I got a McDonald's hoodie on, which we've talked about on a calorie thing now, but I could eat one Happy Meal. McDonald's sent me free Happy Meals. Did they really? In this hoodie. That's a great hoodie. Yeah. What spurred them to do that? I have a joke. I'm a stand-up comedian, and I have a joke about McDonald's. And I have a special...

What the crazy question. Yeah. I mean, are you about the 10-year-old joke? No, it's my new special. I have a joke about not getting a Happy Meal. Oh, okay. You don't remember that? Oh, yeah. Fast forward to it. He hasn't seen your stuff. No. Yeah. So they want to make sure you are getting some Happy Meals now. They're making sure I'm getting Happy Meals. You are a Happy Meal now. I'm a Happy Meal now. You got to smile all the time. I get a Happy Meal. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So it was very, yeah, I was like, oh, it's been a dream come true for me to finally get something from McDonald's and to acknowledge my existence. So I was very happy. No hat today either. Feeling, you know, I don't know why. Different person. Looks good. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like a lot going on. What do you pair with a McDonald's hoodie? I don't know. I don't know. That's the hard part. You either go all out McDonald's or something plain. The Riddler. Yeah, get a Ronald McDonald wig. Yeah. Yeah.

You know? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Is he still around? Is he still being used? I don't think so. I think, yeah, I just saw a video with him. Oh, okay. Because McDonald's All-American. Okay. He was there. I mean, it's been a year and a half or two years ago, I guess, maybe, but we talked about him at the- Oh, right. Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. Yeah, the COVID. He was wearing a COVID mask. That's right. I just haven't seen him lately. We used to talk a lot. Yeah.

He's still around. He had COVID. I just love the idea you're pulling down your COVID mask to put a chicken nugget in it. Yeah, man. Well, thanks for the hoodie. Right after this, they're going to be like, hey, could you do the rest of this episode? This hoodie's blurred.

Some big money McDonald's. You guys don't agree though. You know, you don't agree with me, so it's okay. Yeah. I like McDonald's. Yeah. Yeah. But I get that. Hey, I shouldn't be doing, but they own Chipotle too. Do you know that? I did know that. Yeah. Yeah. Do you like Chipotle? Yeah. I don't hate them. You know what I mean? Right. I like Chipotle. When was the last time you had McDonald's?

It's been a long time. You know what I do like? I like a McDonald's breakfast hash brown. I have a great hash brown. I like that hash brown. I'm a big fan of that. I put ketchup on it. Okay. I love it. I love it. Best hash brown in the game, really. When I'm going through my, like if I'm going through like a I don't even care, I'm just eating everything I love phase, I'll get breakfast, two hash browns, and four ketchups.

And I'll put two ketchups on. That's a lot of ketchup per hash brown, man. I like enough ketchup that a person goes, it's a lot of ketchup. Yeah. Two of them on the, you know. How do you do it?

You just do half one. Oh, you're sitting down to eat this. This isn't in your lap in the car. I'd prefer to be at a table. For to settle in. Yeah. This is your, you're going through your, I don't care. I'm tired of trying to eat right or something. And you're kind of losing it phase. I don't do it all. I haven't done the breakfast super often, but.

When I'm going, usually if I'm eating something, I'm giving my Big Mac meal with a side filet of fish. You ever do Heinz 57 on a potato of any kind? I like that. I like Heinz 57. Like a baked potato or like a hash brown. You go to the huddle house, you get a patty mount, dip it in Heinz 57, mix it in with the hash browns a little bit. I like ketchup. See, I like ketchup on Waffle House hash browns. That's another one. I'll load it with some ketchup, and I love it. I love it.

I get ham in it. That's it. I've never had ketchup with breakfast. It feels like a later in the day thing to me. A lot of people do eggs. Welcome to the Bargett's. The Bargett's are about some ketchup. My dad puts it on everything. Steak? Oh, yeah. We're a big ketchup family. Yeah. We love ketchup. You like a Heinz ketchup or a Hunt's? Heinz. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. Does McDonald's still... For a while, they were doing the all-day breakfast, and I feel like that went away. It went away. A lot of these things quietly went away. You know? The dollar menu is basically gone now. Huh. Yeah. Yeah, but they just kind of phased it out. I used the dollar menu. But it's not what it was. Well, that's where my side sandwiches lived. Yeah, I know. Was the dollar menu. Yeah, yeah. That was the whole point of the dollar menu. Now it's $1.39, sometimes $2. Yeah, yeah. But that was the whole point of it, was to go like, I'll take...

Number one, no onions. And look at the McChicken. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would have thought the breakfast all day would have lasted, though. Seems like that would have been something people wanted.

They should do it. They'd still, I think, get rid of it early. They should just do it. I think there's been a compromise about we do it until noon. Yeah. And then we're done. Instead of 10 or 11. 10.30. 10.30. Yeah, that's early. I mean, I know I understand a lot of people going to work earlier their work by then, but if you think someone's going to lunch at 10.30 and getting McDonald's, I mean, a kid maybe. I mean, I'd like to know the inside studying of that.

But I think if you did, if you gave breakfast till noon and then have an overlap of, you know, say like 1030, we do start doing regular food too. And so then you only have an hour and a half in overlap. I think that's a solid, solid plan. And then bring it back after midnight.

Right? Because you're late night food. You want breakfast food late night sometimes. Yeah. Don't you agree? But I would be in the room going, I don't know if we have to do that. Yeah. After midnight, it's like people don't care what they're eating. Yeah. They just want to eat. You want to be open. You're drinking. You're going through the drive-thru. I mean, that's what they want to be open. Drinking in the drive-thru. Yeah. That's what Taco Bell is. I mean, they know that. They know what they are. Yeah. Yeah.

I stopped last night driving home from Huntsville. I was going to stop at the McDonald's, but the line was so long. I went next door to Jack's, which I don't even think we have those in Tennessee, do we? Not a Jack in the Box, a Jack's? Jack's. Yeah. I don't know if I've had Jack's.

Have you had one, Bestie? I have had it. My dad meets with his friends like every Tuesday at a Jack's. Oh, okay. Yeah. So it's here. Yeah. It's in Alabama. Oh. Yeah. And how was it? Yeah, it was pretty good. It's just a regular. It's not Jack in the Box bad. Yeah. Jack in the Box is garbage. Oh, I don't think it's garbage. You like it? Yeah. It is what it is.

They got a lot going on. They got tacos. I like drinking back. Yeah, I like that. Because then your side stuff can become a little fun. Oh, okay. So if you're like, you want a little, you know, I want to go and be like, look, I'm going to do my meat and potatoes, hamburger fries, Diet Coke. Yeah. And then. And some Pad Thai. Yeah. You can go crazy. What about a Fazoli's? You like that? I like Fazoli's. I'm pretty anti-Fazoli's. Wasn't that like Drew Maddox's? I always thought I heard his family. He played at Vanderbilt.

I don't know. I feel like you've asked that before here. I don't know. I thought for sure that Fazoli's was a failing business about to completely go under, and then they built a brand new one in a city that I went to. I like Fazoli's. I think it's a...

Drew Maddox, yeah. He played for Vanderbilt. He's a basketball coach at – I want to say CPA. Yeah, I want to say CPA. Christ Presbyterian Academy. But he played at Vanderbilt. And I thought I always heard like his family owned a Fazoli's. And I don't know why. That's like one of those things you just hear and who knows if that's true. A story like that's got to be true. A story like that's got to be true. Yeah. Yeah.

So, but it's, I always, I don't go into Fazoli's as much, but I definitely liked it because it was like, it's like kind of a fast food Italian place and you go there, they had great bread. I do like the bread at an Italian spot. Like a Pizza Hut breadstick. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah. Pizza Hut breadsticks are top notch.

Yeah, when you get appetizers for pizza, it's always just more pizza. Oh, yeah. But I like it. Yeah, dude. You go, I'll take the little bites of pizza and I'm going to order a pizza. Garlic knots, something like that. Yeah, I love a garlic. I used to work at Papa John's and you run that cheese bread through the oven, but you could also, you know, you could just, if you're working there, you just kind of make your own little cheese bread. You add some pepperonis, some green peppers, you know, you get it, you really mix it up. I loved it. Yeah.

I wouldn't put green peppers on it. I love green peppers. I love the sauce. It's all about the sauce. Like garlic sauce. No, I don't know if I'm a big garlic nut. Like, I think I like it. You know, the Papa John's garlic sauce. I don't know if I... Garlic butter? I'm talking about the marinara sauce. Oh, dude. You mean like the garlic butter? Yeah. Yeah. That's good. That's what made Papa John's. What's your meal when you don't like, you're like, I don't care. See what I had this morning. Yeah. No, I'll go Papa John's. I'll eat.

I'll eat a whole large pizza. Like, no problem. Yeah, yeah. I've been going to Old Chicago a lot. Old Chicago. Never heard of it. There's one here. Pizza? In Brentwood. Yeah, it's pizza. And they have great pizza. I mean, I like Domino's and Papa John's, too, but I'll go to Old Chicago. But, like, I'm saying, like, when you go eat, you know, when you're, you know, when you're in a, you're like, I'm just going to.

be i'm not gonna put a stop to it i'm gonna eat everything my brain tells me oh yeah it's like i mean i could go mcdonald's or if i go pizza or you know well i'll eat and then on the way home and stop at the gas station and then get a bunch of stuff at the gas station so you you would do it you double up with like the the little food there like those little donuts candy and what i mean whatever yeah

I feel like if it's pizza for me, I want to go good pizza, right? Like I like to go to a spot that's got a, that's got a, you know. Well, I think that's why like old Chicago, it's like, it's meet me in the middle of good pizza and like a chain. Oh yeah. It's like kind of being like, all right.

It's like... You don't feel like complete trash in there, but... Yeah, you go sit there and eat, but it's like, I mean, I could eat some tonight. There's a spot in McMinnville called Begonia's, and they really hook up a pizza. I went there about closing time the other day, and it felt like they rushed it. But it's a hot spot for pizza. McMinnville is not the culinary...

capital of the world yes they got a good barbecue place there they do have a pretty good barbecue place coop coop something river barbecue they don't have chicken barbecue though oh gosh yeah there is a place there's a barbecue place there right and i went there and i ate and i've been there a bunch of times and i go i asked the guy the waiter i go uh

I went there with Connor one time and this guy's real tall and he asked Connor, did he have a girlfriend? He goes, I bet you get a lot of chicks. And it was like, it's like really weird. It's like, just take it easy, dude. You're our waiter. And I go, hey, you don't have barbecue chicken? He's like-

He said, I never heard of barbecue chicken. I was like, I said to him, I go, really? On a pizza? No, no, no. Just- In general. In a barbecue restaurant. Just barbecue chicken. He goes, I never heard of barbecue chicken. And I could not believe it. I mean, it was blowing my mind that this guy had never heard of barbecue chicken. And then the booth behind me asked the same, he goes, you guys don't have barbecue chicken? He goes, why is everybody asking about barbecue chicken today? Yeah.

And it's like, I would imagine you get asked that every single day. Yeah. I mean-

If you could do, you know, California Pizza Kitchen, they have a good, their barbecue chicken pizza. I get no onions. I like that. It's great. Yeah, I like the California pizza chicken. Yeah, they got a good pizza. I went with you there when you lived in Queens. Yeah, that's right. I go to New York, I go, there's a California Pizza Kitchen over here. Local brand. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they have a great pizza. If I could go, like, I was thinking, like, Last Mill.

So you're a serial killer on death row. You get anything you want. Yeah. Have we done a last move on this? Yeah. I mean, I might... You want to mix it up, you know. How much do you get? I think... I don't know if there's a limit. Yeah, I mean, I would think they would... Some of them have gotten a lot. A lot of stuff. Do you think you'd really have an appetite, though, if you knew you were about to die? I think that's when you have the biggest appetite. Because you know you're not going to have to live with it. You know, I can...

I'm not going to have a stomach ache later. Yeah, but I mean, you got to be just your stomach's in knots. Yeah. Like, you know what I mean? You're like, I'll just take some. I can't even eat. Or what if you feel like you deserve it maybe and you're like, you're at peace with it? What if you're like, they won't electrocute me until I finish my meal, so just keep ordering food. Yeah, just keep it. Eat slowly. Timothy McVeigh, his meal was two pints of chocolate chip ice cream. Yeah, see, I could see something like that because you're just –

Ice cream, you're like, I can get ice cream. Yeah. I can get it down. No worries about diabetes now. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Medium rare. This is Ted Bundy. Steak, eggs over easy, toast, hash browns, milk, coffee, juice. It's a nice meal. I like that meal. I'm having a soda in there, you know? Saddam Hussein.

Boiled chicken and rice, several cups of hot water laced with honey. That's a pretty depressing last meal. That's how I eat every day. Yeah. We want to wash this down with Saddam. Give me some hot water laced with honey. Yeah, that seems. That's crazy that they gave him the last meal. Like, you didn't even think about that. I never thought about that. Not even grilled chicken, boiled. Huh. The worst way to cook it. Yeah.

He's like, something easy. I've done enough. Yeah, I've done enough. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm going to go. I think I'm going to McDonald's. I'm going to go McDonald's. I'm going to go. What was that one? Which one? Yeah, the woman. Oh, this is the girl that...

