Today's episode of the Nate Land podcast is brought to you by Electric E-Bikes, Rocket Money, AG1, and Butcher Box. Hello, folks, and hey, bear. Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Bargetzi, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slick. All right. All right. We're here. We're doing it. Welcome. Welcome.

You know, just kind of random thought, but can you all drive a stick shift? I've never had to, no. No? You can. I haven't done it in a long time, but I had two cars that were stick shifts. Oh, yeah. Well, I haven't in a long time either, but I think I can still do it. Yeah, I have a Bronco that's a stick shift. But I was thinking about it because it's like people can't steal it.

It's a car that can't get stolen really anymore because no one can really drive it. You could figure it out, right? Watch a couple YouTube videos. It's pretty tough, dude. I mean, I remember when I... Yeah, you could go ask my mom and dad how easy it is to teach a kid to drive a stick shift. I remember we were learning at Temple Baptist Church in the parking lot. We'd go up there and that's where I learned to drive a stick shift. And I mean, it's just... And like we... It's like...

Well, I was like, I gotta get out of the car. Like, I can't even. Is it more fun to drive than an automatic? It's the best. Really? It's the best. I mean, now...

You're driving it now differently because they don't really do them anymore. Back when I had it, it was my everyday car. I mean, my first two cars were stick shifts. I had a Bronco too that was a stick shift. Yeah, I mean, it was raggedy, but it is fun. You feel like a real truck driver, you know? Yeah. But when you're in traffic and you're going to – it is. Look, when you're driving –

just every day in like traffic with a stick shift. It's not, it gets old quick, but to drive around, you know, it's been so long. It's like super fun. I went on a date long, not long after I got my first, when I was like, I don't know. Yeah. It's probably the only stick shift for around. Yeah. Yeah.

mix of horses and stick shift. It was a long time ago, that's for sure. And I just started driving stick shift. I was struggling. And the girl, it was our first date, and she goes, she just looks at her and she goes, find it till you grind it. No, grind it till you find it. Kind of blew that. But anyway, it was kind of funny. Do you think she remembers saying that? Uh,

Probably not. I like your memory, though. If she's saying it, it sounds like a girl who probably still says it. Yeah. Grind it till you find it. I told this boy on a date. When was this? No.

92. When I was learning to drive a stick shift, my dad yelled at me so much in the car. I vowed to never drive with him again. I mean, he yelled at me every time the car would stall. I was like... And then I got so nervous that I had my stepmom... We just did back roads and we just start and stop, start and stop, start and stop. It's frustrating. Yeah. I mean, it's...

But my parents, I remember doing it and it was like, they just had to get out of the car. Like it's, it's just, he goes, just, they switch and they go, I can't do this today. You have to, you can't have a short fuse. Cause you, I mean, cause it's just an exhausting thing to constantly and just get like, just constantly stopping. Oh yeah. And my dad doesn't even have a fuse. I mean, he's already there. Yeah. And he's ready. Yeah. So.

I think it's funny you think about car thieves YouTube and how to steal it. Maybe. I don't think they would waste their time. They just go, all right, it's not worth it.

I don't know if it's a nice car. I mean, then you're getting into like gone in 60 seconds professional, like, you know, fast and furious people. I'm talking about where your car is going to get stolen at a parking lot or at something like that. I don't think they can do it. I mean, I don't think they even know what they probably look like almost. They're not making them. It's not an easy thing to do.

Let do anymore. Let's do a video with you learning to drive a stick shift. Okay. I think my frustration, I don't know if I could do it. I'd want to see how long I could handle it before I'd be like, what being in the car with me trying to do it. Just a couple of pops of the, and then you're like, all right, I think you'll be surprised, dude. I have a real intuition for this stuff. Yeah.

Just a real natural born driver. Remote control. You can work in remote control. I did grow up on video games in a way that you guys never have. You know, where you have to... I've driven manually in video games. With a clutch? With a clutch, yeah. Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm.

Now, it's pretty low stakes. Maybe it's not as hard as I think it is. I think it is. No, it would be. I was kidding. It would be a disaster, me trying to drive. Henry Cho says he got his kids stick shift so they couldn't be on their phone while they're driving. Oh, yeah. That's smart. And he got them diesel so they couldn't sneak out. Yeah. That's the joke. That's funny. Yeah, it's learning how to drive. Sticks are very fun.

Yeah, but it is a lost. I mean, I guess there's no reason for them to even have sticks anymore. Can you switch to manual in that car you just got? It's just only. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. I had a four-door Saturn with no power steering. Automatic. Yeah.

Yeah, it was great. Yeah. It was hard to drive. Yeah. I was pretty, my arms were pretty jacked from driving a car with no power steering. Oh, yeah. It was good. Yeah, no power steering was crazy. Yeah. That with the stick shift, because you would need both your hands to turn. You're pretty strong, though. Yeah.

Yeah, I would figure it out, too. I think I remember power steering really coming into a... It was like, oh, I got power steering. Now you don't even ask if it has power steering. I don't even know if I know what it feels like to not have power steering. Driving an old car, I mean, it's just... There was no reason for the car that I had to not have it. It just was the cheapest kind of model. Yeah. I mean, it should have had it.

Yeah, mine was an 85. I did a mission trip in Australia, and they drive on the other side of the road. The steering wheel's on the other side, and I drove a church van there where the stick was on. Oh, really? Oh, but you're left-handed. Yeah, but I'm still used to driving. I don't know. So was the clutch on the right? Or the pedals are the same? I think the pedals were the same. Oh.

Everything else was opposite. Yeah. That'd be tough. How old were you at the time? I mean, I was adult. Okay. Yeah. Still. Everything's adult. Brian was born an adult. Well, Australia was founded when I was in high school. He's lived a life. Yeah. Do you have any videos of you as a kid?

Again, video cameras. Yeah. I'd love to see a video of you as a kid. I think there's drawings. Sketch art on a cave wall. I think if you get his picture out and flick it enough, it looks like he's... You're like, oh, look at him. Now, I remember when video cameras became a thing. I was already grown, but I have a joke about this. We would just literally go around filming ourselves. No...

Doing nothing, just walking around. Then we immediately hook it up to our TV and watch ourselves. Yeah. What we just did. Oh, yeah. I remember that. Yeah, that's us. Yeah, you're on TV. Yeah. It's amazing. Well, nobody just leaves a camera running now.

I was thinking about that because some of my childhood videos, you know, it's like you turn on the camera and you're like, let's just record for an hour. You're walking around. Nobody does that anymore. Everyone self edits. You get like a video right there and then you stop. Nobody just leaves one running continuously. Harper Devins was younger, like an iPad, just press record. Because there, I tried it. I don't know if I did a joke about it or if I tried to have...

I had a joke about, because I think she had one video. I think you can then hear me and Lard get in an argument because it just was running. I might have done a joke about it. You did have a joke about that. I don't remember if I made it on something. Well, apparently you shouldn't report.

Well, I don't even like. It was when she had her own YouTube channel. Yeah. Hey, everybody, like and subscribe. Oh, yeah, yeah. That was on a special. That was on a special. She never had her own YouTube channel, but she thinks she would talk like she has her own YouTube channel. But it's just going, yeah, because it just goes to our phones. It was just me and her mom were only subscribers. Yeah. Yeah. I don't remember if I cut that. It never even made it.

But, yeah, it's funny because, I mean, she would just do it then and just kind of come and go. Now it's a little more editing and getting it exactly right. But she's editing, like they do videos that cap chat or something. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that's like the new typing. I feel like where my generation had to be taught that and then that generation, they just come up knowing it. That's like a... Y'all learned video editing in school? No, I'm saying I learned that. Oh, yeah. I mean, you could take classes for it if you had like an AV class or something. What I'm saying is like typing used to have to be taught in school. Yeah. And now...

People my age, you just grew up typing. That's what I think it's going to be for video editing and stuff. That's like such an essential skill now. Yeah. Why would make it essential? What are you? Is everybody making movies? Because people just live on the internet now. They put their life on the internet in a way that we never did. Yeah. I saw where a news article, kids are now, parents are naming their kids based on how it would be a good TikTok handle.

Who's doing that? I think I sent you a link to the article. It's like a few people. Well, that may be true, but everything's a few people.

But anyway, this woman, she's a professional baby namer, which that's amazing that that's a job. But she says that she's helping parents now and they want to, how would this handle, you know, sound? People want their kids to have that unique identity. They want their kids to have a cool name handle for Instagram or TikTok in the future. Okay. She charges up to $500 to help expecting parents choose the perfect name. You know, when you read this stuff, like, I mean, it's fun to talk about, but.

Always when you read it, always remind yourself, this lady doesn't exist and no one's doing it. And that's why it's a good story. Always remember that. I hope that's all I want. I try to remind myself that every you can't just go, this is what's going on right now. It's not going on right now. She doesn't live in reality. I'm sure she could be in advertising for her.

Oh, yeah. I'm sure she probably, you know, some people pay her this money, but it's nobody. And it'll never be anything that matters. And I'm not even knocking her. I'm just in general. I just think because sometimes we get everybody gets worked up. You think the whole country is like this and you got to remind yourself nobody's like this. They just that's just this is how crazy stories have to get.

because they don't have anything to write. You know, like there's, you know, this kind of peak capitalism though, right? Like this lady is like, you know, a lot of parents have a hard time naming their kids. What if I was just doing it for them and they paid me money? I mean, I like this lady, you know, I mean, I don't like that business. I think you should just name your own kids, but I like this lady. How about these names? Leander, Melville, Pleasant. That's a pleasant. Ransom.

Yeah. Ransom. Duke. Robinson. Duke's a great name, but I went against it. This kid's going to have a good TikTok handle, but the rest of his life is going to be rough. Winslow. Excuse me. So for her, because it's like she's on TikTok, so she gets...

gets to ask, like, do this, where she charges and maybe someone sends her money on that thing. But there's just...

