Your routine will change. Yeah, your routine. Like mine. Yeah. Because you're just floating around. Yeah, I got, you know.

Like a guy that's lived on his own for a long time. And Bates was a similar. Yeah, I got, you know. Like a guy that's lived on his own for a long time. And Bates was a similar. Yeah, he's. Difficult to be with because you guys don't have, you know, you're just used to your own time. Nate tells me that a lot. He says, you're difficult to be with. Yeah, no. And like Bates.

Yeah. Yeah. You're a lot like Brian Bates. You're a lot, no. It's, I enjoy having both of you. It's. He took you to Australia, so he must like you. That's true.

Yeah. That's a good sign. That is a good sign. That is a big trip for someone that you don't like. Yes. That'd be tough. Yeah. For sure. It's a long one.

Yeah. No, he had me carry all his bags. Yeah. But it seemed cool. Yeah. but it seemed cool. Yeah. Joe,

Joe's special, the cool classic is out on my YouTube channel, Nate land entertainment. So go check that out. It's great. Yeah. Great, great response. I've directed it and gave Nate a shot.

Yeah. Yeah. Give a kid a shot. There you go. Shot. We have that coming out and then we have the, the showcase, which should be out now. It came out yesterday. Yeah. Give a kid a shot. There you go. Shot. We have that coming out, and then we have the Showcase, which should be out now.

It came out yesterday, and we've got a lot going on, Nateland. We're having a good announcement for it. Like, there's a lot of good, good plans. We're changing, I think, the Nateland Company, I believe. I'm changing. I like that. It feels like a staple. Yeah.

I mean, we're not, and we're not a staple, but it just feels, it feels more what we are is, you know, a company. Yeah.

That's what we are. Used to be entertainment, but now you're all business. Yeah. Yeah. The entertainment's gone. Entertainment. We do entertainment in the company.

Do you, uh, is there a way to be an angel investor? Yeah. It's cash. Cool. Straight to me. Great. What's the return? He doesn't know what he needs.

There is no return, Joe. So I just give you cash? Yeah. I'm in. Yeah, invest. I mean, get in there. I'm interested. You know what I mean?

Take a chance, Joe. I feel good about it. Take a chance. Keep the entertainment rolling. So when we go through our, invest. I mean, get in there. I'm interested. You know what I mean? Take a chance, Joe. I feel good about it. Take a chance. Keep the entertainment rolling. So when we go through our business meet, I go, don't forget I got Joe's $40. Just if anything comes up. If he has any demands, listen to him because he's a top investor. He's a top.

He's their only investor at $45. I would love to be the only angel investor for Nalen Company. What does it mean to be an angel investor? All I know is that it's before a company goes public on the stock market. Those super wealthy people can get in early, give some funding early, get in ground level. A lot of that happened in Silicon Valley. I'm guessing you're focusing on the angel part. Well, I just wonder what it means. Yeah. I get investor. I don't know

why it's called angel. I guess maybe you're like, before it's big, you're like, Hey, I'll still, I'll come in and help you out before this is big. It's like, it's the hypothetical, we're struggling. And then some big person comes in and is like, I'm going to give you a million bucks. I'm going to help you out. When Aaron comes back, we'll Google it and find out. Next week we'll find out. I forgot I'm working the computer. a million bucks. I'm going to help you out. When Aaron comes back, we'll Google it and find out. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Next week, we'll find out, folks. I forgot I'm working the computer. Yes, I got it, though.

Oh, okay. Can y'all see? I don't know if I can see. Is he fine? Or do you need him to move or anything? Move back. I can move. I was just trying to look at everybody.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. You can scoot the chair up and then just, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so I won't look at brian you can try not to you can you can do a little is that good don't move past that it says here they're wealthy private investors focused on financing small businesses business i can't read business ventures in exchange for equity so it doesn't sound like much of an angel to me it seems like

they're wanting something out of it they get something they get a yeah they get a good return when the company does well yeah big return it's hoping they land

company does good will you go public eventually I just did I just said it that's how you get on the stock market too late to be an angel investor

I declare bankruptcy what I want is a Nate Land Company penny stock that's what I want no that doesn't do anything for you I don't even know what that means you give me a penny there's the whole penny stock market

penny stocks refers to a small company stock that typically trades for less than $5 per share. Still doesn't mean a lot to me. Is that the thing they made money on Wolf of Wall Street? In the TV show? In the TV show, Wolf of Wall Street. I mean, the movie Wolf of Wall Street. Didn't they do like the penny stocks? They did, yeah.

You can make a ton of money on penny stocks if you know what you're doing, which I don't. Okay. Yeah. Because they're tiny. They're small. Under $100 million companies. By paying the penny slots.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, there's a lot of good stuff. Yeah, a lot of fun stuff. I'm very excited about this stuff. We got, this showcase has got, uh, what is it? Six comics, three comics an episode. Uh, Dusty, uh, Bates and Aaron hosting, uh, two episodes each, six episodes, three comics, an episode, very funny comics. Uh, you know, it's like TV,

clean material. So it's, you know, that's what we're just one episode out so far. One episode out. Is that the one that I'm in? Yep. All right. I believe so.

Who is your, I'm saying this and I have not looked at anything. Who is your favorite of the three hosts? Huh? They all do great. Maybe go to nateland entertainment is up there yeah click on that yeah that thing says at nateland is uh is the youtube so that's good at nateland we'll change that to nateland company we're still we're still in the

Joe's is- Doing very well. Is doing very well. I got you. very funny i'm a big joe fan obviously i've taken him everywhere uh so super fun uh super fun to watch super funny and then we got the showcase which is showing a bunch of different comics oh you can see where dusty stopped watching 26 minute mark seem to be reading notes here during the special uh oh it's a little part of the skit yeah that's a one of the better parts that one's so funny 26 minutes folks yeah yeah no but i mean all the parts are funny but that i'm a bit i love that

oh nice yeah the horoscope evil yeah yeah yes yes no this is not my youtube i wouldn't pull up my youtube did you read an evil do you know one i think i can remember most of the evil horse what your do you know your horoscope? I do know it, yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. I would think you would know. Well, I learned it before I woke up to Satanism.

So what is your... I feel like it's more fun to say it that way. Our sign? It's more fun to say it that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know,

your son, which is, I'm a Taurus. Uh, you share it with Hitler. Oh yeah. The whole bit, the whole bit is if,

if, if somebody gives you a hard time about your horoscope, right. They say, Oh, you can remember an evil historical figure for all 12 horoscopes. And then you can call it out for them. Yeah.

Yeah. So if you give me guff for being Scorpio, I can be like, oh, Taurus, that's a good one. Hitler's a Taurus. And then I go through the crowd and ask people what their signs are. I like that. Hitler, Bernie Madoff, and Saddam Hussein.

All Taurus. A lot of power. It is a lot of power. All right. All Taurus. A lot of power. A lot of power in a Taurus. It is a lot of power. Yeah. Very authoritarian. Yeah. Yeah. It's known for being a bullheaded sign.

Is he stubborn? Yeah. I would say so. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. If you got some of his beliefs, he's about the most stubborn you can be. Classic Taurus. Yeah, classic Taurus.

I didn't believe horoscopes, so right now. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they always can get you. If you start reading about them, you go, oh, I am like that. Exactly. What are you? Scorpio.

Scorpio, yeah. More commonality. Scorpio we share. Between the two of you guys. I believe it's- He's a Scorpio? Yeah. Known for being ambitious.

That's me. Machiavellian. Oh, yeah. And Charles Manson is a Scorpio. That's tough. That's tough. That's how you look at it. Very jealous.

Does he get jealous? Oh, yeah. He's jealous of you right now knowing this stuff. Classic Scorp. Classic Scorp. I'm this stuff. Classic Scorp. Classic Scorp. I'm Aries. Aries, I believe, is... I'm not remembering Aries.

It must be a good sign. Yeah. I believe Aries is Kim Jong-un's dad. But I'll have to double check. Yeah, but he... Well, he was a great golfer, just like you. Yeah, he has the... Oh, world record. World record. And he claims that too. And he was a great golfer just like you yeah he has the oh world

record hold on every day claims that too and he was really the first one right he started the whole not even start the country of north korea but he started this whole separatist thing right yeah i know yeah i know that there's kim jong-un his dad and his grandpa were were the main dude yeah so the yeah the main the first one yeah he's like all right and then the rest have just been kind of you know following in his footsteps but he really was like i'm gonna separate myself but i think he said i admire that about him i think he went out on a golf that's what we're trying to do with the nate lane company separate ourselves yeah but have you heard the story of his golf score no he went out on a golf course with 11 security guards, his first time ever playing golf.

And after 18 holes, he said he shot a 26, which is like 12 hole-in-ones and six twos. And he's never played before. And the bodyguards are just like, yep, that's what he shot. He has 11 witnesses

for this score of 26. What happened on the twos? My thinking is he's so bad at golf, knows nothing about the sport, that he's like, what's a lie that sounds good? And he's like 26. Oh, yeah. He can't be hole in one every time. Yeah.

He was probably tempted to say 18. I bet he goes to his friends, it was an 18, but. Yeah. I don't want to brag. I don't want to be obnoxious. Let's say 26. 26, which is about 32 strokes better than any other score in the history of golf. Yeah.

I think that's good. Yeah. Maybe North Korea has the best lawns for it, though. Maybe it's a good, you know what I mean? You may be right. How long are these courses, too? Did they even say the course? You know, I wish I knew the course, but it was probably one of the first golf courses in North Korea would be my guess.

Yeah. It'd be great if you had, and that record was, the course record was 18 or 26. I bet it's up there. Yeah, it should be up there. Yeah. That would be, a lot of people want it's up there. Yeah. It should be up there. Yeah. That would be a lot of people want to play that course. Yeah. I can't believe he shot a 26.

