Hello, common folk and hey, boars. Welcome to the public figure podcast. I'm Brian Bates, as always, Dusty Slay. Okay, all right. And sitting in for Aaron Weber this week. You know how when you get on a small plane, they ask to reshift just to make sure the weight distribution is right? Yeah.

We got two guys sitting in for Aaron this week. We got from the consumers, Greg Warren. Hi, guys. It's good to be back. and from Life of Dad podcast and The Absolutely Show. Howdy, howdy. Lee Kimmel. Double plug.

Thank you, Brian. Good to be here, man. You may have more podcasts I don't know about, but. That's just those two. Okay. All right. Welcome, guys. Welcome.

Greg, you're our first time returning guest. Wow. Oh, really? Yeah. You set the record for Nate Land and now you're in the lead again. That's great, man. That's where I want to be. Dusty, I'm going to say right off the bat, I don't care for the hat.

Oh, is this against your company? Competitor, direct competitor. I did not know. I bet this hat was made before you were even working there. I mean, the model definitely. It's a nice looking hat. I like, you know, the branding, but, man, I didn't like those guys. I had Duncan Hines and we went right up against him.

Well, had I known, you know, I wouldn't have worn this hat. I'd like to think that. I didn't know. I just thought, this is a cool looking hat. I get the appeal. Yeah. And I've always been a supporter of your hats. Yeah.

I'm sorry this has happened to us. On a positive note. I've been messing around with grounding for the last month. Now we're talking. Yeah. I'm about one month into grounding. All right. How's it going?

Pretty good. It's the best. I think I'm sleeping better. I don't know. It could be some other stuff, but I think I'm sleeping better. It's not an easy thing to do on the road, man. You got to walk around on some hotel property or go to a park. And I find that what you really want to do is find the least good-looking grass.

Because if it looks really good. They probably had a lot of chemicals. Yeah, I was thinking about that, man. I'm learning my way through this because I went on this one hotel and it was attached to a golf course. And I was walking around. I was like, this grass is perfect. And I was like, yeah, man, golf courses probably have quite a bit of pesticides and all sorts of stuff. It's too perfect.

Do you want to step on a, you want to step on something that hurt you? Yeah, that's, man, those twigs and stuff like that. I mean, this is how much my life has changed. I did radio. I had a radio in Tampa had like two radio shows and I had about an hour off in between it.

I just drove to a park and took off my shoes and socks. I was going to ask, how long do you ground? What's a good... I try to walk for 30 minutes, you know, on the grass. Is that...

I think that's what... Yeah, I mean, that's... That's hard to do, but I think that's ideal. Sometimes, if I can't, take off my shoes, I just touch a tree. Do you want to tell people

what grounding is for those people who aren't into pseudoscience? Well, it's just... Oh, well, easy. Come on. Well, hey, man. It's just, some people call it earthing. It's just touching the earth.

You know, we got these rubber-souled shoes that keep us from connecting with the earth. And we need to be connected. Well, it's an electric universe, Brian. So we've got an electric current flowing through our body. There's an electric current flowing through the earth itself. You take off the shoes. You take off the rubber, which is, what is the opposite of a conductor?

I don't know, but it's nice to have. Anticonductor. Yeah, an anti-conductor. It's nice to have normal people on the spot. Yeah, it's very nice. You put your bare feet on the ground and you complete the circuit. So the electrical force of the earth is now in tune with your body. You're grounding with the earth.

That may be the best. That's what it is. Explanation of it that I've heard. Sometimes if I touch a tree, I really feel like things are leaving me. And like it feels like negativity is leaving me and going into the tree. You should touch more before this podcast. No, I'm a literal tree hugger as well. Touch the desk. Does that help? It's wood.

If it were connected to the ground. I mean, the only thing I picked up on it was electrons. And I forget. Something like that. I know electrons are, I know there's protons, neutrons, and electrons. And the only thing I remember out of electrons is they're moving on the outside, right? That's right. Something like that. And they said your foot is, I don't know, there's some electron transfer in between.

Earthing documentary. It's called Earthing. You'll love it. Yeah? I mean, I started watching it five minutes into it. I took my laptop out to the yard and put my feet in the grass. This is a little too good. Yeah, yeah. I got to get out there, man.

My favorite wrestler. Brock Leicester. No, not professional wrestler. Like Olympic level wrestler. This guy Kyle Diggs, a big advocate. And I just heard him talk about it. And finally, I was like, I'm going to start doing this. And then I talked about it on a podcast.

And I got some comments like, you got to talk to Dusty about this, man. Yeah, he's way in on it. Very nice. It's a surprise me. I had a grounding sheet. I stopped taking it because, I mean, I got too many things I take on the road anyway. I'm hooking up. I mean, I'm grounding sheet, like something.

Yeah, the one that I got now is just for the foot. Like, it's like if you're sitting at a desk, you put your foot on it and it plugs into the wall, but just into the grounding plug. So, you know, you're supposed to be able to ground from wherever you're at. But I'll put it in the bed. That way I sleep with it. My brother grounds why he sleeps as well. Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

This, uh, what else are you taking on the road? I got, uh, I bring my own sheets now. I have linen sheets because I feel like it heals my body while I sleep. Now we're talking. I got, I take a little diffuser for some essential oil so I can get some fresh air in these hotels, you know. It's stale. A little eucalyptus or something like that and there just feels good. Open you up a little bit.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A teapot. Uh, I do take a teapot pot kettle. I take an electric tea cup. because I make a lot of tea. I like tea.

Yeah. Yeah. And then I take... I might do a couple of dates with you. Yeah. Yeah, we should. I have a sound machine that I take so that I can block out all the noise.

I bring the Miami sound machine. They come with me now. Okay. Yeah. I probably only one who knows that reference. Yeah, I don't get it. Be careful, Dusty. The rhythm's going to get you.

Yeah, it's glorious Stefan's band. They travel with me now and they do. Well, if you can get it, you know, when you're making big money, it's... When I walk out, they play a little. So, Dusty, I got to get you, I got to get you an acupuncture mat. Oh, yeah.

And you would love it as well. See, man, that sounds painful, though. It is. It's a little bit painful. He's pulling it up right now. It doesn't feel great until it does. Really? Yeah, it's one of those things.

It's like an ice bath or a sauna. It's not exactly comfortable right off the bat. And you don't got to lay all the way down on it, but it's a good precursor for a good grounding session. I love it. If you step on one of those things, kind of move back and forth. a little bit.

Really? And then go out on the grass. Now you're really open yourself up to the benefits of gravity. I've got to start vetting these guests. We're going to get you. You knew what was going on when I came on here. I thought we would come on and talk about my special before we get into Weirdoville. But, uh, you know.

Loved worried. Thank you. Did love it. I thought I was there for the taping and then I watched it again. It's fantastic. It holds up. I think that's why Brian doesn't want any of this stuff. Because if he's doing acupuncture, if he's grounding, he's no longer worried.

Yeah, man. Yeah, Brian Bates. Kill my whole business market. Calm. It doesn't quite hit. I think Dusty knows it's okay to eat pork now, but he's in too deep. So he's just like, I got to keep this charade up. No, never eat pork.

I want to, can I share some numbers for you guys for my special? Later, man, yeah. Get these from the Nate Land Home Office. These dollar figures? No. I'd love to see that. First 24 hours, my special rank second amongst Nateland premieres. Wow.

Behind Greg Warren. All right. By a thousand views. But Greg puts out a special every six months, so come on. One of them is about to do good. After 48 hours, I rate third among Nate line openings, behind again, Greg. And by 100 views behind Aaron. That kills me.

That's, I want to recount. I want to recount. But, yeah. So it's going great. No, it's, it's, yeah, it's off to a quick start, man. Thank you, guys. Very funny. Yeah.

It is very good. I'll sit at home. I don't watch it. I don't watch. Yeah. He was like live texting me during the special. Yeah. And he never watches.

I'll be honest. Rarely do I sit down and watch a full comedy special as well. But I sat down and watched it. And you did rip it, man. It was excellent. That's the longest set I've ever seen Brian do. Did you think he was going to make it towards you? I was like, I don't know.

No, man. I mean, that's the thing about a half hour special, man. It is. It's a quick walk. man, you're in, you're out, like, but by the time you realize you're watching it, you're halfway through it's very good. Moves fast. It recorded on a Monday night and it felt every bit like a Saturday night. That's what I do, Liz. Those people, those people were there for you, man. One take. One take. I know that's where you're a maniac. One take. Yeah, one take, man. That's actually

nuts. Yeah. We did a podcast right before it. That was crazy, I thought. Yeah, I thought that was a little be crazy. You just had a day. I know what I'm doing. You got it like that, Bates. That's what I do. Now, I'm sitting home. It came out Friday afternoon, 4 o'clock. I'm feeling good about myself. Comments are all positive. And then I start getting, having dinner with my family, and I start getting text from people like, dude, you, something's going on. Like, you got to get this fixed. And I go on, and my good buddy Greg's posted. Oh, no, we're not going to talk about this. A very sweet thing. My Buddy Brian Bates comedy has a new special out now on Nateland Urub. That's okay.

It's type. He made a T, put an R, Urub. Yeah. But apparently he has trouble with those T's and R's. Because his next sentence was, he meant to say I was there for the taping. Yeah. Oh, God. What?

But he didn't say taping, but then he phoned up, you will love it. That's right. This was, uh, I would say about an hour. Yeah. I just was one of those days. I was at a show and I'm like, I got to get this up and I was doing it on. I shouldn't do these things. And I got, and I didn't, I wasn't on my phone for like an hour.

And then Bates, I looked at my phone in Bates section, you need to look at what you posted. And then, of course, there's a ton of comments underneath. To be fair, that is how the audience feels most of the time. You're going to like this special whether you want to or not. Yeah, man, that was. That's crazy. I mean, that's about as bad as you could, you know. At least you did the U-Rube.

That way, that way. You set a precedent. Yeah, but then they almost think it's a bit or something like this, like nobody's that dumb, you know? Some people like nobody's that consistently done. Like who took his auto correct off? Yeah, that was unfortunate. I mean, you know, but nobody talks about, I nailed the Instagram post. Nobody talks about that.

Not one typo. No, I appreciate that. I appreciate all you guys. And I appreciate everyone who's watched it And keep If you haven't Watch it If you have

Go watch it again Keep sharing it Lose your own followers and friends Totally Keep sharing it Every day Absolutely absolutely I want to read some new numbers

Next week After one week It's the highest ever Pass surpassing Greg Warren I liked the promotional video From the parking lot of Taco Bell Yeah I thought that was a very nice

A little personal touch there Thank you Thank you Alex Vudo shot that What is your Taco Bell order for that for that taping uh i just wanted something with lettuce so i just got a i got a taco oh yeah yeah yeah so old lettuce taco yeah yeah yeah extra it is funny that the lettuce always gets blamed i mean maybe you know for could it be everything else like like like my my mom got sick one time from like i don't know some fast food place and my niece goes she goes she goes we think it was the lettuce

She's the only one who had a burger with lettuce. And I'm like, yeah, blame the lettuce. Burger leave. Well, I also want to mention Nate Land showcase season 5 is coming up. August 23rd, 24th, 25th here at the Lab at Zanis. Tickets are on sale now. The three public figures will be hosting one each night. You did last season, Lee.

Yeah. It's great. Hot shows, hot shows. Hot show. So get tickets for that before it's too late. Heavy hitters, man, from what I understand. Yeah. Big time heavy hitters.

Yeah, I can even say they're so big. But Dusty, Dusty has a book coming out. Yeah. You do? We're having a good time. Oh, wow. Yeah, I wrote a book. That's great, man.

Yeah, thank you. When's that coming out? November 10th. All right. Yeah. Just tales from Dusty's past? Yeah, well, I got a book deal. And so I got to, you know, I had to write it.

