Lot going on like going on Alright Burned out we're a minute and a half in it's gonna be it's gonna get good. No. No, I think it's gonna be fun I just feel like there's a lot of pressure on me right now. Well, yeah Yeah, kind of comes with the name and well, I'm not filming it from the audience. I'm filming it from... I didn't want to give a shout out to you four.

Andy Forrester. Oh, yeah. This Friday, it's Andy Forrester from Raleigh, North Carolina. He did the showcase. Season three is here. AJ Lee Digg premiered last week. And Andy Forre... Lydig. Lydig, sorry. Andy Forrester from Raleigh, North Carolina. Yeah, Andy's great. And so yeah, make sure you check his out. It's on the

YouTube channel. Yeah, all that. And I just did a bunch of good, we did a bunch of Grammy stuff. Or Emmys. Emmys. Yeah. Oh, you're Emmy nominated, by the way. Has that come up on the podcast? Probably not, cause, you know, bad news over here doesn't care. He's already got an Emmy, right? Who wrote the list? He won an Emmy. I know, I know, but that was like a plastic one, right?

Yeah. We won, there's two Emmy award winners here. Oh, that's right, yeah. For what? Greg won, yeah, My Name is Earl. Yeah, that's real. Ask him about it, he'll tell you. Oh boy He got an hour and a half

20th century. Yeah And then Brian Bates won, you know the Emmys that they show on PBS That is correct. It's the one day. Yeah, they do show it during commercials What was yours technically for? You're right the first time it's on PBS. Is it on PBS? Yes. Oh really? Yeah. What are we talking about? What did you win?

When I was in TV news, the Mid-South Regional Emmy Awards, I won an Emmy for... Okay. It's... Mid-South Regional? Yeah, specifically it's Tennessee. Is that a hot bracket? It's one of the more competitive regions for sure.

It's his biggest market right now in stand-up. Go ahead. It's the Mid-South region. Oh, are you Brian Mid-South Regional Bates? Well, if you'd like to call me that, sure. It's TV stations in Tennessee, North Carolina, and Bowling Green, Kentucky. And Huntsville, Alabama. Yeah.

Yeah. They, he's not all over Kentucky, but he's in the, there's some tough stations in North Carolina. So are you all of North Carolina? Was it all of North Carolina or just the part that touches Tennessee? Did they do you go, did you beat Charlotte? Yeah. Oh, wow. North Carolina goes to the water.

It goes all the way to the water. Raleigh, W-R-A-L, they're tough stations. That's fantastic. Where do you display your Emmy? Well, I brought it in here once when Nate did not win an Emmy. I brought it to the podcast that day. Just put it on the desk.

But now it's just on my bookcase at home. Okay, fantastic. Nice place to put it. Is it heavy? It's heavy, right? I held an image today because we did the photos or I was like, you know little picture Mine's not too heavy. Yeah, are they different the mid-south ones are different Um at the time they look just like what the current emmys do but now the current emmys the base is round and at that time, the base was rectangular. Yeah.

I had a friend once, comedy writer friend, that thought the Oscar statue was solid gold, every single one that they gave to people. And I was like, is this a real thing you think? And he was like, yeah. And that was one of the most satisfying look at ups I've ever done. Cause I go, how much do you think that would be worth?

If they were giving away- A solid go Oscar? 40 Oscars a night, or I don't even know how many Oscars there are. How much? Millions of that. Millions? It wouldn't be millions. Oh, you're talking about the whole thing.

Yeah. Oh, the whole thing. How much would one- How much does an Oscar weigh? I mean. Well, is it solid gold? Well, then it weighs a lot more. Mm-hmm, it might be hollow.

It might be hollow gold. Holler out. At least 10 pounds. I looked it up and it was something like $180,000 a statue, I think. That would be awesome. An Oscar weighs 8.5 pounds. The going rate of 8.5 pounds of gold is no.

What are you talking about? Or Ogfold? I'm saying the size is not eight and a half pounds of gold. It's what the size of the Oscar in gold would weigh. Yeah, would not be eight and a half pounds. That's exactly what I'm looking up. If it's if it's the same way, if that's actually gold, eight point five pounds of gold.

But I think he's saying- We're doing one of those things where we're talking about different things, but it would take so long to fix it that we just, let's just keep going. So eight and a half pounds is how much? Why don't you do us the pleasure of reframing what you're trying to say?

Okay, so I speak Julian. He's saying the current weight is what you just looked up. And he's saying if it's made of gold, it weighs more. So he thinks it's worth more because of it. More or less. I don't know what the statutes actually made out of. So I don't know. You said this was the most satisfying lookup

you've ever done. It's turning into the most dissatisfying. All I Googled was if an Oscar statue was solid gold, what would it be worth? That's all I Googled. Okay. This is what I was worried about when I started this podcast.

If anyone's interested, 8.5 pounds of gold is currently worth between 200 grand and 240 grand. There you go. So, a lot of money. It is a lot. It's more than they're giving away to everyone. And the statue would probably be smaller, right? Because if you had a gold.

Right, for gold, it would be much smaller. Yes, cause you eight and a half pounds of gold would have to be. Yeah, yeah, pretty small. So now you're making my, this is, I know you're following all of this. I'm gonna leave. I think I should leave.

Can you imagine though, before Google, you would just have to agree to disagree? This would end a friendship. How frustrating would that be? Oh yeah, this would take weeks. Yeah. So yeah, there we go. So it's not, so I don't know what Oscar statues

are actually made of, but it's not solid gold because they're not going to give a $250,000 statue to. Is there gold in the paint or something? Is there any gold? I think so, I think it's like dipped in gold. Like Notre Dame's helmets. Yeah, exactly. How much is an Oscar worth?

Like if you can buy an Oscar? There you go. $1. Don't act like you're getting Google this. Technically. I think it would depend on whose it was, right? What kind of lineage it has. They have a rule, the Academy has a rule

that the winners cannot sell their Oscar without first offering it back to the Academy for $1. Well, that seems like a bad deal. Yeah. But it's made of gold-plated Britannia metal estimated to be worth around $400. Okay. It's raining.

I'm sure you can hear the rain. Yeah. We had this problem last week too. Yep. Something about Zanies when it rains. It's kind of nice. Yeah. If we were sitting on the porch talking, it'd be nice. Yeah, this kind when it rains it's kind of nice yeah if we're sitting on the porch talking yeah it's kind of sounds it's nice people are at home

trying to have a good time they don't love it no I mean if you're listening to it it sounds like we're you know it's like we're you know hanging out in a in a shack when it's raining you know how people like to do. The Oscar's made of gold, plated Britiania. It's made of encyclopedias. Yeah, Britiania. Britannica, yeah. Britannica metal. It's worth around $400. Mm-hmm, not, may I remind you, $240,000.

Big difference. Yeah. But that's like the resale values, like due to the Academy's rule, the resale value values limited to $1 Like who if you're reselling your Oscar, I'd imagine you're in your own kind of predicament. Yeah To the Academy. Yeah, you're not worried about the Academy's Rules. Yeah, you're not following rules at that point. No, you're at a pawn shop and you're taking what they give you for it. Yeah Which they know the rules and they go, what did they go?

I'll give you $2 or I'll call the Academy. There you go. And he goes, John, you're good. Uh, all right. Uh, all right. You guys are all over the place this weekend. We were all over the place. We were in, uh, uh, orange beach, orange beach, the war. Fampin theater. show. Fun. Outdoor. That's a cool spot.

Yeah. A little weather delay? Little weather delay. Some lightning, rain. We got the show off. It was great. Then we were in Raleigh and Charleston and Tallahassee. Yep. We did six shows this week. They were all amazing. It was a fun, yeah, fun, I mean, fun, great shows. Yeah, Tallahassee was super fun. I mean, they're all great.

Great, great crowds. Great crowds. Yeah, the crowds, I mean, this tour started off hot. Yeah, real hot. We've been saying like the 3 p.m. shows are awesome. Like they've been, you know, not that they've never been great, but sometimes they could feel like it's 3 p.m. and they just feel like they're, it the 3 p.m. Shows are awesome like they've been you know not that they've never been great but sometimes they could feel like it's 3 p.m. And they just feel like they're it's 8 p.m. Like it just people are excited and

We've enjoyed it and we look forward to keep going more and more so it's great I saw today on the internet that they saw right off the coast of orange. What's it called orange? Where were we orange? Be orange beach. Yeah, there was a I want to say ten foot tiger shark like right by the Right at the shore Wow, like people are just like looking right at it. Yeah Oh, and those are those aren't the good ones Tiger sharks Aaron Weber here. I am so excited to tell you about our next sponsor chubby. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, so we had a fun, fun weekend. Like, I don't know, it was great. The crowds are awesome. We're having a blast. So, but I think your weekend will be, I'll be more interested to hear about yours. Okay. I can tell that was sincere I

was in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the Looney bin. Hmm It's a bunch of great shows a lot of folks came out It's a great club Tulsa has two good comedy clubs. Yeah, break down and then the Looney bin. Yeah. Yeah and great shows Yeah. I mean, it was, it was fun. Thanks to everybody who came out. Hmm. There we go. Join us. Me, Greg. Did you, I was in a golf tournament. Oh yeah. The red, white and blue at, uh, Calbass's country club. I told a few jokes out there. People were, yeah, I was entertaining as well. You know, I got

some people laughing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I had a good time. You mean just like socially? Yeah, just socially. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I just- That's great. I just got the bar. No, I just wander around. I tell people stories. Yeah. I was, people were very interested in hearing stories about caddying for you. So I did give a few caddying stories. They were all excited about that. So- What was the, yeah, what were some cad, the caddying stories? Cause I don't remember you doing much. No, I didn't do much caddy, but I had a lot of other things that I was going on.

Well, at one point I'm warming up and you know, when you pull your, you hit your, you pull all your clubs out of your bag and you're hitting, and then I would lay them, I just set them next to the bag. Cause your caddy is supposed to kind of grab them and clean them off. And I mean, I look over basically every bags, every club is out of the bag and none of them are getting cleaned. And then I just had to grab the stuff and go, all right, I think I'm going to go putt now.

Yeah. Well, I got approached by a guy that's the announcer, Steve Sands, who I know. And so I was talking with him. And yeah, by the time I turned around, all the clubs were basically on the ground. And Nate was like, you having fun? You having a good time? Sounds like you were. Yeah, he was having a good time? Sounds like you are. He was having a good time.

