Episode Date: August 16, 2023

Nate's back so this week the guys get caught up on his recent trip to Australia and New Zealand. 

Today's episode of the Nate Land podcast is brought to you by Indeed, AG1, Ibotta, and Viori. Good day, mate. And hey, koala. That was my thought of that over in Australia. All right. Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. It's nice to be back.

Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slay. Yeah, we're back. Got my Crocodile Hunter shirt on. I had to get it. This is like the actual one that Steve Irwin, that's what they wear. It's like a game-worn jersey. Yeah, I went to the zoo, the Irwin Zoo. And it was, you know, like Steve Irwin was a lot more impactful,

I think, on my life than I might have even realized. Because they were showing clips of it, like during one of the things. And I've seen every clip. And I was like trying to think. I was like, man, how old was I when this show was on? I mean, I wasn't a kid. It was probably 2008. I think he died in 2006.

So, but probably 2003, right? When I started comedy, I was probably 17 18 like watching but i watched this show i mean every clip they showed i was like i remember that episode of it like out of all shows i don't remember many episodes of stuff and this you know besides seinfeld or something but crocodile hunter i was like yep yep i remember all this wow yeah did y'all watch crocodile hunter I watched it a little bit. It was on Animal Planet? Yeah.

I mean, I was. I remember him mostly from coming on the late shows and kind of appearances like that. Yeah. He kind of transcended his own show. I don't know if I ever sat down and watched that television show. I watched. I didn't realize it until we were sitting. He has this like Coliseum where they it's all surrounded.

And in the middle is like, you know, water and some land. You know, they have birds flying and a crocodile comes in. And he said they built it. Him and Russell Crowe were friends. And he went and saw 300 and saw the Coliseum and was like, we should do something like that. Like at the, you know, and then everybody's watching us get with this crocodile or whatever. And so he did build it. Gladiator?

Yeah, Gladiator. Yeah. Okay. I thought you said 300. Maybe I did. Yeah. Yeah. But he saw Gladiator.

Yeah. With Russell Crowe. And so that's what inspired him to to make that and then he did and then he did it and uh i don't think he ever i thought they said he didn't see it finished but they were like starting to do it but everything is done and uh you know his vision everything that he wanted to do they're just a great family. I just, you know, his, like, he built an animal hospital too there that his mom wanted. When his parents, they started the zoo, like, very young. And this animal hospital was in a shack.

It was like nothing. And now it's this giant thing. And they do a thing, anybody thing anybody i mean other zoos might do this but like anybody can bring in any animal uh so it gets hit like on the road or you find an animal they're open 24 hours and you go drop it off and you get to name it when you drop it off okay because they it needs a name it's like they had, they had like, uh, this lizard that, uh, when I was in there, that looked like it got hit with a, uh, weed whacker as we call it. They might've called it a something Willie snapper or they said something like that. They're like a Willie snapper got after it.

And we're like, huh? Like we think that's some animal over there. And then, uh, whippersnapper, whippersna we think that's some animal over there. And then. Whipper snipper. Whipper snippers. Whipper snippers. Yeah. Wow.

Yeah. Because it looks like a whipper snipper. They call weeds whippers? I don't know. I didn't get that far, but they call that a whipper. A weed whacker is a whipper snipper. Whipper snipper. I like that. I call it a weed a weed eater yeah that's what we always called

it i could see that i think we could yeah it's not really eating it though that doesn't seem fair to the animal though that some dummy hits the animal and they get to name him the animal should be like i get to that's the last guy i want giving me a name well it's whoever finds it you somebody like if the guy hits it yeah like, like with his car and they bring it in. All right, you get to name him. Well, but at least he brought it in, though. You could hit him and then just drive off. He didn't hit the thing intentionally either, Brian.

People make mistakes. Well, I mean, yeah. We should have you in there as a kind of a court of law. Yeah. That just kind of read the room and goes, I ain't buying this. Yeah. A whippersnapper. He goes, where were you whippersnipping?

Where were you whippersnipping? Yeah. He goes, over, you know, the golly lag. Let's go see it. Let's go look at it. I ran over a turtle with a lawnmower one time in some real tall grass as a kid. It really made me sad.

I took it to the vet. Yeah. What happened? They told me they had the ability to put another shell on it. I think they killed it. Transplant? They took it outside. Yeah. What happened? They told me they were going to, they had the ability to put another shell on it. I think they killed it. Transplant? They took it outside. Yeah.

They buried it. But it made me feel better at the time as a kid. They go, we're going to put another shell on it. Then you just, as you walk out, you just hear, just throwing it on the ground. They got a hammer going at it. You go, what is it? We're taking the shell off.

Yeah. It's just a lot of work. Hearing like it's a NASCAR, like they're changing tires. But it made me sad. I love turtles. I love turtles. Yeah. They're the best.

They are. They have, it's our animal's a turtle, right? A reptile. Tennessee box turtle. Is it? Is it? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Came back smarter. Yeah. Yeah. You know a lot of things. It's all just it? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Came back smarter. Yeah. Yeah. You know, a lot of things. It's all just reptile facts though. It's nothing else. Yeah. It was, uh, yeah, I held, uh, we got to hold a koala.

So, uh, it's illegal to do that there, but you can do it only basically at that zoo. Cause it's like, gotta be like like it's regulated in this way. But I'll tell you what they it smelled awful. The whole country? No. That's what I thought. Yeah. The whole country.

I go, I'll tell you what. And you know what? And I'm not afraid to say it. That's how bad it smells over in that country is they should know. Clean it up. No, a koala bear. Yeah, this is the this is the uh that is a leap to go we're talking about the park you go the whole country yeah now i was with aaron we're not talking about louisville aaron where my whole family's from oh yeah they yeah. They're all here, actually.

All Louisville's here. Oh, really? Yeah. My cousin Chris got married, and then so Tuesday's here, and Aunt Cindy and all of them. My Aunt Cindy says, instead of toilet, she says torlet. Oh, gosh. Because we say, didn't y'all talk about that? Warsh. Warsh.

Warsh. My whole family says warsh. Wow. My parents do from Louisville. Warsh. Warsh. My whole family says Warsh. Wow. My parents do from Louisville. Warsh. An R. Apparently. I'm going to take a shire.

Shire? Shire. I can see shire. But Warsh. Warsh. Doesn't make sense to me at all. Well, my aunt Cindy says Torlet. Torlet.

Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me. Torlet. I kind of like it. Put some R's in there. Yeah. What about the word ruin? They always go rert. Rert.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what word ruin? They always go runt. Runt. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what we said growing up. That's runt. So the koala smelled bad. But the koala, it was, yeah, it was the male. And it just like, it was like BO.

I mean, it was insane. I held it for a minute and I was like, I can't even do it. It was like Seinfeld's's the valet, the car. I mean, I couldn't even handle it. And all I thought about the rest of it, I mean, it was awesome getting to do it. But I'm being honest, the rest of the day, I just thought, I can't wait. I got to go wash this jacket. I can't be wearing this jacket because you just smelt it on you.

Do they all smell that bad or did you catch one? I think it was a male. She said the male gland. So it was, I don't know, mating season or there's a reason they do that. It works in their world. But I'm saying as a visitor holding it. It didn't make you attracted to them. I'm saying if you ever run across a chance,

I don't think you have a choice. You got to hold what you hold. But if they go, you want a male or female, I'd ask for the female. Yeah. I find out what summer, what month it is. Yeah. I'd be like, where are they at?

But it was- Do you have a picture of you holding it? I do. I have a bunch of pictures. I don't have my- Are you holding it? I do. I have a bunch of pictures. I don't have my. Oh, you're holding it though. Like you'd hold a kid like it's got its arms around your neck or whatever. Yeah, hold on.

These are endangered? That surprises me. Are they? Koalas? It says they're an endangered species. They had. I forget. I thought they were like a problem over there.

No, they're. I think that's kangaroos. Yeah, kangaroos are everywhere. Do you see a bunch of kangaroos no no but it'd be like it'd be like seeing if you went to manhattan you see a bunch of deer oh yeah good point i mean that that's what someone said to us uh i saw one hit on the side of the road that was a lot of kangaroo roadkill i think about trying to do it as a joke though is the only thing but it's like the idea of the joke is like it's just it's pretty crazy to see you're used to deer but to see a kangaroo like that's that's would be we have them in a zoo like it'd be a luxury

to see one and it just hit and you're like oh golly uh but it was uh yeah the the whole experience let me see if i can i have the quality uh rhino uh what do i do i just you can airdrop it to me yeah oh yeah uh Oh, yeah. Yeah, we... Eagle. I mean, they had all kinds of stuff. Airdrop. All right. Aaron. Oh, you found.

Airdrop is a... It's pretty awesome, man. It's amazing. Yeah, it really is. It's when people make arguments against Macs. They're like, you don't need a Mac. I go, well, I use AirDrop all the time. I don't use it.

AirDrop is a huge selling point, though. Oh, yeah. Wow, look at that. Yeah. So there's the old Koala. So this thing just reeks. I mean, I'm putting on a smile. We would not be going on another date.

It's got some claws there. Yeah. Yeah, they're very sweet. This is like an older one. Do you know the age of this one? This isn't a newborn, I can tell. No. It's got kind of an Albert Einstein look to it.

Give me what's about to die. Just mange on its back. He's got something going on on the back there. Yeah. 54 years old. He's decomposing. That's why he smelled so bad. He does have an Albert Einstein look. Yeah. That was, you know, like

a porcupine. You could pet it the other way it was eating. This was right when we got there. They had this set up. I mean, out of the gate, we were, you just walk in the zoo and I was holding a koala within a minute. Oh, yeah. So you had to walk around with that jacket the rest of the zoo.

Yeah, save it for the end. Yeah. So you can pet a porcupine one way. One way. You can't come back. No. You're like, this is not me. I was holding a koala yeah i would be

very self-conscious the rest of the time now yeah you can't uh they're like the things you drive over the rental car you can only go the one way if you come back you're you're done yeah and when you pedal i mean i don't know if there's the worth of petting them it's not enough to you know when you pet it it's it's what you think. Yeah. It's like petting Velcro. Yeah. You just like go,

it's like you just rub Velcro and you're like, all right. Uh, that's like the, just the front of the zoo. So like when I saw it, it was, I mean,

it was just so crazy. I mean, he's got the shirt I got on. I bought it. I loaded up. Uh, it was, he,

he just, uh, I, I'm just a giant fan of that yeah i was a giant fan of that show giant thing like it's a very family thing uh and it just and everybody that works there is you know they love it uh which i would say a lot of zoos when you go to it the people that work there you have to obviously love it because I, you know, you think you're just with these animals, but it's, you got to really love that world or you're going to be driven crazy. But it was, it was pretty special to go there. I mean, it was crazy to be there. Cause I, I, I mean, I really watched this show a lot.

I'm a giant fan. So we didn't, the Irwins weren't there when we were there it's they were like uh they go do something uh in august i feel like it's crocodile related but they're they're the family that you think they are like you know they're in they're in it they're they're hands-on they're not like they're like the royal family they're they're getting they're there i think if you're you know if they're there you you're probably gonna see them robert the son because it's kind of his zoo i think now but like you're you're you're gonna see them that's what i said last week i said robert's running the show yeah yeah yeah yeah and he's got the same enthusiasm

his dad had like you know and you talk about you know him but it was like i watched this i mean i watched the show like it was i mean i i loved i loved the crocodile hunter uh it was yeah the whole thing was great yeah so the trip was great let's move on no uh yeah i loved every uh all australia dude i'll tell you it it's in New Zealand. The crowds are great. Got a few hay bears, which is very cool to hear. You're on another planet, Phil. You're so far away from. It was almost a nice break because no one can really get a hold of you because you're just so your hours are so messed up. So when I wake up, I'd be calling.

Because Harper and Laura were with me for the first eight days. Then they came home because she had school. Then I would call them. I'd be waking up, and they'd be like, all right, good night, going to bed. Then vice versa. Wow. I'd call her, Laura. It'd be 1230 at night. I'm like, all right, I'm about to go to bed and then vice versa wow like i'd be you know i'd call her lar it'd be 12 30 at night you know i'm like all right i'm about to go to bed and you know she's like all right good night

it's not 10 a.m here or something or maybe it's 7 a.m or 8 30 like i would call them that late and they'd be right when harper's going to school were you flying from place to place once you got there or were you driving across the country? No, you, you fly. I don't think, I think you could drive. It's, you know, it's America. So it's, it's basically, you know, when we went to Perth, it's like going New York, California. We did Sydney first, then Melbourne and then Perth and Brisbane and then New Zealand. Travel there, air travel there.

