Hello folks, welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Bargetzi, Aaron Weber, Brian Bates are both dead. That's how people know that we had to record this one. You know, had to pre-record it. Otherwise. You're in a pretty good mood to start out that podcast. You're in a pretty good mood to start now. Well, who knows? Y'all both might be dead by the time this comes out. So maybe this is a farewell.

Farewell episode. Farewell episode. Farewell episode. Brian and the squirrels finally came to – squirrels got them. Yep. And then gout was – Spread. Spread.

It was after your baseball throw throw and that's when you go felt weird off the mound yeah you never have pushed off in that direction right and so when you push off

the mound you were like I felt something I felt a sensation you feel does gout sensation does gout

have you have a sensation pain probably is it like your foot feels dead? No, it just hurts real bad. Like it's just sore. And I don't even think I really have gout,

so I don't know if I know exactly how I feel. Don't ruin it for everybody. Everybody wants you to have gout. I don't think I'm really old. I just think people misconstrued that. That one's tougher to hide. Don't be ridiculous. I think think people misconstrued that. That one's tougher to hide. Yeah. Don't be ridiculous.

I think I have a full head of hair. What's the matter with you? Jerry, what's the matter with you? Hey, Firestorm's good. My buddy Jerry's seen it. Firestorm's good. He'll talk to you. What's the matter with you?

Firestorm. Such a good name. All right. This week, since we did, we got some comments to start it off. Some general, very general comments. Peter Sneddon. I love how the chat between you all is clean but still brutal. I'm a Scottish police officer and like comics, we are ruthless to each other, so your humor is right up my street.

Yeah. I see. I like that, too, because it is it's all it is is like being that's the the best idea about being clean too is you can be clean and it doesn't have to have this stigma on it you know it's like yeah dude you're just not cursing right it's not just all dad jokes and stuff like that yeah that's sometimes what people kind of think and you're like no no it's just i just don't curse like you know uh but yeah cops i'd imagine i mean scottish police officer they're not allowed to have guns right what do they have batons do they is that true i mean i think we're the only country

where the police are as armed as really i mean yeah no they have to have something look they got people that can come in but like so you don't just do scottish police have gun the thing that were you just thought you're gonna eyeball it you just figured you got a magic book there that answers every question and you kind of vaguely dive into it. Most police officers in Scotland don't carry guns. There you go. How do they do it? Well, then you have to read. And make them listen to the Nate Lane episode.

They're ruthless to each other. Yeah, they're ruthless to you. Just sitting back. John Goad. This week at work, a guy walked past me and a buddy on the way in. He got a little ways away, turned around and said, Hello, folks. Remembering the secret greeting of the folks, I probably yelled back,

Let's go, folks. He kind of laughed and kept walking. I asked him later how long he's been listening to Nate Land. He looked at me blankly and said, What's that? He's never heard the podcast, and he clarified that he said slow pokes at least it was a fun story cue of the good work that's funny slow pose uh that's funny that's but that is to see let's go folks he got it he got it he gets it nick mobley i personally enjoy when you guys deep dive into the mechanics and process of stand-up.

When creating a title for a special or a tour, do most comics try to connect the title to their content or theme for that show? Well, this one, The Greatest Half of the American, came out. Then we talked about it on here. And so that title, The Greatest Half of the American, which is something I've always said and then i just talked about it here and then when netflix when you're kind of thinking of a title they are trying to think i look yeah if you're if you're bill burr and you're you know and you're the top

comic working i mean if i wanted to fight if i, hey, I want this title to be whatever it is, I could probably fight for the title. But you talk to Netflix, too. They look at it as an algorithm kind of thing. So you're trying to come up with a title that the Tennessee kid was like, all right, you would get with that before you click it. Because they're betting not everybody's going to know who I am versus Bill Burr, you're probably there because you're a Bill Burr fan.

Yeah. And so his title can be kind of whatever it wants because it's like, you know, we're basically just lucky to have him put this special out with us. And for me, they kind of go, like, like look if i've raised a fit about it i was like no the title has to be like if i went crazy i'm sure they would be like okay but i've go into it a little more like well i'm going to listen to them and they look at it as like the tennessee kid is like before they click it you go oh i get what this is the greatest average american is i think the best title that's like you won that you might be like oh what is this like uh you know let me see this

yeah i used to always think it had to be something from the show a joke but that's not the case no a lot of times there was times i think people do that and i think a lot of people would do that and i thought when i first started i would do it when i did full-time magic or yelled out by a clown those were both something in the thing but i felt like those titles would kind of work uh so sometimes you are getting to the joke and it's like oh that's why it's called this and the thing is kind of disconnected you don't know why maybe you're going to see why they called it that yeah but the way we've been going with this now with netflix it's kind of like it's just kind of like what's that word encapsulates is that it yeah uh just like the person you're watching like you know

i'm a kid from i'm tennessee kid i'm just from tennessee and you're like okay and then you watch it you're like yeah yeah yeah that guy's from tennessee yeah and like you're like, okay. And then you watch it and you're like, yeah. Yeah, that guy's from Tennessee. Yeah. And like you're, you know, and so it's like that kind of thing. What's the next step? You go from Tennessee to America. Oh, yeah. Are you the world's best comedian? I might be.

I might be. Might be Pluto's number three comedian on Pluto. Was it Jim Gaffigan had one of his Mr. Universe? He was Mr. Universe. Yeah. Yeah.

That's a good title. Yeah. You just got to, it just comes. Like, it just ends up, The Greatest Average American is, I was very happy with that one. But, you know, my tour,

like, my tour, I can do whatever I want. So, the tour was called Good Problem to Have Tour, which was, I always try, I try to have a joke about that but i never did uh i never could maybe i will one day but uh it's a they didn't try to mess with it i can't figure out how to do it hasn't clicked yet uh and then so and then this

tour that's uh out now that i'm doing now, the Raincheck tour, and that was just – it was like – and then the poster is very cool. It's a windshield wiper. People see it. But the Raincheck tour was just because like we got a lot of new dates, but a lot of these dates are rescheduled COVID dates. And so it's kind of like it's just a play on that. But, yeah. Noah O.

No last name. My girlfriend went into labor and on the way to the hospital, she couldn't stand the sound of her own agonizing groans, so she told me to put on some background noise. I came to YouTube and clicked on the first podcast in my Watch Later playlist, and after 20 minutes of watching Nate land, she asked me, what are they even talking about? The only response I could think of in the moment was, well, I mean,

nothing really. Needless to say, she looked confused and went back to groaning and dealing with the pain. And I went back to listening to the best podcast about nothing. Thanks for the mini laughs guys. Welcome your child to the earth. Yeah. Congrats.

I love that he went back to listening to yeah she doesn't get it you know stepping out finishing this episode goodbye folk goodbye folk yeah he goes down he goes uh so my ex-girlfriend my baby mama and you're like oh what happened and he should have said at the end of it so my baby mama went back to groaning because we broke up. And this lady I was in the room with was having a baby. We were just talking about this weekend. Laura's step-sister, Jenny, with her son, Dalton. He's in a band.

He plays in the band at high school. And so one day they went back to their band camp, and their band teacher started playing my special. And so he was like, are y'all doing this as a joke or something? And they were like, no, they didn't know. And so the guy didn't know that, like, I mean, that's my nephew. So Dalton, so we took a picture yesterday to show him that it was real but i was in i was told dalton this is the version i told dalton i'm gonna come to

his class i was like i'll tell everybody how i'm how we became family because i was with i was when dalton was born he's 16 now yeah and uh i we walked in his mom was like they're about to give birth i'm dating laura like we're not married and i don't know i go in the room i thought we were like oh they had the baby we go in the room i don't like i'm not even in this family yet and then i walk in you're like oh she's about to have the baby man and so i'm like i don't think i'm supposed to be and i just like remember just like kind of hitting the wall and just kind of being like trying to get out of the curtain i was like this is i'm not supposed to be just in this like why am i in here like i just was following people

along like the line like you just follow the line oh we go in here now do you have scrubs on or like the thing on yeah no no i was just like like me just like a regular guy walking in jeans with shorts underneath yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, at that time, I did. Rubber bands on my hand, and I think, oh, that guy's got gloves on. I go, no, they're rubber bands. And then I just sit there and – Stayed?

Did you just go do this? Yeah. Did you have to look? I was like, oh, yeah, we're already – okay. Like, you know, everybody was in and out of there. Hey, the Vandy game's on. Would you mind? Yeah. You guys are are you're not watching tv right you're not paying attention to it at least you don't care what's on put it on mute yeah so so dalton's uh band director i was there

before he came out i've been there since he his whole life uh tyler brown i just got back from a road trip with my wife and four kids where we drove from california to north carolina and back good night listen to nate barf burp and chumlee from pond stars i don't know who that is i don't know uh well i don't think it's gonna be good was the best way to pass the time that we could have asked for. It was the only thing we listened to that the whole family agreed on. My question is this. Do I continue listening every week or do I bank up the episodes for the next year and we make the same 74-hour drive?

What a – y'all got to be – that's very funny. He nailed it. He's in hospital. He's lost weight too. He's in hospital. He's lost weight, too? He's lost a bunch of weight, man. Oh, that's good. Good for him.

He was real big for a while. What are you in for, gout? Yeah, me too. What a drive. Oh, he actually looks like a drive. That's a fun drive. Wife and four kids. Poof. Wow.

I mean, that's a strong family. Yeah, I'd say listen now and then you might want to listen again. Yeah. Well, I mean,

they would be, I mean, you could, I mean, bank them up. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

to do that, so you can have a 74-hour drive. Do they just go there and touch and then get in the car and go back? Can you imagine getting to North Carolina and then you drive. Do they just go there and touch and then get in the car and go back? Can you imagine getting to North Carolina and then you go,

we got to do that again? It's going to be two. Once the kids get, once they're like can fly alone, they're going to be like, Dad, can you just buy us a ticket back? I'll do half the drive with you. He's like, no, we got to do it together. 74 hours. You'll appreciate America.