Yeah, but great. I think, I think my favorite story from it was when, uh, because a couple of people, uh, had some pictures of my TV show. So as a caddy, I actually was signing some things, which was really weird. And I'm not used to sign anything. And a guy hands me a Sharpie and I'm sitting there trying to get the top off and I'm trying to get it off. I can't trying to get it off I can't get the top off I can't get the top off and then I look at him he's holding the top and I look at

my hand and it's just completely black from all the lines from the thing. I went back and showed Nate I was like I'm not good at this I'm not good but that was a great time we had a fun time. We had a blast it was super fun. How the shows you want to talk about how the shows have been for you, Julian? Yeah, sure. I mean, yeah, the crowds are, they're great right when I get out there. And I go first and I have to, what? That kind of undersells the job that you do. It's like you are going up there cold and you do a great job. Well, yeah.

But Julian's kind of like the, I mean, what would it be? The... Ringmaster? The ringmaster. Yeah. He's the ringmaster. But it is for these big arenas.

The best thing that I ever did, and it's because I have someone as good as Julian, is to have that. Cause the shows are so big that you do need someone that can go up there that the crowd loves and they can there's a trust there and they kind of guides them. We have a lot of people that have never been to stand-up shows and just kind of guiding them through it. That's a good point to bring up is I always ask how many people this is their first ever live

comedy show and it's a huge number. I mean, you're getting a lot of people that have never been to a comedy show. And it's pretty funny, coming from our careers and what we've known to be comedy for 20 years of being in these clubs, like Brian this past weekend. It's so not like this. So to have this be your first comedy show is very funny to me.

Yeah. Oh yeah. Do you ask them if it's their last one? Well, I say it's all downhill from here, you know what I mean? But it's a... Yeah, what I mean is they're very excited. And yeah, if you don't want to lose that energy, you don't want to send somebody up there who's not going to build on that. That's all. But I mean, I'm just saying they're very excited to be there.

And it's fun to be. I think it's great. Like a lot of these the arenas are so big, people are like, well, does it work for comedy? I think it adds an element. And I would have been skeptical skeptical five years ago. I would have been like, I don't know, that might be too big. They're really they're feeding off each other like crazy. And it's a really fun atmosphere. So it's great. We have a great setup this year, too.

And the screens are awesome and the stage is round. And it just feels, yeah, it feels very, for as big as it is, intimate as it can be. And it's, and you can feel it when they're all laughing. I mean, it's crazy to be telling a story and just you can hear kind of silence when they're listening to the whole story and you can tell they're engaged. And it's, I mean, I love it. I love it. I had speaking of intimate, I was at the comedy catch in Chattanooga this weekend.

Great shows. One of the nights after the shows, the staff brought in a poker dealer. We had, we played poker night with the staff. Texas hold them. It was, and they take it. Mics are cutting in and out. Think there might be some power problems here. Sound fine to me. Oh, I could hear you. But maybe I just heard it in my headphones. Yeah, it might be a headphone thing.

But we played poker with the staff. They take it so seriously. It was so much fun. We sat just to be in the show room playing, playing poker with everybody. It was awesome. What's the buy-in was a $30 buy-in, but people, people bought back in. Oh, okay. People take that seriously. Yeah. How'd you, how'd you do? I, uh, I had to leave eventually. It was there at like midnight or 1am.

So I gave my chips to Danielle, the owner, and she ended up winning the whole thing with Oh, wow. Oh, wow. With my chips. So we split the pot. That's good that you gave them to the owner, not to the bus boy or something. Yeah, that's great. You go right to the top. Yeah. He knows where his bread is butter.

It's exactly what I was about to say. He's no dummy. Yeah. He's no dummy. So get this. I stated a unbelievable Airbnb this weekend, right on the Tennessee river, right by this place called The Suck.

That's what they call that part of the river, cause I think it was just, I think it sucked to travel through it. That's why they call it The Suck. Beautiful view, but I get there, and there's a little note that says, hey, by the way, we have two cats, feed them a can of tuna every day.

Are you kidding? There's two cats in the house that are just the owners. And you find out when you get there? Yeah, no, I didn't read their baby description that well. There's probably some writing in there. I'm sure they didn't mention it. But cats, there's two cats in the house. I have cats, I'm like, whatever.

At one point, the owner, who was very nice, but he came to the house to like work on something. So I was like, oh, At one point, the owner, who was very nice, but he came to the house to work on something. So I was like, oh, you live in town. Just take the cat, you know? Have the cat to your place. It's kind of crazy. But one night, we're sitting there watching TV and we smell something and we're like, oh no.

And Connor Larson, who was with me, he gets up, he starts walking, he slips in. Cat, fair to call it diarrhea, all over the floor of the living room. Slips on it, we turn the lights on, it's everywhere, dude. One of these cats has just destroyed the living room downstairs. So I messaged the Airbnb owner and I was like, hey dude, we tried to clean up a little bit, but it smells horrific downstairs.

We can't even be downstairs right now. They sent back this long apology. They were like, we just switched flea medication. One of the side effects is diarrhea. Also not in the email. Yeah, before you. Yeah, they didn't include that for sure. But a lady came by at like seven in the morning the next day and did a deep clean of the downstairs

and it was fine after that. But I had never heard of that. First, just animals in an Airbnb is pretty crazy. Yeah. That's why would they not, that's crazy to, I guess they assume people want a cat there. And just to leave your pets with strangers as well. Yeah. But I guess it was either that or fleas. You had to pick your poison, right?

Yeah. That's a good point. Yeah. The house was worth it. I mean, it was that nice of a place, like great view and everything, but it was just a weird thing to deal with. Plus that poor guy was probably so embarrassed. I'm sure he was. He doesn't know you. He just met us.

Yeah. Yeah, he goes in there and just... because I don't know what to tell you. It's his medication. Yeah. Julian, are you choking? When Julian said that I thought there was a fifth person here because his voice all of a sudden changed. It really freaked me out. It freaked me out.

You gonna be alright? I think I'm alright. Okay. It really freaked me out. It freaked me out. Well, there's a- You're gonna be all right? I think I'm all right. Okay, let me do it again. Must've been embarrassing for the cat. Yeah, big time. But the shows were great. Thank you to everybody who came out and chatted Nougat, the comedy catch.

Danielle said there's been a long-going feud between Dusty Slay and Danielle about who could swim faster. And Danielle said that when Dusty was there last, he said his shoulder was hurting so he wasn't able to. Yeah so just throwing that out there. I think Dusty's ducking this a little bit. Is that why he missed today? Because he's got that training. Yeah, shoulder. Would they swim in a pool or in the in the suck? Where do you go do that race? I think you got to do it in like an Olympic sized pool. Oh okay. Danielle was a she was a collegiate swimmer I think she was a back and she runs marathon now yeah Iron Man yeah oh I'm sure he's a good

meter that he's got a lot of he's does he's got a lot of drag you know what I mean that's got the hair and the beard and the you know what I mean and that probably swims in the I'm guessing holding them back yeah yeah all right well that you know all right there we. So we can start with the comments now. Yeah. Yeah, look at that. Donna Whirly, this memory episode was so much fun. We had the band together discussing a great topic. I was raised Catholic and after confession,

the priest would assign me a number of our fathers and Hail Marys to pray to set things right. I lived in fear I would inevitably lose count and thereby not recite my quote of prayer reps. All right. Funny. That is very funny. Eric Bowling. His last name is Bowling. I bet if it is he has to go, uh, Eric Bowling. Yes. Like bowling. Yep. Like you have to say it every single time. Every time. As a former high school AP psychology teacher, I enjoyed the recent episode on memory. One interesting aspect of memory is that is stored in your brain like puzzle pieces

and not like a movie because of this. You never remember something the same way twice. As you retrieve a memory, you omit details or add in additional details that create new memories every time. Hmm. I agree to disagree. No, I just I thought that would be fun to say that. I thought about that halfway in the middle of reading. I don't know if I understand that.

So like the each memory is a one piece of the whole puzzle is your life. Yeah. Yeah. It's not like you remember the whole scenes. It's just like you could go like, yeah, I get the idea. Like if you saw a puzzle that with stuff missing, you would be like, oh yeah, that's a, you know, that's a donkey pulling a wagon. But you would be like, but there's a guy on it. You're like, well, I don't have the guy picture, but you're like, you get the idea. Yeah. Okay. And it also seems like then we keep filling in the holes and changing it every time too. So our memories are false in some, in some, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you got to get the edges first. Yeah. Yeah. You got to get the edges. As long as you get the edges, everything else can,

can change a little bit. Aaron's like, I got to keep this thing about puzzles or I'm going to lose track. Nathan Rogers. The fact that Nate is instinctively chooses to bring Bates for nothing other than his great memory is not unlike having a C&I dog. Comedic gold. I must know if you put a service vest on him while he's working. Don't touch him. He's remembering stuff for me right now. That's very funny. That's very funny. That's almost irritating that a regular person wrote that. That's so funny. Yeah. Yeah. It is. He is like a service dog.

Right before he said the vest, I was like, that was going to be my riff. And then he said it, and I was like, who is this guy? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nathan, you want to host the show? You want to meet the, we bring him in. He's then takes my spot. He's closing. Yeah. And they go, it's a Nathan. So it doesn't matter. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. I would think I would, if you, if I haven't remembered stuff, I wouldn't want a lot of stuff going on around him. No, you want to keep him sequestered. Yes.

Yeah, I wouldn't. If I saw too much promotion around him, I would be like, whoa. Like in SNL, if I looked up in the bleachers and he's kind of, you know, people are asking him questions. You want him in the back of your bus floating in fluid like a Matrix kind of thing. He's like, that's my memory battery, you know? I go, uh, Bates is on this weekend, but no one talked to him. I got some real important stuff I need.

I'm trying to remember. Yeah. And he's allowed to go anywhere you go, but you can't go where he goes. I could give you those rules. You would like that. Yeah. They do not like me. I mean, what is the storm of the century? Yeah, it's bad out there. Yeah, I don't know. I guess we've taken it out, but it's just bananas weather right now in Nashville. All right. Severe thunderstorm warning from now until the end of this podcast.

I thought you were saying from now until the end of time. Yeah. Because things are getting rough. Yeah. And we haven't even got the worst of it yet. All right. Prasanna Mahan. Prasanna Mahajan.

