The Nateland Podcast - 184: #184 Catching Up & Comments

Episode Date: January 24, 2024

The guys survived the snowpocalypse and are back together so this week there's a lot of catching up to do. Dusty gives us the low down on his Netflix release and his recent appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon while Nate shares a Jimmy Fallon story of his own. Then they catch up on three weeks worth of comments where we learn Aaron is contemplating carrying a pocket knife, Dusty's wife was a former sketch comedy star, and Brian was a huge fan of the Muppet Show.

Hello folks and hey there welcome to the Nate land podcast I'm neighbor gets you Brian Bates Aaron Weber Dusty Slay all right uh here we are all right we're here welcome back everybody welcome back uh i uh just to get it out of the way i know uh our last podcast was shorter we are going to go a little bit shorter i know i i did not realize this i thought all podcasts were like had to be like two hours long and it seems most of them are an hour or even less and so i know some of you will be disappointed because you like the two hours some of. And so I know some of you will be disappointed because you like the two hours. Some of you won't care and some of you will be happy. But if we keep it around an hour, I'm not saying there's going to be any exact time,

but roughly an hour-ish, somewhere in that. And it'll be better for us. Everything's getting, you know, the schedule's being so busy and all that. I think it'll help us be able to getting, you know, the schedules being so busy and all that. I think it'll help us be able to record, you know, two episodes in one day if we have to. So we can have the backup so we don't miss an episode like we just did with the snow. And, you know, there's a lot going on. Everybody's got schedules. So just letting you know that.

I think it's the best way. But we love you. As if we're doing two hours. And the snow is bad for us. Like I had a guy supposed to come to my house today, a week later, to do some things. And he was like, I can't get there. He's like, my truck slid in the ice. So it is bad out here.

It is bad. For us, we don't have a lot of plows. I don't even know if we have a plow. I got on the interstate last week, and I was like, what? I thought the interstate would be clear. There's one lane open. Yeah. There's people all over the median, all off the road.

I'm like, what's going on out there? It's not a point of weakness for the city. Right. Let me make that clear. We're getting some heat as a town. We're not like, we can't get out. It's like the roads are not good. We don't have the infrastructure for it.

Yeah. You know? Yeah. There's like the roads are not good. We don't have the infrastructure for it. Yeah. You know? Yeah. There's no reason to. I learned something. You can't talk about how cold it is. People will immediately. Oh, yeah.

Oh, that's cute. You know? And then they tell you how cold they are. And you're like, I'm just making conversation out there. It's cold for us. Yeah. It's minus one here. Yeah.

Then you get them down here in June and say, let's work on the road. Yeah. Yeah. They're going to be like, oh, I'm hot. Like, yeah, you're hot. Minus one's cold. Very cold. Really, really cold. In all my many, many years of being on this earth, usually it'll snow. It'll be gone in a day or two.

It's still on the ground. It's been a week of just so cold. Harper's doing, they're starting late tomorrow, but it's been the first time she'll be back to school in over a ground. Yeah. It's been a week of just so cold. Harper's doing, they're starting late tomorrow, but it's been the first time she'll be back to school in over a week. Wow. Aaron's gutter fell off his house.

Yeah. Oh, wow. If I had some real problems, we weren't ready for it. Pipes frozen. I mean, yeah, we had some serious stuff. We had some pipes froze.

Yeah, it just was, yeah, we're just not, there's no reason for it because it's like, Nashville, we're just not. There's no reason for it because it's like Nashville. We get it. I usually say like once a year you get this kind of snow where it's awesome, it's fun, and then you just won't get another one. I won't think about it until next year.

The pipe's bursting in. And I don't know if you wanted me to tell people about your gutter. That's okay. Sorry about that. Well, it's out there now. I haven't told my wife yet. Let her find out. She'll find out on the podcast.

I was in a parking garage today. I was like, what's that noise? And all of a sudden, a pipe burst and water just started going everywhere. At your place? Where? No, in a parking garage. Oh, I saw the video you posted. Yeah.

Man, it's crazy out here, dude. It's crazy. We're figuring it out. And I saw a video on a girl from Alaska, and she moved to Georgia. And she's like, it is a different kind of air here because it's humid. She's like, I would rather be in Alaska in negative temperatures than in Georgia in the teens. Oh, really? Yeah.

She said it's a different kind of cold. They said that in Montana this weekend. They were saying, we don't have a problem with ice on the roads because of the teens. Oh, really? Yeah, she said it's a different kind of cold. They said that in Montana this weekend. They were saying, we don't have a problem with ice on the roads because of the humidity. It doesn't freeze the same way on the road. So, yeah, it's different. Yeah, everything's different.

They love to try to shame us about some temperatures. Sorry, we don't have a lot of Canada goose jackets around. You know what I mean? Yeah, I had to go buy like some snow stuff because I don't think I've ever owned really any snow stuff. You ever use those hot hands? I was using those all week. The hot hand things? Yeah, the little pocket, the little things.

Those don't get talked about enough. That's unbelievable technology. It works so good. Oh, the electronic ones. oh the electronic one not the electronic talking about just whatever it is what you shake you shake them up yeah and why aren't we using that for other stuff what would you use it for i don't know get a big one put it over a house or something put it in your gutters you gotta shake your house well it feels like such a waste and then your gutters fall off yeah that's true well they'd find a way you feel like this

works like every time and it stays hot for so much longer than you think of it. And all we're doing is just warming hands with it. Hands get cold.

Hands do get cold. You can use them for your feet too. But I'm saying there's no other application for this magical thing that they've invented.

Hot feet doesn't. You have to shake it. You're saying, but what if the shake is the main thing? You think the shake is the thing holding it back from being used on... Yeah, where are you going to... Man, I don't...

I think the shaking is just getting oxygen in there, right? So if you just get a big enough one, you put it outside... Imagine if you lived on a fault line, there's an earthquake. We survived. Man, is it hot in here. All the hot hands have gotten hot.

I'm not saying actually get one, the big one, but you're not doing anything else with that? You may be on to something. You want a big sandbag on everybody's roof. Put it in the attic. Put it in your bed. I don't know. Shake it up. Maybe, dude.

Maybe let's do something with it. You know, in Canada, Hannah had like a bag. It's like a big bean bag. And you put it in the microwave and it gets real hot. And then you put it in your bed and it heats up the bed. I forget what it's called. They have a name for it. But we don't clean our microwave a lot.

And ours got real musty. It's the only reason you have a microwave. Yeah. It's the only reason I would use it. My wife will heat up coffee and stuff, but I don't get into it. Do you go stand in the yard when she does it? No, I don't want to be around it.

That's for sure. Yeah. It's safe to come in? My wife confesses to me sometimes that she's been using the microwave. Oh, no. What goes on when I'm on the road? Yeah.

Is that what's happening around here? Yeah, why are you not doing it the long, hard way? Yeah. Raising two kids. You got two kids. Two little kids. Listen, I don't know what your problem is. The clothes will dry eventually, even though when it's cold outside.

Put them outside. Hang them on the line. Yeah, we don't do the dryer. Yeah. We do do a dryer, though. I love a dryer. But if it was a microwave dryer, I'd be out. Yeah.

