Welcome welcome everybody so i have been so this episode uh is uh i mean you see the title i don't even know if we know it yet but it's uh but we we we were gone for a few weeks uh we all had stuff and so we're kind of uh this is just kind of uh we're going to read some comments a lot of comments and then uh just kind of talk about what we've been doing. It's kind of a catch-up episode. Comments and catching up. Comments and catching up. There you go.

There you go. That's pretty good. Maybe that's it. Comments and catching up. So that's what we're doing today. I got my camouflage jacket from the Denny Sanford, right? Mm-hmm. Premier Center.

Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Yeah. They gave me this. That's an awesome jacket. You've been eyeing it pretty hard. I know. I love camouflage, dude. I used to wear it to open mics a bunch.

I got trashed pretty regularly. I love it. I would wear it all the time. Yeah. You think you're just born and you like it like that more than other people or something? I mean, you're born that way too, right? You like camo like that? I don't think so.

I mean, I don't, I don't, I have nothing against camo, but I don't like, you know, you walk in a Bass Pro Shop, you're like, oh man. Yeah, pretty much. You love it. I want to buy all of it. You're going to buy all of it. When I was in middle school, that was the cool thing to have was a camouflage jacket like that. All the cool kids had it.

Was it the hay bus ride y'all rode on? Was that bumpy? How long did it take y'all to get to the school? Did y'all have pumpkins to sit on? Or you just have to kind of... Is this in Alabama? Yeah, this is Alabama. This is Phillip Rivers' new home.

This is what, right? Hey, he got his first win. Did you see that? 49-0. Dominated. Yeah, man. Sportsmanship. Come on, Eric.

Yeah, St. Michael. Go Cardinals, dude. Yeah, that was a domination. Uh-huh. I wonder, do you think he goes back to the NFL this year at some point? Like someone gets hurt and then they got to bring him back? That's what they asked him. But the football season. Oh, what did he say? They asked him and he was like, gets hurt and then they got to bring him back that's what they asked oh what'd he say they asked him he was like yeah i'm never gonna completely rule that out which is what you say when you're asked a question like that i could

see it like he probably is like you know if it's they're not gonna he's not gonna come back for like a losing record but if he's looking at um you know he'd come back for like yeah i mean like super bowl run and you're like, yeah, I'll go back. They have an injury or something. Which happens a lot. Yep. Could happen for the next couple years. You said your dad asked him about that?

Well, probably. It was a big national news article so I assume they talked about it. He's coaching the season as far as i know i'm sure they've talked that's very funny that you you just said that they they go they asked him that and then now we're getting to you go i mean i'm sure they asked him that no no he's asking if my dad talked to him i was like yeah i'm sure they had a conversation when they interviewed

hey read the newspaper today it says he's thinking about leaving you know because we talked about that on here a week or two ago yeah you. You said he took it out of context. Yeah, it was a misleading headline. It was like Rivers said he's still ready to leave or something. It's like, that's not quite what happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe he just wants that money from your dad. Hey, yeah.

He's holding out. You see if the school can match his millions of dollars contract. Probably not. The school goes under, and it's Phil Rivers. They have to pay him $50 million. And they're like, we just don't even have that money. He goes, well, you better find it. Yeah, raise tuition.

Yeah, raise tuition. Everybody's tuition goes to $1 million a year. And they're like, well, this is too much. Would you all want to win a football team or not? The town goes under. Yeah. What do you all want? Maybe you get your priorities straight.

That's what I got an offer on the table right now. $50 million. That would be very funny. Yeah. So they get, we, I did shows this weekend with, this past weekend with Jeff Foxworthy.

And I'll tell you about those in a second, but they gave me this jacket. I want to explain why I have the jacket on. Cause this is, this is an erin jack you love it i do love it did you did y'all hunt never did a lot of my friends did we just weren't a hunting family we weren't a hunting family either yeah was that camouflage hat you bought at that baseball game we were at recently yeah that was more like an army camouflage though okay

yeah that's you know the different that's the kind that you would notice the difference. That's real tree. That looks like the woods. Real trees, okay. The army camouflage is totally different. It's like they do it different to blend in. It's like squares. Yeah, this is like you got a real tree.

That's why. So the animals are like. It's called real tree. It's like a trio. Is that what it's called? It says it on a real tree right there. That's what that type of camouflage is called real tree edge what if the deer sees what hurt me is the deal goes you get there and he goes i saw the denny sanford logo and you go god damn it and you knew i was there the whole time i goes yeah dude

everybody we've all been talking. Everybody knows you're here. All right, man. All right, next time. He goes, yeah, well, maybe don't wear the logos. And they all, you know, really go after me as something. I don't know. I used to have a deer peeing on the deer joke. I was just thinking about the joke where the wife's like,

just let it go. And he's like, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, yeah. That's one of my favorite lines of the joke. Yeah. Peeing on the deer joke. I was just thinking about the joke where the wife's like, just let it go. And he's like, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, yeah. That's one of my favorite lines of the joke. Yeah. God, what was that joke? Was it the peeing?

It wasn't that. Was it the launching of the missile? No, that was. No. That was. I've had a lot of animals getting killed jokes. But it was the idea that a deer goes, no, no, no. I'll talk to him.

He goes, no. His wife said, let it go. i was thinking of somewhere you could go and shoot a deer pay a i don't know yeah something like that it's a great joke yeah it's a great joke very memorable yeah it's a very funny thing to be like the it's very funny to picture that's what people when you listen to comedy i think is try to really picture it that's what makes that's what we do i think when we come up with a joke or that's what i do paint a picture i bet yeah and not that i try to paint the picture but as i'm telling it i picture it and like stuff is like so funny when you if you can picture a wife deer saying just let it go and the husband deer going no no no no he needs to know and then and then go back inside go i'll talk to him going hey man i saw your logo on there it's very funny i'm sure

that's how people listen to comedy anyway they picture that's the comic's job is to make you picture it right you're good at putting human characteristics on an animal. You've got a lot of animal jokes like that where you're putting it in our shoes. If they were in our shoes or wearing their shoes, I guess. That's normal. Yeah. And the dead horse, I got to witness firsthand. Yeah. Right up close.

That's how it got made. We saw through it all. Because that's actually pretty easy, to be honest. If anybody likes Nate's comedy, they are dumb. Because what you see behind the curtain... It's not that hard.

It's not that hard. There's a couple screws, a couple flathead screws. You just screw those in, and then you're off and running. So let's start with some comments. Let's see if you guys like uh the comment this is a good this is a comment heavy so this is a proof of concept episode right because people have talked we talked about doing this for a while yeah people have asked so we see what they think if they're

going to be like hey i like it if they don't like it uh you know who knows only way one way to find out money part two comments patrick eversole nate referring to the water in corpus christi as the ocean a week after the oceans episode encapsulated how the podcast has grown from the beginning yeah that's the gulf of me Yeah, so it's not the ocean. Right. I mean, I think technically the Gulf of Mexico is part of the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah, it is for sure. Yeah, I mean, if they walked in, they showed up together,

you couldn't be like, you're going to make the Gulf of Mexico leave. And he goes, I got all the things they have. But it is kind of funny. The week before, you talked about going to the Gulf of Mexico and how it's so different than the ocean. You made fun of it, kind of. Yeah. But it is kind of funny. The week before, you talked about going to the Gulf of Mexico and how it's so different than the ocean. You made fun of it, kind of. Yeah. Yeah, well, I don't remember week to week.

I mean, I go, every week's a brand new week for me. I'm like a goldfish. Ted Lasso. Happiest animal on the planet, goldfish. I only remember 10 seconds. John Rahm said it. Golfer this week. He's a Ted Lasso fan.

But yeah yeah they're basically you know they could hang out they hang out yeah they touch towards the end of it they're like

they're all in the mix they're bumping elbows right there I mean they're in the mix I would say the people closer to shore that family of ocean Gulf of Mexico

is kind of like what's it like you know ask the other what's it like out there he goes it's big man that's what he tells the ones that's closest goes, it's big, man. That's what he tells the ones that's closest. He goes,

it's big. I mean, they were all a wave coming in. So they came in and they just get, that's where they go to die. The waves go to die

in the Gulf of Mexico. They come in through there. I mean, that's what's going on with Ida. Ida came in, ocean, died.

That's what hurricanes do. Because the Gulf of Mexico ate it? Well, once it hits land there, that's what's going on with Ida. Yeah. Ida came in, ocean, died. That's what hurricanes do. Because the Gulf of Mexico ate it. Well, once it hits land there, it's going to die out. Yeah. It's one of the only critique of a hurricane. What's that? The land. You can't hit the land.

Yeah. It's the only thing that hurts it. It just gives up once it hits it, right? Yeah. Yeah, I get it. I don't like running either. A lot of heels. Brody Martin.

I'm a special agent in one of the three-letter government agencies. What is this? CIA. FBI. FBI. NSA. NSA. DEA.

DEA. Wow. Fed. Fed. DEA. DEA. Wow. Fed.

For some insight on your Secret Service confusion, all the major federal agencies are located in most American cities and U.S. territories. I always get confused with the U.S. territories. We own some other stuff. You know? You always kind of forget. Isn't Puerto Rico ours? Yeah.

Can we just go down there? No passport? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Guam, too. I've been to Guam. Yeah.

You didn't need a passport. I took a passport. I think I showed it. Guys, I'm good. I don't think we had it when I went. It was a long time ago. Before passports? Or we didn't have Guam? I don't think we owned it when I went. It was a long time ago. Before passports? Or we didn't have Guam?

I don't think we owned Guam yet. I think we got Guam after World War II, right? A little older than you think, Aaron. Secret service agent in Tampa could be investigating counterfeiting one day and helping to provide protection on a president visit the next. I agree it's weird that the Secret Service has protection duties and counterfeiting, but we all have strange things assigned and frequently overlap.

I've used some clips of your podcast when I've taught classes in interrogation undercover operations. Our job, kind of like comics, is reading the room, engaging in behavior to reach a certain goal, like gain a confession, infiltrate a gang, get a laugh, et cetera. Body language, voice inflection, subtle movements all play into it,

and comedy is a great place to observe those reactions happen naturally. Among your other career backup plans, lawyer, adjunct professor, golf cart attendee, y'all could add a special agent to the list. Whoa. I'm wondering, am I too old? He says no. No. I could do that.

