Hello folks and hey bear, welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Bargetzi, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slay. All right. And we have sitting in with us today. It's a big one. It's a big one. People have been asking for this a long time. Our boy, Ryan Hamilton. All right.

Thanks fellas. Yeah. Very exciting. It is exciting. I'm excited. Yeah. We're glad to have you. Yeah.

Thank you, pal. Yeah. I appreciate it. Yeah. We've been, I've been around Ryan for- Oh my God. When did you come to New York? 2008. Yeah.

Yeah. Ryan was, he was the first person I knew who actually personally knew Jerry Seinfeld. Oh, right. And you've opened for him for many years on the road. Yeah. Yeah, for a while. And when I opened for you, I just like, just sit there the whole time, just listening to stories about being on the road with him, going to movies with him.

Right. Everybody loves to hear about the routine. Yeah. Yeah, everybody loves that. Yeah. Yeah, routine is good. I have no routine. You don't? No, I'm trying to get a routine in my life.

It's all falling apart, Ryan. So, well, we will get into that. One announcement, Aaron, you see the screaming it's happening. There it is. There it is. This Friday, Nate land YouTube where you're watching this right now. Maybe just scroll on over. Loves food so much, put it right in the title of his album.

Wow. It's special. Geez. Took the wind out of my sails there, doesn't it? I didn't know. I thought you were done. Well, not only are you doing that this Friday, you got a, it's another big thing coming up this Monday.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Tonight show on Monday. Look at that. Yeah. It's almost too much stuff. Yeah.

It feels like a lot. I don't think I like it. Over exposure. Over exposure. I go, let's comment back. Yeah. Aaron will be off the podcast the next two months just to give you guys a break. It's like Snoop Dogg.

He's just everywhere. He's everywhere. So yeah, this Friday, January 31st, Nate Lane, YouTube channel, Aaron Weber's special signature dish. Very, very pumped about it. Tonight show on Monday. Making moves. This is it.

This is your first kind of big, uh, out in the world. Yeah. And if you saw Chappelle's last SNL monologue, very similar. He comes out with a cigarette, sits down on a chair, still immediately. They told me I couldn't smoke, but I will be sitting down my whole set and just pontificating about the world. Turn off the monitor. You got a Zen in now. Oh, for sure. Yeah. I always have one. Now I'm pumped, man. It's exciting. It'd be nice if you

just had your signature dish that you could just eat out. I should bring out a signature dish. Yeah. Just eat throughout my set. Yeah. Any advice for all y'all that have done all these late-night sets and Nate's done it 50 times, Ryan's done it a bunch. I'll take this guys. Yeah. Brian's gone up late but I don't know if he's done it. That's funny. Yeah. I don't, how many times have you run the set? A bunch. I've run it two more times tonight and then all weekend. I feel good about the set. I mean, they might make some changes last minute, but I feel all right about it. Yeah. Yeah.

You feel all right or you feel good? You said, I feel good feel, I feel all right about it. Yeah. Yeah. So you feel all right or you feel good? You said I feel good and then I feel all right. Well, I was worried. I came across a little too confident. Yeah. Yeah. You never want to walk it back a little bit. Yeah.

I hate the set, but, uh, my, uh, I always think it's never going to be as good as you think it's going to be when you do it in the room. Does that make sense? Yeah. Like you're gonna murder more in clubs. Yeah. And so when you do it in the room, you gotta know just it's not, I mean, the crowd's great. They're laughing. It's awesome. But you build it up and you think, oh boy. You think it's like it's gonna be, it's almost every special I've taped either.

Everything you tape never is as good as, because there's just too much pressure on it. I think for the audience, for you, for everything, that it just can never live up to what you think it's gonna be, you know? And then so, but I mean, just, yeah, just, you do it, you just go and everybody's watching on TV. Yeah, that's fun.

Yeah, and I would say it'd be good to get a set where you don't get the reaction that you think it deserves before doing it. That way, you know what that feels like. That should be hard. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Because you don't want to like have it just bang, bang, bang. And then you go on The Tonight Show, you do one of the jokes and it doesn't work.

You're like, why didn't it work? It's been working every time I did it. Go bomb with it. Yeah. Yeah. Try to, try to bomb. Yeah. You have any experience? See what I can do. See if Birmingham has any spots. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Party night. Come on down. Yeah. There's gotta be a weird room that you can go do it in. Are you guys running in New York? weird room that you could go do it in. Are you guys running in New York? Yeah, I am. I kind of bombed with it the other night here at the, uh, the dark and dirty showcase and it was pretty rowdy and I got them by the end, but I, but it

was tough sledding up top. That's good. You should do it. Cuss words in between. Oh yeah. That's how you got to get them. No, you start screaming at them. Yeah.

Yeah, that's good. If you bomb, yeah, as long as you bombed with it, I was the only thing you got to bomb with it. Yeah, start screaming at them. Yeah, that's good. If you bomb, yeah, as long as you've bombed with it. I always thought you got to bomb with it. Yeah, it just happens, right? Well, you go run it, you know, like a village lantern, some weird spot, and then next thing you know, you're just in the, your five minutes is two minutes. Yeah. Do like Dusty does and run in front of the stagehands. Yeah, he does this. Ryan, you do that. You run your whole set and running from the stage hands. Yeah, yeah. He does this. Ryan, do you do that? You run your whole set in front of the stage hands? Yeah.

Oh, that's a good way to bond. Like when they let you go out. In rehearsal. Wow. No, I've never done that. I've always done the full set. What made you do that? I don't know.

Does he go? Does he go? Yeah. He does extra time. 15 to 20. I just, I want to feel what it feels like to do it out there. Wow. And I also feel like, yeah, it's the worst reaction you're going to get.

Yeah. What does that time out to like a minute and a half? Yes. Yeah. It's pretty, it's pretty cool. Wow. Do they get nervous? Like, are they like, uh, Hey, it's going to be, you know, as they may have said, like,

it's going to be better than that, right? No. I mean, I, maybe they thought it, but they never said it to me. Actually, this last time I was there, they actually laughed, which threw me because they never laughed at my pre-show performance. You're finally getting to them. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. You almost be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, you're not supposed to laugh. Yeah, they really threw me when they like, oh, no, no. You're not supposed to laugh. Yeah. They really threw me when they like, Oh, Whoa. I even said I wasn't expecting that. Are you going to do that?

Aaron? Probably not, man. I mean, probably not. Yeah. I wouldn't either. I mean, it is freeing to think like this will not be like my actual tape set. It cannot be the worst that I've done on this stage today. Yeah. Right. Do you think I'm the worst that I've done on this stage today. You know what I mean?

Right. Do you think I'm the only person that does that? Maybe. The way they're reacting. I mean, I don't know. I'm trying to think. Now I'm sure someone does, but I remember they always said to do it.

And I was like, I don't want to do this. I feel like too weird. And then, I mean, I maybe have said like, I want to say this, uh, or they'd say, say your highs or your lows and mine's like, I'm going to be right in the pocket for the whole time. We ain't going that high. It's funny that you pause like where you think, uh, uh, standing ovation is going to happen or something silent.

Well, good for you. I think maybe, yeah, that's fantastic. I'm pumped. Yeah. It's going to be a fun, fun week. Yeah. It's just silent, you're just waiting for it. Well, good for you. Thanks, man. Yeah, that's fantastic. I'm pumped. Yeah. It's gonna be a fun week. Yeah. I feel like you can stay on them too a little bit.

Like, you don't have to let them, like the applause or something, like feel free to kind of get it, cut it off. Oh, step on it a little bit. Step on it a little bit, and not crazy, but step on it enough to be like, hey, and then I went to, and then I went to the store, you know. Don't bow or anything if I get a... No, well, it's be like, hey, and then I went to, and then I went to the store, you know.

Don't bow or anything if I get a... No, well, it's just like, sometimes I feel like applause breaks don't play always as good as they feel in the room as on they do at TV. Okay. But. And you may not have to worry about that. He goes, that's a... I hope to God this comes up. It's a best case scenario. I can't imagine that will happen, but if it does.

Worst case they do that wide shot you were talking about last week of see Fowl in the background and he's just doing this. Worst case is we just don't hear about this anymore and I'm not on the show. I think if you bomb that, I mean, I imagine if you bomb horrifically they go. Well, there's been cases.

Yeah, I know. I know of a couple of them. It's gotta be real bad. I mean, it imagine if you bomb horrifically, they go. Well, there's been cases. Yeah, I know. I know of a couple of them. It's gotta be real bad. I mean, it would be hard to. I think they even showed them. I mean, I don't know, did they ever not aired one? I know there was one that they aired, but they made it where you can't find it online.

It was on Jimmy Kimmel. But there's a, like Sebastian has gone back and talked about one where he bombed pretty bad on there, like years later on the Tonight Show. They air it just so they don't, if you never come back, they want people to know why. I'll say it, I could bob so bad they never mentioned that I was supposed to be there. You don't want them when you get done, then Jimmy goes out and has to start doing his act to fill in for times. They go, uh, can we get the roots? Could y'all do a, I don't know, a five minute number in

case we cut some stuff? It's going to be great. It's going to be great. Jimmy's the best. It's the, it's, yeah, it's the best one to do. It's so fun. It just makes you feel like you're in show business. Yeah.

That's what it feels like. I'm doing some stuff. Yeah. It's so fun. Yeah. Go eat afterwards. Lucy going? She is going, yeah.

Yeah. Gotta go eat afterwards, you know? Yeah, yeah. Signature dish. I gotta go get the signature dish somewhere. Our next sponsor, you know we love them, signature dish.

All right this weekend I was in DC Washington DC working on the new hour.

I'm trying to think whether I mean I mean, I was at Soul Joel's, my buddy Soul Joel in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Have you been, have you been? I know of the place. I've never been there. It was great. He runs a great room there. And it was, I started with Soul Joel, like we all kind of were started, when he was coming up and he was running shows and he would put a lot of us on a lot of his shows like, you know, Julian, Lee, Vecchione, like, Yannis, like a bunch of us. So we did, we went there on a Tuesday and it was great. Wow, that's fun. Super fun. Yeah. Drove back in a van, went to a Sheetz. I did not eat good.

Yeah. But I'm going to start. You ate at the Sheetz? Yeah, but I didn't want to. It was Julian, they make milkshakes and it's like midnight and they're willing to make them at midnight. That's not your fault. That's not fair. It should be illegal.

Usually your people are pretty anti ice cream. Yeah. They don't want to give it to you at midnight. Right. Yeah. And Sheetz was like, Sheetz is a great company. They are. They're into it. And they go, look, we're do it. And then Julian got a peanut butter cup milkshake, which I don't even normally get. And then I saw him watching him making it. I'm like, yeah, Lee, I wasn't getting anything. And then I was like that. I mean, look at, look at that. Reesy cup or our Butterfinger milkshake. I don't like those are the best.

Oh, you don't like a Butterfinger milkshake? Yeah. Oh, Butterfinger milkshake is. I don't think I like Butterfinger as a candy. I don't know if I've really ever had one. I'm not sure. That was pretty wild. Oh man.

Yeah. It was good. Yeah. Uh, so I, but you know, so I drink some of that. Cookies cream good. That's a good milkshake. It's a good milkshake. And then, but I'm still gonna get down. I'm gonna lose my... Nate made a big proclamation last week. Yeah, I'm gonna lose my weight. It's not starting now. I listened to that episode. I heard that's pretty exciting with the donuts.

