Hello, folks, and hey, bear. Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slay, and... All right. Another Dusty Slay. All right. That's what I'm talking about. All right. We're having a good time. All right. Having a good time. We could use more of this. Ash...

The sheriff hat. Where'd you get that hat? This is, it's not easy being dusty. I've learned that. Yeah. The hat is, I can't even talk with this thing. Hang on.

The hat is my second cousin, Terry Ash. He was the sheriff in Wilson County for about 20 years. Wow. That's a good hat. From the mid-80s to the mid-2000s. So the hat was the easiest part. Yeah. This beard riding up on my mouth here is the hard part. Yeah, beard. The hair, I had a brown wig, but it was like a clam rock, too long. Yeah. I wish I'd have kept it. So my wife convinced me to take it back. You can't.

You kind of got the opposite color thing going. I got the darker beard and the lighter hair. Which is, I think, good. Yeah. I think it's a nice... Yeah, a little mismatch here. Yeah. Kind of works well. So I took it back. My wife convinced me to take it back and get a shorter... How much money did that save you taking it back? ...wig.

It saved me $250. Okay. This looks good on you. I mean, I'm into this look. The glasses were the hard part. I texted Dusty. I said, hey, where do you get your glasses? He said at a thrift store. I got my others at a thrift store. Yeah. I went to Goodwill. Didn't have glasses. Got this shirt at Goodwill. Yeah. And then I went to another thrift store. Could not find the glasses. Had to order these online.

It's the best I could do. How much total all in? About $100. Oh, really? Wow. That's about right. That's about right. $100 for the whole. Yeah. The glasses were like 30-something just for the shipping. The shirt was five. You save the money by just getting a haircut once or twice a year. Yeah. A lot of savings comes in there. Aaron, what's the problem here? We're having a good time.

Have you ever had a facial hair like that? And has your hair ever been that long? My hair's definitely never been this long. And no, I tried facial hair during the pandemic and we saw how that went. I

I missed it, I think. I wish I could have seen it. Well, there's some videos out there. There's a video. It's not good. So this year, my daughter, we're going trick-or-treating, you know, and so I'm like, I got to be somebody. And I looked at who's the popular Halloween costumes this year, and they're all terrible.

So I'm like, I want to be Dusty. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. That's a good look. Yeah. Yeah. So everybody listen, Brian Bates is a Dusty slave right now. We'll show a picture. Yeah. Yeah. Dusty, what do you think? I think it looks great. I mean, I'm in full support of it. All right. Yeah.

Yeah. Making that fudge. Yeah. That was your original catchphrase, wasn't it? Yeah, making that fudge, yeah. Yeah. You went through catchphrases? Yeah, you know, I've had, you know, there's always a saying out there that I'm looking to have catch on. Yeah. You're a shucky ducky. Yeah, I never did that one, but yeah, yeah, that's sort of fine. Thought about it? Yeah.

What was it? Taking the fudge? Making that fudge. Making that fudge. Yeah, I ran into a lady in Charleston. She said to the bank teller, she goes, lately, I've been making that fudge. Now, it turns out she was working at a fudge company. Oh. She was making that fudge. But I interpret it as slang for making money. Yeah, yeah. Because we were in a bank. Yeah. Yeah.

Like making that bread, making that cheese. Yeah. You know. She said making that. Making that fudge. And she truly meant making that. Yeah. Yeah. She's been working at a fudge shop. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

How'd you find that out? Well, I just kept listening. Yeah. You know. Did the bank tell her thing too? I don't know. It's unclear. I was just standing behind her, you know. I was about to go wait tables. I was just trying to get a little bank for the day. Yeah. And I just heard her say that. And it was so, just the way she said it. Yeah, yeah. Lately. Would you have to get your own bank? Well, yeah. Yeah.

So like if you wait tables, you have to get change. Yeah, take like, you know, two 20s and break it down to fives and tens. Yeah. Ones. Yeah. Make some change. Okay. That's good. All right. You can be able to do that. I don't think so. Yeah. You can take it off. All right. I think we've served his purpose, right? Yeah. Keep the hair and hat though. That's great. Yeah. Keep the hair and the hat. All right. From now on. Forever? Yeah. What if I just do this?

I love that. You look like Garth now. You do look like Garth from Wayne World. Yeah. You could wear that and everybody would think you're Garth from Wayne World. All right, I just changed my Halloween costume. I mean...

It's pretty wild. Yeah. It's almost a perfect Garth from Wayne world. But it's Wayne that has the black hair, right? I don't know. I've never watched a movie. People say I look like Wayne's world a lot. I get Wayne's world too. It's Garth's glasses, but kind of Wayne's hair. Right. And I mean, let's not beat around it. It's a lot of the same face too. So you got blonde hair. Yeah, dude. I mean, that's crazy. If you got blonde hair, you would be...

I mean, a perfect Garth. Perfect Garth. All right. Perfect Garth. Well, I may have to change. I want it to be dusty for Halloween, but I may have to... The people spoke. I think we'll have to explain a lot less. I think they're going to say Garth, and then they're going to have to remember, wait, did he have... What hair was it? Did he have black hair? It would be a mix. You could say it's a combination of both. Yeah. I'm a tribute to both. I'm both of them right now. Yeah. Yeah, you're both Garth. Because you actually kind of do look like both of them now that I look at it with that hair. Yeah. With that hair, and then if you had a Wayne's World hat...

If they had a kid. If they had a kid. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That would be pretty good. All right. Yeah. You're older than both dads, but that's, you know. They had a father. I'm at least the same age. Yeah. That's great. Yeah, you have a third member that never got mentioned. Yeah. Yeah. You're like the fifth Beatle. Yeah. Season three. Or what did they do? Two of those or something? They did two, yeah. I don't think I ever saw any of them.

First one was great. First one's great. I mean, yeah. I mean, they're all right. Yeah. All right. I feel like you were like, we were like saying it's good. Then you're almost like you showed you liked it too much. You're like, well, I'm not that much. No, I think the opposite. I think you didn't like it. You just don't want to get it. I mean, I like it, but I do think it's overrated. Okay. Like it's like really hyped up and I'm like, it's pretty fun. But you might not have been the right age when it came out. Maybe so. I think I was the perfect age.

Because I was their age. Yeah. A couple guys like me. Yeah. Hanging out in my mom's basement. I'm more an Austin Powers. When it comes to Mike Myers, I'm more an Austin Powers fan. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. He really lost me with Love Go Road, though. I fell off. Yeah, I never saw that. I heard it was terrible. That's one of the worst. Okay. That's what this podcast is about today. Michael Myers, kind of, but not that one. Yeah, in a way.

Welcome, everybody, to the show. First, we've been gone a good bit. We're back. If you have seen on, I mean, I announced it on everything and talked about it a lot. We'll be playing Bridgestone Arena April 15th. I went to the Predators game. I got to wave the towel. We stayed and watched the, we were sitting right behind the LA Kings bench.

And we ended up staying where they put us. And we stayed there, me, Harp, and Laura. I was home for like 24 hours. And we went and did that. But it was super fun. It was fun to talk to Harp about hockey. I don't know everything, but they get to see them fight. And so I've been just bumping her against walls. Checking her? I've been checking her at home going, this is hockey. There was a fight at the game you were at? Yeah. There was a couple.

And so I was like, yeah, they just let them fight. And then, and then I pulled her shirt over her, you know, go, this is what they do. And then, and then I, uh, so it was the whole, the whole thing was great. We, uh, we ended up leaving it.

When overtime started. But the main reason, we had an L.A. Kings guy sitting behind us. And he just started like, he didn't really say anything the whole game. He wasn't cursing or anything, but he was just, he started like going, let's go L.A. Like, just by himself and going crazy. And it was so loud. And it's like, they came back and I get it. And I don't, you know, it's like, look, if he was yelling that the whole time, maybe we could have, I'd buy the consistency of it.

but they came back. I get it. He's excited. Third game of the season. Uh, crucial game. Yeah. And then we, I didn't say anything to him, but over time it was like, he was getting so loud and he was, he just wouldn't stop like doing that chant. And so people joining in, or was it just like the one other guy behind him? Yeah. That's the LA Kings fan. Uh,

And he's my age. Like, you know, that's the thing I have the most. You're going like, hey, come on now. Yeah. These are, I've learned with sports, the older you get, you're like, it's children out there. They could be my child. So we got to probably, let's knock it back a little bit and just not be. Every sporting event I go to, I'm shocked by people in the crowd. Yeah. I'm like, you got so much invested in this, I guess. Yes. Yes.

Yes, he had a lot. And it was, he, I would never say he was being any, you know, if he was like cursing and yelling, like then you, we would have left way earlier, but it was just, it was right behind us. He was the seat behind us. You know, it's getting loud. Harper's 10. It was at that point, it's super late.

And when we got up and left, he's like, are y'all leaving? And I wish I would have been like, yeah, you feel like you're into this super hard. I want the Predators to win, but I also have a 10-year-old. I got a life outside of this. Yeah, I'm just trying. My name is on the ice tonight. I don't know if you've noticed all the pictures. They advertised it the whole game. Yeah.

But it was – then they ended up losing, which was just – we missed that in the shootout. But we just hit a point. When you've got a kid, you're just – you know, you're –

Yeah, it's like, oh, why didn't you stay? She's 10. It's Tuesday. I was surprised we made it to the third. We were having so much fun that we stayed. And we would have stayed probably the whole time. But once that started happening, it was like, all right. And the guy loves L.A. so much that he's in Nashville. I mean, it's like, did you travel with the team or have you moved here? Yeah, I'm sure he moved. Yeah, yeah.

So, but it was, the whole thing was great. And I mean, they gave me this jersey. It's got my name. They gave us all a jersey. They were so nice. And it's, yeah, it's wild. Like just seeing it. And then you're just looking around. I mean, you're, you know, you're on, advertised on everything. I saw your picture on the Jumbotron. That's super cool. Yeah, it's wild. Yeah. Very wild. Very wild. Doing some of these we've done. We just were in Grand Rapids and I mean, it was like,

five, six thousand people or something in this arena. It's unreal. But you do it too. It's so crazy because you like do shows and then you go to arena and you're like, oh, this is serious. That's what you feel. Here's Grand Rapids, man. It looks insane. Yeah.

And when you're up there, I mean, it's like you just go like, oh, this is not a joke. Like, not that you ever took anything for a joke before, but I think you just gradually move forward that you are not as... I mean, you can't believe you're in theaters, but you're in like a 800-seat theater versus a 300-seat club. You know, it's like little jumps. And then you get to an arena and you're like...

Well, this is for real. Big deal. This is, yeah. You're like, it's got to be, it, it, you know, you get there and you're like, oh, I got to be like that. When we went to that Grand Rapids, it was like, we just stayed in the arena kind of all day. You know, it's like, it was a beautiful day. We got very lucky this weekend when the weather was awesome. And, uh, on every city we went to green, I mean, Green Bay, Rockford, uh, and,

Grand Arbor, we were somewhere before that. Golly, boy. Duluth, Minnesota. Oh, yeah, Duluth, yeah. Duluth's awesome. Unbelievable town. Yeah, Duluth's great. Yeah, it's a little hidden gem there. You get there and you're like, oh, wow. Right on the water. Right on the water, cool, looks nice. Yeah, people should go there. But, yeah, it was – but that one, we just stayed in the arena kind of the whole –

Cause you just, you know, we walked around, we went, we've been working out and we worked out in their gym. And this, I think the street training coach was in there and he was not happy. He was like, what are y'all doing? He just yelled it. And I mean, uh, so you, you got a mix, uh,

Well, we had our video guy, Schubert. Justin was... If you ever see the videos, you hear a voice in the back. It's Justin Schubert. He's been shooting a lot of these clips and stuff for us and been with us. And he was just riding a bike and everything was going good. And when we all walked in, the guy was like...

He was like, don't be messing. Don't leave everything everywhere. He's like, Post Malone. He goes, if I ever see Post Malone again, he's going to punch that guy in the face. So I guess Post Malone went into the weight room and just left it a wreck. Didn't re-rack anything. Didn't re-rack anything. Didn't wipe down his bench. Yeah. And I was like, I don't... And I always think that there's no way it's Post Malone. I don't know.

Or maybe it is. I don't know. I don't know Post Malone. But I always think it's their people. Yeah, if you travel pretty deep, as I imagine he does. I also love that that's that guy's story now. Now if anybody ever brings up Post Malone, he's like, let me tell you about him. Yeah. He had a problem. He looked like he could have. Yeah. I mean, he's a hockey strength. He's the hockey – either the hockey coach or the strength training. He sounded like a coach. Yeah. But our video guy, Justin, he left immediately once that happened. He felt it got weird. Yeah.

