Hello folks and hey bear good to be here as always I'm Brian Bates along with my co-host Aaron Weber hello and Dusty Slay all. We're excited to be here. Nate's shooting a movie. It's very exciting. Shooting a major movie. Major, major movie. And the cast just got leaked. Yeah. I don't know about leaked, but it's out there now.

It was announced, yeah. And crazy lineup. Mandy Moore, Colin Jost, Will Forte, Kamel, Kamel. Kamel. Yeah. Yeah. More to come, I guess. Nate's still doing shows on the weekends. Yeah. I see. They were all over the country. So I don't think he has a day off for a while.

Mm-hmm. But- Who gets into comedy to do that to themselves? I got into comedy to work the least possible. It's like if I can make money by barely working, that's where I'm at. Yeah. I think Nate's making money though. Yeah, no he is. You should call your next special, the barely working man.

Yeah, no, he is. Barely, hardly working. He is. That's what I'm saying. Like it's like, yeah, I mean, he's, he's already done it. And, uh, it's, uh, wow. It is so hard. It's just where he's just work, work, work.

You got to strike while the iron's hot, you know? Yeah. But how much do you need to strike? That's what I always ask myself. How many yachts can you waterstay behind? How do you strike it? I mean, yeah, exactly. I mean, I admire it. I get it, but I'm saying that's not in there. I agree, Dusty. That's not in me. I mean, I thought about doing a major motion picture myself, but I'm like, nah, it's just

too much work. I was going to do a big arena tour, but why the hassle, right? I didn't want to have to move my funny moment. Well, the arena tour is just shows. Yeah. Right? I mean, obviously very good. Yeah. But I'm saying that's what we love. That's stand up.

That's the part we love. Your special is called Working Man, and now you're saying how you don't want to work. Well, it's about how hard I used to work at other jobs I had before comedy. At the beginning of the special, I'm like, this is the best job I've ever had. Yeah, for working. And I'll quit this one if I find a better one. Yeah. That's what I say at the beginning of that special.

Okay. I make no secret about how I work hard at trying to not work that hard. Yeah. Right. Yeah, I think you, now that's your hand washing. I was about to say, you even say it would be easier just to do it, but hand washing, you said you go out of your way

to make people think you wash your hands. You should have just washed your hands. Well, you don't want, you know, you just don't want the people seeing you not wash your hands and then, you know, start talking about you and pointing to, but I am at a place now where I don't care about that anymore. The airport in Nashville, especially, if I got to go, if I got to do anything other than

peeing in there, I wash my hands, obviously, but there's no hand towels. Yep. And the hand dryers are the weakest hand dryers I've ever seen. That is frustrating. And I don't know if I've ever seen a hand dryer that I thought got the job done the way I'd like it to. No, but that one at the national airport is- Especially bad.

One of the worst- Are they the, where you jump? No, it's now, you got like a sink with three. Oh yeah. So one is the water. I always choose the wrong one. Yeah. I always think that's the water

and then it starts blowing air. One's the soap, one's the water, one's the air. It is pathetic. I've stood there for a really long time and then still have to wipe my hands on my pants. And I'm like, I don't want to go through that. If you want me to have cleaner hands at the Nashville airport, you got to get some hand towels.

I agree. I totally agree. Sometimes if I'm on the fence about it, if they don't have hand towels, I'm like, I'm out of here. Yeah. Or just give it one of these. Yeah. You know what I mean? Kind of flick it at the mirror. Yeah, exactly. But you know, I do, I have the Admiral's lounge for American Airlines. Which is something you can earn. The Admiral's lounge. You can earn by flying a lot. Yeah,

I'm sure you can. Southwest doesn't have one. No, we have a smoking room. Yeah, I got the smoking room now. That's the Southwest. Yeah. And then the smoking room is real bad though. I always want to enjoy it, but I'm like, ah. It's like a break room at the DMV. Yeah. It's like depressing.

They can't even get work done because there's smoke so heavy. No, the wifi's not good. The plugs don't work. The people just look sad. Yeah, it's not good. But you know, in there, in the look sad. Yeah, it's not good. But you know, in there, in the Admiral's lounge bathroom, they have hand towels. And I had that thought, why you really got to,

you really got to be upper class to get some hand towels. They have a bathroom attendant in there too? No, thank goodness. You don't like that? No, I can't stand somebody that's always in the bathroom with me. Yeah, it's probably tough for them too.

Yeah. Yeah. It's just the lose lose. I hate when people are even cleaning the bathroom. It's like, I know it's got to be done, but when you're shutting down the whole thing to clean, it's like, let's go one at a time here. I understand you don't want to be cleaning one stall and somebody's blowing up the other.

I totally get it. Right. But I just got to pee. I just want to pop in there real quick and pee. That's all I gotta do. It's got to pop in there real quick. But I gotta pee real bad. And you put me in a spot now. Yeah. I'm gonna go sit back down, come back and check it in five seconds. Go, ah, still closed. Meanwhile, it's like an older lady cleaning it. It's like, let's have dudes clean the men's restroom.

That way I can just get in there, get in there with him. Get in the stall. Not the stall, but the bathroom. You know, I can. Okay. You think he appreciates it more than she does? Well, I think it's inappropriate if it's a lady. I get it.

It feels different. You mind if I just pee in here while you're cleaning these urinals? But if it's a guy, you're not. Oh, I thought you were talking about blowing up the stall. I'm not really a blow it up kind of guy. That doesn't, it's not really what I do. That's good. Yeah. But I don't think being a blow it up guy is a choice.

Maybe not. It's not like, uh, yeah, that's what I do. I just blow it up everywhere I go. That's my thing. It just, it happens to you, man. Sometimes life happens and you're like, this is happening. It happened to you at a coffee shop in Portland, Maine. Yeah, no, I've done it, but overall, I mean, I feel like there are guys. I don't think guys wake up and go, you know what I'm doing today? I'm going to destroy some public bath.

But it feels like they do destroy it over and over again. How do you know it's the same guy? I don't know. It just feels like if you're a blow it up guy, you're a blow it up guy. It's your eating habits. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I didn't go to the same place that I went. I went, last time I was in Portland, Maine, I went to two restaurants and, uh, and then on a Saturday, I almost had a real incident out on the street. That never happens to me. Right. Um, but so I went back to one of those places in the same order that I would have done it the last time and I didn't, cause I wonder, cause I had some kimchi, which has a lot of probiotics in it.

Right. And I had kimchi again. I was just kind of testing it and nothing happened, but I didn't go back to the other place and I don't want to say the other place. I probably said it before, but I don't want to say it. I think it's very popular. A lot of people go there. They do recommend it.

Arby's. Yeah. And I, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the way it tasted, but I, you know, later. You paid for it. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Or a, you know, coffee shop there paid for it. And typically I buy something.

If I go in and use your bathroom. You got to. I will. They got to shut that one down. But that day I was like, I'm a little embarrassed here. I'm just going to go in and use your bathroom, I will shut that one down. But that day I was like, I'm a little embarrassed here. I'm just going to go ahead and get out of it. You know, how many times I'll walk into somewhere, what's the cheapest thing on your menu? Give me one of those to go. I'll see you in a few minutes.

I think though they should have public restrooms. I think we should put them in all cities. They have to pay for public restroom. You can scan your card. You can get in. I think we could have, uh, you could have free one and it doesn't get cleaned very often. You have the $1 one that gets cleaned pretty regular, and then

you could have a $5 one with a little room to move and tell you something, there's times. I mean, if there was something in the $50 range, I would consider that. But can you imagine though, downtown Broadway- Keep the change, there's a hundred. Downtown Broadway, you got a free, a dollar, and a $5 one.

And if you get caught holding the door for someone else and them not paying, $50 ticket. Okay, who's policing this? I mean- You don't like a bathroom attendant, you want a police officer in the bathroom at all times? Outside of it. Okay. To make sure you, cause like, hey guys, it's like, you would like to believe that we live in the kind of country where you could have some sort of honor system to where it's like, hey, we're providing a service for you here. It's

not very expensive, just pay it. But you know, people would just hold it for each other. That's not going to happen. And then you would, now we don't have the money to clean it. You got to put a credit card in. It'll hold like a deposit. Yeah. You know? Oh, that's a good idea. Yeah. And if you let somebody else in, it charges you. Maybe it's motion. Or maybe you get like a library card, but for the bathroom, like a bathroom card. A punch card.

Yeah. But then that's extra steps where it's like in a tight. Two times. like a library card, but for the bathroom, like a bathroom card, a punch card. But then that's extra steps where it's like in a tight, you might not be subscribed. You got to think, yeah, you got to get ready. It's like pre-check. You got to get it and then you have access to it. But I feel like the moment you realize you need that you're already in a spot. Well, you got to get it ahead of time. You know, I think it's just like a Netflix subscription. If your friend wants to do it, let them do it. Wow. There's not going to be a long line all the time where people next person holds it next person holds it. But if you're with a friend, yeah, they gotta pay. There was one time in Atlanta, I was walking

around, what's the five points? I think the area is called where there's a lot going on. And it just jumped up and hit me. I was like, something's about to happen right now. So I start frantically looking for a place. And I walked into, try to tell the story on stage at one point, I walked into a tattoo parlor.

And I was like, can I please use the bathroom? And the guy goes, it's for customers only. And it was, it was so bad. It was so bad. I was like, where's your back? I considered getting the tattoo just to use the bathroom. Like you can get me on the way out. Just a little heart on your ankle.

Yeah. I was like, what's the smallest tattoo I can get? A little freckle? Yeah. Give me a little freckle and it'll be worth it. Wow. What'd you do? Um, they just let me, they could see it in my eyes that I needed it and they let me in there. So if I do, if I do ever get a tattoo, I never will, but if I ever do, that's where I'm going. That's the hard part too, though, because when you can see somebody really needs it and it's for a number two, you're like, ah, you're about to mess up my bathroom. Right.

Right. Literally. If it's a pee, you're like, ah, it's okay. I just. A pee, there are ways to handle it. You know, you can get creative. You can walk behind somewhere. I got a joke I've been working on now about the airport bathrooms, not the

hand washing bed I just did, but the airport, but I don't want to do it, but it's like, it's just, um, there's so many, like the bat having to use the bathroom is like, it's so weird when you're in a city. Now I understand, they got all these homeless situations going on, so they can't have wide open bathrooms. But when you're in a city, wide open bathrooms.

And they're just like, just like a fountain in the middle of the courtyard. They're just not letting you use the bathroom anywhere. It's like, you know, we all have to do this. You need a code. Yeah, we all have to do this. You need a code. Yeah. We all have to do this. Yeah. Have you seen the progressive commercial where the guy, he's like the code for the bathroom

is seven four two whatever. No. It's the one of the ones where it can't make you become more like your parent or whatever it is they say. Okay. And it's the guy. I like those. He's pumping gas and hey, the code for the bathroom and you know, it's supposed to make fun of those. He's pumping gas and hey the code for the bathroom.

