Our fifth guest, the Bigfoot expert. All right. Oh, kind of stepped on the joke. It was a good joke.

I'm saying it's a good joke. Babe ruined it. Oh, I didn't know what was going on. I was just on the fly. You just got to roll with me. That's hot. You got to keep up like Robin Williams over here. Yeah. It's all over the place. It was a solid joke. It was a good joke in the eighties and still relatable now. Yeah. Uh, yeah. 150. Well, thank you for listening to all that. That's, that's crazy. Did you think we'd have an eight land shirt still going 150 episodes in? Uh,

I don't know. I honestly don't think I thought really much past anything. I thought it would be farther along in my career and I wouldn't have to do this. So that means 300 hours? Roughly. Just 300 hours of just talking. That is amazing. Just wisdom. Yeah. Learning. Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot of talking.

I mean, y'all don't know what it feels like, but... It's a lot of us listening. Yeah. I've done 300 hours of talking. They did about 75. Yeah. 75 hours. That's not much.

No. Yeah. Well, here we are. All right. We had a good – I was in Charleston this weekend. Wonderful weekend. Went there a day early, saw Big J, Shane Gillis, Tim Dillon, Nick Mullen, and they did a show the night before. A little bit dirty. It's crazy. It's crazy.

Everybody's so funny. They did so good. Shane Gillis is, I mean, he destroyed. Everybody destroyed. Nick Mullen's super funny, too. Nick Mullen's super funny, too. I mean, and obviously Jay. I've been friends forever. And Tim. But it is funny. Their show is a much dirtier show. Their music, when people come in,

was like i was like wow like you don't ever think about it being different and uh you know you're just doing your own little show on the road and whatever and then i walk in we're all hanging out i mean i ran i was like their tour manager because of course none of them they're doing an arena they did uh charleston and they did the hershey arena the show sold out hershey giants arena uh shane is from there and uh but it's uh

I go in and I was helping them. I was like, what time did y'all soundcheck? They weren't going to do soundcheck. I was like, y'all should go do soundcheck. It's an arena. It's different. You need to go up there. Matt McCuster, Shane's podcast I was hosted.

And then they were like, Oh, we're just bringing each other up. I was like, no, he needs to go bring you up individually. Cause I was like trying to like, I was like, this is a big show. Y'all are doing this big arena. I'm this four or 5,000 people here. Like go, like everybody needs their own separate entrance. And you know, like, uh,

And they really put on such a great show and people had so much fun. But I mean, I was working, dude. I was tour manager. I was like, I was calling shots. I go, we'll be over there. I found out the soundcheck. None of them were like, who do we talk to? I was like, this is a nightmare. And so I was like, we're out eating. I'm like texting everybody trying to be like, what time we need to be there? I'm not even on the show. Didn't even go up.

But I mean, I was busy. Do they not have somebody like? No, it's like when you first start going out, you're just not going to have someone. You just you know, you're when you first start doing it, you're just not. You're just going to promotion people kind of handle it. Yeah. Yeah. The promoter kind of does it. And you just kind of go, what time may I be there? And, you know, you know, I understand why. But that's why I was like, these are such big shows, though, that it was I enjoyed being, you know, I don't mind telling people what to do.

Tell those guys. So I enjoyed. But what about the, like the music just, it was dirty. Yeah. Like who was the artist? Do you know? Uh, I mean, I walked in there, but DMX. Uh, so yeah, I mean, I've had, I've had clubs like that where I'm like, you know, I'm like asked for it to be like, you know, everybody that's opening to be clean. And then like the intro music, like not the intro, but the loaded music is like the filthiest music. I'm like, this doesn't, this is not adding up here. They don't even think about it. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it was. That was just the funny part is like I was like, man, I mean, I walked in. I was like, that's like, so people will walk into this. All right. All right. Yeah. And I think they even cleaned it up a little bit like they put some stuff. They had to take some of it, you know, because they were just straight up playing.

You know, I mean, look, people don't think about, you know, like, I mean, a lot of, it doesn't matter. Do whatever you want to do. They don't. I mean, like this show I did in Alabama one time, it was like a lot of my family and friends and like older relatives that probably have never even been to a comedy show. And there's just blasting, just the filthiest music. And I'm like,

Kind of read the room here. You know what I mean? Switch to a classic rock station. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know? Yeah. It's a, yeah, I loved what, I mean, it was fun. It's always fun to get to go to a show and not have to do anything and just get to watch it. And so we got to do that. And especially sitting in these arenas, like I wouldn't, we went and set it a few different spots, which was nice. Cause it's like when, you know, now that I doing some of them, you're like, Oh, let me go see what it looks like for the audience.

When I'm up here to see, you know, what's the best scenario. And so it was very cool to get to do that. And I enjoy. Yeah. I mean, I enjoyed it. I mean, yeah, they're the opposite. Obviously, you know, what I do is different, but that's what these are. Some of my, you know, me and Jay have been friends for 20 years.

And, but I, that's what I love. Like these guys, you know, I've always been clean. They never, no one ever made me feel weird about being clean. Uh, I just stay doing what I do. They do what they do. And like, that's what I love about comedians is, uh, there's a, just a, yeah, you're just friends with people that you're like, yeah, I wouldn't, you would not think I would be friends with them, but you know, they're good people and they're nice people. And, and,

you know, and you don't feel like, you know, that I was fortunate to be even around that world. Never like felt like I was being bullied into being dirty or something. Like they were all like, yeah, you just do that. And no one cares. And they're like, yeah, that's your thing. That's all. Yeah. I like that you do, you know, and it's, uh, it's, it's, I love it. It's awesome. Uh, so yeah, it was good. And then, uh, then we had our shows in Charleston, uh,

hung out in Charleston. It's a great town. It's the new bachelor place. I think it's the number one now. Is it really? Well, Charleston's the best. A random person said that, so I don't know, you know, but it's. Well, Charleston is awesome though. It's the best. I love Charleston. Yeah. I lived there for 10 years. Yeah. It was a fun, I mean, a lot, a lot of bachelor party, a lot of big, like, you know, just seeing, I mean, a lot of the,

People get tore up down there. Yes, they do. Yeah. It's got like a New Orleans vibe a little. It does. Yeah. You know. Bit of a cleaner New Orleans. Yeah. Yeah. But it's wild, though. It is wild. Yeah. I quit drinking in Charleston. I mean, I was like, all right, I've had enough. You know what I mean? You got it all out. Yeah. Yeah. It's too much. Yeah. It's too much. Can't find any data.

on this. But here's a report. Charleston among top destinations for bachelorette parties. There you go. I bet per capita it's probably bigger than Nashville. Okay. No, I agree. That makes sense. There's a guy who said it, so I don't even remember who said it. Might not be true.

I mean, I know every time I'm at the airport in Nashville, I see multiple bachelorette parties coming and going. Yeah, with a sash. You don't hear about bachelor parties. There's never a ranking for bachelor parties. They're usually not wearing a sash. Vegas always thinks. I guess you wouldn't know. It's hard to tell because dudes will just also go on a dude trip. That's true. Like a golf trip or something like that. And they're not wearing matching shirts. Yeah. Crowns. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That's fun, though.

I think women have, that's, did you do a bachelor party? Uh, yeah. And yeah, my buddies came out to New York. Cause right when I moved to New York, so they did comedy and Laura did, I think I picked Laura up at her bachelorette party. They went to Zany's. That's like, do not talk.

It's notorious. Bachelorette parties, they want to go to a comedy club and they drink too much. They get loud. In theory, you think you want to do it. It's not a good idea. Unless you're going to sit and watch the show. You

You don't really want to be doing it. You want to go to a bar. You want to go talk. Talk to each other. They think it's going to be about them. Yeah, exactly what they want. To be about them. Because I thanked, I remember thanking a bachelorette party at the end of my show one time. And the look the girl gave me was like, oh, now you mention us. And I was like, wow.

The right time. This is the right time to mention you. I opened for Dusty at Goonies in Rochester, Minnesota. And there's a bachelorette party there. And me and Dusty were outside. And this girl came up. She goes, we're here for a bachelorette party. So if you want some intel on the bride. And Dusty was like, nah.

I'm not going to do any of that. But do you remember the intel she gave us was her mom owns a skincare company and she has terrible skin. Do you remember this? She was saying like horrifically mean stuff about the bride to be. And I'm like, we're not going to touch any. What am I supposed to be like? Look, does your mom own a skincare company? Because you have pimples all over your face. Like that's what she wanted us to do. And we didn't.

That checks out. Yeah, I mean. Women can be vicious, right? That's how it felt. You are hideous. Who would marry you? Yeah. Golly. Minnesota nice. That's what they call it. Is that real?

Well, Minnesota nice is what they say is where they'll be nice to you, to your face, but then not behind your back. That's like a bless your heart. Yes, exactly. Something to bless your heart. Then on your bachelor party, you stayed out all night and that next morning you were walking through Times Square and ran into someone you knew from like back home and just avoided them because you just didn't want to deal with them. It was just like two. Yeah, I saw him. Someone I knew from home. And I was like the odds of me seeing someone at home in Times Square. Yeah.

But you're just like, I don't want to. On your bachelor weekend. Yeah. You're like, and you just, I just went the other way. I was very close to him. And then I just kind of zipped up in the, back in the crowd and ducked away. So that's what, yeah, that's what I did. Where were y'all? Saturday, I did a show here in Nashville for Nashville Intercity Ministry, a wonderful organization. A lot of nice people there.

the show. And then last night I was in Austin for the first time at cap city comedy club. Oh, nice. Great show. A lot of folks came out. All right. Sold a lot of shirts. Yeah. Wonderful, wonderful people. Yeah. It's a great club. Oh, and a woman, um,

I was walking to the club and a woman pulled up in her minivan and, and rolled down the window. And she said, we came to see your show. It was her and her two daughters. She said, but we just didn't even realize you can't get in unless you're 18. So she said, you know, we're going back home, but, uh,

Just to let everybody know, it's not our decision. It's just clubs. Usually you got to be 18 or older to get to clubs. Oh, yeah. For 21. 18 to laugh, 21 to drink. Yeah. Yeah, just because it's at a... Like, mine are all ages, but I'm at a performing arts club. Right. Club, legally, is like a bar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Did you at least stop and say hi to him? No, I had to keep going. It's like, lady, you ain't buying tickets. I got nothing for you. No, I did. I stopped and talked to him and we did a picture, but I felt bad, but I just want people to know we're clean, but you can go to any age for Nate show, but not at a club. Yeah. Yeah. I had a weird, I was in California. I did the Irvine improv and then the Ontario improv. Thank you to everyone that came out. Great crowds, great times, but yeah,

So we check out of the Airbnb we stayed at Irvine. I had to check out at 10 and then the show in Ontario is not till 8 PM. So it was one of those days where you're just literally just like looking for ways to kill time. Yeah. I mean, we drove, we ate. So now we've got like six hours to kill before the show. So we went and played. Uh, I was with my buddy, Joe Kelly. He came with him. We played putt putt. Let me tell you something, dude.

I'm good at putt-putt. Oh, really? I feel like I could take all three of you. I know you're a better putter. Yeah. But I think there's a lot more variables at play in, like, mini golf. I'm pretty confident. Like a windmill, a ramp, you know, you got to ricochet off stuff. I feel like it's a lot about, like, heart. Yeah. And I feel like I could take all three of you. What a heart. Yeah. I felt pretty good about how I – Did you shoot under par?

Well, it's not really important. You know, there's a lot of stuff going on. I did. I made a few hole in ones, dude. Okay. Yeah. I felt good about it. Yeah. Really talking a big game for not really keeping school. Well, it's not, again, it's not about the score. It's about, I mean, I, you friendships you make along the way. It's about the journey. Yeah. I mean, I'm good for two or three holes and putt putt. And then I'm about done. You get bored with it. I mean, that's, Oh, that's what mini golf is. It's each hole is a new adventure. Do you know what's going to happen? Well,

Okay. Yeah, you can't make it all the way through? You got to hit it through a clown's mouth or something. I saw you hit it in the windmill and the ball got lost. I did get a ball got eaten. Yeah. Like a coin in a vending machine. That was pretty disappointing. That's DQ'd right there. Yeah. So then you're out now.

