Hello, folks. Welcome to the Nate Land. No, I'm joking. Hello, folks. Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Bargetzi sitting here with Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slay. All right. Hey, Bear. Here we are. I think I'm going to say hey, Bear at the end, though. There's part of me, I think about this stuff a lot. And I feel like it's being forced. So I like a hello, folks at the end of it. Because hey, Bear is more of a, it's more in the wild.

is the point of it, I think. Hey, bear. Hey, bear. Like, it's just, it's a good like that, you know? So when would you do it on the show? I don't know if you would. Yeah.

Hello, folks. I think maybe do it at the end. Okay. I'll throw in a hey bear just to, you know, the people usually saying hey bear, I think, are listening to the end. That's true. And so it's kind of our thing. People yell hey bear at me, and if I don't do it back, they're like, it's like they're like, did you hear me? Yeah. Did you hear me? Hey bear. Yeah.

Wow, yeah. And you're supposed to yell it back. I know. I got a few hay bears. Did you? How's it go, hay bear? Hay bear. It's nice. It's fun. Well, I don't mean like in the store. Yeah. On the shows. Oh, yeah. I just feel like if people do, like if I'm, I don't feel like there's like a portion of the audience that knows what hay bear is and then a portion that doesn't. So I feel like I don't,

It feels weird. Yeah. Yeah. Then you got to explain to the rest what's going on. That's on them to catch up. And then we're just starting the show. I don't like to start the show. I already got enough explanations on what I'm doing. Yeah. But I, yeah, I mean, I'll say it, but I mean, you just say it. Like if someone doesn't know, I don't think, you know, I don't see them, you know, they don't get up.

Right. And head out. And they go, I'm already confused. Right. I think it fits with you more than me. Yeah. Like if they see you and yelled hay bear, I'd be like, yeah, man. Imagine this guy just yells that. I'll start taking like a walking stick. Yeah. You know, like a trail stick. I got a walking stick. I got a trail stick. Yeah. A little compass on the top. On stage? No, no. Just, you know. Did you say compass? Yeah, a little compass on the top. A compass? Yeah. C-O. Comp. That is how it's spelled.

I've never heard it pronounced that way, though. Yeah, compass. Not you guys, I think the world. That's how you say it? Compass. Compass. Well, he knows it. I like to do a compass. He's a little... That's Lebanon for you. Yeah, yeah. Like a little thing. Yeah, we're related. They do their own thing, yeah. Yeah, compass. Compass. Yeah. There's no... I don't think people... Compass. If you were...

If you were standing with a man that had only a compass in his hand and you said, hand me that compass, I don't think he would guess what to do. I think he would be confused and go, what? And then you would be the compass and you would have to point at it and it never would be talked about.

And y'all would just leave. And he would be like, God, am I crazy? Am I saying this wrong? And then would maybe start saying compass personally in his own life until he got ridiculed. And then. Yeah. I mean, this is the first time I've encountered it. I don't say compass a lot out in the world, but this is the first I've come across it. Compass. Yeah. I don't. Yeah. Yeah.

That's like, it would, yeah. I mean, I've just never heard it. I'm not saying I'm right or wrong or whatever. What about the word complain? I guess that's see you. Yeah, complain. Not a complain. Why are you complaining all the time? Yeah, all right. Why are you complaining? What's another one? Comcast. We don't do com. Come on over here. Yeah, just the word com. You don't say com over here.

But that's got an E at the end. Okay. And that's why I think the E makes it. All right. I got you. Oh, yeah. Compass. This is a language episode, I believe. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's right. That'd be perfect. I blew off a hello, folks. Didn't even realize I was with Dusty. I don't want to give it away, but I was reading some YouTube comments one day. I don't know if it's in this one. And they talk about the big reveal. And they're like, it's been written on the title of the video the entire time.

What? Well, a couple weeks ago, I think it was the Greg Garcia episode. We're like, oh, we came up with this. And now we're in now. You're like, it's Robin Hood in prisons. And people are just saying, we've seen the title on the screen the entire time. They had to click on it. Excuse me. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

A few weeks ago when I was with Dusty in Huntsville, we were in a hotel lobby and a guy said, directed at me, I think, hello, folks. And I just kind of like, whatever, because all weekend people have been everywhere. We've been been saying we're having a good time to Dusty. And I just got some of my head. They're just talking to Dusty.

that it didn't even cross my mind they're actually saying hello folks to Nate Land people. Yeah, to you. And then we left and Dusty said, you know that guy said hello folks and he was kind of directing it in your direction. I was like, oh, I gotta go find him. Yeah, go run him down. Go, hey, hey bear. Hey bear. Tackle him. Let's go folks. That guy got a mysterious follow at three in the morning from Brian Bates. Yeah. Hey bear, hello folks. Sorry, I was flustered as I walked out.

I found him just off his profile in the lobby. I still track him down. I would feel – do you think you're flustered a lot? Yeah. I'd say that's a good word to describe. I feel like you would be very flustered. It's got a kind of older person –

Yeah, every day is kind of a lot. You know, like when it's like, oh, God, you know, you just go into the, yeah, it's a day. It's a day. I am flustered. Yeah. Like I said, like in Seinfeld when Nana or whatever sets the alarm and she's already sitting in bed and just hits the button and goes to the bank, chemical bank. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a whole day. I just want to say I'm really blown away by this compass thing because as I'm sitting here, I'm realizing that I say computer, not computer. Right. And like company, not company. Company. Yeah, I say company. Yeah. So why am I saying compass? I don't know, man. I mean-

If anybody ever needed one, it'd be someone living in a trailer park. I used to use them all the time. You did? I feel like that's how y'all would give your address, to go, you'd give your coordinates. East, yeah. Is that what you would say? Yeah. When some of your friends came over, you'd hand the coordinates out? Yeah, we're like, hey, we're east. You'd be like, turn by the McDonald's or something like that. No, I'm saying like a trailer park. Oh, okay. Did they? Oh. Say it again? Compass.

Yeah. Oh, it even spelled it out. Yeah. So you say it the way, it's like you literally got handed a word. That's how I say a lot of words. You get handed a word, you're like, I'm saying it the way you wrote it. Yeah. And then it's like, well, we do it a little different. But what, like if you comp a ticket, though. That's true. If a ticket gets comped, it's C-O-M-P. But that's the end of the word. Oh, well put. Comp. Comp. Comp is the end of that word. Comp.

I don't trust the Google lady. Yeah, well, you know. They're lying to you. That's big Google. I agree with that. Yeah, let's see the British pronunciation. But Nate used to have a joke about a compass. Yeah. Compass. Yeah, they even over there. They probably got it rolling. But that's all right. I say a lot of stuff wrong. All right. This week, you're about to find out. Here we go.

Sorry for the comments. Keith Hines. I was surprised by the choice of topics this week. I thought, good night. How are they going to possibly talk about gas stations for 70 to 80 minutes? But unbelievably, somehow you did it. And as always, the show was super funny. Do you believe that folks should pump gas and then move to a parking space if they choose to enter the store? I don't know if I would ever think that they have to do that.

If it was super packed, then I would say you got to do it. That's an event by event. I don't know how to say that, but it's a situation by situation. Okay. Like you go, if it's like the line's crazy, it's like, then yeah, you're being rude if you're like, yo, dude, we all got to get gas. They do that with our bus. Ricky, when he fills the bus up, you fill it up because you're filling up hundreds of gallons, and then they pull up.

And then they go in and pay. Okay. And so that way the other person gets started. I think normal gas station, if you pump gas, that gives you license to your entire trip to the gas station. You can leave it there. Yeah, yeah. But if it was busy. If it was busy, yeah. It's common courtesy. Be aware. Pull up. Park there. Be aware of your surroundings. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I think if it's busy, I think you should do it every time, but I don't do it. I do agree that just get out of the way, let other people pump gas. But usually it's not if it's busy. Yeah, it's not that big of a deal. But usually it's not that busy and there's plenty of spots. I think that's the problem with Buc-ee's is people park and then they get lost in the store. They got no compass. They don't know what's happening. Yeah.

At what Buc-ee's you should pay and then you should go. If you're going to go into, you know, ride some carnival rides at Buc-ee's, then pull into a parking spot. Yes. I almost bet they would have a sign that says that. Yeah. Because you can't just run into Buc-ee's. I mean, who is even, I would think, how many people are going to Buc-ee's and you just, I guess you just fill up there and then you leave. I would think that would be like, you wouldn't go there if you're just trying to get gas. You go for the experience. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Greg Garcia went to Bucky's. How'd he like it? He loved it. Yeah. Yeah. He texted me this weekend. He was in Lebanon and stopped to eat, asked me where to go eat. I'm like, what are you doing in Lebanon? Yeah. You told him Panera bread. Uh,

No, that's what his wife said. Oh, you know what? I stopped in Lebanon the other day and I ate at a Thai restaurant and there was some ladies in there, really country, at the bar yelling. She was like, I ain't never had Thai food. And she's like, I'm like, well, you're in here right now.

And then I was making fun of the place a little bit. The food was great. And then somebody paid my tab. I don't know who it was, but they paid my tab. So thank you for that, whoever that was. So Lebanon's very nice. That was my uncle. I told him. Okay, thank you. Well, Lebanon did not have a Thai restaurant when I was growing up. I had no idea they still had one. Did you go in and say, is this a Thai restaurant? Yes. Thai? Yeah, Thai. You got chicken thighs in here? Yeah. Thai restaurant? You're like, this is not what I thought it was.

Some of these smaller gas stations, if you pull in just to use the bathroom or grab something, there's no obvious place to park, right? Unless you're at the pump. Yeah, I don't think people were too worried about that. Okay, let's move on. I mean, you're picking a, like you're talking about like a tiny one that's in the, I don't think that's what he's talking about. I think he's talking about an action, one that the people are using. Well, I know what Keith's talking about. I'm talking about what I'm talking about. Yeah, we don't know where you're going. Do you still have like that, you pull the thing over?

You know how you like turn it. Oh, those pumps. I miss those. Oh, yeah. I love those. The metal one where the dial is moving inside. It's not digital. It's like, yeah, I wish. Yeah. Who filled it up in the Andy Griffith show?

Goober? Gomer? Yeah, Gomer. Yeah. You still Gomer? You got a Gomer in your life? I am the Gomer in my life. I'm the Gomer and the Goober. Goober was my great-grandmother's cousin. Wow. Saw him at a wedding.

Wow. George Lindsay's his name. Yeah. Do you know George Lindsay? I do. Yeah, I'm related to him. Wow. I only saw him once at a wedding and then he died. But he's the pride of our family. I saw him once at Green Hills Ball. Did you? Nice to see you. Can you imagine that? Someone made it in your family. No matter how far you get along, people are like, well, you know, Goober. I don't know if you can live up to Goober. Yeah. No. Goober's so famous that you can just say Goober and everyone, like,

You know, probably my, I don't know how far down of a generation you can go, but

I mean, at a point, you could say Goober and everybody knows. I think Gomer's the one that's more famous. This is Goober pile. Gomer was more famous, but I feel like you would recognize Goober more. He's got the Jughead hat on. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Gomer was in a lot of episodes. Goober would pop up. Well, he had his own spinoff show. Oh, did he? Yeah, he went to the Army. Gomer pile. Yeah. But I think Goober is, even if you say Gomer, I feel like they're going to picture Goober's face. I bet you're right.

I bet you're right. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay. All right. Finally found someone that didn't go to Notre Dame in your family. Is he a brilliant guy, too, or something? I don't know. He got a Purdue? I don't know much about him. He might have, yeah. Travis Duff, as a guy in Gearhead, it was painful. Car guy. As a car guy in a Gearhead.

it was painful to listen this episode there's no need to add premium fuel to a car that doesn't require it like a small toyota you won't increase your power and the gas won't burn as well

Using lower octane fuel in a car that requires premium fuel can cause damage to the engine over time. All right. I'm sorry to cause you such pain, Travis. Yeah. I kind of thought that's what we said. I think Travis is our goober. Yeah. Yeah. Travis, you've got a new role now in this podcast. You're our car guy. You're a goober. We pull up to you and go, is this true? I didn't know that. I'm glad to know it.

