I've had a lot on my mind. Brian Bates. Aaron and Dusty are out. We got Justin Smith, Mike James sitting in with us. This is the – everybody, we're on the road this week together. So it's pretty fun because we're going to Madison and – Omaha and Kansas City. Omaha and Kansas City. Kansas City, yeah. So it's pretty fun because we're going to Madison and Omaha and Kansas City. So this is all of us together.

Yeah, I've been thinking a lot. I know, you know, it seemed like more people were mad that we were going to an hour. More people than we thought. Got some real backlash. I was a little upset. You were upset.

I was upset. Yeah. We're still only doing an hour of you. You're off. People, well, they said, they go, we're doing, I go, Mike James can do an hour. That's literally some of the, people are writing letters. They mail them in. They go, only one hour, Mike James.

They still send letters? Yeah. We go get them out of the mailbox. And they go, one hour, Mike James. That's all we want. But they still wanted the podcast. Still two hours. They want to see you physically get up one hour.

That's enough. That's as much as they like. I don't even have to tell you. I just go. No, no. They go, that's good. Everybody goes, that's enough. Yeah.

Just at an hour cut. That's it. Go on. Everybody comes and goes. They were very specific. One hour. At the most. They were very specific. One out. At the most. They wouldn't be upset if you left earlier, but they said.

Don't worry. Mike Vecchione's 15 minutes. Mike Vecchione comes on. He's allowed to sit here for 15 minutes. And then he's got to go. It's almost like a tag team. A relay race. Greg Warren, we're allowed to just say he's near the room.

But we don't show him on camera. But that's how. You just put a jar of peanut butter right there. Yeah. Yeah. And we just go say he's near the room, but we don't show him on camera. But that's how. You just put a jar of peanut butter right there. Yeah. Yeah. And we just go, he's in the house, but they don't want to see him. He's somewhere. Yeah.

All right. So, yeah. Welcome back to the Nate Land Podcast. Look, I, after, you know, getting yelled at by all of y'all, we were just go back to normal. getting yelled at by all of y'all, we're just go back to normal. We're going to be like George Costanza that left his job, that got fired from his job, and we're showing up today as if nothing happened. And we're back to the two hours, an hour 45 or two hours 15 minutes,

somewhere in that range. I'm still going to, if we feel like we're, I want to make sure. I was doing it for the right reasons. I know a lot of you think I wasn't. I thinking about this podcast, I think there's, I have a lot of stuff, projects that I'm working on that is not, you know, that you don't know. And not saying that, but I was thinking about trying to, I'm thinking about making the best thing for you guys. And that's why, you know, I didn't know the hour i mean i did like these other podcasts are like 30 minutes yeah so then i'm like were we insane like i mean you know it's

like the cotton jerseys in seinfeld and the best intentions the best intentions that's what the intentions were uh but just like yeah just like a stanza where it never happened yeah those 30 minute episodes though they don't have me, and people wanted more of me. They do want more. They want more breakfast. Breakfast is their favorite meal. And so, yeah. And so, look, there's probably some people that are like furious we're going back to this.

I mean. One woman commented today on the fan page, an hour is still too long. Oh, really? Well, there you go. She's going be yeah upset but look they fast forward it skip it do whatever you want to do it doesn't matter you take it how you take it we will put out the product that we've been putting out and you go through it the way you want to go through it and you know drag it out do whatever your mom complained

did she she said when she's on a podcast hers usually go longer than an hour yeah your mom's been on podcasts well so my mom yeah it's got a hundred thousand views 101,000 if you want to hear from my mom uh you can go to the at got it from my mom podcast. It's on YouTube. This lady, she interviews got it from my mama podcast. She interviews like, you know, like my mom. And she moved like Kelsey, the Kelsey brothers. Oh, really? Mom.

And so, yeah, it's a pretty cool. That's a great outfit. It is a great idea. Yes. She looked my mom. And white microphones. She looked great. She looked. Yeah, they did good.

My mom did very good. You see how funny my mom is. My mom is, we always, she's the funny one. She's a queen. Yeah. And then, so it's, yeah, go check that out if you want to, you know, see. How long is theirs? 45 minutes.

Yeah yeah one day I'll get there but so she only has 4,000 subscribers yeah your mom is like a star she's a star uh she is and uh so all right well we're back to normal and in honor uh to extend an olive branch because i know some of you think i'm gotten too big or something like that you specifically yeah

i'd like to say i don't think i have i don't i'm doing this stuff for the right intentions right uh you know i'm making all the stuff I make is for you guys. I think of you guys at home. You know, I also think I could probably, something I will learn from this is I'm not going to talk about every decision with everybody. There you go.

And not, not even just in this room. I'm talking about in general. I'm just going to the general, I'm going on a town square, just going, what do you guys think about this idea? Yeah.

But it was good that i did it so in honor of uh what of what uh i'm going to extend an olive branch to show you that i'm uh still uh like my old car the buick regal the real man's man right was the wrestler still down still is that what is that what the saying was no i'm just saying he came out of nowhere yeah i thought that's where we were going with it i was i thought it was like steven's going to go yeah that was his name still there you go all right mike you go we're gonna do 40 minutes mike uh and we just got a bleep that's it but in honor'm going to do my own Krispy Kreme challenge today. I think, you know, you think I'm too good for this?

I wouldn't have got these today. I have, so I have six chocolate, six glazed. Whoa. And I will just see what I can get through with the podcast. So, yeah, you want two hours? How about two hours of me eating? Yeah. Enjoy that.

I got a diet Dr. Pepper to help me down. Man. You're going to be up all night. Yeah. Well, you know, I got some more for you guys down there. I figured we don't need to all be eating on. And this is my own personal, you know, thing with all the folks. So we can't finish the podcast.

So you finish those? No, we're going to see what I can get there. I got through what? Five and a half chocolate ones. Okay. I think I can do more. I got through, what, five and a half chocolate ones. Okay. I think I can do more. I did eat today pizza, so it's not good. We're not off to a great start.

You also sent Eric home before that box came up here. Yeah, yeah. Yes. Yeah. You had to. Yeah, yeah. They can't. Also, this is my nightmare.

To watch you do a thing that's like, oh, man, I would give anything. Do you want one no i mean yeah i want the whole box yeah well there's a box downstairs yeah yeah but what are they gonna eat i know well we're we got we got more because i didn't want to just do this and you know it looks but i figured you know i just figured you're just here for backup in case you can't do it yeah yeah this is the first time i've ever worked for you to fail yeah this will be the first time i'll pass it on i'll pass the baton on i'm gonna eat it when you go to break and i'll just we don't have a break but if we had a break i would you know

uh so all right so i hope everybody yep back to normal. So what was everybody up to? This podcast has got to go somewhere now. I just got back from Vegas. Oh. Yeah. Just a couple of hours ago. Oh, really? Yeah.

What'd you do? No, my wife's cousin turned 60. Opposite of any comedy answer on earth. They're like, oh, wow. Where were you at? No, my wife's cousin. Did you stand up at the party? No,

it was a comedy club in the same hotel. The cellar one? No, we were at MGM, so it was all Brad Garrett's. Oh,

yeah, yeah, yeah. It was great to watch you walk. We walked into the same bear trap 20 minutes ago.

Like, so who were you with? And he was like, no, I don't know, it was a family thing. Yeah, I was at the crib

with the wife. But he sold it like he was on. Oh, yeah. Have you been to Vegas before? Yeah, the Venetian. Yeah. Yeah. That was cool.

You like it? Yeah, it was cool. Yeah. Yeah. Did your kids go or no? No. No. We're never taking them to Vegas.

Yeah. We talked about that this weekend. Like, when could we take our kids to Vegas? Yeah. Like, the shows and stuff. And then we saw, like, somebody walking down the street like half naked. It was like, nah, probably not now. It's, yeah, we took Harper the first time we went.

And it's just, yeah, if you don't go on the strip and you're maybe, if you're just like, hey, we're going to this show and this thing. There's just, it's such a nighttime vibe that it's not. All the time. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

She loved the hotel the right you know the hotels are fun there and so you can go i've taken her twice once was lauren one time was just a me and her i had a like a corporate show and so she kind of came with me uh but it was like we just went in and we didn't really i was only gonna be there for a short time right it was like all right let's order room service watch a movie like just really the hang in the hotel room was the was what we did we did something else we did go do something but i don't know it was like yeah yeah there's not yeah i agree it's weird uh when you take your kids there yeah but well happy birthday too yeah yeah your cousins cousin Joy turn 60

turn 60 that's a big one yeah I don't know if she wants it out but it's out now it is now I know it's narrowed down

just Joy lives in Vegas she stopped listening to this podcast after we went to an hour so yeah she was maybe she's the one out

Joy Keeby yeah happy birthday happy birthday I did side splitters in Tampa and that was that was awesome okay yeah how was that She was, maybe she's the one out. Joy Keebee. Yeah. Yeah. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. I did side splitters in Tampa. That was awesome. Okay. Yeah.

How was that? That room was fantastic. I mean, just, it was like a fun vibe and that Brian Thompson guy that runs it is great. The room was, the room was awesome. I had a couple of people like, it was kind of a cool moment because you, I mean, again, we always do this thing where we think that we put it out and we see the numbers of people watching it, but you don't ever really believe it. And then I was on stage and I was in the middle of something.

I was in a riff and a guy references one of my bits. Oh, wow. From my special that we released like a year ago. Yeah. And I, it was just crazy because it was like, no, I don like that like they yelled one of my bits out yeah at me and and then it happened again later in the show so it was just crazy that like people that were not only like were they telling you to do it or don't do it no no they weren't like no that one's rough no no they they i did a thing where uh i forget how it came like i was talking

to somebody and they go oh well you got to make sure that you're not you know um i forget how it even got into but he made a reference to sneaking uh like crispy cream oddly enough it was crispy cream donuts but it was enough, it was Krispy Kreme donuts. But it was a bit from my other specialty because it's better than getting caught with a box of donuts in a car. And that was a bit of mine. But it's very cool. I think it's good

that you explained it all. I wasn't going to when Mike forced my hand. I didn't ask no questions about Joy. It sounds like it should be a Mike and Justin conversation out in the driveway after the show. I'm just going. I should have made y'all hang out more before.

I'm like, y'all need to get it out. People are listening to this. I tried. That was cool. Yeah, but it was great. And then, you know, Tampa. Thanks, Mike. So that was cool Yeah But it was great And then I You know Tampa Thanks Mike There's something like Chris Farley's

With When he interviews The Beatles Paul McGartney Yeah Because that's cool Remember when you did that That's neat

No Was it Joy That Yeah Yelled at The bit Yeah It could have been

Yeah It's my birthday tell my favorite joke there was a birthday party there oddly enough so it could have been it could have been joy it got me sweating but yeah it was it's a great club and it was so much fun and i got to tampa's also the cigar capital of the united states is it yeah like you're making that up or it's no no for really it really is there's so many cigar shops there and then there's the only active capital of the United States. Is it? Yeah. Like you're making that up or it's. No, no, no. For real. Yeah. It really is. There's so many cigar shops there.