I wrote a book and then the editor goes, let's get a ghostwriter in here. And so then that person took my, who is going to be credited on the cover. This was an earlier cover. He did a great job. And he took all my stories and made them sound like something that people want to read. Beautiful. Get into grounding at all? I think so.

I think I do talk about grounding a little bit. Yeah. Where were you this week, Dusty? You know what? I wasn't anywhere. I was home and I was hanging out and we had a great time.

But me and Lee do a show now. And so last week we had a show. It's called Let Loose at Zanies at the Lab. And it's our third week. It's kind of a kill-tony-inspired show. Some people call it Chill-Toney. Other people have called it Slay Dusty. Which I really enjoy.

That's fun. I mean, would kind of enjoy it if my name was somewhere in there, but Slay Dusty, definitely. Sleigh Lee. Of course it does it. Tony. Tony and Dusty. Yeah, it works out perfect. Slay Dusty. Let loose is what we're calling it for now.

Let loose at the lab works. Let loose with Lee. We could do three L's. Well, that was on the table. Let loose Lee. Yeah, there it is. No, I like let loose. It's very fun.

And it is indeed loose. People are getting loose. Yeah, so it's an open mic of sorts, but Lee goes out first. does a little set, explains what's going on. I come out, do a set, and then we set at a table on stage, and then we pull names out of a hat. Comics come up, they do two minutes, then we have a couple of book spots.

Last week, we had a person to get pulled out named Bloody Fawn, was the name, but it was B-L-0-0-D-Y, and she came up. She wouldn't have distinguished from the other Bloody Fawn. Yeah, don't want to get wrapped up in it all. And she came up, and she came up, set her phone up and then she unscrewed the top of the microphone. She opened the mic and then turned it upside down and dropped it on stage. Tried as hard as she could to break the microphone. Why? Hey, she was an exhibitionist artist. She's avant-a-a-vant-garde. And then...

The bloody fawn thing could have given you a little bit of a hint. A little bit. Something out of the ordinary was going to happen. It could have. And then while the audience is in complete, you know, just kind of like... I hopped up, got my mic, said, all right, guys, make some noise, whatever noise you want to make. Yeah, yeah. Just don't let it be quiet. And some people were booing and hollering at her.

And some people were laughing and loving it. And I'm screwing the head back onto the microphone and then completely unplanned and unbeknownst to both Dusty and me, Polly Shore of Hollywood fame. Yeah, movie star. Just sauntered up to the stage like he was... lost. Yeah.

He had, he, what's up, man? He walks out on stage. Walked on stage like in the middle of the stage, came through the audience. And he goes, what's happening here? Yeah. And we didn't know. No one knew. And it was, yeah, here we go.

There he is. There's the weasel. We're buddies now, me and Paul are show. We're best friends. And you can kind of hear the audience. No one really knows what's going on. And then Polly hops onto the lap of a young man who is sitting in the front row. Okay.

Who we had deemed sweet monster. Yeah. Very scary looking guy. But very kind. That's awesome. He came out of the perfect time, didn't he? Where was bloody fonder and all this? She went and sat back in the back of the room and then never left.

She stayed the whole show. She did her thing. And then later, we found a post, we can't post it, but we found a picture that she had taken of me and Lee on stage. Two weeks prior. Two weeks prior and said, you know, mean things. about Lee and mean things about me. Really? And put it on her Instagram.

And we love it. You can say what she said about me. She said, she put a little voice bubble coming out of my mouth and it said, Wham, wah, I'm a big baby. Well,

that's, that's, that's uncalled. Come on, it's a cheap shot. That's what a faunt is. And baby deer. Maybe it was a term of endearment.

That's a good point. In D, D, E, R. I start wet. D.E.R. I'm sorry. Deermint. Mine was inappropriate to say on the show.

Definitely. Yeah. Well, I had a comment. Was there a voice bubble? It was. And it said, I'm blank. Like a sexual orientation, if you will. I'm blanking.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's what I said about me. You know, they have the groundlings. What if you guys did a show outside with your shoes off called the groundings? Oh. I like that, man. I actually don't hate that at all.

That's a good idea. The grounding. Can I do that comedy? Yeah, me and you and Lee. I've been grounding my baby lately. Oh, yeah? I've been hearing, you know, I've been hearing some people talk about that. Well, not, she doesn't do anything wrong.

She's not, yeah. She's not being grounded. I've just been putting her on the grass. I like to do that too. You know what I do? I hold my baby while I'm barefooted and then hold skin to skin. That way. It's all conducted.

Yeah, yeah. One big circuit with me and my daughter. I say, touch a tree. Yeah. We'd already moved on. That's on me, guys. That is on me. We'd already moved on.

Yeah, man. We can get back into the grounding stuff now. Yeah. Well, you took that detour with your comments. Well, speaking of my special, the vast majority of comments have been very nice. Now, one guy did comment today. It's like when my pastor tries to do comedy.

And I click on the guy's profile, and he has previous comments on the Nate Land YouTube channel. Oh, yeah. And I go, look, he's coming on Aaron special. And he says, like when my youth people, pastor cries to do coffee. This guy's, this guy's that. He's recycling. One trick pony, man. He calls me a pastor and Aaron a youth pastor. I don't appreciate that. Well, still, man. Yeah. Yeah. This guy, he better not be getting on you guys for originality because he's, he's got nothing, man.

Just for the record, though, before we move off of Let Loose, August 5th and I believe August 12th. We're doing two this. Three this month. August 5th, 12th, and then the 26th. And if you want to do comedy, come put your name in the bucket. If you want to just come watch a fun, weird show, come to that. It is bizarre. And we, you know, Dusty and I keep it, we keep it fairly clean on our end. It is an open mic. So you're going to get a bloody fawn every now and again. And I want it to get weirder. And it likely will. Yeah. And it likely will. Yeah. Guys, here's something we can all agree on. None of us like a call center. Not me. Not the company. And even the call center representatives seem to hate it.

I've talked to people who work in contact centers. They're answering the same three questions 800 times a day. Then think about the business running the whole thing. They're paying a fortune for something that sends customers directly into the arms of a competitor. This is the most universally despised system in business. And it's long overdue for a rethink. That's where 11 agents comes in.

If I ever needed 11 agents by 11 labs, it's what I use. 11 labs make something called 11 agents. I don't know exactly what it is, but I'll tell you what it's not. It's not a chat bot. It's not a phone tree and it's not some demo that falls apart the second real customer ask a real question. 11 agents by 11 Labs is a voice AI agent that actually listens, understands, and resolves so they do not just route you.

It can look up your account, process your request, and escalate intelligently. This sounds great. So if you run a business with any kind of customer operation, support, sales, or onboarding, you can start with a demo at 11labs.io. Nate Lamb. See what 11 agents can do for your specific workflow, guided rollout capacity, and is limited each quarter. So if you want to be one of the first companies with a customer experience that people actually talk about in a good way, now's the time. Nate Land could use this. Every time I call Nate Land, try to talk to Adrian or Tristan, I get some recording and they

send me around just all over the place. They bounce you around. We should have 11 agents read this ad. I agree. That's a great idea. That's why AI can never replace the human. in mind. That's right. But 11 agents would real, Nateland could really benefit from this. 11 labs. I.O.

slash Nateland. E-L-E-V-E-N-L-A-B-S dot I-O-S-Natlan. Greg, where were you this weekend? I was opening for Leanne. That was fun. Montgomery, Alabama is my first time in Montgomery. All right.

Yeah. It was a blast, man. Yeah. Did you have any barbecue? I did. You know, I did the two big Alabama chains. full moon and what's the big one

Big Bob Gibson What is that one? Dreamland Dreamland, Dreamland, yeah and you know pretty good I gotta say I felt like the ribs I've had better ribs And I was really

I know you're from Alabama man So I'm not taking shots at you I'm honestly I don't want people to be mad at me But I'm not really a fan of Dreamland Yeah it's just the ribs were not Tender What about the white?

White sauce. Do the white sauce? I can't get with that. And that's on me. But I'm just not a dairy guy. And I've, you know, I took some heat. Derek Strupe went off on me recently saying that, you know. What's dairy? Is it buttermilk? Like what makes the Alabama white sauce? Manas, I think. May, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think there's. They do. Oh, man. You know what? I don't eat mayonnaise. And my dad, uh, legit gets mad at me because I don't like mayonnaise. Yeah, I don't like it. I don't eat it. He gets mad at me. It's like a mayonnaise part of the table. Yes, sir. I'm into mayonnaise. Yeah. Spicy mayonnaise too. If you put, like mayonnaise is a good mixer, you know, I like ranch dressing.

I like tartar sauce. I like spicy mayo I can do. Yeah. But just straight up mayo, no thank you. None of what you said. Giggly kind of, no thank you. I mean, my brother used to call me up on the phone and stir the mayonnaise jar just to try to get me upset.

That's so gross. Yeah, yeah, just to upset me. I don't know. I've had like a phobia of mayonnaise. my whole life. I don't like it. My stepmom, a different one, not the current one that I have. She just want to differentiate. My current stepmom, a great lady. My old stepmom used to make bolognaissance and put a lot of white bread with a lot of mayonnaise on it. And then when he got to the middle, you know, there was no crust anymore. It was just kind of a soggy white bread with a layer of

mayo and bologna. And I would want to throw up. Mayo phobia. Yeah. A real thing. Really? See, it's legit, man. Yeah. I had meophobia for just a portion of my life because my nana liked it too much. Oh, yeah. She would eat it like by the spoon. Did you go to treatment or how'd you get over? Do you go to like a treatment or non-staffir?

Yeah, just, yeah, they just what is it called where they expose you to. Exposure theory. Exposure therapy. Yeah, yeah. I got to say, though, the definition, though, said an irrational fear of mayo. And I don't think there's anything irrational. No, I think it's an unclean condiment. Yes.

It is just eggs. Eggs and oil. Yeah. So maybe it's not dairy, but it looks dairyish. Yeah. It's got a dairy vibe to it. Yeah. That's what that white sauce and it doesn't make sense to me, that Alabama white sauce.

It's like I'm going to have brisket alfredo. Well, ranch. Where I'm from in Opelago, we have Chuck's barbecue, and I don't know that they're doing the white sauce. And it's good. I think I've heard you talk about that place. How far is Opelika from where I was? I should have. About 45 minutes.

I should have gone, man. You should have. Yeah, I should have. Man, this guy came up to me after the show. He was in a meet and greet with Leanne, and he was like, and I talked to him for a long time, and he seemed like a nice guy. And he goes, you know who I like, a comedian I like. And I was like, ah, man, I know it's going to be somebody that I'll have to be like, yeah, he's great. And I'll be like, I don't, it's not my friend.

He goes, that guy out of Opelika. He goes that guy. I'm like, yeah, he's my friend. He's great. It was, it was nice to be able to be sincere about it. Yeah. I actually have a moment. That guy gets it.

I appreciate that. Claiborne Cox? What's that? He said Claiborne Cox? Claver and Cox is out of Opao I could do. I don't know if you know him. I don't know him, man. He's good.

You should check him out. Yeah, I like to see him, yeah. I think he's more Auburn. I don't think he's really Opel-a-Log. Doesn't work for the joke, but. R. I fudge a little bit. What about you, Lee?

Where were you this week here? I was here in town. I was the aforementioned Polly Shore. I was featuring for him over in the main room. Yeah, and we had a blast. me and Matt Taylor were working on that show. Yeah. Got to hang out, watch that.

Really eclectic audience, his demographic, he's been famous for so long. Yeah. That the audience was interesting. It was like there were people who were, you know, pushing 75 years old. Yeah. Because they were my age when he was popping off with biodome and everything. Yeah. And then there are people who have found him more recently, like, through Kill Tony or something like that.

Yeah. So, yeah, the biggest disparity of age. that I've performed for. But they were good shows. They were fun. And then this is funny how it worked out. I knew I was doing this podcast. I didn't know Greg was a part of it.