But she's got a regular job, as I'd imagine. And she just says, no, I'm a professional baby namer. And then you want to go, you probably have listened to that for a second. Then you go, but like, what do you do? You know, she's like, well, I work at a, you know. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, like you got to get through it. And I'm really not trying to knock her, but it just can't be, you can't convince me that there's a market that's doing it. Because what if you give her the money and then she gives you a name you don't like?

I know. Does she get the name first or, you know, that's a slippery slope. I was watching Kirby Enthusiasm. I got a good one. And you go, yeah, you're like, same time. Yeah. Yeah. He goes, what's it going to, you know, you're like, I don't know. Cause what does she, you go, all right, I'll do it. Charcoal. God. What? What?

Both write it down at the same time. He goes, golly. Yeah, because if- I want my money back. If she just gives you the name and you go, no, I don't like it, but then you take it without giving her the money. Seven. Yeah. Well, that's what I was about to say. There's a Seinfeld episode where George helps these parents and that's Mickey Mantle's number, right? And he comes up and an argument ensues. I'm watching Curb last night and I can't tell at this point if he's almost purposely just making these references to Seinfeld or

But every episode, I'm like, this has been a Seinfeld. Last night, there's one where Larry David, there's parents that try to name their baby. And one of them's last name's Mantle. He's like, oh, Mantle, Mickey Mantle, you know, same thing. And then they get an argument about what to name the kid. I'm like, it's so similar to Seinfeld. Mickey's a good name. Yeah, it's, I mean, I would imagine that's like, that's the hard part.

For him, Curb's not been, you know, it's on its... Last leg? Yeah, it's... I watched some and it's just like, you kind of, like, you know, you're just like, all right, dude. Yeah.

Yeah, maybe they are recycling ideas. They're like, hey, I'm going to remember something. Well, I don't think they're maybe even doing it on purpose. It's they don't remember. Like in a weird way. It's just been so long. I mean, I worry about it sometimes in my standup, like, because it will kind of blend together where I'm like, did I tell this story somewhere? And then you can't. And then you're, it all kind of goes together that you've got to kind of keep an eye on it to make sure you're not, you know, telling a story about something.

that I'm like, wait, I told that story. Because it is. It's very hard because when you're... As you're coming up to stuff, it's like the old hours got to just get out of your head so fast that you kind of forget it. And then you come consumed with the new one. So I could see that happening for real, being aware of it. And then Curb's just like... I watched...

John Reap was on episode. Yeah, that was fun. Reap was great. I don't think I watched it, to be honest. But I need to go back and watch John Reap. I saw his clip. His clip was good. This is the last season. It's over. Yeah. It's just kind of like it's...

I don't know. It's tough. Richard Lewis reached out to John Reed. Did you see that? I did see that. After that episode? Yeah. Like two weeks before he died and just told him how he thought he did a great job. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. That's cool. I met Richard Lewis once. Yeah. Uh,

When I did, I think I've told you, I did Joe Walsh's birthday. He was at that? He was at it. I opened for him one weekend. Y'all started together, right? Yes. Same class. That's funny. I opened for him at Zaney's one weekend. He's a nice guy. Yeah. They told me leading in, they said, you may not get in the green room. He may just want the green room to himself. And I was like, okay. So I was prepared for it.

And then he would just, he would get there pretty, right before he was about to walk on stage, and he would sit in his car until it was time for him to go on stage. I like that. That'll be me later on. Yeah. Yeah. This was one of my first times to ever feature there. So I had...

maybe 20-25 minutes and one night I'm about done and they hand me a note he's not here yet so keep going I remember like panicking inside talking real slow yeah yeah but he got there real quick after that but he was really nice and he and remember the last show he's like hey I'm sorry about all this with the he's like I'm just neurotic and that's just what I like to do and

I'm like, you've been doing comedy for 40 years. If I ever make it that far, I won't even look at you or something like that. Yeah. Ryan Hamilton told me he opened for him one time in several shows. And in passing, Richard Lewis would talk to him for a couple of minutes on stage after he brought him up. Yeah.

Like really like a couple of minutes, like really tall. Yeah. He's like, it was like a, I don't know. He's like, it was a long time to be like, I'm bringing him up and he's like, Hey, great job. And maybe it was just one show. The crowd's done clapping, standing there talking to him. Yeah. But I guess he's, you know, he's comfortable. He don't care.

He's like, I'm a legend. I'm about to do this thing. Yeah. I don't know. Well, yeah. When you're doing it for a long time, it's got to be hard to go in these green rooms and you're just meeting a comic that's, I mean, 30 years younger than you. And you're just... Well, not in this case. Yeah. There you go. Your feature's older than you this week. What? That's impossible. He goes, how's that? How's that? That's okay. Yeah. Yeah.

I was at the Comedy Catch in Chattanooga this weekend. Folk brought me this. I wanted to share. The Breakfast Club. Oh, wow. All right. That's cool. I love that. This was one of my favorite movies. Do you guys even know The Breakfast Club? Yeah. Could you name the actors? I've never watched it.

I can name the three that are on that poster. Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall. That's pretty good. Well, there's five of them. I know. He knows three. There's the names that are literally written on the top. I was about to say, you pick some of the more random ones. I do think they really dropped the ball on this poster of not putting maybe three of your nicknames. Yeah, yeah. Come on, guys. All right. Well, sorry, dude.

Trash. No. Get it better. That's very funny. Yeah. So thank you for that. And then I was in Hudsonville, Michigan. A lot of folks came to both shows. Pretty good routing.

Yeah. My manager. Your manager. All right. We're going to hit Chattanooga. And then as you take a four-stopper flight to Huntington. Where did you go? Hudsonville, Michigan. Hudsonville, Michigan. Yeah. He goes, part of the stops are the plane drives a little bit of the way. They have a stick shift on the plane? Yeah.

Can you drive a stick shift? I got to know before you take this gig. Danielle at the Comedy Catch said,

She will race you in swimming. Okay. And if you win, she'll build a green room at the club. Oh, well, let's do it. There's a lot riding on this. I got the whole comedy community in my corner. I know you're not working that club anymore. You're too big for it now, but I'm going to be there for a while. So if you could win this race. She said you have to come back to that club. Oh, that's a pretty good. Okay. That's a good deal. That's a good deal. Yeah. I should get the comics should be helping train me.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're really good to get the green. Maybe different comics than me and Brian. Yeah. Yeah. Pay for some training. What are they going to? I don't know, but they should. Yeah.

be on my side. Well, they would be on your side rooting for you. Well, they, they, first thing people have to do is start, you know, being positive about how good I am as a swimmer. You can't speak negativity into my life and expect me to perform well. Well, I love it. We, yeah, we have a real, real bet on the line for a race. Yeah. When do we do it?

I guess we'll have to ask Danielle. When are you going to be ready? I don't know. I need access to a pool. Yeah. That's going to be big. Yeah. I need a body of water. Like a YMCA? Something. Because I just saw today on Facebook that she had just run a marathon. Half marathon. Yeah. You'll be fine. Come on. So she's obviously in better lung shape than me. Aaron did a marathon yesterday on his treadmill. Come on. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, he walks 50 miles a week. It didn't say how fast you did it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Some guy broke the 40-yard dash thing over the weekend. Like, he has the fastest 40 ever. Yeah. And I had no idea how fast people were running this. He did it in, like, a little over four seconds. Yeah.

That's unbelievable to me. Yeah. I had no idea that was being done. Have you not watched the Combine since the 20s? I never watched it, even back in the 20s. That whole statement felt like a guy that's trying to be like, you're in football. I saw a story the other day that –

They talked about in my newspaper that doesn't talk about sports. Yeah. And Farmer's Almanac. And the guy, he goes, these boys are running pretty fast. A little over four seconds. But this is not impressive to you guys? Oh, it is impressive. It's very impressive. He ran a 4.12, I think, or something. I actually didn't know he broke it. I just saw...

Yeah, he holds the record. Yeah, I see it. Yeah, 4-1-2. Chris Johnson held it for a long time. And I was just like, you're telling me this guy ran 40 yards in four seconds? And I was just like, that is unbelievable to me. And maybe I don't have a real concept for yards. Yeah, I think you could do it in five. You think? How fast could you do it, you think? No, I'll tell you at my peak, I'm

you know, my peak physical shape, senior year of high school, like a five, four. But you had already broken your back too at that point. Look, I said, I didn't say I was perfect. I said I was as good as I was going to get. Yeah, that was, I think you were hoping to be in the fives. Oh, yeah. I just wanted single digits. I just wanted. Were people getting more of this? No, no. I just wanted to not be the slowest guy. You just didn't want to go at 30 yards. They go, all right, that's enough.

You go, we're not even, I'm not even to the thing yet. That's good, Aaron. Just go ahead and whip. We'll do two people at the same time. Well, I like this bet, though. I'm in for this. Let's get a green room at the comedy match. Yeah, that's a big deal. And in fairness to Dusty, he's more of a hockey guy now, so. We're going to get there and realize where are they going to put that green room? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Upstairs or trying to think. It's been a long time since I've been there.

I don't know where they'd have to... Yeah, put it in that corner. They've moved locations since you've been there. Oh, really? Oh. They could put it upstairs in the corner, and then you come down that stairway to the stage. They could even build...

stage level to the stairs. Oh, yeah. I like this bit because it would be fun to do. You could do a show and everybody in the crowd will know this show is happening because. Because I lost already. Because you lost or the green room, you know. Yeah. The Dusty Slay. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And they have to name it the Dusty Slay green room. Mm hmm. Mm hmm.

You know, I saw a farm video, a guy showing off his farm, riding around on an electric e-bike. Yeah, it's cool. Showing around his farm. So not just for cities. Get one for the land out there. Yeah. And I went to, I was off this week. I had to spot Zany's, but I was off. I could have been working. Could have been. But you went up with Jay? Yeah, I went on Jay's show. Oh, that's great. They were awesome, man. Yeah. Nate did a spot too. Yeah. Yeah. I probably had Big Jay, which is...

