Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. Good night. It's the public figures podcast. Happy to have you here. Sit back in your chair. Put your feet up. Enjoy the next four and a half hours of your favorite podcast, which comes out every Wednesday. I'm Aaron Weber, one of the co-hosts alongside my good friends, my compatriots, my fellow comedians, Nashville's finest. Brian Bates. Hello. With a stern handshake at the table. To my left is Dust. Sle. Okay. All right. We're having a good time. Professional comedian, multiple Netflix specials catch them on tour all over the place. And me and Brian do comedy as well.

Hey, you know what? What's that? If you don't mind since you just said that, if you're watching this, if you're watching this right now, I just put my first Netflix special Working Man. I leased it to Netflix for two years. I got it back. Now, as of today, it's on YouTube for you to watch for absolutely nothing. Go watch it, share it with one friend of yours. Just tell one friend about it. That doesn't know about it. That doesn't know about it.

I don't think I have any friends who don't know about it. Yeah. I appreciate it. All my friends are in this room right now. Yeah. But sorry, I don't mean to steal your momentum. I felt like you had a great intro going, but you did. I didn't tell you to mention the Netflix, and you said it.

So I thought, this seems like a good time. Well, it's not a Netflix special anymore. It's accessible to the people, man. It's on YouTube. Go check it out. It's on Dusty Slay's YouTube channel. Just a couple clicks from where you are right now, probably. And that being said, though, wet heat is still available.

So don't cancel your Netflix subscription yet. There's still another Dusty special on there and a half hour, if I'm not mistaken. That's true. And me and Brian do stuff as well. But excited that. Brian has a special on the way. Oh, that's right. Any updates on that?

It's on the way. Okay. So no. All right. I'm sorry. I won't interrupt you. That's all right. We're excited. And my special is on this YouTube channel. I believe in what Nate Land is doing. And you don't have to leave to go see it. Just stay here. If you're subscribed to this channel, you'll see it. That's what I'm talking on your feed. Netflix offered me. And I'm like, no thank you. Well, good. It's about time you put your foot down. Yeah. You know, somebody does. Yeah, I heard about that conversation. Just, you know, it's just people talking in the industry. Do you hear you were Brian Bates told Ted Sarandos? Yeah, I was going to think of his name. You're like that video going around YouTube or Instagram.

Now that guy goes, I turned it down. Oh, man, that's one of my favorite videos. If you haven't seen it, it's a rap. I wish I knew the rapper's name. I think he's a successful rapper. But he tells one of the most egregious lies in the history of podcasting. He claims that he got offered a scholarship to be in a band in college, but turned it down to do rap. And when pressed for details about the scholarship, he goes, couldn't remember.

It was a, it's a big college, though. Yeah. They offered me 15 million. 10, 15 million, 5 million, something like that. And the guy goes, they offered you $5 million to be in a band. He goes, I turned it now. And some comments that you would say, said you could see these ideas popping in his mind as he's saying. He goes, it was a scholarship like, you had to go to school for this decade.

Yeah. So it's none of it makes any sense. But it's an all-time great clip. Go and check that out. And that's Brian. That's what Brian does. I turned them down. I turned it down.

They offered me like $15 million, $10 million, something like that, $5 million, something like that. That's what they offered you, right? Yeah. How would you not remember who was $15 million or $5 million? I was just so younger. I was just so younger. Like, I didn't know what it was.

That's good stuff. Well, we're recording this, as we always do. a couple days before it releases here. It is Memorial Day here on Monday. So we got a shell crew here, just a few guys here in the room holding it down for us. What's going on? Everybody, y'all doing okay?

Yeah, same amount of guys as always, but okay. Well, there's usually six people sitting in here not paying attention, and they're not here this week. So I was just excited. We got three people actually engaged. Well, I'm excited to be here on Memorial Day. Thank you, Dusty. We just have a great time with my family.

And I love, but all these people in entertainment, one, that'll go, you get every Monday off. I mean, that's all entertainment. Everybody in entertainment, they're just off work all the time. Well, I was over Nate's house and my daughter was there and she wanted to go swimming in the pool. And I said, honey, we don't have time because Dusty wants to work on Memorial Day. Yeah. She cried. It was also raining.

But yeah. Yeah. Well, it's raining. It's not very warm. But we're happy to be here. I can't think of another place on earth. I'd rather be next to you two guys here at the table. Nateland Studios here in Nashville.

This is also the thing about a day off, like Memorial Day. When I worked in the pesticide industry and I would get memorial. The heartbeat of America. Yeah. I would get Memorial Day off and it meant I still got paid for that day. Yeah, yeah. It was a paid. It was a paid vacation.

But if we don't do the podcast today, we just do two another day. Right. But we, yeah. So you don't really get any time off. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. I mean, that's true. I mean, you're just shifting the time. Yeah, you're not getting any off. You're kicking the can down the road, as they like to.

Well, unfortunately, yeah, Memorial Day fell on a week after your birthday. But that's all right. We hope you had a good Memorial Day celebrating everybody out there, hot dogs, hamburgas, whatever you got into. Do you know what Memorial Day is for? Memorial Day is for in memoriam of people who died in the armed forces. Is that true, Dusty? Probably. And listen, I mean no disrespect to anybody on Memorial Day, but other people sacrifice for us. Why do we get the day off?

Oh, they get the day off too. Yeah. They get the day off. We work. You're the only person in America fighting for less holidays. Yeah. I mean, I think we should have a lot less holidays. I know you.

to get off work every other day out here. You're trying to go to the bank these days. They're like, we're close. We're close. And they go, it's Thanksgiving, sir. We get one day off a year to spend with our family. He's like, come on. Some thanks for me, uh?

The dump, the city dump, Nashville City dump. You can't, you know, they're close all the time. What a tragedy. I go, why just leave the trash can open? How often are you going to the dump? Well, not very often because I never. I never know when they'll be open. Or sometimes they go the bins full.

Oh, the bin. I go the bin. Don't you have a pile somewhere? Get another bin. Yeah, come on. Dump that out at the next dump. Yeah. To get to another dump.

I brought a, I have my whole truck loaded down. The lady goes, Ben's full. I go. Was there another dump you can go to? I got, no. I go, let me. I go, let me try to get it in there. She was upset, but she let me try.

And guess what? I got it in there. We were talking earlier about, holidays to get rid of. Okay. He said, first of all, Martin Luther King Day, that'd be gone. He said,

acts that. That's the only one he feels strongly about. No, that's not true. Now, I'm joking about that. Just Christmas. Yeah. I'm not against people having a day off. Okay.

Especially if, you know, if you work hard, you've got a salary position, you get an extra day. I know that when I sold pesticides, I loved at getting that day off. Of course. But what did I want to do? I just wanted to drink and eat hot dogs, you know?

I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, I guess, but I just want to drink and eat hot and go, oh. So you should only have a day off if you run a marathon and read a book? I don't know, maybe read a book. I don't know about running a marathon, but, you know. Which one would you be more likely to do? Read a book. Yeah, me too. Reading a book right now.

Both pretty unlikely for me. It feels good to be reading a book. What is it? I don't even know, but I'm reading it. I got it at my nightstand and I just read a little bit before every night. You sound like the guy? And I'm just always in the middle of a book. Well, it is a book I don't want to talk about on the podcast.

Oh, okay. I see. I read children's books a lot. Yeah. And I don't know how to pronounce this first name. Raul Dahl. He wrote like James and the Giant Peach and Matilda and Charlie in the Chocolate. Charlie in the Chocolate Factory and Fantastic Mr. Fox, which all of those were movies.

And I read Fantastic Mr. Fox the other day. It's not very long. And I really, I was like, this is fun. Yeah, it could be nice, right? Reading is nice. Yeah, it's good. But, you know, I could read that in one sitting. The problem is, I feel like reading, and I pick it up and I start reading. I go, I could get into this.

But then the next day, I don't feel like it. And then I don't feel like it for months. And then it's tough to pick up where you left off. You know, I got to start the whole book over now. I started White Fang one time, and I read quite a bit of it. White Fang, Jack London? Yeah. Okay.

I said, I read quite a bit of it. And then I just stopped. And never got back into it. White Fang. Wow, 1906. Yeah. That book came out. I remember that.

Call of the Wild. And then another big one he had or something? Anyway. Yeah. The Call of the Wild. wild by Jacqueline. Anyway, this is the kind of, I would say the banter, the back and forth, the rapport that we have. It's a pretty good illustration. Let's clip that and use it as a trailer for the last 10 minutes. Dusty, what book you think he's read?

Probably some book about how mathematics in society is destroying the societal building blocks of culture. There's a lot of good words in there. I don't really know if I know what you mean. Yeah, there's a lot of good buzzwords in that for sure. But my wife is always reading a book. She's never not in the middle of a book. And she makes fun of me for it.

And I have to go, I think overall I've still read more books than you my entire life. Wow. I still, if we were to add it all up. And she really reads them. Nonstop. I thought she just always got to put on Instagram. No, man. She reads the books.

But anyway, I got to catch back up. So I'm trying. I'm trying to get into it. It's Harry Potter. I can tell them. I do the audio books for that. Yeah. I, you remember that time I discovered that math thing?

I do remember. We talked about that on here? That's pretty fun. I saw another guy talking. I didn't discover this one. We talked about it on Nate Land, not on here. Okay. That's true.

That is true. Our old podcast. That's right. But I, um, I saw another one online the other day that I thought was pretty interesting. It was about nines. Okay. I thought that's what yours was. Now, mine was about, I don't know, I don't want to go to back into mine again, but,

but this one is like, like, say, like take the teens, take all the teens. 11, 12, 13. Yeah, let's start with 13. Okay. You add one and three, and that's four, right? And then the one and three makes a 13. So you subtract four from 13, and you get nine. All the teens are like that.

It always comes out to nine if you do that. And then when you get to like the 20s, you would say, say 23. You do two plus three is five. And then five minus 23 is 18. 18, one plus eight is nine. It always comes to nine. That's cool. Well, there's a riddle.

I think we've shared on this podcast. And it's because of that that it works. Do you remember that? Which one did I do it? I had heard it. And I think you told it on here about the, pick an animal that starts with. Yeah. And then a country that starts.

That's right. And I think it only works because of that, what he just said. That principle right there. Well, what is the use of that? I don't know if there's a use, but I just think it's people just kind of being blown away by mathematical anomalies like that.

Yeah. I like it. I feel like when I bring up stuff like that, it gets trash for what's the point of even knowing that. But that seems less useful than what I think you're thinking about the old podcast. Maybe a little bit. Maybe a little bit.

I think you are too, but I think he might have had a sidekick over there that was agreeing with. Oh, of course. I saw, here's the kind of science I've been into lately. I've been reading, you know that if you, the less you wash your dishes before you put them in the dishwasher, the cleaner they get. Wow. So you can actually overclean your dishes. and the dishwasher won't clean them as much. You think maybe it's like you wash the dirt.

Like, like, if you like, you can wash a stain into a shirt. No, it has nothing to do with the dishes themselves. And you say reading, you mean you watch a TikTok video? 100%. Yeah, I'm not reading a book about dishwasher. Okay. So that's not the book. That's not the book.

Cross out that topic. We'll work our way down eventually. No, it's a lot of these dishwashers has something called a turbidity sense. sensor that will adjust kind of the flow of the water depending on the feedback that it gets. So if you scrub off too much food, then it will think that the plates are cleaner than they actually are. So you should rinse off like food and excess things. Plumbers all over this country need to be sending you money right now.

Because people are going to be putting full bowls of oatmeal. No, I mean, don't do that. But there's an instinct to like, let me just clean this. And it's basically clean and then you put it in the dishwasher. Yeah. I'm against that. Okay. Yeah.

But that blew my mind. Yeah. I also saw another thing about how to get in your car when it's hot out. I watch this woman before you. Let's clip this. Now, the instinct, let's clip this. Hold on. Here's something fun that I learned.

