We, I don't know, I was, this week I was talking. Uh, we uh, are we talking about this? Yeah, we can. You got the hat on. I got the DCA hat on. Uh, yeah, with uh, the, my high school gym, uh, the court has got my name on it and the

gym will be named after us and they're building a new facility. I loved my high school, Donaldson Christian Academy. You know, it's a very blue collar kind of private school and it's, you know, just good people and I've always been around those people. I did get cut every year from their basketball team. So I've been honestly not, you know, but they can't cut me now. I like that. I like that. Yeah. That's the ultimate I'm on the team. Yeah. Yeah. They got, I got a jersey. I finally got a jersey. Yeah. It's really a story about revenge. Yeah. When

you think about it. Well, I don't like to think of it as a revenge story. It's how it came off. It does come off. I can see how it comes off. No, it doesn't. It's your Michael Jordan story. You know, I was cut from this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I want to tell all the, that's the kids. Yeah. So you're not going to get everything you want, but you can eventually. Oh, it's on the court like that. Oh yeah. Oh, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, dude. That's what I'm talking about. You really took over that court. What did you think it was, like a newspaper article?

I mean, out of a plaque? I mean, that's what I'm talking about. I would like to say I do let things go. I know this doesn't look like that, but it... Oh, it's everywhere. The building's gonna be called Barkett. Nate Land's gonna be in there. In the new facility, Nate Land will be on the field.

We will, yeah, Nate Land is, we're a part of it. We're going to really, DCA, look, I love DCA. And I'm still close to most of my, almost, I mean, I'm still close to all the friends there. And a lot of them came, which is very nice for that night. You know, I knew we were doing something and that we had like a little gathering afterwards. And Derek Mason came. Yeah, that's awesome.

That was the so nice man. I got, because when he first came to Vanderbilt, Coach Vanderbilt, I got to know him then. And that was kind of like, I was kind of starting to do stuff, but he was just always very nice to me. And I did some shows from his team and so that was actually very very that was Jody Jones is my dentist also I've known his family forever we grew up with his family but uh it was it was that was like a very nice it was a it meant more to me than I probably would have realized yeah yeah just cuz it's like for the fact that he came out

Was very very nice and he's at MTSU now So yeah, it was very cool to get to be part of that and yeah, that's awesome, man What a cool full circle moment. Yeah. Yeah, it really was and they were nice the kids I mean they were chanting like it was really cool. Yeah, we really was. And they were nice. The kids, I mean, they were chanting, like it was really cool. Yeah. They were saying Nate, Nate, and I kind of saw your like, I'm telling them, I'm going, come on, come on. Little louder.

Little louder. I go, I walked in first and they booed and I go, this is the opposite energy we need. Guys, I need you to chant Nate. Uh, and they passed you a ball. You took a shot. Yeah. Oh, they still won't let me play there. Yeah.

That's why he was cut. That's why, that's why he was cut. Uh, the funniest part of that, you getting cut is that your dad was the coach. Yeah. The first, my freshman year, he was the assistant coach. Uh, wasn't head coach, but he was the assistant coach. He got the ball started.

It was, uh, the head coach and the assistant coach. Then they got a new head coach for the last three years. And I just never really stood a chance. And when I look back, I can see you gotta be obsessed. I don't think I was obsessed. Even though I love basketball, it's like, you know, you're just being goofy. And, you know, you should name the toilets after the former coach cuts you every year.

Oh, yeah. Pay to do that. Just be real spiteful. Yeah. Yeah, to really go. He cut me in golf too. I was cut in every sport. I ran track my senior year.

That was the only thing that they allowed me to do. I did play basketball at Twill Grove Baptist Church though. On carpet. We did pretty good. Ours was actually, it was hardwood, but I played carpet when I practiced on in another thing. I played carpet basketball at a church one time. Yeah, yeah. It's nice. My dad actually told me not to try out for basketball. So that makes you feel better. Why? He said, don't worry about it. So that makes you feel better. Why? I said, don't worry about it. Do you want me to put your name?

You want your name on there too, bud? Same reason as soccer. You tell me where you want your name and I'll go. All right. I like that. Yeah. Tell me the name of your high school. Nate will buy it real quick.

Yeah. He'll buy it. What does he say? Shove it to your dad. Yeah. This wasn't even about my high school though. My dad was just like, you ain't going to get it. In general. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's good though. My dad was just like, you ain't gonna get it. In general.

Yeah. Yeah. That's good though. You got to manage your kid's expectations. I mean, he was right. Yeah. He also told you not to read. So he got to figure it out.

Yeah. Most resolutions are hard to maintain, but AG1 is one of the easiest things you can do for your health, but it is true. You can make this the one habit you will actually stick with. I've already given up on most of my New Year's resolutions, but I'm still doing AG1. My goal for the new year is to take better care of myself and do that. I just keep using my AG1. I've been drinking it daily for over a year now. AG1 is what helps you be ready to take on what 20, 25

has in store for you. That's why we're sponsored by AG1. I can feel the difference. It supports my energy, digestive regularity, immune support, and even a healthy mood. It's so easy with just one scoop in the morning. You can put it in a smoothie or even just some water and drink that. I love the taste of it. And if I miss one, I just feel off. And you guys know. I hate to see your mood. If you didn't take a G one, this is the good mood, Brian. That's well, you're right. And that's why I travel with travel packs with me wherever I'm on the road.

So you'll make sure to check out drinkag1.com slash Nate to get this offer. That's drinkag1.com slash Nate to start your new year on a healthier note So I was another one that we talked about this weekend so Eric everybody knows my barber trainer I Was like alright, I'm getting this is the year right? Every year's the year that I'm gonna get in shape. This is the year If I start making movies, if I start getting into this thing,

I gotta look the part. I gotta, and I've realized if I wanna be Nate Land to be as big as it is, I need to be able to get as big as I can be to then be able to do this kind of stuff. This is what my belief, I have to like have control over this food. I can't do this stuff.

And so, we did a body scan. I'm going to tell you my body fantasy. I don't want to. I almost be, it's embarrassing. But it's, so I was talking to Eric about it. And like, you've heard that 75 hard? Yes, I have. So 75 hard is 75 straight days,

you gotta work out twice a day, 45 minutes outside, 45 minutes inside. And one has to be outside, you gotta read 10 pages of book, you gotta do a diet plan that you have. Water too, isn't that part of it? Yeah, you gotta drink a gallon of water a day. So I've looked at it and said,

if 75 hard is gonna be hard for me to always work out two times a day because with my schedule. But I want to do a version of this. So I made a, I was making a bet with Eric and so my body percentage fat was 36% which is what I would have guessed. Would you? If you look at, so we put on the mail, that sounds, if you look at these, 40 is bananas. Like 35 to 40. 40 looks good. He's got some stuff going on. 40 is like, look, if you're telling me I'm worse than 35, I mean, like I'm a percentage above 35. Dude, a lot happens in that 35 to 40. 35 to 40, dude, is nuts. I mean, you're 40%. I mean, I think you look at like, it's crazy.

Look at the other one. Yeah. Look at the, there's another one that even looks worse. Look at 40. How come 30 looks worse than 35? How come? Yeah, that doesn't make sense. And that doesn't make sense.

If you're, by this thing, you're like, well, I prefer to be 35, at least so I can be normal. And you look like a wreck. If you put a shirt on a guy, that's at 30, that 30% is what I feel like I look like. Look underneath the chest of that 35 though. It looks like he just straightened up. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, dude. He's been sitting down for hours.

Yeah, yeah. He stood taller. Again, 40, this 40 looks better than the other 40. Yeah, 40. The other 40 looks, you know, the other 40, that's like a heavyweight where you go, you can just weigh whatever you want to weigh or we're just gonna put you in this thing.

You trying to get down to here, Nate? This three to 4% looks terrifying. I said, I bet him in two months, I can get down to three to 4%. No, I'm just kidding. I'm gonna be. I said, I'm gonna have 24 injections a day. No.

So the bet was with him, if I'm at 36, if I can get to 20%... Yeah. So 20% because we're going to do weight, but weight could be if I started working out and if I started really, you know... I'm not trying to be jacked. Like I'm just trying to... It's like I need to look and feel good and be a confident person. I've lived like this long enough.

I'm exhausted of living like this. So if I can get to 20%, the bet was then Eric has to eat 36 donuts in 24 hours. Wow. So- Ruin his life. Yeah. The idea, Eric is probably 15. He's in the pray 14% is what his buddy fat is. So if we can get Eric up to 35%

it's the opposite. It's a bet that's the opposite. It might take more than a day to do that but that's a good start. Well it was at first we told him we're like you got it if I can lose if I can get down to this you got to eat 50 donuts in a week is we told him and it really made Eric did not want to just the idea of that would make him upset. Yeah in a week is Seven a day It's a pretty good. I think 36 we said in a week So it's five a day has to eat five a day.

And you know, the bet. What kind of donut? Like a Krispy Kreme. Krispy Kreme. And so, he does not want to do this at all. And that's kind of what makes it fun. Because it was like, if we're talking about money, it's like, I mean, that's not as fun.

I like betting something that I'm gonna get to laugh at him feeling sick from eating all of these donuts. From living how you've been living. From living how I've been living. It's really actually kind of mean. What if it really wrecks his whole thing and now from then on he's eating five donuts away. He's the opposite, I become his trainer,

the student becomes the teacher. And then roles flip. So that's the ultimate goal. You're cutting his hair. I'm cutting his hair, he does. Eric stage and I am I have taken over Eric's existence and now Eric is me So I would say if you want but we could throw in what if I if y'all want to be involved in this at all 25 looks really good 25 looks good. This is strong guy. That's a strong man right there.

Yeah. 30 looks like a good, he's a nice guy. Yeah, 30's like his 30's like he takes his shirt off at the pool for sure. 100%. But it's like he just got fat. 30% just got fat. He used to be pretty awesome. And now he's probably 30.

Former athlete, now he's kind of. Now he's like that. 40% this has been his whole life. 40, I mean this is what he does. He's never not worn a belt. Also he's had. He doesn't care. He's had a belt his whole life. The new trend of not wearing belts, he's not even having a conversation. You can't even, he's like are you out of your mind? He goes, this is, he goes, we gotta have a belt. And then maybe he's done suspenders. He will be.

Something's gonna be holding that up. Yeah. Suspenders. But yeah, I mean. It's like shoulder problems from the suspenders. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's, yeah, he's got a belt all day long. I mean, cause you look up there to the 10%,

I mean, you don't need a belt. No. 30%, you know, I wear, always have a belt. I don't like no belt. I like, you know, but so basically I got to get down to 20% and- By when? It's- No time, Seth. Six, I mean, yeah, we were saying maybe six months. Maybe six months, so I gotta go pretty hard. There has to be some...

So what I was gonna say, if you take the donuts up to 50 donuts, y'all are allowed to take donuts off Eric's plate. So you can... You want me involved in this? You can come take donuts off. Ideally, I would say we do, you know, we're not allowed to take donuts off Eric's plate. So you can, you can, uh, you want me involved in this? You can come take donuts off. Okay. Ideally, I would say we do. He could wipe out Eric's debt. Yeah. You go a hundred.

