today's episode of the nateland podcast is brought to you by rocket money built butcher box and zoc doc hello folks and hey bear welcome to nateland podcast i'm nate bargetzi uh brian bates aaron weber dusty slick all right there it is what's up everybody

Good to see you. Yeah, good to see you. I was gone last week, right? Yes, you were. On the father's episode, like you were an absent father to us. And people that listen to this podcast often say you're our dad. They'll go...

It gets really crazy when Nate's not there. It's like when the dad's away, the kids go wild. And I'm like, we're all grown men. Yeah. Some of us more than others. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I hope everybody had a good Father's Day. I had a wonderful U.S. Open to watch. Oh, yeah. It was great. Yeah. I like Bryson DeChambeau.

Congrats to him. I did a John Crist and sent him a congrats. Oh, wow. Yeah. And how did you get a response? I don't know. I have not. He's got a lot going on right now. I doubt it. I don't know. Like, I mean, it was, like when I sent it, it is, it's funny. As a dude, I don't even know why you want to send it, but you do. You wanted it to go. It was like, I don't know, man. It's like he, you could just tell. It's like this dude grinded it out and, yeah.

I mean, it was just unbelievable. What have you guys met? No. What a last name. No, I don't know if he would know me at all. Okay. But it's truly like John Chris. It was really like John Chris. DeChambeau. That's a strong name. Yeah. It's nice. Yeah. But we're seeing, I don't know. What happened?

Oh, yeah. Matt Croy. What are you saying? John Chris just reaches out to people randomly? Yeah. He sent it. We did an old thing. He sent a message to Harris Bucker. He'll DM an athlete. Tough miss. Yeah. After a game. Yeah. Just like the idea that you send a message to someone that you don't know. I did that to Brad Paisley. He didn't respond. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How long ago? He knows you now. Right after we talked and hung out. Oh, really? Oh, really? Yeah.

Just saying. Well, he said, let me know if I can do anything for you. So I found something. He regretted that. Yeah. I can see that with you. I think you are. I found something. I was like, I do have something you can do. I think most of you say that you don't. You're like, obviously there's nothing I want to do for you. Right. But I was like, you did say it. So there was no reason for you to say it, but you did. And so I have something. Yeah. That's why you got to be careful. I don't think I try to say it because most people are going to.

I would read the vibe with you though and go, if I say this, this dude will. Yeah. He'll need something next week. And you all should read that vibe. How quick did you? Like next day. I was like. Yeah.

You remember what he wanted him to do? Well, I, yeah, I mean, I just, well, I was like, you know what? You got a lot of followers and, uh, and, uh, I got a special out there. It's doing well. It's family friendly. I got country music jokes. If you just, you know, share it with your people, that'd be great. Is this right after we did that show with him at Zany's? No, I just did another one with him recently. Oh, okay. And he didn't remember. So you've met him twice. He didn't remember me from when he didn't. Yeah. And I'm like, come on. I,

You could not like me. That's fine. But if you forgot me, it's like you weren't even. Well, he does work with a lot of guys that look like you. Yes, that's true. That is true. You look like Alabama, like, you know, like every roadie. That is true. I'll give him that. I'll give him that. Yeah. But that's a testament to him how nice he is in person that you think, oh, maybe I should hit him up, you know?

He is a nice guy, but I've done his charity. I put up a stand-up clip about the band Creed, and Scott Stapp shared it on Instagram and commented. So I was like, oh, dude, I'm going to see Creed in August. Where? Here? At the Ascend Amphitheater in Nashville. I think I want to go. So I was like, oh, Scott Stapp shared my bit. I just want to drop it to him. I'm going to be at the show. I don't know what that means.

but I wanted to, you know, I'll be there. So I, I, I, I DM them and I go, Hey man, big fan. Uh, thanks for sharing the clip. Looking forward to the show. And he just liked it. Yeah. And I go, that's, well, that's the end of that. Yeah. That's the end of what did you? Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know what I expected.

but that's more than he should have given me. Who's his agent? Maybe you can look that up. Maybe have your agent reach out to his agent and be like, hey, my guy wants to get the suits involved. You wanted him to welcome you with arms wide open. I want to go, yo, come hang backstage, brother. With arms wide open. Come back to my own prison back here. There you go. That was my favorite.

Yeah, you should come to that show, dude. That's exciting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I will definitely. That was me and Laura's first concert was Creed. Really? Mm-hmm. What if Nate gets invited back and then they go, no, no, not that other guy. Yeah. I know Scott's.

Stapp? Stapp, yeah. Yeah, Scott. I don't know him. I met him once. We did a thing together. And then I think he golfs. Ironically, he's one of the guys that John mentioned that day that he DM'd. Do you remember that?

Yeah, and I'll be honest, I did name drop John Chris in that DM. I left that part out. Oh, yeah. I'm also friends with John Chris, who speaks very highly of you. I thought that would help. I might follow up with that. And I also know Nate. List off all the people you know. Well, I think it's funny to say, did you say he speaks very highly of you? Yeah, I did. Which is true. Yeah, yeah.

But that's like kind of a weird thing to say. I can't accomplish. Yeah. It's kind of, you take me high. Yeah. You're like, uh, yeah, he speaks very highly of you. And you're like, it's cause I was like, I've been famous for 40 years. Yeah.

And then you, I'm saying, then you go, oh, John Chris, the guy, again, you guys are all worship to me. I'm not saying he's thinking this. And I'm saying, because he's probably a nice guy. But in your head, it's a weird, I think that's a weird thing to say. Maybe. Because, you know, it's like, hey, he speaks highly of you. He's like,

Yeah, you want something from me. Like, what are we trying to do here? This is why you don't bring up cringy moments to your friends because then they make you feel even more cringe about it. Well, that's why you do it. They were like, were you embarrassed about that? Well, let me tell you why you should be. Well, I mean, if we're not doing that, I don't know why we're even in comedy. That's true. That is true.

That's the whole point. I agree. Yeah. I hope everybody realizes it. Listen to this podcast. I mean, yeah, I'm brutal to everybody on the road. That's the most, that's the whole point of it.

It sounds all mean, but it's like, yeah, but that's how you stay sharp. That is what comedy is. Like, my neighbor had up their Christmas lights for a really long time, and we were making videos about it. And we decided, we were like, you know what? I don't care that their Christmas lights are up, but if they're going to be up, we're going to be making jokes about it. Yeah. You know? And that's where it's at. How did they handle that, the neighbors? I don't know that they even know. Well, regular people is a little different. That's so you're the...

You always kind of back off and be like, yo, that's a regular person. It's a civilian. Yeah. But we're talking May, the Christmas lights were still up. Yeah. And they had begun to turn them on. I agree. I'm saying you could do it, but I mean, you have a relationship with these people? Yeah. Okay. I see them out in the yard and I talk to them and I don't tell him, hey, we've been talking about you on multiple podcasts and talking-

making Instagram videos of your life. Yeah. Yeah. But we're friends. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe he doesn't know. Yeah. Yeah. When you involve, uh, non comics, cause comics can just, it's, you know, I don't know. That's, but that's like where I came up from. I came up also. It's, I think it's probably nicer now than it was when I was starting. It was pretty brutal. Yeah.

Yeah. And so it can come off. I mean, I think you got to be careful because it can be too much. But it used to be all Rich Voss. I remember did one to me. That was very funny. He'd always go. He's like, hey, do you have my phone number? And I was like, dude, I'm about to get Rich Voss's phone number. And I was like, no, I don't have it. He goes, good. He walked away. He just walked away. And that was it. Never got his number. Like, I'm going to have it now. But it wasn't like I got it. Like, he goes, I'm just kidding. He left and I didn't have it. Because he knew the...

the hierarchy at the time. Right. And it would have been a big deal for you to have. He would do that to me now. Like, I mean, but I mean like, but everybody's got realized we are brutal with each other, but then there's a, I will do anything for any of these people. And I, I truly love these people and comics I have on the road. I'm not, I would do whatever they needed. Like, it's just the idea of it is like when we're,

you're, you know, the show's supposed to be fun and funny. You're like, yeah, let's just make fun of each other. Let's just have fun. And like, you know, be good, but the joke's gotta be good. If they're not good, then yeah. Like that's,

That's how you can tell when the comics is like, when the jokes are not, you know, when they're too, they can come off me. And that's someone that doesn't know how to tell a joke and they could be a comic. That's Brian get mean real quick. He can get me. He's sometimes Brian will do, he can do one or two. That's like fun. And then he, then he just keeps, and then it's like, all right, dude, like he starts getting into some real stuff. You go, whoa, whoa, whoa. I know. I can't handle the heat. Stay out. That's a lot of delivery.

And he doesn't have that. Look at this show. I saw this happening from afar. How about this? This is a hot show. And the sad part about this picture is the other two comics who were on the show with me all weekend did not make it into this picture. Alec Perrin and Garrett Elzinga. Well, explain what happened there. You're both in Grand Rapids this weekend. Yeah, we were both there. And...

We both had 7 o'clock shows. Dusty sold out all weekend. Awesome. Even with the arena show going on across the street, it was hot. We took over Grand Rapids. Oh, it's that close, huh? Across the street. That's awesome. It was 7 o'clock. We both had shows at 7 o'clock. When we got done, we all went over to Dusty's show.

And then Dusty was nice. He was like, how about everybody go up and do five minutes? I don't think that- You gave Nate five? Yeah. Well, you let Nate do whatever he wants to do, but Nate was nice and only did about five. He didn't take over the show.

Yeah, you don't really put a time on Nate. Sure, but it's funny to go, yeah, I'll give you five if you want it. But yeah, I thought it would be fun. I mean, I thought, what a great show. You buy a ticket to see me and you see Joe Zimmerman, Nick Thune, Mike Vecchione, Stephen Rogers, Nate, and then I do an hour. And I was like, what a, and Alec too. Alec's very funny and Garrett is very funny. I mean, it was a great weekend.

Yeah. Yeah, it was a fun and it seemed like everybody was excited, too. We said we told Steven Rogers to because it was it was every like where it's kind of like what's going on. And so like you might want to say like, hey, all the openers from.

the arena show or his cop came over here. So that's why it's weird. Like, just say that. That's why there's like nine dudes on the idea that there was an illusion that Nate wasn't going to do the show. Right. That's I like that idea because it gets, it's like, it gives some anticipation from the audience. Like, Ooh, these are Nate's openers. Will Nate be here?

But we didn't say, don't say Nate's not going to be here. And that's what Steven Rogers did. He's having a great set and he goes, oh, the openers came over. Nate's not coming. And then it felt like all the air got sucked out of the room. I was like, oh, geez. It did make it bigger. So when I did come, but it was, yeah. Dusty might not even make it. That's what we just kept going.

We kept just joking that Stephen goes, these are the openers. Nate died. But you guys will hear about it in the news in a couple hours. Just extreme. No, it's the best. Stephen's a great comic. Great hang. Yeah. He takes a beating, too. His opening joke really felt like the joke of the night, though, too. His opening joke just really...