Well, it's, yeah, yeah. It's not, you know, hasn't started. We're going to start it next week. Scott's thoughts over here. Yeah. Starts Monday. Cause I got, but it's going to go Monday. We're going to get after it. When do you have to? That's great. When is the deadline? July 8th. July 8th. Okay. Yeah. It's my daughter's birthday. Oh, perfect. So Eric texted me a video of you ordering, it might've been there. It was there. Okay. Yeah. My daughter's birthday.

Oh, perfect. Eric texted me a video of you ordering, it might have been there. It was there. He was like, tell everyone not to worry about me. I'm going to be fine. Yeah. Now, yeah, he was, yeah, Eric put a clip of it, or he cut a clip up, like, of them talking about it, because it was very funny.

But yeah, we'll be alright. We'll be alright. We're gonna get there. Go hard. But DC was great. Thanks for everybody came out to the DC Improv. That's another great club. And Strupp, Joe Zimmerman, Julie McCullough, we all had fun. So yeah, it was great. Awesome. Uh, Wednesday night I did Aaron Weber and friends. Oh yeah.

Yeah, I was up there thinking, friends of Aaron's I thought would be friends of mine, but they are not. Wow. But, uh, Saturday I did the Honest Fox Comedy Fest in Marietta, Georgia. That's basically a Nate Land light comedy fest. I mean, it's Dustin Nickerson, Steve Rogers. Oh, really? Johnny W. I'm forgetting some people now, but just a lot of people that you've taken on the road with. Or have done the showcase here. And it was a lot of fun. Yeah, did two shows down there Saturday night. Great crowds. A lot of Nightland folks came out. Nancy Johnson gave me this mug. Easier to drive tour.

Oh yeah. Oh gosh. That's good. Yeah. So Ryan, that's the tour he's on. Brian Bates tour. It's easier to drive to than to fly. They proclaimed that. That's pretty good. Did you drive or fly to Honest Fux? I drove.

Okay. It's a very epic drive. His tour is always like, eee, you could, but it's always an awkward stop where you're like, you might as well just do the seven hours. Yeah, yeah. Either way, it will be seven hours. Right, right, yeah, right. Security and everything.

Security and everything. Security and everything. Might as well. Might easier to drive. Just might as well drive it. If this tour takes off, you're going to be in a real pickle because you're going to have to go to places. Well, that's the, they got to come to him. Oh, I see.

That's the deal. Right. Right. That's the whole point of it. Yeah. So there's going to be a circle, a Brian Bates circle that- Yeah. That's it. If you want in it.

That you got to, you got to, that's good. You wish you were in it, Ryan. He makes his audience fly. Yeah. I do. I wish I was in it. Yeah. He's the only one that makes his audience fly to the shows. I want to drive alone. He's like, he's like kind of Vegas, but it's just a-

Yeah. Kind of the state surrounding it. Yeah. But it's a, he's got a residency in a circle of America. Easier to drive harder for you. Yeah. I put that disclaimer on there.

Alex, it could be just kind of a shape of your head on a map. Yeah. That's your radius. Yeah. Have you ever wanted to go visit downtown Demopolis? Come tie it up with Brian Bates.

Easier to drive to her. It's a nice hotel. That's where Laura, Laura was born. It's called real America guys. Just go to the elite cities. I get out there. He gets out, mixes it up. Right.

Oh, I was in Huntsville. That's where I'm here in Nashville. Huntsville, yeah, my first time there. And it was great. It was like such a nice little weekend. Did you know a lot about Huntsville going into it? It kind of surprises people if they're not familiar with it. Well, every time you tell somebody you're going to Huntsville,

they go, oh, okay, well, it's half rocket scientists, half Alabama. Yeah. And then they go, and they're really smart. And it was fun. I had a good time. And I think I knocked off all 50 states this weekend. And to be honest. That's honest, Alabama was the last one. I think maybe Alabama was the last one. I knocked off Arkansas a while ago.

In the Alabama side, we wish the rocket scientists would leave. Yeah, that's kind of the vibe I get from them. 50 states, Alabama was the last. Yeah. Wow. I think so. That's so funny. Your last two states were the first two I could ever get booked. Oh really? You went to Mississippi first? Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I love Mississippi, but I'm just saying. Uh, Hattiesburg. You go to Hattiesburg? I've been to Hattiesburg. Yeah, that's right. There's a guy, uh, blanked on the name. Ken Oliver.

Hmm. And he lived with me. He did live with me for a while. Did it feel like it made sense? Oh yeah. You weren't shocked when he saw. He didn't even look shocked in the mug shot. Yeah, I did it.

Never been to Evansville. Great, hot show. After the show, a cigar bar called Cigar Cigar opened their doors to us. They were closed. Opened their doors to us. Wow. Let us have cigars. Wow, man, big time.

Had a great hang. And then I went to Indianapolis, another theater show, great show, hot show. Is that the clothes or the clows? Clues is apparently how it's pronounced. It's not how it's spelled. It looks like it's spelled Clows, C-L-O-W-E-S, but it's pronounced Clues. I did Victory Theater in Evansville,

Clues in Indianapolis. I've been going to Indianapolis for a long time. I love it there. It's such a great city. I had a great time. Yeah. Hot show. I've had good shows there. Yeah, it's a long time. I love it there. It's such a great city. I had a great time. Yeah. Hot show. I've had good shows there.

Yeah, I've done it. That's great. Yeah, I did Crackers a bunch, Helium. Crackers used to really be a great two club. They had two. Broad Ripple was a good one. Yeah, I did downtown too, but Broad Ripple was the one. Oh, Broad Ripple was so hot.

And you met an eight land fan on your drive home. Oh, yeah, I did. On the way home, this car pulls up next to me and this lady staring at me, which is not really that strange for me. I get wild on the road. It's not that weird. And I gave her a wave, you know, I just go, OK, hey, lady. Not really that strange for me. I get wild on the road. It's not that weird.

And I gave her a wave, you know, I just go, okay, hey lady, you know? And then the back window lets down and the guy has a sign that says Dusty. And then he flips it over and it says, hello folks. Whoa, wow. Yeah, they recognized me on the interstate. Oh, wow. Wow.

Yeah, so it was fun. We waved, we had a good time. How long did you have to stay with them? Long enough to scare my friend Vince. Vince was like, maybe focus on the road though. I got a little excited about it. I kept staring at him. What's the sign say? Driving. But then they went around me, but then it felt like,

ah, they're not really going faster than I'd like to go. But I was like, I gotta, you can't pass them. I'm not going to go back by them. Wow. So I got to, you know, you know, you got a real distinct look when someone recognizes you flying by on the freeway. Yeah. That's crazy.

I mean, I was like, this is wild. I got recognized on the interstate. That's what we're talking about. That's big time. Yeah. Yeah. And then you got to be, so you had to decide like, do I, you know, how long we all together you think? A couple hours? No, no. You're on the interstate? They live in Hermitage? Oh,

you mean, I mean, I saw them for a while in front of me. Yeah. But I stopped for coffee and bathroom breaks a lot. So eventually I was, I was off. I was out of there, but it was fun. A little hand, I mean, I want, I don't know how they do a sign. They just had a sign. Just set up a piece of paper and they were, it was kind of floppy sign. And I wanted to, you know, have something back for them,

but I'm like, well, I'm driving and I don't really have paper handy. Throw your merch, tell them right on the window. Throw a coffee mug at them. That would be great. Just lean back. Just lean back. Lower your seat. I'm going to do a lot of...

gravity was incredible. Good one, guys. All right. A little gravity talk. How do you feel about gravity, Ryan? Well, it's- See how you fit in with this group. It's all present. Is there a debate on gravity? What's the debate? You think there isn't. Yeah. But turns out there's a huge debate. Well, we were wondering about the space station and we're just trying to get Aaron to explain to us, you know. How come you're not floating?

Why are you, right? Why were you floating? Yeah, you're like inside the space. Inside the space. If you sunk a metal ball and you were laying in the metal ball in the ocean, you would just lay flat on the metal ball. But when you go into space, you float. Right.

So why come that? Why come? Yeah, exactly. So why come that? Whatever that is, why is that not in there in the ocean? But it does seep through. Somehow it seeps through. And obviously we all believe in gravity.

Yeah. Yeah. We just wanted Aaron to bring it to us. Yeah. How's it getting through, but it's not getting through under there. Wow, boy. I mean, you got me. I don't know.

Exactly. That's what we're saying. No one knows. But Aaron wants to answer. Yeah. It's frustrating thing is I can't, when you're in, when you're orbiting the earth you're in a freefall technically, but you're moving at such a speed that you're, you're, you're in orbit because you're free falling but you're also,

you have speed this, I mean I need to diagram it out. So, but if everything stopped you would fall to the ground. Yes. If you stopped moving. Oh, yeah. So, if you were up there and everything. So, it's just like a wind that it's like that machine that at the carnival that spins you around. People in the space station would always be like, ah! There's no air. So, there's no air resistance. Yeah. That's the thing. Space station is going. But like, if you, so like, when they're always outside the thing, but they

always got to be attached to it. But you would think like if they got attached to the thing, you'd be like, whoop, no, because they're already moving. They're moving that speed too. Yeah. So the, the international space. So it all really works out. Yeah.

Yeah. I guess at the end of the day, that's all you need to know. Yeah. Yeah. Everything works out. What about calibrate it? When George Clooney floated away in gravity. Yeah. Is day, that's all you need to know. Everything works out. What about calibrate it? When George Clooney floated away in gravity, is that, that's pretty accurate, you think? He just never, you never see that guy?

I know a lot of people have picked apart the physics of that where a lot of it doesn't make any sense. But I know that we got it pulled up right here. The International Space Station orbits the earth at 4.76 miles a second. So that means the people inside of it are also moving that fast too. So if they step out of the space station and, you know, stop touching it, they're still moving at that speed. It's not like they're no longer moving that fast and they fly back. And what makes it like, yeah, and they're just going in a circle.

They're in orbit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but these are all words. Yeah., and they're just going in a circle. They're in orbit. Yeah. Yeah, but these are all words. I know they're words. Yes, exactly. Yeah. You know, you move until something slows you down. So there's no air resistance in space.

So once you get going, you're just going. Yeah. So they're being tugged down by the Earth's gravity and moving super fast that way. So what it does is it just orbits. So they're caught in a perfect, like really you kind of caught in like a perfect. Yeah, it has to be. So if you went up a couple, you'd be like,

well now we're going slower maybe. I think it would be different, right? I think it has to be that right. They have to calibrate it just right. Yeah, okay. There's a lot of moving pieces, smart people doing this stuff. How many people ever get lost in space? We haven't lost anybody. Ah, yeah. Not a lot of moving pieces, smart people doing this stuff. How many people ever get lost in space?

We haven't lost anybody. Yeah. Not a lot of people get up there. Well, not that we know of. Yeah. That's true. Maybe you just don't tell us. But I remember the John.

