The Nateland Podcast - 158: #158 Australia (And a Little New Zealand)

Episode Date: July 26, 2023

This week, the guys learn about the interrobang, discuss the differences between Krystal and White Castle, and debate whether the ears are part of the face. Then, to help Nate prepare for his trip to Australia and New Zealand, they learn about the lands down under.  

All right, today's episode of the Nate Land Podcast is brought to you by Fabric, HelloFresh, Indeed, and Electric Bikes. Hello, folks, and hey, bear. Welcome to the podcast. I'm Dusty Slay, and I'm here with Brian Bates and Aaron Weber. Nate Bargatze will be joining us soon, but we're going to go ahead and get started without him. Let's do it. Where's your hat? I decided to do a hatless podcast how does it feel you see a lot of my forehead it's odd looking at you without a hat is it because a lot of people don't know

this you do wear a hat on stage you wear it in public but you also wear it all the time in your private life yeah that's true so this is an odd look for sure is it weird i don't like it should i get a hat no no no you keep it. I'll get a hat. You should keep it and honestly see if Nate notices. I was about to say, see if Nate even notices. All right. Well, I bet he will. I mean, Abigail just noticed.

She goes, Dusty, do you want a hat? Well, she's more perceptive than Nate, I think. He knows Nate, dude. He gets in his own world. He doesn't even look at us half the podcast. Half the podcast, he's looking between me and Dusty. That's true. At his own poster. At his own world. He doesn't even look at us half the podcast. Half the podcast, he's looking between me and Dusty. That's true, at his own poster. At his own poster.

At his reflection in the poster behind us. I'd be surprised if he doesn't even notice. Well, we'll see. Now I feel like his girlfriend. I hope he notices my hair's a little different. Oh, that's good. So this episode comes out while Nate is in Australia.

Wow. So it comes out July 26, I believe. So do you guys know where you've just been? Yeah, I was just in. Oh, oh, oh, okay. So I would have been just in Orlando, Florida, I think. How'd it go? Oh, so good.

You like Florida. I do like Florida. I did a lot of walking around with my shirt off out in public. And by the time I go to Florida, though, I will be pretty tanned. I like to sit out in the backyard in a chair and get a tan. Oh, you're tanning naturally now? Yeah, sometimes I'll pass out in my chair out back. You pass out in the sun?

It's so comfortable out there that I'll fall asleep. I get that. Well, I hope you have fun in Florida. I had a great time. Okay. I had and will have a good time. I was in Ohio ohio oh where at mineral city ohio nice yeah hanging out there where is that i don't know let's get in these

comments what about you where are you well i don't think i was anywhere maybe i was working at a corporate corporate yeah yeah yeah oh how though i, I just booked a flight to Columbus. Ohio's got a lot of big cities. There's a lot of options. Columbus is like the sixth biggest city in the country. Do you know that? Deceptively big. Deceptively big.

Again, because I always base it on sports teams. They have a soccer team up late. They have an NHL team. Okay, yep. No football, no baseball. None of the ones you care about. And no basketball., no baseball. None of the ones you care about. There you go. None of the ones you care about.

Whereas, you know, Cincinnati's got football and baseball. Cleveland's got that. And it's bigger than both of them. If you don't have football, basketball, or baseball, I consider that a no sports city. Wow. So you don't count the Preds for us. Now, the Preds are an exception okay okay it's the only hockey team that's a real sport obviously it's a real sport but uh you know just growing up there was three three sports football baseball basketball that was it yeah and the soccer kids were kind of the kids that

played soccer yeah you'd be like yeah i played soccer when i was younger and my dad often discouraged it well i think my dad would rather me be on drugs than play soccer soccer if you ever play golf no would you ever, I don't think so. Yeah. I've done a little putt-putt here and there, but I don't even really enjoy it. Well, that's half of it. Yeah. That's half of golf. Yeah, but I don't know that I really enjoyed it. No.

You wouldn't have fun playing with me and Brian? Very casual game? All right, I will say- Smoking cigars? Hitting balls? I like to sit in a shade to have a cigar, but- You're in the golf cart. Yeah. Shaded. I like to sit in a shade to have a cigar. You're in the golf cart, shaded.

If it were the three of us and there were nobody coming up behind us to play, I think I could get into it. I understand the anxiety of that, but if you get to a point where there's no one behind you, you're not in a rush, it's pretty great. Yeah. Yeah, you would have fun. You would hit it well once and you'd be like, oh, I get it. That was fun to do i'm a little afraid in a way that i might enjoy it and then might be like oh i'd like to do that again and then i'm what am i golfer now yeah yeah when i grew up that was what the rich people did our family

thought golf that's snobby rich people uh-huh i still think that yeah yeah This podcast doesn't help. Yeah. No, I mean, this is, this is like, this is a part-time golfing podcast. You know what I mean? It's a comedy podcast, but a lot of golf talk goes on here. That's true. Like last, the last episode we did, we're doing two in one day here. The last episode we recorded, Nate was headed off to do like, so when we gave our dates at the end you were like I'm going to this place I'm going to this and Nate was like I'm going golfing you know it's like our gig that's what you said you transitioned to a professional golfer at this point yeah I think if Nate wins

celebrity golf I think he quits comedy and becomes a full-time golfer yeah I think that would be him living the dream for sure yeah I can't knock him How weird would it be if the three of us were sitting like this when it was just the three of us? At a restaurant? I'm thinking this makes sense because we're waiting on Nate to take his seat. But if the three of us sat down at a restaurant like this, you'd be like, those people are insane, dude. Yeah.

I've looked. Let me ask you this. Crazy blocking. I tweeted about this. We went to a restaurant the other night. I don't follow you on Twitter. Keep going. That's why I'm telling it,

because I know this will be fresh to you. And it was some crazy, this happens all the time, some crazy wait. And then we have to ask, could we sit at the bar? And they're like, oh yeah, there's plenty of seating at the bar.

You can go sit immediately. But they never, unless you ask, like how bad do you think I need to look at my wife's face that I wouldn't rather just sit at the bar and eat immediately than wait three and a half hours for a table? Well, three and a half hours. But I think people do like to sit at a booth across from each other. Ideally, but not for a long week. I think if you're alone, they will offer the bar. They almost push the bar.

Oh, I know. I have 48 years of experience. Yeah. Yeah. He's had a lot of meals at bars. Who are you to tell me what they do to single people? I like the,

uh, the bar at a Waffle House. You ever eat at the bar at a Waffle House? That's what I usually do. Yes. Does he make fun of me for doing it? Really? Did I make fun of you?

I do it sometimes. I just talked about it. Yeah. I sit there. I feel like we're taking a booth. It depends on how busy it is. And, and, And you're like, you mean you sit at the bar instead of sitting in one of the booths? Oh, well, I'm sorry. Yeah. So watch your tongue. What I don't like is when you're in more than two people and you have to sit at a bar. Then it's tough to have

conversation. Yes, it is. You know, it's like for the, if we're sitting in a bar like this, it's like, Dusty, you're never going to talk to brian because i'm in the middle what are your feelings on couples sitting on the same side of the booth as each other i think they should be taken out back i love it i do it and i love it you do it you sit same side with rue okay i dated one girl and we would do that we would get we would drink on our lunch break and we would go and sit on the same side of the booth we were in love and then we broke up and she got married right after so i think i was in love with her and she was seeing she was in love with love she was seeing me on the side yeah i didn't mind it though sitting on the same side of the booth yeah and did you hold hands did you

yeah i think we were like up in it we were like like, you know what I mean? Like, you know, it's like, you know, those couples that they're like 50 years old and they're like still like real in love. Yeah, yeah. I don't like it. 50 years old or 50 years married? Let's say 50 years married. Okay. My wife and I, I'm 50 and we still love each other. I don't mean that you love each other.

I mean, like they still- Lovey-dovey? Yeah, and they make jokes with each other about making love and whatnot. Still in the honeymoon phase. Yeah, and it's like, all right, guys, grow up. Right. You know what I mean? It's a phase for a reason.

You move on, you grow up. Yeah. Become an adult. Yeah, you don't have to dislike each other, but- Puppy love. That's what they call it yeah try to move past it now my only problem when i sit at the bar at waffle house if i get too close that cash register the whole time i'm eating there's people up there paying so they're just

leaning right over you you know with their little little checks right right i never i always just leave cash on the table at waffleaffle House. I like that. I like the feeling. I think that's a power move, dude. Leave cash. You just get up and leave and go see you. Yeah. Just leave it right there.

I like that, too. Yeah, it's a good feeling, dude. I like that, too. What's your order at Waffle House? I get a, well, you want to get into it? I'll get into it. Well, I'll share mine. Okay.

I get the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with a waffle. And I get the hash browns covered. And that's it. And a black coffee. Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich? Or you get bacon, eggs, and cheese? It's called like, it's like the Texas toast sandwich. Oh, yeah.

I like that too. I don't get the bacon on there, but I like an egg and cheese. I also get the bacon, egg and cheese hash brown bowl sometimes, which is a lot of fun. I do the all-star special. There you go. That pretty much covers all of it. Yeah. You get a waffle on there too.

Yeah. Yeah. It comes with it. Good stuff. I like a patty melt at the huddle house with hash browns. A huddle house. I love the huddle house. Huddle house is either the beginning or the end of a bad day.

I feel like if you're eating at a huddle house, you're either like, this day is going to be rough or I'm cooling down after a hard day. Well, I'll say that's true. When I lived in Charleston on James Island, we had a huddle house. There was no waffle house at the time. So my drives home from the bars, it would stop at the huddle house. was no waffle house at the time so my drives home from the bars it would stop at the huddle house yeah so you're right i was cooling down from uh from a hard day i feel like huddle house is like the white castle of waffle house it's it's similar to um crystal like well you know but it's a little bit more yeah but i i would say it's the crystal the white house is or white castle is the more prestigious oh it is I would say it's the crystal. The White House or White Castle is the more prestigious.

Oh, it is. I think so. It's got a movie about it. They're a little more rare. We grew up with crystal. But yeah, I think White Castle. But even then you knew crystal was kind of trash food. For sure.

It was kind of like, I'm at rock bottom. Let's have crystal. Yeah. But the White Castle in Nashville are even worse. Maybe. Maybe this is all about Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. That kind of raised the brain. But when you do get a movie, it's not Harold and Kumar go to Crystal.

That's a much different movie. That is a much different film. I just don't see many huddle houses these days. Yeah. Harold and Kumar go to Crystal, the whole movie is police body cam footage. That's what it is. Like it is a dark movie. Yeah.

The, uh, you know, um, I think huddle house, you know, they take time to find a good location and, you know,

really they want a good, good spot. They won't just plop it down anywhere like a waffle house. Yeah. Why? Yeah. By the way, just coffee.