And then it was, but then we worked out. And then I told the guy, I was like, hey, if you want to come to the show, man, you're welcome to. And he's like, I think I'm going to go home. Like he's like, you know, I was trying to, as a comic, you kind of want to go like, oh, let's win him over. And he was not thrilled. Yeah. But we worked out. He's like, no, I'll be. I mean, he was just, I get it. We're in his world. Yeah.

That's the thing is like you go, we're in his, you know, I'd imagine if you meet him outside, he's not going to be. We just walked into his planet and just, you know, we're us being like, we're going to work out. He's like, ugh. I mean, there's like real hockey people working out in there. Who was the guy pulling you? Oh, Matt. Matt was Matt. So Matt does, he worked out here at our home.

And like, so we were doing that like during COVID and like all that stuff with Kluge fitness. Oh, okay. And then, uh, Kluge, like during COVID, they would come to, they come to his house. We got our cul-de-sac together. And I guess I talked about it on the last special. And this, our cul-de-sac, we just kind of work out together with Matt. So Matt came out cause Eric couldn't come. Uh, and cause it's, Eric can travel like Matt. It's, it's hard. It's, I mean, it's so much travel. It takes a, you gotta be able to like have, be able to fit that into your life. Uh,

But we're going after it, dude. I'm getting like... You know, it's like I don't ever like... Like getting in shape. I don't ever like showing it a ton. Like I did that joke. It's like I'm not trying to hide it. But I don't like...

You know, I don't want to just show it every like a lot. You're not going to perform shirtless or anything like that. No. Oh, you know, we'll see. But now get jacked. Bird ain't showing nothing. But it's you just yeah. I always feel weird just like showing like workout stuff. But you know, because I don't make someone feel because I didn't work out.

And you're like, I'm just doing it now because I won't be able to go to these. I'm realizing I can't travel if I do this. If I don't do this, if I don't get in some kind of shape, I won't be able to go do all these cities. And I don't want to be miserable and just have no mental capacity to do stuff. But it's been good. We did a bunch of hiking and stuff like that. But anyway, I'm talking about it too much. Workout, don't work out. Do what everyone does.

It's, I support you anyway, no matter what. Thanks man. Aaron's been letting loose. Uh,

Yeah, I like to hit a treadmill. That's about all I like to do. But I went to Phoenix and I worked out of that gym and everybody was jacked. I've not been to a non-planet fitness gym in a long time. And I walk in and there's people really working out. I was like, oh, this is different. What do you do on the treadmill? I walk. I like to get a little incline going. Yeah, that's a great easy, not easy, but it's a great, you want to get your heart rate up, you go to like 12 incline exercises.

And then just walk on like 2.8 or something. Just do that for even worst case, 20 minutes. But yeah,

That's like, you can get you going to good. Like before somewhat before show I've learned that that feels good. You get a little, yeah. You got some energy and, uh, yeah, you get some endorphins going. You get, uh, yeah. It helps you not be in the hotel depressed. Yes. Yeah. And that's what can happen. You just lay there all day eating. It gets spiraled. Like when you go on the road, that's what you hit a point to go. If you want to perceive farther, uh,

you stuff has to like, you have to be ready for this. And it is, it is very interesting to go. You can get through clubs. I mean, everybody, people drink, they eat bad. You're like, you're doing it every weekend. You just getting like habits of that. And then you get into theaters and you're doing like, all right, well now you got to travel each day in between each show. And you're doing a lot more shows. And then that was like, all right, no more drinking. Like that's, that's going to put a stop to that. Uh,

Or I'm not going to get where I want to get is what I thought. And then you get to, we start doing even more and you're like, oh, this food is like a problem. Like I'm tired and my brain is like. Food is so bad. It's so bad out here now. It is crazy. Yeah. It's crazy. What do you mean? It's getting worse? It's getting worse.

I mean, I was on the plane and this lady gave me a little bag of whatever mix it is. Trail mix. Some kind of trail mix. And I flipped it over and looked at the back. I mean, the ingredients list was like a mile long. I was like, this is just some nuts and some pretzels here. What are you putting in this? Yeah.

What are you doing to us? Yeah. You can't do this with two or three ingredients? That's what I think even too. And maybe it is. I want to get in better shape. It's the older, but the older you get to, you want to go like, you start seeing like, what medicine are you trying to make me buy? Right. You're putting me on, I'm eating so much weird stuff.

Do I really need riboflavin? Whatever that is. That's just one I remember. It's like, what is that? What is riboflavin? I don't know anybody cooking at home. Let's put a little riboflavin in here. It's probably made by a robot.

Vitamin B2. Oh, they'll tell you that. But if it were just vitamin B2, I think they would just say that. I mean, Dusty, it's essential to the formation of two major coenzymes. Yeah. I bet it's real benefit. I know I eat that trail mix and I go, that feels good. Yeah. It feels like my enzymes are together now. The other thing I was going to say, so everybody knows if you come to the Bridgestone show, all of the Nate Land crew will be on that show. Oh, yeah.

All right. That week, I think we're going to Johnson City and then Bridgestone. So you will see all of us. Well, I'm pumped about it. That's going to be awesome. Yeah, it's going to be fun. Yeah, thanks for having us on there. Yeah. No, I'm excited. I think it'll be super fun. It's going to be... And the show is in the round.

Some people have asked that about tickets. They're thinking, where are you facing and stuff. The show, so I will be in the middle, and when you go up, you just kind of make a circle. So you'll be facing everybody. I'll probably just sit down, face one way. You pick a direction. I go east, Aaron Owen goes east. He's the east comic. East would be weird. You'd be facing sideways. Yeah.

I'm going to practice at home just making circles. How many times do you think you get around, Aaron? You mean throughout the course of a 10-minute set? Yeah.

I'll probably make a couple laps. Yeah. I can get all the way around. You move around though. I do move around too much, honestly. Yeah. Working on it. Well, this is going to be a good thing for you. Okay. Yeah. I feel like when you're up there, you're not going to trust your back. Yeah. Well, that's true. Yeah. That is true. What's going on back there? Yeah. People are laughing behind me. I feel like it's at me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you're going to have to always just kind of be.

You're going to feel exhausted when you get off. Yeah, mentally, for sure. Paranoid, my nerves will be shot. I think, Brian, you will end up sitting on the stage the whole show because you'll forget where to get off. That's a good chance of that. That almost happened to me this weekend. I did my dry bar set, and you just kind of walk out through a curtain, and getting back off and finding that curtain where you go back through the cracks is a little more challenging. Yeah.

You should get off like, just because the video is not political, but like Joe Biden getting off the stage. That's how you should always leave a stage. You just get done and you go, all right.

Which way? And then someone has to come up and grab you. Yeah. Or like award shows. They win. They almost always walk the wrong direction. That would be a good part of your act. Just the end of it. You make... Someone has to come up and show you how to get off. You always go the other way. And then someone grabs you. Well, let me tell you what happened. So I did dry bar this weekend. Two tapings. And it went really well. But these audiences...

are trained at the end to give you a standing ovation. It happens pretty much every time. And it's like, you did that, was it Comedy.TV? Yeah. Where they know to stand at the end. There's three comics on this lineup. Really feels special when you know they're supposed to do it. They stand up when you walk out and when you leave. On Comedy.TV, they did when you walk out and when you leave. Okay. Well, for this, they stand at the end. I'm first. There's three comics. There's an emcee that goes out and tells everybody, you know, the story.

Routine stuff. Go to the bathroom now. Blah, blah, blah. Then I go out. I'm first. Have a good set. Get done. Nobody stands. I get off. Second comic goes out. Has a good set. Nobody stands.

Third comic, super high energy, does sound effects, has a flashlight. I mean, super high energy. People don't stand. None of us, they stand. So I asked the producer about it, and she's like, well, the emcee forgot to tell the audience that for TV purposes, if you guys would stand at the end or whatever. So she's like, we'll get it down for show two. I'm like, okay. And I listened to him, and he does tell the audience, hey, guys, it looks good on camera. If you stand or whatever. Show two starts. I go out there, have a great set.

Nobody stands. And this time I linger for just like a little bit longer, you know, like anybody want it? No, no. And then I, you know, then I get off. Second guy goes up and I guess he does. I didn't see this. He told me he basically kind of encourages the crowd with his hand. They get up thinking they can edit that out. You know, he'll kind of encourage. He basically just like, and then everyone stands. Oh no.

Third guy goes out, just tells the audience before his last joke, hey guys, this is my last joke. It'd be great if you'd stand. He kind of makes a joke about it. I don't know if they'll keep that part in or not. It was kind of funny. I hope they do. I mean, it's kind of funny. He's basically telling them, I need a standing ovation or whatever. So he gets...

So now I'm the only one that didn't get the standing ovation. Now the emcee goes out and is basically telling everyone goodnight. But the second comic kind of felt bad for me. So he kind of runs out right when the guy's wrapping up and says, hey, Brian didn't get a standing ovation. Could we get one now? Oh, God. So I go up there on stage. The guy's like, what? Okay. And then I go up there on stage.

Now the audience just thinks poor Brian didn't get a standing ovation. They don't realize it's for the cameras. So I just walk out there and they just all immediately stand up and start cheering and clapping. I don't even have a mic in my hand. The curtain is drawn behind me. I'm just standing there.

There's nothing continuity-wise. For my set, the stool was over here with a glass of water that had never been drinking out of it. It feels like a make-a-wish at this point. Now the stool's over here and the glass is empty. The mic stand's different. I have to move all this myself and just try to guess where I had it.

At this point, I don't know if the director's even back there. She might have been in the car by now. I don't know. And then, you know how on a real standing ovation, it's a gradual stand up. For me, it's just everybody just stood at the same time and cheered. So who knows if that'll even make it on the air. I hope so. I hope so. I hope just like that. And I hope the curtain's shut and I hope it looks good.

Everybody, when they watch it, it'll be interesting to see. Yeah. And I'm out there with no mic, so I can't even say, guys, guys, not yet, not yet. I can't do anything, so I just have to stand there until they get done. As you move stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, basically. So it looks like you look like the janitor out there cleaning the stage and they're like, give it up for the work staff, everybody. The audience just loves watching you move stuff. Women already had purses on their arms. I mean, people are ready to go. What is this? And you're gathering your belongings and moving a stool over it.

With a glass of water that's now empty all of a sudden. Amazingly. He goes, I guess he pounds that water at the end. And nothing like the emcee being like, do stand up after the comic.

And then you're done and they don't. I know. No matter how good you did, you think. The audience really rejected that. It's like they didn't get it. People came up to me after the show, a lot of folks there, very nice, and they said, that's the most breakfast thing we could have ever experienced. They loved it. But they kept saying, we were a...

They missed it or something. We were afraid to stand because we were afraid we'd block the cameras or something. Or at least that's what they told me. Maybe they just didn't want to. No. Well, yeah. People don't. You know, the taping, I think people are just. They're nervous. Yeah. They're like, I don't want to mess anything up. Yeah. It really takes one person to do it to get everybody to do it. But nobody. I was like looking at guys like you. Will you stand? No. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Everyone just thought they felt sorry for me. Like, come on, guys. Just give Brian a standing ovation. It just like they felt like. Oh, I hope that makes it special. Yeah. Well, some fashion will. I hope they even show the other comic going up to say, hey, guys. Brian didn't get a standing ovation.

I mean, I feel sorry for him. That's how they should start the special. Yeah. With that guy going, Brian didn't get a standing ovation. If someone walked in the room, they'd be like, oh, how old's Brian? 17. And they're like, I didn't see you walk out. He's a kid. He's a kid. They're like, yeah, I'll do that for that. I mean, what is he like 17 or something? First show? Yeah. I like what you said. Start that way and then do a free frame. And there I was. Yeah. 30 minutes earlier.

Wow. What was his name that did the flashlight? It wasn't Mutzi. Okay. We've talked about him before. It was a guy named Darren Carter. Oh, I know Darren. Oh, you did? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Darren's great. Yeah. Yeah. Super fun. Yeah, yeah. He's great. Yeah. Wow, that's fun. But even like asking, like even if you know the audience is supposed to do it, they've not been doing it, but like ask it. I could never do it. I could never ask Darren.

I mean, I don't really get them, but I'm uncomfortable if people stand. And if I could never ask, you know what I mean? Even if it's just for the tape, just the idea, I couldn't do it. Well, for the record, I did not ask. I know you did. Yeah. But it's the taping is like, it's just such a weird, like you're like, well, you know, they have no footage of anybody standing. But truthfully, they could have just used the footage of another comedian. Yeah.

and show you that's what they're probably going to do yeah it's up they don't have cameras facing the audience that shot is always from the back oh so you see the you see the comic on stage when you see people stand up yeah so i'm going to be in there some form it's footage of another comic they just dub you over they have to put that in the credits the stage is blurry

Because they can't show it. But it's a guy that... You see Darren's red hair and you're like, is that... Has Darren ever had red hair? He's bald. Bald, yeah. He is red. He did. Used to be. Used to be. Yeah. Do you know Darren? No. Oh.

