Grammarly. Easier said, done. Hello, folks. Welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. Welcome, folks. Hello, folks. I'm Nate Bargetti. Brian Bates. Aaron Weber. Welcome, you know. This is it. Aaron, you were it. Yeah, man. It felt good. It felt good. Yeah. We just lost him as an ad. Yeah.

What did you... We didn't sign up for this. They just crumble it up and they go, who is that? You're putting an ad on Aaron Lamb? They dropped us weeks ago. We're just letting you read it. Make you feel good. We're just giving you something. It contributes something. I appreciate it, guys. Yeah, welcome everybody. We're back here. We're in it.

Doing it. Trying to think. I mean, I guess we have... Yeah, I was on the road. Everybody's on the road. No? I was at Nissan Stadium. Oh, yeah. Titans. Man. It's pretty frustrating. They all hurt, but this one really hurt. This really hurt. It really... I was like trying to...

Think about, I was almost thinking, well, if I was a Packers fan, it would hurt worse. I was trying to make myself feel better. And you're like, well, if you're the Packers, I mean, that's brutal. Brutal. Because you don't know if he's even coming back, Aaron Rodgers. So I was trying to be like, well, at least we're one less than that. But I mean, it's tough. It hurts. I try to tell myself that, too.

I've had season tickets ever since they've been there. Yeah. And I think this is our last year. Oh, yeah. Just because I'm on the road so much. I miss a lot of games. Now we're having a baby. When I am home, I probably shouldn't be at a game. Yeah. And getting sworn by fans at your seats. Yeah. It's become a big issue. It's become a big problem. Those seats are going in there. People are noticing those pop open.

I got a lot of who days comments sent to me and stuff from people, either fans or people just messing with me. Yeah. I don't really like that. Yeah. The bingles. Kind of mean. Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, uh, yeah, there was a, I saw some, I got some of those. I mean, it was,

It was crazy. The playoffs were unreal. Yesterday was two of the greatest games I've ever seen in my life. Every game was great. Every game was unreal. The first three all ended the exact same way. Four seconds left. Full goal to end the game. Can I ask you all? I have a sports theory question. Icing a kicker. Everybody does it. Happened in the Titans game. Icing a kicker. If there's a last-second field goal, you call a timeout, evidently just to get in their head and make them think about it.

But it happens so often now. Couldn't you ice the kicker by not icing him? You know what I mean? If you're expecting a timeout. Yeah, I agree. I think you would do that. But didn't the Titans have one timeout left? Mm-hmm. So in a way, they kind of maybe did do that. He's thinking, are they going to call it or not? I don't think you can call back-to-back timeouts like that, though. Oh, I thought you could. I think mentally, they're...

You know, they're not children out there and they're a professional athlete. I agree. But I mean, I agree that you could try to mix something up and be like, all right, what if we do? What if we don't? I do think that.

But it's, you know, but I also think they can, they know how to focus. Especially that guy is so good. That guy's unbelievable. The Bengals kicker. Yeah. There's a lot of talk now about the overtime rule after the way the Bills game ended. I was, I threw this out on social media a few weeks ago. No one replied. No one cared. But now I'm throwing it to you guys. There's 10 minutes in an NFL overtime game. What happens if a team puts together a 10 minute drive that ends in a field goal with no time left? What do you do then?

I don't know. I think that's a ball game, right? Probably, because it's the end of the game. So if you took the time away... But the rule is, if you only kick a field goal, the other team gets a possession. You're guaranteed another possession, so they get an untimed possession, maybe? But then that's... Even untimed doesn't seem fair. Yeah, then they have an advantage. Interesting. I don't know. I could see why you didn't get a lot of responses the first time. The Titans had an over 10-minute drive...

earlier this season that Indiana Phil go. Oh, okay. During the game. So it's possible. Yeah. I mean, it rarely happens, but it does happen. Yeah. I don't know. It's for an NFL podcast. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. I don't even know where to go after that. You know? Well, it, it hurt. Yeah. You didn't look it up to see. I tried to, and I couldn't find, and I,

Are you talking about the overtime thing? And I tweeted it to a couple of Titan sports writers, and they never replied. Yeah. I don't think anyone knows. Yeah. No one wants to answer it. Yeah. I've stopped everyone. Yeah. That is true. What if you found something that no one knows? You found a loophole. Yeah. You found a loophole that Roger DeGelde is like, we got to shut this guy up. You know? I just disappeared. Yeah. Yeah. Like Newman with that bucket over my head. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Don't ask these questions. You already got your Preds. You already switched. I've already got to move on. Yeah. I was like, because I already prepared to wear my new Titans. Yeah. And I was like, all right. Got to wear Preds. Got to wear Preds now. When we were leaving the stadium, somebody started chanting, let's go Predators. Yeah. Yeah. That's funny. Yeah. Yeah. Preds are doing great. Yeah. Got to move on. Yeah. Well, I hope if you're a Bengals fan, then congratulations. I am pulling for the Bengals now. I have a hard, I don't know who. I wanted Tom Brady.

got a rod in here. I was like, that was brutal. So, but that's gone. And so, yeah, I don't know. I don't mind Matthew Stafford. I kind of root for him a little bit. Yeah. Uh, being, yeah, I don't know. I try to think like who, it's not as like crazy. Uh,

You have close friends, Dan Soder, 49ers. Yeah, I have Niners with Soder. Eric Stonestreet. Eric Stonestreet, Chiefs. Chiefs are winning, though. They're dominant, so it's hard to kind of be like – it's hard to – when your team's not in, it's hard to throw to your buddy's team that's like, well, you're the best team. I agree. So Soder with the Niners. I know how excited he was. Mm-hmm.

So that's very cool. So I'm rooting for him. I just hope the games are good. That's how I feel. There's a tremendous amount of relief now. Yeah. I can just enjoy the games. Yeah. Everyone says that winner of the Bills, Chiefs, will kill the Bengals. Yeah. And maybe that'll happen, but if you're a Bengals fan,

That game, Bill's Chiefs, exactly what you want. Yeah. Just knockout, dragout, overtime. Everyone's calling it the greatest game ever. It's almost like a Super Bowl. And then, you know, now they've got to regroup. Yeah, I mean, it was an unbelievable – I mean, watching it. Like, we were – it just – it couldn't even – I don't know. It's the craziest game I've ever seen. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Sports section. Sports section.

We'll be right back with, that's what we kept doing. Mike Vecchione, Greg Stone, they have a podcast, Macaroni Rascals, I believe. But I think it's Greg on their podcast, so we would do it on the bus. It's very funny. He goes, all right, we'll be back with Third Eye Blind. But he'd do it like if anybody's saying anything, he'd just go like, oh, that's interesting. All right, everybody, we'll be right back with Third Eye Blind or something like that.

It was fun here on the bus. Sam Hoffman, the smartest guy on the podcast, thinks corn grows on trees. The nicest comedian in the world relentlessly makes fun of Brent's health and well-being. Brent gives all the listeners information on viewing an asteroid that had passed before the podcast even aired.

Everyone decides that now, 82 weeks in, is a good time to switch up the format of the podcast to change the structure to aimless rambling and then complaining about the aimless rambling. And then top it all off, make it a story about a story that someone else told about Leonardo DiCaprio on a different podcast. What a show, folks. That is when you break it down like that. And I mean, I just went in. I just did something that was else on another podcast. Well, we're back to the old format, so I hope you're happy. That didn't last long. It's a very good summary.

In my head, it made sense. It was like, I think universe scared me for some reason, the universe episode. Like, it felt very like, what are we doing? Mm-hmm. You know? It was literally the broadest topic possible. The broadest. And then maybe I don't want everybody to know how dumb I am. Yeah. So it's like, sometimes you're like, well. That cat might be out of that bag. Yeah. Yeah.

It could be, but we're back. We're back. We're back folks. Uh, back to the 82 weeks in, you know, you just always see what happens. That's what you're never going to get here. Someone suggested that they're like, change the format every week. Yeah. We just like to watch the train, right? Yeah. Yeah. Silver hair thrifter. I am Canadian and it's pronounced toque as in fluke, toque, fluke. A toque is something else involving cannabis.

We really doubled down on freaking Canadians out. First, we call it a toboggan, and they lost their mind. Yeah. And then we try to correct it and call it toke. I don't know if we've ever gotten more comments from people letting us know. Yeah, toke. Toke. Now, in my defense, I even looked this up ahead of time. I went to Merriam-Webster Dictionary online, and they pronounced it toke. Yeah. Yeah.

But I guess that's one of the things that's changed. Well, what do they know? Just a dictionary. It's spelled T-O. They don't do Canada's. Do they do just America's? Dictionary? Does Canada have its own dictionary?

Maybe. Who is the dictionary? Merriam-Webster? Yeah. Is that a person? I think it's probably two. Yeah. Merriam and Webster? I think so. Yeah, Daniel Webster is one guy. I know that's a real person. I don't know who Merriam is. And they made the... Could you look that up? They just decided, they just got together. And they said, I'm going to do a dictionary. Like, it is. Who decides it? It's all arbitrary. Yeah, it's Canada. Like, well, we got our own, you know?

I'm sure they got tired by the time they got to toke. They go, I don't care. I bet I could see them both in there. And he goes, all right, we're on. He goes, all right, T-O-Q-E. He's writing the dictionary down. He goes, the Webster, he goes, what are you going to say? He goes, I don't toke. How long is this? He goes, well, we're only on T. We have a lot left. They're having to do it every word. And then maybe he said, you sure it's not toke? He goes, I don't.

I don't care at all. At this point, we're in the T's. We're in the T's. Toke. Put whatever you want. He goes, all right, man. You want to call a Canadian? And he goes, I don't want anybody involved. I should never agree to this. Are we making money from this? Or like, I don't even. It was fun when we were on scene. Now we're in T. This is ridiculous. It was founded by George Merriam.

Back in 1831, he's like, let's get a dictionary going. No, we need a dictionary. Can you imagine just, you can't tell if it's like his life that easy, you know, his life that, not easy, uncomplicated, that when you got ideas, you go, you know what? We should put all the words together in a book. And someone goes, that's a good idea. Nobody ever thought to do that. No one ever thought to put all the words in a book. Like now, you got to think of like the craziest stuff in the world to be different. Mm-hmm.

