That looks awesome. It looks awesome, man. It looks like a real thing. It is a real thing. I know, but until you see something like this, you're like, oh, man. I know. You always worry until it's... But we shot it. It's announced. It's next Friday.

You look good. Thank you. Did Eric do you upright or no? Oh, Eric got me upright. Christy Johnson got me those clothes. I mean, I never looked better. Never, yeah.

She hooks it up. You know, that's the shirt. She gave me the shirt I wore on the tonight show. Yeah. Christy Johnson hooks it up. The whole thing, man. Signature. It really does look great. It looks great. Like the, yeah, the, the, the cursive of the name of the special. The two different fonts of the A. It looks good. The watch. You can see the watch is expensive, but yet you can't quite tell what it is. Yeah. Just underneath. The A and the R have smashed that other A. That's a $30 Casio watch, but yeah. The people don't know. They don't know. Cause he hides it. Yeah. Uh,

I just appreciate you believing what we're doing here with Nateland. Yeah. Nate and Dusty, they take their specials to Netflix, but you said, no, I believe in what we're doing here at Nateland. That's what we like. I turn Netflix down. Yeah. That's what we like. Thank you, Aaron. Yeah. Of course. We're building Aaron. It's big. We got the exclusive on Aaron. And you basically got to come through me.

I will murder Aaron if he goes to anybody else. Basically, that's how it goes with Aaron. I will be furious if he... So you come through us. Hey, we'll go to Netflix. We're going to go to all that stuff. But you're going to come through us, through the Nate land. I'm happy to. We want Aaron to do whatever he wants to do. But it will be... We will put a pretty big stop to it if I'm not...

I'm just laying claim on air. I'll be pretty upset. YouTube's a hot spot, though. It is a hot spot. It's great. It is a hot spot. YouTube is... We can do this with Nate Land where we are going to build this up into this stuff being on the way the old system was where we did...

you know, we have the showcase. We got, uh, Aaron, uh, special. And then, uh, and then we're going to have, we have, you know, Vecchione's and we have all that kind of stuff. And then, so we're going to continue, uh, to be in that world, uh, you know? And so, yeah, it's, I'm, it's awesome. It's exciting, dude. Yeah. It looks great. Yeah. January 31st. You already got a new hour.

I'm working on it, man. I'm trying, dude. You got sweet. 11 days. It's a half hour special. That's good. That helps a lot. So you have a half. Yeah, I got a half. Do you have 30 new? Oh, yeah, yeah. Since I record. Yeah, I do. So you're good. So they'll be able to come and see a show with none of these jokes on it. Mm-hmm. But you might. They could. Yeah. They could. You might throw in a great shit. I mean, I'll feel it out. Have y'all seen the special? Yeah, exactly. And then they go, no. And then I go, all right. Yeah, yeah. Thank God. Yeah, yeah.

All right. Well, then tonight y'all can watch a full hour of my comedy. You're about to see it. Yeah. You're about to see it. And then no need to watch the special after. No, please don't. That's very, very fun. It's exciting. I love that it's all coming together. It's all coming together. We, I don't know. This week I was talking about

Are we talking about this? Yeah, we can. You got the hat on. I got the DCA hat on. Yeah. My high school gym...

The court has got my name on it, and the gym will be named after us. They're building a new facility. I loved my high school, Donaldson Christian Academy. It's a very blue-collar kind of private school, and it's just good people, and I've always been around those people. I did get cut every year from their basketball team. Yeah.

I'll be honest with you, but they can't cut me now. I like that. I like that. That's the ultimate, I'm on the team. Yeah, yeah. I got a jersey. I finally got a jersey. It's really a story about revenge when you think about it. Well, I don't like to think of it as a revenge story. It's not came off. It does come off. No, it doesn't. It's your Michael Jordan story. You know, I was cut from this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I want to tell all the kids. Yeah. You're not going to get everything you want.

But you can't eventually... Oh, it's on the court like that. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, dude. That's what I'm talking about. You really took over that court. Yeah.

What'd you think it was? Like a newspaper article? I don't know. I mean, not a plaque. I mean, that's what I'm talking about. I would like to say I do let things go. I know this doesn't look like that, but it, I... Oh, it's everywhere. The building's going to be called Barkins.

Nate Land's going to be in there. Yeah. The new facility we have, Nate Land will be on the field. We will, yeah, Nate Land is, we're a part of it. We're going to really, DCA, look, I love DCA. And I'm still close to most of my, almost, I mean, I'm still close to all the friends there. And a lot of them came, which was very nice for that night. You know, I knew we were doing something and,

We had a little gathering afterwards, and Derek Mason came. Yeah, that's awesome. That was so nice, man. Because when he first came to Vanderbilt, to Coach Vanderbilt, I got to know him then, and that was kind of like I was kind of starting to do stuff, but he was just always very nice to me. And I did some shows for him and his team. And so that was actually very, very – that was – Jody Jones is my dentist also. I've known his family forever. We grew up with his family. But –

It was, it was, that was like a very nice, it was a, it meant more to me than I probably would have realized. Oh yeah. Just cause it's like for the fact that he came out was very, very nice. And he's at MTSU now. And so, yeah, it was very cool to get to be a part of that. And yeah. That's awesome, man. What a cool full circle moment. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, it really was. And they were nice. The kids, I mean, they were chanting. Like, it was really cool. Yeah, they were chanting, Nate, Nate. And I kind of saw you're like off the distance. I'm telling them I'm going, come on, come on. A little louder, a little louder. I walked in first and they booed. And I go, this is the opposite energy we need, guys. I need you to chant Nate, Nate.

Then they passed you a ball. You took a shot. Yeah. They still won't let me play there. That's why he was cut. That's why he was cut. The funniest part of that, you getting cut, is that your dad was the coach. Yeah. My freshman year, he was the assistant coach.

He wasn't a head coach, but he was the assistant coach. He got the ball started. He was the head coach and the assistant coach. Then they got a new head coach for the last three years, and I just never really stood a chance. When I look back, I can see you've got to be obsessed. I don't think I was obsessed, even though I love basketball. It's like you're just being goofy.

And, you know, you should name the toilets after the former coach cut you every year. Oh, yeah. Pay to do that. Be real spiteful. Yeah. Yeah. To really go. He cut me in golf, too. I was cut in every sport. I ran track my senior year. That was the only thing that they allowed me to do.

I did play basketball at Tulip Grove Baptist Church, though. On carpet. On carpet. We did pretty good. Ours was actually, it was hardwood, but I played carpet when I practiced on. I played carpet basketball at a church one time. Yeah, yeah. It's nice. My dad actually told me not to try out for basketball. Really? That makes you feel better. Why?

I said, don't worry about it. Do you want me to put your name? You want your name on there too, bud? Yeah, same reason as soccer. You tell me where you want your name and I'll go. All right. I like that. Yeah. Tell me the name of your high school and Nate will buy it real quick. Yeah, he'll buy it. What did Dutchie say? Shove it to your dad. Yeah. This wasn't even about my high school though. My dad was just like, you ain't going to get it. In general. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

That's good, though. You've got to manage your kids' expectations. I mean, he was right about it. Yeah. He also told you not to read. So he's got to figure it out. Yeah. Most resolutions are hard to maintain, but AG1 is one of the easiest things you can do for your health. That is true. You can make this the one habit you will actually stick with. I've already given up on most of my New Year's resolutions, but I'm still doing AG1. My goal for the New Year is to take better care of myself and do it

And do that, I just keep using my AG1. I've been drinking it daily for over a year now. AG1 is what helps you be ready to take on what 2025 has in store for you. That's why we're sponsored by AG1. I can feel the difference. It supports my energy, digestive regularity, immune support, and even a healthy mood. It's so easy with just one scoop in the morning. You can put it in a smoothie or even just some water and drink that. I love the taste of it and

If I miss one, I just fill off. And you guys know. I hate to see your mood if you didn't take AG1. Yeah, that's why. This is the good mood, Brian. Well, you're right, Aaron. That's why I travel with travel packs with me wherever I'm on the road. So this year, try AG1 for yourself. It's the perfect time to start a new healthy habit. That's why.

That's drinkag1.com slash nate to start your new year on a healthier note.

So another one that we talked about this weekend. So Eric, everybody knows my barber trainer. I was like, all right, I'm getting – this is the year, right? Every year is the year that I'm going to get in shape. This is the year. If I start making movies, if I start getting into this thing, I got to look the part. I got to – and I've realized if I want to be –

Nate Land to be as big as it is, I need to be able to get as big as I can be to then be able to do this kind of stuff. This is what my belief, I have to like have control over this food. I can't do this stuff. And so we did a body scan. I'm going to tell you my body fat percentage. I don't want to. I almost be, it's embarrassing. But it's so, I was talking to Eric about it. And like, if you heard that 75 Hard podcast,

Yes, I have. So 75 hard is 75 straight days. You do, you got to work out twice a day, 45 minutes outside, 45 minutes inside. Uh, and one has to be outside. You got to read 10 pages of book. You got to do a diet plan that you have. And, uh, water too. And that part of it. Yeah. You guys drink a gallon of water a day. So, uh,

I've looked at it and said, if 75 is hard, it's going to be hard for me to always work out two times a day because of my schedule. But I want to do a version of this. So I was making a bet with Eric. And so my body percentage fat was 36%. That's what I would have guessed. Would you? If you look at it, so we put on the mail. That sounds, if you look at these, 40 is bananas. Like 35 to 40. 40 looks good.

He's got some stuff going on. 40 is like, look, you're telling me I'm worse than 35? I mean, like I'm a percentage above 35? Dude, a lot happens in that 35 to 40. 35 to 40, dude, is nuts. I mean, you're 40%. I mean, I think you look at, like it's Craig, look at the other one.

There's another one that even looks worse. Look at 40. How come 30 looks worse than 35? How come? Yeah, that doesn't make sense. That doesn't make sense. If you're, by this thing, you're like, well, I prefer to be 35 at least so I can be normal. And you look like a wreck. If you put a shirt on a guy, that 30% is what I feel like I look like. Yeah.

Look underneath the chest of that 35, though. It looks like he just straightened up. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah, dude. He's been sitting down for hours. Yeah, yeah. He stood taller. Again, 40. This 40 looks better than the other 40. Yes. The other 40 looks... The other 40, that's like...

where you go, you can just weigh whatever you want to weigh and we're just going to put you in this thing. Are you trying to get down to here, Nate? This 3% to 4% looks terrifying. So I said, I bet him in two months I can get down to 3% to 4%. No, I'm joking. Yeah.

I'm going to be. I'm going to have 24 injections a day. No. So the bet was with him, if I'm at 36, if I can get to 20%. Yeah. So 20%.

Because we're going to do weight, but weight could be if I started working out and if I started really, you know, I'm not trying to be jacked. Like, I'm just trying to, it's like, I need to look and feel good and be a confident person. I've lived like this long enough. I'm exhausted of living like this. So if I can get to 20%, the bet was that Eric has to eat 36 donuts in 24 hours.

So... Ruined his life. Yeah. The idea, Eric is probably 15... He's in probably 14% is what his buddy Fed is. So if we can get Eric up to 35%, it's the opposite. It's a bet that's the opposite. It might take more than a day to do that, but that's a good start. Well, it was... At first, we told him, we're like, you got to... If I can lose...

If I can get down to this, you got to eat 50 donuts in a week is what he told him. And it really made – Eric did not want to do this. Just the idea of that would make him upset. Yeah. 50 in a week is – it's like, yeah, seven a day? Yeah. It's a pretty good week. I think 36 we said in a week, so it was five a day. He has to eat five a day. What kind of donut? Like a Krispy Kreme? Yeah. And so he does not want to do this at all.