That's so fun, dude. Well, I was in Las Vegas this weekend. I haven't seen you all in a while. I was in Chicago, Milwaukee, Iowa, and then last weekend I was in Vegas. I want to shout out to Nancy. Got my first massage. Got a massage. Felt pretty good. Yeah. I had a couple knots the size of golf balls on my back. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. The therapist commented on it quite a bit. Yeah. Said I need to start doing it regularly. Who knows if I will, but we had a great time. Thank you, Nancy. Yeah. In Las Vegas. That's good. She's got a company or something? Yeah. Guys, look up Nancy if you go to Las Vegas. Well...

Check her out. Massage Envy is the place we got it done. Massage Envy. Go to nancy.com. Slash Las Vegas. Slash Las Vegas. Only Nancy in Vegas. A lot of knots. You'll find them. Well, I went to Phoenix.

I've been to Syracuse and Phoenix since the last time. And, but Phoenix, me and Aaron went there last year to stand up live in Phoenix. And I've always had a great time. I've been there many years, but last year,

I don't know if it was people just coming out of COVID or what, but it was wild. I mean, people were out of control. All the tables in the front were drunk. And I mean, the people's faces, like they would yell out things and then you would try to comment to them and you look at their face and it's like, there's no soul in the body. It's just a face. And it was unbelievable. And-

Unbelievable in a bad way. I mean, a guy looked at me and it's like he didn't even remember what he had just said to me.

And I just, I had to get people kicked out of there. But this year was great. A lot of Nateland people came and it was like a complete turnaround. Really great. Even Aaron texts me, he goes, I hope it's better for you than last year. And it was. But someone, I guess, commented on the Nateland podcast group on Facebook about me leaving before the meet and greet was over. But

After the second show on Saturday, it was chaos in there. It was my busiest show. So people were coming out of the show and then there's people coming into the next show and then there's a live band that's extremely loud and it was just chaos. And I didn't realize that I left...

before people were out of line but i would look at the line the line would be empty and then i would take a picture and then now there's more people in line and i thought people from the late show were getting into that line and i was just like i gotta like take a minute before i start this next show yeah so sorry about that but uh yeah it was great we had a great time yeah i think you guys the fans know where they stand with dusty and yeah he likes some of you yeah

His is limits. I like it when you get into the line early. Yeah. Now that, that, that area at staying up live, right? Yeah. That area is, can get, uh, just be a zoo just because it's, uh, it is, they have that bar and then when you have two shows and they're coming and going, it's just a hard place to, cause they put you like right out. And that's, that's an awesome club. It's so great. Uh,

It's so great that there's so many people there. Yeah, it's a good thing. And then you have like, yeah, the next door, yeah, it gets hard. And it is hard too. Sometimes you think it's like you're standing out there, you're like, you don't know that people want to, you might be like, is it over? I don't know. Like, you know, and you feel awkward and you're like, I'm just standing here. I don't want to make someone come up to me. And so it's, sometimes it's like confusing and then you're like, I don't want to just go back because I'm,

you know, it's almost pure awkwardness. People were yelling. One guy was like, Hey, who'd you open for last year? And it's like, well, I, you know, I headlined last year and it's like, so I got to yell out the correction. Yeah. And it's just like, it's a lot going on. When I was there with you, Nick Novicki came down and did a guest set and we're out there and some drunk lady asked him if she could pick him up. Yeah. It was just crazy. Yeah. What'd he say? No. Yeah. He said no. I mean, no, no. Yeah. Yeah.

He let it happen. Yeah. All right. Now he, yeah, yeah. It was just, uh, yeah. Well, then you get that mix too. You just don't know who's going in where.

But I mean, it is. Yes. I kept thinking that people coming to the next show were just going ahead and getting in the picture line, which. That happens. And then I was like, this is going to be never ending. Well, yeah. Well, that's the weird part, too, is you don't want to be standing out there when the next show is walking in. Yes. That feels very uncomfortable. Yeah, I don't like it. Because it's like it's like from what's that word? Presumptuous. Presumptuous.

it feels very presumptuous. Yeah. That you're, you know, that you're sitting there and you think that. Well, when people want to take pictures with me before a show, I always think that's exactly what I think. Like, well, if you don't like the show, now you're just going to delete this picture. Yeah. And I'd rather just wait till after. Yeah. And then if I don't see you after the show, I'll assume you took the picture with me, but then didn't like it. And that's why I'm not seeing you again. You want proof of life. Yes. Okay.

And even I feel like it ruins the mystique, right, to see someone before the show. Yeah. I want you to see me, you know, coming out on stage for the first time. After the show, it doesn't matter. But before, it's like, you know, we're trying to maintain some entertainment presence. You don't be walking. Yeah. Well, that's the fun, you know, where you do want it to be the first time they see you is that's the show. Right. It's like a show. Yeah.

Yeah. They see you in the parking lot with a shirt on a hanger walking into the club and stuff. Yeah, I'm like peeing by my car or something out there. You know what I mean? Yeah. Well, some of these clubs, you have to use the public bathroom. Right, yes. Go in there and just pee next to a guy.

Yeah, I'll go outside to keep from doing that. I do that a lot, actually. Yeah, yeah, that's always... You pee outside? Yeah. Yeah, to... Yeah, yeah, I mean... I think you could there. Yeah, I mean... There's a lot of... There's, you know, there's a nice homeless in Phoenix. Yeah, well, in Phoenix, they do give me my own bathroom. Yeah. So that's... No, Phoenix is awesome. It's a great club. But it's... Yeah, the other clubs, like...

Yeah, when you have to go pee. I'll go in a stall, and then you just, if you hear someone come in, you just got to wait till they leave. Yes, yes. Because you don't want to be like, hey. But now your sneaker game's so good, you got to stand up on the toilet. Yeah, I take my shoes off when I go. Yeah, because you don't want to be doing urinal talk right before you go out and do comedy. No, no. I know comics that would, that don't care. Yes. That's a level of confidence. I've had to do it, but it's tough.

All right, let's start with some of you guys' comments. As always, we appreciate you writing all this stuff in. Chris E., I'm from Alabama and pronounce Compass the same way as Dusty. Everyone I know says it this way. Maybe it's an Alabama thing. What?

What was the word? Compass. Compass? I'm not familiar. Compass. Compass. What did you say? Compass. Compass. Yeah, compass. Compass. We just read it, you know? We just go right through the compass. Sounds like past tense, like you just used one. That's always been Alabama's problem, just reading too accurately. Yeah, exactly. It does sound like you'd go, do you know where we're going? Yeah, I just compassed it. Yeah. Yeah.

Here, give me the compass. I'll do it again, but I've already compassed today. Already compassed. Sounds like that. I got it. Compassed out. Well, I think there's a difference like compress versus compress. Those are two different things. I don't know what compress is. Like a hot compress. Like let's say you have an injury. A knot. Golf ball knot. Yeah.

Go see Nancy. Go see Nancy. She would use a hot compress. Yes. Yeah. She wouldn't use a compress. Yeah. What was that, dude? That squishes something? Right. Yeah. We're trying to do the opposite. Yeah, yeah. David DeSharoon.

Disharoon. I like that while trying to figure out how to pronounce the word compass correctly. Four comedians compared it to words like Comcast, but never comedy. Thanks for all the laughs, guys. Yeah. It's not comedy. Yeah. You know what I mean? Comedy. But you were the one trying to make the argument. Guys, it's Comcast. You were using other examples. Comedy would have worked perfect for your argument. Yeah, it would have. Yeah, I mean, I missed it. I mean, David Disharoon is correct. Yeah.

Tan demand. You can use the word had four times in a row in a sentence and it still makes perfect sense. For example, what he had had had had an effect on people. I love to say had had. I like a nice had had. What he had had done. Yeah, yeah.

Dustin Gaddis. I'm not here to advocate for Klingon, but if it has a whole alphabet and people speak it, is it really a fake language? Who decides when a language is real or fake? Which is spoken more today, Klingon or Latin? That's a good point. Yeah, I mean, if people are communicating that way, that does make it a language. I think you'd have to start your own town.

Yeah. You know, and then just be like, we do Klingon. And then you'd be like, when you come to the town, you have to do it. Just a bunch of like real Klingy people. Yeah. I think we said it before, but it is crazy. Latin was the one that everybody, they were like, you need, you should take Latin. People, I just remember people taking Latin and it's just gone. Yeah. Well, it was gone even when I took it, but as far as a dead language, but it just died out. Yeah. Christina Fisher. Yeah.

The deaf actually also created the football huddle. Gallaudet University was the first all-deaf university, and their football team realized after several games that their opponents were learning the signs they used for the various plays. Thus, they created the huddle to keep their next move a secret. Wow. There they are. Look at that. That makes sense. Football players were built a little differently back then, huh? Yeah.

The deaf ones were. There's not a lot of chest going on there for those guys. No. Not a lot of bench pressing going on back then, I think. Yeah. All leg packs. He probably just kicked. I wonder what the injuries were back then. They always talk about the helmets. Like if you just took the face mask off a helmet. Or they made them play with no helmet or something. Like it would be. It would take care of a lot of the head injuries. Yeah, yeah.

They got the facial expression down to look tough. Well, they had to stand still for 35 minutes to have this picture taken. Yeah, I mean, it might be the first picture they've ever seen. Yeah, I don't know what's going on. No one even knew what that was. Like their souls got snatched right off. Skolt, Skolt, Skolt Roos.

Scoot Roos. Scoot Roos. It's Scott. Scott. Scott Rouse. I'm the guy from the behavior panel that talked about Nate being the most competent sitter I've ever seen. I'm a body language expert and analyst, and I train law enforcement and the military in interrogation and body language. Just a heads up, the 93% body language thing is a myth. If you've ever played charades, you know how hard it is to communicate without using words. Ooh.

That's true. I don't understand what he's saying, but I don't. Well, on an episode before you were here, we showed a clip from, I guess, their podcast where he said Nate is the most confident or competent, depending on how you heard it, sitter of anyone he's ever seen. Wow. What do you think that's all about? They played footage of him on Jimmy Fallon and were like, look how confident he is sitting. He's one of the best sitters we've ever seen. Oh, I got to be one of the worst sitters. Yeah.

I would imagine I would rank pretty low on confident sitting. Yeah. There's things I do confidently, but it's not sitting still. How much have you sat down on TV? Not a lot. Yeah. I did David Spade show a couple of times. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and you sat down there. I sat down there. Yeah. I think I felt pretty good there. Yeah. I don't know that you would say I was 93% confident.

You sit down like someone's about to ask you to leave. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think that's probably where I learned it. Yeah. I did a sports show in Chicago last week with this guy, David Kaplan, who's very cool. And I sat. I didn't know how to sit because it was like a chair like this. Yeah. So I just put a foot up over the other one like that. I thought that looked all right. I looked casual. Yeah, no, it helped. The North Face jacket helped. Yeah.

I sat like that the whole time. Yeah, it looks like a fan. They got robbed out of the stand. We found Aaron. We got this guy, Aaron. He was at the Notre Dame game earlier today. Aaron, how do you feel? He's like, I thought it was going to rain today. The rain didn't come in like I thought, and I wore this. This guy won't leave now. Yeah. Look, he's got a suit. Oh, it's his show. He got a turtleneck. What kind of things does he have in his pocket there?

there. He's got a lock on. He's got a pocket protector. You do the foot thing like I do though. You're tapping the foot. I was watching it back and I started to notice. I was just moving my foot a lot. I didn't quite know how to sit. I could just lean forward like he's doing.

The point is, I'm sitting next to the most confident sitter in the world. I'd just like some tips. Yeah. I mean, North Face jacket, start. Take that off. At least give yourself a chance. Well, a lot. It looks like you're on TV. A lot went into that, me wearing that jacket. The shirt I'm wearing is a little smaller than I would have liked. Yeah. So I had to throw something on over it. Yeah. Okay. And then I also needed somewhere to put the lapel mic. Yeah. Which I couldn't do on just the t-shirt. So I asked everybody there, I'm like, can I just wear this? And they're like, yeah, I guess. Yeah.

Yeah. Should have read into that a little bit. Read into that. Yeah. It would be, it's like, you just should have a jacket. I wear hoodies and stuff, but it's like, just, just bring a nice, like at least like somewhat comfortable,

either, yeah, I don't know, like a hoodie or, I mean, maybe zip it up and even like, and don't show the- I think you could zip it up a bit more, yeah. Yeah, you can zip it up more. This wasn't really why I wanted to show. I was talking more about the sitting. We didn't need to critique my whole wardrobe here. I'm working with what I got, you know? Yeah, you let them know a Wrigley field to be like, I know y'all are a town and you've seen ya. Here's part of my Wrigley shirt I bought that's a little too tight. So you were gonna wear short sleeves.