The opposite of what this podcast is about as far as clean and dirty. But Jay's one of my best friends and longest friends. That he's wonderful.

I forgot to talk about it last week, but I did in South Dakota. I did a smash room. Have you ever done one of those? No, but I saw video of yours. It looked pretty awesome. It's more fun than you think it's going to be. Have you ever been to one of those? No, I saw your video. Yeah. Like a rage cage, whatever they're called. Yeah. Where'd you do it? Huntsville. Okay. I took Harper.

Oh, yeah. I bet that's fun for a kid to do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was really fun. We went and did it together and it was, uh, yeah, it was cool. You just get a break, like a TV and break all this stuff. Oh, we didn't get a TV. I don't know if we had, I think we had a TV. TV was pretty nice. Yeah. Mine was mostly pots and glasses and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Glasses. Maybe we didn't have a TV. Maybe we had glasses. That was here when you got mad at Laura. Yeah. Oh yeah. That was here. We do it every week here. You know, uh,

Yeah, it's fun. We were just driving by it and I was like, I don't know. We'll go check that out. And it was a good time. I don't think I'd do it again. I think I got everything I need to get out. I got it out. Yeah, it's like, yeah, I mean, yeah. Someone that is like there weekly is like, you probably want to be like, let's look into this guy. Let's check on that guy. Let's check on this guy.

He's like, you don't have any spots this week. And you're like, hey, you all right? He goes, no, it's fine. He goes, someone else is going to get it. You go, what? Hello? He hangs up. You go, hello?

That was it for you? Yeah. You had anything? No. You did that? I did two hot shows. I did the Joy Theater in New Orleans. I don't think either of the shows were sold out, but they were very close and it was great. New Orleans, the Joy Theater, really great. But New Orleans, just as...

dangerous feeling as it always feels to me. And then I got nothing against the city, but it feels very dangerous. And then after my show, I'm hanging out on the side of the theater with a couple of guys and we hear a couple of gunshots and then people go running everywhere and we're just hanging. And then the cops show up and they rope off the area in front of the theater. And then, I don't know, apparently a guy, they don't know exactly what happened, but

They speculate that a guy accidentally shot himself, but it was two shots. So I don't know how you accidentally shoot yourself twice. Was that me? I did it again. But then he ran himself to a hospital. He ran himself? Yeah. That electric e-bike. So it was pretty wild. Yeah. And then I went to Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I've never done comedy in Mississippi before, but Hattiesburg.

Hattiesburg couldn't have been more opposite. It felt very safe. And I got to meet the mayor. My, my,

My friend, Vince Fabra, Vince Fabra and Drew Harrison opened for me, but Vince Fabra went to Hattiesburg, went to University of Southern Mississippi, and he roomed with the mayor now back in the day. He wasn't the mayor then. But so we got to go hang out at the mayor's office. I forget his name, but I met the guy that booked you on that show. He talked about having you and Lee Ann Morgan, John Chris down to do his show to raise money for cancer. He didn't mention me.

He did not. Did you do it? You were on that show too? I was with Nate Liam. Maybe he did mention you. I don't know, but I'm not recalling right now. Nah, he didn't. But it was great. Hattiesburg was so great. It was really fun. I think Jen, Jennifer from the Facebook page was at the show. Oh, yeah. A lot of Nate Liam people there. It was great. I had a great time. That's good. Very fun. And he went to a hockey game.

Yeah. And then last week I went to the Preds game and I got to do a couple of things. I did a little interview with Bally Sports and then I got to wind the, the,

The wrong direction. Well, I'll tell you, the lady goes, I go, which way do I go? She goes, either way you go, it will make the sound. And I go, okay. And she goes, but it's going to take a couple, you know, to catch on. So I'm winding and then it's never catching. So I just on my own go, you know what? I'm switching directions. And then I got it going. Is that actually making the noise? It is. They hold the microphone up to it.

Oh, okay. But as you can see, if you look around at the fans and the audience while I'm doing it, nobody cares. They're not getting fired up. Yeah.

Look how red your face is. I know. I think a little bit of that is that screen like that because other people's face look pretty red back there too. But man, I mean, it's like- You come up for air. Mine is so red. But look at that girl back here. I mean, her face is so red too. Yeah, but look at yours. I think she's black. But look, I mean, yeah, my face is super red. I mean, dang, I mean, I get-

I'm working. Listen. But look at her face back there. I mean, come on. Put the mouse. What face is he talking about? This guy. Yeah, but that girl's got makeup on. That's what I'm saying. The screen is changing our faces. She's not a clown. She didn't wear red makeup. I mean, yours is...

Yeah, but I'm working here too. I mean, listen, I got a special called Working Man. I can't be not working that thing out there. I mean, come on, guys. Yeah, my face is a little red, but I'm working. These people are just standing around. Oh, that's great. Yeah, I saw the tweet of you just sitting at the desk. I was like, we got Dusty analyzing hockey out here?

Well, they didn't ask me any hockey questions. I wish they would have. You know they got guys skating under four seconds. Would you even say something about hockey? Well, no. Well, I did say that I'm just amazed people can even skate, much less skate and hit the smallest, other than golf, the smallest ball, if you will. Yeah, my face is – that's like – look how red that is. That's crazy. That's what I'm saying. There's no way my face is that red. I mean, come on, guys. Yeah.

That's, yeah. But no one else's face is red. But this thing back there is red. Not like that, dude. I mean, you look like a different person. Yeah, but I mean, if my face is that red, I'm stroking out out there. I mean. You look like a miner that got under the ground. They just brought him up an hour ago and they said, you want to do the Pratt's thing? Because he's been underground for a month. I mean, I'm not denying it, but that can't be reality, though. You know what I mean? And he just saw the sun. Yeah.

You look like, you remember the wrestler Brother Love? Yeah. That's what you look like. I know. I mean, that's what I'm saying. But that can't, I'm just saying, it's got to be some effects of the screen. Look at that thing. What could the effects be? I don't know. I mean, because the other people around you don't look like that. But, you know, if I look like that and I'm walking around out there, people will be like, you okay? Well, I mean, right in that moment, it's...

Yeah, you're tight. I mean, it's intense. I'm not denying it. It's a wild red. It just can't be...

Oh, my gosh. But look at that guy back there behind that girl. Like, look how red his face is. Yeah, he looks cool. His whole head's showing. Yeah. You look just different than everybody, though. But I think that tells you they're wearing makeup, and then that guy back there not wearing makeup. Oh, yeah. Maybe that's it. So non-makeup people got more red. Yeah. Yeah. And I wasn't TV ready. Did you take the elevator down after that? I mean...

it's intense yeah i mean i'm not denying it but i just don't i think there's something going on yeah that was great like i mean look at that look at your hands though well that's the difference i'm white knuckling it yeah yeah yeah all the blood's left my hands and they're up in my face yeah yeah and the way your face it looks like you're i mean really exhausted like

Like you get done, you go, you told me to go there. The first thing you said, did you tell her that she told you the wrong way? Well, I did say that it didn't work the other way. I said, you know, you set me up for failure. Yeah. And then look at me now. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, sure, I wound it up, but I look like a maniac out there doing it. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look at my, I look like I'm yelling too. I wasn't yelling. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Come on. Here we go. But yeah, I mean that. Yeah. Yeah. Guy Jordan used to do comedy here in town, shared that picture. And I'm like, dude, you can get in a better picture. Put this on Twitter. I think this is where the picture he wanted. Yeah. Well, the Preds like I have an eight game winning streak. I think it's because of you getting them going.

Well, it was a hot game. They scored two right up top, and then there was a fight, and I was like, this is what I'm talking about. Fights are fun, dude. Yeah. I loved it. Any fights in the stands? Well, they gave me some box seats, you know? Oh, okay. I felt like royalty up there. I mean, I was like, I don't know what's going on down in the stands, but I'm up here in a balcony. Come back all sweaty. Yeah. And I was like, what happened? Yeah.

Well, I said, my face looks so red. And she was like, everybody's face looked red. But this picture in particular was like. That's great. I'm trying to run the electricity for the whole place. Keep it going. Keep the lights on. You're seeing it dim a little bit. And this one has to hit him. And he goes faster.

Yeah. I don't, I mean, I don't know what happened. Yeah. But you know, sometimes after shows, when I take pictures with people, my face looks real red too. Yeah. Mine would look red too. Yeah. But not like that. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, all right. Read you guys comments. Debbie's eyes, black size, black Z's, but this is, but this is, but I like size, but yeah, me too. Debbie.

Debra Zisblut. Yeah, she has to change that. Sounds like a spy. It does. Nate's idea that Dusty completely agreed with. Okay, let's head back. Nate's idea that Dusty completely agreed with for everyone to just move left to move the earth is impossible.

Taking into consideration the weight of the earth plus gravitational pull, there's no way movement on earth could move the earth a centimeter away.

That's because we haven't tried. Well, I love that Debbie just knows that. It's like, you have no idea, Debbie. If everybody on earth moved to one side of the earth, who knows what would happen? I think people would be nervous. Yeah. I mean, come on, Debbie. Don't act like we didn't put a lot of scientific research into that theory.

You think if everybody went to one side, it would go, hmm? Maybe. Well, what I'm saying is, you know, if from, say, Mexico to, you know, Wisconsin, there's this extreme temperature difference. If we could just bump it a little out, then everything would get a little cooler. Mm-hmm. Okay. Probably bump it a little up. Well, I'm just saying out from the sun a little bit. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Mm-hmm.

Maybe everybody jump at the same time. I mean, come on, Debbie. I mean, don't challenge our ideas unless you're going to bring some real research. I mean, you know what I mean? I don't just believe a Zyze black anytime they pop up. How do you know the weight of the earth? Yeah, I mean, come on. They have a scale? I mean, come on, Debbie. How much does the earth weigh? Did someone say that? Yeah, I think they know.