And that's kind of what makes it fun. Yeah. Because it was like, if we're going to bet money, it's like, I mean, that's not as fun. I like betting something that I'm going to get to laugh at him feeling sick from eating all of these donuts. From living how you've been living. From living how I've been living. It's really actually kind of mean. What if it really wrecks his whole thing? And now from then on, he's five dollars away. He's the opposite. I become his trainer. The student becomes the teacher. Yeah. And then roles flip. Yeah.

So that's the ultimate goal. You're cutting his hair. I'm cutting his hair. Eric's going on stage. He's in on stage. And I have taken over Eric's existence, and now Eric is me. So I would say if you want, but we could throw in, if y'all want to be involved in this at all. I think 25 looks really good. 25 looks good. He's a strong guy. He's a strong man right there. 30 looks like a good, nice guy. Yeah.

Yeah, 30 is like he takes his shirt off at the pool for sure. 100%. But it's like he just got fat. 30% just got fat. Right. He used to be pretty awesome, and now he's probably 30. Former athlete. Yeah, yeah. Now he's like that. 40%, this has been his whole life. I mean, this is what he does. He's never not worn a belt. Also takes his shirt off at the pool, though. He doesn't care. He's had a belt his whole life. Yeah.

The new trend of not wearing belts, he's not even having a conversation. You can't even, he's like, are you out of your mind? He goes, we got to have a belt. And then maybe he's done suspenders before.

He will be. Something's going to be holding that up. Shoulder problems from the suspender. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's got a belt all day long. I mean, because you look up there to the 10%, I mean, you don't need a belt. No. 30%, you know, I wear, always have a belt. I don't like no belt. I like, you know. But so basically, I got to get down to 20%. By when? It's...

No time set. I mean, yeah, we were saying maybe six months. Maybe six months, so I got to go pretty hard. There has to be some version. So what I was going to say, if you take the donuts up to 50 donuts, y'all are allowed to take donuts off Eric's plate. So you can... You want me involved in this? You can come take donuts off. Okay. Ideally, I would say we do... He could wipe out Eric's debt in one fell swoop. Yeah. Yeah.

You go 100. Ideally, you say we go 100 donuts. Okay. But we're allowed to, anybody else can come take donuts off Eric's plate. Okay. And we can extend it to the Nate Land world. The Nate Land. I mean, I'm not saying like anybody, like, I don't know when we're going to do this or what we're going to do.

Yeah, but you can go to Abigail. Our buddy Michael is here. Adrian, Felix, all the Nate Land team, all the comics on the Nate Land, everybody can come help Eric out to get rid of these 100 donut problems. Yeah, I love that. That's fun, right? Yeah, it's very fun. Because Eric can't. He's going to die.

He was like, it adds, he goes, it's my life expectancy. He started bringing that up. Life expectancy. You're not fun. And then, because of Julian McColl, we were all last, yesterday, I was shooting something that's going to be very pretty cool. I can't talk about it yet, but it will be soon. You're going to see it. But it was, in between, this is all we talked about.

And, you know, he's like, let's just do it. Eric's like, let's do it some other way. And we were like, Eric, but it's how sad you are that you have to eat these donuts is what fuels me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To go that you're that. He's like, I can't do this. See, this bet wouldn't be fun with me. Exactly. What am I going to do? Like, hey, add four to your day? It's like, that's.

That's not... Take 10 off. That's getting nowhere. Yeah. You got to subtract. Yeah. I was like, I mean, we're all like five donuts a day. You're like, yeah, dude, this is nothing for me. This is what I do. Yeah, but what's the challenge? What's the challenge? What's the catch? So the fun part... You're buying these donuts for me? Yeah, the fun part is to make Eric...

And Eric was like, he goes, people are going to be mad at you because you're trying to make someone to eat. And I was like, I don't think they will, Eric. No, no, no. I go, the fun part is making you eat. Now, I think the other fun part will be Eric has to convince you guys. I mean, look, y'all could all go 25 each.

With Eric. And you're at 100 Donuts and you'd be done. But can I like reach out and say, hey, Eric, I ate three today on your behalf. When we do it, I'll film it. I think I have 100 Donuts here. I think we got to do it. We got to do it here. It's got to be in the day. And so it's got to, Eric's got to reach out to everybody. And everybody's got to come help Eric out. Because Eric's going to be. What if you don't win? So that, I don't know. Yeah. That's the only thing. I don't know what happens if I don't win.

Because, you know, it's do I have to eat 100 donuts? It's a win-win. Yeah. If I don't win, I mean, I'm eating donuts. Yeah, yeah. I haven't got out of it.

if I don't win Nate land will crumble. So that's the, that's the other side of it. Maybe there should be a certain place that you get to, to where it's like, all right, he's not punished, but you're not like, it was like you made enough progress to where he doesn't have to do a punishment. But I would say, say six months for every, if I'm at 36% body fat and I got to be at 20% in six months, is that possible?

Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah. So I want to go to the one person that's in shape but no answer to this. Is that possible? I go, yeah, just pointless to talk to anybody else. All right. So if I can get to 20% from 36%, whatever number I'm at, so if I'm at 36 now, and so say I end up in six months, I'm at 20%

24%, right? So that's 12. That means I've lost 12%. It's out of 100, it's like you take...

12, you just take the donuts off. I mean, you know, it's like, I don't know about it's so 36 and 20. So I got to lose 20. I got to lose 16% body fat. So could we, we could say it's each, what is 16? What is each one equal to be a hundred? So, you know, like 10 would be 160 donuts. If each one, if 1% equals 10 donuts, right.

That's not a good number. 6.25? 6.25. So we're saying each percentage equals... Six and a quarter donuts. Six and a quarter donuts. Yeah. Six, should we say just six? Are we going to be really doing the quarter stuff? Are you going to keep up with that? It's a donut hole. Yeah, you're going to keep up with the quarter stuff. I guess so. Yeah, well, you have to. You're a notary. You went to college. They weren't even doing fractions when Bates went. So...

I don't think they got to it yet, right? No. I don't know if cursive was even started. No, that's all we did. Oh, yeah. The quill. We're trying to get print. We're trying to get print. Me and Dusty did not go.

So we obviously only do big numbers. We don't understand. I wouldn't even know how to put that in the calculator. I wouldn't have even known what to do either. I still don't know what this means. So y'all, so then. Even this question you're trying to figure out, I'm like, I don't know. So six donut equals 1%. So whatever. So if I get to the 16%, that's 100 donuts. Yeah. I'll be, yeah, 96. Yeah. So if I get to 10%, that would be 60 donuts, right? Yeah, yeah. So we'll do it that way. Okay. Yeah.

And yeah, Eric was not thrilled about this. And I told him he will find out about it when he listens to the podcast. So this is Eric finding out about it. Yeah. Eric will get very sick. There's a little chance Eric is allergic to dairy. It's not a little chance. He is. But we looked up Krispy Kreme donuts do not have dairy in them.

That's what they said on the internet. But I imagine if you are dairy intolerant, a Krispy Kreme donut is still going to mess you up a little bit. Yeah. He might die. Probably no real food in a Krispy Kreme donut. But yeah, he could... Huh? There's probably no real food at all. That's real sugar. Look and see. Look up and see, is there dairy in a Krispy Kreme donut? We can get...

That's probably all. But I think we can get. Yes, most Krispy Kreme donuts contain dairy. They contain dairy products like milk, butter, yogurt. But does a glazed, say a glazed Krispy Kreme donut, does it have dairy in it? Dairy free? Yeah. I believe so. Are they, it's kosher.

They are kosher. That's good to know. Yeah. I think they all have dairy in them. Good to know there's no pork in there. Because it's all made from eggs. You can have one. It's all made from eggs, and then they have used milk and butter in it too. So I think it's going to be tough to...

Those seem pretty essential to the donut. The chance would kill Eric. Well, that's really on you guys. We've got to step it up a little more. That's not Eric's problem. That's y'all's problem. I think we can find enough people that will come take donuts off the plate. If we do find out that Eric will die from this, we will find him, you know,

I think it says a lot that he's taken this challenge, knowing it may kill him. I think he thinks you can't do it. Yeah, that's for sure. Look, a big part of it, he has not really agreed to this. Okay. So that's the other side. I mean, he definitely was not completely agreeing to it yesterday. But how nervous he was is what made it fun. You know, I mean, should we do – he can't eat meat either. He got bit by a tick.

And so I suggest go get bit by another tick, reverse it, do this challenge, bring another tick back, go back to your... You could probably do some kind of Lyme disease detox, I think. Yeah. What food could be the donuts? What food could be... Hot dogs? I don't know if he can eat hot dogs. Oh, you want meat-free and dairy-free? Hot dog would be so much worse. Yeah, I don't know if he can...

Yeah, hot dogs would be. I like a hot dog once in a while. I think you're going to have trouble finding people to take hot dogs off your plate. Yeah. Yeah. Donuts, I think you can. I think he could get through. Look, if he's a good enough talker, maybe he cannot eat any donuts.

Everybody helps him out. He's also the one training you, right? So you can just do a bad job at that. Yes. And he can also encourage you to eat the donuts. That is. That's the fun part of this. He can work that into training. If I'm able to do this, I will then let him go.

Because I will no longer need him. Yeah, exactly. No, I don't. I will never do that. He started adding it to the meal plan. He still cut your hair. Yeah. He's like, I found out this is a superfood. And then I go, but I don't even need to have my beard done in a special way because my face looks so good now, Eric. It's going to be so chiseled in. I go, I'm actually shaving on my own. Now, Eric will always...

Do we say we do donuts? I say we do, yeah. And if you have any other questions about the product, you can call 1-800-4-KRISPY and they'll answer all the questions. Look at how many calls they get.

1-800-4-CRISPY. I'm wondering if... A lot of crank calls, probably. Should we call him right now? Eric, if you're listening and worried, I'd say we've had numerous weight loss challenges we've announced on this podcast that we've never brought up again. This one's the real deal, dude. Yeah, this is the year. I'm coming in hard. This is the year. I look forward to this... I look forward to seeing who we can get to come take donuts off his... How many donuts do you think you take off his plate?

He'll be our anchor. Yeah. Dusty, would you take some? I'll do one because I like him. You would only want one. He doesn't even like him. That's right. Yeah. You know what? Sometimes I had a couple of donuts the other day and I feel like it wrecked my whole weekend. That's the point of this challenge. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I get sent me on the spiral. That's not good for Eric. Yeah, I know. Because Eric, he's got, Dusty's got one. I'll take it. I felt so good at the airport. Would you let your kids take some? I felt so good at the airport that I was like, you know what? I'm going to get a couple of these donuts. I'll let Harper. I'll let Harper and her friends come. They can take some off. How many people can we get? I'll get a dozen for him. Yeah. Yeah, that's nice. I'll put in some work. He's going to be fine. You've done eight. So you can do eight. Yeah. You're committed to eight. Sure. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that's good. So we're having enough people. So right now we're looking at it. Don't make it too easy on him. We got 12, 20, 21 donuts already taken off the plate. Yeah, that's easy. 21 donuts taken off the plate. He's already down to 79 donuts. Yeah.

It's almost not even a fun bed. I feel like Greg Warren would crush a bunch of donuts. Greg will. Yeah, we'll get Greg down here. Greg will, you know. He's a consumer. Yes, he is. Yeah. You know what we could do? If we get to this, maybe we'll have a fun, we'll do a show. Like a, and make everybody can, we'll just do a show at the lab and we all just do pop-in sets. Yeah.