I mean, I don't know. I'd have to be talked out of this golf cart attendee. Did you think one day that a clip of you talking would be used in a class, an interrogation and undercover operations by the federal government? I'm pretty sure this guy's going to get fired for that. I mean, I don't, I can't imagine he makes it much longer once they,

once they track it down. If they're good, if any of them are good at what they do, they will track this, that video clip down to him. Well, he gave his name. Oh yeah. Oh, what does he say? Come on, Brody. at what they do they will track this that video clip down to him well he gave his name oh yeah

come on brody dead brody he goes now he's sitting there are you what does it say that they used to waterboard but now they show clips from our podcast to interrogate terrorists just me trying to get through horse divorce and then they and then they have no more no more he goes all right i'll show out the missiles are over behind that trash can right over just right behind that trash yeah they're right over there they're smaller they fit right back there uh yeah that i mean you know i get it like because he's like saying you got to be that being undercover is probably like you feel like those guys just stink of federal agent or something. They always say undercover cops like Donnie Brasco. He had to go in.

You got to go in and be deep or the departed. You got to be so crazy. We just talked about Donnie Brasco. Aaron's never seen it yeah no yeah it's great i watched it uh but it's uh i couldn't tell you i could watch it again that's got to be something i could go watch it again right now i don't think i'd remember and it'd be like it's the first time i can usually know i can start a movie and then i can tell when i go to re-watch it i'm like i remember too much of it and i know that it's going to fade away and then i can tell when i go to re-watch it i'm like i remember too much of it and i know

that it's going to fade away and then i'll then i'll watch it again later and know oh i could go i mean like pelican brief i think i could go back and do it and i just watched that i don't know a month ago yeah and i think i could already echo head back in. Things don't stick with me. Some movies are like that. You have to be watching them intensely. But there's people that always remember everything. They can tell you every, you know,

people don't like about my Marvel take. So then it made me think, well, I guess I need to go watch them all. Because I guess I didn't do it right. And then I always like to have something I can just kind of go watch. As I tell you that, I won't remember it. But I think I'm going to wait till Harper's a little older. Watching through with her? Yeah, I want to watch. Like, I did that with Star Wars.

And like, so it's like, I'll just wait till, you know, a couple years when she's like, I think she wants to do it. And then I'll be like, all right, let's watch. Let's go through this together. So I'm going to wait for her. That'd be fun. That's the fun part. Sometimes you look at these movies and you're like, I haven't seen them.

And then you're like, oh, I'll go show. We'll do that. We'll go through Jaws. I don't know if we'll do Jaws. It's a little too intense, maybe. It's a lot. The Shining. Yeah, we'll do The Shining.

Scream. I'm a big Scream fan. It's a little too intense, maybe. It's a lot. The Shining. Yeah, we'll do the Shining. Scream. I'm a big Scream fan. We can go through that. All right, yeah. Well, thank you, Brody. That's awesome. Special agent. All right.

Do you have to go to school for that, I wonder? I hope so. You have to know that you have to not be surprised when you learn that we have uh other countries other territories maybe i'd be unbelievable yeah because you could fake it so well because it would be because it'd be real yeah yeah i don't know that you bought puerto rico you're like we're on a credit card how did we buy it and they're like this guy's all right he's not a cop he's good he's good and the next day you see me running next to a limo with a thing in the air. What's up?

There's people over there. That makes sense that they have to when you go travel to town. I always just thought the Secret Service came. That's your report to the other Secret Service agents. There's people over there. People over there. Yeah, dude, we see it yeah all right some sketchy well if i was if i was gonna do some sketchy i'd be in that general area is what i'd say and they go well you go give us more of that i'm running next to a car so no i'm sorry pretty slammed right now i don't know what the point of me is

any it's just to be if you're the guy running next to the car it's basically you just wake up and go you're probably getting shot today like that's your only goal your only goal is to go to get shot you just run next to that car and they're like if anything happens by the way inside the car is so safe right the safest car ever built do you guys mind standing right outside the safest car why is it built so safe right the safest car ever built do you guys mind standing right outside the safest car why is it built so safe because people might fire a rocket launcher at it and we need to make sure that when it hits the car that people get killed outside of it and we want that to be you i mean that's what you got to absorb that rocket launcher you go but the car is safe right like why don't we

why don't we just have on the outside of the car have another layer of safety uh-huh so you have like you have a car you have they're inside and then another little window and then those guys get around in that window that's super safe i like but they're like running in between it on the side maybe they give them a shield yeah have have a little shield build a little shield around the tires when they run and a little back you know just something don't be throwing you're just throwing me out and you know i was i had to go knock on this old lady's door to see if she's counterfeiting five dollar bills yesterday now i gotta run next to i'm sorry i'm not in the right headspace for this. I think the president brings his own everywhere, but some of the lower level, they use what's in that town.

Oh, you're calling Brody lower level. Yeah. Well. I mean, that's what you just said. Well, that's what Brody's saying. I don't think Brody thinks of himself as lower. He's a special agent. Well, I don't know that he's calling himself.

Is he calling himself Secret Service? He's just in a three-letter agency uh oh okay yeah so he could be i mean he could be the president for all you know it could be it could be i just saw a thing a documentary on secret service guys and the main guy for obama on trump's inauguration he walks out with obama like right on his hip and they swear trump in as president and he walks out with trump it's just so funny like that's like his job so as soon as it switches power see ya former president yeah oh yeah it's just kind of funny how it's been real he's been his best friend for eight years and then see you wouldn't want to be you yeah i'm out of here he gets yeah but i'd imagine i wonder if they are best friends like you know yeah probably not yeah i'm sure there's like some i'm sure there's a lot of switching like i bet there's

a lot of i would imagine they you could be like i wonder if you went to the president could you pick out who is you're on your detail you might be like i don't know well i don't really see them like you know there's maybe maybe there's one point of contact yeah you know if i know if the west wing is accurate i can say here we go here we go is that you have secret service agents on family detail that were like accompany your kids places and those are people that are close to the family and you pick those. Okay. Okay. So you do have a personal relationship with those people. Yeah. Yeah. So like, and there's a plot line in the West Wing.

Their daughter goes to college and they have to send a Secret Service agent to be her roommate all through college. Yeah. So they like talked to people and interviewed and found one that they liked. And I'm assuming it's accurate because it's a good show. one that they liked and i'm assuming it's accurate because it's a good show when uh when my wife was at stanford she worked for condoleezza rice and uh chelsea clinton enrolled there so the clintons came to stanford met with uh condoleezza and brought their secret service guy and kind of talked about the process of uh you know he's on campus he's walking around with her wow so yeah so it it lasts for a while and there's a picture last week of the clintons on the beach walking

just strolling on the beach and there's two guys like yeah pretty close to him walking with him yeah i mean it's got to be weird every little thing you want you have to like get these two dudes like how much does it go like i just want to go running like get ice cream real fast and you're like i can't like because you think you're like i gotta go get him door dash yeah yeah but you get one before door dash though but like sonic i guess you would tell yeah i guess you'd have a guy that you go hey i want a sonic blast yeah go get it but but you probably want the experience i want to go i don't know but it could be sometimes you just want to go do something

yourself because you're like i don't want to get other people involved and if you know why i got to tell this guy the little that i've had security of when you're doing shows like when vegas it's kind of cool you a guy comes to your door it's funny they just come to your door right before the show and they walk you to the uh to the show and you walk like all underground vegas i don't know i talk about this like and you go they come they knock on your hotel door and it's the dude standing there and then you come out and you walk and we go you can either go through the casino or you could choose where you want to go but it's usually kind of tough to go to the casino because everybody's going to your show so we go down an elevator and we just go the back way and there's a whole city down there i mean like

it's you go underneath vegas and there's you walk by this cafeteria and it's got all this stuff and there's another cafeteria and like huge cafeterias these hallways are i mean i mean you know three times the size of this i mean you could probably fit our house in a hallway like it's just an enormous how like hallway and like people just cars the golf carts running around down there and you're not like crowded like it's crazy just think how big a hall is you're like man this is a big hallway and then he walks us all the way we come up through the back and uh that's it you could get as much security as you'd want uh they like provide you that to the show and then you know and i've you have it i have

it in some other like there's other cases where you kind of just got someone near you know you just want there's just someone uh you don't need it that you know but it's like how much i've thought about though like when you're when you think like i want to go somewhere i want to go run somewhere and you're like, you can't just go. Someone's got to know where you're at. I think when I taped the pilot, it was like I couldn't just be like – I mean, some I could, but you have to tell someone. They have to know what's going on.

And it's like – so I mean, I imagine if you got that Secret Service, you just want to be like, yeah, dude, I just want to go run a Taco Bell by myself and listen to the radio and like you know can y'all not yeah like you know i'm sure i bet they they do try to run off because in the stories of that where the kids will try to lose them and stuff at least in movies there's a great disney channel i think it was a disney channel original movie my date with the president's daughter yeah. Everybody remember that? It was a great movie.

It was a great movie. It's a guy he picks up the President's Daughter at the mall and doesn't know it's the President's Daughter and then he spends the whole night trying to escape from the Secret Service and hang out with her. Or she tries to ditch him. It's a good movie.

Disney movie? Like kids. Like y'all were all young enough enough yeah yeah it was a big movie when we were like nine and ten it's like we got people got a little erin land been a while been a while yeah erin lands we got a new crew erin lands back erin lands back everybody's welcome hillary green we made it through two comments hillary green president lincoln actually signed the bill to create the secret service the same back. Everybody's welcome. Hillary Green. We made it through two comments. Hillary Green. President Lincoln actually signed the bill to create the Secret Service the same day he was assassinated.

Saw that coming. That's pretty crazy. Not quick enough. Yeah. Alright. Too soon, Aaron. Lexi Icorn. Ecorn? Icorn? I go Icorn. I went to college in an affluent bay area town and went to an atm

off campus to get to get cash one day before between classes and there was a receipt left in the machine that read over six hundred thousand dollars in their checking account wow i some of his man you ever look you look at someone's receipt if you don't like you ever they leave it when you go up there or sometimes you see the rece look at someone's receipt if you don't like you ever they leave it when you go up there or sometimes you see their receipts on top of the ATM and you're like

I just want to see what are we especially like when I like when you had I mean I would always have like $20 in my bank account like barely and I

you know I'd go cash checks at Walmart because they they couldn't tell and I would over charge my account all the time for 20 dollars 20 dollars is so much it's so funny that's nothing now but it's uh but like you but you'd always

want to just be what's everybody else doing like and sometimes you see someone you're like that guy's got his life ticket like what is that guy doing you just look at his you know he has like three grand in his checking account you're like what is that like dude what are you the richest person that's ever lived yeah and you just think you're you're sitting there just trying to trick the a team you're hoping that this the it doesn't get to the bank yet and they just go oh yeah dude i'll give you 20 and you just take off running before he's like wait a second do you don't have that in there and you go i don't have any money and you steal the $20 and you pay for it, your credit score for the rest of your life.