But yesterday I got to golf. I get to golf now with the baby maybe once or twice a month. And yesterday was one of my golf. What is it? Oh, I misunderstood you. No. Now I barely get to golf,

but I went golfing yesterday with Derek Strupe. And on the first T, the guy recognized Derek. We got paired up with a couple randoms, and the guy didn't recognize him visually, but once he started talking, he goes, oh, that's Derek Strupe. So this guy is a huge Nateland fan. He went to wet heat taping in Chattanooga. He was at your taping on Monday, and he goes, you know who I love? And this happened yesterday. He goes, you know who I love Greg Warren?

There we go. He goes, Greg Warren, I went to a live podcast of theirs and asked about when's he going to start that St. Louis Cardinals' podcast. And yeah, his name is Chris. So hello Chris. Thanks, Chris. Yeah. Look at this. He part of, he kind of thought I was lying to him. I was like, I'm doing public figures tomorrow. And he was like, sure you are, man. So here I am. And I hope you're enjoying life of dad. And then here's Greg Warren. Did you beat him at golf? I did. All right. I did. I did. Are you good? Not real. So you're saying 15 handicapped? Yeah, man. Yeah. I'm playing golf.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm playing golf. I shot like 80. Yeah. I shot an 88 yesterday. That's great, man. Yeah, we're playing golf. It was good.

You had to want it yesterday. It was about 98 degrees. We were out there. It was some wet heat. It was some wet heat indeed. I tried to run. You know, I used to run a lot. And I haven't really, for 15 years or whatever.

And I still claiming running. Yeah. And I tried, I went out twice in the last week. And my knees just jacked up, man. Do you ever go for your walk? Yeah, I do. I walk plenty. Yeah, I walk.

That's a great joke. I get my stanks. It's an oldie. Yeah, yeah. Run barefooted. That's a, I don't know. I mean, well, they tell you, you know, like, I knew going in. I'm like, I'm going to run, and this isn't going to work.

I'm going to be hurt here soon. And they're like, no, no, you've got to get on the right surface. You know, you got to get the right surface. I'm like, I run on the right surface. I ran on a, you know, you got to run on an, you got to run on an angel. food cake. That's, you know, you just got to get you a good stretch angel food. It's like always just ridiculous. There's no, what does that mean? It's just like a surface that, yeah. Yeah, there's just no way. No sidewalk, no asphalt. Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah. And I ran, I ran on the great, my knee hurts so

bad right now. It's, this is not going to happen. I'm a try. You know, I grounded one time on a hiking trail. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I, and I, there was a, I felt really bad. I was doing a weekend somewhere. I felt really bad and I was like I got a ground I went to a hiking trail and there were sticks and it was painful yeah that's a tricky one man but I felt good when it was over I don't think I worry about that is ticks oh I've been scared of ticks man yeah yeah I mean it's one thing to have one but now it's like oh well you got a disease that's going to affect your life forever yeah I'm not afraid of them really I don't believe in the tick myth you think that uh Lyme disease is uh yeah I think it's a Really?

I think it can be healed. Well, we discussed this the other day. By grounding. Yeah. No, I think my friend Andy Hendrickson, funny comic,

he was healed from Lyme disease. He had to wear like a constant, intervaneous thing that just sort of like... A lot of IV drugs. And then there's a new treatment for Lyme disease that has been getting some positive press lately. And it's bee sting therapy. I think you just got a,

not believe it's real. I thought you thought Bill Gates was dropping ticks on people. Well, he probably is. Yeah. Well, now you're going... I meet Dusty in the middle because I believe in the danger of ticks and I'm scared of ticks and I check me and my family every time we go outside or, you know, go out in the woods. I try to find ticks and put him on mine. No, you do not. No, you do not. Don't you do that to those little babies? No, but I do think that all of the everybody talking about ticks and being up in there about up into up in arms about ticks and your whole algorithm about ticks that does feel a little they don't want you they don't want you outside grounded yeah they don't want you outside they don't want you out there hugging a tree you're touching the earth I get you yeah I don't I think there's I think there's got to be some medium ground there I don't I'm in the middle going on that high control that sounds um it was painful yeah yeah sticks probably some rocks but I feel like when you're You're like in the woods and all the, you know, the trees are taking in all the carbon dioxide and pumping out oxygen. So you're just breathing in fresh oxygen right there in the woods, walking around, getting some sunlight in areas.

And all of them. Go ahead. What's the last time of you had a tick on you, like attached? It's been a little while, but I used to get them fairly regularly. I've had one within the month. I have too. Yeah. Really?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they checked me when I came in. Dick check, strip down, Warren. I was in Cincinnati this weekend. My buddy Josh Sneed is a member of country club up there. He does a comedy show once a year.

Love Josh. He asked me to come do it. Josh is like the only comic I know who started in Cincinnati, who I think is funny. Oh, come on. Hey. Hey. You know, I don't think I started there, but I spent a good portion of my career. In the middle of the table here, right?

I was there when Sneed first one. on stage. I thought it was a double. I thought you started in Cincinnati too. I was like, no. Pretty good double take down. It is. Yeah, Houston probably is where, I mean, I had a lot of false starts, but yeah, but I spent a good portion of time in Cincinnati. Okay. Yeah. The joke still works then. Yeah. Yes, it did. But Josh is funny. He's super funny. Neat is the man. Great. Yeah. How's the country club? It's great. Me and Nate and Nate's dad played there years ago. Really? When Nate was only doing theaters. So, you know. Quaint.

We slummed it up and play there. They put a spread out for you? For this one? Yeah. No. No food? No. Nothing?

What about for Nate? Do you have a bit of a spread? Well, that was, we just went and play golf there. That was like eight years ago. Oh. I did a country club gig a few years ago, man. They had some nice, they had like appetizers. It was good.

Yeah. Yeah. Josh was like, uh... Tell Josh's country club to get it together. Yeah, man. Just some sliders. or something, Josh. Josh is like, I'm going to do five off the top,

which is very nice of them just to kind of get them going. Yeah. And then I'll hand over you. He's like, my wife's out of town. So, and he lives there, you know, in this community. So I think he walked over. He's like, I got home with my kids. So he watched about five minutes of me in the back.

And then he bounced up. Yeah. So I just wrapped it up. Say good night. Sneed is the man. The guy that we're replacing today, Aaron Weber. Yeah. I was on the road back.

We did a gig in Hattiesburg together. I opened up for Aaron, and we were driving back from Hattiesburg, Mississippi to Nashville, and stopped at a Buckees about 10.30 in the morning on Father's Day. And it was a complete madhouse, thousands and thousands of people, traffic to get in. And right when we walked in, I bumped in, complete accident, complete chance, bumped chest-to-chest with Josh Sneed. Really? It was bizarre. Wow.

It is bizarre. Yeah, it was very wild. I don't know if I ever chest-to-chest, accidentally. It was that packed in Buckees. Like straight on? Oh, excuse me,

I didn't see it right here. I got a shot. See? Yeah, we fist-bumped and chest-bombed. Yeah, some of them. Look at these two meatheads. Yeah. A couple jocks.

Eating jerky. It was in a jerky. Man, speaking of Buckees, I stopped into one of those, um, my first, uh,

Dolly Parton's, uh, truck stop today. Review. How is it? It's, it's, It's crowded, you know, branding.

A little jessie jess bump in there, too. Dusty Slag, everybody. It's the branding's really cool. And I didn't, there's a lot of lines, so I didn't partake in everything. But it seemed like it was a lot of hubbub, you know, not quite as big as a Bucky's. Yeah.

But I hear that's the future. I hear she's getting in. Oh, okay. So if Buckees has brisket, I hear that Dolly Parton, that place is famous for its like cinnamon bread. They had brisket there. That's what I'm saying, did they? Yeah.

That's what you do, right, Lee? The brisket? Brisket on the board. Oh, yeah. Big brisket burrito guy. Probably too much, if I'm being honest. But yeah, we were going to stop by there too, but there was a line of traffic like off the exit. Yeah, man.

I sat in that traffic for a while. That's dedication, man. Yeah, it's, I was like, I got to check this out. When you say there's a lot of line, you mean for like different food? things. There's not an amusement park there. There was, I think, like

some sort of a lounge. And then there was a restaurant like a sit-down restaurant in there too, that there was a line to get in there. There was a lot, a few different lines.

Yeah, I did like 10 minutes. Then Polly Shore walked up on stage. Yeah, no, it was a bloody, whatever name it, bloody Fawn came up. She on a motorcycle? Is that her on a motorcycle down there? Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Working 9.5. What is she known, like, for a motorcycle? She's known for country music, among a lot of other things, buddy. Well, I know, but what's that have to do with the... I think it's like a, since it's a stop, like a truck stop, she's saying, you know, if she was in a car, you wouldn't be able to see her that well. Yeah.

I guess you're right. Yeah, so they put her on a motorcycle. I didn't see any bikers there. Yeah. They're coming. I think she's in a car right there. Oh, yeah. Hey, was that hat?

Addiesburg. Was that like a benefit? It was for an arts festival down there. Okay, I'm doing a thing down there. Life for life. Yeah, I'm doing that. Have you done that? Yes, sir. We've done it twice. Is it at the singer? Where is it? Yeah, it is at the singer. And it's, um, my, my niece goes to college at Southern Miss. So I've been, I've been actively trying to do this gig.

Dig it. Brian? Is it going to? Yeah, I did it. First I did it was with me, Nate and Leanne. You may want to guess who went first? Wow. That's a lineup. I closed that show now. And then last year I did it with Andrew Stanley and Derek Stroop. Okay. Wow.

Yeah. It was very fun. Charming little town. I've done this anger there. It's great. I didn't do that show, but I just did the thing. And it's, uh, Dessie's friend with the mayor.

I am, yeah. Really? The mayor. My friend, Vince Fabra, who, you know, went to Southern Miss as well. And he was roommates with the now mayor of Hattiesburg. I met him. He came to the show. Mayor Toby.

Toby, that's right. So he took us into the, you know, we got to go to the mayor's office and hang out. And then we met Landon Talks. Yeah. He came on y'all's show. He did a spot on the show and Mary Ryan Brown. It was fun.

There's all these comics, I don't know. I got to get to know. Who's the guy in Opelika? Claibor and Cox. Claibor and Cox. I think he's in Auburn, though. Just to reiterate. Dusty's only comic who has a key to the city.

Yeah. That's true. Believe that. That is true. And that one kid from the Food Network competition that I sent you. Oh, yeah. He doesn't have a key to the city. No, definitely not.

He can't even drive. I did check around on this kid. And apparently his family moved to Opelika. So he may be. He may be Opelika native, but his family didn't come up. I'm checking in and I've been looking a little bit into Clayburn. It's, it's not. I don't think it's awful.

Okay. No, that's, man, I'll never be the most successful comedian from my, high school. Oh, really? Yeah. Who else? Nicky Glazer. Oh, really? Went to the same high school as I did. That's a true. There's still time, yeah. Yeah. I don't, you know, time is the one thing that she... You won't be the most attractive, but... Definitely not. Not necessarily to point that out. I'm not arguing with you. I'm not arguing with you. I'm not arguing that out of these sounds as some things you just be left unspoken. You know, I think we had a Miss America pageant contestant, maybe a winner from Opelika. So I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

also will not be the most attractive. Okay. Didn't you have an astronaut from Oprah Walker? Well, you know. Lexington. Just about real stuff. Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

Exactly. Yeah. Guy's not funny at all. Yeah. My hometown's claim to fame is an actor. Is Jim Varney? Yes. Is the actor?

Jim Barney. Ernest. He's from Lexington. Lekington. Yeah. We talked about him last week. Ernest goes to jail. Yeah.

Did you really? Ernest. I also like him in the Beverly Hillbillies movie. Thought he was great in that. He's so good. Yeah. He was a kind of a tragic case, not trying to bring it down, but he was like a Juilliard-trained Shakespearean actor.

