Hello, folks, and hey, bear. Welcome to Nate Land Podcast. Nate Bird gets him back. Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slate. The gang's all here. It's all here. Happy to be sitting next to you, Aaron. Yeah, I missed you guys. I've been across, Ryan. Yeah, a good bit. Yeah. Yeah, you might be next week. Am I out next? Yeah, I'm out next week, too. But then after that, I think you're here for a while. Yeah, I think there's a good stretch after that. Yeah, I'm not trying to not be here. I'm not...

It's I'm not sitting on a lake. Yeah. I hope I think people think I don't know what like I don't know what to tell you. You're allowed to sit on a lake, though, if you want. Yeah. It's you know, we've just been on the road. It's doing shows. I've been, you know.

It's, uh, I'm, I'm usually doing shows last Monday. We were doing a Monday show in Austin, Texas. Yeah. We told people. So yeah, they seem nice about it. Uh, so where are we here now? Special taped.

That went great. It was fun. I was in Phoenix again. It was very cool. I showed you all the opening. I've seen the first cut. The opening looks awesome. I mean, it looks, it's just, it's super cool. Very cool. It looks very, very cool. So hopefully, you know, I love, there was a kid sitting up front and I love that. Also, a guy fell asleep. I don't think we should have even showed him. Kind of even, yeah. They cancel each other out.

You know, this guy was like I could see him. And it's like one of those where you just go, you know, you're like, I mean, we won't show him on the thing, but you could. He was probably a little too much. And he would just be like he was way on board. And I would see him just, you know. Did you see him while you were on stage during the shows? Did you say anything in the moment? Would you have if the show weren't being taped? No, I don't. I try to leave it. Usually I can't. It's pretty hard for me to see.

Yeah, but front row, I feel like you'd notice. That's one for a taping. You're like, well, this is my best stuff. Yeah. Oh, it's a big thing. You know. Yeah. You know. I mean, again, I don't... Yeah. I don't like pointing... It's like usually... I always think if someone's nodding off, if it's obvious, then I would say it. But halftime, if someone's...

Nodding off like that because they've maybe exceeded their limit. I think it's better for them to be asleep. I don't think I need to get them. You know, it's like a kid. Like you're just going like, I'm going to take the least prop. You sleeping is better than me getting you riled up. And that has happened at shows where someone's real rowdy. And then like towards the end of the show, they fall asleep. Yeah. And it's like, all right, good.

Good. Yeah. Yeah. You just, you just look at like, you just evaluate the situation up there and just kind of go like, all right, do I need to address it? I don't want to address it. I mean, I get like, like when I do stand up, it's like, I just want to do my act. Like, it's like, you know, you work hard on this act. So you just want to be like, let me do this present. You know, it's kind of a show, uh, you know, but I mean, we had, we, I think we were posting a clip. Uh, we had out of fly, uh,

keep hitting me in Houston. So, I mean, I had to address that. We had fireworks. I had to address, like, you do have to address stuff, you know, especially in these arenas. Like it's big. The fly, usually because the fly, you can kind of, when you don't have a screen, you can just kind of ignore it and just be like, hopefully no one can really see it. But with this screen, you're like, I mean, they. Did it land on you? Oh yeah. It was like on me and they kept, you know,

Flies are tough. It's tough. That's something that, you know, in arenas, it's like you can always see little stuff flying because all the light is there. And, you know, I don't know. Probably a lot going on in the arena, too. Yeah. Not just comedy. No. I mean, some of these are rodeos. Yeah. You know, you're like, yeah, there's...

So we could put fly things around the mosquito net or what's the zip that goes zip. Oh, a zapper, bug zapper. Bug zapper. Yeah. That could be pretty fun. That would be fun. You just have, you know, everybody. It's like a front porch. It's like a front porch. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just get light up some of these.

Bugs. But yeah, overall. So yeah, the special was great. It was fun. My parents surprised me and they came out. Derek and Abigail were there and obviously Laura and Harper. It was, yeah, it kind of hit the ground running. This was the first one you've done over two nights? Yeah, that I did two separate nights. I think most of this will be from the second, from Sunday night.

I think there'll be a mix. And I think most Sunday night, it's like you just end up being Saturday night was, was awesome too. They can both come from me. I would be fine with either one, but it's, it's, you know, after we do the first night of taping, then the, even the camera guys get better at,

They see me and they see your rhythm and all that. So then Sunday, you're just kind of in a nice groove. The crowd was so great. I mean, yeah, it's fun. I'm excited. Is there more pressure to make sure your hair, clothes, everything looks exactly like? Yeah. I mean, it's like I was wearing black in this jacket. There's not a lot that can mess up the hair. I did. We took pictures and made sure. Yeah.

But, man, it's done. It is done. So I'm excited. I saw your dad the first when you were Saturday. I went to see him in Lebanon. And it was like a big Nate Bargatze. Your buddy Jeremy was there with his mom. Oh, yeah. I was there with my mom. Michael Clay. Yeah. A lot of your friends were there. Yeah, yeah. That's great. Yeah, he sold out. Yeah. Yeah, I think he had a lot of fun. It was great. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah. It's nice that everybody came out.

Is there relief after recording a special? Do you feel like, all right, now I can do whatever? Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, it's funny. It's like the relief, but then you have the panic of like, well, I mean, what if this is the end? What if I stink now? I can't come up. Like, what am I going to talk about? I'm having a hard time thinking about the new hour, like trying to. But I remember you doing the same thing.

after the last one. I know. And I thought I'd be more confident after this one and then you're still just like... Just go sit out by the lake. You know what I mean? Just go sit out by the lake. Come up and it'll come to you. Yeah, yeah. Go sit out. Yeah, it's... You know. This one I have the most time because I don't... I'm guessing the special will come out in the fall. I bet... Or not really fall. I bet it's...

Thanksgiving, Christmas-ish. Uh, so I'm, but that could float around and change. I'm not positive, but so I'll have the most time before I need a new hour. Like I won't need one until, you know, then, but you know, it's like, you don't want to, you know, that special comes out and I'm like, all right, let's start working. You know, it's like, I need to, I want to have it, you know, at least the direction I'm heading, uh,

But it was a nice relief. I was ready to get it done. I was ready to tape it. So, good to go. It's exciting, man. Yeah, yeah. I don't forget where I was this weekend, but somewhere. Houston, you were? Yeah, it was Houston. Man, we had to fly. San Antonio and Houston.

Yeah, the San Antonio shows look fun. Yeah, they were great. It was a theater. Saw everybody wearing cowboy hats and everything. Yeah, yeah. It was fun to go back to theater. San Antonio's who's keeping that look alive. And that's what I like to say. Yeah, San Antonio's a fun spot. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think that fly was thinking? What's going through his mind? 20,000 people. Well, I say it in the...

I might say it in the clip, but I was like, what I said on stage was like the fly just like, where's the horse at? Like it's usually a horse there and he's just confused. Yeah. What if this fly passed out at the rodeo? Yeah. Woke up and he's like, what's going on out here? Yeah. What is this? Yeah. It's this guy. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know. Yeah. I mean, I would wonder those big flies are just tough. I mean, cause they can, you know, they, they, they can land on your head. Like they had that Mike Pence or something that had a fly on it. You can have all this stuff happen where it's like, you're trying not to take anybody out of the situation every now and then you got to do like a, I'll just do a swipe. If I feel it's not a good look. If your whole hair is white, like Mike, it looked real bad. Yeah. Yeah. It looked real bad. Yeah.

Especially if you're a politician too, it seems like weird that flies are landing on you. Yeah. It seems worse. Yeah. And it's tough because it's like, even though-

flies land on everybody. Yeah. It's just that situation. It was a, it was a debate. Yeah. That's not when you want to. Well, and you don't feel it at all, which is, that's the scary part is, are you going to feel it? Yeah. You ever, I get scared up there. Like, what if I'm not, I think I'm trying to be hyper aware about it, but then you're like, what if I'm, you know, what if I don't. You ever get attacked by horse flies?

Uh, yeah. Like swimming in the creek and stuff and they'll just come at you and they bite you a lot. Oh, they're huge. Right. Yeah. And they just, yeah, they just keep coming. They just, yeah. It's like we swim in the creek. You have to go under the water just to get away from them for a minute. Yeah. Yeah. Just to get a breath. Yeah. You got to go under no breath to get a breath. Horse fives are crazy. Yeah. Uh,

It's better to not feel it than for it to be a horsefly on stage. A horsefly would be a problem. You'd have to bring a bat on stage. I mean, yeah. A regular fly is like one thing. Maybe people don't notice it, you know. But a horse, I mean, they're big, dude. I have a tennis racket at home, special one that's like, it's electrified in the middle. Yeah. And it'll zap them as you hit them. Oh, really? It's a lot of fun.

and you have to charge it. No, you just put a double A batteries in there. And it's made for this? Yeah. You can buy this? Yeah, Amazon. 20 bucks, dude. How hard is it if you touch it? I've shocked myself a few times. It gets you. It's enough that you're like, yeah. It's not dangerous. Yeah.

You used to say you used to swat lightning bugs. Yeah, now I'm an adult and I'm doing it with electricity. All right. Would you put it in the bathtub with you? No. No. I just see what you're saying. It'll get you, but it's not enough to put your wristband in the bathtub. I know, but I'm not trying to mess around with it to find out. I wonder how much that would. Is it a certain amount of electricity that you can take a bath with? Let's see. Yeah. It's our next Krispy Kreme challenge. I'll find out tonight and I'll let y'all know. What's the limit? You know?

It could be fun to have one of those, man. You just kind of have it sitting around. Just maybe when someone sits down, you put it right under them. Oh, yeah. This is the one I have right here. Oh, yeah. Battery-powered bug zapping racket. A little Z right in the middle. A little electric lightning bolt. It's a good time. Zap it. Why do they need the electricity? I mean, you're hitting it. I guess it's to make sure. No, it fries them up. Yeah. Yeah.

No doubt. You don't even know what had them. Oh, it's a medium. You got a medium. There's actually a large, too. What's a large? That's if you got a real problem. That's a horsefly. Those are horseflies. You need the XL model. Yeah. 3,500 volts. You'd think that'd be enough. Do you ever just let them land on it? No, I don't like to torture them. I want to put them out of their misery quick. It just seemed like swatting them, though, would...

Do the job. Is it just always on when the battery's in? It detects when something touches it and it zaps it. Oh, so it's always on. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. Does it last a long time? I haven't had to replace the battery yet, but you know, I think the fly's got the message right away. Zap it. Yeah. I mean, it's fun. Can you smell the bugs when they burn?

I don't leave them on there that long. Oh, you take them off? Yeah, you kind of shake them off. Yeah, if they get trapped in there, there's wiring, and then they get fried up, probably. But I shake them off. Yeah. I would think they would hit and go flying. No, they stay lodged in there. So even if you're swinging, they would stay lodged? Because it's all this web of...

electrified metal. And then you just go hit it on the rail outside and just shake it off. Leave the bodies out there for the other flies. Let them know what's up. You ever have one get away? You ever hit one and then it still get away? Not yet. Like a wing. Just got a wing off and you see him kind of spiraling. He's like, up, up, pull up. Like a plane going down. Yeah, not yet.

I was in Fairfield, Connecticut. How many flies you got in your house? It was a problem for a while. Yeah. Oh, this is in the house. In the house, right outside the house. Okay. Yeah. You have several cats. He has a dad raccoon on his porch. I've got some animal problems at the place currently, but I went to like,

Target, Dollar General, and I just bought all the fly stuff that I could find. I was throwing the kitchen sink at them for a minute. They seem to be under control. Spectracide made a good fly thing to get rid of. You hang those little sticky traps. This is by Hot Shop, but it's a Spectracide brand. It doesn't stick to it. They apparently take from it, and then it kills them. Okay.

Oh. So you don't have flies just sticking. It kind of looks like an air freshener. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I'd like to hang up a few of those. Yeah. And then they fly off and then. Yeah. And then they die later. I mean, you put those around the stage and just on screen, you're just seeing. Just flies are just dropping. Yeah.

Just dropping hard. Yeah. I mean, I bet they have those at the rodeo. I mean, a rodeo, it's wild that they'll have a rodeo and then clean it up and like, let's do some comedy. How about a hockey match? You know, it's like, I mean, just bring in a lot of dirt and then they get it out of there. Yeah. Yeah. The production of those arenas is crazy. Yeah. How they switch it up so quickly.

I thought about a fan. I was like, if you could get some kind of fan up there just around you, like blowing a little bit, because doesn't that usually stop them? They can't fly on a fan. Maybe you just have a guy with a Zappit racket. Yeah. Just like one of those guys that get the tennis balls that runs across back and forth. Chase could do it. Yeah, he just stands there and just waits. And I go, look, he'll be coming up quite often. I don't like to address it.

You'll hear it too. When it zaps, it sounds like a gun going off. What a fun special that will be. You're just telling jokes. Here comes a guy. Yeah. That's fun. Zap it. You could call it a special. Zap it. Zap it. Yeah. I don't know if you do a full hour. Probably do a five-minute special. Something like that. This might be an Instagram reel. A tease. Yeah. Yeah. It might need to be under 20 seconds.