What's-her-face played in that movie Monster. Eileen Wuornos, she declined a final meal, but instead asked for a single cup of coffee. See, I could see something like that. Because, I mean, you could also, yeah, she's probably like, it's hard, but then you're like, I just want a good taste. Like, I would like a diet, like it'd be some kind of, maybe a McDonald's Diet Coke. Like, that's going to even mean more. That's like...

oh this is so good man you know and you're just like yeah imagine you get this coffee and it's like uh not good coffee you're like oh this is my last option here and you brought like even like starbucks right starbucks i think has a good coffee if you get it at the right time a lot of times it tastes burnt but sometimes i'll get it and i'll be like that's delicious

Yeah, I think I've got to go McDonald's. I'm going to – I'll be like number one. I'd probably go number one, a filet of fish. But I'd really check the sandwiches. I'd do that even now. I mean, I eat like a last minute. Yeah, I would do –

My last meal, I think I would have McDonald's. But even now, when I get a big mac and flake fish, I'll check them before. I can fill the bun using a flake fish to try to be like, which one's...

Because I don't want to finish the Big Mac and then get to play a fish and it's like not good. You want your last thing at least to be good. So if I feel one's going to be worse than the other, I'll start with the – I don't throw it away, but I'm going to eat it. Right. But I'm going to at least – I'm going to clock in and get the job done on one, and then I'm going to enjoy the other one. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

And then fries, I'd ask for a lot of hot mustard. Yeah. I'd ask for a lot of hot mustard. I'd probably get a cheeseburger in there too, no onions. And I'd ask for a lot of hot mustard and ketchup. And I'd ask for my own bottle of ketchup, Heinz, unopened, warm. Just give me my own bottle of ketchup. And I don't even want to talk to anybody about ketchup. I don't want you coming in. Right. I don't want to be like, no one's allowed to say, man, he used a lot of ketchup. When you write this up and people are looking on websites –

Maybe then I would say you're allowed to write he used a crazy amount of ketchup. I'd say that after. Yeah. I might go McDonald's though. I think I might throw some Crystal Burgers in there because I really like the taste of Crystal Burgers. They never make me feel good.

We would. But I don't have to worry about that. Yeah. Yeah, you don't want to be feeling good when you're about to die. Yeah, but I love the taste of a bag of Crystal Burgers. We're a big White Castle family because Louisville. And so we never, they won't even eat, no one eats Crystal. It's all White Castle. I didn't even know about White Castle. I wouldn't mind White Castle or, you know, like that. No onions again. They throw onions on. Mm-hmm.

I'd say no onions. I like a nice white. Yeah. And be like, give me like 40 of them. Yeah. But you got to really, yeah, you have to go. I think you would have to surprise the person with the last meal. Like we're going to give you a last meal. You might be about to go or you might be six months going. Yeah. But, you know. It's like you don't know until you show up and see what you're eating that day. And that's when you're like, ah, I'm getting killed later. No, I don't. Yeah. Yeah.

I think there have been times where guys have had their last meal and there's a last minute appeal that stops it. And so they just get to enjoy that meal. And then they go, I wish I wouldn't have ate all this. Yeah. Somebody kill me. Yeah. I'd like a grilled cheese. They will him in. He's all full. And they're like, you don't got to do it. He goes, well, I would have got a salad. Yeah. I'm going to feel like a garbage the next two days. Yeah.

Yeah, tough to be happy when you're just digesting that crap, huh? Yeah. I would do a grilled cheese with American cheese and white bread because that's what I like, but that's real bad for you. Nothing good about that. I'd like to throw that in too. Tomato soup? I wouldn't do the soup. See, I could do two grilled cheese sandwiches.

But you're like, I want my mom to make them. Right. And then I want Campbell's tomato soup with milk. I use milk instead of water. Okay. Maybe an old school hamburger from a little league baseball game. You remember those? Those are great. And a pixie stick too, huh? Yeah. Slushy. Yeah. I get slushy. Yeah, now you're talking. I want a few slushies because I'm going to just drink the syrup out of it. I'm not going to be wasting my time on the ice. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, a few slushies. You know, you have to set the tone. Nobody's going to be talking about all the people you killed eat all this stuff. They're just going to be talking about that. That would become the story. Yeah. That would become the story. How much ketchup did you use? Dude. It's every start. I don't even, I don't have enough words. They didn't give me enough words to describe the amount of ketchup this guy used. It's like a crime scene. It looked like one of his crimes. We had a Heinz rep on hand. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting off with some of you guys' comments. When's this one coming out? We don't know yet. Yeah, it's coming out the week of... Oh, it's the big week, isn't it? It's the big week, dude. Oh, Bridgestone. I mean, Bridgestone this week. Yeah. Are we not here? Oh, because of Monday. You're playing your golf tournament. I have my golf tournament this week. A Bargetti charity golf tournament. Yep. Someone emailed, by the way, and asked for us three to be their partners. Yeah.

In the tournament? Yep. Y'all going to do it? No. No. Why? I didn't even run it by these guys. Y'all should do it. I'm out of town. That Monday? Yeah. I didn't even run it by these guys, but I'm like, you don't want us out there. They definitely don't want me out there. It might seem fun when I show up, but I'd be real bad and they'd be like, okay, geez, dude. After the second or third hole, they'd get old. Yeah. Yeah.

Scar smoke in his face. Yeah, yeah. Just sitting on the golf cart being like, skip it. Your shoes are off. You're out there grounding. Yeah. Yeah. Pargent 2024. I think it is hilarious that way back in episode two, Nate says that he would prefer to talk with someone who doesn't believe in space than someone who does. Fast forward to the addition of Dusty, and I think I would have to agree.

Not saying you don't believe in space. We're just having a good time. Yeah, we're doing a bit here. So the question becomes, did you add Dusty because you got tired of just talking to Breakfast and Aaron? All joking aside, I love the podcast. You helped me get through my master. I read that all wrong. But all joking aside, I love the podcast. You helped me get through my master's last year, and now you helped me get through my drive to work. All right. Congrats on the master's. Yeah. Yeah.

He's a master. Probably not even at night, probably. A daytime master. A real one. Yeah. Crystal Hawkins. I want to say how grateful I am for the vision of Nate Landbring and Clean Comedy that my kids can be around and hear. My 11-year-old son loves to say penguins because of y'all. My husband and I are always telling our friends to listen. We convinced several with the If Ants Could Take Over the World episode.

thanks for everything you are doing for all the laughter and interesting facts. It really enriches, enriches my week. Is that how you say that? Enriches. Enriches. What did I say? Enriches. Enriches my week. Well, the ants taking over the world episode was, yeah, that was a hot episode. Yeah, that was fun. People loved it. Yeah. People liked it.

Sean hates. Hate. Hate. Sean hates. Sounds like a partial statement. Yeah. I feel like this is a woman. I don't know why. It might be Sean. No, no. There'd still be Sean. Sean Johnson is the gymnastic. I thought it was. Okay. Yeah, you're right. I'm just saying I have no idea if this is or not. So with Nate Land Production taking over the world, have you thought of doing a new sitcom?

With all the different streaming platforms and Greg Garcia's help, I am sure someone would pick it up or retooling your pilot to be a drama like they did with Fresh Prince.

They did that with Fresh Prince. It's a drama. It looks so bad. I don't know if you've seen it. It looks so bad. I think there's probably still meant to be funny moments, but it does not look to be strictly a comedy. I don't know how you take the classic comedy of our lifetime and try to make it a drama. Yeah. We all know the theme song. I mean, everybody knows it. And it's like, how are you going to try to make that a drama? It's going to be just...

Heavy after heavy. I mean, it's going to be the way of the world. Now, there were heavy moments in that show, but they were few and far between. That was in a time when not everybody was doing it. That's right. People are not against heavy moments.

But you just got to go with the way of where everything is. They got to be earned. They got to be earned heavy moments. It's got to be, and those were real. And I remember I cried during Fresh Prince of Bel-Air when Uncle Phil, and he hugs him. How come you don't want me, man? Yeah. That whole thing. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that was awesome. But it was like, you just thought everything was, it wasn't every, you know, you could set up and wait for a nice moment like that and then go back to, you know, the show was ending, all the stuff.

Like you could do that kind of stuff. And now it's like everything is just from out the gate is just like a whole, you know, it's a whole thing. Yeah. Yeah, we could do it. Yeah, look, I'll see whatever happens with the sitcom. There's always trying something. But Sean says with all the different streaming platforms, well, Nate Land is the streaming platform.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I would love that. I mean, we're, you know, it's like this stuff has to build up. I would love to. That's the ultimate goal is to have Nateland be a, you know, you could be like a Disney. You can just be, here's what we make at Nateland. Nateland theme park, man. Nateland theme park. And then you can make, yeah, you make, I mean, I think you can make movies. I think you can make-

I was, you know, I'm watching like John Wick and you're like, you can make these movies. No one's against these are, you know, it's not trying to be prudes or trying to be whatever. It's just, you know, maybe not everything has to be so sexualized or, I mean, maybe that's the older in me that it just, it just feels like the old wave stuff was the stuff that we grew up with. Yeah. Yeah.

And maybe I'm wrong because I watched some PG stuff when I grew up, but you're like, golly, like the stuff they say. A lot of the 90s stuff is real wild. Yeah. But it's not like today, though, I don't think. I mean, today, it's like John Wick. I mean, that movie, I loved it. I love that movie. But I'm like, it is...

Way over the top. I mean, it just, you know, a dog was killed and we were all sad about it, but it ended up in a lot of death. You know what I mean? Yeah. But that's like a shoot them up. Like you're watching a guy do karate and yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. But a lot of people died. You gotta, you gotta believe that some of those people were not even really involved in that dog being killed. Yeah. You know what I mean? They're like, listen, I'm just needing a job here, man. Because I was just walking by. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I think every, it feels like back then it was about, everything was about, the movie was about that person. And I feel like everything now is like kind of got an outwardly, like it's trying to change you. Where back then it was like, no, no, we're just a movie. Here's a movie. Laugh, do whatever you, you don't have to take it home with you. And now movies are like,

You should be different after you watch this movie. It was a lesson to be learned. Yeah. And you also had comedies where it was like, it was a story and there was funny stuff in the story. Now it's like joke, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke. Once it's like, it's fun to have a lot of funny moments, but they feel like you said earlier, they're not earned. It's just joke. It's just people sitting in a room, just punching it up all along the way where it's like, let the story develop a little bit and the laughs will come. Yeah.

Well, yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, Andy Griffith used to have a bunch of lessons, but it was like Opie learning those lessons. And so it didn't feel – you would see the lesson, and it's good for you to watch and stuff. But, yeah, it just feels different. It feels a little different now. So I don't know if that answers your question. But maybe – he's like, maybe don't do it. I've changed my mind. Yeah. Because first you called me a woman, and then you –

D. D'Angelo. D'Angelo. D'Angelo. D'Angelo. I stopped listening to the podcast for a while when Dusty came on board. All right, next comment. All right. However, I listened to a few recent podcasts when Nate wasn't there, and Dusty kept me entertained. I don't agree with Dusty on pretty much everything, but he says what he thinks with such conventionality.

conviction. So I have changed my mind. I'm back listening to Nate land. Welcome back. Welcome back. Glad to have you. You abandoned so quickly. I mean, you kind of, you really got to take it easy. Don't be so reactionary. We lost a lot of people when you came on board. How back do you think he is? Is he sitting down on the couch or is his jacket still on standing by the door? That's what it feels like. He didn't wish me. I think he, yeah, yeah, he did it. Yeah. I think he knows, you know, it's,

Yeah, he's not daily viewing. He's back where, like, yeah, I'll give it a go. It's funny how we think Sean might be a woman, but D'Angelo, we call it he, for sure. Yeah, a lot of people get so bothered by my beliefs, but, you know, I'm just, you know, really smart, and I know what's going on out there. Yep. You're C. You're C. Your beliefs all...

End with, well, you'll see. Yeah, give it some time. Yeah, give it some time. Cameron Huddleston. Cameron Huddleston. Wondering what advice you would give a 36-year-old who's looking to do the first open mic night in the next couple months. Hey, just go do it, but then just know where you're going to talk about. Just have the plan. Don't go up there just thinking I'll figure it out. Have the plan. Think of the jokes. Think of whatever.

And then just do it. And then you got to just go do it because then after you do it the first time, your lease will be like, okay. And then you do it again just to then be like, okay, I know how this works. But have a plan. It's when you – if you're going to go up there thinking, I'm a funny person, I'll be all right.

you're going to get hit with just, it's not going to be great. I'll give two. I wonder if you all disagree with me. I have two things that I think. A, don't bring a big group with you. Yeah. Save that for the 20th time you do come. Yeah. Because I think you're going to be tempted to bring a big group out. And it's just not going to be good. And they're going to laugh all loud. And you're going to think, oh, I crushed.

So just go along. Yeah. You're going to have to pull the bandaid off at some point. I think take a buddy. Take a friend. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. But this resists the urge to make this a big event. The second thing is don't, if you, if you're interested in doing comedy, like for real, like continuing to do it, I would not film it and put it online. Your first set. Yes. Yeah. I think a lot of people do that now and have fun and be yourself.

I would say... Literally, your first two advice was to not have fun. Take it serious. What are you talking about?

Go alone. Don't film it. I felt like I was being too heavy, but I thought those are actually two pretty good. I mean, you should film it. Just don't post it. Oh, sure, sure, sure. I would say, say out loud one time what you plan on saying before you get there. To whom? Just to yourself. Yeah. Just say it out loud, even in the car on the way, because sometimes you can like write down a joke and you'd be like, that's hilarious. But if you just say it out loud, you'll realize that's not actually very funny. Mm-hmm.