That's a story you can just see his kids later in life being like yeah how was it growing up you're like my dad made us drive every year we drove across the country and back we had to listen people are going to be like what listen this podcast nonsense nateland podcast i don't know what it's called he's not even on it anymore and then still i'm gone. I died actually. Just me and Aaron. Just you and Aaron. His chair's empty. You remember in Wayne's World

when Wayne quit right before they came back and then did you ever see the Wayne's World movie? I did not. Oh. Did you?

All right. Never mind. We'll move on. It's been a while. Well, Wayne quits right before they come back from break. He gets in there. He still didn't carve.

Dana Carvey, who never says anything, has to host the show. Yeah. And he's just very nervous. It would be like if you left all of a sudden. I think I've seen that scene. Then me and Aaron just have to carry it. We just look at each other. What's going on?

I say that Kramer and Merv Griffin. Yeah. You know when I buy the cereal from the bottom and put it in the box? I can't tell you the difference. He goes, this show's really hit rock bottom. Officially hit rock bottom. Yeah. It's like wax beans or something.

No, does he say wax beans? Yeah, I think it's that instead of cereal. Yeah. He goes, I ripped the label off. I can't tell the difference. I think this show's hit rock bottom. He goes, you ever think about a co-host? I'm pretending I didn't hear that. Yanks that cord. That pops it in the difference. This show's hit rock bottom. We ever think about a co-host? I'm pretending I didn't hear that.

He yanks that cord. That pops him in the mouth. Yep. And he actually, you see him like, it cuts him. He rips his cord. When he pulls, Kramer pulls the cord out, the cord, it's the Merv Griffin episode, great episode. And it pops and hits him in the lip.

And I think I've watched him talk about it. Like, I mean, it like busted his lip. It got him for real. It got him. You see him like go, but he just plows through. He did that on the episode, I think it's the mall garage, whatever it's called, where they came in the car. And he's putting the air conditioner.

Oh, yeah. And he pops him there too. Yeah, I remember that. He pops, he, you know. Well, that's when they all sit and they start starting the car and the car won't start. They all start laughing. Yeah.

And so if you see it, you see them all turn away from the camera because they're all like. That wasn't supposed to happen. I don't think so. I don't think it was. I mean, I think it was supposed to start. Yeah. And then it was.

And so he wanted to carry the full weight. They were like, just carry a box around. And he goes, no, I want to carry the actual weight of the thing because it's funnier. Someone said that. I hope they got the Brown family through Pennsylvania. Maybe that got them through Rhode Island. They just blast them through Rhode Island. They just blasted through Rhode Island.

Now they're like, right out of Rhode Island. Oh, no. I was going to say, we commented about how we have so many Seinfeld comments. A couple people said Tuesdays with Stories with Joe List and Mark Norman. They have a ton. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, they're both. They're both.

We always would talk about Seinfeld together. And so we'd always text about it. Me, Joe, and Norman could just – we would text just like one line of Seinfeld. I mean, I've talked about Seinfeld with Joe and Mark more than probably anybody. Who's another? Salvacano. Big Seinfeld guy. Big Seinfeld guy.

We could just talk. We could talk about it all day. We love it. Jen S. Brake. I was watching this night show a few years ago when you were on there. I thought, wow. We could talk about it all day. We love it. Jen S. Brake. I was watching this night show a few years ago when you were on there. I thought, wow, he has the same last name as my eighth grade homeroom teacher at Cooper Town Elementary School. When you start talking about working at Opryland in Tennessee,

I thought, he kind of looks like my eighth grade teacher. I paused my TV, went and dug out my yearbook. Sure enough, there you were in Miss Wilson's third grade class. Look at that. How about that? Coopertown. I went there, I think, second and third grade or third and fourth grade. Who was this teacher, your dad?

My dad taught there. So my dad taught there for a while. And so she was going there when i was in third grade i only went two grades to cooper town uh but uh my dad taught there for a long time my dad they could paddle that was back when they could paddle my dad paddled he because i always thought the kids no one wanted to get paddled by my dad and i just always thought i live with this guy like yeah like it was just i'd never understood it i'm like you don't want to get paddled like in my head i'm like yeah these grown kids don't want i have to live there this was paddling was a-okay at that point i mean you could he had a you know kids would sign it it's a big wood paddle

i mean it's so crazy did your dad ever do that different times it's cool you would think we grew up in the 40s yeah which in cooper town was like farther out there was kids at cooper town they missed school for like tobacco season like they all lived on a lot of them living on farms and like so they had to work and uh and uh i remember they there was robertson county robertson county yeah and uh we drove that whole drive the drive out there those were like my i feel like i learned everything like everything every grown every grown-up dad conversation that has to happen with your son was all because we had a 45 minute drive yeah and it all happened on that uh-huh was like

every everything got pulled back where you're like birds and the bees yeah everything and then just like and i just remember just being you know like i don't want to take this drive every day of my life um yeah cooper town's a great school uh great name too coopertown hall of fame bridget hate i never thought i would be saying this but i'm pretty sure your podcast may have helped me get into medical school i recently took the mcat medical college admission test i'm the only one that needs to know that probably and one of the passages was about the philosopher zeno and his paradoxes. I automatically remembered Aaron's description of this philosopher during the philosophy

episode and was able to skim through this passage and answer the questions quickly. I know all the folks joke about how this podcast is about nothing, but I'm truly thankful for Aaron and Nate's discussion and how it helped me on my exam. Also, shout out to Breadbox for his research, too.

Look at that. Thank you, you bridget way to go uh that's something what if she's just the worst doctor yeah it's just when i go to her no but that's great that you know that would be the paradox yeah so you know it's paradox if you go to uh yeah if you go into the doctor and uh bridget and if your doctor walks in and goes let's go folks and you go i'm gonna do you mind if we have someone else come in the room with us just a little backup that's the real deal i don't remember that conference i would not if i had well i would never be in a position to have that test that's the that's where my smarts could take the test you could take the test i but i wouldn't

because i'm not going to be i don't even remember these conversations i don't and i talk about them but i i would not like i my smartness is I never put myself in a position. Where you need to. Where you need to. Is there a paradox in particular that she's referencing? We did a couple of Xenos. Was that the table? No.

Okay. That's not a paradox? Is that the half a distance, half a distance, half a distance? Yeah, that's one of Xenos' paradoxes. Yeah, for sure. And then then something about salt a couple other got destroyed right away but yeah we did a few yeah drop it a grain of salt oh yeah grain of rice on the ground yeah all that okay i remember good stuff okay chuck rust nate should raise money for dyslexia by sponsoring a nate bargetti k5 race that's funny That's funny.

That's funny. Yeah. Should be 5K. I'm joking. What if I didn't get the joke? K5 race, I'm like, that makes sense. It's funny. The joke would have been funnier if it said 5K.

Chuck, I think you're the comedy to the professionals. Abe Callard professionals Abe Callard Abe Callard this feels like another Callard boys the Callard family the Blanchards I feel like they would have had problems

the Callards are menace to this town the Callards and the Blanchards and then high school they all got sent to the same school. Right. And then it was like, so they had to have a truce. Oh, they had to? They had to.

I just imagine chaos in the hallways. The beginning of it was chaos, the Blanchards and the Cowards. But then they had to have a truce, and then the truce was they both did chaos to everybody. So it's all chaos, but they just did it together. Like the Blanchard would, you know, the Blanchard gets behind him on the ground, and the Callard pushes the guy over. Tabletops him.

Yeah. Come at Abe. Like stepbrothers? Yeah. I was recently driving through Italy. Casual drive. Casual drive and stopped for lunch in a small town called bargeza i was wondering is this the bargetti ancestral hometown and if so have you ever

gone back to connect with your roots uh i don't know i mean i think we're in northern italy uh like border like i think sw right, is on top of Italy. I thought you were 0% Italian. That's when I did the 23andMe. That's what they said. But again, my cousin Ronnie, he says that's ridiculous. And so I go with him. What do they know?

I was thinking about Frank Costanza when he went to sicily and they said that's my cousin he's like he's just he's kind of known as a village idiot or something like that like you got a you got a guy there who's just like you but yeah he's just kind of the town idiot yeah this is frank i got n he goes, ah. He's dyslexic. It's, yeah, we were northern. I need to,

I would love to look into our family. There's some of it. But I think we were northern Italy and switched the border. Barraghese, Italy? See where that's at? Yeah. Yeah, that'd be crazy.

What if I have a town? That'd be pretty fun. I don't think we ever had the name barragasa you're just huge we had there yeah like they're like he's he found us or they don't want me to find them and that's why they changed it just enough oh it's beautiful zoom out and see where it's at. Little small town, Barragasa. Right between Florence and... Bologna. Golly. I bet you're... That makes sense.

Is that where they made bolognese pasta? Is it from that town? Oh, that would make sense, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it? I didn't know bolognese was a town. Does it come from Bologna? That would make sense. Yeah, typical of the city of Bologna.

Wow. Why do you spell Bologna? They don't do... There's a fried bologna, Tennessee. You can go there. What county is that in, Brian? What county is that in? Mustard County. you can go there what county is that in right mustard county uh it's pretty good fried bologna is unbelievable i had one the other day with jeff foxworthy

from where like a nice one uh they had it yeah i don't know no no they had me like gas stations yeah dude fried bolog rolling is so good. Bargazer. Barragazer. We're looking to it. Blake McLaughlin. Hello, folks. Just curious.

