Today's episode of the Nate Land podcast is brought to you by HelloFresh, Helix, and Rocket Money. Hello, folks, and hey, bear. Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Bregazzi. Brian Bates here in Weber, Dusty Slay, and a new baby.
New baby. Yeah, I had vertigo last week, but I'm back. I'm still spinning a bit, but I'm here. I feel good. I felt like I woke up on Sunday and I was like, maybe the earth is spinning. Yeah. That's what it took. I could feel it. I was like, the government is our friend. Trust the doctors. And I was like... That's how we feel all the time. Yeah. I was like, wow, science is real. And it felt good. Did...
Yeah, we did not say that you had vertigo. No. We don't ever know to put out. I don't know what you want the government to know about. Yeah. And we didn't know if you, you know, did they need to know you were weak at the moment? Well, I think I was maybe targeted with 5G. I mean, who knows? That's true. You know what I mean? That's true. Mike James filled in with a broken toe. Oh. Yeah. Wow. You know, I have a hurt toe as well. Oh. Wow. It's a chair. So Mike may be getting vertigo soon. Yeah.
Did, uh, is vertigo, you just feel like you can't stand? Yeah. It's like, it's like when you look at something, it's like it moves and then adjust and then moves and then adjust. And then, and you just can't, I got so dizzy. I threw up. Sunday, I could not even get up for most of the day.
And do you like, can you watch TV or anything? Or you got to just like close your eyes? No, you just want your eyes to be closed. Yeah. And we did a, there's a maneuver that you could do. And I went to the chiropractor today. Yeah. He's hooking it up. I would be, never in a million years would think that's where you would go for vertigo. Yeah. As a chiropractor. Like that's- Well- I mean, that's-
Unreal. They're the guys. That's the vertigo guys? I actually did know that because conspiracy theorists don't go to doctors. Chiropractors, they hook you up with everything. Chiropractors, they're like a sage. Is it like you go to...
Just a chiropractor? Or does the world know, like, if you've got vertigo, go to a chiropractor? Well, some people will go to a doctor and get medicine and suffer with vertigo their whole life. Yeah. Other people go to the chiropractor and he adjusts the head. Yeah. The deeper you get into vertigo, the crazier it sounds. Yeah. But apparently there's crystals...
in the ear canal that can get dislodged, and it throws off your equilibrium. So there's a maneuver you can do that's supposed to get – slowly work those back into place. Wow. Jason Day had it as the golfer. Oh, yeah. And he had to pull out of events in a major championship, and it was a crazy thing because it seems –
When you hear it, you're like, what? You were dizzy? Yeah, you're dizzy. You lose it. Grow up. He was on the golf course. You have to sit down. It shuts you down. Yeah, it's crazy. That's like turf toe.
Not it's not like turf, but it's kind of like your athletes get turf toe and they can't play. And you're like, your toe hurts. And then you're like, it's probably the worst thing you could like. You can't move or like a quarterback will be out because they like their pinky fingers broken. Yeah. Oh, you're like, yeah, man, you can't. And then you're like, well, that's the main grip of football. Yeah. Well, didn't you injure your toe in the bathroom?
Well, I was moving a recliner. TMZ over here. Tell what really happened to you. I was moving a recliner. Into the bathroom. And I drugged the bathroom.
part over my toe and it like sliced my toenail was bleeding. And then I like was got it healed up. Right. And I was using the bathroom and I was, you know, on my phone. And as I got up, I set the phone on the toilet paper dispenser and it started to fall in the toilet and I swatted it midair. So it didn't go in the toilet, but it landed straight on the toe.
It wasn't, it's not the big toe. It's a random little toe in there. Show the video. Right. Right down on it. Bleeding again. It was a real mess. And then I got vertigo and there's nothing like a little vertigo to take your mind off your toe. I'll tell you that. Did you save the phone? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It's nice and dry. Yeah. Worth it. Yeah. It was worth it. I just got a new phone. At least you brought a baby into this world. Uh,
Well, that's the thing. The baby just doesn't know. It's dad was a mess the week it was born. I had vertigo all day. On Monday, I was still shaky. Later that day, my wife goes into labor. So I drive my wife to the hospital.
Post vertigo. Yeah. But he had a very Seinfeld-ish day, I would say. Yeah. And that you made a couple of pit stops. And well, after you dropped her off, you went out for snacks. Yeah, my wife was just laying there. There's nothing I can do for her. So I was like, I got to go get some stuff out of the car. And then I could see Kroger in the distance. So I thought, well, I'll go pick up some snacks here. Yeah. I'm going to be here a while. Yeah. They'll feed her, not me.
So I went and got some, you know, a bag of popcorn. And it was funny that it ended up being popcorn. Because as I told my wife, I go, you mind if I munch on some popcorn over here? She goes, this is just a show for you. You're just going to sit in the corner and watch and eat your popcorn. I'm trying to make jokes with the nurse. I probably got popcorn in my beard.
The nurse was not happy. Can I get a little more Diet Coke? Yeah. Just shaking the cup a little bit. Hannah said at one time during her labor pain, she's in so much pain and Dusty goes, huh, the Wichita Funny Bone closed. She's like, could you focus? Well, that was sad news. That is a bummer. Wichita Looney Bin closed. Oh, Looney Bin. Excuse me. Yeah. Looney Bins are going away.
Yeah, we're only down to two now. Every time you bring a kid into this world, a loony bin goes. It's specifically Dusty's kids. Yeah. That's awesome, man. Congratulations, dude. Did you say the name of the baby? Yeah, we went with Samuel. Samuel. We like the sound of Sam Slay. I like Sam Slay. And also in the Bible, Hannah, that's my wife's name, gives birth to Samuel.
And I thought that was fun. Yeah, that is good. I really like Samuel. Yeah. Is that one of the names we had? No, we didn't talk about it at all. The original, the four listing, it was number four. Oh, okay. It got the least amount of votes, but we didn't have a name until he was born. Yeah. Sam seemed right. I really do like Sam Slay. That's a good name. It's a great name. Yeah, I think so. I think it's fun. It gets going places.
I just couldn't bring myself to tell people that my... I couldn't bring myself to name my son Duke. I wanted to, but I just... It felt like more for me than for him. Here's the fun thing. You can still call him Duke. Yeah. Yeah.
I can call him. Like John Wayne. Call him whatever you want. Yeah, it's alarming. Duke can be alarming. Yeah. When it's like Dusty. It's almost like it doesn't let up. Yes. You know? What's your daughter's name? Daisy. Daisy, yeah. So Dusty, Daisy, Duke. It's like Dusty, Hannah, Daisy, Duke. It would be like someone's like, I don't. They might get vertigo. They're just like, oh. Yes.
This was like Sam and they're like, oh, it's a nice American family. Yeah, we got. Yeah. And then their wife's Canadian. They go, wait a second. But now an American citizen. She just took her. Now she is. She is here. Yeah.
She's one of us. Sam, born from just an American family. Exactly. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. Does Daisy get any, like, because her mom was still... I don't know. I think she can apply for dual citizenship. That'd be interesting, is like, does Daisy have to go through a lot more headache than, and then Sam's going to be like, I mean, I'm just rocking and rolling.
Our Daisy can travel more. I wouldn't think so. Daisy was born in the U.S., right? Yeah, so she's an American citizen. Automatically. She's got a passport already. Yeah. Because we went to Canada with her. Yeah, okay. I got a passport for the first time at like 26. My daughter already has one. Yeah. I didn't get on a plane until about 26. Yeah, I got one late too. Yeah. Well, you just travel more. It's like it's –
You just didn't take planes back then. You had to call the airport. It was a whole thing. So it wasn't. Now you can book one on your phone. I can book one in under a minute. You can book a flight. It's crazy. So, like, it's just a lot more attainable than it was back then. Yeah, I mean, I was booking flights in the hospital. Mm-hmm.
I was just hanging. I was like, I got nothing going on here. There's really nothing. I mean, it seems funny, but it's like my wife's in pain. She doesn't want me over there going, you okay? You okay? How's it going? So it's better if I just do my own thing. Yeah. Right.
yeah the other thing i'll tell him dusty is he had a as a mill train for people to deliver meals and he shared it on all his social media for the whole world to see his address and phone number oh i had no idea all that info was in there yeah we were just like well not a lot of people have signed up i mean we're fine but not a lot of people had signed up but hannah was like we were talking we're like why not just share it on social media see what happens
So we did, and then someone messages me like an hour later. Maybe don't share your home address. Yeah. I go, wow, that's good thinking. Yeah, did you take it down? Yeah. Did you get any meal? What does that do? Well, people will sign up and then bring us food. They drive it to you? Yeah, Brian brought me some food yesterday. Oh, yeah? Did you make something? Yeah. What do you cook? No, I stopped him. I asked him what he wanted. He said, whatever. Panera.
Something good. Cheesecake factory. Cheesecake factory. Now, he picked up some Whole Foods meal for us. Oh, yeah. Some chicken. And he took you to their house? Yeah. Oh. Our little daughters hung out yesterday. Yeah, and played. Daisy and Eleanor. Yeah, it was fun. That's fun. Yeah. Got him some Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Yeah. Yeah. You know about DoorDash? Yeah. Actually, Aaron got me some Grubhub. Oh, yeah. He was willing to drive.
No. See, this is the thing. I'm all about individual choice, personal freedom. So I said, why don't you make your own choice? You get your own food. I'm not going to show up at your house and bother you after you have a kid. You know what I mean? And you pay for it.
Is that what it is? Like you just say, it's just a gift card. Yeah. And then you can, you can use whatever you want. Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. So, you know, and my sister's been up all week. My sister's like a professional mom and she has been knocking it out. I mean, we've got the house is cleaned. You got, we got, she cooked all these soups and froze it and we got meals for weeks now. Mm-hmm.
I mean, we're going to, we're set. Yeah. Well, I didn't know that when I was bringing that food over. Well, we didn't know she was going to be doing that either. This guy's very scraping by. Yeah. Go by you. Like this poor mill train. Yeah. Only last. Well, you know what though? We tore that up yesterday. It was so good. Oh, good. Yeah. We tore it up. Daisy appreciated it. So. I did not bring anything. Yeah. That's the bottom line. That's why I wouldn't even bring up the story. Yeah. Yeah.
No, we've been blessed. It's been great. I've been saying blessed a lot lately. I'm like an old lady now. You would like to get... You know that movie, The Village? I watched that with M. Night Shyamalan. It's great. It is a good movie. How many movies are you going to watch before you watch Shawshank? A lot. I got another one I want to talk about today. Okay. And it's not that. But you would like to live in that. I've never seen it, I don't think. But it's a village where it's like you want...
Your world, you want like a town. It's a major spoiler, by the way. It's almost like the Amish. Yeah. Yes. That is a major spoiler? Yeah. What did I say? They live in a village. How's that?
They give that away in the title. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's how they live. They live in a village. They're all like, but it's like, they help each other. It's like, you want, like, you're a person that likes that. Like you like the mill train is part of that. Like, yeah. You know, everybody comes over. Yeah. We all live and farm together. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And you also put that pressure on your fans. Yes. That are just trying to enjoy your comedy. Just to go, will you also bring me food? Exactly. Yeah. It's understandable. I'm trying to get it. Yeah. That's what this comedy is all about. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm not really into comedy. Someone's just like, you know that comic I randomly found? I got to go drive him some KFC this weekend. A lady did, a fan did bring me some food. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Signed up. We had no idea who she was. That's nice. Yeah. She signed up. I met her at a, I did actually, my specific address number was not on there. So you could figure out the street, but not the, not the house. It's pretty, they could probably just look for the fence. That's wrong. Yeah. The only fence that's wrong. And then they're,
And they narrowed it down. Well, you know, but the, you know, I, I, I'm, I'm not too confident. Everybody can narrow things down these days. I know. But if they go, you're the only fence in the neighborhood. You're like, you're, I mean, I'll be out there barefooted in the front yard. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of, it's like, just drive down the street and go, who looks like the problem?
Yeah. And then go, that's Dusty. I asked Ruth yesterday, I said, which one of these do you think is Dusty's house? She's like, it's that one. Yeah. What pointed it out to her? I just realized. The tinfoil on the roof. That's all in the backyard.
I've been to all your houses. It's painted. The whole house is black. It's got that 5G on the outside of it. I looked up some 5G paint the other day. It's very expensive. It's dark colored, right? Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't look like it's good. You almost got to put it down as a base coat and then paint whatever color you want over it. Several coats of primer to cover it. Well, you did have some random copper wire kind of sticking out of the ground. Well, that's the electroculture that I'm in.
have been to oh have i talked about that on here i don't think so okay yeah but that's maybe one tip for ruth well yeah i mean that's the you know electro that's where you get the copper wires that you make these antennas that's supposed to be collecting energy from from the atmosphere to bring it down into the garden yeah i'm trying oh that's into your actual garden yeah yeah the copper wire goes down and runs into the ground and then it
Supposed to, I mean, the garden looks good. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, it could be the years. It could be the water and sunlight. Yeah, the years I've been putting into it. It looks good this year. Everything, I'd imagine for Hannah, you're a lot. Yeah. And everything's going to be, we have a garden, and then she's got to be like,
We also have copper wire coming out of the garden. Everything's going to be one extra thing. Yeah. She gets a normal life, but then also has to go, well, we also, you know. Well, that's a great thing about this podcast. See, I put it all out there so everybody knows. Yeah, that is good. So when they meet Hannah, they already know. Yeah.