I don't know if he wants me to do his joke, but he went up and just did a joke and it was like, it crushed the room. I mean, it was. Yeah. And then a little while later, he sucked all the air out of it. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

And then that's the Yoders there, you know, Jameson and Eric. Run the room, book the room. Yeah. Yoders had done, yeah, they booked all our- Yeah, they've been very helpful to me. And Jameson has always comes to my shows. He went to Nate's show first. He had a few drinks there and he was loose up there. I've never seen him like that. I mean, he was fun and it was fine, but he was loose. Yeah. It was fun. Then we went and hung out at the buses outside. I guess smoked cigar. Yeah. Yeah. And then-

hang out comics. I mean, it's great. It's the best. It really is. It's like, yeah, we were in between buses, had chairs out there. It was a fun hang. Yeah. And you were safe. Grand Rapids is a little wild out there. Actually,

Saturday, my show, some guy apparently was doing donuts in at the traffic light and hit one of those metal trash cans. The lid flew off, hit a guy. That guy had to go to the hospital. There was a forensic unit out there. I mean, and I'm in the bathroom and I can see this going on out there. And then I'm like, well, I better get in there and do some comedy. Yeah.

that murder happened i didn't hear it i only found out what happened later but i saw i mean not just because you're at that hotel close by i was in the bathroom of the comedy club oh my looking down what's going on out here and i can just hear people laughing or no no no yeah not uh i actually did uh you do my old bottle method one time during the

I come off the stage and I'm like, there's nowhere for me to go. And I gotta, I gotta go. Yeah. So, so, and you see doing your green room, which is also attached to their main office. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Did you leave the bottle for him? Who knows? Who knows where the bottle is? I brought it here today. Yeah.

Yeah, we had the, yeah, it was a fun, fun weekend. And you don't, you know, that kind of stuff you don't always get to do. But it was, you know, we've had, it was pretty good. Saw Chris, John Crist, now you on the road. Like it's been. It is fun. It's fun. It's fun. It is fun. Played pickleball, had big pickleball. Yeah. They have a hotel there. Like the Hilton Hotel, they have pickleball on the roof.

Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, we went there and we had a few epic games. No injuries this weekend? No, everybody was good. Okay. Yeah, everybody was good. Yeah, fun weekend. Went to Toledo. Toledo. I talked about just Garrett. I mentioned Garrett. You know Garrett. I made this joke a couple of times the weekend, but Garrett has been known to yell. He's the house emcee at the club. He's been known to yell at the audience. Yeah.

He was like the nicest I've ever seen him. To the crowd. To the crowd. I mean, he's always nice to me. Yeah, he's always been nice. But he was very nice to the audiences this weekend. I was very happy for him. He really found some inner peace with the Grand Rapids audience. He didn't yell at anybody when I was there either. I think, dude, I think if you're...

Working those late show Fridays week after week and you're just, I get snapping on somebody eventually. The shows moved up. They used to be 8 and 10.30. Now they're like 7, 15 and 9.

So it's like much better. Yeah. You start a show at 1030 in the big old building, the Bob, where it's like nightclub and just everything going on. Is that what Bob stands for? The big old building? Yeah. Yeah. Jeez. Yeah. They had to put nets in the middle of the... Because there's a...

It's circular in the middle, so there's three floors or something. There's bars on each floor. Yeah, bars on each floor, and they put nets in the middle because someone has fallen over and died. Oh, geez. Yeah, yeah. It was funny until they died. I think they've had accidents and on purpose there.

I mean, it's a big building. And they don't go, should we close the building down? They go, no, no, no. Put some nets up. Yeah, we're pushing nets up. Like an iPhone factory. Like Topgolf. You just see someone super drunk just in the middle of the night laying on one of those nets. They're like, wake up! They start shaking them, like, you know.

Yeah, I did go into Toledo. Had an awesome time in Toledo. This is the Mud Hens, right? Toledo Mud Hens? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We didn't get a go, but we were going to maybe go over there. Yeah, our friend Doug Buckler reached out. That's right. And you had two shows. We had a three o'clock show. It's just tough. Yeah. Three o'clock, because it was like, you know, time you rolled in and all that. And then, yeah, throughout the first pitch of the Buffalo Bisons game.

Yeah, they gave me a jersey. I asked for the extras. Redundant there, doesn't it? Buffalo Bisons? Well, it's like the word. Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. Yeah, that's right. Oh, okay. Yeah, we talked about that. They were all so nice. I got a big, big jersey to cover my well body I have right now. It's just a monster. I love that. No hesitation. You didn't even set up there. You're like, listen, I'm doing this. He wasn't even ready. Like I said, the pitch was...

I think a right-hand batter would have went for it. My tendency when I don't throw, let me throw a little bit before, but my tendency is I go left. I'll pull left. Even my sounds are when I pull left. If I do another one, I need to

I have to readjust for that. It's not an embarrassing pitch, though. No, no. The goal is to be unremembered. Yeah. You don't want anybody to even – you want them to be like, oh, I forgot that he was here. Well, it's nice that there's a real player catching, not a rooster. Yeah, yeah. That was nice. That was nice.

And then me and that guy. And then, yeah. So had a rooster. Did you? It was a sounds game. It's booster. The rooster catches you. And he's got a comically oversized glove and you know, it's all fun and games, but yeah, I just got up and was like, I'll just do it. Yeah. Yeah. It's fun. It's fun to be on a mound. Uh, we had a really, really great time. And then, uh, you know, uh, the other ball, they were playing Worcester, Worcester, uh,

Which is the Boston affiliate. Worcester? Yeah, the game got out of control pretty quick, to be honest. Who was winning? Worcester. Is it like the sauce? Maybe not the shire. Worcester.

Worsheshire. Worsheshire is what I always say. It was awesome, though. They were...

Yeah, they were all very, very nice to us. And we got to go sit in the owner's suite and watch a good bit of the game. And then we kind of headed back over. So it was fun. That clock says 1033. Yeah, it was a countdown. But that looks good. It looks good. But I mean, I can go and tell you, I was not awake at 1033. So that was impossible.

Yeah, you get on that bus, you know, I mean, it just, I get trouble sometimes falling asleep. Like sometimes I can fall asleep quick. Sometimes I almost need to, I need the bus to be started and start moving and then I'll fall asleep. So I mean, sometimes you go back there because that night before that, I was like, you know what? I'm going to go to bed at, I was yawning big and I'm trying to get better. Like when you're on, just go to bed.

And so it's 1230 and I was like, all right, I'm going to just go. I went in there, cut everything off, try to lay in bed. And I made it just like wide awake. Yeah. And then I was up till three. Your count sheep. What was that all about? I've never done that. Counting sheep. I was always told that as a kid. I think about. Your count sheep, Brian? No. When I was preparing for the sleep episode a couple weeks ago, it said count back from 100 by threes. Okay.

And that'll, I think just the brain. 197, 94, 90. Okay. One. Yeah. And then it gets a little tricky. Yeah. It's 88. Yeah. I like to think about projects I'd like to do on my land. That is what I think about. I get deep into a project idea. And that gets you to fall asleep. Yeah. Okay. I think about holes, a golf course. Yeah. I like playing them.

Like, I think what I would do, like, all right. And I just try to go through the golf course. Wow. All right. I'm going to try all this stuff. Sheep is boring. It is. Yeah. It is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Where are all these sheep coming from? Do you have...

Oh, yeah. We even got around to it. I did Dusty's show at Zany's last week. Great old comedy show. It was a great show. Sold out. One of the best ones I've had in a long time, top to bottom lineup. It was a great show. Dusty gave me 10 minutes. It's hard because I did the last one. But, yeah, anyway. Yeah, he gave me 10. You did a great job. But, you know, we had a guy on the last one that was for a loop. Right, right, right. So you did 10 minutes? Yep. Twice as much as Nate. Point in front of me. Yeah.

I'm not saying I think I'm that. I'm just saying Dusty apparently thinks. You know what? And you had a cigar after the show. I did. And you did well. I did not. You didn't. But Brian did well at it. It was a redemption for him. We're trying to get a proof right now for life insurance, Ruth and I. Well, you only did a little bit of it. And today I had to do a- I feel like is that too late?

The insurance company may agree with you. Yeah. They may be like, dude, the risk or whatever. Yeah. And so you're calling them, you're on top of the building about to jump. They're like, sir, what are you? We're not going to fund you now. Out of your mind? Yeah. Well, you may be right. You may be right. But anyway, they're asking me all these questions about, do you smoke, blah, blah, blah. And you smoke cigars. And I was like, uh,

In my mind, I thought, are they going to look through social media and see if I'm... They see this picture. I mean, it looks like you are a captain of the sea. That's right. It's like a man knows what I'm doing.

But anyway, I thought I got to tell the truth. So I'm like, I've had like three in the last 10 years. They're like, when was the last one? I said, this past Tuesday. So if I don't get approved for life insurance. You're like, I'm just getting into it. I think you would just, yeah, you should just, I think you could go no. Yeah. I could have gone no. I swear, real fast, I just thought, are they going to see that? Like, did they search and think this guy's lying to me? It's best to be honest.

I know, but I agree. I would be super honest with all that stuff too. I would lie. Well, then I would think to be honest, and I think the older I get, the more I always think, yes, I want to be honest. And then I think, does this person care if I'm honest? I don't think they do. And then so that's what I do the second, to go like, all right, are you just putting yourself in a weird position to be like, you're just a number in this game. And so you just go like,

You know, I'm not going to. And if you really go like, you don't smoke cigars. You don't. And so you. You really just puff on them anyway. Yeah. You inhale them though, right? I don't. I still don't do it right. I'll tell you that. But anyway, so I did that. I did the lab at Zaney's for the first time. Nice. That's such a great room. There's a shrine in there to, especially to Nate. And a big giant poster. He's got a big picture. For Dusty.

And... So, yeah, it looks like they died when you walk in there. Yeah. I thought, what happened? But it was a great show. And when you and I talked Saturday, I took a CPR class. Ruth and I took a CPR class Saturday. Okay. And we took one too... Because of the cigar? Yeah. We took one two years ago, right, when Eleanor was born, and we both said...

I don't remember a thing from that class. So we went and did it again Saturday. Now was a lot of it muscle memory or was it all brand new for you? No, we all had a, like a little dummy to practice on. You guys are really getting in on the CPR thing though. You're like, I don't remember anything. Let's go take it again. Like what are you? I mean, it's just my fear. Our daughter choking or something and you want to know what to do. But we all had a dummy and you're supposed to do like, you know, the 30 beats or whatever. And I'm doing it.

And we're sitting up front, and I notice Ruth standing. And I look around. Everyone around me is standing but me. I'm just sitting at the table. You're still doing it? No, I mean, they're doing it. But they're all standing, and I'm just lazy just sitting there. Yeah, you can't really get force. Yeah. That's when I was kind of like, I did this two years ago. I know what I'm doing. But anyway. So I did that one.

Well, I was in Sunnyvale, California at the Rooster Teeth Feathers. Three great shows. A lot of people came out. It was very fun. So thank you to everybody that came. Great club. It's a good time. Yeah. And I know that we talked about my whole thing, but yeah, I was at Dr. Grin's in Grin Rapids. Great. I've been going there for years. It's very fun. Yeah. I opened for you there once, I think.

I think I did. Did you? Yeah. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. I was trying to remember all the times that I'd been there. I like it there. I'm a big fan of that club. Yeah. What happened to you on the way here? Oh, oh yeah. Well, I went and had coffee and then I was at Starbucks and I was backing out and I heard someone, I wasn't paying attention. I was just backing out and I heard someone honk and then I hit him and I was like, oh geez, in my truck. And I got out and it was a younger girl who,

And I go, I just go, I'm sorry about that. And then she's took off and we're, and we're talking and I'm not even really looking at her car, but it looks fairly beat up on the fender. And I just like, ah, here we go again. I haven't done this in a long time, but I've been through this. You're sober this time. Yeah. I've been through this many times, but it has been a long time. And she goes, she's pretty young, probably in her twenties. And she goes, you know what? Don't even worry about it.

She goes, I'm already having a rough day. She goes, she points to her window where she has a bag on the window and she goes, somebody already broke into my car. She goes, I'm already having a rough day. It doesn't matter. And I go, oh gosh. I go, well, I'm so sorry about that. And I go, let me do this. And I just took my wallet and I just gave her the cash that was in my wallet.