I didn't think about it as much as I probably should have. A t-shirt and short sleeves on a show. I mean, whew. I mean, I'm just, you know, just tell them no next time.

I think they'll do that for him. Yeah. No, I had fun with him. I thought it was a good interview. I should have thought more about what I wore for sure. These are new things that I, you know. That's true. These are new things for me, new challenges for me. They are. I do need to think about what I wear. Look, people probably go back and look, and you're going to find just nonsense that I have on. Yeah.

But if you do do it, you got to look, decide what is a YouTube. If something's a podcast, doesn't count. Yeah. Or if it's like a YouTube interview, doesn't count. But if it's a TV. And this is like a big show. I found a lot of people told me they saw me on this. This is like the Skip Bayless or Stephen A. Smith of Chicago. Yeah. Did you say I thought we were going to do it in the rain? I heard it was open air, this interview. Look at the dome in here.

He goes, I didn't realize there was going to be. Next time you should wear exactly what that guy's wearing. Just come in dressed like him. Yeah. Yes. Turtleneck, purple blazer. Yes. I like his look. He's got a sharp look. He's like a good, a good go-to, uh, for like, you know, this is a sports show. So it's like, and you're a comic, like, so you don't want to, you don't need to be dressed like him, but it's, I think good. Cause it was like, you get, you find out, uh,

a plain hoodie and a jacket to go over it. Okay. Always a solid, like kind of comic, like looks, you know, it's somewhat look, it looks nice. It looks like if I'm going to go buy tickets, like you got things, someone's thinking, am I going to pay tickets for this guy? And, you know, and then they go, all right, he's funny. And they look to their dad and they go, well, he's wearing the same stuff as that guy. And we're on vacation.

And he's working. You know? I say turtlenecks every interview. Yeah? Yeah.

Well, I hope David Kaplan will have me back. I had a good time. And I'll be sure to dress nicer. Yeah, David, if you hear this, David, just give him another chance. Unfiltered, David Kaplan. It is, especially if you think that the interview, like, I don't know, sometimes I'll get TV staff and I think, oh, it's just going to be like a morning TV. And then you show up and it does seem like a bigger deal. You're like, oh, now I feel underprepared. Mm-hmm.

That's how you can wear what you're wearing and just be like, you're going to be all right. It's either like it's going to look nice or it starts becoming your character of what you're wearing. It's either way you can go. Right. I just try to dress how I'm going to perform that night. Yeah. Look, I'm making fun of you. There might be something that I've done.

But it is true. You learn it. You learn it. And you go, all right. Yeah. Because you do learn. I mean, I had an old Conan. I had a shirt that had like the tag on it of someone else's name. It looked like one of those gas station shirts. I think that was the kind of the style then. Yeah. But it was like, yeah, why would I wear a shirt with another man's name on it?

I like to wear my own hats on late night. Yeah. My own name on there. Yeah. Yeah. Try to get those sales up. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's good. Yeah. You look confident though. So you do a merch pitch. Yeah. Yeah. And they're like, welcome to Conan. You do your. I just. Yeah. It's five minutes of merch. Yeah. Yeah.

Dakota, this is the Dakotas episodes. Shay Martin, I'm from South Dakota. I'm so excited to hear the podcast come out about my home. The Sturgis Rally is nuts. We all rent our homes and get out of town because the traffic is just insane. The majority of the people that attend the rally have their bikes shipped in on semis, and they fly in and meet their bikes for the week. It is a unique, one-of-a-kind experience, and you should all come to check it out. But we will not be here.

That is fun. That kind of ruins the thing for the bikers to me. What? That they're shipping them in. Yeah, I bet they get, you know, you just get older. We could drive it from Florida. You know, you're like, eh. A motorcycle. That must be tough. Yeah, you're just, I'm sure there's people that do it. I was just going to say, can I say how much I think your reading has improved since this podcast started? Thanks. You're really nailing it these days. It's kind of less fun.

But a lot of practice. Are you working on it outside of the podcast? No, no, no. I have trouble with a lot of stuff. Being born in Fargo and living in... Larry Miller Jr. Larry Miller Jr. All right, never mind. Being born in Fargo and living in Alabama, I might as well have been born in Narnia. When I went to Auburn for college, I had multiple people tell me they didn't think Fargo was a real place, only a movie. I had friends that would introduce me and say, this is my buddy Larry. He was born in Fargo.

I think I would do that every time. Yeah. Yeah. As a person who basically grew up where he went to college, yeah. I mean, it would have been wild living in Opelika, meeting someone from Fargo. Yeah. You almost wouldn't be able to wrap your head around it. Yeah. Yeah. My wife's from Canada. I still do that. I introduce her. It's my wife. She's from Canada. Yeah. That's crazy. I know. I love it. It's amazing. Yeah. They let them come down here sometimes. Yeah.

Sounds like you're mellowing her bride. Yeah. Got her from Canada. Yeah. That's what I tell my friends back home. I had to go out of country to get this one. With your kids, how do you feel about the Made in America thing? Well,

Oh, my kid being made in America? No, I'm saying it's part not. Okay. It's like half American. You look like a man that wants stuff made in America. You know what? Well, we hired over. There was an Oak Ridge Boys song I liked called American Made where he's like, my baby is American made. It's a great song, but I can't sing it now. Yeah. Right? It feels like I'm cheating on my wife singing this song. Well, she's North American made. Yeah. That is true. That is true. She's American.

What? No, that's right. These lyrics are ridiculous, too. I just pulled them up. We don't have to read through them. There's a lot going on in this. To my video game, this is that song. I liked it as a kid, all right? Yeah, it's pretty on the nose. I can't vouch for all the lyrics here. I don't know what's about to go on. Yeah, you can cancel now, but it's a hot song. Yeah, I can't vouch for the lyrics. Yeah, I didn't know you were going to pull up the whole song. Look them up on your own time, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah. Yeah.

John Naram. As comics, my fiance and I moved to Nashville from Fargo. After seeing Dusty and Nate live, North Dakota is a weird, fun state. I met John. John just got engaged to his fiance Paula just like a week ago. That's cool he wrote in. Great guy. Very fun. Yeah.

Him and his fiance. Oh, he's a comic. Yeah, they're both comics. They're both really funny. When you were in, I think it was South Dakota, did you get a chance to ride that haunted elevator? Probably not. No. I was wondering to hear if you saw the guy who fell down the shaft. Yeah, we would have loved to. We went, we did, because we did that. It was awesome.

I'll tell you, I mean, we're at Fargo and then Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls has a theater that is beautiful. Sioux Falls, South Dakota. And I mean, it was like, you could take the special in this theater and it would look awesome. Yeah. Like it was just, it was inside an old high school. And inside of the high school, they put this unreal theater. So the outside looks like an old high, is an old high school. That's really cool. Yeah, it was, it was super cool.

The physics episode's comment. Craig Brannon, the fact that you guys brought in an expert for the Bigfoot episode but not for the physics episode says it all. That is true. Well, we got Aaron right here.

Yeah, that's true. You know? Oh, I think I let some people down, and I apologize about that. People do have been getting mad at you about stuff in the comments about, it's like. I know. I mean, you never claimed to be a physics expert. I thought I made it pretty clear I wasn't. Taylor Smith, the fact that this experiment wasn't tested prior to the episode is the exact reason I love this podcast.

yeah i mean i want to do it in real time back in my day geraldo rivera opened al capone's vault live on television and it backfired on him there was nothing in there but is that what got you into journalism yep yep uh geraldo he's still around he's still doing good still doing stuff he's still out there and a lot of people said why didn't you get a good too like he looks the same tremendous shape yeah yeah just like me um

A lot of people questioned why I didn't get a deeper tub to do the experiment in, which would, in retrospect, would have been better since it didn't work. But I was trying to find a clear tub so the cameras could actually see the drinks going in. I don't have a larger clear tub. So that's the reason. All right. Ian Connell. Connell. That's probably Connell.

Ian Connell, I like the ambition to cover the topic of physics, but maybe they should stick to topics more of their speed, like physical education. Oh, that's nice. That's nice. Yeah, I agree. I think that's a compliment, really. Like we're all in shape, is what he's saying. Yeah. We know a lot about PE. Yeah.

Caleb Bell, as an engineer, I was expecting this pod to be riddled with errors, but there wasn't that much to correct. Here's to new beginnings, gentlemen. Well, that's what I'm saying. Space is not real. I've always said it from the beginning. Space is not real.

I get into it. Before we get started in just this episode, I did go, one of the places I went this weekend in Rockford, it was in Roscoe, Illinois, right by Rockford. Rockford, by the way, I went out and I said, like, here to be in Rockland. I called it Rockland. And I've never done that.

But it was because, and I told him too, like I felt, I was like, oh my gosh. But I was like, I was opening with a joke about something I did that day in that town. So I just was like, and I was like thinking about it right when I went out. And I was like over, like just thinking about that joke. So he just kind of just, and I just said Rockland. But so they have a, there's a historic auto shop.

Uh, yeah. Yep. Attraction in, uh, auto. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Auto museum. Yep. First one. So the historic auto attractions in, uh, Rockford and it's unbelievable, dude. It's one of the better museums I've ever been to. So it's a guy that like collected, he just has cars of everybody. That's Elvis's car. They have, uh,

Bonnie and Clyde. That's not their car, but they have, he has the, that's from the movie, but they have the, he has the actual hat that Bonnie and Clyde were both wearing. She had like a,

you know, like a woman's like kind of thing on. And then he had a hat and you can see the bullet holes in the hat. And that was actually the hat they had on when they were shot. Wow. And so he has a bunch of stuff like that. Like it's unreal. Uh, the amount of stuff he has, uh, the craziest that he had, you go to, he has a Stalin scar on,

Stalin's car. Wow. And then he has Hitler's car. Wow. And there's a picture of Hitler in the car.

that is shown and like so there's a guy there if you ever go to this place go ask for tony it was an awesome man that helped us with uh i mean just knew so much i'm gonna post something on instagram about it just because we were very surprised by this it's pretty wild it's pretty like you know just when you go see i mean it was like they did have a lot like stalin's car they had like uh

A lot of stuff. Hitler's car is crazy. And you're like, it's a lot. You're like, golly. Also, they have Batmobile and Ghostbusters. And so first we're like, oh, we're going to see Batmobile and Ghostbusters. And by the time you get to Batmobile and Ghostbusters, you've seen JFK car and the Hitler stuff and Stalin. You just breeze by. You're like, who cares about Ghostbusters? It was just...

That whole part, we had a lot of... It was so interesting. Ask for Tony if you go. You should go to it. Not a lot of people know about this. People in that town don't know about this. It's...

It's huge. We could have spent, especially with Tony, like you can do it. Tony was saying he would do tours. So you can set up a tour. You can ask Tony or ask a tour for Tony. And they're just trying to get more people to come. And he was like just a wonderful man. He was like 74. He's been married. Him and his wife have been together 53 years. He has a Sanford Sun truck?

Tony's not the owner. He's the one that like, he just volunteers his time. But they have it. They have it. Yep. Oh man. I'm all about some Sanford's. Yeah. They had, yeah. I'd skip Stalin and Hitler and go right to that. I think they did. I don't know. They could have not had that. Like, I don't remember seeing that, but I also could have missed some stuff. I mean, you end up,

no you just can't like that when he's talking about the hitler and like what they you know it's like yeah just having that like you're there a lot like you're like this is wild dude like it's almost weird you know because it's one of those like all right should you have that do you want that but like they he talked about it like it's they have it behind glass it's very weird and creepy and uh they talked about it being creepy and you know he's like it's

But it's... I don't know. Did Hitler drive himself? No, no. And so what's interesting with his car was... So his plan was... And I just know this because I learned it this weekend. I'm actually watching a movie on it. He was...

I might do this as... I'm going to see if I'm going to do this as a joke, so I don't know, but I'll say it here. But part of it was... I actually might try to do this as a joke, but I'll just say it. But I was like, he keeps going... He was like, Tony would know the file numbers of stuff. He's like, what's in the archives of file numbers 7, 4, 5, 6, 8, like that. And I'm like, Tony, I don't even know if I know what World War II was about. So you could...

I'm like, we're good on file numbers. I was like, I'm learning everything from you right now. I don't remember school, Tony. And so it was just so interesting learning.

So crazy. That's cool. And where's this? Oh, Roscoe, Illinois. Yeah, it's near Rockford. Is that a Conway Twitty car that you passed by there? Yeah. They have race cars. They had Bigfoot, like a Bigfoot truck. Oh, yeah. I remember Bigfoot. I mean, so just getting to stand up close to that. Monster trucks. That was the thing, man. Those tires, they're 10, 12 feet.

It's like a regular, it's a regular truck on the top, it looks like. Which we thought it's funny if you sold that and you're, you know, and it's like, you're like, it's a regular truck. The cabin is regular. And, you know, it's like, wow, the wheels are, you know, the wheels are there. Yeah. The wheels are there. Good size tires on it. Good size tires on it.