Maybe when you go drive to pick up your buddies or something or like you just, before you get them. Yes. Just be like. Yeah. Don't say it to Andy. Don't run it by. I think I'm going to do this. When you, when you get to them, you could even say like, they're like, what are you going to talk about? Be like, all right, I'm going to talk about, you know, balloons and then a horse. And then, you know, the jacket I'm wearing. I got like a joke about each of those things. And then you go, and that's, I'm going to close on the jacket thing. And then you just see, then, you know, the order. Yeah.

Yeah. But I just think sometimes I've written down jokes and I go, I'm going to do this at the open mic. And then I'll say it out loud. And then sometimes the first time I say it out loud is on stage. And as I'm saying it, I'm like, oh, this is not funny. I don't know why I'm doing this. But I've done comedy a bunch of times now, right? So it's like I can bomb at an open mic and live with myself. Mm-hmm.

And I would say a lot of comics are going to be using this as therapy, but... I mean, when I first started doing theaters...

But it just always felt so uncomfortable. And I would just go off and you would just stand there. Then you'd come back on. And then I would just make fun of that situation. So I haven't done one in a very long time. Would you mind at Bridgestone Arena if people are chanting, if I went back out there? You can go. At the end? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. But they'll be saying Nate, but if I drop it. Nate's already in the car. It's kind of, yeah. You know, it's like you do an encore. It's like you just kind of, I don't know. Encores are just, like, I get it in music. Like, they do it. But there's a point where you want to go, like, you're just –

It's become like, you're like, just sing the song. Yeah, the encore in music is expected now. Oh, yeah. It's like, if I'm at a concert, I'm like, when it's over, I'm like, oh, thank goodness. And then they come back out, and I'm like, ah, here we go. But they save the best stuff for the encore usually. That's where it's tough. Yeah, I think you'd have something have to be very natural for it to happen. Yeah.

But I think the encore is almost ruined in the fact that people are expecting it. They don't expect it. And we turn the lights on like after, because it's like you just have to really signal that like this is it, that that was the end of the show. And it's just good to do the whole show together. Like just have it all be like, I'm not going to go off or whatever. Just have it all be in the moment, whatever. I mean, Bridgestone, you're in the round. So like there's nowhere for me to go. So when the show's over, it's going to be over because it's not like you can go backstage. Yeah.

So, yeah, you know, it does happen. You know, people can just clap. They can just sit there. But, I mean, if you watch, like, I think most of the time it's kind of understood or it's expected or you, you know, you leave the lights down where you think, oh, he's probably going to come back out. And then you come back out. I bet I could see, I guess, there's some acts that do it where they really, like Seinfeld does it.

And I mean, I can understand it because he does his act, says goodnight. Sorry. Sorry. It just hit me. But he does it. He says goodnight and then comes out and answers questions about Seinfeld TV show. I could understand it in that. If it felt like, if I felt there was going to be questions to be asked, maybe I could do it. I could do it to take questions, but I couldn't do it to...

But you're like, how are you going to know they want questions? That's a big risk. I've done that before. When you go back out, all right, I'll take questions, and no one raises their hand. It happened to me in Tallahassee, not recent, but like a few years ago. It was right after my special air. I was like, does anybody have any questions? They said no. Can we go now? Yeah, they just said no. No questions. All right. We're good. You're good.

It's a real matzo ball hanging out there. I can see if you have like a real iconic bit that everyone, like if you're Jim Gaffigan and you're doing Hot Pockets or Bert Kreischer, The Machine, you know what I mean? Like you leave and then you encore with like this bit that everyone knows. Yeah. See, I'm the kind of opposite with...

not trying to say I have an iconic bit, but it's, uh, sometimes you can go back out and do greatest hits, but, uh, and I've debated, I don't know if I was going to do it in, in cause of Bridgestone just being Bridgestone, but it's, you kind of want to just be like,

You know, I remember watching Burr and like, you're like, you don't do that. You just go out and do, because it's, you don't want, you don't want it to just be like, you got to have to do this the rest of your life. Right. You know, and like, it's hard. You kind of like, that material is gone and then you kind of try to come up with new stuff because that's what truthfully everybody wants. I know people would like to hear it, but, or I understand the idea of it and I get it, but.

Yeah, it's a tricky kind of thing. It's like a whole other thing that you've got to still remember. Yeah, absolutely. It's a lot of stuff to remember. I couldn't even do the Starbucks. I don't even know if I could tell you how it gets started now. I mean, I'd have to go really – I'd have to learn it again. When I saw Brian Regan in Atlanta, his encore is people yell out what jokes he does the greatest hits, and he had trouble remembering a few of them. It was fun because they're old, old jokes. 20 years ago. Yeah.

Do you know the only artist to ever get an encore at the Opry? No. You can guess. Henry Cho. No. No, I mean a musical artist. Charlie Daniels. No, it's a good guess. It's like the biggest one ever. Yeah, Garth Brooks. Oh, yeah. Garth Brooks. At the Grand Ole Opry show. The Grand Ole Opry, yeah. Got an encore. And they say there's no – this is what they say. They say they believe it to be the first ever time it happened to get an encore. Yeah.

When was it? Pretty cool. I don't know. The internet's down right now. Convenient. Well, Garth Brooks, you know, he doesn't like to be on the internet. He doesn't? Well, you know, his songs are not on Spotify. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Evan Cantrell. I need to know if our in-house conspiracy theory expert, Dusty, has heard about Helen Keller not being a real person. I'll hang up and listen. I have heard of that. Yeah. This is an interesting intersection of...

things because Helen Keller is a beloved in the state of Alabama. She's on our state quarter. Yeah. Helen Keller is, I mean, I have heard of it. I don't, you know, I don't, I did look at some stuff one time about it and, uh, you know, cause it's pretty interesting. I mean, because you think about, uh, cause they even get into her, her helper, uh, whoever that, what was that lady's name? Um, yeah, I forgot, but she, um,

Just the idea that this lady could not talk or hear and wrote books or something. I don't know. Yeah, multiple books. Yeah, it's just... Ann Sullivan? Ann Sullivan, yeah. I mean, I don't know. I don't have any reason to believe she's not real, but I love to get into a thing. I'm not real versed on it, but I have heard of it. Why did WebMD do an article about this?

When too many people do articles on it, you got to know. Yeah, well, it's like, why do people think she didn't exist? Yeah, what's the reasoning? Do you know? I don't know exactly, but I just think it's the idea that like she's, what is it? She's deaf and blind. Users claim the 20th century disability activist Helen Keller was a fraud who lied about her disabilities, was a Nazi, or wasn't even a real person at all.

So it looks like there's a few different angles people are taking. Yeah. Some of that's like, no, that's, I don't know. I don't, when it gets mean, I don't, I don't know if I tend to believe the meanness of it. Yeah. I mean, I'm not, I'm not mad at Helen Keller. You know, I don't, but I think, I think mainly, I think people's thought is the idea that someone is blind and deaf. It would be nearly impossible to teach them anything.

And like for her to like be able to learn to write books. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I don't think a part of the story is, is that it wasn't like amazing, which I did. It was called the miracle worker. It was incredible. Yeah. Yeah. You know? Yeah. I mean, I'm not, I'm not supporting it. I know you're not. I mean, I'm just, you know, doing a bit and, but no, I don't really support that, but I have heard it though. And I, you know, and if it pops up on my TikTok feed, I'll give it a look. All right. Jeff J. Snyder. Yeah.

Have you heard the theory that Garth Brooks' Chris Gaines

period was actually a misdirection. Have you heard the theory that Garth Brooks' Chris Gaines period was actually a misdirection? Garth Brooks' Chris Gaines period. Yeah. Oh, Garth Brooks' Chris Gaines period was actually a misdirection. Apparently, Garth wanted to retire, but he was making too much money for his record company to allow it. So they brought in a guy who looked a lot like Garth and had him do the Chris Gaines stuff.

That way, when he went back to being Garth, people wouldn't really notice that he looked slightly different than he used to. Apparently, a real Garth retired to a ranch in Shepherd, Montana. Oh, man. I have never heard this, and this is my favorite new conspiracy theory, and I can't wait to check this out. I mean, this is blowing my mind.

I like the idea that you misread his name, Goth. I like that, that instead of Chris Gaines, he's Gothbrook. Here's what I would believe in this. I would believe that he's not retired. I would believe that if this happened, they got a Chris Gaines to come out to say, just to be like, oh, everybody go look over there. Then he says he's retired. Then maybe Chris Gaines is doing good. And then he goes, well, I want back now.

I love this theory, though. I'm about to dig into this because that seems fun. Because the real story is they say they were going to make a movie.

And then Chris Gaines was going to be in the movie. So they put out the album, but then the movie never came out. So it just looked like this big flop by Garth Brooks. But I love this theory. Did you ever see the Joaquin Phoenix documentary about that? No. Do you remember when Joaquin Phoenix was going to become a rapper? Yes. And this was a big story. He went on Letterman and he acted crazy. That was all a documentary. Yeah.

Made by him and Casey Affleck. It's awesome, too. It's so good. Oh, really? Yeah, the exact same thing. It was all just a stunt to film this fake documentary. Nate loves some Casey Affleck. Yeah, yeah. Nick Alexander. A Rudy moment happened for a senior on my team in high school. He caught a seven-yard pass and spiked the ball and screamed, which was a 10-yard penalty. Dude.

So his Rudy moment came out to a three-yard loss. It wasn't even a touchdown. It was just like second and three. Yeah. Spiked it. Wow. That's amazing.

Jason Staub. Although I'm not certain dumping our trash into space is a great idea or the solution to our problems, I do think spin launch offers us a – so we talked about it last episode. Yeah. Promising a method of accomplishing the goal. I imagine a world where you can go to Lowe's and buy a new spin launch. Oh, and they just let us do it ourselves. Yeah. Put one in the backyard.

Shoot up your trash individually. Yeah. Just toss it away. Imagine being on a plane, just 40 people magazines just shoot by you out the window. You're just like, yeah, what was that trash going up? Trash day. Just people.

Neighbors fighting, they just lower it and they shoot it right at the house next to them. Yeah, you would have to have a no-fly day. You would. All flights are grounded. You can shoot your trash to space today. And you couldn't let that thing angle. Yeah, no. It'd have to be straight up, yeah. Yeah. Tennessee, we just start shooting over to Kentucky.

And you just get hit by a white castle. There ain't no white castle around here. Where's this jacks at? It's in Alabama. They're shooting the trash over here. Yeah, that's right. Jack in a box, back. Yeah. Yeah. You couldn't fly anywhere.

Yeah, you couldn't have flights because they would, yeah, you have to reroute the planes. It'd come at a big cost for sure, but this might be what we have to do. Yeah, save our environment. To save the planet. Can you imagine watching it? I mean, then you- It'd be kind of beautiful. It would be. People would be watching it, and then, you know, where does that go? And you go, hmm. Yeah. You better have those bags tied tight. Yeah. Yeah.

Double bag. Where is it going to go for the no space people? Where do you think they would think? Antarctica. It's going to come back down. It's going to come back down, right? I would say the no space people believe this is why this will never happen.

This is why the trash never goes to space. And it's going to be, well, it's too expensive. But if they're using it to shoot satellites, where is that going to go? They would say that- They're blowing it up. Yeah, that it's not happening. They're not shooting. It's shooting nothing in the air. And then it gets high and then it just blows up. Or maybe they could shoot it up way high up into the vast space in the sky, but not actual space. Yeah. Right. It's just up there. Yeah, floating around. Toward the top. Probably a lot of helium. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. So what would they think, though? Where do they think what goes through? So it's just earth, and then there's no space. Yeah, nothing goes through. So it's just there's a ceiling. Yeah, I mean, the Bible talks about the sun, the moon, the stars being within the firmament. Oh, okay. So it's all in here. It's all a closed space. Yeah. There's nothing that goes out. Yeah. Huh. Interesting. I could see that. So it's like you could see- So a meteor's just- Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, there's just some stuff moving around. We still have stars, moon, sun. All that is just in. Just in there, yeah. It's just in here. Just stuff moving around. Just in there. They're moving from space to space. Snow globe got shaken up a bit. They were going to dim the sun. They're still doing that, by the way. Yeah, yeah. So very hard to do if the sun is light years, light years away. Right. But it'd be much easier to do if it was within us. Yes.

And you can actually do it. It's not light years away. How far is this? It's eight light minutes away or something. 93 million miles. Yeah. So pretty far. Not a light year away. Oh, I'm sorry. Technical, Mary, go to college. I mean, it's a pretty big difference, dude. Huh? Does it even matter? There's no way, you know. You act like you drove by it on the way here. You just, yeah, well, it's not, you know. But we could send something to the sun.

Yeah. Our trash. Yeah. Like the Saturn thing has gone out of our solar system. Saturn is way farther away. Yeah. So why don't we send our trash to the sun? That dims it. I think it would give it fuel. Make it hotter. A little twofer. A little two birds with one stone. We'll dim the sun and get rid of trash. We got to say no tires. Yeah.

And you know someone's going to sneak some tires in there. They always do. If I had something to launch to space, it'd be tires every time. And then. It'd be the first thing. It's just going to be, what's that black smoke? Some dumb idiot. Yeah. I mean.

I mean, if those things were allowed in trailer parks, we'd be shooting it up every day. Because you can't take anybody anywhere. We'd shoot up a cousin up there. Anything Dusty King can't take to Goodwill, it's going into space. Yes, exactly. Goodwill would go out of business. Yeah. I could see that. I could see how the conspiracy would happen, though. Because if you think of it's all inside and then they're doing space, it's like...