Has Nate ever opened for Brentwood? He's calling me Brentwood. I was at the show when he got his CD taped at Zanies, but I did not know Nate at the time. I remember someone dry opening for him, and now I have convinced myself it was Nate. Just wanted to be able to say i saw him when he was an open an opener without lying uh did i could do your cd yeah yeah you did it wasn't me that's funny because i don't think i know blake but i i feel like i knew everybody

there i thought everybody there was my family. He had a fellow folk before his time. Yeah, pre-folk. Yeah. Yeah. He did. He saw me be open. Yep. Yep. Not yet, folks.

For Brentwood. Mm-hmm. Joel Abram. I feel like I know Joel. I find it really endearing that Nate and Aaron continue to ask follow-up questions, and Bob Slater continues to perfectly, comfortably replying, I don't know. No desire to read anything past the first sentence of the google search bobcat is like the first part of snopes or someone makes up a client makes a claim but then you have to pay to figure out if it is true or just

something you uncle your uncle made up that's fair yeah you know i don't know there you go that'd be a good it's a great question mary arm burster bruster arm bruster mary arm bruster what if she married into that name so i was friends with a sean arm brewster arm brewster spelled the same way in college so you probably this i mean they gotta be related sister might be might be i don't know i think it's actually a more common name than armbrusters i think it is more common than you'd like uh i think me i think that was the meanest thing i've ever heard you say the armbruster family i don't mean their family's bigger than i would like it to be i mean it's a more common no that's what i mean then you you're making fun of their name though the arm roosters arm roosters could be i mean one of them went to notre dame yeah okay sorry how are you making fun of their name

he said it's more common than he likes oh so he's saying he doesn't like the name arm rooster and he wish it wasn't around as much as it is. I meant it's more common than you'd think. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Which is a much nicer way than saying like. You're right. You're right.

Should have sat on that for a minute. Mary Armbruster. No. I'm seeing Nate's show in Columbus at the end of October, and this is my official plea for Aaron and Brian to join him. You might not want Aaron. The next day is the Ohio State versus Penn State football game, and I'd love to take you guys. Look at that, dude.

Guess who she's not taking now? Yeah, but guess who's on that show? You are. Yeah. You are on the show. So are you, right, Brian? Yep. Yeah, we're doing it.

And I'm going to the Penn State football game. With the Armbruster family? Well, with Mary, at. And I'm going to the Penn State football game. With the Armbruster family? Well, with Mary at least. I respect that name. Where is, yeah, I'm down. It's in Columbus. Do we have something the next day? As long as I don't have something the next day is the only thing.

If there's another show. I think that's the end of the weekend. Yeah, that'd be great. Yeah, Ohio State, Penn State. I'd that's the end of the weekend. Yeah. That'd be great. Yeah. Ohio State, Penn State. I'd love to go to that. See a Ohio State game? Oh, yeah.

James Franklin. We can call James Franklin. Do you know him? I've done shows for them. Yeah. I would know. We saw each other. I don't know him. I don't text him or something.

I think we went to his last game, that bowl game in Birmingham. And didn't he like come up and hug you or shake your hand or something? Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah. I mean, I've had him. I told Derek Mason I love him. Then I got Clark Lee.

I'll tell him I love him too. I already love him now. I can't wait to tell him Sammy Park and Kate Bosley Bosley oh

my friend and I are planning on being Nate for Halloween do you have any recommendations on how to dress we have been

thinking about it since your Reno show well I like that uh rubber bands I mean it depends on what you want to do you want to go old school Nate yeah I mean this is Well, I like that. Rubber bands? I mean, it depends on what you want to do. You want to go old school, Nate?

Yeah. I mean, this is very flattering. I don't know if y'all would be the only people in America doing this, which is a good thing to be original. Sammy and Kate. I think you got to decide if you want to go old school. If you both do it, you might want to do old school and then now. Old Elvis and young Elvis.

Old, yeah. Yeah. And so, I mean, obviously if you see on my Instagram. I think that's the look you need to go for. Yeah. Youth pastor. Yeah. A bit of a look.

Yeah. And then, so I would think, yeah, and then you got to go, you know, the where we're at now, which is good because two different looks. Some Vandy gear. Which is perfect. Some Vandy gear. Yeah. Yeah.

Someone is going to get to dress awesome and someone's not. So that's what the problem is going to be. Yeah. It's like you got to go through, because I mean, someone's got to really blow it up for this. You know? Uh-huh. Shave their head.

Yeah. Who's it going to be, Sammy or Kate? Sammy. Kate, how committed are you to this? Yeah. That's a good look. That's awesome. awesome i mean i would love to see it uh if you yeah take a picture yeah uh we'd love to we'd love to see it see how it played out uh all right uh that's it for the comments this week talking about game shows game shows what's your favorite game show family feud oh yeah it's a quick yeah it's a good one i've been thinking about that for a while right uh

i think about it quite well it's on the most i think steve harvey's the best host of any game show ever yeah i think he's so good he's so good that the show became personality driven when he took over. Yeah. The last two guys are fine. It was the John O'Hurley, Seinfeld. Yeah. He's just good. But Steve Harvey's so funny that the show changed.

It's just a good time. Well, who was the first one? One of them died. Well, Richard Dawson was a longtime host back in my day. He died. Yeah. I know his son i believe is a comedian really uh yeah so he um no not him he hosted at one point yeah yeah albori louis

anderson hosted look at richard dawson this comedian son or richard dawkins no i'm kidding uh was it yeah he's a Yeah, he would kiss everybody. Yeah, he... Type in comedian. Like, someone's a gang. I'm blanking. They said he kissed somewhere in the vicinity of 20,000 women. That's not...

20,000 women he kissed? 20,000 women during his run hosting Family Feud. 20,000? he kissed? 20,000 women during his run hosting Family Feud. 20,000? Yeah. Wow. He explained that he reached out to grab, how it started, there was a nervous contestant. He reached out to grab her shaking hand and kissed her on the cheek for good luck.

She immediately relaxed and was able to provide the correct answer. So he started doing it to all the women to help them relax. Oh, my God. They recently tried to cancel him but then they found out he died in 2012. Oh, they still came

after him after? Yeah. Yeah. They don't want those episodes airing like on the Game Show Network or anything. Yeah.

But they did. I feel like back then that's just what happened. They did, even the executive producer they said did a, like a poll, probably like our polls

or whatever and more audience members said they like it. I mean, yeah, people who watch the show. Yeah. I mean, back then, I think it was. It is pretty crazy. He's just kissing all these women on the lips right next to their husband. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, look, I mean, for the times now, it's insane. But you got to, I mean. At this point, these games... Family Feud is a famous show, but back then, you have to realize... I feel like this show was like... There's not much on TV. This show is huge. I watched this with my grandparents.

Do you remember him kissing everybody? Oh, I did. My grandfather thought it was so funny. Yeah. My grandmother was repulsed by it. That's insane. Yeah. I would kiss every woman on the show.

20,000. Yeah. It's crazy. Did you have a favorite game show? I always liked No no whammy oh what's that uh pressure luck pressure pressure luck press your luck no whammy no whammy no whammy stop oh i didn't know what that was a reference to i've heard that so that had was one of the most that guy right there right there he's one of the most controversial. He figured out the pattern.

When VCR started, he started recording all the episodes. Yeah. And do you know what Press Your Luck is? No. How does this game work? I forgot how you get to the number of presses. Maybe you have to answer some questions. But then once it starts, it's just a board blinks.

If you land on a whammy, you lose all your money. This guy looks like he cheated for sure. He learned the pattern. He figured it out and he like got the code and they couldn't stop him. And he just kept going and kept going.

They had to like keep going to another episode. They've never had to do that. And I mean, he could have gone on forever because he just knew what to do. He just figured out the game. He won over $100,000.

And this is the 1980s. He over a hundred thousand dollars um if you look him up on youtube um i mean he just keeps going would they be able to show it on youtube oh yeah i don't know about that i watched it it's so funny because he just doesn't stop going yeah and the executive producer's like something is up because this guy he doesn't even wait to see like he's yelling yes as soon as he hits the button because he just knew yeah he just had to figure it out so he broke it like they had to change the whole thing they had to do it where it synced differently yeah it's 330 000 in today's money by the way did they give him the money yeah they gave him to him because he didn't cheat. He just figured it out.

He was just too smart for it. I wonder, did you get mad? You've got to be like, oh, I would think, A, that's got to be good for your game show. It's because that's all anybody's going to talk about. Yeah. Unless people think it's rigged, and then they're like, whatever. And then you just say what you did, all right? Then we've got to fix it where it's not.

and then they're like, whatever. And then you just say what you did, right? Then we got to fix it where it's not. It's like, and the only time people talk about Jeopardy a lot is when there's somebody on a run or a streak, somebody dominating. So they just had to keep going. Did he finally lose or they just stopped? No, he finally stopped. I guess you can pass your presses to someone else and make them go and then you know because

they could tell that on a whammy but he finally just started he went 110 000 and you can't come back you could have went up to 25 000 and then you're done and he went 110 000 on one try so yeah and so he just and so he why didn't he just keep going to like get a two million? I don't know. I think he could have. I think he maybe just finally felt like he had pressed his luck and just finally stopped. Yeah, like he's like they're going to figure it out.

And I guess he could have pressed wrong and messed up and eventually landed on a whammy. It's so cheesy. I watched that whole episode. I mean, game shows are cheesy cheesy now but in the 80s the guy next to him's a pastor from north carolina or something he's like looks like ned flanders and i mean they are so cheesy but uh he lost all his money he like invested in some bad stuff and i think he died penniless but yeah he pressed his luck he uh that's crazy that like to be that smart to figure it out

and then and then you just like yeah and then you're like you go and end up and it looks like he borrowed that suit yeah yeah yeah Yeah. Yeah. In a tie. Somebody commented that you say on your album, Family Feud's your favorite show, but on the podcast you say West Wing is, and they say you're lying about one of them. Yeah, I lie all the time. Well, which one is it?