I used to be embarrassed about the bank teller. I would have negative $8 in my account and I have a $20 check and I just have to hand it to the guy and the guy pulls up my account and he's like, oh, geez. He's got nothing. He must just see that all day, though.

And then what do you say? Does he give you the 20? He deposits it, and I get back in the black. I'm just trying to get above zero. Yeah, I'm depositing a check. But, you know, anytime they pull up my account, I'm always embarrassed. Yeah. He wants to be like, just don't have a bank.

You shouldn't be coming in here. Just keep cash on you. Why do you have a bank? Yeah, I mean, that's a good point. All you're doing is paying them. You're the Planet Fitness of banks. And the fact that you just sign up for one because you got a free tote bag and it was camouflage and you loved it and you couldn't say no to it,

and now you're going in and giving them a $20 check try to you gotta ask your mom for $20 check just so you because that's probably where you got it right your mom gives you a $20 check and then you go give it to the bank just to get to what $12 were you paying overdraft 12 you do get over yeah overdraft fees so you're losing money just by having your money in a bank hey listen i'm doing better now but i was i was trying to uh trying to establish myself at the banking i got you trying to build i think that helps i think it's a good thing like to go through all that kind of stuff i mean that's stuff that i think about where it just it builds your character as like a human being. Like when you're a kid and you're sitting there going like,

I don't have money in the bank. I don't want my parents to find out. They're going to find out because my mom can get in my bank account, but I don't have any. And then you're like, well, I'll just deal with that later. It's just all this stuff. And that feeling of – I mean, I remember just having that. I think of it a lot now. I fill my tank up with gas because I just,

so much of my life was driving around barely with enough gas. And now, and, you know, it took, even when I first could start just affording to a fill, just I could fill it up every time. And like, I remember just doing, like before you don't even go all the way because I wasn't used to it. But then you start going like, well, just put it,

just fill it up. And then you realize that you're you start going like well just put it just fill it up and then you realize that you're like oh adults just they just fill it up like they that's what they do they just pay yeah and i would never like it was just that that was that was a big feeling for me just when the moment i could like i can just put always just put a full tank of gas in it's just the older you get you start doing that stuff i mean when you're younger you could do that too but you don't when you're younger, you could do that too, but you don't because you're, you don't want to, you don't want,

you look at like, you only have this money, so you don't want to waste it. Yeah. And so you just sit there and go like, well, I can just get five bucks was all you had to put in for us. Do you ever not fill it up all the way?

Cause you're bored standing there waiting for it. I've thought about it. Yeah. That's enough. That's plenty. Yeah. Yeah. That's enough. That's plenty. Yeah, that's enough. I go, and when I start it, I walk in the gas station.

I let it run. No, I'm not out there. You do that? That's what I do. Yeah. Even if you don't need anything? Yeah. I mean, I would just kill the time.

Well, it's not like it's an hour and a half. Well, some pumps are slow, man. Yeah, but you go in there, sometimes some pumps are slow. You just go in the gas station, look around, maybe you get something, maybe a little Sour Patch Kid or something like that, you know?

There's stuff in there. Yeah. And then you go... I told you about the comic who did that and it didn't click off. Yeah. And he's just inside and he just sees people outside

running around like crazy. Yeah. Someone's like, call the fire department. And someone's like, get those cars out of the way. And gas had just poured out all over. It was like a hazmat situation. Yeah.

And when – He walks out with a blow pop. I mean, that was basically it. And then they have to call in all these people. And then at the end, they like – It's like $290 for gas because it didn't click off he's like i'm not paying this the thing didn't click off but i mean they're like mopping like they had to shut down that gas station yeah oh man yeah i always worry about that but i still do it i drove away with

the thing still in my car like last week really yeah i got it nothing happened it just it just Really? Yeah. Tore it off? Nothing happened. It just got ripped out. I got distracted or something. I've never done that before, but I drive it, and then I just hear people yelling as I'm pulling away, and I look back. You didn't feel it? It was filled all the way up. No, you didn't feel it.

Like in the cars you drove away? I felt it when it ripped out of the thing, yeah. And you still had to be stopped by people? Well, I was like breaking. You go, go, go, go, go, go. You go, oh, let's put a new speed bump right over when you exit. Let's get on out of here. I just heard the woman behind me be like, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir.

And I'm like, what's going on? And then I pulled out and ripped out of the car. And it was fine, thankfully. What did they do? How I just got out, I got out i was like that's embarrassing yeah i hope you're okay do a little five minutes it didn't rip it off the thing i mean that's what a comedian does i mean that's when we're at our best and we do something super embarrassing to come out we destroy yeah like that's that's all we got to offer is you come out and you just try

to be like super fun funny and everybody like laughs and you try to diffuse the situation that's what i did i was just self-deprecating i was like ah yikes yeah tough start to the day or something lame you know yeah but then we grabbed it out and you go what am i gonna do with it you start to take drink you're like i don't even know how do i keep it do i not you start you start like like uh like a prop yeah do. But does the guy run out? Do you go back in the store? No. There's got to be more to the story.

So you pulled this off, and then you're just being like, yeah, and then it's not that big of a deal. So I did what you did. I got it going, then I went inside. Yeah. I came out. It was done. So gas isn't coming out of it.

But I got distracted. Something threw my routine off where I just got in the car and started driving away. So I drove. It got ripped out. No gas was coming out of it. So it didn't break or anything. How much is like off? Like the whole black thing that goes down the tube that all the gas goes in?

No, just the handle part. Yeah. And then I just put it back and put it back in. It was fine oh yeah but i look like a moron because everyone everyone around saw it and i'm so they made it now where it's like you can just it's a breakaway it's a break yeah yeah it's the way it should be you know yeah maybe you just do it so no one even knows or maybe they do know hopefully they don't they don't know hopefully i think you did some damage you just don't realize it what gas station was this

so we can go look at it I don't remember Shell Station somewhere you don't remember Donaldson Pike where probably the one Donaldson

yeah probably that one I know which one it is the one right on the corner Donaldson Leavening Road yeah you know that show I'm from there

it's my town okay yeah I remember that show? I'm from there. It's my town. Yeah. I remember when that show got built. That's a nice gas station. Used to be. Used to be.

Yeah. Now the riffraff just. Yeah. Doesn't care. Yeah. They have to be told they don't feel anything. They just drive off. Stuff's on fire behind them when they get home doesn't notice for two weeks how long you think it'd take you to notice what do you mean

like when you park at home you think you could park and just not realize it for a couple days realize what that that it was that it's in the thing what if you park like where you just kind of pull in where's your gas tank on the it is yeah it's possible it could have been a couple days if it was just in there is it on the driver's it's on the driver's side so maybe i would have saw it when you walk back in no when i walk back out to my car the next day yeah yeah sir sir sir sir you're a folk i know let's go all right i got it let's go folks all right everybody says it we can't go anywhere in this town anymore yeah can't yeah everybody knows this

now yeah they know you because we're wrecking apart um uh god what was i gonna say i don't know there was something i was thinking of but all right're into, how do we even get the gas from that? Who knows? What were you talking about? The receipt? Oh, yeah, yeah. And then you, yeah, oh, then you drove gas. You stole gas.

I don't even. Well, you talked about how you now have enough money to fill up. Yeah. Where you used to not. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. It wasn't much of a reach. I went, oh, Lexi All right. It wasn't much of a reach. I went Lexi Icorn.

Goldfish. Yeah. Yeah. Welcome to Money Part 2 comments. Spencer Sheffield, former bank teller here. To answer Aaron, the Secret Service is exactly one call away when a bank finds counterfeit, and it is required by law to call them even if it's a fake one dollar bill sounds like spencer found out the hard way and that's why he's a

former bank teller yeah he was the inside job kind of thing uh-huh kind of getting those ones yeah scott gwen a few years back i worked in a convenience store and this one person paid with two dollar bills consistently I thought he may have worked for a bank or something of that nature when a co-worker told me it was because he goes to clubs

for exotic dancers the only change they would give their customers was in twos talk about maximizing benefits thank you folks for all the laughs and the good clean fun weird the only change they would give their customers was in twos maximizing benefits. Thank you folks for all the laughs and the good, clean fun.

Weird. They only changed, they would give their customers in twos. So you can't throw a $1 bill if you don't throw twos. I guess it's a good one to work at. That's the work you got to go do. That's not a bad one to go do. At least we can only give you two. You got to bring your ones your ones yep and then you got the guys they're bringing their one i'll bring my own ones robin daniel clemson football fans have been paying with two dollar bills for decades to show

their impact on the local economy for away games and bowls that's pretty nice yeah it's a good way to kind of make your mark so that you so you can like, when you go there, you're like, oh, we made a lot. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, for Nate Land, let's all do $3 bills. What's another weird number? Everybody give. Well, let's say you wanted a $25 bill.

I would love a $25 bill. Yeah, well, let's make it. Okay. Okay. We've got a former bank teller here yeah spencer spencer probably knows the ins and outs of it yeah and can get us because if he got fired from his inside job and so but if brody's listening he might be on to us well somebody sounds like he's about to retire so brody might want to be brody might want to get it get in on this too

and we could you brody we could use you, your expertise, and teach Spencer about what he did wrong. And he goes, what are you saying? I was saying y'all thought it was dumb that I wanted a $25 bill. But somebody pointed out in the comments, there's a 25 cent, you know, it's a quarter. Yeah. So why not use the same...

Logic. Yeah, for the bills. 25. So you got a penny, a nickel, a dime, a quarter. Yeah. So it should be a 1, 5, 10, 25. I think because there's a $5 bill.

But there's a nickel. Yeah so but there's a nickel yeah but change gets broken but you got changes like so different like it's uh yeah yeah changes i think you it's change can be so you know just one to 99 it's just a lot of it you know i mean it can you need a bunch of different so a quarter is like kind of getting it rolling and like everybody a quarter is like in a dollar is nothing a dollar is like so it's you can break down a dollar you're trying to break down a dollar as much as you can but breaking down a hundred dollars well I'd rather broke in 520s than 425s. Okay. And then you're going to give me a bunch of ones.

It's like when you get pennies. You're like, let's keep the pennies. I take them. They say there's a coin shortage everywhere I go now. Krispy Kreme says that. That's the only place I know, to be honest.

