food court.

It says Opry Mills. There's no audience, right? Because it's radio right but i got a new joke i've been doing about ready to unleash some family jokes i've been protecting my family for a long time but i'm ready to unleash it and i did one uh all three times and it it's a little edgy for the opry it's not an edgy joke really but a little edgy for the opry and uh's not an edgy joke, really, but a little edgy for the Opry. And they clinch up every time. And it is a blast. The people backstage at the Opry, they love it.

They're dying back there. Isn't that fun when you can hear the band kind of getting into it? There's a band? I mean, yeah. Arjerman, that's who matters. The people in the back and not the audience. Let's read some comments. Names, episode comments.

Julia Reed. Hey, Bears. The surname Reed is of English origin and means red. My husband can trace his family heritage all the way back to the Norman invasion. And back then it was spelled red for their red hair and beards. Over time, it morphed to Reed and then upon coming to the new world, changed yet again to Reed with two E's.

Oh, back to the original. Love this topic. You're all knocking on the park as always. Well, the original was just R-E-D. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So it was R-E-D and they changed it to R-E-E-D.

With the R-E-I-D in the middle there. I feel like I still know more R-E-I-Ds than 2-E's. Yeah, that's for sure. All the way back to the Norman conquest of the 11th century. Do you know about that? Mark Norman? Yeah, the Mark Norman invasion. I don't know about that.

That guy's everywhere. What was it? I don't know. William the Conqueror. Heard of him. Heard of him, yeah. William's claim to the English throne derived from his familiar... Okay.

Yeah, yeah. Good stuff. I don't know enough to talk about it. That's what they... I mean, 1066 is like... They have like... They still have like a church up from 1066 over in London. Yeah.

Like, it's insane. Yeah, like the oldest building in America doesn't even come close, right's insane. Yeah, like, the oldest building in America doesn't even come close, right? No. It's a couple hundred years old. Yeah, there might be some Native American-like stuff that's like... Well, like, Harvard's been around since the 1600s.

They still have some buildings. Yeah, but I mean, still, it's 1066. Yeah, but I guess I took your couple hundred years old, literal. Couple hundred, 400, you know, same thing. Yeah. Yeah. Brad thing. Yeah. Yeah. Uh,

Brad Healy heard a comment last week about not being able to name a kid, a name that is a Royal title in Australia. This is true. We applied to have our first son named Duke and we're turned down. So we named him Duke pronounced the same. The poor kid would just have to spell it out for people for the rest of his life. D-E-U-K-E. I love the name Duke, but really, way to do that to yourself.

Duke. Yeah. Duke. Duke. Duke. You could have gone Duke. Duke. But I love the name.

That would be spelled the same way. I love the name Duke. Had I not named my daughter Daisy, my son would be named Duke. Yeah. Yeah. But D-E-U-K-E sounds. That's how you do it. I ought to put a little accent over the E. That's all you get. Then it's Duque.

But Duque. Duque. Why would they allow that? It's a totally different word. Different letter. Duque is a lot like Duque though. That's not really what you want your son to be. Well, they're all pretty close to that. Well, yeah. But Duque, that sounds like Joe Dirt.

Deer day. I think they wanted to class, you know, after Brad, they were like, let's class it up a little bit. Let's give this boy a chance. I think Brad said that he had another son named Dustin. They called Dusty. And they were talking about naming their daughter Daisy, but didn't want to do it because of Daisy Duke. Same as you.

Wow. All right, Brad. This guy's in Australia. That's the Australian Dusty. Yeah. Withany Milligan. Withany. My name is Withany.

My maiden name is Anderson. And for my dad's entire life, he was always having to correct people when they mistakenly spelled it. So he's constantly saying, it's Anderson with an E. Anderson. So it's like typically with an O. Oh, yeah. Oh, so the correction wasn't Withany.

Yeah, Withany. It was the Anderson problem. He said, there's so much that when my mom told him they were expecting a baby, I came up with the name With an E. My name is truly the best dad joke there never. With an E. Oh, hilarious. There never was. Though it doesn't make much sense after I got married and my husband's name is Milligan. With an E. Milligan.

Wow, that's pretty fun. With an E. I was making fun of that, and deep deep down still am but that is uh really fun with a knee with an with a knee anderson yeah yeah yeah with the knee great milligan with an a you know within yeah that's the that's their son's name yeah with the knee milligan with an a with a knee is not a bad name you call call it wit probably. Yeah. With a knee. You know, it's like. I didn't think of it like that, but I thought I didn't think of it. That's really.

Yeah. With a name like Dusty, people always want to write Dustin when I go order a coffee. So I go Dusty with a Y and that confuses people real because they're like, they think that like I'm like a Y at the beginning. Dusty. Dusty with a Y. They just, they're like. So did you think about naming your son like a Y at the beginning. Yusty? Dusty with a Y. They're like. So did you think about naming your son with a Y? Never crossed my mind.

This is great. Yeah. So when you get upset if they put Dustin? I don't get upset about it, but I just don't know why they can't hear what I'm saying. Yeah. Dusty. And then it's Dustin.

I think you hear name. Like, it's like i i feel like starbucks has got to a point i don't have a you know where it's like they're just like there's so many like it's like just it's like how much time can you like be like what is it yeah i'll say nathan instead of nate because nate sometimes they don't hear. So I just say Nathan. So it's like the least. Like there's no conversation. Aaron has a system that he likes. I always say Doug because there's just there's no follow up to Doug.

I think, Dusty, you're also you're a lot to take in in a split second. Yes. They work and they look up and they see you and then you say Dusty and they're like, what? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They want you to be Dustin because Dusty's going to rob this place. But Dustin. Well, I do think sometimes.

He's going to get in his car and go home. I do think sometimes that they're like, did he say Dustin or Dusty? If he said Dustin, I don't want to write Dusty. I feel like they think they're going to offend me. Yeah. So they go safe with it. Air on the safe side. Yeah. This is So they go safe. Error on the safe side. Yeah.

You're a D-dog. Tom Etton. At the risk of stating the obvious, Monty Python produced an entire film based on the life of a biblical era Brian, featuring much irreverent humor, including a crucified Brian singing, always look on the bright side of life. Yeah, so I've never seen

Life of Brian, which my parents wouldn't let me watch a lot of 1970s British humor based off making fun of the Bible. I did try it because so many people sent us that. It's on Netflix. I watched 20 minutes of it. I couldn't do it.

Yeah. I do like the old British Shimmer, but I don't get into that one either. I like British Shimmer. The accents were so thick. Blessed are the cheesemakers. Yeah. Have you seen it, Life of Brian? I had seen it.

I did not make the connection in the moment, but once somebody said it, I was like, oh, I haven't seen that movie. It wasn't for me. I can't get into making fun in the moment, but once somebody said it, I was like, Oh, I haven't, I haven't seen that movie. Yeah. It wasn't for me, but I can't get into making fun of the Bible, but, um,

I like some Monty Python stuff. The Holy grail. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Uh, there. Yeah.

Uh, Steve, Stephen Kelly. I can't believe the first time Nate takes notes for this podcast is so he can stumble through the plot of a below average 23 year old action movie. Classic Nate land. Let's go folks. I know I try.

I've never, I've never done no. And I thought, I thought this was funny. And I was like, I don't remember to say we were waiting so long to film or something. So that's what I was like. Oh yeah.

Yeah. Uh, Steven McMillan. Great name. My parent, that is a good name. Uh, my parents named me Steven Charles,

Harold McMillan, still not bad name, but the person writing it down spelled Harold, H a R L O D. Harlot. Harlot. Harlot. Harlot. My mom knows that wanted to change. Harlod. Harlod. Harlod. Harlod.

My mom noticed it and wanted to change it. She said they had to charge her. Long story short, she kept it for 20 plus years. Both my sisters took great joy in calling me that growing up. Love the pod, guys. That's crazy. Someone can make a mistake and then you're like, hey, well, that's wrong. And then they're like, well, how much does it cost?

Yeah, it wasn't even the parent that wrote it down wrong it was whoever was transcribing it yeah yeah and when it's a mistake like that you they should give you the freebie it's like you thought i meant harlod yeah yeah not harold harlott that would be so my family though the wrong name and we can't afford right now that he ain't gonna give you 25 dollars so for 20 years he goes for 20 years for the rest of his life he's gonna live you know what he's he's a hard log i like the name i wanted to start telling you the more i say it i like it it's different i wanted to go four names with it i thought like it was too much i found out that i had like a great aunt or something who named her kid her last name was denny she named her kid franklin delanor roosevelt denny fdr denny she did the full i mean i guess he

was president during that time so she went like full on yeah but it's like that's a lot of names well times have changed imagine naming your kid after the current president yeah Yeah. Just ever. It'd be weird. It'd be crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That kid would be hated by half the country no matter what. Yeah. Yeah. Everywhere he goes.