If you go to your car and it's hot out, the instinct is to just blast the AC right away. That's not what I do. That's not what I do either. What do you do? I get it. and roll all the windows down. Okay. Here's what you should do.

Okay. And there's science behind this. Okay. You open your trunk or your back window and then you take the driver door and you open and close it like a fan and you pump the hot air out of the car. The way physics works, if you have that back door open and then you pump the door, all that hot air is going to go out the back of the car and then you turn on the AC. I think if you... It's not going to be cool, but it takes the edge off. I think if you do that, you're so sweaty by the time you get in, you go, well, this feels pretty good.

But you know what I mean? I'm not talking about a normal hot day. I'm talking about where you open up the car and you're like, geez, there's like a different climate in here. Yeah. You got to leave my dog in here? Exactly. And you've got to pump it out with the door. Try that next time.

Next time you're... It's hot out. Open up the trunk, pump it out with the door. Honey, I know we're late, but pump that truck. No, I'm talking 15 seconds. Okay. Just pump it out. No, I like that.

Especially if we have a hatchback. Oh, hatchback's perfect for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can see with the hatchback, but I just have a regular trunk. Just open the, oh, or like a sedan. Yeah. Might not work for a sedan. You got to fold the seats down.

There's got to be somewhere for that. Here's what you do. Take apart your car. I do. I always. get in, roll all the windows down, and let that kind of, let the hot air out, as they say. But I'm saying you can, you can expedite that if you pump it out with the door. Yeah.

With the door. Yeah. It wouldn't work with his truck, though, would it? I got a back. Can you open that back window? Oh, yeah. Pump it out, man. I can pump it out.

Get it out of there, dude. But I have to crank the truck just to open the windows. It's not, oh, it's not a main new window. Turn the air conditioner off. Okay. Yeah. Well, I'd like to see you try it. Next time it's hot out.

Try some of this. I'll pump it. And report. I appreciate that. I just want to see you out in public. You look a little insane. I'll do the video. But it works.

I'm just pumping this hot air out. Also, if you hold a key fob up to your chin that extends the range. Wow. By a pretty significant amount. I don't like the idea that my brain is being used as a bit of a receiver. It's not your brain. It's a skull. It's your skulls being used as an antenna.

and it's extending the signal. I think that's what happens with the wireless headphones. If you use two, it's all a mess right there. The one connects. I read a thing, actually read it, not a TikTok this weekend about how Wi-Fi, you can map out somebody's house in 3D using Wi-Fi. Yeah. So it's all, we're all done anyway. That's why, you know, I stop.

You might as well hold your keys up to your chin. But I used to cut my Wi-Fi off every night when I went to bed. Did you really? Yeah. I didn't stop doing it because I don't believe. in it. I just, they, you know, they wore me down. Yeah. I'm exhausted with it. Yeah. Wi-Fi? Cutting it off and then cutting it on. Oh, okay. And what is it people do with your Wi-Fi?

Well, they fry, you know, they kill you. And the, my, I had, I ordered, I ordered a Wi-Fi extender from the company that I get my Wi-Fi from. And they go, oh, yeah, everything's fine. The guy's installing, and I go, how, can I cut this wireless off? And, just use it as a regular router, you know, stuff like that. They all think you're insane. Yeah. On the box that they gave me, it was like, this may cause cancer. And I go, okay, so I'm crazy.

Yeah. But you're telling me, this is bad guys. They're just covering their bases, dude. But the signal, imagine just a signal sent in every direction from your router, right? Mm-hmm. You can detect where you get signals back from that frequency or whatever the, whatever it is. And you can map out everything in its range and perfect 3D. How a bat or how the daredevil sees.

Does that help? I mean, not really, but it's the problems on my year. Do you remember the end of Batman when Morgan Freeman goes? Oh, yeah. It's basically that. And you have one of those devices in your house right now. that was the dark night that's right

the dark night anyway where were you this weekend Brian you want to get into that we got a couple minutes here I like though when this stuff comes up what's that the way you just talked about

Wi-Fi because people will get into thinking oh you think of Wi-Fi is a conspiracy huh and it's like no but there are stuff that can be done with it

and it's probably bad for us all yeah way to go Aaron feeling now he's a partner in crime over here. Five seconds ago, Brian didn't even get what you were saying. Now suddenly he's like, yeah, this is ridiculous. That's kind of why I lost interest.

I can tell it's quacks talking about it. Brian's like, whatever, just kill me and I don't care. Just do whatever. The box says may cause cancer, which Dusty already agrees with. So he agrees with what, if he didn't agree with the premise, he'd be like, ah, they're trying to trick me.

They're trying to tell me something. Interesting. Well, of course. Of course. I would be. But the fact that they're admitting it, I go, well, yeah. Because I already believe this. So whether they say it or not doesn't change me. But the fact that they do say it, I go, well, yeah, that's confirmation. So you believe them when they say, when they issue a warning. I believe that their product is bad for your health. Yes. And so whether they say it's bad or say it's not bad, I still believe it's bad. Oh, okay. It's got nothing to do with me being like, now I believe you. It's just like, thanks for admitting it. Yeah.

You respect their honesty. Yeah. Yeah. I appreciate it. And I didn't set the extender up, by the way. Good for you, man. Take that Comcast. Well, I'm not saying the name of the...

Take that Xfinity, AT&T. I'm not saying the name. TDS. Name about it. Guys, you know, lately. I've been more intentional about what I wear day to day. I've noticed that. You commented on it.

I was just saying that today. Yeah. You weren't here, but we were talking about you. I lean into pieces that feel easy, comfortable, and still put together. Right. Easy like Sunday morning. That's right. It just makes getting dressed simpler.

Quince has been my go-to. Oh, yeah. The fabrics feel elevated. The fits are clean. And everything just works without needing to overthink it. Quince has all the wardrobe staples for spring. Think 100%. European linen shorts and shirts from $34.

I love lemon so much. I'm 100% clothing guy, and linen is great. Clean 100% Pima Cotton T's with a softness that has to be felt. Love cotton. Their pants also hit the same balance, relax and comfortable, but still polished enough to wear pretty much anywhere. That's what you want. I recently bought one of their linen shirts.

It's very comfortable, and the quality of it is a bit of. Amazing. Love linen. When I received it, it was pleasantly, I was pleasantly surprised because it did not cost what other high-end brands cost, but it felt better than the other high-end brands. Wow. So, refresh your every day with luxury you'll actually use. Head to quince.com slash Nate for free shipping on your orders and 365 day returns. Wow.

Out west, wild, wild dates. Colorado. Yeah, I was in Colorado. Wednesday and Thursday. Wednesday, I was in Denver. Thursday, I was in Greeley, Colorado. I've been to Greeley. Yeah?

Yeah. It's a great town. Yeah, I like it. Yeah. It smells like calmere. Yeah, they don't like it to bring it up, though, so I was told. Well, I brought it up on stage. Okay.

Yeah. And what I said was, which is true, I googled, does Greeley, and then Google finished the rest of the sentence, smell like cow material. So I'm like, you don't really have to click on to find the answer when that's the first thing that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it does Greeley. Smell is the first one. Second one is have an airport.

Third is smell bad. Yeah. But Greeley was a great town. Denver crowd was kind of small, but it's downtown Denver. I love Denver, too. It's tough. My opener said she had to pay $50 to park. And I was only paying her 25, so not a good night for her.

That's a joke about that. But, I mean, she did say she paid $50 to park. Yeah. 50 bucks. I know. So who, I mean, I'm not Nate Bargatsy here. Nobody wants to pay 50 bucks just to part. parked a C.B. Not even the actual show, which was 10.

Shame on Greeley for having anywhere that charges $50. No, no, that was Denver. Oh, shame on Denver. Yeah, Greeley, you can park wherever you want. Okay. Plenty of cow pastures to park in. Yeah. And then I drove over... That's based off the manure conversation. That's right. Yeah, they have like a big meat processing plant. Yeah, I love Greeley. Yeah, it was great. Uh, shout off to Stephanie McHugh, my opener. And then, uh... well you always mention your openers just because it's a woman you laugh yeah just because you remember her name right away

it's a difference between you and doesn't well that is true then I drove over to Casper Wyoming as I've said many times my first time ever in Wyoming I loved it beautiful drive loved the wide open spaces it is a beautiful drive out there isn't it man mountains did you get out and you walk around

you know I didn't breathe in the air I did I did I did did. It was like, it was wide open, but then I'd see mountains in the distance. I didn't really go through any mountains. Wide open spaces. You know that song? I do know. By the chicks. Yeah. But then, yeah, Casper's great. I mean, my opener, shout out to Chad Sheen, drove me up into the mountains. Snow-covered mountains. That's so cool. Walked around the snow. Snow-kept mountains out there. Does Casper, Wyoming have anything to do with Casper, the ghost? Is there any relation? I don't think so.

What about the mattress? I don't even know the mattress. Casper, the mattress. Were Helix people on this podcast? Yeah. So I don't know a lot about Casper. The, you know, when I was in Wyoming, I went to, I forget where I was at. I did kind of a corporate event on the southeastern part of Wyoming.

And I drove from Utah, Salt Lake City and drove across and rented a car. And then I, in order to save a little money, you know, I returned. the car a day early and then I got a ride to the airport the next day. But I had to return the car to the airport. And when I took the car to the airport, there was no Uber, no lift. I could not get out of the airport once I dropped the rental car off. So I waited for a cab. I called a cab and waited for a long time for the cab. And finally they came. And the lady was from North Carolina. And she's like, I love it here, but I just missed the trees. There's no trees. And where we were at, there were no trees.

But then I got back to my hotel and I was like, there's trees everywhere. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just a lady talking about. Not at the airport. Yeah. Yeah, these small airports, when you drop off a rental car, it's wild because it's just so like yesterday, I dropped off my rental car at the Casper Airport, really small. And there is nobody to greet you, you know, on a Sunday.

They just say, write down your mileage on this posted note. That's crazy. Put it in this box with your key. And you just got to trust that, you know, that they're trustworthy. There's just not enough volume going through those that they can trust people. They're usually very nice. I did that in Butte, Montana. I actually, I messed up big time in the morning.

I was late getting to the airport, and then I forgot to put gas in my rental car when I got there. And then there was no one to talk to. Yeah. So I just had to drop it off without gas in it. I've done a couple times. You can just do that, you know? Yeah. I called them.

Well, they'll charge you for it, right? Yeah, but I'm saying sometimes you're like, I don't, whatever. Yeah. But I called them and I wanted to find out what it was going to cost, you know, and it took them a couple of days to get back to me. And they call and they go, well, cost us about 40 bucks, fill it up. So about 40 bucks. And I go, oh, okay.

I mean, I thought they would be like, yep, 300 bucks. Yeah, it was $40. So a multiplier of four, it's going to be $160. And they were like, yeah, just, yeah, we filled it up. So that's what it'll cost. Wow. I go, wow, that's very nice. But I always love Butte, Montana.

I want to share this story with you guys. Okay. In Greeley, the booker said, hey, unfortunately, the hotel we always use is filled up. So you mind if I put you in a bed and breakfast? I don't like bed and breakfasts. Yeah, but you're the guy. Well, I am Mr. Breakfast. Yeah.

That's true. But I don't like Airbnb's. I don't like, I just want a hotel. Interesting. Every time I go to Airbnb, there's something. Something happens. There's something with getting the key, the code. Yep.

the Wi-Fi, something's not right. And I just want a hotel and I want someone at the front desk if there is a problem. I get to this Airbnb and there's an old man out there. When I say old, he's like 70. Okay. So, objectively old. Yeah. He's about Seabby.