West Wing's a better show, but Family Feud is. I would think they're two different things. Yeah, they're in two different worlds in my head. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, one is a serious show. The other is just... Yeah. Fun garbage television.

When you ask audience members if they've ever been on Family Feud, has anybody ever said yes? Met a couple. Yeah? A whole family? Met a couple different families, yeah, that went on.

And a bunch of people were like, we auditioned and didn't get it. Because I've been asking people that. I just want to know how you... It's what I always always ask is how did you decide who to bring yeah because you only get to bring a few people is it five i think so i think it's five total right yeah five total so you get it and you pick the four that you audition with like who would you bring uh does it can be anyone in your family in your family yeah daniel rooker's out yeah felix is out felix is out ryan's out ryan's out uh but it's usually your spouse and your

closest sometimes it's a weird mix it's like cousins like you have just a some you know a rocket scientist in your family you're gonna get him you get him in there. I'd probably go, I'd dive deep to be like in my family. My family would be probably very funny on it. Yeah. So like you almost just for the TV aspect of it is like having my dad, you know, just having my immediate family, like my dad, my brother, my sister, my mom, yeah and me i think would be it would just be a lot of dead gum it call each other idiots yeah you're not doing good answer

good answer you idiot dad gum it how did you not know he argued amongst yourself my family would be mad that i'm the one that got the offer to be on it and so i get to choose they go they go all right well who are we going to choose i go no no i i have to be there and they're like oh uh you maybe go maybe you think like all right who could in my family like you just had to pick someone that's like super smart i've heard people argue me for family feud you don't necessarily want somebody who's the smartest in your family yeah because the object of the game is to guess what ordinary people would pick which by definition you would be the perfect yeah oh contest contest so me and my

sister play a game me and my sister think a lot what was the i forget the game uh where it was something where you say uh i i can't remember you name you name something and then you you you say uh god what was like cereal and then you go we're three two one and if you say the same word this is a game you guys yeah no i think it's a game that it's you know some game okay and then you'd be like if you both go frosted flakes uh-huh like you know or it's like fruit so on one two three let's say what we think of fruit one two three pineapple y'all both said pineapple that's weird i said banana his banana banana is a fruit yeah it's a fruit yeah uh i don't know why i'll say pineapple was a weird what kind of it's not that weird man huh it's like common fruit that's i think an apple would be yeah

then why didn't you say apple well banana is right next to apple the apple and banana and family feud banana apple orange are probably top three i don't know if pineapples ordinary people. I bet it got two or three at the end there. I mean, it's like. I'm going to be honest. I kind of zoned out. So I heard him say pineapple.

So I just said pineapple. Yeah, pineapple too. Oh. I'll do another one. Greatest San Diego Padre. Tony Gwynn. Yeah. uh it's right greatest san diego padre tony gwynn yeah uh i was trying to think another like a brand of car or something uh yeah you can say brand of car ready one two three toyota

i said honda so those are all probably high up toyota for Ford, Honda. Yeah. Like those would be three things. Man, what if people listen to this? It's just another hour of being like a nut. Colors. Okay. One, two, three. Orange. Pineapple.

Pineapple. Okay, okay, okay. We can't get it. Guys, we can't move on until we all agree on the one. And people are just like, like this is unbelievable talk about golf yeah uh but me and my sister would name always say the same thing like a very random like i mean sometimes we would say the wrong thing and it but we both would say the wrong answer that's cool yeah and you see like our brains are minds working together yeah yeah we talked about on this once before but you and

i met a guy who won the whole showcase showdown on price is right yeah his name was kramer he was the manager at stardome when we were there and he went on and won it and showed us his car. We were riding around in it that he won on the Price is Right. Wow. Would you rather spin the wheel on Price is Right or on Wheel of Fortune? If you spin the wheel on – I'd rather spin the Price is Right. Yeah, they're different, right? Yeah, but if you were just doing a tour of the set and you're like,

hey, can I spin that? Which one would you rather spin? Just to get the feel of it. Oh, hey, can I spin that? Which one would you rather spin? Oh, I think I could. Just to get the feel of it. Oh, I'd love to spin the Price is Right wheel.

I think I've been somewhere where the Price is Right, like a studio or something I was in, and it was like, Price is Right is right over, I was, where was I at?

Yeah, because they're like, Price is Right is right over there, and I was like, can we go in there? And I don't think we could go in. They wouldn't let us. But I was like,

man, I might get to spin this wheel. You didn't even get close to it. I didn't get close to it. Yeah. But I could like, man, I might get to spin this wheel. You didn't even get close to it. I didn't get close to it. But I could have, and I forgot. So they have 325, if Price is Right, 325 audience members. So that's about the size of Zany's, right? Yeah.

They pick nine contestants per episode. That's smaller than I thought. Yeah, looks bigger on TV, doesn't it? Sorry. Nine contestants, and there's a producer his name's stan blitz who interviews everyone in line to see who gets to be on the show he says he's looking for energy sincerity and potential humor it's like you got to keep the energy going the energy's got to be you got to be just hopping yeah i don't think i'd ever get it that's that's the best

when when somebody gets called up on it and they're they're just so excited to be there it's the best feeling there's websites that train you on how to do it like do's and don'ts stuff like that you can't be too excited you can't you know they try to teach you how to do it yeah stuff like that aaron paul was a contestant on presses right oh really oh i think i remember that yeah yeah he's very funny he made it to the showcase showdown yeah yeah yeah did you ever see that the guy he's like he's a sailor so it's he's on the he's on the showcase showdown and and the package is like a living room set yeah and like i think of maybe a four-wheeler and then like a trip to Destin, Florida.

And he's like, $250,000. And everyone's like, did you say $250? $250? $250,000. And Bob Barker goes, I'm going to let you try that again. And he goes, okay, okay, okay. $90,000. He just had no idea. Try that again. And he goes, okay, okay, okay. $90,000.

He just had no idea. So he goes to the other woman and she just goes, $1. And then she wins. Yeah. That was in the Showcase Showdown? Yeah. He just had no clue. He had no clue to anything cost.

$250,000.er's like whoa you got a joke like that now similar about taxes oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's well it's very funny to think like you could see like someone that's like you know something that probably doesn't have any money and they're like i don't dude i don't yeah i don't know how much any like going to destin ford is probably gonna be like i don't even know what that is because he's a sailor so that if he's the only reason he's on there is because they like he just got lucky to be like we're gonna have sailors on and so then they go all right we'll go beyond like he just happens to be there it's not like he's taking a trip so this dude's probably never been anywhere so you're i mean he's probably like yeah i don't know i mean a living room set i don't know if i could tell you how much that costs now

yeah five thousand dollars yeah i mean i guess depends on what it is but yeah we talked about on here the perfect bid there's a documentary but you know the one guy yelled out the exact right price for showcase showdown oh yeah yeah you remember that yeah yeah yeah and because he watched it all and he learned everyone yeah yeah yeah yep are you going to show it yeah yeah jose on this showcase everything give me your bet Joe I'll say what you did I'll bid

$250,000 $250,000 $250,000 did i'll bid 250 000 250 000. 250 000. think about that for a moment now $60,000. $60,000. That you get? $60,000 a day. Gabe, this is your showcase. Your showcase. $1.

$1. All right, Gabe. What do you bid on your showcase? $1. Well, I mean, he's like, I'm going to be closer to $1. a dollar gay you bid one dollar on your showcase actual retail price of her showcase it's not even rude It's not even rude for six digits. $28,898.

A difference of $28,897. Now over to Jose. Jose, you bid $60,000 on your showcase. Actual retail price of Jose's showcase, $20,685. You win. You win. It's over just yet over just doesn't matter. Yeah.

That's great. He just didn't know. He had no idea. He was like, what am I bidding on? Well, I wouldn't know the living room set. I guess you just had to be prepared. But this dude could be like They're like Where are we going today And he's going

Price is right You're like I don't even know What this show is And then an hour later He's like The most important Yeah

And she passed to him right Yeah She did pass So he probably Wasn't even paying attention Yeah He probably didn't even know All this stuff

Yeah $250,000 That's so funny A lot of people How do you know? All this stuff. Yeah. $250,000. That's so funny. A lot of people, you have to pay full taxes on all this stuff. So a lot of people don't even claim their prizes because they can't afford to because they can't pay the taxes. Can they sell them or they don't even get them? I think you can sell them, but if you claim them,

you still have to pay the taxes. You pay the taxes on the items that you receive so if you get a car you could be playing a few grand right or something one guy said he won fifty seven thousand dollars in prizes and he had to pay close to twenty thousand dollars in taxes yeah so it's not worth it to some people yeah well that one's probably worth it. You still make, what does he make, $37,000 in prizes? If you can sell them. Oh, yeah, you got to sell them

because you're like, you got a couch. Yeah. You're like, I got to pay these taxes. I mean, yeah, I'd imagine it's a hassle. Yeah.

It's not straight up cash where you're like, all right, cash is kind of easy because you're like, you get to walk away with cash. this is like you know there was a woman in a wheelchair with no feet when the price is right and her prize was a treadmill and everyone freaked out but she was a stand-up comedian and she loved it and thought it was great her name is dan Danielle Perez, and it's a very funny thing. Danielle Perez? This is recent?

I don't know. Yeah, Danielle Perez. She did JFL with me this year. Really? Yeah. Actually, went up right after at JFL. That's very funny. I'd never seen this.

Yeah. I mean, she was great about it. Everyone after her wanted her to try to cancel the show, and she just thought it was very funny. She's like, come on, I want a treadmill. Well, can you play it? The volume? You sound totally nice.