I did. You say, they say we go a hundred donuts. Okay. But you're allowed, we're allowed to, anybody else can come take donuts off Eric's plate. Okay. And we can extend it to the NateLand world. The NateLand. I mean, I'm not saying like anybody, like listener, like I don't know when we're gonna do this. Or what we're gonna do. Yeah, but you can go to Abigail, like you know, our buddy Michael's, that's our commentator is here.

It's like we're gonna go Adrian, Felix, like all the Nate Land team, all the comics in the Nate Land, everybody can come help Eric out to get rid of these hundred donut problems. Yeah, I love that. That's fun, right? Yeah, it's very fun. And so, because Eric can't, he's gonna die. He was like, it adds, he goes, it's my life expectancy. You start bringing that up. Life expectancy. You're not fun. And then, and because of Julian McColl, we're all last, yesterday, I was shooting something that's gonna be very pretty cool. I can't talk about it

yet, but it will be soon. You're gonna see it just, but it was in between. This is all we talked about. And, you know, he's like, let's just do it. Eric's like, let's do it some other way. And we're, and we were like, Eric, but it's how sad you are that you have to eat these donuts is what fuels me to go that you're that, he's like, I can't do this. See, this bet wouldn't be fun with me. Exactly. What am I going to do? Like, hey, add four to your day. It's like, that's not, that's

getting nowhere. Take 10 off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You got to subtract. Yeah. I was like, I mean, we're all like five donuts a day. You're like, yeah, dude, this is nothing for me.

This is what I do. Yeah, but what's the challenge? What's the challenge? What's the catch? So the fun part. You're buying these donuts for me? Yeah, the fun part is to make Eric who and Eric was like, he goes, people are gonna be mad at you because you're trying to make someone to eat and

I was like, they, I don't think they will, Eric. No, no, no. I go, the fun part is making you eat. Now, I think the other fun part will be Eric has to convince you guys. I mean, look, y'all could all go 25 each with Eric and you're at a hundred donuts and you'd be done. But can I like reach out and say, Hey, Eric, I ate three day on your behalf. When we do it, I'll film it. I think I have a hundred donuts here. I think we got to do it.

We got to do it here. It's got to be in the day. And so it's got Eric's got to get to reach out to everybody and everybody's got to come help Eric out because Eric's going to be. What if you don't win? So that I don't know. Yeah. That's the only thing. I don't know what happens if I don't win because you know it's do I have to eat a hundred donuts? It's a win-win. It's a yeah. If I don't win I'm

I mean I'm in the donut. I'm eating donuts. Yeah. I haven't got out of it. If I don't win, Nate land will crumble. So that's the that's the other side of it. Maybe there should be a certain place that you get to to where it's like, all right, he's not punished, but you're not like it was like you made enough progress. Yes. To where he doesn't have to do a punishment. I would say, say six months for every if I'm at 36% body fat and I got to be at 20% in six months Is that possible? Yes. Oh, yeah. So I won't go to the one person that's in shape Pointless to talk to anybody else All right. So if I can get to 20% from 30 to 6%, if whatever number I'm at, so if I'm

at 36 now, and so say I end up in six months, I'm at 20, 24%, right? So that's 12, that means I've lost 12%. It's out of 100, it's like, you take 12? You just take the donuts off. I mean, you know, it's like, I don't know about a hundred. It's so 36 and 20. So I gotta lose 20. I gotta lose 16% body fat. 16%.

So could we, we could say it's each, what is 16? What does each one equal to be a hundred? So, you know, like 10 would be 160 donuts. If each one, if one percent equals 10 donuts, that's not a good number. Six point two, six point two, five. So we're say each percentage equals six and a quarter donuts, six and a quarter donuts. Yeah. Six, we say just six. We go be really doing the quarter stuff. Are you going to keep up with that? It's a donut hole. That's Six, was it just six? We're gonna be really doing the quarter stuff? Are you gonna keep up with that? It's a donut hole. That's a, yeah, you're gonna keep up with

the quarter stuff. I guess so. Yeah, well you have to. You're notary, you went to college. They weren't even doing fractions of when Bates went. So, I don't think they got to it yet, right? No. I don't know if got to it yet, right? No. I don't know if cursive was even started. So... No, that's all we did. Oh, yeah.

The quill. We're trying to get print. Me and Dusty did not go, so we obviously only do big numbers. We don't understand. I wouldn't even know how to put that in the calculator. I wouldn't have even known what to do either. I still don't know what this means. Yeah.

So y'all, so then, so say- Even this question you're trying to figure out. I don't know. So six donut equals 1%. So whatever, so if I get to the 16%, that's a hundred donuts. Yeah, I'll be, yeah, 96. Yeah, so if I get to 10%, that would be 60 donuts. Right?

So we'll do it that way. Okay. And yeah, Eric was not thrilled about this and I told him he will find out about it when he listens to the podcast. So this is Eric finding out about it. Yeah. Eric will get very sick. There's a little chance Eric is allergic to dairy. There's not a little chance he is. But we looked up Krispy Kreme donuts do not have dairy in them. That's what they said on the internet. But I imagine if you are dairy intolerant, a Krispy Kreme donut is still gonna mess you up a little. Yeah. He might die. But yeah, he could... Huh? There's probably no real food at all. That's real sugar.

Look and see, look up and see, is there dairy in a Krispy Kreme donut? We can get, we can get. That's probably all place. But I think we can get. Yes, most Krispy Kreme donuts contain dairy. They contain dairy products like milk, butter, yogurt. Yes, but does a glazed, say a glazed Krispy Kreme donut, does it have dairy in it?

Dairy-free. Yeah. I believe so. Are they, it's kosher. They are, they are kosher. That's good to know. Yeah. I think they all have dairy in them. Good to know there's no pork in there Because it's all made from eggs It's all made from eggs and then they have used milk and butter in it too, so I think it's gonna be tough to So we might pretty essential chance. We're kill Eric Well, that's really on you guys. We got to step it up a little more. That's not Eric's problem. That's your problem. I think we can find enough people that will come take donuts off the plate.

If, if we do find out that Eric will die from this, we will find him, you know. Um, I think it says a lot that he's taken this challenge. No one, it may kill him. I think he thinks you can't. Well, there's a big part of it. He has not really agreed to this. Okay. So that's the other side. I mean, he definitely was not completely agreeing to it last yesterday, but he was at it was how nervous he was is what made it fun. You know,

I mean, should we do he can't eat meat either.'s he got bit by a tick and so I suggested go get bit by another tick reverse it yeah do this challenge bring another tick back go back to your probably do some kind of Lyme disease detox I think yeah well like what food could be the doughnuts are though like what food could be hot dogs I don't know if he can eat hot dogs oh you want meat free and dairy free hot yeah i don't know if you can much worse yeah hot dogs would be i like a hot dog hot dogs i think you're gonna have trouble finding people to take hot dogs off your plate yeah yeah donuts i think you can i think he could get through look if he's a a good enough talker

maybe he can not eat any donuts everybody helps him out he's also the one training you right so you can just do a bad job at that yes that's true and he can also yeah when I lose you to eat the donuts yeah that is that's the fun part of this because if I do training if I'm able to do this I will then let him go because I will no longer need yeah exactly no I don't heal I would never do that. He started adding it to him. He'll still put your hair. Yeah. He's like, I found out this is a superfood. And then I go, but I don't even need to have my beard done in a special way because my face looks so good now. It's gonna be so chiseled, isn't it? I go, I'm actually shaving on my own. Now, Eric will always... do we say we do donuts? I say we do, yeah, and if you have any other questions

about the product, you can call 1-800-4-CRISPY and they'll answer all the questions you have. I wonder how many calls they get. 1-800-4-CRISPY. I wonder if. A lot of crank calls probably. Should we call them right now? Eric, if you're listening and worry, I'd say,

we've had numerous weight loss challenges we've announced on this podcast. We've never brought up again. So this one is the real deal, dude. Yeah, this is the year. This is the year. I look forward to this. Us. I look forward to seeing who we can get to come take doughnuts off his.

How many don't you think you take off his plate? I'll be our anchor. I'll Dusty, would you take some? I'll do one because I like him. You would only want one. He doesn't even like them. That's right. Yeah. You know what? I sometimes... I had a couple of doughnuts the other day and I feel like it wrecked my whole weekend. That's the point of this challenge. Yeah. I get to sit me on a smile roll. That's not good for Eric. Yeah, I know. Cause Eric, he's got, Dusty's got one. I felt so good at the-

Would your kids, would you let your kids take some off? I felt so good at the airport that I was like, you know what, I'm gonna get a couple of these doughnuts. I'll let Harper. I'll let Harper and her friends come. They can take some off. How many people can we get? I'll get a dozen for him.

Yeah. Yeah, that's nice. I'll put in some work. Yeah, he's gonna be fine. You've done eight. So you can do eight. Yeah'll get a dozen for him. Yeah. Yeah, that's nice. He's gonna be fine You've done eight. Mm-hmm, so you can do eight. Yeah, you're committed to eight. Sure. Yeah Yeah, that's good. So we're having enough people. Yeah, so right now we're looking at it. So make it to the 1220 21 donuts already taking off the plate. Yeah, that's 21 donuts taking off the plate. He's already down to 79 donuts It's almost not even a fun bet. I feel like Greg Warren would crush a bunch of donuts.

Greg will. Yeah, we'll get Greg down here. Greg will, you know. He's a consumer. Where we'll go. Yes, he is. Yeah. You know what we could do? If we get to this, maybe we'll have a fun, we'll do a show, like a, and make everybody can, we'll just do a show at the lab and we all just do pop-in sets. And we start the day. If you want to do a set, you have to eat a donut.

If you want to do that, yeah. That's fun. But we could have Greg, we have everybody come down. We're doing an eight land show so people could come to the show and then we'll park Eric in the lab thing and he'll have to eat these donuts. And then you know what? If people come to the show, they can also help Eric out too. Buy a ticket or eat five donuts.

Yes. Yes. Yeah. And Eric has to talk you into eating this donut. Yeah. Why you cut your hair? It's like bring a canned food, but instead it's eat donuts. It's the opposite of a canned food.

Yeah. It's the opposite of charity. It's, there is no, there is no charity. Yeah. But I, in fact, charities have to buy the donuts. But if you come down, yeah, that would be good. You come down and take some dough, you have to take at least five donuts off Eric's plate. And that's a ticket. Or you can just buy a ticket. Yeah. Ticket costs $7,000.

That's the hair exchange, because the ticket's $10,000. Or you can take five donuts. And they're like, well, that makes, there's no reason I would pay that. You have to eat the donuts on stage. That should be part of the show. No, no, if we're having it,

we're having it all before. The show would just be a fun celebration. I gotta know they're eating it though. Well, I think we will. They'll be out in the lobby. No throwing it away. No, they have to eat it. I gotta see you eat it.

I mean, we're filming where I have a whole big fun, it'll be a nice celebration. The date, so, what'd be a good date? July, is that like, think that's two? What's like a, you gotta give me some, you know. Three months. Three months? Not three months.

