["Dusty Slay"]
All right guys, hello folks and hey bear. Dusty Slay here for the Nate Land podcast.
And I'm here with my favorite co-host, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, and everybody's favorite
special guest, Greg Warren.
Hi, guys.
The champ.
Welcome back.
The salesman. He's here.
It's good to be here, man. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks for. Welcome back. The salesman. He's here.
It's good to be here, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Thanks for having me back.
Yeah.
Always love it.
Yeah.
We're pumped you're here.
Last week we had Yakov Smirnoff on the podcast and people loved the episode.
I bet, man.
He's a legend.
Yeah.
Two weeks ago.
Two weeks ago.
Yeah.
Last week we did a best of.
Yeah. Yeah, last week we did a best of. Yeah. Yeah. I will say, if I, he bought in hats for us to wear
and I've saw all the videos and I looked terrible
in that hat.
So if you ever see me put on a hat like that,
I want you guys to give me a heads up.
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah, it's kind of on these guys, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I thought you looked good in it.
There's no mirror in here.
So I had no idea.
But I every clip I was like, oh, gosh.
Now, did they look better? They looked better.
There's certain things I can't do.
Ironic redneck looking stuff.
Like if I like I have this NASCAR shirt that I wear for whole life, I'm saying.
But it's not ironic is the point.
And if I wear a NASCAR shirt thinking I'm being ironic, people go, this guy loves NASCAR. They don't see it as irony. That's the point.
So this was an American, and not that the American flag is redneck, but when the American flag is
made into a hat, it starts to become a little redneck.
Man, I don't know. I don't, I don't see that hat that way at all.
I saw it as this is just like Yakov's merch.
I don't think it's hokey or anything like that.
It's just kind of just Yakov's hat.
It says Yakov on it.
It says what a country on it.
Yeah.
But I just think in a, you know, an American flag hat, not a hat with a flag on it, but
a hat that's completely an American flag is, is, you know, a bit redneck.
You're not going to see a lot of.
Well, we're proud where we're from, Dusty.
If you're not, that's fine.
That's crazy.
But I'm proud too, but that's the point, right?
It's like now it's like everybody wears all these, they go, America.
And then they think, and it's like, that seems like a disrespectful to the country.
I had some American flagged shorts at one point that are some of the guys on the cross-country
team got. And then I remember I was wearing them, I think at a wrestling match one time,
my dad was my coach and he was like, no, no, no, no.
Yeah.
I'm like, I don't have any other shorts.
He's like, well then you're not gonna be wearing shorts.
He's like, no, no, no, get that off.
See, it's like, yeah, it feels like a respect.
When he took them off, would you fold it like the flag?
Yeah, in a corner, yeah.
Right, yeah.
Didn't let it touch the ground.
Think of this.
Did you burn them when you were done? We're at one place where you're not. Didn't let it touch the ground. Think of this.
Did you burn them when you were done?
We're at one place where you're not allowed
to let the flag touch the ground.
Right.
A level of respect.
And then we're like, let's put it on a hat
and throw the hat around.
I think I understand what you're saying.
So the whole hat was the flag.
Yeah.
And I'm not making fun of his merch.
No.
What I'm saying is-
He can do it.
When I wear it, it looks, I look like a hillbilly.
I'd hate to see that.
Okay, fair enough. Okay, we're having a good time.
Okay, we're having a good time. Yeah.
Aaron took some heat that episode.
People were saying he was being, I think, rude.
To Yakov or to Dusty?
Well, it was very, it was very vague.
I think that was just what I was saying to you.
But.
It was.
It was.
My people.
But I think they were talking about
when the episode started and I started it
and you're like, oh, I guess you're just taking over
or whatever.
I feel like I do you a disservice
because when I make a snarky snide comment to you,
you laugh, you have a great laugh.
But when you do it to me, I play the straight man
and people take it serious like, oh man,
this guy's being a jerk. Yeah, they're like, the truth is I'm the straight man and people take it serious like, oh man, this guy's being a jerk.
Yeah.
They're like, the truth is I'm the real jerk.
They really think we're hurting your feelings all the time.
Yeah.
People say that about me.
I go, I'm always so nice to Brian.
I make one joke and they go, oh, he only does his trash Brian the whole time.
We've also been sitting here for a minute before the podcast starts now.
So it's not like, you know what I mean?
You're jumping in the middle of us having interacted with each other.
You've already insulted him like seven times.
A hundred times. Off camera? I mean, you wouldn't believe.
That's why he responds on snarking.
Yeah.
Nate text me.
At this point, he's tired of it.
What's going on over here, Dustin?
Well, my mic keeps going down.
Well, that doesn't look redneck at all.
So I'm trying to prop it up.
I've tried to tighten that, but it doesn't.
Yeah, it doesn't want to.
There it is.
Look at that.
Tristan's on every episode now.
He's always trying to work his way in.
Yeah, I saw him loosening that mic stand before there.
I appreciate that shirt you're wearing there. Chuck's barbecue from Opalike, Alabama,
my hometown barbecue place I used to go to quite a bit. Still go sometimes.
They got that white sauce down in Alabama, don't they?
They don't. Well, I don't know. Maybe they do it, Chuck. I don't know. I don't know what kind of
sauce, Chuck. I always get chipped pork sandwich where it's already like kind of mixed up in the
pot. And then they scoop it out and put it on the thing. And now I get, you always get chipped pork sandwich where it's already like kind of mixed up in the pot.
And then they scoop it out and put it on the thing.
And now I get, you know, chipped chicken,
but I stopped eating pork, but it's a,
so I never see them put the sauce on it.
Yeah, man, I am all in on barbecue.
Barbecue.
I mean, I, I, I, I, I, my, most of my adult life,
I try to go to a barbecue place every city I go to, but I've been doubling down and going even more. I mean, most of my adult life,
I try to go to a barbecue place every city I go to,
but I've been doubling down and going even more.
Wow.
Twice in the same day, breakfast and lunch?
I've done twice in the same day,
but more lunch and dinner, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
But I hit three in Myrtle Beach last week,
and I gotta tell you, I struck out on two.
Oh, really?
Yeah, but the third one was a place called Brisket in Myrtle Beach last week and I got to tell you, I struck out on two. Oh really? Yeah, but the third one was a place called Brisket
in Myrtle Beach.
I don't think Myrtle Beach is known for cuisine.
It's, well, I mean, wait, talk about it.
They got a restaurant with a giant crab outside of it.
I don't know how.
Yeah, they have some really-
They have crab in there, by the way.
Yeah, they have some really filthy named restaurants.
Names I can't even, by the way. Yeah, they have some really filthy named restaurants.
Names I can't even say on the podcast.
I can't even say the name of the restaurant.
And it's like, this family's going in there.
Oh yeah, barbecue places tend to get a little,
like they kind of get a little naughty with the language.
And they just sort of get a little naughty.
Your buddy, Will O'Donnell,
is a comedian friend of mine in St. Louis.
We went to a place and we thought it'd be funny
if there was one guy that like didn't understand
that you were supposed to just get a little naughty
and just went over the top on it.
You're like, whoa, whoa, what are you doing here?
I thought that's what we did, you know?
Well, me and Will love to complain
about those sorts of things.
We go to places and it's just like constant innuendo the whole time.
And it's just teenagers working there and there's families in there.
And I'm like, tone it down.
Even at Hattie B's a place that I love, I love Hattie B's, but their hottest is
like, you know, me and Brian went there and it's like, you know, it's like, I
don't even want to say it, but it's just like a cuss word where they just changed
a couple of letters. So it's not a cuss word, but in the way you use it, it's like, I don't even want to say it, but it's just like a cuss word where they just changed a couple of letters.
So it's not a cuss word, but in the way you use it, it still is.
Let's say there's a cluck involved.
How about this?
The rocket city trash pandas recently rebranded temporarily to the Alabama white sauce.
Oh, wow.
Oh yeah.
Love that.
And the mascot is a little sauce bottle.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, man. Yeah, I mean.
Why not, huh?
Yeah.
Just lean into it.
I got the, you know, I went to.
I got what they were doing in Hay Bay.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's subtle.
Yeah.
It's subtle.
I went to, yeah, shut the blank up is what it is,
but it's clucking there.
Nope, that wasn't where I was going.
Yeah.
So, yeah. So, well, after he showed that and then you said, I got it. I thought, well,
let me clear it up.
Yeah, I was going a different direction.
Yeah. But, you know, but Chuck's doesn't do that. Chuck's is a good Christian organization
and they're very nice people and they just serve barbecue. They used to do buy one, get
one free
chip sandwiches on Saturday. Yeah, and the consumer products business,
I think I've told you guys I was involved in that.
We call that a BOGO.
Yes, yes, buy one, get one.
We know about BOGOs on this podcast.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Couple of us are BOGO comedians.
I know.
I'm the top BOGO comedian.
We joked about that for about five minutes one time on this podcast and then Nate laughed
the whole time and then about five minutes in he said, no, what is Bogo?
Yo-Gio.
And I will say the last thing about Chucks, I put Jim Bob's chicken fingers is owned by
the same family that owns Chucks.
I talked about Jim Bob's on my Netflix special,
and then I always wear a Chuck's barbecue shirt.
I never get any love from it.
Not that they owe me anything,
but I would think that they might shoot me.
You've been getting plenty of love.
I know.
I just would think that they would shoot me a message
and go, hey, thanks for all the free ads out here.
That's all I want.
I know, man.
You're a Cracker Barrel spokesperson.
I know.
You got stuff from Quick Trip.
Well, Cracker Barrel said thank you.
Quick Trip said thank you.
That's exactly right.
I think they saw you in that Chuck's Barbecue shirt
and they go, oh, he's wearing it ironically.
He's a hillbilly.
Yeah.
That's what happened.
You wanna get into-
But you know how people, for a little while,
I don't even know if hipster's really a term anymore,
but you know how hipster people would wear like cutoff jeans.
Yeah.
And it was like, you know, this kind of ironic thing,
but I do it and I look like the non-ironic version
of the guy wearing the cutoff jeans.
No one thinks this guy's a hipster.
They go, what's this guy doing in here?
Okay.
All right, so we got some Nate,
have you guys been places?
Yeah.
That's a good question.
This weekend, Saturday night,
well, weekend I was in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Saturday I did a show at a local Christian bookstore,
the owner, big fans of Nate Land.
Okay.
You guys wanna laugh or something? No, I did. Cause you both smiled a lot when land. Okay. You guys want to laugh or something?
No, I did.
Cause you both smiled a lot when I said it.
You just kept it going.
You got a local Christian bookstore.
Yeah.
It's a bookstore that did it at the end.
So ice cream parlor.
Well, they serve coffee.
You sell merch after?
I did not.
And you got a pick between a Bible and a Bates t-shirt? And then
went over to Good Nights. Our friend, Katharine Blindford, was there and she let me do a guest
set on her. The opposite of a Christian bookstore. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then last night I had my own
show at Good Nights. All right. Nice. A lot of folks came out, had a great time. How's, I've not
been to the new club. I did old Good N. How's, I not been to the new club.
I did old good nights, but I not been to the new club.
It was great.
You know, it's funny, this is my second time there.
The last time I did the small room, about 90 seater.
This time I did the main room.
Oh, okay.
And I'm you, man.
I'm driving, you know, from the airport in my car thinking,
man, I'm a big time now.
Yeah. Yeah.
And I passed the hockey arena where the Canes play
and I see a sign lit up outside and it says
Nate Bargatze here and it just helps pushing. He's about to do 19,000 or whatever in a few days.
But anyway, great time last night. Thanks for everybody came out, flew home this morning. I
can I tell you guys, I at the airport this morning, I kind of skipped out on my bill. What? And, um, I didn't mean to,
but yet I didn't fix it either. So what happened? You dined a dash? Yeah.
Well, kinda, uh, it was one of those where you scan the QR code,
which I kind of hate, but whatever, you know, nobody wants to serve you anymore.
So you do the thing, you place your order.
Then at the end, so I sit there, I have my food
and you know, it's time to go.
It's time for our plane to start boarding.
So I go in there to pay, there's some error.
It says, see your server.
It won't accept it.
There is no server, but I finally find a lady
that's coming through and I was like,
hey, it's saying this, whatever.
She's like, do me a favor, get out of it, scan it again and see if it worked this time. If not,
let me know and we'll bring you a receipt. I get out of a scan. It, it works.
Enter my information, hit pay. I thought it said, thank you or success or whatever. I'm like,
I'm good. Okay. And I walk out and then I'm walking to my gate
and I look at my phone and it's still spinning,
saying processing.
It's processing, processing, processing.
And I go back and there's nobody there.
Well, my plane's starting to board now.
It's Southwest.
It's not like they're gonna save me a seat.
So I made an executive decision to get on my plane.
I respect it.
I feel like you went above and beyond.
Way farther than most people.
Yeah, you tried to make it right.
I mean, going back to the restaurant from the gate,
that's a step further than I would have gone.
And this is a flaw of technology.
It's like, hey, don't get above your pay grade
with the technology.
Yeah.
