Welcome, everybody. We're here. This was, we got in, I got in today. A lot of snow. Yeah. In Nashville. I feel like I gotta get into it. You like the snow?

Huh? Get into it in what way? gotta get into it. You like the snow? Huh? Get into it in what way? Just get into it, wake up. No, I went to, well, I woke up at like 10,

we got here at like 10 this morning and I fell asleep and I got here and then so now I'm up. Do I like, I don't know, I like snow, I guess.

You guys got, I saw the official numbers this morning, Brentwood got just under seven inches, Nashville airport, close to where you live, 1.4. Yeah, my Abigail yeah my Abigail my sister said I mean she was like they got nothing in old Hickory it was a joke in my neighborhood that's why when you were like hey just be warned our neighborhood's pretty bad I was like dude it's nothing out here it's like a different place yeah 100 that's crazy

yeah not that far no I mean I yeah I didn, I didn't even, I was like, what? Like, Abigail said that. Yeah, because we were like, all right, is everybody going to make it? Like, I don't, you know. I mean, we had to stop our bus at the beginning of the neighborhood because it was just kind of tough to get all the way back here. I mean, there's so much snow here. Yeah. That's crazy.

You know what I notice is a big problem is people don't wipe the snow off the top of their car. And I'm driving behind people, and it's like i'm dodging huge pieces of ice and snow it's a real problem i think it's against the law that was me in front of you isn't it against the law i think so i think you're supposed to it should be man yeah and they just let it that's how they get it off well they're driving down the interstate it's just smoke it's you know it's's becoming gas. Just big pieces. 18-wheelers, ice falling off of it.

Well, how they can't get up there on 18-wheelers. Wow, you should have thought about that when you got an 18-wheeler. Yeah. Get a ladder. Get a ladder. Try to find a bridge that's just close enough, just perfect, and just kind of go right under it like you're a bear scratching your back. You have to do some work but like i need a i need one to be just you know just right enough half an inch of clearance there has to be

a bridge that's like that's good and he just goes all of that felt good one car behind him i was in roland oak virginia with leanne mor and there's, supposedly we're going to get a full, I don't know how much they got, but all flights were canceled. I was supposed to fly home at 6 a.m. yesterday, right before it hit. They canceled all the flights the night before, so I went to the airport as soon as I got off stage and rented a car and drove home. Oh, really? Yeah, I drove all night and got home just when it changed from rain to snow. Oh, wow. Yeah.

What time did you get home? Like 4 a.m. Oh, this morning? No, the night before. Oh. Yesterday morning. Yeah. Your flight was at 6 a.m. the next day?

Yeah, and it wasn't hitting Roanoke until like 9, so we thought, well, we'll at least get out of Roanoke. We thought we'd get stuck in Atlanta. Yeah. And it's almost like that little airport, just like, you know what? No reason to go to work for a couple hours. Yeah'd get stuck in Atlanta. Yeah. And it's almost like that little airport just like, you know what? No reason to go to work for a couple hours. Yeah. Just shut everything down.

Yeah. I mean, they just shut down every flight. Yeah. That's tough. Yeah, I mean, it was fun being on a bus because it was like you're just like you're not having to deal with like a plane. I mean, you're on a bus, so you don't want to get stuck or something. But it's snow. Rick here, bus driver, but I mean, he're on a bus, so you don't want to get stuck or something. But it's snow.

Ricky, our bus driver, but I mean, he drove through the night. Yeah, he was great. I feel like nothing phases him. He's just seen it all. Yeah, exactly. No, they get stuck. I mean, you go drive up in Canada and stuff like that. I mean, they have to drive.

There's a bus you got to drive. It's nice having a bus because it's nice just being like, all right, I can know i don't know not going to the airport and then you're just in the bus and i don't know there's just you kind of got everything there so you're you know you just feel like if you ever get stuck you'd be like all right we got all our stuff here yeah obviously a bus would be better than a car uh yeah that's what i drove it this weekend drove my minivan to iowa and back to that yeah west wing no i had somebody else in the car with me i'm a buddy joe kelly and i felt weird watching a show he doesn't know about yeah y'all found one together okay you want to go to the office you're gonna run back through seinfeld we just had the jet was he driving i drove the

whole way so you didn't feel weird about watching the tv while you drove just just because he hadn't seen the show that's what made you feel weird about it yeah of course yeah because i pull it up i want to make this clear i don't i'm not like i have it up on my lap and i'm looking down i got picture in picture on my phone. So I got Google Maps up and then I got a little small little corner is the West Wing or whatever show. So you had to lean in to watch it. No, I got it up on the little mount right in my car.

And every now and then, you know, the West Wing, what's great about it is it's not very visual. So you can just kind of listen to it. And then every now and then you just kind of peek over and see what's going on and then look back this is a great description of a tv show you don't have to really watch it it's more of a listening oh that's good so has uh i can be bored with my eyes and my ears has succession passed it now oh succession was amazing man but didn't you say it was your new favorite show oh i mean i think dude its highs are about as good as it gets i don't know if you've seen succession

i don't know if you'd like it i don't i i could be on my way down just enjoying stuff from here on out i could be on my way out just in general yeah just and yeah it's just kind of like i'm not i'm not as good as except like uh getting new things when was the last show or ted lasso yeah that was the last one you got kind of passionate about and you liked it yeah and you didn't even watch the new season did you no not yet i will i will watch the new season it's like you get you just got to get caught i don't know if it's if it's just me and like if it's's, I don't know, like, you know what I mean? I look,

I have Narcos I love. And like this one, I just haven't started yet. You know, I'm having trouble like paying attention to them. I'm having trouble like, I was like talking to someone, Joey McCullough who's with us again,

but like, I was like watching stuff. I was like, this stuff doesn't like stick with me. I watch it. And then it's just like, I didn't watch it. We watched a bunch of matrix at the, our unit, our unit goes, we saw matrix at the movie theater and i don't

remember i might as well not have went like it just meant nothing to me uh-huh like i just left and it's like did you have a good time though the new one yeah the new one oh okay i don't even really know i mean the other ones it's like well you just learned a couple weeks ago that was a simulation yeah i don't even understand the whole thing but i the other ones, it's like. Well, you just learned a couple weeks ago that it was a simulation. Yeah, I don't even understand the whole thing. But I mean, it's like I can just go to, it just doesn't stick with me. Yeah. I don't soak it in.

I'm not, I'm just kind of thinking. I'm wanting my brain. I mean, there could be stuff wrong with me. I mean, are people not supposed to do that? I don't have no. You definitely wouldn't like Succession thenion it's a very high effort show yeah it's like you gotta settle in let's pay attention

to everything that's going on I think that's not and Narcos would be hard to watch on the road I like Narcos it's all a different language I love Narcos but I don't know it might just be I don't think it's like I'm just busier than I've

like I just have too much on my mind and that it's like hard for me to even find the time to do it and if I do find the time I want to relax and I don't want to be

invested in maybe that's it maybe that's it you have a career and a family dude yeah and I have neither so I can enjoy these shows

I'm trying to get both everyone watches everything all the time in the world well that's why people watch you go back and watch Seinfeld and watch all these old jokes you're like it's easy put it on

that's all you're trying to do that's what this podcast is let people zone in and out, you know? Let's read some comments from you guys. First up, Kristen Rucker. I know a Rucker. Great episode, guys. The beginning was so relatable from Aaron eating a whole tray of brownies,

even though he couldn't taste them. It was an incredibly hilarious MRI discussion, like loading a musket to Nate's inability to stop eating sugar unless he finds out there's something seriously wrong. And Henry Cho was the icing on the cake. I look forward to listening every week, but this one was truly great. Thank you, Kristen. Number one, Critter.

Henry Cho is very enjoyable, and now that I know how hard he worked and sacrificed prior to us as his family, I admire his character as well as respect his talent. He's just good people. Yep. He moved everybody back here. Yeah. It's a big move.

It's good. Kevin McAllister, 85. I saw the Instagram story about the toboggan before I got the chance to catch up on this podcast. And now that I'm hearing you guys talk about it, I can't keep it together. As a Canadian, I have never heard of a, heard a toke, T-O-Q-E.

I think it's toke. A toke called toboggan in my life. Watching people say toboggan so naturally in conversation was a trip and had me laughing so hard. Thank you for the completely random moment made my day. Yeah. A few things have polarized the listeners as much as this discussion. I don't think anything has. I think it's let's go versus hello.

That was the last thing that people have strong opinions about. Maybe that was just fun. This one's kind of fun. I know, but I'm saying, is this one getting more serious? This one got pretty serious. As serious as a discussion about what to call a hat can be. I've never heard of toke. I hadn't either.

I only have heard of toke through Dusty Slay's wife, Hannah, who's Canadian. I heard her call it that once, but who's calling it that in real life? You didn't say anything? No, I let it slide. Yeah. I used context clues. I figured out what she was talking about. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, generally speaking, it seemed like people in the South call it toboggan. Yeah. People in Canada call it toque, and the rest of the U.S. calls it a beanie. Yeah. But people will send me articles saying there's different variations. Everything's technically a beanie. Yeah.

And then a toboggan's a type of beanie. And there's a lot of different things. Knit cap, sock cap, stockinganie. Yeah. And then a toboggan is a type of beanie. There's a lot of different things. Knit cap, sock cap, stocking cap. Yeah. Stocking cap. But the poll we did,

beanie dominated because I think most of... That's what everybody does. Everybody calls it a beanie. I like that there's a lot of toboggans. Yeah. That does make me feel good.

Yeah. But people in Canada were pretty fired up about us going to Toboggan. So if you're listening, it's 437 votes for Toboggan, 1,844 votes for Beanie, and then Toke came in last at 216 votes. Kind of probably read those wrong. For people listening at home, if you're in suspense, you just did. You did the middle first, and then you went first place in the middle, and then just who cares, 216 at the bottom.

I mean, it's the ABC. That's what the big R we got coming in third place. We have Tope, 216, Toboggan, 437, Beanie, 1844. Yeah, that would have been the way to do it for sure. You read it maybe the least exciting way you could read it, honestly. I don't know if you could pick a worse way. Because even if you, yeah, there couldn't be. That's the only way that's not good is to go 4.37, 18.44 a second,

and 2.16 at the end. 18.44 a second and 2.16 at the end. I mean, all right. Well, all right. And I didn't even think anything about it when you said it last week because that's what I call it. I call it a beanie, but I hear toboggan enough that I don't even think about it. Who started the poll? Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, people were so fired up about it that I did the poll, and I really got people fired up. Yeah. I love the different regional terms. They're really funny to me. I had a buddy in college from Wisconsin, and one day he was like, I got to fill up my water bottle at the bubbler real quick.

I was like, what are you talking about? That's crazy. Yeah. The water fountain. Bubbler. It was a bubbler. I'd never heard are you talking that's crazy yeah the water fountain bubbler is a bubbler i've never heard and where's he from uh milwaukee yeah in wisconsin yeah i might have just been that more walk is it uh the bubbler a bubbler yeah a very small little region in that in that part of the country that calls it a bubbler most of the country calls it a drinking fountain i've always called it i've always called it of the country that calls it a bubbler. Most of the country calls it a drinking fountain.