Yeah, I think it's good to know. You don't like it, though. Yeah, I don't have a car that would require it, so it feels good. You have a car that always requires gas, though. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Not going to that electric route. No. Or wind. Yeah. None of that. Wind-powered car. Yeah, not a sale car out here. Yeah, gas-heavy. Yes. Diesel probably preferable. I'd like a diesel, yeah. You'd like a diesel. Yeah, I like the smell. It smells like the tractor growing up. Yeah. I love it. Yeah, yeah.

Brandon Adams. I've never comprehended anything less than Nate's 10-minute rant that went from staying off your phone to not being balanced in life to eating one piece of candy to being grateful to showing off your birdhouse to running a Walmart. But I'm here for it. Keep up the good work. There you go.

There's a lot of stuff in there. You got to just. You got to stick with it. You got to, yeah. You got to listen a few times. Yeah, there's always so much time. You know, you got to put them all in. I don't know. Yeah, that's a lot of, when you type it into one thing. It was quite a ride, man. It was quite a ride.

Sorry you're not able to get on the ride. If you can get on there, it's a good ride. But not a lot of people can hang. They can make it to the candy. Then they're like, what? Now we're in a birdhouse? A lot of people are arguing. They were like, Nate, I love what you said about just living in the moment. Then someone else was like, no, he's saying the opposite. Don't live in the moment. Then it's a little both. It's a mix of both. It's because I don't know how to use words correctly.

I've thought about it. I think it's living in your moment. Living in the moment is your own moment. So you're only doing you. Does that make sense? I thought about it's not in the moment. It's like you're just self-absorbed of just I'm doing this thing in my moment. This is for me.

And there's no one else is around. No one else matters. That's why you got those selfies where people are just doing them wherever. They make videos in front of a bunch of people and no one cares. I don't know. I think I'm over it now. I thought of it that weekend. Sometimes it slipped. But I still think. The running Walmart thing is not bad. Get yourself instead of managing a Walmart.

which would be a lot. There's a lot of people at Walmart. They're still doing good. Garrett Moore. When Nate is tired and starts his rants, he reminds me of a grandfather talking about this generation with his grandkids, and baby Bieber sits there quietly looking at him like grandma, silently letting grandpa let out his pent-up frustration. I love it. Yeah.

Are you Beaver? Yeah, I'm Baby Beaver. Okay. Yep. That's enough, Frank. There was one episode of Seinfeld where he's trying to, that's enough, Frank. Yeah, yeah. I got, yeah. Leah, well, it's either going to be Baby Beaver and when he leaves, it's Laura. Can you, I mean, you are just seeing a little insight of where my brain goes.

She's stuck with it. Wait, she's been very great, though. Not the whole time. There's been some days she's been off, I would say. But no. But lately, it's like I've been calling her if I get frustrated. I've learned you just got to get it out.

So if I get, like, you're on the road, like, something's not going the way I want it. Like, it's not, you know. And I'll just call her, and she lets me just say it. And then I'm usually like, I'm like, oh, all right. And then I'm like, I don't care. Just need a vent. Just need a vent. Well, I get that. Sometimes I call my wife, and I do that, and she goes, yeah, I've heard all this before. This is not a new thing here. My wife will do that, too. But she's gotten, she'll let me do it. I feel like we're in a good relationship.

a good rhythm right now that she lets me do it when it's time for me to do it. But then, you know, when it's 1130 at night and then I'm like, I start rolling. Right. It's like, she's like, all right, all right, that's enough. Yes. Yeah. I followed her to bed. Yeah. And another thing. And I go, let me tell you something else.

Ryan Miner, Dusty said his buddy would throw a cig into a bucket of gasoline. That's because the liquid does not light on fire, but the fumes do. Yeah, I mean, my buddy was, you know, he knew what he was talking about. He did it many times. Yeah. And it would freak us all out. Kind of a Southern Albert Einstein. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he got it. He really got it. He went to jail a lot, but when he was not in jail, he got it. How often? How often?

Well, I think what, I mean, several times, I think what he would just disappear for a while. I got a letter from him at home that I kept. He wrote me from jail and, uh, you know, he would get on probation or whatever and then violate it and keep going back. Yeah. Was jail was just, y'all talked about jail more than you think most families. Yeah.

Well, yeah. I mean, thankfully my family wasn't really going to jail a lot, but my friends were. You're around. It wasn't insane for someone not to be home because of jail. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you're like, where's, they're like, you're like, where's John? I don't know. He's in jail. And then he pops up. Where you been? I was in jail for a while. See, I think people should like, like you should be involved in like,

science experiment, like not experiments, but like science, you should go, you know, you need at Harvard, you need one kid that's like gets jail. Cause he's like, Oh yeah, everybody was in jail. You know? Yeah, I agree. You need that little. Yeah. You know, outlier. Yeah. And people in experiments being like, well, what happens if we do this? And you go, I don't know. Curveball. Curveball. Right. Exactly. Thinking outside the box. A hundred percent. I like it.

Jesse David, Dusty mentioned he loved the dog mascot, and then y'all shut him down saying it was a polar bear. He was thinking about slush puppies. That's what we had in our mom and pop gas station in West Georgia, especially by the trailer parks. I'm sure that's what Dusty found in East Alabama gas stations as well. Well, I appreciate it, Jesse. And you may be right. I may have gotten them confused, but to be, I mean... No, a slush puppy has a dog. But if I'm being completely honest, though, I did think the...

Icy was a dog, too. Icy was a dog, too. I had remembered as a dog. Yeah. And I mean, look at that thing, though. Yeah, it's kind of a bear, but... I got... I mean, it's not kind of a bear. It's a polar bear. It could be a pit bull, though. Look at that thing. It couldn't at all. And it's just completely a bear. A polar bear. I mean, that's the most polar bear...

I think a polar bear would bark at it if it saw it. Yeah, I mean, it's a... I think it's going to turn around, you call it a... Has that always been the logo, though? You know, since they started, but it's... Was there not an older logo? No, it's pretty old. What would the icy 80s logo be? I mean...

No animal at all. They did a lot more merch back then. You type in IC80s logo, it was all, they sold merch. Yeah. Like crazy. You think that was a dog maybe, Dusty? Yeah. I could see that maybe. No, it's still a bear. I mean, just its hands. Well, you give it a little leeway with the hands because we're talking fictional anyway. I mean, not. We're drawing just a drawing of an actual polar bear.

Do you think, I bet you could juke that there. Yeah. He's drinking two ices. Yeah, his bottom's too big. That dude is tired. You just got to get his, if you get his bottom going one way and the top going the other, then I don't think he could swing it back around. Or just pull his turtleneck over his head and confuse him. Yeah. I did get Harper and Icy. I didn't do it that day.

I don't know. Something happened. And then, but then yesterday when I was driving home, I like was going to, I was like going to get one. You can't buy it too far out. You know, I was driving back from Lexington, Kentucky. And so then I like looked it up. I was like typing Icy in Google, on Google Maps, just to see. And there was like two that popped up.

Because I know there's some slush puppies, and she doesn't love that. She wanted an Icy, so I was like, well, I got to find the Icy. And then you're like, how do you stop in there? I stopped at a couple gas stations. They weren't in there. And then so I found one, and it was in this Brentwood Skull and Skating rink. And so I went in there, and I got in there, and I walked in, and I go, hey, I'm just trying to buy an Icy.

And the lady, she started laughing. I go, can I just go buy the Icy? And she goes, yeah. I guess, you know. And then I went and bought two Icy's and left. But was very, very confused. I thought Burger King sold Icy's. I don't know. That's not the real. It doesn't feel right. I can't imagine that would be the full experience. What do you mean? I mean, from Burger King and Icy?

Doesn't sound right. Burger King's struggling if they're like, we're also doing Icy's now. Maybe I'm wrong. Yeah, they partnered with Icy. No, no, no. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying I wouldn't count that as good. As a real Icy? Yeah. If he's desperate. Oh, if it's an Icy machine, yeah. I would have got it. Okay. I mean, I went in. I didn't get the cup. They just had the plastic cups, and they had blue. She likes blue. They had blue and strawberry lemonade.

And that was the only kind they had. They didn't have cherry. They had cola, but I didn't like, you know, but yeah. And then one was just called blue. It's like blue raspberry. That's what, and Harper like that. So, but I got it, uh, made it weird. Yeah. She goes, yeah, just go buy one. And then they watched me. Uh, they followed me around. There's a man just trying to buy an IC. That doesn't make sense. Uh,

All right. Safira Bellhomie.

Bell Home. I bet it's Bell Home. Bell Home. Saphira Bell Home. It's a very, it's a beautiful name. Saphira Bell Home. It is. That would sound like, you know. It is beautiful. Oh, the Bell Homes. Yeah. Oh, you're going in there? I bet the H is silent. I bet it's Bellome. Bellome. No, Bell Home sounds more. Maybe Bellome. Maybe they're. Well, now they live in a different part of town. Yeah. Yeah. They call her Sap Bellome. Yes.

And you're like, all right, well, y'all, we live next door to Dusty. All right. I think it's Safira Bellhomie. And I think a lot of people are like, oh, I was at hers when she turned 16. Her party. What's that party called? Quinceanera. What?

I was just going to say Sweet 16. That's what I meant, Sweet 16. Oh, sorry. You're talking about, is that the Latino one? Yeah. All right. Is she Latino? Could be, man. Could be. We haven't figured out how to pronounce this name. It could be. Either way, she probably had both. I didn't even hear what you- You come from money like that, the Bell Home money. I mean, I think you're doing all cultures. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Dusty, do not eat the seed from inside the nectarine pit. They naturally contain cyanide compounds, which are poisonous. Yeah.

Well, I saw a few people talk about this. A lot of people do. And I just want to maybe take just a brief poll of the room. How many people do you know that have died from nectarine seeds? I don't even know if I've met that many people that are actively eating nectarine. Right. We haven't even nailed down what it is. People called us out again. It's not even a peach. Or it is a peach without hair. Have you ever heard of anybody, though, being like, well, they're in the hospital? What happened? Oh, they ate the nectarine seed. Because they're not.

Because they die. They don't even make it to the hospital. You never heard of either, right? So it's a small amount, and it's not going to – I mean, I can't tell you to eat it. I'm just saying, don't eat it. But I've eaten it. I'm fine.

Yeah. Apricots have it. I've eaten a bunch of apricot seeds. It took me my whole life. You say you're fine. I mean, everybody's listening to this and they're like, you know, what's the level of fine they want? You know, maybe mentally it does something to you, but physically I'm fine. Yeah. Even then. Yeah. Apple seeds have it. I eat, every time I eat an apple, I eat the entire apple. Dusty cut his hair this morning. It grows that fast. Yeah. It's remarkable. We don't know why, but yeah, he is an apple seed.

What were you going to say? I was going to say the same thing about apple seeds. Everybody said my whole life, those are poisonous. And also, you need to rinse the apple in the sink. I was taught that as a child. And I became an adult. I said, I'm not rinsing it, and I'm eating the whole thing. And I don't know if I'm the best advocate for it being healthy. I only rinse fruit just because I can picture my wife or mom just being like, you got to rinse fruit. And I would only do it because of that. I have no...

I want to make sure I get everything off of it. It's just because I don't want – I would picture someone going, why don't you rinse that – I'd do the same thing and wash my hands. Nor would I do it. It's because the people are standing around. Yeah. That's the hardest part. They'll go, don't eat the nectarine pit. And then you'll go, that candy has a weird ingredient, red, yellow five in it. And they'll go, don't be ridiculous. Yeah.