No, I mean, you should get back on a flight tomorrow
and get over there and take care of that. Well, I'm glad you brought that up. Yeah, I would. Aren't get back on a flight tomorrow and get over there and take
care of that.
Well, I'm glad you brought that up because aren't you going to be in Raleigh next week?
Yeah. Yeah.
Can I give you 30 bucks?
I'll just pay it.
Stop by there?
Yeah.
No, I'll give you the money.
No, yeah, sure you will.
Drop it off.
Her name's Charlene.
Going to Raleigh to pay for your meal is going less far out of the way than I did when I
had to pick you up for lunch in Orlando.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is shorter trips.
I've been training for this.
Yeah, happy to do it.
You need me to swing by Southern California?
Do anything for you there too?
I know and I always offer to take him to lunch when he's in town.
He always is busy.
I got dusty on my podcast.
Free meal though, hey.
Yeah. Free meal.
Yeah, can I just give you the money
and you go eat by yourself with that?
No, I'm not like you man.
Like I'm fine, I'm gonna get some barbecue when I'm in town.
Okay, yeah.
All right, all right.
So anyway, I did that this morning.
I dined and dashed.
That was this morning?
Yeah.
Wow.
My show was last night and flew home today.
Yeah, airplanes are crazy, man.
I know you drive all your shows.
I fly. So that's what I did.
What about you, Greg?
I was in Myrtle Beach.
Oh, you should have hit some barbecue there.
Yeah, and brisket, outstanding place there.
It was a lot of fun.
I did go jet skiing in the ocean.
You guys ever done that?
Not in the ocean.
I love a lake jet ski.
You're hitting the waves.
Like you hit the waves every three seconds and it sounds like the jet ski is going to break.
It's pretty awesome.
Fun though. Are you a beach guy, Greg?
No, but I've been going to that club in Myrtle Beach, the Comedy Cabana for years.
It's a full week, like seven days.
And I usually take the feature act, jet skiing in the ocean.
And-
Will O'Donnell's done this, right?
O'Donnell did it with me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it is, man, it's crazy.
I recommend it.
You know, yeah, there's a great story
that you tell about Will and I think Sean. Sean, who you guys met, went jet skiing with me one year and freaked out.
Like just couldn't handle it.
You go on sort of the calm water for a good 20 minutes before you get out there and you're
going like 45 and it's fun.
Oh, so you get way out offshore.
Then you go, then you turn left and go into the ocean and your whole world changes and Sean wasn't
prepared for it and he just had a rough time with it and I didn't know that was going on and
Brendan Ayer who you know and my brother came back and Sean was like next to the guide, the 16
year old guide on the shore and all I was I Slightly smiled and he just started screaming and cursing at me. I almost drowned. I almost drowned
I go did you fall off? He goes no
And then and then like he was so freaked out at one point the guide, you know
The 16 year old was protecting him or whatever and then he Sean asked the guy goes
Hey when we go back to do we have to go the same way?
I'm like, what's the ocean, Sean?
I mean, we could go around South America,
but it's gonna take a while.
You know, like it's the ocean.
And so he freaked out.
And then he spent the next three days researching
on the internet how bad the weather was that day.
He's like, guys, that was probably one of the worst days.
We shouldn't have been out there.
We should not have been out there.
People are saying this is the worst it's ever been.
So he's freaked out.
So then like two years later, I take Will, okay?
And we go out and Sean knows I'm taking Will out
and he calls me, he couldn't have been happy.
He couldn't be, he goes, how did Will do?
How did Will do?
And he wanted me to say, I was worse than you, but he was scared.
You have every, every right to be scared like that.
I said, Sean, will was in the Marines.
I, I, I, I, I think he can handle a jet ski.
I think you can handle the most fun activity of all time.
He thought in his mind, the-Marine was just gonna get
freaked out by being on that jet ski.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I win in that, man, I recommend it.
It's a thrill.
What do you think is more fun, a jet ski or a four wheeler?
Well, I've never really been on a jet ski,
but I do love a four wheeler.
Yeah, I mean, they're basically the same.
It's the same kind of. I do love a four wheeler. Yeah, I mean, they're basically the same. It's the same kind of joy, I think.
What were you about to say?
Well, I was just gonna talk about the comedy cabana
that you went to.
You know, that's the first ever club I did way back,
probably 2010 or so.
My friend, Mike Fubu Clark, got me, he's died. And he got me into the club.
And I did about five minutes there and bombed real bad and have always been afraid of.
Really? I think you'd do real well.
I'd like to go. I'd like to do it now.
I think you'd figure it out.
Yeah. I think you owe it to Fubu.
I think so. Get back I think, yeah. Yeah. I think you owe it to Fubu. I think so.
Get back out there and conquer your fears.
He spelled it F-O-O-B-O-O.
Oh yeah.
And actually, you know, Fubu, I always really liked him,
but he went to jail for a while.
Did he wear a lot of Fubu?
I don't know.
I think I met him after maybe that time,
but he made a couple of rap songs,
and he had, they were comedy rap songs.
One was a mini turd song that he had,
is what he would call it.
He said, I thought I had to fart, it was a mini turd.
And that was his rap song.
And-
Jeez.
Is that right there with some of those barbecue restaurants?
Yeah.
And then he got out of prison and reached out to me.
When he would always try to get me on gigs like that and then.
When he went to prison and by the time he got out,
I was successful at comedy.
And he started reaching out in a long time.
Yeah, he was.
Life sentence.
Yeah, he was in a long time.
It's like those movies you think you like was like, just got out and just was everything
seemed different.
The culture seemed different.
And then he, you know, turned on, uh, turned on the radio and he heard a dusty sleigh plane.
What is going on?
He's dusty on it tonight.
She was like, I don't understand this world. I don't, I, that guy was
eating it at Comedy Cabana. And then, and then he died. So he was reaching out to me and I don't
know what happened, but I know he died. Now you were in Charleston for a while, right? Yeah. So,
because I love Myrtle Beach, but it's, it's got a sort of a trashy feel to some of it.
There's beautiful areas, but I noticed like the Charleston
people sort of turned their nose up at Myrtle Beach
a little bit.
Yeah, don't they?
Well, Charleston's so nice.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
When you live there, you really think that you're better.
Yeah.
And you think Charleston is better than every place.
And food, there's no place to get better food.
Yeah, there's no better.
There's no, there's just no better.
Nothing.
When I grew up in the shadow of the Ravenel Bridge.
It's that elite.
No better city in America.
I really can't imagine what it'd be like if you grew up there.
I lived there for 10 years and it was hard.
I mean, I was just like, everything, nothing felt better than Charleston.
Yeah.
Myrtle Beach and you guys kind of, you looked down on a little bit.
Yeah.
And then when I sold pesticides, my route took me to Myrtle Beach.
I had a bunch of Lowe's and Home Depot's in Myrtle Beach.
I used to go up there all the time and then I would drink and I would go to Broadway at
the beach and party I would drink and I would go to Broadway at the beach Yeah, already a little bit and I think I fit in fairly well
But it was you know, it's you know, it's pretty trash you drive you drive up and down the main drag in Myrtle Beach
You're gonna know you're on vacation. Oh
you know how they you ever heard somebody say like I I
this this
Island is completely untouched.
Well, Myrtle Beach, they touched it.
It's been touched.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, they touched it hard.
Now there's like the south part, like Murrell's Inlet.
Murrell's Inlet, yeah, yeah.
Surfside, very nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, very nice.
Myrtle Beach is where the heat is.
That's where it's all going on.
And I love it.
I like the 80,000 mini golf courses,
you know, the giant crab and the jet skis.
Vespa rentals and all that.
Yeah, man.
And North Myrtle feels a little more like family stuff.
Like there's the, almost like older people stuff.
There's theaters and, you know, different things.
Yeah. But still that's where the, you know, people stuff, there's theaters and different things.
But still that's where the foul mouth restaurants are at.
Yeah, there's some of that.
And that's where Vanna White's from,
it's North Merl.
Oh really?
Yeah, if you stay in a hotel.
She's talking stuff too.
Yeah, she is, yeah.
And if you stay in, well back then,
if you stay in a hotel in North Myrtle,
the TV would let you know that Vanna White was from there Oh, yeah. They really like to let you know that.
It's 2025. Who are you kidding? You don't have cash on you. Why would you? Nobody's using cash.

So, what about you?
Where were you at?
I was just doing spots in town, nothing exciting.
What about you, Dusty?
Well, I was off.
I just hung out.
I didn't even do comedy.
I've had most- You ever worry you lost it? Yeah, I was off. I just hung out. I didn't even do comedy. I had most-
You ever worry you lost it?
Yeah. You lost it.
I had been doing spots at Zany's here and there because-
It's been two weeks since we've had a show though.
I think you've not done anything since then?
I did, Monday I did.
Yeah, Monday I did New Material Monday and I hosted,
we just did the regular Nate Land Live.
We all did that.
It was three months ago though.
No.
You did a Dusty Show over in.
Two weeks ago, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, you know, I've been staying at it.
Okay.
But I am taking a break and then tomorrow, you know,
as of this coming out, I'll already be there.
But we're taping Monday.
Tomorrow I'm going to Gulf Shores, Alabama for the week.
Oh, nice.
I wish you'd really grind it out one of these days.
You know what I mean?
Just be a working man.
Yeah.
Just down there in that wet heat.
Yeah, that's right.
Going to the wet heat, that's right.
July 29th, don't forget.
That's big.
It's wet heat.
Huge.
Can I say one more thing about my night,
good nights, I forgot the image.
I'd love to hear it. Yeah, I
Finally retired all my dry bar special
Material. Oh, yeah, it's a great feeling right? It's well not really last night, but
But I did it I did it and it was hard because those are some of my best jokes
It's been two years. I think and just trying to get them out of there.
So last night was the first set I did, all new material.
And I usually do an hour, last night was 53 minutes.
It's okay, it's okay.
53 with nothing on dry bar.
53 is incredible.
I had one old joke off the top,
just because it kind of worked with where I was at.
How many times did you thank the troops?
That's, was that four, four or five minutes of that?
Well about 15 minutes was me doing impressions.
Did you do impressions?
Do you get into what the left side of the room thought
about the right side of the room?
I do that all the time.
Y'all are great.
Y'all gotta pick it up a little bit.
Teaching's hard. Teaching's hard. Give it up for the teacher. Makes noise of
your teacher out there. Yeah. You know what I love to do is
just you go, alright, I'm about to do a joke about going to
the store. Makes a noise if you've heard my joke about going
to the store. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Man, I would love to go.
Alright, I'm going to do it real quick. Yeah. That'd be they asked me to an impression of dusty which I did can you do one can you do a dusty impression?
All right
Was that that what you did last night? Yep, standing ovation. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. You can't tell the difference, can you?
You know the difference
He's a hipster rightneck, but I'm authentic.
Yeah.
You're the real deal.
Chuck's barbecue.
Yeah, you're not afraid to wear American flag.
No, I don't.
You're a Chuck's barbecue guy through and through.
You'd never sell out to a major, like a major store,
like Cracker Barrel or something like that.
No.
Cracker Barrel is a mom and pop turned big time.
Okay, they did it well. Like they used to joke about Walmart. Cracker Barrel is a mom and pop turned big time.
They did it well.
Like Nate's joke about Walmart.
And then it just took off.
Okay, we got some Nate Land news guys.
Oh.
Let's get serious.
Okay, is there a lot going on in Nate Land?
Nate Land, Mike Vecchione's special is doing great.
It is doing great.
Go check that out on our YouTube channel, Nate Land Entertainment. It's hilarious, man. Yeah, it's so good. It is doing great. Go check that out on a on on our YouTube channel,
Right? Land entertainment. It's hilarious. Yeah, it's so good. It's really, really Mike
Vecchione is really good. I've not watched it, but Mike Vecchione is very funny. I recommend
everyone watch it. Yeah. Last time you were here, I was telling your special so great.
Thanks. And I was kind of poking it air. I'm saying how great yours was. But then I saw
Vecchione's. I was like, now that's a great special.
Now that guy does comedy. Yeah. This time I'm serious.
See, these are the kind of comments that don't get picked up by people on the YouTube comments.
Shot that Brian just took at Greg and Aaron. Yeah. You think that, do you think that makes them feel good? No, it doesn't, makes- I didn't come here for this to be honest. Does that make Greg feel good, you think?
No.
Come on.
No, your special's great.
Ernie and I both talked about how you squeeze everything
out of every joke and it's kind of inspiring.
It is, it's really good.
I can show you some, well, if you guys come out this weekend
I'll show you some unsqueezed topics.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Untouched. I don't care that much.
I'll take your word on it.
All right.
Nate Land has a handful of great specials from Greg Warren, Aaron Webber, Nick Thune,
Steven Rogers, plus Nate Land Podcast Network.
Don't forget to catch The Consumers with Greg Warren every Tuesday.

Yeah.
Just so much content to enjoy.
Nate Land is producing Ryan Hamilton's next Netflix special filming at the Neptune Theater
in Seattle on October 4th. Get your tickets for that. Ryan Hamilton's great. Ryan Hamilton was
here one Monday when I was here, went over, hung out with him a bit. Such a nice guy. Ah, such a
great guy and really, really funny.