Maybe the people up there right now are lost. Yeah. They might be. You know, they do it in the movie Apollo 13, but I guess it's based in truth where at one point they just, they had to just look at the earth and just head towards it because they had to shut off the navigation system for power. So they were just like going off eyesight. So that's pretty crazy. That's probably as close as we've gotten. We lost a bunch of people on the way up. You know, they died in a fire. Yeah,

there's nothing to do with space. But there's those people who were, I don't know if they're still in the space station, but they they got left up there We've been covering it pretty close. You have one of them is from Mount Juliet, Tennessee Oh really by old friends with Brian And they delivered on some some Santa hats so I think we were wondering you know Probably instead of getting the Santa hats they were like maybe just get us out of here Yeah, they go, but why don't you use the thing that you use of getting the Santa hats, they were like, maybe just get us out of here. Yeah. They go, but why don't you use the thing that you use to bring the Santa hats?

Yeah. Yeah, take us back. And they go, no, it just fits Santa hats. I think they have an attic of the space station. They go up there every Christmas. And then they go get the tree down. Yeah. The lights up.

Fourth of July and all that stuff. Yeah. Yeah, we want to have him on the podcast once he gets back. Oh, cool. Fourth of July and all that stuff. Yeah. We want to have him on the podcast once he gets back. Oh, cool. Okay. Or at least I do. All right.

Well, I'm telling you guys stuff you already know. Yeah. All right. Cherry, cherry, cherry, cherry Allen, does he just continue to read the ingredients list that A Quiet Volume had of me dying? Just mumbling about how there's no reason there should be that many ingredients was hilarious Yeah, yeah, I mean we were talking about Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Aaron pulled it up and some wild ingredients in there I just it doesn't make any sense to me. I thought it would just be wheat. I think what makes it good That's like, you know, that's like gravity in orbit. You know, it's like

perfect. No one knows what it ends. Right. You know, you start, you start naming what is in it. You're like, no one knows what it is. Nate looks at gravity like a gas leak. Like, you know, there's a hole somewhere and gravity got in. Yeah, that's what I figured. Yeah. So which of these ingredients do you object I don't think this was the list that we had pulled out. No, it was a different one. This is, this is, um, crispy cream being like, let us put our spin on it. Yeah. I recognize all that. A little castor sugar.

I know we're having a lot of that. Little glaze stabilizer. Water's listed more than once. Tapioca starch. They're so desperate. They put water on there twice. A little emulsifier. You can never have too much water.

Our vegetable shortening is awesome. What's a yeast dough concentrate? Those sorts of things. Right. What makes up a yeast dough concentrate? Probably yeast. You guys ever had an unstabilized glaze? You don't want to get an unstabilized glaze.

No, that's what Dunkin' Donuts has. Unstabilized glaze. You don't want to get it. No, no, no. Oh, dear. No, that's what Dunkin' Donuts has. Unstabilized glass. That's Voodoo Donuts. John Clark. I think Brian is too smart at times and his clever lines go unnoticed by the others. Yeah, that's a cap. Love the podcast.

Looking forward to seeing Nate when he comes to Charleston, South Carolina this summer. What's he talking about? The last 240 episodes. How many episodes have we done? This is 237. We've done that many episodes? That many, dude. Golly.

For 237 episodes, we'd try to get you on, Ryan. We made it happen. Is that right? Well, I'm happy to be here. Sorry it took me so long. It's all right. Smart guy. So there's not even an example. That was just you putting something in. Well, he commented this week.

I took out the one specific because when we were talking about Greg Warren eating some donuts and I said, yeah, he's a consumer. I noticed it. Actually, we made eye contact. Yeah. I actually think that I got more than it deserved. That's why I took it out. My bad.. Yeah, I actually think that I got more than it deserves That's why I took it out. I bet we'll be sure John. Maybe John Clark's not all that smart Yeah, or maybe that's just me John Clark sounds like a name Brian Bates would make

I'm not even going to Charleston Well, do you want us to bring the podcast to a screeching halt and give Brian his flowers every time he makes a joke? Applause brags every time. Yeah. Maybe once again in 240 episodes. Good joke, Brian. Jensen Thomas, Nate being able to do math.

Jensen Thomas, Nate being able to do math in relation to donuts is like Kevin from the office only being able to do math in relation to pies. Yeah. I don't even know if you realize you were doing it at the time, but you were just flying through. Yeah. You're doing algebra. Yeah.

Carry the one. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I think I have, I can do math. I just do it my own way. Common Core. Honestly, I made fun of Common Core, but I bet I,

Common Core is probably kind of how I think about math. No, you're who it's built for. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They didn't have it. I was ahead of the game. Right. I could have started it. You were doing Common Core before it was cool. Yeah. Before it was common. Yeah. I'm have started it. You were doing Common Core before it was cool. Yeah, before it was Common. Yeah.

I'm Common Core. Yeah. Krista Nebiker. Go Nate! I live in Idaho. I did 75 hard in the winter through many blizzards. If I can do it, anyone can. you will love how you feel, I promise. That was a tough one for me to do. Well, it's 75 hard. I'm going to do it.

I'm back to 75 for it. Was not going to do it. That's the diet that you talked about last week. Oh, oh. Yeah. So you got to, do you know what it is? I've heard about it. Yeah, you can work out twice a day and then be on a diet, read 10 books, no, read 10 pages.

That'd be the hard part. That's pretty different. That's pretty different. That's pretty different. And then the water. But I think we're back on it starting Monday. So if you've seen this one, now we're starting Monday. So starting now. Now that'll be like February 3rd.

We'll see what we can get out of it. Krista says if she can do it, anyone can. I do think I need to know a little more about her before I believe that. She said she was my age. Oh, okay. Oh, and she did it recently. Oh, I believe her. In the winter through many blizzards.

I wonder where she's from in Idaho. That's what 75 hard is. Idaho. So your winter up there is like, you can't go outside. Where I'm from in Idaho, it's rough. It was 40 below last week. 40 below? Well, yeah. Yeah. It was 40 below last week. Wow.

40 below? Yeah. Yeah. Holy shit. Yeah, up in the mountains, it gets cold. But I don't know where she's from. There's a lot of different places in Idaho. Is there?

Yeah. Learned a lot. 40 below? 40 below is insane. What do you- That was uncommon. Yeah. Was school canceled just because it's like, come on. Where my family's living now was 40 below. Where I grew up, we would get out of

school 20 below. 20 below. Yeah. So y'all had to wear like special coats. like, special coats. You gotta wear a coat. Yeah, good one. The best coat you got. Yeah. This isn't trying to coat out weather. This is going to bring the heat. The most coat. But I would think you have to wear like, you know, when you see, when you buy a winter coat and it gets good up to whatever degree right that doesn't really matter here But there it's like not serious. Yeah Would you try to would people try to wear less coats? Yeah people don't I mean, yeah It's not even got cold out here. I remember going skiing and wearing a ball cap because I wanted to be cool Oh, and that was a bad idea

because I wanted to be cool. And that was a bad idea. I think I got frostbite on my ear actually. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's, yeah. Yeah. They cancel the schools here if it's windy. So I can't imagine, I mean, negative 20 seems like a crazy place to draw the line,

but I guess that's how y'all live. Yeah, I mean, I guess I didn't realize even Idaho got that cold, but I guess up in the mountains. We don't think about Idaho a ton. Nobody does really. Yeah. What do you think February 21st in Boise is going to be like? Well Boise is a lot more temperate.

Okay. I'm from right in the corner of like Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Okay. Up in, what? It's a really clever way to plug your dates. Oh, is that what you're doing? I mean, I'll be there February 21st in Boise. I didn't realize. I just want to find out how cold it's going to be. It's a really clever way to plug your dates. Oh, is that what you're doing?

I mean, I'll be there February 21st and boy, I just want to find out how cold it's going to be. It's 33 degrees there right now. You can manage that. Oh, not a big deal. 33. It's above freezing. No, you're going to be fine. It's a good time to go because people want to be outside in the summer. Now, the summer and fall is unbelievable where you're from.

Really? Yes, amazing. That's where it's all for. It gets like jacket weather every night and it never gets above like 90. Wow. Yeah, really nice. For about a week and a half. And then how many people grew up in your town? A thousand.

Oh, really? A thousand people. Wow. Yep. Tiny little town. Still talk to them all? All of them. Every one of them. Yeah, every one of them. We just had a high school reunion actually.

I had like 60 people in my class. I know you had a small class. Yeah, I had a small class too. Yeah. And so I kind of feel like they're like cousins almost or second cousins. I kind of know what they're all doing because I talk to their parents and their parents talk to my parents, whatever.

So, yeah. but I mean. Thousand people's like Java, thousand people in 60 were in your graduating class? Yeah, 62. We had one of the best, biggest ever, best ever, one of the biggest ever. It was a big deal. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Think Idaho is really underrated or are you pretty happy with this place? What's the name of your town?

Yeah. Ashton. Ashton. That sounds fancy. So what do you got to do to fly there? It's not. How do you get there to fly? Like what do you do?

I got to fly either through Denver or Salt Lake into Idaho Falls and then drive an hour. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And has your family grew up there the whole time? My mom's family's been there forever. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you got it there.

1,127. It's the world's largest seed potato growing area. Yep. That's pretty nice. And the oldest dog race. Yes. You know about that? Well, today's topic is Idaho.

So, was that right? Well, I can wait. Oh, my bad. I'll wait. I'll, I'm sorry. We're getting into it. So we're talking about it. It's okay. That's okay.

the comment about the wicked movie and witches, the power went out. Yeah, everybody keeps calling them conspiracies, but it keeps coming true. It's hard once the truth. Well, it'd be a better theory if it hadn't happened the last three weeks. Yeah, that's true. It happened once against when I was announcing my shows. But who knows what we, yeah, I mean, yeah. So anytime evil is about.

Power goes out here a lot. Yeah. That's what I just said. There's a fly going around. Yeah, I'm trying to get it for you, Ryan, but if I hit you by accident, I'm sorry. Well, at least I'll know. He's like, I'd almost rather you let the fly go around

than you hit me. Yeah. My bad, I'll cool off. Paul's getting on you. Ty Wimmer. Ty Wimmer. My favorite part of this episode is when Aaron says a lot of the actors from the Friday Night Lights movie and TV show are the same, but indeed not a single actor is on both

the show and movie. That Notre Dame loss may have him out of source. Oh, wow. That's insane. To do zero research about it and then write in a comment where you're this wrong is crazy. So is it? Wow. Connie Britton, who's the one or two lead actor on the series is the coach's wife in the movie.

And then there are a bunch of smaller characters. Buddy Garrity plays a booster in both movies. I think Brad Leland is the actor's name. And then Coach Mack in the series, he's a ref in the state championship game in the movie. There's a bunch. Just maybe be one of your best burns. What do you mean? I mean, you're burning them. Oh, I'm destroying this guy movie. There's a bunch. So I mean, one of your best burns.

What do you mean? I mean, you're burning them. Oh, I'm destroying this guy. This guy's no good. Do a little research, Ty, before you ride in. Do a little research and stop Ty and start winning. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah. Maybe he was thinking about- Ty's last name is Wimmer. Yeah. Yeah. Ty winner. Now, it's that last sentence in that comment that got to me.

I wouldn't have- That Notre Dame loss may have him have it's sorts. It did for a while, but I feel good about things now. Yeah. Now, it's that last sentence in that comment that got to me. I wouldn't have known. Notre Dame lost may have been out of sorts. It did for a while, but I feel good about things now. Yep. I feel good. Perry Jerry, Rickanatter. Perry Jerry, Rikenatter. That's a great name.

