Starting point is 00:03:49 They may do something at Zany's, I think, after Brian's show. Oh, cool. Which has already happened. Yeah. By the time this comes out, but, so I just won't be here. My wife will be here.
Starting point is 00:04:00 I'm gonna be mad if I don't have a lot of people and then there's a lot out the door afterwards. Come watch your special. Oh, for your watch party that you won't be at. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think it'll be like that. Yeah. Yeah. It'll be just something for people to get together and.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Yeah. Just hang out. My wife can come, you know. Yeah. Yeah, it'll be fun. Yeah. Yeah, but it's out. I'm pumped about it. I love it. I think it's a great special. It's just a good, funny, regular jokes.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Nothing, nothing wild. Nothing you can, funny, regular jokes. Nothing wild. Nothing, you can, I don't, I always say, it's not, I don't do comedy for kids, but you can watch it with your aunt, and you're not gonna be worried. It's gonna be great. Yep. All right.
Starting point is 00:04:39 That's great. Wet Heat. It's out now, Netflix. All right, yeah, this week, me and Aaron, Aaron were together, so we have, some of our stuff I think fits in with our topic today. So we can, I mean, is there anything we had that stuck? I golfed at Hazel Teen, which is nice.
Starting point is 00:05:01 We talked about the first pitch at the Brewers game. Through the first pitch out at the brewers game with JJ Watt as well. Uh, there's a lot of people out there. Did you guys throw it out together? No, he was, uh, you know, every first pitch, there's usually like four or five of them. Oh, okay. And so it was, it went me, it was a few other people than me, than JJ Watt.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Whose was better, yours or his? His is it. I mean, he, like I would argue his, his hit the dirt. JJ was throwing better than me in the warmup, but I think JJ threw a pitch that would get people to swing at, and I think my pitch was a safe safe pitch Let's take a look at it. It was right here a little too. Yeah, it's high
Starting point is 00:05:54 Yeah, that's a good yeah But it's a pitch that no one unless you see this video you don't know Everybody that's watching is like, but it's a pitch that no one, unless you see this video, you don't know. Everybody that's watching is like, oh, it was great. Everybody that's there lies. Of course. Because you can't really see, but it's a, yeah, he doesn't have to get up, he doesn't have to do anything.
Starting point is 00:06:17 We're minding our own business there. JJ, I think, threw it, and his hit the dirt, and he got some groans. He did. But I think JJ's and his hit the dirt and he got some groans He did but I think JJ's would have been a pitch that you could have it got over the plate It did on here the dirt. I don't know if it is it on this broadcast Yeah, I don't think it got over the plate and I think is a pitch that would make you swing I think it was a pitch designed to make you swing. My pitch was a safe You know, I'm a guy that gets brought out and you go, I'm not trying to, you know.
Starting point is 00:06:47 But he's an athlete though. You want, I mean, when you're an athlete, you almost like feel like, well, I gotta. There's an expectation for sure. Yeah, and he's from Wisconsin. Yeah. Exactly, this was a hometown thing for him. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:58 And then, so he had a lot on the line. Yeah. I need to, you get, I do terrific leading up to to it and then the day when you go to practice you get a little I Little nervous and I and that's my pitches the few that I've done They all go left because I hold on to them too long, right? All right, and so I need to Gain some confidence, but it's a bit going to play It's not in the dirt. Yeah, I'm not gonna be the dirt. It's not embarrassing. It's not embarrassing. It's the guy doesn't have to move. It's a fun. It popped from the crowd too. It was a cool. It was a
Starting point is 00:07:32 special day with the Brewers because it was like an alumni day. So all the great Brewers of the recent past were there. They did a home run Derby after the games. Like Prince Fielder was in the dugout and all these guys were just around. So there was like a fun energy in the ballpark. Do you think if you threw heat though, it might, it might, yeah, yeah, that it might be better. It might be because you're trying to, when you're trying to steer something, it usually doesn't go good. And so it might be better to just like out of your head, try to light that guy up. Yeah, just like get it going. Make him wish he'd have worn a face mask. You know what dude, you threw from the rubber
Starting point is 00:08:10 and that's all that counts, man. You didn't throw from the front of the mound like a lot of people. Yeah, we, Larry Fitzgerald, which seems like I'm throwing these crazy names, but they were just at the thing. But he was telling me his first pitch, he doesn't even go to the rubber.
Starting point is 00:08:29 He just stands in front of the mound. He was like, there's no, like all you're doing is trying not to be a meme when you go do this. No one's gonna remember if you're on the rubber. No one's gonna remember if you do. Like, you know, and once you've been to the rubber, you're like, it doesn't matter. He's like, I'm a Hall of Famer.
Starting point is 00:08:44 I don't need, I got nothing. I can only lose. You can only lose. Yeah. He's probably thrown out so many pitches. Right. I mean, you could argue that's why maybe the next one
Starting point is 00:08:53 I could, I might be doing one, on a minor league team. So maybe I'll, that one I'll try to bring, I'll try to build some confidence. I think you gotta like, you gotta make the catcher go, all right, this guy, he tries to throw heat, maybe put on a chest pad, put on the mask, just do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Just in case. Nervous, make him nervous. Yeah. When I threw out mine at the sounds game, Aaron was there, I pitched from the stretch, I went all in, but I got in my position a little too fast, if you remember. So I had to stand there with the ball behind my back, looking in for about 30 seconds. Because you didn't want to balk. Right? It's like I'm already in my window.
Starting point is 00:09:35 I got a little too excited. It was fun. I think I'm trying not to do that because I, it's- Because I'm fun. You're fun you're definitely making it about you and not everybody else that's got jobs and running a thing you definitely are slowing the process down so I tend to go and figure they've seen it all I bet they don't need me to go in and do a show with us. That's the difference. We're trying to become a meme. We're trying to.
Starting point is 00:10:08 I was thrown into a rooster. So that's true. I think he got a curve ball. Yeah. He dropped it. Yeah. Tear your shoulder. On the patch. I'm going to try.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Get an injury. Yeah. Speaking of, did you guys do the golf ball? We didn't. We talked about it all weekend. Nate called me out on the air about it to the Brewers. I saw it at the very end. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:27 The guy said, he can't. They shot it down pretty quick. Yeah. It's bigger than you think. I know. I was trying to get it done there, but I think when we showed up, we ended up like, meet a lot of the Brewers were awesome.
Starting point is 00:10:41 They were great. Yeah, they were great. We got to talk to everybody. We got to be in the locker room before. It was very cool. J.J. Watt's awesome. And so it was just a fun hang, so we didn't get out there earlier. If we had got out there earlier.
Starting point is 00:10:58 But yeah, I want to do it, but I was like, I don't want to. I got to kind of protect it. It's like I'm protecting Aaron. I can't have him just, cause I want it to, when it happens, I need it to happen at that moment. It can't, you know, I don't want him to go
Starting point is 00:11:14 throw a tennis ball, you know, I don't want to throw a baseball. I don't want him really doing any of it because I, I think you can do it. Thanks, man. We need, the whole point of it is, I think you can do it. Thanks, man. We need it.
Starting point is 00:11:22 The whole point of it is, uh, this, you know, the yeah, that's the first time to see. I mean, what's to lose, though? You throw it. It does. Let's say it doesn't make it. Everybody goes, told you. And you go, yeah, guys, of course I can't do it. It's if I barely miss it.
Starting point is 00:11:40 That's one thing. But if I don't even get close, that's humiliating, because of how I've been talking about it. I don't think so. We had a guy right in say that he and his coworkers went out, tried it themselves, 60 to 70 yards is what they could get. With a roll? I think that's what he meant, yeah, with a roll.
Starting point is 00:11:57 And then he said, the average- Where do they work? Do you know how many yards a golf course, an average golf course is? Like 6,500. Okay, that golf course is? Like 6,500. Okay, that's what he said, 6,500. So he said that would be, at that yard, that'd be 93 strokes.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Then if you two putt, that'd be a 129. Mm-hmm. So. So we're neck and neck at that point. I mean, it's closer than you, you're making a pretty good point, Aaron. But I just don't think you can throw it that many times without pulling your arm out.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Well, yeah. But y'all, so that golf thing can happen and we were just talking about that like I want to get it put on the schedule We'll make it happen and we're gonna make it happen We go probably play nine holes you down to put up or shut up Brian. Yeah, can you tell Micah? I need some lessons before them. Yeah we can play we can do Yeah, I would say, I say we go do it and that one will be,
Starting point is 00:12:51 yeah, we play nine holes. We don't need to be out there all day. We were throwing it around in the arenas this weekend and I realized I have no internal instinct for how long the yardage is. We were throwing it across the arena, I was like, that's probably 140 yards. And then the crew was like, that was 40 yards.
Starting point is 00:13:08 And you're like, oh, and then I got conflicting information. So we're gonna have to go somewhere where it's all measured out. Yeah. And we'll, and we'll make it happen. Like a golf course. Potentially. Were you throwing a golf ball in this arena? No, no, no, we wouldn't let them.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Oh, I don't want them to, I don't need him to getting any kind of ideas. That's worth it. They let me build confidence with a different kind of ball. Yeah. What are you throwing? Throwing just like a leather ball to play catcher. You know, just a ball that a grown man carries everywhere.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Yeah. What's that? And that grown man is Aaron. But what do you mean just a leather ball? To be fair, we love it. Everybody loves that ball. Everybody loves it, but it's Aaron walks around with the ball. We're not finding a ball. We go to the guy that carries a ball around.
Starting point is 00:13:51 So it's not a racket ball, not a football. It's just a ball? It's like a perfect ball. It's like a softball, like a softer softball. It's halfway between a baseball and a softball. It's made out of leather. It's a slightly weighted. It's unbelievable. Best toss of your life. How do I get one? Like what would I type in? I got an extra one. I'll give it to you. It's called out of leather. It's a slightly weighted. It's unbelievable. Best toss of your life. How do I get one? Like what would I type in the Amazon? I got an extra one. I'll give it to you.
Starting point is 00:14:08 It's called a yard ball. Yard ball. Yeah. Okay. I'll give you my extra one. Okay. If you're really down to throw it away. Yeah. It's nice to, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:15 You just, cause it's, you have any downtime, you just kind of pop and Aaron's always, Aaron's always, there's a nice, yeah. If you have any moment of silence, there's Aaron and he just little point and you're, and you have any moment of silence, there's Aaron and he just, little point, and you just know a ball's about to come. You're about to walk on stage and make eye contact with him? Make eye contact, he goes, you want it?
Starting point is 00:14:33 And you go, all right, I guess I'll take it. I played catch with the crowd a little bit last night. Do you? Really? I love that. When everything was going on, we'll talk about it a lot. Oh, really? Oh yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Love that, the yard ball going with the crowd. Try to get it going around the crowd, but then back to you like a beach ball. Yeah. Throw it around while the show's going on. During my set. Yeah. I had something one time I had the audience pass around
Starting point is 00:14:56 to look at. Collection plate? Forget what it was, but like a picture of something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just wanted to see if they would do it. And they did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just wanted to see if they would do it. And they did.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Yeah. That's on the special. Yeah. That's what the whole special is. Just following people around, passing the picture. Passing stuff around. Yeah. I was, Friday I was in Hattiesburg, Mississippi
Starting point is 00:15:20 doing the Life for Life event at Singer Theater with Derrick Stroop and Andrew Stanley had a great time. Did you see Toby? I did see Toby. Yeah. He gave us a gift and very nice. Did you go to the mayor's office? No.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Okay. No, he didn't invite us. Okay. I didn't show up. He gives us too much. There's only so much to mayor. Yeah. He's gonna go in there and sit behind the desk
Starting point is 00:15:43 and wanna bang on the thing. Just like the first pitch, he just goes, He's gonna go in there and sit behind the desk and wanna bang on the thing. Just like the first pitch. He just goes, you mind if I do a whole thing? And they're like, all right, all right, man. Take my picture while I'm doing it. But that was great. And then Saturday night, I was at the Grand Ole Opry.
Starting point is 00:15:58 It's always such an honor to get to do that. So who are some people you were with? T. Graham Brown. I know T. Graham Brown. Connie Smith. Writers in the Sky. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Some classic Opry people. Classic. Classic. So it was a lot of fun. All right. Yes. That's really dusty. I went to Vegas. I was at the Venetian and it was great, very nice, great show, a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:16:29 I took Vince Fabra, went to college in Hattiesburg, was friends with the mayor. It was great, I went to a magic show, which I don't necessarily support, but I... It was... You go to him as my father. Well, we've talked about it a little bit, you, me and your dad.