Yeah. You would hang them. Yeah. I remember we hung clothes growing up. We did, too. We had a clothes line up. Yeah. I just got a new washer dryer dude

and you guys will love this dude that came and installed it he showed up this guy walked in my house all the confidence in the world he goes you're here he goes you ordered the washer dryer right i go yeah he goes i got good news for you man i'm the best in the business he said i'm the best in the world at this i'm gonna be in and out and you you're so lucky dude I'm the best in the world at this. Wow. I'm going to be in and out. And you're so lucky, dude. You got the best washer dryer installer on the planet at your house today. And I was like, I do feel good about that. That did feel good. Yeah.

And he was good. I've never had somebody come in and, yeah, it did tip. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good way to get, I mean, I think you're supposed to tip them. I think we used to get tipped sometimes. Yeah, the guys that come and you set it all up and everything. Yeah, I tip. You don't tip the ones that come in and go,

listen, I'm not the best. I'm just going to go ahead and let you know. Look, you've got a perfectly adequate installation guy. Well, borderline, you might be disappointed. Yeah. Anyway. I was thinking if I remember if I got tipped, because I used to put in And you would install them in people's houses and stuff?

But you weren't good. No, no, I was good. I never, I mean, I didn't tell them. I mean, I was like, I used to put in and you would install them in people's houses and stuff but you weren't good. No, no, I was good. I never, I mean, I didn't tell them. I mean, I was like, I used to be a change of door. I think I've talked about that before. I could change it like the doors open into each other and I could do it really fast. That'll change people's lives too. Yeah, yeah. And then so I could

do that really. Did you ever come in with that kind of crazy confidence though? Do you ask them sometimes? Do you need this switched around? Do you like it like this? No, if it was noticeable that, like, hey, this was, they should have it moved over, you would just take it out and switch it. Because I did it at ours here because I thought, I've done this, and I haven't done it so long that it's harder.

It was way harder than I remember. They don't make things easier. No. It seems like everything, because they want you to call somebody. Yeah. We need our guy. We need the GE guy to get down here.

To switch it out. Yeah. We don't want you doing it. Well, this weekend, or this past week, we had Dusty had a big special come out. Crazy. Seems very well received.

It does. It was very exciting. It was on number two in some poll of Netflix. Is it a top ten list? It wasn't some poll. It was on everybody's homepage. TV shows. Yeah.

It was great. Yeah. I mean, I was real pumped about it. And I still am. I'm pumped. And it's like, I just got an email from the mayor of Opelika. They want to recognize me in some way. Oh, right.

That's very exciting. So I thought it was fake. I had to send it to my management to try to verify it. I was like, I don't know. But he started, he's been the mayor for 20 years, apparently. But he started being mayor after I moved. So he would not have known about me. You didn't cause him any problems.

Yeah. He could be a key to the city. I'd be great. Would you rather a dusty sleigh day in Opelika? That'd be pretty cool. That'd be cool too. I don't know. Yeah.

I mean, I don't know what we'd do on that day. Just go around and say we're having a good time. A key to the city. I'd try to open shop. You know what I mean? I'd try to get, you know, tickets to.

A dusty sleigh day. I'm trying to think what it would be. It would be. Western Sizzling. Yeah. I definitely think school would be out. Yeah. Yeah.

Colleges, for sure. Colleges out. People have been. Permanently. Thanks. Just very, like, Dusty gets to pick who's out. Yeah. No microwaves.

School should be out. That's for sure. Oh, definitely. Yeah. No gifts exchanged. No gifts. No, we don't do that. It should be on April 1st, New Year's Day.

Yeah, exactly. No pagan rituals out here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's keep it clean. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. That feels good.

I did have some people messaging me about my Western Sizzling joke. They were like, I'll never eat the green beans at Western Sizzling again. I was like, you weren't eating the green beans at Western Sizzling. That's not what people are eating there. I was like, you weren't eating the green beans at Western Sizzlin'. That's not what people are eating there. I figure that's the one thing I can make fun of in Western Sizzlin' and not cause anybody any problems. It won't affect their bottom line at all. Yeah, you're there for the yeast rolls, the fried chicken, and the chopped steak.

They're not moving green beans. Yeah. Even the manager is probably like, great, I'm trying to put that in the buffet anyway. Do me a favor. Yeah. You don't think people get green beans? I like green beans. It's not.

It's a good one that you're like, if anything gets shut down, that one's okay to get shut down. Yeah. It's like, I just don't think. I mean, like the buffet at Western Sizzling used to have an item called fatback. Yeah. Which is just like fried strips of fat that people would come and eat. And they loved it. And'm like if you if their fat back is an option green beans shouldn't even be up yeah yeah i don't really want to google it's

almost like the uh the county health department makes you put green beans on there yeah you gotta have something green up here. Something green. Yeah. Fatback's a tough look up, dude. Yeah. It's going to be hard to find that. Maybe fatback food. There it is. Oh, this right here? Yeah. It's like, yeah. That looks like somebody cut the crust off of a piece of bread. Yeah. That's fatback. Yeah. It's fried strips, fried fat strips. And so, I'm just saying, if you're eating that, you're like, where's the melted butter? I'd like to dip this fried fat in here. So,

yeah, it's been exciting. I hope that I've not hurt the Western Settlements business. No, they love it. I gave a nice shout out to Jim Bob. Still no word from them. I went to Jim Bob's social media. They haven't posted in 10 years. I thought I'd wake them up.

Pretty disappointed that I'm not getting a lot of love from Jim Bob's. They might not even have Netflix. That's true. Or heard of it. They just got a red box. I go there enough and talk to the people at Jim Bob's to where I don't even know if they know I've moved. Do they know you Bob's to where I don't even know if they know I've moved.

I go in. Do they know you're a comedian? I don't know. They're still asking you to pick up shifts. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I was talking to them about a guy I knew that used to work there and he left and we were talking and I go, it looks like he's doing well. And they're like, yeah.

And I was like, they go, I haven't heard from him in a while. So I was like, well, either that's good or he's died. And they go, oh, he's not coming back. And I was like uh they go i haven't heard from him in a while so i was like well either that's good or he's died and they go oh he's not coming back and i was like oh okay well yeah i don't know if you know what i'm trying to say right here but i'm trying to make a joke about it and he died he didn't die oh thank goodness he messaged me though about my joke and he said i i was there the night you walked out and i had to and he said I had to make the sauce and wash the dishes. So there's a lot of truth in these jokes is what I'm trying to say. I'm verifying things. I got a response from Travis Tritt.

That's very true. Oh, really? I had to tweet at him first, but I did get a response from him. The video at the end of you as a little boy really topped it off. Well, yeah. Well, that's how I thought of to do that joke. I remember that story vividly of that frog dying. And I found that video one day of my dad being like,

and then it hopped away. And I'm like, it did not hop away. When you look down, it's just so funny. Yeah, because I don't know what to say to my dad my dad's straight up lying here yeah i'm not trying to get in trouble yeah so i'm like you know but i feel good about it i mean i'm pumped yeah i've never had this feels good i like the way the video looks i like the way way it sounds. I like the jokes. It feels good. Let me ask you this.