It's pre-9-11 travel here. It's awesome. I mean, I did not show my ID or passport once. Really? I love that. Not one time. Gosh, I love that. Enough that we were flying.

The domestic travel was, it's like you just, you promise you have a flight? You go, yeah, I promise. And then they let you on the plane. I wish there was some trust left in our country. Yeah. I mean, that's great. That's what I was, I tried to do it as a joke there.

I was saying it as a joke, where it's like, we're just so strict now. So ridiculous. Yeah. Like that, you go there, it's like going to your, you know, your uncle that never got married. You go to his house where it's like, he's like, you want to drive the truck? Yeah. And you're like, I can drive the truck.

He's like, you can drive the truck. Like, it's just a fun place. They, you know, it felt like a place where people love their, they love their country. They love where they're from. It's, it's, you know, like a very, very welcoming. Uh, I mean, I really, really loved it. I really did. And you go such a far away. I did not mind the flight as much. Uh, and it's just, I mean, you're just out there, dude. I mean,

you're so in the New Zealand, when you go there, you's just, I mean, you're just out there, dude. I mean, you're so in the New Zealand, when you go there, you're just, you're even farther. You're New Zealand is the first, like, like Auckland, I think is the first major city that sees the sunrise.

So you're just like, you see the sun. You're like, you're, you know, I see it. I can give you, let you know how it's going.

I'd love to go there new zealand always seems so great australia too but new zealand always seems so green so well if you go to one i would probably go to the other yeah while i'm there yeah yeah i wouldn't just pick i'd go to both i mean i look i hope to go back uh it was, yeah, I mean, the travel. I had someone, you know, like they make you sign an autograph. Someone has a picture to make you sign an autograph. So I'm walking to my plane. And, like, I didn't get recognized. I got recognized a couple times by Americans.

Like, you know, but we had a lot of people to show and stuff like that. But it's not, like, anything crazy. But there was a guy sitting at my gate when i'm walking to get on the plane and i had to sign a he had like a big glossy thing and i'm like how is he at the gate you know did he buy like you'd have to buy a ticket oh yeah you have to go through security if that well this guy didn't buy a ticket then i'm thinking i'm like well i'm not even showing my ticket i'm just going so it is it is truly flying you know the old days where you could just any like you could go have lunch at the airport you just got to go through security yeah that's it they look at your passport when you first landed from america uh yeah yeah but then after that that, it's you pop around. I mean, where that travels.

So it's just so much easier. You can just kind of go later. And, you know, it's really like, you know, your days are flying. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty great. I love that. Yeah.

I liked it a lot, too. Went to Perth, got my haircut in Perth. Soulsby, I believe is the lot, too. Went to Perth, got my haircut in Perth. Soulsby, I believe is the guy's name or shop. And he was very nice and reached out to us. And so we needed a hair. You know, you're you're we're gone for 18 days. So Perth, we didn't really get to spend much time. That's supposedly that rottenness island is supposed to be crazy.

Perth, we did not get to spend much time because we were really only there for a day. But that's the most isolated city in the world. Wow. Wow. And it's because there's just nothing in the middle of Australia. So much just desert around it. Yeah. That's like traveling from New York to L.A. to get there. Yeah.

It was, I think it was like a three and a half hour flight four hour flight and then uh you know new zealand so they're big we went to world cup game uh australia versus canada australia won easily it was very fun harper got to go and australia versus canada and uh so i was like if we've ever wanted to beat someone, I go, I'll tell you what, I'm rooting for Australia. Yeah. You know? Gets Dusty's wife. Yeah.

But it was Australia, and Australia's still in it, which would be awesome if they won just because it's the home. It's where they're doing it. But, yeah, getting to go to a World Cup game was awesome. Like, it was in Melbourne. It just kind of worked out. Like, they were in Melbourne players are in melbourne sydney's new zealand they were playing all these cities and it just kind of worked out that like we were in melbourne one night and they were playing

and uh so we went to that uh and that was like yeah they said that was great uh road bikes. I like Melbourne and Brisbane a lot. Uh, I liked Sydney, Sydney, Sydney's like New York. So it's, it's, you kind of, you're in it when you're there. It's beautiful though. It's, but Melbourne and Brisbane were, I really, I really enjoyed those cities. They look, they're very pretty. Uh, and New Zealand, my one joke that i said there's a new zealand joke uh so they have a rugby team and their name is uh all black all blacks yeah and i said just i was like just give y'all a little reference if y'all come to america and someone says what's your favorite sports don't go the all blacks i gotta just get or do it but just give some context pretty quickly after it yeah what's your favorite sports? Don't go the all blacks.

I got just get our, do it, but just give some context pretty quickly after it. Yeah. And then you can't. And then I was like, they go, uh, I think,

all right, what about basketball? You're like, well, that's the tall blacks. That's the name of the basketball team. The tall blacks. Wow.

That's the real name. Wow. Yeah. And then they have the little league is called the Small Blacks. And that's and that's Wow. That's their names.

And it's and they have a store. They have a store in the airport. You could have bought an all black shirt. I actually like the name. Yeah.

And they wear all black and like Yeah. I hope so. But it was What was the weather like? 55, 60.

It's not bad. It's their winter. It's their winter. Yeah. So it was, we, we golfed. Uh,

I got some hats. So aware for golf. Uh, we got off the realm, Royal Melbourne. That was probably the most windy day. It's a, uh,

uh, Royal Queensland. We golfed at, and then tearaya tearaya in new zealand and that and uh all of them top-notch courses i know people don't care about golf but uh tearaya was in new zealand is i mean you're just it is one it's probably one of the prettiest courses I've ever played. I mean, it's just, you're just on the edge of the world. I mean, it's, you know, it's so crazy. Like you're just sitting there and you just feel so far away. You go, cause New Zealand to Sydney,

cause we had to take that flight to come home. That's, I want to say it was like three hour flight wow so you're in an airplane for three hours that's how far new zealand is from uh australia which is already far away it's already far away from everything i mean they're you're down there when you're there the people that are from australia you from – I mean, you're over there, dude. So is New Zealand a country part of the continent of Australia? They're a country. I don't know if they're –

I think they are because I think technically it's Oceania is the continent. Okay. Sounds right. Whippersnapper. So are the provinces of Australia? Territories. Territories, yeah. State or territory.

Okay. They have those. And they all come from- I've been to Australia, but it's probably changed a lot since I've been- Yeah. Well, I think Perth was invented. There's a lot more aboriginals when I was there. Yeah.

They've got a lot of local stuff here, huh? Yeah. No one knew Steve Irwin when I was there. When you're there, they go, we can fly you to Europe. You've got to boat over. Yeah. We don't really know where australia's at yet uh australia uh somewhat new new zealand's a new country i think it was like 1840 wow i found a lot of stuff i remember i was trying to do jokes so i was kind of but uh

new zealand is you know pretty new pretty crazy. It just seems like such a beautiful place. Yeah. Yeah. 1840. I mean, it says like, yeah, there's people that obviously people before whatever,

but it was, became a country in 1840. And they got a responsible government in 1856. That's what the Wikipedia says. That went away. Is that what everybody says They finally That's what we should call the government

We finally got a responsible government We'll have to get one first Yeah it was Saw a lot of birds Joe's a big bird watcher So he saw I think 67 something new birds wow crazy uh yeah i mean because when you're a bird watcher do you have like a huge checklist for your life and you try to check them all yeah he's on e-birds or something uh

yeah i think it's e-bird or something so you go through and you just mark them all you track everything you see yeah i mean i would have seen 40 something if i would or you know if i cared and i would have you didn't keep track no i i mean i tried we did it because it's like you know it's i don't mind doing something when someone is very into it yeah it's fun all right we're i'll get into this uh but i got into it as much as i could get into it. You know, I mean, you can tell you my love is not the same as Joe's love for it. Yeah. There's a lot of him you go, all right. Birds are wild too, though.

It's like just sometimes even just Tennessee's pretty good bird watching. And they'll just a bird will pop up one day. You're like, oh, I've never seen that bird before. And it's great. Yeah. Yeah. They had a hast hast eagle or something uh and i mean it's it's bigger than this table wow it's enormous yeah the hast eagle is extinct

but so they had yeah we sold them you should probably report that to somebody joe put it in his e-bird thing uh but they have a bird that's so they brought the haste eagle but then there's another bird that's that's still around that's bigger than that okay and so uh i know how to do oh i know how to do Celsius too now. Really? Yeah. You're going to stick to it? Give me a Celsius number. Zero. Well, that's 32.

But give me – 20. 20 is about 70. So you go 20 times 2 is 40. Then you add 30, 70. Really? Yeah. And that's the basically –

I don't know if it's always exact, but you're going to be – Can you go backwards? Can you go the other way? 85. So I go 85 minus 30 is 55, and 80 is 40. So 55, 40, 10. Is it 15? I don't know.

85. I was thinking in the 20s. 27. 30. 29.4 was thinking in the 20s. 27. 30. 29.4 degrees Celsius. Oh, yeah. Because 20 is 70. So ballpark.

Yeah. So I guess you would just kind of know 20 is 70, and then I'll just play around from there is what. It's like Kramer. Well, night's a little harder. Yeah. So you have an, if you tell me 20 degrees Celsius,

I don't know what that means at all. I don't even know. I know from setting my temperature in my room and all that stuff, it's like we want about 18 degrees Celsius. Well, it's interesting that zero is 32 because if you multiply zero by two, it's zero and then you add 30.

Yeah. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. I love that. That'll help me. I got some Canadian in-laws. Yeah.

Sometimes we're communicating Celsius and Fahrenheit. There they go. It's brutal today. It's 30. I ain't going out. You come up, bring a jacket, bring a big coat. Yeah. Because that could happen.

You could show up. But it's 90. You go, you told me it was 30, and you brought only winter clothes. Yeah. Because no one really. I wonder if that happens to families. I bet it does. They don't.

I bet it does, too. They go, they just, someone's going to visit, you know, someone from Alabama that's like, I don't know, my cousin married a girl from canada which is basically marrying someone from mars yeah and opa laka that's true and so then your family's got to go up there to the wedding and they go now you know it's going to be 30 all week and they go what and they already think canada's cold so they're like oh my god yeah i mean that's it doesn't even really get that cold that often in Alabama.

Yeah. So then they go buy stuff at Bass Pro Shop, which is an easy $200 to go to this wedding. And they get there and they can use none of it because it's 90 degrees. 86. 86. Yeah. While you were gone, Dusty's wife became a U.S. citizen. 86. Yeah. Yeah.

While you were gone, Dusty's wife became a U.S. citizen. That is true. Yeah. She's official. Yeah. Congrats. Yeah. That's awesome.

So. Yeah. So you're a citizen now, I think. She is. Yeah. And your kids are? Kids are, I think she's going to work on that. Okay. Are you going to become a Canadian citizen?

No. Any interest in that? No, I mean, I'm good. I mean, I'd love to hear more about New Zealand. I'd like to live there. Actually, I'd never heard of this most isolated city in the world. Yeah. I'm interested in that.

It's a cool city though But yeah I mean it is You're out there You know when you think about where you would go If you know like say this You know if you ever think about If you left this America What country

I don't know where I would want to go Australia could be very up there Because you're just You're out there New Zealand you're just, you're out there. New Zealand. You're, you're just on, you're on your,

your, you're on your own, your way out there. Yeah. You know, they still speak English. They speak English. Pretty,

pretty important. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was, uh, yeah, I,

I, I love the whole, I'm a giant fan. It's one of the best places I've ever been to. Like where you're like, oh, I could stay here. And you're there so long. I mean, you get, you're just like, you know, you're in your own world. And then next year, like got to come home and you're like, you got to get back in.

I mean, I want to come home, but you're just like, you know, when we were out there with Lauren Harper out there, it's like you're just out there and you really can't talk to anybody. You just kind of, we had tours set up and we went and saw a bunch of stuff. And yeah, it was fun. Well, if you do relocate, you're probably going to need a job. Maybe you want to upload to Indeed. And let me tell you something, Brian. Finding great talent doesn't have to be a second job. You keep saying it does, but I'm telling you it doesn't.

