let's go folks does it sound good yeah and we could be rolling with it he would this is we were having to uh pre-record this episode uh so we don't know when it's going to come out. So let's go, folks, might be already over. People might be furious that you just said that. It might be an edited out. Might have had to call and say the people are outside my land. They're at the front gate of my land.

I don't have a gate, if i did they would be out there what's up everybody uh obviously you can see uh i we are we're not in the studio i'm not there we're down in florida so uh we pre-recorded this let's go folks uh welcome to the nateland podcast i'm nate uh aaron brian uh i don't know i started it because i started that weird you know we were talking about and this is in the past uh you having more energy with your intermittent fasting. Yeah, and then I... You just fell asleep on the couch like an old man. So, I mean, you know, just wondering about that. Yeah. I had a long night last night.

That's true. That's true. And then I ate a nice meal for lunch. Yes. And then I put on baseball. It's the perfect storm, dude. It is the perfect storm. It's going to knock me out. A little College World Series.

Yeah. A little, you know, sandwich. Or did you have salad me out. A little College World Series. Yeah. A little, you know, sandwich. Do you have salad? I had a sandwich. Sandwich. Yeah. College World Series. I mean, that's, you know.

Try to stay awake. It's a recipe. Recipe for gal. And there's – that's a good nap. I feel good. I'm ready to go, dude. I'm about to kill this podcast. Like a nice, yeah, a good nap is a nice 20 minute, you know, 10 minutes.

Anything more than that, I think it throws your body off. 20 minutes is the sweet spot. Just kind of like rest. Yeah. Just rest your body. Just tap out for a minute, regroup. Yeah. I try to do that more on the road now.

I try to lay there i remember louis cat said that once uh very funny comedian and uh me and louie on the road and we're gonna try to take a nap and he says he gives himself 20 minutes if he can't fall asleep then he gets up and goes and i remember just thinking that that was almost like a good like don't sit there and try to make yourself you know it takes 40 minutes for you to get to sleep that's at night too when he goes to bed for the night no no no it's just for a nap okay i was gonna say yeah he's never slept i give it a go if it doesn't take i get up and do things at three in the morning uh no he, for a nap, you give yourself, go in there. Like, sometimes if you lay there and relax and, like, calm everything down. You know, you can fall asleep and take a nap where you're not really asleep and you're, you kind of hear everything, but then that's usually a pretty good,

it's a pretty good nap. Oh, man. Doesn't matter, dude. Let's go, folks. Let's go. Doesn't matter, dude. Let's go, folks. Let's go. It doesn't matter, dude. It could be our new tagline. Let's go, folks. It doesn't matter, you know.

Carlotta Simonson. Simonson? Simonson. Wow, the Simonson family. Thought you all died off, but apparently some of you are still hanging around that's why i was so confused by the name carlotta have we read hers before you know after you said whatever it was you just said yeah and he corrects you i think we have carlotta she's been on here quite a bit of deja vu there for a minute yeah when you said simonson it hit me like oh yeah

we've we've been's maybe the same comment. One of the many things I love about Nate Land is how professional the whole thing is and how committed they are to doing it week after week. I know it must be tough with touring to coordinate everyone's schedule to make sure this happens every week. I also love that it's in person only and not over Zoom. It's obvious that Nate gets it. He understands if it's worth doing, it's worth doing all the way.

Even in a podcast about nothing, it's a clear ton of work goes into it. I, for one, love it. Well, I love that, Carlotta. That's very nice. It is that. There is a lot of work that goes into it. Y'all's schedule is pretty wide open, but there... How do you

type in available? There's... but it is i i do appreciate that because i know we talk about nothing and dumb but we got a lot of cameras the crew and there's you know 25 people in this room during covid uh at all times And few of them had it. Leslie Hambrick. In my improv class, we learned the first rule of improv is yes and, which means that no matter what someone throws out, you go with it.

Nate's first rule of podcasting is that's stupid. We're not talking about that. When Aaron or Beaker throws out an idea he doesn't like. I know it's tough when the whole subject's that uh I love Yes And I did some improv uh and I remember Yes And and my favorite thing about improv is maybe my favorite thing in comedy like something that's bad is in improv when someone doesn't get it when someone doesn't get the Yes and it's so fun to watch when they're like, you know,

someone's like sitting here like, Oh, hi, welcome to the zoo. And the other guy goes, I've never been to a zoo in my life. All right. All right.

Just ends it. I mean, there's nothing better just to go. You here for your checkup? I died five years ago. And then they have to run with it. And they have to run with that. I mean, Michael Scott is one of the greatest. He's got all the guns.

With the guns. He holds his hands up. He whispers in his ear, and he holds his hands up. He goes, what did he tell you? He said, he can't show you right now, but he does have a gun. Give me all your guns. And he has to hand him all his guns. Wow.

He pulls one out by his leg. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's, I mean, he broke every, like they go, I'm at the lollipop. Give me your gun. You ever seen the clip of Liam Neeson and Ricky Gervais? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It's unbelievable. He does that exactly. I just talked about it this weekend. I mean, it's one of the greatest. It's the best thing of that whole show. Yeah. What show? It was Life's Too Short.

Life's Too Short. You're a hypochondriac. We talked about it this weekend. At the doctor. Oh, you didn't think I'd know, did you? No, we thought someone said it was extras. And then it's the life too short. Yeah.

Yeah. You're a hypochondriac. I go to the doctor, and he goes, oh, not you again. I've never been here. Yeah, yeah. Okay, jeez. Yeah. Ron Bridgewater.

Not sure if I listen to you folks too much, but this might be a sign that I do. I am a pastor, and this past Sunday when I got up to preach, the first thought that popped in my head was, hello, folks. It might have been the Holy Spirit. Not sure. I'm a little late to the 8-land party,

but so glad my son introduced me to it. Thanks for making me laugh on a daily basis. Also, Nate, could you please attempt to say, excess solicities. We sell. basis also nate could you please attempt to say excess solicities he sells i don't know that what is the word ecclesiastes ecclesiastes ecclesiastes oh man that took a it's like showing up to the wrong apartment uh i mean that's like me knocking on the door And then I look across the street And they're like no we're over here And you go oh I'm sorry

Y'all's house looks the same though I'm saying Ecclesiastics and Acesiles Would live across the street from each other An Acesiles triangle How do you spell Acesiles? Did you see this tweet that kind of got some traction Nate? Yeah

Nate Bargessi's transformation from youth pastor to pastor Yeah How do you spell it? Cecily's. Did you see this tweet that kind of got some traction, Nate? Yeah. Nate Bargessi's transformation from youth pastor to pastor. Yeah. That's so great. Yeah, it's funny. Yeah. Yeah. You really have changed.

Yeah. You know, start growing a beard. That helps. Everything else just falls into place after that. Everything else falls into place. Well, you just get older. If everything starts, you start, you're becoming less of an animal. You just start, you know, it just all kind of goes away. And then you're just like, all right,

I need to try to focus on the career a little bit. That would help out. Maybe he's going to say, let's go, folks. Let's go, folks. Hello, folks. I like hello folks still I'm fine with either one I mean who knows when this episode

comes out we might have already made the decision I kind of hope it's a let's go folks you're already backtracking a little bit I feel like no but I do think it's

I like it being that's a very original like that's no one says that I do like that I think that's important but probably shouldn't be talking about it because it's already happened madison hill so i had to emcee an event for work last night when i wrapped up my five minute intro

i sat down at my table and a woman leaned over me and said good great job you reminded me of my favorite comedian nate bargetti y'all have the exact same cadence. I just wanted to come clean here and let Nate know I must have stolen his cadence and tone unintentionally from listening to the podcast so much. I'm sorry. I will try to talk like him less. Well, Madison, I appreciate that. That'll be your last gig you ever get. You ever come in here.

Madison, you can have my cadence. Just with like $3 a day. I'll take $3 the whole day you use it. It's like one of those infomercials for $3 a day. $3 a day you can have my cadence. You can sponsor Nate Bargatze. And take my cadence. Take it out with me.

And solicities. You don't even know how to say stuff like that. Spencer Day, as a speech language pathologist working at a specialized stuttering facility, facility, just jam them all in a box. Is that what it is? A bunch of stutters they just throw in a facility, like a barn. They go, bah, bah, bah, bah, wah, and they They just throw in a facility, like a barn.

They go, bah, bah, bah, bah, wah, and they just shovel them in a barn. Don't open that door. That's what that sounds like. Don't open that door. What is it? Bah, bah, bah, bah, you just hear. It'll come out. All right.

I have to say, I really appreciated this episode. I generally feel like my best work is done on Wednesdays as if I'm already primed by listening to this chaotic mess of a podcast before helping others with speech, language, and communication difficulties. Thanks for the laughs and small highlights to our field. PSM, PSM. PSI, I'm currently taking new clients of either Nate or Barracuda for the nose whistling. Are interested. Love the podcast queue up the great work uh doesn't need me doesn't know i don't need any work yeah yeah

i don't know how big that facility is maybe if one of us goes down I'm bringing us all down you know someone did say that they – someone told me they think I have dyslexia. Well, we read that on a live podcast at Zany's. Oh, yeah. Someone said it again. Do you get checked for it?

Yeah, you – Oh, I did it online. I looked up an online thing. Did you take the test online? I didn't look up a – one's like just the rough questions to, I did it online. I looked up an online thing. Did you take the test online? I didn't look up. One's like just the rough questions to, I think, see if you should even be talked to. I was an answer to every yes to every one of them.

Like it was. Give me a second. And then. That's not what I want. I do. How do I have you asked? Yeah, hold on. What was that that we'll go back to that this is the uh have you how do i know this is from the parents perspective let me find let me find that to his parents yeah yeah all right andy asburn nate i'm a huge fan

of your comedy and and i'm an inspiring myself. I'm trying to learn the ropes and I've listened to every podcast interview of yours I can find. I hear you often talk about the importance of the hang when it comes to being around other comics. I've noticed that you have no problem making fun of Goutfoot and Broomstick, but you don't seem to like it when they return it to you.