You were in Dayton this weekend, the first weekend since the special came out. Did you feel, was there a difference? Yeah, I think so. It felt really good. The first show sold out a long time ago, and then I kept getting these updates on the second show, and I was like, it was not selling well. And I was like, all right, this is a regular old Dayton weekend then, I guess. But then it ended up really filling out. So it was good. It was two hot shows and it was great. I loved it. Now. Yeah. And then I had a good fallon, good tonight show,

really great. Um, you know, I went to the comedy cellar on Thursday night and practice the set. And I, you know, I bombed for about half that set and I thought oh no what am I doing and then it was just a weird crowd uh did the village underground after that and it was a hot set tonight what's going on here well you know we're you know I'm just entertaining it's like you're doing wills on the bus yeah we're you know I don't know what's going on there to be honest I'm probably your boat yeah I'm mid fidget I'm sure and uh you know I'm probably I'm mid fidget I'm sure and you know I'm probably about to adjust my glasses or my hat he looks like he's came over to your house

with that backdrop yeah they put you in that room they decorated well for me yeah and Jimmy Fallon said he watched my special I mean he seemed to have a few specific examples so it feels like he did watch it

he watched just enough to do that yeah yeah and and that's all i ask yeah and it felt good he you know he's always very nice to me yeah and uh yeah he feels good third time doing this night show fourth time fourth time everybody says third i thought it was one of them was there's one that everyone forgot about even Even the booker, Michael Cox, was like, yes, your third time here.

And I'm like, I have four on the internet. You can go to YouTube and there's four there. Is one late night or? No, well, I have a Jimmy Kimmel too.

I have four tonight shows and a Jimmy Kimmel. I think you've only done three. But they keep, you know, I did two and then I did one a COVID year

and maybe that's it. Nobody saw it. don't yeah i got forgotten yeah once you start doing it you know it's easy well it is kind of nice that people have lost track of how many times and i do feel like people uh not not that they i don't know how like they don't care less but they care space less you know like the first time I did The Tonight Show, it was like everyone in my life was like reaching out to me. And now it's like, they're like, hey, good job again. You know? Yeah.

They're like, you know. But my electrician from McMinnville called me because he saw me on The Tonight Show. So I'm starting to get pretty famous in McMinnville now too. Oh, wow. Yeah. You're going to be the king of that city soon. How often do you talk to the electrician?

Well, a few times. Yeah. He had told me a story about getting stabbed one time, and so we got pretty close. Oh, yeah? He bonded over that? Yeah. I mean, he told me he got stabbed in the chest and that he had to go to the hospital and almost died.

Whoa. And that's why he became an electrician. I guess. He's telling me this. He's like, yeah, my lungs lungs are all messed up and he's telling me that as he was smoking i was like this guy's tough yeah you know it's like do not mess with this guy he deals with electricity he's got a lot of blockage in his legs and y'all change numbers yeah and then you talk to him like regularly not really he but he called me up the other day. Called? Yeah. I was like, well, what's going on?

He's like, yeah, I saw you on the Tonight Show. I was worried the snow had messed up something electrically. Yeah. And he knew about it. Got alerted his house. Yeah. Yeah. He's telling you.

Yeah. We're buddies. Yeah. Well, that's awesome, man. Congrats. Yeah. Thank you. Did a good special.

And if you haven't watched it and you're planning to come to a show, feel free to watch. I got a whole new hour that I'm doing now. Amazing. I'm still doing the we're having a good time joke and the wave joke, and I'll probably do those for the rest of my life. But other than that, it's all new. You crossed paths with Jimmy Fallon yourself this weekend i did yeah he came down to

uh uh uh well he would have y'all would have did you take when did you take i taped after because he was telling me about the intro that your dad gave to him yeah and then i guess the one that he gave to you oh y'all'all taped on Friday. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So he had just been with you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. He, uh, yeah, he was, uh, he's, I mean, I think he's popped up the cellar like one time and then he's just a thing kind of itching to kind of get back out and do some jokes. And so he, we were texting and he was like, Hey, then we'll come down, you know, to the Prudential Center. And I was like hey then we'll come down you know to the prudential center i was like uh yeah dude uh and then so i mean we just thought he really i mean he murdered like they were very obviously very fun to see right they don't expect him to be up and they go nuts uh but he i mean he just had because he had these jokes he hasn't told him hasn't

tried them anywhere or just dipping his toes in in an arena in the round yeah crazy yeah i mean you can tell that it's uh there is a uh confidence you have to have to be able to go do that and so he's he's obviously talked in front of a lot of people right uh but yeah he goes up and i mean we we think i don't remember what he did like 10 minutes 15 minutes and uh but just doing stand-up you know he does a lot of music brings a guitar does impressions no impressions no guitar and just came out did straight stand you told him he couldn't do that yeah i go listen uh now we well we had a guitar uh sound check for him

because we he first we thought he was going to but I think he just wanted to get up there and do it and uh you know so I'll see

I mean I you know I like when stuff like that happens it's it's always weird because there's only so many people you could even have pop on

right because if they can be Jimmy me yeah yeah who else Aaron

Dusty's half, 50-50. Yeah. So, yeah, it's awesome. I mean, these arenas, they're in the round, so it's – they're wild. It's wild. Oh, I will say this. He talked to me about the round, and I you know, he backed me up a little bit. He goes, yeah, I did the round and the round doesn't spin.

And I go, yeah, that was what I thought too. I thought the round would spin. And he's like, no, you have to keep turning around. And I'm like, yeah, it's weird. Yeah. I've only done the round that one time at Bridgestone. And I, the whole time leading up to it, I thought it was going to be a slow spin. Like a lazy Susan.

Yeah. And then, you know, you have to turn. And you didn't move at all. Well, I don't. I mean, I kind of go back and forth like this, but I did turn, and it was hard for me. Yeah. It's a new thing. It's definitely different the good thing is uh

the the good thing is that is that you do uh it makes you step into stuff boy it's it's i enjoy figuring out how to play it now like as in i and i'm as you get better it's very fun it's very fun to be like every week you're just kind of like there's cameras a lot of people don't know they're like do you watch the screen or me or but i mean it's you know i think it's like a typical thing you kind of watch the screen and you know you glance down that we're trying to make it the sound has been great we've been making it extra like so people can hear it everywhere we got the screens that made the screens bigger so everybody can see them. I think it's, you know, it's like a live special taping. It's just I like that it's so many people.

And you hear them quiet. I mean, that's what's so crazy. You tell a joke and it's 16,000 people. When they're quiet, when you want them to be. And they're just listening. Yeah, yeah. And you're just in there. And it's just, it's fun.

I mean, it's very, very fun. It's just it's fun it's I mean it's it's very very fun it's very very fun and it's it's a very you know it's a new

thing you got to figure out and that makes it exciting yeah it was a fun funny so Graham K

who's been on the podcast Canada he had a surgery on his hip hockey throughout the years uh so he graham had it this this week of this special i mean of this weekend so graham would have been on this weekend because yeah we went to toronto where graham lived for quite a while so usually you know not always perfect but i try to know, if someone's from somewhere, you try to get them to go to their hometown. Your hometown arena.