And then there's the only active cigar rolling factory that's in existence in America is in Tampa. Yeah. So it's great. I went to the, I found this little cigar shop where it's just like, it's just chaos. Like good cigar shops are always just a mess. And so you find one and then it It's crazy to me how many people would go in and watch the guys roll on the cigars

and then just would never buy one. And you're like, why would you come in here for this and not try? And it was great. It was a great weekend. Shout out to Sidesplitters. Is that near Ybor City? Yeah, it's in Ybor City. Where all the roosters are just running wild.

It's crazy, right? Can you tell her, turn that air down up here? We're eating up here. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'm one down. He needs a sweat towel. Yeah, it's like, I'm probably going to start feeling it. That's where I had a fight at the improv.

I was on stage. I did the Olivia joke. That's crazy. That one. Yeah, the improv. I was on stage. I did the Olivia joke. That's crazy. That one. It was, yeah, the improv is, yeah. Sidespreader is great, too. Yeah. It's the one you got to, there's no really, they might have a green room now.

Do they? Yeah, they have an office with a computer. Oh, yeah, yeah. With a chair. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before, you had to go hang in the parking lot. Right, right. And so, you'd just be out there, just people walking to the show. You're like, hey, what's up?

I mean, I did walk through a crowd. That was very nice. Yeah. Yeah. Because you got to come from the back of the room to get to the stage. Well, I didn't know about the back way in. I showed up in an Uber, and the guy was like, oh, my gosh, this place is great. He was talking about Tampa.

It was like a lifeboat. Yeah. He was telling me about how he fled from fort myers which was also like where sam's from yeah so he's like sam is your girlfriend yeah yeah just for people oh i just yeah i don't yeah you know we didn't you know we didn't do any background on joy so i figured we just said he said my cousin all right okay she's 60 yeah can we cut the cameras off please me yeah yeah no no but i walked in and it was just kind of like a weird it's always a weird vibe when you have to walk through your crowd to get through oh yeah and then it was it was very

funny the comments like yeah let me show you the room like all the people are sitting down and they go yeah yeah this is how you get to the stage and all the stuff like that like everybody's in there and you're like this feels like something like we could have done when the show started yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah usually when you walk this way and they show you the light and stuff yeah and they could show you all the way in the room yeah they're like oh did you get tickets too by the way yeah yeah uh where were you i was here dusty had a little party um to celebrate his netflix release and it was a lot of fun. There's Dusty on stage.

A few of us did a little roast slash toast. I wasn't sure if it was a roast or a toast, but John broke down, started crying. It's Mike bombing. And there's me killing y'all wore a hat why did everybody wear a hat well I know but everybody else has a hat on

I guess everybody usually wears a hat except me and I just thought I'd wear a Nate Land hat maybe it's an homage I didn't even notice that yeah you do have a hat on that was weird but everybody else don't they always wear hats yes to Dusty. Yeah, you do have a hat on. That was weird. But everybody else, don't they always wear hats?

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, it was fun. I think Mike and I were both nervous because... I'm nervous anytime. You all know that. Yeah.

You know how it gets. You're nervous now. We weren't sure what we were supposed to say. Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm not... I can roast,

but I don't like to do it it feels mean yeah you know i mean like yeah i'll do it if i have to though yeah but um it's only mean if you mean it right but i mean at some point did you know there was it just like a spur of the moment like everybody get up there it wasn't spur of the moment but i we i don't think we were clear exactly what we were supposed to do because they they said roast at first, and then they said toast. And I'm like, well, that's two very different things. It worked, though. Like, everybody did.

I felt like everybody did the right. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like, you went up there for like a minute. Yeah. Like, yeah. Yeah. Like a minute.

It was very quick. Yeah. Yeah, I know Laura and Abby over there. But. Yeah, it was very fun. I've not yet met Dusty. Yeah, he's a good guy. Yeah, is doing great he's got some conspiracies yeah yeah yeah yeah you're in that seat today mike uh he's yeah special doing great oh yeah so so i was at uh my wife and i

toured a uh daycare today and didn't, you know, seem okay. Didn't know a lot about it. Then I go to. For who? He's back, baby. For my daughter. And then I'm at the grocery store and there's a car there with a bumper sticker for that daycare so i thought man i'd love to see this person just ask them some thoughts on this

yeah mike what's the problem did you wait for them like as i was coming out don't get ahead of me as i was coming out of kroger sure enough there's a woman getting in that car and i thought i'm gonna go over there and ask her about this daycare but i wanted to look natural like i just happened to be walking by and hey i know this whatever did you grab a cart an empty cart i had bags in my hand oh she gets in the car a little bit faster than I anticipated. So it was kind of far away. But I don't want to yell. But she sees me. So I don't want to just stop and turn around because then it would look like I was coming after her. So I keep walking just like I'm going to my car.

And I'm like, well, as soon as she pulls out and leave, I'll turn around and go back to my car. But she doesn't pull out immediately. So I have to keep walking and pretending with my bags. Like I'm going to my car. Yeah. And I had, have you passed her car? I've passed her.

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I keep looking back and she's still sitting there. So I have to keep pretending like I'm walking in my car, walking through the Kroger parking lot. And she doesn't leave.

Eventually I'm going to be late for this podcast. If I don't get out of here so i i eventually had to just like turn around and then kind of make a circle around her like i lost my car it was about a 15 minute extra experience so you walked by her yeah cars to your right you walked past and then you had to cut through the cars and then start walking down to the front of her car down the middle well i didn't come right back to her i kind of circled around yeah like where's my car and then so you make a circle or actually circular and then you talk to her no no no no no no i mean at this point i was just trying not to be conspicuous but uh you know it kind of drug out longer than i thought yeah i think it's a good message, people.

That's why you don't put bumper stickers on your car. You got these kind of people that are going to come up and, you know, a grandfather is like, we're thinking about taking my baby to that daycare. And she's like, what? She goes, you have a baby? He goes, that's what they think. You know that lady? She's probably 28 years old. She's exactly the age you would have a baby in.

And this old man that's got his milk and bread. Excuse me. Is there a lot of kids in that daycare? What's the age group? Sir, you need to get away. Justin, back me up here. Is there a lot of kids in that daycare? What's the age group? You need to get away. Justin, back me up here. I mean, I just, first of all, I need to know what was in your bags.

Like in your, because that can tell me a lot. I think like bread and milk, like he said. Cheerios. Regular Cheerios. Cornflakes, actually. What I'm saying is cornflakes actually what I'm saying is is that everything everything that you have in your bags

has fiber there's no baby food yeah I don't think I mean that's that's the biggest red flag to me to be honest baby food might not even

mean it's a baby either like I mean someone this age eats baby food because they're young and they think I mean there's a point.

You start going back to me. I mean, Seinfeld, I don't talk about the joke, but the idea of when you get older, you really go back to just the circle. You know, you don't know what's going on. You're just walking around. You got to eat baby food.

Your first birthday party and your last birthday party are exactly alike. Exactly. You don't know anyone there. Yeah. you don't know what's happening other people bring them yeah yeah but i identify with both people in that story like if i was in that car one being brian yeah no no i mean i would get to i would be brian also like if i was there like if somebody has a piece of information that i desperately want i will hang out to try to get more information.

But also, if anybody tries to get information from me, I'm a nightmare. I don't want to, I got my headphones in, I don't want to talk. Does that happen a lot? Yeah, a lot.

You wear your headphones to the... Especially when I'm in Kroger. You wear your headphones in Kroger? I wear my headphones all the time. Really? That's a weird... That's a New York thing. That's how you get people to not talk to you. Yeah, yeah time really that's a that's a weird that's a new york thing it's how you get people to not talk to you yeah yeah yeah and it's a new york thing i don't know if you've heard you have moved to nashville yeah uh so you walk around your headphones

like you're on the subway i just i it keeps the crazy out Also, we live in different places. Because I live off of Charlotte Pike, which that's a whole. Yeah, that's a different vibe. You see Mike's face? That's a different vibe. Yeah. You need it. I've had my car broken into four times. It's a different vibe.

But once you want your head on a swivel. That's true. But in New York, you got your head on a swivel all the time. Do you do it soundproof? No, no, no. I do the AirPod thing. One ear? No, with AirPods, you can hear kind of what's going on,

but there's music that says I'm not listening. Yeah, yeah. But you know that someone's asking you something. I'm always on. I'm always paying attention. I'm always got stuff going on. Unless I get to like a Jimmy Dean special is happening in front of me. Then it's 70-30.

Like if they're giving out the free food? Yeah. I don't see that much anymore. But I also don't go to the grocery store that much. Yeah, come on. I know.

It does happen, though. Yeah. Hold on. What were you going to say, though? I was going to ask her about that daycare. How were you going to... I just want to know.

I just want to hear. Are you going to ask how security was? How are you going to start the conversation with this woman? You be the woman. Excuse me, ma'am. Oh, yes. Like, okay, but you're behind the car, though, right?

You come from behind her? Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, go ahead. Excuse me, ma'am. What are you doing? Yeah. I couldn't help to notice your bumper sticker here. Of the daycare.

Of the daycare that you do? I'm on the phone with the cops. We're thinking about taking our daughter. Oh, is your granddaughter? No, I have a daughter. We're thinking about putting her in that daycare. Dude, that is funny. Is it good? She's like, it was.

She starts lying. I know I have no kids that go there. I'm just a fan of their work. Nate, before we take that bite, you want to tell us about BetterHelp? Yeah, I need some BetterHelp. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. I am...

Yeah, Laura wrote a joke in here for this. Oh, okay, let's hear it. I'm very proud of how I have worked on myself in my marriage. Still trying to talk Laura into working on her, but maybe one day. It's pretty good. She does need some work. I'll tell you that. A little tune-up wouldn't kill her.

She should get better help. She should get someone to help. I think it's good to talk to someone. Say you were getting bogged down with people upset that you're trying to make your work time quicker, and you need to get it out. So better help would be good. Therapists, talk to them.

Therapy can be a place to work through the challenges you face in all of your relationships like you with your friends the work your significant others just are

you know a woman in a car you know maybe if you talk to a therapist she would tell you don't do that you know it can help you learn

positive coping skills and help you be the best version of yourself. If you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It is entirely online, designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule. Become your own soulmate, whether you're looking for one. No, he was very nice. We, it was, it was very just, you know, he was awesome.

He called and was like, oh, I think we got into, like, you know, whatever. And I was like, yeah. I did say I go, that lag is terrible. I did say that, too. Is this FaceTime or just audio? Audio. Gotcha. And then he texted me, and then I didn't text him back because I was, like, traveling.

And then he just called me. And then I was like, you know, you got to just, you know, like, back because I was traveling, and then he just called me. Then I was like, you know, you got to just – you're like, hello? I was on the phone with Peyton Manning. So then – but he was very cool, and he acknowledged that it was – I told him, I said – I'm trying to tell him to change the show. I go, it should be just you and Eli. I go, it's so good with y'all. Just do an hour.

Yes. Stop. I go, Pey payton let me tell you something they don't want too much of us it ain't gonna kill you to do some of the first quarter then get out leave them wanting more uh and if they don't like it they're right in and they'll tell you about it and then just eat all the Krispy Kreme donuts in front of them. But yeah, it was all good. And, you know, so this is not a thing. Had he heard, like, you know?