And you know it's supposed to make fun of him like it's like your dad but I would like I would love that. Yeah that guy's a hero. Yeah exactly. Yeah those commercials I do find them funny but it's also like encouraging people to not be friendly with other people because the older folks are the friendly small talking ones but they're like hey't do this. Don't try to help other people or we'll make fun of you. I was on a, uh, since we're sharing bathroom stories flight to Japan. Oh boy. And something hit me and it was one of those big jumbo jets and there's two bathrooms in the back, like one down each aisle.

That's it was one of those two aisle ones. And I went to one and I was in there. So people kept knocking on the door. And when I finally came out, the line was halfway up the aisle. It was almost first class, just the line of little Asian people, uh, waiting to use the bathroom. Geez. And they're all like disgusting Americans.

Yeah. Yeah. And they were right like disgusting Americans. Yeah. And they were right. Eating their Burger King and McDonald's. They were right. They were correct. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that was fun talk. Well, I was in the airport this weekend and I walked past the bookstore and I saw on the best seller, little best seller shelf, Big Dumb Eyes, Nate's book, number one, number one New York Times best seller. Wow. Look at that. Look at that. Big time. The guy, the guy's got the Midas touch. I think he's going to make it. I think he's going to do all right.

Please support our show and tell them our show sent you Just getting to this weekend I Had you know how some weekends nothing goes right?

most weekends for me, but I mean just like there's just one problem after another. Yes. This was the perfect weekend where, I mean, everything's hitting. I get to the airport, I look up on the board and the status from my flight, I'm like, oh no, it's delayed. It's early. I didn't even know that was possible. Whoa. Scheduled for 730, now says departing at 725, which I'd be annoyed about if I was late for my plane. I don't even know how I can do that. We leave early.

I get the airport, walk up to the baggage, the luggage thing right when my bags are coming in. Didn't even have to wait. That's one of the best feelings. Walk out to my Uber. Don't even have to wait. Time it perfectly. I'm nailing it.

Wow. My hotel, I called the day before, see I get early check in. They said they would try. Usually they don't. I get there at 10.30 in the morning. They see I get an early check in. They said they would try. Usually they don't. I get there at 10 30 in the morning. They got me a hotel and 30 I'm killing it. It's coming up all Brian.

So far all Brian Salt Lake city met a friend for lunch. The weather's beautiful. The shows were great. Sold out Saturday night. All right. I know this because I bought the last ticket. Did you really? That's the move dude.

Well, you know how you go online to see if you can buy the maximum amount of tickets and you hope you can't? Right. So it was 15 was the maximum allowed. When I went to bed the night before, said only 13 tickets remaining. I'm like, oh yeah.

I get up the next morning, five tickets remaining. I'm like, it's going to be sold out by lunchtime. I check at lunchtime, seven tickets remaining. Two people returned theirs apparently. Wow. So then I'm checking. It gets to one, but early after one ticket left, I'm like, boom.

And then I keep checking, I keep checking, cause I wanted to say sold out. Now it's 5.30, the show's at seven. I get a small bonus by the way, if I have a sellout. Yeah. And I'm like, I'm buying this last ticket. You got to. I went online, it was a little too high if you asked me, but for your own price.

Yeah, not a fan. Yeah, but I bought my last ticket just so you can say sold out. And then it did on the website. Yep. It immediately said it. And you did get the bonus. I did get the bonus. Because if you go through all that and then they go, oh no, sometimes the website says sold out. And I think Keith, who we all know would have given me the bonus, even if there

was just one ticket left, but it was just one. And I immediately sent the screenshot to Nate and said, Hey man, I'm trying to push people to your show to try to help you out. I worked with a comic once who bought, who bought over 50 tickets of their own. We know you don't talk to me. Just what funny. Okay. At a theater, they bought like 50 tickets to hit their bonus.

Yeah, it makes sense. And then, and they ended up fighting with the, the, the manager of the theater. How big was the theater? I'd say close to a thousand. Okay. Thousand seats. I could see if it was like a 250 seat theater. And he bought, he bought a quarter of it.

Wouldn't be smart for him or the theater, but yeah, I think that's a good move. But I think they just did the math and were like, this makes sense. I'll just buy 50 tickets, hit the bonus, and then I'll end up in the black. Yeah. One ticket is hard. You're saying you keep looking at it, but it's like you're counting on one person going, oh, I hope I can go see this show. But that's, you probably-

That's my audience. Single tickets. Yeah. Mike Terry came by himself. Oh yeah? Yeah. Turns out he is the same guy that's you probably, that's my audience. Single tickets. Yeah. Mike Terry came by himself. Oh yeah. Yeah. Turns out he is the same guy that's on the Opry. He just flies back and forth.

Yeah. No. Uh, did he bring that up though? Yeah, he did. He's like, I'm the Mike Terry that, uh, you know, I guess I'm not the guy on the Opry, but does he know Mike Terry? I wonder just from us talking about it every Mike Terry he does on Sirius XM prime country he does countdowns like he'll do like on this day in

1980 this was what was you know charting in country this guy's like your hero Yeah, I was country music. Yeah, he'll go through the whole thing of like on this day and the year was 1989 Yeah, and he'll do what whatever what everything was charting that day it's really good it's a great show and he'll tell some news facts and yeah TV shows yeah Mike Terry's really great Saturday I went to I got a tour of BYU's football facility look at me I'm decked out here out man so thank you to Ryan Watt who's a fan who set this up and oh yeah I know him you gave me a a hat. Yeah he wore his hat at my show. Yeah. Your hat which I appreciate. And then

Coach Hamblin was the coach there that gave us the tour. BYU's got a Heisman Trophy. They got a national championship. Who won the Heisman Trophy again? Ty Detmer. Ty Detmer. Then you also rode the comedy bus? I didn't ride it but I went on there and signed it. Yeah. And there's a comic in Salt Lake, JD, I can't think his last name. Dance. Maybe, I don't know if that was him. What is his last name? JD, dang, maybe I just called him JD. Billingsley. Anyway, he drives a short bus. Okay. And he has all the comics come on and sign it. He has a school bus that he converted. It's pretty cool. That sounds awesome.

Yeah. It's never hit me up when I've been there, but... Yeah, a lot of people said, we've seen everybody email stuff ever. When's the last time you were there? I guess it's been... I was there during the October 7th attacks on Israel. Beautiful man. How long ago was that? Uh, 50 years ago.

I have no idea. A couple years ago, I guess. Yeah. 2022, maybe. Probably, uh, maybe I was going to say maybe it would be two years. Or maybe 2023, but I remember it was during that. Yeah. So October 7th.

Yeah. Whatever year that took place. So it's been, it's been a while. Okay. So I'd love to come back. Yeah, whatever year that took place. So it's been it's been a while Okay, so I'd love to come back. Anyway, I had a great time. It's all like I always do wise guys is such a great club That's the best and Salt Lake City is a great city. It is. I was just there not too long ago Yeah, they said they saw you with theater there, right? Yeah. Yeah So that was all I was doing Aaron. I was in

Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Steel City. Yeah. Improv? No, I was technically, I feel bad that I pitched it as Pittsburgh because I was in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, which is so far from Pittsburgh. I thought it was just a little around the corner. It's like an hour. It's like an hour drive outside of Pittsburgh,

but at the live casino, it's one of those gigs you show up, you walk in the room and you go, this is gonna be horrible. You can just kind of tell, right? It was in like a ballroom at the casino. It was set up just for the show, but it was like, this is just not gonna be good. And so I had Lee Kimberl with me, it was very funny.

And we tried to, you know, we put a positive spin on it in our heads, but we were like bracing for a bad show. But it was pretty full and the show was electric, dude. It was great. You know, like when you're backstage and you're listening, you're like, I just need to hear like the first big laugh and that'll be the gauge. It came immediately and it was a huge laugh.

And I was like, oh, dude. He's good. Let's go. So I was very excited. The show went great. A lot of people drove a long way to come there. People gave me some stuff, just a great, great show. Shout out to the live casino in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.

Then they like hooked us up after they're like, do you want a VIP booth in the club? And then we were like, we guess. What club? Yeah. There's like a club in the casino and you can get a VIP booth. I was in there for about 30 seconds. Like a dance club?

Yeah. It was a nightclub. So we were in there like 30 seconds. I was like, yeah, I'm not doing this. But. Did anyone's phone go off during your show? Oh yeah. Somebody write in multiple people wrote in and talked about how funny you were

when the guy's phone went off twice. Oh, it was an old person ringtone. Well, you know, you can just tell the age of somebody. Just the age. Or was it just a, an actual ring? It was just a ringtone. You can tell they probably didn't go into the settings and choose it. It was just kind of the way the phone came.

Yes. Sounded like a Motorola Razr. I said at one point, it was like an old phone. Anyway. Yeah. They were just, they were fun like that. We had fun with them. Yeah.

Everyone's saying they were funny. So Lee Kimbrough, I was talking about something we did that day with Lee Kimbrough. And I go, Lee, you know what I'm talking about? And he's not in the room. So he stepped out. So I go, the show's going well enough. I can kind of be fun with the crowd. I go, guys, if Lee comes back in and I go, how'd you guys like Lee? Don't boo, but everyone be like, eh. All right. So, yeah, so I kind of forgotten that I did that.

Like 30 minutes later, Lee steps in the back and he's like taking a picture of the show on his phone and I go, no, Lee Kimbrough, buddy, how'd you guys like him? And the crowd went, and I see him. Now I thought it would be obvious. This was a joke, but apparently Lee. Like just, he's like, I'll just step in and take a quick picture. He goes, Hey, Lee, the crowd booze him. He's like I'll just step in and take a quick picture. He goes. Hey Lee the crowd booze him He's like, oh my Goes back to the green room has like a meltdown

He said he called his wife. It was like I thought it went great Crowd hated me. So then after the show I go that was funny, right? He goes dude. They hated me I got told him to do that. He was like, you're lying. He could not, but I mean, it was, I could not believe how well it worked. Wow. I thought it would be obviously a joke and we were just kind of messing around, but he thought the crowd dude.

And when I brought him up, starts drinking Gables, all his money at the table. Like it's over for me. He goes, dude, I feel like the weight of the world's off my shoulders now. I've been back here like I ruined the show. Yeah. You know, I thought, I thought they liked me, but they hated me. But it was just that kind of fun, just a fun night, fun night of comedy. Fun for you. Yeah. We ended up having a good, he had a great set. Yeah. Anyway, just great time. Thank you to the live casino in Greensburg.

What about you, Dusty? Well, I went to Portland, Maine on Friday, State Theater, very good. I like Portland a lot. It's always a little rainy. Great show, tons of fun. Heard that song, Portland, Maine by Donovan Woods. I was wondering what you were doing.

You sent it to me, yeah. You didn't like it. No, I do like it. I didn't get much how it was about Portland. I mean, I think it was a little hard to understand. You sent it to me a couple of years ago. Okay. I'd give it a re-listen. Okay.