And then it was like, what if we did, what if we just said all the words? And you'd have to define them, each one. Yeah. What does that mean? What does that mean? Yeah. I get, how do they do it? I guess they just. They take turns. Yeah. Your turn, Webster. Yeah. How would they have done it? Yeah. So Webster, this is Noah Webster. My bad. Not Daniel Webster. Oh. I imagine they're in the same family though. Hmm.

He learned 26 languages. He hoped to standardize American speech since Americans in different parts of the country use somewhat different vocabularies and spelled, pronounced, and used words differently. So I imagine this was a nightmare. Every part of the country spelling words different. And he's like, let's just all get on the same page here. And this guy kind of came in. We just went with this guy. Now, a chef's hat is also spelled T-O-Q-U-E, and I think that is pronounced Toke. A chef's hat in Canada or here?

Well, I thought everywhere, but here. So it was spelled T-O-Q-U-E. And in my head, I think that could be toke or it can be toke. And I should have known, since it's Canadian, it would be the more ridiculous sounding of the two. So my bad. Well, that'll help. A lot of people tried to explain it to us by saying it's like two with a K on the end. Yeah. So I so wanted just to mess with them one more week. Okay, so it's 2K. 2K, yeah.

They just call it 2K the whole show. NBA 2K. So it's Tuk. Webster, Merriam. Yeah, I mean, there's no other dictionary either, is there? I think there are some others. This is the gold standard, though. Yeah. I mean, you can just make your own. If there's others, then we'll do an 8-land dictionary. We can. Just straight up copy that. What's stopping us? I don't know. Let's do it. We just have our own. So what's Britannica? Is that encyclopedias? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, they bought Merriam-Webster. They own it. Oh, they do? Yeah, they have a monopoly on knowledge. Oh. And then they were like, well, what do you do? They go, we talk about them. We just talk about stuff a lot longer. Is that what they said? He go, you say what a boat is. We're like, we got a story about a boat. We dive in. Yeah, we get, it's a whole thing. You're like, oh, okay, that's cool, man. That's all there is, right?

Is that what it's like? Yeah. Longer dictionary. They get into it. They get into it. Yeah. Explains what things are. Yeah. All right. Travis White. The fact that Aaron said Tony Robbins instead of Tim Robbins as the actor in Shawshank Redemption is absolutely phenomenal. Could you imagine what a different movie that would have been if Tony Robbins was cast in that movie? Wow.

Wow. It would have been somehow even more inspirational. I didn't even care because that was the first one you mentioned of people you wanted to meet. So I really just thought you were a big Tony Robbins fan. I think I thought I was thinking Tony Robbins when you said it. Yeah. And then I just never paid attention after that.

I heard you were Shawshank and I didn't like it. Yeah, I did too. You said Tony Robbins, Morgan Freeman, and then the Warden. Right. And I didn't catch all you were trying to say, Tim Robbins. Well, in fairness, those are the only two Robbins ever. So it's a pretty easy mix up, I think. Marty Robbins. You should say. No, that's what I meant. I meant Tony Robbins and Morgan Freeman.

And then Morgan and Tim show up and you go, no, no, no, no, no, no. I wanted Tony. And they go, are you sure? I mean, we thought for sure you just messed up. And you go, I said Tony Robbins, didn't I? The warden can stay. Yeah. Bob Gunton. Another one that people get furious. Never seen Shawshank. Yeah. Yeah. We've talked about that. Oh, yeah. All right. Still haven't. I need to watch it. I'll watch it. I'll watch it in one of my night movies. Yeah. I'm going back to Sopranos right now. Started doing that again.

You can read the book, Shawshank Redemption book. Oh. It's a novella. It's like 30 pages. You can knock it out. Really? Yeah. What's a novella? Like a short novel. Stephen King. Stephen King put out four novellas at once. It was Stand By Me was one of them. Shawshank Redemption was another one. And there were two others that had been made into movies too. And they weren't horror either? Because most of these are horror movies.

No, somebody was like, I read somewhere, somebody was like, you can only write horror books. And he was like, no, I can do other stuff. And he wrote those, which are like two of the greatest movies ever came out of it. Pretty crazy. Why don't they just do more books like that if it works out so well? Short books. I mean. Yeah.

I mean, it's 50% is going to be the greatest thing that people talk about for the history of ever. So why would they not just be like, I mean, we've got a pretty good thing going here with these short books. Yeah. Put out four and two of them could be great. Yeah. Instead of one long, boring one. Drags on and on. Ross Christensen. Oh, there you go. Yeah. Ross Christensen. You're proud of yourself. Well, I stopped. I stopped and looked around before I got to the end of that.

Can we officially drop Aaron's moniker as the smart one? He had to ask Beanstalk what blood pressure is, and he had no idea that corn is harvested completely with the stalk. He also referred to the Field of Dreams town as Dyersburg instead of Dyersville. There's a helpful saying in the Midwest, a good corn crop should be knee-high by the 4th of July. This is likely why they play the Field of Dreams game in August, not in February. Yeah, see, this is one of those things, Ross. I feel like...

You're talking a lot of smack here, but if Ross were cornered and somebody said, what is blood pressure? Do you think this guy could explain very well what blood pressure is? Pressure of the blood. And then I would think the person asking would go, okay, I guess that's right.

It's kind of what happened last week. Yeah. You asked me? I think that blood pressure break feels like one that you just say the word back to them and then they go, yeah, like I said. Kind of self-descriptive, I guess. You know, you press the blood. It's the blood. It's the pressure of the blood. And then you go, okay. Also, corn, not a big part of my life.

But a lot of people pointed out you went to Notre Dame, you drove past it. We didn't have corn at Notre Dame. To even get to Notre Dame, I just think you would know stuff like this, though. Did you always just fly there? No, I drove there every time. Is it there and back? What if it's because you just come from such a high net family that y'all don't even – Yeah.

Y'all would never even talk about what the people... Right. The people are the ones that are doing the corn. That's what the peasants are doing. The peasants are doing. You're eating the... You're like, I don't... I'm sorry I've never seen it grown. I can tell you... It gets brought to my table by a servant. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah. The Weber. Filled. You have your own filled the dreams. There's a helpful saying in the Midwest, a good corn crop. You're like, yeah, oh, well, my guy that worked for me, yeah, he loved that saying. I never...

I never heard it. Mandy McKnight. If that was a competition to see who should read ads, Aaron came in first place. Lots of enthusiasm. There we go. Yeah. That feels good.

Yeah, good job. Congrats. Justin Ratliff. Almost got choked at Nate's reaction to Brian talking about getting kicked at the water fountain. You could tell he thought everyone had the same experience growing up. I'm dying at the idea that the water fountain was like the Wild West for Brian. The Wild West for Brian. That is very, like, just...

You just like, you're holding off your thirst of going like, I don't know if I should do it today. Someone pointed out that Gary Goldman has a joke in one of his specials about getting kicked at the water fountain. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, that's funny. We're about the same age, so I guess it was an 80s thing. Yeah. Y'all just got kicked. You were just in the last big run of water fountains. I guess I used water fountains a lot too, but you were...

I could see when I was using water fountains, I could see them being on their way out. You were in the thick of it. Yeah. I don't think water fountains are out. I mean, no one's really using them now. Yeah. They don't use them at schools? We're saying is y'all are probably impressed by the technology still.

I think that's how y'all got water. I mean, you were getting it from a well. Like, I think it was like, yeah, it was like science. My family did. Yeah. Your family got water from a well? We didn't have city water growing up. Are you kidding me? Out in the country. Yeah. And so we had a well. And sometimes, like in the summertime, if it was a real drought, we wouldn't flush every time. Oh, wow. Yeah.

Did you ever have to go out there and crank it up and get some water? No. I mean, it flowed just like normal through your pipes, but it came from a well. Yeah. And my mom would fill up water jugs at work of good drinking water so we wouldn't have to drink it. I mean, yeah, that's what you're definitely getting kicked at the water. I mean, like you're probably looking at it too long. Yeah. You're so blown away by it. Fresh water. Yeah.

Mama, today at school, you turn this knob and this water comes out. I swear. I ain't never seen nothing like that. Look at this. Yeah.

Izzy Warts. I now think Nate may have ADHD, not dyslexia. Oh, man. Both. I say this after him talking about the way he has trouble retaining what he sees in movies or shows. As someone with ADHD, I started putting the pieces together from my own experiences.

particularly the way he will lose interest in lots of topics he's not directly interested in. But I think the way he talks could just be because his brain and mouth are not working at the same speed. It's something I experienced and was even sent to speech therapy for as a child. Wow. Look at that. That could be, so now I have no dyslexia. Which would you rather it be if you had to pick? I don't know. Is it all just a wash now? Yeah, it's all- Maybe you have seen Shawshank. Maybe. You watched it last night? There's been-

Yeah. You know what's funny is I was with, I was talking about the ADHD with Julian McCullough, who's with me this week, who's with me this past weekend. But we were talking about it. It's like, yeah, it's like how you like, you get, it is like your brain's faster than you actually can say. So when I'm reading, I'm reading super fast within my mouth. I can see it. You start and stop a lot of sentences. Yeah. So, because you're thinking ahead to the next thing, the next thing. Yeah. Yeah.

So what do you do? Nothing. Just deal with it. Well, you're a genius, maybe. Maybe. Your mouth's not. My mouth is like, every day it's like, sits in the bed, just tired, just hoping, just wants a break. And then I just lay in bed, can't go to sleep. My brain's like, I got a good idea. My mouth is like, go to bed.

I'm a family physician. Dr. Bernard Elpidis. Elpidis. Elpidis, maybe? Yeah. Elpidis. I'm a family physician. Triage is a medical term to assign urgency to patients. For example, a patient with chest pain will take priority over a patient with a runny nose. I like that Nate thought it meant the third time coming in. That actually makes sense. Did I say that? Yeah. Triage. Here we go again.