No, I just took a drop. That's a penalty. Yeah. You're lying three. Yeah. But I was, I was like a six or so, but you know, a hole in one, the next hole, a six or seven will kill you on a, you just can't get something like that. Yeah.

Threes are, I mean, you almost, threes are tough. You gotta. I think almost all of them were par threes. Are they? I think they're twos. The course, the course that I played, like at most, it's a par three. Yeah. Like the long ones. So. Yeah. Yeah. If you do a, I had a couple of nine or 10, 10 stroke holes.

You know, where you just get. I mean, wait, I think you might be terrible at. No, no, no, no, no, no. Look, we played a couple rounds. That was the first round. I figured it out. I'm just saying I feel much better about that than like putting on an actual green. It's yeah. They putt putt is I love putt putt and it's very fun. And you can find a good one. We try to go walk and do one when we I did. I was at Disney doing a corporate thing.

and like that like where we were they had a puppet near there but it was i think it was packed because it can either be packed or no one's there there's really no in between there's nobody at this one we had the whole place to ourselves that's how there's puppet is very you know it's either like good luck it'll take five hours or there haven't seen someone for three weeks there's no no balance

in between. Tiger Woods is doing a, like a pop stroke thing here in Nashville. What is that? Uh, I don't, I've only seen pictures, but I, I think it's like a putt putt, but maybe a, a long putt putt, like maybe it's a 80 yard, you know,

hole or something. Oh, wow. Yeah. But like he's, uh, he's, that's what I need. She's like too short for me. That's what I find. Yeah. I don't know. It's a real challenge. They say expanding to Tennessee and Nevada. Yeah. Yeah. They're coming to Tennessee. And so I, yeah, I don't, I don't know. It looks like a little bit longer of a thing, but it's, it's putt putt.

Pop stroke. I mean, a pop stroke is you just like, I mean, it's a yeah, it's just putting to Papa, but it's a big one. Yeah, this looks cool. Yeah. Where are they putting this in Nashville? I don't know. I didn't see Nashville on the list. Did you see it? No, I thought the article said it though. No, they're coming to Nashville. Does he strike me as a trampoline guy? I do love the trampoline.

I grew up with trampolines. Yeah, that's what I figured. I mean, I was, yeah, I was all about a trampoline. We weren't golfers. We were jumpers. Yeah. You know, we had a trampoline next to a tree, next to the deck. I mean, we'd jump off the tree onto the trampoline, flips, no padding, no siding. You'd jump into anything, a pool or anything like that? Oh, yeah. We pulled it next to the pool one time, jumped out into the pool. Yeah. It was great.

There's trampoline places here in Nashville you can go to. There is a trampoline park. I'm a member. I became a member for my daughter. Okay. Well, never mind. Excuse me. Yeah. Latitude, I think is what it's called or something. I forget what it's called, but it's, yeah, it's awesome. We go there and she doesn't know how to jump yet, but she runs. Altitude? Altitude. Yeah. What did I say? It's about the same, right? You just switch the A and the L around. Yeah. But, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it's awesome. I love the trampoline park. I don't know what they call them. What do they call them? The parallel bars? I don't know. They used to be called the monkey bars. I don't know what they're called now, but they're awesome. They're probably still called monkey bars. You really do just switch the L and A and altitude and latitude. Is that right? It kind of worked out. Those two kind of feel like lazy. I think so, too. When they did those words, they were like,

I feel like you do that trampling. You're going to need a good night's sleep on a Helix mattress. Well, that is true. And you know what? Uh, the,

Yeah. It's interesting because I'd like to thanks, uh, I say thanks to our friends at Helix Sleep for sponsoring this episode because I own a Helix mattress that I sleep on and I have several Helix pillows and they're the best. Matter of fact, I just bought a new Helix mattress for my daughter. I haven't set it up yet, but she's still in a crib. But when, when, you know, I slept on a, uh,

a secondhand mattress for 10 years. Yeah. And, uh, so I've finally made enough money so that my daughter will get her own mattress and it'll be good. First generation, first generation, no spring sticking out through the fabric. It's going to be great.

It's clean. It smells good. She's so spoiled already. And Helix Sleep is a premium mattress brand that provides tailored mattresses based on your unique sleep preferences. The Helix lineup includes 14 unique mattresses. And I had a great time. I loved it.

And, you know, I like sometimes when the shows are rough, you know, because, you know, you get to really mix it up. If the show was rough and like your best jokes feel like they're not hitting the way you'd like them to hit, then I just do new stuff. And then I'm like, oh, this is because I'm like,

I don't know. It's a great time to try it out. Cause I can't save the show with my actual good material. But the show was great, but I had, you know, I just filmed a special, so I'm trying to work on new stuff anyway. So I'm like, it was a great opportunity. It probably frees you. It frees you up. Cause you're not in a rhythm of just saying the jokes. Yes. And so you're just kind of like, all right, I can kind of find it and mix it in with, I guess talking to the crowd or not. Yeah. I mean,

The showroom air conditioner was broke, but the lobby air conditioner worked. So when people would leave the show, you would just see them have this like

Uh, just like, uh, you know, just this great merch sales. It was great for merch sales and it was good cigar weather. I mean, I like it out there. Yeah. I got, uh, you know, a guy at a pizza place. Uh, he recognized me walking down the street, brought me right in, gave me a free piece of pizza. Really? Yeah. Wow. It was great. That's nice. Yeah. And you were in the mood for it. I was, I was like, you know what? I will have a piece of pizza right now. Yeah. Yeah.

Just one piece? It was huge. But yeah, it was one piece. It was like half a pizza. Yeah. I was like, I really didn't expect it to be that big. Did you get, what was it, pepperoni? I just got cheese. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure he appreciated that. Yeah. Yeah, I kept it easy on him. You know what I mean? I didn't waste a lot of his meat. Let me show you my pizza. All right, I would love to try it. Just cheese only. Yeah, yeah. Dab some of that grease off too. Yeah.

All right, let's start with some of your comments, guys. James Nolan, I've literally just returned from my father's funeral for some light relief. I started this week's episode, Robots.

Watching Aaron try to explain logic to Nate had me crying all the tears that I've managed to hold in for most of the day. I'm literally howling and laughing to the point that my wife had to check on me in case I finally had the emotional break that apparently is on the way. I feel a weight being lifted, and I just want to thank you guys for the funny, especially today. Well, we appreciate that, James. Yeah, absolutely. Hate that for you, buddy. Appreciate it.

Mandy Sharp, absolutely love this episode. I started working in a local flower shop at age 12, local pizza place through high school in a local bank as an adult. All of those business owners helped me learn the importance of great customer service. The downside is that now I'm saddened by the major decline in customer service in so many industries. It makes me want to start a mom lecture when I see employees not being professional and making the customer feel appropriated.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, oh man, it's so true. We talked about that a bunch and, and, and you had, I think you had a joke about this on your first album, but it's like a mom and pop shops. Like my wife went to a, uh, like a local butcher shop and she bought some lamb and she was like asking him, she'd go, how should I prepare the lamb? And they're like,

I don't know. And it's like, well, I thought you guys were the meat experts here. You know what I mean? Like we're coming to you to support a local business and you're acting like it's a crazy question to be like, how would I cook this? Yeah. That's in general. They just get, you get people that work there and no one cares. So there's no, there's no incentive to be like, Hey, this is all, you know, be proud of what you're doing and you're working here. So represent the people. It's just kind of like, I'm just, this is my job, dude. And then you just move on to the next.

thing and there's more that and you very surprising to be at a local butcher you think there's the first person ever ordered lamb yeah maybe so maybe so but they were like so there's a way for you to be like i don't know yeah but not be dismissible right but you should know you should know it's it's it's uh if you're a butcher that you know you're not like uh

If you went to the grocery store and got lamb and the guy didn't know, and I think that guy would know. Right. But if he didn't know, you'd be like, okay, well, I mean, he might just be like, I don't, I'm not a butcher shop. Yeah. That's literally what he might tell you. I'm not a butcher shop is what he would say to you. Yeah. And then you're like, all right, well, maybe I'll go to a butcher shop. And they're like, dude, we're not. They're like, we don't know, man. Kroger. Yeah. But you know, yeah, it's so, it's so wild how customer service is now. It's so bad.

Leon, Leonel, Leonel, Leonel Perez. The rant about shipping makes me laugh because Nate doesn't understand younger people's sense of humor. It's a joke. Just listen to Dusty's podcast and you sure you hate your C. You will see he hates shipping things too.

Well, if on our debate there, though, my hats cost thirty five dollars. This painting was twelve hundred dollars. Seven hundred. I thought you said. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like, that's a bit different. If somebody's spending seventeen hundred bucks, I'm ready to ship. Yeah. But I do hate shipping. Now, Nate, as a professional comedian, do you feel like sometimes you have trouble recognizing humor?

And recognizing a joke. Yeah. Especially us young people. Well, yeah, no, I, I get the, uh, it is a joke and I get the humor and that is something that I've thought about. Like, why can't I just laugh this off? Like,

she is or like probably a lot of people yeah that is something i there's part of me i don't want to have to only think about that shipping part but i i i i i can't but uh yeah look there to be fair that is like i take a lot of stuff serious but i think there's seriousness behind it

So I like, she doesn't want to do shipping. So I think there is seriousness behind it. And you're still throwing that on the customer that goes back to the customer service thing. Your relationship with the customer shouldn't be this like, so like we're buddies, like, you know, it's, it's, you know, to be like, dude, I don't want to ship. And you're like, yeah, dude, it's your, I'm your friend, whatever. It's like, you're trying to, again, you're charging an insane amount of money.

For your AI painting. Yeah, for your AI painting. That I think it's like, I should never have to be anywhere at all. But I don't think a lot of people think, some people wouldn't think, like, you know, like Laura would have probably just laughed and been like, oh, that's funny. Like, and then not really thought about it. Like, whatever, where I will just be like...

No. Yeah. Like you're, I mean, I can't get past it, but that's something that I can work on. But I've just thought of two things. You ever see at a bar, they have a sign that says tipping is not a city in China. Yeah. I don't care for that. I don't like that either. No, it's when P yeah, it's like trying to be mean or funny. It's,

you know, it's like seeing like when you see like homeless dudes like have signs and then, you know, you see one that's like, oh, that's funny. I've never seen that. And then you're in that just then you start seeing that everywhere. And you're like, that's the vibe. That's like this works kind of be rude. And this like they're just trying to find a way to like get your attention. Yeah. But now we're in a phase of the world where I mean, people are rude. Yeah. So niceness is should kind of go start going back up.

I that's what I think. I think it's I don't think that girl or whoever was it did that. The thing, the shipping is like there. I don't I don't think she is doing it in a sense. I think she thinks it's OK to do that. Yeah. And I think she's like she's just like, I just tell him I don't want to ship. And then they think that's OK because they're cutting corners into, you know.

That's just what I believe. They're not doing the whole point, like I said. To me, that's her way of saying, I don't really need to sell these. Yeah.

You know, like if I'm in a restaurant and I go, how's the, you know, the steak? And they go, I don't know. I don't eat beef. You know, it's like, well, learn the stuff around. Oh, yeah. Well, lie. Yeah. Yeah. Lie. Just it's a lot of it. Just keep the let's keep the conversation going. I don't want to have to be a whole thing when you don't have to tell me something about you. Yeah. When there's no need for I'm not telling something about me.

It's like when people order the steak, are they complaining about it? Are they sending it back? Are they going, it's delicious? I do like when a server is honest and they're like, I'll be honest, those aren't very good. Me too. And you're like, oh, man. I like that too, but then there's part of me that I think, well, now you're just saying. They know to just say that. It's all like I can say whatever. I used to tell people that. I truly believe that I think you're a genuine person.