You can hire faster and better with Indeed. You just need to breathe, take it easy, keep it simple. If you're hiring, you need Indeed, and here's why. It is the hiring platform where you can attract, interview, and hire all in one place. Stop spending hours on multiple job sites looking for candidates with the right skills. Bird watching. So there's Joe, his habitat. Bird watching.

Loves it. Chase. That's Chase. Chase with binoculars backwards. Yeah. I'm just kidding. There's Joe getting into it. This guy.

He's seen 657 birds. Does Joe wear glasses? Yeah. What's he do with the binoculars and the glasses? He has them on. I can't get, oh, he does. Yeah. I can't get binoculars to work with the glasses.

So there's a thing that you kind of, you kind of pull them out a little bit. Like there should be like at the, the eye part, you kind of pull it out a little bit. Oh should be like at the the eye part you kind of pull it out a little bit oh okay maybe i need that's uh so there's this at the world cup game oh yeah uh very fun how big is this is this bigger than a like a college football game or is it comparable or yeah maybe it's 50 000 yeah that's big yeah i'm kind of guessing uh and then that's one of the places i performed uh it's a cool theater uh yeah it was very cool uh god where was that melbourne or brisbane uh australia it was melbourne melbourne because i saw arch barker arch barker a very funny comedian i saw that's the guy i was gonna just show just show him Soulsby that he cut our hair.

Very cool guy. Fan of the podcast. Fan of. And now he helps you with your diet. Helps me with my diet. I hired him. So, yeah. Arch Barker.

Did you see this? I posted this on my stories. This elevator, this hotel we stayed at, Emporium. uh look at the elevator like when you go in i was amazed by this every whoa yeah how fun is that's awesome yeah and they would have different ones they had well they had a shark that kept like hitting the glass and i only saw it once i didn't get video of it i kept trying to get every time i opened it i was i mean it makes riding the elevator i couldn't wait for it i mean i was like oh wow we're about to see and then wow still no yeah i just spent an hour or two on that elevator oh right i could ride it

all day long some people get on it they're not even really acknowledging it. And you're like, how are you not acknowledging what we're in right now? They're not riding these boring elevators like we ride all the time around here. Yeah. Maybe Australia's like, this is a normal. Yeah. You know. Some plaque of the. They do it all day long.

Yeah. Of the person that checks the elevators. Yeah, yeah. Cherry Berry out in North Carolina. Is that who it is? Yeah, it's Cherry Berry or something like that. That checks the elevator. Yeah, yeah. Cherry Berry out in North Carolina. Is that who it is? Yeah, it's Cherry Berry or something like that. That checks the... She was like the North Carolina elevator checker, whatever that title is.

Mm-hmm. I wonder how much do they check elevators? There's a sign in all of them that has a date on it. Yeah. Yeah, someone signs it. Yeah. You're like, how you what do you how do you check an elevator they ride in it and they go seems good yeah yeah aaron jump in here

the stress test yeah yeah uh they do have to do it once a year i think right or once every few years i would hope more than that i thought it was like maybe every six months i thought that was minimum i wouldn't mind a monthly check. Yeah. Just come on through here and make sure this thing's... I think every place should maybe have an elevator guy at their place. Teach one of the guys there some

elevator. Some elevator stuff. Yeah. Fix the wires, that kind of... I don't even know how they work. Yeah, because they just sign. It is like as... I don't want a part-time guy just learning how to fix the wires, though. Never heard that before. That's what he says. Oh, yeah, right, right, right.

He's stuck in there, too. He goes, I'll tell you what, bud. He goes, this is about the 15th time I've been stuck in this elevator. And I go, and you're their elevator guy? He's real small-talked and relaxed. Yeah, he goes, nah, I'll be fine. Someone come get us. I've been in this situation many times.

I did this yesterday. I thought I fixed it. I wonder if you are an elevator fixer if you have to get stuck in one. Do they have a school where it's just a bunch of elevators? That's their boot camp? You just get stuck in one. Those firemen that run up the obstacle course yeah they had that elevators where it's like

you got to fix an elevator and it's just going you know can you fix it could you fix it with the bump and then we go to disney world ride the terror tower tower of terror whatever that is and then the elevator guy goes this would never. Maybe it wouldn't be fun to ride with. Because you go, we're about to hit the drop. And he goes, it would never drop like this. And that's the last thing he says before you drop on the Tower of Terror. This is fake. I'm an elevator guy.

Is that what the Tower of Terror is? You're in an elevator and it falls? That's terrifying. Yeah. Hey, that's where? That's terrifying. Yeah. Hey, that's where they got the name. Yeah. Does Arj Barker live in Australia? Yeah.

So Arj Barker, he's huge in Australia, in Melbourne. Just a wonderful person. I saw Arj, I mean, I haven't seen him in 15 years. Who's Arj Barker? He's a comedian. Oh, okay. I worked with him at Zany's and he was on Flight of the Conchords. Yeah.

Okay. Very funny. Great dude. And I saw James. He's American. Yeah. And I saw James Smith, who's from Australia. And me and him, my first video I have on YouTube, I believe it's the first one, is.

He's ARJ. I'm at Rascal's. I'm at Rascal's in New new jersey it's his club that closed down and so it's the first video i posted ever living by stand-up and uh it was me and this guy james smith uh and i saw james there james had he he started his cancer and he had to go home and uh but he's was in good spirits and seemed to be doing good and i've seen him a long time but i mean i i've started with that guy and uh so it was pretty it was i was glad to like get to see him he came out to uh the show in uh sydney i think yeah

and uh but it was cool yeah it was it was very fun. And, yeah, I mean, they would keep telling me comics over there. I knew Arj, and I knew them. And then, but they'd say, but you know this guy? I don't know. It's like their guy, whoever the Australian guy is, and he's like enormous over there. But a lot of American comics going over there now. Tim Dillon, I saw his sign for him coming up in October over there,

and I think Andrew Schultz just announced the thing. So a lot of comics are going over there, and they got a good, you know, the crowds are great. They got a good scene. I believe it seems like they can get up a lot. I met two comics, two guys there Open on the show Were moving to New York and So

yeah out there loving every minute of it anyway how's chattanooga well we're happy you're back a lot of people in the comments like to call you our dad so we're happy that our dad's back you know we missed you yeah um yeah i appreciate it yeah they act like y'all did a great job they act like we just go wild when you're gone they go oh when dad's away the kids will play and i'm like what what are we doing here? You know what I mean? We're just providing quality content. I think, did you wear my hat? I don't think so. Do you have one of those Tennessee?

Yeah. You got two of them? Yeah. Oh, because I have one too. I figured they sent that to me just because they cut me out of the commercial. Oh, yeah. Well, I got one too. You know what?

Let me give you some stuff. Yeah. They didn't send their name. They didn't get me anything. Oh, yeah? That's all right. I did it just because I love the Titans. They didn't get me anything. Oh yeah. That's all right. I did it just because I love the Titans. I didn't do it for the free stuff.

That's true. Well, me either. I mean, I did it for, to be on video. I wanted to be shown. And then they got rid of that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Had to cut someone. Yeah. They already had Hardy. You know what though? Yeah. Yeah. Can't have two Hardys. Yeah.

You know, a guy at the post office recognized me from the video though. And, uh, that really helped me a lot. He was from the Titans video. There's no way he said, I think he saw like they shared the, the, the, uh, things of us saying these people, these people made cameos. So he saw that. And then I think he went back and looked, but he was not very nice to me prior to that. Now he's like my buddy in there. Oh, really? Yeah. He wasn't rude to me, but he just wasn't super friendly.

Yeah. But now we're like, we're like buddies. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know how friendly would he, you want him to be. Well, I like that at the Hermitage post office, they don't do a lot of small talk because that's hard. You know know you're going in there with 15 packages you're small talk and you're like you're not you move beyond

small talk you're like let's be friends yeah and we don't need that yeah you know what i mean we're just trying to mail packages here yeah now you have it well if you're friends because of an outside influence fine but you know not over you don't want to bond over packages. You know what I mean? Are you there every day? No. Thankfully, my merch company has now taken over my online merch. So soon we'll have a store.

Big time. And I'll maybe never go to the post office again. Oh. You think you'll go back just to kind of- Maybe. You got a friend there now. Yeah. You got to go check in with him. I still have my post office box so i may go in there and see him and

just say hey to him yeah go hey nothing to mail today just want to say hey that guy was one of our biggest biggest mailers yeah for a long time yeah yeah you go there and solve people's problems because people always have a problem when they go to mail i mean there's always you don't know what to do oh yeah and so you could go and you think you could sit there and help? I could help. What if you did go and you're one of the people on the outside? Because I think the inside is so frustrated with the outside. That's true. And so like if they had someone like you, that was like, I'm going to get them somewhat at least prepared before they get to the inside. Right.

Yeah. Because it's frustrating to learn how to use the post office. Like sometimes you go in there and you're like, hey, do you got any tape? And they're like, you know, they're almost like, yeah, we got some tape, but you didn't tape your package up before you got here. Yeah. So, but from my perspective, I'm like. We're not your garage. Right.

I'm like, I don't know what to do. And they're like, well, how did you not know to not tape it before you got here? And first you'd be like, well, that's crazy that you're mad that I'm asking for tape. But now you're the person that you'd be like. I'm like, I'm in the post office. Yeah. Bring your own tape. Yeah.

Speed it up. Yeah. I've been doing this for a long time. Yeah. And you should bring your own tape. Yeah. You should get your own tape. Tape's not free out here.

Cost somebody money. Yeah. You know, the, the tax payers are paying. I'm not paying your own tape. Yeah, you should get your own tape. Tape's not free out here. Cost somebody money. Yeah. You know, the tax payers are paying. I'm not paying for your tape. Maybe that's why someone does want the tape though because they go,

well, I am paying for this tape. That's true. So, I'd like to see their tax returns. Go, how much tape did you buy? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah.

You've been buying and selling a lot on Facebook Marketplace. Well, I like to, well, I try to sell a bookshelf for my mom. And then I finally got a buyer for it. And then they went to my mom's house and it wasn't there. And I called my mom. She goes, oh, no, I got rid of that.

I was like, okay. So that was pretty frustrating. Yeah. Because I was viewing it from their perspective. Like if someone had sent me to their house to get the thing and then I find out they already sold it, I'd be so mad. You drove all the way out there. Oh, actually, I bought a thing from a guy that said he went to high school with you. Oh, yeah?

Yeah. The other day. I bought some kind of kitchen pantry. And he was like, you look familiar to me have we met and i don't want to go no i do comedy because then i don't want him to go nah that's not it yeah you know titan's video yeah so he said that he went to high school with you i don't remember his name yeah all right nice guy it's good yeah we took a pic but it was so long ago now it'd take me a minute to find yeah yeah and i also don't want to show it on the podcast and then you'd be like nah don't remember the guy yeah that guy's lying to you yeah yeah yeah i

probably did i had the guy at southwest counter let's check my bag said uh you do comedy and i'm like yeah he recognized me and there was a pretty long line waiting. And he said, I've been thinking about getting into that. Um, and he starts asking me all these questions while people are waiting and I'm waiting. And he said, uh, I went to coffee once with Jessica Carter, you know, her. And I was like, yeah, I know Jessica. And he said, she said to write all the time and try to be clean. He's like, why would I want to do that? I want to get dirty up in here. And yeah and then like the woman next to him kind of looks over like what is going on over here it was a pretty lengthy conversation though while people are waiting but yeah he had he held me hostage yeah he's like i'm checking people in here all day i don't always get to talk to a

comedian he's a corporate he's a corporate guy so he's like i want to get out of the corporate world yeah and be let loose yeah let them know what i really think yeah i was advised by jessica though He's a corporate guy, so he's like, I want to get out of the corporate world. Yeah. Let loose. Yeah. Let them know what I really think. Yeah. Great advice by Jessica, though. It was great. I forgot that this happened.

