Okay. Hello folks and hey bear. Dusty Slay here. Pumped. Welcome to Nate Land. I'm here with Brian Bates, Joe Gatto, our special guest. I don't know that I should have brought him in so fast, but we didn't really do a lot of prep work on it.

I think you nailed it. Yeah. So, and Nate's here. Nate is here and he'll just be popping in later. Yes. He'll come gliding in. Yeah. Floats in when he can. Yeah. Yeah. It's important. We're pumped to be here. It's a hot episode.

Um, and already it's hot. It's gonna, yeah, I mean, it's gonna be hot. You gotta, you know, speak things into existence. Yeah. It's only gonna get hotter. So I hope everybody that's listening is prepared. Yeah. Stretching out, touch the toes. Yeah. So, um, you know, and I guess, you know, we can just, you know, do you have anything, anybody have anything special they'd like to say? Well, I want to say, I don't know Joe real well,

but we've met a couple of times. For those who don't know Joe, I probably, he probably does, he was with the Practical Jokers. And we were in, I was with Nate in Pittsburgh at a theater, which was amazing. And then he said, let's go over to wherever the penguins play there in the arena and see the practical jokers. And I was blown away how many people were there.

And then you came to Bridgestone Arena here in Nashville. Same thing, just packed out and we hung out afterwards and you guys were amazing. And so, very funny. Okay, good. Okay, I thought you were about to come up with some grievances and you guys were amazing and so no good very funny okay good okay you're about to come up with some grievances and you're like but I need to talk to you about I have a short list yeah you know people probably say this I would imagine that they say this because I never was into prank stuff I never was into yeah so when people would say the impractical jokers or I would see it on TV

I would be like now I'm not into that sort of stuff and when I had my first My first kid we were in the hospital. It was on TV I was on and I just started watching it and I was like other shows great Yeah, why why have I been so against it? Yeah, and then I just watched so much of it Yeah, that was a big thing. We were actually, it's not a prank show. We never really treated it as such. And that was just the easiest way to bill it.

And we were like, guys, people, we're losing the audience here. They don't know what it wants to watch a prank show with middle-aged guys running around a supermarket causing a ruckus, you know? So it was like, so we actively like in the first two seasons, like in interviews would not refer to a prank show. When people did, we would like correct them like, well, it's a comedy show where we mess with each other kind of thing. And there was a lot of times in the field when we were doing something, if somebody's

getting mad, like a prank show, like somebody's getting mad, we're like, we're doing this wrong. Like we'd stop, we'd take it back inside. We'd be like, all right, how do we change this? Because that was really important to us that it was, we were always the butt of the joke. We were always, you know, the thing. So it was in, because I'm not a big prank show kind of guy either, but I do like enjoy, like embarrassment comedy was the best way for me to describe it. Cause that's always how I'd make those guys laugh my whole life anyway, I would just be stupid.

They would laugh at, you know, we get in an elevator, you know, or a subway and they'd be scared for their life. Cause I know I was going to do something stupid and there's no place for them to run, you know? So that was like just the kind of thing. We just took that and ran with it. But the easiest way to explain it was, oh, they put an earpiece in and they mess with people.

But if you look at over, I did like 300 episodes over a decade, if you look at each of them, that was like one challenge per episode, was that with the earpiece. And there was all these other games and things we did. So it was just really hard to explain, I think. It's really well done. It really is.

Because even people go, I don't even have an example, but people go, they'll go, hey, John's about to come in here. And when he comes in here, we're going to tell him that we ate all the food. So just play along with it. It's better than that if you've never seen it. No, no, no. I'm not saying he's in real life for a prank.

I'm saying in real life when people do this, they'll go, oh, tell him we ate all the food. Okay. Play along. I would rather leave the room. Yeah. I don't want to be a part of it. I don't want to lie to John. Yeah.

I don't want to ruin your trick, but I don't want to go along. And you're getting roped in against your will. Like you can just announce that to the group. Yeah. Maybe I don't even know John that well. And now John's like, Oh, you're the kind of guy that will lie to me. Yes. You're a liar.

When, when Jimmy Kimmel would do the thing where it's like, like, hey, tell your kids that you ate all their Halloween candy. Worst. I'm like, no. First off, we're not going to be collecting any Halloween candy. But I'm definitely not going to be like, hey, I ate it all. Look at me. I want to make you cry.

It's like, make your kids hate you, then just hug them and say, gotcha. Like, that's so soft. You're on TV. You're the worst. Yeah, I can't deal with it. Most of that stuff with like, you watch it. You're on a show and watch it.

If you're cringing for somebody, like you feel bad, like this is a human experience, which is it. But like early on, we realized that people were like so game for it and we're just itching for like fun and interaction, the social experiments stuff that we couldn't believe, like people would buy into it and do so much. And that became like the thing. It was like, Oh, what can we get people to do? Yeah. Which was like a really fun piece of it. So, yeah.

Yeah. I think the key is the fact that you guys are the butt of the joke. And you're all friends. So it we just played along. We came along with it. Yeah, that was it was a friendship on display. Yeah. And you've been gone. How many seasons? Three. I bet everyone still says, I love you. Yeah, for sure. I mean, you know, I mean you on Parking Jokers. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I was 10 years.

So I mean, that's how most people know me. But it's good. It was a show. I'm very proud of the legacy I did on there and everything. It's like people love it and people have grown up with it. And it was a family show. But to your point, when you said you were in the hospital, like, True TV played mainly in hospitals and prisons.

So people would find it's not a good part of their life, you know? And I had gotten, I thought the story had gotten a flat in LA. It was like one in the morning. I'm on the side of the 405. My rental car gets a flat. I call, I'm sitting there waiting. This guy shows up, gets out this burly dude, bald head jacked. And he comes over and he goes, no way Joe.

And I'm like, maybe. And he was like, yeah. He was like, I was just in prison. I got out, I was in five years. I got out two months ago. Can I get a hug? And I'm like, maybe. Yeah, he's like, I was just in prison. I got out, I was in five years, I got out two months ago. Can I get a hug? And I'm like, yeah, man. So it was like, just so weird like to see and then, you know, then you see like a grandma in a supermarket, he's like, oh, you're so funny, you know, so it just really touched everybody in a different way.

Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah, that's awesome. Well, cool. You're, you're in town because you had some shows this weekend in the area. Yeah, yeah, I started my new, my stand-up tour. Let's Get Into It. So I was in Knoxville this weekend. So pop by here in Nashville. Oh, that's the name of your tour. I thought you were like, let's get into it guys. We got something to talk about. No, yeah, the Let's Get Into It tour just launched. So it's been fun. It's,

you know, started in September and it's been going great. Yeah, that's awesome. I was in Friday. I was in Birmingham, Alabama at the Stardome Comedy Club. First time to headline there. And great. Yeah, awesome. Congrats. Hot show. Yeah.

A lot of Nate Landfolks came out. My friend Vince Fabra, you let him do some time on the show. Vince Fabra was on the show. Chris Ivy was on the show. It was a great show. We had a couple of hecklers. Not really hecklers, just people who think they're excited.

They're excited. Part of the party. part of the party. But it made it fun. Were they drinking? One of them was, for sure. It is better if they're drinking, because it's like, if you're not drinking, it's like, you just, this is what you do,

you just yell out, you're sober, and you yell out like this. Yeah, you need an excuse to get behind. Yeah. For sure. Yeah, that's the thing about the comedy club, but now I think a lot with the culture, with the crowd work culture and all that stuff, people just want to be part of a sure. Yeah, that's the that's the thing about the comedy club. But now I think a lot with the culture, with the crowd, work culture and all that stuff. People just want to be part of a clip. Yeah. They think they're helping you.

They're like, oh, I gave this guy a clip. He's got it. Yeah. Well, they're right. Thanks for the help, everybody. You'll be seeing it soon. Yeah. Take a look. Where were you, Dusty? I was in Red Bank, New Jersey. Oh, I was at a theater.

It's something else now, Hackensack Meridian Health Center, but it used to be called the Basie. The Count Basie, yes, fantastic. And they talked about the history of that place and all the people that have performed there. Really great. Had a super hot show. Yeah, great there, yeah.

And then I did the Miller Theatre in Philadelphia It was also great. Yeah, I never been to Philly never performed in Philly. Well, they're in good mood right now because of the Great. Yeah, I mean, I guess it was just a plane crash there and no one even talked about that. Yeah, we're in the Super Bowl It's great I went to a really wild cigar bar there was I had the option of a place called the Ashton Cigar Bar, which is they, they have coined themselves the world's finest cigar bar. Wow. That's a bold statement. But I walked in there and maybe it said America's, but either way, still pretty bold. Still bold. And they, I was just like, this seems like too much for me.

So I went to another one, which was, I liked better, but a much downgraded, they had hookah, you know, but you could smoke cigars in there, it was BYOB for drinks. Oh, so you could say BYOC. Yeah, they had a hot plate where they were sitting the, whatever the blocks are that go in hookah. And that's how they were heating it up, just putting it on these little eyes. And it was a pretty wild place.

Like a hot, like an apartment hot plate. Yes. Oh wow. That's crazy. And it was overstimulating, bad ventilation. I thought I was going to have a heart attack in my hotel later that night, but I had a good time. There used to be in Manhattan, the Campbell apartment, did you ever hear of that place?

It's in Grand Central Station. I don't know, I don't think it's there anymore, but it was like somebody's of importance, a Vanderbilt or somebody's like gentleman's like cigar room where he used to bring and they'd converted it to like a bar. I don't smoke cigars, I'd never been there, but I saw it and I was like, oh wow, this is unreal. Like it was like kind of like speakeasy-ish cause you had to know where it was, but it was really cool. That's the only, I think cigar bar I was ever in.

And they didn't even tout to be America's greatest cigar bar. So, you know. I say finest. So maybe there's a difference between finest and greatest. Like world's finest chocolate. It's not the world's greatest chocolate, right? It's different, it's definitely sure.

But it was, you know, but this was a nice spot. Personally, I'd take a camping chair in a parking lot out in the free flowing air. I would say ventilation's gotta be really important in that kind of spot. I like outdoor cigars. Yeah, you got an indoor cigar. Fire pit cigar people enjoy.

People love it. Because what I like about cigars is you don't inhale. Yeah. But when you're in a room with bad ventilation, you are inhaling. You have no choice. Yes. And I hate it. But I had a lot of fun.

Great. It was a good time. I'm glad the people in Jersey were good. My buddy Derek Humphrey. Yeah. They, Jersey and Philly were, were, uh, very nice. Yeah. I, I kind of was afraid to go there.

I just had seen videos of people yelling at people. Philly, Maine. Bill Burr. Yeah. New Jersey, you know, that's the garden state. There's a lot of gardening there that people don't realize. I follow a lot of gardening channels from New Jersey. That always blew my mind. It's called the garden state. I mean, it's known for its Jersey shore beaches. Like all through on mind is called the garden state. I mean, it's known for Jersey shore beaches like all through on our side is the garden state. There's a lot of gardening going on in Jersey.

For sure. James Pregioni. I talk about him every time. But it's a good YouTube channel. Oh, really? Yeah. I have to look it up. I didn't know that.

Yeah. I came from Staten Island. So Staten Island was in between. It's like the Jersey connector between Brooklyn and New Jersey. So it's like it's one of the boroughs. I'm thinking this gardening state stuff is happening. Is that what Staten Island is? Staten Island.

Joe, is that what you're doing explaining Staten Island to us? South Jersey. I was cheating enough to be like, it's Jersey adjacent. And most people either when they get married and their kids, they make a left or a right, they go to Jersey or they go to Long Island. And that's the two thing. And I have two sisters, one made the left, one made the right.

So one's in Jersey and one's in, but that's like the known thing about Staten Island. Who's doing better, would you say? I don't wanna get into it. Yeah. They listen. Yeah. You sign up for something, forget about it,

Where were you this weekend?