I've always called it a water fountain. I call it a water fountain. Yeah. Water fountain. Because that's what it is. You know? It's because it gives you, well, you drink out of it, though, too. Not always.

If you're filling up a water bottle out of it. You're going to drink eventually. You should be eventually a drinking fountain. That's fair. Eventually a drinking fountain. fair eventually a drink yeah watering your plants well i mean you're a nut job you take your plants up there and you you're staying in line with a pot like that's what you would be you'd be there's a line of kids just waiting for the turns and you're like four back and you got just a plot just a pot

and then you just set it up there and just turn it on, and you got to bend it over a little bit because the stream's not high enough. You get hit with some of those streams. The little turn one was always good, but, man, you bend down and you get hit right in the forehead. Yeah, they don't have it calibrated right. Yeah, and if you don't know, and then some of them, like no water comes out, and everybody's mouth's just on it.

It's coming out just a little bit. Just a little bit. And then you just, and kids will just, your mouth just goes on it. It is very funny to be like it will, when it just hits you right in the face. Because you're not even prepared for it. I just remember being in line in school, and it was just the prime chance to kick someone while they're doing it. What?

I got kicked a lot. I was going to say, there's no way you were doing it. You were getting kicked while you were drinking? No, think about it. It was just me. Yeah. That's your most vulnerable position. You never saw that?

That never happened? Boys like to kick each other? I think we grew up in different times i don't think i was right out of water fountains were just like i had segregated water fountains yeah you lived different time different time it's uh did you get kicked a bunch a couple times yeah it was the prime kicking position you're vulnerable your back is exposed you're leaning over that's when i would kick you for sure yeah how quick are

you taking the drink i think you're supposed to drink like a you know like an animal drinking out of water or they kind of always kind of keep looking. I mean, you would turn sideways to kind of try to keep an eye on somebody. Yeah. I mean, would you just be in there? They just drinking. Like, I mean,

like really drinking. Your head hits the wall. Cause I kick you from behind. You grab your potted plant. Maybe that's why they were kicking me, because I was watering my plant. Yeah. Kyle Cox. I'm a teacher, and I often tell my students the only way to get better at reading is by reading.

We are now 80 episodes in, and Nate Land is proving otherwise. Sorry, kids. I know. He's getting better. If he slows down, if I slow down, we'd nail it. Chase House.

I noticed at his show the other night that the two guys that opened the show brought their own wireless mic on stage with them, but Nate had a wired mic sitting on the stage

waiting for him. Is that a personal preference of Nate's, or is there another reason behind it? Also, I noticed everyone kept looking off to the right of the stage waiting for him. Is that a personal preference of Nate's or is there another reason behind it? Also, I noticed everyone kept looking off to the right of the stage during their acts. Was there like a timer over there to keep track of? I don't know where. So yeah, we just, I do have it. So I don't have the mic stand up there anymore because I just always moved it. And so I just have the stool and I lay the mic on the stool with my water.

And so my stuff's all just kind of set there. And then, so the openers come and we just have it bring, they just bring wireless mics just because mine, I do, you have a cord. I don't, using wireless mic is not bad. I think, I don't mind using wireless mics, but I think a long set maybe makes you a little nervous

because it's where the battery goes out while anything goes wrong, whatever. So short sets, usually you feel fine with it. But do y'all do that because of COVID? No. No. I mean, maybe. Sure. Anything I've ever thought I've done because of COVID has been pure accident.

Like, did I COVID? Well, when I'm out with Leigh-igh Ann, they make us use separate mics. They don't make us, but that's the reason. It's for COVID. The theater does it. No. No. I've never had anybody say anything.

Yeah. Well, I don't know why they... But, so they... I'm trying to think now. I don't know. Clubs are doing that for a while. Yeah. All the comics get their own mic. But it'd be very funny for you to have a separate mic for everybody because of covid

then you go on the bus right after the show it's like we're already around each other yeah uh no i just do it like it's like my so my stuff's all set up there so it's ready to go and then uh i come out just grab the microphone i like the cord and then the other one's just easier to you know to get wireless to go out that way it's like i don't know it's like i mean when you have the mic stand it's like one thing uh because everything's kind of everybody puts it back in the mic stand but once i kind of got rid of the mic stand and i was like i can't like it on the stool now and i just kind of grab it and that's why there's no really rhyme or reason to it and uh i try to think we look off to the right so we looked off the right the right, which would be his. So it would be stage left, right?

It's stage left. It's stage. It's from the performer's perspective. Yeah. So if he was looking off to the right, we'd look that way. Try to think what show he would be at. I mean, usually there's some people standing over there. You know what?

I wonder if he was at the Chicago show. Because we have a clock that's up there in front of the monitor and so we have it running so everybody kind of knows what time they're at and it'll just be like a stop clock like you know stop one and so it fell and so like what might have been they were looking because if travis tour managers over there like sometimes it's like you gotta look to be like, hey, are you going to come get this or maybe someone's trying to signal you for something.

And sometimes you might just look, I don't know, you can't just look. If you hear something that can make you look over there, I don't think there's really no reason.

It's not like there's a big reason for any of that. Some guy calling in your jokes like a sideline coach. Yeah. Just bring them. Leanne's not doing meet and greets right now. Again, the venues, they don't usually want her to because of COVID.

So are you doing meet and greets? Some. I have not done. We kind of just stopped doing them. I was doing them. Again, I was. You were all in? Yeah.

But after the show, outside, this group of people came up saw me first and said love the show can and i said i was talking to them and i said you want to get a picture and they said sure and they said we're gonna leave our mask on if that's okay and i was like yeah sure i i thought all right they're being very careful which i respect and we take a picture then leanne comes out and they see her and freak out and everything. And they're like, can we get a picture? And she says, sure. They all take their mask off.

That's great. So they basically just like, it's not worth the risk for this guy. We're going to delete it as soon as he leaves anyway. Yeah. We're going to leave. They've been great.

Do you mind putting yours on? Yeah. I did. We just did this show this weekend. We didn't have meet and greets. I've had some, so I did stop doing them just because I know some people asked. Not a ton. But it was just too much is the main reason.

It's not that we would. We're doing two shows, a lot of places, the meet and greet could, would take 30, 45 minutes in between each show. It was just, and I was doing them and it just ends up being like, it's a lot of time and it ends up being, it gets pretty hard to try to do. So I still try to, I would try to meet people. Sometimes you see people and i'll get to get pictures or obviously i'll try you know whatever we can but yeah uh it gets hard we still have some coming up though uh and some of the like it was only like the there's like a

couple shows left i think where it was before we kind of stopped doing them and how do people learn of those is it just on the website like when you buy tickets Yeah, and you can meet me now if you want me to. Yes, like you go buy a meet and greet ticket. Now, we get a lot of emails from people asking how to do meet and greets. I honestly don't even know. You just buy it on, yeah, I think you buy it on their website. But I don't even know if there'll be tickets for a sale that are meet and greets anymore. Gotcha.

Because there are already tickets that were already announced from like COVID, before COVID. So I'm still making up some COVID shows. So those shows that I'm making up, some of those still would have meet and greets. Because we were doing them back then. But now, any newer shows that went on sale and the ones that we're doing currently, we're not doing meet and greets. But yeah, there is a good chance I might buy tickets sometime and I would get to meet and greet just to see you. Yeah. Next. Next. Keep it Greek. Yeah. Just to see you. Yeah. Next.

Next. Keep it ruined. Put your mask on, sir. Mike Marcia. Mike Marcia. M-A-R-C-I-A? I'd say Marcia. I'd say Marcia.

Marcia? Mike Marcia? Maybe. No. Marcia. There's no way. Marcia? I tell no way. Marsha? I tell you, I would spell it.

Huh? I've seen Marsha spelled that way. M-A-R-C-I-A. I don't think you ever have. Well, one of the main characters of Succession's name is Marsha. That's how it's spelled. Well, how would you know how she spells her name? I watch it with subtitles sometimes.

Oh, really? When he's driving. Yeah. Well. And she spells it like that, and her name's Marsha? Mm-hmm. I thought that's how you spelled Marsha.

Maybe it's a... I mean, I think it's Marcia for her last name. For last name. Marsha. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. I now... Okay.

I now understand why this show is considered an informational podcast. I've never had many cavities, but at my last checkup, my dentist told me I had 12. I didn't understand it for the last six months

until last week's episode. Since working from home, I started eating Sour Patch Kids pretty consistently. Apparently, it may have changed pH levels in my mouth. Thank you for the heads up. There you go. Marsha Brady, M-A-R-C-I-A. There you go. I feel like it's aA-R-C-I-A. There you go.

I feel like it's a first last name thing though. I'll stick with that. Maybe. Maybe. I like to think it's a couple that share an

account. Mike and Marsha. Oh, Mike and Marsha. Yeah, that's cool. A lot of people do that. So Mike and Marsha wrote in.

Yeah. They both have 12 cavities. They both went through the same experience. 12 cavities is a lot, right? Yeah. 12 is in. Yeah. They both have 12 cavities. They both went through the same experience. 12 cavities is a lot, right? Yeah. 12 is insane.

Yeah. I hate Sour Patch Kids. I don't think I've had them. I don't think I have them. It's because the Undertakers don't want to give me. Yeah, because he's my dentist. Yeah. Aaron Thumb.

Thumb. Hello, folks. Dentist here. Well, I do agree with Kim Dunlap The dental hygienist from last week That Sour Patch Kids cause pH Imbalances that can cause Decay. It is my professional opinion

That a life without Sour Patch Kids is not a life worth living Last week I pulled a tooth, told The patient to lay off the sweets And then said my office and ate a handful of Sour Patch Kids. Just make sure to Floss floss and brush preferably not with cortisone that should be so they just yeah i know he's like fine i just my teeth fall out he's like you're good man it was worth it right yeah he's like yeah you guys i wouldn't even worry about it. Channel Zero.

Nate, Batwing, and Aaron. I'm turning 40 at the end of the month and currently weigh in at 196 pounds. You've inspired me to join the challenge to hit 165. I always need something to focus on, and there's a Tough Mudder in Massachusetts the same weekend as your show in June. Let's go, folks. He's going to do the Tough Mudder. Yep.

And then he's going to try to get down to Channel Zero. Channel Zero. That's Channel Zero. If we see him out after it, Channel Zero. And he's like, Channel Zero, four. Oh, you were trying to gain. You were trying to get to 200. You were the opposite.

I think I weighed myself today. I was 180 something. I'm floating. I haven't even really started yet. Have you already started? What have you been doing, Brian? I wanted to ask about your routine. I'm down to 168 right now.

Stop. Yeah, that's because you probably got some disease. You got something wrong with him. Yeah, diseases don't count. Y'all did not say that. You got to lose it the old-fashioned way. No, whatever, by any means necessary. Okay, yeah.