Yeah. Dr. Jacob Van Laan might be Jacob. Dr. Jacob

Van Laan. My legal birth name was Jacob Jan Grady John Michael Dakota Van Laan. My legal birth name was Jacob Jan Grady John Michael Dakota Van Laan. Wow. Jacob Jan Grady John Michael Dakota Van Laan. My parents were a product of the hippie era, so they've always been anti-establishment, anti-government, off-the-grid types.

So the story goes that when I was born, my mom tried to give me two middle names, and apparently the nurse told her she could only pick one. So she responded that I was her kid and she could give me however many names she wanted. Wow. All right. I like that. I love your parents. Yeah.

I love that your mom was like, you know what? I'll do whatever I want to do. There's a difference between Australia and America right there. Right. Australia says, well, we can't name our kid Duke. And then this one said, I'll give my kid as many names as I want. I'll give it 12 names. I love Mrs. Vaughn Long.

I think he said she went around the room and just everyone who was in the room at the time just said, pick a name. And everyone just gave him a name. Wow. That's a crazy way to name a kid. Jacob Jan Grady John Michael Dakota Van Lien. I don't, the rhythm of it, I don't mind. I don't, I don't know that I care for Jan being thrown in your name all of a sudden like that. Jacob, Jan, Grady.

I don't know. Short for January. Jacob, Jan, Grady, John, Michael, Dakota, Van Lant. I like it. He's a doctor now. Yeah. He's doing all right. Yeah, I like it.

I like the whole thing. People just don't want to be told, you know. I just want to see your driver's license. Well, he says was, so apparently he maybe had it fixed. Yeah, I don't know. Someone else posted they had two middle names because their dad thought that would avoid the draft. Like somehow it would mess the government up when they're going through the process. They want to stay off the radar.

I thought you'd appreciate that. Any evidence on whether it worked or not, though? Well, we haven't had a draft in about 50-something years. So when he was born, probably there was drafts. There was always a chance of one. Yeah. Still there. You sign up for it.

Yeah. Yeah. Hunter DiPaolo. I went to college with a guy who always introduced himself as Devin Foster Sr. Since we were all about 19 at the time, someone finally asked him one day in class if he really had a son. That's funny. It's getting ahead of it. Yeah. It's a guy that gets it.

Yeah. Heather Crawford. Just thought I would give you the real reason Peekaboo Street was named. She was named after the very small town in Idaho called Peekaboo, where I was born and raised. It is in Blaine County, where she lived and skied in Sun Valley, Idaho. My mother was friends with her hippie parents, and my mom asked them one day when they were at her house, when are you guys going to name that what when are you guys going to name that baby why not name her peek peekaboo and so they

did true story wow that's not the the story that peekaboo street shares but i'll have to share i'll have to trust heather did heather crawford put that period in her i think that was just a mistake okay that's a real power move. Yeah. Putting punctuation in your name. Heather Crawford. You're like, yeah. You better take a beat after you say my name.

Yeah. The best of episode comments. Kel Horvath. Next week's show needs to start off with a pop quiz to make sure Dusty watched the episode to catch up with the lore. All right, Dusty. Where did Errol Lane come from? I'm going to be honest. I'm just going to catch up with the lure. Alright, Dusty, where did Aaron Lane come from? I'm going to be honest.

I'm just going to be honest. I didn't watch it. I could beat around the bush, but you'll know it's a lie. What does Nate do for a living? Well, I believe he's a stand-up comedian based on some of the stuff we've talked about. Yeah. Could be a professional golfer, though. I'm not sure. You don't know which one of these cameras

is aaron land no i'm guessing this one the main one uh over here okay yeah okay because oh because it's pointed right at aaron here that's kind of the dustyyland camera now too. Dusty Town? I'll share it. You are on screen for Aaron Land. I'm a main character in Aaron Land. You never known that you were. Like the Truman Show. Evan Hegel.

I will say this feels unearned for anyone who listens to this as their first episode. I had to judge through each of these episodes to get to these these laughs i think new listeners should have to too yeah i agree it's a fair point fair point work for it yeah uh i did the other night i was thinking about the truman show like can you imagine if like if that was real like you ever you ever just sit there and you're like what if you are well after movie got released, there was a surge of people thinking that that's what was happening. Yeah.

It's like it's documented. There's a rise in that all across the country. People go to their therapist or a doctor and be like, I think I'm on a TV show. Like, yeah, people thought it. But now there are reality shows where that kind of happens. Jury Duty, that show that was just on Amazon, I saw an interview with Ronald, who's the star of it. He's the guy who's being Truman showed, essentially.

And he said for weeks, maybe months after it was done, he would freak out thinking, am I still being filmed? Yeah, how could you not? Am I still on the show? Yeah, it's probably a lot to deal with. Yeah. Yeah, that's a lot to... And then you don't know if they're ever going to come back and bring it back or you never know it's popular so they go like let's do a season two exactly get him again am i already being filmed for season two yeah that is tough because then it's like was he happy that he was on it i think so actually you know he's a fan of Dusty. I was going to say, isn't that crazy?

Did you know that? Have we talked about that yet? I don't think so. Do you know this show, Jury Duty? No. It's where... It's a show about Jury Duty

and everyone's an actor except for one guy. Okay. And I went to the guy's Instagram, or my wife did, and scrolled down and he's a Dusty Slay fan. All right.

He's at one of your shows in San Diego. A picture at Acme to say we're having a good time. That's what I'm talking about. You're going to watch the show now. Yeah. I will check it out.

This was the guy who didn't know it was filmed? Yeah. Yeah. I like that guy. Probably a little paranoid. Yeah. He's more of a Dusty fan than ever. Government's watching.

Probably trying to come to bond with me. Yeah. He's in now. Yeah. I get it. Yeah, that is weird that you'd always would just be like, you just really have to have some trust and you don't know. If any situation, like anything that happens weirdly,

you go return something and it becomes a problem. You're like, all right, dude. You're like, are y'all filming something? And then everybody's like, are you insane? Yeah. You think you would watch a show like that if it were on? Just seeing. I mean, well, everybody watched Jury Duty.

I've not watched it yet. I mean, if there were a Truman show. A Truman show, 24-7. Well, Big Brother was kind of that. They just knew they were in there. They knew they were in there. But I mean, it's the idea that you're watching a regular guy. It's like he lives in a bubble, and he's been there since he was a baby and then they do i could see them i could

see eventually happening like eventually it's just in the futuristic world we just get so detached from growing up like a regular person that you end up paying to watch regular people live in this like bubble life oh that's an angle of it I hadn't thought about. Yeah, like you're just like, you know, it's you're say we're in VR worlds and you're just like or whatever it's going to be. And then you're just like, oh, we're going to watch. Here's a here's a kid that grew up in this like a zoo. Yeah, because I mean, you're fine with zoos i know it's animals but like once you get you know it's like i feel like stuff's getting so uh what's the desensitized to humans even yeah no one's even looking at people don't look at people as like a person and so it's like eventually when is that going to

click over till you go like yeah yeah i don't i'm just watching a video of this. I mean, 50 years? I don't know. Yeah. Could be. Like, why not? Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I think about sometimes, if I'm having, like, a boring day, if I didn't do anything that day, I was like, if this were the Truman Show, this would be a tough episode. Like, not a lot happened.

They'd have to spice it up. Like, there'd be... That's when I think you can know... That's when they would send the friends over yeah they would send that buddy over to go let's have a six-pack yeah you know right or they'd be a best of that day yeah yeah yeah yeah i think you would always have stuff going on you'd have to like that's when you can tell you're not on it when you're like when you got two days on the couch you're like i'm pretty safe that you're just like, oh man, I think my show got canceled.

Oh, your show. Aaron Land has been off the air. Aaron Land, no one's watching anymore. They can't see it. Yeah. Imagine that. You think that you're being filmed and then you're not anymore, but you're still like doing stuff to entertain the camera.

It stopped years ago. You're like, still think the show's running? Yeah. Well, I mean, it's like a prank video. I mean, like, we watched that. So if you get a little taste

of something, then eventually, when you just go, you're watching Big Brother, you're watching these celebrities live and all this stuff. I bet celebrities, when punked,

was such a big deal. They're probably always worried that it could happen to them. Oh, yeah. You're just on edge. Yeah. At all times. Is,

like, I've been, you see those clips online of, yeah, you're just on edge at all times. You see those clips online of people doing pranks where they act like they're going to fight a guy or they talk about it. And then hopefully the person just beats them up. But I'm saying the kid that does that does not think that other person is a person. I agree. He really just has zero empathy at all. And so they're on the phone going, I'm going to fight this guy or whatever.

And then the guy fights. And then they yell at the guy for overreacting, going, it's a prank, dude. Calm down. And you're like, I mean, that person is psychotic, really. They have no care in the world that you're like, that's just a guy walking down the street. And you're just trying to like be annoying and film them. I love seeing prank show people get punched.

