Episode Date: December 2, 2020

What qualifies as a clutch performance? How do some people have the ability to rise to the occasion and stay cool under the most stressful of circumstances? This episode, we discuss some of the great clutch performances in history. It's not just sports figures. We look at politicians, celebrities, and every day heroes who had what it took to get the job done.   Co-hosts: Brian Bates ( https://www.instagram.com/brianbatescomic) & Aaron Weber ( https://www.instagram.com/realaaronweber)   Podcast produced by Nate & Laura Bargatze Recording & Editing by Genovations Media https://www.natebargatze.com https://www.allthingscomedy.com https://www.genovationsmedia.com Email - [e-mail]

I have no energy. My voice is just a little whack. I think it's good. Yeah, it's good. Sounds good. Sounds, you know. What's up, everybody? Thanks for watching us.

We also don't have a front door to our house. Everybody liked the Laura episode. Well, let me tell you what laura did we're getting our door uh the it was like a something's coming whatever the house we bought it was came with the door this house we bought came with the door and then the like paint was coming off and it's got a lifetime warranty that they will fix it this starts the beginning of the coldest day of the year snowing outside right now yeah uh they knock on my door it's like 9 30 in the morning i get up obviously i've been awake just recently and i go to the front door for them to tell me we're about to take your front door that's what they said i had no i have no idea that this is even happening and i just laura's gone and i go hello and i open the door just for them to go we're about to take

that door and i go well it's snowing outside and they go ah we put something up and so we don't have a door all week kind of looks like a crime scene like the house is being sealed off somebody got killed here or something we're preparing for after the election. That's what it looks like. It does look like that. We're boarding up. We're the only one in that neighborhood. Yeah.

But just in case they make it this far. Yeah, it's funny to... I mean, it's very funny just to have the door taken. Hey, we're taking your front door. It's so funny. I mean, last week would have been beautiful beautiful beautiful week to take someone's front door all october september that's like uh when we did huntsville uh the comedy club back in july and they sit on the way down they said oh by the way the place you're staying, painters are coming to paint the house while you're staying there this weekend.

And there's nobody there. Yeah, that was during COVID. Yeah. July. Yeah. Yeah, it was like, well, when COVID was happening, they were able to go back to half capacity. So it's not like their schedule's full.

Right. Yeah, staying up live, it's not like a normal, like, well, we have to pick someone, and you're the one that got picked it's like what's next week nothing yeah yeah but like the house is pretty much it sits empty monday through thursday yeah and then the right as soon as i get down they're like oh painters are coming this weekend so they're gonna be painting around you all week figure we do it while you were here yeah yeah you know yeah uh i thought about i might say that as a joke on stage which i do want to address because i yeah yeah you know yeah uh i thought about i might say that as a joke on stage which i do want to address because i've always you know people always mention you go do you do

comics do material on stage that they do that we talk about here and it has happened i told the funeral story last week and it was very and i did it on stage and it was good uh i honestly this will be i won't know for sure until we're done with this new hour, but I, you're going to get stuff. And from what I've talked to other comics, it just happens. Like, yeah, this is how you come up with materials, remembering stories, telling stories or being funny. And, uh, so I think it's going to happen.

So I will say, having seen something talked about here and then seeing you do it on stage, I mean, it's vastly different. Yeah. It's refined. It's stand-up. It's not a conversation. You listen to a lot of podcasts. A lot of podcasts do that, right?

Right, yeah. Everybody. Everybody. Everybody. I know some people, but no one really in the general. To me, I think you'd be like, you're in on it. Yeah. You get to be a part of it i mean look our special if it's called

the greatest average american nate land's a part of that right nate land was here when that happened which then made them see it so that's fun yep all right let's here let's get into it uh kid nurse 1970 wonder if they're a nurse child Child's nurse. Born in 1970. Doogie Howser? Could be. Was he a nurse? He was a nurse. No, he was a doctor.

He was a doctor. He made it as a doctor. Okay. MD. It wouldn't be that good of a show to go. I mean, it's a make-believe show. And then they go, should we make him a doctor? He's like, let's not shoot too high. Yeah, that's not realistic.

Let's make him just be a nurse. Just, let's not shoot too high. Yeah, that's not realistic. Let's make him just be a nurse. Just like a receptionist at the hospital. Yeah. You're like, so what? And who can get this job? Everybody can get this job. You're like, yeah, yeah. It's not that hard of a job to get.

He's the smartest guy in the world. He's the smartest kid ever. My daughter's working. She's got, she's, so she's obsessed with horses. And there's a Creekside horse something. It's called Creekside. I don't know what it's called. But there's horses there.

And she's, like, helping. She goes and sits around, waits. Like, she goes and we give her rides. Like, you know, you pay for rides or training. She's truly obsessed with horses. We don't know where it came from. No one in our family rides horses, but she's obsessed. She goes there and goes, I want to stay and help.

They'll be like, well, you're eight, so we can't really have you helping. Sometimes they can do some stuff like lead a horse here and there, learning little things where they're being watched. She goes, well, I'll just wait. She just waits them out until they go, all right, you know what, Harper, you can come over here, and then she goes and gets help, which is my sign that she loves this. Yeah.

Usually, if a kid just liked horses, they would just want to ride them and then be done with it. She wants to – she's cleaned up the manure. Yeah. She's giving it a go. That's awesome. All right. Kid Nurse 1970.

Just when I didn't think the show could get any better, this was an awesome episode with an adorable family. Each episode just gets better, and as an aspiring comic, I love the insight into your life. Thanks for sharing, and much success and blessings. Well, thank you, Kid Nurse 1970. She's getting out of the nurse game. Or he. Or he. Whoever it is is getting out of the nurse game and going to be

a comedian. Sure, your parents are proud. Michael McIntosh. What happened to Hello, folks. We voted and everything. I said it this time. Can I just say I didn't realize Nate, Aaron, and Brokeback Munchkin were clean comics until you addressed it. That's a sign of true talent when you don't even notice.

And also, let me be honest, swearing isn't needed to be funny. All three of you are the truth. Respect. Thank you, Michael. I did forget hello, folks, last week. I just forgot because we're new. It's new. Right.

Yep. And I just got into it. Harper gave a sign off. Yeah. He probably was like, I didn't make it that far. Who's Harper? Who's this Harper you're talking about? Barfuman362.

I would like to know the secret to Nate's crisp shark. Shark. Golly, dude. You were doing well. Barfingman362. I was on a good streak from even last week. Yeah. Barfingman362.

I would like to know the secret to Nate's crisp shark cheek. Sharp. Man, that's a tough one. Crisp sharp cheek. Yeah. Can you say that that crisp sharp cheek shave line that's that would be like that's that's tough to say and i said it pretty crisp sharp cheek shave line does he hold a ruler up whilst trimming whilst you don't see whilst thrown out there that much shakespeare is whilst is that used a lot not very often it's like betwixt definitely are you trying to impress definitely not in you in youtube comments well i meant to fix that from barfy man did he say whilst he said whilst

but i meant to change it to wild because sometimes people throw stuff in there just to mess with you i like i mean you should have went with crisp sharp cheek cheek. I didn't think that was going to be a problem. Throw some commas in there next time, man. Whilst trimming. I get my beard trimmed at the Moose in Nashville. Eric Miller does my hair, gives my haircut and beard. I tell you what, for all the men, I get a lot of stuff. Get your beard done right. Aaron, go get your beard done.

You would like it more than you think. It really looks good. I did it once and I did like it. You're young. You would like it more than you think. It really looks good. I did it once and I did like it. You're young. You're a mess right now. No one expects you to look good. Get that beard done. One day when you hit your 30s, people are going to want you to clean up a little bit.

You got to start taking care of it. You can't just barrel in the room with that beard and Notre Dame hat. And then you painted your jacket black. You had the same jacket on, but it's black now. You did, didn't you? You painted it. Look. I had this one first. I've had this one for a while.

I think you've got to paint underneath the collar. It is the exact same type of jacket, but it's just a little different color. They're not going to make fun of me next week, and then you're just going to brush paint on your jacket. We're going to see Lil Pai. How'd you get that horse to stay the same color? No, that's a rare – oh, yeah.

You put painter's tape over it. The beard, though, it is – I get asked a lot about this. And if men – if you have a beard or a haircut, go do it in a proper place. And it's something that I got my haircut at Supercuts for years. Sports Clips loved it. Loved it. You get your, they give you a towel. You watch ESPN.

It's the greatest thing. My hair grows quick. I mean, I loved it. But you go get it properly done. You look good. It makes you look good. I think think it makes you he cuts mine to make me look thinner where the way it's faded down and stuff like that yeah i'm doing a little more mustache now we're just trying stuff i don't know if any guy looks worse with a beard this is my theory on it no they don't because there's a while where a bunch of politicians started growing out beards.

Ted Cruz grew one. Yeah. Paul Ryan grew one. They all looked so much better. Yeah. I tried it. It didn't work. How long?

Were you looking at your politician's baseball cards? Did you trade them? Someone traded you Paul Ryan for Ted Cruz and you go, I don't know. That's not a fair trade. This is Ted's beard. He's got a beard. Paul doesn't. This is before, and that's when Paul grew a beard.

Did you try it? You tried it for a while? I tried a goatee. Oh, a goatee. That's nice. You should do one for the people at home. I got that video. Oh, yeah.

Me wearing one. Yeah, it doesn't. I don't know if it works i think i do know it does not work yeah brian this is what this is what we're doing this is what we got he's he's i mean he's 48 years old you don't think the man's got a look his look is done 49 49 done why don't you ever just let me? I always shave a year off. Yeah, I know. You should let it happen. I, yeah, go honestly, though.

If someone wants to do it, Christmas is coming around. A lot of wives listen to this. If you want to give your husband some kind of fun, give him this. Give him a day to go do it. And then, you know, and you don't have to, I go do it. You can do it once a month, you know, and you don't have to, I go do it. You can do it once a month, you know, wildcat grad 30 seconds of fun. That's a great title for a special slash tour.

I do like 30 seconds of fun as a title. Uh, I, you know what, uh, might've been the Tennessee kid. I might've got to put it on there at the end. I can't remember being like my production

company i don't have a production company but if i have one i thought about it being 30 seconds of fun productions i thought and i had to count down the clock like you know 27 28 29 30 and then and then be 30 seconds of fun so i i have thought about that being that as as that it could be a tour yeah it's a good title i like a tour name 30 seconds ago walker will hoit will hoit nate sorry about the loss of your grandmother hearing the story about your family at their funeral reminded me of something after my grandfather's funerals all right you might have to read this. For some reason, I'm having trouble. Nate, sorry about the loss of your grandmother. You're right. I'm all right.

Hearing the story about your family at the funeral reminded me. You started all the way over. Yeah. Reminded me of something after my grandfather's funeral several years ago. We went to a local church in our hometown. Diner. After. All right.

Just read this. This is a long one. Sorry, Walker. For some reason, I'm not following along. Maybe it's the COVID. All right, so his grandfather's funeral several years ago. We went to a local diner in our hometown after the graveside service. The waitress walked up

to the table and recognized my uncle, who she had not seen in many years since he moved out of the area. As she filled his coffee, she attempted to quickly catch up and ask how he was doing. He said, actually not that great. My dad died and we just finished the funeral. Obviously not understanding a word the man said over the loud dieter, she instinctively responded, oh, that's awesome.