Is the rule of the hang that a comic can't make fun of another comic unless they are equal or above them in their career? a comic can't make fun of another comic unless they are equal or above them in their career i think i get made fun of yeah we're about i'm about to quiz you on whether you have dyslexia yeah i feel like i know they i think so this happens a bunch and maybe i'm wrong but people tend to think that i don't get made fun of. I'm getting, I said, I get, you said it, made fun of you being old. I'm getting told that I don't know how to read. And people just

overlook it. I think maybe it's because when I make fun of y'all, it is better than when you make fun of me. And so then it feels like it's heavy handed. But that's not my fault. Y'all are not as good. So what do you want? What is, Andy, what do I need to do when i'm

hanging around lesser than he's telling us to step it up i think i think that's the message you can you can make fun of a comic you that's new york is like look i do think you learn to you gotta learn when to do it if you're a younger comic you don't want to come in and just be like you're trying and like it's getting too much so it's like have fun and make fun of each other you're going to go harder on the people you're closer to yeah and then if you are around someone that's older i do think there's a little you know you just don't do it as much because they're older than you and reverence yeah and you're just kind of like i don't know it's yeah you look at them as like a senior something you know or something like that and so you wouldn't go as crazy the most so that and there is a little truth in that the most you're going to get is people

around the same age starting not even age but comic comedy age yeah those people are going to comics are going to go the hardest after each other. And then I think there is a difference in the fact of like, just in your careers, you're going to like, when I was with, uh, I mean, when I was with all the comics that were older than me,

if I'm going to burr, I'm around burr. Like I don't make fun of birds ton. Like I could joke around and make fun of them. I could, but I don't like it's, it's uncomfortable. Like it's uncomfortable like it's

but it's burr and you're like i'm just not going to do that as much but he could trash me and burr wouldn't be burr's not saying he would try to stop me from judging him but he would you know that's just the dynamic between yeah do you want to take this self-assessment yeah let's see what it is number one this is for you andy that thinks number one do you read slowly no i mean that's crazy did you have trouble learning how to read when you're in school Number one, do you read slowly? No. I mean, that's crazy. Did you have trouble learning how to read when you were in school? I mean, I guess it doesn't look like I learned. Do you often have to read something two or three times before it makes sense?

I mean, who wrote this? Is it folk? Did a folk write this? Are you uncomfortable reading out loud? I mean, it's embarrassing. am like i don't i wouldn't in this setting i'm fine but i'm not gonna do it in uh do you ever read out loud like a church or stuff stuff like that like yeah no i would never do that do you omit transpose or add letters when reading or writing i think i see a different sentence than y'all see do you find you still have spelling mistakes in your writing even after using spell check

i sometimes spell check can't even i'm not even on the same page where they go i don't even know what you're trying to do do you find it difficult to pronounce uncommon multi-syllable words when you are reading i mean i'll answer that one yeah do you choose to read magazines or short articles rather than books and novels longer books i don't even i think a magazine's pretty long i don't know what kind of magazine that yeah like what's shorter than a magazine and who's reading uh yeah are short articles yeah whole magazine no i don't do i breeze through a short article yeah do i get a glimpse of it when you were in school did you find it extremely difficult

to learn a foreign language i remember we took spanish and it was very brief and i don't know how i can say ola and agua and stuff but i don't i didn't do much with it so i didn't take more i mean i could say hello and water yeah i mean i don't know what else you want what are you what else you're gonna say if you're in trouble i'll go down there hola agua yeah those are mainly the two things i need do you avoid work projects or courses that require extensive reading yeah i mean i started stand-up comedy where i don't have to read. I did it so much so that I got out of the – I think there's yes on – what is that –

I mean, what are the other yeses you haven't said? Did you have trouble learning how to read when you were in school? I mean, yeah. All right, I was being nice on some of these. No, I mean, it's for my health, so you don't have to be nice. So it is. Do I have it? Well, the self-assessment, I am 10 for 10 on yeses.

So we'll get a doctor in and maybe check it out. We'll get one on the pod. What are you supposed to do? You have dyslexia. Get sapped, Archon. What does that mean? I thought it meant you read stuff back. It's like you just look at stuff wrong.

God. That is some of it. So, yeah. You know, Dr. Safdar Khan. You can get Safdar Khan. I will be in this Spencer Day. Yeah, Spencer Day. We're being that facility.

We got a guy right here. Oh, that's right. I'll be in there. We'll get him. Yeah. Just here in the other room here. He's a bunch of nose whistlers. Just in the right there. You go, the right there is there like birds in here you go no i got nose whistling class at 12

and just like no yeah no do it again no everybody back away back away yeah he's got everybody grabs a breathe right before they sit down yeah alright well you know Rudy had dyslexia did he? he did that's cool and they made a movie about him what do you do?

it's not fun I bet it's not fun it's not even worth looking into I wouldn't I haven't even checked to see if I have gout it's not fun it's not even worth looking into i wouldn't i haven't even checked to see if i have gout it's been a year yeah but is it gout which one's more embarrassing gout goes away gout's pretty embarrassing the gout goes away i'm 29 years old with gout that's pretty yeah but then you've lost like 50 pounds or something okay Okay. Yeah. I mean, you really answered it.

So you've gotten better. Yeah. Does it, what do they, dyslexia, they just take you out in the barn and shoot you like a horse? Like, I don't know. I think at about eight, like, if he teaches you, or anyone teaches you about your weight, you could lose 100 pounds in a year and show them. Or anything, almost anything you could prove people wrong. Yeah.

But for someone who makes fun of your age, it's like, I'm going to prove them. A year later, you're just going to be a year older. There's nothing you can do. It's just going to get worse. I'm going to work really hard, and then a year from now, I'll be older than I am now. You had to make it all about you, didn't you?

And learn to have dyslexia. We can't make fun of your age. We can fix that. It's a very old thing. How can you fix dyslexia? That's what he's asking. I don't know. Well, I think the speech pathologist can do it.

It'll change my whole game up. Jay Workman. That's a good name. Since Nate hates Let's Go, I would like to get his take on the fan who yells, get in the hole on every putt during golf tournaments. They do it on team shots too. Yeah, it's ridiculous.

Here's my thing with sayings that I truly believe. If you hear it so much, don't be the one that says it. Come up with a different thing. That's all that you got to do that's almost like you see homeless guys have funny signs well there's a for a while you're like i've already seen that sign dude like and so it's like but when the guy has this super original sign then you kind of go i haven't never seen that one and that's the same way they're getting the whole mashed potato you know baba booey there i i kind of understand baba booey

because it's howard stern they're trying to you know howard stern usually like shows plays that but uh it's uh yeah i don't i don't come up with the original one that's all i would say to me the guy that yells get in the hole is the guy that yells free bird at a band yeah yeah where they think it's so original and clever and funny but everyone else like god i've heard that million times million times and it's very annoying yeah they haven't heard let's go folks or maybe yeah hello folks hello folks on a could be good on a golf tournament right after a ball sit hello folks that would be very we're like well we definitely know what that means like no you don't say that in that scenario colt keller hey nate and crew love the episodes and just the random things y'all banter about the more i've listened the more i've i'm

convinced that nate and i would probably be great friends mcdonald's golf and random rants to get serious about nothing keep it up guys. Gout isn't a joke. I'm 28 and dealt with it since I was 19. It's definitely something you don't want. Took a turn. 19. That did take a turn. Thanks, Colt.

Yeah. He's looking out for you, man. You know? You want to take a test on if you got gout or not? Yeah. Do you have trouble reading? Oh, no. Do you have trouble reading? I don't know. Do you wear Walmart slippers?

I do wear Walmart slippers quite a bit. Do you have two different size socks? The ideal way to diagnose gout is to draw fluid out of the joint and have the fluid examined. Well, I can't do that on the podcast. Sure we can. Dr. Saftar Khan. Yeah. Well, yeah, we got real doctors, dude. They come in here and do it. Get Saftar Khan. Yeah. Well, yeah, we got real doctors, dude. They come in here and do it.

Get Saftar Khan on. He gets under the table like Holly. Down there doing the show by the end of it. You just see him. He cuts your ankle open and he takes it on the finger and goes, tastes like mayonnaise. Gout. Gout.

gout. Is that? This is mayonnaise in my joints. Bingo. Yeah, a little spicy. Marion Scott Lusk. Lusk. Like the Lusk mattress.

I challenge Nate to not touch his microphone for 60 seconds or be nice to breakfast for 60 seconds. Your choice. I do touch it. But I think a lot of people do. I won't touch the microphone for 60 seconds. Easiest question ever been asked. That's like when Michael Scott was trying to pretend like he liked Toby.

I can't. I can't do it. I can't. He's the worst. He's the worst. Ben Simpson. Nate, when you're on podcasts like Tom Segura,

Your Mom's House, which is a completely different style of humor than yours, you seem to have a pretty good skill of turning uncomfortable questions or topics back to your own style of humor deflecting the topic to something else just wondering if that was

something you developed over time uh yeah yeah it would have been i mean just over the years of i'm not going to go there uh so you just make a joke on whatever they're going to talk about people are pretty good sagur and them are pretty good with, you know, me and him talk a little bit. We're like, we're friends. Like, I think we both are very interested. We, you know, like, I don't know where we're at in our careers and both as comics.

Like, so I really liked our conversation on there because we talked a lot about comedy and stuff like that. So, but yeah. Yeah, you do do get you did get good at it i mean i you know i don't think it's like you intentionally yeah but i guess you are you do work at it you get good at it it's like i always think something like it's like i specifically work on this thing but it's like yeah i mean i had to do it every comedy show ever did in new New York going up. I mean, I was following everybody's dirty closer with a clean opener because I would be next. And so it would just be like, you have to figure out how do I get these people into switching gears? So you do that. But I mean, they were good.

You know, Tom and them were so good. Tom and Christina are so great. So Sean Moose, the Michael Scott quote perfectly describes what it's like to listen to Nate read. Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going.

I just hope I find it along the way. Like an improv conversation. An improvisation. Yeah. That is that. Glenn Whelan, hello folks.

I created the Nateland theme park in a video game called Planet Coaster. I just wanted to show you guys how much you are all appreciated and congratulate you on the first anniversary wow do you want to see the name theme park that's crazy what is this on a game called planet coaster can you play the game you you it's like sim city i'm guessing where just build it, but there's a mode where you can take the perspective of somebody going to the

park and we're kind of walking around. Is that me? Zany's is there in the background. There's a Planet Fitness. Isn't this crazy? That's crazy, dude. Even in the Zany's,

there's a truck that's crashed into the wall. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, I didn't see that. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, I didn't see that. Oh, man. Wow.

Would people go to this theme park? I want a theme park now. I never not wanted one. And it would be, the entrance would be, the word E would be spelled backwards. A little nod to the dyslexia that I died from. And I didn't survive. He died of dyslexia.

They took him out back and shot him when he found out he had it yeah good he can't read alright this week since we

this is it will be coming out in a few weeks so I don't know when but we are going to talk about discoveries discoveries like I just discovered I have dyslexia yep So I don't know when, but we are going to talk about... Discoveries. Discoveries.

Like I just discovered I have dyslexia. Yep. Almost anything can be a discovery, I guess. If you find a $20 bill in your pocket you didn't know you had, is that a discovery? Yeah, I think so. I think it's a found. It's a found?

