Have you heard about the 2018 study that showed half of prenatal vitamins tested had unacceptable levels of heavy metals? No? Well, now you have. I'm Kat, mother of three and founder of Ritual, the company making traceability the new standard in the supplement industry. I remember staring at my prenatal vitamins and finding all these things I was trying to avoid. High amounts of heavy metals, synthetic colorants, and unnecessary ingredients.

So, at four months pregnant, I quit my job and started Ritual because I believe that all women deserve to know what they're putting in their bodies and why. I'm so proud of our prenatal vitamin. The ingredients are 100% traceable, it's third-party tested for microbes and heavy metals, and recently received the Purity Award from the Clean Label Project. You see, we trace like a mother because, let's be honest, no one cares quite like a mother. But don't just take my word for it. Trace for yourself with

Welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. I'm Nate Bates, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slay. Hello.

I gave you two names. Bates, Brian Bates. Bates, Brian Bates. Welcome back to the show. We're in it. Off to the races. Off to the races. It's already started. It's good to see everybody, man. I know. It's a hot podcast. Yeah. Feels good. This is a good one. We had a good weekend this weekend. It was very fun shows.

And I felt good with my hour. Uh, I don't know, but no, uh, he looked up on the screen to show it. Where was I? I was, I know just Richmond, Virginia last night, Greenville, Greenville, Jacksonville. Yeah. Jacksonville, Greenville and West and, uh, Richmond, Virginia. They were just terrific shows and very fun. So this video, that video we posted, Eric, uh,

I had him go out. I was like, just go do like one of those videos on your phone. Like this, you know, this make this line. I was like, just so we can post something to be like, thanks for coming out. You know? And he did it. And he said, it got, he came back and was like, Oh, it was very uncomfortable for him. Cause he was like walking to the line. Everybody kept looking at him. Yeah. And then I think someone that was kind of crazy on the street, uh, then started yelling at him and, uh, chased him for filming him.

No. We're filming him. Richmond's wild. Yeah. Yeah. Richmond was, the theater there is beautiful. And I mean, the shows were, I mean, we did four o'clock in

and a seven four o'clock Sunday was awesome. I mean, awesome. And four, four o'clocks are always like, they're good. I'm people like them, but sometimes that you can feel the energy be a little bit lower just because four o'clock and it's, you know, it's not your typical kind of, but they were, I mean, out of the gate, they were like, wow, this is, they were so great. Uh, Greenville was crazy as a big arena. And then Jacksonville as well. I mean, they were all great, just super fun. Um,

I love a daytime show. I wish I could do 12 p.m. comedy and then have the rest of the day. Yeah. I mean, it's a lot for people to get there. Like, I mean, I definitely like I don't mind a four o'clock shows, but ideally you just want it to be a seven o'clock show. But we it's it just depends on the place. Greenville. I mean, look, it was so many people do. How many is that? Seven thousand something like that.

Yeah, it was just... Yeah, it's crazy, man. It was crazy. Ghosts look like ghosts. Yeah. They were...

We sold those tickets twice. Yeah. We had to go sit in there and just real people. Yeah, they were just so good. I had a good... I walked down that tunnel right there on the bottom. Oh. So that was kind of fun. Like a real WWE type thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Royal Rumble. Yeah, you get to walk down there and... You have some fives along the way? No, no. You're blocked off. Oh, okay. I did when I walked out of the tunnel because they could...

People could, when you, they see you like right when you walk by. So I did a couple like, you know, waving at people and I walked out. Very, very, very nice people. I'm excited. Feel good about the hour. Had some good stuff. Going to Zaney's tonight. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, this comes out Wednesday. Are you doing new material tonight? Yeah.

Yeah, it was like one of those where you, I was like, I like some stuff. And then you're like, I need to go do it. I need to go say it. Yeah. You know, and I'm, you know, even though I'm tired, like we don't go out till Friday. And so I was like, I need to go. I just need to get, I need to say it again. And like, you know, kind of feel like, feel it like on a shorter set stuff, stuff kind of standalone. Let me just see what these jokes are really at.

Met Trevor Lawrence. Met Trevor Lawrence. What a wonderful person. Really? Oh, yeah. He's a nice guy. I love Trevor Lawrence. Oh, man. Big fan. Just the... Are you? I am. Yeah. Him and his wife, they've been together. They've known each other since they were five. Wow.

He's just, I mean, we hung out probably two hours after the show. He just met everybody, goes up and says, hey, how you doing? I'm Trevor. Like meets everybody. Just a wonderful, really wonderful person. Like you root for him. I told the Jacksonville Cow at the second night after we met him, I told him, I go, I met your boy Trevor Lawrence last night and everybody cheered. And I was like, it's crazy. He was like talking to me and he was like,

He goes, I just don't like this city, man. And I was like, what? And he goes, I just want to, I like Tennessee a lot. And I was like, dude, I hear you, man. And then it was very, they all started laughing. Then they chanted Duval. That's what they chant. Duval. It's their county. Yeah.

I did not know that. It sounded like booing. I assumed it wasn't booing. I assumed it was something, but I didn't know what it was. Weird to chant the county, though. Yeah. You know, they don't always just display the county as you're rolling into a place. No, no. I'm a big county fan. Yeah, yeah. I just did a show in Ponte Vedra, Ponte Vedra, outside of Jacksonville, and they had a big sign in the green room that said, don't worry, they're not booing you. They're just yelling. And it was like a whole explanation of that. Yeah.

I would not have known that going in. Yeah, yeah, I did not know that. And then we saw Derek Trucks and Susan Hadesky, me and Laura's old friends, and it was very fun to get to hang out with them and get to see them. Yeah, it was a fun, you know, those are all just good dudes. It was a very normal Hank. A lot of golfers, too. Like Augustine was down there, so then he had some golfing buddies come, and I'll

I played Saul grass where I texted Jason day picture of him when he won at the players. And then he won. I texted him Thursday. And cause I was in, cause they have pictures of the winners and they showed him and his daughter who was, you know, yeah. Who was a baby or she was two or something. And that's when he won there. And then, uh, and then look at this. And then he goes and wins this weekend. That's awesome. I mean, I had as much to do with it as he did. Yeah.

There's just no way. There's no way I'm not that involved in his win. He's worked very, very hard to get back to that point. He's got a PGA Championship coming up this week. It's very exciting. Big time, man. Yeah. Yeah, it was fun. Met some – I forgot the –

I got two drawings for some kids that was very sweet drawings. And I let they're on the bus. And then I also met some guys in Jacksonville. One guy gave me a challenge coin and now it's on the bus and I'll bring it back in. It's the guy I didn't really get to talk to the guy. He gave it to me. Such a cool challenge coin. And then what do you mean a challenge coin? We fought.

And it's like those coins right there. Yeah, yeah. No, it's like it's the military. They give the challenge coins. So the thing behind it, what it used to mean was – I mean, it still means this. I think it's a token of appreciation to now and like so people handle them out as that. So when I did USO tours, you'd get a bunch of coins. Okay. Yeah.

But it's what you would do it is you would if you were in the service and you had the coin in and you were getting a, you know, you're at the bar getting a beer and then you put your coin out. Well, if the other guy doesn't have his coin.

then you then he has to buy the round oh okay but if he has this coin i think then you have to buy the round and so it's a child like to see are you do you have your coin on you or not all right and if someone pulls it out and that's like the i think the history behind it and then now it's like uh i think it's maybe it's still that but it's also just a i think it's a appreciation or like a it's a very nice thing so it's an honor to be given one yeah somebody yeah yeah for sure yeah

Yes. And it was very easy to challenge people if they don't know what it is though. Like if someone put it out of the bar, I'd be like, Oh, that's cool. What is that? Yeah. He shotgunned a beer running for a minute. I go, and I had to buy it. He had the concession guy standing right next to him with that big tub. You're like, he's the one with the big, all right. And then, but it was, he gave me one. And I also got a hat, uh, from a guy in, uh,

Maybe the Navy I think the Navy I gotta see I'll wear it one day All this I left on the bus I get off the bus I forget everything But it was Very cool cool stuff This weekend Yeah it was fun Good deal It was a good time Alright What'd y'all do?

Dusty had a big weekend. Well, yeah. I filmed a one-hour comedy special. Wow. Sold out both shows. They did sell out at the Bijou in Knoxville, and it was great. Yeah. I mean, I did the first hour, and I was like, that's so good. I've got it. So the next show, I was very relaxed. I was relaxed the first one. I wasn't nervous at all about this. It just felt good. I was surrounded by good people. The audiences were hot.

And then, but the second show, I mean, I did the same jokes and did like 15 minutes more time. Really? I don't know how that, but I slowed down. I did extra parts to jokes. I got into it. Had a little guy that kept yelling out, but I was able to make it funny every time. And it was great. Yeah. Yeah. When you say a little guy. I don't know how big he was, but I just mean he was yelling out. Yeah. I don't know why I called him little. Yeah.

but I don't know the size of him at all. And based on the yell, I would say he was not that small. All right. Yeah. What do you think your show it?

I would like to kind of keep that first yell that he did. Because I think that was a fun moment. Yeah. But now no yee-yees, but I'm going to get the yee-yee joke going for the next set. I already had too many jokes in this one. Oh, that's good. So I'm, yeah, we're going to be all out. People can expect to see the yee-yee stuff. Yeah. Yeah. We're all out yee-yee next. I'm ready. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm sick of those jokes.

I mean, I've been telling them a long time and I like them, but I prepping for this. I got real sick of those jokes. Yeah. But it felt good. I mean, when you're up there, you're like, this is the last time I have to tell these jokes. I can still tell them if I want, but it's the last time I have to tell. Yeah. And it feels good. That is a wonderful feeling. Yes. When you know, I don't have to, because then you get there, you always have some stuff that you're just going to like, yeah, I like doing this more than that. And,

That's what I try to look at. You try to... This, like, my hour now, it's like I'm trying to be, like, putting the pressure on it to be like, all right, what do... Like, I should be able to get into everything and be like, I can't wait to say this. It might be impossible just because...

You get them all together at different times. So, you know, this stuff I was like in, we had some new stuff I talked about in Richmond and the, I did it at the beginning and I just liked the way I worded it all. And it was like, and it's new and it's, I'm trying to figure it out. So it's very exciting. So once I figure it out though, I mean, eventually that's, you're going to get like,

tired, you know, you'd be like, I'm kind of tired of it. But... Yeah, especially when you're... Then you're like wanting to record it. So now you're like... At a show, it's like it could still be loose. But at the recording, you're like, I want this to be tight. I want it to be very precise what I'm saying. At least that's how I approach it. And so...

You know, as you're working on it, you're like doing it over and over again. And you're like, I'm pretty sick of this. But when it came showtime, I was I took two days off. I didn't think about comedy at all. And so when I got out there, it was, you know, it's fun to say it. Yeah. Because you also have been working these jokes where it's like it's a pretty good chance this joke's about to work. So you get to roll into a joke with confidence. Yeah. Yeah.

And Knoxville was fun. I like Knoxville a lot. The people that came out was great. I had people from my high school come up to see me. I don't think so, but I'll give them a shot. I know they listen to the podcast, Kyle Hester and, oh gosh, Angela Vinaforo. They both came. I went to high school with them. It was great. Great to see them. They came to hang out with me after. It was awesome.

And, yeah, it was just great. I mean, Knoxville was fun. The night before, I was just sitting at the hotel with my opener, Alec Parent, and we were having some little cigars. And this girl, this lady is hanging out out there, and she seems a bit off, but she seems like a nice – she's drinking Tall Boys by herself. Yeah. And she's like, can I come sit with you guys? And we were like, yeah. And then she comes over, and she sits like in – we're sitting side by side on a park bench, and she wedges her way in between us. Oh, God.

And then starts wanting to tell stories. And it's like, she wants to, she goes, it's a long story. And I was like, well, we got time, you know, but we're being real jokey. You know, she's like, oh, you're going to let me tell my story. And I'm like, as long as we can interject our jokes and commentary, you can tell it. But then she would get into it and she'd get real emotional. And then she would just like freeze up.

Like it would seem like she was about to cry, but then her hands would like, and her feet would lift off the ground and she would just like freeze like for a long, uncomfortable amount of time. Like at one point she was like, I'm going to write a book. And we were like joking with her, like, well, why don't you do a one woman show? You know? And then she freezes up for like the fourth time. And I'm like, well, maybe the book is the way. Maybe written word is your, but then I saw Mike Kaplan was doing a show in town.

And we had time. So I thought, well, let's walk down and see Mike Kaplan. And I don't know him, but I thought it'd be fun to see the show. And she was like, well, I'll walk with you. And I was like, well, have you ever been to a comedy show? She said, no. And I go, well, if you get kicked out, you're on your own. And then, so we're walking and she keeps trying to like, she goes, I know you're married, but let me hold your arm. And I'm like, no, no, no. I was like, hold Alex arm. And Alec was nice enough to let her do that.

And then we get to the venue. We finally find it. And then I realize I'm like off a week on the date. There's no show at all. So now we've just strolled around the city with this lady. And then eventually she, I go into a store and she walks off and leaves Alec. And we just, we were free. I mean, we thought we'd never be free. And then suddenly we were. We saw her later at the hotel. So we know she made it back.