But it could be very funny. You're saying Connecticut, Brian, is where you were? I was in Fairfield, Connecticut. First time over to Connecticut. I think even they were a little surprised I came. Just because it's about an hour from New York. So most of the time they get comics from New York to come over. But

I went and they even asked me when I said, I'll come. They said, are you going to be in the area? I'm like, no, but I'll come. So I was there for less than 12 hours. Oh, wow. I got there at a little bit after five in the afternoon for a seven o'clock show. It's not easy to get there. And then. It's not easy. Would you fly to New York or? White Plains. Oh, yeah. And then my Uber put.

pick me up at 4.30 in the morning. So I was there about 11 and a half hours. But it was great. It's a show at a hotel. They set up chairs in the lobby. In the lobby? Uh-huh.

Not even in a room, like a conference room. Nope, it's in the lobby. People could be checking in while it's going on. Yeah, they were. Oh, wow. Did you stand behind the check-in desk and that's where the set was? No, I was kind of facing... They have a curtain that kind of blocks it off a little bit. Not a little bit, it does block it off, but there's a fireplace, like a mantle, and you stand in front of it. Oh, yeah, I like that. There were three comics from New York that were on it, and then...

Then I was the headliner and it was a lot of fun. A lot of folks came out. We had a good time. And you stayed at that hotel. Okay. Yep. How about that? It's kind of nice. Yeah. Your hotel room. Oh yeah. Yeah. You get a gig in the, there was a,

Yeah. I remember just doing a show in a hotel. There's a few. The Harrisburg Comedy Zone is right in the hotel. The Jacksonville Comedy Zone. There's an old clip. You ever see the old video of Rory Scoble doing a show in a hotel lobby? And he's got a wireless mic. And he goes up the elevator and he starts walking around. Oh, that's hilarious. He starts knocking on people's doors and interviewing them. It's fun. I have not seen that.

I think Dustin Chafin just did it recently. Yeah. But yeah, it was a lot of fun. So thanks for everybody who came out. Yeah. I think I remember doing one cause it was crazy. Cause it was like, you just, I mean, you could go to the show could start and you could be up in your, you could be in your room and then you could just go down. You wait to hear the future go up. Yeah. Yeah. Walk downstairs. Yeah.

People see you come out your door and shut it, make sure you lock it, then you come down and walk right on stage. Yeah. Hello. The Wichita Looney Bin, the headliner's bedroom in the condo, shares a wall with the club. Oh, really? So you can just lay... I remember laying in bed and...

And you can hear the feature get brought up and you're like, all right, let's walk out. And you're just in your room. I was laying in bed. Laying in that bed, fighting the depression. That's right. There's also no windows in that condo. Oh, really? You're just in a depressed state. Like I'm about to do comedy. And I remember thinking, you know, I don't look out windows that often, but when you don't have a window, you'd like a window. Yeah.

I, yeah, I've not even told before I had a hotel in Austin, Texas and the window, only window I had showed the inside of the lobby. Cause it was like in, you know, it was like one of those embassy suites. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, I couldn't, I had to switch. I like got claustrophobic. I was like, I don't think I can do this. Like, you know, just not having, not seeing the outside. Yeah.

Yeah, it's like solitary confinement. Yeah, I was like, I can't. I got to go see. Yeah, the sun's good for you. We need it. We need to see it. We need to see it. Yeah, I think it's kind of crazy when the hotels do. If you got rooms, I guess you're betting that some people do not care. Or maybe you like looking inside because you like seeing people walk around and all that. I don't know if I've ever seen that at a hotel. Like the Auburn Light Hotel has that where you can look out in the...

Your window. But they have another window to the world, right? This hotel is like you walk in, so there's rooms to your right. And in the middle, there's a square courtyard that's the lobby of the hotel. So the hotels in the middle, their window looked inside the hotel. And so you weren't, you know. But if you're on the other side, you would see outside. Yeah, I don't like that. Which is a prettier view. Yeah.

Honestly, I mean, like you kind of the view yard can be better than a parking lot. Yes. Yeah. But I'd like to be able to tell what time of day it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think you could do it if you were in like Florida where they had the an open ceiling or something like that. But the Wichita Looney Man, the only view is the other comics that you're looking at. You're not even looking at a lobby.

And if one of them are bombing throughout the weekend, it's just an awkward hang. Yeah. Yeah. It's tough. Yeah. Cause y'all are on the same room. Well, same condo. It's a three bedroom condo. Yeah. Like the headliners room is huge. Then the features room is a little, little smaller. And then the host room is a tiny, barely big enough for the bed to be in. Yeah. It's like a brick wall room. It's dark and musty in there. Yeah. Yeah.

I like that they're different sizes. Yeah. They let you know. There's something to work up to. There's a hierarchy to this. I did a triple feature weekend there and I showed up. I was the last one to get there. So I had a tiny room. And then the other...

The guy who got the headliner room was bombing all weekend. I was really doing the best. You're like, we should switch. And it was pretty awkward that it was like the guy bombing all weekend has got the big headliner room. Yeah. I'm having good shows and I'm in this tiny hole. Yeah. He's got the private bathroom. You got to share one with the other guy. Yeah. Yeah.

I was in Atlanta this weekend at the Punchline. Six shows. One of them sold out. Which was very fun. I've never seen a sold out show there. The other five were very much not. But that one show was great. Honestly, all of them were fine. Except one was very weird. It was barely a show. It was kind of me just...

They go, just go talk to these people. That's what it felt like. Thank you. A lot of people came out. A lot of people gave gifts. I want to give a shout out to Nancy Samples Johnson brought a ton of stuff for all of us. She was at the show. Oh, Nancy Johnson. Yeah. Yeah. She came to see you, I think. And she's great. And just. And Reg Griffin came to see you. Reg Griffin did come. Yeah. Yeah. We're starting to.

Know all these people. Yeah. Which is fun. Crowds are great. Thank you to everybody that came. Atlanta, what a town. We stayed right next to this little league ballpark. So Matt Taylor, who I brought with me, we got some gloves and we walked out there and just threw the ball around. And, you know, we're two guys in our 30s.

There's all these kids playing baseball. And I, and I sailed the ball over his head by accident and it rolled into some kids taking batting practice. And the dad looked over and was like, what are y'all doing? Yeah. And we got pretty embarrassed and just went home. Yeah. That's tough. Where were you pitched? Where were you at?

You were in the outfield? There was one field that wasn't being used, so we just walked out there in the outfield and were throwing the ball around. And then how did you throw it? You threw it into another field? I threw it over his head, out of the field. It rolled into the batting cages where the kids were taking BP. But where were y'all standing throwing? Why would you? Pole to pole. It was a small tee ball field. Oh, so you're throwing. We were doing long toss. Long toss. Doing too much. I don't like that the dad looked at you like that.

like that though it's like you are out there pitching the ball it's not like you're out there you know causing trouble yeah well we were I mean we were throwing the ball into kids trying to practice they're doing stuff that 18 year olds do yeah and they're you know and like I mean it looks like he could have a kid out there I should have a kid out there how old I am yeah

And so the dad's like, are y'all like, you know, he's like, come on guys. Yeah. And we're like, all right. I mean, I agree with you on some level. We're not really causing problems, but it's weird that we were out there. You're not causing problems. No one notices, but then once the ball comes over, cause then you're like, you know, I'm good enough to keep it in the field. Yeah. Well, you got to blame Matt. How hard did you get? I'm going to blame Matt. You gotta, you gotta run. Should he have called it? I mean, he's a shorter guy. If he were the height, he should be, he would have called it. But yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, good times. Thank you, Elena. I had a hot week. I went down to Florida. I got a picture taken of me out in the wild, and I was wearing a shirt, and people have been harassing me about it. But I was on my way to the show. But I went to Pensacola. Wait, what? Well, you're wearing a shirt. Oh, you're wearing a shirt. Yeah. Because you say you like to go shirtless in Florida. I do, but it's still – it was April. We're not peak season yet. It's not real hot. What was it? Those were the 80s. But if you go inside a –

building you have a shirt on. Yeah, but I was outside. Yeah. But I was going to the show, but I just want to address that. You know, I do get shirtless out there, but not every second of the time. Yeah.

But I did a show in Pensacola, college gig. And I guess, I don't know, college students weren't showing up or whatever. So they just started selling tickets, which they're not really allowed to do with the deal, but they did. And so I found the link and I started sharing it. Turned out to be a good show. Then I did two shows, Thursday, Friday, Panama City Beach. Beach is comedy club, a new club in town. And then the other one was Captain Anderson's

seafood restaurant. I don't know if they have a performance space. Both sold out great hot shows. I've not been to Panama city in like 20 years. My, my dad met his wife there when I was 15 at the Fontaine blue hotel. I drove by it's still there still looks the same. You went up down the strip. I did, but it was the Fontaine blue. Yeah.

Is that how you say it? I think so. Isn't it the Fountain Blue? I don't think so. You know what I'm talking about? It's like a nice hotel. I have no idea. It's spelled F-O-N-T-A-I-N-E. Yeah, it might be Fountain Blue. I think it's like French or something. I doubt anybody's saying it right. Yeah. There's one in Vegas that I think is like empty. It's supposed to be like a five-star hotel.

It's supposed to be a big, big, nice hotel. The one in Miami, I think is, yeah, it's like a five. I think it's a real deal. It's spelled like that. Five-star hotel. Yeah, but like a space in between Fontaine and Blue. Yeah. But you can look that hotel up too if you want it. And then we could just go ahead and clear this whole thing. Sorry. Sorry to interrupt. That's okay. All right.

I mean, I don't, Fontainebleau. Oh, maybe it is one word, but yeah, I'm sorry. But I would say it's still the Fontainebleau is what I would call it. But, you know, it could be wrong. Nobody was at the front desk back then correcting you. Right. Yeah. And they may be, but I wrote up down the strip a little bit, but this was a Thursday night. It was not the same strip. I remember, I mean, when I was down there in like the late nineties, early two thousands, I mean, it was packed.

I mean, cars both ways. We're just riding, yelling at each other, the music blaring, people probably doing a lot of underage consumption. And it's just a real party, you know? Beads and it's like, it was not like that. It's nice to see. It's a little cleaned up. And as a sober married man, I'm happy to see that it was like a nice family beach down there now.

Yeah. And then I went to Tampa, Florida to the Tampa Theater. Sold out. But it was great. It was hot. Very hot show. How much time did you do? I did about an hour and 20 minutes. Okay. That theater is awesome. It is awesome. Very old theater. Yeah. Yeah. So awesome. And yeah, it was hot shows. I did the show of Fallon there. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Yeah, it was sold out enough that before the show had sold out on the marquee out there. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. Yeah. Yeah. So it was awesome. Yeah, that's a really cool theater. That's a good theater you could shoot a special in. Yeah. It's very old and very like got a lot of character. Like the ceiling is like that kind of light blue, like it's almost the sky. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's an awesome one, dude. Yeah, it was good. It was a hot week. Yeah.

Yeah. It's like another kind of like- You did a very variety of places you did shows. A triathlon of shows. We did a college club. A beautiful theater, a college, and a seafood restaurant. Yeah. That's kind of you in a nutshell. But all great shows. I mean, the Beaches Comedy Club is like brand new, like four weeks old. Like the stage looked like a deck. It was like the front, like it built like a deck. Oh, yeah.

And, uh, but it was, it was hot. It was great. One of my old spectra side bosses came out and we hung out and it was one I liked. And, uh, yeah, we hung out on some picnic tables. He's still doing it. No, he works similar job, but a different, different company. Oh. And I ran into a Scott's rep outside of the, uh, Tampa. We took a picture outside of the Tampa theater and, uh,

I still felt a little hate for the guy. You know, I don't even know him, but he worked for the competition. Just out of loyalty to Spectre. So, yeah, we joked about it a little bit, but deep down, I was like, I'd like to tear down this guy's display. Yeah. How do you know the display up? No, but I mean, that's what I used to do. He's got one somewhere and I wanted to go to a Tampa Lowe's and just tear down a Scott's display. Just how do you know he was wearing a uniform? He's wearing a Scott shirt. Yeah.

Did he come to your show? He said he was. I didn't see. I actually saw him outside of my hotel. Yeah. So. And Scott's was the number one. Is this a little bit like a David and Goliath situation? Yeah, for sure. Except in this, you know, David is not like a righteous man. Spectracide being still a bad company. You know, it's like almost like a Goliath and like a little Goliath. Yeah.

You root for the little guy. Yeah. You're like, yeah, the underdog. Because you're the David in this story, so it's okay. Yeah. To some degree, I guess. But they won, though. In this story, they won. I mean, in the end, Scott's wins. They actually, Bayer, which is the even bigger company, which owns like Bayer Aspirin, I think merged with Scott's. So they became like the ultimate company.

you know company they're doing stuff outside your body inside your body yeah yeah yeah they got yeah they got all the money yeah they got everything Bayer was like seemed like a little company even though their their their umbrella company was probably the biggest of all of us but they were like a small company that's funny if you went to their headquarter you know and you're like I have a headache that's what we do yeah and then you start talking about weeds he's like

I'll get you something for that too. He goes two cubicles over and he's like, let's get some weed stuff. Yeah. We got the stuff that's probably causing that headache. That's toilet paper too, isn't it?

I don't know about that. I don't think. No, I said. Oh, is this the same? Scott. Oh, okay. I thought you were talking about Bayer Toilet. Yeah, I thought you were. I've never heard of that. I've never heard of that either. Scott is. I'm taking it wrong. It's like an old. They're tied in with Monsanto. Monsanto owns Roundup. Okay. And then the Scott's reps repped Roundup. Monsanto is doing good stuff, right? I don't know. No, I was kidding. I was kidding. I don't think. eBay Motors is here for the ride.