It's not like you found it. Those words are pretty similar. similar i know but they're not discovery i would you know that's you know if you're columbus and you the guy next to him goes well i discovered a $20 bill on my pocket last night and you're like all right we're taking a little steam away from a little liberty there i discovered America. Or whatever he discovered. Did he do America? He was in the Americas. The Americas, yeah.

Yeah. Well, we've talked about some. We talked about some of the explorers in the Renaissance episode, I guess. And some of the guys discovered planets and stuff like that. These are more like surprise discoveries. First, like in medicine, pen penicillin penicillin changed the world it's that's antibiotics and this guy was not trying to stupid i mean just

talk it's like people get sick and they take medicine i mean this is a paper people write on it okay i don't want to assume anything on here. Maybe assume some so you don't point out too much. Do I get made fun of? I mean, no, I get just told I don't even know what. All right. Sir Alexander Fleming was trying to do an experiment on the flu virus he took a two-week vacation and left his workout and came back and found mold it started growing

on it but he noticed that destroyed the virus and that's what led to penicillin which changed the world. Yeah. That's amazing. Does he make money off of it? I don't know. If it's patented. Like, is the Penicillin family, do they get, are they good? Are they set? Like, his family should be set forever, right? The Penicillin family? The Penicillin family.

There's one guy, right, that found it. Well, the Sir Alexander Fleming was the guy who found it, yeah. Yeah, so the Fleming family should be, if you're a Fleming, like we got. I would hope so, dude. Yeah. They've saved millions of lives. Yeah. So I hope they're set.

Yeah, that's what I mean. I'm just saying I hope that's the case. I hope so, too. Yeah, I don what I mean. I'm just saying I hope that's the case. I hope so, too. Yeah, I don't know. It was in the 1920s. Can that name in the 20s? Sir Alexander. Where was he at?

He was Scottish. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's him? Yeah, I mean, are they doing good as a family? Got on a stamp? Yeah. Yeah, but I mean,'ve learned he no one respects anything queen's on money who is it who isn't on money we got a theme park doesn't matter you know everybody can get everything uh

and this guy's got on a stamp yeah it's like i wonder if stamp. Yeah. It's like, I wonder if they make, you know, it's like, is that like, but it's pharmacy money even, you know. Big pharma. Big pharma. You know, a lot of these guys. You know, why didn't he sell this to Pfizer? Well, a lot of these guys that make discoveries in medicine, they elect not to sell the patent just so that everyone can get things cheaply. And they just choose not to make any money. It's possible this guy does that.

Which is the best. When you hear people did that, they're like, yeah, I'll just make it available to everybody. Yeah, yeah. It's the greatest thing. It's the point of it. Versus making money off it. But it can also be the incentive for people

to do research and find stuff out. If you know that you're going to be able to making money off it. But it can also be the incentive for people to do research and find stuff out if you know that you're going to be able to make money from it. So it's like it's a balance. But if you have something like that, if it's, you know, look, if it's to cure gout, don't spill the beans. I get it. You know? But if it's the main thing.

Yeah. Oh, that's, yeah, that's fair. And change. They were arguing about the main thing yeah oh that's yeah that's fair and changes that's what they were arguing about the covet thing right it was like they were all like uh they none of none of them were given the how to make it and they're like we'll just tell us and they're like no we don't you're like well it's affected the whole world so maybe we should know right maybe don't try to make we just let us know this time yeah Yeah. So it's like you can look at stuff. There's plenty of money to be made off vaccines or whatever. So it's like, yeah, let's make the other one a little more available.

Yeah. Speaking of Pfizer, they patented Viagra. They were doing treatments for heart conditions on men and they noticed it had some different side effects and that's what led to that. And then they got Pele, who was probably one of the most famous people in the world to do a campaign ad for it

and that's what led to Viagra. The soccer player? Yeah. They did a commercial for it. That's crazy. They don't even do commercials for it, too. That's crazy. Yeah. They don't even do, do they do commercials for it? I guess they still do.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. All the time. Yeah. Seattle, it's Viagra. Yeah. I remember seeing like Rafael Palmeiro and I think Tino Martinez and all these baseball players start to do Viagra commercials early on. Before the steroid stuff came out?

I think so, yeah. I think right around there. Yeah. That's when they had to do it. Yeah. And they go, do you still do it now out? I think so, yeah. I think right around there. Yeah, that's when they had to do it. And they go, do you still do it now? He goes, surprisingly, no. Huh. Huh. Who would have thought? Who would have thunk it?

There it goes. Rafael Perrault's the one that famously wagged his finger at Congress. I remember watching that live. I did not take steroids. And then I remember watching that live. You know who I never thought did anything? What's the guy for the Brewers?

Gary Sheffield? No, Tony Gwynn. Tony Gwynn. Yeah, the outfielder. Yeah. It wasn't Christian Gellich, was it? Oh, Ryan Braun? Tony Quinn. Yeah, the outfielder. Yeah. It wasn't Christian Yelich, was it? Oh, Ryan Braun? Ryan Braun.

Yeah. Like when he came out and said, I didn't do it, and he was like, they did something. I think I remember thinking like, yeah, this guy didn't do it. He didn't look, he's not like enormous. Yeah. And so you didn't think that. And then, I mean, and it just came out and you were like, oh, this guy.

And they just crushed him. Immediately just said no. I was looking the other day at, if you look at Barry Bonds, the size of his head, because that was introduced in those testimonies. Yeah. Was how his hat size changed throughout the year. I mean, look at this picture. Look at what he started.

I mean, just his head is changed throughout the year. I mean, look at this picture. Look at what he started. I mean, just his head is so different. Yeah. I think he went up like a half a hat size throughout, you know, and that just doesn't happen to people. Your head just doesn't get half a hat size bigger as you get older, you know. It's just shaped completely different. It's wild. That one's not real. it looks like he's a real bobblehead

that must be bobblehead night no that's barry bonds oh do you think he got a royal deal of like you know i always think like i like when someone says like they should be uh just put them in a different section or something like that. Yeah. Like, it's like you don't take them out of the, you know, the Hall of Fame. You didn't pretend that these guys didn't dominate the sport for decades. Yeah, but I get it. It's tough.

Like, the guys that did played fairly. Mm-hmm. So I understand that. I understand that, like, the toughness of like having to deal with that decision but like p row like p rose it's like just put him in dude but it is kind of crazy when you talk about p rose did gamble and it's just been so far removed that they're like letting him go but it is funny that you go all right dude you probably every time you go back and go let's just let him in let's re-look at the case. What did he do? He bet on the games he played in.

And they go, you know what I mean? And it's still like, dude, I just bet on my team. You're like, well, how do we ever know that? Yeah. Is it right? I've never heard that perspective before. That's interesting. What?

How do you? I mean, almost everyone I talk to about this, they're like, ah, who cares? Just let him in. He's the best ever. Yeah. But I've never really thought about what he was accused of doing and what he did. Well, if you go look at it, I would say let him in.

But I would think every time you go, because you get removed from it, and I think every time you go, all right, let me look at what his case was again. He bet on the games he played in. Yeah. And then someone's like, well, he only bet on his team. You're like, so who said that? Him?

Yeah, him. Him? He told us that he only bet on the games he played in? That's a lot of trust. Now, I have nothing against P. Rose. I think he should be in it. But I do understand. I bet every time you go look at it, you'd be I have nothing against P. Rose. I think he should be in it. But I do understand. I bet every time you go look at it, you'd be like, we just can't.

He's bad on these games. It's the main thing. Shoeless Joe Jackson. That was the whole thing. And you got them out, right? They made a movie about him. Didn't they? Yeah.

Eight men out. Eight men out yeah eight men out eight men out yeah yeah okay a lot of thinking on this podcast pondering these are uh give me a lot to think about man some surprise discoveries the microwave the guy was trying to make an energy source radar, but he noticed this chocolate bar in his pocket. It melted. So he's like, let me try it with popcorn. He put popcorn in it and it started popping.

That's how the microwave was invented. There's a lot of, I think if you're married to an inventor, it's a lot of like golf for you. Like, I think I got it. Like, I think it's a lot of switching, you know? It's like I'm doing a radar thing. You're like, oh, it's great, man. That's cool. And then like a week later, lot of switching you know it's like i'm doing a radar thing you're like oh it's great man that's cool and then like a week later what

are you doing he's like yeah the radar thing i'm like we'll do a thing that heats up food and you go okay like it's like you know you go from respecting the guy to then go not respecting him to then that guy is the most respected yeah but when he first you know he had to go talk to a neighbor and that he just said you know i was talking about the radar thing i'm not kind of off that now and like these guys that invent stuff you are always just kind of throwing stuff out and you just tolerate it right you know at first you're like oh that's cool man and then there's probably years of just garbage yeah nothing working nothing yeah and you're like all right yeah okay dude and then he tells you we work this radar thing forever

and then he's like i'm gonna heat up food quick in a microwave and you're like i don't care i don't and you just hope that's not the time you do it because then that becomes huge yeah and then you're like, you got to then be- Should have believed in him one more time. One more time. And you're sitting here at a Sears buying his thing. I hope the Microwave family's doing well too. It's this guy.

I mean, like is this guy, look up his net worth. Percy Spencer. Percy Spencer's net worth. I mean, the Microwave, microwave can you is it something that uh you can is one of the richest inventors yeah at 1.5 million dollars uh he's doing great wow yeah i don't know was very, very young when he discovered this. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's...

Yeah. He was a millionaire at the time. When did the microgram get invented? When World War II was ending, so the 40s. Okay. So 1.5 million, if that's what they're saying then, that was a ton of money. Yeah. Yeah.

Good for him. Yeah. Good for him. He deserves it. God knows I use his product a lot. He used it yesterday. Used it every day. Yeah, it's a big one. I don't know how it works. It's hot as an oven, but you can open it up.

Immediately. Yeah, and touch the side of it. Doesn't someone have a joke about that? I don't know. Yeah. All right. Good night. Some energy.

Y'all better get some. I do. All right. Let's step it up. Look it up. Here we go. Jokes about microwaves. Anesthesia.

During the early 1800s. This is this episode that's what they're gonna do get your wisdom teeth out they're gonna just play this episode what does a microwave and the person's gonna be so asleep they don't feel

being stabbed in the mouth that's how that's how the silence of the boringness of this podcast has gotten what's the difference between a microwaved sweet potato and a thrown pig? What? One is a heated yam.

The other is a yeeted ham. Come on, man. Is that the joke you were thinking about? All right. Is that the joke you were thinking about? All right. It would be funny if we were coming off some steam. I feel like we were for a minute.