You're going to stroke off 40 pounds. No, I haven't started yet either. I've probably gained a couple. Yeah, I've been just, you know, I'll get there. But we're weighing in at the end of the month, right? I mean, I had a five-pound lead on you anyway, so I thought I could coast for a while. Yeah, but I went down.

I mean, now I'm on the road, so it's like once you're on the road, you're just, I can't eat. You're not eating as much. But just because you're a go, I'll eat like during the day, and then, you know, I mean, your meals go down to maybe one or two i probably eat two a day i'll eat a bunch of junk but it's but it's like i'm only eating junk so it's like that's where my meal comes from so it's not eating and eating okay just only eating junk and then that makes you tone up a little bit. It doesn't get down to 165.

Austin Thomas, my wife got us tickets to see Nate in Boise in February. She has never been into stand-up, so she hasn't heard any of Nate's stuff. Do you think I should educate her with some of Nate's old material or just let her go in blind? You know, it's up to you. I don't know. I have people still come to the show, and they're like, we, you know, especially when I was in Vegas, there's still people that come to law shows. They're like, we didn't really know who you were, and we came.

And then they said they like it. It's fun to get to perform for someone that doesn't know, you know, you got to win them over. Your previous hour, you had some references to a previous hour. But this one, you don't think you really have. No. Not the hour I'm doing now. Yeah.

No. And the last one. Oh, okay. Yeah, the last one I didn't need. Oh, okay. That was the time before, I guess. It was the stand-ups. Yeah.

And the Tennessee Kid, I referenced the old, a couple of old jokes. So if you watch those those watch those two first but i mean there is a chance your wife watches and it's like yeah it's not for me yeah what if she doesn't even want to go and then you get to bring a friend that's true could be better maybe she doesn't let you go like you can't be watching this stuff it's a waste of time uh yeah so do whatever you uh yeah I don't know That's no real answer But

Let her come in blind You know Yeah We're winner over Thomas Barbada My son is 10 And has written And has written

First joke His first joke His first joke I think I left up his Just his first space Or maybe he left it out But it's My son is 10

And he has written his first joke. He wants some professional feedback. Here's the joke. My little brother wants to be a stand-up comedian, but he's kind of lazy. He's more of a sit-down comedian. Pretty good. That's not bad. That's pretty good.

It's not bad. No. It's a good joke. My little brother's a stand-up comedian. He's a little lazy. More of a sit-down comedian. Yeah, I think that's good. lazy. More of a sit-down comedian. Yeah, I think that's good.

Not a lot of fat? No, I don't think you can take anything out of it. My little brother wants to be a stand-up comedian, but he's kind of lazy, so he's more of a

sit-down comedian. Get a little laugh there. Yeah, no, that's how you write a joke. There you go. He's on his way. And that's how comics respond to it they go welcome to the show

Thomas we don't laugh we go yeah no that's good that is a good joke we're all dead inside I have this weekend I have this bit I've been doing for a while about Jack Link's beef jerky. You've heard it.

It's now like a five-minute chunk. And I got it. I mean, it really did the best it's ever done this weekend. I was proud of it. And I get off stage, and this guy comes up to me and goes, man, I love that Jack Link's beef jerky. And I go, oh, thanks, dude. And he's like, yeah, man.

I mean, I always keep some in my car. I eat it all the time. He would just talk to me about the beef jerky. I'm going, oh, thank you, man. I've been working on it. And he's like, dude, I eat it every day, man. We talked for five minutes about beef jerky. And then he walked away.

That gets my art. Never mention the joke. No. Yeah. That'd have been great if he didn't even know you did. Just felt like. He just assumed this guy likes me jerky. He's like a fellow jerky boy.

Yeah. Zach Deaton. I was wondering why comedians rarely list their openers for tour dates. I assume it may be because they don't know when posting the dates, or maybe they use local comedians sometimes. Yeah, I don't i mean you sometimes you don't know for sure and you mix it up a lot i guess you could put it on the website i don't know well ask somebody who opens for people i think people don't care that's a lot of it a lot of it is like yeah i don't know that's not that people don't care that's a lot of it a lot of it is like yeah

i don't know that's not that people don't care i think i'm hoping people like when they come see me it's like you know because i'm bringing a lot of comics from that i started with and all that kind of stuff and so people find out i mean i you know when i opened for chris rock i mean i saw a lot of people come to shows and that's where they saw me and uh but it's like that's the kind of thing like you find out about them uh i would i would think the one thing that i want to try to do is like be able to like put like i said if we ever get video on some of these screens a bit of put like whoever the opener is is like their social media and stuff like that for people to follow them you know people got to remember their names and usually i try to post like a you know like i'll post something maybe

today like you know for the weekend yeah thanks for blah blah and list the two comics that came out with me and that's what you do so some of it's like you're like i'm about you can't you already got a lot and then you're also going to be like well i can't i gotta i'm not it's not it's not my job to sell i gotta write y'all two down now make sure they know is that going to be i knew that's where this was going yeah this guy asked the question somehow puts it back on us it's gonna be do you tell them to ask it well you're like i'm not trying to sell less tickets dude yeah if i can't get you to come on my own then i i mean i hope well who's the opener? I don't think that's ever been.

Way in the way of the opener. Because I don't know. Alexis. Alexis. Alexis, I think. A-L-E-X-I-S. A-L-E-X-I-S. Alexis.

Alexis. Berry. Berry. Went to the Cincinnati show. We waited in the line, wrapped around the block. Everyone was super excited to see the show. A group came to us in line and thought my husband was Nate waiting in line. Photo include.

That's not it. Did you send this to me? I don't know. I did. I did. Yeah, Cincinnati was a great show. They were all great. There he is.

Oh, there you go. All right. Just out there. I'll be great. There he is. Oh, there you go. All right. Just out there. I'll be great. I'll wait my own line. I remember first, you would have to. I remember Punchline in San Francisco once. It was like sold out.

And to go in, there's only really one way to get in. And so I just walked up and there's no one really to like, you know, it's like sometimes you just feel awkward to like cut. And so you just kind of stand in your own line and just wait till you're like, I'm on the show. And then you just kind of go in with them. You know, I've actually done that. Yeah, I've done that. Even Zany's.

Yeah. Front door. And you're just like, I'll just wait. Yeah. Till. Yeah. Yeah. It's just easier.

Instead of drawing big attention to yourself. What I like to do sometimes if I get to open for somebody at a theater is after my set, I get off stage and I exit the back and I try to get through the theater without any credentials. Yeah. And just try to talk my way into. And I can do it. Why?

It's a fun, it's a fun, I'm on the show. And they go, hey, we don't know who you are. And I just try to get through that way. It's a fun little game. Yeah. To try to, and most people don't care. Yeah. I haven't run into a lot of problems.

So just when the headliner's up, there's just commotion going on. And it's just, it's you screaming, do you know who I am? Being restrained in the lobby. I was just on stage. I was just on stage. Why would I do this? Do you think I'm just making this up? Why would I be a guy that just said I was just on stage?

Don't you think you could prove that? You just Google in your name. And then every show's like, like Aaron could you just stay back here or wear the thing yeah you have to wear it I haven't sometimes you have to wear it

they won't let you in like I don't think I've had trouble this time around but I've had it plenty I mean I think one time in Chicago the Vic

the Vic the guy I mean I was like I had to show my ID and then they had to go get somebody and before he wouldn't let me back. Your ID wasn't enough?

No. He had no idea who was on the show, I don't think. Yeah, I don't think he knew. It didn't make sense that we wanted to come to the back door. I was like, but I'm on the show. So he said there. I know exactly. In the alleyway right there on the side?

Yeah. There's just some dude sitting right out there. Yeah, I know the exact spot. My guy didn't care at all when I was there last. I go, I there on the side. Yeah. There's just some dude sitting right out there. Yeah. I know the exact spot. My guy didn't care at all when I was there last. I go, I'm on the show, dude. And he was like, all right, man. Well, Hannibal Buress came to that show, and he got in. And I was like, well, how did you get in?

Like, I was at my own show, and they didn't even let me in. And Hannibal walked in like five people, and they just let Hannibal in. And I was like, how did you get in? It was, yeah, this weekend was fun. We had, I was trying to think where we were at. We had a bunch of places. Lexington? Lexington, Kentucky was great.

All of them are great. Cincinnati, Cincinnati was great. Chicago, and then Davenport Iowa last night Chicago is special because that's where I started you know that's where I started comedy sometimes people don't know that but I did I moved to Chicago

I'm sure everybody listening here I've talked about it I moved to Chicago first me and Michael Clay and we go there and we were doing it I did comedy there for about a year and a half with Hannibal and Pete Holmes and Kumail Nan najiani a lot of them were in the chicago scene uh tj miller and so we uh we were we were there and so like going back to chicago was like pretty special and then uh after the show we went to jake mellix and i had jim roth i did a comedy class called comedy college uh he still teaches a class and that's a class I took in Chicago.

He came to the show. Steve Berger, another buddy of mine that was in my comedy class when we first started, came to the show. It was really, really cool. And then, so Liz Embry and all her friends, Saul and Nicole. But they, I, but like they, it was like, it was neat to get back and see, you know, and I don't know, just like in Chicago. Then we went to Jake Melnick's, the restaurant I worked at. And we went out there afterwards and hung out.

And I hung out. We had a few people that we worked with that came up there. And we all just sat back in the back and just talked about working there. I mean, it was 20 years ago. It was 20 years ago to's 20 years ago uh to the to the now exactly 2002 is when we started working there and uh and so 2022 yeah that's where you're working with all the when the steve bartman stuff happened yeah you're working at that restaurant did that come up at all in your trip to chicago jen jen mcdonough who was there with us jen and matt pebbles uh and uh so jen was

she was the one that's roommate was worked there so we talked about it there because then she came and she goes she was telling us like she didn't believe her at the beginning i was like oh i go well jen i've been telling everybody this story like i've believed you for 20 years i I've told everybody the story. Yeah. But she, you know, we talked about the 30 for 30 and, like, when she watched that and, you know. Because she went home and told her. I don't remember. Like, you know, at the time, I don't remember, I guess, all the details.

But she said she was there. You know, there's four phones. And when she got home, she was like, why would he be, you know. And then she was like, go look. He has, like, a diet. Why is there a diet Coke or something in the trash can like who would she's like i don't we don't drink that and then she's like i don't know you know and then but then she saw him on the 30 for 30 as her roommate wow and you're like yeah so we talked about that for a second but it was like it was

just fun to be back at like jake's and like i like going back to stuff you know when you go back and you're like man yeah we were the first two people me and michael first we were hired there the same kind of moment you had at the opry right yeah being back there yeah when you go there and you work i mean even uh i mean the opry is crazy just because you work i worked at that music park i don't think i thought i'd be go play the opry jake's not that i even think you to play the Opry. Jake's, not that I even think you go play Chicago theater,

but it's crazy. I was there for to start this career. And we had one, I had someone I met, I won't say where, because they're here, but backstage,

one night, I won't say which night, I don't want this person to hear it and make fun of me, but they were, had a little too much to drink and so we kept joking all weekend like it was this has nothing to do with i don't know it's just we were doing as a running joke but it's very funny uh he was like because i don't drink you know and so he had too much to drink so sometimes when someone doesn't drink and they're like they had too much they get kind of embarrassed about

how much they've had which i don't you know they're like, they had too much, they get kind of embarrassed about how much they've had, which I don't. You know, they're young. It's like, have fun. Yeah, have fun. But he's like, what's – he's like, you know, just kept asking about not drinking. But he would say it very loudly. And then he's like, well, then he goes, you don't drink?