Was this woman barefoot? That's how I'm picturing her. She had slip-on shoes, and very often she would slip them off and be barefoot. She told us she lived in the woods in a house in Pennsylvania, in the middle of Pennsylvania. Her name was – she was going by Tam.

And someone you'd love. No, I love talking. Listen, I mean, I always find myself talking to the weirdest people and I love it. I mean, I am all about it. But at some point it's like sometimes you can't get away and you're like, this has been a fun time. But now I'm ready to like I'm ready to wrap it up. Yeah, I'm ready to break away. Get back into some normal conversation here. Tam is a good name. It is.

But it was fun, though. I mean, you know, I liked it. But yeah, she kept like one time she grabbed my arm and then about the time some guy was walking by, he goes, what's up, Dusty? And I'm like, oh, that's all I need. Yeah. So I was like, yeah. Went to high school with Hannah. They read on the Internet last night that Dusty is out with a strange lady. Yeah. It's a Kramer when he read on the Internet that Banya killed. Yeah.

Yeah, but she also was like, apparently her card stopped working at the hotel. And so the front desk guy was like this 21-year-old dude, and he just kept giving her beers out of the cooler. And I'm like, I don't think this is the way to go. I mean, I don't.

Where was it? What hotel were you in that they had beers in a cooler? Well, you know, like, well, not like a cool, you know, like a, I don't know what you would call it. Like the kiosk? Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't like. She's paying for them. Igloo, styrofoam cooler. I think it's being charged to the room, but they were saying her card wasn't working. Yeah. So. Or credit card wasn't working. Yeah. They were like, we know she's got money, but her card's not working. I'm like, well, how do you know she has money? Yeah. It's like she's borrowing a home. If my card's not working, that's not a good thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

How are they going to get DeRoon paid for?

I don't know. What was she wearing? Well, she, you know, she was dressed normal, but she had slip on shoes. Like a dress. Like she thinks she's part of a wedding or she said she was down because her daughter just graduated from law school. Yeah. And then she told me she was a widow, but when she got into the story, she was divorced and the guy that she, I guess, loved died, but they were never married. And the story was just like,

She wanted to tell it, but then she would get like real emotional and it would just take her. So, and I was like, we don't have to talk about this. This is your idea. Yeah. Well, no, nobody's ever given her the opportunity. Yeah. Her whole life. Nobody's been like, you have the floor for the next few hours. So just go ahead. And I, yeah, I had quite a bit of a cigar and I was trying to save my voice. I was like, I have time. I can sit and listen. Yeah. But I was like, you gotta be, you can't be freezing up like this.

But it was only during the story. Once she wasn't telling that story, she wasn't freezing. If she would have nailed the story, would you have given her time on your show? Yeah, I would have fired Alec and had her open the show. That's fun. That's good stuff. I was in Denver, Colorado. Comedy Works. Just great club. Perfect weekend.

All the shows are great. They gave me a headline in date there. All right. Comedy Works is a big deal. August 6th. Yeah. The Downtown Clubs. I'm pumped about that. That is awesome. Great club. Yeah. Thanks. Yeah. I was in San Diego. First time ever in San Diego. Mic Drop Comedy Club. Great shows. Met a lot of nice folks. Went to the San Diego Zoo. Yeah. Did some research on the animals. Oh, yeah. One of the nicest zoos anywhere. Yeah. Yeah.

and it was great yeah what kind of weird animals did you see i mean i saw some animals i didn't even know what they were um but it's funny all these animals are so big and ferocious when you see them that you every one i was like i think i mean i'd walk in i'm like i think this cockatoo could take the whole thing yeah you know and then you just see them and more and more i tell you what though i saw a polar bear and i saw a tiger that polar bear was so big yeah they're huge right and

And the tiger, maybe he's just not eating well these days. He was smaller than I expected. You know, half of them, more than half, most of them were asleep. Yeah. So you're just looking at them laying there. But the polar bear was huge. That's my problem with the zoo. I'm like, wake up. You know, people are here.

That's your problem with the zoo. The animals aren't working hard enough for you. They sleep during the day. Yeah. That's why night zoo is great. Oh, yeah. If you go, when I did, you know, when I went to Singapore, they had a night zoo. And it's the best zoo I've ever been to. And they're so active and so loud. And it's like kind of scary because you just hear roars. I mean, it's wild. It's their time. It's their time. I have to say.

I had a run in this weekend at the Rocky mountain national park with a wild Turkey. Oh yeah. Yeah. It was just kind of sitting on the trail and I kind of just gave it some space. It made me rethink the whole baboon versus the Turkey thing. Cause it was, it was pretty scary when it gets going. Yeah. You know, and it's,

bobbing its head at you and it's got big talons and claws i think it made you rethink it until you run into a baboon on the trail yeah you're probably right and then you're like whoa whoa if i had to run in with a baboon i would have led with that on the podcast and not just remember yeah yeah that would be it's like a dude walking up you know

Well, baboons, I got as close as me and you to the baboons through some very thick glass. And yeah, I wouldn't want to mess with them either. They're all pretty intimidating. They work out. Someone posted that cassowary video. The cassowary. Some kids talk about the cassowary. The cassowary, I'm telling you what.

We've got a couple of Cassowary comments. Yeah, okay. I don't even know this animal existed, but I'm convinced it's pretty ferocious. It's awesome. I think it's awesome. It's moving up. Hey, Cassowary. That doesn't flow as good as hay bear. Let's start with some of you guys' comments. First up, Joey Duggan. Brian seems like he'd throw a knuckleball, possibly not on purpose. Yeah.

Well, that's true. You're talking about my first pitch, the Sounds game, I assume. And, yeah, there's a good chance that there won't be a lot of rotation on it. Yeah. Well, when you're so good, sometimes you throw a knuckleball when you don't even intend to. What if I tell you, though, that I have some news?

And I didn't mean it to be this. I already know what it is. I've already told it at my show this weekend. Somebody booed. Yeah. What's the news? I'm throwing the first pitch out the week before. I was not happy about that. May 27th. I don't mean it. Is it more than a week? Mine's July 4th. Yeah. Oh, so it's way different. You have the bigger date.

You have Memorial Day weekend. That's pretty good. That's not July 4th. No, that's not. You have July 4th. I honestly, I never in a million years would have done this. I just wouldn't have done it. But you did do it. Because we're going there with Harper's softball team. Oh, okay. That's the only reason. Okay. And it was like, you know, I'm doing it to impress my own daughter. Right. So that's why I'm doing it. Well, now you guys can do pitching practice together. Yeah. Yeah.

I'll give you a lay of the land of how it goes. You have the bigger date. Aaron texted me the day before about it. And then you, and then Abby texts me the next day. I said, Hey, give me that contact. And I was like, why? And she said, Nate wants to have the first pitch July 4th. And I said, the same day as me. Yeah.

And then later on, I texted her and I said, is he really? And she said, well, yeah, he's doing it May 27th. And then that night at my show, somebody asked, hey, you been warming up from stage? And I said, yeah, get this. Nate's throwing out the first pitch May 27th. And somebody in the back goes, boo. And I said, yes. Does this guy not have enough attention he has to steal my thunder? It's – I don't know what to tell you. I don't want to do it. I mean, I do want to do it. I mean, I wanted – I've never thrown a first pitch out. I do want to do it. It is –

And never in a million years take everything out of it. I'm doing it because Harper's team and I want to do it for that. That's so take, there's zero ego in this. It just, you know, I was even like, do I want to, maybe I don't do it, but,

It's hard to get to a sound. I don't know when I can get to one and we're going and then you're like. It sounds like a Nate Land takeover. I like it. I think they have asked. You've got to get in on this. Yeah, I'll get in in a couple of years. Yeah, there we go. We're all doing it. You have the biggest. We agree none of us do July 4th. I'll need two years of practice. That's his. July 4th is the big. That's Debates Day. It's the day America was founded. Yeah.

Supposedly, right? I see. Who knows? Who knows, really. And it was the day Brian Bates was founded on that mound. Yeah. They'll make the AAA championship, Game 7. What if they ask you, you pitch so good, they ask you to join the team? What will you do? I mean, if it doesn't affect this, I'll consider it. Okay. Hmm.

You would draw a line in the sand and say, I got to be able to do the podcast every Monday. Dedicated. That's very nice of you. Well, that's what they want. That's very sweet. You'll promote the games. Yeah. Okay. And then he'll go and, you know. They'll pull you after an inning. You could throw so slow. You're like, I'm tired. You could throw so slow that a batter would be like, I can't hit it. That happens sometimes. They're like, this guy's throwing nothing but chain jumps out here. It's an e-fist, it's called.

And sometimes when an infielder comes in and they do that and it throws them off. Doug Bockler, our friend, who's a big fan of the podcast, he's the pitching coach for Toledo Mudhens. Maybe I could get him to, because I'm guessing Sonny Gray will probably be training you.

Oh, to train? No, I don't know if I was. He was, by the way, like the best pitcher in baseball this season. He has the best DRA in baseball right now. Yeah. Look at that. Sonny Gray, we got his jersey hanging up. Yeah. He's on the podcast. Okay. Yeah. I wanted him over you, but he pitches for the Twins. Yeah. Sonny's the best. Vandy, local Nashville, Smyrna. Yeah.

And he said if he throws a no-hitter, he'll say hello, folks, in the press conference. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't think he'll remember. Did he say that on the podcast? He did. Okay. But that's been a while. That's before Haybear was even a thing. Yeah.

We can maybe, maybe after podcast today, me and you can go throw. Yeah. Just go throw, we can warm up. Do you have gloves? Yep. I think I've got one in my trunk. Yeah. Oh, you got, oh, there you go. You think, you know, you put it in there. I do. I know exactly where it's at. I might have one. Brand new, still got the tags on it. Is it under your golf clubs? Yeah. Yeah. Heather Bauer, regarding Mr. Belding doing standup, maybe breakfast needs to be in control of the computer and searching again.

Oh, look at this. Why is that? Mr. Belden doing stand-up at Flappers Comedy Club. I've been to Flappers. Nate was right. All right. But I don't know. All right. But he's like older here. Like, has he always been a comic or did he do it after? No, no, no, no. I'm talking about now. Okay. But I'm talking about this. I didn't know this. This is not on his Wikipedia page. Don't get mad at me. Get mad at Wikipedia, you know? Yeah. I don't know what he's talking about, but he got a jacket that matches his shirt. Yeah.

You think he's doing Saved by the Bell jokes? Yeah, he looks good, to be honest. Yeah, he does look good. He looks happy. Yeah, he's in his 70s, so that's... Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. Derek Cochran. My nephew represented Dusty at his high school graduation. Oh, that's cool. Oh, yeah, I saw that this morning. Look at this. Look at that. On the graduation kit. Wow. That's what I'm talking about. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah.

I wish Dusty believed in that education. Well, that's true. I mean, it's a good time because he's graduating. Is his yellow for something? Like, is he something? If you have a sash like that, yeah, that means something. Maybe he's National Honor Society. Maybe he graduated with honors. I got smart fans. I mean, that's a super smart fan. He's got like a special thing. And that other person's hat is white. They might not even graduate. Yeah. They've given up. That's a surrender. They're like, we'll let you sit out there, but...

You're not getting anything. And then they go, we'll put a white hat on you. That's what I did in college. What? Where I didn't graduate on time, technically, because I failed a class my senior year. Yeah. So I walked out there and they gave me the diploma. There's a fake. There's nothing in it.

I feel like a real fraud doing that. And then you're like, I want to just go back and get it. I finished two credits short, so I had to go back to summer school. But they were like, you're going to walk with your class. But you walk up and you shake their hand and they hand you the booklet and you open it up and there's just nothing inside of it. That's kind of Notre Dame education I like. You know what? I like to see it. You're like, I failed. That happens probably constantly, right? Yeah, a few of my friends went through the same thing. You didn't want to walk with the summer graduates? No.

No, I don't even think they have a ceremony for the summer graduates. I could have walked technically the next year. What'd you fail? I would have yelled fake. Fake. Oh, logic? Logic. Oh, man, I could have told you that. It's the hardest class I've ever taken. I failed it twice. Like illogic?

Logic. Formal logic was the name of the class. So what's the logic? It's almost like math. That's the only class I would have passed. If A is B, then it's all written out like math. Why'd you take that? Because I needed it to get a degree in philosophy. It was like one of the main requirements. So you have a degree in philosophy? I have a minor in philosophy because I failed that class twice. What's a major? A major would have been like an actual degree. What is your major? Marketing. Oh, okay.

That's like a weak major, isn't it? You think that's weaker than a philosophy? But you're good at marketing. Well, philosophy feels like... It's paid off. Yeah, but marketing... See, this is what formal logic is. It looks like this. It's all just equations like this that you have to solve. And I was so bad at it. Yeah, what's the point of it? What's the logic behind it?

That's what I should have asked them. Yeah. What's the logic behind this class? Yeah. Logically, I don't see how this would help me in anything. For philosophy? Yeah. What would that show you? What would they talk about? It's just, it's how arguments are structured and how...

The great philosophers were great mathematicians, weren't they? That's crazy. A lot of them were, yeah. But who would go, all right, P, P, dash, Q, underline, Q. Like, I mean, that's got an R and a triangle. Like, what does the R mean? These are variables. So they could mean whatever. So you can plug in statements for these, you know, for any of these variables. The triangle means delta. It's the change, you know. So it's saying, so R, give me, like, R is, like...