Oh, yeah. It's great. It is. It's very great and satisfying. But I mean, there's so many people that seems to be doing that kind of stuff. So, you know, you look at like, yeah, if you look at social media, I mean, people don't think these people, people film people. Go and look at this fat guy. Look at this guy.

And they just post it and it can go viral. You're like, you're not treating that person as like a person, dude. Like it's, you know, and look, I've made fun of people. But he's here. And dude like it's you know and look i've made fun of people like fun but he's here and he knows he doesn't but he's here to defend himself if he wants to it's not like yeah you're gonna make jokes tonight no one's i'm not saying like i'm not trying to like it's perfect but it's like it's you gotta it's a slippery slope of just being like when are you gonna you know you see like war videos just pop on social media. You're watching this guy get blown up and you're like, yeah, you know,

it's like, I don't see that. And you're like, I mean, I don't even, you're like, you don't even care. And that should be on the, that should be the main news. That should be on like 60 minutes. It should be like, can you believe they blew this up? It's just a tweet you scroll past. Yeah. And you just got to go by it. Yeah. There's like a, there's YouTube videos about this like Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia,

where you're just – like I've watched hours of this stuff, and it's just people on drugs. And I'm like, it's so sad, but I'm like, I can't take my eyes off of it because I'm – and they're not necessarily making fun of them. They're just showing it. Yeah. I'm just like, oh, gosh. Well, that's how disconnected –

Yeah. And that's, what's the problem is people are so disconnected from a reality. And then the people that are watching that, they can only see, they see that and they think, all right, you're either me or you're that.

And they forget that there's, there's all people in the middle and there's all this other stuff, but they, they really look at it as like, you know, it's like the rich people or it's just your live live on that street right and there's no in between there's no just a single mom or this or that it's like yeah yeah it's crazy that's the saddest thing uh cody quinn you gotta follow this all that i'm a police officer in the new york city suburb and i was just listening to best of three

They don't know that set last night. We did about a three hour session. I don't know that. And I mean, I went in and work went through my we worked on a good thing.

I'm at a point of just finding the right feel. Yeah. Charles Barker's a ton. I'm like right when I saw where they had all of them listed. Yeah. I'm right in the middle of like the odds. I think you were. I don't think it's anything crazy. It's just directly in the middle of the odds, I think. You were... I don't think it's anything crazy.

All right. All right. I love cars. Yeah. You do?

I'm not a car guy, but I do love them. I like cars too. I would like to become a car guy. Yeah. What's the difference between a car guy and a guy who loves cars? Well, I think I have a type of appreciation love. You know what I mean? I'm not working on them, but I like that.

I, I love that they exist. You respect people that do work on them. Well, yeah. Okay. But I, I wish I could work on them.

Yeah, me too. I wish I knew more about them. I really like driving. Like, like, you know, I think it's,

I guess I wish I knew. I don't know how much everybody knows everything about a car. But when I found out that we were doing this, it made me want to ask you guys, like, what were your first cars? What's the first car that you got? Mine's a Mazda 626. Oh, yeah. Called Old Blue.

That was pretty fun in high school, huh? That was a nice car back then. I mean, maybe it still is. It was a 1985 Mazda 626. No, not, it was like, I was the car that madeda 626. No, not. It was like, I was the car that made fun of it. Oh, okay. I remember a guy with an old blue 626.

I loved it. It looked nice. It was a good one. You know, it looked great. Yeah. It was a 19, yeah, this was a 97. So it was a 1985. And a stick shift. Oh, stick shift.

Yeah, I enjoyed it. Old blue, old blue is, everybody knew the name, you know. Yeah. Had a tennis ball on the stick shift thing. Oh, yeah. Well, because it was so sticky. Yeah. And like, because all the tape came off, you know, it's like.

Yeah. Just such a. Was it a manual? Mm-hmm. Stick shift? I liked it. Instead of the eight ball shifter, you had the tennis ball shifter. Yeah, just cut up, you know, and so we could afford it. Yeah. Random tennis shifter. Yeah, just cut it. We could afford it.

Random tennis ball. Found one. Just cut it. Plopped it on. I've known people who've named their cars. You called yours old blue, but that sounds like more. I mean, they've named their name names. What did you have?

My first one was a 1979 Chevy Nova. Okay. But this was 1979. Yeah. Rolled off the lot. Yeah. Now, I've only had, I think I may have said this was 1979. Yeah. Rolled off the lot. Yeah. Now, I've only had, I think I may have said this one before, I've only owned five cars in my life. I keep a car for a long time.

What color was your Nova? Originally silver. By the time I got it, it was gray. Okay. What year did you get it? It's a cool looking car, right? Yeah, I wish I had that now. Oh, yeah. If you had that now. But I mean, back that now but i mean back then this wasn't vintage looking back but this would be yeah right now

retired it would be awesome to have that yeah it did not look like that i mean that's so shiny i would love an old like car yeah i really like one of these like like with the seat that goes all the way across. Yeah. Bench seats. Does it have a radio in it, Brian? Yeah. It was like 86 or 87 when I had it. Yeah. Just the two dials that you turn, volume and the channel turn.

Did you buy it or was it someone's? No, it was my parents handing it down. Air conditioner in it? I met it. It probably didn't work. Yeah. It may have had it. Was top uh canvas sagging yes yeah that the windows down it flaps yeah yeah yeah when you're going down the highway yeah

how was the windows could did that was the thing still on there i think so i drove a car for a while they had to roll up with a pair of pliers yeah the handle would come off yeah yeah you had to pull it you need two hands to get the i've pulled the window up yeah i the other car i got after the old blue one we called it new blue and it was my parents old honda civic uh and it was still it was a manual and it was uh and it had all like you know no power windows oh yeah and then uh very normal not have power windows when i was oh yeah like it was i mean with my group you know that i was with i mean the guys that people that had money all had power windows, but I mean,

I didn't have, I just thought I would never get power when I, you know, I just assumed like, I just, I would get power. I never even thought. That's like a flying car at that point. Yeah.

Yeah. You're like, well, like kids now don't even know if you do this, they don't know that that's rolling. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's an outdated mind for a window down.

Yeah. Would you know it? Yeah. My, know it? Yeah. My first few cars had. What was your first car? 2003 Chevrolet Malibu. Okay. Gold.

All right. Yeah. Manual windows for sure. Stick shift? No. I've never driven a stick shift. Okay. I don't even know how it works.

I don't know. It was cheaper to buy a stick shift is why we driven a stick shift. Okay. I don't even know how it works. I don't know. It was cheaper to buy a stick shift is why we did a stick shift. And, uh, my parents had their old, I mean, they bought, my parents bought a car. Uh, they, when they were young, they went and got one off the lot, like just a typical, you know, someone that you have no money, no credit, no anything, but they get talked into, oh yeah, we can do this. So they do it the cheapest way. When I was like a little kid, they buy no air conditioning because it was cheaper.

And then they don't really, I mean, it's like summer comes around and it's just. That's one of the more important parts of the car. Yeah, for sure. I had a 84 Bronco too and stick shift, no air conditioner. It didn't, it wasn't broken. It just didn't have it. Yeah. I had pleather seats in there. I had to ride with my shirt off all the time this car just sweat awesome it was yeah it was pretty great did you have a tire on the back like that yeah i had a uh but it

was uh they had the motor was all raggedy they had like a mustang motor in there and so where the where the starter it didn't really match up. So when you would crank it, it would go like every time. And that was the worst part. That's the most embarrassing thing about it. It was more like this red one down here. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's the stuff that people don't realize,

like how much you have to deal with your car. Like I think, you know, you're talking about like the people that don't live in reality but like there's people that don't realize like how much you have to like growing up your your car you're talking about it almost every day because something doesn't work yeah and it's just all the time is just like yeah my window's not going down now so i mean i remember i'd mine would just fall straight down oh yeah sometimes you'd be going down the interstate or somewhere just goes boom and you're like in the window and then you got to like try to get in there and like get it back up and sandwich it in until you can go get it i mean yeah you just have to work on your car all the time. Oh, yeah.

Always something. I had a full-size Bronco after that car, and it would, when you would drive, and then when you would stop, the water would just spew. I had to carry a jug of water around with me because it would just stop, and it would spew all the water out, and then I would have to pour more water back in there. We never figured it out. I had a full-size Bronco, 89 white Ford Bronco. So cool looking. OJ. Yeah. I mean, my dad, OJ's was a nineties model. I think mine was an 89, but my dad took it while I was at work. Cause it kept

breaking down. He took it while I was at work. He took this cool full-size bronco traded it in on a 99 four door saturn sl so i rode into work in a in a bronco and came and left in a four-door saturn did you have any idea that was happening i knew he was taking it and trading it in but i had no idea what he was getting yeah what a downgrade it would be i mean mean, that car did me well. I mean, that was the practical car for me. I ended up flipping it later, but it was the car I needed. Flipping it like a wreck? Yeah, I rolled it. Just like driving impaired?