Yeah. So, but Graham, he's pushed the surgery off so much, and so he had to do it. And, I mean, it looked like a weekend that was built for Graham. I mean, Graham, I bought Graham a Raptors jacket because I felt bad. And then we got him a Raptors jacket.

It looks cool. And then I owe Graham a trip because it was, dude, I mean, so first night he would have just hung out with Fallon. And then we went to redding and uh poughkeepsie which were both un i mean every show was unreal but they were i see you broke the attendance record yeah

at that arena yeah yeah so that that record and that was a ton of snow but they had a ton of stone people worried about that but they all came out. Yeah. You know, they're better at it. Poughkeepsie was just back to a theater, which was interesting because we did two shows, but it was a theater just to do after doing the round for a few weeks and then go back to the theater. Like a tiny old theater. Yeah. Tiny old, yeah.

The plebs. A secret show. I can't believe you all do shows like this. I'd love to do do shows like this. I'd love to do a show like this. It's like 2,500 people. You're like, I don't even know. I guess I'll learn everybody's name.

But they were so good. And then we go to the Scotiabank Arena where the Raptors and Toronto Maple Leafs play. They had the UFC fight there the night before. The UFC fight this Saturday was at the Toronto Scotia Bank Arena. And then so we're there Sunday. And then that one was just we get there and it's like we get to go shoot on the practice, Raptors practice court. And, I mean, just the most fun Graham could have. And you played hockey somewhere, I saw.

Oh, we played hockey in Red. No, in Poughkeepsie. Okay. Yeah, in Poughkeepsie. They had a hockey ring attached, so they let us go hockey. And Graham's a hockey player. Yeah. So, yeah, I forgot that too. I mean, it was hilarious on how specific everything we did was for Graham.

It looked like Graham designed this trip and then just said, I can't go. And he's just recovering on a couch somewhere. I mean. Watching this on Instagram. Can't get up. He has to have a chair in the shower. It couldn't be going man it's he's going through it all yeah and uh we made fun of it a lot to him

uh no we didn't go to but it was yeah it was just it was i mean it was just so like it just everything they're asking that you're like oh graham would have like that's all graham ever wanted was to do any of this stuff yeah go to his homeland uh so it was uh you should have scheduled a surgery better you know you should have looked at your schedule he's been pushing it off so much and it was like it just had to be done and i think if he'd moved it again it would have been you know crazy and forever yeah and can you really play hockey if you're like needing surgery on your It had to be done. And I think if he'd have moved it again, it would have been crazy forever. Yeah, and can you really play hockey if you're needing surgery on your hip? No.

He would have not been able to do it. That's true. Gary Veeder got out there. Gary Veeder's a really good hockey player. He skated and just run around. He can shoot it up in the corners of the net and all that. It was good. Yeah, it was a fun weekend.

Did you guys watch any NFL football this weekend? Yes. Great games this weekend. Did you see the fumble through the end zone? I did. I thought of you immediately. We watched it. We talked about it.

I told them. Bates said we could do it. Yeah. You know what I thought of, though, with that? What's that? Saying you should. Oh, what? Do you have do it. Yeah. You know what I thought of, though, with that? What's that? Saying you should. Oh, what, do you have something else? Yeah.

But I was thinking the reason they probably have it is because everybody would be reaching for the end zone. Like, there'd be all it would be with just every, it'd be just if you, when you run to the end zone, just hold it out. Oh, there's got to be a risk. Run to the corner and then just jump from the five-yard line and hold it out. There has to be some kind of discouraging thing to go do that. And that's a pretty big discouraging thing. That's the biggest. How do they handle it in college football?

Do you know? It's the same, isn't it? They quit the game. Okay. It's the same rule? I think so. I think quit the game. Okay. It's the same rule? I think so. I think so, yeah. Okay.

I was saying you could say it's a loss of down, and the team has to go back to the 20, maybe. Oh, interesting. But it's – So the other team gets the ball. Yeah, it's like a penalty. Yeah. Or, like, if it does it, it's a flag.

So if you fumble through the end, it's a 15-yard – I mean, do something like that it's a 15 yard penalty i think they should make you play the rest of the game without your helmet yeah yeah the guy that phones us yeah home yeah yeah and then you you have a camera that shows him getting in his car yeah yeah and it films him for the rest of the night yeah everything rest of the year. But I do think that's the only reason why I see the argument for it.

It's because I think you would have a problem with people just reaching out all the time because now there's no punishment. What do you do when you get kicked out of a game? You just go sit in the locker room? I think so. Probably shower early.

Probably nice. Just shower a little bit early. Get a little break. Yeah. You know, I asked a couple of NASCAR drivers. Joey Lugana and Brad Kalowski came to the Charlotte show. You know them, right? Yeah.

Oh, you don't? No, I do know the second guy. Brad Kalowski? Yeah, I know the name. You don't know Joey Lugana? No, I've not. The number 22 car? I've not been in a NASCAR for a long time okay we still look like you are well i know that but the nascar fans like me i feel like i've really faded out you know it's a classier sport

now yeah so uh but they're uh i feel like it is when i was going people were they were at the game or race with their shirts off, and they had a cooler of beer that they brought there. It feels more corporate now. Yes. There's still a lot of that. I bet there is, but, I mean, it's like my whole family seems not as interested in NASCAR as they used to be.

It was a big deal for my family. I think I agree with that. It's a lot more corporate. They're athletes now. These dudes are in shape. It's analytics. There's so much that stuff trying to be the best and getting this. Science.

Yeah. But that takes the human element. It feels like it takes the personality out of it. Yeah. Back then, you had personality out of it. Yeah. Like the, back then you had a lot of personality. So, you know,

I got a video of a guy smoking a cigarette during the caution lap in his car. That's what I'm just kind of racing. I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah. There's something that's fun about, you know,

you're like Richard Petty doesn't care about wrecking. So you know that that dude's a lunatic versus, you know, I guess I can see what he's saying. But I was asking them because I was like, do you ever like when you have a wreck early in a race and you get to go home, like, are you ever like, all right, it's not that bad. You know, you just like it's like getting home because I mean, they get on a plane. They'll be home before the races. They can watch the end of it at home. Yeah. Because, I mean, they get on a plane, they'll be home before the race is over. They can watch

the end of it at home. Yeah. With their family. Yeah, you're there all week and then now you're just like, it goes, wreck and, you know. If you wreck,

you should have to put the car back together. You should have to help. You become part of the mechanics crew if you wreck. Well, they have a, I think they want to do that.

But they still get to go home that day they don't fix it no i think they should have to start working on it that day stay there i remember when i was a kid i used to think it was their car like it was their personal car that they were driving and i used to feel bad when they got in a wreck it's like now that i can't get i can't drive home that's crazy isn't that though, if you're a kid? Kind of. I mean, gasping at the iPhone to that, I don't know. I can't really pinpoint you down into being a genius to maybe one of the dumber kids I've

ever met in my life. I don't know what's going on right now. That's before, really. Everything's been fake. It's all been, you got Notre Dame. Did you? Do we have pictures of Aaron at Notre Dame? He did break his back a lot.

Yeah, that is true. That's true. So you probably lost some stuff. I was dealing with some stuff. I was like Graham. Yeah. You know? I thought it was, I don't know.