So that's what I have to do. I have to really be like, do I believe this person? Do I believe they're telling me the truth? Or do I believe that they're just like, you're dusty over here. Well, I worked at a restaurant. They were serving seafood and they started doing steak for a little while and people would order it and they never liked it. So I started telling people, I was like, don't get that. Don't do it.

uh i did think someone did you even put the one about me being tired and ranting that's not in here right like that did there's some like that nick gets tired there's a lot of ranting that could be true yeah i know i got on a rant with that was like if i come in and i'm tired it's uh it's interesting why does that happen how are you feeling today uh i don't know we'll find out yeah we'll see uh but it isn't like i guess it's like you're why would you you know you get tired you get let me tell you something

That's how I am. Getting old, old man-ish. That's what I like about getting older. It's like, it's like okay to not like stuff and complain about things now that I'm older. Like if people invite me to do things and I don't do it, it feels okay now. Because I'm like, well, I'm in my forties.

What are you looking at? I'm just getting ahead of the comments here. All right. No, that's fun. For once. Ike Spore. Ike Spore. That's the guy's name. Yeah. Spore. His last name. S-P-O-L-R. I think that's his real name. Ike Spore. Ike Spore. I think those names go great together, though. Yeah. I think if your last name's Spore, I think they nailed it with an Ike. Is Ike short for Dwight?

No, I don't know. I don't think it's short. Well, didn't they call Dwight Eisenhower Ike? Yeah, I guess they did. I don't know. Is that more to do with the Eisenhower? I don't know. He was your president. Yeah, he voted for him. I voted for his opponent. I explore. That's a good name. Yeah. And if it could have been, you know, not good. Well done. I think it's pretty on par for this podcast when breakfast calls Isaac Asimov some guy.

And then doubles down with some writer. Love the show so much. Keep it up, folks. Okay, so this was the guy who came up with the three robot laws. And apparently he's one of the greatest science fiction writers ever. I didn't know him, but he wrote... So iRobot... I've seen iRobot. It's been almost 20 years. In iRobot, they talk about these three robot laws. This guy wrote, I guess...

He didn't write the movie, but he wrote maybe a short novel that they based the movie off of in iRobot. So I guess he's a big deal. I just didn't know him. The movie was a flop, though, huh? iRobot? I don't think so. Wasn't Will Smith in it? Yeah, but I thought it was a real flop. I don't know. I think it probably made some money. I think it did, too. I mean, it was a famous... We've all heard of it. I think when Will Smith was doing the movie, he just didn't make... He ain't gonna make a flop then.

I was going to try to rewatch it to see, but I didn't. But I think the three laws, kind of to Nate's point, they don't work out like they're supposed to. $120 million budget worldwide. It made $353 million. So probably not as well as they thought it would do, but it still made over $120 million. But not great, though. Yeah, not Avatar. Right. Yeah, I mean, yeah. It costs $120 million to make a movie.

I mean, you just go like, who's the prices are? Who's doing the prices? Yeah. I mean, what, how do you budget out $120 million? I don't know. Like, it's just, I know. I mean, I get stuff adds up. I mean, I know on a small scale of production that we do, like I get it adds up and it's like, but I mean, for something that big, how do you even,

go this will be about 120 million dollars how could you ever even say that's in a huge portion of that's marketing right don't they say that's like oh yeah percent of it or something maybe even more than that i know yeah and word of mouth is the you know best marketing you get make something good uh nate wagner in regards to the robots a1 uh ai ai discussion

Steak sauce. Robots in the steak sauce discussion. What are your guys' thoughts in regards to Roko's Basilisic thought experiment? Basilisk. Basilisic. Basilisic. Basilisk. Roko's. Roko's Basilisic. Is that it?

I mean, I think, yeah, we get what's going on. Basilisk. Basilisk. Basilisk. Basilisk is what I thought. What are you saying? I say basilisk, but I'm thinking of the Harry Potter term basilisk. Here we go. Harry Potter. Basilisk. Basilisk. That's a robot saying it. I don't know if I believe that. It's AI saying it. Yeah, yeah. Basilisk.

Roko's Basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent AI in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development.

It's basically saying once AI starts running things, if we didn't help it out to get where it was going as much as possible, it's going to torture us. And just like get you out of the way. You're just a waste. You're a means to an end. Or punish us. AI is demons. I mean, it totally is. Yeah. You're Bobby Boucher's mom. I mean, it is. It's not the devil, but it is demons. Yeah.

but we created well that we we claimed to we summoned it probably we called it up basilics it was in the bullpen warming up and we yeah yeah i mean we made the call we made the call we didn't create it get it warmed up yeah yeah what's his i don't know it's pretty complicated it's very complicated i try to read it and understand what's a thought experiment i mean that's like

People get paid for that, right? Think tank. Oh, yeah. They just get a, you know. Well, this just originated from a post on a message board. Yeah. So this is not like, this doesn't come from a formal scientific paper or anything. So meaning he just put it out there. So is the guy's name Rosick? And people thought about it. Is that his name? Roko? Roko. Is this the guy's name? Yeah.

Roko... Roko's... The thought experiment's names arise from the poster of the article, Roko, and the Basilisk, a mythical creature capable of destroying enemies with its stare. Which is exactly how the Basilisk works in Harry Potter, by the way. Just so everybody knows. In the future, there would be, instead of the creative virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence. Yeah, I don't... I mean, what's the... It's...

all this stuff seems crazy to me. Like, it's like, while the theory was initially dismissed, you're like, why would it even be dismissed if it's a thought experiment? Like who would go, I'm a thought experiment. And he says it and you go dismissed. And you go, well, we're just talking. Like the point of it is we're supposed to talk. And he goes, no dismissed. And then like two weeks later, he goes, God, I can't get that thought. Yeah. Thing you brought up in my head. I can't get it out. You know what? I'm going to, uh,

Yeah, it was nothing but conjecture. I don't know what the conjecture was. That's like nonsense. Yeah. Nothing but nonsense or speculation. You're like, well, it's a thought experiment. The whole point of a thought experiment is speculation, right? Yeah. That's the whole. Yeah. He goes, what is that, speculation? I mean, what are we doing, dude? We're in a think tank. Like, this, all it is is speculation. They reported users who described symptoms such as nightmares and mental breakdowns upon reading the theory due to its stipulations.

stipulation that knowing about the theory in its basilisk made one vulnerable to the basilisk itself. That would be a demon, not a rogue. Yeah, you better have Jesus. Yeah, that would be A1. It's that important. We should say A1 instead of... Yeah, really cut it down. Bring it down a notch. Big fan of A1, too. I like 57 better. I used to put it on corn.

I don't do it. I could put it on corn. I just put it on rice back in the day. Oh, yeah. When I was... A little potato. Let's go with potatoes, too. Yeah. Like a little mashed potato. Come on. I would do it. Come on. Yeah. I would do that. Yeah. I could... I like it on rice, but not potatoes. I didn't have potatoes. If I... I could drink it, probably. Yeah.

If I had one of the condiment, I could maybe drink. That'd be the one you'd take? I think I could. I think I could get it down. Like Heinz, I think would be a lot on its own. And I love Heinz. A1, I think I could drink. A1's the most viscous. Like it'd be the easiest to drink. Yeah. What's that? Viscosity. Liquidity. It's like ballistic. Uh-huh. Rokos?

Yeah, Rocco's. Yeah, I think A1 I could get. Rocco's A1. I like Heinz 57 a lot too. Now, I do Heinz 57 more than I do A1 now, but I'm saying if I had to drink it. That's a good sauce. Back in the day when you have no money and I would eat just a can of corn and put A1 in it, and I loved it. Loved it. I think technically it's the least viscous. I just looked at it. Wow.

Either way, viscosity is important. It's more liquidy, right? Yeah, viscosity is a resistance to flow. So a ketchup would be highly viscous. Yes. Because it doesn't want to come out. Yeah, it doesn't work like water is not viscous. Oh, yeah. A1 is the most. Very thin. You can barely keep it in. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's what I meant. I just got the words mixed up. Yeah, that was. And I'm sorry. The only thing less viscous, it may be Dale's.

You should be more viscous and not just say everything out of your mouth. Vassaless. Vassaless. What was viscous? Viscous means it doesn't come out good? If something's viscous, highly viscous, that means it's resistant to being poured. That's what I mean. Your words should be that. Okay. You shouldn't just let them flow out like A1. You should have to do a couple...

Paps in the back of your head. Yeah, you really want to hit the 57. You just go, well, and then you're like, sorry guys, I'm wrong. You know, just give it a little. So out of those 300 hours, he should back off the 75. Yeah, 75 is too much. But look what we've learned. Now we've all learned about

I love that this guy wants to know our thoughts on this thought experiment, which is the scariest thing in humanity. A1, so now I'm saying AI tortured us and we go into a five minute rant about which steak sauce we could drink the best. I don't know if this is something we're particularly equipped to talk about. It's all made up. I mean, this thought stuff is, you know, what are we doing? But that is what we think about. I would like to. I love it. That's why I love it. That's what we think. The thing is,

The think tanks and thoughts and all that stuff. I would like to, I'd like to like be in charge of that just to like, I think there's a lot of extra money being spent for no reason. I think there's a lot. That's what I, that's, you know, you want to go back to the top of the shipping is I think you're in that world now. There's a lot more thought than there is actual doing now. It's all just thought and talking like, who even comes up with this?

How crazy do you even come up with that idea to be like, what about robots? They won. What if they torture us? And you go, what do you, what do you got in your mind? And then that's all speculation. And then you're like, well, now I got it in my head. I think, are they going to torture? And you're like, why did you even, what would make you go to that? We don't even have like,

Whenever they came up with this, when did they come up with this? I mean, it was a message board, so it's pretty recently. It was just on a message board. Yeah. So they're even, like, how are we even, so this has made it to, like, the books? Yeah, 2010. There's a 2010 post. And it's in books now. People are, like, talking about it. It's got a whole Wikipedia entry. What's this thing you're showing us here? This is a visual depiction of a mythical basilisk. Yeah, so look at that thing and tell me that what I said earlier is crazy. Yeah.

I mean, come on. But they have a sword. But they can beat you with a stare. What are you going to do? Just not look at them in the eye? A serpent looking thing. Don't look at them in the eye. What animal do you not look in the eye? There was an animal I just watched that said, don't look them in the eye. A penguin? A bear. A grizzly bear. Grizzly bear, they're like, don't look it in the eye. I saw someone walking away from one the other day. Where were you? No, I get sent...

bear videos constantly. I'll tell you, man, in real life, you saw a guy walking by. No, no, I saw a video and they go, and you just hear some lady in the back, she goes, don't look him in the eye! It's such a funny, like, they can't, you know, they just, someone's like, then it's, once someone says that, you're like,

Now all I want to do is look just bare in the eye. So how do I not, you know. Some dogs, they say, don't make eye contact with. Yeah. Yeah. Who says that? People have said it to me. Dog experiment. Dog trainers say that. It's more of a you thing. Yeah. I went to the Nashville Zoo. Brian, go ahead.

I was being too viscous. What's the word? Viscous. No, you were not being. Yeah, no. You were being. You were being too viscous. No, viscous means. Almost no viscous at all. No, you were being no viscous at all. I need to be more viscous. Right. We need to put a top on it. We need to increase your viscosity. Well, it's already coming out now, so I'll finish it. I went to the Nashville Zoo. I saw a cassowary. Cassowary. Yeah. And I'll say this. It was the only bird. Most birds, you know, at the zoo, they're just, you can almost touch them. There's.

Some of the lana. This one had its own special cage. Make sure it couldn't get out. Yeah. I'm in love with the casserole. Yeah. They were worried about it. They were leaving. I went to the bathroom and I'm there at the urinal and they have a giant snake in the glass above it.

And this thing comes down. I have a little video of this. I don't usually get up my phone and start filming in the bathroom, but yeah. And he comes down and gets right in front of me, like in my face. Yeah. It just starts staring at me and like doing this. And the guy who works at the zoo was there. He's like, I've never seen this. He's like, usually they just lay up there and sleep. He must have a real issue with you. Yeah.

Yeah. Wait, they have a snake just in front of the area? Oh, yeah. Just don't say where. Okay. Because it's – anybody listening from Nashville? I know, but you don't know where the bathroom is. Yeah. It's in the park. Don't tell me where the bathroom is. There's multiple bathrooms. There's a bathroom inside the park and there's a snake inside it. Oh, that's cool. I'm just saying don't just – everybody – but go check every bathroom.

