I am. Wow. That's weird to think about. Yeah, I will be.

I don't know where in Alaska, but I'm there right now. Right now. All right. Living it up. Flying over on a train, train, planes, and automobiles of Alaska. No walking, dude. No walking. That was the deal breaker.

She said, we can go anywhere. I said, only if we can't, I don't know, have to walk dude. No walking. That was the deal breaker. She said, we can go anywhere. I said, only if we can't have to walk anywhere. Cold weather. You think Alaska is a real big man vacation? I wonder if like, you know, because usually bigger guys, they like it nice and cold. Does that make sense? I love it nice and cold.

Yeah. So I bet there are a lot of? I love it nice and cold. Yeah. So I bet there are a lot of guys that look like me up there. Yeah. Trying to get away from the beach. A lot of women, too. What do you say? You go to a hotel. There's big guys and women out there.

Y'all just doing tackling drills. I don't know. I like to picture that. Tackling drills. Just get there. Run Oklahoma. I like to picture that. Tech lecture. Just get there. Run Oklahoma. Run the bull, yeah. Just people in the wild running Oklahoma. Just in the backyard.

When you're in a hotel room, what do you set the thermometer at? When I go to bed, I set it to like, I want to say, this weekend was like 67. Hotels can be sneaky. That's pretty chilly. That's pretty chilly. It's pretty chilly. But it's pretty sneaky how cold a room can get. I don't want to wake up.

You can wake up with a sore throat if you get too cold. Yeah. 69 maybe, something like that. Right around there. Yeah. 72 always feels like too hot to me. I know that's supposed to be the standard. 72. Yeah, I like to hit the high 60s.

Yeah. Especially when I go to bed. You can get some of these down to 58. You go there? I have before. Yeah. Most of the time I wake up middle of the night like, okay, I'm pretty cold. Then I turn it up.

It feels great when it's first getting going. Oh, dude, it's the best. Yeah. You click the heat on? When I get up at 4 a.m.? Yeah. I feel a draft. Yeah.

You talk to the cleaning staff as they start cleaning rooms, you're out in the hall. They always start so early. What time do they have to be there? Cleaning staff. I feel like they never leave. Yeah. They get there like 6, 7. I think it so early. What time do they have to be there cleaning stuff? I feel like they never leave. Yeah. They get there like 6, 7.

I think it was early. I feel like I've had someone knock on my door like 7 or 8 to try to clean the room. Oh, that's so early. Yeah, what do you think I'm doing? Yeah. Like in a hotel? I guess a lot of people get up that early. Maybe people are there for work like throughout the week a lot of people get up that early. Maybe people are there for work, like, throughout the week.

Yeah. Maybe people are getting up that early. I feel like in a hotel, it's like you don't do anything before 9. Mm-hmm. Like, if you're in a hotel. So I guess people are up at 7 or 8. But you're not out of the room. No.

I would think cleaning can't start until 9. You're not ready to have a stranger knock on your door. But I guess if people are flying home, a lot of people fly. Early flights, yeah. Early flights. If you, yeah, that's the big big secret people always think that when you go to an airport if you're at a if you're at a 6 a.m flight that airport's going to be packed it will always be packed people show up and they think well it's 6 a.m no one's flying at 6 a.m no everybody is if you have that thought everybody has that thought yeah no one flies at noon that's when you want to fly that's

when you go that's a uh as i've learned just being on the road i like leaving even 10 30 i like uh you know something like that but noon flight you're breezed through security it'll be great all right that's it uh here's the comments YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Apple Podcast Reviews and Nate Land and NateBurgatti.com Travis Bottles Nate, you and Bratwurst and Sour Gout pretty good have made my days as a UPS driver

unbelievable the downfall is me cracking up while a man simultaneously fell off his porch he assumed I was hysterically laughing at him and proceeded to basically go full-blown andrew jackson duel on his front lawn when i apologized to him and told him i was listening to a comedy podcast he said yeah what's so funny about it i told him it was the cast of seinfeld where from tennessee oh no i don't think i'm reading this I think I started that sentence wrong I told him it was like

the cast of Seinfeld were from Tennessee and his furry immediately disappeared I was furious hold on let's get back into it hold on start don't start the clock don't start the clock yet

that's two false starts third one I'm out yeah that's two false starts. Third one, I'm out. Yeah, what's so funny about it? I told him it was like the cast of Soundfield were from Tennessee, and his fury immediately disappeared, and he said, ah, Nate Land. And just like that, crisis averted. It's pretty cool, man. That's pretty awesome.

Two folks. Almost got into it. That's what we are as folks. All of us folks, me, all of us listening, you guys, we will fight. But if you just do one nice thing, then we kind of go, ah, we don't want to. But we will. He was. He was about to.

Justin Spear. I joined a work Zoom meeting of 100 people immediately heard some guy talking about talking that sounded like nate it was uncanny my interest peaked further when he started talking about disney princesses long story short i found out the folks who forgot to hit mute i found out one of the folks who forgot to hit mute if this small sample size is any indication two percent% of the world population is listened. Oh, that's funny. God, I'm reading.

It's not happening. These are two tough ones. These are big ones. These are too hard. Like, well, what was in the sentence? Disney princesses? That's a tough. That was back to back.

Fury. Fury. And of course, everybody thought it was furry. Yeah. Yeah, so that guy's just listening to it. And then, yeah. That's two back to back fury or fury and of course everybody thought it was furry yeah uh yeah so that guy's just listening to it and then yeah that's two back-to-back odd like the odds of that yeah you know yeah have you heard speaking of a voice that's have you heard the head coach of tennessee talk uh people told you that he sounds like you? Yeah, I have.

I've had people say that. I don't know if I've heard him talk. You want to hear him talk for a second? Yeah. What we do is lock down our borders. We have to keep kids inside of this state here. That's for multiple reasons. They're going to come play championship caliber football.

Yes. I think we owe Josh Hopple an apology. Oh, no. There are a lot of clips. I found a clip earlier of where it sounds exactly like. I mean, that clip started off, we got to keep the borders closed. I mean, you're just sitting there like, oh, yeah, Tennessee head football coach. He knows his audience.

He goes, we got to keep the borders closed. All right, what about the football? Oh, yeah. Sorry, completely forgot. Yeah, we got a great schedule coming out this year. Very exciting. He just gets off on a tangent, dude. Like, he just sits there. Oh, man.

Yeah, I don't think that one was. And hopefully throughout our entire state here in Tennessee. And when you do those things, great things are capable of happening. You don't hear that? He's got the same cadence as you. Yeah. I think when he said empowered, he had to think about it like me. I think he said his wifey because I want to use empowered today.

I think, all right, well, do your border talk. He goes, obviously. I start everything with keeping our borders closed. Everything he said is basically a hint for this country, but he's using it as just Tennessee. We've got to keep our borders. You know, you need IDs to come to school here. And you're like, what?

What's he mean? Oh, yeah. There's a New York comic impersonation of you. I think it's a couple years ago. Yeah. But there's a video york comic you did an impersonation of you um i think it's a couple years ago yeah but there's a video of him on youtube it's very funny i assumed you've seen it i think so is it yeah the sticker treat i know sticker treat uh which is a great uh it's a halloween show right yeah yeah such a good idea for a show. So every Halloween, they have comedians go up, and they do impressions of comedians, and they do their act. It's just such a really good idea for a show, and it's very fun.

It's like a party, and it's a good time. That's cool. My name is Nate, and I'm from Tennessee. That's why I talk like I'm not a New York Missing. So, you know. I'm starting to start and get it, you know.

I love it. Casey McGowan. McGowan. Casey McGowan. That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. I know it's like always like

when you hear it, if you hear it, you're like, oh man man what do i sound like uh it would be weird to hear somebody do an impression of you on stage i've never had that yeah yeah yeah one day you might probably won't but if he's got the mannerisms down he's got the manner yeah everything's down i mean the way it started good going good like i like it yeah uh that's great i didn't get him to open and just he goes out first and does that just as you yeah i'll get him to do any old jokes like uh casey mcgown um scott wilson when nate is on another podcast he talks about nate land like it's something he's just trying out just being

super modest about having the best podcast about nothing. Thank you. Is it modest or embarrassed? It's like, you know, probably introducing a lot of your family. Like, we met your family at the wedding. We were like, no, no, he's a cousin. Yeah. But, look, we love him.

We love him. You know? No, it's – I'm always – I i'm never embarrassed uh i really like i do i really enjoy doing this podcast i enjoy i think it's very fun it's fun to be funny i think it's helped me with my stand-up uh and then i always just feel i i'm i'm at the age group that was podcast was dumb and I feel embarrassed to have one. And everybody's like, well, I've got a podcast. I got a podcast. Everybody's got a podcast. So that's always in my head.

That thought is always in my head. I haven't fully just gone and be like, yeah, our podcast is the, you know, it's like, I don't know. I just, that's always been in my head. I mean, I just, I come from the generation that when this all started, you know, like now if you're a young comic, I mean, I just, I come from the generation that when this all started, you know, like now, if you're a young comic, I mean, podcasts are just a part of the scene. But where I was, it was like, you know, we had one a long time ago and no one had one. And then everybody has one. That's why I was took so, you know, starting one.