Um, I liked that kind of music though. It was a little sad. Yeah, I see what you're saying. I like that kind of stuff, but Portland was really good. I did radio in the morning. I went there on Thursday night and I, I didn't realize I was going to be doing radio and I was a little bummed about it when I found out. But I did this radio station. I don't know what they're, it's a Blake and Kelly is the show in Portland and it was so fun. I do a lot of call-ins on radio and I have fun with

people and most every in studio radio I do is a good time but these guys were super fun and we had a great segment and I feel like we sold like a hundred tickets that's awesome. Really? Yeah. That's great. Yeah so it was really good and then I went the next day to New York City and did a show at the Town Hall and I thought it was a great show. I had my buddy, uh, Derek Humphrey and Ian phalanx on the show with me. Both very funny comics and, uh, you know, uh, ticket sales never, never exploded, but it looks like you and Ian, like he took your pants.

Yeah. Was it a little? Yeah. Ian's hip. He's very hip. But it looks like the pants to your shirt. Yeah. Anyway.

Yeah. It does kind of like the out, the kind of like, I don't know, inseam or whatever. I don't know what that's called. It looks like y'all, you just traded shirts before. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. But, um, great show though. Really fun.

Really for my, you know, it's like, it's a big theater. Right. This was in Manhattan, Manhattan. I sold 500 tickets. Amazing. That is amazing. So it's like, yeah, I'm in New York city selling tickets to, and Ian Ask hosts from here. Tons of people cheered.

Like they like live in the city. Wow. So, you know, and it's, there's a lot going on, it really, right there in the Times Square area. And then we went to Bryant Park and had cigars. Oh, that's awesome. It's a no smoking zone, but the security guard walked by a lot of times

and never told us not to smoke. Right. And then they eventually shut down the park though, and kicked everyone out. Including y'all. Yeah. Which I thought was weird, but yeah. City that never sleeps. I know that's what I said.

Uh, but, uh, good weather. Weather was great. A little cold for me in Portland, but in New York, beautiful. Beautiful. Look at these tickets. You got like real tickets. Yeah, I know. That's super fun. Super cool. Yeah, and the show was great. I mean, I'm working on doing, I did an hour and 22 minutes in Maine. That's the PR. I didn't send it to us.

Is that the PR right now? Yeah, and then I don't know what is it. Personal record. Yeah, I think it is. I was actually shooting for it in Portland. In- He's dragging it out. Yeah. Well, no, I- We're having a good time. No, no, I mean, I got so many new jokes that I'm doing. And then once I hit the hour, then I try to do about 20 minutes of jokes

that are on the special that's coming out. Okay. You know, so they're still not old to people. So it's a hot show. Felt real good. Both of them were great. And yeah, everybody comment how great the show was. Yeah, it was really fun. Derek left his zipper down. Oh, did he? Yeah. Oh no. Whole show. That's too bad. But they said it was great. You see that merch? That's cool merch. I did see that. I like it. I like it.

What does that say? Oh. That's a good shirt. Yeah, that's a good shirt. I fought for that shirt, actually. Really? Yeah, some people were worried that it, you know, because that's from the old special. Yeah.

But I'm like, nah, that's funny. Yeah, it's fun worried that it you know cuz that's from the old special yeah, but I'm like now that's funny Yeah, it's fun and everybody gets it everybody my age gets what's going on. Mm-hmm You guys want to get in these comments, let's do it. Yeah, you have the lamp from the Christmas story on stage. Yeah It's a ghost lamp. Yeah, it was yeah. These theaters have a ghost lamp. Mm-hmm much Was that their ghost lamp? Yeah, it was, yeah. These theaters have a ghost lamp. Much to me feels like you're encouraging them, you know? They're keeping them at bay. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I, yeah, I mean, I,

these theaters have such weird architecture sometimes that- Every theater's supposedly haunted. Yeah. I've never been to one where they were like, nah. Especially if they're really old, who knows what they were doing back then. Every theater's like, it supposedly haunted. I've never been to one where they were like, nah. Especially if they're really old, who knows what they were doing back then. Every theater is like, it's haunted. And then they're like, Houdini like lit a bomb in here

when he was here in the twenties. It's always something like that. Here's a trap door Houdini put in. That guy was a nightmare, but yeah, we left it. Yeah, I'm told the ghost lamp serves two purposes. One, it's for the ghost. And two, it's for... once they turn all the lights off, it's pitch black in there. They put it there just so somebody

doesn't accidentally walk off the stage. It's an old superstition that the show always goes on. There's always a little... there's something... some kind of cheesy reason for it. Did you... when you did the Tonight Show, did Michael Cox show you that Jim Henson closet? Yes. Yeah, there's like a closet in there where Jim Henson was doing the show. And then for whatever reason, he got, he kept getting delayed.

He kept getting pushed back. So he ended up being there in the room, like Johnny Carson. Uh, no, he was in LA. I don't know, but it ended up being like hours and he, and years later, they found this room where he had opened the door and there was like, I don't know, electrical equipment in there or pipes. Yeah. And he drew little characters all over it

and they didn't see it for years. That's great. He did all that. So now it's like, there's glass over it and it's a little exhibit that you can see. That's so cool. But yeah, what a lunatic, huh? Yeah, yeah, totally. But there was no smartphone back then,

right? So imagine this guy, this guy's just sitting there. Yeah. He already read the paper. Yeah. It's like, what am I going to do? Jim Henson was on the very first SNL doing what? Doing some, oh, he had some puppets back then. Yeah. They weren't cute muppets. It was really weird. I forgot what they were called, but it was a weird thing. But yeah, he was on there.

Stephanie Cerny Think that's right. Yeah, I think so. Brian is like the grandma Stephanie. I don't know Brian is like the the grandma just trying to have a nice Thanksgiving dinner and dusty and air the cousins They can't stop laughing at each other at the kids table. Well, that is true Yeah, you remember the first time I always said the adults table old lady. That's what I say Yeah, I mean I'm agreeing. Are you? The first time you got to sit at the adult table at Thanksgiving? I do not, not yet. I thought when I had a kid maybe, but yeah, yeah, it's a big deal. Yeah, it's fun. And then you get

there and you're like, well, it's kind of boring up here too. Mm-hmm. And adult. Oh, it's more boring. Yeah, for sure. Adult conversations. Yeah. And it was more boring. Yeah, for sure. Adult conversations. Yeah. Matt K. How did a podcast full of comedians talking about the army not mention one of the greatest movies of all time in the army now? Well, I don't know about that. I'll be honest, I never saw that movie. I didn't feel like we got into a lot of comedy movies about the army though. Like Major Pain is a really good, I mean, I don't know what branch that is. That's like ROTC, but you know, I never saw In the Army Now. I do like some old school Paulie Shore movies, but I never saw that one. I don't know if I did either.

Me either. I think we'd have talked about Saving Private Ryan before we talked about In the Army Now. Are there other comedy army movies that you like? I mean there's a Good Morning Vietnam. That's a good one. I guess yeah. There's one with Goldie Hawn. It's very old. Stripes? No that's Bill Murray. Oh yeah. That yeah there's a good one. I'm sure there's a lot worth it. MASH. We could talk to a lot of mash. Yeah.

Somebody said Pat Morito was in mash. Oh, okay. Yep. Sorry, Matt. Okay. Sorry to let you down there, bud. Yeah. Justin Chambers, can we please add five minutes of a segment called,

we're having a bad time to each Nate land episode. That recent episode of Dusty's podcast was absolutely fantastic. Well, I appreciate that. Yeah, I mean, I, well, I think it's good. That's what happens to me when I get in a room alone. I just, I just. You don't have to be alone.

Yeah, I just like complaining about stuff. It's a, it's. Really? We're, we're, we're, we're like a clown show out here now Where everybody all come like there's so many comics. There's so many podcasts. There's so many stand-up clips It's just like funny funny funny funny funny. I'm like, hey, what about complaining a little bit? That's what I say that I love complaining in the world. No, I don't think so not legit complaints and that's what I said. That's enough complaining in the world. Nah, I don't think so. Not legit complaints.

And that's what I'm bringing. Okay. The real stuff. You come see me do comedy, you get real jokes. Listen to my podcast, you get real complaints. Are you going to write a book about gratitudes or something? Just kind of balance it out?

No, no, I think that's, I'm almost rebelling. Are you writing a book? Are you going to write a book? I am, I am writing a book. Nice. I am almost rebelling against- You're doing everything you were trashing Nate for doing, right? Yeah. I'm not trashing him.

Oh yeah. You're writing a book. I'm not trashing him. I know how much work goes into all these things. And I just, I mean, I feel like if I were selling out arenas, I'd be like, that's it. That's all I'm doing. But I don't know. I've seen you say that at every step of your career.

I don't want to leave the clubs. I think you have a little more ambition than you're letting on. That's okay. All I, I mean, I've gone about as high as I want to go. That's what I've said. You've said that before. That's it. I feel very good about what's happened.

Then why are you writing a book? Well, I got a book deal. I didn't You've said that before. I feel very good about what's happened. Why are you writing a book? Well, I got a book deal. I didn't want to do arenas, but they offered me the day. But you know, but it, thank you. But it is like, you know, that the thing about complaining is if you complain, people think you're not grateful. Correct.

And I'm rebelling against that notion because you can be grateful and I'm very grateful for all the things that I have, but that doesn't mean I can't complain about stuff. Sure. You know? Just having fun. Yeah. Complaining's fun. You know what'd be fun to do in your book is have your doodles all throughout it. Oh yeah. You know what I mean?

I would like to do that. That'd be kind of a fun little, uh, little Easter egg. Yeah. What's your book called? Uh, I don't know. It doesn't have a name yet. It's, uh, is it a mystery novel? It's not a novel, I'm guessing. No, it'll be a comedy book. Okay. Yeah. Like Dan Brown. I wanted, I actually want to write a more serious book, but, uh, you know, I'm a comedian, so I have to, so that's why I need you to do like, you're at some draw, like bogged down by the expectation to be funny.

I'm sick of being funny. No, I like it. I'm grateful that, but you know what else I've found? I've really leaned into AI in a way that I'm a bit ashamed of. And I've really leaned into AI in a way that I'm a bit ashamed of. But I found a song writing AI now. And so what I've been able to do is utilize it to help bring to life songs that I've written that I can't get other people to do for me. So I put the lyrics into this AI app, and I go through and I, I list off how I

want, you know, the song to sound and then it, it pumps it out. It turns it out. It's pretty cool, right? I, I listened. Now this, I got stopped on this. Eventually it caught on that I was using copyrighted lyrics, but I, but I'm only doing it to sound, I was listening to a radio head song and I said, this would be a really great, like folky country song.

Yeah. And so I put it into AI and it is a great folky country song. Cause I'm a creep. Well, creep has been done a bunch, but you don't hear other radio head songs. And because there are a little weird, but the lyrics themselves, I was like, oh, this would be a good country song. But yeah, so I'm just trying to express other creative things. But I'm all about comedy. What I want is a bunch of comedy albums.

That's what I want. I want to look back and go, look at all these albums I put out. Yeah, that's cool. But if they came to you and said, we're doing a remake of Joe Dirt, we want you to play Joe, would you do it? Yeah, of course. Come on. Yeah, that's that's what I was thinking. You said we're doing a remake of Joe dirt. We want you to play Joe Would you do it? Yeah, of course Come on. Well, yeah What is this fake hesitation? Yeah exactly talking about I mean, yeah, it's like that'd be hard to turn down

I don't think they're gonna do yeah. Well if they did it'd be awesome You want to know something interesting I read and I'm not saying saying stop using it, and I'm definitely not going to stop using it, but every chat GPT query, every query it processes, it uses one to three bottles of water to cool the servers. So every time you input anything into chat GPT, one to three bottles of water. Now I think they've got, they got a lot of water. They're doing it, but it's interesting.