I was at the Burbank Airport in California, and I bumped into a guy. I hit him with my bag by accident, and he kind of looked up at me, and he goes, Aaron Weber? I go, yeah. And he's listening to this podcast on his phone and i bumped into this dude that's awesome and he was like he kind of looked shaken up by it like that would be a surreal experience oh to be listening and then you get bumped into the guy that's on your phone do you not see the caution sign around you uh that would be yeah that would be the craziest thing ever i think you saw him listening you bumped into him no no not a chance yeah that's great that's crazy that's pretty awesome what if it's your voice if he heard sorry you say sorry and your voice is in his ears well i bumped into him i said sorry and then he

kind of like jogged to like catch back up with me it was like are you yeah because i was just listening to you pretty crazy yeah that's got to be one that you're like well i have to tell this person that definitely yeah it'd be weird if you yeah yeah i had a guy in the airport yesterday he goes you're a famous comedian i go well i'm a comedian i don't know if i'm famous and uh we took a bit that's a good story uh but i thought it was funny he goes you're a famous comedian i go well i'm a comedian i don't know if i'm famous and uh we took a bit that's a good story uh but i thought it was funny he goes you're a famous comedian and i'm like well if i was that famous you would remember my name yeah yeah but people don't remember anybody like i mean that's like when i do i'd ever like i saw you on jimmy kimmel you know i've never been on

jimmy kimmel yeah but i mean i mean all the people go, that's all you're on Kimmel or Colbert. They just say everything. Oh, yeah. The only things I've never been on. Yeah. Because it doesn't really matter. I mean, it's my last special. It's like, you know, oh, well, I saw your last.

It's like they don't really. They either were all on Netflix or they were all on Amazon or they were all. Like people just. Yeah, it's like Coke. Everything's a Coke. Yes. So everything's Netflix. Everything's Jimmy Coke. Yes. So everything's Netflix. Everything's Jimmy Kimmel.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you want to say where y'all, I did a corporate this weekend, my rental car.

And I think you mentioned briefly, this just happened to you. It wasn't full. Yeah. And I didn't notice it till I was already on the road. So when I got back, I told the lady, I said, uh, Hey, um, this car, it was only two thirds full when I got it.

And she goes, is that more than half? And I said, yeah, yeah, that's more than half. And she's like, well, did you take a picture of it? And I was like, no, because I just thought, you know, I could lie about anything. I could let it get down to E and say it was empty. And she's like, well, you should have taken a picture of it. Nothing I can do. Well, there's a timestamp when you take a picture.

So that's why you take a picture. I've taken a picture. And you could do a video. Show the miles on the odometer. Show them, go get a newspaper. Yeah. Show them the newspaper. Like a hostage video.

Why don't you just show them the newspaper you bought? Yeah. I them the newspaper. Like a hostage video. Why don't you just show them the newspaper you bought? Yeah. I did have one. They go, sir, you could show the newspaper. You look like a guy that would be walking. You probably had the next day's newspaper. Yeah. And then, yeah, I always take a picture.

Because then you go, I got a picture. And they're going to just be like, yeah, yeah. You could probably do E, but. They got you. But they're going to be like, yeah, yeah. You could probably do E, but- They got you. But they're going to see the date if they really want to look into it. Did you pay to have it refilled, or did you refill it yourself? I filled it back up to where it was when I got it. Oh, okay.

Stuck it to them. But she still charged me for- She took some off, but they still charged me for it not being full. Oh, yeah. That's frustrating. $10 a gallon. $10 a gallon? Wow. That's crazy. Yeah gallon crazy yeah yeah ten ten dollars cheaper than it is outside yeah yeah yeah that's insane i agree that's the thing that's what yeah rental cars do that rental companies because

you're like where where are you getting this gas yeah yeah petrol Yeah. Petrol. That's what they say in Australia. Well, that's what they'll say. They'll go, or you can pay to have it filled back up. And I go, okay, how much is that? They go $100. And I go, no, I'll just do it myself. They did that to me one place. It was a truck.

They were like $100. I was like, no, I don't think so. You can pay the best you can prepay and you get a better price on the gas. Well, that's what they were. But then you got to make sure you're going to be timing this thing out. Yeah. Right. So you got to bring it right in.

You got to, I mean, you want to be rolling in. You're pushing it. Driving around the airport. I've had some, yeah, I've had some good ones. I've had some bad ones and some good ones. And I've had a couple where I did it. And then you're like, what was I thinking? Like, you're just like, I barely used gas.

Yeah. And then I've had some where, I mean, I like, I even had to fill it up. Like you put like $3 in it just to, I'm just trying to get to the airport. Yeah. And then you just try, just let it coast in and go, it's your, it's your problem now.

Yeah. You know, but I did it. Yeah. Yeah. Louisville. I was in Louisville the Australia of Kentucky I do regret

I don't regret it but a lot of people heard my comments last week and the week before I mean my whole Louisville family is here right now honestly there's 15 Louisville people outside I can't believe you'd talk like that about us.

Stop, dude. You were so on board. And then the cameras cut off, and Dusty's like, honestly, I would have said a lot worse. We had to cut Dusty's part about Louisville. Yeah, you should have seen what made. Dusty almost forgot what this podcast was about. That's how mad he got. But I'll say this about the people of Louisville.

They had a good sense of humor about it. They know what's going on out there. We had a good time. Thank you for the people that came out to the show. Good for you. Had a laugh, Louisville. You know, I always like driving through Louisville because the interstate goes right through the city.

But, you know, they built this bridge at one point, and it was the interstate bridge, and they just turned it into a toll road. Oh, yeah. And I wrote the mayor a letter. I'm in an email complaining about it. The mayor of Louisville or the mayor of Louisville? Because, you know, it's half in Louisville, it's half in Indiana.

But they directed me somewhere else. But the whole thing was like, we're just paying for the bridge. So I just wanted to know, you know, how close are we? Did you email the responsible government? Yeah, I guess so. Well, I don't know if they said they weren't responsible. And then they, I think that's what you do as a government. Just go, just send them.

Yeah, you gotta go talk to this guy and then it's done and then you give up after a while I feel like a class action lawsuit came against them about that bridge though well he stayed with the story

yeah I feel like I'll look that up but I went to Kansas City had a great time hot shows love going to Kansas City

the improv been there a bunch of times people came out lots of listeners of the podcast. A lot of hay bears. Very fun. Yeah. Very fun.

A lot of tattooed people in Kansas City. I find that they look good. I mean, they got it going on, but it's a big tattoo city, it feels like. How much of that is a function of who's coming to see you versus the city in general? That could be it too but i feel like when i'm traveling around it's not there's always tattooed people but i just noticed in kansas city a lot of like sleeves and full legs you know where do they park all the motorcycles for your crowd do they let them share spots yeah Yeah. Yeah. They split them up. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, it was, it is a mixture of people that come to my shows and I like that.

That's a lot of fun. Yeah. Yeah. That's the best. It is. Old people, young people, people bringing their whole families. It's great. It's a wonderful thing.

It really is. It's a cross section of America. Judge rejects class action requests for the riverlink toll of course he does he's probably getting paid by riverlink yeah probably getting some kickbacks from riverlink and he's like you know what actually i'm getting a percentage of those tolls yeah tolls are the the one that you're like what is this for yeah we're lucky in tennessee yeah Yeah, because it's like with this bridge in particular, they're like, we're trying to pay off the bridge. And I'm like, all right, I'm fine to pay a toll until we get the bridge paid for.

But how close are we? That's what I want to know. It's not like it's a one-time cost. There's going to be recurring costs with it. But if enough people were doing it, there has to be a cost. recurring costs with it but if enough people were doing it there has to be a cost so there has to be you know uh like you just want some like there has to be a thing where they go like all right we got the loan paid off yeah we own the bridge yeah so now it's going to cost you know five hundred thousand dollars a year to keep it going. So we're just going to, you know, just like,

you know, it could be like, we're going to do 500,000, we're going to sporadically choose, or maybe it's like we do it, you know, and you got your guys that go out there and, you know, one guy just like, I'll pay for it. He's just driving back and forth. And then they do these things called convenience fees, right? So they charge you, you drive through and then you're charged a toll. And then when you go online to pay it, they add on more as a convenience fee, but it was pretty inconvenient that I have to go and pay this. Yeah. It doesn't just take off your, yeah.

Yeah. I mean, it's like, at least when you're driving through like Chicago and you pull in and you can give them money. I prefer that. Let me give this guy a dollar and a quarter. I think when you rent cars, they just, it goes on the license plate and it just, they take it out of your thing. People could get away. It's always crazy. When you charge that fee, it's like you get away with a lot more if you just take it out.

they when you charge that fee it's like you get away with a lot more if you just just take it out because then people are going to be like everybody's got so much money taken out of like you're you got so many subscriptions or all that kind of stuff you don't know what's getting taken out of where like you could be you know so it's like you can just have stuff what is that for yeah and you're like i don't know. I went to Indiana once. Oh. Before we get into that, Dusty, you want to tell us about AG1? I had just had some AG1. We did. Our next partner is AG1.

All of us are trying to take our AG1 by Athletic Greens every day. We all gave AG1 a try because we wanted increased energy and immune system support for our busy lifestyles. And that is true. We all like to take AG1 in the morning before starting the day. And it makes us feel like we're doing something good to cover all our nutritional bases. It's much easier to mix one scoop of powder. All right. Well, that's good.

I'm happy to have people come along. I had a joke. i got a joke i and i i'll i guess i i can say because i don't know if it's going to stay in uh because i talk about stuff in the future but i do think like it's like maybe it will i could do but i like uh it's just one little line uh but like saying like they'll have like in 100 years you're gonna go to the museum and it's gonna be like a you know a clay person like with staring at their microwave but it's talking on the cell phone yeah like being in just the future's gonna be like can you believe they were they used to do that and they go where was that though was that in like a second microwave

house you're like no no that was like near the baby's room yeah you go what yeah and like that's what they end up showing amen i want you to know i i am conscious of microwaves more now all right i haven't changed my behavior in any way but i'm thinking about it that's where it starts the first step all we're trying to do is plant seeds why are you more conscious because we talked about it so much now every time i look at a microwave i'm thinking about i think i think what is actually happening well you do think that it's just it is crazy that something is going in eight seconds something can be hot like it just seems impossible just wait till the next time you see the horizon baby steps josh wharton in high school buddy and I selected microwaves as our topic for the science fair.

We learned that microwaves heat up your food by heating the water inside your food. Those hot water molecules inside your food are what actually heat the food around them. So putting a cup of water in your microwave while your food is warming up definitely helps. All right. Yeah, I think people came to aaron's defense that that is a correct thing is that uh i didn't say it was correct that's that how big's your microwave that you're putting i got sent a lot of videos of people putting a jug in there plenty of room in the corner yeah dude yeah i'll put a cup in there a coffee cup or uh i think it's just

a plastic cup shot glass one of those orange gatorade tubs what kind of science fair is this where you're just like let's just study microwaves yeah on a budget sounds like a but as science fairs you have to do something yeah now you have to conduct an experiment maybe they had to build but if he did this pre-internet it'd make more sense right because right? Because you'd be like, oh, okay. Maybe. So if your food's real dry, the microwave doesn't really do anything for it then. That's why you need that water.

They tell you to pour a little water in the – I think that never works out. When they say pour it on the food, I think every time I've done that, it doesn't work out. I just microwave straight up. I don't bring water into it. It is what it is. It is what it is. That's why I can make stuff soggy. Sometimes it's better to do stovetops.

You put it in the microwave, it makes it all soggy. Laura likes stovetops because it tastes better. Yeah. But we're just trying to get to the solution to a problem. Stovetops, especially if you have a gas range, it is so fast to heat up things so fast seems like a lot is it faster than a microwave it's pretty fast what you have to do is you have to get the pot yeah you're adding all that clean the thing after it's a nightmare oh don't even get me started yeah microwave you just pop it in you don't clean the microwave you throw it away clean a microwave once a year yeah you just throw it in. If you don't clean the microwave, you throw it away. Clean a microwave once a year. You just throw it away.

You don't clean it. Disposable microwave. You use it until it stops, and then you throw it away, then you get another one. No one cleans a microwave for six years if you have a microwave. There's no way he's cleaning a microwave once a year. Maybe because Lucy's there. Maybe there's more eyes on the microwave. Every now and then

there's a catastrophe where you're like, I've got to clean this right now. But just routine wear and tear. Have you microwaved a hard-boiled egg? Have we talked about that? No. I mean, it completely explodes. Oh, yeah.

That's good. Lesson learned. Don't put a hard-boiled egg in there. Not like it blows up and it's like, oh, man, that thing exploded. I mean, there's nothing. It's just all over the walls. And it's just like, I don't know. Why did you microwave a hard-boiled egg?