It took everything for my family not to make eye contact with each other, lest we burst out in laughter. My uncle kindly restated what he previously said and the waitress felt terrible. Thank you, Walker. That's a pretty good one. We had a little pinch hitter come in. I'm trying to, I don't think the word church is in this whole paragraph. He saw a diner. They're trying to find church.

Jumping around, man. They were at a funeral. Okay. I figured they went to a church. But usually when I do something like that, it's like that word is somewhere. It's like maybe a line down. I was looking for church somewhere. It's not in there not in there man it's not i just put it in there it's in there i'm seeing the word church

tb at one point brian became the barber walters of the bargetti love story he was leaning forward to hear answers to questions he must already know i heard him say so how did you guys meet like he was wolf blitzer it was adorable and i loved it it was very good good job brian uh ryan dance boat ramp should take some pointers from harper her 922 joke was awesome also someone let laura know vandy is worse worse than Kentucky at football, so her analogy should have been Alabama versus Vandy when comparing income levels, because we all know historically accuracy is paramount for this podcast. Well, bye, folks. People are using a lot of words.

It's a lot of like, you know, I don't know. These sentences are longer. I think people try to flex a little bit in these comments sometimes yeah they're pretty good yeah some of them they say it's like the same word oh you know they get me running on a sentence and i don't know where i'm at that's what happens i'm ready for the sentence to be over is this how smart people write you write long sentences write longer than normal i just know like manual labor type of writing we get to the point is this college educated writing aaron

i can't tell man ryan dance maybe bill dance bill dances related to bill dances boy it's this boy yeah call me boat ramp but what bill would call you remember that old commercial it was what were those phones that like you just say beep it's like a walkie talkie their cell phones next hill yeah it was a commercial about if firefighters ran the world yeah it was a bunch of firefighters in like the senate yeah and they're like beep beep what is this it's a bunch of paper that says we need clean water you guys guys want clean water? Yeah. And they just did it real quick. That's kind of how you would do it. That's how I would do it.

Get to the point. What is all this flowery nonsense? I had a Nextel radio. Would you use the walkie-talkie a bunch on it? Yeah, because those are the jobs that I had. So I would use it a bunch. And the hard part, you'd leave it on. If you ever went in, we'd go like McDonald's to eat during lunch.

And so you'd go in, you'd be waiting in line. And the guy in the truck would just start yelling stuff through the thing really loud. Inappropriate stuff. Inappropriate stuff. And you're just like, you're just trying to grab it because you forget to turn it off. And I mean, he's just saying crazy. So it just starts coming through right away. You don't have to accept it.

No, no, no. No, that would be the, you've got to be, it's a walkie talkie. Oh, man. Nextel was great. It had a run, man. Yeah, they were really killing it for a minute. They were killing it. Yeah.

I liked it. They worked at Decatur, Georgia. I always remember Decatur, Georgia, because that's what they told me. My phone, it'll work to there, and then it'll cut out. So we would drive all over. And so every time someone brings up Decatur, Georgia, I'm always like, my next telephone would work to that town. And that's it. Jennifer G., Harper was reading so fast, it felt like she was trying to prove something.

Harper's a better reader than me. Harper's smarter than me. She's the best reader at the table. Yeah. Somebody commented that. Someone said she was the smartest at the table. Yeah. Somebody commented that. Someone said she was the smartest at the table. Yeah, she's smart. Yeah.

Christopher Stanley. Wait a minute. I'm at the hour 28 minute mark. Did they just gloss over the fact they met Chris Novoselic? I don't know. I don't know. Chris. Novoselic?

Novoselic. What the heck? I'm looking for Laura. What the heck is going on here? We did just gloss over that fact. We met him on the Paul Cruz, Paul Allen Cruz. Where everybody

was there. All these celebrities were there. I performed at it. He was the first one we met. He was there with his wife. Me and Laura started talking to him is before i performed so i just can't we just kind of randomly talked to him me who knows nothing about music i of course i know who nirvana battle i have no idea who he is and that was the first one we got done laura's like told me that's who that was and then we ended up talking to him uh a good bit and then

he flies his plane telling us about that telling me He was like trying to convince. I was like telling him. I was like, we should do it. And he's like, you should do it. You should be flying. Yes, we did gloss over that. Sorry. Merritt P. Hearing Lars say, Big J is more my speed is like hearing Barry Manilow say,

Ozzy Osbourne is more my speed. That is very true. That is very surprising that people are always surprised when because if he's here she'll go she's gonna go yeah yeah i mean i'll go if i'm here i'll go but i'm not usually here and so she but she that's the one that she'll go down and she doesn't i don't need to be there it's not like you know it's like uh she's as close as i am to jay jacklyn higgins higgins jacklyn higgins as an out-of-work server that comment about marrying lotions was gold loved the podcast and was excited to finally meet your wife the idea at the beginning about clean versus dirty comedy is right on there we go uh what was that

idea i don't remember that. What was it? When she puts all the lotions together in one bottle. Oh, marrying the lotions. You're talking about the idea at the beginning about clean versus dirty. Oh. Comedy is right on. I don't know. Laura put this comment in, so I'm not sure.

Ooh, Jacqueline. Laura. Laura's a big fan of you, Jacqueline. Yeah. She does marry all the lotions. Let me read a couple more and then. Jeff Wyatt, very impressed by Laura, particularly her thoughts on family finances,

which were roughly, if I'm unhappy with how much income we have, I should go make more, Not rely on my spouse. She's tempered it with the, if he isn't making much, he shouldn't be spending more at CounterPoint. Loved the self-reliance, and it was clear. She absorbed her dad's work ethic and expectation that she would be content whether scraping by or doing well financially. That is all true.

I mean, is that not a long sentence? Does it seem like big words? Well, it's not one sentence. Do people use this gigantic words in just everyday life? Which one? The one you just read. I don't know, it just felt like a lot. Which word?

She tempered it with, if he isn't making much, he shouldn't be spending much counterpoint. Love the self-reliance. Counterpoint, self-reliance. It was clear she absorbed her dad's work and expectation that she'd be content whether scraping by or doing well financially.

It just, like, I feel there's a much easier way to say that sentence. I thought you nailed it, man. I think I nailed it. I'm not even saying that it's wrong, that Jeff did something wrong. I'm saying, I think I'm hanging out with different people than y'all that's what i'm saying i think i don't i don't have friends that would ever say any of that they would never use a lot of those

words maybe this guy yeah well he went to notre dame and so you're smarter than everybody but that's that's that's what I feel. I feel like some words, I just think I'm in a, I don't think, I'm not a smart guy. I'm not a good sentence. I'm not a big word guy. But, you know, who knows, man. Maybe that's how you guys talk.

That's what I think y'all do. That's how you talk to dumb people. You said you're not a big word guy. Yeah. for a living man you do pretty well i pick my words are much different that's true my words that's true you don't have to write out your set either that'd be very different uh yeah my words are a lot a lot different all right so yeah uh this week what'd you so we went to uh we had thanksgiving everybody i hope you had a good thanksgiving i think aaron you ate in your closet alone go ahead aaron go ahead i had a meal with my fiance a couple friends over it was great oh that's how you contact tracing yeah is that

safe it was friends that i'd already been look i don't need to defend myself, but it's people that I've already been around. Yeah. From comedy. Oh. So. Healthiest people. Yeah. No, not at all. Yeah. We had a little gathering, but we all went in our separate corners and stayed apart.

Did you guys see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? No. I caught a little of it. Ronald McDonald had a float. Oh, wow. And there was a float, but then in a car, he was in the back of a car with Grimace. He was wearing a face shield.

Really? I've got to pull up. First of all, they taped it ahead of time, so there's no crowd there. It's just him outdoors in the back of a car with Grimace. He's wearing a face shield. Grimace has no of the car with grimace he's wearing a face shield grimace grimace no facial grimace did not have a face shield grimace is uh what i hear anti-vaxxer really so may could that have played into it i'm not i don't know this for sure grimace is anti-vax what i hear in the mcdonald's community i'm of, Grimace is anti-vaxxer.

And thinks mask are a joke. So that's Ronald McDonald taking precautions because he doesn't want to be around Grimace. Ronald McDonald. He's very anti-science. Much more, you know. That's interesting. I figured Grimace was very careful. That's why I asked Ronald to wear it.

No. No. Ronald says to Grimace, you are the high risk we're talking about here. You're the one that can't get it. Grimace is overweight. Grimace is wildly overweight. I don't know about wildly. Huh?

I don't know about wildly. Okay, look, he's going through some stuff. I'll give you that. I thought you had a picture of both of them together in the car. Oh, yeah, let me get that. Yeah, that's pretty crazy, though. There's a lot of that, though, that I see with the mask that's annoying. I always think with the NFL, are they not testing everybody?

Like, you know. What do you mean? Like, the NFL refs and the coaches. Yeah, and then they still wear the mask. The players on the bench, he has to put a mask on. It's like, you can't. They're playing, dude. Yeah, yeah. Aren't they not getting tested?

And then when they get tested, they should be like, once you pass, you get tested, and then you pass this area, and you guys are good to be normal. You would think so, right? Kind of like the NBA did. I think they do. Ronald McDonald did it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think Ronald McDonald, I mean they i think they like showing you know

safety i think everybody does it for look at us because it's you're in a situation if you're probably on tv there's a you don't need this mask but they want they want to have you also don't want to cover up that iconic face yeah with the mask right so you got to do the the welder's mask yeah i learned that the first ron mcdonald was willard scott you guys know willard scott no yeah oh really long time today show weatherman he was the first ronald mcdonald created the character yeah well you know what's funny that on that mass two grimaces how tall he is over ronald mcdonald if he turned and coughed it would actually it hit the way his mask is it would funnel You know what's funny on that mask too? Grimace is how tall he is over Ronald McDonald. If he turned and coughed, the way his mask is, it would funnel.

It would go right down. Ronald McDonald, his mask is sometimes- He's wearing it upside down. Wearing it upside down around his neck so the top is open. Grimace, perfectly, perfect height, where if he turned and coughed, just shoot right down. Shoot right down, get trapped. You can make an argument that Ronald is trying to get it.

And when they gave him that mask, and then he goes, how can I get it? He goes, wear the mask upside down. And he goes, oh, my God. I was just not going to wear a mask. He's like, you know what's even better than not wearing a mask? Wear it upside down and stand next to someone a little bit taller. Trap that COVID in. Trap that COVID right in.