Mahajan. I've been waiting three weeks hoping someone will say it, but here it goes. Buffet style places like Panda Express, Subway, and Aaron's Stopping Ground Chipotle offers free samples. Insane. I don't know. I don't know. A free sample of Subway is the craziest thing I've ever heard.

I think Panda Express and Subway seems insane. I don't know. What sample of subway was the craziest thing I think Panda Express makes subway seems insane I don't know what they offering it so can I can I try the sweaty turkey before you put it in my sandwich? No glove The Panda Express I've seen yeah Chipotle I don't think I've thought about asking that'd be so weird. Well, it's such small. It's different ingredients We're gonna say let me try? Let me try that lettuce. Let me try a little of that corn. Let me try a grain of rice.

Yeah, it's tough. Give me a lick of that mayonnaise. The Subway is too much, man. I can't. It would be good to go to that brown avocado. Can I try the mayonnaise? You lick it and you go, all right, I'm out. If you wanna be the most hated person in a Chipotle,

ask for free samples and stuff. When that line's moving, you're just clogging it up. Panda Express though. That makes sense. That makes sense. I've done that. If you're like, yeah, can I try the orange chicken? And that's like a real try. That was a big one. I think in food courts, you could go in and just, you could go to different food courts and go, let me try this and take one toothpick of whatever. They would be offering it. Okay. They're out there trying to, they're barking essentially.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Grace Prizuara. Oh man. I think you got it.

Prizuara. Prizuara. There's actually a connection between the 30 minutes of Netflix browsing and ice cream samples. Studies show people are happier with less choices. There's decision, paralyzed, regret, and always feeling like something better was out there. Man, I live this life every day. Decision fatigue is my nightmare. It is the most exhausting thing. You've talked about this before, wanting to bring your

wardrobe down to like just one shirt and one pair of pants. You can't even do it because of the decisions it would take to do that. It's I have major decision fatigue. I mean, that's why I try to have so much stuff being like, what is being asked? Because it's you think, do you like where are you eating? What time are you eating? You know, what are you going to wear you like where are you eating? What time are you eating? You know, what are you gonna wear today? What are you gonna wear? Like it's I mean, it's

Exhausting and so like you do you want to go into something and just go like just tell me what you have and I'll deal With it. You need a memory baits, but for decisions. Yes, you think a decision bait I was just I wasn't here thinking about the first time you told me your theory of wanting just to wear the same outfit. We were, you had just watched the documentary about NWA and Dr. Dre wears the same thing every time. And we were hiking Mount Rainier. Oh yeah. And you told me, I don't know why Mount Rainier, of all places, you were telling me this, but you were like, I just want to wear the same thing every time. And here we are eight years later. Not doing it. Not doing it. But I still want to do it. Well, he is a doctor. Yeah. So I do want to, I want to do it. It's some of it's the hard part of doing it. Sometimes it's people in your life don't let you really do it. Like I'm not blaming

them, but it's not like... Does that make sense? Yeah. When you bring it up to your wife, your wife's not like, let's go for it. Yeah. It's kind of like, well, and everything... And if you really got into it, you would be... Everybody would be like, well, let's think about this. And so then once you get talked out of it, you go, oh, that happens with, I think, dieting or, you know, where you're like, what if I go on no carbs? go, oh, that's happens with, I think, dieting or, you know, where

you're like, what if I go on no carbs? It's like, that's good. No carbs is no good. But you do need some carbs and you like can complicate it a little bit. So then you go like, well, then I don't know. Now I'm confused. Yeah. And then I, then you're frustrated and you make a decision to go eat bad food. When I like, I mean, I do that a lot like that had that with food where it's you know It's like I get so worked up And then I don't know what to go do and well all I know is McDonald's and so then I'm like just go there I know what that's gonna be yeah, and so I don't want to have to decide But you have to decide a McDonald's don't you or you can eat the number one no audience

I mean, but yeah, but like, even if you have to decide there, it's like, it's small decisions, but it's, yeah, it would, I love you. It's also fun. It's fun decisions. And there's no bad decisions at McDonald's either. That's true. You know what?

I did it on my bus now. I got very limited outfits, like for around their arena. You could also get shirts that just, you know, I got very limited outfits like for around their arena. You could also get shirts that just, you know, do the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, they just embroidered across the chest, Monday, Tuesday, and then, you know, they're different colors for your wife, but then they have the days of the week. And then when you talk to people,

now they know what day of the week it is without having to ask. Yes. Oh. So you're helping people. And avoiding small talk. Yes. Oh. So you're helping people. And avoiding small talk. Except for you. Here you go. Yeah.

Because how many times do you go, what do you know what I mean? What day of the week is it? Again, again. Just unzip your jacket. Typical Tuesday getting pounded with days of the week. Robert Fowler. That reminds me of Seinfeld. Wasn't that guy's name something Fowler? Oh, Jim Fowler?

Jim Fowler. Where are the cameras? Yeah, the guy from the zoo that was on Johnny Carson all the time. You remember him? Oh yeah, I do not. I don't remember him. You remember him before my time.. Must be before my time. Our time is the same time. What? I grew up and still live in Midland, Texas where the Baby Jessica incident took place. Remember Baby Jessica?

Of course. Yeah. Growing up, we heard all about the heroism. The heroine. Yeah, well that's how you get down there. Growing up, we heard all about the heroism. The heroine. Yeah, well that's how you get down there. Growing up we heard all about the heroism of the... that was like something got... Yeah. I don't think we're supposed to talk about her. Are you supposed to be talking with electronics inside of... We got surge protectors, we're fine. Yeah. Yeah.

Are we? Because that... Did you hear the crackling or was that in my head? The headline would be, Nate Barghetti and three others die horribly. Or four or whatever. I don't even care. How do we get mentioned? You get left out of the count. Nate Barghetti, threeians, and somebody else.

And Brian Bates. Hold on. And Brian Bates. Is my car... Your windows are down? No. My top's down, though. I just keep moving the worst.

There he goes. People don't know you drive around Nashville with a top down and sunglasses on everywhere now. Everywhere. Everywhere. No matter rain or shine. down and sunglasses on everywhere now. Everywhere. No matter rain or shine. And you got that personalized horn. Yeah.

All right. I think we're fine. It sounds fine. Let's see. Yeah, sorry. Yeah. If for some reason a lot of this gets taken out and you're confused, there is a major thing.

So I'll just start it again. Robert Fowler. I grew up and still live in Midland, Texas, where the Baby Jessica incident took place. Growing up, we heard all about the heroism of the first responders and firemen who assisted in rescuing Baby Jessica, but never understood its impact on the country

until later on. Nate and Killabee Bates recounting it and remembering details really puts into perspective just how big of an event it was and its significance to our community almost 40 years later. Yeah, she's March 26th birthday, day after me. March 25th. She's 39.

Yeah. Where is she? She's out there. She's out there. This was 1987. Man. I remember it like it was yesterday. Oh man. I remember. Really? Oh, I was looking out for Wells left and right and I lived in downtown San Francisco and I was like, there's probably Wells around every corner. Does this show me people like watched it or anything? Like if you could see the numbers on that where it's. It was all like local news stuff. So I guess it'd be hard to track that. USA Today ranked this girl as number 22 on its list of 25 lives of indelible impact.

I mean, it was that big of a story. What does indelible mean? Can't be removed like permanent. Like the Sharpie on Greg's hand. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like you Greg's hand. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like you just always remember.

Yeah. I wonder what, yeah, that's it. Balloon boy probably on there. Let's do the whole list. Was baby Jessica, was it a story before they knew she was in a well? Was it like a search for her or was it? No, no.

We know she's in a well. I think it was out of the well. Do you know how she fell in that well? Did somebody push her in or it was an accident? She didn't in a well. Do you know how she fell in that well? Did somebody push her in or was it was an accident? She didn't see that well. Nice. Right? I'm doing comedy now, guys. If you're listening, that's Greg Garcia.

Yeah, Greg Garcia doing stand up comedy. You were being so quiet. And now I know why. You were waiting for the right time. Yeah. I hope they get into some Baby Jessica stuff. I wrote that comment. Yeah. This has been three months in the making. Yeah, you know, I hope they get into some baby Jessica stuff. Oh, I wrote that comment This has been three months in the

Making Robert Fowler Did we ever reading your comments? No, you didn't I would send in some comments debates just to see if he would read them But I don't even remember. I think my name was Clem Dickleberry or something like that But you never you never read No, you never read them. A good test of the memory thing that we were talking about before, the way I remember it is that Jessica, there wasn't a search before that.

They found that she was in there and then the extraction took so long for some reason that it was news for a couple of days. That's how I remember it. I don't know if that's really how it went down. Yeah, they got her like. Because memory is a puzzle. Yes. Yeah, she was down there.

Yeah, I mean, it's... And she was the missing piece. How did she survive the fall? And then why did it take so long to just go down there and get her? Do you remember? It was the 80s. I'll tell you what, if you read this one thing, it goes, a roofing contractor, Ron Short,

volunteered to go down the shaft. He had been born without collar bones and could collapse his shoulders to work in tight confines. The team considered his offer, but ultimately said, we can't have you do it. I think I'm going to be sick. I mean, that's not funny, but it is funny. It's just a guy, he goes, this is why I was put on earth. I know. And they not funny, but it is funny. Like, it's just a, like, I mean, just a guy, he goes, this is why I was put on earth.

And they're like, no, and he's like, but uh... He raises his hand, can he even raise his hand? He doesn't have collar bones. I know, he's got... Someone else has got his hand up, someone else holds his hand up, and they go, you, sir, in the back. They go, is that Joe DeRosa?