He goes, what? Hey. He goes, hey. Then he'd get close to me and he'd whisper and he'd go, hey, let me – between me and you, you don't drink? And then he'd whisper, and he'd go, Hey, let me, between me and you, do you not drink? And he'd whisper. And I'm like, well, you just yelled it. You just yelled it out loud.

So we just, it was so funny. He's just all, Yo, you sober? Hey, come here real fast. Hey, can I talk to you? Between me and you, are you sober? I'm like, you just said it. Just yelling it to the room. So loud.

You just yelled it. And now, hey, come here. Two seconds.? I'm like, you just said it. Just yelling it to the room. So loud. You just yelled it. And now, hey, come here. Two seconds. Can I talk to you for a second? Hey, between me and you. I just like. But it was, yeah. It was all, it was amazing.

The Chicago theater, it's huge. Did Chicago sports fans boo you when you came out? No, because I said they didn't. No, no. Get him. No. They didn't. Everything. No. Get him. No. They didn't. Everything was cool.

I mean, the first show I walked out, I said I started there in Chicago. And I feel like nobody really. They didn't care. Yeah. Like, it was on the first show. It was funny because I was like, you know, I don't. Because sometimes you're like, I don't know if people know. You think they know.

Like, they know, like, I don't know. It're like, I don't know if people know. You think they know, like they know, like, I don't know. It's like, they, I don't know if they put it together. I always thought they do. But, and then it's, but then, so it's like, I said it first. I don't, I could have said it weird too, though. I don't know. They probably didn't get what you were saying. Yeah.

Like, I think I said it kind of, but it was like, I said it and everybody's like, and you're like, and then you just get in your act. He came out, he was like, I used to live here and then I got saying. Yeah, like I think I said it kind of, but it was like I said it and everybody's like, and you're like, and then you just get in your act. He came out, he was like, I used to live here and then I got successful and I left town. I didn't like that.

Yeah. Yeah, they didn't, yeah, that's what I tell them. No, they're... Left you losers. I love Chicago. Chicago's the best. It's a fun, fun town.

Yeah, where were y'all? I was in Greensboro, North Carolina, and then Roanoke. At the Berglund Theater, which I'd done with you. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you were just there, right? Was that recently you did it with Nate? No, that was a couple years ago.

Okay. I was in Dubuque, Iowa, the comedy bar there. Perfect room. It's in a basement. Low Okay. I was in Dubuque, Iowa. The comedy bar there. Perfect room. It's in a basement. Low ceiling. It was small. Second show, they had to add some seats. It was pretty cool.

A lot of folks came out. A couple drove from Minnesota to come watch it. Pretty cool, man. Yeah. So I had a great weekend there. That's cool. With my buddy Joe Kelly. Yeah.

Dubuque was Mike V vecchione we were doing a sound check in uh davenport and vecchione was like uh he was just on the microphone just saying like uh what's up iowa city like just like just not saying the right city but it was like just kind of making a joke and he goes dubuque what's up dubuque in. And then the sound guy got pretty mad at him. For calling it the wrong city? Yeah. Yeah. Called him, use some words. And it got real weird.

I mean, it was just us in there. And then it got real, we were like, oh. And then it was pretty great. I called it the wrong theater from the stage. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I was like. That's why we don't list openers.

Can you imagine the opener has the audacity not to know you're too busy to go where are we does it matter yeah i had the right city i just called it the theater the wrong name and then then they immediately, I could just tell by the look on people's face, like, what? And then I was like, oh, wait. And I said the theater from the night before. Yeah. So then I corrected it on stage.

Make them feel special. Yeah. I mean, that's, so even as the opener, they're like, we don't even, he doesn't even. He doesn't care. If he's not bringing it, and if he doesn't care, I doesn't care i mean i lean might come out in a recliner and just press play on a on her on her cd and just y'all can just listen to this listen sit down comedian sit down comedian yeah yeah she's a sit-down comedian uh yeah it's sometimes you do you gotta remember where you're at but i mean that's sometimes you you just don't say it.

I usually don't. It was a brand-new theater, and I wanted to compliment how nice it was, and then I called it the wrong place. You can just say it's a very nice place. Well, I could have, yeah. You know, their whole name. You had to do their whole name. For a while there, when I was opening for John Chris at some of these theaters,

he had a little screen on stage with the name. He said, said put the name of the city up so i could see it and people from the crowd would see it they'd be like you couldn't even remember what city we're in yeah be like it's it's pretty easy to forget in the moment yeah i think if you're on a crazy run or something when you're on a crazy run and you're in different places every night it definitely does happen where you then you could then be like where am i like you won't remember where you were i mean at this weekend i'm like where what i was you know and then you because you just it's it you're gone i'm leaving you know this is monday i'm leaving tomorrow for wichita wednesday like so uh it's it's what you're wearing which all if you're watching this uh the day this comes out

i'm with charlton i think Wednesday night, Thursday night. But it's, you know, yeah, it is hard to remember, like, the run that you're on and, like, where it's sitting and stuff like that. And there's been times I've almost said, all right, thank you to whoever, the city. And then sometimes you can be like, I mean, I just won't say it if I'm, like, if I kind of, like, question a little bit in my head.

But, I mean, overall, you kind of know. But I definitely get how it can happen. If you're at a comedy club and you do it, that's not good. You're there all weekend. The logo's right behind you. Where are we at? Charlotte Comedy Zone. I've been here four days.

Yeah. It's been a long four days. Yeah. So, well, we're. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a long four days. Yeah. So, well, we're out there. We're touring around. You went to the Field of Dreams. I did. Yeah.

I figured, when am I going to be this close ever again to the Field of Dreams? It's in Dyersburg, Iowa. How close were you? 30 minutes away. Yeah. I don't think I'm ever going to be this close ever again probably yeah i mean unless i'm back in dubuque or something because there's it's just it's nothing little i mean not nothing but farms out there it's a rural area so we drove out and it's feels

like negative four degrees and i'm thinking oh there'll be some snow on the ground but you know it'd be cool to see the corn and see the field and then there's just here's the picture what the field of dreams looks like right now it's just it's just i i didn't know that corn went away oh it does go away the whole thing i thought maybe the corn went away but not the stalks yeah like an like an apple tree like the apples go away but the tree is still there it's all gone it's just flat snow we pulled up and there's a big sign that says close for the season and joe who i was with was like what are they gonna do they're just gonna tell us to leave so we just went we don't play catch on the field of dreams for for a little bit it's pretty cool and so like behind the

poles would be where the corn would be yeah right around you can see yeah those poles right there that's kind of the out the outfield line yeah and they're in any other time of year there'd be corn stalks out there and you get the full effect of it but it was just snow like a foot of snow yeah and we're just wading through it. But pretty cool. And you see in the background, that's where they built that MLB stadium where they played the game last year. Yeah.

I can't access it now because it's just snow out there. And all the corn's gone out there too. Yeah, there's just nothing out there. Does corn grow that quick? I guess so. That's what I was thinking because Sonny said they were going to play there this year. Yeah. So, I mean, the lockout

ends, so I guess they've got to plan it. It just comes up. Yeah, and I guess in the spring, it'll be up. You know? It must grow super quick. But it must be a second half of the season game, I'm guessing. Yeah, it's in August, I think. Yeah. Yeah. But I felt so dumb. I thought there'd be... I was able to take a video of me walking

through the corn, and it's just flat out there. With all the snow. Yeah. That thought something you would say then people were like well they would think you're dumb for not knowing that for sure yeah why did you go out there that's my son does maybe it's good to ask you know well ask the host who was with us i go we're gonna go to the field of dreams he's like really yeah yeah we'll go check it out he's like all right y'all have fun yeah i was like you can come with if you want he's like i think i'm good man yeah he just hung back and watched the game he knew there was no corn yeah he's from there he's he understands yeah i had no idea you would have still gone though anyway right yeah i think so because i wanted to check it out i guess if

it's 30 minutes away but but I guess, yeah, but if you do go and there's no corn, there is no, you might as well just drive to any baseball field on the earth and it would be the same experience. That house is there, right? The house is there. Yeah, the house is right there around the corner. You didn't take a picture of that?

There's no picture of the house? No. What? You took a picture of nothing? I thought that picture of you sitting on the house no what you get you took a picture of nothing i thought that picture of you sitting on the yeah i have a picture of me in front of those bleachers but uh that was all closed off you can you can rent that out as an airbnb oh really for like 700 bucks and you can stay there and then can you you have access to the field you can also buy exclusive access to the field for an additional cost.

So here's a picture of me on those bleachers where James Earl Jones delivered his famous speech. Does someone live there? I don't think somebody lives in there full time, but it's kind of a museum now where you can pay for a tour. But for like 700 bucks, you can rent it out and stay in there for a night. And then go play. And then go play on the field. That'd be fun. That would be pretty cool. It'd be fun to do it with wooden bats and hear that sound and go play some, yeah, just

play baseball all day. Go out there and play a bunch of games. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah. What would you, if you could go to any movie set, would it be Scream? Yeah, you can go rent that. Scream 4 is coming out, which I'm pretty pumped out. Or it's out.

Yeah. I'm pretty excited. Is it called Scream 4? I don't know, but it's called Scream. I think it's that. Scream 4 is coming out, which I'm pretty pumped out. Or it's out. Yeah. I'm pretty excited. Is it called Scream 4? I don't know, but it's called Scream. I think it's just called Scream. And I don't get that because there's already, like, how do you distinguish the two? It's been long enough. Yeah.

The new one. The new one. That's what you call it. I'm very excited about it. That's new. I'll watch that. See how that goes. But you would see The Matrix.

I didn't. And it just. But, I mean, why didn't you go to see The Matrix I didn't and it just but I mean why didn't you go see Screen we didn't go see Matrix that's on Matrix when it came out oh I thought you

When I did, you can do your own tour when you go out there New Mexico you can put it on your phone you just drive to the spot and I drove up to uh Walter White's house like you see it there's a lady sitting out front I parked like where uh or what's his face would park and watch the house oh Mike Mike we'd park all the way up there you kind of stop there because there's a lady sitting out there, and they don't like it. Mm-hmm. And it's like they have a big fence. They put like – I mean, I think these people will like regret.