Yeah. And really wanted to do some more dramatic work and stuff. And he got into earnest and then that was a big payday and it just kind of kept rolling, kept rolling. He dated my mom in high school. Jim Varney did? I swear, my mom and Jim Varney dated for a long time. That's the real tragedy for you, isn't it? Yeah.

You always got a... Kind of messed up the 90s for your boy. You think about your mom. You think about, you know what I mean, Vern? And I'm like, I do know what you mean. Wait a minute. So your mom dates someone who does, did comedy. And then you become a comedian.

Oh. Come on, Bates. It is what it is. I didn't say anything, Greg. She was a nurse. I married a nurse. The human mind. But you know what, though?

I don't find that tragic about earnest because it's like, yeah, sure, you wanted to be a dramatic actor. But sorry you failed into success. I know, man. And the guy had a great career. There you go. Performing Shakespeare's Hamlet. There's a fun clip of him and Robin Williams that I see circulating on Instagram sometimes.

And then they're just kind of riffing. It's pretty fun. I think he's in the Hank Williams Jr. video. All my rowdy friends are coming over. Yes, he is. And he is also the voice of the slinky dog in the first two toy stories. Oh, wow. Yeah.

Yeah, that was a paycheck. Golly. Huge one. Imagine. Lee, you ever leave the doctor's office? and feel like you got nothing from it. Always. Yeah, man.

Yeah. You guys want to get in these comments? Yeah, let's start with the comments. Shall we? Start with the comments. Last week we talked about prison. and that was our topic. Just have right.

Rachel Woolston, love Dusty's National Anthem. I've never heard it with that many key changes. Well, it's, I'm pretty amazing. And it was written by Francis Scott Key, if I believe. So I wanted to honor him with a lot of key changes. Did you know there's a second verse? Was it Francis? I think Francis.

I think Francis was a woman. I think it was a guy. I remember Tim Wilson talking about Francis Scott Key. Hey, another Lexington legend. Tim Wilson. No, he's from Georgia, man. I thought he was Lexington. He's Georgia.

He lived in Lexington. Louisville. We're trying to find out if Francis is a man or woman. I get that Francis is typically a female's name. Did you know there's a second verse to the... Yeah, that's like the S&L Pat. Pat, yeah. Who is that guy, lady?

We still don't know. Oh, spouse is married. Francis Scott. a guy. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. Where do you see that? Down there to the right, his spouse was named Mary Taylor. Yeah. Well, that isn't. I guess it doesn't, but hey, back in the day. At that time. Yeah. But yes. So, but anyway, when did you sing it? I sang it on the podcast. Yeah. That's great, man. And there's a good chance it's going to end today's episode, if I'm correct, right? Well, I'll take our hats off. Yeah.

I mean, if we, I think we're posting a video. If it gets 50 comments in the video, then we're going to do it as the outro. I think there's going to be a good chance. That's going to be the outro song. That's great, man. Yeah, you know, I'm trying to switch up careers. I've been writing my own AI songs for a while and now I'm getting into singing myself. It's exciting, man.

Get this guy and he got. Yeah. He wrote an AI song on the spot on this podcast. Everybody wants it to be the intro and the outro. Yeah. It's that good. I mean, come on, guys. Guys got it.

Come on, guys. These guys doubt me all the time on there. I don't know why I still doubt him. Yeah. Get out and live. All right. The confidence which Dusty sings badly is almost as good as the confidence of Brian's celebrity impressions.

Well, my celebrity oppressions are good, so I don't agree with this at all. I don't know that I was so confident in my singing, though, to be honest with you. I just was like, I was put on the spot. You weren't shy, though. No, I mean, I'll do it. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

That's how I've always been. I'll do it, but I don't believe that I can. Would you be confident dancing? Oh, no. That's probably my least confident area. I think me too. Even drinking, I was still like, I don't know if I, I don't know if I had. I had a couple weddings where I let it fly a little bit.

Do you feel like it was good? Did people go, wow, Greg, you really tore it up out there? I mean, in a way, I made a spectacle. Yeah. Yeah, I was, I didn't have an outlet. I wasn't doing comedy at the time. I was hamming it up. Oh, no, I get that.

Yeah, trying to get, you know, it was so it's pathetic in a lot of ways. You know, I say that to people a lot. I went before I did comedy, I used to, I was always trying to be funny. Yeah, any way I could get a laugh. And then once I started doing comedy, I had my outlet. Yeah. And now I can be a, you know, a fairly normal person. I can correct to yourself.

I can be a complete sort of normal guy. Yeah, I want to apologize to everybody that I was around for those. 30 years before I started doing comedy because it was loud and annoying. Anytime I see someone from my past, I think. Should I apologize? Yeah.

Brandy Kirkpatrick, as a jail chaplain, I love this episode and giggle at all of your day one strategies. I miss you guys. Go to prison. Day one, what's your strategy?

What's your game plan? I said I'd get a big tattoo. I saw the breakfast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I think we, I think you guys did talk about the ulterior message that that could be sending. Yeah.

I think you could get live, brother. I don't know why she giggled at mine. I said I would fast and pray and meditate. She's a chaplain. She's a bad chaplain. She's basically saying, good luck, buddy. That ain't going to do it.

Yeah, no, no. This chaplain doesn't have a lot of faith. Yeah. Oh, my first move. I mean, I didn't say this, but I'd go further. I would say, a gang, public figures. Oh, yeah.

Throw up the P.F. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that could work. Except it'd be like, hello, folks. How do you do, everybody? That'll do it. That's what you should do. Walk into prison.

Hello, folks. Hello, common folks. I don't know. I just muffle the sobs and cries in my pillow. That's one of my biggest fears getting sent away from. Yeah, God. Greg, what you don't want anyone to say is, This guy was an all-American wrestler.

He could take anybody in here. Yeah. I think I'd just start doing push-ups. That's what Dusty said. Yeah, I'd just start doing a lot of push-ups. Because you really got nothing else to do. Go out of the yard, do some grounding. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm going to be honest, I'm not afraid to talk about it, but if I went into the joint, I'd shut my mouth about grounding for a while. Before you get jammed into the ground. Yeah. I wouldn't. Wish we were doing this podcast from prison, then. Have you all ever done a show in prison?

Yeah. Yeah. Really? I got to do one. I was nowhere near as, like, as good of a comedian as I should have been to do it. Yeah. But I was like four or five years in. Oh, man.

Went to a medium security prison in Ohio. How'd I go? The first show was great. There was an early and a lake. Yeah. And that late show is always tough. Yeah. The first show, the first show, they got, like, refreshments and stuff.

It was like a good behavior. reward. So it was awesome. It was at the chapel and there were pews and we were ripping. It was a great time. And then the late show was just gin pop. Everybody who wants to come, come on. No refreshments. And no refreshments. And they were, they, it was very scary. What were they like silent? You're staring at you? No, no. The opposite of silent. Like yelling at you. Oh, they were stupid. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hating it. Yeah, hating it. And then you see a guy get up and go back to his cell and you're like, man, I must be really bad. Well, you and Brian should do a show together in jail.

Yeah. Yeah, let's do it. A similar experience. Oh, did you? Yeah. I did a guy in twist. Except he didn't have the early show. I had a guy in 23-hour lockup that got up and went on that back.

You know what sounds better? My six-by-six prison cell. Yeah. That's tough, man. What kind of jokes are you making? You go, you guys ever go to the grocery store? God, well, that was what was so hard. No references.

No nothing. You know how when you're just out? Your Uber Eats driver shows up and he gets lost. Yeah. Yeah, I was really just keeping in the woods. And I was just like, there's so much space. Nate used to have a joke about doing a show in prison. He's like, all my jokes were about being on the outside.

Yeah. It's just, it's tough. Yeah. They didn't like it. Who's booking these gigs? I got mine through Stephen Bargatsy. Okay. I'm not going to tell the whole story again,

but basically they did two days of a show. The first day, it was a magician and Stephen Bargazzi. I can't imagine how great that was. I mean, Stephen is a killer. Yeah. They loved it. Day two, word got out how great it is, but it's not Stephen.

It's Brian Bates. Oh, so they all showed up. They were going to get their mind blown. They had so many people there. They had to move it to a trick. Yeah, it didn't go well. Chat Chapman. Chatham? Chattham. Chatham. Chatham. I would say. Y'all's information on prison is funny.

Unfortunately, I've been. There are differences between jail and prison. I think we said that. Prison was the best thing for me at the time. Either you get reformed or institutionalized. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what we said. I mean, I don't want to upset Chatham. Because he's out now. Yeah. And my schedule is online. But I don't know what we said. That was so, like, it is. is a comedy podcast, so thank you for saying it was funny. But I think we do know that prison and jail are different. For sure. Yeah. I mean, never been to prison. This, this comment takes a turn so fast, you know, oh, this was funny, but I've been to prison. And it was the best thing

for me at the time. What's great. It's just like, Chad, I just want to say I agree with everything you're saying. You're the man, Chad. Yeah. These squares don't know what it's, What's what? Are you guys Shudhake Redemption fans? Oh yeah. Oh, yeah, man. Which character you think you'd most relate with?

Ah, Andy, I guess. I guess I'll just beat you to it because, you know, I'm old, so Brooks. No, I didn't want to say Brooks. That's what I said for me. Oh, did you? Yeah, I would not make it on the outside. Yeah. Even if I hadn't been a person.

Yeah. I'd say I was Andy, because Aaron was talking about cooking the books and getting in good with the warden and everything. I think I'd be the. the dumb guy that didn't get the, he's like, well, I mean, Brooks came down and he got him a length of rope. I didn't know what he was going to do with the guy. He was like, what are you talking about? Yeah, I gave him the rope. I don't know. Yeah. Haywood, I think that was that. Haywood, yeah. I think that was Haywood, man. Miles Jones, in my furniture sales days, I don't know what there's appeared there. We actually had a sales technique called the Colombo.

we'd start walking away after a customer said they were just looking, then turn back in with, oh, just one more thing. That's great. Yeah. To mention a special promotion. It really worked. Did Dusty ever try this while selling furniture at Office Depot? No, I was never commission-based.

So when they said just looking, I go, great. I'm trying to take a smoke break. You and me both. That's everything now. I'm about to do my own Colombo and go outside and smoke. Greg, did you do sales technique like that? the sales techniques they never I guess they worked for me but a lot of the formal ones we went to these seminars you know it was like one was a negotiation seminar and this is my favorite part is the guy

he goes whatever the initial offer is you have to be offended by that offer no matter what it is he goes And then he had us, we were grown, droneups, and we had to sit across from each other and practice the face that we would make to indicate that we were offended by that initial offer. Let's see your opinion. Yeah, I mean, I didn't do well. I was like, I went too big. I was like, cartoon.

Soints. Yeah, yeah, I was like, yeah. You know, we had a similar thing when I sold pesticides where we'd have these annual sales meetings and we had a guy come in. His name was Steve Martin. He was not obviously not. Oh, wow. Steve Martin. But he, I mean, it was a big presentation on, he's like doing sales with big money item. I mean, we're selling pesticides here. Yeah, yeah. And he's in the whole seminar, I mean, it is like, we're all like, this is not helpful to any of us. And I'm selling cake mix. I feel like even he was like, what am I doing here? But he's getting a check. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

the other one the guy told this was he was like now let's say let's say the guy comes in at $40 you know and you want the price to be $30 you say 20 that way you're just meet in the middle I'm like yeah man that's taking the average of two numbers and we learned it in you know fifth grade like like I don't this teach me the technique that that you were able to convince Procter & Gamble to give you, you know, $50,000 coming and teach us middle school math. Yeah, teach us that because somehow you trick somebody into something. Yeah.