Yeah. They go, uh, yes, sir, in the back. Yeah, I have no collar bones, and I could go down there pretty easy and come right back up. And they go, all right, well that's another, all right, now we're losing some of the cameras onto that guy who wants to interview him

about no collarbones. Does anybody have no collarbones and no ribs? Some guys are like, I do. Dang it. He's been wearing the same sweater his whole life. He just can't get it off. He can't get it off. He just can't. That's crazy. life. You just can't get it off

Kyle Gray, does being a stand-up comic help with the mental part of golf, being solo on a course with thousands of people staring at you versus the other athletes who have people watching them all the time, but play a team sport? Yeah, I think it helps with when you do it and you hit, like, I mean, I'm sure I'm, I would imagine I'm not as nervous. I mean, you're still nervous, but not as nervous as someone that like, you know,

even if you're in movies and TV, that, uh, you don't play in front of people. I'd imagine. Cause we, every night you're in front of a lot of people. I would think that especially with you in golf. I mean, I think there's a certain amount of nerves just hitting the golf ball anyway of just wanting to do it well. And I can't see you being extra nervous

or worried that people are watching. No. But you noticed this weekend that it's very easy to get in my head because all he had to say was like, this one's for birdie. And then I was a wreck. I missed like two footers. I'd say I get nervous if the group behind me is a little too close. I can feel them watching me. Yeah.

Well, I, I used to be very nervous about that. Like, uh, I don't even want my group to watch. Yeah. I, the, the, uh, the, we played at Florida State's course this weekend and the guy was trying, he said he wanted to invite you down. Have you come play it? Really? Well, I mean, kind of.

Nah, but he did mention you. He sent hats. Yeah, he said he sent hats. That's what it was. He's like, you're sending it to Bates even. And then I was like, you don't want Bates down here playing. I go, you know, but no, they were all, he was an awesome dude. But they're, yeah, I don't think, the first T year is really the one.

That day with Barkley and then, because there's a lot of people watching that, that first T is like, yeah, you're a little. You're feeling it. You're feeling it. No, there was a big load off once you got, once you were out there in the fairway and stuff. Because we saw some people just that last day.

Yeah, Colin Jost. Poor Colin. I mean, yeah, he hit one. I mean, and you just hit it, he hit it as bad as you could. It just goes straight into like a bush. Just rough, rough, rough. And everybody's watching. Yeah, it's rough. rough, rough. And everybody's watching. Yeah.

It's rough. It's crazy. I mean, it is truly embarrassing to just be just. And then you had to, that poor guy had to go home to Scarlett Johansson. I hope he's okay. He just can't win. I was thinking about Aaron and I's competition. Some of these nice courses like where you play,

you couldn't just throw it and get it over, there's rough in front before you get to the fairway. I'd get it over. He thinks he can throw a golf ball full length of a baseball field. Really? Yeah. On a roll, not carry, but it would roll.

350 feet? Yeah, but it would roll. I could see you doing that. Acuna had an unbelievable throw that went viral this weekend, and it was the longest recorded throw of the year, I think, and it was 100 yards. So some people were tweeting at me going, you still think you can throw it 100 yards? But I'm saying not carry, but I can get a roll going

and I can get it 100 yards. So the competition is you play golf and he just throws the ball? Yeah. And you play 18 holes? Yeah. That'd be fun to watch. That would be fun to watch.

We gotta figure it out. And then who pays for your rotator cuff surgery afterwards? The loser? I think we could get this set up easily. Maybe do nine holes and we'll shoot it and edit it down to about a minute. If that. Yeah. But out at Legends, there's like some par threes Maybe we do nine holes and we shoot it and edit it down to about a minute. Yeah. But out at legends, there's like some par threes that it's 150 yards to the, clear the rough.

Yeah. Yeah. There's one that, yeah, you'd be in big trouble. There's a hole that's 160 and it's straight over, like all this tall grass. We playing from the women's sees? You'd have to lay up. No, but there is really no place to lay up is the problem. You would almost have to throw it in the water on purpose. Take the penalty. To get to the spot to then throw it.

So right there, you're at like three, like that's gonna be tough. Cause it's a hundred, but that means 160 yards and there's nowhere to throw it. So Brian's got his driver out. Yeah. I'm going to go in the water as well. Yeah. It would almost be, it's a whole day. We could go see if you could throw, uh, if you could, you could literally throw it to, oh, we're going to the, you know what? Yeah. Wonder if we can get, we're going to the brewer's game. Yeah. Yeah.

Dude, we might be able to do it this weekend. Should I bring a golf ball with us? Yeah, I think we have some. You gotta bring one. You gotta bring one. I bet. I meant to the game. So yeah, I'm in Milwaukee, we're in Saginaw, Milwaukee. St. Paul.

Yeah, Minneapolis, St. Paul. And it's Sunday, we're somewhere, right? There is it, Sunday too. You're in Milwaukee two days, St. Paul two days. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, but is St. Paul Sunday? Yeah.

Okay. Yeah, very pumped about these shows. And yes, that's right. But we're going to the game, uh, in Milwaukee on Friday. It's a 3pm game. Are you proposing that he throws a golf ball from home plate? I think he can. I think it would be more interesting if you sat in the outfield in the first row

of the seats and during the game, tried to throw it to home plate. Yeah. Yeah. Just at some point. You know what you pick? You're going to get plate. Yeah. Yeah. Just at some point. You know what you pick. You're going to get more coverage though. You're the one that's out of your mind with things that can do this.

I'll feel it out. You better warm your arm up. Cause I think we're going to get there early enough that we go like, Hey, do you mind if my buddy sees if he can throw a golf ball all the way to the fence? I don't think it's that crazy. I'm talking including the role. Whatever.

Yeah. Are you going to do it? Yeah, 100% I'll do it right now, dude. Yeah. Well, take it easy. But there's that one where you can race that guy, the freeze or whatever. And so this could be like that. You should do it against one of the players. Now, I do think the freeze could beat me in a race. I want to put that out there. All right. Yeah. Ellen Mitchell, Nate's pronunciation is so much better when reading comments. I missed the inaccuracies because they were laugh out loud funny. I'm guessing you've been working on it and good for you. I've done nothing for it. No, as a guy who sat next to you at a restaurant

and watched you try to pronounce charcuterie board, I can promise you, that's 10 minutes I won't get back. Yeah, I'll take the char-tood-er-y. Oh, it works. I said like char-toody. It was very funny too, because I was like, you know, we just got done golfing all day,

and they had a, the menu was like all like burgers and fries, all stuff I like, but it was like, it's hot, you know, we just got done golfing all day and we were, they had a, the menu was like all like burgers and fries, all stuff I like. But he was like, it's, it's hot. You know? And I was like, I just didn't want that. And all they had was like a char to char tootery board. Anyway, they brought out a cranberry sauce. Yeah. So they brought, so I go, you know what?

I'll just take the char tootery board. If I say it fast enough, this is the same place the year before where the year before, where the year before we were there, he was ordering and he's talked about this on SNL. He, he was, I ordered a pizza. Oh no, I ordered a burger and then he ordered pizza, but he said, Hey, I'm going to get the pepperoni pizza. Um, but I don't want a lot of olive oil on it. And the guy's like, what?

And he's like, if you're going to put a lot of olive oil, I just, and he goes, do you want no olive oil? And he goes, if the choice is a lot or none, I will take none. Cause like, fine. And then I looked at the menu and I looked over, I said, Hey, moron, did you think it's a lot because it says extra virgin olive oil? He's like, yeah, extra. It says it right there.

Extra. I thought, why would they put extra? It didn't make sense that at that moment, I, at the extra, it says it right there, extra. I thought, why would they put extra? It didn't make sense that at that moment, in that moment I thought, why would you even, why would you- You wanted regular amount of virgin olive oil. You should be at regular and I shouldn't even have to do your job.

But you're starting at extra, which I don't even know if I wanted. And so I think I asked for a little, I want to get a little Virgin Olive Oil, not, you know. And then to your credit, you just kind of smirked and said, that's going in the act. Yeah. Yeah. And so they bring out this charcuterie board

and it's giant. It's giant, dude. It's for, obviously, what they're for. It's like a conference room. Yeah, yeah. It's like he's hosted a party. Yeah, it's the biggest thing you've ever seen. Everybody's got burgers and fries and then-

And it's on a tree trunk. It's on like a cut tree trunk. He goes to put it in the middle and go, oh no, that's his. Yeah. It looked insane. But I enjoyed it. Yeah.

Martha McDevitt, I've heard of other comics that start off very funny, I've heard other comics that start off very funny where audiences can relate because it's a shared experience, et cetera. But as they become more successful slash famous, their material is less relatable. Is it harder to find everyday stories

I'll take this one no it's not Martha well there you go there you go that's the answer yep I'm very self-conscious about it so this the hour I'm doing now actually wrote it because I'm just you kind of guess weird but I think about it. So this, the hour I'm doing now, I actually wrote it because I'm, you kind of guess weird, but I think about it this much. I actually kind of made sure I wrote it because I figured I would be shooting a movie. I just felt like my life was going to get very busy and there's gonna be a lot of stuff. And so I kind of made sure I had it ready before the movie or any of that stuff because I don't want to just be up, I don't want to be up there talking about. You know how when you're on a movie set. Yeah things can get crazy, right?

Yeah, they don't know the water you want some yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, so I I'm very very conscious of this and I don't ever want to go Do it and the other thing is I talk about my family and I talk about My kind of stuff I end up talking more about my family because that's gonna be stuff that everybody can relate to. And they're not doing better. Yeah. So they're still relatable. Yeah, that's a good point.

My relatable family. You're the one getting somewhere. Yeah. So it is, but it's very true. It's something that you have to be aware of. And I'm very aware. I'm scared of it. Tony Herrmann, Heer-man. There is a major league baseball player named Greg Garcia who looks like he could be Nate's doppelganger. Ooh.

That's too weird. That is weird. Yeah, I'm very aware of this guy because as my career slowed down and his picked up, my mother's Google alerts for Greg Garcia were just this guy and she does not like him. She does all his stats. You know, he went three for four today. Yeah, she's just like enough, enough with this baseball player.

Yeah. I think he's doing well out there. Yeah. But how many Emmys has he won? He just lost to Brian for the regional Kentucky mid-south. Yeah. So none. So none really. Yeah. Great. Well, he got them there. Yeah. For the neighborhood Emmy. Looks like he's maybe done playing. I think he is done playing. I think he played for the Cardinals and then somewhere else. Yeah, Padres and then. Well, at least you don't know too much about him.

I know a lot about him. My mother fills me in, buddy. She lets me know what he's doing. Lance Dowdy. In the second season of Sprung, they should have breakfast escape at the beginning of the season, and they send Aaron to bring

him back because they don't want anyone to find out and panic the public. They don't even have to have lines. You just see them in the background causing mayhem. How about that? Well, a couple things. First of all, Lance, I mean, really should work in Hollywood knowing that they don't have to have lines. Like he already picked up on that, which is good.