If you want to do a set, you have to eat a donut. That's fun. Greg, we'll have everybody come down. We're doing a show so people can come to the show. We'll park Eric in the lab room.

thing and he'll have to eat these donuts and then you know what if people come to the show they can also help eric out too buy a ticket or eat five donuts yes yes yeah and eric has to talk you into yeah eating this donut yeah why you cut your hair it's like bring a canned food but instead it's it's the opposite of a canned food yeah it's the opposite of charity yeah it's there is no there is no charity yeah yeah

In fact, charities have to buy the donuts. Yeah. But if you come down, yeah, that would be good. If you come down and take some donuts, you have to take at least five donuts off Eric's plate, and that's a ticket. Or you can just buy the ticket.

Yeah. Yeah. Ticket costs $7,000. That's Eric. Change it because the ticket's $10,000. Or you could take five donuts. And they're like, well, there's no reason I would pay that. You have to eat the donuts on stage. That should be part of the show. No, no. If we're having it, we're having it all before. The show would just be a fun celebration. I got to know they're eating it, though. Well, I think we will. They'll be out in the lobby. No throwing it away.

No, they have to eat it. I got to see you eat it. I mean, we're, like, we can film it. We'll have a whole big fun. It'll be a nice celebration. The date, so what would be a good date? July? Is that, like, you think that's two? What's, like, you got to give me some, you know. Three months. Three months? Not three months. No. Four months? Four to six. Four to six. Four to six. Give me six months. Two.

You need a little wiggle room because I'm probably going to get a donut today. It's not fair that we just talked about this. The thing about six months, too, is it gives you time to start feeling really good and relapse. Yeah. So six months, what if I do, yeah, the date is, you know. Oh, the ingredients list is right there. So what is it, January? What is January something, 16 or something right now? January 20th. No reason why that many things should be in there.

February, March, April, May, June, July. Cellulose go. July, six months.

Harper's birthday, July 8th. What about by Harper's birthday, July 8th? Okay, that's perfect. Sorbitan Monostearate. And if I'm under 20%, we add 100 donuts for every percent I'm under 20. Tocafea rolls? Yeah. And if you don't do it, just take on different movie roles.

Yeah, if I don't do it, I'll be... Instead of a leading man, just be the fun neighbor. I won't be able to be a leading man. I love Robert. Yeah, I don't... I guess there has to be... Yeah, I don't know if there's something for me. My... I think my punishment is this won't happen.

And that would make me sad. Yeah, that's good. Because I think it will be... Because you want it to happen. I really want all of y'all have to eat all these donuts off Eric's plate. Used to control corrosion and scaled inhibition. And Eric's really having to be on the line. He does not... I promise you, he does not want to do this. Put a picture of Eric up on your mirror every day. Yeah. With a donut. Yeah, with a donut. He's not happy. So, all right. 100 donuts.

How many seats are here? 100 seats? It's about 100. 100 people? 95. All right. So, I mean, yeah, everybody's, I mean, we could, yeah. We could do this easily. We could get it where, and if we, look, if Eric can get it where he's not even having to eat any donuts. That's the goal for him. That's the goal for him, and that's fine. And if you advertise that it has disodium phosphate in it, you could tell him that also that ingredient is used for fireproofing materials. So, your stomach will be fireproof after. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. The FDA says it's generally recognized as safe. That's nice. That's good. So it's all good. Whatever they're doing, they're doing a great job. They're so good. I mean, you could do like burger. I mean, donuts, like McDonald's burgers or something, but that's not. Donuts are the best. Donuts are who we are as a podcast. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. We are donuts. We are. I do like a burger competition. That's how we started. Yeah. Yeah.

Burger's just getting too many ingredients and stuff. Just stick with the donut. We're not burger people, dude. Come on. Don't be ridiculous. What if we did like two- Hard-boiled eggs. If it was like- Cool hand look. If it was- Yeah, if we did it here and we did- You got an hour. And so now the crowd's got to be here. So whoever got the tickets and you got to do an hour-

You have to eat 100 in an hour as a group. Yeah, yeah. That's great. Now, you have to stand on stage with your shirt off so we can measure you. Yeah, to show you the 20%. Yeah. I went in that body scan. It's like they just scan your body and she's –

I'm going to write some jokes on it, so I don't want to give too much away. But I mean, it's like, yeah, it wasn't. I'm not even on the charts of fat. I'm not even on the bad shape chart. My number's not even... She's like, well, are you looking at the age? I go, it's not on any... If I was 100, I'm not in where I should be for what you think obese is. Because I'm not even... It doesn't matter my age.

It was, it's not, yeah, it's a pretty tough one to do. What do you go to do that? I forget what it was called. Dex's scan is the, what you're doing. And then I forget, it was like off Harding Road or something. Okay. But it was, I mean, it's kind of cool. Like you go through it. Yeah. And it just shows you, you know, everything you're, have good bones, have good bones. Right.

All that dairy. You got big. They go, your bones are big. I go, golly. It's a big bone boy. It's a big bone. So, all right. So that was my, that's where I was at. That's good. That's pretty fun. That is fun. That is fun.

I saw a video you posted on the UFC fight. You just see Mel Gibson stand up for a second. I'm like, was that Mel Gibson? Yeah, Kevin Costner was behind him, next to him. Oh, really? Yeah, I went to the UFC fight Saturday. It was the first time I got to go where I was on the front row. I just sat next to Mel Gibson. It was like Julian with me, and then me, Mel Gibson, Mel Gibson's buddy, Adam Carolla, Kevin Costner, Bill Simmons.

Wow. And like, so we're all just on the front row. And I talked to Mel the whole fight. Pretty awesome dude. Talked to Mel. Yeah. Finally met a cool Catholic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on. Yeah, he was cool, man. He was... It was like, you know, just fun. You're like talking about the... We didn't talk about like Hollywood or anything like that. We just talked like dudes like talk about the fight. Yeah. But...

The whole, it was awesome. I mean, you know, I obviously, I'm a fan of the UFC, so it worked out. And that new dome, that Inuit dome where the Clippers play is awesome. It is awesome. It's, it's, it's the new level where domes are going to go, the screen and stuff, but the fights were good. And Nate's going to be in Passion of the Christ too. Yeah, it goes. Yeah.

I'm playing Joseph. You got to learn Aramaic. Yeah. It's going to be tough. I guess I'm going to go into the movie a little bit. They go, you know, you're Joseph. So you'll be out pretty quick. Yeah. You're out pretty. He goes, we have you pop in, but you, yeah, it's a cameo more. Yeah. But it'll be right there for the main part.

of the movie. So that's cool. So yeah. So that's where I was at. That's awesome. I was home. I could have been working. It was our five-year wedding anniversary. All right. Congrats. That's great. Yeah. So yeah. All right. I love how we did this whole long diet thing and you go, yeah, so that's where I was at. Well, I was excited to talk about it. Yeah. And so...

I was at a place where I was talking about this diet. So that's why. Yeah. I could have asked y'all before where you were at. And being at UFC, seeing people in really good shape will make you go, I want to get in shape. Oh, yeah. These guys are all in shape. Even in movies, you watch like Meet the Parents. Like Ben Stiller is a goofy kind of dork. That's part of the plot, right? He's this like dorky male nurse. Yeah.

And then they're playing volleyball in the pool. He takes his shirt off. He's ripped. He's ripped. Steve Carell is in very good shape on The Office. Oh, yeah. You don't want it to be... Comedy is like that interesting thing where you don't... It's almost...

You don't want to be like too in shape or something. I'm not trying to give, I mean, I, I just, what I want to do. I can't, I can't live like this. There's nothing funny about a physically fit man. That's a line from funny people. No one wants to see Lance Armstrong do comedy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I, yeah. I don't plan on, I just don't want to walk around looking like a problem. 36%. 36% is yeah. They don't, they don't even know what to tell me, you know?

I mean, when you get like that, you know, they're like, just walk for 10 minutes a day. Like, that's the advice they give you. That's how big you are, is they just go like, do a 10-minute walk. Try to get the blood flowing a bit. Take some off those joints. Do you get out of bed? Yeah. Here are some aerobics you can do sitting down. Yeah, just a lot of, you know, I'm going to be in a pool with old women. Yeah, water aerobics. Yeah.

Dusty, did you do the Tonight Show last week? I did last week. I did the Tonight Show at a hot set. Super fun. It was a good set. I did the Comedy Cellar, too, the night before. The last time I did the Comedy Cellar, I did not feel good about it. And I was not pumped about it. Wait, it was before the Tonight Show last time? Yeah, just as a prep. I always do it as a prep for the Tonight Show. Yeah.

And the last time, I mean, it went fine. I won them back by the end, but it was a first half was not very good. And then this time it was super hot. Oh, that's great. Like so hot. I was like, I could just go home now. I don't even need to do the Tonight Show. Did you go to the Cellar or the Village Underground? I did both. Yeah. Yeah. Did the Cellar first, then the Village Underground. Saw Derek Stroop. He was there doing some sets. Saw Ryan Hamilton there. He was doing some sets. But yeah, Tonight Show was great. It was a hell of a show.

It's a hot set. Feel good. Number five. Five, dude. Five timers club. That's insane. Yeah. I think they said Nate's done it 15 times now. Something like that. Yeah, but I think it's a mix of just being on the show, too. Like, I mean, Sneddard started doing panel. Counting panel as well. He goes, but yeah. I mean, I think I was like 13.

10, 11, 12, 13, something like that. Just stand-up sets. It is fun to do it multiple times. It is. Because it's nice to... You know, because it's like, you know, you do it, but it's nice to be asked to come back and then to come back. You know what's the cool part about those sets is where they have the wide shot and you see Fallon in the darkness like...

keeling over with laughter. That's the best. I could hear the band laughing this time. I really felt like this was one of my better sets. And they're not your usual audience. Yeah, I felt like... Yeah, I mean... Sorry. Well, I feel like they always laugh. They're always nice, but it's like I really could hear them this time. They're big comedy fans. Yeah. Yeah. I could hear... I always like to do the set...

on the show before the show just to... Oh, you do it? I always do it. Oh, really? That kind of to the crew. And this time the crew actually was laughing and I was expecting no one to laugh. So it actually threw me when they started laughing at my stuff. And yeah, it was great. I mean, it was just fun all around. Yeah, I like to do it. I really like to kind of have a bad set before I...

before I go, just so I know. Yeah, because when you walk out, for people who don't know, when you do like, you kind of go out to run through the show, you rehearse, you, as a stand-up, they go, if you want to do your whole set, like the musician might play their whole song. Yeah. And so you could do the set. I always did, I would go out there and, you know, maybe I did one joke or something, but I didn't do the whole set. But that is interesting that you...

like to do it that makes sense to go and you because you get a rhythm of like this is what it's going you've already said it in the room and so you kind of know what to do and it you know chances are it's gonna go worse for the crew than it will when you actually so it's like so you know i like to have a set where i'm like i want to see how what jokes are

will work every time and what jokes potentially might not work so that when they don't work as well as I as they have other times I'm prepared for that yeah it's nothing like a joke working every time and then you tell it and it doesn't work and you're like whoa what happened it throws me yeah so I like to know all possible scenarios

Yeah. And it was great. And then I went to Birmingham, Alabama, did a sold out show. A lot of friends and family. A lot of people I haven't seen in a long time came out. Matter of fact, we took this picture. This is me. And I had some stepbrothers when I was growing up from from the time I was like,

four to 13 about nine years and uh this is when i in 1986 on the right and i've not seen the guy in the back in about 30 years wow but he came to the show we all hung out uh and i made him recreate this photo here did you recognize him from or what had it been well i had seen him on facebook prior he actually married a girl i went to high school with that i was already friends with

So I saw him on there, but physically seen him in 30 years. And it was great. We hung out. We had a good time.