So let's say A is Dusty has a dog. Yeah. B is the dog is brown. Yeah. So it's B does not follow A because, you know, they're not related at all. I mean, that was a horrific example, but that's the kind of stuff you plug in statements like that. And then when do you show this? Are you just talking R, B, C? Like, I mean...

It's just, to me, it feels, this is what I always, this is what I feel. I feel it is. If you played it, if you explain this dumb, it would make sense. But then they go, well, we're going to add some, they make it super hard by putting a triangle. It was so hard. And I passed every other requirement to get a philosophy degree except this. So it's like, I clearly didn't need that. So you didn't go back and pass this?

No, I failed it twice. And I was like, so I had to take classes over the summer and I just took other classes. Did you take a foreign language? I gave up. No, I didn't take a foreign language. How many people in your classes were failing this? Not many. Okay. I didn't go to this class very often. What letter were you of the class? Were you like the C of the class?

And then the R and the B were like, yeah, we got to deal with this. R and B equals graduates and C equals. I was the Z, yeah. Yeah, you were the Z. Z is, so it's. They were like bad mouthing you. Let me see that example of form logic. Premise, all spiders have eight legs. Black widows are a type of spider. Conclusion, black widows have eight legs. You see that? Yeah, that makes sense. See how that works? So it's like just showing you like the logical thing that you would take from that.

Yeah, but statement. Right. And just breaking it down to the math of that so that you can. Why would you need math of it so you can plug it in? Where? What are you plugging it in for? What do you mean? I don't know what the like. All right. That's formal logic. If you told me that's the example of formal logic. Yes, that's the example of formal logic. I don't know what. What would that equation be?

So all spiders have eight legs is Y. Okay. And again, remember, I failed this class. I'm not the best defender. Oh, I can't wait for the comments. And the Y is just a letter you're making up. Yeah, those are just very... It could be... It's just like in math. It could be C. It could be anything. Yeah. Okay. The logic majors are going to come for you. So all spiders have eight legs is Y. Yeah. And then B is black widows are a type of spider. So Y, B. And then C is black widows have eight legs. Yeah.

No, that's not how you would do it. But you got the idea. The answer would be YB. It is funny we're trying to learn this from a guy that failed it twice. Maybe the only guy in the whole school that failed this class twice. I don't know exactly. And we're like, how do you do it though? He's like, I don't know. I don't know. That's the stuff that I don't understand is like if it's –

Example formal logic is explained in this very simple way. Why does it get so complicated? This is the type of class I'd like to take now. When I was that age, college age, I would have hated it. But now I would like to take this. I'm not going to, but I would like to. But I remember thinking, I'm taking philosophy to not do classes like this. That's just math. But I know that's what I mean. If you do philosophy...

What job would you have if you were a philosophy major? I don't know. I could have gone to law school. Teach philosophy. I could have taught philosophy. It's like a pyramid scheme. You'd go to law school? You'd go to law school for debate? Yeah. I could have gone to... So philosophy is like learning how to debate? No. No. You remember, we did a whole episode on philosophy. I don't remember much, but it's... All right, but then why would law school benefit from...

Or why would a philosophy degree benefit you as a lawyer? Oh, yeah. Because a lot of it is how arguments are structured. Yeah, that's why. Yeah, so there's a little bit of a parallel there. Okay. You're right. Well, the reason I asked about foreign language is maybe you should have done Babel. Oh.

Oh boy. Well, who needs to take a foreign language class in college when you have Babbel? It's my go-to travel hack. Whether you're a seasoned traveler like myself or you're going on your first adventure, communication is key to fully experiencing a new culture. That's where Babbel comes in. It's the language learning app that sold more than 10 million. What? Subscriptions. Thanks to Babbel's easy bite-sized language lessons, you can learn

there's still time to learn a new language before you reach your destination. They came straight from a velociraptor in Jurassic Park, thought this would be relevant to the animal fights. Wow. Interesting that they say that, and then they say that they think dinosaurs evolved into birds. Maybe all along we've just been finding cassowary bones. Every one of those dinosaur bones is a cassowary? Well, every one of the bones is a cassowary.

The feet are gnarly. They do look like dinosaur footprints. They're like, oh, yeah, it's a dinosaur, but the dinosaur evolved into a bird. And they're like, well, maybe it was just always a bird. Well, some of the video, you don't have the video. Of what? Of the Irwin's son. I thought I saw that. Oh, on Tonight Show? Yeah. I don't. Did they have a cassowary? It was on Letterman. It's on the Nate Land podcast, I think. Okay. Like reposted.

or something maybe i i don't i think the people in this video don't know what chases mean but yeah i don't yeah i'm not trying to get a little disappointing but if you see instagram and go to like the nate land podcast you know uh he talked about how mean they are yeah oh this thing yeah it does kind of charge at you and it's got no arms you know obviously it's a bird so it looks a little odd when it lunges at you

This one's all caged up. Basically, what he says is their legs are strong enough to take down a lion. They can kill a lion. So they don't need a gun. Yeah. Oh, that was the emu. That was the emu. Do they live in the same area as a lion? Yeah. It's near. They can get to each other. I think. I'm saying that I have no, zero idea if they do or not. But yeah, they live. Yeah, the cassowary is going to be, it's going to be tough to beat.

It's going to be, I like it a lot. Is it going to fight this leopard or are they just kind of showing it back and forth? Again, I'm a victim to a lot of clickbait YouTube titles today. This is Cassowary fights leopard. It's not happening. Oh, it looks like a dead cassowary. Look, he's got fur in his mouth. Never mind. We don't know if that's a cassowary.

We don't know. Yeah, we don't know what's going on. But between fact and fiction, the thing says it's between fact and fiction. A cassowary is the real deal. I mean, they're definitely not big, but their legs are crazy. And I think they're just relentless. They're still sucking gas. I mean, you got to realize the idea that they're... I've been chased by a goose before. I mean, birds can get wild. I mean, they can... Goose are really mean.

This one's doing a car jack. This one's trying to break into a car. I think it's looking at its reflection. And so, yeah, I mean, you got to think mentality of like wanting to fight and cassowaries like feel like they want to fight. So that mentality goes a long way within a fight. Like, you know, I picture like this is like a tiger and a polar bear. A tiger feels like it wants to fight and a polar bear doesn't.

So that plays a lot into it. So something could be big, and if they have to fight, they're going to fight. But that's why a grizzly bear will beat a polar bear. That's when they have fought, because they're just so much more aggressive. The polar bear is bigger, but the mindset of the polar bear doesn't want to fight. Its whole body is white, so it blends into the snow. It wants to be left alone. And grizzly bears are like...

I want to get after it. You don't think there's any camouflage involved with a grizzly bear in its color? You just don't think about them like a polar bear. Yeah, there is, I guess, brown. But a polar bear is literally like, I'm going to go live in the area that's only... Polar bears cover up their nose so their prey can't see them. That's how smart they are. Because they're scared. Oh, okay. They cover them up because they hear a helicopter and they go, you know.

Airplane flying over until they talk with their nose covered. JS, the Nashville Zoo has a cassowary. I think we need the four of you to go check it out in person and teach us more about that insane bird. We should go down to the Nashville Zoo and do that. I think we're taking Eleanor for the first time either later this week or next week. Yeah, I'm probably going to go right before that.

Right before we get there? Right before we get there, I'm going to take Eleanor through it. Yeah, I'm going to go get her and take her. And then as you get there, I'm going to hand her and go, I just showed her everything. You're like, I just did this for my daughter. Yeah. No, for Eleanor. Oh, you just did it for your daughter. Yeah. Yeah, go see the cassowary. I'll report back. Ian Rice, writing to you from Maine, home of the University of Maine Black Bears and where our state animal is the moose.

I have to take issue with Aaron's assertion

Right? Yeah. Assertion that black bears and moose live in two different parts of the country. So this doesn't happen. I assure you they do coexist. Yeah. A lot of people said something about that to me. And you know what? I feel like I've matured on this podcast over the last few years. And part of maturing is admitting you're wrong. You're wrong. And I was wrong about that. It's a big thing. People just want to hear that out of you. Is that the first time I've done that on this podcast? Probably. I thought about.

lawyer in my way out of that but i said you know what i'm man enough now you are the grizzly bear of this podcast aggressive yeah and a lot's really happening to you on this podcast today what do you mean well you you're having trouble with the google people have been uh coming at you about your yeah yeah well he failed can't be a loss to minor and philosophy how is that embarrassing

To have a minor in philosophy? When you are going, when you go for a major and you know everybody knows you went for that major and then it has to be a minor. Like, when do you flip it? Were you going to have two majors? I was a double major until the last day. Yeah. Yeah. So the very last day. And then it was a major. Well, that feels good. You're like, you know what? Who needs two majors, really? Right. I was overextending myself the whole time. Look at all these other people just won. I was shooting for two, you know?

Were you the first Weber to get two majors? No, my brother double majored there, and my sister did, actually. I was the first to not. Wow, the opposite. You really let your family in. At least you showed them becoming a stand-up comedian. Kyle Shields. I'm always impressed by Nate's random knowledge of very specific things.

For example, his understanding of the physics of a car moose accident is completely accurate and yet of no use entirely living in Tennessee. Growing up as a New England native, this was drilled into us new drivers and Nate has done us proud. Thank you. Yeah, I did. I mean, I just first showed it up there. That was drilled into me. When you hear that there's a chance as you're driving through the night.

You're not going to know what happens, but a moose body will land on your whole windshield. It sticks in there. Yeah, I wouldn't say that's useless. I mean, we drive all over the country, or at least have driven all over the country. So we need to know about moose car accidents. I didn't know it. I've driven all over the place and didn't know it. I mean, I've probably thought about it every single day since I've heard it. Every time you drive? I think about it, it pops up in my head, the visual of it a lot. I picture a big barrel-like body.

And then you just, the legs give out and that just falls through the windshield. Yeah. That's what I picture. That's what you have dreams about. I don't have dreams of it. I wake up in a cold sweat. No, these are during the day. These are just, I'm walking around. I'm at Publix. I could be at Target and I'm just. That's almost like visions. I have visions of it. Yeah. Has anyone ever complimented you on your understanding of physics before? No. You should have majored in physics. I should have.

Yeah, I could have been minored at it. I think I think I'm already minored. I think before I even got there, it showed up. I'd be a minor. Yeah. Well, Aaron sees a black bear driving. He's like, well, at least I don't have to worry about any moose running out in front of me. Yeah. Laugh it up. Yeah. That was foolish, though, Aaron. You should be ashamed of that. Christian Moscoso.

Moskoso. I think that's right. I think that's right. Christian Moskoso. That's a good choice of names. I think that's a great name for that last name. Moskoso. Christian Moskoso. Yeah, I really do. I think they really go together. I think it was Joe Moskoso. Yeah. It's got a good flow. This guy might be a Christian. I don't know. Joe Moskoso rhymes. Yeah. I'm actually, as I said, Joe, I don't hate Joe. Yeah.

Bill Moscoso. I don't even mind that. I'm trying to find a name. Philip Moscoso. I don't know. That has a ring to it. Yeah. I think the last name is just great. It is a good last name. Moscoso. Dusty Moscoso. There you go. That's hard to pair together. Yeah. Yeah, that doesn't make sense. You're like, well, what's that about? Dennis Moscoso? Yeah. It's not bad either. You need Dusty. Yeah, it needs to be Dusty. Our Christian.

Baboons are a huge problem for farmers. So the way they deal with them is by catching one of them and painting it white. Then they release it. And as it runs back to its group, it scares them. So they, it scares them. So they run away from it and keeps following them. So they keep running, et cetera. That's kind of hilarious. And that's, I Googled this and,

Apparently, they do that for a lot of monkeys, not just baboons. And wildlife people say, this does not work. Please stop painting the monkeys. But it's a thing that people in Africa do. Well, the wildlife people are not farmers, so they don't know. Yeah, that's true. That's true. We need to ask a farmer about this. Yeah. How do they paint it white? Just like spray paint? I don't know. Or get it drunk?

It passes out. They do white out. Yeah. Yeah. I don't imagine they have like their special kind of fur paint because there's stuff like that for like dogs and stuff. You've seen that people paint their dogs. Really? Yeah. I bet they have something that just like explodes on the like an airbag type. Oh, OK. Maybe they should bleach the fur. And then it's like, oh, no. And then it runs back. Bleach the fur. Yeah. Like M&M.

Or you in high school. I like the...

your comment on that, they're not farmers. Because that is true. Yeah. That's like, you want to go, you know, it's like, well, this village doesn't know what they're doing. You're like, this village has been doing this for maybe hundreds and thousands of years. Yeah, longer than you've been aware of it. They might be like, it worked. Yeah. You know. And then just someone in a building goes, that doesn't work. Yeah, it's worth trying if the baboons are destroying your farm. Yeah. Literally, if you're like, they're getting our...

Yeah, I mean, even a rabbit, one little cute rabbit can come into your yard and eat all the crops you've been growing. Just like that. It could be like, oh, this rabbit's so cute. And then it just eats everything you've been working to grow. Something happened to you. Yeah, what happened? Several times. Rabbits, deer, groundhogs, they'll just eat everything you've been working to grow. It's like they don't care. They don't care. They don't have a lot of feelings towards.