It felt like, I don't know if he'd listened to it, but it felt like someone informed him that, you know, when you look in better pockets, it wasn't too bad. It's not like I was, because I told him, it's like more of just making fun of it. Yeah. But also, it was being frustrated, but I wasn't trying to go down, you know, uh, I don't regret like saying it. It was just, I'm telling you the truth of what the experience was.

Uh, but you know. But I think part of hosting a show is making sure that the guests on your show look good. Like, like clean up and have good, you know, everything looks good. And I think they try. Like, I mean, they do good. It's just that setup is not ideal. But, I mean, I'm sure they're going to fix it and figure it out. They are so good together.

And when they have a football player on, it's wonderful. I would watch the, you know, it's the idea, too. I see ESPN being involved where they're like, well, we need a guest. And you're like, no one wants a guest we just want to hear right i'm watching them because it's same reason you listen to tony romo right is because you're like i want to hear him call the plays so pay i want to hear peyton and eli call the plays and they're so you know peyton goes off on a tangent eli brings it back makes fun of like their rapport is good and then they bring in kirk cousins and you're like, all right, great. I'm going to hear Kirk Cousins.

Yeah. Right. And they get to have – those are guys that they've also had beats with when they were in the league. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He told me he liked the Titans' new coach. Really?

Yeah. He just kind of gets off the phone, and he just kind of gives you – he goes, well, I like your Titans guy. I think he was one of Peyton's guys. Yeah. he goes he's great he's good and then he goes vandy goes that's all he said like he goes vandy you know yeah and that was it yeah i think when the broncos fired their coach and hired gary kubiak i think read the quote he said went to him said you got to keep Brian Callahan, who was just like a quarterback's

coach. Maybe not even that at that time, but he was a big fan of him. So y'all like him? Y'all like that hire? I think so. I don't know. I don't know either, but yeah, we'll see. Peyton likes him. He's my best friend, so. I've lost respect for Peyton,

but you know, whatever. So let's get into some of you guys' comments. Oh, boy. What are these going to be? L.E.R. I'm autistic and crowd noise can be overwhelming. I've worked hard in various therapies to find strategies to cope and was excited to buy a ticket to your Be Funny Tour in Chicago. I've always felt like there wasn't really

anything that made life worth living, man. But lately, I've been able to engage more in the world and realize the point of life might be moments. Thanks for giving me some good moments to hold on to. I had a great night and got to see my favorite comedian turns out i love live shows well ellie i love to hear that do you remember who opened for you that night in chicago were you there no but she said she got to see her favorite comedian i was just wondering oh yeah she's talking about i appreciate that boom uh there you go yeah chicago is great well that's awesome ellie thank you so much for coming out. Yeah, there is. The moments in life, that's what you're going for.

You're going for the fun moments. It's fun. Enjoy yourself. Laugh. And I'm glad you were able to be one of your moments. That's an honor for us. Maggie McGoffie. McGoffie?

I bet it's McGoffie. I think it's McGoffie. We write the name on it, right?y, McGoughy. I bet it's McGoughy. I think it's McGoughy. We write the name on it, right? On the screen? Yeah. Maggie McGoughy. Okay. McGoughy.

McGoughy. Maggie McGoughy. What's she doing over here? How's it Nate showing Atlanta? Once Nate got on stage, the woman in front of me began live streaming this show. I went to the near serene employee and shamelessly tattled on the person in front of me. I was so embarrassed for tattling that when the show ended, I ducked out as fast as I could. Would you recommend?

Would you all recommend doing in that situation? What would you all recommend doing? I appreciate you doing that. I actually had someone put my set, you, Brian found it. They just had my audio of my whole set. I do not take phones. I don't want to take phones and not threat. I don't think it's, I don't like it. I don't like to be like, everybody's in a door. I don't think people are in the general grand scheme of things. I don't think people's really trying to, you know,

I hope I try. I'm just trusting that the audience is not trying to do something. Sure. Uh, you don't want it released. I mean, the big part of that is like, you know,

it's like I'm taping, I'll tell you, I'm taping a special. I can't say where it's going, but, uh, my show's in Phoenix. I think it's April 13,

14. Uh, I'm, that's when I'm taping my show's in Phoenix. I think it's April 13, 14. That's when I'm taping my next special. Oh, wow. Yeah. And so, like, you know, but when you tape it and it comes out, you want it just to be a surprise for everybody. You don't want stuff to, like, leak out. And it's not like the whole world's going to even hear this clip, but, you know real the people that are big big fans will go look up stuff they can't help it they yeah and you don't want to

ruin it for them so i appreciate you saying uh for them not to do it we have we tell the you know the arena people to do it we have everybody kind of keeps an eye on it it's very the rain it's a lot of people all right but i i don't want to take phones away uh uh uh you know it just seems i don't know that's uh it seems like a lot yeah so i mean yeah as long as it doesn't become i think a general you know we got enough of uh i don't think there's a lot of you know hopefully there's a lot of those people that are taping and hopefully there's a lot of maggies good job maggie ellies who just enjoyed the show. I think a nice tap too. Like you just, you just, that's aggressive.

You just, that's very aggressive. Cause you don't know what you're coming at. Just a, just a tap on the shoulder. Hey, just don't do that. That's what it would be. The guy that would storm up on a lady's car. That's like bumper stickers said three 11. You a big fan?

And they're like, good night. Where'd that guy come from? But, I mean, here's the thing. If you had to... And Brian circles him. He's the first shark that comes in, and Brian circles him from a broader stroke. A bag of milk and bread.

I just feel like if I'm paying whatever people are paying to go to your show I don't want to have to go get an usher and then go and then have them deal with it I would just much rather we're adults I'm going to handle it right now

yeah but that's but he's thinking if I'm tapping you you're doing something wrong and you know you're doing something wrong who wants to I don't want that confrontation you would like it we come from the streets no no i'm just we don't listen brian and i are different yeah uh we're a different breed yeah no i'm just saying that like that can that would that might actually cause more of a

disruption you don't think yeah i mean you go well who are you to tell me i can't feel but also but also his people are the best people on the planet yeah yeah this is not this is not my craft that's true yeah i don't think the person's filming it in a mean way but it is like don't film right let's just enjoy also like you it's not like that person it's coming out of nowhere you have signs and everything and yeah there's a whole thing so it's it's kind of like if you're you can go get people and it's the right thing to do, but I think that if you can be too humans about it.

I think this weekend, if you get tapped on the shoulder by Justin, it's not good. That's what it is. I'm going to tap people all the way. I'm going to tap people for no reason. You hear me, Omaha? I'm talking to you. I'm coming for you. If you feel a tap on your shoulder, it's going to be the big guy. Y'all are just going coming for you. If you feel a tap on your shoulder, it's going to be the big guy.

Y'all are just going to have to. If you feel a tap and heavy breathing, just know. Why when Justin gets done, he doesn't walk back to backstage. He just starts circling. Just looking for people. Walking up and down the aisle, and the audience just knows. We got to be easy. Justin, he wants to come tap.

He's looking for it. He has to go get someone in the middle you have to like excuse me excuse me excuse me just to tap their shoulder i'm gonna have to run security for the crowd just just to keep just to keep you off of listen i got three days i'm gonna turn mike around on this issue too and then we're both gonna be he'll take the east i'll take the west and then brian will be the one filming brian's quality control yeah brian's supervisor uh bruce crombie crombie uh do the openers give the headliner a warning if there's someone in the crowd being disruptive talking or generally being a nuisance. Yeah.

I always ask how the crowd is before it. I like to ask every single comic, how's the crowd? I've just always done that. You've always done. I think I imagine most comics you go, how is it? It's good.

Like we just like, uh, some kind of like, you know, what am I walking into? You know, and sometimes it's fun. They're quiet.

They're this or they're, you know, it's like, they're, they're really good. Or're like this is unreal and I mean are the crowds of these shows they're always great so you're just kind of getting little stuff I will get told if like hey there's a lady on the left or a dude in the back he's kind of yelling and he's kind of taught like

just so you're aware that that's happening so we will say if something's going on like yeah that person's especially at clubs you know like hey you got a table up front and they you know because sometimes if you're in a comedy club the table's up front talking well you can't hear that they're talking in the back but that's all you hear on stage right so you got to go tell the next comic hey this this table up front is yeah they're talking the whole time just so you know i did one i did i was at zany's one time and it was damon waynes jr and there were these people that had all this merch for him to sign and they just put it on the stage wow and i i went back to him and i go hey listen uh i go i can

handle this if you want or if you want to deal with it but i go that's what's happening out there i go i go i go it might be better if i handle it that way. You don't have to be, you know, I'm a, you want me to tap their shoulder. I'll do it. This is, this is something I live for.

I just told him, I go, Hey, it's out there. I go, do you want me to have a move it off and get it away? And he goes, yeah,

if you could, that'd be great. And you just told him that I just, and I was a, I was a white guy in that audience. Yeah. Just being like, Hey,

you got to get that stuff all done. But some of it was, it was weird. Cause it was like, one of the things they had for him to get that stuff. But some of it was weird because it was like one of the things they had for him to sign was the stunt. He wasn't even in it.

It was his dad that was in it. So it was like a weird, it was like a whole weird situation that it was like an awkward thing for him. You're talking about Damon Wayans Jr. Yeah. And they had like

Damon Wayans Sr. stuff. And it was an awkward situation. Not even, I was just there doing the show and i was like dude i but i always like that type of situation because it's like as a as a host or if you're whatever it is it's much easier for me to go out and correct a wrong situation and then to have him come out and be like oh this might he doesn't know he's whatever like it's fine that i can take the bullet for that. So that he can still be cool to his people.

That's very important. I like to see the crowd. So I try to, you know, I've always liked to see the room and I like to see the crowd. You know, you just want to get a, it's a weird, you know, it's like people look what they look like. You're never going to be surprised. But you just are like, I just want to make sure

it's all people out there. What's going on? You're like, let me take a gander. Yeah. Justin Schultz. Do you find dirty comedy funny? I ask because you are all clean comedians.

Is there a limit for when you're listening to someone else? I remember Nate saying, if you're going to be a clean comedian, you need to keep your everyday speech clean as well. do think that's a good thing to help and even if you're a dirty comic i would try to keep it i honestly would tell you probably to do that too yeah just so when you're you're not your your curse words are not filler words right uh yeah and yeah i mean i dirty comics are my favorite comics not everybody's going to be clean.