That looks legit. Does he take it off their head? Maybe. No, it was in a little bag. Yeah, it was in a little cellophane bag. It looks a little used. It also looks good. I think that's what it's supposed to be. Yeah, you don't want a fresh Western. I'm wearing all masters. I went to the masters just on the Thursday. I haven't been here since I've been back. How was it? It was awesome.

Yeah. And you walk around. I wanted to see the holes. So it was, I got to watch. I saw Tiger and he was playing with Jason Day. And like, I went and saw some, Scotty Scheffler. Scotty Scheffler, again. No one cares about golf, but.

If you're into greatness, this guy is on. It's ridiculous right now. Quite a tear he's on right now. Yeah. I mean, it's tiger-like of just, I mean, this dude won like three in a row or four out of five. I mean, crazy.

And so... Had you never been to Augusta? No. Oh, wow. No, Scott is a great... I haven't met him, but I mean, he seems like a wonderful person too.

But no, so I wanted to kind of see the holes because it was like, well, you see them on TV. And so you're like, let me go. I want to kind of see what they look like in person. Amen corner. Yeah, yeah. And yeah, it was awesome. I bought some sunglasses and they were like special master sunglasses. Lost them within an hour. And man, that bummed me out. They were... How'd you lose them? They were just... I had to buy...

like a hat. To be honest, I was getting... I get recognized a lot out there. Because I went out there first, I did not have a hat. I did not really think about it. It was a lot. And everybody was always nice, but it was... So it was like, all right, well...

I need to, so I had to go. About like a Groucho Marx mask with a big nose. I had to do something. It was very funny. The cop, there's a cop that goes, he needs to, you need to get a hat if you want to walk. So I go, we were going to get stuff anyway. So I bought like a hat that covers your head.

years and then had these sunglasses like a hat with a little like a bucket hat oh okay oh yeah you know it was like i don't know what that is bucket season you know what a bucket is like a like a popeye yeah oh yeah yeah yeah somebody you were like popeye wear a bucket hat kind of but it's a little bucket okay so something like that you know uh

And I was like, yeah, I don't really wear those. But I was like, you know, it was, the sun was out. It was very windy. And then I had this thing that I had them sitting on top and then they, they just must've fell somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. It's tough. I was, I was bummed out. I really liked, they were, they were numbered. It was the number 45. So there, which is my age. And so you could buy certain, you know, they're only made like 200 of them.

So if anybody's getting Masters sunglasses at number 45, you can have them. You can have them. I don't need them back, but just let me know they're in good hands. Just know where they came from. Yeah. And don't mistreat them. I saw some people commenting on Jason Day's attire. Yeah. Was that a thing? Yeah, the company he's...

Malbon or I have some shoes, but it's, it's very loose fitting kind of clothes. And so he was wearing that and he had one that looked like Marlboro. It might've even said, it might've said the name of the thing, but I think they told him not to wear that.

They were like, you can't wear, you can't wear like, you know, with being Augusta, they don't want it to be that flashy. That marble, that Malbo, it's Malbo. That one, they told him no. I think he had it on and they were like, you got to take it off. Yeah, I can see that. But it's, yeah, it's very loose. I guess.

it's loose closer than what's, what's cool now. I don't know. Yeah. Skinny jeans are out. They're saying, and now it's like, you know, you're back to looser jeans now. Yeah. Yeah. I don't. Yeah. So that's what people are saying. I don't know. All right. So you guys comments, uh, Alicia Holder.

I tried for a long time to get into podcasts. Literally could not get into anything for very long. Then I started binging Nate Land after TikTok had me dying. Now I'm hooked. I love each and every one of these guys. From Nate's comedic genius, Brian's awkward sweetness, Aaron's quick...

witness witness witness wittiness to Dusty's conspiracy theories thank you for making our Wednesday much more fun and keep it up guys well you can appreciate my comedy some yeah well look at mine comedic genius awkward yeah sweetness yeah sweetness is nice mine are not even really theories I mean yeah come on guys it's something though something it is I appreciate you thank you Alicia thank you Alicia

Matt K.,

I'm not even 30 seconds into the Eclipse episode, and I just wanted to say thank you for the best Nate Land ever. This is a heavy hitter episode. It was a fun episode. Just good chemistry with who was there. Nobody holding us back. It's like we clicked. It took us two to replace you. Well, I did see that. I saw you say that. I appreciate that. And I want to say I missed that I didn't get to race you guys. I saw you guys had a race, and I'm like...

I mean, I at least could have got third place. You know what I mean? Yeah. That would have... Okay. I think people would like to see you run. Yeah. I think we got a comment about that coming up. Derek Jones. Shout out to the video team. Great looking Eclipse episode. Yes. Y'all did great. Y'all did. It really looked awesome. Huh? I guess. Well, I mean...

Our backs were to the sun. We had to turn around and look at it every time the eclipse. And then I texted, I'm joking, but I texted with Tristan and I said, Tristan, now that I see how good it looks, I know why y'all did that with those bleachers behind us. And he goes, actually, we thought the sun was going to go the other direction. Yeah.

which is so funny yeah but honestly i'm kidding they're great yeah the lighting and it looked awesome it did what the sun's gonna do during the yeah no no i think that's the whole point is we know precisely what it's gonna be to the second we know what it's yeah it was like i it was very cool look to see it see a good dark on yeah uh the screen and yeah i mean it was that was fun what were you doing hunger down

No, I, you know, I was just living my life and, uh, I did go away and, uh, and then, you know, I, I did go out at one point. I was like, it seems weird outside right now. I was like, what's going on out here? Did you forget? I forgot the eclipse. Yeah. And then I put on, I had, I didn't have any kind of eclipse glasses. So I put on two pair of sunglasses and looked up at the sun and I was like, oh, the eclipse is happening. Yeah.

And then I kept, I had to. But why did you, if you didn't know the eclipse was happening, why'd you put two sunglasses on? Well, once I saw how weird it was, I was like, oh, maybe the eclipse is happening. Yeah. And then I looked at it and then I was like, Hannah, look at it. And she's like, I've already tried to look at it. It hurts my eyes. And then we just went back to moving rocks. Yeah. We were moving rocks around. Yeah. I didn't want to give, you know, any praise. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

But you saw it. Yeah, I did see it. Yeah. I did see it. It's like the Scots. And it is pretty. Yeah, exactly. It's like the Scots. You're like, I know you're there. I know you, you know. Yeah. But I don't really want to acknowledge it. I don't want to acknowledge it. Yeah. I don't want to give you any praise. Yeah. Lance Wallace, great Eclipse episode. Warren and Chris are definitely top four guests. What I appreciated most was the amount of awe and wonder directed at John's thumbs compared to the Eclipse.

Love that you guys are keeping it real. Well, reading that, I appreciate that about you guys. You're like, you know, you don't care about the eclipse either. You're like, look at John's thumbs. Yeah, I'd never seen thumbs like that. Yeah, we've never seen them. What did it do, bend back a lot? Yeah. Bend back at a 90 degree angle. Yeah, it took a hard turn. Wow. Yeah. What do you think that's all about? You know, probably the eclipse. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, he was normal. He's some kind of shit shifter. His thumbs followed the eclipse. I knew there was something about John. Probably reptilian. Yeah. It's like how plants move with the sun. Yeah.

Matthew Hawkins. I got an interview for a high school principal job. My wife's first words were, that's going to be during the eclipse. Fast forward to the interview, we paused to go outside where I find myself staring at the sun in a suit with seven strangers. At the end, the superintendent said, well, that was anticlimactic, to which I juggling applied, me or the eclipse.

No one laughed, and I had to go back in and finish the interview. That's a good joke. That should have gotten a laugh. That should have gotten a laugh. That is a good joke. I don't know if you got the job, Matthew, but if you didn't, it's a blessing in disguise. Yeah, you don't want that. You want to be hanging around those people every day? I'd like an update, though, Matthew, if you want to comment. Let us know, did you get that job?

That's a solid joke. And those high school principal, I know just because that's what my family does. Those are big. Those job searches are like big endeavors. Sometimes they take a long time. A lot of people are being interviewed. So, yeah, keep us updated, man. That's big. This is probably for the fall, I'm guessing. Yeah. Yeah. Or maybe even farther out. And also, what did that?

expect? What did the superintendent expect was going to happen? Has he ever seen an eclipse before? Well, it sounded like just how you described it for yourself. Yeah.

Anticlimactic. I don't know what he wanted. He wanted probably more fire. Yeah. He thought it was going to fall out of the sky or something. He thought the earthquake was coming. That's why he was like, yeah, I'll do the job. Yeah, that is kind of. That would be. But someone that would say that, I guess, wouldn't get a joke either. Yeah. Yeah. Because he's saying, well, that was anticlimactic. You're like, what are you? You know, is it?

Something that doesn't happen every now and then. You're like, I don't know what else. Too much stuff going on in this world. You should be impressed by something. How old was the superintendent? Probably old. Maybe he's been through a lot of them. Yeah.

That could be. Yeah. And we also don't know where Matthew lives. It could have been just a very partial eclipse. Yeah, where it wasn't. Yeah, it weren't in totality. Yeah. It's weird, though. It was like, I just remember the day I was just out there, and I'm like, it seems so weird out here. Like, the light, I was like, just seems weird. Did you hear bugs more? I didn't really, but I just was like, why is it so weird out here? You totally forgot about it?

Well, I was doing stuff. I got out there and I got to work. And for some reason, I thought since you guys were traveling to do it, then I wouldn't even see it. Like, you know, because you were traveling. I thought you had to go to where you could see the eclipse. Well, I think it was pretty cloudy here. Or was it? Could you? I saw it. I was able to look up. Yeah. Were you in McMinnville? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, I think if we would have stayed here, we wouldn't have really seen it. We went to a really good spot. Yeah. Okay. Nick Elizondo.

Might be right. Nate saying he would be 65 at the next eclipse and Aaron responding with you'd be the same age as Brian now. Did not get the attention it deserved. Hilarious. Yeah, that was a solid joke. Yeah. Thank you, Nick. Yeah. Good job. Looks like Elizondo. This might sound crazy.

Looks like a woman's last name. Yeah, it does. Maybe it's Nikki. Does that feel? Would it be Elizonda? Well, like because of like Alicia. Yeah. Yeah. Elizabeth. I'm just saying.

For that last name, I think the women look better than the men. Maybe it is Nikki. Maybe it's Nikki. It may be. Yeah, maybe it's a... I was driving back from Atlanta last night with my wife, and we drove past an Ambassador Inn, a big neon sign for the Ambassador Inn, and the R was out.

and we're driving and Lucy goes the ambassado in that sounds so great ambassado what would it be ambassador oh ambassador yeah ambassado genuinely like yeah ambassado yeah yeah uh thanks for letting us get a taste of your life yeah uh

A glimpse, I think. That's funny. No, I'm joking. It's nice to everybody at home get to, you know, they go, what's a Lucy Aaron car ride like? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the kind of hijinks we get into. The one time we talked the whole ride. Took their ear. It was one of three or four times. Yeah. You could ride quiet in a car. Because you're watching West Wing, right?

No, I mean, Matt Taylor, the other comic, was with me. So Lucy sat in the back and kept to herself. Yeah. And she poked her head in to say ambasado and laughed, and then she went back to her. Yeah. Heather B., after seeing Bean dip, we're on the 40-yard dash. I think we may have to revisit a debate that he would blend in better on a soccer field than Dusty Wood in the pool. Yeah, that's what I've been saying the whole time. Nobody, it's insane that the argument even went this far.

No offense to Brian. No, no, no. Yeah, the majority of the comments, even though I didn't... Nate had a pretty good run, I'll say. I mean, you won, right? Nate did win. John would have beat me. He... John ran... Yeah, it's... Brian's run is, you know, it's... You can really see him get going.

I'm trying 110%. There is something going on with your shoes, though. It feels like you're running on. I mean, it looks like his upper and lower body are not the same person. Yeah. And so he's like, it looks like he's on a ride. He's trying to make you go, but the lower body won't go. He looks like me cranking that thing. Yeah, he's cranking it. And he's like, well, why is mine not going as much? And everybody's like, I don't know, maybe it got stuck or something. You should have took your shoes off for the ride.

Well, a lot of people, yeah, a lot of people comment I was wearing clown shoes. And we're all wearing jeans too. Aaron looked good running out. But Aaron pulled up right there. He does like a little ankle fold maybe or something. Something gave. About two seconds in, I thought I'm going to fall. And I just didn't want to fall on camera. Greg Warren's run scares me though. He looks like I would not want to fight Greg Warren.

I mean, look at that guy. He runs on the wall. Yeah. Yeah, man. Still, what everyone say, a D1 athlete. That guy looks like he. I mean, D1. Yeah. So. It's not a pretty run, but he looks like he would. No, but it's a serious run. It's an intense run. He would beat you to death. He's running somewhere. John got off to such a slow start. When John started running, we kind of all laughed because we thought he was jokingly running slow. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. He re-raced. Right after that, he raced his girlfriend. And it was like 5-5 the second time. Now, he would have... Yeah. Well, he took off too slow. Yeah. Well, John played sports in college, too, I think. Another... Yeah, but not D1. D6 or whatever. Yeah, they're barely a college. No, I think Sanford's... Are they D1? I'm kidding. I don't know what they are. Yeah. I don't think they're D1. They might be D1. Yeah. I mean, it's tennis, so they're probably... They're on the backside of D1. But... Yeah. Yeah.