Procter & Gamble was like, we could get them entertainment or we could get this guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need to up our sales. Yeah. Easiest sales job I ever had is I worked a summer at American Eagle and sold women's jeans. And that was a cakewalk. Oh, yeah? I was like top three in the company.

How'd you do it? Yeah. She'd be like, you look great. Yeah. They come out of the dressing room. I was like 18 years old. And they were like, how do these look? I was like, incredible.

Yeah, turn around. Can I get your number? Yeah, yeah. Get two or three pairs of those, honestly. Yeah. Let's get you into a low-rise boot. That's, man. That's really good.

Yeah, not bad at all. Mo. You think his pants look pretty good? Oh, yeah. I like the cuff. I like the fit. Thanks, man. Yeah, they're good.

They breathe. Now do your offended thing. Yeah. What? God, Zooks. Yeah, I over did it. Too big. That's too big, Greg.

Let's take it down. Mo. Ho-Dap. Right? Yeah. These guys have been in prison, too. I want to get the podcast thoughts on something that makes me shake my head when I check out at grocery stores and restaurants these days.

The request for the round-up donation at the end of the transaction. Asking for that change to the next whole dollar amount to donate to charity or local organizations. Seems very altruistic and generous, and it's positive for the charity, but the corporation gets a tax break for it. Well, I have a joke about that on Worried. Yes, you do. Yeah. The Nateland YouTube channel. I was in St. Louis, your buddy Ron at the funny book. Ron? Yeah. Yeah. Was the one driving me around. Yeah. Yeah. That was for the Ronald McDonald charity, right? Yeah. I want to ruin the joke. But they said, 893, but they didn't say. They said, you want to round up to $9 for charity? And I'm like, no. I never do it.

And then I said to Ron, like they didn't even say what the charity was. I ain't given. He's like, well, it's probably for the Ronald McDonald's house. I know because when my daughter stayed there for some time. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, it's a great place. It's really. Jokes funnier in the special, but it's very good, Joe. Here it seems a bit sad.

Yeah. Well, Brian doubled down. He's like, what's seven cents going to do for the Ronald McDonald's? Exactly. It worries me for the rest of the special. Andy Babos.

It went a little south after that. The special did? I was kidding, man. It's great special. It is great. I can't even see you over there. Andy Babos, I'm curious if as a comedian you're not always as present

living your day-to-day life, do you ever find yourself cataloging observations, events, or situations for your material instead of being more present? I'll answer this one honestly I think when I am present is when I'm seeing the most the most angles for my act you know I wish I was that tuned in to comedy

yeah I'm raising tadpoles right now guys yeah and kids I was bad to say that order is that what we call them yeah yeah tadpoles I just feel like that he's saying that we're so trapped into what crafting our jokes and paying attention that we're not even living our life. And I do not think that's me.

You got too much going on, man. Yeah, I mean, I... Yeah. All the baby slaves running around, the tadpoles, grounding. Yeah. It's a busy schedule. What do you guys say?

I mean, I see what he's saying. But no, I think I kind of agree with Greg. Like, when you're most focused on what's going on is... I don't know. I try to check in every now, man. I mean, I don't know. I, if I was talking to a young comic, I'd be like, well, I don't have time to think. Just about three times a day, just go like that and go like that and think and for 10 seconds and just notice what's around you and you might get something.

And I do not do that enough. I wish I would do that more. Just stop, look around a little bit. Great. Thank you. You got me so much great advice leading up to the special. I did? Yeah.

Always record your sets and listen to them. Oh, yeah. because you'll just pick up stuff. Anything you write about, there's probably a lot more with that topic that you could keep going. That's a big...

Probably hadn't mind it. That's a big Mike Barbaglia one that I... Like whatever your best thing is, you probably haven't gotten to the end of it. You probably got to... There's false bottoms. Keep going down further.

Yeah. But I mean, there's a million different ways to do it. There's people that have... There's people that don't listen in their sets at all. are fantastic. Tony Mott's. I am from Cincinnati

and take Skyline chili fairly seriously. Now we're talking. Spoiler, it's not really chilly. It's simply a sauce to put on your spaghetti or hot dog and cover with shredded cheese. Hope you're brave enough

to try Skyline or any number of Cincinnati-style chili parlors the next time you're in town. While you're at it, you should try one of our local delicacies Gweta. Getta.

Getta. It's excellent. We have festivals dedicated to it. That is great. I like any type of food I like when they say are you brave enough to try it I don't know

maybe I'm just desensitized to it because Skyline I've been eating it my whole life it's not that horrendous of a thing people get it all worked up and say are you so brave getta is the one that oh Geta is brave well get is like what Scrapple is what they call it

in other places okay it's like Oweets he's referencing Skyline when he says you oh really brave yeah I wouldn't think it takes any brave other than the Skyline has got some calories in it. No doubt. Yeah, I mean, like my thing was, I liked it, fine. But if I was going to like eat that many, I'd probably rather do it with like a

bunch of cookies. Yeah, it's good though. I mean, it's got chocolate in it. Yes, cinnamon in it. It's a bollinié's. Yeah, what, now what? And then you get a three way, a four way, a five way or what, yeah, which one did you do? I'm a chili cheese dog guy.

I like the just the Cooney. The Cooney. I like the Coney. I hold the onions. I'm not fan of a raw onion. I think it's kind of overpowers the dish. And then I'm a three-way man. What? You more of a five-way man yourself, Dusty? I've never had it, I don't think. Oh, really?

Skyline chili. Yeah, that's great. Some people gave me some cans of it one time while I was there. And I, you know, I did not eat those. My wife is from Cincinnati. So she is like dyed in the cloth, a skyline fan. Did she like Gold Star 2? I mean, it's sort of the other chain?

She'll eat both, but Skyline wins in her home, in her household. I had spaghetti today where I put some homemade tomato soup that I made on top of it. Love soup. Yeah. A little bit. Just viscous. Just a little bit. I didn't make it all soupy.

Yeah. But I added just a little bit. Yeah, just to ask kind of the pasta sauce. One of the things I will say about Skyline soup, there is a mountain of shredded cheese on top of everything. Yeah, that's where your calories. It is so much cheese, man. It's excellent. I say a lot of shredded cheese like that.

They'll put wood chips in there to keep the cheese from sticking together. Yeah. It's good for grounding. It is. Yeah. Just put your hand on it. Become the tree. Interesting.

You said something about grounding. If you shred it yourself, obviously it's not there. But package shredded cheese, they do say they put a lot of little sawdust kind of in there to keep it from sticking together. Yeah. I think that there's something to think about. The best way to take in Skyline would be the Skyline dip. Okay. You have that skyline dip.

Serve that at your next Super Bowl party. Skyline chili. Yeah. Cheese. Yeah. A little sour cream. Yeah. It's excellent.

Eat it on a chip. There's one at the top of some, how it was like a individual chill. It wasn't Skyline or Gold Star, but it was at the top of some hill that we went with when I was drinking a lot. one night, night before Easter. We went there. I can't remember the name. Impress, Pleasure, Pleasure Ridge, Chile. Oh, Mount Washington, Chile. Mount Washington, Chile.

I think it might have Mount Washington, Chile. There's Mount Washington, Chile. Okay. Yeah, I think we went to Mount Washington, Chile. Okay. It was good, man. I'm not even really that into chili. Oh, I like chili.

Shocking. Regular chili. You know, like, really? But it seems like a lot of devotion to chili here. Oh, in Cincinnati, it's a whole... I love chili. Yeah, it's like, uh, bar. barbecue in Kansas City.

I mean, it's just every corner. They really get into it. What do you think that's all about? It's, it's, it's slop. It's, I mean, I love it, but I think that it's, it was a very cheap thing to make back in the day, and everybody ate it. Yeah. It was the thing that united the city.

And now Gold Star's kind of switched up. They don't even have chili in their name anymore. They just go by Gold Star. Oh, really? Yeah. Do they have chili dogs? They got chili dogs. They call them conies.

Yeah. They call them conies. Yeah. Gold Star is now just rebranding, big into burgers and stuff. Really? Yes. Gold Star's got burgers? And they're killer.

All right. I'll do that. And they're killer. The burger locator. You know, life insurance is one of those things most of us don't think about until something makes it feel real. Maybe it's a conversation with your spouse or. parents, the loss of someone close to you, or a big milestone like having a kid or buying a house, whatever it is, those moments have a way of making you realize it's something worth looking into.

You know what I mean? Yeah, man. I have life insurance. It makes me feel safe since I'm constantly traveling and have the safety of knowing my family will be taken care of no matter what. Before I got life insurance, I would stop and think what would happen to my family. if we did not have it. The stress it would add, having life insurance takes away those worries.

Nate Dogg. Yeah, Nate Dogg. I don't think Nate Dog's as big as Nate, though. Not now, but if, you know, maybe if they were at the same time. At the top of his game, Nate Dogg was not as big as Nate. Hey, if that's a list of famous Bryans, then I've got Bates one. Brian Cox. Well, Brian Regan. He spells it different. I mean, I mean, sorry, Brian Cranston's what I'm. Brian Adams.

Brian Adams. Brian Baumgartner is having a moment right now. Brian Austin. Brian Austin Green, he's got your beat. I mean, sorry. You know. Such a recognizable face. Yeah, Brian Austin Green's got your beat.

Hey, there he is. Look at that. I'm up in there, guys. There you go, man. That's what I'm talking about. Dude, you're... It's a rough pick. I think you...

I mean, that is what I look like. That is a... You look better than that. Seriously, man, you may have this. Yeah. I'm Dusty Baker's... Yeah. Dusty Bakers, he's up there, man. But only with baseball fans.

So, you know what I mean? Yeah, but he's... I bet you, like, non-baseball fans would know Dusty Baker. I mean, a lot of the Dusties don't even get the picture up there. Who's just Dusty Paine surfer? I was going to say... Oh, Dusty Ray? A painter? There's a Dusty May that just became head coach of the Dallas Pabberts.

Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, but Dusty Slay-Begger. Saw that. Good call. Yeah. Dusty Rhodes, Dusty Slay, Dusty Baker. That's like the final group. Yeah.

Dusty Hill, but then he's in ZZ-Tops. They don't really know him individually. And I think, honestly, I think you're, you know, you got this book coming out. Yeah. Your best works ahead of you. I'm about to take it. Yeah, you're about, I think you got some big stuff coming up. All right.

Speaking of rough pictures, look at Nate and that. He's glowed up since those days. He just looks like he's been partying a bit in that way. Yeah, his hair's a little dishelling. Nate Diaz pretty well-known. guy. Is that a fighter? UFC fighter, yeah.

Yeah. Nate Dog. Nate's got this by far. Nate Dog, Dodd? Yeah, it's Nate by. Yeah, Nate's got this by a mile. Let's see, though. I mean, if you get a Nathan, maybe.

Nate Robinson, love that. Slam dunk champ. I don't even know these people. None of them. None of them, man. Nate Robinson just liked Aaron should say to me one of Aaron's post. His videos. He, like, commented on it.

I've heard of Nate. Nate Berkus. I've heard of Nate Burgess. Who's that? He, uh... Looks like a... Vince Vaughn. He's been featured a little-proof-free show.

Oh, okay. He was a talk show host, yeah. What's the... What was the show? Nathan... Nathan for you? Yeah, Nathan for you. Yeah, yeah.

I think Nate's got it, though. That's Nathan Fielder. Yeah. And then Nathan, the actor. Why can't I think of his name? Nathan Lane? Nathan Lane. Nathan Lane, yeah.

Nathan Lane, still, Nate's got him. Oh, is he from, like, Birdcage back of the day? Yeah, yeah, Nathan Lane. Yeah, very talented. I think he went to my high school. He's a... He's my babysitter. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Then as far as Greg, Greg Garcia's probably got you. Yeah, I guess so. I mean, he's, you know. Yeah. So it's probably him, then you, as far as Greg's. But you also got Greg Oman.