Coffee's the perfect temperature for about five seconds it's too hot to drink and then you you blink and it's ice cold yeah i can't figure it out i can't get the right temperature you need a thicker mug you think it's about the mug yeah that's a thin mug it's a nageline mug isn't it oh nate we were just getting rolling oh man all right it's good to see you, dude. Look who's back. Who's back? No hat.

We covered a lot of... Who are you talking about? I'm not wearing a hat. Oh, yeah. I'm going no hat. Looks good. I like it. I think it's a good look.

You just chose to go hatless. I just chose it. And then, because I was late, I felt I needed a dessert dominant. I didn't think I had no hat. It hurts that. I i mean you're all bundled up you're scared yeah i am man you came in hot you came in with an energy yeah we were really the last few minutes we kind of built an atmosphere of like warmth and like caring about each other and like supportiveness and you shattered that within the first five seconds

downstairs i had to get uh because i had to get, look at these clothes cause I have to wear these clothes for the golf thing. Uh, so, uh, and he's got to leave.

I'm sure you already said, I don't know. You got a big show tonight. So he's got to leave and then, uh, but I'm not good here downstairs just a little bit

and it just sounded like the boring conversation Joe would have. Like when I'd be in the bedroom and I hear y'all in the so what do you how'd it go last night or you know all that you just all talk uh all podcast stuff already like you get it out of the way yeah like we'll be downstairs and we're like well this is all we should talk about upstairs yeah well we're just waiting we don't know what to talk about. We should turn the TV on. Yeah.

Yeah. That's what this should be. No, downstairs while we're waiting. Us watching TV. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're really debating if Crystal is like Waffle House or Huddle House versus White Castle

is Huddle House or Waffle House. All right. We would say, my family would say White Castle is Waffle House. Meaning the better. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's the more prestigious of the brands.

Yeah. Right. So you had it backwards, I think. Yeah. We never ate Crystal. I mean, it's like a big deal in Louisville. Like you eat White House and you don't eat White Castle. You don't eat Crystal.

Oh, and Opelika only had this Crystal. Yeah. Well, that's understandable. That's Opelika. But it's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You don't look Crystal Oh and Opelika All we had was Crystal Yeah well that's understandable Yeah But it's like Yeah Yeah You're not lucky to even have that Yeah

Well we were I don't think they have it now We were lucky to have it For a time Yeah Did you go in Y'all go in there and eat Oh yeah

Go in Go to the drive through I took a I remember I was dating a girl One time And she yelled something rude To the girl In the drive through

At Crystal And I just drove off I was like Nah we're not gonna Yeah We're not gonna be eating there today Yeah and she yelled something rude to the girl in the drive-thru at Crystal, and I just drove off. I was like, no, we're not going to be eating there today. I'm not eating their spit because of you. Then you drove into a river. Yeah. My wife went to college with either Harold or Kumar from – Harold or Kumar went to go to White Castle.

Oh, yeah. The actor? Yeah. Carl Penn, is that his name? Yeah. Cal Penn, I think. Cal Penn. Yeah, he's great.

Is he in politics now? Yeah. Is he really? No, he's not. Yeah, Obama, he was in the Obama administration. Yeah, that's him. Yeah. From White Castle to the White House.

Yeah. I love White Castle. I love it. I don't think I've ever had it. I mean, I get no onions on it, but it's... That's the only modification? I would do that at Crystal, too. I've eaten it a lot.

But, man. I'm in the most. I love it. I love White Castle. Would you like a White Castle burger if it were the same size as a regular burger? I think you'd be like, this is a weak burger. But because it's a bunch of small ones, you think it's good. The original slider.

To be honest, I like a nice, bad burger. I like a concession stand burger. I like a concession stand burger. You know, one that's like, you definitely was frozen. Wrapped in aluminum foil. Yeah, you're like, oh, yeah. Nice and hot frozen, like all wrapped in aluminum foil. Yeah. You're like, oh, yeah. Probably some microplastics in it.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's a leash you're wearing. Yeah. That hopefully just sets off some of the other stuff. Yeah. You need microplastics. Yeah. You take a vitamin in microplastics.

Yeah. I'm a big, big White Castle fan. uh yeah i i'm a big uh big white castle fan it would be that'd be the one like i would go through and you know if laura wasn't home and i was like you know i'm gonna go get some food like get some bad food i would do if i had like a couple days of it uh you know mcdonald's and i'd be like all right let's do white castle Just order more burgers than I would eat just to make sure we don't run out. Yeah, you don't want to be wishing you had one more. Yeah. No, I'd rather just be, I'm going to throw up if I have one more.

But I have five more. Yeah. Yeah. The week I quit drinking, that week I stayed in Brooklyn for a few days. And when I would get off my- Brooklyn, Alabama? Yeah. Yeah, Georgia. And the night I would get off the subway

and I walk back to my buddy's place, I would pass a White Castle. And every night I stopped and got six White Castles and some fries and ate that every night. And then later that week, I quit drinking and never drank again. You think White Castle helped it? Maybe.

The White Castle was like, listen, change your life. Yeah. It pushed you to rock bottom. Yeah. So you could turn your life around. Yeah. Yeah. And then I took a picture and I looked like Peter Griffin.

And I was like, well, I better lose some weight here. Yeah. Better get it together. You did all that together at the same time? Yeah. And it worked? It did work. We'll see yeah uh

uh just we sure yeah sorry some comments uh gentry overton a few weeks ago i was walking down the street in queens new york city and a man rode past me on a bike and yelled i love nateland and that's honestly the closest I've felt to anyone in this city. Thanks for bringing us together. Also, where can I get the Nate Bargetti show hat? Honduras, Honduras did,

uh, wherever Buffalo bill, Superbowl shirts are sold. Oh man, that's a dig. That's funny. Why did they yell? I love Nate land.

Yeah. I don't know. Was Gentry wearing a nateland sweatshirt or t-shirt yeah gentry should give a little more detail yeah i think that was an important detail yeah gentry left out of this car it's all fun uh yeah i don't know maybe the person in the car wasn't even yelling it at gentry just was so excited about the podcast yeah yeah we uh yeah the neighbor gets you show hat. There's not,

there's that one. They don't really exist. Show doesn't exist, but yeah, we can get some, I don't know. We could just make a bunch more of a show that never went. That could be fun.

We could just mail that one. Yeah. Uh, all right. Uh, I might like to keep one, you know? Yeah. Uh, all right. Uh, I might like to keep one. Yeah. Yeah,

me golly. I just sent him a, I don't know, sent him your, your blankets from your bed. What's the matter with you, Jerry? When he sees me,

he says it because, what's the matter with you? Yeah, he said it a few times. Yeah. Uh, Laney White. I'm a flight attendant for Southwest, and'm curious why dustin thinks the boarding process is the worst is it the open seating policy part

are the boarding group in number every time i walk past another airline boarding a flight it just looks like complete chaos to me thanks for the laughs and the escape from reality. waiting on food at a restaurant in the airport. And I was, I was with Southwest and I had a very early, I was like, I was like a two or something. So I'm like, I got a good spot. My food was taking a long time. And I'm like, I was worried that if my food didn't come in time, I was going to miss and not have that a two spot and be boarding late. Whereas with American airlines, I have my seat number and I could be the last one on the plane. Yeah. I'm still going to get my seat.

That's why I like it. And I also don't like if I'm like A4, I don't like being up there looking at people's ticket going, are you? Are you A5? Yeah. Because I would like to, if you're A5, I'm going to get in front of you. That's why. God forbid you talk to regular people at the airport.

Yeah. What do you do? What do you do to not talk to people about i'm gonna see i know what i do what would you do to not talk to people about the your boarding number oh i would just have it out on my phone so that people can see it yeah but i do i open up the southwest app and just kind of hold it and you hold it that only helps you but if you're trying to find your spot yeah but that but i mean i see it enough that enough people. I think a lot of people do that.

A lot of people do that. You just sit there with your boarding pass just so they know. I guess you could go. You can usually peek around and see someone's thing. Because everybody's kind of got it out. You could go, hey, I've never flown Southwest before. Is A1 good? Is that good?

Oh, dude. I would hate you if you did that. Well, that's when's when if you do get like an a1 and then i mean you see everybody staying there the last minute you just plop up or you see like number fives waiting and there's no a1 through four if you could be a group of four that goes up in front of that guy you know he's like dude i think i'm about to be A1. And then just, how about? You're like, nip. Well, the only thing I don't like is that when the people that are on the plane, like if you get on a plane and there's already people on it,

that they can take the better seats. So I've been up there where you're like A1 or 5, where you have a shot at picking your seat, and you get on there and you're like, X row taken front's taken everything's taken because well the exit rows can't be taken they i've seen them pre-board pre-borders aren't allowed that but they're the people uh people from the previous flight oh okay through flight they go once it gets up you're allowed to get up and like they have that's a buzzkill that's the that's the if you're like the ultimate southwest flex would be to be a1 uh well you know i guess it'd be to be handicapped that's the ultimate that's you're you're killing it there you're gonna get on so early yeah uh no but if you're a1

and then you're a through flight because then you you get a, you're just going to, you probably go stay in your seat. But I mean, if you want to move, you can do whatever you want to do. Or either just helping someone in a wheelchair. If you're like the person with a person in a wheelchair, it's like, I don't know. Why don't you let someone else board them? You don't get on early. I think the number behind you should have to push the wheelchair yeah that's a good idea yeah they go a1 should push it they go here's

who pushes wheelchair well we go down the list a1 2 3 4 and everybody you know and then it makes the people that are the uh fancy people uh they actually have to do some work right you know and uh they appreciate more of where they stand yeah yeah i agree with that okay all right so laney let's get that going mike shive shiv i moved from pennsylvania to murfreesboro pencil i guess could i say it's spelled p-i-n-n i think he's playing off penguin and yeah penn. Pennsylvania to Mercerboro, Tennessee in 1980. And my history teacher, Miss Taylor, had a heavy Southern accent. My first day she asked my name and I said, Mike is in my Northern accent. She said, Blake?

I said, no, Mike. Blake? No, Mike. This went back and forth several times to another kid in the class. She yelled, Mike. Miss Taylor said, oh, Mike. This went back and forth several times to another kid in the class. Yelled, Mike. Miss Taylor said, oh, Mike. I then knew how to say my name in Mercerville, Tennessee. I think of this every time I see pronounced names.

Mike. Mike. He's walking around going, hi. I'm Mike. No, Mike. Mike. Yeah. Mike.

Mike. It almost sounds like Mark in a Boston accent. Man, do we say Mike weird? It's the A's and I's. Yeah. Yeah. just southerners yeah yeah that's what i mean by we uh podcast i didn't know if you meant or alabama you're tennessee i didn't know oh well because i thought you meant because you don't say penguin the way we say it oh i, I forgot. Or bingles. Well, that's just education. That's an education thing. We're in the back.