It's rude to ask mother earth. I'll let you weigh approximately six,

And with a lot of zeros. Yeah. Six times 10 to the 24th kilograms. And that's with all the people. Yeah. Why don't you give like a better, why don't they go like 2,000 pounds? One time. Yeah. They can shorten this down. They can, you know, make another thing. 13,170 billion trillion pounds. Okay. Yeah.

To put that in context, a male African bush elephant tips the scale at 13,000 pounds. That doesn't even put it in context. That number is so crazy. What keeps going, though? There is no context. One trillion elephants would weigh 13 whatever. 13,000 trillion pounds. And the Earth weighs one billion times more than that. There you go.

Since they've been experts, study the gravitational pull the planet has on other things and use math to calculate its size. Yeah, they have no idea. They have no idea. They're like doing, this guy's like working at the fair. He's like, I can guess. He goes, come on over here. He goes, deuce, deuce and a half. Shiv Ottoman.

Shiv Ottoman. Scientists tend to start thinking up theories way ahead of their time because it could take decades before they find a solution. Does it mean they finalized on plans to use an umbrella to cover the sun? It's a theory that enables debates and conversations. There you go. Sounds like something that Adam man would come up with. Yeah. They just throw it out there and then they go, all right, we'll go do the umbrella thing.

What are y'all doing in that room? We're arguing about umbrella. Son. You want to do that? I don't want to go down that road. Andrew Truix. Out of every podcast in the land, I identify with Aaron the most.

I have often been the smartest guy in the room that had to dumb it down. Okay. Keep it up, Aaron. Some of us here are here for Aaron Lamb. Yeah. I think where we relate the most is our humility. That's what I like about Andrew. Yeah. I love that this guy, he's so smart. He just, so smart. His last name's true. Okay.

Sounds like a race car driver, though, doesn't it? Yeah. Truix. Or a toilet paper brand. I think Truix is a... Toilet paper brand. I think Truix is a race car. Yeah, Martin Truix Jr. There it is. He's the Bass Pro Shops. Mm-hmm. So Andrew Truix. Smartest guy on the track, some people would say. Jason Feller. I'm one of those weirdos that cried at the solar eclipse when it came to Nashville. Ha ha ha!

See, Nate, there were more than four people. I wasn't expecting to, but something happened in that moment and I was totally overwhelmed. I've been looking forward to the one in April since then. I'm pulling my kids out of school to go see it, encouraging everyone I know to do the same. I hope Aaron gives it another shot. Come on, Aaron, give it another shot. All right. You're the one that said nobody's doing this.

When nobody's crying, you said. I didn't think people would be crying. I recommend a smash room for Jason. I think he's got some undue emotion that he needs to. Did you ever have a moment where your parents are like, we need to experience this as a family, like a historical moment where they're like, we got to. I remember my dad waking us up. This is when George Bush was declaring war, starting the war in Iraq. My dad was like, all right, everybody come. We're like, we're going to watch this.

I want y'all to have been here when this happened. Did it like middle of the night? I mean, it was probably, I think it was at night when he made that announcement, like nine o'clock or something. We went in, but I was 11. I remember, uh, I think we went and looked at Minnesota fats grave site. Yeah.

My dad had a skull over there. That's pretty cool. Yeah. Because he's buried here. He's buried next to Tulp Grove in Hermitage, Old Hickory. And so I think my dad heard about it. So I remember where he goes, we're going to go look at this. We're not even billiard fans. Right. But it was someone famous. There you go. It's the same thing.

my mom wanted to go look at charlie daniel's grave just thinking of that and then so i took her and my wife and my baby and we drove over there i knew where it was at my mom was like well let me get a picture with you in the grave because i know you're a big fan i'm like well i don't know that and then so i said okay though my mom wanted to do it so i got a picture and then another lady pulled up and she was like i'll get a picture with the whole family here and yeah and hannah was like nah nah i was like nah just do it this lady's already got out of the car let's just do it so i got a

picture with the whole family at charlie daniel's uh grave but i don't think that's what you're talking about really but yeah no this is all this is the same thing exactly yeah it's a recognition of we need to build a memory here yeah and i do i was a huge charlie daniels fan but i don't really need a picture with this gravesite you know what i mean go to charlie daniels park yeah

I do go there. I used to live over there. We stopped at, I've told this before, at Randy Owens, Alabama. We found his house. Oh, yeah. Who? The lead singer for Alabama. Oh, okay. Randy. Is it Owen or Owens? I don't know if it's a singular or plural. Randy. On vacation, we made a pit stop. There you go. There you go. All right. Yeah.

So no. Yeah. How'd that go the first time you told it? Scott Thompson, a solar eclipse interrupted a battle in 585 BC between the median and

peoples and the Lydian peoples, regional powers at the time. The eclipse occurring mid-battle was seen as a sign from the gods. The battle ceased and peace was negotiated between the groups who had been warring for the past six years. How about that? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We're having this eclipse. These eclipses don't happen all the time is what they're saying. And we just had one like what? Uh,

2017. Seven years ago. And seven is a real biblical kind of number. And so it came across. And now seven years later, we've got another one going across, making an X right across America. I just think it's strange. And I think it may be a sign. Because I think in Luke, it talks about Jesus talks about a sign from Jonah. And apparently this sign.

Eclipse is going through a lot of cities in America named Nineveh, which was the city that Jonah had to go to and tell him to repent. How many Ninevehs are there? Apparently quite a few. Three?

I think like six at least. When the 2017 one happened, were you telling everybody, they don't know. They don't know. This ain't going to happen. No, I mean, I do think they seem to know about when these are going to happen. I feel like it would be weird if the scientists were like, an eclipse is coming and then it didn't come. I think they do know. But I just think it's interesting. It's forming a little X right across America. It's an election. I guess it is an election year. Yeah, it's like...

I don't know. I think it's strange. And in 585 BC, they were thinking like me. They were like, hey, we're in the middle of a war. This thing just happened. Let's bring some peace here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now we're like, you know, now we're crying when it comes over. Which I guess is at least recognition of how, you know,

big of a deal it is so you know what i'm coming around on jason all right you're gonna cry it's great i won't be crying but who knows yeah who knows uh you think you'll be underground during it yeah yeah crying because i accidentally locked myself in there like them you ever see blast from the past with uh brendan fraser and uh christopher walken no alicia silverstone

Great movie. Yeah. But Christopher Walken is Brendan Fraser's dad and they think a nuclear explosion has happened. So they go down and lock themselves under for like, I don't know, 20 years and then come out. And so it's Brendan Fraser who's been raised underground is now like trying to go out. That's fun. It's a great movie. Yeah. Very fun.

Reva Wolf. Reva Wolf. You've got to Google May 19th, 1780, the dark day. It's very interesting. Love the podcast. Oh, I'd like to check that out.

Well, there it is in New England. May 19th, 1780, an unusual darkening of the daytime sky was observed over the New England states and parts of eastern Canada. The primary cause of the event is believed to have been a combination of smoke from forest fires, a thick fog and cloud cover. But the darkness was so complete that candles were required from noon on. It didn't disperse until the middle of the next night.

So imagine if you don't know this is coming and it just gets dark for a whole day. That's got to be terrifying. Back then, 1780. What do you think was going on during then? Well, they said like a, there could be a forest fire. But you're thinking like witch hunts and stuff? Yeah, what were they up to? Probably some witches. Yeah, it was just four years after, you know, signing the declaration. Oh, yeah. What were they doing? What were they up to? Mm-hmm.

Are you a mall? Yeah, maybe. First corporation. Real dark day. Dallas Owen. You guys have a lot of good advice on in-flight apparel. What's your opinion on flying in shorts? I could be flying to the equator, but would still wear long pants because I can't stand for my bare legs. The touch of the legs of someone else next to me. I agree. I'm not even really into shorts.

Like when it's real hot and you're just out doing something, I get it. But in public, I'm not a big shorts guy. I'm not like golfing. It can be like if you're outside, like, you know, some workout shorts. Like I don't mind shorts like that, but I'm not the most. If I'm going to be inside a lot, I won't wear shorts. I wear shorts on a play. Do you? Do you?

Yeah. Why not? What kind of shorts? Basketball shorts? Shorts and a t-shirt. He's going through menopause. Short shorts. Gets hot. Umbros. Excuse me, ladies. I got to do some man spreading here. Excuse me, Southwest. Is the air on? Sir, it's freezing up here. It couldn't be colder.

Yeah, I'm not into, I mean, you know, when I used to sell pesticides, I wish they would have let me wear shorts because it was so hot in Charleston and I'm pushing pallets of fertilizer around, but.

I'm not a shorts. I'm not into that. I don't think it's a good look. I think as a business, I think it's better to have everybody in pants. I can understand the pesticide. You could do shorts, but you'd be like, we need at least a uniform. Yeah, khaki shorts. Like a UPS driver, you don't really think about him wearing those shorts because it's a uniform. But I wear shorts to golf. I can wear them if we're doing an activity.

But yeah, if I'm going to be inside, I don't, I like pants and fine. I mean, I don't know if I've ever even wore shorts. I don't think I have. Not, I couldn't tell you how long. I went through a real cargo short phase in my life. Oh, geez. There's a couple of pictures of those that I wish didn't exist. Yeah. We'll find them. Yeah. Those were just like, how much stuff does people carry? Yeah. You know?

If you need cargo shorts, I think you got to go. What are you walking around? Especially on a plane. Oh, you're not talking about on flight. You're talking about just in general. Yeah, just in general. I was wearing a lot of cargo shorts and flip-flops. I want to get to travel with nothing, like minimalistic. You see a guy on a plane like that every now and then. Just, dude, nothing. Yeah, they could have. I mean, if you have a phone, you could have a book. You could have everything. But no backpack, nothing. Nothing.

Yeah, that's pretty nice. Yeah. I'm not a light traveler. I can't do it. I'd like to, but I can't. Yeah. I know. I just, you just seem to, it's just junk, man. It's all junk. Yeah. What you need is rocket money. Oh, that's, these are getting worse, Brian. I know. That's okay. Nice.