If you go to the National Zoo, it's fun. Just look at the bathroom of the zoo, yeah. If you don't tell someone, I went in there and I saw it for the first time. You, I mean, go, what is it? Like, I mean, you don't expect it. And it's right there. It's kind of crazy. I think it's a great idea. Oh, yeah. I think it's a great idea where to put a snake because, I mean, it makes you scared. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I like it. What do you think, Dusty? Well, I think it's interesting that that snake did that to you. Where are we at on animal attacks? Do we need to do? Yeah, we could do a round. It's coming for you. All right. Let me. Taylor Smith. I specialize in robotic surgery, and I was really hoping to hear all of the imaginative theories y'all have about having surgery with a robot.

Uh, but at least with a robot, at least the robots are not hung over. You know what I mean? You could, I'm for it. Yeah. I'm for it. Oh, I don't, what is this? I don't want to see that. This is a great. Okay. Yeah. There are videos on YouTube of a human body being worked on. I figured we'd rather watch the great. Yeah. I don't even know if I like that.

This is how precise and exact it is. It's taken off the skin of a grape. Oh, wow. With two little claws here. I mean, it's that gentle. I do that with my teeth sometimes. And is the guy controlling it or is he just telling what to do? I think they are controlling it. Oh, that's gross.

Why do they make this grape thing gross? I don't think it's that gross. It is gross. You don't know what you... Oh, God. I mean, it looks like an eyeball. I guess it does a little bit like an eyeball. I mean, oh, gosh. You're walking... Are you kidding me? Yeah, that is crazy. But I guess if Taylor Smith specializes in robotic surgery, this is happening on a high level already.

that they're doing this on people. Well, Taylor didn't get very far. I mean, it's pretty low. I don't know. Yeah, I guess they're having to, you know, I guess you would ask that. He goes, is it a robot?

But I mean, what's the guy behind a robot going to look like? You still want him to look like a doctor. Put a white coat on him. Yeah. I mean, you don't want like a carnival worker, a union guy back there. He just reps the lawnmower start and he goes, and you're like, what is this? He goes, he's got knee surgery. He's got bad knees. And then he just puts on goggles and they go, you'll be fine. It's a robot. Yeah.

The robot shuts the door. But it's like remote control. Don't start. Huh? But it's a remote control. So somebody, I don't think that. Okay. Yeah. He gets jittery. Yeah. No, I think it's, uh, I think you just type in, Hey, this guy needs to have knee surgery. So you would go,

knee surgery on this guy and then right here's a visualization of how it works this guy's no no no this is how this guy does it so this guy's got little things on his fingers and he's he's in front of a machine doing it yeah but what if he is i don't like that oh yeah i don't like that yeah well i don't mean even what the video is i mean i don't like the guy but he's yeah i'm betting there are safeguards in place where he can't

He can't slip up and he can't poke you. You know, someone brings a snake above a urinal and you go and your ACL is gone. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I don't know. You're you're a, you know, dusty, but you really have a massage from a robot or a man.

a robot over a man. Yeah. But not a woman. You're a woman. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it'd be woman, robot, man. Yes. All right. And you might even fit other kinds of things. It might be woman, robot, and just, I won't do it. Penguin. Anything. Yeah. Demon. I'll do a woman. I'll do a robot. And then other than that, I'll just not do. All right. Hmm.

Uh, it's probably a pretty cool job for that guy. Taylor Smith. Uh, congrats on that. Now that is crazy though. I wonder, they do, they do, they just type in like, do you,

Oh, I guess they're doing it. I got to download ACL replacement real quick and then load it all in. No, I think it's just right here. This lists the advantages of robotic surgery. You can operate in spaces smaller than a human hand. So you can get in the areas that you couldn't. What's the disadvantages though? They don't list that on here. This is a video trying to sell us on. Robots might get them on their own. If I did that before I went under...

Ving Rhames' Mission Impossible. Pulp Fiction. Oh, yeah. Michael Clarke Duncan, the Green Mile. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They do look exactly alike. Yeah, they look very similar. They're like huge dudes. Talladega Nights, too. Yeah. Michael Clarke Duncan. Don't you put that evil on me. Yeah, yeah. Michael Clarke is that guy. Yeah. And then, yeah, yeah. And then the dude from Gladiator.

Oh yeah. Steve Buscemi. Yeah. It's great. I mean, all these people, well, I don't, I won't ruin it. If you, if you think you might watch it, but I don't think I ever will. I don't ruin it. I'll rewatch it. A man living in a futuristic sterile colony begins to question his circumscribed existence. When his friend has chosen to go to the island, the last uncontaminated place on earth. All right. It sounds pretty good. It's great. It's good. It's a good log line. Yeah. Uh,

Courtney Little. When we moved from Tennessee to Boston, the local grocery chain near us had a security robot named Marty that would follow you around closely and say patrolling every few minutes. Very annoying and always in the way. It was pretty scuffed up and we asked an employee about it. He said that they regularly had to deal with annoyed customers punching it. I have to say it was a humorous sight to see elderly men cursing at a robot that came to their knees in a thick Boston accent.

Wow. Yeah. Here's Marty rolling through the giant food store. I mean, that would be so annoying. They put big googly eyes on it. Yeah. And what's it doing? Checking for shoplifters? I think it can do a lot of things at once. I know at the Walmarts in Arkansas where they have these roaming around, they're cleaning the floor and they're scanning inventory at the same time. And they're probably videotaping you and doing all that kind of stuff.

Yeah, I mean, it is going to be what are people going to do for jobs? Stand up comedy. Build the robots. I know, but I think you're going to be, you're not going to want to go into a place like that. Like that's where the humans, it is crazy to think as humans, you're like, hey, we all got to stick together because you're going to end up just being like, oh, I'll just hire, I'll just build a building. And I mean, you're going to eventually, but someone's going to be like, I got a grocery store. I've never stepped foot in it. There's not a human being that's in it except, you know,

And so, but then what jobs did we get these people? Yeah. But they put googly eyes on it. It's fun. You know, that's how they get the party hat on the TV station. I worked at, they replaced all the studio camera operators with just robotic cameras. Really? And they program the shots and then the cameras just, you know, move around on their own. So, yeah, I mean, you could get rid of these guys now. Technology's there. Technology's there. See ya.

This carpet might make it tough. Tom Eaton. In spite of his struggles with formal logic, I suspect that Aaron might have excelled in informal logical fallacies while in school. It is more concept and vocobular. Vocabulary is what I meant to say. Yeah.

It's more concept and vocabulary based than it is math based. In fact, what makes comedy work is the comedian's overdeveloped sense of practical logic in pointing out the many common logical fallacies in modern society. I either leap from Nathan to Nathaniel. Okay. Yeah.

I like that. That was a deep paragraph there. I got lost in it. It's just a normal conversation to you. Those kind of words. Yeah. You see how all day you see those words. Tom and I need to start our own podcast. Yeah. Is that what it's like at home? It's just, it's a lot of that. Yeah. It's just the concept, the logical, like you're just modern society. A lot of that stuff. My sister, my dad, that's how they talk. That's how they talk. Yeah. Is that a class? Logical fallacies? Yeah.

It's something you learn and you've heard a lot like red herrings and false dichotomy, that kind of stuff. I think y'all don't want to work. And so you just talk yourselves to death. That's what I think. It's like.

You're like, well, we want to go do it. You go, no, no, that's a thought experiment. That's a think tank. It's all things that you're like, well, I don't want to actually go do something. And so there are people, the scientists that are doing stuff, the people that want to work. And then everybody else, there's just a bunch that's like, well, we have a job, but we just talk about it. And then we bring the idea to a guy that will do it. And then we go, what about...

Roku's Basilisic. And you're like, oh. But he's saying you're even doing this, Nate. I remember very early on, I heard a comic just talking about how they write jokes. And they say, I see something that's ridiculous. And then to show why that's ridiculous, I just apply that logic to something else, which is a lot of what you do, too. I think that's all he's saying there. I do what I do. I don't know if I ever thought about that.

I don't know if you could... I don't think that'd be a good comic if they knew how to do it like that. If they broke it down. You can't think of it, I don't think, mathematically. They could be a good comic, but it would be... I don't... You gotta have some... I agree. There's just a term for what you're doing. In the movie Comedian, Jerry and Colin Quinn are talking about think tanks. It's very funny. Yeah.

I think Conquist was like, you're going to my lunch. You want to go to lunch? Something like that. And he's like, yeah, let me finish up one thing. Hold on. Hold on. We're working on this. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. I'm a fake Fiji. Is that real Fiji or fake Fiji? Yeah. Yeah. You can tell using this bottle for about three weeks. Uh,

Uh, and the plastic stuff now people talking about that. Oh yeah. What is it? Something. Well, you know, I bought a farmer's almanac and in the back of the farmer's on almanac, it has a breakdown of like, you know, when you see the little symbol on the, on the plastic, it has a number inside of it.

And that number, it tells you what it means in the Farmer's Almanac. So I have the shaker bottle and then underneath the bottle, it says safe for human consumption, you know, when you translate the code, but then the top says,

The plastic says known to cause heart disease and something else. In California? That's what it says sometimes. It's like only in California. But it says do not use for food. But it's like, so the bottle they can sell and say it's safe because the top is not safe. I'm still using it. I don't know what to do, but...

I think you'll be okay. Because the glass is real heavy if you try to carry that around. I've got some copper bottles, but that gets a little weird. Copper bottles. Because copper, you're supposed to put a little water in there, and then in the copper, you drink the copper, and it's supposed to have some vitamin and mineral stuff for you. Like copper, probably? Yeah. Yeah. Like just put a pin in your mouth? Yeah, just suck on a penny. Yeah. Yeah.

Any coin, really. Don't put a coin in your mouth. Please don't. Kids are listening to this. Yeah, if you're a kid, you probably don't need the copper. No, no, you have enough copper. Josh James. I like how if Nate doesn't immediately understand the practical application for a piece of knowledge, he thinks the whole thing is a sham. I mean, if a stand-up comedian can't figure out why you need or want to know formal logic like...

I don't know that idiot Aristotle, then there is absolutely no reason for anyone on earth to ever use it. Nate may be the perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. What is the Dunning-Kruger effect? We've talked about it before. Here's the Wikipedia description. It's people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a type of task or an area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge.

Okay. What'd you say? It's not nice. It's not really a nice thing. You don't want to be in it. People with, so I have a low ability expertise or experience regarding a type of task.

Tend to overstate their ability to edge. So it's like they're saying like someone doesn't know what they're doing. They over act like they don't know what they're doing. It's like somebody who's never played golf is like, I'm probably pretty good at golf. And then that just means that's not, that's, there's no way that's Dunning Kruger effect. He's writing like, I'll, if I don't understand something, like, why are we even doing this thing tank? Like, does anybody even need to do it? That's not that though. That that's like, I don't over, like, I'll tell you if I can't do something. Yeah. My whole act is me not knowing how to do stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

That's all I talk about. I don't think you're a good example of it. I'm the opposite example. Maybe this guy is a good example of that on this. Yeah. He thinks he's an expert on the Dunning-Kruger effect. Flipped it on him. Yeah. Yeah, the converse of this is you actually underestimate your ability or knowledge, which means you actually have high ability, expertise, and experience. Yeah, the most. It's the Kruger-Dunning effect. Yeah. I affected them.

Yeah. I mean, a lot of it is trying to be entertaining. So you'll just go, yeah, yeah. It's all makes sense. Yeah, that's true too. It's like no one wants to hear comedy about someone being like, yeah, my life is really great. Everything's wonderful. I know how to do everything. I have everything. Yeah. You know, that's not as fun.

On the news, they always say, why are you guys always man on the street? Always the biggest idiots. You always choose interview. Well, those are people who will willing to talk because they don't know anything, but they'll give you their opinion on stuff. I think that would be the Dunning-Kruger effect. Yes. But also rarely do you want to see a man on the street where a guy asked a question, the person answers it perfectly. Great. Get some. All right. Just learn some information. Yeah.