And I would imagine this special is based a lot
on the accident that he had, I think.
I don't know.
Yeah, he got hit by a bus.
I did know that.
Yeah, and I know he's doing,
he has really, really incredible material about it.
I think that's what this is.
Imagine getting hit by a bus and not being able to make jokes about it. That think that's what this is. Yep. Imagine getting hit by a bus
and not being able to make jokes about it.
That'd be tough.
Yeah.
Steven Bargotse is doing a show in Huntsville

oh, gosh, the drinks are so expensive.
They hear you.
So expensive.
They hear you.
They hear you.
And now they're lowering them.

Early shows are sold out,

I love it.
I love, honestly, coming to Nashville,

Yeah, yeah, can I do a guess it yeah?
See some of that unsqueezed material both nights. Oh
Sure, bitch
Can you pick him up and give him a ride? Yeah, man, that's what what's it?
I don't mind the guest set so much. I just know what's come. Yeah, what's it pay? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
I know there's other things coming here.
Yeah.
All right.

Last but not least, the great Dusty Slay has, I'm just reading this, has a Netflix special

That's crazy.
He added the great.

It's a 50 50 chance I might be there. I'll bet anything Bates is gonna sell merch
when he does the guest set on my show.
I'm gonna pitch it.
Yeah.
Yeah, you might have, I just pitched a couple things.
Sure, man.
You know, I think the breadwinner is wrapping this week.
Yeah, it is.
So.
You guys are in it, right?
Yeah, we are in it.
I listened to a lot of that episode, actually. Yeah, it was fun. you guys are in it, right? Yeah, we are. I listened to a lot of that episode.
Oh, thank you. Yeah, it was fun. We'll see if it makes a movie.
But yeah, we filmed something. That's so cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Anyway, we get these comments. Let's do it. Let's do it.
OK, comments come from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Apple podcast
reviews and Nate land at Nate Barghatsi dot com.
Nate Bargetzi.
Bargetzi.
Bargetzi.
I've been saying Bargotzi my whole life.
Most people do.
I switched over maybe three, four months ago.
To Bargetzi?
To Bargetzi.
Yeah, just cause you hear him say it enough.
My dad, he knows, he's met Nate,
and he knows Nate's helped me out quite a bit,
and he'll tell me every now and then,
I talk to my friends and I know he's a big deal, Greg,
but they don't even know who he is.
And I say, well, dad, it may be because you refer to him
as Nate Bargozzi, that might be why they don't know.
And that's probably the closest you've got to his name.
That is the beautiful thing about comedy.
You can be an absolute superstar in the comedy world,
but if people aren't into comedy, they have no idea.
They have no idea who you are.
I remember when I went on the road with Burt Kreischer,
I was so excited and I told my mom, I'm like,
and she said, you had no idea.
No idea.
But I mean, I'm assuming your dad's probably close
to my mom's age.
My mom's 80.
Yeah, my mom's 81.
And she, her friends aren't going to know.
They don't follow the comedy scene that close.
I mean, she knows Nate's a big deal, but I told her I was in his movie.
And she's like, you might be in a real big movie someday.
Who would be a celebrity that your parents would freak out about if you said,
Hey, I just met or I just worked with so and so.
For my mom, it'd probably be a country music singer.
Like a country music singer.
Yeah.
My dad, I mean, he's, Foxworthy is a big guy.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I mean, you know.
Have you worked with him before?
I've met him, yeah.
Couldn't be nicer.
One of the just nicest people you ever meet.
Normal dude. Funny guy, yeah, of the just nicest people he ever met. Just a normal dude.
Funny guy, yeah, yeah, just a gentleman.
Yeah.
Okay, this is from the Yak, I agree.
Mine would be Bobby Fischer.
For your dad?
Yeah, probably.
If I were like, I hung out with Bobby Fischer this weekend.
Chess player?
Yeah. Really?
He's still alive?
I think he might've died recently.
Yeah, I think he died last few years. Yeah, he went, I tell you what, the last few years were tough. That's a cool dad though,
man. Yeah, he's in the chess. Really? My dad went to New York, when he went to New York for the first
time, he found the guys that used to play chess with Bobby Fisher when he was a kid. Really? Yeah,
and they sit out there, you know, you pay them to play with them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he went out
and did all that. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Can he play?
He used to be really good.
He doesn't play as much anymore, but he used to be.
Wow.
He used to be, he wasn't a grand master,
but he was just short of that.
Wow.
So he played competitively in high school
and did a little bit in college.
Oh, that's cool, man.
Yeah, but none of the kids can play.
I'm terrible at it.
Really? Yeah, I don't have the patience for it. kids can play. I'm terrible at it. Really?
Yeah, I don't have the patience for it.
Neither do I.
I tried to play with comics for a while
and I got average, but then I just was like,
I can't put everything in there.
I like the idea of it more than actually doing it.
I think the thing for me, and I know how to play,
but I don't ever play, but I think chess with a time limit,
where you have like the little timer,
you don't have to rush it.
But I've played with people where they just sit there,
sit there, sit there.
And I'm like, we can play another game.
Let's move along though.
We need a little action.
I used to play in Starbucks in my hometown
against this homeless guy, Leo.
And he was very good.
And his thing was he would write down every move
from every game he's ever played in his notebook.
Like he has to write down every move.
That's kind of free time you have in your home.
Yeah, Leo.
A lot of pressing business.
Good chess player though.
Real good. Yeah.
Okay, let me tell you about our next sponsor, Viori.
I'd love it.
Viori is the new perspective on performance apparel.
It is perfect if you're sick and tired
of traditional old workout gear,
but mainly it is by far the most comfortable
and best looking thing I wear.
I wear, it is- Well, that is true. It is by far the most comfortable and best looking thing I wear. I wear, it is-
Well, that is true.
It is, yeah.
It is unreal how much I wear these Viori shorts.
I have so many Viori shorts.
You have them on right now.
Yeah.
I just wear these all the time.
Stand up to see them.
I wear, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Look at this.
These are really old.
I've been wearing these for a while.
These are my first pair that I ever got.
They don't look old though.
They don't look old though. They
don't. And I have so many pair. And I may wear a pair of URI
shorts all week, the same pair. And I'm not saying that's good.
But I'm saying I may do it. And I just I wear it outside, I go
to the store. I was in Target yesterday and a guy recognized
me and I took a picture. I was wearing a NASCAR shirt and camo crocs and Viori shorts.
And I got a picture.
It's out in the world now.
This guy, but I looked good from the waist down to the knee because I had Viori shorts
on right now.
I'm into the Sunday performance jogger and normally I don't like joggers.
It's part of their Sunday collection.
We're performing on Sundays. It's soft.
We're performing on Sundays.
Yeah, exactly, exactly.
It's soft, lightweight, with four-way performance stretch.
So it moves with you with no restrictions.
It's a fresh take on athleisure
and it will become a staple in your wardrobe.
It's everyone's favorite jogger from Viori.

Let's get into these comments.
Okay, this is from the Yakov Smirnoff episode.
Michelle Elizabeth, apologies to Greg Warren,
but Yakov Smirnoff is the best guest
you guys have had on the pod.
Wow, I am so impressed.
Please bring him back when Nate is there.
I'd love to see them riff with each other.
Yeah, I didn't know you were going to be on.
No, I think that you did.
I think you curate these comments.
You don't have a catchphrase, Greg.
That's your problem. Yeah.
You know what I mean? I'm working on it.
I'm working on it. Yeah.
Well, you know, Dusty's pointed this out before.
I think last time you were here,
we were saying Reno Collier was everyone's favorite
and Dusty pointed out, he's only been on one time.
You've been multiple appearances.
That's the thing.
It's easy to pop in and kill once, right?
Greg's popped in, I mean, 14, 15 times now.
He's done great every time.
That's the difference.
And I'm not competing with this is Yakov Smirnoff.
We're talking about, I don't think it really matters, but I was just trying to be.
And here's the thing.
Here's the thing that hurts the most because I would imagine officially
he's a Branson guy, right?
I mean, his show in Branson that's in Missouri.
So I am the second favorite guest of Nate land in my state, in my, in my home state.
Yeah, it's tough. Yeah, that's tough
I'm sure I think if Reno moves there we got problems. Yeah
I mean we really like Tim and Sean. Yeah. Well, you can have them
Okay, Justin Higgins
I got chills when dusty announced his special and gave the title wet heat.
Although it's entirely possible that the chills are just the onset of a heat stroke.
We're having a good time and look forward to a hot show.
Thank you, Justin.
It's funny that you put hot show in there.
Hot show is almost what I named the special.
Yeah.
Hot show.
Yeah, that's a good Dusty Slay special name.
I ended up going with Wet Heat though.
I like...
I'm warming up to Wet Heat though.
Wet Heat was the title I wanted from the beginning.
Yeah.
But I kind of walked it back a little bit with Hot Shell,
but I just feel like Wet Heat's the edge I need.
Does Netflix let you just name it whatever you want?
Well, they didn't give me any pushback.
I'm guessing I could come up with a name
that they wouldn't approve of.
Right.
I could pick us up.
You kind of did the barbecue restaurant approach.
Just make it sound dirty.
Yeah.
See, I don't even think it sounds dirty.
People, they like to make things sound dirty.
Oh yeah.
If it were, there's things I could call it
that would sound dirty, but.
Yeah.
But.
Oh, that guy at that barbecue restaurant is like,
I know what he's talking about.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, he ain't talking about no dry rod.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what, I'm going to sit down for this special.
That's a good name though.
How important.
Put the kids to bed.
How important do you think the name is for things?
Like, can you think of a great movie with a terrible name?
Shawshank Redemption?
Shawshank Redemption is a good example of a-
You think that's a bad name?
I think it's a bad name.
I think it doesn't grab people.
I think if it had a name, if it were called like Escape
from Shawshank or something like that, it would have done
a lot better in the box office.
Yeah, I think now, 30 years later, we know it's a great movie,
but when it first came out, I'm like, what is this?
Right.
Yeah. I don't know.
I don't know if the name matters as much anymore.
You know, Return of the Jedi
was originally Revenge of the Jedi.
Oh yeah. They even had trailers for it.
Oh. And then some focus group or something said,
Return of the Jedi.
Revenge sounds too dark or something.
I think the name does, I think it does,
I think now, especially you wanna grab people.
And that's why I like Wet Heat,
because I feel like it's a name that's like,
is like, what?
That makes you wanna kinda go watch.
But it's also gonna have your name, a description,
and then it's gonna be playing a video of you talking.
Yeah, that's true.
So it'll be the whole thing.
I think the name's great. I was
just, I was just curious. Nate named the salesman and I, it's a
great name. And I was going to call it something stupid. And
he, and Nate didn't, he only had like three things that he,
what was, what was the name of your peanut butter boy or
something like that.
Butter boy is great. But our boy is a good name.
Peanut Butter Boy is great though. Peanut Butter Boy is a good name.
It was. I was going to call it that.
Nate with the cape on.
Yeah. Nate didn't really.
Nate didn't wait. He waited in like three things on that special and he waited hard.
He's like, no.
Peanut Butter Boy is a good name. I'm not going to lie to you.
I think it's fun. I think it's fun.
I could just see you eating peanut butter
with just your hand.
Nick Alexander.
Sorry, I didn't go anywhere with that.
It was fun.
Yes, I know.
It was the end.
No samples may be the worst take of anything
on this podcast.
So disappointed in Aaron,
who is supposed to be the logical one.
Geez.
I got to disagree with Nick here.
I know I said, I think two sample limit.
You thought about it.
No, I still say two sample limit.
Come on, ice cream.
But I got to disagree that that's the worst take.
Oh, okay.
It's not a bad take to not want to give away free samples.
At an ice cream place when people are just going through, oh, can I try the cookies and
cream? I never tasted that before. Yeah. Can I try the... Oh, yeah, just at an ice cream place when people are just going through, oh, can I try the cookies and cream?
I never tasted that before.
Can I try the-
Oh yeah, just get an ice cream.
Just get an ice cream.
It's the idea of samples in general.
No other restaurant works that way.
Why ice cream?
Do you get to try a little bit before you get it?
Yeah, I will say, man, we just recorded an episode
on Trader Joe's for the consumers.
man, we just recorded an episode on Trader Joe's for the consumers.
Aside from, I think, raw meat and alcohol,
anything you want in there, you can go,
hey, I wanna try these peanut butter pretzels.
Really? Yeah.
I think Trader Joe's may change that policy
after we put that on the true podcast.
I don't know if they want people to know that.
No, I mean, I found it.
You can go in and eat a full meal.
They're just walking around the aisles.
Yeah, yeah.
But that's what Costco's doing.
Costco's giving out samples.
Costco, but there's like maybe six little people out there
with free samples.
I'm with you on the ice cream.
But you can go to a restaurant, any other restaurant,
yo, let me try that, try that, that'd be insane.
But for ice cream, it's like, I don't know.
See, I agree.