Perry Jerry's fun. Uh, I love the breakfast club, but how could they have forgotten Napoleon Dynamite? We didn't list a ton of high school movies. Oh yeah. Great movie though, Napoleon Dynamite. That's in Idaho too. I was going to say more of an Idaho movie than a high school movie, I feel like. That movie came out and I was at a premiere of it and I could not, I mean,

I was in shock at how accurate it was. Oh really? Yeah. It would, blew my mind. Yeah. It was so funny, but I couldn't believe that they captured- Like you related to it so much. Oh, wow.

Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. Like, I thought it was a documentary. To Napoleon or just to the- Kind of to Napoleon. But to the farmer? Just the to Napoleon. But to the farmer? Just the whole thing.

So, oh, the farmer was like, that's a real guy. Yeah, you know that that's a guy that's not an actor. I think they actually just had that guy talk. Yeah. That was not scripted. I bet they did. It was just a guy talking. Yeah.

Yeah, that was crazy. I mean, I've watched that and thought, well, I guess my career's over. These guys already did everything about my life. Yeah. They got like a proclamation from the state of Idaho for that movie. What does that mean?

The state legislature passed something acknowledging how nicely they portrayed the state and thanking them for portraying Idaho in such a favorable way. I love that scene. You go, can't find my checkbook. Hope don't mind a payin' change. It's a great movie. It's a great movie. And Uncle Rico is a beloved character that, I mean, so many pop culture references.

Those guys are so- Did you go, how did you, did you go to the premiere? I went to some premiere because I knew somebody. I mean, that show was like, that movie was like an independent thing when it first came out and those guys went to the same college I went to, but they were there a couple years after me. So, I kind of knew people who knew them. I can't remember why I ended up there,

but it was like, it was that movie. It wasn't a big release. It was like, it was, I think it was a Sundance thing maybe. And then it kind of like caught on. Yeah. Yeah. What's the, is there a town in it that they're- They're in a town called, oh, it's right over the Utah border.

What is the name of that? I don't know if they name it in the movie, but I think that right over the Utah border. What is the name of that? I don't know if they name it in the movie, but I think that's where they shot it. Okay. Franklin County, Idaho. Okay. Oh, filmed at Preston High School in Franklin County. Preston. Yeah, Preston. I think the director went to school there.

Do you know Preston High School? I know where Preston is. Yeah. Yeah. How far away are you from Preston? Like maybe two and a half hours. Okay. I mean, Brian could get there on his tour if he had to.

Yeah, who books that? I was the age of 13 when this came out. For a five-year stretch, this was the most quoted thing at all kids my age. Your mom goes to college. We quoted this movie all kids my age. Your mom goes to college, all that. We quoted this movie all the time, too. We're just asking, because you have a movie like that was a big movie when you graduated high school. That everybody watched or quoted.

Like old school or Napoleon, you know. Yeah, yeah, that was a big one. Yeah, old school was, what year'd you graduate? I graduated in 94, so this was after I graduated. Unbelievable year for movies Really? Oh, yeah. You remember a big movie from high school? I don't know No, I don't From high school. Remember this movie coming out? Pulp Fiction, Shawshank? Shawshank. We'll be dancing this on the podcast

I didn't watch Shawshank when it came out actually. Nah, still haven't. I mean, Shawshank, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump. Mask, Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump maybe. He just straight to the mask. Yeah. That was talking.

The mask. Brian, you tell me you don't remember the mask. I remember them. I don't remember like in high school. I guess Forrest Gump was big. Dumb and Dumber. Oh, Leon the Professional. Oh, Dumb and Dumber probably.

I've been debating watching that Leon the Professional. It's so good. Is it? My mom used to say that you look like him. Because I look at the picture. Yeah. And I always think like, I don't know, I gotta follow this little girl now. That's. And then I see the picture and I'm like, I got to follow some of the girls in it. I've never heard it called Leon. I just always heard it as the professional. I remember a lot of movies right after. It's so good. Wow. Well, I'm not going to do it tonight, but...

You got the same eyes as this guy. I do? Yeah. He's wearing sunglasses. No, but I know what he looks like. Yeah. Okay. I think Pet Detective was around then, I think that was 95 maybe. We've already said the ones that were.

No, Pet Detective was 94. Oh, there we go. What a year for Tim Carey. What? The Mask, Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura. Ace Ventura, come out in 94. That's crazy. True Lies, that's a great one. these movies are all throughout the best year of movies.

What about Tommy Boy? When was Tommy Boy? 97. Oh, that was later. That was mine. Oh, really? I graduated in 97. Maybe it was Street Fighter. Maybe it was Little Women. Angels and Outfield. Angels and Outfield, great movie. So did you just watch movies all the time when you were in high school? That's all we did. All these good movies. I worked at a... I was working at a video store in 94. So I took almost all these home. A Blockbuster or something else? No. Adventure video. A Lebanon... well, family video?

Not a mega video. Yeah. Blockbuster. Blockbuster. I'm doing family-owned. Yeah, do your mind? We had a tanning bed. Mega bed, yeah. She had a tanning bed. Mega bed. Yeah.

She had a tanning bed? Blockbuster had benefits. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. What did it cost to run a movie? Do you remember? Dollar, maybe like 99 cents or a dollar.

They had like a... It was around that. Was it before credit cards? I think you do credit card if you... Yeah. It was one of those where you had to get out that big thing. Yeah. It had like, uh, it was around that. Was it before credit cards? I think you do credit card if you, yeah. It was one of those where you had to get out that big thing. It was a pain to do. We would get so mad if somebody paid with credit card.

Really? Then how did you get people to return stuff? Do you have to pay? You had the card, the venture, like the mega. Technically you really couldn't, right? Maybe we had their credit card on file. Or their bank account or something. I don't think we were that elaborate. I think they just had an account. They had an account, you had to write it, file. Or their bank account or something. I don't think we were that elaborate. I think they just had an account.

They had an account, you had to write it, yeah. They had an account. And you couldn't get another, yeah. Because then I think that would be the problem is like, what are they gonna do? Like how are, but- They could steal once, but then they couldn't rent again until they get it.

Right, oh, okay. We had a Dropbox with a camera on it, so. Okay. You know, if they said, I returned it, you know, we could prove if they could get it or not. That's cool, did you ever have to do that? I didn't, maybe the manager did. I think I remember being in $1.99,

99 cents where they had like a 99 cents bin where you could go and get some stuff. It was, you never rented anything. Are you DVDs? I remember, yeah, I remember renting a few DVDs, video games we would rent. I think it was the most fun. It's the best.

It was a great time. It was a great time. It was a great time. Physical media. It's where it's at. You're much more invested. You rent something and take it home and it's this or nothing. You're going to stick it out.

Yeah. And it's more like you sit there and you go, all right, y'all ready? Like we're, it's more of the, it's little stuff that it adds to versus now. It's like, you kind of take everything for granted now. Like maybe I take Leon professional for granted because it's there. Shawshank I take for granted. It's always on. So I'm like, well, I don't need to see it.

You should though. Well, one day I got two now. I have seen Mighty Ducks one and two. I'm trying to think what I watched the other night. I watched something. A movie that's... Oh Maverick 94? Yeah. Richie Rich, The Client. I started watching something. There's an argument to me that Hey, this is the best movie.

You know what I started watching? Yeah. Uh, I tried to start watch West ruling last night. Did you really? Yeah. So I started, I think this is your second or third try. Yeah. So I had started, uh, the first episode, maybe eight months to a year ago.

Then I just pressed it said resume play. I just went right back into it. And then I was like, kind of did it. And I made it into the second episode. And then I was like, I don't know. It was like, I was signing my book. So I have to sign, so I've signed copies of my book. This is the cover of it.

There it is. There it is. Big dumb eyes. Oh, that's what you've been saying. Yeah. I thought you were saying the big dumb eyes. Yeah, I know a lot of people. So, but I had to sign, so I gotta, I gotta do signed copies. And it's, and so I was like, yeah, I think I just was like having to focus too much. And then I think I also got a little bored. That's not a good zone out and put it on in the background show.

Can I just skip to a season or do I gotta go through the whole thing? I think you asked that three years ago on the pod. There's episode, uh, crack pots and these women. That's, that's where I was like, this show's great. That might be the one I'm on. That's the second episode. No, it's either the third or the fifth. And it ends with Martin Sheen gives the speech to the staff at the end where you're like, oh, this is as good as TV can be. I remember feeling that.

Can I? It took a while. You can go ahead and skip. Yeah. I think. Mark. I don't know why y'all are laughing. You just said, you made such a big statement.

This is as good as TV can be. I said I remember feeling. Okay. I just, that was just funny to me. How old were you? I'm not mad at you for making me. Uh, maybe 13 or 14. How do you have those feelings at 13?

I can't even imagine thinking about TV like that in depth. But then again, we were probably watching step by step. I don't think, yeah, I was, I never was watching anything that, no, I didn't. He's, you're intellectual. I mean, I remember the Incredible Hulk and when there was a second Hulk, they had a fight each other. I thought this is the best television's ever going to get. Was it like a Grey Hulk?

Television's barely been around. Yeah, everybody was Grey because it was black and white. I didn't know Hulk was green until 1994. At first he didn't know it was two Hulks. He thought his TV was just skipping and then he hit the side of it and he goes, what a second. I think this is on purpose. Steven Bass, just like Nate, I never made my high school basketball team and resorted

to playing church league on carpet. Aaron, I forward you a link to this. But this made me eligible for a halftime contest. I got randomly selected to do a halftime of an Auburn game in college. I won five grand in dramatic fashion. I then also went on to walk onto the team I junior and play for coach Bruce Pearl.

Wow. Oh, that's this kid? Yeah. Oh wow. I know Stephen Bass. I think you do. I think you play pickleball with him. He made a layup. Oh, yeah. Now he's going to make a free throw. Yeah, he's like a good. Stephen Bass hung out with me at the parade. He's going to make a three-pointer. Now we got to make a half court shot here. Oh, no. That's the dramatic. I mean, he airballed the three. Now he's got to go back, set it. That's got to go in. Oh, man. He's got, I guess you get three tries at each.

What do you got? Like 30 seconds, I guess? Yeah, you got 30 seconds. Okay, so he made that. Now he's got to make the half court shot. Three, two, one. No way! Oh man. What a feeling.

That's crazy. Yeah, Steven Bass, I hung out with him at the parade. Oh wow. Yeah. This is amazing. I had no idea. Smart that you just go that other way. Go to the other goal.

Yeah. Look at this. Man. And then I think the other link I sent you, go that other way. Go to the other goal. Yeah. Look at this. Wow. And then I think the other link I sent you, yeah, it's just him on the Auburn basketball. He went from getting cut from his high school team to- Actually making it.

Playing for Bruce Pearl. Look at that. This guy crushes it. 6'6", how'd he cut him from his high school team? Had cigars with that guy. Yeah, he's a big guy. What about that? Incredible athlete, had no idea.

Wow, you didn't know this at the time? No, I had no idea he was this- He's a big guy. How about that? Incredible athlete. Had no idea. Wow. You didn't know this at the time? No, I had no idea he was this. He's a professional pickleball player, right? Yeah. Oh, really? I think so. Yeah. Wow. Wow. He's invited us to come play pickleball with him in Kid Rock. Oh, yeah? Yeah. This is an interesting kid. Yeah. He's the most interesting man in the world.