I was like, just take this. And it was not a ton of money. Eight bucks? No, it was significant, but not a ton of money. But it was like, I was just like, you know what? What she's doing for me right now by letting me go is saving me money on insurance. And time and annoyance. And I just was like, I had the regular money in there. And then I had a little emergency bill in there. And I was like, just...

I gave her some money at first. And then I go, you know what? Just take this. And then I was like, you know, and she goes, oh, no, this is okay. This is okay. And I go, just take this too. I just tried to hook her up because I was like, you just hooked me up. It's so nice. $78. What's your emergency bill? 20. Well, I probably gave her 250 bucks. That's great. That's great. Yeah. This is the dream is to hit somebody and they go, what does it matter?

Right. And I also thought, you know what? She just had her car broken into. This girl is having a rough day. Things are going well for me. And what she just did for me was a real gift. Also a time saver because I texted Laura, your wife, and I go, hey, I just had a meeting with this guy and I'm on my way, but I'll probably be there right at time.

And then the soon as I sent that text, I backed out and hit that girl. And then I go, oh, and I also just had a fender bender. So, and then I get out and the girl goes, you're good, whatever, who cares? Yeah. But I've also done that for people in the past too. So I felt like that finally just came back around to me.

There you go. That's karma, man. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. Who cares? What does it matter anyway? What does it matter? A lady hit me one time. Well, stuff's going pretty good for me. Did you say that to her? Actually, my life's pretty awesome right now. Working, man, on Netflix. Yeah. You seen it? Well, a lady hit me on the interstate one time driving. She pulled into my lane. It hit and we pulled over, looked at the cars and I was trying to get somewhere and I go, don't worry. I go, it does. It's fine. It's not that much damage. It doesn't matter.

And she goes, all right, good. And then she gets back in the car. We get back in the car. I'm driving on there and I see the lady come. She's coming flying up behind me. And then she gets beside me and flags me. And I go, all right. So I pull over and she goes, my daughter said that you hit us. And I go, all right. Well, I go, I'm letting you go here. I go, so if you want to call the cops, that's fine. But I'm going to tell them that you hit me.

And so whatever you want to do, I was like, I'm letting you go here. Yeah. And she goes, okay. And then she got back in and we drove off. Did, was the daughter in the car? Yeah. And she's grown.

I don't know. I think the daughter was a kid. Oh, but you hit, she did hit you. Yeah. I was in the, the, the left lane. She was in the right lane. She got over. I went into the like median almost to get away from this lady. And she hit my front fender. Wow. And I was like, but I was like, I don't care. It's not that much damage. I'm trying to get somewhere. I was feeling a little sick that day. Yeah. I was like, just let me get back in the car. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know?

I've had a lot of fender benders. I mean, I've talked to people out of it before. I go, that doesn't really look that bad. I'll give you some money to get it buffed out. I was in a car with my brother. Once we hit this woman, she hops out. It was my brother's fault. He just ran it. She gets out of the car and she goes, I'm a level with you. I ain't got no insurance. I ain't got no license. I got to pick up my kids. And we were like, all right, see ya. She just drove away. Her car was pretty wrecked from it, but she was like, I can't, I can't call somebody. Yeah. Yeah.

What she probably needs is rocket money. That's right. Most Americans think they spend about $62 per month on subscriptions. Well, they're idiots. The real number is closer to $300. Over 74% of people have subscriptions they've forgotten about. How closely do you watch your bank statements? I don't have time to constantly check every single charge. I usually just assume everything's fine until something weird pops up. But now we use

Rocket Money. It's a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. There's a dashboard there. You can take a look at all your month's spending compared to last month, see your spending habits. They can even help you create a custom budget to keep your spending on track. Rocket Money has over 5 million users and has saved a total of $500 million.

and canceled subscriptions, saving members up to $740 a year when using all the app's features. You'd be a moron not to use this. Stop wasting money on things you do not use.

Let's turn to your comments. Jake Pru. Prowl. Pru. Jake on the prowl. Prowl.

When Nate showed up at Dusty's show, my jaw dropped through all three floors of the Bob. Best show ever, and Dusty's new set is the best yet. All right. Nate was pretty good, too. Why would you say that? Yeah. Did you put that in there? Brian added that part. That sounds like it's got you all over it. I mean, obviously, I like it. I know. That's the stuff that you would do, but you never say anything nice, ever.

You don't ever privately say anything nice. You only say that. Am I wrong? That looks like you wrote it. He's trying to be funny. This is how I take Jake's comment. He's shocked that my set was good, and then he was like, well, of course, Nate was good, so I'm going to make a joke here. Pretty good is not a...

He's just trying to be funny. Yeah. But I appreciate this comment because to be honest with you, I thought that show, I thought we had just given some people like this most amazing show. And I was looking around for comments about it and I could not find anyone commenting about it. I'm like, we just get for $25. You got like the best show. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, you got a lot of headlines. Yeah. And I could not find any comments about it. I was like, come on, guys. Let's get it together right here. Yeah. I don't know. It's like, yeah. Some of it's like, yeah. It's a mix of like, well, who do we think we are anyway to think that they should do anything? But then I also think there's a mix of people just take stuff for granted and no one cares. There's a world where

No one appreciates any little thing that they get to see that's kind of out of the ordinary. But Jake thought so. Jake gets it. And then so. His jaw dropped through the big old building. Yeah. I hate that I know that's what it stands for. What if he. What if it was a guy named Bob? Yeah, and he's like, thank goodness Stephen Rogers said Nate definitely not going to be on this show. Yeah. Because if not, his jaw wouldn't have dropped. No, no.

Chris Hickle. In the last 15 months, I was introduced to Nate, watched all of his specials, listened to 204 podcasts, and now finally got to see him live in Cedar Rapids. We had to drive five hours each way, but it was worth it. We already had tickets. We already had tickets to see Dusty and St. Paul in November. Now we need Aaron and Breadbasket to come to Minnesota, and all will be right with the world. Alright.

All right. There you go. That's fine. How does that make you guys feel to know that they drove to Cedar Rapids to see Nate, but they need you guys? I know. I thought about that. Come to our backyard. We'll see you. I mean, Minneapolis is a big. That's true. They're going to St. Paul. Yeah. Yeah. I was in St. Paul.

two or three months ago. So, yeah, that's okay. Next time I come. Yeah. They don't mention Minneapolis. I don't think they're saying to go see dusty in St. Paul. They need to come to Minnesota. Well, St. Paul's in Minnesota. Yeah. So, so,

T-Rapids, yeah. That's very nice. Thank you for coming. I had a lot of people. I did Huntsville back-to-back weekends, once me headlining the next Sunday with you. I had a lot of people on your show reach out to me and say, hey, we're at the show. We'd love to meet you. Is there any chance we could come backstage and meet you? And I'm like, well, I was here last Sunday. I could have given you a ride home. I'd have come to your house. Yeah.

What they're really saying is maybe we could see Nate while we're back there pretending to talk to you. Well, I love to just make fun of people in the comments. I don't, I'm not mad at anyone. No, I met a guy. He goes, man, I'm from Florida. When are you going to come down there with Nate? I go, well,

Probably never, but I'm doing a club there. He goes, all right, cool, man. Let me know if you come down there with Nate. That's fair. I think it's like shopping, where you're just kind of like, I just kind of want it all together. Yeah, I get it. I get it.

A guy sent me a thing today. It was a whole movie idea he had written for you. And I go, I think you meant to send this to Nate. Yeah. He sent it to me too. I didn't get it. Dang. Well, you don't know anything about Hollywood. That's true. That's true. Yeah. There's a lot. Yeah. Lana Hoffman. Lana or Lana? Lana Hoffman. I think Lana. My husband...

Thanks, I am in love with Dusty and Nate, but lately, I think Aaron's brain makes him pretty hot too. Aaron will be a great dad, love these guys so much. Oh. Yeah. Thank you, Lena. That's, I mean... I appreciate that you're not into us for our brains. Yeah. I was even mentioned... And not into Brian at all. Oh, well, yeah. But she thinks...

Your brain, that's good, though. Yeah, I'll take that. She's someone that's not into superficial stuff. Yeah. Rest of you, not so much. But that thinker. Yeah, that's what I mean. It gets a good, you know, yeah. Tough to look at, but man. You could wear velvet all day. George Casanza, wouldn't he wear velvet? Yeah. I could be draped in velvet. You can be whatever you want to be, Aaron.

Well, my wife's like that. Thankfully, she has to be. I mean, I'm the least manly man there is. And she's basically like that woman that George's girlfriend. But...

She's the more kind of driven in y'all's relationship. As far as the stuff she did with the White House. It's a very high... You're the artist. I don't think of you as not manly. I don't think that either. Well, thank you. She's very sweet that she doesn't care that I don't know how to fix things or whatever. Yeah, but I don't know how to fix things. Well, she's not married to you.

Yeah, but I'm saying that's not manly. Like, it's the manly things not to fix it. You just don't, you know, you're weak. All right. I think she's not threatened. I think if there was a domestic abuse and a cop showed up, I think they would come to you and go, do you want to press charges? I don't think they would.

even kind of think exactly yeah exactly that's my point yeah but that's you're still a man as a guy that knows how to fix some things though i do think it is you know manly to be able to fix it yeah i would think that too well anyway i was trying to share something kind of funny uh we had some guys over doing some work at our house and she was going to grocery store and she was like all right

I'm going, are you at a Metamucil? You need me to pick up some Metamucil? I mean, all the guys heard it, and I was trying to be a cool dude until then. And I'm like, that's something you could just share. Yeah, it should be a tap. George Costanza got that orthopedic pillow. Yeah, orthopedic back pillow. Yeah. What is Metamucil? Just helps you. It's like fiber. Helps you. Oh. Yeah, you got to be like, don't.

Don't bring up the Metamucil in front of, now you've already said it on the podcast, but it's like, no. Well, but it's almost like better here. Yeah, it is. There's a lot of stuff I'm saying on the podcast that I would be like, don't bring it up in front of dudes. Right. Like, let me be a dude. But, you know, I wish, I always think fixing something, I don't know how to fix any, I always think I could, I could figure something out. Laura does do all the handyman, that's just the stuff she likes.

in my mind kind of goes another direction. But I thought about like trying to figure out how to fix a car. Then I just can't tell if I care or not. Cars are so complicated now that they don't even want you to be able to do it. Yeah. All computers, right? Yeah. You need all this equipment to be able to do it. I could use a good mechanic in Nashville if anybody's listening. That's a mechanic. Okay.

I like to throw that out there. I tried to get my ear to the road. I tried to get that pitch out there and I feel like there was something going on and it got real jokey and, uh, or something. And so my,

cry for a good mechanic was lost right now no like episodes several episodes oh yeah okay okay this is more serious still looking for a good mechanic yeah but you know we can still be joking gotta fix your truck too yeah well I think it's okay my truck held up I don't to be honest that girl's car I don't even know if I did the damage to it yeah it had been through some stuff like her yeah yeah I guess so yeah

Anyway, we're having a good time. That's good. Was she happy about the money? I think so. Yeah. I think she was like, no, this really wasn't helpful. Like, I don't even care about getting the car fixed. I'm going to use this money for something. Yeah. What if you just see her again?