They say bless her heart. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. I realize I've been to all your houses numerous times, and none of you have been to mine. My wife came to your house. When have you been to my house? I've picked you up and taken you places when your car wasn't running. Oh, okay. I went to your house a ton, though, your apartment.
Back in the old days, yeah. I'll be honest. Everybody gets busy now. When we were shooting your... Yeah, we were out there four times a week shooting auditions. Yeah. I can't recall an invite from you. Yeah, neither can I. Well, all of you are welcome. Thanks, man. I'll see you tomorrow. All right. Now, I came over and you helped me with some Adobe. Oh, that's right. I remember that now. Yeah. Okay. Sorry, I forgot about that. It's all right. It's all right. You...
We're doing a big race this weekend, huh? So, yeah. So I went and did the pace car. You're supposed to be a driver. So when they asked me to do this, the pace car driver, I was like, well, they're not going to let me drive. You're like, it's 2023. They're not letting people just drive the pace car in front of these cars that are worth millions of dollars. But you were. I was going to get to you.
which is insane. But you have to get certified. So you got to like at 1.30, I'm supposed to get there and I got to go drive around the track a few times to like,
so they can be like, all right, you're good. You got it. And there was lightning. So every time there was lightning and then it was like, I was going to get to do it. And then there was another strike of lightning. So then I just never got to get certified. So I was just a rider in the pace car, which is what I thought I was going to be doing. But now I'm like, well, I'd like to come back and drive this car. It's so insane driving it, the pace car and those cars are behind you. I mean, they're Ross Chastain who won the race. He is directly behind us and
in the pace car and he look how close he gets he gets I mean dude in these cars you're seeing him do that turn it's how fast are you going only like 45 50 we're not going fast okay but it feels like you're going fast yeah
And then those, I mean, they're just right there, dude. Like it's, it's, and they're just so, it's loud and they're like, you get like a little sense of like what it would be out there. Just like, this is crazy, man. And it was an awesome, awesome experience. And going to a live race is really, really fun. Yeah. Like going to NASCAR races is,
It's when you hear the car start and they're going, it's just like, it's very like, man, this is exciting stuff. Yeah. And then, uh, I met Dale Jr. That's awesome. Insane. I was back there waiting to go get in the pace car. And then, I mean, he came up to me and, uh, like, I mean, I was like, Laura was like, you know, couldn't, none of, we were just kind of in shock. And then, uh, uh, he was very nice. And, uh,
It was like super cool to meet him. Like, I mean, you know, I mean, I'm such a big fan of him, obviously. Yeah. And then he, you know, you're, I don't know if it is it. Yeah, I'm doing a gig for him. Yeah. He told me that. Yeah. So, yeah. He said, we got Dusty doing a charity thing for him. It's very exciting. Yeah. That's how I get the rest of my family to know I've made success. Yeah. Yeah. He was pumped about it.
And so it was, yeah, that was crazy to get to do that. And the whole day was. Yeah, NASCAR is so fun. NASCAR is fun. I mean, I don't get into it as much as I used to, but I've been to Bristol and you can see the whole track the whole time because it's such a, it's wild. Yeah, I would like to go to Bristol. Yeah. It would be,
When we went to all the kids, because my buddies went and then my parents. So all the kids, the girls picked Ross Chastain.
Is that his name? Yeah, I think it's his name. And then they picked him at the beginning. He was the pole setter. So he was the one in the car that got real close to me. And they picked him because they don't know that he's a pole setter. But someone just goes, if he wins, he throws a watermelon on the ground. So then all the girls are like, well, that's our guy. And so they picked him to win. We got shirts with a watermelon on it. And then he wins.
And Justin Smith, our buddy Justin Smith, his girlfriend, they went to high school with him. Wow. And so they're all very proud of him and everything he's doing. I mean, he's killing it.
And it was, yeah, the whole thing was awesome, dude. Any idea why he throws a watermelon? He's from a watermelon farm. Okay. So that's the, and then he throws it on the ground and he eats it. And he eats it like, he eats it like one thing of it where you're like, ah, that's for show. And then he picks up another part and eats again. You're like, I mean, this guy's eating this watermelon. He's getting after it. Like he's like, he loves watermelon. That's his way of being like, I don't have to work on a farm anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
We can afford now to just waste watermelon. Yeah. Uh, so yeah, the whole thing was, uh, was awesome. And we got to go and old dominion was there. And so, uh, I can see them. It's a band, but I do like them a lot. And, uh,
So it was fun to see them and the Buston and the boys, Taylor LeJuan and Will Komp. They were there. And so it was like a fun day. A lot of stuff. All the kids loved it. Some Titans were there, I saw. Yeah, I didn't see them. I think I saw, now that I saw a picture of him, and then I saw that they were there, I was like, oh, I might have seen him standing there at one point. I didn't realize who it was, but.
What more do you have left to do in Nashville? You know, governor? I don't know. He skips mayor, goes to state. You should run for mayor. I met the mayor of Lebanon. Oh, you did? Yeah, I met him. Did he know Brian? Did you grow up with him? Yeah, Brian. I told him, like, I think he knew you. Like, he didn't know you and knew –
uh, everything, but I like talked to him for a second. He was very nice. I don't know. I don't know. Is it Philip Craighead? Uh, Rick Bell. Yeah. Yeah. Cause he worked at, yeah, he was a professor at Cumberland university and my sister took, when she went there for a second, she took a class with him and then her husband, uh, his works at that school. And so he was there when he first got hired. So we just knew a lot of the same people. And then, uh, uh, super nice guy. Yeah, it was cool. And then, uh,
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, there would be, I don't know what there is to do, you know. Have you done the coin toss at a Titans game or something like that? No, like being 12th man. 12th man. 12th man would be cool. 12th man would be good. You rode out on the chariot, but 12th man. Being 12th man would be good.
And then, uh, what does that mean to be the 12th man? You're one of the more important men. And, uh, 13. Yeah. Yeah. You're better than 13. Yeah. The 13th man is he would kill to be in your position. Okay. And you know that.
And that's why you stay at the 12th. So it's 11 football players on the field. So you're the 12th man. So you represent the crowd. Okay. It's like an honor. I've heard the audience being the 12th man. Yeah. But so, oh, so you just represent the crowd. Yeah. And you go and do...
You go out there and you take a big sword. A sword and stab it in the ground. Yeah. Everybody goes, yeah, that's cool. Yeah, it's fun. All right, I like that. Yeah, it's very cool. And so, yeah, to be 12th man. You can lead Vandy out on the field. Yeah, yeah, I've never got to do that. Lead Vandy out. I like that. It gets hard when, like, because we tour when all this stuff is happening. So it's like I'm just never here.
So when you get asked to do stuff, you just are now busy. You could present at the NHL Hockey Awards. Yeah, I'm doing that tonight. Tonight I'm presenting at the NHL Hockey Awards. I believe it's on TNT. I actually have what I got to say, and I'm going to just do it. Because it will be out – I hope this comes out tomorrow. It's probably live, right? Yeah, I think it airs tonight. Yeah, so I can read this now.
They wrote this, so I got to read this on the- Give it a run through. Like some of the jokes, I'm going to give it a run through and see how it sounds. What's up, Nashville? They got a question mark and a positive. So you're presenting by yourself? Yeah. Okay. I like to do it that way too. It shows you're excited. Yeah. It's obviously a question, but you're not really asking. Yeah, it's both. What's up, Nashville? Yeah. I'm presenting the James Norris Memorial Trophy for Top Defenseman.
Did I say that right? Defense man. The first one. Defense man. They wrote this joke, and I think I read it quickly. I think I'm on board with this. The person who wrote the joke, I'm pretty impressed with. Okay. Personally, I've never defended anything in my life, especially myself. If someone wanted to fight me on the ice, I'd pull my own jersey over my head to save time.
I'd rather help you so I can get in the penalty box quicker where it's safe. If the ref gives me five minutes, maybe I'm talking him up to ten or just kick me out so I can go to the locker room and shower off my tears. And I'd never get in front of a 100-mile-per-hour shot, even if my wife was the goalie. I'd be hiding behind her like, you got the pads, babe. I'll be the big spoon. That's just me. So here are your finalists. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's not bad. I can probably –
Nate it up a little bit. Yeah. And then, uh, Trevor top defenseman. Uh, I've never defended anything in my life. You know, if someone like, if I had to get in a fight on the ice, I would, I would pull my own Jersey over my head. And then, uh, let me see. I'd rather help me. So I'm getting the penalty box quicker where it's a, I like, I would just pull my own Jersey or head and just go right to the penalty box. And the rest, like you got five minutes. I'm like, just give me 10 minutes.
I always thought, too. I like that. Yeah, I'd be like, just give me 10 minutes. Give me 10 minutes. You know what? I'll leave. That's how terrifying hockey is. I would think anytime I got kicked out of the game, I would be like, now I would just be like, the relief. Just to be like, I don't got to be out there the rest of the day? All right, I'll take it. It is terrifying, though. Yeah. To think that you, to just be able to skate, it would be amazing. But then you also could get shoulder blocked.
So here are your finals. Checked? Yeah. So, yeah, I might be. Do I got to say the whole? I guess I could. I might type it out. I'm presenting. Yeah. Personally, I've never defended anything in my life, especially my wife. You go that and you're like, what? And here are the finals. I could do my joke about defending my old joke. Like we have a gun and I don't remember the joke, but sleeps on the bed.
Personally, I've never defended anything in my life, especially myself. You could do the one about my wife asking me if I take a bullet for me. Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, that joke, but like... I thought you were talking about the home intruder. Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh, well, that's what it is, right? Taking a bullet. I think about the one with the switchblade. Yeah. I thought there were two different jokes. Yeah, I don't know. They're all blurred together. If someone wanted to fight me on the ice, I'd pull my own jersey over my head. Give right to the chase. Yeah.
If someone wanted to fight me on the ice, I'd cut right to the chase and pull my own jersey over my head. I'd really help you so I can get in the penalty box quicker where it's safe. See, I don't know if I've never defended anything in my life. That's the part I don't. But as it seems to go, I'm presenting the James Norris Memorial Trophy for top defenseman. I'm not a defenseman.
If someone wanted to fight me on the ice, I'd pull my own jersey over my head and save time. That's better, right? Yeah. A little right to it. I don't know if I like... If someone wanted to fight me on the ice, I would... I'm with you. I would just not fight. I would ask them, if someone wanted to fight me on the ice, I would say, I do not want to fight. I would say that. That's funny, right? Just to say, I do not... He goes, let's fight. I go, I do not want to fight.
just yell that can you yell that you know just in my mask I just yes I know I lifted I do not want to fight no thank you and then the ref said we got to go in the penalty box for five minutes you go I'll just do 10 minutes I'll be honest with you I'm fine with just leaving the game I don't know how I made it this far
And being a goalie, you're like, are you out of your mind? That puck is so fast. That's crazy. And you have all the stuff. I was a catcher once. All right, here are your finalists. A little something like that. It's getting better every time. Yeah, that's getting better. A little choppy, a little nady. A little nady. All right. All right. Yeah, be a mix of that.
Adam Fox, New York Rangers. Eric Carlson. Eric Carlson, San Jose Sharks. Cal, oh boy. McCarr. Cale. It's C-A-L-E, but it's pronounced K-A-Y-L. Okay. Cale? Cale. Cale McCarr, Colorado. It sounds like they just confused the pronunciation. It's like, that's how I'd say it anyway. Yeah.
I'll be honest with you. I kind of hope Adam Fox wins. I'm just going off the names. I hope they're all winners. Carlson. That's not that bad. Kel McCarr. Colorado Avalanche. Who's going to win? Did I do it? Do you have the winner on there? No, I don't. Then the James Norris Memorial Trophy goes to... Read winner's name. Winner walks up.
They don't give me the... Hillary, that part, you're saying it all. Announce. Yeah, I keep going. Winner graphic, go. Winner acceptance. Winner playoff prisoner. That's all. Exit. And then I keep going. What's up, Nashville? I'm presenting the James Norris Memorial Trophy. All right. It's exciting stuff, man. I'm a top for top defenseman. I've never been a defenseman for anything. I don't defend anything.
If someone wanted to fight me on the ice, I would ask, why am I even on this ice? That's not that good, right? If someone wanted to fight me on the ice, I would say, I do not want to fight, especially on this ice. That's pretty good. Just be very direct with them. I mean, those hockey fighters is like, what if they did that? Y'all just start fighting. Just what if someone goes, I would like, I don't think we, I don't want to fight. I'm not a defenseman.
Of my own self. Yeah. Yeah, that's a... You can just flip it all on its head. You're like, I'm not a defenseman. I'm more of an offense guy. I'll come straight at you. Yeah. No need to defend when I'm coming. But then I would be fighting. Yeah. No need to defend when I'm coming right at you. I'm saying I don't want to fight. Because we'll just go to the penalty box. Couldn't... Would love to. Go very unnate. I go, how great is the penalty box? That's like... The penalty box has got to be...
Just a nice relief. You've just been in a fight and you're just...
I always think because, you know, when the clock's counting down on the penalty, as soon as it's zero, they open that door and that guy shoots out. If it were me, I wouldn't have my pads ready. My stick would be over there. It would be 15 seconds after it's over and I'd still be gathering my stuff. I hope the door's locked and they're like, we can't get the penalty. My dream would be they can't get the penalty box open. And they go, you got to just stay in there. And I go, all right, man, I'm so mad. And I go, I can't get in there. And then I would say, you know, I couldn't get back in. Mm-hmm.