We're in the back by the trash cans. Mike. Mike. Mike. Don't get on it, Mike. Mike has two syllables. Jennifer Addison. My 13-year-old son and I are obsessed with your podcast.

We can't wait till Wednesday to hear the new episode. Our favorite game to play while driving to school is to see who can come up with the best name for bacon breath baits. That's pretty good. It's not easy to find something to do with a 13-year-old where he doesn't think you're lame. Thank you so much for keeping them coming. Well, that's what you're doing to teach your son is to make fun of me? Bully. Bully the elderly. B is to make fun of me? Bully. Bully the elderly.

Bully Bates. There's another one. Bully Bates. I like it, Jennifer. Good for you, Jennifer. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for, yeah. Bonding experience.

We bonded over bullying. We appreciate it. Who's your bully? Bully Bates. Yeah. We bonded over bullying Bates. Bonding Bates Bully. Yeah.

That's something. Yeah. I would never have a bacon breath around Dusty. Yeah. Out of respect. Yes. Yeah. That would never have a bacon breath around Dusty. Yeah. Out of respect. Yes. Yeah. It would be rude.

Why? He doesn't eat bacon. Oh, you don't. Yeah. Why? Yeah. I forget. Well, I don't eat it.

I like the taste of it. Oh, yeah. Oh, but there's probably a little more of that. Yeah. I love the taste. The taste is delicious. It's all right. But yeah.

It's all right. There's probably a little more. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. Probably something like that. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. We talked about it earlier on this podcast when you said you wouldn't have bacon. Yeah.

On your, I just, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think, yeah, I think we've talked about it before.

Yeah. It's not, it's not that big of a deal. It seems more serious now and I'm not offended, but when you talk about why it gets more serious. Well, I don't think you're offended. I just think there's some things that you're like,

eh, let's maybe not talk about the why don't eat bacon one. You're just, some of your stuff is like, yeah, let's have some fun, make some jokes. And then some stuff's like, let's not really probably go into that. Yeah. Yeah. You kind of know which ones are going to be like, eh, this is a lot. Yeah.

I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. I think I know. Kirk DePauw. That's what I was trying to move on from.

I feel like we've done a good job of moving on. Yeah, yeah. Kirk DePauw. DePauw. That's a great last name, man. Yeah, it is. Kirk DePauw. DePauw That's a great last name, man. Kirk DePow. DePow.

How are their families like that? Because there's a chance they might not be. The DePows. Like it's a little more like that. But if you're like Kirk, and I would think with a first name Kirk, it's like, what's your name, Kirk? It almost sounds like Kapow. Yeah. Kapow. Oh, and it's a bunch of them, dude. There's a bunch of them. The DeP kapow. Yeah. Kapow. Oh, and it's a bunch of them, dude.

There's a bunch of them. The pow boys. Yeah. Dusty mentioned liking the question mark with the explanation point, making the question that much better. Well, I'm here to let you know there's a punctuation mark for that, and it's called the interrobang. It combines the two-one symbol,

allowing you to ask questions with authority love the podcast keep up the great work educating the masses uh so this is why there's a comedy yeah yeah website i didn't know interrobang was an actual thing but yeah the great look who just got da pal by kauw. You didn't know. He's teaching the teacher stuff. So that is what, so when you put an exclamation point and a question mark, it's called interrobang? It's interrobang. It's through it.

It's not side by side. It's actually through it. Yeah, so it's a question. It's just literally just the two of them on top of each other. Yeah. I didn't know that. I'm going to be honest. I don't think people are going to get that. I think if you'm going to be honest. I don't think people are going to get that.

I think if you put that in a sentence, I don't think people are going to know what that is. I think you did it accidentally. I think you put them side by side. You would go like, wow, you got excited there. Yeah. And this is a new invention. Oh, you're just trying to defend yourself because you didn't know it. No.

When was it invented? 1962. You shouldn't have known that dude you're acting like it was in like 2015 that's a new invention yeah 1962 has been as long as the english language has been around dude 1962 is new i know this is a johnny come lately of punctuation yeah but this is you've read some old book or something that had this in it you didn't notice it i've never seen this i can't believe it You didn't notice it. I've never seen this. I can't believe it's been around since 1962 and I've never seen it.

Yeah. It's not on the keyboard. I don't think y'all are reading. You're reading the things there. Yeah, that'd be a hard one to type in. You've got to do them both at the same time. Yeah. Oh, and you can use a reverse upside down in Terabang for spanish i also think i've been thinking this lately that we gotta get the at symbol and the hashtag off of a shift key it needs to be its own key that is

now entered the language of something we use all the time it needs its own key uh i think ad i don't know about hashtag but you know i mean you doing the hashtag that much i don't but i feel like it it does get used yeah well you know the exclamation point is also a shift key. You think we need to take that out too? Yeah. I think it needs its own key. I think people use at more than they use the exclamation point. Do you think you just need to learn how to type a little better is what it feels like?

I just said. I'll agree with you on the at. The at, I mean, you're putting at in everywhere. I agree with that, but you're not saving any time by taking it off a shift. Yeah.

You're just hitting a boom. I don't need to have to go like this. Well, you shouldn't. Why do you do it like that yeah use all your fingers man we didn't learn typing like at the i mean that like typing was like all the letters weren't there it was yeah when we took typing it was a clap like it was it was something that you just did that you're like why would i waste my time doing this yeah my typing coach was the oscar or was the football coach my typing teacher. He wasn't,

he probably didn't even know how to type. Still banging keys, boys. He looked at this and goes, you ain't gonna worry about this. Yeah. He ain't gonna be no assistant. And then Dusty drove

his car into water. Grant D. Morgan In a few days I'll be playing In a golf Ironman Which is where we play A hundred holes In one day

We do this to raise money For an organization That helps at risk youth I'm curious What is the most holes Of golf Nate has played in one day 18, 18, 36

Yeah, maybe a little bit. Maybe 54, maybe 45. Something like that. Me and Derek did that one time. You're playing all day if you're doing 100 holes. I mean, that's...'s yeah so they do it like for this i'm now look if they're i don't know if they're walking or not i mean you'd have to run i mean that would be that's some real chafing that's some real yeah that's real deal but like no way in a cart i could yeah i mean i'd be fun to go do i mean you just

i love that this is like we're doing it to help at-risk youth but it's like yeah but you're just. I love that this is like, we're doing it to help at-risk youth, but it's like, yeah, but you're doing a thing you really like doing. Of course. Yeah. Well, that's what all charities usually are. Is it? Yeah. Well, if you're doing, it's, it's, you're trying to make people go. That's why people book acts for charity.

Like, or, or like acts get paid a lot of times for charity stuff. Cause you have to put in a, everybody can't do and give everything away for sure like so like you know it's in a sense it can be a slippery slope i imagine but if you can do you have to do but these benefits you have to do these things yeah that are like yeah you gotta pay to get this person to then raise enough money for this thing the ones that raise the four others that I just did, I mean, they raised $12 million. And it's for, it's like with adoption and like, and a lot of the kids that are later in life that, you know, get kind of lost. And this four others does an amazing thing where they help kids out. And because these kids are i think gonna be lost in

the system and uh but i mean dude they raised and it was like i like i'm not saying me but like i went up and like carrie underwood saying and it's like we do golf during the day so it's this big big event which a lot of people donate their time for that event uh just because it's in nashville and it's all for this thing but they raise they raise 12 million dollars which is crazy dude crazy that is why a lot of charity stuff yeah i think you have to you know like you got to make it something where people like yeah yeah i'll go do you know and that's like a fun thing but yeah that's right uh you should say not you don't want people to do fun things. Yeah.

Make it hard. Yeah. Let's be hard. Let's really give it a charity. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're really going to do it.

Suffer it. These kids are at risk. You should be at risk. Yeah. Do something. Run with the bulls. Yeah. Run slower than you normally would.

I'll just give you a gut just from the hip reaction. No, I don't think it is. I think it's part of the head. I think when I think face, I think eyes, nose, mouth. That's what it is. I don't care. Well, I have a small child, and so the

song, head, shoulders, knees, and toes, and then it says eyes and ears and mouth and nose. So it's including those in that song. I'm going to have to go yes. Can you sing it for us? You know how it goes. I do know how it goes.

Nate did. We got to do 100 of those in one day. Thanks, Dan. Luke Ricard. Michael Jordan announced he was coming out of retirement to play for the Wizards on September 10, 2001. The next morning at school, my sixth grade teacher ran into the room and said something like, Oh my God, you guys, we have to turn the TV on. Something crazy is happening.

I stood up on the chair of my desk, put my fist in the air and yelled, Michael Jordan's coming back. Obviously, I felt terrible when she turned the TV on and we all saw the World Trade Center burn. I didn't know he announced that that day. I looked it up. It's not quite that. He announced it on September 25th, but on September 10th, the New York Times had an article saying it's all but a done deal.

He's going to announce it any day now. And then the World Trade Center's happened the next day and he delayed his announcement. And then when he did announce it a couple weeks later, he said he's going to donate part of his salary to the victims. Yeah. He might have donated all his salary. Maybe.

I can't remember. But I did not remember it being that close. Yeah. Yeah, that's tough. It feels like two different times. Yeah. It feels like two different time periods. Like, oh, him playing?

Yeah. Because Michael Jordan almost feels like. 98. It feels like the 90s and then 9-11 and then we're in the world we're in now. Yeah. That's how it feels in my head. Yeah, it's crazy how different it and then 9-11 and then we're in the world we're in now. That's how it feels in my head. It's crazy how different it is after 9-11. I just talked about that with someone.

About flying. You could go to just the gates. Yeah, that's crazy. I never flew pre-9-11.'ve never seen, but I see old, like there's an episode of friends that I just saw where they're at the gate. I'm like, what is happening right here? Watch Seinfeld.

I mean, Kramer runs on a plane at one point and then he just gets home. He just talks. He just runs on and he's like, I'm late. And like, he's going to just leave. He just popped on.

Let me say hi to someone. Yeah. I mean, that's insane, I'm late. And like, he's going to just leave. He just popped on. Let me say hi to someone. Yeah. I mean, that's insane. Like, yeah. I remember flying. I support it. I like that. I didn't fly much.