Is that like red yellow five is like starburst? It's like mellow yellow. Mellow yellow. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they're like, that could hurt your body. Don't be ridiculous. Drink the Mountain Dew. Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah. What about Dasani water?

Well, I don't think it's poison, but it lists salt in the ingredients. And I feel like every time I drink it, I'm like, I feel like I'm thirsty. It's got sodium. I knew someone that had it once and they didn't want to drink it because they had a lot of sodium in it. And I remember like, what? And then it kind of got in my head about it. Yeah. It lists sodium thing, but it also lists, it just says the word salt. Right.

on Dasani. I saw a tweet once that said, Dasani water tastes like it's been sitting in a water gun. And that really ruined Dasani for me, that tweet, because I can't get that out of my head. Yeah, it's hard. You get little weird stuff in your head, then you're kind of done. Are you eating a lot of... I mean, how many nectarine pits are we trying to get to? I wouldn't eat it just because I don't want to eat an apple seed. Well, they don't taste good. Yeah. Yeah.

So there's no need to eat it, but I just think this is dramatic here. Okay. There's a good mix in between that. Like, let's just agree. It's weird. It's not a tasty treat. Yeah.

Would you ask someone else to get you like, hey, I'm just trying to get to that pit. Do you mind eating the nectarine around it? Yeah, whenever someone's like eating that little hole, I go, when you're done with that, let me crack it open. Do you eat the unpopped kernels of popcorn? I'll give them at least 40% popped.

I would, I'd give it. Oh, you don't need a straight up Colonel. Yeah. Just the Colonel. Just swallow it. I got lost in the, in the, Oh yeah. Yeah. I almost like it better than the pop pop. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's what, you know, uh,

why waste the time heating it up, right? It's already in your hoodie. Might as well just go ahead and finish it off. Yeah. I do. Do you ever take, see how many you get all popped? That's fun. And then you're like, ooh. What's your record percentage-wise? I can never get 100%. It's never, yeah. I've had it close. I feel like I've had like, you know, where you're like a couple were down there and you're like,

Are we talking a microwave or you guys do it in the pan? Microwave. Okay. Yes, you're out. I like to do it on the pan. Yeah, we're not frontiersmen from the 1910s. Yeah, I love to do it on the pan. Well, family doesn't believe in microwaves. That makes sense. Exactly.

Daniel Hall, as a fat. I love fat as a noun. Yeah. I'm offended that I listened to a whole podcast about gas stations and not one time was Hunt Brothers Pizza brought up. It is a staple of any good gas station. If I wanted pizza and the only two choices were Pizza Hut and Hunt Brothers, I'd choose Hunt Brothers every time.

Interesting. Yeah. I looked at. I know everyone did look at me immediately. I do have thoughts on this. I like Godfather's pizza might be my favorite of gas station pizza. Also 7-Eleven pizza. Very good. Underrated. And there's also a chain. If you guys know Casey's General Store. Oh, yeah. I've been to Casey's a lot. They take a lot of pride in their pizza. People from areas where they have Casey's are like, it's the best pizza in town. And it's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah.

One time I was in Nebraska and I asked the people at the hotels in a small town. I was like, hey, you got any local restaurants around here? And she goes, there's a KC's down there. And I was like, what's KC's? She goes, it's a gas station. I go, oh, KC's. KC's. And gas station. That's not what I'm looking for. But you're right. The pizza is good. Okay. Sorry.

That's always a joke I wanted to make, and I was like, this is my opportunity. Yeah. It never worked anywhere. I feel about it now. I feel the best that that's the best it's ever done. Would you all end it with a compliment after the joke? Yeah, I don't. It doesn't really go, and then you go, pizza's actually pretty good. I don't want people to feel bad about their local pizza joint. I understand that. I understand that. I saw almost a standalone Pizza Hut coming home.

I ate like a maniac. We did a Greg Warren special was awesome. It went great. Lexington comedy off Broadway. A lot of, a lot of folks came out and they were awesome. They're super cool. Uh, I met a lot of them and, uh, Greg murdered. I mean, it was just awesome. Uh, and then when I drove home, like I was, today's my day of starting back to eat, eat good. And, uh, you said last week was, it was. And then this week, just starting, it was like kind of half and half starting now.

Uh, it was like half and half. And then it was like, all right, well, I'll just start Monday. And then my drive home yesterday, it was my own trail of tears. It was took you eight hours to get home. I mean, it took, uh, that's very good. I thought of that yesterday. Um,

It was, I mean, I just stopped. I was like, I will try to go get donuts. And then I missed it. Oh, that donut gas station on the way back is really great. Yeah. You know what? Yeah, I was trying to find something like that. I didn't see that. A donut gas station? On the way to Lexington, there is a, they make donuts in that gas station. It's so good. There you go, man. Yeah. Go back. I know. So I didn't get that. So then I thought, well, I'll just eat McDonald's. And then so I went and got McDonald's.

And then, I mean, I was basically just going from like, I would eat the food, stop at another fast food to throw that trash away to then get another fast food. And so I was like kind of going back. I had a bunch of candy.

Then I saw Dairy Queen when I was coming back in. I was like, well, I'm going to go get a Blizzard. Went in to get that Blizzard. This was like – I was about in Gullitsville. And go to get a Blizzard, and I walk in there, and a guy that I grew up with was in there. Like, I didn't recognize him, but he was like –

His name's Paul. We grew up. He grew up kind of in Old Hickory. And I was like, that's crazy, dude. I'm just driving, stopping. He was in there alone, too? No, no. He was with, yeah, both getting blizzards. No, no. He was there. He was in there with, I think, his church group because it was Sunday. And then I was like, man, that's crazy. You're like, this is my church. I go, yeah. I guess get blizzards, too. I did after I- What's the name of this church? I don't remember. What? What?

Sounds like a good one. Oh, hey. Oh, you're going to go to it? We don't like when you make fat jokes about you, Aaron. It's only us that are allowed to do it. You know, it gets sad when you're in the shape you're in. There is nothing like throwing away a fast food bag as you enter another fast food restaurant. It could be very interesting to go look at fast food trash cans and just what's in there. And it's like how many is just even a McDonald's bag.

that you're from another McDonald's. Yeah, yeah. That you just threw it away there. I gotta have the, like, it's, I'm not, I can't ride with, once I eat it, it's like, I need to get it out of the, I don't want to throw it away. I can never just sit in the car and just have, like, trash laying around. Yeah. I can't either. Mm-hmm.

Now, do you call Eric as your sponsor sometimes? Like, I'm having problems, man. Well, this was a little long. This is about, we went to Hawaii with my family. That was like a nine-day kind of run. So, something similar along this run.

And I would say the week wasn't as insane, but last night was pretty wild. Yesterday was a wild one. I had Sonic. I mean, yesterday, I had, yeah. Oh, you had Sonic, too? Yeah. So you had McDonald's, Dairy Queen, Sonic. Sweet Tarts, some Nerd Clusters. I think a Slushy, too. Icy. I had an Icy. I ate that last night. I ate chocolate ice cream, milk in a cup.

Pour milk on it and eat it. Oh, yeah. Someone pointed out that last week you said, tonight's going to be my cheat day. After you talked about the weekend where you just over and over and over. Oh, yeah. They were like, I love it. This is his cheat day. It ended up being dragged out. Yeah. And then Sunday was a true cheat.

I mean, run of it. It was just like, boom, just hitting everything. Yeah. I'm happy for you, man. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. So it was good. Yeah. And now we'll get back. You know, I finally was like, all right, all right, all right. I got to get it back together. I had granola, yogurt and granola today. Big fan of that. I never had that till recently. And that's like my that's the best thing I've ever had. Daniel Hall. I mean, we just did Daniel.

Chase Thomas. Hey, Bear. See, that works right there. I like that. Hey, Bear. I just want to say I live in Hawaii and none of the gas stations here have the lock on the pumps. So I could just imagine Dusty driving around to every gas station and never finding one with the lock on the pump and eventually just running out of gas, then leaving the car there.

Yeah. You would do that? Yeah. I mean, that would be – honestly, I think I would get to the second one and just go, all right, I guess that's what's going on around here. But then never let the gas get low in the car so you don't have to stand there very long. You got to – yeah, and you'd have to just put the top. Yeah. Now I know that. I'm into that. But you might have to cut if it's got the little thing.

A little plastic rope that holds on to it. Oh, yeah. You got to probably get rid of that. Sometimes they won't reach. Got a pocket knife? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. In Hawaii. What would you do if you can't fly with one? Do you land and first stop and buy a pocket knife? Well, you put it in the checked bag. You can get through it. Yeah. Yeah. That's what happens when you're on the plane, though. Something goes down. Well, you just can't cut anything. Mm-hmm.

You just got to be ready with your hands. Yeah. Or a fork. Or hand to hand. Or you can get a cigar cutter on a plane. So if somebody attacks, you can try to get their finger in there. When you go to the bathroom on a plane, are you really looking at everybody? Yeah, I check them out. I like to see what's going on in there. Yeah. I also like them to see me going to the bathroom because I'll go to the bathroom very fast.

Like, I like to be going to the bathroom before we're technically allowed. Oh. So I like people to see that that's happening. Yeah. I like to be like- You're like the guy that sets it up. Yeah. I guess we can go to the bathroom now. Look at me. Yeah. You don't even have to go. You just want to show them you can do it. Yeah. I'm like, you guys are, you guys have to use the bathroom right now, but I'm doing it. Yeah. That makes me feel good. Aaron said he's never used the bathroom on a plane. Yeah. Yeah.

I actually just used it. Oh, really? On a flight. Yeah. How was it? It was pretty unremarkable. I love it. I was in and out. What happened that made you break your street? I don't know what I was so afraid of. Break your street. Well, it's just, you know. Life. I didn't time things out. Life happened. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it was a big moment for me. Did you have to leave the door open? Yeah.

It was pretty jam-packed in there. You asked her, you go, you mind shutting that curtain? You go, why? Because I'm not getting this door shut. Can you lean on this door for me? Oh, that's funny. Jalen Gibson. Gibson. Gibson. Jalen. Gibson. Gibson. Probably Gibson.

G-I-P-S-O-N? Say Gibson. Gibson. The Gip- Gibson family. I bet a lot of people say Gibson. I bet they say Gibson. And he goes, Gip. Gip. He goes, Gip. Yeah. Yeah. He goes, Gip. He goes, all right, what's your first name? Jalen. They go, Gip.

The guy just walks away. It's a problem. Yeah. New Braunfels, Texas. Maybe the current largest location, but Severeville, Tennessee will soon be the home to the largest Buc-ee's in America. And it already is the home.

They're building it. Oh, they're building it in Sevierville. That's near Dollywood. It's where my uncle lives, Sevierville. Oh, yeah. A Buc-ee's near Dollywood is going to be insane. It's going to be, yeah. Because you go through Sevierville on your way to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Maybe they can get a trolley that'll just take you from the Buc-ee's to the Dollywood. Ski lift. Yeah. This is like the type of business plan that you're like, well, y'all are the smartest people that have ever lived. They go, where should we put an office?

an oversized gas station. Where's that market? I'll tell you where that market's at. That market's going to Smoky Mountains. Yeah, I mean, you could go to Buc-ee's and then just cancel the trip to Dollywood. Oh, yeah. We don't need to see it now. You could probably convince a young enough kid that this is Dollywood. Yeah, yeah. You know? Um...

J. Caleb Mitchell. When Nate mentioned his gas station hot dog before I knew exactly what he was talking about, we used to park behind the Smoky Mountain Grill before Tennessee home games and walk across Henley Bridge to the games. I only remember having a hot dog from there once before they closed for good. Smoky Mountain Grill wasn't actually a gas station, but it was wedged between a gas station and a mechanics shop.