Starting point is 00:16:46 He's like, you know, he's like, I'm doing sleight of hand, you know, I'm not doing magic. And this was a Jin, Jin Shin. Okay. He won the, Oh, that dude's unbelievable. Yeah, he won AGT a couple of times. And then we,
Starting point is 00:17:04 I saw him on the full, the Penn and Teller show and he fooled Penn and Teller. Oh yeah. That guy's unbelievable. We did a little social media thing and then I went to a show and it is unbelievable. Yeah. It is, he's so good, like it doesn't even make sense.
Starting point is 00:17:18 That's why I'm like, he kept saying it was sleight of hand. I'm like, it can't be. This guy is doing something interdimensional. It's just no, like the trick he did for me, which will be a social media clip, was he gave me a deck of cards and I fold, I shuffled them up a bunch of times. And then he would go, all right, just name a color
Starting point is 00:17:41 and I'll flip that card over. And like, I would go like black, red, black, red, red, red, red, black, black, black. And no matter what I did, that was the card he turned over. Wow. And it's like, and then the last card was a card that I picked and looked at. And I can wrap my head around how he did that part.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Yeah. But the other part, it doesn't make any sense. At some point there would be more black than red or more, you know what I mean? Like I would run out of, but the whole deck. Wow. So, but if you're talking about like, yeah, it's like the inter, what was that word?
Starting point is 00:18:13 Inter- Interdimensional. Dimensional, this guy's operating on a fourth dimension. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but if you thought of that like against it, like who's that on? You or the magician? If you don't want to see magic because you're afraid they're doing that, but he's telling
Starting point is 00:18:29 you he's not, who's that? I'm not mad at the guy. I'm not blaming him, but I'm just saying. But if you don't like magic, is it, it's a your belief versus the magician? Because you believe the magician has... He has some special powers, yes. Yes. So, but that would be on...
Starting point is 00:18:51 What a waste to only be a magician if you actually have special powers. Well, who knows? That's how we start. But he's making, you know, he's probably making a lot of money. He's doing a residency there. But it's really...
Starting point is 00:19:00 But I mean, still make more money by being an alien. Well, he may do that on the side. I mean, who knows? You know what I mean? Like where they're doing things. Like there was a, who was that guy? Chris Angel? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:14 He would go like to, you know, somebody would hand him a stack of wands and he would do some thing and then it would all be hundreds. I'm like, that sounds like the kind of magic to have. Yes. Why would you do anything else but go to poor neighborhoods and give people hundreds?
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yeah. Well, that's where I was thinking, think about what you just said, think about heart and be like, that's what. Well, I'm just saying, it feels like he's able to dip into an unseen dimension and do things with cards that we can't say. It's so wild how good he is.
Starting point is 00:19:49 It's so wild. That is the best review for a magician of all time. This dude operates on an interdimensional plane. The other guy, he had an assistant and the assistant, I don't know if it was an assistant, but it was another magician that did some stuff in between. And he had a voodoo doll. And I closed my eyes during those parts of the show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Were you on stage? No, no, I just didn't want to watch it. I didn't want to witness it. You want to listen to it, but not, you don't want to see it. Well, I didn't want to listen to it, but I can't rightly turn off my ears. But I could, I just didn't want, he had the doll and he was like, stare deep into the doll's eyes.
Starting point is 00:20:25 And then he was doing stuff where he's lifting the doll's arm and then the guy's arm would lift. Did it look like you, the voodoo doll? No. You'd be an easy guy to make a voodoo doll out of. You know what I mean? Yeah. Just cause you.
Starting point is 00:20:37 You could sell voodoo dolls. I could. You could, Dusty Slade voodoo doll. I mean, I could. A wet heat voodoo doll. A guy gave me a toy made of me. Made of you? Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Look at this. Made out of you. Look at that. Oh, that's really cool. He had it actually printed out and made action figure. Oh, that's great. Real toy there. That's really cool.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Can you show the camera? I don't know how to show it, but just turn it around. Yeah. Yeah, it's good. Yeah. You got an's good. Yeah. You got an action figure. Yeah. Did you open it?
Starting point is 00:21:08 No, I didn't open it. Cause my kids will just tear it up. Yeah, I think the packaging's part of it too. Yeah. So it's just, yeah. That's cool. Now I gotta get a new one. Yeah, play with it.
Starting point is 00:21:16 It'd be fun. Well, I got a couple of things and I did, I do let them play with it and then they break it. Yeah. Every time they break it every time. So I'm like, guys, you got enough toys. You don't need to play with your break it. Yeah. Every time they break it every time. So I'm like, guys, you got enough toys. You don't need to take play with your dad toy. Yeah. Yeah. Just like you're yelling. Yeah. Yeah. There's no need to pretend I am yelling. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:37 We've talked about it before as comics. We try a joke on stage. Doesn't go how we think crickets. You know, what is a joke?

Starting point is 00:23:13 Wilson Goins, Goins. The tough last time. Talking about the moon when Dusty isn't there is like having an episode on golf without Nate. Well, I think it's for the same reason. You did sandwiches without me. It's like you want people to be objective and not get too emotionally involved in it.
Starting point is 00:23:31 It was a good move. A lot of people in the comments kept saying that I don't believe that the moon exists. I do believe the moon's real. You can see it up there. Yeah, we said that on the podcast. I just don't think it's, you know, something you can leave to trees. Yeah, I think it is a service to you,
Starting point is 00:23:47 so you didn't have to spend two hours saying, well, that didn't happen. Yeah, and that's what I would have did. Yeah, yeah. So it's best that you did it that way. Yeah, that's like the magic thing. Yeah. Like, what's the point?
Starting point is 00:23:56 Right. You know. I mean, I went, cause the guy, he was very nice, and it's a good show. Yeah. You know. Yeah, people are nice. Some of them, yeah. Some of them, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Yeah. Michelle Ramos, only on Nate Land can we hear a spirited debate on the staying power of Taylor Swift versus Michael Jackson on an episode about the moon. Way to be consistent, guys. You're talking about the guy that does the moon walk? I think that's how we got there. That's how we got into it.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Talking about the moonwalk. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Rob Miraru. Miru, sounds like an animal's name, you know? Mira. Like you see them at the, where are y'all at? We're at by the Mirers.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Right by the Lemurs. We're by the Mirus. They're over the ones that are, you know, are. I spent nearly 13 years in law enforcement and I can attest to the truth of a full moon having profound effects on people with mental health issues. Essentially, we had a pool of people
Starting point is 00:24:58 that we would routinely have encounters with when the moon was full. Well, why do you think that is? What do you think is happening? I mean, originally, Plato, your guy Plato said that... Plato. It's not Plato. It's Plato.
Starting point is 00:25:16 It's like with a D. It's with a T, but... Plato. You know, I didn't even need to correct you at all. You say it quicker, I think. Plato. Like, I think you went Plato. Okay say I didn't need to correct you at all. Sorry. Say it quicker. I think Plato, like I think you went play toe. Okay. Like there would be an E at the end. Play toe.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Yeah. Played out. But he said play dough. Like it's P L A Y. Yeah. And then the word dough. Yeah. It's like the play dough in Aristotle. Yeah. Imagine if Plato knew he becomes just what he became.
Starting point is 00:25:45 I mean, that's what he's been reduced to. His children. Just clay. Yeah, just clay. And he goes, well, I did a little more than that. You go, well, Egypt, you're half a tennis tube of clay. But what did he really do though? I mean, a lot.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Like what though? He was one of the foundational thinkers of the world. We're benefiting from a lot of the stuff that those guys thought and wrote about today without even really realizing it. So he was a pretty important guy. What did he say about the movie? Nothing we could really pinpoint that he did.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Nothing that'd be fun to talk to you about, but a lot of stuff. Yeah. Well, I mean, one specific thing would be good though, if you could just. We could talk about Plato's allegory of the cave and talking about forms and talking about, I mean, we could talk about metaphysics.
Starting point is 00:26:36 How about we talk about what he did with the moon? I'd imagine allegory of the cave has nothing to do with the cave. Well, it's an allegory. So yeah, it's- Well, I don't even know what allegory means. What's that mean? An allegory. So yeah, it's- Well, I don't even know what allegory means. What's that mean? An allegory like a metaphorical story that,
Starting point is 00:26:51 yeah, it's a metaphor. Of a cave. It's about a cave. It's about guys chained up in a cave and they only see the shadows of things, but they never see the things causing the shadows behind them. And that's a metaphor for the forms of things on Earth.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Man, Steve. It's a good Horum film. He said that, I don't really think it was him actually, but. What? He said it wasn't even him. Yeah, all that. I know, I'm joking, I'm joking. It was Steve Williams. Yeah. He was the cat. It was my that. I know, I'm joking. I'm joking. Yeah, it was Steve Williams.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Yeah. He's the cat. It was my buddy. I was talking to him. I'm sorry, it was the catty for Tiger Woods in the late 90s, early 2000s. He said- I read this on a Play-Doh package.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Yeah, he thought that, you know how the tides are affected by the moon. Yeah. The brain is mostly water, so therefore, full moon, it's gonna mess with your brain chemistry. Oh. Which of makes sense? Yeah, I mean I guess I guess it tracks Alright, do you think like that one? You kind of gave it out for free?
Starting point is 00:27:53 That sounds like one day They go play any stuff you want to say and he goes Here's one the brain is water the tides I appreciate it man. It's like teams even they capture someone Just go like you want to say anything about that. He goes. Ah, he says one thing. That's what that feels like But numerous people who worked in Mental health places police for schools said no the full moon thing is real. Wow. I always thought there was just a practical explanation.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Like there's more light. So people would commit more crimes with more light. But I don't know. Could be. And then that just, and then, yeah, I don't know. All right. Mark Evans. This year, the year is determined by the time it takes to circle the sun, not the earth spinning on its axis. So if the moon left and the earth spun faster at eight
Starting point is 00:28:56 hours per revolution, we'd have roughly triple the number of days in a year. Yeah, we got, so last week you made the point that we'd live a lot longer because of me spending, but that's, yeah, it's not the earth spending on its axis that causes a year. It's the earth going around the sun. So he's just saying that wouldn't add up. It's a good point, Mark.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Unless- Triple the number of good point, Mark. Unless- Triple the number of days in a year. Unless you agree that 365 days is a year, then it would. It would triple those days. Yeah. But it'd be essentially, you'd be living the same life, it just, the number would change. That's right.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Yeah. Kevin McHenry, the problem with the fact that Aaron gave about how many times you have to fold a piece of paper to get to the moon is that only Aaron and Julian understood what he was saying. Folding any sized piece of paper of standard thickness only 42 times to make it to the moon is insane. And a very entertaining mathematical fact.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Good job on Aaron. Appreciate that. Yeah. All right. I mean, yeah, I mean, that's the most excited I've been about a fun fact in a long time. But I understood it. I've been dropping on people all weekend.
Starting point is 00:30:08 I hate I missed it, cause I don't get it. If you fold that piece of paper in half 42 times, it'll be from here to the moon. That's just, it's just exponential growth. But you can't. You just double something, yeah. You're about to think the exact same way Nate did.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Well, you can't, cause you can't fold it 42 times, right? Of course, and you can't get to the moon just by jumping up somewhere, you know what I mean? It's a theoretical, it's just about- How many times can you fold the paper before it breaks? We looked it up, it was like- Six or seven, you can usually get,
Starting point is 00:30:37 the world record's 12, but that was with a 1.2 kilometer long piece of toilet paper. Halfway. And that would be halfway to the moon. That'd be bigger than any skyscraper. Halfway to the moon. What? Wait, oh gosh, 42. But I mean, if you did 12, that's a third.
Starting point is 00:30:56 It doesn't work that way. And then it's doubling each time. I still have a point, because it's exponential growth cuts, it's doubling each time. So if you fold it at 42 times, the first 30 are just gonna be, yeah, they're pretty manageable. But then it just starts to double and double.
