This month has been kind of ridiculous, schedulinguling-wise, it's been fun. It's been an awesome time. I mean, I'm home, I think, one day from November whatever. I think I've gone 20 days, and so I'm home this one day. And if you're wondering why we're not recording right now, we're about to go to the Opry.
Starting point is 00:01:21 We're about to go to the Opry. We have a show tonight. So I came home for that Opry show and I'll leave tomorrow. And so it's been, this month has just been super crazy. The shows have been awesome. So I'm sorry that we do not have these comments for you this time. I truly would, I don't want to not do that, but it just got a little carried away. We will, we will get it back. We will get it back for you. Y'all have been coming to the shows and I can't thank you enough. The crowds have been unbelievable. Y'all are so nice and I love getting to do this for you. So enjoy this. Sorry it's a little quicker one, but it's funny

Starting point is 00:02:18 Canadians. Canadian zone sounds like a bad whiskey. Yeah, it does. It comes in a plastic bottle. What was the whiskey that Canadians own? God, I get a word just in the chamber, and there's no more thinking about it. I just let it. You're a confident man, and you should be.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Yeah. Canadian zone, Canadian whiskey. What's the whiskey someone, or Justin said this weekend on the bus, it was a real name of a guy, like something Smith, E. Smith. No, I can't remember. Everett Smith or. Yeah, something like that. Never heard of it.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Yeah. Joseph. You were talking about a whiskey, and you thought that we were all talking about a guy. A guy. Yeah. We're like, he's smooth. Yeah, it's not like Jack Daniels. It was just like.

Starting point is 00:03:09 Yeah. He'd be like, golly, what is this guy? He's not a good guy at all. So we have Graham here. We just also found out that this seat goes back. I also, we did just find that out. And you're really excited about it. I didn't know this could go back.
Starting point is 00:03:23 I've never been back because I didn't know you could make it do that. One of the production people just switched my cup. Yeah, why did they do that? Does that mean I was drinking out of a dirty used cup? Oh, you were. Oh, man. Yeah. That's how we do it on Batesville.
Starting point is 00:03:38 I'm a germaphobe, and that's going to... You're going to think about this the whole podcast. Justin Smith. Justin Smith.

Hello, everybody. Welcome to Nate Only Podcast.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Yeah, we've been on the road, living it up, as always, Graham. We see Reddit. We had some nice Nate Land on the Nate Land Reddit. Saw Nate in Mobile last night. The New Hour is phenomenal. Nate's maybe one of the best comics that's ever lived on life. I'm having trouble reading this. He's on life.
Starting point is 00:04:30 No one's ever been better. Graham K. quit comedy. God, am I? On stage, yeah. Am I saying this right? It made the trades. No. She said, also the show had a lot going on in the late show.
Starting point is 00:04:42 A drunk lady heckling both openers, and a guy walked up to Nate during his set, but it was still fantastic. Also, Graham K. is a killer up there. Highly recommend these shows. There you go, Graham. That's nice. There was a guy that walked up on me
Starting point is 00:04:57 and laid down two business cards and then said, I want you to make fun of me. On stage? I was on stage. She got up out of his seat. Got out of his seat, walked to the front, laid two business cards and then said i want you to make fun of me on stage i was on stage she got up out of the seat got up see walked to the front like two business cards down and said i think i it goes i just want you to make fun of me and i said i think you're doing a pretty good job yourself yeah that was a good burn and then uh then did he have to go return some video yeah yeah uh the crowd work is actually pretty good but i definitely don't want to do that more
Starting point is 00:05:24 so if you're hearing this that's not just have fun and enjoy your next hours is gonna be a crowd work yeah yeah yeah i mean it really did work out look it's maybe not you know a bad thing to every now and again you have something happen but you just don't want it to you're almost too big to do crowd work now it's like you up there in the fourth level. What was that? Yeah. Here we go. They're too fat. Yeah. You're too big of a guy, right?
Starting point is 00:05:54 You have people way back. Yeah. Arena. Yeah. What's going on? Top row. You got a question? 87F.
Starting point is 00:06:00 87F. Shoot it down this way. That's all you hear you stink when I start comedy 2003 you just real advice this is good
Starting point is 00:06:16 this is a good show yeah also also for reddit too if anybody my sister I found out and I guess there's a Nate Bargetzi Reddit.
Starting point is 00:06:27 There's the three of us on the show. Look at that. Yeah, there you go. And she's on there as an admin, whatever that is. Oh, really? But helping out. Your sister's an admin? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Oh, that's nice. She's a mod. A mod. Yeah. So it's like... So there's a Nate Land subreddit, and then there's a nate bargetti subreddit yeah yeah yeah you guys got your own subreddit that's fine yeah because abigail now just texts me with all the questions that they ask
Starting point is 00:06:52 here's yeah they got someone on the inside yeah so yeah so abigail just goes and i mean i'll just get you know what's that that shoe you wear? Like, you know, none of that. You're going to get some homemade shoes. Yeah, I got to get like, yeah. Some psychopath's going to whittle you some shoes. They do that on the email, but I just make stuff up. I'm not going to bother you with it, so I just take a guess. Or sometimes, depending on what it is, I purposely tell them.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Well, Abigail makes me get involved. Everyone thinks, well, not everyone. Most people think no now that I return. But some people still, and they'll send you this long, heartfelt email. And then I have to reply back as you. And I have to misspell words and say some stuff just to make it more authentic. And they'll be like, breakfast is a stick in the, you know, like, I have to like, yeah, I hear you.
Starting point is 00:07:43 He's a problem. We're working on it. We're working on it. We're working on it. This morning we worked out and the workout guy, for whatever reason, Matt, so for whatever reason, like the countertops came up in conversation and they kept calling it granite. You said a granite? Granite. Well, that was the guy with the cards.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Oh, right. I was telling that story. That's it. The person laid the card, the business cards. I picked them up. One was a real estate agent, and the husband sold granite countertops. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh, y'all in the – I think I said it on stage.
Starting point is 00:08:22 And then I was like, y'all are in cahoots. Your wife just goes and sells a house. And she's like, the only bad thing is there's no granite tops. And she's like, but I know a guy that could probably do it. It's collusion. But he told that story. And I was like, man, I just can't even get past how you say granite. And then Matt goes, i thought that i was wrong
Starting point is 00:08:46 turns out matt used to work in a granite factory countertop factory but nate was saying it was so confident he was like i guess i was wrong the whole time i worked in this factory i was wrong maybe that's why matt didn't have a very he told us he didn't have a good time there maybe that's why because you're mispronouncing everything you're trying to sell kluge fitness matt he's great he's great uh yeah i say yeah i think i said granite on dead gum and i said it on stage probably i think everybody just rolls with it now oh yeah i think they know yeah and then they yeah and they do it that's everybody knows yours you don't respond to every like the email like pretending to be though. I don't want people to think we're... If there's one, I will get it. No, I don't really pretend to be you.
Starting point is 00:09:29 But sometimes they will send it directly to you telling you how much they enjoy the show. I'm just going to reply and say, thank you so much for coming. I don't really pretend to be you. Yeah, yeah. That's the one people think of. They send some big heartfelt thing. I'm not going to look at it or something. I'll look at it.
Starting point is 00:09:45 I appreciate it. Yeah. That's the idea of Brian doing that. It's funny, though. Just going, hello. I am Nate. I'm writing this to you on my granite, N-I-G-H-T, counter, countray top.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Did you enjoy the theatry show? Do you also think that that uh bryan should get more money yeah yeah tell me i was thinking about paying breakfast a lot more than even i would make yeah he deserves it yeah do you
Starting point is 00:10:20 think that's something that nate would go for i mean me me would go for me Nate would go for? I mean, me? Me would go for? Me, I would go for something like that? Yes, I do too. Yeah. What were you going to say?