Couldn't find anything about the actual store, but that's the bridge right there. I saw a picture. I think it's called Smoky Mountain Market. And there was a, I saw one Google image of it. But does that sound right, Nate? Yeah. A few people said that. Yeah, yeah. If they're saying that, then that has to be it. I don't know if I would have even realized. But that was, yeah, that does look, that's it. Look, you could easily confuse that with a gas station.

Yeah. Yeah. If you don't want to be considered a gas station, don't look so much like it. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I did get gas there, so I guess they were selling something. No. There it is. Yeah. Oh, how good. What happened? That dadgum place. Mm-hmm. Didn't make it. All right. All right. Ben Meehan. Ben Meehan. Meehan. Meehan. Meehan.

I recently convinced my wife to start listening to the podcast, and she happened to be watching the malls episode this morning. I overheard Aaron getting sappy about how malls bring everyone together, yada, yada, yada. I knew it sounded familiar. I think what's still appealing about a mall is there's no other place in American life where there's just a...

cross section where all different types of people are in there. I don't know if there's another place where you go and you just see people all different background races. It's America. Everybody has to stop there.

I think that's still working. It looks, yeah. Wow. I mean, it's word for word almost. It's unbelievable. Wow. I don't remember that at all. Yeah. So what it looks like here is go to your, it looks like a NASCAR. Yeah. So when you got all the NASCAR stuff on, it looks like, hey, we don't have like a real Southern guy. And then, so you're having to play that part and then go to when you have the soccer. We're like, well, we got Dusty now, so you can kind of go back to normal. Yeah. And now you're back to, like Dusty is now our...

NASCAR guy. Yeah. It's like the two of us together are that guy. Yeah. Look at the difference though, dude. You still have lost so much weight. That face, man. Yeah. You like lost weight and I became that weight that was lost. It just transferred over to a person. You made it dusty. It's tough to think you have a really original thought. You're like, I made that exact. Well, it's still your thought. You just said it a couple of times. About two different things. But I believe in more about gas stations.

You're looking on us. We were talking about malls, and now he's saying gas stations are the only last American. Malls, honestly, a bit of a reach now, looking back. Well, that was early in the podcast. We were describing. This is a different time. It's a different world. You're right.

I mean, it is crazy how much weight you lost when you look at it. That's pretty wild, dude. Tough angle. I'm sitting there right there. There? I wouldn't say no. I mean, it's just... I mean, there is insane, dude. That's... Yeah. That's a... That guy is... A 4XL NASCAR jacket? You look like you're drinking bush on the way in here. Yeah. You can't... I'm surprised you were able to use the bathroom in my house. Where's Aaron? He's in the backyard. Yeah.

That's very funny. Ben, that was a very great edit. Man, that's awesome, Ben. That's awesome. That's been one of my... That's so funny. Yeah, Ben, I'd like you to edit some videos for me. Yeah, well, Ben, he's got the time. All right. This week, we kind of mentioned earlier...

Talk about compass. Can I mention this past weekend? You cannot. Okay.

I already started my thing. All right, that's fine. No, I'm joking. You mentioned this guy. Well, I did some shows with Angela Johnson, and she also recorded her special, and it was at the Ramen Auditorium in Nashville. And that is just, if you grew up here, it's such an honor to get to perform at that venue. It is just one of the best places to do a show in the world. And she killed and taped her special. It was great. So it was just a super fun experience.

special weekend to get to perform there. That's awesome. It is great. It's an amazing place. Yeah, we had Greg's special was great. I mean, it was, I did a lot more directing this time. I talked on the mics a lot. Like a lot. Oh, really? To whom? The rest of the crew? Yeah, the camera. Yeah, the camera crew. And last time I didn't talk at all. Like, I still don't know how to like tell people to like some of the camera. Like, I don't know all the stuff. Yeah.

But I, but it's like, I can just kind of vision like how we started it. I kind of like, it was like you come in, like it's, I like directing. It's pretty awesome. Cause it's like, you're not having to be on camera, which is awesome. And you're just kind of being there. And then you just kind of get a walk behind. Like, I'm like, all right, just go here. And then, you know, it's, and I'm not directing much.

it's a standup special is just a standup special and you want it to feel like that. But just the, the entrance and the vibe, like I look at like the entrance and then, uh, when you leave, you know, it doesn't need to be long, but it's like, that kind of sets the tone. Also just the look and feel of it too, right? Yeah. Yeah. The look and feel of it, but you don't want to take too much away. Like it's like, it's about the jokes. Uh,

but I, like when I, like when I do it, like with Vecchione's and with Greg's, it's like, you just kind of, I kind of try to picture their act and picture them and be like, so the entrance and kind of just fit somewhat along with what they, you know, it just kind of rolls right into it. And, uh, so, I mean, and Greg, I mean, Greg just, I mean, he destroyed. And so I don't know when these are going to come out. We are still figuring that kind of stuff out. Vecchione's is about done. Uh, we just did Greg's. And so, uh,

I don't know when these are going to come out. We're trying to find the best place for them to come out, the best how they're going to come out, all that kind of stuff. So bear with me on that kind of stuff. I mean, you're going to see them soon, but we've got to figure out what's the best way to do this. And we're working on that now. So, yeah, that'll be fun.

All right. So then you were in Dallas. I was in Dallas. I did a whole Texas run. Houston, Wednesday night. Then I was in Bryan, Texas. Then all weekend in Dallas. And God, the shows are so great. So many people came out. It was amazing. I had a nice, fun, like humbling moment. I pull up Friday to the club and there's like a line outside. I'd never seen them.

Like a lion like that? And I was like, oh, this is awesome. And I'm walking in. I'm like, oh, man, so many people came out. And as I'm walking in, I hear some guy say to his wife, he goes, I don't know, some guy named Aaron Weaver. I was like, oh, yeah. Here we go. But the crowds were great, man. So thank you to everybody that came out. That's awesome. Aaron Lee. Well, I was in Dayton, Ohio with a funny bone, and it was great. A lot of Nate Lynn people came out. I got some gifts.

I got some cigars, and it was great. We had a lot of fun. So really great. There you go. Appreciate people coming. I mean, no specials. Nothing got filmed. Gosh, it was good. Yeah. Yeah. Should have been filmed. Should have been filmed. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So this week, we're talking about language.

A wise man once said, words are all that matter. But he also said he doesn't listen to the lyrics of songs. He also said about 30 minutes ago, I'm not good with words. I'm not good with words, but words are all that matter. Compass. Compass, yeah.

Yeah, sometimes even just saying a word wrong can really confuse people. I mean, a lot of times. Matter of fact. Yeah. I mean, I was listening to podcasts. I listened to All My Drive Home. It was wonderful. Just drove alone. And I listened to some music on the way back. But I was thinking, like, I even tried to, when I listened to it, I tried to think, all right, let me listen to what this song's about. And I just...

I'm thinking about so much stuff. So it's like maybe I just want it on and it doesn't really matter what it's saying to me. I think that's what most people are doing. Yeah. I know Old Red. That's the one. That's the only one that I'm like, I know that story. Blake Shelton. Blake Shelton, Nobody Gets Past Red? Yeah. That one I'm like- That's a great song. Yeah. That one I'm like, Blue Tick Hound. That was the only one that I'm like, yeah.

Because it's like a very, it's just a guy telling a story. It's very explicit. There's so many great storytelling country songs though. Gosh, so many.

Trudy by Charlie Daniels is one of my favorites. Trudy is a great song. Yeah. Wanted by Alan Jackson because he basically just has to talk it out, part of that, where he's putting the ad in, wanting a new line. He goes, wanted. But he goes, wanted woman. No, no. No, that's Bon Jovi. He goes, what's that?

No, this is personal. Oh, yeah. He just has to say it. It's so good. I bet he just felt awkward even recording that in the studio. I forgot about that one. That is a really good one. What is the country song you showed me, Brian? We were driving back from Alabama, and you put on the saddest song I've ever heard in my entire life. Oh, it was Kathy Matea, Where Have You Been? Okay, yeah. I don't know if I know that one. It's about...

This couple, they grow old together, and then they've never been apart, but then they both go in the hospital, and I think one of them's lost their memory, and it's autobiographical for me probably. And then they roll them into the hospital bed together in the same room, and then the person who hasn't remembered anything is like, where have you been? They remember their spouse. It's a very sweet, but very...

teared up in this car on the way back. Yeah, the whole way home we would try to test each other with sad songs. Oh, that's a good, that's fun. That one took the cake. Yeah. I think I could just sit and handle it. You wouldn't hear any of the words, yeah. Yeah.

I would try to, because in my head, you got to really, yeah. In my head, the whole time, if I try, I'm going, listen, listen, listen, listen. That's what it is in my head. Is that where I'm going, listen, pay attention, listen. And then it's like, you can't sink into it. You said this is your trouble with movies too, is you can't, you're not invested in the characters ever at all. You don't care about the character development. Yeah. I thought, yeah, watching a movie, I started trying to watch something last night.

And I'm just almost trying to avoid the beginning of it. And then I'm like, wait, but I should be...

Wanting the beginning. Because I realized, oh, I'm supposed to have some... Invest in this character. You're supposed to care about this. Yeah, but I don't care. I just enjoy... You just want to get the action. It's like, just get to the fun part. And I'm just watching. I am very in the moment. In your moment, whatever. In a movie. I'm only thinking about...

the thing that I'm looking at. I'm never thinking about the whole movie. I'm just looking at frame by frame. Frame by frame. I just go, yep, yep, yep. And if that's a fun frame, then that's a fun frame. And then, yeah, I don't. Like, I mean, yeah, I don't know. Do you see stuff coming? Maybe. Not anymore. I mean, but I just, you know, like I watched Salt last night. Oh, I watched Salt last night. Look at. Angelina Jolie? Yeah. Yeah.

So it was great. Yeah. And it's fun. Yeah. And so I watched that. So look at this scene. I filmed this on my phone, so I'm hoping it doesn't.

Does that usually matter? Or if you film it on your phone? We're going to find out. It's illegal, I think. If you haven't seen Salt, I'm not ruining it. I don't think I'm ruining it. I don't know. It's a 20-year-old movie, probably. Yeah, it's an old movie. But just watch Salt, and then you're going to see. Just play this clip. Just play this clip. This is Angelina Jolie. So that guy's the president behind her, behind him. Just look at the president. The president is the important part. That's him.

She's here. Now watch him. Uncomfortable is now watch him run. Wait till you see this. Look at him run. That's it. So go back.

The guy that plays the president in this movie, it looks like whoever they had to play the president just quit. And they had to find a guy. And they say, you don't got a lot of lines, but you got to play the president. And then he looks like a mess. Like he's never acted...

Watch him watch him... He's never ran. Go back even before that. He's watching him like his hair's a mess. He's looking at him like he's a real actor. He's like, God, this guy's good. You tell him in his head, he's like, this guy's good. What? What? Who? They go, we're going to give you a couple lines. Look at him. He's just...

He's like, all right. He's stiff, and then they get running. And I mean, he gallops like a horse. It's like the Secret Service is carrying a horse out. He's got a limp. This guy's got a limp. I mean, this guy is, it's so funny. The whole time, you're just kind of like, he just doesn't fit in this movie.

Because it's just like, I mean, look how hard, like they grab him. Honestly, I would bet, I honestly would, I would agree that if they said the guy that played the president quit, he just walked off and then, or like he wants more money and the director goes, I'll get anybody to play the president. It's a dumb part. And they literally grabbed just a guy and his hair doesn't, he doesn't look very presidential. They didn't really fix it.

