Hello, folks. All right. Good. Welcome to Nate Land. Also, we did want to thank, give everybody that shoot, the guys, Genovations Media does this podcast for us. And they're happy to do a lot of stuff. They did this, which is unbelievable.

You know, our printing company actually did it probably. And they went and grabbed it. My wife, Laura, is here somewhere. She's producing the podcast. We've had no fights today. Pretty good day. I haven't been home. Yes, welcome.

If anybody's listening at home, this is the live podcast here in Nashville, Tennessee. It's Zany's. Very limited capacity. Who's going to say this stuff? There's like eight people here. It's, you know, we can't get insurance. People say that a lot.

They go, we can't get insurance. I never know what it means. Yeah, what does that mean? You know, they they go we can't get insurance i never know what it means but yeah what does that mean you know they go we can't insure that we don't have insurance just in general like in life or for just for auto stuff no i'm talking about like if you did events they go can we do that it's liability insurance yeah we can't get the insurance like if i backed up and fell off the stage, I might sue you. That would be tough, yeah. And I'll be honest with you, it'd be hard to have you back on the podcast.

I would try it, for sure. I wouldn't remind you more about Planet Fitness ever again. I would definitely let that go. But, you know, I've never been sued. What's it about?

Have you ever been sued? Have you been in your times? What? Just throughout the years, I don't know, you've probably been sued a couple times. No, never have.

Channel 5, did they get sued? Yeah, I'm sure they did. All the time? Nothing I did, though. What? Nothing I did, though. What? Nothing I did. Oh.

That'd be great if it was responsibly because of you. All right, we're going to, as always, we're going to start with some of the comments from you guys. Oh, we got them. Here we are. So, starting smooth. L. Peter, I teach junior high and high school English. And Nate, you're a great role model for kids who are afraid to read out loud. Making strides, you know.

I have genuine respect. Why would he use the word genuine? I have genuine respect for the fact that you are committed to those comments. Keep up the fun, you guys. I've been laughing since episode one, mostly with Aaron, who is a cry-laugher like I am. People like that. Griffin Bryant. One of my favorite parts of the podcast is having to explain to my friends that Nate isn't playing a character,

One of my favorite parts of the podcast is having to explain to my friends that Nate isn't playing a character, but generally knows that little about every topic. The good news is that it makes the show even better. Keep up the good work. You know, I get that a lot with like if I like, you know, when I've ever pitched TV shows and stuff and they go, you know, obviously like a character and I'm like, yeah, yeah. I just have to go with it. Like your standup's like,

you're not like that regular. I was like, nah, dude, I'm pretty on point and regular. Like, you know. But that's all being, now that's all. Everybody gets it now. I get a lot of people that are like,

why don't you call Nate out for some of these things? And I'm like, dude, that would be the whole show if we just, we got to pick and choose. And then they think I purposely put in hard words for you. I don't. If anything, I scale it down. Yeah.

Yeah. Keep an eye out. We've had two genuinely so far. Genuinely. A general Lee is what it's now. General Robert E. Lee. a general lee is what it's not general robert e lee i generally knows that little genuine i could say genuine it's the lee that's the that's a lot you know like if i wrote that in a text i would have well i would write generally in the text because i

don't have to say it your phone would help you out with that too a text, I would have, well, I would write generally in the text because I don't have to say it. Your phone would help you out with that too, a little bit, you know? Yeah, my phone, you know, but sometimes it does. Have you ever like done, I just did it with something and I was like, and I didn't know how to spell it, but I could get it going. You know, like I, I knew with the word, I was like, I could get, I could get a run at it. And then I was hoping that would be caught by my phone. And I started, and I deleted it, then I started again. And it was like the word, the phone just was like, oh, I've never heard of this word. I'm like, dude, we just started this word, and you gave it to me. And then I accidentally deleted it.

All right. Chris Stroud. I'm 38 and couldn't believe shay is only 29 but i also have a tendency to assume anyone more successful than me is older by those standards i assume big lots baits is younger than me i thought it was going to go the other way. No, he needs to hear it. Let him hear it. Shea is, it is crazy. I always remind, like, he's 20, he's so young. Because he'll make fun of me being old. And then I'm like, I do.

I think it's like whatever. And then I'm like, I'm a lot older than him. Well, I would tell Chris, at 38, I was more successful than I am now. So that's what he has to look forward to. Oh, yeah. that it goes down. It goes the other way. It goes the other way. You were crushing it at 38. Yeah.

Big Lots is great, by the way. Big Lots Bates. I feel like we walked over that, but that's a great name. Big Lots Bates. Big Lots Bates. I don't like looking across the table and seeing you. You know, this is weird. I usually.

Yeah, you used to me right here. Yeah. I raised the seat up. There you go. While y'all bannered, I raised the seat up. I let y'all carry the show for a second, and it was a huge mistake. You saw what happened.

Can't do it, can't get a break. Heather Moore, I'm a nurse practitioner and my days are very mentally taxing i appreciate you guys so much as an escape and a lot of laughs to and from work also i didn't i don't think aaron has gout oh right uh they would have been able to see it on the x-ray they did in the ER. Plus, it would have been red, hot, and wouldn't have gone away as quickly. However, if he's worried about developing gout, watch your red meat and alcohol consumption. What if I'm worried about him getting gout?

It was red and hot. Oh, it was? Yeah. So you did have gout. But the x-ray didn't see it. Maybe he had just a tiny case of it. Can you have a little case of gout? Or is it just like a little pinch of it?

You know, you can sometimes have like a little breakout. But is gout like you either got it or you don't? You know? Yeah, that's a good question. It's not like a pimple, dude. Like it's a real medical thing, right? Yeah, it's just not a very flattering name. It's a real medical thing, right?

Yeah. It's just not a very flattering name. Gout's, it's not a good one to walk in and they go, he's got gout. Yeah. Like that sounds like, oh no. Is he going to, like if someone doesn't know what it is, and I was like, he's got gout, I'd be like, oh God. When's the service?

You know, you just assume like I would send flowers to the yard. And you're like, no, no, no, it's like a little foot thing. It's not a big deal. I'm like, oh, they should change that word. All right, we have some audience submissions. Oh, you skipped one. Oh, I skipped one. Oh, a big one.

Kennedy Chezik. A few months back, I was driving home across Wyoming from... All right, hold on. I got this. All right. A few years back, I was driving home across Wyoming from Montana to Omaha. I was listening to the podcast when the nose whistling was first an issue. Being a young woman traveling alone, I was very worried about something possibly being wrong with my car and breaking down in the middle of nowhere. I pulled over on the side of the road and looked for what could be wrong.

I searched all over on the verge of a complete panic attack before I realized what it was. I think about this from time to time and it still makes me laugh. Man, let me tell you something. I drove from new york to la and went through wyoming and i mean that's a that's a scary to pull over there it's it's the most alone you feel yeah because the sky you know isn't a big sky i mean they talk about that it's not like look hi guys i'm not making this up's got a big, it's a bigger sky there. And it's tough, dude.

Like, you're just out in the middle of nowhere, dude. I remember I pulled over because I was like, I wanted to see the stars and all this stuff. And I could only do it for a few minutes. And I was like, I got to go. It's like, it's overwhelming and you feel, it's scary. Well, Kennedy, I want to say I'm sorry i scared you to death yeah but i'm glad you're okay that evened it out for her she probably appreciates that you know uh thanks bagel bites uh All right. Some audience submissions. Catherine Rom.

Yeah? She left early? Since everyone is married or engaged, I would like to know what they think the secret to dating over 40 is. What makes a good profile? What makes men want to have a date with a woman? Well, we have someone that is kind of good at this question. He's had, I don't know, eight years of a go at it.

Well, like I said, I got married at 48. My wife was 43. She had a very pleasant profile because women in their 40s, are you in your 40s, Catherine? Yes, 43. All right, there we go. Oh, the same age. I mean, she's much older than me because I'm 42. So never mind, we're not the same. What are you talking about? My wife had a pleasant, women in their 40s, they've been through a lot and they're jaded. You can see it in their profile. Like you can.

I mean, they'll tell you. They're like, first thing you need to know is my children come first. And then my dogs, and the Lord, if you can't handle them, you can't handle me.

And I'm like, are we already fighting? I feel like I'm in trouble. So I would say keep it pleasant. Keep it upbeat. Don't talk about rock climbing. We don't care. Just be realistic.

Was your profile picture a picture of you on stage with a microphone? No. It wasn't? It was me with my shirt off. You don't know what's underneath here. Let him know what's up. You don't know. I could see. Let him know what's up. You don't know. I could see it's probably not a bad body.

Like, it's like a body that's like, all right. You comfortably take your shirt off when you go to the beach? Not comfortably, but... Yeah. I'll do it. Yeah. What are you, long shirt? I don't go to the beach.

Yeah. You just don't even go. I haven't been to the beach in years. What about a pool? What if you have Long shirt? I don't go to the beach. You just don't even go. I haven't been to the beach in years. What about a pool? What if you have a pool party? I can't remember the last time I swam in a pool. Me and my fiancee, we're going to Alaska for our honeymoon. That's how far away I wanted to get from a beach situation.

You're going to Alaska. That's pretty... I want to put a jacket on. That's what I want to do. What about that swimming class in college? Oh, that was... Oh, man. That was the worst.

Yeah. Did you keep your shirt on? No, you couldn't. Do you have... I just wore basketball shorts, and you have to stand in this huge line with all these girls you just met, and you're just standing there,

and you, like, move up one step at a time. And I was so tired when I got out of the pool that i just collapsed my legs just yeah i collapsed that's so embarrassing i think about fainting a lot how awful that would be just to everybody's got to be over you're like you're okay and you're like i'm mortified right now like that's i always think about on stage sometimes you don't eat before you get on stage, and you can get a little lightheaded when you're up here. And then you're like, dude, if I pass out on this stage, I mean, I would move to Alaska.

That's how I would handle it. When you recorded The Tennessee Kid, you did like a crazy diet leading up to it. And I was worried about you. It didn't seem like it was a good time. But it was like, was it an all-smoothie diet, I think? Yeah, it was only smoothies. I read a book.

I found it at the airport. It said, you only eat smoothies. And I was like, all right. And it had all these smoothie recipes. And I did it leading up. I did it through the special because it was like a 30-day thing. And then the last day I didn't do it was when I went to the Tonight Show to promote that Tennessee kid. I could eat that night.