Krispy Kreme has a thing that says there's a coin shortage. And then I give them exact change sometimes. Just to help out? Well, when I'm trying to hide it from Laura, I don't want it to get traced on my credit card. So when I go pay cash, then I have like the, you know. Yeah. Yeah.

And Dusk Lux is a brand, because every time he reads that, people always comment, he was trying to say Deluxe. No. But you're getting it right. Dusk. Yeah. Dusk Lux. Yeah.

You're guessing that I don't know what I'm doing. I mean, I get where they would get that. I thought that for a while. Where would they get that idea? What a leap. Wow. The jump that they took. All right, 1990s episode.

Here we go. Ivan Ramirez. So what's Nate Lane about? Well, they spent five minutes talking about horse divorce. That's a pretty good example. People love that. They did? That was a hit. That's a pretty good example. People love that. They did? That was a big hit.

That was a big hit. Did you see the fake business card somebody made? Yeah, that was great. Yeah, it was really, really funny. Yeah, I saw that. That was very funny. Yeah, horse divorce. I think when we got done, you're like,

I bet that one's going to be good. Yeah. Yeah. Can't read. It's always like uh it's funny then as you sit there and really think about it you get sad you know you're like well i'm pretty good time right and then you're you're like but i don't know how to read you know it's like watching force cup yeah yeah it's a fun movie yeah yeah at its core at his core tragedy something's really wrong with joe list had a great had a great joke about that force come i don't know his mom should not have let him enrolled in the military because he was

special needs and that you can't like it should be a movie about how someone should attract his mom down like what are you out of your mind like you can't let him like uh curtis crowe like oh skip the head master crafter i am the same age as nate i was looking forward to this one the things i I remembered about the 90s are the Chicago Bulls championship runs, the dream team, and the deaths of Selena, Kurt Cobain, and Chris Farley. I thought as a comedian, you would at least mention Chris, but nope.

And y'all glossed over how grunge music changed the music scene. Instead, I get 10 minutes on horse divorce. Wow. Yeah, I don't know about music. But I mean, I've thought about mean i i'm not i've thought about it i'm not a music i'm not your music guy i don't think about grunge music how it changed that's uh i don't know anything about i can meet musicians and they it's it's i mean i feel like

i'm someone that doesn't like sports and meeting an athlete. You're like, you don't know who that is? And I'm like, I don't. And you're like, oh, he's the greatest guitarist or something. And you're like, ah, yeah, it's crazy. And it's not like I appreciate it and I listen to music, but I don't. It does not connect. Music, it doesn't connect like that. I don't think I could watch a documentary on how grunge music changed everything.

I don't know if I would find that. You're saying Selena dying wasn't a big pivotal moment in your life in the 90s? That I don't know. Selena, I do remember it. I remember Kurt Cobain dying. Chris Farley, I guess. We've talked about that. We've talked about it before.

I could drive you. I was in front of a gas station, a BP gas station. I could show you where it was. I could drive you to it. I've driven by it. You've told us this before, yeah. Right at the moment, I go, that's right when I heard Chris Farley die on the radio. Wow.

Selena, I remember because the president of her fan club was the one who murdered her, if I remember correctly. Oh. And then J-Lo played her in the movie. Yeah. The West Wing episode about that? No. Actually, do you know that bar right around the corner from Zany's in Chicago?

It's right across from Second City. Yeah. When I was up there in June, everyone's's like you got to go to this bar it's like a famous comedian bar because all chris farley and all those guys oh yeah in chicago yeah oh i've been to it they go there right after second city yeah and they're like you sit in this booth this is where they all sat it's really cool yeah yeah so uh i've done that i i completely checked out when you started talking at the top of that. That's okay.

You caught up. Yeah. I mean, I was thinking about Selena. There's a statue of her at Corpus Christi. Yeah. And it's downtown. Did you go to see it? No, but we talked about it.

So there's a lot of Selena talk, actually, in life you know pretty quick but we'd go to that we would go to that bar after uh second city and so when i took an eight-week course at second city and my buddy michael he stayed the whole year him and john uh we were all roommates and they stayed for i think the whole they did the whole year and Then I did eight weeks, and then that was it. Still talk to both of them. Really? That's what I mean. You get in.

I don't let you go. I'll talk to you for the rest of my life. Have I met John? I don't. Some of your classmates have come to shows that we've done. At Second City? Not at Second City. Oh, I was thinking

about your stand-up class. Yeah. Yeah, they came to... I met your stand-up teacher. Yeah. Yes, Jim Roth. Comedy College. Yeah, he came to Wisconsin.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they've come. See? Don't talk to everybody. You get in.

Let's see what's going on. That was in the Chicagoago tribune uh curtis crow uh i don't understand why the people get mad about the horse divorce for 10 minutes well i was i thought it was only five minutes yeah no it's getting longer it's getting long if you don't like if you loved it it was five and if you hated it it was what is that it was like 30 minutes of horse divorce. How does that guy not think horse divorce is? What do you,

what do you? That was the best part of the episode. Yeah, that would be on the best of. Yeah. I think. Best of part two.

Horses are getting divorced. Episode two. And it's more than you think. He's a big Selena fan. Come on. Curtis Crowe, speaking of horses, when I was a kid,

our horse Sonny died. When a horse dies, you don't have many options. My dad decided to bury it where it lay. He got his buddy out with a backhoe and they dug a hole. I couldn't stand to watch, so I didn't come back and visit the grave for a couple of days. When I came back, one of Sonny's hoofs was sticking out of the ground. Clearly, they didn't dig the hole deep enough, but as a child, I freaked out. out of the ground. Clearly they didn't dig the hole deep enough but as a child

I freaked out. I honestly thought Sonny was still alive and was trying to get out. Makes me think of Nate's joke. I thought my dad had buried Sonny

while he was taking a nap. Oh. Yeah. Did the hole deep. He goes, let's get it. Why wouldn't you cover up the whole body?

Yeah. Yeah, I don't, I mean, yeah, that's great. Just a hoop sticking out. That would traumatize you as a kid, I'm sure. Yeah. You don't, I mean, yeah, when they die, you don't have, I mean, you gotta, it's not easy. It's a big thing. A pet?

No, a horse. A horse, right. You know, it's just a, it's big, you know, and you're like, poof. You get out there and, you know, you can't do it alone. I mean, you got to get a backup. Mm-hmm. So that's a lot. Casey Siminski.

That was very funny, though, Curtis. Casey Siminski. Aaron is totally right when it came to kids making fun of other kids watching Barney. He never, ever admitted to watching Barney. I hate you. You hate me. Let's get together and kill Barney. What?

Was just unlocked in my childhood memories. Thanks, folks. Also, that baby on the Nirvana album is suing. Saw that. Saw that, too. But I do remember that song. Yeah. I hate you.

You hate me. Let's get together do remember that song. Yeah. I hate you. You hate me. Let's get together and kill Barney. Yeah. Ba-ba-brap-brap-brap. Yeah. Yeah. Why would people say that? The kids were just saying that.

Oh, we would sing that. It's like Jingle Bells, Batman Smells. It's like one of those. Yeah, yeah. Those fun little parodies. With the word hate and kill. Someone commented. It's your speed.

Yeah, it's your speed. Yeah, it's a fun, yeah, you know, it's one of those fun kids, like Smelt It, Delt It, you know, y'all talking about murder and hate as a fun song. I think it's a little different.

Y'all rose the, I've never heard that, man, that's, I was, Barney was past, I was already, you know, I was out in the real world when Barney when did Barney come around? early 90s

yeah I was you were making stuff happen I mean I was 13 I was like you can be watching that stuff do you know the song Bear Necessities?

I think so I don't know someone said that did it change the music? well they think you were trying to last week when you did Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, they think you were singing the tune to Bare Necessities.

What is the Bare Necessities? I'm not going to sing it. Bare Necessities, the simple Bare Necessities. How did he sing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. No, I would have. No, I know that because Harper sings that song. Lauren Harper sings that song.

All right. I think. But maybe. That's why I didn't talk about Kurt Cobain. Well, we just talked about the Nirvana Baby, so. Yeah, the Nirvana Baby. They got that kid suing. But that seems kind of crazy

it's like i get like i i i i you know i get like he had no say in it but it's like it's on your parents like you could sue your parents i guess but didn't he do an updated photo like 10 years later and 20 years later yeah i'm not gonna look for it that's for sure yeah oh well i assumed he wore clothes in the updated one but yeah well then he didn't do an updated photo yeah i guess i just i read a comment i don't know if it's true that someone said why is he suing if he cared that much why did he keep doing yeah i think he's celebrated before but then now it's like you probably i mean you don't know if someone needs money then they're faint i think it's hard to be like you're kind of uh i mean no one knows you

because of that you could keep that a secret for your whole life uh you could almost not even know that was you if your parents don't tell you that you you would you would have no idea. But I guess, like, it's, look, I bet that stuff's hard where you're like, I got nothing. This is the most famous album, one of the most famous albums ever, covers. Everybody's just seen the cover. Yeah. So you're in one of the more famous pictures of all time. And you, and you're, and're – he could have no money now.

And it's like – so then I bet that's tough. They're probably the same age. That could have been you. Could have been. Just sunk to the bottom like a stone. They couldn't get the camera flashing in quick enough. Missed him. Do it again.

Get him back up here. You got to get a lighter kid in here. When Kramer goes and swims in the river. Yeah. And that old man jumps in. He goes, he's sunk to the bottom like a stone. Ron Schick. Aaron's saying Harry Meeks will inherit the earth was one of the funniest

things of the episode and it went flying over the heads of nate and borg borgio see what's that word yes i don't know bourgeois oh well that's a very bourgeois what uh that's probably almost a perfect spelled word Cause no one's going to say it that way. And you go, it's bourgeois. It's like that word is meant to make that other person feel dumb. Is bourgeois. Is,

is that's the whole. I don't even know if I'm saying that right. I think. But I guarantee you that's spelled so perfectly. Cause it's like, what does bourgeois means? It goes, you know how you feel when you don't say it right.

And I'm how I make you feel. It's I'm, I'm bourgeois. Isn't that what bourgeois is? Like bougie you know how you feel when you don't say it right and how I make you feel? I'm bourgeois. Isn't that what bourgeois is? Like bougie. Yeah, like I'm better. How crazy is it? That word is exactly. So what's bourgeguise?