I was parking it. It was either easy or hard. It could be either one. Yeah, if you want to run over some cars, easy. Extremely easy. But if you're more self-conscious about that kind of stuff, it's going to be difficult. Yeah. You have to park far out. How's your insurance? Yeah. Insurance, liability only, to be honest. You don't need anything else but get the most of the liability you can possibly get. You're going to need all of that. Yeah, it was a neat experience.

Very neat surprise. Yeah. All right. This week. This week for Halloween, we're talking about horror movies and spooky stories. So almost anything you Google, what's the best this, what's the best that, you're going to get varied answers. But when I look up what's the best horror movie of all time, almost every list had the same answer. You want to guess? Halloween? No. Wait. Shining. Shining.

Shining Zone up there for sure. Scary movie too. The Exorcist. The Exorcist. Oh. Yeah. I think it won an Academy Award. It took it to another level as far as not just scary, but well-made and stuff like that. So most polls show The Exorcist is the best haunted movie of all time. But then there's scientists like to get involved. They always do. Yeah.

So there's a science of scare project where they looked at what are the best. It should have been done at Harvard. The best scary movies. And they hook up heart monitors to people and they track their heart rate. This should be done at like MTSU. I hope it was.

Because then you would just be like, okay. My alma mater. Yeah, like it would be like just a regular, you know, like Eastern Michigan. You're like, okay. All right. Like good. You're like and make it, you know, that's what they should do. These other colleges, if you don't want to compete with Harvard, just go. We do fun things. Yeah. This is Princeton. And we, exactly. I'm just kidding. Oh. Yeah, we do fun science projects. We do fun science. Yeah. And we're not charging you a.

a trillion dollars to come here. You may never be able to use the degree. No, no, but we know what it is. Yeah. Welcome to Northern Illinois, where we figure out, you know, where the goosebumps come from. Right. And you go, well, I want to know where goosebumps come from. These should do it. Jacksonville State here, we love figuring out how big are ears. Yeah.

And why? And why? Are yours too big? Too small? You're listing all the schools that MTSU plays and that Vanderbilt maybe gets a win against. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Northern Illinois. Chattanooga. Tech. Yeah, is it Chattanooga? No, it's UTC. Yeah, the Moccasins. Yeah, the Moccasins. That's right. Yeah, it's like they should do it like that, you know? Yeah.

Well, they hooked up Art Monitors and they said prevent audience fatigue. They didn't do like screening after screening after screening because they didn't feel like that'd be fair. You'd be tired after multiple movies, so they spread it out. But this is their list of the scariest movies out there. Some of these I've heard of, some I haven't. I have not heard of the number one scariest movie of all time, Host. I've never heard of that. The Conjuring, I know. Heredity. Yeah, you just blew it. What's Host? Host.

I don't know. It's about, it's a Airbnb. I read the description. Now I forgot. I've been in some scary ones, you know? Yeah. What's yeah. I'd like to know what host is. Maybe it's a bad restaurant. You're like, they tell you that the table's ready, but it is. Yeah. I don't know. It's a 2020 British computer screen, supernatural horror film directed by Rob Savage. It takes place on zoom. Okay. Wow. Interesting. Oh, wow.

I've seen a couple movies like that. They're really well done. Unfriended was one I saw. It's pretty good. It's jump scares. Always a scary experience. Getting unfriended. Because you're like, why? Yeah, that could be interesting to watch. It's the number one scariest movie of all time, based on a bunch of different factors. Right. They're based on your average heart rate and then what it peaks on and stuff like that. It's really interesting.

Yeah, there's a lot of jump scares. Does this account for the existential dread afterwards? The thinking about it that night, you know? Yeah. I started watching The Descent.

I was trying to watch it this weekend. Number 13 scariest movie of all time. Yeah, and I kind of had to stop. I was watching it, and I was like, I don't know if I'm going to be... They're in a cave. It's tight spaces. And I'm not even deep into it. And you're kind of like, I don't know. You get claustrophobic watching it? I don't know if I want to open something. I don't watch movies like that at all. I lay in a bunk.

No. Like, you know, you're just in a bunk laying there watching it. Yeah. So you're already in a... And I don't get claustrophobic on the bus, but you're already just...

Yeah, cave stuff is scary when you see people, even like National Geographic, they're just exploring little caves and it gets real tight. I'm like, I don't like that. My foot gets stuck in there and then I can't get out. Like if you try to put on a shirt and you can't find the head hole, I can freak out pretty quick. You know what I mean? You go with no shirt?

Yeah, you know, you're putting on the shirt and it's like, oh, it started a little panic ensues. I'm like, I don't like that. Yeah. I used to have a sleeping bag they could zip up and it was just a face hole, but I would put my head outside of it and I would sleep like that. I got stuck in it one night, freaked me out. Couldn't get the zipper down.

Oh. Yeah, I don't like it. Yeah. I'm not into it. I don't need extra fear. Yeah. You got enough on your own? Life's scary enough out here. Right, right. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. Thank you. I'm getting a little coffee. So do you apply that to other things outside of movies? You don't like roller coasters or anything like that? Well, I think that's exciting. Like, you're having a good time. But people can draw the same stuff out of movies and things like that.

Well, movies I like. Okay. But not... But not putting on shirts. Yeah, horror movies. Well, that's what he's saying, though. Yeah. Horror movies can bring out excitement. You get the same kind of excitement from a scary movie that you would a roller coaster. Yeah, but it is that dread that you're talking about, that you walk around, now you're like, oh, I didn't know that people could stab through the walls and stab me. You know what I mean? I didn't realize that. Now I do. Right. You know? There's a movie out now called Terrifier 2.

And it's a low-budget slasher movie. It says people are fainting and vomiting at the screenings. They've had to have people on medical personnel there because of the graphic violence and brutal depictions of horror. See, that sounds fun. Yeah, it sounds like a good job. Could you watch that? We could watch it. No, could you? Oh, I could, yeah. I like scary movies a lot. The gore is what I don't think I could do. Put a little popcorn in your hoodie, go watch a thing like that. Yeah, I mean, it's got to be just...

Non-stop. I mean, they did good where they make you want to go see it, but then it's got to be just... Well, now that I hear people are vomiting and fainting, now it's like an experience. Now I got to go watch it. It's a challenge. I got to go see. Yeah, exactly. See if I can handle it. Will you go watch it and tell us? Yeah, I'll let you know. I'll watch it tonight. Okay.

Is it on? It's at a movie theater. Will you pray the demons away, though, before you come back? I'll say a prayer before and after. Okay, yeah. I'm not going to bring them into the studio. Yeah, yeah. We did ghost hunting this weekend. Oh, yeah. I mean, just the theater in Rockford, they said it was haunted. And Justin had one of those recorders that you ask about.

You know, how long did you live here? Wasn't answering anything? No. Yeah, but it was weird where you're like...

I mean, I love ghost hunting shows. Like, I love watching them do that stuff. And then when you're doing it, you're like, am I supposed to be doing this? Yeah. You know? Angela Johnson, I hope she doesn't mind me telling this, she had a podcast about ghost hunting, and then she said she heard a voice come through on her headphones saying Angela, and she stopped doing it. Oh, really? She's like, they're getting too close to me. Flew too close to the sun. Yeah, I mean, we're not supposed to be contacting the dead. Yeah. Yeah.

I did a show last weekend in Davenport, Iowa at the Renwick Mansion, which is a haunted mansion, they say. And the guy running the show, Chris, he's told me they've had multiple incidents during shows of strange things happening. Like a comic will put his water bottle on the stool and then –

the cap will just fly off from the stool like somebody flicked it with their fingers into the audience. They have film of this. They're like, odd things will just happen all over the place there. I find that hard to believe. Yeah? I think if there was film of it, it would be the most amazing, famous video of all time. It's very funny you being the skeptic dressed like you're still with that hat. I actually find that hard to believe. The Dusty's coming through. Yeah, they should show the video.

Can you look it up? I asked. I said, can you show me the video? They're like, well, we'll find it. It's tucked away. They've got it somewhere. We never added it. Oh, these guys wouldn't lie to me. It's on my phone. They're nice guys. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if I like the recorder thing. Like, is they doing that? I like going in if it's creepy and you're like, oh, wow. Like, kind of just filling it out and stuff. But yeah, once we were doing that.

We did it, and it was funny because we were just being kind of funny. Yeah. But then you're also like, I don't know if I can be asking these questions. It feels weird. You're bringing it to yourself. Mm-hmm. Much different. Yeah. So they did a, we talked about on the Dakota episode, the Mount Rushmore's everything. Mount Rushmore of horror characters. And there's three that was kind of across the board. The fourth one, people had varying opinions on who should be the fourth person.

on the Bramout Rushmore. Candyman. Well, I mean... Is that one? That's not one of the three. Probably... Not like the fourth. Well, it could be. That was one of the ones suggested. Probably Jason. Is one. Freddie. Yeah. Mike Myers. Mike Myers. Yep.

And then the girl from The Ring. That was one that suggested. I put her up there. Candyman was one. I'd never seen Candyman, but I feel like Candyman's one that people always talk about. Ghostface was one that screamed. From Wu-Tang Clan? I don't know. That is interesting. I don't know what the other one would be. What's another franchise one? Because those were just so around.

The scream and the scream mask. That's one I think of. That's like an iconic image. Yeah. Yeah. But not like a singular character. I don't know. And then they branched out a little bit like what we like the alien from the movie Alien, which I don't really think of as a horror movie, but it's a scary movie. What about the character in Scary Movie 2 with the little hand?

That was always a pretty... I haven't seen those movies. I forget his name, though. He's a pretty... Scary Movie 2 was a good scary movie spoof movie. It's Chris Elliott. Chris Elliott, yeah. With the little heads. Yeah, I think I watched the first one and maybe the second one. And I remember them being like, they're very good. 2 is really good. They're so well done. I put him as my number four. Yeah. Chris Elliott from Scary Movie 2.

You ever seen that movie, The Family Man with Nick Cage? No. It's not really a horror movie. It's like a rom-com. But if you think about what's actually happening in the movie, it's terrifying. What's happening? Nick Cage plays a businessman who leaves his girlfriend to pursue a career.

And then years later, he's successful. He's rich. And then one night, he just wakes up in an alternate reality where he's back with this girl he left. And he's got a family and a blue-collar job. And he hates it. He wants to go back to his rich life. But eventually, he grows to love these kids. He loves his wife. He wants to stay in this life, this new life that he'd abandoned. And then the movie ends. He's back to his original self.

No, yeah. Wow. You wrapped it up and ruined it for everybody. Well, it's a pretty old movie. It's going to watch Shawshank Redemption. I mean, the last little... The last sentence did not need to be said. But that's what's scary about it is that now he's back in his original life mourning

his children that never really existed. And it just kind of ends. Is Ian sad like that? Well, it doesn't really, it's not trying to be sad, but if you think about what actually happened, he loves this life and now that life is gone. Then he opens his bank account and he goes, oh, all right. We're back, baby. We're back. We're having a good time. That's the whole point of the movie is he loves his family more than those things. Yeah. And they're gone.

So that's the family, man. Give it a watch. Yeah. All right. Yeah, go watch it. Start at the end and go backwards. So in the movie Scream, the guy who voices Ghostface, they never let the actors meet him because Wes Craven, the director, thought it'd be scarier if you really don't even know who this voice is. And they never even heard his voice until they did the actual scenes, which is pretty smart, I think. Yeah.

Drew Barrymore was supposed to play Nev Campbell's lead role. Did you know this? I think I did. Yeah, and then the last minute she backed out. I think she had other things, but she's like, put me in it just at the beginning and still tease me that I'm in it. What happened to Nev Campbell? She had a really good moment in time. She still does. I mean, she's doing the screen things. I think she's probably got a lovely life of like, she pops up on these screen movies and...

Does a great job as the role of them and, you know, made a ton of money living it up. Canadian. Wow. Didn't see that coming. Dusty's type. Yeah. From Guelph. Guelph, Ontario. I've been through Guelph. I don't know if that's how you say it, but I've been through there. Yeah. She, how old is she? She is... A born... Doesn't have her age on there. No one knows. Interesting. Yeah.

Yeah, she, I knew that because it was interesting about Scream was that they opened, like Drew Barrymore at that time was the most famous actress. And then it was like, that's how good of a movie it was. That's why I like Scream. It's like, I feel like they just did stuff that was like, no one did that. To kill off somebody as famous as her. Yeah. Right away. Right away. And just be like, she's on the post. I mean, they used her for the posters and for everything where you think-

all right, well, she's got to be having a big part in this movie. And then just to be like,

It's just that one scene. That's an, I mean, it's. Yeah, Scream was pretty fun. I like a slasher more than I like a exorcist type movie. Like, I don't want to be getting into the, if it's just like murder, it's different than like. You don't want a psychological thing. I don't need the spiritual realm involved. You know what I mean? Okay. What about like these Jordan Peele movies? I saw the first one that he did. Get Out? Yeah, Get Out.