You go take a shower early. No one's in there. That's nice. Your shirt's already off. Yeah. They already yanked your jersey off. I think I'd want to start a fight just to get them to help me. It'd be hard to get that jersey off with all those pads. Once a jersey goes over your head, that's tough to... It's tough to come back from that. It's tough to come back from. Once someone gets a jersey over their head, that's a tough one. It's hard to get past that. Yeah. All right.
All right, we'll see how it goes tonight. Why don't you tell us a little bit about HelloFresh? Well, let me tell you something. HelloFresh. Hello, folks, to HelloFresh. We eat HelloFresh almost every night. I mean, honestly, Laramix, all this. This is one of those ads that you get that you're like, that's what we do already. It's America's number one milk kit.
uh, save money off your growing to do list with the help of HelloFresh. HelloFresh is cheaper than grocery shopping and 25. Uh, okay. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. We got your baby. I've said a lot. I've said a lot. I've talked about electro culture, which is really what I'm trying to say. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look, I'm just trying to bring some entertainment to this show. podcast stuff. I put it in. Uh, what is, Oh, I did a member guest this weekend too. Uh, so, uh,
Did what? A member guest. So the course I'm a member at.
Every private course has a member guest tournament. So the member brings a guest and you play. And so we made it to, we finished second place overall. First, so there's flights. So there's like six teams are in a flight and then you kind of get paired up. And then if you win your flight, you go to a shootout. And when you go to the shootout, everybody that didn't make it goes and drives golf carts and just follows you around.
And so you're hitting in front of... It's honestly the most nervous... I honestly, it's more nervous... I was more nervous here than I was Bridgestone. Really? I mean, yeah. Yeah.
I mean, now, Bridgeton, you're doing something I'm way more confident in. But it's – look at these carts, dude. You make these putts. These carts are everywhere. And then, of course, it's just – you're at a golf course, so these dudes are loaded. Yeah. And they're just yelling. They're chirping. There's a lot of like – I was like putting –
So I played White, England. My buddy Wyatt. Wyatt played out of his mind. He's just really – he's the only reason we were even in this thing. Kind of bumped you there. Oh, well, he was pumped, dude. And he did great. I had a great chip here. But Wyatt was the reason we were in play. And, I mean, there's just carts, dude. I mean, there's 50 carts just sit with people. That's crazy. And they're like, I had one putt. That was a little putt. They're like, you going to make that one? They're just yelling at you. And you're like, I don't know if I'm going to make it.
I had a tap-in putt that was two inches, and it was the most nervous putt I've had over anything when I played Pebble Beach. I was more nervous over this just because it was like – it would just be embarrassing to mess up. So we finished second place, and it was very fun. And it was a very – they do a great – member guest are – I'm sure a lot of people that are golfers play in these. And I think – I mean, every course, the member guest is usually the funnest event, and it's –
It depends on where you're at. They can just be – I mean, they can get – there's another course that Wyatt's a member of. They said they did one and there was just a big fight. I mean, people – I mean, these dudes are just – they go out and just –
The people that drink, they start early. And I mean, it's 8 a.m. Yeah, that's what golf is all about, I thought, was about the drinking. Well, people like to play it, but a giant portion of it is the drinking. And so they love it. Yeah. And you do something like this. It's like their wives know. They make a big speech about it, I'm sure. It's member guest.
It's going to be, and they know they're going to get there at 7 a.m. and they're not going to leave until 7 or 8 p.m. And then they're going to come home and, you know, it's going to be a problem. Like these dudes, it's just a bunch of old dudes that are getting after it. But we loved it and everybody was super cool and it was super fun. And so we did get it. So the movie I want to say, because I know I feel like I've talked a lot.
So I watched Vertical Limit. You ever seen Vertical Limit? No. Don't know it. Never heard of it. It's got those people in it. So Chris O'Donnell's in it. Bill Paxton's in it. Robin Tooney. Oh, I've seen some of this. Like, you know them all. Yeah. That main guy, though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's been in some stuff. Scott Glenn. He's not the main... He's...
He is one of the, I mean, he's a somewhat main guy. Bill Paxton, probably. Bill and Chris O'Donnell are probably the two big ones. But they want to climb the K2 mountain, which is like the crazy mountain. And then they get- Most difficult one on earth to climb, they say. So he wants to go climb this mountain. In the movie, it was like, there's just funny stuff in it. Like, I've talked about it. When you write a TV show, it's like you got to have conflict.
Sure. You know? And so, like, that's what if you... A movie or a TV show, like, if you go try to sell it to a network or somewhere, they're going to be like, well, where's the conflict? And this was nothing but conflict. It's A, it starts with the hardest mountain ever to climb. So there's your first conflict. Yeah. And then it's like the second... And then the conflict after, it was like too much. So to start the movie...
the girl, Chris O'Donnell and that Robin are, uh, Toonie are brother and sister. Their dad dies. And, uh, so their dad dies in a climbing accident with them. So there's your first conflict. Their dad's gone. So they show them. They're still into climbing. Yeah. They're, well, yeah, they're both into climbing. They don't talk that much. The, the, uh, Robin has become the best female climber in the world. And, uh,
Chris O'Donnell is... I forget what he is. He's like a journalist. No, he's like a... I don't know what he is. He's like a journalist or something like that. But he's in Still Climbing. So then they randomly are at K2 at the same time.
And so now they're there and it's like, oh, you know, I don't want to tell you your sister's down there and it's like, oh, how's she doing? Like, and it's all these mountain people that are like, you know, she's doing art. They all just know each other. And I guess they were, she doing, she's the best in the world. She's the best in the world. Yeah. She's, she's on the cover sports illustrated. She was like doing all this stuff. So then they go, uh, they go down there and she's climbing bill Paxton. Who's a billionaire that wants to go up there. He wants to climb K2 and he wants to push it to, he doesn't care. He's going to get up to the mountain. Um,
Last time he tried, I think people died and the weather became bad and so he couldn't do it. So this time he's like, well, I'm going to do it. And they're like, the weather looks good and all this stuff. Weather's not good. Did you watch this movie because of how relevant it is to everything that happened over the weekend? No. Titanic? Yeah, with the submarine. Oh, no.
No, but the parallels are pretty, pretty obvious. Oh, it's crazy. Yeah. A billionaire who. Yeah, that is true. And it goes down. Yeah. I'd say with this, the, that with the Titanic stuff, I felt like there was a lot of jokes and stuff, but you're like, I didn't really love all the jokes. I hated the jokes. You're like the memes and stuff. And you're like, it's as a society, you want to go, you know, dude, like, I mean, they had no idea. Like, what are these bad people? Like everybody's like happy.
There's a lot of that. Like a lot of that where you're like, what's wrong with you? Like, it's sad. I totally agree with you. Dustin Nickerson had the best tweet I saw. He said the reason that James Cameron had to put up Leo DiCaprio, a poor young kid in Titanic is because if it wasn't for that, it would be a comedy. Just rich people dying on a ship. Yeah. You got to put a poor person there for people to care. Yeah. Which I thought was a good point. Yeah. Yeah. It's still like, you don't root for it, man. Like it's whatever, like,
It's crazy. What do you think really happened, Dusty? Well, I've not been able to keep up with it, but I always think it probably just didn't happen. Oh, yeah. That's what I always think. Yeah. I didn't get to, you know, it's hard to watch stuff when you've got vertigo and a baby. I can't be like, hey, keep the baby down. I'm trying to watch a video on the submarine. Yeah. But that's always my thought. And also I thought, you know what? Maybe have NASA build you some submarines. Yeah.
Yeah, it was just a – they've been down a bunch. Can't seem to figure out this water thing. We got space down pretty well. Let's get NASA working on these submarines. It's someone – it's – I think – Let's get a rover down there. I think everybody like takes – like now with social media, weirdly enough, it's like people take things very lightly. Like they – and this is my back to like how great life is right now even though the terrible things are.
everybody thinks like, well, you can't die anymore. Like nothing's going to happen to you. Like life is amazing. And like, and they almost, so they're like, yeah, we'll just go down there and go see it. And you're like, Hey, it's a nature and everything's kind of like, yo, we're still like a problem. And if you go, I mean, once you go down to a certain level, like light is not down there.
And then like you get so deep, it's like that submarine just goes and crumbles. And so then the guy that's making the submarine, like seems like there was problems there. Like that guy's just trying to like,
make money. I mean, they don't, no one, you can't trust anybody who wants to put in hard work and they just pick the, and it's horrible, but they got a guy that is running that thing that apparently did not want to work. He doesn't, they don't want to work. They don't want to overly check everything. They don't want to be serious. People are not serious about things. You might think about getting a remote control operator to try that thing a couple of times before you send people. Well, they have, they've done it. That was the thing, they'd made successful trips down there.
But it's just- In that submarine. Yeah. But it was just a matter of time before- So who were the people on the submarine? Maybe they were trying to kill those ones. No. Well, it's that, I mean, it's a billionaire. So, and his son. I mean, it costs like 150, 250 grand. 250,000. 250,000. I saw one thing Mr. Beast said he was asked to go on it. Yeah. Yeah. And then he didn't. But it's like, yeah. I mean, luckily, it's like, not luckily, but like, that's something I would never be able to- You're in a-
Just a tube. Size of a minivan. Almost smaller than that. And you're just sitting in there, and it's eight hours down. Yeah, I'm not into it. And that would be... If you won a contest somehow, you can go for free, would you do it? No. No, I couldn't handle it. Especially if they're giving it away. I would need... I don't know if I would enjoy seeing the pictures of it. You're still seeing that Titanic through a window. So it's like...
What's the difference of me? I would be more interested to go down enough where you can't see sunlight. I think that would be kind of crazy. Oh, you can do that. No, I know. Pretty easily. Well, I'm saying there's stuff like that. I'd be more interested in just being like, let's go down to whatever the safest area is that's no sunlight. I don't know if I need to go down to the bottom of...
That stuff. But most people want to see things. You want to see less. Well, I'm just saying if you've seen it through a window and you're just like, stuff could go wrong. There's like a National Geographic video where this guy talked about going way deep down and he was like, they got so far down that there were like underwater lakes. And I don't even know how that's possible, but he did, it was a National Geographic thing where he talked about there being underwater lakes. Wow. It's so wild. That's why I'm like, always like,
The ocean seems so much more interesting to me than space. I just don't know why that's not our main exploration. I think we're trying. Yeah, and then everyone laughs when you die trying. Yeah. Well, I don't think it's funny if people die, but I always question if that even... Yeah, if there is an ocean.
Exactly. Exactly. There's been a lake and an ocean. You tell me. Well, if you've seen some of the great lakes, you're like, wow, is this the ocean? Yeah. So I did not do it because of that. So I was watching VertiLimit. Yeah.
I guess I don't know if I'm going to ruin it. This is a very old movie. This came out in 2000. Yeah, it's 2000, and it's like, I'm not, there's no, you know, this is not a. I've never even heard of this movie. Yeah, this is not a movie that you're like, it's not Sixth Sense. Oh, I thought it was great. Yeah, I know. This means, increasingly, the Rotten Tomatoes score means nothing to me. Yeah, but the audience one is usually pretty good. I don't even care about the audience one. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it was like... Have you ever filled out a review on Rotten Tomatoes? No. Well, there you go. It's just like, who's taking the time to review this stuff? Chris O'Donnell really had a moment, but he's kind of gone now. He did. He's still great. So they go in, right? So he wants to go climb up. He's using this person. So then there's that guy that you said is in other movies. Scott Glenn? Scott Glenn. So he's like a guy that's climbed the mountains forever and...
He's been up there. He's lost all his toes. And he took the billionaire guy, the first time he took them up. And then, so this billionaire guy goes up again. And then that's when he gets them to be like,
Chris was like, my sister's up there. We need you to go help us climb because we got to get there in 24 hours or they're going to die because they've been... There's an avalanche and they got crammed over the avalanche because there's a storm. Because when they're climbing, there's a storm and then they go, hey... I mean, just like conflict, conflict. They go, there's a storm and then they go, all right,
the guy goes, well, we're just going to keep going. Bill Paxton, the billionaire goes, we're just going to keep going. And then the other guy's like, I mean, it's a storm. Like, it's like, it's just over. And then he talks them into it. And then the girl that's the greatest climber ever is like, I'm sure it's fine. Like she doesn't, you know, her whole life is on a mountain and you're on the craziest mountain ever. And like, that's like the most known thing that storms come. And so they go, they fight through it. Uh,
If you're looking at this picture, a million back-breaking falls. Those falls where you got a rope just tied around you. I mean, everybody fell like that three to four times. I mean, your back would be shattered. It would just be, okay, like, you know. So a ton of those falls. And then they go up. They get that helicopter. I mean, everybody almost dies with that helicopter.
There's a war going on between India and maybe Iran or something. Pakistan, maybe. It's something. So that war is going on. And that's just kind of the backdrop. Is this mountain in that part of the country? Yeah. Okay. The backdrop is just like there's a war going on between these countries. And then I think the Indian dudes that ran the government were like, oh, well, we have these like...
explosives you can take and try to blow up the hole to get them out of the avalanche. They were buried underneath.
So they take that up and then, uh, they realize, well, sun gets on that and it makes it explode. So then they gotta, then they gotta put the, they gotta get it immediately in snow and cool it down. Uh, but I mean, they all, all of them explode. There's three of them and, uh, all but one explode. The other two just explode just on their own, like randomly, like they drop. It's a big thing. Then the avalanche comes. Uh,
I'm trolling off now. Oh, then when they're climbing the mountain, so they finally get that guy to go, that's the big climber with no toes. Yeah. They get him to come climb, and it's a big deal because he's done it that quickly before. Mm-hmm.