I was like, I don't know. Like you just, I didn't want to be another comic with another podcast. That's what you don't. So you end up, you kind of think that. But I am very proud of this podcast. I like this podcast, and I enjoy it. I love everybody. I mean, the fact that all these people are listening,

and I do think we're doing something different. And so that's where I am proud, and I do like it, is that if I am going to do something I at least want it to be different and I know there's not a ton of clean comedian not that that

is what I'm going for but it's like it's just the angles you know we talk about nothing yeah it's a podcast about nothing and I do like that Teresa Morwood

got to love when Bacon Bits defends his research with according to this like he doesn't know where it came from love the podcast I love that like

that's fair like you were just handed all this research I know I mean what do you want me to do she called me she's right about that I sometimes

yeah according to this well like I'm the one that looked this up yeah and I acted like I didn't do it yeah that's a fair point

yeah Hannah Perino I listen to a number of podcasts and this is the only one act like I didn't do it. That's a fair point. Hannah Perino. I listen to a number of podcasts, and this is the only one that I don't skip through the ads while listening. Nate reading them is pure gold. Thank you, Hannah. And I hope our ad people hear that and understand that I get through it. I get through it the way I get through it.

Carlotta Simonson. That's a lot of letters right there, Carlotta. All right. See what I did. Is that how you say it? That looks right. I would say Simonson. Simonson.

That makes more sense. Carlotta Simonson. You guys should hold a drawing for Nate's tickets or merch for the listener who submits the best tagline for the podcast. I bet people would come up with some really great ones. Thanks for all the great laughs. We could do something like that. We could do some merch for sure.

I mean, I could see where you're at. I'll give someone tickets. I think I have tickets to the show. you're at. I'll give someone tickets. I think I have tickets to the show. Sacramento? Yeah. You want to come to Sacramento? You know, I'll take it you want.

You can go have a section of just people I've promised tickets to. And with his, what's his name? Jaden? Jaden. With the kid? What's his dad's name? Eddie? Eddie.

His whole family is there right now. Yeah. And Eddie's wife is sitting in a seat by herself on the other side of the room uh yeah we could do something like that so what would we do like uh just whoever can submit the best tagline tagline for the describe the podcast yeah i think they're referencing um you know a couple weeks ago we We're like, how would you describe the show? Yeah, we could do that. Right?

Can you handle that? Sure. Can you handle all the submissions? We'll see. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it uh so i always act like i'm like before you say something like let me see if we can do like you're

like i mean i don't there's no one i talk to like it's me like i make i've thought that a little bit more even with my career where i've thought like well well, I don't know. Can I do that? When you go up, when you come up, like can I bring someone with me to feature? You're not allowed to do that, like your openers. The comedy clubs book their openers, and you're never – you're like you just get told what to do, and then you go do this.

And then it is funny. You finally switch into I can do whatever I want to do. It's whatever I think is best for the show. And then they just go, what do you? When I do a theater, it's like, all right, what do we got? I'll probably have two comics on the theater shows and then me. But I'm in charge of all that stuff. But you still kind of go, how many people can I bring?

You still want to ask someone? And you're like, yeah, there's no one to ask. Do whatever you want, man. Yeah, it's your show. Yeah. Yeah so i was they did that with that yeah we'll do that so uh that could be fun because then we could have people we could you know we'll read the votes i know people if you if you want on social media it's like follow us on uh follow the nateland podcast on social media uh because we'll be able a post you know all these a lot of clips all they're on there this kind of stuff uh so let's let's say it's got to go through or you know i'm just saying

it's got to go through social media but some people might not have social media yeah i was gonna say and i don't think they should get if you don't want it don't go get it yeah i was gonna say maybe email yeah um that's easier yeah because it can be a little lengthier. But they're just doing a tag. But it's got to be a quick tagline. Yeah. What did we say? It's the question.

Answer to a question nobody's asked. So we'll put that in there because that deserves to be in there. An answer to a question that no one asked. So that's one of them so something like that how would you describe it in this podcast and when you got to tell someone and they got to go wrap your head up it's a log line if you ever all the people out here writing scripts but a log line is you got a it's an elevator pitch how do you tell someone you know that's my favorite uh line uh greg giraldo last comic standing when uh uh they were talking about some movie and uh what's his name craig robinson i think was on

the stage and he goes i got a movie coming out and he goes it's a hot tub time machine and greg goes oh what's that about? What's hot though? There's a time machine. Oh, okay. I'm still getting emails from people telling me what they're giving up. Oh, yeah. I'm like, dude, he's been off of that for like four months.

We don't care. I forgot about that. He gave up on giving up. Dude, he gave up on giving up, dude. They're like, Nate changed my life. I'm like, dude, that lasted four days. Yeah. We got them started. What up on giving up dude they're like they changed my life thinking i'm like dude that lasted four days yeah we got them started what are they giving up i mean who knows i'll just tell them stop sending me stuff yeah yeah well maybe you need to pick it back up alcohol drugs

oh good well keep doing that heavy stuff yeah keep doing it keep doing that stuff i haven't drank so there you go i i quit that there you go yeah man so there you go we quit the sugar's been a little bit harder i'll be honest i'll be honest but i'll eventually i'll start the uh your little you know do it aaron aaron didn't tell anybody that's the move that's the move you just show up looking thin yeah and then uh but then the the other move is when we come back and go, I guess he's off that. Yeah, dude. That could happen, man.

You're going to know that when you're just – y'all come to a Nate Land episode and you're just facing forward and you're like, why is Aaron not looking straight ahead? You're like, he must have got off the intermittent fasting. You just noticed me starting to grow up, big hit of hair. I don't tell anybody I've been on keeps. Yeah, you've been using keeps, dude. This is a whole different group.

Well, we need to, maybe if you have some of those lists, we may read them. We'll read them the next week we do a podcast. Just to call people out, let them know. I do like people quitting stuff if they want to. Greg Cannon. I mean, if you're looking for something that sums up this podcast for your friends, look no further than Civilian Station's clip. Aaron's line, nobody's ever made that mistake before,

should be in the description of Nate Land. That's a pretty good one. Nobody's ever made that mistake before should be in the description of nayland that's a pretty good one yep nobody's ever made that mistake before i like it it's like the wording of that nobody's ever made that mistake before it's like that wording but it's gotta be worded a little bit yeah mistakes to describe yeah the stakes that yeah what's this podcast it's a show about mistakes you're gonna watch this yeah i don't know mistakes that nobody's ever made before yeah but that is a good way to describe it uh yeah i like that one we're gonna be getting a bunch of them send them yeah uh mark johnson nate announcing that his next comment was going to be off topic was as funny as it gets during a podcast where 95% of the comments are off topic.

I sometimes have to check to see what the episode is about to reconnect my brain. Keep them coming, guys. You make every Wednesday morning seem like a Christmas morning. See? So rare. see so rare that's why you know why we talk about uh this is why i love the podcast because of you all you listeners this is why this is the audience you would want to perform in front of uh by far by far the best odd i mean they just get it. Nothing's taken seriously. You can't. It's not just pent up

anger. It's like, be funny and then that's it. Because it's like, they got to get, you know, people always get mad with comics and they want to get rid of them. And I always think of it, in a comic's brain, if they do a joke that's offensive, they are just thinking about that joke. They have no

feelings about the person they could be making fun of or what that joke. They have no feelings about the person they could be making fun of or what that does. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, but just so you understand where the idea comes, it is just straight up, what can I do to make you laugh in this situation? And then they try it. And so, yes, sometimes it's awful and mean, but I think this audit like that's why i love this the audience just gets it like it's like you know it's like you you weed out all the people that are like this this podcast is about nothing you're like see you later yeah yeah it is yeah and then everybody else it's like it's great dude like it's just you know

reed jones i would love to hear y you all talk more about callbacks in comedy. I feel like I've heard so many comedians talk about how callbacks can be, can just be for cheap laughs, and your conversation about that seemed to bend that way. But couldn't you argue that that much of the humor of this actual podcast is built around callbacks? In fact, right after you were talking about callbacks being overused in comedy, the next comment included a callback

to the Blanchard family from previous episodes. So where is the line when it comes to callbacks in comedy? Well, the line is, I mean, when I do it, it's okay. And when everybody else does it, it's not. I think callbacks in this setting are good. Like it's, you know, this and like what we're doing here is like it's not um i think callbacks in this setting are good like it's it's it's you know this and like what we're doing here is like it's a world it's like seinfeld calling stuff back yeah it's your you know it's like this is a very inside joke this is a very like hey we're all buddies just hanging out so the callbacks are just you you do a lot of callbacks to your friends

and that's so i i think stand up in podcast callbacks are very different i actually like them a lot in podcast because i like the feeling of family really yeah and that everybody you got so many people that can kind of go like civilian stations and they're like oh yeah and i like being like no no you you know it's nice to be like you if you don't get it you don't get it uh callbacks and stand up i I've got a couple right now. There's always a lot of places for them. I won't do a call. I used to not like them at all.

I think now I will only do them if I don't think you, the audience, knows I'm doing them. So if the audience goes, why don't you call that back? If you're in the audience and you can come up and tell me that, hey, you should have done a call back there. I don't do it because you thought that. So it's too obvious. But if I can do it where you're not expecting it, then I'll do it. It's the same with the podcast, though. There are times people say, why didn't you guys do a call back to this?

And it's because it's too obvious. Like the president who was poisoned by drinking ice milk, I guess. Yeah. And people said, you just totally missed that opportunity to reference it. Well, that's too obvious. Yeah. I don't think I thought about it either then. Oh, well, never mind then.

But it's, yeah. Well, also, it's just that would be every line you could call back. You could call back something. Just get watered down with it over. Yeah, yeah. You know. They're uh yeah i do i don't mind callbacks i i like them uh and say you have a few in your last special

yeah yeah there's definitely becoming a little bit more i you just don't want it to feel like it's like uh-huh like it's like if a callback feels like and aha see how i did all that yeah yeah like i don't want it to feel like that yeah i want it to feel very natural and so it's got to just feel like it happens yeah the worst is you have where you get like a hey oh that's the worst i mean i'll quit comedy and that's that's like i got if you're like oh gosh i'm that i'm that uh like the dead horse, people would always say, what's the horse line? Beating a dead horse. Can't beat a dead horse.