Yeah. And they don't even say, like if the rabbit came up, tapped on the door and was like, hey, appreciate that, then it's acceptable. I think that's the difference between us and them. Yeah. At least be appreciative. Don't just take it.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Like, be like a cat that brings a bird to your... Yeah. That's kind of offering. That's like, I appreciate that. Yeah. I don't want it, but like, yeah, it's very nice. You did bring a gift. You brought something. Yeah. You went out of your way. Yes. And did something right. And that's appreciated. Yeah. Yeah. So it all makes sense. Paul Emmy Mueller. I'm surprised at Aaron's insistence. God.

It's just attack Aaron day here. Brian was in a mood putting these together. Yeah. I mean, I had so many to wade through. I just picked some of the best. I'm surprised at Aaron's insistence that the elephant would not be aggressive. In ancient times, elephants were used in war. They would sometimes put armor on elephants, get them drunk, and then have them charge into tightly packed enemy soldiers. Yeah, that's cool. But you're kind of...

Exactly. That's the point I'm trying to make. You say they're aggressive. They would be great in this fight because they were used and manipulated by human beings back. Yeah, they got them drunk. Yeah, I'm talking about the opposite. I'm talking about something that can't be manipulated, can't be used by human beings. And it's just a warrior out there. Now, people pointed out something I mentioned on this podcast previously, how an elephant trampled a woman.

And then showed back up at her funeral and trampled her dead body again. Right. Very aggressive. Yeah. So there's one particular elephant that had vengeance in its heart. Yeah. So that, but that's a different argument, I think. He said this. Yeah. I don't know. They were used in war. He said this example was in the Bible in one Maccabees that you would know it. Oh, no. Just because we have that book doesn't mean we read it, but that's not really in all of them. What do you mean? Well, Maccabees. Yeah.

I don't know. It's in the Catholic Bible. In the original King James. You did your own Bible? Yeah. Could I write my own Bible? You could. Yeah. There's a comedy Bible, so yeah. Yeah, yeah. I watched a comedy Bible. But I mean, take on the Bible. What would your spin be?

I don't think that's encouraged, but you can. I think Thomas, one of them wrote that one. Thomas Jefferson. I don't know. Ben Franklin maybe wrote his own version of the Bible. Oh, okay. Yeah. I mean, he didn't. Maybe Thomas Edison. Yeah, he might have. Ben Franklin's version. I think he, I don't think he wrote it, but I think he like took some books out and was like, this is the Ben Franklin Bible. It was a little bit shorter. Yeah. Oh, I could do that. I could take some books out. Yeah, that's easy. Yeah.

But yeah, that is. Oh, you want to just write your own from scratch. Oh, I thought that's what they do. So they just add books and take books. I think the Catholic Bible, like Maccabees is in some other stuff, but I think they're saying the Catholic Bible, Maccabees is part of it. But like other Bibles, it's not in there. Why would not all the Bibles just have everything in? Because they have disagreements with each other about what should be in there. Yeah, I think some of the scripture, some people don't feel like it was doctrine or. Yeah. Mm hmm.

Ronald Mitchell.

The next animal fight bracket should include ants versus dusty after you drink several bottles of water. Well, I had a bet that I put out about peeing on ants. Yeah. And I would win. I mean, every time. That's why the ant, the whole podcast that we did versus ants. I mean, I would, I would win. I would beat the ants. But it's two and a half million ants to one. Nah, doesn't matter. You gotta drink a lot of water. Yeah. You gotta drink a lot of water. What if you run out of ammunition? And I don't even know if that kills them. No, it doesn't kill them, but it,

It will slow them down. Messes up their day. Yeah. Yeah, it messes up their day and they just go, all right, just weather the storm for a second. I just toy with them for a while. Yeah. I mean. I don't know how long you pee. Start and stop that much. Ants, they got nothing on me. Yeah. Two million of them. I'll take those out in a couple of hours. Yeah.

Matt Pittman, just finished listening to the Animal Fights episode. It reminded me of a debate me and my friends have been arguing about for years. In a fight to the death, would you rather take on one lion or 100 seagulls? I'd rather take on 100 seagulls. I'd rather take the seagulls. No, I'd take the lion all day. Really? Seagulls are vicious, and there's 100 of them. I don't think you're grasping how many that is. I think I just saw a video of a seagull eating a pigeon.

That was a pelican. Pelican, yes, it was. Okay. Yeah, I'm going seagulls then. It's going to be even... I know that they're... I mean, the movie Birds, the Alfred Hitchcock movie, which I've actually watched that movie. The Birds. Tippi Hedren. Yeah. And so... Is that those seagulls? These are seagulls. Yeah. And so, like, yeah, it would be pretty wild. Do you get a weapon in this battle? No. And...

So you just got to fight them. And so it's, I mean, you could just, you know, it's like you could grab the birds. I think the birds you could maybe get away and you wouldn't have that much damage where a lion, like, I mean, you imagine it starts eating you and you're still alive. Like it's... Yeah, I'm going seagulls all day. It's just the lion is just so powerful that... There's just a hundred of them, dude. I know, but... They would just envelop you and just... Big word. Yeah.

They would just be around. I feel like you needed to use that word today because you've been attacked for your education. Yeah. See, that was like a kind of a clap back word to the audience to go. Don't forget, I minored in philosophy. Right. I know we're all having fun here. Yeah. I have a major and a minor. For sure. Yeah. Almost double major.

Unlike my brother and sister. So close to a double major. Yeah. My brother and sister, my family, most of my family is double majors. And I was close. I'm the rebel. With only one. Your parents have a... My mom does. My dad doesn't. But my dad has a master's. Yeah. I mean, so you're like the bottom. Like, do they talk to you pretty easy at home? Yeah.

They talk much slower when they talk to me. Say, Aaron, we love you, but we're disappointed. Right. Yeah, see, it's the opposite for me. I have two older sisters, and neither one of them graduated high school. I'm the first to graduate high school. I'm like the scholar. Yeah, how about it? It's cool, man. Congratulations. Yeah, I do not think... I think I would do sequels. But Lion is just...

I don't know if you could ever, you could at least beat

I'm just going off what I could beat. You could beat up seagulls. A lion, you're really going to never... I mean, how are you going to kill a lion with your hands? I don't know. But I think this is a lose-lose. I don't think the seagulls is going to be easy, dude. Yeah, I don't think there's a correct answer. There he goes, lion. And you're like, God. Yeah, I mean, I agree. I think it's no chance with the lion. So at least you're like, I don't know. These are just birds. Maybe I can do it. They wouldn't peck you?

Is that how they would... Yeah, dude. Look at... Yeah, they would just... I mean, they basically be like little... The beaks are... Yeah, it's just like... I mean, they would just be pulling at your... It'd be getting pinched. Yeah, by a hundred. By a hundred, like, and super fast. Just... But, I mean, they got to fly. And they're making noises, dude. Yeah, they're loud. It's a loud fight, dude. It's...

Oh, gosh. I mean, the insanity of like how annoying that fight would be. If I think if you can get one by the head, you can swing it around and it's a weapon. Yeah. Oh, interesting. And if you can get a couple, now you got a couple weapons. Interesting. Just flapping them around. Yeah. Ripping off beaks, using your own little beaks now on your fingers. They might start fighting each other. Yeah. There's a hundred of them. Like they're going to get in there. They're going to... I mean...

They're going to get They're going to trample Some of them on their own Yeah Okay And that's like A lion is like Yo it's just me and you But even if they killed ten There's still ninety of them That's something With a lion He's just looking at you Going it's me and you And you can I mean you could really like Put the head of a Like in your fingers like this With their neck And like slip it out And I think he could Rip their head off Yeah Yeah I think he could

Wheeler Garrett, the topic of who would win a fight between a moose versus bear became a heated argument for my friend group in high school and ended up leading to the biggest argument we ever had. My friend, Sam Snyder, claimed he could beat 12 12-year-olds in a fight. Half their friend group said this was ridiculous. The other half, not so much.

We even went as far to ask our friend's 12-year-old brother to rally up 11 of his friends. It's been years, and we still fight over this sometimes. So they were... The topic of who would win a fight between Moose versus Bear became a heated argument from our friends group. Oh, and led to the argument of that. Could you beat 12 12-year-olds in a fight? Girls or boys?

I guess it's boys. It all depends on how vicious you can be, right? If you're just playing, I think they take you. Yeah. But if they're like, this is vicious, then you, I think you could win. Mm-hmm.

this all of a sudden feels a lot more serious than the other ones. Well, the size of the 12 year old kids. I mean, some of these kids are, well, that's true too. I mean, that's just, yeah, but they still don't have your, your mentality is just so different. Yeah. Like you're, you know, if you're older, you are, you're like, I'll do this to the death. And if you're 12, you're going to,

be like, well, I don't want to get hurt. Yeah, you've never even thought about that. There's a point where you gotta go. You gotta have a life to live. Yeah. You pop a couple of them quick, I think they're gonna... And are these 12-year-olds neighborhood kids or are they, you know, living out on the streets? I think it's... I think that's an argument that can go either ways. Do I think he can beat up 12-year-olds? I don't know. I think I do know and the answer is no. Yeah. It's really gonna be the... Who's the guy fighting? Yeah. What is your, you know...

I'd have to see a 12 year old. I don't know what a 12 year old looks like. Harper's 10. Yeah. Harper 12. Harper's going to take me. Yeah. Yeah. He's got two more years left and then she's really going to start running her mouth at him. Yeah. Tell us about electric e-bikes. If you're still thinking about your mom this month, why not think outside of the box? Moms do a lot. Why not give her a very own electric e-bikes? Uh, yeah. Uh,

Laura rides our electric e-bike. I'm a giant fan of these things. They're so fun. It's like riding a motorcycle or a scooter, but it's a bike and you just pedal and you can have it go with you. You don't even pedal at all. It's just a very easy thing to get around. If you live in a neighborhood, it's super fun to go around, but you can go take it on the trail. Maybe for two seconds, think this is about the Titans and not about Dusty Slay. Well, you know what? I agree. But you know what? I liked Dusty.

going down there and doing 25 takes. And I feel in the end, they did get a good side of me. One of my favorite things is they also included these cards in the tweets where they said, who was your favorite cameo? And they still listed me. And people are like, where was he? I replied, Dusty Slate. If you go forward a little bit, we filmed this at 7pm.

In the morning, we had to be down there at 630 in the morning. Welcome to 545. So if you're just listening, it's a continuous shock moving through a bar. Right now we're seeing Seamus, the wrestler, who's a very cool guy. Very nice. Very nice. And then he's at the bar. Then he's going to approach us, the four of us just hanging out at this bar. And then they go downstairs after us. That was filmed at a different time. We were only there when the upstairs. There you go. Seamus bumps into Nate. Two thumbs spargazzi there. Yeah.

and Nate and Seamus have a moment. We were cracking up because... What should have happened... They cut me out because I didn't run. They didn't cut you out. Yeah, because you didn't... I was ready to fight you. Well, you were being different. Yeah, that's... To be fair, as we did this, at the beginning, it was like, all right, that's all run. It was going to be that you guys run away and I'm left alone. And that was the plan. But Dusty could not get over...

The fictionalness of this, that he goes, we wouldn't run and leave him like that, which is very loyal. Yeah, that's very nice. But he couldn't even, we had to change the whole thing because Dusty's like, I wouldn't run. Well, I don't like the idea that here we are, a team here, and then our first real display out as a team, we're leaving you behind. Yes. I don't like that.

That makes sense to me. And I appreciate it. And I do understand that. I mean, I don't want to fight shades. That's why we changed where I was like, well, we're all just run. Yeah. Like we're all just... It's much better. Yeah, much. And it was. And I think if you would have went the way...

Aaron went, if you'd ran the way Aaron went, you would have had a solid. Well, the only way I had, the only reason I had to run that way is because I ruined, I think four takes bumping into the camera. Yeah. Yeah. On the exit. It was tough and very embarrassing because they'd be like, Hey, everything was great except for, uh, yeah. Aaron bumped into, they would call you out. Oh, for sure. I didn't. Yeah. Well, there was one time where I was really getting into it and I'm behind you when Seamus is, and I'm like, yeah, you want some of this?