Well, especially if you would think it's all against religion. Yes. They'd be like, well, I got to prove there's no God. Right. All right. That's a lot to take in. Yeah.

This guy, Jason's like, maybe he's like, I should say I don't represent anything that those guys said. He goes, I was joking about Lowe's and Spindle. I was just making fun. Last week he loved it when we talked about it. This week we put his name on it and think of another level. Now Jason's like, hey, man, I should get a heads up before y'all read. Yeah. I'm Brad. That's the name. Dusty stole his look from Chad Westport. All right. Wow. Do you know him, Dusty? I don't know him.

You got a pretty similar vibe. Yeah, we got a similar vibe. I have a video on YouTube that I did of all the people that people say I look like. I don't know if I included Chad Westmore. Is there one that's the most common? Hardy. Well, Hardy, not so much. People say David Cross all the time. They say David Cross with- Forrest Gump with long hair. Forrest Gump, I get that one.

Yeah. I don't see David Cross. But they always say that. They say David Cross in disguise. It's like your face. I actually get Jimmy Fallon in disguise a lot. You gave yourself that one. Yeah. Like Brad.

I'm just going through it. I have gotten Brad Pitt a couple of times. And every time I get Brad Pitt, I make sure to share it because I want people to know. People do say that. Like Legends of the Fall, Brad Pitt. I mean, I'm for it. I support it. I support all comments like that.

It's convenient. Yeah. I think you might have just been the only one who said that one. Yeah. Hey, I did a whole video on it and I put their comments in there. I believe there's no space more than I believe that. I mean, I agree with you. I don't see it, but I'm saying people say it and I support it. Amen.

Colton Witt. I've heard y'all debate what animal humans could beat in a fight, but what animal do you think would win in a fighting tournament of animals? Y'all should fill out this bracket and let us know. You can fill it out. You want to do this? Yeah, this is fun. First round, we've got a puffer fish versus a piranha.

One-on-one Pufferfish. No, and I think this is us fighting them or the animals fighting each other? It looks like... Did you do the Pufferfish? I selected one. Okay. Oh, you can select? Yeah, we're filling this out. This is April Madness, baby. There's a... No, I think a Piranha.

I think one-on-one if it were a bunch of piranhas. Pufferfish is one-on-one. I go Pufferfish. Pufferfish can't do much but puff out. So it's like the fight's going to get, and the piranha, piranhas just feel like lunatics to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're just going to be, they're not going to care what happens to them. They're going to get beat up just because they're going to get stabbed. They're going to punch below the belt. I think they're going to do whatever it takes. They're very off the books. They will, I'll take the piranha. I still support Pufferfish, but you guys got to do

what you got i mean i thought we built a pretty good case right there yeah yeah but one-on-one uh i mean pufferfish blows up it's got spikes on it so the piranha comes along tries to bite it gets the spikes in just one round yeah we'll do one round and then maybe maybe we can maybe the next few podcasts we can do what's how far does the other side too yeah how far so let's do the just the top well then yeah so let's do it down so three more yeah let's post this

Yeah. And so we would see it. So we're due just the East bracket just right now, just the first round. And then the next one we can do it. Because I do like this. Well, this we've established. Well, we've talked about this a lot. This is a gorilla versus a grizzly bear. And I think we actually found like there is a scientific consensus about this, right? Yeah. Which was it? I think it was the bear wins. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This party thing with hands, the gorilla could do it. But the bear is just...

But the bear, because grizzlies are so strong, but the bear, this is hay bear. I went to the Bass Pro Shop the other day, and they have a grizzly bear, a stuffed grizzly bear that stands. It's big. I looked at that thing, and I feel like Barry Sanders could not tackle that grizzly bear. I mean, I saw it, and I was like, that thing. He could still do good. You know he retweeted that? Did he? Yeah. Yeah.

What Barry Sanders did. Are you serious? Okay, well, I'm back on board with Barry Sanders. I'm pretty positive. I don't know if you can look up Barry Sanders' Twitter, but I'm pretty sure he tweeted something about us. I'm back on board then because. Yeah, I mean, he might not be. Yeah, I don't know how you find it. Was it a Nate Land or you? It might have been. I don't know. I feel like if it was Nate Land, I would have seen it. Yeah.

How do you do it? Oh, yeah. Look at this. Yeah. To be very clear, I do. Oh, I cannot believe we haven't talked about this. Oh, wow. So Barry Sanders, the official Barry Sanders, said, to be very clear, I do not like my chances versus a grizzly bear. Check out Nate Bargetti's video. And then he shared our TikTok. Yeah. That's insane. Wow. So TikTok, I don't have TikTok on my phone.

All right. Yeah, that's fun. How about that? That settles that. Well, I had no idea. We heard from the man himself. Yeah. Well, I'm... Yeah. Nah, he can still do it. He's being modest. He's being modest. Yeah. And that's why we love Barry Sanders. What's the TikTok video? Like, if you click... Do you have TikTok? Yeah. Like, if you click on it, like... So this is a clip from the podcast of us debating this. Oh. Yeah. That's where... Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, this is what I'll say. If that bear's standing up and Barry Sanders goes full speed, dive tackle, he's got him. Yeah. He's got him. I think he could, you know. Yeah. I think a grizzly bear looks at your eyes and not your waist.

Yeah. So he could juke him. Yeah, he could juke him. He'd juke him one time, he's off his balance, then tackle. Yeah. And hit him. See, Dusty's really into Barry doing the tackling. Yeah. Yeah. More about evading a grizzly bear. Because, see, I understand that Barry Sanders is a running back. Now, I get it. We had a very funny clip about it. Probably, yeah. I mean, very funny.

Some people's favorite clip. I just shared it again the other day. People love that clip. I think that's what that clip is. Well, you talked about me doing it in a drunk voice. Yeah, Bear Sand. Yeah. Bear Sand. But I think that he could tackle it. I'll take Bear Sand. Zooka, Zooka, Zooka, Zooka. He can turn Bear Sand into Zooka.

All right, what's another thing? Oh, that rules. Yeah. All right, let's go back to this. Wow, that's very noteworthy. We've got a snake, which I assume is some type of python. It looks like it. It looks like a python versus an alligator. Is that a python? Anaconda or python? It looks like a python. You know, this would really be great if they put a little detail on it.

here. It's gigantic. A big snake. I think that snake wins. It's going to wrap it up. If it wraps it up, it's done. Chokes the life out of it. They're quick. The alligator could do it, but I just feel like the alligator is going to be...

Now, if they're in water, I would be like an alligator. A lot of this depends on where this fight's taking place. But I think if it's on land. If it's in the Roman Colosseum, let's say it's like half water, half land. So let's put them in there. They can go in and out. Yeah.

I think you'd just be sitting there watching a snake and alligator live in the Roman colony. I do, too. I think that the whole show back, come on, let's go. The alligator would be like, come on out here. The snake would be like, no, you come in here. Yeah, it'd be 10 years. Yeah. Just like, so what happened in that fight? You're like, no, they just live there now. And now we just have, now they eat people. It's a zoo now, yeah. They don't even know the other one's there. Yeah, they wouldn't even...

But I think push comes to shove. I think the snake's going to wrap it up. And I bet there's occasions where you're going to see both sides of it. I mean, like, say if it's a... That looks like an alligator, not a crocodile. Now a crocodile would be different. Yeah. But if it looks like an alligator, yeah. I mean... It's a weird looking alligator. Alligators are... Alligators, I like alligators. They're going to be... It's crazy, but...

I mean, if it gets the snake's head and does the death roll, it'd be... It's going to be tough. Yeah. It's going to spin. It's going to spin. But I feel like I've seen an alligator being eaten by one of those snakes. Now, are these snakes venomous? Or do they just kill just from strangulation? Yeah. You don't know about a python? No, I'm just clarifying a few things. You didn't know that? No.

It's the one thing he's expert on. We don't even agree what type of snake this is in the picture. I think it's a python. If it's a python, they're not venomous at all. No. They don't even really bite you, right? An anaconda's not venomous either. Okay. I mean, if you'd used Latin on the last podcast, and then you- At two, Nate. Yeah. And then you- This is the difference of college and not college. I really believe that. This is what college and not college is. Y'all don't- You don't talk about basic things. Yeah.

Yeah, you're right. You talk Latin and all this stuff. I want to take that back, but Alea Octa Est. You know what I'm saying? See? Yeah. That's the difference. All right, let's click that snake. We got the snake. And then... Last for this round, we got a chimpanzee versus a Komodo dragon. I think Komodo dragon, man. I mean... Komodo dragons are...

A chimpanzee is- They really eat your fingers off. A chimpanzee would just be jumping around. I mean, they could buy- But a kimono dragon, this is like- He's like, this is what I do. Yeah. Like, I-

it's going to hit with the tail. Its bite has got just rabies and all kinds of stuff in it. I'm going Komodo dragon too. Yeah. I think even in these pictures, one of them smiling nice at the camera. The other one is the photographer's keeping it away with a stick. Oh, is that what that is? That's what it looks like. Yeah. It looks like they're going, God, I'll get too close to this. You can't. Yeah. I would say, yeah, like if you told these two animals they had a fight, the chimpanzee is going to be like,

Oh, he's like, oh, no. And the Komodo dragon's like, I don't even care who I'm fighting. Like, he doesn't care. Right. So, all right. That's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah, yeah. We'll revisit this. That's fun. Yeah, I like it.

I like it. So next week we'll do another region. Yeah, next week we'll do another region. Yeah. So let's post it on. Can you post this where people can do it? Maybe we can. So the next round is. Can you figure out some way of doing something? Grizzly bear versus piranha? Yeah. Well, that's an easy one. Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Yeah. But I mean. Yeah, yeah. That's an easy one. Yeah, yeah. Well, we're going to. Let's enjoy the conversation. There's also.

To answer your question, Nate, I don't know. I'll have to ask Aaron about posting it. Is there a way to... We'll figure it out. We'll share it in some capacity. This bracket fight thing, which I wasn't familiar with until he sent us this, there's all kinds of categories. One of them is stand-up comedian. So I did it, and it got down to you versus Roy Scoville. Oh, yeah? I picked you. Thank you. But I just went with people I knew, and then I'd get when it was...

Then I'd get people I knew better and better and better. Is this in fights or in comedy? No, it's stand-up comedy. This is the best stand-up comedy. Let's do one about comedians fighting each other. That'd be a fun one, too. It would be legendary. It would be like you against Richard Pryor, and I'd be like Nate and Rory against the greatest comics all time. You could do one of comics fighting. Yeah, that would be fun. That would be funny. Just get a list of famous – I'm sure now people are listening, we might –

if people like send us some, but if you want us to run, I mean, if someone wants us to run through this, I'm not against, we're going to, we're do the animal one. So we're finished out this guy's animal one. And if you have, anybody has any other ideas and we choose them, like maybe we'll go through it and, uh,

If it's maybe not as big, too, this is great. This is huge. This is like a 64C. Yeah, there's some smaller brackets. Yeah, if there's some smaller ones that we could just pop in and be like, all right, we got another bracket today we can do. All right. Maybe that'll be the new. Remember when we were doing the podcast and we didn't know? We kept changing the- Oh, yes. What we were talking about. Yeah, we were doing polls. What are you- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, the whole beginning was like we didn't know. Yeah, it was on the fly just being like, I don't know if this is it. I think that was before I came along and D'Angelo really liked it. Yeah, yeah. No, we had a great group back then. Well, a lot has changed since then, but one thing that hasn't changed, babble. Just trying to get into it. Still babbling. Oh, man. If you have, I mean, we were talking about languages earlier.

Yeah, I know, but it was too close to the last ad, so I had to spread it out. If you have an upcoming summer trip abroad, my go-to travel hack is about – I don't know if this is my hack –

I've never traveled abroad, but I'm going to in October. I'm going to Brazil. I've talked about this. I need to brush. This week, we're talking about Nashville. Oh, man. City of dreams. The reason I chose Nashville is because your show was at Bridgestone Arena this Saturday. We've had a lot of people email saying, we're coming to Nashville for the show. First time we've ever been to Nashville. Tell us what to do. Get out. Tell us what to see. Yeah.

We want to know. So I was thinking maybe I could put together a Nate Bargett or Nate Land maybe, just a tourist attraction. This is a brochure we're going to put together right now. All right. I like this. So maybe start at Donaldson Christian Academy. Yeah. Twitter.

Tour the halls. I don't know if you can go inside, but drive by, see where Nate grew up. Yeah. We'll post all of our addresses on the website to let everybody know about it. Come by, visit us. Say hello. Yeah, because we don't have VPNs. We're just going to be tweeting out all that stuff anyway. That's right. Yeah, that's right. That was last week. That's right. It's a callback. So... Maybe you've ever heard of it.

Maybe try it sometime, Aaron. It's the callback king over here, dude. Do you have callbacks? No, not like Dusty. Dusty does an hour and 20 minutes. The last 40 minutes are just callbacks to the first 40 minutes. That's not true. But he does a lot. I have more. I have a lot. Yeah. They're fun. I did do an hour. I've been doing an hour, hour 10, hour 15 almost every year now. Yeah.