Starting point is 00:31:10 And so you're folding, so when you fold it 20 times, it's then folding that 20 times into another time. It's like, a lot of people think college, like, it's like college is just, A lot of people think college is just, you know, they just kind of say they like complicate something that the people that can't go to college just go, I can't do it and they go, this guy's not ready for a real job. And then I'm out of a job because it's- Meanwhile, there's no real practical use
Starting point is 00:31:39 for that information. I mean, there's practical use for understanding exponential growth. A lot of people things doubling pointed out and we've talked about this in the podcast. If you started with a penny after the end of the month, after 30 days, you'd be a millionaire. Right. After 40 days, you'd be the richest man. Start out with a penny doing what? Double, double it every day. So the same end of the month, you'd be a millionaire? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. You like that more than the folding paper to the moon?
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah, cause I don't think you can fold the paper. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but nobody could double a penny. Well, you could if, you know, you had investors and everybody was doubling the penny every day, but folding the, that's just like, there's not enough paper here- Yeah, you're gonna hate Play-Doh.
Starting point is 00:32:25 To make it to the moon. No, I can conceptualize it. It's a thought experiment though, yeah, it's just about. But you would have to add paper to the paper. What do you mean? Well, it would have to be a big piece of paper. It would have to be an impossibly large piece of paper. Yeah. That's for sure.
Starting point is 00:32:41 I think it's like, yeah, if it's a thought experiment though, what comes out of that? What do you mean? So you're like, all right, let's use this thought experiment. Is it like, what comes out? Like, does someone get done with that and they're like, all right, I know how to efficiently move cars through the intersections.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Like I don't understand what- Maybe investing? Not the paper? Well, it's the same principle. Yeah, yeah. What would come at, like what if someone can wrap their head around and they go, wow, that is crazy and it's insane. What does that person bring to the table
Starting point is 00:33:20 after learning that? If they say something is growing exponentially, it's hard to understand right away learning that. If they say something is growing exponentially, it's hard to understand right away what that means. But that folding the paper is a great example of exponential growth and how it can get out of control real quickly. So that's just... Okay, that makes sense. Gina Obey. I'm so glad Nate called out how annoying the paper phone conversation is. It's one of those things when you hear it
Starting point is 00:33:49 and wish you can get that time back. I mean, that's. Come on, Jenna. Jenna, that is. That worked out perfect. That worked out. That's really some brilliant lining up of those comments. I gotta say.
Starting point is 00:33:58 I had it the other way, but I knew how this conversation was gonna go, so I flipped it. That is unbelievable. That's a. Well, I disagree with Jenna, but I think the idea that someone sat around and thought of that initially is too much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:16 I don't know where you stand now. But the fact that we're discussing it, that they thought about it, I think is OK. But the fact that they thought of it. It's like, OK, OK.. Well you could say if you just stacked you know you doubled the stack of the paper every time. It's the exact same thing you do it double 42 times. Now that I can wrap my head around. So it's the physical folding that's holding you back? You can't fold. I mean how you can't fold it. If you stacked it 42 pieces of paper. No, no, but it would double each time. So it'd be one piece and then two, then four,
Starting point is 00:34:47 then eight, then 16, then 32, and then 64. I really think I can wrap my head around that more. Yeah, it's the exact same thing. It's not. But you can't fold it. Because when you fold it in half, that's like two pieces of paper on top of each other. That's the whole point.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Yeah, but the fold starts to get too, you're like, at some point, at some point you're folding it and the fold becomes so big that you're actually losing power. But also at some point the stack becomes so high, you don't have oxygen to breathe up there while you're folding the paper.
Starting point is 00:35:18 And the earth is spinning, you know, allegedly. And so the paper's going everywhere. Yeah, yeah. That's why if you fold it, instead of stack it so the paper's going everywhere. Yeah. Yeah. That's why if you fold it instead of stack it, the paper will stick together. Yeah, but yeah, well then luckily you'll be on top of your so-called moon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Brian Blue, when Nate said he has decision perilous with giving too many choices. Paralysis. Paralysis. When given too many choices, he may be in good company. The greatest football coach, college football coach of all time, Nick Saban, eats the same breakfast and lunch every day, saying that is two less decisions he has to make every day.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Wow. I agree. And Nick Saban, when I look at that guy, I go, that's a happy guy. That's what I think. It's a lot of decisions you make. Decision to eat nuts. He can win a football game, that's for sure, but I bet he is not fun to have lunch with.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Well, he's gonna be eating the same thing. Yeah. It's a simpleness of just like, just bring it. I mean, I'm hitting into the world of this where you just gotta go, how many times I get asked where to go eat? It's all day every day. And it just adds into all the other things.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Yeah, you just want cold chicken and rice every day for lunch. Well, it's tough. I mean, but it's like, you realize you get more and more where you go, you start seeing, wearing that same thing every day, just where you go. It's just something that's off your plate. Even when you don't really care what you're wearing,
Starting point is 00:36:51 there's still some thought into it. Like you put on that bucks thing, there is a part that you, why I did shows this weekend, I'll wear it on the podcast. There was eight decisions that went into you wearing that. Even though it looks like you just, even though I just threw this jacket on. Yeah, of course. I'm glad you explained why you wearing that. Even though it looks like you just, it's like, why'd you just throw your jacket on? Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I'm glad you explained why you wore it. I was like, geez. Yeah. You can sleep in your car. That takes away the decision of like, do you get in your car in the morning? Do I need to wash my sheets? You don't need to if you're sleeping in your car.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Well, that's why you would make the decision to be food or dressing. So it doesn't have to be, but maybe's why you would make the decisions be food or dressing. So it doesn't have to be, but maybe you have one car, so you choose, some decisions you don't mind making. Some are, some they're pointless and you just get exhausted by it.
Starting point is 00:37:36 And at some point, maybe you have, if you get to the place where you're like, I don't wanna choose my breakfast, maybe you have too many other decisions going on. I would think you'd wanna scale some of those others back. You know. But then you can't operate at that high of a level. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:51 So someone has to be, but then it's, you're right, but then that person doesn't get to be Nick Saban. That's why Auburn struggled. But I think some food, but look at all the coaches that made so much money for just losing, right? That's true. It's true, but yeah, and they're not Sitting like Nick Saban. I mean, so you're saying if you don't if you don't want to be Nick Saban. Yes I guess mouse on is gone, but
Starting point is 00:38:18 He is choosing a good breakfast Tommy Tuberville having a buffet every lunch a good breakfast every day. Yeah, Tommy Tuberville is having a buffet every lunch. Yeah, yeah. He can eat whatever he wants. But they're not Nick Safe. Would you like a restaurant, Nate, that only had one thing on the menu and that was all you could order?
Starting point is 00:38:32 You'd like the idea of that? We do one thing really well. Come get it or don't. There is a burger place that I went to in Denver. And it was just the one thing? It was one burger. Oh, I like that. And then they had fries
Starting point is 00:38:43 or you could get like something on the fries. But that was it. I would almost be like, if you started a burger place, be like, almost like Fuddruckers was like that, where you're like, we make it, I think we make a plain burger. All the stuff is out there.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Yeah. You do what you wanna do out there. I just love the idea of pulling up to like a drive-through and they're like, all right, how many? Yeah. And that's your only decision. That would be great. Yeah. That'd be fun. up to like a drive-thru and they're like, all right, how many? Yeah. And that's your only decision. That would be great. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:07 That'd be fun. Yeah, like a plain hamburger. If you did it where you got a plain hamburger and you just had, yeah, just plain hamburgers and then you just go up and you go, I'll take two. And it's like, I'm starving. I need to eat something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:20 It's like going to McDonald's, like if you needed it, but you don't have to say anything. I'll take two. Ballpark hamburgers, like in a salt ball field or something. They're so good. So good. Yeah. Raston tinfoil.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Basic. Yeah. Tinfoil. I'm trying to say it like y'all. Tinfoil. Tinfoil. What would you say? Tinfoil.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Foil. Tinfoil. I don't hit it that hard. Tinfoil. You know, I wasn't sure what to expect the first time I tried mud water. I remember when I got the bottle and the name's a little overwhelming and you're like, what is this stuff? Cause I've been a coffee drinker for years.
Starting point is 00:39:53 Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee. You know what I mean? But lately that crash and that jittery energy just wasn't working for me. So I gave mud water a shot. Honestly, it was a game changer. The OG blend really stood out to me. It's got this warm, earthy vibe to it. It tastes like a spicy grownup hot chocolate.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Because you love hot chocolate, but you feel like a child drinking it. You need to drink Mudwater. That's for adults. Exactly. Especially when I mix it all with oat milk and a little honey. And then when I'm in a rush,
Starting point is 00:40:23 I just shake it with some cold almond milk, pour it over ice. Boom, instant clarity in a cup. But here's what really surprised me, you guys. After about a week of switching out my morning coffee for mud water, I realized I wasn't getting that 2 PM brain fog anymore. My energy felt more even more sustainable. I wasn't crashing mid afternoon. I wasn't tapping out in the middle of the podcast like I usually do. I get bored with you guys. Not anymore. Not after mud water. If you haven't tried mud water yet, definitely give it a shot, especially if you're looking to ditch the jitters without giving up that morning ritual. You can even grab it at Target or Sprouts now, which makes it super easy to stock up. Are you ready to make the switch to cleaner energy?

Eric Smith, I picked my daughter up from her first year of college. She was upset to be leaving all the close friends she's made over her first year. Fortunately, a certain audiobook called Big Dumb Eyes had just released to my audible account. Within minutes we were both laughing on the road, listening to the entire thing on the 10 and a half hour drive home. Loved it and hilarious.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Well, congratulations to your daughter, finishing her first year of college. It's awesome. Officially, she's passed me. Well, when she started, she passed me. She's now way ahead of me. She's almost to the moon. She's folded the paper a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:42:23 She's folded a couple of times. I don't know if she's near 42 yet, but. Yep. Sharon Lloyd, I've actually had three employees named Dusty working in the same small six employee office at once. It was hard to know who was talking, so we nicknamed them He Dusty, She Dusty, and Sarge
Starting point is 00:42:44 as these former military. If your Dusty worked with us, what should we nickname him? Well, people used to call me Slayer because of my last name. So that's what we would do. I would goth it up a bit. I'd go back to this guy, be Slayer.
Starting point is 00:42:59 I'd come in with some heavy metal. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, Slayer would be good. Some Skull T-shirts, kick it back to high school. He Dusty, She Dusty and Sarge. Yeah. And Dump Dusty. I mean, the band takes it a little far with it.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Yeah, they're pretty intense. They're pretty extreme. But is there a name? Yeah, so I mean, I guess you would go Slayer. Yeah, I think so. It's a lot to call someone. Yeah, but you want to keep it cool though. A grown man in an office, you don't want to call him Sam.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Well, listen, I don't know what's going on in that office, but they got three Dustys in there, something going on in their office. Yeah. I mean, I don't know what they do. Three out of six? Yeah. You got to talk to the person doing that.
Starting point is 00:43:37 The name doesn't matter because most of them are off the books. Yeah. Yeah. That is true. That's the, you might have a company problem if you can only find Dusty's to work for you. At that point, it feels like you should just go ahead and find other Dusty's.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Yeah. Like we're looking for other Dusty's. Yeah. We only look for Dusty's. Because even Dustin, Justin, Dusty in an office is confusing. Right. Because when your name's Dusty,
Starting point is 00:44:02 you're not used to hearing other people be called that name. So when another one's around, you always think they're talking to you. Yeah. Yeah, and they had six employees and three of them were named Dusty. Yeah. I mean, you've got three in your orbit.
Starting point is 00:44:17 When you think about it, Dustin Nickerson, Dustin Chafin, Dustin Slay. Yeah. But they're Dustin's. They're Dustin's. I mean, I'm a Dusty. Maybe Dustin by birth, but Dusty by the grace of God. It's a big difference.
Starting point is 00:44:34 It is a big difference. Linda Schaefer. My buddies have a belt buckle with that on it. American by birth, Southern by the grace of God. Yeah, yeah. That's Dustin by birth. My buddy, I love grits. Girls raised in the South.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Yeah, that was a big one. Anyway. Are you through? Yeah, yeah. I think that's a little, I couldn't remember anymore. That's that Alabama stuff. Yeah. Linda Schaeffer.