And so he's going- But he had toes last time. He lost his toes because of Frostbite. He lost his toes. But he's going to do it. And then Chris O'Donnell's going up there. They need his help. They're trying to save his sister. It's always funny to me when there's like, because when you're like, you got this time strain in a movie, but they still have like, they still got to have like moments of like,
They're just sitting there like hanging out, laughing. And you're like, I mean, wouldn't you be? I think the vibe would be pretty crazy. Yeah. Like there doesn't feel like a sense of urgency when the urgency is like, we have 24 hours or they're dead. Right. And. Got to humanize them a little bit. Yeah. And then, so he's climbing up there. Chris O'Donnell and him are climbing up the rocks. And then Chris O'Donnell just taught them. They're on the side of a, you know, a two mile rock, just nothing beneath them. And Chris O'Donnell is like,
He goes, I don't feel like you're climbing for the right reasons. He tells that guy that he needs. And he goes, if you've got another agenda, then maybe we don't need you to do this. And the guy's like, your sister's going to die in 12 hours. Climbing for the wrong reasons. He's like, I'll just do it on my own. And then he just gives him the things. And he goes, then go do it. You've got 12 hours.
He's like, you know, like you need him. So then he agrees to keep climbing. So then there was that fight. Like, it's crazy that Chris O'Donnell's mind would even go to his sister. He sounds like a journalist. He's trying to press his... Yeah. He's trying to help his sister and he just out of nowhere just goes...
Yeah, you know what? I don't like this. I don't like the vibe. I get it. The way you describe it, though, makes me see why I got 41%. You're describing it negatively. It was very fun, though. What was Robin in? She was in 90210?
Sure. Uh, I don't know. I recognize her. She's been to a ton of stuff. Dex. So then when they're in there, Dexater is like this, whatever they take Dexater helps them take a shot of Dexter. I guess it's like a steroid or something and it helps them if you do it. And, uh, so not to give it all away, but they get that billionaire bill Paxson. He has Dexter. They're trapped. What's Dexater. It's like a thing, a steroid. I don't even know, but it's like you take it and it helps you stay alive. Uh,
But it could not be real, too. But there's three of them trapped. One guy looks like he's dying. So then Bill Paxton's like, well, we don't need to give him the Dexter. He's going to die. But the girl's like, no, we're going to give it to him. So they both take it. And then Bill Paxton ends up killing him.
And then you find out the old man, his wife was killed by Bill Paxton the last time they went. Wow. This is the exact same thing. Whoa. This is the exact same thing. Bill Paxton has gone to the K2 Mountain.
Twice. And got himself- Killed people both times. Got himself in the exact same situation. Both time, got trapped, had a bunch of Dexitar, and then just immediately was like, well, none of y'all can have it because you're basically dying. And then the guy's wife was the, you know. And then so that's the movie. Did they make it to the top? I don't think I explained it. I bet if people made it through that, that's pretty impressive. Yeah.
If people probably fast forward it, as I was doing this, I was like, this is not making sense. Did they get to the top though? They got to them. They weren't getting to the top. They got to them. They reached their vertical limit. Yeah. They reach, yeah. They go, you're past the, there's a lot of that. You're past the vertical limit. So vertical limit is the past of the point where they said, you're not dying up there. You're already dead. That's what the guy said. So everybody was already past the point of like. Don't you like when they say the title of a movie in a movie?
It's fun. I like it. He goes, you can't. Well, it's when it comes out of nowhere. Yeah. And you're just like, I don't know if I like. The best is when Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive does it. Yeah. Well, how does he do it? Well, he comes and he goes, we got ourselves a fugitive. You know, something like that. That's fun. Yeah, it's a good one. That's a good one. It's like how you do it. I think that was special. It was like.
I did full-time magic, and yelled at by a clown or two that I say. After that, I was like, I didn't think I wanted to do it. It felt weird. But I think it'd have to be – it's like how it's done. It's a tricky thing. It has to be done in a way where you almost don't even realize it was done. You didn't say hello, world, when you started your special? No. I did say the Tennessee kid when I walked out. I'm the Tennessee kid.
All right. All right, look. They constantly called. I wrote all this down. You took some real show notes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Man. They say the storm is coming. They go, it's coming. And he goes, we're fine. You know, stuff like that. I like Bill Paxton. Rest in peace, man. Yeah. He was great. Oh, he died, huh? He did, yeah.
Oh, he did? Mm-hmm. Oh, that's tough. He's been in a lot of great movies. Apollo 13. Tombstone. Oh. All right. We've got to read some of your comments. Well, what do you got to do? You climb a mountain like that, you make all those back-breaking falls, you're going to need a Helix mattress. That is true. And thanks to our friends at Helix.com.
sleep for sponsoring this episode now i bought a twin size helix mattress not long ago uh for my daughter we're gonna transition her into that mattress but because we bought a brought a new baby home my wife has been kind enough to really do all the baby stuff at night and lets me sleep so i've been sleeping on this helix twin mattress and i gotta tell you ever
Hello folks and hey bear 12 minutes in it's clear this episode is gonna be an all-timer Buckethead has really brought his stage slash podcast persona to the next level fun times gentlemen thanks for the laughs when I read this earlier I didn't realize they were talking about Brian I thought that you guys were mentioning the guitar player Buckethead
Oh, there's a... Yeah, and I was like, whoa, what happened? We brought him on. That's a real person? Buckethead, what band is he in? I don't know if he's in a band. Ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist, Buckethead. Yeah, I feel like he played with... I don't know. I don't know his whole history, but yeah, Buckethead's a... Is it Slash? I don't think so. It looks like he's got long hair like Slash. But apparently very good. Yeah.
Tyler Johnson, in a span of 30 seconds, Nate asked where they run the Indianapolis 500 and said the race is run through the city and said, never mind, it's run on a square track. That is what keeps me coming back. Do a little circle of emotions there.
Brandy Sheckles Coy. Brandy Sheckles Coy. It was PF Flyers in the Sandlot, Aaron. Maybe Brad Pitt wore Chucks in Moneyball.
Now, I've got these two shoes pulled up. Tell me these don't look similar. That's a PF Flyer. That's a Converse shoe. Almost the same shoe. I mean, they're built exactly the same with the rubber bottom and then a canvas on the side. Were the PF Flyers like a cheaper version? I think they were the premium. Oh, really? I mean, in the movie, they're built up to be, this is a huge deal that he has these shoes. Yeah. These are the fastest shoes in the world. Yeah.
And they look exactly like converses. But they're not. But they're not. And I'm sorry about that. Yeah. Get it right. It's embarrassing. Yeah. Sarah Cranston. I work at a specialty running shoe store, and I just have to say the book Born to Run made some good points, but it didn't mention concrete at all.
We live in an industrialized nation. Good recovery. Yeah. And people read that book, read that book, and went out to buy those five-finger shoes, then injured themselves, and there was a class action lawsuit. If you're hanging out on the golf course all day, wear whatever you want, but if you're hitting the pavement, please have some cushion. So people were buying those five-finger shoes and going and running on concrete? Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, there should be some...
You know, some laws in there for just people's own stupidity. You know what I mean? Like you're buying these and you're like, oh, there's not a lot of cushion. I'm going to go run on concrete. And so they'd be breaking the law. They should not be allowed to sue. Oh, yeah. That's what I mean. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, suing is like a fun thing. What are these golf shoes, Nate? Five-finger golf shoes. You think if I showed up on the course with these? I think your swing, they'd be like, that makes sense.
What kind of comments would they say at the member guest round? If you showed up like that and was too handicapped, then you'd be. But yeah, if you showed up like that and you swung, you'd be like, we're in for a long day. Josh Case. While Nate was giving Mike a hard time about the size of his shoes, he said they cost more because they have to use a wheelbarrow to bring them into the store.
I'm just curious how many of the band know that it's actually wheelbarrow. I did not. Is it? That's what I've always said is a wheelbarrow. It is wheelbarrow. I got into this because a children's book had that in there like that. And I had no idea. I've always called it a wheelbarrow myself. And it is a wheelbarrow. Wow. Yeah. I'd never heard of that. But then you think, why would it be called a wheelbarrow?
A barrel? Yeah. I would think because it's like half of a barrel, almost. You turn a barrel over, cut it in half. But I think a barrel, I think of a wooden barrel. Oh, I think of a metal barrel that you could burn, put a fire in. Oh, I think of the wooden Donkey Kong barrel. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's like one that you like, do they just switch it to barrel then? Just because you're like, we're all doing that. Yeah. Look, that's just... Yeah. Is it, you say if you buy, I've never heard that. That's unbelievable. Yeah.
Barrow is a derivation of the old English Baroo, which was a device used for carrying loads. That's where Barrow comes from. You would say it. That's what I was taught growing up. Yeah, you were taught the right things. That makes so much sense. The rest of us have just heard old relatives say it over the years. We dug into the etymology. So you've always said it the right way. Wheelbarrow is how I've always said it. Yeah.
It's unreal. I know. Unreal. Very educated. Yeah, it is. A long line of education. A long line. That's how you get into college. It's good. We shouldn't criticize Aaron for being educated. No, that's right. I'm marveling at it. Take a submarine down to... Sorry. Michael Caulfield. Michelle. Michelle Caulfield. My husband is a retired fire captain. I wish I would just stick with it, yeah. Yeah.
My husband is a retired fire captain. All the guys in his city's department have a saying for calling out sick, throwing a shoe. What? All the guys in his city's department have a saying for calling out sick, throwing a shoe. It originated from the fact that way back before motorized vehicles, fire engines were wagons pulled by horses. And when a horse loses its shoe, it can't work until the shoe is replaced. I like that. Yeah. That's fun. They know the reason behind it. Mm-hmm.
Old sayings like that are fun. Yeah. That's what I'm assuming. You didn't know the reason of throwing a shoe? You know this throwing a shoe saying? No, I didn't know that. Oh, okay. I'm going to...
Well, I thought that's a real bad difference. It did sound like you were saying like, Oh, I've only said that. I'm saying I like old sayings like that. That's a fun to learn a new one. Yeah. I'm going to throw in a shoe next week. I don't know if I can, I can handle them, but not back to back. Yeah. Not Will Barrow. And then you also know throwing a shoe. Well, throwing a shoe seems like more of a, that seems like more of an expression. People that say Will Barrow would know. Oh yeah. That's an old school, like, like Aaron's family had cars before everybody else did. Oh yeah.
I mean, he didn't know Pia Flyers and Sandlot. Y'all probably never owned a donkey. All horses. Yeah. Like, you know, get that mule off our yard. As you say next to the slave family. Amanda Zirdirek. Zirdirek. They say all three names for serial killers as a courtesy for people who have the same name. I assume people appreciate it if their name is the same as the killer.
Still probably awkward for your neighbors who don't know your middle name. Excited to see you in Tampa in December and looking forward to Nate's interperation of how my name is pronounced because I can't even say it correctly. That's funny. Yeah. Interperate. Why don't you say that word?
Interpretation. Aaron's sitting this one out. Interpretation. Yeah, you got it. Interpretation. Yeah. Yeah. You know what it is, Aaron. It's killing you inside. I was just in Tampa. Did you know there are chickens everywhere in that city? Oh, really? Just on the street. Ybor City? Yeah, Ybor City. Just packs of chickens running around. Yeah. It's wild. And everybody acts like it's normal. It's like, this is not going on other places. Key West, it was like that when I was there, too. What happened? I think they- Like Florida. Yeah, they just let them roam.
Maybe there's not a lot of coyotes down there. We need to introduce some coyotes into that. There's a lot of big snakes. Yeah. That's true. They're not on the street, thankfully. Zachary Whiskey. Zach Whiskey. Zachary Whiskey. Zachariski. I'm loving the throwing of the tennis balls after the wedding. Weird family traditions are the best, and they seem so normal to you, but no one else gets it.
My uncle heard about this, and he sent me some pictures to verify that this happened. Looks like Hillary Clinton behind him. What's that? Young Nate? It's a young Nate hanging out the tennis balls. It does. This is a family friend, Peters. I think that's who that is, handing out tennis balls. We got him very... Peters? Yeah, Peters is his name. Plural. Yeah. Last name, I'm guessing. No, that's first name.
He played football at Purdue, actually. What's his last name? Drew did? That guy right there handing out the tennis balls. Oh, really? Yeah. That's my sister on the right. You want him to throw a tennis ball? No, he's younger than this. Younger in football? Yeah, yeah. Peters is his first name? Yeah, it's a family name. And then this is a picture of them actually getting pelted here.
That's your sister getting hit? No, my sister's not in this picture, but these are my cousins. Oh, look at that. She's right back. Yeah, they're really getting hit with these things. He says this is payback for he had played some pranks on a couple of his other sister's weddings. Yeah. And then this was getting back at him. And then it just kept going? Yeah, and it just became a thing. Yeah. And the way you would have a history like that, the Webbers have a history. What do you mean?
Like a tradition like this is like, it seems like you're like an old saying, like the throwing a shoe is like that. Like it's going to be, you know, when people read the encyclopedia about the Webers and it talks about your family, how dominant y'all were and.
Just on the, you know, came from a lot of big money. Right. Stuff like that. Even that basket looks fancy. Yeah. And then they're going to go, and then now we all throw tennis balls. And they go, how did that get started? And you go, well. Yeah. You know, the Weber family, everybody goes, of course. Of course. In defense of Aaron, he counted out donuts at his wedding. So he's taking it a different direction. I do like the tennis balls. I would love to have done the tennis balls. I think we just forgot about it. Maybe the next one. All right.