It's not. I think wrestling above is. I think Missouri D1 wrestling is above Sanford tennis. Oh, completely. And Greg was an All-American. Yeah, and he excelled. It's crazy. Yeah. So, Dusty, where do you think you would fall in this? We were all between six and seven seconds, which is. I think I can get below six. I think so, too. How far was it?

40 yards. 40-yard dash. It's what's called the 40. 40-yard dash. I have no idea, but I saw this and I was like, I would have wanted to participate in this. So basically, you just think you can beat me and Brian. Well, for sure. I think I could have beat Greg, too. In a race, not a fight. Okay. I just want to make that clear. As bad as I looked, I thought I might lose by two seconds to everybody. We were all within a half a second of each other.

Yeah, I think when the four-year-old dad said a half second means a lot more than...

I mean, there can't be. If you're two seconds behind, you're like, I mean, we're not. Now, if they showed up and Brian, he goes, you ran an eight. You're like, God, you wouldn't even know. I didn't know until we did it. I'm like, because I ran it. I see the scores. Yeah. I think Rich Eisen just did it this weekend. He did 6.25. Oh, really? So he would have been right in there. Yeah, he'd been right in there. Greg would have beat him. The Rich Eisen run the 40. That's my favorite. Oh, Greg beat John. I didn't see it.

Oh, he runs at every NFL draft in a suit. His logo is my favorite logo of anybody.

Because it's him running the 40 in a suit with his tie, so it's a silhouette of him. Oh, that's fun. And he does it every NFL draft. It's my favorite logo because I just love the idea. I think I've been on his show. I told him. But, I mean, it's such a – Oh, that's great. It's the best logo. It's just perfect. It's just him in a suit running a 40-yard dash. What kind of time does he get? Well, he just did 6.25. Yeah.

I thought he always did during the combine, but he did it this weekend. I thought he did during the combine, too. Maybe I'm wrong. What's the fastest 40? 4-2. Someone might just run a 4-2-1. Maybe a 4-1. Supposedly, Bo Jackson, I think, could have ran a 4-1, something like that. 4-2-1. This year, 4-2-1. Yeah.

Man, broke the record 4-2-2 set by John Ross in 2017. Yeah, we had Chris Johnson. He came to the Titans 4-2-4. That's so fast, dude. It's so fast. It will be fun to see if you see someone get under four in our lifetime. I mean, that's a lot of time to take off. So that's what I mean, those half seconds. But to get to 4-0,

I mean, that's crazy. It probably will happen. I think it could happen. Don't you think Usain Bolt could have if he chose to? No, because I think he would have done it. I mean, it's just such a short amount of time to run that it's, you know, it's, man, it would be, that's so fast. Under four seconds is, if someone is like a 3.9, I mean, can you? Yeah, that's insane. I mean, that's so much faster than 4.21.

But I remember reading about the first guy to break the four minute mile. It was like a lot. Roger Bannister. Once he did it, like a ton of people did it. Jez, poster on your wall. Right next to Chuck Yeager. Yeah.

so once somebody breaks four seconds that's the famous story though of how it's a mental thing and once somebody does it then a lot of people can flood gates open yeah and we'll be running you and i we're more in the five ring i mean this brought back a lot of memories of on the playground some kids like we're gonna race and i'm like oh gosh this is gonna be embarrassing i'm sorry no it is what it is yeah you did your time uh

Were you in last? No, I was last. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty embarrassing. Yeah. This is the awkward sweetness we've been hearing. Yeah. Yeah.

Mountain habit? MT habit? Brian ran like a kid on the pool deck who had been told that no running is allowed. There is something about the run that you're doing, and I just don't feel like you run that way. I've never seen you run. No, I don't think you do. Okay, I mean, maybe, but... Even if I didn't have the clown shoes on, that's basically the way I run. Yeah. No, I think, well, it's the genes, too, are constricting. It just feels like there's something going on, though. Yeah, that's... You're like...

Like you're running. I mean, he looks like he's in full pain. Like the hot, the floor's hot. I mean, I haven't tried to run as fast as I could in who knows, 30 years. Let me ask you, when's the last time you sprinted? Look at that face, dude. I know. You are feeling it. And were you sprinting for a reason? Like were you running from something or were you? Once in a while, I'll run a little bit on the treadmill, but not very long. Not a sprint. Sprint those. As fast as you can. I've tried to run pretty fast on it before. Yeah.

But a sprint is really on the ground. I mean, you're not running a sprint on a treadmill. I would say it's been 10 years since I've really done a sprint. About the same. Because I remember when I stopped drinking, I was riding my bike a lot and I was running some. And I remember doing some full-on sprints. Sprinting's fun, you know.

Yeah, it was fun. Because there's a thing you could do like a run where it's like, it's supposed to help lose weight where you run as fast as you can and then walk for a little bit and then run as fast as you can and then walk. And it's like supposed to get the heart rate up and then down, up and then down. It's supposed to burn fat. Interval training or something. Yeah. I think anything on a treadmill will help. Uh,

Well, this was on the ground. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we can do another track and field competition or something. And that's a shoot in there. Let's add the pool in. Add the pool. Yeah. Yeah. We'll do a try. Yeah. We'll do a whole. Not a whole one, but like a short triathlon. Yeah. We'll do it. Yeah. We know what? I'm going to be off this summer or calm down. We're finding a good day to get it going. Get a go little. Yeah. Fun little thing for us. Yeah.

Adam Baltz Baltus Baltz Coming from track and field Aaron had the best form off the line and getting up to speed I agree with that

If he got down to Nate's BMI, he'd crush that competition. Thank you, Adam. I think you did. You had that. If this were a 10-yard dash, I think I'd. No, the hiccup in the middle. That's what I'm saying. If it were shorter, you would have won. It's right there. Look how you go on your foot. Your foot turns. Right?

Right here. Yeah. Right here is your, your, your, you go and that's once you do it, you hit that. What do you think happened? And if you're a, I didn't want to fall down. I thought, yeah, right here. He goes, he goes, and then once you go there, I dip a little bit. That, that, that was the point.

yeah i mean that's just it's that he's like where it's like where you almost fall where you step yeah you step so low like you end up going your body just sinks where you don't see a curb or something yeah that's what it is yeah you miss yeah that's you that's what happened to you so if you if you just listen to this podcast all this is on our social media yeah um running the 40 you can go watch it uh

Alex R. Smith, quick recap. The pain and bubble in Bumble had on his face was felt through the screen. It is. Your face was, I mean, yeah, just like, golly. I'm trying so hard. Like, you know, your run is like in a movie.

when they show godzilla like you're one of the you're the first person they show fool on the screen that gets killed like it's that run and this like that you know to show you some bad like you already see because there's masses of people that are like god they get stepped on yeah and you're the one that's like you know you got to pray a part in the movie right you've been shown yeah but you're not a main part in the movie and you're that face and you're you know like the lawyer in jurassic park

You know the lawyer that gets eaten by the T-Rex pretty quick? They're trying to humanize this tragedy a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You're like, and that's the face that he's running. Yeah. Aaron's hamstrings look like they betrayed him about 10 yards in. That's true. John looks like he was out for a jog. Nate had surprisingly fast dead speed. Appreciate that. And Greg was moving. Beautiful form. Smooth as jiff. All right. Thank you.

It's a pretty good recap. Chase Newman. What are Aaron's thoughts on California's considering banning clear in its airports? Was it you that sent me this? Yeah. Yeah.

I said, yeah, it's exciting. I'm sure they're doing it for the wrong reasons, but I'm glad that it's happening. You don't like it? No, I'm glad that it's happening. You don't like Clear? I don't like Clear. But I don't know why they're banning it. I find only once in a while is Clear actually helpful. I mean, like...

So many airports. I thought it was because PreCheck, they open PreCheck up while it's just open. Yeah. And so like they started letting people through and that line can be pretty crazy. So if you get PreCheck and Clear, you just get to go boop. I did it in, where was I? Cleveland recently where Clear was pretty helpful. Yeah.

But most like Nashville airport clear slows me down. I mean, it's like PreCheck's wide open. My, the biggest annoyance with PreCheck in Nashville is like the circus that they make you walk through to get there. Yeah. You would think lines would change. We haven't really had a line change. Like, you know, like why are we not sitting in some of these colleges on the line? Fix the line problem. Fix the line problem and just life change.

Because it's always back and forth.

Yeah. Why do they even do that though? Why is a snake more efficient than a straight line? Well, because you can't have them standing all the way out. But it's like you need to have it be able to move and be, you know, I guess they just need to open it. Because when it's, you know, half the time it's like, all right, dude, don't make us go through 15 things and there's no one there. So like someone needs to be, yeah. And so maybe a little more mechanical where you can open it up, you

You know, because, I mean, these people need to, you know, somebody that needs to go, you know, sometimes because they're pulled a strap over and then it's like. Yeah. Yeah. In Nashville, they have the strap, but they also have like these metal, like metal ones. So you can't really just kind of pop it out and move through. And it's almost double to where you can't duck under it. Yeah. It's a real contraption that they got. Yeah. It's like, come on, guys. There's no one in this line. Yeah. Yeah.

Let us walk. Yeah. You got to just be kind of aware of the line. Like someone's kind of monitoring the, you know, it's just like, you know, with all the people you think you have, like someone's job is like, Hey, just kind of make this outside experience flow.

And be, you know, and just kind of be, all right, like I'm watching the lines. You know what? We don't need it. Maybe we do need it now. And then we lock it back up. And, you know. Nashville baggage claim is the worst. The airport, it's like the check-in. It is especially bad. It's so slow. I go all over the country getting bags. It's so slow. And then it comes out and like, I don't know where people are at to get their bags.

They're not there. It's so slow and they're still not there. This time I was in there and the bags kept getting backed up and bags were being dumped off the side because they were getting clogged up. And like, I had to jump into the thing and pull some bags out because I'm like, I'm waiting on my bag. And then you get these priority stickers on your bag. And it's like, your bags are supposed to come out first. But in Nashville, they're like, who cares? And it's like,

I got a priority thing and my bags like last. And I'm like, what's going on here? Priorities. Well, if you, yeah. If you're like a status. Yeah. They were put. Yeah. Yeah. I don't do that on Southwest. I'll tell you that. We get to check them for free. That's the trade off. Yeah. Business select. I check free. Nothing with baggage.

I get two free check back. With what airline? American Airlines. Oh, how about that? Comes with some status. Yeah, you get status. You fly a lot. You get all that stuff. How about that, dude? Did you remember Southwest is looking at not doing the random seats anymore? No. What are they? Oh, really? Doing assigned seats. Oh, yeah. Oh, really? They're looking at it. If they'll do that, I'll start booking with Southwest. Yeah. Because we got a hub here. That'd be great. Would they have first class? No.

I don't know. They're totally looking first too. I don't know. It's one of those things that I think you think you would want it. And then I think there's part of me that thinks like you could end up being like, man, I wish we did. You know, like there's, I think they're doing it to raise profits. Yeah. But there's something, maybe there's like half of it can be then half of it can't. But, uh,

There's something, you know, kind of, I bet it's one of those that you'd be like, kind of miss it. You know, because it was, it's the. I'm so used to it now. Yeah, it's the excitement of being like. Yeah. Am I going to get this empty seat? It's like gambling. Yeah.

It's the same rush. Yeah. And you know, like, all right, if I can get up front, if I can be one of the first things I can get in. You know, if you're a high B, you're like, all right, I'm good. I'm going to get an hour window. I don't have to worry. Being a high A in there is pretty, there is some power trip to it a little bit. It massages the ego a bit. You're like, oh, are you, what are you, A2? Oh, I'm one. I'm one. It's a certain age. You don't get many wins in life.

Yeah. And when you get the right seat, the camaraderie that you, the bond that you form with another human being when you realize nobody's sitting between you is special, dude. Yeah. It's really special.

Give them a nux. It is special. And when that happens and you look over and the person at the other seat has their headphones on and they're not paying attention, you're like, come on, dude. I wanted to be like, oh, we got an open seat. I know. I wanted to do that. When we get excited, I always say –

I want to count my chickens. Yeah. What's the saying? Chickens before they hatch. Eggs before they hatch. That's what I say. I nail it in the moment. Chickens before they hatch. I want to do that and go, let's talk about the seat, but then don't talk to me the rest of the time. Right. Once the plane takes off, put those headphones on. Yeah. We're separate people. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. It is very stressful, though. I mean, the stress of hoping –

Oh, it's going to stay empty. I mean, that's like, give me your heart rate would be up. I had a weird situation the other day where it was like just two seats on the side. And, you know, I was there and then an empty seat. And it was like towards the end and they came up to me. I already had all my stuff in place and they go, hey, you've been upgraded. Do you want to move up? And I go, well, this is this. Is anybody going to sit here? I was like, if this seat's going to be empty, then I'm fine just staying here.

And they go, yeah, I don't think they're showing up. And I go, cool. And then they showed up. And so I go up to, I get up and I go, hey, somebody showed up. Can I get that upgrade now? And they were like, yeah, we'll work it out. So then like, and then they, so now it feels like, because this girl has sat next to me that I'm like, I want to move. But I'm like, I just want- Well, was she an undesirable person?