Well, I don't watch any new kind of horror movies because I feel like they're all demonic now. And I'm not. And I don't know. Maybe his is not, but I feel like... Yeah, I don't think his works. His aren't, no. But definitely, there are some. I just saw the movie Smile. It was kind of demonic, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I get worried that they're too gory now. Like, it's just getting... Like, you're like, all right, okay.

And so that scares me off from most of them. And if one comes along, I watch The Cabin in the Woods. That's a good one. That's a good one. Drew Goddard, he directed my pilot. He wrote that movie. Really? Man, that's a really good movie. It's like a parody of scary movies kind of. Yeah.

And it's like, that has gore in it, but it's like just, it's gotta be done really where it's, it's tastefully. Yeah. It's, it's, it can't just be, you know, they're doing stuff now. You're like, you know, like even that terrifier too. Like if it's like, you're like, so you're just showing that someone get cut open and you're like staying on it and like looking at you, you know, there's a point you're like, all right, I just don't, that's not my thing. Like, you know,

That's why like old gore is fun because it's like they're really like not great at it. Very fake. Yeah. So it looks fake enough where it doesn't bother you. Yeah. Yeah, and you had just the fear of like who's about to come around the door. Like that's what, you know, what's about to happen. Like that's the scare. I don't want to be grossed out.

It doesn't feel scary to me if it's like I'm gross. If you're grossed out, you're kind of like, well, now I'm just grossed out. Yeah. But it's like all these movies, it's like, you know, you watch Jason and then you're like afraid to go camping and you watch Freddy Krueger and now you're afraid to go to sleep. And I'm like, I don't need to be carrying that around.

Yeah. But that's the fear that I would say I like. It's like that where you go camping and you think, oh. Yeah, see, I want to just be like, oh, the stars and we're having a good time out here. I love the feel of the grass. So if you don't like that, what horror movies do you like?

I don't really like any of them. Scary Movie 2. Scary Movie 2 is really a lot of fun. You know, I remember watching Scream. I watched The Grudge and Saw in one night in the early 2000s. And I was like, all right, I'm done.

Yeah. I'm done with these now. Two pretty gory movies. Yeah. We, we, you know, we also stole the second movie. Basically we went to one and then we theater hop to the next one. So, so, you know, I was, you know, committing a crime. Yeah. And that probably added to it. Yeah. That's tough. That's always was the most fun thing to do though. If you could sneak in and go do two movies.

Yeah, I'm not... I don't do scary movies. I saw Halloween for the first time in a drive-in theater in the dark. That was one of the best things we ever did. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. On the road. Like, yeah, Louisville. I saw Louisville, Kentucky. They did it where we... It was awesome. Like, just... We played it. That was pretty intense. Because you just had a building next to you. Like, it was like a...

power plant or something. You just hear something in the woods. I mean, we're just middle of nowhere. Well, there was an insane asylum next door, right? Oh, yeah. So we were talking about that all night. Yeah. Yeah. And there was a power plant. Maybe they lied to me. They told me there was some kind of institution there.

And there were some lights at one time off in the distance, I feel like. Yeah. I'm like, oh, did somebody get out? Yeah. And we're just sitting alone in a drive-in theater on chairs watching Halloween. I went to the bus, but then couldn't remember the code. So now I'm just stuck in the dark. And I ran back to the guys. Yeah. It was pretty fun. See, now, if you weren't watching Halloween at the movie theater-

not remembering the code, not a big deal. But you've just watched a slasher film and now you're like, now you're freaking out. Just like those movies? I think that's what you like. That's what's fun. That's the fun of it. But you don't get scared of the dark at all? No, I do. Okay. That's

So what are we doing here? Well, that's what I'm saying. Probably because of things I've watched. Now it's added. So like if you wouldn't have watched. I think people are just scared of the dark. You're scared of what you can't see. Yeah, the dark is scary. People always act like you shouldn't be afraid of it. And I'm like, nah.

Yeah. It's the dark. It's scary. Any scary movie, it becomes less scary to me once you actually see the thing. Yeah. Right? It's the not seeing it. It's a shadow moving by. That's the scariest. Yeah. And then you finally see it and you're like, oh, it's a little disappointing. Yeah. That's why Jaws was so- Yeah, because you never saw it until the end, right? Yeah.

It's the build up. So it's okay to spoil Jaws but not Family Man? Jaws is... It's 1975. I mean, Family Man was 1995. Yeah, but Family Man would be a movie people would have missed. Jaws is like one that...

No one's probably missed. Okay. And I just think with the family thing, I just think you could have said it gets an alternative universe and you said the other thing. And then you just, at the end, you're like, and the color is blue. And you're like, well, I don't know if you need to say the end.

But no, that's good. What about the- I would ruin Jaws 2. I bet a lot of people haven't seen that. Okay, okay. Yeah, a couple of sharks probably. Yeah. What about the Rob Zombie version of Halloween? It was the first one he redid. Apparently 2 was terrible, but I saw the first one. I have a story about that. Okay. We were supposed to go see it. We were in New York, and-

It was like me, Louis, Big J, Soder. Like, it was a bunch of us. And so we're like...

Jay was like, Rob Zombie was, it was the first like screening of it. And so, uh, Rob Zombie was in like a diner nearby. They're eating or something. And Jay kind of knew him or something. And so Jay tells, he's like, go get in line and like to get the tickets. And I was like, all right, so I'm in line. I'm waiting. They go do whatever they come back. And, uh,

I'm just standing there like, all right, how's it? You got the tickets? I was like, well, I'm waiting for them. And I was in the line with people that already have tickets, so we didn't get to go. I mean, it was the most excited Jay was to go see this movie. Wow. And you ruined it. And I ruined it. And Jay still has my favorite joke. I might have said on this. When he goes, he goes, did you see the Hills Have Eyes?

And I was like, no. He goes, well, I wish he all had hands and they'd give me my money back. And I think about it. I don't know if he ever did it on stage. It was just a joke. And then this is what I love about comedy. And it's almost this shows you what a comic's brain goes through. He said that. I go, you didn't like it? He goes, no, I loved it. But it's just about the joke is too good. He has no emotion. He loves that movie. And it's almost like I learned something about comedy when he said that.

Because you just learn that like, oh, you're not attached to. Yeah. You're like, yeah, I'm just like. It's just funny. I was just funny. I was like, I just said the funniest thing. Well, that's what I say is it's like, I seem like I complain about stuff all the time, but I'm not really complaining. I'm just, that's my way of joking about stuff. Yeah, yeah. It's like, if I go home and I visit my parents and I make fun of the restaurant, they're like, oh, you think you're too good for this place now, huh? And I'm like, no, I would have always made fun of this place.

Yeah. It's got nothing to do with the place. No, yeah. You're like, I still come here. Yeah. I love this. Yeah. I love this food. Yeah, yeah. That's how you can't make fun of stuff that you're actually currently doing. Yeah. Like they, yeah, that you go eat. I still go eat, you know, even though I'm eating better, I still, I mean, I'm still figure out how to get McDonald's. Yeah. And I will always figure out how to get McDonald's. I drink enough diet sodas.

I'm not going to stop. I love it. That's another joke I had something about. I got to remember that. I'm not going to say that. But it's... I love your passion for it. It's like the way people talk about their children. I'm never going to stop. I'm always going to love it. Yeah, it's like you're... You find... I like gummy bears and all this. People give them to me after shows and they're always like, I know you're unhealthy. Don't worry. I'll find a time. I'm not going to let this leave my life. I'm just like... I'm not...

You know, I was eating an entire bag every night and then ice cream. And then like, it was wild. I see old pictures too. Like now it gets worse and worse. Like you're like, golly. Oh yeah. I know exactly what you mean. Yeah. I mean, I used to drink and I used to like, think about how I would be drinking my whole life. I've not drank in 10 years, but I'm like, I remember I was waiting tables and a guy told me he,

just became a diabetic and he's not able to drink anymore. And it made me sad that he couldn't drink anymore. Yeah. Not that he was diabetic or that he couldn't drink anymore. And I, like, I thought about myself being like, what would it be like if I couldn't drink anymore? Like my whole life was planned around drinking. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the, that, and that's the hardest part to kick. And that goes with food too. And,

uh, food was, I probably had more, I probably had a big problem with food more than I realized, but it was like eating. That's the hardest part. Food and you rat your life is when your life, your life shouldn't be around one thing. And it's hard. You realize that like, it shouldn't be dictated by whatever, you know, either the bad thing. Cause it's like, you're just like addicted. Like, you're like, well, I have to have like,

And I could go eat McDonald's right now. Yeah. I don't think I'll ever get where you like. You know, a lot of people would be like, I couldn't eat McDonald's anymore. I can eat it every second of every day. I've not eaten McDonald's. I couldn't even tell you the last time I had McDonald's. I like a morning time hash brown from McDonald's. You just don't like McDonald's? Nah. We've got Chick-fil-A on the road before. Chick-fil-A I like. Chick-fil-A you can tolerate? I will do Hardee's Breakfast.

I like an egg and cheese. What's your, like, fast food? I like Chick-fil-A, egg and cheese, Hardee's. You don't eat fast food lunch? I try to not do it, no. Just for, to be healthy? Yeah, I mean, I'll do Moe's.

Yeah. I'm like a Moe's. Welcome to Moe's. Yeah, welcome to Moe's. I like that. So you're not a big fast food guy. No. You would think. But I will. You're a big chain guy. You know, it's like, no. But I will do stupid things like go to the truck stop and be like, oh, you got a chicken sandwich back there? Yeah, I'll have one of those. Yeah, yeah. Those are great. We go to Love's or something. You're like, yeah, this is pretty good. Yeah. We went somewhere and had, maybe it was in, it was a chicken sandwich store.

It was somewhere, and they were like, you have to have this chicken sandwich. Oh, Abigail. We went over where our bus is here in Nashville. We're night train. The bus is... There's a gas station. I forget where you get...

But there's a gas station that she's like, or they have something. I think it's a gas station. They have these chicken sandwiches in there, and they're unbelievable. Yeah, I mean, the gas station by your house, where my exit I get off of, it's loaded with stuff. Fried chicken, hamburgers. I mean, I was really tempted in there, too. I like that stuff, too. Yeah. I like gas. I mean, you just wish you could eat it.

You just, it's, that's, that's the brutal part. You just look at it and go, God. But that's the hard part is, you know, you could. You could. You could. You could. I had a hot. You just got to know that. So you don't know what your good feels like. That's what I've learned. I had a loves hot dog, all beef. I burped it up for three days. I would not digest. Yeah. Worth it? That day it was worth it. But I was like, I kind of wish I had not eaten. That's the trick with everything. You gotta, you gotta think about the other days and not in the moment, but it's hard.

Yeah. So psychologists have looked at why we like horror movies. And they say that it raises, it's called excitation transfer theory. It raises arousal and excitement and fear, builds up tension. And then once it's over, there's a euphoric relief. Like, ah, I did it. I survived. I made it. So the release, they say, is why people...

enjoy horror movies. That feeling. That's why people come to my comedy shows. Ah, it's over. I made it. I think if you would have asked me why people like it, I would have said what you said without using those big words. Yeah. So I'm glad I went to a science lab. I'm glad I made it all the way up there and they go, let's study it. Why do people like this?

And they go, I don't know. You think it's because it's exciting, tense, and then when you're done, you're like, whoa, that was crazy. I think this is probably the beginning stages of learning how to control people with fear. That's what those scientists are doing. Like when you're in your internship, you're studying horror movies. Yeah. And then you graduate. Yeah. They're pretty high up there now. Yeah. Yes, they are. Well, they've done clinical studies that say that horror movies can actually be therapeutic.

for people with anxiety or trauma. Recent studies show that people who are distressed about COVID-19 were less distressed about movies and felt more prepared for apocalyptic world that we may be living in. How many studies, man? I know. There's just so many studies. You tired of being scared of this? Let's get you scared of something else, huh? Yeah, yeah. That's like the pain you feel. Like you just want to feel the pain focused.

There's a joke that I saw. There's a joke, Dove Davidoff has a joke called the love drug and it's on YouTube. And I believe it's beeped. It's not clean. So saying that, but I mean, one of the best jokes I've ever heard. About love being a drug? Yeah. Okay, I've heard that joke. Yeah. It's a great bit. I honestly think, I mean, it was one of the best ones I've ever heard. Everything about it was like just so good.

So how many of you can do it? But I think it's beeped. You know, if you're an adult, you watch it first if you want to. There's a lot of horror. Or it's like major pain, you know, where he's like, you want to share a little trick? Take your mind off that pain? And then he snaps his finger. You remember that? Yeah, yeah. There's an episode of House where the doctor, House, can't, his brain is hurting so bad that he can't perform surgery. So he takes a hammer and just breaks his hand. Wow. So that his body would focus on the hand so he could perform the surgery.