You want to be able to go. Yeah, the dunning, it's overconfidence. It's someone that just doesn't know what they're doing, but they go, I'll just act like I know what I'm doing. Right? I think it's they literally don't even know their act, like they really believe it. Yeah, but that doesn't make any sense because if I'm saying no one needs it to do it at all, I'm an extremist.

but also not saying, I don't understand these things where he goes, that idiot Aristotle. I always think about that. It's like, I don't know. That guy could have been an idiot. I don't know what he was up to. You know what I mean? He might've had some good ideas here and there, but maybe the rest of his life, maybe he couldn't even tie his shoes. I don't know what he was up to. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he was, he did some weird stuff, but he was very, very smart in some areas. I would imagine. I mean, in all, who knows? Could he drive a car? I don't know. Can he tell a joke? I don't think he could drive a car. That's what I'm saying.

exactly right could he go to the moon doubt it I think yeah people should know no formal logic go learn it it's good is that what you failed yeah that's what I failed take it a couple times you should know it Aaron you should know it okay it's apparently very important

Darren Parrish. I am a high school geometry teacher. I'm able to give a basic understanding of logic with this spider statement. Assume all spiders have eight legs is true. Then if you know the black widow is a spider, then you know it has eight legs. But if you know the black widow has eight legs, you cannot prove it is a spider with the first statement. You could say the black widow may be another animal with eight legs like a scorpion.

I don't think a scorpion has eight legs though, does it? Yeah, they do. Do they? All spiders have eight legs. It's an arachnid. Is it? Predatory arachnids. We learned that on a previous episode. Okay. This was in the first 100 episodes. Yeah, not in the last 50. I think you were sitting right there. Let's see a picture. Of a scorpion? Yeah. This is just saying scorpions also have eight legs.

So, you know, but if you know the Black Widow has eight legs, you cannot prove it is a spider with the first thing. You can't just say all spiders have... If all you know is all spiders have eight legs, then if you see a spider, you know it has eight legs. Yeah. But you don't know the converse of that. You don't know that everything with eight legs is a spider. But it has six legs and the pinchers, right? It doesn't have...

eight legs. No, I think it's got eight. Let's take a look at it right here. Okay. All right. All right. It's got, yeah. So technically it has 10. I mean, well, you're not counting the pinchers. The pinchers, you can use them. And if you fall over, you can balance with them. Yeah. But they're not, so your arms, you can balance with, but you don't count them as, well, we don't walk on all fours.

Yeah, but that's all their legs. But our arms, those are way closer to the ground than our arms are. Because they're closer to the ground. That's what I'm saying. That's like saying their tail is also a leg. Well, they could. This blows my mind, though. I always thought a scorpion was six legs and then the pinchers. That's blowing my mind. Yeah. It's blowing my mind right now. Yeah. And you're in the killing bugs business. Yeah.

Well, when you spray them, it doesn't matter how many legs they have. Mr. Matthews27. Dusty made a comment about dinosaurs that went unnoticed.

He said, maybe they were birds all along. This is kind of a conspiracy that I fully believe. I think the T-Rex's arms were placed the wrong way when it was first discovered. Now we all imagine them as having little arms. However, if you rotate them backwards, they look like the bones of all over birds facing backwards. What? I think it's supposed to say other. Oh. They look like bones of...

All other birds. All other birds facing backwards. I believe all dinosaurs were just large birds and not the scary reptiles we have all been shown growing up. Well, I agree. A lot of these comments go unnoticed, but that is... I noticed it. That is...

But it's like, think about that though, right? Like they've told us that dinosaurs eventually evolved into birds, but it's like, what if, oh, we're fine with these bones. What if they were always birds? How do they know the skin? They never were dinosaurs. Do you know the skin? Yeah. I don't know how they would know that. You ever seen the skin of a bird without feathers on it? Yeah. It looks pretty rough. Yeah. But I mean, how would you know the skin of a dinosaur? I say you wouldn't. Yeah. Yeah.

I think they can make inferences about the body based on the shape of it. They can tell whether it was warm-blooded or cold-blooded based on how compact the body is. Yeah. That's my guess. But, like, warm-blooded is... Like a mammal. Yeah, no, but what's a reptile look that's warm-blooded? There aren't any. That's part of it. So then they're saying they're all... Are dinosaurs cold-blooded? I think so, right?

How would they know that? That's what I'm saying. I don't know. Is your blood cold? I think they found birds and they were, I think they found a cassowary. Is it warm blood and cold blood? Literally your blood is cold or warm. It's your internal temperature. You're like cold on the inside. Dinosaurs. Yeah. They lay eggs too. I mean, these are birds going full on birds. Here's another logic, right? Your dinosaurs are reptiles, though. Not all reptiles are dinosaurs. Obviously.

Yeah, they're vertebrates and cold blooded. Oh, yeah. Maybe some of those, some of them were reptiles they were finding and some were birds. That's what I'm saying. I'm out on dinosaurs altogether now, I think. I've been hanging one foot in, but I'm out on them altogether. This is silly. It's just silly stuff. How do we know dinosaurs are reptiles? Just some fantasy they want us to live in.

I don't know. It's not much of a fun really affect our day to day life. I don't think it does. I don't think about dinosaurs really. I'm like tomorrow. I don't think I'll think about them at all. Text you remind you about dinosaurs.

I did learn something from Aaron, though. I overheard you telling some comics this at Zany's. When we fall asleep and we have that feeling like we're falling, that's evolutionary way to protect ourselves. When we were primates in trees to prevent us from falling out of trees, that there's some internal balance mechanism. You ever been laying in bed about to sleep and then you just get almost like an electrical shock? That's what that is.

That's what they say. Yeah. So that's still in there. Yeah. I find that interesting. Yeah. One day you'll be gone. I hope so. It's pretty annoying. I deal with that a lot. Yeah. You fall asleep sitting up a lot, huh? No, I got ear problems. Yeah. Because that throws off my balance a lot, internal balance. In bed? Wherever, dude. Like, I mean, where are you falling asleep that you jerk like that?

It's just in my bed. Yeah. I mean, my head's off to the side a little bit of the bed. I think I'm falling out of a tree. I'll jolt back away. I got a lot going on. Yeah. You got the CPAP machine. I'm struggling. I'm just trying to rest. Like sleep is danger for you. You go to bed. I stay alert. Something happens. I'll be ready. Like an A1. You go to bed with...

just like you get a helmet like dark Vader. You get put down. You look like Hans. You need to be look like Han Solo when he's frozen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, do I do this? Yeah. Uh, hello, fresh. Hello folks to hello, fresh, uh, hello, fresh. We use it. Uh, and by we, I mean, Laura uses it. Uh,

We love it. Laura, I mean, she makes a ton of meals with this whole fresh. You just order this food and they have a little picture of it. And then she does it. Good serving size for me, honestly, with the calorie stuff. That's always fun. Whole fresh is great. I mean, I know a million people eat this. It's 40 weekly recipes to choose from for all meal occasions, lifestyles and preferences. You know, you get to feel like a chef.

Yeah. Because you're like, you ain't going to make this kind of stuff like this. And you get like kind of a cool kind of variety thing. We are giant fans. HelloFresh is cheaper than shopping at the grocery store and 25% less expensive than takeout. We love HelloFresh. Saving time is key and their recipes are not hard to follow. And most of their meals are quick. What day did you come up with it?

Day of the show. I've been holding on to it for a while. April 15th. The only reason we're doing concerts is so I can try that joke. I have nothing about concerts. I just want to try that joke out. Do you remember the first concert you went to? Michael W. Smith. How old were you? I don't know if I remember that. 12 or 13. You were a kid. Starwood. Old Starwood. Or an amphitheater, which didn't become Fontenot? No. Starwood was its own. Yeah.

Starwood was out at Antioch area. Oh, okay. Yeah. I saw Toby Keith at Opryland when I was a little kid. Oh, yeah. Yeah. How old were you? I don't know. Probably 12, 13, 14, somewhere around. You went to go see him or you just happened to... We weren't a real concert family. We were at Opryland. My mom was a big Toby Keith fan, but this was probably one album out of Toby Keith. This is not...

He was not the superstar he is now. So you saw him up and coming. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. My mom was in the Toby Keith fan club. Oh, really? Yeah. She had a whole she you know, this is back when film camera, you know, she has a whole little film of just Toby Keith photos that she took. Mm hmm. Just at a concert. Yeah. And then behind backstage where she met him. And oh, that's cool. Still a big fan. Yeah. We love Toby Keith.

I mean, I did a bunch of videos about talking about Toby Keith songs and people were jumping in there like, oh, I'm here for the Toby Keith hate. And I'm like, I love Toby Keith. I'm just making fun of some of the songs. Yeah. Yeah. Have you met him? I don't think I met him. Yeah. I might have met him there that day. I don't think so, though. Met him where? Oh, in New York. No, I'm talking about now. Oh, no, no. Yeah. Yeah.

No, I've never run it. I met quite a few country stars, but never Toby Keith. Yeah, yeah. I wish I would, though. That'd be great. Yeah. Well, is this what Star Wars Amphitheater right here? Yeah. Yeah, that looks pretty fun. That's where I saw New Kids on the Block. Yeah. Really? Yeah. It was super fun. I went there a few times. I think I saw Kid Rock there, and then...

Going from Michael W. Smith to Kid Rock. Yeah. Yeah. Growing up. Growing up. But it's like you'd get to stay in the grass. I mean, it's awesome. It really was awesome. I don't know why they closed. That was like a very old Nashville thing that they just went away. But they have something new now? Well, there's that one new – well, there's a few new – There's one downtown. Yeah. There's one down in Williamson County. I think they're – I mean, they're building them all the time now.

I'm looking at Dusty like he knows the construction permits. Yeah, I've been to a handful of concerts, so I don't know a bunch about the amphitheaters. Yeah. I kind of figured you were a concert guy. Nah, I mean, I like music. I mean, I've been to a lot of local shows. Yeah. When I was first starting comedy, I used to try to open for my friends' bands all the time. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

What was your first concert? I saw Guster. You guys know the band Guster? Yeah. I saw them. Do you really? I know who they are. I saw them eighth grade. Drove up to Birmingham with my friend Jimmy Dugan.

I remember we saw Gus. We loved Guster back then. How old was Jimmy? He was... We went up with his mom. Oh, okay. Two eighth graders hit the road. My friend Jimmy was 38 at the time. And I drove a 12-year-old. Jimmy should be reported. We were two eighth graders and we went up with his mom and saw the band. What is it? Guster? Guster. Who were they? They've been around forever. They started early 90s. They're kind of like...

I don't know. They're like a kind of a hippie type band. Is there, what's the, they have a famous song or they've had, they've had a few, nothing super, super big. Yeah. The drummer plays hand plays the bongos. And I was a drummer and I thought that was fascinating that their drummer just played hand drums. Yeah. Even like you use the word fascinating right there. That's like an educated, I would have said that I thought that was so cool. And you said fascinating.

And you said, I thought as a kid.

Yeah, probably. Yeah, it's crazy. I'm not even really making fun of it. That's like a moment. I couldn't have thought less about how I said it just now. As a kid, you might have said it. Yeah. It still was very cool. Yeah. You say, I don't ever use fascinating. Or I would say it, just say it. I'd be like, I thought that was so cool. You'd say it's unbelievable. I'd say it's unbelievable. Yeah. It could be. It was all these things, for sure. These all work. Yeah. Just pick one.

Pick your word. Plug it in. There's not one Guster song you could hit us with that we might know, though? You're my satellite. You never heard that? No. I've heard Dave Matthews sing Satellite. No, very different song, but also called Satellite. Yeah. All right, we tried. Yeah. Did you do your first concert? Woodstock. Yeah. Yeah.

No, mine was the Oak Ridge Boys. Oh, wow. Older than Woodstock. 1984, MTSU's Murphy Center. My mom and...

I think my aunt went and I tagged along. It was right after Elvira came out. This is when Oak Ridge Boys was there. They were huge. My mom and aunt went and I tagged along. It was trying to be a ladies' night. They had to bring a 40-year-old, 8-year-old middle out to the Oak Ridge Boys. There's some truth to that. My dad was like, I ain't watching him, so just take him along with you. I don't know. But Elvira had just come out. It was this huge song.