She was fine. Companion? Okay. She was fine. But it was just like... Maybe she thought she didn't want to sit next to this woman next to... Well, that's what I thought. And then I tried to like...

make a joke with her about it. Like I was like, ah, I may, I may move and you may get this whole seat to yourself, but I don't know. Maybe she didn't speak English or whatever, but it seems like she like tried to shush me. And I was just like, ah, I'm about to get out of here then. And then that did get moved, but it was like, just a weird, I was like, yeah, I want the upgrade. If I'm not going to get the whole seat to myself. Right. I don't want to share an armrest. Yeah. But it was just a weird situation where I was like, well, at the end of the day, I'm about to get out of here.

Yeah. But it felt like because she sat down, I was like, all right, yeah, I don't want to sit next to this lady. Yeah. And I didn't, though. But not, you know. Was it upgraded to first class? Yeah. Yeah. You didn't want to.

Well, I was like, if this seat's going to be empty. Yeah. You're good. Yeah. It's like, it's basically a first class seat. Because I feel like when you get settled in, you're settled in. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I get, I got a cup here. I got a mug and I got some snacks and I'm like, I got to take all this stuff out of here now. That's, I could see that. Cause you seem like a guy that like, you know, you hunker down. Yeah. I got a real plan. You're like a guy that pitches a tent. Like you already. Yeah.

And you do it fast. You're not a... It's like, it's going to be a lot. I got a real plan. I get in there and I try to be out of everybody's way, but I try to get all my things ready to go. Shoes off? Take your shoes off on the plane? I wish, but I don't do that. I've had them off under your seat or something like that. People always say the shoes off...

I don't think it's insane. It's like, just be aware. Do you think your feet are awful? And then it's people that are putting them up everywhere. But if a guy slips his shoes off and has them just under the seat, no one can see that. I don't think that's a problem. I agree. It's like when people put them up and they got them everywhere. And I don't think people don't think it's a problem if it's a woman's foot.

I think it's men's feet. Yeah, for sure. Women's feet can smell. Yeah, but the women's feet are just smaller and they're just like, you know, it's like a...

It's a man's foot. It's disgusting. Yeah, you're like, well, you're just an animal. But I mean, you know, it's like when people put them up high, it's like you notice. I think you can take your shoes off. You know, you're like, no one's going to really notice you have your shoes off. Saw a guy at the Omaha Zoo walk around barefoot at the zoo. The guy's grounded. Maybe he's going to live there.

Maybe he escaped. Maybe he's looking for his own. I've been thinking about him for two weeks. What that guy's life is like. Whose cage is this cage open? He wants to be in there. Do you think the wife pushes? He was walking with his wife. You think she pushes back on that at all? Or at this point, it's like, this is just what he does. He walks around barefoot. Yeah. I bet there's other things. Yeah. Yeah. You think this is a compromise? That's the least of her worries. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, he might be just an old, you know, how old she made him go to the zoo early, early mid 40s. He had dreads. No, no, no, no. This was not a hippie looking guy. This was like corn fed Nebraska. There's a reason that is no shoes. Yeah, that is like maybe he blew out a flip flop.

Maybe. Yeah. I think he blew out one. So he just threw the other one out. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah. Barefoot. Yeah. Well, you gotta, you gotta, I would have it in my hand. So I could, if people looked at me weird, I could explain it to him. Yeah. I can see that too. Put in your back pocket. And was wearing jeans, jean shorts.

Okay. He did it on purpose. Yeah. Yeah. The more you describe this guy, this guy's like, he's like, I don't care. I didn't even want to come to the zoo today. Sounds like something Dusty would do. Yeah. Take your shirt off too. What zoo was it? The Omaha Zoo. Yeah. I got a lot of sun while I was in Florida. I'm into it. Yeah. I love it. That's why you don't like it going away in the eclipse. Exactly. That's exactly right.

Tyler Lago. Tyler Lago. Lago. My wife is 39 weeks pregnant, and we went to Nate's special in Phoenix. Cut to three hours after the show, and we're at the hospital getting ready for a baby girl to come. If that ain't the most folks thing, I don't know what it is. Amazing special, Nate. So proud of you. I love that. How about that? You know, we always want to hopefully have that good of a show that you can get some stuff moving. You induce a pregnancy. Yeah.

That's a good set right there. Congratulations, Tyler. Tell us her name. Will you name your special after her? Yeah. Either that or the guy that was sleeping. Yeah. Yeah. Name it after him. If you were asleep at night show, let us know. Name it after him, but put description idiot in front of it. Like you're like idiot, you know, Fred Johnson. No offense if there's a Fred Johnson that listens to this podcast. I think I have the name now.

Well, last week. I'm not going to say it, but. Okay. Because I'm not completely positive. But I do like the name a lot. Hello, Moon. Hello, Moon. It's hello. Yeah. Not world. It's more. Yeah. Goodbye, world. Goodbye, world. I think this is it. Yeah. It's farewell tour. Yeah.

Last week we talked about Nebraska. I didn't have comments this week, but a few things everyone wants to know. I forgot to say Johnny Carson is from Nebraska. That's a big one. Oh, yeah. Forgot to tell. We talked about Adam Devine. He's kind of our generation's Johnny Carson.

I forgot to mention the College World Series is in Omaha. Yeah, they used to do a comedy festival. Johnny Carson. Yeah. I don't know how I missed that, but yeah, Johnny Carson's from there. And the thing I said about the government was wrong. Unicaramel, I said that means no political parties. It just means there's not two legislative bodies. So there's not a Congress and a Senate. There's just one. Just one. Okay. So I got that wrong. But we read it as there's...

there's no Democrats or Republicans. Everybody's the same party. And I still don't 100% understand it because it says they're nonpartisan. And I guess I don't know what that means exactly. But apparently there's Democrats, Republicans. They're just nonpartisan. Sounds like a lie.

Right? I mean, there's no such thing as nonpartisan, really. I mean, everybody's got their own thing. And I said Western Nebraska had some mountains, and I guess I don't remember correctly. Do you even look up Nebraska? It's got some hills. Were you just going off just vibes? Just some hearsay. You got a buddy that visited Nebraska. Yeah, you looked up Washington State. Yeah, I got it wrong. Let me... eBay Motors is here for the ride.

But yeah, we're going to stay in Hermosa Beach. We're going to be out near the water. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be great. Get some sun. Yeah. And how long are you there? Five days. Yeah. I'm going to do some stuff. I'm going to do something with Leanne Morgan on Saturday and then another late show with Steve Fury at the Comedy Store. Yeah. It's going to be fun. It's going to be some fun stuff. When your show? Your show is that Wednesday? May 8th. Yeah. The Hollywood Improv. Oh, yeah.

So this is the Netflix is a joke festival that we're doing. Yeah, mine are May 2nd, May 3rd. I may even be early. I don't know. I feel like the festival really gets kicked off. No, it's May 1st and 2nd. Because I think our show is Seinfeld, Gaffigan, Sebastian, Hollywood Bowl. And I want to say ours might be the first. It might be the kickoff.

I think it's May 1st and 2nd. Okay. It's a decent lineup. Okay, good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm very excited. Yeah, it might sell some tickets. Yeah. Yeah. That is a good, I mean, that's great though. Did you guys figure out the lineup? Not yet. No.

We're seeing Seinfeld as this unfrosted. It's about to come out. This weekend. This weekend. I feel like it would be weird to put you first. You're like the hottest comic in the, I feel like, in the country. It would be weird to have you go first, in my opinion. I get they're legends and all this and whatnot, but...

I don't know. I think I should go first. I mean, I feel like, you know, it's like they've been doing it longer. You're the youngest, right? Yeah, it's like I like, you know, I've always liked that. But I think we might be drawing it out of a hat, which there's a chance. I don't know how they're going to do it, but there's a chance we're going to do it

you know, maybe on stage. And you got two shows so you can mix it up. Yeah, yeah. But it'll be, yeah, I think, I like the idea of doing it kind of in front of everybody and, you know, yeah. And are you all doing the same amount of time? Yeah, I think so. I think it'll be like 25, 30 minutes and I think it'll be. Yeah, do it and then throw the mic in the crowd after you're set. Go follow that, guys. Boom. Yeah. Yeah. Today's Seinfeld's birthday. Oh, happy birthday. Yeah. Yeah.

I think I watched a thing. He doesn't like, he doesn't care to be 70. It is 70 years old. He's turning 70? Turned 70 today. Yeah. Oh my God. He's like my age in the show. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You got tired. Time flies, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that show came out over 30 years ago. Oh, I guess so. Yeah.

So I read it. Well, first of all, you mentioned Leanne Morgan. We should give her props because she just announced she's got a sitcom in the works. Very good. Yeah. Chuck Lorre. Netflix. It's awesome. Yeah. It is awesome. Yeah. I was about to say, I read an article today from New York Times where Hollywood's dying, but that was mainly for movies. Oh, because Seinfeld said stuff about movies. Dying? Yeah. Yeah.

I already said TV shows too because they don't have... There's nothing on TV. Yeah. The article I read just said the pandemic obviously really hurt. People never completely came back, at least to theaters after that. Then Top Gun Maverick kind of saved the day for a while. But then since then, things have really suffered. Streaming's not quite... For movies, at least. This is movies that we're talking about. I disagree with all that. You do? Look, that's...

What I want to do is I think I know what people want to see. I'm not trying to be arrogant about it, but I'm just saying there's nothing for anybody to go out there. The people that are writing stuff do not live –

these normal lives. They have no touch with reality. And so they're, they're in Los Angeles and like a lot of them are too. They're awesome, great writers, but there's a mix of the guy, you know, a lot of the men and women that have been writing for a long time versus some of the younger men and women that are doing it, that are young and they're trying to write a movie and they're 22 years old and they don't, you know, it's like your reality is just not,

It's no reality. Like you can't, when you make a movie. Yeah. I just watched Anyone But You or something, the one with Sidney and that other guy. I mean, it's, you know, I don't want to trash movies, but it's tough. It's tough. And it's like, you know, I'm watching it as I want to make, I want to hopefully one day get to make stuff.

Like a rom-com, something like that? No, I want to make stuff... Look, this is...

I want to bring – I think the movie theater still is a thing. I still think people want to go out to it. I still think people want to watch multicams on sitcoms. I don't think Hollywood is dead. I think Hollywood is not giving anybody anything to watch. I don't think they understand that. I don't think – I think they're so out of touch. That's why I live here. That's why I – there's all these things that I do to make sure you're around –

a normal existence as normal as it can be and be aware of it. That's why, you know, with standup is I try to make sure it's like, I talk about myself cause I want it to be relatable and you want it. That's the stuff that what everything used to be. People used to be able to relate to it.

I mean, even whatever show you watch, someone could relate. You relate to that show. I don't think this stuff is dead. I want to go to the movie theater. I like going. I like taking my daughter. She likes going. There's nothing for us to see. There's nothing for us to go do. And there's nothing for me and Laura to go to together. So you're not only splitting stuff up where kids can't go, but there's nothing for a couple to really go to because they –

you know, it's like Godzilla or it's, I don't even know. Like it could be some super girly movie or something. There's just, I don't know if they're having movies for women to be honest. Uh, I can't even think, you know,

And they have, women have housewives, like, you know, like they're watching, you know, I mean, the reality shows are really kind of what they're watching. They're not even making stuff. I mean, you're making, not even making TV for, uh, you're not making TV for like a family. Like it's so directed to be like, someone's got to go get out of the room. Someone's having to sacrifice while the other one gets to enjoy and nothing is together. That's why Seinfeld just said it about multicams.

There used to be all in the family. You had all these sitcoms on Andy Griffith's show, Cosby's show, whatever it was. You would have these people come home and they could all watch it. And you didn't have to get people out of the room. And now it's so specific. No one's making anything for broad. Do you think that the content is changing dramatically?

how people watch TV or is how people watch TV changing the content? I don't think so. Do you think families, do families behave that way anymore? Like do families sit down and watch stuff together? It's like the idea that when the cell phone was invented, you lost that

It's anybody answering the phone. Hello. Who do you want to talk to? It's like that kind of resemblance that's kind of gone. But I still think there's a giant market for that. I say that as someone that is on tour and I'm doing standup and I'm really seeing that there are children and grand, you know, and, uh,

And moms and, you know, I see a lot of grandparents that come out. So that's some of my favorite things to see is grand is a grandmother like, you know, or someone in their 50s, 60s. I don't know. She might even be a grandma, but an older lady like I love that so much because that person.

there is nothing on this planet for them. I mean, there's not. Their best bet is the only thing they can watch is news because they would be into that. There is no entertainment that's going after them at all. Yeah, that's why Lee and Morgan's doing so well. Yeah, yeah. Because there's something you're seeing that, you know, as I travel, you're like, this tour is like, I'm not an idiot.

So, look, I say this when I go, I'm trying to do all, I'm trying to do a lot of stuff, but it's not everybody gets it. They don't get it. They're not out. They don't, you weirdly have to go back to there to go, hey, here's this.