Every time he comes in. Got a triage. This guy won't leave. Jake Craft. I completely understand the level of anger Nate felt while watching that Hallmark movie. I got so irrationally mad at Nate's inability to understand the Taco Bell membership that

You would not be required to only order one taco at a time. You would be able to go and add one free taco to whatever else you were ordering. For instance, I like to order number six with a large Baja Blast and also the free taco that my membership allows me to get. The way he is only able to understand this is I'm only allowed to order one taco is baffling to me. I would expect more out of a fast food aficionado such as yourself. I think I gave up on some of those in the middle. Aficionado.

Aficionado? Aficionado. Oh, that's right. Yeah, I think I kind of meant, what are you saying? Maybe it wasn't coming out again. I think we have ADHD and not dyslexia. We just found out from Izzy. So I think I'm ahead of the game, Jake. Yeah, I don't remember that being your understanding of it. Yeah, I think you got it. Yeah, it wasn't like you can go in. That would be very funny.

It would be hilarious if you go, I'm starving. I would like one taco. Then you have to go stand at the end of the line. You come back, I'll take a number six with Baja Blast. Like that would be, I would do it because that's hilarious. The Taco Bell made you do that. How much is a taco? I think it's got to be a dollar. A dollar. A dollar forty. If that. You'd have to eat ten. Ten times. Ten times. It makes, it's not a good, it's not a good system. I agree. That doesn't make sense. One free, you're, you're just, you're time alone. I mean, I'm saying unless you are,

You go, I eat Taco Bell every day. And then it's going to save you. If you would have to get a free taco every day. So 30 days, you'd have to get a free taco. And then it'd be where it'd save you 20 some dollars, maybe 30 some dollars. So would you pay the 30 bucks just to, you know, $10 a month? Yeah. Yeah. So we have like, yes, you're saving 20. Yeah. 20 bucks. So like, are you going to,

Is it worth saving 20 bucks to have to go eat taco to make sure like... A couple of people suggested just buy one and give it to the homeless and then every day they go in there and get a taco. That's not bad. I don't think Taco Bell, that's what they're hoping for. No, but...

That's a good idea. In your face, Taco Bell. Yeah. Here's a free... That's not a bad idea. Here you go. Here's a free thing. You can get a free taco every day. Yeah. One free taco. You're giving them a fishing pole instead of a fish. Yeah. That's right. Yeah. I don't know how. Because you're not teaching them. That's what you're saying. Yeah. Right? That's what I'm saying. You're giving them a... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you're doing the opposite. What are you talking about? I think getting them a job at Taco Bell would be the fishing pole. I think you're just getting them a free taco every day is...

You're basically like, come here every day. I'll give you a fish. You're giving them the means to have a meal every day. That's what you're doing. I know. The one taco every day. It's not a good fishing pole, but it'll- That's not a fishing pole. I think it is, man. You're giving them the fish. I'm giving them a fish every day. Hey, come right here to this bank. I catch fish every day. I'll give you a fish to eat.

And then he goes, okay. And then the point of it is to be efficient. It was like the means to like, then go get, it's not like he goes, you know, I started getting this free taco. Now I work for wall street and I really just snowballed from there. Like it wouldn't, that's getting, you know, unless you're go there so often that they're like, what if you work here? Maybe that's the, you know, Taco Bell goes, you know, I see you in here every day. Dorito Locos taco.

And they're like, why don't you just work for us? And they're like, why would I? I get free food. I already have a fishing pole, dude. My employee discount is not even as good as this. But if he works there, then he gets a job and he probably gets a free meal. And then he goes, when he gets his employee free meal, I'll also take one extra taco. That's a fishing pole. The job. The job. Okay. That's fair. Yeah.

I want to give an update on another thing from last week. The woman on Jeopardy, she's now tied for second. Oh, nice. 38 wins. What's his name? Ken Jennings, 74. But one of the previous winners wrote an op-ed this week, kind of controversial. He says you should go back to the old rules where after five wins, you're out.

That was, I guess, the way they used to do it. Oh, really? Because he says it's such an unfair advantage once you're on there a few times to the winner because you're really nervous the first time. You don't know how the buzzer works. He said it's just so much advantage once you're on the show a few times. It's not fair that somebody's been on there 30 times. Somebody else is on there the first time. So he thinks he needs to, after five weeks, move on. That's soft. So what did Ken Jennings do?

Did he have to leave? He didn't have to leave. He finally lost after 74 weeks. Yeah. So they're saying even like Kenny Jennings shouldn't have that record. Yeah. The guy just said, once you get to a certain amount of wins, it's so unfair for that person because they're so much more comfortable on set than the two people that the show would be better. He said, after five wins, let's just start over. That's just someone writing an article for nothing. I mean, like, it's just...

It's the only time anybody cares about Jeopardy is when somebody's on a streak like this. That's what we need to go back to, like people making dictionaries. Like that was a time where like he was at least bringing like people just write stuff now. That's like they write, you know, like, what are you? I think this was in the Atlantic. But like why? Well, the Linux was very nice to me. But the nicest comedian. And I'm making fun of him now. Well, I didn't agree with that article either. So, yeah, I don't like anything that let it grow.

But it's, yeah, I don't know. It's like almost you just, yeah, I don't know. Anyway, she's halfway there to catch Ken Jennings. But he shouldn't be doing it. Back to five wins. Why would you write the article about Ken Jennings, though? Like, why would you not? I guess he didn't think about it. I think he was the first really streaky winner. But now they've had a bunch of people that have won over really long streaks. And the guy who wrote it said, Jeopardy's not as good this way.

Yeah, but it doesn't – but, I mean, how many streaks have we had in the fact that it's been – she's not – I mean, she's not even – she's almost half or she's a little above half. She's at 38, so she – yeah, she's basically at half. So, like, I mean, she's still got a long way to go. Yeah. Yeah.

So if they can't do it, then you're like, well, like it would be one thing if they're, if it's all like 38, 40 and like everybody's kind of doing it. Other than that, they're like, people are not doing it. I think more people will watch a streak than they will go into watch Jeopardy every day. Yeah. I think you're more, we're talking about Jeopardy now versus if you don't have this happen, you could be like, oh, then I thought Jeopardy was off the air. Right.

Didn't he die? Alex, like, so who's doing it now? Ken Jennings and Blossom, because I can't ever say her name. Oh. We're like splitting it up. Yeah. Okay. So, yeah. You need this streak. You know, the show would be gone, I think. Yeah. I think Jeopardy's been doing really well for a long time.

I don't think they need you to. Alex Trebek. I know, but Alex Trebek is the, you know, it's like these shows do well for a long time with like, they have a person there. That's true. That's like been there forever. Like it's, it's, that's why they're, you know what it is. Yeah. It's the shows. It's a simple idea. You can have it on every day. I'm not making fun of Jeopardy. Yeah. But I think the streak gets you talking about it. I don't think we'd be talking about it. That's true. Yeah. We're saying they're doing it right.

I know, but you guys are saying that this show needs it. And I'm like, well, Jeopardy's been doing pretty well for a long time. Because of things like this. Yeah. But they haven't been – I think the majority of Jeopardy's run probably has been five wins and you're out. Yeah.

But that was so long ago that Ken Jennings, I mean, how long ago was the Ken Jennings thing? 20 years ago? Close to it. So for 20 years, they haven't been doing it. So, I mean, how long were they doing the five wins before? 15 years? Like, I mean, they probably done the other way more than the other. Like, it's being like, they've changed this rule for a reason.

And then now it's being like, well, now the second person, it's like, well, what if we do go back to the old way? The old way might be a year we did it like that. Yeah. I think the guy who wrote the article was the one that had to get out after five weeks. So maybe he's just bitter. Is it? I think. I mean, this is all.

This is all coming together. I may be wrong about that, but I think it was. That's unbelievable if that's the case. He goes, why do you even care so much, man? He's like, well, I had to get off. And I don't think that was fair. And you're like, oh. I'd still be on there 30 years later. You go, okay. Okay. Now we're getting... Now the article makes complete sense. And I'm actually on board with this guy writing it. All right. The Long Spring.

How do we even get into all that stuff after Taco Bell? Well, I was updating stuff that I shared last week. Oh, yeah. I was trying to figure out where we were in the comments. I'm like, Taco Bell to Jeopardy. The long spring. My sister got in trouble in elementary school for wearing a t-shirt that said, I'm from Dubuque and I'll party till I puke. Dubuque and I'll party till I puke. The teacher said that she was wearing a Saturday shirt and made her turn it inside out. A Saturday shirt. I love that. It's a good way to describe it.

But I love that they party so much in Dubuque. You're like, the shirt's fine. I'm from Dubuque. That's a Saturday. And I'll party until I puke. Yeah. I could see it being a Saturday. All right. Yeah, it's a weekend shirt. Yeah. You can tell me. I just think it's a funny way for a teacher to describe it. I think it's about the best way you could say it. I would think it's a teacher that's like, I get it. Yeah. And I'm not saying don't wear it. Listen, I got the same shirt at home. Yeah, I got the same shirt at home. This is Tuesday. This is Tuesday. It's not a Saturday shirt. Yeah.

Justin Schultz, regional terms are interesting. I moved one state over from Minnesota to Wisconsin when I was 14. I had to change pop to soda and drinking fountain to bubbler. As a 14-year-old, me needed to give my classmates more reasons to pick on me. I already had thick Coke bottle glasses. So, oh, yeah, because he's like, I need to change it or I'm going to get more made fun of. Yeah.

Tracy Thielman, Thielman, Thielman, T-H-E-I-L, man. I'm an English teacher in New York. And one of my favorite lessons is one I do on dialect as a literary technique. We go through color-coded maps about the different terms people use for various things throughout the country.

Even within my class of small town central New York, students there are fun disagreements. When we get to bubbler versus water fountain, it always makes my 11th graders laugh. I can now add toboggan versus beanie to the list. Thanks for the laughs and smiles every week. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of people. People like the. Like the talk. Yeah. Which I think that's what we're going to be talking about. Yep. Yes, sir. So there we go.

So this week, yeah, we're going to talk about people like... I'm going to take Canadian. Yeah, there you go. I mean, when did you think of that? Well, right now. You thought that joke right there or like how much longer before? While he was reading. Oh, I was hoping at least it was right now. The fact that you said on it.