I flew when we were five years old, and I don't really remember that. And then I flew again, not till after high school, probably. I think. And I remember flying. I do remember flying before 9-11. And I think I remember having an ID. Someone else had a ticket. I don't know if I've told this story, but it's like someone else had a ticket uh from my other buddy from high school and this guy couldn't go to this trip they were

going to like vegas or something and then it was like well i could just use their ticket and then so i just used his id and uh i like i used his id and just was going to use it and fly and it almost worked now if you try to do that oh i mean it'd be great but it was like not that crazy to try that yeah do you not think you could do that now though if you look like that person i really didn't but okay that's what that's the thing i mean i kind of like in a little bit but not much but and i remember she was like you just also need your social security because i think you needed two like i guess she was like, you just also need your social security. Cause I think you need it too. Like, I guess she was like, we need your social security card too.

And so then that's when I was, uh, I was really trying to get him to come up and bring the social security card. But that's, uh. That's a trustworthy friend. Well, yeah, it didn't happen. But I mean, I remember like going through that much. I mean, dude, it's insane. Like how just loose everything was very recent especially now i mean this guy at the airport they took they got new machines in the nashville airport which is pretty annoying and i was talking to a guy about it and he goes well these machines can

tell the difference between a stick a c4 and a candle and i'm like so the other machines couldn't do that we could have been sneaking c4 in the whole time and we've not had a plane blow up because of c4 is that really a problem i think what he's saying because you've told that story before is just i've heard the story numerous times so let me answer it for you i mean just like stenographer beta it sounds like an old married couple and like the one that's already lost his part of the mind and the other one that's like almost there but hasn't yet what dusty's trying to say is well i've heard it a few times because i listened to his other podcast and i think he's just saying the way you haven't heard it on this podcast i've heard it on this podcast and his other podcasts and a few times just in conversation.

He's got the memory of a woman. Bates remembers everything. He can't get nothing by. I think the guy's just saying in the past with the old machines, they would have had to stop. If you had a candle in there and checked your bag and it would have been slower. Now with these new machines, they can tell. That's a candle. It's not explosive. Enough people are flying with candles that we gotta well you just

use that as an example but the machines are slower so it's like really they're slowing us down with the machines i'd rather them just check the bag and go oh it's just a candle yeah but they can't look at you know you can make a bomb look like a candle. I guess so. But now they can tell. Yeah, now they know. And, you know, good thing. Yeah. I love the new machines. I'm sorry I've been repeating so many stories.

Yeah, yeah. Because there's only so much to talk about. I'm a little scared to bring something up now. I don't know. He's got a great memory. We're 450 episodes into this. They can't remember what we talked about. Well, that's when we were going on the road, it was like the greatest

because Bates would remember everybody we met, everything. And he's like, remember this? I was his handler, like the guy who leans in. I was about to say. And Veep. But flawless. Aaron Weber. Yeah.

He bombed. You remember that show? I was like, oh, okay, okay. Yeah. But you're really great at it. Well Weber. Yeah. He bombed. You remember that show? I was like, oh, okay, okay. Yeah. But you're really great at it. Well, thank you. It is a skill. Steel trap.

Thank you. Yeah, it's got a great memory. I care about people. You guys should try it. All right. Reverend Keith Burney. When I was finishing my time in seminary at the Catholic University of America in D.C. That's a lot.

Yeah. Where did you say? I took seminary at the Catholic University of America in D.C. You're like, all right, man. You know, did you? You got to like almost like do the Pledge of Legends to that guy. Yeah, at this point, go ahead and say District of Columbia. Just say I run the world. Yeah. at this point, go ahead and say District of Columbia. Just say I run the world.

Yeah. Because this guy's unbelievable. I attended the commencement where I earned my master's degree. That year's speakers were Jim and Jenny Gaffigan.

I thought I'd mention it to give Aaron the hope that one day, if he continues to work hard and climb through the ranks of comedians, he could one day be given the address at Notre Dame's graduation. Of course, that's if Nate doesn't decide

to convert to Catholicism and beat him to the punch. That would upset me. My parents are Catholic. Yeah. So, I mean, I could be. I was just going to go back at any time. I know. If my parents are Catholic. Yeah. So, I mean, I could be. I was just going to go back at any time. I know.

If my parents are Catholic, can't I just be? Well, the commencement speaker this year is Juan Manuel Santos, former president of Columbia and winner of the 2016 Nobel Peace Prize. They hand those out. Peace Prize. Who was the speaker when you graduated? Ray Hammond II, founder of Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Well, no offense to Ray, but look who was right before you.

I mean, it was a who's who. Obama was 2009. I was at that. That's the year my brother graduated. I was at that speech. Oh, really? It was very controversial at the time. Like, it was crazy.

The campus was wild was he already president he was president yeah why yeah all right uh there's just controversy whether he should be given an honorary degree from a catholic university so there are protesters everywhere yeah but he uh he can give a speech man i wonder if uh what Well he can But that's funny No no I'm talking about He's good at it Yeah yeah yeah Oh I know yeah I wonder if my parents are

Because they are Catholic Does that count? Like is it Could I just Could he be Pope? Could I come in? You know like people are Irish Like half Jewish

Or you know something I mean I'm You couldn't pick up Catholicism On a genetics test though. Yeah. So then anybody can become Catholic. Right. You'd have to retest.

It's a universal. So what if I became Catholic? And then that'd be great. Yeah, you could do it. But then, and then I took your spot, but you don't have to be Catholic.

First pitch there at the gate. Obama's not Catholic. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Clearly they're letting everybody do it. What about Peggy Noonan? I don't want to follow Bartholomew, one of Constantinople.

That was the Archbishop of Constantinople. Yeah, that seems like a hard follow. And canceled to the pandemic. I bet he was relieved. He looks like at the age that was like, oh, thank goodness. Like, you know, the last thing I want to do is go talk to these dumb kids.

Man, Notre Dame really goes a lot back. W, 2001. Yeah, he ain't... HW in 92. Wow, 2001. You don't have to be Catholic to give the commencement address. That's peak George W. Bush. That's when he threw out the first pitch. Oh, yeah, 2001. He don't have to be Catholic to give the commencement address. That's peak George W. Bush. That's when he threw out the first pitch. Oh, yeah.

He was making his rounds. Yeah, dude. He was on a tour of a lifetime at that point. Robin W., when you tour in Australia and New Zealand, do you have to change any of your material for them to make it more relatable? For example, do they have Walmart there or other American stores restaurants uh i i don't i mean i would never change it if i did change it i would acknowledge that i'm changing it or i would say this you know i would be like i know y'all on walmart but you know it's like y'all's buckies or something i don't know but usually you don't i mean they're

coming to see you then they already going to get it and so that's a good point you think though you always do at the beginning you think i got to change all this stuff and you're like these crowds are smart they're not i gotta change bathroom to water closet yes to the loo like they're not going to get it and you're like no they they get it they're smarter than me i like water closet that's how i'd like to refer to it now excuse me i'm just going to step away to the loo they're not going to get it they're smarter than me I like water closet excuse me I'm just going to step away to the water closet that's what it's called in a lot of the world

I'll take some water you can get me a glass we don't have water in this village but we have a water closet Spencer Schofield Melbourne is pronounced Mel-bun

Or Mel-bin Never pronounce it Melbourne The locals don't like it I'm from Tasmania Tasmania Tasmania The island below mainland

Australia I will say it the wrong way out loud When I arrive just to get some look from them Just get some looks from them Melbourne Why did they spell it like Melbourne I don't think the R means as much over in Australia Yeah

And they never take it serious. Yeah, this seems like just an accent thing. Yeah. Yeah. All right. They don't like it. It's Melbourne. I'll take it either.

It's out of town. Yeah, I'm from here. Yeah. Maybe people say my name wrong all the time. Yeah. I could care less. Who am I? That's what people told me about uh montreal they were like oh they really hate it if you don't speak french they really hate

it and i was so nervous nobody cared yeah nobody cared i bet i bet spencer's letting us know like they're gonna talk talk pretty hard behind our back yeah like it's like yeah dude they're gonna be nice people you're never gonna experience it's like, yeah, dude, they're going to be nice people. You're never going to experience it. But just give you a heads up. They're like furious. Yeah. And they're going to, you're going to be talked about

at that table. Australia Reddit will be blowing up. Yeah. It's good to know though. Like, so you didn't take them out of a joke. Like, if you're telling a joke.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You mispronounce it, they'll be thinking about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's like saying Louisville. You know, let's just say Louisville. Louisville.

Louisville. Louisville. Least enunciation possible. Yeah. Yeah. Julian Turnswitch. Turn which? Wished.

Julian Turnwich. This thing's like two names that don't code again. I feel like they married into that name. Yeah. You think? I don't know. Julian. Turnwich seems...

I bet they married into that. What's your logic there? That only men have weird last names? I don't know if this is a... You say they don't go together. They don't go together. Oh, okay. So you would never name your kid Julian if you knew the last name was going to be turned.

I see. I got you. Yeah. Sorry, Julian. But I don't know if Julian's a man or a woman. Probably a man, right, I guess? I think so. Yeah, so.

It's that N. So he married into that name? Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I don't understand. I didn't even think about that. Oh, boy. I think that's his last name. Probably the youngest then.

Run out of names. The youngest child where it's like fun. Like they got tired of being, you know, they're great. You know, all this kind of senior and all this stuff. And then they just just parents got a little had one wild year took a turn which there we got one kid we can just yeah julian and then if you met him you'd be like yeah yeah like yeah you go yeah dude yeah julian turn which would be like turn which is like a very royal name like this guy's doing really good yeah and julian's the

one that's in the news all the time of that family yeah where you're like oh they go guess who showed up to the bar last all right and nate in australia we don't tip however however there really isn't anything like bottomless cokes available you have to pay for each one and i also don't think i've seen diet pepsi in many years mcdonald's is referred to as maccas here and in my humble opinion after sampling the product both here in the u.s nate will be pleasantly surprised as ours is better well i mean i can't wait to try it and uh i don't man bottomless cokes that is that's gonna be tough I ain't afraid to go back and get another one

and yeah but it's good I'm good that I can go wrap my head around it and save money by not tipping yeah

yeah yeah that's I like tipping I'm that's that would be the hard part you're gonna bring it but if

but I mean if they don't tip then you're like yeah I don't wanna be weird I mean I I tipped once in our in uh dublin yeah and it's like uncomfortable like it was like i tried to i waited to give the guy money for like a beer and he's like what like he's busy and like he had to come not that he doesn't want the money but it's just being like what uh here's uh two dollars and. And it's like, he's like, uh,

all right. But I think now a lot of places have things for tipping still. Some, I think they know, like, look, if America's coming. Yeah.

We're going to turn down money. Yeah. But, uh, I remember you could bargain there too. Like if you're in a store and how much, and then you said, well, I'll give you this. And sometimes they would do it.

Really? Or they'd meet you in the middle. Wow. In Australia, the country? It's a real country, man. You've been there, right? Yeah. It's about going to Target and you're just over there like, I ain't paying full price for this.