And Aaron and Dusty were like, oh, that was pretty funny. And then at that moment, the camera guy comes over and goes, hey, could you not do that? You're blocking the shot. Yeah, that new thing you're doing? Don't do it. Yeah, it was like the one creative decision you'd made and you were so proud of it. And then as soon as you said that, they're like, you've got to cut that out. You're blocking the shot. But you still get a little bit of attitude right there. Yeah, there you go. Some acting. Most people didn't even know Dusty was supposed to be in it. So they're just coming. Oh, typical breakfast. Just see the back of his head. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Really very cool to be a part of though. And then all the cameos down here on the bottom, Keith Urban, Marcus King, Jelly Roll, Jeff Fisher. I mean, yeah, it's a pretty crazy. Yeah, it was cool. Yeah. I mean, I'm honored to see it after. It's very, very cool. Yeah. Honestly, once again, you're in it, dude. You're in it. You're right at the beginning. I mean, the funny thing is all these extras. I mean, you're in it maybe too much. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, it looks like it's about you. That's actually a pretty crazy cameo because you got such a look that they don't really need to show you. The cameo is like, all right, you're like the Easter egg that goes, if people know you, they know that can't be anybody but Dusty. And they don't know that I ran from Seamus. Yeah. That's true. Me neither. You stayed there and fought him out. Yeah.

um we wrestle and i don't know if there are many people dusty that could be recognized that blurry from that distance that's true you've just got such a unique look i think you're lucky that this worked out like this and you're you know what now that you frame it like this yeah i am i do feel lucky yeah that's a that's a solid i think they honestly probably thought we don't have dusty in and then they uh

right here, they goes, that thing, they did this on purpose to get you in that shot right there. Yeah. Yeah. Now the other thing too, is they emailed and asked for me alone. Uh, so I don't know, you know, no, I'm joking. Uh,

Yeah, it was a very cool video. Titans really killed it with the schedule release because then they also had the other video. That went viral. Yeah, that went viral. That was so funny. Yeah. And it's crazy. The man on the street stuff. Yeah. It was great to be like, this was supposed to be the cool video. Then they just have a random thing that's like, well, that's the funniest thing we've ever seen. I think teams will try to copy that.

And I like that they put in who they were saying. Yeah. They were just legit. That's what made it so good that they really did it. And other teams changed their logo for a few days to match it. To match what was said in the Titans video. Yeah. Like the Falcons changed their Twitter page to the Atlanta, I forget what they were. Red Stallions or something. Red Stallions. Whatever they said. They played along. Yeah. I mean, that was awesome. Whoever thought of that.

Yeah. That's really smart. That's really smart. The bartender in this, though, I don't even remember that guy being a bartender while we were there. Well, that's the thing. None of these people were here when we were doing it. No, no. I mean, upstairs, the guy talking to the cameras. Well, Josh Hedley was there with us. Josh Hedley. I don't think he's in this. Yeah. He was the bartender. I felt like the whole day while we were there. How would they edit that together? Where do they cut? There were a couple places where they just do... Where's the cut after this? They let it just play out. So you...

We run away from Seamus right here. Yeah. And then it'll pan to the stairs and you can see, see, there's like a moment where there's no people in the shot. Yeah. And they can change it right there. So it's like right when that guy walked by. Yeah. And it, but it's done really seamlessly, really well. It looks like we're all at the bar at the same time. So good. But this was probably filmed in like four different kind of

time blocks you know like i don't think jelly roll was here the same time keith urban was right but it sure looks like it all happened at the same time no yeah i mean the this bottom half these people were not here when we filmed none of the bottom half was there we just the top half was all real yeah but then that then they uh all this bottom one is filmed a separate time that's pretty fun i mean jeff fisher to do it that's i mean it's a

Yeah, it was cool, man. Yeah, this is a great idea, too. I mean, the Titans really, you know. They killed it. But that's how the content goes now. It's like the thing you work so hard on that looks so great barely gets views, and then the thing you think, well, this is not going to do well, goes viral. But that is such a, this is a fun video. Like, it is a very fun video where it's, you know, it's just the way it's shot, the way it's done, it looks super cool. And then Keith Urban up at the end. Totally.

That's awesome. Yeah. Thank you to the Titans for letting us be a part of it. Thanks for having us. Very cool. I had no idea Keith Urban was so tatted up. Yeah. He's a cool guy. He's a rock star. There's another story that a lot of people have sent us based on one of your old jokes about the guy sucking people's toes in the hotel room. Have you seen that? Yeah.

Oh, is that why I've been getting tagged in that? I think so. I never made the connection. I was like, why is everybody tagging me in this creepy dude sucking people's toes? Do you know the story, Dusty? No. It was at the hotel next to the bridge. Yeah, the Hilton, right? The Hilton. He worked there. Was it the night of your show? No. Okay. I don't think so. I don't think so. I mean, no one was thinking that until you said it right now. You're acting like, were you doing it? Was that you? No, no, no. He goes...

Is this like that one time you did it? Okay, somebody sent this to me, and then they pointed out they arrested the guy at his house in Lebanon. Oh, always lock that inside lock when you're staying at a hotel. I don't know who's not locking that lock. Yeah. I do. I always lock it, too. And then sometimes now I don't always because sometimes –

If someone needs to get in my room, like if Chase needs to get in my room to get something. Sometimes it's like someone's got to go grab something. So I don't sometimes. Well, there's a way to get around that inside lock. I mean, what used to be the equivalent of the chain. Yeah, you don't get around that. How do you get around that? They have a way of doing it if they have to. Well, but I bet it makes noise. Oh, you can't do it covertly. No, yeah. So you'll wake up.

Well, people pointed out the arrest of the guy at his house in Lebanon, and sure enough, I looked, and I graduated high school with this guy. No way. I know him. Are you serious? Yeah, yeah. Was he your buddy? No. I mean, I only saw him at class reunions, but I know him. I mean, I've known him. No, I mean, we kept in touch. Wow. David Neal, yeah. That's wild. What did y'all have in the water out there?

That's Lebanon for you. Because there's a lot of toe suckers out there. I am proud of Lebanon. I forgot to mention this. One of the Titans draft picks, Colton Dow from Lebanon. And I grew up with his dad. I've known his dad all my life. Yeah, that's cool. So it kind of balanced out what happened with this other guy. Well, I'd maybe separate those two stories. I mean, we're literally talking about you. You go, I went to high school with this guy, but I am proud of Lebanon. Yeah.

Well, that's a bad mark on Lebanon. This guy, though, it's like, what a weird... It's so weird. Here's the thing. It's not a bad mark on Lebanon. It's just, I'll be honest, it's probably what people just think Lebanon does. It's going to be what people think Tennessee does. Like, you know, they're just everywhere else. We know. But, you know, we don't care what they all think. We know it's a weirdo. It says Brennan reportedly screamed when he found Neil...

On his toes. Oh, gosh. Yeah. And I like that he immediately recognized him as a hotel staff. I don't remember what anybody looks like at the hotel. I think he'd already called the guy and asked him for some help or something. He came and helped him with his TV the day before. Oh, gosh. Yeah. Bit of a bummer, the whole story. Yeah, yeah. I wonder if that guy is going to sue Hilton.

Can you sue Hilton? Probably. I mean, I don't trust anybody out here like that. I'm locking those doors up. Yeah, that's so crazy. That's crazy that you knew. Yeah. Like, when was the last time you talked to him? Like, before this? I mean, did you recognize him from the mugshot? As soon as I saw the name, I was like, David Neal. Oh, yeah. Wow. And I looked at his Facebook page. I thought we might have been Facebook friends. We weren't. But his last photo was from our class reunion. Wow.

What did he say? Did you talk to him? Him and Brian arm in arm. I missed our last reunion, even though I helped plan it, because that was me, you, and Leanne did that show in Mississippi, and I missed it. So I guess it's been our 25-year reunion, 25 years ago now, that I last saw him. Yeah. But I'll see him every five years. We'll see him at the next one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Wait, your 25 year reunion was 25 years ago? I was joking. I was trying to beat you guys to the punch. What year was this reunion? It was the 30. The 30. Yeah. Well, y'all might do one coming up because you might need to talk this out. Yeah. Keynote speak. So our 30 year reunion was 2020 and it was delayed because of COVID. Y'all are the age group that just can't get together. Yeah. Yeah. And.

And it's just too risky. It's too risky. So our 35 year reunion is in two years. Well, now y'all got someone famous. It's going to be the talk of the town, man. What if he shows up and he's like, that was a wild time, man. That would be great, though, if he got out or whatever and he just shows up. He's like, yeah, you guys knew what I was into. Hey, can you give me a discount at the Hilton? Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Well, when I am downtown staying at the Hilton, I use game time. Again. Yeah. Yeah.

That was, again, not the way you separate this whole ad from what we've been talking about. Yeah. Separate the ad, but you separate you talking about you and Lebanon. You've done yourself no favors. Well, I was going to do Colton Dow playing for the Titans. I'm going to buy Titans tickets on. There you go. There we go. You shut it down too fast. No, no. You could have brought it back up. Yeah. All right. Colton Dow from Lebanon. I went to school with his dad. That's right.

That's awesome. What'd you call my mama? I have an animatronic Rodney Dangerfield that you push a little button and he moves and tells jokes. Does that count as a robot? You're talking about an electronic action figure? Well, he's just on a stand and you push it and then he starts telling jokes. Oh, wow.

I don't know if that's a robot. You got a Hulk Hogan clock. Yeah. Do you have a fish that sings on the wall? I don't have that. I used to want one of those so bad, dude. Those were so funny. Oh, Billy Bass? Is that what it was called? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And it'd bend up. Yeah, it is fun. Take me to the river. Oh, yeah. I would sing that song. Drop me in the water. You would know this song. You know what I just got? I just got the litter robot for our cat.

And I don't know if that's technically a robot, but robot is in the name. So what does it do? It cleans it on its own. It scoops itself. It does everything itself. Yeah. It changed my life. Did your family like that you have a cat? We had a cat growing up, but it was it never came inside. It was an outdoor cat named Cow. That was its name. And it got hit by a milk truck. Wow. OK. OK. I love the specificity of that whole thing.

A cat named cow that got hit by a milk truck. We had a cat named cow and a dog named Yipper that we had to keep chained up to the basketball goal because it kept biting the kids. And it lasted maybe a month. Brian's car. You block somebody? Apparently. Yeah, you do that a lot. Just pulls in right in the middle of the driveway. I pull it sideways. Diagonally, yeah. Yeah, I block everybody. And he goes, oh, other people are coming today? Yeah.

Yeah. So I think we had a Roomba. Do you have a Roomba? I don't have a Roomba. I saw a, uh, electric, I saw some, a mowing a grass robot, like a mowing the grass Roomba. I saw this weekend driving to, uh, I forget where, to the show somewhere. And, uh, it went, I mean, it was going under a tree and it just, it was mowing a whole yard. Yeah. It's cool. Yeah. It was just, yeah, it was like that. Now is it remote controlled or is, does it just work? I didn't get out and ask the guy, but it was, uh,

We were driving by it, so you might already know more. Honey, I Strunk the Kids. They had a remote control lawnmower. Yeah, that's a good movie. It is a good movie. I thought about Sean Harper that movie. I can't remember. I feel like there's one curse word I don't like. I've never seen it. I feel like those movies always throw one. It's mainly the weird makeout scene in the middle of the thing. It seems unnecessary to me. Yeah. You ever use VidAngel?

No. It takes out all the bad parts of movies. Oh, really? You can watch the movie and they take it out for you. Oh, wow. Yeah, they got sued, right? I'm pretty sure they got sued. Oh, yeah, they did. Because they were... Yeah. Yeah. It's a giant. I think I know the guy. I actually think the guy that owns it. I've met him in Utah because we've talked. Yeah. And I don't know if that's...

Because the concept of this is the idea. But they were taking movies. It was like, but the copyright, you can't just take and take out whole scenes or whatever. I don't know. Something. So we've been trying to do this for a month. A month ago, New York Police Department added robots to their department. They have a – it's called a Diggy Dog robot.

I think they call them spot for fun. And it, uh, it's a robot dog that goes in and places that might be too dangerous. And, um, you know, you can do a, you can do a lot of things, weigh 70 pounds, runs three and a half miles per hour, can climb stairs. And, uh,

People were upset about it. They tried it a couple of years ago and people got so upset about it that they stopped it. But then they got a new mayor now in New York City. He's the former police chief and he's like, we're going to use it. And when a RoboCop, here we go. When a parking garage collapsed a few weeks ago, they used it to go in to search for survivors because it's safer than obviously sending a human. Right.

So it's been put to use. Safer unless it doesn't work well. The dog comes out. Nobody's in there. There's just people all over the place. Well, I guess that's true. Mayor Bill de Blasio is, quote, glad the DigiDog was put down. It is creepy, alienating, and sends the wrong message to New Yorkers.

New Yorkers said, yeah. The first time they were like, we didn't ask for this. But then the new mayor says, it helps. I'm going to use anything that helps us keep people safe. I know. But then... Yeah. In San Francisco, I think... You go down a road. We're going to use a moral-less robot to police people. And they start arming it. Yeah. Yeah. That's going to be a real problem. So that's one they have there. They have one in Times Square that just...

goes around and just looks for crime. And then if people are a victim of crime, they can go up to it and tell it what happened.

and it will report it back to the police station. The victim will tell the robot what happened. Yeah. Okay. It's called the K5 Autonomous Security Robot, or ASR for short. Real personal policing. And then, but how can it, it just rides around and then. I think I said, did I not send you links to these? Not these particular. I'm keeping an eye on them. And then, so it's crazy. Yeah, it looks like a bread maker. Just kind of rolls up to you and you speak into it.

But it can tell you if it's... You can just order this. That's what's crazy. It's like you can just... Anybody can order this. How to buy. Yeah, it's currently... They currently have these at malls, warehouses, hospitals, airports, casinos. I haven't seen these before. So you could just have one at your house and be like, I want you just to be outside when we go to sleep. And then you just... Patrol. It patrols the house. You could do. You could. You really could. Like if you did...