I'm not saying, he's saying, sir, to you. Yeah. And he's out there taking a picture of an RV. He's like going around and taking a picture with, I don't know what he's doing. I don't know if it's his RV or just someone's RV he's a fan of or whatever. And I get my back. bag out of my trunk and he goes, can I help you take your bags in? Young fella. And I said, no, I got it. I'm good. I said, do you work here? He's like, no, but I'm staying here. And he said,

have you checked in yet? And I'm like, no. And he said, come on, I'll show you in. He's like, go through the bag door. He said, man, this place is so nice. And he said, my daughter bought it for me. I don't even know how much it costs, but it is so nice. And he said, how much is yours? And I said, I don't know. Someone bought it for me too. Your daughter bought it for me too. so then we get to the back door and he's pulling on it and he can't get it I said well they emailed me

there's a code and he's like oh yeah yeah that's right he's like what's the code so now I'm thinking wait a second is this guy even staying here or is he like some serial killer

does he seem with it or is something a little off he seems like for a 70 year old he seems with it I mean he seems like a guy who probably drives cross country look like a former trucker

that's what I would have describing. And I mean, I would give any, I mean, people, it's amazing I'm still alive, just go along, I'd hurt someone's feelings. So I give him the code. We go in, he's like, what, what's your room number? And I tell him, he's like, oh, let me show you, it's up here. So we walk up stage. What are you doing? We got to have a talk after this podcast. I mean, it's not like it's a giant hotel. Right. It's, he could just stand there and watch me, go to it. It's not like I'm going to keep some secret from it. Yeah.

There's like 10 rooms. She definitely not. So then we go up there and he's like, oh, yours's right there. I'm still thinking this guy may not even be staying here. He might just come in to kill people. But he goes to his room. He goes, I'm right here. My name's so-and-so.

If you need anything, let me know. I'm like, okay, thanks. I'm thinking, I will never ever talk to you again. I know. He goes to his room. I start pushing the keypad to get the walk box to get my key out. It won't work. It will not work. I keep trying and I keep trying. I'm like, what is wrong with this thing?

This other old man shows up, check in his room. I'm like, I can't get my lockbox. He's like, you got to push it. You got to, you know, he's, he's whatever. He goes in his room. I can't get in. There's nobody at the front desk. I finally go over to old man number one. It turns out of duty. I'm like, I can't get my lockbox open. You know, he comes out. He turns his flashlight on his phone. None of us can see. You know, he's shining it on it on the thing. It's one of those old combination. Oh, sure. Where you can barely see the numbers.

He gets that exact old knife out of his pocket, and he's trying to pry it open. Old man, too, comes out of his room. He's like, y'all got it yet. And we're like, no, not yet. So he comes out. He tries to help. He's trying to do it.

They're both pulling on it. I'm like, this is my worst nightmare. Is this just like an old man camp that they should do? They're all watching from a camera somewhere. That's what I'm seeing old men try to get in this room. I finally like, I got to. phone number. Let me just call them. And he's like, no, no, no, no, let me try this. Like, you know, oh man, they want to, they want to make it work. They don't want anyone's help,

unlike me who just wants to. In the process, they're all learning your combination of your room. I mean, I gave it to them so many times. None of us could really see the numbers. Yeah. Finally, they give up and they're like, that ain't the number call. And I call and I'm like, hey, I've been trying. And the guy goes, oh, sorry, I gave you the wrong number. he goes, because they gave me 3036. It's 5.036. We had to change it recently. He goes, hey, by the way, your locks real cut up. I think somebody's been trying to break in.

All right. So then I try that. It opens immediately. Doors open. Good. And then that old guy goes, hey, can I see your room? See how the layout is your room? Oh, gosh. And I'm like, I sure. So he comes in and he looks around and he's like, oh, it's pretty nice in here. He's like, I kind of like my layout better. Let me see how your sheets feel, Ryan.

Then he goes, come look at my rooms. See how it is. So now I'm thinking I'm definitely going to get murdered, but I want to be nice. So I'm like, you know, I'll do it. So I'll go over to his room. How different could the rooms be at this point? He's just an old man that was lonely. And he's like, check this out.

You know, come look at my room. I'm like, oh, man, it's pretty nice. I'm like, okay, I'm going to go now. And he goes, wait, wait, wait, let me give me one more thing. And then he takes a bag of Wother's originals and just dumps a bunch in my hand. what he didn't know is I already had my own bag he's like these are great I was like I know they are because I have some

over there in my room but that's why I don't like staying there and then that night after the show I get back to the Airbnb the coat outside on the door won't work and I keep doing I keep doing I finally have to call again and the guy's like yeah I think the battery's getting low on the keypad so well yeah we come out of it once you fix that if you knew that that was happening on a different door

but that's why I just want a hotel. Every now and then you get an Airbnb that works flawlessly, but they are few and far between, man. There's always something like that going down. I don't like one where there's other people in the house. Yeah, that are around. That's kind of the whole appeal of it to me is I have my own place. You mean people you don't know.

Yeah, yeah, strangers. Yeah. Yeah. And the Airbnb, I think they're going down a little bit because of some things. that you and I both joked about. Our jokes are different, and I don't do mine now. But we've joked about the amount of things they want you to do to check out. It's crazy.

It's like, it's like. But it's like. Every comics had that joke. Go ahead. Sorry. Well, you can, you know, this is what I thought the other day about jokes. It's like, at this point, we've all, we've talked about everything. Nothing's new under the sun.

We shouldn't make, I think, all new. music should be halted. We don't make new music anymore. Everybody, no more. You're making an album right now. No more new, no, but that's just hobby. No more new music. We're not putting it out. Okay. Especially love songs. They're all done. They're all done. Okay. Movies? I think we can all stop all movies. After the breadwinner. By the way, breadwinners. Well, it's already been made. If it's been made, put it out. But after that. We got enough movies. We got enough music. I think. think there's still room for comedy.

Conveniently, yeah. But a lot of comics should be fired and just, but I think at this point, if you have a topic that you're talking about, you've got to assume that out here in the world of comedy, 18 other people have already joked

about it. And you just got to be unique. That's why it's, I think it's why it's got to be a story or like you dealing with it instead of just like abstractly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it's like that is the problem with Airbnb.

And also sometimes the checkouts, I mean, it's a hard checkout. Like I got, you know, I stay at this one hotel brand Marriott and I'm like highest status now because I stay at the same one. I've heard of it. And so now I can get late checkout every time if I want. That's nice. Sometimes up to 4 p.m. Late checkout. Yeah.

Wow. That's a late check-in for the next time. I know. But the last Airbnb S date out is in Florida. Now, they had already told me we're packed this weekend. So we got to turn and burn here. But I didn't even think about it. I'm just hanging out, having coffee.

My buddy Vince, he's by the pool. Somebody knocks on the door. I go, who's this? I open it. It's the cleaning crew. Yeah. And I have to leave right now. You got to pack up, brother.

And I was like, oh, geez, I don't like that. Hotel would never do that to me. Did you just leave Vince? Yeah. Yeah, I did. See you. He came back. You're gone.

He's still there. That's wild. Why do you guys like Airbnb's? I like having, if I got a buddy with me, I like having a living room. You know, like Jay Flake sometimes he'll bring his Xbox and we'll set that up and we'll play in the living room. He's about to say ex-wife. As far as I know, Jay Flake does not have an X-wife. And I don't know what benefit to having a living room that would be.

What do you mean? A shared space. If you brought his ex-wife. That's where I would have to sleep. Chime is finally changing the way people bank. It's fee-free, smarter banking built for real people.

Amazing that there's a podcast that is funny from start to finish, including the ad reads. Thanks for bringing the laughs to us common folks and boars.

Well, appreciate that Z-Buggy. I want to be honest, the name Z-Buggy did not sound like someone that would really appreciate this podcast from start to finish and the ad reads, and I appreciate it. It sounds like someone's going to insult us, doesn't it? Z Boogie? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

There might be an insult somewhere in that comment that we didn't catch. Probably. Yeah. I bet Z Boogie's riding a dirt road getting hammered, though, probably right now. That's what I would think. He's throwing beers out of the driver's side. Oh, Z Boogie! Landin in the back.

I love that. Dawson Rodriguez. I love Brian insulting us. I grow up. It's slowly becoming my favorite part of the show. Also, shout out to Aaron for the. plebes reference. What a stupid way to spell Dawson?

I don't know if plebs is a reference so much as just a word. But that's true. Was plebs a reference to something? No, Dawson's probably just dumb. Yeah, Dawson, Dawson with an A, D-A-W-D-A-W-D-A-Rodriguez. Dawson-Rodriguez, also you don't expect to see the game. No, you don't think Rodriguez is coming. No.

It comes hard. for that. Yeah. Sorry about that. Dawson. Lisa M. Thank you for listening, by the way, Dawson, Dawson. Lisa M. Dusty questioning, should people be warning others about their ugly baby is the hardest I've ever laughed at this podcast. I don't remember you doing that. I think what was happening was they were talking about how people will have ugly babies and then not tell you and be like, oh, my baby's so pretty or whatever. And I think I was saying, do you expect them to be like, oh, I'm going to show you the baby, but they're ugly. Hey, brace yourself.

Yeah. It's not a good look right now. I want to warn you. All babies are beautiful. I agree. See, I have a hard time, you know, I mean, because poor little babies. I mean, they're going to grow up. They got a world of stuff coming at them.

Right. And just, you got to let them live. in peace out here. I agree. Tara, Brian doesn't. Tara Metchley. Meckley? They need to know right out of the gate that they're ugly.

Before they can't even understand words. Yeah. I'm joking. I know. I know. Tara. Aaron. I'm a little, I'm sorry.

I'm a little too edgy for Dusty. I think so. Honestly. He is. He's grow up a little bit. He's a harsh guy. He really is. Yeah.

One to hang out at a bread and breakfast in Wyoming. Bread and breakfast. That's where I stay. A two for me. It's just two meals. You can't even stay. Yeah, it's just bread and breakfast. He's out of there.

Not even a place to sleep. There are places to take a nap after you eat, but you can't stay in. It's the first name of Crackerbell. Tara, Meckley. Aaron, I think the solution to your baggage claim problem is to stop checking bags. If you can't fit everything you need in a carry-on in a backpack, you're bringing too much. I understand that in theory, Tara, but the reality is if I'm gone four or five days at a time and if I'm bringing merch now on the road, you're going to have to check a bag.

You just have to. So it's just, it's the world I live in. Also, you know, I think I shouldn't, I shouldn't have to change the way I live because other people are misbehaving. right? Yeah. I got to put my foot down somewhere. Yeah, because it's like this. I also like being annoyed by this every week. I know that sounds weird, but I like being annoyed by it. Yeah, I get it. Do you get it? No, I do get it. Yeah. Because checking, it's like this. You check a bag or you have this extra carry on. No matter what, you're holding somebody up somewhere. Right. Because if you're not checking a bag, then you're at TSA and you got to put your personal item. And then you got to put your check. You got to take up two bins. It all takes a little long. And then when you're getting on the plane, you're struggling to get it up in the overhead.

And then when it's your time to get it out, you go, oh, which one is it? Which one is it? Actually, mine's back there. Can I grab that? I can't get it. I can't get it. I can't get it. Could you hand me that blue bag back there?

No, why don't you wait until it's your, you know. And then, and then everybody's held up by it. But if you just check the bag, then no big deal. But Tara, I'll say on a shorter trips now, I do just take carry on for this exact reason. Most of the time I can't. I don't understand how I was thinking about this yesterday. Airplanes, if you're allowed one carry-on, was flying United yesterday,

and there's a size limit on what that carry-on is. It seems like they should know how much bin space they need. But yet, I feel like very often they're like, oh, we're running alone in bin space. Sometimes you've got to check it, you know, at the gate. Yeah. And I don't understand. Who is it?