Sorry, I'm back. Yeah, you guys get started without me.com slash Nate. Where were you this weekend? Sorry, I'm back. Yeah. You guys get started without me. Welcome Joe. Thank you. Welcome to have you buddy. Thank you. I was in Vegas.

I had, we had shows in Vegas. The shows were great. It was fun. We had some buddies from high school come. And so they were hanging out with us this weekend. And they, one guy, I had assigned something, someone brought an Applebee's menu because I used to work at Applebee's and wanted me to sign it.

And so then my buddy, he's like, he brings it backstage. So they gave it to him for me to come sign. And it was just weird, because he's like, yeah, yeah, I'll go talk to him. It's like something where I feel like I was happy to sign it, but it was, you know, your buddy doesn't know. How did they make the connection to him? Yeah. He just, they asked a guy on stage because my buddies were just, when I got done with

the show, they go kind of stand right there. And then some people come up to the stage and they're where I mean, we just joking like, is my buddy Jeff Guzard, like he's Jeff's like, yeah, I want to, he's right back here. Come on back. I. Like he's Jeff's like, y'all wanna, he's right back here if y'all wanna come on back. Like, and- I know where he's staying. Yeah. He goes, he's gonna be hanging out.

Y'all wanna meet him? Like y'all wanna hang out? Like, where you like, he's gonna start a whole thing. Yeah. But I signed it. It was very cool that he did that. And then I had my, I have a teleprompter on there that just got my set.

It's got my bullet points of my set list. And cause as we're building the new hour, I just don't want to forget little things. And so you just, I just got to kind of a guideline so I can, if I feel like I want to get off topic on something I can, and I'm able to get back where you don't just get lost. So then my prompter went out too.

And it's out, the teleprompter is not the right word. It's a screen that just has the bullet points. So you started listing the specials at Applebee's? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I just go, yeah, that's all I got is that. So then I, it went off and then I was like, you know, you gotta let people know on side stage, like, hey, can you get this teleprompter?

And then, but this is my other buddy, Jeremy. It was my buddy, Mac, Jeremy, Tommy, and Jeff. And then my buddy Jeremy is just the one standing there. And I look at him, I go, hey, this prompter's off. He goes, they're on it. No show business experience. No, you know, he just like sitting there. I'm just throwing the weight of the whole show.

On him. On my buddy. Did he come up big for you? Did they reconnected? They got it reconnected. He's a hero. He gave me a chance. What was it like in between while I was down?

Were you like a president by one around up there? Were you able to be on? You kind of get lost for a second. Not cause I, it's just like, oh, something's gone. So then once it goes, you then think, all right, well now I got to make sure I remember where everything, everything goes. And it's one, when you, you know, when you've been doing this hour for a long time, uh, you know, for months and a year, like, you're like, all right, I can do it.

I'll be all right. But when you're kind of in this phase of like, I'm still moving some stuff around and I got something, you know, I got this up top and I wanted to start with this. And then it goes into this and you know, you just are afraid you can miss a whole section, you know, then an hour can become 30 minutes if you're like, oh, I forgot about, you know, there's times you go up and you're like, I forgot a whole chunk that I wanted to get into. And so, I mean, it would have been all right. I'd have figured it out. But it was, you just, for a moment there,

you're like, uh, yeah. And then, you know, you kind of tell them the story. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I had a similar situation with, you know, I don't have a teleprompter. I had a note card and I keep a towel on stage. So I was just starting this tour, it was not too long ago, and I had like wiped my face and I threw the towel over the note card and like I forgot, and then I was like, oh, did I forget to put the note card out? But it was just under the towel the whole time.

But it kind of forced you to try to remember it. I think I like that because when you dig in, like you say stuff that you wouldn't have said anyway. So that's kind of. You need to, it made me think like this week and I'm going to go to Omaha. And I think I'll still, I think I'll have my notes there. I mean, I need to do it in a way where I don't have

to worry about the time. The one, that's the only thing that makes you nervous is when you got a, for me is like, well I need to do an hour. And cause it's like if I've run the risk of like, I could go up and do it and see what I do, but it's like, I don't know if that's going to be 35 minutes. And then I'm like, oh, well, you know, now. What do you guys want to talk about? Yeah, I have 25 minutes left.

What else? Yeah. I might have told this story before, but in college when I did, I would do broadcast journalism and the very first time I ever did sports live on the air of my college station, right when it's time for me to start, teleprompter goes out and I was, it was my first time. I was too nervous to even know what to do. And I just faked it the whole way through.

I just went off memory and made up some stuff and faked it the whole thing. Oh, really? About games? Yeah. You remember the scores of the games like from that day? Like, do I remember it now? No, but like then. Yeah.

I mean, you're like Vandy B Kentucky, 24 to 15. Ish. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, I'm pretty sure this isandy B Kentucky 24 to 15 ish. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, I'm pretty sure this is how it turned out. Last I looked. If I can remember correctly. I like that.

That feels very in the moment. And you're like, I'm handling this. I don't think I've ever, I don't think I've ever had a teleprompter situation that worked out. I could name like, I'm sure I could name like three or four times where the teleprompter just went out and it's like, and they're like, just go with it. Just go with what? There's nothing to go with. It's the relying on it. That's the hard part because you're like, you shouldn't rely on

it. I mean, a teleprompter is different when you're reading every single thing from it. single thing from it. You know, like bullet points are essentially you're just referencing. But like a teleprompter, like if you do an award show and they have the teleprompter, but it's hard because you want to go, yeah, you don't, I don't have time to go write a whole thing. Like you know, I did for the parrot, for the golden globes, I wrote that. And I think I had that in the teleprompter, but I wrote it. But I did put it in the teleprompter just because it was like,

I'm not gonna get to practice it. I'm not gonna get to go say it somewhere else. I'll just write it how I'll say it. And then I can just go off. So at least you wrote it right. Yeah, you had that, because you do have that fear of like, if you blank, where you're just, and then you're like, I'll be able to get, if I blank, I can get out of the joke, but I'll be disappointed that I didn't do the things I wanted to do.

So yeah, I typed all mine in for that, but then all the other act, the actors and stuff, I mean, they're not writing it, you know. They get all, yeah. For SNL, I just have bullet points, just what the set that I want to do. They do cue cards there too though, right? Yeah, yeah, you could have it written out. I don't have it written out. But cue cards for the sketches.

For the sketches, you're reading the lines for the sketches, but from the standup is there's just one card that I just put my bullet points, it's like Door Dash, you know, whatever. Right. Because if you were reading it too, it's not, it's different. Like your delivery is going to be, oh, he's reading that. I read it for the Christmas special. That one I typed out and read. So, and it was like,

I was kind of, it is a little freeing to have it to be like, all right, because you're writing it. It's something that I'm creating. Yeah. But you're like, again, it's a situation that you see that with TV, someone who's been on TV the most of anybody, is you're like, you got to come up with all this stuff, but y'all would never have any plans. No. Well, the presentation stuff we did. So when we had them, but that was, you're basically explaining your stuff out of it. The only times we had like, there were a couple like punishments where we wrote the speech for each other. Yeah.

And you wanted to deliver it real. Yeah. Because once the room, you know, realizes something's up, it's over. So we would be reading, we had a couple where they were prompter and we would like, try our best to stick to it. We did one with to we did one with we did one with Mer got punished and he had it was at the like Chamber of Commerce in New Jersey and he was like, you know an announcing this like new

Key for the city or whatever to somebody and he had to like go on script But then we had like a bunch of cards that were written out He didn't know what those said and we said card and you'd have to flip it and put it in there But then sell it that it was part of it and that was like one of my most fun and Murray's really good at that but he sold it so well because he was on script and we wrote a real thing so it was really really good that way. I like that that's fun. There's just a touch of just a touch of the weird and you just got the right amount of did he just like say that so but if he didn't sell what you're reading but for the most part

we were just going with what we had. Yeah, that's exhausting. It's exhausting to come up with. That's the hard part with creative, I think, is the little stuff that doesn't matter. That's the exhausting part. The, you know, like after this, we'll be here with Baba,

you know, something like you're just, cause your brain's not there. And your, you know, something like you're just, because your brain's not there and your, you know, bigger picture stuff is fun. But then the little stuff is just like, ugh. The worst, the promos, we had to do promo days. Oh yeah. It's so exhausting just to like all this. Yeah, exactly. And everybody's coming up to you with their ideas and they're like, but then eventually

they would just be like, so you guys just, you'll just talk about this and do it like in a funny way. And it was like, it was like one bullet point. It was like, so you guys just, you'll just talk about this and do it like in a funny way. And it was like, it was like one bullet point. It was like, this is supposed to be a 30 minute commercial. Like what are you talking about? So. That's exactly what I mean. So that's what I mean. The exact is a promo thing. Yeah. Promo. Where you want to go, I've had to do a lot of promo stuff. And then it's, when you go do it, you're like, just, just write what you want me to say. Cause they do, they go, no, you just come up with it. You're like, man, you know how mentally tough it is

to come up with the thing that I'm promoting, like the actual show to then just, you know, the little. It just comes out all the time. Yeah, it's on. Just everything, your mouth opens and comedy comes out. Just talk, you're funny, yeah. All the time. That's a whole nother art form in itself.

Advertising is a whole- I think that it's the time. You have 30 seconds. Yeah. So we did a Mountain Dew commercial once for them. And I don't know if I'm allowed to say that on here, but- I doubt it. We did a soda commercial.

No, we had Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew was a sponsor. So we did a soda commercial. Yeah. Now you can say it. Okay, so we did a commercial. Melo-Yo. We did a commercial.

You can say Melo-Yo. Who do you want? I did Melo-Yo. Okay. I like the big, each time it's more vague. It was sort of an advertisement. Big red. Yes. I'll run. I'll just run here and just put in what you need. We did a Coca-Cola commercial. We did a Sprite commercial. So we did this commercial and literally like it was, it was supposed to be 30 seconds and it said, literally said I remember it like we were laughing it said Sal says something funny

Joe makes a face like that was like that was the whole thing and it was like so Joe strikes a pose a funny pose Like that's what it said and I was like, oh this is you get paid to they were paying like money to make this And it was like go just go, you know So it was weird that they were paying the advertising company to tell me to use my body fun It was like that you didn't do anything. You know, it was weird that they were paying the advertising company to tell me to use my body fun. It was like that You didn't do anything. Yeah, it's weird With commercial at mines thing actually teased it right? It's announced Isn't the my commercial announced or it's already out. Yeah teased but I can say yeah, so I have a Super Bowl commercial With door dash. I think it just came out the tease came out today

with DoorDash. I think it just came out, the tease came out today. But it was, it is when you, when them doing, you're talking to the director with a commercial and all this stuff, because they, you got to get all the stuff that they want said in there, but then it's like they do want it a little more fun. And so I had Joey McCollough, he really was with them with writing it. Cause it was, you know, you get your little, you can have little jokes in and little stuff like that, but I mean, you just have 30 seconds and it's the most stuff that they want in there. And then you got to make it like fun too.

So it's, it's a unique, it is an art form. It's not an easy, in theory they think, yeah, just go do whatever you wanna go do. And you're like, yo man, you gotta give me, cause if I do that, it's not gonna be what you want. I have so much respect for commercial directors cause they literally have a ticking clock. It's a shot clock.

And they have to like make this thing and check all these boxes. And you think one second, you think, well, it's just one little extra second. You go, well, that matters. A hundred percent. That matters. It's 30% of the commercial.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a big part of the commercial. That's crazy. Yeah. It was, I was excited. I don't really, I wasn't really doing, I haven't done a commercial. I've been asked, but I haven't. And, but this one was like DoorDash, saw my SNL, talk about DoorDash and, and being the Super Bowl, it was like a very fun, it was like, all right,

yeah, this is like a cool kind of organic way that it happened. Yeah. So that's kind of, that's a really cool Super Bowl commercial. Yeah. It's super fun, man. And we did it, uh, in one day, 12 hours. Uh, and it got moved around a lot because of the fires. We were supposed to shoot it one day, 12 hours, and it got moved around a lot, because of the fires, we were supposed to shoot it

one day, then it got moved, the fires and blah, blah, because it was all in California. But it came out great and super fun, and yeah, the teaser just got put out. I think people would have seen the commercial before the Super Bowl. I wish they would have did that. I know, but it's like, that's the way it is now. I know, but they, it's like, that's the way it's, that's the way it is.