That's funny. We had a big week. This week, we are going to talk about clutch performances. So it's going to be sports. And if you're sitting there going, ah, sports, I don't care you gotta look as you bared with us the last sports episode we are gonna make it interesting to you the person that doesn't care about sports a lot of people love sports a lot of people don't like sports and we're gonna make it where anybody's gonna be able to sit and listen to this uh vanderbilt had a big had a big weekend. We had the first woman play in a football game

in the Power Five Conference. Women have been a part of teams in smaller conferences, but never in an SEC, Big 12, Pac-12, you know, a giant conference, ACC. And Vanderbilt did it. So we got that. Lost 41 to to 0 she never got a chance she only got it she did one kickoff on the second half so the only time she the only time her or just any kicker would have been on the field yeah uh derrick mason then was immediately fired which is crazy i

mean that's i mean we we we say that it has to be because of that the whole world watched this yeah for the first time ever yeah and as vandy fans everybody's like oh that's good and we're i mean we're just sitting there as a vandy fan it's just i was gonna ask you how it felt have knowing millions of people watching vanderbilt for the first time did that feel I don't think I, I didn't want it in the, in the light that we had it in 41. Yeah.

Honestly, if we were like had a winning record and she, and we had to get her, it would feel better to me than the way we got her. Yeah. We were, we're Owen eight. We're going to lose.

We're playing Georgia next. We're going to lose Georgia. It's bad. And then we bring her in. She gives a halftime speech, which is, I think, a little crazy. To think this girl, I mean, this girl was the only winner on the team, I mean, on the field, by the way. She just won an SEC tournament.

Our women's soccer team is amazing. So it's not like she's super athletic, but it was, yeah, I mean, to go talk to these guys. I mean, these guys are on 0 and 7, about to be 0 and 8. And she's like, why are y'all not excited on the sideline? You're like, I don't, have you? We have a different sport going on over here. You're an awesome winning soccer team.

Yeah, we're not super thrilled. It. Yeah. Your awesome winning soccer team. Yeah. We're not super thrilled. Yeah. It's bad. I got to tell you, I, along with most people, I think, wanted to see her kick a field goal. But the fact that not only did Vanderbilt not score, but never got in field goal range is the funniest thing ever.

They only got across the 50 once, I think. I think so. I think once, and I think it was like to the 40. And then he went right back to the 50. That is so funny. They didn't let her try a 57-yarder or whatever they were. Wow. I mean, it would have been a 60.

Yeah. What I'm saying is the fact that they never even got in a position where they could let her. Her only chance would have been for us to try a field goal on third down or second down, and it would have been an NFL record. Like, that's all that could have happened. I think they wanted to get her. She would have kicked an extra point.

Yeah. And they couldn't do it. And, I mean, honestly, it cost Mason the job. I mean, Mason will definitely not probably let women ever play again and anything he'll be the one that just says no and they're like but she's really good and he's like i've done this before it doesn't it doesn't end well for me it's like she goes on to have a great career and i always end up getting fired uh so we're on a coaching search now which is yeah when we take your defensive

coordinator it's not gonna be so funny to you i'm hoping uh clark lee notre dame defensive coordinator played at vanderbilt nba yeah from here hometown close to corbin it would be my that's what i'm rooting for uh there's a few i like yeah but a coaching search is i mean i know people that are college sports like get how fun they are. They're so fun. You start tracking private jets. You put in tail numbers and be like, why is he flying there? Why is he going there?

And, like, it's the funnest. It's like NBA free agency. I love NBA free agency because you just don't know what's going on and everybody's like. And you're just talking about all the possibilities that could happen you remember everyone thought gruden was coming to tennessee how obsessive oh yeah like gruden's mother-in-law owns property outside of knox county or whatever oh they start getting down i know yeah if no one's into sports you can make fun of make fun of someone for that because it is very funny i do it too where you're going you know his cousin he had a cousin that had a long layover and that at nashville airport once and i

heard her cousin was on the phone with him and said you know this looks like a nice town so something you know i loved it that's how far they go yeah peyton manning when he visited the titans and he wore an orange like pullover everyone's like it's a good sign right there I loved it. That's how far they go. Yeah. Peyton Manning, when he visited the Titans, and he wore an orange pullover, everyone was like, it's a good sign right there. It's a good sign. He's evolved.

It means he's coming here. And then he immediately goes to the Broncos who wear orange. Yeah. But never crossed anyone's mind that that might be the problem. He played for Tennessee. He's got a lot of Tennessee stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

I thought for sure he was coming. I also thought Brady was coming. When Tom Brady was with the Titans, talking about him going to the Titans, I knew he was – I heard he was at a golf course near here, practicing with his son. And so I heard that, and I'm like, oh, no. You always hear they visit schools. Yeah.

So that's always a big thing. You know, they went and visited the school. I remember hearing that. I don't think that was true, though. You never know if it's true. LeBron visited schools in L.A. when he was going to L.A., and I was watching that, and that ended up being very true. His kids went there. He's hard to miss, you know?

Yeah, it's tough. I mean, that's the thing when you're that big. You can't. It was just some other six-foot-nine. Even with a mask on. Yeah. They the thing when you're that big. Right. You can't. It's just some other six foot nine. Even with the mask on. Yeah. They might not know you're LeBron, but they're going to be like, you're somebody. But you're that in shape with that mask on.

Just that big. You have Shaq with a mask. It's like, wait, is that Shaq? Yeah, of course it is. I think Shaq could walk around with a bag on his head. He's got to be. Is there a more recognizable from a distance person in the world than Shaq? Manute Bull?

Maybe. He's so skinny. But he didn't have the same level of fame as Shaq. Shaq's everywhere. He's dead. He's in every commercial. He's the new Papa John's. Shaq went undercover as an Uber driver, and people didn't recognize him.

But he's sitting up front if they got him sitting up front with a beard and stuff yeah if you're not going to expect it if he walks around i don't think you're not yeah you're not not recognizing him yeah you're figuring it out yeah but if he's in up front in an uber you know you could just not be paying attention and then but you're thinking this guy's enormous yeah but they probably got him an suv yeah i think he had a and so i do a jamaican accent or something yeah patrick ewing jamaican seven foot tall random jamaican guy patrick ewing's jamaican which is always always blows me away when i hear him talk. I had no idea until he was a coach. Yeah.

And never heard him talk. And then you're like, oh, he's like from Jamaica. I had no idea until you told me. Oh, yeah. Right now or?

I mean, you told me that so I heard you talk about it. Just recently. I talk about it quite a bit. It's his go-to. I bring it up, yeah. You know, Patrick Williams is Jamaican.

And then people are like what that's like the Iris or the actor Idris Elba Idris yeah he's like

from England yeah and his yeah and he's so good you see in these movies I just watched

Molly's game he's great in that yeah we could talk about being a clutch performance yeah in poker super cut molly was if you haven't you've seen i remember i read the book you know i think i read the book almost positive i did last night i was like did i read this book and i just don't remember i don't remember anything you and i saw that movie together

yeah and i think you told me you read the book. I did read the book. I loved the book. I don't remember. Oh yeah, I loved it. I loved it. I remember I loved it. That was such a quick turnaround. I don't know if I read it. One of the best books ever. Actually, it's my favorite book.

You probably read the back of it. That's all you need. No, it's my favorite book. You probably read the back of it. That's all you need sometimes. No, I read the whole thing. American Sniper, I read it, loved it. There was one a long time ago. I used to always read any books about the military. Another one I read, Fallujah, is Fallujah, that's in Iraq, the one town that's crazy?

Yeah. There was another town that they mentioned that was crazy that was uh they the amount of fighting that would go on this town was unreal it just was a constant fight and it's all just this tiny town and they killed the the guy that was like mr ira. Like he was like the built guy. You know, like what are those guys called? The World? Mr. World? Oh, the World's Strongest Man? No, he's about like bodybuilders. Bodybuilders.

He was Mr. Iraq. Yeah. Yeah. It just sounds so funny. I thought you were just saying he was like like a guy that was known in that town. Yeah, just like a famous like enemy combatant. He's Mr. Iraq. I think he was Mr. Iraq.

That's probably right. And he worked out. All right. And then he was killed. But yeah, I do remember. I mean, I remember her book. But yeah, I just don't remember. I mean, I've seen Molly's game,

and I watched it last night as if I didn't know what happened. I just forget. Written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, creator of West. Oh yeah. Wow. A lot of West wing stuff in that movie.

I thought as well. It's more than complaining. I felt it was too, too heavy. It's the same kind of thing, man. Yeah. A lot of words.

This might be here talking about, uh, I'm not going to take a stab at his name, but. Is that Abraham Aduri? That's something. At least we'll be like, is that all right? He's like, yeah. I think he would turn around if I said that.

You know what I mean? I think for sure. He wouldn't just keep walking. Zot, Abraham, Aduri. Yes. Did I get that? He's like, oh, yeah. You got it.

Enough. That's awesome. Yeah. I didn't even see what you were talking about. Wikipedia asking for more money. They always ask. Yeah. I think I see what you're talking about. Wikipedia asking for more money. They always ask for money. I've given them money. You ever give them money?

I gave them $3. All they asked for is $3 one time. I was like, I can give them $3. They go, guys. They always break it down. You know, it'd be like if I just said, you know what? If everybody in the world gave me a dollar, I'd be a billionaire. That's the same. They they go if everybody who goes to

wikipedia gave us three dollars we'd never have to ask for money again it's a very yeah it's like yeah dude everybody would live that like if i you know what if just my whole neighborhood gave me ten dollars i would be able to buy a car and everybody, you know, that is a good point. GoFundMe does that now. I did a $100 donation and it come up $115. And I was like, what? Is there tax? And then GoFundMe was like, we don't make money, so we need a donation. They just put in $15. I always do it.

They should do it. If you want to do it, though, it needs to be $3. Just automatically be like, there's our $5 charge. $15 is a lot because you're usually giving like 100 or you're giving something a little bit more and then so when you throw 15 on top of that i always take it out of the person i'm giving it i always i gave 85 well the the kid that needs a heart i go i'll give them 85 they're gonna ask me for 15 i think i think that's i'm going above i said i'm willing to do 100 it doesn't matter how the 100 gets broken up that's not on me yeah i'll give 85 to the kid yeah you're helping two causes but they should just take you know just be if i

think if most people just do that be like we're just taking five dollars if they came out just set it yeah everything you donate we're're going to take an extra $5 because we have to run this. For this awesome thing to work, someone's got to pay for it. So everybody just always chip in an extra $5. And I think everybody would be like, okay. I'll say I've made a few GoFundMe donations, and they do that now. They say, you want to give us a tip?

Yeah. And I'm, nah. You say no. Y'all can figure it out yeah how would they figure it out ads viore.com slash nate uh yeah wikipedia always i've done it but they ask more than you they act like it they always say the same thing it's awkward but this is monday no it's cyber monday oh it's cyber monday uh no i guess it is this is the seventh appeal we've shown you just you specifically yeah they're keeping track of how

many times it's awkward but this monday we need you to help we don't have sales people well maybe you should get some sales people yeah that's obvious but fewer than two percent give i've given uh i get you know you do i do give but then you think you give and you're like all right Yeah, that's obvious. But fewer than 2% give. I've given. I do give, but then you think you give, and you're like, all right, now back off me. And then they make it worse. If you're seeing Holly right now, Holly's got a cone on her neck. Holly got bit. Harper bit her.

She looks like Ronald McDonald. Yeah. That's what his face mask looks like. That's what Ronald McDonald has, a dog cone on his head. Holly stayed at a place. And I don't think it's not the place's fault these dogs play. Holly's pretty energetic and rough. One place she stayed at. Holly's not a mean dog. She's not bad. She's always, one place she stayed at, we go, Holly's not a mean dog.