Yeah. That's hard to believe. 11 witnesses. Yeah. Should get that on the PGA. Yeah. Is that a tool? They should do that course.

Yeah. And he goes, let's see if y'all can do it. Yeah. I don't think he ever played again either. I think he played once. Well, it's, what's the point of it? Yeah. He mastered the sport. Yeah. Well, what's the point of it? Exactly. He mastered the sport.

Yeah. What's the point? We had a fun weekend. This has been a couple weeks we've been out. I know I've missed a few, and Vecchione did good filling in, and we got Dusty back. Yeah, this month has been – Yeah, he's gone.

I got a lot of stuff this month. I'm home for, I think, about a day and a half. And then we head out. I go to our... We were in Boise. We were in Boise just this weekend. Unreal Show, Salt Lake City, with a jazz play.

And that was very special. A lot of people. I'm the, for a stay at that arena, I'm the number one comedian. All right. Second all-time entertainment. To? Garth Brooks. Oh, come on.

That's big time. I calculated if I headlined 40 club weeks, if I headlined 40 club weeks, I would perform for 10,000 less people than those two nights. Wow. That's how many people it was. Yeah, it was like 10,000 people, people 8 000 people it was crazy it's like yeah that's amazing congratulations thanks it was well it's very it's very very nice that uh obviously

uh utah is uh i go there a lot very special place uh but i mean everywhere boise i mean uh you know i won't be blanking on where we were even before that, but it's, and then this week we go to, uh, Portland, Maine and like Rochester and the radio city. Uh, it's a main hat I'm wearing right now. Oh yeah. Yeah. I love Portland, Maine. It's great. Danny Ainge came out.

Danny. We met Danny Ainge. General manager of the Utah jazz, I believe. Yeah. Great dude. Uh, yeah, it Yeah, it was something. And the shows were really great. The crowds were so good.

So good. I like arenas. We talked a lot about this. Arenas are, I know they're big and all that. But I really, I mean, I like doing them in the fact that you have these screens. So you can see. It's almost watching a special taping live, I would imagine, you know, for that. Because, you know, I've been to a ton of shows and not comedy, but music or anything.

You always end up kind of watching the screen. That's always a thing that you kind of think, well, I don't want to. I feel like I'm just watching the screen. I'm not watching. But I mean, you would have to be in a small, small venue to actually see a person's face. Even if you i saw a guy we met had binoculars oh yeah yeah yeah i i could see it my kind of person yes yeah joe likes some nights binoculars yeah he has some he could get to them right now i got them right in my golf bag all right on the garage uh so it's but i mean with the screens I looked at it as like, I was like, you know what? It's, it's like, it's the, the, the great part of this is you're in a room together with a lot of people and it's fun just to see everybody have a fun time and laugh and it's contagious. And I remember people would, afterwards, some would say, man, this guy behind us was just dying,

laughing so hard. And we were laughing at like how hard he was laughing. But it's like, people just love seeing people have joy. And that's what's so great with the ring because you get stuck in a spot where it's hard to, anything you go to, it's gonna be hard to see someone's face.

But with the screen, I mean, I can do facial expressions more than I could in a theater because you have a screen there and they get big laughs because you're able to. It's like watching a special, but being there and also being in the moment. Yeah. And it's an event, right? It's like you can watch comedy at home, but you're like, you still got all regular distractions you got your phone you got uh yeah you know you can pause it it's like you're in an event it is fun to be in an event it's yeah it's a you get in a groove and it's just yeah it's a special and everybody that comes out is just nice and uh wonderful we love it it's also you get a little adrenaline looking up at 10,000 people.

I'm like, I'm just a tiny man standing where the Utah Jazz play. It was, yeah, it was so high. They just go, I mean, it was when you walked out, because we have a curtain up, you know, like right when you walk out on the stage. So we're not just, everybody can just see everything backstage. But you can see the top. And I mean, it's just all the way on the stage. So we're not just, everybody can just see everything backstage, but you can see the top. And I mean, it's just all the way to the top.

And it's, I mean, the fact that people come out, I, yeah, it's, you, yeah, you have dreams of it happening like this, but it's every single time it's overwhelming. It's, it's, it's, it's pretty special. My impression of Nate doing aren arenas he gets he gets he does his he does his final joke crowd goes wild standing ovation he comes off stage you know i kind of i kind of like arenas yeah they're okay they're all right they're i like you know what i

think i like arenas yeah you're like yeah you like the screaming screaming 10 000 fans who just laughed for an hour straight yeah well that's the fun part is making that many people laugh that you know that's the goal is like because every i do it every hour you gotta the next ones you gotta somewhat i mean it's not like one can i guess people are gonna going to like, I mean, so many people like the Tennessee kids, but because it's the first one they saw or whatever they saw. Uh, and, but you just try to make it this moment where like, if you can just have them laughing the whole time and just having a good

time and they leave just like, what a, you know, like they feel fulfilled. I mean, that's the goal. That's what we're trying to do in Nate Lane company. All you gotta do. Create some stuff. Yeah. We're doing, uh, angel investments the goal. That's what we're trying to do at Nate Lane Company. All you got to do. Create some stuff.

We're doing... Get your angel investments in now. Get your angel investments. Co-America. Co-America. What? Co-America Industries. When Kramer started his own company. That's what you're doing. That's what I'm doing. Nate Lane Company. We are. We're going to have great stuff.

There's a lot of stuff planning. There's a lot of stuff that we're planning to do with this, trying to make stuff that's, you know, like all these specials that we're about to do. It's comedy. You know, like I said, it's comedy that you can go with your whole family. That's the thing that I want it to be.

And we're not making comedy for kids, but if your kids can listen, you can decide if you want your kids to listen. I mean're not making comedy for kids, but if your, your kids can listen, you can decide if you want your kids to listen. I mean, they're, you know, I'm not saying everything's going to be, you're not going to like every single thing, or you might not this and that pick, but it's like the, the we're, I'm doing it with the idea of you in mind, the watcher and, uh, you know, it's stuff you don't have to turn off when your kids well it's just stuff like that it's like stuff that you can feel it's a little safe i mean i understand having kids uh you know it's like this stuff try not to make it uncomfortable yeah and if you're like a grown

kid you can still watch it with your parents like if you're in your 20s or 30s you can watch with your parents and not be embarrassed yeah about what happening. That's the whole, you know, but we have 10 year olds come to shows. I like that. I think when they're that young, some, some of them, cause they listen to this podcast, get everything. Cause you know, and then some kids, you know, they get, they get what they get, but they love seeing their parents laugh hard. And then you love seeing your kid like get stuff.

And you're just trying to make it that kind of thing where it's you know even the younger generation feels like they're listening to an adult uh programming kind of but it's it's okay for them you know the goal of is it's okay for them to listen you're not going to be like oh man that's really really hard to you're about the only comic i know out there doing it really i mean uh at that level no brian all you gotta do is make everybody laugh for 90 straight minutes a whole family in a giant arena that's all you gotta do that's all you gotta do i mean i know other clean comics but they don't reach 10 year olds and 70 year olds i think how you do it is you're not trying to reach 10 year olds and 70 year olds. I think how you do it is you're not trying to reach 10 year olds and 70 year olds. I'm just trying not to make my parents upset with what I'm doing. So that's all I do.

Everything I put out, I just don't want my parents to be embarrassed or mad and they would come watch. That's really how I just do every joke I do. Every, everything is just, I don't want my parents. I think a lot of, you know, my wife's parents, I just don't want any, the older generation to be like kind of disappointed or like,

just kind of like, you know, I think about them a lot. Cause it's just, I just feel like they don't, it's not like I'm trying to make it for them. Cause you don't have to make it for them. They get everything.

You don't have to like, like dumb it down for kids or for uh adults you just do your act and then just don't do you know it's that's what i'm doing too you're just doing it a much much higher level how does your dad feel about you comparing him to a gorilla yeah now uh he likes it okay good Yeah I mean I think I do compare him to Grill in this new act I find that

The higher the success goes The more your parents Are willing to go Hey that's okay Oh yes You know You're like You know I don't mind

That you say that I told a joke I said it this week At Utah And I said But it's funny Because I grew up My parents are Catholic

And then Or they grew up, my parents are Catholic and then, uh, are they, they grew up Catholic and then, but we were, but I was raised Baptist. And so they went to Baptist in here. So I have all of the Catholic guilt without any of the fun of Catholic.

And then just the strictness of Baptist, which is the most strict of like, you get, especially not, not as much now, but when we were growing up, the Baptist was the most. For sure. They could get disappointed real fast that year. Yeah. And, you know, and that's just what it was now.

It's not like that now. And so I have, you already have like, you already feel, so every day is like a pretty tough day when you're like, you got the Baptist, like, I'm not supposed to do any of this stuff. And then I get the Catholic guilt. But without the Catholic is probably the funnest one. They get loose with it. They get very loose with it. The moms, the Catholic? No, both. Oh, okay.

I grew up non-baptized and I was jealous of people that were baptized. Oh, yeah. You can get baptized. Yeah, anytime. Anytime you want to. He, okay. I grew up non-baptized and I was jealous of people that were baptized. Oh, yeah. You can get baptized. Yeah, anytime. Anytime you want to. He's there. I'm a little self-conscious. Like I picture it's just babies and then me showing up.

Well, it's better than going to hell. Right. Right. I know. It's tough, though. It's tough, though. It's a little. I don't know.