We got to pick it back up, though. I hear you. Anesthesia, during the early 1800s, they were having nitrous oxide parties. They called them laughing parties. People were just doing it. And then they finally realized, you know what? We could use this to help mass pain and anesthesia was born started using it for surgeries it's like uh

cocaine eventually will be that it's almost that's what i'm saying i don't know that it was a party yeah it was like just a house party yeah it was just a club and now it's like you imagine the every time the people that go like to the dentist after that, and they're like right on the cusp of going to parties and doing that. And then they're with their kid and they're doing that and they're going, I can't believe that we're doing that here. Like they're, you know, it's gotta be weird. It's like doing.

Yeah. It's like going to the dentist and they, yeah and they make you snort a line of cocaine. Yeah. And you're like, I thought this part of my life was over. Yeah, you start cleaning up. And they're like, what's he doing? Start filling stuff out. And you're filling forms out.

You may fill that form out for you. They fill your own forms out for you here. And he goes, what's your name? I'll write it all down. This is an inappropriate dentist. It's he goes what's your name i'll write it all down this is an inappropriate dentist it's like uh what's his face his dentist oh tim whatley yeah tim whatley yeah uh let's get some animals that were recently discovered like the last hundred or so years get into them this is like like someone's like i hope this thing was over and they go all right we'll

come back to that uh but you ever see a guy giving like a speech at something and you're like you hope they're coming to it and then they flip they have another page and you're like oh we'll come back to that later we'll come back to that is i think for speakers and for comedy or anything i think it's one of the worst sayings you could ever have. We'll come back to that later? But I'll get back to that. Because people don't want to know that we're not, like, are you going to come back to it? Yeah.

I want to be done. How many chapters are there? I'll just do the chapters. If I read, you know, if you're going to do it, just do it. But if you start something like, oh, we went to the beach one day, but we'll get to that later on. How much later on are we going to get? I don't think it's a good thing to say.

I don't think people look forward to it. They don't go, I can't wait until we get back to that. They lean forward? Yeah. You're competing against Transformers on a movie screen. Let me get back. We're going to get back to that. You're going to be watching Beetlejuice right now.

Dinosaurs. Dinosaurs was only not that long ago discovered. It was discovered in the 1800s. They found the first fossils of dinosaurs. Yeah. And then that's when they gave it the name dinosaur. You think all the founding fathers, those guys were all around before they knew about dinosaurs.

Yeah. Does that change the way you think about them? The founding fathers are the dinosaurs. The founding fathers? Well, they the dinosaurs. The founding fathers. That they didn't feel. Well, they were figuring out everything out above ground. So they weren't looking.

That's fair. They had other stuff going on. Yeah, they did a pretty good job. And then they, you wanted them to start digging too. It wasn't enough, you know, that. Well, it's just as crazy that there's this huge thing that they just had no

idea nobody had a basement and that's where you find them is you dig a basement that's right yeah well it makes you think what what are we blissfully unaware of aliens aliens yeah well we are aware of them maybe maybe now barely but barely not not in the way that we are now of dinosaurs yeah generations ahead i think we'll be like do you believe there's a time we really thought we were the only living creatures in the universe you're gonna look like buffoons yeah uh-huh yeah to go yeah and then there's aliens just flying you know and the alien gives us coffee so they come here and work for us? I mean, I think they, you know.

It's hard to come here. They're unpaid interns. I think it's their vacation because I'd imagine what vacation they're going to have. I think a vacation then would be some leisurely selling coffee. Oh, it's like a mission trip for them almost. We're Habitat for Humanity. It's the Earth. It's the aliens.

And they're going to come here. Mission trip. Yeah. And they come down here and work. You got toitat for Humanity. It's the earth. It's the aliens. And they're going to come here. Mission trip. Yeah. And they come down here and work. You got to help these idiots out. Yeah. Get them some coffee and stuff. I wonder if that could be.

That could be a pretty funny joke. Yeah. Have you ever heard that even now that people think that dinosaurs weren't real? Yeah. Yeah, I know. Yeah. I've heard that. 50-50 on them to begin with.

Yeah. I mean, I've heard people that based on the bible because there's no mention of the bible right i had a uh but they didn't know they were that would be the thing if they the founding fathers didn't find them either yeah then whoever yeah then who wrote the bible then they didn't know about them yet either yeah but like noah's ark or stuff like that yeah um i had a a minister when i was growing up that taught our syndesco class who said that god just put those bones there to confuse us to test our faith wow because he didn't believe that was that was real it worked huh yeah jj reddick uh you guys know jj reddick podcast. We need to go back to back with those two.

You know, local. This story reminded me of J.J. Reddick, his local pastor in Lebanon, Tennessee. Were they both white? Yeah. Okay. That's the connection. That makes sense. That's the connection.

J.J. Reddick said on his podcast, he's not entirely convinced dinosaurs existed. He said, I'm not. I've come across some weird websites. The word dinosaur didn't exist until 1842. There was no word dinosaur. And all of a sudden, a guy finds some bones, and a few years later, people are finding them everywhere. I think to myself, all right, humans were here since 10,000 B.C.,

and just now we're finding them? It makes you think. I don't think it does. If it would be discovered, so it's like, so you think they went around and planted all the bones of the dinosaurs? Yeah. I guess.

It wouldn't make sense. Like, I don't, look, I'm all about going to look at some weird website, and I'm all bored. If he doesn't believe in dinosaurs, I'll love it. Yeah. I'd rather talk to him about't believe in dinosaurs, I love it. Yeah. I'd rather talk to him about not believing in dinosaurs than someone that does. Yeah. But that doesn't-

Doesn't make a lot of sense. That doesn't. Like his statement for it. The argument that doesn't make sense. Yeah. His big argument is they didn't have the word until it was discovered. It's like, yeah, usually- They didn't have any words.

Usually you find out that something exists before you give it a name. Yeah. Usually that's the order. The word sky. That'd be like not believing in sky, you know? Mm-hmm. Yeah. There wasn't a word for sky until 10,000 years ago.

Guy looked up. Has he ever looked up? Yeah, what is this? Yeah, he goes, yeah, it's like nothing. It's a big sky. No, no, no, but I think there's something. You got to call it something. Yeah. You got to call it something. Yeah, you got to call it something.

And he goes, sky, sky, sky. Sky. Sky. Okay. And then he tells everybody, you know, puts it in a dove that ironically flies in the sky to the other things, to the other people. And it goes, Scott. and finally gets the jj reddick's family and it goes i don't know if i i don't know if i buy this a dove is a ironically a dinosaur too birds oh yeah birds are dinosaurs they're like there are there are like live

dinosaurs i think so it's in. Isn't that generally agreed on? For dinosaurs in the bird family? They're essentially dinosaurs, yeah. Who would disagree with them? J.J. Reddick. J.J. Reddick for one. I don't know if it's generally agreed on. I don't know if we...

Is there a topic that we all... What do you mean? I don't know. It's just a funny way to put it just to go. I think we all agree. It's one of those... I think everyone agrees that these doves are dinosaurs yeah but it's one of those things that if if that wasn't the case and i had said it so confidently i would have felt like an idiot so i

needed to cover my bases by saying and be like i think isn't that kind of you're sincerely asking i think we can agree to disagree that it's done okay uh generally agree no i just like the term i like saying generally agree i think that's funny uh-huh to be like that big of a thing i think generally we all agree that right yeah birds are i think that's how wars are started i think generally agree that we should be allowed to do what everyone and then you can't uh like that's i mean generally agree i think is literally probably the start of every war. Generally agree that communism is the way to go.

Right? Right? I don't know about generally. Some assumptions. Yeah. This says that scientists say dinosaurs lived on the earth. This says. He brought it.

Yeah, we've covered that, haven't we? Yeah. Yeah. I was just over here. I stumbled upon this paper I found. I discovered it. Yeah. I discovered it. Yeah, I discovered it. All right. Scientists say that dinosaurs lived on the earth for about 165 million years.

Homo sapiens have lived here for 300,000 years. So they're making the point that dinosaurs lived here so much longer than we have. Yeah. Oh, even now. Even now. Yeah. Oh, even now. Even now. Yeah. But they're dead. I went to-

So we got that going for us. Yeah. We're winning right now. Who wrote that? A dinosaur? Nah. I don't know if I generally agree with that statement. The mountain gorilla wasn't discovered until 1902.

I'm discovering it right now. Yeah. Yeah. Where's a mountain a gorilla the mountain gorilla yeah it's a gorilla just in the i think it's the kind of gorilla that you're thinking of oh really yeah like the main one i think we we touched on this a little bit in the when we were talking about bigfoot but but it was one of those creatures that had been kind of like seen and people thought it was a myth. Yeah.

And then it wasn't confirmed that it's a real thing until the early 1900s. 1908, I think you said. 1902. 1902. WWF did it. World Wrestling Film. Is that the same thing as the silverback? Vince, this is how wrestling got started.

He goes, look at these big things. What if we had some big things fight, and then they got wrestling started? Did you know that? Did you ever hear that? You never heard that? That's not the big show got started? Generally agreed upon. It's not generally agreed upon.

Yeah, I mean, it looks like the same thing. Silverback. A silverback. Okay, so imagine you're hanging out in the jungle. You see that thing. Yeah. And you have to explain that you've never seen anything like that. You have to explain it's a monster you're gonna sound like somebody describing big foot yeah yeah for sure yeah yeah it's some you'd be it's a monster we just saw a monster right

which what if the bigfoot stuff is still just these gorillas still just like still the story of how we described these gorillas is the linger the story of these gorillas is still lingering but we've moved everybody just thinks it's not talking about gorillas yeah and linger the story of these gorillas is still lingering but we've moved everybody just thinks it's not talking about gorillas yeah and so we're all just repeating the same story that they did but now because no one thinks they're like well it's not gorillas you're like no but it was yeah and well they've kept going with the story so now well we know gorillas exist because now it's generally agreed upon that gorillas exist what if i just figured everything that's pretty good.

It does make a lot of sense. That the story of Bigfoot has now become a thing. Because you go out in the woods, you can hear anything. You can hear anything you want to hear. Pretty crazy. Yeah. Your mind can do whatever. Yeah.

And so we've just convinced ourselves. And if you believe that it's, you know, everybody says they saw one, I guess. But, yeah. Do you think, did they catch one and bring it into the town? The gorilla? Yeah. No. No, I don't think so.

I think they just found out. How'd they get into the zoo? I mean, eventually. I don't think that first guy caught one and brought it in. I think they just found out where they live, and then other people started going to see it. Okay. That makes more sense. Yeah, who talked to them? One to see it. Oh, okay. That makes more sense.

Yeah, who talked to them? One of them talked to them, right? Somebody? Robyn Williams. Jane Goodall. Robyn Williams. And Robyn Williams. Yeah, we sent Robyn Williams.