Adam Cutepow. Cute, cute pal. Adam Cutepow. Birdseed Baits is not wrong. It was tradition to throw rice at weddings, but there was an urban legend that it would kill birds if they ate it. They changed it to birdseed in the 80s after the Connecticut ban throwing rice at weddings.
Do we know that's an urban legend? I looked on Snopes and they say it's not true. I don't trust Snopes. Well, I know you don't. I know you don't, but yeah. But it's like, yeah, it makes sense though. If the birds eat the rice and then it swells up in their stomach. I don't think it makes the birds explode, but it could kill them. Well, they tell you not to give seagulls Alka-Seltzer, right? At the beach. That's one of the things they tell you. They do. It's a little different, but...
Who would be doing that? I think people were doing it. I have heard that. Because if you're... Because they can't digest it, they blow up. If you're sailors out at sea would take Alka-Seltzer, and if they're stranded at sea, they would throw it up.
And the seagull comes in and snatches it. Dies, and then you got some food in your boat. Oh, I thought they were doing it just for entertainment. No, I think it's a way to... That's good that there's a purpose behind it. Oh, okay. Yeah. So don't do that at the beach. I may have totally made that up, but I feel like I heard that. You just think people are at the beach like, oh man, this fish must be giving these seagulls heartburn. Yeah. Dead gamut. Guys, you gotta climb down a ladder. Hey! Hey!
Look at the sign. What does it say about Alka-Seltzer? Yeah. No Alka-Seltzer. How much Alka-Seltzer does a man need? Let's throw Alka-Seltzer at weddings. Yeah. That's crazy. I never heard that at all. You never heard about the rice or the Alka-Seltzer? The Alka-Seltzer. Yeah. Enough that it was like when you walked out to a beach, they were like, just a heads up. Yeah.
The Gizmodo said they will not blow up if they eat Alka-Seltzer. But they might die. It sounds like they're encouraging us to go try it. Yeah, who was bringing Alka-Seltzer? All out of popcorn. I guess I'll start throwing this Alka-Seltzer. I think the people that need Alka-Seltzer, they don't have the freedom to be wasting it. I wouldn't be wasting it. Yeah. I was going to say, do not give peanut butter to small birds. Man, we're finding out the hard way. They can't eat a lot of stuff.
And at the end of it, it says, I have not fed peanut butter to small birds. So he writes this thing and goes, do not give peanut butter to small birds. They can't swallow it, and it will harm them.
I have not fed peanut butter to small birds. For the record. Yeah. I don't know from experience. It feels like I know a lot about this. That's just coincidence. You're like, okay, guy that probably fed peanut butter to small birds. Like no one says, no one at the end of it goes, by the way, I have not. Yeah. You shouldn't do it. Listen, I've seen this dog, but it did not come from my job. Because I did not do it. That's Greg Warren.
Yeah. To their meat eaters. This guy says, I've eaten seagull once. It was pretty good. We caught a young one which lived outside the city and probably eaten most fish. Oh, so there's a big debate going on whether you should eat seagulls. Personally, I don't think you should. What if you're lost at sea? This guy says the eggs of seagulls are pretty good, though. You gotta check the local laws before gathering. Yeah.
How do you go find these local laws for this stuff? Yeah. Where do you go? Do you go in the court? You can go to City Hall. And you go, what's the filling on the seagull eggs here? A few seagull eggs. Do you just have a seagull section? I just want to dig into that. Can I go to your seagull section, please? And then you go over and you open a big book. And it's like no accessor. It doesn't say anything about the eggs.
Yeah. You go, oh. Now, what nest is it you have on your front porch? Doves. Oh, dove nests, yeah. They hatched, grew up, and flew away. Oh. It was amazing. That's, well. I watched these doves grow up. They flew away, and the next day I had a baby. Oh, wow. Yeah. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Yeah. I hope they don't come back. Well. Well, me too, I guess. I don't know why I hope they don't come back, but the way you've said it, I hope. Yeah.
I'll throw a tennis ball at him. Josh Lute. I deliver for DoorDash. Late last year, I delivered Chick-fil-A to Michael Jordan. Oh, wow. He lives here in South Florida, and he ordered two spicy chicken sandwiches and a waffle fry. The tip was not great, but it was pretty cool to see his house and the golf course that surrounds it.
That's nice. I think the problem is everybody expects Michael Jordan's going to give a huge tip. I don't know what you're going to give. You can't be like, he's going to give you $100. But I'd imagine if you're Michael Jordan, you need to at least go to the top. I think you've got to do more than that. I know, but that's like a lot of extra. You've got to go type in $10 or something. But how much are you going to give?
For a spicy chicken sandwiches and a waffle fry. So that's probably $11, $15. That's probably $30 total with all the DoorDash fees and stuff. No. Yeah, dude. It adds up.
I'm telling you. $30. I trust Aaron on this. With no drink, maybe $26, $27. And then, so then what do you think he's going to give? $20? Yeah. If you're Michael Jordan. If it's $20, is someone going to consider $20 great? Like, are they going to be like, well, he's Michael Jordan. He should give me $1,000. Like, you know, it's like. I guess you're right. I guess it would take a lot for somebody to be like, yeah, it was a nice tip from Michael Jordan. Yeah, Josh, tell us how much it was. How much was the tip? Well, I think Josh. Tell us where his house is. No, well, yeah. Yeah.
I think, but Josh is saying, like, it was, you know, it's like, it is pretty cool to see that, like, you see the right things that you're like, yeah, the tip might have been great, but like, you know, I delivered to Michael Jordan. Like, that's, it's like, the story was worth it. You tell that story the rest of your life. But why even include that the tip wasn't great?
Because we would have asked about it. Because everybody's going to immediately say, what'd you get? He's like, I think he gave me two houses. Yeah. Yeah. And you go, what? But like, you know, I know he's rich, but it's like for the rest of his life, every time he orders food, he's got to tip people a hundred bucks now. I think a lot. I would. Like some people got, I think you got to tip, like you could end up being, when you're that, no, you have to tip more. If you're, you got to tip a hundred percent. I mean, I think. Is he a billionaire? Yeah.
But it could... You got to tip 100% of whatever your thing is. There's a point where you like...
I think you probably just give out hundreds. Maybe Josh didn't have good service. No, Josh. The way I read this is Josh did great. It could have showed up cold. He asked for three spicy chicken sandwiches. Josh wrote it. Of course he's going to act like he did great. I think I'm on team Josh. I was until Dusty made that point. Now I'm on team Jordan. As a server, I was always honest. When people didn't tip me well, I would ask myself, was that service good? Sometimes it wasn't. Sometimes it wasn't.
I don't think he's really saying, he's saying the tip was not great. Like he's saying it like, you know, how was the tip? You're like, not great. He was like, whatever. It was fine. But I got to see his house and stuff. That's pretty cool. Like that's how I'm reading him with Josh is like, he's like, he's not mad that he's not tipping. No, I'm joking. He should hand out some of his old shoes or something just out the door. Just. Yeah. What I'm reading is this guy had everything and he had an opportunity to give me something and didn't.
Oh, I don't read it like that. That's how I read Josh. No, because it would have been way more about the tip. Because when I worked way to tables, a girl did that about a Cubs player, and she called in a radio. Like, I saw people act like that. Oh, yeah. And they ain't acting like, they don't sound like Josh. They sound like, can you believe this kid? Like, they, you know, people that are rooting for the Titanic. But Josh has sat on this for a year or so. Six months. Six months.
He hasn't said it. We never talked about DoorDash until last week. Yeah, we talked about famous people who have to order DoorDash. Yeah, yeah. Rich people. Yeah. So that's where it all came from. But who knows?
Sarah Taylor, Brian, I was at that event at the Music City Center. I felt terrible for you. They had you go on at the worst possible time. We couldn't hear you at all. We were all chatting with friends we had not seen in a year and all so confused. They should have had you go on during dinner. I'm so sorry. We felt terrible for you.
I got three or four comments about it. People that were there? That were there. Hers was the nicest. I like that she says...
I felt terrible for you. And then she said, we were all chatting with friends. Yeah. Like not they were, we were. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's like, it's a tough situation where they haven't seen them in a year and they're like, oh, I can't wait to catch up with you and all this. And then they do the show. Like even the same lady should have you gone during dinner. You don't even want to go on during dinner, but that would have been better if
In this rare case, it would have. It really hurt that they had no idea that there was going to be entertainment, and they're just confused. One person said, was that a youth pastor up there giving a testimony? Yeah. They just didn't know what it was. Wow. The senior pastor going up there, the youth pastor. Well, it doesn't mean I'm a youth. It just means that's who I oversee. I still don't think you're. Well, you're giving me a compliment then. You're paying me a compliment by calling me the senior pastor.
I'm saying, however you want to spin it. Yeah. He's just calling you old. I don't think you're in charge. I think you talk to the seniors.
I think they willed your group out of the main church and now they're in another church. I think as a youth pastor, I don't know if they're going to have someone that, you know, their grandfather taught. I mean, I missed this though. Is there a way to tell me what happened? I did a show at the Music City Center, corporate, and they wanted to recreate a night at the Opry. Okay. So they had a...
Country music singer. They didn't do it. No. I showed a video last week. It was a Wednesday night at the opera. Yeah. I showed a video last week. The tables were so far back, and then there's a giant dancing –
a floor in the middle for them to dance on. And it was just terrible stuff. And apparently everyone said they could not hear me at all, which I didn't know that was an issue. The worst part about those gigs is like when people in the audience actually think that there was a chance that you could do well in that setting.
where they're like, what happened? And it's like, this was not set up for comedy. All the comments I've seen from this, it's like they didn't, it's like they were hanging out and they look up and they're like, is that Brian Bates up there talking? That's what it sounds like. It's like they weren't even told, hey, there's a show starting. This video is from the stage? Yeah, I took that during soundcheck. That's how far, oh my goodness.
Yeah. I've done better. And he could have taken the same video during the show. Yeah. I've done better bar shows than this. I mean, that is unreal. It is funny when you have to do a show and they're so far away from you. Yeah. That is always kind of crazy. This looks like a casino in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. There's a dance floor in between you and the audience. This could be one where you go up there and you're like, I'm going to sit down. I'm not a...
pro sit down comic, like unless you're, but like this one, you could be like, if you don't want to walk out to the thing, you could be like, I'm going to sit down. Cause it's at least demanding something, I guess I kind of feel like. So you could maybe sit down and at least just be like, just sit down and just. Maybe just eat a meal. Yeah. And demand like. Yeah. Like you're sitting down on a stool. And I think that's like,
I don't know. I'm just trying to throw out an idea. You're just trying to eat. How long were you up there? 20 minutes. That's a long 20 minutes. It was. It was a very long 20 minutes. You could have done two hours worth of material in that 20 minutes. I know. And I said this last week. When you do an... And I don't have many act outs, but when you do an act out or a voice or anything and nobody's listening, it's really awkward. Oh, yeah. Ryan's on the floor for a minute. Doing John Chris material. Yeah. Rolling around. Just yelling. Hey!
I, uh, for us, I, uh, considered joining rocket money. That's how bad I needed to. Oh, did you really? Yeah. Is that stressful? I had to make some cuts. Well, I say, listen, you know, rising prices are stressing me out. Yeah. I mean, aren't they stressing everybody out? If you're looking for ways to cut costs.
I recommend Rocket Money. You could be wasting money and not even realizing it. I talk about it all the time. I sign up for stuff and I forget. And then, you know, you're not combing through your credit card statement every month. Rock a movie and just said, all right, let's wrap it up. And you go, what? You're not, yeah, the movie's like that level of,
Yeah, it's like we're enjoying ourselves. Yeah. If you're not, you can get out. All right. How long is this going to go? Go home. Yeah. Like, what are you talking about? Go home. I need everything to be done. Daryl, if Dusty lived in Australia, he could not name his son Duke as we are banned from naming our children after royal titles. So no Duke, Duchess, Prince, Princess, Queen, or King. However...
Why would you drop the sleigh, though? Kingsley. Kingsley.
Well, yeah. Well, that's why I like Duke, right? Because it is like a royal kind of name. And then his middle name is Richard, right? That's my middle name. So Duke and then Richard is also like an old British king. So it's like Duke, Richard. I thought it would be great. But-
He could probably still switch it up. He's not probably... Is he coming to a name yet? Well, not yet, no. That was a joke. Like a dog. Sam, come on in here. And he goes... Right now, he's still... Yeah, he's just not responding. Yeah, he didn't take it to it yet. So we have some wiggle room here. But we have like John Wayne was called the Duke and Dukes of Hazzard. So Duke has taken on more a different tone. Yeah.
I like Sam a lot. Yeah, I'm a big fan. Yeah. Well, this week we're talking about names, the history of names and how they originated. And United States is one of the most lax as far as walls on names. But even in the United States, there's some names you can't give your children. And King and Queen are two of them. Oh, really? Oh, wow. Yeah.
If you scroll down just a little bit, there's some legal baby names in the U.S. Santa Claus. Yeah. At the at sign. Sorry, I didn't realize. I didn't. There's some bad words on this list, too. Yeah.
But the United States is one of the most lax ones. You can't name your son three? You can't name your... I, I, I, I. You can probably name it T-H-R-E-E. Different states have different rules. Most states, you can't name your child a number. In Illinois, you can name your child seven.