So people would always be like, why don't you say that in it? And I did think of that. Yeah. But then everybody thinks of that. Yeah. So I don't say that because I should be better at this than you. This is what I do. Like not in an arrogant way, but as if I'm a professional comedian,

I shouldn't always do the thing that immediately pops in your head. Sometimes you have to. Right. So I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but you try not to. Well, you're also playing 3D chess in a way, Nate, because you are beating a dead horse. Yeah. So you don't need to use that term.

You're doing it. Exactly. You're very meta in that way. Ooh, I like that. Finally, Notre Dame's paying off. What about Eddie Cat? you're doing it exactly you're very meta in that way yeah i like that finally some notre dame's paying off uh get it what about eddie cat yeah exactly exactly eddie cat dude i don't remember eddie cat there's a joke about etiquette lady said you should say eddie cat oh eddie cat that's right yeah yeah eddie cat yeah uh Yeah, Eddie Cat. Yeah.

You do that sound. If I did that, people would start to go, like, what are we watching? What is this guy? Yeah. He used to say, Eddie Cat. Yeah, I don't know. He's got a Carhartt shirt on. I was confused by that i thought it was going to be a lot of like like kind of a tim allen yeah uh lauren lindsey i pay big bucks for an audiobook book narrated by Nate without any edits.

There would be, I would want to see if people could get through it. Yeah. Lauren, I'd want to see if you could get, I mean, if she could buckle down. Yeah. And it would be, it'd be a wild ride. If you wrote a book, would you do the audio book version of it? Yeah. Yeah. There you go.

Yeah. I do want to write a book. Do you know what about? No. Well, just your autobiography autobiography i do want to write an autobiography i you know what i should write an autobiography just now then i'm like here's what i think's going to happen and the last pages are just what i think's going to happen and then just envy the opposite i uh i've had agents like they talked about me writing a book like uh i think you know when you should write a book i think i could yeah uh but i think you kind of know when you're

if you're supposed to i would like to write a book i think it'd be it'd be you know just to i can't read i'd like to write it there's a There's a title. Yeah, that is a good title. I can't even read my own book. By Nate Bargetti. By Nate Bargetti. And it's just squibbly lines. I mean, that's like the, yeah, the Stone, I want it to be like the Stone Cold's book. It's like, I'm going to tell you something.

I went over there wrestling the other day. Like, his book reads like that. Yeah. He says, blah, blah, blah. Does he do an audio book of him reading it, Dina? Oh, I don't know. I've never listened to an audio book. That's a big thing now.

Yeah. And I never did it. It feels weird. Because I think a car ride, I could see why you would do it. Yeah. I still like a book. I don't even like reading it on like an iPad. But to me, it feels like you're reading a book.

You're just sitting like this. And you're like, what are you doing? You're like, I'm reading a book you're just sitting you're just sitting like this and you're like what are you doing you're like i'm reading a book and then you just sit there and then you're like like what do you i don't know what you you got to pay attention yeah and he's gonna sit and he's sitting there going i would love to hear you you know like just reading something and you're just... Yeah, you get startled. What's going on? Reading a book, dude.

Back up. Yeah, trying to read. Trying to read here for a second. I feel like you look dumb. Does it make you look dumber? If you... What, if you listen to an audiobook? Nah, people are doing it.

That's like smart. Usually driving, right? Usually driving, yeah. Tough to read while driving. Wendy Barlow. right usually driving yeah tough to read while driving uh wendy barlow i have lived in iowa my entire life and have a standard midwestern accent i also have a phd in literacy education regardless i've listened to your podcast so much that i caught myself saying he don't care the other day while talking to one of my employees thanks Thanks for dumbing me down, guys. He don't care.

He don't care. Mike Terry just realized my granddaughter looks like Brian Bates. There's a picture. We got her pulled up. Oh, my gosh. Bless her heart. What's in her eye that does look like you man that does and that's yeah oh cute baby though yeah obviously she needs keep some hair. Some keeps.

That's crazy, dude. That's crazy. It's smiling, but it looks a little worried. She was born 40. She's 40 years old. She's got a squirrel problem it's a lot of callbacks alright this week

we actually back to top I have a topic back to topic back on topic back on topic we were off topic yeah now we're back on it

it's in line versus online. That always makes me. That's a big New York thing. Yeah. It's all New York. Yeah, I'm online at the bank. So with online, I remember, I never heard that. Did you ever hear that before in New York?

No, I heard it from King of Queens. Yeah. So I never heard anybody ever say that. So if no one knows in New York, if they're standing in line, they say I'm online. So if you go to the grocery store and there's a line, you're like, well, I'm waiting online at this grocery store. So that's what they say. something like that and i just hear on the news like yeah they voted today online i went online and voted today and i was like you can vote online dude i was like are you kidding me i was like that's crazy and i started like looking it up and i couldn't find i was like where what is he talking about and i mean it was a long time and then i finally realized oh that's what they say that they say online yeah uh and they would say because we're there's a philosophy question is it in line or online you're you're the line what's the line you're the line are you in it

are you on top of it online in line i think you're you're a part of the line so you'd be in the line that's how i look at it yeah what makes a line a line yeah i mean the line is just the it's the shortest distance between two points that's what a lot but the people are decide what the line is okay so are you in it so that's what i mean you're not on the line because you're not there's not a line on the ground you're in it you're the line you are the line you are the line so that's what we should be saying i'm the line at the grocery store i'm the line i'm part i joined the line of this grocery store it's like uh i'm stuck in traffic but you are the traffic yeah you know but stuck saying stuck in traffic is is really

you're trashing everybody around you because you're going, I'm not the reason for this traffic, but I'm stuck in the nonsense of these morons on this interstate. Yeah, so that's where, you know, I don't know. Yeah, online, in line. All right, well. Let's get back on topic. Yeah, probably.

Never felt I have to care this podcast more. I did right at that moment. So a couple weeks ago, we talked about, we want to talk about the royal family. And I was very curious about the royal family. Yeah, I knew nothing about the royal family, and I still know almost nothing about it. But we talked about what power does the Queen really have over Prime Minister.

And I don't know very well, but so the United Kingdom. Do you like Prime Minister better than President? I like saying, I mean, we know President. President feels better to me. Yeah, President, you're like're like oh that's the guy prime minister you're like yeah he's up there but he's yeah he's got to talk to some like prime minister i feel like could get away with going i gotta what i was talking about earlier like when you run the show prime minister's like i gotta run this by so many people yeah and the

president you're like the president can't say that he goes i gotta run it you're like well you're the president yeah yeah the buck stops here but you're the one that decides it prime minister's gotta be like i don't you know i gotta talk to someone else and then we call the queen and he could probably yeah he could probably even go i gotta call the other prime minister and you're like there's two of them and you'd be like oh yeah yeah of course you would even you're like yeah yeah we got a couple because i got a minister if he's that he's like just gotta go to church with i mean i'm the prime one but i'm the prime Yeah, of course. You would even, you're like, yeah. Yeah, we got a couple. He goes, I got a minister. And if he's that, he's like, just got to go to church. I mean, I'm the prime one, but.

I'm the prime minister. I do have others. But there are other ministers, yeah. Yeah. But I always liked minister of defense. Minister of defense, is that what they call it over there? I don't know. I've heard that. So you're a secretary of defense is what it's here.

No, there's a football player. Who's the minister of defense? I thought it was, I think it's a label for. Well, I mean, there is No, there's a football player. Who's the minister of defense? I think it's a label for... Well, I mean, there is, but I think a football player... Reggie White was called the minister of defense. Okay.

But he got it because that is a real title. Yeah. That's just... Lloyd Austin. That's defense minister. Secretary of defense. He's a defense minister?

Secretary of defense is... Yeah, what is he? So the defender, he takes his notes. I said there was a minister of defense in India. Defense. Defense, Mr. Defense. He's the secretary of the defense. So he goes...

Defense's office. Defense's office. And everything goes whoa whoa whoa whoa we didn't say any of that because they're always on defense whoa whoa whoa whoa they're seeing a little defensive today aren't we a little jumpy huh because i didn't say anything i didn't say anything that's what i think of Secretary of Defense. Like the receptionist of the defense. Yeah. So the United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy,

meaning they have a monarchy, the queen or king, but they also have a constitution with elected officials and walls and such. So the monarch, in this case Queen Elizabeth, shares power with the government. She's the head of state, but all political power rests with the prime minister. He's the head of government.

So. I checked out doing a lot of that. All right. Let me ask you this. Yeah. Is there a woman more famous in the world

than Queen Elizabeth? Oprah? No, not more than Queen Elizabeth. Really? Yeah. I mean, you could argue. I mean, you got to look at Oprah. Everybody knows Oprah, but there's a younger generation that does not know her.

When her show's been off the air, she's not around. You don't think your daughter's generation knows who Oprah is? I mean, there's no way my daughter knows who Oprah is. Really? Does she know like Ariana Grande? No, but she's eight. I mean like, I mean she might, maybe, I guess, if she heard a song or something. I don't know if we're letting her listen to Ariana Grande. Taylor Swift?

Because you have all her albums. Yeah, she knows Taylor Swift. And then, but like she knows her, like is like, oh, Taylor Swift. I don't think if she met Taylor Swift, I don't think she would even really know. She would be more excited about meeting now a YouTuber or something. Would she be pumped about meeting the queen, do you think? I mean, she's eight.

So, yeah, we're talking like she's in college. You're that age, you love kings and queens and princesses and stuff like that. I don't know what's going on. I mean, her dad is not teaching her any of this. So I don't think she's going to be, unless she hears it from my mom. But I think Queen Elizabeth is, I think she's way more famous than Oprah. I mean, she's like, there's going to be other countries, dude. Everybody just knows.