I don't know if they regret it, but maybe. Yeah. Close. They probably regret it. But the people, they were like – when they were doing it, people would throw pizzas up there on their house and stuff like that. Oh, yeah. And then they had to put she

has like a fence they she was sitting in her dry in her yard staring and i mean when i and then enough that made me uncomfortable that i didn't like you get any closer to no i took a picture but it was like kind of i think i did it from far away and then maybe when i drove i made a left and drove by because it was you know like i mean she's just sitting there and they're staring at you and they're not you know they're not happy yeah and so uh but i saw that i saw the pinkman's house and then you can but you can just go i think they were shooting better calls they're shooting something there uh but you can kind of just go and like it just you can look at google maps there's a way to put it up and it puts like where

But it's, yeah, Twister's. This is what I've, it's some other. Oh, yeah. There's the building. Yeah, I don't think I saw that. But you see, like, the house. I drove by the house where that girl dies uh with jesse pinkman their apartment yeah that apartment you drive drove

by that uh so i did yeah the uh the downtown or you know where they're gonna meet at the civic center like that stuff's like right down the middle open but you go down there and see that yeah it's coming it was that's cool that one actually was i really liked and it was funny as you put you can show up on your google maps and it ended up staying on there forever i don't know why but it was like it like just stayed there so like anytime i was like be googling something like if you zoomed out you could always see like i would have like the locations of all that on there yeah and then you hit save on them yeah i went there's a there's this old radio guy named man man cow you're sure yeah so i i don't know he's not old i don't know he might but he was uh he was in chicago actually

and he and so i went on man cow and supposedly people would have trouble going on man cow like there's there's a lot of issues with comics going on and he would just talk he's very fast i remember the first time i did it he talks to you you're like i was about to call into the radio show and uh this is years ago and he'll just be talking like this like you know he'll be like yeah we went over there you know he's like i don't know he's like it's been chicago it's snowing everywhere got neighbor gets you on the phone hey you doing stand-up comedy i'm like yeah i'm doing it i've been we're over at zany's he goes all right all right back off and then you just would be off the air, and you're like, what happened? You don't even know what happened. And so I went in, and I was talking to him,

and it was right after I did this, did that tour. And so I think when you do Man Cow's show, it's like you're trying to get in with this guy because it can go. If you don't get along with him, it gets wrong. I think Patrice, maybe bill burr got in a fight with this guy or patrice got in a fight there would be like there was comics some comics would be go great some comics would actually get in some pretty big fights with him and then but i brought up the breaking bad thing and he like loved breaking bad and then we just talked about that

and there you struck up a relationship from that yeah yeah i mean i haven't done a show i don't know what he's doing now uh But yeah, it was – but I remember that. It was right after I went. I was like, I want to break a bat. And then he liked that. So he just kept asking me questions about that. Yeah. Where's he based out of?

He was in Chicago. Okay. And then so I don't know if he's gone or if he's still there or whatnot. I did an interview this week. Not quite Man Cow. Big Joe on the go oh yeah local guy and uh ruth had to go to the er the middle of the night her blood pressure skyrocketed we were pretty concerned we go to the art she's fine everything's everything's good but we were still

there when i had to go do the hit so i went outside you know's the, who calls it the hit? Is that a TV term? Yeah, I don't like it. I don't think I, I've heard it more now. I think I know it from working in television. Yeah, what is it? It's just the time you're on. You called it the hit. We hit you at 752.

So you say I had to go do the hit. It's very inside. I've seen people on Twitter doing it and stuff, and it's very inside. I don't know what it is i don't even think about it oh yeah i don't care you said it's so casual yeah just now it's like it's i think it's like the casualness of people the way people say it yeah and it's a very it's people on tv they go you see this hit and you're like what do you it just sounds arrogant like uh you know i've heard hit piece like you know someone writes hit yeah that's like a mean piece yeah but then go to yeah all right well i had to go do the

interview there you go there you go um and i had to go to the parking lot of the hospital and do it and there's just construction workers drilling behind me and i mean this is it's not just radio it's like streaming service and then ruse being discharged you're on i'm on like you can watch me and yeah i see ruth being discharged walking out and uh it was just the video of it yeah i mean there is video of it um that's not it. No, yeah. Your interview, did she get in the car? You see a really quick just get in the car behind me on there. It's mornings on Main Street, I think is what it is if you want to pull it up. But it was just so funny and just the craziness of it all.

And she just sat in the car until I finished it. Yeah. I don't think you can see it. It said visitor triage that I was wearing while I was doing it. Yeah. But. What's triage sound so bad? I know.

What does triage mean? I don't know. Three. It's the third time here. I hear triage, I think, like in a battle. Yeah. Yeah. And you're wrapping up a wound.

Yeah. It sounds that immediate. Maybe like I went to the triage, you're like, oh my gosh. Yeah, what happened? Yeah. Now I got an ant bite. Yeah. So then a few hours later, we go to our weekly doctor's visit with the high risk doctor that we go to. And we always sit at the same place.

A lot of specialists in your life. That was my third visit. Also, earlier, before before that i went to the sleep doctor yeah i like every doctor you go to you're like he's it's it's like he's like i specialize in it's you walk in it's i mean you're like the it's the vip uh-huh you would be going to all the vip areas of doctors where it's like, this guy's good. Yeah. I went to the sleep doctor. We had to drive separately because I had to go to that one first. I was the only person in there under 70, but it's time for my checkup for my CPAP.

And I was like, Aaron feels great when he wears his Tristan. Everybody says they feel great. I still tired when I wear mine. So I got to do it. Does everybody want to talk about they're wearing it? I mean, there's only one here who does it. I but i just i don't know if everybody was like

just like openly like yeah openly like yeah i hope to you know i think they assumed yeah yeah i'd guarantee you he didn't want to ever bring up that he sleeps with we've talked about it before i don't know have we remember we were talking about cAP being Chris Brown's opener with Shea? Yeah. Yeah, but that was, we were making fun of him. It'd been a while. Yeah. Him in the CPAP machine. He talks about it, but just to bring in everybody else, it's kind of like, because you know what I'm talking about, Aaron.

You sleep with one, right? You have a big problem with that. I just thought people assumed he did. Yeah. So then we get to this high-risk doctor place, and there's police cars there. I'm like, what's going on? And a car had ran into the building, crashed into the building, into the corner where we sit every week when we go. So if we were there just a few minutes earlier, there's the outside of it where it crashed.

And that's the corner we always go to. of it where it crashed. And that's the corner we always go to. And then I think the other one's where we sit inside, right over there in that corner. That's like your spot? That's our spot. We always go over there because of COVID. We get over there just where it's safe and then not anymore.

God. They say it was like a bomb went off in there. Oh, man. Was there a mural of Nate on the other side? Yeah. That would have been great. Did y'all go switch seats now? Yeah, we have no choice. Do you think you're staying?

Like when they get it fixed, I'll go back over there? Well, then they'll put chairs back over there. Yeah, will I go back? Yeah, like would they just leave it and go, let's just do a table over there now? You know, it's kind of like. Did the person say why they drew it? Like they just, I think it was a kid.

I mean, two people got hurt. Oh, take them to the hospital. I think they're fine. They didn't go to the triage? Were y'all not at the triage? No,

this is different. This is different. This is doctor's appointment number three. Oh yeah. See, this is the problem with specialists.

They got hurt in a doctor's waiting room and they had to go somewhere else. Yeah. He goes, I don't do this. Yeah.

I can do a lot. I do't know babies but not him but not adults yeah so but they did get transported i think they're fine but they took them to the hospital wow wow there's somebody that hit the gas i think instead of the brake so this is something you can't think about if i if i every time you go to a restaurant or somewhere public where you have to sit down you can't think someone can drive a car through here because that's pretty much everywhere. Yeah. I mean, that can happen everywhere. Everywhere.

Well, you always think, what are the odds? And your odds just got higher because we now know someone that sits in those two chairs. And we were all sitting in the green room if that dump truck. Yeah. So it yeah two places with it two places that we and we have there's ties to if if someone's talking going like i got a if we walk into a room and they're going i were just selling we're telling you know cars driving through wall stories it's crazy that we can be like i'll wait i'll wait my turn i should most

people should be like i got nothing and we're oh, I got a couple I could tell you. Here's my first one. Yeah. When it comes back around, I'll tell you the second one. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. That's fun, though. It's probably the most excitement they've seen there in a while.

Yep. I would imagine, you know, don't you think they get it? Oh, yeah. You're like oh yeah they're all pretty shaken up and the first thing they do

when you walk in is take the pregnant lady's blood pressure and they said that day they're like we're not even

doing do it there you go why because everyone's so stressed they're like yeah I mean after you

get there they did it like they took roost but they said everyone who was there when it happened

they're like we're not gonna take your blood pressure. I'm going to need you to answer a question for me, Brian. Don't make fun of me. What is blood pressure? What do you mean?

I don't know. That's something you hear. I don't really know what that means. Yeah. I don't know. Well, it's how much the blood, the heart's pumping the blood.

And I don't know the specifics, but I know what the numbers are. And when 20 over 80 is average. Okay. I knew that, but I don't know the specifics but i know what the numbers are and 120 over 80 is average okay i knew that but i don't know what that means so when you just said they don't even bother checking blood pressure because everyone's stressed out because your part would be pumping a lot more yeah so it'd be like adrenaline it would be like really high your blood pressure okay travis my tour manager his blood pressure was just but it's just because he doesn't eat good. But his was so high, he had to Google it,

and then Google was like, it's not good. You know, like, I mean, the internet was like, you don't need to be here. You need to be talking to someone. Go to a specialist. Yeah, go to a specialist. Yeah, Ruth has to take hers every morning, every night, and keep track of it and make sure it's not going too high.

I think Ruth appreciates, too, getting told all her information on everywhere. We just blab out, you know. She doesn't care. Huh? We're sharing. That's what we do. We are sharing, but there's just some – I mean, you could just say – I don't even know the point of the story to say that Ruth has to take it.

Like, I don't even know what it helps. I'm trying to explain to him about blood pressure and how it's important. But I don't think you have to go, you know, for instance, my wife on the older side, and she takes it every, like, I don't know. It's because she's pregnant. Huh? It's because she's pregnant. Okay.

Yeah, I know, but I'm just, it's just funny. I don't think it, when you just when something goes, what's your blood pressure? Well, let me – I'll just tell a lot of people on the radio show about it. By the way, Aaron, how's that rash doing? Yeah. They hate it. Yeah. Aaron, you still scared of heights?

I know you had trouble coming upstairs last week. Is that – I am scared of heights. You are? Oh, yeah. Big time. Would you ride ride roller coaster i've ridden one before only one i've only done one why i'm scared of them yeah i think it's a

pretty rational fear yeah you know but you don't ever what would you ride i rode a wooden roller coaster because i knew it wouldn't have a flip yeah i. I don't think I'm ready for a flip. Yeah. But I've done one. Company work trip, Holiday World. Oh, yeah. In Santa Claus, Indiana. I did one roller coaster. Yeah. And you said no more?