And so even up to that – the Tonight Show was the only one that I was pretty nervous about because I got kind of used to it. And then the Tonight Show was like – I was like really – I didn't get a smoothie because I wasn't at home and I couldn't make one. And so I didn't get one. And I was like, man, this is bad. Like I'm going to pass out on the Tonight Show. And then I went and ate that night

and then gained it all back in about five days. That's those diets. You're like, I feel great. And then a week later, you're like, I think I'm heavier than I was before. Michael Birdwell. All right. I like, dude, are you, you're like, I think I'm heavier than I was before. Michael Birdwell. All right. I like, dude, are you, you're Michael?

That's great. He's a fan of Michael. Yeah. He's like, all right, you thought everybody was going to kind of go on board with it? Yeah. Yeah. No, I mean, I thought everybody was too. I mean, everybody, almost like they have something against you.

Who wins in a cage match to the death among you three and why? Yeah. I mean, yeah, he's gone, dude. I would almost just talk to Aaron and say the opposite of eating. Who would eat? You know, when we talk about cannibalism who would eat who right right and you said who's gonna eat who first yeah it's your i think it was your call on when you start eating people uh but in a cage i think i would pull you and be like let's just

get this over with yeah and then we can then we can have a go team up against brian just to get it over with right you know what i mean and then we would have a go because i up against Brian? Just to get it over with. Right. You know what I mean? Then we would have a go. Because I think it'd be me and you fighting. You are in better shape than me, Brian. I got the nose whistle, so. That's the signature move? Yeah. I think he's already given up.

You know? Like, you're gonna be, you got your whole life ahead of you. And he's like, he's really going to be worth it? I think Brian might say, if you do it quick, I'll let y'all do me first. He might be right about that. The compromise that he would give.

So that's what I would think. And then I think I would win. No, I don't know if I'd win. I think I'd see your old football. You ever been in a fight, Nate? Like a bar fight or something like that? No, not really. I think I'd see your old football. You ever been in a fight, Nate, like a bar fight or something like that? No, not really. I got into I remember I got in a fight. I remember when I was a kid, some kid was like kind of bullying my brother, I think.

And my dad was like, you need to go like defend him. And I remember I pushed him and I think I hit him like twice. And I think he just laughed when I hit him. Like, I remember that. Like, just my dad was like, you got to go defend your brother. So I remember that. And then now that's about it. Yeah.

Have you been in a bunch of fights? I've been around them. Yeah. I've never been a major player in one. Yeah, you know how to stay in the background. I was doing karaoke with a buddy in college, and somebody jumped him on stage. Wow. And so I just kind of jumped on top of that guy.

Yeah. And we knocked over the karaoke machine. What was the song? I mean, somebody was upset. It's a Limp Bizkit. That's what we were doing. It was The Weight by The Band. And I'll tell you, that's like a 14-minute song.

That's probably why they were made. Oh, yeah, totally. And they didn't like us too much. I think I'm on those guys' side, to be honest. Like, yeah, once you get some details out. Once you start verse seven, people are like, all right, dude, it's time to get off stage. Yeah, and then he goes, let's fight them.

Andy Apples. Alpers. Alpers. Alpers. All right. Michael threw your bone. He knows what it feels like. So he goes, I'll do it.

It took you three tries, though, before they realized it was them. I'm saying their name looking at their face, and they still are like, I don't know. It's like, Costanza Cartwright? Cartwright? When Seinfeld characters are you guys most like and why? You can do the same question with The Office. I see Nate as Frank Costanza, Brian as Newman, and Aaron as the little kid that Jerry could cuss in front of

so he keeps using cuss words all the time and somehow it's Jerry's fault. I'd like a character with a name. You know, that might be a good place to start. Well, I mean, Remember that extra

in episode three of season four? He had a big part of that episode. Yeah. You know, but you were on the screen. Well, you could be Newman for some obvious reasons,

but, oh, they turn on me? Yeah. Me of all people you turn on. Yeah. Oh,

come on. I see Brian as a stale. I think, Frank, I mean, that's good for you because of the rants. Yeah.

But also, and I see this, there's a lot of Kramer because you always have some news, like every episode, you're like, I'm giving up Diet Cokes, guys. That's the way to go. And then the next episode, sugar, Jerry, sugar. Sugar's the thing you got to cut out. Diet Cokes are back. I know.

They're back, baby. I'm loving every second of it. Yeah, they're amazing. Yeah, I agree with all that. I love that none of us is the stand-up comedian. Yeah, obviously. That is pretty funny. Like, not one person's Jerry.

I thought I would be Jerry. Yeah, you could be Jerry. The office, you would be Michael. Yeah. And I'd be Toby. Yeah, that's for sure. That's pretty good. Yeah. That's for sure. That's pretty good. Phyllis.

They laugh at yours and they grow mine. Well, I know how to tell a joke. Give me Bob Vance. What did you say? Maybe Kevin? Give me Bob Vance at least. You know why they laugh? Because Phyllis is obviously a joke You make it too real If I was going to make it real

You would be Kevin Why would that be? Because like monotone? Kevin's not strong with words That's true Then you'd be Creed Old man That's true. Then you'd be Creed, old man. That's true.

That's true. You would be, I don't know. Matt Cox. All right. Aaron, if you haven't canceled your gym membership yet, can I urge you not to? I'm 99% sure we belong to the same gym, and I've just started working out to try to get into better shape. If you'd like, we can be gym buddies. I need someone to hold me accountable to going, and it looks like you do too. Where's this guy at? Yeah, we're about to

see another fight. The gym is not too shabby, and there are plenty of ellipticals. There you go. What is it? Ellipticals. Ellipticals. You had it. Yeah. That would be a better word for gout, to go, I have an elliptical.

And you're like, oh, yeah, I had some of that too recently. People would be proud to talk about it. People don't want to talk about gout because it sounds terrible. Too recently. People would be proud to talk about it. People don't want to talk about gout because it sounds terrible. Yeah. They have plenty of ellipticals and stationary bikes that wouldn't be too hard on the gout.

Nice. Let me know what you think. Well, he's right here. You guys going to start working out together? Where's Matt? Yeah, what's up, dude? You want to do push-ups outside after the show? Me and you, let's get our base levels up. Pound for pound?

The one in madison you know what the problem with that one is it's right next to my favorite restaurant bailey and kato is right there on the corner wow and uh i just end up going there yeah what is bailey and Kato? It's like a meat and three restaurant. Yeah, it's awesome. We need to go down there. I know. Let's go down there.

We'll go there. Swing by Planet Fitness. Yeah. Give them a talking to. Say what's up. Yeah. Matt, do you want to get out of your membership? Because we'll also do yours too if you want out.

Yeah. You can take over mine. How about that? I'll transfer it to you. Matt, do you want to get out of your membership? Because we'll also do yours too if you want out. You can take over mine. How about that? I'll transfer it to you. If anybody has a Madison Jimmership, we'll pick a day and we'll get everybody out of it. And we all walk in and shut it down. Sherry Broughton or Broughton. Sherry Broughton.

Nate, I'm wondering if you've ever considered you may be dyslexic I've taught hundreds of kids hundreds with dyslexia and what I'm seeing with you is pretty textbook could it be is that reading words backwards seen with you is pretty textbook. Could it be?

Is that reading words backwards? Not just that. I mean, clashing of sounds. It's also what I'm doing? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's one element of dyslexia, though. I don't think that's the only thing. Yeah, I don't think I've ever been tested.

I don't think you got tested for that stuff when I was a kid. I think they just, you know, was like, nah, he's fine. It was a lot of that. Nah, he'll be alright. Like ADHD, like no one who's like, nah, dude, he's just like wound up. You know what I mean? He's like, oh, he's fiery.

This kid's fiery. You know what? I had someone else, I remember one time someone said that, but just was seeing me do stand-up. Like, she's at least

seeing me read. I mean, which, honestly, this doesn't, I shouldn't be, it's pretty funny to go, why have I put myself

in a position that I go, you know what, I'm going to read in front of people. Yeah. The most people. Can I read in front of the most people?

All right, we'll do it. We'll do a dyslexia. That'll be our new next Krispy Kreme challenge. We're going to take a test live. While we eat Krispy Kreme donuts, we'll do dyslexia shit test and see if it all comes together. And I'll start reading the donuts

and eating the paper. And I'm like, is that it? Is that? And they're like, oh boy. CPAM shoes. I feel like I have that it? Is that? They're like, oh, boy. CPAM shoes. I feel like I have to share my honest opinion. Aaron has a really nice smile. Ooh.

Even with the extra weight. He's still better looking than you two vagabonds. Love the podcast, guys guys keep it up what is a vagabond just a kind of wandering hobo kind of oh yeah vagabonds a pretty good word i love that she wrote that like she was embarrassed you know it's like i guys i just i think it's a guy. I'm ashamed. CPAM shoes? Might be. I appreciate it either way. Yeah. I saw somebody comment on YouTube once,

from the side, Aaron looks like a Roman god. And from the front, eh. Like in the Roman times, the guy would gather his family and be like no no everybody stand proper and then you turn face forward alright everybody go like I thought we were meeting somebody Angie this podcast is the 2021 revamp

of the magic school bus and Brian is Miss Frizzle who takes us down an educational adventure every week. I was not familiar with Magic School Bus. You guys know Magic School Bus? It was it. Yeah. Was it past your time?

Yeah. Yeah. I think it's past my time. When was it? It was, I think the 90s, and now it's been rebooted, I think. They're rebooting it, yeah. On Netflix. And Miss Frizzle, she is an older lady

that helps out and tells the kids about the wife out there in the world. Yeah, I kind of got that from the comment. I mean, if you would have been like, she's a giraffe, then I'd be like, oh, thanks for explaining. But you just basically... So, it's a giraffe, then I'd be like, oh, thanks for explaining. But you just basically. So it's a show.

They're revamping. Eve, she says it's revamped. Oh, you're right. Yeah. Thanks for paying attention to the podcast, Brian. Do you guys think that's accurate? Yeah. Okay.

All right. Judge and jury, over here. Hey, folks, what do we got over here? Can I get this out of the room? What do you guys think? Justin Fuller. Fuller. Hello, folks.

I bet he thought F-U-L-L-E-R. I bet he was like, he don't get mine. Fuller. Justin Fuller. Fooler. Justin Fooler. Fuller. Hello, folks. As a fellow Ted Lasso fan, yeah, still the best show. If you haven't watched it, go watch it.

I can't believe for the last two episodes you have missed the reference to semantic satiation. Satiation. Huh? Satiation. Satiation? Uh-huh. Why wouldiation. Huh? Satiation. Satiation? Uh-huh. Why would you not have, you should, how many T's are in there? Two.

Two. Satiation. That's exactly right. That makes sense. In episode six of the show, where Ted is repeating plan over and over after it's lost its meaning, Coach Beard just knows the psychological phenomenon that's causing it. Wow.