Some comic had a great bit about it. They always act like they're mad at you. We didn't know y'all are going to bring bags on the, We're about to take off, but we didn't know y'all have all this stuff with you. Well, they do do that. We can't leave until six more. We need six more bags checked right now, right now. Yeah.

God, yeah, I don't know why they can't figure that out. I guess some bags, people bring. And also, how do they know how many bags we have out there to know what needs to be checked? They eyeball it. Do you think? I think so. They go, oh, geez. Because a lot of times I, you know, I used to.

have just a backpack and I would put it under there. But, you know, now, you know, I don't travel light. So that's why I take offense to Tara. You don't have to declare a carry-on like you do a check bag when you get your boarding pass? I don't know what that means. Like you have to indicate that you have a carry-on in some way? Yeah. You do sometimes?

No, no, not a carry-on. I just let them know I checked a bag. But you don't ever have to do a carry-on. No. Okay. I'm just wondering. I do a carry-on, but I don't let them know. spirit, you had to let him know.

Yeah, because you probably had to pay. Yeah, yeah. Charged for it. Yeah. Kathy Lewis, I love the podcast. You were all great comedians. Thanks, Kathy. Next comment comes from Dan Gettler.

She keeps going. You're all great comedians, but please, Dusty, stop singing. You are so tone deaf. You make fun of Brian pronouncing words wrong. Well, I beg you, don't sing. It's just so wrong. Kathy, if you want to marry Aaron, just say it, okay?

Okay? Kathy and Aaron sitting in a dream. Yeah, it's like, take it easy. Aaron sings, Brian sings, but you're coming at me? Did I cut, you guys ever hear me come on here and go, hey, I'm a great singer. It's called having a soul and some spirit and wanting to bring joy to people's lives. Right, right. Just because Kathy Lewis has no joy in her life.

Right. And loves when you sing apparently. and loved Brian's Oscar Meyer Weiner tune. If you guys want to get a room, Brian knows a bed and breakfast in Wyoming. There's a lot of other old men that can help you guys get to your room. That was Greeley.

Thank you very much. What's you saying, you're tone deaf, so you take the joy out of her life. There's nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit. There's no prosthetic for that. You know the movie? this Kathy Lewis

no scent of a woman okay it's been a while since I've seen Mary Al Pacino comes to the school at the end and gives the big speech

oh yeah yeah but I'm not gonna stop singing I'm not gonna sing more just to spite her that's right that's what I was trying to think but I'll be singing

same amount okay so you're not gonna try to stick it to her but you're not going to back down no yeah I was I was sure nothing would change from that comment yeah

but please Dusty stop singing Well, I beg you. I beg you. Don't sing. Don't sing. I beg you. Kathy, you just wait until I think of a song. Okay. You think I'm on here trying to... It's going to be a long song. You think I'm trying to get a record deal on the podcast. I mean, I'm just... I'm just letting it loose. Right. I'm not going. All right, guys. Vocal warm up. Dan Galvin. The same guy wrote and saying all three of TGIF's most iconic theme

songs, Full House, Family Matters, and Step-by-Step. Well, that's pretty unbelievable. Think about including the name. Is that you, Dan Galvin? Is that who wrote this? Who wrote that? Did he not include that name? No, he probably just knew that fun fact. Didn't know the person's name. I feel like that's an important part of the fun fact. We're not going to know the person. Jesse Frederick. There you go. Oh, you would know him. He frequently collaborated with a songwriter Bennett Salve. Oh, yeah. That's where you know him from. Thank you, Dan.

It's a rare condition. You know, that's a good song. Also, perfect strangers. I never watched that show, but I've heard of it. I used to watch it. Was it Balki? Yeah, Balky. A lot of people listed that is the best.

There's so many TV theme songs people have been listening. I'm like, that is a great classic. It's really, really good. You guys missed. About suicide is painless, the MASH theme song? That's a great. I never watched it. But you know the biggest show of all.

The theme song, right? I don't think so. Suicide. Well, there is no words to it. It's just the, it just the, This wasn't, I don't feel like there was, I don't know, I feel like my dad wasn't into it. And so it just wasn't something that we got to watch. I get it.

Yeah. It's. That's probably good. Yeah. I want to do what a lot of people have been begging me to do for quite some time. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to connect to a personal hotspot here on the podcast. Look at that.

Do you want me to go with the comments while you do this? I had it. No, no, no, just give me a second. You want us to just all sit here? No, just let me just vamp for 10 seconds. Oh, my God. We don't know how long it's going to take. You're professional.

I am being a professional trying to just move it along while you're like, you're like, I'm going to try to connect to a hot spot. You go, okay, while you do that, you want to us to just take over for a bit? No, dude, let me have my moment. And then you're like, be professional. Be professional here. I'm just trying to connect to a hot spot so I can get the MASH theme song going. Suicide is pain.

It's like you've been here before, dude. We're on episode 400. Okay, we should know all this. While he's vamping, Dusty, sing the cheers. I connected to the hot spot, but now we got another alert. Wow. Well, it isn't the title of the song, so I can't blame it. Cheers, you know, I got into Cheers pretty hard about 10 years ago. When I moved here, I watched all the episodes of Always Sunny in Philadelphia up until that point, which I love that show.

I used to. I've become a little less desensitized than I used to be, and I find the show too harsh to watch now. but when I was It would be the opposite, right? I'm less desensitized so I've been resensitized. Yeah, okay, you're right. And then, but I started watching,

I just was craving a bar show after that was over. I started watching Cheers. I'd never really watched it. I'd seen an episode. It's so good. It's great. And I love the theme song,

but I can't think of it at all. I have no idea. Where everybody knows your name. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's great. Guys, Kathy asked us not. I'm not singing, though. I'm just doing a musical stuff now.

You're scatting. Yeah, now I'm just doing instruments. I'm with Kathy on this. Elizabeth Bowerman. Speaking of gratitude, our family is so thankful for you all, mostly dusty. Thank you, Elizabeth. What kind of twisted family is this? God.

This family just email. They wrote those emo from their bunker, everybody. Well, thank you, Elizabeth. Because I got to tell you, Kathy really hurt my feelings. Yeah. Teresa, oh, I'm going to be for real. If I ever see a comedian reprimand someone for laughing, I'd never support them again. People are showing up for you.

Get over it. What is that a reference to? Well, we talked about people having weird laughs and being distracted. I would never do that. A normal show, do whatever. But if someone's recording something and it's disruptive. And if I were the host, it's kind of my responsibility to go, hey, you got to tone it down. They actually, it's like, I understand what Teresa is trying to say. 100%. But it's like even regular shows. I've had a regular show. I don't want to say where because I think the person would know that it was them. But it was a person I knew and they were in the audience. And they were just being.

supportive, but they always had a weird laugh. We'll see if I figure this out. Yeah, and it's like... What kind of laugh? What kind of laugh? I don't remember, but it's just like, the whole show... Like a... Yeah, sort of like, like, so loud, so much louder than everyone else that it became part

of the show. People would laugh at that laugh. Yeah, and it's like, that's not what Teresa is describing. Now, I've had shows where I need something like that. People are showing up for you. Get over it. It's like, no, it's a distracting thing that that person's showing up,

but there's also an entire audience full of other people that showed up. And they want the best for me. But if I got this one, I got the Joker in the front row. Yeah, that I got a deal with. The whole time that it could ruin up, ruin it for everyone else. How old ago was this? I didn't kick them out. I dealt with it.

It was, yeah, I don't know, let's say six years ago. Oh, okay. It's been a while. I'm trying to figure out. I mean, that'd be 2020. It probably was 2021, probably something like that. Yeah. Oh, I think I know.

Okay. It was, uh, write it down on the paper. No, I'll just say. It was Salt Lake City. It was at Wise Guys. And, uh, I'm just, I don't know. I mean, I was thinking. I was like, I very well could have been someone like that there.

But no, this was a place I know. know very well, and I knew a, you know, a large portion of the audience. Opa, like Alabama. No, I mean, it's only a couple places. Michael Hedges. Air. Oh, yes. It is.

Dusty vamp while. Too bad your Tum's chewy bites are gone. Dusty fill in, wire. Yeah, I had. What a shame that Tum sent me a custom signature dish, Chewy Bites. And I go, what a, they sent me two. so I got one in my office at home and then I go I put one in the studio

and I walked in here during the show and Andrew Dorfman the owner of Zanis is just eating the thumbs out of there I go what are you doing? That's a problem he goes I thought somebody just left tums out and I go do you not see it's a special thing and at that point I go well give me a couple I ate a few too yeah why not

I would get heartburn mid-podcasts and eat a couple you'd reach back there without even telling us and get some yeah sneaky what's the story on the Brian Bates pillow up here. Alicia or Alicia

Lisa. Alicia. From Miami from Daniel Beach. He owns the taco place. You know what I'm talking about? Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah.

She's the best. She's come to every show that I've done. Oh, yeah. In the area. She is the best. She owns a great taco player. Cayo Taco.

Well, thank you. There was one that was going around. People were like meling at different places. Like a flat Stanley? Yeah, like a flat Stanley. When that guy gave you those words original, you should have said, come back to my room. I got something for you too.

He says, Randy Newman did the monk theme. Oh, you said the monk, your monk impression, I thought he was doing monk. That's every impression. I'm like, I watch Monk.

He thought that was my Tony Shaloolew. Yeah. He does a great Randy Newman, but every impression sounds like it. Hey, here's my Chandler from friends. He's jungle out there. People think I'm crazy. We're out of time.

He's got a song named Rednecks. That is pretty crazy. I should look that up. David Burns. Will someone please help breakfast with the word aloe? I can't believe no one has spoken up. And then to sing the baloney song when talking about hot dogs, it's I wish I had an Oscar Meyer weiner.

Get it together. Love you guys. A lot of, I don't know what's happening in that comment. Well, maybe you can. The ad read. You said alloy? Alloy or something. And I didn't have the ad read in front of me, so I didn't know.

But you were talking about a razor, right? He said something like Aloi. And I, so we laughed. Maybe it was alloy because it's about metal. Right. Yeah. So we didn't know. I asked.

I stopped. I said alloy and you go, yeah. I was going to say, yeah, no matter what. Oh, because you guys always support me when I say something wrong. trying to get through the ad read, man. Yeah, well. Go buy a Harry's razor. So.

But I didn't know the hot dog. They had a different theme song for the hot dog. Yeah, that's true. I did the, Bolloney song. Do you know the hot dog song? I wish I had an Oscar Meyer wean or I can't remember how the rest of it goes. I guess that's the most important part.

I just, are you still thinking about Kathy? I just told you I don't do hot dog theme songs, but. Do you remember in the Alabama area area in Alabama? I really struggled there. There was a, I don't even remember what it was for, but they had a commercial, Call Goldberg. Call Goldberg, 800, 600.

I remember a Mama Goldberg's, a deli in Auburn. We live so close, but so far apart. S.B. With the breadwinner coming out next week, a little behavioral, this week. A little behavioral guidance seems appropriate. Can I yell, hey, bear, when I walk in? Is it okay to cheer when I see each one of you on scene? When I see each one of your scenes? Yeah, you are welcome to do that. People on the whole won't know what you're doing. You might embarrass the people that you're with, but I'd appreciate it.

And don't cheer too long at our scenes because you could step on our lives. You will miss the scene. Definitely, yeah. If we come on screen, don't tap the person next to you and go, hey, that's because by the time you'll turn back. back to the screen, it will not be there. It's what happened to me. It's premiere. You know, my scene was a little longer, and I feel like now it's hard to even know what I'm doing in the scene. And I understand, nobody said this to me, but I understand why they would have cut it down because our, the subject matter, once we talked about, seems like it wouldn't

have necessarily fit with the rest of what was going on. So I understand it. But I'm real quick in there to where I'm like, what did that guy do? Yeah. What happened? But I know what you did. Yeah. They make it clear. Yeah.