Greg Oman, pretty big. I think Greg's got him. You know, the character Greg Brady. Greg Kinnear is one of my favorite actors. There's a, there's a, Greg Norman. There's an NFL, NFL punter named Greg Warren, who was, yeah. No, I'm sorry, a long snapper. Oh, Greg Gutfeld.

Gutfeld, yeah. Very well known. Greg Abbott. Yeah. Greg Olson. Greg Olson. Two Greg Olson. Wasn't there catcher and a pitcher, Greg Olickor?

Greg Olson? There was. Yeah. And a tight end. And a comedian in Cincinnati. Greg Olson. Greg Oden. Y'all ever, oh, I like a y'all in here, y'all ever notice how being an adult basically means you're always carrying around some kind of emergency energy source, like coffee in one hand and an energy drink in the other, just trying to work without crashing. I started noticing how coffee just made me more anxious. Oh, and talking to Aaron about it, who's not here, but I was talking to him another time. That's why he started using ultra pouches. They've been a complete game changer for him. Aaron tried ultra while we were on a Nate Land cruise in February, and he loves them now. They're completely nicotine-free and caffeine-free, which sounds confusing at first because you're like,

well, then, what's the point? It's because they use clinically proven new tropics and adaptogens to deliver immediate focus and smooth energy that last one to two hours. These are truly clean plant-powered pouches designed to sharpen your mind and lift your energy, all without caffeine, nicotine, or crash. And if you're fasting or on a diet, ultra pouches actually help quiet cravings and suppress appetite, keeping you locked in to achieve your goals, Aaron always gets his favorite flavor watermelon. He says it tastes like fancy gas station candy, but they have four other great flavors, cool mint, winter green, tropical, and blue raz. Ultra is the ultimate guilt-free pouch,

delivering instant focus and mental clarity without nicotine or caffeine. New customers can use code Nateland to get 15% off at takeultra.com. That's take ultra.com.

Now, let's do the guys back here. Just keep going. Ain't a lot of Lee's out there.

There's not a lot of Lee. Oh, forget. We haven't done you. We don't got to do it, Lee. David Lee Roth. Yeah, a lot of middle names. Yeah. I think we've all worn.

Lee Harvey Oswald might actually be the most famous. Oh, I mean, Lee Greenwood's pretty big. Lee Greenwood's up there. Oh, you've got all the Asian Lees. Lee Hinchcliffe. Lee Hinchcliff hosts let loose at the lab. All right. Ah, yeah.

Mostly Asians. Oh, Lee Bryce. There you go. Yeah. Oh, Lee Majors, man. Come on. Six million dollar man. Yeah.

Oh, it's just... Lee Sun Koo. It's just all Korean people. Yeah. Lee Kimbril, very Korean name, honestly. Yeah. Lee Kim. There's Lee Greenwood.

I mean, Lee Greenwood. Kind of got a little disrespected. There was a movement for a while to try to make Lee Greenwood's song. Lucy, Luce. Lee So, National Anthem. That got some, I think it was in the 90s. Little traction on that. It did get some traction.

I could sing that one too. If tomorrow, no, I'm not going to do it though, but I can. Not yet. Don't pull me in like that. If tomorrow all the things were gone. I'll do that also. I worked for all my life. I could do it.

And I'd had to, no, I'm not going to do it. I know, just keep doing it. William Lay, Kentucky is Southern. Stand up. Next to you. And defend here's still today. Okay. Sorry, William.

Kentucky is Southern from Lexington below. Louisville is Midwest, not Southern. So I've asked this question. I put these in, that end of the skyline for you, Lee. I've said in the past Kentucky I think of as a southern state but when I get up to Louisville and Lexington it feels Midwest

I will give Louisville that nod Lexington to me it's still just feels southern you've got Keenland you've got SEC basketball horse race and really parts of Louisville are very southern

it's just a much bigger city Vow's a Louisville girl she probably doesn't appreciate the Midwest mark. Yeah. But do you consider Cincinnati Midwest, right? Cincinnati is Midwest.

Yeah, Cincinnati. Pretty close. I mean, I think... Like an hour 40? I think Lexington is a an incredibly special place. I think it's rare. I don't know if you can even put a label on it.

It's just, it's so different than anywhere I've been. There's just a charm to it. I will take that. I would have to agree. And really the whole state of Kentucky, You get in some places and you're like, well, this is certainly what you would consider Southern. But everyone north of Kentucky thinks Kentucky's a bunch of hillbillies.

And then everybody south of Kentucky thinks that Kentucky is a bunch of Yankees. And we're just living in the middle saying, hey, I don't really care. It sounds like Midwest. Yeah. No. I'd say, yeah. No. Just prove your point. No, I'm taking Southern.

Even though we are about, what, three and a half hours away from the Canadian border. I still claim Southern. Covington, you'd have to say, is Midwest. Covington's Midwest and Cincinnati. When you go to Cincinnati from Nashville, do you go through Louisville or do you go through Lexington? About 50-50. It depends if I want to, if I'm going to have enough time to stop by and visit my parents. But I typically go through Louisville.

Do you understand what you just said? What? He said, do you go through Lexington or Louisville? You go, well, if I stop by Lexington, then I go through Lexington. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So that determines Which way I'm going Yeah

If I got time to see mom and dad Honey and Baba We're going through the Lexington route But I'd say Louisville is probably an easier route Josh Needs Country Club is technically in Kentucky Just a little bit south of Cincinnati Yes

And I told him I said My hotel's right down the street From the Ark encounter And he was like What? Why would you? You were out there He's like Why would you go?

I said, that's the way my GPS route him. He's like, I always go through Louisville. But I went through Lexington. That's what my GPS told me to do. Where is your hotel? Where was it? Where the arc encounter? The ark.

You're with the ark? They made a, they made a Noah's Ark. Oh, really? Like life size. In Kentucky. And that's where my hotel was. But he was just surprised I would go through Lexington. How deep into Kentucky?

I mean, it's way on up there. It's like 45 minutes outside of Cincinnati. Yeah. What? Yeah. Like Florence? Like dry ridge. Man, why would you do that?

Yeah, I don't even understand what you're asking. Why wouldn't you just stay in Cincinnati? I never even made it Cincinnati. His country club is in Kentucky, just outside of Cincinnati. I know, but why wouldn't you stay in Covington, like right on the border or Newport or something like that? You wanted to be safe. I wanted a hotel that... Is this a money thing?

I want a hotel that wasn't north of where I was going. So you went an hour south? I went about 25 minutes south of where the gig was that's headed on the right direction. I don't see what's weird about that. Is it that you're so used to playing these tertiary markets that you just didn't feel comfortable? If I knew what tertiary meant, I'd be offended. I did, you know, I did the old Cincinnati Funny Bone, as it was called, in Newport, Kentucky. Man, that was.

Oh, you did the Newport one. I did that. I featured for Airy Spears there, and I stayed at the comedy condo, which was maybe the worst condo. Oh, which was maybe the worst condo. I've heard it was terrible. In the history of condos. Yeah. And it was really bad.

Yeah, that thing, that club was rowdy, man. So rowdy. Yeah. Aerie Spears, I'm up. But thankfully, I opened the show. I did 15 minutes and I'm out of there. And it was okay. That club was crazy.

And then I think the manager got arrested. Yes. Stealing. Like, like six figures. Yeah. A lot of money. And then it shut down. And they moved about as far away as they could get, was still calling.

at Cincinnati. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Liberty. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that place closed down, sadly, like five months after I started comedy.

I never got to perform there. It was, it was, I had some fun there, but it was notoriously a crazy crowd. I think they gave a lot of free tickets away. I actually liked that manager, though. Oh, I liked that. I knew, I knew his family. Yeah, I liked him. I knew him.

I knew his family. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there was, there was like people standing up and yelling. and yeah it was nuts I don't know if this is just like one of those things that get spread around if it's true or not

but was the Newport Funny Bone was it the last place that Mitch Hedberg performed? I know but I did work with him that week I featured for him that week when he was at Newport did you? Yeah man Mitch is such a nice guy man Every story is that he's a man He was so I remember we like

I gave a ride back to the hotel And this I think that was probably six weeks before Mitch died Yeah. But I gave him a ride back to the hotel. One, he bought a shot for everybody in the audience. Crazy. On stage, he goes, I want to get everybody a shot. And the manager I knew Tina at the time, she's like,

aha. I'm like, no, he means this. He's going to buy everybody in the show, in the audience a shot. So he did that. And then, like, his wife, Lynn, tipped me. You know, Mitch wanted to have this. And then I remember we were, we walked all the way down to the car. which was a ways in that place, like in this parking garage.

I was like, hey, he goes, man, we got to go back to this. I promise these guys I'd do a shot with him after. They were just fans. He just, he goes, I promise. And he was huge at the time. He goes, I promise these guys I would do a shot with him after the show. So we had to walk. We walked all the way back into this restaurant.

Like, we found him. He did a shot and then we walked back out. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he was just like a guy. He's a really, really cool dude, man. And obviously a genius. But yeah, I was there. I was there that week, man.

That's a, yeah. What a feature. He was so nice to me. What did it cost to buy a shot for everybody in the audience? Man, it was a lot. I was doing that, Matt, that's a thousand bucks at least. Yeah, and I think, you know, I don't know whether they figured it out later, but like, I think he paid sticker for it, you know? Oh, no.

Yeah, which was, it was quite a bit. Yeah. Now, Mitch was making some pretty great money. I'm going to tell this story, and I've told it, I told it on another podcast, but I just think it's such an entertaining story. It's not my story. but I heard this about Mitch. This is like how his mind works. Towards the end of his life, he was kind of off the grid.

And him and Lynn were just going hotel to hotel, and Mitch didn't have credit cards. I mean, he was making a ton of money. He was huge. So he just had a bunch of cash. And they'd go to some hotel. It wasn't like a really nice hotel, but they go to this hotel,

and they check in and the kid goes, and he's like, I want a room. And the kid goes, well, I need a credit card. and Mitch goes, well, I don't have a credit card. He goes, well, you need a credit card. Mitch goes, I have this. And he pulled out, you know, just a stack of money, like, you know, probably banded it up and just put it down. And the kid goes, he goes, no, man, you need a credit card.

I still need a credit card. Mitch goes, no, man, this is what the credit card represents. He goes, that would be like if you hired a Frank Sinatra impersonator and Frank Sinatra showed up and you're like, no, man, I hired an impersonator, which I just, I wasn't even a bit, but I thought it's like genius the way his mind works. Yeah, that's great. Yeah. I'm serious debating whether to do these last two comments and not even get in the topic or

I think you should do this one here, though. I like Craigs. All right, let's do Craig. Yeah, you got to give it to Craig. But then Doug's, you know, you're not going to come up to. Craig Johnson, I could listen to Dusty's conspiracy theories all day. the more outlandish, the better. I love how every time Dusty brings one up,

you can just hear how in the way breakfast gets. I'm on team Bump Dusty rather than Dump Dusty. Is that guy still around? The Dump Dusted guy, I haven't seen him in a while. I hope he's blocked. But he's blocked on all my social media. But he's just not fun, the Dump Dasty guy. Yeah, I got a guy similar.

If he were fun, I would have fun with it. Yeah, yeah. And he also, if he's just not fun, you comment there's two other people that always come to his defense almost like it's all his accounts yeah yeah Aaron and Brian but Brian's burner account I'll tell you Craig the thing is Brian Brian Brian's not annoyed he likes it he likes it he wants to bring him up he listens to my podcast so he can try to get some dirt on me to bring into this podcast would you say that some of them are outlandish or you think they're right down the middle every one of them I want

Once in a while, I'll do a fun outlandish one, you know, but the rest of them are all true. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty true. Yeah, what was the one you had? Well, they're all great. You don't trust maps. Yeah, I mean, who? How'd they figure that out?