See, that's what happens. You cut us from the, you cut us Yeah. He's the most interesting man in the world. See that's what happens. You cut us from the high school basketball team. We're going to make you pay later in life because we're going to be killing it. He's with Kid Rock. I'd like him to go play against my dad who plays pickleball all the time. Is that hometown Murphy's ball? Is he good?

Oh, he lives in Mur... My dad is good but I'd like to- My dad, him and they would- My buddy Adam Saund from high school, him and my dad played together, and they're on the same team a lot. So I just would be- Like, I would like my dad to see a professional.

Yeah. He might've seen, I mean, all these old people, they get into it. Adam Sond's not old. Adam Sond, he might know Adam Sond. Actually, Adam Sond played basketball. He's probably young. Adam Sond played, he graduated with me. He played for Belmont. This guy played 2013. Yeah. So you may forget. You're like, I may know Adam Son, we graduated in 1973. Uh, Doug Destiny Farley. Dusty, you're coming to Boise, Idaho, February 21st. Is the material you're going to be performing on the 21st your new special?

You're shooting on the 28th or you already trying out new material? Either way, I can't wait to see you. Uh, well, I had no, I can't wait to see you. Well, I had no idea that was in there. I would not have slipped that plug in for my... But I... It'll probably be the exact material that I'll record on the special. Because that's very close.

So it'll probably be the exact thing. Yeah, so hold off for the special. Uh... No. Did he tell me? Don't go out. I'd wait for this special. Come see it live. No, go see it live. You want to see it live then you see it's always gonna be a little different. Yeah. That is true. Now I read that Idahoans, is that? What's that? Idahoans? Oh Idahoans. Yeah. How do you pronounce Boise?

Boise. But less with a Z and more with a S. Yeah. Boise. Boise. Boise. Boise. Boise.

We say Boise. Yeah. There's always too much emphasis on the last syllable for some reason. Yeah. Boise. Boise. Boise. Boise.

Boise. Then get out of it. Boise. Boise, Idaho. A new sponsor of the podcast. You guys know I have two cats, Mitzi and Glovesy.

Ferguson, boss, is the current capital of Idaho, but Lewiston was the original capstone. Southern Idaho residents wanted the capital further south, so the Idaho Secretary of State, Clinton D. Witt Smith, named himself governor while governor Caleb Lyon was out of state duck hunting. Essentially, the Boise folks were like, we are the capital now and went and stole all the stuff that made them the capital. That's awesome.

Gosh. I didn't know that. They don't teach that? I love Boise. No idea if it's true. I don't know. Why is this a comment? What, what, what?

I've been saving that. I don't understand. It's a fair question. It's a fair question. Why is this a comment? What would, what would, what? I've been saving that. It's a fair question. It's a fair question. I have a running list of, we do every state. Oh, okay. You know, this is probably state 30, maybe we're on. Okay.

People will say, Hey, when you do our state, here's a fun fact. I save it. And today's that day. Kyle said that probably three years ago. We've been waiting for you, Ryan. We've been holding off Idaho. You are our Idaho. There's no one else. Are you the only comic from Idaho? Do you guys know Dan Cummins? Yeah, Dan's from Idaho. There's a few. There's a few. Yeah. But I started in Utah, but I grew up in Idaho. Yeah. Yeah. We've done a Utah episode. So,

okay. Well, I won't talk about it. Do you know how, uh, Idaho got its name? No, it's an Idaho. It's a, it's an Idaho. It's an Indian or a native American word. Right. A lot of people think that it was actually a woman there who got around named Ida. I've had a lot of audience members tell me that, but I wasn't sure it was true. It's supposedly a Native American word. She's still around, you think? Yeah.

It's like. Okay. February 21st? Yeah, she's gonna be in Boise on February 21st. Yeah. A politician named George Willing came up with it. He said it meant Native American word, meaning gym of the mountains. But later after being pressed on, he admitted he just made it up. Really?

Just a made up word. Wow. These politicians in Idaho are ruthless. Yeah. I know. That's a good made up word. Yeah, it is. I don't know if I can make up a word.

Like, you know. Yeah. Your beatbox is broke. Your beatbox. Yeah, I mean, but the name of it, state, Idaho sounds perfect. Yeah. That's unbelievable. You look at it, it's just like, that should be called Idaho. Yeah.

Wow. I did not know that. You think you can make up a state name? No, but I think a lot of it is you're familiar with it. I think if you had never heard it and I said it, you'd think that was weird. Right. Yeah, I know. But I mean for it to work out like that. Yeah, it's worked out great. It's like gravity. It's the gravity of America. It is.

You're cheating. You're cheating. It's what's holding us back. Yeah. Keeping us down. He us back. Yeah. Oh. All right. Keeping us down. That was very funny. He didn't. Yeah.

It's based off of a real girl though, Ida. Well, I think- Ida. They're not sure if even that's true. Oh, okay. But Ida sounds like a name. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Ida. Yeah. I mean, when it comes down to this, and I don't know, maybe they didn't use the ho term back then, you know what I mean but right if there was a real girl named Ida and then this guy's like oh I just made it up gym of the mountain now it sounds like it did kind of come as an insult to this yeah poor girl named Ida they probably just rejected this guy right and then instead of him just accepting the rejection he's now name calling yeah I mean all the stuff, it sounds like y'all were founded in 1964.

I mean, like even the capital things, like he was the state duck hunting. You're like, is this, how recent was this? We've kind of been in the same place for a long time. And yeah, it's interesting he said gem because they call it the gem state. Yeah. Yeah. You know that. I do know that. These guys. Why do they call it that? A lot of gems. I guess the gem state. Yeah. I don't know why. Yeah. There's a lot of gems. It has over 80 variety of gemstones. There you go. Is that high? I mean, you could tell me that's the lowest and I would have thought. It must be high. Yeah.

I don't know. Something like that, it's gotta be high. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. In the late 1800s, Ida was one of the top 10 most popular girls names in the US. It's now about 1200 in popularity.

Oh, okay. So it's dropped down significantly. Probably the state name has probably hurt the overall name for a girl. I mean, if you name your kid Ida now, you're just teeing her up. Yeah, exactly.

Right. It's too bad. That's a shame. Too bad. Either called Idaho or you're called a potato or- Or Ida. Or Ida, just a bad name in general. No, isn't there a potato called Or Ida?

Yeah, there's a potato company. Or Ida. Yeah. No, is it their potato called or either? Yeah, there's a potato company. He really hung them out to dry. In 1990, there were 1 million people live in Idaho. They just hit 2 million. Wow. Wow. It's the fastest growing state over the last couple of decades, right? Yeah, they keep saying that. They just hit 2 million. Wow. Wow. It's the fastest growing state over the last couple of decades, right? Yeah, they keep saying that.

Yeah, that's what I hear. Everybody's moving there. Yeah, why is that? I think people want to get out of certain places and they're looking for, like you guys are growing here, everybody's just moving around. Everybody's moving around. Yeah. Where do they move?

Boise. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of people move in Boise, but a lot of places. Where's the best weather in Idaho? I mean, Boise is probably the most temperate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It'll seem like they would want the capital to be there. Yeah.

It makes sense. Yeah. I don't know how it, I mean. Yeah. It makes sense if you live South, but not if you're North. They're like, we gotta conduct a lot of business and it's pretty cold up here. The Northern part of Idaho is like, I mean, very sparsely populated

and you can't even get from Southern Idaho to Northern Idaho without leaving the state. Like if you're gonna drive, this would be terrible for your tour. But if you were gonna drive. Why is that? Well, he would do a stopover. It's, um, it's very, uh, remote.

It's like part of the most remote wilderness in the whole country is like in Northern Idaho. Oh wow. Like close to Spokane up there. Yeah. But like between like Spokane and Boise, it's all mountain. You think it'll be bad near Spokane February 23rd? I don't know. I think it'd be great. You there to 23rd? I'm there be bad near Spokane February 23rd? I don't know.

I think it'd be great. You there to 23rd? I'm there. Spokane comedy club February 23rd. Oh, wait, y'all are going to be kind of up. Yeah. How far is boys stick around? It's a ways.

Yeah. Uh, you got to go through the boys. That coral, go scroll back down to, uh, no, no, the Spokane, Basque Spokane. Uh, that CURTA, what is it? CUR, Coeur d'Alene, that place is crazy. Yeah, it's beautiful, right? Yeah, it's gorgeous. I've golfed there. I golfed with Dustin Nickerson. Oh really? Yeah. It's a nice spot. Yeah, a lot of people love it. A lot of like second homes and... Mm-hmm. Yeah, my fourth home's there. Your fourth? That's how far I'd go. Wow. Yeah. I didn't even have a second and third. Yeah. I went to the beautiful. Yeah, my fourth home's there. Your fourth home? That's how far I'd go. Wow.

Yeah. I didn't even, I don't even have a second and third. Yeah. I went to the fourth. Yeah. Yeah. Second home's cliche. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's a fun fact I read. You can get to Idaho by boat from the Pacific Ocean. No way. Oh, okay. Well, that's what Lewis and Clark did. Did they? They went all the way to the Pacific through Idaho.

Yeah. Well, but they walked to the coast, right? I think a lot of it was on boats. Okay. I could be wrong. There are rivers that run inland that you can get off. Oh, this was a- Take the river.

Brian used to be in, when he did debates, this was one of the main debates. So I don't know if you want to go against it. I don't know if I wanted to. This was a hot topic back when he was in high school. Current event. Yeah. Lewis Clark were there. But maybe, yeah, I don't know how much of it was in boats, but I thought they did that,

I don't know. Kind of Bigfoot sightings you guys got up there. Lot. I know people who swear that they've seen Big know. Kind of Bigfoot sightings you guys got up there, lot? I know people who swear that they've seen Bigfoot. Really? Yeah. I mean, so I know, how far are you from Boise? Like four and a half hours. So you're north?

I'm like east and a little north. Yeah, and then, so like you said, by Spokane, like if you get up in that, do people go up there and camp and stuff? Like is that like known for hiking or is it like remote where like no one really goes? Oh, you can go up there. I mean, yeah, it's beautiful, but it's very remote. I did like a river trip like 10 days on the river and went to all these places.

The only place you can get there, only way you can get there is on the river or to fly like these little planes. Wow. Yeah. And you just feel you're on the river or to fly like these little planes. Wow. Yeah And you just feel you're in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, it's so like amazing but hiking though Like people extreme hiking they could yeah, they would do over the mountain and stuff. Oh, yeah Yeah, yeah lots of that stuff up there. Yeah a lot of it. Yeah. Yeah, it's beautiful. I think I could go to some extreme Hiking. Yeah, I mean, I'd start out extreme, but do like three days. I remember the last time you went on a big hike, you came back pretty excited about it.

It's the best. I like the feeling of, I feel like I'm in the middle of nowhere. It's the best. And then you haven't done it since? We, well, it just, I mean, it got so hard. But it's like, cause I don't, we did it, we did it on the road and we were up in Banff and we went and hiked and it was like 10, 11 hours. And you're just like going and going and it's awesome.