They're not of them. You know, I don't think anybody, everybody do what, do you, whatever you are. I understand people grew up in New York and I mean, they curse and they curse around their family and their parents. It's just, they, they grew up cursing. It's not to them. It's they, that's all they would ever know. So they're going to talk like that. So, and I understand, you know, when the South or. So they're going to talk like that. And I understand when the

South or anywhere, you're going to be a little bit more, we didn't curse as much and you didn't hear it as much. So yeah, I find it all funny, but it would be, I would say you can work on your everyday speech is a good way to help you because you're at least trying to be conscious of it every day. And even if you're dirty it's good in case you do have to go do a clean set or you go do a talk show or where you can't go curse and you know there's going to be something you're going to be on tv doing something so it'd be good to be able to be in control of it yeah well the club i started in uh i mean they were a nightmare but the only good thing that they did was all the open micers you had to be clean

to do open mic so even if you were going to the open micers, you had to be clean to do open mic. So even if you were going to be a dirty comic later, you had to be clean whenever you're doing open mic. So the open mic was entirely clean. And so that way, when the comics would progress to like a house MC or a feature, they were who they were. It wasn't like you said, just kind of throwing things around frivolously. Everything was planned out. Yeah yeah that's a good idea let's do that uh scott sours i was watching justin smith special coronation and i could not help but hear a good laugher the laugh made me laugh my question to you guys is do you like a good laugher or is it distracting when you're on stage

uh yeah no good laughter is great. There's a thing where it can be. I think I talked about it. I had to take a guy out in the last special that had a very unique laugh. He's a great laugher, but he was near the microphones. And so he's in there, but we definitely had to bring it down. And I didn't want him in as much because it would just it would have been too distracting continuity yeah yeah that's more of a i mean but like when you're doing a show it's great because it's great and they do

make people laugh around you know yeah but i mean you can yeah people can laugh and then you tell a story about a yeah a woman i can't do it on stage i didn't do it right now but it's an old joke oh okay okay i thought you told her on the podcast but maybe not i don't think so okay uh but yeah yeah she was distracting she was distracting when my first shows ever did and so i'd say it sometimes on on the uh road yeah it's usually when i'm rebuilding a new hour that one kind of comes around. The old safety net. Yeah.

That you could, you know, that just sits there and you just kind of go and fall into it. But yeah, she had a crazy first year. And it was a problem. We had to put a stop to it. And yeah, it's crazy. We never saw her again. Never saw her again. Brett Upson.

Called the episode about being a Vandy fan and the punter being the MVP. That was me. Crazy four years of football. It takes a lot to be a Vandy fan, but, man, it's rewarding when we do win. Keep up the good work. There he is. How about that? How about that?

MVP. That was the game where you got into the stadium early. Yeah. Got into the stadium early. Watch Brett Upson kill it. Mm-hmm. That's probably because the punters are out there first. So there's a good chance that y'all were eye to eye.

Oh, yeah. Me and Brett were alone in the stadium. That's crazy. Getting practice in. That's crazy. He listens to the podcast. Yeah. Well, we're glad to have you, Brett.

Last week we had, you know, two weeks ago we talked about that Alaska Airlines flight where the door flew off. Somebody on that flight listens to our podcast. Oh, really? And wrote in and sent us a picture. She was right across from the window. Wow. Yeah.

What did she say? She said it wasn't a door, actually. It was a window that maybe used to be a door and they'd sealed it up or something. Just the whole thing came off. Those Boeing 737s, they just, something else happened. Yeah.

Yeah. They got a whole... I don't, I mean, you know. What's the thing where they call the... If they had to get it back? Recall? Yeah.

Boeing recalls all 737s. I think when a plane is 55 years old. You get a notification you're on the plane. What's this? You're in the middle of the air. Boeing's recalling this plane. Can you imagine that captain's update? Yeah.

You're just sitting there going, hey, folks, we thought we were going to go to Houston. It turns out the FAA is recalling this whole plane. I'm going to be honest, folks. We weren't going to make it. That left engine's been smoking for quite a while. Bart Scarborough. My whole family was driving to Florida during the Christmas break.

Lots of time on the road. So we had a chance to listen to four episodes. Before we even started the first one, my wife said, have y'all ever noticed how when Nate starts an argument, he says, first off, A. Oh, he says, first off, A, and then never mentions B. Then in all four episodes, he did that very thing. Wondered if y'all had noticed.

Well, first off, A, mind your business. That's very funny. Yeah, that is very funny. I didn't notice. Yeah. None of these are new about the... No, because I didn't know we were going back, so I thought, what's the point? Just move on.

Move on, yeah. Yeah, I kept it. Dusty does not know. I texted Aaron. Oh, telling him we were going back? Yeah. I don't think Dusty, if he knew, we were cutting it short. Yeah.

He had no idea. He didn't know it was a difference. Yeah. Yeah, so that's why you picked these. I don't think people think we were avoiding comments about that stuff. Yeah. Well, I mean, I kind of was again because I thought, what's the point? Yeah.

If I knew we were going to go back, I would just lay it into you. Yeah. The worst ones. Well, I don't know. We'll read those next week. Yeah. Brandon Melschert. Melschert. Melschert.

Melschert. My wife and friends tell me that it is rude to order food at the Sonic drive-thru. They say the drive-thru is for drinks only. If you want food, you go to the carport spots where they have to bring it out to you. Thoughts, please. That's going to be all right. Thoughts, please. I'm sure you wrote more and you took it out.

That's basically it. There you go. Go. You go, well. First of all, this is an Oklahoma business, so I have lots of thoughts on this. Yeah, I was saving this one for you. Oh, did you really pick this out for me? No, I saved the Scott Sauer one for you, but this one.

Thank you. Go ahead. Nothing for Mike. Thank you, man. You didn't do anything for Mike. No. Well, look, there's just nothing. Mike's not very memorable. but thank you go ahead nothing nothing for mike thank you you didn't do anything for mike now well look there's just nothing mike's not very memorable that's what brian's trying to say you know yeah your time's coming up yeah no i think i think that anybody using the drive-thru

at sonic is it's insanity it's supposed to be a drive-in you're supposed to pull up they have an app you can order your food and pull in and you say you're i'm there yeah using the drive-thru is just it's it dishonors the memory of what sonic is sonic is supposed to be like a drive-in it's supposed to be a fun thing you're supposed to your car hop supposed to come out you're supposed to tip them it's supposed to be a whole thing it's the way it's always been that's why it's been around so using the drive-thru all together isrilege. I think that's why it's always open. Yeah. I only use the drive-thru.

No, I don't. I just want to say I've never done it. It's, uh, I didn't know they had one. And then I recently saw the drive-thru and I was like, Oh,

I didn't think about that. And then I thought about going through it one night, but I felt too uncomfortable. Yeah. You just got to pull into the car. I was like, I either pre-order it on the app. And the app's great. Yeah. That's fantastic. Yeah. uncomfortable. Yeah. You just got to pull into the car. Yeah. I was like, I either pre-order it on the app. And the app's great.

Yeah. The app's fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. And then you press it and you park in the thing. I enjoy sitting there for a second and, you know, just being like,

all right, wait, they bring you the food out and you go. Yeah. But why did you feel uncomfortable? Because it's just, I've never done it there. A drive-thru?

Yeah. And it would feel not asonic. I just assume it's like any other drive-thru? Yeah. And it would feel not at Sonic. I just assume it's like any other drive-thru. It is. But I just feel like we have a rapport that we're not supposed to be doing it like this. I've never had a Sonic person really be next to my window, ever. In the history of me going to Sonic, they've never been all up on me because they have to kind of hand you the food over.

they've never been all up on me because they have to kind of hand you the food over and some reason i thought it feels too personal to go through the drive-through at a sonic because they we've already we've done 50 years of this other way that i don't feel comfortable back in my day they would bring out trays and they'd have a little place to put your tray on. Yeah, but I think they still have the trays. If you were like, I'm eating here. I think if you're like, I'm eating here. I'm eating in my car. You would do the trays. I don't think they have the trays anymore.

They took just bags. I wrote a lot of letters about it. I'm sad you made me say that. It was a big thing. They got rid of the trays at Sonic. What trays? You used to be able to put a thing on your car, and then they just put your food. It was kind of like open.

I never did that. Yeah. Like, I always get my food. They used to do, like, roller skates, too. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, I remember that. I wish they still do roller skates. Some still do.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think it's just up to the person. Yeah. I mean, I remember once I would. But the problem is that Sonics aren't the same everywhere. Right. In Oklahoma, the closer you are to a corporate of a business, the better that chain is going to be.

When I started going to Sonics on the East Coast, in New York or whatever, I was like, what is this? There's Son's in Nashville. We went to one time and they were just trying to not understand our order so that they wouldn't have to make it. I literally ordered a medium fry and then she's like, peach slush!

I mean, the most opposite of the thing it could be. It was crazy. I couldn't... You just had to give up. There's no way to get out of it. I mean, the most opposite of the thing it could be. It was crazy. And I just couldn't. You just had to give up. There's no way to get out of it whatsoever. Yeah, we get a Sonic Blast a lot from there.

I like their burger. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, it's good. What do you tell us about e-bikes? Yeah, you can take an e-bike up to Sonic. Yeah. No matter how you're doing in 2024, electric e-bikes can help you go the distance. From commutes to adventures, all riders can explore this new year with electric e-bikes.

i i have to know if i go to somebody's party i gotta know like what type of food situation is gonna be yeah because i can't i mean i've gone to so many parties where it's just like it's just i i have to know where your food plan is at sure because that like that's about there's like four days in my in my year where I just let it all go. I had cork, you know? Like, I mean, like, I'll drink a regular soda. Yeah, like, and Super Bowl's one of those. Like, I'll drink a regular Pepsi.

Like, I go all in. Like, not, I mean, just, I go, this is, like, the Super Bowl's it, though. Thanksgiving? It's from, it's the pre-show all the way to the end. Commercials, I want to spread uh-huh and so i want to be able to like tell you what i found that surprising uh yeah i was like i don't believe that what i believe every single day how do you not believe that you don't believe just it goes i need you to fax me a menu before i need to know what you're having and what the situation is.

Because if I get over there and there's 20 meatballs with toothpicks in them, and that's it. You're going to be upset. Yeah. I'm going to be more than upset. What would you do? I've trusted you with one of the biggest days in my year. I trusted you.

This is your holiday. It's one of my holidays. That's hilarious. Because it's the last day of football it's the last day of like real yeah it is even though i don't i still think the college football championship is the actual end of football sure because i think nfl is kind of going like it's more entertainment now yeah like i like the whole taylor swift thing i love it because it's like it's pushing the nfl to where I think it should be.

Like the NFL should be like WWE, like professional wrestling. It should be like all entertainment. It should be all fun. If it all, we scripted the, what the season is going to be like, fine,

do that. Like I just make it, make it fun. Like it's so much fun. Yeah. Let college football be. Oh, I don't know if I agree.

College football is turning into a problem. And I think the NFL has become better. Yeah, they have gotten a lot better. The NFL is pretty great. I mean, if they would have scripted it, too, they would have had Chiefs in. I think they would have had Chiefs in. But you would have had the Lions in. Yeah.

And then you would have had Eminem and Taylor Swift. I didn't even think about that. I was thinking about Baltimore because of Harbour. I mean, if you're just looking at if someone wants something, if they're saying the NFL scripted, which I don't believe. But what's more beautiful of a script than having the last player taken in a draft and everybody thinks he can't do it and then making him. I agree.

That is. But the other one is eminem and taylor swift which is two audiences that you want you're you're the yeah you're the two biggest stars kind of in the biggest football game like they would have shown them a thousand times i saw because people were getting upset about you know that there's what i saw someone the i thought i liked the point they made where they were like, it'd be like if they showed Travis Kelsey at the Oscars after every clip. Or last night at the Grammys. The Grammys.