That's all you, Manuela. $3,695. Let's give it to her. Ready? One, two, three. Congratulations. Congratulations. I mean, I saw an interview with her afterwards where she says,

this is great. Drew Carey's just not even acknowledging it. Yeah. Oh, boy. What did they say when she... It's like they just try to... Yeah, that's crazy. That's hilarious.

I had no idea. Yeah, she's a really funny comic. Yeah, look at that. Yeah. There was the gang Plinko. hilarious i had no idea yeah she's a really funny comic yeah look at that yeah there was uh the game plinko um there was a contest that went on and i guess ten thousands in the middle and there's zeros on each side the guy did three straight ten thousands and they're like you know the story no they're like something's up because nobody's ever done this and then a producer ran out before he

dropped the fourth one and they just shot a commercial for it where they wanted the person to, to make sure they hit 10,000. And they put some fishing line that was so thin, you couldn't see it on either side. So the, so it would automatically go in and they forgot to remove it. So nobody saw it. So this person was winning,

hitting 10,000 every time. And they had no idea why they just thought they were lucky. Yeah. Yeah. So they had to stop it and make them do it over. Oh, really? Yeah. I think they gave them the 30,000 off camera,

but then they still had them do the thing. Yeah. Drew Carey, he told that on Jeff and Larry's podcast recently. Yeah, that's crazy. I mean, yeah, like like you gotta give it to them like you get a show like that you're like it's your fault

yeah you know so you know Barker's Beauties they don't do that anymore well I guess they still have models that are out there right yeah

I've never heard them called that well back when Bob Barker was there he called them Barker's Beauties he would call them Barker's Beauties I think it was just everybody called them that it was it was a different time back then yeah i mean richard dawson's making out with other people's wives actually pretty tame considering what's going on yeah

janice pennington who's the longtime model on price is right she did over 5 000 episodes she had a couple of incidents the cliffhanger game you You know the cliffhanger where the guy goes up? It's yodeling as it goes up. Yeah, he's yodeling. During a 1976 episode, it was a different host. He referred to the mountain climber in the cliffhanger game as Fritz, unaware that her husband, Fritz, had disappeared while mountain climbing in the mid-'70s.

As the contestant lost the game and the mountain climber tumbled over the cliff, he announced, there goes Fritzy, causing her to run off the stage crying for the remainder of the episode. God, dude. What are the odds of that? She was like the most, like. And then. What, I mean, what is he, did he have to know?

I don't know. He didn't know. He said later that he felt terrible about it, was extremely apologetic. I don't know how surely he would have known. Yeah. Well, what? I mean.

It's funny either way. Here goes Fred. I mean, just the odds of all of this lining up to be like, I mean, to even have someone in your life that died of a mountain climbing accident and then you have to play the mountain climbing then you have a game of mountain climbing where if he loses he falls off a mountain and then the guy just goes fritz seems like a good name for that and then i mean that's it's actually a perfect name for it. Yeah. It's actually the best name you could choose. There goes Fritzy.

I mean, just crazy. You're like, ah, that girl's taking that loss pretty hard. All right. All right. We'll be back. And then in June of 88, she got knocked unconscious by a camera and resulted in surgery, left her with scars and one shoulder shorter than the other. As a result, she could no longer wear swimsuits on the show. How do you get a shoulder?

I don't know. Good. What kind of doctors do they have back then? The doctor just comes in and he goes, you got some scars and we're going to have to, one of your shoulders is lowered. And you go, can that happen? And you go, it did. I mean, it's happened, you know.

Can that happen, doc? Yeah. That doesn't make sense. Something's not right. Because why do you keep questioning me? You go, I'm not questioning you. You go, it's just the shoulders. Yeah, that doesn't, you just see her, just the one.

And he goes, what are you talking about? And then, not to make fun of it i'm sure we have people at home they're like there's a guy listening at home it's like ben he goes it's actually quite common i like to think bob barker goes back there tell me doc is she she ever gonna be able to wear a swimsuit again they're like probably not i mean i had to find a new. Not the kind you want her to. She's going to be, you know, I think she'll be like when you do shower curtains and stuff

and you give it, you know, any living room suit that you want to give away. Robe or something. Yeah. When you give motorcycles away and they have to wear helmets and stuff like that. I'd do that. I mean, this poor girl. She's still alive?

Yeah. Bless her heart. Yeah. The producer of Price is Right got fired not long after Drew Carey came on board. But he was trying to help Drew Carey. He was allowing more people to win to try to make the show have a positive upbeat, to make people like Drew Carey more, to just try to keep it going.

But after a few months, he was $700,000 over budget because everybody was winning these games. So they let him go. He's been there for a long time? Yeah, I said for decades. Well, that's not a bad thing. Yeah, he's trying to help the show. it's like then you're gonna imagine the people right after him i wonder if

they went on a losing streak like just if you if you happen to get on to try to make up for it right after that and you're like dude i got hammered because you win money i lost money how do you lose money and you go it was the new game they've been where you had to put up your own money for it's called sound exchange yeah it's called sound exchange back in the original prices right days they would uh just try to be funny say you win an elephant but then they would just give you money or whatever. But then one guy said,

no, I want an elephant. And he like, threatened to sue them because he said the fertilizer would really help his farm in Texas. They finally had to buy him an elephant

and ship it to him. Wow. Stuck to his guns. Yep. How do you ship an elephant? I don't know. It came from Kenya. They offered him $4,000,

but he's like, nope, I want the elephant. Then they could have got one from here they didn't go they didn't have to call a couple zoos and just go you got you got one just beating around out there some old elephant and just throw this dude he's we set it on tv i mean what if you just go, we're going to say no. Yeah, I don't know. What if they just go, we're not going to give you the elephant.

Then they violated the contract, I guess. But then you just go, okay. And then you let him, you see if he wants to sue enough for that elephant. I mean, imagine the guy goes, no, I wanted it. And then so much so that he has an elephant. So Ken Jennings is the highest earning game show contestant of all time. He made over $5 million on Jeopardy. Wow. And, you know, James, how do you say his name?

Halzhauer? The guy who just recently changed things? Yeah. He was the gambler who changed the way they do it. The way they changed Jeopardy? I mean, the way contestants approach it. He played it in a way nobody played it. What was that way?

He would like just – He went for money. He would make high risk. Like he would – You know, most people start at the top and work their way down. He would go to the bottom. He was searching for the daily doubles. He was wagering the max every time.

Yeah. And he would get such big leads that people just couldn't catch him he went by far the most money in one day yeah he would have like 50 grand and be like all right make it a true daily double like wager it all on a daily yeah and just dominate people he has to know the answer to these things yeah that's the thing it only works if you know the answers yeah of course he uh the previous record for most earnings in one day was 77 000 he broke that 16 times and his highest was 131 000 in one day wow how much did he win he was just short of ken jennings i think yeah um we finally got beat in a way shorter amount of time though Yeah, way shorter. Yeah. He was $58,000 short of Ken Jennings, but he did it much fewer games.

I think he got beat by a woman who did the same strategy that he did. It's just like you got to just believe in yourself and go, I'm going to know all the answers to these. So I'm going to search for, you know. That's funny that no one ever tried it. I mean, Ken Jennings, I guess, just be like, yeah, I'll just go. Because if I get it and I'm guessing that I'm going to win it, then it's like you just get so, yeah.

Yeah, he's a professional gambler. I think he just did this on the side. I watched a whole video about his buzzer technique too. You know, if you watch Jeopardy, it's the people that don't know what they're doing. They're the ones very aggressively hitting that buzzer every time. And if you watch him, he's got his arms folded across his chest, and you never see his fingers.

He's just casually pressing the button. And he read some book about how to beat the buzzer, when exactly to push it, and he attributes that to his success too he would hold his wrist to keep it steady i think right right oh yeah yeah look he looks crazy because they're all just are they all just hitting you see oh the other two people are like trying they can't get it he's just beating them just down yeah and they're all just can you just keep pressing the button and hope you time it out right i I don't know. I don't know how it works exactly. I think you have to wait until it's done being read, the answer, like exactly. So you just have to time it based on Alex Trebek's cadence and everything.

It's crazy. I always wondered if the second and third place got to keep their winnings. They don't. Oh, really? Second place gets $2,000? Second place gets $2,000 and third place gets $1,000. And everyone gets a Jeopardy CD-ROM game. No.

But if they had like $10,000... That might be old info. They get the CD-ROM game. They get a copy on Betamax. According to this... So you're right, it could be old. CD-ROM.

Well, they just did. Didn't they do like the best, like who was the best Jeopardy player of all time? The Tournament of Champions? Yeah. And that was Ken Jennings and James Hallhauser

and I'm probably saying his name wrong and Brad Rutter. Yeah. And who won? Didn't Ken Jennings win? Ken Jennings won. Ken Jennings won.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Which is the original kind of dude. Yeah. Yeah. So he beat James. Like, it didn't work on James. I guess not.

I guess Ken was just faster buzzing in, maybe. Yeah. I didn't watch it. Well, probably after then Ken studies how he's doing it, and then you got three dudes, like, so who's the quickest? Mm-hmm. And they all just know all the answers to everything. So I guess they're still searching for a host. Mike Richards is going to do it, and then some bad stuff came up.