Talked about some old times. I got a joke where I talk about drinking gas. Trying to siphon out of a lawnmower. It's because we used to have a charge account at this old country store. Where we'd go, I want to get some gas. He would just let us put it in. My dad would pay the bill. They jacked it up. They started buying cigarettes and beer. Jacked it up. We got cut off. In order to ride the four-wheeler, we needed gas. We tried to siphon out of a lawnmower. Then I accidentally drank it. It was a...

You know, it was a fun time. Yeah. But I burped up gas for like a week. I mean, it is serious stuff. It's a real deal, yeah. But yeah, it was great to see those guys. And they look good. That's awesome. You know, they pointed out, clearly these guys are biological brothers here. Yeah. And I'm the step. But yeah, it was nice. That's awesome. And then I went to Pensacola, Florida. Another great show. Yeah. Two theater shows. Two hot weekend shows.

One sold out, one very close to being sold out. That's sold out. That counts. Yeah. We have single seats left. That's true. That's true. So, I mean, those are sold out. Yeah. And it's a great weekend. Yeah. I had a couple weekends off, and it's nice to be back. To get back in the groove. Yeah, it is. Get back in the groove. Yeah. Yeah, I got on the subway, and I've been on the subway in a while. That guy was just looking at his phone. It looks like he's passed out, but...

That's great, man. Yeah. You know, it's nice to be, because I watch, I stay on the internet a lot, right? And I, you know, and the internet is always making New York look like it's just completely collapsing and everything's awful and bad. And I had a great time.

Nothing bad happened. Nothing bad ever happens to me in New York City. Yeah. When you're going there to perform on the Tonight Show. Yeah. And you stay in 30 Rock. You're right. Rock and Phil is sick. Well, that's true. What's everybody complaining about? That is true. They treat you like royalty here. That is true. That's literally kind of the problem they have. Well, maybe. Is that everybody just goes, I don't understand. My butler's cool. And he's never done anything to me. Yeah.

The point is... I rode the subway once in 1987, and it was fine. Even Birmingham, Alabama, everybody says it's dangerous. Have a great time. Yeah, you tend to go and have a great time when you don't have to grind it out. That looks like Judah Friedlander. Like I had a hint on his hat? Yeah. He did. I didn't see him. People dressing up like you at the shows. Sighting times. Yeah.

All right. That was Jimmy Fallon. In that video, that's Jimmy Fallon doing my wave. Oh, yeah. That's fun. He says, Dusty Slug, give a little wave. Yeah, that's cool. Well, Aaron, you were in Detroit. You skipped yourself, but you were in Detroit. I was in Detroit. We mercifully canceled those shows that were during the game. Oh, wow. It was the right move, dude. Yeah. Because that club. Before or like that day? Like two days before. Yeah. I go, why don't we call and float the idea? Yeah.

And then they brought it up before we could even mention it. So we were like, yeah, we'll do it. Yeah. The club is right next to the stadium. It was chaos. I mean, it was like the Super Bowl there. Yeah. So it would have been pointless to do the show. Yeah. I was home by 7.30 a.m. Saturday. It was great. And then also if the shows had been after, it would have been a sad loss. Yeah, and the Lions got – it was a bad loss. Yeah. So the mood would have been bad. One guy emailed us that he went to both, and Friday night was still worse. I'm joking.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I heard your shows were great. They were fun. They were fun. Your old buddy Daniel Rucker was at it. Oh, yeah, yeah. He texted me. He said he loved talking with me. He said he was a DCA guy. And then I said, remind me of your name. He said, Daniel Rucker. I was like, you've been name dropped. I mean, dozens of times on the podcast.

Good guy. Him and his wife were great. Anyway. Awesome. All right. Let's get started with the comments. There we go. This doesn't start the engagement part. That's right. Now we're talking to you people. Yeah. Leon Weiswold. Married into that name. New favorite episode. Nate and Dusty were in rare form, especially during the back-to-back conversation of Big Guys on Planes and Lebanon DMV.

boom yeah it was a hot it was a hot we brought it yeah fine i mean he's saying rare form so basically saying finally yeah oh yeah yeah very rare we're in a good groove right now me and bestie aaron and brian did what they did but you do we have a high we have a high ceiling y'all just the bar is high the bar is brian and i have to show up yeah yeah yeah we've done our part you've done yeah

Angie Sickler. At the age of 14, 15, my son and daughter were Vine stars. Chris, is that a weed? And had a merch deal in the works with Vine, but I finalized the deal just as Vine was going under. Fast forward to now and a bunch of randos online are reposting his top videos and selling merch based on his videos. That's crazy. Do you have like, I looked it up. Do you know this? No. Remember this? No, not by the name at least. Yeah. I,

I like to think Angie was really dragging her feet on the deal. This is her regret. Well, TikTok's back for now. Yeah. We'll see. That's what now my friend is. Yeah, I mean, that's the thing is the internet, that kind of stuff. It's the Wild West. And so, you know, it's impossible to kind of say. But this is almost a – here's an example of what I believe if you want to do something.

Like something like this means, all right, you had the idea, but that means you can't just look at it as like, well, now a bunch of people are taking money from us and we should have, we should have capitalized on that. You should create a new, uh,

Chris, is that a weed? Like, that's how you got to think of it. Should have kept it. And you got to think of it. And it's, and you might still be, I'm not even saying you did anything wrong or she might not be. I looked him up. He's doing great. Yeah. You might not. Yeah. He's got it now. He's on. I mean, he's, he's, he's still got a, a presence. He, oh, that's good. I'm forgetting now exactly what he's doing now, but, um,

Okay. Yeah. So he's doing good. All right. Yeah. But that's it. But just, this is more general advice. Somebody talked about it. I was talking to someone about it where they, people think, well, like I'm about to, I need to capitalize now on something. And you're, if you're in that mindset of capitalizing out, then you just got to be aware that like, there is going to be no future then. So then go like, I'm capitalizing now. And then my plan will be something completely different. Otherwise,

If something pops off and then you got, wow, everybody's looking at me now. Now you got to create. It's not about capitalizing on what that was at that moment. You got to go create the next thing. Yeah, keep it going. Because then once they keep it going, because then once they can rely to know I can come to this person and they're going to continue to bring me entertainment. That's how you do it. I think too many people get like a viral thing.

And then they go, I got to make everything off of this right now. And then they focus on that. And then you're, you know, it's like, just, it's like, all right, you, you figured something out. See if you can repeat that or just accept. Yeah. I'm trying to go get as much cash as I can just to duck out and then be like, you know, go, I'm, this is just, this was a fun moment in my life. Like the, like the girl, the Hawk to a girl that, um,

seemingly is in trouble now. I don't know, but she really capitalized. She can go. Yeah. It's like they do something like that. You know, it's like you don't, cause when you get something like that pops a viral, it's rarely you've had enough time to really prepare. Yeah. So you're then asked to like, well, everybody's watching. So everybody's like, all right, we'll come do a whole thing. And you're like, oh, I can't do a whole thing.

Right, especially with her where you didn't actually do anything creative. Something just happened to you. Yeah. That's cap. But if you do it, you could probably do it again, right? If you create it. Well, I don't know. I mean, that's where it's tough because you got to go grind it out. It's hard to make someone...

someone to go grind something out when you just have immediately been giving a million dollars basically oh yeah so like when you're you know it would take enough awareness i mean it's almost impossible to be honest it's like you would have to get it in like a child star like maybe you know because it's like when they go get that and they become famous so quick it's what are you going to tell that person what are you going to tell them when they're

you know, you know, what do you want to do now? And they're like, well, I want to do this other idea, this other crazy idea. They don't really know what they're building off of because they haven't had to go like through the entire ropes to earn it. Yeah. I looked back at my career and I would have wanted all the success when I was just started. I was trying to get that. It never happened. And I look back on it now.

you know, I was blessed. Thank the Lord it didn't happen because it's now I'm in a much better position to be like, I can make decisions. My emotions are out of it. When you're younger, you're very emotional and you make very, you know, uh, my emotions are out a lot of any decisions I make now. And they're just, and you gotta kind of be like that. And it's hard when you're not this person, but,

You know, in general, it's hard for someone to do that. Whatever you go, if you want to get into the comedy, if you want to get into music, just be prepared to be like, this is it. I'm grinding it out. Yeah. And I'm going to figure it out. And then, you know, and it works. You know, I see there's a lot of guys, comics we started with that are writers now. And maybe they're not doing stand-up like they did when we first did it, but they're writers and they're creating shows. And you learn a tool, learn something. Learn a tool, an act, have something you can sit on.

Brooke McLeod Smith. Brooke McLeod Smith. She looks like she got married and kept the McLeod. Yeah, that's a good name. That is a good name. The McLeod family is prevalent. Is that the word? Prominent? Prominent. Prevalent, too. Oh, yeah? What's prevalent? Prevalent feels like a lot. I don't know that there's a lot of McLeods. Oh, prevalent means there's a lot. So Smith is prevalent. Yes. Yes.

McCloud is prominent. You were trying to say they're like an important family. Yes. Yeah. So the Burke McCloud, McCloud. The clouds get things done. The clouds get things done. They run the city. Who's the McClouds?

Everybody knows McClouds. Oh, okay. Everybody knows them. Okay, okay. McClouds. Okay. It's a strong name. It sure is. McClouds run the town. Yeah. It's so strong that you're like, I'll take your name. I'll take your name. But I'm not going to drop the other one. Let me do your name a favor. It'd be insane to drop my name. The Smith family has never dealt with this type of publicity around their last name. Yes. But because of the McCloud got attached to it. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah. My dad had prodigy. What? My dad had prodigy. I think that's the internet in the 90s. Yeah. Oh, okay. My dad had prodigy in the early 90s. I mean, come on. This is a McLeod. They had internet early 90s. My dad had prodigy in the early 90s, which was an online service that had message boards.

I was also the first in my county to get AOL. I mean, this is the McLeod family. When I searched for other people, there was nobody. Yeah, because you're one of one. Finally, a friend I knew also joined, but it took a while. Another McLeod. Probably another McLeod.

Yeah, this McLeod family is... That's so wild just to be on the internet alone. Yeah. And there's nobody else on there. That's how early it is? That's crazy. I'd never heard of Prodigy. Online service from 1984 to 2001. I remember Prodigy. It's one of the major internet service providers of the 1990s. Yeah, I remember Prodigy. Wow. I don't think I remember Prodigy. Where are they at now? They're defunct. Oh.

They're part of AT&T now. Oh. Or they became part of AT&T. Got married and got off of it. Yeah. They closed. Do they always say it like that? Founded and then they say fate?

With a company? If it's a company that no longer exists. That seems like a harsh... It's like what happened to it. But it doesn't really seem... Maybe I'm not clear on what defunct means, but it doesn't seem defunct if you're now a part of AT&T. Yeah, you like sold to AT&T. Yeah, you joined up with them. You teamed up. No longer in effect or used, not operating or functioning. I think they became part of AT&T and then AT&T phased them out.

That's what it feels like. It feels like they still came in. They're part of AT&T's strength now. Okay. Yeah. Maybe. I've got to read up on this. Never heard of it. We're just straight AOL. Well, yeah, you were later. This was early.

When I was in middle school, AOL Instant Messenger was huge. And for me to be on it, I took up the one phone line we had in the house. My dad was a pastor and he would get to work the next morning and find out someone in the church had died and they couldn't get a hold of him all night because our line was always busy. He would be furious with me.