What if it's staged and you see the same thing? You're waiting outside the Starbucks again to get hit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then she just, as the person backs up, she just goes, it doesn't matter anymore. And you go, oh, I feel so bad. I got to respect the hustle, though. I mean, if she's doing it. Yeah, she was good at it. Yeah, because she could be charging. And a guy like you, though, I don't think, you know, she would take a big gamble to be like, I don't think if you're going to let someone hit you,

I don't know if you're going to. Right. But maybe you look like someone that's like, neither one of us want the government involved. That could be true. That could be true. You know, it's kind of like, you got to be careful. You can't just go hit. Yeah. If it's someone, super nice car, that's going to be like, you know, they're not even going to know how to,

talk to you outside of the system. He looks like he does everything under the table. Yes. Yes. Yes. They want it all. Off the books kind of way. Yeah. She nailed it. I mean, that's why if she's got an eye for it, she deserves the money. And if she does, I mean, this girl's very talented. Like you could be like, you'd be like, you should be hired to do something. Yeah. Yeah. Brianna Cornett. Brianna. Yeah. Probably Brianna. Cornett. Brianna Cornett.

Yeah, it feels like a married name. Like Jim Cornette. Yeah, it feels like. I bet. I have no idea, but I feel like it feels like a married name. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with Bush's Beans on dodgeball. Bush's Beans. When we played growing up, there were different sides, but each player was trying to be the last standing. And at the end, it was always one winner. Yeah, I don't know what y'all – you and –

Your boy did. Bush's beam. Yeah. Why? You know, there was always different sides. There's a lot of people that said that. Why would you even have different sides? Yeah. Why would you play with? There's a line in the middle that you can't cross. Yeah. Here's the thing. The only time we played. Okay. It's raining outside, so we can't go out on the playground. Sure. So you're in the gym. Teachers take us in the gym. Teacher just wants to go smoke or something. Sure. Half of you go over there. Half of you go over here. Nobody's reading the ADA rule book.

But I mean, just, I know, but if you, if I told a dog, two dogs, one go this side, one go this side, I think they would probably be like, I bet there's something to do with these sides. Yeah. Why would they make us go stay on these sides? But if you go on, if they say go side to side and then you run, like, I mean, you could just get hit. The person standing there, there's no reason for sides. I mean, the only rule was just throw it against the person on the other side of the line of the half court line.

Then there is sides. And so if you can't. Well, that's what we played that day. Oh, right. Yeah. But I'm saying there is like she's saying there's, oh, you know, there were different sides, but each pair is trying to be the last standing. You're trying to be the last standing on your team and then your team wins. So that your team wins. But if I got knocked out, well, I said that last time you just said, but that means I'm mean, but nobody cared. Once you got knocked out, if the guy that happened to be on your side was the last man standing,

Oh, interesting. What if the one side had several people still standing? Did you then turn on each other or did you just celebrate as a team? Oh, that's a good question. Yeah. Yeah. You would be like the other team won. I guess so. I guess I see what you're saying. And like, it's just trying to be out of the group who is...

but you mean this side wins versus this side. You, I guess you are trying to be, you don't want to get hit obviously, but then you could also bring people back in, I think in some ways, but it's, uh, I,

I kind of see what you're saying, but it's almost pretty interesting to like, it's this train of thought that how something's presented and some people look at it as a team sport. And then some people look at it as like purely individual. Yeah. And you've never even crossed your mind. We're eight. They're just smoking with the teacher. But I think if I had lunch with you and Brian, I think I'd be like, okay, I get it. Okay. Like it would be,

There's a chance. Yeah. All the people that are inside of you, that there's a chance that they're kind of like, you know, a little bit loners, like, you know, just, you know, but they, and it's not, it's not because people are not talking to them. It's because they don't even, they just assume everybody's, they're only out for themselves. Yeah.

Is that fair, Brian? No, it's not fair, but, but I don't know, but there's a lot of people that said they were that way. I would like to have a Nate land dodgeball tournament. There is, I am amazed how many games I don't know the rules to, or I guess I was more amazed how many you guys did know. Like when we do like a little Olympics, um,

Set up on the road. I'll set up a fun thing in the Olympics where we would go. We had one room. It was like ping pong, foosball, ice, air hockey, and then Cornell. You know the rules for ping pong, right? Basically. Yeah. But, I mean, that was not basically new, but I still had to ask, like, what do you play to? Just little stuff like that. Okay.

uh, cornhole. I didn't know, like you get to, I didn't know what you play too. And if you get, if you go over busting, you go back. I didn't know that. I would have to, but there's some stuff I would have to go ask with that. As you, you, when you, when you go play, you go, what, what rules are we? Yeah. What's the system? Yeah. I felt like everybody knew except me, but maybe not air hockey is the only one that really is just,

pretty as simple as it is. No, no. I think everybody kind of asked the guard. We're playing 11. You got to let it hit. You just ask like a couple things that you go like for cornhole. I don't know if I've played not going over, but I guess if you can't, you can go over. I don't think I've played like that. Maybe like you go over 21. You got to go back to 13. I like that. I like that. It's fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't, I don't know if I've ever played like that. So that would be, you know, you just ask. Yeah.

Not everybody's out to get you. That's good advice for you. What? You and Brandon. Not everybody's out to see trying to get you. Bush's beans. Yeah. Derek Thomas. Dusty tooting his own horn by eating organic fruit because it's healthy while smoking cigars full of chemicals. Well, I want to just say, I'm not tooting my own horn about eating organic fruit. What I'm saying is,

That unless you're just eating fruit for taste, which is fine, if you're not eating organic fruit, then you're not really –

doing anything for yourself. There's no nutritional value. That's my understanding. And I also, as far as I know about cigars, each cigar, every cigar is hand rolled. I don't know that they're so chemical laced. I mean, I'm sure there's some chemicals involved, but I think a cigar is the best form of this type thing where it's all grown, dried, and then hand rolled. I don't know that it's so chemical laced.

I don't know. We hope so. I just, you know, I'm sure there's some chemicals involved in whatever process, but you know, I'm just saying I'm not tooting my own horn and I'm also not promoting tobacco as some healthy thing. Sure, sure. Even when I make jokes about it, I am being like the whole, my whole joke about cigarettes is like, I pretend like they're great while describing them as terrible. I mean, that's the whole point. And you quit. Yeah. Yeah. I've not smoked cigarettes in forever.

But it's cool that you smoke cigars. It is cool. I'm very cool. Yeah. I'm very cool.

but, but I, yeah, I'm not promoting this and I'm not saying, you know, sometimes I'll eat organic fruit and then just to keep the health going, I'll have a cigar. Chase down that pineapple. I mean, yeah. I mean, obviously that's not good. Nobody's recommending it for health. Yeah. Maybe for lowering your stress. Josh McCain, uh, Josh McCain, uh,

Darth Vader completely ignores his daughter for three movies. Terrible dad.

Well, last week on the Father's episode, we were looking at some movie characters and good dad or bad dad. So now I was making an argument for Darth being a good dad. He wanted his son to go in the family business. Oh, but like Princess Leia. But he didn't know she was his daughter until the very end. That's true. And do we, you know, we only see what they show us. We don't know what was going on behind the scenes. Maybe behind the scenes, he was trying to call her. Right. She wasn't taking his call. She was too busy for her dad. Yeah. You know, you never know. Yeah.

But he could just pop up in a room on a screen and be like, how's it going? Yeah. I don't think he, yeah. And when the, at the end of Empire Strikes Back, or no, Return of the Jedi, when it's obvious Luke doesn't want to go into the family business, that's when he senses, oh, you have a twin sister I didn't know about. Maybe she'll come join the family business. Right. He just wants it a family, just family. It's family first kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Kyle Cook, no mention of Full House when it comes to dead sitcoms. Speaking of Full House, I was there this weekend. I went by the Full House house. Which one is it? I don't know. We debated the whole time we were there. How do you know where to take the picture? It's on Google Maps. You can find it. It's called the Painted Ladies.com.

And what is it? Just the outside is what they use. That's the street. And it's right across from a park called the Alamo Square Park. And it's packed. There's so many people out there just hanging out. It's a bit of a tourist attraction. I think the Full House house is on sale right now for almost $4 million. Really? That house right there. Yeah, one of them. They all look the same. Where is it? This is in San Francisco. Okay. You ever watch Full House? Yeah.

At the beginning, they just cut to the outside of it. And it shows him playing in this part. I used to watch the show a lot. Yeah, I mean, it was good. And I think he was a good dad in the show. I think there's... You know, he was kind of a very dirty comic. And he would make jokes about, like, you know, the kids on the show. So I think that's kind of tainted my view of him as a good dad on the sitcom. Well, he was...

He was really a sweet, sweet person. And it was just he had like he had. I mean, dude, he was he's a he's a sweet, sweet person. Yeah. I mean, and I mean, he would say he but he would even when they did the roast of him, he didn't want him to do jokes about the Mary Kay notion. And I should like and I mean, he would like it was he would write a line where he wouldn't.

say stuff like that. But I mean, it's a true, it's a comedian in the fact that that guy's heart is about as sweet of a heart you can have. And it's truly, that's where the jokes he's doing

It is, it is, there is no emotion in any of these jokes. And that's, that's hard for people to say. I understand what you're saying. No malice. There's, I mean, there's literally, there's zero. It's like, and he would be uncomfortable if someone made a joke that was like too crazy. And, but it's, I know what you mean. I could, I definitely know what you mean. There were three dads, not just him. But I mean, but it's like, he's the. Two uncles. Yeah. Oh, there were uncles? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Yeah. I know what you mean. Yeah. But I think even Dave Coulier, when you like, I don't know, I think all of them, like they're, they're real life stuff. Like you, you, we watch them as kids and then you see all the real life stuff. And then you're like, it's hard to like separate it then from the dads. Yeah. So you don't like the Cosby show anymore. No. And then, no. And then you see how Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, like turned out to be like, you know, you know, just kind of,

I don't know. Seem very troubled. I don't think they are. I think they're out of the limelight. I think they might be billionaires. Well, for sure they are, but they're, I mean, from their own thing. Yeah.

They just disappeared from the limelight. No one even knows where they're. It Takes Two was a great movie. You guys remember that one? I do remember that. And I want to correct it. This house is on sale right now for $6.5 million. I was going to buy it. Yeah. If it was just three. Four, I think you said, right? Yeah. Yeah. I think if you asked it, like all the, you could be the one, the way you got to look at it is the way how the people that he's talking about thought about him. Yeah. And they loved him. Yeah.

I just mean, yeah, I just mean from a standpoint of it's hard to be like, oh, he was a great dad when you, you know, show wise, when you see the different personalities. Well, I mean, you don't want people to go see him, but he was a, I mean, a truly sweet, sweet, sweet. Imagine being a full house fan and being like, ooh, I want to go see Bob Saget. Well, that was a problem when he would go see it, but it wasn't like,

But it just shows that people can be two things. They are two. He's someone that's... I'm not mad at the guy. No, no, yeah. But he's a perfect example of seeing that someone could be two things. Yeah, his mind for comedy and whatever it was was a lot dirtier than anybody expected. And they were like, oh, I thought you were the sweet guy. You're like, well, he is that sweet person. He is. I mean, he was... I mean, dude, it was like...

Just a wonderful. No one ever had any. I mean, what's that saying? Speak ill of the dead. Yeah. I'm not saying anything bad about it. I know. I know. No, no. That's a whole normal. We had a fun. We had a fun interaction when I did Nashville squares, but they cut it out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's dude. He's his heart is he had a big heart for a lot of people.

But I do. Yeah, it was. I mean, it took a long time for people to. I mean, imagine back, you know, I would understand being very upset. But back in the day when he would when he was on Full House to be like, oh, we're going to go watch. And they probably think they're going to see my act. Yeah, they're going to see my act. And then it's like completely the opposite. Wild. Yeah. But even when he would be dirty like that, he doesn't.