I think I'm done. I don't think, I don't need this. You didn't like it? I don't need this in my life. My blood pressure went up. It probably did. Yeah, I'm sure it did. Yeah.

You don't go up in tall buildings? If I can avoid it, you know. There's that building in New York. When I was in New York, they got a building that's just so tall. And I think people live up there. And it gets so skinny. Oh, yeah. It's so tall.

I mean, it's bigger than the Empire State Building, I think. It is. Yeah, and you're like i don't i don't know if i could live up there like it's the it it's the view you're in that building it's like i don't know if i could it's it's that you know it's like one thing to be like if you go there and see the apartment you're like man that was kind of crazy but like to every day you're trying to go to bed just watching tv and you're like, I am a hundred and something stories up in the air. And the buildings get small.

It just seems crazy. Yeah, we're not supposed to be up there. And the views are, you're like, are the views even? You're above everything. It would probably be cloudy up there because you couldn't see. I don't know. It'd be interesting. Yeah. It's too high to have

a good view it's like a certain point is i need to lower down the grand canyon well you just wake up in bed you just would see i don't know maybe that's a great view you don't see buildings you just see nothing i mean you're you're just so high maybe you know i've stayed in hotels where you're on a high floor and you're like, it's a little. Oh, yeah. Like a balcony. You're like, I don't love it. Not loving it.

I just stayed at one in Phoenix recently. Pretty high up. Maybe like the 17th or 18th floor. Not crazy high, but high. Yeah. And the elevator was a clear elevator facing outside. Sheridan. Was it a Sheridan?

No. Lazy dude. No, it was a, I don't remember. But it was, you were just remember But it was You were just looking And it was pretty scary dude I just I looked the other way Yeah

I did that The Willis Tower In Chicago Where you walk out on the glass I couldn't do it I couldn't make my legs Go out there Yeah

On it Yeah It's just I like But you went up there to do it Yeah And I like Couldn't make my legs go.

They just refused. And you just turned around? Yeah, I just looked at it like that. I think I maybe put one foot on it. Yeah. And the people behind you? Were there people waiting to go? Yeah.

I had to water my plant first. Yeah, yeah. Go out there. They kicked me. They kicked you out there? Get out there. So let's do, uh we started this year we have we have a like a somewhat different formula uh that we're thinking about doing this podcast so i i i got kind of towards the end of it we were talking about topics and stuff you know we

always had topics but i i kind of was like i don't know the universal one was kind of like what are we doing like you know we're having a whole and i thought we still could talk about i still like talking about topics but it's like we could it doesn't have to be like the whole episode you know because we always didn't talk about a lot of stuff yeah so it's like making it more like that i mean i think this one's you know there's been moments of this one where it's felt like it's almost died what moments were those I mean multiple at one point I just watching both y'all just talk about like it's like two old women at the grocery store like yeah yeah my son. And then you're like, that was 80 years ago.

And then he's, she has no idea. She was the one in Vietnam. She doesn't even know. That's what it felt like watching it all to me. It's just high level doctor after high level. Every doctor visit, just you have the world falling apart.

Right. We're hearing from Bates. He's got a lot of problems. He does. I'm figuring it out, dude. He's lost all that weight. You still have to do sleep. Why do you have to do a CPAP machine?

Does everybody have to do it? You'll have to do it soon. No. No, not everybody. Do you ever feel bad in the morning like i don't i don't like what do you mean like sometimes you wake up sore throat sometimes you wake up out of breath do you ever wake up with a headache no do you ever feel like you didn't get sleep no you're fine i don't i mean like you know if i don't sleep like do you snore uh i think so i don't think all the time but i think I have a little bit more than I used to.

Okay. So it doesn't sound like it's a problem. Yeah. It's not like everybody's talking about how much you're snoring. No. Okay. Then I think you're fine. Yeah.

It was a thing with me. It was embarrassing. Yeah. It was people in other rooms would hear it. Oh, yeah. Snoring. Yeah. Yeah.

Real problem. Yeah. That's when I knew. I should probably get that checked out and you have to bring it everywhere and bring it everywhere even so in a hotel could people hear you in another room if i was snoring yes yeah i did a road trip with a comedian friend and he heard it in the other that's how it's different floors it's a different hotel yeah yeah no it was it was loud yeah and i and i have to share a room with somebody.

You have to explain to them, you know, hey, this is going to be an issue. I'm sorry. You sit down on the bed across from them, and you go, hey. Let me talk to you real fast. And you already got those double beds, and they're sitting there. And then you just sit down, and you're like, hey. And they're like, hey, man. It gets weird.

I should have told you before you committed to this but it's gonna be a nightmare tonight yeah yeah essentially and the embarrassment of breaking out a c-pad machine is so much less than what the snoring was yeah i go i don't even care this is better for everybody google i mean you do that like goggle tightening where you go. Like it just, you know, like you just tighten them up. Yeah. And you're like. Oh, yeah. Shove off.

I'm not even embarrassed about it. I'm proud of it. Huh? You're proud of it. I wear it. Nice and proud. Yeah. Well, I'm not.

Yeah. I'm not saying that you're embarrassed about it. You talk about it a lot. Yeah. It's my child. Yeah. A talk about it a lot. Yeah. It's my child. Yeah. A little pappy. Yeah.

No, I have no problem. I don't know. I used to take it on the road some with you. Mm-hmm. But then once we – I mean, you bring it on the bus. You're diehard. It's not like I just love using it yeah i need to use it you should be using it too big guy you have to do it more than most and go ahead with the answer to that you

should be doing it on those man well i mean do you feel different when you don't use it no that's the thing that's why i went oh okay maybe i don't need this anymore. Well, or why isn't it working? Oh, so you just feel bad always. Yeah. Okay. I still wake up tired. You need a little CPAP life machine. You need a tube. You need...

It's the incubation. You just need to walk around with those oxygen tanks. You're going to just have one of those. Bubble boy. Yeah. I mean, once in a lifetime doctor after once in a lifetime doctor. Like, it's a guy that's like, are you the guy that just does this one thing? Yeah, we're all going in to see breakfast.

I wonder if you are that specialist of a doctor. It's like, do you go, do you start out going to that? You're like, I want to be this one of a thing or you kind of just lead you that way and you're like i'm just uh you know i don't know i don't think you pick a specialty right away right i mean you take regular medical school yeah and then you branch off into like the real the real stuff the real stuff right you're not just a triage guy yeah so we were uh so we're talking about like uh doing this this is the first one we're kind of doing this way so then we just have some random topics and stuff so you know just trying to talk about some random

stuff we'll see i think we still have i think we still have topics to talk about too it's like just i don't know just you know seeing what, just, you know, seeing what happens. All right. You know? Yeah. So what's what, uh, well, we have one video of,

uh, what'd you have? Did you have the video of the kid, uh, from the, this was a, from last year during the meet and greet I had, uh,

it was cool to meet this kid. He could, he, any episode you could just, uh, you could tell him, pick a number and he could tell you what it was pretty impressive yeah you're gonna play it so so eli listens to the podcast every night

and he's seen multiple or listened to them multiple times so if you ask him the number of the episode he can give you the topic and if you tell him the topic he can give you the number so for example what's number two? It's called the second episode. It's big topics. Yeah. Oh, yeah. What's number 16?

16 is hoaxes. Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania 69. Oh, man. Yeah, it's crazy. So he would just do it. I mean, he could do anything, which we could be messing him up now that we're doing.

I know. We're making his life a lot harder. He's like, oh, great. You him up now that we're doing. I know. We're making his life a lot harder. He's like, great. You're like, can I go do it? We might be back to topics. I'm feeling how this one's going. I don't know if this one's been. We haven't even started yet. We haven't even got started.

It's just been a lot of like, how's it going? My son's been out today. Snowed a lot. Talked about CPAP machines. I mean, just. That's going to be one of the parts of the title. CPAP machines? Yeah.

Not really. When did they invent CPAP machines? I think it's. What is it? To help you breathe? Yeah, it keeps. You have to sleep on your back? I mean, it certainly helps. You have to sleep on your back? Mm-hmm.

I mean, it certainly helps. You can't sleep on your front, that's for sure. You can't sleep on your side. I sleep on my side. Yeah, you can sleep on your side. You can't sleep face down, that's for sure. Can't get air from anything. And you just picture like...

1980, it got invented. Yeah. So first few years of Brian's life were pretty rough. I mean, so there's no, when you do it, is there going to be, is there a cure? No. No. So you're just born with this or not born with this? No, no, no.

Well, I mean, you could lose weight and that could help. Oh, there we go. So there is a cure. I thought you meant like, does the machine cure you? No, but I mean, is there, like how do how do you if you're like i don't want to so i found that as i lost weight the effects are with the effects of me not using it are less than they were yeah like i can accidentally fall asleep on the couch or something now and i my day's not ruined yeah where it used to be oh well you know so it's it's a little better but i think there's's weight-related, and there's also a genetic component to it.

Yeah. Like Brian has, and Brian's not. I'm in great shape. He's held on by Band-Aids. He's just held together. Yeah. Oh, man. I'm looking at some of these.

You had Taco Bell. What do they have? Oh, man. I'm looking at some of these. You had Taco Bell. What do they have? So Taco Bell started a membership service. $10 a month. Join. You can get one free taco a day. It's my new planet fitness.

Yeah, I know. That's the thing. You have to cancel. You have to go into Taco Bell to tell them or mail them a letter. So they think this is going to be the new way to fast food restaurants are going to start doing stuff. Just like, I think McDonald's was the first company to do the extra value meal. And now pretty much every fast food has extra value meal, right? Yeah, but almost they give it to you. McDonald's will give you that big, they give you that big Diet Coke.

They want to give it, like it's not, you know, they're handed to you. Drinks are all the same price. Yeah. So it doesn't, yeah. But is it cheaper to get extra value meal than if you ordered those three separately? I don't know. I never get a bit extra value meal, though. Like, I don't like the cup.

I've even got extra value meal for the extra fries, and they've been like, just give me the regular cup, though, just because it's like the cup's so big. Oh, really? Yeah. I always thought you got the number one. I do. But I'm just saying I'll get it just a regular size, number one, and come with the meat.

I like the medium cup. But that's the extra value meal, right? Yeah, you're talking about the meal, yes. Yeah. Yes, I'm talking about the extra, I guess the large the the large large large i can't even remember a time before meals mcdonald's invented the meal at a fast food place like combo combo yeah that's what i mean i don't tell you a taco bell how that doesn't make sense they're like well they did that so i bet they're good this is gonna be the new future i just gotta pay 10 like there's no way so i'm paying 10

bucks a month and i just gotta go up there and get one taco yeah that's the complaint about it like who can they just eat go in there eat one and you don't you go order more but that's why they probably try to get you come in they're like you'll buy more while you're there yeah you're not just gonna wait in line and get one taco yeah Yeah. But one taco's not $10, so there's no way this works. But you go every day. You could. Yeah, you go every day, but you would only eat one taco. Who's just going to have that one taco for lunch?