Yeah. What's so crazy about that story is pretty funny, or the idea that this dude was auditioning all these people for Jeopardy, and then he goes you know what i'll just do it and you're like well that's not how it's supposed to be at all like why do we even why did you audition and then so it's like okay and then he does it and in me i mean within hours they're like well you've you've said stuff on they found some old interview and then they go you said stuff which i don't think should happen but it's like they go back through it but it it

is like i don't like when that stuff happens but then there's times where you're like a guy like that you're like but you probably had all this coming man like you can't you're not the guy like it's like you that kind of thing drives me crazy because it's it's a guy that's uh produces this and sees alex rebeck and, I think I can do it, and I'm in charge of hiring whoever, so I'm going to give myself the job. Hire myself. Yeah. And you're like, I know you think it's an easy thing,

but there's something, too, while we watch Alex Trebek. And the way you're even doing this is now you're like, I would have never – no one would have watched that show. Because you're like, this guy just hired himself. Yeah. Like he took, like it's a coach in training, like what is the interim? Oh, like a player coach? No, interim

coach. Oh, interim? Yeah. He's still the executive producer of Jeopardy. I think some people, now that this stuff's come out, want him gone, gone. Oh, yeah. I think he's executive producer of Price is Right as well. think he's executive producer of price is right as well yeah so he's killing it he doesn't need that job he i know why would you take it it's because he those guys i believe that those guys get jealous of the fame that they get and then

they think well i've been here every day no one knows who i am i'm making this game go more than alex's everything alex has you know like there's a there's a bit of that and and so then he hires himself and then you're like yeah dude well you don't you that looks awful yeah that looks awful and and then and they got the girl from blossom which is like a good one to get she's like a rock she went to harvard or something like so it's like she's perfect girl from big bang theory yeah okay yeah she wants the job i think and like you're like it's kind of a perfect kind of thing everybody knows her you're probably everybody's gonna probably be like i don't want to continue to watch the show it's like someone that gets in their own way you always think of that when someone gets in their own way and it's

kind of crazy because you see you think it would be easy not to get in your own way. And then like that guy couldn't, he couldn't help it, you know? Yep. And it's, uh, and he just got, you know,

you started auditioning all these people. Then you just go, I'm just hiring myself. You got in your own way. You, and so instead you might end up losing all your jobs versus you could, you could be just have another, 40 year run yeah of just a consistent that we're not taking that show away yeah jeopardy is like the one thing that's like it just it

probably can't go away people there's just not another game you. Game shows are hard to like. I think networks and stuff want to try them, but I think they're hard to make click. It's hard to keep it. Even Deal or No Deal was a great. I love Deal or No Deal. I thought it was awesome. I remember watching it. Is it still on?

With Wayne Brady? Howie Mandel. Yeah, Howie Mandel. What's the show with Wayne Brady? Howie Mandel's Let's Make a Deal. Oh, okay. That's an oldel. Yeah, Howie Mandel. What's the show with Wayne Brady? Wayne Brady does Let's Make a Deal. Oh, okay. That's an old game. Yeah, that they rebooted.

That they rebooted. And that was a fun, that was a very 70s game. People dressed up in costumes. Right. You got a Zonko. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's very fun.

Yeah. But like those games, because it's an old game, I feel like when game shows, the newer ones, they're just, I mean, I guess they have a bunch of newer ones on. they try them but they just don't feel like they do i feel dwayne wade's got one now uh and his is like doesn't payton have one yeah it's funny payton

is uh i think cooper manning and payton but it's on something crazy. Like I want to say Dwayne Wade's is on like TBS or something. Dwayne Wade just doesn't have the personality for it. Like he, I've watched it and he's just not, it just like Peyton's got a great personality, you know? And it's Dwayne Wade. I don't feel like has that.

He's not like, he doesn't have that uh that kind of personality like that like lebron could have the like he you could see him doing it or you know steph curry i feel like has a you know i know he did that golf he didn't host it though oh he didn't no i think it was just his show i think he did some of it but he i didn't really watch a ton of it i just watched duane wade it's almost like it. But I didn't really watch a ton of it. I just watched Dwayne Wade. It's almost like they just set him up wrong, where it's kind of quiet, maybe because that's COVID stuff,

but it's kind of quiet. He'd ask them a couple questions, and they'd get in there. And I think it's hard. I mean, it's hard to talk and be able to do that. Ellen has one, I think. I mean, that's what Ellen – she's built for that, like perfectly built for it. built for that. Yeah. Like, perfectly built for it.

Chris Hardwick. Yeah. I mean, you know. I think you get a game show, it's a good gig. I mean, you just go every day. It's fun. You get to see someone win or lose. You got to be funny.

And, I mean, it's not going to, you know, if it, if it hits, it can, it's your goal. I mean, that's like in tonight's show, like found getting tonight's show. You're like, you did it. Yeah.

It's like, you're going to be like the Pope gig. Yeah. You have it till you die. Yep. And you're going to be like, all right, I'll do this forever.

Like it'd be, I think I was, you think, would you want that gig? And, but I think I would like you'd be good for

you're smarter than a fifth grader and I'm not saying that because you're dumb I'm saying that you'd be very fun with the kids and stuff like that I think so I think I would do good with

yeah which Foxworthy hosted Foxworthy did Foxworthy loved he loved it oh yeah he was like it was great

like we just did it you just pump them out and you know I was on Ridic ridiculousness i mean that's not a game show but it's like a like that show dude they're pumping uh they're doing a ton of those like you're they're like six a day and i mean we you go in there and sit and you're in there for 20-25 minutes whatever how long the show is you're in there as long as really yeah like you just sit there and they just plow through it.

You make your jokes and you show your clips and you talk about it and make a joke and they come back to you. I mean, but it's down to a science, which is great because it's like that's an easy show to watch and you're – those are probably the shows to try to create because it's like they just can't really go away until you want them to go, until it's like – and then the formula is there with ridiculousness i mean rob dyrdek is like awesome and their whole crew you're like everybody

likes them uh and rob dyrdek i'm such a big rob dyrdek fan uh from rob and big like all those shows and they but like they could you know that's that could probably just keep going you just find a likable guy and just he sits there making jokes and like you know kids are watching it like you don't there's not as much pressure it's like yeah you're like oh it's just on it's just on at like gas stations it can be on anywhere like it just can be on anywhere you know here's a couple examples of kind of ticky tacky corrections that would

just prove that we would do have no chance on shows like Jeopardy one guy answered the correct answer was Wimbledon Wimbledon

see I can't even do it he said Wimbledon and they gave it to him at first and then after the commercial break they came back and said no you said Wimbledon with a t so they took took it away from him and then on what was

it jeopardy yeah i mean that'd be and then on kids wimbledon i'm gonna say wimbledon wimbledon wimbledon i think i would have said done just because i see it you see it on tv with the d yeah see it spelled out I've seen this one the kid one that you're about to yeah Kid's Jeopardy the kid got it right the answer was

Emancipation Proclamation but he misspelled Emancipation so they said he I mean it was clear it was the final Jeopardy we have to write it down

yeah we have to write it yeah and he just misspelled Emancipation had a letter or two off and it was clear he got it right but they

didn't give it to him. I feel like you just have to do that though. In that game. Like you have to be like, we can't be, it's like, you can't cut corners. You can't be like,

all right. They're like, it is what it is, dude. Like, I'm sorry, but you know, going in,

you better be able to spell it. And you know, I think a kid had a tough time with it and it was being paraded around on the news shows and then jeopardy was like well we can't just pretend that's not a rule like you have to spell it yeah that's a big part of it i mean do they do abbreviations like don't people fill out answers where they do abbreviations or something or he put the ep instead of emancipation emancipation i mean how hard would that i don't know if i could spell it emancipation. Emancipation. I mean, how hard was that? I don't know if I could spell it. Emancipation.

Eman. E-M-M-A-N. E-M-M. Eman. A-M. E-M-A-N. E-M-A-N. Emancipation. Emancipation.

Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation.

Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation.

Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation.

Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation.

Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation.

Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Emancipation. Eman I would have said Emma. Could you get proclamation? Proclamation.

P-R-C-L-O-M-A-T-I-O-N? A. A. That's where they get you. They do. Proclamation. Emancipation. Yeah.

Proclamation. See Lincoln there. So there was a game show called i've got a secret this is the 1950s where people celebrities try to guess what this person's secret is the 95 year old man went on there and his secret was he witnessed lincoln be assassinated at ford theater whoa and was it true yeah it was true he was 95 and this was in 1956 when the show happened. He was five when it happened. And he was at that play. He says he remembers it happening?

Well, on the show he did, yeah. There's video of this. There's video of everything on YouTube. But yeah, he's really old, and they guess it pretty quick. They do? Yeah, I mean, I was like. Oh, because they tell you what the secret is, and then they show the people? Well, they show the show this yeah you know on the screen what it is and then you watch these

celebrities try to guess yeah they said he took a fall before the show if i saw that guy be like what were you at lincoln's assassination or something the oldest person i've ever seen i mean he comes walking out and poor guy and they said. So-and-so took a fall before the show, but he wanted to keep on coming out here. So who knows? So they guess him because it's obvious. There's only one person that could be old enough to. They'll say, they started off by saying,

is this someone we know, like a famous person? And then he says, yes. And then the next celebrity says something like, is this historical? And then, yes. And then, was was something good or bad that happened bad he was like good yeah yeah they ask clues and then till someone guesses yeah what it was that's crazy what year was that 1956 man that's my dad was born my dead mom my dad was born in dad and mom my dad was born in 55 I think my mom was born in 56

and isn't that crazy Lincoln's assassination was just two dudes away from you yeah it feels like it's so long ago

yeah it's two guys away from you yeah I mean this guy was alive my parents were alive yeah like you could get a word of mouth about Lincolnincoln to go no i saw

lincoln my own eyes yeah i saw his last breath you know yeah that's crazy dude louis ck had a joke about that about people say slavery or racism was so long ago it's like two 80 year old women living and dying back to back um will of fortune isn't some other tiki tech thing well not tiki tech they just got it wrong um in this case so the answer is a streetcar named desire and the only thing left was the and she guessed k she thought it was a streetcar naked desire. Oh. Yeah. Another woman, the answer was seven swans a-swimming, and she said seven swans a-swimming.