I like how you get up in there. I think, you know, you got to, yeah, that's what you got to do. You got to remind them. Mel Glover. Meg. Mel. I was looking at L. Meg Glover. Wait, where were you looking at the L? In the GL. Oh, the next word over? Yeah. Meg Glover. Mel Glover is a great name.

Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson, Danny Glover. Yeah, there it is. Come on. Yeah, Mel Glover is a great name. I hope there's a Mel in that family. Aaron said, Kristen Chenoweth from West Wing feels aching to someone saying Michael Jordan from Space Jam. Ken? Yeah. What was Kristen Chenoweth in otherwise?

She's like a Broadway star. Musical. That was the joke. She's like old school famous. Yeah. Where it's like just all around Liza Minnelli type. Yeah. You're just full entertainer. Yeah. Yeah. She could put on a show like you could you could lock her in a room with an audience and she would be able to do a show which is such a talent. I mean because just acting wise I mean Space Jam is

Michael Jordan's biggest film I would say it is his only show yeah I mean so yeah Kristen Chenoweth I mean that would to me that would say West Wing was like her biggest thing she ever did aside from having a prolific basketball career

Yeah, but I think if you want to... If you're trying to wrap Kristen Schindler up, it really narrows what she is. She also...

Like it would almost be the West Wing would be, oh, and also she was an actor on the greatest TV show. Like you would say it like that. Yeah. Just to be clear, I knew that. That's why it was funny to say that in the moment. Yeah. Well, I think we all had a pretty big laugh. From what I remember.

Dusty, I'm surprised. Hope Waller. Oh, Hope Waller. Hope Waller. What a name. Yeah, that's a good name too. Hope Waller. I bet you know when Hope Waller comes up, probably when you're about to meet Hope Waller, you go, I bet this is Hope Waller. I think you feel it. Hope Waller. I bet you feel it before you ever meet him. You'd go,

Are you Hope Waller? If you knew, hey, this town has a Hope Waller, I think you could go walk and go. I bet I could pick out Hope Waller. Dusty, I'm surprised you've never heard of acidophilus. With all your digestive issues, it is a really great probiotic. You should give it a try. My mom is all about natural remedies, and acidophilus is one of the vitamins she takes often.

Acidophilus. Yeah. You don't have to drink the milk. We usually just take capsules of it. There you go. Yeah. I mean, I'm into it, I guess. I had never heard of it, though. So that was not around. Yeah. I was talking to my mom about it the other day. And yeah, we just always, that's just what we always bought. My dad, you know, golly, you know why we bought it? Very funny.

This is just, you know, I bought it. You know who their spokesperson was? Ernest T. Yeah. So we bought it because they go, well, Ernest T was on the- Ernest T like from Andy Griffin? No, no. Just Ernest. Not Ernest T. Ernest. Okay. Ernest. Hey, Vern. Hey, Vern. Yeah. Ernest T Bass? No. Not Ernest T Bass. Take the T. Take the T. Yeah. Ernest goes to camp, you know that guy? Ernest P. Worrell. Yeah. Jim Varney. Yeah. Oh, this guy? Yeah. Yeah.

Ernest was really great. You don't know about Ernest? I know these movies. Yeah, I didn't know he was like... These movies were great. He had a TV show. Yeah. I need to watch those with Harper. This guy was huge back in the day. He was nice. Yeah. So they knew. Yeah, that's why we did it. Because he was on... He advertised Acidopolis Milk. And so we were like, sign us up. He had some great commercials. Mm-hmm. Super funny.

They're still in 2000. He died in 2000, man. He was also the Beverly Hillbillies. He played Jed Clampett in the movie. Another guy that's just, you could throw that guy in the room and he'd give you an hour long show. Yeah. I'm on it. Yeah. Yeah. He died at 50. There was a clip of him and Robin Williams circulating on Instagram, hanging out, kind of backstage talking. Oh, really? I didn't know what they were in together, but it was very funny.

Yeah. Yeah. I need to go and watch those with Harper because they're. Ernest Goes to Camp. Yeah. They were great. I watched Ernest Goes to Camp a few years back and it was not the same. Yeah. As when I was a kid, it just felt like they were just picking on Ernest the whole time. Yeah. This guy's such a nice guy. Stop doing that to him. Yeah. It's probably how you watch it though. It's just like, he's, it's self-deprecating. Yeah. It's funny. It's, you know.

The commercials, he'd basically come to the guy's window, right? Yes. Hey, Vern. Hey, Vern. I got blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And they were fine. Yeah, yeah. It worked. The whole family was buying it. We bought it. I mean, they still buy it, I think. It's all we ever drink. Jonathan Eldridge. Eldridge, but just L, then right to the D. Yeah.

I liked it. That's a family. A long time ago, they go, I ain't messing around. Minimalize. That's a good read. Eldridge. I was reading LaDridge. LaDridge. So that's Eldridge. There's an apostrophe there. Yeah, that's very good. Eldridge. It goes Eldridge. And I bet he goes, how do you spell that? You go, it's going to be spelled how your brain first says to spell it, but I bet you spell it wrong. Yeah. Because everybody would spell it wrong. And I'd probably dumbly spell it like that. And he'd be like.

You nailed it. Yeah. The best rule of thumb for restaurants is to be gone by the time they close, whether

Whether you're getting to go or eating there, you just have to want to be gone before they close. Have to want to be gone. Yeah. I mean, but if you go in there and want to eat. I wanted to be gone. Yeah. Yeah. I agree with him though. You did? Yeah. Yeah. Of course. Right. Right. Because we were talking last week about like, you go in and you're like, oh, they close in 15 minutes. You know, it's like, but if you can just get in there and get your food and get out and not, you don't want to get a table when they're about to close.

Yeah, you go sit at a bar, you're like, we're just trying to get a hamburger and something quick. Yeah. But I mean, if someone's drinking and having a big table, they don't always rush those people out. Right. But I guess they're spending money. I don't know. Cindy, Aaron, consider donating your minivan. Some of these chariots will come get your van for free. Yeah, I'm doing that. I just needed it. I needed my minivan moved that day. Yeah.

Yeah. Out of the way. I just needed it out of the way. Yeah. So, yeah, I'm done. Cars for kids. You ever heard of that? Yeah. Yeah. I got a,

Jingle commercial, right? Cars for kids. Cars for kids. Yeah. Yeah, those are- I gave back. I had a car. Worst commercials. I had an old car that we gave to Cars for Kids. Yeah. Most annoying commercials on the planet. The Cars for Kids? I think so. What are they? Can you do them? Well, it was- Cars for Kids. Oh, that's like, was it amelodic like that? Give me, give me some love. You don't know that? I'm sure you could find it online.

Joy Nardini, where do you guys fall on the daylight saving time debate? I live in California and currently live in Arizona, and I can't decide if I like not changing my clocks. In the winter, I have the hardest time waking up in the morning because the sun doesn't come up until after 7 a.m. But it's great in the summer because it still gets dark at a reasonable hour, so my young kids can still go to sleep at bedtime.

Yeah, I don't think I like Daylight City. I like it when we're about to spring forward, right? Yeah, so you do like Daylight City. Oh, so I do like Daylight City. I like it when it gets dark later. That's what I'm into. Starts this Sunday. Oh, really? Yep. All right, so we'll lose an hour. Oh, yeah. We'll go back an hour or forward an hour? Spring forward. Spring forward. So we lose an hour, but it'll get dark later, which is really the best. Which is nice. Yeah. Now, the argument I read for...

Why some are against it is because it gets, the sun comes up later. So like here in Tennessee and central time, if you kept it like that year round in the wintertime, sun wouldn't be coming up till nearly 8 a.m. So kids would be going to school in the dark. I'm okay with it. Great. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you have kids. So the way. In the dark. It would be dark till 8 a.m.?

Right now in the wintertime, on standard time, it's nearly 7 in December when the sun comes up. And if we stayed on daylight savings time, it'd be nearly 8, which I guess on the East Coast would be nearly 9 a.m. if we stuck with it. Yeah, that is crazy. Maybe that's why they don't do it. Maybe that makes the most sense ever. I just needed to hear some of that. Yeah, I've never heard that argument before. To me, it's like, what?

Who cares about the morning though, right? It's like the night is the afternoon. But it's like, it would be hard to get, you know, waking up in the middle of the night. Farmers care, Dusty. I feel like you guys are reversing here. Yeah, but what farmer is, you know, if you, you know. Getting up before eight? Reliant on the clock to tell them when to get up. You just get up at sunrise. But,

But getting stuff done. You don't think farmers use alarm clocks? Well, if you're just a farmer. They have electricity and everything at these farms. Right, but if you're just farming and you don't, you know, and it's like the job is just to farm, why do you have to get started at 7 a.m.? Why not just get started when the sun comes up? And then just work later in the day? You probably would have to get started when the sun, I don't think the sun comes up at 8 a.m. I think you exist in a global economy. I'm saying,

You're like 9 a.m. I'm saying right now. I don't think the sun's ever come up at 9 a.m. anywhere on the earth. Well, I don't know about that, but I'm saying if we stick with daylight savings time.

If I read correctly, on the East Coast, the sun wouldn't come up until nearly 9 a.m. And here, it wouldn't come up until nearly 8 a.m. Good luck, dude. Yeah. But right now, we're on standard time in the winter. Yeah. So it comes up at around 7 a.m. What's the latest the sun comes up? I just don't think it's 9 a.m. anywhere. I'm looking it up now. Well, in Alaska, it may never go down. That's true. Sometimes it just doesn't anywhere.

Yeah. While we're looking, Dusty, tell us about AG. Oh, I'll do it. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. Nate land podcast is brought to you by progressive insurance.

Could you look at sunrise in December? Yeah. For where? Just anywhere in the United States. Yeah. New York. That doesn't rise till 11 a.m. Yeah. Okay. New York, December 2023. I mean, so like December...