And then their next, it's very funny thing right now. Their, their next big song was called Bobby Sue. It was basically the exact same thing, just a woman's name and just throwing, throwing in some, some funny lyric. I mean, there's, there's not a lot to it. Elvira is great though. I think that's a Rodney Crowell song. And it's, uh, I like that. They say, uh,

I've saved up $2 and that's how they're going to get married. I forget exactly how the lyric goes, but. We'll take her to the hungry house cafe. Yeah. You know, the guy that wrote it.

Well, I don't know him, but Rodney Crowley, he sang it too. Yeah. Giddy up. Um, Papa, um, Papa, wow. Giddy up. Oh, Papa, wow. Yeah. It's good. Like it would, this was the song I wanted to name Derek Alvara. Cause this song came out when, uh, and we had the record of it and I would sing it. And so I want to name Derek Alvara. Uh, life would have been pretty different. It would have been different. Alvara. Yeah. If they let me do it. Uh,

Yeah, so Elvira was a big song for us. Two dollars. Last two. I've never. These words, dude. Saved up the last two dollars and we're going to search and find that preacher, man. I really don't know why music. I do not.

I would just sing along to the song and I would never even think about what you were saying. I think a lot of people that way, especially as a kid. Yeah. I just know the chorus. I mean, as a kid, but yeah, I mean, every song, like every song, Dusty, you think you could, you're like, Oh, I know what this song's about. Yeah. A lot of them. I mean, I, you're into the story. I get into it. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm all about it. I mean, there's a lot of songs that I stopped listening to. I would listen and I would go, oh, that's what that's about? And then I'm out. I can't do it. There's some Ben Fold songs that I have no idea what they're about, but I still like it. Sometimes I find out and I'm like, oh, that is totally different than what I thought. That song Brick? Yeah. Yeah. It's very bad, isn't it? It's a pretty dark song. Yeah. Yeah. It's got a good sound, though. Sometimes I try to block it out just to enjoy the song. Yeah. Yeah.

find the instrumental somewhere yeah yeah karaoke version on youtube yeah so the largest concert i'll do u.s and in the world in u.s history you may want to guess metallica uh no the just in the united states garth brooks in new york city yep yep million people about a million people yep and is that free it's free in simple party concerts the free shouldn't count huh

I agree. Well, they're there for that. I know. I agree, though. Free shouldn't count, though. It's like Morgan Wallen shouldn't count at Bridgestone. I'm fine with it counting. Yeah. Because he beat it. But, yeah. I'd have a much different opinion about this if... Yeah, if he hadn't beat it? If I couldn't have beat it. Yeah. So, but right now, yeah, count. But, yeah, I mean, you know, it's like...

still, he drew the people there. Like, you know, it's like a weird thing. I know it is, you know, but that's the thing, like in Bridgestone, like really, these people can sell 70,000 tickets. Like, uh,

So it's just a different thing. But he drew them, but if it cost money, would they have gone though? Well, that's the only thing. Cause you're going to be like, it was acoustic and all this. Now I think enough people would pay to go to that. But yeah, I was talking to some musicians that were, you know, you're like,

You can't charge people and not, and just be like, it's just you on a stage doing stuff. Like that's like, that's really unfair, but I think they could probably, we just did and didn't do nothing. I mean, we just, we were acoustic.

Yeah, but we're... It was still a big production. You had the video and everything. Yeah, the video. No, you don't need production. Comedy's just different. I know. You're singing a song. We never talked about... We talked a lot about the Kenny Chesney song at the end, but then the song after that, Sugar Land, we never talked about that. It's me. I don't know if you might have heard it. I don't know if I... Because it played as you were leaving the stage, right? Yeah. Yeah, it was a special song for Nate's parents. It's kind of just a song with them.

because it came out. It's Sugarland, Baby Girl. Yeah. And that song came out when I started comedy. If you heard the song, it was a song that I remember my mom sending it to me, and she's like, this is you. And I was just starting out comedy. Yeah. It's a sweet moment. Yeah. Yeah.

But this one, yeah, that was a big song to play. That was even more important. But I just, I did it after. The Kenny Chesney thing was the goal. And then this one after was like, I don't think most people even realized it was playing. And I mean, I had to tell Laura to make sure my parents even, because I didn't tell them. But Laura had to, like, I was like, you need to make sure that they hear this song. So it was very crazy. And it's what made my mom cry.

more that's when she cried into eric church yeah that's uh no oh eric church was uh he was at the show like i met him now and like he's uh so he came to the show and uh they were like they put my parents in uh i think they were in the owner's suite watching the show or my mom and daughter harper and laura and my family and uh so they were in the owner's suite and then

laura's like telling him telling my mom to like listen to the song my mom just basically cried i think the whole time and then uh she's like crying and like you know the suites can kind of see each other next to them or if you don't know like you can usually see somebody you can still talk to them it's not like it's blocked off and then she turned and she's crying and she's like uh

You know, it's like, oh, she goes, I'm sorry. That's my son down there or whatever. And she's in there. It was like very nice. Like, oh, he did great. You know, she goes, I'm Eric Church. And she's like, oh, hey. I talked to him. He's like very nice. And like she was like, that's great that you, you know, it's awesome. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. Yeah. So that yeah, that was the baby girl thing was a big that was like, you know, kind of wraps a lot of stuff up that night. Mm hmm.

So the largest concert ever. I know this one. I said, we said Garth Brooks. Well, that's in the U S. Oh, in the world. Yeah. Metallica. No, no, no. It's not Metallica. Are we going to know the band? You're going to have heard. It's an artist. Uh, is it, uh, you too? No, that's the, it's a single singer. Oh, it's a one person. Yeah. Uh, um, L,

Elton John. That's a good guess. It's a very good guess. Yeah. It's a dude? It'll surprise you a little bit, but it is a dude. Oh, I like it. It is a dude, but it's a guy you've heard of. I'm sticking with Metallica. It's a band. Very clearly a band. It's not a band. Is he American?

uh i think so maybe yeah maybe maybe i don't know i'm pretty sure he is billy joel at worst he's canadian at worst yeah worst case scenario he's north american we're pretty sure yeah kid rock no no oh no that's the most american yeah yeah exactly but he's in detroit so i was like maybe he slipped up there in canada for a little bit uh-huh uh

I don't know. Rod Stewart. Oh, I would never guess that. New Year's Eve. I don't think. I think he's British. Copacabana Beach. I think so. You're right. Yeah. 1993, 1994. 1994 New Year's Eve. Oh, he's born and raised in London. I was wrong. Never mind. Well, that's why I threw Nate off. We gave you some better clues. Worst case possible. Western Hemisphere.

That's surprising, though. I know he was a big deal, but I didn't realize. Well, this was a free concert in Rio de Janeiro. Three and a half million people. Three and a half million. Wow. But free on New Year's. They might not even know Rod Stewart was going to be there. I had a joke about this. The only reason I know this is because I had a joke about this. How far back from the stage do you have to be

Before you're no longer at the show. Well, did you see the video I sent you? Of that concert? I mean, it's just people up and down the beach. There's no way. Yeah. They're just at the beach. They're like, oh, there's a concert going on? So we're zooming out here.

Yeah, three and a half million people. Are they going to zoom out and show everything? Yeah. When was this? 1994. There it is. I mean, they're just- And they were there for two songs, Hot Legs and If You Want My Body. Where's he at? Brazil. Brazil. But where's he performing? Oh, I have no idea. Does it even matter? There's the stage.

Yeah, by the time the sound gets to you, the band's three songs ahead of you. Yeah, they were trapped on the island. Yeah, do they have speakers, I guess, going everywhere and video screens everywhere? They must have had, yeah. It's 1994, so I don't know. If you don't have video screens, then it does not count as a concert. If they have the video screens going far back, then it does. I agree. And so you need the video screens. But then, you know, that's like a loose, like, I mean, hey, how do you even count these people? How do people count people?

It shouldn't count if it's free. How do they count? You have to do samples. The same way we do any kind of polling. How many people are in this area? And then just look at how big and then apply that to this.

I always wonder that. Like New Year's Eve or July 4th, the Nashville Chamber of Commerce will say there was 100,000 people downtown Nashville. I'm like, well, how do they know that when they don't sell tickets? Who says it? Like the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. What are they? Or the convention, Nashville Convention. What is a chamber of commerce? They just, they, I don't know.

I mean, I act like it's such a simple thing, but now I can't explain it. They just promote the city and businesses and things like that. Business owners get together and help each other. I did a show. I think I should have said National Convention in Tourism. That's probably who does it.

You have to pay to join it, though, I'm pretty sure. The Chamber of Commerce? So anybody can join it? If you have a business, yeah. Oh, if you have a business, you can be a part of the Chamber of Commerce? Yeah. And you have meetings and stuff? Yeah, you have meetings. You help promote each other. You help share resources with each other. I did a show for them not long ago.

Oh, really? Like a lunch show. Yeah, they estimated 14 people. I don't know how they knew that, but I guess they looked at you. They go, here's one guy here. And so we spread the area out. It looks like it's 14. So a few terms have come from concerts. Mosh pit. Mosh pit.

Moshing started in the early 80s and did not know this. One of the when it really became mainstream, one of the first there was a band called Fear and John Belushi was a huge fan of this band. He'd seen them in Washington, D.C., and he'd already left SNL, but he was so big there that he convinced them to let this band perform on SNL.

And then they bust in like 30 of their biggest fans from DC and put them up in front of the stage. And they did a mosh pit on SNL where they're just banging into people and diving and slam dancing and all that. And it got really out of hand. And, uh, I mean, there it is. That's on SNL. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, it looks insane. They're all jumping up on the stage. Yeah. A very small version of that was almost unrelated, but it reminded me. When I was in Lexington a few weeks ago, this woman was sitting in the front, and she had to get up and use the bathroom, and there's no real clear exit. So she had to step up on the stage to get off. Real awkward moment between her and I. Between her and me. Yeah, I mean, we're just...

She just stepped up. I thought she was stepping towards me for a second. She had to step up and then step right back down. Anyway, they're jumping up on the stage and then jumping off of it made me think of that. Yeah, it was probably a funny moment. It was funny. It scared me for a minute. This band, they let them do a mosh pit? Yeah, I mean, I don't know that Lorne Michaels knew what was going to happen, but...

They let them, yeah, they let them bus in their biggest fans. And then once the band started performing, these guys just started jumping everywhere. And I think some stuff was destroyed and some language was live on the air. I'd say that's a fair bet. Yeah. Both of those things. Is that how their concerts go? I think so. I've done it. I've been in a bunch of it.

You have? Yeah. I have too. Yeah. I'm not a fan. I almost got knocked out. I have a scar. I don't know what my parents thought. They're his. I have a scar above my eyebrow. Yeah. You see it? A little bit. You see a little bit there? Oh, yeah. It's from a Kid Rock mosh pit at Starwood. Wow.

And Laura is right when I met Laura. You used to have a joke about marriage is like a mosh pit. Yes. Yeah. And it was right when I met Laura and we started dating. His work at Applebee's.

And I went and hit my, you know, hit right there. Just bleeds and goes. And so that's why I have a scar there. What was the song? You know, probably the main one. Yeah. Ball is the ball. Yeah. Probably just felt it. You got in there. Yeah. I don't know what it is. There's something it's like. It's just the chaos of it is like cathartic. Yeah. I guess there's something, you know, he was about to say that cathartic.

Yeah, it is fun. But yeah, I almost got knocked out. I didn't get busted open, but I got really hit one time and I was like, all right, I'm about done with that. I remember people, you get knocked down, people would help you up. It was very nice. Even though the chaos, it was like, I like, sometimes I like the chaos. I think I like the idea of a safe, chaotic place.

situation like I like that everybody's kind of looking out for each other like if you fell down it was like help the person up so they don't get hurt it's not just I wouldn't want to do it if it was yeah that's not what was going on at mine oh yours was yeah what was yours I don't know just something at the music farm in Charleston some show I don't even know who it was but I mean it got wild yeah I was like actually I'm not really that into it I thought I was but

Crowd surfing. They're still doing this, by the way. This video has been played in real time and they're still going. Oh, how long? Oh, it's five minutes of just anarchy. And they're just showing them like, I mean, you would think, does that ban fear or beef? Fear. Beef bologna is the song. Okay.