Yeah. If you watched the Grammys last night and just every single time was a cutaway to Lamar Jackson. Yeah. And you're like, some woman's like, what is that? Who cares about, why is Lamar Jackson there? And you're like, well,

he's a football player and he's dating a singer. And you're like, they would never show that. So I understand that's, people are gonna get upset, but I, you know,

overall it's like. My daughter loves it. Yeah. I mean, I'll tell you what, the, the, I like the people that love it,

love it. And so I'm, I like when someone loves it and there's a group that they love it i'm saying there's also it also makes makes it crazy because like you could have like a it could set up for something like amazing she's got an album coming out soon yeah so imagine her and travis break up next year He comes back to the Super Bowl as a player. She comes back as the performer. She's dating the opposing quarterback.

Oh, I said they get back together. Yeah. He runs out there at halftime. But here's the thing. At halftime, she debuts the new song about their breakup. First time it's ever been done. Yeah. Are you telling me the NFL wouldn't be great scripted?

But then he comes out after that. At the end of the game, he comes out and says, Taylor, I want you back. I made a mistake. I made a mistake. You see what I'm saying, guys? You see how great it would be scripted? Yeah.

Then his song is like, I made a mistake. That sounds like Taylor Swift's song. Mistake. Mistake, mistake, mistake. Mistake was made. Mistake was made. Mistake was made. And then, you know, Travis has a song he raps or something. I'm telling you, it's all there.

Travis Kelsey. Who do you think is the most famous person in the NFL? Tom Brady. Current player. Patrick Mahomes. That's who I would say. But, like, people like your sister don't know Patrick Mahomes, but they know Travis Kelsey.

Oh, now. Yeah. Yeah. I would say Tyree Kills up there. I thought we were just doing off of skill. You're out of your mind. Yeah. Why?

Because he's an Oklahoma State guy? No. Yeah. Well, hey, I didn't even think about that, but that makes sense why you said it. Tyree Kill. There you go. I think it's Stephon Diggs.

You're like, what are you talking about? Well, here's the thing is what other player do you know that whenever they score a touchdown is trickled into other players doing it? No one even knows. He's at the Dolphins. I mean, I'm talking about to be most famous, you've got to be – Tyreek Hill is famous but the most famous

global yeah you gotta be you gotta get people that are like if they if you go to someone that never watches football

and you go football say something say name a person you gotta they gotta be like Peyton Manning or Joe Montana

I mean there's probably people that say Joe Montana cause they wouldn't you know they just like I don't know anything but I've heard Joe Montana's name. Exactly. You've been on the phone with Soder again.

Yeah, yeah. The Niners, yeah. So, yeah, I can't imagine. Yeah, but I could see Kelsey now. Yeah, now. I mean, him and his brother. They might be the number one and two jersey sales. Yeah.

They might be. I almost think that his brother got, like, as famous as he did. I mean, based off of the bills playoff game yeah like he was all over the place yeah and i can't tell you how many girls that i know they were like oh my gosh jason kelsey is oh he got like voted like uh most like sexist yeah or something but i'm not even talking about that i'm talking like just on the street you're like the word is oh i didn't word is. I didn't know that was the word going around. How many girls you talk to?

Where's this at? I'm just letting you know. I'm just letting you know what's happening in Charlotte Pike. You got a lot of polls out there. I'm just telling you, man. In West Nashville, the vibe's different.

They're more than Jason Kelsey. There's three Jason Kelseys in my apartment complex. West Nashville is harder than you. I'm going to tell you something right now. West Nashville is crazy. I lived in uptown Manhattan, like in Washington Heights. There are parts of West Nashville that are like,

lines up. I bet people wish this was only an hour now. Mike wishes he was leaving. I'm going to go inbound. We were just kidding, Mike. I think it's done. Y'all talking about specific streets in Nashville.

Do you guys know how the Super Bowl got its name? Have we done a Super Bowl? We've done football episodes. I don't think I've asked this. No. Should I move on? I don't know. Say how did it get started?

So there was two leagues, the NFL and the AFL, and they finally decided to play a championship game. And they called it the AFL. You can probably stop it now. I think everybody gets it. I mean, I don't know if you had to keep going. There was two leagues, and then you go, that's enough. And everybody goes, oh, okay.

Well, you'd be wrong oh really well I mean how does that get to the Super Bowl I imagine they play to fill in the Super Bowl the title like why would it be called

it was originally called the AFL NFL championship game yeah then they called it the Super Bowl just being because it was because it's super

the best of the best was that the reason well if it's a dumbed, boring version like what you guys are doing. Lamar Hunt, owner of the Chiefs, said that's a terrible name to call it, the AFL-NFL championship game. His son had a ball called the Super Bowl. He said we should call it something like the Super Bowl. And because of his son's toy

that's why it's called the super bowl crazy man yeah all right that's my best factoid so you're done with those donuts yeah you want one i'm not gonna eat on camera i thought it was interesting it's yeah no it isn't yeah i think it's very interesting like the media ran so the first three years arrived for a in a car ride for a long time. No one said anything. Random facts, man. Random facts. I don't know about people listening.

This amount of people. This amount of people listening. See, this is what the fans were saying about you. A trivia night at the pub, maybe. You want to know why I was trying to cut it to an hour? Look what I'm doing. I mean, getting handed nonsense. I think that's very interesting.

A 25-minute conversation about he was going. He thought he was going. Everybody felt he was going. I was. He was like, let me tell you. Let's talk about the AFL a little bit. This is when I started watching football. I got to say, I feel for Brian sometimes because he's got a whole paper there

filled with stuff. I can't wait to hear it. It's like the professor, the first time you write a paper, and he just goes in there and just writes an X over all the paragraphs. And you're like, all right, well, that didn't take it. Yeah. That was my most interesting fact. That was the top one?

Well. He does them in order, and he starts with one first. And then it's all downhill from there. Last year's Super Bowl was the most watched super bowl of all time and a lot of things i read say it was the most watched tv event in america ever uh now according to this wikipedia the moon landing first moon landing was the most watched event in this last year's super bowl was second i don't know if they'd show the moon landing right no we're just showing off you think we go back to the moon?

You think they're going to show it on regular TV? At least on the cable news network. That's what I mean. No, I think they'll show it on the regular. You think they're going to have a break-in. Here's us going on the moon.

Everybody's going to... No one's going to watch it. No, no. No one will watch it. There's too many channels. There's too many channels. There's too many ways to see it. You don't think people would watch

the first time we've been to the moon? The first time? Oh, yeah. If they go down. Sorry, he's not here channels There's too many ways to see it You don't think people would watch The first time we've been to the moon? The first time Oh yeah If they go there Sorry he's not here Dusty that's right You guys are wrong about the Super Bowl fact Everyone's going to love that

You're wrong about this You guys are all 0 for 2 We'll telecast it People will watch it It'll be a huge deal You will watch it Younger people The people they

I would say My age and younger I'm 44 just by then you'll be 45 yeah so that's when we're going back well we'll see yeah all right so say it's 40 so say it say it's now 44 and under i mean i don't think a a single person in the 30s is watching the moon landing because a it's the second one if you believe in that right now there's been a few i thought we went once yeah we went a few times do we so we didn't even show those yeah so why would we show this one so what are you y'all watch the eighth time we've been on the moon we probably showed it it was just the first one that was such a big deal the guys

why would they care now but wouldn't it be cool to see it in hd but they could i don't i mean you don't even believe what they're seeing anymore when was the last time we went uh like 1970 or something you would have to have a reveal like to show like a bucky's is up there right you know like they as they they're paying the camera like is that a bucky's and it's buckucky's. It's been up there for years. You don't think a man walking on the moon for some 57 years is going to be...

We threw something on Mars and no one cares. That wasn't a human. I mean, I'm saying... If a human went to Mars, I think people would care. Sure. But I don't think

they would care for the moon. I think they think we've been to the moon a thousand times. I guess I was wrong, but I think most people would be like, what, we've not gone to the moon?

No, I think you three are dumb and the rest of America don't care about it. I only thought we went once. That was it. Yeah. I'm on team moon right now. All right. All right. Well,

I'm, I'm, I'm saying like an event, like it was the first time it's not going to be, well, I don't know. I'm saying they show it, but no one's going to watch it.

I don't think anybody watches it. People see a clip of it online. That's it. I got it. I know how we do it. I know how we make the moon thing landing go. We sponsored by Red Bull. You make it an event.

You go, hey, a guy's going to ride a dirt bike for the first time. Matt Hoffman. Matt Hoffman's going to ride a dirt bike on the moon. Now, if that's happening, somebody's going to watch it. You see what I'm saying? You just got to sell it. You just got to pitch it. If you're just walking on the moon. You just got to work on your pitch. Noman's going to ride a dirt bike on the moon. Now, if that's happening, somebody's going to watch it. You see what I'm saying? Like, you just got to set. You just got to pitch it. If you're just walking on the moon,

you just got to work on your pitch. I don't want to see that. People want to see, we're taking a... A dirt bike. We're doing the monkey thing again. Right. And you go,

all right, I'll watch that. You're going to put another monkey in there. See what he does. Guess what? John Mayer is doing a concert on the moon. Yeah. People are on board.

Yeah. There's no sound because of grab is that would there be sound there wouldn't be i don't think so i don't know would there be probably not i thought that was maybe one of the most i would i was getting ready to and then i was i was getting ready to get on it and then be like and i was like i don't know where does that sound but i think it was also they were so quiet. I was like, I don't know.

Maybe they're not. Maybe it is. Maybe there's no sound. Oh, I don't want to go either way with that because I'm not sure. Okay, well, I'll go with it.

There's no sound? I don't think there's sound in space. I've heard that before. Yeah, but then how do they talk on the radio? Did you hear the rumors about it? Well, I mean,

in the streets. You heard in the streets. Mike, throughout Mike's life, he goes, I've heard a couple times that people say there's no sound in space.

It's no book. It's no nothing. I'm telling you, the streets knows everything. He goes, out and about. Yeah. And a lot of people

don't think there's sound in space. I got my ear to the ground. Yeah. So wait, wait, wait, wait. Just to go back on it. Is there a sound in space yeah i don't think so i don't either i don't think so i think they can talk on microphones and helmets over a radio that's what i'm saying that's all you would be doing if you did a if you did a concert

you'd be you wouldn't you know you'd still have the mask and everything on right so that i mean you wouldn't be i think if a guy if we send someone to mars that will be the you know, you'd still have the mask and everything on. Right. So that, I mean, you wouldn't be, I think if a guy, if we send someone to Mars, that will be the most watched thing ever. Oh,

I agree. I don't think the other plan. I don't. Yeah. Yeah. I think the moon been there, done that. Right.