All so that I could post a song lyric from Nirvana. That was big. He had an away message on AIM. Yeah. And he put lyrics to a song.

Oh, really? Oh, yeah. It was huge. Like if someone would message you and you weren't there. If you were AFK, you put up an away message. What is that? Away from keyboard. Oh, okay. You put up an away message and then your buddy list shows up. What would yours be?

Oh, dude, I had all kinds of embarrassing stuff. Like, Good Charlotte lyrics, all this. Oh, it was the worst. It was super embarrassing. Were you a teenage girl when you were in high school? We're not judging. I mean, it's fine. Yeah. We think it's great. Good Charlotte. That first album was great. But you have an away message. So they go, oh, he's online, but he's AFK. Let's see what he's up to. And then your away message would be just a way to express yourself. Eh.

Would you sing the song or it's typed out? It's just like text. Seems like people from Madison Hills Church should realize that they could have reached her on AOL and say if they couldn't get a hold of her dad, get her AOL handle. Call Brooke McLeod Smith and say send her a message.

And to be honest with you, you might have a health problem if this many people were dying at your church. It's like every week, 40 people did. I show up to church and everybody's like, where did it happen? We called you last night. He's like, I don't know. Madison. She was on the internet. I had no idea.

The guy who, last week we talked about Morse code, the guy who invented it, Morse, he did it because he was like in New York on business or something and his wife died and they had to send him a letter like, you know,

uh saying she's sick but by the time he got it and got home she was already dead and he was like i want to invent a that's very sad a quicker way to get news yeah erin thinks it's funny gosh uh it's just funny that's how they had to do it back so we had to hand write a letter your wife died your wife's sick your wife oh that she died yeah yeah so wait was he already home by the time the letter got there

He got the letter. He got the letter and then goes, oh, I need to go home. It took him like two weeks to get home. Oh. And that's funny to you. It's still kind of funny. Yeah. That's how Elvis died. But I think that's how, I bet back then you knew, like, you got a letter that she's sick. You're like, I don't know.

don't know yeah i'm gonna you almost gotta assume the word you just basically just gotta say goodbye every time you leave that oh just speaking of speaking of elvis just real fast i gotta send a tiktok video to them tiktok was down for 12 hours it's a sad time came back i found a video it says that elvis is donald trump so i said that to them yeah and so it's gotta be true in case you were wondering where he is something like that's gotta be yeah yeah

Grace, Aaron doesn't even look overweight at all anymore. Oh. Wow. So it's funny that he is still worried about his plane seat.

All the guys on the podcast just like the weight jokes, but he looks pretty normal sized to me. Granted, there is a big table in the way. Thank you, Grace. That's very nice. I'm 35%. She has a big, I think she has a big TV. Sounds like she's given a lot of grace. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's got one of those old, old big TVs that's the box.

Yeah. The rear projection TV. Where do you watch this from, Grace, with binoculars across the street? It goes, it's, yeah. No, Aaron, you want to do your body scan? Will you say your body? I already know I'm 35%. That would be great.

If anybody else wants to be vulnerable. I'll do it. Isn't it just a, it's, you can just calculate it, right? Based on. Yeah. But if you want to get punched in the mouth, go do it for real. And then you watch some girl you never met. Tell you that's where it's the real deal. Just the, you know, she's like, yeah, she's like out of college and she's like, hi, uh, it's the most, I've never seen someone like this. Yeah. And you're like, Oh, Oh no. Yeah.

Anthony Goodwin. Dusty pitched an idea to Trey that he should have created a burner account to go against himself. Now I'm starting to believe that Dump Dusty might actually be Dusty. He is a genius. Yeah. Ooh. You know, the Dump Dusty guy has like an AI profile picture. It almost looks like me. The Dump Dusty guy is trying to be me. Well, they say you hate the things you see in yourself. Yeah. You know?

But they're saying you are dumb, Dusty. He even popped up on the Tonight Show set to say dumb, Dusty. Did he really? There's no one more obsessive than this guy. He's got Google Alerts set up for you. Even I, if I were the burner account, I couldn't get on it that fast. Yeah. Yeah.

Becky Waller. My husband and I saw Greg Warren in Tacoma, and it was a riot. We also made some new friends. The woman sitting at our table was wearing a Nate Land hoodie, and her husband had on a We're Having a Good Time t-shirt. All right. When I told them we got to see tickets to see Aaron again when he comes back in February, they hopped on.

on their phones and got tickets to the same show. All right. I love that. That's what we love. While Greg's on stage buying tickets to my shows. That's exactly right. Take that, Greg. Yeah. That's when we want you guys to buy tickets during Greg's set. Yeah. We've always said that. Yeah. Yeah, you're like, sure, this is a riot, but we could do better. As you watch Greg, always remember, you should be thinking about us and where we are at. Yeah.

Thank you, Becky. I think Greg could come in. What do you think he's going to come in with? Donuts? Like...

He's old, so I don't know if he can eat beef. He's healthy. Yes, he's old, but he's an athlete, man. He's still got it in him. You think Greg's going to be able to knock out? I think he could house a couple dozen. I think so. I really think so. I think it's going to put him out of commission for a long time. Oh, yeah. He needs to be off. Yeah, we need to have probably somebody on standby. We're having ambulance. Like in Foxcatcher. Yeah.

Did you ever see that? Yeah, yeah. Channing Tatum, when he went off the wagon, just started eating cake and all that. Oh, yeah. Then he had to lose 12 pounds in 30 minutes to make weight. It's a true story. I've never watched that movie. Kaylee Kendrick. I'm currently listening to old episodes. I just listened to Nate talk about the time he visited Djibouti. I'm from the States, but I've lived in Djibouti for a few years and got so excited to hear y'all talk about it.

Nate mentioned that people work until noon and then everything's closed. That is true. It's so hot here that everyone in the country stops everything to rest midday. A countrywide nap time is one of my favorite things about living here. Wow. It's true. That sounds fun. Yeah, it is. It is. It's crazy. It all just shuts down.

So how early do they start, though? Is it a pretty early day, you think? Yeah, I think they get started very early, and then they have to just, you know, everybody lays low, and then you come back out during the night. Jeez, how hot does it get? I mean, it's got to be. I think it was like 85 is considered cold to them or something like that. Wow. Yeah. I wish it was 85 degrees in this room. The room's freezing. Yeah.

I love it. This is what it is. This is great. Yeah. This feels like right when you get into a walk-in freezer. Grace should hear that, right? It's like, that's what we're talking about here. We're like, everybody's freezing and Aaron's like, I love it. I like my toes to be a little cold. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good feeling. This is right up your alley. Not a lot of circulation getting there to those toes. Yeah. Come on, man. That's too far, Dustin. No.

You may not know this, but you used to have gout, okay? Sorry about that. He's a gout survivor. I am sorry about that. I got scraped out. I don't think of you as a really big guy either, to be honest. I just like making the jokes. Yeah, I love it. I love it. I don't think of Brian as that old either. I just like making the jokes. Yeah. Well, let me get your glasses fixed. Well, I have the one thing that...

Like we tease you about reading. Yeah. Everybody's like, wait, you guys can improve on that. There's something you can do. I'm just going to get older year after year after year. You're getting worse and worse. Yeah, but I'm getting older. Well, I'll still make fun of your age. I mean, it's hard because you need them to make fun of my age. Yeah. I'm telling you, I don't think you're going to remember to do it. When I'm 88 and you're 81, you think you'll still be? Yeah, a couple guys, what is it, born in the 70s, graduated high school in the 90s. That's right. That's right.

i told someone that this weekend they loved it because they were like they're a little older than me uh

Mel Gibson. Mel Gibson. Yeah. Mel Gibson, yeah. He's older than you. He is. Yeah. Devin Lee Johnson. I would say that I would tell you that you don't feel old. We make fun of it, but you don't feel old. Oh, thank you. Because I don't think I would make the jokes if I felt you felt old. Yeah. Like if you were hobbling in here or whatever and had trouble getting down at the desk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, right. No. No.

Yeah, we do. It helps that you have a two-year-old. Well, we did build a ramp at this club. In anticipation. Because we know. It's coming. It's coming. Yeah, well, that is true. Yeah. It is true. Devin Lee Johnson. Dusty, I've seen Wicked on Broadway in New York twice, and I can promise you the movie version is a thousand times more amazing.

I know how you feel about witchcraft, but I promise the movie will bring you so much joy. They did not ruin it. They made it so much better. That's a rare thing to hear, right? Yes. Well, that's interesting. I appreciate that. Devin Lee Johnson. We're still going on camera. Oh, you are? Yeah. So we just record in the dark? Yeah. Devin Lee Johnson. I'm not recording in the dark.

you know I think it's kind of fun this is the third podcast in a row where the power is down yeah do we show it yeah oh then let's just keep going yeah the discussion last one okay here we go Kit Oliver

The discussion around favorite venue types was... Kent Oliver, the discussion around favorite venue types was interesting. You mentioned clubs, theaters, and arenas. Has Nate ever considered a stadium show? Or do you think audio would be too difficult to master for college? You know, we'll see. We'll see. I...

I'm thinking about that stuff. Are you? I feel like, and I don't know, maybe I'm wrong because I've never been to a stadium comedy, but I feel like it is more for the novelty to be like, look, I did a stadium. Because it can't be super good for comedy. Look, I can see, I want to do some pretty big stuff. I, you know, yeah, I do have...

I don't know. I, I think you could do it. And I mean, look with our arenas. I mean, I really make sure I do the best I can to make it with audio. We're doing a screens on this next tour. Uh,

I do everything to make it where you can... I want you to have the best experience in here. We have more trucks because of this. We're doing stuff to make it where you can do it. So I do like the challenge of doing it. Now, I would never plan on doing a big stadium tour for...

doing like this, whatever. But if I could, if I, you know, I don't know if I, you know, Titans got a new dome coming. Yeah. Let's open the Titan show. Yeah. It's like, maybe there's a, you know, who knows? We'll see. But, uh, you know, I don't know what we're all, you know? Yeah. So we love talking about our Helix mattresses. I have had my Helix mattress for almost three years now. Nate's parents just got one and they love it.

We all do. It improves how I sleep. Everyone knows I love their pillows. We talk about it all the time, but it has helped with my sleep. Brian and Aaron have sleep apnea. Well documented. And they said, throwing us under the bus here. Come on, Helix. And they said, this is an ad read that everybody gets. Every podcast, it says, Brian and Aaron, that they'll put your last names in there. And they said their Helix mattresses has helped with it.

Sleep apnea, that is, that they have. I'm getting better sleep. Aaron's getting better sleep. And Brian is getting better sleep. My old mattress was one of those old springs, you know, just real wires coming through, stabbing me in the back. I had a lot of tetanus shots coming out.

because I kept getting stabbed by the springs. You wake up with smeared blood on the mattress, and you're like, what happened? Yeah. But finally, I realized how bad that sleep was for me, and Helix fixed that issue. It's great for hot sleepers, people with back pain, or snores. Yeah.

It's for everyone. Yeah. It's a good mattress. The pillows are great. It is a good mattress. They're really good. I like them. I do sleep good on my Helix mattress. My whole family does. Yeah.

They are still offering 20% off statewide, not statewide, anywhere in the country, sitewide, and two free dream pillows with mattress purchase. That's helixsleep.com slash nate, helixsleep.com slash nate. Yep. All right. This week, I thought since you had your big DCA weekend, we could talk about high school. There we go. All right. All right.