Starting point is 00:10:35 You had something. Oh, I was going to say granite. It's one of those. No, get into it, Aaron. I'm saying that's one of those, if you had said that, I would have think, oh, that's just an alternate pronunciation i've never heard before and i wouldn't want to sound like such an idiot insurance uh do you mean granite dude and you'd be like no actually there's a whole nother way yeah
Starting point is 00:10:54 because you're a good guy and graham's not that's right yeah i need every upper hand i can get grandma yeah and grandma yeah that's gonna be yeah everybody calls it nick mick they'll call you grandma anti-grandma anti-grandma i don't know that's good i don't get it i don't get it either i was trying to quote seinfeld anti-dentite yeah i'm trying to anti-grandma yeah yeah yeah you're anti-semitic anti-grandma that's what it is it's something with that anti-dentite Anti-Semite? Anti-grammar? That's what it is. It's something with that. Anti-dentite. Anti-dentite. Well, you're an anti-dentite. That's a great, you know. Fred next year
Starting point is 00:11:29 said they should have their own schools. They do have their own schools. Alright, this week we are talking about the 2010s. Graham, let me ask you something. Yeah. We've been doing all the decades, the 90s, pretty much everyone calls the 90s, 2010.
Starting point is 00:11:50 I think people call them the 2010s. What do you call the 2000s? So here's the thing. I have been saying this for- It's a leading question. Okay. All right. You're right.
Starting point is 00:11:58 What do you call the decade in between those two? 20 years I've been saying this. Okay. We had the 20s, 30s, all the way to the 90s. Yeah. And then the year 2000 happened. I was a young boy and I was like, what are we going to call it? And there was no answer for a decade.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And then I was like, a next decade happened. I was like, what are we going to call it? And everyone just, they just said that they called the whole 20 years the 2000s. They say early 2000s, late 2000s, which makes no sense. It's the, you know, I mean, I go, okay, fine. You can go early 2000s or the aughts is the first 10 years. And the next 10 years, I still, the teens, that doesn't make any sense. What about, you know, 10, 11, 12?
Starting point is 00:12:40 There's no answer. It pisses me right off. I don't think anybody's saying the late 2000s. That would be... The late 2000s makes no... It's 2,990? Yeah. That's the late 2000s.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah. Right. He said it, though. You call it the aughts? I mean, the early aughts, I guess. I guess you call the whole 20 years the aughts. No, I'm talking about the 20 years. 2000 to 2010.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Is aughts. 2000 to 2010 is the aughts. No, I'm talking about the 20 years. 2000 to 2010. Is aughts. 2000 to 2010 is the aughts. Yeah, yeah. I've never heard that. I hear most often the early 2000s is the first 10 years. I would just say, now I'd say 2000s. Now I'd say, I like 2010s. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:17 And then it'll be the 2020s and 30s, 40s. Then you're back into like 1900s, 1910s. Like you just do that. Well, now we're in the 20s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's the thing. It's 2021. We're halfway through 2021, people.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Yeah. And we have not... No, I don't hear 20s in popular culture. You don't hear it. I do not hear it. Psych guys. Yeah. So we don't have it yet.
Starting point is 00:13:40 We're still on this charade. Of the early 2000s. Just floating in purgatory. Not grabbing onto anything. Man, I have it yet. We're still on this charade. Just floating in purgatory. Not grabbing onto anything. Man, I have a nerve. Yeah. I want to know where I am. Where am I?
Starting point is 00:13:55 Where am I? Where do I live? What am I going to tell the other earthlings? I want to tell my grandkids when I did stuff. Yeah. I meant to ask this last, during the odd episode, but I forgot,
Starting point is 00:14:08 but do you remember where you were in comedy when you started this decade and when you finished? So basically, Same spot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Not a lot of movement. Not a lot of movement. Were you in high school? Actually backwards. Yep. Yeah. So like 2010? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Yeah, I was about, I graduated high school that summer. All right. Yeah, that's 2010? Yeah. Yeah. I was about, I graduated high school that summer. All right. Yeah. That's where I was. 2010? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:31 2010? Yeah. Someone, Laura showed me a picture. It was like a meme or something of an Iowa, it was either Iowa History Museum or a history thing. It's a computer with that blue back on the top of it. That's already in the history museum. Yeah, that original iMac.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Different colors, orange, green, blue. It's in a history museum. And that's a joke they say to millennials. Which I, technically, you're like, I mean, whatever I use, they're going to be like, well, there's not even a thing. It's crazy to think, I saw
Starting point is 00:15:03 this thing invented and then it's already in a history music the automobile it's like when when red comes out of prison and shawshank it's a sure it's faster out here yeah never seen it he's never seen shawshank yeah i forgot i know i'm going to i uh i did the last show with you of 2019, and it was in Atlanta at that theater. Oh, yeah. And we talked about what was your first show of 2010, or first show of the decade, last show. You said you were at Eastville, you think, doing a show in front of 20 people.

Starting point is 00:15:58 We lost a few. That club shut down. No, I- Eastville's still open. I was probably doing the same thing in the beginning of the decade. And it's a couple years ahead of me. And then in New York, I was in New York. And then in 2011, I had to move back to Canada for almost four years.
Starting point is 00:16:16 And then 2019, I would have been in New York. And I started working at the...

Starting point is 00:18:01 not take away yeah and in order to prove that you have to like do a zillion things and hire a lawyer to make sure all of your things are in order and you do it right. Yeah. Yeah. But you went up in Canada. I mean, you actually, you did a bunch of stuff. It was great. That's when I first.

Starting point is 00:19:38 And when did you live in the 250-square-foot apartment? When I first moved to Toronto, I wanted to live on my own and it was this the size of this room and i had everything in it toronto's super expensive right yeah yeah it's like almost like new york prices but i got it was 600 bucks and all everything was included this is like 2011 10 years ago and um and like I had to pay in cash. I paid a Russian guy in the basement in cash. And there was a guy who lived beside me or below me. And he had a bunch of like, it was a kind of building where this guy had a bunch of printed out of a printer Harley Davidson logos.
Starting point is 00:20:21 And he had a bunch of like handwritten like cops keep out it was a good building you have your own bathroom? I have my own bathroom oh that's good yeah it was a fully contained apartment one time I was like partying with some friends and my friend was like you know that girl likes you and we were all going back to my apartment to like
Starting point is 00:20:42 hang out and like basically you know sit on my bed yeah and and drink and uh she came like a bit later and then and everyone left and uh and i was like my buddy was like so what happened with that well she didn't like me when she saw my apartment i got she walked in my apartment like oh this guy yeah she like walked in the building probably and there were spider webs and like she's just like this guy with cops this guy. She's like walking the building probably and there were spider webs and she's just like, this guy with cops, keep out. It's like, ah, this guy's probably not a good investment.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Yeah, yeah. They go, that's very funny to think that she comes in, everybody's there and then she's like, I'll just go over there, have a drink with him and then I'll just go home after that. We're having a fun night. We'll sit in his living room.
Starting point is 00:21:25 We're going to have a good time. And you walk into his whole life. His whole life, yeah. His whole life. Yeah. Yeah. Everything's there. No kitchen.
Starting point is 00:21:34 It had a kitchen and everything. It had like one of the walls. Yeah. It had a sink and a microwave. Everything's there. Yeah. Yeah. Everything.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Yeah. It was like. I don't think. Did you mind it? Like, I always think... I always wanted to live in a studio apartment just because I liked the idea of being... I just get my room. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:52 I'm not going to do everything. I used to lose stuff in there. I'd be like, how? Yeah. Yeah. Where could it be? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:59 It was good for that time in my life, but it's like all of a sudden you're like 32 and you're like, I don't have a car. I live in literally a closet. Yeah. In this house, there's a closet that's the same size. Yeah. I was like, I got to... So it gets old pretty soon. Well, we don't have closets that big, but we're in a closet right now.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you don't. No, I'm joking. I'm joking. I don't want – you're like, you know, I mean, your bathtub is bigger than when I slept. We're not – this house is not $4 billion. This is a regular house. I'm just like –
Starting point is 00:22:40 I know, I'm joking. This house is – but when you move back to anywhere that's not a city for a comic this is like the biggest room is as big as as uh your apartment though for real yeah it was yeah my which is crazy to think imagine you had a party in here yeah i i that's the smallest apartment i ever had i had more after parties in that apartment. Yeah. Now I live in a two bedroom by myself and it's like hard to get people. Yeah. Come on. They always.