I think you gotta pay first,
and then you can get two samples.
You can try, but we gotta know you're gonna buy something.
I see what you're saying.
But you think there's somebody going in there
and being like, that and then leaving?
I bet.
That's a real dirt bag.
I think people do that.
But it also just clogs up the line.
Yeah!
Clogs up the line, takes a lot of time.
It is so frustrating. I'd say the line. Yeah. Cogs up the line, takes a lot of time. It is so frustrating.
I'd say in season.
Yeah.
You go from, from, from, from June,
from Memorial Day to Labor Day, no samples.
No samples.
Cause there's, you're going to clog the line up, okay?
I like that.
Yeah, when I'm in an ice cream place
and I know what I want, I can see it right there.
Yet the person working there is just smiling,
giving these people in front of me just endless
samples. I'm like, hey, I'm a paying customer and I know what
I want. Yeah. One more free sample. I may walk out. Yeah. I
just thought part of the part of the experience of ordering
food anywhere at a at a place is like you just you're rolling
the dice. Yeah, man. It might not be good.
It might be good, but either way, I'm just going to eat it or just try it.
You make a really good I'd tell you what a couple not brisket, but a couple of
those barbecue places that I did go to.
I'd have liked to the brisket didn't look good.
And I went with it.
I would have liked to, Hey, let me try that brisket and, and, and save myself.
But that's part of the game.
It's part of the game, man.
It's part of it.
How many times in your life have you gotten ice cream
and then been like, this is so gross, I can't eat it?
Never.
I'm gonna say never for me too.
I did get custard from a place one time.
Andes or something like that, frozen custard.
Yeah, and I ate some of it.
You don't like frozen custard?
I don't know.
I don't know if it was custard.
It's a spot on the way to McMinnville,
on the way to Watertown, from the interstate to Watertown.
There's a spot on the side of the road.
And I don't want to slam that.
It's just a guy on the back of his truck.
It's a business.
It's a real restaurant, yeah.
And I don't want to slam them because it may be delicious,
but I got it.
And I was just like, it was just so thick.
And I had a little bit of it and I threw it out.
But again, that's the game.
Exactly.
I tried it, I didn't like it, I don't go back.
Yeah, and you learned.
And won't they like pour you some wine,
let you sip a little wine before?
Yeah, that's the deal.
You pour a little bit and I think somebody tastes it
and then they go, okay, yeah, we'll take it.
Yeah, you're right.
But at that point, you've already agreed to purchase wine.
Yeah.
And I think that's probably a small percentage
of people that go, I don't like it, get it out of here.
Yeah.
Well, I think that's the same with ice cream.
Most people sipping it have no idea if anything about wine.
I mean, when I worked at a restaurant,
I didn't know anything about wine.
No, yeah, absolutely.
People ordering it didn't know anything about it.
And they're just like, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Don't smell it, just drink the wine.
Okay.
So Nick, we didn't care for your comment.
I'm one of the worst comments of any comment ever on the podcast. I'm with you, Nick.
Yeah, here we go.
One of the worst comments ever.
Mo Afram, you preach the good word to Butkus and Dusty, brother Aaron.
I too dislike the sampling at the ice cream shop.
All right.
Just comes off with an air of entitlement
with a total lack of consideration
of the people behind them having to wait on them
to find that perfect flavor.
Know what you want before you get to the server
or get out of line.
There you go.
I agree with that.
Don't even get me started on the,
can I try X flavor one more time, psycho. Going back for a second sample is crazy.
Hold on let me try that vanilla again I don't remember what that tastes like. Yeah it's like
yeah dude. Yeah you do. The thing about it is when we get these comments is that one comment is coming
from a person that goes in and gets the samples and another is coming from a person that knows
that's right it's like when you're waiting in, it's a fast food restaurant and there's a line
and then there's a giant menu on the thing.
People stand in line this whole time
and then get to the register and don't know what they want.
It's like, what were you doing in line?
Why were you not looking up at that board up there?
Come on, come on, be ready.
If there's a line and you're not ready, get out of line. Look alive, look alive, come on. Come on. Be ready. Yeah, if there's a line and you're not ready get out alive. Look alive. Yeah
Yeah
All right, Hannah Shipley
Would each of you please doughnuts? Maybe maybe down there in Texas is that there's a ship please here?
And is there really a good?
That's a good doughnut, isn't it? Mm-hmm sort of a Krispy Kreme model. Ah
It's more of a cake doughnut. Oh, is it okay? So it's more of a I don'treme model? It's more of a cake donut, right? Oh, is it?
I think so.
It's more of a, I don't really know.
It's good though.
I don't ask questions.
I'll give you free samples.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Would each of you like it if your fans came up to you
in public and asked for a picture?
The day after seeing Greg Warren,
I saw him in his car eating a subway sandwich outside
the restaurant.
Well, I didn't know you were going to be here.
I had no idea you were coming.
You're stacking the deck, man.
Hannah's got a decent question.
What is this, man?
I mean, here's this is not I guarantee I was eating outside a restaurant.
I guarantee it.
I do that in my car.
And it was probably a bad moment.
OK, it was probably but it wasn't Subway.
Is you don't need someone.
I don't like it's not.
I don't need some sandwiches.
It wasn't. It might have been a meatball from somewhere else, but it wasn't Subway.
I've I've I've the saddest moments of my life.
If I'm judged by what I was doing in a car with food, it's it's it's terrible.
Well, she said, oh, you know, she's not lying.
No, she's not lying.
I decided it was probably not an appropriate time.
Probably not.
She says, was this the right call?
Yeah.
Oh, wait for him to stop crying.
I wouldn't have been mean, but I would, it would have been sad.
You would not have been a Greg Warren fan.
Yeah.
You'd just be like, Oh my God.
He goes, can I get a picture?
He goes, yeah.
Gets out of the car, dusts off.
Dusts, shovels.
gets out of the car, dusts off dust shovels.
Yeah. I mean, I guarantee there's food all over my face.
Yeah, I was crying.
Yeah.
I remember one time
this happened because I've had some battles with food and
it was like one night I just after show or something, maybe
didn't go well. And I just went and got a bunch of cookies and I ate them. I ate about
half the box on the way home. And then the next morning I was like, I'm turning over
newly from going to the gym. And I got back in the car and those cookies were just sitting
there. I was like, no, no, that's not me. I'm going to do it. And I, and I did, I just
got to the gym and I just didn't wanna go.
I didn't wanna go to the gym.
And I remember somebody telling me something like,
hey, if you don't wanna go to the gym,
you just go upstairs, go into the gym,
sit down, start working out.
If you don't wanna go, then you can leave, okay?
Chances are, 99% of the time,
soon as you start working out, you'll be like,
well, I'd do it for a while,
and you'll get something out of it.
Well, I went into the gym. I got into my workout clothes.
I went up to the exercise bike.
I got on the bike and I said, nope.
And I went back downstairs and I sat in the car and I finished that whole thing
of cookies and there were people walking by looking at me in the car,
shoving or double stuff Oreo. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In my face.
Yeah.
Crying probably or yeah.
So yeah, please talk to me when I'm in public
but that might not be the best idea.
I can a good call.
Good call.
You know, one night I pulled up to Zanies
and I had this bag of popcorn and I was just eating
and I got to the bottom and I was really trying
to get it out of the bottom and and then I turned it up.
Oh, yeah.
Knock my hat off.
Fell in the backseat.
And I'm just getting every little piece of popcorn out.
And then I look over and in the car next to me is Chelsea Lynn and Libby Higgins.
Oh, yeah.
And they're just looking right at me.
And I was like, oh, man, you guys are seeing this whole thing.
They're doing the same thing. They support.
They would totally support that. Yeah.
That was a kettle corn.
Yeah, it wasn't a tub.
Yeah. Yeah.
Was it a kettle corn or was it a regular popcorn?
I try to go regular popcorn with just some sea salt.
OK, yeah. Himalayan sea salt.
Oh yeah.
The cattle corn though, you can get through that pretty quick because it's just, there's
just a little less sugar than you would want to be on it.
Each bite is a little less than you want to keep trying to get to the treasure.
You never quite, it's not there.
Every now and then you'll get a good one.
I mean not a great one, but every now and then you'll be
like, well, yeah, this is what I've been searching for.
Where a little bit more sugar gets calcified on it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there it is.
Yeah, I'll keep going.
And then you've eaten a whole bag of popcorn.
It's like a La Croix.
It's the same feeling of just, it's never satisfying.
Yeah.
But it'll get you going back.
What about like Cracker Jacks?
You remember those?
Yeah, you get a little toy in it, a little sticker in it.
You eat those and every once in a while,
there'd be a little peanut in there.
They'd get a lot of, I love the peanut.
I just liked the popcorn in that.
Oh, okay.
The thing is, and I don't, for something,
I love caramel corn, but I'm not sure I like Cracker Jacks.
I've not had Cracker Jacks in a long time.
I just, you know.
And there was the, there's a couple other fiddle faddle.
The tub, you ever get the tub with the caramel on one side and then oh, yeah
Oh, yeah butter. Yeah
Speaking of his last comment, so I got a black stone
Grill, I just got the most top. Yeah flat top grill
It's the most excited I've been about something that I have at my house for a while
I got I got it all going I'm cooking on it's great, right? He has a newborn daughter
At his house.
That is true.
Yeah, that's true.
But I got it all set up and I realized
that it didn't include the grease trap on the back.
When it got delivered from my house,
from Lowe's, to my house from Lowe's,
they didn't put the grease trap in it. So I gotta go house from Lowe's to my house from Lowe's, they didn't put the grease strap in it.
So I got to go back to Lowe's.
And so I had to like find a guy and explain to him, hey, I ordered from Lowe's.
You guys forgot they don't sell it individually.
So I'd have to like steal it off a floor model.
So I'm having this complicated conversation with the guy.
Anyway, a guy comes around the corner and goes, are you Aaron Weber?
I heard you talking from across the lows.
And he said, I just saw dusty sleigh in here last week, buying rope.
You go to that Lowe's in Mount Juliet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You buying rope?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't buy in rope, but yeah, I'm sure he did.
I almost called him check them.
Yeah. I mean, it depends on the week. Yeah. I mean, I get sad, but I,
yes, yes. Yeah, dude. That's Shawshank. Oh no. Dusty.
Dusty come in after a rope six feet long.
Jeez. Hey, what, why'd you do that?
You would play that role too. That guy that's supposed to know.
You're right. I usually say I'm Brooks. No, you would be that guy.
How's I supposed to know? Yeah. And accurately, it would more likely Dusty's just prepare for
his escape from society. That's true. That's true. But yeah, Hannah, come say hi to any of us anytime.
Yeah. Yeah. Knock on the window if I'm eating. Did he help you with your problem?
They ended up getting, yeah, they ended up the guy, the guy worked, Mike at Lowe's, he hooked me up,
dude. He goes, don't tell anybody I just stole this off a floor. He gave it to me.
Nice. Don't tell anybody.
Obviously you think it's nice. You're stealing stuff from restaurants.
Obviously you think it's nice, you're stealing stuff from restaurants.
Again, it's the walkout king over here.
Dine and dash, Bates. Oh, fingers Bates.
It did feel good.
Okay, this is from the best of Nateland episode comments.
Nicky Whitley.
from the best of Nate Land episode comments. Nikki Whitley.
There's nothing better than Dusty
not being able to stop laughing.
The best one was over the way
Worried Burger pronounces poem.
Worried Burger.
I've listened from the very beginning
and what a great five years it's been.
Cheers to the next five and beyond.
All right.
Thank you, Nick.
Nicky.
Nicky Whitley.
Relative of Keith Whitley, potentially.
You don't see, you don't hear a lot of Whitleys.
No.
That was the girl on a different world.
I think that was Whitley, wasn't it?
It was Whitley.
Maybe you're right.
It was Whitley Cummings.
Yeah.
There's Eli Whitley. Eli Whitley.mings. Yeah. There's Eli Whitley.
Eli Whitley.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Ron Chris, one name.
Ron Chris.
Ron Chris.
Aaron's excitement over Brian's pregnancy announcement
always makes me smile.
Great to see.
Oh, that was nice.
That was a special moment.
Yeah.
Broke the news on Nightwim.
Yeah.
That was fun.
How about that?
How old's your kid now?
Three and a half. Three and a half.
That was that long, huh?
Yeah, so it was over four years ago when he made the announcement.
Geez, Tom Flies.
And then-
Ron Chris.
Nate got up and I thought he was going to give me a hug
and he went and got a Sour Patch Kid.
I love that. Yeah.
Monica Killhoffer. Killhoffer. Killifer.
That Brian baseball story about stealing second and running back may be the funnest funniest sports story
I've ever heard. I was crying. Well, thank you, Monica.
That is a I'm not saying it's not a funny story, but Nate's what made that clear. Yeah to this day
I don't think I've ever seen Nate laugh that hard. I mean he's crying laughing. I mean he
He could have been he could have been in mood and shut that story down and nobody would have ever remembered it
Yeah, he lost it on that and that was only like our fifth episode. We were very early in. So yeah, people always remember that.