We're a company. Can you do 20? Yeah. Yeah. This is like one of those walkthrough, I don't know. A flea market? It wasn't a company. Can you do $20? Yeah. This is like one of those walkthrough, I don't know. A flea market? It wasn't a Target. Well, closer to a flea market than Target.

I remember somebody bought a DigiRedo or something. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So you're in the market, not just in Australia. You're not even living a life. Oh, I was in Australia. I know, but he's doing like a tourist. It's a garage sale.

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like you're making it sound like anywhere I go, I'm going to bargain. Like, you know, I got to go fill up a tank of gas. I'm going to be like, I don't know if I'm buying that full price. It's petrol. Yeah. I go, I'll give you about $3.25 for a gallon of that petrol over there here in Melbourne.

And he goes, $3.35. I'm going to go up to see if that's true. What? for a gallon of that petrol over there here in Melbourne. And he goes, oh, $3.35. Did you look that up to see if that's true? What? If you can bargain stuff over there. Okay. I think you can bargain stuff here at a flea market.

Like you went to like a fair or flea market kind of thing. Maybe that was... Yeah. And you took it as like, oh, this is a country of people that... Haggle. Haggle. I had a guy trying to do that. He thinks this is a country of people that haggle. They haggle.

I had a guy try to do that. He think Australia's a bunch of hagglers. I had a guy try to do that to me at Office Depot one time. Really? He was like, I'll give you this. I was like, this is a corporation here. I just work here, dude. I don't make prices.

Yeah, it's a little. Oh, he tried to haggle with you? Yeah. Yeah. Typically Aussies. Aussies? Aussies. Aussies. Typically Aussies. Aussies? Aussies. Aussies.

Don't they say Aussies? Typically people from Australia only bargain when they're making a big purchase like a car or a house. According to Finder, a quarter of people from Australia said they were uncomfortable negotiating a price. But it's easier than you think. easier than you think in fact many aussie aussie businesses are open to polite bargaining helping you save some extra bucks or bring a product down to a price closer to what it's worth how about that brian you're right shocking i don't i don't i don't know because that's like a mattress or something like you can do that here at like uh mattress stores or you know like i don't know he goes all right i'll give it like

the guy that owns the store like it's a very like a private business yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you go to any antique shop and if it's a private business yeah yeah anybody can negotiate i negotiated a piece of stained glass that applies yeah felt pretty. Men are more likely to haggle than women. Really? In Australia? I think, yes, this is just Australia, but I think that's probably worldwide. I don't know. I would think women would do it more.

I mean, I think now the women of now would do it more than the men of now. I think it's flipped. That's probably true. I think the men of now wouldn't do it. Yeah. The old men, it was all about that but now you know they're it's coupons it's their their whole you know laura's like it's everything everything we buy is like it's a you know you gotta get this off and then it's like a Game So This one says I'm on a Reddit

A Reddit thread now It says Haggle Like used items There'll be a little bit of haggling But it's not You can't like go to a regular store And

And haggle So there you go 1975 That's like five years ago Bates took a boat over there It was a year-long trip he only spent two weeks there did i turn around he got off haggle said i dare how dare you think i'll pay full price for that and then he got back on the boat going home i did a cruise to cozumel and on the cruise

they told us that people on the island like to haggle and we went to the first store and i did it with a guy and he seemed so annoyed he did it but he seemed so annoyed i'm like i don't think anyone likes haggling they made it seem like the people just really get into it. They have such a fun time with it. Yeah. I don't think anyone likes it. I bet they're going to be annoyed. I don't like doing it. It's like, yeah, it's, yeah, I think people, the people that do haggle, don't haggle, like, I think they like the, there's probably an art to it.

There's like some, it's fun. I just want to pay in like the least, you know. Just get out. And if I'm going to haggle, it's going to be like, you know, dude, someone's like, oh, 30 bucks for this. And you go, I don't even have, I have $20. And then they're going to be like, I'll take the 20. And that would be the haggling.

Otherwise, I don't want to sit and be like, dude, I'm not paying. You know, but I think, I mean, people enjoy it. Yeah. People like going to garage sales and like. I think the person. that gary v doesn't gary v go to oh yeah like he loves it the person saving the money likes it but the person selling hates it i'm sure probably start high yeah they start i mean some i would say like antique people that sell stuff i think they like it because it's always it's like what would you sell stuff, I think they like it. Because it's always, it's like, what would you sell this for? And you're like, I mean, I don't even know.

Like, you know, but if the ones that know, like, all right, here's what I'm comfortable. You just got to go, here's the price that I'm like not annoyed with. I don't want to think about it. So I don't even really care what happens to it. But you don't want to, I would think you don't want to think about it. Like you don't want to, you know, be like, I can't believe I gave that guy that for this. You want to go like, I want to forget this.

So give me a prize that makes me forget it. And then, you know, it's not like it has to be anything crazy. Be like 50 bucks and it's something that you're like okay here i'll give it to you you know yeah all right all right continuing our talk this week we're talking about australia all right you're currently in australia there right now how's it going there uh it's good i'll tell you this haggling thing is got off to a bad start. They haggle everywhere. They haggle ye. So, Australia is both a country and a continent. Only place in the world like that.

Aaron, I thought you'd at least be interested. Yeah, I'm sorry. It's good for them, man. How big is Australia? Pretty big. Roughly the size of the United States. Oh, really? Yeah.

Wow. I think I've pointed that out before on this podcast. Yeah. Yeah. You've asked that out before on this podcast. Yeah. Yeah. You've asked that question before. Over this. I'm Bonnie Bates over here. Yeah.

That's because it's like we're having to fly a lot. Because you think you're going to Australia and you're like, oh, so we're just driving between. You're like, dude, you're going from California to New York. There's no... You don't think about it being that big. Because it's just all the way it's on the underside of the globe. So when you spin a globe, you're

never... Is there a lot of desert in the middle though? Oh, yeah. A lot of it's uninhabitable. 90% of Australians live on the coast. So what's going on in the middle? Outback. Well, Antarctic situation.

There are people that live there, tribesmen. Some research, government stuff going on there. Probably. Yeah. They won't let you fly over it. Yeah. You got to fly around Australia. It's annoying.

Let's go. That sky looks like a normal sky to me, unless something's going on. Yeah's annoying. Let's go. That sky looks like a normal sky to me unless something's going on. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's just a lot of this right

here, dude. Just open. Yeah. Yeah. It's the bush. Yeah, the bush. Indeed. 1770.

So not, you know, not that long ago. It's a new country. Indeed. 1770. So not that long ago. It's a new country. British explorer James Cook landed there, mapped it out, and claimed it for Great Britain. And then in 1788, they started sending over prisoners. The first penal colony. It is crazy to just claim it. I know. All right, this is ours.

And other people had been there. Millions of people living there. They said, I think the Dutch had already been there, but nobody thought to claim it i know you're thinking all right this is ours and other people would be millions of people living there they said i think the dutch had already been there but nobody thought to claim it and what do you gotta do write it down when you claim it do you write it down now stick a flag in it stick a flag in the ground you go this is ours and we'll kill anybody that says otherwise yeah that's you have to be you gotta have the, I think. Anybody could have probably claimed something, but you got to fight it out. But this is 1770s. And so they'd send prisoners over there. Yeah, so I didn't know this.

How long of a journey is that? That's a very long journey. So they used to send, you said this before, I didn't know this, they used to send them to Georgia. I was about to call them out on that. Georgia? Right? Yeah. Georgia was a penal colony

Georgia and South Carolina And then Australia, Georgia Wow And then I wasn't sure what Georgia We were talking about I don't think I still know

Where Albany is Yeah Nope, our Georgia And then Our Georgia? Is that what you're talking about? Yeah Oh, I was going along thinking it was the country.

That's what I was thinking at first. Yeah. Like Atlanta. Yeah. Yeah. Georgia and South Carolina. And then the Revolutionary War happened. So they needed somewhere new to send their prisoners because they couldn't send them here anymore.

Couldn't just put them in a jail. Had too many, I guess. So then they started shipping them to australia and they let them just roam free yeah i mean basically but it was such a barren land such a tough to live there like you can come here and start learning how to grow crops and stuff like that and try to survive but you're free here but it was very tough they sent people to try to teach them but most of them died early they would They would send it to Atlanta? I don't remember ever talking about that.

I don't know about Atlanta, but Georgia, I read. Yeah. They would send. Yeah, I just meant that Georgia, the one with Atlanta. Yeah. They would just go and just drop them off. It was after, when was this? It was after.

Well, before 1776. Before the Revolutionary War. Yeah. Then we were like, that's enough. Yeah. Because then we were our own people. We're our own country now Yeah. Then we were like, that's enough. Yeah. Because then we were our own people. We're our own country now. You can't just drop off

your worst people. Yeah. And then eventually the most well-behaved convicts became the police force in Australia. That's nice. It all kind of worked itself out.

Yeah. Yeah. Australia is often called Oz I mean would you rather have that though like you know like you're gonna go to prison you're like alright well you're not gonna be locked up but we're gonna send you to this land

where you may not live I would prefer that well I don't know I mean you can go just do your own thing you'll be free but it's like a crazy but I'm saying that's the you can stay here be in prison but you'll live we mean, you can go just do your own thing. You'll be free, but it's like a crazy. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm saying that's the, you can stay here,

be in prison, but you'll live. We'll feed you or go there. You're free, but you may not survive. I'd take freedom. I think I would too, but that's why maybe not everybody wanted it.

What, um, what kind of crimes would you have to do to get sent there? I don't know. I think you were sentenced there for four years and then they would come pick you up and you'd be like, ah, I was waiting for you at the beach.

Yeah. Or you could stay there. Some people chose to stay there. I think if you survive for four years, you're there. Yeah. You probably have a family. Yeah.

Yeah. That could be. Yeah. Um, you're just kicking and partying. You hear a boat, like a cruise boat pull up. And he's like, what's that? You go, you're good, dude. You're going back.

You're like, oh, this is a pretty good time over here. Yeah, I bet there was a lot of that. I think so. Tell them I died. Tell them I died. I bet there was. There probably had to be. Yeah, but your family's waiting for you.

You go, Dad. That's why I'm staying. Come on. Tell them you're going to find me. They go, all right. They go, we're going to find them. And then your family cries and you're over there just partying. And no one knows

because it's like, what are they going to do? Take a seven-month boat? Is that what it was? I mean, like, back then, they talk, back in the old days,

they talk about, like, everybody just whipped across. Yeah. It was months. Everywhere. I know, but you're like, they're like,

this guy traveled here, then here, then here. And you're like, I mean, didn't that take 30 years of his life? Just the travel was like that. And when you're there, you're like, you got to stay there for a while.