It's hard work. A little self-conscious, though. Yeah, yeah. It's tough, though. It's a little. I don't know. It's all worth it. A little self-conscious, though. Yeah, yeah. But that's fine. You can, as you talk to Hitler down there, you will say, I just never did it. Because it was, I think Hitler probably did it. Because he was like, well, I was going to try it.

Yeah. Anyway, it was fun. Yeah, it's been, this tour has been special. It's been great. We're off and running. We're doing, uh, you know, we're going to have a big, big thing. You're at the beginning of this Nate Land Company stuff. Uh, we got the show, we got, uh, the three specials are out that we directed. And then, uh, we got the showcase coming out. We're going to hopefully do more of those. We

Yeah. So everybody saw it. They cheered.

You're trying to be the computer guy. Well, since we're talking about sports, Dusty, instead of that, why don't you tell us about game time? Oh, that's a great idea. Our schedules usually have us buying tickets the day of events. Instead of getting stressed out, we like the GameTime app. It has great prices on last-minute tickets and flash deals.

GameTime is the fast and easy way to buy tickets for all the sports, music, theater, and, of course, comedy near you. We like the GameTime app because they make it so easy to see. Yeah, it's kind of the podcast yeah maybe you could listen one time uh yeah i usually i wonder if you've ever said that someone like

you got a lady's last name i don't know a villa boa villa maybe maybe it is uh i usually listen during my commute to and from work i just took a drink of water when nate brought up the scenario of dylan lee hearing that john was there to see him pretty sure i stopped breathing trying to hold in the water tough time go jackets people love that they liked yeah i had a i had a guy yell go jackets this weekend and i didn't like it was even uh in idaho falls uh they were great too yeah it was because you people you bring the energy that's like what's so wonderful and we have a 3 p.m show in salt lake city great sunday shows great you know usually typical of friday and

saturday everybody kind of that's when they're typically going out but everybody comes very excited we're adding all these shows so we have to do them sometimes at weird times and all this but we will do our we'll do the best we can to bring you that but i mean you guys have been really great at no matter what time you know the shows have been awesome uh but a guy yelled go jackets last night and uh i first i was like what and then i was like oh and then i was like yeah yeah and i was like go jackets yeah uh then I was like, oh. And then I was like, yeah, yeah. And then I was like, go Jackets. Yeah. Yeah, so I love go Jackets.

Grant Morgan. Nate said if the NFL fined him for throwing the football in the stands, he would tell them they had to give the money to charity. And Aaron said that would never happen. But that is what the NFL, as well as other professional leagues, do with the money they collect from fines. They give it to the charity. Oh, that's nice.

I doubt it, though. You know what I mean? It goes to a charity. That's just a tax write-off. Yeah, yeah. Tax shelter. Thanks, Grant. No, that is nice.

That is very nice. Very nice. Yeah. Jeff J. Snyder. Baker's Dozen was right. We call him B-Names. I don't know if I want to explain that. Any B-Name.

They're talking about me. Yeah, Bogo. I remember Bogo. Oh, yeah. I love Bogo Tour. Oh, okay. I told him about the Bogo Tour this week. Yeah.

Yeah, that was a fun one. That's amazing. Love that. Baker's Dozen was right. The Braves did call themselves America's Team during the TBS days. Ted Turner started in the 1970s as the owner of the team. It was almost a joke most of the time because they were really bad for a long time. The Braves have always been America's Team, too.

Well, they used to be. You weren't on this episode, but I said they were America's team and no one agreed. They're like, no, that's just the Cowboys. It's because they were on what? TNT or TBS every night, right? Yeah. Yeah. Ted Turner.

He made them America's team. I feel like they are. Still are. Yeah. Always will be. It was that John Smoltz, Greg Maddox era. Yeah. Dale Murphy.

Tom Gleiman. Boom. That was the- Fred McGriff. That was when I was collecting baseball cards. Yeah. Me too. Back in that era. Yeah. Dale Murphy. Tom Gleiman. Boom. That was the first. Fred McGrath. That was when I was collecting baseball cards. Yeah. Me too. Back in the big time.

Yeah. Roy Opata Olindi. Roy. Nice job, Nate. Is that it? I don't know, but that's a good guess. Roy Opata Olindi. That's great.

I felt like they knew that other stuff was going to be so much. They could just give him Roy up top. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Like the Opata Olindi is like. Mm-hmm. It's other stuff was going to be so much. They go, just give them Roy up top. Like the Opada. Oh, Lindy is like, it's like, you're going to, that's like parents are like,

it's not easy, dude. Well, we're about to do you. So we'll give you a nice Roy. I almost thought I should have given him. Oh, Roy.

Oh, Roy. Oh, Roy. Just keep it going. Oh, Pata. Oh,

Lindy. Oh, just keep it going. Oh boy. I'm pretty sure that I'm the only person from Kenya who listens to this show. So here's a helpful heads up. There are way more than three animals on this continent that eat meat. John Chris said he went on a safari.

There's only three animals out there that eat meat. Crocodiles, leopards, jackals, African wild dogs, just to name a few. John Chris was not paying attention on that safari. Some poor American is going to try to pet a baboon and lose a limb. That's true. That is true. Roy. Yeah.

Roy's are, he's are, uh, what are they, uh, on the news? Like our correspondent, he's our correspondent. Kenyan man on the street. He's our Kenyan correspondent. Let's go to Roy. Go to Roy and Kenyan.

And then he just, my brother's over in Africa right now. Uh, well, you should warn him. Cause if you watch the John Chris episode, it'd be dangerous. It would be.

Cherith Cute Story. That's got to be a made up last name. I doubt it. Nobody lies, man. Yeah. Cherith Cute Story. Cute Story. It sounded like they were dissing Richard Jewell as being a bad example of moral character. Richard Jewell was falsely accused. Ultimately, he was vindicated, but that got so...

Vindicated. Vindicated. He was vindicated, but that got so little media attention compared to the public beating he took for something he didn't do. I don't know. Do we say anything bad about it? I'm a big Richard Jewell fan. Yeah, I know you are. It was just kind of in passing, John, when I pointed out that Kanye replaced John on the speaking, we're all laughing. He's like Richard Jewell, and I don't know what he meant. We all kind of laughed and moved on.

Oh, yeah, yeah. But she's absolutely right. They made that movie. It's just a funny name. Somebody else from Atlanta. Yeah, yeah yeah and it's a different and the joke would be that it's a name that you wouldn't we're naming big celebrities yeah yeah and it's rich yeah i'm a giant rich jewel fan giant uh you watch that movie it's insane what's the movie? Richard Jewell. Okay. It's a great movie. It's Clint Eastwood. I love Clint Eastwood.

Atlanta bombing. And they blamed it on this dude. This dude tried to save everybody. And that whole media turns against this guy and just ruins this guy's life. Jeez. Yeah. So I'm a giant Richard Jewell fan. Yeah, the FBI was just throwing it on this.

I mean, just insane. John Lease. Dusty could be David Cross's younger brother. People always say that. They don't say younger brother, but they always say I look like David Cross in disguise. Yeah. People say it all the time. I like David Cross.

I think y'all have different talking points. Yeah, I think so. But nonetheless. Yeah. Very funny in movies, though. I love him'all have different talking points. Yeah, I think so. But nonetheless. Yeah. Very funny in movies, though. Yeah, yeah. I love him in movies. Yeah. Arrested Development.

Very funny. Yeah, he's great. Scary Movie 2. Yeah. I need to watch. Those are pretty good, right? Scary Movie 2 was really good. Yeah.

I don't know about the others. Yeah, that'd be a fun one. Grace Pizwara. Yeah, that'd be a fun one. Grace Pizwara. Hello, folks. I saw Brass Band in North Charleston with my friend. Alright. We had an absolute blast. One of his openers delivered a punchline a little too quickly and the audience didn't react. As we

slowly caught on, he started making fun of us and our intelligence, which did make us laugh. But I thought it felt a little like one of those tricks Nate talks about and kind of amateur. I wanted to know y'all's feelings on putting it back on the audience when a joke bombs. I blame the audience every time. I mean, I agree with her. It is one of those kind of tricks we do when you don't laugh and you try to turn it on them just to get you out of a situation.

Yeah. It's never, it's almost always, it's almost always the sign of a joke didn't work. And then the person's just scrambling, just scrambling to not look terrible. Yeah. And sometimes it works. Sometimes you, you put it back on the crowd and sometimes the crowd buys into it and you're like you keep i've never done that but you see people do it yeah yeah yeah i think it's uh it's probably it's just really the what the personality of the yeah comic is if you know i would never yeah if i like to blame myself actually

yeah as it's happening if you're like a daniel tosh jeselnik type that has an arrogant confident vibe. I feel like that's a fine move. Yeah. It's a sincere persona. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Daniel Tosh does it. I mean, so does Jezelnik, too.

They do. Daniel Tosh even more so putting it out on the crowd. He does it very, very well. Yeah. And it's very, very funny. It's so over the top that you don't feel like you're just like fine being the dumb one yeah so i mean it could be something like that i know a lot of the comics in charleston i wish i knew who that was but i would think that daniel tosh probably would tell a joke that the

audience wouldn't catch and then it would be okay to make fun of that yes i think most of the time when it happens that's not the case it It was actually, it was Daniel Tosh. It was too open for us. Yeah. Yeah. Incredible. Jessalyn Nick hosted. We figured it out.

Yeah. But yeah, most of the time. Yeah. It's a, it probably, they've done it that way a million times. They know the joke's not going to work. They go ahead and plan the reaction of making fun of the audience. Yeah. That's what I think.