Well, it was years ago and they had brought over some Easter eggs. And I don't really like a cold hard-boiled egg. Is they the government? Yeah. Well, my mom. And I was like, well, let's heat this up. And the microwave, and I'm looking at it. I'm still using microwaves back then.

And it just is gone. Disintegrated. Yeah. You have to to clean that that's what i'm saying you like to eat a hot i like to boil the egg immediately take it out of the water start cracking the shell even have like a napkin around it so it's so hot i like to eat it like that yeah so you should have said i don't bring over hard boiled yeah don't bring over cold hard boilediled eggs. Yeah, don't bring over cold hard-boiled eggs. Yeah. Yeah. If you're like, hey, I want to do something nice. I want to get Dusty some hard-boiled eggs. Do it at Dusty's. Boil it on the way.

Yeah, yeah. Or at your house. Yeah, or in the car on the way over. Would you be annoyed, though, if they just said, we need to do it in your house? No, I'd be all right with it. It'd be weird if people walked in and be like, you mind if we boil a couple of eggs?

But I'm for it. Yeah. You know? Yeah, I have some. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I can handle a cold hard-boiled egg now.

But back then, I was strictly a hot hard-boiled egg guy. You got to eat them quick. Yeah. They get cold quick, I think. Yeah, you got to get in there. A lot of people call us Seinfeld, Jerry, George, Elaine, Kramer. And, Dusty, I mean, this is an open company. You are the Kramer of this group.

Because I listen to his other podcasts. And every week, there's a new thing that you got to try this, Jerry. It's now organic toilet paper. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the only way to go. I've heard about, I've been reading about toilet paper. Yeah, yeah. It's gross, but it's, get the organic stuff.

Turtlet paper. Aaron Hurd. This podcast has reached a new level of entertainment for me when brian asked what your strategy was for loading dishwasher and you replied plates on the bottom cups on top i nearly choked on my drink not an expert here but i'm pretty sure that's the strategy for everyone every time for every dishwasher yeah well you think that you would think that i feel like someone criticized you for your strategy.

There was some debate talking about where bowls go. Yeah. Yeah. Plates and cups. That's obvious, but there's all kinds of other stuff, dude.

So, Aaron, why don't you cool it a little bit? Spells it the same way you do. Cool it on the top because it's cooler at the top, right? Yes.

Yes. But now they have the, even the top shelf has its own little sprayer up there. Right? No, I haven't seen one that advanced. I got a new one not long ago.

Yeah. What I do is, uh, I got married. So I might've made that joke last week too, or when we did it, but it's a, you know,

it's a good joke in the eighties. Still relevant now. Uh, Katie Smith. I've heard from several sources to stop valuables. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. All right. Start over.

I've heard from several sources to store valuables in the dishwasher if a hurricane is coming. The dishwasher is airtight and it will keep important documents, et cetera, safe if your house gets flooded. Oh, it's like the black box on an airplane. Just don't forget and turn it on. And don't, yeah. But if your house is destroyed by a hurricane, how soon before you run a load in the dishwasher? Yeah.

But more likely, people doing this, nothing would happen to their house. Oh, that's true. And then they just, they forget. And then they- They go, is this clean or dirty? I don't know. Run it again.

Run it again. Yeah. It ain't going to hurt to run it again. Yeah. And then you got your birth certificate in there. Yeah. And your baby. Now, Courtney.

Probably clogs up. According to the internet, that would not work. If your house flooded, it would get in there. I don't know. Wow. I don't think so. Yeah. Oh, flooded, it would get in there. I don't know. Wow. I don't think so. Yeah. Oh, flooded.

Depends on how much. Sounds like something the safe industry would say. Yeah. Or the dish. I saw a tsunami. Did you see a clip of like a tsunami? In a film? No.

Okay. Like it's saying like for if you live in a place near a tsunami, it's like this. It's a thing that you climb in and you buckle up and you close the hatch. And so when it hits, you just stay in it until it floats you to the end and then you all get out. Oh, wow. But I mean, having one of those, like you got to be. I think if I need one of those, I'd probably just leave wherever I am. Yeah.

You know, if you got to have an escape pod. Yeah, because you get out, your house is is gone like how often will you be doing this well it shows that like it hits a car and you it's like a ride but it's got to be you know when you're on that ride and you're like just like i don't know you got to feel uncomfortable yeah there's only four seats yeah so somebody left out someone got a family of five yeah get in the dishwasher yeah you could tie you could tie a dishwasher to the back of it like a trailer oh yeah and then you got it you just got a rope and you do it and then you throw maybe the little kids in the dishwasher family gets in the tsunami thing imagine you have a family of four and you

have relatives visiting and a tsunami's coming and you're like sorry dude we only got the one well i think you would go get in quietly yeah you go i think you'd all it's like when you're trying to leave a party early but not you just kind of irish goodbye yeah everybody kind of stands up and goes i'm gonna go check on dishwasher. And that's the secret word for, yeah, you know, let's get in the tsunami thing. And they go,

y'all are very relaxed for this tsunami coming. And you go, well, it happens all the time. And then they just, you're cooking. It just flushes down into the water. And then your family's in this,

you're looking through the window and they're all out there. Dad, come on. He goes, I told you we shouldn't be visiting this side of the family. It's your family. Yeah.

I don't know if I could be in one of those. I mean, just the claustrophobia. I mean, I know you're better than not. Yeah, that's a lot. But you would think

you're like, I'll just go. I started to get claustrophobic on a flight for like five seconds. And then I cooled off. But I could see how it happens. Yeah. You're like, man, there's not a lot of room up here. I can't go anywhere. And then I cooled off.

You got to block it out. And then I cooled off. Yeah, yeah. Let's just go to sleep. Shake it off real quick. And then you just went to sleep? I closed my eyes. Yeah. Tried not to think to sleep. Shake it off real quick. And then you just went to sleep? I closed my eyes. Yeah.

Tried not to think about it. Yeah. You got to, yeah, you got to, you got to close your eyes. You got to breathe. Like, I mean, when I first time it happened to me, I didn't know I had it and I was on the plane and I mean, I was like, man, I'm fired up on this plane. And I just felt, and I mean, it was like,

I was like just sitting there. It's like a plane that, you know, you just, I was like on the, I was on the aisle, but it was like three rows everywhere. And you're just kind of paying. And then I was like, and you start thinking like, how long is this flight? And I was trying to do anything to get your mind to not think about. It's tough. I hope it doesn't happen again. That's why I don't like a window seat because every time I end up with a window or a middle seat i mean that's a that is immediately

what i think i'm like god i gotta pee right now and then i'm like i can't get out of here yeah that that window seat messes with me after the claustrophobia thing yeah you uh yeah because you end up you just go out i just want to be in the aisle. Yeah. Be in control of what's, if I got to get up. Cause at least you don't feel, cause one trap can set off all the traps. So you're like, I'm just trying to not feel trapped. So if I'm on the aisle, I can get up. If I start feeling any, like you just kind of, I'll go to the bathroom. Yeah.

Remind myself I can go walk around and do whatever I want to do. Yeah. Like, but then if you're the first trap is you look over and you know, everybody's asleep and you're like, yeah, get out. Wow. And then the drink carts come in and you're like, I can't even go on track. Yeah.

You can spiral yourself out. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was, someone's on a plane right now. Yeah. There's a great chance. Someone's more than likely this is listened to on planes. And there's someone just sitting on the window right right now just be like just take deep breaths turn that little vent on

turn the vent on you're gonna be fine that does nothing dude yeah that does nothing you just put it right in your face especially if you have a hat you got to really get the hat off you got to take the hat off yeah yeah shirt off take your jacket off then if you're me take the hat off and then it's blowing your hair and it's tickling different parts of my face and that becomes irritating did you say take your shirt off yeah you need to do whatever you gotta do what you gotta do yeah uh you know would you rather me do this or freak out yeah i think they'd say freak out i handled the i mean i took something So that helped me with my flight. I was like, good.

But it was, yeah, when you're flying, I mean, to Australia, it's like you're in the air 15 hours. Yeah. Wow. It's a, I mean, it's a full day. It's a different mindset. It is. You can't just think about just tough it out. You got to.

You got to have a mindset of like, I live with these people. Yeah. And I'm going to go about my day. I'm going to watch a movie. I'm going to eat. Then I'm i'm gonna go to sleep and i'm gonna wake up and then watch a movie you can't just be like i want this flight to be over you gotta be like i gotta enjoy this flight because you're on it and you're just up there and you're just flying over the ocean that's how big you're flying over the ocean for 15 hours yeah yeah 500 miles an hour 600 miles an the ocean for 15 hours. Yeah. Yeah. 500 miles an hour, 600 miles an hour?

Yeah. For 15 hours? Mm-hmm. And you're just over the ocean? That's all you see is just water. That's how far Australia is. And that's how much ocean there is. We don't know anything about the ocean. No, we don't.

That's so much ocean. People love to say we've mapped it out with satellites, but we need to get down in there get in there well we tried yeah we tried recently and that's what i'm saying that's how much we don't know we just wanted to go down look at an old ship and we got boom yeah i didn't mean to say like that but that is what happened though that's what it sounded like video of that showing you what would happen. But it's at least instant. It looks like it's like, it seems unfathomable. Like it just, you're just, it just crushes and then you're, yeah.

Yeah. It's not going to take long anyway. I mean, it just, drowning in general feels like it would be pretty quick. But they didn't drown. They were pulverized. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They wouldn pulverized. Yeah. Yeah.

They wouldn't even know. Sorry if anybody's listening to this on a sub. There's a great chance of that. Yeah. There's a great chance of that. Take deep breaths right now. Take your hat off. Get that little vent.

Take your shirt off if you have to. Take your shirt off. You can. You're in a sub. Much more appropriate. Yeah. The Australia episode comments. All right.

Irma Zandy. Irma Zandal. Sounds like someone from Australia. An update slash correction for Brian on the most populous city in Australia. It is Melbourne, not Brisbane. Yeah. Yeah. My mistake.

A lot of people pointed that out. It's foolish, isn't it? It was foolish because Brisbane and Sydney are almost both twice the size of Brisbane. I don't know what you just said. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Melbourne and Sydney are both almost twice the size of Brisbane. That's what I meant to say. Brisbane is-

That wasn't even close. Well, Brisbane's the largest. I mean, every week I meant to say. Brisbane is. It wasn't even close. Well, Brisbane's the largest. I mean, every week I have to do a crash test. I understand that. Brisbane is the largest. Elementary. Land area. Okay.

So I Googled something that said Brisbane was the largest city. You said, yeah, okay. You didn't know what they meant by biggest. I mean, I didn't take the, I just trusted them, but. Yeah. That's what we learned today. You can't trust, can't trust anybody.

Yep. Maybe do one more click. Yep. Don't have time. Yeah. Uh, Jake Boardman. God,

Australia's got some great names. Yeah, that is a good name there's a good one coming up below that too jake boardman boardman boardman surfer jake boardman that's like the kid his fan his dad does very well but he's like the cool kid that's like chairman of the boardman yeah well it's like but jake is like you're like he's doesn't have a job his dad's kind of probably going like he's not going to take over the business. Right. But he's not worried about not having a job.

He doesn't need to. And he's a good dude. So it's a dude that's got money that's a good dude that you're like, no, dude, he's the best. He's chill. Very chill. Yeah. You're like, he's a fun guy. Yeah.

I'm going to do Harold Holt and Bolt. I'm going to do a Harold Holt and Bolt is what you say when you want to leave a party early in Australia. I mean, I didn't read before in the comment. That's Jake. That's who it is. That's Harold Holt and Bolt. Jake to a T. Jake to a T.

And he said ya instead of you. I like it. I'm going to Harold and Bolt is what ya say. Harold Holt and Bolt. Harold. I'm going to do a Harold Holt. Harold Holton Bolt Harold I don't know Who is Harold Holt? Harold Holt is the Prime Minister who drowned

Off the coast That we talked about Oh Oh that's a much darker joke Than I thought it was I should say disappeared That Yeah

The one that we never And apparently I looked this up A lot of people say I'm going to do a Harold Holt And that just means I'm out of here They take a lot of things

In stride over there So that's the Literate So that was in 1967 so that's basically the same as making like a kennedy joke for us but i don't know if we have a headache like a kennedy i think people say that i've never heard that you haven't heard that yeah i think i first say i need to leave like i need a hole in my head. Something like that. That means you don't need to leave. Oh, yeah. Fair enough. I need to stay like I need a hole in my head.