Yeah, just you and a compass out there, and you're just like, where are we? Compass, you've talked about that before. The biggest city in Australia is Brisbane. I'm going there Okay Capital of Australia, anybody know? Sydney? It's a good guess Cabrera, Miguel Cabrera

Melbourne Canberra There you go That's close That's what I meant I know one city Did you know that? Something, yeah

I knew it was something like that. I didn't know exactly how to say it. But I knew it was one it shouldn't be. You know what I mean? It's not like the one you think of. Well, most capitals are kind of like that, right? Mm-hmm. They're like Albany, New York.

Yeah, well, that's a good example of the exception to the rule. What do you mean? Most places, what you think of is the capital. Oh, I don't know. I feel like if someone says, what's the capital? I assume it's going to be something I don't know. Really? Yeah.

Isn't Athens, Georgia? Is Atlanta the capital? I don't know about that. I think so. I don't believe that. I would say at least half the states, the largest city is not the capital. Wouldn't you? I'm not even talking necessarily about the size of the city.

I'm just thinking. But I think that's what you usually think of. The one you think of. Like in Alabama, you would think Birmingham to me. I mean, I know it's Montgomery, but I think you would think Birmingham. California, I would think Los Angeles. It says that's where the Georgia State Capitol is. So that's, where is it at?

It's in Atlanta. I know, but that's just scroll down. That's just, I still would like to see. Location, Atlanta, Georgia. Yeah, but that's just where the building's at. What's the. Yeah. Well, you think the Capitol's in Savannah, but the Capitol building's in Atlanta?

Maybe. I'm sure they have one in Atlanta because they were like, obviously, can we do it here? What is the Capitol of Georgia? I just wanted to say that. Why would I not say that? Give me some. I don't think Aaron wants you to know. I don't want to know about the Georgia State Capitol.

I don't. The building of that means nothing to me. The building where the Capitol is means nothing to you? I want to know. Let's go to Atlanta's Wikipedia page. You see,

you Google stuff in such a, this is mainstream media way, Googling. That's how he does it. That's how he's talking to me. He does it, he never gives you the real thing. It's all just like,

I don't know. Atlanta, State Capitol. Yeah, state capital. Yeah, but what is that? Atlanta is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Georgia.

It doesn't get more direct than that. Well, that's what I wanted to see. That's what I, that's what I wanted to see. Yeah. I mean, that is,

that's fair enough. Fair enough. I wanted to see the, in a sentence like that. I wanted that to be said to me. Yeah. Don't be vague about it.

No. You just tell me, like, there's a painting of a capital in Atlanta. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm with it. Canberra is an aboriginal word that means women's cleavage because it's between two mountains. All right. Australians get it. Throw that out, Nate. original word that means women's cleavage because it's between two mountains all right australians get it throw that out nate australia has six states

and two territories so they're pretty big so the territories contain the states uh no so what what differentiates a territory in a state that's i don't know how any of that stuff works in other countries man i think it's something's queensland that's one of them queensland new south wales i used to write the blog for an australian laundry company my old job that's one of my old jobs i ran the blog of an australian indeed job no this was after college this is a marketing company i used to work at yeah so they had place i remember they had places in new south wales and queensland and i wrote their blog wow laundry company they hired out australian uniform service is that what australia does there a country and they go to other countries?

They hire. Where they're India. Yeah. Yeah. Essentially. Just, you know, I need a Southern, but need a little bit of education out of them. And then you're like, I mean, you're the guy. But I had to go through and you have to spell all the words like you're Australian and stuff.

Yeah. I could have done. You can do my entire job with AI in 10 seconds now. Oh, that's a job that I would have just played. Done it with AI. Oh, 100%. Yeah. 100%.

So what, like, so these territories are very small, Jervis Bay and Australian capital. Well, that makes it look like there's three because Northern Territory is also up there. Yeah, well, someone's wrong. And we don't know who. What's wrong about this one? Well, because I said there's two territories and that makes it look like there's three.

Jervis Bay I did not have. Oh, boy. Get it together, Brian. I know. Anyway, there's six states. Christmas Island probably seems pretty fun. Yeah.

Christmas Island? Yeah. Or the Cocos Island, too. That's fun. I. Christmas Island? Yeah. Or the Cocoa's Island, too. Yeah. That's fun. I think Christmas would be. Okay. Sorry.

You go to Cocoa. I'll go to Christmas Island. We'll see who has a better time. Yeah. The Great Barrier Reef. You're definitely going to Jervis Bay Territory. Yeah. Not Christmas Island.

Yeah. The Great Barrier Re reef is the largest ecosystem in the world largest core reef system in the world economical system christmas island just an article the grim history of christmas like quarantine on its palm fringe beaches might not bring cheer to aust fleeing Corona. This looks like a nightmare. I bet it's great and they're doing this to make you not go.

Well, it's working. I'm not going. Yeah, that's crazy. Go to the Wikipedia of Christmas Island. That looks fun. I'm sure it does look fun. It's a territory.

They're all territories. That looks fun. Yeah. I'm sure it does look fun. It's a territory. Again, it's a territory. They're all territories. They're all territories. It's an external territory. 1,600 people there. I mean, you got plenty of space. Oh, that's great. It's spread out. Oh, yeah.

It's mostly Chinese people there, it looks like. They have a fun flag. That is fun. Yeah, that is. So is that a chinese territory uh i don't know territory of australian indian ocean territory external territory of australia i mean at this point what are we even talking about like what we're trying to get to the bottom of christmas what are

but what are you saying if you're from the you know what are y'all you're like well we're trying to get to the bottom of Christmas. What are, but what do you say if you're from the, you know, what are y'all? You're like, well, we're, uh, Australia,

but we're like, that's the hard Chinese Australians. It's hard to understand. And I know, uh, I would think people, you're just going to know where you're from, but it's hard to be like,

you want to go like, all right, but I'm driving to Kansas. What's that? What do you say? That that in australia you know like like i'm going to california from tennessee like what what do you say like california is california it's a state it's 50 you know there it's like you go i'm flying to queensland and then you're going to a territory like you like it seemed crazy to be in 2023 someone going you're going to a territory. Like you, like it would seem crazy to be in 2023 someone going,

I'm going to a territory. You'd be like, what? I think it's like Canada. Here it would be. Like Canada is so big, but everybody lives on the border. Yeah.

Yeah, I think, I mean, pretty much everybody lives in three or four cities there. Yeah. Christmas Island was invaded by the Japanese in there. Yeah. Christmas Island was invaded by the Japanese in 1941. So.

The Japanese were doing a lot of invading back in the day. Oh, yeah. They had a good run of things. Yeah. Yeah. The Southeast Asian theater.

For a small country, they were really crushing it. Yeah. I mean, you know what I mean, though? It's just a small, you would think they would just be able to. Yeah, respect, dude.

You know what I mean? They got a lot done. I'm thinking about that Norm MacDonald joke about Germany. Oh, yeah. That was so funny. The world's longest golf course is in Australia. 850 miles long. Wow.

850 miles long? Yeah, it's basically set up so you tour the coast and see it. You play a hole, then you travel somewhere, play another hole. Oh, wow. So it's like a tourist hole. Then you travel somewhere, play another hole. So it's like a tourist thing. That's fun. Yeah. Just to see this, see the.

Imagine there's a weight on the next hole. You're like, oh, come on. Yeah. Took me three days to get here. You should do it. And, uh, you know, take a week. Yeah. Yeah.

I bet it's, uh, par five. It is pretty awesome. And you just do it and just do the tour. What a great idea. And you get a it and just do the tour. What a great idea. And you get a par three, you drive. I mean, can you imagine just driving for half a day? You're like, what's next? You're like 150 yards par three.

You're like, oh, yeah. That's not going to be a good hole. They're still waiting on me. You got to sit on that double bogey for six hours. You just waiting to get to the next hole. Get out every hole. You're like, you got a range here. You can, you can. I don't know a lot of the terminology.

Direct clubs at each hole for a fee. And you can play the course from either direction. What about golfing on Christmas Island? That seems like a golf place. Yeah, I don't, I mean, I feel like they, you know, if Japan was still there, it might be. Yeah. They're golf.

So Australian Prime Ministerold holt went surfing near in near melbourne in 1967 and was never seen again he was presumed drowned after many days but his body was never recovered so there's been many conspiracy theories about what may have happened to him. The Chinese submarine grabbed him. He faked his own death. Sounds like an Australian JFK to me. But think about how, it's even crazy. Think about the leader of your country, not only just drowned, but they never find his body. Yeah.

I mean, how crazy is that? Very. Conspiracy theories would never end. Like, what happened? Oh, yeah. And they shouldn't. Let's find that body. Yeah. Yeah. Wherepiracy theories would never end like what happened. Oh yeah. And they shouldn't. Let's find that body. Yeah.

Yeah. Where's he surfing alone? Yeah. I mean he was with friends but he was out there but yeah he didn't have any How old was he? Yeah exactly. He was surfing with buddies.

Right. They don't have like a boat out there? This is 1967 in Australia so I guess it was a little bit looser. This is pre-boats. They were still basically prisoners at that time.

Yeah. This was the most well-read prisoner. So he goes, I'll just run for this thing. But to have your president missing. It's crazy, man. And then never be found. And you finally just have to say, we got to presume he's dead and move on and make someone else leader. Like, you know, we landed on the moon two years later.

So you think Australia really felt like just defeated to be like, we can't even find our president. You guys, America's on the moon, dude. Meanwhile, in America, they're like, we got to get it together, dude. We got lost at the beach. Are you kidding me? They're making phone calls to the moon, dude. Meanwhile, in America, they're like- We've got to get it together, dude. We got lost at the beach. Are you kidding me? They're making phone calls to the moon. They're the sea of tranquility. You can watch.

They're thinking of getting on the moon right now. Look at the moon. There's a guy on it. Look at that. And where's our leader at? We don't know. He went surfing like a teenager. And we lost him him Who took over?

I don't know I guess his number two Whoever that is Queen of England Maybe so Yeah Or what's the God I can't think of the name

What's the Elsa God, I can't think of the name. What's the... Elsa. No, not Elsa. Ursula. Ursula took over. Like from Little Mermaid. Is that the lady with the pitchfork? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. That's who took over. It's Ursula. Yeah. She's been running for a while. They knew she can't... She can breathe underwater. So that's what she ran on.

She took, she killed the president. She ran on that. I'll never drown. I'll never drown. And people go, I'll take it. I'll take it. Yeah. Electric e-bikes.

Ah. Over 80% of the mammals and reptiles in Australia are found nowhere else on Earth. Yeah. I'm pretty pumped about that. That'll be cool. Yeah. Do you have any excursions planned

to see animals? Laura's been planning it. You're going to hug a koala bear? Yeah, we're going to try to do that. We're going to go to the Irwin Zoo.