Oh, Seinfeld? I think so. Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. Yeah. I don't know if you can do it with a numeral, but you can write it out. S-E-V-E-N. So you can't name your kid, in some states you can't name your kid Jesus Christ, but you can name your kid Jesus. You just can't have Christ in there. I guess so. Oh, interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Yeah. So... Yeah, that's a big part of it. Yeah, it is. Jesus Christ.
That last name. Yeah, the last part's crucial. What about Jesus Christopher? I guess you could. Christ, for sure. You could work around that. If your last name's... You're throwing a lot on that kid. Yes, yes, you are. So different countries have different rules. In Sweden, you can't call your child Metallica. I mean, there has to be these, like, where they go, there was enough people that they go, all right.
Yeah, I'll get more into some crazy rules. So names originated, according to anthropologists, this isn't the biblical account, but according to anthropologists, about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, there started being enough people in the world where farming started taking off and you had different people doing different roles.
So you had to call them by something. Like if you're the picker, you know, you had to give them a name. And up until then. There was no social need for a name up until this, they're saying. According to this. Yeah. Maybe you went, what, did you need a name? You just go, how you doing? Hey, that guy over there needs to, like you would be in a town. But there were never groups where you would need to differentiate names.
You mean like a last name or a first name? First name. See, I would think you have to have a first name. We'll get into that. You have to have a first name to have a last name. Otherwise, it's just a first name. Right, but I mean... You know what I mean? Well, of course, but... Slay! But you got to differentiate people from it. Everybody can't be like, hey, dude, guy, buddy, man. Everybody does. Partner. Yeah. But you would have names. They had names like...
The kings and stuff, they have names forever. Yeah, but I mean, 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, that's a long time ago. Yeah, there were no people back then. So in the United States, at one time, the majority of names were biblical.
And it has gradually decreased over time. Now it's the lowest. The only baby name now for a boy that's popular that's biblical is Noah. Noah is one of the most popular baby names. But, I mean, look at this table. Half of us are biblical.
Yeah. Nathaniel, that's biblical. I don't know if you knew that. And Aaron. Aaron. And Brian, right? Was Brian a biblical name? No. There's no Brian in the Bible, dude. Can you imagine? We wouldn't be where we're at if Jesus had to go, what's your name? Brian? Yeah.
Can you imagine Jesus meeting Brian? Is that one syllable or two? Brian the Apostle. Brian? Brian or Brian? He goes, Brian? Your name's Brian? Yeah, from Lebanon. Dude, how would the book of Brian, if it was in the Bible, just to be a book of...
Maybe just about complaining. And just about how hot it is. And just, you know, a Brian. Yeah, that would be funny. Yeah. Probably wouldn't have made the final cut. It'd be one of those hidden gospels. Yeah, when was the first Brian? Being there with Enoch. Well, most names that... It's like a stock name. They're just like, you know... Most names that we use...
now, that came from Europe, was during the Middle Ages. Where'd your name come from? Well, I was about to get there. So let me just go over. Nate is a biblical name. Nathaniel is one of Jesus' 12 apostles. They think he's the same person as Bartholomew, a name you can't even say. Bartholomew. I can't say it. It means God has given or gift of God, which I feel bad because all these years when you were telling me how you were God's gift to comedy...
I didn't know you were saying that that was based on the Bible. So I feel bad. Church tradition says Nathaniel carried a translation of Matthew's gospel to northern India, and he was crucified upside down in Albania. Brutal. Did not end well. It's a tough end. Upside down. It's just a little extra. Unfair. It really hurts. Yeah.
Aaron. You could have asked for it so he doesn't be like Jesus. Is that what a lot of them did? That's what Peter did, right? Peter did it, yeah. Yeah. Aaron was Moses' brother. Do you know that? I did know that. Spoke for Moses. He did. Moses had a speech impediment. Yeah. Moses wasn't a good speaker, so he asked God to give him his brother Aaron to do the talking. Mm-hmm. Makes sense. It means exalted or strong. Guy that talks for others. That's what your name means. Yeah.
It means exalted or strong. It can also mean teacher or mountain of strength. I'll talk to him. He goes, I'll talk to him. I got it. Yeah, he goes, they don't know the words. Wheelbarrow. Wheelbarrow. Barrow. Yeah. Can you pass me the wheelbarrow? He goes, I'm sorry. And people are like, I don't even know what to give them. They don't even know.
Barrow. He goes, these people. He goes, I'm Moses' brother. Because obviously he's over here. Moses can't get it out. You know, he's like, he's just like. And he goes, Moses. And he goes, hey, Aaron. Can we get a wheelbarrow? I don't know how to even say it. Burrow. Barrow. Barrow.
Dusty means brave warrior. Wow. First became popular in the 1970s, Dusty Springfield, a singer. I had no idea. I assumed that Dusty had no meaning, but I couldn't agree more. Yeah. But it was a name for girls. Dusty Springfield was a woman, and people started naming their daughters Dusty in the 70s. Adam Levine named his daughter Dusty in 2016. It goes either way. Yeah. Well, that's why you have the long hair. Yeah. Yeah.
And then Brian means Devinair or Charming. No, it doesn't. Does it really or no? No. Devinair? Devinair.
Let me guess what Brian means. Does it mean Brian? There's no meaning. There's no meaning. Where's the word Brian come from? It comes from Brian. It just says, you know him when you see him. Yeah, yeah. You just know a Brian. It's an Irish name. It means high or noble. It has two syllables, so it answers that question. That's always been confusing to me. We talked about it on here. Yeah, I know. Did...
Is any name mean anything bad? Like, everybody's name is always, like, high and noble, or it's all these things. If it is, I think it's just because of a story, like in the Bible, like Pilate or... Oh, yeah. The surname Brian can also sometimes be a French surname, which is derived from the old Akatan word meaning maggot. Oh, no. All right, Aaron. That's not good. That's not good. No need to look that up. They go, but don't worry, it's only if it's spelled B-R-A-N.
Well, I was going to say, it says there's more B-R-Y-A-Ns in the U.S. than B-R-I-A-N. Interesting. There you go. You got some stick out. Yeah. Pilots, that's tough. That's a good name. That would have been a good name. Yeah. I bet pilot would be popular. You don't know about any pilots. I don't know a single one. Yeah. A human being named pilot? Mm-hmm. I've never heard of that. Yeah.
um didn't you say pilot i did yeah pilot from the p-i-l-a-t-e yeah oh punches yeah but they usually call them pilot you can't you're some first name basis yeah ponty the p-man p-dog yeah punches was like that sounds like it's backwards yeah pilot i guess that could be a good first name pilot yeah if you have a boy pilot baits yeah
Pilot Slay? Yeah. That would be good. Any name with Slay sounds good. Yeah, I agree. It does. I agree. So junior and senior, there's an etiquette to when you're supposed to use that or the second or the third, things like that. If your name is identical, first, middle, last name, then you're supposed to do junior. Oh, okay. Okay.
If it's a little different or if you were named after your grandfather or uncle, then you're supposed to do the second or the third. If you're not the direct next one in line. Mm-hmm. Okay. So you can skip it and then pick it back up? Yeah. If you were named after your grandfather, you'd still be the second. But you're not junior. And your dad... Correct. Your dad could be whatever. Yeah. And then... Yeah. Oh, well. That feels weird. It does. I like that, though. Like if you did that. I know, but it feels like, I mean, you just took over the... Like the...
The grandfather knew. Yeah, you skipped the dad. But I don't know if this is true. So my brother's the fourth. My dad's the third. But somebody said at one point, it's a function of who's living at the moment. So if like the first two die...
Then my brother's now the second and my dad's the first. Really? Yeah. Legally. Like my brother's a junior now, technically. Yeah. I don't like that. Is that true? I don't like that. Cause it, you know, as you build it up, it seems like now we've come from a long line, but each time they die, we're like back to square one. I've never heard that. I don't like that. Oh, well, who knows? That's just, somebody said that to us once. Well, Aaron and them throw tennis balls at each other. So I take it all with a grain of salt, you know? Yeah.
I don't know if it's legally. Barack Obama's dad was Barack Hussein Obama. Barack Obama should have been Junior, but instead he was the second. Most people don't even know that, but his name is Barack Hussein Obama II, but it should have been Junior. Back when kids often died in birth, a lot of parents renamed their second child the same name. Run it back. They did. Salvador Dali.
Had a brother who died named Salvador. Beethoven. Had a brother, Ludwin Van Gogh. That's when you just love the name. You're like, no, no, this name sticks. At what point do you go, let's try a different name? Maybe the third time. Yeah. Second time worked really well for these. I mean, it worked unbelievable. And George Foreman just doesn't care. He mixes all up. He has five sons named George. Wow. George Jr., George VI. Yeah.
Do you know that? No. That's crazy. All his kids are named, boys are named George. How does he identify them? Do you know? Think about sounds. He says it a little differently for each one. No, he goes like, one comes to that. The other one, and the other, that's like the second one. That's what he calls them. Yeah. I mean, I think he calls them like George Jr. is the first and the third. I think he just does whatever. Native Americans wait and see the child and then something maybe that happened to them
is how they earn their name. And their names change over time. That's what I wanted to do. Change it. I wanted to give it some time. Yeah. You could have. I did wait a little bit. I waited until it was born. So often, it's the first thing the mother sees after the child's born. That's how they have their first name. But then if they do something, accomplish something in life, it can change the name.
So the name dancing wind sounds beautiful, but that really means, uh, it's an image of a tornado means they're volatile or have an angry disposition. Uh, and you don't mess with a dancing wind. Yeah. And you think you'd be like, Oh, brought home the dance. Imagine a girl's name. I don't know. But, uh,
You go, me and my girlfriend dancing wind. It's like, you better get out. You go, just a guy, like a guy that's not Native American has no idea. A Brian. The red flags are in the name. A Brian brings home, her name's Dancing Wind. She's real fun. And you're like, she's about to rip this house apart, dude. The name bear is common in Native Americans like John is for us. But if you're named Wounded Bear, that means you're suffering. You've got something going on in your life.
They're wounded. Yeah, but would they call you just bear? Not necessarily physical. I think a lot of them had wounded bear or I can't think of another example. Yeah. I guess, I don't know if it was just bear. Little bear. It'd also be in a different language that would sound better than wounded. Wounded. Wounded bear. But their tradition is to inspire individuals to strive to be better or to heal or to evolve. And then you earn a more prestigious name. Oh, so then you would change it to like, you know, hill bear. Yeah.
Or Big Bear. Big Bear, Mountain Bear. Yeah. Brave Bear. Dancing Bear. So like some of these names from these famous names, Sitting Bull actually means slow. He was slow and he never made it past that? I guess not. That guy was like the real deal, right? Well, he was famous for, I guess, a fight with American settlers. Yeah. The Battle of Little Bighorn. Yeah, that was a big fight. Standing Rock. That's where he died.
1890. Sitting Bull died at Standing Rock. How about that? Geronimo means the one who yawns. I wonder if he was like, I wonder if he was like, I don't like this. They go, where are we fighting? He goes, Standing Rock. He goes, what? He goes, my name is Sitting Bull. Why don't we go, just go to something else? He goes, I don't like. They go, what? It's just where the fight's going to be. Standing Rock. He goes, I know, but it's like so close. All right.
All right. He goes, I'll get over. I'll be over there in a couple of days. Slow. He goes, all right. He's all, every time he talked to him, it's like, he's getting up. Yeah. All right. I'll get to it. Yeah. I'm coming. And then, uh, and around the middle ages, this is when surnames became a thing. Do you know what surname is? Um, your first name. Last name. Boom.
Very close. Yeah. There became so many people that they had to start giving you a second name because there were too many Johns or whatever. So last names are basically based off of four groups, either your father, where you live, your occupation, or a nickname. So I'll give an example of each. Do you know some? Your father, Johnson.
That's a very popular name. Oh, Johnson. You would be John's son or Robin's son or Richard's son. Or in your case, you would be Nate Stevenson. Oh, yeah. So Anderson, we get it. Mack, if the Mack's in front of it, like McDonald or McGregor. Mack means son of. Fitz means son of. So Fitzgerald, Fitzsimmons. That means you were the son of those people. O means like O'Neill. O'Brien means grandson of. And occasionally a woman. Madison means son.
Matty's son. Matty's son, yeah. But they do that to be like, we got too many Johns. All right, John Johnson. Let's go. What's next? Your John's son too? Yeah. John Johnson. And then they just give everybody the exact same names again. Yeah, and eventually, I mean, because that would just keep – your last name would be changing every time. Eventually, they're just like, no, we just got to come up with a last name and keep it for tax purposes and things like that.
Imagine picking your own last night. But it changes over time. Our names were spelled with a P at one point. P-A-R-G. Paragetzi? Yeah. Paragetzi, I think. Z-I. It's been spelled a few different ways. Okay. And you just stuck with this one. I mean, that's the one we're at now. Could change, though. Could change. Harper could take it a different direction. She could do her own thing.
Well, I mean, she's... But I mean, if she gets married, then she won't have the name. She'll keep it. She'll keep her. It'll be up to her. I'm going to have her keep it. By then, it might be doing that. That'd be nice. I mean, she changed my name to Bob Ripple Pants. Yeah. Location last names would be like Underwood, Hill...
Or sometimes just the town, like your last name's York, just where you live. That sounds like a way to insult people. That's Brian Underbridge over there. Yeah, you're like, oh, maybe that's that family. Tim, other side of the track. What? That's a weird last name. Occupation last names would be like Baker.