What? We sent him to the Gorillas. Yeah. We did. Yeah. He did the joke. He made the Gorilla laugh, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty did the joke. He made the gorilla laugh, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty special guy, Rob Williams. Kind of crazy when you think about it. Yeah. It's almost kind of weirdly, you're like, yeah, it makes sense. I know.

Yeah. It does. It's like a very sweet. Yeah. His sweetness and kindness transcends the human race. Yeah. The Komodo dragon wasn't discovered till 1910 everyone thought it was another uh like they thought it was a just a wives tale just a made-up thing until they went to the

this island where they live and found them and realized it was a real thing hello they welcomed hello hello you exist hello folks that is a young there's a young dragon let's go and he's their button heads whatever they do hitting each other with tails because oh gosh they're komodo dragons yeah this is right after dinosaurs have been kind of uh a thing talked about right so then you, imagine showing up with Komodo dragons. Yeah. And everyone's like, these dinosaurs used to exist. And then they're like, nah, some of them are still around. I think that'd be even more impressive if we didn't have alligators or crocodiles.

But they look different. They're pretty impressive. I mean, they are different. But I mean. But you're right, they're not. We've seen reptiles. They're not unheard of. Yeah.

But you don't see them here, but they're super dangerous. With their tails and stuff too. What do their tails do? They can just hit you with them? I don't know. They don't even have tails. You know what? I was thinking about the wrong thing.

Were you really? No. Are they super dangerous? Yeah. Their tails are, yeah. yeah are they super dangerous yeah their tails are yeah i mean their their their mouths are just filled with uh i mean just all the viruses i mean basically everything yeah covid covid flu common cold yeah um headache gout dyslexia dyslexia you get everything you get bit by one of these things you get everything you go to a doctor and he's like i don't even where do i start and you go penicillin and he goes

yeah he goes we're past penicillin you have to get a bunch of stuff the uh the giant squid had been a myth for years sea captains have been saying they've seen this giant uh they called it the kraken probably the least listened to person is a sea captain i mean what do you what do you mean just the nonsense that guy comes off you you just picture like i think they're drunk the whole time. A sea captain? Yeah. You picture them being drunk.

A modern-day sea captain? Or, like, just. Yeah, I think all the. You go out on Carnival Cruise, you see some of the routes they're taking. You go tell them that guy ain't having a little sip. No, but, I mean, like, a sea captain, like, you know, going back, oh, there's a giant squid. And you're like, oh, God.

Yeah. All right, buddy. Don't you think, like, those sea captains then, just no one took them seriously. Like, they go, you know what I've seen out there? Yeah. And you go, no one cares. Mm-hmm. Pirates.

Yeah, probably a scurvy. You know, like, this guy's not healthy. Yeah. You know? How big are they? I don't know. The first giant squid was seen in live in the early 2000s yeah that's how recent it's been they've been talking about it for decades i mean for

centuries and then they would find some occasionally washed up but they didn't have video of them till the early 2000s that's pretty big and that they're significantly bigger than a human being. Yeah. Yeah, but I mean, it's like a bus. Yeah. Yeah, it is like the size of a bus. That's where, that's an alien swimming. I know. Is that a man or a woman? So, I think he just gave birth to an alien.

Maybe that's how they give them, maybe that's how the aliens are born. I don't know. That could be wildly offensive to say. In 100 years. Imagine in 100 years they're going to go, they said they thought the, what is this? A squid gave birth to the alien. Alien that serves me my coffee. Yeah.

Can you believe that they said that back in this? And then I just. You get canceled. Yeah, my family's canceled. Like they, you know. You got to take down Nate Land theme park. and then I just you get canceled yeah my family's canceled like they you know you gotta take down Nate Land theme park

Nate Land theme park actually got built couldn't believe it and we're actually and it's all it gets taken down all of it all of it

they drum up this the first exoplanet planet outside our solar system wasn't discovered until 1992. And now we've discovered more than 4,000 of them. A planet outside of our? Our solar system. And they think there's billions and billions of them now.

It's easy to say. Just in the Milky Way or in general? Just in the Milky Way or in general? Just in the Milky Way. They think that for every star probably has on average one planet. Ours has, what, seven? Eight, right? I don't know.

Oh, we have planets? Yeah. We used to thought we had nine because of Pluto. We're all kind of forgetting pluto quite easy which one did you forget i just couldn't remember if the number was seven or eight i wasn't naming them mercury i just i always forget mercury mercury well who cares about yeah there's nothing going on you know weirdly i forget about neptune i don't know why i always think it's a diner because i've been to a Neptune diner and I never put it as a planet.

Can you believe that? Pluto. Is that a joke? My Pluto joke. But that would be, see, that's what I mean. These scientists, you can just say whatever. Who cares? We believe there's probably billions.

No way for us to count it no nobody can and i'm not saying that there's not but it's like just being like yeah dude it's nuts i would like them to go like i we don't know but it's it's probably wild right i here's where we at i quit the job because i can't it's just it's more than I care to know. And I'm doing ocean stuff now. And that's what the guy said. Ocean stuff. And I'm doing, yeah, he left it.

That's what the scientist left. And he, I'm doing, I'm mainly doing ocean stuff now. And then, but I do think for the argument of life on other planets, I mean,

we've already found 4,000 planets just outside our solar system. And there's so many stars out there. If they do all have a few planets, there's bound to be life out there somewhere. Wouldn't you think? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, I've talked about it. Yeah. We, we were saying we're fine. I don't know. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's bizarre. It's bizarre. Yeah. To not think that. Uh, we were saying we're fine yeah yeah it's bizarre it's bizarre yeah

to not think that the ocean's probably where the most stuff is that we don't you know there's so much stuff we don't know that's queer

that's crazy it's a pretty big imagine misplacing like it's like not finding your couch in your house yeah if you walked in

you go dude our that couch it was in the closet it's like 40 years it was in the the love seat was in the closet. It's like 40 years. It was in the, the love seat was in the closet. Never saw it.

That's what that's like. Like, it's just a giant thing. So big. Some celebrities that were discovered in unusual ways. Justin Bieber. Oh, in unusual ways. Yeah. In 2007, he participated in a local singing competition. He placed second.

His mom posted a video of his performance on YouTube for family and friends who weren't able to attend. She also put up some other homemade videos. And then Scott Scooter Braun, music promoter and talent agent, watched them, invited Bieber to come to Atlanta. He met

Usher, and they signed signed him and the rest is history where is he where's he in now yeah yeah what's that uh scooter braun's uh shay's person too yeah yeah um yeah yeah he was the guy in the first youtube and uh still does it i mean still just i mean that's like someone we talk, they have no, his reality. I mean, you make more money than your parents. Like you're wildly more money than your family. Like the dynamic there has got to be, how old was he? 12, 13?

13. 13. The dynamic is just crazy. And you're, you know, those kids are just so young. But he seems kind of normal now. How old is he now? Oh, I think he's a couple years younger than me. He's like mid to late 20s now.

Maybe 25, 26. Yeah. Yeah, I think pretty. I think he leveled out pretty. They're all going to go through that. Yeah. I mean, he's 27. Yeah, they go through all the stuff

they go through and then you're uh yeah they figure yeah he's married alone is only 25 yeah he's a young dude wow what he looks like he's a little older what is it's drinking that's post Malone's a perfect example of partying and drinking beer every night that's your number one example is post Malone this is what you end up looking like that yeah that but it is like the when I when I was in New York and when we were out we were drinking every single night my old videos you can see all the old stuff that I post that's all just because you're you know it's not like you're you're just having some beers every night. That stuff, that's what happens.

And that's post-blown. That guy's 25 years old. I look like that. And then you stop drinking and you look. If post-blown quit drinking, he would look amazing. Look at his face. Like everything, alcohol just, all that stuff goes away. It just kind of comes in a little bit.

You can still get it eating bad. Obviously, like I still, not like I've lost everything. But it's like you just get sucked up a little bit without alcohol. You don't get, that's, I mean, you know, I don't want to get postpone people and get mad. But that's what that, I mean, I just can see it. That's crazy. If it had got to be 25.

Yeah. I thought he was 40. I didn't know he was that young either. I thought he was at least my age. Yeah. I thought he was 40. I mean, it's not... Wow.

I would have... Pre Malone. Used some different... I would have used some... What? So he's pre Malone. Yeah. I would have... Yeah. No, he's pre-Malone. I would have... Yeah.

No, he's post. Yeah. Yeah. Should just be in the Malone phase, but he's already post. Yeah. He's... Why is he post Malone?

I don't know. I'll look into that. His first name's Austin Richard Post. Oh. Huh. That's a great name. Austin Richard Post.

So where'd the malone come from? Yeah. Austin Post. Even if it was Austin Post would be a pretty good rap name. Austin Richie Post. I mean, Austin Richard Post is a really good name name. Austin Richie Post.

I mean, Austin Richard Post is a really good name. Austin's a good name. All right. Taylor Swift. Oh. When Taylor Swift was, well, there's two diversions. She says when she was 12, she was doing her homework, and a computer technician came to her house to work on her computer.

He saw her guitar in the corner and he says, do you play guitar? And she says, no, I've tried. He said, well, do you want me to teach you a few chords? And she said, yeah. And then he's the one that made her in who she is today. Sounds like a real creep. What's the next one? How did he make her into?

Well, he's the one that got her started, like learned to play guitar and write songs and stuff like that. He continued to work with her? That's her version. His version is she hired him to give her guitar lessons. And after a few lessons, he also works on computers and said, I can fix your computer for you. That makes way more sense.

That makes more sense. That's the story I'd prefer than like... Yeah. You would almost think it'd be the other way around. Imagine inviting like the plumber over and he's like, hey, little girl, you got a guitar over there? Can you play any chords for me to teach you? Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, gosh. Yeah, I have a problem with a 20-year-old doing that to a 20-year-old girl. Yeah. I already don't like pulls out a guitar. Pulling out a guitar at a party is like we'll get to that eventually. That's what that feels like to me.

When you see a guy pull out a guitar and you're like, oh my. You don't like it? I do not like it. You did it all the time, didn't you? No. You had to wheel the piano in the other room. You had to go get their piano

and they're like, guys, can I get a hand? And then you all have to carry it into the little short steps because you can't really move a piano because it's awkward. I was in a – I mean, I played in a group all through high school and stuff. But I would never bring a guitar to a party and pull it out. And just start singing. Play Wonderwall. Yeah, yeah.

I was never that guy. Those guys did exist they still do they still yeah so dave matthews got started he was just the guy at a party i don't know his stuff his songs are always the one that gets played for my age it was always dave matthews discovered at a house party just tried it enough yeah you know you going to play enough and someone finally gets it. I bet that guy's truth is – I bet she was so young that she thinks – Maybe so. They had a falling – I mean, supposedly he helped her write the song Lucky You, maybe her first song.