Oh, that's cool. But I want to get out there and like try to do an outback safari. Oh, nice. Yeah,

like actually, you know, get out and see some kangaroos. One of the zoos you're going to Lions just escape From there So be careful

Maybe we'll be back in Maybe Yeah dude that's crazy I'll be in Australia When this comes out Yeah It's so far away Yeah

Any idea If people in Australia Are offended by the movie Crocodile Dundee That was one of my Favorite movies Me too I don't know I mean Paul Hogan is so great offended by the movie Crocodile Dundee. That was one of my favorite movies. Me too.

I don't know. I mean... Paul Hogan is so great. He's Australian. I think people... I bet he's beloved. I would think it's beloved. Like, it wasn't... Because it was a good movie.

Yeah. And it was, you know... So... Great two movies, honestly. Crocodile Dundee 2 is not bad. It's all right. It's not as good. And then the third one,

I don't even think I saw. No, I never saw that. I didn't even know there was a third one. I hung it up. I swearile Dundee 2 is not bad. It's all right. It's not as good. And then the third one, I don't even think I saw. No, I never saw that. I didn't even know there was a third one. Hung it up. I swear he was in LA. Yeah. Yeah, I hung it up. Here you go.

He watched the first two. The second one's all right. Fair one, I was like, yeah. And Lightning Jack. You ever watch that one? Yeah, I saw that. That's a good one, too. Yeah, to me, Paul Hogan.

Is he still alive? Uh-huh. He was, to me, the only Australian I knew ofhuh he was to me the only australian i knew of for a long time yeah it is crazy yeah i mean that would be me too then it was steve erwin yeah yeah yeah i mean crockett i mean paul hogan like i saw some movie where he's like an angel too that was oh yeah he had a run there for a while. He might have been. He was our John Wayne to them, you know? Yeah. Crocodile Dundee is still the highest grossing Australian film of all time.

Wow. So they loved it. Yeah, but that's saying that could be counting over here. No, this is just Australian. Oh, wow. This is the theaters in Australia by box office sales office sales oh wow it's that high yeah of australian films yeah so 1986 40.8 million australian dollars which was so much bigger than anything i mean the year before that beverly hills cop was number one at four million

so crocodile dundee was 10 times more popular than the biggest movie. Yeah. I mean, it was bigger than Jurassic Park. Yeah. Like go keep going down. Like it's a, is it what? Titanic. It took the Titanic to beat it.

That was it. Yeah. Titanic. And then it took Shrek 2, obviously. The Dark Knight. Avatar was a norm. I mean, look, things have changed in the last few years, but,

but it's still, it's still way up there, man. Absolutely. It took the Titanic. I mean, it held the rain for a long time. Maybe that's when they said,

yeah, it had the record until Titanic in 98. And then that had the record until 2009 with avatar. Crazy, but it was an with Avatar. Crazy. But it was an Australian movie. Yeah. And that's number one.

Anyway. Maybe that's when Titanic came. They go, we got to change the look around here. They go, what do you mean? He goes, Crocodile Indies are still most successful movie. He goes, I think we should all go watch this Titanic. And they agreed. That is a country. Does Paul Hogan live in Australia goes, I think we should all go watch this Titanic. And they agreed as a country. Does Paul Hogan live in Australia now, you think? Let's look him up.

I would think so. I would go there if I were him. But that's almost like our version of Dukes of Hazzard. He's from Australia. I don't think so. Overplay, dramatize, dramatize is not the right word. Stereotypes about. Yeah, of a guy who doesn't know how to,

a bathroom works and the good old boy of, you know, he's just a good old boy. Never did any harm. He's Australian. He lives there. 83 years old. Wow.

83. He's about to be crocodile done. You know what I mean? You're listening. That was Aaron. 83. He's about to be crocodile done. You know what I mean? If you're listening, that was Aaron. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So most of the most popular animals in Australia. He's been married a few times. Yeah, he-

Like, something I'd like to see there. I think that Linda was the actress, right? Yeah, he married that woman for a while. Yeah. Long time. Kozlowski. Like, they go through, like, some of these dudes, they just go through some marriages, man. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Long time. Kozlowski. Like they go through, like some of these dudes, they just go through some marriages, man.

Oh, yeah. Six kids. Yeah, because you got to think, like, you marry Crocodile Dundee when Crocodile D's coming out, he's on top of the world. And then it don't get no better than that. It never gets better than that. I mean, the movie ends with him walking on people's heads

through a subway. Yeah. It never gets better than that. I mean, he had some other successes, but it never gets better than that. Yeah. Yeah. It never gets better than that. I mean, he had some other successes, but it never gets better than that. Yeah. Most of the most popular animals in Australia are marsupials. You may know what a marsupial is?

Like a duck-billed platypus? Is it like where he put his car? In a marsh? Yeah. Jumped up from the marsupial. Yeah, it's a pouch. Kangaroos, wombats, koalas, Tasmanian devils. Possums.

Well, here, that's one of the few marsupials we have. Is that our koala bear? Yeah. It might be. They're a lot less cute. Lives in a tree. Yeah. Koalas seldom, if ever, drink their entire life.

Water? Yeah, or anything. Really? Yeah. Alcohol. Well, there was an alcohol treatment pretty chill yeah very religious there used to be an alcohol treatment place here in nashville their ad was like i think it's called the koala center because because they never drink and why do we name the baby changing stations after them because they care about their baby

so much yeah they're in the pouch you just kind of associate i think they're called koala care that's what i'm saying yeah but why why would you name that after a koala bear well because that you know that plastic thing that reminds people of a warm pouch but then you put your baby your sweet baby yeah where everybody else has put their baby yeah yeah that's a good point i mean tas, Tasmanian devils, I think of Bugs Bunny cartoon. Does anybody remember that? Yeah, 100%. They're dying off because of

devil facial tumor disease, which you do not want to look at. It's not good, but they're dying over there. Dingoes. Tasmanian devils are kind of fun looking. They look absolutely nothing like the cartoon. They're getting the disease mhm

what's it coming from I forgot let's get some of them over here they drink they do drink yeah they make up

for the qualifiers yeah there's a you know the UFC fighter Taz Mexican Devil I don't know it's the best nickname in sports

alright so it is good there was a wrestler called Taz Mexican Devil. I don't know. It's the best nickname in sports. All right. So, It is good. There was a wrestler called Taz. Yep. In 1980, a nine-year-old,

a nine-week-old baby girl disappeared while on a camping trip with her family. And the mom exclaimed,

a dingo's got my baby. Oh, yeah. And they could never find the baby. There was never any sign. So they end up charging the parents. I think the mom was charged with murder and the dad accessory maybe. And then years later, they did find the child's jacket, and it was in a dingo den.

So they went back to trial and found enough evidence to overturn the case. And now they do think that a dingo really did snatch her baby. Oh, man. How long did they stay in jail? Let me look here. Yeah. I mean, Elaine says that dingo ate my baby. Yeah.

I remember that. Like, that was a thing people were saying for a while. There was a movie about it. Meryl Streep played her. It says, Dingo ate my baby. Yeah. I just remember people saying that a lot. I feel like Jim Carrey said that somewhere.

Maybe. I mean, that lady's alive. Yeah. She was convicted in 1982, and she was released in 1986. So four years. Four years in prison. A dingo takes your baby, and then you go to prison. That's a tough run.

And just a miracle that they find that jacket. Be careful around those dingoes. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, walk with someone, Nate, if you're out there with dingoes. Platypus and or serfum. Akinatas, I don't know how to say that, are the only two mammals in the world that lay eggs to give birth.

A duck-billed platypus is a weird animal. What was the animal in Australia that died off and went extinct? The dodo bird? Oh, yeah, the dodo. When did that go extinct?

I remember that bird a lot. You probably grew up with them. I'm serious. It was like that recently, wasn't it? I don't think so. 70s? Yeah. I thought the last one died in like the 85 or something.

Yeah. I think it was when the bears won. Yeah, the 85 bears. I remember reading the paper the next day she got shot chicago bears won the super bowl oh last dodo got buried huh it got buried on page eight i don't know okay the last one the last one was cited in 1662 i'm sorry i thought this was i thought y'all like had i thought y'all saw dodo.

I thought I played with them. Yeah, I thought they were just around when you were growing up. Yeah. Now they're like a dumb looking bird. They were in Australia. I thought there was a photo of one. I guess not. Yeah, they're like a dumb looking bird.

Yeah. Yeah, they're real dumb. What was the last, like, what animal went extinct? Like, what's the last one that has gone extinct? There was a type of bird that... Or like last common animal. Passenger pigeon. The passenger pigeon is extinct.

There was one that they said used to block out... You slurred that one. The passenger pigeon. Very sound. Passenger pigeon is... It's so much different that time. The passenger pigeon went extinct 1900s

1914 didn't even survive the war but the last animal to go extinct was the teeny poayali a type of bird known as a honey creeper discovered in 1973 a honey creeper it in 1973. A honey creeper?

It officially was declared extinct in 2021. Wow. But the last universally accepted sighting was in 1987.

Wow. Or the Me Too movement. Yeah. Creeper. You're done, buddy. Yeah. 20 of the 25 most venomous snakes in the world are found in Australia, including the top 11. Wow.

Yeah, I'm excited. I mean, it's fun. They have crazy brown snake. Brown snake is just in people's homes. And it's not even the top one. It's close. I sent you a list of the top 25, I think. The brown snake was number one at one point.

The inland... Taipan. Taipan. Yeah, the brown snake's two. Okay. So, yeah. The brown snake's not even worth talking about. My mistake.

Yeah. Inland Taipan. And that's recent that they said that. So those are just in people's houses? I don't know if that's recent. No, the brown snake, yeah, people find them in their garages and stuff. They like being in people's homes. So if it bites you, are you dead?

Or you got some time to get to the... Pretty close. I mean, yeah, you might have... I don't think anyone's died since the early 80s 80s yeah so you have time from a snake bite or maybe it's spiders i don't know because that's next the two deadliest spiders i thought they were dying every day over there from this the way it's talked about maybe spiders the funnel web spiders the deadliest spider in the world and the redback spiders the second both in australia but they said no one's died since like the early 80s because they have the antivitam.

Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good. That's good news. Watch out for spiders and snakes. Scorpions too, I bet. Scorpions out there. I don't know.

What you think is we're going to New Zealand too who has none of this. New Zealand has no snakes. Yeah. New Zealand looks really great. I mean, Australia does too, but a lot of homesteader people in New Zealand has no snakes. Yeah. New Zealand looks really great. I mean, Australia does too, but a lot of homesteader people in New Zealand.

So I've seen some, it just looks very green. It's homesteader people. You know, like they, you know, they just live off the land. Yeah.