She didn't emphasize the G. A-swimming. Oh, really? Southern? Yeah. She just have an accent? She has a southern accent, yeah. Seven swans a-swimming.

That's unfair. Clay Travis tweeted about it, like, why are y'all picking on southerners? Yeah. And this woman guessed, I've got a good feeling about this, on Wheel of Fortune, and the only thing she had is, oh, is that it? Yeah, we got it right here. I might want to mute it. Well, I don't know about that.

I was just going to say, how far? No, this is it. She's about to get it. She guesses an L. So we have so many letters, get it. She guesses an L. We have so many letters, just an apostrophe and an L. Can I solve? Okay.

It is a prize puzzle. I've got a good feeling about this. That's right. Wow. Wow. So she's the quickest i would think so yeah i mean it's crazy to guess that when the hint is just phrase you know it's not you know yeah she said she knew with the apostrophe right there the first word's probably i've and then she just started racking her brain like what it might be and then she's like i need to yeah and then she had a good feeling about it yeah it's like oh there it is yeah yeah i've got a good feeling i know this

wait a second uh pat sejic said back in the earlier days of the show he and vanna white would get drunk during before the show they would and Vanna White would get drunk before the show. They would go to a Mexican restaurant across the street and drink margaritas and get drunk before they taped the show. See, that's what I mean. That's why these gigs are so good because it's just so consistent. I feel like in show business,

inconsistent is the name of the game. You don't know where anything's going to come from. There's no, you don't know what's going to happen. And it's the closest you can get to a nine to five job is like one of these. And they don't go away because you're the face of the show. And people get used to seeing you and they're like, I just don't, I want you. You know, Bob Barker, like all you're like, Bob Barker's the guy. Don't change it up.

I'll show my kids Bob Barker. My kids, I mean, it's never going to go away because you're like, as long as he's up there, I like this. It's kind of a mindless TV. Think how many phrases that are just in our zeitgeist. Did I say that right? Maybe not. Have your pets spayed or neutered.

Yeah. We know that from Bob Barker. Yeah. Drew Carey still says it. Yeah. Come on down. We know that. Yeah.

There's just so many phrases from game shows. I feel like your list is running out. I know. I think there's more. I just can't think of them right now.

Oh, so many, dude. One dollar. What out. I know. I think there's more. I just can't think of them right now. Oh, so many, dude. One dollar. What is, you know. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure. For sure. I am forgetting some, but I think there are more out there. Yeah, there's a bunch.

Final Answer? Yeah, Final Answer. Final Answer. That came from that show, right? Yep. There's some from Family Feud, right? Yeah. Phone a Friend? Yep. There's some from Family Feud, right? Yeah. Phone a friend?

Yeah. Not Family Feud. I was thinking about who wants to be a millionaire. I was thinking about game shows in general. I thought we were just... Yeah, we talked about who wants to be a millionaire

where the coughing thing, that was one of the biggest scandals. On Super Password 1988, a guy went on named Patrick Quinn and he won and he won 58 000 but turns out he was a fugitive on the run wanted in three states his name was carrie d ketchum and a viewer recognized him and tipped off the authorities his last name was ketchum carrie d ketchum carrie did you catch him who carrie did you catch him he was arrested what are you talking about look what he looks like dude he looks like a guy on the run he was arrested when he showed up to his prize money oh here there's carrie ketchum different guy oh a little more polished

the guy with the beard's him. Oh, it is? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's him. Super password fugitive. Cleaned up a bit. Yeah.

He spent five years in prison for faking his wife's death to collect a $100,000 insurance policy. This guy's insane. He was on there with Phyllis Diller. Yeah. I gave him a hug. She's like, I hugged him. In 2014, a Spanish model went on a game show where you have to guess a song, kind of like name that tune,

and she used Shazam on her phone. She put it between her legs, and they caught her doing it on the show, and she had to turn it over while the show was going on. Oh, really? They show that? Yeah. Yeah. You see it.

She just laughs it off. I mean, she's just so embarrassed, I guess. But pretty crazy. And then they let her keep playing? I can't remember. I read that you would, like here, that would be a huge controversy. But there they just kind of laughed it off. Like, aha, you got caught.

And it just kind of, I don't think it hurt her career that much. Yeah. A guy on the Australian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire won the top prize. And he said he didn't know any of the answers. He just went off the host body language to figure out what the answer is. On what? On Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Like he just would say them back to

him yeah and that or the host would read them and he would just watch him and figure out how he did it that's crazy i mean he's i mean is he like you know he's like uh he's just going through and like and be like, apple, orange, banana. Pineapple. Pineapple. And pineapple. You go, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Banana. Banana.

C, final answer. Final answer. Yeah. The famous one is, I remember that where, I think I was watching it live, where the guy says, I'm going to call my dad. Yeah. And I think I remember, because that was a, who wants to be says, I'm going to call my dad. Yeah. And I mean, I think I remember cause that was a,

who wants to be married? It goes in and call my lifeline. He goes, dad, I just want to let you know I won a million dollars. It's the greatest thing ever. Yeah. Incredible.

Yeah. As Richard Nixon was on laughing. I remember the question. Yeah. Right. I don't know, but probably. He goes,

dad, I don't need your help. I just want you to know that I'm about to win a million dollars. I mean, that's so. And he hadn't used any lifelines. Any lifelines at all. Have you guys seen the movie Quiz Show?

Yeah. It's a great movie. It's a great movie. Do you know? It's a true story about this guy on Game Show 21. He's got John Turturro and Ray Fiennes, I think. And they were feeding them the answers. And this guy was a good-looking, popular guy.

They wanted him to win because it helped the ratings for the show. So they were feeding him the answers. But it took over. Like, the country was behind it. Like, wow, watch this. They kept watching. And then when they found out that he was getting the answers, it was like a big deal.

Like congressional hearings. He had to testify. Yeah, it's a great movie. Yeah, he caught him, right? Didn't he catch him or he played against him? Who caught who? What's the main actor? The two actors?

Ray Fiennes? Yeah. I think that's how you say his name? Yeah, that's the guy that was the good-looking guy. Yes. But the other guy? John Turturro. John Turturro.

His name was Herb Stimple, and he was great in it. He was great in it. They somehow convinced him to lose. They convinced him to miss a question on purpose, and he did just so this guy could win. But he later testified before Congress about the whole game show rigging. It's a good movie. Yeah.

I need to go watch it again. Yeah. Yeah, it does look good. Yeah. I've never even heard of it. Robert Redford directed it. Who's that? All right.

Sorry. I didn't know if you were serious or not. No. Okay. You're not serious. I know who he is. Okay. I just want to make sure.

Yeah. All right. Maybe the most scandalous. I don't have a scandalous. On the dating game, 1978, a serial killer was one of the contestants, and he won. His name was Rodney Alcala, and he went on as a successful photographer. He got his start at 13, but he was lying. He was the serial killer, and he won. He was going to go on a date with this woman,

but she said she found him creepy, so she didn't go on the date with him. She canceled the date, but later they found out he was a serial killer. Yeah, wow. I mean, all that's on there. I don't know what you can show and what you can't, but all that's on YouTube. Yeah, yeah.

They may just go look it up. Well, he's a handsome guy. I mean, that's crazy to be that confident. I guess that makes you a serial killer. You're like, I'll just go on TV, and they're not. Shows you the two. When was this? 78, I think.

They just couldn't catch anything back then. I mean, you could do whatever you wanted i mean was this before dna like before they 78 way before when did that come about oj trial yeah that was the first time first time i was using the major trial like that oh really i don't know and they uh and but how did they how did he get didn't they find his dna all over the day he was just like yeah i live in that planet there oh that's what they said it was planted there uh mark firman no yeah the glove didn't fit oh that's what they and so they're all the dna was planted. So they were using it in the late, looks like it's used in the late 80s,

but I think part of the thing was they had to explain, in the OJ trial, they had to explain what this is. It was that new of a thing. Yeah. That they had to describe what DNA is and all that stuff. Pretty crazy. Now it's just so DNA's everywhere. Yeah.

You know? I've done this before, but John Mulaney has a very funny joke about back before they knew. Like, detective, there's a pool of the suspect's blood right here. Ew, gross. Clean that up and then start searching for fingerprints. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a show called Money Drop where a family lost like a ton of money because they had they gave the right answer but but later

people wrote in they said they had the wrong answer but people wrote in said actually they had the right answer it was like who what came first post-it notes camcorders or something else and they said post-it notes and they were right but the game show said they were wrong and they lost their money until people wrote in and said nope they're actually right and you had to wait until someone wrote a letter yeah i mean it's probably months yeah yeah and can you imagine like that's the idea of like thinking we're reading people's comments and these people just type it we you you get pretty like quick comment because it's like before you can even really probably think about what i should be

doing or not saying you print it out and then we read from scottland guy from scottland yeah and then uh but back then you had to sit there and write a letter out and mail it and then just never know if it gets you know i guess when you see these people win the money but like how many times you just you're like yeah just never yeah you never knew before that you just put it in a bottle and threw it in the ocean yeah and just hope so came back to your feet and you go i found one you got this for the one day i threw a bottle the same day i found a bottle that's why i went and did it again did you ever open it you go not yet i'm waiting i try to find it that's the day you find the message in the bottle then it goes you you would never believe

this i went out found a message in the bottle like that's crazy how are you out there i threw a 100 yards down i threw a message in the bottle out and then i went walking and found it messaged the bottle out and then i went walking and found it man that's crazy you didn't open it no no i don't think it's for me it doesn't say it's not for it says not for you on the bottle same kind of bottle same kind of bottle that you used yeah i mean there's only so many bottles coke bottle i mean that's a dime a dime a dozen yeah huh i was thinking glass but that's even really plastic ghost bottle never makes it i mean just a plastic bottle it just he goes screws up and just goes two feet he launches it and just flies behind him and he had to finally get it out there and then he never just immediately goes i walked 100 feet down mine had a label on it when i threw it this one didn't and you go wow that's crazy dude

just an ongoing game with that guy a coke bottle Just an ongoing game with that guy. Coke bottle. It barely gets out there. It's so hopeless. I mean, just. There's a hurricane coming in. Yeah.