But they had a falling out. He created a website, Stuff I've Taught Taylor Swift, and she sued him and all this stuff. Yeah, she's got a lot of that. Yeah. He tells a story about her brother, Austin. Is that the one you know? Yeah.

Oh. Austin. Speaking of Austin. Austin Post. That's his name? Austin Swift. It's Post Malone. Why don't you bring that up?

He says when he was at her house teaching her lessons, her mom would say, he said her brother, Austin, who was a little chubby at the time. Austin. Maybe he saw him.

Are we sure? He goes, he goes, no, maybe it was her friend. Maybe it was Austin's buddy. He was wearing a Notre Dame jacket. Austin,

who was a little chubby at the time, and he wanted to go to Taco Bell, and the guy said, Taylor Swift's mom, Taylor said, I want to go to Taco Bell too.

And her mother said, I'm only going to let Austin go because nobody wants to see a fat pop star. Wait, the guy said that? Taylor's mom said that. Yeah. To Taylor. She wanted to go to Taco Bell, and she said nobody wants to see a fat pop star. This is stuff that that guy posted on his website.

Yes, stuff that he observed, he said. Yeah. That seems a little. Yeah. But, I mean, I would go with, like, I mean, her mom and there still talk, right? Oh, yeah. on his website. Stuff that he observed, he said. Yeah. So. That seems a little. Yeah. But I mean, I would go with like, I mean,

her mom and there still talk, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. They're super close. Yeah. Yeah. But once she moved to Nashville,

she did a round to showcase at the Bluebird Cafe in 2005. And there was a guy there, Scott Borchetta, who was launching a new record label

called Big Machine Records. And he saw her and signed her to a record deal. And her dad bought 3% stake in the company for an estimated $120,000. So I guess he believed in his daughter. And of course, Big Machine took off. Mainly because of her. And they're big. Yeah.

And so they made a ton of money. Her dad made a ton of money off that. I would think so, yeah. That guy's name is Borchetta? Isn't that a... Is it a That guy's name is Bruschetta? Like the cheese? Isn't that a... Is it a... Is it cheese?

Bruschetta? I think it's a type of something. I don't think it's a cheese. I think it's bread. Oh, bread? I think so. Or maybe pretzels. You know...

I was thinking that. I was thinking... I was thinking like a Chex mix. It's like the... Oh, that's Gardettos. Oh. Tostitos? Bruschetta's a... Oh, it says It's like the, oh, that's Gardettos. Oh. Tostitos? Bruschetta's a, oh, it says it's a dish.

Oh, it's a chicken. No, oh, that's what Bruschetta is. This is Borschetta. Bruschetta is, oh, it's a dish. It's not, it's like a bunch of stuff. Yeah, it's an hors d'oeuvre of the bread with the. So it would have been quite embarrassing if they said, do you want any of this

and passed on bruschetta cheese? They go, do you want some bruschetta? And I go, I'm on no dairy, please. And they go, okay. You're in a business meeting with that guy? Oh, bruschetta, like the cheese, huh? Like the cheese. And he goes,

we'll give you 1%. 50 grand, 1%. Never come back here and tell you solid. Never say we talked ever again. Deal. Prosciutto cheese. Prosciutto cheese.

It does sound like it could be. Yeah. Yeah. Sam Phillips discovered Elvis Presley and johnny cash that's pretty amazing two of the greatest all time pretty good who was sam phillips was that the crazy manager no crazy man it was colonel parker oh yeah colonel parker was he an actual colonel he was like a you know he was like a promoter or something but i think was wild yeah like you know back in the day like like they were, you know. That's the thing, like Taylor Swift gets upset about her deal and stuff like that.

But I mean, these guys were, I mean, they got their whole lives stolen. Yeah. Yeah. Now, Sam Phillips ran Sun Records in Memphis. Okay. Have you ever seen Walk the Line? Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, there. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I remember that guy. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I remember that guy. Yeah, yeah. It's like a fun guy. It's like a nice fella. He did well for himself. Yeah, he did all right.

He found two has-beens. Yeah. Johnny Cash, I bet, was so much to just be around. I mean, he had to be just like, just the weight of the world at all times. I mean, just going off that movie. Yeah. I saw him filming something.

I think I've said that on here. In Mount Juliet. Did they film it here? Something. He was filming something. I drive by, I'm going to my buddy's house driving his house in mount juliet um like i don't know i just uh had to be driving so maybe i'm 17 or 18 or something like that uh so 96 seven some and uh eight maybe and then he's

standing in the back of a train and i drive out there's just a railroad and there's a he's standing in the back of a train. And I drive out. There's just a railroad, and he's like at a caboose. But there's not the whole train there. It's just a caboose. Oh, this is the real Johnny Cash. The real Johnny Cash. I thought you were talking about the movie. Oh, no, no, no. No, no, I meant the real Johnny Cash.

And I just drive by, and I look, and it's him all in black. And I thought there was always rumors he had a house right there or something he lived in Henderson yeah yeah but that one but I thought there was something I don't know but anyway I see him

just standing on the back of that caboose big long black trench coat just by himself I think they were shooting something okay I don't know what they were shooting

so he didn't even try to hide what did did they have the caboose in what's the last song the the Nine Inch Nails song is he standing on a train in that he might be in the album cover Hurt that song yeah What's the last song? The Nine Inch Nails song?

Is he standing on a train in that? He might be in the album cover. Hurt. Yeah. Look up that album. It might be. Yeah. There's something about a train. Because you know what?

I don't know if I've ever looked it up. He's on a railroad track for that. That doesn't look like Mount Juliet, though. I could drive you to where it was. Look at Caboose or something. Cash Caboose. Johnny Cash Caboose. Just put on some weight back there.

All right. There is one. I don't know. No, nothing that jumps out. That's all right. Maybe it wasn't him. Just a guy dressed in black. Obviously, a lot of people

wore that stuff. Just a goth kid. The Beatles manager wasn't happy with them. He thought they were going nowhere. So he wanted to find a better act. You're talking about the Beatles manager now? I'm talking about, yes, I've moved on to the Beatles now.

Oh, we just jumped right into it. What? I didn't ever hear you say this is the Beatles manager. I didn't. He didn't. I just went into it. I thought we were done. So the Beatles manager never thought they would make it.

So another guy asked to sign them as their manager. He was a beginner and never done it. But he immediately began working on raising their profile in and outside of Liverpool. Cleaned up their image, told them to stop swearing, smoking, eating on stage during performances, which is funny to think they were eating while performing.

Yeah, you can't order a sandwich during the show. And it's crazy that I have to tell you all that. That's just what he has to... I think it's insane that you can't have a plate of spaghetti during a performance. You ever eaten on stage before?

No. Maybe if I've taken a bite of something or if maybe it feels like a birthday. No. Oh, like, no. Not for a joke, but like if there was like a birthday or something or there was. Yeah. No. Something. No. Why would you? I don something, or there was... Yeah. No. Something.

No, why would you? I don't know. I was just wondering. They had to call the Beatles down. They wouldn't have made it. I feel like you've beaten a few times on stage. What you're leading to. Have you?

I've done themed shows where you have to eat. Oh, hot chicken or something? Yeah, we did the hot chicken show where you eat hot chicken and then do a set. Yeah. And I enjoyed it. Of course. They're, uh... chicken and then do a set yeah and uh i enjoyed it of course they're uh had a terrible set but enjoyed the evening yeah they hated it but i loved it the biggest thing to go is that when you have to adjust your feeding window

when you know you're about to do that show? Yeah, I got it at just the time. That morning you slid the little timer up where you have a chart. Slid it. A couple hours. A couple hours. Yeah, I would. That's what I would do.

Yeah. That's what I did today. So this guy discovered the Beatles, and the biggest thing he did, he replaced Pete Best with Wingo Starr. He changed the drummer. Mm- drummer so what did Pete Best do where did he did because he's still famous like I think he's just famous as the fifth Beatle that got removed did he ever go play somewhere else I think I looked him up and he's tried to do he's just like a uh session musician for but he never obviously. Just wasn't that.

Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah. But I wonder if he ever. I mean, he's still pretty. You're acting like he's did nothing, and I think he did some stuff. I don't think he did anything in comparison to playing with the Beatles. I mean, he had to because he didn't do much. He was a lifelong career musician.

He started his own band called the Pete Best Four and joined and started many other bands over the years, but obviously nothing compared to what the Beatles did. But he had like, you know, man, that's tough. You would think he would be, if he's not good enough to be in there, is he good enough to be in, you is he good enough to be in Rolling Stone? And it was probably just something about his image or something. I mean, more than his skill as a drummer, I would think.

Yeah. Yeah, I think he just didn't have that X factor. That superstar. Whatever that is that they all had. I guess he just didn't have it x factor yeah that's that superstar whatever that is that they all had guess he just didn't have it too bad so this manager changed all this stuff got him booked on the ed sullivan show in the u.s and beetle mania swept the world yeah so yeah the rest is history bigger than jesus that's what they said really the beatles who says that i think it was in what term john lennon or paul mccartney was like oh one of them what what do you mean that's who said it yeah

what do you what do you mean it's just funny like i thought it's gonna be someone else and like where it's a ridiculous statement and then it's like they no they said it about themselves yeah more more popular than jesus john lennon said it about themselves. Yeah. We're more popular than Jesus. John Lennon said it in a 1966 interview. Yeah. Bigger than Shaq? I don't know. More popular than Oprah and the Queen. Yeah.

Is this what they're saying? He wasn't murdered. Because of this? I don't know. No, this was a long time before he got assassinated. Yeah, I know, but that's what it said. It said he was murdered by Mark David Chabon. Chabon later stated that he was motivated partly by Linden's remarks on religion,

including the more popular than Jesus. How about it? How about it? The exact opposite of what I was about to say. I mean, the main thing that did it was that. Wow. No, don't say that. Bo Burnham.

Do you know Bo Burnham? Yeah. Yeah. He posted some videos on YouTube when he was 16, filmed in his bedroom, and then he became the youngest comic with the Comedy Central special. Went to Just for Laughs Montreal in 2008. I was there.

Was he a teenager then? Yeah. He was 16. That's crazy. That was the year I went to Montreal. You were New Faces that year? I was New Faces.

Wow. And he was, yeah, Bo's very nice and I like Bo. Bo's one of the more original people I've ever seen. And he just has a new special out. And it's just, I mean, he's just like a super talented dude, man.

Like super. I mean, his specials are all, I just love what he does. And, like, it's its own thing. And I'm way on board with that. But I was in New Faces when he got it. I remember his parents were there with him. He was 16. He was all anybody talked about.