Maybe do another bodyguard. Yeah. Your foot, maybe. Yeah. I think he just had to direct it. Why would they, yeah, or just get another surgeon in there? He's the only one that could do it. He's the best in the world. That's the whole point of the show. Well, he's not doing that good if he can't even. He's a pill addict. He's got a lot going on. There we go. Yeah. Yeah. Classic. That's how it starts. Yeah.

That's how I got off the meds. Yeah. He's the best in the world that's like, he's a little loose. He's half in, half out. But you still want him. And he just walks into a door. Yeah, he does do that. Yeah. There's a lot of horror movies that were based somewhat off of real stuff. A couple that surprised me here. Child's Play with Chucky. That's based off a story about a guy in...

who claimed that one of his family servants placed a voodoo curse on his childhood toy, Robert the doll. And the doll would mysteriously move from room to room, knock furniture over and conduct conversations with this guy. Then he left it in the attic. And then when he died in 1974, the new boners moved in and they also claimed mysterious activities would happen connected to the doll. Now the doll is in display at the custom house, an old post office in Key West, Florida.

Wow. That's wild. Sounds like the servant was messing with them. I heard some story about people bought a dollhouse from a, I don't know, a thrift store or whatever. And it was like the dollhouse was like furniture would move itself around inside. And they thought that the dollhouse was haunted. So they took it out and they burned it. And then a couple of days later, their house burned down. Oh, wow. Yeah. Wow.

That's interesting. Yeah, I don't. That's better than what I just read. That's the thing. It is. You talk about ghosts and people are like, I don't believe in it. It's fun. There is so much stuff that you're like, God, that's weird. Yeah. And you're like, maybe it's not true. Maybe you got exaggerated. Maybe you got blah, blah, blah. And it could all end up being that kind of thing. Maybe the fire from the dollhouse got out of control, burned their house down. They go, when did it burn down? They go, while that one was burning. Yeah. We had a lot of straw. Yeah. Why didn't you tell us that? Yeah. Move it away a little bit.

Uh, this one's brought nightmare on Elm street based on the true story. Um, so there were some immigrants from Asia that reportedly died during their nightmares and the deaths were never explained even after they did autopsy. And it was reported that one of the men did everything he could to stay awake for ended up, ended up being six or seven days, despite his family's insistence that he needed to sleep to a

But then he kept staying awake. He finally fell asleep, and his family was awakened to the sound of his screaming. When they got to him, he was already dead. Wow. It's kind of freaky. Mm-hmm. Did they say how he died? They did autopsy. They couldn't explain the cause of death. I don't know. Yeah. That's terrifying. Yeah. So think about that dusty night when you go to sleep. Well, it's like, if I got to just stay awake, I might as well just die. Do you know what I mean? Yeah.

Like if I got to stay awake for the rest of my life, just go ahead. Well, you would die. Would you then just be like, I'm going to climb Mount Everest? Oh, maybe so. Yeah, might as well do something. Like what if you do like, it's like if that kind of thing, what if they were like, all right, well, you know what I'm going to do instead of, I'm not going to go sleep in my room. I'm going to go climb a mountain with a large group of people. Because it's like, you know, you have to sleep outside.

Like, wouldn't that help? It's like maybe the bedroom. Well, the bedroom is like maybe the thing that's, if you have these night terrors, you're like, well, what if I go sleep outside? Oh, yeah. And then you're on the ground. And it's like maybe. But he'll still get you in your dreams. I know, but like it's, but if you go climb Mount Everest, you're just like. Sorry. You're cold. Maybe that guy should have said a prayer. That's a good one. I don't know. Yeah, he didn't say. He may have.

Here's a few spooky stories that are real. Since 2007, feet have been washing up on shore in Canada and Northwest, Pacific Northwest of the United States with feet in shoes, no body. There's been like 23 of them that have washed up. So they're speculating what's going on here. And...

Some people think it came from the tsunami, the really bad one that happened in Asia, because all the shoes were manufactured before 2004. Some people think maybe people jumped to their death. It's feet in the shoes. Yeah. Yeah. And they wash up on shore. And they've been gradually happening for years now. The latest one I read says that they think now it was people who committed suicide, jumped off a bridge or something like that.

And, um, and then fish or whatever, eat them. The shoes nowadays are made are much more durable than shoes of the past and they don't decompose. Is that the correct word? So therefore that's why you're now finding it in the past. The shoes would decompose in the fish would eat the feet or whatever. Wow. But that's just one theory.

That seems like it makes sense. You think this could be a little bit of a new story, probably bigger than just you reading it? Yeah. How is not anybody like,

Let's talk about this for a little bit. Well, there are stories out there, and it's gone over 15, 20 years. Yeah, it's a long story. When it says severed, though, are they cut, or can they not tell how they were detached? It looks like, well, if a fish probably ate them over time. So the fish were eating the bodies and just not able to get into the shoe? We always think, what about an airplane? That was thrown out, too. Even that Malaysian flight. But it happened, I think, before that. Yeah. Oh, okay.

But yeah, it could be an airplane crash or something. Yeah, that would make sense. I feel like it's solved. I believe all that. You think it's all of it? We did it. Yeah, I think it makes the most sense. If the shoes are not, yeah, eventually it would just be. Can you do DNA on the thing to find out who the people were? That's what they've been doing. They've matched a bunch of them. They found a pair in 2011 that was from a woman that went missing in 1987. Wow.

So it took years and years and years for that to run shop. Yeah. Well, there you go. But she went missing, but they don't know if she was dead. Well, now they have a pretty good idea. Yeah. Well, she's out there with no feet. Or she's shorter. But maybe, no, I mean that maybe she was alive for a long time and she was just killed. Right. Yeah. Don't know when she died. Yeah. One was matched to a local fisherman who had gone missing in 1987. Wow.

So they've been able to match some of them with DNA. Interesting. So they have proven it, that it's people that are... So it does make sense that you're like, yeah, this is what it is. But how did they disappear? Could it be a serial killer? Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, he was a fisherman that, I don't know, his boat, he got out on sea and then blah, blah, and didn't make it or something. Yeah. Once belonged to a woman who had jumped off a bridge. I just feel like there would be stuff in the ocean that could get inside the shoe and eat the feet.

Like just because the feet wouldn't break, the shoes wouldn't break down. I feel like there's. They're tied really tight. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's that big garbage pail, you know, out in the ocean that's swirling size of Texas or something. Maybe they get, I don't know how many feet are in there.

That's true. Oh, really? That's rough to think about. The size of Texas? We talked about it on the oceans episode. It was something like the size of Texas or Alaska. It was something crazy. Where is it at? The great Pacific garbage. The Pacific Ocean. Yeah. Let's build an island on that thing.

And it kind of just swirls, so it kind of stays in place. I mean, that picture with that boat shows it a little bit bigger than my front yard. But I think overall, is it like the size of a... I think they count it where there has to be like a certain proportion of plastic in an area. So it doesn't look like that thick, the size of Texas. But there is an area that big where there's a bunch in it.

And that's just where they dump the trash or it just ends up being there? I think that's part of where it ends up just based on the currents of the ocean. It's kind of the world's lost and found. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I think we should build something. They should let you go. Yeah, you should go out there and you get to look for your belongings. First come, first serve. Yep. Finders keepers. I think it floats from everywhere, like Asia, US, and it kind of gets caught in a current. Well, there it is and just doesn't move. Mm-hmm.

We each have our own. They've got their own. My mistake. But I guess all together. Why even do a landfill if we can just do that? Yeah, why don't they go? They don't go get it? I think they're trying. There have been all kinds of efforts to make a small... Yeah, I think on the Oceans episode we talked about there's guys who have proposals like a big net to try to...

pull it all in. I say we pull it down, put a net over it, let it go to the bottom. So you want to start taking yours to the ocean? Yeah. I say, why not? Yeah. Stop paying that garbage guy. Yeah. You get off the airplane at Destin, you got your slippers on, your trash bag. Yes. Yeah. You just go out there and just,

Shake your bag. Yeah. Yeah, you got to go out a certain distance. Walk out your feet. Yeah, it's up to your waist and dump it. Yeah. Go back through Southwest, get your ticket, go home. Yeah. I do it once a month, take my trash out to the ocean. I do the Gulf of Mexico. We've kind of given up on that to begin with. Yeah. It's already brown. Yeah. Well, maybe we go on out to the Pacific Ocean or whatever. Whatever the one near us is. Atlantic. Both of them.

Atlanta. Yeah. I think they're both near us, right? We're way closer, yeah. You're talking about near, literally, physically national. You're talking about the United States? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, we got a few decisions. Yeah, we got a couple, yeah. I would think the Gulf of Mexico, though, it's a little tighter in there. Mm-hmm. But if you just use the entire Gulf of Mexico, and then we just agree to grow. And that would ruin Panama City Beach. It would. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

here's when that's where people go those are the people that would throw trash in yeah yeah the panama city right crowd for sure would be that yeah they'd be like would you do it you're like yeah yeah of course i have done it yeah yeah exactly they're like wood we all go yeah that was our big vacation yeah go for mexico

There's a woman, 67-year-old woman, living in St. Petersburg, Mary Reeser. And she didn't, a couple of days, nobody had seen her. So they finally went in her house and all they found was a pile of ashes of her body.

Nothing else had been burned. Nothing else was disturbed. It's just a big pile of ashes. Oh, I used to love this kind of Unsolved Mysteries, spontaneous combustion stuff. This is from Unsolved Mysteries, yeah. Yeah, I used to get into that. I had a bunch of books on mysteries and Bermuda Triangle, and I love that kind of stuff. Yeah, Bermuda Triangle, we don't hear about it. It was a big deal when I was a kid. Oh, yeah. Bermuda Triangle, I mean, it is funny for the kids –

that now i don't think they would ever hear about it and it was like you better not go i mean yeah i mean this is probably what started me liking conspiracies i mean bermuda triangle stuff is uh i remember reading books about it as a kid i was like this is unbelievable yeah isn't it just like the weather something like the weather there is like

A lot of hurricanes, a lot of like, you know. That's probably how they want you to think about it. I think, yeah. Didn't we talk about it once? We've talked about it a little bit. I mean, I think it was mostly –

Back in boats and ships when the weather would be bad. Some planes, supposedly. Based on this map, you would think that Miami might be like, well, we're playing a role in this, too. Let's not give it all to Bermuda here. Or maybe San Juan is like, well, listen. You should call it the San Juan triangle. Yeah, sure. Bermuda's a part. No, it's the opposite. Bermuda's like, why do we have to take all the blame? Throw Miami and San Juan in there. Nobody wants to come to Bermuda because of the triangle.

Yeah. Yeah. That's a good way of thinking about it. Yeah. They're like, I'd like to get to Bermuda, but can we go around the triangle? I'll say based on this map, if you're flying from DC to Puerto Rico, you're going to fly right over that triangle. You have to. Yeah. Well, that's one little Island in Puerto Rico. But maybe they go around it. But even if, no matter where you go, you'd have to fly over it. Well, unless you went over Miami. I'd go to Shreveport and then connect a connecting flight. Take a bus. Yeah.

It is funny though. Was the Bermuda Triangle a big deal when you were a kid? I remember hearing about it. I just remember being like,

It was just like we all agreed not to go. Right. It was that big. Not that we could have afforded to go to Bermuda or Miami, but it's... But you couldn't look things up. So you just hear about the Bermuda Triangle and you're like, what? So what happens there? People just go missing? The boats crash, the planes crash. Okay. I think some of them just disappear. Mm-hmm.

Interesting. There's no cell reception out there now? I think that's why it's went away. There were no cells back then. It's fine. There was no cell phones back then. Yeah, there was no cell phones back then. It was just a lot of stuff. I think it's a lot of weather. I mean, you got to think hurricanes would probably really form out there. They would lose radio signal and couldn't tell if they were going up or down. But it was a fun time.

I'm sad you didn't live through the Bermuda Triangle. It was a golden age. It was a golden age of just like, man, this is like a big problem. Yeah. And spontaneous combustion. I remember hearing about that stuff too a bit. And that's like you just blow up. Yeah, like this lady here. She just catches on fire. For no reason. Yeah. We had some of that stuff, my generation, I think. Like 9-11.

That's not what he talks about. That's what he cares to try. I know we had real stuff, dude. We lost our innocence young, my general. Yeah, by the time you were a kid, there was real stuff. I was just saying, yeah, the world was on fire. We didn't have time to play around with Bermuda Triangle. You have 9-11. I was the age where that was we try to go in the workforce.

I was the age where, that's why the Oregon Trail generation, we were a unique generation of just, that was the exact age of like, we were supposed to be going, you're either getting out of college, you're going to get jobs. I would have been, you know, I thought about joining the military and I would have been in my fourth year when 9-11 happened. I was joining the army. I would have been in bootcamp when 9-11 happened. Yeah.