See ya. I feel like Kinsey's harsher, though, because the way he died. Harold Holt could still be alive for all we know. But he's not. First of all, he'd be 115 right now. He's probably done. They had a tortoise at the zoo. Mm-hmm. he'd be 115 right now. So he's probably done. They had a tortoise at the zoo.

And it might be. Got assassinated? No, it was. 110. Yeah, they're like that. The one that one of them just died. And it was Darwin gave it to him. Wow.

It was from Darwin. Yeah. They have a city he's got a whole city name. How big was it? Huh? How big was it? Like a huge. Yeah.

But I mean that's how long they live. Yeah. Some reptiles never stop growing as long as they live. But I mean can you imagine a tortoise it's like like a dinosaur.

He was he was at this zoo. Yeah. They're from the Galapagos Islands. Yeah. He's at the zoo and then they go yeah from the Galapagos Islands. Yeah. He was at the zoo. And then they go, yeah, he was with Charles Darwin. You know who this guy was hanging out with?

Charles Darwin. Charles Darwin. He ran Lincoln. He's like, that kid? He wouldn't even heard about Kennedy. I mean, he's like, he stopped following the news. Yeah, he was 100 when that happened. Yeah, he goes, I quit paying attention.

It's the same story over and over again. Yeah, he lived to be like 150. Yeah, he goes, I quit paying attention. It's the same story over and over again. Yeah, he lived to be like 150. Yeah. That's crazy, man. There's 190. 190? Yeah. All right.

Yeah. Harold Holt. All right. Peggy Karp. That's another great name. Peggy Karp. Peggy, is that a good, that's a good comedy name.

You always talk about a good comedy. Peggy. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Peg Bundy. Peggy Bundy. a good... That's a good comedy name. You always talk about a good comedy. Peggy. Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Peg Bundy. Peggy Bundy.

Yeah. Who's that? Ted Bundy. Al Bundy. Yeah, Ted Bundy's wife. I thought you meant Ted Bundy. Yeah, it was Ted Bundy's wife. You remember that comedy show that Ted Bundy was on?

Ted and Peggy. Out to dinner. What did he do? He was a shoe salesman. That's not what Ted Bundy did. We're talking about Al Bundy from Mary Bush Children. What's Ted Bundy? He was a murderer.

He was a serial killer. Certified bad guy. Pretty attractive guy, they say, though. Well, he could change his appearance. He was one of those guys that was like, he could look like 15 different people. It's pretty wild. Oh, really?

Like just by glass. If you look at a collage of pictures of him, you're like, these don't look like the same guy that they do, but they like, he can, if he's in a good mood, he looks very handsome.

If he, he can look evil real quickly. Bizarre. He must've been born to do it. He had no choice. How can you do a podcast on Australia without talking about the history of the Aboriginal Australians who have lived there for over 50,000 years? Rabbit Proof Fence, a movie based on the true story of three Aboriginal girls who escaped from a government resettlement home and walked a thousand miles back to their home. They have an Aboriginal flag up now on the bridge.

They have a bridge in Sydney that you can walk over and they have the Australian and Aboriginal flag there. That's cool. So did every. Oh, that's a movie. I thought she was just saying that rabbits are a big problem. No, it's about people. I blacked out for a second. I recommend having a rabbit.

I also highly recommend a rabbit proof fence. And I was like, oh, okay. Well, yeah. I did one of those too. You have to keep the rabbits out. I bet there is a rabbit. Or is. I bet that was.

Yeah. Because I bet there is a rabbit proof fence yeah or maybe this movie came out first and then the rabbit proof people were like we gotta figure out where did flags did every community in the world independently create their own flag or did they realize oh i need a flag do you know what i mean you said yeah so fast like let's move on dumb question uh they picked the colors eddie izzard has a very funny joke about when britain claimed india and the indians were like uh there's 500 million of us here already. You can't claim it. And he's like, well, do you have a flag? Because that's all they would do.

Yeah, you put a flag down. Yeah. That's what they did in Australia. You got to have a flag. Flag now. Yeah. Back then they didn't have flags. It was probably a little more honest.

But now. Now, if you got a flag. Once you saw the flag thing coming, you're like, you can't stop. But I'm sure the Aboriginals, I mean, because I think we talked about James Cook just put a flag in for Britain and on Australia. Aboriginals are probably like, dude,

we're here. You can't just claim it. Yeah. I know we debate time stuff, right? It's like 50,000 years. It's like, they might've been there

since the beginning. Sure. But do we really know? I mean, that's a long time, 50,000 years. You know what I mean? It is a long time. I don't think anybody debates debates that that's a good amount of time but hard to like

as far as i know they they're only saying that there's like evidence of like civilized man for like 7 000 years something like that maybe 10 no there's a lot that is i don't think so i think there is yeah but that's for a different part. That's for an archaeology episode. I thought creationist felt the earth was like 6,000 years old. Right, but I'm saying that even the non-religious community says that it's about roughly 10,000 years ago when they started to discover civilized man. I Googled this last night and they said we've been around for like over 100,000 years. I don't know. That must be new

yeah well some new stuff it's the google and you're trying to read the bible so i'd maybe yeah trust the bible yeah yeah trust the google yeah they go well i think google knows uh no i don't uh the google doesn't know is ezekiel Smith. Oh, this guy that wrote the Bible. Uh, they've asked a lot of questions of Aaron on this show. He normally answers with a lot of thought without a lot of, without a lot of thought. But when bang,

bang asked what's your waffle house order? He sighed and said, you want to get into it as though it was a personal question, not fit for polite conversation conversation like politics or religion. That's very funny. Very serious. What did you say? Well, we don't have to get into it.

But it was, I remember we were. Oh, an all-star. That's when we were. No, that's what I said. Oh, okay. Well, I thought, I think at the time, here's my thought process at the time is we were waiting for Nate to come upstairs. And I don't know how much time we have. And I'm thinking, is this what we want to commit the five minutes without Nate?

Do we want to just talk about what we get at Waffle House? When your star is going to shine. That's exactly right. You want it to be. I go, this is all right. I guess we're. Yeah. And we got into it.

I wanted to show people that you can do more than just have a Waffle House order. Because most people will be like, obviously you got a Waffle House order. Because most people would be like, obviously, you've got a Waffle House order. With that Carhartt shirt. And he goes, I mean, come on. He goes, he can do Waffle House order in his sleep. Let's talk about some science. Exactly. Exactly.

That's what was going on. What is your Waffle House order? I get the bacon, egg, and cheese, Texas toast sandwich with a waffle. Yeah. Laura does the- Hash browns covered. Yeah. Black coffee.

Laura likes the sandwich there. I like a waffle. Get the bowl, too. The bowl's nice. What about a patty melt? You ever eat the patty melt there? That's what I love. Yeah.

That's great. Yeah. I think I do all-star. That's what Brian does. I love their waffle. It's tough toStar. That's what Brian does. I love their waffle. It's tough to beat. That's the main thing. That's what they named it after.

Yeah, Laura loves some waffle aisles. They don't do pickup anymore. You can't call in and say, you have to go there and put the order in. Is that just the waffle aisles near y'all's place or is it everywhere now? I don't know if it's everywhere, but I know it's near us. Probably a lot of places people don't show up. Yeah. Yeah.

Especially in Wafas. Yeah. So they were like, you got to come in and. If you are picking up food for maybe a barbecue late summer, who knows? Get together. Ibotta gives you cash back on hundreds of grocery items from produce to personal care to pantry goods. So you can make sure you're beating inflation no matter what you're purchasing. The average Ibotta user earns $120 per year.

$120, Aaron. How about that? Wow. It could cover the cost of an entire shopping trip for most of us or a dinner out. Other apps give you points that I never know what to do. Yeah. It's sad, though, I never know what to do. Yeah. It's sad though, because you can't play pencil break now. Are they compression socks?

Sorry. When the gal flares up? I'm not there yet. He goes, you open them and go, oh, this is great. He goes, you know, those are good for travel. Right. But that's because you're an adult, right? So kids hate socks.

Adults love them. But what I'm saying is these kids will gain that perspective over time. And they'll be like, man, I used to like that wooden number two pencil. A wooden number two pencil, I would think would be cool. What do they like? Is it like a mechanical? Mechanical pencil, yeah. I mean, mechanical is like, what does Harper use?

Maybe she has a mechanical now. But I mean, mechanical, we grew up was like, you had money. Like you're like, you couldn't afford. It was nice to have a mechanical, but I don't know. Pencil break was really a big part of my childhood. That game was really something. Oh yeah, where you flick it? Well, you would try to break each other's pencils with your pencil.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You can't do that with mechanicals. Yeah. You can. It's just a tougher game. It's a tougher game. It's a longer game.

Yeah. Number two pencil could be, you could see that come. Someone can make that cool again. Yeah. You can. It's just a tougher game. It's a tougher game. It's a longer game. Yeah. Number two pencil could be, you could see that come. Someone could make that cool again. Yeah. They could have some music person just riding with a number two. He just has one, wears it behind his hat. Yeah. And everybody would be like.

That's all it would take. That's all it would take. And then they'd be back in the game. You could be that guy. I could be that guy. Having just a pen. I would take a number two pencil. I like a number two pencil.

What is it? Golf. Golf people still use number two pencils. Yeah, yeah. Why is that, you think? What is the number one pencil? Big. Oh, it is.

It's a big, thick pencil. Oh, yeah? Yeah. And so is there a number three pencil? Not that I'm aware of. Are all pencils basically number two? Well, it seems like if they went with number one and they go all right here's another one they go well i guess we're gonna be doing this so we're naming number two and then they go what's about the third one they go i think

we're you know what i think we're good so i don't know if they really needed to number it my understanding was the number one was like for kids like little kids like kindergarten first grade you have the big thick pencil there are numbers one two 2.5 three and four so the higher the number the harder the core and lighter the marking so a number one pencil is going to have the darkest editors and people working in publishing would use number one pencils when they make annotations and you thought, no one knows what that word is, but you... There were the big...

I thought it was the big... Well, not that big. That's for children. When they go, what's this? Like a caveman comes in and that's what they used to write. I also believe that this could have changed. I think all this stuff is all lies.

They didn't even show the fat pencils. Where are they at? I think all the stuff is all lies. Yeah. Yeah. They didn't even show the fat pencils. I mean, where are they at? What was it? I mean, come on. I don't. Maybe that's. You want me to Google fat pencil?

Yeah. Yeah. See what happens. He knows his fat pencils. He grew up with them. Talking about these? Yeah. Like this one right here?

No, no. He's talking about those. That's two. You're talking about the that that the colored ones right there yeah yeah these are number twos though no left left these yep that's what he's talking about okay jumbo pencils yeah jumbo pencils i don't think they're number one maybe not i always thought that well that's too bad this is educational podcast that's's where you learn a lot. Yeah, the number one, yeah. You don't really hear about number two pencils, though. Yeah.

Yeah. That's all you hear about. That is true. They're like the World Wars. Mm-hmm. Yeah. You don't hear about the Second Wars? The second one kind of stole the show.

Yeah. Sid Negretti. Sid. Dusty mentioned games he used to play in school like pencil or thumb. I used to play these games too, but I was 2000 miles away

in a small rural town outside of Phoenix. I thought you were going to go somewhere else with that. With the name Sid Negretti. I thought he was going to be somewhere else with that. With the name Sid Negretti. I thought he was going to be like a small rural town. Venice.

Yeah, like some crazy. He's like, outside of Phoenix. You're like, oh, you're. There was no internet. So how did these low-level games make their way across the country without an effective way to share that info? It's not like the evening news was doing a story on this. Very true.

I think it's because we didn't have have the internet we had to get so creative all we had was pencils and our own knuckles and everywhere they just thought of it yeah well it's the idea of it is you know everybody wants to be like you're we're all original you're all your own person you're not but there's you're you're all everybody's there's, you're, you're all, everybody's the same. Basically, you're going to come up with the same stuff. Yeah. Essentially. When you don't have a lot, you don't just get creative. You're starting with the same stuff.

Yeah. Yeah. You're, you're going to, you're, you're, it's going to be rarely where you're going to, I'm sure if you had kids get up and play a game with pencils that don't know, whatever odds are, they're all going to be doing the same. No one will be doing something that's really better than that. Yeah. People will be doing something dumber than that.