Yeah, oh, yeah. And I drove it. I flew off into a marsh in Charleston. I rolled it. I landed on the roof. You flew off? You flew off in a marsh? Yeaheston. I rolled it. I landed on the roof. You flew off. You flew off in a marsh. Yeah.

I don't know. I hit something, and it flipped the car. I had my buddy in the car. We both crawled out. It was that blue. It was just like that blue. We crawled out the windows, and I lost my flip-flops and my glasses. It was December.

I was cold. I was cold. I was all wet. Y'all were okay? We were okay. And this guy stopped and he goes, you guys need a ride home? And we were like, yes, we do. And my car was upside down, headlights pointed in the woods. You just left it there?

We just left it. It didn't hurt anybody else. So we just left it. And then I tried to call some tow truck companies to get it and they were like the cops already know about it so i just went to sleep because i was like there's nothing i can do tonight that's gonna help my kids yeah and i woke up the next morning and uh went and uh had to get it had to get a release form from the police station and nobody asked any questions i just got it and i mean it was

totaled i mean it was done it was that was it yeah i mean now had i been in the bronco maybe that i wouldn't even flipped yeah true dad's phone yeah yeah but uh that car was great but it we called it poo bear because it looked like the kind of car that would have a poo bear sun visor in the back to protect the kids oh it does look like i mean it was a real i mean it looked like the kind of car that would have a Pooh Bear sun visor in the back to protect the kids. Oh, it does look like that. I mean, it was a real, I mean, it was like, talk about like one day I'm driving a car that girls like. And the next day I'm, you know, driving a car that no one likes. I mean, it is. Well, Saturn was a good car that like just a lot of people, it just was a car that was reliable.

They were built here. Very well built. Spring Hill. Were they really? Tennessee? Oh, wow. I remember when they came, the Saturn plant came. It was like a big deal.

Yeah. It was such a good car. It didn't have power steering. It was like really hard. I mean, it was the base model. Yeah. But man, I got a lot of miles out of that thing. That's where I started selling pesticides in that car.

Oh, wow. Yeah. I had a 1986 Mercury Lynx. Oh, I don't even know the Lynx. Nobody did. It was basically a Ford Escort, cheaper version. Ford Escorts were popular in the late 80s. I remember the Escort.

But we couldn't afford Escorts. My dad got me a Mercury Lynx. Yeah, kind of like that. Yeah. Maybe that's what Alan Jackson was saying about. Yeah. That one is one that's not really held its own.

Like, you don't look at that one and go, I wish I could get that one. Yeah, it doesn't look cool. I mean, like, if you were like a crazy car guy, you could, I'm sure someone would be like,

they love it because it's like, no one made this car. Right. Alan Jackson says, I'm going to buy me a Mercury and cruise it up down the road. He probably wouldn't think about Mercury Lynx.

Lynx. If it's still... No. Maybe. Our family car growing up was a 1991 Toyota Previa. Oh, yeah. Minivan with sliding door only on one side. Oh, yeah.

I remember that. Wasn't that used to be common? Oh, yeah. I don't think there was even... I remember the first time I saw a minivan with doors on both sides. Wow. Y'all can get in and out of there. So yeah,

I never even thought about that switch they made, uh, when they went to the two door, it was, I remember we had a white van. Ours was white. And I remember I got paintballed one year by a senior prank. My dad was a high school principal.

So their senior prank was they paintballed our family vandalism straight up vandalism yeah yeah kind of funny i guess but there's some big dents and a lot of stains all over it but one day we were at the ballpark for my brother's baseball game and that sliding door just slid right off the car. Oh, I think you've told this story. In the middle of the parking lot. Yeah, and it had to be held on, bungee corded back on that car. Oh, yeah. That's stuff you don't see today.

It's like a whole door being held on. Clark Griswold's vacation. Yeah, yeah. It was crazy, man. Apparently, that was a big problem with that particular model car. Because my dad looked it up, and a lot of people were. The door just slid right off man you just put it right back on huh i love that the first car was invented by carl benz

of mercedes benz 1885 what about 10 miles per hour um one of those like you were like that's fine yeah you're like that motion sickness yeah it's a roller coaster um but it was so expensive nobody could really afford it the first car that most people could actually afford was the ford model t built here american 1908 it cost uh around 850 when it first came out. But by 1925, it was down to $260. Oh, wow. Because the invention

of the assembly line made everything much cheaper and much more easier to produce. I think my grandfather back then was, my grandfather was born in 1900. So by the time he was working, I think he was working

for like several dollars a week. Like, you know, maybe $10 or $15 a week like you know maybe 10 or 15 dollars a week yeah so that's pretty expensive 850 dollars in 1908 is 28 000 today okay so they're still more inflation yeah yeah but something to go from you know probably hundreds of thousands of dollars to 28 000 oh yeah that's way more would all for Ford cars be more than $28,000 today? I think they're all pretty expensive now. Yeah, if you get a brand new one, yeah, I'd say.

Low 30s. Do you guys want to guess what the top selling car of all time is? I'm going to say the Honda Accord. I'm going to go Toyota Corolla. Yeah, I could see that. Which one gets broken into the most? I don't know. I think that is a Toyota. Yeah, it might be a Corolla.

It might be Camry. Camry. It's either Corolla or Camry. Camry is nicer. It's Corolla. But broken into a lot? Most commonly Camry. Camry is nicer. It's Corolla. Oh, okay. But you guys named it, I think, most commonly sold cars, Toyota Corolla.

Somewhere I have on here the most broken into car. Oh, Toyota Corolla is the most sold? I drove a Toyota Corolla here today. Oh, yeah? See? I love that car. We call it the zipper. Yeah.

And we don't care about it at all. And you can really zip around in it. Uh-huh. Just crashing into stuff. Yeah. I mean, I try to not dent it up, but it is nice to. You just flip it. Yeah.

Get a ride home. Yeah. The 1994 Honda Accord's the most stolen car in history. What? Was there something specific about that car? I don't know. It's a good car. Just the type of guy you want to rob from.

That's the car they'd buy. Probably was just easy to take or maybe they were everywhere. Yeah. Easy to break into. So, new car smell. You guys a fan

of new car smell? Yeah. Yeah. It's great. Who isn't? China's not. That's who's not. A billion people.

Yeah. In China, they don't want any smell. So if a car has a new car smell, they don't want it. They think it's repugnant. So what do they do? They just try to get it out. I can't imagine all Chinese people feel that way, though.

There's a lot of air pollution over there. I think they're dealing with a lot of smells. Yeah, but here, they'll try to put it in. Yeah. The car smell exists. I sprayed many a new car smell sprays in my not new car. Yeah. But it's actually bad for you.

A long exposure to it can lead to cancer. How long would you be exposed to it? I don't know. All chemicals are bad, though, like that. Oh, that's true. All plug-ins and Febreze and all that's bad to breathe in. Household cleaning chemicals. They say cleaning chemicals are worse on your lungs than cigarettes.

Oh. Maybe the cigarette company put that out. Yeah. That sounds like Philip Morris propaganda right there, dude. I rented a car this weekend uh or to drive to go uh down to huntsville and uh it's and it was one where like you get it and you it's had the tank's half full and so then you're like all right well do y'all does anybody know that you're like does someone there know that that it's half full and then uh

it also smelled like cigarettes like like hard where you were like so we had to spend a whole day of just like door open everything was this like a churro thing no no it was like uh enterprise or something really yeah yeah but it's not good about it uh tan alexandro had a great joke about rental car company like it's the only thing that's like really not come along. I mean, they've come along now since he said that joke, but it was like,

you still would go to the counter and it's like a 45 minute process. Oh yeah. Where everything has gotten. So you're, you're on a plane in two seconds and all this other stuff. But like a rental car is the only one that's like, well, we need to see everything.

Well, they've really expedited it now. I can walk right to the car now yeah yeah yeah enterprise is pretty fast if you go like budget it's it's uh yeah i had to graduate out of budget because i was like i don't have the time i just don't have the time well now two rows like you know popular thing but i read some of the airbnbs are going down too. That's what they say. I still use them a lot. Yeah. But yeah, people are unhappy with them.

It's too much. Like, you got to clean the house. Like, people want a hotel where they can leave. Yeah. You can just leave. Yeah, exactly. When I'm at an Airbnb and they're like, please take out the trash, wash the dishes. I'm like, nah, nah.