Right. This would have to be... I know there's got to be some guy that's like, this is unbelievable, if it makes total sense for him. If that's like, oh, this is unbelievable. Like if it makes total sense for him. If he was already going to Taco Bell every day. Yeah. He's like, I go every day anyway. Yeah. So here's a description of it. It says available starting today, exclusively on the Taco Bell app. This is from January 6th. So this has been out for a couple of weeks now. The taco lovers pass allows fans to redeem one of seven iconic tacos a day for 30 consecutive days at participating U.S. locations,

all for the price of $10. So those tacos are, this is what you can get in Crunchy Taco, Taco Supreme, you can get the Doritos Locos Taco, Doritos Locos Taco Supreme, what a supreme deal. That's what it says right below it. My God. But yeah, I don't know. $10 for one of those a day?

It doesn't make sense. If you're just running in there, I guess if I work next to a Taco Bell, but I don't see the value in it. I don't know. Why would you go in there? It doesn't seem as good like MoviePass. You'd have to get like three. Yeah, Movie, makes sense.

Yeah. You'd have to get, like, three a month for it to even be, like, to break even, probably. Yeah, movie pass was literally too good to be true. They had to, I mean, it's no longer around. Right. You know? But there are regal passes now and things like that. Right.

But if you see two movies a month, I think it more than pays for itself, right? Mm-hmm. I have the AMC thing. I get three a week. Pretty cool. Three free movies a week. Yeah. How much you pay?

It's like 20 bucks or something. A month. Yeah. That's pretty good. Two movies. It pays for itself. Yeah. You know,

yeah. 20 bucks a month. If there were a McDonald's, I would join a McDonald's membership. Yeah. I love, well, I love Taco Bell.

I just don't think one tacos, you i i just would be like i'll just buy it alone hey you have to have a car can you imagine i don't like sometimes too the problem with a lot of this stuff you do it and you'd like it's gonna seem like it's great i feel like they make you feel bad when you go when you would do it i was about to ask the mental hurdle of handing over a membership card. Yeah. If you're going through flipping through your membership cards, you got Sam's, Costco's, Planet, everyone's got Planet Fitness, and then you got Taco Bell.

But I always think when they kind of offer this stuff, like they don't, it's never a welcoming feeling. If fast food wants to do something like this, you got to be, it's got to be more welcoming. Like, it's almost like, you feel bad. Like, you know, it's almost like they're annoyed

that you're not, you're like, I got this car and they're going to be like, ugh. And then they got to like, go like run it or something like that.

Yeah, because the people that work there don't even want to be there. Yeah. And then you're like, well, I don't even want this car.

You're making me feel, I feel cheap. That's like, you know, and you're, that'd be like, if you always, like,

I remember getting hotels on like Expedia or P you know and you're that'd be like if you always like remember getting hotels on uh like expedia or price line and you would do that price line thing and you get there there's times you'd be like well i feel you're making me feel bad that i did it like this and then you're like well i don't even want it so then i don't want to do it because i don't want to get i'm gonna get yelled at by somebody you know yeah i did i didn't do it the exact right way yeah i didn't do i'm sorry i didn't do the way you wanted me to do it but i started buying stuff through the website because it was i just was like i don't i felt you know i don't that that could be me though i don't know if i i totally get that if you check in the price line there in there what's your name

i go weber and they go did you book it through something else yeah i'm like yeah sorry yeah i found a guy you know yeah i found a guy on the road he was selling this room he rented it and then he wasn't going to stay in it you know what i would buy if it was part of a membership like a tsa pre-check for a fast food place an expedited line are you going to like a lot of metal detectors? Where's your fast food? You go to ones that are pretty dicey in the area. You made a way to skip the line. Yeah. Yeah, I meant to skip the line.

Well, they do mobile orders. Okay. Then, yeah, that kind of defeats the purpose. Yeah. But I'm talking more about spontaneous. Like if you're just on the road. You know, if I'm by Zaney's, there's that Chick-fil-A that's always right by zany's and i gotta like to see what's going on over there and there's always 800 million cars in line but there's a pre-check line swipe a little card i get to cut all of it yeah i'd pay for that you think there's a certain weight they they make you like the guys who's gonna want that they gotta have a van your van i check every box

uh yeah this mobile order i think would you know you're just talking about a spur of the moment if you're hungry you're like yeah yeah yeah i like to cut that line yeah taco bell that might be worth it if you got like one free meal yes that might be a day yeah but that would they would get crushed with that i mean that would be pointless they should be like and we'll give you free refills like you already do though and you're like well but we'll do it for you i don't see how this is the future of fast food i just don't understand how they like who over there is just like you you know what? McDonald's came up with the meals, and I think the future is going to be memberships.

Wait, who said this was the future? Was that you? It was Taco Bell, I think. Oh, okay. I thought you were saying this was the future. I'm saying it because I love it so much. Yeah, but they're saying like, they're like, this is what we think is going to happen, subscription services, Taco Bell, because everything's a subscription service.

Nowadays, you have like, you know, you you're now you pay five dollars basically for just everything and you're you're you know you're uh subscribed to so much stuff but like you're not gonna i don't think you're gonna do it food i could see i'm trying to think like i mean there's like a cafeteria like i said if you could go in there and get a meal yeah and like it was like a college thing where you're like I don't gotta pay

I just go in there and pick and you put it on my card and like say I pay whatever I'm allowed this much

you know a month almost like a food allotment like you're like alright I pay 30 bucks a month at Taco Bell

I'm allowed 60 bucks worth of food and I go there and use it as much. Like that would be. Oh, that would be better. Yeah. Yeah, do that.

Yeah. Well, it's the same premise. It's just, theirs is much smaller. But it's not because it's just saying one taco. So it's like,

that's enough to make you not do it. Because you go 10 bucks a month, you're like, well, I'm going to go in there and just get one taco. Like, I guess, you know,

it's, it doesn't it's not enough reward yeah they need to up it a little bit yeah well we'll see how it goes yeah uh speaking talk about asteroid i want to see what is that one asteroid is all right so next week uh next tuesday to be specific at like like 4.50 in the afternoon. Yeah. Asteroid is passing by Earth. It's 1.2 million miles away, which is very close by asteroid standards.

So close that they said you can see it with just a small telescope. It's 24,000 Rhode Islands away. Oh, wow. Good job. So they said it's nothing to worry about, but it's the closest and largest asteroid that's passed Earth in some time. It's bigger than any two Empire State Buildings,

I think that's what they compared it to. If it hit the Earth, they said anything within 25 square miles would be destroyed. Yeah. So it's not like one of these that wiped out the dinosaurs, but it would be super, super deadly to the area. And when would you, like, if you were at, would you just, would it be like a, if you're us and it's going to hit, I mean,

are we looking at it like a fly ball kind of situation? Like, are we, like, you know. What do you mean? When you got to get out of the way, you know, is it like just we're all down here like you gotta run back up you're like go go go go go go go go like i mean how do they give us a good heads up like you know hey texas or like hey you know right you know it's like are you are we all just kind of like you kind of got to keep an eye everybody go outside it's like a punt you don't want to touch. Peter, Peter, Peter.

It's traveling 43,000 miles an hour, so you'd have to move pretty fast. It's the closest since it was estimated to pass in 1933. These things, they come back around. So this asteroid's been here before. Well, who it is again. Next time we're here, here will be 2150 so um we'll be closer in 20 how are they not hitting do they never hit well meteorites and stuff hit yeah the earth asteroids think the odds are yeah but now stuff has hit before, obviously. Yeah. Now NASA started this program called DART, Double Asteroid Redirection Test. Seems like a weird.

What is a double asteroid? I don't know why it's called double, but it's basically, they're testing it out later this year where they're sending a spacecraft to run into an asteroid to see if they can knock it off course. Oh. asteroid to see if they can knock it off course oh and they're just doing it just to see if it works in case that asteroid ever was going to hit earth so they would have a way to stop it from hitting us to move it to move it yeah literally just crashing into it and see if they can move it so there's gonna have something below like just you know yeah just bang into like an empire state building kind of thing that big that fast and then you're just gonna so it might just go no yeah it might just bounce off and like nope yeah still coming yeah but they're testing that

to keep us from i hope it works yeah i do too what was it in armageddon they went and it was drill workers well bruce willis stayed on it yeah but i can't remember what they were doing were they oh they were drilling in and blowing it up, right? Yeah. That's right. He had to stay to keep it. He had to stay. You know, this is better than that, if it works.

Yeah. So it's next. It's tomorrow, right? The 18th? Oh, you're right. It is tomorrow. It's supposed to come by? Yeah.

So it's this Tuesday. So people might not be listening to this. They may be taking the wrong turn. This might never come out.'s been yesterday. Yeah. So people might not be listening to this. They took a wrong turn. This might never come out. Yeah. Thankfully. Yeah. 451 Eastern.

451 PM. PM, Easter time. We'll be able to see it in the daytime. You'll feel it? Is it going to make a breeze? I don't know. We'll see. I like when you hear.

You're like, ooh. Phil heard that. I still think I saw a meteor on fire. I know I did once when I was little. I forget where I was. It was low enough that I could see the flames behind it. Like a shooting star? Mm-hmm.

But I could see the, like, I could. You see the fire? I could see the fire. Yeah. Yeah. It burned up in the atmosphere, I guess. Yeah. Yeah.

I remember that. I believe you. Yeah. Yeah. i think a lot of people have you've seen that i've seen shooting stars with their tails behind them but if you i mean i could see the flames like it was like you could see that much i mean i could tell that that was flight i mean no I'm seeing the red. I could see. I mean, I picture in my mind. I was a kid. I see flame. You know, it was low.

How old were you? I don't remember. I remember, you know, this is back when I remembered stuff. Yeah. For pre-Matrix. Do you not believe me? No, I believe you. I i just i don't know if it's any different than what other people say if you're seeing the flames versus like yeah you see like a little trail of something about like you know like an air what can you see a plane fly you see that

like that yeah it was like that. It was, yeah. I mean, it was fire. Yeah. That one. You're on. Yeah, boom. This one?

Yeah. I believe you do. Yeah. I don't know why Brian doesn't, but I believe you, man. Yeah. And we're going to see one again. Coming up soon. With hits right here. It's the studio

yeah well Aaron this is going to be a short one just so people well we got a lot of stuff here to talk about huh

we got a lot of fun stuff we'll go do another one do you have anything Aaron you want to share oh well this can't be the podcast just to go on alright

you got any well so I have to bring everything the the system might not work like this. All right. Was there anything on that that interests you? No, it does, but it's like we got to like, it's got to be, yeah, I don't know.

I got to rethink. It's a proof of concept episode. The answer can't be, you got anything you want to bring up? There's no, that can't ever be asked on there. Okay. When people are listening to this. All right. Well, if you you do aaron just jump in um you got jeopardy a lady some right lady is uh she's won 32 33 straight in a row she's now i think third most wins ever wow fourth as far as money goes. First woman to do it.

So a lot of women are saying, see, women are smart too. Yeah. But she used to be a man, so... Really? Backing off that, yeah. Really?