The insanity that, I mean, it's a great thing. I mean, she's been alive forever, dude. She's been queen for almost 70 years. I mean, it's crazy, dude. Longer than any other monarch. Oh, really? Yeah. Well, that's impressive.

But if you're talking about fame, I think you take off, remove her from the context of being queen like take her off the throne put her flower hat away how many people do you think will know that that's her you just see her walking around like a kroger you would you're not gonna you're not gonna recognize her face you would go i i don't think i would dude yeah you would go i know her from somewhere like you said like oprah's more recognizable because of that her Her face is, I mean, dude, it's just been everywhere. Like, it's, I mean, it's, she just talked about her. Oprah would probably interview her if not or would want to.

Yeah. So you got to think, like, you know, I know Oprah's huge, but she's not more famous than Queen Elizabeth. Okay. I mean, she's been,

dude, so many people know her and you go see the castle if you go over there, see her house. Like, it's, yeah,

I don't think it's even, I don't think it's even close. I think Oprah took a big hit. I mean, you've seen her lawyers and she's popped up because she interviewed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Other than that, I don't even know what she's been doing. I mean, if you follow her, but if you don't follow, like she was in your face.

She was everywhere for so long. And like now that she kind of backs off, she's still everybody obviously knows who she is but i mean there's gonna be a younger generation that just they're not gonna know who oprah is uh i think not to harp on that i think michelle obama is more well known than the queen is dude i mean uh queen elizabeth is such a famous name like you just know the name like you know the name right i mean i could see maybe if her and michelle obama are you know if queen elizabeth and walks in kroger and oprah walks in kroger yeah i could maybe see that more people are going

to notice oprah just yeah and you she's so recognizable and the queen you know there was a story that queen elizabeth i think she was in scotland at one of her vacation homes and she was out for a walk and american tourist came up to her and said um ask where the queen lived and i think she and then they said have you ever met the queen and she said i, I haven't, but he has, pointing to her bodyguard. So she was very funny on the spot. Oh, that's funny. Now, I think she wasn't wearing the hat. She's probably wearing a scarf around her head.

And she's an old woman out on a walk, so you don't expect that to be the queen. But she was very funny off the cuff. And did she finally say, I'm the queen? I don't know. The story was from the security guard. I don't think she ever told them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Wow. It's crazy because she probably just, that's a funny story for her. And then that's like John Stockton in The Last Dance. And they were in Paris. And everybody's wearing the Dream Team shirts. I think it was The Last Dance. This was the Dream Team documentary. Yeah.

And he walks up. And he's filming it. And he walks up. And they go, we just love the Dream Team. It's our favorite. And she doesn't know who he is. He's on her shirt. Yeah. That's funny.

Did you see that? It was the other players couldn't go anywhere because they were so instantly recognizable. John Stockton had a normal vacation. Yeah, he just would. Went out with his family, filmed stuff, would walk up to him, just had a regular vacation. No one knew. But like George and Barkley, family filmed stuff would walk up to him just had a regular vacation no one knew they'd be able like george and barkley and they couldn't even

can't get out of the bus yeah yeah that's crazy yeah she um her her full name is elizabeth alexandra mary windsor so they're the house of windsor and know, they change names once they move up in royalty, or they can if they so choose. That was her, Elizabeth was her name, but Prince Charles is next in line, obviously, when she passes to, he'll be king. And they said he could change his name to King Edward or something like that. Well, Charles, like off of Charles, it's got to be off of the thing. He can keep, he could just keep Charles. I know, but is Edward, like off of Charles, it's got to be off of their thing. He can keep,

he could just keep Charles. I know, but is Edward like from Charles? Like, is that like Chuck? Oh, no,

no, no. No, those are two totally different names. So you just literally can change your name. Yeah, usually it's maybe. It could be the Steve.

It's usually, it's I think the name of a previous monarch. Yeah. But there was a Queen Elizabeth I and she's Queen Elizabeth II. Oh. And that's as far down as they've gone they've only made it to two for elizabeth oh there's a bunch more for them yeah yeah i just picture that's how long she's been around since the whole beginning of this we've only had two and you're like golly this is kind of new you're like

now they both just have been alive forever. So there'll be a queen, and then next will be a king. Well, Prince Charles is next in line, yeah. Yeah. And so then he'll be the king. Yep. That they're sisters. Or that's, no, that's his mom.

Yes. And then he's the king. Yeah. And then will he have a queen? Or is it always? His wife will be the queen consort or something like that. Not technically a ruler, but... You have to be bloodline. Yes.

So then... And then after him will be Prince William. Yep. The king. Yep. And then... William's kids. William's kids.

Yeah. So it doesn't... It goes straight down like... You would think... I would think maybe Harry would be after William, but it goes to William's kids. William's kids. Yeah, so it doesn't, it goes straight down like, you would think, I would think maybe Harry would be after William, but it goes to William's kids. So you got to have multiple kids.

Yeah, I mean, what's William got now? Three, I think? Yeah. And then if something happened to those kids, you got to go through them before it gets to Harry.

Yeah. So I looked up, there are 61 possible succession to the throne. And the first eight or 10, we probably have heard of at least, it's one of those people or their kids. But then you get to about 15. It's just people who have jobs.

Yeah. Just a guy who's got to go about his life. Yeah. He's working, selling real estate or- Wow. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean.

According to this? Especially, yeah, according to this. Well, not enough to live in the castle. They're just out there. I mean, would they not even be allowed in the castle? I mean, so much would have to happen. It's like, you know, at the, during the State of the Union, they always leave one person. Yeah, they leave like the Secretary of Labor.

Somebody. Deputy. I mean, everybody would leave one person. Yeah, they leave like the Secretary of Labor, Deputy, whatever. I mean, everybody would have to die. But number 61 here. He just sits in there. That person just sits in that room. He goes, he's talking to the Secret Service. He goes, I know it seems like nothing now. It feels dumb in here, right?

It could be dumb or it could get real real. Yeah. You know? And every time he comes to that room, they're like, we only lost three people how close was have you gotten that far in the west wing yet where they have a scene about that no give up on the west wing uh i've not watched any more of it uh but i i need to go back to it i'll go back to it i actually i well i started watching this show called startup

uh i've heard of it yeah Yeah. It was on Netflix. It's really good at making you think, oh, what's next? But it's a pretty way different show than the Western. I think he was watching the Westworld. The Westworld? No, I couldn't watch that. That always showed people get cut up and stuff like that. Like, I'm out.

Showing people like someone. How do these things, these movies movies they are shows they show like who wants to see this are we not done with that like the horror aspect of it like to be like you know what show this scene just cutting down someone's arm as they're you're like just just do it dude are they showing the inside of someone's you're like who's is there not anything that's just left where we, a little imagination? Yeah, yeah. I got to see the inside

of an arm on the show. I can't, I don't even watch the show because of that. I don't even get to enjoy it. It's scarier not to see it sometimes.

Just kind of tilt the camera away. That's why my favorite movie is Scream. Because you never see. Yeah. Yeah. It's always,

no one ever likes that when I was a favorite. It's what I haven't seen in Shawshank redemption but my favorite movie is scream so you want me to see shawshank redemption i doubt it uh i have a bowling ball the scream mask on the bowling ball uh laura's first gift laura ever bought me a bowling ball that's nice you guys used to bowl a lot more she never went but they uh hermit jelaine's me my buddy jeremy morrow pp uh we'd go and uh his nickname is pp but he pp the pronoun pp the pronoun oh yeah p was pp the pronoun oh and uh we would go uh hermit jelaine they had quarter mania and they would uh you'd always bowl hermit jel, I always loved him. My high is one – what did I bowl?

266. That's pretty good. Yeah. We would get – we were awesome. Like, me and him got really good. So we'd go up there. It was like, you know, right in college years, 1920. And we'd go up there as a quarter.

And so you could bowl forever. And we would bowl, I mean, every Wednesday just all for a few hours. So we got pretty good. So you're bowling a 266 while you're failing the bowling class. Yeah, yeah. I'm not an on-paper guy. I'm out in the real world. This is when you had to score it all yourselves?

No, this is when the machines do it. Okay. And then – You never had to bowl, were you? Yeah, in our bowling class, and I left. I mean, I kind of know how to do it, but I don't. I forgot it all. But you would try to learn that.

Yeah. But we would go up there, and then we went back. When I moved back home, we were like, hey, let's try to do it again. And so now we're in our late 30s, and it's like, it's all like, it gets night, like night light. Cosmic bowling. Cosmic bowling, like glow in the dark. And we're just like, music's so loud.

You're like, I think I'm out. But we do it some, but it's like you just want to go. Bowling's like sometimes hard to get a lane. There's always so many. It's not always the most spur-of-the-moment thing you can go do. You'll walk in and be like, let's go bowling. You walk in, they're like, oh, we got 50 leagues happening right now. Right, right.

And you're like, all right. And they're like, why are you even here? Like you're supposed to – I'm sorry I didn't get the email about the schedule of bowling. Bowling is like – it's almost like it would be like a country club, kind of like with golf but it's, you can't just wander up there

always, you know? A lot of parties and stuff like reserve lanes? Yeah, you have to do something like that but like it's not a, hey,

let's go stumble in here and go bowling. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Well, so there's 61 people. The number 61,

I looked her up, she is the granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth's first cousin, I think. So, I mean, so much would have to happen. You know.

Queen Elizabeth's granddaughter was an Olympic medalist. And, uh, like equestrian. Horse stuff? Yeah. That's what we'll be doing. That's what I'll be doing my whole life. That's what Harper's into.