And you're just like out there. Banff is popular. So you would see some people, but yeah, if you could go somewhere like that, where you're like, you're almost guaranteed to not see anybody. Yeah. It's, it's like, you know, it's nice. You got to have the right people to be with that are willing to, you know, that can do it and go. Yeah.

You know, but it's, yeah, it was, it was, I love it. That was overnight or you did one day? No, no, that was just one day. Oh, yeah. But I mean, when we came back to the ho there's a hotel there and we came back in there to go eat after with our buddies and it felt weird because it was just, we've been alone for 11 hours and then just walk back into like normal restaurant. And you're like, you're just like, huh?

It's like, you got to reintroduce yourself to reality and like be like, huh. Cause you walk in just feeling like a maniac. Cause you just been out. Hey bear. Hey bear. So yeah, I would be the idea of just going up there, Do you know the singer musician, Mike Posner, if you heard of him, he said a bunch of big songs.

He walked across America a few years ago from like Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean. And he said in an interview, he said the weirdest thing when you're walking, like cities are so weird. You don't think about it, but cities are such a small little part of the country that you're just walking and walking and walking

and the city pops up and you're like, this is just so odd. It's like out of nowhere and it's crazy. And you walk past it, but most of the country is just- Oh yeah. The woods. The woods. Well, that was like a thing. I think I saw it on a video about someone being like Americans don't travel. And then it's like, we've put America over where Europe is. You're like, yeah, we're traveling. Like it's, imagine these are all countries.

Right. Right. We're traveling just like you're traveling. Right. It just doesn't feel like that because it's, we came together. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

If they were just a vibe, like if we had to show our passport to go into Alabama, it would be like we're going to another. Yeah, America fits over Europe by a little or a ton. I'm not positive, but it's a good bit. I think, oh, Europe is only slightly larger than I was the exact opposite. No, but if you look at it here, I mean, that's what you said. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. Well, I don't even, how here, I mean, that's what you said. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy.

Well, I don't even, how does that, oh, that's Europe underneath it. It's the green. So we're bigger, right? Yeah. Why are we all out in the water like that? Don't put us all out in the water and then be like, you're not bigger. Yeah. So like they, yeah. So they would say like, oh, they go to a bunch of different, that's a little bit easier. Who's in charge of this mountain? Yeah, uh, that's a little bit easier.

Yeah, dude, that's crazy. That's big. So that's like Ryan is from the UK and we're from Romania. Same distance. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Yeah. And that's what I think they, so they think like, oh yeah, we've never been to all these different cultures, like we, you yeah, we've never been to all these different cultures. Like we, you know, we just came together as a group.

We're doing some stuff, dude. We travel. Yeah. Um, 38% of Idaho is owned by the U S forest service. Forrest. Yeah. Forrest. What'd you think?

I thought he said Forrest., forced is right too though. Forced. It is forced. Yeah. Forced. Forced. 38%. That's a lot. Yeah. Who are they? United States Forest Service? Yeah. Like Smokey the Bear? Smokey the Bear owns most of Idaho. He's the only guy I know who works there. How do you even buy it? Well, it's just a government agency that handles it. I think in some ways it's good because they're like not letting people bulldoze it and destroy the forest. But in other ways it's like, they're like, this is ours.

Yeah. Yeah. It does feel like this. And they just said, that's, yeah, that's ours. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It does feel like this. And they just said, that's yeah, that's ours. Wow. Nevada has 80%. Yeah. I know top five. Yeah. Oh, well, that's totally different than what I just said. Well, I think this is, this is total federal federal land. So there's other stuff besides forest service. Right. Some military bases. Nevada, 84%.

That's so crazy. It's most of the state. There is the Idaho National Laboratory. It's the country's largest department of energy facility. Yeah, that's near where I grew up. What do they do there? They used to make nuclear subs. In Idaho?

Yeah, it's way out in the middle of nowhere. It's crazy to drive around out there, there's all these fences and buildings. You don't know what's going on, but it's the Idaho national. Of course. Oh, is this, is this, is this? That's going on. UFO reverse engineering. Well, any of that stuff is always weird when you're like out in the middle of nowhere and

you're like, oh, this is like some kind of military place. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, what's going on out here? Yeah. Yeah. And then you don't know. Yeah. Nuclear. We went out there in a field trip once and saw this nuclear facility. It's pretty amazing. Then they're building next to it. They're probably grafting different species of animals together. You saw what they wanted you to see, right?

Yeah. Yeah. It was a control. That's what they wanted you to see, right? Yeah, yeah. It was the controls. That's what I was about to say too. Yeah. You didn't go see the real... Yeah, I don't think they showed it to us on the field trip, whatever you're talking about. So y'all, yeah, is it, so you grew up near nuclear stuff. Do you think that's why you are how you are? Probably. Yeah. You got a little look, like a little lookier too, a little too close. The first city that was ever powered by nuclear power is in Idaho, I believe. I think it's called Arco. Yeah, Arco, Idaho, small town in Eastern Idaho, 1955.

They were doing this in 1955. Fully powered by nuclear energy when the Borax 3 reactor turned on, it is now the site of the Idaho National Laboratory. Well, how's the city doing now? It's, not much is going on there. Yeah. But did like nothing bad happen? No, no, it's a cool little town. I've driven through it. It's like a cool,

tiny little town. I thought they did have an accident there. Oh, did they? Maybe. I don't know. I think there was a nuclear reactor accident. I felt like somebody- Oh, maybe, maybe. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. Well, they don't mention on their Wikipedia page. Well, blew right over it.

Yeah. I was looking for a section called like disasters or something, but there's not one. I say, let's do it then. If they've been doing it since the fifties, are they still doing it or they stopped it? Aaron, look up atomic city. I don't know. I know. Yeah.

Okay. I mean, if it worked there, why would it not work everywhere? Let's do it here. Yeah. This is a atomic city is an unincorporated area in Bingham County population 41 up from 29 it's booming over the last 10 years. Big influx in Idaho, you know? Okay.

So it's the halfway point between Blackfoot and ARCO. Okay. Uh, yeah. What about it, Brian? I think that's where they had the accident. Uh, where, but I don't say, I gotta tell you, man, they don't mention it. The Idaho PR, they're scrubbing the stuff from Wikipedia, man. They don't want people to know. And the population is up.

So the population collapsed. Yeah. Yeah. Big time. Almost doubled. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy. It's like, so there's one store and one bar. Yeah. Almost doubled. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy. It's like, so there's one store and one bar.

Yeah. That also store no longer sells gasoline. Why don't they sell gasoline? New laws pertaining to its underground gas tank. So that's interesting. Can't have gas underground. Yeah. Because of the nuclear stuff.

Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Exactly. We have gas know. I don't know. Exactly. We have gas stations where I live. You live in a real city. Yeah. Yeah.

Big city. You got banks. Yeah. Yeah. Dusty, when was the last time you need to go to a doctor, but you pushed it off? Today. Well, you probably made an excuse like you're too busy. You know, Hill on its own, or you just don't know which doctor to go to.

Lewis and Clark were the first Americans to explore Idaho, 1805. Pretty big deal to you guys. Yeah, we studied Lewis and Clark in fourth grade explore Idaho, 1805. Pretty big deal to you guys?

Yeah, we studied Lewis and Clark in fourth grade pretty extensively, I think. Second Joeena was from Idaho. Yeah. Did you take like an Idaho history class in school growing up, a class about specifically Idaho history? Fourth grade was all about Idaho history. Do you have that?

We had fourth grade with Alabama history. Oh yeah. Yeah, I guess you just pick a- Yeah, wherever you live. The state. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think we're onto something here. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know they were, did that. We had square dancing. Really? Yeah. We learned how to square dance in grade school. Yeah. It's very cultural. Do you keep up with it? I haven't kept up with it. I've learned to call. I decided to learn to call the Squared Dancing. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. And then the state Idaho and then the state motto, esto perpetua, which means let it be perpetual. What's perpetual mean? Just forever. I think forever. Yeah. perpetual, which means let it be perpetual. That was perpetual. I mean, just forever. Yeah. All right.

Let it be perpetual or it shall be perpetual. It's the state motto of auto this we're just going to go on forever. That's what it feels like. Now we're always be here. It was the 43rd state. So one of the last ones. Yeah. Two time zones. Pacific. That I didn't. Oh yeah. Pacific. I guess so. Way up North. Yeah. Spokane is in Pacific. Got a great seal. I've always said that. Yeah. Seal of the state of Idaho is awesome. There's a lot going on. Got a guy with a pickaxe. You got a deer.

So great. They even call it a great seal a pickaxe. You got a, a deer. So great. They even call it a great seal. The great seal. Great seal of the state of Idaho. I think I read they were the first to have a woman on their seal. Oh, nevermind. Kidding.

Very progressive. They have more whitewater rivers than any state in the U S continental U S I guess. Okay. But y'all have a lot of bears and stuff like growing up. Yeah. Be like, you have to keep an eye on. Yeah, we would get stuff. Wait, I was just home and saw, went for a walk and saw a couple of moose.

Yeah. And that's cool. Deer. What about wild cats, mountain lions. Where my family lives now, we had a scare in the neighborhood where there was a, uh, a mountain lion out. Oh yeah. Yeah, and people were spotting it. You got to keep the kids in and stuff.

It's terrifying. Yeah, those are scary. Yeah. My mom grew up seeing a lot of grizzly bears, but I haven't seen many grizzly bears. But I've seen bears, like black bears. I've seen a wolf one time out in the wild when we were out getting a Christmas tree. We would go cut our own Christmas trees up in the mountains and I saw a wolf one time off in the distance. That was pretty wild. They're huge. You can't believe how big they are. But yeah, we would get all sorts of stuff. Yeah. How close were you to the wolf? I didn't feel in danger, but it was like,

wow, that's a big, that's a big creature out there. Yeah. This is saying Idaho, there's about 80 to a hundred grizzly bears in Idaho. Okay. Imagine that having that kind of impact with that few people. They're just, those are powerful creatures, man. Yeah. I don't know how they know that. Yeah, they track them very carefully. There used to be less and then they've introduced more, I think. I don't know. Or, you know, we live close to Yellowstone Park where they're protected. So they get out of the park often. And that's where we see them.

Yeah. Because we live near the border. Once they get out, you can just mow them down. No, no, no. Federal offense. You'll go to jail. Federal offense? Yeah. Killing a grizzly bear? I think so. I mean, you'll get, you'll go to, yeah, you'll, it's big, big, big, big, big, big, No, no, no. Federal offense. You'll go to jail. Federal offense? Yeah. Killing a grizzly bear? I think so. I mean, you'll get, you'll go to, yeah, you'll, it's big,

big, it's a crime. Okay. Yeah. We had, once we were, we were in Yellowstone, uh, hiking, we were walking and, uh, this guy had a big shotgun with two dogs because people would bring guns. Yeah. It guns against a bear attack. Right. And there we go, that's where Travis goes, he goes, this guy's hunting bears. And I was like, I just, I go, I don't think he is. I think it's, and he goes, he goes,

no, I've seen hunting, and that guy's hunting bears. And we were on like a main trail, and the dogs are just roaming. And I was like, Travis, he would be the worst hunter ever. Like a state. And A, it's against the law. So this guy's just like, I don't care, dude. I'll just go hunt grizzly bears. But you have to carry bear spray and all that. Yeah. Yeah. We used to, yeah. You got to be careful. I mean, maybe there are some very select bear hunts. I don't know, but you can't just. What about when you're kids?