I get into it. It's a lot of, yeah. Yeah. It's a lot of dusty. Yeah, it is. People get restless. Yeah. People are uncomfortable for sure. Do you give them an option to leave? No, no. I, I,

I'll wave to them, though. I don't. You give an option. If they get up, I get up. I've done an hour. Y'all can get out of here now. I'm going to keep going. You should probably do an encore. Yeah. Y'all just watched Mainstream Dusty for an hour. Those last 15, we're going to. If you want to get into it, stick around. If you want to get into it. That is what I should do. All recorders off. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I need you to go put your phone in the car. Yeah. And we're going to frisk you when we come back. Yeah. And you can choose if you want to come listen to this or not. That is what we should do. Howard, that's crazy. That's awesome, though. Do you like it? I love it. I get into it, and I just don't want to stop doing it. I remember I did a show with you at the Main Hanger Restaurant in Illinois, and it was like your first time doing a full hour. Yeah. Do you remember that? Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, well, I remember the main hanger. Oh yeah. Because there was only two people. Because I had no time and Dusty was like, can you please do 25? And I was like, yeah. And Dusty was like, well, please try to do at least 20 because I'm going to have to fill the rest of it. So that's, that's cool. Now you're just. And I did not have that much time. No, I didn't. I mean, I had the jokes, but they weren't, it didn't need to be strung together that long. So Nashville, um,

If you want to go do, again, the Nate route, maybe eat a little bit at Satco. Oh, yeah. I'm a big San Antonio taco fan.

That's near Vanderbilt, right? Yeah. I love it. Nashville. Yeah. I love SACO. If I'm ever down there, I'll go there. And I've been a big fan of them forever. I used to co-run a show right next to that, Somewhere SOS. You know that beach bar? Oh, yeah. I remember that. I think you did it once, Nate, when you were running a Tonight Show set or something. So I know that area really well. SACO is great. Mm-hmm. Nice little patio out there. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. It's cheap. It's like good vibes. It's not expensive, but it's good. Yeah. I mean, it's my favorite. Yeah, I go there all the time. And for bonus points, if you can find where Nate scribbled his name on the wall with the pencil. Yeah, they paint it. I don't think you go, but they paint it. Oh.

Never mind. Yeah. Because you'll go in there and it'll be filled up, but then you go back and it'll be off. So I think they paint it every so often. But everybody writes on it? You sign your name. So there's like 12 layers of just signatures of people? Probably. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, because it disappears. Because I'll even try to find it sometimes when I go back, but then it's gone and you're, you know. And I don't think I've been back to sign it.

I don't know when. I went there not too long ago. Did we go there? I went there alone not too long ago. And you looked for your name on there? No, I didn't. But I went there alone. I went there and just pounded. I get usually four tacos. The bean and cheese tacos are great. And I get usually two steak tacos with bean and cheese and lettuce.

And then I get chips and cheese, chips and queso, and I dip my tacos in the queso. Like when I go, it's like I want to be like, I got my own queso. Like I don't want everybody robbing me. Oh, sure. Sharing queso. Oh, come on. Yeah. You're like, it's not for the table. It's for like, it's for me. I'm going to drink it. If I'm at a Mexican restaurant and I order queso, I say, not to the table, but to the, I go, I'll have that for me.

Just so the table knows. Yes. This is not for everybody. Yes. Because they will assume. And you're like, no, no. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, sometimes you do have queso for the table. You go, hey. Right. That's why it's not a dumb assumption. But I want to make it clear.

This is not for y'all. Yeah, yeah. Y'all don't know how to do it. You're breaking all the chips in there. You don't want to be policing people on the chips either. I hate doing that. But yeah, I don't want you. I don't like to watch people digging it. I used to not be like that, but now I'm like, I don't like people dipping in my stuff. I don't like they're dipping and then they scrape it all around the edge of the bowl. It's just a nightmare watching people. Yeah. I had a nephew. He would just lay the chip kind of on top.

And just kind of let some stuff come on to it. And I'm like, this is gross, man. We're all eating that. Just soak it up. Yeah. A wet chip. Yeah. I'll give you a little bit of Nashville history lesson. Oh, let's hear it. Nashville was founded by two explorers. Jason Clark. Good guess. James Robertson and John Donaldson. Oh, wow. Wait, say it again. Sorry. I was...

You're going to recognize a few of his names. I'm sorry. I'll just tell you what I did. I texted Laura. It's not from my diet. I said, can you order the old Chicago pizza? I don't, you know. I'll be honest with you. And I'm seeing her respond. She's like, hey, you're not supposed to be on the...

She's trying to keep me healthy. Well, Eric, Eric, hopefully won't listen to this. Does Eric conspire with Laura sometimes? Yeah, a lot of people conspire with Eric. Eric is a conspirer. But I couldn't... Yeah, I was just thinking about it, and then my brain just went to it, and I thought...

You know, when we talked about, we were talking about pizza this episode, right? And then, and so then I couldn't let it go. That'll get it going. And I've been on a good diet. I've been eating good. I haven't eaten much calories today. And so I was like, you know what? I could eat a little personal old Chicago pizza, meat lovers. And so I just texted her to do that. Sorry. I have a problem. Yeah. He goes, you have a problem? He goes, no, no, no, no. We stopped the show literally to text. Yeah.

And you're talking about something about me. You're saying nice things about me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go see all the places. You want to come sit in this chair where Nate once texted during the podcast? Hey, can you order me a personal pan? And there's a lot of food talk going on in this podcast. I don't mind it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'll repeat what I said. Nashville was founded by two explorers, James Robertson and John Donaldson. There you go. James Robertson. There's a parkway named after him. Right. Downtown Nashville and John Donaldson, the...

Rundown community of Donaldson. That's not rundown. The Dirty D. That's where I live. Yeah, Donaldson Christian Academy. Yeah. Old Hickory, Hermitage, Donaldson, that's all kind of the same. It's the research triangle. Especially Old Hickory and Hermitage, yeah. Old Hickory and Hermitage, I don't know why there's a...

Yeah, I guess Lebanon Road kind of separates them, I feel like. Yeah, it does. But both named after Andrew Jackson. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Or I guess the Hermitage is named after his home, the Hermitage. Yeah. Old Hickory is what Andrew Jackson was called. Mm-hmm.

God, what a lame name. What do you say? I think old Hickory is a cool name. You don't think that's a good nickname? You're called an old tree? Like sturdy. Yeah. You're like strong. Sturdy maple. There he is. Yeah. You rely, reliable. Yeah. All right. I like it. I think Andrew Jackson was a lot, like you would be like an Andrew Jackson president. Like just kind of. The people's president. He was like having duels. The people's president. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I think. He had big parties at his house. Yeah. Hannah, my wife, worked at the Hermitage for a while. She did tours. I still have never been. Yeah. It's crazy. I've been there a couple of times. I talked about it. That's another one I talked about in this special as a comedian. Yeah, I was about to say, Andrew Jackson was not a good person.

I don't know about that. No, that was the guy told me that. I've never been to. Dusty's legitimately never seen your act. No, I did watch the latest one. I don't know. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Fast forward. Yeah. Let's get to the end. I don't know. He goes, why are you watching? And he goes, this is the guy when I go Mondays, I go hang out with that guy. Yeah. Can you believe that? He's got a...

Amazon, I guess you can't put anything on Amazon. But they did, I've still never been in the Hermitage. The only thing I've ever even done back there is my niece, Maya, ran a cross-country race.

race back there and we went and watched her and so I but I just have never I don't know why I missed it I think I say I might say this in the pocket but I'm out of our in the special but I missed it and I think because I was when I talk about not going to DC Washington DC and Hermitage because I switched schools yeah I went second fourth grade in Robertson County Cooper Town and then fifth to

I went to DuPont Elementary. Fifth, sixth, I was at DuPont Elementary. And they all... And I just missed the years. Well, the sixth grade, I didn't go because of the Gulf War, D.C. And the other one, I just switched schools and they both went the following year. Oh, really? So like...

Cooper Town went in fifth grade and DuPont went in fourth grade. And then I just missed it and then still never gone. I need to go. Yeah. You should check it out. I mean, it's not going to blow your mind, but it's pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. I've never been. Ruth just had some friends in town and they went to two tourist attractions in Nashville I've never been to. Loveless Cafe. Yeah, I've been there. And the Bluebird Cafe.

I've never been there. I don't know if I've been there. I know of it, but I've never been there. It's apparently a little bit like, I mean, it's always been an iconic thing, but kind of like the Comedy Cellar got bigger when Louis' show happened. Yeah. After the show Nashville, I think the Bluebird Cafe went to a new level of tourists. I bet Nashville people always knew about it, but now it became like a destination spot for people visiting the city. Yeah. Yeah. They tell people to go there.

I bet it's great. I think you got to get tickets early because I think it sells out immediately. So they sold out? Yeah. Yeah. Dang. So they called it Fort Nashville and built a fort. Nashville Village. Nashville Village. They have a golf course. Nashville Golf Course. Yeah. Yep. I used to live in Nashville Village. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

It's rough, man. Yeah, we judged the people that lived there. I'm sure you did. No, I don't know. It was nice at one time. That's an Antioch. Yeah. Okay. Nashville Village was, yeah, I think it was like a. It was nice back in the day. They have a fun little golf course in there. Yeah. No, we weren't playing golf back then. They have a cool golf course. I don't know what they've done with it then, but it was like a fun. They have some fun holes. Yeah.

We were eating Little Caesars and locking the doors. That's what we were doing. We were playing golf. Well, this Fort Nashville was on the riverfront at First Avenue. We're at First Avenue. There's still a replica of Fort Nashville downtown on First Avenue now. They built a fort to protect themselves from wild animals and Native Americans. Oh, I've seen this downtown. Yeah, I've seen it. Yeah, I've been there.

That's how all houses used to look. When was this? That's a four. Yeah, that's what we'd call a house now. 1780? 1779. Okay, sorry. I didn't know. I was going to say I was off. Get it right. Come on. Nashville was named? 1779. That was 200 years before me. That's when Nashville was founded? Yeah. Think about that. It took 200 years. To get you. To get me out. To get you in. And I finally go, I guess I'll see what you're about.

You want to let it develop a bit before you come in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At the beginning, I was waiting for Bridgestone to be built. Make them get a target and stuff. I go, well, where am I going to go talk at? And he goes, all right, we'll get a dome. It was named after Francis Nash, American Revolutionary War General. Never heard of him. Francis Nash. Apparently they were fans of him. They named it after him in his honor.

Did he or did he force him to do it? Was he here? Was he involved? I don't think he was here. They just loved the guy. I guess. I didn't read anything about him being here. Well, that's kind of over now. I think if a new city got incorporated, how many would be named after military generals these days? None. That's what I'm saying. None. Yeah, it'd be like Oprahville and stuff like that. It wouldn't be.

I can't even name it. Well, I think we already- Petraeus Town? Yeah, I think we already got the names. Right. We're done naming. Are towns even being named still? I bet towns are still being named. They're being renamed. They're being incorporated. Yeah, for sure. What's incorporated? They're becoming an official city. Oh. With a post office and a peel box and all that? Just within another community, just some land. They're like, you know what? We'll make this a town now. We'll find out what it would cost to have a town named Nate Land.

Yeah. I'll look into it. Thanks. I would like to know. It looks like something Michael Scott would tell Pam to look into. Yeah. I would like to know what it... Well, if you built like... Because what if you did want to build? You got to have land. I mean, I feel like there's no more free land. Let's go in, buy a bunch of land. There's all land. There's no more free land now.

Well, I mean, if the government wants it, they can do eminent domain. Yeah, yeah. But I don't know what you mean by... Yeah, the government can just take... I'm saying there's no more like land that's like, you know, there's nothing left to discover. Oh. I think there's plenty left to discover, dude. I thought you meant like land that just no one had claimed yet. Yeah, yeah. That's what I mean. Like there's no...

unclaimed land not unless there's a remote island somewhere yeah there's a lot of wild empty ocean it appears i bet there's some land out there they're not telling us about yeah you know what i mean like you ever look at like what is it like the pacific to the atlantic that whole just empty space in there there's something out there another america out there there's something out there they don't let you fly there yeah or boat they don't let you boat there i mean there's got to be something out there that's a vast ocean if that's right there's got to be something out

Yeah. I'm not sure where you're talking about. Well, I don't know. You got to pull up a globe. Yeah. I mean, because I can't. I just, you know, I'm just trying to tell you a thing that I'm visualizing. Yeah, you're right. Pacific Ocean is so huge that there's probably a lot out there. You zoom out from our Nashville. Yeah. I mean, look at like, even in between, but like. I'm trying to get the worldview here. It doesn't let me. Yeah. But even there, like, look at like.

To the west coast there of the United States. Yeah. Yeah, all that space out there. Come on. There's something out there. You know what I mean? Well, Hawaii is right there in the middle. Yeah, there's Hawaii. Trash is out there somewhere. Yeah. That is big. That's a lot of space, man. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There's a lot. I don't disagree with you there. There's stuff out there we probably have no idea about. But as far as the United States goes, I think all the land's been claimed. Australia, I'll be honest, it doesn't look that far away.

From what? From us? That's pretty far, dude. That's the whole Pacific Ocean. That's like Washington to the bottom of South America. Well, that's a long trip, too. No one complains about that flight. That's not to scale. That's not a globe. That's a flat map. Nobody complains about the flight from Washington to what? Paraguay? Yeah. Argentina. Paraguay.

No one's like, oh, you don't want to get on that flight. It's actually, is it Paraguay? I've always called it Paraguay. Yeah. What's down below? Yeah.

So it's probably Paraguay? No, no, no. It's just funny. I've always called it, like you talk about it a lot. Yeah. Do you mention it a lot? Quite a bit. Yeah. Well, look at that. See, Antarctica, that's what I'm saying. We're not even allowed to go there. People go, oh, you can go there, but then you can just go to that little peninsula right there and they give you a guided tour. But all that land down there, we're not allowed to go there. But there are scientists and stuff down there.