That doesn't seem right. Well, they admit it. If you, if you, it's like, it's something they put out because they're like, we're working to decrease the amount of water that we use. That's too hot. It's real. I mean, they get, well, we're're tag those servers are every you're like if every everything we type in though it's like that seems like one to three on average per query one to three things a query anytime you give it anything so

any question I type in any even just saying thanks or something that to me makes it sound like climate change people being like stop stop getting all this help No killing the planet No, dude now. It's still it's like it's a really small percentage of Water you like if you look at like how much water? Google uses or Amazon uses to cool all their servers. It's a ton. What kind of water they use and can they use ocean water? It's no, I think it's freshwater that then just evaporates and then doesn't re-enter the This like it's like it can't be reused goes out outer space

Or just in the sky. I guess why can't they use ocean and other a chat GPT uses roughly Why can't they use ocean water? A chat GPT uses roughly 519 milliliters of water to write a 100 word email. That's so if you want a 100 word email, that's a little more than a bottle of water. I feel like AI just made this up. Why would AI make this up about itself? I don't know. I don't believe it though.

I just saw a story where I just, Elon Musk, whatever his AI company is, he's building the largest supercomputer maybe anywhere in Memphis. And it's already there, but it's putting out so much steam or whatever out in the environment that it's like making the air quality not good for the people who live around it. It just keeps adding up for Memphis. Yes. And the people they interviewed are in a very poor neighborhood and they're like, yeah, all these fumes and stuff coming from this gigantic plant.

Yeah. None of these people care about us. It's just interesting. I'm not saying don't use it, but it is interesting because I was using chat, TBT and I was like about to hit enter and I was like, do I want to. Just pour three waters, three bottles of water. It better be a good, like a well-worded question. Yeah.

And I hit enter. I'll tell you the last query that I sent to chat GBT was, uh, how would you describe the song ugly by Bubba Sparks? If you wanted to put that into a, an AI song creator. So I wasted three bottles of water on that and they sent me a lot of info. I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't like a six bottle. They got dehydrated. But man, I wrote a rap song 20 years ago and I have it written down and I put that into the thing

and it is hot. You gonna release it? I want to release a whole album. I'm gonna do a whole AI. I got so many poems I've written over the years Why's me working so hard? As soon as my rap album comes out, I'm tired But I'm saying this is stuff over the years that I've done, uh-huh, uh-huh that I can now bring to life Yeah, well you told me about I'd never even used

CHEDGBT but you're making these really great posters for your shows. Yeah, their posters are okay. I made a couple of really good ones but they're okay. Well, for me, who knows how to do nothing. Yeah. I went on and did it. Even I could do it. It's it's really, yeah, it's really nice. Yeah. Alright. Uh I wanna also say happy birthday Dusty. Oh, thank you. Oh. We're all now ten years apart again. Oh, I want to also say happy birthday, Dusty. Oh, thank you. Appreciate that. We're all now 10 years apart again.

All right. I don't believe in birthdays. I don't really either. Yeah, who knows? Your mom could be lying to you that that was the day. Well, she could be. Nobody knows. The hospital's in on it, too.

I feel like, I mean, we're all 10 years apart. Going from two to three, that's an easy one. Like for me, I was 52, I was still in my early 50s. Go to 53, still in my early 50s. It's those other milestones a little bit harder. You guys agree or you may not care? I've not reached a place where I care about age at all yet. I mean, maybe I'll get there, but I, you know,

I notice there are certain things because I hang out with a lot of comics. So I think hanging out with comics keeps you young because they're always, you know, new comics are always entering in. So there's always younger people that you're hanging around, but you hear all the references and stuff and it's all different. But I have noticed, you know, a few things here and there where I'm like, Oh, I'm, I'm much older than these guys.

I was thinking, like, I consider Aaron a good friend, but we're 20 years apart in age. This is the only time in our life that it would have even been appropriate for us to be friends. I mean, when I was 33, your age, and you were 13. Yeah, I don't think we would have crossed paths much. Probably not gonna hang out a lot if we do some people are gonna be concerned You've been in comedy for ten years Almost ten years. Yeah, so you were 23 when you started 23 And I was 43 even then it's a little weird if you were 43 when you started comedy. No, I'm sorry I was when I started. Okay, but I never I never thought of it as weird

Because it's like they well, you're mature beyond your age. I would say I'm probably thanks immature But it works out well, I mean, you know, I had a got married late in life all that So I'm living the life of a much younger person. There are a lot of comics that are like they're in their 40s You're like geez, dude a lot of comics that are like they're in their forties and you're like, jeez, dude, what are your forties? I just want to, what do you mean? Like, what do you mean? Like they seem so immature.

Oh, yeah. They're not together at all. Oh yeah. Yeah, for sure. I mean, but yeah, yeah, you can find those people in every, you can find them anywhere. But yeah, I mean, yeah, it's like, not that I got everything figured out, but it's like, you know what I mean. I do know what you mean.

And it's like, I feel like, you know, I don't feel like I'm getting old. I do feel like I'm like growing up. You know, I have kids now and I'm, I have a house and I have other things I'm taking care of. Right. But it feels, still feels, you know, cool to just hang out here.

Yeah. You know, I got fun, you know, post show hangs that I'm doing all over the country, but also at Zany's every time I do my show. And it's it's great. Yeah. You know, I try this as a joke. I feel like I'm the age I can understand both sides. Like, I can understand why somebody might go out on a Tuesday night, you know, but also age I can understand both sides. Like, I can understand why somebody might go out on a Tuesday night, you know, but also understand I don't see that well at night. So I understand both sides, you know, when you're middle age. So anyway, yeah, that's about how that joke went when I tried it. But anyway, well, happy birthday. Thank you. Anyway, well happy birthday. Thank you.

Devon Lee Johnson, Aaron deserves a shout out from the ladies for not only without hesitation knowing the contents of the best day, but also for saying it's a great song on the pod. Give this man his props. I appreciate it. Devon Lee Johnson.

It is a good song. Is that the Taylor Swift song? It is, yeah. It's an old, it's from like old, long time ago. Oh, okay. So maybe it does have something that's good about it. It is. It's just that it's a reflection on her relationship with her mom and how her mom was, you know, she'd get in a fight with her friends at school and then her mom would, you know, take her out for like a girls' day and then she got a couple lines about her dad and her brother in there, too

It's just like good song about her family. It's great. I Don't know if it was ever like a big radio hit but that was it's one of my favorites of hers from way back in the day I Don't I don't know that all the ladies are giving you a shout out on it though, but you think I think most are yeah It's a good song Nikki Whitley, in Illinois. How many likes did this comment get? From the ladies. Well, what's the, what's the, I'm just making a joke. What's the implication? Well, she says Aaron deserves a shout out from

the ladies. So. Is Devon a she, you think? I think so. I don't know, could be either. Devin Lee, I don't know the combination sounds. Mm-hmm. But David Lee. Yes, David Lee Murphy, David Lee Roth, David Lee Nelson. I know a lot of David Lee's. Nikki Whitley, in Illinois if you live trap a skunk you were supposed to destroy it since it's considered a nuisance animal I've live trapped four in the last year, but I drive them far away and release them Which is how I got sprayed in the eye no less a couple of months ago and for the record They say the skunk spray has the same chemical makeup as pepper spray and I believe it it was excruciating. Wow, that's tough And I believe it. It was excruciating. Jeez, that's tough.

Well, thank you for that, Nikki. They finished up today. We wrapped up the whole- Just today? Well, they came last week. They trapped the mother skunk. They pulled out four babies. There's a photo of one of them.

Look at that thing, man. Very cute. That's the baby. That's one of the babies, yeah. Now, do they have the ability to spray you at that age or does that come with puberty? He said, I didn't get close to it, but just to be safe, but he said that at that age, they don't know how to spray.

Oh, they have to be taught how. Or they just, it's like races. Maybe they just mature. That's deep, Aaron. Well, isn't that not they always say kids. I don't know why I jumped there, but that is beautiful. Yeah. Yeah.

Like anything you learn. Like the alphabet. Yeah. All right. All right. Anyway, they removed, uh, four scots, uh, five scots, a mom and four babies, and then today they finished up by sealing some stuff up so they can't get underneath there at all.

Hopefully that problem resolved. That guy drove away and strangled that thing to death. You ever think about that? He killed that thing as soon as he left your property. I don't know what he did with them. I didn't talk to you about it at all. I asked him, I said, what do you do now? He said, we take them far away.

But he didn't say what you about it. I asked him, I said, what do you do now? He said, we take them far away. Yeah. He didn't say what he did. That seems intense. I think. I don't think he actually straightened it. I think they have a way to dispose of them humanely. I don't. I mean, yeah, probably. But I like to think that, yeah, just take them out to the woods. I hope they did.

Or they put them in another house to drum up business around the neighborhood. Yeah. That's what I would do. It's like, take them out to the woods. Build them a little hut and, you know, let them live out their days. Yeah. Jared Harris used to have a bit about, he owned a pressure washing company. He's like, it's hard work having the number one pressure washing company in Atlanta,

you know, all day pressure washing, all night spray painting. All night spray painting. And... scoose? You think? And scoose! Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo-Scoo- the episode. I doubt it. Aaron reading from the army application asked, how long can you hold a plank? Dusty replied, how big's the plank? All right, that's pretty good. Now that's funny. Some of the offhand comments made by all of you are often overlooked but much appreciated. Love you guys. Yeah and that was even, well I don't want to ruin, I feel like that was even a bit of a Bible joke there too, you know. That was talking about removing the plank from your own eye oh okay nice see how long that's why we brush over stuff sorry it's a good it's a double and double week I retract my

statement now and scoops gets it scoops scoops skip ahead a little bit that's the the second time we've skipped that. We'll get to it. We'll get to it. Travis White, Dusty's Cracker Barrel order is my exact Cracker Barrel order. We're having a good time. Your order in the commercial or in real life? I don't know what he's referring to. You last week said dumplings with hash brown casserole.

That's what he's talking about. Okay. That's a good order. That's a good order. That's a good order. Aaron J thank you Dusty for speaking the truth about leaving reviews. I'm so confused every time Aaron says he doesn't leave an accurate review of terrible experiences. That's what reviews are for. That's what I'm talking about Aaron J. Yeah you at least got to let the company know that the guy smells real bad. Yeah, maybe. I just think if you, if you have a job like this, like, uh, I'll never

leave a bad review for a restaurant or something, because I know I just won't leave a good review. But I think these people, their job depends on, like, their review's important. And I don't want to be the guy that actually affects somebody's business and how they put food on their table and, you know, support their family or whatever. So this guy smells really bad, but I'm not trying to take money from the guy's pocket. Right? But leave him five-star review, say, I really like this guy, but somebody needs to let him know that he smells bad. Yeah, well I think I would have done that

if I knew that was an option. I've never seen an option to leave a custom comment like that, you know, but next time I'll do that. I think, yeah. I'm just not trying to bring somebody's rating down when it actually matters to their life, unless they, I don't know, unless they were. Is there a reckless driver? Yeah. Or something that was actually bad. I think smelling bad is worse than being a reckless driver. I'd rather get to my destination alive.