Starting point is 00:23:11 I live in a good neighborhood. Yeah. They always feel, I think people just don't want, you know, it's like when you're, when you have that, they don't want, they know we can go over there and like, it's not my home and I don't care. It's like a fun, it's almost like fun to hang out yeah in that scenario then we start hanging out of the house i guess you know because it doesn't matter in that little tiny place it's like this is temporary this is not an investment yeah all
Starting point is 00:23:33 this furniture is a dollar yeah yeah it's like it was fun would you try to go to bed when your party's still there you guys just have fun i'll be over uh i'm gonna go i'll be on this side of your back and then you yeah he goes guys everybody have a good night i'm gonna just crash and then you sit down on your bed like you make that statement from the bed i just close my eyes you're laying on the bench hey i'm gonna crash real fast yeah those eyes closed and everybody's still sitting there no it's cool it's cool no no no don't worry's cool. It's cool. No, no, no. Don't worry about it. Should we go to the bathroom?

Starting point is 00:24:39 Technically. Is that like every, is that just? I guess that would happen every so often with the calendar right yeah but not like what's every 40 years yeah or something like that
Starting point is 00:24:48 yeah in 2011 Osama Bin Laden found him killed him had news baits we were all big fans of Osama I know

Starting point is 00:25:09 It's all going to crumble over there. They had a good thing going over there. Watching people, I think there was a big baseball game happening. Everybody checking their phones. That was cool. John Cena announced it at a WWE event.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I just got some news. Oh, my. The place goes nuts. Yeah, if you want a man in jorts, you're going to bring that information. Yeah, like he got the news. He heard somehow more, you know. Just like everybody else. The president.
Starting point is 00:25:38 They go direct line to John Cena. Yeah. He'd be one of my first calls. You want to go tell the news stations? They go, let's do Cena first, and then we'll do the news stations they go let's do cena first and then we're doing more more people watching that yeah yeah we joked that he kept his phone in his jorts yeah apparently he did i know that he kept all his stuff his idea that john cena always had like his jeans he had like his keys and like some gum before he walks out there he's gonna take his wallet out he's gonna going to be like, hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:26:07 That's why when he body slams somebody or when he drops on top of them with his leg, it hurts extra because there's just keys going. Keys in it. You always see, everybody picks up the change that falls out of his pockets. That's part of it. I got a John Cena dime. A couple of royal weddings. Well, that's exciting. I can't believe
Starting point is 00:26:23 I forgot those Yeah Prince William Kate Middleton And Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Prince Harry and Meghan Had the bigger viewership Oh yeah 1.9 billion
Starting point is 00:26:33 Then the other The other ones About a billion Yeah Kate Middleton Really got overshadowed By Meghan Markle Didn't she Yeah
Starting point is 00:26:40 And she's like the Middleton I feel like Is like what they What they want That they want That's like You know she's like the – Middleton, I feel like, is like what they – What they want. That they want. That's like – you know, she's like Princess Di. She's the – you know.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Do you think Canadians care more about the royal family than Americans? A hundred percent. Yeah, because you've got the relationship with the – Yes. Okay. Yeah. Yes, we were the – what's it called? Good – oh, my gosh. Good, now my brain's broken.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Oh, my. Commonwealth. Commonwealth. I kept saying goodwill. No. Yeah. Goodwill. No.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Brain. We discussed this. Good money. Yeah. Yeah. The Commonwealth. The Commonwealth. Basically, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:22 So that's where you, so y'all celebrated, y'all like queens and kings and. Well, I mean, my generation doesn't care. Yeah. I think my mom is the last generation to really care. She's like, my mom is an immigrant and she loves the queen. She's like, she just loves the whole thing, the pomp and ceremony. Yeah, my mom loves it too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:42 An immigrant from England? No, she's from czechoslovakia and the commonwealth's there nope no okay yeah that's what i'm saying it makes no sense yeah she just loves it though it's but my mom makes her feel more canadian maybe yeah i think it's but my mom loves it i think it's a big mom thing that's what i'm convinced of it's a princess tailor-made for the his tailor-made for moms oh if you're and if the ones and everybody that watched princess die so princess die was so big and so i think that's the obsession with it and i think it's getting less and less now because it's people
Starting point is 00:28:16 don't know about it i mean it's still huge still billion people watching it but it's uh it's princess die like i i i believe it's it's that generation of people that really watched Princess Di, which would have been your mom, my mom. They are just, they love the crown. I mean, it's like a romantic kind of, it's crazy. It's kind of a crazy thing. There was a weight in my household when she died. I just remember being a little kid and just being like, man, this is bad.
Starting point is 00:28:45 It was like, I don't know, when JFK got shot or something, I imagine. It was like a week-long problem in my house. I was like, I just want to play with my cars. Yeah, and you got to put your cars all in the funeral. Yeah, in the funeral procession. Look what I made, bro. Just a Lego lady.
Starting point is 00:29:05 X's over her eyes and the he's in the pickup truck yeah I'm doing my best it's a spaceship she's bigger than the truck
Starting point is 00:29:13 I don't know I'm yeah I'm sorry I think there's long live the queen two Princess Di movies coming out
Starting point is 00:29:20 oh really yeah just in the next few weeks yeah Kristen Stewart plays her there be oh yeah just coming up with there has never been one though right coming out oh really here just in the next few weeks yeah uh kristen stewart plays her and there be oh yeah just coming up with there has never been one though right so that's kind of new there's a big the crown had it all yeah yeah watch that yeah it's the only show my dad can get my mom to
Starting point is 00:29:35 watch with him this is a crown oh yeah yeah yeah they did uh yeah i was thinking that's like everything that they make movies like they're now just doing prince ty it's gonna be tough now you're just watching i think they're making stuff too like i feel like when they used to remake movies it was like very far removed from it i guess princess ty is far it's a long time it's like early 25 years i graduate yeah 25 years though i mean that was seinfeld's been off here for 25 years you know what I mean? It doesn't feel that old. It was 97. 97. So when I graduated high school, because I was at Liz Embree's house.
Starting point is 00:30:11 97. To like new people, to like Gen Z, to them, Seinfeld is like the Andy Griffith show to us. That's how far it is away. Isn't that nuts? No, but Andy Griffith's show was the 50s and 60s. So when we watched Andy Griffith's Black and White ones, we were, it was 40 years. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:30:30 So like they're watching Seinfeld. I mean, Gen Z, I mean, it's like, what's Gen Z? Like Harper? Okay, Batman. Batman, the bat from the 60s or Star Trek from the 60s. Yeah, but that's almost like- 30. That's what I would have, when I watched that back then,
Starting point is 00:30:43 you're watching Black and White. Yeah. So- I mean, it's pretty close. Seinfeld, the first year was 89, so that's over 30 years. So this was 60, and you watched it in 90, that would be 30? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Yeah. I guess. Isn't that weird? But that would be, how old is Gen Z? Are they 20? Yeah. Yeah. They're like 22.
Starting point is 00:31:04 So they're only 25 years apart it's close but it's I don't like it yeah I don't know it's sort of I feel like they used to make stuff just not as close it's like Princess Diamond
Starting point is 00:31:20 I always talk about that they make these movies just over and over the most unoriginal ideas. It's just the same things. They make two Princess Di movies at once, apparently. Well, that's what they do now. They come up with an idea, a time travel show. This one, she lives.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Yeah, but it's like that kind of thing where you go. Cool. It's like, oh, this one's doing good, and people are like to hear, make it. They go, well, we're it's like it's it's like oh this one's doing good and people are like to hear make it they go well we're gonna make it two for ours i i honestly there's not i don't think much original thought in making stuff anymore no and uh they just want to do like you know whatever all right perfect that's a re you know reboot of that or you know like whatever they're doing that reboot of the 70s show which I love them and they're amazing.
Starting point is 00:32:08 It's like, why don't you make a show with them? They're doing a 90s show for the 70s? That's interesting. So just do a different show with them though. I mean, I like them a lot. Is it the same actors?
Starting point is 00:32:22 Yeah, Sarah Jo Rupp and Kurt Woodsmith. Same actors. Which they did my pilot. I mean, I like them a lot. Is it the same actors? Yeah. It is? Sarah Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith. Yeah. Same actors? Yeah. Which they did my pilot. Which they're amazing together. But make my pilot. That was a different show.