No. Four months? Four, four to six. Four to six. Four to six. Give me six months. You need a little wiggle room. You need a little wiggle room

because I'm probably gonna get a donut today. And the thing about- It's not fair that we weren't, we just talked about this. The thing about six months too is it gives you time to start feeling really good and relapse. Yeah. So six months, what if I do, yeah, the date is, you know... Oh, the ingredients list is...

So what is it? January? What is January something 16 or something right now? January 20th. No reason why that anything should be there. February, March, April, May, June, July. Cellulose go. July six months. Harper's birthday.

Harper's birthday, July. What about by Harper's birthday, July. Okay, that's perfect. Sorbenton mono. And if I'm under 20% we add a hundred donuts for every percent I'm under 20. What about by Harper's birthday, July? Okay, that's perfect. Sorbenton mono- And if I'm under 20%, we add a hundred donuts for every percent I'm under 20. Tocoph- No, huh?

Tocophere rolls? Yeah. And if you don't- De-sodium phosphate? If I don't do it. Just take on different movie rolls. Yeah, if I don't do it, I'll be- Instead of a leading man, just be the-

I want to be a leading man. Yeah. I love. Yeah, I don't. I guess there has to be. Yeah, I don't know if there's there's something for me. My, I think my punishment is this won't happen and that would make me sad. Yeah, that's good. Cuz I think it'll be. Cuz you want it to happen. I really want all of y'all have to eat all these donuts off Eric's plate used to control corrosion and scale innovation. And Eric's really having to be on the line.

He does not, I promise you, he does not want to do this. She's using a picture Eric up on your mirror every day with a donut. Yeah. With a donut. He's, he's, he's not happy. So, all right. A hundred donuts. How many seats are here? 100 seats? It's about 100. 100 people? 95. All right, so I mean, yeah, everybody's... I mean, we

could, yeah, we could do this easily. You could get it where... and if we... look, if Eric can get it where he's not even having to eat any donuts, that's the goal for him, and that's fine. And if you advertise that it has disodium phosphate in it you could tell them that also that ingredient is used for fireproofing material so your stomach will be fireproof after. Yeah. Yeah. The FDA says it's generally recognized as safe. That's nice. That's good. So it's all good. Whatever they're doing, they're doing a great job. They're so good. Yeah. I mean, you could do like burgers.

I mean, donuts like McDonald's burgers or something, but that's not. Donuts are the best. Donuts are who we are as a podcast. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. We are. We are donuts.

We are. I do like a burger competition. That's how we started. Yeah. Burgers just getting too many ingredients and stuff. Just stick with the doughnuts. We're not burger people, dude. Come on.

Don't be ridiculous. What if we did like two like- Hard-boiled eggs. If it was like- Oh my God. Cool hand look. If it was, yeah, if we did it here and we did, you got an hour.

And so now the crowds gotta be here. So whoever got the tickets and you you got an hour. And so now the crowds got to be here. So whoever got the tickets and you got to do an hour, you have to eat 100 in an hour as a group. Yeah. That's great. Now you have to stand on stage with your shirt off so we can measure you. Yeah, show you the 20%.

I went in that body scan. It's like, they just scan your body and she's, I've got, I'm gonna write some jokes on it so I don't wanna give it too much weight, but I mean, it's like, yeah, it wasn't. I'm not even on the charts of like, fat. Like they're like, and I'm not even on the bad shape chart. Like they were like, they didn't, my number's not even,

she's like, well, are you looking at the age? I go, it's not on any, if I was a hundred, I'm not in the, where I should be for what you think obese is. Like, because I'm not even, it doesn't matter my age. It was, it's not, yeah, it's a pretty tough one to do. What do you go to do that? I forget where, what it was called. Dex's scan is the, I forget what it was called. Dex's scan is the what you're doing. And then I forget it was like off Harding Road or something. Okay. But it was, I mean, it's kind of cool. Like you go through it. Yeah. And it just shows you, you know, everything you're, have good bones, have good bones. Oh, that dairy. You got, you got big, they go, your bones are big. I go, Oh, that dairy. You got you got big. They go, your bones are big.

I go, Lee, the big bone boy. It's a big bone. Yeah. So. All right. So that was my that's where I was at. That's good. That's pretty fun. That is fun. It's fun. OK. Packing for a trip this holiday season.

So a video you posted on the UFC fight and you just see Mel Gibson stand up for a second. I'm like, was that Mel Gibson?

Yeah. Kevin Costner was behind him next to him. Oh really? Yeah. Yeah. I went to the UFC fight Saturday and it was the first time I got to go where I was on the front row. I just sat next to Mel Gibson.

So it was like Julian went with me and, Mel Gibson, Mel Gibson's buddy, Adam Krohler, Kevin Costner, Bill Simmons. And like, so we're all just on the front row. And I talked to Mel, the whole fight, pretty awesome dude. Talked to Mel. Yeah. He met a cool Catholic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was cool, man. He was was it was like, you know, just funny you like talking about the we didn't talk about like Hollywood or anything like that. We just talking like dudes like talk about the fight. Yeah, but The whole it was awesome. I mean, you know, I obviously I'm a fan of the UFC So it worked out and that new dome that in you at dome where the Clippers play is awesome. It is awesome. It's the new level where domes are going to go. There's

the screen and stuff, but the fights were good and, uh, Nate's going to be in Passion of the Christ 2. Yeah. I'm playing Joseph. You got to learn Aramaic. It's going to be tough. Yeah. I'm playing Joseph. You got to learn Aramaic. Yeah. It's going to be tough. I guess someone go to the movie a little bit. They go, not that, you know, you're Joseph.

So you're B out pretty quick. Yeah. You're out pretty. He goes, we have you pop in, but you, yeah, it's a cameo more. Yeah. Uh, but it'll be right there for the main part of the movie. So that's cool. Uh, so yeah, so that's, that part of the movie. So that's cool.

So yeah, so that's where I was at. That's awesome. I was home, I could have been working, wasn't. It was our five year wedding anniversary. All right, congrats. That's great. Yeah, so yeah, all right. I love how we did this whole long diet thing and you go, yeah, so that's where I was at.

Yeah. Well, I was excited where I was at. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I was excited to talk about it. Yeah. And so I was at a place where I was talking about this diet. Yeah. So that's why.

Yeah. I could have asked y'all before where you were at. Uh-huh. And being at UFC, seeing people in really good shape will make you go, I want to get in shape. Yeah. Oh yeah, these guys are all in shape. Even in movies, you watch like Meet the Parents. Like Ben Stiller is a goofy kind of dork.

That's part of the plot, right? He's this like dorky male nurse. And then they're playing volleyball in the pool. He takes his shirt off and he's ripped. Steve Carell is in very good shape on The Office. Oh yeah. You don't want it to be, comedy's like that interesting thing where you don't, it's almost, you don't wanna be

like too in shape or something. I'm not trying to get, I mean, I, just what I wanna do, I can't live like this. There's nothing funny about a physically fit man. That's a line from Funny People. Yeah, oh yeah. No one wants to see Lance Armstrong do comedy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't plan on, I just don't want to walk around looking like a problem. 36%. 36% is you know, they're like just walk for 10 minutes a day Like that's the advice they give you that's how big you are is they just go like do a 10-minute walk

I get the blood flowing a bit of something take some off those joints. Yeah, do you get out of bed? Yeah Here are some aerobics you can do sitting down. Yeah, just a lot of you know, I'm gonna be in a pool with old women Yeah water aerobics. Yeah You know, I'm going to be in a pool with old women. Yeah. Water aerobics. Yeah. Dustin, you do the Tonight Show last week. I did last week. I did the Tonight Show at a hot set. Super fun. It was a good set.

I did the Comedy Seller too, the night before. The last time I did the Comedy Seller, I did not feel good about it. And I was not pumped about it. Wait, it was before the Tonight Show last time? Just as a prep. I always do it as a prep for the Tonight Show. And the last time, I mean, pumped about it. Wait, it was before the Tonight Show last time? Yeah, just as a prep. I always do it as a prep for the Tonight Show. And the last time, I mean, it went fine. I won them back by the end,

but it was the first half was not very good. And then this time it was super hot. Oh, that's great. Like so hot, I was like, I could just go home now. I don't even need to do the Tonight Show. This feels good. Did you go to the cellar or the Village Underground? I did both.

Yeah, yeah. Did the cellar first, then the village underground. Saw Derek Stroop, he was there doing some sets. Saw Ryan Hamilton there, he was doing some sets. And, but yeah, tonight show was great. It was a hot set, feel good. Number five. Five, dude.

Five-timers club. That's insane. Yeah, I think they said Nate's done it 15 times now. Something like that. Yeah, but I think it's a mix of just being on the show too. Like I'm starting doing panel. Counting panel as well. He goes, but yeah, I mean, I think I was like third or 10, 11, 12, 13, something like that. But it is fun to do it multiple times because it's nice to, you know, because it's like, you know, you do it, but it's nice to be asked to come back

and then to come back and- You know what's the cool part about those sets is where they have the wide shot and you see Fallon in the darkness, like keeling over with laughter. That's the best. I could hear the band laughing this time. I really felt like this was one of my better sets.

And they're not your usual audience. Yeah, I felt like, yeah. I mean, uh, well, they always laugh. They're always nice, but it's like, I really could hear them. Yeah. Yeah. They're big comedy fans. Yeah. Yeah. I could hear when I, I always like to do the set, you know, on the show before the show, just to, so everybody, you do it. I always do it. Oh, really? I kind of to the crew. Yeah. And this time the crew actually was laughing

and I was expecting no one to laugh. So it actually threw me when they started laughing at my stuff. Yeah. And yeah, it was great. I mean, it was just fun all around. Yeah, I like to do it. I really like to kind of have a bad set before I. Before I before I go just so I because when you

walk out for people that don't know when you do like you kind of got to run through the show you rehearse you as a stand up they go if you want to do your whole set like the musician might play their whole song. Yeah. And so you could do the set. I've I always do I would go out there and you know maybe I did one joke or something about it do the whole set I've, I always do, I would go out there and, you know, maybe I did one joke or something, but I didn't do the whole set. But that is interesting that you like to do it. That makes sense to go and you, cause you get a rhythm of like, this is what it's

going to, you've already said it in the room. And so you kind of know what to do. And it, you know, uh, chances are it's going to go worse for the crew than it will when you actually, so it's like, you know, I like to have a set where I'm like, I want to see how, what jokes will work every time and what jokes potentially might not work. So that when they don't work as well as I, as they have other times, I'm prepared for that. Yeah. It's nothing like a joke working every time and then you tell it and it doesn't work in your life. whoa, what happened?

It throws me. So I like to know all possible scenarios. And it was great. And then I went to Birmingham, Alabama, did a sold out show, a lot of friends and family, a lot of people I haven't seen in a long time came out. Matter of fact, we took this picture. This is me and I had some stepbrothers

when I was growing up from the time I was like four to 13, about nine years. And this is when I, in 1986 on the right, and I've not seen the guy in the back in about 30 years. Wow. But he came to the show, we all hung out and I made him recreate this photo here. Did you recognize him from, or had it been so long?