Starting point is 00:45:04 My hubby appreciates Nate, but isn't a huge fan like I am. Tonight he put on Signature Dish, and I commented that he had already seen it. He said, I know, but I want to watch it again. That's a major compliment. All right, how about that? All right, Mr. Schaefer. This guy sounds like a real comedy fan, good taste.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Yeah, why would you not just cut out the top part of that comment? Because it makes it funnier. Does it? Well, I think it emphasizes how big of a fan he is. Hey guys, Nate stinks. Anyway, you watched Aaron's special. Yeah, you're exactly right.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Emphasizes. But in the Schaefer family, you got a Nate fan, you got an Aaron fan, they're all in the Nate Land family. That's right,'re exactly right. Emphasizes. But in the Schaefer family, you got a Nate fan, you got an Aaron fan. They're all in the Nate Land family. That's right. That's right. They don't seem to be watching My Special, Wet Heat. That's out on Netflix now. And it's not out yet. Or, you know, Brian's.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Right. Easy out. Yeah. They might listen to it. Yeah, that's true. The CD. It's a good album. Thank you. Thank you. John Gibson. I was listening to Fly on the Wall with Dan Soder as a guest and he was very complimentary of Nate's writing and success. He also mentioned that coming up in New York
Starting point is 00:46:15 they called Nate the Basset hound of comedy. Is that only because of his style or is there more to the story? No, I think it's the style is why they were, Sodor's one of my closest friends, so very nice to hear that. Like the Warner Brothers Basset Hound, like in Looney Tunes?
Starting point is 00:46:33 Yeah, I think it's just like slow and droopy eyes. And yeah, yeah, I'm that. That's what I am. I would be a driven Basset hound. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But when you went out and walk up, that's what you see. Yeah, yeah. But there's something else,
Starting point is 00:46:53 but there's a lot more going on. He's actually the best hunter in the business. Yeah, you're something like that. Yeah, yeah, I would be, yeah. He can actually get a tennis ball back faster than anybody. But just one breakfast. Don't straddle me with options. No, no, the dog doesn't need options.
Starting point is 00:47:11 A Basset hound would be, Bass hounds are awesome. Yeah, they are cool. I wanted one as a kid. Dixie Hazard, Roscoe P. Coltrane, Head Flash. That was his sidekick. There's a Basset hound like that. Just droopy.
Starting point is 00:47:21 That was his. Yeah, it was a bassin' album like that. Just droopy. Alex Thomason. Christian Bell may be a fan, but yesterday I saw someone wearing a Dusty Slay shirt in a Lexington, South Carolina Walmart. Now he can say he really made it. Well, yeah, I mean, South Carolina, I mean, that's my home state. And not my home state, my second home state. And yeah, Walmart, that's my place.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Yeah. They might have picked that up at Goodwill on the way in. I think they sell that shirt at the Walmart. I hope so. All right. Big things happening. Yeah, thanks, Alex Thomason. You think that's John Gibson from Columbia?
Starting point is 00:48:06 Remember that guy? Yeah, probably not. Yeah. This week, the heat index in Nashville is supposed to hit 110. 110. So I thought it'd be a good time to talk about some wet heat.
Starting point is 00:48:17 All right, you know I have a joke on YouTube about the heat index too. What exactly is the heat index? What does it mean? Glad you asked. When it's 95 degrees, but the heat index too. What exactly is the heat index? What does it mean when it's 95 degrees, but the heat index is 110? What does that mean? It's the air temperature and the humidity in the air. Combine them in the, so if it's really humid.
Starting point is 00:48:39 And there's some kind of formula to this or is the guy just ballparking it? No, I think there's a formula. My question was always like, isn't temperature what it feels like? If there was no humidity, I think it would be. But why if the even I mean, with the humidity, it's like it feels like it's this temperature. Isn't that shouldn't that be what the temperature? Let me ask you this, does he ever take a warm shower and then jump in a pool?
Starting point is 00:49:07 Yeah. It's gonna feel like a real shock to your body, how cold it is, right? Yeah. So is that the actual temperature of the pool or is it what it feels like to you in that moment? Well, I agree with you, but with the heat index, it feels like that to all of us.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Mm-hmm. What I'm saying is, it doesn't, like, all right. It'd be happy. I'm just saying. I mean, I think, I think you're doing pretty good with some examples today, to be honest. I'm not upset. You got me. I think you just got him. I'm not upset about the example.
Starting point is 00:49:41 You're kind of knocking everybody off. I'm not upset about the example at all, but I'm just saying. I think the example's right. You're kind of knocking everybody off. I'm not upset about the example at all, but I'm just saying. I think the example's right. But when it comes to temperature, it is what it feels like. So if we're all experiencing it, so much that the weatherman will say,
Starting point is 00:49:54 this is what it feels like, then to me that always seems like that would be the temperature. But it's adding them together, so it's like, it's not the temperature, because it's like the temperature, they're two separate things. So they're not together.
Starting point is 00:50:07 So it's like, it's just like a gross and net. Yeah. Right, so it's just, right? And then it's, so it's just like, they're two different things. So they just do the feels like. They could, if, you know, I don't know. I know what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:50:21 The temperature is the temperature, if it feels like that. Yeah. But. Temperature is absolute. But then how saying. The temperature is the temperature. If it feels like that. Yeah, but temperature is absolute But then how how how it feels to us is something different It's an incredibly complex formula that I've never looked at before. I mean, I'm not even gonna read it out loud This is like an insane equation to calculate the heat index, but there is a turns out there
Starting point is 00:50:40 Yeah, there is a formula for it. Mm-hmm Factors in the temperature and then the relative humility. Humidity. Crazy. I looked up the most humid states in the US and it's pretty much Dusty's most popular states probably as far as his Netflix special is doing the best. There it is right there.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Alabama where I'm from seems like the most humid right there. Alabama is the most humid state in the country exactly baby born and raised in it Raised in the wet where are we Tennessee Tennessee is way further down than I thought Yeah, goodness. We're super far. I mean, Pennsylvania is more humid than we are So you never get talked about this be New York. I could see New York. I mean, Pennsylvania is more humid than we are. So you never get talked about.
Starting point is 00:51:25 New York, I could see New York. I mean, New York was so humid. That's funny. I didn't think of the Northeast is. Yeah, it may be. New York was just you're right on that water a bit. Yeah. But New York, I remember just being like, oh, my goodness. Yeah, it's like anybody. We're kind of protected in there.
Starting point is 00:51:45 We got it. We got it. Tennessee average humidity, 69.4%. And compared to Phoenix, which is always talked about as a dry heat, so everybody says 38%. So 30% difference in average humidity. California is 61%.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Wow. That's high. That's more than- Probably some northern stuff. California is so diverse. It's like, it should be like four or five different states. And the most is 77. 77, Alabama is in the lead with 77.1% average. So we're all kind of in there.
Starting point is 00:52:18 We're all in the thick of it, yeah. Louisiana, New Orleans, if it were broken down by city like that, New Orleans has got to be the most humid, swampy, unbelievable down there. Yeah. Yeah. Unbelievable. Would you rather be here 100 feels like 110 or in Phoenix where it is 110? You know what, man, I was just out in Phoenix and it was about 108, 109 degrees and I didn't mind it as much as here. It's like, you don't really feel it affecting you.
Starting point is 00:52:49 You're out there for a while. You start to feel yourself cooking from the inside. Like you're in a, you're in a microwave, but no, you don't sweat as much. And it's just, it just feels different. But the thing that dry air though is hard, but you would just get used to it if you live there. But it's like, if you're there too long It mess with your voice mess with hard on the sinuses. It's hard on the throat. I like a wet heat Can we clip that out We're in Vegas for
Starting point is 00:53:22 Like I'm out there for a week. I mean, by the end of it, you're kind of like, you're like, I gotta get out of here. But I'm not used to that. So it's like, I think I would tend to go, I agree though, like when I go golfing and I've golfed in 110 out in Phoenix, it's honestly, you won't be sweating and you have to keep an eye on it.
Starting point is 00:53:42 But that's what's scary is cause you could be like, oh, I think I'm fine. And then just being big. You're overheating and not even knowing it. Yeah. So we did episode of weather about five years ago. And the thing that, and we're sharing a lot of same facts, but the thing that stood out to most people
Starting point is 00:53:58 that they remember is I told you guys that scientists were talking about dimming the sun. Yeah. Remember this? Yeah. Yeah. Putting particles in the air dusty to, and this was in- Yeah, they're doing that now though. Well, since then in five years, now it's become a very more
Starting point is 00:54:15 talked about thing. Bill Gates is talking about it. There's a lot of- Yeah, that's what you said back then. No, back then it was, at least the story I read was about in- Back then it was conspiracy at least the story I read was about in- Back then it was conspiracy theorists and they go, oh, you guys are crazy, man.
Starting point is 00:54:30 And now it's mainstream. Yeah, yeah. If you were on five years ago, I would've said, you're crazy, Dusty. But now a lot of police are talking about it. In fact, they just had to shut one down because they were doing it without telling anybody about it.
Starting point is 00:54:43 Can you dim the sun in just one part of the earth or does it have to be uniformly around the whole globe? No, you can do it one part. So there was out in Northern California, Alameda, is that how you say it? Okay. There were some researchers and they were trying to create clouds.
Starting point is 00:55:03 All right. But then their second step- Just for the shade? Yeah, to cool things off. But then they were gonna try to- Or make it rain? Dim the sun. They were gonna try to do some stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:13 And the town found out about it and shut it down. Yeah, they did that in Dubai, I think. They created, they seeded the clouds to make them rain. And then it flooded. And I don't think it was- But it worked. It worked, it made rain? It worked, yeah, but it, you know. Sounds And I don't think it was a secret. It worked, it made rain. It worked, yeah, but it, you know.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Sounds like we just got to dial it in a little bit. Well, it seems scary to have any kind of weather control like that. Yeah, of course. Because who makes that decision? Who's the one controlling it? The stratospheric control perturbation experiment launched by Harvard University scientists
Starting point is 00:55:45 aims to examine the solution by spraying non-toxic chemicals, dust in the atmosphere, reflect the sun. Non-toxic until they go, whoops. Turned out it was toxic. Like they've done many, many times. You said reflect the sun, like it shoots back at the sun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Aerosol that offsets the effects of global warming because unreflect aerosol has never been a you know, that's been it's been great so there was a volcano in 1815 that erupted in Indonesia Krakatoa now not that one. Okay, you talked about that one last time. This is a different one It's the most Mount Tambora volcano. It's the most powerful volcano ever. And the ash was so powerful in the sky that the next year, world over, temperatures were lower. It was called the year without a summer.
Starting point is 00:56:39 And even in the United States, like there was snow in New York and Maine in June. Oh, wow. Um, I was in Winnipeg last week and they've been having fires up North and it was so smoky in Winnipeg. Yeah. It's wild. But they use this as an example of, of how you can put enough things in the air to affect the temperature.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Yeah. They do it all the time. People do think it's like not real, but it's for sure. I think we're not, we don't talk about volcanoes enough. Like we should be terrified of them. There are all these volcanoes just laying dormant that are still technically active, right? The big one in Yellowstone, the super volcano
Starting point is 00:57:23 that would end the world if it went off and it's due for one, they say. And we're just, we're just chill. Everything's due for like earthquakes. I say, bring it on. You know what I mean? Let's get wet heat out there. Everybody watch it. Let's go out with a bang.
Starting point is 00:57:43 But I think you showed a map. I remember how it would come all the way to Tennessee. The volcano super volcano. Yeah. And it would do what this volcano did, which is, I mean, it would dim the sun too much and then all the crops would die and all the livestock would die. And it'd be, it'd be a tough, tough few years after that. tough, tough few years after that. Um, California's going to be getting much golf in. Would you want to live? I think if that happened, I would want to die.
Starting point is 00:58:14 You know what I mean? Like, would you want to live through it and like rebuild society or would you want to check out? I think I would. I say check out. You're saying you'd give up the opportunity to rebuild society on your terms. I'm not saying I would. Yeah. Watch when he, your own. I'm not saying no. When he would be gone, all digital things would be gone. I I'm not saying you have your DVD. I would, I would nose dive into the volcano,
Starting point is 00:58:36 but I'm saying I like people, there's people on the internet that are like, this is how you survive a nuclear attack. And I go, nah, I want to just, I want to go, I want to go in the attack. I Don't want to live in a post Apocalyptic nuclear war world. Oh, we are living in one right now. We've used nuclear We've used nukes. Yeah, but it's not really affected us here. Okay, you know what I mean? Yeah, but that's the you've lived You want to go up to the point where it starts becoming a hassle for you
Starting point is 00:59:06 Well, yeah, I mean if they if what he's talking about the livestock dies the crops die There's the map right there if that volcano goes off. I mean, we're getting ash here in Nashville I could go back to Alabama. I could go back to Opelika and I bet I'd be okay Everybody would go to Charleston, but I would go to Opelika and, uh, we probably might be okay in Nashville. We got a little bit of that Brown in there. The Brown seems harsher than the, than the green. The problem is this is where all these crops are farmed, right?