Starting point is 00:32:35 We can see that coming. These same actors just do a different show. I don't know. Here's an idea. How about my show? How about my show? Set it in Nashville. Which we brought. I don't know. here's an idea how about my show how about my show yeah set it in Nashville but they
Starting point is 00:32:45 it's which we brought you know it's I don't know it's like we're talking about this is coming after
Starting point is 00:32:51 Halloween but like we're now here doing this before Halloween but like they're coming out
Starting point is 00:32:58 with a new screen which I'm very excited about because I love screen and so I say all this stuff about this and then I'm I don't you know and then I have my own thoughts.
Starting point is 00:33:06 And it's just my things I like, and everybody should like my things and no other things. I agree. But they have a new Scream coming out. And then I was thinking about Halloween. We were talking about it last night. Go make a new Halloween. I mean, they are making a new Halloween.
Starting point is 00:33:20 How about this week? I mean, go make a new thing. Make a new franchise. Make a new franchise. Make a new franchise. Yeah. They're doing all this stuff where they just make the same movie, and they bring people back. I get the idea of having another Scream, and this is a –
Starting point is 00:33:37 I love Scream, so I get even having new Halloweens. I get the idea that they're fun. There's a point where you want to go like, guys, start thinking about creating a new thing. a new superman do a new superhero that's just completely new and different and do that kind of stuff create a new world that people can do like i don't think they do that as well is that what harry potter was or was that made off a book it was a book first yeah but it's like that was a whole new world right yeah right it's like game of thrones was a whole people want these new worlds and they don't do that they just go what about this again well it's this these are
Starting point is 00:34:10 huge franchises before their movies right so they know it's going to be a hit movie because it already has this built-in fan base that's going to watch it even if it's bad even if they yeah but go bake for that instead of just going you know i always thought that when people adapt a book to a movie is it you know it's like well the book has got to be amazing and so books are basically amazing right because it's like you beg and then uh and then like he said that you got millions of people bought it and read it and loved it so they know the movie will make money i know but that's what's so funny like then start making movies like books like do something because if the books are so amazing and those guys that write the books the people that write the books are so great at it and they
Starting point is 00:34:55 make this such a compelling story and there's new characters there's new this i know there's even the same guys what's the main guys that write all the main books uh the the authors yeah what are the main big authors tom clancy or grisham yeah like grisham that's all different stories right so this dude's made a whole series i mean he's all his books is just a different story it's not like he's going there's one character and i'm gonna do 40 books with that character this guy's so creative that he's just, it's different worlds. Maybe he has one that does three. Maybe there's more.
Starting point is 00:35:29 And by the way, I don't know if it's true or not, but if you look at that aspect, you're like, well, make stuff like that. You're having the guys be, people are so creative that they're making, they have a, they've written 50 books, and they're all 50 different. Yeah. And there's not the same character. It's the same style, but that's how creative books are. I just think they're out there.
Starting point is 00:35:52 All those things are out there. It's just that the studios seem to be more risk-averse than ever. Yeah. So they're just like, if we make this superhero movie, we know and we don't have to worry about a lot of dialogue. We just make, as long as it does, people are going to watch it in America
Starting point is 00:36:10 and it's going to do well in China. Yeah. And those are the two biggest markets we care about. And the less dialogue, then the better it is because the more sense it'll make in China. Yeah. So there'll be less dubbing and all that.
Starting point is 00:36:21 So they just do these superhero movies which are just, you know. Right. Yeah. There's like no. It's a factory. Yeah, yeah, it's a factory so but you know things go in in in ebbs and flows and i think that we're kind of coming to the end like people are pretty i think people are like you are like bored yeah getting pretty bored yeah i mean i was bored from the beginning
Starting point is 00:36:40 yeah yeah but you're kind of like you know and there's people that are super into it i mean i people got mad because i uh with the marvel stuff and i get the idea but there's a point you want to go like you don't want anything new like you know and then all they're doing is aren't they doing the comic books are they even creating a new storyline or they just basically like they take the comic books there's no comic books there's all sorts of new one i mean i don't i'm not a comic book guy but like i'll go in like i want i'm always looking for stuff for my brother and so every once in a while i'll go to like a comic book store like store and and then they're like what about this what about that this is a cool new series and i'm like i you know it's there's a lot out there. Well, I mean, but that's creating. Because they are creating.
Starting point is 00:37:28 Yeah. And then the movie industry is not. They're not creative. Nope. And they're the ones that... They're the suits. The suits are not creative. They're just one.
Starting point is 00:37:37 They're just a factory. I'm becoming a hippie. But the thing is... That's what I feel like I'm becoming now. I'm going to be in a a van i rode in a van this weekend and i'll be honest pretty awesome that's pretty good yeah uh like an answer no no i'm looking up old trucks now i think i do want to buy an old truck old trucks are cool yeah i think uh i've started looking up some old trucks because uh i just think there's too much i mean i want like i like cool like i'm
Starting point is 00:38:08 not the biggest car guy but i like to like if you see this one there's a mercedes eqs that's going to come out and it's unreal dude it's electric it's uh the inside of it looks insane it's the coolest car i've ever seen in my life and then then my phone will ring, and I'm furious because I just hate it. There's 11 buttons to push, and the tires might fall off. Yeah, you just sit there, and you're like, it's just overwhelming to be like, all right, man, I just can't. And I want to just go sit in a one-row seat thing and drive a car. Just a break.
Starting point is 00:38:40 No screens. Just a break from screens. Just nothing, and just sit there and drive a truck. This car is beautiful. I mean, it's beautiful. It's all screens. It a break from screens. Just nothing. And just sit there and drive a truck. This car is... It's beautiful. I mean, it's beautiful. It's all screens. It's like a spaceship on the inside.
Starting point is 00:38:51 So much. It does look like a spaceship. It does. It would be... I would love to have that car. You want it all screen or no screen? Yeah. Basically, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:01 That'd be the best if you can get to that world. But I just kind of want to get a truck or a Jeepep and just be like i'm just gonna go drive around in this i would love that so i'm on the same i would if i ever like i've been one of the things that got me through the pandemic is looking at used cars yeah just old cars and being like i could buy that yeah maybe i buy that this is my favorite looking car of all time. The Bronco that OJ drove, I think is such a cool looking car. And now that's all anyone knows it as, is the car that OJ drove. You get it to...
Starting point is 00:39:35 You get it in a different color, maybe. You get the black bottom with the gray top. Yeah. With the red line in the middle. That's cool. That would be cool. Yeah. You just can't go all white because that's...
Starting point is 00:39:44 No, you can't do that. That's OJ. Yeah. You just can't go all white because that's No you can't do that. That's OJ. You know three victims that day. The Bronco. Bronco. Yeah. And
Starting point is 00:39:53 Yeah. That's the real victim. That's the real victim. That lady and the waiter. Yeah. Back to movies. Top grossing movie of the decade.
Starting point is 00:40:06 2010s? yeah of the 2010s Titanic that was the 90s Titanic E.T. E.T. that was just what's that movie
Starting point is 00:40:15 with the blue avatar that was the 2000s that was the aughts oh I remember all this Harry Potter 2010s?
Starting point is 00:40:23 I said this to you Harry Potter no Lord of the Rings no these are different y'all haven't even been All this. Harry Potter. I sent this to you. Harry Potter. No. Lord of the Rings. No, these are different. Y'all haven't even been in the right decade yet. I don't even care.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Just say it now. Avengers Endgame. Oh, that makes sense. There we go. That makes sense. There you go. Yeah. Of course.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Then Star Wars, The Force Awakens, and then Avengers Infinity War. Yeah. There you go. Top selling book, Fifty Shades of Grey. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:40:44 There you go. I thought that would have been earlier. Of the whole decade. According to this. It was big. And they made a movie out of it. They made a movie out of it. They made a few, didn't they?
Starting point is 00:40:53 Yeah, I guess so. Ice Bucket Challenge. Trying to be positive here. I got a lot of negative here. Yeah, positive. Ice Bucket Challenge, that was like the first ever. It was kind of fun because it was like everybody in every country was doing it. It was like we're all connected doing this fun thing that ultimately had a good cause.