People know. Summer's around the corner and honestly, nothing kills the summer vibe faster than pulling out your clothes and it smells like regular detergent. That's true. Right? You know that generic clean scent where it's like, what are you been hanging out in the hospital? That's why I've been using laundry sauce. I'll admit, I thought it was a condiment when I got it.

But now I realize it's the best laundry detergent. But to wash this food down. Yeah, that's exactly. Their laundry pods make your clothes smell. No, unbelievable, like actual luxury fragrances. I'm talking Australian sandalwood, Italian burgom, Egyptian rosé. That's three of my favorites. I love all those areas.

It's as if your T-shirts came back from vacation before you did, and the scent lasts. You throw on a hoodie days later still smells amazing. But it's not just about smelling good, Dusty. Those pods actually work. They're packed with bioenzymes that crush stains from barbecues, sweat, coffee spills, hiking days, all of it. Plus the pods are pre-measured. So there's zero guesswork.

Just throw it in there. And what used to feel like a chore, it's going to feel like a personality upgrade. Isn't that right? It's also just made its target debut. You can find laundry sauce in select target stores now. For a limited time only, our listeners, that's you, gets 20% off your entire order when you use code Nateland at Laundry Sauce.com.

Mark Rubin, the Real Deal, Y2K, oh, here we go, will be at 314.07. That's 0314.14.07 on January 19, 2038. Computer store date time as seconds since January 1, 1970. 32-bit computer systems measure time as assigned integer.

Highest possible value is 2,147,483,647 seconds. At exactly 0.3.407 on January 19, 2038, adding one more second will cause the integer to overflow and flip to negative. All right. Well, you should get on that, Mark. I'm glad you read that. I don't think we're who you need to be telling about this right now. And Mark, things are going to be so bad by the time we reached 2038 that I don't think we're going to beg for a computer glitch. Shut the AI down. Open the prisons. Let us out. Yeah, maybe. Shut our microchips down. We want to be able to buy bread with cash. again. I do think...

A bread and breakfast. Yeah, I was thinking about cash. Our children, by the time they're adults, maybe even before that, it'll be one of those novelty things like, hey, there's a store and so-and-so still does cash, like a throwback, like almost...

It kind of feels that way now. It almost does feel that way now, but you could pay with cash most places if you want it. I just saw where the National Airport, the parking, they're going cashless. And more and more places, of course, are doing that, which is fine with me.

Every ballpark now is cashless pretty much. Man, I went to the Rockies game and I wanted to get some food and you have to put your credit card $25 before you can even walk through to get in line. I'm like, I got to pay $25 to get in. They're like, no, we just go ahead and charge your card. And then if you don't spend $25, it'll refund you. That's crazy. It is crazy. And then you just go up there and just put an incidental hold on the other.

Yeah, it's like a hotel. That's wild, is it? That is crazy. Just keep your tab open. That way you can just buy. I guess. I think that's part of what they want. I bet in your head you've right, well, I already spent 25.

Yeah. Just go up there and get some more. Yeah. That's pretty, I've never seen. That must be new. I've never seen that. It must be. The food was so bad.

Mm-hmm. Well, at least the baseball's great. You guys kind of, I think, still like, reminisce on ballpark food. Yeah. And I just don't think it's that way anymore. Like, you might find something good here and there. Yeah.

But I remember what you're talking about. Even at my mom's softball games, you could go to the concession stand. Yeah. And get a pretty good. Those are the best. Get a pretty good burger in some aluminum foil. Yeah. But now it's like everything's, everything's crap out of here.

Get some fries. Yeah. I remember the old ballpark. Please turn that foul bottle concession stand for a free Coke. Yeah. It was great. Yeah. That was the best, man.

This place, there was no one working the counter. You just go up there and they're all under heat lamps. and I just got a container with a burger and fries and took it to my seat. And the burger was okay. The fries were terrible. They were just so hard. It probably was $25. Yeah, it probably was.

I haven't even, but I bet that was $25. Yeah, it's so bad. I really hope that with Nashville with the new stadium that they can really work in some local food. Get a little meat and three. Cracker Barrow? Because I think we've done a pretty good job at our airport. I think our airport is pretty good. now.

We got to, I bet it's got to have slim and huskies pizza. That'd be unbelievable. Yeah. Have you ever had Slim and Huskies pizza? I never have. So good. It's a Nashville place. It's really great.

But we got the hot chicken. We got hot chicken. We got some barbecue. Let's get some barbecue in there. Let's get a, let's get a meat and three. Put an Arnold's in there, a cafeteria style. Oh, yeah. In the new stadium?

In the new stadium. Yeah. I want lazy boy recliner seats. They probably will have it. They got to call me up. I got some ideas. Well, you know, the. Who is it has the swimming pool?

Is that Jacksonville? The Diamondbacks have a swimming pool. Okay, but I think the Jaguars have a pool area that you could just watch from the pool. Yeah. That's less appealing to me than a meeting tree. I get how some people would like that. Yeah. All right.

Well, this week, I'm trying to think, is there anything else? No, I think we're good. Last week, Connor Larson. Oh, old friend Connor Larson. Yeah. Yeah, go watch that. Connor's very funny. Yeah.

He had a Nate Land Showcase come out the night that he taped a half hour here at the lab. Not affiliated with Nate Land, but Connor is a buddy of ours. He's done the show before. He opens for us on the road when we can get him. So come on out and go to YouTube or whatever. Just watch it. Yeah. All right.

So I flopped on the call to action. Well, you know what? Connor finally started to be actually. on social media. Like a lot of comics, they really, they really don't want to do it. Well, it's the same hurdle you got to get over when you start selling merch. Yeah. Where I think every instinct that makes you a good and working comic also makes it hard to do those things. Because to take yourself that seriously and to like sell yourself.

And to sell yourself unironically like that. It's very embarrassing to go. I got a little shirt with my old saying. on it. Can you buy it? It's embarrassing. Unless you have cool merch, like I've always had. Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't fit. Yeah, you're immune to all. Listen, let me tell you, though, when you know exactly what I'm talking about. I do know what you're talking about, but when you sell pesticides for a living for a long time, you're ready to make some money with company. Okay. Yeah, I get it. You get over some of those things a lot faster. But yeah, you're right, though, people, but that's why you don't do the shirt with the saying on it because then you go,

oh, yeah, I got to do this joke. Do fart it. Yeah, I got to do this joke tonight so I can sell this shirt. And I know a lot of people that do it and they sell a lot of that, but they got to do that joke to sell that shirt. You just want to do something unaffiliated. So the shirt's cool. It's like you go into, you know, a wings at the beach and you just buy the Big Johnson

T-shirt or the big dogs or the no fear t-shirt. That's what you're doing, you know. I think I disagree a little bit. I think if you had not laughed, no one would even. Yeah, that's funny. You know what I'm talking about. Go ahead. I mean, if you're truly selling the same merch for year after year after year,

I guess I could see what you're saying. You get sick of that joke. But it seems like if you're going to go back to the same markets every year or so, you'd also want to have some new merch. I guess so. Yeah. So I feel like, you know, you keep merch for a couple years that might be affiliated with a joke. and then you get you some new merch with a new joke.

Well, that's fine too. But even with my method, I still will rotate and get some other stuff. Yeah. You know, you just had those hats so long that. Well, the hats are classic. No one's sick of them. No one's sick of that. Hats are a jokey.

I love those hats. Landon Bryant stole my hat and I'm pretty upset about it. Yeah, oh, man. That was funny, though. I felt like you, he would have no way of knowing. But I felt like you gave it to him just to wear for a sense. second. He wore it for the rest of the time, left with it. Yeah. Yeah. He would have no way of it. You ever had, you can't, you don't know if somebody's given you something. Yeah. Yeah.

And then it's awkward to ask because then they would, you feel like they would go, well, sure, you can. Steve Byrne. I was talking to Steve Byrne about screenwriting. And he was like, there's two books you got to read. He goes, oh, I actually got a couple copies here and hand them to me. And in my dumb head, I was like, oh, thanks, dude. And I just took them and never gave him back. Wow. And I don't know if he was giving him to me in that moment. I think he was just showing him to me. Or maybe loaning them to you. But he's, yeah, well, it's too late now.

It's been years. Wow. That's 2022. What was the book? Save the Cat. Save the Cat. And then Stephen King on writing. Okay.

Those were the two. And how's your screenplay coming? Not good. I haven't read the books. Well, sorry, Steve. Quit. There's no new movies anyway. We're not doing new movies.

I told me, I go, listen, we're about to stop all new movies anyway. See the breadwinner. Everything needs to stop for about 10 years, I think. Yeah. Just so you can catch up. Just so. To reset.

But for what reason? Just because. We're out of ideas. Yeah. Dusty in 10 years. Breadwinner's a last good idea. It's a last good idea. It all stops with the breadwinner.

That's it. It's the last movie. That's it. And it just stays in theaters for the next 10 years until new movies get made again. But we could show all the old stuff. Yeah. Okay. I just re-shared the clip of me predicting that Nashville would have a Super Bowl by 2030.

Yeah. And then Dusty's only like, well, but 2030, the world won't even be around. There's still time for that time. Yeah, I mean, the world will be around. The point is, he's consistent. But things will... You didn't say that, actually. Yeah.

But you said something very consistent, what you just said, 20-30. Yeah, things will be... Bad. I think 2030 is really the beginning of when it starts to get bad. When do you think it started, like, 2001? Would you say that that was kind of the time? Things started... That is a great transition.

I'm so glad you asked. Look at that. Look at that. Well, yeah. I think you're right, though. Yeah, do you think you're right. There is one specific thing that started to really turn it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Diamondbacks winning the World Series. Well. We'll get to that. We'll get to that. All right. So we did what happened in 2000. We talked about right out of the gate where we all were for Y2K and what we experienced. So let's do that for 9-11.

I was, I'll go first. I was, well, I was 29 years old. I was working at the TV station still. And I was there at work when it happened. And then just share something that you kind of remember about the day that something happened to you. So it was obviously a crazy news day for us. A lot of people say, I bet that was the craziest day y'all ever had. It really wasn't because the national news just took over.

Oh, interesting. They just go. They were on around the club. for days. They go, we don't want to hear from the Nashville affiliate right now. Exactly. Nobody wants to hear from the national affiliate. We would do local cut-ins occasionally telling people.

Hey, everything's all right here. It's still our channel. All right. Back to you guys in New York, all right? We would do updates from the airport saying it's shut down. Okay. I mean, I remember the AT&T, but the, I think it was what's called then, the Batman building.

People were like, let's get out of here. We don't know what's happening. But that day was crazy, but it was mainly just national news. Yeah. Twin Towers. And then the Batman building in Nashville. Nobody knew. I mean, Nate has a joke about that.

You have a joke. Everybody has a hacky joke about that you know what's going to happen. It's a good joke. I'm joking. I'm a great joke. Well, you just made one, so. Well, I'm, yeah, off the cuff. Yeah.

I had a good joke on my JFL set in 2021 about it. It is a good joke. Everybody thought that they were next, right? Well, you worry. Yeah. Montgomery, I remember a teacher telling me Montgomery is number three on the hit list. for America because we have an Air Force college there, Air Force Base. I was like, so you're telling me the hit list is the World Trade Center, the Pentagon,

and then the Hank Williams Museum? That's a good joke. That is a good joke. That's very good joke. Thanks, man. You know, I was in Lowe's. We used to put, we used to. What?

We used to, not during this time. But we used to have, we used to go in with our work bag. And a lot of pesticide references here. And then we put our work bag in a buggy. And then we'd walk around and break down boxes and put stuff in the buggy. And the bug, the buggy was just kind of off on another aisle with the bag in there. And this lady goes, do you guys know whose bag this is? And we go, yeah, that's ours.