I had seen him on Facebook prior. He actually married a girl I went to high school with that I was already friends with. So I saw him on there, but physically seen him in 30 years. And it was great. We hung out, we had a good time. Talked about some old times.

I got a joke where I talk about drinking gas. You know, I was trying to siphon out of a lawnmower. It's because we used to have a charge account at this old country store and where we go, oh, I want to get some gas. And he would just, you know, let us put it in and then my dad would pay the bill, but they jacked it up. They started buying cigarettes and beer, jacked it up.

So we got cut off. So in order to ride the four wheeler, we needed gas. So we tried to siphon out of the lawnmower and then I accidentally drank it. And I was a, you know, it was a fun time. But a burped up gas for like a week. I mean, it is it's something. It's a real deal. Yeah.

But yeah, it was great to see those guys and they look good. That's awesome. You know, they pointed out clearly these guys are biological brothers here. Yeah. And I'm the staff. But yeah, it was nice. That's awesome. And then I went to Pensacola, Florida. Another great show. Yeah, two theater shows to hot weekend. One sold out one very close to being sold out. And that's sold out. That counts. Yeah, we have single

seats left. That's true. That's true. So there I mean, those are sold out. Yeah, it was a great weekend. Yeah, I had a couple weekends off. And it's nice to nice to be back to get back in the groove. Yeah, it is. Get back in the groove. Yeah, I got on the subway and I've been on the subway in a while that guy was just looking at his phone. It looks like he's passed out. But that's great, man. Yeah, you know, it's nice to be because I watch I stay on the internet a lot, right?

And I, you know, the internet is always making New York look like it's just completely collapsing and everything's awful and bad. And I had a great time. Nothing bad happened. Nothing bad ever happens to me in New York City. Yeah. When you're going there to perform on the Tonight Show. Yeah.

And you stay in 30 Rockier, you're right. Rock of Phyllis. Well, that's true. What's everybody complaining about? That is true. And you stay in 30 Rock. You're right. Rock and Phil said. Well, that's true. What's everybody complaining about? That is true. They treat you like royalty here. That is true. That's literally kind of the problem they have.

Well, maybe. Is that everybody just goes, I don't understand. My butler's cool. And he's never done anything to me. The point is. I rode the subway once in 1987 and it was fine. Even Birmingham, Alabama, everybody says it's dangerous. I had a great time.

Yeah, you tend to gonna have a great time. How are your brothers again? When you don't have to grind it out. That looks like Judah Friedlander. Like I had a hand on his hat? Yeah. He did. I didn't see him. You have people dressing up like you at the shows. Exciting times.

Yeah. All right. That was Jimmy. In that video, that's Jimmy Fallon doing my wave. Oh, yeah. It's fun. It's dusty. So I gave a little wave. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. Well, Aaron, you were in Detroit. You skipped yourself, but you were in Detroit. I was in Detroit. We mercifully canceled those shows. Oh, you did? That were during the game. Yeah. Oh, wow. It was the right move, dude. Yeah. Because that club- Did it before or like that day? Like two days before. Yeah. I go, why don't we call and float the idea? Yeah. And then they brought it up before we could even mention it. So we were like, yeah,

we'll do it. Yeah. The club is right next to the stadium. It was chaos. I mean, it was like the Superbowl there. Yeah. So it would have been pointless to do the show. Yeah. I was home by 7 30 AM Saturday. It was great. And then also if the shows had been after it'd be a bit of sad and the lions got it was a bad loss. So the mood would have been one guy emailed us that he went to both and Friday night was still worse. Um, but still worse. Um, but I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I heard your shows were great. They were fun. They're fun. Your old buddy, Daniel Rucker was at it. Oh,

yeah. Yes. He texted me. Uh, he said he loved talking with he said he was a DCA guy. And then I said, remind me your name. He said, Daniel Rucker. I was like, you've been named dropped. I mean, dozens of times on the podcast. Yeah, good guy. Him and his wife were great. Anyway. Awesome. All right. Let's get started with the comments. There we go. This doesn't start the it doesn't start the engagement part.

That's right. So now we're talking to you people. Yeah. Leon Weiswald. Married into that name. New favorite episode, Nate and Dusty were in rare form, especially during the back-to-back conversation of big guys on planes in Lebanon DMV. Boom. Yeah, it was a hot, it was a hot, yeah. I mean, he's saying rare form.

So basically saying finally. Yeah. Very rare. We're in a good groove right now. I mean, Aaron and Brian did what they did, but we have a high, we have a high ceiling. Y'all just, the bar is high. Brian and I have to show up. Yeah, yeah.

We've done our part. You done, yeah. Angie Sickler, at the age of 14, 15, my son and daughter were Vine stars. Chris, is that a weed? And had a merch deal in the works with Vine, but I finalized the deal just as Vine was going under. Fast forward to now

and a bunch of randos online are reposting his top videos and selling merch based on his videos. That's crazy. Do you have like, oh, I looked it up. Do you know this? No, no, not by the name at least. Yeah, I like to think Angie was really dragging her feet on the deal. This is her regret. Well, TikTok's back for now. Yeah. We'll see. That's a noun, but your friend is, I'm not gonna read it.

Yeah, I mean, that's the thing is the internet and that kind of stuff, it's the Wild West. And so, you know, it's impossible to kind of say, but this is almost a, here's the example of what I believe if you want to do something. Like something like this means, all right, you had the idea, but that means you can't just look at it as like, well, now a bunch of people are taking money from us and we should have, we should have capitalized on that.

You should create a new Chris, is that a weed? Like that's how you got to think of it. Should have Like that's how you gotta think of it. Should have kept it. You gotta think of it and it's and you just might still it's I'm not even saying you did anything wrong or she might not be. I looked him up he's doing great. Yeah you might not yeah he's got it now he's on I mean he's he's he's still got a presence he oh that's good I'm forgetting now exactly what he's doing now but okay yeah so he's doing so he's doing good all right yeah but that's it but just this is more general advice for someone talk about it I was talking to

someone about it where they people think well like I'm about to I need to capitalize now on something and you're if you're in that mindset of capitalizing out, then you just gotta be aware that like, there is gonna be no future then. So then go like, I'm capitalizing now and then my plan will be something completely different. Otherwise, if something pops off and then you got, wow, everybody's looking at me now,

now you gotta create, it's not about capitalizing on what that was at that moment. You gotta go create the next thing. Yeah, keep it going. Because then once they keep it going, because then once they can rely to know I can come to this person and they're gonna continue to bring me entertainment.

That's how you do it. I think too many people get like a viral thing and then they go, I gotta make everything off of this right now. And then they focus on that. And then you're, you know, it's like just, it's like, all right, you figured something out. See if you can repeat that or just accept, yeah, I'm trying to go get as much cash as I can just to duck out and then be like, you know, go, this is just, this was a fun moment in my life. Like the, like the girl, the hoctua girl that, uh, seemingly is in trouble now. I don't know, but she really capitalized. She got, go. Yeah. It's like they do something like that. You know, it's like,

you don't, cause when you get something like that pops a viral, it's rarely, you've had enough time to really prepare. So you're then asked to like, well, everybody's watching. So there, everybody's like, all right, well come do a whole thing. And you're then asked to like, well, everybody's watching. So everybody's like, all right, we'll come do a whole thing. And you're like, oh, I can't do a whole thing. Right, especially like with her, where you didn't actually do anything creative. Something just happened to you.

That's cap. But if you do it, you could probably do it again. If you create it. Well, I don't know. I mean, that's where it's tough because they want to you got to go You got to go grind it out. Yeah, it's hard to make someone Someone to go grind something out when you just have immediately been giving a million dollars Oh, yeah, so like when you're you know, it would take enough

Awareness, I mean it's almost impossible to be honest. It's like you would have to get it in like a child star. Like maybe, you know, cause it's like when they go get that and they become famous so quick, it's what are you gonna tell that person? What are you gonna tell them when they're the, you know, you know, be like, well, what do you wanna do now? And they're like, well, I want to do this other idea

or this other crazy idea. They don't really know what they're building off of because they haven't had to go like through the entire ropes to earn it. I looked back at my career and I would have wanted all the success when I was just started. I was trying to get that.

It never happened. And I look back on it now, you know, I was blessed. Thank the Lord it didn't happen. Because it's now I'm in a much better position to be like, I can make decisions. My emotions are out of it when you're young or you're very emotional and you make very, you know, my emotions are out of a lot of any decisions I make now.

And they're just, and you gotta kind of be like that. And it's hard when you're, not this person, but you know, in general, it's hard for someone to do that. Whatever you go, if you wanna get into the comedy, if you wanna get into music, just be prepared to be like, this is it, I'm grinding it out, and I'm gonna figure it out. And then, and it works, I see there's a lot of guys,

comics we started with, that are writers now, and maybe they're not doing standup like they did when we first did it, but they're writers, and they're creating're not doing stand-up like they did when we first did it but they're writers and they're creating shows and you learn a tool learn something learn a tool yeah an act have something you can sit on Brooke McLeod Smith Brooke McLeod Smith she's like she got married and kept the McLeod yeah, she likes, that's a good name. That is a good name. The McCloud family is prevalent. Is that the word? Prominent? Prominent. Yeah, prevalent too. Oh yeah, what's prevalent? Prevalent feels like a lot. I don't know that there's a lot of McClouds. Maybe, you know. Oh, prevalent means there's a lot of, So Smith is prevalent. Yes. McCloud is...

Prominent. You're trying to say they're like an important family. Yes. Yeah. So the Burke, McCloud, McCloud... McCloud's get things done. McCloud's get things done. They run the city. Who's the McCloud's?

Everybody knows McCloud's. Oh, okay. Everybody knows McCloud's. It's the McCloud's. Okay. It's a strong name. It sure is. McCloud's run the town. Yeah. It's so strong that you're like,

I'll take your name, but I'm not gonna drop the other. Let me do your name a favor. It'd be insane to drop my name. The Smith family has never dealt with this type of publicity around their last name. Yeah. But because of the McCloud got attached to it. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah. My dad had prodigy. What? My dad had prodigy. I think that's the internet in the 90s. Yeah. Oh, okay. My dad had prodigy in the early 90s. I mean, come on. This is a McCloud. They had internet early 90s. My dad had prodigy in the early 90s, which was an online service that had message boards. I was also the first in my county to get AOL. I mean, this is the MacLeod family.

When I searched for other people, there was nobody. Yeah, because you're one of one. Finally, a friend I knew also joined, but it took a while. And probably another MacLeod. Yeah, this is MacLeod family. That's so wild just to be on the internet alone. Yeah. And there's nobody else on there.

That's how early it is. That's crazy. I'd never heard of Prodigy. Online service from 1984 to 2001. It's one of the major Internet service providers of the 1990s. Yeah, I remember Prodigy. Wow. I don't remember. I don't think I remember Prodigy. Where are they at now? They're defunct. They're part of AT&T now. Oh. Or they became part of AT&T. Got married and got off of it.

Yeah. They closed. Do they always say it like that? Found it and then they say fate with a company? If it's a company that no longer exists. That seems like a harsh- It's like what happened to it. But it doesn't really seem defunct.