It's gone. I know. I know you don't, I mean, you used to watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. I remember you wouldn't leave the TV the whole time. And now it's like, you go see top 10. I remember the first time I saw a top 10 Super Bowl commercials, like the game before the two days before. And I was like, what? You're spoiler alert. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Why would they do that? I don't know. You're a spoiler alert. Right. Like it's the worst.

Yeah. Why would they do that? I don't know. Uh, it's, I guess they just figure, you know, I don't know. People are going to, cause you're seeing a lot of teasers right now. Right. So you're seeing Matthew McConaughey he's got a Uber eats teaser. Like you're seeing Shane and Post Malone.

Kind of competing with you, right? Uber eats, DoorDash. I'm the DoorDash guy. He's the reason we go DoorDash. Yeah. And I use DoorDash, which has helped because I naturally, I don't think, you think Matthew McConaughey's using Uber Eats?

No, no. You're a guy that uses. But the boy right here is using DoorDash. Trying to stop me from using DoorDash. That's right. Yeah, yeah, we're selling, yeah. We're talking about the much money you save using DashPass is the commercial.

I already got Dashpass. I already had it. You're speaking from a place of truth. Yeah. Yeah. That's the difference between me and Matthew McConaughey who reads. Go stand next to him. Matthew McConaughey is like, what is this?

Yeah. I ordered two Blizzards last night for myself on DoorDash, which I'm starting today is my, I'm starting where we're getting into the diet because it's about diet. So it was over. So last night it was over. It's over now. Yeah. But last night I got it, got it in.

Nice. You know, two blizzards for yourself. I get one small and one medium, an M and M medium one. You don't want to commit to a large gift. And one, you gotta, I love it. Maybe I want to. I like to give myself Oreo. Oreo is the way to go. I would go large Oreo. Yeah. Forget the M and M. Well, M and M is my favorite. M and M is my favorite.

M and M is the only one that really put up a fight when it came to Oreo to for large Oreo. Yeah. Forget the M&M. That's what I like. M&M's my favorite. M&M's the only one that really put up a fight when it came to Oreo, the mixture in a drink. Like you know, when you shake or whatever. I guess I've never had an M&M. It's unbelievable. Yeah, Sonic Blast or any of that stuff. Go home on the way home now, tonight. Treat yourself.

Treat one and it's the best. Dusty just had a donut. Half a donut. I brought donuts. Oh, you did? I apologize. Yeah, but I don't like a donut. Half a donut. I brought donuts. Oh, you did? I apologize. Yeah, but I don't like to come empty handed. So I brought donuts for everybody.

I like that. I had a half. Yeah, that's good. We'll kind of come to it. Cause I'll do it in my 75 week. I'm just kidding. Yeah. Convertible.

Here's just the opposite. I'm complete. 75 easy. Easy, yeah. All right, let's start with some of your guys' comments. Becky Brandt, as a fellow Idahoan, Idahoan? Idahoan?

Idahoan, as a fellow Idahoan. I can verify that everything Ryan said about Idaho is accurate. It was 25 degrees the other day, and I was pretty excited about how warm it was. They said Idaho gets down to minus 20. Well, I think he said minus 40. Minus 40. Minus 40? 40. Yeah, extreme. Frozen potatoes all up in there. That's a lot. That's a lot. Yeah. People get so upset if they live in a cold state when we talk

about how that's extreme. Oh yeah. Like people are like, you think that's cold? Yeah. Minus 40. Minus 40 is very cold. You can't really come against that though, right? Minus 40 think that's cold? It was minus 57. Minus 40 is very cold. You can't really come against that though, right? Minus 40, that's a lot of minuses. Every time we mention it, someone's like, you think that's minus 485 in outer space? You think that's cold? Minus Kelvin here.

Come up in North Dakota. Yeah. Yeah, I don't, there's nothing worse than a cold wind hitting you in the face. Like walking into the wind. Oh, it's the cold wind, you know, not like a breeze. Yeah. When I lived in Chicago, it was tough. Cause it was like, you just walk to the bus and then, I mean, it just gets, cause wind just gets everywhere. And you're just like, oh yeah. You got to layer up. You got to tuck in. You can't protect your face very well, no matter. You got the ears and. You got to tuck in. You can't protect your face very well, though. No matter.

You got the ears and everything, but this is out there. I think that's what the scarf is, right? To keep it from going down. Yeah. But then you're right. You wear glasses. Yeah. This is in trouble.

It's in big trouble. And I got a big situation. Yeah. I've had my mustache freeze and I didn't even like know it was wet. You know what I mean? Yeah. There's like icicles on it. Yeah.

Like, why is it wet? But that's the worst. Snotcicles. And it wasn't snot. It was wet. You know what I mean? There's like icicles on it. Like why is it wet? But that's the worst. Snotsicles. It wasn't snot, it was just. Moisture. Yeah. That's the worst part about the city though. What snot is.

That's true. Well snot's got some other stuff going on. You can see. But like the worst part about like the city's like Chicago, New York city, you could be walking down the street and you're fine, then you turn the corner. Oh yeah. And boom, you get hit on the avenue.

Like you blow away. Oh yeah. Oh, it's brutal. Yeah. Yeah. New York is a lot of that where you're like, it's not that bad. And you turn, it could be a nice day even. Yeah. Where you could be, it feels like there could be 30 degree difference. Yeah. Just sun. The sun's hitting the sidewalk. And then you're like, what a day. It's a ghost. It's I am legend all the time. Yeah. Yeah. Nicholas Windcoop. Windcoop. You think that's a real last name? No, it's alias. Yeah, it's probably on the run. Oh, yeah. Idahoans are always like Nate's Nashville

skits saying, tell your friend Idaho stinks. You don't want to live here. So we can try to slow down the crazy growth and keep it all to ourselves. But seriously, Idaho is really terrible, too many bears, you don't wanna move here. It's all already ruined. The corporations have found everything. They're gonna move in, they're gonna buy up land, they're building rental houses, they're building corporate restaurants

to look like mom and pops. They're coming, they're gonna ruin it, they're gonna shut your small business down, they're to ruin it all. I don't want to depress you. I'm feeling a lot of optimism coming out of the dusty corner. We're having a good time. The big money corporations know about it all now. And it's only a matter of time before they ruin everything for us. Yeah. There's going to be nothing that's got any just personnel.

No, it's going to be manufactured soul, you know? Just saying it's coming. I just want Nicholas Winkoop to know that this is. When he rests his head on his pillow. Mr. Winkoop, I want you to know. It's over. It's over. Like I feel this guy's pain, you know?

I feel like, you know, I moved to Nashville kind of when it was starting to happen, but I feel like I've seen it happen pretty hard to Nashville. Charleston, it happened pretty hard. Oh, for sure. Opelika is still pretty safe. Opelika, we still got a, we still got a, you know, small town vibe going.

Opelika, Alabama. What was that? Are you okay? Yeah. God bless you. Everything's okay. Everything's okay. Yeah.

Everything's fine. Matt Nelson, while living in Rigby, Idaho, not far from Ryan Hamilton's town of Ashton, Philo Farnsworth invented the television. Rigby Idaho now calls itself the birthplace of television. Guy like that. You know why? Because, I mean, he was just, what does he have to do? That's how bored he was. So cold.

I got to do something. He goes, Oh, I cannot read anymore. And so he invented the television. Yeah. It's not bad. It's pretty crazy. Did you ever see that, uh, that video about the, um, the first time it switched to color? It was making its rounds on like, it was so cool.

Like it was, they said, and now we're going to, for the first time to, you know, I forgot what year it was, it was a long time ago. And then the guy turns to a different camera and he's in color. It was like so weird. I can't even imagine to see that. So the last time it was in black and white, it was cool. That again, that's how new television is. That was not like our parents were. Yeah. I mean, you were probably born Joe. Probably close to it. Now you were probably born Joe. Probably close to it. No, I'm older than Joe.

What year? Are you, no, are you? Yeah. Oh, all right. Yeah, late forties. You can still pick on me. No, I'm early fifties. Oh, you're early fifties?

Yeah. I'm late forties. I look like early sixties. Joe's vibe is that he remembers the day it turned to color. Let me tell you something, kids, okay? And corporate America is going to move in there and get off my lawn. Well, it's coming. I think it was like HDTV.

You had to have the TV to be able to experience it. It wasn't just like your TV at home all of a sudden. Unless you own a TV that could do color. Yeah. So I don't know. I remember we started in season one, we were filming in standard definition, and then season two we went to high definition,

and we saw what we looked like in high definition, and I was like, whoa, we need to do something, I gotta brush my hair or something, what's going on? Like we saw ourselves, or you could see like our outfits versus then when we started to try in season two, because we went to high definition. High def changed some stuff, for sure. Definitely, for sure.

Yeah. Well, I bet plastic surgery went up with people on TV. Yeah. Because it was, yeah, weirdly enough, it's like you could hide. Get away, yeah. I think it's, I almost think it's like too much though. Like now that I'm watching it, where you could be,

because I think people do make movies still now where you're like, it doesn't, this movie doesn't need to be the most, you know, you need. 15K. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A Marvel movie or if you're going to that one movie, you know, with James Cameron, whatever that. Avatar. Avatar.

You're like, that can be fine. But like a comedy, it's, I don't want to see. I watch a lot of seventies movies and it's like, it's, I don't want to see. I watch a lot of seventies movies and it's like, that's, I think that's the golden age of movies. It's a great look. Content or look. Look. Look, content and look too. It's like, it just looks good. It's easier to watch.

Yeah. Yeah. I was watching the, some of the golf yesterday, the AT&T or McRoy one, but it was like, I mean, they have the shots of him and it looks like that filter that's like the portfolio or something or whatever it is. Oh yeah, portrait. Portrait mode. Yeah. It looks like that.

Yeah. And you're like, I mean, it's like seeing someone's face that's lit perfectly and all this stuff. And you see every inch of their skin. Yeah, like everything. And then they zoom out and they're 400 yards from the guy. It's like, how are you even doing this? Using the Hubble telescope, like it's insane. Yeah, it's kind of a weird, you know,

and you're like, I don't. I bet you're right about plastic surgery because people, like you say, they see themselves and now they're like, whoa, I gotta get this done, this done. I think news anchors probably for big because every day they just see themselves doing it. That's the thing with television.

Like when you guys were on, you're on every day, all day, you're on right now. Yeah, yeah, I'm still on. I haven't been on in four years, three years, yeah. But it's funny because you did it over, like I started, I the night. I haven't been on it in four years. Yeah. But it's funny because we did it over, like I started, I was 34, I think I was. Yeah. Or 36 or whatever I was. And then, you know, for like nine years, you just watch everything happen to yourself. I'm just like, you go and listen. I always bring up when y'all came down to the Nashville C Festival and we all hung out and like, because you guys were our kind

of first like crazy fame friend where we got to see like someone get like, whereas like, oh dude, you can't like go out somewhere. You know, you had like Amy Schumer, you had people get famous, but it was like you guys, we were all friends. Like it was, so being around you guys were our first like, we're like, whoa, dude, like y'all couldn't go anywhere. When we walked around like Nashville, it was like, I mean, it might as well be, Tom Cruise could be walking around. It was, it's a zoo. And remember that guy called? Remember? Yeah, we were up on the rooftop. Yeah. I had a guy, I thought I was texting you or something, but I texted someone,

that was for the UFC fighters. And I was texting someone or something, but I texted someone. That was for the UFC fighters. We were going, and I was texting someone and I texted the wrong number. And then the guy was like, is this the comedian Nate Barghetti? And then so Joe's there and he loves it. Joe's like, that's FaceTime. So then he FaceTimes. And so the guy's like, it's me. And then it's like Joe, who's not expecting it to be.