Starting point is 00:59:39 Then they're all dead. Yeah. So then we just got whatever. My dad's got some cows and some blueberry bushes. The slaves will be all right. Yeah. So then we just got whatever. Well, my dad's got some cows and some blueberry bushes. The slaves will be all right. Yeah. If your garden's okay, we'll be fine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We split a cucumber each day. You've lived in Charleston where they have hurricanes. Yeah. And you've Alabama to see tornadoes. You've lived where there's
Starting point is 01:00:03 earthquakes. What natural disaster would you've Alabama to see tornadoes you've lived where there's earthquakes. What natural disaster would you? Least want to be a regular thing in your life earthquakes. I think tornadoes Like a regular how often are we talking I would say earthquakes cuz it's really dude when when I have felt them in New York and California, it's It's everything. There is no running to something else. There is no outlet. There is no whatever.
Starting point is 01:00:33 I mean, like, you know, like I'm talking about, yes, like there's gonna be more, you know, small earthquakes not gonna do much and tornado, you know, all that stuff. But tornado, you can see there's tracking, there's all this kind of stuff. Earthquakes, I mean, dude, all that stuff. But tornado, you can see there's tracking, there's all this kind of stuff. Earthquakes, I mean, dude, it's nuts. I guess everything moves. If we're sitting here, that was when it happened.
Starting point is 01:00:54 It's like a claustrophobic feeling. You can't go get away from it. Like at least, not you can't with tornado coming on top of you, but at least in your head, you know it's coming here. And like, even if you can't with trying to come in on top of you, but at least in your head, you know it's coming here. And like, even if you can't really get away, it's like maybe your thing can't get away,
Starting point is 01:01:10 but you can always move and like try unless it pops up on you. So I understand that. But an earthquake, it was, it's, it was such a, it was the most helpless feeling I feel like I ever had. Cause it was like- But you're in big buildings though, right?
Starting point is 01:01:25 Everywhere shakes. So it doesn't matter. If you're on the ground, the ground is shaking. Right, but it's like, I feel like just, it depends on the question of how frequent, right? What do you mean by regular occurrences? Every day at one o'clock. I see how you say it.
Starting point is 01:01:40 It depends on how big it is. And so, but like, so it would be, yes, that, but so say there's a tornado that comes every day at one o'clock. It's going to hit in a different spot every day. So you're like, you never know what's going to hit, but earthquake is going to hit everywhere. I still say tornado. Because then earthquake, earthquake, I'm saying it's, you never, when I felt, not saying I don't feel it's what tornado is, but it's like, and maybe I've just looked into tornadoes and you see them more, so we're just,
Starting point is 01:02:09 I can wrap my head around a tornado more than I can an earthquake, and that's probably part of it. But with an earthquake, I remember when it happened, I mean, you just, it's, I just remember thinking like, I can't do anything. There's nothing I could go do right now. I can't get out of this shaking. I can't run 10 miles and get out of this shaking.
Starting point is 01:02:30 It's all just shaking. Are you supposed to go outside? Yeah, what do they tell you to do in the event of an earthquake? Just kind of just wait it out? Yeah, stand in the middle of some door frame. Yeah, see, I think if your house was big or you lived in a big building,
Starting point is 01:02:45 earthquake would be very scary. But if you lived out in the country in a small one story house, I don't think it's as scary. I could see that too, but I'm afraid that it's just the earth's gonna open. Yeah. Yeah. Oh man.
Starting point is 01:02:59 It's like that's not. If you're near the water, it could be a tidal wave. That's true. Earthquakes do cause tidal waves. Yeah. And they're truly unannounced, right? You don't check the weather that morning and they're like, we got 10% chance of earthquakes.
Starting point is 01:03:11 No. So it just happens. Yeah. So you don't know what's gonna happen where we're gonna get to a point where they're already, they're tracking tornadoes and hurricanes. But then again, hurricanes are awful too though, if it's coming on a regular basis.
Starting point is 01:03:27 You can get away from it. You have like a 10 day notice. Yeah. But there are plenty of places in America that get hit routinely with earthquakes and people still live there. Yeah. Well, a hurricane though, it's like,
Starting point is 01:03:36 sure you can get away, but your house could get destroyed. Like it's like, but you, like a tornado is like, you know what's tornado season, it's tornado this, it's that. Hurricane season too. Yeah, yeah, hurricane season, you know, it's tornado season. It's this it's that hurricane season, too Yeah, yeah hurricane season. I know there's no earthquake. Yeah, there is no earthquakes It's like and it's just the ground. Yeah, it's like it's nowhere, you know if You can stay on the ground in a tornado and drive away like you can move away from things I know if you're staying there like besides the pop-up aspect of it,
Starting point is 01:04:06 but the fear of an earthquake to me is nowhere to go. All of Nashville had an earthquake right now. We can't get out. We can't get away from it. You can only go up in the air. Well, that can't last forever. So if like earthquakes, you know, it depends on how big they are,
Starting point is 01:04:23 but if there were a big massive one, man, it's like everything's shaking. Yeah, dude. I still go tornado. It's just so, and it's almost like a weird, you can't even go, what's causing, like why is the ground shaking? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:39 Like it's, you just start like moving. It's, have you ever felt one? A little bit. Yeah. I've never felt one. Never an intense one. I mean, like it's just the like moving. It's, have you ever felt one? A little bit. Yeah. I've never felt one. Never an intense one. I mean, like it's just the most helpless. There's just, cause you just think like, what am I going to go do?
Starting point is 01:04:52 And you're like, well, that part's shaking. And so is this part. And so is that part. Yeah. When they show earthquakes in like other countries where buildings fall, I mean, it's terrifying looking, you see, but it's like, that's why I think like, if you're in these big buildings, I say definitely earthquakes. I don't want to be around. But if
Starting point is 01:05:09 you're in the country, small houses, I'm afraid of tornadoes. During an earthquake, the most important action is to drop, cover, and hold on. So get under a sturdy desk or table and hold on to it. Move to an open area. If you're outdoors, move to an open area away from building space and just kind of be out there. Well, this one seems like, yeah, I see what you're saying because this one's like, if you're outside in a vehicle, it's like enjoy the ride. It's like pull over and have some fun. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:39 But I mean, you can't run when things are shaking like that, for sure. If the ground is moving below you. It's wild, dude. It's just like, it's, cause it's the, it's too when it's happening, you don't know when it's happening, and then you're, you just had that moment of like,
Starting point is 01:05:55 you have a moment of like, am I crazy? Yeah. Like you, I remember the one in New York where it was like, especially in New York, I didn't really ever even think about filling one. And I just remember just everything shaking and I thought it was a dump truck outside. I was like, is that truck that, you know.
Starting point is 01:06:14 It was a jackhammer. And then just a moment of, you know, that's what I might've said on this podcast, but I joke with it, with ideas. This is how much in our neighborhoods in New York, we didn't talk to each other is the earthquake went on. We are standing on our porch and no one said like, no one talked. We all just went back inside. Not even a y'all okay? Yeah, yeah. It was just like
Starting point is 01:06:36 everybody's out for their own. Yeah, it's correct. We have some blasting in our neighborhood, but not close to our house. What do you mean blast? Like they're building a rock quarry or something like that. When I lived on the West side, there was a quarry there. And I mean, we're not even close to it, but when they do it sometimes, the whole house shakes and you're like, oh yeah, that's crazy. You know, and if they build everything in Tennessee
Starting point is 01:07:00 is like on limestone. So if you have to build anything, they blast a lot. Wow. Tennessee has, you want to guess how many earthquakes? Like 50,000. 15 a year? A thousand. A year?
Starting point is 01:07:14 I'm going 10. Yeah. 10, 15, 50,000. Two to 300 a year. Wow. Okay. We had one yesterday. Still way more than... Oh really?
Starting point is 01:07:23 Too many really? Where at though? Usually East Tennessee around Knoxville. This one was just outside Knoxville. Did they even fill it? Maybe if you're right on it, it was like a 2.3 or something like that. Just a big guy.
Starting point is 01:07:34 So it registers, but unless you're right on it, I don't think anybody even feels it. But the New Madrid Fault, which is kind of West Tennessee, more border Missouri, they say it's overdue for a big one. That's how Real Foot Lake was formed, was from an earthquake.
Starting point is 01:07:51 From an earthquake right there? Yeah. I didn't even heard of this fault. I didn't know we were near one. Yeah. Oh yeah, people were talking about when the eclipse went over, they were saying the New Madrid fault line
Starting point is 01:08:03 was gonna be set off. So we were on high alert. It looks like we'd be right on the edge of pop community. Yeah. That's why I didn't want to go with you guys. Yeah. You guys went out there? Yeah. Because yeah, I don't want to be stuck out there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:19 Earthquake comes, Mississippi River floods. Nothing happened though. Yeah. So it was good. So there's a guy named. We took happened though. Yeah, so it was good. So there's a gunning. Finally took it over. Yeah. There's the earthquake. These are seismic events.
Starting point is 01:08:32 You know what would be funny is like, people like you, y'all have holidays, but it's like this kind of stuff. Yeah. Like where we... We do have dates to look out for. Yeah, I know. But it's like you have dates.
Starting point is 01:08:47 That would be funny as you go, if you went into like an office and you said, I'm gonna be here on Christmas, I'll be here on every of your American holidays, I have a list of dates that I would like to not be at. And they change yearly. Yeah. And that's like, I wonder if you could really go,
Starting point is 01:09:06 look, I'm here to tell ya. You know, it's like, someone comes in and goes, I celebrate this day, or I celebrate whatever. And you just go like, 4th of July, I'm gonna show up. I'm gonna work that day. I'll work all of your holiday. But I ask you, I need November 12th off, because the moon is gonna be near us.
Starting point is 01:09:29 And I just wanna be bunkered out. This is super blood moon. And people get wild. Yeah, people get wild. I gotta protect my friends. I wonder if you could really do that. Like if you could just go present a calendar. If you're cool about it, I think so.
Starting point is 01:09:43 Yeah, if you go, here's your calendar, here's your dumb Earthling calendar, here's mine. And I would like these days off. Yeah. I mean, it's, you know. It's 13 months in mine. You know what I mean? 28 days a month. No, it's 30 days a month.
Starting point is 01:09:58 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you go, yeah, what's this other month? He goes, yeah, that's going to be a little harder to do, but I'll give me, give me two Januaries and we can, yeah, I like that. I like that. They present, but you go, I'm going to be here. Like, you know, Thanksgiving weekend. I'll work when no one else wants to work. I'm right. You're taking all the shifts of why don't we work this Christmas? Guess what? I only want to work Christmas. Yeah. Because I'm going to need September, uh, 12 through the 15 off because that's when the bats migrate. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. And I, and you don't want to be caught outside. You don't want to be
Starting point is 01:10:31 caught outside with the bat movement because it's going to set off other things. Then we see you with radar and yeah. I like this. Yeah. I like, uh, everybody should have a dusty calendar where we know could we, would you let people know the dates? Like I would love to know some dates. Yeah, you let them know the dates, but you don't tell them why. You go just, I'll tell my wife, I'll go, hey, just this date, just, let's just, you know,
Starting point is 01:10:55 let's just be, you know, she don't even wanna know why. I would like to, yeah. Can we know like... I'll let you guys know the next time, something. Yeah. May of 2027, just make sure you have some ice. I'll just say that, throwing that out there. Some people are afraid of October.
Starting point is 01:11:11 They say there's some stuff coming in October. Of this year? Yeah. That's a big month. A lot of things come and go and nothing ever happens. So I don't, I just- I would say most come and go. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:11:22 But I just stay alert. But you never know. But you never know. You never go. Yeah, exactly. And I just stay alert. But you never know. But you never know. You never know. I like that. So everybody even listening should just know October. You should always be paying attention. Always pay attention, but buckle up.
Starting point is 01:11:33 Told to be sober and vigilant, you know what I mean? Yeah. So be looking around. Be looking around for October. Yeah. Yeah. Early October, late October? Just early October, yeah. Early, okay.