She's not bad. She doesn't do anything, but she's got a lot of energy and plays a little rough. And they go, your dog was definitely the most spirited. It's just a nice way to put your dog's out of her mind. And we got her home. Laura's giving her a bath last night. And I mean, she's just got a hole in her chest and got bit. And she's, but she's, she's got the cone on.

Did you take her to a vet? I could, I could see that it was a hole. I mean, you already had the cone. We already had the cone. Okay. No, we did take her to a vet. I was trying to make a joke about that. But Laura took her to the vet this morning.

Oh, okay. And the vet's like, yeah, it's a hole in her chest. So i gave her some i think some medicine but yeah it's a dog she got bit uh i watched on shark tank last night they made someone had a dog mask they were made for covid so they made a mask for dogs and they come out and they're wearing it it's real long and the guys have it on and so you're like you're like who's gonna wear this mask yeah yeah canine mask and so they're wearing it though when they walk out and you're like well no one's gonna wear that like i thought it's gonna be some mask that you can breathe in yeah it looks ridiculous but you can breathe in. Yeah. It looks ridiculous, but you can breathe in it good. And they go,

no, it's for dogs. That was the big reveal. Was it just sagging? No, it was sticking. The mask on theirs was going out. I mean, they just had it on. They had it tight. And they go,

and they explain, you know, mask. I mean, it was pretty good, you know, because they always do like a little show almost. Yeah, right. And it was pretty good

that they did it where, they did it where they were you were like oh these dudes are they this is for humans and you're not even thinking it's for anything else and then they do a sign down and like that's a dog then everybody was like oh i love that and the the, uh, our dogs getting COVID. Uh, no one knows, dude. You can't, you can't.

I mean, you ask them where they've been pretty big. Uh, yeah, we ask Holly all the time. We say, Hey, what do you feel?

And yet where the other dogs coughing at the place you stayed. And then Holly, you know, she has double talking in English. and so we don't know what she says right so we don't know if she has covid she might uh i definitely don't but she probably does uh i think some dogs got covid yeah i think i've heard of it yeah enough to go let's start a company now no about dog so a part, it wasn't always COVID. It was also like fires in California, like breathing that bad air.

Oh, okay. That's another one. That's fair. They go walk the dogs. They only got one deal with the Damon. He did a deal. He was basically like, I'll give you the money, and I want 45% of the company.

Versus, and they're like, would you do 40? He goes, I'm only doing 45 so y'all at least own the company. He's like, I would normally be like 50. I'm definitely not going to 40. Because it's so small of a market. But there's a market. It's like, you know, because he thought, which I thought was good, he thought about New York. He goes, if you live in new york in the city you gotta go

walk your dog around the streets of new york well they're putting their nose and mouth into just i mean you know a dead rat like i mean just like the streets of new york and then they just come right back in your house and like lick your baby so there you know I was like all right Damon made that point yeah Damon just so he made a better case for this he made a better case for it than they did and so he it's like all right he goes that's he didn't say they were dead rat and baby I made it a little more colorful you know that's what I would have said uh-huh but so yeah yeah. So they got, Shark Tank's great. We watch it. Harper watches it.

It's a good show. Like a kid can see, you know, ask her what she wants to invent something. She doesn't. So anyway, so we're talking about the soccer. We're good. Clutch performances. Yeah. Have you guys like, we've covered our sports background yeah it probably doesn't shock you

i don't have any personal clutch performances and a clutch performance for someone you know it is a last second shot that you make and that you confidently make i think don't know it's not always luck yeah i'm sure you wouldn't if someone got really lucky my my buddy jeremy morrow or p pp as we called him still call him p he's got three kids married i still like p what's up we're both 41 he might be 42 he was always older than everybody and but he shot once we played uh basketball in high school in PE, and we called it AP Wellness because we were in no AP classes. So we would say we were AP Wellness.

And we would play during the game. This coach would just let us play a full game. He would keep score. And, I mean, my buddy Adam Son, who actually played for Belmont and then played overseas he would always complain dude these were epic games we would call timeouts it's supposed to be a running clock i mean it's it's a class the bell rings you got to go to class and we're like time out time out that we're calling timeouts they're giving us timeouts we would always be late to

whatever the next class was this is like our senior year and then we one time we pass it to jeremy and uh and p's we give it to p and then p's like looking to pass it because p wasn't a basketball player so he's trying to pass it i'm covered everybody's covered and p just launches it over his head and it goes in and then we win and i mean this is a win for nothing. Absolutely nothing. And we just, I mean, we cheer, we carry them off into the locker room. And when we're late to the next class, we're just missing. It was the greatest thing ever. But that wouldn't be a clutch performance.

I don't think. Because you're saying luck. You threw it over, you're throwing a ball over your head. Yeah. You know? So I think that would come into it. Do you guys ever remember your head yeah you know so i think that that would that would come into it but you get you guys ever remember teammates or guys you played against that just somebody's like that guy just took over the game oh yeah for sure yeah i i've had a couple when i was super young and it didn't matter and the stakes were not high at all well You want to share one? I pitched when I was like nine or 10.

I remember I struck a guy out to win a playoff game in the rain. It was kind of, it was like a scene from a movie almost. And that was kind of the peak of my athletic career. So you're pitching downhill from the house, pitching in the rain in the rain and struck out. They bring you in. I think I,

I don't know. I don't remember. Yeah. But I closed out the game. So I remember that. So it's such a clutch performance that you, like me reading Molly's book.

You don't remember if you started pitching. I don't remember if I started the game or not. I remember, but I ended it. Yeah. And that's,

that's, that's really all that matters. That's all that matters. Yeah. I had one last second shot that I, when I was 12. And I dribbled down and threw it up in the middle of everybody. And it went in.

But, I mean, that was a luck. You know, that was like, it wasn't a crazy shot. It was a normal shot. But I don't think I was, there was no, like, give me the ball. I know what to do. You know. There was no thinking of that. I'm a no-hitter.

But, you know, like very luck things. I'm playing 12-year-olds or 10-year-olds that can't hit. Yeah. I had that heat check once. Remember? I talked about that where – Oh, yeah. I hit two in a row.

But the second one, it got helped because a guy tipped it and the coach didn't see it. So he's like, get the ball to Brian. And then I launched it over the backboard. oh yeah i hit two in a row but the second one it got helped but because the guy tipped it and the coach didn't see it so he's like yeah get the ball to brian and then i launched it over the backboard and went into the concession stand yeah too hot i mean the fact that the uh that's so funny to get heat checked yeah my eighth grade year i played basketball and then like the last game of the season they were like all right we're gonna let all the kids that don't play that much like start yeah the game so i started in eighth grade i all right we're gonna let all the kids that don't play that much like start yeah the game so i started and it's great i remember really we're gonna let y'all play you know let y'all start for a few minutes and i inbounded it and i hit the back

of the backboard inbounding it and they're like all right we're gonna put the starters back what is wrong with me today what is wrong with me today usually make those yeah were you trying to do an alley-oop how did you hit the back i was trying to just pass it i mean it was just like a comedy of errors everything went wrong yeah you're like yeah now we know why you didn't start yeah you know anyway all right so um what traits lead to high performances in clutch situations researchers from australia and england did a study on high performers, performing clutch situations. There were some common traits.

They talked about getting in the flow, which I think we think about kind of like in the zone. They said more in the flow. Well, the flow, I know it as golf. John Augustine plays at Vandy, now he's a turning pro. But I know know he can get on so he starts getting some birdies he'll continue to make birdies and he'll get on a run and not him I'm specifically saying him because I've played with him we talked about it but Tiger I mean look at the mat at the last masters that they just did Tiger got a 10 on a par three, a 10. That's unbelievable. And then

birdied five of the last six. So to flip, that is a clutch performance. He flips something to go, this is going to be embarrassing. I mean, if I got a 10 on a hole, my day's done. I'm not going to bounce back from that. I'm definitely not going to par. I'm not going to bounce back from that I'm definitely not going to par I'm not going to do And he goes And almost gets He gets all of those extra shots back Except for two Brian if you get 10 on a hole You're pumped right?

I am actually I've asked him to pick up way before he ever gets a 10 I would be like that's good Yeah he always tells me triple bogey Just pick up Triple bogey max If you're a golfer and you're terrible Just do triple bogey Grab your ball and move golfer and you're terrible just do triple bogey

grab your ball move on unless you're alone or you're playing with someone equally as bad as you if anybody else is good get the ball and come on this is not the time they talked about some common characteristics from these people they're so absorbed in the task they don't they're not even aware of the crowd they They have high levels of confidence, a sense of control over their performance, enhanced motivation to succeed. They enjoy it just enough, but not too much. It's kind of interesting.

And being fully alert. Some say things slow down for them and they even have a hazy memory of the event. I could see. That's interesting. I could see that. You could be like, how would you feel and you're like i don't know yeah you know i think the highest you can get as an athlete is to whatever you're doing there's no you just know to do it i you know me learning kind of learned

to golf the swing that i'm trying to learn is i'm trying to get to a point where i stop thinking about my swing. That's the difference besides their natural born gifts and talents of a professional golfer. Someone that's not good is they can't get over a lot of a big reason. Now, they could just not be good. There's many other things, but a gigantic thing while you're chunking balls and all this stuff is you're thinking about too much stuff. And so you're trying to make everything too perfect. In a weird way, I would imagine a lot of clutch performances, you could probably almost say,

besides Tigers, that has to be such a precise thing. But a lot of times it probably wasn't a perfect swing, perfect shot. There was a lot of stuff that didn't really. It's because it's because they're fine. It's perfect to them. You know, like they're not searching for perfect. They're searching for it to get the job done. And whatever they do is, you know,

you could probably have a weird shot that had the shot feel like it didn't feel that great when it came on. It wasn't like if I knew it felt so good, perfect. It's like, they're like, I don't know. I've like rolled off my pinky, you know, but they were, they were, they're prepared for that to happen. I think that's excellence at anything is that you just get to a point where you're no longer focused on the mechanics of something.

You just get to a point where you can just feel it and kind of like when you're doing stand-up, you're no longer thinking about the rule of threes, all these technical things that you learn when you start. You just evolve past that. I watched this interview with John. It's the rules of three if someone doesn't know.

That's in comedy. The idea is that you always have something happen in threes. Yeah, if you list something, you always list three. For whatever reason, that's just... The first two could be funny, and the last one needs to be the funniest. First two might not be funny, but the last one's the funniest. The third one's different in some way.

I watched this interview with John Mayer about what he thinks about when he solos. And he says he just thinks about shapes and colors. He's just thinking about the feel of it because he's so mastered the technical aspects of playing guitar that he no longer needs to think about that he's just what he's feeling in the moment yeah i think that's cool you get that good at something you're no longer consumed with the mechanics of it your body just does it right i mean that's why they can and i like i mean with athletes they can learn something pretty quickly because they they're trained to

learn how to do that's why a lot of them when they go over to golf a lot of them are very good because they can figure it out and be like what do i got to do they might be terrible i saw a guy play this guy played football and uh i was like talking to i forget his name but he was with uh my buddy toby mack from my nose toby lead singer of dc talk for a long time they were huge in the 90s yeah and they're so huge now he still does very big now but they were uh they he was this other guy came up and and he was his friend. He played football, and he's kind of swinging the club. He's just starting.