That's why I rented this. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not not gonna wreck the place and you're like i'll pay for housekeeping to do something but i'm not gonna yeah don't have me running errands around here you may check the mail yeah and you probably have to if you're there for a week you will have to take the trash out but yeah when you're when you're done you're like yeah we're leaving so i think it's going down so i wonder if you know even toro which you're all juro is really great because it's like cheaper and you can rent a but it's all that stuff where it's like people are just in other people's cars and you're just you know the the

high-end versions of those things are great but the lower end versions of those things are real dicey and that's where stuff is getting you know like airbnb you can get a mansion for whatever and you're like you have a good time yeah are you going to get in someone's apartment and it's weird and you're you're going in just like it's a hotel and you're like well that's you're next to just like person that has a family yeah you know it's uncomfortable well guess what the most popular car color is i'm going blue i don't not make sense silver black silver is my guess i'll go black black black silver yeah white almost went white black's a close second I think I maybe even sent you the list of the order.

I mean, those two are by far the most popular. And then, well, in gray. They used to say if you had a red car, your insurance would be more expensive. Yeah. Why is that? I don't know. Because it seems like it's a sports

car. Because you're the kind of guy, if you have a red car, you're going to drive it. I can see that. Really profiling people based on the's a sports car. Because you're the kind of guy, if you have a red car, you're going to drive red. I can see that. Really profiling people based on the color of their car. I like that. Yeah, if you have a brown car, they're like, you don't even need insurance. They go, if you get hit, it's fine. You're doing yourself a favor, picking a brown color.

They say, I hope it got totaled that's what they said yeah i remember wanting a car to get told we get we had laura had a honda accord and we had a beginning of comedy and all this the white one the white one yeah everybody's rode in this car and uh and we're driving home we hit a deer and i remember it was like you just want the car to be totaled and someone's like it's not and you're like oh yeah and then you're like you're just gonna you're like you're paying for all this stuff so you're like a it would be fun to go pick a new car out but then you're like i mean it's never gonna run it's gonna be different i think but it actually ran fine i mean it was some of them you're like i don't know what totaled is because sometimes it could look like nothing and it's totaled or it can look like everything and

they're like no it's fine i thought totaled by definition means the cost to repair it is more than the cost, the value of it. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. So they don't really care what it looks like. They're like, now you better bungee that door on. Yeah. You know, I had a situation like that too.

When I first started selling pesticides, I worked for a year. I was driving a 1982 Buick LeSabre, real, real huge car. And then I bought a rental car. I had no credit and I couldn't get anyone to give me a loan. And finally a rental car company sold me a Dodge Avenger. I bought it. And then my job changed. They completely changed the job on me. They laid off half the company. I picked up all these things. And then I flooded the car. I drove into some water and flooded it. And I was like, I was like, if

this car gets totaled, I'm quitting this job. I didn't want to work the job, but I was like, if this car gets flooded, I'm quitting this job. And then they didn't total the car. So I kept the job for like four more years and then ended up getting another car carrying over a negative equity. I was in so much debt for all these raggedy cars working a job. I hated it. It was the worst. I sold that car and had to still spend money to get out of debt, but it was the greatest day of my life. When you said, if this car's total, I'm going to quit this job, no one expected you to follow up.'ve been worked four more years i know i know that's a long time i know you know i was so trapped and i could not figure it out because

i was drinking so i was also drunk half the time so but i was like i needed the car for the job but i needed the job for the car you know and i couldn it was like, I was just so trapped. A toxic relationship, wasn't it? Yeah. And I moved downtown, Charleston, and I figured I could work downtown and not even need a car. So I went carless for two years and it was great. But I love a car. What would you take, cabs or? I would just bike everywhere. I rode a bike all over the place. And then when I started doing comedy, I would rent cars to go places.

Yeah. So you're the one that shows up at every party just drenched oh yeah but i quit drinking so i wasn't even partying you know so i would just but i would show up a lot of times i'd carry a bag and have other clothes to change into out there you know what was the joke you had about the rental car with the uh cigarette and the rental oh yeah i, uh, I rented a car one time and they, they said, you know, I got the insurance that if I, you know, if I wrecked it, I didn't have to pay anything, but they were like, you can't smoke in here. If you smoke in here, it's 500 bucks, you know? And I wanted to smoke in there. So I wrecked it.

Smoking the car Yeah The total That's hilarious man I might have just heard That joke on Sirius Did you? Yeah Not from me Is it

It's not on Sirius? I don't know I think there are some jokes From me on Sirius That I don't know about Oh yeah Maybe I didn't Maybe I heard it

On someone else I have to think It'd be odd If you Heard Dusty on Sirius And didn't remember that it was him no no i i remember a joke about rental car i heard something else uh to another joke someone said about a totaling car like you can total the car for 11 dollars oh yeah like uh you know

i mean it's probably a lot of comics have rented cars and been in that situation yeah it's it's it's not it wasn't the same jokes but it's like uh like i want to smoke cigarettes in here yeah smoking and driving was always the best yeah i mean if you're a cigarette smoker and you don't i mean you don't smoke in the car i don't get it i mean i love it you experienced it this weekend yeah it just ruins the car though it does but it takes over the whole car if you can have a car i'd imagine i think that you're just like i don't you know it's your car yeah and you could be like i'm sure i wonder people have like their smoking car and then they're like a smoking jacket but a whole car but they have a car that's like just you can maybe an old beat-up car that you're like i I drive this around. It's my car.

You know, I'm sure like if you have a lot of people probably have two cars. You could have one that's like wherever the smoker is, smokes in it. And then the other one is like, you know, we got people coming over. Oh, yeah. My first car, I had a Volvo that I used to drive. My first comedy car I used to drive around in. And I would smoke so many cigars and that thing. I mean, it was, it's great to drive and smoke, but also I'd go,

I'd be up some Northern city where it'd be too cold. You know, you just sit in the car with it running. I just had my arm out smoking, have snow all over my arm. I mean, it was, it's the best. I love to just sit in a car and smoke. Yeah. Yeah. It's so fun well seat belts have come a long way since back in my day i vaguely remember just the lap belt where there wasn't even a thing and then uh once the three-point seat belt was invented that said it changed that's what it's called when there's a when was that and then well it was invented in 1959. It didn't become like a popular thing in cars until much later.

Like which was much later? Like the 80s, I think. Yeah. I think a lot of 70s cars still had just a lap belt. And nobody wore them. I do remember the seatbelt being like a suggestion. Like it's there, but we're like, what's this? I remember if you put on a seatbelt, you would offend the driver.

Yeah, yeah. That's hilarious. Man, I remember really growing up, and if something happened, I'd really want to put the seatbelt on, but I was so nervous because I think I didn't want the person. I still, to this day, like if I'm in a car, like a Uber or something,

and like I'm in the back and say i'm gonna buckle up i try to do it very i try to do it where there's a loud noise but the guy doesn't hear it because i think it's the guy like maybe made a turn or something and then i put it on and then it's like it's it's like a direct like challenge to him and i feel like he's gonna turn but like well you don't think i'm what you think i'm gonna give you any wreck because i would have that happen. But why would you just put it on as soon as you get in the car? It's like maybe I don't and I forget.

Because I'm in the back seat. I do in the front seat. I'm not always wearing a seatbelt. But it's just – I remember growing up and just being like, if you put it on, it was like, you think I'm going to wreck this car, dude? They'd be mad at you. I mean, they wouldn't wear this. I was like that.

And you, and so you'd be very uncomfortable wearing a seatbelt. It's been on. Yeah. You know, you'd be like, all right, I guess I'm not going to put it on.

I mean, I've made fun of people for wearing their seatbelt. Yeah. I mean, I remember when it became a law to have to do it. And we were so mad. Yeah. Well,

you know, you make fun of your daughter car seats my i mean you know like when you leave the hospital now with a baby they make sure you have a car seat apparently when i was a kid there wasn't even car seats they didn't my mom yeah when i was 21 months old my mom left me standing in the front seat of a car and i pulled it into drive and drove it into a pond you've been in water and cars a lot. I mean, I don't remember it, but that's my family talks about that story all the time. I drove through two barbed wire fences, went in between these trees that closed the door and I crashed into a pond.

Oh, my mom can't swim. She had to run down and get me out of there. Yeah, I was fine. Did the car sink? Yeah, the car. they did total that car. The first seatbelt law in the state of Alabama was 1991. Yeah. So I was nine years old.

Yeah. So in 1973, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration required all new cars to have a seatbelt interlock mechanism where you can't start the car until you got your seatbelt on and that quickly nobody was on board with that so that quickly uh yeah that's crazy try to do that to 1973 people's crazy yeah like that's 1973 we're like now yeah we just talked about 1973 they named their kids yeah uh that long name jacob jan grady john michael that's a 1973 person that's like he ain't telling me what to do yeah they're like my hands are full with all this beer to be passing in the seat dude there's a video going around of a small town in arkansas

the first year that they made drinking and driving illegal people's reactions are so funny i love that it's just this guy in a truck going, it's like living in a communist country. I mean, it's a crazy country you live in. You work for 12 hours. You can't get in the car and have one or two beers on the way. It's just as wild. I agree with that guy. And look where it's gone since that law. It's all gone downhill.