I was going to say something about this. I think you were going to tell us about a rule change. No, I guess that was it. Yeah, that was it. Well, what did they say about the wreck? Did he say he's happy to go home or is that? Oh, they were. No, I think they obviously still want to.

You're mad and you want to race and it all matters. But I also think there's some where they're like if their car is, if your car is not running good at all and you just know we're going to be in 30th place. Yeah. I think some of those you could be like, yeah, put me out of my misery. You got three hours to go and you're like, I'm not going to win. Yeah, you're going to be slow. You're just going to be in the way.

You're going to be, you're like. Yeah, and if you wreck, you might get a little attention that day. You might get a little news clip. It's a maritime. Yeah, and that's what sometimes I feel like that's what you need in racing you gotta get a little personality in there you'd be like the guy that wrecked i feel like they should do that in sports because we all just that's what all of us that watch sports wonder i just want to know that they're not happy to go home because i think we think they're happy to go like in everything you know if someone's gonna leave

a game or you know sometimes you just think like, well, they weren't playing, like regular season. Yeah, yeah. Well, they don't care. Not football, regular season matters more, but NBA, baseball.

But like baseball, you think about it for sure. Yeah, you're like, these dudes. But like if it were comedy and you turned your ankle going up to the stage and they were like,

oh, I got to go home, you wouldn't be happy that you got to go home. You'd be like, I'd like to do the show. I would like to do the show. I think with an ankle, you could still do it. But maybe if you, I don't know, hit your jaw when you fell, you'd have to go on home.

Yeah. You wouldn't be like, oh, I got the night off. Yeah, yeah. That is true. But we want to work. We need the attention. Yeah. So I guess that is true. They put in so much hard work to get to that point you're like no no i want to i i we drove down to tuscaloosa dusty and i to do a show we showed up it was the worst possible situation

for a show we walked in we were like oh no dude packed bar no stage years ago this is a long time ago this is pre-netflix dusty Yeah. I'm in the same place, but Dusty's moved on. But we show up and the owner comes out and goes, hey, I just don't feel like doing a show.

Yeah. And we were like, great. We went and got some sushi. That's one of the best feelings ever. Yeah, it is. Well, you know,

it is interesting, that show, because we did that show. They canceled on us and it was like a little bit of a bummer because like nobody showed up and that's why they canceled but we also we went got some sushi next day we drove to the laughing skull festival and that festival is where things started to take off

for me yeah oh wow yeah so i think i was there you were you were there i was i remember that yeah yeah yeah i mean that's where I got JFL from that. And then from there, I got The Tonight Show. And it's like, so like the night before things started to take off, my show was canceled because no one came. Yeah. How about that? Yeah. That was a tough weekend for me, but I'm glad it worked out for you.

How long have you done comedy? Full time since 2014, but I've been messing around since 2008. Yeah. Yeah. How long have you done comedy? Full-time since 2014, but I've been messing around since 2008. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Do people think, do they always count full-time? I don't know. I would say 03, because that's just when I started.

Well, this is, I always have to feel like I have to qualify. It's like, if you start in New city like you can like do open mics every night i started in charleston and it's like when i started comedy we were maybe getting an open mic once a week yeah you know so it's like i'm like for several years i was kind of barely doing comedy yeah i could see that which that's i think that's a good answer, though, versus I think people don't answer like that. Yeah. I think a lot of times comics don't answer like that. But that's a good answer.

You know, where it is that you realize, well, it wasn't. It was until you started really. Yeah, 2014, I started really working as like really working it as a comic. Yeah, Chicago, I was, when I first started, I took a class, but then there's so many places you'd go do it every night. Yeah. And it was like the job,

my day job was just to live to go do comedy. And then New York is like, you're just doing it every night. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I could do,

you could do more open mics in New York City in a night than I could do in a month in Charleston. You know? Yeah. All right, so we can start these comments. Sketch comedy comments.

Yeah, we're just doing kind of a catch-up episode here. Yeah, it's been three weeks since we've all been together in person. It feels like a long time. Yeah. I'm happy to be here, guys. I'm happy to see you guys. I am too. I am too. Happy the roads have cleared out.

Yeah. You know, we're able to do it again. Sketch comedy comments. Raina Camps. Finally, Angela is on here. I've been waiting for this. Nate seemed a bit tongue-tied, like he was nervous

because he was talking to a celebrity. It was so sweet. You can tell he really appreciates and respects her. I do. Very, very much. I mean, the child went on the road with her. She was the first famous person that I got to know and talk to. It took me to some unbelievable places.

Alex Penn, Dave Chappelle not being mentioned in the sketch comedy episode is wild. He also could have been mentioned as a comedian who famously gets on stage and riffs for an hour. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, his sketch comedy is. It's a classic. Yeah.

I mean, the show is like the best ever. Yeah. That sketch comedy show. I mean, I haven't watched it recently. Key and Peele too. Did we mention Key and Peele? Barely. I don't know if we did.

Yeah. I don't know. Maybe we didn't at all. I think we were just talking about older. Like it was like kind of older. Right. There's so many. Key and Peele has a sketch called Insult Comic.

And that is like my favorite. Maybe you showed me that. But it's like my favorite of all time. It's so good. Yeah. Trudy Wischrop. That's a tough name. Wischrop.

No one's ever gotten it on the first try. W-I-S-C-H-R-O-P-P. It feels like it's one syllable. Trudy. Wischrop. It feels like one syllable to me. Wischrop. That's still two

Say it as one syllable I don't know I can't do it W-shr-up W-shr-up Is that two? Is that two? That's still two

That's more of two I think you did four Well you know I can make Brian Two syllables Or one syllable Isn't it one syllable? Brian

Brian That's right Brian You know I figured out why Because there used to be A wrestler named Flying Brian Pillman, and we called him Flying Brian. Flying Brian.

Yeah. Most of my friends and family do it once or twice. Yeah. I can't believe no one mentioned The Muppet Show as a sketch comedy growing up. Bongo and Nate especially. That was the original SNL yeah I mean that's true why them why y'all more than us

because he was around before the Muppets and well I looked up the dates the Muppets were really before your time but they were right in my wheelhouse I love the Muppets show I saw their movies I didn't watch the episode but if you guys didn't talk about Key and Pill, Dave Chappelle or the Muppets like. I had their albums. I saw their movies. I didn't watch the episode, but if you guys didn't talk

about Key and Pell, Dave Chappelle, or the Muppets, like what sketch were you talking about? You're going to love this next comment. Okay.

All right, yeah. We'll go to that one. Yeah, I don't remember. I remember watching the Muppet Show. But yeah, I don't. It's like I knew about it, but I don't know

if it was. When was it? It was like late 70s, maybe till early 80s. Yeah. I never thought of it as a sketch show i thought it was just like sesame street i like how you put an m in 70s yeah people have people commented on that hold on say that again 70s 70s 70s i probably can't do it on cue but you gotta let me do it in the wild. Wait, wait, wait. How old are you? That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

But how many comics have you known that's made that reference to the two old guys from the Muppets up in the... Oh, yes. I've seen so many comics do that. Donna Worley. Thanks, Aaron, for mentioning the Amanda show as a sketch comedy show you enjoyed my daughter's a little younger than you but they watched amanda buying show too so i caught some of it i thought she was a brilliant young comedic talent yes so sorry for how she took a turn yeah hope she could turn her uh get her comedy mojo back again someday she was a such a true spark in that laugh track world of kids TV. She was a transcendent

talent back in the day, dude. Very funny. Our show's different when you're not here, Dusty. It's more family friendly. Well, sorry, guys. I never saw that show, the Amanda show. I didn't either, but... Well, he was a child. Yeah, I was a kid when it happened.