And then Joe was like, all right, delete this number, never call it again. And he hung up. And he never called you again. He was man of his word. He's a good dude. He was a good dude. I think he said, he said, can I take a screenshot of this?

I said, if you do me a favor. I said, you be a man of your word here, and you're gonna delete this number, never bother me again. He said, okay. And he took a screenshot. That's awesome. And he's out of your life.

Yeah, he's out of, yeah. He got it. He's awesome. Yeah, he's out of, yeah. Yeah, he got it. He was great. Yeah. I am always in a complicated relationship with coffee.

Andrew Ferf... Ferfie. That's not real. These are all Idaho people. Idaho people, their last names are different. Yep, for sure.

You can't have an F and a pH in one name. Our topic last week, by the way, was Idaho. We're just now coming up with... I'm like, you guys really like Idaho. Are this only ears in Idaho? Do you regret coming on? It's the opposite of a practical joker. We're only on in Idaho.

We're only on in Idaho. You're trying to move some tickets in Idaho, but we got you. I just played that. I missed out. You missed out. You should have came here. This is, we're full Idaho. Could you guys air this in November?

We had Ryan Hamilton on and that's the, they were like the biggest star we've ever had in our lives. They go, that's, that's our top dog. Andrew Furphy as an Idahoan in, I knew there was something I was going to be upset with. I did not expect that it would be missing one of the most interesting stories of skydiving beavers. So I looked this up. Apparently beavers were doing some serious damage. So they relocated 76 of them by putting

them in a plane and parachuting them down to a different part of Idaho. 75 out of 76 survived. Really? One got out of his cage in the air and failed with death. Wait, I'm sorry. They thought the best way to relocate beavers was to strap them to a parachute, they wanted to just drive them. That seems very extreme. Yeah. And how did they get out of the box? I cannot find that. I think that area is too hard to travel through,

is what Ryan was talking about. And we talked about beavers. I don't know how we miss skydiving beavers. It says 1948, so maybe they we missed skydiving beavers, but. Yeah. It says 1948, so maybe they didn't have the technology, but they had the technology to do a time released airdrop. It seems like very easier to be like, get in a Jeep, just drive. I mean, that's like, you're asking planes,

which have not been around that long. Yeah. To be like, hey, we all take some beavers up, and you're like, yo, we just got these new planes. We just invented planes. I don't know if we want to waste it on beavers. He's like, boy, you do the beaver thing.

It doesn't, if the plane goes down, it doesn't matter. Yeah. It's like, it's, you know, best case scenario, these beavers are located somewhere else in my mind. I'm just picturing, like, you know, like when they do those crop dusting planes, they're just dropping beavers the same way I could see this being this exactly think like the second you build a plane you're already just know you're within two months someone's like we dropped some my beavers out of

it and you're like God dude I can't this way can't have anything nice anything nice people moving yeah like it yeah you can't have anything nice. Can't have anything nice. People move. Yeah. Like, yeah, you can't have anything nice cause they hear, Hey, you know, they have airplanes where you take beavers up. And I imagine they were not thrilled. No, I look at the face of that beaver.

It feels like he's like, Hey, where's my log? Yeah. That's a whole different spot now. Man, that's crazy. Yeah. Well, there's, there's my log? Where am I? Yeah. That's crazy. You're in a whole different spot now. Yeah. Man, that's crazy. Yeah. There's one coming down. That's in like...

But so then they got there to let them out of the box. Yeah, that guy's... So why would they not just drive? I think that guy, he might have parachuted out with them. They just leave. They're like, Tom, good luck getting out. You're just gonna have to go down with these beavers. But for them to know that 75 survived and one did it, that means they had to let them out of the box.

So it would be like, well, why didn't y'all just drive? Yeah. Why did you make it that difficult to be like, you got to catch a beaver? But I bet these guys parachuted down with them. And I bet Dusty's right. I bet the terrain was too... But then how did they get back out? Oh, that's a good question. No, they're gone.

Yeah. They didn't. Yeah, maybe this was just, you know, tourism. They were like, let's get some skydiving beetles out here, beavers. Beavers. Let's go. No, there's no bad ideas, guys. What should we do to get people to hide? Oh, I got something.

Go ahead, Tim. Skydiving. Hear me out. The beaver drop. I love just, there's no bad ideas. All right, what if we skydive them? They go exactly perfect. That's great.

I wonder if the box opened when it hit the ground. It feels like it's not, it's just a wooden box. I was thinking that like it was like a tech, maybe like a technology thing, like a time release crate or something, but it looks just a straight, it looks like a foot locker from Davy Jones. It's like thing, like a pirate box. Yeah.

It's weird. You ever think the one that got out as he was falling and goes, ah, I see what they're doing. Oh, that's my bad. He's like, that's on me. Yeah, that's on me. He goes, they just say impasse to them as they, yeah, the guy stay in, everybody stay in. They them as they come down. The guy stay in.

Everybody stay in. I heard this. Don't get out. The same thing. They put squirrels in T-shirt cannons and they were just shooting them. Let's get them out of there. It's a squirrel problem. That's not, you know, that's not a bad idea. That's not fun. This says, transporting beavers on land was arduous, prolonged, expensive, and resulted

in high mortality. Wow. I guess it took so long to get them there that they were dying. Oh, on the beaver. On the beaver. Yeah. Oh, what's arduous mean? I don't know.

Hard, I think. Hard, yeah. I can't believe it. Why would you use that word to describe a beaver? If you call it the beaver drop. Yeah, if it's a beaver drop, why don't you go, it's hard. Because everybody that's moving a beaver doesn't use the word arduous. But I think people are like, how hard? Arduous.

Arduous. But I feel like there you could say very hard. Yeah, yeah. We get it, yeah. Yeah, we don't need all the words. We're moving beavers here, bud. How about, yeah, let's talk, we're not in class. And maybe that's part of it too. You got to church up your language a little bit because you're like, ah, we're just moving beavers out here. We got to seem smart.

You don't want to say what you're actually doing. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, they put them on horse or mule and send them over a mountain, but they would beavers were overheating the sun. What? And become stressed to the point of not eating. So I guess they probably couldn't get a vehicle

through the terrain, so they had to go over horseback or donkey back. They're tossed out of the sky to not stress them. Yeah. Only one. Talked to the number 76. Only one. Yeah, yeah.

I missed in the beginning, but why did they need to do this? They were doing damage. Oh, so they were like, let's get these beavers out of here. We don't really care what happens. Complaints about property damage from residents. So they relocated them to another part of the island. That seems like a you problem though. If a beaver is coming to my backyard and biting my deck, right? I'm not going to the office of the, you know, the chamber of commerce and being like, guys, you got to do something with this beaver. Yeah, the

mayor, he goes, what do we parachute them? Seems cheap. Yeah. I mean, they, I mean, back then too, you're like, why would you not just kill the beaver? Yeah. I would think they would. Yeah. I'd imagine, you know, there's, you gotta be like, there's gotta be a ton. Well, no one's counting beavers back then.

They got that 76. Now we're very aware of like, you know, there's only one left. Right. Everybody, everybody knows every beaver. Back then. Yep. They don't care. Like they don't. That's a great point because how is 76 the right number? Yeah. 1948, they care about. 76 is a weird number. Weird number of beavers. Like we had to get rid of 76 beavers. Like how was the number 76? Okay. 75 survived and they're like, how many were there?

And you're like, uh, 76? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 76 sounds right.

75 would be two on the nose. Yeah. So let's say we lost one. Yeah. Let's say we watched. Yeah. That is funny. Maybe they did.

Yeah. There was 500. They rewrote the history of it. Yeah. There's 2000 Beavers.wrote the history of it. Yeah. There's 2000 beavers. We just launched out of a plane. Obviously they tried tracking some on mules and. Yeah. This says beavers considered crucial to the health of Idaho's wetlands.

So, you know, they wanted to not just kill them. They wanted to move them. The program was massively successful. Estimated cost really quick. Relocating a beaver was $8. Wow. That's 1946 money. Yeah. Equivalent to $180 today and the estimated value of a beaver's work over a lifespan was $300. I mean you're looking at a 120 dollar swing. That doesn't seem like a lot. Yeah but it's $ 6600 in today's money Which how is the 300 jump that much with eight dollars?

Matt seems a little yeah to me. Yeah, three hundreds equivalent 6600 dollars in today's money But what does that even you know, it sounds like now that money you're like, oh wow Well, then it is worth it, but it's not if $6,600 means it was $300. How are you putting the price on a beaver? On a beaver, yeah. Yeah. The work of a beaver. Is that their hourly wage? What is that? I don't know.

It's crazy. I mean, it's funny, eight bucks. How much it would cost to do it? Eight dollars. It's like a bottom box in the pair sheet. You know, in the beginning of this, I wasn't really in Furfy's corner, but he's brought us down a really nice beaver hole here that we're talking through. I mean, it's a, I've learned something here. Yeah. We should do this more, apparently. Yeah. And for a name, Furfy, really concerned about beavers and beaver pelts. Yeah. Furfy. Yeah. I would think the Furfy family, we might find out, is the family that came up with

this idea. Yeah. He's humble bragging. He's humble bragging. He goes, you guys are so crazy. How do you mention the one thing that my family came out and did? We were moving $100 a day of furf down there. Jason Staub, I was wishing that you would have gotten to the Greater Idaho Movement

so that Ryan Hamilton could have weighed in. This is a movement started by residents in Eastern Oregon in which they are trying to get annexed to Idaho. It actually has real momentum with 13 Oregon counties having passed resolutions to look into it and Idaho's state government passed a measure that would allow them to enter talks with the state of Oregon on the subject. So Oregon want to zone of death. That's next.

Oh, so, yeah, good night. That's what they're calling it. That's what they're trying to move. He goes, Hey, we take our zone of death and we go, well, I don't know. Did you give it a flashier name? they're trying to move, he goes, Hey, we take our zone of death and they go, well, I don't know. That doesn't seem- Did you give it a flashier name? Yeah. He goes, it doesn't sound like it's a good deal. No, it's a good deal. It's the zone of death. It's a pretty cool, pretty cool place.

No beavers. He goes, don't, the name's not good. No. Let's start with that. The name's not good. We meant that. But hear me out. But hear me out. It's a zone.

It's a good zone. It's a good zone. Bad name. Yeah, there's no bad ideas. Right, right. No bad zones. Yeah, I guess he would be like, yeah, what are they, I would imagine Ryan's answer would be, I can tell you, his answer would be,

I don't care, whatever they want to do. That's what his answer would be. Yeah, but if they go, yeah, I mean, if they want to go, guess Oregon's got to put up a fight. Do they want to give up? I'd imagine if you're like governor of Oregon, do you want to go? That's when we lost those counties. Yeah, it's probably not a good look.

It's probably not a good look. So these 13 counties in Oregon are, they're the zone of death. No, no, no. Okay. Okay. So these 13, they just like, we want to be part of Idaho. Yeah. Okay. And Idaho's like into it.

Sounds like it. Sounds like it. Yeah. They're dancing with the idea. Yeah. Why would you not, if you're a state, you get more people. Tax. Yeah. Yeah. All that kind of stuff. And then you took away from. Yeah. Oregon.