Yeah, that would have been fantastic if they would have let me do a second season of Sprung. I would have brought these guys back for sure, but unfortunately that, but perhaps now that we have this idea, I'll go back and repitch it. So get the ball around. Feel free to use our names, Greg, if you need.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You have these guys on the show? What? You have these guys on the show? Well, thanks for watching my show. Yeah. They were in the pilot episode. They did they did a fantastic job air was in the trailer I was in the I was in the season finale

Yeah, check it out. Thanks for the support. It must still be on. It's on Amazon Prime. Alright. Yeah, lives forever. Alright.

Lives forever. Marshall Barker. I think we need a My Name is Earl reboot called My Dad's Name Was Earl. And Dusty can be one of those boys that's growing up in the trailer there with Earl's first wife and crab man. Great. Again, great idea.

Let's do it. Yeah. Call a studio, Marshall. Get somebody to back this with some money. And we did just have a 20th year anniversary party for My Name Is Earl at my house like three weeks ago. Whole cast came, a lot of the side characters, all the writers, crew, everybody, it was a lot of fun.

You're still close with a lot of those guys? Yeah, I keep in touch with most of them. I keep in touch with, quite frankly, Ethan Supplee and Eddie Steeples who played crab man. I probably see them the most. But yeah, we all went to dinner the night before, just the cast and I, and we had a great time It was a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun. Yeah, just yeah, it's the best

Like you'd be cuz it'd be like how long was it four years, right? Four years. We did the show for four years It just would be it's like I mean every hour of every day for those four years. Yeah Exactly. Yeah and the cast and crew and everybody becomes such I mean, you know from just doing a movie now and think of that for four years with those people. I mean, people become a family, you know, so it's great to catch up with people. Some people still work in the business. Some people I have worked with. Some people I haven't seen. Some people have just moved on to do other things, but it's great to catch up with everybody. Yeah. Yeah. All right.

That there is no moon yeah that's a different so what is it a hole in the sky no he's joking about that oh okay i mean you know what percentage of americans are in insane asylums like how close is that number well

it's funny you should ask that that'll be my first grain tidbit the word moon in in Roman language got what a Roman speak Latin Latin excuse me I would never guess that I would have said Roman Nisqy is Luna Luna lunatic the the way don't get ahead of me I'm sorry the moon's the lunar don't know stuff but when there's'm sorry. The moon's the lunar. Don't know stuff. But when there's a full moon, there's more crazy people supposedly. So that's where the word lunatic comes from. All right, there you go.

To this day, crime rates go up when there's a full moon. There are all kinds of problems. Hospital admissions go up when there's a full moon. Allegedly, they say poll after poll shows that's not true. But dang. You said it was some authority though. Yeah, I mean, I believed you. They say poll after poll shows. That's not true. But Yeah, yeah, I mean I believed you think crime would be down because it's less dark but you got more you can seem Oh, wait, it is less dark. Yeah, you got more you got just the perfect amount of light to commit crimes Don't eat a flashlight

Yeah, no, I think that you know, if you saw someone in in full moon you'd be like you couldn't really describe them Like if you were eyewitness, yeah, what do you look like? I don't know. It was a full moon It was a full moon. So it wasn't and you'd be like like I kind of know it's like seeing black and white Like you would just be like and take the shape of them. I Just watched I'll draw a shape. That's what the- That doesn't help, I'll give you a silhouette. Yeah, might help though.

Might have a unique shape. And they go, that kind of looks like a wolf. And you go, maybe it was a, maybe it was a werewolf. Maybe. And that's- Full moon. You can see all these things could happen. It's pretty obvious.

I just watched that Netflix documentary about Ben Laden. Did you guys know that. But they waited to go in when there was no full moon or not, I guess the new moon when there was. Yeah, when there's almost no moon. Yeah. Why was that just for more darkness? Yeah, just for more darkness.

More cover, yeah. So July 20th, which yesterday was when Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, 1960, you and I just missed it. Yeah, just missed it. Dog gone it. Did you? It's crazy for y'all to be alive and there's just, like it is funny how it's a,

how much did y'all miss it by? I missed it by a year. I'm older than Brian. One year before you were born, you went to the moon and you're here. Yeah, and I'm here. Still alive. Hanging on, barely hanging on.

But it's kind of crazy how that was so recent ago. And just to be like where we're at now. But you like to point out how old I am, but yet this greatest human achievement, as many people say, happened even before I was born. Most people still are Armstrong. Is he still, he died, right? He died, but Buzz Aldrin, who was with him, is still alive. Yeah, that's crazy.

That's crazy. I'm sure I just killed him off now, but. Oh, man. Oh, no. That's, someone gets. We should send flowers. Yeah, someone get to Buzz and tell him to. The Pope called him yesterday.

Called Buzz Aldrin yesterday? Just to say what's up? On the anniversary of the walking on the moon, he called him just to talk about how it was such an incredible thing and I don't know what all they talked about, but imagine if the Pope speaks English. Every year, he's got to get on the phone. Hello. How was the moon landing? It was great. You know, it's been 80 years.

I've done a lot since then. Nobody wants to talk about the rest of it. Yeah, he goes, I don't know. It was like, it felt like moon like. And we bounced around and yeah, and it was cool. And everybody did it. I mean, every Pope, every president, every, hello, hi, this is Ronald Reagan. How was the moon?

Ah, it was good, man. You want to talk about something else? You know, I think it'd be frustrating. Yeah. If you're Buzz Aldrin, yesterday you had a good talk about the moon. You know you have to. Do you remember, cause when you were, so you missed it,

the first one by a year, but when you're a child, we were still going back to the moon for a little bit, right? Do you remember? The last one was 1972. Oh, they did all of those in three years. Yeah, they were going like three times a year. And then they were like, we got it. Yeah, nothing more to see. Never go back. Basically, it was a space race with Russia or Soviet Union and they were winning everything ahead of us. But then we beat them to the moon. They never went. We beat them to the moon and then we beat them in hockey.

And then they tore the wall down. And we won. Well, we also beat them in boxing in 1984 with Rocky. But do you remember learning about, was it still a big deal? He was it talked about a lot? I don't think it was in their books yet. That's true. Yeah. No, I think it was books they had, didn't have the moon stuff in it. They just, it just happened. We still had tablets. Most of it was just tablets. It was an insert. Yeah.

Uh, I don't, I think everything. No, I mean, I was two when they stopped, so I don't know. I don't remember. By the time I was in school, I think they had all the facts down. I don't think it was like new stuff. Were you into space as a kid? Sure. Yeah.

You wanted to be an astronaut? It is fun. They might've been, they were in one of the first, they would've read one of the first history books that had moon stuff in it though. I guess that's true. By the time you got to middle school or high school, yeah. The equivalent for us, because we were born in 79,

is disco. Disco was over right when we were born. So we just started reading it in textbooks like when we were young about disco. So which one's cooler? I don't know. Both kind of the same thing. Disco, ball. They go together real good. Yeah. Yeah, so

John F Kennedy said in 1961 he wanted to land a man on the moon before the decade was over and they did it July 1969 They did it got in there. How close were we when he said that like were we even working on it? Or was he now was that's a really like right there, you? You know Nas is watching like come on dude we're not even started yet. I think we're in Venus. We're like we're in Venus. Some guy in NASA is just eating a donut and he's just like what did he say? What did he say? Or he knew that they were almost all the way there and then he was like, I say we should go to the moon. Yeah, that would be. I looked up, cause we're going back next year.

To the moon. Yeah. Okay. Next year we're going, now they keep getting delayed, but NASA is gonna go around the moon, send astronauts around the moon in 2026 and then land on the moon in 2027. That's the plan.

And we haven't landed since 1972? Right. Wow. Have we landed other stuff? Do you know we sent like rovers or anything up there? Oh yeah, yeah. I think a lot of countries have done that. Yeah. I mean it's a junkyard up there. It probably is. It probably is, yeah. We have to leave that stuff up there. Yeah. So I looked up some like Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos thing where people go up. That's 62 miles up. Okay. To go. Is where the moon's at? No, no, no. Blue Origin. The moon's a little farther than that. Bezos is rocking. It's about 240,000 miles. Alright, you're killing my stories here. Oh, sorry. Well, Aaron gave the punchline. Oh, I'm sorry. Anyway, 62 miles up in Blue Warjet,

it's 250 miles to the International Space Station. It's 240,000 miles to the moon. Oh, wow. And that was the- I didn't hear what Aaron said, so do your joke. Yeah, no, I think there was no, I don't know, he doesn't know what a punchline is. No, no.

Damn. What are you, there were, I ruined the reveal. You ruined the reveal, yeah, I'm sorry about that. I asked Brian this. The reveal, yes. I asked Brian this before the podcast, but if you had to guess, let's say we take a piece of paper, normal piece of paper, it's an infinitely large piece of paper

that you can fold in half forever. How many times would you have to fold a piece of paper in half for it to get to the moon? 240,000. Well, that's a- I guess a trillion. That's actually, yeah. Is I don't care.

This brings back old memories of podcasts back in the- That seems like, why would anybody ever wanna talk about this? Well, it's just, I think it's fascinating. Also, I think the science behind it is no matter how big a piece of paper is or how little, you can only fold it in half so many times. Right.

We also couldn't fold a piece of paper to the moon. So it's like a theoretical. Okay. You know, but it's zero or one or infinity. Just think which one is it doubles. It doubles in thickness every time you fold it in half. How many times would you have to do that before it goes from here to the moon? So how many times is it? But just guess because you're going to be blown away

by the answer. Okay, trillion. So I guess what I said. My real guess is a hundred. Okay. A trillion and a hundred. We've got a pretty big range. Yeah. Someone's going to be right, someone's going to be wrong. This is the showcase showdown on Price is Right. That's right. Yeah. That's known as the Bates McCMcCullough window. 42. I was a lot closer. But you still overbid. So you're almost. You fold that piece of paper 42 times in half,

it will be as thick as from here to the moon. Mm-hmm. 240,000 miles. Because it doubles every time. Mm-hmm. 42 times. What paper? This regular paper? No, no, no.

That piece of paper. Yeah. No, this paper. A regular 0.1 millimeter thick paper. If you were to fold that in half 42 times, If I fold it like this. It will get to the moon. So this, that's folding. So that's one fold.