No, it says there's no hunting season in Idaho. Intentionally shooting a grizzly bear is a felony. So if you do do it, be like... Do it accidentally. Yeah. No, just be like... The gun went off. Throw your gun on the grizzly bear. Throw, you should carry drugs in a gun. You go, look out, ready to try to sell me drugs. Plant it on the bear.

Plant it on the bear. Yeah. Yeah. That's just, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What's a wild place. Can you imagine if they intentionally, how would they, they go, you go, no, no, no,

the bear was coming at me. And they're like, let's see the claw marks. They go, yeah, they go, I don't know. It doesn't seem, how do they, could prove it. Yeah. So you shot one, you would just go, no, no, no. He was coming at me. I guess. Yeah. I don't know. I guess they could tell by the bullet. So if it's a shotgun, it's like, well then yeah, obviously probably we're close enough. Maybe. Sni get a sniper rifle. Yeah, if they go, well, it looks like this entered from two miles out, you go, hey.

He's coming at me. You know how fast they can move? How close do you want him to get? Yeah. Yeah. Did you want him? He goes, well, the next time I'll let him get on top of me and stab him with a knife, like reverent. Is that the name of the movie?

Revenant. Yeah. Revenant. I think that's it. Is reverent a word? Reverent's also a word. Yeah. Uh, yeah. What else you got? What'd you ask if you played in the woods? Well, I'm just saying like, you know, as a kid, growing up. Did you guys play in the woods? And if you did, did you have encounters with stuff as a kid? Like we would see, I grew up in Alabama,

we would see snakes and deer. Yeah, yeah, I mean, where I grew up, I grew up around a lot of potato fields. So we would get, in the winter, we'd see foxes coming out and we would see deer and stuff. We had a river like a mile behind our house, so there was wildlife back there. And then we would go fish on the river

and we would see stuff. Like I would see, I got real scared by a beaver one time out fishing in the water. They're pretty big, you know, and they slap and it's loud. Yeah, I mean, they're chopping down trees with their teeth. Yeah, yeah. They're pretty scary. What about...

I feel like a beaver, do you think a beaver doesn't get the respect it probably thinks it deserves? Cause it probably does deserve more respect. Yeah. And a beaver has got a little chip on its shoulder. Yeah. Like...

They're kind of treated as a joke, like cute little... Yeah, yeah. But you're like, he's like, do you know what I'm doing? We're vicious. He's like, I can rescape your whole landscape out here. I'm chewing down an entire tree. Yeah.

Damming up a river. Yeah. They do look, look at it. They look fun though. Yeah. They look fun and they look like, get out of here, beaver. But they're wild. This beaver's like, yeah, dude, I will, I will destroy your world.

What about the, uh, this is little, uh, um, animals that kind of, prairie dogs. Yeah. You got those there? Yeah, yeah. All sorts of little. I saw some of those in North Dakota. Just in a little field out by the hotel. Oh yeah?

Just prairie dog. I had never seen anything like that. They just pop their heads out? Yeah. All over the field. Were you in a neighborhood or on land or? When I was young, we lived in town, but we lived right on the edge of town. So it was like, we lived next to like a cow pasture, but it was in town. And then we moved out of town

when I was like, I don't know, 14 and we just lived out amongst potato fields. I don't know if I know this, but you grew up, you have siblings? Yeah, I got a brother and a sister. Yeah. Are you, where are you at? I'm the oldest. The oldest. Yeah. I'm the oldest too. Yeah.

Is your sister middle or youngest? She's the youngest. Exactly like me. Really? Wow. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Did you grow up in Idaho by chance? Mm-hmm. You did? Wow, that'd be odd.

The Idaho kid. Yeah. We would get out of school. This is kind of interesting. We would get out of school for two weeks to harvest potatoes. They would let school out. Wow. Every year.

So everybody, school shuts down the first two weeks of October. Now would you actually be working those two weeks? Yeah, I would go get a job. I mean, because like what else are you going to do? So that's, yeah, I would go get a job and we would make our like, what else are you gonna do? So that's, yeah, I would go get a job and we would make our, we'd make money. I could make money, you know, I could be like a 14 year old kid and make like 600 bucks.

I bought my first car off my spud money, we called it. That's what we called our spud money. I used to have a joke, I'd say that's now my street name. Spud money. Yeah, that is a good street name. Spud money. Do you hate potatoes Yeah. That is a good street name. Yeah. Spud money? Yeah.

Do you hate potatoes now? No. I don't know. I like... I just wonder if you ate them all the time as a kid. Yeah. But I guess we all eat potatoes all the time. Yeah.

Yeah. Like right after potato harvest, you could just go out to the ends of the rows and there's always potatoes sitting around and, you know, just so, but that's only like short time of the year. Can you just grab them and just eat them like an apple? Do people do that? I guess you could, but I don't know. Salt, a little salt on there. I've eaten a raw potato. Yeah. Really? Wow. I never have eaten a raw potato. Do you think y'all talk about potatoes more than anywhere? Like just in general potatoes,

every day potato gets brought up. Well, kind of because, yeah yeah because you kind of let the whole community lives and dies by the economy of potatoes. Yeah. Is there something about the landscape that makes it best for potatoes? I don't know a lot about the science and stuff behind it, but yeah the soil and the climate that we have. I think you want whole weather for potatoes. Yeah. and the climate that we have. I think you want cold weather for potatoes too. Yeah, yeah. They say Idaho's environment is the perfect combination

for potato cultivation of rich volcanic soil. Oh yeah. Warm days, cool nights. So it's just like, yeah, the perfect place. Like gravity. It's just gravity. It's just perfect. It works out.

It just works out. It's any way different, be a disaster. Well, just like Earth, for that matter. 93 million miles from the sun, but if it was 91 million, it'd be too hot, or 94 million, too cold. But that's a pretty big range. That's a pretty big range.

Yeah. It's a pretty good margin of error, a couple million miles. I think even just a few miles. We can float in between. No, not even a few miles, because it varies, I mean. We can't in between. No, not even a few miles because it varies. I mean, we can't move at all. The orbit around the sun where the distance from the sun varies

a lot because it's not a perfect circle around the sun. That's why our seasons are, yeah, that's why we have cold seasons and hot seasons, our distance from the sun. You know what I mean? Does that make any sense? Yeah, but like Hawaii is just in the, they're killing it. So they're just like perfect. Yeah. Where they're at. Yeah, their position on the earth is. Near the equator.

Like really worked out. See, and that's not, yeah, I mean, I, that's what I'm saying. I think just a few shifts here like that would be devastating. What, what, what kind of shift are you talking about? I don't know, a few hundred miles of the earth away from the sun, I think it could be devastating. Maybe a few hundred, I don't know. If we were in a little wiggle room there.

We do? Yeah, I think so. Cause we're moving a little bit. How much you think? We're typing how much wiggle room we got from the sun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're putting AI through it. So Earth's orbit around the sun has a wiggle room of 5,000, uh, 5 million kilometers, which is of course means nothing to this podcast. It is, uh, yeah. Three, 3.1 million miles. I guess that destroys my theory then. Well, it's kind of exactly your, three, three point one million. I guess that destroys my theory then. Well, it's kind of exactly your well, 93 million. There's yours is dead on. Yeah. But I said exactly right.

I thought it's, I thought if I said it was a million, if it was a million directions, this is why we don't say, you know, with the one time we do stop and give you flowers, Brian, you fight us back. Boom. No, no, no. I was right. I was right. Boom. No, no, no. I wasn't right.

I wasn't right. Take the win, dude. That's, uh, yeah, take that. Sure. I'll boy, John Clark. We try to teach him. John Clark. John Clark.

Yeah. But it's, uh, yeah. That's the most creative fake name I could think of. I like, uh, I like the Reddit question there. It goes, that was a stupid question, but how much wiggle room do we get? Because I bet they say that in the science lab. They go, we got some wiggle room. The Godelite zone. Yeah. When they're looking for these exoplanets that might have signs of life, they're looking for planets in the Godelite zone.

To have that much wiggle room, but then there is such a varying degree of temperature in between, you know, North Idaho and Tennessee. Or even Southern Idaho. Yeah. But then we have 500 million miles of wiggle room. Yeah. It feels like we have tons of wiggle room. And I don't think that has been laid out to me appropriately.

I thought we couldn't move at all. And it turns out we're all willing, we're like a bowling ball going down, we can hit everywhere. Why did you think it's colder in the winter than it is in the summer? I never was asked that question. And so I never had to think about it.

But why would there be so much difference in between Mexico and, you know, Idaho, Alaska, Canada? The shape of the earth contributes to that. That's a few thousand miles, but yet we have 500 million. Or 3.1 million. You keep changing the number. 500 million, I agree with a lot of you. 10 trillion miles.

10 trillion miles. All right, so 3.1 million we have of wiggle room. You would think that just a few. How many miles is America? Yeah, 3,000 something. You got a whole nother Earth. That's what I'm saying. 2800 miles. That's what I'm saying. That's all. I still don't get what you're saying but I'm glad

we're talking about. Look, look, look. You know, right here, we got a little space. What do you mean a little space? Like from the distance from Idaho to Mexico. Right. Yeah. That's you know, a few thousand miles. Yeah. Yeah. But then you can move, we have a variance of the, the earth can move, you know, 3.1 million miles away from the sun. And it not affect us too much.

Oh, it does affect us because the seasons change, right? Cause we're. Are we, so we're always kind of sliding. No, no, I understand the seasons, but I'm saying if, if we're in kind of sliding. No, no. I understand the seasons. Yeah. But I'm saying if we're in winter, our normal winter, but this time we've wiggled about 3.1 million miles away, that's going to be an extreme winter. Yeah. We would wiggle towards the sun. I think we're all, my understanding is the wiggle room means

it's not a perfectly circular orbit around the Sun. It's elliptical. Right. So the wiggle room means the distance between the closest point and the farthest point away from it. Oh see my understanding of wiggle room is like we're on an axis. This is always our spot. It's not going like that. One day, that's not what, that's what wiggle. I thought it'd be like, like you spin a top and right before it slows down, now it starts moving. Wobble like that. Yeah. Yeah.

If you spun a top on this table, it would go, it would be, you know, you got a little- If you go, does the car fit in the parking lot? You're like, yeah, it does. You go, but how much wiggle room do I have? Yeah. Because you got some wiggle room. You get your door open. There's a spot, but do you have some wiggle room?

Because people will go, look, the universe is so perfect. If the sun were an inch, if the Earth were an inch closer to the sun, we'd burn up. That's what I would have said. Well, yeah, yeah. But I mean, we're 3 million miles closer to it in the summer than we are in the winter, according to this. According to my understanding of this, which might be wrong.

I think we also need the moon to be exactly where it's at. The moon helps a lot. The moon's nice to have. I just think, I think our definitions of wiggle room are off. We need the moon to keep the ocean back. You ever see the movie moonfall? You ever see the movie? I think I have. The moon's-

You talked about moonfall. You love moonfall. The moon's falling and so the moonfall. You love moonfall. It's great. The moon's falling and so the oceans are like suddenly like really, it's a good movie. I'll watch that tonight. It's fun. Yeah.