Say you just have it be like, yeah, it just patrols the house. What's it cost? I don't know. It's one of those, they don't have the price on here. Can you Google how much one costs? It's got to be crazy. I guess once it goes around one way, then the burglar would just run in. Well, the Diggy Dogs, that first one we showed, they got two of them for $739,000. They used it from...

money seized in criminal forfeiture cases whatever that is there you go that's where so you lose money they go now this guy we found it you go all right you can use it you rent the robot for a year and it costs 70 to 80 000 a year to rent it so less than a lot than paying an employee with benefits yeah yeah so

That's how they phase us out. That is true. That's how they phase out people. And then, yeah, less... It's crazy that as much as... I mean, once they get this going, then the second it...

It's $30,000 or $10,000. It goes down. Yeah, and then they'll have robots to just arrest us. So there'll be no talking to the robot to be like... Because you could do something wrong and then have a little conversation and then maybe they go, all right, we're going to write you a warning. But the robot has none of that empathy type thing. It goes, no, you've committed a crime. You're going to jail. Yeah, it's like you jaywalked and it could be you...

literal jaywalk are you we're off the crosswalk just a little bit like where does it where you got to set a boundary yeah so where does it the boundary kind of get set you know the third thing that new york police just added a sticky gps where now if they're in a police chase they can fire this thing at your car it'll stick to your car it can track you that way so they can avoid dangerous chases uh but then you just get out of the car

Switch cars. And then the Mendev, the helicopter always tracks them too. Yeah. I don't think you know that you've been hit with one, right? Well, I guess that could be true. I bet they wish that article didn't come out. Yeah. Yeah.

And then this is also New York unrelated to the police. They have trash cans that go around. I think also in Times Square that robot trash cans go around. They put a camera on it just to see how people would react. Would they be mean to it? Would they Columbia University did a study to see how people are going to treat robots.

So there was a camera on it and there's video of this on there. And most people were pretty nice to it. Just comes up to it and they throw the trash in. A few people kicked it and did some stuff like that. But the cameras were just to do a study on how people are going to start treating robots in the future. Well, a robot that's taking our trash, that seems like would be very nice to it. And a robot trying to give us a ticket.

Well, his idea, though, are you going to be the robot that robot taking? It's taking your trash today. What's it going to do? Right. Like they're making the, you know, grab stuff out of your hand. Yeah. They're making the video to go like, well, how people treat robots. You're like, well, I mean, how's that robot going to treat us? Yes. You know.

It's early enough that there's still a novelty to it. I bet people are amused that this thing comes up. But 20 years from now, when you're used to it, I bet your reaction is going to be a little different. You're going to be annoyed. I mean, how quick are they going to be where we're going to be dealing robots? It's happening so quick now. Isn't Domino's delivering pizza with robots now? In LA? A self-driving car. You know what? We saw it when I was at...

Ball State. Volunteer State. Muncie, Indiana? Muncie, Indiana. Ball State. They had an Uber Eats and it was just a robot. And it just goes down the sidewalk and it pops up and you grab your food out of it and then it shuts and then it drives back to where it goes and it's just on the sidewalk. And that was at Ball State. I mean, these kids were ordering

I mean, we walked by it two or three times. And like, it's just, you ought to be living in an autonomous vehicle, grabbing your order is easy. And it's like, just goes to your house, drops it off. And then you, that's it. I mean, no one bothered it. People just, they just used to it. Like that's where they're going to do it. They do it at colleges. These college kids just get used to it. And then when it's in the real world, they're like, yeah, we had that college. But these colleges don't know. You're like, yeah, but the one you did in college was just,

gearing you up to now you're up against the wall with a robot. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, somebody told me truck drivers were like 10% of the population, like working population. I don't know if that number's true, but I know it's a lot. And if you got this kind of technology for truck drivers, I mean, think of all the jobs that would be gone. Yeah. If you're a truck, you should be concerned. Yeah. For sure. That's maybe one of the first jobs to go. And it's like in most states, it's like the number one job in the state. Yeah. Yeah, they make good money. Yeah.

Right. It's insane. Yeah. Elon Musk, and he's not the only one, but he thinks that they're going to take over all jobs that there's any physical labor or anything like that. And we need just a guaranteed income that everyone just gets. He's not the only one that thinks that. That you need a guarantee. Yes. Because so many jobs are going to be automated. Yeah.

Yeah. And go away, that we're going to have to have some type of basic income just to survive. Yeah. He's one of the main dudes making this happen. Yeah, it's a weird- I know this is horrible, but I'm doing it. Well, Amazon's certainly doing it. Yeah. Well, he always talks about AI, right? Yeah. He's like, not on board with that. Or like, you got to be careful with it, but then- But then he's one of the- Yeah. Then he wants to plug our brain to a computer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He always says it. He always talks about it. Neuralink. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, he they talk about the singularity, which is when computers get us or AI gets as smart as humans and then passes us in twenty twenty nine is the year that they said it would happen. That's I'd like to be living in the woods by that time in six years. Yeah, that's quick. You're pretty close. Yeah, I'm working on it. I mean, I feel like that's a special out. Yeah, just take the special part of this piece of the puzzle. Yes.

Yeah. It doesn't feel like with chat GPS and all that, this happened this year. I mean, chat GPS. All right. I'm going to be a little behind, but, uh,

Was it chat AI? Chat GPT, I think. GPT. All right. Sorry. Doesn't it seem like it's going to happen quickly? Yeah, it's all happening super, super quickly. And it's kind of unnerving to think about. Well, the AI thing is like, aren't they people writing articles and stuff? Are they writing papers? I thought I read somewhere that it was like, it's not fair because the teacher uses the AI to grade a paper that they're making the kid write. Yeah.

So the teacher uses AI and doesn't have to grade the paper. But then the kid gets in trouble for using AI to write the paper. You're like, well, you can't do both. It's not...

It's not fair to... Someone just told me their son used AI to write his... He ran for some kind of class president or something and used AI to write his speech to win, and he won. She said it was not a very good speech, but said he won. Yeah, I mean, who's going to believe...

What's crazy is the media doesn't... People already have weird trust with media anyway. And you add this in that I think that you're not even writing this. Yeah. The communication goes... The whole system crumbles. And not even just writing, but pictures and video. Anything. Everything will be so easily... We walked through an art in Greenville.

They had a big art festival down in this. Greenville's a very cool town. It is a really great place. And then Rory Scovel's from Greenville. It just came out. But this festival, it went so far.

And so long. And like, it was like, we were like shocked at like how far lost my dad at one point. He's just gone. Just gone. Just, I mean, we look over and it's just, he's just blended in. Yeah. Doesn't just, I got to find him.

So when we were going to the art fest, I was looking at it because I thought, I was like, oh, maybe I'll get for Mother's Day. I was trying to see if I could find something. Laura likes, you know, like local art, people that do paintings like that. And she, and so we, I was looking at it, but then there's part of me that goes like some of them, you're like, I don't know if I believe everything. Because some of the stuff being done, you're like,

Well, what, like, are you, like, are you just, this is like your, you know, one was, this one girl out there, her art was like the best one, I thought. And it was like. So like Roy telling Pam. Yeah. Your art. Your art. The best art. Of all the art. Of all the art. Yeah. That's what I told her. You got the prettiest art of all the art that I've seen. But.

Is it like just their idea? Like it's a giraffe and giraffe, like talking to a mice or something, a mouse. I can't remember what it was. The giraffe talking to a mouse. Yeah. But you just say that. And, and like, you know, and so your creativity is like,

I just, you said giraffe mouse and then you had a computer. She didn't even paint it. I don't know. Oh, I didn't ask. This is the thing you showed us, right? Yeah. So, I mean, what point do I believe that art is becoming like, I didn't even buy anything. Cause I'm like, well, I don't, you'd want someone to make it. And I don't know if I believe people are making it. Yeah. With this, we're all artists. Yeah. Everybody can be an artist. You can think it, it,

it can draw it. Yeah. Which I'd like to get into, by the way. Yeah. So, like, that made me another thing that try to draw a giraffe talking to a mouse. Giraffe talking to a mice? Yeah, talking to a mice. And what do you want? Did you want... No, you're going to put mice? Giraffe talking to a mice. Put mice. Well, I'm just, like, talking to mice. No. To a mice. Do it how I said it.

Make it an incoherent prompt. This is his art. Talking to him, I said, what do we want, a painting? Do we want a photorealistic image? It's like I'm talking to Brian over here. I'm like, hey, maybe have fun, Aaron, and do something. Well, I'm trying to see, look, all this works with formal logic, all this programming. So you got to make sure that it makes sense. What if you just put that in and press generate? But you got to give it, let's give it a little bit of direction here. What do you want it to create? I say there's no direction. Like an oil painting? Let's see what it does. Let's do an expressive oil painting.

I mean, why don't you just paint it then? That looks ridiculous. Is that it? Is that it? No, it's loading. That's an example of something else. I was like, all right, artists are safe for now, man. Yeah, yeah. Here it is. Look.

Look at that. Yeah. Wow, that's really good. Yeah, it's really good. See, I mean, like, if that is... That's not even... Like, who am I going to believe? It's a pigeon. Well, I said two of mice, so it's a little confusing. Oh, that's pretty cool. It's a mouse pigeon, though. Yeah. Look at that. A lot of tongue... The tongue, the long tongue... When the word mice came out and...

Yeah, click on that. What is that? Are those all yours? These are previous prompts. That's going to be embarrassing. I'm going to clear those. I was experimenting on there, dude. And you just type in stuff. Yeah. But see, what if you did? Giraffe talks to a mouse. Acrylic. Okay. Acrylic. Now, you want to give anything else, any other kind of descriptions? No. How do you spell acrylic? There it is.

Here we go. That's not good. It's a robot holding a balloon. But yeah, the trick is you see people that are really good at this. They're so good at entering the prompt. Look at that. Yeah, these are good. Yeah, these are really good. I mean, that's a great painting. That's a great painting that someone would buy. Yep. That's what I mean. Like, so I'm looking at this art and I'm in. If I know this exists, how do I know that you're not doing it? I think you have to see it happen.

You almost have to be creative. I know. It's got to be something because these are getting so – that's so perfectly imperfect. Yeah.

That's the crazy part about it. I think if it's oil painting on a canvas, you can at least even feel the texture. That's true. I mean, you know. But I could have this printed with texture. Oh, could you? Probably. Oh, I guess they got 3D printers. I couldn't, but I could. You know, somebody could. So, yeah, when I saw it, you're just going, I don't know if I... So, I'm just looking at you typing...

You know, it's like, you know, like if you had the paintings, like what's the guy's, you know, famous people with the ears? Pablo? Yeah. Picasso? Picasso. Who was the guy? Is that the one with the ear? Van Gogh. Van Gogh.

the da vinci code yeah yeah van gogh like though like there was you know there they those guys truly like the the art like meant something or it's this whole big thing or it's you know he has like the one was picture was like a guy painted a picture of van gogh painting because as he was painting he painted the picture and that's the story like that was a whole thing and then now it's

Like you're just typing in this stuff that does it. I don't, I'm going to this art fair and it makes it hard to believe. It's a Van Gogh painting of a giraffe talking to a mice. Yeah. And so it makes it hard to believe. The other thing that this girl had, I don't know if it's a girl, so I shouldn't say that because I didn't see them. You're just guessing based on what the painting looked like?

Yes. Not very good. Yeah. But a chick did this. But they go, no, no, I don't know why. Maybe – but it was – they said on there, shipping makes me miserable. They put that on the – so the shoot was – they weren't even out there. Yeah. And they just had a sign there. I mean, if you bought one, someone was – they're probably sitting behind it. Yeah. And so –

And I understand that. Like, but if so, you go through and then say they're sitting back there and then you were like, I want that one. I think most would be, they would ship it to you because it's a giant thing. That's like, unless you're buying like a one that's small, like it's a pretty big thing that you're like, yeah, I don't know if I want to carry around this art fair for four hours. Yeah.

And so, but she put on their shipping. It makes me miserable. Me too. And he puts it on the outside. It does. As if to say, I will be annoyed if you buy something and ask for it to be shipped. Yeah. That's not on me. Yeah. The purchaser. Yeah. That problem does not exist in my world. I am buying something from you. Right. This is the problem that I have with a lot of like, you know, I'm

When I hosted at the beginning of my career, I never liked hosting. I was never good at it. It's not the audience's responsibility that I don't like to host. It's not the comedy club's responsibility that I go, but I don't like to host. That's just what I had to do in the moment. You should have opened your sets with that. Just let y'all know, I don't like doing this. But it's not your fault or the club's fault. It's not their problem. It's what I got to get. If shipping makes me miserable...

Then I got to get my business to a point that I don't deal with shipping. That's the part. It's not, it doesn't matter. Yeah. Shipping is not, there's going to be. Or just say will not ship. You could say that too. You could say will not ship. And then you let, you let what happens because of that happen. Yeah. But it's the idea that makes me not want to buy. I didn't buy the art.

Because it was, and I might have got, because they looked cool, even though I don't know if they were real or not. So you had a couple issues with them. Well, now I'm just saying, because we were talking about this, you don't know the difference. But the shipping measure made me leave because it's just like, what are you, now I got to worry about, oh, yeah, it's a nightmare to go ship something. That's not my responsibility. You're just selling too much art. You're just selling too, you know what I mean? It's like, oh, you can't go to the post office, huh?