I liked it. I'm going to take American. Like, I don't, you know. Well, Canadian because we keep saying their words wrong. Yeah. And they've been threatening us. That's why. You said to take the one that was a little scared of. Right now, I'm scared of the Canadians. Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. Back his way. Yeah. It was a good joke in the 80s. He still works now. Still relevant now. Yeah. The jerk store called Nate. They're running out of you.

So we are going to talk about it. All right. Do you have those words? Oh, yeah. How do you pronounce this? Oh, yeah. We've got them up here. I want to hear how you guys pronounce these four words on the screen. Should we spell them for the listeners first? A-U-N-T. We'll just... Ant. Grocery. Caramel. No caramel. Mayonnaise. All right. So three out of those four, you said them like most Southerners pronounce them. Yeah. One of those you did not pronounce.

Which one do I think? Caramel? No, that's the way most Southerners say it. Aunt? The South and Upper East Coast have three syllables in caramel. The rest of the country says caramel. Caramel? Two syllables. Caramel? Yeah. Oh. Did you say those the same way? Aunt, grocery, caramel.

So you said one of those different than him. Yeah. What was that? Caramel? The second one. Grocery. Grocery. You said grocery. Grocery. It's a grocery store, right? Well, some parts of the country, like the Northeast, New England, say grocery, like you said it. Yeah. And we say it usually grocery. Grocery? Yeah. Like a- Like CH? Or SH? SH. Grocery? The grocery store. Grocery. Grocery store. Grocery.

Grocery. Grocery. Yeah. Yeah. Mayonnaise. You said mayonnaise, right? It's a pretty good episode. I think it's good. It's good. We're three minutes in. Wow. This is how I thought we could start it. Yeah. Your first joke is like when you open with a... I don't want something that murders. All right. All right. I'll do it.

I thought this would be a good way to get into it. I may be wrong now. The South and Midwest say mayonnaise with two syllables. Mayonnaise? Mayonnaise? Yeah. But the West and Northeast say it with three syllables. Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise. Say mayo. How do you say L-A-W-Y-E-R? L-A-W-Y. Lawyer. Is that how you say it? Lawyer. Most of the country says lawyer. Lawyer. Yep.

Well, that's why I say Laura. So Laura, a lot of people say Laura to her, and it's Laura, L-A-U-R-A. It's still spelled Laura, though, right? Yeah, but she says it Laura. So a lot of people say Laura. It's Laura. There's an online test.

where you can the new york times is online test where you can answer 25 questions and it will tell you what part of the country you're from yeah and it i did it it gives you three cities that you're probably from it was columbus georgia chattanooga or nashville oh really wow ruth did it now she lived the first 10 years of her life in connecticut pennsylvania the next 10 or 12 in california

Then she was in D.C. for eight, and now she's been in Nashville for like 12. So it was really confused about her. Yeah. But it still put her most likely in Northern California, which is where she went to college. She says stuff differently. Like what do you call it? She's educated. She is educated. Educated probably throws you out of the South. But she's lived in – Like it's like if you go to – I would think, you know, like they're not going to be – they might – you say stuff proper. Like you talk – you got to talk to people that like –

Yeah, you're right. All right. Yeah. I think I still – I think I'm still pretty Southern, though, the way I speak sometimes. We'd have a well at my house growing up, but I – Yeah, there was one question I answered. You did, but y'all did a science project. To see how people look like a mission trip. Yeah, I went to Lebanon, Tennessee, and said, sir, can I help you with some of that? You go, well, boy, come on over here.

You said it like we say it. It's usually three syllables, Lebanon, but we say Lebanon. Lebanon. Yeah. What would you call the road that you drive? What do you call I-40? Interstate. It's interstate. It's what the I stands for. Yep. But a lot of people like West Coast. Yeah. Freeway. Yeah. But it's, yeah. Freeway. But it's so interstate. I always hit that. I'll change that. That's the one that you change. I'll sometimes change in my act.

If I think I'm, I'll just say freeway. For some reason, I'll just think like, well, if it, not that it really matters, but if you're like, if the joke doesn't really, I don't really care about that word. And I just want to make sure you can picture what I'm picturing. Yeah. So I'll say whatever word I need. I need, I want you to hear. So if I think you think, I think if you think freeway,

And I've actually thought about interstate and highway. I don't know if I even say freeway. I might say highway. Yeah. And then I'll think about that. I'm like, well, highway might be a smaller. Technically it is. Yeah. So then I'm like, so I need to probably go back to interstate. And I think I went back to interstate. But I'm just picking the word that when I'm just trying to make you picture it. So the word doesn't really matter.

I just need you to... You're just painting the picture. I'm just painting the picture. So whatever makes you... It might not be the word that I say, but whatever word helps this. Have you done a lot of stand-up in Canada? Yeah. How much do you have to... None. Really? I mean, that's like everywhere. I think that's the biggest mistake we make is to adjust...

If you're doing a show there and people are there to see you, they know, like, they're not dumb. People, like, get it. And it's not saying that they're, like, everybody kind of has that feeling. I think there's a feeling with that everywhere. Everybody thinks everybody's dumb. So they think no one's going to know anything. And I'm saying, I think Canada will feel that if they come here. We all, like, have that feeling. I think it's probably one of the big problems in the world right now is everybody assumes everybody except them is dumb. Yeah.

And you're going to go, actually, everybody's actually very, very smart and people are not dumb. And majority of the world, we can wrap our head around what's going on. And so if I'm laughing at your jokes, go and do your jokes. I'm here. I'm not going like, what is that? I don't know.

What is a Walmart? You don't have like a gas station. What's a gas station? And then you have to walk out because you're like, I didn't get any of it. Like if they're there, just assume they're, I always assume my audience is smarter than me. So, I mean, the only thing I could even where I, if I'm doing anything is to make sure the picture gets painted. So it could be, if I'm really trying to make you

picture this in your head. That's the only time I would, but it's like, I'm not doing it because, and I have done it. I'm not saying I'm like, figured that out. And it's hard not to want to do it, but I, you got to remind yourself, you're there doing comedy. They're not dumb. My first time doing standup in Canada, I was freaking out about like,

say in washroom instead of bathroom yeah i was talking to this guy like are you they're like yeah we know what a bathroom is yeah you idiot yeah all right my bad yeah yeah i mean it's your first time going yeah i mean i honestly i think everybody has this feeling i think everybody would uh i mean toboggan would obviously throw them off uh sled yes

Yes. So there's some things they would maybe totally... But I mean, yeah. So if you're going up there and you're a toboggan-heavy comedian, and you're like, hey, my act is mainly toboggan. My point is there's some words that it's not whether you're dumb or smart, it's whether... If you want this to go good, I would say toque. If you want to have... He goes, I don't know, but toboggan works so good. He goes...

Do you want to sell them afterwards or not? If you're selling toboggans as merch, say, guys, you want some toques? Some toques. Some toques. Leanne says she used to work with a comedian from California and she'd do shows in the South. She's like, guys, where I'm from, we're at this thing called vegan. Yeah. And she said she told her, we know what vegans are in the South. Yeah. But she was from LA or something. She didn't, she doesn't think we didn't have them here. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I mean, everybody thinks... That's so condescending. Oh, well, I think... I honestly think the only problem... The problem with the...

country in the world now is condescending. Is that thing is people think they're smarter than, than they think their friends, the people they're with, we're all cool. And then they think anybody outside of that, they're like, dude, they're like so dumb. And that's the number one problem with everything. So if you just like, they, they assume everybody's dumb, like the vegan thing, they think the South and this is me,

I get a little defensive, but I think they have an image of the South that's not a good image. And they, you know, people just come to the South and they'll be like, what are y'all doing? Like, someone that came, which is funny, that BB gun, I think I said it here, but like, guys, like, you're going to see a lot of guns down there and you're like, that's just like, that's someone now, 2021, that's someone

that you're 22 that goes like, well, they got a lot of guns down there. And not saying that people do have guns down here, but you're like, I don't see guns. I don't walk around and just see like it's the wild West, but they, in their head, you're going to picture that. And that's the problem with every, like we all picture. If you go to Canada, you're like, what is it? You know, they're going to be Eskimos everywhere. They're going to, you're going to think whatever you think of it. And you want to go, Hey, just assume everybody's as smart as you just go ahead and assume that that's what everybody should do. And,

Every interaction you have, assume the person's smarter than you maybe. Just assume that. That would be a better – you have a better experience if I treat you with that than if I treat you dumb. And I think most people treat people dumb. And so if they feel they're being talked down to, that's the disconnect. My audience is probably smarter. I mean, realistically.

I get that I'm funnier or something, or I can be creative or whatever, but they are going to be smarter than me. Most of the people that come to these shows, I'm not going to be able to talk to them about real stuff. They're super smart. They have real jobs and they did stuff.

So it's like you treat everybody with just that you're smarter. I don't think you ever have a problem with anybody. Yeah. Because you're at least showing them the respect. Right. But we don't do that. No one does that. Everybody goes, well, I'm the one. I bet the other ones are dumb. I totally agree with that.

Solo stuff. We'll be right back. Solo stuff. I got my wife solo stuff for Valentine's Day, by the way. Oh, yeah. That's good. Fun little gift. Are you being sarcastic? Yeah. You don't think that's romantic to have a little fire pit and hang out by the fire pit? Hey, ma'am. Hey, lady. For Valentine's Day, won't you...

Go out and start a fire. I'll go out there and start it. Yeah. You know? Yeah, it is. You know, I thought for Valentine's Day, what if you go outside and not be near me? I bought you a fire so you'd be warm. I will say if you're trying to discreetly order a solo stove, it will show up in a huge box that says solo stove on the box. You might be able to click. Can you click something that says gift? I don't know. Maybe. I didn't do that. What do you call the rubber sole shoes you go to the gym in? I say tennis shoes.

Tennis shoes is what I've always called them. Never played tennis. Most of the country does. My wife calls them sneakers. Yeah, I think I've even started saying sneakers just because enough people. That would be one that was like sometimes if I, it's not like you're not too dumb to get it, but if I felt you were going to ask about it, then I would just do whatever to, you know, if like I was like, oh, I went and bought some tennis shoes and I just don't want you to go, what? I would just say, I'll say whatever to stop the conversation because I'm talking to an idiot.