Yeah. He was right all along. Yeah, it's a tough look. No one thinks anybody should drink and drive at all. So it's the most horrible thing in the world. But it's like to that person's like, yeah, I you know i have a beer on the way home on the way home yeah i got an hour drive home and i've been working all day i just want one beer maybe two yeah yeah there's yeah and then it comes 12 13 after that real quick well then they required

all cars just to have seat belts and ron reagan ran for president 1980 on deregulation so when he took office he revoked that law saying you don't have to do it but then the insurance company sued because they said it's safer if you got a seatbelt and it went all the way to supreme court supreme court ruled in favor of the insurance companies so that's when all cars started to have to have seatbelts first seatbelt law was 1985 in New York. I don't like the beeping on the seatbelt. We had a car that, like recently, it's still around. We gave it to my nephew, might have it now.

But it was like, it just for some reason, it was an Infiniti. It just, the seatbelt, it won't beat when you don't have it off. It's the only car I've been in in a long time. And so it's like amazing. Because everyone does, and for some reason, it's like an old school, and it doesn't beat. There's probably a way to turn that off if you know how to control it. If you know how to do it. This one was off, but I mean, it never had it on. And, you know, it wasn't like a super old it wasn't like an

old it was by maybe a 2019 or something like but it was uh it never had it on and then uh it was like you know because like going through parking lots and like that kind of stuff you're just not putting your seatbelt on for like two seconds uh it's so great yeah my mom had a car where you could you you open the door and then the seat belt like runs and then when you close it it puts it oh i remember that i felt i think i might have had that felt pretty fancy i mean it was annoying it was very hung up on it yeah yeah like choking it would get annoying like you would just get hit by it sometimes like you like bend down grab something and just get jerked back. Yeah.

But it was, yeah, it was very cool. Buick Regal, I think, was my first car that had power windows. Okay. I remember having that. I was probably right when I started dating Laura. So then I was 21. Buick Regal. That's what Tupac talked about a Buick Regal in a song, didn't he?

I don't know. That's why he got it We called it The real car car Cause they're Mr. Regal In wrestling Was the real man's van So we called it

The real car car Plus your cars Had names Sounds like Yeah those did Not anymore But back then When your car

Was kind of beat up You had to add Something to it The nicer the car Is the less likely You are to name it Yeah You gotta have A little When you got Something that's A of beat up, you had to add something to it. The nicer the car is, the less likely you are to need. Yeah. You got to have a little, when you got something that's a little beat up and you're like,

it deserves a name. That's true. I was going to ask you, even you, but Dusty, I'm sure has many examples of it. Been in a wreck where your seat, where your airbags gone off.

I've never had the airbags deployed. I haven't either. I've had, I've been in wrecks where they probably should have been, but the car was not nice enough. Yeah. My Buerigo was totaled and that was, and I love that car. And I got hit T-bone. Someone ran an intersection and hit me.

And, but I don't know if he even had airbags or. Well, my car flipped for sure. They came out. Yeah. Okay. I hope they did yeah i was totally fine i mean i you know to i think i rolled the car completely one time because both of the side mirrors were broken off but it landed on the roof i mean i was totally fine well when you were a baby

if that airbag would have came out oh yeah not bad Not good. Yeah, that's what they say. Like, the pond was the only thing that saved me, they said. Like, if I had hit one of those trees, I probably would have went into the windshield. Yeah. Were you wearing your seatbelt, though, when your car flipped? No, no. Were you drinking at 21 months old? Tough to say.

Yeah. You know? In Alabama, 21 is 21. Yeah, exactly. That was the time where if the kid probably put a little brandy in the kid's mouth yeah calm it down a bit yeah different times my mom did drink a bit yeah back in the day so who knows yeah yeah you were just thinking as you go i think i could drive this car yeah yeah yeah i mean i i don't know i mean that's what they just told me i walked over grabbed it pulled drive, and it just, that's before you had to push the brake in to get it out of gear.

Yeah. Your mom watched it. Dustin. Yeah. Come on back here with that car. I was in the car. Dustin Slay. She's your full name.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, she's, yeah. Dustin Richard Slay. They say that was the nicest car they ever owned that I wrecked. Awfully convenient for the story, but that was the nicest car they ever owned that I wrecked. Awfully convenient for the story. That was the nicest car they ever had. Well, I mean, we could probably go look at it.

It was like a Buick 88 or something is what it was called. 98 maybe. That wasn't the year of the car. Delta 88? Yeah, that's it. And it had power windows. Yeah, when were you born? 86? 82.

82. So that wasn't the year of the car. Oh. That was Oldsmobile 88. Yeah. And they had, yeah, they said when they were, the insurance guy was out to see if he was going to total it. Probably the ninth generation. The windshield wipers just came on out of nowhere.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I didn't know this. Your airbags will go off different. If you have a seatbelt on, you got to be going faster before your airbags go off than if you don't have a seatbelt on. So if you had a wall, like a brick wall,

you don't have a seatbelt on, it'll go off if you're going 10 to 12 miles per hour. Oh, okay. But if you had your seatbelt on, you'd have to be going 16 miles per hour for that deploy. Oh, interesting. Because the seatbelt would save you.

I was at a wreck once with my brother. He was probably 17, which means I was 12 or 13. And he hit this car in front of him. And that car hit the car in front of him. So it was that car hit the car in front of it so it's three car wrecks we all pull over the first car he hit was this elderly couple they were in their 90s wow they had bought a new car that morning their first new car that they'd ever bought yeah oh my gosh the oldest couple you've ever seen gets out of the car of her brother's like oh no dude now the woman in front of him that they hit she gets out and she looks at our cars she goes i'm gonna tell y'all something

i don't have insurance i don't have a license i gotta pick up my kids i'm gone peels out of there so i mean my brother just talked to the cops as if that first lady never even existed yeah they just pretend that she wasn't even involved, you know? Yeah. I don't know. Whose fault was it? It was my brother's fault.

Yeah. You know, he was a kid. Yeah. That first lady is me though. I've been there. Not, never not had a license,

but I got to get out of here. Yeah. I can't be around here with the cops. Yeah. I don't know how to say this right now, but I've said too much. I wasn't here. Yeah.

I did. I had hit, I had had so many wrecks for a while. My insurance got up to like $400 a month, $500 a month. And that's when I was like really needed to sell the car. But I hit these one, this one lady in Orangeburg, South Carolina, and she got out, she had a baby. I didn't hit her her bad there was really no damage to the car and like she felt like it was like she was gonna let she set the baby up on the car in the car seat and they she said well i don't see any damage but i gotta get my boyfriend so he comes and he looks not happy and i think there's no way this guy's gonna let me go and then after a little bit, he goes, ah, you good, man. And then the car seat, just then the car seat falls off the car and lands face first on the ground. They pick the baby up. Now the car seat, he's strapped in.

So the car seat protects the kid, but the kid's screaming. And I'm just like, you know, I'm like, well, now that this has happened, am I still good? Yeah. And I got to get out of there. I talked to a few people out of calling the police on me because I'm like, my insurance is so high. I just cannot handle this. Yeah. I got a lady.

One lady let me buff. I go, I said, I bet you can get this buffed out. I said, once you call, see what it costs and I'll pay you for it. And she called and I did pay her for the buffing. So she trusted me. But I was like, I cannot have this go on my insurance. The cars, so funny, the cars like really smashed in. I think you probably buffed that out.

Are you not a good driver? Well, I just think it was because I was drinking a lot. And I didn't wreck a lot drinking, but I was hung over all the time. And I was just, I was just, and I was driving driving for work so i was constantly on the road yeah yeah having accidents in parking lots all the time i just was like i was having i was my 20s were rough you get fired up driving them but now i'm you know i'm all right you know i'm not having i mean i'm i get fired up but uh-huh i'm like my my sense you're in control yeah my first wreck was uh you're talking about saturn my old blue mazda 66 uh britney uh

rothman that i went to high school with i thought that was the name of the car no no no she grew up to high school with and uh i was going to her house and i was following her and then she had a saturn she had like a brand new saturn which was i mean it was was a cool car because it was brand i mean it was brand new depending on the model yeah and then uh it's and then i like hit her in the back rear ended and it was and then i've never had a big dent in the front of my car and her car was like because it was like a newer car that was like that plastic oh the car was like, cause it was like a newer car. That was like that plastic. Oh, the gray bumpers.

Yeah. Yeah. It was like, it just like popped it out. And then, I mean, I just, then my car now just had a dent for the remaining of that car's existence. Yeah. Yeah. I mean the, the, the Saturn had, they had, yeah, the plastic ones that could pop out and then they had gray, they call them 15 mile per hour or five mile per hour bumpers

that if you got hit five miles per hour or less it wouldn't do anything to the car yeah it's pretty good that car was what i drove the majority of my drinking and driving days and it was a lifesaver yeah i bumped a lot of stuff that's what saturn should have said and they'd probably still be in business yeah yeah the car for the drinker and driver. Yeah. Go to this town. You see this video. It's all Saturns. It's like bumper cars. You're just trying to get home from work.