Yeah, so I went and looked up this clip. We've been talking about this. You suffer for that. And sure enough, there's a scene where Ted just keeps saying plan over and over. It just loses its meaning. They talk about this. Yeah, I mean, again, that's what Justin just said.

Where Ted is repeating plan over and over after it's lost its meaning. I know. Coach Beard just knows the psychology. I don't think you, I didn't think you got it. Huh? I think everybody got it. Caitlin Blanchard, the Blanchard family. That sounds like a...

Yeah, what is that from? The Blanchards? I know you don't want to mess with them, I'll tell you that. The Blanchard boys coming over. I don't think you'd want the Blanchard boys to come over. And I think if something happened, you'd go, who did it? Who do you think did it? The Blanchard plan.

The Blanchard plan. I would love to know how you guys decide on topics each week. It's so fantastically random. Don't ever change that. P.S. I think Aaron's laughing bits are underrated. No, I mean, I

appreciate him. He brings at least some energy to the show. Trust me. I mean, they're the most rated uh we there's no real i mean we kind of you text me and you're like all right what are we gonna talk about i mean the whole point of these topics too and i think everybody gets it it's it's it's just trying to whatever we can make jokes out of and just try to be funny. The States thing has been like, we're just talking about States. And like, it's just trying to make jokes.

Like, so we're talking about very random things that are very fun to make jokes about. Right. Like that's, you know, it's like, it's, you know, a lot of stuff in the past is very fun to make fun of because it's in the past. And like, so it's like, you know, not having to be topical and political. Like, so you do that. One of my favorite moments was showing up to record one day, and the crew was setting up, and they're like, what are you guys talking about today?

I was like, Rhode Island. And they were like, what? It was just out of nowhere. Calendars. Calendars. Yeah. Yeah, calendars is a good one to where people are like, what's the episode?

They're like, why would you listen to that? They're just, no, it doesn't make sense. But it's like just talk about whatever. If you learn something. I mean, there's going to be weird facts. Yeah. But trust me, you're not here to make you learn something. That's not the job of this show.

Brooke Thompson, how did you guys meet? And then how did you decide to start a podcast with the three of you I've watched every podcast and I feel like you've never actually discussed this so that's true

so when we started to do this podcast the other two guys couldn't do it and so I and then the other guy couldn't do it

I already had Aaron and then and then I asked a couple ladies. And then they... And then we got Brian. No. I have always debated doing a podcast. I've thought about it a long time.

I know a lot of comics that did podcasts. I didn't want to do one because so many comics were doing podcasts. And I didn't, like, I don't know. I like the idea of like my world is on stand up. Like I like because, you know, I don't want in a weird way. I don't want you to get if you see my stand up to always get to get used to the rhythm of me talking and like because then it affects when you see me at stand up because then that that's going to you're like, I don't know. You like get it more. And but with

covet happening it was like you know what are you gonna do like and there's and i and i the reason i did want to start a podcast was to be funny like this because if you get to be funny every week you get to keep working that muscle and actually the podcast has really helped me out even with stand-up is the fact that it's it's talking and having to come up with stuff kind of on the fly like that we come off with. So it's been a blessing in the fact that I'm glad that we did it. I asked these two guys to do it. Obviously, Brian, we've been working together for a long time and me and Aaron have done stuff as well. So it was just getting two local guys that are from here, you know, so then here we are. And that's how this podcast came about.

I don't remember how we met. I've been doing comedy longer than all of them. I know, you know, no one thinks that. And I've been doing it a good bit longer

than Brian has. And then, I mean, unbelievable. What have you done, four years? Six years later this year. Oh, yeah.

So I'm at 18. Yeah. You know, comedy's always got that weird mentality like comedians. It doesn't matter about your real age. It's your age in comedy. And so even if someone's been younger than you, but they've been doing it longer, you always feel that. There's a lot of guys that I even started with that are doing it longer than me.

Joe List, very funny comedian. And he's been doing it for 22 years or something like that. Wow. I mean, I think he's a few years longer than me. Joe List, very funny comedian. And he's been doing it for 22 years or something like that. I think he's a few years younger than me. He started at like 17 or something. So comedy, that's why I've always liked comedy too. Because I like that there's a level of, it's like it's just your comedy years

are all that matter. Like once you say you're doing comedy, every other thing goes out the window and it's just your comedy age. That's all that matter. Once you say you're doing comedy, every other thing goes out the window and it's just your comedy age. That's all that matters. We help Brian on stage, but besides that, you would never know. There's a handrail over there.

There's a handrail over there. That's why we got it in. We did not paint it black. You miss it. So we have a few audience submissions. Matt Organ. My wife and I drove up from East Texas. We stopped by Graceland on our way in today,

and we're going by the unclaimed baggage facility in Scottsboro, Alabama. Wow. On our way home Saturday. My question is other than trying to meet Nate somewhere tomorrow morning to buy him milk with ice in it. What should we do while in Nashville? I'll be going to the airport tomorrow morning. You can meet me at the airport by me.

Milk with ice in it there. What should they do in Nashville? You know, go downtown, Broadway, walkie-talkie bars. You actually go, you should go tonight

after this, right? Yeah, sure. I mean, what should they, what are they asking? Country Music Hall of Fame.

Country Music Hall of Fame when are they leaving? All the touristy stuff that locals trash. That's all, you should go do it. That stuff is all great. It's all awesome. Go do it if you haven't been here.

The next time you come do that, go to Hattie B's. You got their hat on. Right down the street. Yeah. That's what you should do. We should... We sound like they might leave early. You know what? We'll probably go get out of here anyway.

You should see them leave I got a long drive ahead of me that was one of the worst infomercials for the city of Nashville ever Nashville's the best

does anybody know anybody are y'all thinking anything that they should go do what is it Taco Bell Cantina I was just like

the Taco Bell oh there's a place? Taco Bell Cantina. I was just like, the Taco Bell? There's a place called Taco Bell? Oh. I was like, go get a cantina at Taco Bell? You're like, yeah, I would do that. If you guys want to go do that, I'll meet you there. What did somebody else say? Five daughters.

Okay. Five daughters. Okay. Five daughters? What is that? A bakery? Elaborate a little bit on what that is, because I don't want to just leave it at that. Donuts. It's donuts.

It's donuts. Okay. Oof. Oof. You also can ask bet you can ask people and people will tell you because that's what you know

get a little pull them aside pull them aside aggressively after the show What do you do around here? Hey what do you think I should be doing around here? Like

Chad and Lindsay Walker What do you think is the biggest secret the US government is hiding from us? I've been waiting to get into this for a long time. They both emailed individually asking that question, so I think they got something on their mind. They want to know. Chad and Lindsey Walker, they're probably a married couple

well yeah but the husband and the wife both email separately i don't think we're debating that i think maybe that's what they're secretive the government's height is their marriage and we're and they're coming out right now because they're both secret agents i thought you'd be like how could these two people conspire to ask the same question. They probably sleep in the same bed. With the same last name. What are they doing? How crazy is that? We live in a time. Yeah, the aliens thing. I want to do more jokes about the aliens.

You know, because on the special I opened with saying there's aliens and no one cares. And I've got some alien, I'm in the alien world now. I mean,

they tell me they're proud of me a lot. And that I'm saying stuff. And I'm like, yeah, man, just, you know. They have a mainstream ally now. They do, yeah. Yes, they do. You're the ambassador for the movement. I'm in the system.

And I'm letting people know about aliens. Lean into it. That's what I say. I should lean into it. When they ask me anything, they're like, do you even care? I'm like, I don't. I mean, I don't. It just was fun to say.

You know? I'm not like. You think you're the highest profile person who's come out? No, Joe Rogan. That's all he does. All right. The whole system is built on alien talk. I talked about aliens with him on there.

I mean, that's what I like. He's a pretty big. Spotify paid $100 million. I'm like, no, it's probably me. You know, when I think about it, yeah, it's me, definitely. And... Kylie

Shoemaker. What is everyone's favorite B name for Brian? Brian? It? Brian. Yeah. It's Brian. Oh, man. Berkshire Hathaway. That one really made me laugh.

Because that's a word you see in a John Hancock commercial. I don't even know what... It's a... It's Warren Buffett. It just makes me laugh. Berkshire Hathaway. Yeah. Well, breakfast was the first.

So that's always, you know, you got to go with that one. I don't, I'm trying to think. Yeah, breakfast wasn't the first. Bagel Bites has been. Bagel Bites. Bagel Bites is pretty good. We had Big Lots earlier. Big Lots earlier.

Big Lots Bates is pretty amazing. Yeah. Bathmat. Bathmat. Yeah. That's like. Body wash. That one made you laugh. Bathmat. Bathmat. Yeah. That's like... Body wash. That one made you laugh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's a great one. Those are good times. Bo Guthrie. Bo Guthrie. Hey, Nate. People tell me I look like you, like I've been stopped and mistaken for you.

May I look at your face more closely to see if it looks like mine? I don't know how closely you can look at my face, but you can come up here and we can see what people think. Where's Bo? Bo Guthrie. Come on down. He's coming in the back.

Bo Guthrie. Everybody getting watered up here, he's... Coming in the back. Bo Guthrie. Everybody getting watered up here. You better look good, Bo. I'll be honest with you. He's hiding. All right.

Oh. Wow. Yeah. Definitely looks like your brother. Yeah. Definitely looks like your brother. Yeah. That's not bad. Yeah. Wow.

And just like me, he bailed on air. That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, it's not bad. Got the eyes. Got the eyes. Yeah. Dude, if he'd walked up here, he's like 450.

That's what it would have been for me. Do you see it? Yeah. You're like, I think so. How about if somebody goes, people say I look exactly like you, Aaron. Don't bring him up here. How about that? I don't want to see that.

I don't think we can. We have the, you know. All right, Aaron, you get off. Now let him come up. What we wanted to do for this, for the live podcast, is we're going to do a state, and we're going to talk about the state that we are in, Tennessee.

We have no guests because we're all, well, me and him from here. You're basically from here. Yep. 13 years now. I just, yeah. How many was in Alabama? 16.

Okay. So almost more. Yeah. They're pretty close, yeah. But you've had more, like, you know what's going on. More formative years, for sure. Those first few years,

you're not doing anything. You're not doing, you're not bringing a lot to them. You guys are probably doing a lot, though. Talking about some high-end stuff. When I was two, we were talking about... Was your first word genuinely?

My first word was spatula. Spatula? Seriously? That was my toy growing up. Are you serious? A hundred percent. That's a gigantic word, dude. He couldn't say that now.