You're putting your stuff onto me? Yeah. I don't have any. How many paintings are you boxing up? Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I went to a thing like that this weekend, too, in Knoxville, and they had these little ceramic things, and it was like they had some little mushrooms for like $20. It was too much for the mushroom, but I've been trying to decorate this one little bathroom with mushroom stuff. I like it. I'm into it. So I wanted to buy it. I had $20 in my hand.

the ladies like fumbling around with their square and then there's like, I assume her husband sitting in a chair behind there. And I'm like, all I want to do is give you this money and leave with this thing. And the guy sits there. He never addresses me. He never, he never moves. And I ended up walking off because I'm not going to stand here all day. I just feel like the, the, it's like, you're down here already in the hot sun, stand up, take the money.

Are you selling too many of these $20 mushrooms? Yeah. You'd rather pack it all up than take the $20 from my hand? And that's what it feels. The vibe of stuff to me.

These people, like the people that do like the one that I saw on that is you can tell the difference between someone that's like excited for you to be there and someone that's like they don't need to be doing this. It's just that's what that's what that's how it came off. Yeah, it came shipping makes me miserable. She's not saying that she's not going to ship it. I guess she would ship it. I mean, something painting that I don't know if she put in a computer or not.

It's like $1,700. Yeah. This is not a $20 thing. Not that any of that matters. I don't care if it was $1. What happens in your business side is not the customer's responsibility. Your problems are not the customer's responsibility. You don't got to throw on it. But they're starting to do that. That's the tipping thing. I just read something about tipping. Wow. They're starting to do that with tipping. $1,700? $1,700. And she's like, oh, I can't ship it. Yeah.

Oh, that would make me so miserable to sell at $1,700. Based on the price of what? Yeah. On what? Something that you are putting into a thing. If someone wanted to buy my art for $1,700, I would go to the post office with a smile on my face. I'd drive it to their home. Yeah. Why wouldn't the person just take it? They're on the spot anyway.

Well, you don't carry it around. I mean, why? It's a giant painting. You've spent $1,700 on a painting that you're going to maybe throw in the back of your car with your kids. Where are you going to put it? You've got to carry it around the rest of the day. You've got to carry it around the rest of the day. It's a whole thing. And you're spending a lot of money on a painting that you're going to hang on a wall that you want it to be taken care of.

and you want to be properly packaged, you're an artist. You probably know how to probably, that's part of it. If you don't want to be a part of that side of the business of it, I don't know what to tell you. Then you need to pay someone to go sell your art. That is fine with doing that. - Carrying your painting around the festival makes me miserable. - Yeah. My drive in my whole career is to not have to do the things that make me miserable.

That's your drive. That's what you use to make you get to a point. I mean, that's...

the most motivation I've ever had anything. If I didn't want to, I don't want to stand on this corner and hand out flyers. That makes me, it made me miserable. I had to stand out. It was 15 degrees out. You think I wanted to, and I don't even like talk. Like I'm embarrassed. I don't, I'm scared. I'm nervous doing this because people were walking by. I'm like, we've got a great comedy show tonight. And he got, I didn't like it. I don't, I mean, I really did not like it, but that's not,

that guy's responsibility. That's what I had to do at the moment. So that's the motivation you use to go. Let me tell you what, I don't want to be doing this. I'm going to do it now because I have to do it, but I will not be doing this. I promise you that. And now I'm not doing it. And all of those little things that make you miserable is what motivates you. You can't just put

Shipping makes me miserable and you go that's not how you get out of shipping You don't get out of it by just telling the audience or telling your customers I don't want to do the thing that makes me not happy I get out of it because I become so big of an artist that we're ship it to you and I say we because I'm not shipping it to you because I don't like shipping I don't want to deal with it, but don't worry We will get someone that will handle it for you And so you do that and if she doesn't want to ship then guess what you got a friend that you go I'll give you a hundred bucks and

or whatever you do, you can take $5 from every sale and you just go get their info and you go ship it. I don't want to, like, shipping drives me crazy. It makes me miserable. But instead they throw it on the person. Yeah.

I just, yeah, I mean, I did not realize the painting was that price. So I just. It just changes everything. It really does. Yeah. Like I'm miserable because I still like if people buy stuff off my merch and I am working on it, I am working to get out of this. But if people go to my website and buy something, I go to the post office. I hate it now because I've been doing that for years. Right. And I've not dealt with it. But that's not on them. It's not their fault.

I don't have on my website. Sending this to you makes me miserable. Yeah. Yeah. It's not even their worry. Right. The customer deserves no burden given to it at all. The price is what you're giving them. They cannot feel...

any, you know, someone comes up and they're like, man, I bet you're tired. And I'll say, that's not, I don't ever want to put any of that burden on anybody. Right. That's like, if you go to a show or if you go to a thing, like whatever I'm doing is I will, I'll, I'll handle it. How can I help? The burden is not on you. It's not on the, and if you're any kind of business, the customer does not deserve the burden.

You don't get a package of the bird and put that as a price. Right. And go, well, it's hard to get. The joy is you get to be, you can do whatever you want. The joy is you're in control and you're in charge or you're creating something. Your vision is where it goes. Like if you're waiting tables and they're like, can you get me another drink? And you're like, yeah, it's downstairs. Yeah. But I'll go get it.

Yeah. That's why we need robots. Yes. Running things. We are. This is the whole thing about robots. Yeah, we just turn and we love robots. You know what? Let's get some robots. Yeah, we need more. There'd be some advantages to it. Would you get a massage from a robot? I mean, you kind of sit in one of those chairs, but I don't like it. I don't like those chairs. At the airport, I do like those. I don't like the... It always hurts. I don't mind. I did one...

And it had like the, it blew up like air, like air, like those. I like that. Like it feels like the pressure and stuff is nice, but I don't love the, you know, metal circular. Yeah. That stuff. You're like that. Those things hurt those seats at the airport. Those kinds of things. I only don't like the leg thing. I feel like it's going to like clamp down and then break. And then my legs will be stuck in this thing. Yeah.

That's a good feeling, though. They sell machines now, though, that do the full body massage from a robot. Like your back, like you lay on a table. Does it have like human hands, looking hands? I think so. I sent you a video of it. It does though. I mean, I got all the videos pulled up, but that's, you know. Just what happened, bud? You got, it's kind of throwing a, that's minor league today, huh? You're doing minor. I'm sorry.

He's major league. You're minor. It goes to you. You don't know what's going on. You didn't send me that link. Ooh. All right. Go to your emails. Now we got, ooh. We're going to put the burden of all this on the audience if they go. Yeah, go ahead, Dusty. All right. Hey, you know, I don't know if you guys know this, but that's not the right way to phrase it. No.

Are rising prices stressing you out? Yeah. If you're looking like shipping costs or something, if you're looking for ways to cut costs, you need Rocket Money. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscription, monitors your spending, and helps you lower your bills all in one place. Over 80% of people have subscriptions they forgot about, and chances are you're one of them.

Like the Starz app. And I look forward to reading it over and over again. Well, we got the massage robot pulled up. I'll get better at it. All right, let's see it. And it looks like it feels pretty good. I'll be honest. It looks better than I thought, but I still... I mean, I'd rather have a purse. Yeah. That's getting in there, dude. Yeah. There's something about that if you have the fear of this thing getting stuck on you or jamming you too hard. I mean, because it's like this thing could...

have enough power to just break your back yeah whoops sorry snap the rib yeah add another and you can't do anything there's no way out of it and it's it's that's that's the thing that i would keep people away as you go like i if it gets stuck or if it gets whatever you can probably stop this video i can't watching more of this video and then uh but it's i you know i i think you people want personal stuff there's

There's a personality and people like it's you're not gonna I think you will what will happen is it will be This what's gonna happen. It's you're gonna see robots involved More than you realize and then next thing, you know, they're like well, they're doing robots for this You're like well, let's not do robots yet. And then you're like, oh by the way, you've only been using robots We just haven't really said anything about it like you go. Oh

McDonald's like, you know, you're going to cut to like a robots delivering the mail and you're like, well, I don't know if we should do that. And they go, Oh, that's the last one we did. We've done this for 15 years. Yeah. You've never gotten anything FedEx you've ever gotten. Never. They don't even have people at work there anymore. And you're like, what? Like all this stuff you wouldn't know about. Yeah. There's McDonald's in Fort Worth, Texas. It's all automated now. No people. 24 hours. I don't know. There's a video of that too. Uh, but it,

Yeah, I mean, it just It should be If it's not 24 hours, I will be furious Well, that's what you want with a restaurant Is to have no personal touch Well, that's McDonald's You don't go to McDonald's for a personal touch anyway You know me, I don't go at all Can you hit the Yeah, turn that music off I'm killing it today There are no employees at the counter You order there

Come to the seat, give your order. If it's not 24 hours, then they should burn this place to the ground. Yeah, I just feel like with food, it's like you do want somebody to be making it. Yeah, I don't know how that works. Or if it's a mistake. I bet there would be less mistakes, but...

That looks not good. The burger looks okay. It'll take you right to your table, too. Oh, dude. There's got to be one employee there making sure this place doesn't get burnt down. I don't know. I mean, well, but eventually they're not, no one's going to be there. And then, you know, you're going to go and, yeah. What would the Chick-fil-A robot be like? Who would? Sunday, God bless you. Yeah.

I might be sitting here with three robots. What do you mean? Get rid of y'all. Yeah. Well, then we pass the Turing test. That's what it's called. Huh? The Turing test. What's that? I think comedy is going to be safe. That's where you interact with a robot and don't even realize it.

You interact with artificial intelligence and don't realize it at all. Wow. So imagine, you know, when you call like a customer service hotline and it's that automated and it's so annoying. If that gets to a point where you are talking to it like it's a normal person, that it's past the Turing test. Is there anything that's past it? There's a lot of AI now. I mean, look, you read an article that's written by AI. Probably a lot of the ones you read, you don't even realize it.

Yeah, those are passing. Yeah. But I think there's customer service where people don't know they're talking to a computer, right? Like a chat, like the chat on the website. Yeah. Well, I was thinking over the phone, but maybe it's just. Oh, I've never seen it that well over the phone. I always know. You know right away. I just read an article the other day. AI is taking a lot of voiceover jobs.

Because now they would get these voice actors to come in and it would just learn their voice and then they can have it recreate anything. So it's weird. It's a lot of creative jobs that are going to go first. I hear that the writer strike that's happening right now is actually a part of it is that AI can now write TV scripts. Somebody was saying like Ted Lasso or something. I don't know if that's a show. They use that example, but had –

ai wrote a an episode of that really and it was i don't know if it was one that was used but it wrote an episode that was as good as the other did yeah look up ai ted lesson uh and and and so that's like you know people could lose writing jobs because and i don't know if this is true this is just people talking i heard this somebody did comment that

for Nate's pilot just get AI to do it now that there's the writer's strike. Yeah. I mean, but I just think if you don't have the, there's a, not a personal touch behind it. There has to be some, like there has to, and I think that we can all feel that because you could buy into stuff. I mean, that's why music, look at music now.

The biggest people are like, it's like Taylor Swift. It's like you're because they're buying into her. And so it's like I'm on board with her. And like old music was great.

that's why they're you know leonard skinner are all those allman brothers derrick trucks with like the people were into them because they're they it was like it was real and that everybody wanted real i think people are going to go back to real they want real i think the government probably wants robots i think a lot of businesses want robots because they want it's the cheapest thing to do yeah but people are going to just be like yeah i don't want

uh, thing. I mean, look at like, like you're all your, I mean, look, we drink coffee or diet, Dr. Pepper diet, all this diet, Pepsi. Like that's probably, I mean, there's no human that needs to be there for that. You know? Yeah. Just probably the way those, those conveyor belts work. Yeah. You're just everything that you do. If I have yogurt, it's like, I don't know. What is a human going to do? Like put the top on it. It's like, no, they just, a machine does it. Yeah.

They're just kind of there to, I guess, like make sure it all goes good. I mean, machines have been around for a long time. There's probably always someone complaining that it's taking a job. John Henry had to beat the steam engine or something, right? I thought he was like drilling nails or spikes. Yeah, whatever it was he had to beat and he beat it.

And then he died. This is going to be the new thing. We're going to have to be the John Henry's of our time. Yeah. In Hawaii, during COVID, in Honolulu, they use robo-dogs to take people's temperature at homeless camps. There you go. There you go. There you go. Oh, man. That's insane. Boston Dynamics dogs walking up. That's insane.

Yeah, these dogs can do wild things too. I've seen. We have your best interests at heart. That's crazy. Wow. Yeah. The fact that it's unreal. Yeah, we don't care if you have a house, but what's your temperature? Yeah. It's crazy. So when robots get to the point where they're like humans, there's three laws for robots. Now, this just came up.

Some guy just invented these. Robot may not injure a human being or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm. That's the first law. So it's going to have to injure a human being. If someone's going to come into harm, it's going to have to stop, you know, like a murder. Well...

I mean, I guess he just grabs the guy. The second law is a robot must obey the orders given to it by its human, except where such orders would conflict with the first law. What are these laws? This is just the code of ethics? Yes. And so far, the code of ethics looks like it's like, here's the law, but the robot does not have to do this law. And then it's all right. Well, what's the next one? All right. All right. Here's the law.