You know what I mean? Well, I don't mean wreck. I don't mean wreck, but I wreck less. I've been in a wreck. To me reckless driver says you're driving crazy, but you don't wreck. You're reckless, right? You're reckless. Reckless. Right? Yeah. Without wreck. Yeah. Wreckful driver. Yeah. What you should worry about. You're wild, but there's no wreck. Diana Williams. Someone tell Dusty that all trampolines are too dangerous. Even those with fencing not worth the fun.

Tell Diana to loosen up a pit. I'm with you, Diana. Not worth the fun. Woo. That is a reckless driver right there. Isn't it Diana? Come on. I've been injured on a, I chipped the fun. That is a reckless driver right there. Isn't it Diana? Come on. I've been injured on a, I chipped the tooth.

I had to go to the dental emergency room, but I never thought. Never did it once cross my mind that it wasn't worth it. Diana's driving 10 and two, boy. 10 and two, five under. She does the turn signals with her hand up the window. Well, it sounds like Diana had a something happened to her. She cuts the hazards on. I've been using the hazards to thank people.

Have you? It's fun. What, what do you mean? Somebody lets you in, throw the hazards on. That's what this that's a thing. I'm doing it. The way that we used to do it, we turn the lights on and off. Like that's a car problem.

Like if you, if somebody lets you in, you can turn the lights on your car on and off because that blinks the rear views. Yeah, I just go, they let me in, I merge in, hit it. One, two, three, turn it off. How about just wave? Say thank you. Maybe it's nighttime, Brian. You know what I mean?

Now they're like, great, I let this guy in front of me. Now he's got car problems. So I don't... Ah, the guy with an emergency. Come on. He's about to... Come on, they know what I mean. Who is this?

Diana? And you should know this. I think that that's common in Japan. I think that's how they do it in Japan. They're very deferential. I wouldn't know it meant thank you. Cause the. What would you think it meant?

You do somebody a favor and then they flash the hazards for two seconds. What do you, what do you think they're trying to communicate? I wouldn't know because truck drivers will blink their lights. That's what they do, to say thank you. To flash their light. Like if you let them in, they turn their lights on and off because it lights up the back ones. Well, how would you know what that meant?

I just think that is what people know. Well, then I feel like the hazard light is the same thing. I feel like if somebody does the hazards at me. Would you know if somebody blinked their lights at you like that? Well, he's not letting people in on that road. I would think, Oh, I better slow down. There's a cop ahead. If they're flashing lights, I'm talking about like we're in traffic, you know,

and, and the lanes are zippering down to one and somebody lets you in. I'll throw the hazards on for three seconds. Give them three blinks. Thank you, buddy. And then I think horns should have different sounds for different occasions. Yeah. Appreciate it. So yeah, something like that.

Yeah. Like that, that, that was easy button, you know, should be one like that. Thank you. What would you want? You get, you get three phrases that you can communicate through a horn. What do you want to say? You got to have one aggressive one. Yeah. One aggressive one like go or, or all minor aggressive. Go, come on. What are you doing? That's what I want. What are you doing?

It's like a radio preset. You can do whatever you want. I would, one would say go say go one would say sorry. I have a sorry button and one would say thank you. I don't think I'd use it that much but there are times where I want to go die. That was my bad. Yeah. I'd be at the go go go go go go go go. Soon as it turns green. Yeah. No, you know, my sorry is the way I go. That is my bad. God, I want him to but I wouldn't give it to him on a button.

Okay. I just had one where I'm in a parking lot. There's one space open beside me. I'm trying to get my daughter out of her car seat and she's not cooperating. So I'm standing there leaning over for a while. There's a car waiting to pull into that spot. I don't know how long I've been waiting,

but time I get her out, you know, he's just sitting there waiting. And you know, I was like, Oh, sorry about that. That's one where, uh, I don't guess I would have been honking. Maybe he should have honked at me. Excuse me. I'm just saying it happens. Yeah, it happens.

Uh, coy Adkins, coy y'all should do a Patreon where you only cover the stuff that dusty says if I have a theory, I'll tell you after the pod. We'd have to do a different service than Patreon. Yeah, come on, Koi. I like that idea though. They're about to be rumble. I have my own podcast though, Koi, and I get into some stuff sometimes. I have a separate one. The Dusty Slay podcast.

The We're Having a Good Time podcast. I kept that name. I said I was going to change it, but so far I'm still the We're Having a good time podcast. And now I finally am uploading video. I've talked about it for years. You considered the, we're having a bad time podcast, right? I've considered a lot of names. Even the, we're having a good time question mark podcast. We're having a good time. I like that.

Yeah, I like that too. Nick Alexander, I got a CPAP today. Yes, sir. I want to know if Aaron or breakfast had any tips for me. I'm excited to get some restful sleep. It took a long time to get diagnosed with sleep apnea because I'm healthy and in shape, whatever it is, dude. You need to rub that in.

Yeah. I don't want to help you now. Yeah. Sounds like you got it all figured out, Nick. Yeah. Good luck with your health. Well, sounds like you should. all figured out, Nick. Yeah. Good luck with your health. Well, I don't. Be in shape and stuff.

Sounds like you should, yeah, I mean. Here's one. Breathe, you know what I mean? One drawback for me, wearing the CPAP, and you can see it, I often have red right here, because the mask, if I don't put on like lotion or something. It'll get in there and irritate the skin. It'll irritate the skin,

and that's why I'll have redness there a lot of times. So there's one. I got a lot of, I got a lot of tips. You got to develop a nighttime routine. Put it on when you want to go to bed and you can kind of train your body to be like, and you don't want it, cause I'll fall asleep.

I'll forget about it and fall asleep without it. And then the whole day shot. So you need to just make sure you do it every time, use it every time, take it on the road with you. Brian doesn't like to do that, but I think you got to use it all the time, anytime you sleep or else it doesn't, you're not doing anything. So what Dusty says is not even real. So I'm kind of just hedging my bets, playing the middle. That's fake air that it's shooting in. Dusty checked out there for a second. Yeah, I mean you guys are talking about CPAPs and I started, I stopped breathing. You can't be interested in anything unless it's about you for a second. Well, I stopped breathing while you were doing it.

Do you change your parts right here? Imagine if I tapped out whenever I wasn't interested in something we were talking about. No, no. It's not about not being interested. You think I would have lasted our four hour gardening episode if I didn't pretend a little bit? You know what I mean? We're doing a collaborative podcast. Well, yeah, but you're not, we're not a feign interest a little bit. We're not doing a podcast about CPAPs. The guy asked if you and Brian have advice and then you are giving your advice.

I don't wear one. So then what's your role in that moment? Uh, to go, uh, go, Oh yeah, it's really improving their lives. I can see it. They come in and I can always tell when they've not had their CPAPs in because they'll be a little crankier than normal. Oh, you don't have to lie and be sarcastic.

And I gotta tell ya, I don't even have CPAP, man. I've wanted a CPAP. This is not an ad read. I just want, And that is true. I just want a weird one in the car. I want a CPAP. This is not an ad read. I just want to wear one in the car. I want a CPAP for the car. If you sleep in the car, you should wear it. That's all I'm saying.

I plug it into the old cigarette lighter and keep it going. Do you change your parts like you're supposed to? Like they recommend? I never clean them. I never do anything. Yeah. My favorite part about a CPAP is mold. I like to breathe in a little black mold. Yeah. My favorite part about a CPAP is mold. I like to breathe in a little black mold. Well, black mold, not just for

the shower anymore. I'm breathing in less mold than you. Probably. Yeah, I got a there's a filter on that thing. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I built my bed frame out of mold. Old moldy wood. Yeah. I mean, I built my bed frame out of mold. Old moldy wood. Well, Nick. He looks mattress. Good luck, Nick.

Yeah, Nick. I mean, this is the, you know, this is the next step of the, a beautiful chapter in your life. Yeah, just stop breathing. You know what I mean? Like, end it, let it go. Yeah, say end it. But I'll say, hey Nick, don't expect a, some people do, but don't expect immediate euphoria of like, oh, everything's different. That doesn't happen for everybody. It's hard to get used to wearing that thing. It might be a gradual thing,

but you're going to get to a point where you can't sleep without it. But don't expect it to be like a, you'll wake up the first day like, oh my goodness, I can see the world. Everything's in color. Yeah. That just doesn't happen for everybody. But God bless you.

Well this week you know we're doing all the states we've been doing this for years now. Yeah. So we tailored a topic that'll keep Dusty engaged. I look at Dusty's schedule and see where he's going to be. Yeah. And I'm like, well, what else are we going to talk about Vermont? There you go. Vermont.

I'll be there this weekend. Burlington, Vermont. They have four shows. The Burlington Comedy Club, maybe the Vermont Comedy Club. I think it's the Vermont Comedy Club. I've never been to Vermont. Never been there, never been to the club, never been to the state. I've never been, have you ever been?

Never been, know very little about it. What's- Well, I was gonna ask you, what do you guys think of when you think of Vermont? Think of Bernie Sanders. Yeah. He's kind of the guy. People have emailed me a little bit. I like to think that it's very nice, very

green, very pleasant. Yes. I look forward to it. I'm made by property while I'm there and move there. I'm already considering it. Really? Just sounds lovely to me. It does sound... I think of snow, I think of skiing. Mountains. I'm already considering it. Really? Just sounds lovely to me. It does sound, I think of snow, I think of skiing. Mountains. I think of fall foliage. Yeah. And I think of maple syrup. There you go. Maple syrup. Vermont maple syrup. What, Dusty? That makes me, you know, I just want to, uh, Brian is like a grandma just trying to have a nice Thanksgiving dinner. is like a grandma, just trying to have a nice Thanksgiving dinner. The beautiful fall foliage. I just think of the leaves changing and maple syrup. Well, Dusty, get out and experience nature sometimes.

Jeez. All right. Let's get into Vermont. Let's do it. What does it call? What's the nickname of the state? Vermont. I don't think I have that. You know what I mean? I have, well, I have a, I don't think I have the slogan or the name. The Green Mountain State. Okay. So the word Vermont translates to Green Mountain in French. Wow. It's beautiful. Les Monts Vut.

So... Lesves les monts. The population of Davidson County, Nashville, 715,000. The whole state of Vermont, 642,000. That's what I'm talking about. It's the next least populous state. Only less populous is Wyoming. Probably Alaska too, right?

Well, Alaska probably per capita maybe, but Alaska I think so big, it's got more people. Ah, let's look that up. I mean, 740,000. All right. Vermont. I just looked it up. Vermont, I think I just made it up. Very small though too, right?

Yeah, I think so. Vermont's a very small state. Yeah. So I'm not saying per square mile or whatever, but just total people. The state capital, anybody know? Burlington? I have no idea. I guess.

That's the only city. Can you name another city in Vermont besides? Vermont City. Is there a Vermont? There's probably a Springfield in there. Probably is. Montpelier. Montpelier.