Well, that's, you see stuff like that pop in where you can tell someone has it's like they've messed the joke up once and then they got out of it in such a funny way that then it just ends up becoming right that just stays in there now if the joke works it messes up your whole thing i've heard you say if you ever see that on a special like you said that if you ever say that on special special, like you said that, if you ever see that on a special, it means that they rehearsed it that way. Yeah. That joke never quite worked. You're like, you want to really make sure that it didn't come from you.

You go, this is Nate. Nate said this. I've had that thought. There's people on specials that'll be like, oh, you groaning now, or oh, you don't laugh, but this, this, and this. I must say, look, you've created an act. So I've created an act. I'm not a big, you've created an act. So I've created an act. I'm not a big, I'm a big act person.

I go up there and I do my act. And so I'm fine with creating the act. But yeah, you can tell when it's like, all right, like, you know, it can be over the top. Stuff happens and you're going to have a thing that happened really funny. Then you do think, well, maybe I'll try to do it everywhere. But yeah, sometimes you're like, just do a joke. Just fix the joke. Well, also it's an opener in Charleston.

Maybe they are an amateur, so we can cut them some slack. Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, maybe they're just going to start. No, I would be. Yeah. No, hammer it. You know who chooses the comments? Hammer it.

The headliner of that show. And he wanted to put it out there i say hammer oh oh so you know who it was i do oh oh i didn't realize that he asked him to be on the show he doesn't listen to this podcast um he's gonna listen when somebody tells him about this yeah yeah yeah yeah no i mean it's it i would imagine he it was in the moment of you know doing it but i mean that might be his act so i don't know when i when they said i saw a brass band i'm just now connecting the dots yeah he's the b name yeah i thought they saw a brass band in north charlest with a comedian opener. So I'm glad I understand that.

Yeah. All right. Eric T. Holman. My wife and I took a week-long honeymoon in Mexico, and when we returned, we started noticing little pictures of Dusty all over our house. Turns out some friends of ours have a tradition of pranking people while they're on their honeymoon. They hit over 400 we're're having a good time.

Pictures in our house. So far we found about 150 and find more every day. Wow. That's amazing. That's awesome. I mean, it feels like you'll hate me by the time you're done finding pictures, but I love that.

I like that tradition. That is. Uh, yeah, that's yeah. You love the tradition of people finding pictures of you. Yeah. I like that. These people hit. I also like arenas yeah yeah i feel like that'd be a good

prank for you to play on people yeah that's awesome just leave pictures of myself yeah i like it like a glitter bomb but just pictures of me as you're vacuuming it up you just see me it could be funny if you go to someone's house just always leave a signed headshot and just have it somewhere ridiculous i would see how long it takes i would do that see me it could be funny if you go to someone's house just always leave a signed headshot and just have it somewhere ridiculous i wouldn't see how long it takes i would do that comedy condos for a while and i felt like people were making fun of me for it and i was like come on guys it's a joke we're making a joke here yeah it's a good bit the problem about yeah the problem about irony is that there's certain people that would seriously do that.

Yeah. That would genuinely do that. And you're like, I'm the ironic headshot next to the guy that's like, this is the real headshot. Yeah. That's almost like the last joke you're talking about. Because there could be people that do it that way, the tricks, but maybe he's not. Yeah. So you don't know. just he's not then there's

nothing wrong with you yeah i'd like to leave a picture behind in hopes that the next comic in the condo is a fan and they'll be like oh this is nice that he left this i'll take this home appleton condo or hotel uh hotel nice so i left one there for the maid. Smart. Yeah. Did you really? No. I like that move. I'm into it. I'm into it.

Yeah. Johnny Shakes. I was at a Jerry Seinfeld show in Minneapolis, and he was taking questions from the crowd at the end of the show. Someone asked, who is his favorite comedian right now? And he replied, Nate Bargetze. He also said he wished he was still shooting comedians in cars so he could have nate on how about that wow yes very very nice yeah i have uh i have been talking to jerry so that's big news all right big time and uh you're gonna direct this next special i'm gonna

direct it on nate land business we have been texting and talking and uh a little bit more and it's pretty crazy he sent me a very nice uh message he watched my last special and it was very overwhelming and uh it's obviously the, the, you know, it's, I mean, it's all I've ever wanted was for that dude to, uh, watch.

And then, and we just started talking. And, uh, so yeah, it's, it's very nice that he said that, um,

he's going to, uh, hopefully I'll see him at, he's might come to radio city one night, I think if he can make it, which, because we have not met in person. That is this weekend. We have not been in person, but we've been talking and that make it, which, because we have not met in person. That is this weekend.

We have not been in person, but we've been talking and that's been, uh, yeah, very, very special. That's awesome. It's extra cool.

Cause that's your favorite show. You've probably seen more than any, right? I've seen it more than anything. Yeah. He would be my favorite comic. I mean, it's,

you know, I mean, I like so many other comments. Cause once you get into comedy there, you're just like, wow, I can't believe there's so many comedians that are so good. And that's look, that's the thing that we're trying to do with the Nate Land. Like is like that's what went on. Like when I go on the road and there's, you know, I had Gary Veeder and Joe Zimmerman this weekend with me.

And it's like that's what this whole show is about to be. And is you see a couple other comics, make two or three other comics, uh, and they go up and you just, you know, just enjoy trying to show you some stuff you can enjoy. And then you can go watch Joe's special this weekend and, uh, have a good time. And, you know, people can get into staying. I want people to get into standup comedy. Standup comedy has got to taken a big leap right now. And a lot of people do do it i want people to be able to be able to get into it and not be fearful of it just being i don't know too heavy or too not saying everything's going to be right up your alley you got to go into it and i can't predict how you're going to like everything but i can control the know, just so it's not too dirty or too, you know, I figured that's being done.

And so we do it this way. And that's what I, and then, you know, be introduced, you know, younger people can get into it too as well. Because, I mean, the other stuff is dirty. I mean, I have no problem. You know, people do whatever you want to do. Most of my best friends are the dirtiest comedians. It's guys I've started with but you know i do this brian regan has a good story about opening for jerry seinfeld

i think when in the early 90s maybe or late 80s uh but he uh some some lady was caught waving waving him at the end of the show waving for brian to come over so he came over like oh cool you know young brian and uh she hands him some panties and she's like can you give these to jerry and he's like yeah yeah sure i'll thanks i'll pass these along i think you opened for jerry for a few years i saw him open for jerry yeah really when was that how long ago was this early 2000s early 2000s. T-Pack. I saw it too. All right. Mm-hmm.

That's cool. Joe Zimmerman. I like that I just went through that trying to be not dirty, and then you- Well, did I say anything dirty? Well, I'm just joking. I mean, not really. And this is the content that I'm saying. It's like this.

But it's just funny that it's like, as I say that, you go, let me tell you this joke about this lady giving a pair of panties to him. Well, you can buy panties at a family store. I didn't know that was dirty. But you understand the dirtiness of the fact of the handing. I don't know. Not innocent to me. Yeah. I apologize. I'm sorry that I offended everybody. Yeah. Because Joe's offent to me. Yeah. I apologize.

I'm sorry that I offended everybody. Yeah. Because Joe's off. All right. And we're back. Joe's gone. No, no. I just like the timing of it.

Yeah, yeah. I thought it was funny. Perfect timing. The timing. He goes, oh, I got a great Brian Regan Seinfeld. This girl brought her underwear and gave it to Brian. You're like, huh. I mean. I just went on a long... I'm going to tell you what we won't stand for.

Cheap shots. Joe, go ahead. I got a lot more where that came from. And Nate supports it. Phillip Lawson. This is super random, but I searched all four of you on Tennessee

unclaimed property and Brian's name is the only one that got results. Just thought I'd let him know he might have money to claim. Amazed it wasn't Aaron like the grill Weber. Yeah. So I looked into this. He sent this a few, two, three months ago. And I went on this website, Tennessee Unclaimed Property, and I had quite a bit of money there waiting for me. So about 15 years ago. Wait, what? How much? I'm about to tell the story. Wow.

About 15 years ago or so, my company, I should have started by saying so much. It was $4,000. Okay. I mean, that's a lot. It is a lot. That's great. But it's not. Life changing.

Guys, this is the last time you'll ever see me. He's got a gold necklace on right now and he's got a Rolex and he's just sitting there. We haven't noticed. He goes, oh yeah, I guess you did come into some money. I mean, I'd love to find four grand. But yeah, it is kind of the wrong setup. Yeah. Like 3.5 million. Life changing money.

Anyway, about 15 years ago or so, the company I worked for sold to another company. into this other thing where you could either roll it into a 401k or you could get some type of annuity where you get $70 a month or something like that. Now, dumb me thought, oh, I want to go full-time to stand-up comedy. So that's $70 a month I could really use. Well, somewhere along the way, I moved and the paperwork got messed up and that money, I just never knew what happened to it. And I was so dumb. I couldn't even figure out what happened to it. I just like, I don't know. And every month it was going to my old address and for like five years, six years or whatever. So I went online, put in a claim for it.

They don't easily just give you the money. You got to show a lot of proof. But then they mailed me a check for $4,000. Wow. Thanks to Philip Lawson. Wow. Philip Lawson coming through. What a dude.

I wonder if that's one of the most things, uh, someone listening has done for a pod, like directly for the, not besides you listening, but straight up, you just gave me. You gave Brian $4,000.

Yeah. Phillip, if you want to come to one of my shows, I'll get you in half price. Why don't you do a South Carolina, Alabama search for me? Because I've lived there too. Maybe I have unclaimed money there somehow. Those are your rough days. You know, because I've lived there too. Maybe I have unclaimed money there somehow. Those are your rough days

though there. Yeah, that is true. You owe money there. Maybe he doesn't need to go. That's true. Dusty Slay owes this much. Yeah.