My whole life's going to be horse stuff. I've made a career out of horse's into yeah my life's gonna be horse stuff yeah i've made a career out of horse stuff i have a daughter that loves horse stuff i'm not even that big of a horse guy uh you can take him or leave him really yeah there i have a new horse joke oh do you really yeah yeah well not a not a specific. There's no callbacks in it. Yeah, if you're Queen Elizabeth, so you're on to the first cousin, that's something to say. I'd put it on a business card,

you know, if I was her. Welcome to Jiffy Lube. Yeah. Number 61. 61 in line. A lot's got to go down, but if 10 go, I'm probably next. You got to down But if 10 go I'm probably next You gotta know that If 10 go

She's gotta 61 can come quick Yeah yeah Sure You know what I mean Like if you're in a situation Where 10 are gone The first six in line

For her For succession to the queen Have to get approval From her Before they marry She has to give them a consent That's weird Yeah I don't even know Like so she Like from her before they marry. She has to give them a consent. That's weird.

Yeah, I don't even know. Like, so she had, like... Like Harry and William, they had to go to her and almost ask for her blessing before they married. Megan didn't get it. I think Megan didn't. She probably just said,

obviously, you're wasting your time. Tell Megan not to bother. The energy of the room, we can tell this isn't going to work out. She's the only person in the world who doesn't require a passport for international travel. The president needs a passport? And Oprah.

And you're going to tell me, who else does? Oprah needs a couple of them. Queen Elizabeth doesn't need a passport, dude. That's crazy. Is it the only person? I think, you know, I just looked up president's travel. Yeah. Because I was thinking, like, do they have to pack or anything?

Like, if you're president, are you packing? Do you ever pack? Yeah. Is it just kind of like, no, we have suits in the Air Force One. If they stay in a hotel i don't know they probably don't stay in that many hotel you know they probably go home like what was the answer uh there's no real exact answer but they were just saying like yeah i bet they have someone you know kind of pack their bags and

i've seen i've gone out with someone on the road it's like celebrities that will do that they have uh uh i don't want to say his name i don't know it doesn't matter but it was like we'd be going his room would be like his assistant would go in and hang everything up and unpack and so when he goes in the room his thing's all packed when he leaves he just leaves and then assistant packs everything back up it's graham k wasn't it no yeah it's gary veter uh so you're gonna say nick yeah it's nick i mean you do gotta go help nick out you know i gotta go in there nick pack dude nick will pack uh for i mean he came to new york i think he went somewhere for a month, and he had a backpack. I mean, for a month. And you're like, this is it?

Nick's always like, you never know what flight Nick's going to be on either. Because he's going to get to the airport, something's going to happen. He'll try to get upgraded. He'll possibly, he'll just go to the airport and just try to get on one of the other flights. And he'll talk to everybody to try to get so you never know when he's gonna he can get away with it sometimes yeah yeah i mean he's just so convincing and like he's just like fun nick's like nick's the best to like go have you know be like hey we want to you want a table at a restaurant earlier yeah go send nick and

nick's gonna hey like you know just talk to him. He's just really good. Nick always comes up like, he's always like that. Hey. You think, you know. Yeah. Oh, man. The queen is the monarch of over, not over, of 16 commonwealth realms. That whole sentence I don't even understand. Starting at monarch, monarch to 16 commonwealth realms.

Can you imagine that? You just say that? that like that's what realm do you live in you're like oh I'm sorry Hunger Games I didn't mean to say what is a realm it's kind of like a country but it's more like some of these are countries

like Australia, Canada New Zealand. She's over those? Yeah. She's over Canada? Yeah, we talked about it in the Canada episode. She's on their money. I barely paid attention.

She's on their money. Oh, that's why. That's crazy. She visited the UFO landing pad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that. I remember that. That's the only thing I remember.

But I didn't think about her. Yeah. But again, I mean. So here's a map of the countries that are current Commonwealth realms. So blue is where she can't go. Blue is current. She can't step foot in. The reddest countries that used to be used to be colonies or Commonwealth realms.

Okay. So it's all kind of going. You think she ever goes down in Australia? Or is it always like oh god so far like i mean like you know just being like she's been trying to get rid of australia she's like why don't we why don't we even do it yeah she's trying to talk to them and she goes down there she's like you know what what if y'all just got your own queen and they're like no i think we really like you and she goes okay so I guess I gotta come back next month.

Yeah, we'll see you next month. Guys, I've been thinking about it. This is stupid. But you be king. She's just trying to give it to someone in the room. You want to be king? I just read a book. I can do that.

Australia. And is that half of New Zealand? What's right above it? New Zealand's below Australia. I don't know. I think that's maybe Papua New Guinea. Yeah's the – New Zealand or what's right above it? New Zealand's below Australia. I don't know. I think that's maybe Papua New Guinea. Yeah, here's New Zealand right here. I know where that was.

Papua New Guinea. You could have told me to go find Papua New Guinea. I might have tried to get in an aircraft, a spaceship, before I tried to go. I mean, I wouldn't have been in the right hemisphere. Is that a constellation? Yeah. I would have been so far. That was Papua New Guinea. Good work, Bates. Boom. Probably have been in the right. Is that a constellation? Yeah. I would have been so far. That was Papua New Guinea.

Good work, Bates. Boom. Probably didn't say it right. What's the other half of it? Mama New Guinea. Come on, dude. West Papa. West Papa.

Is it a different? Say it again. Mama New Guinea. I just caught up with that. That was funny. Is it a? I think it's part of Indonesia, man. Oh, Indonesia is even over there.

Yeah, there's a lot going on over here. Thailand is... I don't even think about... I was in the wrong area for a lot of things. I mean, I feel like I'm walking... Was this Cuba? It's like going to a party, and you don't know that person knows the other friend You're like what are you doing here?

And they're like no I live here dude You're like you live here? What is Thailand doing down there? Why are you not over You know Where is Maybe Thailand is where I think it is Because you keep going and it's LA

So maybe we just came at it a different way Where is it? Maybe Tytland is where I think it is because you keep going and it's LA. Oh, okay. So maybe we just came at it a different way. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, dude. I walked in the back of the house. I thought I've never gone in the front door. You know when you don't use someone's front door? You're like, I always come into the garage.

I didn't even see it. Okay. All right. Now I know where we're at. Let me get my bearings. Yeah. Okay. Papua New Guinea.

So what's the other? Is that another country? West or the other one? Would you say West? Mama New Guinea? Is that a different country? Yeah, it's a different thing. You feel like Papua New Guinea. Part of Indonesia, it looks like.

You feel like, well, it's just near there. One of the Indonesian islands. I don't know. Is it that? I mean mean i don't see another but if papua new guinea is if it's separate why don't they just go like can we just have our own thing like we're not even that big no dude it's just east of maluku okay yeah we have a listener on maluku i mean i will mail you a nateland shirt i mean i don't know how you get it in six months yeah it'll be a while before it gets there. Yeah.

Pretty wild. So the queen, the queen rules over all of this, huh? Yeah. I mean, again, ruling no,

no government. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So her, she wasn't even in line. Technically her uncle became King. And then he,

um, I forgot the word withdrew from the throne. Quit. There you go. Quit. That's not what I was going for, but abdicated. Abdicated, yeah. Abdicated the throne.

You know that word. Abdicate to remove yourself from the throne. It's one of those words that has a very narrow meaning, like defenestrate. You know what that word means? Yeah. Yeah. Is that a minister defenestrate. You know what that word means? Yeah. Yeah. Is that a minister defenestrate?

I think you've never listened to this podcast. I mean, I swear, dude. You know what defenestrate? It means to throw out of a window. Really? Yeah. It's like how often, how many opportunities do you get to use that word? Yeah.

I defenestrated this. You're about to find out. Where's Aaron? He got defenestrated. And you know about to find out. Where's Aaron? He got defenestrated. And you know who's going to tell you that message? The Secretary of Defense. The Secretary of Defenestration. So her uncle abdicated the throne because he wanted to marry an American woman

who had been divorced once and was in the process of getting divorced again. And the prime minister said, you can't do that. That's against the church of England. So, uh, so he just gave up the throne to be with this woman. And are they, they stay together? Oh, they did. So it was true love. I guess so.

Yeah. It'd be great if it was just like, he does that. And she's like, I, after like a week, she's like, I'm just not feeling this. And he's like i after like a week she's like i'm just not feeling this and he's like well i mean i gave up quite a bit just so you know i had a pretty good title she's i didn't know you're gonna do all that she goes well i always i liked it because you were the king what are you now she's he's like well now i'm like 75th in line yeah because he's probably not even lying anymore like it circles back around he gets back around to the back of the line he gets back online to the back buddy yeah and that and that cousin of uh the second granddaughter second cousins got a

little chipper attitude they have a big party going bye bye one more and she moves her head little head up one spot number 60 wow um yeah he suggested that how about i marry her and i keep the throne but she just not be called queen and they're like a good compromise i think yeah they didn't go for it i don't know that i don't feel like a family of compromises no it's like a not a not even a family but like uh you know like it's not you know it's sentence it's kind of set in stone it's like the rules are the rules yeah it's interesting though because but the prime minister is the one that's telling the king you can't do this and um but that feels good yeah oh god man they love that i bet they what you may call her i'll call her i mean he just thinks. He just constantly. I've been dying to call her.

Oh, no, I'll call her. No, you know what? Tell her to swing by. Yeah. So Queen Elizabeth's dad, his younger brother, then becomes king. You're from Memphis. Where are they from? I'm from Hollywood.

I'm from Hollywood. You're from Memphis, Tennessee. He just does that. I'm from Sussex. You're from does that. I'm from Sussex. You're from Sussex. I'm from Sussex. What's another town over there? I don't know.