Without force. Without force. This is a peaceful transition. I of guessing Nicholas Wynkoop is not a big fan I did I do that room. Yeah, that's for sure I speak I could speak from a little bit of a little bit of experience here I was as we spoke earlier from Staten Island and when I was like an eighth grade or maybe, you know Seventh or eighth grade they were doing that thing to succeed succeed New York City, because it's one of the boroughs. And they were like, we're paying all these taxes, blah, blah, blah, we shouldn't. And it was like the hottest movement for like,

until it went to vote. Like everybody's like, we're gonna do it, we're gonna do it. Then everyone's like, no, we're gonna stay part of New York City. And I remember like everybody, there was all the talks, but I was young, like, you don't, you're in eighth grade, seventh grade,

you don't really pay attention to that stuff. And I remember it was like a big thing where like my parents were like fighting with people about stuff. And I was like about, we need to be part of New York City. So I say it was like a big thing where like my parents were like fighting with people about stuff. And I was like about we need to be part of New York City. So I say stay where you belong. Stay where you started. You know, you don't want to ditch. Yeah. It's turncoat. Is it? Because they would be like you want the benefits from New York City because New York, because then

you're like, all right, well cleaning the streets is now on you. On you and all that stuff. Yeah. It wanted to become its own city. which is, and it wasn't, it's not big enough. There's a lot of stuff behind it, but I think that's a big thing because you're used to so much stuff that you don't even realize it trickled down, right? So like, property tax, whatever it is, but then it's like the city, the state funding

and all that money, you're going to a totally different pot. It's gonna be big ramifications of that stuff. So you got to be careful. And maybe this is a zone of death situation. I support it. I say, just form your own state. Yeah. Why join Idaho?

Exactly. Why not make your own thing? 13-county state. Let's crowd the flag up. I want a lot of stars. Now you're getting a little more attention. Yeah. Yeah.

Then you're, I think if you go from one to one, they might be like, oh, it's not that big of a deal. But if you go, I think if you go from one to one, they might be like, oh, it's not that big of a deal. But if you go, I'm trying to start my own state. Yeah. Then it's, now it's a whole thing. Regan Cordes, Regan Cordes, Cordes. I was so hoping that you were going to discuss the zone of death, especially since Ryan lives so close to it. The zone of death is an area in the country with a theoretical loophole that would allow someone to get away with murder.

So I look this up, it's a little hard to understand, but basically there's a part of Idaho that's so, I guess, remote that if you were to commit a murder per se, the constitution says you get a jury of peers to do your trial. There's no one who lives there, so they couldn't form a jury, so therefore you couldn't be prosecuted. That's the simple version. Tough to get somebody to go out there with you though, huh? I know we've had some problems, but take a trip. Where are we going?

Again, the name sounds worse than it is. Don't read into it too much. The zone of death. I want to, yeah, I want to bring us back together. Let's put a death to this animosity. Yeah. I'm going to call it the zone of death. I'm just spit ball in here.

Yeah. Has it ever happened? No. Yeah. You sound disappointed. Do you want me to drive? No, I'll drive. I'll drive. Let's take my car. It's like my car.

Yeah, I got your money. I don't want you to have to waste your gas. Basically a guy just was researching, figured this out and I think wrote a book about it and so it's got some attention, but it's never happened. I have a feeling they would figure a way to put you in jail. Yeah, be a federal. Mm hmm. Go ahead and bring federal. That's a that's that's a pretty big loophole, though.

That's like that's that's the biggest of loopholes, right? Like you could kill somebody and be all right. Yeah, that seems like really weird. Yeah. How does the guy that the guy that discovers that's not right, though, right? Like, what's he thinking? Like, he really doesn't like somebody. He's like, where am I going to pull this off? He's just his wife's behind him.

Bama, Bama, Bama. And he's like, hey, ever been to Wyoming? Yeah. He was discovered by a Michigan State law professor. Oh, OK. So it's part of his business. I guess that'll give him. But it seems very shady. Yeah. Yeah, that's yeah. That, okay. So it's part of his business. That'll give him, but it seems very shady. Yeah, that's interesting. If you found yourself there with someone, it would be tempting, right?

Yeah, I mean, people probably go hiking there in the zone of death and go, we're in the zone of death. So be cool. Watch yourself. Check yourself, Tim. Ryan is new. Yeah. Check yourself, Tim. Ryan, yeah, Ryan is new. Yeah. Everybody's on their best behavior in this underdraft. Yeah. You'll never get away with this.

Well, let me show you this Wikipedia page. Yeah. I mean, what would you do if you, I wonder if it would be just, yeah, I don't know. It's been how obvious probably would be the murder. What kind of murder was it? Yeah. You know, is it someone where people can get behind it? Like a self-defense murder.

That's not the right way to frame that and get behind this murder. If it's like a self-defense murder though, people are pro that. Yeah. People pro that. Yeah, that's true. And then, so then you're, you know, then they go, I think a self-defense murder, uh, you could get out of anywhere. You don't need to be in the zone of death. Yeah. Yeah. But it helps.

It doesn't hurt. Uh, any how come Nate asking why come about gravity has to, has got to be my favorite moment of this podcast. Thanks for the laughs. We've had a little discussion on gravity the past couple of episodes. Got to Idaho and gravity. Idaho and gravity. Take a deep on some. You don't, what, what, what are you pro or anti? What is? Nah, we were just asking. We're just asking questions about it.

We're just asking questions because we're not bothering anybody. We're just asking, is it real or not real? You know, nothing. How does it seep in? How does it not seep in? You know, if you put something- I wanna know about that. How does it stop? Like if you're in a metal ball and you- This is the third straight week of my life.

If you're in a metal ball and you go and you sink in the ocean, you would stay on the bottom of the metal ball. You don't float. But that metal ball goes to ocean, you would stay on the bottom of the metal ball. You don't float. But that metal ball goes to space. You float. So how is what's how stuff getting in there? Great question. Yeah. Great question. Yeah. Gravity is about the magnets of the earth.

So it's as a dusty move there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you're like, hey, just asking questions. I don't claim to have all the answers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you're like, Hey, just asking questions here. I don't claim to have all the answers. Yeah. I'm not. Yeah. I have no degree in this. I have no degree. No skin in the game. It's a perfect move. Yeah. Hey, hey, totally. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Cause I feel like you're, you're suggesting something. We're on the same page. I'm just, I'm talking in hypotheticals.

Hypotheticals. I'm a fun guy that's just talking. Let's have a conversation. You're saying the magnets. That's what two magnets can't, you can't push them together. What I'm saying... That's not gravity, that's magnets.

I don't know if that's the right word, but... Sorry, sorry. Because Joe, whoa. Oh, Whoa. Whoa. I'm just, I'm just asking questions, Joe. Just ask questions, buddy.

number one meal kit. That's right. Steve Pointer, Dusty, that was us in the car on I-65. All right. I knew I'd find him. My 14-year-old Shiloh was in the back seat. Son, Shiloh. What did I say? You need to skip the son.

My 14-year-old Shiloh. That's like a title. He's got a kiss. Like a Shylock. It is his 14-year-old Shiloh. Son Shiloh was in the back seat with the sign. I thought he was crazy when he said it was you. And then I remembered what you drive and saw the Tennessee tag. And I looked up where you were the night before it at track.

So we thought we'd take a shot with the sign. You made his day. That's awesome. I found him just driving next. They just drove up next to him and was like, that's dusty. That's so cool. Yeah. Saying hey to Shiloh.

It was fun. Waving to Shiloh. That's so fun. Yeah. San Heyda Shiloh. That's so great. It was fun. Waving to Shiloh. That's so fun. Yeah. You've had, you've had, you get recognized. I mean, you have a very distinct look. So you got to get. It's my first time I think getting wrecked.

Not the first time actually, but, uh, getting recognized by a stranger on the interstate while moving. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you got, you get recognized like in the car. I can't even believe it. How people put together it's me. Cause I'm, I'm look, I'm pretty normal. Look, I like, there's nothing, you know, I don't know. I don't know. You know,

but like I've, I've had people, I'd be driving same deal. Like I'm driving and people stop, but I'll have people at, I had one person getting an accident once they would like trying like, trying to talk, like take a picture of Selby with me and then somebody would stop and they just, we would drive, we just kept going and they just like, oh, and they hit somebody. They put that on the shelf. And then it's like, oh, bye. Like, I felt bad, you know? But people recognize me on the, I'm like, how do you even realize it? Sometimes it's not me. In the car is like the craziest one. Yeah. Who's looking, I don't find myself looking in a car to see who's driving

yeah right you don't I don't normally do that you know if they're just so it's it's got it's a perfect situation where the person is on their mind just started their watch that's where you guys will because you just been you're on TV all the time so I'd imagine I mean you't, everywhere you go is like, you know, what do you think you do? You just ask, you just, when you go, you just kind of like assume, all right, I assume everybody knows me and then you operate with that. Yeah, I operate with that.

You walk in and if they don't know you, they don't know you. I don't operate with them like, do you know who I am? That's how I operate. I like to, I've messed with, you know, Steve Burns, a good friend of mine, when we go on the road together and, you know, do our stuff, he just hates walking into place with me because I'll walk in the front door and I'll be like, I'm here.

Like three people like, oh my God, Joe, but the other two people that don't recognize you're like, who is this guy? That's my favorite part. So we've done it a couple of times and no one's recognized me, but I just keep it up and I'm like, huh? Yeah, that's very fun. Yeah. But yeah, I think the most it just becomes part of it. You know, it's only hard when I want my kids because you're in dad mode, you know, and you kind of just like, yeah, be doing that. So sometimes that gets a little weird, but for the most part, it's just, yeah, as it was, you've, I always thought you handled it very well.

Thank you. You always, you like, you had control. You were someone to watch, to learn if someone was ever going to be in that situation, to watch you, cause you were, you handled it. You just were in control of it. Yeah. Where if you let it control you, then it's,

it's not good. It becomes a thing. You become Sal. No, I'm joking. I'm joking, Sal. You know what's, you know what's funny is like, we'll always be able to tell because we weren't hitting cameras so long. You know, you always feel, you know, and I could always tell when someone is like videoing me.

I always can, like they're never as smooth as they think they are or whatever. But so then we have some fun with that sometimes where I'll just like start like yelling and making like a scene or something. I'll flip a plate and be like, you don't even know. And they're like, they're thinking of getting a woman and I'll turn around like, what's up? And they're like, they're thinking about getting a woman.

And I'll turn around like, what's up? And they're like, oh, you got me. That's funny. That's funny. Cathy Federer Carpinello. Cathy Federer Carpinello. Wow. Can I wait to hear what Dusty has to say

about Miss Carter winning best country album at the Grammys. I'm ready for his rant. Bring it on, cause I'm with you, Dusty. I don't know, no rant. I don't care about the Grammys. I'm happy that Post Malone didn't win the best Grammy for country album, but I didn't listen to the Beyonce album.

I don't know. My problem with Post Malone all along was that everybody was taking pictures. Every country singer that I had ever liked in my life were like doing songs with Post Malone. That's what was driving me crazy. I don't see Beyonce as a country musician. I'll say that. Yeah. And she has like 34 Grammys now. She's the most Grammy awarded. She's the Grammy, the Grammy-est. Yeah, she's the-

Yeah. But this was her first one for an album. Okay. I think it's her only one for an album. Oh, I didn't know that. Wow. Yeah. Cause I think that was part of the, like Jay-Z said something about that,

about her few Grammys ago or something. She's got the most Grammys but she's never won an album yeah and there were no country musicians that I really care about that were up for a Grammy so it doesn't make any difference to me uh yeah yeah I know I mean I do hate to disappoint you but I knew once Taylor Swift came out to give the award I I was like, Beyoncé's going to win. Yeah. That's how it was that obvious.

Yeah. To be like, why are y'all bringing Taylor Swift, you know, Taylor Swift came out to present. Like, she doesn't even go to that stuff. She doesn't have to be there. Well, the Grammy stuff, the Grammy, she's known to be an active participant in the audience. She's known for getting up, dancing, singing along with people. They always cut to her like to do that stuff. Usually she's winning everything. She's either winning. I don't remember presenting. Yeah, she just came out to present. No, she was

nominated for best album. Oh, she was. Yeah, she was. I watched the last 15 minutes of it and she didn't win anything, but it's hard, the Grammys, because you have to act like you're happy for the fellow and you have to dance to their song and sing along and it's gotta be exhausting just to lose. I've also almost made a full transition to only classical music now.