Yeah, 7 o'clock. Where? 718. Yeah, I think that the, you know. Where does it say 718? Right here at the bottom as you move along the graph. Help us with that. 719. Yeah. Is the latest, basically. Yeah, so in the summer, June, July. Be 8. 520. Yeah, but so 719 is the latest. So if you didn't do the daylight savings, it'd be 8.

Yeah, so the longest day, or I guess maybe the shortest day, it's almost 7.50 something on the East Coast. Okay. I just say, let's get rid of time altogether. We'll wake up when the sun comes up, go to bed when it goes down. There goes your comedy career. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, let's just reset everything. Daytime comedy. Again, there goes your- Yeah, daytime comedy.

Yeah. We'll do daytime comedy shows. Yeah, our people have time. And you got to work. You got to. Well, in the wintertime, there won't be a lot of time. But how do you tell them? That's when people want to be inside. The peak season for comedy. Well, let's do some candlelight comedy. How do you tell them when the show is?

You go when, you know, you start to get real familiar with where the sun is in the sky. And you go, you know. So you're using a sundial. You go on the new moon when the sun is, you know. So you still got a time. Stop the book of Torah. Right. But we don't use numbers. Yeah. You know. You just say. Right.

You know, we deal with, you know, you'll feel it. You'll feel it when the show's about to start. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the old way, let's say it'd be 8 p.m. But the new ways, you know, the town will make an announcement when the show's about. Oh, they ring a bell. We're living in smaller communities. So we'll be traveling from town to town and they'll they'll be like, oh, you know, it's a big act coming into. OK. Yeah. Shows in English.

Well, some of them, I can't guarantee they all work. Old English. Right. I feel like now with phones, everyone now just, there's not an issue with time change, someone not knowing about it. Exactly. But growing up...

We'd always go to church on Sunday morning. There would always be somebody, sometimes it was us, that either forgot and they'd get there an hour late or get there an hour early. I bet these people still do it because if you don't set your alarm, do you set an alarm to wake up? Oh, yeah. I set three. Every day? Yeah. I set three different alarms. Hotel, I do four. Okay. I know. I'm talking about everyday life. Yeah. Really? I haven't set an alarm. I mean, unless I have to get up.

I mean, I'll sleep through it almost every day, but I set one. What time? Two hours this morning. I know, but what time do you? I set one for seven. I woke up at nine. Yeah. And I just snoozed it every nine minutes. Yeah. Yeah, you just need a kid and then. Yeah, that'll change. Why were you wanting to get up so early? I don't know. You have big ambitions, right? I'm going to tackle the day tomorrow. I'm going to really get into it. And then you wake up at nine and here I am. Yeah. I set an alarm even on your bus.

Yeah. My biggest fear is that I'll just oversleep and everybody's already doing something and I'll just wake up and I'll be locked in the bus or something. Locked in the bus? Wow. Do you wake up with it? I think I can wake up without an alarm like Kramer. I mean, I would eventually, but I just worry. I mean, I don't do it that... Like, I know if I...

Today, I knew I needed to get up at 9 a.m., and I'm blown away because I'll always wake up, and it'll be right when I needed to get up. Now, I think if I had to get up at 6, something so crazy, I'd be in shock. I don't know. I'd set my alarm for that. I set my alarm for that kind of stuff. But I don't set it. My life is not the most morning-type thing, so there's really no need for it.

Yeah. I mean, if I have to be somewhere, you know, but. I don't set one unless I, yeah, unless I got to catch a plane. Yeah. Your kids will wake you up. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes all throughout the night. Yeah. Well, I want to talk a little bit. According to Noah, spring is here.

It's feeling like spring out there. According to Noah. Well, technically, I think spring starts March 2021. It starts a day early this year because of leap year. It starts March 19th. But according to meteorologists, March 1st is like the start of spring. It's about Noah. N-O-A-A. It's about Noah. I thought that was the name of the groundhog. What's Noah's last name?

I don't know that it really listed it. What could it be? You're talking about biblical Noah? Yeah. Like there's like the yellow pages. Like I don't put my last name. Yeah. That's the last step in the Bible is that they go, you want to do your last name? He goes, don't put my last name. I bet he got a lot of prank calls while he was building that thing. Oh gosh. Yeah. Yeah.

There's only so many Ezekiels. There's a million of them back then. Probably so, yeah. Don't put my last name. Yeah. Your last name was just where you were from, right? Or like who your parents were. I think his dad was Methuselah, the real old guy? No. Granddad. Yeah, maybe his granddad. Yeah. Who was his dad? Lamech? I don't know.

I can't remember. These all sound made up. Yeah. Lamech's a good name. Lamech. Mm-hmm. Methuselah lived 969 years. Did he really? That's impressive. Yeah. Anyway, spring's here. It's the best time to do some planting. So I thought we'd talk about some plants and some trees. Planting. Yeah. Planting. All right. Planting. Have you, I probably said that wrong. Have you ever planted anything or ever had to take care of a plant? No. Not one day of my life.

Never? Good topic. Yeah. Oh, man. Well, I'm saving the obvious. Yeah. Yeah. They got me. Yeah. We'd work our way up. He's foaming at the mouth. I'm not going to start at the top. Someone's like, let him go. Just let him go. He's like, oh, boy. What about you, Eric? Foaming at the mouth or chomping at the bed? I don't know.

Probably chomping at the bed. Yeah, chomping. Foaming at the mouth. That sounds like I am having some problems. You got to bring in that predator. Yeah, it was. You're rabid. Because he's foaming at the mouth. Look at her. She's foaming at the mouth. She's got rabies. What about you, Aaron?

No, dude. I don't think we had plants growing up. You guys have neither ever really planted anything? I've been trying to tell the story. My brother just moved to Tucson, and I went out there, and I was like, let me get you something for your apartment. And he wanted some plants. So I went to a plant store, and I got him a cactus. Plants are so expensive, dude. If you get nice plants. And they're free.

If you just go dig them up. That's the crazy part. Yeah. Like a nice house. We got him like crazy looking cactus. Anyway, something you could never find in Arizona. Yeah. All right. I thought I was doing a nice thing. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. This will go perfect with all your cactuses in your backyard. Now you get one inside that you can bump up against.

And you just get lit up all day, bud. All right. I don't even feel like finishing the story. When we got married, someone gave us a bonsai seed that you grow. Because bonsais are strong. It's supposed to show marriage is strong. It can withstand tough times. I never thought of it. It was a metaphor. Things like that. So I take care of it. I brought it. Did you really? Oh, yeah.

There it is. I think it's dead. Don't damage it. There it is. But I want to say that's not any...

correlation with my marriage. Oh, that's good to know. Have you been, what did you take care of? Did you try to get that? I did. I tried and I just, that's as far as it could go. Just for reference. This is what it's supposed to look like. Karate kid. That's what, that's a big part of the movies. You know, I got a friend that he does a lot of bonsai trees. He has tons of them. And he says that bonsai is just,

You know, like a potted tree. I mean, that's what it is. It doesn't have to be any particular kind of tree. But when you say bonsai tree, this is what you're talking about. Right, but it's a small tree that you can take any tree that you dig up and then put it in a pot and then just manicure it in a certain way. Yeah, you don't have to grow it. Hold it. I'm still trying to get this thing going. Did you really forget to put water in it? No, I did water it. It just never would. I haven't watered it for a while, but it just stopped growing. Okay.

Maybe it could be root bound in that thing right there. Maybe, maybe. Dusty, have you ever planted anything? Yeah. I mean, all the time. I was pulling weeds this morning. I mean, I got a couple, my grandfather planted some fig trees and like he died in 1966. So he planted them before he died. And so I did some cuttings, obviously. And I did some cuttings and I'm trying to. Now what's cuttings? Well, you just, you know, you just clip off like a.

you know, like the fig tree is growing and you got a limb that's growing, you clip it where it's got some new growth on it. And then you put it into dirt and try to regrow a new tree out of that. So that's what I'm trying to do right now. I got, you remember, that's what they did with the Isaac Newton tree. We talked about that a little bit where that trees now all over the world. Anyway, anyway, I got figs. I got Walnut peak. Well, actually the Walnut limbs died, but I got, uh,

pecan uh grapes i'm trying to like start all these new cuttings pecan pecan yeah i don't know people always say if you're southern you say in a certain way and i'm like i don't know how it said pecan pecan i always said pecan what do you guys say i think i think something like pecan was pecan oh i was always i don't even know now pecan is what i always said

But anyway, so I'm trying to grow all that, you know, because I like these old and I got a pair, too, that my grandfather planted. And it's I mean, this tree is so feeble looking. But yet every year it's like pears all over the place and it's all non GMO stuff. So I'm trying to get, you know, trying to get this going. I got 40 trees.

that I planted out in McMinnville that I'm trying to get. I got to get some cages built around it. Aaron did help me build some cages one year. Did those work? I think they worked, but we built them too small. So the deer could still kind of walk up there and just eat the leaves. So now they need to be, they need to be a bit bigger around, but I think I'm going to have to hire someone to do it because it's too much work for the little time that I have.

But yeah, I mean, I got, I'm trying to get a whole, I built some swales, which is where you take a hill and then you cut some, cut like a ditch and then you got a little rise and then another ditch and a rise. So you can plant all along the rise. And then as water comes down, it can build up in that ditch. And then as it seeps into the ground, continues to water the plant. So I'm going to try to grow a row of trees on that and then do some other things like

you know,

you know, like food forest is like different canopies. So you have the fruit tree and then you'll have like bushes, like a fig bush. And then as you get smaller, like a blueberry bush, and then you got different herbs. And people say that if you do like peppermint, basil, oregano, rosemary, that, you know, when insects come, what they do is they light on different plants, trying to find the one that's good to them. You know, they'll land on it.

on it, kind of light on it. So when you have- Light on it. Yeah. They say light instead of land. I don't know. I've never heard that. That's just something that I say. Yeah. Okay. But they'll land on it. And if it's things they don't like, it discourages them from trying other things. So they don't like these herbs. So the idea is you plant these herbs along to try to keep insects away naturally. So that's what I'm into.