Yeah. That was it. He was the talk of the festival. I mean, he was the talk of everything. Yeah. Because he was, like, blowing up and, like, all that stuff. And then, I mean, his career has just been pretty flawless in the fact that everything he's done is –

he's just a super-talented guy where he's directed, you know, Chris Rock's – he did Chris Rock's special. He did Gerard Carmichael's special. Directed a movie called Eighth Grade. Eighth Grade. Yeah, which was great. Yeah, it was. Which won – probably won a bunch of stuff.

Was it nominated for things? I think it was nominated. Yeah. And then, you know, and just a bunch of stuff. But yeah, I mean, he was 16. I remember, like, yeah, I don't talk to him. I'll text with him. I've seen him when I go out there some, but like we, he's always very nice.

He lives in LA? Lives in LA. Yeah. Always very nice. But he's, I mean, just a different person. I mean, just a different, it's a very one-of-a-kind kind of guy i think but i remember it was all anybody talked about just for laughs and that was the year i was there that's crazy yeah do you guys uh i was trying to think of some athletes that were discovered like some crazy way.

I found one, well, one from watching PTI the other day, Mark Eaton, who passed away a few weeks ago. You guys know Mark Eaton? He was working at a mechanic shop making $20,000 a year. He was seven foot four working at a mechanic shop. A chemistry professor who's an assistant basketball coach at a small college encouraged him to enroll in the – Sorry. Did he have to lay down on the wheel thing even when it was jacked up?

It was like he still – Still has to lay down. His arms are way up that high. He's still on the skateboard thing. Yeah, the skateboard thing. And there's a guy standing underneath it full and he's up there fixing it. I bet you could have found someone that he could have done that with. Yeah.

Yeah. I bet. Like someone that's like 5'4". Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, he encouraged him to try out at the small community college and then the guy went on to be an NBA All-Star two-time defensive player of the year for the Utah Jazz.

Wow. He was working in a mechanic shop. That's one of those, I mean, discovery. If you walk in anywhere and there's a 7'4 guy, don't you immediately think, that guy can play basketball? Well, it's probably a tough situation because you're worried that that's all they get asked. Like, you don't want to go like, hey, man, why don't you go try basketball? He's like, I did, and it didn't work out.

Obviously, I thought to play basketball yeah i mean so the odds that that he's like all right i guess i'll go try it but back then there's no internet or stuff like so it probably would vary you could still say stuff like that and a guy might not know right now with like phones and internet i mean they go to other countries and they find people and they're like hey we think you should you know festus azili was like that for vandy uh where'd they get him from some african yeah country and then he never played until senior year high school i think senior in high school then comes and gets drafted in the nba like ends up becoming just a dominant player like well hakeem elijan was like that he played soccer he was a goalie and he was great at soccer and handball didn't play basketball until he's a senior in

high school after a nigerian basketball coach spotted him and said you should try playing email them nigerian basketball coach emailed him and said if you send me all your uh if you give me all your i'm a prince i'm a prince and I got some money I need to get transferred over to. And you go, wait a second. But I mean, Hakeem Olajuwon went on to be obviously one of the greatest players of all time. Of all time. I mean, he's respected as being the greatest,

but I still don't think he gets as much as he deserves. Like he's better than... I mean, the way like kobe went and worked with him all these people still go work with him hakeem yeah like they would all these you know uh like former pros like the stuff that he was doing i mean it was pretty crazy he was unbelievable yeah the um the kicker i think this is him kyle brinza maybe yeah the kicker, I think this is him, Kyle Brinza maybe. Yeah, the kicker at Notre Dame was he played in the intramural leagues. He was a kicker.

We played against him. And somebody on the varsity team saw him and was like, oh, he might actually be good. And then he played on the real football team. Yeah. But he was just a nobody kicking, I think, Kyle Brinza, either him or somebody else. I can't remember.

I feel like there's a lot. I would think that'd be in the Wikipedia page. Yeah. That'd be pretty crazy if they missed, they didn't put that in. Like, this guy was a great kicker for Notre Dame. You know, that's cool, man. Oh, one thing we forgot. He was just kicking on a sidewalk and they found him.

And you're like, that's where Wikipedia is invented is for that. You're right. Is for specifically that reason. Yeah. Yeah. I'll find it. But I thought it said he, just in that, it kicked his freshman year for Notre Dame.

Yeah. I think it said that. It did. But it didn't say anything about intramural football. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. We'll take his name out. Oh, David Ruffer.

Maybe it was David Ruffer. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Oh, God. I can imagine just sitting, like, listening to this podcast, and someone goes, God, they got quiet. You go, I know.

They go, at least what are they looking to find? An intramural field goal kicker for Notre Dame in the 90s. This is the worst episode of Aaron Lane yet. Aaron Lane is, yeah. Aaron Lane is struggling. Aaron Lane lost some. Lost some of the heat.. Lost some of the heat. He lost some of the heat.

He got an IG account. Might try to start separating it. Becomes Batesville next week. We're just trying different other things. There was a punter in Australia. I think a lot of punters. Yeah, come from Australia. This guy wasn't even trying to punt. He wasn't even punting in australia i think a lot of punters yeah come from australia this guy wasn't even trying to play he wasn't even putting in australia he found a football and they were just playing

with his buddies and there's an american there that was driving by and asking if he played he's like no and he shot some video on up youtube clips and said it's some colleges and this guy got a scholarship to sam houston and went on kick in the NFL. What's his name? Lack Edwards? L-A-C Edwards? Lack. I don't know. That's how you pronounce it. Lock? Lock. Lack. Latch. Lack is almost...

Latch. Latch, keep good. Lack is almost an insult. That's his first name. I bet it's like his family didn't want him. I bet it's a lot. This kid's going to be missing a lot.

Yeah. He was just literally playing with his buddies when the guy spotted him. I feel like there are examples of, I hear all the time, although I couldn't find any of someone saying, I was watching a recruit a video of someone else and I spotted this guy and that guy goes on to be a star you know what i'm talking about michael or from the blind side was he like that

i think we talked about this i can't remember it i can't remember the exact story but i from the book it was like his his discovery was kind of a fluke because his video was trash or something and then it was like a running backs video. I can't remember the exact story, but yeah. That was nothing. That was 45 seconds of nothing. I was trying to get Batesville to start up over here, but we're a commercial break, I guess.

I was trying to get you to buy me some time so i can find something else you know what i do that does make sense that uh that that happened but i can't remember for sure if that was the thing that i believe it was aaron that told me that yeah but i do think there's stuff there's definitely stories like that we had a conversation off camera about that and i remember the conclusion being i'm not sure maybe let's not talk about it and then he threw it to me And I remember the conclusion being, I'm not sure. Maybe let's not talk about it. And then he threw it to me. I thought the conclusion was, you're going to get on that.

I was doing the best I could. Yeah. All right. I'm back to the front. We're done. We can be done. Well, no. I mean, is there...

Velcro. Oh. Oh. Velcro. Oh. Does anybody want to hear how Velcro was invented? I mean, if you already pulled it apart, might as well hear how it got made.

A guy was on a hiking trip, Swiss engineer. He found burrs clinging to his pants and to his dog's fur. On closer inspection, he found the burr's hook would cling to anything loop-shaped. And so he artificially recreated the loops and it became Velcro. Pretty solid. That's an invention. Already discovered, I guess. Discovered it by accident.

Probably every invention is like that. Yeah, I would say. Yeah. So I feel like your dad's magic probably has some of that, right? Yeah. He's trying stuff and then. Yeah. And then they, yeah.

What do you think you have? There's just nothing answers. I think so. So it's just been nothing answers. Yeah. I'll try. I think so. Social has just been nothing answers.

Yeah. I'll try. Do you think, what point in your career do you think you were most discovered? I can tell you when I lost it. This episode? This episode. Would it be your first Netflix? Probably the most discovered, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, I would think so. More so than than the actual the hour specials after that like almost i think it's tennessee kid that's got to be the even more than the stand-ups yeah as when there's the most but but i think that's what a comic is you're i think it's gathering you're gathering just a lot and so like a lot of people do know before but the it's like the most where you kind of are in like a little more i guess mainstream of a kind of thing i guess i mean you know bo bernal but you met him at Just for Laughs, right? I think so. You didn't know him beforehand.

No. Has there been a case of New York comic, a friend of yours, who almost blew up overnight, discovered somehow? I mean, I remember, I don't know if friends, but I remember Aziz,

Aziz Ansari. Aziz Ansari was doing open mics. We were doing open mics together. And then he was like, next thing I knew, he was on that Human Giant show. And then he was hosting the MTV Movie Awards. And it was like, what? I remember we got passed at the Comedy Cellar. And it was just like, he was gone.

Schumer, Amy. Amy was kind of around. We're all doing kind of whatever shows. And then she gets on Howard Stern. And she started like, you know, Last Comic. Amy was kind of around we're all doing kind of whatever shows and then she gets on Howard Stern and she started like you know

Last Comic and then it was just like then like just super super famous Kumail Najiani I mean that was Kumail

I remember I remember him from New York I mean from Chicago and then we go to then I remember he comes to New York and I think he was doing maybe a one-man show or something. I thought someone said

and it was like, alright, he's doing something. Then I would just see him at festivals and stuff from there on out. Then he just started. He got that show. Then it just was like, now he's a movie star. Is it possible for someone just to have one great set at a showcase or audition and just change their career?

I mean, the big one, Stephen Wright, was with Carson. They asked him to come back. Carson asked him maybe two or three times. Oh, yeah. Like the next night? Yeah. Like the next night to come back. So that was a big one for as like i don't know steven wright but carson was

the discovery for comedians and that i think steven wright had a pretty unique like he was like come back and he came back and then destroyed the second time and i think like he had to you know go try set out and all this stuff i mean pressure of that. He did the panel in one of them and he was so crazy. Yeah. Like such a weird character. It was hilarious. Yeah. Yeah.