It's doubled in thickness now. So if you fold it again, it will double again. It will double all the way to the moon if you do it 42 times. Let me give it to you in numbers so you understand how fast this happens. Yeah, two four eight 16 32 64 128

200 so within like five folds you're already at 200 and something Yeah, it's annoying the math point one millimeters times two to the 40 second I don't eat 200 you actually you're gonna overshoot the moon. You're going too far. Yeah, it would get you a punch in the face for doing something like this to somebody. Yeah, but that's what it'll get you. Yeah, 83 times will get you out of the Milky Way.

Somewhere around 30, you really gotta use your foot to get that folded, I mean, that's tough. Bates, what was the miles to the moon? 240,000. Okay, how crazy is that? It's 240,000 miles to the moon, and it's $240,000 for an Oscar full of gold. Yeah. How about that?

What is going on? I don't know if I believe this piece of paper cannot be folded. It's physically impossible, though. That's the problem. It was a big piece of paper though. That's the part that convenient. It was really big, you could.

It's just a math problem that if you start it. Somebody's like, how are you getting to the moon? Rocket, how are you getting to the moon? I'm folding a piece of paper till I get there. 0.1 millimeters thick, that's the average thickness. And then how big and long is it? Infinite. It would have to be infinitely big for you to be able to keep folding it in half obviously.

So it's a thought experiment but it's a math problem. That's a dumb. He's not a thought experiment kind of guy. He's like, well what about this piece? And it's like, here's the last part. I'm a solver. To get to the end of the observable universe, 103 times. That's it? That's all you have to do. What was your guess? A trillion? A trillion, okay.

Yeah. Well, he said it too. We both said it too. Yeah, well, I went with him. Yeah, well, he's your math baits. He does decisions, memory, and math. Yeah. I don't, like, what's the point of knowing that?

He thought that's fun? I think he read it and he thought- I don't know why, but I don't like why what's the point of knowing that? I think he read it. I don't know why but I guess the trillion and the correct nature is 42 That is fun, but it's I mean who's not having fun, but who? What's the I just don't know the point of even knowing that as a thing. I think who figures that out? Like who does that and then goes? People are gonna wanna know this. Is this what like, yeah, it's like, I've talked about this is what college is. This is what you missed out on.

Is it? Yeah. I think it is. Yeah. You are just like. There's some stuff like this. Yeah, you're just not, you're talking about nothing. And then you're, you know, and like, well, can you even- I find it interesting.

What? I find it interesting. On some level, it's the same conversation as who would win in a fight, Spider-Man or Batman. Those are the conversations we had at my college, Frostberg State University. Yeah, well, you could major in that. Yeah, it's like the 100 men versus an ape or something. It's like, it's that, it's that. Yeah it's like the hundred men versus an ape or something like that.

It's like it's that it's that so but like but that's dumb but this is but this is smart. But how come that's just an ape thing is like a bonehead's you're like you're like these idiots talking about these apes. Oh is he not into that one? No no I'm just in jitter. Yeah loved it too. But I mean that would that one is considered It's on social media. No one's really looking at it as like a smart question But then this you could bring up in the in a science and they would be like professors go Start applauding and you're like, well, there's no difference between that guy that figured that out in the ape guy But that's uh, you're just theorizing who would win this.

He says it's fact. Yeah. It's a math problem. There's a actual answer to it, but I just think it's crazy. That's a crazy few amount of times to get to the moon. That's the whole point. But if it's a paper that's infinite, then I could see it be 42. If it's so infinite, I can't imagine.

Yeah. One time would be the size of Manhattan. No, it'll just be that double thick. It'll be the same thickness as that. The same thickness, but larger. But how many, Google, how many times you can fold a piece of paper in half? There is an actual answer to that.

Yeah, which is way less than 42. It's like six or something crazy. So it all falls apart. Yeah. Seven or eight times. Yeah, that's it. That was so close. That's all you can do.

Why do I know this stuff? The world record is 12. Yeah. World record? By Brittany world record is 12. Yeah. World record? By Brittany Gallivan. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, that's where it all falls apart for me,

this whole theory. Toilet paper. She had toilet paper. It was 2002. It was a 1.2 kilometer long piece of toilet paper. Yeah, I think I just, I just like, if the paper is any size ever, then yeah, 42 times. Well, the idea is not to try this to get to the moon. It's just a fun math problem.

But the, but yeah, but it's just like, you know, it's like, well, the picture of the paper was the size of earth. Like, okay, then if you'd have told me that I get 42 times. Somebody said that. Somebody said, well, what if the toilet paper is a mile long? And then a bunch of people are like, let's, let's do it. Yeah. I don't have people like that in my life. No one's like, yeah, let's do it. But even they only got the 12. You just gotta do it. Yeah. I mean,

30 more times and you'll be at the moon. I didn't know what upset everybody at the table. I'm sorry about that. It really hit, you hit a lot of. I mean, we're out of time. It didn't upset. I think it's. Even the rain stopped. Yeah.

Yeah. The rain's like, I'm out of here. Yeah. Maybe if we were talking about paper and then we just said, how high would it be if we kept folding it? And then you throw out that fact. Maybe it'd be more interesting.

Yeah. Yeah, let's go back. Yeah. I think it's plenty interesting but we can move on. Yeah. All right, so do you know what Neil Armstrong said when he stepped foot on the moon? One small step for mankind. One giant step for mankind. No. No, one small step for man. Yes. One giant leap for mankind. Are you walking right into this, like it's not a trick question? Yeah. Oh, is it buzz?

Because it's the other one. It's the other one. No, no, no, it was Neil Armstrong that said it, but he was supposed to say it's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. He swears he said a, and it just got cut out from the transmission, but obviously that's not how we.

And I'm guessing Dusty would say, is that because the director in the soundstage told him that, what do you mean he was supposed to say? So it is a script. Because they did have conversations about it ahead of time, right? Yeah. Oh yeah. He didn't just do it off the dome.

That's fine. You know what, that would be like, that's exactly what it's like when someone tells you, when you gotta do like promo videos or you gotta do something, they go like, you know, just talk about this, but make it fun. And you're like, what do you want me to say? I don't know, because they think the comedian,

if anything, they can just throw it out and be like, hey, tell them to come to the, I can't even think of a good example, but it's like, whatever it is, you're like, make it fun. And then you're like, hey, tell them to come to the, I can't even think of a good example, but it's like, whatever it is, you're like, make it fun. And then you're like, so I gotta come up with all this stuff? And then that's like that, they go like, and right before you land on the moon,

come up with a saying that we can use forever. All right, I'll see. You know what would have been fun is if they hadn't planned it, what he would have said. Yeah. You know, like what he, he was like, oh, it's like, it's like chalk. Yeah.

Just like something stupid. We're higher than I thought. All right, let's go back. So he stepped out then Buzz Aldrin walked out 19 minutes later. He let him have it. He wanted to make sure. Why did they get a chew?

Did they? Neil Armstrong was the commander. There was a third guy, Michael Collins, who went with him as well, who did not get to land. He stayed, oh, he stayed. So there's the rocket that gets him out of space, then there's the command module, and then there's a lunar module that comes down on the moon.

Nerd alert. I only know this because I read it, but there was one guy that stayed up in the command module waiting for them to return. He never even went down to the moon. Right. Wow. You would think they would be like, let me come on. I'm already came out here.

Yeah. But okay, so he knew going into it. I'm not going to. Yeah, they know their roles. They didn't rock, paper, scissors up there. They didn't give a crap. Golly. That's at least, so I guess you could be like, it's nice to let Buzz Aldrin out.

Well, I mean, he was planned to go. Oh, yeah. But it was also nice of Buzz to give Neil 20 minutes on his own out there. Well, Buzz, Buzz was a Presbyterian elder and took communion before he went out. In the module? Yeah.

That's pretty cool. Yeah. They landed on Sunday. Wow. We landed on the moon, immediately performed a religious ceremony. Yep. Yeah.

Yep. You know what didn't know it was Sunday? The moon. Because they think it's Monday. Moon day. That's right. Do you know that's where they come from? Really? Sunday come from? Well, you can probably know that's where they come from? Really? Sunday. Come

from. Well, you can probably figure that out. I figured that part out. How about Tuesday? Well, after Tuesday. It's going to fall apart really quick. After Monday, then things get tougher. Yeah. I looked up the other, they're all just, you know, some God. Wednesday, it's windy out. Yeah. Yeah. Saturday is for Saturn. Okay. Okay. But the rest of my stuff I've never heard of. All right. Mm-hmm. But the word month comes from moon because the moon cycles 29 and a half days and that's how they would treat a month. Okay. That's pretty important. It's cool stuff it. 650 million people watch the moon landing. How many?

650 million. Oh, wow. Less than the MASH finale. Or was it more? I think it was probably more. This is worldwide. 94% of US households watch it. How many?

94%. Wow. So 6% were like, meh. I know. They watched My Name is Earl. Is there anything else that could get, right now could get 94% of American households to watch the same thing?

No. Because even the Super Bowl's not getting, not even close to 94% right? I mean. What would we have to do? If we land on Mars. No, no. You don't even think 94% is gonna watch Mars landing?

No. Why not? I think they're gonna, you're gonna see it when you go see it. You're gonna, it doesn't matter. Like you just see it in a clip or whatever. But like watch a live event, like to go do it. I don't think the Mars, I mean, it would, an alien,

if they said, but now you're in a world where no one's gonna believe it. So even if they go, we got an alien, you're gonna be like, I'm not watching it. It's AI. it's AI. It's AI, I mean, you know, it was like that, AI, I thought it was so crazy, it's been everywhere, the Coldplay concert

with that couple, did that. And have you seen all the different AI things where it shows them like talking? It's, we're seconds away from you just having no idea if something's real or not. So it's gonna be hard to get anybody, outer space definitely, because it's like that could be completely fake.

You might need a baby, like you would need a baby Jessica type thing. Girl trapped on a spaceship or something. Not in space. Okay. I'm saying it's gotta to be here like the balloon boy Like you're gonna have to have real I was gonna say the OJ verdict. Yeah. Yeah verdict. Yes, maybe you could give it

I don't know if it's gonna be 94% The verdict would have to be the president is between like the president's gonna go to like literal President that's yeah reading the verdict reading a verdict of to verdict to the president would be something that might pull that. Yeah. Yeah. And if it was live. Yeah. But I mean, I don't think now it's like, no one cares.