And I got to show you that this audience is there. So make stuff for them with them in mind. So that's, you know, with my, I try to do my standup. I'm making it for the audience. I don't think about Hollywood. I think about the audience. I'm trying to make them laugh. You think you make a movie that these people want for them and they have the option to stream it at their house or go to the movie theater. You think enough of them choose to go? I think they would figure it out no matter what. I think if you're, if you can make it,

good enough, they're going to watch it wherever they're going to watch it. I don't know if it's going to be a perfect, you look, stuff's going to come out on Netflix, stuff's going to be on Amazon, stuff's going to be in a movie theater, there's going to be 50 different ways stuff comes out. Sometimes you got to go with whoever's going to let you put the thing out. So,

So I think people will watch it no matter what. And if it gets enough buzz or people like it or they feel like it's good, you want it to be repeatable. It's something you can go watch. I thought this movie, Anyone But You, I mean, it's rated R. It should not be a rated R movie.

The trailer looked really dirty. Yeah. The trailer made it look really dirty. It's a movie that should have been PG, I guess PG-13, should have been just that and been more on the cuter side. They were cursing for zero reason. It was out of content. It just felt like that kind of thing. It was like, well, we have this movie. We have to make it rated R. But nothing that they're doing is...

rated R it's like a cute kind of thing so it's like I'm trying to watch this stuff now to be like alright and I'm look I don't want to trash the people that made it and wrote it and like all this like I have no idea I'm not trying to I'm just saying I'll watch this one this weekend uh

And, but you know, it wasn't like that. Some of those that were like, you know, uh, that you can go back and watch and, you know, stuff from the eight, like some of those movies that you could go watch growing up, like honey, I shrunk the kids. Like everybody could go watch that. You could go watch that right now. It's not for kids. It's for everybody. It's just a fun family mood. Like that stuff is not being made. And so that's the point that I want to make is I see it with standup and

Just because I've always thought, you know...

I always thought entertainment doesn't have to be niche or whatever. Is that the word right? So everybody thinks like, well, you don't want everybody liking your thing. Why would you not? Why would you not try to make something that everybody can like? That's the best part. I love that I can try to make something that everybody will go to. What else are you trying to do? I understand if someone's artistic and there could be stuff that's not for everybody. But I mean...

And I guess if you, and some people like that, but to me, why would you not want to make something that everybody can go to and everybody likes? And yeah, I'm not trying, I'm not saying everything's going to be perfect or everything's gonna be great, but you should be able to go and like, no, like, you know what? I'm not,

going to be uncomfortable. I'm not going to have to be like, ugh, like think I have to have these conversations in the car afterward, like all these kind of things. You just want to be entertainment. But I don't, I like to see when like teenagers or like 20 year old kids are there with their parents at the show. Yeah. And you can see that the kids and the parents are

both had a good time at the show. They can talk about your comedy with their parents and with the kid. It's something that they can all relate to. I think that's really cool. And I mean, I think you're right. I mean, I think people know what people want to see. They're just not making it. They want to force people to watch something. And it's like, cause it's like a show or a movie will come out like Top Gun that will be like, oh, this is awesome.

Everybody could go, okay, well, what did they do that made this so cool? And then just start doing that. But it's like superhero movies. They've ruined those. They keep, they keep, they keep. That's the only ones they make. Tom Cruise is the reason. Tom Cruise is that guy. Yeah. Tom Cruise is a guy that everybody goes and gets behind and they want to go watch anything that he does because he's a movie star and he's a star that the whole, everybody accepts and everybody likes him.

And that still can exist. It's not because people don't want it. It's not at all. Like you can't, that's like blaming all the problems outwardly and never going inwardly and go like, well, maybe I'm the one, you know, if, if everybody around you is mean, you're

Or something. And you got to go like, are you either picking... You're either... You have picked 12 people that are the most awful people in the world. Or... You're the problem. You could be the problem. So, look at things like that to go like, I can't imagine... I try to think about that a lot in me. If I'm frustrated, people get frustrated with me. How can...

You know, there's no way I'm the only one that's right. No matter how much I think I could be the one that's right. Maybe not everybody. Maybe I need to adjust and they don't do that. I think all this stuff is still people want to go see entertainment.

Who doesn't want to be watching her? There's nothing. There's literally nothing to watch. Survivor, Laura watches that. That's on its 50th season or whatever. I don't even know what it is. It's insane. There's nothing even coming in place to change it. Game shows are doing really good right now because an entire family can watch a game show.

That's why. And you think people will pay with all the free content? They'll pay for stuff? Yes. People want to go do something. They want to go to a show. People are not... You spend money. People are not afraid to spend money. The free content is like... You want to go watch something professional.

That's why when you go to a live show, it's like you want to go and be like, I bought tickets to this. I feel you want to be out and about. I mean, my goodness, it's depressing if you're just at home all day. You want to have something to look forward to to go to. Yeah.

Yeah, dress nice, go out, do a thing, have some popcorn. We're all going to the movie. What are you doing this weekend? The kids, we're going to go watch this movie. Everybody's going and it's going to be fun and it's a night out. And you talk about the movie after. Yeah. Yeah, it's like that stuff still exists. People have not changed.

There's still families. There's still... These people don't exist. Hollywood and all that's making shows for this fake group that they think exists. They don't exist. They do not exist. Because I'm... You don't hear a ton... It might seem like...

if you're on this podcast that everybody knows about me and all this stuff, you don't hear a ton about me. You don't hear a lot about these shows that we're doing all these arenas. It's kind of quiet. I'm not, I don't want to say it's, I'm not trying to act like it's quiet, but it's,

You wouldn't hear it like you hear about Chappelle at all. But the people that are coming out to these shows, it's insane. It's unbelievable. So every show, I'm going out and seeing this insane amount of people.

that are coming to all this stuff. And then if I go try to make something else, it's like, well, I don't, you know, it's like if to me and it's starting to, we're hopefully starting to move forward. I'm, but that's the other part that I'm trying to do. It's like, if people just that come to your, if only the people that come to your shows watched your show that you built like TV show, it would still be very successful. It would be very, yeah. Yeah.

Just those people. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's, it's insane. And you're seeing it going like these people want to be out, dude. They're,

They're at a three o'clock show in Houston. I mean, they're there. I don't know. Like they want to do something and they want to go out as a family and there's nothing for them to go out to. They can't, no one can take their kid to anything. It's gotta be a football game. It's gotta be a basket. There's no entertainment. There's no like show. I did shows in Cleveland and Pittsburgh and they, both the areas seem very sketchy. I was like,

I was like, you guys risk your lives to be here. You know? And I do think that, I do think there's something to that. I was like, they wanted entertainment. They were like, we're going to go. We'll park and we'll walk down the street and we'll risk it all. Yeah. I think that's why like Dude Perfect does so well because it's, the whole family can go. Dude Perfect. Harper, yeah. Dude, we went to Dude Perfect and dude, it was great. It was great. And Dude Perfect is a perfect example. And that's the,

that's the whole point of Nate land that I want it to end up being is this. I want to be able to make movies and do all this stuff that everybody can go and, you know, be, uh,

Be entertainment free with the audience in mind. I think they used to make TV movies for the audience. I don't think they do that now. I think they make it for them and what they watch. And that's why you don't see multicams really. And that's why, you know, because the person that is deciding if it goes on does not watch multicams. That person is, you know,

they're all very nice people too. They're very wonderful people. But that person has not got their own laundry, has not done any, they had not done a normal thing

really in years. They have a modal law. In years. Like just little kind of like stuff. And that's okay. But just be aware. If you're not aware of that, then you got to go. So then they're watching Housewives, whatever they're watching, they think like, they watch a multicam and they go, well, this doesn't look very fun. You go, all right, well,

Seinfeld and Ray Romano and King, King, King Queens, like they're still doing better than your shows you're putting out. And these are shows from 30 years ago. Yeah. So they do do good, but you don't watch that. So that person that decides that,

doesn't watch that. So they'd think, well, I don't want to watch that. You're like, yeah, you don't want to watch it because you're not married right now. And you don't have a family. People don't want to be preached at either on these shows. There's so much of that too. Well, it's like, but it's because if you don't, you know, you got to have, they got to be able to relate. They want you to have a family and have like, that's the world. The whole world has families. Their job, it's ridiculous to put

they're not thinking about who to vote for this or that or blah, blah, whatever. Just be entertainment. And just go try to be entertaining. That's literally the job. And you can have stuff that makes you think different and all that kind of stuff, but there's plenty. There's the most of that there's ever been. When George Carlin did it, you needed it. Now, there's a ton of it. Everything is...

Let me tell you what, you know, and you're like, dude, people are just like have two jobs and they are they have kids and their kids play sports all day. Like they don't they're not they don't they don't live in this existence that stuff's being made for. Now that I get yelled at for ranting.

I liked it. We're happy you're back. We love hearing a rant. I haven't heard a good rant in a while. You know what I mean? I know, but that's like... I'm into it. I feel like people get mad and then... But I feel like... No, I agree with you. I think about what you're saying all the time. I'm into it. I do too. I don't think I've said that, but I've always wanted... Whenever I think I'm not doing... If I'm not here, I'm trying to... I want to do this. I want to create a world that you can go to and...

and not have to and watch something and not have to feel gross or you know not have to be like because there's a place for that stuff yeah and i doesn't i don't think that that shouldn't exist i think it should you know do whatever you want to go to be you but i also think this other side as i see this audience i don't think you're getting the entertainment because i think you will go out to movies right

Well, that's the thing about comedy. It's like when you do clean comedy. I always say I do relatively clean comedy, but it's like people think that if it's clean, then it's cheesy. That's why I never like to advertise it that way because that's what they think, but it's just regular stuff. Yeah. It's just like I'm just talking about regular things. Yeah. Someone said it's like adult family friendly. Yeah.

And I didn't mind it. I still don't love the way that is, but that's kind of a way to wrap your head. But it's like the idea of it is like, yeah, you're not doing anything to, I'm trying to, I'm trying not to deter everybody.

It's comedy that's not trying to deter people. I say you're not going to – you can bring your aunt and you're not going to be embarrassed that you brought her to you. The common thinking is to have broad appeal, you have to compromise the art in some way. Yeah, I don't think you do. But your success is proof that that's not the case. Right, you just got to be a better artist. But I thought – I always thought that. That was very much a thing –

that was said when I first started. I argue about it with my comic friends all the time. And they go, you have to, you know, like, well, you got to push the envelope. So I remember, and I always thought when I first started in my head, well, why do I have to do that? So I should be able to, and again, I've had some jokes. I've seen some old stuff where I've said a,

uh, bad word or I got a couple of things that I heard recently that I'm, you know, annoyed that I said it. Uh, but I just, again, I've said it before. I wasn't the comic that I am now. I didn't know how not to, I didn't know what to do, but, um,

And they're still not that bad. Like, but it's, but it's, you, I remember just thinking like, well, why can't, like, cause everybody be like, well, you can't be this man. I'm not for everybody. Like, it was like, that was the cool thing to be like, not everybody's going to be able to handle what I'm doing. And it was like, well, why would you not?

Why would I not want everybody to handle what I say? Why would I not want all the people ready for this? You shouldn't. I don't think you have to sacrifice part. Too real for you? Yeah. I would argue you are pushing the envelope now because, I mean, nobody else is doing what you're doing. Very few are. So in a way, you're the outlier. But that is not recognized. I don't see it. It's the...

then i i hope to break i hope for hollywood to be like i don't think they are something that could be out of his they are seeing stuff so spread out you got dude perfect you got mr beast you got all these things that are these like that are not a part of hollywood and they're gigantic yeah and uh you know i so you do have all these worlds where they you know you're like i i

Hollywood is, the movie theater is like, we all still know what a movie theater is. So to switch stuff, I don't think people want to just sit in their house and watch screens. I don't. You want to have experiences. You want to go out. You want to go out to eat. You got DoorDash now. People don't want to just sit at home. The people are not, people are regular people, man. The whole world is regular people. They're not, you know, we're just right now, the top is making stuff that they think, you

they want to see. And then, you know, it's like, like, you know, rest of the development was like a show that's like so funny and like, whatever, not for everybody. It wasn't a show for everybody, but the ones that were had that it was, it was great. And so there, you can, that can still be, you can still do this stuff, but then there's, you have your Ray Romanos that are kind of for everybody. So you can do that too. So you don't have to be people, you know, I think sometimes people get,

It's like family friendly. It does. It's not cool. They feel like it's not cool, but it's like, man, it can be made. How about you make something cool?

So the whole family, if they want to watch, you're not making it for the kid. You're just making what you think is funny and what you do. But the kid can sit there. I watch kids in shows. I can see them. I know they're going to like if I talk about the donkey or whatever. I know parts that they're really going to like. And I can see them kind of trail off in parts about my wife or whatever, but their parents are like... You can sometimes see that because a 12-year-old is not going to get every...

they're not going to understand why everything's, but they are going to like some, some of the things. And so it's like, but they can be there and they do like being out, even if they get bored for a second. Mm-hmm.

or to get kind of trail off, they're still like, they get to watch their parents laugh. And they also were able to go with their parents. Their parents didn't have to be like, nah, you can't see this guy. This guy's a little too adult. So even if the kid's bored, it's still, the kid's still got to go with their parents. If someone is too adult, it's rarely that a wife and a husband even want to go see that. Yeah. Like one or the other will want to go see it.

it's rare for them to both want to go together. And the comics crowd working them. Where's your husband at tonight? No, but that's the whole thing. It's going to be, you know, I'll get just trash for ranting. I don't think so. I'll defend you in the comments. Thanks, bud. Yeah. Well, certainly, um, now, I mean, everything's being shot in Hollywood. Uh, Atlanta does so many more and there's just Tyler Perry, man. I just heard him talk and, uh,

He did an interview and that I love Tyler Perry's way that he did it. And I feel like it's Tyler Perry. Tyler Perry has, he makes a, he makes stuff for his audience for, for a specific audience. And then Hollywood has to buy it and go like, well, we want that audience because his audience is so big. And when he makes stuff, he said, no, that dude's a billionaire. Tyler Perry has, you know, he's in Atlanta. He has, uh,

you know, he's on there. He's around a lot of people that are, uh, he hires like, uh, people out of prisons to work at his thing. So he has a lot of normal people that he's around, uh,

And I say normal, I don't mean it like condescending, but it's the way that when you get elevated to this spot, sometimes you're not around a normal person. So no one kid has a baseball game that they can't miss or all these. It's like you kind of really don't have problems and everybody's flying. Everybody can fly to the Bahamas at the drop of a hat. And you have no friends that have any conflicts.