I tell you, half these people I talk to, I tell you what, are morons. They are just dumb, dumb, dumb. All right, go ahead. Most of the country, if the sun's out when it's raining, most of the country don't have a word for that. When the sun's out when it's raining? Yeah. Do you have a word for that, what you'd call that? When the sun's out and it's raining? Yeah. No.

In parts of the northeast in Florida, they refer to it as a sun shower. In parts of Mississippi and Alabama, they call it the devil is beating his wife. Do they really? Yeah, yeah. You know that term? I heard that growing up. If the sun's out and it's raining. Yeah, the devil's beating his wife today. Yeah. You're doing a Habitat for Humanity, and that's where you heard it? You go. You all drove down your mountain to talk to the regular folk? Yeah.

The devil's beating his wife. Teachers would use it, regular people. In school? Oh, yeah. It was just an expression. Yeah. It doesn't happen that often. I mean, how often does this weather phenomenon happen? Well, enough's enough. Not that often, but enough for a term. I think that's what a real abuse relationship is. Well, I mean, how often am I really hitting you? You go, I guess not every day.

Is that, I mean, that's the saying. All right. And then, then the wife has to be like, I mean, I guess I can't complain about it. It's not every day, you know, in Florida, it's every day. I guess it rains. And I think my, like every day they get it. They always say that they get like just a hard shower at some point during the day and they don't stop. But I've never heard. That's crazy. That seems like a lot. Like if someone said that, that would be like, what's that?

I don't, like weathermen aren't using this term, you know, on the news or anything. Well, it's in the education. The teachers are using it. The educators. Well, kids, the devil's beating his wife today. Do you have any idea what it means or how that? I mean, I have an image of what it means. The devil beating his wife. In reference to the weather? No, I have no idea. I have no idea where that comes from. I guess she's crying. And he's, the devil. The sun's burning on it? Maybe. I think, yeah. I didn't dig into it like that, but yeah, that makes sense.

I like it. Oh. I'm going to start saying that again. Yeah. The devil's beating his wife. You wear a wife beater. That's what the shirt is. That's what the shirt is. I bet a lot of people that say that have that shirt on, and then there's just a lot of like, whew, like you have to go. And he goes, the guy walks out on the wife beater and goes, the devil's beating his wife today. And you're like, oh. You know.

In New England, they call milkshakes frappies. Yeah, that doesn't make sense. No, I don't like that. Frappies? Yep. I thought a frappie was a coffee. I thought it was too. A milkshake to them is just milk and syrup until you add the ice cream. Until you add the ice cream. A milkshake to them is just milk and syrup until you add the ice cream. If it's not a... And then it becomes a frappie? Yeah, which makes it a frappie. That would be... Except in Rhode Island where they call it a cabinet. A cabinet? Mm-hmm. Because that's where the blender is kept that you make it.

I mean, so you just call it whatever you, wherever you keep the stuff at? That's, you know...

I mean, everything could be a cabinet. Then you go, can I get a cabinet? Yeah, what do you want? I'll take a banana. I know one keeps bananas in the cabinet. That wasn't a good example. But would someone ever keep a banana? That would be real weird. If you went over to someone's house and you said, hey, can I have a banana? And you opened the cabinet and they gave you a banana, would you think you would say something? You'd probably have to say something. You keep bananas in that cabinet? Yeah, don't just leave them out on the counter, huh? Yeah. Maybe it could be good for you.

Why? I don't know. I just think, why not? You never think about it. We talk about, you know, I put ketchup out and I start putting my bananas in my hot on my cabinet. Yeah. Yeah. Keep them fresh. Keep them fresh. Don't they say if you hang bananas, they'll stay fresh longer.

I've heard that once you take one off, then it's over. Yeah, the rest of them, they start to ripen super quickly. Yeah. Once you break the seal. You got like a... I think Seinfeld used to have a joke about it. Like someone eating fruit, but you have about an hour with a banana. You buy it, it's like not good. And then you have a window. Pretty quick. It's pretty quick. And I like bananas a lot, but you got to be thinking about them. If you buy them...

Because they go to bad. I think they got to be on your mind the whole time you buy them. I think you got to just be, back of your head's got to be like. Banana. Banana. Banana, banana, banana. Cabinet. That's crazy. That's. You know, my mom used to do growing up, if she got something, a food from the store that she didn't want the kids to eat right away, she'd take a Sharpie and she'd write no on it.

on the box. So if you look through our cabinet, it's just all kinds of stuff. Just no. And we're trying to find something to eat. No. She wants to save it. It's a very funny thing to do. Did you honor that request? No, I think me and my dad would disobey every now and then. I remember my dad once taking the box, flipping it upside down. He says, on.

And then we'd just eat it from there. What was it? Like candy or... If she's like, let's say we got like Nilla wafers. She's like, I want to save these for school lunches. Yeah. No. Yeah. Okay. That's funny. Yeah. The cabinet thing is crazy. I mean, they call you in a cabinet a milkshake because I think they would even feel...

about that. And I'm not saying everyone in Rhode Island, but that's just what the article says. Because they had some stuff here about Tennessee. I'm like, nobody says that. Rhode Island does. How many Rhode Islands will fit in a cabinet? That's a good question. You say yard sale or garage sale? Garage sale. I say rummage sale.

No, I don't. No, I don't. Rummage sale sounds like you'd be, oh, you got a rummage sale going on? You're like, it's a little better than that, dude. Like it's, you know, I would be offended if someone, what is this, a rummage sale? You're like, I don't know, dude, we're not doing that bad. I got some good stuff here, dude. Connecticut and Wisconsin call them tag sales or rummage sales. Tag sales. Most of the country calls it yard sale. No one says garage sale?

Some do, but most people in this part of the country call them yard sales. Oh, I would always say garage sale. Garage sale too. I say yard sale. I always said yard sales, but I've heard both. I feel like you go to a lot of them too, so you wouldn't know. You feel like a yard sale. I think you would be a yard sale guy. Yeah? Yeah. With some old baseball cards? Yeah. Just showing up. I always feel embarrassed. It's always kind of weird walking up. To a yard sale? Yeah.

You like park and then it's like, I don't know, but I always feel a little weird. Like you're just walking in someone's like yard. And start combing through their stuff. And like, you know, and you're like, you feel like, well, I got to talk to him. It's like so personal. It's not a store. You're not like a target being like, yeah, man, I'm just like, you know, it's like, it's the guys, these kids are running around. Like, you know, and you're like, and you get a, and then you get a hat, you know, I'll give you $2 for it. And you're like, yeah.

And I like the idea. I think they're, I like the idea. $2. That's a good, that's a high price for a hat. For a hat? Is that what you said? No, I just said $2. I don't know. Oh, I thought you said a hat. Yeah. Most things are like 25 cents. Yeah. For a box. Yeah. Box of stuff. Stuff and you go through it and find what you want. You just leave it there. Yeah. Big trucks that go across the interstate. What do you call those? Big trucks. Yeah. Semi-trucks.

18 wheelers is what we always called them. The South mostly calls them 18 wheelers. Westerners call them semi-trucks. Northerners call them tractor trailers. See, I think I have a mix of Louisville, Kentucky. Does Louisville consider itself the South? Or it's right on the cusp? I mean, I think they act like it. But they say, like my mom says, ire, like for an hour. She'll say, ire. Really? We'll be back in an hour. Shire. We'll go take a shower in an hour.

Like it's like that kind of Irish. There's like a little, there's that kind of Northern, like Abigail says a little bit like that. So I think we have, that's what my accent is always kind of weird. Like I have, my dad had a speech impediment. I'm not, I didn't really, I didn't really get a fair shot coming out. We have two, I'm learning Louisville, Nashville,

My dad has a speech impediment. And my mom says iron washer, washer, washer. I mean, you're lucky that I speak the language. The fact that I make money speaking is... Unbelievable. It's phenom level of the fact that...

There's so many times when I am talking on stage, I'm like, I don't even know how people are like going. There's times I'm like, am I getting too – I think it's too dumb. Or it's too like people are like, what? You are like – do you know who Wilma Rudolph was? She overcame polio to become an Olympic track star. Yeah. You're the same thing. Yeah. You're a modern-day Wilma Rudolph. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's nice. Yeah. They're –

Yeah. I mean, there's times in my act I'm like, I don't, man, are people just like, I mean, you're like, I think they're laughing. Like, they got to be laughing just at you. Being like, I don't know, we're out to like a zoo animal. It's like going to the zoo. They're going to feed them in an hour. I've totally done that where I get a big laugh and I think like my zipper's undone or something. Oh, yeah. Like, it just felt. I check it. Yeah, so do I. I check it right when I walk out.

As you're walking out? Yeah, I should check it before, but you do check it before, but then when you get there, you're like, let me make sure. You just like do, you wave, you're just going to touch the, like just zip us up and go about your day. Yeah. The South is the most religious part of the country. Probably no surprise there. Vermont's the least religious state. No surprise there. Yep. Only 42% of residents consider religious. Mississippi, the most religious, 85%.

M-I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I. Crooked letter, crooked letter, I. Humpback, humpback, I. There it is. What? I tell you, you would spell Mississippi. M-I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I. Crooked letter, crooked letter, I. Humpback, humpback, I. You learned that in school? Yep. Yep. That's how they taught us. And they said, the devil's beating his wife. The devil's beating his wife. Maine is the youngest state in the U.S., average age 30.7. Oh, I thought it was like the youngest, like... The last one? The last one. I'm like, oh, good for them.

30.7 is the average age in Maine? The median age, yeah. Wow. That's crazy. According to this, which is Kohl's Research, Alaska's the highest. Kohl's Research? 44.5. Like the store? Wow. Our intern, Kohl. Yeah. I would say Alaska, I guess, because you can't get out. It's like they're there, you're there. You thought they'd be the oldest? No, I could see them being the oldest. You're not going to be... I think if you're born in Alaska, you have a greater chance of people don't leave.