That's what I'm into now and it is changing my life. Really? Really? Really? It's so great. I just ride around in the car listening to classical music. Mozart? My dad used to listen to me. He used to make me listen to classical music in the car.

In Staten Island? In Staten Island, yeah. I know, I'm breaking a mold out there. Yeah, just imagine Staten Island. Rocking out to some Mozart. Look, I would see you and your dad, they're like, yeah, that's why we don't want to be a part of New York City.

Because it's stuff like that. Yeah. Because once we get, that stuff wouldn't be here if we weren't a part of New York City. That's right. Yeah. Back to Manhattan. Take that classical music to Manhattan. So you just know words.

Yeah, it's just relaxing. It feels good, but also, you know, not so, I mean, sometimes it gets pretty fired up. Yeah. So it's not, it's not so relaxing all the time, but it's can be stressful. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you look back to, you know, the old school Looney Tunes cartoons, right? They use that on that classical music. When the chase scenes came, you're like, it's just classical music going. Yeah, a little jazz in there too. Old school. I'm into it. I, I get it. I've listened to it, school. I'm into it. I get it. I've listened to it like when I'm writing or if I have to

write something, like just have headphones, have some noise on or something. I could sometimes put real actual music on because I can zone out. Because I like, I was like trying to try to make myself zone out. Like I always enjoy when I go, I like to be listening

to something and then think like, let me see how into what I'm writing I can get to that I forget I'm listening to something. Cause then you come out of it and go like, oh, I'll listen. And you're like, all right, that was good then I was able to do that. It's a marker. Like I'm like a marker. Yeah. So you, then you just can try it, but I've done it with the classical music or something, just where you're like, I don't really want to be distracted by any kind of words, but you then you just can try it, but I've done it with the Classical music or something just where you like I don't really want to be distracted by any kind of words We need some kind of noise going on. I listen to the I'll do the calm app a lot And just like kind of have like, you know a jungle. Oh, yeah Yeah, my kids listen to the rainforest sounds when they go to bed. Yeah at night

Yeah, that thing I never really got into listening anything. I some people need a TV on when they're to bed at night. That thing, I never really got into listening to anything. Some people need a TV on when they're sleeping and stuff. We have a sound machine. My wife doesn't need anything. And then when she's on the road with me, because I listen to like the jungle sounds, she'll listen. I kind of listen to where I'm at too.

If I'm like in the... Wisconsin. Yeah, if you're in Wisconsin, maybe I hear a little flowing, to me a'm at too. If I'm like in the- Wisconsin. Yeah, if you're Wisconsin, maybe I hear a little flowing, to me a flowing wheat field. A little moo from a cow. Yes. So it's basically moo. Moo, yeah.

And you'll sheer out like a baby. Yeah. What's your music genre though? What do you listen to like for music? Do you listen to- I mean just everything. I don't really care. Music is just, I'm not a good music person.

So I don't listen to words. I don't know what they're saying. I don't listen to the story. So you're more sounds, you like sounds. I just, the sounds, maybe I like classical music. Yeah, it does, you might. It might be up your alley. Yeah.

I have a Spotify playlist for classical and for jazz now. It's hard with classical because they're not naming songs. It's not like Mozart, you know, day at the beach. It's Mozart, Sonata, one in D minor. And it's like, ah, that's tough to remember. Yeah. You gotta go with playlists though. They curate the playlist for you.

Like if you go on the spot, do the playlist, it's like, what kind of mood you're in for you. You have to go by mood. Oh yeah. And then you'd be all right. I'd be like, you know, I'm gonna feel jazzy. I like cello. Cello is what I'm into the most.

Yeah. It's been sad. There's like an AI DJ on Spotify. You can do DJ and it's like a DJ that just goes off what you play. Mixes though? What makes like? No, it doesn't do mixes, but it will,

or maybe there's, I haven't seen that, but it will be like as one song's fading out, the other one will fade in, but it won't be like- A mashup. A mashup, like where it's a DJ like that. But it would be, you know. I should get into that, yeah. Because I'd be curious to see if he does

the classical in for you, because it's like a, you know, it's like a DJ sounding robot that's like dusty. And he goes, today we're going to listen to, yeah. Mr. Penny Air Horn. Yeah, Mozart. F minor. Just got a text from Aaron. Oh yeah.

He said, how'd the, I wouldn't even mention Aaron is doing the Tonight Show tonight. Yes. With Jimmy Fallon. Amazing. Yeah, he would probably just taped it. He said, how'd the pod go today? I said, still going. How'd the Tonight Show go?

He said, fun and set felt good. I'm sure I'll hate how it comes out. Okay. All right. That sounds about right. It's a good chance he didn't want you to read that whole text. Pretty sure of it. Yeah. I told him it was going. Yeah. Yeah. You go, you're like Will Ferrell that you can only read everything. You're like, well, when I'm on, I'm on. Anchorman. That's it. Another teleprompter situation. Yeah. No, his sets complete. You never feel good about your sets.

Are you always going to hate it when you watch it? It's tough to watch. You kind of just don't watch it because you're... I have a hard time watching it all night. But it's... His special is doing great. Everybody's loving it. Special's doing great.

Yeah. It's awesome. He's in it right now. Yeah. He's in the thick of it. Tonight's show. All right. I'm hopping in here again.

was, it was, it was very fun. That's when Bobby Kelly lost his everybody. It's like, it was very fun. This one, Bobby Kelly lost his phone. It's still my favorite. Bobby goes, we're in the ocean. Like, you know, we go to that beach or whatever. The one day at the beach thing, yeah. And so we're all, we're in the ocean. And Bobby, he loves all technologies.

He got a new phone and he goes, uh, it's waterproof. And I was like, he goes, I mean, you can put it in the water. And does it, cause he had it with, we're like all the way out in the ocean. And he's like, I was like, I don't think you can, uh, put it all the way out. I was like, it's not going to be waterproof. Like, like you can just drop it in the ocean. And he goes, no, dude, no, dude, that's it is. I got the drop it, then drop it.

And he just dropped it like five feet down, brand new phone in the ocean comes up and then he's like dude it works and then it just stops working. Oh no. And his phone was broke the rest of the trip. Oh my gosh. Yeah and it was uh it's my favorite Bobby Killing moment. Oh. Because dude it's waterproof. With confidence, with confidence. I was like, I don't think you can just put it in the, I think it's barely water. You know, it's like, it's wet proof. And he just, he goes, why did we talk to Dego? Here, just drop it.

Then Bobby, Bobby just dropped. He just dropped. Did you see his phone sink and just land in the bottom of the ocean? And then he comes up and gets it. And he's like, look, it's still working. And I mean, within three minutes, it's like, uh, phone doesn't work anymore. It's so funny. Uh, so yes, February 5th through the 9th, 2026 is when the Nate land cruise will be, uh, it's Tampa to Costa Maya, Mexico and then we leave you in Mexico

and we move about we go back to America and you start a new life in Mexico. That's the general plan. How do you leave from Tampa? Huh? I thought Tampa was in the center of Florida. No. It's on the beach. It's west coast. Yeah. Oh, Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay. Yeah. Yeah. It's only landlocked bay. Yeah.

Yeah. Bates, his name's on the poster, but he might not make it because he's going to be at the wrong Tampa. That's what we should have an over under if you even make it. You'll be in Orlando. What if?

No, not alive. If you make it on the boat, do you miss a flight? Because when the boat goes, not alive. If you make it on the boat. Do you miss a flight? Because when the boat goes, boat goes. Is it, are we going to see you running? Is the whole crew going to watch you try to run? Yeah. What are you basing that on? Just in general, you've missed flights. You get the wrong time or something.

You missed a flight? You get the wrong time or something. But you get like, you know, the flight to Tampa Bay. If you're late at all, you can get lost with time. So what about when we get off in Costa Maya and you got to be back on by 6 p.m. But you could get lost and then go, oh, I didn't realize we were leaving today. And then you see the boat go. Yeah. I'll have my wife with me to keep up with that. Okay.

I don't, I didn't see. You guys look good in these hats by the way. Yeah, that's right. It's a good look for you guys. It's for sure. It matches very nice with the shirts they picked. Yeah. Well, yeah.

I didn't see, I don't see my name. I didn't, I didn't see my name. You're surprised. Just so I didn't see where my name was. Yeah. Yeah. It's coming. It's coming. It's coming. I don't like Dust name. You're surprised. I didn't see where my name was. It's coming. It's coming.

I don't like Dusty's being above mine. We're together. You're together. Well, your font's bigger. Yeah, so it's, yeah, we're going to be doing, so I'll be doing stand up. We will do a live Nate Land podcast, a live The Consumers podcast, and then Don't Way Me Come Back There podcast stand up from, you know, all the Nate Land kind of guys, John Chris, Dusty, Derek Strube, Aaron Weber-Bates, Greg Warren, Dustin

Nickerson, Graham K., Joel McCall, Nagle Vicki, Dustin Chaffin, Malcolm Patterson, Nick Thune, Vecchione, Veeder, Zimmerman, Sean O'Brien, and Tim Convy, who are on The Consumers and Magic by My Death. And then we will have live music also. So we're going to, we're still putting some of it together, but it will be, I think it's going to be very fun. I mean, I really enjoyed when I was at y'all's and it's like a cool experience. Yeah.

I, it's like you're on vacation together. It's so cool. Yeah. Yeah. It's really fun. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's going to be a fun little outing and yeah, it'll be during the Super Bowl. Oh. Oh. Yeah.

How's that? The coolest thing about it for people that went, which I always liked, was like you don't really go, when you go on cruises, like regular cruises, you don't necessarily have something in common with everybody on the boat. Yeah. So like you're coming into this and it's like you're on a vacation with a bunch of friends you haven't made yet. And that was always the vibe of the ship. So that's what people are gonna get at this. So I would highly recommend February 5th through 9th

to come see us all on the- Come see us all. Yeah. No, but that's my- I do owe Joe a cruise for him bringing me on his cruise. So that is very true. Uh, if, well, Joe, you can buy tickets. When do I get tickets? Yeah.

You got a promo code for me at least? Come on. NateLanatC.com. No, it's, uh, we, uh, yeah, that's a great way to put it. Yeah, for sure. Cause you do, you, everybody on there has something in common. It's a shortcut. Like to me, it's like,

Yes. And so you're going to get talked to common. It's a shortcut like yes It's like yes, and so you're gonna get talked to everybody it is during the Super Bowl so that what is fun is the last The on that Sunday is we're gonna get all watch the Super Bowl together. Yeah, so then that'll be pretty cool They can't show the halftime. How crazy is that some reason? Yep, cuz we're out at sea So we got it. We're gonna make our own halftime show. Oh, that's fun. All right Yeah, so I'll be fun. Maybe you and Dusty can finally have your swim race. Yeah.

Yeah, we do our swim race. Figure out one lane or something. Yeah. Yeah. With like bait skits in there. Yeah. Dude, I wouldn't make it back. Yeah. Yeah. They have to stop the race. Because they have a pool right in the middle of a

cruise. Yeah. So you just go there and back. It's not a very big pool though, so it's going to be, it's like a hot tub. Yeah, it's going to be a quick race. Well, do it in the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah. You might take it to the ocean. I'll bring my waterproof camera. Yeah, make sure you film it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And yeah, I'll get you a pot sound. Yeah. Yeah. You could drive us two hours from New York, just drive there.

It's easy. Yeah, that's nice. I like that. All right. So Eli started the 75 VAR today. We're talking about, what are we talking about? Fad diets. Fad diet.