I think you asked on a earlier episode, if we'd ever been to Mars, a human. Yeah. And we have. Yeah. I thought that was the whole thing. Cause we were making a big deal about going to Mars. Right. So I thought I was a human going there. Like i thought that was the whole thing because we're making a big deal about

going to mars right so i thought i was a human going there like now we're sending like a you think aaron's listening to this beetle bug and just it's just driving him crazy well he's probably not listening yeah and dusty he would really uh according to this there is no sound in space but uh no one really knows because you can't take your helmet off that's true that's true you can't prove it I don't know I don't know

it's a tree in the forest type thing yeah but anyway looks like like 24 out of the top 30 telecast of all time in America

have been Super Bowls so it's a big dose 330 million Americans and 115 million people watched the Super Bowl last year so

that's a lot. MASH is 13. Yeah, it's crazy that MASH is still up, you know. Richard Nixon's, what is it? Resignation speech. Yeah, it's crazy that that stuff is still up there. I mean, you would think, I mean, now I don't know if anything will ever, I guess Super Bowl, but it's going to be so spread out, you know,

in mash. That's 1983. Think about how fewer people there were in America. Yeah. 30 years ago, even more impressive. Yeah. I mean, you know, when they always say that percentage of like, you know, it's the people on social media, it's like 5% of the countries on social media and they, and you're like,

well, who is these people not? Or like, you know, like someone doesn't have phones. You're like, who doesn't? Where are these people living that don't have phones? Like, they make it sound like it's 3% of America has a phone. Right. And then you're like, most of the country doesn't have a phone. People in jail have phones.

Yeah. Yeah, that's the poll stuff that you're like, what? Yeah. Well, even the Super Bowl. So that's basically like a third of america watches super bowl but who are the two-thirds that don't because i don't know anybody that doesn't watch the super bowl i mean i could see there's people that don't care like you know and they don't they probably like they're just not into sports and so if you're not into sports, you're just, it's like the commercials, halftime show.

It's an event. I know, but it's like the Grammys, the Grammys for some people, the Oscars people never met. And there's been times where you could be like, Oh, I didn't even realize it was on last night. Yeah. I don't like watch award shows. I don't like. Yeah.

There you go. But the Superbowl is not a word show. No, but it's a big event. The Oscars is a giant. Oscars is probably on there somewhere. Maybe not. But I feel like the Oscars is like one caveat. You can have the halftime show, so that's something.

And then the people that do commercial, that's a different. There are all different types of people that bring in. Grammys is only music people. Oscars is only if you watch movies. They're not going to play a football game in the middle of the Grammys. They're not going to have a field goal kicking contest.

That's like a whole... Yeah, they're doing a field goal kicking contest. Pat McAfee might save it. If they did a football field goal contest in the Grammys. Yeah. Yeah. That could save it. That's fun.

When I was a kid, we used to memorize that part of the commercial. Really? And we used to say it. Just say it to each other? Yeah.

Yeah. I didn't have a good upbringing, Mike. I'm just going to tell you right now. It wasn't good for me. He was around gambling a lot. Yeah, yeah. The streets were rough, even when I was a child. I bet your dad didn't say any of that stuff. No.

No, he didn't. He didn't tell people to do it. Yeah. Because Justin, when they walk in, say this stuff to them. Yeah. And then they walk into this illegal casino. And little Justin's there. Call 1-800-GRAMBLER.

Visit WWW.NET. New York. Call all seven. I love this because most people complain about ads being too long. We're the only podcast where we complain about the ads being too long. I just don't understand. Who's doing this? I don't understand who's doing this yeah all right i don't understand that's that doesn't make sense yeah like that that stuff is they have to do it i'm not saying it's our commercial right but even the commercials on tv you're like what are you

doing dude like what's because the biggest profession in america is a lawyer so you have you have all these lawyers being you know coming into america now that's the biggest profession in america is a lawyer so you have you have all these lawyers being you know coming into america now that's the biggest profession is that true yeah one of our biggest exports in america is lawyers that's why every major college has a law school i don't know if you export people yeah huh do people say that yeah it's like it's what's what you it's what your country's known for we're known you mean we send lawyers to other countries yeah we said we like oklahoma sorry old habit uh no america their biggest export is lawyers really like we we create more lawyers than any other place in the world i would have never guessed that i don't know if i've ever heard it used as

people right as an export yeah but like i mean you you if you create like it's kind of like entertainers like america has the best entertainers in the world so like we're we're getting consumed like we consume them all over the world even though like i mean like you look at like australia like australia has a huge land mass but it's like they come here for media yeah and it's the same thing with law like we have all these great law schools here and it's our it's like they come here for media. Yeah. And it's the same thing with law. Like we have all these great law schools here and it's our thing. I'm saying actually using the word export for people. Like I would think if you're like a bar of soap, that's the biggest export.

But you're saying actual human beings. I'm standing on this hill. I mean, I'm dug in. So human beings. Exports. Exports. Law lawyers are we're pumping them out sending them out the world yeah we're going they're going everywhere yeah yeah because we keep creating more and more yeah i could be done this crispy cream how many you got left

i did seven uh i left one chocolate iced and three glazed. I beat my record last time, and I've eaten pizza today. Not bad. So it's not bad, but we could be. I mean, I can see. It could maybe have been an hour 20 in the podcast, so I can see. But we could be. I just want you to know I believe in you. Eric is going to be furious.

Oh, yeah. But it's for the people. But it's for the people but it's for the people for the people yeah don't let eric bring us down all right that's it for the oh go ahead so it's the uh 20 year anniversary of jenna jack's award roll malfunction oh yeah justin where were you when this happened uh i was not near a TV. I remember that. Because I remember everybody, we were watching at church. We had a church party. Yeah. And it was up on the big screen.

And I just hear everybody just go, oh! And I was like, oh, no. I missed something. And I'm just thinking, oh, what could it be? Yeah. And then I walked into, by the way, Christian, all like Christian youth group people. These are like people that come for the Super Bowl. So these are like Christian kids.

Like they're the cream of the crop, Christian kids. So, but nobody will tell me what happened. So I didn't know for a whole day. I just thought she like did something crazy or whatever because like they go we're not we don't want something whatever like they just kept swipping it under the rug yeah yeah and i i didn't know about it until i had to go to the school the next day and then everybody else was like it was awesome you can even like then google it no i mean well dude i'm you i grew up way different like we didn't have a computer in our house at that age.

So I had no concept of it until I got to school the next day. And that was different. Yeah. All right. What's another one? Do you have something about it? I don't know which one. I was with my wife.

I mean, I told her to leave the room so I could, you know, because she didn't need to watch that. Yeah. I don't want her watching that film. Well, ticket prices

for this year's Super Bowl on SeatGeek are about $12,000. Cheapest tickets just under $10,000. Overall, at least on SeatGeek, it's 36% higher

than last year I think because in Vegas I thought I heard it was dropping according to this yeah yeah

$10,000 is a lot yeah I mean these things stuff's getting to where money

you're like what do we that's what scares me about money is that's hearing that you're like money is getting toward like, these are hilariously absurd.

Well, fans aren't being able to go anymore. Right. Yeah. But I mean, but then I don't trust who's out of that. The people that are buying this, you're like, well, who, what company? Right. You tell me you have enough money that you're buying the i don't think people are buying these tickets it's i you know these corporate like i don't think i think they're that much you won't have people in there right and it's legit like it's like loose on who's getting

into these things and it's like you know it's celebrities or it's i mean i've gone to some things so i'm not sure but it's like you can be – it's just like, well, who is there then? And then if it's $10,000, who is at the game? Exactly. I don't know who's there. Because how many $10,000 people are there that you can go – and if you're a corporation, if one ticket's $10,000, I mean, a suite is $250,000.

So how many of these corporations, what's the money? Well, guys don't understand where the money, you know, it seems like it's make-believe. Yeah, I don't know either. Like college games are getting like that, which is crazy. Yeah.

When you think about it, like for school, like they're charging these kinds of prices for it. I mean, that's, but it's also Seeky. Yeah, yeah. So it's, I mean, that's... But it's also Seeky. Yeah. So that is not the Super Bowl, I'm sure. Like you said, because I have people say that about my tickets. I'm not in control of the... Whatever the system is, it's not a great system, but you can go get on my mailing list.

Pre-sell. Pre-sell. When I announce the pre-sell stuff, if you want to... I'm saying if you really want, some people don't care. Some people, you buy tickets off the Seat Geeks and the whatever. I'll tell you, a lot of people buy tickets. But if you want it, the regular price, it's like you do. You got to just go through the website, go through the thing price, it's like you do. You got to just be – go through the website. Go through the thing.

And they're putting it out there. But once it gets grabbed up and then it gets into this world where it's $10,000. And I guess that's it. It's SeatGeek. It's not really even the NFL. It's like – What's that? It's a company in its own sense that they're just charging this crazy thing.

But I just find it – I think there's also things too, like, like each team has like an allotment for their fans. Yeah. So like, like when you, like my mom has Oklahoma state season football tickets. So whenever they go to a game based on how many tickets and how many years you've bought, like points you have, you get like, you're ranked in order. Yes.

So if you're a niners fan and you've had season tickets for 40 years you probably get first dibs on tickets and those tickets i mean i imagine super bowl tickets are probably a thousand a piece like ticket price yeah is a thousand a piece yeah but i mean you get that's but what happens is people get those tickets and they turn around and they sell them and that's when it gets crazy yeah here's an article from eight hours ago said uh average price is currently 9 300 cheapest is 5400 for a ticket so maybe it is going down to stub hub yeah that's 5400 i mean that's stub hub though and so it's yeah it is regular tickets are. So what you're paying for is the, is the fact that you didn't do the things you were supposed to do.

I mean, a big way to, I don't know if there's an easy way to do it, but it is like, if you want to go to something, it's like try to get ahead of that. Whoever the person you're trying to go see, sign up for whatever you got to sign up for them. And you can, you will get tickets that are the price that they're supposed to be at.

But I mean, if it's a Super Bowl, they're going to get bought up because of all this other stuff until they get all that StubHub and all that stuff figured out. But I mean, StubHub is an advertisement on NFL now. When do they start selling tickets for the Super Bowl? I'm sure you can buy them.

I think it's the day they come out. I don't think you can buy them. I guarantee there's a release date before they know who it is. I bet there's not. I bet you there is. Do you get a raffle or something? I bet you five donuts. Yeah, there's only four.

But when you go to a bowl game like in college, like the national championship game, which is going to sell out. Right. You can buy national championship tickets when the season starts. So I imagine – because like there are people that go to the Super Bowl. I'm telling you. I think that there's – you can buy them early. Whenever.

Like whenever the season starts. But then you would buy. Then the problem is that StubHub is going to can buy them early. Whenever. Like whenever the season starts. But then you would buy. Then the problem is that StubHub is going to go buy them and just sit on them and then sell them. Yeah, it's got to be. I don't know. But I think it's like flights, like flights and hotel rooms. Like if you wait the week before you got to fly somewhere, your flight's going to be crazy. The point of it is they're going to charge that much.

is they're going to charge that much. I mean, there's like when I go hotels, and if you look at an event in a hotel in a city and they know that there's going to be a big event there, that price is insane that week because they know it's a demanding week. And then the next week will be cut in three quarters. So it's a lottery. You got to get in it.

Yeah. It says there's four. This is just from Reddit. Yeah. Enter a ticket lottery, which deadlines June 1st. What? Each team gets allotted

a few thousand tickets, which they make available to season ticket holders. Be a corporate sponsor or secondary market. Those sound like things I said earlier, right? Sound like what you said.