Starting point is 01:11:45 Yeah. All right. He knows exactly what hour it is. Feast of trumpets. Feast of trumpets is coming up too. And that's, you know, that's, you never know something might happen. What is that?
Starting point is 01:11:53 Well, that's a biblical holiday, but it could, you know, some stuff could happen. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Aaron Weber here. Let's talk about something we all deal with, bad hair days. But what if those bad hair days could be a thing of the past? With the iRestore Elite,

Starting point is 01:13:46 predicting Northern California's 1989 earthquake. His forecast relied in part on he went through the classified ads, local newspapers, and he found that unusual number of household pets were listed as missing the week leading up to it. And his argument is animals can sense when earthquakes coming. Oh yeah. They ran away. He was right. People were saying that about Yosemite right now. I think that a lot of videos are going
Starting point is 01:14:10 around to like animals- All running in herds away from stuff. Not necessarily, yeah, but leaving. Yeah. But they gave a week's notice, the animal? An earthquake gets cooking that early. But I mean, when was this? 1989. noticed the animal? Mm-hmm. A week, an earthquake gets cooking that early. I mean, when was this? 1989.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Yeah. I feel like dogs now are just, they lost that. Yeah. Oh yeah. The dogs have lost it. I mean, there's still dogs that do it, but a lot of the dogs people are buying. I mean, these doodles, they walking right on into an earthquake. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:42 You can't, yeah. You can't rely on a dog. Yeah. They learn about it two minutes after you do. Yeah. Like you can earthquake. Yeah, yeah. You can't, yeah, you can't rely on a dog. Yeah. They learn about it two minutes after you do. Yeah. Like you can't. Yeah. This ain't a Basset hound that can smell fear or something.
Starting point is 01:14:55 This says aftershocks can happen within days, weeks, or even years after the main event. That's convenient. At what point is it not its own earthquake? Yeah. A year later? That's someone that doesn't want to get into it. That's a scientist that goes, I got to get out of here. And he goes, I'll make up the word aftershocks. And then he wants to finish his. And they're like, what about the one tomorrow? He goes,
Starting point is 01:15:21 yeah, it's just like from the other one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A year later? Yeah, it's all part of it, man. I tell you, we're all aftershocks. Do you name earthquakes? Oh. Oh, earthquake hyena. Earthquakes not really, nothing about even a weather phenomenon, is it?
Starting point is 01:15:37 I don't think so. They're not routinely named like hurricanes are, but they're often identified by combination of the date and the region, like the, you know, the... Oh yeah. Like San Francisco earthquake. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I guess, I mean, if we had... How long can an earthquake last? Great question. I don't know. Yeah. Well, at least you're not looking stuff up for us. No, a few seconds to several minutes. The duration is related to the earthquake's magnitude. So small ones might only last a few seconds,
Starting point is 01:16:08 but like big ones, several minutes. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah, there's like people, there's a video of like some earthquake that happened. People were in a pool. They were in an affinity pool on top of a building. And you just see the, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:22 I think I've been on top of that building. Yeah. It was in Singapore. Maybe. I think it's a hotel. I, yeah. I think I've been on top of that building. Yeah. It was in Singapore? Maybe. I think it's a hotel. I, one time I went to Singapore, I didn't stay at the hotel, but we, it's a,
Starting point is 01:16:32 we went up to that, like there's a restaurant, we just went up it, we were leaving, but we just wanted to go see that hotel. All right, Dusty, I want to get your thoughts on this. Some people say, farmers, other things, you can tell how many snows we're going to have by the amount of black on a woolly worm. The longer the woolly worm's black bands, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. The wider the middle brown band is bands, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. The wider the middle brown band
Starting point is 01:17:07 associated with milder upcoming winter. I'm gonna be honest with you. 80% accurate. I believe it, but I have no idea. I do believe it though. I believe the farmers can really tell things. You know, like if you've been farming for, you know, your whole life and your father was a farmer and your grandfather
Starting point is 01:17:26 was a farmer, I think they know things. And that's why we have less family farms and people know less stuff. Well, but they're looking up stuff, Nat, like with science is like, you don't have to, because it's like all these methods were like, yeah, they're somewhat true, but then they were like 80% true
Starting point is 01:17:45 cause you're going to meet one worm that won't cooperate. And I think sometimes the old school stuff like this is, you know, more accurate. Why would this predict the winter? I don't know. What's, is there a scientific explanation? It's going to be cold. So it needs to be, But how does it know?
Starting point is 01:18:05 Needs to know. How does a wooly worm know? No, no, same way aftershock thing. Like no one knows. It's just fun to, you look at them, they're different. Just God put it on. Yeah, maybe the more black on the thing, it brings in more sunlight.
Starting point is 01:18:19 Well, you know, everything's getting like- To stay warmer. You're supposed to use like everything organic, like food, everything's not supposed to be messed with or touch with and all processed and everything. So like yeah, I'm sure there's you know It's the way like everything kind of perfectly works out. What was did it say a prediction for this year? I Did not look I think when you backed out of that or you I don't know you Whatever you do. Yeah, let's find out what's happening Yeah, I thought.
Starting point is 01:18:45 A wet heat, maybe we have a wet winter too. You know, a little wet cold. Keep watching it. Yeah. The special this winter. Yeah. Watch it again. This is the 2024, 2025.
Starting point is 01:18:55 They predicted. Yeah. Slow news day here. WCIA. But yeah, I guess people are, I've never heard of this. That's Nate. Yeah, there's heard of this. That's Nate. Yeah, there's Nate. Yeah, that's the name of the movie.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Yeah. Telling you what the weather was. I wonder, yeah, it's like, what's their prediction? I think farmers' Almanac every year predicts the winter, how many snows are going to have. And you read the farmers' Almanac? No, I only bought it for that, for the plastics thing. OK. I thought you had a subscription. No, it gets a little, it's a little. It's Almanac? No, I only bought it for that, for the plastics thing. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:19:25 I thought you had a subscription. No, it gets a little, it's a little- It's a little much? It's a little- Wow. Wow. New agey? Yeah. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:19:33 Yeah. Oh. Yeah. I'm not so into all that, but I got it for the plastics. You want the Farmer Almanac? Yeah. You don't want the Farmers. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:43 You'd rather, it would come from a guy. Yeah. You'd rather it come from a guy. Yeah. One farmer. I'd like a guy to give me a call. Yes. Yes. You would like a guy named Farmer Almanac and he goes, Dusty? And you go, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:55 He goes, we have four snows this year and he hangs up. Exactly. And then you just know. And then I know and so when we get to the third one, I can go, well, there's going to be one more. I don't know well, there's gonna be one more. I don't know when, but there will be one more. February 23rd, get underground. It's the farmer, and then it's farmer,
Starting point is 01:20:12 and then he goes, does this farmer, you go, Omany? Yeah, yeah. January 4th, get on the second floor of a building. They build a lot of underground stuff. What about the third floor? Don't go too high, don't go too low. Some people think that's the earthquakes a lot of times.
Starting point is 01:20:32 It's blasting under the earth to build, like Denver airport has a huge underground bunker of several stories. Okay. You know, they have a lot of underground highways and you know, even just, you know, building the interstate system, they had to blast a lot of mountains to,
Starting point is 01:20:50 I mean, the interstate system through the mountains is unbelievable. Yeah. I mean, like there's a bridge, like you're almost out of Alabama into Tennessee, you go over this long bridge, there's no, nobody talks about it, nobody's like, it's a cool bridge, but it's truly remarkable
Starting point is 01:21:09 how big the bridge is, how much ground it covers, and we just drive over it. We don't even think about it. Take it for granted every day. Yeah, it's unbelievable. When the interstates were built, I read this, it was truly supposed to be like for cross-country travel in between states. They never suspected that people would just use it like to go to work, things like that.
Starting point is 01:21:31 So yeah, it was a Cold War thing, right? Do you remember the interstates being honest? Isn't it like a lot of them were built in the eight seventies and eighties, right? No, I mean, maybe some, I think most were built in the 50s and 60s. My uncle, who's in his late 70s, remembers it. Oh, you do? Yeah. OK. Yeah, remembers the blasting and.
Starting point is 01:21:52 Wow, it was a Cold War thing, right? Yeah, even my dad's cousin would, to come from South Carolina to Alabama, it was all back roads back in the day, no interstates. I think Al Gore senior was the Person who led the charge Yeah, like when did interstate 40 get built? I think in 1960 because it went through our family Farm. Oh, wow. Yep. They stole your farm. Yep It's still my uncle's house is on one side and my grandparents Wow
Starting point is 01:22:22 Right, they stole your farm. Yep. They get paid. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's why I don't even need this job. I appreciate that road though. Yeah. Well, I do too, but yeah, it's like. Every time I go to Knoxville though,
Starting point is 01:22:34 I can see our homes over here and my uncle's house over here. Wow. Yep. That's unbelievable. The interstate system was designed primarily for national defense concerns during the Cold War. Now it's just used by civilians, but it was set up. What does that mean?
Starting point is 01:22:54 They go like, dude, push comes to shove. We got to be able to get around because there was, there's no, there's no way to quickly get from state to state if, if something went down. So there's need to. It's he say we can't have main roads? It's crazy is that it still can be approved upon because it's still very new. Yeah. I mean, the Interstate Highway Act of 1956, that's what authorized the interstate system, and included defense in its name, the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. So that, I mean, that was the goal when this was- Yeah, my dad was born in 55. So it's, uh, I mean, it's still like, that's what I mean is you,
Starting point is 01:23:31 that's where I think sometimes when people complain about stuff and you want to go, hey, it's, it's still pretty new. We're kind of learning on the fly. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's that, you know, it's, which I know you got to learn and improve, but sometimes it's like these interstates are terrible. I mean, I'll complain too, but it's like, yeah, man. Like picture, you look at my dad, we're still working. Like it's, you know, he's 70.
Starting point is 01:23:58 So, or about to, or will be, but it's, you're, you look at someone born in 1955, you're like, that's when we started the interstate and you want to go, and on top of that, population is exploding. And so you're like, everybody's like, yeah, we're keeping up with it and trying to go, but it's still a very new thing. That's when I, you know, when he thinks like everything's going to come to like, it's like, we're we're gonna get a all this stuff is gonna get crazy. I think we're still pretty far away from like that. Not so far, but it's I'd have a hard time for us to be like we would see it. And I think you know it's gonna be a few hundred years where it's it's just like taking over.
Starting point is 01:24:43 I hope so. a few hundred years where it's just like taking over. I hope so. I don't know. Cause stuff you read is once AI gets smart enough where they're making the decisions and it's gonna be exponential growth. Exponential growth like folding a piece of paper to the moon.
Starting point is 01:24:55 That's the moon thing. You know all about exponential growth now. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks. Just like adding paper every time. Just adding paper. Or folding it.
Starting point is 01:25:03 Yeah. Folding it. Yeah. Yeah. But a robot coulding it. Yeah. Folding it. Yeah. But a robot could fold it. Yeah. A little tiny hand. Because they're as big and as strong as, yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:11 There are some robots now that running, they're doing pretty good. Yeah. They're running pretty good. That one running down the hill, dressed like Adam Sandler. Yeah, that was a fun one. Yeah, I mean, they're doing pretty good.

They announced today in Nashville I believe it was supposed to announce Elon Musk company boring company digging a tunnel from downtown, Nashville to the Nashville
Starting point is 01:27:03 Are you revealing this news too early? Maybe, we'll strike it if it isn't. From where? From downtown to, yeah, I mean, that's what I'm saying. To the Nashville airport. Underground tunnels sounds like, oh, underground, but it's like they are, they do it all the time. There's underground tunnels everywhere.
Starting point is 01:27:21 And it's like they blast and then it shakes and then they go, oh oh it's an earthquake. Tunnel stuff, underground stuff terrifies me too. Yeah. I get trapped in the circle of like guys uh spelunking is that what it's called? Spelunking. Oh yeah. Spelunking whatever. Spelunking. You mean where they're crawling through? Crawling through these tight fitting caves and stuff. Spelunking that's that's shocking you didn't know that. What is spelunking? I think he has spelunking. I'm almost positive. Yeah. I believe you.
Starting point is 01:27:50 I just did. Watching you lose confidence in it in real time. Well, because you're, I'm like, you're so smart. Yeah. I'm nervous that I don't know what it is. Spelunking. And I think it's crazy that you called it something, but there is.