And she goes, oh, you just never know these days. And I go, yeah, I'm thinking, yeah, the World Trade Center and then the Lowe's and Goose Creek, South Carolina. I used to have a old, crusty wallet. You know, the kind of you'd be embarrassed to take out in public because there's just all kinds of stuff, receipts and knickknacks. Business cards I've been using for toothpicks. Yeah, guitar lessons. For actual toothpicks. Yeah.

Or you pull a little tab off. Exactly. Maybe a little loose change in there. No more. Now that I have Ridge, I'm not embarrassed. I just saw my dad's wallet and he guessed what? It looked like a filing cabinet. Good news.

Father's Day is coming. up. I got my Ridge wallet right here. I've been using it since they sent me one. I've got a, well, I wanted to demonstrate how the cash strap works. So I got a little bit of cash on there. I think that's 20 around some one. It might be. I haven't looked. Get your dad something he'll use every single day this year. Ridge is unique, slim. It looks small, but it can hold up to 12 cards plus cash. It was built by a father and son designed to meet the same standard dad's set every day. Over 50 colors and styles to choose from. They even have a 90s capsule collection.

50 colors. Oh, 50 colors. I didn't even know there was that many colors. I mean, there's all kinds of stuff, dude. I mean, what would you call this color? This is black, but it's also got a little pattern. Gun metal. Something like that.

They got all kinds of stuff like that. All Ridge products have a lifetime warranty. This is literally the last wallet you or your dad will ever have to buy. Give him a peace of mind knowing that all Ridge wallets have RFID blocking technology. It keeps you in him safe from digital. digital pickpocketers. They've sold a ton of these.

Well, if you remember, I mean, there was a lot of bad things that happened out for us.

People were mailing white powder. I remember it's anthrax. Yeah. It was a crazy time. Tough time to mail someone some loose baby powers. Hey, I'm going to mail you some tums. I'm going to mail you some tums. Hope they don't get crushed up in the mail.

I, well, the other thing is they didn't, you didn't know when 9-11, people didn't know it was over officially, right? Sure. There's no one going, okay, that's it. That's all we're doing. So for the longest time after that, you're like, there could be other stuff still coming, right? So I was in fifth grade. I remember getting an announcement from Ms. McCormick, our school principal, saying that there had been a bad plane crash in New York City. You were in fifth grade. Fifth grade. Okay. I wanted to, yeah, I want to say fifth grade. I mean, I guess. Maybe four or fifth grade. I was nine.

Maybe I was in, I was in school. Okay. And we had a half day. We all got sent home because there's so many military families that are school that everything just, we got to go home. And I remember that night,

it was all on the news. My dad was watching it. My mom was watching it. I was just like, are they ever going to talk about anything else? And my dad was like, not for a while. This is going to be a big one.

I remember they canceled football for that weekend. I'm like, let's don't get hasty. Yeah, come on, guys. He's the same thing during COVID, right? It's getting ridiculous. Come on. Yeah. What about you, Dusty?

I was, I talked about this in my book. We're having a good time. Well, we haven't read it yet. Yeah, so. That should be the last book for 10 years. Yeah, it should be. Buy that book. Wait, wait, yeah, you want to put a moratorium on books, too?

It's too many of books, yeah. We'll stop it now. We can just stop it now. If you pre-ordered one, sorry. Yeah, if you pre-ordered one, sorry. ordered, you'll still get it. But the, so pre-order. But the, I was 19 and maybe 18. And I had just, no, 19. And I had just, you know, failed to get into the army and or kind of got kicked out. And I was laying on my couch asleep. And my sister called me. And she goes,

because it was 8 a.m. Was it? Did you fall asleep on the couch the night before? Yeah. and a Monday night yeah I had nothing going on I had tried to join the army yeah I thought she did not make it I always thought you tried to join after 9-11 oh no no that would make me a hero yes I tried to join before because we weren't at war yeah and I wanted to get free college and perhaps some free travel yeah you know and and uh and uh so After 9-11, you knew you get some free travel.

Yeah. You don't want to do that. But I, you know, I woke up. My sister called me. She goes, hey, they just hit the Twin Towers, you know. And I go, what? I didn't even know what she was talking about. The World Trade Center, I got.

I don't know. She goes, turn on the TV. And I turned it on just about the time to see the second plane hit. Whoa. You saw it live. Yeah. And I go, whoa. Yeah.

That's wild. Wow. And I still didn't really grasp. fit fully. I didn't either. My first instinct on that second one was some reason I thought that somebody was trying to fly close to see the first one and they missed up. And I'm still not comprehending what's going on.

Right, right. I'm a little slow on a lot of uptick on a lot of these things. Well, it was a lot to happen at once out of nowhere. Yeah. So don't feel bad for not knowing immediately what was going on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I was, you know, it was a wild time of my life. but to be pulling it together for, I had my own tragedies going on. So you moved on pretty quick. Every day was 9-11 for DUSC. Yeah. But, you know, I will say, you know, the Alan Jackson song that followed, the Toby Keith song that followed, all would get me very emotional. I was a very patriotic kind of guy. Which Toby Keith song?

We'll put a boot. Oh, I can't stand that song. I'm not saying I like it now. Yeah. But during that time, it was like, it was like, I mean, there is, I'm not saying that part of the song, but there is some parts of the song, My daddy is served in the army where he lost his right eye. I mean, it's pretty like. Sorry, Kathy. It's, yeah, but it flew a flag out of around until the day that he died.

It's a great song. It makes me cringe now and everybody's singing. But as it gets to the end, you know, it's like, well, you kind of, I don't know, what you feels like you kind of. learn a couple of different things. It's like, well, it's not, war is not as cool. I definitely had moments where I love. That song was awesome.

But then the Alan Jackson, do you remember? And then there was what Darrell Warley had one. Where were you in the World Stop Turn? Yeah. Those would make me very emotional. You know, I love the country. And, uh,

um, how about the album satellite from POD that came out on 9-11? Oh, I, I remember the album, but I didn't know it came out that day. Came out on 9-11. Wow.

And the 11th song on the album, it's called Ghetto is about global terrorism. Wow. How about that? I went and bought that album with my dad. BOD. Wow.

Not all 9-11. We waited a couple days. It was kind of Christian rap, right? It was what they were bringing in. It was new metal. It was new metal, but they were explicitly Christian. But the,

you know, there's a lot of 9-11 supposed predictions and lead-ups and, you know, there's a lot of those. So. Either of you ever see. I didn't know that one,

but that's not shocking. Either of you ever see the World Trade Centers? Like, I'll, first time went to New York was 2002. No, I never saw it in person. Yeah.

Me neither. Yeah. I saw the Pentagon. I did. Well, I've seen the Pentagon still there. I know, but before it got, before something happened. Yeah. Okay.

Before a plane hit it. Yeah. Completely disintegrated. Every piece of it, not in a trace of it. It's amazing. Yeah. All right. So 2001, a lot of people think, understandably, that 2000 was the start of the 21st century

in the third millennium, but it's actually 2001. 2001 was the first year. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You guys. Well, I mean, having a, having graduated in 2000, there was that debate between the class of 2000 and the class of 2001.

Yeah. Who is the class of the new millennium? We don't start at zero. Right. But we were the first class to. flip over to the two. There you go. So a lot of big tech stuff happened in 2001.

Oh, yeah, the dot-com bubble. So I'm going to, well, yeah, I'm going to have, I'm going to need you help me talk through some of this. Okay. I'll try. I was eight, but yeah. I bet you'll know more than I do. You were nine going on 10.

Nine going on 10. Well, first of all, iTunes. In January 9th, 2001, Steve Jobs announced iTunes. Big fan. And then later that year, the iPod. was introduced. And he famously said it could hold a thousand songs in your pocket. Wow.

So great marketing. Five gigabytes. I remember my uncle had an iPod, blew my mind. Then when he got the new one, he gave me and my brothers the first generation iPod. Yeah. Which it's been so long since then,

those are now vintage and collectible and you can actually get a lot of money for those now. Because they've, it's been discontinued. Yeah. Did you ever have iPod? I never had one. You know,

you're a Zoom guy? That's actually what I have. I was at the time I went out Microsoft Zune had when the latest iPod came out Microsoft Zune also came out and Best Buy had them both. Yeah. And the Microsoft Zune had a display on it where it could actually have the album covers and it looked really cool. It was I got a brown one. I was driving a Buickla Sabre with some wood grain in there. So it matched your coat.

So I had a brown Zoon. Soon. Yeah. Was that it right there on the left? Yeah. And it had an actual display of the album cover on it. And it was awesome. And the original iPod didn't have that.

I don't think so. Yeah. I mean, it was awesome, but it quickly, you know, was outdone by the iPod. It didn't seem like a stupid decision later, but. The click wheel. I remember thinking the click wheel was so ingenious. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I gasped. Yeah. when I saw it. Microsoft entered the gaming world with the Xbox, accompanied by the smash hit game Halo. Yes. Do you guys play Halo?

No. Big time. Big time. Halo 2 especially. Wouldn't it have Halo 2 come out? This is called Halo Combat Evolved. Yeah, Halo 2 came out in 2004. So a few years later.

But I remember Halo 2 was one of those games where you would buy the console just to play that game. That's how good the game was. It was on Xbox exclusively. My friend Hayden Wired had Halo 2. We would go over. We would play that split screen 15 hours. I mean, through the night.

It was the most fun game. Just rejecting calls from girls left and right. Just. And they were like, not tonight, boys. I'm a level with you, Dusty. It wasn't even a concern at the time. We didn't have to worry about that. We were playing the best video game ever did.

We were playing, you know, swords and rock. It's on a lockout. Halo 2, I was 12 going on 13. That's a good age for a video game. I mean, like, in 2002, I was, you know, 2001, I was 19. So I knew a lot of... Yeah, you could drive. I knew a lot of grown men playing those games.

Okay, we were children. Yeah. We were who should be playing games about killing each other. Yeah. So it says it was built like a personal computer featuring the first ever built-in, built-in hard drive and an Ethernet port for broadband gaming right out of the box. Oh, yeah. What does that mean?

I mean, you can play online. Play other people online. Oh, way back 2001. Oh, yeah, man. I just learned about this last year. It's Xbox right here. Look at this. You've seen these, right?

Yeah. But I did own one of them for a short time. You've been playing against Dusty. Yeah, I have to have to the controller. No, no, I never played online games. Look how bulky and terrible that first controller looks. Yeah. It looks terrible.

Now, I, and now I, I know, I have an Xbox. I have the newest Xbox now, and it's a much better controller now. Everything is going to look, obviously, besides maybe cars. Cars just change. The old cars still look cool, but most things look dumb. Yeah, we could stop making cars too. No more new cars. I thought when cars break down, man. Well, we could fix the old ones, put our focus into maintenance. So you just want kind of a global pause. Yes. For 10 years? Yeah.

Okay. Who would enforce this? It just enforces itself. Well, we just have to all agree to it. Yeah. Unanimous decision as a country? No, the world. The world.

Okay. Because China's going to keep going. Even if we sit 10 years out. Yeah, I think that if we sat 10 years out and just, you know, focused on maintaining what we have, building what we have, making what we have better, but not making new, I think we would come out ahead. I think we would come out stronger and better because we now know how to maintain our stuff. We're all working together as a team instead of just focusing on what's next. I'm into it. Let's get it going to go. You know? What I was just going to say,

we already see AI. People, when it came out two years ago, people, we make fun of, how dumb it is, but you see less and less of that now. Yeah. And two years from now, we'll be doing that. I know. And I see videos on all these robots and they're falling down and they do stuff and they obviously don't look very realistic. But you know, years from now, we're going to look back at these and be like, look at that thing. Yeah. Because they're going to look like us.