Even though you would think people would move away from Alaska, but I think they love it and they're proud of it. And so the people that live there, yeah, they'll stay there forever. I can see that. It's the most ownership you could have of a state. I feel like Hawaii, Alaska, Hawaii. Those are like, you're your own thing. You're like, this is what I am, dude. Uh-huh. You know? Yep. The South has some of that, I think, too. Texas has a bunch of it. Texas has a lot of that.

South in general, I definitely can feel I was excited to move back home. I guess everywhere does that, but I would think Alaska and Hawaii has got the most because they're just on their own. New Yorkers that want to go. Julian, again, we were talking about moving back to New Jersey. He's from New Jersey or Philadelphia kind of area, but then New York.

And people just want to go back there. And like, it's always crazy to me when they think like, gosh, I want to go back to New York. It's like, it's great. You just walk around and go get whatever you want to go get. Like, and you're like, well, that's all they know. They're like, that's what they, that's what they love. They love that. Yeah. And so it's like, yeah, I get it. But I would think Alaska and Hawaii has got to be the most. You feel that way about Lebanon? You're going to go back one day? I hope so. I'd like to. We, we've talked about soft drinks on here. What you call them? South Coke. Yeah. Yeah.

North and Midwest call it pop, and New England and both coasts call it soda. Eastern Massachusetts and part of Maine call it tonic. I've started saying soda more, but I would say Coke. It says that we say Coke. A lot of the South does, yeah. Yeah. Tonic.

And I was talking to my uncle the other day in Lebanon and he called it, I mean, I'll hear this a lot, a cold drink. Yeah. And we'll get me a cold drink. Yeah. Have you ever heard that? No, I don't know. Were y'all talking on the phone? Do you have a operator? She goes, Sarah, can I talk to my uncle? I'm like, I'm Mayberry. Sarah. Sarah, can you get my uncle on the phone? Cold drink. He's having a cold drink. He said, I'll call you back. All right, Sarah.

I think that's a very Southern thing. Cold drink. I hear some guys, cold beers. That's what they say. Go out and have a few cold beers. I would say, I started saying soda, and I almost say soda now. I always said Coke, but then that was one that I... It's not... Again, I don't think I was... I was saying Coke. It's like I'm... Not enough people knew what that... And I get it, because I'm... And then...

I was like, well, I'm going to just say soda. A lot of stuff, if you change it just for the jokes, I'm trying to just make it as what's the easiest way to understand what I'm saying. Because I think if you said Coke on stage, you would have to be a joke about it. Isn't that exactly opposite of what you just said? No, because it's not saying that they could get it. But Coke, if you're – I just think – I think they would get it, but it's like do I want them to even have an ounce of confusion? Yeah.

Like if I don't want them to trail off at all, like I don't want your mind to go like, oh, I bet he means soda. Like I want you to be so into what I'm saying that I'm just going to say the thing that gets you there. That's not saying that they're dumb. That's saying I don't want you to be distracted. It's just going to be distracted. Yeah. It's going to be distraction. So that's not. Wouldn't you agree? No. That's crazy. It is exactly that. If I don't want you to be distracted, I'm just trying to get to the point.

I mean, I think that's opposite. Exactly what you said. You were like, you just say what you say. People aren't dumb. They're going to get it. No, that's not. There's a difference between being distracted. There's a difference going like, do y'all know what a Walmart is? Like, it's like, that's being dumb. What are y'all in the South? Y'all just have guns. Everybody walk around. That's like the dumb.

But if you're going like, I'm going to say soda, just so people don't. Everybody knows what soda is, and I don't want you to be distracted from the joke. That's how you make a joke really work. You should try it. In Saskatchewan, a hoodie is considered a bunny hug. I mean. Yeah. You knew that? No. But.

You say old lady, old man. You hear people say that? Yeah. That can mean your dad or your spouse, right? Yeah. That's a little confusing. Old man. Yeah, a lot of Travis thinks he's old man to his dad. Old man's coming. It's a weird – we never said that.

But then old lady, I think it's funny to hear old lady. I want you to be really country if you're saying old lady. Yeah. I think I want you to, you have a truck, you have some land, you live on a, you know, like you could survive on your own. You think that's a Southern thing?

I think it is, but I want you to be like, I want all, you could live off the grid. If you can live off the grid, then I think you can say old lady. That's like that. And I like it. The Duck Dynasty guy, he called his wife Miss K. Yeah. That's the most Southern thing I could think of. Yeah. But if you're something like that, if you're like that, I feel like someone's doing it and you're like, you're not that Southern. You're like, you can't.

Couldn't live off the grid. That's what I consider most Southern. You're modernized Southern. Y'all were close. I mean, you kind of did because you were so far out. Yeah, on that quiz I took, the 25-question quiz, I lied about one. I said what I've said all my life, which is the last meal of the day is supper. My mom considers the last meal of the day not dinner. She calls it supper, which we've heard that. But she calls lunch dinner.

Oh, which I think more people have never heard that. I think that's just wrong, right? I mean, it's not to her. Yeah. It's fun, but it's, it's lunch. That's what it's called. Yeah. Well, I don't know if it always has been.

All right. In some parts of the world, uh, tipping in, in Japan, tipping is considered rude because good service is standard and expected. Uh, yeah. I mean the tipping thing, I, uh, I saw someone, it was just like one of those, like some factors on that somewhere in here in America, someone just said they just paid the servers and stuff more money. Uh,

I, yeah, I mean, look, I, I mean, I worked on tips. Tips are great. Like that's how I got started. Like I'm not against tipping, but I also am not against like, if you just had it like, you know, just standard or whatever, you know. Yeah. If they were just paid.

Yeah. $10 an hour or whatever, or more. Yeah. Whatever it is, if they pay them and they should be like as much money as they could with tipping and then they always make that money. And then that would be, and then, you know, in Australia there's a 10% goods and services tax on every bill. And that's kind of accepted. That is the tip. Yeah. Like you're paying it, but it's in the bill. Does that make sense? Yeah. I would almost like, I like, I like that. Like, I like the idea of being like, if you're like 20% added to everything,

I'll play devil's advocate here. All right. Going to beat your wife? I'm going to beat my wife. All right. Could you argue that the quality of service will drop a little bit if I'm not working for tips anymore? You could, but tipping's getting now. I mean, it may be not, but I feel like tipping is just like, it's so standard that even if your service is bad, I think a lot of people still tip 20%. I don't think you're even...

You don't make a point. It's not a statement anymore. It'd be insane. I mean, you would have to have a fight with the server for it to be zero for you to go. I'm leaving nothing like you would have to be knocked down, drag out fight. I have only time I've ever done. It was with a cab driver once. And we got in a huge fight because they in New York, when you lived in Queens, if you got a cab from LaGuardia to go to Queens, they would be furious.

Because they wanted, they send that long line to wait to go get a fare to New York. So they, and like, I understand it, but it's like one of those that you're like, well, what do you want me to do, dude? Not go home? Because LaGuardia is in Queens, right? Yeah. Okay. So it'd be very quick and easy. And like, so like the dude, you would get in and I mean, I would get so self-conscious and embarrassed to be like, I'd almost want to go to New York just to get in a

and go home. Because it was so like, you get in there, I'm going to Queens. And then he'd be like, and they would just be mad at you. And they, I mean, one guy gets in an argument with me, like, because I live in Queens. And we got in a, we ended up getting a huge,

And I got out and I was like, I tipped zero on that. Like, and I, and I showed him I was tipping zero. Like it was like, it was, I made it a whole point, but it was, it was, but it ruined me where anytime I go now, I don't want to get in a cab unless I'm going to where I think they, New York got real bad with that for a while where you get in cabs. And if you were, if you were like even going home from New York,

If you were in Manhattan, you're like, I could go out to Queens. I mean, they'd drive away from you. You go, where are you going? Queens. They'd leave. They'd want to stay in the city. And I mean, I understand it, but you're like, so now your service is not even a thing. Yeah. And so then you would go and then you get to New York. That's why you'd start to be like you'd want to use a car service in Queens. I'd rather just use a car, like set up a car service. So they know where you're going ahead of time. So they know where you're going ahead of time. So there's not an argument. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, I would be very, I'm not always just like, would be very self-conscious about it. Like, I know you could be like, who cares? Most people can be like, who cares? But I could never, I was always like, you know. I've had Uber drivers, they'll counsel on you once they see where you're going because they want a long trip. Yeah. They want something short. Yeah. I think it's the same reason, right? Yeah. Yeah. I find myself tipping now on stuff that I used to not,

tip on like if you're a self-service place and you're paying at the counter but then they'll you're playing with the credit card so they'll flip that thing over yeah

And in the past, if I paid with cash, I wouldn't have tipped. But now I feel obligated to. Yeah. Yeah. I put a tip everywhere. 100%. I don't think I do at the ice cream thing, which we've talked about that a long time ago, right? What? Like there's an ice cream place where you do it all yourself. Oh, yeah. And they have a tip thing. And that's infuriating to me. I mean, infuriating.

That's the only one that I'm like, and I get like, you know, I talked to Felix. He's like, it's just a kid. Like it's not the kid's fault. It's this, it's the store's fault. That makes me mad. You're like, I'm literally doing, I'm getting it myself. You go around, you get the ice cream, you get all the toppings, whatever. I do everything cool until you, I think you're treating me. You dumb. Yeah. When you, when I feel like I'm, I'm getting your, you think I'm stupid. Yeah.

then I, that's my, I'll give you money. I don't, I'll get, I don't, I can not feel any emotion to, I don't want to be mean to anybody. But if I think you think I'm stupid and that point you do, cause you go, I mean, I get the cup, I get the, I do this, I do it. I do every, all they do is flip the iPad or they, they could technically not just have it turned around and I could put it on the scale and then be like, it's like almost a checkout, like at the,

there's nothing that they do i guess they clean the machines but then you're like so why even have a business then so i like i guess we're all tipping the i gotta tip the guy he's got to clean the bathroom like you know that's the only one that i get that yeah um punctuality some countries look at punctuality very different in germany you're expected to arrive at least 10 minutes early for any scheduled meeting if you show up on time you're late

But in Mexico, people usually show up 30 minutes late for a scheduled meeting. And in Brazil, it's impolite to arrive on time. I like that. That's where Laura needs to move to Brazil, where it's just like, who do you think you are? You said it was 5 o'clock. Is she late everywhere? She's late everywhere. Yeah. It's considered in Brazil impolite to arrive on time for social occasions due to the fact it's unlikely the host would even be ready to receive the guest.