Starting point is 01:28:03 What did I call it? Sri Lanka? You sound dumb, Aaron. You sounded, yeah. But you watch videos of this. I guess you don't, but you don't listen to anybody that would go underground, you think. No, no, I like guys that go in space. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:16 I'm not trying to get guys. Fictional stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. These guys are the craziest. You watch these videos of them and it's just like. It is insane. It makes me sweat watching the craziest. You watch these videos of them and it's just like. It is insane. It makes me sweat watching the video. Yeah, it doesn't make sense when they get so trapped
Starting point is 01:28:32 in a thing where you're like. They get a rush from it. Yeah. I guess they're like, and I watched the video of a guy. He's talking about this in real time as he's like getting wedged in by this. And he's like, if you have to ask why I like to do this, you're never gonna get it. And I'm like, if you have to ask why I like to do this, you're never gonna get it.
Starting point is 01:28:46 And I'm like, you're probably right. I'm never gonna get it. And does he get out of it? Yeah, he gets out of it. What's the point of it? He's trying to get from one side of the, or just explore caves that haven't been explored. It's just like exploring the caves.
Starting point is 01:28:54 It's the same as hiking through the forest. I mean, I like that idea, but yeah, when it gets too tight like that, that freaks me out. Yeah, me too. Yeah, what is, when is the, this guy in McMinnville, McMinnville has some of the biggest caverns in the country, I think. And they, this guy was telling me that his uncle,
Starting point is 01:29:12 he was a guy at a museum. I went in the museum and the guy would not let me leave. And he said like, his great, great, great uncle discovered the cave and he got his, he got in there and his flashlight went out and he was trapped in there for weeks. And when they found him, he was like real messed up. Yeah, I bet.
Starting point is 01:29:32 Because he had no light for a long time. Man. And that's terrifying. What a nightmare. And the guy telling me had a glass eye and I was like, your family's been through a lot too. But Aaron, if you're downtown Nashville, you gotta get to the airport.
Starting point is 01:29:46 You're not taking this tunnel? I mean, I don't know. I have to- Well, if it's a subway system. You have to hear more about how they work. It's supposed to be deeper than subway. Yeah. And they're like just one lane and they're just- I think it may be-
Starting point is 01:29:58 I don't love it when I drive under, like going to New York or driving under a tunnel. I don't, I try, if I get in it and I'm thinking about it, I can mind my own business. But if not, if I start thinking about it, I don't love it. If I get an wreck in here, like you ever see this stuff, Sylvester Stallone movie, Daylight? That's where he goes under a tunnel and then an explosion happens and they get trapped under the tunnel, under the water. I might watch it tonight. It's good. I mean, it's old, but it's good.
Starting point is 01:30:31 If you guys had a chance to go out with a storm chaser, would you guys do it? Yes. Yeah. We got to offer this at some point. I would love to do it. I think we asked someone to do it. Yeah, I wanna do it.
Starting point is 01:30:44 Next time I'm in Oklahoma, I'm out there in November. Is that tornado season? I don't know, but if it is. Yeah, I would like to go out. You wouldn't, Dusty? No, no, I don't need adrenaline in my life. You got enough because every day you figure it's out to the end anyway.
Starting point is 01:31:02 Yeah, I don't need this. I'm already on edge. Yeah. Did you ever have to evacuate in Charleston for a hurricane? You figured out the end anyway. Yeah, I don't, yeah, I don't need this. I'm already on edge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you ever have to evacuate in Charleston for a hurricane? No, the whole time I was there, we never had a hurricane. We had some threats here and there, but never had a hurricane. Tropical storm, maybe.
Starting point is 01:31:15 They had a hurricane, Andrew maybe, came before I got there and it really destroyed things and then nothing the whole time I was there. We had some floods, I flooded a car, you know. You don't like a roller coaster or anything like that? No, not anymore. I used to like them, but I get vertigo now and I'm like, I tried to ride the carousel at the mall and I was all dizzy. Skydiving, nothing like that interests you at all? No, no, no. Okay. Skateboarding? Skateboarding, I wish I could do. I mean, I fell pretty early on in skateboarding.
Starting point is 01:31:46 I was like, I don't think this is for me. I'm not into that. I feel like I got farmer jeans and we're like, we're regular grounded people. Okay, all right. Literally like literally grounded. Yeah. I wish you had some farmer jeans right now.
Starting point is 01:32:00 Well, yeah, I am rocking the Ve'ori shorts. You got biker shorts huh? Hurricane Andrew hit southern Florida, the Florida Everglades and destroyed a Python, a place where they were keeping pythons and they got loose. We have havoc I think to this day. That's the reason why pythons are an invasive species. 900 pythons escaped and it wiped out rabbits, foxes. Yeah, because they got no predator. Raccoons, possums. And now I think they like pay people to collect pythons.
Starting point is 01:32:33 I think it's open hunting season for pythons all year round. I wonder if like when that happened though, like in the history of pythons, that they're in school and they go, let me tell you about a time it was great to be alive. And like there's a few pythons that just were like, dude, it was a day. That was the roaring 20s.
Starting point is 01:32:53 Yeah, the rolling early 90s. No one was bothering us. No one, we were just killing. Dude, just imagine eating whatever you want. Whatever you want. Going wherever you want. Sleep in the middle of the road. You have no predators. Where you wanna sleep?
Starting point is 01:33:08 Doesn't matter, sleep wherever you want. You can actually get some sleep. We actually got sleep back then cause nothing could come get us. Yeah. The Great Smog of London, 1952, was so bad that blind people had to help people with sight get home because they need the extra senses just to be able to maneuver their way. Wow. I bet they had a real
Starting point is 01:33:37 attitude about it too. Oh look who needs help now. Yeah. That's crazy. I think I told you guys this last time, but there's a firm in Abu Dhabi in the UAE that there's a freshwater shortage. So they want to take an iceberg from Antarctica and 20 billion gallon freshwater iceberg and push it to Abu Dhabi. All the way up to Abu Dhabi?
Starting point is 01:34:06 Yeah. Do they have the legal right to do that? Can you just go grab an iceberg from Antarctica or do you need global approval? I don't know. It talked about how the challenges of getting it there, it didn't mention if to get the law. I support it. It's big enough that you just want to see what's going on in Antarctica.
Starting point is 01:34:24 Yeah, I mean, it's like, but everybody's always worried about sea levels rising and it's like, take the icebergs, put them in the desert, give some people some water. And enough of it won't melt all the way. I wonder how long it would take to push it up there. That's quite a year, a whole year. I think so. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:41 Just a guy. Big tugboat. Tugboat. I was like, what did I just say? 20 billion gallons. Is it the size of like a mountain? Yeah, I mean, it must be. It must be that big. This is. Oh, there it is. Yeah, it's like that big. So it's like the size of a few football fields. And then it's like-
Starting point is 01:35:07 That's a city by it. It's not like it's, I feel like that's a waste cause you're going to get it there and you're like, how long will that water last? Every day you get to go grab a little handful from it. Yeah. I would think you got to dig a lake and push that thing in there.
Starting point is 01:35:22 I think so. You could throw a golf ball over that thing a couple of times, couldn't you? But it's just, it's just going away saying article, right? Let's go grab it. Yeah. Let's go get it. I think Nate joked last time that by the time it got there, it would just be like a little cube of ice.
Starting point is 01:35:37 Just putting your drink and, ah, that was refreshing. Anything good? Yeah. Well, what happened? We want to talk about what happened this weekend. Oh yeah. With the weather stuff. Let's hear about it. Yeah. Well, I guess we've really made it. We've set it up more than we had. There was just a crazy storm. Yeah. We were in last night, Saginaw, Michigan, and then Milwaukee and then St. Paul, Minnesota
Starting point is 01:36:00 for the last two nights. And so we were in, so last night there was just a crazy storm that went through Minnesota, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minneapolis area, Twin Cities area. And yeah, I didn't, it was in the news? Oh yeah, there was tons of write ups about it. Oh wow, I didn't know that. Yeah, so yeah, Sunday Storm calls delay the concert, uh, the show because we like all the power, like it was like the power went out when Aaron was on stage.
Starting point is 01:36:34 I don't know what happened when you went on, when that happened on stage. I was in my bus. It was a, it was a normal show. We were watching golf and they were talking about the local weather in St. Paul. And we were like, Oh, there's a storm coming, but you figure we're in an arena, we're going to be fine. We're indoors. It's stundering. It's raining, but we're inside.
Starting point is 01:36:53 Right. And then the show's going normally. I walked on stage immediately. The lights all flicker, but they come back to normal. And then I'm like, all right, I keep going. And then about a minute into my set, every light in the arena comes on. Completely. It was like, I don't know what's happening.
Starting point is 01:37:10 And you don't realize how, I mean, how many lights were off until they're all back on. And you're like, oh, it's a completely different. So I'm looking around like, am I supposed to leave? Is there an emergency happening? I have no idea what's going on. I see Joe Zimmerman and Lachlan off the side of the stage and they're both giving me a thumbs up. So I thought, I thought at the moment they had some authority to, they had zero
Starting point is 01:37:33 authority, they were just going, you're doing great, but I thought, okay, I'll keep going. So I finished my set in broad daylight in the arena, commented on a little bit. Um, a lot of thunder, a little bit of the mic cutting in and out or whatever. And then, and then as soon as I got off stage, I was walking down the steps, announcement comes on and says that there's a weather delay. We have to postpone the show, but I don't know what was happening
Starting point is 01:37:58 backstage while I was doing that. Like what discussions were happening? Was it just like, uh, that, I mean, it was like, something fried the electric board or the emergency lights and it was like that kind of thing, like where it was, like that article, I don't know if I even realized at the time, but there was like two and a half inches of rain fell, like, I mean, it was insane, Aaron Weber, the fifth.
Starting point is 01:38:21 Oh, oh, that's cool. Yeah. The Minnesota Star's cool. Yeah. The Minnesota Star Tribune. Yeah. They gotta hold out, so there's a shot of the- Yeah, we had to put that up. Sorry folks, the show will resume shortly. Yeah, folks.
Starting point is 01:38:36 Yeah, so it just, about an hour. And it was like, we thought it'd be like 10 minutes, 15 minutes, and then it just kept, they, you know, everybody, I shout out to all the people there because everybody handled it unbelievably well. They were having fun with it. They were doing the wave at one point. No rioting, looting.
Starting point is 01:38:56 No, no, they were doing the, no. People kept emailing. In 20 minutes. Aaron looted a little. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But people kept emailing saying, Aaron Aaron looted a little. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But people kept emailing saying, Aaron sucked the energy out of the room. I'm like, yeah, get it.
Starting point is 01:39:10 Oh, come on. It was, yeah, it was crazy. It was like, and then to go do a show too, where it's like, they had to turn the lights off, but then there's one section that the lights, the emergency lights stayed on. They couldn't get them off because those were fried from whatever,
Starting point is 01:39:27 it was the lightning and thunder, it was just an insane storm that came through, and it started hitting when Lachlan was on stage, Lachlan Patterson, and then it just went air, and like it's funny, because I don't think I really noticed it, and then maybe I came back, and I was like seeing, when you're up there, I'm like, what's funny, because I don't think I really noticed it. And then maybe I came back and I was like seeing, when you're up there, I'm like, what's going on?
Starting point is 01:39:48 Like, why are the lights on? I asked for it. I said, get those lights up. I want to see the people. Yeah. Where'd you start throwing the ball? That was during the delay. We were all just kind of hanging out.
Starting point is 01:40:00 People were recognizing me and it was not during the show. Yeah. Let's get it started. You could be like the ball guy. That's what you do now. people would recognize me and I thought it was not not during the show. Let's get it started. You could be like the ball guy. That's what you do now. Yeah, I've become the ball guy. Unfortunately, I'd like a different name for it. But yeah, yeah, ball boy. It ended up being like, everybody handled it very well. And it was everybody's so nice. And it was ended up being you know, we ended up having a great show and all this. And yeah, we just went through the phases. You know, went through the, yeah, I mean, it was like,
Starting point is 01:40:32 I always picture like, it's like one, they're trying to get the electrical stuff all working. It's like one guy that's like working on it. No one, no, yeah, it's like, he's doing like his best, but we don't have contact to, you know, it's like no one, you don't even, it's just such a big thing. And it was like the, but I mean, they- So we were just waiting back there for clearance
Starting point is 01:40:54 from the arena to get the show started. And then the rest of the show was great. It was kind of fun, because everybody's been through something. It was kind of a fun moment. And then Julian was so great. He had to go up and restart the show after 30 minutes. All the momentum dead, obviously.