So it's like we, like, you know. You two together on the front lines? Yeah. We just stopped it. Yeah. Yeah, well, that's true. I would have been a rookie coming in. You might have trained me. You'd been a rookie. Yeah, you might have trained me. Might have trained him. I don't know about this guy. Yeah. We can cut your hair. Yeah, yeah. You had Slender Man.

Slenderman was kind of after me. Okay. All right. I really think, yeah, 9-11 happening at such a formative age, like it affects, it affected a lot. It does, but we're talking about like, I know you're- Bloody Mary was big when I was a kid. Yeah, Bloody Mary was big for us. That kind of stuff. Yeah. So you're comparing Bermuda Triangle to 9-11 is basically what you're doing. Yeah.

We're talking about fun, like kind of weird conspiracy kind of stuff. And you're like 9-11. I'm trying to defend my generation out here, dude. Oh, we had World War II. Okay. Well, that's all right. I guess so. That's not what we meant. You would have Blair Witch. Blair Witch. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. The ring. Yeah. That stuff was big when I was growing up. Blair Witch, everybody thought it was real.

Yeah. I mean, by the time you were coming along, people were like debunking everything. Right. So they were like on the internet. So if we're like all the Bermuda Triangle is crazy, like your generation could look it up. Your own Snopes. Oh no, it's just weather.

Well, my generation was also watching videos of like beheadings and stuff. Oh, yeah. When we were young. We just thought you just watch the most horrific stuff on the internet. So you were just jaded. You watch that? Kids my age. 100%. We had internet. You go to the family computer. Let's just find the most horrific stuff you can watch. And that's what it was. What is wrong with you? We would have to get a DVD. I don't know. Or a VHS of many faces of death. Yeah. That was it. I don't think I never saw one, but.

It was, you would hear about them. Yeah. Kids would have the, yeah, faces of death. Or like bum fights or something like that. Crazy. I had a friend that had a DVD of that. It's too much. Right. Yeah. I never watched it. I was like, I don't want to watch this stuff. I didn't like it either. Well, there's friends over at a friend's house and you're like, y'all want to watch this? And you're all, and none of you are really enjoying it, but you're just kind of looking at it. Like, I don't want to be the one coward in the group. Yeah. Yeah. Then you go play Guitar Hero. Says you do. Yeah. You do a lot of stuff, Aaron. Yeah.

Preparing you for Notre Dame. I don't know what college is going to bring, so I might as well see it all. Yeah. Well, anyway, this woman spontaneously can butt. They think maybe she took sleeping pills. She was known for that. They think maybe she was so passed out and she smoked a cigarette that somehow it fell on her nightgown. They said she was a kind of large woman. They said fat can burn for a long time. And they think maybe she just burned up. She never felt, yeah.

No stop, drop, and roll. No. He's like, that rash is itching again. Well, two to go. You've already done the stop. Stop part's there. Right, right, right. You've already dropped two. Drop part's there.

But you're missing maybe the most important part. Which is the roll. The roll around, yeah. The roll is what we're getting to. Yeah, without the roll, stopping and dropping doesn't do much for you. Doesn't do anything. No. I'd actually say don't do those if you're not going to do the roll. Yeah, yeah. If you're not going to follow through. If you're not going to follow, if you're not going to get to the roll, I'd stay up. Just keep on your feet. Yeah. Stay up, run.

Yeah. There's a woman who... I also like that the article says she was known for taking sleeping pills. That made me laugh too. Like known around town. They knew. They knew. Everybody knew. Mary Reese, are you talking about the sleeping pill lady? Yeah. What sleeping... Yeah, who... Even you take sleeping pills, I just don't know how... You could take enough that you would ever talk about it openly, publicly. Like, you know...

She's doing so many. They're like, call Mary Race. They're like, you know she's already took those pills. She'll be here Tuesday. She sleeps the weekend away. Yeah, they said as she was known user of sleeping pills, they hypothesized she had fallen unconscious while smoking and set fire to her nightclothes. That's got to be tough to hear that. Just her loved ones, you know, like the cause of death. They determined she was just so fat that she caught on fire.

I don't think you're... They probably wouldn't word it like that. I think you're like...

They're like, Mary? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You talking about that Mary? I think there's one guy that called it in the pool. Yeah. He goes, I called that. Yeah. And he wins all the money. We knew it happened. You called that she would set on fire. Spontaneously combust. Spontaneously combust. And he goes, look at it. I said, she's going to fall asleep on those sleeping pills one day. She's going to light herself on fire with that cigarette. We're going to find her ashes. Yeah.

That sounds like someone, like her dad. If you don't get healthy, Mary, what's her name? Mary Reeser. Mary Reeser. Mary Reeser? Mary Reeser, you're going to turn into a cigarette one day. Mary Reeser, I tell you, if you don't get healthy, you're going to light one of those cigarettes on fire. You're going to fall asleep. Take all those pills. We're going to find a bunch of ashes in here. He'd be like, I thought the house would also burn. I was surprised that happened. That part did bad for me. Yeah.

I'll do a couple more. There's a woman who her coworker was murdered and then she started having dreams where the, where the murder victim came to her in her dreams and told her who did it and explain how it happened. And then her husband overheard her like in her sleep telling all this stuff. So he finally encouraged her, go to the police and tell them. So she goes to the police, tells them. And at first they're very skeptical, but then she has so much detail that only, you know, how would they know this? How would she know this?

So they finally started looking into it. The guy who she said killed her and they found the victim's jewelry on that guy's wife that he'd given her. And he finally confessed to the murder. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. It's tough to get out of it at that point. Yeah. When your wife has the jewelry of the person that you killed. Yeah. Yeah. Man. So apparently she visioned her, visit her in her dreams. Yeah. That's interesting. Yeah.

Where'd you get, you know, it's like, I mean, golly, his wife too. Like everything's nice. Yeah. She's like, Harold, you gave me this dead woman's necklace. That's Mary Reese's necklace. She wasn't dead when I got it. What? Yeah. I'm keeping the necklace. You can go to jail. Some Russian hikers that were all found dead in the desert.

In the woods. And they had... They could tell they had cut their way out of their sleep... Or their tent. Like, they were trying to escape their tent. They were all cut up. One of them was missing a tongue. Kind of mutilated. And they're like, what happened to all these guys that made them, like, run from inside their tent? And there's different speculation about what it was that happened. But...

A documentary filmmaker presented a theory about a phenomenon called infrasound. It's basically where it's a tone made by the wind that causes you to go crazy and delusional. And they've tested this on people before. It's like a low infrared, not infrared, but whatever, where you can't really hear it, but it still affects your brain. It makes you go crazy. So they think... That's a real thing? Can you look up infrasound? Yeah.

Yeah, there's all kind of things they talk about. It's been what? Well, things where they talk about being able to even like go into, you know, zap into people's brains and make them think they're hearing voices. It's an extreme bass sound that produces a range of bizarre effects in people, including anxiety, sorrow, and chills. Yeah. Those are the ones you don't want. Yeah. Yeah.

So that's what you get from watching horror movies. I mean, how is this stuff not just talked about a lot more openly? I think, I don't know how serious they took this documentary guy. I looked up an article last night and said, they probably were just an avalanche killed them and they heard it coming and they were just trying to get out of their tents. And then after they're all dead, animals eventually will come and shred you up, including eating your tongue.

Yeah, only half of it. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. No, my head tongue wasn't really that good. That's like, it is funny to say, you talk to that document guy, then you come in and say that, and you're like, oh. Just a no fun police thing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He goes, well, it's probably an ambulance, and then animals got him. You're like, oh, here we go.

It is interesting, though, that if there's only a half tongue left, like why would the animals not just finish? The animals were like, we're full and we'll find something else. I bet it's hard to get in there. Yeah. To get the whole thing. It's like the feet in the shoe. It's just, you know, that's enough. Especially, yeah, your mouth shut. And he seems like he didn't like it because everybody else had their tongue. So he probably was like, it's not that good. Maybe tongue's not good. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, we don't eat tongue a lot. Maybe they had had a... We ate beef tongue, right? Isn't that a thing? I think it's a thing, but I mean, we're not... You ain't going to Chili's and asking for the beef tongue. It's not made it that far. I think it's a specialty. Okay.

Imagine the Chili's song, though. You remember the Baby Back Rib song? What if they were doing cow tongues? My baby back. Yeah. Whatever. My big tongue tongue. Talking in tongues. At Chili's. Talking in tongues at Chili's. Baby back tongues.

Polak sisters, they were... That's just their last name. Oh, it was? Yeah. It's not a joke. Who are the Polaks? Why are they getting made fun of? I think it's Polish people. Derogatory term for Polish people. They might be the Pollock sisters.

Okay, that would have been much better. Yep, you're right. You are right. I apologize. That hat and wig is affecting you. Yeah, there you go. There you go. All right. We'll go find out Brian is Polak.

I hope I am at this point to try to save myself. Guys, I'm one of you. Come on. All right. The Pollock sisters, that makes much more sense. They both died and their parents then had two other little girls. And these little girls knew all the stuff that their older sisters knew. They knew their favorite toys. They knew all this stuff that...

about their previous childhood that there was no way they would know. So they think they were reincarnated and came back. Wow. As the two previous girls. So the two girls died? Yeah, the two little girls died, and then this couple had two more little girls, and they knew everything about the previous girls. They apparently grew up and correctly named all the dolls and stuffed animals that belonged to...

The older two daughters. And they have recurring nightmares about being run over by a car. That's how. Wow. That's pretty crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That is wild. And I'll end on this one. This is kind of a more upbeat. Yeah.

15 members of the Beatrice Westside Baptist Church were all known to be promptly on time for recital or choir practice. Known for their timeliness, but on this day, they were all running late, every single one of them, all for very different reasons, but not one of them was there on time when a natural gas leak caused the explosion of the church. Even Snopes says this is real. So, like, what happened to make all 15 people late?

Sounds like insurance fraud to me. Dusty just solved it. And this is Nebraska? Yeah. Yeah, that does sound...

Yeah, that is crazy. Intervention. I wanted to say God's intervention. Dusty wasn't going around. Yeah. Yeah. Could be that. Yeah. I mean, there's only 15 people going to this church. Yeah. Well, that's just the choir members. Oh. 15 members of the choir. So it's probably a big church. So a lot of people died. No, no, no. It was like when church wasn't in session, they were going there for practice. Maybe it was Sunday afternoon or another.

Another day of the week. So they all showed up late for different reasons. They said two women had car trouble. One woman had to iron her shirt last minute. Other had to help their kid with homework. They had to finish the end of a radio show. One had overslept it. I do think intervention. I do think that. You've changed your answer? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah, if it's a bigger church. I was thinking it was only these 15 people. So, yeah. You know, stuff happens sometimes that you...

And you ever, like, in a smaller scope, have you ever seen a wreck like that happens right before you and you're like, ran back in to go grab something? Exactly. Yeah. And then you're like, you know, it's kind of crazy. I think that's it. All right. All right, everybody. We did it. Happy, when's this coming? This week? This comes out this week. Happy Halloween. All right. Enjoy it.

Glad to be back. Thanks for all of you that have come to shows and stuff and everybody. We love it. We appreciate it. Where are you at this weekend? I'm off. I got to go do a private show, but besides, I'm the only one.

I'm at the Comedy Catch this weekend in Chattanooga. I've been going there for 15 years as an emcee and feature, and this weekend I'm headlining for the first time. Boom. There we go. Two shows Friday, two shows Saturday. Come help me make it work. Yeah. Boom. That's awesome. That's awesome. This weekend I will be at the Punchline in Atlanta, Georgia. October 28th through the 30th. Headlining all weekend. If you're in northern Georgia, come to Chattanooga, though.

You can go do both. There is a guy that's messaged. He's coming to my show one night and you're showing the other night. That's a good mix. You can go knock to Nate Lamb. I'm going to need him to compare the shows. Oh, and a lot of people, we asked last time what would, if we listened, if they saw all four of us, what would be called, you know? Yeah. And a lot of people said band.

Brian Aaron Dusty, Brian Aaron Nate Dusty. Oh, wow. That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. I've done the band. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty crazy. That's fun. Well, after you see them in Georgia, come on out to Irvine, California, where I'll be this weekend at the improv. Ooh.

And I do want to say yes. Thank you to all Nate Land fans. So many Nate Land people come to my shows now. It's so great. Yeah. It's so great. It's awesome. Yes. Everybody's wonderful. Yes. And yeah, Irvine's an awesome club. Yeah. My favorite club. I've only done a one nighter there, so I'm excited to do a weekend. All right. Yep. We love you all. Thank you. And we will see you next week. We will see you next week. Yeah. Like for real. Yeah. Yeah. We're here next week. Okay. All right. All right.