Smith. Smith is the biggest one, right? Smith is the biggest one. So if you're a blacksmith, blacksmith, iron Smith, there's a lot of Smiths back then. Yeah. You're any Smith. You know, that's where that came from. Miller farmer, shepherd, shoemaker. Wow. That one's pretty on the nose, huh? Yeah. What'd you do? It's in the name, buddy. You're not, you're not good enough to be a cobbler. They just call you a shoemaker. I'm a maker of shoes. He's a joke maker.
And then nicknames is a description of that person. So Long, Short, Martin Short, Rich Little, Stern, if you're Stern, Howard Stern, Doolittle. It's not a good one, but we know Doolittle. Or if you're Black, White, Green, Blue, those are some description of you. Usually your hair color, not your skin color. But obviously green or blue might be your eye color.
So if your last name's that, it's because somebody in your ancestors, there were two Johns, and one of them was John Black, and one of them was John White. You think Red would be a more common name, then? Yeah, I don't know if I, is there a Blue? Is the last name Blue? My cousin, I got a cousin that named him. Oh, yeah. Yeah, married a guy last name Blue. Vida Blue was a baseball player. Rest in peace. There's, who, there's Green. Green's a common name. Yeah. Seth Green. Mo Green. Yeah.
And then let's see. Mean Joe Green. Yeah. Is there a red or no? I don't know. No one had an eye color red. But people had hair color red, right? Yeah. Maroon. I know some reds, but it's with two Ds. Oh, yeah. Chris Redd. Chris Redd, sure. That's true. Red. Yeah. Gold, too. Is that probably where gold comes from? Golden? I guess so. Maybe the hair color? Yeah. Wow. And then orange? Yeah.
It wasn't until recently that orange and red were different colors.
I think, did we talk about this on the podcast once? I don't remember this. This is why, because I wondered why people with orange hair were called redheads. So it wasn't until recently that we had different terms for red and orange. They were just kind of all lumped into one color. Okay. And then the fruit was actually named first, orange. And then they started calling that color orange. Wow. But it was all lumped into red.
So we were already down the name path probably before orange. Yeah, yeah. It really came around. Purple. Now there are some biblical characters that meet all these descriptions, at least in the New Testament. Jesus was often called Jesus of Nazareth because Jesus was a very common name in his time. Yeshua, right? Joshua? Wasn't that his name? Yeshua. Yeah.
Mary Magdalene. There's a ton of Marys in the Bible. Mary Magdalene, that's where she lived. Judas Iscariot, he lived there. Then there was Simon the leper and Simon the tanner. One's a job, one's a condition. Yeah.
That's a bad name to stick with, Simon the leper. Yeah, lepers. But you get over leprosy, like you get cured. You're still just called the leper. Yeah, I mean, he's in the Bible forever. Jesus went to his house and hung out with Simon the leper. John the Baptist, he baptized people. So that's a way to distinguish the difference. Let's go Brian arthritis. Brian the arthritis. Yeah.
The jerk store called Nate. Yeah, and they're running out of you. Yeah. So I looked at our names. I would have made fun of myself there, but I actually have a joke of him. So I had to switch it over to you. That's the reason for the 154 episodes? Well, that specific one was, I have a new idea. You have a bit in your act about it, yeah. Yeah, but it's not, it wouldn't have been, it's not that. It's somewhat, and I just couldn't make it about me because I got to protect the act. So I took care of, you know.
Went closest. So I looked at our names and kind of where they originated from, although you've already shot yours down if it was originally a P. No, I don't know. I mean, they're all variations because most names you think of, you couldn't see how they would fit any of those characters. And Bates, I still don't really know. But a Weaver is another popular last name.
based on occupation if you were a weaver back at the time, but in German, they called it Weber. Right. And we talked about this a few episodes ago, how it changed, but your ancestors were probably weavers of some sort. Basket weavers, yeah, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Making a few wheelbarrows, maybe, I don't know.
Oh, that's why maybe you say it. Yeah. Yeah. Because you would, you have to. It's a family trade. Yeah. And it had basket type wheelbarrows. Yeah. I mean, you saw that basket with the tennis balls. Yes. Very good basket. Weird. That's what we do. This is what you like weaving. It's what the weavers do. Yeah. That's cool. We put baskets together. Mm-hmm.
And then slay was an implement used in weaving to push the thread through. So your ancestors probably worked with, used to work for, I don't know. We'll see. Yeah. You know, also slay means to kill. So we probably got frustrated with the weavers once in a while. Yeah. Well, that's why you split up. Yeah. And you went down the, you know, if you look at where you're both at now,
It's like perfect sense where it goes. Your family went down to questioning a lot of things. Yeah. Not trusting the kingdom that you were under. Yeah. And then your family bought into it and it's the end of Notre Dame. Yeah. Big business. You're both. It makes complete sense. Yeah. That when you look now to go, yeah, you're barely hanging on and obviously thriving. Yeah. Yeah.
You know, that's how I would say it. You have copper under the ground. Obviously, he flew a helicopter today. The old spellings that I've seen as they go back into England, they would spell it S-L-E-I-G-H. Yeah. As you go back. Like a sleigh. Yeah, like Santa Claus. Yeah. And you couldn't name your kid Santa Claus. It's illegal. And maybe the sleigh was made out of...
basket weaving material. I wonder, so you slay, because maybe you do come from money.
And then, you know, somewhere along the line, it went another route. Yeah, I mean. And then once y'all ended up. Maybe the Webbers and the Slays were partners. There's a chance. You know. And so, and yours was spelled S-L-E-I-G-H, like a Slay, which I would be like, wow, that's something that's fancy. Yeah. So the Slay family goes. Something goes wrong, probably with the Weaver family, the Webber family. Probably like something happens. Probably shorted us some money. Slays go, yeah. Slays go down a path, end up kind of trailers.
And they go, and then when you're in the trailer, you go, well, we can't be, you look ridiculous to be like, you know, the president's probably named slay with E I J. And you're like, we gotta, we look stupid. So they go, let's just say a Y. Yeah. And then the band Slayer was out. So you saw that. I imagine this is around that time. Yeah. And then, yeah. And then you go a Y and then here we are now, but now we're on the grind. We are the slay family. Right. Your head,
back up. You're still writing your family story. No, it's going back up, but you're not going to know about it. It's going to be off the grid. That's where they made the mistake. We pulled into the mainstream. Well, until you posted your address for all the world to see. That's a hiccup. That's not the real address. That's where we spend some time. They don't know. We don't live there. I like it. Building back up. And then Bargatze is a
a location name meaning by the town gate or the keeper of the bar gate. I did know that. The gatekeeper. Yeah.
The gate. Am I the gatekeeper? Yeah, or I'm not sure what a bar gate is, but maybe they had a gate to go to the bar. You're a bouncer. You keep it. Yeah, you're a bouncer. Yeah, I stand there and they go, you're not allowed in. I like that. Like a defensive man. Like a defensive man. Yeah. I am. Yeah. Yeah, so I was a defensive man. This trophy should be named after me. Yeah, you're like, in fact, my family is known for defending things. That's one of our main things was just going, you're not allowed in the town. Yeah. Who's the bar gate?
What was it? The bar gate and the... Keeper of the gate. Keeper of the gate. Yeah. Keeper of the bar gate. Or someone who lived by the town gate. Yeah. I was just right there by the town gate. He could have just been a poor beggar. Just a homeless guy outside of a bar. Yeah. Yeah. I'd imagine the nice houses weren't by the gate of the town. I think about Frank Costanza when he went to Tuscany. Yeah. He was an eccentric fellow. Yeah. Some people call him the village idiot. Yeah. And you're like, I still think we're related. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I think it would be like, I mean, every doorbell, knock on the gate, my family's got to get up. Hello. And we got to meet them. Yeah. Well, what about Bates? Bates was the hardest one to find really any origination from. One thing I read said it originated from the name Bartholomew. So you say it was related. Yeah. But I really couldn't find much.
My name was just boring top to bottom. Now, do you know anything about your family history going back a long time? I mean, I know Bates originated from Ireland, Scotland. Okay. But beyond that,
Did anyone in your family have an identity with like being Irish or Scottish? No. You didn't care about it at all? Nate's joked that my family's lived in Lebanon since the beginning. Before Lebanon was made, dude, he was born, wherever his family started was Lebanon. I did Ancestry.com and it just stayed in Lebanon the whole time. It never, you know, it never goes off. Every now and again, it gets on the one side of 109 and then it goes right back to the other side. West Wilson County for supplies. They go, oh, we got a little movement here. We got a guy.
You're near the Davidson County border. I popped up in Dixon for a couple days. Whoa. He goes, what happened here? Even I started in Donaldson and just kind of worked my way west. Did my toe in Davidson County. Yeah. So in Iceland, they don't really have traditional last names. If you have a boy, it's going to be your dad's first name with son on the end.
If it's a girl, it's going to be your dad's first name with daughter on the end. D-O-T-T-I-R. So everyone's last name ends in son or daughter. Oh, Juergen's son. Yeah. Wow. Juergen Daughter. Yeah. What are some examples of those names, though, with a daughter name? We're all familiar with son. Bill Tom Daughter. Well, like the example...
They gave this guy's name's Egil. And he named his daughter Helga. So her name's Helga Egildottir. Helga Egildottir. That's just an example. That's fun. Isn't there a famous singer from Iceland? Bjork? Yeah. See what her real last name is. Oh, it's a girl? I think it's... Yeah. Oh, yeah. There it is. Oh, yeah. Gwonsindottir.
Oh, geez. Yeah. Well, okay. We lost it. It was like Bjork Wompson. Is that where you go read the name there? You don't look at the very top? We look at just the breakdown on the right. Okay, but when you go to Wikipedia, the name in bold at the top.
I think I kind of lost it in the shuffle. There's a lot going on in that first sentence. But it's dark. It's very dark. It's bolded. Yeah, it's bolded. Yeah. It's dark. So I thought we were looking there. You could go to that. My instinct is to just let's cut to the chase. Let's hop over to the right. That's got a breakdown of all the important information. It's got the date of birth. We're just doing her name. Yeah, but I thought we might. We're going to riff on it a little bit, right? I think we might. We might, but I think we...
When we said the name. I mean, this first sentence on here, this looks like how normal sentences look to you, I think. Just a mess. Different symbols. They do. BJ3. And you're like, well, what's that? What, you threw a number in there? There is a three in there. There is. Why would you put a three in? But her last name is Guamond Sedotra.
That's pretty cool. I didn't know that. So they already know who her dad is. Gwamond. Yeah. And she's, yeah, spouse is Eldon, but then also it seems like she was with Matthew Barney for a while. And so that's tough. Yeah. You know, it's like, oh, this is my...
wife Bjork and his dad is Gunnar yeah Gundersson yeah dad's name is Gwamundur Gunnarsson Gunnarsson his name is Gunnar Gunnardortir he was a leader of the Icelandic electricians union alright oh wow her grandfather's name is Gunnar right yeah we can just keep going you can just go all the way back yeah that's fun
Yeah, so in Iceland, they have a naming committee. You can't just name your child whatever. You've got to go through this naming committee. There's a lot of stuff to keep track of, man. Look at this word. Look at that.
What is going on with that, dude? Shuffston D. Corkery, man. It's the weird A-E letter there. They just start mushing letters together because the words are too long. Get a little O with a cross on it at the top. Yeah, I've never seen that in my life. They go, push these A's and E's in. This word's getting a little long. S-J-A-L-F-S-T. But it's not just an A. It's an A with an accent on it. Oh. A-U-F-T.
S-J-A-O. What happens when you click on that? A-F. I'm scared to. Yeah. Probably a virus. Oh, it's an independent party. It's the independence party in Iceland. And they're like, why are we not taking off? You're like, I got an idea. Maybe because we got a niner in there. That name is wild. Crazy language.
In Iceland, you can't name your child something with the letter C because there is no C in their alphabet. Oh. That's why they have to spell these words so crazily because they're trying to get around not using a C. Even though they're called Iceland, but they spell it like we do island. Oh. They put an S in there. Yeah. Do you want to just go? You just go, just put the C. You know what we're doing. I guess it's their thing. There's not a lot of ice there either, is there? No, it's beautiful.
Yeah, it was like Greenland is like a lot of ice. Yeah. I always heard that. But I always heard, yeah, I just heard that. That could not be true. So they have the- I've been to Greenland. There was a lot. It was dark the whole time. Yeah? Not a lot of green. It was all ice, but it was completely dark because it was the whole time I was there, 24 hours. Wow. Couldn't see anything. You walked around, you had to watch out for polar bears because they're walking around at night. Wow. Mm-hmm.
Did you do shows there? Mm-hmm. How'd they go? It was good. It was like a base up there. Oh, okay. And then it's a very important base. Like, they're your first line of defense of, like, if there's a nuclear attack or something like that. Like, the first thing that... From Russia? Because it's kind of between us and Russia, right? You know, it is where it is, man. Yeah.
But if you look at it right here, here's Russia. Yeah. Here's the United States. Yeah. It's kind of between Canada and Russia here. Yeah. At the Arctic. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. And it's... It's all daylight there right now. Yeah, but it's like, there's a thing. So my joke to them, I was like, you're like kind of green, and I'm like, well, losers, they got up here. And you're like, that's the most important people. And you're like, oh, okay. Sorry. And that was fun.