Maybe the album. I don't know. That's how you go. All right. What's your name? Fear. You go, all right. All right. What song are you going to play? Beef bologna. Of course. Of course. But as a band, do you not go like, hey, man, can we sing and stuff? I mean, they're hitting the band. Yeah. They're running by the people. They knocked the microphone out at one point. Do you just realize like, all right, so...

Part of this song is going to be, I'm not going to sing it because the microphone got knocked out. That's what, at one point, when you see the microphone gets knocked out, and then- That's probably why they brought their own fans, so that you would see a bunch of people seemingly enjoying it, rather than them just playing in front of a Saturday Night Live audience who would be able to judge them. You know what I mean? Yeah. I think that is why they did it. They're like, all right, we got to bring these people so we can-

show what it's like in our shows. Yeah, you gotta grow out. Like, I mean, if you're in that band, there's a point you probably gotta go like, I can't. You know, it's insane, dude. Like, we're getting... That's when you gotta just get out of it and...

Performing at Red Rocks. Sold out. It's crazy. I mean, I've only been to it and looked at it. I've never seen a show or anything like that. It's going to be wild.

If you're at the Bridgestone show, we have the intros, kind of that same kind of thing. I think we're going to have a good intro there. I know a lot of people are traveling for this. I can't wait. It's going to be... It looks crazy. Yeah, dude. It's going to be overwhelming. Do people do the picture where you hold your phones up? I guess you don't need to hold... Bridgestone, we had everybody hold their phones up.

Yeah, you could do that. I think you can get the good. I think there's lights and like the way it's lit up. You can see people like, you know, is it going to be late enough where it's dark for most of the show? Yeah, I don't know what time the show is. I mean, I think they time it out to be like that. That's the thing. It might be chilly. Like, you know, I don't know what the weather is.

I can tell you, being cold at a comedy show, much better than being hot at a comedy show. I can tell you that. 8.57 sunset time in Denver. When they're sweating, you're dragging laughs out of people. People traveling to Denver, maybe people, we've never done weather on this.

So weather, Denver, Denver, Colorado, uh, 70 Wednesday, heavy intensity rain. Oh, wow. All right. Not good. Uh, 77 degrees, low of 55. Uh, but it's, it looks like it's supposed to rain, but it'd be all off and on. And then,

And Princess Asian luckily doesn't pick up till showtime. And that's good. Oh, man. Well, hopefully it'll pass. It'll be great. You'll be like the old, you know, the MTV. Who was it?

The band that put Bush, they played the song Glycerine on MTV when it was pouring down rain. It was this big iconic moment. That'll be you out there. The song's about five minutes long. Yeah. It's an hour. Yeah. I got a better one. No, it's pretty good. But U2 shot their concert film at Red Rocks. U2 live at Red Rocks under a blood red sky. And there was torrential rain all day.

It holds 9,000, I believe. 4,400 people showed up and they couldn't cancel it because they were shooting this movie. So Bono went out in the parking lot and told everybody, don't worry about your seats. Just everybody move to the front. And then he kept announcing it before the show and then everybody just moved down front and they still shot it and turned out, I guess, pretty well. But it was all day they thought that they were going to have to cancel it. I think at the beginning of this video, they show them like...

in the rain trying to convince people to come up front and it was like a blood red moon uh under a blood red sky is what the concert was called oh sunday bloody sunday dude yeah that's what it's about no it's not but you know it's different you can't do comedy in the rain i don't know i mean what an iconic moment it would be if you did the whole show in the rain mm-hmm

Cold rain. It'd be about the audience. Audience is going to sit through that one. Yeah. Take your shirt off. Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully it won't rain. Weather changes. Yeah, weather does change. And, you know, I didn't put in Red Rock specifically. I put in Denver. It's outside of Denver. So who knows what's going on? I think it's going to be great. Yeah.

In 1971, Jeff Rotold was doing a show at Red Rocks and about a thousand people without tickets showed up. The show was sold out. So Denver police let them just stand outside and just listen to it. But then they started charging, trying to get in to see it. So they had to unleash riot gas.

And the gas just doesn't stand in place. It moves. So it came into the amphitheater and started gassing the people there performing the show. So the mayor of Denver canceled rock concerts at Red Rock for five years because of it. Maybe just let them in. But there's no room. It's sold out. I mean, rather than gassing everyone, though. Yeah. Why would they think it's okay? A thousand people just think, well, let's just go.

1971. I mean, you can't buy it online. Just go down there and buy a ticket. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. They might have not even known the show was sold out. That's true. That's exactly what it was. So they just banned the whole genre for five years? Yeah. What else was going on in the 70s? What did they have there? Country was taking over. They did John Denver. Just John Denver. Sonny and Cher, The Carpenters, Pat Boone, Carole King, Seals and Croft. And then I think it went to court finally, and they're like...

You can't just ban rock concerts. Yeah, that's weird. The cool thing, too, is you get to sign a rock on it. I mean, there's rocks when you walk down. Because I've been shown that. And you sign before you go on. And I mean, it's just anybody on earth that you've ever seen. Everybody. So most venues, like the Ryman's was built by 1930s or something or this or that. And they say, well, we were built 200 million years ago. So...

And then this chair is really worked out. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I guess that's true. Well, they were, they, uh, yeah, you walk up to that. It's pretty crazy. I mean, it's obviously what Allison chains, John Mayer, Stevie Nicks, Mumford and sons, Wiz Khalifa. It's everybody. That's awesome, man. But I mean, it's old too. Super old. Yeah. Cosby performed there. I remember seeing that, not to, you know, but he did, uh,

long time ago it's kind of crazy if you think you'd see cosby there yeah seems kind of crazy yeah uh but he was there and then uh yeah i mean it's you know dude that's awesome and then uh yeah it's and that's tonight tonight tonight can't wait yeah it's gonna be crazy uh i was gonna say something but

I don't know. All right. Well, the Rolling Stones in 1969, they did a show in California and they hired the California chapter of Hell's Angels to be their security. And that was a mistake. And things got out of hand really quickly. They enforced that security pretty tough. And one of the...

singers from Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Steven Stills, got stabbed. Wow. By Hell's Angels security? From a motorbike wheel, it says. Spoke from a motorbike wheel. Jefferson Airplanes' Marty Balin was punched when he tried to intervene in a brawl and ended up spending the rest of the show unconscious.

And a concert goer was killed. Oh, sorry. So, yeah, things got out of hand. Deep down, though, they were like, good job, guys. Keeping these maniacs off the stage. I think there's one part where Mick Jagger stops and just says, guys, you got to just stop the fighting or we're going to just stop the show. Oh, right now he's saying bye, bye, bye. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Based on the subtitles. I don't think he's intervened just yet. Yeah.

Man, the Rolling Stones were wild. That was at Red Rocks? No, that was in California. Yeah. That's a free concert. That's funny. You know, you have Marty from Jefferson Pilot. What is it? Jefferson. Jefferson Airplane. Airplane. I think they changed. They did Jefferson Airplane. Yeah. It was Starship. Jefferson Pilot was the. Yeah. JP Sports. JP Sports was Jefferson Pilot. Yeah. Oh, Marty. Jefferson Airplane got tore up last night. Yeah.

Did you hear about Marty? No, no, no, Marty. You know, Jefferson Airplane? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He got knocked out last night. Dead gum steals. He got stabbed. I mean, that's pretty wild. Steven Steeles. You don't even know his first name. You're just like, Steeles and Nash? You go, not Nash. Yeah, not Young. Steven Steeles. But it was with a- Nash Young is, what is Nash's name? It was-

Steve, it was Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Neil Young. I don't know Nash. Let's go Kevin Nash, the wrestler. The three tenors. The other guy. The other guy. The other, yeah. Digga Marty over. Graham Nash. Oh, yeah. Duh.

Crosby, Stills, and Nash. But the Young, I don't ever think about. He wasn't always with them. He did it on his own. Yeah, and he was only with them for a little bit. And he became huge. When he came in, it was good. Oh, really? I mean, that's my thing. Steven Stills had a good career. He had some big hits. Well, David Crosby did. And David Crosby, too. I think they all... Crosby, Stills, and Nash is the man I know. Neil Young's the best. That's the one I've heard of. Stills, Buffalo, Springfield. You heard of them? That was Steven Stills. No.

Also Crosby, the birds. You heard of them? No. I mean, people listen to this music, man. You've heard Buffalo Springfield songs before. Probably. I don't know. The birds. Stop. Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down. Who's that? Buffalo Springfield? Yeah. I'm pretty sure, right? When did they? Yeah. I mean, they have these songs. You know that song though? I know that song. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, they're great. I mean, Neil Young's the best. Marty, what happened, bud? He's way up there playing. Got hit. I don't know what happened. Stills got stabbed. Got stabbed with a bike spoke. Golly, sir. What's that, right? Motorcycle. They go, sir, put your job down. Jefferson Airplane. All right. Why were they called that?

I don't know. It's the name of the band. They changed the Starship later to be more kind of futuristic. I kind of like that. Is that true? I think they were getting into the 70s and the disco age. I think that's... Somebody to love. Is that... Is somebody to love? Yeah. Don't you need some... White Rabbit's pretty wild too. Yeah. White Rabbit. That's like... White Rabbit. I don't know. That's like an Alice in Wonderland song.

Oh, is that them? Is that Jefferson Airplane? I thought so. It's not listed on there. Whose things don't stop thinking about tomorrow? Jefferson Starship's a spinoff. And then they also go hot tuna. That's a good. All right. All right. Let's see. The highest grossing tour of all time. It's going on right now. It's about to wrap up.

That's a good guess. No. Someone who's retiring. Oh, Elton John. George Strait. Elton John. The Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. George Strait is your Elton John. I think you guys share a birthday. We do. You and Elton John? Me and George Strait. I think I might. What's Elton John's birthday?

March 23rd. Wait, 20... Is it? Elton John's birthday is March 25th. You just have Elton John's birthday just kind of memorized? Is it? I thought he was going to say it was his birthday. I was trying to remember your birthday. 75. Yeah, my birthday is March 25th. 76. Well, how about that? You and Elton John. Me and Elton John. Dude, I hope you're still doing comedy at 76. I hope so, too. Your farewell tour. Mm-hmm.

AI will have been taken over by that time. We'll be living out in a commune somewhere. There's a chance I'll look like I'm 34. You're going to robot surgery. The shortest concert of all time, March 2007, The Who took the stage in Tampa, and Roger Daltrey realized he couldn't sing that night. It lasted 13 seconds.

It was attended by 9,000 fans. Wow. Um, and then Jack White tried to break the record when he was in the white stripes and they took the stage and did one note, just as publicity thing, and then left the stage. Um,

And then the Guinness Book of World Records wouldn't honor it. And I think he was mad about it. Like, that's not fair. And then they basically said it's too trivial to do something that's the shortest. The longest, that takes some effort. But the shortest, it's hard to even categorize what counts as shortest. Well, it probably can't be forced, I wouldn't think. You're like, you know, it's like you got to go do it.

You got to do it long. Yeah. I mean, even what he's doing right here seems longer than 13 seconds. But that right there, that was it. But he's taking time to put the guitar down. The concert's still going. I guess. I guess they count it just when you start music. Oh, even in one note, it sounds like the White Stripes. Yeah. And then they just went home? Yeah. And then they were done. They walked off. Oh, I bet they said, we're going to do the shortest concert ever. Yeah. They told the crowd that. They all came out. Yeah. Yeah.

I would go to that. Yeah. Get to be home early. Saw the white stripes last night. Yeah. Yeah. What was it? Yeah. You're like, uh, how was the traffic? It was all traffic. Yeah. No show. The show was the traffic. Cause it was just traffic. I wouldn't even a beer. I missed it. I couldn't even beat the traffic. By the time you sat down, people are already, you're already back in traffic. Yeah.