And I just saw a bunch of friends that I went to high school with this past weekend. It's like a reunion type show. So we're all 10 years apart. We all have our... Do you do five-year reunions? For high school? Yeah. I don't... Maybe they do, but they're super casual. I feel like 10 years is the first...

kind of let's make a big deal out of it. Because you're 15th this year. I guess so. 25. We did a 10, and then the 20 was during 2020, so it got canceled. So they are doing a 5 this year, 25. Was it hard to get canceled in high school that definitely did not believe in the reason it was getting canceled? Yeah, yeah.

Well, I bet it was for me. I was like, let's get together. I wouldn't be in Opelika. They just go, y'all just had it like normal. We didn't even realize what was going on. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. So you're at 20. You're 25 is next. 25 is this year. Yeah. Oh, yeah. What do you know? 35 for me. 35 for you? Yeah. And what is mine? So I'm 97. You'd be like 28. Oh, 28.

So I'll be in 27, I'll be 30. 30-year reunion. Wow. And I saw a lot of them this past weekend, and I see a good bit just traveling now. But yeah, 30-year. That's crazy. This would be, I can't make mine. Do you do college stuff? Do you talk to anybody from college? Some, but a lot more high school. Yeah, do you? Is there college reunions? Or is that not a big thing? Yeah, I performed at my college reunion last year.

Is that as big as high school? Or is high school more than known for reunions? I mean...

I don't know. I care more about the high school one. I keep in touch more with college friends. We talk all the time, especially with, like, football team doing as well as it's doing. We're talking all the time now, so. And you grew up with high school. Like, high school people, like, you grow up with your whole life. It was kindergarten with them. Yeah. Yeah, but college people tend to look down on anybody that does not go. Like, college people are elites that look down on people. Yeah.

So I would think once you go to college, you're like, obviously I'm not going to talk to anybody from high school because I...

Well, you keep them around to feel good about yourself. You know what I mean? Okay. Yeah. You got to know like, what are the common folk think about, you know, this going on. Like you go to it and you go, Hey, how much is milk? That's right. And you find out all that kind of stuff. Yeah. In case I want to run for president. What are people still buying eggs? Yeah. They go. Yes. Yeah. That's nice. That's cool, man. Yeah. Who's the president? Yeah.

Because it doesn't matter to us because we're above it. Yeah. Who? Well, that's cool, man. That's cool. Yeah. I like that. Do you ever watch Succession? No. Okay. It's a great show. He uses that as an example of elite people watching it. Well, that's literally the whole point of it. Me and Laura were going to try to start watching it together because we don't watch anything together. And I was going to start watching it. I know it's very much talked about. It's a great show. That's a show that I would use as an example of

In Hollywood, what I want to make is that you got a show like that, that they're making that kind of stuff where it is. I'm not saying it's not the best show ever made. I'm not saying any of that stuff, but it's not. You're making it for each other and you're not making it for mass viewing.

And so that's what... It's pretty inaccessible, a lot of it. Yes. And I think I could watch it. I think I could like it. I think it's the idea of like... It's Neiman Marcus and you're like, well, but you're not making any more Walmarts. Yeah. You're only making...

Neiman Marcus's. But you could take the whole story of that show and bring it down like 10 income brackets and it would still be the same show. It's about the family dynamics and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah. But anyway, but in that show, it takes place during COVID and it's never addressed on the show. Yeah. And the creator of the show was like, well...

It did not affect people this rich at all. So just never even address it at all. They never wear masks. They never do anything. Oh, wow. These are billionaires. They're doing whatever they want anyway. Yeah. That's a good way of getting around having to write in COVID, but it's also probably pretty accurate. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Again, I don't want to be yelled at about success. I know. I just say, I just always think of it. I don't think anybody's making, you could make stuff that is, like you said, more accessible. That would be more. But then that's the show that wins every award and does everything because it's great. It deserves it. But you got to be like,

You're killing yourself with these award shows. And you're like, you know, you gotta, uh, have some big mood. You gotta have people, you know, the Oscars can't be, I get it. You're making like this perfect art, but like, I mean, dude, people have lives. They need to go watch one emission, mission impossible movie a year. And then, and then go back to their busy lives.

I think we got to start selling DVDs again. They do say that's what's killing comedies, right? It's like people, you would make a comedy, you would make a certain amount of money at the box office, but then you would make a ton of money off DVDs. Certain ones like, I saw a thing like talking about Grandma's Boy was not a very good box office success, but huge DVD money.

But they knew the whole time, right? It's not going to make money. But nobody wants to do that now because you're not going to make the DVD money. I say we demand physical media. But I think the reason they stopped making it is because people weren't buying it. It's not like they just decided to stop making them. We got to demand it. Well, yeah. If we did, they would make them. You said, I'm not going to sell it.

to Netflix or to anybody, you have to buy it. Physical media. Yeah. But maybe not DVD, but you have to buy it on your CD. And nobody would watch it. Yeah. But maybe, maybe not, unless it was good. Mm-hmm. All right. Somebody uploads it on, somebody's even touring it online. Yeah. Yeah. That's, you know what, that is tough. Yeah. Is that a storyline in succession? That's what I, that's what I always feel like you're saying. That was a West Wing episode. Oh, okay. Mm-hmm.

West Wing was a mass hit, right? Oh, yeah. See? You can make stuff that's... Oh, yeah. Won a ton of Emmys and everything else. I think that's when all that stuff was great. Yeah. Because it was shows that people were watching. Now it's kind of the award shows are for each other, for them. Yeah. I know what you mean. Yeah. They even brought Vin Diesel out.

to do like the they had to put in after the golden globes like all right box office hit yeah and you're like why are y'all why do you hate the slop for the pigs awards basically yeah why like you're like why do y'all hate the guy who looked down so much on uh anything that can work for everybody yeah

The guy who went for Baby Reindeer, his acceptance speech was basically the opposite of what you're trying to do. He was like, finally, Hollywood, it's a complicated world out there, and we need to tell complicated stories. And thank you for taking a chance on this complicated story. They do need to do that. But you need to know that your Marvel movies are the only reason they're able to do that. They subsidize all of them. They can't. So there has to be a realization to go like, yeah, dude, everybody wants – I saw Baby Reindeer.

It's great. The girl in that movie, in that show is, I met her. She's unbelievable. And she won everything. Yeah.

thing uh but so you can't do that no one's against that everybody wants to do that and you know and i'm not saying we need more marvel movies but you also have to go there has to be a medium ground again there's been like a middle class there has to be a middle class of movies it can't all be like nothing and then the a marvel movie there needs to be a business structure vin diesel's the only name you guys have said in a while that i've recognized yeah

I've not heard any of these movies. All right, high school. Ben Diesel, now we're talking. That's a movie I saw right after high school. Yeah. Fast and Furious. That brought it back. I like that. They're still coming out. Yeah. 25 years later.

What was your high school mascot, Dusty? The Bulldogs. We had two, though. It's original. We had two. Just like Auburn. Well, no, they were both Bulldogs, but we had two live mascots. One was called Opie and Laika. We had a guy and a girl, Opie and Laika. Oh.

Oh, that's fun. That's cool. He had a real... They were bulldogs? Like dressed up bulldogs. Yeah, who? And then we had the... Like are you saying like dogs? Like mascot. Like they were people dressed. A person in a costume. Yes, yes, yes. I thought you meant like... I thought you meant actual dog. We had a bulldog named Otis.

So you did have a... Yeah, we had a real bulldog too. So a live mascot, when you say that, I was thinking dog. I was picturing the dog like Ugga. Yeah. Okay. Well, we did have Otis. Otis. And then Opie and Laika were the physical in costume. Did Otis live on campus or was he just somebody's dog? I don't know where he lived. He wasn't in a crate in the gym or anything. I don't know where he was...

He wasn't running around the school. Y'all couldn't find him when the game started? Yeah. He's chained up at the trailer park. Yeah. He's out there. Otis. Otis. Everybody quiet down. Otis. Here, boy. Yeah. But we were the Bulldogs. That's fine. We were the Knights. Both my high schools were the Knights, actually.

I went to two different high schools. I moved to Tennessee between my sophomore and junior year to another high school called the Knights. Go, Nats. Nats. So, yeah. I like that you made fun of mine for being very original. And then you're like, yeah, every school I ever went to was the Knights. Yeah. I mean, I think Bulldogs is a little more common than Knights, dude. I don't know. Bulldog has to be. I'm guessing. Did you grow up in England? Do you have the most common high school mascot names?

Do you have that on there? I don't. Okay. I'm guessing Wildcats and I'm guessing Bulldogs is going to be a close number two. That was Wildcats. Yeah. Dusty, would you go to a school or send your kids to a school if their mascot was a devil? Nah.

No, I don't. I mean, you know, I don't know where else in them, but I don't like the way that starts off. We were the Blue Devils. Yeah. Oh, really? Oh, really? That's funny that they would do that even there. Brought my Letterman jacket. You got a Letterman jacket? Yeah. District Champs, 1990. How about that?

Pretty big jack. Doesn't say your name, though, huh? Well, it's got it. It's got a name. Whoa, look at that. Did you play? Yeah, that's. They finally put me on the team my senior year. I tried that every year just for kind of like comedic purposes. Are you talking about like for real? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Like, I mean. See, that's what I thought would happen to me is they would finally just go like, he's done it every year. Let's just let him have it. I batted four times. I went for four. Yeah. I mean, that's good batting. What was your hit, though?

A single or? It arguably could have been an error, but I'm calling it a hit. Okay. Where'd you hit? Like, check swing, kind of like, and then the shortstop got a glove on it, but he didn't. He didn't. Sounds like a hit. Sounds like a hit to me. Yeah, that sounds like a hit. I agree. Where'd you, you got to, it was a single. Yep. And then did you get a,

Did you get to score? I don't think I did. You got picked off at first. What time I got to? We did have that happen last year for senior year. Is it when you start running, how long did it take you to get out of the batter's box? Well, Michael's daughter ran faster than any of us in that 40. Oh, really? Did you see that? No. He sent it to us. Oh, really? She ran. Moxie ran. She ran faster than any of us in the 40.

Moxie's got long legs. Wait until he's down to 20%. It's going to be crazy. It was a rematch. Moxie has to eat 100 donuts if he wins. Yeah, we'll get Moxie eating all these donuts. It's unbelievable that you're wearing a jacket from high school and it fits like a glove. It almost looked big. Yeah. Are you in better shape now than you were in high school? I mean, I've always been in great shape. Yeah. A natural athlete.

I don't think, if you looked at his baits, I don't think anything's ever changed. It's been... That is true. It's just been the...

Yeah, it's like the straight, like a doctor would be like, the chart is the same as when he was a baby. It's the same. Everything's the same. Nothing's ever changed. There's no up and downs. It's just straight. Everything fits when he was two to fits now. Maybe Brian's some kind of clone. He wasn't even really born. He's been this size his whole life. Yeah. Now, I just went to a...

Get my real ID. And they had my information in from when I was 16. Oh, my gosh. And the lady behind the car, she goes, you still weigh 140? Yeah. I was like, no. No, I don't. You got the real ID, huh? You got to be fighting the power on that thing. Well, everyone's going to have to have it. They're going to have to do it to fly, doesn't he? But the less of us sign up for it, the more they'll, because they've already pushed it back one time.

Oh, because no one signed up for it. People weren't getting it, so they pushed it back. You got to fight the power a little bit. Yeah. Is this you starting the movement right here? No, the movement has begun a little bit, but we should get it going. Yeah, yeah. I'll cut mine up when I get it. It's like, why do they need more ID for us to fly? You know what? It's like one that I never even thought of. I think when I got mine renewed, they...