I'm in. How long does it take for a tree to grow?

Well, I think a long time. I mean, but you buy, I bought, I didn't grow them from seed. They're grafted. That means like halfway? Well, that means like they took, they would cut, they would do a cutting from an already existing apple tree. And then you graft it to some other kind of root. But no one will ever really tell you what to graft it to. I never can really find that info. So I just buy the grafted trees and then plant them.

So like I put part of an apple seed on another tree. Yeah. It'd be like a, an apple tree limb. And then you have, and then it's cut like, you know, in a way that it's kind of a longer cut. And then you got a root from another tree. That's cut a certain way to where you can match them up and then wrap them up with the can't do it to like a telephone pole or something. No, it's gotta be something with roots. I'm living. Yeah. Yeah.

And then that's, then you can buy them bare root. They're a lot cheaper if you buy bare root and then you get them in the ground, cover them up. And then, so they're probably a couple of years already into growing at that point. So you gotta, but if that seems like something you should talk about at home Depot with another guy. Yeah, I know. I mean,

Well, I had hoped that you guys- In the garden section. There's a lot of people listening to this. Well, I had hoped that you guys had grown one thing. It's interesting. Let me ask you this. If Nate was eating an apple in his backyard, not that he ever would, but if he were- I don't eat apples. Why do you not eat an apple? I'm just unhealthy. Yeah. And he spit the apple seeds on the ground with-

Is there a chance that would grow into an apple tree? I guess a chance, but probably not. What if I dug it? Yeah, you could dig it and bury it. Then it could grow. But what they say is a lot of times a tree that grows from a seed doesn't necessarily bear fruit.

You don't know that it will bear fruit and it takes so long to grow. That's why they graft them. They graft them from a tree that's already bear fruit. So how long does it take to grow? I mean, like five years? I think so. Something like that to be able to start getting some fruit. This guy suggested that we plant a trillion trees and it could help global warming because trees give off, I guess they take in the bad CO2 and then they put out oxygen. But now he's saying, stop doing it. It's not working. Yeah.

Well, I don't buy any of the- Who's he called to say stop? Yeah. Bill Gates is now saying that we can't grow enough trees to combat global warming. But there are a lot of people that are starting to, like in India and Africa and certain countries where they have a lot of desert and the desert keeps spreading, that they are going in and doing these tree projects and trees actually help bring water back to

because of, I don't know, something that it does, but they're actually saving a lot of desert in India and Africa with these tree projects. What this guy says is the focus should now be on preserving existing forests rather than planting new ones. According to his research, letting existing woodlands expand and mature naturally will offset about 50% more carbon in the long run. So he said that. Why not focus on both, you know, plant some trees and preserve the others. Yeah.

So they said there's three trillion trees in the world. Three trillion? Mm-hmm. That's a lot. Wow. That's almost as much as the... Well, I guess that counts part of the earth's weight. Yeah. It goes, if you got rid of some of this wood, if we got rid of some of these trees, is the earth pretty skinny right now compared to what it was? Mm-hmm. Because when it had dinosaurs walking around on it too? It was a bit heavier then. A bit heavier then. Mm-hmm.

But people are heavier. We're burning up all that oil from the dinosaurs too. Yeah. You think there's more trees or wheels? Wheels? How many trees are in there? Three trillion. Wheels. Wheels. I think it's closer than people think. Though I think a trillion is so much that I think there's more trees. I can't even visualize what a trillion is. Also, no way really to count them. Well, you can use sample sizes, right?

You can estimate. But that would mean everything has to be pretty exact. I mean, wouldn't it be? No, it's on average. That's the whole point of it. Yeah. How big does it have to get to? It's the only way to do it. No, I feel like it's lazy. I think the person counting is, you know, I think I wouldn't be surprised if a bigger man is the one who came up with that. And they were walking around counting.

Counting trees. Because they're more lazy? Yeah. I'm saying he's tired. He found a little shortcut and he goes, they go, let's just go count these trees. And he goes, but I bet if we...

It's in a small sample. They were small sample size. And then now he's sitting in the office. How big does a tree have to be? I mean, is that considered a tree? That's one of the three trillion for sure. But is that alive? Oh, no, that hasn't been alive in a while. Let's see that. Yeah. Yeah. Take a look at that. Do you think you could bring it back? Yeah. Yeah. Let's give it a try. I mean, that's very dry. We'll go ahead and de-plot. You want to pour some water in it? Yeah. Yeah. Let's water it up a little bit. It might run through there. Is that got holes in the bottom?

I think so. It's got a big hole. As I say, I mean, while we're looking, there's dirt all over my... Do you think that's why it died is you watered it and there's a hole in the bottom and all the water just got out? It could be it. It could have been a big part of it. Did you ever... Were you like... Do you remember one time in your marriage, I'll go, where's this water coming from? There's always water on the counter here. Yeah, now that you mentioned it.

I guess so. But maybe you didn't get it a big enough pot to grow it. Maybe. I mean, how can it, you know, maybe it's like, you didn't let me really get out there. Right. I bet the person that gave it to you goes, you didn't read the part, they go, well, obviously take it out of this pot and then put it in. I mean, you may very well be right. Will a tree grow around its surroundings? Like it won't, you know. Yeah, isn't that true? Didn't some, even animals grow in their, the,

They'll be smaller if they're in a small area or bigger if they're in a bigger area? Yeah, I think this pod, though, is designed to be able to just dissolve away. I'm talking about the actual pot. Oh, yeah. Because sometimes I'll start seeds in these things, and then the roots will grow all out the bottom, and they'll start poking out the side. And then you put more soil underneath it? Yeah, or you can just transfer it to a bigger area. Yeah.

It's like they got a little hole. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. I mean, planning is so fun. I mean, it's like, it is like a, like, like social media. Like if you post on social media and you, you work real hard on a video and you post it and then it starts to get likes, you're like, oh, that's super fun. But planning is like that too, but a more delayed gratification where you go out and you plan a bunch of things and then you go out one day and you're like, oh man, these things are growing. And then one day they're like really big. And you're like, this is insane.

It's more of a delayed gratification. But it is so fun to plant things. And then you're getting in the dirt. I could, I mean, I definitely see the, I could find myself more and more getting into this kind of stuff. It's just a matter of the time.

It's a matter of like if I had the time to really do it, you know. That might be a fun thing though. If you could do it one day and then you're on the road for a week, come home and see how it's progressed. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm not going to see like – I definitely – I like the idea of that. I like to have your own food and like eating – you know, if you had –

grow food and learn how to sustain where you could be like, we can eat food. But I mean, it's a commitment. The people that can do this, it's not a... You also have a job to really do it. I mean, you have to...

you have to learn a lot. It's a very, very, farmers, like I said, that's what they do. They don't also do this other stuff because it's just an insane, you're constantly having to learn and how to do this. And it's like staying on top of everything. You got to check it every day. Like if you have own land, even to manage the land, I mean, someone has to be there to like, you know, we were saying like someone, if you bought like a lot of acres, like,

So you bought a thousand acres. I mean, I don't know if you have to like somewhat have an idea of what's going on in that land. It can't just be. I think you can. You can just let it do anything with it. It's got to be active.

Yeah, I mean, a lot of that would just be woods and forest, but yeah, all the open land, you got to cut it or just get out of here. And the sun doesn't rise until 10 a.m. Yeah. It's a night nooner. You got to do a nooner out there with headlights on. There's animals out there, cattle, horses. Maybe you need butcher bucks.

He could use butcher bucks. Some meat. That's good. It's weird to end it on horses, though. Yeah. That is. Yeah. If you want to buy some horse meat, let me tell you where you get it. It's

I should have stopped the cattle. Nate Land Podcast is brought to you by Progressive Insurance. Most of you listening right now are probably multitasking.

And they're the cheapest that you can get with chicken. No, it's the cheapest part of the body? You know, I mean, there may be some gross parts that are cheaper, but it's like- I mean, yeah. Of the good stuff. Of the good stuff. Yeah, that's where it's at. Did you say Kentucky Fried Chicken's now doing chicken pizza? Oh, yeah. Chicken pizza. It's called the Cheez-A. Oh, really? Or the Cheez-A. I bet that's great. Yeah, Cheez-A sounds way better. I bet it's great. Yeah, I'm sure it's delicious, dude. Two 100% white meat.

Extra crispy fried chicken fillets as the base. Zesty marinara sauce, gooey mozzarella cheese, and crispy pepperoni. I mean, I wouldn't mind making that at home. It's a mouth-watering delight. What if...

I don't think you'll make that. No one's making that at home. If you're going to eat that, let me just go to KFC. If you're making that at home, you're probably crying during the eclipse. Well, Dusty grows his own food, though. If you have to, yeah. So you're trying to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner just out of your backyard? Well, I mean, yeah. Ideally, that's the goal.