It's bourgeois. And then you walk away and go, oh, I'm sorry. I got a Barney t-shirt on. Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know bourgeguise. And you go, it's bourgeois you drink with your pinky up and get some bourgeois which is a hard way to hold a cup yeah 50 of your hand straight comes from your pinky yeah why do they drink with the pinky they just shake and they're they're just gonna be proper sitting having dinner with the queen. I think it's those teacups.

Those teacups that you can really grab with just these. Oh, with those two. Just the pinchers, yeah. Yeah. But this kind of mug, yeah, that is hard. Yeah. It's hard to get. What is Harry Meeks Will Inherit the Earth?

I missed that. He's right. The Meek Will Inherit the Earth? You never heard that saying? Yeah,eks will inherit the earth? I missed that. He's right. The meek will inherit the earth? You never heard that phrase? Yeah, I know that phrase, but I missed you saying this. I don't remember saying that, but the guy liked it, so I'll take credit for it. I guess there was somebody named Harry Meeks, and I said he will inherit the earth. Okay.

I don't even remember that. Man, I don't remember it either. I don't know what the saying is. It sounds like a joke. What's the saying? It's a biblical thing. The meek will inherit the earth. The meek will inherit the earth. The Meek will inherit the earth.

Okay. Maybe that's the guy who wrote the alcohol book. Was that Harry Meeks? I don't know. I don't remember that, but it's very funny apparently. Yeah. That's a good joke. Well, Aaron and Ryan like it.

Yeah. I don't get it. Yeah. Aaron and Ryan, the bourgeois. My little two bourgeois for you guys. They're going to start their bourgeois, Aaron and Ryan podcast. It's about bourgeois things, and y'all just talk about how Nate and Bumpkin Bread didn't get, don't understand what they're,

What's the source? We don't even know. We don't even know. Healthline.com. Well, they've got to know. Yeah, they sound legit. Thank you, Wes. Ethan Williams, the reason we haven't cured COVID is because no one has asked Daniel Rucker.

I would agree with that. Daniel Rucker could do it yep if you wanted to who's daniel rucker my buddy uh went to high school smarts oh yeah um general oh these are just some general comments thought that was a guy's name yeah we'll do some of these and the general episode. We've got a five-star general. Golly.

See what he has to say. Sit up straight for this one. Goes by the name Joe Ferraria. Seinfeld was able to do a show about nothing in 22 minutes. I'm wondering if you cut out conversations about Let's Go and emails about how dumb Nate is, and maybe we could see a shorter podcast. Is there a Cliff's Note version of Nate Land in the works?

Joe. Spoken like a true general that doesn't get anything. Yeah, there is a Cliff's Note version in the YouTube. You can literally click to exactly what it is. You know what, Joe? For this one, if you want a CliffsNotes version, we're going to have it. Can we have it just be his name?

And you can click right to it. So, Joe, if you just want to hear your comment, you just go on YouTube, and when you click the info, and you're going to see it all broken down, which has been like that the whole time. We let you skip whatever you want to skip. You want to skip comments? By the way, this is going to be pretty tough when I skip comments been like that the whole time. We let you skip whatever you want to skip. You want to skip comments? By the way, this is going to be pretty tough

when I skip comments. This is the whole episode. But the title is comments. And so if you, we break it down. You can, the Cliff Notes version is go ahead and skip everything. I don't, we don't, I mean, I'm trying to make a podcast where I don't want to force you to listen to anything, even though you're listening to this podcast.

I try to tell you, you can leave, dude. Like, go listen to, go listen to something else. So we're putting his name. He's going to have his own timestamp. He's got his own timestamp. Joe, I don't know why you should be rewarded for this, but I want to make a point. Is that going to be short enough for you, Joe? Click yours and get out.

Let's go. Let's go, folks. It's so crazy. I mean, we have never – our main – that's what our show is about. Look, if this is not your thing, don't listen. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, it's not all of our things. We try to make some fun, have some fun jokes.

Why do they call it Cliff Notes? I looked that up. There was a guy named Cliff who came up with a way for students to just cram for classes. Came up with a way for students to just cram for classes. Yeah. And he just invented this, I don't know what you would call it, but you know what Cliff Notes are? Yeah.

I mean, there's a literal guy named Cliff who came up with the idea. He died a few years ago. Oh, did he get to sell them for money? Yeah. Yeah. Spark Notes was big when I was in high school. Did you ever do Sparknotes? No, I did Cliffnotes.

I always had Cliffnotes. I always called it Cliffnote, but I looked this up. It is Cliff's Notes. Cliff's Notes. So Sparknotes, when we read Shakespeare, they go through and they just have it side by side translated to normal English. Oh. And everyone everyone just read

I don't want to bring my horse out and all the muck. How about Romeo, Romeo, where art thou, Romeo? Like, Romeo, where are you? Yeah. Where did you go?

No, that's actually not what it means. Why are you? Why are you, Romeo? Wherefore means why. So why are you, Romeo? Because my parents namedfore means why so why are you romeo because my parents named me romeo yeah that's what he said why are you in this family that i'm not allowed i misquoted it in fairness oh why are you in this family romeo wherefore art thou romeo why are you a romeo because i'm not allowed to talk to your family so why are you a romeo yeah why is that

your they're questioning like why are you like he's like wait is is that your... They're questioning, like, why are you... Like, he's like, wait, is this too Romeo? Who's this? Is this like a Karen? Is Juliet? Maybe I'm wrong. I thought that that scene was... She's asking, I wish you weren't from this family

that's rivaling mine. Yeah. That's what I thought it meant. What if she broke it down like that? He would have... They wouldn't have both died. Did they die? Yeah. Yeah, they both died at the end. Yeah. yeah well that probably could have been solved maybe because they couldn't understand

they maybe because they're both speaking so ridiculous words that they then go they go do you sure you want to do this that's what they're saying but it's going like i shall thou kill myself and it's like what did you mean i didn't want to do it and he goes i didn't want to do it either why were we not just saying that yeah all right that was fun scott dunstan scott dunstan i worked at a i work at a preschool doing mostly maintenance, but still worked with the kiddos at times. While fixing part of the fence on the playground, a few of the children wanted to watch, and I said, let's go, folks, thinking it was just going to be an inside joke to myself.

But suddenly, a parent picking up overheard and said, hey, Nateland, hello, folks, small world, good stuff, guys. Keep them coming. See, that's what I mean with let's go, folks. Like, there's no blend. Here's what I... We can be ready for the poll. Ooh.

We record a podcast Friday? No, wait. Is that... That won't matter because that's not coming out. But the next one... But we're having a pre-record because I got to go out of town. I'm leaving Monday. Okay. All right.

I think a lot of comments have been, at this point, we don't care. Just stop talking about it. Oh, we don't have to do the poll. No, no, no.

Let's do the poll. Okay. Let's see. It can be three questions. Like, here's what I think. I think it should be, hello, folks. That's this. This, we're in hello, folks.

And if we see each other out in the wild i i think it's whatever you want hello folks or let's go folks i think it's fun to like you can be let's go folks and you scream like that kind of thing like you know it's kind of it's it's it's both of them may is hello folks is the response let's go folks or maybe say i'm a hello folks person i'm a let's go folks person but we're all folks and we all get along so hello folks only let's go folks person, but we're all folks and we all get along. So hello folks only, let's go folks only, or hello folks slash let's go folks. Hello folks,

let's go folks in the wild. Okay. Does people get that? I don't think I get it. Not in here. Like in the, when we're out and about. It's your own choice. Hello folks,

let's go folks. You know, does that make sense? That's basically what it is. I don't know if we have to do a poll all right we could you we don't have to do the point yeah this is there's no reason for the point i think it's hello folks here moving forward we're done you can still in your comments you're all right let's go folks like that's funny like it's a funny they're both funny things but hello folks is how we will greet you how we will start our day in a land uh all right for joe let's read joe's one more time he's making a lot more sense david john this is off topic but aaron land inspired me to lose weight

i'm 5'8 shoe size 12 and a half i 5'8", and weighed 182 pounds when I started intermittent fasting. 10 weeks in, and I'm already down to 170. My goal is to lose a total of 50 pounds. All credit to Notre Dame. Dude's indirectly changing lives one folk at a time. Hey. I'll be honest with you, 5'8", 182, I don't know if you need to lose 50 pounds. It's tough to hear about a weight loss

journey that starts at my dream weight yeah you know what i mean well but if he's but if he's not feeling comfortable and once once feeling five eight uh five eight 132 i mean that's that's this dude wants to be in shape yeah like this dude that's like real shape like you see those ufc fighters i mean they're 150 right one you know and they're like this dude wants to be in shape yeah like this dude that's like real shape like you see those ufc fighters i mean they're 150 right one you know and they're like this dude wants to be in shape so i mean i i get it i'm not like i weigh 180 i weigh his i weigh 182 and then uh uh i i would love to get down to i always say like i want to get down to like 165 i would love to but i mean i hit the 70s i'm always like 181 something like that i fluctuate never weighed over 200 though uh it's my only thing that was close it's knocking on the door around the corner i'd get lumped in with a 200 group if we all had

it they just kind of were just eyeballing it they would have been like obviously obviously you know they would have pulled me in hunter wyatt i have a friend who struggles with words more than nate one time we were at a meeting preparing for a mission trip in germany in the meeting he asked do they have any erotic animals there mingdash they had exotic animals this was one of his many word fails that's a good one to fail on yeah yeah quite a few jason pratt i run a large behavioral health care company and i've started using hello folks for every staff email instead of drawing out fellow nateland enthusiasts like i had hoped i received zero positive feedback and have been actually been spoken to by the board on multiple occasions i'm sure it'll be goodbye folks very soon but i refuse to blink that's so great thank you jason

keep fighting the good fight people don't uh people don't uh they don't like hello folks like in a in a professional it is in a professional setting i guess it's kind of too i i'm trying to see if i think i think i could get it like hello folks yeah they're like what well it's here it's like it's it's in it's the fun joke of it it's hello folks like you know it's everything but in that setting if you're like oh this guy's the worst like you just judge who this guy is but kind of that yeah but then you don't know, it's everything. But in that setting, if you're like, oh, this guy's the worst. Like, you just judge who this guy is, but kind of that. But then you don't know if this guy's actually cooler than you. Might be.

You know, somewhere he's talking to my neighbor Felix. There's a restaurant called My Neighbor Felix, by the way. But we just talked today because he said he got, when he was talking about it, he said he got, because he said he was chubby in junior high, and he got made fun of. He grew up in New Orleans, and he got made fun of. And, you know, their kids were mean to him. And I was like, man, that's crazy.