He looks like, it looks like if they got me just to play the president. Yeah. And he's like, look how good this guy's acting is. That's when his head. And he's like, all right, now they're going to take you out. And he's like,

He goes, just run like normal. Just be normal. He's like, what if I gallop? What if I do a gallop? And then they go, I mean, okay, do a gallop. And that was the best take they had. I mean, it was so good. It was so good. It's unreal. Yeah. Yeah. I would love, you know, look up and see if, just as we're about to get into the language, if the president, is this brought up anywhere else? Like, because it's, it was, I was like, golly.

All right. Nothing coming up right away, but I'll look. Mm-hmm. I'll look into it. Okay. It's going to be awkward running on camera, but that was... But, I mean, everybody else is doing it, and it just doesn't make... Yeah, he's just like a horse.

It's like a horse. The one guy even had a hand on his shoulder. Like, what happens if that hand's not there? How high is the gallop? Oh, yeah. That was almost like a balancing move. It's what they do to horses before they go to Kentucky Derby. They're leading them around. I mean, they were having to hold this guy down, like in the elevators, like when the horse gets in the haystack. Yeah, this is like at a rodeo. Yeah, he's about to go out on the chute. When they get in the stall, they're hunt-blocked. That's his name, hunt-blocked.

First big break was selling Buick Sentries at the Chicago Auto Show. That makes sense. I don't know that that's a break, really. Then he was Norman Lee on the Brinks job. I mean, maybe he's an awesome actor. This kind of thing was... This is his biggest credit. He's on Knott's Landing. That was a big show for you, right? Big show. As the world turns, a soap opera guy. Yeah. And I mean, it just... But I mean, he plays the president in this movie.

President Lewis. And then it seems like he's kind of slowed down after this. I don't know if that run helped him. His podcast might help him. Get back on the map. Look, I'm a fan. Guy's got a big neck. He does. His neck's as big as his head. He does. Hunt Block. Yeah. Language. Yeah. Language. Language.

Look at that neck on that guy. Yeah. He does have a big neck. It's like a horse. Yeah. He's got a horse neck. I'm not trying to make fun of this guy. Not at all. I'm completely, it is, I don't want to. Salt block is what comes up. Yeah, it's a tough, tough to Google salt block. Salt block is, you know, something you give to horses too, I think. That's true.

You give them a salt block. Yeah. Or cattle, for sure. Yeah, you give them a salt block. Yeah, I bet a horse would love a salt block. Oh, is that a salt lick? Is that what it means? They just lick the block? Yeah. They like it. It's a treat. Yeah. Okay. Well, with language, they think there's between 6,000 and 7,000 different languages spoken in the world. There you go. At least they narrowed it down. Yeah. Well, there's so many, they just...

There's one guy left who speaks it. Oh, really? One guy. So they're just trying to get it down before he dies. He's not really saying it a lot, I guess. He has no one to talk to. No one understands him. Where does he live? He lives in Ecuador. For that matter, I got a 17-month-old daughter that kind of speaks her own language. That's true. Sorry. He lives in Peru near Ecuador, and they got his name here. New York Times did an article on him.

So his name's Medio Garcia Garcia. He's the only one left. And so now the Peru Ministry of Culture is trying to do a database of 1500 words that his language speaks, 27 stories and three songs that they've collected from him to try to preserve this language.

This is when newspapers are going to die, dude. Yeah. Because you got to subscribe. I've reached my limit of free articles. What do you get? How many do you get? I mean, I think you get two or three, but I'll just open up a little private window. Oh, and that works? Right there. I didn't even see what you did. God. Now they're on to that. They're on to that. They got you. They know. Bummer. Yeah.

Yeah, they don't. This is, I won't, once this goes away. But I mean, how are they supposed to get money? I guess ads. But if you're not subscribing, you're not going to see the ads. Mm-hmm. We'll have to put on a reader mode. Oh, yeah, yeah. You do reader mode. Ooh, and that helps. But then you miss out on all the pictures. Yeah, but it's all right.

The Toshiro tribe vanished into the jungles of Amazon. That's how they know how dumb we are. It's like, yeah, we'll give it free for reader mode. Yeah. And you go, well, I'm not going to do that. So the pictures go away? And they go, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. The pictures go away. Good luck. Good luck getting through that. What is it? You know.

How could someone ever read this long of a thing? I don't. I could read this, and I don't think I would ever fully grasp it.

That's what I say. If I scroll up and it's longer than a couple of swipes, I'm like, oh, I'm out. This is so many swipes, dude. I'm still scrolling. Try to wrap this up. I want to read stuff, and I just don't think I could get it. I mean, I look at books, and I want to so bad, and I just... Even the audio books, I try, and I did like them, and then it's like I just end up trailing off, and I'm like, I don't even know what...

I'm listening to. I don't know how I take in information. It's not easy. It's not easy. It's not easy. I think you have to want to. It has to be something you're interested in. It has to be something I'm interested in. But also at the same time, a keen eye to catch the running of the man in the movie. So maybe you're blocking out real storylines and you're picking up other stuff. Yeah, did that take you out of the story once you noticed that? Because that would... I'm not even in the story.

I don't know. Okay. It doesn't take me. Well, there was a. Yeah, I'm not like. I imagine like when you watch a movie, you're like on an island and you're like just like visualizing like you're, you know, taking it all in like or something. I mean, I don't even. It's not even. I watched that movie Smile last night. Have you seen the trailer for that? Like horror movie? Yeah. It's about like a.

They smile at you. Yeah. And I just decide I'm going to sink into this. I'm in this world for an hour and a half. It's pretty fun. It's an immersive experience. Is it gory? It's pretty gory. A lot of jump scenes. A lot of just looming dread. I don't think I'm out of looming dread. No real joy. Yeah, I'm not into that myself. The gore is what I don't. There's some pretty bad gore. Yeah.

Called Smile. Yeah. Yeah. It should be called We're Having a Good Time. Yeah. Perfect. So there's titles for people who can speak multiple languages. If you can speak three languages, you're called a polyglot. Doesn't sound favorable. It does not. Polyglot. That sounds like you've eaten a lot. How'd you get that?

Well, if you can speak 12 languages or more, you're a hyper polyglot. Yeah, you're like, golly, don't be around that guy. He's got the glottis. How many hyper polyglots are there, do you think, realistically in the world? 12 languages or more fluently? There's a guy who, he's a carpet cleaner, and it's kind of like Rain Man. He has the ability to speak like 23 languages.

And he's a carpet cleaner? Yeah, he's like... I hope he's an international carpet cleaner. No, he's just here and lives with his mom, I think. He just lives in Omaha? He speaks 12 languages? Yeah, he speaks. I don't think it's Omaha, but he's just a guy who's barely getting by. That's the carpet cleaning capital of the world. Yeah. So I don't know why he wouldn't be there. But it's a special part of your brain that... He's barely getting by? Okay.

He should look into just, you know, being a translator. Well, I shouldn't. He could really. I don't know how well he's doing. Okay. I guess I should have said that, but he's not killing it. Yeah. Uh,

Maybe they haven't wooed him over with enough money. Yeah. Because I make that doing two apartments a day. When we talked about the Navajo language, which you said is one of the hardest. Nate pointed out you just throw rocks at people's heads. That's the language. You said there was a guy who speaks a lot of language who said that's one of the hardest languages. Navajo, yeah, yeah. Was he a hyper polyglot? I think, yeah. I mean, I don't even count it, but I think about 12, yeah. But it's rare enough that this guy has a YouTube channel and I'm like,

It's amazing. So it's funny that they have a term for it. I can't imagine there are that many in the world. I was just curious. Here's a couple of polyglots. Dikembe Mutombo speaks nine language. Wow, almost. Might as well go to 12. Yeah. Trevor Noah speaks seven languages. Wow. Yeah, I would stay at seven. Nine, I would think go to 12. Seven, I'd be like, I'm good.

Now, I don't know how fluently he speaks them. A lot of these languages, not that I can. That's all you get? Well, it's only two people I recognize. Alania Trump, doesn't she speak a ton of languages? I don't know. All right. A lot of the words, even though I can't speak any other languages. Five. All right, so she's a polyglot. I would stay at five. I think you get to nine, you got to be like.

I could see nine. You're like, I don't know. If you can speak nine, you got to wonder if you can't just do them all. Yeah. But I'm just like, do you go to 12 to be, you know? I'm so close to being a hyperpolyglot. I mean, nine is like, I think you're talking, you're thinking about it. I think five or six, seven, you're just, you're happy to be where you're at. You have no, you don't need much more than that. You're like, I can talk to quite a few people. I can, I'll get around.

C-3PO could do 6 million. Could he really? Yeah. Oh, wow. Oh, because he was space travel. C-3PO. Well, he was a robot. I don't know if... Yeah, well, there's only 6,000 on Earth, you said. Yeah. Yeah. So he was getting around. Oh, so including that. Yeah. But he was a computer. Yeah. Exactly.

I mean, a lot of the languages, the words are similar. Like, I took Latin in high school, and like, love is like amor, amore. I think that's similar in almost every language. Is Latin different than Spanish? It is different, but there's some similarities. What's the Spanish word for love?

Amore. Love. Okay, so. Love. El love. El love. Wait, if, so, but why would you learn Latin? Why do people learn Latin? Because it's. I just took it because my friends were in high school. It's a dead language, but. I know, but I think they told you to when we were in high school. Well, because a lot of words derive from Latin that a lot of doctors and lawyers use, and everybody, my friends say, oh, I'm going to be a doctor or a lawyer. So I'm like, I am too. And.

It's the building block of a lot of other languages like English. So it's like you need to learn Latin first. You read Latin and you're like, oh, I see the start of some English in that. I think many of our words derive from Latin. Tough to really call that a dead language if everything's deriving from it. There's nobody fluently speaking it, I guess. I mean, you could learn it, but you wouldn't have many conversations.

You get a lot of them started. They go, okay, okay. That's what the Romans spoke, right? You could ask for a glass of water. You could be like, okay, I think I'll get you. And maybe they bring the wrong size glass, but you know. Yeah, and you could understand a Catholic mass. Yeah, that's right. When Rome ruled the world, they spoke Latin. So that's why all the words come from that, many of the words. But if you want to learn Chinese Mandarin, which they say is the hardest language to learn, that's totally different.

Yeah, I've seen that on a guy on YouTube does that. He, it's a white guy that goes and talks in like, maybe is it this, is that guy on the left? That's the guy I've been talking to. It blows people's minds, right? No. Yeah. It's not this guy. This guy goes into, uh, it's not that guy. He goes into like a, like a, uh, like Chinese restaurants and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. And we'll talk to them. And I mean, they're like,

really blown away. Yeah. Because it's the language that he's, it's, they're like, how do you know? It's so specific. Yeah. It's even more than just knowing some of it. He'll start speaking in Chinese and they're like, well, we actually speak Cantonese and he'll start speaking Cantonese and Mandarin and yeah, it's wild, dude. Yeah. You want to hear what ancient Latin sounds like? Fluent Latin? You speak Latin and ancient Greek too? Yeah. Ancient Greek's coming along. Ancient Greek's harder to try to learn how to speak. Um,

I don't know modern Greek very well yet. Sounds American so far. Yeah, I'm thinking I know it. That's not Latin. Why is that guy laughing at it? I think he's impressed. Who speaks the language? What are you talking about? These are both like language gaps. Oh, why is that guy laughing? Because I think it's like...

Because he's so bad? No, I think he's impressed, right? No, I think he's amazed by it because it's not a language you hear spoken very often. He's speaking ancient Greek. Is he? Well, keep pressing play because it seems like he's just laughing at him. Yeah. It's like you and Dusty with the ads. You're just trying not to laugh. Well, it's just a weird way to handle that situation. Have you ever seen musicians where they're jamming together?

and one of them does a crazy thing on the guitar, the reaction of the rest of the band is they laugh. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I don't know if I see that situation all the time. Because they're impressed, right? Like, this is unbelievable. Yeah. It's like a release. Right, right. And I think they understand how crazy that is that he speaks ancient Greek. Okay. Yeah, now I'm fine. Something to think about. I thought exioma...