Starting point is 01:41:10 And then he had to go up and he did a great job re-hosting. He brought up the guy, so the guy had sunglasses on. And then- A guy in the crowd. The crowd had sunglasses on earlier in the show. So he says, why do you have sunglasses on? So then Julian very funnily goes, dude, it's great that you brought
Starting point is 01:41:25 sunglasses because now it's a bright show. He's like, yeah, I want to apologize. You're the only guy who came prepared. And it's like, it just tied in perfectly. Did you hear who that guy was? That was the lead singer of Ario Speedwagon. Wow. In the front row, nobody recognized him. Wow. He's on the Jumbotron multiple times. I think they did then when they saw him in the Jumbotron. You think the crowd recognized him? I don they did then, when they saw him on the Jumbotron. Like people- You think the crowd recognized him? I don't, not in a big cheer. I mean, no one, just the context of it, no one really did it.
Starting point is 01:41:50 But what's funny is Julian went and talked to him because Julian is a giant music fan and all this. There's just no one, there's no reason you're gonna think that's the lead singer of R.O.'s Speedwagon in the front row. But he was, yeah, he was awesome. Like he put the sunglasses on, he gave big thumbs up. And like it was, and then, yeah, I mean,
Starting point is 01:42:10 if Julian would have known that, Julian would have wore this guy down with questions. So yeah, but yeah, Julian killed it, dude. Like, I mean, he, you know, that many people and all this, it was just, it was handled very well by the arena, by Julian, by everybody sitting in those seats having to wait around. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:33 It's a weird reminder, tying it back to weather. Like this is this huge world-class arena. It's the biggest comedy tour in the world. And then Mother Nature can just go, yep, we're taking over. Put it stopped. Yeah, it's still in control. Whether you never know what's going to happen. Yeah. I'll throw out a few more little facts here.
Starting point is 01:42:53 And a rain drops terminal velocity, 18 miles per hour. Oh, okay. That's good. If it were any faster, it would start to hurt after a while, right? Yeah. If you ever ride like a four wheeler or a motorcycle and it's raining and it starts hitting you, really like, yeah, it's like pins stabbing you, yeah. I just saw a thing today.
Starting point is 01:43:12 Do you remember hearing that you get less wet if you walk through the rain than if you run? I have heard that. Apparently Mythbusters did that and they confirmed that you're better off walking through the rain than running. Why? Well, I don't know. There's no way if it's like from your car to the house. But then they went back and did an update years later and were like we were actually wrong about that you should run.
Starting point is 01:43:39 I love the MythBusters being wrong. The arrogance of these guys to be like, oh, actually guys, actually. Mythbusters. Yeah, it's like, no, you don't know what you're talking about. It's like trust your instincts a little bit. Obviously run, if you're in the rain less, you know. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:57 Yeah, like, do you even know what the reasoning was, why people thought that was true? I don't know. I think you're just, you're hitting every rain drop if you're running. So you'll miss some if you go slower. Maybe, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. I think you're just, you're hitting every rain drop if you're running. So you'll miss some if you go slower. Maybe, I don't know. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:44:10 The air located around a lightning bolt heats up to 54,000 degrees, five times hotter than the surface of the sun. Cook something quick then. Yeah. I really fry it up. How do people even survive that then? I think a lot of them don't I think the people do survive I think it's just a dead-on hit from one sometimes but I don't think very yeah I think I think it kills you pretty I mean you can get like nicked by one
Starting point is 01:44:40 Yeah, but I think a dead-on hit will kill you right probably 54,000 degrees that's so, if it's just for a second. I mean, I guess so, but that feels pretty lethal. You just feel a little toasty. How do they know how hot it is on the sun? What was that? Who was that? How hot it, what does it,
Starting point is 01:45:02 how hot it is on the sun? The heat index. There's a formula. Yeah. Plato knew it. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I think they're like, it's pretty hot.
Starting point is 01:45:15 Yeah. I'd say it's 10,000 degrees. It's like they wrote this answer for Dusty to be skeptical of it. The Sun's temperature is determined through a combination of theoretical models and observational data. Yeah. Well, everyone should be skeptical of that. It's spectroscopy.
Starting point is 01:45:40 They get into it after that. Yeah. They analyze the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun, and then they can determine its effective temperature. Yeah, but that's something that you're not on board with to begin with, you're not gonna get on board after you keep reading. You're stopping at theoretical, and you go,
Starting point is 01:45:56 all right, nobody knows what this is. You're stopping at the idea that there even is a sun's temperature. But theoretical should have us all going, all right, so you don't know then. No, yeah, I know what you mean. I mean, everybody should go, all right, well, you maybe got an idea, but you don't know.
Starting point is 01:46:13 You got a theory. Yeah. What is the temperature of the sun? The temperature of the sun is, the sun's surface typically measures around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That's what I said. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:46:27 Not that bad. The core of the sun is going to be about 15 million degrees Celsius, which is 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. So that's a pretty big difference. Yeah, it gets pretty hot. 10,000 to 27 million. Imagine the thermometer that it would take to get in there and measure that, you know? How many paper folds?
Starting point is 01:46:46 Yeah. I mean, that thermometer is heavy duty. I want some stuff built onto that thermometer. You can tell the temperature outside by counting the crickets chirps. Count the number of chirps in 14 seconds and then add 40 to get the temperature. Wow.
Starting point is 01:47:03 Crickets. I think I've heard that. That's how they tell what the sun's core is. They take some crickets up there. Yeah. See that to me, I mean, that's a way less useful fact than folding paper to the moon. That's the kind of stuff for like,
Starting point is 01:47:18 what's the point of that? Well, imagine there's some crickets. Yeah, but you're outside, you have no electricity, all goes away. You go, man, I'd love to know the exact temperature in Fahrenheit right now. And then you just listen to a cricket. Before phones, if you're out working,
Starting point is 01:47:32 you're like, just count. Is it too hot to be out here? Yeah. And then the cricket goes. It's ridiculous. What a waste of time. Yeah. What a waste of time.
Starting point is 01:47:40 That's actually, you actually solve it. So that's actually a solution. You get to the end of the solution. Yours is just like, you say it and you go, what do you wanna do now? And you go, I don't know. Okay. Like that's at least, at least the guy goes, well,
Starting point is 01:47:57 I've learned something. You've learned something, you have something, you're, and then you're sitting, eating grapes, going, oh, what if we folded all the bowls in the world and they reached to the, you know, everybody's like, you just come in, nothing gets done. Nick, you want to go? He's like, we got to hold the dig.
Starting point is 01:48:19 You go, well, how deep is the hole? We folded all the core of the earth. Is it really about- If the hole got twice as deep every day, how long before it gets to the moon? How far do we get to the other side? And you go, well, it's not gonna get like that if you keep bringing up these hypothetical. It takes a snowflake 45 minutes to an hour
Starting point is 01:48:40 to hit the ground. Depends on where it starts from. Yeah. Depends on where the ground is. Yeah. It depends on where the ground is. Yeah. Lightning strikes the Empire State Building. I wanna be that 15 minutes off. Some I guess just come out of higher clouds.
Starting point is 01:48:52 Yeah, some just go higher. Maybe it has some aerodynamic differences. Or hits a mountain. Yeah. Lightning strikes the Empire State Building around 25 times a year. Does it hurt people? No.
Starting point is 01:49:07 The building just absorbs it. It's got a rod up there, right? I wonder if they harness it. You think they can harness that electricity? Did the rod? Shoot it back and dim the sun. You guys know the hottest and coldest place on earth? Death Valley.
Starting point is 01:49:20 Is it the hottest place? Dusty? Hottest place. Is this counting the heat index? I think it's Death Valley too weirdly. Cause I think, for some reason I think it's Death Valley. And then, I mean, the coldest is. It's gotta be Antarctica.
Starting point is 01:49:34 Is it two different places? It is two different places. Coldest place gotta be Antarctica. Yeah. You guys are correct. Antarctica's coldest, Death Valley's the hottest. It got up to 130 degrees there at one time. Yeah, it's crazy because Death Valley's here.
Starting point is 01:49:47 I know. You would never think somewhere in the US. It's 110 degrees right there now. Zero, yeah, six percent humidity. It's a dry. Maybe some other countries lie about their temperature. The hottest country in the world is Burkina Faso. I figured that. Or maybe
Starting point is 01:50:05 other countries are also telling their countries, their people, that they have the hottest place. All right, is that really something to brag about though? Do you think so? I mean that means that we were pretty proud of it that it was the United States that we had it. I was excited. Yeah. So what's the country that's the hottest? Burkina Faso. Where's that at? I've never even heard of it. It's located in West Africa.
Starting point is 01:50:28 Okay, that makes sense. Well, we gotta give them something. Yeah, it's hot. It's hot there. It's a wet heat. It's a wet heat. Is it a wet heat, you think? I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:50:36 It's a wet heat everywhere right now. As long as you have a Netflix account. If you're in Burkina Faso, watch Dusty Special. Yeah, please do. I think you're going to enjoy it. I mean, it's, you know, universal appeal. Yeah. And then Thursday, go watch Lee and Morgan's new show. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's fun. Man, big week for Netflix. Big week for Netflix. Big week for Nate-land. I mean, you know. The Nate-land universe. The Nate universe. Yeah, there's a yeah
Starting point is 01:51:06 Actually, I watched happy Gilmore too. And I now I'm blanking on his name, but the guy that was on the podcast is in more Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's cool. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah All right Yeah, where you gonna I'm in Madison, Wisconsin This Friday Saturday, this is Brian Bates speaking. I am in Goshen, Indiana at the Funny Farm Comedy Club. Oh, driving? It's just easier to drive.
Starting point is 01:51:34 Yeah, it is. It is. The last two weeks, that's been true. Hattiesburg, Stroop flew into New Orleans and caught a ride with somebody. And Andrew flew into Jackson and rented a car and I drove it. So it's no easy way, but there's no easy way to get to Goshen either. You have to fly to South Bend or something. Yeah, it's easier to drive. Yeah, but even South Bend was like layovers and there's nothing easy.
Starting point is 01:51:59 It's easier to drive. August 17th, I'm at Levity Live in Huntsville, Alabama. Here they've lowered the price on the food there. And drinks. Oh, and drinks, okay. And August 31st, Zany's in Chicago. Oh, awesome. Come out for that six o'clock show.
Starting point is 01:52:17 You'll be home before dark. Love it. At 16 and up, I asked for 13 and up, and they're like, we can't do that, but we'll do six. And they were like, it sounds weird they even asked that. Yeah. I asked that for all my shows. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:30 I'm like. He goes 16 and down. And I go, well you can't. Greg Warren encouraged me to do that. Yeah. Because he does a kids show. Yeah. And yeah, so I'm always pushing.
Starting point is 01:52:42 It's great, just people with families coming out. Yeah. Exactly, exactly. So for some reason they said, we're usually 21 and up, so I'm always pushing. It's great. Just people with families coming out. Exactly. Exactly. So for some reason they said, well, usually 21 and up, but we'll do 16. I don't know what between 13 to 16 matters, but anyway, if you look close to 16, come. If you, yeah, cause you have no ID. Yeah. If you can park a car, 16, you have a driver's license.
Starting point is 01:52:58 You can park a car in the parking lot. You can come on in. Or if you look like you could park your car. Yeah. Let's just say they're going to let you in. I'm going to ask that you be let in. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:53:09 Uh, August 22nd, 23rd, I'm in Lowell Arc DeZarenweber. I'm in Lowell, Arkansas at the Grove Comedy Club, throwing out the first pitch at the minor league baseball game there. We're going to see it. Saturday. Yeah. I'm going to, it's just a little warmup for the real, the real deal. Do a golf ball. Yeah. I might talk to it's just a little warmup for the real deal. Do a golf ball.
Starting point is 01:53:27 I might talk to him, see if I can. Who's the team? It's the Northwest Arkansas, they're the Travelers. Nice. That's a good name. It's minor league, yeah, it's a good one. So come check me out in Lowell, Arkansas. Okay, all right, well, couple of things.
Starting point is 01:53:42 Wet Heats on Netflix right now, so go watch that. And then August 6th, I'm at the Comedy Store in LA. And then I think it's August 6th.