It's the smallest state capital in the U.S. 8,000 people. I don't know. Let me look that up real quick. Juno. What is it? Anchorage? Juno is the... Oh yeah. Montpelier. It's the smallest state capital in the US. 8,000 people. I don't know. Let me look that up real quick for you. Juno or what is it? Anchorage? Juno's the, yeah. Juno, yeah.

It's the only state capital that doesn't have a McDonald's. Oh. Vermont gets better and better all the time. You're gonna just stay. They also don't have a Starbucks, Burger King, or Walmart. Wow, the whole state? They, well, at least Montpelier, they try to prioritize local businesses over large chains.

Man. I love this place. Yeah. Um, sometimes you just want a Walmart though, dude. Sometimes you need a Walmart. I'm anti Walmart these days. I will go sometimes you have to go, but yeah, that's how principles work. But I may you have them till you know, I'm, I'm anti it though.

It's like you go to some, because that's the problem. Walmart moves into these small towns over time. All the other businesses shut down because Walmart prices them out. And then you end up in that town and you're like, Oh, well, I have to go to Walmart. That's the only place I can go to get these things. Look, I agree with you. Let me play devil's advocate here. If you owned a mom and pop that sold, I don't know,

if you owned a store, what would you sell? Like gardening supplies, stuff like that. Okay, Walmart comes in, everything's cheaper. What would your competitive advantage be? How would you differentiate yourself from Walmart? I would try customer service. Well, there you go. But people-

You would try to compete. Michael Scott paper-cutting. You would try to compete and I'm sure that. I want to get more. I'm sure that people do try to compete. Right? I'm not saying, I'm not saying they're, they're good all the time. I, I complain all the time about mom and pop coffee shops on the road.

I'll go there and then I'll go, you're not being very nice to me. Yeah. And at least they'll be nice to me at Starbucks, you know, but- They're nice to you at Walmart. It depends on where you're at. That's true. But yeah, it's like, it would just be nice if, uh, you know, a lot of cities fight back about it.

I mean, and when I lived in Charleston on James Island, they had a regular Walmart and Walmart wanted to build a super center, but they wanted to abandon the old Walmart and build a new one. And they signed a petition and we fought back against it so that that they actually had to remodel the existing Walmart and make it a super Walmart. Rather than wasting more space. Is it by law these things aren't in there or they just why why aren't they there? Well I think yeah I guess it's by a wall.

Because I don't know could you just ban a company from coming to your city? I think you can reject it. Yeah also they get why like well a lot of the a lot of places will give Walmart a bunch of tax credits to come in so like say you want to open a business and you got to pay all these different fees and then they'll they'll cut the fees for Walmart. Cause they'll go Walmart, Walmart goes, we'll come in. We'll give 3000 jobs to the community. And they go, we'll waive, we'll waive the registration fees. Whereas other people trying to open a business that would give some jobs.

They go, we're not gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna pay the full, the full fees. So if the government, if you have good government, if that exists, it would be nice if they go, hey, you know, we got a lot of local people here. We like them, we want them to be business owners and not just employees. We're not gonna let you come here. So this is a policy decision by the state government that we're not gonna give tax credits.

We're not gonna incentivize those big companies to come in and open up shop. Well, the ones I, the one I referenced was just for my pill. You're, I don't know about the whole state, but, uh, that was just this, but that is the state capital and there is no billboards in the entire state. I do like that. When, uh, when you go to an area and there's an ordinance, I never knew I loved Vermont so much.

I hope it's good. I hope I enjoy. They banned billboards in 1968 preserve its scenic beauty and rural character. Wow. Great news. There's nothing these days says America like pulling off the interstate and just getting billboards all across the sky. Free markets, jobs, opportunities, all that's pretty scary, huh? Well, you just said you didn't like that they don't have billboards.

This is what being engaged in a podcast sounds like. No, but it's like- I'm just shooting a breeze. You play devil's advocate now. About what? I just thought you wouldn't even get on board with that term. I'm just saying it's beautiful when you get off somewhere and you can see trees and not just signs for McDonald's and Burger King.

Absolutely. It's, you know, for sure. It's so nice. It is. There are six Walmarts in Vermont, which that's so few. I feel like there's six in a two mile radius of my house here. That's really six in the whole state. That's awesome.

Burlington is the largest city, 45,000. It's the smallest, largest city of any state. Does that make sense? Yes. Yeah. So it became a state. I guess New York was a colony and they gave some land grants to New Hampshire, but then some other people came in and tried to claim it. So the Green Mountain Boys, a militia group, they protected it and kept it for them. I love that. And they were a militia group and they fought to preserve it and then it became a state. It was originally called the Republic of New Connecticut. And then they changed it to Vermont.

The hard part for me is when I see a beautiful place in the country, I just get overwhelming sadness because I know that they're going to ruin it. Who? The people that ruin everything. Save that for we're having a bad time podcast. You just go somewhere and you go, this is amazing. And then you go, but they haven't yet. The corporations are coming.

They're coming, but they're fighting the good fight. It's the leader, leading producer of maple syrup in the United. You laughed at me, but did you guys not know that or? No, I didn't. I love maple syrup and I like fall foliage. Over half. Just think it's funny that you said it. Two things. They have great cribbage. Over half. But I just think it's funny that you said it. Two things I think.

They have great cribbage there. You know I love leaves. I know you do. I'm a leaf guy. You can bring some home. Over half of the maple syrup in the United States is produced in Vermont. Wow. Wow.

They also grow a lot of apples. Third largest contributor is apples. Macintosh apples in particular. Macintosh. You think you could pick out a Macintosh apple? No. Me either. Not unless it has a bite taken out of it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's good. I didn't even get it. Ben and Jerry's started in Vermont. Burlington, Vermont. Founded in 1978. Went from a single ice cream parlor

to a multinational brand. I think Ben and Jerry's has changed a little bit, but for a long time, Ben and Jerry's, I think, was one of the healthier ice creams. There's, I mean, it's definitely not now. I'm not saying any ice cream is healthy, but I'm saying they were using less harsh chemicals, like less, like I love Bluebell.

I would never trash Bluebell, but they got some, they got a few ingredients that are, that I'm not into. All right. Dusty, I want you to do, you're there for two days. Yeah. I want you to go do one. I know you don't like to get, get out and do much, but I want you to go do one of these things I'm going to talk about on today's podcast and report back to us. Maybe go to Ben and I know you don't like to get out and do much, but I want you to go do one of these things I'm gonna talk about on today's podcast

and report back to us. Maybe go to Ben and Jerry's. That sounds like a pretty. That sounds up my alley. You're just not what you're doing. So. You get a Ben and Jerry's flavor named after you? I mean, I do love Ben and Jerry's.

I mean, ice cream is a real weakness for me. I love ice cream. Lake Champlain, let me say that right, has a lake monster called Champ or Champy. And it's kind of like the Loch Ness monster and people have claimed to seen it. They were filming a movie recently about the movie, about the monster and drone footage. You can really see something following the boat. Wow. Look at this picture of it right there. That looks just like the Loch Ness, except maybe his head's turning. It does.

And he's wearing a scarf. It's cold. So maybe go to Lake Champlain, see if you see. Just take a look. Champy. What do you think that is, Dusty? Well, what is it, you know, in the Bible, there's two animal, Behemoth and what is the other that's described? Goliath. Over the years, there's been over 300 reporting sightings. I think it's whatever the sea monster one is.

Okay. The original stories are related to the Iroquois legends of giant snakes, which the Mohawk named something, Anyarikoa. So, that's exciting. Yeah, I mean, see the Native American people are always talking about seeing giants and things like this. And we, you know, we're all out here respecting the Native Americans, but when it comes to that, everybody goes, ah, no, they didn't see no giants. And I think they did.

That's a pretty good photo right there. You really can't trust any photos anymore. Well, yeah. Unless you already had them prior to this AI stuff. It's like, well, Photoshop's been around for a while. Photoshop. Yeah. But even then I feel like you could put Photoshop under some type of filter and

could tell whether it was Photoshopped or not with AI it's like there's things you can look for. It's getting harder and harder. Yeah. The largest professional sports team is the Vermont Lake Monsters named after champ there of a future future collegiate baseball league based in Burlington. Yeah. Name and their mascot is champ, the Lake Monster. I like that.

Yeah. Smuggler's Notch. There's Champ right there. Yeah. Look at Champ. He looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle a little bit. That's a good looking mascot. With the little thing around his eyes.

Yeah. It's funny how they always wear shirts, never pants. Leviathan. Leviathan, yeah. shirts, never pants. Leviathan. Leviathan, yeah. Yeah, there you go. So in 1807, President Jefferson passed an embargo forbidding American trade with Great Britain and Canada. And it was really hard on people in Vermont because Montreal was closer to them than any

US market. So they continued to do it and they went through Smuggler's Notch. It's a narrow pass through the Green Mountains and they would keep doing trade with Canada, herd cattle and other things like that. And now it's a resort. Yeah. And a lake. That's really cool. You can still get out there. Yeah, and a state park. Yeah. It's got ski resorts and everything around there. Yeah. That's awesome. Smuggler's notch.

We love talking about our Helix mattresses. I've had my Helix mattress almost three years now. Nate's parents just got one and they love it. Another one? They, they just got, yeah. They keep getting them. They keep getting them. They love it.

Why not? They're great. Yeah. As a magician, he makes them disappear. Nate's dad said it helps with his sleep apnea. We all have a Helix mattress and we all love it. We do love it. They're good mattresses, good pillows, fun to unbox. You know, it comes in a, you know, a little roll and then you cut the wrapping off and it just inflates. Like a life wrap.

It's pretty amazing. It improves how I sleep. Everyone knows I love their pillows. We talk about that all the time, but it has helped with my sleep. I'm getting better sleep. Aaron's getting better sleep and Brian's getting better sleep.

My old mattress was one of those springs. I finally realized how bad it was for sleep. My mattress was so bad and old that when I threw it away, I threw it away in a dumpster and it folded in half. I have a whole joke about that on my YouTube channel. Helix fixes that issue. It's called, I think it's called new mattress. Helix fixes that issue. It's called, I think it's called new mattress. Helix fixes that issue. It's great for hot sleepers, people with back pain, snores, and sleep apnea. It's for everyone.

All right, Dusty, the world's tallest filing cabinet is in Burlington.

Okay. 38 drawers tall. Wow. That's the tallest, huh? What are they? Wow. Look at that. What are they keeping there? Go check it out.

Uh, I don't know. I think it was just an art sculpture, but it's at a Guinness World Record. Some homeless guy left a shopping cart there. Didn't really give birth to a lot of other stuff around there, it looks like. Dusty, I want you to go to that filing cabinet and take a picture. That, yeah, I mean I'm the most interested in going to that filing cabinet. Okay, all right. Let's talk about some famous people from Vermont. Now you've already named the only one that I could associate with Vermont. Bernie Sanders.