And he was like, they had no, he grew up with no money. I've met his family. His family's awesome. They grew up, they've all done well for themselves now. They grew up with no money and stuff like that. And then he was like, I went to like a private Catholic school where we got to go for free because we didn't have any money. And I'm like, oh, so you're the poor kid at a rich school

and you're there for free? Like, none of this, like, he didn't tell me why he's getting made fun of. You're like, yeah, dude dude that's why you got crushed but he was saying he was wearing because he would his he'd wear dickie pants and brooks shoes both very popular right now dickie pants are and the brooks shoes i didn't know but dickie pants you are like kind of cool now like aren't they skateboardery kind of pants they're like Walmart yeah

work clothes they're like off-brand car art yes but it's like but you can wear it and it's cool now but it's crazy to think

that like you could like if you if he showed up if you wore Brooke's shoes I guess they're super cool now

and Dickie Pants anywhere to school they'd be like this kid gets it and it's crazy thing and he was he was before his time he was before his time yeah i thought you were kidding about a restaurant being called my neighbor felix this is my neighbor felix mexican kitchen and bar in denver colorado yeah no one's ever seen him. We'll go. Yeah. No one's ever, yeah.

It's good food. All right. We're going to talk about our, is there any that you've? Let's do Doug's here maybe. Yeah. All right. Maybe one more after that. Yeah.

One, Nate Blair. Because that's, there's a Nate Blair. Yeah, we can do that one. Yeah. That's Laura There's a Nate Blair. Yeah, we can do that one. Yeah. That's Laura's maiden name. Oh. Yeah, am I supposed to say that? Your wife's maiden name?

Yeah. I get asked my mom's maiden name for security reasons. Yeah, but... I mean, it might cause problems for Harper down the road. Oh, but I'm good. Yeah, you're fine. I'm fine. Obviously, I'm fine. That's like if you had taken her name when you got married.

Yeah, this is the way it would be. My name would be Nate Blair. It's kind of like looking at an alternative reality. Aaron, have you ever considered voice acting if comedy doesn't work out? Aaron. Sure. I would do it. He can do some great voices.

He can do a couple. He can do voices? Yeah, but not not celebrities just like people like what like people that like if he was doing a character he can do he can do some really deep voices and some yeah you don't want to do one i can do like an impersonation like a server at a comedy club well how does they do it well i don't you don't know who they are but just do a server at a comic club sit there well it's not like a generic. It's a very specific guy. You wouldn't get it at all.

Could you do your friend Citrus? You don't want to. No, I don't want that. I'd do a couple voices, but nothing crazy. Well, I don't know if your voice acting is going to work out. Is that how you're going to start every audition? I could do a couple of them. I would love to hear one.

You're not going to know any of these people, so it doesn't really matter. Oh, okay. Well, this is an audition for voice yeah yeah yeah uh all right so this one yeah that's a good one uh doug harris i worked in the venerable ticket office during my summers at college and worked alongside nate's mom every day carol was one of the nicest people I've ever been around. One day, the ticket office wanted to get lunch at Rio Bravo and volunteered me to go pick it up. When I got back, apparently Muhammad Ali had walked through the lobby of the athletic department. He was making a surprise visit to campus for some reason. He walked right past the ticket office,

stopped to say hello to everyone. So literally the best athlete in the history of the world decided to visit the one spot that I'm stuck at for eight hours a day and decided to do it during the 15 minute window that I decided to leave. When I got back, I was unpacking all of the food. Carol said, oh, hey, you just missed Muhammad Ali. I thought she was talking in code about me to her coworkers-workers, and I looked at her perplexed. She repeated, you just missed Muhammad Ali. He just stopped by and shook everyone's hand. Nice man. Did you happen to pick up any extra tortilla shells? About a month later during lunch, I had this exact same scenario happen again while going to get Nate's mom's lunch. This time it was The Rock. Thanks, Carol.

I brought my own lunch for a year after that, and not one famous person ever walked by. That's very funny. I remember when Muhammad Ali came. Because I was in high school, and then I graduated high school. My mom worked at Vanderbilt. People always ask why I'm a big Vanderbilt fan. We have very ties to Vanderbilt.

Ronnie Bargetze coached at Vanderbilt in the 70s, and then he was the color commentator. That's who you listen to. So my whole life, we had him, and then my mom worked in the ticket office for a while. So we always go to games. That's why I was going to every game.

I mean, I could, but then. So let's read it. I want to see if this is it. Kelly B. Van Leet. That's a very bourgeois name. Van Leet. The Borga George. Kelly B. Vanlly v van leet well does the b stand for borga george there's a school in brentwood specifically for kids with dyslexia curry ingram academy they

have a testing center on campus that typically test kids but maybe nate should give them a call my daughter is a student there i look forward to laughing during nateland every week nate's dad was my middle school math teacher i have great memories of him performing magic tricks at school i like everybody listening this podcast basically just people i grew up with like i was thinking but it is they're all wonderful people uh you know it's funny i've i've i've seen curry ingram academy uh and so yeah i wonder if they will. Maybe I can go there. Just run in there.

Maybe I can run in there. And they just do tests for kids, but I'm sure. I think I have the brain of a child. So I think I'll just be walking in line with all the kids. I don't know what we do. We go and we're coming to the exit or something. Is that what we? How much does that joke got to get made probably gotta be a lot uh steven grimillion's pretty good okay uh last one right and then uh my uncle once

had my aunt steven grimillion my uncle once had my aunt bring home two half gallon tubs of bluebell vanilla ice cream before she left he started eating out of one. He ate the whole thing, then he got into the other one. About a third of the way through, he realized he was going to be in trouble, so he finished the second one and then went to the store and bought two more to replace them. But he knew she wouldn't believe he didn't eat any, so he had to eat another half of one just to make it look convincing. Shout out to Uncle Mike.

Uncle Mike's my kind of guy. That's so funny. He knew he was too far in, so he just had to finish it off, go buy two more, and then dig into that one. Yeah, I mean, he just had to. I get it. Like, you know, I get that logic. Like, you're like, all right, let me go buy more.

And she's going to be like, you didn't eat any of this? And he's got to be like, well, she's going to know. Two Blue Bells. I think I could eat two. Two gallons? Yeah. Well, those were half gallons. People come and you guys are ridiculous.

They're like, did y'all not learn anything from the Krispy Kreme Challenge by what y'all claimed y'all could do? Yeah. Wow. No, I didn't. I learned I shouldn't have done chocolate my buddy doug is my buddy doug is gonna do the uh cripsy cream challenge on his own he thinks he can do yeah he's like he goes you know because it's the same logic everybody starts with where they go

he goes dude because he's like doug's in a very he's doug's who who made the music that plays at the beginning of every episode. And he's very in shape. We golf a lot together. And then he's – so he's like, oh, when I go by Krispy Kreme, he's like – he says he could eat nine without a problem, like easy. But that's what everybody says. And I think everybody thinks they do more. But if you sit there and have to do it, it's like, yeah, I mean, could we eat 13 throughout the day?

Yes. Could you, it's not that you're full. It's the sugar. Yeah. The sugar is too much. It just, it gets to you.

It gets, it's too much. I don't think the sugar got to me. I think, I think it was just the sheer volume of donut. Oh, okay. Sugar got to me.

That was the chocolate. That was all on top of it. But ice cream, I think I could do some overdo ice But ice cream, I think I could do. So maybe we'll do ice cream. I think I could be a problem. Sugar won't get to him with the ice cream. No, I think I could do.

I'd still do chocolate ice cream. I think I can just eat. I think I can just keep eating. I could eat. A gallon? I think it wouldn't even be a problem. I think that too. Yeah.

I don't think it's that much. Yeah. If you get a big spoon think that too yeah i don't think it's that much yeah if you get a big spoon that helps uh a little spoon would get it tiring and annoying but a big one yeah uh speaking of doug so i was good so a couple of my things and we're mentioning what you guys have been up to too just to catch up this is the catch-up portion yeah of the of the podcast uh so i had doug's birthday was just talking we golfed together and uh and tied my lowest round i've ever had wow and we were it was on doug's birthday and we played and uh i was going into 16. I'm two under, 16 to old. Whoa. Two birdies and a rest of pars.

And I'm like, this is about to happen. Yeah. And so then we catch this group. That's the slowest group I've ever seen in my life. And they just were driving. I mean, they were going backwards. They're looking for every ball. Every ball went out of bounds. And we've already been kind of catching them for a while.

But now when you get to 16, you're kind of past the point of passing them. And so it's like I messed up on 16. It was par 3, just hit it in the fringe. I putted off from the fringe to the green. Wasn't a hard thing, but it was faster than I thought. Three putted, bogey, 16. So I'm one under going to 17. 17 and 18 are both par fives.

This is a Vanderbilt South course. And so I play, I bogey 17. Now I'm even. And then I par 18, so I shot even par, 71. I've done that one other time. But I've wanted to be 200. You want to say you shot in the 60s. And I was like, this can happen.

And I was like, if I just pour out, like, I don't have to do anything hero. But it's like, man, when you're waiting on a group and all you're thinking about is like, I'm almost there. If I just don't mess up. They iced you. Oh, it crushed us.

It crushed us. So, but it was fun. That crushed us. But it was fun. That's great. It was a fun thing. Also, I did shows through this jacket. I was with Jeff Foxworthy. I don't know. I'm reading it like I was with – that's his name, Jeff Foxworthy.

Jeffrey Foxworthy? Jeff Foxworthy. And Jeff Foxworthy, we did our shows together. We had the best time. Just such a fun hang. Dude, we did our shows together. We had the best time. Just such a fun hang. Dude, we hung out so much. It was Justin Smith, who I know y'all see a lot on the road with me. Me, Justin, Travis.

I tour manager Travis. You can follow Travis on Instagram. I'll post something. He's starting to post some pictures on his page, like behind the scenes stuff or whatever that's cool uh and then uh and then uh jeff and jeff's uh jeff's buddy and we all like rode together we drove from lincoln nebraska we drove to lincoln nebraska we stayed in omaha and then drove to sioux falls and we're just in the car for a lot long times which is just with comics is the greatest yeah

just talking comedy like uh just it's it's the it's i mean it's the it's the funnest man it's something you wish you could you know i guess you do you know we're kind of recreating it here i guess a little bit it's like this just trying to make jokes and like trying to be fun and like so it's a it's a little bit of it's it's kind just trying to make jokes and like trying to be fun. And like, so it's a, it's a little bit of, it's, it's kind of like this, but it's just, it's just awesome.