And the first shots were just awful. But even in a little time of 15, 20 minutes, he hit a couple that were pretty good. And you're like, oh, this dude, if he wants to figure it out, he's an athlete. He's like, oh, I just don't. I'll figure it out. They have that mentality. Just such control over their bodies in a way that, you know, If he wants to figure it out, he's an athlete. He's like, oh, I just don't. I'll figure it out. They have that mentality.

Just such control over their bodies in a way that normal people don't have. Yeah, when you ever see a slow-mo of what they're doing, of how they're torquing their body, or even when they go up, you got to think like when Michael Jordan, when he does the dunk and he switches i mean we always see it in this slow motion just try to jump and hold a tennis ball and give it to your other hand it would be very hard and his is a it's a commercial it's a movie that's what it looks like it's that like an actor did it and he did that in that high level of a – I think they slow everything down.

Everything becomes slower to them. So they're seeing it in a slower way, and they can do – now they have the physical abilities to keep themselves up that long and jump that high. I mean, I just watched – they had the Tyson fight, Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. fight this weekend. Wasn't that – it was a pretty good fight. Yep.

It was fun. They had Jake Paul. Nate Robinson was one of the fights. Nate Robinson's a basketball player. Jake Paul's internet YouTuber guy who called out Conor McGregor. He wants to fight Conor McGregor. I mean, yeah.

But Jake, I mean, if you saw the difference of Tyson and Roy Jones Jr., who are both in their 50s, and Jake Paul, who's 23, who looks like he's, hey, Holly. Holly's having nightmares. I don't know if anybody, if that picked up. You just said, whoo, whoo. She has nightmares.

She has regular nightmares. Maybe she's got a hole in her chest. She has PTSD from She has regular nightmares. Maybe she's got a hole in her chest. She has PTSD from this week. Right. Yeah. So, but they're in their 50s. And when you watch Jake Paul and Nate Robinson fight, it was like Nate Robinson's unbelievably athletic.

Star football player, three-time slam dunk contest. 5'9". He's got a 44-inch vertical. His head's touching the rim. He's 5'9". Extremely athletic. What he was trying to do was come in quick with these punches. He's never boxed.

That other guy has fought once and trained a bunch and wants to be a fighter. Even Jake mean his swings were so like kind of wild looking then when you watched Roy Jones and Mike Tyson who are the best but when you see their swings their punches every it's so tight even the ones that they come outside are not as far Jake's are way out here and they're there. Like that's a big difference of just, you know, if you swung out to like your shoulders going is your hook punch. But if you go outside your shoulder,

well, that's how much longer that takes to get there. Just seeing them, the, how like, how like a professional fighter versus not a fresh fight. You're like, it's,

it's wild, dude. And how much even Jake Paul, who just trained more than Nate Robinson, it wasn't even a fair fight. They should have called that fight before they called it. Nate Robinson got knocked out like three

times. And they should have really caught... Did you watch the thing? I just saw the highlights. Yeah, they should have. I mean, he laid there and it was like, this needs to end, dude. It's not good. Jake Paul walked out to, we're playing basketball. And when he did that, I was like, all right, I'm rooting for him. Yeah.

I love a villain. He's a villain, dude. He is a villain for sure. He seems about one of the more unlikable people I've ever seen. And then you're like, well, how unlikable can it be? Well, his brother's Logan Paul. You're like, yikes. You're like, that, how unlikely can it be? Well, his brother's Logan Paul. You're like, yikes. You're like, that old family stinks, dude.

I mean, they're just- I was pulling for him, dude. When he walked out to that song, I was like, you got to love it. You got to just love the pageantry of this. Yeah, yeah. Just a villain against- I do love him calling people out. I love the show.

It's someone, my neighbor Felix, we the show. It's, someone, I texted, my neighbor, Felix, we had texted, he goes, I go, I kind of,

I didn't mind it. He goes, I definitely was entertained. And I was like, that's a good way to think about it. Yeah. And that's how some stuff needs to be looked at,

where people go, wow, I'm not gonna watch this dumb fight. It's about your entertainment. Right. That's all that matters. It's not, yeah,

dude, no one's watching this. It's like, I'm trying to be like, I'm learning about boxing. Yeah. I want to be entertained. And so and so this it was the show was entertaining snoop dog is very funny he would like comment yeah uh it was very entertaining they did a really good job and the tyson roy jones jr fight was pretty good it was pretty good yeah well we uh let's get to some of these uh examples of clutch performances

and we got some sports of course there's a million sports ones but we got some non-sports one too this one's kind of sports kind of not uh george w bush throwing out the first pitch at the 2001 world series to me for people you know what's crazy is that you almost i'm like we don't have to say what happened in 2001 but you might oh because some people might not i mean some people are so young that you might have to uh you know so 9-11 just happened 2001 i mean john was born in 97 john augustine yeah so like most people there's people that listen to this that would, you know, definitely don't. You don't remember it, right? I do remember this.

I followed baseball pretty closely this year. What? I remember it was the Diamondbacks. I was 10. Yeah. Okay. When this happened. That's crazy.

Yeah. I mean, you would have, 9-11 wouldn't have been, you remember it, but it was not. Yeah. And I was in, I was in Alabama, so I didn't really fully appreciate the... No, I didn't understand the national relevance of this moment, which now is one of my favorite moments. It's maybe one of the best moments ever. And you were talking to George Bush, just the pressure.

There's a great 30 for 30 about this. I'd recommend anyone go watch. So the setup of it is 9-11 happened. You know, I mean, A, his speech that he gave was unbelievable, that he gave down there. Yeah, well, that's like three days after 9-11, he went down to ground zero, and he's down there with all the workers, and he's on the bullhorn, and the guy's yelling,

we can't hear you. And then he says, I can hear you. The world hears you. And pretty soon, the people who did this will hear us all. I mean, what a riff. I'll run through a... What a riff. I mean, I'd run through a building right now.

Like, just this wall, I'll just run through it. Yeah. That kind of... Those moments are... That's an unbelievable moment. Yeah. I mean, that speech is a clutch performance. And the fact – he doesn't know what he's going to say, dude.

No one – there's no way the guy, they're like, all right, you shout this. They planted him. Yeah, you don't plant him. That's, again, what the Vandy football, the woman this weekend, it did happen, but it doesn't feel like that. Yeah. It doesn't feel like that moment. It doesn't, you know, that's where it feels.

It feels the exact opposite of that moment. Yeah, I know. Well, I think she's as important to us as George W. Bush. But, no, but like her moment this weekend was, yeah, they did need help. It's COVID. We didn't have kickers. But it feels, she gave this speech at halftime. They had a hashtag. I play like, girl already set up. It's COVID. We didn't have kickers. But it feels, she gave this speech at halftime.

They had a hashtag. I play like, girl, already set up. It's almost like nowadays, if you do have something that happens kind of naturally, they put, they corporate it so much that it doesn't feel like it. Right. And he's just standing on the rubble with a bullhorn. Someone yells that. I can hear you.

That's unreal. So just to come up with that stuff, I mean, the whole world's looking at you for an answer. This was the most helpless the whole country has ever felt, is what can we do? And they're looking at this guy, and this guy delivers that message.

And then that almost, I mean, dude, 300 million people don't know what to do. They don't know what to do. People, people are blown away that this could even happen in America. Yeah. And then him to say that is nuts.

It's unreal, dude. Unreal. His approval rating at that point was like 99 or something so high just in that moment. Yeah. Because you're like dude this is i mean it's the most unified we've ever been as a country it was the most amazing thing ever for him to do that and then he goes to new york and they're and they postpone the playoffs and he goes and throws out the first pitch the pressure on this first pitch

there's not a super bowl there's not uh any sports there's not a Super Bowl. There's not any sports. There's not a World Series. There's nothing that's as important as this first pitch. There's nothing. He said it was the most nervous he was ever during his entire eight years as president. I mean, there's nothing, dude. I mean, there ain't a Notreame player that knows what that feels like right there's no sports or sports no one cares in the grand scheme of things who cares it's a game

this pitch i mean that's what's so crazy dude this pitch is the biggest most clutch over jordan's sick game you're all the Jordan shots, it's unbelievable that a pitch that doesn't count is the most important possible sports moment in the history of all of sports. Right. Well, the country wasn't looking to Michael Jordan and going, tell me I'm safe. Tell me and my family that we're going to be okay.

Yeah. And it's in that moment. He had all of this on his shoulders. And if someone doesn't remember it, I mean, I don't know if they're young, they might think that seems, I'm being over, like that's kind of crazy to think like.

Yeah. But this, at that moment, it happened in New York. It happened. Yeah, let me give a couple more details for people who might not know. Yeah. So as he said,

the playoffs, the baseball season obviously was put on hold when 9-11 happened and then everything got backed up. So now it's the World Series, the Yankees versus the Diamondbacks. His Secret Service security wanted him to do it in Arizona because it'd just be safer. He wanted to do it in New York because of what happened in 9-11. They finally agreed to it.

They're like, you got to wear a bulletproof vest, which makes it a lot harder to throw a baseball. He went down to the bullpen to warm up beforehand, and Derek Jeter came down and said, don't bounce it, or you'll get booed, which a lot of people do. And then he said, most guys

who throw out the first pitch, they don't stand on the mound. They stand much closer and throw it. He's like, if you throw it through the mound, it would be even better. He went out, stood on the mound, which nobody ever does, and threw a perfect strike. A perfect strike. Play it. Yeah.

Wave. Crowd's going nuts. I don't know if I want to play the audio because MLB is notorious for that. But, boom, perfect strike. Perfect strike. Right down the middle. Yeah. Pretty special moment.

And we'll post this. Yeah, we'll post it on social media. Yeah, it's like, dude, if he bounces that, I mean, look, in the grand scheme of things, it's not like the world's going to be different if he bounces it. Nothing's going to be different. And, you know, when you really think about it, nothing can happen. It's a non-baseball guy throwing.

He played baseball, I think, or something. But it's, yeah, not an athlete. Got a lot of stuff on his mind. Fair to say. He's got some busy days. And so nothing's, but the idea, the idea that he did that is remarkable. It's remarkable to throw that strike from back there.

The whole world's watching. The whole world. This isn't a regular game. I mean, it's the first game back, World Series game. Not even playoffs, right? World Series. World Series. Arizona won, actually. Yep, they did in seven. The Yankees couldn't even step up to it. game i mean it's the first game back world series game not even playoffs right world series world series but arizona won actually yep they did in seven yankees the yankees couldn't even step up to it how much better would the story be if the yankees would have won yeah yeah i think a lot

of people were rooting for that that year oh yeah what a story it would have been and you don't do it uh-huh and arizona wins yeah and when they i mean and then everybody's like oh it's good i mean feel bad for arizona now because no one cares i mean now and then everybody's like oh it's good i mean feel bad for arizona now because no one cares i mean now no one everybody's moved on we got a ring right you say you won in 2001 everybody'd be like no one's gonna think about it that way right but in that moment dude i just don't i don't i just don't know who's been under that pressure because it's he's not pitching he's done i mean he obviously can throw a ball but he's not pitching. I mean, he obviously can throw a ball, but he's not pitching. But he's at least an athlete enough that, you know. Now, if Sarah Fuller would have had to kick a game,

potentially game-winning field goal this past weekend, do you think there would have been a lot? Not obviously a different level than this, but there would have been a lot of external pressure like that too. It would have been enormous if she had to go out there and to win that game. That would have been unbelievable.