Why do they, is it fad diets are only diets that like don't work out? Diets that last for a while and then yeah. They become, everybody's into it. It's like the biggest thing ever. The big fad, yeah. And then suddenly. Yeah, well I'm with you.

I always interpret it the way you are, like fad diets are diet, like fake. Like diets that don't necessarily do something. But I think you're, I think the way you guys take it too about it, if I'm not wrong, is like you're thinking about the diet of the moment. Yeah. Yeah, it think the way you guys take it too about it, if I'm not wrong, it's like you're thinking about the diet of the, of the moment. Yeah.

Yeah. It's like a big jeans or something. Yeah. You know, like jeans, jeans go through a whole thing. Skinny, tight, bell bottom, boot cut. You got the whole thing. Yeah. But you mean, you mean holding up the jeans.

No, no, no. I meant like the jeans. No, no, no. I meant like the jeans. OK, because there was a big fad of everybody holding up their old jeans. Yeah. You still wear these. OK. Oh, yeah. Look at me. And I think they still do that. OK. I think people just have big jeans. Yes. Yeah. I'm filled with big jeans. So 75 Hard, I looked it up. The guy doesn't even call it a weight loss program. It's a middle toughness thing.

Yes. It's a full reboot, right? Isn't it that kind of thing? It's supposed to. Yeah. It's to build discipline in your life, which is what I, which is something that I need. You fluctuate a lot in your weight. Yeah.

And then I got way down and then I'm just at the worst. I need. You fluctuate a lot in your weight. Yeah. Yeah. And then I got way down and then I, I'm just at the worst right now. It's just a mess. And then, so I, but I need discipline. Because you realize like when you can have anything, it's like the idea of like eating. So I can eat McDonald's whenever I want now. And you're like, well, you're not supposed to, you know, you're not supposed to live like every day is a vacation.

And I will, food is a vacation for me. Like, you know, it's like, I enjoy like, oh, I'm gonna eat ice cream, I'm gonna eat a Blizzard and zone out for a second and all this. And so I need to get discipline back in my life. And I don't know if I've ever even had it. I've had it with comedy, with standup. I would go up every night. I knew I had to go out every night. Like I had discipline, because you can't not have it to not to get to this level.

But I don't, but I were at all, where I put it, not at all as in my health. You know, you don't do that. You did a smoothie cleanse. I did that once. It was on The Tonight Show. And it was leading up to Tennessee Kid. Yeah, but I did The Tonight Show on the smoothie cleanse.

Yeah, I did do it. Dropped a lot of weight. I did, it was like a seven day thing. It wasn't crazy. It's just you get the water, you kind of fin out a little bit. So it's nothing too crazy. But I mean, yeah, I've done too crazy but I mean yeah I've done there's any diet I've done them all maybe how many of you I got I did I do the Joe Gatto diet yeah

look at Joe 40 pound weight loss that's right wow yeah uh it's got your your steps in here somewhere yeah look at that the fat before and after. There it is. Look how many chains. Look at that. No jeans though. No jeans. That's why you're still surprised when you get recognized. You're hurt by it. They go, Joe, you're like, no, and I lost a lot of weight. They're like, did you? Yeah. No, that was my, that was at my fattest and biggest I was ever at was 225, which I think that picture is at, which is huge for me. I'm like just 5'10". And then I went vegan. Really?

Yeah. Well, first I went vegetarian first. Yeah, the pescatarian. I didn't eat meat. I still don't eat meat. And then I went full vegan and I did that for eight months, nine months maybe. And then I'm dipped back in between vegetarian and pescatarian. But, and then that just did a lot, but it wasn't even that.

It was just more three main things. I stopped drinking calories. I only drank coffee and water. I used to drink like sodas and things like that. Oh yeah. I drink sodas. Yeah. That's, that's a killer.

And then I drink diet though. It doesn't matter. Yeah. Just, yeah, just drink water. It's gonna, it's gonna do it. And then I did, uh, I started eating half of It doesn't matter. Yeah. Just drink water. It's going to do it. And then I started eating half of everything I was eating. There you go, say. I started eating half of everything I was eating.

He doesn't know what he's talking about. Terrible. I taught him everything he knows. Yeah, I did like literally half. I would like eat half a sandwich and not eat the other half. Or just come from that mentality of like, finish your plate, you know, that whole thing. And I just stopped doing that.

And I stopped eating late. I stopped eating after 7 PM. Oh, this is 7.30. 7.30. Well, that's, you know, that's probably, it's been fake news. Yeah. Yeah. But that was, that was like the main steps that I did. And it really, it just worked for me. I mean, everybody's different too, but that's really worked for me a lot. Were you ever, would you do diet stuff like, like you said, like when you get on TV, because that's the hard part when you start seeing yourself on TV. Yeah. But then it just gets to a point till you get so busy and stressed that you're like, the road. The road stuff, like you're late

and all that, it's worse. But for me, it was when I had kids, it was like being totally, like when I had my daughter, I became instantly aware of my mortality. Yeah. Like nine years ago, she's nine now, and I was just like, all right, I've not been eating well my whole life. I don't drink, smoke, never tried to drug or anything in my life. So I never had any of that, but I always had food. I always ate, like I'm a sweet tooth king. I love, you know, I love all that.

Canoles by the dozen, you know? So I was like all the time I would do that. And then that was like my thing. And then I was like, oh, I gotta undo this. And I saw a movie, it was called, yeah, I forgot the name of it, but it was about veganism. And it says you could, it was showing the science behind it. It said you could undo the damage that you've done. And it was like some scientific stuff. I was like, let me

try it. So I went vegan. I was like, I got through the first month, which was so hard. And I was like, I could probably do another month. And then I actually started feeling the best I ever felt in my life. And I was like, oh, they're onto something here. And so I just wrote it out. And then I was like, Oh, that's enough. I need some fish. Yeah, I started hungry. So yeah. And then I slowly slipped back and forth. But I always range within around, you know, like a 10 pound swing here and there. Yeah. Now I've worked with two comics recently, one of them being Mike

James, who are doing the Daniel fast. You guys heard of this? Yeah, I did it. You did? Yeah, I'd never heard of it until recently. Last year, we fasted, you fasted church and this was just doing water and then you towards the end of it did the Daniel fast. What is that you just don't eat meat? Basically, you eat vegetables and just drink water. And there's in the Bible, Daniel refused to eat with the kingdom of Nebuchadnezzar, one of them to eat.

Pride pork. Well, it was meat. And he ate vegetables and they said, well, let's just test it. And then they came out looking much better. He and his friends, then people eating those. Yeah. Yeah, it's pride pork. And Daniel was like, I'm not eating. The intermittent fasting is the big thing too. People do that, your window's closed, you can't eat anymore, that whole thing, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of like the idea is like,

I think now I just try to go as long as I can without eating, because I could always fast pretty good. So have you got a diet for the 75 hard? I think I'm just counting calories. So I'm just going back, That's what I lost weight on the first time was just calorie counting. And it was, you know, if I, because you get stuck in these weird extreme situations and you're, I'm eating out constantly or I'm at something or I'm, you know, there's no, I have, my life is not really consistent where you can go like I'm home this week

or I'm home that week. Last week I had to leave Tuesday. I was gone from Tuesday to, I got back yesterday and I'm in Vegas all week. So you're like, what are you gonna do? I can't go, I don't have a kitchen. And so you're always kind of eating this out and whatever. So if I do the calorie counting, it's like that's essentially all, it's weight loss is that.

I do the fasting and the calorie counting to be like, all right, if I have a mental breakdown of, you know, I know like I could go to Wendy's and get a junior cheeseburger and that's like 250 calories or whatever it is. I'm not saying I obviously if I just eat that, I would still lose weight, but I would feel bad. So, but it's all it's like, it's going like, all right, today I had fish and rice for lunch. And so it's like, all right, you eat that. And I think I want to eat more fish too, because it's like red meat does, I've started to feel like, you know, you just kind of feel fish is great. Yeah. I like a trout. You got a nice, you got a nice rainbow trout.

Yeah. Love, love. Just had some nice rainbow trout. And that was great. So good. I love that. Yeah. A nice fresh piece of fish versus like a fresh steak, like whatever, like

side by side, even when I was like eating meat, I was always like, when you had the fish, you just feel something lighter about that, a little bit of rice or something that just felt like good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. even when I was like eating meat, I was always like, when you had the fish, you just feel something lighter about that, a little bit of rice or something, just felt like good, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think meat and vegetables is the way to go. Like it's when you start adding in all these carbs,

all these breads, you sit down at the table, they bring bread, you're putting butter on it, eating it. And then you go, oh, I shouldn't have ate that steak. And it's like- Yeah, the steak was the good part. Yeah, yeah. was the good part. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about that basket of bread you had

with garlic butter? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and then like, you know, like, I don't know. I think all the carbs, all that stuff, I mean, you gotta have some, but. Yeah, cause I could eat like a steak. I wanna go back to being starving again, where it's like, when you eat, you eat,

cause when you're eating eating how I was eating is a lot of processed food and all this stuff, your appetite's not very good. Because you don't ever get, when I ate healthy and ate meat, I mean, I remember like you get, someone could put a 20 ounce steak in front of you and you're like, I'm going to eat every's. But it was like a good hunger. That was like a positive hunger, versus where if you go to McDonald's

and I'm just eating this kind of stuff, it's like, all right, well, I won't be hungry until some weird time, and then I'm gonna just lead into some other bad decision. It's gonna be not good. I know water is the key. I have one of those, I'm just asking questions here, but it's going to be not good. I know water is the key. Yeah. I have one of those like, I'm just asking questions here,

but it's always crazy for me. Like I would go to bed hungry. Like when I tried to start, I was like, okay, I just gotta go to bed. Like if I'm hungry, I'm like, I'm not going to get out of bed right now. It's 10 o'clock. Go get something to eat.

But then I wake up not hungry. Like what happened? Like I don't know. I never understood that. And then I could wait to eat to like 10 in the morning. You know, like, so that fast. And thing is like, sometimes a lot of it is, you just got to get over a hump. That's what you were talking about with So that fasting thing is like, a lot of it is you just gotta get over a hump.

That's what you were talking about with discipline earlier. It's all it is, really. Yeah. You just gotta be able to go like, I wanna eat, I feel better. And then get addicted to that feeling good. I wanna talk trash about your people, but DoorDash makes it tough. They do. You can get yourself a 10 PM double blizzard.

You gotta really, really discipline yourself. No, double blizzard. You know, that makes it, you gotta really, really discipline yourself. No, but you can order healthy stuff, DoorDash. You can order anything with DoorDash. Nice. You know? Maybe even just a friend. Yeah.

They'll just come over and go, hey, don't get any food. Yeah. The DoorDash delivery guy just comes and give you a hug. Yeah. Yeah. Just go to bed. Just come over and say hey. Yeah.

Yeah. Bring me some toothpaste. Yeah. Yeah. DoorDash Just come over and say, hey. Yeah. Yeah. Bring me some toothpaste. Yeah. DoorDash can get you all kinds of stuff. Yeah. Bring me a celery root. It's going to be celery. Yeah. Yeah. A little ginger. Like I like teas too. I'm big on teas. Teas can help your appetite. Digestive too. It helps with all that stuff too. Digestive stuff. One of the earliest fad diets was the tapeworm diet. Where people would- Eat a tapeworm? Voluntarily adjust a tapeworm. You would do that?

I mean, I wouldn't do it now, but it would be- Old you would've? Oh, it's a diet the Barghetti family would do in a heartbeat. Like we were very much being all that where you're- Yeah, you guys are always on the cutting edge. Yeah, we're- Yeah, we're- You're cutting edge. Yeah, we're, yeah, we're. You're the trial.