And he's like such a great dude. And, uh, we did, uh, two shows and I mean, they were just great shows. Everybody came out.

It was awesome. And it, I mean, it was fun. It was, uh, a ton of fun. I bet he's got some incredible stories.

Yeah. I mean, dude, he's been around. I mean, he's done comedy. I think he said 37, I want to say 37 years. Was it 37? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, something like that, 38 years. It's like 20 years above me. Yeah. And I'm an 18. So it's been around for, he's been around for just so long. And he's done, mean in such a i mean an icon you know yeah like just that name foxworthy is just such a perfect name and it's you just kind of yeah you just know him and i mean he's just a fun fun guy i truly truly had a lot of

fun that's great so it was great was that your first time co-headlining something with him like yeah i mean you look at it like co-headlining but i was i looked at it as also like i'm doing a show with him yeah you know it's like always weird for you like you're like well doing it with fox right it's like kind of still his yeah i we i went first i went last the first night oh really uh but he was because he i mean i was like i'll go first both nights because you usually ask when you co-headline and i think if you're like in the same years or if Oh, really? But he was, because he, I mean, I was like, I'll go first both nights. Because you usually ask when you co-headline. And I think if you're like in the same years or if it's like one of your peers and the fact that you kind of came up together, you would probably just be like, I'll go first.

One night, you go first. Like that's what me and Keith Albertstein would do when we would co-headline in Nashville. And with Foxworthy, I was just like, yeah, I mean, you got to go. Defer to him. Yeah, you're like, you can do whatever you want. He said he kept making fun

because he wants, he'll come do the podcast. And so he kept, him and Justin kept, you know, he was like, I don't know why I can't. Foxworthy was like,

I don't know. You know, Justin, did you get invited to the podcast? We'll have Justin on. We're going to talk about Oklahoma

and then Foxworthy. I wanted, I was like, come, if he wants to, you know, Justin, did you get invited to the podcast? We'll have Justin on. We're going to talk about Oklahoma and then Foxworthy. I was like, if he comes here, I want him to do it. I'd like to do it here. Yeah. So if he comes to Nashville, he'll come by. That'd be awesome. But he's a great hang. Great stories.

Very funny stories. And so I'll probably, yeah, if he comes on we're having to tell some like his you know i don't know some great like comedy stories just like working clubs back in the heyday of comedy and stuff you know 80s and that whole scene so yeah it was fun henry cho told me a story about they shared a condo back in the 80s and it didn't have a door oh really it was so bad it literally did not have a door a front door yeah that's what he said yeah that's crazy how did you yeah i don't know we'll have to ask about that yeah yeah yeah i would love to know that uh and then you guys, y'all did some stuff.

Yeah, do you want to set up how this came about? Yeah. So, well, what do we, do we have that clip? Do you have that clip to play? Yeah, I do. Let me play that just so I can be done. I do have. I also got sent this.

This was very, very, my sister's the one that told me about this. So if you listen to this, you can play. It's on Heart to Heart, Kevin Hart and Jay Leno. Who is Jay Leno's top three? Give me a top three. Top three, come in. Well, I like, you know,

I do like, I do like all the comics. I mean, Seinfeld and I go way back. Yeah, Seinfeld is fun. Amazing. You're terrific. Thank you. I like John Mulaney. He's great. Mulaney's great. Mulaney's great. way back because i felt this made this fun amazing uh you're terrific thank you uh i like john mulaney he's really he's great no lady's great this new guy made for god he's really good

wow yeah top three that's pretty awesome yeah to be named by jay leno yeah so uh it's it's crazy it's uh jay like uh it was very very nice and very cool and uh you know i didn't know i'm not interested in this too yesterday but it's so he but jay i've i've met jay before and then uh jay has called me he called me after this last special uh and was very very nice and just talked and like just saying how much you liked and stuff and that i mean that's like he's hanging out fox with like leno it's like these are the guys that you're like it's crazy to get to see it i mean even like kevin hart i've met kevin hart maybe twice but even like you know him just being like oh yeah i know that yeah you're like i don't know you know you do think that you're like i don't know you know i thought of that look i thought of it like this uh i did think about this this weekend you remember the the uh different the tennis the girl what's the tennis girl that mental health she like checked out for mental health naomi this

is a topical naomi osaka yeah yeah yeah what her name yeah yeah right and then everybody was like i get it you're kind of like then she came then she had a netflix tv show she had all this other stuff and i i get like people being like what are you talking about you're checking out with no health and then i just heard her say something she goes when i did that i didn't think it was going to come as big of a deal as it was and i do kind of get that obviously not on the level that she's where she's known and stuff but i do get for her you she is like i don't know how powerful my what i say is yeah you like you because to that person you don't you only live in your world so you're like i don't know what other people like you know unless you were unless you're like the beatles or something like you

would have no idea that you could be i not in the comparison it just i just i never thought of it that way until i heard her say that and i was like i get that like i get because you could just think you know it's like when you do these when i do shows and you go out and you think you know who are these people here to see because you it's hard for you to think it's you yeah because you're you just know where you come from so you go go, well, I can't make it. Like, I'm not. You always have that in your head. And so you're like, no, this is not going to work out.

You don't ever think, oh, I'm great at this, and I'm going to be, and I'm the best. Like, I can make it because I'm the greatest at this. Now, you could strive. You want to be that. You can do that. But you don't. It's hard to ever take yourself out of like, to even see what your worth would be.

And so I, like when she said that, I actually kind of made sense. I was like, yeah, she's like, I'm just a kid playing tennis. Like I don't, I just said that. I didn't think it was, and it's like, it was on everything that's ever been made. And she could be like, yeah, I didn't know. Cause she, I mean, she says, you guys, I think, yeah, I probably made some mistakes. I've learned. All right. I can't, that's how she learned. I guess I, I didn't know. Because she says, I think, yeah, I probably made some mistakes. I've learned. All right, I can't.

That's how she learned. I guess I can't say just anything. Yeah. Because it's going to get kind of, I didn't know I had that kind of power. Yeah. And I don't know. Especially when you blow up that fast, she was catching up to her fame. Yeah.

Yeah. It just when she said it that way, I don't know, it just struck me where I was like, oh, yeah. Yeah. It's hard for people to think that. Because then at home, you're like, but you're famous. And, you know, and not me, but saying about her, like, you're famous. And you're going to say mental health, like, you know you're famous, you know, you know.

I take a mental break and they go that's good for you no i'm still gonna work i just mentally i'm not there when i'm doing it uh and it shows so you guys uh so greg garcia who we've talked about on this show as well a lot uh is a uh created everybody uh uh my name is my name is earl everybody loves raymond he would like raising hope he created seinfeld keep going raising hope uh everybody hates chris everybody hates chris family guy i believe all in the family i think he's all the voices on family

guy but i could be wrong on that maybe he's just some of the voices uh all in the family he's been around for a long time. Greg Garcia is very – I told you about it. He worked at Burger King, which is very funny. Did I say that? I don't know. I don't have to – he's going to – I'll get him. He drives.

He's someone that just drives across the country. Basically, most of his life is driving across the country. Like his kids are all kind of – some live in other places, and he'll just – I mean, he likes driving. He'll just be like, I'll just drive. And you're like, just take a flight, dude. Just fly and be, you know, regular. And he goes, I am regular.

I'm just going to drive, leave at four in the morning and like have a 15-hour drive. But so Greg has got a new TV show that he's wrote. And he wrote it. And I read it. I read the script when he first wrote it. I mean, Greg's one of the most talented writers I've ever seen. And I've not seen a lot. So there's maybe a bunch more out there.

And Greg could be actually not good at all. And I could be like, wow. Greg's actually. So just be ready that i could come back with this and going guys i'll be honest with you greg not as good as i thought i had no idea what he was doing no idea yeah had not a clue yeah uh so but greg rc is also how i met tony kornheiser which is one of my fondest moments i've had in my career another one where tony came to the show and mentioned it on the show shout out on pti tony's came to the show and mentioned it on PTI. Shouted you out on the show. Shouted on PTI.

Tony's coming to the show when I come to D.C. So, because Greg worked on Tony Kornheiser's show. Oh. And then when he comes on, his career was pretty cool. But, so Greg got a new show. And so he texted me, and then i mean him talk a bunch and then he uh had you guys come out and you guys will be on the new show the new show unless we we get cut yeah unless you get out of it yeah yeah but we were there for uh you were there for three days three days yeah wow i was

there for two days they filmed in p Pittsburgh. The show's called Sprung. Yeah. You play? I play, it's about a guy who gets out of prison. So I play a prison guard. Yeah. At the prison. And Brian plays.

A serial killer. Yeah. Not just a serial killer. I wear a Hannibal Lecter mask. I'm already being typecast. I've never even been in a show. I have the picture. Want me to pull it up?

Yeah, go ahead and pull it up. This is the scene. So Greg just wanted, I wasn't even originally in the scene. Greg was like, we got to get you in this scene next to Brian. Do you have a COVID mask over your Hannibal Lecter thing? No, that's what the mask looks like. You can see a better picture. Like this is me and Brian right here.

That's what Brian's. So he made it look like a sleep apnea machine. It looks like you got a permanent sleep apnea machine on your face. There were a lot of things that were like, is this like a little wink toward the podcast? Oh, yeah. I mean, he had a line where he said, folks. I say, folks.

Yeah. In my line. And then I get there the first day. And on the official call sheet, you get all this paperwork. And on the call sheet, they have Brian named as breakfast on the call sheet. So it's like Aaron Weber of breakfast on there. So it was really, really cool, man. I was so nervous.

He was done shooting before I even got out of bed the first morning. Yeah. Oh, really? I mean, he was back by 9.30. My call time was 5.30 on Monday. Yeah.

And then... Oh, sorry. I was going to say, my scene that I taped was the first scene of the whole show that they filmed. Oh, really?

And my scene, I have like three lines and there's two other lines. So I'm kind of... You're like a prominent player in like a prominent player in that scene and it's the first thing they filmed the whole time i've never been in anything yeah and i remember just being like oh man we're doing this yeah oh my god here we go dude and uh the weird thing about acting you want to pull greg decided to go greg i don't know how to do this oh i almost did yeah yeah because we did it i mean we do it a ton of times yeah and you just have no i was like i have no idea if i'm bombing yeah because

nobody tells you like you don't hear laughs or anything so i just thought they were back there like dude we made a huge mistake bringing this guy out but then i talked to greg afterwards i hope that was okay he goes dude i would have told you it was awful greg's that yeah i would have been like we need to fix it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I felt good about it. That's why Greg's great. It's like Greg on our pilot helped a ton with Danielle Sanchez-Witzel, who show ran our pilot. And she brought Greg in.