Yeah, that would have been really cool. That's the thing that we were never putting her in a situation to thrive. I mean, she was... I told Nate

they'd make a movie about it. He's like, yeah, a one to nine football team. Yeah. They'd make a movie about it. What movie? Oh,

you get done watching the movie. You're like, how did that team, you go look up? How did they end end up coach got fired immediately right after oh really the next day right i mean i think that day i think that night he got fired and the news came out that day the next day so i mean yeah they're not gonna they're they're not that'd be it would be a movie needs to be focused on her and maybe you should just make it about

the SEC the women's soccer team that actually was really good I think this this is my most clutch

you know obviously this Bush I always think about it I've watched it I'll go back and watch it every now and again it's just such a good pitch

I mean just the amount of pressure that you're under is unreal, dude. Unreal. Yeah. What's another one? All right.

Let's do a non-sports one at all. Uh, miracle on the Hudson, Sully Sullenberger. You were living in New York when this happened, right? I was living in New York when this happened. Uh,

I, uh, did you see it? No, we were, I was at home. I don't remember. Laura at home Laura was probably working in the city then I don't think she could have seen it I remember it coming on the news

And I remember watching the news and it happening And then we watched it And I called Laura and Laura was working But Laura couldn't see I don't think she could see the Hudson River from her building But him landing that plane i mean yeah like that's the thing is like clutch is like these clutch performances everybody's gonna think about sports it's like it's just that's life or death these are all more important

sports right yeah and you know i mean people are gonna die and he's gotta land this plane and then just seize the river and his idea of doing that they said most pilots wouldn't have thought of it they would try to got back he wouldn't have thought of it. They would try to get back. He wouldn't have made it. He would have killed all those people and people on the ground. Yeah. And for him to land it in the river and no one to die was a true miracle. I think Joe List, very funny comedian, I think he has an album out right now, just came out.

He did, Joe met a girl girl like he was at a bar near there didn't see it but later that night maybe he's at a bar and started talking to a server or not a server but a girl sitting next to the bar and she's like he's like oh what's up just starts talking to his what are you doing she said she was on the plane. Oh my gosh. And he's like, oh, really? Like why? You know, maybe it wasn't that day. Maybe it was later. I don't remember.

But yeah, he's like met one of the people on it. I went to a guy who spoke at an event and he was on the plane and it's getting from there to safety in the water. Freezing water was the biggest thing because I mean, you could die so quickly in that cold of water. Yeah. Did anybody die on the plane or did everybody survive? No, everybody survived.

Got all their bags back. Pretty amazing. Made their connection. Yeah. On time, too. That's how good he was. That's how, yeah. That's a truly great thing.

The pressure and the adrenaline of those situations just seem to bring greatness out of people you know i mean that's where the 10 000 hours yep that's there there's a book about that and i've read that book i read some of it not all of it uh but they talk about that with the beatles the beatles played their 10 000 hours hours was they played at like a restaurant or bar fair it was something they just were in the back no one listened to them no one cared

and they but that's where they played over and over and over again that's where they got so good where that's always interesting to see I would be curious if any listeners have you seen anybody perform

that became huge but you saw them at a nut like when they were nothing oh yeah like I've had people I've talked to that

a guy Ed that is I've met his family. And I think they saw, who did he say he saw? Maybe Kevin James. Maybe even Seinfeld, but maybe Kevin James.

At a club, no one knows him. And then, you know, then it becomes this huge person. I bet most of those guys, they have something where people recognize, oh, this guy's got like an X factor. Yeah, I would be interested to see, do they think I could tell?

But that Malcolm Gladwell book, that's what you're talking about, right? Maybe. 10,000 Hours, it just talks about the repetition and you've got to put your time in. Yeah, you put your time in. You do it over and over again. That's what I was doing with comedy.

That's why New York is, I think the best comics come out of New York. We're doing comedy every single night. Your peers that you started with or knew when they before they blew up could you predict or tell who was gonna reach that next level uh you know i don't know if you're thinking about it as much when you're in it yeah so you when you see people that you're like this this is different. So I see someone. I mean, maybe when I saw Burr, and that's why I kind of followed Burr around or kind of watched him closer, is I could tell this guy is something different.

He's really, really good. But I don't know how much you're thinking about that as if you're in it. You're trying to be one of them. So I don't know if you're always like, you can tell you, you kind of just go to the guys that are good. Yeah. And you're trying to learn from those guys.

But I mean, that's why those guys in New York, I mean, that, that, that's why I think anybody that starts in is in New York. I don't think no one can just imagining seeing like Kevin Hart very early on. And you're like,

oh, this guy, there's like a star factor kind of in there. I do think there's like, do they have it? Do they have, you know, people talk about it,

do you have it? Whatever it is, do you have it? Do you, you know... I said that about you. I mean, I didn't know you when I, first time I saw you perform

at Zany's and I was blown away first time I saw you because you were just so and i was blown away first time i saw you because you were just so good i mean this was i don't know 12 years ago so i don't think you've done any late nights yet um maybe that cmt thing but you're so funny that you're the type of material we're doing was just so different than anything i'd seen in nashville and uh you know i didn't know you were and that's always a great thing when you see somebody

you've never even heard of this person you're like who is this yeah yeah well I am I'm one of the greatest

the greatest average American that's ever lived so obviously you would feel that no yeah well when I went to Burr's and Patrice's thing was that

I could feel the audience just be like what is who was that like just be when Bur what is, who was that? Like, just be, when Burr performed and they,

they go, is HBO one night stand? You can go watch that. And he's doing a half hour and you could feel the audience just go like, what, what was that?

Who's that guy? Like, I mean, they just took them, you know, they're having to talk to everybody like that was something, right?

Like you're, you're a part of a moment, you know, that almost be like, what anybody, has anybody been a part of a moment you know that almost be like what anybody has anybody been a part of a moment is the listener have you ever been a part of something big like you know if you're on that plane or if you were on where you had a game and you're like i saw this i was at the bc city miracle oh yeah that's that's one of the biggest plays in nfl

history yeah yeah you were at that game yeah i. I feel like that's it. Remember I was telling him to get out of bounds? Yeah. Yeah. He yelled it. Yeah. I was like, get out of bounds. Get out of bounds. My brother-in-law, Joey, he left.

A lot of people left. Mm-hmm. And he was on the bridge walking back and just heard the roar. Wow. All the people that missed it. Yeah. And I feel like you know that's going to be big don't you think because it's it's big because you want we won a playoff game and we moved we went on oh i mean i knew as soon as it happened it was going to be big yeah you're

talking about something you didn't know at the time uh yeah i mean i guess yeah could there be something that you know you know laura did laura text you about the nine inch nail thing like so nine inch nails when they performed i think it might have been woodstock where they had all the mud on them you know that i think they before they it was pouring down rain oh that was woodstock 94 with all the mud i think yeah type in nine inch nails but they so like that's a like iconic we went to the didn't they have the guitar in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or something there? They had, they had their outfit that they were wearing.

And so like they performed and they, it was so muddy and they just got so, you know, like they could have not performed. It was like too muddy. It was like raining. It was, it looks like he was trying so many things. I don't think they were though. I don't think there, it was like. It was a big I don't think they were, though. I don't think it was like... It was a big problem at Woodstock 94.

The mud. Yeah. Right. Where it was like ruining performances. How were you getting it all over your head, though? And they... Well, I think he then slid. He probably...

I think they pushed each other in the mud before they... You know. It was just like, you know what? We're going to just accept that this is happening and then go with it. And so then they performed. Because I was trying to talk to her about those performances that are not sports related. Here's a good one, kind of along those lines.

Scott Halpin, 1973, The Who was doing a concert in Cal Palace in San Francisco. was doing a concert in uh cal palace in san francisco their drummer keith moon uh passed out on stage from some serious drug overdose they took him off stage revived him brought him back out he kept playing then he passed out again they dragged him off again this time they realized he wasn't coming out so pete townsend asked the crowd can anybody play the drums he repeated the question asking forcibly i I mean, somebody good. At this time, this 19-year-old kid, Scott Halpin, who was up front, his buddy said he can play. They brought him up on stage, and he finished out the Who concert

playing the drums. That's awesome. And he did good? I think he did okay, yeah. Keith Moo is like one of the best, best ever. Yeah, yeah. But just the right place, right time. That's awesome. Yeah. Keith Moo is like one of the best, best ever. Yeah. Yeah. But just, just a- That's crazy.

Right place, right time. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. But that's a huge, that is a clutch performance. Yeah. And that's interesting to be, you know, because I would imagine a lot of clutch performance, you don't know you're getting in them.

Yeah. It's not like you know they're happening. And then that guy just got pulled up. That's wild, dude. I was at like the movie, the Wahlberg movie movie where he's a rock singer with jennifer anderson the rock not the rock i never saw that i never saw him great dude and uh his he gets on a they pull him out of the crowd really and he was singing in a cover band that's like journey i mean journey's the guy the guy that sings for journey now uh he was he's in a he was in a cover band in Thailand. Yeah, and he was Asian.

And then now sings for Journey. And kills it. Rockstar with Mark Wahlberg. I had never heard of that movie. I love it. It's a great movie. It's one I'll watch if it's on. I feel like someone's going to be like, that movie stinks.

I thought I heard it stunk. And I mean, it's one of my favorite movies. It's a good cast. I mean, Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Aniston. He read the book. Yeah.

He read the book. The novelization of Rockstar. It's weirdly about Mark Wahlberg. Nate wrote it. And I think the book would be, this would be based on a true story. The movie's based on the book, which is about Mark Wahlberg

and Jennifer Aniston. Yeah. What if they did a movie together? Yeah. What if they did a movie together? Yeah. Mohammed Gassama. Is it Moe Lane? I don't know if that's him. Would he turn around?

I don't even know if he would turn around. Yeah, he'd keep walking. He probably would. He's from Mali, but he was living in France in 2018. He climbed four stories in 30 seconds to save a four-year-old boy who was

hanging from a balcony. That's any of this video. Is it a former high school player? Nope. No, not that. This is the other one you sent me. I did.

Well, uh, anyway, it's pretty crazy. This guy's just scale. There it is right there. Scaling four-year-old boys hanging. Yeah.