Yeah. Could you name anybody else from there? No, you know, President Bartlett from the West Wing is from New Hampshire and And they talk about Vermont a lot. But no, I can't think of anybody. I'm sure I've heard of people. I just don't know that they're from Vermont. The band FISH is from Vermont. Oh, okay. That doesn't surprise me. Yep. Yep. A lot of famous people were born in Vermont

and then moved not long after that. Two presidents were born in Vermont. President Chester Arthur and Calvin Coolidge. Two of the big ones. Calvin Coolidge though, very big. I'm not kidding, Dusty. The world's tallest filing cabinet is 1.7 miles from the club. Wow.

It's a six minute drive. I'd be like, you gotta go check it out. All right. Report back. Let us know. Is it that tall? How far is that? Lake?

Yeah, Lake Champlain. Let us know. Is that tall? How far is that? Lake? Yeah. Lake Champlain. Lake Champlain. That's going to be an hour and a half. And you got to go. Yeah. You're going to have a car? Is it not just that big lake right there? I don't know why it's making you go all the way around here on Google. I think that's the lake. You can see it on your window.

Yeah. You'll see it from your... Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's even closer. Yeah. You might see Champ. Yeah. If you want to get a good view of it, I guess. Yeah Yeah, that's even closer. Yeah, you might see champ Yeah, if you want to get a good view of it, I guess you got to go all the way around You got to go across it first before you see it. What about Ben and Jerry's?

So I guess I'll just look these things up. But yeah, look up. I mean, I guess there's multiple Ben and Jerry's but Ben and Jerry's the original Ben and Jerry's maybe chocolate chip cookie dough and the peanut butter cup Ben and Jerry's, uh, the original Ben and Jerry's maybe chocolate chip cookie dough and the peanut butter cup Ben and Jerry's unbelievable. Yeah. Strawberry cheesecake. It's great. They probably just needed a point somewhere for people.

Yeah. It actually sent us to New York across the lake. But if you want to stay on the Vermont side, you're pretty good in Burlington. That's right. Okay. Perfect. You can just check it out. Yeah. I want to see it. I want, I want to have a cigar out. See, I feel like Vermont's going to bet's where they're going to, that's where they're going to come down on me. I feel like they're going to be like, no smoking here, buddy. But I'd like to go sit out by the lake and see if I can see that. You're going to

see the price of all these other things that you like about the state so much. You may have to go to New York. Sure. If you want to smoke a cigar wherever you want, you got to have a Burger King sign up there. You know, that's the give and take. Well, that is, yeah. I mean, but I don't know. We'll see. I'm kidding. Do you think they have a Cracker Barrel? I don't know. I don't know why they wouldn't, but... Well, they don't like...

Once you get too far north, it's hard to find a lot of Cracker Barrels. Not a single location in Vermont. I bet they've been seeing my commercial though. I Bet they're building one. Yeah, the you know, Salt Lake City is not a very smoker friendly place, but I still set out Behind my hotel and had a cigar and no one bothered me. That's good. You know, yeah, I like Salt Lake City because it's a big city but yet it's not as congested and just. Just very nice. It's filled with good people. Yeah. Yeah. So, all right. Some other famous people from Vermont. John Deere. Oh. He was born in Vermont. I think he quickly moved but. I don't know if I knew that was a real guy. Yeah.

Nothing runs like a deer. That's what they say. It sounds like he got right up out of there. Ha ha ha ha ha. I don't know. Wilson's the kingpin. You never seen the old clip baseball clip of the guy in the Red Sox gets a home run and he's he's doing this. He's trying to say he's saying stay fair, stay fair. You've never seen that? No. That's Carlton Fisk. Pudge. Yeah, Pudge. Brigham Young and Joseph Smith, both born in Vermont.

I'll be a wise guy, May 16th, too late for that. But that's kind of crazy, right? Different cities, just both born there and move soon after. Damon Wayans Jr. Born in Vermont. The Wayans? Yeah, at least he was. And then Bernie Sanders was not born

in Vermont, but he spent most of his adult life there, which for him that's a long time. He was mayor of Burlington. I think I knew that. For eight years. But he's the only person I could have associated with Vermont. Yeah. I didn't know Fish was from there. He's there, Dolly Parton. You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm trying to think of the most signature person from each state. Which we always- And I think for better or worse, I think Dolly Parton is Tennessee.

I think you're right. And I think, and we've talked about this in the podcast, there's two things you have to distinguish. Is it the most famous person to those people who live there or is it to the average person would they know they're from there? You know what I mean? Like Tom Cruise is from what?

Syracuse. Syracuse, yeah. But nobody knows that. Right, right. So you gotta like associate. Well, Dolly Parton has Dolly Wood. Dolly Parton, yes. And Gatlinburg is a major Tennessee spot.

Yeah. I would agree Dolly Parton. The other two famous people from Tennessee are also claimed by other states. Oprah. Yeah, yeah. And she's claimed by like three States and Elvis. Yeah.

And Elvis, I think of him, isn't it? Made in Mississippi. He was born in Mississippi. Born in Mississippi. But Graceland's in Memphis. Yeah. But Memphis is barely hanging on. Yeah.

You know what I mean? It's. But if you talk about famous Tennesseans, people will often say Elvis. Yeah. And, uh, just kidding about that, by the way. Yeah. Well, because that super computer. I got no laugh when I said that. Well, I was just thinking about the supercomputer being built there.

Yeah. And you said it and I thought, well, that's going to be tough. About all that fresh water being used. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, one other thing I thought of for Vermont, the TV show New Heart was based in Vermont, Bob Newhart, Bob Newhart.

He had two shows, the Bob Newhart show where he was a psychiatrist. And you can talk about him freely now because you've already killed him. Okay. Uh, I guess that's true. Uh, and then the show Newhart where he ran a bed and breakfast. Oh, never heard of this show. Are you serious? Yeah, I've never heard of it.

Both in Vermont. When was this on? Uh, no, no, no. The first one wasn't, but the second one about the bed and breakfast was set and it's shot real life, way bearing in at least. 1982 to 1990. I've never heard of this. It was a great show.

I thought we've talked about it on the podcast. It has one of the best endings to any show ever. It was on for- Oh. Have you ever heard, this is Darrell, my brother Darrell, my other brother Darrell? That's from New Heart. But the ending is Bob Newhart waking up in bed. He's like, oh my gosh, I just had the worst nightmare ever or worst dream. I dreamed those blah, blah, blah. And he turns to tell his wife and she turns the light on, it's his wife from his first show, his first sitcom.

So the joke is obviously, it was just all a dream, you know, and he's still, that's a great- Was the whole show kind of slapstick like that? Like just kind of- I don't think so, but I mean, Newhart was so funny, dry. That's what people thought would be a great ending to Breaking Bad, if he woke up as the Malcolm in the Middle dad. That would be a great ending to Breaking Bad if he woke up as the Malcolm in the Middle Dad. That would be a different take. Had the weirdest dream.

But yeah, Newhart was great. Had Tom Poston, I think. I can't remember who else. Mary Fran. I've seen the bed and breakfast one a bit, and yeah, it's funny. Bob Newhart was very funny. Yeah. I remember on the- I had a couple of Bob Newhart albums. Stand up albums.

He's so funny. I remember one of the therapists, the first one where he was a psychiatrist, I guess, and this patient leaves the office, and he's like, remember, you just, you've gotta be more decisive in your life. And then the elevator and two doors open at the same time, the guy has to make a decision which one to go. It's a funny scene.

Yeah. Yeah. Our new heart was great. Yeah, it was. I probably should have read that comment that I skipped because we went through Vermont a little faster than I thought. That's all right. Let's read it now.

That's no disrespect to Vermont. There's a very popular podcast in Vermont called Rumble Strip. It focuses on society and culture. Rumble? Rumble Strip. Oh, okay. And it covers true life, road crew workers,

farmers, Texas. I need to reach out to them. I got, cause my first two, my early shows in Vermont are sold out, but the late shows are not. So we got to get those. Do you think Rebel Strip would have a working man on? I think so. Yeah.

All right. So Dusty, what are you going to do when you're in Vermont? Well, you know, I just, when I go to a new city, I do like to, you know, especially if I'm downtown, I like to see, uh, you know, the town. And I mean, it's just, it seems just beautiful. It seems like my kind of place. And, uh, I just, I like the heat and that's what's hard for me about move. Cause Montana I love, I'd love to move to Montana.

Um, but it's all very wintery vibes and I'm not so into the winter, but. What's the weather going to be this weekend? Uh, I haven't looked. I bet it's going to be nice. I bet it's going to be beautiful because I was just, you know, rainy and 50, it's going to be beautiful though. High of 55, rainy, Saturday, high of 55. I don't trust this kind of predictive because I go. The national weather service. Yeah. I mean, I, I look at it all the time, like when

considering going out to McMinnville and then it'll be like, oh, it's going to rain all week. And then I find out it didn't rain at all. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, it could have been there, could have been there doing it. So, uh, temperatures are usually fairly close, but I have a fee.

I just feel like they have no idea what's going to happen with rain. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's true. So we're going to, but I have a fee. I just feel like they have no idea what's going to happen with rain. That's true. So we're going to see if I missed anything, nothing really worth mentioning. I don't guess Vermont, it's a, you know, it's one of the tougher states to. Well, I think the thing about a state like that, and I'm just, I'm just figuring, but the thing sometimes it's like there

may not be a lot of details and people leave there to find other opportunities but for just and I'm just I'm just guessing here I have no idea but for quality of life yeah I got to think it's just amazing I bet it's one of the highest ranked quality of life states I would think so I bet it's pretty expensive probably one of the happiest you Portland, I found to be Portland, Maine, I found to be a very good city. I liked it. I've been there a couple of times now.

I really like it. Um, I, I like, um, yeah, I just like a lot of those North Eastern areas in that sense. Now, New England, I criticize Southern hospitality these days because I don't think it's what it used to be, but it is still, we do still have very friendly people and I love the South. For what it's worth, the U.S. News and World Report says Vermont is the number seven overall state in the union.

It is number one in a metric they've called opportunity. I've yet to see what exactly that means, but it's the number one in opportunity, it's number four in crime, it's top ten in infrastructure and natural environment. It's the number seven overall state to live in the United States. Hit us with this whole, let's go through this whole list. Can you give us six, seven? We can start at the top. We're gonna start at the, you have Utah number one. I'm gonna be a wise guy.

Oh, you're gonna start with number one, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you're right. No build up. No, no build up. The real, we're gonna wait on who's number six. Okay, okay, yeah, that's true. It's not about who's number one.

It's Utah, New Hampshire's number two. Okay. Never been to New Hampshire. Idaho's number three. Never been to, oh, I had been to Idaho. Loved it. Yeah. Boise just went there.

Minnesota, four. I don't think that's true. Interesting. I don't think that's true. Huh. Nebraska, five. And then number six is Florida. Okay.

Florida is number one in education. No, number one in the economy. Number two in education. I didn't know that is Florida. Okay. Florida is number one in education, no, number one in the economy, number two in education. I didn't know that. Florida's great. I mean, that's why I've always said the people that criticize Florida have never been there. Nebraska, number one in infrastructure. Well, that's because there's no bridges or hills

in the whole state. So yeah, it's just flat roads. I like Nebraska, but they did have a really big flood that knocked out a bunch of roads. Was Vermont number one in anything? Vermont was number one in opportunity. Oh yeah, that's right. Which is, uh, yeah. Oh geez. Anyway, it's interesting. I've never seen the States ranked like this. Yeah. I think I read somewhere it's one of the happiest states. I think you go on. Yeah. I think I read somewhere it's one of the happiest states. I think you go on. Yeah.