I didn't nail it. Like I, I hit it like you would hit it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, but, like you didn't, you know, like what I, so when our daughter was learning to talk,

we would say mama, dada, but your parents were going spatula. Say spatula. Yeah. That's what they were telling you to say? I think so. I don't know if they wanted that to be my first word, but that's what happened. That's what. Because that was every home video of me as a baby.

I'm holding a spatula. That was my toy. That was kind of foreshadowing. See, I was thinking that, but I was like, I'll just let Nate have this one. I think everybody was thinking that. What was your second favorite toy? The oven?

The oven? What was your second favorite toy? The oven? You only played with cooking utensils? I loved when Bugs Bunny got hit with a frying pan. I don't know. Now it's gone too far.

So, you've been here your whole life. I've been here my whole life. How many... You've been here your whole life i've been here my whole life how many life tenant huh let me hear your whole life well basically i did move to start comedy for like 12 years you were gone yeah 13 years but i mean i'm but it's yeah like i'm hanging on i was i started here and now i'm back a third of your life fourth of your life you've been gone right not a fourth a fourth that long if you've been gone 13 years that'd be 52 oh okay all right well i've basically been here the whole time okay we're getting today how many people are from here like born and raised wow surprising that's more than you think yeah it's getting less and less if you know

like it's pretty wild. I remember when you do Nashville references sometimes on stage, people don't get it. I've had it where the whole crowd is like, I'll say, I went to Volunteer State, the Vanderbilt of Gallatin. That's not fun. People are like,

all right. They go, is it? You're like, all right, never mind. Yeah. All right, so Tennessee's called the Volunteer State. Do you know why? Because we volunteer more than anybody. Yeah.

Yes, yes. But specifically, do you know how it got started? Because of all the volunteering that we did. Yep, yep. Because we didn't pay our soldiers at the Civil War. They were all volunteers. No, you're getting closer, but... Korean War.

Back the other way. I just got the war wrong. The other direction. The other direction. So during the war, 1812, many Tennessees and... When was that? I don't know.

That's good. Did they call it that then? Like in 1813, did they go, that was the War of 1812? Were they already calling it that? That's a good question. I doubt it. I think they just called it the war. Yeah.

Not many wars last one year. I feel like you have... We have so many volunteers. That's why. If you have a one-year war, I think you got to call it that. The War of 1812. Yeah. Yeah.

So then, during the Mexican-American War in 1846, President James K. Polk called for 2,600 nationwide volunteers to come help. Tennessee alone sent 30,000. Oh, wow. Because we were upset about Davy Crockett because he was killed at the Alamo yeah yeah and that's and he was from here

yeah yeah yep I know that because that's you get a hat with a squirrel attached to it

that's right yeah that is right you buy it and that's all your parents buy you go somewhere you get that

every year it's like you want one of those Davy Crockett hats? Crockett? I knew about a different guy. It's the Crockett family. Where's Daniel Boone? Davy Crockett?

No, Daniel Boone. I thought he was the hat guy. Daniel Boone's the hat guy? What did Davy Crockett? No. Daniel Boone's the other guy. I thought he was the hat guy. Oh, Daniel Boone's the hat guy? Well, what did Davy Crockett wear? Apparently nothing. He wore a t-shirt. Did he wear it? So Daniel Boone's the hat?

I bet he's pretty upset about that. Yeah. Because I think everybody thinks it's Davy Crockett, right? You just think it's Davy Crockett, and then you go, I got a Davy Crockett hat, and he's like, it's myy Crockett and then you go I got a Davy Crockett hat and he's like it's my hat. Or a Sonny D hat. He goes David would never

wear something like that. I worked at a country club here in town they had an event for the Daniel Boone Society and it was just people named Daniel Boone. And it was literally hundreds of people in a room,

all with a name tag that said Daniel Boone on it. So many people are named after him. It's insane. Oh, really? Yeah. And you all met, and they met there. They all met up. It's like their yearly get-together.

It's all the Daniel Boones get together, see what we're up to. What did they talk about? Yeah, that seems like a quick meeting. Yeah. I'm going to get all the Nate Bargetzis together. It's just me alone in a room. They're coming.

Did they talk about Daniel Boone? I didn't stay in there too long. I just kind of poked in, saw everybody, and left. Did they get after it? Like, is it a party it a party a little lunch buffet it was like a daytime can you imagine if you're 12 and you're named daniel boone and your mom's like we got to go to this thing and you're like what is it and you're like what's everybody named daniel boone and you're like are they related to me you're like no but it's a very it's a common name so

we meet up yeah so there's a lot of boons i think a lot of them are boon is the middle name daniel and then whatever their last so then a guy that's actually named daniel boone last name i mean that guy just runs the place like he goes daniel boone he goes what's your last name? It's I said it All right, got a big dog here you usually don't come to this he goes I know but I've wanted to come for a long time Tennessee during the Civil War Tennessee was the last state to join the Confederacy and the first state to be readmitted to the Union So we were kind of unsure what we wanted to do there. Yeah, we'd go either way. East Tennessee was actually supported the union. Okay.

That's changed, but... If you've been to Gatlinburg, you know. Yeah. Oh, man. Gatlinburg was a different place back then. Oh man Gatlinburg was a different place back then In 2017 Nashville past Memphis is the largest city in Tennessee

When? 2017? So I always have a theory If you're from Nashville Do you ever Did we feel like we have a rivalry with Memphis? Like growing up? No? I did I had my own personal rivalry did you know many

people from Memphis no not one not a single one you know what I think I'd always get bothered by so when I moved to Chicago everybody always I would say I'm from Tennessee and they'd always say Memphis and I'm like what are you talking about? I'm from Nashville. But no one knew Nashville. No one thought about Nashville in 2002 and 2003. And so people would always be like, oh, Memphis? And I'm like, no, I didn't even go to Memphis. I was like, how do you not Nashville? And I was kind of like, why are they not singing our Nashville? And then slowly it just started changing.

And then it was like, now it's too much. Yeah, for sure. Well, on average, 83 people a day move to Nashville. just started changing and then it was like now that now that's all now it's too much yeah for sure well on average 83 people a day move to nashville 83 that's the greater metro that's 14 counties that they call the nashville yeah can you name them all i can name most of them yeah um and according to the u.s census two of the fastest growing 15 fastest growing cities in the u.s are here in middle tennessee murfreesboro and franklin oh wow murfsboro murfsboro getting up murfreesboro starting to blow up go buy some land in murfsboro get ready you know the cheapest gas ever sold my life was in murfsboro yeah you told me how cheap 69 cents. 69 cents? When was this? It was 1945.

Something, give or take. No, I was in high school, 1997, 98, like maybe right after high school. And I just remember thinking, man, that's cheap gas. It's always stuck with me. And I've never seen it ever since then.

That's what Murfreesboro's known for. You could fill your car up for $5. Like, easy. Maybe $10. Maybe $5. Yeah. Small car, dude. No, it was $10.

I remember in high school, like, all you... I mean, you would put $3 in. Like, in high school, you're just like... You're always paying cash. And then you'd go in and be like, I'll take two on pump four or whatever. Like, dude, that's so insane. Like kids are not going to, like two bucks is all you would put in. And it was basically just to get you to the next gas station. Like that's all, but that's all you do.

Five bucks. And then if your parents gave you $20, you're like, I mean, you would still only put up $2. I'd keep 18 of it. Yeah. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the U.S. Twice as many visitors as the next one, the Grand Canyon. Wow. Oh, wow.

Feels pretty good. We're doing better than the Grand Canyon. Yeah. I've been in the Grand Canyon. It's just like so big that you're like, okay. Like it's the idea of it going. It's just so big that it doesn't even really matter. Like you just go, yeah, I went to it.

And then you're like, yeah. And you're like, yeah, this is pretty big. And it's just a big thing. You know what I mean? It's not like you can take it all in. So you just kind of like, yeah. And you're like, yeah, this is pretty big. And it's just a big thing. You know what I mean? It's not like you can take it all in. So you just kind of go, okay, we went to one part of it. I stood near the side of it. And you're like, yeah, it's pretty crazy.

And then you kind of wrap it up. You're like, all right. And you're seeing kids. You're seeing these parents not watch their kids. And the kids are just leaping off rocks. And so you're about to have a heart attack. Yeah. Because there's a lot of kids jumping, and you don't see them land

because they're jumping off a different level. And you just have to leave because you just can't handle it. There's these parents that just don't care. Were you with your parents? Huh? Were you with your parents? Yeah, we went when I was 30 or something. I was old, but I was with your parents? Huh? Were you with your parents? I was, yeah, we went when I was 30 or something. Like, I was old.

But I was with my parents and my wife's parents. And so, yeah, it was just very, you know, you always see it when you fly over. That's where you can be like, it's crazy, you know? So just fly. Just take a flight. Just fly over it. Yeah, yeah. I would say you would count,

would you count, have you seen the Grand Canyon as just flying over? If you never actually went to it and you go, but I've flown over it a bunch, I think you could talk about it more than the person

that's been there. Yeah, yeah. Because you see the whole thing. Because you see the whole thing. Do you get to go in it? You can. I think they do. You didn't?

Huh? You didn't want to go in there? I don't think we had that kind of time. I think it was just like, we're going to go in it you can i think they didn't huh you didn't want to go in there i don't think we had that kind of time i think it was just like we're gonna go see it and then we when we went back about we went about our day but you can go like through it right yeah yeah and then i mean then you're just in it and you're like i don't know feels like kind of crazy i'm not trying to say i'm not impressed with the grand canyon. I get the idea of it. I'm just saying when you go there, it's so big that you're just like a little standing next to it. Like, okay.

All right. Sounds like a great trip. Yeah. I think everybody should go. I mean, maybe I wouldn't talk like this if I'd never been. So maybe everybody go on your own. I don't know. All right.

We went to the Smoky Mountains every year. Yeah. That was our trip. Yeah.. We went to the Smoky Mountains every year. Yeah. That was our trip. Yeah? Yep. What did you do up there? Just kind of look around? Yeah.

Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, stuff like that. All right. This sounds like we're at a bus stop. Small talk. I mean, good night. All right. Bus stop is probably more interesting than what's going on in this live show.

Sorry, you reeled me in with your Grand Canyon talk. The deadliest train crash in U.S. history happened in Nashville. All right. Now we're getting somewhere. The deadliest train crash in U.S. history happened in Nashville. All right. Now we're getting somewhere. The deadliest what crash? Train crash. Train.

Train. 1918. This happened kind of Bellmead area near Whitebridge Road. Two trains collided. Traffic was crazy that day. That sounded like a traffic reading. On the radio. When was this? 1918 reading. Did they, on the radio? When was this?