Okay. Yeah, like when she got... it happened. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, like when she got, when she went, that's like someone that you don't, because I think Amanda went kind of like crazy or something. Bipolar disorder. Just had a tough childhood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's a much better way to say it.

Yeah. She was kind of crazy. She was kind of crazy. But it was like, everybody was like. Uh, but it was like, everybody was like watching it, but I was like, I didn't really know who she was. And it's like,

so you're like, well, what is, I don't know why we're watching, you know, but then you're like, oh yeah, well,

she's, uh, was your, you know, your hero, uh, Sandra, uh,

the guy, when, when, yeah, Sandra, when, yeah, N G Y U E, Hero. Sandra Nagayan. Win. Win? Yeah. Sandra Win? Yeah. N-G-Y-U-E-N.

Sandra Win? Yeah. We've had this on here before, I think. Last episode. That is a tough name. Yeah. Win? It's high.

Don't put all those letters in there. She's got to get Nagayan all the time. You know? She was just Nguyen. Nagayan. She was just. Ninguyan. Nagayan.

She was the one we just had on that talked about her dad dubbing the movies on VHS. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that. Yeah. Sandra Wint. Dusty's wife Hannah starred on a sketch show called That's So Weird. It was a Canadian show, but I looked it up on YouTube and recognized it right away. I did not have cable, but my friends did.

Yeah, Hannah, I did not know this was on YouTube, but yeah, she had some. There she is. That's crazy. There's a few episodes of her on there. I found a few. Oh, she had some DVDs, and we were watching some of them the other day.

I had no idea it was on YouTube. That's awesome. I remember when she first moved here, there was like a sketch thing with some Nashville comics and she was in it and I was like, oh, Hannah's actually like a good actress. Oh, yeah. I'm like, oh, yeah, she used to do this.

Yeah. Do you think at that moment she ever thought she would have been using the bathroom outside? I don't think so. I'll be honest with you. I think Hannah often thinks about how her life took a turn. Yeah. She calls herself Canadian famous.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She did win a Canadian comedy award at one point. That's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. That's amazing.

Oh, I'd like to give, you know, just talking about my special, I had, I have an intro song on there that was written by my friend named Jesse Daniel

and it's called, and it's streaming everywhere. Now he wrote the song just for the special, but then released it as its own song called Working Hard Day and Night. Great song.

Yeah, it's perfect. And especially the second verse is heavily inspired by me, and I think it's really fun. So I just wanted to give him a shout out because Jesse Daniel, Working Hard Day and Night. Really great song. What was the second verse? Well, the second verse, he says,

started out in Alabama in a humble single wide, and I heard those wheels a-calling, so I had to take a ride from bakersfield to brooklyn and everywhere in between but i'm taking this rig back home to tennessee and so it's just you know so yeah it's a great song is he from alabama he's from california but he uh yeah we've been bakersfield yeah we've become friends oh he's from bakersfield yeah and it just the idea being that you that we've been all over the country. Yeah.

You know. I've never actually even been to Bakersfield myself. I'd like to go. It seems that's where all the California country comes out of. Merle Haggard. Dwight Yoakam. Dwight Yoakam. Buck Owens.

Buck Owens. Yeah. You're nailing it. I'm nailing it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I went to Bakersfield because someone said

was Karate Kid filmed there or I don't know I don't know Ohio comments Rebecca Peters as an Ohioan

this episode had me rolling maybe if you guys would have read some stuff at the Air Force Museum, you would have learned why the Wright brothers chose Kitty. I didn't even get offended by that. I was like, yeah, yeah, okay. She's spot on. Why Wright brothers chose Kitty Hawk for their first flight.

The conditions were right on the beach for flying. I especially enjoyed Nate Dusty bringing the harmony on Sloopy. Sloopy, hang on. Thanks for the laughs. O-H. I-O. Yep. You know, when I was at the Air Force Museum, I had a pocket knife,

and you couldn't come in with a pocket knife. So I went out and I buried it under the picnic table and they took it. I don't know if I've told you that story before. I think you have. Security guard took it. Might have been another place. Yeah. I think we all just assumed that happened.

I'm thinking about carrying around a knife. Yeah, you should. I'm thinking about getting back into it. Just a new look. I went through a phase where I just had a pocket knife on me. Yeah. And I think I used it a bunch. You don't think about getting back into a new look i went through a phase where i just had a pocket knife on me yeah and i think i used it a bunch you don't think about the things you need like a lot of times i need a knife even things that you don't really need a knife for but you're like i could use it right now you'll use it you're like i could rip this apart on my

hands but i have a knife i'll cut it you ever eat an apple with a knife yeah yeah that's a good look that's like one of the coolest things you can do. You're like, I could bite it, but I have this. Lean up against the tree and eat an apple with a knife. Like you're not telling that guy anything. Yeah.

Yeah. Go on. Eat with the other bears. Against the tree. Where's Aaron going? You got to leave. It was the office. Where's Aaron going? He got to leave? The office? What's Aaron doing?

during your Ohio show is without a doubt the most incredible moment of your podcast to date and I've been around since episode one wow

I was totally blown away by his knowledge of BTH Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Bone and Biggie was one of my it's Bone and Biggie Big my it's Bone and Biggie Biggie

it's Bone and Biggie that was one of my favorites I miss my uncle Charles yeah that's a good one too so first Jason Kudrow just wondering

how you guys do a whole podcast on Ohio never bring up Thomas Edison who's that you're not you're not too familiar

with the podcast sorry Jason I was also stunned that the Dayton Air Force Museum was brought up Who's that? You're not too familiar with the podcast. Sorry, Jason. I was also stunned that the Dayton Air Force Museum was brought up, and Dusty didn't mention anything about Hangar 18 and the Roswell crash. I mean, I went with you, and I don't remember that. Yeah. What was Hangar 18?

I don't know. I didn't. Maybe at Area 51. Okay. I'm not really that into aliens. You would think that I would. Everyone thinks you are, but... I know, but... Yeah, you're not.

But they're demons, so I don't like to mess with them. Yeah, yeah. Well, they live in a place you don't believe exists. Yeah, exactly. Oh, it's not a joke. I go out.

Yeah. There's some truth to it. Hangar 18 is going to occur following a UFO incident about the space shuttle okay okay

uh that's a movie I'd check that out though mm-hmm yeah uh yeah I don't know I didn't mention

yeah I guess Tom Settleson I thought he was from England or something it is true, though. Yeah. He's not talked about. It's not associated with Ohio a bunch. No.

Did he invent, like, the light bulb? We spent more time on LeBron James. Somebody more relevant. Yeah. He's credited for inventing the light bulb, but there's, like, people say now he, like like stole it from somebody else. Tesla? Yeah.