Don't you have to go get renewed? You can say no. You need renewed, but you need extra stuff for it to be a real ID. You need proof of social security number. Yeah, I think. And you need proof of residency. Why don't they need all this stuff? The one you have now is a fake ID. But we've been flying all this time. Now they got to take pictures of us every time. It's like, you need more stuff every time. Just let me get on the plane.

I want an airline that's like risk it airline. That's what I want. No security. We go, hey, this is the one airline where you just get right through it. You figure it out yourself. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. It's not involved at all. Well, I want the plane to be up to speed, but the security on it, it's a risk. You don't know when we're taking off.

I just want... They go, what time is the flight? Noon-ish. I want people to be able to bring... Or maybe before. I want guns and knives on the plane. I want drinking. You can bring your own alcohol. Would your logo be a pirate? Yeah, yeah. I like that. Yeah, pirate on the thing. You can smoke in the bathroom. Smoke in the bathroom if you want.

Smoke in your seat. I like it. I don't know if I like smoking in the seat. Okay. But you can smoke in the back. Smoke in the back. Smoke in section in the back. Have a smoke in section. Yeah, exactly. I'm sorry I took it too far. That was ridiculous. I like it. Call it risk at airlines. Risk at airlines. That's what I want. Our buddy Ben Sawyer had the joke about a non-smoke in section in a restaurant is like a non-pee in section in the pool. Yeah. Yeah.

It's the same thing. If you are curious, Eagles, most common high school mascot in America. How far is Bulldogs? Bulldogs is number four. Wildcats is six. Where's the Knights at? The Knights is, oh, man, pretty close. Seven? Ten. Ten. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So up there. Pretty common. Up there. What about the Blue Devils? The Blue Devils? There's different versions of Devils. The Red Devils. Blue Devils, there's 183.

in america so we're original 172 high schools you guys just retread yeah yeah why would the yeah wow you were the dca blue devils no oh okay wildcats yeah it's a wild name for christians i was the uh my uh we were the or our football team and was old hickory bulldogs and then i don't remember dupont would you did you have mascots as dupont elementary dupont so

You know DuPont's mascot? We were always the Knights. Why do you not hear a lot of other dogs, I wonder? There should be other dogs, you know, like the... Like what? Like the Chows, the Chow Chow. Remember that dog? Chow Chow was the scary dog when I was a kid.

That was the one in the trailer park that would get you. That's true. We got bulldogs, and then it's all cats after that. Cats, even rams. What was number one? Number one is eagles. I guess there's wolves and stuff, timber wolves. Yeah. I mean, even you got cardinals. You got birds. What about rottweilers? Stuff like that. Doberman pinchers. It gets a little long. Yeah, it does.

It does. Lancers. 106 high school is the Lancers. They like mascot names are almost always two syllables. Occasionally one. Rarely more than that. And that's why the commanders, because, you know, if it is no longer that, they'll shorten it. That's why when Washington, the commanders are like, well, you can't shorten it to the commies.

But anybody else, like the Buccaneers or the Bucs? I think you just need it to fit that chant, the let's go da-da. You just need to fit that. Let's go, Commanders. Yeah, what do they do? They just go, Commanders. Commanders. I guess so. I hate that. Yeah.

Well, they had it with the Washington football team. I liked football team. It was awesome. I liked that. Let's go, Washington. I bet they do that. Yeah. Let's go. Just go. Let's go, football. Let's go, Wildcats. Just make it generic. You're cheering for both teams. Yeah. Just for the sport. Let's go football, dude. Trojans, Mustangs. Let's have a good game. Let's go, Lions. Let's go, safety. You know, that sort of stuff. Just keep it safe out here, guys. Take care of each other. Now,

I'm going to venture a guess that Nate and Dusty, you're the most famous graduates of your high school. I have a key to the city of my own hometown. Oh, yeah. I don't have a key. Yeah. Dusty's high school is a guy, Roy Lee Jackson, who played for several years in the Major League Baseball.

And he's now a pastor in Auburn. Okay. We have a couple of football players. T.J. Jackson went on the play. T.J. Jackson? Yeah, we had Lady Annabellum. The whole band? No, Hiller Scott. She went to DCA. That's right. That's a big one. Yeah, her. M.J. Garrett. He played at Vandy, receiver at Vandy, but is also on Real World Road Rules. When you were...

when you were, uh, the angel finger special, somebody said, MJ Garrett really let himself go. I thought that was a very, you know, big, uh, blonde, specific, very funny, but very specific. But yeah. Uh,

So, yeah, I'm trying to think if we... The woman that Ted Kennedy killed went to my high school. Oh, really? Yeah. In Alabama? Mm-hmm. Montgomery Catholic High School. Mary Jo Capetna or something her name. I think she was a teacher there. What was she doing? Just hanging out with the Kennedys, man. But wasn't that up in Rhode Island? That's risky. Yeah, Chappaquiddick. Yeah. Sleeping in the trunk. Just sleeping in the country, you know? Mm-hmm. Man, that's crazy. Yeah. Did y'all like... What, did y'all talk about it?

Yeah, we have a plaque for her. Did you? No. We have a statue of her in the courtyard. Mary Jo. Mary Jo. Oh, when that happened to Ted Kennedy, he lost his driver's license for 16 months is what that says. Okay, I'll be honest. I've never looked into this, but I've repeated this a lot. Oh, so it's not even true. There you go. Moved to Montgomery, Alabama. Okay. Yeah. There you go. Right there. Taught business. She taught typing at Montgomery Catholic High School.

Typing. That's how long ago this was. Typing class. How did she get involved with him? Ted Kennedy? Yeah. By 1963, years later, she moved to D.C. to work for a senator and then just got involved in that world. And then next thing you know. Next thing you know, you're driving in a convertible with Ted Kennedy. That's how it goes. Typing's not taught anymore?

I mean, it's, I think it's like, yeah, it's taught just by like your kid. I don't think it's ridiculous that you would even ask this. I mean, it's a funny question. No type. He's not taught anymore. Cause you type for everything. Now kids, kids learn how to type early. Well, he's typing. Good big taught in first grade.

Oh, maybe. You know what? I'm sorry I laughed at that. That's a pretty good question. I don't know if they teach it to young kids now. Sorry, shut up. Put that out for me, if you don't mind. Post that on my socials. So, but was there anybody... I think I had a joke about that. Did it make it in the special? Like, my daughter took typing. Or I took typing in seventh grade. Yeah. Yeah, you did. It was like, that's how late

They were teaching it to where now my daughter's been typing her whole life. I took it in ninth grade. Yeah. I almost failed it. Typing? I took it in high school. On a typewriter? Yeah. Like you had to do the chitch and bring it. Are you serious? I think so. I was on a computer. Mine might have been on a computer too. I don't know if it was a typewriter, but they would put a box over your hands.

And so you would have to be the type without looking. Now, I'll say the fact that y'all took classes for it, you probably have way better form than me because I never learned how to actually do it correctly. I didn't do well in the class.

Oh, okay. Mine was taught by a football coach who was probably hungover every day. Have you ever been typing really fast and think about the fact that you can do this without really thinking? Yeah. I actually have. Those people that compute jury in the courtroom. Oh, stenographers. That's crazy. Well, they're not using regular keyboards. They're using totally different. Oh, so it's pretty easy. Okay. Sorry. Yeah.

It turns out everybody can do it. Why would we not all just use their computers? No, but they're using, they look like this. Like shorthand, right? They look like this. So they're kind of like, if you watch them, they kind of look like they're galloping on it. Yeah. It's because it's using these predictive algorithms to get the work. It seems much harder. But I think once you learn how it works, it's great. It's a pretty dumb job.

Is that what you're getting at? No, no, not at all. I think it's amazing. You watch them, they just fly on those things. But people that do this probably didn't go to Notre Dame. Shut up. Come on. But you agree, though. You do agree that they... I don't know. I mean, it's a ridiculous thing to say, but also probably true. Ball State? Let's just say me and Dusty Bird graduated with a lot of stenography. I can't even say it.

Who was the most, then you have to be a friend of yours, most successful person from your high school? Like went on to some big thing.

Oh, I have no idea about that. Are you still friends with high school? Yeah. Guys from high school? I mean, I have some friends that married into some wealthy... Yeah. Yeah, I mean, people didn't... One of them was with Derek Mason, Jody Jones. He was a friend of our businesses. He runs a big dentist. He went to DCA, Jody Jones? Yeah, he ran a big dentist. My stepbrother told me he went to prison for two years. But I mean, there had to be more even...

More than I'm blanking on now. A lot of people have done very, very good. I have a teacher that says one guy worked for NASA. Maybe he went to the moon or whatever from my high school. I think you'd know if he went to the moon. They'd probably lead with that. I think there's been like 12 people that have ever... Yeah, that's pretty big. Hypothetically.

He just got to go. He goes, hey, that guy went to the moon. We all been to the moon. Hold on. Can you guess how many people have been to space? Shockingly low number. I just looked it up. I just went. I mean, of all time. Dusty would guess zero. Yeah. Of course. I might have just seen it. I don't know. I think I saw it too. Yeah, what is it? 600. I mean, less than 700 people. Oh, I thought that was high. I thought it was the 204 number. Oh, I was thinking 10,000 by now.

Well. But they're not counting like. I'm sorry. You got to keep the secret pretty small. Yeah, exactly. Because you can't just let everybody. People you can trust went to space. Yeah, okay. 10,000 people, you're like, it's going to get out. Yeah. That there's nothing up there. Yeah. But it's. That's not like Jeff Bezos. Did we ever talk about those astronauts that are supposedly in the space station that had their Christmas hats on?

Oh, no, we didn't know that. Like they'd been up there and they needed to get rescued, but somehow they posted pictures around Christmas with their Christmas hats on. I think maybe they brought them with them when they went up. Yeah. Maybe they had them there. Maybe if I were trapped there, I'd go, hey, how about not worry about the Christmas decorations and get me out of here? Are they still up there? I'm not really in the spirit of Christmas right now. Are they still up there? Yeah.

Isn't Elon Musk going to get them or something? Yeah, I think it's been pushed to March now. It's like, how about get me home? Hope they have their St. Patrick's Day out. It's not. They're taking other astronauts up there with them when they go, and they're not ready yet. How about like save a seat?

What do you mean? They're like, we still need more time up here? No, no, no. So they're going to sub them out with a new crew. Yeah, the people on Earth that are preparing to go, they're not ready yet. What do they got to do? They got to get down their... What do they do? Body fat? They get the body fat down 20%. They see them walk in, 36% body fat, they go, good. It may not be the people themselves. They don't look at chairs you think we have.

I think it's just the mission in general. Can you imagine moving into a space station that other two people had been trapped in for a year? You're like, oh, no, you got to clean this place up. They made themselves at home, too. Yeah. You can't open the door just to let the air out. There's no air in and out. But do you smell anything in space? Inside the thing there is, yeah. But when you do no gravity in there and you're floating, maybe is that how you kind of air it out?

Could you take your helmet off for a second in space? If you're floating in the thing. What do you mean take it off? What am I? If you're floating in the astronaut, in the spaceship, would that not take the air out? Because then you can also, can you take it where you can then just stand and D and put gravity inside that thing? But I guess once you get up there, there's no gravity.

They have gravity. They're just not... These are the questions NASA can't answer. Well, I guess I don't understand the question. That's a good answer for someone that doesn't... So, you got no gravity. So, once you go to space, you're floating, right? Okay, yeah. You're just floating around. You're flying. Yeah. Well, they fly inside the spaceship. Yeah. But if they were on the ground, they don't...