And if you are scheduled an appointment, you're required, they're required to show up time. You're not required to show up on time unless you use the phrase English time, which means you're supposed to be there when it says. Oh, so they, yeah. They believe that if a person arrives late, that means they're more successful than a person who shows up on time because they got a lot going on. Yeah. That's the philosophy. Yeah. I mean, it's pretty true. Yeah.

If you're going like wide open. Yeah. I can see how you can develop a culture of that quickly. When I used to run a show, I think both of y'all did it at one point. I used to run a show at this like tiki bar.

uh, in downtown Nashville. Next to the Satco? Yeah, right next to the Satco there. And we wanted to start at nine o'clock and I want to be like, we'll start at nine. And then like, if you don't, if you start at nine 30 once, everyone's like, oh, they don't start till nine 30. And you just can't, you can't get it back. Yeah. Every week I was like, we're starting promptly at nine. Like, come on. Everyone, nine 20 people roll in. You would have to say eight 30. Yeah.

You have to say 8.30. You have to lie. Yeah. Yeah. You have to go 8.30 and restart at 9. But then you end up start showing up too. I know. You go, well, I'm going to show up at 9.30 and you give into the system. And I go, well, they're not even going to be there until I'll just show up late too. In Morocco, people show up anywhere from half hour late for personal appointments to the next day. Oh, okay.

You're waiting for that guy? I was like, how you doing? That's very funny. The next day? That's got to be. What, like a dentist appointment? They call it Moroccan time. Yeah. You're like, I might be. It's half hour is like amazing. That's like a guy that's life is put together. Yeah. And then the extreme is just the next day. And the fact they have to see you?

They would be like, yeah, we got to let them. Your appointment was yesterday. Nah, they want to be rude. Yeah. And you're just like, yeah, I'm here. It's Moroccan time. That's great. Different countries eat dinner different times. Spain's usually the latest. They start their meals anywhere from 10 to 11 o'clock. Oh, wow.

which I think they mentioned on the dinner party episode of The Office. Yeah. Didn't she say that? Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think she said midnight. And they think they do this because they changed their time zone during World War II to sync up with the Germans. And they never change it back. So people who used to eat lunch at noon –

All of a sudden, now they're eating at 1. They didn't change their lunch time. They just started eating an hour late. Yeah. So now dinner... Is it only an hour difference? When they change the time zone? Yeah. Which doesn't explain why you're eating... Yeah. Because we don't eat at 9 to 10. Yeah, yeah. But that's one reason they give that they've never changed the time zone back. It's a slippery slope. Like your other egg goes, might as well just have dinner at midnight then. You go, I don't know. It's only an hour. Yeah.

Bathrooms are called different things in different countries. Washrooms. The loo. The loo in England. In France, Germany, and the Netherlands, they call it the water closet or toilet. Toilet. Toilet is funny. Australia calls it a... I think toilet is like kind of gross. I feel like bathroom is like... Washroom, I don't like. I like washroom. It feels... Washroom feels a little more...

It does. And more accurate. I can see why other countries are like, well, you're not resting and you're not taking a bath. I'm resting. A restroom. A restroom is, a restroom even sounds better. Like bathroom, restroom, washroom, you know. When someone's like, where's the toilet? You're like, good night, man. You just beat him back with a broom. Just get back out of here. Get out of here.

Like just, you know, it's like, oh, you're looking for the John. I mean, that's. Yeah. What do you call the portable? The portable ones. Porta Johns. Porta Johns. That's what I call them. Is that what you call them? Yeah. I don't know. I started calling it that over the last couple of years. I like it. Yeah. Better than. Porta Potty. I hate saying that. Porta Johns. Porta Potty. Maybe I say Porta Potty. I hate Porta Potty. Yeah, I guess I do too. Yeah. Really? We have one in our driveway right now. Porta John. Porta Potty. Yeah, I think I say Porta Potty. What do you call the bathroom on the plane?

I don't know. Never gone. Bathroom. An air, air, John. Isn't it? Um, and it calls up, I forgot the water closet. No, it's like, uh, I don't know. Laboratory. Laboratory. Thank you. Laboratory. Yeah. But you don't ever go, I'm going to go to the laboratory. You go, I'm going to the bathroom. They say the laboratory when they tell you, so, you know, but no one goes, I'm going to go to the laboratory. One of my old jobs is I used to work at a Port of John Island in, uh,

We did an episode on odd jobs. I don't think you ever mentioned this. Maybe we did. I used to work at Fontenelle Music Venue with my buddy Carter Jackson. He was my boss. He was also my roommate. But he drove a lull, which we can talk about that too. A forklift. Do you ever call it a lull? No. He used to drive a lull. And a big part of our job was to build Port-A-John Island in the back, which was like 80 Port-A-Johns. We had to pick them up.

Carry them on the lull over there, arrange them. And that's what we did before every concert. Just get Port of John Island together. Yeah. You didn't have to clean them. We didn't have to pick them up afterwards. That was a, you need a specialist for that.

Yeah. But we'd set up the empty ones. And you would have to do forklifts? Yeah. Just like set them down? Carry them up on the wall over there, yeah. Yeah. So you don't have to get out and touch them at all. I did. Well, we had to move them. We had to take them off and set them up. Yeah. Took hours, man. Yeah. I can imagine. I could see that. That's the job. I had jobs like that. It's a very...

Yeah, you're definitely not smarter than your audience with that kind of job. I've done those jobs where you're – it's like they're like, we just can't teach an animal to do this or we would do that. So that's most of my job for – like if we could train a gorilla to do it, it'd be – Yeah, we would. We would, but it's like just – you just do it. You'd be out of the way. I mean, recycling tires when I did that job is like –

You're just like, I don't, we just don't have a machine yet for this. So we're just looking for just maybe the most uneducated person. Just a warm body. Who's not, yeah, who's not bringing anything to the world. No, I'll do it. You go, you can do it in a cave. All right. I got more examples where we can shift directions. Which way? What's? Of like word, different phrases, things like that. Is there any other interesting or?

Well, to me, but maybe not to you. In the South, we say y'all, like we'd say how y'all doing. The rest of the country says, how are you guys doing? In New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, they say how you's doing. In Pittsburgh, how yin's doing. How yin's. There you go. Trash can, garbage can.

Trash can. I say waste receptacle. Yeah. I think I say trash can. Most of the country says trash can. Pacific Northwest says garbage can. But I've heard garbage can. Garbage can. I've heard, yeah. Garbage can sounds better. I think we say the garbage has got to go out. Yeah. Like you've got to take it to the... We say take the trash out. Well, you take the trash out. Take the trash out is take the trash out from your house to the garbage can.

That's true. And then you go take the garbage. The garbage has got to go out today. That means you've got to roll it up to the street. Roll it up to the street. That's a good point. I agree with that. That's a big thing on neighborhood. Now that I'm in a neighborhood, like the Facebook neighborhood, there's always some debate about when the garbage trucks are coming around. Yeah. Lightning bug or fireflies? Lightning bug. Lightning bug. Yeah. Eastern half of the U.S. call it lightning bugs and western half say fireflies. Firefly. Gross. Yeah. Yeah.

Mud season. New Englanders have a period between winter and spring, which is called mud season. Okay. That's where... So that's when it's still cold, but the snow is melted and it's just gross? Very muddy. Okay. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Do some of the other ones. Shifting gear? Yeah. All right. So we're also talking about some life hacks. Yeah. Oh, man. And I thought of...

I was trying to think of one. I thought of one for you. I feel like you have a bunch that you've shared with me over the years. You're a little bit like Kramer in that regard. You've always got something to do. One I thought of you was the Flat Stanley thing.

Is that what it's called? No, not Flat Stanley. Lazy Susan. Yeah. Yeah. That's like, he's married. That's his wife. That's Flat Stanley's wife is Lazy Susan. Beat his wife. Yeah. Yeah, I've got two Lazy Susans in my fridge. Oh. Tell us what you do with them. And I highly recommend. I put stuff on it, dude. Yeah. I got tired of digging, trying to find the right condiment, digging through it. Now I just spin that sucker around. Why don't you just leave your condiments out? Well, I could do that, but I'm a...

Didn't you post that? You're a bit of a lazy Susan. Didn't you post it and it got a ton of traction? Oh, yeah. I got trashed. A few people trashed it. They said, this is the laziest thing I've ever seen. And other people were like, this is brilliant. I'm getting some. Yeah. I recommend it, dude. It'll change the game. And it's a good conversation piece. Yeah. Because you have a lot of buddies. When y'all come over, y'all hang out at the fridge. And then... Walk in cooler. Yeah.

Y'all just end up, where's Aaron at? There you go. Him and his buddies are over it. The fridge is open. Look at this. They're talking it. Starts beeping. They have to shut it and open it back up. We got good in them three more minutes to go. And you just spin it? Y'all just wander. Spin around. That'd be a big man party. Y'all just end up all just slowly end up next thing you know, your friend door's open. You're just all standing there like, feels good.

I can think of a couple that drive hand. You told me one. I don't think you, well, how would conversation starter? I guess. Here's how it would go down. Yeah. Nate, you come over to my house. What's up, man? Thanks for coming by. Can I get you something to drink? Yeah. All right. Let me, I'll do, look at this. Look what I, did I ever show you this? Oh, I've got to follow you in the kitchen. So I didn't, now I've got to, my kitchen's pretty close to the front door. Oh, Hey, come over here. Yeah. You want something to drink? Let me show you this. Come on and show you something. Yeah. Yeah.

So, how you peel a banana, which I think you may have said on here. And tell us why. This is how the monkeys do it. And if they... You do it not by the...

What is that? The stem, I guess. The stem. The handle. The handle. And you do it up at the bottom, and that's how monkeys do it. And it's the easiest way to open. I haven't opened a band in the other way in forever. And it just goes, and it opens. You know, the other one, it would sometimes break off or that. You just open it upside down. I haven't had many problems with the other way. I bet you've had more problems than you realize. Because, I mean, wouldn't the monkeys who this is their world, then, you know...