No, not Tesla. They beefed all the Thomas Edison and Tesla. Oh, Tesla, yeah. When was Thomas Edison around? This was the early 1900s, wasn't it?

I was going to say late 1800s. Did he fly the kite with a key on it or was that Benjamin Franklin? Benj Franklin. You call him Benj?

Yeah. Benj Franklin. You call him Binge? Binge Franklin. When you get close with him, you know. Yeah. You get a pet name for him. Oh, Binge. I think he slept like four hours a day.

Benjamin Franklin? No, Thomas Edison. Too many things to do. Eight hours a night, four hours a day. The guy slept a lot. Yeah. Yeah, I always think

I want to see people when they say they sleep little like you're always kind of like i want to see it yeah i don't know if i believe every like everybody's like i sleep four hours a day i feel great you're like i don't know if i believe that like i think there's you don't believe that they feel great or that they're actually getting that little sleep? That that's happening. Yeah. I know there's things where there are people that they say, I think Trump has a thing where he only sleeps four hours. It's called something where people don't need a lot of sleep and they have something. I'm not saying that this isn't a thing. But there's also a why. And so Tom says that I could see a guy that's doing something like that. Maybe he has something.

But there's also a lot of other people that are like, well, I only sleep four hours a day. And you're like, yeah, but there's really no reason for me to. We're not impressed by that at all. You're not. Sleep some more. Yeah. What are you doing? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I think it's, I hear more about it from people that are like, well, then you're wasting your life. Yeah. Because if you, I mean, go at least get some rest. Yeah, it's not doing you well. You're not super productive. Maybe if you slept more, you might get stuff done.

You can tell, do you got bags under your eyes? Yeah. You look tired, you're yawning a bunch. Ironically, Thomas Edison, same education as Dusty and Nate. All right. Well. Self-educated. Self-educated.

Some coursework at Cooper Union. That sounds like Vol State. I did. Yeah. Southern Union. I did a little time there. There you go. That's the Vol State of New York City.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Self. Self-educated. That means that means no education yeah i mean get it yeah i mean i mean dude it's crazy that crazy uh he died and he was alive 1930 like he died 1930 uh or 31 uh he was 84 but But, you know, like I saw something today. It was like Queen Elizabeth and Marilyn Monroe,

when they met, they were the same age. Wow. So Queen Elizabeth just, this was, you know, obviously Marilyn Monroe was alive. Well, I don't know, you know. Thanks for clarifying that. Yeah. But I mean, when did Marilyn Monroe die? She died young. In the 60s. Well, I don't know. Thanks for clarifying that.

But I mean, when did Marilyn Monroe die? She died young. In the 60s. Maybe the 50s. Tragically, right? Yeah. So this was when they were probably in their 30s or something. So they were that young.

Wow. So Marilyn Monroe would have still been alive. Wouldn't JFK could still be? All these people would still be... We would have seen them. Maybe not JFK. Because that was 70 years ago now. 60. But we could have seen him in our life.

We would have seen him 60 years ago. I thought it was 2030. And he was in his 40s, I think, when he was... Yeah, he was young. So he'd be 105 or something. And Jimmy Carter's almost... He's like 130, right? He's still around. Well, when he was... Yeah, he was young. So he'd be like 105 or something. 805. And Jimmy Carter's almost... He's like 130, right? And he's still around.

Well, Jimmy Carter's still around, but it's... Yeah, like JFK, we would have seen JFK. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He would have been doing like the Tonight Show and stuff. Yeah, yeah. It's wild to think about. Yeah, it's crazy. He would have done a pop-in set on one of your shows. Yeah, a lot of people think

life moves too fast. It's not going He would do a pop-in set on one of your shows. A lot of people think life moves too fast. It's not going as fast as you think because these people are still here. And you start looking at it, you're like, there's some people from 1930s. Oh, yeah. There's people around. They're hanging on, man. I mean, I say it in my – I talk about the 1930s thing. I'm doing that on stage.

But it's like people from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, even my parents, you'd have met people from the 1800s. I've met people from the 1800s. Jimmy Carter was president when you were born and he's still alive. Yeah. How crazy is that? Yeah. And he's been on hospice for like a year.

I mean, they're trying to get him down. And he's like. Yeah. And he's been on hospice for like a year. I mean, they're trying to get him down and he's like, nah, hospice comes in and then you're out pretty soon. Yeah. I mean, this guy's been on hospice for a year. He's like, nah,

I'm not going nowhere. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. I mean, it's, yeah, it is.

Uh, how do you feel about snapping at someone? Uh, I didn't like it just now. Yeah. Yeah, I could tell you didn't like it either. That's why I did it a second time. That makes sense.

I feel like it's what Notre Dame would do to NTSU. Yeah. Yeah. When I opened for Ali Sadiq in Huntsville, he saw on stage somebody snapping at his server. And, dude, he stopped the show. He's like, did you just do that to another human being and just tore into the guy? I do think about it now.

Not that I was ever doing that, but that's such a rude thing to add a server or something. Add a server. Server's crazy. You do it to your kid or something that you're trying to get them to. It's just trying to get their attention. I think it's so rude I can't even snap that good this one I can do alright this one

I've never really been able to do it I don't know how it works the sound of the snap is your finger hitting the palm of your hand yeah no that's not good that's atrocious that one do it no that's i mean that's atrocious that's all right that's yeah that one's good that one's actually disgusting

rock bottom here short these episodes a little bit more friends hanging out dude we need a new format that's what friends do dude this is kind of stuff we talk about. Scandals and animals. Yeah. Weather. Revisited comments. Demarius Stevens. I think all of us truly appreciate the effort of adding some new footage to the front of a revisit episode. You could have just run it with a note, but this intro is so fun.

Also, what a great episode to revisit. I can't get enough air in losing it for Sor Sigorb. Thank you and congrats, Dusty. This special was great. Intro is so fun. Also, what a great episode to revisit. I can't get enough air in losing it for Sore Sigorb. Thank you and congrats, Dusty. This special was great. All right. Thanks to Marius. How about that? I looked up Sore.

He's still out there. Yeah. I think it's a woman. Oh, okay. Sore? Yeah. I don't know if it's pronounced Sore, but I think it's from a different country. Yeah.

I don't know which one. But somebody tagged the Instagram of that person. Okay. Really humanized that moment for me. I was laughing. That's a real person. I was laughing at, but the way Nate kept saying it is so funny, dude.

She probably went dark after. Sore Sigurd. Taylor Johnson. I don't think I've ever laughed harder than when Bates said, Dusty's not in this one, but there was more of Aaron, so it evens out.

That's good. Got to keep the weight on this side of the table. Yeah. Yeah. You've come a long way. I don't think I even got that joke at first. Yeah. Aaron's come a long way.

I do. Yeah. I mean, I never ever thought about you being a bigger guy, but when you will share older clips of yourself, I'm like, whoa. I mean, not that I'm like, whoa, but I'm like, whoa, you have slimmed down. When I see it, dude. When I see it. I was like 340. How do you think he's eating apples by trees?