He was never doing it with like, I want you to be uncomfortable. Like, I think he would feel bad to be like, I'm sorry that this is just what I think.

I can only think of like, you know, like there's comics that are like, Oh, I'm going to be mean and dirty. And I want you to be uncomfortable. I want to walk. I want to, yeah. I want to, yeah. Like where it's very direct at the audience where it's, and I think that that hurts comedy because then people are scared to go to a show. Cause they're like, well, you're going to just trash me and yell at me and be mean to me. And then where he was, it was like just at a,

I don't think he wanted to do that, but he did walk a lot because people were just like, yeah, this is not what I signed up for. Joseph, I was the DJ for all my kids' elementary school dances. I played the uncut version of the song Blurred Lines because it was a fun song. They never had me back. I'm a Nate. I don't hear or comprehend music lyrics as long as it's fun. You might need to start doing that if you're a DJ.

For elementary school. There's a chance DJs don't listen to. That's true. But when it's an elementary school band. Yeah. That's very funny because there's the radio version of that song and the real one are like completely different. Yeah. But the music video is just naked people. Yeah. If I remember correctly. Yeah. I don't know anything about it. You know the song? No. That's Alan Thicke's kid.

I think I remember them talking about it because they did a thing with Miley Cyrus at the award ceremony where he was dressed like Beetlejuice. Yeah. Yeah. Well, speaking of TV dads, that's the son of TV dad, Alan Thicke. Oh, yeah. Growing pains. That's pretty crazy. Yeah. Drew Hood. My grandfather would record TV movies and they get my cousins and me to watch the movies while recording slash copying it to another tape.

And Paul's the new recording tape during commercials. So that later when he went to watch the one we recorded, he went at the fast forward. We got paid 25 cents a tape. I was 12 at the time. Thought it was a solid deal. That is a good deal. That's great. Grandfather gets it. Do you get that Aaron? What's going on? Yeah. Yeah. I get it. We used to do that a little bit. Yeah. The man that's 25 cents for like a two hour movie.

Yeah, but the time of doing this, 25 cents was a lot more. That was when the VHS was invented. Yeah, I mean, maybe he'd be like, all right, we go do five of these. It's like a dollar and a quarter. You make enough to get a 20-ounce Coke at the store. Oh, yeah, you could get probably a couple. I remember a 16-ounce Coke for 59 cents and candy for 59 cents. I do remember that. Whoa.

Whoa. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think, yeah. I mean, yeah. My, in my life, $5 used to be a lot. Yeah. As a kid, I remember an old episode of little house on the Prairie. You remember that show, Brian? Yeah. Uh,

where the kids were playing football. When is that supposed to take place? The 1800s? Yeah. The kids are playing football, which I don't even know if that's accurate. I don't think that's a game they were playing at the time. I think I know the episode you're talking about. But they're betting on it. I remember the kid goes, I bet you 25 cents. And the other kid goes, where did you get 25 cents? And I remember laughing and laughing as a kid. I was like, I have almost a dollar on me and these idiots.

are fighting over 25 cents. Do you remember that episode? I don't know if it was the same episode. I remember an episode where they played the other school in football. Yeah. And they had, the other school was big and powerful. And they picked, they picked the kid up. It was a blind kid on their team. And they had a blind kid? On, on,

the prairie team and they he the last play of the game the blind kid picked the kid up and threw him over the line just for a touchdown that's the episode that's the episode and it ends with laura engel saying history says the first recorded ford pass was blah blah blah but it really happened on little house in the prairie and such and such day wow 25 cents times change times do change

What is it? Christopher O'Brien. What does each of you do for a sound check? Write all full jokes, try out variations, current joke, count, just say hello folks over and over.

Yeah, my sound check is... Nate's the only one doing sound check. I mean, do you do sound check at the theater? I do a little bit, yeah. Okay. Do you do it at a club? Not at a club. A club, you know. I can see. I was like... Club you just show up and you figure it out. Yeah, I just go, yeah, I do it. And I just kind of walk kind of in the circle and just go, yep, yep. Hello, hello. Yep, yep, yep. Check one, two, one, two. I just say like that. So old jokes?

Yeah. Yeah. Right off. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. That's actually, man, it's part of my act. Yeah. So I don't want it to be, but there's, I do try to make people laugh with, uh, but it never almost ever happens. And then I go, I go, uh, is the light shading my face because of my hat? And then I try to work around that. And then they go, yes. And you go, well, I'm still wearing it. I go, what about now? And then I'll try to lift it higher.

You know, it's funny on those soundchecks is your tour manager, Travis. Yeah. He does. Well, he'll do like Trump impersonate. Pretty good one. Yeah, he does. Yeah. He's, he's pretty good at impersonation. So he'll do some impersonations and do everything. Yeah. So they do it all more just to, it's usually them, Tony and Travis are getting it. I ran into Tony out there on the streets. Oh yeah. Yeah.

That's fun. What streets? Oh, in Grand Rapids. Oh, okay. Yeah. I meant just here. You know, that's what people always talk about with bands because in comedy, our sound check is, I mean, it's, I don't even know if it's 30 seconds. It's, I mean, now I've had

We have a creative audio is does all my stuff and they're great. And they've been with me forever. So every place is basically the same. Now it's the same guys out with me. The arena is just that way. But I always did it because I was like, I always like doing it because you want to just, you just want to hear your voice in the arena. So you just maybe the first time's not on the,

you know, just when you first walk out there. Sometimes it is though. Yeah. But yeah, they know it's good. But yeah, our sound checks are nothing. Uh, Jackie Webster, my best friend's dad just retired as an air Marshall. And even though he traveled his whole career, he has zero status status on any airline since the tickets are not purchased and the airline gives the seat. He also has any, hardly any hotel rewards, uh,

Because he often does a flight to a location and one back. Just thought it was an interesting fact for a tough travel day. That's a hard thing for me to say. Yeah, for some reason that was. Just thought it was an interesting fact for a tough travel day. For a tough travel day. Yeah, I think a lot when there's just too many words that are like tough and fact. Like it adds like a little. A consonance.

Yeah, yeah, confidence. You know what? I've been forgetting what that word was. Speaking of which, how about Wheel of Fortune? Pat Sajak retired after how many years, Brian? Like 40. Didn't he used to work in TV news in Nashville or something? Yeah, he was a weatherman. He was a weatherman in Nashville? Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

You know, I don't really remember that, but here's what I do remember. Were you there? I mean, Brian's having to think about it. It's close. Not that I was working there, but I'm thinking about whether I remember him, which I don't. But I do vaguely remember, I think I've told this on this podcast, he got his own late night talk show for a while. Oh, okay. And his sidekick...

was Dan Miller, who was the longtime news anchor at Channel 4 here in Nashville. So for a while, Dan Miller left, went to California. The show short-lived, didn't last very long, and then Dan Miller came back to Nashville. So you think Dan Miller was maybe dragging him down because then he got Vanna White and had a very successful show for a few years. It was a different show then. Yeah. Yeah.

I guess he was doing both shows at the time. I'm going to blame Dan Miller. Who's hosting it now? I don't know if they've announced it yet, but the show's still going to go on. Vanna White's staying on. Oh, no. I think it's Ryan Seacrest. I think it is, too. Is it really? Oh, but Vanna White's sticking around. Yeah. Who's doing Jeopardy? Ken Jennings. Yeah. Oh, permanently? I think so. He's been on there a lot. It was a whole thing of who they're going to pick. I feel like I caught a lot of these guys past their prime, dude.

Just the way like Bob Barker was keeling over by the time I was watching Price is Right. And I thought, I don't get that. I mean, I like him, but he's not.

It was just a staple. Pat Sajak's that way, too. I like Pat Sajak because by the time I was old enough to watch Wheel of Fortune, it felt like, dude, this guy does not care about the show anymore. That's what it felt, and that was kind of funny to me. This guy's been doing it 40 years. He's so bored by it. Yeah, but Vanna White still wants to do it. It's crazy to think you could go, you worked at for that long, and then you're like... But I think they want to do it

Because A, it's like there's nothing else to do. And when they go shoot these game shows, I want to say they're done in a couple of weeks. For a whole year almost? I honestly want to say, I don't know for sure, but I'm almost positive it's like you go hammer them out two weeks straight and then you don't work the rest of the year. So that would be a hard job to give up because...

Why would you? I mean, you're like, just block these two weeks off. And then if you're Vanna White, you go make a nice chuck of money. And then you just go like, yeah, I do. I do nothing. Just big time vacation. Yeah. Like, yeah, we're going to do it in February where nothing's going on. What do you think Vanna White's up to? You don't see her in the tabloids. So what do you think she does when she's not working? Well, she's.

60 something years old but you never saw her in it what do you think she's up to I think she was probably a long time ago she was definitely she was like yeah she like dated people and like she still looks great Miss Georgia USA 67 I think she was in Playboy magazine I don't think so yeah

She's on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She's been here since 1977. She's from North Myrtle Beach. I stayed in a hotel in North Myrtle Beach, and they were really letting you know that Vanna White's from there. Really? Yeah. She was a contestant on Price is Right. Was she? Mm-hmm. Before anybody knew who she was. Vanna White, come on down. She owns the yarn brand Vanna's Choice. That's where I know her from. Yeah. I was wondering where all the good yarn is.

Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. Those hands on that, and that same act, they've turned a lot of letters. Them hands have. Well, she hasn't even turned them in at least 20 years, has she? She's touched it now. Oh, yeah. Oh, but originally it was a physically turned. Like turn it. Yeah. Whoa. Okay. Now then you just touch it. No, you just go. Just gas. Yeah. I mean, there, yeah, it's, it's, there's,

It's a job that there's no reason for her to even really be there. Cause you're like, we could do it. But it's, it is nice that they keep it. Cause it's like, you do, you know, we used to have a will of fortune video game on super Nintendo. Yeah. Super phone. Wow. Look at, she's the world's most prolific television clapper.

She got a Guinness World Record. And as of 2013, she clapped an estimated 3.4 million times across the show's 30 seasons, an average of 606 claps per show. Wow. That's pretty cool. Yeah. Yeah. I've clapped a lot, too. You clap 3.4 million times on television? I don't know. I did Nashville Squares. That's all they showed of me was clapping. Yeah.

Yeah. This is a great thing that they keep her there, though. It shows that, you know, because really out of all the game shows, there's no reason for someone to be touching these things anymore. But it is like if you got rid of that, you would be like you just lose the kind of touch of the show and the show becomes like, well, who cares now? Like, you know. Well, didn't she want to host it? They said no. Oh, I don't know.

And then Pat Sajak would touch the numbers. They just switch roles. Aaron Maul. Has there been a joke you've told that has surprised you on how popular or funny the joke became? Like you believe the joke was good, but they were legitimately surprised at how funny the audience thought it was. Conversely, has there been a joke you felt was really funny but never really took off with audiences? Both, many times. Yeah.