It was funny the first time I met Greg. She brings Greg in. I don't really know Greg. I didn't know everything. And I don't look into a lot of things. So Greg, he comes in and tells me stuff. I'm like, this guy, who's this guy? I think he is. know greg i didn't know everything and uh i don't look into a lot of things so like greg like he like comes in like tell me stuff i'm like this guy who's this guy i think he is uh you know he's like giving us he basically rewrote the script and then then you read his script and you're like

it's all pretty great actually like you're like this is actually unbelievable like you i was just seeing that you're i mean i really went in i was like nice to meet you and he's like he's gonna sit in with us i was was like, all right, dude, we'll maybe sit, sit towards the back. If you don't, if you don't mind.

And then he just comes in and he goes, what if we do this all different? And he's, uh, and you're like, okay. And then everything we were trying to do, we had our episodes about spanking and we're like,

we might show the spanking or something, you know, has it ever been shown on TV? He's like, yeah, I did it on, uh, I think raising hope or something. And you're like, he's done everything like where he's done, you know has it ever been shown on tv he's like yeah i did it on uh i think

raising hope or something you're like he's done everything like you're where he's done you know guest book which is on uh streaming uh as well as on tbs uh and uh so but yeah he he's that guy that would in the moment tell you yo this is you know you're right so once yeah once he said that it was i felt a lot better about it. But it was just so nerve-wracking. And I think I was telling Brian this is it's me being naive, but I had no idea what I was walking into. I'd never been on a big TV production before.

So I was overwhelmed by the scale of it. Yeah. It's like a whole college campus there different trailers makeup we had our own trailers you had your own trailer brian and i my inmate larry there yeah inmate larry so there's another shot of the trailers up there yeah you know i'd done smaller stuff that i thought was a large production but obviously nothing compared to what this was i mean the scene i'm in there's like 50 extras in it. Yeah.

And, and there's like a hundred people standing around the crew and everything. And I was like, Oh man, here we go. Like time to play ball. Tell them about the gun. Oh,

which gun? The one that you got in trouble for. Oh, can I say that? I don't know. Maybe. Yeah. Oh yeah.

So I, I had a pistol. Yeah. And, uh, and an extra,? I don't know. Maybe. Yeah. I don't know. Oh, yeah. So I had a pistol. Yeah. And an extra, this dude just walks up. He's like, hey, man, let me get a pic with that gun, bro. Yeah. Because there's a sign in the prison that says no firearms. We're in a real prison.

Yeah. Oh, really? Uh-huh. I mean, an old prison. Yeah. I think it's been closed for like 10 years, they said. Yeah. But this extra walked up to me because there's so much.

That's the other thing I didn't know about. There's 10 years, they said. Yeah. But this extra walked up to me because there's so much. That's the other thing I didn't know about. There's so much just killing time. Yeah. Like standing around and they got to reset the camera. So I'm talking to the extras. And they all had their own backstories of why they were in prison, which was really fun. You know, they're just extras like, yeah, I killed somebody, all that stuff. But this guy was like, let me get a picture of the gun in front of this no firearms sign.

I was like, all right. picture of the gun in front of this no firearm sign i was like all right so i just give it to him and immediately somebody comes over and it's like what are you doing and i go oh dude my bad like yeah you can't just hand out guns even if it's a fake gun yeah like this is a serious problem yeah i was like oh dude my bad so then uh they immediately took it away from me yeah yeah but then they gave then the next day I came back and they gave me this gun. I didn't lose my gun privileges totally, but they got rid of that pistol. They give you one that's like, well, if he's going to kill us, might as well kill us all quick.

Yeah. Who died? Brandon Crowe? Was that famous, the guy that died? It was a real gun. Oh Bruce Lee's son? Yeah Bruce Lee's son. Was it

or was it the movie Crowe? It was the movie the Crowe? Oh he thought it was a prop gun? Yeah yeah and he died. Bruce Lee's son. Wow.

And then so yeah I think they're very like that's still you know just because it's insane. And then there's someone probably in charge of that that's just watching you do it yeah so he was done then i just had to wait so i just got kind of more nervous just waiting

and the first day there i'm in my trailer and just filling out some paperwork or something there's a knock on the door and i come in and it was greg and he was so nice yeah and it just flipped then it put me at at total ease once I talked to him. By day two, I was a diva. I mean, I went coming out of my trailer. Greg, can I talk to you for a second? Greg? My character would not say it like that.

Yeah. Greg, you want to be like, what if I, you think I'd get a hat, no mask? I told the extras, don't look at me. I did. One guy, because I'm in those shackles and that mask, and it's so hot. And he said, I'll take these off of you in between shoots unless you just want to stay in character.

And I was like, I don't even want you to call me Brian while I'm on set. You growled at him. So that scene was so much fun. We had to stop once because Aaron was laughing. I felt so unprofessional. I was the only one that was crap. I mean, it was so funny, the We had to stop once. Cause Aaron was laughing. I was, I felt like so unprofessional. I was the only one that was crap. I mean, it was so funny.

The scene that we were in that I messed up a couple of takes. Then Greg came out. I was like, I don't need to tell you what you did. Right. I was dying laughing. He goes, I'll take it as compliment,

but tighten up. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And I, I was like, Oh, that's good.

Cause I can see Brian. Brian does a physical act out in that scene. I could see in my peripheral vision. I was supposed to just be standing there i was like this is insane and all the actors are so good they're like nailing everything they're not breaking yeah i just felt like what am i doing man and then the next day i had a scene where i had to start the scene which was different than the day before because i didn't know when yeah and they're seeing i'm in my cage and the main character sweeping in front of me and Greg goes action

and I just sit there and after about five seconds cut he's like Brian you when I say action

you go ahead and start talking I was like oh okay okay yeah oh my god Greg didn't know what he was signing up for

and then Greg threw me some lines to say like I memorized my lines over and over and he's like hey how about after we nail those then say this was signing up for and then greg threw me some lines to say like yeah i memorized my lines over and over over he's like hey how about after we nail those then say this and then say this yeah so that was like nerve-wracking to me yeah yeah like oh gosh what did he just say how to say but i think i think i nailed it yeah yeah yeah it's tough i remember when we were uh just when our

thing like they'd come and throw you a joke and you'd have all these lines, you have them all memorized. And it's, when you're actually shooting, you're like, all this can be, go away immediately. You're like, I don't like that line.

It's weird coming out of your mouth. Like whatever it is, like it just doesn't feel right. Or you're like, it's not, you know, it was a very funny line, I thought.

And then you're just, they're like, change it, let's do something. And that's hard. Cause you're like, yo dude, I don't know how to do this. And and i'm and i'm just trying to do it so you had like three lines yeah like we did it the well i had two lines for the show but then that second line he told me to do it three different ways yeah so brian taped a couple different episodes yeah i mean i mean for season one two episodes you're reoccurring yeah my

reoccurring character you're just one and done yeah got in yeah but you're an extra in another one and then i'm an i'm an extra he greg put me as an extra on a brian scenes too so we could be standing there together oh i didn't say anything in those yeah and uh josh he already saw he'd seen enough yeah he goes uh josh wolf another national comics yeah yeah and then greg everybody Yeah, we had things. There's Josh and Joey Diaz. He was in it. Josh played a. An inmate. Yeah, but he did bad things to kids.

Oh. That's what his character did. Oh, God, not Josh. No. That'd be a good name. No. The joke would have been he'd go, well, what's his character do? Josh is like the nicest dude.

But it was so much fun. There's another on the scene. That's what it looks like on the camera. But everyone was so nice, and we had a blast. Yeah. Well, the tone is set. That's what is great.

You know, Greg is that, it's the professional way of like when he comes to you and goes look i i get i take it as a compliment it's a funny scene there's a part in that is like i'm doing i'm glad that you're laughing yeah but then like just to be like but let's tighten it up we we have a we're trying to run a show yeah we're trying to do this and like i so that's what he brings is like uh you know, like I'm sure if it gets crazy, then it gets crazy. But it's like, I mean, the tone of him is how all of this gets done. Yeah.

And then how, what they get out of everybody to let everybody know. Because he's got to let everybody be like, no, man, you can do it. You're great at this, dude. This is, you know, it's like that kind of stuff. Yeah. That's awesome, man. He was, there's Aaron in the zone right there. Yeah. Oh, man. We weren Aaron in the zone right there. Yeah.

Oh, man. We weren't intermittent fasting then, were we? That was within my feeding window, right? Yeah. This was your feed. Aaron was on point. He had his A game going. It's me at craft services.

No, Greg was so nice. I think he has hundreds of people and so many. And then to take time for us he was just great I mean yeah it was it was awesome man so thank you Greg for letting us be a part of it

yeah we will keep all of you updated when that comes out we'll let you know so we can all watch the show yeah can't wait to see it yeah me too

it was the scene was so funny and the script was funny I mean I think it would be great yeah it's great and we were on idea uh the first three days of the shoot of 51 days they said yeah so they're gonna be

there a while yeah he uh yeah when he sent me the script i saw it before he very early and it was like oh you're gonna sell this like this is it was such a good idea and it was the script was so good uh and then i mean look it's crazy to see like he i mean it was like uh right when kind of covid started and then like he's already filming yeah it's crazy yeah yeah pretty well that's fun uh all right we're about to be done you and then you taped uh howie mandel's comedy howie mandel all-star stand-up spectacular it's gonna be on the cw hmm i don't know when it comes out yeah but the lineup was like crazy it's what it's like this i was like i don't can't believe i'm here yeah it's like ryan hamilton natasha leggero pat and oswald all these guys on it and then just me

That's where it's all about. I would always say that about some of the times in the comedy. The New York comedy scene, what was so great about it is you'd be like,

and maybe it could be just the beginning of your career, but you just would talk about your jokes. You'd be like, you got anything going? You're like, I got a couple new jokes, but that's about it. And it only meant jokes, and you were just like, I need some new stuff. I feel like I'm only meant jokes and you were just like i need some new stuff i feel like i'm doing only doing old stuff and uh and you get to la and it's all like what do you got going on you know someone's like well i'm writing this tv show i'm writing it like it's all this kind of like job stuff and i remember you're like that's no fun like that's not you know it was fun just to

Our hotel room, he had the handicap room, which I'm like, did Greg do that too? Everything I wondered, like, was Greg behind this? Yeah.