Yeah, I mean, yeah. They're saying there's a lot of trust. We're not allowed to go. I had a friend who just went. Yeah, to the peninsula. Probably went right there in Livingston. Yeah, I had a guided tour on the peninsula. You're not allowed to just go and roam. Government officer with a pistol on your back the whole time. I bet if you had a boat and tried to get out there, they would stop you before you ever got there.

Now, I saw a guy recently on Joe Rogan who said that Antarctica wasn't discovered until, I don't know, the 1700s or something like that. But there's ancient maps, hundreds and hundreds of years older, that show it. And he thinks it's because it was a lost civilization, that there used to be people there, and then somehow they lost connection with the rest of the world. And we just didn't even know they existed for hundreds of years.

And they became penguins. Could they have froze to get, like maybe it used to be hot now and then it froze over and yeah. 1820 it was discovered. Yeah. I mean, I just think that, you know, you're not allowed to, apparently there's like this Antarctic or Antarctic treaty where all the countries have come together and been like, all right, no one can go there. And that's suspicious. The Antarctic treaty system.

Yeah, they should be like, if you can get there, you can go. Right, just explore. Walk around, you know? If you freeze to death, that's on you. Earth's only continent without a native human population. It regulates international relations with respect to Antarctica. Yeah, it's like, let us go down there and wander around a little bit. It was the first arms control agreement established during the Cold War, setting aside the continent as a scientific preserve, establishing freedom of scientific investigation and banning military activity. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So they don't want, you can't go blow up. Well, you can't go claim it as you can't go annex it. Yeah. Yeah. But let's just walk around.

Let us just take a little journey down there. Wait, so you can buy a plane ticket to Antarctica? I don't think so. You'd have to go to... Well, first you go to Paraguay. No, you got to... Yeah, you can enter it from Argentina down here. But not on your own. See how close Argentina is to Antarctica? That's a hop, skip, and a jump. Yeah. Oh, so you just fly over. Well, who went there? You had a friend that just... Yeah, my friend Corey went on...

I think Dusty's right. I think he flies to South America and then you take a ship until down to Antarctica and then you get off. It is a tourist thing. Yeah. Yeah. Guided tour. That's pretty cool. But it does exist. Right. But just a guided tour. You're not allowed to just go hang out though.

On your own. Yeah, but it's freezing. It's way below zero. Right, but it's like, that's what I'm saying, though. Just allow us, and then if we get down there, we're like, this is actually really cold. And then we'll head on back, you know what I mean? Yeah. We're just not allowed to go. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. It's only 19 degrees right there now. We can go check it out. I mean, we've talked about this on previous episodes. I think there has to be a landing strip somewhere for planes, and there's just not a safe one there.

Dude, the South Pole is negative 60 degrees. I don't know. Yeah, I mean, that's pretty cold. It sounded like I was laughing at what you were saying. I'm sorry. Well, what's it going to be at 5 o'clock?

Negative 33. It's going to warm up. Not that bad. Not so, not so, yeah. Like that you can't even live in. Yeah. But what if they're making those temperatures up? Right. That could be. Yeah. Who's down there reporting it? Yeah. Feels like negative 94. See? We just have this weird trust in scientists. We all just trust scientists. You know, I don't trust them. The wind's coming from the east.

You're like, is it? What if there is no East? What are we even talking about? Nashville. The Antarctica of Tennessee. It started because he's talking about making a Nate land, a city on Nate land. And then we somehow got Antarctica. By the way, it costs $115 to name a street. I can't find city.

It's going to depend on the city, but if you want to start naming some streets. $115? It's just a processing fee. It's just paperwork. There's no actual cost, but then the developer can approve it or not, whoever owns the area. I think there is a new theme park opening in Nashville. Is there? I believe so. I think it's like a children's-based, based around children's books.

And I don't know where it is. Storyville Gardens, a proposed 100-acre theme park near Nashville that could be opened by mid-2022. That didn't happen. Oh, well. Never mind. Could be, could not be. I don't want to take my Nate Land idea. We're bringing Opryland back. I like that. We're doing it. I came to Opryland when I was a kid. Coming soon. So this place is going to open soon. Just a little behind schedule. And we get it. It's been a hectic year. I mean, I don't think they've broken ground, but.

I think this was announced right before COVID, and I haven't heard anything since. Well, we can plan a trip. Oh, investor opportunities. Let's get into that. What about... Are you guys... Are naming rights available? Yeah. Well, check the investment interest and see what stops you. Yeah, you're like, are you interested in changing the name and theme? Let's say two and a half million. Aaron Weber. What did you say, Dusty? Interested in changing the name and theme. Yeah. If so, we'll throw in a little bit. You're putting... Oh, yeah.

You're going to submit it? Yeah. Oh. You just don't ever do a phone number? No. I don't want them actually calling me. Oh, well, they're probably not going to get in touch then. Like, they're not. Your area code was 123. Yeah. Well, that's my real email. Yeah. All right, we'll see what happens. Let's see what they do. Mm-hmm. All right. So Nashville. Let's just wait around until it happens. Yeah. Old. A lot of businesses headquartered here. Bridgestone. Oh. Captain D's.

Captain D's. I didn't know that. Well, we don't take enough pride in Captain D's as a city. I've never heard that talked about. There's not even that many Captain D's left. Yeah, we won't shut up about it. We just got a brand new one in Hermitage.

But we talk about Hattie B's all day long, but I didn't even know Captain D's was from here. Yeah, we should. Captain D's is great. Captain D's has been around for a long time. I loved it. I used to go there a lot on Sundays. Yep. Sundays was a big deal to go there. You stood in that line, ordered your food when it's at the table. Get the little crunchies. Hush puppies. Yeah. Well, you know, like the fried fish would have the extra little crunchies in the- Oh, yeah. Yeah. Not a hush puppy guy.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm not either. I liked them. You would. I like cornbread balls. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. That's what it is. Logan's Roadhouse. Oh.

I like Logan's Roadhouse, too. Yeah, me too. Dollar General. Oh, wow. I had no idea. Dollar General has taken over the country, I'll tell you that. Yeah, they're doing good. Their headquarters are up in Goodlettsville. Okay. And I met with the CEO, this was years ago, when I first started doing comedy. He wanted someone to help him write a funny speech. And I met with him a couple of times. And it was the most money I'd ever gotten, so I was really into this. And I put a lot of work into it. And the last time we met, he said...

Just what's some funny jokes you've heard that people laugh at from other comedians? And I'm like, well, that wouldn't be authentic to whatever. He's like, I don't care. And he just wanted me to take the funniest jokes from whoever for him to tell him and stuff like that. He didn't have any faith in your writing skills. And that was his – it was his bad. Yeah, exactly. You could have wrote him a good speech. Like you were trying to write like –

Yeah, yeah. I remember there was one joke. I think I remember this. Yeah, I mean, it was a big deal to me at the time. I wrote something like, I'm trying to get more hips, so I'm changing the name of Dollar General to 50 Cent or something like that. And I don't know. It was a little bit better than that, I think. But yeah.

But HR shot it down. They're like, we can't say that. It'll make you look like, I don't know, whatever. And he finally was just like, what's a funny joke you've heard on TV that people would laugh at? You should have given him my joke, which is I never had any family in the military, but my sister did one tour with the Dollar General. That's better than anything I wrote. Yeah. But I did not know you existed at the time. Yeah.

It would be funny if he met with you and he was just like, man, maybe I'll do a sad speech. Yeah. It just like changes the whole talk. Did he do something? I never saw the finished product, but I think I remember giving him like Helen DeGeneres has a joke something about my grandma walks, I don't know, four miles a day or whatever. And she's 98 now and we have no idea where she's at or something like, you know, just like joke jokes like that. And I think he just told them. Yeah. So it totally changed. But anyway.

Some other things, headquartered here, Hunt Brothers Pizza. Oh. O'Charlie's. Wow. I love an O'Charlie's. I had no idea all this was- Jay Alexander's? We've been doing a lot of stuff, man. Yeah. We don't take enough pride in this stuff, I think. I got an O'Charlie's right down from my house. Yeah. We're the home of chains. They get started here. Right. Right. And then do well other places. Yeah. I don't know why that is.

Well, you go to Northwest Arkansas, they love the fact that Walmart started there, right? Oh, yeah. We've got Dollar General, and we don't seem to care. I think we care. There's not a Dollar General museum, you know?

Give it some time. Give it some time. You're right. You're right. Yeah. We're, you know, right? Yeah. Okay. Walmart's, you know, we'll get there. I counted seven on the way from my house to McMinnville. Walmart's or Dollar General's? Dollar General's. Wow. It's pretty good. Yeah. I don't know why you'd do that, but. Well, I...

You've never been on that drive to McMinnville. Yeah, there's not a lot going on. But I mean, the fact that you just, when you left that day, you go, I'm going to count the Dollar Generals. Well, I spotted them on the way down. I was like, man, there's a lot of Dollar Generals. So on the way back, I was like, I'm going to count them. Yeah. I think it was seven. You know what I wish was located here? The Ori. The Ori.

The Ori is located here. But headquartered, I mean. Yeah, I think it's California, but they do a lot of stuff here. They've been sponsoring this podcast for years. I mean, they're lifers. Yeah, they're great. I love the Ori. That's it. The jacket. I wore the silver, the camo, and I'm wearing another one.

I wear it every day. The whole podcast crew loves the Rory all things. And I was about to say that it's great. These friends of our podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. The Hattie B's. Yeah. They're opening. Well, Princess Hot Chicken is the original. That's the old school. Yeah, that's what I was going to get to. Princess was where it started. So the story is, I'd never heard this. Do you know how Hot Chicken started? You want to share it?

It was a woman who was mad at her husband. Boyfriend. Oh. Okay. Let's not nitpick the details. All right. Fair enough. It was a woman mad at a man. Yeah. And to get back at him, I think she alleged he cheated on her or something. Yep. So to get back at him, she put all kinds of spices in his chicken that day. Extra seasoning. And it backfired. He loved it. So she started selling it.

That's very close. He started selling it. It was Thornton Prince. Oh, that's a way better story. He took it and started selling it. Thornton Prince, his girlfriend suspected him of fooling around with some women, so she put a lot of extra seasoning just to set him on fire. He loved it, and he started selling it. Wow. When was this? 1930s. Wow. Wow. Did he stay together with that woman, do you think? I don't know. But he opened Prince's Hot Chicken Shack. It was originally on Jefferson Street.

Now I think it's moved to... Well, as far as bear attacks... Sorry. Glad y'all heard that too. My bad. I think now that they're on Nolensville Road. Yeah. You've told that story about you and Hannibal going there. Yeah. It took a long time to get our food. And my dad. So I brought it home.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, when I brought the Prince's hot chicken, I brought it. So me and Hannibal go get it. Mine doesn't come out. So I have to kind of just take it home with me because he's already done eating. So then I take it. I wasn't living here. I wasn't moved back here yet. So I was just staying at my parents' house. So I go back and I had a show. And I think I had a show with Johnny W. and-

I think we did a church somewhere. And I remember I had to drive to that church. So I just set it there and I was like, well, I got to go now. I got to go to this other gig. And so I left and then my dad came home and then just started eating it because he didn't know whose it was.

So he just started, he was like, oh, there's some chicken. I'll just eat this chicken. He just started taking big bites of it, not knowing it's hot chicken. So he was eating it like it's regular chicken. And it doesn't hit you right away sometimes. It's like the aftertaste. Yeah. I mean, so it's like, yeah, it's very funny to me. Like he was just sitting there just going, you know, it's like a couple bites, you know, watching TV, just not knowing. And then just, boom, just lit him up. Changes your day instantly. Yeah. Yeah. He was like, what is with this chicken? Yeah.

So, yeah, you can go to Prince's. You can go to Hattie B's. You know, I like a place that I really like, and I take people when they come here now. Downtown on Broadway, they have that whole food court. Yeah.

They have that. Fifth and Broad. Fifth and Broad. They have that whole food hall. I don't know if you were going to talk about that, but I love it. They have a Hattie B's down at the bottom. And then all up, it's a bunch of local restaurants inside. So you can get this just great variety of stuff all there. It is great. And yeah, I mean, I love it. What I always do, I take people there. I take them to Robert's Western World and then I take them to Kid Rock's Bar. That's for contrast of Robert's. Robert's is my favorite. And then I take them to Kid Rock's.

for contrast. And it's also fun. You ever been to the Country Music Hall of Fame? I have been, yeah. Love it there too. I mean, I love country. For a little while, my name was in the Country Music Hall of Fame. I don't know if it still is, but

Oh, this is fun. Well, I was supposed to be on the show in March of 2020 when they shut the show down for COVID. And it was the first time the Opry had ever been shut down. So it was called like the show that didn't happen. So they put that lineup in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, wow. And someone from my high school just was visiting and saw my name on that. That's cool. Yeah. That is really cool. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I love that area too. I've gone there, Nate. It's a great, like if you're coming this weekend, are you, yeah, this weekend to Bridgestone, it is a good, it's on Broadway. It's right across the street from Bridgestone. There's a bunch of little, you can go grab a bunch of different kind of stuff in there and, you know, you can sit wherever you want. It's like a,

It seems like a nice, it's like a nice, cool food court. It's what Nashville needed, really, in my opinion, because Broadway's great. It's cool, but it's like, that's a nice place to kind of escape from all the madness and just kind of go up, get a little food, chill out. Because it gets wild, downtown Nashville. Oh, a lot of drinking, a lot of bachelor parties. I mean, it's fun. Like, not scary, but it's wild. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You mentioned bachelorette parties. In 2018, New York Times called Nashville the hottest destination for bachelorette parties in the country. There's now apparently a CMT reality show called Bachelorette Weekend set in Nashville where they follow bachelorettes around. But you will see a lot in downtown Broadway. Mm-hmm.