Bruce Springsteen's famous for his really long concerts. He's done them over four hours before. And in 2012, he was playing Hyde Park in London and Paul McCartney came on as his surprise guest. And they went past the curfew, 1030 curfew, and they cut their mics. Oh, wow. The city of London did. And people were pretty upset when Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen were on stage and they have to cut their mic. That's him trying to yell.

when their mics have been cut off. That's at the very end. But yeah, but there's a 1030 curfew, they say, because it's in a neighborhood. Yeah, I mean, that's like a tough situation because it's, you know, there is...

It's the like, you know, the audience, the crowd there wants to see it. Honestly, probably everybody around them is like you could just keep it going. It's Paul McCartney. I know. But there's also like, well, where do you draw the line? Like you go, all right, it's Paul McCartney. Be like, what if another random singer wants to do that? You're like, so what do you tell him? He can't. You're not Paul McCartney. Like who's to say who's who? Paul McCartney was knighted by the queen. Sir Paul McCartney. Anybody who's been knighted, maybe draw the line there.

I'm down with the city of London. I love it. I love it that they're like, we actually, we don't care who it is. We have a rule. Boris Johnson was the mayor at the time and he came out and said, I wish I'd let him keep going. But, you know.

I don't backtrack. You know what I mean? Yeah, it happens. If you're going to do it, stick by it. It's just one of those, like, you're like, I do get it. You just go like, all right, you know, yeah, it just was different, dude. It was Bruce Finsley and Paul McCartney, so we kind of let them do whatever, you know, it's like a different kind of thing. But that being said, I mean, like, you go let every, like, if you're in that neighborhood and you're like, it's a noise thing, it's 1030 and you're like, uh,

I mean, there's a lot of famous singers that would have Elton John. Yeah, Sir Elton John. Someone comes out. He's been knighted. And he comes out and he goes, well, I want to do more. And you're like, so now you could be like, these people have a month of concerts that go over 1030. It's a pretty good month, though. I just love it, though. Elton John, Bruce Springsteen. It is crazy. Paul McCartney.

Don't you think it's great though, somebody like that though, they're like, nah, we're going to blow this curfew. We don't care because I'm Bruce Springsteen. I don't care. And then the city's like, nah, nah, we're still going to stick by it. That part of it I do like. I do like it. Yeah. There's another video I watched where you can actually hear what he's saying and he turns to his guy and he's like, they're not going to stop us, are they? And then the guy comes running out and he whispers something. He's like, okay, they actually are going to stop us. We got to go. Good night. Oh, really? Yeah.

It's like his manager or something comes out and says, no, we got to stop. Tell Paul McCartney to show up earlier. You know what I mean? Don't be so late for the show. It's Paul McCartney's fault. Well, what are they singing still after you've already sung the song? Like, what are you... I mean, they were doing Twist and Shout, I think. Yeah, they're doing Beatles songs, probably. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They're like just...

There's probably too many. You know what's funny is there's almost too many crazy nights now. Back then, when was this? 2012. That's probably the beginning of that. There's too many famous people right now and they're all still active.

So they're all meeting and they're all doing stuff and everything's... Remember when you're like, I can't believe this movie's De Niro and Pacino. Can you believe they're together? Now they're in 40 movies and they both still act. They're still in everything. So you have... There's a lot of like...

It's all this kind of crazy thing. They would have probably let that happen if they're not like, they do this stuff all the time. Who cares? Not who cares, but it's just like, can you believe everything can't be...

this like once in a lifetime. Yeah. That's everybody calling everybody the goat. Yeah. So you're just, anybody's a goat. Everybody's like, so like that kind of idea is like, but he Bruce brings things to go. Well, he's actively touring like it's 1971. So I don't know what to tell you. Like it's, you know, it's like, how many, you,

It's like you're almost, there is no mistake. There is no like, oh, this guy ducked out for a while. You're like, no, this guy, and I'm not going after Bruce Springsteen because people love Bruce Springsteen. I've met Bruce Springsteen.

But over any of them, like Garth Brooks, Garth Brooks goes away. And you're like, all right. And then it's like, I mean, he's just tours now. He's never, you know, all these bands are like, I'm retiring. Rolling Stones are still, these are only the only famous bands we've ever had are still out there. That's crazy. It starts from the. It is funny to think that the classic rock when I was a kid is still classic rock. Oh yeah. And they were. I mean. And they were.

And that was classic. That was old rock, right? Yeah. So your old rock, your old channel is still just the Beach Boys. It's the same song. Still tour. Yeah.

You go like none of these people stop Aerosmith. They're about to do their farewell tour. Yeah, yeah. But Elton John. Farewell what? Elton John what? You don't think he's going to not tour? Like, I mean, they give you all the chances to be like, if you missed them, it'd be like, I don't know how you missed them, dude. Like they toured forever. You got to be so like Tony Bennett, like who's 90 or something like that. He toured recently. Yeah. That's the only way, like, because you know they're going to die eventually. Willie Nelson's 90.

I know, but there's still touring. Like it's, it's, it, it just kind of, it's the, you do this farewell stuff. It's just like that. Like, ah, it's Bruce freezing, Paul McCartney going up together. And you're like, all right. I mean, you probably going to see that you see, be seen it on TV or you can watch a video of it. You could, it's not like a special, there's too much of like, can you believe this guy is coming out to this? Like there's not in there.

Now, I'm not trying to say take anything away, but I'm looking back when a city shuts that down, they go, I don't. Paul McCartney comes out all the time on everybody's thing. Yeah. I don't know. These people in this town do not care that it's Paul McCartney again.

wanting to go past 11 o'clock. Like he wants to do until 1130. They just don't care. I'm surprised Paul McCartney fans want to be up past 1030. Yeah. I mean, it is crazy. At this point, let's lock it down here. Elton John's 75. Is he 75? He's in the 70s. And he's touring? This is it? Yeah. It's supposed to wrap up in July. His farewell tour has been going on for five years. Paul McCartney's 80. Which probably...

from 2018 till it probably would take that. Yeah. I guess. Yeah. 20 is supposed to wrap up July of this year. Yeah. It would probably take that.

But Kiss, I believe this is right, Kiss has been on their farewell tour and they're coming back to Nashville second time on the farewell tour. I was going to say, I saw their farewell tour last time they were in Nashville. They're coming back in October, still the farewell tour. Yeah. Still saying goodbye. Wow. Yeah, it's because they're, yeah, it's like a... You got to let it go. You got, well, there's some money to be made. Kiss Live. I think, that's what I always heard, like they were like, they put a lot into it. Yeah. Yeah. All right. That it? Yeah.

All right. That's it. Fun stuff. We did it. Yeah, I'm at Red Rocks tonight. Pumped up about that. Then Springfield and I think the next week Dayton, kind of that stuff. St. Paul, Minnesota.

Minneapolis. Nice. All that kind of stuff coming up. I'm at Wise Guys in Salt Lake City this weekend. It's Friday, Saturday. One show each night, 6 o'clock. Come to that. Next weekend, I'm in Louisville, Kentucky at Louisville Comedy Club. And then June 18th, Father's Day.

I'm at Zany's Company Club in Chicago for the first time. All right. So bring your husband and your dad out for that. Yeah. Yeah. Good deal. Or anybody. Yeah. Or anybody. I need them all. Yeah. Bring your dog. Yeah. I got a little bit of time off coming up. Wow.

So how about that? I'm opening for people doing some corporate stuff. I'm out here doing some work. July through the end of the year, I'm headlining all over the country and a couple of days in Canada. So keep an eye on Aaron Webber Comedy.

Yeah. Dot com. Well, I'm taking a little time off too. I don't know that I've said this on this podcast, but I'm having another baby. All right. Oh, wow. Congratulations. Yeah. That's the tradition. Almost knocked my teeth out. That wasn't that hard. It was through a chair. That was the most hard. That's about as hard as I hit Brian. Yeah. That was my arm. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm fine. I'm okay.

I did not know this. I'm learning this right now. I did not know this. Yeah. Wow. So June 15th. So you have one baby. I have one baby. Already. Okay. Wow. I'm joking. I did not know you had another baby. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. So I'm taking a couple months off, but in July, I'll be back. And then the second half of the year, I got a lot going on. Yeah. So. June 15th, you say? June 15th. Yeah. Yeah. When's the baby due? June 15th is when the baby's supposed to be due. Yeah. But it's like-

Next week, I think my wife is at 37 weeks, which they say is considered full term. So it could come anytime. Wow. Do you know what it is? It's a boy. Yeah. All right. I don't have a name, but I'll take suggestions. Huck.

Huck is that fits with that's a strong name. Huck Slay. Huck Slay is unbelievable. And that's a, that's a vibe that is in that family. That's probably not going to be it, but yeah. Maybe the folks could vote. Yeah. Yeah. You just list your top three. Yeah. You probably could find a great name. A lot of people think about it. Well, that's what I'm saying. I'll take suggestions. Yeah. And, uh, what are you doing this weekend?

Pitching the sounds. Yeah. First pitch. First guy on this podcast to first pitch. Yeah.

I asked Harper what her favorite part is. She said, you know, it's usually about my dad, but tonight it's just going to be all about me. I'm like, well, no, I'm joking. Yeah. The fun part with mine that I'm still going out is all of her softball team is going to go out with me. That's fun. Yeah. I'm not doing it alone like the man, the myth, the legend who demanded alone time. Yeah. He would like the visiting team to turn around and they're –

Yeah. Well, there were some like war veterans because it's July 4th. They wanted to come out with me. I was like, no. Yeah. They can catch it if they want. Yeah. And they fought in July 4th, 1776. Yeah. Yeah. Should have brought them out. You got any strategy? You're just going to fill it out. I think me and you should go throw. We should. And then I think I'm going to just fill it out. I'm going to try not to overthink it. I know how to throw a baseball, so I'm going to just do what I do. Throw a baseball.

But I'm trying to decide should I go from the stretch and the wind up?

You want it to look good. Do it from the stretch. It's going to all look good. Do it from the stretch. The stretch. Because I just picture you have an old-timey kind of Cy Young wind-up that's going to look funny. I think that's what you should do. Oh, you say do it from the stretch to look good. I say do it from the stretch. Then I could lean in, like, you know, look at the catcher. Because I'm lefty, so I'll be looking at the runner, you know. I might throw over to first. You'll be one of those that they're like, just do it. Like, it's just...

on and on and everybody's like, oh. The PA announcer announces the start of the games. It's going to be a little bit later. It's out there. It's being super funny and everybody's like, I don't know.

We're here for fireworks. I watched the video of you, though, when you threw out the first pitch of Sounds game. You did the full wind-up over the head. I did. Oh, wait, you threw out the first pitch. Last season. Oh, so you're the first. It looked like you sailed it over his head. Oh, wait, so I'm not even cutting you off. I'm just doing it. Aaron cut us all off. Have you done it? No. You don't believe in baseball? No.

It's demons. Demons in the outfield. You know, I'm all right with it. I don't see myself out there. All right. We'll make it happen. I mean, if you're all three, do it. I feel like I should. Do you think your son's going to show up and just be like, all right.

But this is going to be a fun time, Dad. How you doing? You're like, son. Well, he's going to know something. Yeah, I got it. Yeah, yeah. He's going to have a rude awakening when he goes, Dad, I saw the moon last night. He goes, well, I don't know.

Son of a man talked to you for a second. And then as you put tinfoil on the window. I don't already be there. I saw some paint for 5G. Oh, yeah? Yeah, you paint a wall and it keeps the 5G out.

Oh, I'm into that. But it was black paint. And you're like, well, I mean, why? So you got to live miserably. You don't have like some flower paints or something. Yeah, that'd be nice. Like it's all just pastels. Yeah. And then I was like, you got to paint it like on this ceiling. So like, can you do it like under the roof? Maybe you could do layers. You could paint black and then do three or four coats of primer.

Yeah, but I mean, what if you just had it in the roof if you didn't want it? Yeah. Yeah, just paint yourself. That's tough. Yeah, you could paint yourself. Wear a hat. Yeah. That's a tough one probably, right? Yeah. I've not heard of this paint, but I'm going to be looking it up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Got a new job. Yeah. All right. That's it? Oh, yeah. Everybody's good? We love you all. We love you all. See you next week. Bye. Bye.