What was I trying to think? Yeah. Like for Nate, for you, did you think, or how soon did you know that like the Starbucks stuff would be a thing that so many people cling on? When I first said it, I didn't think, I was like, let me just try it and see if anybody's had this experience. And then, then it did good and it got a big pop. So then you're like, all right, it is good. So I think there's any, there, there has been stuff where I have a couple of spots like where, you know,

I did it on Saturday Night Live. It is in my new act. It will be on my new special. The Saturday Night Live when I did reading is the key to smart, I believe. When I came up with that, I don't know if I know why that's funny. It was funny. I was just saying these words backwards in a funny way. But if you told me, well, why do you think that's funny? I'd be like, I don't know.

you know it's almost wouldn't do anybody any good to really analyze it yeah it's like i'm sure like i'm saying the sentence wrong yeah but it's yeah i just said it the way i felt like saying it and then and it just would get enough of a it just fit i didn't need it to be a big giant thing but you know so yeah sometimes you do a joke and you're like yeah i don't really know

Uh, and, and Michigan, I was saying, I'm always up here in the winter time, you know, I'm finally up here in the summer and they say the summers in Michigan are beautiful, but you know, really summer's beautiful everywhere. Yeah. It's a good season. Yeah. Yeah. That was funny. Yeah. And that was going well, but I, you know, you just rambling. You can say that anyway. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good season. Yeah. That could maybe its own joke. Yeah. Uh,

I love an ad rate. You're good at it. You're good at it. You're getting good at it. All right. Special deal. This week. For special people. We could talk a little bit about dreams. Dreams like aspirations? Dreams like goals? Or dreams like actual dreams? Well, we can talk about whatever you want. Or the song by Fleetwood Mac. Yeah. Yeah.

That's also accurate. I was thinking about what happens while you're asleep. There you go. But we'll go whatever direction you want. Have you guys ever had like a recurring dream or a dream like that still sticks with you for whatever reason? Yes. I had a recurring dream when I was a kid that I was in our family minivan and somebody put us in a microwave. We were small and got put in a microwave.

And then I woke up. Did you watch Honey, I Shrunk the Kids? Right around there. Did that happen in that? No, but I mean, they got shrunk. They got shrunk. So maybe that's where just that concept came from. Yeah. But I remember. We know where Microwave came from. Yeah. Yeah. We got that piece of the puzzle. We've solved this. Yeah.

We got to the bottom of it. There it is. It was that easy. That was pretty easy. You probably didn't think about that your whole life.

Wait, what happened? It was like as soon as the microwave started, I'd wake up. You'd have that joke over and over again? Dream. What did I say? Joke. You had that dream over and over again? Yeah. I mean, over and over again is maybe nine or ten times as a kid. And I remember it was real scary. But that's the only time I've had a recurring dream. I haven't remembered a dream in a long time. But I feel like as a kid, you really remember the details of it. They're a little more vivid.

Yeah. When I waited tables, I would have dreams about waiting tables, being real busy or real behind. And then over the years, it's it's less so now, but I've had dreams about selling pesticides and I would have like I had like 30 stores and the dream would be like kind of like, oh, I've not been to this store in a long time. I got to get to this store kind of thing.

So that kind of reoccur. Yeah. I think I have like that kind of stuff, like where it's, uh, I have a lot of that.

Where it's like, oh, I got to get to, I got to hurry up and I got to do this. I feel like I get overwhelmed in some dreams. Yeah. And I'll have it during shows or something. Like maybe not during shows, but like I'll have a dream about shows. That's comfortability. Yeah. That's being comfortable on stage. Fall asleep on stage, dreaming. It's in REM sleep. I'll get them back. Take a little nap. Well, that's the thing. You have to work on that because you can just get.

There is a story about Ralphie May falling asleep on stage at Zany's once. Oh, yeah. I saw Tracy Morgan fell asleep, but he was drinking at Caroline's. Get off. And like he's up there and there and he's just like, you know, just starts nodding off. While he's talking? Oh, he's talking and there's three. I mean, just feel comfortable on stage.

And he's just like, and all these people bought his tickets and the people were furious. And I mean, they start like trying and then someone comes up, they have to grab him like he shouldn't have been on stage and they had to grab him. And then he's walking out and he's like, get off, get off me. Yeah.

And they just had to pull them backstage. People were furious. And they rescheduled. Yeah, I mean, they... I think they gave them all refunds and blah, blah, blah. But yeah, the Carolines. So you have dreams about shows going badly or something? Not going badly. Like, I think now, I feel like recently I've had maybe some dreams about not having enough material, like new material. But yeah, like feeling like, oh, I need to do this over, you know,

I need to go write this. No show specific, just more of like the overwhelmness of everything. I can't think of one. I still occasionally have a recurring dream of being in school. And I haven't, usually it's college. I haven't been all semester and now it's time for the finals. And I'm trying to like,

fake my way through it to somehow pass this class. So I'll have to take it. It's funny. I've had that exact same. I just thought of that. I've had that exact same thing. Like you're, you've been done with college forever, right? You still have that dream. What do you think that is? I mean, where did you get super stressed out in college? Were you ever like, I think it's good. We didn't go to college. Yeah. Yeah. I don't even have a memory to have a reoccurring. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I looked up some of the most recurring dreams that people have. That's kind of one on test taking. Yeah.

And just, I think it's kind of the same thing maybe as yours. I never dreamed about taking a test. I know, but I'm saying we wouldn't. Yeah. But like our version of that would be pesticides and maybe. Yeah. Breathalyzer tests. Yeah. We had nightmares of that. Yeah.

They say it's stress of not being prepared for something in your life that you feel like you need to be prepared for. And that's how it's manifested in our lives. It's like a test that means nothing to a college. Yeah, maybe. I mean, when I wake up, I'm always so relieved that obviously it was a dream and that makes your life feel doing pretty well. Yeah, yeah. You know, I will have dreams. Wouldn't it mean that you need to go get something solved? After reading that?

I will have dreams that I'm secretly drinking.

Yeah. Now I'm not drinking a long time and I'll have dreams that I'm like, like unbeknownst to even you, you know, no, but I'm, no, but I'm like, I'm drinking and, and it's just like, oh yeah, I don't do this a lot. I just, you know, or, or cigarettes too. I've had those kinds of dreams where it's like, yeah, I'm just doing it a little bit, but I'm not, you know, I'm not, I think I've had, I had a dream that I did drink and I don't think I did it on purpose, but I mean, and I woke up and I, I mean, I was like, so,

and like just so down. And I mean, I remember thinking that- After you woke up. No, I remember thinking of like right when I'm about to wake up, like, I mean, I was just like, I cannot believe you did this. You woke up in the dream. Well,

Well, I was like having the dream and I was and I was and it was that I drank and then I'm like, I cannot believe I'm drinking. And then the dream feels real enough that, yeah, then you kind of wake up in the dream. So then you're kind of up and I and I mean, just so disappointed to then finally wake up and then you do have the relief. Oh, wait, I didn't do that. You're relieved. But I was but I'm in it is just like.

what are you doing? Like, you know, you can almost cry because you're like, I don't know why, how this happened. I don't know why I'm doing that. You know? Yeah. I mean, I, I'd almost prefer to have a dream like that.

where you wake up and you feel so relieved with your life then i mean i've had dreams the opposite where there's a loved one that's passed away and yeah and you think it's real and then you wake up and you're like you're kind of obviously a little sad but there but it would be sad that they're still there that's the way you frame that yeah no you're you'd be relieved relieved right no i wake up and i'm sad that it was just a dream and they're not with us

Oh, I thought you said somebody died in a dream and then you woke up and you were sad. I guess I said it wrong. Yeah. No, no. I think I just heard it wrong. Hey, you short with them all day. Hey, what? I mean, so weird to me right now. Dreamy. Dreamy. I had to wake up and I loved it. Oh, I get now. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, I think something has to be solved, though. Wouldn't it be that thing's not solved? Do problems in your brain. Are you talking about back to the test? Yeah, if you wake up, even though you feel relieved, like what if I had that drinking thing? It's like, all right, well, it's with food. I'm so mad that I can't stop eating this junk. By the way, I've done keto for the past five days.

Do we know? Oh, really? Yeah. That's keto. Meat and vegetables. Yeah, no one knows. They just do it. Yeah. Like no carbs. No, yeah. Just basically meat. Yeah. And, uh,

but I felt better. I was like, I think this morning I was 195. Yeah. I don't feel, I mean, I was still. Did you see 200? Yeah, I did see 200. Congratulations. Yeah. Yeah. You did it. I did it. I got up to two. I mean, it's a mess. You did it, man. Yeah. A mess.

200 is fun. Well, no one knows for sure why we dream necessarily. There's a few theories that we're processing information from the previous day. Sigmund Freud thinks- We've got so much to process now. We're constantly taking in with our phones. We are almost never at a moment of peace. Yeah. Sorry. You're really not. Yeah. And it really helps when you-

That's where it is. To go sit and have time alone is actually pretty important, especially now where you never have time alone. You actually did have time alone growing up and now because you could just not... The phone is your friend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was no internet. You couldn't just, the second you feel bored, be like, all right, well...

I don't know what I'm going to do. Yeah. Yeah. You got creative. You did things. Yeah. He's like, let me go see if Jim's home. Mm-hmm. Let me walk to his house and knock on his door. Mm-hmm. That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy to do now. Oh, yeah. Yeah. To knock on somebody's door. And go, hey, are they here? Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

I bet some kids do that. Get off my porch. Yeah, kids, friends in the neighborhood or something. Yeah. But like just this morning, I got a knock on the door and I just look at it. It's just a dude standing out there. I'm like, I'm not answering that, dude. Yeah, I do that all the time. I'm waiting this out, dude. You still see it occasionally in TV shows.

because they just, the story's not going to advance right if you just call somebody. So I was watching something the other night set in modern times and they showed up at the door to confront them. And you're like, well, that would not happen. You're right. And that's like a trope in a TV show. Like that would never, watching Friday Night Lights, the show, and this is, yeah,

You know, 2008, 2009, kids were texting then. You don't see a single cell phone that whole TV show. They would just go to each other's houses and you're like, you're right, the show would stink if it was all over text. It was Seinfeld, that's all it was. Yeah, Seinfeld show, I mean, they would have figured it out, but it would have been, yeah, everything would have just, you know,

not been everything had been solved very easily I just watched the movie The Breakdown like with Kurt Russell oh I just ordered that movie yeah I not watched it but I just ordered the DVD yeah is that a new movie why'd you order the DVD I'm into DVDs yeah he thinks the government's gonna take away our streaming oh yeah they will but

Maybe not the government, but the... Or they're going to censor a lot of it and stuff, right? 1997, Kurt Russell. A man searches for his missing wife after his car breaks down in the middle of the desert. Yeah, it's... I mean, that's a good plot. Oh, yeah. And it doesn't stop. I mean, it's like... It's a movie that just... Yeah. Like, it just keeps going. Yeah, I do want to watch it. It's great. I know it's an older movie, but I did just order it. It's great. But you... Like, that movie, it's... It's...

You know, like if there's a cell phone, the movie can't exist. Oh, yeah. And but with no cell phone, it's, you know, it's just like super fun and just, you know.

I watched a couple of Westerns this weekend. One I watched was Tombstone. So good. I've never seen it. But I also watch, it's Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp. But I also watched one called Once Upon a Time in the West, which is from the 70s. I think it's better. I mean, I love those old Westerns like that. It's real Charles Bronson. Oh, sure. Got a real grittiness to it. Yeah. True grit. Yeah. Yeah. Real grittiness. Yeah. 83% Rotten Tomatoes. That's probably the highest.

rated movie you've ever mentioned on the podcast. Yeah. Hey,

It's the first one that actually got a tomato. First one that certified fresh. Yeah. He'll come in and go, I saw this movie as a 4%. Yeah. I loved it. Yeah. Yeah. This one was super fun. But look at this one. Higher critics than the audience score. You usually go the other way. You've changed. You've changed. You've changed. You're becoming Hollywood. Look at you siding with the critics and not the people. That's back when the critics were good. Okay. 1997. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah, they've changed since then. Well, the thing is, though, with Rotten Tomatoes, it's not newly shot. So there's a cell phone, actually. And there's a cell phone in this thing. But they have one cell phone. Mm-hmm.