1918? 1918. Just hear it on the radio. They have radio, right? Probably. Probably. You just hear Whitebridge Road, big train accident today. All right.

Horses. 101 people were killed. All right. Good night. Yeah. Maybe give a heads up with that. I guess. The deadliest train accident in U.S. history.

How many people die on a regular cruise? 30, 40? We'll get to that. It was the engineer's last train ride before he retired. Did he die? Was it his fault? It might have been. Wow.

I mean, I don't know who else's fault it is. Well, there's two engineers, so one of them. Oh, there's two? But one of them collided. Two trains crash head on. Yep. Yep. They're on their way to Old Hickory.

Oh, yeah? Yep. Yeah. I don't even know what's going on. Is that why it's hard to get a train now to get from Old Hickory to downtown Nashville? You know how they're building that train? The Music City Star? Yeah.

It just refuses to go to Old Hickory? It's blaming us for that? Maybe. If you're on that train, do you want to know that the other train's coming? No. You just want to go out, huh? I think if you asked me that, I'd be like,

well, apparently you can see the future, so why don't you just stop this train from breaking? Can you imagine just getting told that some guy, do you want to know that you're about to die? Well, why don't you stop it, dude? You have magical powers, apparently. Why are you asking me this stuff? Put a gun to my head.

I try to try that as a joke that's the ever talked about it yeah on this i don't think on the podcast but if you put you know someone always says you know gun to your head can you name the top lana braves baseball player well you're like who's putting these guns at these people's heads for these trivial trivial genuine the uh worst maritime disaster in u.s Trivial. Trivial? Genuine. The worst maritime disaster in US history happened... We kind of blew over the train thing. We keep talking about it. I mean, there's a monument over there on... Oh, there is?

White Bridge Road. Yeah. A monument of what? The trains colliding. It's a statue. They put up a picture of the deadliest train. It's like a plaque honoring the victims. Oh, there's not a picture.

That's all I was wondering. It's called Dutchman's Curve. 50,000 people came to the track the next day to help rescue survivors, search for loved ones, or just witness it. Yeah. Oh. That's crazy.

Yeah. They didn't probably get there by horse. 1918? I don't know. Some. Couldn't take the train there. That's for sure. The train was not running. Everybody was riding that train.

Yeah. All right. The worst maritime disaster in U.S. history happened on the Mississippi River in Memphis. I don't even know. What is it? That's a boat accident. A maritime? A maritime.

It's maritime with an M? Yeah. Why would they not say boat? How do you use maritime in a sentence besides that sentence? Is it only for that deadly stuff? Is it like, we're going boating today, then you drown and wreck your boat, and now it's a maritime incident?

Maybe. Is maritime... Do you ever say the word maritime? I've heard it before. Huh? I've heard it before. I've heard it before. I don't know if I've ever used it in conversation.

Did you know it was a boat? Yeah. Okay. 1,100 people were killed. The boat was only supposed to hold... What is happening with Tennessee? The boat was supposed to hold 376. It was actually carrying 2,100.

Kind of like this room. It was way overcrowded. A little over-depressed. Four bowlers bowlers boilers boilers thank you they exploded

and it was overshadowed in the press because the Civil War this happened in 1860 the Civil War had just ended and Abraham Lincoln

had just been assassinated so it hardly got any coverage they stole their thunder huh that's a big thing to not get covered. I mean, it was covered,

but it kind of got buried because of other stuff. Kind of like on this podcast. Also, by the way, 2,100 people died last night. In Andrea Doria, 51 people were lost. So, where was this at? The Mississippi River near Memphis.

The Sultana was the name of the boat. It only supposed to have 300 people on it, and it had 2,100? Yeah, 376, and you had 2,100. How do you even... I mean, did it sink? Huh? How do you even get that many people? Like, I'm picturing a boat for 300 people.

Clearly, it can have 2,100. I don't know. And then 1,100 of them died. Yeah. That's worse than Titanic. Yeah, a lot worse. Yeah. I just said that.

I had no idea. That's what I was going to say. Actually, I don't either. You don't either? How many people died in Titanic? A lot. A lot, okay. Yeah.

You want to guess? But the Titanic's remembered just dying in the Mississippi River. Huh? You want to guess? But the Titanic's remembered just dying in the Mississippi River. Huh? You want to guess? 800. 1,500. 1,500. And what was that?

1,100. It was 1,100, so I was wrong. But their boat could fit 1,500. That's right. I mean, this is the most Tennessee thing ever to be like 360 people and you're like we put 2100 people on that thing like I mean the fact that 1100 made it is a miracle

like that's unreal yeah alright so what's the biggest plane disaster Brian I called you Brad right over Old Hickory Boulevard are you really asking me a lot of death and dying Brian. Sorry. I called you Brad by accident. Right over Old Hickory Boulevard. Sorry.

Are you really asking me? No. I was just... A lot of death and dying. Of course, Nashville is the capital of country music. The birthplace of country music was actually in Bristol, Tennessee. That's where it got started. Bill Street, Memphis is the birthplace of the blues. Yeah.

And what are you laughing at? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Bristol's the birthplace of country? First recording session, country music recording session was in Bristol in 1927. It was born there, but it moved pretty quick. Yeah. It didn't stick around.

I forgot where it came from. That's for sure. But still Tennessee. Yeah. Aaron's more from Alabama than country music is from Bristol. But there's a birthplace of country music museum in Bristol. Yeah, of course. They're hanging on to it.

Yeah, you go in there, just a room. Is it the room that they did it in? Probably. And then they go, that's about it. Probably. And you go, have you heard about Nashville? Yeah, we've heard about Nashville. The oldest live radio station continuously going is the Grand Ole Opry.

Since 1925. You were just on there, right, Aaron? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what station? It's AM radio, right? WSM radio.

Yeah. 6.50. 6.50? There it is. AM 6.50. Don't they do it on TV, too? Circle Network. Saturday nights, they do the second hour on the Circle Network.

Oh. Oh, that's the one that y'all are on. 4.5, baby. 4.5. Yeah. That's the best. I don't know if y'all remember that, but when they were,

their TV credit was channel 4.5 and you have to have antennas. You got to do a lot. And that was this year. Graceland in Memphis is the second most visited home in the country next to the White House. White House?? White House.

The White House. Give me a second. What if it was just some other random? Barbara Mandel's. Barbara Mandel's. I've been to her house. Yeah? What was that about?

It was, you know, my dad did a show for her when we were kids. He did Barbara Mandel's daughter's birthday party. I don't remember that. Who is this? Barbara Mandrell. Mandrell. Barbara Mandrell. Mandrell?

She's a country singer. Oh, I said Mandell. Howie Mandell. Howie Mandell's house. I assume that's how I introduced it. I said, oh, the Mandells. I go, I would like to thank the Mandells. I gave a toast and said I would like to thank the Mandels for having me over.

It's a true honor to be Mandrell. Barbara Mandrell. She's mentioned in Seinfeld. Yeah? Yeah. Oh, when he buys John Voight's car. Yeah. Yeah.

Barbara Mandrell's Buick or something like that. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, my dad did a show for her. And then I went to, later on, after me doing comedy, I went to his show, Joe Walsh. And then we went to her house afterwards. And it was the house that my dad did that show in.

And her daughter was there. And I told her that. And we were like, man, that's crazy. And that was about it. It was about as quick as a daniel boone party would be like it was just like all right that sounds good yeah you're doing good all right doing good and then we moved on and then we talked heavily about daniel boone to be honest uh got some pretty deep daniel boone stuff do you want to guess the largest employer in Tennessee?

Yeah, so Nissan? Walmart. Vanderbilt? Oh, Vanderbilt's pretty good. Vanderbilt's number two. Yeah. FedEx in Memphis is number one. Oh, someone yelled FedEx.

Yeah, 30,000 employees in FedEx in Memphis. Vanderbilt has 26,000. It's all going to be Amazon soon, so. And Oracle, Oracle's coming here now. Yeah, Oracle's coming here.

Something to do with the SeaWorld, I believe. I think so. With the Oracle whale? Yeah. I think the people that build the Oracle Whales is coming.

And we're going to try to get us some whales here in Nashville. We're pretty excited about it. They're going to go right down the Mississippi River, right down there. I always think of a whale when I think of Oracle. Is it called an Oracleacle well yeah orca i always think an oracle well that's every time i think every time i hear that i go i think about the well yeah if i walked in and they show me what they really did i'd be like i am blown away right now i'm gonna be honest be honest with you. I was way off. And he goes, what do you think we're doing?

I'd be like, I'd rather not say. Because you don't want to know how bad of a company I thought you were. I thought you guys are making shamoos back here. I always, you know, when going to the airport, it says international. And it says I-N-T-apostrophe-L. I always think it says until I get there. And I always thought that as a kid, and I think it every time I pull in there, oh, until right here you get to the airport.

You take this until you get to the airport. That's what I thought it meant, and I always think that. Nashville, until the airport. Until the airport's right there. Direct address up there. I get that it's not a word, but I always think until. Until we get, there it is. What's this road do?

Until you get there. The most famous ghost in U.S. history is the Bell Witch in Adams, Tennessee. All right. A couple people. One was the Bell Witch in Adams, Tennessee. All right. Yeah. A couple people. One was the Bell Witch. She's here. She's here. And she's like, whoo.

The Bell Witch Cave you can still go to and take tours. I want to say I've been there, but I don't know. I think I would remember. It was Barbara Mandrell's house. Yeah. The only reason I don't think I've been there is because I think I should remember it. Maybe I'm not that impressed with the Grand Canyon.

I don't know. It's like you get there and you see the witch and you're like, alright. She's there. We get it. She's like, hi. I'm like, hi. I'd rather fly over the witch, to be honest with you, than actually see it. You want to be up front with it and go,

there's the Bell Witch. You can say there's the Blair Witch, but that was something else. Yes, it was. That was something else. Do you think they knew each other? That was a project they were working on. Would they know each other now?

Because I'd imagine they can travel pretty quickly. Yeah. So, there's a Blair Witch. They might get together like the Daniel Boone Society every now and then. Yeah. Swap ideas. All the witches. Yeah.

When I was a kid, they'd say, go in the bathroom, turn off the lights, and say, Belle Witch, Belle Witch, Belle Witch. And she just died. So, go ahead. I never would do it. I was too afraid. You ought to blow the candle out and go, Bellwitch, Bellwitch.

Bellwitch. Someone got it. Yeah, we did that. We did that with Bloody Mary. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I don't think it's Bellwitch, Bellwitch. In my town it was.