Maybe I'm not clear on what defunct means, but it doesn't seem defunct if you're now a part of AT&T. Yeah, you like sold a part of AT&T, you joined up with them. You teamed up no longer in effect or use, not operating or functioning. I think they became part of AT&T and then AT&T phased them out. That's what it feels like. It feels like that. You know, they still came in. They're part of AT&T strength now.

Okay. Yeah. Maybe I got to read up on this. Never heard of it. We're just straight AOL. You've got mail. Well, yeah, you were later. This was early.

When I was in middle school, AOL InstaMessenger was huge and for me to be on it, I took up the one phone line we had in the house. My dad was a pastor and he would get to work next morning to find out someone in the church had died and they couldn't get a hold of him all night because our line was always busy. He would be furious with me. Also, that I could post a song lyric from Nerv- oh, all-

Also that. Also that I could post a song lyric from Nirvana. That was big. You had an away message on AIM and you put lyrics to a song. Oh really? Oh yeah. It was, someone would message you and you weren't there.

If you were AFK, you put up an away message away from keyboard. You put up an away message and then you know your buddy list shows up. What would yours be? Oh dude, I had all kinds of embarrassing stuff like good Charlotte lyrics, all this. I was the worst. It was embarrassing. It was super embarrassing. Yeah. Were you a teenage girl when you were in high school? We're not judging. I mean it's fine. Yeah. We think it's great. Good Charlotte. That first album was great, but you having a way message. So they go, oh, he's online, but he's AFK. Let's see what he's up to.

And then your way message would be, you know, just a way to express yourself. Would you sing this song or it's typed out? It's just like text. Seems like people from Madison Hills church should realize that they could have reached her on AOL and say if they couldn't get ahold of her dad, get her AOL handle, call Brooke McLeod Smith and say, send her a message. And be honest with you, you might have a health problem if this many people were dying at your church. He's like, it's like every week, 40 people did.

I know I show up to church and everybody's like, where it happened. We called you last night. He's like, oh gosh, Madison, she was on the internet. I had no idea. The guy who, uh, last week we talked about Morse code, the guy who invented it, Morse, he did it because he was like in New York on business or something. And his wife died and they had to send him a letter like

Saying she's sick. But by the time he got it and got home She was already dead and he was like I want to invent a very sad a quicker way to Get news. Yeah It's just funny that's how they had to do it back then. Somebody had to hand write a letter. Your wife died. Your wife's sick. Your wife's sick.

Oh, that she's sick. And she died. Yeah. Yeah. So wait, was he already home by the time the letter got there? No, he got the letter. He got the letter and then goes, oh, I need to go home. And it took him like two weeks to get home.

And then she's dead. And that's funny to you. It's still kind of funny. Yeah. That's how Elvis died. But Yeah, that's how Elvis died. But I think that's how I bet back then you knew like you got a letter that she's sick. You're like, I don't know. Yeah, I'm going to.

Yeah, you almost got to assume the word. You just basically just got to say goodbye every time you leave that. Oh, just speaking of speaking of Elvis, just real fast. I got to send a TikTok video to them. TikTok was down for 12 hours. It was a sad time. Came back. I found a video. It says that Elvis is Donald Trump. So I sent that to them. And so.

That's gotta be true. In case you were wondering where he is. Something like that's gotta be true. Grace, Aaron doesn't even look overweight at all anymore. Oh, wow. So it's funny that he is still worried about his plain seat. All the guys on the podcast, just like the weight jokes, but he looks pretty normal size to me.

Granted, there is a big table in the way. Thank you, Grace. That's very nice. 35%. She has a big, I think she has a big TV and sounds like she's given a lot of grace. Yeah. Yeah. She's got one of those old, old big TVs.

That's the box. Yeah. Yeah. The rear projection TV. Where do you watch this from grace with binoculars across the street? It's yeah. No, Aaron, you want to do your body scan? Will you say your body?

I already know I'm 35%. That would be great. If anybody else wants to be vulnerable. I'll do it. Isn't it just a, it's, you can just calculate it, right? Based on. Yeah. But if you want to get punched in the mouth, go do it for real.

And then you watch some girl you never met tell you that's where it's the real deal. Just, you know, she comes in with a clipboard. Yeah. She's like out of college and she's like, hi, uh, it's the most. I've never seen someone like this. Yeah. And you're like, Oh, Oh no. Uh, Anthony Goodwin.

Dusty pitched an idea to Trey that he should have created a burner account to go against himself. Now I'm starting to believe that Dump Dusty might actually be Dusty. He is a genius. Yeah. Ooh. You know, the Dump Dusty guy has like an AI profile picture.

Almost looks like me. The Dump Dusty guy is trying to be me. Well, they say you hate the things you see in yourself. Yeah. You know, this guy, he was saying you are, you were Dump Dusty. He was even on the, even popped up on the Tonight Show set to say, there's no one more. Did he really? Yeah. This guy, there's no one more obsessed with him than this guy. He's got Google alert set up for you. Even I, as if I were the burner account,

I couldn't get on it that fast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Becky Waller, my husband and I saw Greg Warren in Tacoma

and it was a riot. We also made some new friends. The woman sitting at our table was wearing a Nate Land hoodie and her husband had on a, we're having a good time t-shirt. All right. When I told them we got to see tickets to see Aaron again, when he comes back in February, they hopped on their phones and got tickets to the same show.

All right. I love that. That's what we love. While Greg's on stage, buying tickets to my show. That's exactly right. Take that, Greg. Yeah. That's when we want you guys to buy tickets, during Greg's set. We've always said that.

Yeah. Yeah, you're like, sure, this is a riot, but we could do better. As you watch Greg, always remember, you should be thinking about us and where we are at. Yep. Hey, I think Greg could come in. What do you think he's going to come in with donuts? Like he's old, so I don't know if he can eat beans.

And he's healthy. Like he is. He's old, but he's an athlete, man. He's still got it in him. You think Greg's going to be able to knock out? I think he could house a couple dozen. I think so. I really think so.

You think he can? I think it's going to put him out of commission for a long time. Yeah. He needs to be off. Yeah. We need to have like probably somebody on standby. Just like, uh, we're having ambulance. Yeah. Uh, like in Foxcatcher. Yeah.

Did you ever see that? Yeah. Yeah. Channing Tatum, when he went off the wagon to start eating cake and all that. Oh yeah. Then he had to lose 12 pounds in 30 minutes to make weight. It's a true story. I've never, I've never watched that. Oh yeah. And he had to lose 12 pounds in 30 minutes to make weight.

It's a true story. I've never watched that movie. Kaylee Kendrick. I'm currently listening to old episodes. I just listened to Nate talk about the time he visited Djibouti. I'm from the States but have lived in Djibouti for a few years and got so excited to hear y'all talk about it. Nate mentioned that people work until noon and then everything's closed. That is true. It's so hot here that everyone in the country stops everything to rest midday. A countrywide nap time is one of my favorite things about living here.

Wow. It's true. Yeah. It sounds fun. Yeah, it is. It's crazy. It all just shuts down. So how early do they start though? Is it a pretty early day, you think? Yeah, I think they get started very early

and then they have to just, you know, everybody lays low and then you come back out there in the night. How hot does it get? I mean, it's gotta be. She said, I think it was like like 85 is considered cold to them. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I wish it was 85 degrees in this room.

The room's freezing. Yeah. I love it. This is what it is. This is great. Yeah. This feels like right when you get into a walk-in freezer. Grace should hear that, right? It's like that's what we're talking about here. We're like, everybody's freezing and Aaron's like, I love it.

I like my toes to be a little cold. Yeah. That's a good feeling. This is right up your alley. Not a lot of circulation getting there to those toes. Yeah. Come on, man. Come on, man.

That's too far-dusting. Man, I know this, you used to have gout, okay? Oh, okay, sorry about that. He's said GALT. OK, sorry about that. I am sorry about that. Yeah, he's got scraped out. I don't think of you as a really big guy either. To be honest, I just like making the joke. I love it. Yeah, I love it.

I don't think of Brian is that old either. I just like making the joke. Yeah. Well, they get your glasses. Well, let me get your glasses. Well, I have the one thing that like we tease you about reading. Yeah. Everybody's wait, you guys can improve on that. There's something you get to. I'm just going to get older.

You're getting worse and worse. Yeah, but I'm getting older. Well, all right. I'll start making fun of your age. Yeah. I mean, I mean, you, I mean, it's hard it's hard because you need them to make fun of my age. I'm sorry. I don't think you're going to remember to do it.

But when I'm 88 and you're 81, you think you'll still be? Yeah, a couple of guys. What is it? Born in the 70s, graduated high school in the 90s. That's right. I told someone that this weekend. They loved it Cause they were like a little older than me. Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson. Yeah. Mel Gibson, yeah. He's older than you.

He is. Yeah. Devin Lee Johnson. I would say that I'll tell you that you don't feel old. We make fun of it, but you don't feel old. Oh, thank you. Cause I don't think I would make the jokes if I felt you felt old.

Yeah. Like if you were hobbling in here or whatever and had trouble getting down at the desk. Right. Right. No. Yeah, we do. Help see you have a two year old. Well, we have we did build a ramp at this club in in anticipation because we know it's coming. It's coming. Yeah. Well, that is true. Yeah, it is true.

Devon Lee Johnson, Dusty, I've seen Wicked on Broadway in New York twice and I can promise you, the movie version is a thousand times more amazing. I know how you feel about Witchcraft, but I promise the movie will bring you so much joy. They did not ruin it. They made it so much better.

That's a rare thing to hear, right? Yes. Well, that's a rare thing to hear right yes mm-hmm well that's interesting I appreciate thing I definitely Johnson we're still going on camera oh you are yeah so we just reported the dark yeah Devon Lee John I'm sorry recording in the dark you know I mean I've got a fun this is the third podcast in a row with a power yeah yeah do we show it yeah oh then let's just keep going yeah the discussion last one okay here we go yeah all over there's a discussion around favorite venue types was Kent Oliver the discussion around favorite venue types was, Kent Oliver, the discussion around favorite venue types

was interesting. You mentioned clubs, theaters, and arenas. Has Nate ever considered a stadium show? Or do you think audio would be too difficult to master for comedy? You know, we'll see. We'll see. I'm thinking about stuff.

Are you? I feel like, and I don't know, maybe I'm wrong because I've never been to a stadium comedy, but I feel like it is more for the novelty to be like, look, I did a stadium. Because it can't be super good for comedy. Look, I can see, I want to do some pretty big stuff. I, you know, yeah, I do have, I don't know, I think you could do it. And I mean, look, with our arenas, I mean, I really make sure I do the best I can to make it with audio. We're doing screens on this next tour. Like I do everything to make it where you can, I want you to have the best experience in here.