Starting point is 00:41:14 And it was, I don't know. It was great. Did you do one? It was great. No, no. I've done a polar plunge, but I didn't do the ice bucket. Did you get challenged? I did, and I just didn't respond.
Starting point is 00:41:24 That's what I did. Well, now you're getting challenged. People are doing it now, and they send it to you get challenged? I did, and I just didn't respond. That's what I did too. Well, now you're getting challenged. People are doing it now, and they send it to you, and you're like, yeah, we're kind of through with that. It's like a push-up challenge. There's like, hey, you want to do this challenge? I mean, you're like, no. It's like asking me to do the Macarena.
Starting point is 00:41:39 It's like 10 years ago, man. You're like, yeah, yeah, come up with a new thing, dude. I'm not going to film myself doing 40 push-ups for whatever. I think the push-up one is actually for a guy that used to do that, that gave his life. So it's actually a good cause. But they're all good causes. But it's like all these kind of new things where you're like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:41:57 I'm not, you know, it's over. We challenge. I remember a guy, oh, it was social media, and it was everybody challenging everybody. And they're like, oh, it was social media. And it was everybody challenging everybody. And they're like, whoa, this is cool. And then it was just- It's funny how quick we get over stuff. Well, it's too much.
Starting point is 00:42:13 So it'll be a month of that's every single day. And then you kind of go, all right. Yeah. It was an eight-week period in 2014. $115 million was raised. Yeah. They saw a 30% increase in funding. That all right. Yeah. It was an eight-week period in 2014. $115 million was raised. Yeah. They saw a 30% increase in funding. That's great.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Yeah. Only 30%? That means like- I mean, I did it, but I didn't give any money. Yeah. Most people did it and didn't give any money. Yeah. The guy who did it-
Starting point is 00:42:38 I was going to say, the guy who started that, he drowned. Really? It's true. Really? They started it? He died. Doing an ice bucket challenge? No.
Starting point is 00:42:46 He fell off a boat or something. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. I did not know that. I didn't know that. I'm not even joking. Yeah. I hope not.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Wow. I mean, also, I could be wrong. But I remembered that information, and it felt real. He had ALS. Multiple sources. Right? I guess so. But he died.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Okay. You know the guy that invented the Segway? Rode a Segway off a cliff and died? Yeah. How did he ride off a cliff? He was trying to
Starting point is 00:43:14 ride on the cliff on a Segway. Ride down it? No, he was just trying to hang out around the top. This is impressive technology. Watch. And then it kind of took off
Starting point is 00:43:24 and then, wow. I is impressive technology. Watch. And then it kind of took off. And then, wow. I don't know. In 2014, they had a Philadelphia Cup called the Trocadero. Hannibal Buress
Starting point is 00:43:34 did his routine about Bill Cosby. Yeah. He'd been doing it for six months, but somebody recorded it, uploaded it, and then...
Starting point is 00:43:41 Cosby's in jail. It is crazy that he's in jail because of a stand-up comedy set that someone recorded in the back of a room that's like it would never have happened
Starting point is 00:43:48 if there wasn't smartphones out everywhere and it's completely viral it's crazy yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:43:56 yeah changed Cosby's life a little bit I mean how crazy is that like it's obviously but it's
Starting point is 00:44:04 isn't he touring again yeah i think he's for once too and then uh but it's he's yeah i i don't know if i talked we've talked about but like it's crazy to me that he's he's someone that like joe paterno got killed i mean he killed died immediately when all that stuff came like it was almost like the weight of all that was just on him and then it's out and then i mean it was like two months, he's gone. And Cosby's that old. And this dude is like, I might tour. And you're like, this guy might live for 40 more years.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Yeah. He just does his, you know, he's just out there. Out of spite. Yeah, yeah. In 2015, BuzzFeed posted an article featuring an image of a striped dress and asked viewers to vote on the color of it. Oh, man. White and gold or blue and black.

Starting point is 00:48:32 That's my thing that I always said was, in a hurricane, they tell you, you got to be careful. Please help out old people and babies. And I left my wife with both of those things. In 2014, Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 vanished. vanished yeah still one of the craziest things have you watched the thing on that though no they went they just drove uh the pilots did like wanted to do this i think one pilot not both but one was it's like committed suicide oh really i watched the story i thought that was a different flight i thought it was this
Starting point is 00:49:06 one because i thought they did find pieces of this plane they did find pieces of that flight i thought there was a different one the pilot committed suicide drove into a mountain or something no no this one i believe he just kept going super high yeah and so i almost think every you almost kind of like everybody falls asleep and then you kind of die like that like and then that's what he wanted to do and then eventually it ran out of fuel and and so that's why they had no idea where it was because it was like he was just so high you could look that up and see if that's exactly the case but i thought i watched something on there's these youtube videos about airplane crashes yeah that they re-show them like you know uh you can hear some of them where they talk
Starting point is 00:49:50 and it's computer generated and so it shows you like exactly what happens it's got it's pretty interesting uh just you know like not that you want to watch these. No. You realize that most. I fly like twice a week. Yeah. But your biggest fear of flying is, you know, like the engine falls off and you just fall out of the ground. Like it's like that just doesn't. Yeah. And it's always a mistake. And that is, there's no, you can't, you got to just hope that doesn't happen.
Starting point is 00:50:19 But it's very rare for this stuff to happen. They just don't do this. And then it's usually if something goes wrong and it's – I would say to be in a plane crash, being the worst thing ever as that would be, your odds are like lottery odds. Right. You're – if you – I always try to think of the – No, I think Malaysia, not long after that,
Starting point is 00:50:44 another Malaysian air flight got shot out of the No I think Malaysia Not long after that Another Malaysian air flight Got shot out of the sky Above Ukraine Yeah Oh Same airline Yeah Yeah
Starting point is 00:50:51 Man Bad decade for them huh Yeah did it say why I mean it's a bad year So as far as I can tell Just from scrolling through There's all kinds of theories Yeah
Starting point is 00:50:59 But there's not like An officially accepted answer Yeah Of what exactly happened I have one Well that's actually The best one i've heard yeah you know just fly up and then everybody passes out dies he dies wasn't there a golfer
Starting point is 00:51:12 that died on a flight and they thought that happened stewart yeah so they do it uh yeah the the they lose cabin and they fight they fly up next to him and then they're just all gone. So sad. Yeah. And then he was amazing. And I remember- I remember his outfits, man. Yeah, yeah. I remember when he died.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Like, I remember that. Me too. And I remember just thinking, I was like, when you heard Hal and you're like, I thought about his death a lot for some reason.
Starting point is 00:51:40 It was when I, I feel almost like, when was it, 92? I don't know. It was like one of the- A little later. 90, yeah, maybe. It's one of those that-
Starting point is 00:51:51 99. 99, yeah. It's like, I don't know, you just hear about it, and maybe I was old enough to be like, wow. Yeah. That's crazy, you know? Yeah, 22? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:02 22, yeah. I was old enough. I was 20. 20. Yeah. Yeah. 22? Yeah. Yeah. I was old enough. I was 20. 20. Yeah. Yeah. A couple of crazy things that happened at the VMAs decade.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Lady Gaga wore a meat dress. Kanye, Taylor Swift. That was the last decade. We took a bath in the aughts. It's crazy. I agree with you. It's nuts. That last with you. It's nuts. That last decade, just... It's like the first decade that I've been out of touch.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Yeah. 2010. Yeah. What? Yeah. And Miley Cyrus did the thing with Robin Thicke where she kind of shed her Hannah Montana image. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yeah. She did that art. You remember the hide your kids, hide your wife? Yeah. Oh, that guy ruled. Antoine Dodson? Antoine Dodson. He's now a substitute teacher in Huntsville.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Oh, really? Yeah. Did he try to do comedy or anything? I don't know. I remember Angela interviewed him or something. But he was like the hot, they made a song about it. Oh, I remember. Everything was auto-tuned?