Candlelit Ware, not good over Luke. Yeah, it's tough to say if Luke's doing it well based on his reaction, but I do think he's impressed. Yeah, they talked for 50 minutes, so I mean, they clearly get along, but I would have

If I was Luke, I definitely, when we stopped, would have been like, yo, what was up with the Latin thing? Yeah, I can't do it while you're laughing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would definitely have said, maybe asked him that in Latin. During it, go, what is your problem? Where do you get off? Yeah. That's what I would, that's maybe the first words I'd want to learn. In Latin. Where do you get off? Yeah. Yeah.

They say that the reason Chinese Mandarin is so hard to learn is because there's no alphabet. It's symbols. So they have like 8,000 symbols for the words. So it's kind of hard to learn. Like, yeah, like a circle, line. I guess so. You don't say circle, line. Yeah. You're like, square, triangle, circle. And they're like, God, all right, I'm running late. I'm sorry. Yeah, I mean, the written Chinese language is mind-blowing. I mean, it is...

I don't know what's happening. Yeah, it seems like it'd be a lot to write. But a lot of people say that English is like, especially, I guess like American English is very hard to learn because there's so many words that, you know, they sound the same, but they're used differently, spelled differently, but sound the same. Like their and your. To. To. Mm-hmm.

Did you know there's a sentence that they said, it's a grammatically correct sentence, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. And I looked it up how, what that means. I guess Buffalo means to bully. I never heard that. But so if a Buffalo- How do you memorize all that? Do you know how many you do? I looked it up last night. I'm like, I got to tell them about this. It's eight buffaloes. Eight buffaloes. And have you heard this, Aaron? No.

Yeah, I haven't, I don't know how it diagrams out. This reads as like, usually this would come from Aaron. I know, I know. And you kind of perked up and was like, oh good, Aaron knows this, so he'll bail me out. Tides have turned. But it's basically like if a buffalo is from Buffalo, and then they buffaloed some other buffaloes who were from Buffalo, and it just, but that's a grammatically correct sentence.

It says a semantically equivalent form preserving the original word order is, so this is another way to word that sentence, buffalo bison, that other buffalo bison bully also bully buffalo bison.

Or we say Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. You can do Will. Will can do like Will, Will, Will, like the name, and then you have like you're willing something or will they do it. You sound like you're making yours up. Well, I am making mine up. I feel like there needs to be an A in there, though.

Will, will, and will. I would think if you saw this happening and were trying to stop it, you would say it. You'd go, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, and they'd be like, huh? You'd go, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. And you'd be like, there's a, where, where? You'd go break up a Buffalo fight. And you would say it like that instead of the bison outside, you know, whatever. All right.

Yeah. The official language of the skies is English. No matter what country you're in, pilots and crew have to know English. At least some degree English. Because we made flying. Well, yeah. Yeah. We did it really well. We did it right with the rights. With the rights. Just forget to choose the language. Well, with air traffic control and stuff, they have to have a kind of a standard language that you know. And there were some crashes because of some...

Confusion with communication. Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. And he goes, huh? No, no, there's a mountain. There's a mountain and another plane coming. Buffalo? Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo? I don't know. This guy's out of his mind. One guy speaks this language. I think I read where in Korea there was a crash because...

In Korea, the culture is very much if someone's senior over you, you don't talk down to them or even disrespect them. And the senior pilot, I guess, was more senior than the air traffic controller. So he just wasn't getting the message right. And they end up crashing because that guy wanted to be respectful to his cultural. So now they're like, no, let's just do English.

Yeah, imagine that guy decides not to be respectful, and then they land the plane safely, and then he gets fired or put in prison. Well, it's a tough decision. Did he get fired or –

Die. Plane crash. I say get fired. Or you get, you know, just. I say let the plane crash. Go listen. Headache. Probably getting yelled at by your mom. And you're like, I'll just let this plane crash. Yeah. What do you want to lay in and be like, why don't you tell him what to do? I don't know. It never ends. I know. And that guy crashes. Well, I guess I'm the senior now. Yeah. Yeah. The shortest grammatically correct sentence is go. That's a full sentence. What about no?

I think go is a action game.

I think that works as the verb. The verb, yeah. The word go, the word's moving. No stopping you. I don't really know. I remember I had a teacher growing up. I don't remember which one, but I do remember the little placard or whatever on her desk that said, no is a complete sentence. She had that. That's like teacher humor. And it also means that no is a complete sentence, meaning you have to finish saying that.

What do you mean? Like no is a complete sentence. Is that the complete sentence? Just no is in quotation marks. Okay. So she's saying just no, that's a complete sentence.

I'd ask her, I'd be going, why'd you have to put all that other stuff on there? And then you could say, well, how do you know? And then that's a different no. Or you could just say, well, if it is, just have it say no, and you should be telling me it's a complete sentence. You should hold up no and say this is a complete sentence. I don't think she's still teaching. There are over 200 fake languages created by books, TVs, movies. The most popular one is Klingon.

where there's people who speak fluent Klingon. They have their own alphabet, about 3,000 words, and there's a Klingon institute where people go and study and learn. One guy raised his son to speak Klingon as a first language, while the boy's mother communicated with him in English.

And he rarely responded to his father in Klingon. And after his fifth birthday, the guy just gave up because the boy just wanted to speak English. Can you imagine being that wife? That sounds about right. Yeah. Like that would end up, that sounds like it ends up going like, all right, that's enough. We tried it. I mean, that's ridiculous. Let's listen to Klingon here. I'm doing a lot of stuff with the Klingon. I'm not.

Oh, he's rapping.

Wow, this guy's cool. People went, I mean, oh, was that Star Trek and Star Wars? I mean, they were some big things, man. That's some really big worlds that people really got into. I'd love to go bar hopping with that guy, pick out some chicks. Your brother Worf speaks Klingon. Worf, yeah. It's...

Just because you think you'd get all the girls? Yeah, yeah. We'd have a good time out there, I guess. No, no, no. He got us over here, but I couldn't. He can't. You know, The Sims, I used to play The Sims a little bit. They kind of had their own little language. What's The Sims? The video game The Sims. You know, you play it on the computer. I played it so much that I actually had memorized some of the things they said. Do you know any of them?

I don't know if I know any of it. Like they would go, and I got a still and a how and a hootenburrwitty. I remember them doing that. And I have no idea what that, but I remember them saying that all the time. Could you repeat that? And I got a still and a how and a hootenburrwitty. Okay. I got a still and a how and a hootenburrwitty. Something like that. I just knew the sound. I never. Dusty, dusty, fiery, globey, gory. Here's some...

So it's designed to just sound like English gibberish. Yeah, I think so, yeah. That's fun. When I played it, this was kind of the original version, right? So there was only a few phrases. So if you're playing, you just hear the same ones over and over and over again. Yeah. I loved it. I could do quite a few back in the day. What kind of house did you live in in The Sims?

Well, you start off with a small one and then you get the cheat code and then you build the biggest house possible. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, there's a cheat code? Oh, yeah. You could also, I would build, you could build it like little walls around them and then they can never get out and then they die and then you have a little, it's like, you get bored with it fast and you start killing off the Sims. The Sims 1 voices, Dusty. Oh, yeah. That take you back?

Yeah, can't hear it, but that's how it gets. There you go. Just playing along. Makes me back to how bad my speakers were. I always remember the motto here. People are listening to this. Not even watching, just listening. There was a study done in the 60s that said 93% of communication is nonverbal. It's like saying most of the world is the ocean.

Well, when Kramer gave up speaking, I think he said... In what way? It's like, who cares? All things, one thing. Yeah. Remember when Kramer gave up speaking, he said that most communication is nonverbal and he did some act outs. But it's either body language or tone is the majority of how we comprehend stuff. It's not the words themselves. Yeah, I think you would... If you went to another country and got stuck, you could act out what you need. You know, just be...

Water. Shelter. Yeah, food. Yeah. Yeah, just point. Yeah, shelter. Have it rain, fall on your head. Oh, that's a house. I need church. Triangle. I need to define God. That's what I want. It doesn't matter. Well, even if you got me into a church, it's a shelter. You're just looking for a roof, basically. And then if God's there, it's a bonus. Sure. But you're just trying to, you have a roof.

And he brings you back a roof. Just the roof. And he goes, you didn't do the... Takes you to a roofing store. I thought it was understood. Yeah. You're looking for shingles, right? Okay. So then you have to do the square. And if you don't mind, I don't care if this is triangle. You would just... I think you would still say the words too. Do you think you would not say the words? It's tough to not say. It's tough to not. Yeah. Yeah.

What about language stuff? Like you ever see like where, you know, they talk about like, you know, you have the banks control the money and the money is like liquid and it like flows. And then you have like the river banks are on the side of a river. And there's that whole thing. Like if you have money in a house and you need to liquidate some assets, you know, it's like you, you're selling it to get money. So money flows, there's a money flow, cash flow.

And then the banks control that. Yeah. I think you would be like running around the different group like that. Y'all would need to know that. Like, like you're, you know, that's like some, but there's just like literally I want some water to drink. And then you're, this is like how you talk just so they can't hear you. You know what I mean? Yes. Like this is, well, it's yeah. You go, you do a circle with your hand going, they're listening. Yeah.

Because they have the money. Yes. That's liquid and it flows. But there is, yes. I mean, yeah. I mean, you wouldn't go to another country and try to be like, I'm looking for money by making a river motion. I mean, maybe. Yeah. Why did you bring all that up? Well, it's language. Okay. And the duality of words. Ooh. You know. Ooh, duality. Yeah. Duality of man. So there's a language off the coast of Spain that's just consistent entirely of whistles. Yeah.

Okay. Can you imagine me showing up there with my nose? Yeah. Fights is breaking out. What'd you say about my wife? Whoa. Yeah. We're like, we ask you to be quiet. Hey, Mr. Chirpy, why don't you slow it down? He's like. This guy's aggressive. Can you guys whistle? I can't whistle really. Not with my mouth. I've never been able to. I kind of gave up. That's an angry. Angry whistle. Is that how you whistle? That's as much as you can whistle though?

Yeah. I was trying to learn how to do it. I can't do it. I want to learn that. Kevin Stallings. Yeah, yeah. He did that loud. I remember growing up,

My buddy Ryan Malone, me and Ryan, we went to Walmart with his dad. Right when we went in, his dad was like, I'd get stuff. Y'all can go. And we'd go walk around on our own. That was our mall. It was just a Walmart. And you'd go to Toys or whatever. And then he could whistle like that. So we would just- The whole store would hear it? Oh, yeah. And so when it was time to leave, he would just whistle. And then we ran like dogs to the truck. My mom could do that with us. We were doing it in his time. Yeah. With the-

So you would just do it, and then once you heard a big, loud whistle, you would just go run. And no one ever really seemed like they were upset about it. And that is how they call dogs back to the truck, too. Yeah. Like if you're hunting, let the tailgate down, the dogs run up, get in the dog box. And we knew it was time to go. Yeah. And you'd ride around in the bed. Yeah. In the dog box. You rode around in bed a lot. Yeah. That's something I think that's gone, right? I remember I did a few. Enough that I remember it, but I did some...

Jump in the bed, truck rides growing up. We used to ride in the back and my dad would chew tobacco and spit out the wheel and get in someone's hair. You got to sit in the middle. Yeah. That cab right there. Yeah, yeah. But you got the wheel wells was a seat. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's funny. Somebody's getting spit on. Yeah, but if you just sit and put your arm up on it, it's nice. Yeah, I think people- That's going away.

You got to be probably a little bit farther out. I bet it's not a way. You know, I think about that. Like, when yesterday I was driving back into Nashville, and you're seeing Nashville, and you look, and there's just trees very close to Nashville. It feels like a little mountain-y. It's all right here. So you're just there. It seems like I think people are still riding in trucks. Yeah. There's still a little. Maybe I'm just in a different place.