He leans against it and it falls out and he eats it. That's how he got him out of there. He just takes his back and just starts banging on the trees and coming down even your laugh was different back then it wasn't yeah it was more of a big man's laugh oh you go get a little better now it's more refined yeah he's told you're the picture of the office you go i'm gonna go to lunch and they just see you going out there you're just shaking the trees out and then stuff's coming down and you you're like, well, he's hungry. It'd be funny to go.

Easy, big fella. If you could do that, it would be very funny to see the office. No mention of that you do it, but you just go. That would be funny. You go, you guys want some apples? Yeah. Shake it. Kate the Great.

So bummed to see you couldn't record, but that intro was great. Aaron Sledding is getting added to my favorite moments. P.S. Do you say sledding or sliding in Tennessee? I'm in Minnesota. People say both. You say sledding. I've never heard sliding.

I've never heard sliding either. I mean, I get what you're doing. You're sliding down a hill, but yeah, man. Yeah, I like sledding. Sledding's fun. When you're bigger, you can catch a little momentum. Oh, look at that. Where were you?

This is a golf course close to our house. I think it's on hole four of the... It's in Hermitage. I mean, that's two. Oh, that's Hermitage Golf house. I think it's on hole four of the... It's in Hermitage. I mean, that's two. Oh, that's Hermitage Golf Course? I think so. Yeah. It's right next to a park there, and they had this... Lucy, my wife...

Yeah, there you go. Well, this is what I was worried about, hitting that tree. Yeah. Plug dusty a little bit. All right, look at that. But Lucy took a nasty fall. I mean, she slammed into a tree. We set up a little backstop.

Hey, look at that. With some snow. And she just hopped the backstop and just smashed into a tree. Huge bruise. Look at that smoke. She's fine, but it was, it was touch and go. Did you say smoke? Yeah.

Like a cartoon. Yeah. When Aaron got to the bottom, you got covered in your own. Like Clark Griswold. Yeah. Good times. Yeah.

Daniel Stewart. Y'all can't do a zoom. It's better than nothing. My Wednesday's ruined now. What's worse than a rerun? This isn't Seinfeld. No one's watching these 20 years from now. Dang, Daniel.

Yeah. I don't do Zooms. I forgot to say. I'm actually proud of the fact that we've never done a Zoom. We've never done a Zoom episode. That's been a big thing because I think Zooms are not good. You know, that week, I forgot to say, my flight got canceled because of how bad the weather was. I could not get out of here.

It just was bad all around. This guy's like, yeah, Zoom? I was at the airport at this time trying to get out of here. Someone said the biggest week of Dusty's career and he can't promote it special on this podcast. I know. Yeah. What were you doing, Dusty? H and he can't promote it special on this podcast. I know. Yeah. What were you doing, Dusty? Well, I was.

Hanging out at the airport? I was trapped. Yeah. I mean, I don't even know. Yeah. I mean, I think the day we recorded all these promo for the revisited episode is when I was at the airport trying to fly out. I couldn't because of snow, because the airport ran out of de-icing formula and they couldn't de-ice any planes oh yeah it's a real mess yeah i thought i saw someone

knew someone was on a plane for eight hours they landed in eight six someone's at the gate huh i think it was six oh that's not that bad nah uh it's i don't that is like where you're how's that just open the plane yeah just go walk out let us out yeah like that's a that's being like absurd like to go well there's nowhere to get like yeah but we're gonna walk out like just be a be a cute normal person right that doesn't make sense that's the stuff that and i don't like to trash airlines people get mad but like that's good stuff you can't do what you do you do? Can I tell you, I flew this weekend and I always go for the exit row because I like the room.

I don't know if you remember the video that went viral a few days ago of the exit door flying off in the air. Dude, multiple people were like, I'm not sitting there because I'm worried about it. I had the exit rows to myself all weekend, dude.

So I need another one of those videos to go viral. Yeah, hopefully on Southwest, too, so they think it's more like an actual problem. Maybe one year on. But when you were sitting next to it, would you not mind it because you like the air? Yeah. I can't get that. Nice breeze. I love't give that. Nice breeze. I love it.

Finally. I feel great. People are getting sucked out the door. Aaron takes his jacket off and goes, finally, I'm breathing.

But when you went out, did someone would have flown out the window? I don't know. There was nobody sitting in that particular seat when that happened. But I don't know. You talking about the Alaska Dare? Yes. Yeah, a phone got sucked out also.

Talking about the Alaska Dare. The other one. Well, I didn't know there was actual video of the war final. I think there was video of it. Yeah, that's what was viral. Or like a picture or something. Yes. But I heard the flight attendants have to say multiple times, like, that wasn't us.

That was somebody else. People were a little gun shy. I lucked out. One of the best things that ever happened to me. I had multiple flights this weekend where they had other problems. It was always like, oh, there's too much fuel on this side of the plane. We're going to put some i had a noise canceling headphone so i missed the first announcement yeah and the guy comes on and he goes yeah we weren't able to get the problem

fixed but we're gonna get some more fuel and then we'll take off here soon i'm i asked the lady i go next to me i go what was the problem it's like that weight imbalance. So they're going to fill up the other side. And then they were like another flight. They were like, they put in too much hydraulic fluid and now we got to come take some out. And I'm like, what's going on? Why are they not doing things right?

Yeah. You don't need that much detail. Like I want you to fix it obviously, but why did you not just do it right? The first time? Why is there a guy putting too much fluid in? I had a, I had to fly Delta this weekend. We sat for like an hour and a half before we took off,

and the pilot comes on and goes, it wasn't us, just a maintenance thing. And you're like, well, it's y'all's plane. This is all y'all kind of working together on this. I don't think you fell asleep in the cockpit. I mean, come on. It all starts from the cockpit. I mean, come on. It's a, it's a, it's a, it all starts from the top.

Yes. And so everybody, you know, but yeah, they don't want to sit there either, but yeah. Uh, all right.

Uh, yeah. So a little bit shorter, obviously. Uh, so I hope, look, I hope you're not disappointed.

I, uh, I know this is the best. This is the best for me personally. I still want to give you all the best product we could give. I didn't know that not every podcast was two hours.

Two hours is a lot. We should clarify, we're still going to do, next week it'll be normal topics. This is just we haven't been together in a while. To clarify, I haven't pitched my upcoming shows yet, so this may still go two hours. Oh, yeah. I got a lot coming up, guys.

Sometimes I won't download a podcast and listen to it if it's two hours. I go, two hours? Oh, no, I can't do that. No, I think a lot – I did not realize it. A lot of people seem like it's a lot. You know, an hour is good. But I'm not saying that's why we're doing it, but it fits where it just goes like we've kind of hit a point to be scheduling.

It's just getting very hard. So let's make it an hour, which is now just in line with most other podcasts, I believe. This weekend, I'm at – this Friday, I'm at Walnut House in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Two shows there. Saturday, February 17th, I'm at this Friday I'm at Walnut House in Murfreesboro Tennessee two shows there Saturday February 17th I'm at Church of the Heights in Palatka Florida I hope I'm saying that wrong

So I need other strangers to balance it out so that my family and friends don't think that they're the only one supporting my shows. And I need to- Sitting right up front. Yeah. Yeah.

I need it to look good. But yeah, I am excited about it. I love Huntsville. Been there many times. Have you been since we went and smoked cigars? No, haven't. Yeah. Yeah. I need it to look good.