And there's no signal because they're in the middle of nowhere, which would be exactly what happened. 1997. Yeah. I graduated high school. So you would have... My dad had a bag phone in the truck. Yeah, yeah. What's a bag phone? It was in a bag and you had a cord to it, but you could still call wireless. We had a bag phone. Yeah. A bag phone. And you just keep it in the trunk? Truck. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, exactly like that. You'd keep it like that and then it would be...

And if you ever had to use it, I mean, your parents, yeah, people, yeah, your parents would shoot you. Oh, it was for emergencies. Yeah, I feel like we used to call it a car phone. Yeah, we did. Yeah, it was a car phone, but it was, I just remember it was like, do not ever touch this. Like the, it was like, don't accidentally touch it. Don't, because it was like, if you had to use it, it's yeah. I mean,

a dollar it's five dollars a minute it's something stupid where you're like yeah um so dreams uh within five minutes of waking half your dreams are gone within 10 minutes it's 90% gone

When I was younger, I would keep a dream journal. I just wanted to write them down just so I could remember them. I do have some written down. I would never bring them in and read. I'm so curious what you were dreaming about as a kid. Well, this was like late teens. And I used to write dreams down all the time.

I was all about it. Because they say the more you journal your dreams, the more you write them down, then the more you remember. And I was really into dreams. But do you ever do lucid dream? Yeah. That's one way they think you can help train yourself to do it. Because you can train yourself to lucid dream, right? Right. That's what I'm saying. Lucid dream, if people don't know, it's when you realize you're in your dream, you can kind of control your dream. Yeah.

Have you done it? Pretty sweet. If I could do lucid dreams, then I would just want to sleep all the time. Well, it's like Ray Romano and Pete Holmes do it. Really? Yeah. They talked about it before, but they can do it. And Ray Romano can do it where, I mean, I think he has to like, almost like that movie inception, like has to,

You have to have something that tells you if this is real or not real. Cause it's that, that's terrifying. It's that, it's that into it. Yeah. Were you about to say you've done it?

I remember when I was younger, I'd have a dream and realize in the dream I'm dreaming right now. Yeah. And then you usually wake up pretty soon after that. Yeah. But yeah, the goal is to just live in that. You need to be able to do that, fly around and whatever else, you know. I've had dreams where I, in my dream, I thought, oh, this is a dream, but now I'm awake, but I'm still dreaming and don't, you know, don't realize it. What's all, what's that all about? Lucid dreaming. What is it?

Well, I mean, I think I just described it, didn't I? Why do you think Ray Romano and Pete Holmes are able to do this? You can train yourself to do it. And then, like, I just remember them talking about it. You think they got their own little world going on in there where they go back? You're just in control by me. Yeah, you go in there and it's like, I mean, you can fly. You can do, you could, you live, you can do whatever you want. You got friends in there.

I don't know if it's like reoccurring, but it'll be, yeah, I don't know, I guess all of it. But I mean, it's so much that you have to, you can have trouble of, I think, telling if you're in a dream or in real life. Like you could have moments where you go, is this a dream or is this happening? Like you could be just, it's like you're looking at us and doing this right now. And then you'd have to like, you'd have to have something to go,

You know, like you're like, well, if I had to drop this pin and it didn't hit the table, then I don't know. Yeah, it goes up to the ceiling. You're like, all right, well, I'm going to lose a drink. So now I could kill us. Yeah. Or something. Yeah. Yeah, be wild to get that mixed up. That's for sure. That's why you drop a pin before you pull the gun out. There you go. There you go. It's like him when he finds out a person is alive. He goes. Right, right. Yeah.

And I read where Einstein would – no, not Einstein. Freud? No. I was about to mention something about Freud. Thomas Jefferson. Bob Seger. Thomas Edison. Okay. All right. That's pretty good. Would come up with a lot of his great inventions while he was dreaming. But he could often not remember them. So he would hold an object in his hand and sit up in his chair to sleep.

And then when he was falling into REM sleep, he would drop the object, which would make him wake up. And then he would write down what he'd been dreaming. That was his way of memory. The dreams. Well, he thought of a light bulb in a dream. You think about light bulb, but just help. It helped advance some of his inventions. I mean, have you ever had a joke in a dream that worked?

Uh, I've had a, I can't think of one that worked. I've had a joke in a dream where I've had that a lot where you go, gosh, I got to remember this. Yeah, I have. It's going to be awesome. And then sometimes you, if you do remember, you're like, is this doesn't even make sense. Yeah. Yeah.

Even when you first wake up. That was Seinfeld. Sometimes when you first wake up, you still think it's great. But then as you really wake up, look at it later, then you're like, no, this makes no sense. Thomas Edison invented... I thought he only invented the light bulb, but he did a lot of good stuff. A phonograph I knew. Like a record player. Tons of stuff, right? Motion picture. That's a...

That's actually... They should mention that. Yeah, I didn't mention... A lot more. It's better, really, than a light bulb. Yeah. I mean, you got to get the light bulb first, I guess, because you need... Yeah, yeah. But I mean, it's pretty crazy that he's like, yeah, then I made...

He filed his first patent for the electrographic vote recorder. He vended voting machines. Then it all got figured out. You want him with him. I guess everybody was like, we're letting him do everything. You're like, nobody else was trying? Sounds like he was probably just stealing a lot of ideas from people. I think people do claim that about him. He invented the first electric copy machine to create copies of notes. It's an electric pen.

Oh, my gosh. I haven't heard about any of this stuff. Sounds like people would go over to his house and go, hey, I invented this thing. And he goes, oh, that's cool. And then he would patent it.

But, you know, that's a, yeah, but it's like, it's a slippery slope with that. Cause it is like, if you know, he's it's people coming with ideas. And if you know, he's the inventor and saying stuff, it's, you know, it's like people probably go into him and saying all this stuff. And then he actually does it. That person doesn't do it. So then they go, well, he stole that from you. Like,

You know, there's a mix of like, you're like, all right, dude, well, are you out of your mind? Yeah, that is true. It's like, yeah. You would have been at Facebook. Yeah, you wrote the blueprint. That's what he says on social network. It's like when they sued him. Yeah. Well, it's like, yeah, you write the blueprints for the light bulb, but then you're like, that person's lazy. And it's like, well, let me go ahead and make the light bulb. This could be big for us. Yeah. And then that guy goes, you stole the light bulb idea from me. And it's like, yeah, but you were-

What were you doing? You were still lighting candles. I mean, get on. He has a patent for something called the Weber meter. What is that all about? Wow. We need to find out. Yeah. The Weber meter.

I mean, wow. Look at that. He has over a thousand patents more than anybody else. What if you've read this and found out you, your whole family was robots? Yeah. Are you telling Thomas Edison? Yeah. I love it. Yeah. I'd love it. Be the honor of a lifetime. Paul McCartney said he wrote the song yesterday from a dream. Yeah. I believe that. I think they were doing a lot of songs ever.

I think it's one of the most covered songs. Oh, I thought you were saying he did it. Like he stole it. Cover song. There's a lot of like acid induced stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

About a dream. Yeah. Inception's the obvious one. Yep. Delirious with John Candy. I didn't think of that one. Yeah. I never heard of that. Yeah. That's where he's like, he gets, I think he's like knocked out or something. And he's like in his dream, he's a soap opera writer. Yeah. And so in his dream, he keeps writing the soap opera, but he's like, he's writing himself into it. So he can write these scenes and he's like making himself real cool, but he always forgets to write the end. Yeah.

So he like one time he like rides in on a horse and rescues this girl, but then forgets to write the end. So as he's riding off on the horse, he really can't ride it. It's very funny. I'm not describing it well. I don't know if I followed it. I never even heard of it. Yeah. What's the dream scenario? That's the new one with Nicolas Cage. I don't even know. Never heard of that.

I think it's a dream scenario. Yeah. You haven't heard of it. I recognize the, uh, it's a man. Um, everybody, I mean, this is the, yeah, the whole, I haven't watched it. Family man finds his life turned upside down when millions of strangers suddenly start seeing him in their dreams. However, when his nighttime appearances take a nightmare's turn, he's forced to navigate the consequences of his newfound stardom. I'm pretty into the premise of that. Yeah. 91% of rotten tomatoes.

I mean, Nick Cage isn't a movie machine. Might watch that tonight. Yeah. How many movies this guy? He's been pretty prolific lately. I mean, he's in a ton of stuff. That pig movie everybody said was good. I never saw it, but yeah, man. Other dream movies. There's one obvious one franchise that what dreams may come with Robin Williams, a franchise about dreams. No, I don't know. Harry Potter.

nightmare on elm street oh yeah yeah there's some dream stuff in harry potter too yeah wizard of oz a wizard of oz is that all a dream yeah or she was unconscious i guess she hit her head and then she all that stuff happened then she woke up at the end imagine that seeing that for the first time back then blow your mind i mean yeah do you guys dream in color or black and white

I think color. I don't know. Yeah. Because I think it's split by your age. No. Are you serious? Do you dream in black and white? I don't know what I dream in, to be honest with you. Yeah, I don't. I don't really see a lot of color, so maybe I don't. I like that he said it's split by age and you went right for him. Oh, yeah. I didn't even know that that was an option to dream in black and white. Yeah. Yeah, do you dream in echolocation? I mean, that's crazy, dude.

Black and white. The percentage of people who dream in color decrease with age. 80% of people under 30 experience color in their dreams. Only 20% of people over 60 do. They think a lot of it with the television. If you had a black and white TV or a color TV. Wow. It made me think of that when you mentioned Wizard of Oz. I don't think I've ever thought about it. Wow.

I want you to start keeping a dream journal. You know, they say if you fall in your dream and land, you'll die. Have you ever heard that? No. You ever heard that? No. Like if you fall off a cliff or something. Yeah. In your dream. I used to have height dreams where I would be up too high. What does that mean? Well, I was going to joke and say that's true. It's obviously not true, but is it obviously not true?

I don't even know how you would prove it. Yeah. Someone dies in their sleep, I guess you could say they had a dream about falling. Yeah. Oh, like maybe they, but maybe if someone dies in their sleep, they're having a dream that they fall. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe someone, they say he died peacefully in his sleep. Really, he fell off a cliff. You're like, it was a nightmare. His mouth was open. Yeah. Oh,

He's got a smile on his face and you're like, dude, he is going through it. What are the death dreams? Like, isn't there a bunch of death dreams? Like if you have, I thought it was like, uh,

falling being chased punching punching what about losing your teeth teeth falling out that's a very common one is it really yes it might mean that you're worried about your appearance or interactiveness or you're embarrassed about something that's happened recently for teeth i think i've had a dream where my teeth fell out do you got these with all do you got those with any other ones uh any other explanations for like what is falling me what about why can't you punch in a dream

Getting punched in a dream? Why can't you punch in a dream? You ever in a dream where you're in a fight? I beat people up. Have you? I lit people up. I can't. No. I never can seem to punch. I can't punch and I run just like I run in real life. The gravity is really heavy. I don't think I have dreams this intense. Well, that I can remember them. Yeah. Like we're like this. I would never think, I don't know if I can not punch in a dream.

It just feels like you're not real. It's just like something. Like you may be our dream. I know, but if you remember them like this. Do you remember why you were trying to punch in the dream?