I'd love to, I want to get that story animated by somebody. Oh yeah. Just with the audio
of you telling that to Nate. Yeah. Cause that it's just such a funny story. That'd be great.

Yeah, that was very nice.
That was a 340 at my biggest.
Some of those early.
Yeah.
Wow.
340.
Some of them are tough to look at.
There is real sadness in my eyes, too.
It's not sadness, but it's like the part under my eyes. I don't think that's where he's going.
All right, we'll move on. Now there are some stand-up clips of you back in the day, you know,
because you had a whole different look.
I mean, obviously we've all changed, except for Brian,
but Brian's looked the same forever.
But-
Shwist hair.
Yeah, we've all gone through a bit of a transformation.
Right, right.
But you were wearing the khakis and the bigger button-up shirts,
and you had short hair and no beard.
Oh, or long hair and no beard.
Yeah, I had a lot of tough looks.
Yeah, I'm not even seeing anything bad about those looks,
but it's a different look.
It's evolved.
I've never thought of you as big.
Now I see some of those old videos and I'm like, oh wow.
But in the time I wasn't.
I'd never think of that.
Well thanks.
Yeah, I only make the joke because it's already been made.
So that's out there.
That's how everything's presented.
But yeah, I don't think of, no.
People go list off some fat people that you know.
I don't put you in the category.
What a wild conversation.
Who is saying that?
Top 10 dumbest people you know, top 10 fattest.
Get into it.
I feel like I already have that typed out
on my phone somewhere. I'll find it. I feel like I already have that typed out on my phone somewhere.
I'll find it.
I got a top five.
I got a list for it.
List off some fat people that you know.
Your favorites.
Can I just put my order in first, ma'am?
I want a tall emperor's cloud tea, but I guess I'll start out with Aaron Webber.
Okay.
Eric Smith.
I always tell people they should listen to episode 99 with Greg Warren.
That's the one that got me hooked.
That was right before I joined.
That's right. Things were good.
I remember that. That was great.
There was a heaviness that came over the block.
Yeah. The dark cloud moved in after that.
That was a very fun episode.
This is like best of Nate Lang commenters too. I'm recognizing all these names.
I definitely recognize Jessie Rothman. Cat Rockwell cat we know her all right cat
Rockwell can't wait for the Nate land 10 year anniversary do y'all think the pod
will last that long and just change cast members along the way like SNL or soap operas? I think I'll be the Keenan
Thompson of the group. Who does that make the rest of us? I don't know.
Nate Teddy Murphy, he'll be gone. Yeah, Nate's Chevy Chase, one season, he's out.
No, I don't know. Dusty, you'll be retired. Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, it depends on who watches this Netflix special.
And now, I mean, now this is great.
I have a fun time and this is fun, you know?
So I don't mean that be dusty choice.
Well, that could be true.
Listen, you guys got to keep this going.
Well, I got nowhere else to go.
As long as the network's still around, you'll be okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll be all right.
I got nowhere else to go.
We'll be all right.
Yeah.
And Justine Richardson,
I'm kind of wishing you guys could revisit
some previous topics, but this time with Dusty,
labeling them 2.0s.
I agree, Justine.
I think you all nailed it, but it would be so interesting to see how different the conversations
would be this time around with him adding his out of nowhere commentary.
You lost me, Justine, but- Out of nowhere?
Yeah.
Out of left field?
Yeah.
Justine, this is your big day because today we're doing Inventions 2.0.
Oh, yeah?
Oh. That's cool. We did it about four years ago.
We did inventions. I remember. Yeah. I don't think I saw that one. I think there were two
moments that made the best of. Okay. What were they? I think when you talk about your iPhone gasp.
Oh yeah. Yeah. Your iPhone what? I gasped when we saw the iPhone for the first time.
When Steve Jobs scrolled on it, I gasped.
Oh.
And Nate made fun of him.
You didn't gasp?
I don't, I don't know.
When was the last time you gasped?
What would you mean?
What's a gasp?
Oh.
I don't know.
I don't know.
When was the last time you were amazed by an invention, like something really
blew your mind when it came out.
Had a shipless like, say Greg Warren.
Yeah, she did.
She didn't knock on that window.
You'd have seen a gas.
Someone's watching this.
I don't know that really has.
Yeah. I mean, thinking like what has made me gasp like even even a metaphorical gasp like you're amazed by something and kind of
taken aback by it we tried that cookie butter today on the consumers that's
true and that was that's pretty amazing it's pretty amazing and this is from
somebody who's predisposed to not like another kind of butter.
Oh, that's right.
You know?
Peanut butter boy.
Yeah, it was-
The butter boy.
The cookie butter from Trader Joe's.
I mean, that was, I remember,
I don't know if you'd call it an invention,
but I remember the first time I had sweet potato fries.
Oh, yeah, that was a real, that was an innovation.
Yeah, it was.
It was, 90s maybe?
Yeah, sort of coming around.
I'm sure they were around before that,
but they weren't in restaurants until the 90s. Yeah, it was. It was 90s maybe. Yeah, it started coming around. I'm sure they were around before that, but they weren't in restaurants until the 90s, broad scale.
Did the server pitch that to you
or did you just see it on the menu?
Man, I don't know where that came from,
but I was like, this is unbelievable.
You know, in about 2008, I think it was, maybe, no, 2010,
I went to New York City for the first time. I went to Cat's Deli. In about 2008, I think it was, maybe 2010,
I went to New York City for the first time. I went to Cat's Deli.
I asked for a brisket sandwich and the guy goes,
man, you gotta try the pastrami.
And I had never had pastrami before at that time.
And he gave me a piece of a sample to try.
Wait, wait, wait a minute.
Yeah, I know. And I, wait, wait a minute.
Yeah, I know.
And I was like, whoa.
Yeah.
It sent me on a journey.
And I've been, I love pastrami.
Yeah.
And it really took me back.
I don't think it's been 15 years since I've been amazed,
but that's a time I can go, whoa.
Yeah.
And that time we had that sandwich in Richmond, Virginia.
I remember. That I searched for and it doesn't even exist anymore. That had me go, whoa. And that time we had that sandwich in Richmond, Virginia that I searched for and it doesn't even exist anymore.
That had me go, whoa.
You talked about it all weekend.
Yeah, it's gone.
The sandwich is gone.
What about outside of food?
Are all our favorite inventions just food related?
Well, I was gonna say, have any of you Crystal Pepsi?
have any of you... Crystal Pepsi.
Have any of you ever come up with an idea for an invention?
Thought about pursuing it or wish somebody else would?
You know those, you know, you just go to Cheesy Egg Factory and you get like a pager.
But you can only go like, you know, about 100 feet away from it.
I'm going to do one five mile radius.
Oh, yeah.
Go where we want.
It seems problematic.
Just a buzzer with a bigger range on it.
With a button you can go, hey, I stepped a little far out, but I'll be back soon.
Oh, man.
Hold the table.
I think it's ready for Shark Tank.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Five mile. Hold the table. I think it's ready for shark tank. Yeah.
Five mile.
I'm saying, I'm saying five mile radius.
It's like, uh, go wherever you want.
It's kind of like, and there's something about Mary when the
guy had the seven minute abs.
Or eight is it, or seven and then whatever it was, he had it.
It took a minute off of it.
Is that Harlan Williams?
Yeah, it was Harlan Williams.
Yeah, it's Harlan Williams.
Yeah.
Dusty, you had any inventions?
I don't think so.
When I was a kid, I would order these inventor packs.
You could order them, like if you had an idea,
you could send it to them.
And I always wanted to invent something.
I had the thing ready to go.
And I think I did have an invention as a kid,
but nothing as an adult.
Do you have an idea for a show about inventions?
Yeah, I wanted to do a show called Blue Collar Genius
is what the name that we came up with.
Where you go around and you find these inventions
that people have just made, you know,
that they just use in everyday life,
but you know, it's not mass produced.
Like you propping up that thing with the cell phone.
Exactly, exactly.
Or you see these kind of memes on the internet,
but someone took a toilet, right?
And the back of the toilet,
they filled with ice and put beer in it.
And then the bowl, they had charcoal going in it
and had a little grill over the top.
Have you seen that clip going around with those guys
with a smoker that's a file cabinet?
Yeah, filing cabinet.
That's that, man, those guys.
Those guys are awesome.
Unbelievable.
That would be good for your show, right?
Yeah, it would.
Yeah.
Did you go to prisons and stuff too, maybe?
They do a lot of that kind of stuff in prisons.
I'd be in that, yeah.
Yeah, they can figure out how to do everything.
These guys are innovative.
Yeah.
Yeah, I watched prison cooking TikToks, like people that, they make meals out of the stuff.
Oh man.
Oh, they're geniuses though.
What are they making meals out of?
Oh, just the stuff that they can get at commissary at the prison.
So like a lot of ramen noodle stuff.
Yeah.
And then they, the stuff that they do with the seasoning is, I mean, it's out of this world.
It's unbelievable.
They have phones to film it?
Yeah. Some, yes. Or a lot of them will do it. They got out and they go, I'll show you what we did this world. Unbelievable. They have phones to film it? Yeah. Some, yes.
Or a lot of them will do it.
They got out and they go, I'll show you.
Okay.
I see.
Uh, but somehow they do get phones in prison.
There are videos of them in prison doing it.
Hmm.
We make wine in the toilet a lot of times.
Yeah.
It sounds pretty disgusting.
Yeah.
It's not ideal.
Yeah.
You know, you wouldn't want a free sample.
Yeah.
Uh, I Googled people's ideas of something they wish
would be invented someday.
So what you think about some of these,
a washing machine that irons and folds your clothes.
Oh man, that's not gonna happen.
My old company, I mean Procter and Gamble is,
that's tied man, that's the big dog over there.
They would be in, well I guess you'd still need detergent.
You're saying big detergent would prevent that invention? I think I got it that wrong, that's the big dog over there. They would be in, well, I guess you'd still need detergent. You're saying big detergent would prevent that invention?
I think I got it that wrong.
You're right.
Yeah.
I just not thinking straight.
Yeah.
The weird, anytime you start talking about laundry and changing the system,
I get a little defensive.
Yeah.
The weird things where people are like, I wish somebody would invent this.
It's like, yeah, I wish somebody would invent a teleporter that I could just,
from where I'm sitting, could just teleport into the city
I'm about to do comedy, right? You know, you just need the money some guy
Yeah, but I mean, all right, maybe that's a little too far-fetched for you
These are some stuff that doesn't seem so crazy. Okay, like that, but maybe that's a little bit out there
Anti-fogging eyeglasses.
Yeah, I could have used that today.
Me too.
Man, what a giant step back from the last.
The washing machine?
Yeah.
Or the teleporter.
Yeah, from a teleporter too.
Anti-fogging, they don't have that?
It'd be great if a guy got teleported
and his glasses were still foggy.
He's like, man, they just.
It's the dark ages.
You know the movie, The Fly though, he invented a teleporter.
Oh, he did?
Jeff Goldblum?
Yeah, what was happening is it would break down the molecules
and then transport you to the other
and then put it back together.
But there, a fly got into the teleporter machine.
So when it broke down all the molecules
and sent it to the,
it just put it back together with the fly, put the fly in him.
So he started to turn into the fly.
So this is another, this is a, not a great name for the movie, in my opinion,
the fly should be a teleporter or something that should be.
No, but I mean, most of the movies are him being a fly.
I think so. Yeah.
Slowly turning into a fly and it think so, yeah. About him slowly turning into a fly. Okay.
And it becoming just a horrific scene for him.
What about this tagline, be afraid, be very afraid?
It doesn't tell you much, does it?
No, it tells you.
It's not a comedy.
It gets scary, yeah.
They were the first one to use that?
Be afraid, be very afraid.
I mean, I don't know.
I feel like I've heard that in every horror movie.
Yeah.
Maybe since then though.
Yeah.
Maybe.
1986.
Or what was this?
A dream recorder.
Record your dreams so you can remember them later.
I would never want that.
No, why not?
If I don't remember it when I wake up,
I don't want to watch some highlight reel
of what I was thinking.
I think it'd be fun.
Playback my night. I don't want any permanent record highlight reel of what I was thinking. I think it'd be fun. Playback my night.
I don't want any permanent record of what goes on in my head because I think there's some horrible things.
Yeah. Yeah. If I'm ever held accountable for what I think, I'm going away.
It's just Greg eating Subway sandwiches and different rental cars across America.
Fans lined up to take a pic and he just in there shoving sandwiches in.
But have you ever had an idea for a joke and then later you're like,
I can't remember it.
Yep.
Yeah, I have a recurring dream that I had this 10 minutes
that was the greatest thing ever, but I forgot it.
But I don't think I had it ever, you know?
I had a dream that I woke up and wrote down
and I tried to do it as a joke.
I ended up keeping a little piece of it,
but it was a much longer joke that eventually was like,
oh yeah, I'm just telling you this dream that I had.
Yeah.
Yeah, they felt good at the time, don't they?
Yeah, never work out.
Never that good.
A real time universal language translator.
So if you're talking to someone
who speaks another language, there's no delay.