They stand in the spaceship. They sit. They don't float. On Earth? On Earth. Yeah. But when they get to the space, you're always having to float. Yeah. Gravity never comes into play.

So I'm saying, can you do something where you press a button and everything falls to the ground? No. Like add gravity to this thing. No, they can't do that. If you're floating... But how does the air not... So then, because air can't get in there, but gravity can get inside the...

Well, gravity is not like something that comes in through a leak in the space shuttle. Gravity is pretty finicky at times because balloons can float pretty good, but leaves get pulled down. Gravity, you know, it hits. It's selective about what it gets to. Who let the gravity in? Yeah. Like, is it...

Yeah, like one day do they go, they see a pinfall and they go, oh no. Like sometimes there's a butterfly. A butterfly just goes like this and it's just making its way. But a rock, I mean a rock is just hard. Yeah, that's something with zero air resistance and then something with all the air resistance. Or like a small leaf that lays on the ground. Yeah, it's all about air resistance. Gravity is...

It is. It'll get you if it wants to. It's holding the universe together, but it's pretty. It's always so. But I think when they show spaceships in movies and stuff, like a lot of times they are just walking around. They explain it, though they have gravity on this. I think that's just a workaround so they can shoot the movie. So, yeah, the people in space now, they haven't touched the ground with their full body weight in a year.

Yeah. That's why they take workout stuff to keep your muscles. But how is it no air? Well, they don't really. So, yeah, if you took your helmet off in space, right, you're gone immediately. Are you gone immediately or could you hold your breath for a little bit? Is it like underwater? I think you would freeze. A, the temperature and the radiation are going to kill you pretty quickly. Sorry to not be fun. How about you make it a fun answer? Could you hold your breath?

Is it like water? I guess. How cold is it? Is it real cold or is it real hot? Well, it depends on if you're in the path of the sun or not, I think. But I think it's cold. I think it's very cold. What if you're in between the sun and the earth? You'd think it'd be real hot. So how's it warm in the spaceship if it's so cold outside but air's not getting in but gravity somehow does get in? Yeah. Gravity doesn't.

You know what I mean? Like, how does it... How do you go from sitting in a chair and you can't float to when you go up? Now you float, but no air from there is getting in. But it is in. Yeah. Because you're floating. So something's got in. You're not closed off. Like, you know what I mean? Like, if you're in a metal ball that's completely closed and I put you...

And you're like, all right, your body has full body weight on the floor. You're laying on the floor. And then when you go to space, I start floating. Well, that means something has to get inside that metal ball to make that air float, right? Yeah.

No, it's because you are moving. If you went underwater, if you dropped a metal ball underwater, you wouldn't start, and you're in the metal ball, you wouldn't float. You would stay in the, because the water, even though the metal ball would float, you wouldn't start floating. Sure, sure. You walk around. Yeah. Because you're a submarine. Everybody's walking around. They're not floating. Right. But when they go to space, somehow that, whatever that is, gets inside the...

And everything inside of it floats. I know what you're saying. That's such a funny way to think about it. I've never heard of it. Whereas gravity gets into them. Maybe. It's like a little bit of gravity got in. Am I making any sense? We left the window open and the gravity got in. Maybe gravity didn't get in. It's not being let in is the thing. They've kept gravity out of them. That's what it is. It's like a force. There you go. I'm just getting word. My high school asked to get my name removed. Okay. Fair enough. Fair enough. There you go.

Well, yeah, you didn't name the science lab. I just got word. Yeah, it's now called not the neighbor. They still have my name, but it's now called not. Yeah. Okay. Cheaper to say not than erase it. That's right. Just paint in. Average temperature of deep space.

Negative 454 degrees Fahrenheit. What's deep, though? So pretty cold. What do they do? Shoot a thermostat just out in the thing and try to look at it with a binocular? What is deep space? We're talking about just a little bit of space. What's shallow space? Yeah. What did you say? The space behind Earth. Minus 270 degrees. The temperature of space behind Earth. So essentially the same as the average temperature of deep space. But we're all around Earth. All right.

So there's no air to transfer heat. That's why it's so cold. There's no atmosphere in space. That's what traps in the heat. So even you could be in between the earth and the sun, and because of no atmosphere, it's still cold. Technically closer to the sun. Yeah, is it windy? So it's not windy in space. No, it's not windy. There's no wind in space. Also, no sound in space. Something weird to think about. So you couldn't talk to someone.

You could talk to him inside the space shuttle where there's oxygen. What if you're both in spacesuits with some type of Bluetooth connection? Yeah, then you've got air in your helmet, and that's what transmits the sound. But you can't just yell in open space. It would have nothing to move through. Bounce off. Bounce off. That's right. The sound.

Okay. The building's back in your name. The building's... For that... Oh, yeah. The temperature of space directly in front of the sun...

can reach temperatures around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. I bet you can find a middle ground. Yeah. Back up, back up. Too fast, too fast. I bet you can find 72 degrees somewhere. You have to. I mean, really, Earth is in the perfect spot. I appreciate it. Yeah, yeah. Good spot to be in. Because you're in Djibouti. The entire universe really worked out perfectly. This room is not in a good spot. It did. Had none of it worked out that way, even just a little bit off, we would be decimated. Oh, yeah. Just a little bit off. It's all too perfect. Yeah. Yeah.

What's another high school thing? 2% of high school sweethearts get married. 2%? That's a pretty high number. Most of them don't last. Weren't your parents middle school? That's crazy. That's got to be less than 1%. Willie Geist. 2% is high school sweethearts. You're like, what, a little bit less? This surprised me.

You said 2% of high school sweethearts. You go, middle school, you go, that's got to be less than 1%. Yeah. That's quite a leap I took. Wow. Bold statement, I know. The state with the highest graduation rate. Hey, girl. I'm just trying to talk. I'm sorry. Sorry.

2%? That's got to be less than one. You can just try to hang out. The gravity of this moment. I don't know if that was a joke. The state with the highest graduation rate, West Virginia. Really? Highest high school graduation rate? Is that because that's as far as they go?

Boom. Tennessee second. Maybe a lower age. Oh, Tennessee second? Yeah. Did you sort this chart the correct way? I don't know. Search it and see if you find the same thing. Now I'm questioning myself. I was like, wow, that's interesting. I like that.

Maybe in West Virginia, it's like if you drop out of school, you got to go to work. Wow. West Virginia. Number one. That's crazy. Tennessee's two. Wow. Number 48 in education, but number one in high school graduation rate. We get it done. Well, look at Tennessee. We're 31. We get it done. We get out. Tennessee, 27 in best states overall. I'll take that. Middle of the pack. We're not trying to stand out. We're not trying to fall back. We're trying to be in the middle. Wisconsin. I wonder why. Does this just mean... So how do you square...

The number one high school graduation rate, but 48th in education. I don't think they teach everything. I think it's like if you drop out, you go work in a factory. Yeah, yeah. And they probably don't have all the classes. So we just do some of them. Yeah. And then the ones that are harder, like the number one ones. Maybe it's less people. Yeah, they're talking about everything. And you're like, oh. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting.

Yeah, 91% graduation rate. That's so high. That's nice. That's awesome for West Virginia. Yeah, good for them, man. Some of the highest dropout rates, California, New York, and New York. Highest dropout rates? They're two of the highest. Whoa. Wow. I looked up the top songs and movies from each of our graduation year. I think I sent those to you. Okay. Well, what's the best high school movie?

Or your favorite high school movie? I don't know. I think Breakfast Club. Breakfast Club, yeah. I'll say that. Both are great, though. Deadpoint Society. That's great. Two very different high schools. Friday Night Lights. Friday Night Lights is a high school movie. Yeah, for sure. What I told you about the movie, I've never seen the TV show. TV shows. I haven't either. Oh, yeah. So good. Yeah. A lot of the same actors are in it, too. It's kind of weird.

My era, Superbad, I think is like the best high school movie. Holds up weirdly well. Like nothing ages creepy about it like some of these other movies. Other than his drawing habit. Well, yeah. That was a little weird. But I like that movie too, though. Okay. But no, I just watched it recently. And I was like, jeez. I'm talking about most of the stuff like him with the girl at the party. It's very good, though. It's a very good movie. So 1990. Yeah.

Number one song on Billboard? Hold On by Wilson Phillips. You guys know that song? I don't know. Sing a little bit. It's from Bridesmaids. From Bridesmaids. I mean, it's not from Bridesmaids, but at the end of Bridesmaids. They sing at the end of Bridesmaids. Can you sing a little bit of it? Hold on, but hold on for one more day. Hold on. Yeah, I don't know it. Wow.

Now, during Nate's graduation, it was Candle in the Wind. It was something sad. Oh, that's because Princess Diana. That's a great song. Yeah, it's a great song. Elton John and then Jewel and then Puff Daddy.

How's he doing? I'll Be Missing You was a good one. Where's he at now? Oh, those are all hot songs. Man, Puff Daddy's on there. Unbreak My Heart. Puff Daddy and R. Kelly. It was a tough time for you, Nate. We don't know what they're doing now. I believe I can. Oh, that was a hot year. 2000. Can you guys, you know the number one song? 2000. There's no way. Faith Hill. Green Day. It's Faith Hill. Do you know the song? Breathe? Oh. Breathe. No.

Breathe in the Smooth by Santana. You gotta breathe. Oh, Santana had that, yeah, that big album. Oh, dude, Vertical Horizon. I haven't heard that name in a while. 2000, it seems like such a terrible year. 2010. My song...

I'm guessing Taylor Swift. Yeah. TikTok by Kesha. Kesha, yeah. Was that before TikTok got started? Yes. That was before the app. Head of her time. Lady Antebellum, number two. She went to DCA. How about that? I feel like that song just came out. What? It's 15 years old. What song? Need You Now. I hate that. I do hate that song, though.

Our song that we liked that I remember in my high school was Freshman. We were ever, forever. Oh, yeah. Whatever that song was. The Verve Pipe. The Verve Pipe. Whenever I hear that song, it takes me back to my senior year in high school. I feel like Green Day, the graduation song, was of my year I graduated. Titanic. Unbelievable year in movies for you, Nate. Good Will Hunting, Titanic. Yeah.

I mean, it drops off pretty good after that. I remember Men in Black. I would say Titanic was crazy. It's about as big as it can get. Yeah, that was like, people went to see that all the time. Like, it was a whole big thing, so...

I was going to say, when Hollywood 27 opened here, do you remember how that was a big deal? Yeah, yeah. It was like the biggest theater anywhere in the first movie. I think I went up the weekend. Gladiator. Good Will Hunting. Memento. Wow. Snatch. Reckoning for a Dream. Castaway. X-Men. American Psycho. Who is this? 2000. Another great year for movies. Is that when you graduated? No, that's when he graduated. Oh, graduated. Yeah, I was eight.

Yeah. You probably already watched all these movies. You're like, oh, I remember watching Gladiator at eight years old. Me and my family talked about it and then

Frost Nixon. Yeah. All the President's Men. Yeah. Didn't you say you bought your dad Frost Nixon or something? I did. I bought my dad Frost Nixon a DVD for Christmas, and then like four years later on our bookshelf, it still had the plastic on it. He told me he loves the movie. Yeah. Yeah.

That's a good dad, though. Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly. I'm not watching it. Yeah, I appreciate it. All right. What was yours? Oh, a movie? Yeah. 2010? Oh, let's look real quick. Real quick. I know everybody's waiting. Inception. Unbelievable movie. Oh, yeah. Saw it seven times in the theaters. Are you serious? Really?