Starting point is 00:53:05 Yeah. I bought that auto-tuned song on iTunes, and I played it all the time. Hodge Kids, Hodge White. Yeah. What was it? I forget. So it was a guy. He lived in the projects in Huntsville, and they interviewed him on the news.
Starting point is 00:53:18 It was like someone loose. Yeah. Someone was loose, and he goes, you need to hide your kids, hide your wife. Hide your wife. And they're attacking everyone out here or something. Yeah. Someone was loose, and he goes, hide your kids. Hide your wife. Hide your wife. And they're like attacking everyone out here or something. Yeah, yeah. And it was like, yeah, and so it just went viral. Good for him.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Hamilton became the highest grossing musical of all time. It made $3.3 million over an eight-week performance. Still couldn't pay me to watch it, but. Really? I'm on ball. I guess I'll watch it on TV. It's on Disney Plus, dude. You can go watch it right now.
Starting point is 00:53:47 If it was Canadian Parliament, would you? Oh, yeah, that gets me going. Love that. I never watch Hamilton either. I just don't think I care. Musicals are just tough. They're just too sincere. People love them.
Starting point is 00:54:02 I try to watch five minutes of it. I go, I'm sure this is great, i mean i can't i can't watch some of those things where i'm like this stinks everyone's dumb i'm like i'm sure i'm dumb yeah i just it's not it's not my thing they're just they're singing when they should be talking dumb they're not even singing they're rapping they're rapping so it's like oh oh, dude. I know the – what was the other one that the South Park people did? Oh, the Book of Mormon? Yeah. And everybody was like, it's the best thing.
Starting point is 00:54:33 And I'm like – I never saw it. Then I'm like, I just don't care anymore. South Park's one that I missed out on. Everybody loves South Park. Yeah. And I'll hear – It's still on. I always like it being told to me, the episodes being told to me.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Like Big J would always tell me the episodes. And I'm like like that's the funniest thing i've ever heard soder loves it so yes like i get like i love hearing them tell me and i'm like god i laugh so hard but when i watch it i'm just like i just never can get into it for some reason but i mean i get like the it's very funny. It's just going to be like, if you're not into cartoons, you're like, I'm just not, you know. I was into Family Guy, but. Yeah, South Park, every time I watched it, I was like, this is brilliant. It's hilarious. Then I just never watch it.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Yeah. Really. For whatever reason. Family Guy always made me laugh harder. Love Family Guy. Simpsons? I love The Simpsons. Well, the eight-year heyday yeah like seasons
Starting point is 00:55:27 three to nine two to nine like i said seven years yeah two to ten yeah both were both examples you gave were less than eight years i know i was really dancing around that little eight year in your period. Two to three? Yeah. In your period. Those are my days. At the Oscars, the Moonlight La La Land mix-up. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That was incredible.
Starting point is 00:55:54 That was incredible. I'll be honest with you, this was probably the last good Oscars. You called me. Yeah. I was on the phone with someone, so I paused it, and then you called me right after, and you said,
Starting point is 00:56:04 did you just see that? And I was like, no, I paused it. And then you called me right after and you said, did you just see that? And I was like, no, I missed it. And then I said, I cannot believe I missed that. And then you called me back and you're like, you know, if you paused it, or maybe it already played forward. You said you could still rewatch it. And then I rewound it and saw it. But you broke that news to me.
Starting point is 00:56:20 Oh, yeah. I remember that. Who was the guy that did it? Warren Beatty. Warren Beatty, yeah. I'll be honest with you. I almost think that's the last one I watched. Yeah. that news to me oh yeah i remember that who was the guy that did it warren baity warren baity yeah i'll be honest i almost think that's the last one i watched yeah last oscars like i think it's been just the worst since then uh-huh but that was like the first one where they were at least doing some movies that you're like i've heard of those movies or moonlight or i don't think i ever saw
Starting point is 00:56:40 moonlight but it was at least the last run then they started getting into movies you're like i don't even know your five movies I've never heard of, which shows you the disconnect with Hollywood to be like, you're only pumping out. But they can't just do every superhero movie. They're only making superhero movies, and they don't promote the real movies they're making. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:56:59 I agree with you. They don't promote it. So whatever good movie they want to do all those movies are super heavy too by the way yeah everyone that gets it is like the heaviest yeah movie of all time and so they're pumping this out to people and then they're like why is no one watching oscars you're like we you don't even advertise these movies this movie wins an oscar and i don't know if they make enough money to be the budget yeah you have to live in uh the upper west side of manhattan to walk to be able to see it yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:57:30 so like what that you're you're killing your own into your art form by just going we want to make billions here so there's a point you're like then don't do the oscars anymore you think the oscars done before our lifetime like it just goes like people are just done with i hope not because it's so great everybody loves it well because it's motivation to make good movies that won't make a ton of money yeah you know i don't think it'll go i think it'll they'll change best actor best actress and it'll just be best actor best person yeah which i best i like i it sucks it'll be one less award but it should be that way i think yeah i think it made sense before when every leading man there was only like
Starting point is 00:58:10 there was no leading woman roles but now that it's you know well you should make that best leading character than best yeah you know so there's still awards but they they need to do oscars yeah no one's watching these and so you got to do something yeah like there's a point you go what are you doing like you know no one's watching you at all they almost got like the arrogance of the masters but the masters everybody watches like the masters has an arrogance of, well, we're not going to do commercials this year. He goes, well, we'll just put it out with no commercials. We don't care. We have money for all of it.
Starting point is 00:58:49 That's what they did one year. They just put it out with no commercials. Wow. They could care less. That's awesome. Because it's the amount of money that they have. And the Oscars has that kind of attitude. And I don't know.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Do they have the money? I don't know what it is. I don't know, but it's so heavy. You speak of movies like Forrest Gump or Gladiator or Braveheart wouldn't win Best Picture. And those were more mainstream. They're still not dumb movies, but... Forrest Gump's an amazing, amazing movie.
Starting point is 00:59:15 Yeah. But it's like, go make that amazing movie. I'd love if those movies came back. Did not do well in China. What's that? Forrest Gump did not do well in China because they just didn't get the references. That's right.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Yeah. So. But now the movies are very heavy and. Yeah. Yeah. You have to like, it has to be.
Starting point is 00:59:32 And the ceremonies are heavy. Someone with Down Syndrome who discovers that, you know, they're polyamorous. Yeah. And then get shot in the head.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Yeah. That's pretty good. Save that. Yeah. You can make a movie. Yeah. Just check all the... And he's bitten by a spider.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Yeah, yeah. But he doesn't become Spider-Man because he just got bit by a spider. It's about the other guy that got bit by the same spider, but I guess Peter Parker got all the... Radioactive blood was gone
Starting point is 01:00:03 and I just got bit by a spider. He just got real itchy for a bit. Got real itchy. The whole show was going like this. It just followed him dying of cancer from radio. It's a movie called Scratch. The whole show was his... Same spider, not the same potent.
Starting point is 01:00:19 Yeah. Ow. Jeez. Eight of the ten years of the decade, the top three shows were the same. NCIS, The Big Bang Theory, and Sunday Night Football. Sunday Night Football is not a show. No particular order. I mean, they were all number one, but they were all top three.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Yeah, they always throw sports in there, and you're like, come on. Yeah, it's not fair. Yeah. The broadcast of the Patriots-Ceball Super Bowl was the most watched program in American television history. It had, at its peak, 120 million people in America. That same year, the Cricket World Cup had 2.2 billion people. That's more.
Starting point is 01:00:56 Yeah. That's so crazy. Yeah. That's crazy. 2.2 billion. I couldn't tell you a thing about cricket. I don't know how it's played. An Australian tried to explain it to me, and then I was like, what?