He might wake a giant, sleeping giant there. That is true. Like me with SoundExchange. Yeah. Oh yeah. First SoundExchange you got. I complained about

not getting enough and they did rent some paperwork. Turns out I owed them money. How is that possible? Because there was another Brian Bates who was a musician and they'd been sitting me his money. That's incredible. So all my friends were like getting this amount.

And I was like, I don't think I'm getting enough. And I complained to them about it. And they're, they did rent a check and they're like, actually you've been getting too much. you owe us they oh yeah that's amazing it was that's that's a that's it was perfect it was when it happened it was truly perfect because i think you did get i thought you finally did get something and then or something i was

getting a little bit yeah but obviously I was getting too much. Yeah. I like the idea that the letter might be worded like we did some research and turns out we did find some issues with how you're getting paid and you're reading it like, yes, yes. Yeah.

I love that. Joe did, had some stuff. Can you talk about all that? No. Not allowed to yet. Yeah. Okay. Ooh, cliffhanger. Yeah. Okay. Ooh,

cliffhanger. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm trying to think what I can talk about. Just in general, we got more stuff, but, uh,

you search for some stuff and basically kind of did an unclaimed property kind of thing, but for a lot of comedians. Yeah. Got some, got some, got some money coming to a lot of different comedians yeah okay very nice thing yeah it's all i can say uh but it's very very very nice uh luke middleton hello from maine i saw the natives three upcoming

shows in portland maine with not one but two in the same evening uh Uh, I have three. Uh, well, I'm sure both shows will be great. If you guys were going to see your favorite comedian, you had the choice between the first and the second, which would you choose to go to and why? Uh, I mean, that's really up to you. It's, uh, honestly, my shows, I mean, everybody's just very nice. And so they end up being great shows. It's not like you can say, well, the first one, I'm going to do this. And the second one, I'm not. There could be any reasons you could have one.

Because, I mean, there's times you think, all right, well, you know, the first one's first. And maybe it's earlier and it's going to be, they're not there. The energy is going to be a little bit lower or whatever reason. And then that is the best show. And then the second show can be, well, they're going to be fired up and it's going to be amazing. And then it's like, that one could not be, but I mean, overall, fortunately where, when you get into these bigger places, the shows all end up being the same. I would say if you were going to a comedy club, a lot of times it's better to go to the earlier show because the one that can be later can end up being a little drunker.

And it's also the person you're going to see where the crowd could be a little more rowdy or a little drunker, a little more problems. Yeah, there's really no way to know because I find even at those shows, for me the crowd might be a little more rowdier, that can be the more interesting show. Right. You might get my best jokes and my my best act in the early show. But the late show, you're going to get weirder stuff where things just happen. And the more in the moment stuff is funny. Yes. Yeah. The early show, you can get on in there and get your seat. You don't have to wait outside for the first yeah yeah that's the thing that's yeah although more traffic on the early show but on the first show comics got to keep it to a certain time because there is a second show

where the second show he could go a little longer if you so that's true that's true it does 58 minutes every show yeah i don't do't do. I do my act. Yeah, by the book. Yeah, by the book. Like a 60-minute show. Yes, that's what I do. But I mean, yeah. All the shows are great.

I don't think for a Nate show that the time is better. Because you did a 3 p.m. in Salt Lake City that was just as good. A 3 p.m. 3 p.m. Just as good. But yeah. Salt Lake City's great just as good. A 3 p.m. 3 p.m. Just as good. But yeah. Salt Lake City is great. I love it there.

It is. You want to tell us about Delete Me? Delete Me. Guys, we're excited to tell you about our new sponsor, Delete Me. Laura and I have been using this service personally for a few years now.

There was a Leif something that played football somewhere, right? No, Ryan Leif. Ryan Leif. But there was a Leaf something that played football somewhere, right? No, Ryan Leaf. But there's a Leaf.

Isn't there an actor or something named Leaf? Leaf Garrett? Maybe. Leaf Garrett sounds familiar. Levi Garrett is chewing tobacco. There's River Phoenix. We're getting somewhere now. Stone Cold Steve Austin.

All the great explorers. I think you're right. Leaf is, I like Leaf. Yeah, that's a good name. I like that too. Leaf Erickson is the Viking? Leaf, you need to leave. I bet that's hard though.

If you're a Leaf and just constantly getting asked to leave. Yeah. Or maybe you're like, they're like, please like please stay you're like i gotta leave yeah leaf's gotta leave he's gotta leave leaf don't leave please leaf they just say that because they know he can't even you know you're asking him to leave yeah there's no leaf hates the autumn do you know leaf's father's name tree that's a good guess but from our names episode could you guess what leaf's father's name would be uh ground oak dirt do you remember his last name eric's erickson oh eric oh it's eric's son yeah yes whoa what was eric's last name? Son. His dad's name was Son.

So it just keeps going. Okay, interesting. And then his dad's name was just an S. And then it was just, they yelled at each other. Wow. And noises. Interesting. Yeah.

I like that history. Well, he did. They think he- Zimmerman. Like your Zimmer would have been your dad's name is zimmer correct and then he was a man he was a man and that's how you got to joe incredible incredible bargatze your dad's name is barge barge because because his grandpa drove a tugboat ours stands for like the barkeeper.

Oh. His name comes from that. We were the first house at the gate. Yeah, Bargate or something. Bargate. We were the first trying to be there. Like, you can't come in. And then they asked us to leave.

We were the closest. The original gatekeepers. The original gatekeepers of. Oh, not like. Now a bit of a gatekeeper itself of the Nate Land Company. We didn't own it. Not like slinging beers when you said barkeep.

No, it's like... It was that... I think we just were... I don't... It's not come... It doesn't come from... We're just the ones that get shot first when the people come in the gate.

But we're there to... We live the closest to the gate. And it's kind of like... Barely in the town. We're barely in the town. Oh, I the gate. Okay. And it's like kind of like. Barely in the town. We're barely in the town. Oh, I get it. Yeah. You're the front lines. Front lines.

Nice. And they're fine with just moving those lines back. And then now we're, now we're the first outside the gate. Yeah. Go ahead. Take a step. Yeah. We're near the gate.

Outgates it. Yeah. Outgates it. Yeah. Outgates it. Yeah. We're always,. Yeah. Outgatesy. Yeah. We're always, but we're near that gate. We don't get far from the gate.

In or out. Well, anyway, Leif Erikson's day is also October 9th, which I think is this coming Monday. It didn't get mentioned as much as Columbus Day, but. I wonder why. Not as cool a ring to it, I think. Mm-hmm. Not a lot of cities named after Leif Erikson. Not many Vikings left either.

Yeah, you got a lot of Columbuses. I'm afraid to ask what sleigh meant, by the way. I mean, I think we were... You were the one charging the gates. Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's true.

But yes, Columbus. So he, to get from Europe to India or China, you had to go all the way down around Africa. So they said, instead of going east, let's see if we go west and see if we could get there quicker. And they didn't realize how big the world was. So he sailed and it took him like six years to convince somebody to let him even do it to fund it he finally convinced spain he was from italy but spain funded him and then man how you get that

money from the king and queen i know you got to go get it from spain was he in spain yeah i think he went to a few countries and hit them up. Angel investors. Angel investors. But I mean, back then, you got to go, how do you even ask Spain for the money? Like, you got to take a, what, a four-year boat ride? Yeah. And go to Spain? And what did Spain get in return?

Well, they got the land. I mean, that was. What land? Did they? Oh, Spain. South America. They got Spain. Yeah. Well Did they? Oh, South America. They got Spain. Yeah.

Well, they got Mexico. Yeah. But Columbus got to America and the English got America. So it sounds like it didn't work right. Well, he didn't even make it to the mainland. Bates was back. He was alive during this time. Go ahead, Brian.

I'm trying to remember from watching the news. Yeah. He was alive during this time. Go ahead, Brian. I'm trying to remember from watching the news. Yeah. He just got to where Haiti is and the Bahamas and El Salvador and places like that. And he thought, again, it was India.

So he called it. That's why they're called Indians, because he thought he arrived in India. He never, ever knew that he found a new world. He never knew that? I don't think so. Did he get killed? Yeah. Did he get killed? Or he died? No, I guess he just died. Yeah. I don't guess he got killed. I know he's not alive today.

Yeah, yeah. So many explorers got killed by Native Americans. I forgot. I think he maybe just died. He didn't get killed by Native Americans. Yeah. At first I thought he did because Magellan did. I'm getting confused. He was just trying to make a map. He was just trying to find a spice tray

to the West Indies. Do you know what continent's named after a person? Yeah. Oh, Asia. I do. I think America named after Amerigo Vespucci. Yeah. Very good. Joe is killing it. I do I think America Named after Amerigo Vespucci Yeah

Very good What is Joe is Joe is killing it Joe went to college He comes His dad's a professor Is that true?

Yeah I did go to college It's true Your dad's a professor? Yeah Of history? He teaches Writing

Yeah English Joe comes Yeah it's old money Yeah A lot of money Deep pockets A lot of money Professor James Madison He teaches writing. Yeah. English. Joe comes, yeah, it's old money. Yeah. A lot of money. Deep pockets. A lot of money.

Professor James Madison University. That's where the money is. Yeah. That's where the money is. It's a fun school. It's a smart school. My grandpa was a professor as well. Yeah.

So, yeah. Of writing? Engineering. But he lived in India, so it comes all full circle. Are they disappointed with the route you've taken? Cause you went West like Columbus. No, my dad would have been, well, my dad's happy. He would have, he would have been supportive of whatever I did.

Yeah. Sweet dad. Yeah. Good dad. And you still write. I do love to write. So I did inherit that from him. It only took him 10 weeks.