Well, it's like, do we really just trust that the people that run the world are like, yeah, this is all there is, guys. Well, we know, we know that there are things about maps that are widely distributed. that are off, like as far as, I mean, the size of the size of certain continents. Oh, yeah, it doesn't look. They're way off. Way off, yeah. That was a West Wing episode. Yes.

Yes. Yeah, yeah. Exactly. Because the world's around and not flat. Dust, do you want to take this? I got nothing. I got nothing, guys. I got nothing.

Lee, what's a conspiracy theory that you're into? Oh, man. I, uh, kind of just like, a forgotten history alternate timeline type thing i don't think that we go back uh what five six seven thousand years people go this is exactly what was happening then i go probably not though right oh so once you get a certain place you're like nobody like yeah what are we doing you're saying like the the victors write the history yeah yeah yeah yeah absolutely that's that's that's how it goes yeah yeah yeah i like that one well i don't know

we were going to get into uh the seven wonders i don't know if we will or not but But a great one with that. Well, go ahead. Great Wall of China. So, all right, hold on. Conspiracy theory about the Great Wall of China. So this week's episode. Not that great, huh?

The Mid-Wall of China. It's a good wall, actually. All right, so this is we were talking about Seven Wonders of the World. One of them is the Great Wall of China. What's your conspiracy theory? Well, the... I'm with you on this, though. I already know it.

The part of the wall, so if you build a wall to defend your land, the notched part of the wall faces towards who you are trying to keep out. Yeah. Well, on the Great Wall of China, the notched, the defense side of the wall faces China. So was China trying to keep something in, or did China roll up on the Great Wall of China and just kind of discover this pre-existing wall and say, hey, let's put China at the end of this great wall and call it ours. so it could have been some previous currently unknown or unbelieved in society civilization made that wall.

I went down that rabbit hole last night a little bit. The Tartarian Empire. You said it. Wow. You said it. I know the way you guys. Now we're talking, maybe. If I can get ahead of it, then I can try to like...

Tartarians? I wasn't even going to bring up Tartaria, but hey. Oh, it's Tartar. A fringe pseudo-history theory. They used to eat their... Never, I'm not. On a little fish stick. Everything was raw in that community.

Theorists argue that the wall's defensive, fortified elements face south toward China rather than north, saying it was built to keep the Chinese population out. Historians heavily debunk this, pointed out that the gates and battlements faced outward toward normatic territories to secure the border. And who knows? That's the thing, right? I'm not there walking around the wall, so I don't know. Pretty agnostic on most things.

Well, it's like you just, you see it, you talk about it, you go, this is fun, it doesn't matter. Yeah. You know? That's the end of every conspiracy theory is, yeah, I don't really care, though. It's like. Well, not all of them. No, yes. Not all of them.

Some of them have done some damage. Whatever. Yeah. Yeah. This says it's the Taratarian Empire, it's a technologically advanced civilization. So it's kind of like the Wakandans, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Like this world. I'm like, you know, I'm on the fence with that. But I... You're on the wall. But yes. I've never heard Dusty not be in. No, it does.

I don't know. I just don't know specifics, but it does seem like sometimes that there was a greater technology in the old times than they lead on. like the Des Moines, Iowa State Capitol. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

All day long. It's like the time in which that was built, and then you, I've been inside that thing. It's unbelievable. Yes. People were living in huts, building with. No running water. Yeah, building with a horse and buggy and mules and that thing's unbelievable. And that kind of goes along with all of the, like the state fairs and the early part of our country.

The world's fairs. Fairs, not the state fairs. The world fairs where they would, they built all of these big, gigantic, magnificent buildings and then tore them down. Even in Nashville, we have the exact replica of the Parthenon. Oh, yeah. From Greece, it's like this amazing built. Like, why?

Why do we have that? You think it was built by aliens? I don't know who built it, but I'm just saying, and in this time, you know, building with horse and buggy or whatever. And it's like, why you got a 50-foot. at the largest indoor statue, I think, in the country, maybe the world? Yes. Indoor statue.

Why? Athena? Yeah. Why slash how? And I think it's like, you know, it comes to kind of bring it back to the grounding. I don't think any of this like lost technology. Thank God, man. I don't think the lost technology is some like, you know, some machine or some crazy robot or some wild technology.

It's more so just people. in eras past were able to kind of harness the power of the universe and the earth a little bit better maybe sound resonation or vibrations or anything like that teamwork man teamwork yeah count in the universe being one a member of the team yeah like it's like they built stuff like that and then we got a you know we got a dunk and donuts across the tree that took eight months to build it took so long that took almost a calendar year to figure out. Yeah.

The Great Wall of China, 13,000 miles long. So if it was laid stretched out, it would be over half of the circumference of the earth. Wow. I guess it circles around. Zigs and zags. Because I'm thinking half the earth is not even all of China. Like what is the United States is like 2,800 miles. So it could go around the entire United States like a couple of times, a few times.

Yeah, yeah. And that's not all connected. It's got a lot of missing. It's not one. And a lot of it is through like, yeah, very mountainous terrain. Wasn't there a Matt Damon movie where they were like fighting some kind of? Like big creatures. Yeah.

Yeah. I watched that. That's great. Goodwill hunting, I think. Yeah. How do you like them apples? They're throwing apples over the wall. What was that movie?

The Great Wall. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, uh... I wonder how they came up with that name.

I'll, uh, I'll start by just sharing the list, if you don't mind. Okay. There's basically three separate groups of the seven wonders of the world. There's the seven ancient wonders, the seven natural wonders and the seven modern day or seven, what did they call it? Just the new seven wonders of the world. New seven? A new seven. Screaming Eagle.

Roller coaster. St. Louis, Missouri. I thought you would go say St. Louis Arch. The Arch, definitely. I was going to ask you guys, what would be the United States? You'd say Rupp Arena, Salas Arch, Western Sizzling.

Yeah, yeah. I would have said Bucky's until I saw that Dolly Parton truck stop. Yeah, yeah. Now she's in the running. Yeah, yeah. Chest to chest. I mean, I think,

I mean, obviously, Grand Canyon's there, right? But that's... All right, so that's a natural wonder. So the seven natural wonders the world. Really? You know that, right?

I didn't know that. See, that's the good thing. That's the reaction they were looking for. What? You don't have any theories that somebody else built that, the Grand Canyon? Yeah, well, I don't think they built it, but I don't know.

I don't know. We don't know everything about the Grand Canyon. I don't believe the story that a river cut through it over thousands of years. Yeah. What do you think, Lee? I'm leaning more a little bit towards dusty on this one, you know. Somebody just got some shovels out there and some sort of quarry, perhaps.

Yeah. Tartarians. Because why are all the rivers not making Grand Canyons out here? Well, they are. It's just going to take a while. But that's the oldest river? I think it's the terrain that's... The Mississippi River.

I mean, that canyon should be unbelievable. It's going to be something. You wait a couple millennia. I can't wait to say it. It's going to be something. It's going to read ice. Mississippi Canyon. It's got to mean something, dude.

Greg, which list would you let me to read first? I mean, I think the natural. All right. Grand Canyon. Great Barrier Reef. Oh, yeah. Mount Everest. I heard that the coral reefs are dying because people put on so much sunscreen.

Oh, you told me that the other day. You're probably not a big believer in sunscreen, are you? I'm not into it. Get right into it. BPPAs, man. It's killing the reefs. These guys are letting loose. The harbor of Rio de Janeiro.

Victoria Falls in Africa. Oh, yeah. The Paracutan volcano in Mexico. And the Aurora Borealis, which is hard. I mean, that's just. It's up there. You could call the moon one of those. The northern lights.

The northern lights. We saw them on the way to, when we went to Europe with Nate, we saw the northern lights. It's through the plane. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. It's pretty cool. I'm not into the natural wonders of the world list.

Okay, sorry, man. I mean, I, you know. You're not into God's creation. You want to get into what we made. He just doesn't believe they're all natural. Well, I just don't, honestly, I just don't know. Aurora Boreal is just some guy up in Alaska shooting firewoods. He's a laser pointer.

Yeah, it's dark, you know, months of the year. That's a Roman candle, man. That's right. That's right, guys. The seven ancient wonders. Great Pyramid of Giza. Giza. Giza.

Giza. I'm not from up north like you are. Giza. Easy. Gizzas wild. Excuse me. The hanging. What about the leaning tower of Pizzah?

What about the leaning tower of Pizzah? You guys are just full of jokes. The hanging gardens of Babylon. That's in Iraq. The, oh, you guys, I got this here. You're cheating. Statue of Zeus and Olympia. Tipal of Artemis and Turkey,

mausoleum of something in Turkey, Colossus of Rhodes and Greece and Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt. So they're all two Egypt, two Turkey, two Greece, one Iraq. Sounds pretty pagan to me. And is the only one that's still around the Great Pyramid of Giza?

Yes. What about the other pyramids? They're not in there? I think that's, no, they're not in there. The Baspro. No,

the Baspro pyramid. Memphis? Yeah, yeah. That should be in there. That should be in there, man. I think that's the largest pyramid in North America. Bass pro.

How'd they build that? Had to have been aliens, no, nobody, nobody knows. Memphis? Come on. Yeah.

And then the, the new seven wonders of the world. That's where Bucky's is. Yeah. Yeah. It's time for a new, new one. Well, this just came out in 2007. Oh. Yeah, you got to let this sit for a while.

Just 20 years ago. We've done a lot in the last 20 years ago. There was a bunch of finalists. Stonehenge was one of the finalists. Stonehenge is, no, it's still there. I thought that was old. They got rid of... Well, it's not like actually new.

It's just new that we deemed them new. Well, it's just a new list. It's like a Hall of Fame. Because six out of those seven are no longer around. We're letting some new ones in. Yeah. You remember that one? The Georgia Guidestones?

You remember that one? Oh, yeah. What's that? It was kind of like a... Like in a doomsday. Yeah, like a new Stonehenge sort of thing. They didn't... Nobody really knew where it came from.

And now it's been torn down. No one knew who funded it or made it. It just kind of popped up. And it had all these like, you know, it was like, I think its purpose was that if there was an apocalypse of some sort, the Georgia Guidestones would guide people back on how to resettle civilization. Yeah, had a list on how to maintain. the population below a certain amount.

Really? Yeah. It's weird. It's a weird one. Anyway, Great Wall of China, which we've already covered. Oh, that made it on the new one? Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. We need an update. Okay. Petra in Jordan. Petra. Yeah. Is that a statue?

No, that's a whole city built in the rocks. It's like carved into a mountain. It's the wildest thing. Yeah. Let's see here. Machu Picchu in the Andes Mountains in Peru. Christ the Redeemer, the giant statue. Oh, that's a big one.

That's huge, right? Yeah. These are all pretty big. I think that's the big. Finally one that impresses Greg. Oh, that's a good one. That one's tall. Isn't Christ the Redeemer like the biggest statue in the world or something?

According to Dusty, it's the Parthenon. No, an indoor statue. Oh, yeah. Christ the Redeemer's huge. There's a big, somewhere like on the way to Indianapolis off the interstate, isn't there a big? Cross? Cross? No, it's like, it's like a Jesus representation.

Oh, no, that is up in where we were talking about, Cincinnati. That's Cincinnati to Columbus. Yeah, it's huge. Oh, that's, yeah, that's what Hayward. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, that's between Dayton and, no, it's Dayton and Cincinnati. Yes. Yes. Haywood Banks wrote a comedy song.

And it burned down at a certain point in time. Oh, it burned down? It burned down and then they built it back up. Yeah, it was good. Haywood had a, he said, a big butter Jesus. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

Because it looks like it was made of butter. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The Coliseum in Rome, which I've been to. Have you? I have. Is the Oakland Coliseum on there? Because the A's aren't playing there anymore.