Look at that kid hanging there. Yeah. And then this guy just leaps into action and just quickly i mean that's unbelievable yeah he's not he just climbs up here if you're just listening i mean it's four stories and he's jumping from balcony to balcony uh and there's someone at the top yeah that guy can't quite reach him because there's a partition separating the two balconies yeah that guy gets up there's everyone watches just like prince of persia man yeah what is that it's an old video game where they wow yeah so that's pretty

crazy he just let leap to action he's yeah he's not where was this at this was in france yeah and then they got him what's crazy is there's a family next to him that you're like yeah why don't you get him what if they would have grabbed him right before he did it that would be that like how much the moment would have been ruined if like because the baby's trying to come over i mean four years old dude i just think about your harper's eight yeah i mean when she was four could she hang the grip strength on that kid the kid's got a clutch yeah that's two clutch moments you know how clutch that is for a four-year-old the kid gets no credit for that either man but we're

gonna give him some the kid hanging on for that long and go ahead and show that other one aaron because they're similar as far as just people uh coming to the rescue this guy's a former football player this happened just a few months ago and they're like there's a fire at the top and they're like throw your baby down yeah he runs in and catches the the kid and be honest it doesn't look like he caught the kid from the video but clearly he did well I think they were trying to throw it to another guy yeah he kind of intercepted that guy yeah they were trying to throw the I don't know where the baby came from. The mother threw it out the window, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, which is, oh, bless her. And then, yeah, it's, they're, yeah, that could have been orchestrated better. They, there's another kid, there's another guy standing there that's like throwing the baby that clearly doesn't look like he's prepared to catch this baby and then she just i mean in that heat of the moment that guy has to run in and he barely gets the baby the literal

heat of the moment yeah like they there wasn't wasn't like, give me a second. Throw the baby one second. Yeah. It was like, throw the baby. They just, you know, threw the baby. So,

that guy, the fact that he came in is unbelievable. There's a few cases, and I have other ones here. There's a subway rescue guy in New York, saved a guy

who had a seizure, fell on the subway. Yeah. He got underneath, and he was on Letterman. James Shaw's, the local guy waffle house yeah yeah saved everybody yeah yeah i mean some people died but he saved a lot of lives so

then i was reading about this thing called the bystander effect you guys heard about no about this it's pretty interesting it's it's how people will be less likely to rise to the occasion if there's a group of people around because no one will take charge yeah and they did this study and um the one they put a bunch of students or people in a room to take questionnaire to fill out a questionnaire and they planted a bunch of seeds people who knew what was going on and then they piped smoke into the room And the people who knew what was going on just remained calm. And if a person was in a room by themselves and they saw smoke, 75% got up and ran for help. But if there were other people in the room and they looked around and everyone was calm, only 10% left the room to go get help.

And they have a bunch of situations like that where people just won't help out. Because they're either not sure if it's a real emergency or not, like, or they don't, don't want to get, they don't want to take the responsibility of doing it. And someone said they were having a seizure. And if they were the only person who heard it,

85%, 85% sought help. But if other people, they knew heard it, only 31% would jump, jump in and help. Interesting. I wouldn't want to be the guy freaking out,

and it's actually not that big of a deal. That's embarrassing. That's what everyone's afraid of. That's what everybody's afraid of, is being like, man, you really went crazy. Everybody's afraid of one other guy going up going, dude, you look like a maniac. And you go, I thought it was happening.

You think you're going to be the one that gets to see this crazy moment? Because you don't think you're ever going to be. That's when they always go back to think about, I mean, they talk about like school shooters. And so they always go to, you know, how's the family not see this coming? Because you can't imagine your kid is the one that would do this horrible thing.

So there's, even if there's signs, Jeffrey Dahmer uh they interviewed his dad i think him and his dad i think it was like a fun interview like it was but he was a good dude yeah you're like i mean take obviously let's not talk about the obvious right wonderful mistakes wonderful guy honestly yeah uh they they talked to the dad and he was like did he do anything like i mean he used to kill cats and stuff and the dad's like the 60s i don't know kids were killing cats you know it's yeah it's just like a rough dad that it wasn't it wasn't like he lived in this nice neighborhood and he was doing and he's the only kid killing cats i think he was

in a rougher neighborhood and then it was like kids were being crazy and they so there's when you go back and look and point this stuff out you're like yeah dude that's straight up what happened but people get mad at these parents and you're like why would they why would they ever imagine no one could ever imagine that you could never imagine it uh-huh flip side of that the btk killer in kansas city i think they found out uh he'd been killing people for decades and they there's this big interview with his daughter and they're like were there any signs that your dad was this you know a great dad by day and then by night this sociopath and she was like i mean he got mad at dinner a few times but that's you know parents get mad right you know we're not supposed to you're not thinking oh my dad might be a a serial killer

yeah you know what was the flip side of that you're talking about it from the parents perspective the kid oh okay the kid to the parents yeah well i thought flip side you're gonna say i thought flip side would have been that the kid goes, yeah, he killed my mom. That's true. That would have been the flip side. Is that not the flip side? I didn't frame it right, but yeah, you're right. That would have been the flip side.

So you should have said another example of that. Another example of something similar, yeah. Would have been the flip side of that. Here's the same thing that you said. Flip side sounds better, though. Flip side of that, Aaron. Same thing. Kid.

I've got a much lower stakes example coming through in the clutch let's see it you ever play the original street fighter game this is one of my favorite youtube videos this is a championship match at a street fighter tournament yeah and there's a guy just getting destroyed to the point where he has no health and he's one hit away from being killed yeah and this is what happens it's at a big conference lots of people are cheering blocks a move place goes nuts and then turns around and kills the other person oh my god it's just uh an unbelievable performance yeah ken wins this wins. From this guy. Wow. The guy was just getting destroyed the whole match,

and then at the last second. That's fun. Yeah, that's a fun, yeah. Yeah, those moments are fun, where the video, yeah, these kids. I mean, now that's a real, it's a sport. Right. It's before Twitch. You had to go to these conferences and watch people play live.

Yeah. What's some sport ones? Well, let me give you one more fun one. twitch just he had to go he had to go to these conferences and watch people play live yeah what's some uh uh here's the four ones or you have well let me give you one more fun one uh that's kind of sports kind of like george w bush whitney houston's singing of the star spangled banner at the super bowl yeah it's uh the greatest performance of it people say ever she did it aaron you're gonna have to tell me here get on new music the star spangled banner is written in three-fourths time and she did it in four-fourth time four-four what does that mean that means there's four beats to every measure so a four-four time is how that's how you most pop songs and songs going to be written that way yeah one two three four one two

three four one so that's four four four beats for every okay measure three four would be one two three one two three one two three that'd be three four so it's harder to do in the four no it's just it's just a little bit different arrangement of this traditional song this is 10 days after the gulf war started yeah the good year blimp had been taken down there was jets flying all over the super bowl some people thought they shouldn't even play the Super Bowl. And then she went out there. She thought it was going to be warmer, so she brought a dress. It was cold, so she had to wear a tracksuit and Nikes

and went out there and just nailed it. It's like the situation made it. Like, her wearing that is better than a dress. Yeah, the best rendition of the National Anthem, in my opinion. Oh, yeah. Also, yeah, best the best rendition of the national anthem in my opinion oh yeah just the context of america being at war and the old clip they shots of the crowd everybody's got american flags it was like the context yeah awesome too yeah yeah yeah that is an unbelievable yeah yeah yeah it's great clutch uh, hold on. Hold on before you go. There was something I was going to say.

All right, go ahead. God, what was it? What are you talking about? Three, four? Three, four. Four times. I don't know, man. Oh, it made me think of the four-minute mile.

And someone said on, which hopefully it wasn't just podcast. We talked about it, but someone breaking the four minute mile, like it's impossible to do. And then at once someone broke the four minute mile, the next week someone broke. Right. Yeah.

Like that's, it's almost like you just need a middle. It's a middle thing. It goes, Oh, it can be done. Yeah. That's pretty wild.

Yeah. That you just know to, it's like, Oh, and then it just keeps going yeah you know when does it stop minute mile minute mile is pretty quick man sure sure about that i mean yeah that's what they said about the four minute aaron that's true they did say that about the four minute but they're when nate does it there obviously is a point the way we can no longer get any faster. Yeah. It's just... Well, with that kind of attitude, yeah. Yeah, I guess you're right, dude. Yeah.

What's some good sports ones? Christian Laettner, the shot against Kentucky in CAA tournament. Many people think it's the greatest game ever. He... Wasn't the championship game. No, it wasn't the championship game, but sent him to the Final Four. He was 10 for 10 from the field and 10 for 10 from the free throw line. Never missed a shot, the championship game. No, it wasn't the championship game, but sent him to the Final Four. He was 10 for 10 from the field and 10 for 10 from the free throw line. Never missed a shot the whole game.

He scored the last eight points in overtime to win that game. So that's a good example of just taking over. Yeah. Do you remember that game? Yeah. What year was it? 92. Yeah.

Yeah, I remember watching it. Yeah. Not like greatly, but. Yeah. Yeah, I remember watching it. Yeah. Not like greatly, but. Carrie Strug at the US Olympics, 96 Olympics, gymnast.

And do you remember this? She injured herself. Yeah. But she had to make one more land for the US gymnastics team to get the gold. And she landed and then immediately hit the ground as soon as she did it. And they had to carry her off. Wow. Collapsed. I've seen that clip.

Yeah, she can't land on her feet. The opposite of that is the flip side of that. What's his name? The Celtics. Gordon Hayward? No, Paul Pierce. He got carried out. There's a big debate about that.

And then he came back in. He played in a playoff game. And they had to carry him to the back when he got carried out, there's a big debate about that. And then he came back in. He played in a playoff game, and they had to carry him to the back because he got hurt. And then he runs back in and plays and dominates. But there's a big debate that no one thinks he was hurt. That's like the bloody sock game too, flip side of the Celtic thing. These are no flip sides, by the way. It's just the same scenario. I don't know what a flip side of the celtic thing by the way these are no flip sides by the way it's just the same

scenario um i don't know what a flip side would be flip side would be the argument flip side of that would be i think everybody else is lying paul perry's just hearing the truth wouldn't that be the flip side yeah yeah i've lost yeah keep going now someone yeah mr smart this is the mr the secret genius over, apparently didn't learn about flip socks. The flip side is I'm correct and you're wrong. That would be the flip side of this. That's the flip side, for sure. But the bloody sock where, what's his face pitching?

Curt Schilling. Curt Schilling. And people don't believe that sock. They think he did it? Well, obviously, when you've got something like this, there's going to be a lot of conspiracies about it. But they don't think his foot was as bad. But, I mean, the blood was coming through the sock.

They're just showing it on TV. You're like, he's bleeding. I remember watching that. I mean, I think the sock's in the Smithsonian or something. Yeah, I think it is. Yeah. Or the Baseball Hall of Fame or something. Yeah, yeah. I mean, the think the Sox and the Smithsonian or something. Yeah, I think it is. Yeah. Or the Baseball Hall of Fame or something. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, the crazy performance. Yeah. Them, they come back and win that year. They were down 3-0. Is that the same year? I don't know. Could be. Should be.

Should have been. ESPN removed it from their 30 for 30. Why? When they fired Curt Schilling. ESPN. Oh. They took the whole Bloody Sox storyline out of the 30 for 30 about the Red Sock. Really?