Oh yeah. Yeah. In 2006, Australian comedian Isaac Butterfield put New Zealand for sale on eBay in a one month auction. He started

at one cent and it got up to $3,000 before eBay took it down. Do you guys know him? I've never heard of him. Maybe if I've seen his face. He's got like 2 million followers.

Are you going to Tasmania? I don't know around half the world's opium for morphine and other opiates there and the wallabies that's what's

happening maybe before the flight back the wallabies getting the opium poppy fields and they get high and then they

trample the crops they go around in circles who does that the wallabies it's a family no it's a type of animal oh okay and then they trampled the crops. They'd go around in circles. Who does that? The wallabies. It's a family. No, it's a type of animal.

Oh, okay. It's a good shoe, too. Wallaby shoe? You ever have a wallaby shoe? Oh, I remember those. You seen these? Remember these guys? Yeah.

Walter White wears them a lot. Yeah. That was my school uniform shoe in high school. Yeah. And I like them. You write Walmart on it? Well, yeah. Walmart sandals.

Oh, yeah. Not today. A couple of food things. Vegemite. It's created by yeast used to create beer. People use it as a condiment there, put it on toast. Oh, I've heard about Vegemite. Vegemite sandwich sandwich And Australians put beetroot

On their burgers Love beets Do you? Yeah I just got into beets A couple years ago Love them Golden beets

Had some last night At the house Yeah Love beets I'm growing some Does Daisy watch Bluey? Yeah a little bit that's australia what is that it's an animated i don't it's about it's a dog right yeah dog family it's it's pretty good i try to get her to watch it because there's a story involved and it's pretty funny it's something i

can follow i discourage coco melon uh very hard in my my household because there's nothing to it. It's just just just noises. Yeah, just garbage program. That's his that's my daughter's

favorite show. I know. That's why it's so bad because it's like they shouldn't be that into it. All right. Moving on.

You'll tell him that he's about to have to watch a kid alone. Yeah. And this is one thing all he had was Cocoa Melon Mr. Dusty says

we can't watch this what's your favorite JJ I told Daisy now will say no Cocoa Melon she'll go

she wants to watch TV she'll go no Cocoa Melon pick up the hands up no Cocoa Melon but she used to love it right yeah but you just

speak it out of her talk her out of it yeah so 40 of college football's starting punters are australian wow 40 there's 53 australian punters last year in division one football that's crazy why well there's a company one they've done rugby since birth. And then there's a company there called Pro Kick Australia. And every one of them go through this company and it helps them train to become punters in the U.S. And they talk about how it's really changed the game because now they're just all about the height. They don't even care about distance as much because they just want you to fair catch it. Oh, okay.

It's about hang time. About hang time, yeah. Interesting. They're the best at it Well, that's where punting could go out Of the game Like, if it's gonna be just a fair catch every time Then why would you

Who's gonna, like It makes it where you're like Well, then we need to just get rid of it My guess is They're gonna get rid of special teams altogether In American football. That'll be the first thing to go. Yeah.

Kickoffs, kick returns. And how would they switch the field? You just get the ball to 20. Yeah. I think that's how the, that's going to be one of the first things they do to cut back on all the head injuries and stuff is get rid of special teams. Yeah. That's just my thought on what will happen.

They'll have to figure out, because that wouldn't be fair. Like, if you pin somebody at the one, and instead of them punting, now you just get the ball down at the 20. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, look, I don't know how they would do it, but I think they'd take it away, because that's where a lot of injuries come from, and if you're going to remove one part of the game,

that's the part you remove. Yeah, I agree. Especially kickoffs and kick returns. It's just crazy. Now they're kicking it through the thing too. What do you mean? They're just kicking it through the goalpost. Yeah.

I mean, half of them. Yeah, they're just crushing it. Now you can fair catch a kickoff, right, and start at the – Yeah. But, like, yeah, if you just – everybody starts at the 20, and then you just get – you have to go for it on fourth down. Like, you know, but I bet you could be like, uh, maybe just make it where there's no punts here. Like you just got to go for it on fourth down.

Yeah. Or we can put the ball 45 yards away or something and just don't have to actually punt it and return it. Yeah. I hope I'm wrong, but I think that's what will happen. I don't think I'm against it, but I would rather just be like, just you got to go for it. Everybody's got to go for it. Oh, that'd be fun.

Yeah. Like, just do that. And if you're on the one, you're like. Unless you want to try a field goal. Yeah. Unless you want to try a field goal. Yeah. So who do you guys think is the most famous person from Australia?

I got a few things here on New Zealand before we wrap up. Good. So the word Kiwi refers to three different things in new zealand it's the flightless bird that lives there it's a nickname for new zealanders they call themselves kiwis and then it's a fruit that also is there you'll find all over new zealand

all right so if i say kiwi it's like it could be one of three you gotta use context kiwi bird but if you're calling somebody you filthy kiwi you know what I mean oh wait what does that mean is it a bad one no I think they call themselves kiwis I know

I was kidding oh I hope I don't think there's a negative connotation in Australia just call themselves kiwis this is New Zealand I'm sorry I jumped

sorry yeah we're in a different place now. Okay. Why do they do that? Are they hairy people, but sweet on the inside? Maybe. I'm sure that's it. There's five sheep per every person in New Zealand.

See, yeah, a lot of homestead, a lot of farming going on there. Yeah. Yeah. I love to watch videos of people in New Zealand. Farming and stuff. It's a lot of homestead, a lot of farming going on there. Yeah. Yeah. I love to watch videos of people in New Zealand. Farming and stuff. It's a lot of fun. Would you, like, they're completely off the grid? I don't know if they're completely off the grid, but yeah, they'll have a lot of wood-burning stoves that they're cooking out of.

It'll just be like, you know, you'll think you're watching some family in East Tennessee, but they're really in New Zealand. You think you would move there like if it say if you know at all like america just falls apart you got to go somewhere well i think they're very i think they have a lot of like very strong government control oh yeah where could you go that's you know i don't know i've thought about it a lot yeah i don't there's really nowhere to go right i don't think so well because it's like then you got our government would be it'd be so corrupt that it's literally taken over by well that's what i think if america falls then it's all over for the whole world and we're in

trouble yeah i mean i do think that though i mean i don't mean to get all negative we're done yeah so yeah so why don't you eat bacon let's get back now that we're into it yeah new zealand second highest sheep per person ratio in the world can you guess what number one is pennsylvania i would have said first the falkland islands oh two hundred and two are two two two two hundred sheep poor per person. How many people? 3,500 people. Oh, okay.

That's cheating. 3,500 people, 700,000 sheep. I want to get some sheep. Where's that at? Falkland Islands is... What if you went over there and you're like, you know, I didn't see one. Yeah. It's a bad tool.

Yeah. Thought I'd see more sheep. Falkland Islands is right off Argentina. That sounds like a place I'd like to live. It's like when you would go, yeah, I don't think I'm going to see one. And then they're like, no, you don't understand. They're everywhere. And you're like, I know, but I'm going to stay in the city.

And you're like, you don't understand. There are birds, are sheep. They're like chickens in Tampa. Oh, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Hawaii has a lot of chickens. I want some chickens and sheep. That's what I want. These things get going.

You know, a sheep is a... You know what I think of it being a wild animal. It's wild. It's out there, dude. Look at these things They can't see That never got What's the word

Sheared Sheared Sheared yeah It's bad for them Yeah It's crazy Yeah but what But I mean

How's it bad for them If that's how they are I think eventually They can't walk It covers their face So they couldn't Even see So they have to be

Sheared I think so I mean how did they You know It doesn I think so. I mean, how did they, you know? It doesn't make a lot of sense. Yeah, how did... The ability to shed naturally has been bred out of most breeds of sheep. Oh.

Making shearing an absolute necessity. That's what everybody tells me. Every time I go, I'd like to get sheep, everybody goes, you gotta shear the sheep. You gotta shear the sheep. And I'm like, yeah, I want the wool.

Shear? Yeah, I want the wool. Oh, you would use the wool yourself? Yeah. Coats and stuff? I don't know. I mean, it seems like a pretty hard process, but yeah, that's what I'd love to have, a bunch of wool.

Wild sheep will naturally shed their winter coats. They scratch their bodies against trees and stuff, and it gets rid of it. But ones bred domestically that just live on farms, you have to shear them. Yeah. winter coats they scratch their bodies against trees and stuff and it gets rid of it but once bred domestically they just live on farms you have to shear them yeah but that's what i'm saying though it's not you know you made it seem like wild sheep you know you're like if you're a sheep in the wild it's just you just wait once your hair grows you're're dead. But they're getting it off. Yeah, you're right. I just remember a photo I saw of one that hadn't been,

I guess it got lost or something, and it was just crazy. I mean, it's like hundreds of pounds of it. Yeah. I would imagine it's a lot. Yeah. It's got to be a nightmare, but there has to be a way. You would think even that sheep would go. Oh, it was an Australian.

Let me rub up against some, see if I can't get some of this hair off. Yeah. Yeah. You probably couldn't see. Disgusting, dude. And that looks like just a rug wrapped around.

That's some, that's some dreads going. Yeah. That is gross. That thing's ready to go to a rastafarian party that's what it looks like yeah it's gotta feel so good when that sheep gets a haircut imagine can you i mean i don't i think that's a feeling that most people will never feel it's almost worth it to grow it out yeah much just to be that feeling of that all that coming

off what's under that hat i mean yeah yeah i need to get a haircut soon. But it's, but yeah, the relief of just your whole body. You can't see. It's over your eyes. It's over your eyes. And then, and just the relief of it's gone. Just. It's got to feel good. What's the most famous movie shot in Australia?

I mean, in New Zealand. Lord of the Rings franchise. Has to be. By far. Yeah. They do $33 million of revenue each year from tourism just from the Lord of the Rings movie. Yeah. Because people go see the sites where they shoot.

Yeah, go see where the movie is. Is it... What is it? Is the movie... I know Lord of the Rings is the biggest thing. I've not watched Lord of the Rings. But is it like the mountains? Yeah. It's beautiful.

Well, I don't watch them now, but I did watch them in the past. They are really good. They're literally allegorical Christian literature. But did you watch... I threw the DVDs away. Yeah. It's literally Christian allegory. It's a Christian story.

Yeah, but he's a wizard. I don't get into wizards. Yeah. I mean, he's in with the system. Yeah, Tolkien might have meant it that way, but God says, don't be messing around with wizards. And then the wizards... I don't think Tolkien's doing spells.

I think he's just writing a fantasy story about people doing spells. Yeah. Was he and C.S. Lewis like best friends? Mm-hmm people doing spells. Yeah. Was he and C.S. Lewis like best friends? Mm-hmm. They were buddies. You don't like C.S. Lewis?