Sound like what I said? Sound like what you said. Sound like what I said? Sound like what you said. This year's Super Bowl ad, 30-second ad, costs between $6.5 million and $7 million. There's one there. I don't know if you guys saw their editing because Carl Weathers was in it. Oh, yeah. Really? That's crazy.

You got to take him out? I think you got to leave him in. Why wouldn't you leave him in? Like an homage to the dude. Like he's the man. Carl Weathers is the man. Yeah. I know.

I'm not doing the editing. I'm getting nervous. I know. But what if it's like Carl Weathers is like, come meet me. And they're like. I saw the commercial because they released it early. It's Gronk walking through the desert. And then Carl Weathers pulls up like a car and says, get in.

Oh, I saw that. They're already showing it. Yeah. That's the thing. They're showing these commercials. I know. They, they're, it's, all of it is, you know why the, why I'm saying the big event thing, this is going back to these, because they're ruining the big event.

The Super Bowl, that's why sports will always be this big event because it can't be leaked because it's a live event and it's a game. So it's the only thing left, sports are the only thing left where you don't know the outcome and it doesn't get leaked. I mean, you can say award shows and stuff like that, but I mean, it's like award shows doing where you're like, I don't even know what this movie. I've never even heard of this movie. And it's, you know, up for an Oscar.

But that's the problem. And so, like, in these commercials are, I've seen that one. And so, when the Super Bowl comes, you're like, well, I've already seen this. A lot of the best ones I've already put out. But the reveal is always great. Like, I was, some of my favorite my favorite like commercials have always been like, and I also like, I don't like it when they show them after because you get the,

the, the, the beauty of it. Like the, um, what was the Betty white sneakers commercial? Yep. I remember when that,

when they aired it the first time, you're like, Oh my gosh, Betty Davis is just getting Betty white, Betty white. Sorry. Who's Betty Davis. Uh, yeah. She's Betty Davis? Who's Betty Davis?

She's a... She's a... He turned right to me. Yeah. Because he was like, so like, right, I don't know who... Yeah.

That's a big... That's a switch from... You go Betty White and then said maybe two words and then go Betty Davis. I don't even know... I get Betty White and Gina Davis confused.

Okay. So... Yeah. He was like... I don't know where we're at. The commercial with Betty White. Gina Davis confused. Okay. Yeah, he was like, the commercial with Betty White. I was watching the day Betty Davis was on it and you're like, how do you mess it up? You're like, where was your brain going? It was literally a sentence apart.

It was like Betty White, Betty Davis. That's how good of a friend Mike is that I said that. I knew what you meant. I knew what you meant. I learned that like listening to my wife.

She said stuff wrong and I just listened. And you just give her energy. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. He doesn't give energy. It's the opposite of it.

It's the opposite. He takes it. He takes the energy, your energy. I don't know. I felt it. I was feeling it. No, I think,

but I think he's comforting. Like he'll take your energy and then he calms it down right that's right puts it out sightly in the world yeah the redistribution yeah of energy yeah so you're saying they added down commercials and no no what i'm saying is is that when that first that commercial hit the first time you watched it, it was amazing. But then they just kept airing it, so its specialness wasn't... You saw it in the Super Bowl, and then you just never saw it again. That's the way they used to do commercials.

And now it's like they just keep replaying it. That Snickers commercial, which was like, you're blown away when you watch it. And then they keep replaying it. Called a Budweiser. Yeah. But if you spend that much money, I think they kept like you're like you're blown away when you watch it and then they keep replaying it called a bud wiser yeah yeah but i mean but if you spend that much money i think they kept always kept playing it yeah because if you spend that much money you're going to keep playing it yeah you're not

going to and then you want to see it again because you're like oh and then you remember it because they're spending so yeah but it used to not be like it wasn't as bad as like it is now where it's like you see it before then you see see it during, then you see it after. Yeah. It wasn't before. They're releasing them before. Yeah. So now all the commercials, there'll be an article somewhere that comes out that says, here's the top commercial.

They're already out. Yep. They're already, nothing is held back anymore. Right. And so there's no waiting for anything. No delayed gratification. Yes. That is gone. Yeah. And that's bad no waiting for anything. No delayed gratification. Yes. That is gone.

Yeah. And that's bad for the world. Yeah. And everything that you can do. You shouldn't be able to get whatever you want. I mean, I'm trying to work on that. Immediately. Food.

I'm going to talk about it now, but I have a problem with it with food. I shouldn't be allowed. And it's me. I allow myself to go, well, I want this, and I can go get it now. And DoorDash, you're like, well, I'll just go get it. I can get it, whatever you want. Amazon. Anywhere.

You can get it. I can get it now. So you've got to learn to put, I'm doing it. I'm having to learn to go, I don't want. You know what? I can't go have this because I don't need it. I don't want it. I don't.

Because there's nothing. I mean, it's really crazy. Yeah. what i can't go have this because i don't i i don't need it i don't want it i don't because you can there's nothing i mean it's really crazy yeah you get it with a phone oh yeah whatever they want whatever you want you dream it up it doesn't even it can be anything and everything and you can you just have the blink of a hat you can be like i'll get it what's in your pocket blink of a hat blink of a hat i know what you meant i hat. I knew what you meant, man. I knew it. You see what I'm doing? See, yeah.

Just take it, man. Bette Davis. She always wore a hat. You know what I used to wear for during the Super Bowl was the Jordan commercials. I don't know if you remember the- Michael Jordan? I've heard about him. Like he used to-

The Bugs Bunny one. Right. Well, he used to always like, it would always be the new shoe that would come out. Oh, really? Yeah, and they would have the commercial during Super Bowl. Used to love those. See what shoes I weren't going to get. I'm going to tell you something.

The thing I miss the most is, like, the chaos of the halftime show. Because I don't know if you've ever watched, like, the old halftime shows, but they're just chaos. It's just pure chaos. Like, chaos like it's crazy like how old are you talking like 90s like go to like the first televised ones and you'll see it just it's it's like now it's like everything's so planned out everything like there's laser lights and everything's timed and i watched i watched like the first one it was like 1991 and it was like four right no i mean we watched it on youtube sam and i did sam and i did this thing where we went all the way back yeah yeah my girlfriend yeah you give us a good trick sam's wife's cousin

but I mean we went back and we watched and like it's just crazy because it's all chaos there's these kids wearing like football outfits and then all of a sudden all these Disney characters come out and then like Reagan or no George Bush is there

doing like a weird thing and then New Kids on the Block shows up like I mean i'm telling you it's the crazy you're like it's the craziest thing you've ever seen did they always tell you who was this yeah well i'll share my little factoid for the third time with these guys uh so the halftime show used to be like that like nothing disney kids whatever and then one year in living color at halftime they did a live show and everybody switched over to living color yeah and it affected so much the next year they had michael jackson as the halftime michael jackson like wrestling used to do that too yeah they do the michael jackson

thing was crazy too what if they didn't advertise it they just said where it's a surprise right i would like it would make people turn i think that would make people tune in i don't know yeah and i would think that you could ride that to be like wait didn't they do that one year i feel like they did that a couple years ago where they were just like there's always some surprise guests but with him and him and stoop dog and all they and them came out it was like a lot of different i think there's always like an unannounced yes yeah that's what it seems like look this show starts it's just a kid talking that's that's the announcer and then it's just a field filled with synchronized kids oh you gotta you gotta figure it out i mean dude it's we watched and i was like it was my favorite one the 91 one was my favorite one because it was the

at one point you see a Canadian Winnie the Pooh shout out Graham okay you know I mean it's just it's crazy that you have all these things happening it's it's chaos the whole time all right and it's the most fun yeah you can go that's 14 minutes long I think we should sit through this whole now let's watch it all. While I tell you guys about Rocket Money. If you have subscriptions you're trying to get rid of and check off your list, now's the time to do it.

If you'd asked me this question before I started using Rocket Money, I would have said yes. But let me tell you, I would have been wrong. I had way more than I thought and I was just wasting money. Doing my taxes now

and I'm looking at my expenses. I'm like, why do I have this? Rocket Money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills. Rocket Money has over 5 million users and has helped save its members an average of $720 a year with over 500 million in canceled subscriptions. Stop wasting money on things you do not use.

Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash Nate. Guys, I'm going to have to stop this. So you'll listen. Justin's over here. Sorry. I'm reliving it. All right. That's rocketmoney.com slash Nate.

Rocketmoney.com slash Nate. That made Warren Moon come out. You know how he's playing in this game. That's insane, dude. I don't have time to do this. I don't think he's in the Super Bowl. No. Who was in 91?

The Oilers never went. I was about to say. And I'm going to Disney World. Yeah. Because they've done it. And even after the first one, you're like, man, because that's almost like, can you imagine if you get, as a quarterback, you get to go, I'm going to this game. Right, right.

You can't turn it down. Yeah. It's like the whole thing with Joe Corr. I'll just pivot, I know. Yeah. But I'm just thinking about it. Like, a lot of people don't understand. Like, that's an impossible gig.

Yeah. Because you can't turn that down. Yeah. But you're going to bomb. Yeah. Like you can't turn that down. Yeah. But you're going to bomb. Yeah. Like, it's just. What if they ask you to be the halftime entertainer at Super Bowl? I'm not going to.

I have to do it. You do have to do it. Yeah. Like, who's going to say no to that? I don't know. Well, you would. Because with comedy, you just got to go, it's not going to work. Right.

You would. But I think you just got to go, I got to figure a way to make this work. Yeah. So you go, I'm not doing my stand-up. I'm going to do something. I'm going to work. Right. You would, but I think you just got to go, I got to figure a way to make this work. Yeah. So you go, I'm not doing my standup. I'm going to do something. I'm going to do something. Crowd work.

Yeah. You up there. Yeah. I'm going to, yeah. What'd you pay for those tickets? I go, all right,

what are you going to do? I go, first of all, I think we should try to get Usher. Yeah. And I will introduce Usher and then Usher will do the whole thing.

And Usher will introduce the next act. Yeah. I go, I'll just be the host and then thing. And Usher will introduce the next act. Yeah. Yeah. I go, I'll just be the host and then bring out acts. Yeah. That's smart. Yeah.

Yeah, you would have to do something like that. Henry Cho told me a story. When he just started comedy, Bon Jovi was playing in Knoxville at the Civic Arena. And this is when Bon Jovi was so big. And the opening band, the drummer or somebody broke his leg in a canoeing accident that day oh no it was on the koi river whitewater rafting so they called henry last minute and said hey will you come be the opening act for bon jovi and they paid him a lot of money and he said he went over there and he went out and said who's here ready to see bon jovi and everybody screamed

and he's like come on who's ready to see bon jovi and he everybody screamed. And he's like, come on, who's ready to see Bon Jovi? And he's like, all right, thank you very much. Here's Bon Jovi. All he did was just a little hype and get off stage. That's smart. Yeah.

Yeah, that is the way to do it. Because nobody wanted to see a comedian. Right. No. Was he supposed to do time though? I think he's supposed to do some little time. Yeah,

I've turned down concerts. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure they, I'm sure he probably talked to him and said, hey, I'm just bringing you up. Yeah. They don't want to hear me, you know.