Yeah. It's because scary stuff. Yep. GameCube, the GameCube and Game Boy Advance by Nintendo came out. Can I just say, though, on the AI thing? It is so wild, right? I type in some lyrics to a song. Let's say the song's three minutes long. I put in some prompts, how I want the song to go. And then I hit, you know, create. And it's able to create that song faster than you can even read the lyrics and then record the song. Even if you got it on one take, even if it came to you, you read the lyrics.

you go, okay, I'm going to record it. It's faster than that. It's, it doesn't even make sense. It's crazy. Yep. I wrote a song about pawpaw trees. And that's how I'm utilizing the technology. Hold on.

No. I think it's, it's more accurate to say you wrote a poem about Paul Paul trees. Yes. And then AI turned it into a song. Yeah, we work together. I give them a co-writing credit. Oh, that's nice of you. Because, you know, I came up with the idea, the flow.

I'll go, this is what instruments I want you to use, and this is how I want you to do it. But it's not like you wrote a melody for it or anything. No, no, no. Like, that's where they're co-writing credit. Lyrics by Dusty Slade, music by chat GPT. That's right. Soon-o. Open AI.

Yeah. Yeah. Would you vote for AI for president? No. You talked about it. Because I think that's where we're headed. Right? If they know everything, we'll just like...

I don't even know if voting matters anymore. I'll be honest with you. This is taking a dark right. Keep going. But Dusty, I appreciate your honesty. Thank you for finally opening it up and sharing some deep thoughts. All right, I had mentioned...

The GameCube. Did you do GameCube? Game Boy Advance? My buddy Will had a GameCube. I had a GameCube. I played it a little bit, yeah. Was never really a Nintendo guy. Okay.

But I respect it. I had a GameCube. Cube. I had the Sims. I was working at Office Depot and I'd play the Sims. I did some third shifts. I'd come home in the morning, not go to sleep, play the Sims for a while. Pretend to be somebody else for a few hours. Yeah. Somebody broke into my trailer and they stole my Nintendo GameCube and and all your memory cards. Some other stuff that I had that would have been the type of people I was hanging out with at the time. Yeah, I get you. I hear you. And very disappointed. Baseball cards? is what you're talking about.

Yeah. Windows XP. Oh, I remember that. It was designed a unified Microsoft separate operating systems line. The Windows 2000 and the Windows Me became public 2001. Major Oval, including the vibrant green and blue start menu layout,

the legendary Bliss default desktop background. You tell me that, dude, you remember this? You remember this? 100%. Yeah, of course. Yeah, that's great. It takes me back, man. The Luna visual style or what that is?

What's that? The Luna visual style? I have no idea what that means. Luna? Like the moon? Yeah. Oh, no. It's the code name for the iconic default visual style of Windows XP.

So that's what you think of with the blue task bar on the bottom, the green start button, and then the prairie or the meadow, whatever it is background. I guess it's called Luna. I'd never heard of that. You know, I worked at Office Depot, and this kind of, kind of famous backdrop here with the, uh, green meadow.

The, the meadow and the sky. Yeah. Uh, we had a big display, uh, like a, like a,

you know, like a poster, uh, at office depot. And then when they got rid of it, I took it home with me, hung it in my trailer. I had a,

you had that big, got stolen. Took up a whole wall. Did it have a start button on it? No, no, just this. Just this.

Wow. Took up the whole wall. Did they steal that when they broke in? No, no, not. They didn't take all the valuables. All right. Here's something that I think some people thought was going to change the way we get around, and it just didn't happen.

The Segway came out in 2001. Is that the mall cop thing? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And those type aren't even, I think, being manufactured anymore. I've seen people, they have these. I don't know if it's Segway brand, but doesn't Segway make scooters now, too?

Segway's still around. them. They are around. I just don't think they make the two-will type like that. I see people on them. Yeah, I see like tours around Nashville and things like that. I think still some police officers use them. Okay. Do you know how the guy, the guy who invented those? No. You know, he died. He rode one off a cliff. Is that true? Yeah. It feels like you're lying though. No. It sounds like a joke. It's not a punch from me, him hitting the ground, I guess. Did he do that because he messed up or because he didn't believe in it. He was trying to jump.

He was trying to jump over. I don't know what happened, but he died. Wow. I'm sorry, I brought it up. Well, I just wonder, did he commit suicide as well? No, it was an accident. Okay. It was an accident.

This says one reason why they just didn't take off is they cost around $5,000, which very expensive. They weighed 100 pounds, so they weren't practical to move around. And no one ever looks, cool on those things. Yeah. And I think that's a part. It plays a part.

You got to look cool. I remember the guy. It might have been that guy. It was on Jay Leno and Russell Crow was the guest. And he got on one and wrote it around the studio. And I thought, well, this is what everybody's going to be riding soon. Even Gladiator didn't look cool on that thing. Yeah.

Yeah. Nobody can look cool on it. And that is the problem. It's like, it's not that you need to look cool. necessarily, but you can't look uncool. Yeah, yeah. Like if something you're doing, like even the scooters, nobody looks good on those things. Yeah, especially me. The thing that makes the scooter nice is it doesn't weigh 100 pounds. And the way they have it set up, you can, if you're, I've been in cities before where I'm walking and I go, I don't know if this is a

good neighborhood. And then there's a scooter there. I scan it, get on it, get right out of And so I think the scooters are great in that kind of capacity. It was the owner of Segway who died, not the inventor, by the way. Okay. In a way, it still hurts the business. Yeah. Something that did start in 2001 that's still going strong. Wikipedia.

Gully. Dusty loves Wikipedia. Wikipedia is the best website of all time. I love to go to Wikipedia and check something, and Wikipedia is begging for money. They're always asking. But how many times have you used it and not paid them a dime? Every time. I know.

That's what I'm saying. So, you know, you can ask. I'm not going to give you any money, but I don't mind them asking every now. Yeah. I bet they're getting money somewhere, though. From whom? The government. I think so, man.

I'm sure somebody's done. Why would the government be paying Wikipedia? Well, because it's, you know, it can be changed and, you know, it's a lot of fraudulent information on there. Okay. You believe. everything on Wikipedia? Not necessarily. That's what I'm saying.

I mean, I use it every week for this research. If you don't believe at all, can you believe any of it, really? I guess. I guess not. Well, anyway, it started 2001. I think a guy from Huntsville was one of the co-creators. Oh, how about that? Yeah.

All right. Let's talk about some music. I love it. No singing. though, just talking about it. I can't guarantee it. Okay. Here's the year-in top-10 singles. Okay, you're not going to know any years. People want me to be positive.

You're not going to be able to sing any top-10 songs. No, I know. You have to get down to 60 and 70 to get one dusty. 2001, though, was a different man. Oh, yeah, that's true. All right, here's some. Hot Dog by Limp Biscuit. Yeah, you know that. Hanging by a Moment by Lifehouse.

Oh, yeah. What an album, six-cycle carousel. Wow. That album by Lifehouse. Wow. That's a good one. I couldn't sing it unless somebody else started. but I did like that one. Meaning if it came on the radio,

I bet I could sing along, but I wouldn't know it off the top of my head. I know it, but I'm not going to get it started. I'm not going to get it started. I love that album, though. He's doing it. He's doing it for Kathy.

Fallen by Alicia Keys. Oh, yeah. He took a big breath for that. You got a belt it. No, it's too good. She sings. She's such a good singer. really her first song. And I remember me and my buddy listened to that being blown away.

She sings too good for me to even try that way. She's unbelievable. Yeah. Okay. All for you by Janet Jackson? I don't know. I bet I heard it, but you know, it said it spent seven consecutive weeks at the top making it the longest run of 2001. I played the video. It still didn't really stand out to me. Yeah. Yeah. But I was not keeping up with music 2001. Here's the first one. What were you? What were listening to this time of your life? I think I was still... About to turn 30? What were you into?

Christopher Cross? Well, I do like Christopher Cross, but, you know, I was really in the 90s country and then I think country music was starting to not sound like does to go downhill. This is the age. It's starting to get away from you. It's amazing how much you all agree with me, but don't want to admit it. It is amazing. That 30, right around, that's the age where you're like, oh, the world's getting away from

me. I don't really understand the next wave of stuff coming. I was really into movies, and I guess TV shows, but music, I kind of stopped for whatever reason. I get that. And I still have. I just hang on to old stuff. But I know this one drops to Jupiter by train. Oh, that was a huge song.

It's a big one. Huge song. I'm not saying that's one of my favorites, but it was huge. It was number three. Meet Virginia, though, their other one that they had. Smokes pack a day. That song's unbelievable. Those lyrics, though. Those lyrics are, she smokes a pack a day. Wait, that's me. But anyway. Yeah, I mean, that's terrible. Yeah. I used to think he said way past me. No. Wait. Anyway. So he was like a half pack. Yeah. But I emailed you the top selling albums. I think the number one was, well, let's just look here. What should be blocked. Lincoln Park hybrid theory. What an album. Dusty were into Lincoln Park? Yeah. Lincoln Park.

You remember that album? It had one step closer on that album. It probably had... I would have to put the album on and listen to it, but yeah, I'm sure I know every song on there. Yeah. All right. It just doesn't even matter how hard I try. Keep that in mind.

I design. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the end is on that album. Yeah. In the... Some sports.

Baseball first. Whoa. Let's do a couple more songs. Okay. All right. If you're gone by Matchbox 20. Okay, that's, well, really, I know Matchbox 20. A second album.

What song is that? Second album. I was working at, I do know it. I was working at Papa Johns when that came out, and me and this other lady were singing that. Maybe it's time to come home. Oh, wow, great song. I've heard that in forever. Yeah.

Is that right? Yeah. Okay. Maybe it's tired to come home. Yeah. I'm real by Jennifer Lopez featuring Jarl. I don't know. Yeah, Jirul had a real moment.

Uh-huh. Let me blow your mind. E featuring Gwynne Stefani. Oh, that for sure, remember that one. What is it called? Let me blow your mind. Yeah. Yeah.

It was funny there. They were riding the motorcycles in that one. Let me blow your mind. Thank you by Daito. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. I want to thank you. You know, I was walking through the grocery store the other day, and that song was playing,

and I was singing it a little bit, and then these two dudes came out of the aisle, and I kind of shut it down. And they were singing it too. And then they were both singing it. And they were both unapologetically singing it. And it was such a good song. And they invited you back for their place. Yeah, yeah.

But I said no. They said, what room number is saying? Yeah, that's it. I don't think so. I don't think so, guys. Again, by Lenny Kravitz. I don't know that one. I don't know.

An independent women part one, Destiny's Child. Okay. All right. All of my mind, Bon, bye, throw your hands up at me. Oh, okay. Oh, I don't know. I don't know. That sounds right.

Yeah. All right. Sports, baseball. Barry Bond sets the home run, single season home run record with 73 home runs. 73 home runs. The previous record was 70. Mark McGuire, just, what, three years earlier? In 1998. Yeah. So, yeah, three years earlier. Yep. Nobody's broken it since. Nope.

Because they quit letting them use steroids. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's too bad. The pitching's gotten really good, too. it's not all steroids each row won rookie of the year and AL MVP crazy can you name another player who's won both

uh Paul Skeins he won sall young and rookie the year didn't he? I don't think he won MVP okay I don't know no I can't either

I don't Aaron Judge maybe uh Do you know who won the World Series, Aaron? The Diamondbacks beat the Yankees in the World Series with a little blue pit. Oh, Bass the Shortstop. In Game 7.

In Game 7. Louise Gonzalez. This was the World Series where George W. Bush throughout the first pitch. It was, you know, a little bit over a month after 9-11. Each row, by the way, there's only two people that have done that. Okay. MVP and rookie the year.

Fred Lynn from the 1975, Boston. You don't remember each of you. Yeah, I remember Fred Lynn. Fred Lynn actually is one of my favorite players. I have a couple of his cards. John Ross. Fred Lynn. Yeah.