But the robot can also read. But the second law said basically was saying if you told your robot to kill you, it couldn't do that because the first law is it can't hurt you. Yeah. And read the first law. First law is a robot may not injure a human being or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm. So it's it's got to start the harm. Well, if someone is trying to kill someone.

I mean, then it can, it will injure the other human being that's stopping that human being. So already right there, you're already, it's a, it's already out. Like it's already the, this, the, the laws already, well, there's an excuse for it. And that's the fear that they, it's, it's the fear of it is the robot then decides, well, you're harming my human. So I'm going to injure this other human, even though your law says I'm not supposed to injure humans, but I have a,

Look around or was I called a loophole a loophole where but he was injuring me and then what's the second read the second second law as a robot must obey the orders given to it by its human except where such orders would conflict with the first law so except so everything's there's just a There's a loophole in all of it. Well, when does it? It has to listen to your human unless you are hurting the like if you're hurting someone and

then it doesn't have to listen to your humor. It doesn't sound like it can stop anyone from hurting you.

No, it can. Yeah, pets. But you're... Yeah. This is kind of like in Terminator 2. Terminator 2. I have not seen it. Arnold Schwarzenegger was there to protect John Connor. And he was killing people. And John Connor was like, stop killing people. And he's like, okay. And then he just started still shooting them, injuring them to the point where it wouldn't hurt John Connor. But it didn't get the point. Yeah. That's kind of what you're saying. Yes. I'm saying there's... You're putting... So if you put that stuff in, I mean, a robot can then...

It's I mean, what's the who's to say? And all this has to be who's to say who's being harmed and not being harmed and not like I know it seems like it's an obvious thing. But like if me and my buddy are like just like wrestling around two friends and then the robot sees it, like who's the who's to decide what is harm, not harm? Yeah. And can you shut the robot down? I mean, if A.I. is in the robots and it has a kind of a mind of its own.

Then we're done. Yeah. And the third law is- We've been making movies about this for a while. Yeah. The third law, a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law. Right. I don't know if you need that third one. The accepts are the thing you have a problem with. What's the point of the third law?

How does it protect itself if it can't hurt you? I don't want it to fight for itself. I just want it to do what I program it to do. And then if it goes down, it goes down. I don't want to give it a will to live. Yeah. You know, that's the scary one. That's the scary one. I want it to be okay with dying. Yeah. Or not even know it's going to die. Say it again. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second wall.

So it basically saying it should give up its life if it's to protect you from being injured. But other than that, it should protect itself. But the whole thing is it's not supposed to injure a human. Well, what if a guy runs up and starts kicking the robot or like, and they're trying to take a gun and has a gun pointed at the robot or puts dynamite on the robot? What's the robot going to do? It's not supposed to hurt anybody, but now it does need to hurt someone because that guy person is trying to hurt it. Yeah. This is already who wrote this.

AI. One of us folks wrote in. I really think it was just some writer who was writing about robots, but he came up with this in the early days of robots. Yeah. So this is not a real law then. There's no government law, but it's...

Yeah, Chad GBT cranking out some laws for us, too. You remember Rocky's robot in Rocky 3? Was it 4? Yeah, when he was in Russia. Oh, okay. I thought it was 3. It's the beginning of the movie, right? Yeah, he got a little robot. Yeah. That was pretty fun. So I want to watch a robot taking over.

Terminator's the way to go? I think so. There's a lot of them. What's another one? Robocop. 2001 Space Odyssey. That was the original AI. Oh, yeah. This is such a good movie that I can't...

pronounce it I don't Ex Machina Ex Machina Ex Machina is how I say it to myself I think that's how they say it Ex Machina Ex Machina I think you're insane there's a Bruce Willis one over Ex Machina what's the Bruce Willis one AI

I think I've seen it. Surrogates. Oh, I have seen it. Surrogates is really good. I just watched this not too long ago. It's great, isn't it? Yeah. I'll check this out. Yeah, there's a lot about the Turing test in here. iRobot? Yeah, I think that one did terrible. I have trouble watching Will Smith now.

Even his old stuff. Right. You'd never seen it before? No, no. I think I want to see it. I'm saying after the Chris Rock thing, I just, I have a, doesn't it seem hard? Sometimes you see his movie and you're like an old movie and I'm like, I just can't. But there are some actors where I feel like I only see the actor in the movie and I don't, I don't see the character.

I do too, but... Will Smith's a guy where I... It's Will Smith and everything for me. Yeah, it's Will Smith. It's not a knock on him, but I'm thinking that's Will Smith. Yes, that's Will Smith. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly. You're not... Daniel Day-Lewis, you kind of can get lost. Yeah, forget it's him. Or whatever. But it's... Yeah, with... You do. The whole thing is Will Smith's a superstar. He's like a hero. Yeah. Yeah, it's like a different... It's a different thing. But, yeah. I don't know about Terminator...

I'm saying surrogates if you've not seen it. It's very good. There was that, I saw you just had it pulled up, the robot that's going to Saturn's moon, the robot snake. Oh, yeah. So there's water on Saturn's moon and they're going to send this robot snake there to search. That was like stuff that came out of my, what's my dryer air outside. How'd they go get it up there? Just.

Throw it. Well, they're working on that too, but

When they get there, they go. We'll get there. We'll cross that bridge when we get there. Yeah, to the water on Saturn. I like the scientist. He goes, so I got the thing ready to walk on the moon. We don't even know how to get there, dude. Why did you go work on that first? Saturn's moon. That is a scientist not doing, like that just gets distracted and is pointless. He goes, how are we going to get it there? He goes, well, I just went and worked on this thing. Those are different departments. This is amazing how this thing moves, though.

They can drop it into places that no other type of robot could fit into. And that thing just crawls around on the ground. It's kind of creepy. I don't really like it. I don't like looking at it. And then... Yeah, that's what would be crawling in your backyard. It can swim, too. Oh, jeez.

I'll be honest. I figured they would have something. This doesn't seem very futuristic to me. Like, I don't think they could have something that just flies around. They have drones. Yeah. You could have a tiny drone that could be like, I could find anywhere because it's a really small one, though. Yeah, but they can make that. I think this is I'm guessing this is super energy efficient, too.

What is that? And it can climb up any surface. But I mean, if you have something fly, it can fly in anything. I guess sticking it down there, you maybe need something big to burrow. And it's really indestructible. Yeah, it's indestructible, maybe. But...

Yeah, I wish they would use it for something real instead of Saturn's moon. You know what I mean? Like, oh, we found water on Saturn. You know what I mean? Like, let's explore the ocean here. Yeah, the ocean would be fun if they go down there. Well, there's water on Saturn. One day it could explore glaciers on Earth. But first, Saturn's moon. Yeah, yeah, let's just do... Well, that's going to be one of the spots we go.

Saturn's been... You have to leave Earth, yeah. Why? I'm not going. Because it's an Earth-like... You're not going? Oh, it is? Yeah. Europa, I think it's called. You think you get a choice? You think they go, where are you going to go? I don't think you'll have much choice in anything. I think it'll be like the movie The Island. You ever see that where they're like, they tell you that one day you're going to the island, but then you realize that you're just like clones and they're using your body parts? Most of these UFOlogists, I think is how you say it,

The UFOs that we see here, they think there's probably not aliens on there. It's probably some type of robot. Because they're going to go billions and billions of miles here. No matter what it is, it's probably not alive the way you think it's alive. It's probably some type of AI robot that's running things. Yeah, there's demons.

Although in Brazil, they had one thing. I mean, go on. Brazil had their own Roswell. You said, yeah, but it was the exact opposite of what he said. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, AI has demons too. Yeah, it could be. There was one that crashed in Brazil in 1996. And so there's still a lot of people alive that supposedly saw it. It crashed and the alien was hurt. And there's a documentary about it. And these women found it and it happened.

Asked them to help him I don't know if it Spoke to them telepathically Or it spoke Portuguese Maybe it took Babel I don't know Yeah And then the government came in And it took it away Yeah It would have been But Alright Sorry Good? Yeah Alright I'll say one more Sophia Sophia is a humanoid robot Who Yeah Threatened to

Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Well, she got Saudi Arabian citizenship in 2017. Oh, they asked her one time what like something. And she was like, I want to destroy humans or something like that. Oh, yeah. 60 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah. It's a person. It's social robot that can mimic social behavior and induce feelings of love and humans. So not good. Not good at all. Yeah.

Now, there are robots that keep people, like elderly people, keep them company. In Japan, there's one called Wakamara. Yeah, I mean, this is how they get you to accept it. Yeah. Right. It's for your own good. We're doing this for you. Yeah, ego. Well, there's some robots. There's some nice robots, guys. Come on. I think I'm the only one here on board with robots. You're like, listen, Grandma, I'm pretty busy. Here's a robot. Talk to this for a while. You're on board? You like all this stuff? Well, I mean, you got to regulate it. I think it will be like Terminator, but.

I just think Terminator's not a fun, happy group. You guys are being the three grumpy old men and I'm

Every new technology. You're not going to have to deal with all this. Brian's older than us. That's true. Yeah, exactly. I'm out of here in a couple years anyway. Yeah, exactly. Let the chips fall where they may. All right, you're right. You're right. You guys are going to have to deal with this. Listen, I'll get to see it when it's all fun and friendly. Yeah. You'll be in the woods. Yeah, I'll be out of here. Yeah, if they were using that snake thing. Yeah, they'll come get me. Yeah.

You'll put up a fight at least. Oh, yeah. You're going to make sure it costs them some money to come get you. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. I'm not going in voluntarily. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Be ready. Even if the robots talk to old people, I'd imagine those old people would like to still talk to maybe their family or a person. Yeah. Yeah. Go in there, the robots slapping your grandma around. Yeah. I think there's some old people that probably have no family. Like Ben Stiller and Happy Gilmore. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You're in my world now, grandma. But the point is they get to a point where these old people won't be able to tell. Yeah. And they'll sit there and they think they're talking to their granddaughter. They can maybe even get to that now. Gosh, yeah. I mean, these... Can you pull this up? The Wacom Mirror? I'm sorry. Wacom Mirror, just to show what it looks like. It's an ultra-compact helper robot. It can also use sensors to help you with your health. I think it's kind of like a life alert. Oh, yeah. Like check stuff?

Wakamaru. Oh, this thing. Oh, well, they know that's a robot. I've seen this. Yeah, because they remember this from the Jetsons. Yeah. That looks like the mage from the cartoon. Yeah. That terrifies. That's probably giving old people heart attacks. Wow, dude. You want company? Send in the yellow...

beady eyed robot. I'm just imagining Billy. Is that you? Sicken that thing on my grandfather and see how he would handle it. I mean, would you get to a point where no accidents would ever happen? Like you're just maybe walking around with like a backpack that just is checking your vitals and everything constantly and your surroundings and your and centering and all this. And so then you could get to like you're never going to

fall you know like airbags in a car like you're going to be car wrecks are probably going to go who has an incentive for us to to get rid of all those things uh well i mean doctors don't but i mean yeah big pharma everyone else they're going to prevent all this from happening because they want us to keep getting hurt and keep having diseases yeah you know well they're let only so much of that's true so i don't know who exactly has an incentive it'd have to be a truly altruistic

Force. Would be control. I don't think it would be money as much as it would be control. Yeah, you're right. Like it's the government. Or they could just say, you're sick, we're going to treat it, and then it just deducts money from your bank account. Yeah, they would charge you. They got to pay for their robots. Yeah, but it gives you a massage while it's doing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a case in, I think this is in Germany, at the Volkswagen plant where a robot killed somebody. It grabbed it and crushed it.

And I think it went to court. And then they said, well, it was the robots in there. Robots got rights. I plead the Fifth Amendment. How does he know this stuff? Please raise your right hand. I don't have hands. Hand on the Bible. Still stained with blood from crushing the guy. What is that on your hand? It's paint. I don't know if I believe this guy. Catch up.

He's got to get, he's got six humans and six robots in the jury. Cause it's going to be of your peers, jury of your peers. And you go, this ain't going good. And they're like, I don't think you did it. You're like, I don't know. I don't know about this guy. All right. That's it. Yeah. That's fun. Robots. It's all scary. It's all fun. It's all fun. Scary. Uh, all right. Yeah. It's going to be a wild ride. It's going to be, yeah. Enjoy it. Uh,

I, uh, yeah, we're about to get out of here. I, uh, I don't know where I'm at. North Charleston coming up on red rocks. Um, yeah. Uh, announced it yesterday. We're at the six show in St. Paul, Minnesota show, six show Minneapolis. Uh, St. Paul is where it's at. I think that it's all the same. And then, uh, Dayton, Springfield, all that. Go to the website. You'll see it. Uh, you Greg, check out Greg Warren special. Yeah. Thank you.

So it does happen if you're in the LA area, Irvine and then Ontario, California tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I'll be at the Virginia beach. Funny bone.

So that's going to be great. All new material. Yeah. Well, no, I will be trying out some stuff because I'm pretty, but I haven't been to Virginia beach at a long time. So whatever I did there would probably be new. But the, I got a few theater dates where I'll be in, you know,

Chattanooga, Austin, Bowling Green, Kentucky. And they're later in the year. But, you know, that's a new development. Some big shows. New development for me to be at some theater dates.