I'm joking about the women saying, see, what are... But she did used to be a man. Oh, really? That's funny. Got that going. But they think she could be the all-time winner.

Ken Jennings dominates as far as most He was like 70 or 80 74 74 games in a row, she's almost halfway Yeah, but she's almost a second place In money earnings And in most wins

So he was that much better than everybody He was like the Wayne Gretzky of Jeopardy as far as just wins Okay, and this is going on now? Yep We'll see. So cows, a farmer in Turkey learned that he can get his cows to produce more milk. If he put a VR headsets on them to make them think they're in green pastures,

they're in a barn and they're not producing enough milk. So he put a VR headset on them and now they think they're in a great spot and they're producing more milk. Where is this at? I think Turkey. Yeah. All right. Yeah.

It's what you think it would be. I thought it would be a different looking headset. That's it. But they have to change. It is a special headset. They have to change because cow's sea color is different. Oh, okay. But they have to change. It is a special headset. They have to change because Cal's C color is different. Oh, okay. So they have to adjust it for Cal's colors.

So instead of just making the grass green around them, they give them all VR headsets. Well, they're in the middle. It's like wintertime there, and there's nothing green around them. Oh. So they're trying to make it seem like it is. They're trying to make them feel good about it is They're trying to Make them feel good About themselves

They're trying to trick them Into making Think they're happy Yeah And it's working This is in Russia Moscow

Russia started it But the guy right now Is in Turkey You wouldn't think Russia Would come up with something like this Yeah Like you know You don't feel like

They're like What if we get them VR And they think I don't know Maybe you would And so they're like, what if we get them VR? And they think, I don't know, maybe you would. And so they're doing more milk. All right.

Yep. All right. Oh, it's working. It's working. It went from 22 liters to 27 liters. Oh, wow. Wow. I mean, that's significant, right?

I think so. 22 to 27? Yeah. It's five liters. That's a lot more. They're going to start doing this to people soon. For sure. Give the office worker VR headset.

So more work in the back? Like, Zama, because people are just, so they'll have you wear VR? Yeah, they go, well, we don't want you to think you're in a cubicle. Now you're on the beach working. Yeah. They give them, and I'm sure the productivity would increase there. Oh, yeah. It's a slippery slope.

Yeah. That's what I'm worried about. Yeah. I wish I was somewhere else. I wish i could see something else right just put a headset on you he didn't realize he's here i think other people listen to this or like i wish they're gonna they need to be like i gotta listen to something else uh to cut down on carbon emissions and air pollution, ships are now, some ships are testing being pulled by giant kites. I mean, who? It's exactly what you think it is.

It is a boat being pulled by a kite. Yeah. It's a kite that's 5,000-something square feet, and it's pulling ships So you can just see those everywhere now Just go out there In the ocean Just see kites everywhere

I mean what if it starts going The wind starts going the other way Well they can still I think it's like a car that runs on I mean you can still It's like a hybrid Yeah like a hybrid You can do it the normal way

But if everything's going right If we're coasting It's like a hybrid. Yeah, like a hybrid. You can do it the normal way, but if everything's going right. If we're coasting, it's like, hey, man, we're going good. Let's put the kite out. Yeah, throw that kite up, dude. Yeah, and it pulls us. How smart do you have to be to even propose something like this? Because if I went in there. I don't know.

I don't think you have to be that smart. I think anybody could come up with. But I mean for somebody to take it seriously. Because if you and I went in there and we're like, I got an idea. I don't know. Let's hook a kite up to the boat. Yeah, this isn't. I think, I mean, I feel like they've been saying this for years.

A cell. Well, I mean, a cell is essentially, that's what a cell is. That is what a cell is. So it's not, well, what's the difference of this? It's like, well, what if we do it more like a kite and we have it. Well, that's the big difference. One's a kite and one's a sail attached to the boat. Yeah, but it's the general idea.

And I guess they're saying that we should do it with those. That doesn't look like it's big enough to even pull it. I think that's a really big ship. Yeah. Yeah, that's a big one, man. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I mean, reeling that thing back. I mean, just, I don't, yeah, I mean, reeling that thing back, I mean, just, I get it, you know,

you don't want to pollute the ocean or whatever, you know, it's doing that stuff. Man. Some guy on the boat just holding it. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, the problem is, you know, it's going to just fall on the – I don't know. Tangle up. Good for them. All right, Matthew Stafford's wife just told a story on her podcast

about going on this trip where they met Leonardo DiCaprio. Have you heard this? Mm-mm. So Matthew Stafford, quarterback for the Rams, he and his wife went on vacation together with Matt Ryan, quarterback for the Falcons he and his wife went on vacation together with Matt Ryan, quarterback for the Falcons, and his wife. They were in Bahamas, and they were sitting at this restaurant, and I think they even had empty seats beside them,

and Leonardo DiCaprio comes in with his girlfriend. They pull up a chair next to them. They all start drinking. They never met before. They all start drinking, have fun, a lot of drinks flying, and Leonardo says says we should play beach volleyball tomorrow and they're like

yeah yeah yeah yeah thinking like oh we're just drunk we're just saying whatever the night ends next day Matt Ryan

Matthew Stafford go play golf the girls are gonna go to the beach to lay out they walk down to the beach Leo's down there warming up yeah

and taking it serious yeah and his girlfriend's down there too. And some other people. And they're like, oh crap. They're really, so they call Matthew Stafford,

Matt Ryan said, get over here. Leo's down here warming up to play. So they leave the golf course. They come running back. They play volleyball, sand volleyball. Matt Ryan spikes it.

It goes off someone's arm, hits Leo's girlfriend in the face. God. It finally ends, and he's like, I think Matt Ryan and Matthew Staffordstein won. They were like, Leo's like, what if we play some Frisbee golf? Let's go do that.

And she's like, they're thinking, why does he keep challenging us to stuff? But I think because they're like professional athletes, he wanted to see if he could hang with the big boys. So then they go play Frisbee golf. So then they go do that. So then they said, let's do a drinking game. So then the night they're doing this drinking game

and it's getting kind of out of control. And one of the game is take five shots or lick Matt Ryan's wife's ear four times. And everyone just thinks, well, he'll do the shots. Leo, he goes over and licks Matt Ryan's wife's ear for like a while yeah yeah and she said everyone just froze like oh my gosh what is going on here and that's pretty much it it's just the crazy trip this is the craziest trip of their life so i don't feel like that's that crazy of a thing if you know if he was like go go lick Matt Ryan's ear or something. Sounds like he was getting into it.

Yeah, four shots though. That's a lot. Like if you're like, I don't want to be. Well, they're all drunk already. Yeah, I know. But maybe you're just enough to go like,

I don't want to be just miserable. Leonardo DiCaprio, I mean, he's 45 years old or something like that, right? It's not like he's 20. If he licks Matt Ryan, it's just a funny guy

that's playing around. His wife, that's kind of intimate. That's weird. Yeah he likes matt rye it's just a funny guy's playing around his wife that's kind of intimate that's weird yeah no that's what i'm saying like that wouldn't so leo's like you know that's why would he think that's weird like you know if you're if you went and looked a woman's ear like as a dude that's how he greets all women probably he's 47 47 yeah that's getting up there yeah so uh yeah that's fun that's like see that's like the thing where like if you're like that and you go and do that like that's like does and then now the story gets out like you can't ever like if you're him you can never just go like i thought we could just hang out yeah and it's always like this is even when you're with other, and I'm not, it's just like, yeah, you're just that famous.

Right. That you're. Yeah, no, Matthew Stafford's wife, she's a wild card herself. She got, I don't think she can even go to their games anymore because she gets in fights with fans and stuff like that. She has her own podcast. So I think she just. Oh, she talked about it on her podcast?

I think so. Yeah. Yeah. So we're talking about CP I think so, yeah. Yeah. So we're talking about CPAP, so I guess it's understandable. She might slip a story in about Leo. Yeah. Yeah, I get it. But it is crazy.

That's how – when you're that famous, it's like you just – everybody's going to do it. And we talked about that one time. Like you're not going to not take a picture with them. You're not going to not – you know. It's like they're just too famous. You're just like, dude, this is too crazy. And, you know.

Yeah, look how famous those guys are. NFL quarterbacks. Right. It's not even close. Yeah. And they're so starstruck. Oh, yeah. I mean, that, you know, they wouldn't, if you, anybody else was like,

hey, these warmers have to play volleyball. They'd be like, well, we're not, tell them we're not going. Yeah. And then Leonardo DiCaprio, you're like, we got to go. Cancel our tea time and come back. Rush back. He's down here warming up. He's enough

that would make you go do it. If you had a tea time and Brian and I were going to play volleyball, would you? No. I don't think we'd be at the same place. I don't even think he. I don't think we'd be at the same place. I don't even think he'd answer the phone call. Yeah. We were at the Holiday Inn down the street.

Y'all walked all the way up on the beach. And to see a bucket hat. No sunscreen ever. Like your dad slaps it on you? Yeah, exactly. Just go play some... Playing beach football, I mean, Tuesday, what are the teams? I guess it's... I think some workers, they said, were there too

that worked at the resort, played with them. Because when he spiked the ball, I don't think he spiked it right off her face. I think he spiked it off someone's arm and hit her in the face. I would think they would need to take it easy. Matthew Stafford and Ryan. Yeah, they're two NFL quarterbacks. Yeah, and they're both big.

And you'd be like, y'all could probably tone it down a little bit. They're competitive. Yeah, I guess that's true. But I don't know if you should be spiking it. You could be like, I don't know if I'm going to spike it. Just have a fun game. Yeah, just a fun game. But I guess if Leonardo DiCaprio is warming up, stretching,

taking it seriously, you've got to. It's a possible 47-year-old alcoholic. So maybe let him stretch a little bit. I mean, you're in your prime. Oh, is he taking it serious? All right, we're taking it serious. That's a good point. He would be be he's one

i would always i'd like to think about like i want to meet him i like him brad pitt denzel washington think about denzel a lot lately you're like those would be like people that you kind of go you're like that's that's who would be fun to meet but do you want to meet them or do you want to meet the characters they've played i think i want to to meet them. Tom Cruise? I just think they're so good. Yeah, Tom Cruise would be great too. Yeah. Like just those, I mean, it's them. It's like you're just kind of like these kind of crazy,

you're like, man. But those are all guys that have been around forever. Who from your generation would you want to meet? Kevin James. forever like who from your generation would you want to meet kevin james okay i was thinking about tony robbins are you serious oh yeah yeah you'd want me morgan freeman yeah everybody from shawshank you just named three people older than the guys he named i know that's what i was trying to do i thought you were gonna say like bob gunton i'd meet all my heroes who's that he's the prison warden from shawshank i don't know i don't care about anybody i'm trying to think of who's my age i think maybe the oldest like seth rogan and those that group of guys they're like 10 years older than me they're probably in their 40s right i'd like to meet those guys you know yeah james franco those dudes yeah yeah you got a lot