We have more trucks because of this. We're doing stuff to make it where you can do it. So I do like the challenge of doing it. Now I would never plan on doing a big stadium tour, like, you know, for doing like this whatever, but if I could, if I, you know, I don't know if I you know Titans got a new dome coming Yeah, let's open the Titans. Yeah. It's like maybe there's a you know, who knows we'll see but You know, I don't know what we're all you know, yeah, so We love talking about our helix mattresses

I have had my helix mattress for almost three years now. Nate's parents just got one and they love it. We all do. It improves how I sleep. Everyone knows I love their pillows. We talk about it all the time, but it has helped with my sleep. Brian and Aaron have sleep apnea, well documented. And they said-

Throwing us under the bus here. Come on, Helix. And they said, this is an ad read that everybody gets, every podcast. It says, Brian and Aaron, they'll put your last names in there. And they said their Helix mattresses has helped with it. Sleep apnea, that is, that they have. I'm getting better sleep. Aaron's getting better sleep and Brian is getting better sleep. My old mattress was one of those old springs, you know, just real wires coming through stabbing me in the back. I had a lot of tetanus shots

coming out because I kept getting stabbed by the springs. You wake up with smeared blood on the mattress and you're like what happened? Yeah, but finally I realized how bad that sleep was for me, and Helix fixed that issue. It's great for hot sleepers, people with back pain or snores. It's for everyone. It's a good mattress.

The pillows are great. It is a good mattress. They're really good. I like them. I do sleep good on my Helix mattress. My whole family does. Yeah. Go to helixsleep.com slash nate today.

That's helixsleep.com slash Nate, helixsleep.com slash Nate. All right, this week, I thought since you had your big DCA weekend, we could talk about high school. There we go. Right. And I just saw a bunch of friends that I went to high school with

this past weekend. It's like a reunion. Yeah. So we're all 10 years apart. We all have our do you do five year reunions? For high yeah um i don't maybe they do but they're super casual i feel like 10 years is the first kind of let's make a big deal because you're 15 this year i guess so 25 we did a 10 and then the 20 was during 2020 so it got canceled so they are doing a five this year 25 but is it hard to get canceled in high school that definitely did not believe in the reason it was getting canceled? Opel Ica. Well, I bet it was for me.

I was like, let's get together. I wouldn't be in Opel Ica. They just go, y'all just had it like normal. And you go, we didn't even realize what was going on. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. So you're at 20, your 25 is next. 25 is this even realize what was going on. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Uh, so you're at 20, you're 25 is next. 25 is this year. Yeah. Oh yeah. What do you know? 35 for me. 35 for you? Yeah. And what is it buying? So I'm 97.

You're gonna be like 28. Oh, 28. Wow. So I'll be in 27. I'll be 30. 30 year reunion. Wow. And I saw a lot of them this past weekend. I see, and I see a good bit just traveling now. Uh, but yeah, 30 year. That's crazy. This would be college stuff.

You talked to anybody from college? Um, some, but a lot more high school. Yeah. Do you, is there college reunions or is that not a big thing? Yeah. I performed in my college reunion last year. Is that like, is that as big as high school or is high school more than known for reunions? Um, they're, I mean, I don't know. I care more about the high school one. Cause I keep in touch more with college friends. We talk all the time, especially with like football team doing as well as it's doing. We're talking all the time now.

So, and you grew up with high school, like high school people, like you grow up with your whole life. It was kindergarten with them. Yeah. Yeah. But college people tend to look down on anybody that does not go, like college people are elites that look down on people. Yeah. So I would think once you go to college, you're like, obviously I'm not gonna talk to anybody from high school because I... Well, you keep them around to feel good about yourself. You know what I mean?

Okay. You gotta know like, what do the common folk think about this going on? Like you go to it and you go, hey, how much is milk? That's right. And you find out all that kind of stuff. Yeah. Cause I want to run for president.

Yeah. People still buying eggs. Yeah. And they go, yes. Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. That's cool, man.

Yeah. Uh, who's the president? Cause it doesn't matter to us. Cause we're above it. Yeah. Who? Well, that's cool, man. That's cool.

Yeah. I like that. Do you know that, do you watch your show, uh, succession? No. Okay. It's a great show. He's an example of elite people watching it Well, that's literally the whole the whole point of it We started me and Laura were gonna trust our watching the other because we don't watch anything together and I was gonna start watching it

I know it's very much talked about it. It's a great show. That's a show that I would use as an example in Hollywood what I want to make Is that you got a show like that, that they're making that kind of stuff where it is, I'm not saying it's not the best show ever made, I'm not saying any of that stuff, but it's not, you're making it for each other and you're not making it for mass viewing. And so that's what- It's a, it's pretty inaccessible, a lot of it. Yes, it's... I think I could watch it, I think I could like it, I think... It's the idea of like, it's Neiman Marcus and you're like,

well, but you're not making any more Walmarts. You're only making Neiman Marcus's. But you could take the whole story of that show and bring it down just like 10 income brackets and it would still be the same show. It's about the family dynamics and all that kind of stuff. But anyway, but in that show, it takes place during COVID and it's never addressed on the show.

And the creator of the show was like, well, it did not affect people this rich at all. So just never even address it at all. They're never wear a mask. They'd never do anything because these are billionaires. They're never wear a mask, they never do anything. Cause these are billionaires, they're doing whatever they want anyway. That's a good way of getting around having to write in COVID, but it's also probably pretty accurate. Yeah. Oh yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I don't want to be yelled at about success. I just say like, as I just always think of it, I don't think anybody's making you could make stuff that is like said more accessible yeah that would be more but then that's the show though when every it wins it wins every award and does everything because it's great it deserves it but you got to be like you're killing yourself with these award shows then you're like you know you got

to have some big mood you got to have people big movies. You got to have people. You know, the Oscars can't be. I get it. You're making like this perfect art. But like, I mean, dude, people have lives. They need to go watch one Mission Impossible movie a year and then go back to their busy lives. I think we got to start selling DVDs again. You know, they do say that's what's killing comedies, right?

Is it's like people, you would make a comedy, you would make a certain amount of money at the box office, but then you would make a ton of money off DVDs. Certain ones like, I saw a thing like talking about Grandma's Boy, was not a very good box office success, but huge DVD money. But they knew the whole time, right? It's not gonna make money.

But nobody wants to do that now because you're not gonna make the DVD money. I say we demand physical media. But I think the reason they stopped making it is because people weren't buying it. It's not like they just decided to stop making them. We gotta demand it. Well, yeah.

If we did, they would make them. You said, I'm not gonna sell it to Netflix or to anybody. You have to buy it. Physical media. Yeah, but maybe not DVD, but you have to buy it on your CD. And nobody would watch it. Yeah.

But maybe, maybe not, unless it was good. All right. Somebody uploads it on, somebody's touring it online. Yeah, that's, you know what? torn it online. Yeah. Yeah. That's, you know what? That is tough. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Was that a storyline in succession? That's what I, that's what I always feel like you guys said. That was the West Wing episode. Yeah. Oh, okay. Mm-hmm.

Okay. Um. West Wing was a mass hit, right? Oh, yeah. See? You make it, you can make stuff that's. Oh, yeah. Won a ton of Emmys and everything else. I think that's when all that stuff was great

Yeah, because it was like it was it was shows that people were watching now. It's It's kind of the award shows are for each other for them Yeah, you know and it's like I know what you mean. Yeah, like when you you know They even like they brought Vin Diesel out to do like the, they had to put in, I'm sure the Golden Globes like, all right, box office hit. And you're like, why are y'all, why do you hate the slop for the pigs awards? Basically? Yeah.

Why? Like you're like, why do y'all hate the guy who you down so much on anything that can work for everybody yeah the guy who went for baby reindeer his acceptance speech was basically the opposite of what you're trying to do he was like finally hollywood it's a complicated world out there we need to tell complicated stories and thank you for taking a chance on this complicated story they do need to do that but you need to know that your Marvel movies are the only reason they're able to do that.

They subsidize all of it. They can't. So there has to be a realization to go like, yeah dude, everybody wants, I saw Baby Reindeer. It's great, the girl in that movie, in that show, I met her, she's unbelievable and she won everything. But so you can't do that. No one's against that. Everybody wants to do that. And I'm not saying we need more Marvel movies, but you also have to go,

there has to be a medium ground. There's been like a middle class. There has to be a middle class of movies. It can't all be like nothing and then a Marvel movie. There needs to be a business structure. Vin Diesel is the only name you guys have said in a while that I've recognized. Yeah, I've not heard any of these movies. All right. High school Vin Diesel. Now we're talking. That's a movie I saw right after high school.

Yeah. Fast and Furious. I brought it back. I like that. They're still coming out. Yeah. Twenty five years later. What was your high school mascot, Dusty? The Bulldogs. We had two though. It's original.

We had two. Just like Auburn. Well, no, they were both Bulldogs, but we had two live mascots. One was called Opie and Lyka. We had a guy and a girl, Opie and Lyka. Oh, that's fun. Oh, that's cool.

You had a real one. They were Bulldogs? Like dressed up Bulldogs. Oh, that's cool. You had a real, They were bulldogs? Like dressed up bulldogs. Yeah, who? And then we had the, Wait, a live, like, are you saying like dogs? Like mascot, like they were dressed. A person in a costume.

Yes, yes, yes. I thought you meant like a, I thought you meant actual dog. But we had a bulldog named Otis. Oh, so you did have a, Yeah, we had a real bulldog too, yeah. So a live mascot, I would, when you say that, I was thinking dog.

I was picturing the dog like Ugga. Yeah, okay. Well, we would when you say that I was thinking dog house picture in the dog like Ugga Yeah, okay. Well, we did have Otis And then Opie and Liko were the physical like in cost did Otis live on campus or where do you live somebody's dog? I I don't know where he lived. He wasn't like in a crate at in the gym or anything. I don't know where he was He was a running around I couldn't find him when the game started? Yeah. He's chained up, turned apart. Yeah.

Y'all just out there. Otis. Otis. Everybody quiet down. Otis. Yeah, boy. Yeah. But we were the Bulldogs. That's fine. We were the Knights. Both my high schools were the Knights, actually. I went to two different high schools. I moved to Tennessee between my sophomore and junior year to another high school called the Knights. Go Knights. So yeah. I like that you made fun of mine for being very original and then

you're like yeah every school I ever went to was the Knights. Yeah. I mean I think Bulldogs is a little more common than Knights, dude. I don't know. Bulldog has to be, I'm guessing, do you have the most common high school mascot names? Do you have that on there? I don't. Okay. I'm guessing Wildcats and I'm guessing, do you have the most common high school mascot names? Do you have that on there? Uh, I don't. Okay. I'm guessing wildcats and I'm guessing bulldogs is going to be a close number two. I was wildcats.

Yeah. Uh, Dusty, would you go to a school if, or senior kids to a school, if their mascot was a devil? No, no, I don't. I mean, yeah, I mean, you know, I don't know where else in them, but I don't like the way that starts off. We were the Blue Devils. Yeah. Oh, really?

We were the Lebanon Blue. Oh, really? That's funny that they would do that even there. Brought my Letterman jacket. You got a Letterman jacket. Yeah. It's a baseball. District champs, 1990.

How about that? It's a pretty big jacket. Doesn't say your name though, huh? Well, it's got it. It's got his name. Whoa, look at that name though. Huh? Well, it's got it. It's got a name. Whoa. Look at that. Did you play?

Yeah, that's, uh, they finally put me on the team my senior year. I tried that every year just for kind of like comedic purposes. Are you talking about like for real? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Like, I mean, like the, see, that's what I thought would happen to me is they would finally just go like, he's done it every year.