Not as long as you might think. I mean, it's a long time. To get from where? From Europe to America or to the Bahamas. Yeah. I mean,

I would have thought it would have been many months. Yeah. I mean, that's two months. That's two and a half months. Yeah. That's not bad though.

It's not crazy, but it's like, are you sure you want to do this? Yeah. But I mean, so he goes over there and asks for the money and he's like,

I need, you know, they're like, let me think about it. He's like, why does he got to live here? On a climate-friendly ship. Three ships. When powered. Yeah. Do you know the names of the ships? Nina, the Pita, the Santa Maria.

Man, you guys are pros. Yeah. Was that Columbus's ships? That was Columbus. Okay. Before I forget. What was the Mayflower? It was the Pilgrims. The Mayflower was the mayflower as the pilgrims and the mayflower

is the mayflower pilgrim no no but when did they come uh 60 16 yeah 60s before i forget you had a nate had a pretty good america joke in australia that i haven't heard you keep doing pretty solid what was it when you say in australia you say i'm from america oh oh yeah i need to do that that's a good joke yeah that i would say when you tell someone it's it doesn't it's funny to like say america because then you go to another country and they go where are you from i go i'm from america yeah and it just sounds so aggressive but you don't i don't know what to say like and they say the states and something i I'm from the States. And so that is a little bit easier,

but it was like, I just liked walking around and going there. Like, Oh, where are you from? America. And then you say, you tagged it up with, and you're like,

you know, which one I'm talking about. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yes. Oh yeah. That's yeah. That is a good joke.

I'm from America. They don't ever go which one they know yeah yeah north or south yeah no one from south america goes i'm from america yeah that's true yeah and canada doesn't do it either they're from north america yeah yeah no we make them do their but we're the ones that go you know what's up yeah you know where i'm from yeah we took the whole thing there's north america south america but we're like we're the united states of america yeah yeah technically a peruvian guys from america well chilean guy he knows how to bring the fun out of it

so joe does i was like i don't know what you're saying. He's a squasher of a good time. Go ahead, Joe. Bring it back down. A guy from Peru. That's all I'm saying. It's a country. You were like, technically a Peruvian guy. It's from America. And I'm like, what does that mean?

Is Peru in America? Is Peru a state? Peru is in South America. Right next to Brazil. Oh, that's what we named it after. The guy we named it after America Stevenson. America Vespucci. America Vespucci. I like that though.

America Stevenson. I like that. His dad's name was Steven. Yeah. Who's your son? My son's America. He's the one they named it. I like that. His dad's name was Steven. Yeah. Who's your son? My son's American. He's the one they named you. Yeah.

Oh. I don't think any of you knew Peru as a country. Well, the way you said it, you're like a Peruvian guy. He's from America. And I'm like, I don't know what he's saying. I was trying to follow the same point y'all were making. Yeah, but you don't bring your college stuff in here. Yeah, too much knowledge.

That's a good point. He went to MTSU, but that was in the 70s. We had Discover Peru, yeah. Yeah, because, yeah, he hasn't learned

about Macon's history. MTSU? Yeah. Montana State University. Yeah, that's where he went. Yeah. He looks like a guy that travels a lot, Brian.

That would move that far from his home. Middle Tennessee State. Oh, good college. We played them in college golf. Nice. Nice work. Thank you. Thank you.

Well, anyway, it was named after Amerigo Vespucci instead of Columbus because Columbus didn't know what he discovered. And this guy was the first one that realized this isn't India. And then there was a map maker who was, they're called cartographers, I think. And he made a map and he wrote where that land was, America. And from then on, it was called America. Where that land was America. And from then on, it was called America. I love that Columbus just got some cities. He's credited with discovering the whole thing. And he just got some cities in Georgia and Ohio. Yeah. Probably some more.

Yeah. Columbus, Ohio is very known. I like it a lot. Yeah. Solid city. When the map people, but they would just like kind of be drawing it as it goes. Mm-hmm. Yeah. I don't believe the map people but they would just like kind of be drawing it as as it goes yeah i don't believe the map people yeah i don't yeah i don't believe that you're able to be like no this is how it looks yeah like even now even now that's a good conspiracy i like i was about to say it's amazing how well they do but you're making a point well they don't they're just like yeah this is the

shape of it and we go well we don't have a we can't show you're making a point. Well, they don't. They're just like, yeah, this is the shape of it. And we go, well, we don't have a, we can't show you're wrong. So, but then satellite image show that it's that. Well, but airplanes could fly over. Yeah. But how high can you look down on Florida from way up and be like, oh, that's the shape. Yeah. I think when you drive down Florida, it feels like that shape.

It does feel like it. Yeah. I think there's also professionals that surveil stuff. They have those little surveil things. Surveyors? Survey. Thank you. Yeah.

Do you not know how to say that word? And they use those little triangle things to figure out all the lines, but I don't know how they do it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think it's amazing they figure out how to do it. But a map guy a long time ago, what's he doing? I mean, I guess they come back with information and he just takes what he's learned and puts it. He's just in a boat, just rides along the land and he just goes and holds a straight line.

And then he's like, dip, back up. I mean, it mean just a slow drawing a map back then i mean that is some real work yeah you're just measuring along the whole way i mean i bet when you're doing it back then you also know no one knows yeah that's true and so you're just doing a little like probably i want to go to lunch i'll do this in five minutes you could probably find some old maps that were very phoned in well they were the one that

as America first written on it you can see an image of it I mean they weren't even close to what it looked like but yeah just a circle I'm just guessing I would just do a circle

he just goes yeah he goes wow it's circular he goes yeah whip around it he goes you know give or you know give or take but just do a couple like draw like a

pac-man yeah basically it's all everything's a circle yeah you draw stuff off of it do draw pac-man yeah then you'd be like wow so it's like an island it's a big island turtle island that's what some people say the earth is turtle island i think so the old old stuff they would call what they call no called america turtle island what does that mean yeah what does that mean i don't know have you not heard that no i'm guessing not right i don't know if we look at the same internet well let's see yeah turtle island indigenous north america Yeah, Turtle Island, indigenous North America folklore. That's just what they called it. Yeah, Turtle Island is a name for Earth or North America used by some indigenous peoples.

Yeah, but why? We got to get the next sentence. Oh, okay. Well, I usually just do headlines. I think we read enough, Joe. Well, anyway. I mean, I think it fits in with what we're talking about here. I mean.

Because we look like a turtle. Yeah. Turtle Island. Yeah. I mean, yeah, you can look it up on your own time, really. But. Yeah. But I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't crazy here. And I did hear that.

Yeah. Turtle Island. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think this is pretty amazing too. In 1503, he got Columbus and his men got stranded in Jamaica and the natives refused to, after a while to keep feeding them and helping them out. Columbus had a book of astronomy that showed when the next eclipse was about to be. It was about to happen. So he told them that his God was mad at them for not helping them

and the moon was going to get blacked out. And then, of course, the eclipse happened and they all freaked out and they're like, here, take whatever you want. Just don't. Wow. He said that to? To the Jamaicans. Yeah.

Or whatever they were called then. That's a power move. Was he a Taurus, I wonder? That's a power move. Was he a Taurus? I wonder. That's a low blow. But it's amazing. Even 1500s, they knew when an eclipse was going to happen.

I'm amazed they figured out how to communicate different languages to each other. I learned that when the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, one of the first

Native Americans that greeted them, greeted them in English. You know what? May 20th, he is a Taurus. Oh, really? Oh, no, that's when he died. Isn't that crazy? what? May 20th, he is a Taurus. Oh, really? Oh, no, that's when he died. Isn't that crazy?

And asked for a beer. Wow. That is... Oh, really? Yeah. That was amazing. Yeah, how would they even... I guess there's like culture, you know. Well, the pilgrims came over in like the 1600s. He was born... They don't even know when he was born.

Yeah, roundabout. Roundabout, August 25th and October 31st. Imagine, they know his day he died, but. Well, he was popular then. Yeah, at 54. But when they go to his, well, when were you born? And they're like, I don't know. We'll give you like a month.

Yeah. Like we don't know exactly. Yeah. Maybe they didn't know exactly. Yeah. Maybe they didn't do birthdays. I appreciate them being honest. Who? Wikipedia? Yeah.

Yeah. That's nice of them. So, I mean, it was a long time ago. We talked about this before. He, they thought mermaids were real and uh columbus thought he'd saw some but they were actually manatees so yeah yeah there is conspiracy around that yeah i call them sirens you know like where the they they like people at sea for so long would think that they would see these women in the water these really attractive women and they would like be

calling to them so men would dive overboard to overboard and then they would just eat them up. Yeah, they had to tie them to a pole or whatever to keep them from jumping in. The manatees? Well, whatever it was in there, yeah. Oh, like they were just losing their mind out on the ocean. Yeah. Yeah, I could see that i mean two and a half months of just yeah you know i mean just a brutal whales make some crazy sounds i just learned that they used to think whale

clicking and the whale songs were ghosts they they were super freaked out by whales i can see that yeah underneath do you hear them above water? Yeah. Apparently they're making sounds way below. And there's one, I think it's a sperm whale does a clicking, but then the other whales, you know, they do their songs and they didn't know what, they didn't know those were whales. They thought it was ghosts in the sea. I mean, imagine being on a ship with no engine. It's all wind. Yeah.

The middle of the night, just darkness all around. Oh man. That'd be terrifying. Yeah. The middle of the night, just darkness all around. Oh, man, that'd be terrifying. Yeah. And you hear everything. Like in Castaway, Tom Hanks was out at sea, and there was a whale making noises. Oh, okay. I've not seen it in a long time. Well, that whale comes up and breathes.