No, I mean, you're fighting or... Somebody's trying to get you. Yeah. Oh, man. I can't remember. To even think about it. Like, oh, you can't punch. Yeah, I don't... But do you remember thinking in the dream, I can't punch and I don't know why I can't punch? Yeah, I have too. But you never connected, oh, I'm dreaming, that's why I can't punch? Or you just go, man, I'm a loser. I can't punch. I don't even think that I think I'm a loser. I'm just like, I can't. What is wrong? Yeah. It's like you're in water. Yeah. Like a...

sometimes like an animal or something and you're just trying to knock them away but you can't which also could be real life that's why I can't tell if I'm dreaming or not that little dog it feels like you're always punching in water yeah being naked is that one that you've ever had no I've never had that but that's a common one I think I've had something like that but never not like I showed up to school naked or whatever being naked naked naked naked it's crazy

It may indicate that you feel like a phony or you're trying to hide something. Oh. So this is like when you're asleep, your brain can distill down whatever you're most concerned about and will express it in the dream. Is that that's the thinking? Mm hmm.

Is it an attempt to get you to solve it or is it just your brain's way of trying to process how you're feeling? I feel like it's an attempt to... It's kind of like going, this is what's on your mind. Yeah, but why didn't it let us remember it a little better? You know what I mean? It doesn't make it easy. Because the remembering maybe doesn't matter. It's the... I think if you had enough of a recurrent dream where you're like, well, I can't remember every detail. So if you had the pesticide and I have the panic of...

you know, like me not making a show on time or something where it's me, whatever. It's like, maybe you got like, you got a lot of unsolved stuff that you need to,

What if we're all living in some kind of simulation, for instance, and these dreams that I have about selling pesticides, that's me still in this parallel universe. I'm still selling pesticides. Wow. And it's that I'm trying to, that side's trying to connect with me to be like, I'm still here. And I'm still in a microwave. Yeah. With my family. Yeah.

Just riding around. Look, kids, Big Ben. Parliament.

Well, that's kind of like Inception. There were people that would purposely dream all day, and there's like, who's to say what's reality and what's not? Yeah. There's a line from Harry Potter. Of course it's happening in your head, but who's to say that doesn't mean it's real? It's not real. Yeah. It's a quote from Dumbledore. Yeah. I mean, like just this whole idea that there are these non-playable characters out here, and we're walking around. NPCs. Yeah. They're just all part of the simulation. They're not real people. We just...

We see them and they're, you know. Do you think dreams could ever be premonitions? Like predicting the future? Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

There was a... I don't think always, but I think they can. There was a mining disaster, I guess, in England. This is in the 60s. A lot of people died, and a lot of people said they'd had dreams about it beforehand. So this guy formed, this psychiatrist formed the British Premonition Bureau, where people could come and share any dreams like that that they had to see if it could lead to... I mean...

It's like, I definitely think that I definitely could think that could happen. And, uh,

But yeah, you would have just whacked. I bet that Bureau got some crazy stories. Yeah, it would just be overwhelming to, I bet you then go like, it's just not even worth now. That's probably some of these, if you were to do a UFO agent, it would be overrun with that kind of nonsense too. A lot of people think people who are abducted by UFOs, who say they were just having a vivid dream.

because they say they couldn't move. Or being visited by demons. Well, maybe, but they couldn't move their body. They say they couldn't move their body and it was over them doing stuff. It's because they're dreaming and that's why they can't move. Do you have anything about, or did you look into a... What?

The way you just kind of leaned back and the way you said that was almost like you're like... Well, I think you want some real answers. Let's move on. You sound like you're like, you need to talk about your toe turns black. Because that's what you think it's about to be. And he's like, yeah, yeah, that means you die tomorrow. So that's what I looked up. And he goes, oh, okay, okay. Well, to wrap up the Premonition Bureau, it lasted for a year and a half. They had about a thousand reports.

None of them seem to foretell the future accurately, and it prevented no disasters. And then they closed shop. Have you ever had somebody get a premonition on a flight and have to leave? Apparently that's common. I've never seen it. Have you seen it? No, I've never seen it, but I've heard stories about it. I've had stuff like that, but I don't...

you know, it's like where you think about something, but then I'll like, I'll just overly be like, be, you're like, well, I'm just thinking this. Cause that's like, I don't, uh, I've, I've believed follow, you know, it's like your gut, like, it's like what your gut tells you. And you just do that. And you know, like when you're like, this is my brain being crazy and,

But if you were walking onto a flight and you suddenly got a thought, this plane's going down. I need to get off this plane. I think you would. I think I'd have that thought. You had a joke about that. But I would convince myself. What was the joke? You ever looked at people in a plane like, this is like a plane. This is a plane that would go down. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But I, you know, I don't know if it's, you just have trust in, I have trust that I'll really know when that really needs to happen. Yeah. And I'll, and you trust that,

you know, God's not going to put me in that situation. Or if he does, there's a reason, you know, whatever it is, but there's, there's a, you have to really be like, you know, you die. And then God's like, dude, I gave you a strong premonition. Like you, he goes, he goes, I mean, what are you talking about? He goes, there's a guy with a hammer banging on the window. And I go, I don't know. I thought,

I was like, I thought that's crazy. But he goes, how are you out of your mind? You made him take off. He did speak through people and dreams in the Bible. Yeah. Yeah. I always think that you have to kind of trust that, you know, I do it with every career decision, everything that you have to go. You know, a lot of it's not out of your – it's all out of my hands. You know, well, I believe. Do whatever you think. It's all out of my hands. I'm just –

Kind of really in tune with going, I think this is where I need to be. This is what I need to be doing. I'll know when to, you know. That's why I always thought when your career, like you go, you know, I'll know when's enough is enough. And people always tell me, they go, no, no, you don't. People don't. You do. I know I will. I really know I will. I'll know when I go, that's enough. That's enough of this. Doesn't mean it's enough of maybe I move on to like, you know.

I can say I don't think I'm going to be doing specials for...

A ton more specials at the level I'm doing it. I kind of have an idea of when I will be done with staying with the, not saying I won't do small things or, you know, I think I love standup. So I'll do it in as a very joyful way. I love to do it. But like the insanity of what I'm doing now, I can see, I know, I know weirdly enough, dude, every like, yeah, I don't know. I don't tell me. There's a lot of stuff I've had happen where, uh,

It's, you know, it's, it's, it's nothing's, uh, nothing's a surprise. Yeah. Nothing's surprising. It's, I don't think some of it is I, it's so far that I don't see how I can get there, but I have to trust that, that dream, that, that thing in my head is like, I mean, I've even started getting scared of the thoughts now. Cause some of it, I'm like, I don't know if I want to do that. And then you just be, you just feel like,

I feel like you're going to have to do it. And you're like, I don't, you know, and it's like, I'm nervous about what I, what pops in my head. Cause I'm, we'll just give us one.

No? I'm just kidding. Just go ahead. Yeah. And we'll decide. No, yeah. Well, no, but they are. They're the ones that I'd be embarrassed to say. And that's where a lot of this stuff comes from. But I'd be embarrassed to tell you that I was going to sell out Bridgestone Arena. Right. I would have never told you that. And I never told anybody that. And then I did it. And so then once you do it, you're like, well, now I'm super scared of, you know, some of them you're like, you're like, I don't know if I'm, you know.

I take someone down in this room. I get that a lot. With my hand. With my hands. No. But it's career stuff. But I've always thought, I've always said, I'll know when enough is enough. I will know. I have to, I believe...

that he will let me know. And I will know when I can step aside and go, all right, this, and maybe this part's done. Maybe the standup part is done. And I go with this. I did it. I did it as big as I wanted to do it. So now it's more of a, you know, I just do it when I've come up with jokes and I'll go, you know, whatever it is, it won't be on the scale that it was. Yeah. And maybe I'm doing movies and maybe I start making movies and I make, there's a, there's an overall, you know, I have a very thought out,

for everything. Even if one day I have to stop doing this podcast, it's not, I'm making, I have a lot of stuff that I'm trying to do to change a lot of things. And it's, you know, uh, you're breaking a lot of hearts of the listeners of this podcast with this last part. I think what you're doing, uh,

No, no, I'm not trying to say. I don't know. I can see with this podcast. I've read a lot of comments when it comes to the podcast. They think I'm going to do it. Yeah. No, no, I think I'm on. Yeah, I think we have a contract. I might have a contract for another year and a half, two years even maybe. I don't know for sure. You're stuck. Yeah. But I get busy. We don't have a contract, though. I'll say that. No. We're disposable. Yeah.

Yeah, I like doing this. I think I'll be home. I won't be on the road as much. So I won't, it will be fun to be on this. I don't, I don't see this. I don't honestly not,

see this podcast go away as much as I don't know how much I can be here at some point. But I mean, this is pretty far off. I'm not saying right now, but I can see this being this, you know, it's like we're trying to create a world and I want stuff to be

I want to create entertainment for you that you can go and watch like my, you know, like when you go watch my standup and you can come and not feel heavy and not feel like, well, I want to do it in other ways other than just my standup. Yeah. So that's what I'm saying. Right. So I'm not saying I, you know, I don't know. I don't know if I ever see this podcast going away, but it's, you know, maybe what, if I'm here or not here, like, I don't know, you know, maybe you can't be, maybe like, you know, I think we're,

I like what it is. Yeah. I think Bates wide open. Me too. That was very funny. Yeah. Yeah. You go, but you know, you know who will be. Yeah. My calendar's wide open. Yeah. Keep it rolling. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I'm not trying to don't read. Nobody read into this.

It's, I don't know, but it's, there's no, I'm not, I just, you know, I always think just, it's like, you know, I have to trust. So just trust to be like, I'm not, trust me. I don't want to do anything that, you know, I, you know, I always go back. That's the thing when I talk about God went back Saturday night live, go, my parents were worried. Did I, I didn't do anything to,

make them upset. You know? And it's like, I always think with this, just trust me. I'm not going to, I think about everybody. I think about, you know, the people that come to the shows. I think about all of them.

I want them to be, I'm trying to make, you know, doing the best I can. Not that I can do stuff that approves every single person, but just, you know, it's like, I got to trust that, you know, whatever. We're having a good time. We're having a good time. Yeah. I don't know why that went into that, but. Because you have dreams. I like it. Yeah, because I have dreams. Yeah. That was that, yeah, that was the end of that dream. Yeah.

We can wrap it up. Yeah, I mean, we start to realize that you're some sort of seer of things now. Now, you kind of revealed that right at the end that you're like a- Suicide? Yeah, you have a real- And I don't want to sound like I'm a seeker. I'm nobody, dude. But I just feel like there's a direction something's going. So I'm just-

But I always knew, I always think, I thought from a long time ago, I'll know when enough is enough. I'll know when I go, that's enough. I'm good. Like I did that. And some people don't know that. They don't know when enough is enough. Because they don't have anything. Nothing's built on something.

That they can stand on. The rest of us know, but they don't. Yeah, yeah. It's like if you have a flimsy house built, you're going to keep adding stuff onto it because it's not what you want. But if you build it and it's sturdy and it's there, then you go, everything is here. It doesn't mean nothing changes on the inside or blah, blah, whatever. But the general foundation of everything that you have is like this ground is fine. Built on the rocks. Maybe that's it. Yeah. Not on the sand.

Yeah. Yeah. There you go. So you do that. And so then you can stand there and you can go, that's what helped me to go to Saturday Night Live and be like, I don't feel as uncomfortable where if I was younger,

I would have been like, they'd be like, well, just say this. And I would have been embarrassed to say, like, I don't want to say H-E-L-L. Like, I mean, you know what I mean? Like, it's like that's saying that's crazy. I'm not even saying it now, but that's that's insane. I'm 45 years old. Double hockey sticks. 45 years old. And I don't want to, you know, it's like, but I had to go. I don't want to do that. And, you know, and I just make fun of myself and.

Go, I'm an idiot. I don't know. You know, I just say whatever to, you know, because it's uncomfortable. It's not fun to say that.