Right, yeah. And sometimes if you just tell someone that, they're like, oh. Yeah, yeah, just bring me. Yeah, dude, it's going to be insane. Yeah. Yeah. Was it a comic they were supposed to open for them? No, it was a band, but somebody in the band broke their leg on the Kauai River that day.

Mm-hmm. He said he was at the mall and they called him and said, can you come over here? Knoxville didn't have a lot of entertainment options so when somebody gets hurt,

it was Henry. Yeah. Yeah. The first Super Bowl was televised on two different networks. NBC and CBS both carried it.

What year was that? I i'm not good 1967 so i had a substitute teacher that played in the first super bowl he played for green bay oh really yeah he showed me the ring and everything wow yeah it was crazy the first super five i'd believe that guy if he bought a fake ring. Oh, yeah. I didn't even think. It seems. What are the odds that you, your substitute teacher, what was his name? I don't remember. I didn't even fact check. I mean, a substitute teacher is a perfect job to come in and go, this ain't my main gig. I also played in the first Super Bowl in 1967.

And, I mean, how old could this guy have been? You're younger than me, right? I told a lot of people that, too. Aren't you 42? Yeah. Yeah. Your guy would have to play. He had big hands, dude, and the ring fit perfectly.

That's true. Maybe he did. Maybe he did. I like to think he did. Yeah. I'm going to go with that. Did you act the whole rest of the day? I did. I like to think he did. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna go with that. Did you act it right the whole rest of the day? I did.

I think I met Jane and John Doe and I still believe it. So, I'm with you, dude. I still do the stay thing. That's their name. Yeah, I believe, though. You're ruining this for me. That was- No, I bet it is. You're right. If he's got big hands, he's got- Yeah, I mean, just- All right. A story like that's got to be true. A story like that's got to be true. A story like that's got to be true.

It felt true. I'm like, why would he be substituted? You know what I mean? You know, it's like I went to the flea market the other day, and they were selling Super Bowl rings. You could buy any Super Bowl ring. But they made no money back then, too, though. Yeah, he said that.

So, yeah, so you'd be like, why are you substituting? He's like, because they got paid nothing. Right, right, right. And if you're not one of the main, if you're not Bart Starr, then just you're, I think they probably had regular jobs. You're right. So, yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, it's plausible. So, yeah, it was carried on two different networks.

Nobody kept a copy of it because they didn't realize how big a deal the game was. So there's no, there's been no, like, video of that game, like the broadcast of it. They didn't realize how big a deal the game was. There's been no video of that game like the broadcast of it. They recorded over it with soap operas. My favorite photo is from the first Super Bowl. Have you seen where it's the

quarterback at halftime and he's a Kansas City Chief. He's smoking a cigarette and just sitting in the locker room at halftime. He's just hanging out. It's the craziest photo you'll ever see because it's like...

And he's a dude in a full football hat. Smoking a cigarette. Well, anyway, a guy found it in a copy in his dad's attic a few years ago. And they turned it over to this uh media center in new york city paley center and this saturday they got an exhibit and they're showing it to the public for the first time ever oh really the first superbowl yep yeah right how what how why did he

have it uh i mean he had some old recording device and somehow he just recorded off television oh really yeah oh wow yeah the second half kickoff nbc wasn't back from commercial yet because their interview with bob hope went long so after the kickoff they made them redo it the kickoff oh really they made them re-kick what they're like hey you got a second. The VC's not ready. Do it again. So CBS saw two kicks? Yeah. Oh, wow. Vince Lombardi, they said, was furious. Yeah.

There's something fun about, though, like that. It's crazy, though. This is even crazier. So this is the AFL versus the NFL. They had two different football brands. One of them used Wilson. The other one used Spalding. So they played with two different balls, different sizes.

Oh, wow. Whoever had the ball on offense used their ball. Different size footballs during the Super Bowl. Isn't that crazy? Everything was very logical back then. Like, you know, not in a way. There was no, it was like, we don't use that ball you're like yeah of course well then we'll just switch it and everybody yeah it's very loose like yeah well

that i mean that's that's not that crazy i mean like as a team you have team balls so like give the ones that you guys use yeah whatever your quarterback likes yeah and then i mean if you intercept the ball you just you have their ball ball i wonder if it's harder to intercept like you know it's such you just never you're not used to you're just not used to well i don't know how many forward passes there were in the first super that's true that's true a lot of a lot of a lot of straight line formations bart star and i don't know who the chiefs quarterback was but i don't know there's a photo of him smoking a cigarette in the halftime. Yeah. And it wasn't sold out. It was a 90,000 seat stadium.

They sold 60,000 tickets. Average ticket price was $12. I got to research that teacher. Yeah. I need to know those. We might get to see him.

Yeah, I'm sure. I think it was. Justin, you have a favorite Super Bowl? I don't know. That's my, I think my favorite. Justin, you have a favorite Super Bowl? I don't know. I think my favorite one that I watched that I loved the most was probably the one that will break a heart in everybody in this room. Oh, God.

Titans lost? Oh, man. Why would you watch that? Come on, man. What do you mean? It was fantastic. It was a great game. I mean, what other Super Bowl other than maybe the Cardinals and the Steelers?

What were you, 10? Yeah, I was watching it at church. Yeah. I mean, he came this close. This close. Yeah, we know. I mean, literally, it doesn't get any closer than that. Other than the end zone catch when the Steelers won.

What about the Seahawks and the Patriots? Yeah, that was better. No, because that one was – As far as just closeness. No, I don't know. That one was – because that's the thing you go, oh, that's bad coaching. You have the greatest short yardage running back of all time. I get what you're saying.

That's not that. That's two guys. He didn't run – they didn't throw him a route that was good, but he almost willed it. Literally, you watched in real time at the Super Bowl, you watched the end of the movie Friday Night Lights where he's six inches short. Every great football movie ends with either you score with an inch

or you were six inches short. You watched a live movie. You watched a movie. He wasn't really that close if we're being honest right he's about a yard and a half yeah yeah he was it was a really great tackle you could uh that's about as long of a guy as you want to have stretched out kevin dyson he tried so long but it it was like i can still picture the tackle he just grabs that knee so perfectly if he doesn't get the knee

I think Kevin can get over it how'd you feel how'd y'all feel like it hurt I mean but we were like

coming you know we don't know we're about to never win again did it make it easier the fact that it was like

it was such a new team no no I mean yeah it was just like cause such a new team no no i mean yeah yeah i mean it was just like because that that the the miracle made us like we just knew we were gonna win we were the team of destiny it was our first year in the the the arena like we knew we were gonna win and that oh that's yeah i think we thought well we thought we would keep going, too.

It just gradually got worse every year, except for that one year when, what was it, 13-3? Well, the very next year we went 13-3. The very next year? That was for our best team. That's the Ray Lewis year where he broke our hearts. Right, right, right. And the Ravens won the Super Bowl. Yeah, that's it.

And then it just got worse. Then it started going down. No, but that year when we lost, I think that was the year that Chris Johnson went for 2,000. That was also 13-3 a year. Yeah, 13-3. And also lost to the Ravens. Yeah, that's the one I was thinking about.

Because they missed his ankle up. Yeah, the... Yeah, when we lost to the Bengals, too, was... That was just a couple years ago. That was a couple years ago. That was tough for Derek because it was like... He threw in the triple coach. I don't want to talk about that. Yeah, yeah.als, too. That was just a couple years ago. That was a couple years ago. That was tough for Derrick because it was like...

He threw in a triple coach. I don't want to talk about that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Justin Smith's favorite game. Sorry, buddy. It was just that. Random.

Let's watch it real quick. He goes... When I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, it felt like the Super Bowl was usually a blowout. But now, more times than not,

they're close. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of games... There's a lot of sporting events that have been blowouts, though. These playoffs have been, besides, more games have been blowouts than not. But some have been wild.

The Lions game was great. Yeah, yeah. The Lions have played great games the whole time, but the other stuff has been not great. Yeah, there's been some of the more blowouts, you know. But the 80s, the 49ers dominated, so they would blow out somebody, or the Bears

that one year. And then the 90s, the Cowboys would usually blow out the Bills in the Super Bowl. Right. Man, what are the odds? You go four times. That's so tough. And then it happens again. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How do you lose?

Yeah, I mean, it's just more impressive than winning a Super Bowl. Almost. Yeah. To go four times in a row? To go four times. Well, that team is crazy. You have Isaac Bruce on the defensive line, Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Oklahoma State boy. Andre Reid, Jim Kelly.

They had a squad. Yeah. It wasn't Isaac Reid. Mm-hmm. Jim Kelly. They had a squad, dude. Yeah. It wasn't Isaac Bruce. It was... It was Bruce. Bruce Smith. Bruce Smith. Bruce Smith, yeah.

Yeah. Isaac Bruce was a receiver for the Rams. I know what you mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you, buddy. Yeah. Thanks for that energy. Wrap it up.

Yeah. All right. We did it. We're back. We're back. We did it. We're back. We're back? We're back. A little under two, but, you know, I like it.

I don't think I'll get two right away. Yeah. We're going to earn it. We're going to slowly get it back. Where were you at before this? Like the last episode, what was the time? Oh, an hour. They did it. Yeah yeah it was hour 19 yeah yeah yeah gotcha i only technically i only did one short episode yeah then he bailed because

he couldn't handle the heat so yeah you could argue that i'm not the one i wanted to do long let's go through it in the history books of nateland who's been on the shortest episodes the most it ain't me. It ain't me. I did the Christmas Dream Challenge. Seems like no one really cared about that. But I did it. I hope you're happy. It's seven. Broke my record. So I feel

good about that. Feeling it. Should we leave it open? Maybe we should have one more of the it open. We should have one more. The entire crew. Yes. Have one. No, I'll have one later.

Yeah, I know. They know. Just trust me. I don't think I do. I've had pretty good odds. Blindly. I don't know if Justin Spitt likes donuts. Yeah.

Well, this week, we'll all be together. Yeah, man. If you come to the show, don't just come to see me. Stay for the whole show. Yeah, so many people said, just come to see you. These guys have worked hard. Give them a shot. I agree.

Yeah. Full court, like four on four. I mean, it's just – it's tough. It is tough. You know who's good? Lachlan Patterson. Is he? He dunked.

How tall is he? 6'5", something like that, 6'6". But he dunked. How tall is he? Six five, something like that, six six. But he dunked. He did. He's always a guy with flowing hair. Did he run?

Probably four steps, three steps. See, I took one step. I know. I took one step. But you went, yeah,

but I mean, it's crazy to think we got people that can dunk on this tour because we don't look like a tour that people can dunk on. Was there three of us?

Yeah, you. Yeah. Yeah yeah did you touch the net uh not now not now yeah mike told me recently uh we were talking about like when you that transition when you're the guy in your relationship or your family said the dad he said when he first dunked on his dad. Oh, yeah. Could that be more different than my family dynamic? Dude, that was so crazy when I dunked on him. Yeah. Yeah. It was, I could see, like, it was a little pride in his, but it was also, like, he hated me for that. What was yours? Like, you woke up before your dad?