So you can do whatever you want whenever you want. But if you're Tyler Perry, a guy that can do whatever he wants, he's also a guy that is around – you do have to deal with normal – someone being like, well, I can't make that because I have whatever. I got a ticket. I go to traffic school tomorrow. I got a – my mom, I'm quitting. Just normal –

existence so you can you know just keep your you know keep your ear to the ground to be like don't get so out of out of reach um you used to live not in hollywood but la for a couple years right yeah hollywood's just a neighborhood i know so little hollywood is uh yeah i think it's just west hollywood yeah hollywood yeah so i'm from hollywood it's my favorite oh yeah uh

You're from, it's Andy Kaufman. Memphis, Tennessee. You're from Memphis, Tennessee. I'm from Hollywood. That was the joke. And I don't think that's the joke anymore. I think it's serious. But that was comedy. You're from Memphis, Tennessee. I'm from Hollywood.

He's in on the joke. Yeah. Now it feels like it's, you're from Memphis, Tennessee. I'm from Hollywood. Yeah. And now it feels serious. Well, it's like when Hulk Hogan turned heel, he called himself Hollywood Hogan because you

He was supposed to be a bad guy that... You don't know this? No, I didn't know that. He was Hollywood Hogan for a while. Come on, dude. We were too young for Hollywood Hogan because he was in NWA. We just read books and stuff. Come on. I thought that would be funny after what we've been talking about. Why is he still the most famous person ever? You know what I mean? It's crazy.

Oh, okay. I didn't Hollywood Hogan. I've never even heard of this. It was just, uh, like I was blowing my mind right now. So he just, he just turned heel all of a sudden. Yeah. He, and he started wearing the shoe polish on his beard and, and, uh, yeah, it became Hollywood Hogan. He's a bad guy. And this, his, he was the NWO, the new world order, which is also the bad guy. And, uh,

Yeah. So he came back. He stopped being a Hollywood hugger. Yeah. It was just a thing for a while. Okay. Just, just, just the revolution. I think you're seeing everything switch back though. I think I feel good about it. Like I think Phil, I feel, uh, yeah. But like I said, I think Mark, I think he's starting a studio and I think people are, I think, I think stuff is heading back in that direction and people are, uh,

they're understanding that there is an audience for this. And, you know, and it would go back to just what it was when people went to the movies. I mean, and stuff like, when I talk about trailer park stuff, I mean, it's like, there's this whole bunch of people that,

They never get trailer park stuff talked about in a positive way. Whenever people talk about trailer parks, they're always being made fun of and they're always idiots. So when I'm talking about trailer parks and just like having a good time, they're like, yeah, me too. I had a great time. We were doing this and that. And it's like, it's just, it's a whole population of people there that...

People come up to me and they go, I grew up in a trailer park too. And it's like, they've probably never been able to say that in a positive way. When you make fun of yourself in the trailer park, you're joking about yourself. That's what makes it. Yeah. People, it's not, hey, it's like a trailer park person. That's why the disconnect started getting too pointed at. And it's like, well, I'm right. You're like, no, no, no. I'll be the dumb. This is me being dumb.

And I'm an idiot. And I'm not ashamed of where I'm from. Yeah. Yeah. I love where I'm from. I love when someone's happy where they're from. Yeah. I don't even, they're from California, Los Angeles. If someone's born and raised there, I love it. I want you to be, I mean, I enjoy when someone's happy to be where they're from. Nothing sadder to me than just seeing someone on stage, just, just making fun of where they're from for a long time. Yeah. I'm just like, man,

you gotta you just kind of hate yourself huh yeah it's like that sucks not just themselves their family and everybody from where they're from because those family members are still there yeah that's too bad that's it's a tough thanksgiving huh yeah well i saw your show really hate us huh ebay motors is here for the ride remember when you first saw the potential

No. I've heard some things. That's a much different podcast, but yeah. I read two or three different theories. One's, you know, just there was a Hollywood, Illinois, and the woman who donated 120 acres that is now present day Hollywood liked that name because Holly, like the plant Holly, is supposed to bring you good luck. So she liked that. Now that's the boring one.

The one I read more was the guy who's known as the father of Hollywood. He was standing on the hills overlooking Hollywood Hills. A Chinese man came along carrying wood in a wagon. He said, what are you doing there? And the Chinese guy replied, I Hollywood.

meaning I haul wood, hauling wood. And he's like, I like the name. And that's how it became with Hollywood. That's the one I read most prevalent. I mean, I think that's the one that's, yeah, that's crazy. That's accurate, but they kind of, you know, they don't mention that as much. Okay.

Sorry to bog us down here. No, no, this is great. This is the info people come for. The Hollywood sign used to be, say, Hollywood Land for many years because it was just an advertisement for a development, for real estate. And then after a while, they just took the land off. I went and did a hike up to it. When I did the Greek, and it was a lot more serious than...

I thought it would be. Oh, the hike? Yeah. The Greek. What's that? The Greek theater. It's an outdoor theater. It's a show I did in LA last year with the Greek. But it was one of those you're like, oh, yeah, we'll go do it. And it's one of those you see the sign. And so you're like, I mean, it's right there. And it's like, nah. It's way up there. An hour later, you're still like, it's still. Yeah, it's up there. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it always seems so hot, too. When I see people hiking on those mountains out there, I'm always like, it just seems so dry and hot. Yeah. Did you see the Detroit sign that went viral for how lame it was? It almost looks like they're trying to do their own version of the Hollywood sign. They threw this up, and it just got roasted by the people of Detroit, dude. Oh, is this for the draft? Yeah.

No. I don't mind it. Well, it's glow-in-the-dark now. Originally, there were not lights on it. It was just lame. Just Detroit. It looks like

Like Helvetica, it's not even like a cool font. Yeah. And it's just thrown up there. Like a local rapper did a diss track about it. It's so funny. My only thing is that maybe it's just this picture, but with the D being lower than the T, there's something weird about it. It feels like you're meant to read it backwards. I think it's just the angle of that picture. They threw this up to try to mimic that. You can see it. Oh, yeah.

It's just boring looking. I don't mind it. Yeah, yeah. It was like someone goes, do a Detroit sign. You know what? It would be how kind of stuff is written nowadays. Yeah. Where someone goes, we need a Detroit sign. And someone goes, oh. And they have. And it's someone that doesn't realize that the world existed past them. Right. And so.

You know, they think, well, they go, I got a great idea. It's like a lot of ideas end up becoming, you know, you're like, yeah, yeah. But that idea was awesome back, you know, but now it's not, you know. Yeah, that's funny. I'm doing shows in Royal Oak soon, so I don't want to criticize the sign. No, I don't think they like the sign. Yeah, you can make fun of it. I mean, Detroit did great with the draft. Set attendance record. Yeah, yeah. It looked awesome. Nashville's record. Wow.

750,000 people or something. Yeah. Crazy. A lot of gambling going on? I'm sure there is on the draft. On the draft. But yeah, I think it's... Yeah, it's just... The draft's fun. Now, have you guys ever been to the... And maybe that's another thing. That's still something families can do together. Families can still watch sports together. Yeah, but I mean, look...

You can still go to games and stuff. I mean, I think they are bored of having an alcohol problem in some of these things. Because you go. Yeah, yeah. These, you know. And again, this is small groups of people getting in fights. And I think you're in certain sections. And it depends on where you go. Because of which cities, too. But I mean, I think people drink a lot more. And they drink a lot.

Me and Aaron went to that Arizona Cardinals game, and we were in the upper deck, and it was pretty wild up there. I was like, oh, geez. Yeah, man. People were sitting in our seats, and we were like, nah, we'll just find some other ones. But compare that. That's the NFL versus – I also went to an MLB game with you, and that was way more relaxed. It was so nice. Totally different vibe. Yes.

NFL game. I mean, it was crazy. Yeah. People scream and fight and everybody's hammered. You're like, this is crazy. In the middle of the day. Yeah. A Sunday afternoon. A Lord's Day. And Dusty, you've seen a thing or two. So for you to say that. Yeah, it was wild. Yeah, we didn't stay there long.

Yeah, some of them as you get older. I'm glad I went, but it was intense. Have you guys ever been to the Hollywood Walk of Fame? Yeah. So I was reading about how they do it. Not that hard. I think I might get one here pretty soon. Oh, to qualify to have your name on there. Yeah. There's currently 2,700 and something stars on the Walk of Fame. And

They have about 200 applications each year, and then the committee selects 20 to 24 people each year. So, you know, it's not super expensive. Does it cost money to submit yourself? $75,000. And is it owned? It's $75,000. That's to maintain it, build it, maintain it, keep it clean. Who owns the city? I think the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, I think. Oh.

Wait, so anybody can get, I mean, you have to be somewhat approved. There's qualifications. You have to, there's five categories. And you meet some of these? I don't, but one of them, you have to be five years doing whatever it is you do. So you can't be like a total one hit wonder. You know what I mean? I think a one hit wonder is going to get five years. I think any one hit wonder is a five year, easy five years.

Yeah, that's almost, I mean, yeah, I would say one hit wonders year. You would be 10, uh,

Ten minimum. Depending on the hit. I mean, Vanilla Ice has rode a one hit. Yeah, depending on the hit. But even if you're a true one hit wonder, you did the one hit and then it disappeared. And now you're nowhere. Yeah. I mean, I think. Chumbawamba. Five. Top Thump. Maybe ten. I still like that song. That's a hot song. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, there's a committee that comes up with it.

and they submit 2024 but you've got to i've kind of lost my place here but you have to accept it there's a bruce springsteen clause springsteen clause because a fan nominated him and they said yes and then they contacted bruce springsteen and he's like i don't want it so now you've got a the artist has to to obviously want want it before you can do it did he say why he didn't want to do it i

I don't know. There are some people that have turned it down. They just don't like the publicity. Prince didn't get one. Whitney Houston, they didn't want it. I don't believe that these guys don't like the publicity. Yeah. I don't know. I think it's probably a scheduling. It's like you see stuff. So you've got to go there. They probably make you do all kinds of interviews. Yeah, you've got to do a whole kind of thing, and then you're just like, I don't want to go do all this stuff. You would turn it down right now?

No, I don't think I should have it. I'm just kidding. But I think it's like a cool, I think it's awesome. And so I do think it's kind of a cool thing. And I think they should do it.

I think to bring back Hollywood, you should. That's fun. I think it's cool, but you'll be walking along and I feel like sometimes I'm way off the strip or whatever. And I'll be like, oh, here's a star. Oh, Andy Griffith. Yeah, it'll be something like that. And I'm like, oh, they're way out here? Yeah. It's 15 blocks and it's growing, obviously. That's fun for me. They're running out of space. 15 blocks is huge. I think you get two years. Once they nominate you, you have two years to schedule the ceremony.

Yeah. So, cause I know people are busy, but if you don't do it within two years, then you get disqualified. They try to find a place for you somewhat related to what it is you've done. Like Roger Moore and Daniel Craig, both were James Bond. They were on 007 or Boulevard or something like that. Oh, that's cool. Ed O'Neill, married with children in front of a shoe store.

That's cool. Jay Leno asked for a place where he was arrested twice for vagrancy, but they said no. And George Carlin asked for a place outside a radio station that kind of helped him get famous. That's awesome. Jay Leno got arrested twice in the same place?

I guess so. I read on the side of the comedy store. I don't know if they go that far. I guess probably not that far. That's pretty far. I don't know. Muhammad Ali is the only star that's not on the ground. It's on the side of the Kodak Theater because he asked that Muhammad not be walked on. Makes sense. That's fair. Neil Armstrong and the Apollo astronauts have moons set of stars. You got to be pretty big to

to be like, you know, to go like, well, I want it on the wall. And they're like, we've never done that. We got 2,600 people on the ground. Yeah. Well, I'm on it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Two presidents. Neil Armstrong asked for a moon instead of a star? I don't know if he asked for it. They just gave it. Oh, they gave it to him. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That's pretty, you know. Yeah, but you would think, why did they, yes. Why would they? How does he get one? Does he have? Have you not had enough, Neil? Has he been in a lot of movies? Has he been in movies? Let me see. He's in Apollo 13. Well, his character is. No, he plays himself. He does? Right?

I didn't know that. Isn't he in it? I don't know. That's interesting that Neil Armstrong has a Hollywood. Yeah. I don't know why. I think maybe because I was trying to find the qualifications, but that landing on the moon was the most televised. You know what? It was great acting. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. It's interesting that they're like, he goes, he's the best actor of a live performance is one of the categories. Oh, you're right. It was actors. Sorry.