You see, you're still not going to get 94%. Yeah. No, people don't care. And like you said, you can just, they'll watch it later. Yeah. I don't know if we get the sprung to reboot with me and Brian. Yeah. Well, you'll be in the nineties.

You'll definitely be in the nineties. You'll definitely be in the nineties. Long as y'all don't talk. So, uh, so I'm not available. I good. Okay. It's fine. Uh, sprung was streaming, but your other shows were on network TV, right? Yeah. So you got ratings for them. Yes. And it's crazy because you look back at like what your ratings were for like a show, like Yes Dear, that was on between King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond. And the ratings are so huge because there was four channels and that was it. And they're giant ratings. It was probably like 19, 20 million.

And then they were like, oh, we'll see if you come back next year. It was insane. You get repeats that were getting like 14 million viewers. And it was just cause like I said, you didn't, you know, I think BC, you know, we had VCRs and stuff, but there wasn't TiVo. You couldn't like, if you wanted to watch it, you sat down and you watched it when it was on TV, that's it. That's it. So yeah, the numbers are ridiculous when you go when it was on TV. That's it. That's it.

So yeah, the numbers are ridiculous when you go back and look at it. That's another part of it. You're like back then you go, if I miss the moon landing, I may never get to see this. Exactly. Yeah. Wow. And then I would never think about that because you're like, they obviously can't anticipate a YouTube and stuff like that. No.

So you're like, I better see it when it happens. Yeah, you get one chance. But maybe you would see the news, we'd probably reshow it. But not, you know, not in whenever you want. Oh yeah. Yeah, maybe a sports something like an Olympic or like that kind of like thing, maybe.

Like if you have, you know. Maybe, like if you have, you know. A fight. A fight between like Messi and like, you know, like two, if two of the biggest athletes in the world. But the US is not gonna. But it would have to be an American. So it'd have to be like, you know, Tiger Woods or somebody fights Messi in a UFC.

People would, you're getting about in the seventies. I bet if even like Trump and Putin did a boxing match, it wouldn't get 94% though. The more I think about it, it's just so many people. It's a lot of people. Yeah. So that was the Apollo 11 crew that first sent me. By Apollo 14, they were taking golf clubs and chipping golf balls. They went from church to golf.

They got bored. They were bored that fast. Yeah, I mean, that's how bored, yeah. There's a video of the guy doing it. He says, I can't put both hands on the club because of my suit. So I'm just gonna try to do like a little, of a sand trap.

And then the first time he misses it. And then the second time, he says it goes for miles and miles, but I read that it went about 40 feet. But in theory, with little gravity, golf ball could go almost as far as Aaron could throw it. Almost. Yeah.

Yeah, there he is chipping. So it's not the best footage, but yeah. Yeah, it looks so real. Yeah, you can't even see me. I missed that one. I think he missed that one. Is that a six iron? I don't know.

That's the important part. The other guy back there doing work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's there's Greg with all those other clubs on the ground. Yeah, that's me. And by Apollo 15, 16, and 17, they taking a car up there and they're driving around. Yeah.

Did they say what kind of car? A lunar roving vehicle. Yeah, they didn't just take like a Pacer or something. No. I got you. No. That's what I was picturing for a second. So there's a car on the moon.

Oh, there it is. Is that real? Yeah. That looks fun. It does look fun. It does funny because it just does look like dirt. It's just dirt. It's funny that within 10 years, we were just hillbilly and on the moon.

Yeah. Yeah. Muddy. Just dune buggies. He's got a catfish on his arm. Yeah, and that's just still up there. That looks fun. There's no way we'd pack that thing back up. No, they're still up there. That looks fun. There's no way we pack that thing back up.

No, they're all still there. And all the flags. Is it true that all the flags are white now? Yep. Because they lost color with radiation and space. Yeah. We've planted six flags, six flags, five of them. Six flags should be marketing themselves.

Yeah. Yeah. That's a huge loss. They're going with the Looney Tunes characters, right? And you're like, there's Six Flags on the moon. I don't want to do your job for you, but maybe lean into that a little bit. They think five of them are still standing. The first one, they think got knocked over when they took off.

By the wind? How would it get knocked over when they took off. By the wind? How would it get knocked over? By the spaceship taking off to go home. All the wind? Teenagers. Even up there. So they collected 270 moon rocks all together and President Nixon gave them out to whoever he liked. Other countries, some states, things like that.

180 of them are still unaccounted for. People didn't know what to do with it. A lot of them just locked them away, throw them away. Throw them away, how do you throw a moon rock? You just throw it out the window. Yeah. Now it's a rock. Mm-hmm.

But there's like enthusiasts that are out there now still trying to track down these moon rocks, but most of them are, they don't know where they're at. So we plan on bringing some more back when we go to the moon in a couple of years, right? We have to be, it'd be crazy to not go. Maybe we should bring back something else that's not so, that doesn't blend in so much

with other stuff. I don't know if you have a lot up there. I guess when you're holding it and you're like, you know, it's gonna feel like a rock pretty soon. I had no idea we had footage like this. I've never seen this before. I have it either. Yeah, we don't know if this is. Yeah, it looks so good. Is that Arizona? So Greg and Umbrella up there. Yeah. Greg and Julian asked us last week. There was a Mars rock that sold at auction this week for I think it went for five million dollars

Really? Wow, I didn't know that they were worth so much 54 pounds. I had so many in high school My mom just threw them away Would you rather have a Mars rock in your home? You can't you can't sell it. I can't sell it or go to Myrtle Beach Or fight a hundred chimps well we combined two different questions all right so I got a I got a Mars rock it's worth a ton of money you can't sell it but it's a top four pounds everybody that comes over this rock put it on a pedestal put it in my living room it's the largest show it to you it's the largest Mars rock ever found on earth it represents seven percent of all Martian

material okay ever found on okay so that's pretty cool or free gas for life Free or free gas. I said cracker bell for life, but the Nate said free gas for life No, I'll take the I'll take the Mars rock. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about That's what it looks like. Yeah, I want that. I want that Mars rock for sure. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I'll put that in the house and people come by I'll say that's my Mars rock for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'll put that in the house and people come by. I'll say, that's my Mars rock. Yep. And then they'll like, can and then they'll be like, can I touch it?

And I'll be like, if you fill up my car with gas, you can touch it. There you go. There you go. So there you go. What about you, Julian? I love when I love people. There's always someone when you do a thought experiment that has to cheat the thought experiment to get both things and you're like, it's a type of

why are you going into business on this? Is that it? That's it right there. You know, it's funny, that's $5 million. If you did have it at your house and you go, hey, that's a rock from Mars, I'd go, cool. Yeah. And that's about- That's kind of what Nate said last week.

Exactly what Nate said. Yeah. And then you're like, I need gas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, what would I do? Would I want the rock or free gas? Free gas is gonna be much more of a conversation starter. I'm gonna go free gas.

This is like the 94% watching, there's just too much stuff going on now that you would, you know, someone would be way more intrigued to hear you got free. How you got free gas. Yeah, they go, they go, let me see, you get free gas, you go, I got a cart. Yeah, they go, how'd you. You get free gas, you go, I got a cart. Yeah, they go, how'd you do that?

And you go, I didn't take a rock. I'm really interested in the 6% that chose not to watch it. Do you think they just missed it or do you think they were like, I'm not interested in mankind's greatest achievement ever? I would say, I'm talking about the Mars thing though, is this $4 million though? Is it, you think someone's gonna spend,

how much money you think you're spending gas your life? Is it, it's not $4 million. Yeah, but you're not allowed to sell it, so. I know, but I'm saying so, oh, you're not allowed to sell it. All right, all right, all right. No, it's just to have the cool thing. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Well then, I mean, who's making you, who is alive that's making you, watching you going, you can't sell this. See this is again, we're getting into, it's not real. Yeah. Cause I, I mean, I came up with this, but I just thought if you could sell it, everybody would say, Oh, I'll take the Mars rock and sell it. Sure. Yeah. Right. Just money wise, it makes a lot more sense. Well, except for the person that bought it, they wouldn't sell it because they sell it. Sure, yeah. Right. Just money-wise, it makes a lot more sense. Well, except for the person that bought it. They wouldn't sell it, because they wanted it.

And I have an electric car, so that may have impacted my decision. Well, that was the thing that I didn't say, because I didn't want to be a hypocrite, but it's like, how much longer are we going to have gas? That's a good point. Yeah, I also have a free Burger King card, and I haven't used it in six years, so.

What? Because you work there. Yeah, so, you know, I don't know if I would use the gas card, bringing life to the next year. You have a what? You have a what? You have a free Burger King for life card? Yeah.

What? What? There's one right next door. There's one right next door. How did you get that? Whoppers on me, buddy. Yeah. He walked there.

I told this, I told this on here before, but yeah, but I worked there. I worked there during the writer's strike. And then you get. And then, well, I worked there during the writer's strike. I was doing, my name is Earl. And then they got a little press out of it. I won't tell the whole story,. And then you get- Well, I worked there during the writer's strike. I was doing My Name is Earl, and then they got a little press out of it. I won't tell the whole story,

but they got some press out of it. And then they gave me a free Burger King card for the rest of my life. Wow. Yeah, but I haven't used it that much. And you can get it whatever you want. Whatever you want. You can have it your way.

I can have it my way. No, there's no picture, my name's on it. So it's transferable? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or you could steal it from me. Yeah, there's no picture, my name's on it. So it's transferable? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or you could steal it from me. Yeah, it's gonna be confusing. They're gonna be like, what? Yeah, they don't, do they even know what it looks like?

I mean, if you show it to Burger King. No, I doubt they've seen a car like that. There's been some discussions. People get confused. Sometimes it's not worth it. It's confusing, it's confusing. But it is fun when I decide to buy stuff for everybody in line, because then some people get confused, but everybody's usually pretty It's confusing. But it is fun when I decide to buy stuff for everybody in line,

because then some people get confused, but everybody's usually pretty down with it. This is gonna sound like I'm messing with you, but I genuinely mean this. What I love about your look is that you look like a guy who could either have gotten a real one by creating a show, or you have a lab in your basement where you would make that card.