Like you would be like, well, why are you doing that? You draw your right. Are you breaking? But y'all are still you and this guy, uh, this guy in Phoenix,

you're still listening to the same music. You're watching the same TV shows and the same movies. So there is some comma denominator. That's true. You probably learned stuff from that, even if you're not. I never really remember seeing Pencil Break on TV, but maybe it was. Or one kid just moved out west with his dad. I think about when you'd go. What was that? Beer P his dad I think about like when you'd go

Beer pong I think about beer pong The game you know you play in college Or high school or whatever What? Played in high school No I didn't But I thought I didn't want to

You did it in high school I think Dusty's probably played beer pong For sure He's wrecked 40 cars you did in high school i think dusty's probably played beer pong for sure well when you're high but don't even he's wrecked 40 cars yeah so no one's of course dusty i played a lot that's how they decided his name but there are different rules like you go around the country you go to different like there are different smaller rules right they say house rules everyone plays a little bit differently but the core of the game is there. Where did that come from?

I have no idea. Beer Pong was never around, really, when I... Oh, interesting. So it was a newer... It did feel like a mid-2000s game that popped up. And then there was a whole movie about it. That definitely helped. I actually just watched that movie.

Really? Road Trip 2 or something? There's a... No, there's another one, but I watched Road Trip 2 or something No there's another one But I watched Road Trip 2 some beer pong It was Beer Fest Beer Fest Where they're like The guys from Super Troopers And they're like in Germany for

Oktoberfest and stuff This is the movie That one and Super Troopers Is that Beer beer pong though? That's just doing all kinds of beer. I think beer pong is one of the games they play. The game at Christmas time where you steal someone's gift. That has different variations and different names.

Yeah. Dirty Santa. Dirty Santa. White Rabbit, I think. Yeah. Or something like that. There's an episode of The office where they do it. White elephant.

And they talk about the different names, right? Yeah. I'm getting rabbit proof fence. Yeah. I think so. That's another example though, of where maybe the same game created, but different parts have different rules or different names. My dad's family, they called it St.

Stephen swap. He didn't like saying dirty Santa. Yeah. St. Steven Swap. He didn't like saying Dirty Santa. Yeah. Well, I think not breaking a pencil is not going to the moon. So I'm sure other people figured it out. It is funny to think about.

You're like, how did everybody figure this out? It's the most, only thing you would know to do. That's probably the real answer. We're bored. We're on a bus together. i want to say i have this is that i have thought of this before i think it's a great question it is every version of everything is done everybody kind of like goes oh no we do that well i mean you can look at australia how far they, you know. Everybody's doing the same thing. Aaron Gonzalez.

I can remember getting my first cell phone sophomore year of high school in 2002. And to send a text, it was 10 cents and to receive one was two cents. Oh, yeah. I remember that. I remember my dad bringing out the cell phone bill to wonder why in the heck a 15-year- old spent $547 on text messages in one month. Unlimited data coming along, probably saved my parents from bankruptcy. Yeah, that was crazy. I mean, you'd get charged if someone sends you a text, you'd be like, dude. You'd be over your minutes and get to call and just be like-

You got free nights after seven. Nights and weekends. Oh, you're like calling people? Yeah. I'll call you after seven. Which never, that doesn't make sense that that ever was a thing. Yeah. You want to even then go, why weren't we free the whole time?

What happens after seven? I wonder if it's like people would use their phones for business. So you charge them during the day. Yeah. I could see that. Yeah. But I mean, you have the ability to make it free. Because you're letting it go after seven.

That's got to be just a small fraction of all the phone calls made. Because you're charging companies that don't care. I would wager most phone calls back then were made during business hours. So they give this illusion of we're giving you this great deal, but it's really only a fraction. But people that didn't do business, we made calls after seven. Yeah. I'll call you. You were waking up till five.

Paula Keller. I'm listening to this as a former student and a former teacher. The Trapper Keeper was the worst. All class long, the kids were rip open to get paper and pencils. Lord have mercy. I could see that. Yeah. I mean, a Velcro sound over and over again is awful.

Make you. That's why she's a former teacher. Yeah. She cut out. At least as a former student. She did go to school, though, and that's good. She acknowledged that. Trapper Keepers is a big part of her life.

I actually like a Velcro sound. Do you? She did go to school though, and that's good. She acknowledged that. Trapper Keepers is a big part of her life. I actually like a Velcro sound. Do you? But if you've heard it for 25 years, you might, and they're doing it, and it's a kid that's doing it like- On purpose. On purpose at a certain time. It'd be like anybody that comes up and goes, tell me a joke. It's the equivalent of that. Where you're just like, that person thinks they're the only one

that's ever done it. And this is why she's a former teacher. She had to get out of the game. Also a former student. I like that she puts both because just being a former teacher would have, you know, we would know that she had gone to school. Depends on where this is. Yeah.

I can see Trapper Keepers being something that comes back as retro cool. I think they are back. When we were doing the podcast, I think, I don't know. I feel like somebody even shared it in the Nate Land Group or something like a brand new Trapper Keeper out there. Oh, yeah. It's a good name. I feel like they're coming back. Yeah.

Yeah. I love the Trapper Keeper. I have one. A vintage one. Yeah. You almost brought it in. Yeah. Oh, that's good.

Good you did it. Almost. Almost. It's good. Good you did it. Almost. 20 bucks now. 20 bucks for a Trapper Keeper. How much were they before? Less than that. 19. Yeah. Buffalo Nickel.

Brian's day. Caleb Byron. Kayla Byron. Kayla Byron. Kayla Byron. When Aaron said they had smart boards, I was like, what? So I went to YouTube and watched a video on smart boards and realized the video I watched was 14 years old.

I love this podcast, but this school episode sure did make me feel old. I don't know what a smart board is. It's like a phone where you just touch it. So I said I had chalkboards. Dusty had whiteboards. Dry erase, yeah. And then he had it. So I said I had chalkboards. Dusty had whiteboards. Dry erase, yeah. And then he had smartboards. I think I had both.

Chalkboard and whiteboards. Yeah, we had chalk when I was in elementary school. But as I got older, it was all dry erase. Yeah, I remember a lot of chalk. But I think it was dry erase, maybe. You never had dry erase? Mm-mm. They did not even invent markers.

The only reason I'm even thinking about it is because my church, like in a Sunday school class or something, happened not when I was actually in school. Yeah. When did the dry erase board get invented? I mean, like you being- Well, it invented and put into schools or two or three. That's true.

I know, but I just want to round about, like, you know. And you, yeah, you- Because I'm sure it's a long time ago and he had to have a bunch of cake walks to buy them and stuff yeah the popular whiteboards increased rapidly in the mid-1990s did not become widely used until 30 years after they were invented yeah so the 1990s so 90s so you were out of school so i would have seen probably the tail end. Yeah. Like that's what I saw both. I saw heavy chalkboard to use. Yeah. And then I saw a good, a good,

maybe I saw some whiteboard. And some teachers, I think, prefer chalk. They would have their little chalk holder and they really got into it. I remember you just get so dirty with it. Yeah.

Like I hated like grabbing it and just. And then you lean up against it. Your shirt's all ruined. Oh yeah. You got chalk everywhere. I do like the sound. You the sound like you're a minor like you're like going to work like you see a teacher and it's just like i mean they just looked like they just came out of a cave yeah the sound of writing on a chalkboard though is something really nice about it better than yeah the sound of a dry erase i don't like that yeah what about fingernails on chalkboard it's tough yeah that went away with the white that's true yeah yeah that is yeah all chalkboard that is funny just just never ceases and when you got to college i mean i don't remember but yeah i mean

mid 90s i graduated college in 94 yeah but it's crazy that is it's crazy that you got smart boards i didn't know that was a thing today we didn't have that until my school in alabama did not have smart boards okay it was school in tennessee and it blew me away at the time i was like wow yeah this is and so it's just a big computer screen and they can write still project onto it yeah but you can control what's being projected on oh by writing on it yeah i remember projector yeah overhead projector i didn't mind it's not overhead it was you know they brought it on the desk oh yeah yeah oh you didn't have the one where they could write on the glass on the thing oh yeah yeah but that was on the but they would set it on the desk yeah and

it had the it had the little thing thing that would project it up there, the little mirror in there. Yeah, but they wouldn't call it that with the overhead projector. That's what we call it. Oh, really? I thought I would think over it is one in the ceiling. I think we're talking about two different things, but. I think I know what you're talking about.

You could write on it. It has a little arm that points down. I'm not saying they were calling it right, but I do think they were calling it the overhead projector. Yeah. Maybe it is called overhead projector. Yeah. Maybe it is called overhead projector. Yeah. And I thought it was because the projector itself was over the glass.

Over the head. But if we watched a film in school, we had an actual projector. Like you and your changing body. I mean, we were watching it on an actual thing like a film. We didn't have like TVs or anything. I don't think I did well in any classes that had that projector i think i never i never experienced them a lot i would get there and i could kind of see it then they'd be like let's get him back yeah non-projector rooms let's

get him to some chalkboard rooms yeah this guy can't handle all this new stuff. Lauren Walters. This past weekend, we celebrated my birthday with a Nate Land themed party. And I can say in my best Dusty Slate voice that we were all having a good time. All right. The day began with some horse divorce or divorce. Or divorce. Or divorce. Or divorce. Yeah.

And we ended the night by airing a showing of one of Nate's Netflix comedy specials. I could not. From Amazon. Yeah, from Amazon. I could not have asked for a better day. I was Dusty. My brother was Nate.

My dad was Breakfast Baits. And my nephew was Mr. Aaron Weber. Got a picture? Oh, yeah. How about that? Yeah. Look at that. That's very nice. Yeah. I see resemblance in How about that? Yeah. Look at that. That's very nice.

Yeah. See resemblance in all of us. Yeah. That's a great looking Dusty. That's the best I've ever seen. The Brian is spot on. You know? Yeah.

The guy's a little young, but yeah. He is younger, but. I like that green shirt. I actually. That is a nice green shirt. Those pockets. Yeah. You know what would have been better? Viore shirt. I actually. That is a nice green shirt. Those pockets. Yeah. You know what would have been better?

Viore shirt. Viore. Get yourself some of the most comfortable and versatile clothing on the planet at viore.com slash Nate. This is great. I wore a Viore jacket the whole time I was in Australia. When I traveled, the little zip up. I mean, I'm a giant fan uh love what they're doing uh i have athletic core shorts where those that's what i used it for the plane ride the long little school logo on it yes they were really good shorts i never had those but

would y'all have overalls i mean I didn't play a lot of school sports. Yeah. So I didn't waste the shorts on me. Oh, yeah. I had some kind of canvas shorts. Yeah, I wasn't even talking about those, but like, yeah. Yeah, Umbro, that was like the soccer shorts. Yeah, that's the soccer shorts. I'm thinking like this is the gym shorts.

Not this color, but that kind of material. Even the checkered pattern there, like this. Yeah, I remember those, but I was thinking more of the netting one. You'd wear two shorts. I used to wear two pairs of shorts. Pair of shorts under a pair of shorts. Wow. Is that what people were doing at your school?

My school, yeah. I did it for a long time. We were doing two shirts. We would always wear, even if we were on two shirts, always two shirts. Always two shirts. Yeah. Yeah. Always had two shirts.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Always had two shirts. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy how you, in that time period, you think this is what I'll do forever. I did mine too long. I hung on to all that stuff too long. All my first, everything I have on, I have two shirts on. Wow. I have jeans with a pair of shorts underneath them and boxers on.

Shortly after high school, I was like, why am I wearing two shirts? Yeah. I mean, it's just what you did. Yeah. Did you not wear two shirts? I never did. What was y'all's thing? I wore rubber bands on my head.

I'm not talking about the forms. Oh, y'all did. I'm sure we had a thing. I can't think of it right now. You're from the future. We learned a little bit while you were gone. Aaron took one family vacation. It was to Washington, D.C.

Yeah. That would be. That's exactly what Dustin said. That makes sense. He goes, yeah, you're going on a vacation once. You got to learn something. Yeah. I didn't go there until my 30s.

I just went last year we could yeah yeah we never could afford to go on the my high school went but like it was expensive i never went on the the the big trips because they would go to like it's it's very funny because i might still talk to so many people from high school they're like remember went to washington dc or something like I didn't go, I stayed and watched citizen King. We were going to go the Gulf war, right?