Yeah, that's true. The Coliseum, it was originally called the Flavian Amphitheater. They were the media sponsor. It really was called the Flavian. Flavian? It was nicknamed the Coliseum after the Colossus of Nero,

a massive bronze statue that stood right next to it. I don't know how big the Coliseum is. Is it? Nate could do two shows. Okay. Is there any, like, do we have theaters bigger than that?

Or arenas? or whatever. Like, what is it compared to Nissan Stadium? Average audience was 65,000. So it's like a real NFL. It's like an NFL stadium. That's crazy. I didn't realize it.

But that, but say, we have bigger stuff, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, Ohio State. Yeah. Tennessee.

Alabama, I think, holds $100,000. Yeah, yeah. Do they? What's the big? Is Michigan the big? Tennessee, maybe? I think Michigan or Tennessee is the biggest one. It's all, yeah,

I think it's Michigan. Neeland or the big house. Yeah, it's like, so it's tough to be real impressed by the Coliseum when we have bigger. things. We don't have a bigger wall. No. You know, we don't have a, you know, bigger, I think I, city car. It's like built 2,000 years ago.

I think. Yeah, but it's like, well, we, you know, we're doing better now. Yeah. Our wonders. And I mean, look at it. It didn't hold up either. Yeah. I mean, what about maintenance, guys? Yeah. And then the, uh, the Taj Mahal in India. That's an impressive one. My brother's been there. That's the only one you're giving him. I mean, look at that thing. And it's a beautiful story behind it.

It's no Des Moines, Iowa Capitol building. Certainly not. What's the story? A guy built that for his wife. No, their last name was Mahal. Yeah, Shah Jahan. Yeah, that's his wife. Muntaz Mahal.

She passed away, and he was so tore up about it that he built the Taj Mahal. Wow. It took 22 years to build. This guy really holds on the grief. You know, after a couple of years that he's like, guys, I didn't really think this through. It's like, I'm back on the apps now. Yeah, I mean, dang. We got to cut this.

Get this guy a date. Yeah, it'd be so awkward to try to go start dating after that. Yeah. You want to come back to my place? It's a tip of my dad. No, he'd probably hide it. So what is this place? Oh, no, it's this.

I thought I was going to need a lot more. Came into a lot of white marble. Yeah. I got a good deal on white marble. I got a good deal. Tosh? Is this your mom? He's trying to unload some white marble.

The white marble looks pink at dawn, bright white at noon, and golden under the moon. Oh, wow. It's really, that one is quite wondrous. Yeah, I can't believe you guys picking shoes which ones you think are amazing. Yeah, man. I mean, the only thing impressed me is that Taj Mahal on here. I don't know why you just didn't cut right to that. Well, Christ was the Redeemer is the only one you had excited about. That's a good one.

That was big, man. Do you all remember right when the COVID lockdowns were happening, the Christ Redeemer got struck by lightning? I remember that. No. It was, that was a scary time of the world. No, I just remember it being a news story, everybody being all up in arms. Is anything small?

It's a good question. No? No. So it needs to be big in order to be a wonder. It's a crazy Google. Yeah, yeah. A small. Yeah, many things are small. No, I didn't mean it. I mean, I knew there's some small stuff. Googling is anything small.

I knew that there was going to be some small stuff. I meant, you know. Yeah, your laptop's small. I was like, yeah, is anything on a list. I mean, I'd come across all kinds of small stuff. Yeah, I mean, that's some small. Yeah, I guess. Yeah, they should have a small thing on there, just like the perfect salt shaker.

And the last one is the Chichin Itza. The what? That seems small. Chichin Itza. I don't know. Chichenita? Chichenita. Mexico.

Yeah, I mean, after you. It's a step pyramid. Okay. Yeah, like it. Not the real one. Yeah. It's just a step pyramid. It's like a treadmill.

There it is. Yeah. I read that the Great Pyramid, if with modern, all the most modern technology we have today, it would still take us five years to build it. I believe it. Yeah.

Yeah, I believe that. Well, it took a year to build Dunk. a donut. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. If the union gets involved. Yeah.

Building it on the sand is just what's so impressive about the pyramid of Giza. Because it gets hot. It gets hot, but you also, it's like, you ever try to pull a cooler with wheels at the beach? I did it. I did it.

Three weeks ago, it was one of the most difficult things. Truly difficult. Now, build the Giza pyramid. I've left coolers at the beach. I didn't want to carry that. This lives here now. Myrtle Beach, I was like, I'll do it. And I was like immediately regretted it.

Yeah. And it was, it was. And they, man, they packed that thing full. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Yeah, 70 pounds of just no traction. I made the feature act of it on the way back. That's what they're for. Who was that?

It was Ryan Beck. Yeah. He's a good friend of mine, very funny guy. God, he's got some good jokes. Strong? Strong feature. Physically. Strong act.

I mean, as far as a cooler point. polar, middle of the road. But on the way back, it's lighter. Yeah, and they did pour some water out and stuff. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, I didn't really test these strength. But yeah, me, strong enough. Okay. So if we did the seven wonders of the United States, what would they be?

Screaming Eagle. No, I don't know. I think you've got to put the Parthenon on there. Well, Statue of Liberty. Statue of Liberty, Parthenon, Space Needle. I'm not putting the Parthenon. It's seven. I mean, we got to be on there.

we got the arch, you got to give us the arch. I'll go with our arch for now. Arts, definitely. Yeah. Space needle, yes or no? Space needle, yeah. The largest indoor statue in the country? Yeah, indoor though, man.

It's wondrous. Well, all right, we'll put it on the short list for now until we get to a parking lot that one. All right, so we got, how many we got here? We got the space needle. And this is manmade or this is any of it? Yeah, this is manmade. What about the thing in Vegas that people are going to? Oh, yeah, the sphere.

That's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, look at that. What? 42 feet tall, largest indoor statue in the United States. Oh, 42.

Arch is like 620, I think. But it's outside. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we got here. Trying to think, yeah. Well, you got Statue of Liberty. You got the arch.

I mean, you got to give us the... Statue, arch. Space natal, the spheres. Mount Rushmore. Yeah, Mount Rushmore. Yeah. That's natural. That's a hybrid.

That's a hybrid. That's five. Six, if you count the parts of nine. Yeah. There's that truck stop, I-80 trucks. The Bass Pro Shop pyramid? Yeah, I don't know if Fast Prochop pyramid. The largest pyramid in the United States.

We'll put it out there for now. Hoover Dam. Hoover Dam. Oh, Hoover Dam. Got to be. The Golden Gate Bridge? I'd say yes. Not impressed.

What about the Golden Gate Bridge? Like, I don't know what it was. Shear size and. I really don't know. I just know it's a very famous bridge. A lot of traffic. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. We were all kind of going man-made for the most part here. Yes. Yeah. Trying to think of any. I mean, you've got Niagara Falls. Those are seven natural. Yeah.

Grand Canyon. Yeah. There's Little Grand Canyon in Illinois. The Little Grand Canyon. Yeah. It's tough to call it little and grand. Yeah. It probably doesn't cut the list, but they're proud of it down there.

Yeah. Southern Illinois. We're doing natural. Death Valley. Yeah. Oh, yeah, man, sure. Oh, the Redwoods. I mean, what about that?

Redwood National Forest. Smoky Mountains. I say put them on there just to. Over the Rockies? Or the Yosemite? Not over, but. Or Yellowstone? Do both of them.

Okay. give us some southern stuff. I mean, I like the Smoky Mountains. I drove through there last year. It was amazing. Yeah. Do you know what? There's been many that have been called the eighth wonder of the world,

but can you name some of the structures that have been the eighth? People have called them. Like at one point in time? There's one I bet you know, Greg used to live there. In Cincinnati or Houston? Houston. The Astrodome? They did call the Astrodome the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was like the first fully enclosed. Yeah, yeah. It was a big deal. Yeah. I guess that's what a dome is.

Yeah, yeah. It was, that thing was, yeah. I mean, I went to games there to watch the Astros. Went to the Houston, Houston Livestock and Rodeo show, which should be one of the wonders of the world. That show shows. It was a big, big rodeo down there.

You got to be unreal. Yeah. Yeah. Dang. And then Andre the Giant Yeah Also called the eighth wonder of the world That tracks

I tried to do The Seven Wonders of Comedy Oh yeah I did Studio 8H Where Saturday Dot Live is Okay Okay At the comedy store

Zanis Comedy seller Zanis Sure Second City Okay I'm branching out from just Where else

I feel like Johnny Carson's set in Burbank I know it's not comedy specific but the Ryman Rhyman Rhyman Auditorium Yeah Yeah it's not comedy specific

It's not kind of be No but it is Probably the best place to do comedy Um Go ahead Is it I've been lucky enough

I've gotten to perform there twice I think we see where this is going Yeah Well you just say Hey, I've done the Rhyman. We were talking about venues. He said the store, Zanies. It's a comedy.

I got to go with the Rhyman, right? This is what we're doing. Bridgestone Arena. Oh, you perform there too? Yeah. Oh, wow. I mean, South Bend, Funnybone, when it was open. That was pretty.

The drop in South Bend. Oh, I've been there to the drop. Me too. It was my first feature weekend. It was brutal. I, me and Aaron did that. The drop. Yes.

Yeah. It's a hot spot. Green room in the closet. Yep. Yes. Abby, our fearless producer, Abby. She did a little quiz for us. Let's see how close you guys are listening.

We'll finish on this. Which of the original Seven Wonders is still standing? The Pyramids of Giza. Correct. Oh, are they all not still standing? The original, that's the only one that's still standing. Oh, the ancient ones. The ancient ones, yeah.

The first ones, which, what, second century BC? is when they go, these are the seven wonders of the world? Yeah, that sounds right. If they're not still standing, how do we know that they were even there? Well, I think some of them, there's still some artifacts.

The hanging, what is it, of Babylon? What are? Hanging gardens of Babylon. They think that may not even exist. Yeah, that could have been a myth. Yeah. So, there you go. Yeah.

So it's obviously not there. Yeah, that I don't think they have any even remnants of. No. Just, uh, just, uh, just tails. Tales. People wrote about it, and then those writings were in the Library of Alexandria, which also burned to the ground. But there is still some stuff from the library of...

Fire's really ruining it for us out here. You're not lying. Earthquakes. Machu Picchu? Machu Picchu. It was built without any stuff between the blocks. No joint? Like no joiner?

Well, like... Some space in there. Yeah, cement or whatever, you know, glue, I don't know, whatever they used back then to... stick it together. They did that. They just fit it so perfectly that it still worked with it. Nothing between it. And then during earthquakes, it kept it from falling apart because it would just, they just

rattled a little bit. Amazing. Like we can't, it feels like we can't do that now. No. You know, even some, even today, some contractor would go up there and be like, I mean, look, they missed all that. Yeah. There's holes.

I mean, they say there's no holes, but I've got to put some. It's not airtight. It's not airtight. Not there. Not there. You guys, you hired Lenny, didn't you? You're going to be calling me back in a year, buddy. Which Wonder was built as a monument to love?

Taj Mahal. Very good. The rest of these are pretty easy. Is it love, though? I mean, the... Yeah, Dusty. I'm pretty sure he loved her. Love.

It feels like his own obsession that he has. Or you're going to move on. It feels like he's like, I've always wanted to build this. and now that she's dead, I'll do it. Now I got the time. So you're saying, you're saying your theory is he wanted it, she wouldn't let him build it. She was in the way.

That was always his dream. That is a cynical view of one of the most beautiful stories I've ever heard. That's a very cynical view, man. It's got to be the only person who's ever had that tape. Absolutely, the only person. He got the old ball and chain. I like it. Tosh had a dream.

I mean, guys. That's amazing. The Taj Mahal. You're not going to build that thing as long as I'm alive. Just you wait. They might want to investigate how she died. See, that's how these things get started, man. Yeah.

I had something else I was going to tell you guys. I can't remember what it is. But anyway, we should wrap it up anyway on that. So this weekend, Well, first of all, thank you guys for coming in.