So he was original. What would you call that? Reality TV. Yeah. Yeah. He was reality. He was. And that's the best. Yeah. And they were the best. Yeah. Yeah. They really did it. They got up there and wrote a doom buggy around. Yeah. No, not them. That was later. Okay. Yeah.

Uh, two, two presidents have stars, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Trump's has been vandalized numerous times, but they won't remove it. Um, Julie Louis-Dreyfus, hers was misspelled and, uh, but she thought it was great and said, you should keep it. That's cool. Yeah. You know, uh, on the, uh, the head, they did CBS Saturday morning. Yeah. And I saw it on YouTube. So I don't know, uh,

I didn't see it, but when they showed the Tennessee kid, me showing something, it says Nick Bargetzi at the top left. I saw that, you know, and I actually wanted to open the podcast by calling you Nick. Yeah. Because I saw that. I'm like, that's so ridiculous. Like, how do you, like, you're showing a thing. About him. About him, and you call him Nick. Like, just, you know, do one little fact check here real quick. Yeah.

It was a great story. It was a very good story. I don't know where that Nick happened. Nick happens a lot. I think maybe people are so focused on the last name that they... But it is crazy to be like, you just go a complete... I've been called Nick. I get called Nick a lot more than... Yeah, that Cracked article. Remember that? Yeah. Mark Maron.

Mark Maron did, but I was a young comic then. When there's in the articles, it's crazy. Maybe they're such fans they're in on the joke now. You never know. Yeah, yeah. I doubt it. It's just so ridiculous. You're like a news organization and you're doing a story on a guy and you get his first name wrong. It's not like your first name's hard. Yeah, yeah. Have you ever heard the term Hollywood Accounting?

No. It's basically where almost every movie studio, well, I shouldn't say almost every, but a lot of movies, they make it look like they suffered a loss.

Because as far as distribution rights, Harry Potter made like $900 million, but the sheet showed it like $170 million. Yep. They did a little wizardry on the balance sheet. Wait, say that again? So the movie studio, it's called Hollywood Accounting, and it's basically where they fudge the books in a way to make it look like the movie was not profitable. Oh.

Well, maybe not fudge, but they take advantage of every opportunity to deduct. I guess that's true. That's what I do. Try to do for taxes every year. It's not illegal, I guess, but they'll open a separate account to try to make it look like you didn't get bonuses and stuff like that. You give the government everything they deserve. More than they ask for. Every time.

I go, you know what? I'm going to give you this. Throw a little extra on top. Appreciate you. Thanks for having my back. Yes, that's right. The Troubadour. Send this to somebody that needs it. You know what I mean? You ever done a show at the Troubadour? Yep. It's a legendary club. Oh, I'm about to do two shows at the Troubadour. Oh, yeah, he is. Yeah, they're sold out. But Friday, May 3rd. How about it? And you're at the Hollywood Improv? I'm at the Hollywood Improv. Nice.

May 8th, Wednesday night. I didn't even get into the handprints, but... Yeah, what's going on with those? Very similar. Not as many people get it. I think Jodie Foster just got one last week. But I think only like 200 handprints. So you'd probably rather a handprint than a... Yeah. Isn't that like an Asian restaurant? It's a Chinese theater. Chinese theater. Yeah. That's right. I think they serve food in there. Yeah, you didn't get the... I saw...

movie there. It's a giant screen. Wasn't it like the biggest IMAX anywhere? Yeah. It's crazy. It's awesome. But that's a place. It's so many seats. So it's obviously it's hard to feel that stuff. But that's like an old theater that you go to it like you would you feel like you know what you do sometimes feel like you're like I should have dressed up. Like if you're wearing something like this and then you're like you feel like a bum. Like you know it's just what people wear but it's like a

It's a very classic, nice kind of thing.

Yeah, when you see old pictures, like at the Tampa Theater, they had like this. The theater was open in like the 20s, 1920s. And they had like people going to the theater, like a line out front. They were all wearing hats and suits and everybody was so dressed up and so nice. A lot of people dressed up at my show. Looked good. They were. Yeah, overalls. Yeah. Strong hats. They put shoes on. Yeah, it was great. Overalls with the tag. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know what's cool in the Atlanta punchline in the green room, right above the couch, there's written, thanks for letting me bomb all weekend, Bill Burr. Oh, really? Yeah, from back in the day. That's pretty good. It's fun seeing stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Especially after you bomb. Yeah. Then you go, oh, Bill Burr bombed. That's interesting because that location hasn't even been open that long. It's written there. Yeah. Maybe he was there during COVID. Maybe so. Yeah.

I was going to say there's some feral chickens, Dusty, you could check out when you're out there. Okay. On the Hollywood Freeway. I guess they live underneath the bridge and nobody knows how they got there. Rumor is a poultry truck overturned, but they've been there since the 70s. Oh, really? Wow. Do they attack people? Didn't say that. A feral chicken makes it sound like they're a real problem.

I don't know. Just wild chickens. Hollywood freeway chickens. But they've been there for a long time and they've tried to remove them, but they can't completely do it. So Dusty. Let them roll. They're known as Minnie's chickens. I don't think they're really trying. Yeah. How do you not? It said 50 chickens.

I don't know, about 50. Is that what they said? I thought that Wikipedia started out maybe with 50 and now it's maybe more. Yeah. But yeah, it's like you would think you could. You're like, how are you? If you really wanted to, you could probably immediately get rid of it. I think you could. Yeah. You could do something. I don't. Yeah. Which I'm not saying they should, but. Let them do it. It seems like it's, you know, it's another one where someone's like, well, we're trying. We can't get them out. You're like, are you trying? Yeah.

The Hollywood Bowl, Dave Chappelle and Monty Python, that's a comedy troupe, have the most performances by a comedian at the Hollywood Bowl. Oh, yeah. How many? It didn't say. It just said they were tied. But I think the one that Chappelle got attacked, I think that was the one he tied it. Oh, really? Where the guy ran on stage. Yeah. That was at the Hollywood Bowl. Maybe that guy was just a big Monty Python fan. Yeah, maybe. That's true. Yeah.

They don't say how many? The article. Is it three or four? Is it like 12? I don't know. This was just the thing about the Hollywood Bowl and its history. Yeah. Hollywood is, you know, man, it's like Hollywood just needs to go back to be Hollywood, man. It was, you're, you know, you, it was fun. You had movie stars. You had, you know, that's what it was. And I think it's,

I think it can still be that. I think people still want that. And it made it, it was entertainment. It was cool. It was a break from your reality. And it just got blended too much. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I think, I mean, I love movies. I mean, I've been watching, I like old movies. I watch a lot of like 70s movies. I mean, I'm all about it. I love movies. It's so fun. Yeah. Yeah. Did you look through the rest of those DVDs, by the way? Yeah. I mean, I got, you know, I got them all up in a case now. And yeah. Yeah.

I thought you were being ridiculous about keeping all these DVDs in case they're no longer out there on streaming or whatever. And then I, I wanted to see Sling Blade. I haven't seen that in a really long time. I said, it's not out there anywhere. You got to own a copy of it. I got a copy.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's not like, you know, I make things seem like it's a conspiracy. It's not anywhere. I mean, I just, I didn't do a deep dive, but what I read was. But it's like, yeah, if you want to watch something, I want to be able to, I want to be able to go pop it in there. Is it on Prime? No, this video is currently unavailable to watch in your location. I was going to fill it out. It's an Oscar winner. Yeah, so it's like, yeah, I just want to go. Oh, okay.

There are Reddit threads about this particular movie. I just want to be able to go watch it. Yeah. Well, now I can't. Yeah. It's not about the end of civilization. Yeah. If everything's streaming and you don't have a copy, if suddenly they decide you can't watch it, then you can't watch it. Mm-hmm.

How about that? The only way to watch Slingblades currently is to purchase physical copies. But even DVDs and Blu-rays are rare and expensive. I got a copy. Don't tell people, though. I don't want people breaking in. Yeah. That's fun. Well, thanks to Delete Me, they'll have no idea where you're at. Yeah. Yeah, there is something nice about going through DVDs. I mean, it's the...

Yeah, it's fine. It feels good. It feels good. People like that seed. That stuff worked. It felt good for us. So I think it will always feel good for...

Everybody, you know, even when the kids are looking at YouTube and they're just like, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez. It's like, it comes mindless. So I think, I think, you know, yeah, we have some DVDs there. Like, it's like, yeah, yeah, go pick a DVD, you know, and you go, hmm, watch that. Yeah, it is fun. Yeah. In the early 2000s, I moved into this apartment complex and they had at the office, they had a few DVDs that you could go check out. And this was like, you know, I didn't have, it was back when Netflix was still like older by mail. Yeah.

And it was like, it was so fun. I just go down to the office. They'd let me get two or three movies for free. I was like, this is so great. I was watching DVDs all the time. When you kind of are forced to watch something, when you're like, you know, I still like going to look at,

you know, HBO or all the movie channels and just kind of be like every night, just be like, maybe there'll be something there. I'll be like, well, this is the only thing on. I guess I'll watch this. Yeah. You know, I felt like I enjoyed music more back when I had to buy it. Yeah. Yeah. Now Spotify, I have everything and I kind of don't, I mean, I still listen to it. Well, that's the, and that's, that's the, the quality can go down because it's like, you just got it. You need,

They're like, we need more. Because it's just getting devoured. Yeah. I would buy a CD back in the day for like 15, 20 bucks for one song. And then I'm like, even if I didn't like the rest of the album, I would listen to it a bunch of times. It was just in your car for a summer. And I would...

I bought the Beatles' White Album one time for like $30 for one song. And then I didn't even really like the Beatles, but I was like, $30? I kept listening to that thing. I love it. It's one of my favorite Beatles albums. Jacket Little Pill, Alanis Morissette. We bought that on that road trip, and we listened to it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's a good album. Yeah, it's a good time. Yeah. All right. Yeah, well...

Next week we'll be back to y'all, so y'all be fun. I had fun. Well, next week Aaron will just attack Brian a lot. That's what happens when you're gone. God forbid you have any back and forth with Brian. The Bates heads will come out and defend him like he's a puppy. Nobody will keep track. The common problem is... We talked about this earlier.

You're the only one that can keep... That's right. What's the common denominator here? What's the common... Yeah. Maybe think about that. You're the only one that can keep Aaron under control. When you're gone, he's a wild animal. Yeah. Well, listen. Somebody's got to tell y'all what's what. Somebody's got to set the agenda. People are listening to this. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. But they are, man. And they're showing up in real life. They are. You want to tell us where you're at this week? With Seinfeld, Gaffigan, Sebastian. I'm in also Loveland, Colorado, and...

i think new mexico and probably somewhere else uh we're yeah the be funny tours still out and about loving it still doing it it's great it's fun it's the best i love doing stand up so be going until uh

The end of June, I think, is kind of the end. I'll have my normal dates, a couple sporadic, but then we'll be on a little bit of a good little break. So I'm coming up with some new material. Sit by the lake. Try to write something. Yeah. I'll keep doing that, Joe. I'll go sit at the lake. Yeah, that's fine. It's been a while since you did that. Yeah.

This weekend I'm in Loveland, New Mexico. Oh, you're in the Hollywood Bowl too? Can I? Can I do the Hollywood Bowl too? We'll spike you in after Gaffigan. Just a guest set. I'm not saying the full. Just give them five. Just give them five. We'll just do some crowd work. Yeah. Follow Seinfeld. Yeah. Close it out.

My age? Yeah. May 10th, I'm in Shehalis, Washington at MacFillers Theater. May 26th, I'm back in Huntsville at Stand Up Live. Come see me there. Come on out. This weekend, I'm in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the Tulsa Looney Bin. The newly revamped, newly regenerated Tulsa Looney Bin. I'll be out there. And then next week, Netflix is a Joke Festival, Hollywood Improv. Come on out.

This Friday, I'm at the Troubadour in LA. And those shows are sold out, though. But if you want to see me Thursday, I'm going to be at the original room at the Comedy Store doing a podcast with my wife called the We're Having a Good Time podcast. It's going to be very fun. And it's still even limited tickets on that. Come see that. Are you going to get into it, do you think? A fight? No, no. Like get into what's what. Some stuff? Yeah.

Oh, I don't know. We'll see what's happening. Sometimes me and my wife do a podcast together and we will fight a little bit at the beginning and then we'll stop it and we'll go, let's just restart it. So we're not going to be able to do that here. So you're in the fight. Yeah, the fight, it just becomes the show. But we're really focusing on not doing that.

It's going to be a good one. We're going to have a lot of fun. Now, will this be released? It will be released. That's cool. We're going to film it too, and I'll put the whole thing out on YouTube, provided that it goes well. But that's why we need people to come. It'll be great, though. It's going to be so fun. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of comics out there. Yeah. At the Netflix Joke Festival. Yeah. This week in Los Angeles, in Hollywood. Exciting. All right. Well, that's it.

Thank you. We love you. Hope you have a wonderful week. And this is probably more stressful podcast. Not as fun. I thought it was great. I had a great time. I loved it. Yeah. Well, I'm sure it'll be great. I think the people that listen to this podcast will agree with you on that rant. Yeah. No, I think they will, but I just can't ever talk. I haven't ever. I don't think I've addressed that kind of stuff. Like, but you know, whatever.

I'll be gone. So enjoy what you're going to next week or no, you're back. I fly back Monday morning. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you'll be here. Yeah. All right. All right. See you next week. They will.