Starting point is 01:01:08 Do it again. And then he did it again. I was like, I got to go. I have no idea what. Yeah, I'll see you later, man. Yeah, I got to go. It's a mix of baseball a little bit, right? There's got to be some baseball in there.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Yeah, they got to throw. The bowler, which is the pitcher, I think is trying to knock down the little sticks behind the batter. Yeah. That's all I got. Is it baseball with two sports, with two bases, basically? Swedish baseball. Well, this is very funny. I saw this.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Swedish baseball. So some guy, when Americans were inventing baseball, some guy from a different country, I think Sweden, came over and learned it and then brought it back and completely botched it, trying to explain it. Yes. So there's this whole other sport based on his misinterpretation of how baseball actually worked. And I think the bases are aligned like this,
Starting point is 01:01:54 like first bases to the left. And then he just forgot how the field was supposed to look and taught the whole country that. Abner Doubleday? In Sweden? Yes, Sweden. I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 01:02:05 That's how they play baseball? There's a league that's thriving and people play it. It's just like wonky baseball. That's so Swedish. I love it. Go here, then go there. Go around first base to come home. Your homestead.
Starting point is 01:02:21 And then we have a sauna. We have a group sauna. The home is a sauna sauna that's the foul line parting path we all celebrate with cured fish i love just that guy come back he goes no no where's first place he goes i think it's in the middle yeah it's i mean even someone that's never heard of the game goes well why would they do that oh it's finland it's finland sorry sweden is there no sweden's like come on man we're crushing it yeah dude is there we have the
Starting point is 01:02:50 internet oh yeah yeah i can pull that picture in all right look at that picture so i love the home field they stand they're like where's the dugout they're but they're behind the person what is that guy doing it makes kind of no sense looking at it where's the pitcher? They're behind the person. What is that guy doing? It makes kind of no sense looking at it. Where's the pitcher at? Is he pitching right next to him? I don't know. It looks like there's a guy with a bat going to hit a guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:12 There's a batter facing a guy with a baseball club. Is there a video of this? Yeah, I can find some. Yeah, that's so cool. I love this. I love it, too. Like, there should be more. Why don't they do more of it, you know?
Starting point is 01:03:28 If you're listening, it's home. First base is left of where the pitcher's mound is. Here we are. And then you run around the pitcher's mound, pitch the ball vertically. Oh, you throw it up and hit it. Yeah. Is he on your team? You're allowed three strikes.
Starting point is 01:03:49 A guy just dove. There's no home plate. The whole field is an infield. It just looks so goofy to me. And I'm sure that American baseball looks goofy to them. Do you want to know the difference between Finnish people and Japanese people? Japanese people were like, no, we get it.
Starting point is 01:04:05 We'll perfect it. Yeah. We'll make our own league. Finnish people were like, well, we all just run around. That's fine. You don't have to run. You can decide I'm not going to run.
Starting point is 01:04:14 Why is everyone diving? I don't know. You'd have to dive into these rules. But the... This is insane. There's a guy just throwing the ball up in the air, and then a batter runs over and hits it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:32 And, I mean, there – well, the idea of it is if one bad pitch equals a walk. But the idea that you can hit it and then go, ah, that wasn't a good hit. I'm going to – you don't have to run. You hit the ball. They start playing it, and then you go, nah, I'm good. I'm going to wait and see if I can do another one. You allowed all three strikes. That's a whole other thing we got to look at.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Finnish baseball. I had never heard of that. That's good. The male athlete of the decade. They're all wearing clam diggers. Did you notice that? What are clam diggers? Sounds like a
Starting point is 01:05:07 racist word to be honest. It sounds like you're like, Graham, I don't think we can say that. It's a short that goes flood pants. Oh yeah. Yeah. I just went with you.
Starting point is 01:05:21 Whatever would make this stop, I was trying to do it. I'm trying to let the audience know, listeners, what they were wearing. I'm sorry about that. Male athlete of the decade, do you know, Aaron? If you weren't going to look this sport up because I said the first base was next to the pitching mound, I don't think you're going to go, oh got to see who these clam digger pants are now. I don't think that's the thing that's going to get you to look them up. They're like capris, by the way.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Yeah. Capris. Now they're definitely not going to look up. They're like, I get it, basically. Every once in a while, I'll say something and be like, oh, yeah, I am from a different country. Yeah. It's like weird little things like that.
Starting point is 01:06:03 Yeah, yeah. You said athlete of the decade yeah 2000 of the 2010s Michael Phelps it's gotta be LeBron it's LeBron
Starting point is 01:06:12 you've been Tiger Woods for the last four decades well he's been dominant for a while Tiger Woods that's one thing I do remember Tiger Woods
Starting point is 01:06:18 was not dominant over the past decade 2010s he won the Masters he won 2008 he won the Masters which he won 2008 he won the masters uh which won masters but it's an unreal masters that he won but it doesn't i think he had one so good it gets counted in the next decade but i think one year he got player of the year too in the 2010s no one really kind of
Starting point is 01:06:40 everybody kind of ignores that but but he was, you know. Female athlete of the decade, Serena Williams. Yeah, got to be. The Cubs broke over a 100-year streak and won the World Series in 2016. That was awesome. I was living in L.A., and I went to go. I specifically asked my Chicago friend. I was like, can I hang out with you tonight?
Starting point is 01:07:04 Steve Bartman? Yes. That's where he's underground he's living under i don't uh i don't think they deserve it for what they did to steve bartman yeah that was nuts i agree see that 30 for 30 he like lives in alaska yeah so that's what i mean so i don't like you can't tell me like well the city deserves it but y'all ruined a guy's life yeah well the whole city didn't a couple no no no chicago tribune they represent the whole city didn't. A couple. No, no, no. Chicago Tribune, they represent the whole city. Go talk to any of these people from Chicago.
Starting point is 01:07:31 I was in Chicago when Bartman happened. That's where I was working when I started comedy. They ruined that guy's life. They put his address in the newspaper. They did? Yeah. That's nuts. Where he works.
Starting point is 01:07:43 And everybody thought that's okay. And everybody said good that's what the chicago and i was and i remember just going like what are you and wilbon on pti which i love kornheiser i love pti but wilbon would i mean for 10 years would just still bring a bartman with like hate in his voice and then finally like is like all right well like you know yeah we were kind of mean to him. They're like, you shouldn't have been that mean to him. You're like, this guy lives, yeah, if he lives in a lot, you've ruined a person's life.
Starting point is 01:08:12 And 15 years later, you can kind of go, oh, yeah, I probably went too hard on him. Well, his life's over now. He lives a different life because of people like you. Well, he's probably okay. He just changed his name and he lives in a terrible place. That's all men and no women. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure he's probably okay. He just changed his name and he lives in a terrible place. That's all men and no women. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:28 I'm sure he's fine. It's fine. He never got money off of it, never got anything. Yeah. That's very interesting. Seventh largest gathering in human history. Yeah, the Cubs victory parade. Five million people were out there on the streets. It was insane.
Starting point is 01:08:41 The seventh largest gathering in human history. I had no idea. It was a big, largest gathering oh my human history idea it was a big big thing wow looks like it's out in the country the only well this is just one stage of i mean there's stuff going on i would say city if imagine if five million that's five million people that ruined steve bartman okay they i would think i honestly unless i would i would go to steve bartman and i would celebrate the cubs winning if steve bartman told me it was okay if he goes i made me really happy and i'll say then i'll then i'm happy that they won only reason i for some reason just maybe because i lived there i i only think uh and through his eyes because they they they it was they did to
Starting point is 01:09:28 him was so wrong they sent him a ring they did all this and they try to do all this stuff and it's like come on man yeah if you don't know worthy of such an honor oh this is what he said here's his statement although i do not consider myself worthy of such an honor i am deeply moved and sincerely grateful to receive an official Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series championship ring. They gave him a ring. I am fully aware of the historical significance and appreciate the symbolism the ring represents on multiple levels.
Starting point is 01:09:54 My family and I will cherish for generations. Most meaningful, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I am relieved and hopeful that the saga of the 2003 foul ball incident surrounding my family and me is finally over. 13 years. So 13 years he had to live with just... His family's just uprooted. Uprooted.
Starting point is 01:10:13 Yeah. 13 years and people loved it. It's not like everyone is like, hey guys, let's calm down. The main TV shows agreed that all of it was fine. That's the insanity. That's what makes me so mad. And that's why I don't think they ever even deserved it. That's why I like it.