Yeah, we're trying. Your clinical trial. Yeah, the right answer is try anything. So the tapeworm goes in you and then you eat whatever you want and the tapeworm eats it. In theory. Yeah, and so you can't,

but the tapeworm's still living in you, so it's getting fat. Well, the tapeworm's got door dags. Yeah, yeah. It's like every blizzard. It's getting fat. And that's when you go got door down. It's like every blizzard. It's getting fat. And that's when you go, you go, nah, I got a tapeworm.

How do you eat so much and look so good? You're like, there's a tapeworm. That used to be like a thing that like grandmas would say is like a compliment. Like, you remember that? Like back in the day, like, oh, she could eat like she has a tapeworm. You know, it's crazy.

Is it, can you get rid of the tapeworm? I'm sure there's some way, but probably not easy. Well, my dog had tapeworms. You have to kill it with basically a chemo level thing. I had a dog, one of my dogs, rescue dogs, had a had a tapeworm, and they give it a 50 percent chance of survival. The dog. Oh, really? Yeah, because it's like it's and she was young when she had it. But to get rid of it, it's like a chemo level kind of thing.

It's like the worst thing a dog could have. They would say there was this like home remedy type thing where you could stand over like a pot of boiling something with your mouth open and then the tape one would come out. I don't remember what the boiling thing was. Oh gosh. I don't know what people say in that. I don't know if that's right. It's probably not. Just asking questions. It's probably not. I'm just asking questions. When was this diet? It started in the early 1900s. That's how hard, that's how addicting food is, is that you, it is, you get talked into

this. Like you're like, okay. Yeah. Yeah. You can stop eating pies or eat a tapeworm. Yeah. What is, is a tapeworm flat? It's a parasite, right? Yeah, it can stop eating pies or eat a tapeworm. Right. Yeah. What is, is a tapeworm flat? It's a parasite, right?

Yeah, it's a parasite. It looks like, uh, yeah, it is. It's flat. Still zero help with that, Joe. It's a parasite. Oh, it looks like the, do you ever see a ringworm? Yeah. You've seen ringworm, right?

It's, it's that in your belly. It's like that flat kind of like circular thing. Yeah. Um, do you want one? I got a guy. I got a guy for everything. Yeah. I think on the office, Kelly, they're trying to lose weight and Kelly did a tapeworm or Creed sold or something that told her it was a tapeworm.

Uh, in 1929, the Lucky Strike cigarette company launched reach for a lucky instead of a sweet campaign telling the housewives, you know, if you want to lose weight, just smokes more cigarettes instead of a sweet campaign, telling the house wise, you know, if you want to lose weight, just smokes more cigarettes instead of eating. And that does work. That does work. It's got its own health risk, but it does work. Yeah. Cause it's an appetite suppressor.

That is like a number. Right. That's not a one thing when people quit smoking, like you'd see them blow up. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they go into, people quit drinking too,

they go into that, like, you know, you need something else. Endorphin kind of. Yeah, yeah, so then you go into- AA meetings, people are just smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee. Yeah, they have a donut. I mean, that's what's going on. They have a table too that has like drinks

at the donut table. Donut, yeah, how you wrap up? No AA meeting I ever went to had any donuts, that's what's going on. They have a table too that has like, doughnuts. The doughnut table. Yeah, how you wrap up? No AA meeting I ever went to had it. Danny doughnuts. That's fancy. No, that's a fancy one. That's Staten Island stuff. I'll do a couple more. Weight Watchers started in 1963.

It's basically just assigning points to... Yeah, that's calorie counting. Yeah, calorie counting. Yep. The Sleeping Beauty Diet, which basically means taking sedation drugs to help you sleep instead of eat. I think Elvis did this.

So you just get like addicted to drugs and then just, you're like, I sleep all day, but I look, I look great. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of drugs. I mean, a pretty famous, uh, saved by the bell episode. Uh, Jesse Spano is, uh, taking speed. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm diet pills, but I don't know when she's singing. So excited. I'm so excited. She starts crying. I'm so scared. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Dexatrim was basically that.

Yeah. Leanne Morgan's got a joke about, she was basically on speed. Oh yeah. Cause it, it can train phenolpropyclamine. Close. Yeah. Uh, anyway, it, it gave you extra energy and helped you lose weight, but it was basically a drug. It was cocaine. Yeah, exactly. It's lots of them. Lots, yeah. SlimFast, that's a shake for breakfast. That was a shake thing, yeah. My mom did that.

SlimFast was a good one. I think I had family, my parents were doing that. Yeah. Slim fast is you drink something, right? Yeah, it was like a nutrient shake, right? Yeah. Shake for lunch, shake for dinner. Shake for breakfast, shake for lunch, and then you can eat a dinner or something. And whatever you want for dinner.

Yeah. Yeah, I like that. You're supposed to be able to get your vitamins in the slim fast without all the calories. Yeah, it was like a slushy thing. But it's probably a lot of chemicals. Yeah. Yeah. The Atkins diet slushy thing. But it's probably a lot of chemicals. Yeah. Yeah.

The Atkins diet, high protein low carb plan. Yeah, that's what like, I think that's you're probably generally supposed to, you know, dude, then that guy Atkins was huge. Yeah. I remember doing it when I first started comedy and I did it not for a week or two weeks, but I remember just, or maybe a month, I don't know,

but I remember just feeling terrific. Yeah? Yeah. With Atkins? Yeah, it was just me, no, cause you just, I mean, but I will feel great with probably anything cause I just put so much stuff on everything. You know, the subway challenge,

you know, obviously that guy, it took a turn. The diet didn't. You know, I remember him talking about the diet. He was like, I would walk like 13 miles to Subway, eat a turkey sandwich, and then walk home. And then everybody took all that in and go, if I eat at Subway, I'll lose weight. Yeah. Forget the 26 miles round trip. You're walking to get that heart rate up. Yeah. Yeah. You walked over a marathon. Yeah. They're like, I'm going to get a meatball sub and I'm going to lose weight. Yeah. That's how he lost all the weight. Walking. Yeah. Yeah. And Subway was great back in the day. That's when a lot of it wasn't all that processy stuff. Yeah. There's a little bit more fresh stuff. Yeah. It was so good back in the day, man.

The Paleo diet. Paleo, yeah. Caveman diet. What's the caveman? Only human stuff that they could have. Oh, yeah. Meat and vegetable, root vegetable, right? Yeah.

No grains, dairy. And you had jokes, you had the seafood diet. I see food, I eat it. Yeah. That's a fun one. They used to call it fatkins. I'm on the fatkins diet. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's a fun one. I used to call it fatkins. I'm on the fatkins. South Beach diet.

South Beach was a big one too, right? Yeah. That was after Atkins, right? The South Beach one. Yeah. That was 2003. There's a lot that just always pop up. And you never know what's right anymore too, especially with all the information or misinformation

that you could get from anywhere. Yeah. Because I think anybody's different. Somebody's like, I lost 15 pounds on Atkins and it's like, if somebody else doesn't, they didn't lose anything. You know, just really, I think. I always think when someone says they don't do it, I just, I think, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it's like, I think it anywhere. Because I think anybody's different. Somebody's like, I lost 15 pounds on Atkins, and it's like, somebody else does it, and they didn't lose anything.

Just really, I think it's- I always think when someone says they don't do it, I think they're not doing it, the diet. Because people normally, because they go like, well, I did Atkins, and I didn't lose anything. You're like, well, you didn't do Atkins. Because it's impossible not to. Because if you did it for real,

you would have lost weight. You just can't, I mean, like, unless you were eating five pounds of meat a day, like, it would, it's something that's physically impossible. And so it's like, when someone says that, are they eating Atkins candy, are they eating, like, you know, they found something that they're abusing, but it's like anytime someone says they do a diet and it didn't work, all these diets work. They all have a loophole though, like our friends over in the zone of death. Yeah, that's the thing with fad diets, they all work. It's just like how it's packaged to you and it gets you excited. I mean, I'm doing 75 hard now because it sounds like there's some

direction. All you want is direction because I always think that's the hard part with people when they do diets or they tell you not to do diets. They're like, just eat, just be balanced. And you're like, I know, but it's hard. I'm not a balanced person. I don't think in balance. I think in extremes. And most people do. I think it's good. It's great or it's bad, it's great, or it's bad. It's like, you know, no one's like this. Yeah. Like, oh, I have this, I'm allowed to have this. Now, I mean, I guess a lot of people probably are like that, but they go,

I can do this, then I do this. Yeah. And a lot of comics have addictive tendencies. So, you know, it comes in a lot of ways. And food is one of those ways, too. You have a lot of time on your hand and you're in your board and then you, and you build all these horrible, horrible routines with the road. Yeah.

Cause you're, you're what's open when you get on stage, you know, yeah. You had a late show, you get off stage. It's like 11, what's open. You know, I always joke like, yeah, when you headline, like, uh, as a headliner, you just get off stage and just get told the pizza is cold because everybody ate hot pizza. Yeah. And, but it came when you were on stage. Yeah. I think about that. Like I, I have cigars after shows and I'm like, I kind of want to like take a break, but I'm like, what am I going to do now? Now? I'm going to go

eat every time, or I'm just going to go sit in my hotel room after the show. Yeah. What am I going to do? Eat now? Now I'm going to go eat every time, or I'm just going to go sit in my hotel room after the show? What am I going to do? Yeah, because you're kind of up from the show. You can't fall asleep. We were talking about it this weekend, like in Vegas, because I think my high school buddies were asking a guy on the road with me, Justin, about how long does it take to calm down after a show and what you got to do.

We just went afterwards. I usually, right when I get done, I talk about what just happened on stage. Like, I did this, remember that, I did that. And you kind of talk about that stuff. And you want to hang out and you want to do stuff. But it's not, yeah, it's like you need some kind of calming down. Like you need something where it might even be where we, if you're really on the road, you'd be like, we might go shoot basketball. Or you might go, cause you could do something that crazy to kind of get that-

You got to deflate. Yeah, you got to deflate. It's not like you get, you just, you just need your, your, it's not like your body, your body could feel tired, but your brain is just overdrive. Yeah, for sure. I've sometimes felt tired though, recently. Yeah. Like right when I get done, like I'm like a draining, I really,

with the, with the arenas is I I would always feel, I'd get done and I'd feel pretty drained. Do you feel you're bringing a different energy though? Because you're talking to the last row and like, not even just loud, but you feel like you need to, so it's different. You're, the mentality it takes, as you know, doing the arenas, there is, it's, you know,

it's like, it's just so many people. Yeah. I mean, you go into theaters, it's so many people. Probably some kind of weird energy drain from people too. Yes, because everybody's listening, everybody's, and it's just, you're by yourself. And it's, yeah, it's like, I was much more tired after arenas than I would be after any other.

I don't even feel that actually after the clubs where I feel like, I mean, I would after arena, like I could sometimes go back and you're like, I think I could go to bed within minutes. Like, I could get off, talk for, you know, but within 30 minutes of getting off that stage, I would feel like I'm drained, right? I could go bed now. I don't know if I would fall asleep. That's the difference. I'm just going

to say that. Like you could lay in bed, you could lay in five minutes after, but when is your mind shutting off? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the only other. Cause you're also like, if you're, especially you're doing a new hour to like, you're analyzing like every joke, like, oh, that was really funny. I said, I remember that. Oh, I should, you know, like, so your, your brain is still doing your brain still at work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's almost worse for me. If I go, Ooh, I'm tired. I said, I remember that. Oh, I should, you know, like, so your brain is still doing, your brain's still at work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's almost worse for me. If I go, oh, I'm tired. I'm going to go to the hotel and go to sleep.

And then hours go by and I'm still awake. And now I've, I've almost got myself in this place where I'm like, oh, I can't sleep. And then I feel like I sleep worse than I would if I just hung out for a couple of hours. 100% right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. All right. We're back. We gotta. Yeah, I think we gotta wrap up. We barely talked about diets. We'll put that in there. I think we covered up.

It was really fun. Yeah, because they pick one. Yeah, and that's it. They put the most pressure because they pick one. Yeah.