I think we basically have that.
If you see Google Translate and some of these other apps,
they're unbelievable, dude.
And you can actually use the camera with AR
and it'll translate in real time,
like you hold it up to a poster or a menu and stuff.
It's unbelievable.
And I think sometimes when people are speaking,
languages are different, right?
So it's like they might, the sentence structure is different.
So real time, it might not make sense.
You have to wait for the sentence.
Yeah. Yeah.
I like that Bates felt he had to explain that to us.
Because real time, real time universal language training.
So no delay.
Well, I was doing that because I knew Aaron was going to make the point that
there are already one, but it's kind of slight delay.
Don't you think in the future they'll just be like one language?
I think we'll look back years like it's crazy.
People, world leaders couldn't understand each other.
Yeah. Yeah.
I think of it. It'll probably be English or relief pitchers. Yeah.
All right. Yeah. Relief pitchers were back in the day.
Well, I don't know how many how many of the leading save leader get nowadays.
Oh, per season. I have no idea.
You know, I kind of came up with the first.
Yeah, Bruce Souter.
Dan Quisenberry.
Yeah, Quisenberry.
That guy from San Diego is Trevor Hoffman.
Trevor Hoffman, yeah.
He's like the all time, isn't he?
He's all-famer.
Yeah. Yeah.
A smart watch that can detect diseases.
No. No.
Nah, I don't wanna.
No.
You don't wanna know if you're sick.
I don't trust the why I watch though, you know, because it's going to mess up.
And then they just tell you, you got a disease and then they go, Oh, you better get down
to the hospital or we'll put you in jail.
And I don't, uh, I don't need that.
How many times you think that, uh, that you would check it?
Uh, anytime you felt a little ache in your body. That's all I
do. I'd be like, yeah, I don't have disease. Just sit and
watch it in real time. Yeah. Oh, got cancer. Yeah. I've never
had a smart watch, but doesn't it tell you like certain health
things about you now? Yeah, it'll keep track of your, you
know, how many calories you burn, how long you've been
standing, you know, your steps, your steps, you long you've been standing, you know. Your steps.
Your steps.
Do you know that?
All that kind of stuff.
I just learned that.
I've been doing it manually.
Oh, really?
How about this one, Aaron?
Yeah.
A printer that works when you need it to.
Oh, yeah.
I'd love to see that.
They've yet to invent one.
It's amazing that like Apple hasn't invented a printer.
You think they've just, they've got everything else down
where it's just so seamless.
The technology's great.
You could just airdrop to the printer.
Or just something.
Just airdrop to the printer would be amazing.
They got, they don't wanna dip their toe
in the printer market.
Cause it's just too volatile.
I think it's just such a, like a flimsy,
it's such a, so many moving pieces and stuff.
I think it's just like, I don't know.
I'm just, just try not to print as much as you can.
But if you want something printed, it's a nightmare too.
And then that was my job in college.
I would unjam printers for people.
Really?
I had a little golf cart and then they'd be like,
oh, the printer in Keenan Hall got jammed.
And I'd have to ride over there and unjam it.
No training, nothing.
I just, they just go open it up and just try to find it.
I got pretty good at it.
Sometimes it's really hard to find it.
Every now and then you get a phantom jam.
That's what we call that where you had to take
the whole thing apart to get a phantom jam.
I never knew that about you.
Yeah, that's pretty cool, man.
Hey dude, I got a lot of layers, dude.
Yeah.
I think we did an episode called odd jobs and you didn't mention that.
Oh man.
Yeah, maybe not.
Maybe you did.
That's why we needed a 2.0.
Yeah.
Dive a little deeper.
Guys, can I chime in for a minute?
Yes, please.
Tell you about Chime.
I just assume wherever this ad is gonna be in the show,
you guys were the ones doing the talking.
But fees are everywhere and they hurt the most
when you're down.
You can't even buy concert tickets, stay overnight at a hotel
or make a payment without some kind of processing fee.
That's why Chime offers free, fee-free banking.
That's hard to say, fee-free banking,
which means no monthly fees, no overdraft fees,
and no minimum balance fees.
All of those affect me a lot,
so that's why you should sign up today at chime.com slash Nate.
Bank fees, they're a hurdle.
You overdraft, and then you end up paying
even more after that.
Make that make sense.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
Make it make sense. You can't sense whatsoever. Make it make sense.
It just can't.
You can't.
That's why I choose Chime.
It's the banking fee free that I love the most.
With Chime, there are no monthly fees, no overdraft fees, no minimal balance requirements.
And that's why we love to partner with Chime.

World Report 2023 time checking account required.
Uh, any of you have pets?
Nah, I mean, my dad's got this dog.
It's kind of like, kind of like mine.
Yeah.
This, this is the new perspective.
We're revisiting the topic.
You guys got any pets?
Nah, I feel like with me, I feel like we did the episode with that.
We probably does stuff similar, but now this was from, we didn't call it inventions,
an animal human language translator.
So your pet can understand you, your pet's making a sound.
Breaking it down for me again.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a pretty self descriptive mix.
See, I think that sounds good.
I guess I think it makes here.
What about a flying car?
It would be like a car that could fly in the air.
Like normal cars on the ground.
Not in the water?
Kind of like a plane, but it's a car.
More like a bird. Would it fly like a bird or like a plane?
I think the animal translator sounds good, but how could you trust it?
How could you trust that the translator
don't trust anything?
So just as we'll have it, but how could you
trust that you ask it, is it translating it
correctly and then it'll say yes.
And then tell the dog, not if you can understand
what I'm saying.
All right.
All right.
I'll give you that.
I would have the, what if it's given the
correct thing to the dog, but not given the,
what the dog saying to you correctly?
Well, he'll know if he tells me to nod and I don't nod.
How would he know though?
If he only speaks his language
and he doesn't understand the language
that it's translating to, how would he know if it's correct?
That's a good point.
If he barks into it to me to nod,
if I can understand him and I nod, he'll know.
How do we know Google Translate's doing it right?
We don't.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what though, that animal to human translator,
big meat is going to step in and stop that one from happening.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Because they're going to...
The whole world becomes vegans overnight.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't.
If a cow can say, hey, please don't kill me, I'll go...
Dusty doubles down.
You don't hook up the translator to the cow.
I mean.
I mean.
Add your solution.
Any last words?
Yeah.
Yeah, dude, a cow comes on the news and goes,
hey, I really appreciate it if you guys would just stop.
Like, I understand I taste good.
And you know, but like, it's a lot on us.
And then we have to get the plant to human translator.
And then the plants are like, don't eat us. And then we have to get the the plant to human translator and then the plants are like don't eat us and then we starve to death
And then the cow goes I don't care if you get the plant to animal translator and the cows like I don't care
I'm gonna eat you because that's what I need to do and that's what I'll say to the cow
So then some point you'd be like well now that cows a jerk
Yeah, cows got a bit of an attitude.
Yeah.
The cows would team up.
That cow's running his mouth, so he's getting it.
The cows would team up and they would go,
these are the cows you should eat.
Yeah.
And then the cows would know that we were eating them
and then they would start to eat bad things
to make their meat taste bad.
Yeah.
That's a movie I'd like to see.
I don't know about an invention I'd like to see,
but it'd be a fun movie
hmm
Here's one that I hope happens in my lifetime, okay
Affordable space travel, so what do you mean?
Break that down
It's like travel in space, but you can afford.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, Greg. Right now, it's very expensive.
I don't want to spell it for you, but it's not going to happen.
Really? Yeah, I don't think space is real, but.
But right now, you know, Jeff Bezos, since it's kind of a nonstarter for Dustin,
I guess his are all guests, but I think there are ways, if you're a
billionaire, you can go to space.
You're talking about kind of like, well, you just saw it with all the, the
women that went up, but those were all guests, but yeah, yeah.
But the average, but eventually it would, that would be affordable enough
that you could just hop on and go instead of going to Myrtle beach for
spring break, let's go up into space for a couple of hours.
Yeah.
I mean, that would be unbelievable.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you would trade a week in Myrtle Beach
for a couple of hours in a capsule in space?
100%.
And I think 99% of Americans would do that.
I would say who's the coffee caviar first?
Yeah.
And you get all expensive space.
All expensive place.
And then I want to get you on one of those jet skis out in the ocean. Not in the bay, in the ocean. Okay. And then there's the Ferris wheel. And then they have the masters of mini golf up there.
Look, I'm not, I don't want to downplay the joy of Myrtle Beach. You're listening to his Charleston propaganda. Charleston of Thomas Ravenhall Bridge. I'm taking the vacation. We're playing on the Polo grounds, north south of the bridge.
I'm taking the full week.
Taking the full week.
Yeah.
For two hours, instead of two hours.
I mean, I don't even think it's two hours.
What is it, like 20 minutes that you go up there?
I mean, with that.
What do you, what would you want to see up there?
Well, well, I mean, there's nothing up there.
There's a lot, Everything's out there.
That's that's the you get to see the earth.
You can see the moon.
You can see the stars.
You can see, you know, stars.
You get to be weightless.
You can never see it.
You get to experience the miracle of a flight and all kinds of stuff.
You get yourself a float and get out of the pool.
That's weightlessness.
You know, there's some grounding.
You just have a couple of floaties. That's weightlessness. You know, there's some groundings, a couple of floaties.
That's weightlessness.
I hear you, man.
Get a noodle.
What about, you know, you go to the moon or something like that for like a, take
a week, go to the moon, get to walk around on it for a little bit, like a
carnival cruise, but to the moon.
Yeah.
If space travel was affordable and we could go to the moon, eventually it
would just be like any other place in this country, you fly there, you get to
the moon, there's a, there's a Ruby Tuesdays and there's a, like a beach
store, but it's a moon store where you can buy a bunch of moon earrings and a
t-shirt that says I went to the moon and it wasn't made of cheese.
I like that. Yeah.
We'll put a Myrtle beach on the moon.
Yeah. I real quick.
Real quick. Yeah. Did you joke like we ever start living there?
I know I'll be on the dark side.
I will be able to afford the sun.
Yeah. Yeah.
No, I think you're absolutely right.
That's that's really funny.
Commercialize it. Be a Bucky's up there.
It would just be, I'm still up there driving a car with a moon roof.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The dark side.
It's called an earth roof.
Dude, how was the moon?
It's like, I can see a lot electric bill outrageous.
Yeah.
I just watched a scientifically accurate, uh, 3d rendering of if the moon collapsed into the earth.
Would not be good.
We're all gone?
Yeah.
There's a movie about that.
Moonfall, right?
Moonfall, yeah, I watched it.
This is a two minute video on YouTube.
This one's pretty ridiculous, but Moonfall is pretty entertaining.
Okay.
Do they stop it from falling?
I don't want to give it away.
Okay.
Let's talk about some of the all-time greatest. What do you think the first invention? Cotton gin. Yeah. No, wait, wait, wait. The first invention on your list or the first invention of all time. They came 200 years ago. Yeah, definitely. First one. More fundamental Christian than you are. I thought you meant on the list. First venture all time.
What'd you say? The wheel?
I got that number two.
Yeah. I'm sure it's not the second.
Is it the oldest profession?
Is that what you're gonna get?
Let's get a little bit older than that.
Fire. I don't have that.
Now, fire's more of a discovery probably.
I don't know. I think you gotta invent it.
You gotta invent the idea of, I guess, but don't you think the first time it
happened, I was like, what is this?
Yeah.
When fire just came up rubbing two sticks.
I was just having a good time rubbing two sticks together.
Uh, so I had to say fire, of course change everything.
It was warmth, protection, cooked food, which allowed our brains to grow and expand.
And light too, so you didn't have to just go to bed
when it was dark.
Changed everything.
Sorry, guys.
No.
Everything's fine.
Everything's fine.
Put your phone underneath there.
Everything's fine.
The wheel was invented 3500 BC.
Did I say that wrong?
No.
I thought somebody else would pick up on it, but.
I saw you look at that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's all right.
It wasn't quite different enough to comment on.
The wheel?
There you go.
It changed everything.
Humans were severely limited in moving stuff.
Yeah.
That were heavy.
They were using triangles before.
And then-
A little bit slower.
You ever seen the triangle bicycles?
I have seen those.
Wheels.
Yeah, they have tanks with weird shapes too, right?
Some of them kind of work.
Now last time when I asked you guys to get you and Nate,
what the first, I think you said the fulcrum.
And Nate ridiculed you for-
Oh, it was the simple machines, right? A pulley the fulcrum and nate ridiculed you for oh there's the simple machines
right a pulley yeah fulcrum uh but they don't know these things right they're just a ramp
would be an invention yeah yeah these are some of the things that change the world the most
once that ramp man that's when dirt bikes became popular that's the one thing once that's what it
ramped and when it became a da. That's when the caveman started
because in order for it to be recorded, the first invention
would have to be like a rock and chisel. Right to to to write
it down.
Yeah, I guess. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't know if that's an
invention versus just a tool.
But if you don't have it, and then you have it, somebody's
invented it.
You sure that came out because it's just a rock that's just
there and then you decide to use it as a tool. That's not an
invention.