I thought there wasn't one here you know the counties yeah I know the counties there's not a Sussex County you think the Royal Family what do they do they have a game night you think

they do they can't play Monopoly because it gets too heated oh it's like me and my brother playing Risk we used to get in I mean fights yeah we couldn't

handle it wow we just it wasn't a fun it wasn't you took it real seriously i think we could play it now we're older but i mean it was in our 20s we were two it was two you're two still brothers you're two it's like you're too much still so competitive there were two kids at my high school that played risk but isn't there a part of risk where you rolled you rolled dice yeah whoever has the highest number instead of doing that they played games of chess yeah instead of rolling dice so this game lasted eight nine months yeah they just played it every day but it's like being like instead there's, there's not a luck of the draw. No.

It's like you truly got to beat them. Yeah. Yeah. You had a wood play, gave a chess every time. I mean, I like it that if you wrap your head around, like, this is going to take nine months. It's going to be a long. It's going to be the full year.

Yeah, right. And it's, you know. But if you started losing, it would just be, because risk just starts tumbling down. Yeah, dude. You go from, like, it's fun to, like, you're just getting, like, it would just be because risk just starts tumbling down. You go from it's fun to you're just getting it's over. Risk is great. I love risk.

Is that what Kramer and Newman were playing? Yeah. Ukraine is weak. Ukraine's not weak. Yeah. So the queen's uncle, he was just a wild card. Nobody wanted him to be the king. He just did dumb stuff.

I guess the rule is when you get your face on the coin, you always look the opposite direction of the previous monarch. But he liked one side of his face because that's where his hair was parted. So he insisted on being the same side of the coin. And then about the time they get them printed, he was king for less than a year. Oh, wow. And then he was out. So there printed, he was king for less than a year. Oh, wow. And then he was out.

So there's like very few coins even out there. They're very rare, they said, if you have one with his face on it. But he has some, as he did. Yeah. But he showed her, I'm on a coin. She's like, well, I could do that at the Six Flags. Yeah, at the zoo. You put a penny in and crank the thing.

Why did you have to give up everything, we could just date it or something you know like can we go there and eat or something he's like they don't want me to go in there anymore lower the drawbridge for me anymore i'll be where do you live at a studio apartment where near Radio Shack where I work. It's just all, he gave up everything. He just has his. It's a huge mistake. Yeah.

Is he? Oh, God. Does anybody salute you anymore? My dog. You know, nothing. Just gave up everything, dude. All of it gone. He's not allowed to do, you know nothing just gave up everything dude all of it gone he's not allowed to do you know queen sends a card yeah every christmas something did you sign it you're like no i don't think so her it looks like her people sign it it's like uh no i'm not mistaken it's my granddaughter's

cousin looks like her handwriting. Oh, that's cool. Could she be queen one day? Maybe. A lot's going to happen. But that was the first domino to fall, so she got pretty excited about that. Have you guys seen the movie The King's speech yeah times yeah it's a good movie i've never watched it i think i tried and it felt too much yeah i don't know i'm just getting talked down to a little too close to home yeah well i don't even know what it's about. It's the guy that writes the speeches for him?

No. And I'm way off. It's not that at all? It's about the- Is it like an equalizer? Is he the prince or the king? He's the king. He's Queen Elizabeth's dad.

Okay. He's the king during World War II. Or one? Two. During World War II. And he has a really bad stutter. And he has to deliver these speeches. So he finds a speech

therapist to help him yeah that's what it's about it's not about the guy who writes him just the guy that teaches him so then it's just basically a two-hour watching a guy learn how not to stutter yes it is pretty much yeah okay does a good job. So you basically have to watch the whole time it takes. Yeah. My dad stuttered. Yeah. Yeah. Or speech impediment, like stuttered.

So I've seen it. I've seen it. Yeah. I've seen the movie. In real life. In real life. It's a great movie, though. It is a great movie.

Yeah. That was Queen Elizabeth's dad. He died at 56, and then she became queen at age 24. I mean, is there a ton of just him stuttering and slaps him in the face or something? Is that a scene? What are you... Huh? Is it?

When he slapped him in the face? The guy gets frustrated? Yeah. Oh, yeah. He gets real frustrated. Yeah. So that's a scene. But the speech therapist that he hires is very good and patient with him and fixes him yeah

yeah not fix it fixes the wrong word but helps him do the speeches yeah yeah well it's just based on a true story is it yeah okay yeah yeah for sure so then queen elizabeth becomes queen age 25 her mother now has to call her your royal highness. I'm going back to the Matrix, so. I just like not to know. Oh, that's cool. I watched all the Mission Impossibles twice. They do some king stuff in there. They do.

They have something over there. Royal family stuff in there. There's some British flag over there. I think a guy with a stutter. I think one of the ones they do, don't they capture the prime minister or something? I think they go to the Vatican. Randall, they kidnap the pope or something.

I would be in the group going, we got the prime minister. I'd be like, well, then who cares about that? No one's going to come after him. They're like, no, no, he's like the main guy. I'm like, oh. Oh, yeah, my bad. Oh, so it's good because i thought we grabbed the wrong person that's what it is in the game oh great what

we're trying to get 50 bucks yeah this is pointless this guy actually runs the whole thing he's above the queen yeah oh oh wow he tells the queen who to marry Zip up a little bit And you're like Sorry Here's some royal rules Yes Yeah If you eat With the queen In the royal family You have to eat fast

Because once she stops eating You have to stop eating I mean she's an old lady That's gonna not even eat Like if you ever eat With an older Like a grandmother They barely eat

Like so then she's like Just four peas And she an older like a grandmother they barely eat like so then she's like just four peas and she's like i'm out you're like huh i mean talk about intermittent fasting you thrive over there i mean that's you know you'd move up the ranks fast oh yeah yeah uh yeah you think that's one of the you know like there's the unwritten rule that you don't start eating until everybody has their plate but you think we did not honor that at your wedding by the way no that's fine well that's impossible to do at a wedding did we i mean i think we wait until everybody set the food down yeah at your table or whatever you know i didn't eat before there i jumped in that macaroni and cheese pretty quick almost every time i'm waiting somebody goes yeah go ahead dude don't wait on me i feel like the

queen has to do that. I don't think she does. Yeah, I'll just keep eating. I'm full, full at night. You don't think the queen has those kind of – I make fun of it. I actually don't mind it. I do like some of this kind of tradition.

I think it's kind of fun. I think it would be annoying. I bet in her immediate people that are around her, I bet it's a little they can do whatever they want. And then if you're kind of on the outskirts, I think it's a cool thing to say, oh, we can't eat. People want stuff to say. You don't want to go, how is it?

She goes, I don't know. She was like, she's out there burping. She said, no, I eat her feet. We're up on the table. You want the story to be like, I'm not allowed to eat when she eats. That's what you're buying in. But if you're a family, you're like, come on, Grandma. Oh, gosh.

Nah, nah. Come on. Let me eat. Come on, Nina. Me, me? I'm starving. You have to hold your knife in your right hand and fork it out. And just funny, sorry.

How old is she too that the 61st in line is a grandmother's cousin like it's like there's i mean there's so many amounts of people underneath her she's been around for so long that there's just uh they're like her she's like it's like grandchildren or just well prince charles has been first in line since he was three and he's now in his 70s. That's crazy, dude. He's like, I'm not even going to get a shot at this. Yeah. I'm not even going to get a good run.

Yeah. There's been talk about just skipping him. They should. Going to William. Ha, you can't do that. Come on, dude. You can't.

You know. What's up, dude? Yeah. You can't be like, he's just sitting there like, oh, no, I get to follow the one lady who won't die. You just can't. Oh, let's just sitting there like, oh, no, I get to follow the one lady. Who won't die. Who just can't.

Oh, let me guess, her physical went great. No, it's my mother. I love her. How long are you going to be here for? How old is she? 95. Her mother lived to be like 101. And she was still the, and they don't ever.

like 101 and she was still the and they don't ever i mean for for like 50 years her mom had to call her daughter um your royal majesty i mean do you you know do you call her like izzy or liz elizabeth maybe behind closed doors yeah beth yeah yeah that's a different one. All right, sorry. All right, so you hold the fork in your left hand, and instead of stabbing the food, you have to balance the food on the back of your fork and bring it to your mouth. So you don't use the actual. So what we're getting at is they don't know how to use a fork. Long story short.

Can you imagine that it's just been someone in their family didn't know how to use a fork, and then now it's turned into they're doing even like this 100 years later. And it's like, if you could go find that guy, they go to heaven, and they go, you remember the fork thing? He goes, I did that as a joke. That was like one day. Oh, they're still doing it.

Oh, they're still. He's like, what? So how would they do it? Turn the fork over and balance it on the back of the fork. And then maybe use your knife and lift it up. No spoons though, huh? Well, not for cutting. You're not going to use the prongs on the fork.

So why even give a fork? Might as well be a spoon. I don't know. Yeah, well, just use a knife according to this. wait till sporks make it over there dude they would be taco bells would try to get in that window forever they uh that doesn't even like what it when they do it like that i would be you look this up look that up i want to see if there's that's a real thing yeah this is only according to that. Yeah. But there... Because it doesn't...

It doesn't make... How would you... A, the older you get, you kind of shake. Yeah. So she just can't eat. Maybe you get used to it. It's probably like chopsticks for the first time. It seems impossible.

And then you just figure it out. They're all still pretty difficult. That's true. It doesn't make... It seems crazy to be... If you just put it on the back of your you know you can only eat one at a time and then i mean it's insane i've this is a bad dude if you went there and you go in the back of their forks now look like

regular fronts of the forks you're like all right dude well you're just using forks yeah he goes no no that's the back of it i go whatever whatever whatever we're calling it we're calling it that's fine but you're gonna tell me the back of the forks are, whatever. Whatever. Whatever. We're calling it. We're calling it. That's fine. But you go tell me the back of the fork's a fork. It sounds a lot worse than it's basically a double-sided fork. And I would think you would look, say, you know, shouldn't you look like power, right? If you're queen? Well, if I'm another kingdom and I go have dinner with them, I'm going to leave and be like, we're going to attack these people tomorrow.