Yeah. We moved a little slower down there at Lebanon like we go. That's Lebanon for you. Homer Cracker Barrel. I would be, to be around when witches are pretty active would have been, I think, pretty fun. When was that exactly? When was it not, you know? Witch is just kind of a fun word to say.

And the fact that you'd get get to be like i think she's a witch there's probably a lot of gossip about that now there's just gossip about like you know someone that's not as fun as being a witch i mean people think they're a witch i mean obviously it's not a ton of fun for them no obviously they get called a witch no yeah but it's not a ton of fun for them. No, obviously. If they get called a witch. No, but it is fun to throw it around. That's a fun accusation to throw around. You're a witch. I think she's a witch. Yeah.

And then they go, why do you think that? You go, I don't know. And then they burn them. It gets real quick. You know what I mean? It's not... All right. We're talking about some famous people from Tennessee.

Yeah. Yeah. Here's some that were born in Tennessee, as you might not know. Bill Belichick. He's been here, though. I know that he's, I almost think he coached at Vanderbilt. His dad did. Okay.

His dad coached at Vanderbilt, and he was born here when his dad was coaching. Yeah. And he's been back here a bunch. I think he used to have a house here. I think so. All right. The Allman brothers. They're here tonight.

The Allman sister. Yeah. That's Jessica right there. Hey. Listen to that voice. Kathy Bates. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah.

Megan Fox. Really? Are you related toates? No, I didn't know that. Yeah. Megan Fox? Really? Are you related to Kathy? Not that I know of. I'll be honest with you. Megan Fox looks like she's from Tennessee now that I think about it. What? When you really think about her, you're like, all right, that makes sense.

It would be like you don't agree with it, then you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's got a little fire to her. Does she not? I think she's in trouble all the time. Is she? Yeah, she's kind of a rebel.

I haven't heard anything about her in a while. Are you talking about Megyn Kelly from Fox? No. Is that? That's what you thought? That's what I thought

you thought. No. Because it was, yeah thought that's what I thought you thought no cause it was yeah you know what I mean you're like she's always in the news you know

you know always making noise every time I turn on the news she's on there so I'm like yeah it's like yeah no I meant

Transformers Megan Fox right yeah yeah yeah yeah alright Ric Flair was born in Memphis yeah yeah woo Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. All right. Ric Flair was born in Memphis.

Yeah. Yeah. Woo! All right. So those people were just born here and moved away. Who do you guys think is the most famous Tennessean of all time? All right. Well, I kind of meant these guys, but... Yeah.

Well, we can see. All right. Because we are... We're about to wrap this up. Yeah, wrap this up. Just so everybody can wrap their head around that. And I'm not talking about like... Let's talk the last 100 years.

Andrew Jackson's on the $20 bill. He's very famous. But let's say the last 100 years... Who? Elvis. Elvis. Yeah. Dolly and Elvis. That's who I had to years. Who? Elvis. Elvis. Yeah. Dolly and Elvis.

That's who I had to. Elvis, Dolly. Yeah. This is a solid question to end on, man. Just two immediate answers. You think Dolly Parton? No one bigger than Elvis? Well, I mean, I asked for one.

Who is it? Elvis or no? I think Elvis has to trump Dolly Parton. Oh, okay. No, but I'm talking about who spent most of your life here. Oh, okay. You said I didn about spending most of your life here. Oh, okay. You said I didn't spend

most of my life here. Are you going to give Elvis his time? I mean, Oprah? Yeah, but she's not. Somebody does not like Oprah in the crowd. Do you hear that? Oprah was born, yeah.

She left quick, right? She went to high school, college here, first job here. But yeah, most of her life she's not been here, so she won't count. Taylor Swift? Yeah. But Taylor Swift's pretty big.

Yeah. I'm saying like, I act like I'm saying a name people don't know. They're like, oh, God. You know, you grew up with her. No, I didn't. Yeah, she did. I went to high school with her brother. But you know her? And I met her a few times.

Then you brought her plane? Yeah. He's been on her plane. Her private jet. Have we talked about this? No. Oh, we've never even mentioned it? I don't think so. Wait, do you

care? I don't know. It feels weird to talk about. Let me tell you something. I don't know. It feels weird to talk about. Wow. Yeah, let's not talk about it. Let me tell you something. I don't think she knows what you're doing. That's true. That's true.

There was a brief moment in time where she knew my name. I think that window's closed for sure. Yeah. I think if I saw her, I'd be like, I used to be friends with your brother. She'd be like, oh, yeah. She doesn't even know her brother. You put on some weight since then. She gets so famous, she's like, who is it?

Your parents. She's like, I don't know. The people that raised you? You're like, oh, God. When was that? Do you talk to her brother still? Yeah, he's coming to my wedding. So you can meet him if you're coming. Do you talk to her brothers still? Yeah, he's coming to my wedding. Oh, yeah. So you can meet him.

If you're coming. Well, let's see. We'll find out. You need a camera? I know. I got a gig. So if we did a Mount Rushmore then of Tennesseans, Dolly, Dolly, the East, Elvis, the West,

Taylor Swift in the middle. Al Gore. Who? Tina Turner. She's from Nutbush. Wow. Justin Timberlake. That's a good one.

That's a pretty good one. Daniel Boone. Daniel Boone. There it is. There's a bunch of them. Which one? Yeah. Which one?

Yeah. Nate Barg of them. Yeah. Which one? Yeah, which one? Yeah. Nate Bargatze? Yeah. Yeah. Barely lived here. What if David Crockett got it instead of Daniel Boone? He's like, again? All right, what's the first one?

All right, so Tennessee. The state's got its name. It's derived from a Cherokee word that means Tennessee. What is this? I think questions are harder if you're trying to get into this country than the answer you just gave. I think questions are harder if you're trying to get into this country than the answer you just gave. Is the answer just come, what was it from?

What, T-A-N-A-S-I? T-A-N-A-S-I. T-A-N-A-S-I. Okay. T-A-N-A-S-I. So basically it just comes from the word they made up, Tennessee. A Cherokee town, yep. We made a state out of it.

Sellers came here and said, that's a good name. Let's call it that. Let's spell it way different, but we'll keep the same spirit of it. That's right. That's right. Tennessee is a great name for a state. I mean, yeah. What are you basing that on? Huh? What are you basing that on? Huh?

What are you basing that on? Just thinking of Oregon. Oregon doesn't seem... You know, if you just were like, where are you going to go live and you know nothing about America? Oh, and you're just going off the name. And you go, Tennessee.

You're like, okay, okay. It's got a rhythm to it. Yeah, Tennessee. And you're like, that sounds like good people. You know? Maine. All right, right dude take it easy i might not even move how about that it became a state in 1796 it was the 16th state so there's the 13 original colonies and then we jumped on at the end after that, we got in there pretty early.

We're the third state. We waited until they won the war and then we... We jumped in there. That's the way to do it. You don't want to insert yourself. You boys done out there? Did y'all figure all that out? Alright, now we're good.

We'll hop on. We were going to try to say it earlier, but y'all had a lot going on. We're a state. And how do you even, what's the announcement you make when you become a state? You know, how long does it take to draw the lines around it? You know? That's just a nightmare. To put all the signs up that say you're leaving Tennessee.

That's probably the first thing you do is you got to go make signs that say you're leaving Tennessee. Welcome to Tennessee. You got to go do that at so many different places. Like you're chalking a football field. You just got to roll that all the way through. You got to cut so many trees.

Dude. Probably took years. Yeah. We probably wanted to do it earlier and then we're like, this is going to take a long time. And I bet that's why it took such a sharp turn down

after the point because it was supposed to be a square and he's like dude I'm not going he's like are these people crazy dude he goes I'll act like I'm going then I'm coming back and I keep acting and I just always act like I'm going and they go are you going out there

and he goes yeah dude look at me I'm heading that way, ain't I? And then he comes back in. Yeah. Yeah. That's why you like having a river. Then you're like, oh, God's already done that part of it. Yeah.

We'll just say that's it. Yeah. The river. How do you map it out? I don't know. How do they do all this stuff? Round 1796. Okay.

That's a lot of stuff. They were pretty busy. Yeah. Just when they go, we're a new state, it's like, oh, just the headache of that. Can't it just be land? How do you map that out? Huh? How do you map that out?

It's not like you have GPS. I mean, somebody just had to draw it. The sun. The crows. As the crow flies. As the crow flies. I bet it's a lot of crows. Yeah. Maybe somebody drew it and then they worked around

that. But they drew the country? But what did they draw? Some guy just like, this would be fun. Yeah. Let's just go down this way. You gotta start somewhere and then you just correct it each time yeah

could have been Lewis and Clark they did something yes they did there have been four capitals of Tennessee Nashville

Knoxville Murfreesboro and for one day Kingston wow what happened Kingston had to go huh

what was that day sad day it wasn't the capital for one day Kingston. Wow. What happened? Kingston had to go, huh? What was that day? Sad day. It wasn't. The capital was Knoxville and the Cherokees owned the... What? The Cherokees

owned the land that was currently Kingston so they said, we'll give you this land if you make Kingston the capital. And they said, okay. And then as soon as we got it,

after one day, went back to Rochester. Yeah. You guys, I just got a shirt made, though. Governor of Tennessee is Bill Lee. He's also the owner of Lee Company. What is that? Heating air. Lights?

Oh, I don't know. I was just guessing. That's a... Heating air, right? HV. I was just guessing. That's a... CD there, right? HVAC. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. Glad we got that.

Got to the bottom of that? There's been three presidents from Tennessee. Can you guess any of them? Andrew Jackson? He's not from here. Is he? Yeah. Are you counting Al Gore?

That's what I want to know, Brian. He was the vice president. No, president. Some would say otherwise. I see what you're getting at. So Andrew Jackson. Three and a half. Andrew Jackson.

James K. Polk. Andrew Johnson. Oh, wow. He feels like he's from here. Now that I think about it, Andrew Johnson feels like he's from here now that I think about it Andrew Johnson feels like the most

from here just based off the name do you know anything about his term no no of course not but I just based on the policies

he enacted he really feels like a Tennessean just the name Andrew Johnson you're like yeah I think I knew his family

I think I'll be like, he's president, dude? Do you know the Johnson? Yeah, he used to run with the Blanchard Boys back in the day. The Blanchard Boys. Just the misfits

they were up to. He's the only person in history to hold every major elected office. Andrew Johnson? Yep, he was city councilman, the major one. City councilman, mayor,

state representative, state senator, governor, U.S. representative, U.S. senator, vice president, president. Wow. I mean, he did, he had to hit all the stops, dude. That's a guy that had to earn it. He was also impeached, but. Yeah. He got to the top and got impeached?