You're inventing writing then.
Yeah, yeah, oh, for sure.
Yeah. Nails were invented about 2000 years ago by the Romans and
that changed everything building because you didn't have to have
blocks.
2000 years ago?
Yeah.
So the crucifixion, that was like a hot new invention at that point.
The nail?
Oh, that's a good point.
Uh, according to this, anxious to try it out.
Previously, what structures had to be built by interlocking adjacent boards?
Wow.
Okay.
Uh, now we're getting more up here. This is around 200 BC.
The compass.
Oh, the compass.
Yeah.
Compass.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Before then, uh, the compass guys could navigate at night using the stars, but
daytime was harder.
Yeah.
So, uh, that allowed them to travel further distances.
You guys still couldn't use a compass.
There's no, it's points north.
It's not that hard.
Yeah.
It does all the work for you.
I don't know.
You don't have to do it.
You just look at it.
Really?
Yeah.
Points North magnetic North.
So it also, I was always confused by the compass, but apparently it's magnetic
North, right?
So you just got to make sure the compass itself is pointed north and then the thing lines up.
So wherever it lines up, then you know that this is west,
this is east, this is south.
Never eat soggy waffles.
That's how you know, north, east, south, west.
But if you have the compass, it'll tell you.
Yeah.
Unless it gets rubbed off.
And the phone's doing great with all this stuff too,
so you should just use that.
But if you're ever in a place
where you really have to use a compass,
phone's probably dead.
Yeah.
And you'll probably be dead soon.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The printing press.
What?
Gutenberg.
It seems like we skipped a lot though.
When was the knife had come about in inventions?
I don't know.
I would think. 30 years ago.
Yeah, we haven't got there yet.
I would think a knife would come before the wheel.
Well, he's not, this is not a comprehensive list of inventions.
Yeah, it's not.
These are just some of the highlights.
These are some of the things that are changed the world.
You don't think.
Bates is leaving stuff out.
Nice try, Bates.
You can't just slip. I mean, either do the research or don't do the research, Nate. You can't just slip.
I mean, either do the research or don't do the research, Brian.
You don't think a knife changed the world?
I'm sure it did. Yeah.
I skipped gunpowder, too. Chinese invented gunpowder.
Yeah, that changed the world, too. Fireworks and everything.
Yeah, fireworks.
They invented that for the Fourth of July, I think, the Chinese.
The Chinese got it, yeah.
But the printing press allowed mass production
of reading material and-
The Bible mostly, right?
The Bible and-
Gutenberg, right?
Yeah.
There we go.
Steve?
Steve Gutenberg from Three Men and a Baby.
The police academy.
Yeah, invented the printing press.
Was it Joseph? Why do I wanna say- Johann, I think, John. Well, that's the Joseph of Germany.
Okay. Right. Is that like Johannes Gutenberg did the King James version?
Yeah. But that, yeah, that changed the world. Yeah. And because you no longer had to like,
say you're writing down scientific equations
You don't have to memorize it or I think it was this this this you've got it, you know print it out you can
You get right you get it. You also you couldn't hoard information and hide information from people, right?
You know if you had if you were the one guy in in the village with the book
But now anybody can get it like that. Yeah, that changed
the power dynamic between people that changed everything. If you could read. You got to learn
how to read. That's a big one. That's a big one. I guess he does not teach people how to read.
Now let's get into some stuff in Greg's lifetime. The telephone. Alexander Graham Bell.
lifetime, the telephone. Alexander Graham Bell.
First words ever said on a telephone. Do you know?
I think it's Watson. Are you there? Hello? Hello? Hello?
Can you hear me? Pick up Mr. Watson. Come here. I want to see you.
Okay. You had the Watson. You got the Watson. Yeah.
Called it an electrical speech machine. ESM.
You know the second words?
No, I do not want to change my long distance carrier.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good, Greg.
Thanks, man.
All right, let's do it.
It's getting hotter and hotter here, I realize that.
It is kinda hot, yeah. The light bulb. Show's getting hotter and hotter in here. I really saw it is kind of hot. Yeah. The light bulb shows heating up.
Yeah, it's a wet heat. Some might say the light bulb allow
people to stay up past dark. I think it changed sleeping patterns
to people used to go to bed at dark. It ruined everybody's
circadian rhythm, but fire did that too, right? We had fire
little torch candle, but then you still got to keep it going.
I think bulbs more convenient. Yeah. People don't work at night. It also killed a lot of people in house fires, too
So you got to think about the bad with the good the fire
That's how I like to see the light bulbs too at all all of it did this said before the light bulb
People would go to bed at nightfall and then sleep in segments throughout the night
separated by periods of wakefulness and
Now what's the light bulb is on,
people go to bed and sleep one solid time.
Why would they sleep in periods of wakefulness?
I don't know.
It doesn't say.
I sleep in periods of wakefulness.
Yeah.
On this podcast.
We talked about this on the podcast before
in Dickensian times in like England.
They used to, everybody just used to wake up
at 2.30 in the morning,
hang out for like an hour and then go back to bed.
Really?
That's just what they did because their cycle
or their whatever, their rhythm, they'd wake up at 2.30
and they go, let's just talk for a little bit.
Really?
And that's just how they live life.
That's kind of a cool thing.
Isn't that crazy?
Yeah, when you don't have to work nine to five,
when you just go out, when you wake up at sunrise
and just start farming, yeah, you just go to sleep
when the sun goes down, because there's no light
and you probably sleep for a longer period of time.
So yeah, you get up, have a little tea.
Put on your sleeping hat.
Yeah, drink a little tea, go back to bed.
I wonder, like the thing is when they switched,
there's probably a few stragglers, you know,
that's still where we're getting up at 2-3. What are you doing?
Trying to sleep. Yeah, come on, dude.
It's 2-30. Let's talk. We're not doing that anymore. We're not doing it.
I would think it's been over for four years.
Would sleep better other than maybe, you know, in the winter it's just dark for too long. think it's been over for four years. Would sleep better other than maybe, you know, in the winter,
it's just dark for too long.
So it's too much sleep.
And, you know, maybe you had to get up and do watch, uh, for attackers.
But I would think I w what people say is your circadian rhythm.
You should go to sleep when the sun goes down and wake up when the sun comes up.
But we're not able to do that because we have to have jobs,
we have to keep schedules.
It's shows.
I know.
Yeah.
I was about to ask if they had pillows back then, but.
And even for us, like we don't have a nine to five,
but we go, we do a show, we're out by midnight,
we're asleep at 3 a.m., we don't even, you know.
I get it.
I mean, sometimes the winter time,
the sun goes down like at 4.30.
Yeah, I know.
You want to guess when pillows were invented? I'd say 1984.
25. 7000 BC. Really? Ancient Mesopotamia. Early pillows were made of stone and were not designed
for comfort, but just to elevate the head and keep insects away from the face while sleeping.
Over time, they develop their own cultures,
develop their own versions.
I'd say that's a good example of that not being an invention,
just using a rock.
Interesting, so you wouldn't consider a pillow
an invention. Well, only if a chisel,
a rock and chisel would be considered.
Okay, but just to use a rock, that's a sign.
Just putting your head on it,
and you would say that's a pillow.
Okay.
You're like, get that rock in here.
Mm-hmm.
But it's weird, we're the only thing that uses pillows.
To sleep?
Yeah, like a gorilla doesn't use a pillow, doesn't need a pillow.
But that's why I think when you see all these things for new mattresses and they're like,
you know, come to think it, I've never seen a gorilla with a pill.
I never thought about it.
But their, their bodies basically built the same as ours.
Yeah.
Why don't they need a pill?
Don't they say it's better not to have a pillow?
But it's like, yeah, all these things designed for our sleep.
I think it's our bodies are supposed to be like, he looks, doesn't say that.
Right.
They're always like, get the best sleep of your life.
And it's like, so for majority of human existence,
people weren't getting good sleep.
I don't think so.
I bet they were sleeping the best.
But babies don't sleep with a pillow.
Babies don't sleep with a pillow.
In fact, you're told not to use a pillow.
Right.
I think sleeping on the ground
is the way to go for our backs. Why don't you do it? I don't know, man. I think sleeping on the ground is the way to go for our backs.
Why don't you do it?
I don't know, man.
I've slept on the ground.
It's not, it's, your back does not feel good.
They say the first night.
He slept on the ground in his car eating Subways.
Eating Subway.
They say the first night,
first little while till you adjust is really hard.
Man, that, they sleep on the ground,
man, my stomach hurt
and got tomato sauce all over my face.
Are you mean like on your floor at home?
Are you Craig Ward?
Yeah, I mean the floor, because we have the floor now,
but it's like if you had a hut or whatever
and you slept on the ground, you're grounding first off,
so you probably have no inflammation on your body.
I'm not saying it's optimal.
I don't want to go back to that, but I'm saying I think there's probably something to it
that is probably good for us.
Yeah.
Probably.
But I'm not against it.
I'm just saying.
I love my Helix pillow.
Me too.
Me too.
What's a Helix pillow?
That's one of our sponsors.
Oh, yeah?
Helix mattresses.
Can you explain it to me?
Yeah, it's just a good pillow.
It's just a good...
I love pillows.
I love good mattresses.
I got Helix mattresses.
I got other kinds.
And I'm like, I love them.
I love them.
I'll give them a shot, man.
You need a new mattress?
No.
Man, maybe.
Maybe.
I definitely would mind trying a new pillow.
But maybe there is something to us having too much comfort is what probably just probably
We're getting free samples of ice cream. We're just
Lying in the newest technology of bed. We got too many inventions out here too much
Anything you wish hadn't been invented? Oh
So much social media. Yeah, that's a lot of people say
Yeah, people say social media, which is so funny that they're saying it on red. Yeah
Yeah, I guess I don't really think of read it as a social media, but I but I guess it is
Yeah, it's not one of the ones you most think of it. I think yeah, I'm glad we have social media
Look, I'm using it. It's here. I'm using yeah
This is I appreciate this wouldn't be on but I think there's an argument to be it. It's here. I'm using it. Yeah, this is where this wouldn't be on. But I think
there's an argument to be made. It's had a lot of bad effect.
Terrible. Yeah, it's killing people. But here's some of the
people listed the wish wishing to rid of it at crypto. Yeah,
it takes a ton of energy to make it happen. And oh, sure. It's
also behind most of the scams.
Usually the way they get everybody's money is through crypto.
For me, I don't feel like it has any effect on my life.
So I don't.
Well, I mean me either,
except they say it takes a ton of energy to-
Energy and water and resources and everything.
So, NFT is the same thing.
Although I haven't heard about that.
I don't, I'll never understand what an NFT is. I think it's kind of already gone.
Non-fungible token. I, I mean, I hear you saying it.
And I didn't help at all. No. And you're going to, you could, you could,
even Bates who we've learned is really good at breaking stuff down, uh, could explain it to me
and I wouldn't get it. Break it down. I wouldn't get it. Break it down, Bates. I wouldn't get it. Break it down, Bates.
All right, Dusty, here's some that you'll be on board with
getting rid of or wishing they were better.
Curie coffee machines.
Yeah.
Because they say the plastic is bad for the mind.
Just cheapens coffee.
Yeah.
Cheapens coffee.
Oh, so not even for the same reason.
You think it cheapens coffee?
No, I think plastic is bad too.
Put a cheapens coffee, what does that mean?
Yeah, it's like, you know, there's something to getting your coffee
beans out of the freezer, smelling them, grinding them in a quick
grind and then brewing a pot.
Yeah.
I don't even do coffee.
You can still do all that.
Yeah.
You can still do all that for sure.
Have at it, you know?
So the same, the same with microwaves.
Yeah.
Microwave, no microwave.
Yeah.
Have at it.
You wish you'd microwave it.
Microwave. Yeah. I don't, I try not to ever use one.
That's what I'm talking about.
We've got another one.
Oh my God.
That's what I'm talking about.
It's not good for you.
Freak show.
That's what I'm saying, it's not good for you.
Thank you, Greg.
I guess.
These people think I'm insane.
I do think that.
No, I think Greg is.
The food doesn't taste as good either.
Yeah, did you get your subway sandwich toasted
when you ate it in a little microwave?
Listen, I mean, we can all point to certain moments
of our life.
It was a lot more.
We don't live by our principles.
I've had a lot of meals in cars I'm not proud of,
where I drive to an empty parking lot
and park in the back,
facing the rest of it like Al Capone in a bar.
I don't want to see somebody sneak it up on me.
Oh yeah.
Uh, gas station TVs, the ones on the.
Yeah. Worst invention of all time.
Oh, it's like at least show us something.
If we pull up, if I pull up and there's a highlight reel of, of sports,
just giving me straight up Larry Bird shots, you know, get
me old school. Larry Bird highlights. That would be great. Any highlights of sports would
be awesome. You pull up to the gas pump. There's no ads. It's just. Larry Bird. Just. Yeah.
Yeah, but the screen's there for advertisements so they can make money from it. No, I get
it. But I'm saying if you just give me sports,
something like that, highlights real quick.
You pay more for gas?