Starting point is 01:10:33 Yeah. That's why, I mean, I could care less that they win because of that. Yeah. Because that's disgusting that they would ever do that in a million years. I love that Bartman's moved on more than you have yeah yeah i will cherish this come on guys let's just calm down we're like you're like if bartman says it's okay then i'll say it's okay well here's here's a quote where he says it's okay it's disgusting i'll never live it down bartman you don't know what you're talking about buddy
Starting point is 01:11:02 what was the headline at the top it was something like bartman asked for uh i don't know what you're talking about, buddy. What was the headline at the top? It was something like, Bartman asked for, I don't know, something. Oh, he asked for forgiveness? Yeah, or something. I don't like that he's having to ask for forgiveness. No, he didn't ask for forgiveness. For the people of Chicago. He asked for, oh, privacy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:20 I request the media please restrict my privacy to privacy of my family. I will not participate in interviews at this time I meant the actual headline but makes a moving statement about forgiveness I remember a meme going around after they won that was like we forgive you now and you want to be like how about he forgives you
Starting point is 01:11:38 it's that attitude is like just disgusting I don't get into it with Chicago people I have theories about Chicago them sports I'm a Vandy fan I always remember that is just disgusting. I don't get into it with Chicago people in here. I have theories about Chicago, them sports. I'm a Vandy fan. I always remember that. I go through everything.
Starting point is 01:11:53 But Chicago, for some reason, they think they're one of the greatest, they're the greatest sports cities in the world. They didn't win a ring for 100 years with the cubs and for some reason they think they deserved it every year the the white socks white socks has done the best the bears won once one time that's right and they think they're the greatest organization ever well they won a few times in the 1930s before they wore helmets there you go so but like they they have this like history of all this stuff and you, your teams all are terrible.
Starting point is 01:12:27 Your baseball team's so bad that you're blaming just anybody and everybody but the team. You blamed a goat. You blamed, you know, there's always some kind of thing. Then you ruin a guy's life. It can't be their fault. You lost that game. You were up.
Starting point is 01:12:44 You lost that game and lost the next game. But it's not the team's fault. It's that guy that loves the team more than any of the people around him. So let's blame him. No one wants to take up for what they do. Jay Cutler was in Chicago. It's his fault. It's no one else's fault.
Starting point is 01:13:03 They brought in Jay Cutler. He's the only one that could have been – that ruined everything. Wasn't – I understand being mad at Jay Cutler, being mad at your quarterback that you can think that's good. But what point do you go, let's start looking at the team, the organization? Is it – can it all be Jay Cutler's fault? Can it all be this kind of thing? Can everything always be someone else's fault?
Starting point is 01:13:24 And you keep not winning but you keep blaming players and people in the crowd yeah i think the second goat you publish somebody's home address in a paper yeah you probably overstepped a little bit yeah and everybody goes good is this because of your friends with jay cut Cutler now? He's my best friend. Some of it. Jay Cutler always defended for that because of Vandy. He did more for us than he beat Tennessee the first time. But I would have stuff with that Vandy where I was always looking at when Vandy was going through stuff and everybody got mad at Derek Mason
Starting point is 01:13:59 and I thought, there's a point you got to go, guys, we can't be blaming. These coaches, they can maybe not be – it's not the coach that's working out. Not saying that the coach is the problem. There's a point that you got to go, something's not going good upstairs. Like, they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing. Because you just keep hiring the same person. They go, well, he doesn't work either. So what's the problem?
Starting point is 01:14:19 You're like, it can't be. Titans had a little bit of that where I thought, you're like, you want a new coach? And then you start chasing down this thing where you go, we need a new coach. And you go, I think it's got to be something higher. Because if you've got a good organization, then you tend to win. I mean, you look at Tampa. Like, you know, Tampa Bay, Tampa, the Rays, they've won. You know, they had these organizations that were like, these things are kind of good.
Starting point is 01:14:44 Cleveland Browns, another one. Like, what did they aim the caps yours was so bad that you get this guy that couldn't win there went to miami one and came back and at least won one more but you you know there's a point where you go like i mean y'all dude y'all had it and y'all these organizations the cleveland teams i want to win more than i don't know it's the owner's fault there's not a lot of money in a town that's built on steel i don't blame i don't blame that's what cleveland i i want to win more than chicago but chicago is like get it i mean come on man like y'all just every like can you believe we're not winning again? Yeah. You've never won. Yeah. I believe you will never win. That's how much,
Starting point is 01:15:27 that's how confident I am. I was shocked you won one in 100 years. I love how they broke up the 98 Bulls in 99 because they're like, we're going to rebuild. Yeah. Look at that. They broke that up.
Starting point is 01:15:37 Look at that, how they do with the Bulls. They were all going to come back. And they go, that's enough of that? That's enough of that. That's what they did. I agree.
Starting point is 01:15:43 That's what I think they did with Tom Brady. And I think you get, in the That's what I think they did with Tom Brady. And I think you get in the Patriots, I think Belichick, Brady, they're just like people don't want – they weirdly want change too much. So instead of like paying that guy, Brady should be able to like, if he wants to die in a game, let him do it. If you lose eight playoffs in a row, that's okay. Then we lose eight playoffs in a row, that's okay. Then we lose eight playoffs in a row. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:08 That guy gave us six Super Bowls, and we're tied as the most ever. So, let's – and then now he's got more than every franchise. Instead, y'all rushed him off, and then he went and won it. I don't know. Patriots won three Super Bowls. There you go. In the decade. Three of them.
Starting point is 01:16:22 The Warriors and Cavs played in four straight NBA championships. Yeah. A big thing, LeBron played nine straight finals. That's insane. Yeah. That's the thing. Even though he didn't win them, that's crazy. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:16:33 That's crazy. Yes. The 2018-2019 Toronto Raptors won their first NBA championship. Woo! I flew home to watch it at Comedy Bar in Toronto. I flew back to Toronto. I'm not from there. It was just awesome.
Starting point is 01:16:48 Yeah. It was so awesome. That one was exciting. It was the best. But that's an organization that's really good. Yes. We have a problem because no one wants, free agents don't want to come to Canada because they're like, oh, I got to get a passport.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Yeah. But it was like one good player showed that like, oh, y'all could win a bunch, actually. Y'all have a great organization. Great organization. Unless that guy left. Did that guy leave? Kawhi Leonard?
Starting point is 01:17:11 Right away, yes. Not Kawhi Leonard, though. The GM or something? No, he stayed. He stayed. Oh, he did? Messiah Joyce, he resigned. He got like a ton of-
Starting point is 01:17:18 He basically is like the king of the company now. He can do it anywhere he wants. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Most dominant college athletic program, Vanderbilt. Won two national championships in baseball. Went to five bowl games. Had two back-to-back non-win seasons.
Starting point is 01:17:34 It was a big year for us. Big decade. Won the SEC basketball tournament in 2012. Vanderbilt is the most winning. Remember I called you about that? I was at Bed Bath & Beyond. Yeah, I was at – I've never heard of that college.
Starting point is 01:17:47 I was in Canada. I think I was in Canada. I thought that was the weekend that Marin tweeted about you in Michigan. 2012, maybe. No, when that game was on, you know what? We lost that weekend. So the weekend Marin tweeted that out. That's right.
Starting point is 01:18:06 I had a bunch of texts. I saw the game before my show, and then we lost to, I want to say, Wisconsin. That's right. You're right. And then I saw these texts. I was like, golly. All these Twitter notifications. I was like, is everybody just making fun of me because Vanderbilt lost or something?
Starting point is 01:18:19 And it was the Marin thing. But the 2012 one. That was the same year. Oh, it was? Yeah. We won the SEC, and then we got put out by Wisconsin. Yes. But the 2012 one. That was the same year. Oh, it was? Yeah. We won the SEC, and then we got put out by Wisconsin. Yes. In the tournament.
Starting point is 01:18:29 So that was – okay, yeah, yeah. And then it was. But that was the year we won the SEC championship. I was like, this is not good. Like, you know, but – Because he was ready for the coach to leave. Yeah. And he knew that would keep him there.
Starting point is 01:18:42 Well, it was – you know, you do think there's times for changes and stuff. Yeah. And he knew that would keep him there. Well, it was, you know, you do think there's times for changes and stuff. Yeah. Now, is Vandy NCAA? Yeah. Division I? Yeah. Barely. They're on the cusp.