You're in a rural area. Have no cabs around. For Uber invented. Yeah. Yeah. But that Buick LeSabre, though, on the other hand, that 1984 Buick. I mean, that thing was a boat and I drove it around. I mean, that was a car I got after I wrecked the Saturn.

And so that was like my punishment almost for. I mean, it's a nice looking car if it looks good, but it was it was pretty wore out. Anytime we look up these old cars, these are like refurbished. Yeah. I mean, I wish I had that car. They never looked that as nice as these pictures. But I used to get pulled over all the time in that car. I got pulled over one time, really, really drunk. And I kept handing, like I had a stack of papers. The cop was looking for my registration and I kept flipping. I go, is this it? He goes, no. And I'm flipping. I go, is this it? He goes, no. And I'm flipping. I go, is this it? He goes, you just showed me that. He goes, no. And I flip back. I go, is this it? He goes, you just showed me that. And the guy ended up giving me a speeding ticket and a like no registration ticket. And I was so thankful to him that my friend was like, don't be that thankful. You seem court, he had left the force. So I got completely out of it. I think this guy was fed up being a cop and he's like, I know this guy isn't in danger to everyone,

but I don't care because I'm quitting. I think that guy was on a two week notice. Well, yeah, you maybe have some likability that people just like you and they go, all right. I got pulled over a couple of times like that. I'm very fortunate. I don't, I mean, I like to laugh and joke about the time drinking, but I don't, I'm not for it. I don't support it. I'm not telling people to do it. You're not proud of it.

No, it was very bad. It was very bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I survived and I didn't hurt anyone else. So I feel very fortunate and it's funny to me now. Yeah. You know what I think about a lot? I,

I, uh, drive through a toll booth. This is years ago. And I, I, I know that toll booths were coming up. So I got a bunch of quarters.

I had just like a huge little knapsack of quarters and it was my turn to pay. And it was like, I don't know. It was way more than I thought. I was like $13. Oh, wow. There's a line turn to pay and it was like i don't know it was way more than i thought i was like 13 oh wow there's a line behind me so like i start counting out like 13 and i just i just grab a handful of quarters and i like gave it to the woman and she starts as she's looking through it she goes did you just did you count this out as you just hand me a handful of quarters and i just look at her and go, I'm sorry.

And I didn't even think about like rude that was for me to just be like, here, just take this, just threw it at her. I think about her all the time. You were nervous. I was nervous. I was holding up the line. Yeah. So I was like, I'll just in my head.

I was like, I'll just give her, you know, I'll pay a little more. Just hand her a handful of it. But she of it. Did you give her the right amount? Way more. Oh, yeah. She sat there and counted it out and then gave me the change. Yeah. Gave me a mean look. Yeah. Well, Roe Rage is on the rise all across America. A lot of people maybe need better help.

Ooh. They do. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Yeah, sometimes in life we face with tough choices and the path forward is not always clear. I mean, road rage would help. It's like how to calm yourself down. How to, you know, you don't want to live like that. Even when they're doing it, they don't want to, I don't, they're not happy to be just in some,

just screaming at every time you walk out and just, yeah. And there has to be a point where you go like, there's no way other people live like this. If you've had that thought, that's when you need to go to better help. You have to go. There's no way people feel this. It's a few incidents today. Yeah. Yeah. It's the same way of feeling healthy and all that. You got to go. There's no one that believes it. If you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It is entirely online that makes it convenient, flexible, and can fit to any schedule.

How do you even get that figured out? Yeah, they didn't have radars back then. It was four miles an hour when you corner. You can only go four miles an hour and turn in a corner. I know, but how do you even. How do they judge your speed back then? How do you judge your speed? Yeah.

How would you know? It's before the radar. You're like, this guy's getting going. How would you know? Would it be, would the cop pace it? Maybe the cop paces it with, you know, he's like, he starts walking and then the horse is like getting a little bit ahead. You go, whoa.

He goes, I know that I walk at three miles an hour. You shouldn't be that far ahead of me. Yeah. Like you could pace it off because how would you ever know that you can only go how fast can a horse go 700 miles like who knows no one knows it's their uh yeah radar technology was not developed until 1935 how would they even give them a a number i don't know. They collect the guy at 12 miles an hour, or at least that's what they said he was going.

They arrested him, took him to jail. That means they would have to, like I was saying, they'd have to run it. But I mean, I don't even know. Borderline, I don't know how numbers are invented at this point. How do they go 8 miles per hour? You had to be a mathematician to be a cop back then, it sounds like. Yeah, were they doing

miles per hour back then? Before that? I think so. I guess. Yeah. I guess you'd say like you went on a big. Doing donuts on their horses out here. Yeah.

They had to put a stop to it. I don't know how you're. I think you'd have to walk it or run it. Do you guys ever do that? Donuts? Oh, yeah. My buddy used to do this thing where he put the car in reverse and then he would really floor it and spin the front of the car around. I never did it.

I just wasn't a rule breaker. I would feel too uncomfortable being like, you're like, I don't want to get in trouble, and then you're ruining someone's parking lot. I was just in the car for that. Yeah, I wouldn't do that to my own car. Yeah, ruining someone's parking lot. I was just in the car for that. Yeah, I wouldn't do that to my own car. Yeah, ruin someone's parking lot. I was afraid I'd break my car and then not have one.

Street racing in Nashville has become a big issue lately. Is it? Oh, yeah. It's just someone calls the 311 all the time on them. Whatever, then what's the Nashville having now? Tell you, this city used to be great. He goes, hi, Brian Bates again. My mirror's up loud, revving up. Whatever. What's the Nashville number? This city used to be great. Hi. Brian Bates again.

Yes. I'm here sub loud revving up and I'm trying to go to bed sir it's eight o'clock. I'm trying to get me down for a nap. Miles per hour first came into common usage

with the regular stage coaches in the 18th century as running the stages on time required a timetable. So miles per hour is used in 1700s. But I mean, how, like, so you're a regular person. You're me. Yeah.

I'm on a horse and you can't go eight miles per hour. How are they even remotely, like, you know, when the cop goes, I got you going this amount of speed. Back then you're like what have you just said i don't think i was maybe they had a distance measured out where they were like we know from here to here is a quarter mile and it took you this long to get there and they just were you know they knew the math but you got to follow i mean that means your your speed traps are all i think the speed trap is they just kind of feel you're going a little.

They just kind of know what the right speed looks like. Yeah. And they just kind of feel it out. Yeah. It has to be how they do it. Yeah. And they go, oh, and maybe that's where the whoa comes from. Whoa.

Yeah. So in the early 19th century, with the advent of the railroads, speed became significantly higher. Though at one time, many people thought that all passengers would asphyxiate if the trains went over 20 miles per hour. What does that mean? Like you would choke to death. Or you wouldn't be able to breathe if you went faster than 20 miles per hour. I was choked up by that word as well yeah so i didn't go there's a lot of things i was i was like what well that's like choke is an easier

that word just say that yeah yeah it's a jarring word to see coming up in a sentence i wouldn't have never even said it looks like asphyxiate it looks like a mishmash asphyxiate yeah i would have never said why the ph needs to make the F sound when we already have an F. I think it's just nice. I don't know. It's a pretty simple dude. It makes it a little more fancy. Even the word phonics is a P-H.

There's no need for that. Did you know that when you said it? What did he say? I mean, as I was saying it, I realized it was kind of funny. He said using a PH is a little fancier. Oh, yeah. Fancy is with an F. Yeah.

That's really smart. Fancy's really not, that fancy, fancy's not fancy. If you see something's written as fancy, you don't think, ooh. Oh, but sophisticated. Yes. Is a PH. But fancy, even don't think. Oh, but sophisticated. Yes. Is a P-H. But fancy, even though fancy means fancy. If you saw a sign that said, we are fancy.

And that's how usually it's used. Right. It's, you wouldn't think. It'd be like a tongue in cheek joke. Yeah. It's like when you see gourmet on a restaurant. Yeah. It's probably not.

Yeah. Well, I don't know about that. Don't drag gourmet. Yeah. I don't think. Yeah. Well, I don't know about that. Don't drag gourmet in. Yeah. I don't think gourmet should be dragged in with that. I disagree. I'm sorry. What are you doing, Aaron?

Sorry about that. I think gourmet. No. Well, we didn't grow up with cooks, you know? So it's- My personal chef was gourmet. Yeah. I know that much.

And you just knew it. He goes, we had gourmet burgers. And you're like, we had that last week. And you yell at your chef. You call this gourmet? You got gourmet burgers. And you're like, we had that last week. And you yell at your shit. You call this gourmet? And then you go sit in your double van door. And that's when it came off. And you have to sit in.