So, yeah, so they have a naming committee in Iceland. They have basically three rules. The name cannot cause harm or any trouble or harm to the child. An example is if you want to name your kid Satan,
You can't do it. That's a good call. I feel like what if your name rhymes with something, you know, that you can get bullied with? You should include that as well? I mean, if it's going to cause harm to the kid, where do you draw the line? I think Satan's a good place. Yeah. Well, yeah, I'm not saying I object to that. That's a good line to draw. Yeah. I'm okay with that. Yeah. Second rule is boys must be named boy names and girls must be named girl names. You got to be able to tell the gender by its name.
If they want to name their daughter Alex, you can't do it. Or Taylor. In Iceland. Or Jesse. Or any of those. I guess so. And then the third one I already mentioned, the name must follow Icelandic grammar rules and alliteration. So if you want to name your daughter Camilla, you'd have to do it with a K because there is no C in there. This is making a lot of sense. You're on board with it, aren't you? Yeah, I mean, it makes a lot of sense. Like, let's keep it clear. Yeah. Clear with a K. Okay.
And you have six months to name your child there. After that, you're fined for not registering your name. Because it's a big process. You've got to go through this naming committee and they have to approve it. In Norway and Denmark, you're required to pick from an approved list of names. Failure to get prior approval for unlisted name results in fines and the child's name will be forcibly changed later. This is the kind of fun stuff you can do when there's 500 people in your country. You know what I mean?
When you don't have a real country, you can do fun stuff like this. Yikes. Wow. I'm trying to spice it up. Charlie gets the conversation rolling. I'm just saying you can't implement something like this in the United States. It'd be tough. How many people live in Iceland? Oh, man. 30, 40? Less than a million? It would be tough to do, that's for sure. In America, to be like, I mean, we got a lot of names here. We got some wild names. Iceland population is...
370,000. I mean, it's less than Nashville. So yeah, you can have a fun naming committee. You can do stuff like that. I'm not saying it's wrong. No, it's good. You can't scale this. I like that they're doing it. Yeah. You can't scale this. Especially, I like if you're that small of a place that you're keeping that kind of like identity of your own. Yeah, you need to. I like that. You'll get swept up and forgotten. Yeah, yeah, yeah. France, the same thing. France, got to be a boy's name.
Girl's name has got to be clear. A woman tried to name her daughter Liam. Liam? Mm-hmm. Oh, daughter. Oh, yeah. Yeah. In Portugal, you can't name your child Tomas or anything like that. It's got to be because you can't shorten it. Or you can name your child Tomas, but you can't call him Tom. You've got to go by the name. So you'd have to be Nathaniel. They've banned shortening versions of names. But you can still call him Tom. Tom.
Yeah, I guess you just can't. But like we were talking about Hank and Henry. You have to name your kid Henry and not Hank. Oh, yeah. Even though it's not that much shorter. Yeah. Not really the same name either. No, it's one of those weird ones. Yeah. Bob and Robert. That always got to me. Yeah. Where's the B come from? Right. From Robert. Robert.
Yeah, but Robert starts with an R, dude. But there's a B in there. Don't challenge me on this. There is another B, but there's two Bs in Bob. There's no Bob. Yeah, they had to get it from somewhere else. They barred it. Yeah, like Bob is short for Bobby. Bob is short for Robert. But it shouldn't be, though. That's what I'm saying. It's short for Bob. Oh, okay. Bert is short for Robert. Yeah. Or Albert. Or Rob. Oh, yeah. I wonder if that got confused. Bert Kreischer's name is Albert. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I read somewhere. That's a different person though, man. Robert and Albert are two different people. Albert Crasher wears a shirt. And Bert's different. Well, I know, but like. He wears two shirts. Yeah. Yeah. Ripley's Believe It or Not said the first last name ever was Katz, like Louis Katz. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah.
K-A-T-Z? Yeah. I guess that's a rabbi's name or something like that in Jewish custom. So they say that was the first surname ever. In the United States, you don't have to name your child right away. You got to have it on birth certificate. But if you don't know when you're leaving the hospital, they'll just write baby boy or baby girl. And it says a lot of hospitals will threaten you by saying you've got to have this before you can leave the hospital. But that's not true.
And some parents wait a while to even name their child. I don't know if you guys are familiar with the Olympic skier Peekaboo Street. No one? They took some time on that one, huh? That seems like they had a gun to their head. Well, I remember she was an Olympic skier back in, what, 98 Olympics. Yeah. And she was originally named Baby Girl.
And then about when she was six months old, she liked to play peekaboo. That's obvious. But they also went to a Mexico vacation and the place was called Peekaboo. So they named her Peekaboo Street. All right. Peekaboo. Good thing they took time with that one. Yeah. Yeah, maybe that's like almost the lesson is don't, you don't actually, don't take too much. Don't overthink it. Don't overthink it, yeah. Yeah. But, you know, it's a different name.
Many Spanish-speaking countries have two last names. I bet if you name that Peek-A-Boost, like look at where she ended up.
I wonder if that stuff like does make, you're just different. You're just cause your name's different. So you got to come at everything with like a little more. It's like. My name's Peekaboo. Oh, is it? Like you're just going to. It's like Boy Named Sue. Yeah. It's the whole premise of that song. Oh really? Yeah. You know that song? The Johnny Cash song? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what, I don't know the words on it. He's named Sue and he's a boy. Yeah. He's mad his whole life. And then at the end, he finally, he's trying to find his father who named him this to get back at him.
And then he meets his father and his father says, I gave you this name so that you would grow up to be tough because you'd have to fight and defend yourself. Because I'm going to abandon you. Yeah. I'll be gone. So he's like, thanks. Well, at the end, he said, if I ever have a boy, I'm going to name him Frank. Frank or George. Anything but Sue. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Spanish countries often have two surnames, your father's last name and then your mother's last name. And then when you get married...
uh you keep your uh if it's a woman you keep your uh father's surname and then your husband's last name like angela johnson reyes yeah um oh okay i didn't know that yeah well that's why we're here and for you to learn something i learned a lot man yeah i didn't know this in greece um if a man like yannis do you have two daughters yeah um
So depending on if it's a male or female, different last names. So it would be Papas would be his child's name if it was a boy. But if it was a girl, it would be Papaloo. Hmm.
Where's the Lu come from? Just, I don't know. You know how like Spanish L or La, depending on masculine or feminine? Well, they have kind of similar, they changed the ending of the name based on masculine or feminine. Oh, interesting. All right. Yeah, I'm starting to check out a little bit. I just think the audience might be. Okay. It's not your fault. Thank you.
Thank you. That last one, I was kind of... I thought you might be interested because you have a friend whose daughter... I did. I think I've just hit a time limit where I'm zoned out. All right. No, but I'm back in it now. All right. So the most common last name in the world? Anybody know? Simpson. Simpson? Mohammed. Ben Bazir. Oh, I want to say it's Mohammed. Mohammed's the most common first name. Last name? Patel. Is it Patel? Let's go Patel. It's a good guess. It must be a Chinese name. Park? Park.
Ooh. Lee. Like L-I? That's good. Wang. Wow. I think all of y'all just got canceled. Where's Patel? The way y'all were going at everything, none of that was good. And then the real answer was not good coming out of that accent. No, it's Wang. There's a lot of Wangs out there, boys. I better zone out because next week I'll be alone.
I guess when the Chinese dynasty fell, I say I guess, like I just, this is what I said. I read this. In 206 BC, many families adopted the last name Wang to hide their true identities to avoid being assassinated by the rulers of China. Okay. So that's why there's- You don't have a, Patel must rank very high. Patel's got to be up there. I'm sure it's up there, but yeah, I don't have it. Devanchi Patel. The most common- She's a comic we started together. She's a writer now. Oh, okay.
The most common first name in the world is Maria. I believe that. Mary Maria. Most common first name in America. James. Yes. Oh, really? Is it James? Yeah. Wow. Jim. I would think John. John was third. Second, Bill. William. Robert. Robert. Oh. Snuck in there. Robertson County. Mm-hmm. Yep. That's right. Good job. Davidson. He's back, baby. Davidson. He's back, baby. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's do another hour. So there's two Major League Baseball teams that allow names on the back of their jerseys as of 2023. I think this changes some. There's only two that don't allow? No, no, no. I'm sorry. Maybe not allow, that do not allow. Yeah. I'm sorry. Red Sox and Yankees. Correct. Yeah. There's three college football teams. Notre Dame's one of them. The Navy. The Navy.
I don't think so. Okay. I can't think of the other. I think it changes some. Penn State and USC. Oh, I can see that. But Notre Dame allows... For the bowl games. For the bowl games. They put the names on it. So...
That's who you guys root for. For Nate and I, we have our own problems. During Derrick Mason's very first football game as coach at Vanderbilt, they played Temple on ESPN, and they put the name Acre down on the back of their jersey. It didn't get NCAA approval, so they got penalized one time out per quarter because it was a jersey that wasn't official. Do you remember this? And then we got beat 37-7. Yeah, we got trapped. Yeah.
It was not a – Well, Temple was good that year, right? Weren't they? No. I was just trying to cut it off. Temple was better than they were. But it just started off. Like, it just was not a good start. And then it was – like, Mason had trouble, obviously, from that get-go. I mean, we just get boned. But we're like, all right, we're going to start with a win. We love it. And then just – and, like, not even barely lose, just get – it wasn't a game. Yeah. I might have been at that game. I don't know. I remember watching it.
I was at it. Yeah. Yeah, I think you were still in New York at the time, right? Yeah. Maybe. Because there was a long weather delay. Yeah. It was a terrible, terrible start. But in fairness to Vanderbilt, they did provide an email that showed that NCAA approved it. So I think they got their timeouts back. After the game. Yeah. After the game was over. Oh, that's helpful. Yeah. They go, the next game, they go, y'all can use whatever timeouts you want. We get two extra timeouts? They go, yeah, yeah.
The most famous name on an XFL jersey? He Hate Me. He Hate Me. She Hate Me. I went to Western Kentucky with him. He Hate Me. I thought it was She Hate Me. No, it's He Hate Me. He Hate Me. Have I talked about him before? You have. He meant the team he's playing, their opponents are going to hate him because he's going to dominate. Played at Western Kentucky. By semester, I was there. He went by that then? No, he went by his real name. He was a big star football player. She Hate Me.
That's where you got that from. It's pretty good. Everybody still knows it. I mean, it's probably, it goes XFL and then He Hate Me are literally probably the two things. I mean, they rock now. Yeah. But it's like, that's how. It was like the first game. It was televised. Everybody was curious to see what would happen. And he's out there. And then after that, ratings dropped. And it, you know, it was gone soon.
And then I'll end on, there was a Harvard study about names and do they matter. And depending on your profession, depending on your name, supposedly your profession will change. If you have certain common names, you'll be more likely to be a doctor. Or if it's an unusual name, you'll be more likely to be a garbage man. And if we share the initial with the name of a hurricane, we'll be more likely to donate to the relief fund.
It's called implicit egotism effect. We're generally drawn to the things that people that most resemble us because we have value, our own names and initials. We prefer things that have something in common with us. I really dodged a bullet. But my initials are DRS. It seems very doctor oriented. Yeah.
Yeah, no one's going to let a Dusty cut him up. That's true. That is true. I would have to be... Dr. Dusty. Dustin. You'd have to be Dustin. And Dr. Slay doesn't sound too good either. It's not good.
Yeah. Who's my guy? Dusty Slay. Dr. Slay. A butcher, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, well, I'd like him to bring his license in. Yeah. His doctor license. His doctor got paperwork. You would have to show all your stuff. Credentials. I'd have to roll around with the credentials. Yeah. Just have them. Here they are. Here's my medical degree. Yeah. You'd spend most of your life proving who you are. Yeah. All right. All right. That's it. I don't know. I think we're here next week, so I'll be here next week. I'm kind of off right now.
Australia coming out there. So go check that out. And then all of September, go to Alaska State Fair. Pumped about that. Nice. And then a bunch of other dates, September. I'm off this weekend, but this coming Tuesday, I'm throwing out the first pitch to the Nashville Sounds game. This is it. All right. I've been training 16, 18 hours a day. Look at those arms. I'm going to be there.
Actually, I've yet to throw a baseball in years, but I'm going to try this week. You better get on it. Don't mess this up. All right. Yeah. All right. I told you. Do you have a glove? Yeah. Do you have your glove with you? Mm-hmm. Okay. I got a ball and a glove in the car. All right. I'm going to go throw after this. All right. Warm up a little bit. All right. Bristol, Tennessee, the birthplace of country music. I will be at the Blue Ridge Comedy Club July 7th and 8th.
Come on out. All right. I'm still off, you know, tending to the baby. Could be working. Starting July 14th and 15th, I'll be at the Albany Funny Bone, and then I'm back. I mean, every week after that, it is go time. So...
Yeah. You could work right now if you wanted to. I could work right now. Right now. Right now. It's not like you're choosing not to work. They're not choosing for you. Matter of fact, I had to cancel a gig. I kept one on the calendar for Oregon. I was going to go do a festival out there, and then the baby came, and it was just like, it was too much, so I had to cancel it. But just to let people know. Also, let the baby know, your dad works. Yeah, I'm a worker, and the second half of the year is going to be hot. Yeah, yeah. It is going to be hot. Yeah. Get ready. All right.
All right. Have a great... It's not 4th of July. It will be, though. It will be. Are we going to be here? Next week, we're doing the best of. All right. We're doing the best of next week. We've got a lot of new fans lately, and they always ask, what's a good episode to watch to kind of get a feel? And this is going to be the best of the first three years of Nate Land. So this is a good one to watch just to learn about all the inside jokes and fun moments. Love it. All right.