He became president when Lincoln was assassinated. Oh. Do you think he tried to keep going after president? Yeah. Ruler? Let's go back to the government hiding stuff from us real quick. And he probably tried to...

Why did they... So he was the only president just one term after Lincoln and then it was out? Yeah. And then... Peggy Eaton, right? He got impeached?

The Peggy Eaton affair, wasn't that him? I don't know, man. What? I know a lot of terms, but I don't know where they go. Yeah. You know what I mean?

I remember reading about the Peggy Eaton affair. I don't know that one. Wait, did we... That was Johnson or Jackson. I can't remember which one. I don't know. I don't know about that affair.

All right. But Andrew Jackson's Barry's Affirmative... Huh? The scandal. It's not only people listening, which one? I don't know. I don't know about an affair. But Andrew Jackson's buried the hermitage. Huh? It's not only people listening, they're watching. I'm sorry I brought it up. Were you going to describe it?

I don't, I know very little more about it. Yeah. But it was a big deal at the time. It was a big deal. You might want to Google that. So Andrew Jackson's buried at the Hermitage. James K. Polk's buried at the Tennessee State Capitol

here in Nashville. Andrew Johnson's buried in Greenville, Tennessee. Ugh. East of here. I don't know. How would you? I mean, what are we doing? I mean, wow.

83 people are moving to Nashville. For a second, I hoped I was alone. I was like, you're going to wake up and be like, God, I hope I'm just dreaming. And you're like, no, this is real life, dude. And we're just breaking it down. 83 people move to Nashville every day, greater Nashville area.

U-Haul named Tennessee the number one state In America in 2020 for people moving here Utah did? U-Haul That would be impressive Stand up for yourself Utah I appreciate it but What if that's how you get people

To not move to your place You name another state as the number one place. So we throw it back to Utah. No, no, actually Utah is number one. And you're like, are they? And you're like, I don't know, but we don't want you moving here. So, sure. So U-Haul, yeah, the most people who crossed in our state

but did not leave in a U-Haul. Tennessee was number one. Yeah. Most people moving here. You don't have to bring it back, huh? Because they have GPS on the U-Haul? Or they got to turn it in? Yeah, you got to turn it in somewhere.

You don't get to keep it. So they know you crossed the state and then they... You turn it into an office here in Tennessee. You call them and go, well, where is it? And I go, it's somewhere, dude. I don't know. It's not. I'll give don't know. It's not.

I'll give you a hint. It hasn't left Tennessee. So good luck figuring that out. And then you dump it somewhere and wherever you want in Tennessee. Tennessee is tied with Missouri for the most states bordering it. Eight states border Tennessee. Wow. That's fun. Can you guess them?

We shouldn't be. It just can't. It can't come to that. To us guessing the eight states. Can you imagine driving in a car and just hearing and listening and going, Georgia.

South Carolina. Alabama. He just named this in your life. This guy just rolls, drives right off a cliff. And he just lands right when he hits Kentucky. And then just boom. And that's

the last thing he heard. He couldn't believe it was still going. During the fall, he goes, you know how fall? We was falling for a while. And I go, Arkansas. Arkansas. Manfit. Well, Memphis is part of it.

And he's like, what? And he's pressing the gas as it's going down because he's like, maybe it will make me get there faster. The geographic center of Tennessee is Murfreesboro. It's right in the middle. Good job, Nate. From Memphis to Mountain City, if you drove it on I-40, it's eight hours.

The northeast corner of Tennessee is 105 miles closer to Canada than it is to Memphis. Oh, what? Say that again? The northeast corner of Tennessee is 105 miles closer to Canada than it is to Memphis. Oh, wow. All right, I'm Preston. That's pretty crazy. You can drive to Canada quicker than... That's what he's saying.

Yeah. If I'm hearing correctly. Trying to be a legend. Huh? So if you take Tennessee and just kind of flip it up... Yeah. It would go to Canada? Is that what you're telling me?

And a little bit past it. Little me that, Miss Frizzle. Is that go to Canada? Is that what you're telling me? And a little bit past it. Yeah. Give me that, Miss Frizzle. So we could have been in Canada. We could have been. We could have been Canadians. So next time you have to go to Memphis... Go to Vancouver?

Go to Canada. Vancouver's way away. All right. Yeah. Ottawa. All right. Yeah. Ottawa. I mean, I'll be, look, I have a great tandem career going. I'll be fine. So it's, you know, we're, it's, I mean, y'all, we can sit here as long as you guys want.

I'll be, I'm going on the road tomorrow. So. to sit here as long as you guys want. I'll be I'm going on the road tomorrow. In 1920, Tennessee became the 36th and final state necessary to ratify the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote. We were the last one.

The one to put it over, yeah. We were the vote to make it official. So all the states got to vote. And then one guy, an East Tennessee legislator, switched sides after he got a telegram from his mother telling him to do it. Oh.

Where'd she get the nerve to ask for that? I mean, all she had was not able to vote. How long did the telegram take to get there? They're pretty quick. I'll vote. One second. Your mom has got a letter. I'll read it.

I bet it's a lovely letter. Let us vote. Oh. Okay. Sorry. I'm going to change my mind here, guys. Because my mom the largest

what year was that? 1920 it just hit the 100 year anniversary oh when we're getting to vote? yeah alright

how do you feel about that? I'm you know there you go I'm happy with it I think it's great that's great you have a stance you're like there you go. I'm happy with it. I think it's great. That's great.

You have a stance. You're like, I don't know. I'm still, you know, it's tough. That's a tough one. It's been 100 years. Oh, you know. It's a lot to think about. Orny Adams had a comedian great joke about that.

He's like, then we had a, because then men had a vote to see if women could vote. He's like, how did we lose that vote? Yeah. They're all getting telegrams. Men could have just stuck together and just said, no. Glenn Jacobs, better known as the wrestler Kane, is the mayor of Knox County. Yeah. That's pretty crazy.

That's a big change. A, you can see your mayor everywhere. Yeah. You know, like if he's in the bathroom at the restaurant, you just see like his neck above the bathroom stall. I mean, can you walk him? I thought you meant like he's in the media, he's in the news everywhere. You're like, no, you can physically see him.

Dude, he's so big. You would walk in there and be like, oh, hey, Kane. And he's like, how'd you see me? Did you see the top of his head? Because he's that tall. Can't go anywhere. And you're like, yeah, dude, you're seven feet, right? That mask is doing nothing. Seven one.

Yeah, he's huge. Yeah, and he took the mask off. Does he look like a normal person? Yeah, he's actually been. He's actually quite handsome. He's against mask, actually. Huh? He's against wearing mask in public.

Oh, he's against it. Oh, and he wore mask. Yeah. I've wore mask for so long that I will not do it again. Not again. I would be against it too if I did it for 30 years wrestling. Yeah, I'm pretty anti-mask as well.

Is his brother the Undertaker? Did you ever hear that? Not in real life. I always thought that was real life. That was just the storyline in wrestling. Oh, I bought into it. What are the odds those two guys are that big? You're like, yeah, that makes sense, dude. Why are they not?

The Undertaker lives here. I think he lives in Hendersonville. Does he? I think his address is... Guys, don't quote me on this. His social security number is... Knoxville was home to the 1982 World's Fair. 11 million

people came to Knoxville, and that's where the Sunsphere came from. Did you go? Yeah. I mean, I remember it. I was like 11. But I didn't go. Y'all couldn't afford it. And you were like halfway there in Lebanon. I was like 11. Yeah. But I didn't go. You didn't go. Y'all couldn't afford it to go there. No.

And you were like halfway there in Lebanon. I was three. So, yeah. But you see that sphere every time you go to Knoxville. Why did they pick Knoxville for the fair? I don't know. When did they stop doing the World's Fair? They may still be doing it for all I know. If you had set up the world's fair what city would you pick where would you put it you got to drop a huge a lot of infrastructure where do you where

do you throw it you can't do it here change your word on that thing you switched up the sentence infrastructure like if i was in that meeting, I'd be like, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. All right, guys. And he wants to bring the fare to our town? How about take it somewhere else, buddy? Because I don't think you got it all dialed down. No one says dialed down either.

I meant dialed in. Now I join you. Then you walk out of the office and I'm like, hey, can I get a job, man? I'm so tired of working here, to be honest. We're batting down ideas like this World Fair. I think it'd be a really good thing for this city

if we could get it. We said... Never mind. No, go ahead. What's the difference between a World Fair and a State Fair? Is it just bigger? Do they have more different kinds of food from other countries? University of Notre Dame.

What's bigger than the world? What's the difference between country and a state? Let's just keep doing it. What's the big difference between a motorcycle and a unicycle? You said Memphis was a state five minutes ago, dude. You said Memphis was a state.

That was the joke. I know. Well, what's the difference? I mean, obviously it's bigger, but is it just, that's it, huh? It's just a bigger. It's bigger. Bigger Ferris wheels? I don't think it's that.

I think the stuff they bring in is from all over the country. All over the world. He's thinking of the country fair. You go to the country fair? We have a country fair every year. County. It goes all the way down to county. I've never seen a city fair.

It's like we stop at county. Yeah. I think that'd be a carnival. Yeah, you're talking about just like a, like skee-ball at a Chuck E. Cheese. Yeah. Yeah. Narrowing it down.

The atomic bombs used during World War II were created in Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Oh, man. Oh, well, that's fun. Yeah. Tennessee has more caves than any state in the U.S. Really? Somebody should tell Kentucky that,

because every time I'm in Kentucky, they will not shut up about their caves. Yeah. Every sign is like, we have caves. Well, they don't want you to see what's above ground. I think I'm going to go downtown tonight. Why don't you come over here down this cave? Yeah, it's cold, dude.

You know it's 72 degrees at all times or whatever it is. My parents are from Louisville, Kentucky, by the way. So I'm joking. The honors course in Udawah was named the 28th best golf course in America by Golf Digest. What course? The honors. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Someone really does not believe in that. That's the guy who owns Pebble Beach back there in Lallana. Yeah, yeah. He's playing it. You call that a golf course? You call that a golf course? Honors is unreal. I've actually never been, too.

So I say that, but I've always heard about it, and it's supposedly awesome. It's the best course in Tennessee. Because it's the number one golf club number two. I always start off throwing a golf thing. You guys will listen to my golf podcast. It airs during the live

shows. Aaron Land's not happening tonight. Cutting into my Aaron Land time. Yeah. As far as Christian denominations, Southern Baptist, number one. Yep. United Methodist, number two.

Catholic, three. Church of Christ, four. You sounded so upset. Oh, Catholics. I know. They're hanging in there. I was. A little disappointed.