Just floats back. He's just walking with his hands in his pocket. Uh-oh. Mine had a label. This one didn't. I think it had a silver cap. This is a red cap. There was a woman who lost her top when she came on down on the prices.

Oh, yeah? But they aired the show. Oh, really? I mean, they covered it up. Yeah. But Bob Barker is very funny about it. He might have another one of Barker's beauties up here, I guess. Yeah.

Well, you didn't see her. Oh, yeah. I'm just kidding. So I was going to... I think we've asked this before, but what game show would you be best at? Hmm. Now I'm thinking more. I do great on Celebrity Jeopardy.

Yeah. Because all the... Kids Jeopardy. Kids Jeopardy. Yeah. Because all the- Kids Jeopardy. Kids Jeopardy. The kids one, but- Because celebrities are dumb? The celebrity is a little harder than the kids. Yeah, the questions are easier when it's celebrities.

So I feel like a god playing along with that. And then the regular ones, I don't even understand how I'm supposed to answer the question before the- And then the whole category is done. Yeah. Like I just understand how it works. Then I'm like, oh, they got all of them. They got all of them.

Yeah. Yeah, so you would say Celebrity Jeopardy. That's what I'd say. I don't think I can do questions. I don't know. Not a trivia show? I mean, maybe Family Feud.

Your family would do well on there, I feel like. Yeah. We asked 100 people. If I'm like, it's 100 me's, then I should crush it. Do you do well on Family Feud? I do okay on it, yeah. I can never think of answers. It's the panic.

Yeah. It's the panic of having to like do the answer like that's the that's the problem i think i would do better than people would think i would do but i also think i think i could maybe do better than people think i could do like if i was on who wants to be a millionaire but then i think there's a great chance i'm gonna get knocked out immediately like there's a like i think i could like there's a there's just such a heavy chance of just me not knowing the 100 one but then i would know the rest like eight yeah but then the hundred dollar one's like it's like some some about sia or something i'm like i don't know. With a singer? Yeah.

It's like a super easy one, you know? What's the girl that has, where it covers her face? And then they're like, phew, like throw something in there. You know. I can't think of something. I'm like, Taylor Swift? And they go see ya

I read that they came up with Jeopardy Merv Griffin I think created Jeopardy oh yeah and he was on a plane with his a flight with his wife

and she said if I said to you I'm probably getting myself all wrong 5,280 what does that say to you feet in a mile

mile yeah yeah and how many feet are in a mile and then she's like could that be a game show like where you i give you the answer you gotta come up the question oh interesting yeah his wife said that yeah because they didn't have tvs and stuff back then do you

have to talk to your wife the whole flight yeah and i mean he's and i mean look away worked out but i mean can you imagine the 500 ideas that she said that were terrible yeah what airplane trays what if he did some of that and he's like um he just sits there what do you want to do with them she's like i don't know they come down come up maybe get how quick can you put yours up and come down because you take what if it was like a game show where you like sit in an airplane seat you're like how much how quick can you take this air seat apart and he's like i don't and he goes i mean you know because it's like the same game over and over again no there's 100 seats on this plane I don't understand what the problem is he's just like

and then she does the Jeopardy one and he's got to be like no she came up with it and then he goes you have to sit through the 8,000 ideas I had to sit through every episode is a different scene on the same play it's a hundred episodes that's syndication

that's what we did today 40D middle seat we'll be in the exit rows pretty soon that's a big episode celebrity exit rows you get the celebrities in the exit row let's see

a little bit farther bend. How fast you got to take that seat apart. One guy gets disqualified. He takes the seat in front of him apart, and he goes, no, it's your seat. We were trying to go for it. Well, how am I going to do that? He goes, that's the game. The game's the game.

Zanies used to do a game show. I forgot what it was called. The one that Ben Sawyer hosted. Perfect Timing. Perfect Timing. And Aaron and I were team members one time. Do you remember this? I do.

And I came up with a system to win the, do you remember this? No. I wasn't paying attention. You go off, like at the end, your partner goes off stage and then they ask you some questions and then they have to come back on. I what it was but then you guessed somehow yeah okay right okay yeah and i came up with this system i was like aaron we could if we do this this this we can nail it and then you do you remember this you screwed up the you got the system no we're can i back you so you were trying to cheat i don't know so this is brian bates comedian

i don't know if y'all Brian Bates, comedian. Aaron Weber. I don't know if y'all have met, but I mean, it seems like maybe you've done a lot of game shows on Zanies. So we tried to conspire before this last. Yeah. Okay. And I messed it up. How did I mess it up? I forgot how you messed it up.

What a story. What? Well, I was hoping you would remember it. I'm sorry. If I'm not, if I, if I don't make it, this is what you got to hoping to even remember it i'm sorry i'm not if i if i don't make it this is what you gotta listen to is just that going remember i think it was you was it not all right okay just thinking the whole time i swear you know you don't like diet coke okay all right well i wish i had brought it up but i thought you'd remember this oh no i'm sorry

yeah that was a good what was your system well i came for it was was it the murder it was more oh right it was like a um hook up with mary kill yeah game we had to pick one and we had some kind of system some elaborate system i say. I came up with it. I said, hey, if I say this, the answer is this, this, you know. But then I think you got confused. Well, it's like you could just say your system would be like if the answer, you're going to be asked a question. You could give them just the first letter of all your answers.

What do you walk to? You're like, GLF. And then you go, when you hear this answer, you're going to, you're going to think of a G and you know, it's that. Yeah. Like you say something as y'all walk by each other. I think he tried to set something up like that. I don't remember this at all.

Yeah. But. Rocky Dale Davis was on it. I remember that part of it. Yeah. It was a great show to watch. Brian and I played horse this weekend. Oh yeah.

Basketball. He beat me probably 15 straight games of horse. Really? This guy could not miss. I was furious. Yeah. I was on fire. He was on fire.

I mean, he just kept picking it up and draining it. I go, what is going on right now? From where? Did he go deep? All around the perimeter, man. He was just, he was like rebounds, draining it. Yeah. And then the light started to go out, and I was okay now i'm gonna start to win because brian's can't see

obviously my eyes are a little better he just kept draining it dude i was getting so mad i finally just quit i was like i'm done dude he was i don't know if it's 15 games but he would say let's play pig and then i'd be be P-I-G pretty quick. He's like, all right, let's switch it to horse. So he's H-O-R. Just immediately. I was like, do it again. Do it again.

Did you win any game? No. Really didn't win any game. He just wiped the floor with me. I was so upset. I was getting mad because, Brian, you were even laughing. You were draining every shot. In the zone.

But I started talking some trash. It was fun. I would just nail it. He'd come back to me and I'd just sit the ball down and it's like, I can do this all night. You would yell out the letter before I was done shooting it. He'd be like, H. Yeah. Did you ever play basketball growing up?

I played through middle school. Yeah. And then that was it? Yeah. I mean, he was probably the first time he ever shot through a metal rim. Well, it's because we shot granny shots and he couldn't replicate it. Peach basket. He grew up playing baskets on the farm. Yeah.

He's like the 95-year-old where he could go back and go, I was in the same town of naysmith when he invented the game of basketball he goes oh where are you yeah i was there i was there i lived down the street from his uh i worked with his dad there was a there was an amish guy that was watching his play and there's amish family stay at our hotel oh dude we would tell the story yeah i think you should it's the amish family in the hotel and there's you know there's Amish family stay at our hotel. Oh, dude. Should I tell the story? I think you should. There's an Amish family in the hotel. And there's a computer in the lobby.

For everyone to use. For the business center. And I'm walking past this Amish guy on the computer. He's got Google up. And he just typed in girls. I love it. He just starts from the beginning. He's not even looking at images.

He's just got like the links and he's just scrolling, having the time of his life. He's like, yeah, that works out great for me. If I've ever done it. Do you need to get any more specific? No. Well, you got to start there and work your way down. I'm not a picky guy. Someone just told me, I don't know if this sounds,

I can't tell if it's a joke or they were talking about so many people from California are moving here. In Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, where my wife's mom and dad are, they both grew up there. And so they have a lot of amish in that town and they're still there so every time you go we go drive to her dad's house uh we mean you see the horse with the buggies and they're i mean they're just everywhere and uh so someone from california uh moved to lawrenceburg because so many people were moving out here and they were like they called 9-1-1 and said uh it was abuse on

the horse and that's what their 9-1-1 call was for wasn't for like i don't know like a traffic thing or something it was like they they think it was abuse on a horse whoa and they're like well that makes no sense they don't have horse in california that people like it makes i don't i don't know it's that it's there's part of me that thinks that the story seems like it could be a joke yeah maybe it's not yeah but i could also see it happening like that's what because that is what we picture you think of someone from a big city moves and goes look at this how are they doing that you know right yeah but they think abuse is like uh you know i mean mean, people get after the horse carriage.

Whipping it. Yeah, and the horse carriage in Central Park, people don't like that. But I mean, this horse is like, what a horse is there for? He's being used for the real thing. Yeah. Yeah. The way he's meant to be used. Yeah.

Right. Well, this family was living it up in this hotel. Oh, man. Yeah. They're having the time of their life. Yeah. Yeah. The way he's meant to be used. Yeah. All right. Well, this family was living it up in this hotel. Oh, man. Yeah. They're having the time of their life. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's fun.