Mm-hmm. But it was making sounds, and then eventually he thinks it's still the whale. The movie makes you think it's still the whale, but it was a ship that was blowing a horn. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean the ocean kind of blew that whole. I'm just waiting to watch Castaway.

Oh yeah. Great, great movie. Volleyball. You just told the main thing. Good volleyball. Yeah. That is the main thing.

That is the main thing. I wasn't listening. So I'm still good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah., so I'm still good. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Ponce de Leon, I hope I'm saying that right, he was searching for the fountain of youth.

He was told there was a fountain that if you could find, you could dip in it and be young, I guess, forever. And he thought it was in Florida. That's where you go to be old forever. Am I right? Yeah. Oh. Oh. I got you. I got you. thought it was in florida that's where you go to be old forever am i right yeah oh oh i gotcha we do fist bumps around here joe yeah well you know i'm learning yeah yeah that's good so he searched all over florida uh supposedly in saint augustine florida that's where they say it is now yeah people still go there now well in saint augustine they have a fountain of

youth archaeological park and they say because they think that's where the legend is that it They say it is now. Yeah. People still go there now. Well, in St. Augustine, they have a fountain of youth archeological park. And they say, because they think that's where the legend is that it was at, but no one's ever found it. Do you ever see the movie Cocoon? You remember that? Yeah. No, I do remember the movie. I've not seen it.

Oh, that's about, you know, they have these alien pods and they put them in the swimming pool and it's at a retirement home. And when the old people swim in the swimming pool and it's at a retirement home and when the old people swim in the pool it makes them young again they're starting to like not physically young but they start to be vibrant it's a great movie yeah i don't want to give it away but it's a good movie i'm gonna go watch that i'm gonna go watch that tonight that was like a famous yeah wilford brimley's in it that was his big movie yeah yeah i've talked about the wilford brimley's in it. That was his big movie. Yeah. And I talk about the Wilford Brimley cocoon line, which is, he was much younger in that movie

than he actually looked. Oh, yeah. And now there's a whole thing where, to see if you've crossed it, I think I'm the only one at this table that's crossed it, but you're not far from it. What was it? He was like 49 or whatever when he made that movie,

or something. Maybe not that young, but he was a lot younger than you would think playing an old man in the movie. So now every time it started off with like celebrities,

but anybody that crosses the Wilford Brimley cocoon line, you can go on the, on there and. He was 50 years old in cocoon and he looked like this. He looked like that?

Yeah. Wow. But he looked like that 20 years later too. Yeah. How did he look like that? A lot Wow. But he looked like that 20 years later too. Yeah. How did he look like that? A lot of sun? A lot of smoking?

I think he had diabetes. He's famous for saying it like that. Diabetes. Diabetes. He's the only one that says it. There's a commercial that I found the other day. Yeah, I got the diabetes. It's the same commercial.

One guy's saying diabetes. He's saying diabetes. Same commercial. Yeah. Diabetes. Where, like, it's the same commercial. One guy's saying diabetes, he's saying diabetes. Same commercial. Yeah. Diabetes. That's good. That diabetes sounds like it's unfortunate you got it. You got, like, bit by something.

Mm-hmm. Diabetes sounds, you know, yeah. I worry about that stuff, but. Oh. All right. He died. Yeah, just recently. Oh, really? I mean, the last couple but. Oh. All right. He died. Yeah, just recently. Oh, really?

I mean, the last couple years. 2020. Yeah. Mm-hmm. But you know what I do? Zoc Doc. Oh, yeah. You can now find and book in-person or telemedicine appointments for medical or dental care.

That's helpful for people. I think he was trying to convert them to Christianity and they didn't like it. And they got in a fight and killed him. Most of his men did not make it, but. It sounds like a hoax to me. 18 of them made it. Well, I don't know. But he made it.

I mean, the Straits of Magellan, which in South America, you can go through the separates Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean named after him. He named the Pacific Ocean. He called it Pacifico, which means peaceful. I wonder if he would change his mind after the way it ended. But can you imagine sailing all the way around the world and then finally making it, and your friends are still looking the other way for you, and then you come back around and surprise them?

I mean, that's a pretty amazing thing. Wait, that's what he did? Well, his people went all the way around the world. Yeah. So they started going one way and then came around the other way. Yeah. It's just, just think about, they've never done that before. Yeah.

You don't even know for sure. So Magellan was trying to do that. Yeah. And then he didn't make it. He almost got all the way, but his men, his crew did. Some of them did make it. Yeah. First crew.

Yeah. They left New York and then came back to California. Like that. Essentially. Yeah. Yeah. Not here, I'm saying, but that's what I'm doing. I'm from America.

So I'm using my, I'm saying, but that's what I'm doing. I'm from America. So I'm using my, I'm using America. Like you left New York and went like east and then come back around and stop. If you went to go travel the world, you would get a boat from New York and then you would land back in California and you go in a circle. Okay. Yeah. Is that not the same thing? Yeah. I mean, he went the other direction but and stop i think

he got right back to the stop to the city he started in but but yeah well that would be i feel like you live in a real thin country yeah i know he's coming in from the other way yeah yeah yeah i mean if you lived if you go you know if you were a real dead end left, right. All right. He's leaving left. And then he comes in right to the same city. Dusty has a flat earther. How do you feel about it? Well, I never claimed that.

I talk about things, but, and people make assumptions about me, but I never claimed that. But all it is, is there's magnetic north and then you just travel east and you just go, you make your way in a circle. If you believe that sort of thing, you would just make your way around in a circle. So you're still going east because there's magnetic north in the center. So north would still be towards the center. And then you would just go east. You would follow your compass compass as you guys say this is compass compass you would follow that east and it would take you in a complete circle

so if so if you don't but so you've heard about it but so if it's flat then what do those people believe all the other planets are uh well there's you know they're stars they're wandering stars because space is not real okay but but how hypothetical but how do you believe how do you believe it's not real if you're looking at it well you just look up at a canopy of stars yeah you're not you know movies has made you believe that there's space out there and no i can see it though you can see a sheet uh with lights coming you believe that you could soar through there in a in a spaceship and ships have soared through there they as they're so called yeah i mean i mean have you seen moon landing footage i mean come on yeah well i've

seen mars landing footage and voyagers sailing out yeah to the outer edges of our solar system there's footage of that well there's yeah there's stuff out there i mean i'll give you that there is some stuff out there and i and i and it is believable i get it i mean it is hard to look at it and go but i'm not saying i believe those things. I'm just saying, this is, I'm taking a point of view here. Yeah. Just trying to have fun. Yeah. I'm not, you know, people love to say, I believe the earth is fine.

I'm just saying, Hey, I'm just pointing out some stuff that's, you know. But hypothetically, if you believe there's maybe what you would say. Yeah. I mean, well, that would be the explanation for traveling circle. And then like, as far as space goes, it's like, you know, people always say, find me a, you know, something of space that's not from NASA, you know? And it's like, well, you'd have to go to the Asia astronauts or the Russian astronauts. Yeah. So, you know, you trust who you want to trust.

You know what I mean? If you trust Russia, I mean, that's on you. You know what I mean? Well, Iussia i mean that's on you you know what i mean well i trust nasa yeah which is not russia right but it's like can you find you know it's like why don't they let us you know just explore space on our own because we don't have the means well i don't mean i don't mean me and you but there's people that do well yeah and jeff bezos elon musk yeah but jeff bezos launched a ship and it went real high and then it came down and they got out and everybody went oh you did it but they didn't really these are the new explorers yeah modern day explorers and they're trying you know what i mean they're putting their good good effort out there you

can only go as high as the net will let you. Richard Branson's the third one, right? They're building spaceships. Yeah, and I hope they do it. I really do. But we already have. We all know that. This is just a bit.

Yeah. Okay. We're just having a good time here. Yeah. I'm having a great time. Did you guys know they just discovered an eighth continent really this just happened wow so there was a guy named abel tasman he was a dutch explorer and he discovered new zealand and tasmania tasmania was named after him um and he'd heard

about this continent that was an eighth continent was down there and he traveled there and all you could find was the islands of New Zealand and Tasmania. Turns out 95% of it was underwater. They just found recently that this continent's underwater. It's called Zealandia. Oh, next to Australia. Does it count if it's underwater? I don't know if-

I think the whole point of a continent is above water. That's just my opinion. Is this Atlantis? Well, some people think it may be what they thought was Atlantis. Oh, that's exciting. But New Zealand is about the only part that's actually sticking out from underwater. But they just mapped this recently. And so I don't know if it's going to go in the textbooks as an eighth continent.

Oh, so if you've been in New Zealand, does that count as a new continent? I guess it does. Congratulations, guys. We did two continents. We did two continents. Nice work. I wish we could have. We've been to the eighth continent.

Whoa, not many people can say that. No, no. Not many people even know about it. That's big time. I think we should uh have voted on the name of this though zealandia yeah i don't like that that's not a fun continent name is it from new zealand yeah it could grow on me well imagine if you're new zealand and then now that's like everybody's just talking about zealandia and you're like all right dude we were

we're actually living here yeah we've been here the whole time. New Zealand, you are out there. When you're there, it feels like you're in a different world. See, this is what I'm saying. Let's put our energy into this. Let's build Underwater City on top of Zealandia. Oh, okay. On top of this land. That's what I'm all about.

Which country gets to build it? I would think New Zealand. I like that. We'll get some funding from around the world. An underwater city. Yeah. Instead of going to space. Yes.

Let's explore the ocean. I agree. We should be living in the ocean before we should be living in space. You're saying that you saw him land on Mars, but yet we can't even explore all the oceans. It's like, let's dig around our own home here. I could. We're trying to venture out. Yeah.