No, but-
Then why would they have any incentive to put that out?
I'm not saying they would, but I'm just saying,
I don't wanna be advertised to at the pump.
You might stop there more often
if that's the one that didn't.
Yeah, they had something cool,
have standup comedy, have reels.
I told somebody one time,
I was like being self-deprecating,
and I told somebody, this is, I don't know,
few specials, you're like,
I got a special coming out,
and they're like, where's it gonna play?
I'm like, well, right now we're looking at playing it
on those gas station TVs.
I was just being self-deprecating,
and he goes, really, man, that's a good idea.
I was just like, no, man,
I'm not putting my special on the gas station TV. That is a good idea. They're like, no, man, I'm not putting my special on the gas station TV.
That is a good idea. Yeah.
They're like, yeah.
I was thinking about this.
There's only two moments in modern American life where you're completely
vulnerable and susceptible to advertisement.
The first is when your bag's going through the TSA machine and you're just
standing there, no phone on you, nothing.
And you're just like, dude, you can't be distracted by anything.
Right?
You got nothing there.
The second is at a urinal.
And I think that that's why they have that advertisement right in front of you at a urinal.
I don't find that.
That's the only time where your hands are like, you don't have a phone to distract you.
You're focused on one thing.
So that would be the time.
But what if you went up to the urinal and on that thing was the Sunday comic strip?
You know, the Sunday funny...
I've seen where they have...
Family circus.
Sports spars will have like the front page of USA Today Sports or whatever.
What about a TV monitor?
Yeah, put a little TV right there. As long as it's not ads, if it's something. It's gonna be ads.
Yeah. You know, Aaron, you're the one that told me that you can push with the second button and...
There is a button to mute those. I've tried every button. And where? It's usually on like gas
gas pumps. Oh really? You told me that. It doesn't work all the time, but it has worked for me before.
Bottom right, second from the bottom. Okay. Press that, it'll mute it.
And like cabs in New York City, there's like...
Some Ubers have them too.
They have the little iPads on the back of the seats.
You can play games.
And you can't stop it.
And I'm like, I just want this light to not be in my face.
I want to look at my own light in my hand.
Here's one I agree with.
24 hour cable news.
As someone who used to work in TV news, we don't need news.
No, that is at the root of a lot of what's wrong.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, to fill the time, then you just have to
either do a bunch of stuff that doesn't even really need
to be talked about.
Sports too.
They're creating storylines for sports that is like, we don't need all this.
Yeah, just the game.
What happened with the game? I don't need to know how the guy grew up.
I agree.
Unless it's a good story.
Yeah, maybe that.
Give me a documentary. I'll take a documentary, but yeah, it's like everything, every game
doesn't mean something to someone because of how they were raised.
That's that's well said. Yeah. Yeah. I agree.
What about this dusty land ownership? Oh, no, I fully believe in land ownership.
And I think, yeah, I mean, I think we should have more rights as landowners.
OK, I thought you might be on board with the Native Americans
who say it's all our land and we should. No, no.
Yeah. So you glad we got rid of them. I'm glad we have land ownership
So when God created the earth he said here it is take care of it
You know conquer your own little patch of it protect it with the law and then you know, that's the way you'll do it
Yeah, man, I'm basically that basically that is what he said. Okay.
That must be in King James.
We haven't exactly taken care of it though, right?
Well, that's the thing.
But people that have, you know, it's like, yeah, I mean,
you know, it's like private land ownership,
like I own a piece of property
and then I take care of my land.
Corporations and mega rich people owning just giant plots
of land that they do whatever with.
Who decides who's mega rich?
Well, that's a thing, right?
It all gets sticky with that, but it's like,
do we even have total land ownership
when you have to pay property tax?
If you don't pay your taxes, you lose your land.
So do you really own it if it could be taken from you?
That's another thing.
Okay.
Is this our land or is this our lease?
Right, exactly.
You kind of lease it.
Well said.
So it's like, but there is, you know,
kind of move on. different things, you know,
but I agree with land ownership
because I think that you should,
everybody should be able to have their own little piece
of land that they get to say, this is mine
and I get to live here and no one can take this.
But only if you can afford to buy it at market value.
Well.
But if the government had no jurisdiction over it,
then we just, it's all ours.
Well, I'm not, no, I mean, then you protect your own land.
It's getting dicey.
You protect your own land then.
From who?
From whoever would try to take it.
From whom?
Anyway, keep going.
I mean, what do you mean from who?
Aaron is a jerk, I'll take that back.
Yeah, I think.
Because if there were no land ownership,
then you have to have this agreement
with everyone
around you that, hey, we just all live here and everything's great and fine.
What's wrong with that?
It's just not realistic.
Yeah, social contract.
That's what society's built.
It's a hippie.
We all plant fruit trees and we just eat from them.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, I wanted to bring this up.
There's a neighbor in my neighborhood, he has a pear tree.
Okay.
Really?
Nobody's going and eating the pear trees out of the guys
Everybody always says oh everybody would just take the fruit. Nobody's eating the pears out of this guy's lawn
Okay, I walk by it all the time. Nobody's eating the have you tried to say you know, it's his law. Yeah. Yeah. All right, man
I'm I think if I had a pear tree
It's too late now, you know why?
I plant a pear tree. It'd take 30 years to grow.
I'm dead before that.
Don't you have some growing on your land?
I have a couple of peaches that I planted a couple years ago.
I mean, that is something that I, you know,
I've never lived anywhere but a condo.
But I'm telling you, now that I think of somebody
have a fruit tree, that's something, man.
That is like, I think that's better
than getting a hot tub, really.
That's what I'm saying. I would rather have a fruit tree than a hot tub. That's what I'm saying.
I would rather have a fruit tree than a hot tub and a pool.
If you live in a neighborhood and everybody owns, everybody that lives there owns,
and then they all take care of their property a lot better when they own.
And then you all have fruit trees, you all have an agreement with each.
That agreement exists still um you know and i just think i think land ownership's good
you think he's eating all those pears i don't think anybody's eating them so they're just falling
off the tree rotten and some comments would be oh everybody would just come and take all the fruit
and i just don't think because i think the comments were the opposite i think they were saying that
they'll just fall off and then bugs and insects come,
and it's a big problem.
I didn't know you could get this far north and have a pear tree.
No, this guy doesn't let them fall and rot.
I mean, my point is he has pears on the tree,
and they're just growing.
So I think instead of having ornamental trees in every yard,
if everybody just had fruit trees...
They gotta be hard to grow though, right?
I don't think they're any harder than any of the other trees.
My mom has a pear tree.
Really?
Yeah, three to seven years you can start bearing fruit on a pear tree.
So if we all had...
You have plenty of time, Greg.
Plan a couple.
If we had neighborhoods filled with fruit trees...
Condo associations.
They can live for over a hundred years and continue we would get fresh, nutritious food every day.
Yeah.
Does your dad have a yard?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Plant one there.
I went to my dad's house.
He had three blueberry bushes.
I went out to the bushes with me, my wife, and my two kids.
We stood at those blueberry bushes.
We all ate our fill of blueberry bushes
and left and there were still blueberries on the bushes.
That's amazing.
It is amazing.
Yeah.
We ate it right off the tree.
I'll end on some movies about inventions.
I always liked to end on movies.
By the way, sorry to interrupt, Bates.
No, it's all right. Go ahead.
The book about the Wright brothers
is the best book
I've ever read.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
What's it called?
The Wright brothers.
David, that guy that writes all the biographies, McCormick.
Without a W.
Oh, sure, sure.
What did you say?
The Wright brother.
Without a W.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the Wright brother.
They're a team.
It's so great, man.
Really? Yeah, it's the best book I've ever read. It's so great, man. Really?
Yeah, it's best book ever.
Is it David McCormick?
By, let me look it up.
Yeah.
Can't find it.
I'm bad Googler right now.
It doesn't exist.
I can't Google it.
No, no, this guy writes a biography of me.
Is it called Wilburn Orville?
No, it's called The Wright Brothers.
It's called The Wright Brothers.
I'm almost positive. Okay. Maybe not. I think it might be called Wilburn and Orville? No, it's called the Wright Brothers. It's called the Wright Brothers. I'm almost positive.
Okay.
Maybe not.
Hmm, I think it might be called Wilbur and Orville, dude.
Biography.
Is that the cover of it?
Fred Howard?
No, it's not Fred Howard, this guy.
Fred Howard's a chump, right?
Yeah.
The Wright Brothers right here, American legends.
Is that it?
Charles River?
Nope, that's not it.
Yeah, Lee.
There's a book called Truman.
He wrote Truman too.
Oh, right here, David McCullough.
McCullough, sorry, McCullough.
Julian.
David McCullough's book on the Wright Brothers
is maybe one of the best books I've ever read.
We know what the New York Times said about it.
It soars.
Yeah, see?
The Wright Brothers soars.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
You'd think the printing press for that.
Sure can. And the chisel the printing press for that sure can
And the chisel probably because that's how language is
You know what the Wright brothers did before they invented flight, right?
Bicycle shop, right? Did you know they kept the bike shop open while they were inventing flight?
Really? This is true. This is true. They did and to keep them funds coming in. Yeah
The point that I've made
I'm not gonna lie. I've made it on stage before,
is that you gotta think,
they probably weren't paying as much attention
to their bike customers as they were.
I mean, they're inventing flights.
They probably were neglecting the bike part of the business
for somebody to be like,
hey Orville, I brought my bike in six weeks ago.
Yeah, yeah, we're working on it.
I mean, like, I don't think you are
because I'm pretty sure I saw my pedals attached
to your flying machine in the front yard.
Like it's, you know.
Like, Stuart Huff used to have a very funny joke
about the Wright brothers and that one.
And that was pretty good.
No, Stuart Huff's hilarious.
Yeah, do you remember his joke?
No.
About how it kind of, they killed innovation because,
and he does the act out of all the previous,
you seen the videos of the guys trying to fly.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just ridiculous stuff and then,
and it's a very funny joke.
Do you know that, I do, I don't remember a lot of that book,
but I do remember they started to make progress when they would just basically
stand outside and stare at birds. Like that's when they started to figure it out.
That's what Dusty says.
Just watching birds.
Just really, really watching birds. Cause they were like, they said like they got the
mechanics of it, but they didn't get the adjustment of it. And they started to learn the adjustment
of it when they, when they just looked at birds. Whoa. Makes sense. Yeah. Great book. Real fast. Some movies
about inventions. Oppenheimer. Okay. Wow. Starting dark. I started with that though.
We wouldn't. Tesla, which I haven't seen, but I haven't seen it either.
Imitation Game, seen that.
That's code breaking.
The Prestige.
You've seen that, Tesla's in that.
Is that the one with Christian Bale?
Yeah, Christian Bale.
I haven't seen it, but I have heard that that's very good.
You haven't seen The Prestige?
I'm not sure I've seen it.
The Prestige is unbelievable.
Christian Bale guy.
I know, I may have it actually.
I may have it from your DVD. Yeah, you gotta watch that tonight. It's unbelievable. Christian Bale guy. I know. I may have it actually. I may have it from your DVD.
Yeah, you gotta watch that tonight. Yeah.
Flash of Genius. I love that movie. What about the Leonardo DiCaprio one where he's uh... What's eating Gilbert Grape?
Basketball Dyers? Where he's uh... Man, I don't think that's it either. Titanic? No, no, he's a... The Revenant? The Aviator.
The Aviator, yeah.
That's a really good one.
That's about...
Howard Hughes.
Howard Hughes, almost a Hugh Hefner.
Hugh Howser.
I'd say Hugh Howser.
Hugh Howser.
Yeah.
I'd see that.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Flash of Genius.
Hugh Hefner, he was, yeah.
Flash of Genius is Greg Kinnear.
Greg Kinnear.
Yeah, no, Vader.
I've told you about this once before.
He invented the intermittent windshield wipers
and then Ford stole his patents.
Yeah. Man, that is a good movie.
Well, that's what I think about a lot
of these famous inventors.
I think a lot of them probably stole their ideas
from people who, you know, invented it
and didn't have the resources.
The social network.
If it happened once, it probably happened many times.
That's an unbelievable movie.
That is a fantastic movie.
I just saw that on a list of like top 100 movies.
Top five movie this century, I'll say that.
Really?
Of the 2000, I think it's that good.
Yeah.
And it's one of the most important things
that's been invented in this century.
Yeah.
I think it's- What is?
The social network.
Facebook.
Oh. The movie's better than the actual story. Like... Oh, it's so much better. Yeah. It's
written and everything. Steve Jobs too. Doesn't get... Yeah, the Steve Jobs that Aaron
Sorkin also wrote. Yeah. Really great movie. Doesn't get talked about a lot.
Yeah. Anyway, that's it. Wrap it up. Should we talk about where we're gonna be?
Yeah, where are we gonna be? Thank you for coming by, Greg.
I always love it here, you guys. Thank you.
I did two podcasts with Greg today.
Are you sick of him yet?
No, we had a great time.
Wait till you see that Trader Joe's.

We can get that going.
Yeah, we can get that going for sure.