And it's like, I mean, so many people were watching that show back then. Like I don't think anybody's, you know. Well, Freddie Prinze was another example in Carson. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That, I mean, he had a great set and basically had a TV show

offer just immediately afterwards. He was like 19, right? He was super young. He was very young. Yeah. I would say,

I mean, for me, balancing my set was that put everything in motion. I mean, that was, it was like,

stuff was still going good. That's the thing, when someone makes it or someone, they have a thing, it's not like they are just like, I mean, you're not eating where you're fixing a car. You have a career and you're doing stuff. And then when Fallon came in and saw me randomly at that club,

I mean, that's when it all just kind of changed. Then I got with him. I started doing that show. We started selling TV, you know, we tried to pitch TV shows. We started selling TV shows. It's like, you just got it. I got into a new world and like you're,

so that, I mean, Fallon was, for me, that would be that. He came in, he saw that set, but that's the, what they always say, it's like preparation meets opportunity. And like, and it's weird to meets opportunity opportunity and like and it's weird to talk about this and i'm talking about it but i don't know how to do it you guys have not made it but i can i can talk about it from outsider because i remember when that happened for you

yeah and you were already i mean like you said you're already doing great uh in your career but it was uh it was a week between christmas and new year's yeah and uh and you were at the stand and i went to venerable's bowl game uh that same day or the day next day and you called me you said you told me about it and it just then one thing started happening after another and it just kind of snowballed kind of snowballed and the same thing with netflix i mean i was with you in seattle the weekend of the stand-ups came out yeah and immediately started seeing more turnout and by the time you did tennessee kid you were already uh i feel like selling out theaters or at least getting close we were about to start i was gonna be able to do some of the easy theaters like the you know chicago there's the vic wilbur at in boston uh both amazing theaters not like they're hard theaters but it's like theaters that have they have a

following yeah the theater does and people and they're great great comedy towns uh so you could do some i started to be able to do some stuff like that yeah yeah so by the time you taped tissy kid it didn't seem out of place that you're performing in front of a sold out theater because you've kind of been building up to that. Yeah. But then,

to your point. It just accelerates it. Yeah. Even when you, when Mark Maron saw you. Yeah. Was that at Gilda's? Gilda's Laugh Festival.

He tweeted about you. Yeah. That seemed like it made a difference too. Just people recognize who you are. Yeah. That's where it's all kind of. Just people recognize who you are. Yeah. That's where it's all kind of,

it all like compiles on itself. Like where you're, where that happens. Yeah. When he tweeted that, that was like when Twitter like, mattered. Mattered.

Like you, like the retweets were. When was this? This was years ago. Gilda's Festival. This was like uh 2010 2011 something like that yeah and he said that uh did he call you the wrong name uh he called me yeah nate or nick but he mentioned me and then i did the podcast not too long not too long after

that he says one of the funniest comedians he's seen in years yeah i don't think he called me nick on twitter i think he he like added me correctly right but he's like oh but he's but yeah he was like uh yeah he said something like that is one of the funniest comics he's seen years and he's never really said anything like that right and uh and his podcast was huge and it just you know he's kind of going and then that was that was uh when it all kind of started like it was uh that was that was a it was a big big thing like a lot of people you know yeah i mean i remember getting texts i remember getting that's cool everybody going crazy they're like dude he just tweeted about you and that was i mean dude twitter was it just meant way more.

Yeah. And I feel like at that time, WTF was the closest thing we had to Carson. Yeah. As far as just validating the comic. Right. Rogan was not quite what it is. No.

I mean, Rogan was. Maybe anything. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, probably was doing something.

Yeah. And then, yeah, then Rogan. I felt that last time I did Rogan, when I did, when i just did right now you can tell sometimes like if i go to sagura's podcast there's a lot of people that i get introduced to uh their audience is much bigger they got it he's got a huge huge audience uh but

it's like you can tell like where you know it's like all that stuff just adds up where you can you just it's like you're just getting seen here and here and there's and it's like there's there is there's these pops where it's like all right this is a swing you things you know i always say like things are getting crazy like you can feel things just get a little crazier like a little more stuff happens that you're like all right i've never really seen that or felt that you know these this tour this rain check tour we're adding shows uh which is due to everybody listening to this and uh but it's like yeah it gets kind of crazy where you're like wow we're adding all these shows and doing all these things and you're you know the rhyming and grand ole opry and you know back to

back nights and it all just like slowly you know but you i don't think you sit there and you ever feel like you're like oh i'm done like you don't feel like that like that's that's the hard part sometimes you talk about like wanting to make it or you're you still got this drive and everybody's like oh well they're like i would kill to have like your career and you're like but you don't but i don't just give up yeah i don't then go like all right i got it i'm gonna relax let me just coast i still don't think i've made it right you know i know i have made it but i haven't made it right like i'm not there like i'm not seinfeld i'm not so i haven't made it but you know it's like when someone else is like thanks that you're you know it's tough that's always a hard part for people you when you do do it because you then you lose people to talk to

because they move i wish i would have made it and you're like i haven't made it though right you know i mean i've made it in yeah we're all here but it's like i'm still i still got this next special it's got to still be great goals i'm working yeah it's still got to be i still want to go i want to sell out bridgestone i want to go sell madison garden i want to see if i can get to that point and do all that stuff well that's not then i haven't made it where i want to make it but in theory so you had a few steps along the way that discovered on different levels. And, but I think that's almost everybody. Yeah.

To some degree. I mean, even you, uh, to some, like you did that show with the Zanies, Brad Paisley show, I think. Yeah. And that led you to get to do the Grand Ole Opry, right? Yeah. Yeah. A guy who worked at the Opry saw me and was like, you should do the Opry sometime.

I was like, alright. Then that guy became president of the Opry two years later. Two years later, I got an email from him out of the blue. It was like, let's do the Opry. I didn't realize it. That's pretty crazy. Right place, right time. Had a few of those where it's just

the right person was in the room. That's the opportunity. Yeah. Right. Luck is opportunity. Yeah. It's like you've got to be – dude, I remember when Fallon came in, it was – it's like, you know, we talked about Giannis.

Giannis is here, and, like, it was – Giannis was there, and it's like – I mean, I was very ready for him to see me do 10 minutes. I was going to murder for those 10 minutes because it was like i knew it was like there which i think i've talked about when he came back and saw me the second time at gotham uh you know where it's you know like you just knew i knew i could like you know i knew i was going to murder and you're just going to come out and it's going to be and you know that's not where you're trying to feel like you're overconfident or anything you're bragging yeah i don't you don't really come from that space but you come from a very confident space into going i'm ready for this i knew the set you're like i know the set i'm going to do i have enough i in 10 minutes you

know you're like i can kill easily for 10 minutes. I can kill pretty hard for 10 minutes. And so it was like you knew you could, and the opportunity came. And that's all you're being ready for. If anybody's doing comedy or anything else, just that's the thing. Don't go looking for the opportunity. The opportunity will come, and it will happen on its own. Be great and be undeniable and work on that. It's almost like you don't ever know when you're going to get hit. You don't know what's going to happen.

So just do that and be ready for whatever situation comes. And then when that situation comes and if it's the right time, maybe it is, maybe it isn't, because there's times where you think that was the right time and then it wasn't. And then when that time comes, you're ready. don't go you can't people i think people can sometimes search for uh opportunity too much like they think and i did too i'm not saying so i'm not saying don't do that i understand you're going to do that like it's i don't like to always i don't

like everybody's got to find their own path uh you know so i don't mean like if you're sitting there going like don't be an idiot and you know someone's like we think fallon's coming down and you're like i don't know if i'm gonna go like don't be yeah but i'm just saying be worry about whatever your act is or whatever your thing is make sure that's great and then when someone comes in to somewhere and then if they vouch for you and you do good for them that's how you get vouched to other people because then other people are like no i can and that's why on fallon i was they went through all these bookers until they got uh michael cox uh now who's been there now for a while and he's amazing but all the book is i was like everybody's first comic on fallon because it was like they knew they knew he found liked me and i was good at late night because i was clean and i was kind of doing that thing and uh so it was like you know it's like

you do that where it's like people can then rely on you and they're like all right i know this dude's gonna do good it's not gonna be a problem he's not going to be a problem. He's going to kill. It's going to be great. I want people to see him. And then you're, you know, yeah. And then you went on that clean cut comedy tour with him in front of a lot of people.

That's front of a lot of, yeah. Front of a lot of people. Uh, yeah. Get in front of all those people, like, you know,

open them for Chris rock and in front of all those people, that stuff all matters. Like getting in front of all those audiences, that stuff has come around. That comes around more than you think. It's just getting in front of those those people that stuff all matters like getting in front of all those audiences that stuff has come around that comes around more than you think it's just getting in front of those audiences is uh because you don't really think but you think about it more about opening for the person you're like i'm getting open for chris rock yeah so i'm just really thinking about that and then you look back and you have people come to shows and they're like we saw you chris rock and like it's a lot and you're like oh it's like the amount of people because you know it's just

word of mouth is basically how as is even probably the biggest i've had but it's it's people just passing along and like and that that spreads so much and that that can never be taken away from a voucher from a friend like of a like of a person sits there and it goes my good buddy says i trust him he says this guy's great that goes so far yeah you need the help of everybody else but like that's the the people the people watching and listening people listen to them more than listen to uh you know some guy they don't know yeah but if they if they tell me and then they want to be the one that tells you, you know,

how fun is it to tell someone about someone? Yeah. That's the funnest part. Yeah. That's why we, this is the whole reason you even like watching stuff is one reason is to go like, you got to see this thing.

Yeah. Because then you're like, you, you feel like a little like, dude, you told me about this. Like, that's crazy.

That stuff is, we have it with movies. We have it with artists. We have it with everything. You want to be that person yeah you want to be the one that puts on to someone else you'll be a tastemaker dude yeah that's gonna be a taste taste maker you want to be yeah yeah yeah when were you discovered well today it's here today yep yeah it's podcast yeah yeah it's definitely.

I said the opposite of, no, see? It all comes together. Yeah. All right. All right. This ended up being, this episode was a weird one. Yeah. Maybe, was it not? I felt like post-game analysis started out great, real dip,

came back with some fire, and then we ended with kind of a serious note. Sweet. I think something for everybody. Yeah. A little sweetness at the end. Yeah. Some pretty solid laughs in there for sure. I think so. I think something for everybody. A little sweetness at the end. Some pretty solid laughs in there. I think so. I think so.

Then we discovered each other. What did we discover? Discovered ourselves. The Grand Canyon. You have a Grand Canyon? It was 1540. One more. Post-its. Spanish Explorers, 1540. That's who have a Grand Canyon? It was 1540. Yeah, one more. Post-its.

Spanish Explorers, 1540. That's who discovered the Grand Canyon? Yep. Right time, right place. Yep. You know, imagine just being an explorer back then. You just get to walk up on this stuff. Oh, yeah.

I might do that as a joke. How easy it was to be an explorer back then. Easy to be an explorer back then. Just like, if you can make it over that hill, you're going to change the way the world looks. easy it was to be an explorer back then yeah i don't know easy to be explored back then just like if you can make it over that hill you're going to change the way the world looks yeah i'll wander over there all right i don't want to give that could be a pretty good job that's pretty good yeah uh all right uh i can't believe we got up to the time that we got to to be honest i kept looking at that clock sometimes, and I was like, I think it's going backwards.