Retroactively. Went in and removed the Bloody Sock storyline. That's insane. Which is a huge part of that whole narrative. That's the only part of it. Yeah. Well, it was about the Red Socks breaking the curse and everything else. The Bloody Sock is important as breaking the curse.

Yeah, I'd say it's a major part of it. We just watched the movie Fever Pitch. Yeah. It's a great movie for, it's a good romantic comedy to watch with your wife. And if you're a sports fan, you get it. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Jimmy Fallon.

Yeah. When they break the curse. It's a fun movie. Yeah. Never seen it. I know I have to. There's a clutch comment right there. Come in.

Yeah. John Elway's 98-yard drive in the AFC Championship game. Oh, man. What's that? I was saying I remember that. You remember that? I remember watching clips of it. Do they say what the most clutch performance ever?

It's called The Drive, right? Yep, it is The Drive. I saw some rankings. Some people put Kirk Gibson's home run in the World Series. Yep, I remember. That was one of the first sporting events i remember watching yeah because i just remember him doing his you know yeah the fist pump yeah yeah uh i think tiger's gotta have yeah that that shot on 15 yeah in the masters that's my favorite shot in golf at the masters we chips it up and it rolls and And then the Nike symbol. I mean, you know, it's like these, I guess it's iconic moments. Now, with Goff, he, I can't remember what it was.

He needed to make that chip. But it's like that's one, the whole day is clutch. That one shot didn't come through. But that's why I think golf is so crazy the clutchness that you have to have is a long day yeah you got to sit there i mean if you'd watch the perfect scenario was last year when tiger won in 20 000 in 2019 uh so it's uh in 2019 they they uh he when he won that everybody before him hit the ball in the water on 13 everybody before that they it's the it's a hard hole to read it's either eight or nine iron for these guys and the way the wind kind of swirls it can feel one way but then become another

way yeah and so i mean this is the whole tiger got a 10 on this year yeah it's because he went in the water augustine went in the water a lot of guys go in the water yeah so he goes in the water he does all this stuff and so for that day tiger's not leading in last year or 2019 for the masters this is big comeback so He's not leading. These other guys all have the lead. They all go in the water. This one group, I mean, I think every one of them went in the water. Three of them, all in the water.

And Tiger sees that because on 12, the hole before it, you can see them teeing off. And he sees them all go in the water. And he said, he goes, if Brooks Kappa was one that went in the water, he goes, I knew he probably hit a nine iron, and he didn't get it there, so it's going to be an eight. And then what Tiger knew was to go left of the sand trap and don't even try to go at that flag.

They were going at this flag, and he did that and then won the Masters. And so it's like the clutchness of, you know, I guess it's like clutching is relying on our comedians what would you say about like freddie prinz who went on the tonight show first time ever 1974 nine months later he had his own hit sitcom because of that performance uh i mean the performance has got to go good. Yeah. So, you know, as a comedian, I think when all the shows that you do, when you go do late night, they all have to go good.

Yeah. It's got to go that good to... You just got to be that different and unique. I don't, you know... I mean, that's what I do wonder if... Like, do comics have... Do we have a... Is there something in us? Because there's got to be some kind of... You know, that's what I do wonder if, like, do comics have, do we have a, is there something in us? Because there's got to be some kind of some gene, you know.

It's either, what has to happen, like we said, is you have to not think about what's happening, basically. So that's why sometimes, like, that guy climbing up that building is, if you ask that guy to climb up that building, I mean, he probably could. He obviously could. But if you asked him to climb it with no circumstances, he would probably be super nervous to do it. But he's not even thinking. He's just thinking, I got to get to that kid.

And so I think it's like, you got to have those moments where I feel uncommon you could have. I think when you were getting ready for your special, I remember you couldn't figure out how you wanted to word this one particular joke. And I remember you just thinking, I think you said, I'll figure it out in the moment. The pressure of taping a special and everything else, it'll bring out what I want to say.

Yeah. So that's a test element. It did not, sadly. Oh, really? Backfired. We cut the joke. No, no. Okay. No, I think i got it figured

out my favorite example of a comedian is uh dane cook improvving half of his madison square garden special have you ever heard him talk about that no or he hadn't done comedy three months leading up to it and he had madison square garden booked he was taping a movie and then they're like you're gonna do the show and he's yeah i can't cancel so was taping a movie. And then they're like, you're going to do the show? And he's like, yeah, I can't cancel. So he just walked out, taped a special. He said 50% of it is just riffing because he had no material. Yeah. And just hearing about that makes me nauseous.

I don't know how much I believe that. Yeah. I don't know. I would think. He did crowd work, right? Some, but you're at Manistoware Garden in the round. Well, you're putting, I could see like there's stuff that happens. This new special, we have stuff happen.

And that is probably going to be in there. But I could see with him. I went back and watched it. And if you watch it thinking, thinking oh he's super trying to stretch yeah then you you can pick up on because 21 000 people i gotta do an hour i don't only have to do the special yeah i hadn't done comedy in a while pretty wild why did he not do comedy for three months he was taping a movie he said and just... My moment would have been with this special after this first night we taped because outside I did 44 minutes.

The second show, I have to do an hour. And the first show was 44. Because usually when you get done taping that first show, you go, we got it. Tennessee Kid was like, we got it, relax, go have fun. Maybe that's when you can add lips and stuff because you're like, we got it. And this one was, we don't. And we don't it i mean this is the first thing i ever did where they

they go we don't you're unbelievably short you know i mean it's got to be at least 57 to 60 minutes and we're 13 minutes short which is a lot it's a fourth of the show yeah even the tennessee kid i've told you before i mean there's so much pressure on you you've got so much friends and family backstage yeah and everyone's asking for stuff and just i mean i didn't mean that then there's just a lot of things people are pretty good well the good that laura does very good about yeah kind of keeping but no one bothers me but it's because. It's not that anybody's asking for stuff. It's that you want to go talk to everybody.

Right. And so you're kind of going over there, and then you got to go back. And you always feel bad if you're like, I got to walk away. But you just, now, like my family goes, they know. And you're like, I'm going to just walk away. And Laura is really good to be. If I walked away, no one would ever think it's rude. I mean, she would be like, no, he's got, you know.

There's stuff like that that I do think. I sometimes, you can have too much going on. Because you won't take your show as serious. Because you think, I've done comedy thousands of times. So I can go up and talk and do these shows. And so I won't take it as serious. And I've actually thought about that recently. And I'm going to try to starting this year to get a better routine. So when I'm doing these theaters to mentally be more into what's happening, like to have my, you know, have a time where I have my phone goes away, everything goes away there's no contact to me because i want to be more in what the show that i'm doing and i've like and so which is will be this next tour is is my plan is to do something that builds

some kind of routine up because i i can get too loose and you don't and you're like i was talking to people on the phone i gotta go on stage there's i used to play i mean i had videos i'd be playing a video game and just walk on stage because you there's something about that you're like that's fun to do and it's like i can do that i always think it's fun to be sitting i'm alone playing a video game and now i'm in front of 2 000 people and like that and that's in within a matter of eight seconds so i i do i always like that idea of doing that but i think it hurts because i don't think you're you know because as comics you feel stupid that same thing that we talked about you feel someone's like why'd you act so crazy man comics had that too if you're like i'm gonna take this serious comment You just picture, I picture Bobby Kelly, all these New York comics being,

you're a dumb comic. Yeah. You tell your dumb jokes. Get up there and go tell your stupid jokes. You be funny. But you got to be, oh, you got to go prepare like you're doing Shakespeare up there. You have that going on in your head. So you end up never doing that stuff.

But that attitude's important too, to have a little bit of that. That attitude's important. You got to have a little bit of that. Can't be taking yourself as serious. serious right that's why no comics really call themselves artists but i mean it is an art what we're doing making people laugh is technically the hardest thing to do to move someone's not that hard yeah i can tell you a sad story i can make you cry but to make someone laugh it's hard to make someone laugh yeah they don't just voluntarily laugh you got to really it's a bunch of strangers right yeah so it's hard to make someone laugh yeah they don't just voluntarily laugh

you gotta really it's a bunch of strangers right yeah so it's like you do have to figure something out you know

but I think when you're yeah when you're in it it's just different alright is that is there we'll do one more just an odd fun one Dave Johnson

I thought they've all been fun but alright he goes give him a downer yeah I mean they've been inspirational i guess but some of the hero and big inspiration speech about how everybody should get it together no i mean i've won another one i'm just saying it's very funny like all right you want to do

let's do one let's uh not a night good real quick uh uh dave johnson sinking a putt at the 2016 rider cup oh this is fun so during during the Thursday practice round, he was heckling Roy McIlroy. All right. So you got it. Dave Johnson's not a golfer. He's a guy in the audience.

I was about to tell that. Well, the way you set it up is like Dave Johnson sinking a putt at the Ryder Cup. I was thinking, oh, this is a golfer. Dave Johnson's a perfect

golf name. Yeah. Dave Johnson sounds like a guy that you'd be like, yeah, I remember that guy. He's got one major. You're like, hey, he won the PGA Championship one year because people went to war.

So people didn't, you're like, yeah. Yeah, he's been dining off that check for a while. You know what I mean? Well, no, he's a fan from North Dakota. He was at the practice round. He was heckling Roy McIlroy and Andy Sullivan that he could hold a tricky putt that had baffled them. Henrik Stenson so wanted to see this guy try it

that he invited him to come underneath the ropes, and then Justin Rose placed a $100 bill next to the ball for this 12-foot shot. It's a 12-foot putt, probably downhill. He's wearing jeans. Wearing jeans. Looks like he has borderline Crocs on. Yep, yep.

Huge crowd watching. Huge, I mean, it's, yeah. Maybe 10,000 people, I don't know. He's lining up the shot. A lot of people. Lines up to putt. Everybody gets quiet. 12 feet. I mean, he's got the full pressure of people. Lines up the putt. Everybody gets quiet. 12 feet.

I mean, he's got the full pressure of everybody on it. Swings for the putt. Drills it. Drills it. Tiger Woods fist pump. Yeah. That's got to feel awesome. That's got to feel awesome.

Yeah. I mean, that's 10,000 people. Yeah. Rory in front of everybody. Yeah. If you miss it the moment is unbelievable yeah yeah can't do that ever again because of covet those moments are gone right will we ever have an exciting what will be the first big moment back from covet where fans are there i bet it's golf i bet it's golf related you think outside i

think you would get fans i think it's gonna be a ufc fight that has a crowd it's golf. I bet it's golf related. You think? Outside, I think you would get fans. I think it's going to be a UFC fight that has a crowd. It's going to be awesome. Connor, I don't think they're going to let them back in Vegas. It might not be that particular fight. But any of them, they're indoors. Like a full crowd? Like a full crowd.

What sport is it going to be? I think it's golf. Well, it's going to come around summertime probably. So what's going on in the summer? Baseball will be going on. But it it's going to come around summertime probably. So what's going on in the summer? Baseball will be going on. But it's not going to be a big moment. You have majors going on in golf. Okay.

So that would be going on. Maybe the NBA Finals. Yeah, NBA Finals. That could be happening. I bet it's golf. I bet golf is the first. We hear the crowd. Something tiger.