That show sounds pretty terrible, but I do like that it's Bachelorette Capital because I think it says that the city's safe. It's fun and it's safe. So women feel very comfortable just coming here and having their parties. That's what I think it says. That's a good spin on it. That's a heck of a spin, dude. That's nice. Yeah, I think it's great. I mean, I'm glad Zaney's is not downtown so we don't really experience that too much, but-

But it happens. That bar somewhere SOS that I used to run a show at, they had a contract with one of the pedal tavern companies that they were a stop for those. So during our show, two or three times throughout the hour and a half show,

Another bachelorette party would show up to use the bathroom and get drinks and then get back on the pedal. It's somewhere SOS right near Satco down there. Okay. So every 25, 30 minutes, one of them will show up, just ruin the show for a few minutes. Oh, wow. Yeah. It's kind of fun when you know they're coming. Yeah. It's kind of fun. Yeah. So if you want to take a photo, a touristy photo for social media, there's the I Believe in Nashville mural, which is in 12th South.

There's the Angel Wings mural, also on 12 South. And then there's, of course, Zany's. Got to go take your picture in front of Nate. Or on the dangerous side of Zany's. Yeah. Dusty. Yeah, you might get robbed, but get a picture in front of me too. Yeah, do it in the daytime. There's a lot of people that have been on this podcast on that wall. Leanne Morgan's right next to you. Yeah. Henry Cho's on that wall. John Crest. John Crest, yeah.

And if you buy a ticket and go inside, you can see Aaron and I on the wall. Hey, we're in there somewhere. Yeah. So in 1996, Bridgestone Arena was built. Has it always been called Bridgestone Arena? It has not. It's actually had four names. Oh, wow. Can you name any of them? No. No. Maybe you tell me. Well, it originally did not have a sponsor, so it was just called the Nashville Arena. That's kind of boring. I like that. Is that when the Nashville Cats played there?

They did play there, yeah, the Nashville Cats. I went to the championship game for the Nashville Cats. I think it was the first time I ever went to that arena. What were they? They were an arena football team. Yeah. Okay, wow. And we made it to the championship. And then I remember going to it. Wow. And we lost. Mm-hmm. So the Cats announced the Predators. Yeah. K-A-T-S, Cats? Mm-hmm.

No, it's a different one. Now it was C. I don't know what that is. No, I'm joking. Yeah, it was the cats with a K. And the Predators got their name. I've probably mentioned this before. When they were digging downtown Nashville in like early 1970s, they found saber-toothed tiger fang and some other bones. They didn't even know saber-toothed tigers existed.

we're in this part of the world. Yeah. And it's on display at the arena. Is it? Yeah. That, uh, that skull with the teeth. It's pretty cool. So that's why they're called the predators. So it was originally the Nashville arena. Then it became the Gaylord entertainment center. Oh boy. The GEC. Some people would call it the GEC. Yeah. Yeah.

You remember that? That's probably when you were in New York, maybe. I don't know. Then it was the Sommet Center. That was a short time. And then it was Bridgestone Arena. That stuck. Yeah. And I might remember Bridgestone had just been around for now. A while. Yeah.

And just last month, March 3rd, Morgan Wallen set the attendance record. 19,292 fans in attendance. Now, it was a free concert, so I could have done that. Is that, where is, let me see, I don't know what that is. Let me see what his record attendance. It's just what I read, 19,292. Yeah. You don't think that's right? I mean, I just got it off the internet. Yeah. Yeah.

So it may be false. Yeah. But that was just last month. Now, I don't know Morgan Wallen's music. What is it about him that makes him so good? I couldn't tell you. Oh, you don't like him? I'm not a fan of it. Okay. I mean, I know people are. People love him. But I've tried to listen. It's just not my kind of music. I don't think you've heard a lot of his stuff.

Every once in a while, I'll go on Spotify, I'll pull something up, and I'll go, all right, I'm going to give this a try, and it's not my kind of music. He has songs that you would genuinely love. Yeah. He's got a really interesting, he just put out an album. Last minute, go to Game Time, and they have killer deals on last minute tickets and includes their best price guarantee.

See, I thought he did break the record that day. Or I thought they said it in some things. Well, I mean, I just Googled that and that's what came up. So that might not be up-to-date information. You know, another thing in Nashville I like, I like the Parthenon.

Yeah, we didn't talk about that. I'm surprised you like that. Well, I think it's super creepy, but I do like it somehow. And I did a video on it. So if you don't have time to go, watch the video. It's on YouTube. And I just do a tour inside of it. And I'm sure you've all been.

To the Parthenon? Yeah. It is so creepy to me inside that statue. It just feels like the statue is sending off bad spiritual vibes. What was it? Were the Athens of the South? Yeah, we're called Athens of the South because we have so many educational institutions here, so many colleges. And then during the- Is that what their Athens has, colleges? I think they were the education hub, right? It was like the-

For higher learning. Yeah, for higher learning. The philosophers and such? Yeah. All those Greek philosophers, they're all Athens. Oh. They just get together and chat. Because we have all that here. That's right. Even though there's an Athens, Alabama. This is our symposium right here. Yeah, and we're not even called Athens. Yeah, yeah. But Nashville has, yeah.

The sculpture is called Athena Parthenos, and it's the tallest indoor sculpture in the Western Hemisphere. Wow. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, I mean, that Nike is in her hand, and it's a light size. I'll tell you what, you don't hear much about the Eastern Hemisphere.

You hear about it a lot. I've never heard. I only hear. Like Europe? I only hear it's the biggest in the Western Hemisphere. I've never heard someone go, you know that's the biggest in the Eastern Hemisphere. You don't hear them say Eastern Hemisphere. We're in the Western Hemisphere, so I imagine we talk about it more.

Yeah, but I just don't think – I've never even heard the word Eastern Hemisphere said. I don't think so either. When I'm talking about Paraguay, I often reference the Eastern Hemisphere. Yeah. Well, we're Western, so – It's all the Western. The Western – what is it? Is it the top? I think it's – Does it mean the top or – It's the Northern Hemisphere. So we're in the Northwestern Hemisphere?

Yeah, I don't think they break it up into quadrants like that. Like conferences? Yeah, you would be in the overlap of the Western Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere. The NWH. Yeah. Yeah, so it's like the equator decides it, right? Yeah. And then what decides the West and East? Like the middle of it. I don't know the term for the vertical equator. Very loose. No one really knows the answer to any of this stuff. The prime meridian. It's the prime meridian and the... Yeah, that's what it is.

The half of Earth, Western Hemisphere is the half of Earth which lies west of the prime meridian.

Well, no one knows what that means. It's like the equator for the middle, dude. Yeah. Yeah, but no one talks about the prime meridian. Well, we don't hang out with a lot of cartographers. I imagine it comes up, though. It's an arbitrary line of longitude in a geographic coordinate system at which the longitude is defined to be zero in the middle. But the equator is the one that everybody talks about. That's talked about quite a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you are the prime meridian. And no one really says northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere. I mean, I've heard those. I've never heard eastern hemisphere.

Okay, you've heard the Eastern world before, right? Eastern philosophy, Eastern... Eastern philosophy I've heard. Yeah. Maybe. But even Europe's the West, right? That's true. That's true. That's not even what they mean when they say East and West. No. Because Europe is the Western world. Primeridian's probably pretty jealous of the equator, though, I bet. Yeah, so what's the Eastern... Yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, it's got two names, Primeridian. It's just not... It doesn't flow. Yeah. Sounds like a...

You know, transform. Yeah. So there it is. So hold on. Golly, they just had a picture of it. Yeah, the Western is basically, it's everything, you know? No, no, no. Is there even an Eastern? What's the Eastern like? See, look, so there's, Eastern is almost all of Europe except France and Spain and Portugal and the U.K.,

And then all of Asia and almost all of Africa and Australia and New Zealand. A real chunk of Africa, though, in the Western Hemisphere. I wonder if that's an issue. You're like, well, you're one continent, but you're one hemisphere and another hemisphere. It seems like, you know. Pick a side. Yeah. Yeah. So we would be the Northwest Hemisphere. Yeah.

And WH. No one says that, but we would be. I guess so, yeah. I've never heard it described that way. I guess so. But I don't know if you break it up into quarters like that. Well, then there is no northern and southern hemisphere. I guess they don't say that. They say equator, north and south pole, north pole, south pole. So what is the northern hemisphere? It's broken up into quarters. Yeah. So the northern hemisphere is everything above the equator. Okay. So that's most of the Earth. I got you.

It's a lot of South America, a lot of Africa, and then Australia. I'm here to say that I think what most people say, it's the biggest in the Western Hemisphere. Most people go, okay, and they don't have any concept of, you're never like, oh, wow. You're just like, man. I think most people are like, well, what's the biggest? Yeah, what's the biggest in the world? Yeah, don't break it down by hemisphere. Right, right. Well, they have to because that's like this side of Mississippi.

Yeah, yeah. East of the Rockies. Yeah, east of the Rockies. You got to have something to be like, because they, you know, people in the eastern hemisphere go, yeah, yeah, say that over here. They go, they won't say it over here. That's what they would say. Because we got indoor, bigger indoor stuff. Yeah. What's the biggest in the world? And how many, how high does this rank in overall? Yeah, I bet it's pretty far down the list. Is it second or is it, you know?

What'd you Google? Is it any? We've got tallest statues in the world. We've got the- But these are outdoor. Yeah, it's indoor structure. Well, this is indoor. Okay. This is 88 tons indoor statue made of gilded bronze. 108 feet. 108 feet. Wow. Where is that at? That's in China. And that's, God, ranked so low.

99. It's the 99. So how are you searching indoor? You can just search a word on a website? Yeah, you do find. You gotta find, man. These college boys. Yeah. That's crazy. Look at that. I know. Have you seen the Statue of Unity, man? No. That is bizarre. That's the biggest statue in the world? Yeah. Who is that? It's in India.

It's a... Patel? It depicts Indian statesman and independence activist, yeah, V. Patel, the first deputy prime minister and home minister of independent India. I mean, so ridiculously large. Like how big is that compared to, you know, something? The Statue of Liberty. The Batman building, downtown Nashville. Yeah, so it's 597 feet. That's closer to the Batman than that.

It's 597 feet. The Batman building is 617 feet. So it's almost as tall. Oh, wow. As the. It's basically as tall. So it'd be like the Batman building. Yes. Of a guy. Just of you. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That's what's going to be in Nate land. Nate land is going to have that. Yeah. There'll be a ride. You ride around it. Yeah. And I'll have it be my fat days. So you can have a little more curves to roll around. Uh-huh.

You know, because you don't want to skin. I mean, you couldn't do a statue. I think you need to be big to have a statue. You don't see many. You see a lot of in shape. You need to be wearing a lot of clothes. You need a little more. Well, speaking of Bridgestone Arena and statues, they just put up one out there of Pecorine last week. Oh, yeah. Oh, nice. And because hockey goalies, especially their equipment, is so big, it makes his head look big.

No, thank you. It makes his head look very small because of it. I mean, it looks good. I think he likes it. But someone pointed out that it makes his head look proportionally small. Is he the only first statue? Yeah. Okay. That's an announcement about it. It's up now? Yeah. They've put it out? Yeah, last week. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah, it does. Yeah. It does look very funny.

Very small. Because his head looks small. But I mean, that thing, that's what it looks like. I do too. I don't think anybody's complaining. Or he's not at least. But someone said he looked like Beetlejuice when he got his head shrunk down. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Who said that? You? My friend. Yeah. Huh? A friend of mine. Is it? Just a friend of mine. Yeah, you tweeted that last week. Yeah, like the media is out here. It's a good joke in the 80s. It's a good joke now. And still very relevant now. Well, while you're in town, if you come in, or some people are coming in early, making a whole weekend of it, some other things to do. The two nights before Nate's show, the Predators play at home. Oh, okay.

They're our NHL hockey team. They play Minnesota Wild on Thursday and the Colorado Avalanche on Friday. And then they got to get that ice out of there. If I slip, walk into stage. Well, the crazy thing, so the Penguins, when I did the Penguins thing, they had a game the next day at 3 p.m. What?

Wow. And then I showed them. I mean, they turned it around. The one I was in and then in Raleigh, they were – we – I mean, before we left on the bus, like we were in there at midnight. They already had all the ice and everything up. They're waiting. You do an encore and they're like, oh, damn. Oh, yeah. They just – I mean, once it's over, it's – the stage gets packed up. Everything gets put back and, yeah. It's pretty crazy. You watch them put seats everywhere. I mean, it's a tight ship. Yeah.

And if you want to double up on some comedy, maybe see a show at Zany's. We have a great comedy club here. At Nashville Comedy Festival, your show kicks it off, basically, right? I think so, yeah. Yeah. I looked at Zany's. I think it's Jason Banks, who I don't personally know. I don't know him either. Is there? Yeah. The Nashville Comedy Festival is a great thing. Look at these two here at the top. Nate, Leanne Morgan, David Spade, Fortune Feimster, who I work with a lot. She's great. She is great.