To do that sort of thing, it is no way to have another job. I have two kids. I mean, there's many times I've grown a bunch of things and stuff like this. I have tomato plants and peppers. And then I leave for five days and I come back home and I ask my wife, did she water the plants? And she goes, oh, sorry. I had so many other things to do. And then I go out there and they're all like-

dead and laid over. It's like, you really do these little things. You got to keep that real moist all the time. And it is hard, but once you get some stuff established, then it, that's the idea of the food forest is that it, everything there is food bearing. Right. So then it's kind of sustains itself. Like,

The woods, nobody's taking care of the woods. They just grow on their own. So the idea is if you could get fruit trees and fruit bearing vines to do this, then

then, you know, because they have, they call it permaculture, whereas like most fields they call monoculture, where it's just, you just grow in one thing. So you got to spray a bunch of pesticides. You got to kill all the animals out there. The idea behind permaculture is that you got so much food growing that if animals come and eat some of it, it's okay. Cause there's enough to go around. Oh, wow. Like bats or something like that. Yeah. Then you got to deal with the animal, like,

when you go out there you tell the deers to get away and yeah you got to be like or maybe word gets around quick or maybe you're living in harmony out there with the deer you go out there the sun shining on your shoulder a bird lands on you you're singing a song who knows there's a lot of deer dude i bet they would eat i bet they could eat a forest in a heartbeat but you know if you i think if you live in an area like mcminnville i bet there's a lot of hunters and uh and i

And I bet they find out. And then that became, you know, because a party for them too. Yeah. Everybody wins. All living in harmony. Yeah. Well, someone's not living in harmony. The deer. Yeah, just gunning them down. It won't be me, but I'm like, I'll come in and I'll go, I'm sorry that was going on. I'm sorry that was happening, guys. You go, what happened? Yeah. That's what you say when the deer comes up. What happened? And then I'll go, well, how much food were you eating out here? Oh, you were eating all of it? Well, that's going to happen. I guess. Let me tell you.

Because y'all having too many kids. Yeah. Don't tell all your friends about this. Do you keep up with- I met a deer from Pennsylvania. I go, how did he hear about this? Exactly. Exactly. Do you keep up with the weather more when you grow stuff, like rain and stuff? No, not really. I mean, I guess you probably could. Like if I got some potted plants and it looks like it's going to really rain, I'll bring them in.

But no, I mean, it's just good when it rains. You're like, now I don't have to worry about watering this. Yeah. I looked up if all the plants went away, died off, how long we would live. Longer than I thought, actually. They said 13 years. Oh, the human species? Yeah. Okay. 13 years. Wow. There's two reasons we would visually die off. One, plants give off oxygen. Photosynthesis doesn't.

All that stuff, which I don't really understand, but... Using the goodness of the sun. We need it to survive. But what would kill us before that is all of the animals that eat plants would die off.

And then we wouldn't have them to eat. And then we would do cannibalism. I guess. Yeah. But it wouldn't be instant, but it would be eventually. Oh, but all the plants. It'd be a pretty wild 13 years. Yeah. Yeah. It'd be interesting. It'd get crazy. Even the plants in the water would be gone too. So all the fish would die. Right. And then they'd die and probably make our water toxic. Would we still do this podcast? Probably the first couple of years of it. Yeah. We'd all get thinner on here. Yeah.

Would we get there, though? We'd be eating reserves of some chocolate somewhere. You know, there's probably some big little Debbie warehouse somewhere. Yeah. Oh, that sounds great. That'd be a first couple years. A big Hershey bar that the government's not telling us about that we all go down and

They scrape off some chocolate. It's like a bread line, but a chocolate line. But then you could just eat unhealthy because you're like, we're going to die in 13 years anyway. Right. See, that's how I'm living my life now. He's also going to die in 13 years. No, but there's a Dollar General by my house. I think about if I got holed up in there during the apocalypse, I'd be all right for a while. Yeah. There's a lot of good stuff in there. Yeah.

Dollar General? Yeah, it's just right next to my house. So I go in there all the time. I'd rather be at a Kroger or a Publix, but if I could be at the Dollar General, I'd be fine. Would you rather be in a Kroger or a Panera Bread? I'd rather be at the Kroger. What about Cheesecake Factory? No, I'm not trying to hang out in there. Idiots go to there.

There's a guy named Andrew Millison. He's on YouTube and he gets – he's the one talking about all these tree planting things and he's into pond building.

And he claims we could save the world, save the whole ecosystem by building more ponds. And doing what with them? Just hanging out? Well, just the ponds themselves create more plant life, create more animal life. All of that creates – and then that helps change CO2 to oxygen. So just – and you can recycle the water. Like if you could pump –

water out of the creek into your pond and then have it filter down. This is what I want to do. Have it filter down into other little ponds and then eventually back to the creek. And you're not even stealing it from that water source, but you're just creating other water sources. Oh, you're just moving the water. Yeah. Because in McMinnville, where I'm at, my creek is fed by a lot of streams coming out of the mountain.

Okay. So there's like these different spots where streams are coming from underground. You're like a beer commercial down there. Yeah. I mean, it's great. How many acres do you have there? It's nine acres. Yeah. I'd like to have more, but that's what I got right now. I'm investigating more. Coming from a mountain. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to get into it. Is there a same amount of water on the planet that there's always been?

Let me look that up. We redistribute it different ways, but has it always been the same amount? I guess, right? I mean, because it just evaporates, it goes into the clouds, and then the rain comes down. Just like typical human body. Earth's all water weight. But I mean, there's places that have drought now, but I guess that water is going somewhere else.

I like that this one, that guy starts with, that's tough to say. He at least admits, this is all just me speculating. He goes, I mean, imagine too, when you read like Cura, what is that called? Cura. Cura. Did we talk about that? You ever pay for that? I always think that. I like it. No one ever pays for it, but it is a really good...

I like Wikipedia, too. I'm never giving them a dime. But this is like... I like this better because it's just like... You ask a question, it's like, come on, I'll talk to you for a second. But then, for a guy to have this answer, you got to think like, is he...

Who has time to give this answer? Is it the guy, the main guy that knows, you know, like who's Mr. Cora? I wouldn't think the guy that really knows his answer is like, I go on Cora quite a bit, answer a bunch of stuff. You don't think like legitimate authorities are hanging out on this website all the time. I can't imagine you have time to also know that. Well, it's a tough one, you know?

Well, this guy says he'd say there's more water on Earth than a billion years ago. And the real reason is meteors. Every day, the Earth is bombarded with about 100 tons of meteors. That's it seems like a lot every day. 100 tons of meteors every day. Most of them grain sized. Almost like it's not even real. While those meteors are mostly rock, there is a fair amount of water in them. And while that water will vaporize in the atmosphere as the meteors burn up, the compound itself remains.

And with the earth just floating in space and zipping through, some of it's got to fall out into space sometimes, right? What? I mean, it's just zipping through space. It's about water? Yeah, water. I mean, you would think some of it would slip right off the planet. Like a splash? Yeah.

I don't get that. Well, you know, I mean, Earth is spinning. Right. And then spinning through the solar system. Right. And then the sun is flying through space. Moving very fast. While all these planets are spinning. And it's like, you would think some of that water would just kind of fly off. Fly off there. Right. Yeah, there would have to be some kind of...

I don't know, gravitational force that would keep everything intact, something like that. I don't know what. When you find it, let me know. But if water evaporates and goes into the clouds, what's to say sometimes it doesn't go past the cloud?

I mean, it does rise. So what's to say it couldn't rise beyond? I mean, genuinely, if it does rise from the water to the clouds, what's to say sometimes it doesn't rise farther? I don't know. Maybe it does. You know what I mean? It keeps going. Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I mean, because it gets this high. But what?

Yeah. But the airplane goes above the clouds. Yeah. Sure does, man. So maybe some water sometimes goes beyond. Dude, I had a plane this weekend. But it can't float up. Storming. Right. Landed. You ever had a plane hit the ground really hard where everybody on the plane screamed? Yeah. You know why they do that? I think, but this is like, if it's real wet-

They hit it to kind of knock the water everywhere so the tires can grab and start. So that's what I remember hearing. So it's intentional. I remember hearing it one time. I don't know if that's true, but the idea of it is to...

You hit hard to just boom, boom. You're not trying to... Because if you land softly, you could skid. It's not going to ever grab. And so you're trying to boom, boom. And it kind of grabs it. Yeah. You screamed? I didn't scream, but everyone on the plane screamed. You're not expecting it. Everybody but you. Yeah, dude. I'm strong. I went...

I think it wasn't a gas. It wasn't a full gas, but it was a, I mean, I reacted to it when you're not expecting, I didn't even know we were landing and then you just boom. I mean, it's shocking. This is what I do. I go, exactly. Yeah. I would appreciate a little, Hey, everybody brace for, you know, everything's okay. Don't brace for impact, but everything's going to be fine, but we are going to hit the ground a little bit harder than we planned on. It's 45 degrees in that, you know, something like that. Let me know. Yeah.

Anyway. All they do is come on and go, oh, we got you here a little faster than we expected. But we do have to sit on the tarmac for an hour. Yeah, but we landed quicker than... Yeah, they love to do that. Yeah, we got you here early, but you'll be late because we'll sit here for longer. That's a great David Spade joke. We talked about how they landed early, they couldn't find a gate. Yeah. Because...

Then we followed this one pilot. He was walking to his plane. And then we were like, but he just left his keys. So we had to keep circling around. I did that a pilot. He goes, is that guy leaving? Are you leaving? You're just asking every airplane. It's like you're in a parking lot. You about to pull out? Yeah. Okay.

I think we need to wrap it up. Nate's got a plane to catch. Yeah, I got a fly. On the road. On the road. Yeah, I

I got to go out to LA today, so that doesn't matter. But I'm doing shows this weekend. Philadelphia. Nice. Then... With the Wawa Arena. What's it called? Wells Fargo. And then Syracuse and Albany this weekend. So come out and then...

Yeah, it'll be fun. I think after that, then we have spring break and then, then it's like nice Boston garden and, and Phoenix, the show is, the second show is adding up, doing really good. So let's keep, if you can't keep pumping out for that special taping, it's going to be great. It's going to be fun. Yeah. I mean,

I'm in Vincennes, Indiana this weekend. Vincennes. In Columbia, Tennessee. Then Tacoma Comedy Club in Helium in Portland. All right. And just added April 6th, Miamisburg, Ohio. That's right outside Dayton at the Plaza Theater. I think there's a lot of folks in Ohio. Nice. April 6th.

I'm in Lincoln, Nebraska, Iowa city, Iowa doing a couple of theater shows. My dad's doing a show in Lebanon. Yeah. I'm gonna try to go. Yeah. Where, when it's April, it's when I take my special April 13th, April 13th. So if you're in Nashville, Capitol theater, if you want to go, if you ever want to go see my dad perform, uh,