I think really you want to be low on that list because being high on that list means more people, the people are coming and the people that come are going to ruin it. That's what they do everywhere. They come in, they ruin what they go. We hated our last state and we want to move to this state, but when we get to the new place, that's good, that we like, we'd like to change it to be a little bit more like our old

state that we hate. And then they just ruin everything. I agree. People move to the South and they think we're all idiots, but somehow we've created this really great place to live. I wish anybody who moved to Nashville in the last 20 years would go back where they came from. So I agree with you, Dusty.

The joke being that that includes me and Dusty. Yeah. That's okay. I moved here before it was. Dusty always complains about the people. You moved here. 11 years ago though. Well, that counts.

We were, it was already a booming city. But I, you know, I moved here from the south and I didn't try to change anything. I assimilated into Nashville culture. Post Malone. Well he came after me. You're the post Malone of comedy. That's true. That's a fair point. That's a fair point. He needs to assimilate to you. Now he see, he's trying to change country music. I'm just becoming a regular old Nashvilleian. Yeah, you're right. Just trying to change comedy. You're right.

Not even trying to change it. Just trying to have my own little spot. You gotta, if you move to a place, you gotta assimilate and because they have a culture that they've already created. And if you like it, you shouldn't want to change it because you, you like it. Just be that start saying y'all get into it. I checked a few different lists and all of them have Vermont right about number 30.

Okay. I guess in terms of overall happiness score. I don't know what that's all about. Y'all got to cheer up. Well, I'll find out. I'll let you know the weather. I'll let you know what's going to be weather cheer up. Yeah.

That's such, y'all got great fall foliage. What's your problem? That should be your, your, uh, stand up, uh, catchphrase. Save up. Cheer up. Cheer up. All right, Dusty, I want you to go to this lake. stand-up catchphrase. Save up, cheer up. Cheer up. Alright Dusty, I want you to go to this lake. I want you to go to that world's tallest

filing cabinet, go to Ben & Jerry's, buy some maple syrup. Okay. I think you're going to do it. I would actually be upset if you don't go see the filing cabinet. I mean, you can probably see it from your hotel. It's that close. We can see the lake from his hotel. Probably. I don. We can see the lake from his hotel. Probably. I don't know where my hotel is yet.

I don't, but I'll find it. I assume you're doing well enough now. It's probably close to the venue. Yeah. I would hope so. Well, let me find out some. You're not doing ignite hospitality rooms. No, I wish though.

Staying an hour away from the hotel. Yeah. All right. All right. Well, that's it. Where are you guys going to be? Um, I'm off for, I mean, I got some corporates and some stuff like next public shows. I think.

Joe. Everyone. I got a bunch of flack for saying that. Well, we know Brian is king of the private game. I got a bunch of fundraisers coming up. The next one you folks can come to. July 6th, I'll be at Good Nights Comedy Club in Raleigh, North Carolina. I hear it's great.

I've not done the new Good Nights. Have you done it? I hear it's great. I did it the opening weekend. I did the small room, the opening weekend. I was at the small room last time. This time I'm in the big room. Okay. I wish I was in the small room. That's what I'm talking weekend. I was at the small room last time. This time I'm in the big room. Okay. I wish I was in the small room. That's what I'm

talking about. Nah, it'll be great, dude. I heard there's a barber chair in the green room. Really? Isn't that cool? It's kind of fun stuff like that. Fall foliage there is great too. So July 6th, I'm at Good Night's Comedy Club in Raleigh. Guys don't laugh while I'm giving them dates. I'm sorry. It's a serious time. I'll just wait until Dusty's done.

No, I'm good. I'm good. I'm July 9th. I'm at the Comedy Catch in Chattanooga. I'm in the middle of my July 9th comedy catch Chattanooga. I hear they have a green room now. The Dusty slave Memorial green room. Yeah.

So going back to Raleigh, going back to Chattanooga, first time in a couple of years. Don't know when I'll be back. So buy tickets now. That's what I'm talking about. Why won't you not be back in a while? Cause they don't want to have me. They told me, I didn't want to say it's going to be the last time for a while. What about you, Aaron? They told me the last time for a while.

What about you, Aaron? I got a couple of things. I'll plug next. I'm, I'm off this week. Could be working, but I'm off next week. I'm in Indiana. I'm in South bend, Indiana, two shows. The first one sold out.

It's a place called the stock room East. I'm doing two shows. Appreciate that. Still some tickets to the late show. Then I'm in Fort Wayne, Indiana on Sunday, June 1st at Summit City Comedy Club. I was just there with Nate at a slightly bigger venue. And so I'm coming back. There are right now at the time of recording this podcast, six tickets left.

Uh, just like you know, no, six tickets left. I did exactly what you did, Brian. I typed in six tickets left. I did exactly what you did, Brian. I typed in six tickets available. I'm hoping, you know, by the time this podcast comes out, that show will be sold out. That's awesome. South Bend and Fort Wayne. And the one thing I want to plug,

I haven't talked about it yet on this podcast, but my wife is putting on a big fundraiser show here. It's Ane's in Nashville for the Prader-Willi Association. It's a genetic disorder that our daughter was recently diagnosed with and Lucy's way of, and my way, our way of kind of getting involved with all this and trying to give back a little bit. So we're putting on a great show.

All the money goes to benefit the Prader-Willi association for the United States. That's awesome. That's a, yeah, it'll, it'll be really good. And so you can go to, it's called Prader Silly. You get it? Yeah. It's called Prader Willie.

Yeah. Prader Silly, cause it's going to be a silly time. Is there a website? Prader. Dude. Hot lineup, I understand. It's going to be an unbelievable lineup. If I told the lineup, it would sell out immediately,

but I can't. But you've got a proddersilly.com, all the details on there. So that's in October. It's a ways out. Lucy's already raised 50 grand. Wow. Wow. It's awesome.

It's $50,000 already in less than a week. So it's gonna be a big thing. Then Lucy just000 already in less than a week. So it's going to be, it's going to be a big thing. Then Lucy just disappears. We never see her again. Where'd all that money go? Erin and Lucy skipped town. They even have a kid? That would be, that would be crazy.

No, so just keep an eye on that. I mean, that's a ways out, but just keep an eye on it. It's already cooking. We did today in Nashville, Lucy and I together. Yeah, it was great. So it was, it's fun. It's a,. We did today in Nashville, Lucy and I together. So it was, it's fun. It's a really great thing that Lucy's putting together. So just want to throw that out there. Appreciate it.

Dusty. I was hoping to get on the list. I- We'll see if there's room. Yeah. I'm in Vermont this weekend, Burlington, Vermont. Oh, okay. I had no idea.

Vermont Comedy Club. Early shows are sold out. Late shows are not sold out. What does it hold, do you know? Not enough for all four shows to not be sold out, I'll tell you that. Okay. But no, the early shows sold out almost immediately. That's cool immediately to where I was like, okay, here

we go. And then the late shows and maybe it's just not, you know, I'd like to say maybe it's not a late show town, but who knows? Amir, do you think you're a late show act? That's another considering. That's true. You know, I already see one problem. The show starts at seven 30.

You're in that second show. It's not going to get started till at least 11. Well, with clubs though, I do keep it about an hour. It's a one man show. Yeah, I do. I do about an hour and but that second show, second show could could go. It could go to midnight. Could go to midnight. Yeah. But yeah, it's I like your new bio. I never know what bios are.

Well, this is way better than your last one. You know what I mean? What's it say? Long hair, tobacco, oversized glasses, in a trucker hat. Dusty sleigh is the self-effacing bourbon voice, Southern comedian next door with a knack for observational blue collar humor and the nerve to say what everyone else is thinking. I like that. You remember your old one was like, it's like cornbread telling you jokes.

This is AI generated. No, the 40 year old Nashville native. That's got the heart and soul of a human being. Yeah, three years off on that age. No, AI is not involved at all. Well, you know, you don't have to get specific with the age every time. You don't go in and go. Well, just say 39.

You know, well, you know, I'm in my forties. You don't want to go in every time and go, this 41, this 42, you know. Oh, I love this dude. You've updated your Opry credit. Look at that. Yeah. Making his grand old Opry debut in 2019, the youngest at the time. Yeah.

I wonder who broke that record. Yeah a couple months later I think John Chris broke it and then and then you came later broke his Are you older than John Chris? I think so. Yeah, John's 41 Wow, remember his 40th birthday party. That was so fun, wasn't it? One of the best nights of my life All right, I'm piecing it all together Yeah, go see dusty the late show and then the next weekend I'm gonna take time off in June

But the next weekend, I'm gonna do three California shows. I'm doing to take time off in June, but the next weekend, I'm going to do three California shows. I'm doing Modesto California. I'm doing Bakerts Field. Nice. And then I'm doing San Jose. So I got a three show run out in California the last weekend of May. Okay.

So it's very exciting. Yeah. And it's great. I do have, I have started to put my, my solo podcast online on YouTube. Uh, I don't have a lot of stuff going on with it. It's a one camera shot straight on, but, uh, you know, I'm just trying to, you know, just give the dump dusty guy a little something else. I guess I don't, I, I blocked, I blocked him on all other social platforms and I feel bad about it. So I want him to be able to come there and,

and dump dusty for me. I got my own little dump Aaron guy now. He's making waves to it. He's commenting everywhere. I'm doing stuff. Yeah. The first comment on my Tom pop episode. Oh yeah. I was like, come on, dude. I know. I get it. Papa's great. Huh? He was such a nice guy. I love that. I ate that whole loaf of bread that night. Yeah.

He gave me a cigarette when I was on his and I didn't smoke it, you know, but I held it the whole time. Did you get framed or anything? No, it felt good though. Just to have it in your mouth? I just holding it in my fingers. Bruce Bruce did a whole special where he had a cigarette and he kept putting it to his mouth, never lit it.

Yeah. Just the whole special. Bruce Bruce is so great. All right, well that is it. I didn't think we'd end the Vermont episode talking about Bruce Bruce, but I like it. I like it. Bruce Bruce, famously from Vermont.

That's it guys, we did it Vermont. We've done like 30 something states now. Wow, we're knocking through them. Yeah. Let's take it like four years. I am excited to go to Vermont for many reasons. One, I think it's a very nice state. But also I am trying to knock the whole lower 48 off the list. I think all I've got left is South Dakota and New Hampshire after Vermont.

I think that's it. Yeah, I've got Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Hawaii. Well, the lower 48, I don't count Hawaii and Alaska. What distinguishes them as the lower 48? Well, it's just the ones- Or the continental US. Yeah. Yeah, but if it's, I know, I'm digging it.

But the lower 40, yeah, I mean's the, yeah, not Alaska and Hawaii. Yeah, yeah. We're counting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. All right. All right. That is it.

Thank you all so much. As always, we love you. We know this is lost on us. Go ahead, Dusty. No, I got nothing. We'll see you next week. Bye. Hey!