Let's just let him have it. I batted four times. I went for four. Yeah. I mean, that's good batting. What was your hit though? A single or? It arguably could have been an error, but I'm calling it a hit.

Okay. What? Uh, like. Chick's wing kind of like, and then the shortstop got a glove on it, but he didn't, he didn't. Ah, sounds like a hit. Sounds like a hit. like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like,

like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, did have that happen last year, first senior year. Is it when you start running, how long does it take you to get out of the batter's box?

Well, Michael's daughter ran faster than any of us in that, that 40. Oh really? Did you see that? No. He sent it to us. Oh really? She ran. Moxie ran.

She ran faster than any of us in the 40. I'll beat my, Moxie's got long legs. Oh wait, wait till he's down to 20%. Yeah. It's going to be crazy. It was a rematch. Yeah. Moxie has to eat a hundred Wait till he's down to 20%. It's gonna be crazy. He wants a rematch. Moxie has to eat a hundred donuts if he wins. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We'll get Moxie eating all these donuts. It's unbelievable that you're wearing a jacket from high school and it fits like a glove. It almost looked big. Yeah. I mean, you in better shape now than you were in high school? I mean, I've always been in great shape.

Yeah. A natural athlete. I don't think, if you looked at his, like, baits, I don't think anything's ever changed. It's been. That is true. It's just my hairline. Yeah.

It's like the straight, like a doctor would be like, you're, it's the chart is the same as when he was a baby. Yeah. It's the same. Everything's the same. Nothing's ever changed. There's no up and downs. It's just straight.

Everything fits when he was two to fits now. It always, he's been. Brian's no up and downs. It's just straight. Everything fits when he was two to fits now. It always, he's been this size. He's been this size his whole life. Yeah. Now I just went to get my real ID and they had my information in from when I was 16. Oh my gosh. And the lady behind the car, she goes, you still weigh 140? Yeah. I was like, no, no I don't. You got the real ID, huh?

You gotta be fighting the power on that thing. Well, everyone's gonna have to have it. You're gonna have to do it to fly, doesn't he? But the less of us sign up for it, the more they'll, cause they've already pushed it back one time. Oh, cause no one signed up for it. Cause people weren't getting it, so they pushed it back.

You gotta fight the power a little bit. Yeah. Is this you starting the movement right here? The movement has begun a little bit, but we should get it going. Yeah, yeah. I'll cut mine up when I get it. It's like, why do they need more ID for us to fly?

Like. You know what? It's like one that I never even thought of. I think when I got mine renewed, they did it. Why? Because don't you have to get get renewed? You can say no new, but you need extra stuff for it to be a real idea. You need proof of social security number. Yeah. I think any proof of residency. Why don't they need all this? Why don't they need all this stuff?

The one you have now is a fake ID. But we've been flying all this time. Now they got to take pictures of us every time. It's like eating more stuff. Every time. Just let me get on the plane. Yeah. If you work here. I want an airline that's like risk at airline. That's what I want. No security. We go, Hey, this is the one airline where you just get right through. You figured out yourself. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. The FAA is not involved at all. Well, I want the plane to be up to speed, but the security on it. You don't know when we're taking off. I just want.

What time is the flight? Noonish. I want people to be able to bring. Maybe before. I want guns and knives on the plane. Yeah. I want drinking. You can bring your own alcohol.

Would your logo be a pirate? Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. Pirate on the thing. You can smoke in the bathroom. Smoke in the bathroom.

If you want. I like it. I like. I don't know if I like smoking in the seat. Okay. But you can smoke in the bathroom. Smoke in the bathroom if you want. I like it. I don't know if I like smoking in the seat. Okay. But you can smoke in the bathroom. Have a smoking section in the bathroom. I'm sorry I took it too far. That was ridiculous.

I like it. Risk it airlines. Ben Sawyer had the joke about a non-smoking section in a restaurant is like a non-peeing section in the pool. It's the same thing. If you are curious, eagles, most common high school mascot in America. How far is Bulldogs? Bulldogs is number four. Wildcats is six. Where's the Knights at? The

Knights is, oh man, pretty pretty pretty close. Seven? Yeah, ten. Ten. Yeah, yeah, so up there. Up there. What about the Blue Devils? The Blue Devils? It's probably, there's different versions of devils. The Red Devils. Blue Devils, there's 183 in America. Yeah, so we're original. 172 high schools. You guys just retread. Yeah, why would they, yeah, why would, you were the DCA Blue Devils? No. Oh, okay. These are the DCA Wildcats. Okay. Yeah. It's a wild name for Christian schools. Donaldson Christian Blue Devils. No, Wildcats. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. DCA Wildcats. Okay. That's a wild name for a Christian school.

Donaldson Christian Blue Devils. I was the, my, we were the, or our football team was old hickory bulldogs. And then, I don't remember DuPont. Did you have mascots as DuPont Elementary? Yeah, I think so. DuPont's mascot? We were always the Knights. Why do you not hear a lot of other dogs, I wonder?

There should be other dogs, you know, like the, you know. Like what? Like the Chows, the Chow Chow. And remember that dog? Doxen. Chow Chow was the scary dog when I was a kid. That was the one in the trailer park that would get you. That's true.

We got Bulldogs and then it's all cats after that. Cats, even rams. What was number one? Number one is eagles. I guess there's wolves and stuff, timber wolves and... Yeah. I mean, even you got Cardinals, you got birds. What about Rottweilers, stuff like that, Doberman Pinchers, you know?

Ooh, it gets a little long. It does. It does. Lancers, 106 high school is the Lancers. They like, mascot names are almost always two syllables. Occasionally one. Rarely more than that. And that's why the commanders, because you know if it is a longer that they'll shorten it. That's why when Washington the commanders are like well you can't shorten it to the commies.

Yeah, you know, but anybody else like the Buccaneers or the Bucs? I think you just need it to fit that chant that let's go da da. Uh-huh. Yeah. You just need to fit that. Let's go commanders. Yeah, what do they do? They just go commanders. Commanders. I guess so. I hate that. Yeah, well, they had it with the Washington football team.

So that was the name. It was awesome. I liked that. Let's go Washington. I bet they do that. Yeah. Let's go. Let's go football.

Let's go wildcats. Just make it generic. You're cheering for both teams. Just for the sport. Let's go football. Trojans, Mustangs. Let's have a good game. Let's go Yeah, let's go football. Trojans, Mustangs. Let's have a good game. Let's go Lions.

Let's go safety. You know, that sort of stuff. Just keep it safe out here, guys. Take care of each other. I'm going to venture a guess that Nate and Dusty, you're the most famous graduates of your high school. I have a key to the city of my own hometown. Oh yeah.

I don't have a key. Yeah. Dusty's high school is a guy, Roy Lee Jackson, who played for several years in the major league baseball and he's now a pastor in Auburn. Okay. We have a couple of football players. TJ Jackson went on to play. TJ Jackson.

Yeah. We had, uh, we had a lady Annembelem. The whole band? No, Hiller Scott. She went to DCA. That's right. Yeah. Uh, yeah, her, yeah, Hiller Scott. She went to DCA. That's right. That's a big band.

Yeah, her. Yeah, MJ Garrett. He played at Vandy, receiver of Vandy, but he's also on Real World Road Rules. When you were the angel in your special, somebody said MJ Garrett really let himself go. I thought that was a very big, blind throw. Very specific. Very funny, but very specific. But yeah, so yeah, I'm trying to think if we-

The woman that Ted Kennedy killed went to my high school. Oh really? Yeah. In Alabama? Mm-hmm, Montgomery Catholic High School, Mary Jo Kapetna or something, her name, I think she had a teacher there. What was she doing? Just hanging out with the Kennedys, man.

But wasn't that up in Rhode Island? That's risky. Yeah, Chappaquiddick. Yeah, sleeping in the trunk. Just seeing the country, you know? Man, that's crazy. Did y'all like, what do y'all talk about it? Yeah, we have a plaque for her. We have statue of her in the courtyard. Mary Jo. Mary Jo. Oh, when that happened to Ted Kennedy, he lost his driver's license for 16 months, is what that says. OK.

I'll be honest. I've never looked into this, but I've repeated this a lot. Wow. So it's not even true. There you go. Moved to Montgomery, Alabama. OK. Yeah.

There you go. Right there, taught business class. She taught typing at Montgomery Catholic High School Typing that's how long ago this was typing class. How did she get involved with Him Ted Kennedy. Yeah by 1963 years later She moved to DC to work for a senator and then you know, then just got involved in that world You know next thing you know, you're driving in a convertible Ted Kennedy. That's how it goes. Typing is not taught anymore. It's not taught.

I mean, it's, I think it's like, yeah, it's taught just by like, his attitude. Yeah. I don't think it's ridiculous that you would even ask this. I'll be, it's a funny question. No type. He's not taught anymore. Cause you type for everything now.

Kids, kids learn how to type early. Well, I was just typing to be taught in first grade. Oh, maybe. You know what? I'm sorry I laughed at that. That's a pretty good question. I don't know if they teach it to young kids. Very condescending.

Shut up. Flip that out for me if you don't mind. Post that on my socials. So, but was there anybody? I think I had a joke about that. Did it make you this visual? Like Typhi, my daughter took typing or I think I had a joke about that. Did it make it in the special? Like my daughter took typing, or I took typing in seventh grade.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like, that's how late they were teaching it to where now my daughter has like been typing her whole life. I took it in ninth grade. Yeah. I took it. I almost failed it. Typing? I took it in high school. On what? On a typewriter?

Yeah. Like you had to do the ch-ch and bring it, are you serious? I was on a computer. Mine might've been on a computer too, I don't know if it was a typewriter, but it was, they would put a box over your hands and so you would have to be able to type without looking. Now I'll say the fact that y'all took classes for it,

you probably have way better form than me, cause I never learned how to actually do it correctly. I didn't do well in the class. Oh, okay. Mine was taught by a football coach who was probably hung over every day. Have you ever been typing really fast and think about the fact that you can do this without really thinking? Yeah, I actually, yeah. Those people that compute jury in the courtroom.

Yeah. Oh, stenographers. That's crazy. Well, they're not using regular keyboards. They're using totally different. Oh, so it's pretty easy. Okay, sorry. Turns out everybody can do it.

Why would we not all just use their computers? No, they're still, but they're using, they look like this. It's like shorthand, right? They look like this. So they're kind of like, if you watch them, they kind of look like they're galloping on it. It's because it's using

these predictive algorithms to get the work. It seems much harder. But I think once you learn how it works it's great. It's a pretty dumb job. Is that what you're getting at? No, no not at all. I think it's amazing. You watch them they just fly on those things. But people that do this probably didn't go to Notre Dame. Shut up. Come on. Cause you guys like, well. But you, you agree though. You do agree that they, I don't know.

Yeah. I mean, it's a ridiculous thing to say, but also probably true. False state. Let's just say me and Dusty Bird graduated with a lot of stenographers. Who was the most, then you have to be a friend of yours, most successful person from your high school. Like went on to some big thing.

Oh, I have no idea about that. I mean, are you still friends with high school? Yeah. Guys in high school? I mean, I have some friends that, you know, married into some wealthy. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, people didn't wear that.