Yeah, I don't... Look, it's not as much as it was. It can't be because people are... It's just... It's changing. But I like to think that there's still a good bit of, you know, like letting kids be kids. And, you know, they get hurt, they get hurt. I think you're right. I think maybe state law now doesn't even allow you to do that. So you got to get out. Yeah, if you go out in the country, there's people riding around in the back of the truck. For sure. That's good. That's good to know. Yeah. There's...

So George Carlin talked about the seven words you can't say on television. And it started with Lenny Bruce. Lenny Bruce got arrested for saying some of these words. And then George Carlin got arrested as well for public indecency or something like that. And then it went all the way to the Supreme Court. A radio station played his act doing those seven words. A guy was listening with his 15-year-old son. He was with some group that could file a lawsuit and went all the way to the Supreme Court.

Because the FCC fined the radio station for playing it, and the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the FCC. But George Carlin, I never really paid attention to what that was all about. He was just pointing out how the words are so silly just as they sound. And it is weird how we give meaning to words that we could all just agree these words aren't offensive. Right. We give them their power. Yeah, they're only offensive...

In so far as we've agreed that they're offensive, right? Yeah, there's no real power to it. It is kind of amazing how words become a thing in themselves and they come alive. But you've got to have it be the opposite with love. So, like, you have to give words heart and meaning. Yeah. So if you're going to have that, then you've probably got to have bad. If you have good words, you have bad words. Like,

You can't give one and be like, well, you know, it's like, well, just don't give these. These words are just dumb words. You're like, yeah, but when you tell me you love me, I'm supposed to feel something. So you can't tell me I can feel that. And then you say a bad word. You're like, well, that's who cares what that word is. You're like, then who cares what love means? How do you show me love?

Wow. It's like you're just trying to- That's deep. It's very profound. Yeah, yeah. Thanks. I'm profound. I don't know if that's true, but- The shadow proves the sunshine. You know what I mean? Yeah. But just with the name for a donkey, right? And then you take that, and that was just the name for the donkey. Yeah. And now that is a word that, people say it all the time, but it's a cuss word, right? Yeah.

Donkey is? Oh, yeah. The other names for Donkey. Yeah, I don't like saying it. I'm pretty, like, I won't say... What's funny is, so where he did the seven...

was at where I taped my special. Really? Yeah. Celebrity theater. Nate opened with all seven. Yeah. Well, we... What's up, you? Nick joked about it saying like... He said Carlin did the seven... What is it? The seven... Seven words you can't say on television or seven dirty words? Seven dirty words or... Seven words you can never say on television. Dirty words, yeah. Seven dirty words. So that was at... Seven dirty words was at...

Celebrity theater. Celebrity theater. And it's where I take my special. So it was funny to Nick said when Nick opened and he just told the guys like, this is where Carlin did his seven dirty words. And then Nate's doing the opposite. I'm only saying words you can say on TV. That's funny. And yeah, it's funny that it's like now it's just that's, you know.

But I mean, yeah, I don't, I don't know. I'm, I'm real, but I mean, you know, I, I just, every word. And then every time I hear anything, it's, I just think like, I don't, I don't think I like that people are, it's just like the way some curse words are now, like not even looked at as a curse word. Like they've just kind of blended into just like, oh yeah. Like a kid could say it. That's just a word you described. Like, I don't think I, I,

I like the rules of the word. The words are very important to us as comedians, so I like the rules. When I see people just slowly using just some words, like the word for a donkey, I don't want to say it. But it's like that idea is that people will say that like you fell, and I would say but, and other people wouldn't.

And it'd be okay. Like a kid might not even say, but they might, but no one would think anything about it. But it's similar to me. I'd like, I just like the strictness of it to go like, well, I'm not going to do that because then I think it makes me, I think it makes you sound different. But in that sense, that was just the name for it. There was no reason for it to be bad. Yeah. And then it became bad. Yeah. Is that example? Yes. Yes. That word came first. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. That's in the Bible. Yeah. Oh, but like, um,

There are some Supreme Court other cases that they've had a rule on, and they said the words that we consider bad are usually only bad if it's...

It's meaning is about sex or excrement. And one Supreme Court judge made his ruling. He said, when I'm on the golf course and I shake my ball into the woods and I yell out a particular word, he's like, I'm not thinking about sex. I'm mad because of my golf ball. So it's silly to find someone. He's like, the meaning does have some meaning.

Yeah, context is important. Context, yeah, exactly. Yeah, I mean, no one should get in trouble ever for the words. I'm not. But I'm just like, I don't use them because of that. And not saying like, am I like, you know, I'm not, and I'm not perfect. I'm not trying to say that. But it's like, just the way I do my act, I don't do, and I don't do it. Because I do, I like the strictness. Because the looser it gets, it's like, I think you just sound different. When he did seven...

dirty words, that was insane that he did that. And that was like, you know, probably needed at that time. I get the idea. Like the idea of him doing that then is like, it was a very big deal. It's groundbreaking. Yeah. And so, but it's like as slowly as, you know,

I would like to think that I don't think he would be as dirty as most comics are dirty now, right? Like you would – Oh, yeah. No, yeah. And I had a teacher that once said that if people cuss a lot, it shows that they have a limited vocabulary, right? And then there's these Facebook things going around for a while that are like, people that cuss a lot, studies show that they're actually much smarter. And I went on that and I read that article and then I kept trying to find the study and

And you never could actually find the study. It was just something people were sharing to be like, see, I am smart because I'm cussing all the time. Yeah, it's...

You know, like when I remember when I moved to New York, I mean, they, kids curse, they cuss like all day long. And it's just, and I, it's not, it's where everybody's at. Everybody does whatever they want to go do or how you talk. Some people curse, cussing. Like there's a lot of Southern people that I know that cuss and they cuss in front of their parents and they're just like, they just, their parents cussed and they cuss. And like, it's, it is what it is. It's no ill will. It's just how they talk. It's just how they talk.

And I take it the same way. Right. And so it's just how we talk. But I like that there's cuss words and not cuss words. Because there's a decision you have to make. Otherwise, there's no decision. And what you say, it helps you decide. How are you going to say it?

Yeah, most of us, we work with, we want clean openers, and I usually am that clean opener, but if I have an opener, I want to be clean. It's usually either they think they're clean because they're not cussing, but all they talk about is sex, or sometimes it's the other way around. They don't have any dirty topics per se, but then every other sentence is a four-letter word. Right. The stuff people say sometimes is...

blows my mind i i had a guy recently and i was like just as i just keep it relatively clean and the stuff he said i thought what would you say if you were allowed to say whatever yeah you brought up your mom specifically it's just like yeah it's it and it's look and if you're a comics listen this i'm not telling you be clean be you do you i would just say that

How would you talk in front of your parents or your family or your friends? Just be you. So if you would be dirty, Big Jay's dirty, but that's how Jay would talk. And so it works. As a comic, just be what you are normally, how you would speak, and don't try to be overly one or the other. Just be you is what I would say, whatever that is.

I mean, that's good advice too, because I would, I'd never cuss in front of my parents. I mean, with my friends, especially for a while, I got pretty wild with stuff I would say, but I would never cuss in front of my parents. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I wouldn't either. It would feel disrespectful. I got in an argument with my wife about this watching some TV show, and it's like a family having morning breakfast, and the kids are just cussing the parents out. And I go, who talks to their parents like this? She's like, some people do.

I'd go, I can't watch this. Yeah. This is out of control. Yeah, I mean, language is like, they curse on regular TV now. Yeah, it's just a weird, and it could be maybe I'm older and I'm used to not hearing it. But there is part of me that you want to go like, I mean, I like the, you go back and watch TV in the 90s, you're like, I like that they didn't do that. And it didn't feel like it was...

It can make stuff heavy. It does. And it makes me think, when you see it written, it feels like it's written to be like, you're writing it not even like, you're just trying to throw curse words in there.

Yeah. I mean, I had friends in the trailer park that I grew up with. I mean, they would cuss their parents out. Their parents would be cussing. Their parents would be drunk. I mean, and it's like, but that's just not how it was in my trailer. We weren't rolling like that. And if you made a movie about that,

Maybe you would have a family that does that. Yeah. Because it's like they would. But if they're cussing so much, you go, I don't even... Some people, you're like, I don't know if you're saying anything. You're not hearing... I'm not hearing much. You're cussing so much that it's... I don't even know what the conversation we're having. And you're just using it as trying to get... And they're doing that with online. You see a lot of stuff online about...

It just is like so much that you're just trying to like, yo, dude, you're talking about like a normal topical topic. And then you're also cussing in it. And then it's like I just some of you like and it is maybe I'm 43 and I'm just now you're like, I just trying to hear some news or I want to hear like who won the game. You know, I don't you know, it's like, why does everything have to be?

You know, like you're supposed to, if you're essentially paying for that, if I'm paying for this entertainment, at least have some pullback. Like be a, like I always think, like be a professional. I'm not looking at, I don't want to watch something that's like, oh, so this is like if you're sitting on the couch with your buddy and y'all are like not even having a conversation, you're just cussing the whole time and whatever it is. It's like, you just reel it back, like realize,

People are watching this. Right. And so even if you're going to do that, just like let's calm it down a little bit just so you sound, just so I can know what you're talking about.

Even if you're being dirty, it's like, just don't overly. It's almost like because you don't have a restriction on dirtiness, I mean, more people can just get on anything now. And so then it's like the barriers have been opened. And I wonder, I'm just thinking this in real time, but I wonder if the restrictions have gotten less, does it hurt?

the entertainment value because you had to at least have some restrictions. Like Howard Stern was very good at what he did because he was up against – he actually had restrictions. Yeah. And then you could argue when he went to Sirius, it just wasn't the same. And he even said it on Sirius though. He goes, just because we can curse here, we're not going to, like all the time. But his peak is when he's got –

something to fight against. He's pushing the boundaries. That's the peak, pushing the boundaries. That's the most entertaining. Yeah. That's when George Carlin, all this stuff. So then if the floodgates open and now you can do whatever, now it's like, I don't know. I mean, you're all saying stuff that Howard Stern would never dream of saying and he's the main guy that said everything.

Well, there's, I didn't really realize there's three different levels kind of for television. There's the basic broadcast television, which is if you have a rabbit ears, you can get. ABC, NBC. Yeah. Those main ones. And the FCC considers television a.

Public service that's necessary for our well-being. So they monitor those. So that's why those are the strictest as far as what you can say. Then there's cable, which you can say more on because those are, you got to pay for that. So if you don't like it, you don't have to pay for it. But they have to answer their advertisers. So people complain to their advertisers and they drop them, then...

They may not. So they still stay somewhat in check. And then there's subscription-based, which is all the streaming services. All bets are off. And HBO and all that. And that, you can just say whatever you want to do. Yeah, yeah. And I understand that. But that's it. Like cable, though, is like you should have some because you're like everybody probably has cable. I agree. And then so like in the streaming. You don't though, do you?

Well, but you're going to have the main channels or you have... I mean, not YouTube TV now. I got it. But yeah, but doesn't it also change depending on the time of day? Yep. When they think children... You can say more late at night than you can when they think children would be awake. I would... Like, I'm not against... You know, it's like everybody talks about the censoring and all that. Like, I'm not... None of that. I'm not against that. I'm just saying, I think for the best art, it's good to have...

some like you got to kind of try to figure away i mean the contest in seinfeld like it would never be what it is if it wasn't such a tap dance like yeah just having to do that like that's why that's like some people say yeah like some rules like i used to take improv classes and people would go i thought you're just making it up why are you taking classes and it's like well there's you know there's rules to how to create a great

To make it watchable. Yeah. So if you're not following those rules, then it's out of control. And that's kind of what, like, if there's no boundaries, then it goes so far that you're like, forgot to even try to, like, because if you're, if you slip in a, like a cuss word in a setting where you're not supposed to, very funny. Mm-hmm.