Yeah. I was supposed to go in sixth grade. I had that joke. And that was, but that was a DuPont elementary. This guy here that Jared Freed has a great tonight show where he talks about wearing two pop collars all the time. This guy's got three.

It seems like, yeah, but, uh, Jared. Yeah. But. Jared. Yeah. Jared. He's got a special. He's got a Netflix special.

Yeah. Coming out. Yeah. But that his two pop collars tonight show is really funny. Do you remember guys doing this unironically? In Charleston, there was, yeah, lots of pop collars. Oh, I could see. I don't necessarily remember two shirts, but yeah, lots of pop collars in Charleston.

Imagine wearing three of those. I mean, but I can't imagine it. It makes you look a little thicker, too. You know what I mean? Yeah, but I did all that stuff. You would have it. You'd have the undershirt hanging out a little bit below the overshirt. I still like that.

I don't mind an undershirt hanging out. If I have a button down and I have a shirt underneath it, if it hangs a little farther. A little bit. I don't mind it. Laura doesn't like it. What about jeans? Would you cut the bottom of your jeans? Cut them on the sides.

Yeah. And then they would spread out. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You didn't do that? No. See, I grew up with Hey Arnold. Y'all are all too old for this cartoon.

Oh, yeah. But this is... I've never even... I don't know if I've ever even seen this. You don't recognize that? I don't even recognize it. SpongeBob, I don't... People talk about SpongeBob so much, and I have no idea.

When you don't experience something, and then you go somewhere, and everybody's overly talking about SpongeBob, and you're like, I thought that show didn't even make it. And you do realize, oh, I that. I thought that show didn't even make it. And you do realize like, Oh, I was just past it. Totally.

Yeah. Well, this was like, this came at the right time for me, but he, his shirt, this is like a famous look with the shirt hanging out from underneath. And I think about that still to the sweater over the top of button down. It almost looks like a little dress,

a little skirt that he's wearing, but that's just the shirt hanging down. It almost looks like a little dress. A little skirt that he's wearing, but that's just the shirt hanging down. That's a cool look. I remember, would you do the tie your shirt around your waist? Tie your over shirt? Never had that much slack. Never did that. Little bungee cord. What was that, blanket back there?

Was there anything in Australia that if you didn't know where you were, you could tell by the way they dress that you're in a different country? Uh, they dress by like us. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that was the crazy.

So I said that there too, uh, as a joke, I was like, when you go there, everybody talks Australian and that's a lot to take in and it's because and i said i was like not trying to like make fun of australia but i think they would have that if they came here and they just hear us everybody sounds like us yeah uh because you

walk by a guy that looks he's a mechanic or so i walked by a construction worker and you're just thinking he's like your construction worker he's like good day mate he says that you know and you're like because when you see it's so crazy to see a regular person doing a regular job you know it's not like i'm seeing steve irwin yeah i'm seeing a regular this guy yeah that you know when australians are here it's always the people that can afford to make that trip. Well, it's going to be, yes. You're not seeing the average blue collar worker. Yes.

Yeah. And so that's the part that's hard to wrap your head around. And I think mate, when we hear that, we almost think they're saying it as a joke, but they're not. I mean, that's just. No, they say mate everywhere. Everywhere. But I mean, yeah, when you're walking around like yeah there would be occasions where you're like okay i understand i'm they're speaking australian but yeah when you walk by

just i mean a dude that's got a yellow construction outfit on got a helmet i mean it's exactly what we wear and then he's a good day mate and then he says something else australian i can't do australian joe was able to kind of do it. I don't know how to do it. But that was kind of like, oh, that's a lot. You're like, whoa, everybody's doing that here. Yeah. You know, it's a lot to take in.

Yeah. I've experienced that in a smaller way in Canada. And then you see what I would would think of even like Northern Michigan, like what I would think of as a redneck dude, I'm expecting him to sound Southern and he's sounds Canadian. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

What is going on? Hey pal. Yeah. You don't got a lot of lifts on your head, but that's what they say. Was the jet lag hard? It was. That I am doing as a joke, so I don't want to say it.

But I woke up at like, it wasn't as hard. I'm telling you, because the flight is so long, you wrap your head around. I had a really hard time with London. Now, when I landed in London, I had a show that I had three shows in a row. So I, I mean, I was falling asleep on every car ride. I could not stay awake. Uh, but I, but I mean, I didn't get any time to adjust to it. I just landed and then was like doing tours and then shows. And I was up late. Uh, but this, when you're on the plane so long and you're only on there seven hours with London.

So it's like, I mean, you're not going to just get on it and fall asleep. You know, like you kind of get on it, you know, maybe you get three hours of sleep, maybe. But with a 15 hour flight, you can mess around for six hours and you still have a great night's sleep. Yeah. You could still have a long time to go. So, you know, it's like,

it was like, you didn't feel rushed. And so now we woke, I woke up at five 45 in the morning. First day there. Yeah. First few days. I mean,

we went to bed. I think it was, you know, it was like five 45 PM them the first day and you're just trying to stay awake just to because you're like well we can't go to sleep yet but you're absolutely you're like i could go to sleep right now and so we i think the first night we all went to sleep at like 7 p.m and it's their winter so it gets dark there i watched they're building a hotel right next to our hotel I watched these crane operators

I mean I in Sydney I saw the sunrise every day in Sydney Because you would get you would get up that early And then you know it gets dark Earlier until you see the sunset And these crane operators I'd watch them build this Like hotel Next to our hotel

I just sat and watched them all because I had a great view of them Yeah it's fun Yeah I didn't mind it i like watching they and they were working i'd watch them to pick a pick up something and then they got to because then i think about the crane workers like it's got to be so i mean because you're up there you're up there they have to go up all those steps yeah so i was like man how bad is that when you probably get up there and you're like a phone oh yeah and then you got to go all the way back down maybe to your truck or you got to go all the way back down.

Maybe to your truck. Or you got to use the bathroom. It's the same thing. I was thinking they had to have a bathroom up there. There has to be other peeing in bottles. Or just off the side. But I mean, you're in a major city. I mean, everybody can kind of see.

I would think they'd have to have some kind of like porta potty system up there. But I mean mean you got to really probably watch what you eat like you know you got to probably be very careful about a lot of things if they like you don't need a street hot dog mid-shift no no yeah you gotta you know you're the one that goes they all go eat and you order the salad they're like what are you doing you i'm about to be up in the air for seven hours so i i can't be plopping down and then i didn't mean it like that but it's like that it's uh but i was you'd watch the crane like you know they'd be like come over here and you they just pick up this one thing and and they'd just move it over.

And it's this giant thing that would be a nightmare to move through all the stuff. And so they're just like, me. Just with ease. And it was two of them. And they would have to talk because they could hit each other. And so I'm just watching them pick up stuff. I'm not watching like a TV show. Just sit there and look at them and just thought about them.

That's fun. I mean, when we were kids, we used to just, when people were clearing out land, we would just go watch them push down trees. Yeah. I mean, it's entertaining. It is. I can watch someone cut down a tree. Yeah.

It's fun to watch. Because it's huge trees. They have a show about it. Yeah. Yeah. And there's this place called Diggerland. it's fun to watch because it's huge trees they have a show they have a show about it yeah yeah there's this place called uh digger land at the amusement park where kids play with where imagine being able to do this as a kid you show up they give you i want to do that right now yeah where is it uh this is in new jersey i'd like to go what if they're just you're actually building stuff?

Yeah. It'd be tricky to think it's a theme park. It'd be fun to take a kid there. Yeah, that would be fun. Yeah. Yeah, I never did a crane. I drove a Bobcat, but never drove a crane. Bobcats were fun.

I like a Bobcat, too. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. That's it. Bobcats were fun I like a Bobcat too Yeah Yeah Alright Alright Alright That's it Heard y'all was in trouble with that At any time

Well 15 hour flight Like 12 hours in You're just like I guess I could watch To see what those guys did Or you're like I did watch

Some of the school episode Oh I did see it I never started or ended a podcast, but yeah, there was a little trouble here ending them.

I feel like I dismounted well. Aaron struggled. A lot. Okay. I mean, it was pretty bad. Yeah. Why don't you show us how it's done, Brian?

Well, can we talk about where we've been? Yeah. Where are we going, I mean? Yeah. You're going to be at the Alaska State Fair. I'll be at the alaska state fair uh which is america's new zealand yeah yeah it's not a bad comparison yeah something uh trying to put something in you know i don't know uh how much comedy's been done while I was gone. So it was, no, y'all did a great job.

And everybody seemed, a lot of people seemed they loved it. So there, I'll be at Alaska State Fair, August 26th. So, yeah, it's a crazy month when someone's like, what are you doing in August? I'm like, Australia, New Zealand, Alaska. That is wild. It's a wild month. I've never been to any of them. Alaska would knock off.

That's the last state I haven't been to. Are you the only guy ever to do Australia, New Zealand, Nashville, Alaska? In the same month? In the same month. Well, Nashville. There's a good chance. Yeah. You're the first person ever to do that.

Yeah, that is true. That's fun. Yeah, Australia, New Zealand, Nashville. I spent the night in Dallas because of our flight. We got stuck back. Add Dallas in. Because we had to spend the night. Our flight got delayed, canceled almost to the next morning.

Well, it's a certainty now. Are you saying shows or just be there? To have been in those cities in that order in that span of time. Over this week. Yeah. Well, when you start adding things in, it's like. Oh, of course. in that order in that span of time over this week yeah well when you start adding things in it's like oh of course in that order oh yeah well yeah but that's but even just to do alaska and australia and new zealand all in one month is a big deal yeah probably not a lot of people have done that if any alaska's the last state but you already kept adding things you're like and be in dallas and be in why go if we're adding that of. Alaska's the last state. That's what I'm saying. But you kept adding things. You were like, and be in Dallas, and be in-

Well, I go, if we're adding that, of course, he's the only guy who had made that same path. Yeah. We, yeah, Alaska will be the, I've done all states now. Been to every state in America. All right. I've performed in every state in America except Montana. I've been to Montana, but I have not done a show there.

So that's the only one I got to knock off. I'm pretty, that's one that I'm kind of proud, like in your own little. To have not done Montana. Yeah. I go, they've been calling and I go, nah.

I held out. No, but like performing, like, I mean, I remember doing a gig with a guy in West Virginia at this show. Have I ever told this to him? It was, dude, they did. So our license plate in our car in New York still had Tennessee tags.

So we'd have to drive down and do MARTA once a year. And so I would drive down and I would get those email gigs you know that you pick up it's like 100 no hotel you know whatever it is and uh so i still get those emails i like seeing them because it's always like i know where it can go like you see what you go like i mean it's just so for these boulder 125 yeah boulder 125 no hotel yeah like you know yeah like that and you're like and someone would go and i mean mean, I did these gigs. It is some comic is like, yeah, yeah, I'll do it. And, uh, so I do this one in Western Virginia and we go in this room and you had to ring

a buzzer to get in the room to get in. Like, it was like a nightclub and they were trying to do a comedy show before the night club came or something. So, but every time they, it wasn't just unlocked so if someone wanted in they had to ring it like it was a loud ring almost like it was like a bank or something like and so we're we're doing the show i go up first and then i got to bring up the other guy and you're like yeah i don't know this guy you know you're just two comics you just kind of doing it so i go up no one's there we're standing on the dance floor. There's, I mean, honestly,

maybe eight people came early for this show. And then as we're going up, then people start buzzing. Well, they're there. Cause they're like, Oh, I thought that like dancing part started.

So the, now our audience is getting bigger, but it's just a people wanting, they're just annoyed that we're there and they're ringing the bell. Every, I mean, every joke is just like, just they're ruining every bell. Every, I mean, every joke is just like, just they're ruining every joke. There's no point to us being here.

Then I had to bring the other guy up and I go, what do you want me to say about you? And I bring you up and he goes, say, I've almost performed in all 50 States. And I've always thought about that. And I'm right now I've almost performed in all 50 States, but I remember just thinking, well, we all have almost performed in all 50 states. Yeah, we're pretty close. Yeah, it was such a weird kind of thing to say, I thought at the moment. Almost? Almost, yeah.

In fact, this guy's almost performed in all 50 states. And they're like, oh, this guy must be good. And he could have performed in four states. Yeah, that's almost all 50. That's almost all 50. So right now, I'm at almost all 50 states. I need Montana. Montana's great too.