It's the best. Yeah. Yeah. It's great. Ron, are you familiar with Snake River Canyon? Oh, yeah. So 1974, Evil Knievel. Yeah. Is this a big thing? Yeah,

I know about that. He jumped over it. That was like a huge deal. Yeah. So he had a rocket powered motorcycle. Oh, I didn't know that. With a parachute attached. Wait, when was this? 1974. They carried this. Were you there? On Wild World of Sports. You remember watching it? Live. When I was two. Yeah. Uh, Oh, y'all didn't have TV yet. Did they go, did he just announce it on the radio and y'all go, yeah, I bet he made it and he's off and he's on the other side. Thanks for tuning in W S M V.

No, that is not it. That's he had a rocker. Well, this is a guy doing it in his honor. Whoa, he hit the drone. Well, what happened to Ivo Knievel is his parachute opened too soon. He made it across, but then the wind slowly started drifting him back.

Oh no. He crossed back over the river and landed like 10 feet. Oh really? From where he was. I didn't know that. Oh, he may went all the way back. He just slowly started going back.

Oh, wow. So he went over. Yeah. And then made it. The wind took him back. And it really was like 10 feet. I mean, it was something crazy. He said if he landed in the river, he would have died.

Wow. I didn't know that part. So this is a guy in 2016, more than 40 years later, who completed the jump in his honor. So. 54 years old. Why would he have died in the river? Really just a harsh river?

Yeah, I think it's, yeah. Probably very cold. Yeah, I don't know. Very rough and cold. Yeah. It's a big, steep canyon. You know, you don't want to land, if you're in a thing, you don't want to land in water. In a parachute tied up. Yeah, you don't want to land, if you're in a thing, you don't want to land in water. In a parachute, tied up.

Yeah, you get all tangled up. Suit. Maybe he said that just to make it more... Yeah, I bet he did. Yeah. Is that the evil Knievel one? I think that's old evil Knievel footage right there, the old one, and then this guy went back and just did it.

Yeah. You got to get one of the winds right. But he made it. He made it. Yeah. Whoa. All right. Why is that guy hanging out with William Shaffer?

There it is, there's the canyon I don't know yeah, the cow that looks awesome Some dude, so we just like they look very windy. It's very windy where I grew up. Yeah, very windy. I Know it's awesome. That's awesome. Yeah, well Grand Canyon. Yes Snake River goes right through my town too. That's a different part of it. Snakes on through there. Yeah. How big is it? Is it like that big? Yeah. Is that one of the ones you're supposed to acknowledge? That's up to the viewers. Snakes on through there. It's up to you people to decide that. Yeah. Come on, John. John Clark's screaming at his computer right now.

Yeah. I love it. Because we should, they should just mark where Bates does jokes. Mm-hmm. The oldest ski resort in North America, Sun Valley, was in Idaho, is the world's first chairlift was installed there. Wow, that's a cool place.

A lot of Hollywood people used to go there. It changed the skiing business because before you just had to literally hike up. Oh really? Go down. It must have been like an extreme sport before that, right? I guess so. Yeah, I guess probably people just didn't do it.

Yeah. Or you do it once and then you're like kind of. The skiers before were so mad. You gotta think they were like, Oh, now everybody's out here. They got a lift. Well, I bet they did before they might've had like a like a wave runner.

What do they call it? The snow? Snowmobile. Snowmobile. Yeah, maybe that's the wave runner for the snow. Yeah. It's a perfect description of it. Yeah, you got it. You do a lot of snowmobiling. Yeah, we used to snowmobile. Is that pretty fun? Yeah, it's fun. Did you have a snowmobile? Yeah. Oh, wow. We had a day. I have to have one. Well,

we had to have one because we'd get snowed in and then school would be canceled, but my dad would have to have a way to get to work sometimes. Oh, that's awesome. That's awesome. Snowmobiling to work. Outside, like just freezing. Yeah, a lot of snow. I mean, sometimes it's really- You guys have never snowmobiled? I snowmobile a little bit. I don't think I have.

Yeah. Where? Canada. Oh, yeah. But I'm saying like your dad has to make just like no heat. You're just like sitting on a motorcycle and have to go drive to work. Seems cool. It wasn't that far, you know, but it was pretty easy for him. But there was no other way to get there. Snowmobile into work seems cool. I'm impressed by your dad.

You're like, nah, it's pretty easy. He should have walked. Come on. Random story. I was with dusty. I think we're in the UP of Michigan and this guy reached out to dusty and he's like, I want to come talk to you about doing a show at my place. I don't even remember this. He goes, let's go come have lunch at the restaurant and we come there and he's like, dude in the winter it's great we'll do a show here everybody will take their snowmobiles up and we'll do the show. Dusty's like that's great and We'll do a show here. Everybody will take their snowmobiles up and we'll do the show Dusty's like that's great

And then the guy was alright It was good to meet you and then leaves and didn't pay for our lunch. Do you remember this? Oh, yeah, he made it sound like I'm gonna buy you guys lunch and talk about this and just stuck dust I remember that guy not paying for my lunch Seemed like he invited us to the restaurant You know, I don't think you ever did a show there. No. I forgot about that, but I do remember a guy not paying for my lunch. Snowmobiles made me think of that.

Oh, I was going to say. It's a weird tangent. Yeah. Did you have to buy his lunch? I think he maybe. It just was, it wasn't like. And it wasn't great food. It was like his.

Dusty was mad about it. It was almost like his restaurant. Like he really forced us to come there. He was like, I do come here. Come here tomorrow. I'll get you guys some food. Sort of almost like his restaurant. Like he really forced us to come there. He was like, do come here. Come here tomorrow. I'll get you guys some food. Sort of thing like that. Yeah. And we get there dusting us all the Cisco truck in the back. Yeah.

It was all just the same. Everything's the same. All food's the same. Yeah. A couple of companies that started in Idaho. Albertson's grocery store. Oh, I love Albertson's. Keith. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Oh, Keith.

Yeah. Keith Albertson. We kept the knife. Yeah. Oh, I thought it was like a store. Well, it's a brand. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I thought it was a type of knife, but it's a brand. Okay. Yeah. They're in San Diego. No, it says founded in San Diego. Oh, whatever. Their headquarters are in Post Falls, Idaho. Oh, this says founded in 1902 in Mountain Home, Idaho.

Well, it says 1902, 123 years ago in San Diego. All right. So it has nothing to do. Hold on. I like that they put the math in there for us. What does it say up there at the top? He made his first knife in Mountain Home, Idaho. Then after World War II, he moved to San Diego and set up the shop. Okay. So it's a guy that had a knife in Idaho 150 years ago and then he left. That's eventually the.

There's not a lot about Idaho guys. It feels like Idaho's trying to make a claim. I'm gonna put this on Idaho and not on Bryan. This feels like Idaho's making a claim. Well their headquarters is in Post Falls, Idaho. They all make it back. They all come back. So, Hoit Buck. Hoit, that's a good name. That's a great name.

Hoit Buck, that's a great whole name. I mean, Hoit Buck. Hoit Buck, that's a guy, if you're born Hoit Buck, you're gonna do something. You're gonna make a knife. You're better. You're not gonna, yeah, you're gonna be in the mix of- If you don't have a knife, you'll make one.

Yeah. Dude, look at the Chuck Buck. Chuck Buck. Yeah. Al Buck, former CEO, Chuck Buck, former chairman. I'm Hoyt Buck. It's my son Chuck Buck. I mean that family.

Revenue. Yeah. Number 320 employees. Yeah. Paul Boise. Paul Boise. Uh, yeah. And they're, yeah, look at that.

Hmm. Uh, some they're, yeah. Look at that. Some movie shot in Idaho. Bronco Billy. All Clint Eastwood. I don't know what that movie was. I don't know. I've never heard of it. I've never heard of it. Clint Eastwood. Pale Rider, also Clint Eastwood.

Yeah. Oh wow. Whale Rider? Pale Rider. That was a good movie too. Remember Whale Rider? That was Hawaii. Yeah. My Own Private Idaho.

That makes sense. I mean, I feel like you're making these movies up. That's with, oh, River Phoenix. And Keanu Reeves. Yeah. And the movie's called My Private Own Idaho. My Private, My Own Private Idaho. That's what the movie's called?

Yeah. Yeah. Why is it called, what's it about? I've never seen it. You've never heard of it. I've heard of it movie My own private, Idaho Nate. It's loosely based on Shakespeare's Henry the fourth. Yeah I've never Yeah, who knows with that so Napoleon Dynamite basically, yeah

Yeah, who knows with that? So Napoleon Dynamite basically. Yeah, exactly. Some famous people from Idaho. Aaron Paul. Oh, that's a good one. Breaking Bad. Oh, right. Graduated in 1997. Wow. Centennial High School.

Which high school? Centennial High School in Boise. Wow, he really grew up there. Is he, yeah. Where at? Where's that school? How far are you from that school? Centennial? Yeah.

That's in Boise, so. Oh, so he's a big city. Yeah. You're a little more. Yeah. You're the real deal. Yeah. You're a real deal, Idaho.

Ryan Hamilton. He's Hollywood, Idaho. Yeah. Ryan Hamilton's pretty high on the list of famous people from Idaho. All right, yeah, that's good I got the notable residents. I think you made this list yourself. No, look at the Wikipedia for Ashton. Yeah Oh, well, yeah cool for Wow, that's cool stuff. Yeah, that's the dream to be the the notable resident

I'm shocked that Ashton has a Wikipedia. Is that dogsled race a big deal there? Yeah, I mean it was And it still exists, but I remember hearing about it all the time. There was a big, I think it was international or maybe just a big national dog sledding race in the, probably like the forties, fifties. Do you refer to Ashton a lot on your act? Yeah. My first special I talk about it. I mean, I don't mention the town. He still does that material. Yeah. I wonder if, well, who's from, who's made it big from that small of a town? Like, you know,

like you, you would have to be, how you was from, yeah. Tupelo. Oh yeah. You're pretty far behind, right? Sorry, I didn't know Elphus was going to be, I thought we were going to have fun. I was jumping out of the gate. Is Tupelo smaller than Ashton though? No, not even.

Tupelo is a good size. No, that's what I mean then. So I'm saying- Well, see what it is. Yeah, Tupelo's a population of 37,000. 37,000. I mean, 37 times bigger. Now, there's probably 12.

There's probably 12 Elvises there. We're talking about, he had a thousand people. But Ashton is still a thousand people. Ashton's a thousand people. Yeah. So to make it from that small of a town. Yeah. Oprah Winfrey. She's from a town of 6,000 still. Still.

Still like New York compared to where Ryan's from. Taylor Swift, like what? 4,000, again. Where is she from? Pennsylvania. But I mean, what's like West Reading, Pennsylvania, but that's not that's probably Reading, Pennsylvania. What's old Hickory? Because if you count, Oh, now I see where we're going with this. No, no, no, I wasn't following. I wish. 23,000.

So, all right. So, but old Hickory, so we're 23,000. But I wouldn't like old Hickory is a West Reading is like a server. You grew up in like a straight-up There's no suburb. There's no suburb. Yeah, that's what I mean. Like there's no suburb of action. So it's like a thousand a thousand people Carrie Underwood small family farm and That's pretty sure it's all Oklahoma. Yeah, that's small still but we're're still not at a thousand. Still not at a thousand. You might win, Ron. People's high schools are more than a thousand.