You look equally like you would do either thing. That's great. I'm in, I'm more impressed that you think I could make a plastic card in my basement than a TV show. So I take both of those as a compliment. The moon is moving away from us at about an inch and a half per year. Everybody is now, you know, it's about the same speed at which our fingernails grow. Really? Yeah. They grow pretty quick. Are we worried about that? You know? It's about the same speed at which our fingernails grow. Really? Yeah.

They grow pretty quick. Are we worried about that? Yep, in billions of years, it's probably gonna really mess us up. Let's act on it now. Let's pull it back. Yeah. Because the tides and things, you know,

are affected by the moon. Oh, so the water is just gonna be out there. It's gonna go crazy. Yeah, where's the water gonna go? But if it happens that gradually, we'll be all right. But eventually it's just Well, we won't be here. But Earth will might be here. Yeah, we'll be we'll be somewhere else. We'll be but the earth it'll be it'll be gradually going back. And then so it'll be just like, likestellar just a big wave Is this is this because the universe is expanding is that why?

It's part of that it's part of the big bang now first place No, I think it's just losing some words emotional. It just wants to it just wants to just wants to so it's time It's time. It's time. Yeah, I mean we were friends. You just left a bunch of crap on me And yeah, and I haven't seen you guys in 40 years and now it's time to go. I read if we didn't have a moon, we could still survive, but the seasons would all be different and the earth would spin faster because the moon's gravity. So a day would be like maybe eight hours.

Oh, wow. So people would live to a thousand years old. That'd be pretty cool. Let's get that mood out of here. That's how that works. A year would be different. The length of a year would be... Yeah, if days are eight hours. He's saying technically, you would live to thousands of years. Yeah, like if, I think if I was a day, that's a third of what a day is now, if it's eight hours. So if you live to a hundred, so 300, you could live to 300 years old. I think you're onto something.

I think we blow up the moon. Yeah. I mean, that's a lot of work. That's a lot more living we got. I like this. Yeah, makes sense to me. The moonwalk was perfected by Michael Jackson. The Motown 25 concert.

You remember this? Oh, I remember, people were blown away. I remember my neighbor coming over the next day. He was- He moonwalked over? No, he didn't moonwalk over. He was the father of a kid that I hung out with, but he couldn't stop talking about it.

He, that guy looked like he was going forwards and he was going backwards. He couldn't figure it out. Man, was he impressed. It was awesome. Craziest thing he's ever seen. Uh, I don't know who coined it. The moonwalk. Yeah.

I don't know who, like who came up. Cause that's a great, great name for that. If you saw that dance and you're like, can you name this? I would not come up with Moonwalk and it's perfect. It's kind of late in the performance area if you're trying to find it. It is, yeah, it's towards the end because it's basically the closer.

I mean, people were falling off their couches. They couldn't believe it. They didn't know what was happening. Yeah, I tell you what, Taylor Swift. Here we go. Yeah, I think this is it. Here he's picking up the pants. There it is. Here we go. Yeah, I think this is it. He's picking up the pants. There it is.

That's crazy. And it's isn't amazing how short it is, but in our collective imaginations, it was like across the whole stage and took two minutes. Did he announce that he was gonna do it? No. No, he just did it. And then I-

So that's how they knew just in that moment, they were like- Did he just moonwalk? Yeah. Yeah. How did they, how did they call it the moonwalk? I don't know. And we all practiced it. I figured it out and about, about, took me,

took me a couple of weeks. Show us. Can you still do it to this day? I could probably try to do it. Yeah. Cause I was a little bit of a break dancer at the age of 12 and 13. Yeah. I bought the Alfonso breaking board and had that, that you spin on your back and 13. Yeah. I bought the Alfonso breaking board and had that,

that you spin on your back and everything. Yeah. Yeah. That's Alfonso the guy from Alfonso Romero. Yeah. He was just at the golf tournament. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He had his own breaking board that you would buy on TV. He'd come on TV and it was just this piece of cardboard with his face on it and you'd put it down in your basement and then you could spin on your back on it and do tricks. Wow.

Yeah. Yeah. He does it one more time here, I'm pretty sure. There you go. Oh, there he is. There he goes. So people freaked out. I mean, they've never seen anything like this.

Oh, yeah. I was going to say, as big as Taylor Swift is now or whoever's the biggest star, I feel like Michael Jackson was just on a whole other level. Oh, it's not even close. I've had this conversation a few times not that long ago and Michael Jackson is by far the most famous person that's ever lived. More than Jesus? What about ticket sales? Yeah, what about ticket sales?

Was Michael Jackson doing stadiums? Yes. Haven't you ever seen clips of him in like Rio or like, see the thing is he was selling out stadiums in every country he could go to any country and sell out a stadium. Also you could go okay but also you could go find someone remote like in a tribe somewhere yeah and you'd go back then and you go Michael Jackson and they go yes moonwalk yeah but you but if you did that today there's plenty of people you could find and go Taylor Swift and they'd go, I don't know what that is. I'm not saying there's a ton, but I'm saying it wouldn't be that impossible to find somebody that doesn't know who Taylor Swift is.

But in the 80s, you could not find someone that didn't know who Michael Jackson was. I think he was more famous than Elvis. I think I would agree with that because Elvis didn't know. He also never left the country, which was I would agree with that. Die around the same age. Now. Yeah. Michael Jackson's a bit older.

He was in his 50s. Elvis like 45. Okay. I'm just saying like Elvis is the other one that you would think would be and I think Michael Jackson was even more famous. Yeah. You know, it's interesting though. It's like, it's hard for us to take ourselves out of it because of Michael Jackson.

But like, yeah, when we grew up, if you talk to people in 30 years and you go, Michael Jackson was more famous than they would be like, no, it wasn't. Taylor Swift. And then they go back and look at records, they're like, well, Taylor Swift broke all his records and all this kind of stuff. That stuff's too different, I think, in terms of like,

but here, let's look at it this way also. On the radio today, you still hear Michael Jackson four times a day. And when did those songs come out? 84, 85, or whatever, Thriller was 83, right? So that's 20, it's 40 years ago, right? 40 years from today, do you think you're gonna hear Taylor Swift four times on the radio?

I don't think so. Maybe, I don't know. I just said no. I don't know if you heard me, Aaron. Well, it will be, I think you will with tell you Swift I think she's like hard disagree I don't think there'll be a radio. Yeah, I was about to say the same thing The principle of it. Yeah, the song. Yeah, whatever we have. Yes on your on your brain Radio, I don't know title. Yeah, I think it'll be title. Let's be honest

I don't know. I think Yeah. It'll be title. Let's be honest. It's gonna be title. I think there, I could see you saying like, in sync, no one's gonna hear you. But like not Taylor Swift. I mean, people are in their 40s going to Taylor Swift and they know all her songs. Those people are not gonna not want to hear those songs. Her fans are her fans.

I agree. But I don't see two generations from now, people handing down Taylor Swift the same way that Michael Jackson has never left. He's never left the airwaves, he's never left the public consciousness, he's never left culture. Michael Jackson has been famous since he came out.

Since Thriller, he's been this famous and his fame hasn't really gone down even after he's died many years ago. And I don't see Taylor Swift having that kind of staying power. Interesting, we'll see. I'll talk to you in a few years. There's never been a year where

Michael Jackson wasn't everywhere. I think he, but I think he stayed on your radar with this radio you listen to. Like my kids, I don't think they could name a Michael Jackson song. But if they heard a Michael Jackson song, they go, I've heard that a million times because it's in every store. It's in every everywhere you go, you hear a Michael Jackson song.

Chase. Does this track chase? No, he knows thriller. Yeah. You're the youngest guy in the room. You got to be. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. We'll see. I think Taylor's was already been handed down a generation from original fans. I agree. You're watching it in real time. I agree. I agree with that. Whereas the moms brought all the daughters and they just went and did it. Totally. But I also would argue that, so, well, okay. I

mean, I'm not going to, first of all, I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm just saying, I'm just arguing what's real. And- Yeah, you're on the side of truth. I'm on the side of truth. No, I get you. And you guys are on the side of Swift. I get you. And that's fine. Yeah.

That's fine. Yeah. I see what you're, I get like what is, Michael Jackson- I'll go this far. It's almost like fame. I think you're crazy to think that they're even close. That's how much more I think Michael Jackson has. There's name calling involved.

Left an imprint. That's interesting. This is what Michael Jackson fans do. No, it wasn't a name calling. It was a description. You think. Name calling would be. What about Taylor Swift and Elton John?

That's closer. It's closer. But Elton John, you still hear Elton John's talks and Elton John's, but I could see those being similar. But Elton John was nowhere near Michael Jackson. Yeah, I guess I would see the Michael Jackson aspect of, you know, it's like, it was almost like, it's TV was around. So it's like a fame that just, were just it's a right time right place like in this kind of yeah I'm not saying it's because Michael Jackson Necessarily or whatever deserved it, but it's the the storm of the way media worked at that time Plus him being who he was came together and made what I think will be the most famous person

Yeah I wonder if to it plays into the fact that there's just so much overexposure now that the Taylor, it's almost impossible not to, because you're just around too much. I would argue that too. Remember, he was that famous when we had nothing, there wasn't a whole lot else. 94% of the people watched the moon.

Right, exactly. And that same similar effect happened with Michael Jackson in the 80s. With Taylor Swift. I mean, you've got so many people, there's so many avenues to go down. I mean, I know I can only name maybe three Taylor Swift songs by name. Right. And I'm not like against her or anything. I just don't know. But like, I feel like the average person when because she's big right now.

Right. The average person in the 80s, like could name every Michael Jackson hit the average person on the street. If you stop them and you go name three Michael Jackson songs, everyone could do it in 1985. I don't think if we walk down the street right now, you would have the same experience or even close with Taylor Swift. I think Thriller is still the best selling album of all time. The Eagles greatest hits may have passed it, but I think it's been the best-selling album of all time for like 40 years. But even then with albums like how do you track this stuff anymore because of all the you know?

Yeah, right. I don't know how you do it. Thriller's number one. Yeah, 51.3 million certified copies. Yeah, but that's like you see on YouTube where something's got like 800 billion views and then you're like, I don't know Yeah, what's I mean Gangnam style? I remember that hit it. You know, I remember when that got a billion views first video You got a billion view. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and now we're like only a billion. Yeah, seriously Alright to be continued no Michael Jackson is the most fan Sorry, we we we're done All right, to be continued. No, Michael Jackson is the most famous. Sorry. We're done.