One that was with Derek Mason, Jody Jones. Was a friend of his own business. He runs a big dentist. He went to DCA, Jody Jones? Yeah, he ran a big dentist. My step-brother told me he went to prison for two years, you know, so. But I mean, there had to be more even, yeah,

more than I'm blanking on now that, you know, where people, I mean, a lot of people have done very, very good. I have a teacher that says, if there's anybody that like, one guy went to work for NASA, maybe he went to the moon or whatever, from my high school.

I think you'd know if he went to the moon. They'd probably lead with that. Yeah. Yeah. I think there's been like 12 people that have ever. Okay. Yeah. Well, that's pretty big. Hypothetically. He just got to go. He goes, hey, that guy went to the moon, you guys. We all been to the moon. Hold on. Can you guess how many people have been to space? Shockingly low number. I just looked it

up. I just went. I mean mean of all time you just see would get zero Yeah I might have just seen it. Oh, it's like I saw it. Yeah, what is it? 600 I mean less than 700 people. Oh, I thought that was high 204 number. Oh, I was thinking 10,000 by now well But they're not counting like I'm sorry. You got to keep the secret pretty small. Yeah, exactly. You can't just let everybody. People you can trust. Yeah.

Went to space. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. 10,000 people. You're like, it's going to get out. Yeah. There's nothing up there, but it's. That's not like Jeff Bezos. Did we ever talk about those astronauts that are supposedly in the space station that had their Christmas hats on? Oh no, we didn't know whether... Like they've been up there and they needed to get rescued, but somehow they posted pictures around Christmas with their Christmas hats on. I think maybe they brought them with them when they went up.

Yeah, I would... Maybe they had them there. Maybe if I were trapped there, I'd go, hey, how about not worry about the Christmas decorations and get me out of here. Are they still up there? Really in the spirit of here. Are they still up there? Really in the spirit of Christmas. Are they still up there? Yeah.

Isn't Elon Musk going to get home or something? Yeah, I think it's been pushed to March now. It's like, how about get me home? Yeah. Hope they have their St. Patrick's day out. It's not, um, it's they're taking other astronauts up there with them when they go and they're not ready yet.

How about like save a seat? What do you mean? They're not there. They're like, we still need more time up here. No, no, no. So they're going to sub them out with a new crew. Yeah. The people on earth that are preparing to go, they're not ready yet. What do they got to do? They got to get down there. They're what do they body fat? They get the body fat. 20 percent. You see them walk in 36% body fat. They go, good. It may not be the people themselves.

Chairs you think we have. I think it's just the mission. Imagine moving into a space station that other two people had been trapped in for a year. You're like, Oh no, you got to clean this place. Yeah. Whew. Yeah.

They made themselves at home too. Yeah. You can't open the, you're like, oh no, you gotta clean this place up. Yeah. They made themselves at home too. Yeah. You can't open the door just to like, Yeah, let the air out. There's no airing out. But do you smell anything in space? Inside the thing there is, yeah. But when you do no gravity in there and you're floating,

maybe is that how you kinda air it out? Could you take your helmet off for a second in space? If you're floating in the thing, what do you mean take floating in by my question again if you're floating in the ashen in the spaceship okay yeah would that not take the air out because then you can also can you take it where you can then just stand and D and put gravity inside that thing but I guess is it once you get up there there's no gravity they have gravity they're just not these are the questions NASA can't even well I guess I don't understand the question that's a good answer for someone that doesn't so you got no gravity so once you go to

space you're floating, right? Okay. Yeah. You're just floating around. You're flying. Yeah. Well, they fly in the side of the spaceship. Yeah.

But if they were on the ground, they, they don't, they stand in the spaceship. They sit, they don't float on earth. Yeah. So, but when they get to the space, are you just, you're always having to float. Yeah. So you just, you never get, the gravity never comes into play.

So I'm saying, can you like do something where you press a button and you go, everything falls to the ground? No. Like add gravity to this thing. No, no, they can't. If you're floating. But how does the air not, so then,

because air can't get in there, but gravity can get inside the ship. Well, gravity is not like something that comes in through a leak in the space shuttle. Gravity is pretty finicky at times because balloons can float pretty good, but leaves get pulled down. Gravity, you know, it hits, it's selective about what it gets to.

Yeah. Who let the gravity in? Yeah. Yeah. Like is it, yeah, like one day do they go, they see a pin fall and they go, oh no. Like sometimes it's a butterfly. A butterfly just goes like this and it's just making its way. But a rock, I mean a rock is just, it's just hard.

Yeah, that's something with... Or a leaf. Zero air resistance and then something with all the air resistance. Like a small leaf. Yeah, yeah. That lays on the ground. Yeah, it's all about air resistance. Gravity is. It is. It'll get you if it wants to.

Holding the universe together, but it's pretty... It is. It'll get you if it wants to. Holding the universe together, but it's pretty... It's always a... But I think when they show spaceships in movies and stuff, like a lot of times they are just walking around, they explain it and they'll they have gravity on this. I think that's just to... that's like a workaround so they can shoot the movie. So like, yeah, like the people in space now, they haven't touched the ground,

like with their full body weight in a year. Yeah. That's why they take workout stuff to keep your muscles. But how is it no air? Well, they don't really, That's because you don't, so yeah, if you took your helmet off in space, right, you're gone immediately.

Are you gone immediately or could you hold your breath for a little bit? Is it like underwater? I think you would freeze. A, the temperature and the radiation are going to kill you pretty quickly. Sorry, that's not going to be fun. How about you make a fun answer? Could you hold your breath? Is it like water? I mean, I guess. I don't know. How cold is it? Is it real cold or is it real hot? Well, it depends on if you're in the path of the sun or not, I think, but I think it's cold. I think it was very cold.

Yeah. What if you're in between the sun and the earth, you'd think it'd be real hot. So how's it warm in the spaceship if it's so cold outside, but air's not getting in, but gravity somehow does get in, gravity doesn't. You know what I mean? Like, how does it, how do you go from sitting in a chair

and you can't float, to when you go up, now you float, but no air from there is getting in, but it is in, because you're floating. So something's got in, you're not closed off. Like, you know what I mean? Like if you're in a metal ball that's completely closed and I put you and you're like, all right, your body has full body weight on the floor.

You're laying on the floor. And then when you go to space, I start floating. Well, that means something has to get inside that metal ball to make that air float, right? No, it's because you, you are moving. Like if I went, if it went underwater, if you dropped a metal ball underwater, you wouldn't start and you're in the metal ball, you wouldn't float. You would stay in the, cause the water, even though the metal ball would float, you are,

you wouldn't start floating. You walk around. Cause you're a submarine, everybody's walking around. They don't, they're not floating. Right. But when they go to space, somehow that, whatever that is gets inside the thing and everything inside of it floats.

I know what you're saying. That's such a funny way to think about it. I've never heard of it. Whereas gravity gets into the, maybe it's like a little bit of gravity got in. Am I making you say it? We left the window open and the gravity got in. Maybe gravity didn't get in,

it's not being let in is the thing. They've kept gravity out of it. That's what it is. It's like a force. They go, I'm just getting word. My high school asked to get my name removed. Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. Well, yeah, you didn't name the science lab after yourself. I just got word. Yeah, it's now called not the Nate Bargesse. They still have my name, but it's now called not the name. They still have a name, but it's now called not. Yeah. Okay. Cheaper to say not than a raise. That's right.

Just paid in. Yeah. Average temperature of deep space, negative 454 degrees Fahrenheit. What's deep? So pretty cold. What do they do? Shoot a thermostat just out in the thing and try to look at it with a binocular. What is deep space?

We're talking about just a little bit of space. What's shallow space? Yeah. What'd you say? The space behind Earth. Minus 270 degrees. The temperature of space behind Earth. So essentially the same as the average temperature of deep space. But we're all around Earth. All right. So there's no air to transfer heat. That's why it's so cold. There's no atmosphere in space. That's what traps in the heat. So even you could be in between the Earth and the Sun and because of no atmosphere, it's still cold. Technically closer to the Sun. Yeah. Is it windy? So it's not windy in space? No, it's not windy. There's no wind in space. Also no sound in space. Something weird to think about.

So you couldn't talk to someone? You could talk to someone. You could talk to them inside the space shuttle where there's oxygen. In space suits with some type of Bluetooth connection. Yeah, then you've got air in your helmet. And that's what transmits the sound. But you can't just yell in open space.

It would have nothing to move through. Bounce off. Bounce off, that's right. The sound. Okay. Okay. Bounce off. Bounce off. Yeah. That's right. The sound. Okay. That's right. Okay. The building's back in your name.

The building's back. For that, for that. Oh yeah. What you just made. The temperature of space directly in front of the sun can reach temperatures around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. I bet you can find a middle ground. Yeah.

Back up, back up. Too fast. I said you could find 72 degrees somewhere. You have to. I mean, really Earth. Too fast. I said you could 572 degrees somewhere. You have to. I mean really earth. There has to be. Earth is in the perfect spot. I appreciate it. Yeah, yeah. Good spot to be in. You know, the entire universe really worked out perfectly. None of it worked out that way. Even just a little bit off, we would be decimated. Yeah, yeah. Just a little bit off. It's all too perfect. Yeah. What's the other high school thing?

All right, it's amazing. 2% of high school sweethearts get married. 2%. That's a pretty high number. Yeah. Most of them don't last. Oh, it's even lower than- Weren't your parents middle school?

Yeah. That's crazy. Wow, that is amazing. That's gotta be less than 1%. Yeah. Willie Geist. Willie Geist? High school sweethearts?

It's quite a leap I took. Yeah. Well, bold statement, I know. The state with the highest graduation rate. Let's talk to you. I'm just trying to talk. I'm sorry. All right.

Yeah. Sorry. 2%. That's got to be less than 1%. I'm sorry. All right. Yeah. Two percent less than one. The gravity of this moment. I don't know if that was a joke. Uh, the state with the highest graduation rate. West Virginia. Really?

Highest high school graduate. Is that cause that's as far as they go? Tennessee second, maybe a lower age. Tennessee second? Yeah. Did you sort this chart the correct way? I don't know. Search it and see if you find the same thing. Now I'm questioning myself. I was like, wow, that's interesting. I like that. Maybe in West Virginia it's like if you drop out of school, you got to go to work. Wow. West Virginia. That's crazy. Tennessee's too. It's number 48 in education, but number one in high school graduation. Hey, we get it done. Hey, look at Tennessee.

We're 31. We get it done. We get out. Tennessee, 27 in best States overall. I'll take that. In the middle of the pack. We're not trying to stand out. We're not trying to fall back.

We're trying to be in the middle. Wisconsin. I wonder why that does this just mean so how do you square the number one high school graduation rate but 48th in education? I don't think they teach everything. I think it's like if you drop out, you go work in a factory. Yeah yeah and they probably don't have all the classes so they're we just do some of them. Yeah. And then, you know, when the others are harder, like the number one ones like. Maybe it's less people. Yeah, they're

talking about everything and you're like, oh, you know. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, 91% high graduation rate. That's so high. Mm-hmm.