They go, well, we can see you, Aaron. The door doesn't work. Did you ever think it was odd that cars are made that can go so much faster than what the law allows? Yeah. Yeah. Why do they allow that? I don't know. I mean, what the law allows. Yeah. Why do they allow that? I don't know. I mean, it just seems so counterintuitive.

Yeah, seems like something should have been looked up. I'm joking. Yeah, I just thought about it. Yeah. But what's the word? Fancy. Circumstances. I'm blanking on the word.

Like sometimes there's different speeds. Yeah, extenuating circumstances. Like in Texas, you can drive like 85. There's a meteor coming to the earth. You're allowed to break the speed limit a little bit and drive faster. What you have to do is then there's like merging. I get a lot of that with Laura. Like, why are you going so fast?

She's like, because you're not looking around what's going on. Yeah. I got a guy behind me that wants to apparently go 140 miles an hour. And then I have to stay up this speed to get out of this lane eventually. But the lane's too backed up. Like this dude is on top of me. So, you know, it's like, there's a lot, we're getting a lot of like, let me see what's going on.

Yeah. Yeah. You see what I'm working with out here. I'm actually doing unbelievable. Are you merging? When you're merging, you working with out here. I'm actually doing unbelievable. Are you merging? When you're merging, you got to speed up. I'm actually doing great out here. I'm crushing it right now.

I think every car around me likes me. That is the shame of it all when you're doing, you're making real good moves out on the interstate, but like the people riding with you. Don't appreciate it. Don't appreciate it and call you like a maniac and stuff like that and you're like that's what i did to dusty once yeah yeah one time though of all the times he rode with me well you pulled a crazy maneuver if i remember correctly and then

after hearing everything that went down today you are a maniac as a driver i don't know if i would like to drive i think i've said this before but called Dusty a maniac and it was quiet in the car for maybe 30 minutes. And then Dusty just goes, maniac. He's still thinking about it. Really rubbed in the wrong way. Do you know how many people have been,

had their car be submerged in water in life? I mean, the percentage has got to be a half percent. Michael Scott, Roscoe P. Coltrane. Yeah, it's got to be just...

Only people in TV shows. It's got to be no one and it's you. And you've done it. You've done it twice. And... Twice that it couldn't recover from.

I've... Yeah. Driven in some water a few times. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty wild. Yeah.

I mean, people just don't... Their cars don't end up in water. And you don't meet a person that has. But I'd imagine if you meet a person that's done it once, they've probably done it twice. Yeah. You know what? I did flip into a marsh.

That makes three times. Oh, yeah. Oh, I didn't. I was, that's the, I was thinking about the only two times was the. Oh, no. When I, when the Dodge Avenger, I drove it, Charleston had really flooded and it was nighttime and I drove into some. Well, don't blame the topography of the city you're in. Charleston's near the ocean.

Yeah. It's a wet city. Global warming. You really got to go. I drove the car into water and they wouldn't, the tow truck company wouldn't come tow the car as long as it was in the water. So I went to this pizza place where all these college students were at.

You had to get out and walk in the water? Yeah. Like just how deep was it? It was like knee high. Yeah. The whole place was flooded. I went to this pizza place and I told them that I would buy them beer, a few pitchers of beer, if they would help me push the car out. So we pushed it out.

The tow truck came, took the car, and we went back to the pizza place and drank. And without realizing that I didn't have a way home. Yeah. And I just got a ride home with a stranger. And it was great. And you had to buy. Yeah, I bought pitchers for people. And we just sat in a Norm's Pizza place in downtown Charleston.

And just had a good time. Yeah, my car's gone. I'm like, just drinking my problems away. Your life falling apart behind you. Yeah. I have another car question. So tires, get flat tires. Why is it a tire just made completely of rubber?

What do you mean? Well, there's air in it. What if it was just all rubber? Then you'd never have flat tire. I think it would be real rough. Yeah. It would be like when you're- Oh, like cushioning, like a shoe.

Yeah. Like a sole. Like once it pierces a certain way, then you're going to have a flat tire because then the air comes out. But if it was all rubber, what would happen? What if they've never thought about that and they go, huh? Yeah. Right now, some guy's like, yeah, why don't we do that? I bet it tears apart immediately i think

it just would be too rough like when you're driving to just be like any bump you hit that's what i think it uh the air absorbs shock and provides a way smoother ride than it would be if it were if it were i bet you could do that yeah I think I've come up with something. Now they have the fixed, like these tires that are supposed to be, like they kind of can get flats. I've got a lot of flats, a lot of construction going on in Nashville. Yeah. And so you end up getting a lot of flats. I do.

There are solid tires for like forklifts and stuff. They use solid tires. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You've seen like though like uh because those are heavy though you can't be on air on a yeah you can't yeah you don't be at a forklift like at a pull it into a gas station put air in there yeah you gotta be there for three hours i had to put air in my car the other day and uh i was getting nervous that it's going to just the tire is going to go like it's too full yeah yeah and they have a tire gauge there but i don't know how much air is supposed to be in there yeah i see the tire gauge on the thing

but this the screen was so messed up you couldn't really read i was like kind of guessing the get the the air compressors at a gas station are always so wrecked yeah it's like who's wrecking these things yeah just get your air and get out of it yeah yeah it's always crowded i've i mean i got this one good but i mean i had a i think i might have said it on this i had one day where it was like i just couldn't find one without a line yeah and you're like what are we doing today? It was just a day of all of us. And if there's so much demand, let's get some more of these things. I went yesterday.

I went to the biggest Buc-ee's in the world. The new one that just opened in Sevierville. Crazy big. I got off the interstate. Immediately regretted it. It took 45 minutes to park. Wow. It was like driving into Disney World.

Yeah. That's going to rival Dollywood out there. I mean, it is crazy. Yeah. They're a huge roundabout where, I mean, I'm not going to go again. You would need to, you got to go at like two in the morning. Yeah. I went at 1 p.m. on a Sunday.

Yeah, yeah. A week after it opened. I mean, i regretted it immediately but i was trapped in line oh you're catching the church crowd in there catching everybody in severe we'll go to see the new buckies yeah we went inside it was um it was almost unwalkable in there oh really how packed it was oh dude still got some stuff yeah i was like whoa we're here. Yeah. I know this.

I thought it was kind of funny. When the first radios were installed in cars, they had a lot of static. So to cut down on static, spark plugs were fitted with a suppressor that actually downgraded the performance of the engine. So there was a fine balance between getting good radio reception and having a car that ran well. So you had to decide whether you wanted to listen to something or your car drive well. Well, that's a classic Aaron Tippin song, you know? Ain't nothing wrong with the radio.

You guys know that song? No. Ain't nothing wrong with the radio. You know that one? I do know the song. Is that what he's referring to? Well, he's talking about how raggedy his car is, but the radio still works.

But the radio's good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ain't nothing wrong with the radio. AM radio is like, I'll listen to that sometimes, and it's like, man, it just goes out. I have like, 1025 goes out here to sports, and you're like, I mean, radio is just like, why?

How does it? 1025 is an FM channel, and it's like, you is an FM channel and it's like you could be driving and it just starts going out and you're like I think their tower is like north of Nashville so

it's just at this point you're like radio is gonna just do itself out with going it can't get anywhere yeah between commercials and

well seriously how did serious they were supposed to be no commercials was the the deal and it's i mean they could go on long stretches but it's a lot of commercial talk radio yeah talk radio is the worst and it'd be serious was supposed to be like what you're paying commercials are they're sneaking their way back everywhere even in in the even like netflix is talking about having yeah ads now. Hulu has ads.

I don't think they can make enough money with... Just subscribers. I feel like they could, but they're putting out too much stuff. But then I guess too many people are watching stuff. Aaron Tippin performed the song, There Ain't Nothin' Wrong With The Radio, with Alvin and the Chipmunks on their 1992 album, Chipmunks in low places in this version simon repeatedly attempts to correct the song's

grammar singing there isn't anything wrong with the radio tippin then explains that the song is supposed to have grammatical errors because it's country all right there you are tippin gets it yeah oh it's supposed to have yeah Yeah, I do remember him, man. Working man. Working man's PhD. Yeah. There was a woman in Chicago who got $105,000 worth of parking tickets. Her ex-boyfriend registered the car in her name without her permission and then parked it at O'Hare Airport where it racked up 678 parking tickets over a two-year period.

So they went to court about it, and they finally settled. And she got a bill for $4,470. How would she still get a bill? That guy, did nothing happen to that guy? I guess not. Could you be like, well, he parked it there. I guess you could maybe prove it. Maybe, I don't know, maybe he was like, I didn't register this in her name. It's in her name.

She's just saying that. Huh. All right. All right. That's it. There it is. There it is. We did it.