But if you're just allowed to say them and you've said nine million, then it's not funny anymore. Not funny anymore. You know? Because it's like you forgot to write the joke because you're just relying on the word. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? Does that make sense? Yeah, use the word. Like, use the words...

Use the word correctly. A well-timed cuss word can be the funniest. If it's in, I mean, to me, if it's in the right spot, it could be like, boom, it really hits. But if you're just using it casually, then it's lost its power. There's no surprise. Yeah. It's like a fart in a church.

Right. Right. If you're farting church, it's hilarious. But if you go in church and everybody's farting, you're like, this is disgusting. Or if you did it every five minutes, after a while, they'd be like, that's enough. That's the church of the Dairy Queen.

Well, the show that had the most average bad cuss words, Sopranos, which we love Sopranos. And it would be dumb if that show didn't have bad words. And when I watch it on regular cable, like A&E or whatever, and they change, forget you. No, forget you. It's not the same. Yeah, if Tony Soprano's saying poop, that's not a lot of fun. It's not believable. Yeah. This guy's an Italian mobster, you know? Yeah. Yeah.

When we talk about, I didn't mention for openers, talking about being clean or not clean. And again, if you're a comic, just be you. It doesn't matter. If you can't be clean, that's okay. You don't have to be clean. And just go do, you figure your thing out. Maybe I'd be able to like, I think you should be able to do, you probably need to do something. Because I'm never going to really be asked to be dirty. That just, that situation happens.

doesn't really... I mean, I kind of was at the New York because I was doing shows at midnight that were called Uncensored. The whole theme of it was this dirty, edgy show and I would just do my act. But as a comic, just do you. Just do how you normally... You want to be, I think, as a comic, you want them to feel like they're hanging out with you. And so then when you get off stage, you're like, yeah, that guy's like that. And when you do that, you're able to be...

funny with a lot more because you're not creating a uh this is just like if you're a joke writer it's like you're writing jokes but if you're you know telling stories or if you're you are the personality in all your jokes then you need to uh be able to uh i think i forgot what i was gonna say uh what was i talking about i don't even know now

I got trailed off. Yeah, about being an opener, being clean, being dirty, being yourself. Yeah, just be yourself. If you are yourself, and however that is, if it's being clean or not clean, if you stay true to it, be as close to you as you can. Maybe you're a heightened version because you're going to be kind of exaggerating stuff. But if you can be close to who you are, then you can, I mean, everything can kind of become funny because you become funny.

So then you're able, but then you got to,

You can talk about anything, but then you tighten it up and then you get the combination of both of those. It's a pretty good thing. Yeah, I mean, you need both. I mean, if everyone were just clean, it would not be as much fun. I think you need both. No, yeah, yeah, yeah. You need extreme, but- I can tell you, I don't think it feels like there's a lot of clean. There's not that much- No, there's not a lot of that. I mean, yeah, competitive standpoint, if you're on the fence of being clean or dirty and you think you could be clean, I would be clean.

And that's because, I mean, you just, there's not that many comics that are, it doesn't feel like it. Yeah. People lose gigs all the time for, they can't be clean or they don't want to be clean and they just lose gigs. And I'm like, why? I thought you were trying to do comedy. And then, and being clean is like, it's not like, right. You know, cause people talk about church clean and, uh,

all that kind of stuff. And you're like, it's not even, you can be that. There's great comics that are that, uh, but you can talk about anything. Like that's what we're doing with the podcast with Greg Warren and Mike Vecchione. And as we do more stuff, like I think about like, all right, what kind of content do I want to like eventually be being able to put out? And I want to put out stuff that, uh, I mean, it's basically no cursing, no sex talk or it's, that's kind of it. I don't want, I want it to be fun. Uh,

You know, just be funny. I mean, maybe if you're doing like, if you're talking about something with your wife and you do it in like a Seinfeld type of way, it's like, I could maybe, you know, it's like, I think that could be okay. But it's, I mean, what, but I, you know, you can talk about anything. I'm just like, that's the part that I think people have trouble with. They think, oh, I can't talk about anything when you're clean. No, you can. You can say anything. Just don't curse. Cursing highlights everything.

kind of what you're saying and so when you don't curse you still if you break down the jokes it's like if you really talk about the joke or whatever it's like you know it could end up being i talk about murder a lot about you know or whatever it is you can talk about anything just some of the curse words i think just highlight and people just they just hear that and so then you're like well just don't do that you know if your curse words feel like there is no reason for them to be there

And then if you feel like you need it, then that's when you would need it. Yeah. You know? And these guys, like when you go and they're touring, so if y'all come see these, uh, these comics, like Aaron Bates, Dusty, uh,

If they're openers, a comedy club, just so y'all know, the openers, sometimes you get to choose. You're probably going to really choose your openers now. Yeah, I bring a lot of people, but yeah, once in a while. Sometimes you don't. Yeah, the host or something will be just booked by the club. Yeah. Yeah. So it's not like... If you're going there for... And just go...

You decide what you would want to listen to. You like some, you don't like some. That's the other thing. When I create an alien, when you're creating this content, it's going to be like, you don't like some, you don't like some. It doesn't matter. It's going to be just do whatever you like and then you don't watch what you don't like. But when you go see them, sometimes it's hard. When you first start headlining clubs, it's hard. You don't really can't bring...

an opener with you everywhere. Uh, sometimes you can't, sometimes you can't. Sometimes the town, you know, Salt Lake City has a ton of clean openers. Uh, there's, there's places that have clean openers and they're, they could be there, but if they're not there, it's like, you know, just, I,

I don't even know. Still go to the show. And unless that truly bothers you, then I could see you just wait it out, and you guys will be in tears. Yeah, you're going to have a great time. You're going to have a great time. It's going to be a blast. Yeah. I'm doing the comedy catch in Chattanooga at the end of this month, October 28th to 29th. And they put on their calendar, they put a rating by every comic. Oh, wow. They didn't ask me my rating, but they gave me a PG. Yeah.

Everyone else on there is R, and then I'm PG. So people have reached out to me already saying, hey, will your openers be clean? And I'm like, I don't know, but they – it might be on just the mobile site. It says clean comedy. It says clean comedy now. Where?

Right here. All right. Okay. All right. Well, you used to say PG, but now I guess everyone, but did you say everyone else's said R beside it? Yeah, everyone else says rated R, rated R. One time I was on the calendar at the same time as Aaron. Mine said clean comedy. Aaron said adult. Well, that's accurate. So I don't know who my openers will be, but if they're calling it a clean comedy show, I assume they're going to be clean openers. Yeah. Yeah. They will do that. They will do that. Because you can't label it clean comedy. Yeah.

Yeah. It's going to be you open up for yourself. Yeah. Which I've done plenty of times. I've done Voice of God. I've done one of your shows before where you introduce yourself and then walk out. It's fun. Yeah. That's about it. I was going to get a little bit into sign language. It's a different type. Apparently, Aristotle, one of your heroes, thought that if you were deaf that you had no chance of learning and just –

push people aside. So, but later they learned that people are deaf can learn sign language became a thing. And then it kind of took a hit because they introduced something called, maybe it was already around oralism, which is basically like, no, you need to learn to try to talk. Even if you can't hear, just read people's lips, try to mimic what they do. And it kind of set sign language back. Thomas, uh, sounds like somebody, something, somebody says who can hear, uh,

Yeah, exactly. It's very like, I don't want to learn it. Yeah. I don't want to do it. Like, I don't want to do the hand stuff. You learn to talk. He never thought about it. And then it was like, your secretary's girl, uh, she's deaf. And he's like, just learn. It all changes. I am not going to learn this. Yeah. I did a, I did a show where they had a sign language interpreter there. And then every time I would wave, they, they would wave. They were really wore out. I bet.

Alexander Graham Bell, he really led the charge for oralism because he said that it's just a better way. And they made people stop intermarrying deaf people because they're like, no, one of you needs to be able to speak so the other one can practice speaking. It really set them back, but I think they're doing better now. That's crazy. The first deaf baseball... They were like, we don't want deaf people getting together and making more deaf people. Yeah. The first deaf baseball player, they called him Dummy Hoy. Jesus Christ.

Because back then, if you were deaf, they called you dumb. So his name was Dummy Hoy. And the rumor is that the reason that the umpire...

Not just says ball, strike one, ball one or whatever. It's because when he batted, he couldn't tell. So they started doing hand signals. Which I never even thought about. They do strike and they do ball or they do safe. Some people think it's debated because this is like the Lady 800. He's invented that. Thanks. Yeah. I would think it's because people can't.

Yeah. In the stands? Yeah, because in the stands you wouldn't be able to hear. That makes a lot more sense. But, you know, I'm sure dummy wasn't against it. Dummy's a fun word. It is. You big dummy.

I thought that came from not being able to speak. Like, if you couldn't speak, it was dumb. Like, and dumb didn't mean stupid. Like, dumb meant you can't speak. Well, that's true. But if you're born deaf, usually you have trouble speaking because you can't hear. But like, dumb wasn't necessarily a bad word. It was just describing not being able to talk. And we took it to now mean stupid.

Well, just explain that to them. Words of old. Well, now if you call somebody dumb, yeah, obviously. But now it's like mute. But it's like, who knows? Down the line, maybe mute's now a bad word. That's right. That's right. It may be. Yeah, mute doesn't sound great. Right.

It doesn't sound favorable. I mean, with Nick. Nick is a little person. And people always like, dude, that was a big one. No one ever would... People think... They say midget and they think that's what it is. And then it's like, if you're just... Especially if you listen to this podcast, you see Nick. And I've been with Nick. And if you see everything that he has to go through and all that stuff, you're like, I mean, just...

Just say little person. Some of it's like, well, that's what I call it. And that would be something I could have my family. Everybody just said that. It's like the Oriental. People just said stuff. And then after a while, you're like, yeah, just do it. Just change it. It just got changed. But sometimes I get it. It's over. You can't change it. There's a balance.

I'm always sensitive to the little person just because I've been around. Absolutely. And I was going on the love languages, the five love languages. You guys ever done that test? No, never. Nah. All right. Well, I did it when we were going through premarital counseling. So a guy, Gary Chapman, wrote a book in the 90s, very popular, The Five Love Languages. And basically, he breaks it down. And it's to help you understand your partner, your spouse, whatever their love language is, most likely is how they're –

giving it to you so you just it just helps if you know what means a lot to them it helps you in your relationship they are words of affirmation quality time physical touch acts of service receiving gifts i think my wife has all of those love languages are you supposed to have some or all polyglot yeah yeah yeah she's a bs if you do the test it'll help you determine which one you're most oh

I mean, you can have more than one, but you look at the top two at least. And that just helps you understand your spouse, where they're coming from. The example would be given if...

If you mowed the grass, that's an act of service. That may mean a lot to you, but to your wife, that may mean nothing to her. She does not care when I cut the grass, that's for sure. Yeah. And get her to cut the grass a couple times. Yeah. And then she'll appreciate it. Then she'll appreciate it. Well, that is what we did, actually, because I like cutting the grass. So when I was cutting the grass, I felt like she was, it was like I was going to the bar or something. I'm not hanging with my buddies. You liked it too much. Yeah, I was like, I enjoy cutting the grass. So she's like, thought it must be fun.

And then we got her to cut it a couple of times. And she's like, all right. It's not as fun. So now she appreciates it when you do it more. When you say we got her to cut it, who else helped you? Well, my sister was there. She was in her trance. Yeah, yeah. We're going to get the old lady on lawnmower. Y'all come over and help push her up there. All right. That's it. That's it. This comes out this week. I'm in Colorado.