Yeah. I think I get a small square in there. It's 40 years of zanies. Yeah. Get a fun group coming down. Yeah. A little Dusty Slay. Oh, look at that. Bobby and Big J. Big J has a special route, Big J Oakson. He just put it out. If Big J is...

new york comic very extremely funny i mean one of our close friends uh very dirty though so just uh giving you that warning out uh you know all not all you you if you i just if you be aware you know if you're gonna listen to some uh but yeah someone i've known uh you know for 15 years but extremely funny has a special out now and uh

So, yeah. Some people don't, you know, if you're into it. But he's great. And, yeah, it'll be fun. The Nashville Comedy Festival is becoming, it's a good festival, man. Yeah, it is. It really is. It's always been really, really good. Same night as your show.

If anybody gets bored and wants to leave, Luke Combs playing Nissan Stadium. Wow. The Aaron Weber lookalike. It's going to be crazy. Yeah. It's a lot going downtown. It might be a problem me being around Bridgestone. Oh, yeah. If I wear a Columbia PFG fishing shirt. I think you should. I think I should dress like him. Carry a guitar. He is way taller than me.

Is he? Yeah. You're pretty tall. He's a big guy. How tall are you? I'm 6 feet. I think he's like 6'4", 6'5". Oh, really? He's a big dude, I think. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. 5'8". I mean, oh, 5'8". Oh, that's hilarious. Whoa. What made you think he was so tall? Just the look of him. That was based on just my pure instinct looking at the man. People think I'm tall, too.

People tell me that. I'm about 5'8", 5'9". People think I'm tall. They always tell me that. You're 5'8", 5'9". I'm 5'11". Are you? Yeah. I went to the doctor and I weighed 5'11". Maybe I don't know how tall I am. And I weighed 5'11".

They do my... Well, what'd you think? He was taller or shorter? Are you taller than me? I thought we were similar height. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think you might just kind of hunch it. I got a bad posture. You have bad posture. I do too. Yeah. When you go standing there and they do your thing, what do you do? Crouch down? I don't know. I don't... To be honest, I don't know if I've ever gotten my height from a doctor. They might write it down, but they don't relay it to me. Yeah. Yeah.

You get it the way, I feel like you get your height the way we tell Bigfoot's height. Yeah. Compared to like trees. You compare it and then you do it, and that's how you do your height? Yeah. I think so, yeah. Yeah. I just think I got my driver's license at 16, and they asked me how tall I was, and I said a number, and then that's what I've ran with. That's what you've been your whole life. Yeah. Yeah, I think you're taller than 5'8". But people always say, oh, I thought you'd be a lot taller. 5'8 is smaller. Yeah.

Oh, it says I'm 5'10". Yeah. The internet says you're 5'10". He has long brown hair and bread and brown eyes. Yeah, that's very descriptive. I usually have bread. Dusty loves his bread. How does it get your height? What's his face? You have a website, gossipnextdoor.com. Dusty Slade bio, wife. This is odd. There's a lot on here, man. Yeah, you look like... That picture...

that they just showed of you. I mean, it looks like you're on one of those shows where the wife killed the husband. Yeah, yeah, it does. And they put my net worth on there and I think they say under like 750,000. My dad saw that and he was like, said under 750,000 or something. I was like, yeah, way under. Mine's under that too. You go, all of us are under. Yeah.

That's fun. Yeah. Is there any other? I mean, there's a ton of Nashville stuff I got. What's the other Nashville? Just name some more. Well, the next day after your show at Bridgestone Arena, new edition. I may come back. Oh, at Bridgestone? Yeah. Oh, nice. Yeah. Nashville is also known as the buckle of the Bible belt or the Protestant Vatican because we have so many churches, over 700 churches.

A lot of religious headquarters are here, including United Methodist Church, Southern Baptist Convention, National Baptist Convention USA, National Association of Free Will Baptists. We're also called Cashville. Oh, jeez. Because rapper Young Buck had an album called Cashville. Little Kurdistan, because we have more Kurdish immigrants than any other city in the world. Kurdish? Yeah. Where's that?

Where's Kurdistan? Yeah. I think it's in the Middle East. Eastern Hemisphere. Oh, yeah. Eastern Hemisphere. Yeah, it's in the Eastern Hemisphere. So we... Oh, wow. That's... Yeah. Yeah.

The Goo Goo Cluster was invented here. Does anybody know the Goo Goo Cluster? I know what it is. I've never had it. Was it coconut or is it caramel? No, it's like – Caramel and marshmallow. I need to try it. I don't know if I'm a big marshmallow thing. But I always love the name, and I think it always looks delicious. But then I'm like – I think marshmallow throws me. I'm like, I don't know. You don't like marshmallow? I –

I don't know. When it's in something, I don't know if I'm just crazy. But I like... I would support marshmallow. Yeah. But I don't know if it's going to be... Yeah, it's weird when you bite into something and it's got a lot of different weird textures. But I love the name of Goo Goo Cluster. Oh, there's Kurdistan. That's right. Oh, is it not even a place anymore? It's not...

It's not a country. It's just like an area. I guess maybe they fled because it used to be a country and they all had to get out. Batman is in it. Saddam gassed a lot of them. Golly, you could have just moved on from it.

We weren't like, no one was prying for more answers. We just kind of. I'm just trying to paint a picture here. We were just kind of just doing our thing and having a good time, you know, as Dusty says. And then you just got to, well, you're the bad news now. Bad news, whatever. Well, I'll ask you guys, is there anything in Nashville that I haven't brought up people need to know about or see or?

I got all my things in. I mean, I really tell people go to Robert's because I think that's my favorite bar downtown. They play a lot of old country. And then I like to skip on down to Kid Rock's.

Honky Tonk. See the new country. Yeah. The Ryman. Ryman's right there too. It's a good place. It's right across from Bridgestone. The old Grand Ole Opry used to be there. The Grand Ole Opry is here too. Yeah. Yeah. But if you go look at the Ryman, it's downtown. It's like where the Grand Ole Opry started. It's the original. But yeah, the Grand Ole Opry is also here. We have a great minor league baseball stadium here, the Nashville Sounds. If you like going to minor league baseball games.

Yeah, that's fun. It's a good one. Do they play? They're in town all week this week. Oh, wow. But they're during the show, but there'll be... Yeah, well, don't go on the 15th. Yeah, Sunday is Sunday family day. Trying to wind down on Sunday, 2 o'clock game. Yeah, if you're here, I mean, some people might be coming and staying for some of the Nashville Comedy Festival. That will be going on all week. And then...

Yeah, I'm trying to think if there's any. Oh, at the Nashville Fairgrounds on Saturday, the Nashville Exotic Pet Expo 2023. So if you like snakes or anything like that, go check that out. Fun stuff to see. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, is there, yeah. Is there, are we missing any other touristy? What about Music Row? We used to work on Music Row. Is that a touristy spot? Definitely not the place I worked, but all the studios are down there. It's cool to drive through it.

I read about RCA Studio B. I guess that's the most famous one maybe. And over half of all the top songs for two decades were recorded in that studio, country songs. And Elvis made a Christmas album there in July, and he couldn't get in the Christmas mood, so they put up Christmas lights just to get him in the mood, and they still hang there today. Oh, wow. Is the hard rock still there?

Yeah, Hard Rock Cafe's still there. Hard Rock's still there, yeah. That's been there forever. I went there when I was a kid. It has. That was like the first big thing. That was the first big thing. And yeah, it's been there forever. I always forget it's there. Yeah. So you might think, ah, there's a reason to go to Hard Rock, but there's, I don't know. They've been there so long. And I always kind of like- Since the early 90s. Second Avenue was our street-

White Horse Saloon. Yeah, White Horse Saloon there. Second Avenue was a street that was – you'd go drive down it and listen to your music. People would listen to your music loud. That used to be – they don't do that now, but that was the big thing. Because downtown wasn't – I don't even know if it was really Broadway as much as – we would always just go up and down Second Avenue. Yeah, Second Avenue used to be bigger than Broadway. Yeah. And so, yeah, I think that's what happens. People always talk about, you go down Broadway and you're like,

It was kind of dangerous at one time. Yeah. But we'd always just go up and down 2nd Avenue. And then you'd drive your car. That was the big thing, go drive in the car. I mean, it was really treated like a small town.

Nashville back when you grew up. I mean, Nashville's great. Even though it wasn't until we got the Batman building. Right. Most of my life, I feel like if I go to Knoxville or Chattanooga or Memphis or whatever, they're all seeming about the same as Nashville as far as just the skyline. And now it's just night and day different. Oh, yeah. It's a good top golf.

Just give people some. Nashville's got a great little Topgolf. That's fun. There's a song. I forget the artist, but it's called The Boys on 16th Avenue. I think Morgan Wallen. I don't know. And I think if you're going to drive down, listen to that song. I think it's fun. I think it gives the- But if people want to go eat, eating is probably a big thing. Yeah. I'm not a foodie. Aaron? We need-

We say go to a food court. In Satco. In Satco. But that food court is really great. Yeah, yeah. We told you to go to two things that will cost you about $8. Yeah. Like, you know. But, yeah, we like Satco food. What's a big famous restaurant? Husk.

Husk is great. Yeah. Husk is awesome. Yeah. Husk is one of the best restaurants in the country, they say. Oh, what about the Pinewood Social? Get a little bowling. It's bowling. That's pretty fun. They got great sandwiches there. Yeah. It's a good spot for sure. There's an Arby's in Donaldson. The Gulch. Walk over to the Gulch. It's got restaurants. Yeah. Gulch is good. West End. Yeah.

West End's where Vanderbilt's at. Go to East Nashville. Check out some Five Points Pizza. Yeah. East Nashville's a cool area. That's right over across by Titan Stadium. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, man, this has got to be not great.

touring advice. I think we did all right. I think it started, I mean, at first we were talking about Antarctica for a while, but I think we did all right in the end. Yeah. Yeah. I just think, though, you're listening to me, like we're not, it sounds like you really live like a...

real tourist thing, they would have all this stuff written out. And we're just like, I said Topgolf. Yeah. I mean, I'm like, you know, stuff that's like... And the Hard Rock. Yeah. That's Topgolf and Hard Rock. Two things that are everywhere. Now, Hard Rock has been around a long time. I went there when I was a little kid. Yeah. The Hard Rock was a big deal when it came there. So I like the Hard Rock. I was trying to think of some more Nate Land stuff we've talked about that they could go see for themselves. And I can't really think of...

If you can find the goalposts that Nate carried to the fraternity house. Yeah, wherever that's at. Opry Mills, but. Yeah, no reasoning. Yeah, but I mean, you're in town. Go see downtown, like.

There's a good chance you'll see your parents at Chewy's or something at Opry Mills. Yeah, you might see them at Chewy's. Yeah. You've probably seen my dad walking around before the show. I've seen your dad at the grocery store two times. Yeah. Yeah. I ran into your whole family at a grocery store. Yeah. I like grocery store. Yeah. It's where the food's at. Yeah. That's why I'm there. Yeah. Yeah. I ran into Dusty at Starbucks. Messed me up, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I was going to the Starbucks and I see him come out. I go, Aaron Weber. And he turns around like he got caught doing something. He was like, I just, I just didn't expect to see you here. I'm like, yeah,

This is my neighborhood. I live around here. You live around here. You've dropped me off at home before. It's not so strange. It's just I wasn't expecting to see you, man. It just threw me off. I couldn't explain it. It changed my whole day. I was like, okay. I was like, I won't tell anybody I saw you here if you don't want me to. I was just in the zone on my phone, and then Dusty's there. Like, what is going on? Anyway. Is it like your work life? Like, it's not.

switched over. It's like seeing your teacher outside a classroom. Yeah. Whoa. And we've hung out outside of comedy before. It's not like that was totally odd. It just was weird. I'm sorry about that. That's okay. But you were like...

Like I caught you doing something. Yeah. It's like you're walking with your like regular friends and you got to go, hold on. Yeah. Like when, when the lane goes, talks to those bizarro, bizarro. Yeah. If he had friends, it would have even been more acceptable. If he had friends and he was just alone. Yeah. He was just alone.

Like you're in a different city. Like you got recognized in Italy. That's what it felt like. Yeah. But it was the Hermitage Starbucks. I mean, imagine I'm on a safari in Africa and then just Dusty's there. Right in front of the Home Depot. I'm there every other day. At the Hermitage Starbucks? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I've been in there all in that. Yeah. Sorry. It's like a Whataburger. If anybody wants to go to Whataburger, it's over in Hermitage, and you can see where this incident happened. Yeah, there's a new one to add to the list. Aaron, it's fun. Aaron does not talk to us outside of this podcast. I try not to. I try to leave it all on the pod. He goes, what do you guys want? Uh.

I'm the one working this weekend. You guys got a lot more time than I do. Yeah, it was last weekend. Yeah, we're all working this weekend. That's true. We're all working for you this weekend. Don't blow it. We're also in Johnson City. We are in Johnson City. We're in Johnson City. I'm excited about that. You know, the first time I really bombed was in Johnson City at the Comedy Club at a Holiday Inn. And it feels good to go back. Yeah.

I'm very excited. Well, now you get a bomb in front of the whole city. Yeah. Yeah. The Tri-Cities. Yeah. Everybody that's coming to all these shows, it means the world. And we can't, I cannot wait to do it. We have these guys and then my dad. And it's going to be a fun, it's going to be fun. It's going to be unreal. It's going to be probably emotional. It's going to be crazy.

I know I'll cry. Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be, yeah. I think I'm off the next week. It was a good like. Yeah, to take a break after this. Yeah, just to be like take it in. All right. Well, we'll all be there. Good deal. Good deal. I'm excited. See you at Bridgestone if you're coming. If not, we'll see you out on the road. We love you. Thank you. And we'll see you next week. Bye. Bye.