Like, these are the dumbest people. They might shoot themselves with the cannon faced backwards. I'm just saying that's a possibility. If I'm another king of another kingdom, I would have walked out there. I mean, I would have stole stuff. I would have started knocking their drinks over and be like, we'll see you tomorrow morning. I would tell them how we're going to do it. I'm going to come over your dumb castle right in the front. You guys don't know how to eat. And then they get destroyed. All right. Nothing on it?

I mean, I can't find video of people eating. Well, I mean, depending on... I'll look into it. Yeah. I confirmed what Brian said. I found a bunch of articles about it. Oh, yeah. Okay. You're not supposed to found a bunch of articles about it. Oh, yeah. Okay.

But. You're not supposed to touch a member of the royal family, especially the queen, but Michelle Obama ignored it and hugged Queen Elizabeth in 2009.

Were people mad about that? Some people said the queen initiated it. Oh. Oh. But. Yeah.

That's supposed to be a big no-no. Like, no one can touch her right yeah I mean unless maybe if she invited you to

yeah Prince Philip yeah he obviously touched her yeah uh um women have to

uh women cannot cross their legs oh I saw yeah I think I saw that. She touches her. Maybe can she touch whoever she wants? I'm sure she can.

Yeah. I would like to deny her a hug. If I ever met, she'd try to give me a hug. I'd be like, absolutely not. I don't allow people to touch me either. I know I'm not anybody. I know I'm probably 80th in line or something to get your job. But I also don't, you know, just, ugh, heebie-jeebies.

You know what I mean? I just don't care for it. Women can't cross their legs in the royal family. They can cross their ankles, but not their legs. Oh, my ankles are crossed right now. That's got to be frustrating. Yeah. I love sitting with my legs crossed.

How? Like, you know. You play knee over the knee? Make sure Holly's not behind me. Yeah. I like it. Oh, you can do it like that. I can't get that far.

Oh, I'll sit like this all day. Big fan. Big, big fan. I'm an ankle on the knee. Yeah. That. Yeah, I don't like. I mean, I do that some.

That's the very man. Oh, yeah. That's like, you know, a guy. Oh, guy on his porch. Yeah. Just sitting there. Welcome. Feels good. Welcome. Glad to have you. It, a guy on his porch. Yeah, just sitting there. Welcome. Feels good.

Welcome. Glad to have you. It does feel like that, yeah. Whoa, whoa, don't touch my mama. Come on in. We have this, I don't know if you've watched the Royal Family stuff, but we have the same kind of rules they got. We do the same thing.

We do the same thing over here. We do. They have to travel. Anytime they travel, they have to travel with black clothes in case someone dies and they have to immediately go into mourning.

Oh, like, yeah, because the first picture they're going to get taken of them is going to be... There's like a whole thing they have to do. So Queen Elizabeth, when she was still princess,

was on vacation in Africa when her dad died and she didn't have any funeral clothes so she had to fly back and I guess her safari get up or something so now it's just a rule

if you fly somewhere you gotta have mourning clothes as they call it wow I mean it is like you know it seems crazy

but you're like yeah you would get with that amount of people that are gonna see like the eyes that are gonna be on her like she's going to get off that plane they're going to take a picture of what she did if she does have a safari thing on it giraffe pants everything gets sent out out of context like they go here's a picture of whatever of the queen after finding out and then you're like she doesn't care her dad died like yeah it is pretty crazy

i always think that dude like with you, you do, I mean, stops. But, like, you know, you get on TV or something. You're like, yeah, you got to make yourself. All these people are going to see this. You got to think about it. Same thing. I go the same thing she goes through. Go ahead.

Two heirs to the throne can't fly together in case there was a crash. Oh. So what's. The amount of booking all the flights for that. You got to do down to 60. All right. last one. She's taking... She's on Southwest.

She went on Spirit in the middle seat. Number 60 is just, you know. Spirit. Can I get a water? She goes, no. She goes, I'll give you water, but you can't check a bag. Can I have a little respect you know what if my plane goes down we're trying to we're hoping your plane goes down i'm gonna be honest with you and we're rooting

for it um the queen signals when her conversation is over to her staff by moving her purse from her left arm to her right arm it means i'm tired of this guy it's time to move on well it's not a very good secret yeah now if i met the queen that's all i'd be looking at yeah you know she just sits there and she just grabs it right in front of your face doesn't even try to be secretive about it and she goes i think you know why I did that. She dropped it. Yeah. She just hands you the purse. You're like, what's it? Boom.

You don't know what that signal is. Whoa, what's that? You're going to get tackled. Cart hard down. Cart hard down. She wears bold colors on purpose so people in the crowd can spot her easily so that could come off as arrogant but I think it comes off as like it's the same mentality as Joe I think it was Joe DiMaggio that said I play every Mickey Mantle either one but they play every game full-on because it's you never know it's some kid's first time and only time ever getting to come to the stadium.

It's not fair for that kid to not get to see me try my hardest. So that kind of thing is like you could see that's arrogant, and you're like, everybody wants to see her. Don't be dumb and act like you don't care. And so she's trying to do the right thing and be like, I'm making it easy for everybody, so I don't want to take anything from anybody. It's not about you. It's at that point.

It's not about you. It's about them. Yeah, that is there is a huge crowd. So you can easily spot her from a distance. Uh, the Royal family cannot vote or publicly express any opinion on political matters.

Hmm. They've done that. Haven't they? I haven't. Yeah. It's not been a big thing with Megan. Yeah. I haven't followed that much, hasn't that been a big thing? With Megan? Yeah. I haven't followed that much, but something's going on.

Well, she's new. And then we knew someone that is a comic that knows her, Matt Ruby. Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm. He knew her from New York just a long time ago. She was just an actress in New York? Yeah, yeah. Kind of crazy.

Yeah. Kind of crazy. And then she's now this. Wow. According to the documentary Serving the Royals Inside the Firm, that's what it's called,

The Firm, Prince Charles has his pajamas pressed every morning, his shoelaces are pressed flat with an iron, and he has his butler squeeze one inch of toothpaste on his toothbrush each morning.

That's pretty good. And he's got a special called The Greatest Average Brit. I make the same thing. What? Iron your pajama pants. What'd you say he's got a special? He's got a special called

The Greatest Average Brit. Yeah. That's funny. It's not that good. I mean, not after Mama, or Pop Mama Guinea. Trying to bring some comedy to this podcast. Somebody's got to.

Yeah, I'd love you to. At Christmas time, if you're a guest of the Queen, they weigh you. You have to weigh yourself before and after you leave. And it's a sign of respect. They want you to eat up and have a good time. So if you gain weight, that shows you enjoyed your stay. To me, that would be for something else, not that.

That I don't believe. Like what? Like you think it's... Make sure you don't have something in your coat. Make sure you don't steal something. Yeah. Like you don't walk out wearing a bunch of jewelry or something that you're supposed to i mean maybe but i think it's very few people get invited i think megan markle's mom was like the last new person to come for christmas dinner and so get on the scale ma'am uh i don't

think so like you know like this what do you they'd do if you've lost weight during this? I don't know. Get back in there. Eat some more. What was it? Food poisoning. Food stinks. Yeah.

They tell them that. Yeah. The royal family doesn't eat shellfish because of the threat of food poisoning. Oh. They just have to be so proper. Yeah. That's got to be just so. I mean, that's probably why you don't want to be out much. Because you have to be. You have to be so proper. Yeah. That's got to be just so, I mean, that's probably why you don't even want to be out much because you have to be,

you have to be that to people. Yeah. You have to be everything to these people, man. Like you have to be so proper. And so like, you can't like have just anything go wrong. I mean,

I think it's loosening up. Like it's going to loosen up. Obviously the Meghan Markle and Prince Henry or Harry thing, that's probably a good thing, even though it's like whether people want it or not, it's probably not a bad thing. It's probably going to make it be not a little more approachable than it ever was,

you know, whether you want it to be her or not. And I'm just saying like down the line will be, you know, a little bit better. Like even the Prince William and Kate Midd prince william and kate middleton but people love kate middleton like she's yeah i think she's like she's like people love her like princess die or something yeah yeah yeah so there's a whole in-depth process of when the queen dies

like the whole procedure once the doctor says she's dead the queen's private secretary calls the prime minister and says, London Bridge is down. That's the code word. And then they call. I mean, it's such a crazy code word just to kind of just then be like, she's 104. You know? Yeah.

Like, you know. It's like you think, like, London Bridge is down is like, it feels like. Assassination. Assassination. Yeah. And it's going to, like, London Bridge is down is like, it feels like- Assassination. Assassination. Yeah. And it's going to be like, London Bridge, he goes, London Bridge is falling down, I'll call you back. Now London Bridge is down.

Is that what the song is about? Probably. I don't think so. I mean, it has to be. I think this comes from the song. Oh. Okay. I mean, look it up.

I don't know. Yeah, it has to be. I mean, look it up. I don't know. Yeah, it has to be. I mean, there is a London Bridge, obviously. Yeah. I mean, what are the odds that that song has nothing to do with that? What's the... I'll look it up. All right.

So once they say London Bridge is down, then they call the 15 other commonwealth governments that we looked at on the map let them know and then i'll press out let's get a news release all at the same time but at the exact same moment in keeping with royal tradition a footman in mourning in mourning clothes comes outside with a notice and hangs out on the gate of buckingham Palace. So that's very old tradition. And at the same time, the royal family website also has an announcement on their website.