Elon Musk should be putting his money into the bottom. Yeah. Yeah. Richard Branson. Like, let's see what's going on. Because no matter what, we're scared of our land falling apart,

but the water. Right. They're also afraid of the water falling apart. Where's it going to go? They're afraid of the water being polluted. Yeah, but you're... Full of plastic, right? Yeah, but you're not swimming in the water.

You would be in a... A little tube. Dome. Yeah. I like that. You'd be in a tube. Yeah. So it doesn't really matter.

Now, somebody arguing against you could be like, why not just do a dome above ground? Well, that's fine, but you're not creating new land. Oh, new land. I like this. Okay, I'm on board. New land. Yeah.

Yeah, and you just go and walk around. Maybe we have a suit on. Yeah, I like it. Yeah, you just build pressurized. How would you eat? I bet you could grow. I bet you could grow. Yeah.

Yeah, you grow and you build a world down there. Door dash. And then the whole you could grow. Yeah. Yeah. You grow and you build a world down there. Door dash. And then the whole world is underwater. Yeah. Eventually. So the way we started going above water, then we just started heading. Yeah. Like if you're born in one of the underwater cities and you're like, you're like the little mermaid.

You dream of one day going on land. Yeah. Well, that was like Kevin Costner's movie, right? Waterworld? A little bit, but I like that movie, okay. Yeah. People seem to hate it.

I liked it. Yeah, I liked that movie way better than, it got like a 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah. And I thought it was at least a 74.

Yeah, I didn't like that he had like gills behind his ears or whatever, but it was so fun. Well, they would like to, yeah, you would like adapt to that. Yeah. Yeah. You're going to need some AG1. That is true. but uh well they would like to yeah you would like adapt to that yeah yeah you're gonna need

some ag1 that is true our next partner is ag1 all of us are trying to take ag1 every day we all gave ag1 a try because we wanted increased energy and immune system support for our busy lifestyles we 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 in water once a day than to take a bunch of different things. It is the health. Well, yeah. Why don't we just throw our trash in the space? Yeah, we've talked about that on here. We've all said that. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. But you could argue, let's just keep doing it in the ocean and then let's move to space. Right.

If we're already doing so much in the ocean already. Yeah. And it's like, let's just go to space and we just keep dumping it. And the space is a much bigger ocean. Yeah. I guess it's just how much energy it takes to get the trash. Same thing. Can't breathe.

Yeah. Float. Yeah. There's no life up there as far as well as far as we know i mean some people crazy people even think that when they film space things it's happening underwater because the conditions are so similar obviously these people are nuts but yes it is similar in that's how they will practice for space, underwater. Yeah. And that is true.

They will practice underwater. Because, you know, it's not a lot of gravity. You can't breathe. Yeah. So you got to. Yeah, we should do. I started watching The Meg, too. Hey.

That movie is huge in Asia. Yeah. The biggest movie in Asia. You and I saw the first one together oh i loved it is it good yeah it's just fun your complaint about the first one was the the well or shark wasn't big enough i think it could have been bigger i think they can always be bigger i think i heard that movie was funded by the Chinese government. Meg? Yeah. I could see that for sure. Yeah. That's why they were pushing it so hard.

Oh, you can totally see that. The second one probably too. I like that you say that. You started the second one. Like it's like an epic adventure. Yeah. I haven't gotten through it. I did half and then I was tired. But it's, yeah, it's fun.

It's like a modern day Jaws. I mean, extreme version. We watched Jaws recently. And that's like, it's the extreme version. It's just a big shark. It's just fun to think about those. Is this Jason Statham? Yeah. In those movies?

Yeah. And he fights him and gets his family back. Oh, I love that. I like Jason Statham so much. Yeah. He's the best. He does it. He he fights him and gets his family back. Oh, I love that. I like Jason Statham so much. Yeah. He's the best. He does it. He just fights him and kicks the sharks.

Does he kick the sharks with his foot? Maybe. I would think so. I think so. It's almost a waste if Jason Statham's not kicking. That's so perfect. I watched one movie with Jason Statham that wasn't, like I was hoping it'd be like the kicking and it wasn't.

And that's that was a tough one. The movie Snatch, you know, he was in that as not a fighting role. Yeah. And that movie was about fighting. Yeah. But he was good in that. He was great. Yeah.

But another one like it was. Yeah. You just want him to be. He's just super fun. Is that the one where Brad Pitt was the fighter? Yeah. Oh, that was my favorite Brad Pitt movie. It's such a good movie.

How's Liam Neeson, Brad Pitt's great. Yeah. How's Liam Neeson? He still does those fighting scenes. Yeah. You can do them. It's pretty crazy. You can do them like even the Equalizer 3 is out.

Oh, did you see how old is Liam Neeson? Yeah. 71. It's time for him to pass the torch though. Who's the next great actor that's going to turn action so i was uh that what needs to be there there are some good guys uh but they need to click like uh matt damon matt damon with the born like he can be uh but i just don't know if they want to do it uh When did he start being an action star like that?

I think it was Taken or Batman. It was after Love Actually, 2001. The first Batman, Batman Begins. All the information. Oh, Star Wars too. The first, one of the Star Wars prequels, he was a bit of an action guy. But I mean, so Taken was the first. Taken was what?

So how old was he when he did Taken? He was the first. Taken was what? So how old was he when he did Taken? He was probably 50. If it was around 2005, then he'd be 53. Yeah. 56. So you were wrong, Joe. It's embarrassing. We invented his career as an action star.

So I could still be an action star. Because I was in Sprung, but I didn't really. Yes. You played a guy that would be in action because you were a serial killer so yeah if greg does a spinoff have you done any stage fighting classes no no but i still could i mean yeah not too late i don't think baits is not one That you're gonna Really know He's behind it But he's behind it Like

The usual suspects I'm gonna be the guy At the end Oh yeah Kaiser Sosa Yeah He's the Kaiser Sosa He's the true brains

Behind this podcast And Nate Lane I think that's a given Yeah Yeah He is He's the one that puts All this together

Wow that'd be cool If you turn out to be The real brains behind it Liam Neeson though He is the I mean one that puts all this together Wow that'd be cool if you turn out to be the real brains behind it Liam Neeson though He is the real, I mean he puts all this stuff together Liam Neeson Yeah I'm the talent I'd never heard of Liam Neeson Until

Schindler's List And he must have been in his 40s then Yeah I think he was like a great stage actor In his 20s and 30s. It's weird to discover Liam Neeson and Taken and then go watch the movie Love Actually. I'm like, what's going on here? You know what I mean? Just crying with a little boy.

Yeah, I'm like, what? I don't know if I could do that. His scene in that Ricky Gervais Steve Merchant show where he wants to become a comedian. Oh, so great. The improv scene? Yeah. Yeah. It's great.

I don't know. Yeah, it's very funny. Well, anyways, there's some... They are searching the sea. There's people. James Cameron is doing a lot of stuff to. Yeah, they just went down there. That one thing went real bad for those guys. Yeah. That went down.

Oh, yeah. Meg and Meg too, they're searching the bottom of the sea. Oh, yeah. Because there's creatures probably down there we don't even know about. Yeah. One guy on some National Geographic thing, he was talking about, they went so deep and it looked like there was a beach underwater and they tried to go down and the water was so, like so much salt content, whatever you would say there was so thick, they couldn't go down further. They were bouncing, but it was like there were shells and stuff.

And it was like this water was running up on the beach. I saw that on something. TikTok? Yeah, but it was from a National Geographic type thing. on the beach. Really? I saw that on something. TikTok? Yeah, but it was from a National Geographic type thing. So it's just wild what's down there. Yeah. That's why I'm saying, like, let's do the ocean.

Yeah. It was from one of your propaganda channels. Yeah, so you can believe it. So you can believe. Yeah. Okay. Great. Thank you. I joke,

I just didn't mean. National Geographic, though, if you were a conspiracy, you'd be like, you know, this is right up your alley. Right.

You believe everything they say. I do? Yeah. Usually Aaron, with his Notre Dame degree, is the guy, but you filling in for him as a Davidson alumni

is the educated one. I've heard him on this podcast. He's definitely smarter than me. He knows a lot of facts yeah i was a lot of stuff though i'm i mean i i've just surprised myself everything i've said yeah so you really come i think there's gonna be a lot of fact checkers listening that are like what joe said was a little bit off there yeah i suspect i could see that well hopefully our back and forth will deflect from any of that and it'll all come back on me. Have you been getting some flack for saying you don't believe in space?

Yeah, but I'm not saying I don't believe it. Just double down on it again. We're just having, it was just being silly and fun. I like to talk about it. I think it's fun, but people, some people do not find it to be fun. Yeah. The funny thing is the way they defend Dusty, because they'll be like, ah, this guy, you know, some people want to dump Dusty. And then people defend him. Very few people, by the way.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Very few people. The super pro science crowd or something? No, I wouldn't even call them that. But then everyone will come to Dusty's defense. But then they'll be like, look, I find his viewpoints crazy too,

but we really love Dusty. And we want to, you know, it's so funny how they always say, I think it's wild myself, but you know, he's a fun guy. Yeah.

I mean, isn't it boring if we all believe the same thing? If we all believe the same thing. I believe that. I think it's boring. If we all believe the same thing, we'd be brainwashed. Yeah.

We got to spice it up a bit. Your Patrice O'Neill thing just came up again on a podcast. Really? Somebody brought it up. I forgot whose it was, but they told the story about Patrice O'Neill and you and dinosaurs. Yeah. And a few people have sent it and say, hey, Nate just got mentioned again. That story.

Yeah. Where was it? I'll find out. I forgot. All right. Yeah. Is that it? Yeah. Yeah out. I forgot. All right. Yeah. Is that it? Yeah.