I do remember Fred Lynn. He played for the Angels. Somebody did offer me a couple of those cards, but I turned it down. I turned it down. Fred Lynn hit a grand slam in the All-Star game. Did he really? Yeah, I remember that. Do you remember George Bush

throwing out the first pitch? Yeah, I do remember that. It would be a big deal. They have the ball at the Bush Library in Dallas. You can go see the ball that he threw out. Wow. The Lakers. It's worth it just for that. I didn't even look at anything else. I walked and I go, where's the ball?

Yeah. And they showed it to me. I looked at it and I went there. Okay. Was that $40? I cried a little bit. Yeah. I'm so susceptible to propaganda. You can get me. I know. I know. It's college. That's what does it. Dude, you can walk into the George Bush Museum. However you think about him, there's like just pictures of him riding horses and stuff. By the end of it, you're like, all right, that dude was awesome. And I don't even know what I actually think about it. But you know what I mean? I bet he was chill. You know what I mean? He probably wasn't even behind a lot of the decision making. He was like, you know, I don't even want to be here. Yeah.

So you don't think he was the mastermind. He's like, my dad's rich. You know what I mean? I just want to hang out at the ranch. Yeah. Ter. Yeah. Wait, way, the Lakers won the NBA championship second in a row.

Okay, yeah, and then they won the next year too, right? Well, that's for a different episode. Okay, sorry. Sorry. But they went on a crazy sweep of the playoffs. There were 11 and O going into, how would you be 11 and 0 I guess maybe the first round was only

best three out of five but anyway they were 11 and no going to the finals they had not lost a playoff game they played 76ers and they lost the first game Alan Iverson did the famous stepover remember that? No yeah

but then they won the rest so they went 15 and won to the playoffs Shaq was on the team by this point yeah Kobe Shaq Robert Orie Ravens won the Super Bowl Del Earnhardt died at the Daytona 500 Do you remember where you were for that?

No, I mean, by, you know, 2001 was, you know, things were starting to get wild for me. I mean, I wasn't present for a lot of things. So no. I see a trend here. Things are taking a turn. I woke up on the couch. As we go through future years, I can't wait to. Yeah, yeah.

It's going to be a lot. I don't remember that year. What was your wildest year, do you think? Well, it just depends on what. you know, we're talking about. Okay. And a lot of ways, you know, 2001 was one of the wildest. But, you know, 2002, 2003, and then, you know, 2004 to 2012.

Okay. And then 2013 to 15, 2013, 2016 to 2012, 2012, it's starting to calm down. Okay. We got 11 more of these. I can't wait. Tiger Woods won the Masters to complete the Tiger Slam where he won the four straight majors. So in a lot of ways

2001 was a big time year. A good year. But then there was some bad stuff too. Yeah, we did start with the bad on this episode. Yeah. Yeah. Incredible year. The top stand-up comedy tour was the blue collar comedy tour. Wow. What is it now? The Nate Bargatsy comedy tour. big dumb eyes that at the time that blue collar comedy tour was pretty mind-blowing though

Aaron because it was on TV too yeah sorry I just drank a bunch of water and I felt like I was about just spit it out sorry about that I think you had some drinks today no I haven't been drinking

God forbid a coach boy have a little fun out of yeah Kathy thanks. Gladiator won best picture at the Oscars. Wow. Outstanding drama series

that means went to the West Wing. How about that? This is the start of a long run. This is actually the second straight year. They won in 2000 as well. We want, I think, the next two years after this, too, not to get ahead of ourselves. We?

I did say, we. That's crazy. Have you been drinking? I have not. Quit making that joke. It was funny. Sounds defensive, doesn't it? Now it's going to become a thing.

Maybe there's something in that pillow. That body pillow right there. Outstanding comedy series with Sex and the City. The top... Well, that was unnecessary. What if it were like a voodoo doll? And he was like, oh. I feel that way anyway.

I think there's a lot of voodoo dolls out there. Every morning I get up. Top grossing movies, 2001. I think I sent you a link to that. Top grossing movies. I think you're going to... like this, 2001, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone. Now, what is the difference thing that in the Philosopher Stone?

Philosopher Stone is what it was called in England. Oh. When the book came out in America, American publishers thought, Philosopher Stone is not going to resonate well with American audiences. Let's call it the Sorcerer's. America's more into witchcraft. Yeah. It was just philosopher stone.

It was just, and then there's really, I think the movies, he's, uh, it changed too. But in the book, it's the philosopher stone. Interesting. This is what it's actually called.

Wow. It's a real kid run here. Shrack. Monsters Inc. Rush hour two. Rush hour two, debatably a kids movie. I don't know.

Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Pearl Harbor. I mean, yeah, that's a good fun kids. How many of these have y'all seen? Uh, I've seen.

All the way down to Dr. Doolittle 2. Oh, the fast and the furious. I was working at Western Sozland, I went to see the Fast and the Furious where the girl had a crush on. That's a good movie. How to go?

Well, I think it went good, but I, you know, I didn't know how to capitalize, but I. Castaway. You go, you want to see Fast and Furious, too? Yeah, give me a couple of years. Ocean's 11. That's a good one. Cast away, traffic. I think I've seen one of the Harry Potter's in the theater.

Do you read the books? No. I'm not against them. It just, I mean, it's, I was too old. I totally. get that, yeah. Lord of the Rings. Princess Diaries.

Old Han Hathaway. I remember that. That's domestic. Abby sent me the top grossing worldwide and Lord of the Rings was number two. What was kind of interesting? Lord of the Rings movies were incredible. Yeah, I can't believe you like those. They're incredible. Okay.

Because you're into sorcery? No, I mean, you know, I, I, I, I, watched them at a different time in my life. I wasn't thinking exactly the same way that I think now. But I think they're very well done. I think, I don't know. I love them. Oh, album of the year at the Grammys was two against nature. Good over evil. Bestiley Dan. That's what Harry Potter is too. Yeah. It's good over evil. Yeah. It's what Star Wars is too. Yeah. You don't like Star Wars. What do you think is a bigger IP? Star Wars or Harry Potter? I looked this up this weekend. I don't dislike Star Wars, but I just am not as into them. Yeah, that's fine.

Harry Potter, just, I don't know, this doesn't feel right to me. I have watched a couple of them. The first one I really liked. By the time I got to the second one, I was kind of out. I don't think I like a lot of, you know, just watching a lot of kids. Don't make me feel weird. Aaron still watches them. No, I don't even think that. I didn't even mean it in a creepy way. But, like, you know, in the Lord of the Rings, they're all adults and they're on an adventure. Yeah. And I don't like watching a lot of kids at school and stuff.

Like Aaron. What are they doing now? I mean, a lot of people... I mean, a lot of people... What is it whether riding the room or whatever? Quidditch? Quidditch, yeah, that's the sport that they play. Okay, so it wasn't during recess.

It was just... No. It was an extra... extracurricular activity. I'm not trying to hate on it. I know. I just not as into it. And the same way, I'm not that into Star Wars.

I do like Lord of the Rings, though. I'd be sending me some stuff. I forgot to mention about 9-11. Before 9-11, you could. That's a great way to end on something upbeat. Let's bring it all the way back. Yeah. But I should mention this.

I didn't fly that often beforehand. Maybe once a year. I'd phone six times in my life. But anybody could go through right up to the gate before 9-11. It seems so. crazy now that you could just go through. It seems crazy that we can't do that to me. I think we should just let them go.

Yeah. But there was a metal detector. It's not like you just walked in. You did have to go through a metal detector. You didn't have to scan a boarding pass. No guns. No knives. That's all we need.

Metal detector. But obviously you didn't have to take your shoes off and all that kind of stuff. It's just, it's such a different time. There's an episode of Friends where Chandler is trying to escape from his annoying girlfriend. Yes. And he tells her he's going to Yemen. Yeah.

And he says the address is number one Yemen Road, Yemen. Yeah. And I actually noticed I was young enough. I noticed that it's like she's just at the gate about to leave with them. It's crazy. Yeah. There's a bunch of shows like that where they have that moment where they, you know, they're about to walk on the tarmac.

Yeah. Somebody yells and stops. Yeah. And you just never happened. Or when they're even getting off the plan. People are waiting for them right there. Yeah. Can't do that anymore.

Yeah, now they have to shoot it. The movie, the TSA line, they have to yell. The office was like that, right? When Michael left? I guess so. I don't know if he had been through security yet, where he was walking through the airport and she chased after him. Yeah, I can't picture if he had been through security yet.

Okay. Or if he was walking up to TSA. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, I don't know. I think it's out of control. And that, you know, and that, yeah, that happened because of 9-11. It's gotten better, actually, because now at least you have things like TSA pre-check or clear where you, if you choose to pay for it, you don't have to do some of those things. I mean, if you've seen the movie up in the air, yeah.

George Corny is a professional. Oh, yeah, I have seen that. He's a professional traveler, and his whole thing is about how these people know what they're doing. But he has to take his shoes off, all that stuff. Before pre-check, right? Yeah, that was early 2000s. So things have at least gotten better in that regard. Yeah.

That was a great movie. You know, the guy from Eastbound and Down is in the movie. Yeah. Kitty Powers. Yeah. Danny McBride. Yeah.

Yeah. Texting. Love that guy. Texting was just starting to become a thing. That's kind of, I mean, if you look back of those old school phones where you had to go. T-9.

Yeah. It was called. Yeah. Yeah. Michael Jordan came out of retirement for the second time, play for the Wizards. Yeah. It was a fun time.

time, 2001. It was. Besides a couple of really bad things. Got a couple hitching our giddyups there at the end. Would you consider 2001 you asked me last week a good year for you? It was a great year for me. Not so much for you, sounds like. Not bad, but just a wild year for you.

Fifth grade was a good year. It was a wild year. I was working at Office Depot, try to join the Army, had some mishaps, didn't end up getting in, got went back to work at Papa John's, moved into a trailer, got my license suspended. I was on probation. But all in all, good year. Just listed a series of tragedies to us. My license was suspended for nine months. I was on probation for two years. You're still driving, though, right?

No, no, I took it because I had a three months suspended jail sentence. So if I got caught driving, I could go to jail for three months. Yeah, well, that'll do it. I went on a mission trip to Australia in 2001. 2001? Pre-9-11 or post? Pre-July. Okay.

So then when, what, two months later when 9-11 happened, I remember the Clintons were in Australia and they couldn't get home because all the airlines were shut down. Whoa. And he had just left office like, you know, a few months. Sorry, I wouldn't, I wouldn't make a joke that I'm not going to make. Well, thank you, Dusty. He probably had a friend with a plane somewhere, right? Not naming any names.

He was in Australia. And then I turned 30 in November. I remember thinking, boy, 30. That's kind of tough. It's getting up there, man. I'm old. It does. I mean, your 20s, you do feel young.

Like 30. Of course. You're like, oh, man. I should be doing better in my life. But like I said, you guys last time, every decade I've enjoyed more. When we get into a few years from now, I'll start figuring some stuff out. So you excited about your 60s? Well, let me just enjoy my 50s.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I thought that was the point of what you're saying. The 60s will be the year, though. Yeah, that'll be the decade. Then it finally comes together for me? Because every year, every decade, it's better. Every decade, he said it's better.

He's doing great now. He is doing great. I know. I thought he was joking. Like, finally, you get your 60s, you'll finally start. That's what I thought.

60s will be the year you figure it out. I thought you were saying that jokingly. Like, I am, yeah, I am joking. Yeah, yeah,

that's funny. Yeah, I mean, well, you won't have it together. But, go on. My 70s.

So, yeah, I mean, it'll, it'll, it'll be a wild time. There's going to be a bomb. Yeah, new movies start to come out.

A bomb hits the ground. There's a flash and the mushroom cloud starts creeping towards you. And the last thing you hear is an AI song created by the movie. About a tree. About a ball ball ballpark. About a raccoon. And then it all goes dark. Oh, my goodness.