Then Prince Charles becomes king. He calls the government. The next day at 11 a.m., he's proclaimed king and they swear their loyalty to him. And then he goes on tour to visit the 15 other commonwealths. So it's a very formal, everything. And then they had the funeral. Yeah.

There's a funeral, but that's going to be just wild. Yeah. Like, I mean, it's, you know, that'll be a big deal.

Like I think when, when she, you know, it's been there so long, she's been there so long and it's probably the last, I mean when she, you know, it's been there so long. She's been there so long. And it's probably the last. I mean, he is too. But, like, you know, then once it's just going to change so much because it's like kind of that old stuff is going to be gone, you know.

What do you think the equivalent that would be of an American culture of somebody dying? Somebody who's just been an institution like that for so long. Or president. Yeah. I mean, as far as where everybody watches it or something. Yeah, or just like it would be that meaningful to American culture. Like a celebrity?

Mm-hmm. Betty White. I mean, it's like Biggie. Like when Biggie and Tupac died, they're like... Is he even talking about big kind of crazy funerals? Like those were huge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just a country mourning.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, a country would mourn. I guess, yeah. I guess that applies. He laughed a little too quick. Well, it was just funny to hear you say that. Biggie and Tupac?

Well, when they... I mean, I feel like it was on, you hear you say that biggie and tupac well they when they i mean i feel like it was on you know it was such a big deal yeah i mean especially in those but i guess in new york i guess the whole country like someone's got to go and it's the entire country i think it's got to be a president i think it's too you know yeah he's got to be a president i mean obviously there's some celebrities if they died suddenly you'd be shocking yeah yeah you're right oprah london bridge by the way yeah it's about i mean it's about the bridge yeah so not not really i always think like ring around the rosy that made me think every children's song has some hidden horrifying meaning. So this song, London Bridge is Falling Down, just about the bridge.

And then they use that as the same thing as that. I guess so. London Bridge is Down. That doesn't make sense. It has to be. And whoever came up with that song, I don't believe them. I don't believe them. Just say it, dude.

Just say the reason you came up with this because of this. Yeah. Do they talk about the London Bridge falling down a lot over there? I've never talked about a bridge falling down ever in my life. We got good bridges. I'm never worried. We got good bridges. We got way better bridges over here.

I've never heard of it. There's been a lot of songs about the Queensborough Bridge falling down. Golden Gate Bridge falling down. No. No. There was one time where the king and queen ruled together. William and Mary. Oh.

We named the college after them. Yep. As a token of our gratitude. Thanks. Why did they... Why did they rule together? Why do they not rule together now? Because they're not

Oh wait, because they've got to be blood So how did Do we want to get into this? No, it's not like that. In this case they made an exception The king was Catholic and they didn't like that So his daughter was a devout Protestant so they overthrew,

her husband helped overthrow the king and let her become queen. But she didn't really want to rule that much either. I'm probably getting part of this wrong. So since he helped overthrow, they just said, let's rule together. And they just ruled as king and queen, William and Mary.

I mean, it sounds like a mess. That was like, that's like a, that's Meghan and Harry. William and Mary. I mean, it sounds like a mess. Yeah. That was like, that's like a, that's Meghan and Harry. But back then, like where they, it's all like, there's just drama. Like, let's do it together. Like, you know. But that's, I think the second oldest college in the country. Yeah.

Is William and Mary. So TV viewership of these weddings, it's one of the most watched events ever in history the most watched of any royal thing is was diana's funeral 2.5 billion viewers in 1997 more than mash is that more than mash 2. billion yeah that's a third of the world a lot of people watch mash dude yeah in this country but this is worldwide mash was worldwide dude no mash was in the millions show was in vietnam dude uh korean war the that's so crazy is this the most watched thing okay no i think olympics and mash at 106 million. Imagine 106 million, a little less than 2.5 billion.

That's why I got canceled. Did you really think, did you really think it was a billion people watch mash? I thought it was an, an astronomical amount of people. Yeah, I did for, we talked about this on the TV episode for American viewership,

Superbowls and mash are the top things, but for worldwide it's Olympics, it's world cups and then princess diana's yeah i mean what was the most watched thing um i think it was one of the recent olympics maybe the 2012 olympics i mean it has to be more than 2.5 billion that's so crazy world cup 2010 2014 3.2 billion god but is that like every is that is that every like uh they're adding all the world cup viewers you know what i mean you mean through the whole tournament yeah uh that's a good question i don't know like this is the uh this is a one-time this is a one-time thing 2.5

I mean, it's got to be the most watched thing ever. I don't know. I mean, that's... Well, he looked up. There was something that was three point something billion. Yeah, that's the World Cup. But keep in mind...

But I know what I'm saying is this World Cup, is it one game or is it the entire tournament? Oh, right, right, right. If it's the entire tournament, then it's not the most watched thing. And keep in mind, this is 20-something years ago, so there's a lot more people in the world now. Largest collective global franchise viewing in the world

has been watched by 3.2 billion. Does that mean? FIFA World Cup has attracted an average of 3.2 billion viewers in 2010. Overall live event. Most watched overall live event by average. I know, but you see what I mean? So is that 10 games? What's the single most watched live event?

But there used to be an auction there. I worked at an auction, and I was driving home, and there's two gas stations across from each other, and I was right in – I don't know why. I was right in the middle of it, middle of those gas stations, and I heard it on the radio. They said Chris farley just died and i remember being right i just remember that's what i remember i mean i princess diane i was

So everybody was watching. Is this all billion? Baywatch was $1.1 billion? Yeah, what's up with that? Aloha from Hawaii. Was that Elvis? Yeah Baywatch was 1.1 billion? Yeah, what's up with that? Aloha from Hawaii. Was that Elvis? Yeah, that was Elvis. It was like a live concert.

The Wall live in Berlin. I's crazy. Yeah. Yeah, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman. Obama. Yeah. The Wall, live in Berlin. I kind of remember that. I just think I remember it being on TV. I don't remember watching it. That's a live concert. Oh, it is? Yeah.

I thought it was The Wall coming down. When did The Wall come down? About that same time. Oh, okay. The Gulf War, I remember watching that every night. That's a very broad thing, the Gulf War. You got one billion people. Yeah, of course, I guess, dude.

Is it just who heard about stuff? I don't even know what, there's something on there. Setami Jatar season one, I don't even know what... There's something on there. Setami Jatar Season 1. I don't even know what that is. Prince William and Catherine Middleton. They had a billion. Captain Middleton. Captain Middleton.

Prince Charles and Diana's wedding was a billion. Although I don't see it. Muhammad Ali. Prince Charles and Diana. Man. Do you think now with so many people just watch stuff online that can even track it the same no it's got but even yeah but not yeah 9-11 i think has to be up there that's a pretty interesting list. Go back down when he gets to 600 million. But I think 9-11 has to be up there because it just was, you know, it was like America just doesn't get attacked.

Yeah. So it's like that was such a crazy. And that was on everything. I mean, it was just the amount of people that, you know. Yeah, if you think about events that you just, like COVID is probably the craziest thing that's happened in our lifetime. But still, for just a singular event, where were you? You're not going to think about COVID. You think about 9-11.

Right. Yeah, I can't tell you where I was the first time I heard about COVID. Yeah. I know the day we stopped. I do because I was on the road. When you found out, when you heard that it was a thing? It was like March 12th was that last day. And then that was the day where everything got canceled.

Yeah, but you had heard of it before that. Not that much before. I mean, it was like people were kind of mentioning some stuff, but it was just kind of like, is this thing serious? Is it getting crazy or whatever? And then it was like, but everybody remembered just watching everything getting canceled. It was like 10, 11, 12 like it was like just all like kind of like this is canceled i remember that being on and i we had the video of that of me on them going like they just canceled

all arena shows on live you know for live nation and so it's like it was like that it's like all this stuff was like snowballing and be like, well, this is getting canceled. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Um, members of the Royal family, um, they have to walk in in line of succession. So Prince Philip always had to walk behind Queen Elizabeth.

But, um, so it's like they know. So it's like that. So she's the queen. He's next like that. Yeah. Like Prince Charles wife. Yeah wife has to walk behind him.

Yeah. But then if they all walk in together, well, now it would just be Queen Elizabeth, but then Charles, then his wife, then I'm drawn to William and his wife, and then the line of succession. So if they enter a room, it has to go in that particular order that makes sense it's such a headache yeah who's sitting there making sure all this happens i think it's but it's only proper kind of things so like formal events yeah i mean it's not like

you're just like i have to go to the bathroom can you get behind me real quick yeah yeah yeah yeah queen elizabeth was born you don't go it. That's all you don't think of. I have to. I had to go after Prince Henry. Oh, God. He's a guy who had gout, was the least of his problems. I don't think he's his head. He's his head.

You're like, oh, I had to follow the queen. You're like, I had to kill to follow the queen. Literally, and you can to move up if you want to. Do you think you'd like to be a member of a royal family? I think, yeah, I think it'd be crazy. You live, like, I mean, if you break it down into the fact of, like, do you want, you know, people are like, I don't want that celebrity.

I just don't think you're not, like, I think it's crazy. I bet they would tell you they wouldn't want it. Like, there could be times that they don't like it. but if you truly are like, you're born into it, you're, you appreciate what you're born into. You, you know, it's a tradition. It's, it's a tradition that I think helps a lot of people. I think people like watching this stuff. People like, you know, uh, you know, they, they like the country. It's, uh, it stands for that country. It stands for, you know, that stuff means a lot. It stands for that country. It stands for, you know, that stuff means a lot.

It means a lot to a lot of people. So if it's about, if you make it about you, you're not going to like it. If you make it about what it's supposed to be about is the people, then you will love it because you're giving to the people. But once you make it about yourself, and then, yeah, it's going to be too overwhelming and you're going to hate it. Yeah. end on that yeah