We're doing great. You're number three. All right. Sorry. three all right the uh trial of the century was held in dayton tennessee the scopes monkey trial yeah wow you guys know this no what do you think happened the scopes monkey trial yeah i just want to hear what you think might have happened there. I think monkeys are involved, and I think they were doing knee surgeries on them. They do scopes in their knees, and it was messing up the monkeys. And the monkeys took them to court?

Is that how it worked? No, someone... Aaron, don't be ridiculous. Aaron, someone took the monkeys to court for them. And they said, they can't walk. And the other guy goes, they hang from trees. I think that's enough. So it was...

How close was he? He's pretty close. He's pretty close. There was a law in the past that couldn't teach creation in school, only evolution. And a biology teacher... No, I got it. You had to teach evolution and creation. A biology teacher was teaching evolution and they took him to trial.

And was his name Scopes or Monkey? Scopes. It wasn't Scopes Scopes or Monkey? Scopes. It wasn't Scopes versus... It wasn't Scopes versus Monkey? Scopes versus Monkey. Yeah, why was it not called that? The state of Tennessee versus Monkey. I mean, people are just going,

oh man, this guy's suing a monkey. Scopes was convicted and fined $100. And that was the what scopes monkey trial it was the trial of the century it was until oj yeah when was that 1925 oh it was and it was the trend it was a hundred dollars it's a trial of the they said said the century? Well, in 1925. It's still kind of early in that century. Up to that point. Up to that point. 25 years. Dad was like, how's that going?

The Scopes Monkey Trial? Can you believe this? The guy's hearing that on his, did you read in the paper about the Scopes Monkey Trial? They're like, oh. I bet there's so many people acting like they knew what it was and had no idea. Yeah. Because that's a weird name. the Scopes Monkey Trial. Yes, it is.

Because, I mean, technically, the monkey's not even there. Yeah. And that's what I would ask. If I was a Scopes guy, I'd go, well, I want to call monkey to the stand. And then he puts his wrong hand on the Bible because he's dumb, and I go, exactly. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know the point I'm trying to make.

You ever seen this before? You hold a banana up and you go, this looks familiar to the monkey. This is the questions you're asking the monkey. This looks familiar. Can you open it for me, please? And he opens it the other way because they do open bananas the right way. I open a banana the same way a monkey does. Upside down? Upside down.

Did you see a monkey do it? No, no. I read about it and it's so much better. If you don't open by the top, you open by the bottom and that's what the monkeys are doing. I would imagine they know what they're doing. And they can eat a lot of them and I've been doing quite well with bananas since then.

I don't mind them as much. Instead, you know how it breaks on you all the time? Was it that big of a problem in your life? I feel like I've never had trouble. If you start thinking about it, you're going to realize that there's a lot more trouble than you think. Okay. Maybe you just haven't been aware to it yet.

You're young, got too much stuff going on. Maybe you just haven't been aware to it yet. You have, you know, you're young, got too much stuff going on. As you start settling down, you start looking at things to weed out of your life. And banana time is one of them. And so I looked into it and you open it upside down. I'm working on squirrels with nuts, but I haven't got, I haven't finished the book, so don't tell me. I'm pretty excited about it. Has this been going on for two hours? I don't want to get up and like...

I mean, you want to wrap it up? I don't know how long it's been. I'll do a couple more. Yeah, we probably need to be ready. Everybody's got a life, dude. They've already left. We're talking about ways to peel a banana.

It might be time to wrap up. Oregon. The Oregon family's been gone for a while. Well, you made fun of the word Oregon for a while after that. Remember that?

I said Oregon. Oregon, like the state. You don't think they're similar at all? Oregon and Oregon. I mean, I... There's an E in there, right? like this state. You don't think they're similar at all? Oregon? In Oregon? There's an E in there, right? I could see how

his ears would perk up to it. To the conversation. The largest earthquake east of the Rockies. The New Madrid earthquake. West of the Mississippi. What is it? The west of the Rockies. West of the Rockies. So this is earthquake. West of the Mississippi. What is it? The west of the Rockies?

West of the Rockies. So this is east. This is news from the east. Occurred in the winter of 1811, 1812 in Tennessee. Real Foot Lake was formed because of this earthquake. Wow. What lake? Real Foot.

Oh, do you know that lake? Yeah. Oh. Thank you. It's in west Tennessee, like northwest Tennessee. Oh, do you know that lake? Yeah. Oh, thank you. It's in West Tennessee, like Northwest Tennessee. Oh, well, I think I got a lot of eagles there. A lot of eagles? Yep. Yeah. Eagles got a lot of power. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So more power than you want a bird to have. After you talked about that, I went to the Columbus Zoo with my brother and his kid,

and the bald eagle does look like it's running the show. Yeah. It just sits up there. It's looking around. It's like, you're not going to touch me. I'm on the quarter.

You know? It gets to pick where its cage goes. You think? Yeah. Yeah, the eagle's got pretty heavy say in where they are they're always near the bathrooms take a look next time you go just pay attention you're gonna be like that makes sense

you know it's a pretty good spot nice breeze right through here yeah the eagle knows what it's doing brian go ahead all right we'll wrap it up we're all big sports fans so i thought we could talk about some of the greatest moments in tennessee sports history and then i'll end with the story about probably the most embarrassing moment in tennessee sports history okay all right the biggest i mean the music city miracle uh with the titans that's it i don't know if there's even another one i mean for us for vanderbilt, College World Series, you know. Yeah, I mean, one moment like that or the Titans going to the Super Bowl. Over the Music City Miracle?

The Titans going to the Super Bowl? I mean, just as far as, yeah, just one big event. The other one has a name and the other one's the Titans lost it. The Super Bowl? Yeah, but it's not called the Tennessee Super Bowl. That's what sprang them to the Super Bowl. I know, but the Music City Miracle is going to be the biggest thing we lost in the Super Bowl.

It's a name, you know. You know what it is. It depends on if you're talking about a moment or an accomplishment. Yeah. I mean, it was the last game we won that year. The New City Miracle? Was it? No.

No. We won one more game? We won two more. Okay. The New City Miracle, I mean, it's a miracle. It is that. Yeah. You got that?

That's a good argument. Preds with the Stanley Cup Finals. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're game six. Vandy, a couple world series the vols won a national championship in football yeah there we go still the one that's we're going just we're saying three words and everybody knows what it is i'd imagine has to be up there pretty high the music city a miracle you may be right can you think of any uh i may be right i mean i the Music City Miracle. You may be right.

Can you think of any... I may be right. I mean, I think they've heard of all those other things I just threw out. It's still not the Music City Miracle. Like, that's got to be... That's what everybody knows

the Titans from. No one goes, oh, I didn't see that game. I did see them lose in the Super Bowl, though. Sports Illustrated did a ranking. Was it the game after the Music City Miracle? How about that movie Blindside?

Does that count? The Memphis Miracle? Is that what it was called? That was there, wasn't it? Yeah. Not really a moment. No, that kid. Yeah. That's not a sporting moment.? Yeah. Not really a moment. No, that kid. Yeah.

That's not a sporting moment. The movie coming out was the moment. I don't even know if y'all watch sports. Sports Illustrated had the Titans going to the Super Bowl, number one. Yeah. They had it over the Music City Miracle. Oh, yeah. It said the Titans going to the Super Bowl.

Again, I think they look at it a little different than you do. No, they're being annoying. This is like the person that is like the one guy that doesn't vote Michael Jordan in the Hall of Fame. Like that just goes, oh, it wasn't unanimous because I didn't think he deserved it yet. And you're like, well, you're just obnoxious.

I think the NFL draft in Nashville may even have been above the New City Miracle. Above the New City Miracle? I think so. I mean, it was way up there. In this article? Yeah. Well, that doesn't even make sense.

Who wrote this? West of the Rocky News? Sports Illustrated. Yeah. All right. So the most embarrassing moment, I would say, in Tennessee sports history, besides me stealing first base, Cumberland University in Lebanon was then Cumberland College.

They lost a college football game to Georgia Tech. 2-22 does nothing. It's the greatest loss in college football. You probably could have guessed that. Wayne, yeah, my brother-in-law is a teacher there at Cumberland University. He was the coach this year. Go ahead. Well, this happened in 1916.

Georgia Tech's coach was George Heisman, who the Heisman's named after. Cumberland had already discontinued their football program before the season, but Georgia Tech held them to it. They said, if you cancel, you've got to pay $3,000, which was a ton of money back then. And earlier that year, Cumberland had beaten Georgia Tech in baseball 22-0, and George Heisman was the head coach of the baseball team as well. He said, if you guys come down here, I'll pay you $500 to come.

So Georgia Tech, I mean, Kermit had already discontinued their football program, so the equipment manager had to get up a team of guys. So he got his fraternity brothers and his law students. They found 12 to 16 players

to travel to Atlanta for this game. The score was 63 to nothing after the first quarter. I'd say it's the wishbone offense. It's tough to guard. It's a triple option. It's a beast, dude. Go ahead. It's a beast.

It was 126 to nothing at halftime. Pretty consistent there. Kermlin's only effective defensive effort was a blocked extra point when they did a human pyramid. And the guy at the top suffered a gruesome facial injury. That was their highlight. That was their highlight.

That was their highlight. That was on ESPN later that day. Dude just getting nailed in the face. Georgia Tech scored 32 touchdowns. Did not attempt a forward pass. Triple option. It was all rushing or defensive plays. Wow.

Georgia Tech didn't pass the ball at all? No. Didn't have to. That's respectful of them at least. Yeah, they go, we're running the ball. Let's keep it on the ground. Would you, if the school asked you to play, would you play in that game? Dude.

Your fraternity brothers? 100%. I would too. I would love to be in that story. Yeah. In that pyramid. I probably wouldn't be the guy at the top falling down, but I'd be in there, man.

You know how to be, like when they do the pyramid, it's like obviously what they're trying to do. And I like that they go, yeah, we'll let you try it. Let's try it. Let's see.

And I think that kicker was so good, he aimed for that guy's face. I don't think it's an accident. He goes, yeah, kick him in the face. And you go, do we want the points? It doesn't.

We have so many points. I would rather kick him in the face with the ball. Bet you can hit that dude in the face. Watch. If they get on like a pyramid, I guarantee you I will. And then the game went so badly at some point, and they go, what if we did a pyramid? That's how many people you have that are not football players on that team.

Then they go, you know what? Because you always, like, when you watch games, you're always like, why don't they ever do this? That's a bunch of guys that are like, you know what I never see? Pyramid. You know how cheerleaders get on top of each other? Let's just do that. And we'll block the field goal with my face.