Do it the way they do it. I've never tried it that way, but it seems like it would be hard to get it started. It's not. It's very easy. You can squeeze it and it just goes. It's the easiest thing ever. You squeeze it. You can do it. I mean, Laura, she can bring a banana up here. I'll show you. Grab one out of the cabinet. You're going to ask her to?

And the other thing is, I remember you telling me, how you pack your clothes. Is there a way in a suitcase that... You can. They would always say roll them up. So if you roll your stuff, you wouldn't have to iron it. So if you do a suit, one way to do a suit was you turn the suit inside out, put one sleeve inside the other sleeve, and then roll the suit up. And then it takes up less space.

And then you have it rolled up. I had these one things I bought that were these zip packs. And like, you could just lay, like you'd have your things rolled up and they would all be in there. Now me packing is a little different than most. I mean, especially now, now we have a bus. I have like, cause I have show clothes. So that stuff is all hangers. And you got a closet on. I got a closet like on the bus. And so when I pack, it's like, I've started wearing like, you know, it's like, I kind of wear athletic gear. Like,

Like Viore, like you wear, like I kind of wear that everywhere because it's like then that stuff doesn't get wrinkled and then, you know, and maybe I'll have one outfit if I got to go. And, you know, my life is not,

Most people have to wear suits or stuff to work, but that's how I pack. One of the life hacks. I leave it packed too. I put a, I put a, in my closet, we built like just this little thing to have three levels and I have my top suitcases on the, is on the top shelf and it can stay open. And then my other two suitcases. So I have a bunch of different size suitcases. I have one that's guaranteed. It's going to fit in every,

Carry-on. Carry-on. Well, maybe if you're on one of the smaller, you know, like it could be a little – I think you fit it sideways. And then I have another one that could fit in a – if I'm on a regular plane, it'll fit like in a carry-on. And then I have a very – then I have a big one.

And so like that's the system. But I always like leave it. I have one, two, three. I kind of leave it open. I mean, I kind of live in my suitcase. Like I just, I don't really take everything out. Just kind of, you know, I'll take it out, wash it. And then, you know, I just, but it's helped wearing athletic stuff. It's like kind of keeps everything a little more simple. Yeah.

One of the life hacks it gave was instead of stacking your clothes in your drawers like this, you could do it like that. So then you can see every piece of clothes. Yeah. Like, so not, don't go up, go sideways. Yeah. So you're not digging around, see if something's in there. Yeah. Yeah. I hang a lot of stuff. I hang, I mean,

Everything. T-shirts and stuff too? T-shirts, golf shirts. I could get not wanting to, but it's just kind of easy when it's hanging. Look what we got here. Here's Sister Abigail. So here's how... Hey, everybody. So this is how we do it. In the monkey world, we would call baboons do it. Okay. We even make fun of... In the monkey world, we make fun of baboons, and then we call humans baboons.

And so you open it this way, and then you just go. And that split because it was soft right there, but perfect banana. You eat that tip part? I don't usually, but. See, this is already. Okay. All right. It's already better. It seems like it's more work. It wasn't. I mean, that's a perfect banana. After you broke off the thing at the top? No. You could eat that top part. Oh, okay. Okay.

Can you pull up that? All these are from lifehack.org. Oh, yeah. I'm all right. I don't use my hands. People offer me napkins a lot. I got it. I just do this. I have a weird thing with napkins. Like what? I don't like them.

I'll use them. I really use a towel. I have like cotton or like a napkin. Like if it's around my teeth, it gets me like, ugh, like I can't handle it. And so I have a – like at home, I have a towel. So if we ever have dinner over here, I will always have a towel and everybody else will have napkins. I can use napkins. If I go somewhere, I know how not to look like a wild animal.

I can be appropriate and do it, but I, it's, it's, I can get very, like, I don't like, uh,

like the fabric of a napkin. It's like the paper. I can picture if it hits my teeth, I'm going to be like, yeah. What about paper towel? Same thing? I use paper towels, but if I start thinking about it, then it's like... But I can use paper towel, but I'm just wiping my hands off if they're wet or something. Yeah. I have to use napkins a lot because you're going to places that that's all they have. Yeah. But if I go to a place and they have a cloth...

the, you know, the cloth napkin. I mean, I'm thrilled. I love it. You're tucking in the napkin. No, no. But it always makes me way happier. I'd rather use a cloth than a paper napkin. But like the McDonald's. I could never hold a napkin. My napkins never get crumbled. I fold mine. Mine always look kind of, I can't crumble one. That like gets me weird. And so like, I do it to not even, like Laura, do we do it where I don't really mention it to Harper because I don't want her to.

Get the same way. Do this weird thing. Give it a shot at a normal life. All right, so here's some life hacks. I didn't put all of them on there from this website. Tie a small piece of bright colored fabric to your luggage. Saves time at the airport when their luggage is coming out. That would be a very person from Lebanon life hack. Like never been traveled before. You're like, this is like, I think they make suitcases that look a little different. You're like, all right, I got one I heard the other day. Never heard it. Yeah.

put a piece of tape at the top of the, I think if you get this person's suitcase too, that they're picture of, you're going to be the only one with that suitcase. It looks pretty beat up. Yeah. And you're, you're like, you don't worry about it. Other people. Most suitcases are black though. I, I, yeah, I understand it. Mine are pretty, mine looks pretty different. Yeah. But I mean, I get the idea of it. I get the logic of it. I understand it. I think it's,

That's like someone that's, I think this travel stuff is like once you start traveling a lot, you're like, it's not, you look at like how much time, how, I don't know. It's like how much you got to tie this thing on versus how much time are you really saving? How hectic is the getting the bags in your life?

That you're like, we got to streamline it. Or we're going to... It could be annoying at that carousel, man. It can't. I know, but you just sit there when it comes out. You go, oh, that's mine. I understand. If you have one that looks like every other one, I could see tying a little something on there. Like I...

I understand that maybe you don't want someone to take yours. I've had someone take my bag before. I understand that. But this is all like when they talk about airplanes, like airlines losing bags. I know that happens, but you're like, when someone can put you like, don't quit acting like this happens every single time you travel. Pretty rare. I would think, I don't even know if it's once a year. For an average person, I doubt it's even once a year. We talked about that on the Travel Up, so it's very small.

And so people complain and like, they just throw into like, well, I don't like, and so this, like, I understand, I understand this, but I'm just saying, if you're like, you could also go like, how much, if you really look at it and go, are you that upset? That's why I started checking my bag a ton. Cause it's like, am I that, you know, people like, I don't want to deal with the people down there. You're like, well, is it that crazy for you? If you really think I travel every, I would travel every week. Yeah. Is it that crazy? Is it that much of a,

Now, also, I travel at different times. My life hack is don't do this. Don't try to fly out at 6 a.m. That would be my life hack for you. Try to leave at even 9, 10 a.m.

you, the difference of the amount of people you're around is crazy. It's crazy. You got to think that's, that's my, my life hack on everything is kind of, I look at, I look at the situation. I look at lines and I look at, cause I can just, you watch people, people just, you know, we talked about the, the experience experiment, like where the people just get in line, people just do stuff. If you're just a little aware, you shave off time all day long.

Even you go look at the line for where people go to get for their bags. It's like maybe go right to where the thing opens. People don't always go there. Sometimes they go to the middle. People go like, you know, you can see people kind of, they gradually go to one other place. Also. You go right up front, don't you, and stand? No, this is my biggest pet peeve. I never get as mad as I get when I'm waiting for my bag to come to the carousel and these animals come.

storm the carousel and they get all the way up to it. And now everybody has to get up to it because you can't stand back and see your back. So you're just like, well, now I got to play this game that these idiots play. I got to stand up right by the carousel because everybody else is. And I want to be like everybody, if you just back up, if everybody backs up 10 feet, we can all see it and you don't have to

work your way through this crowd. I get so mad. Then the line is just at the 10 feet mark instead of up against it. But then you can all see, you can all see it back there. If everybody's back, it's like you wouldn't go to a museum where everybody's walking through and looking at paintings. You wouldn't walk right up in front of the painting. Then nobody behind you can see. Yeah. Let's all back up a little bit. Yeah. And then we'll all be good. I get so mad, dude. Yeah. Yeah.

So what I would say, some of it is like you got to think, I'm trying to avoid frustration. All that stuff is like when you get mad, you're trying to avoid the frustration. That's how I looked at everything. When I travel, it's like, what can I do? If I'm going to get frustrated, that's what's going to ruin my day. It's not the time. It's the frustration of the experience. Right. So like some of that will be like, well, I'll go stand at the end of the belt where there's not a soul.

And I'll just wait a little longer for my bag to come. Just to avoid. Just to avoid the chaos. Squeezing and fighting. Just go stand at the end. Yeah. And then be like, it's like, instead of trying to like, you don't try to solve everybody's problems. You go, I'll just do a thing that no one, I don't think anybody else is doing. And then I go stand over there. You're the last one that, I mean, you just get it and be watched. You're, it's not like we're the act. Like we act like this time is like, these people are like,

Like they live, they're a day ahead of us because they got it. You're like, you're, you might even beat them. The hassle of even getting the bag out with everybody kind of jammed in, let everybody jam in. If you just go look, everybody kind of in any situation, everybody kind of goes like that and goes together and they want to eat a line to get food, a line to get any, everybody kind of does this. So if you just kind of look and go like, all right, let me just make sure it's not going to like, what's the least frustrating way to try to get my, whatever I'm trying to get.

There's a life hack. Find the least frustrating way. When I first was going on the road with him, I mean, I was like, you got to get this. You got to get it figured out. Wait, what was happening?

I mean, he's never flown. It's not. So when we first started going, I mean, maybe 12 times you've been on an airplane. Like, you got to realize it would be frustrating when you do this every single week. And then you got someone that approaches an escalator like it's just got invented yesterday. And they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You know, he's getting on everything. He's like, how fast? Like, it's jerking. Like, it's not just a constant speed. It's like, well, I don't want to get it when it takes off, you know?

And so it would be that, that would be, it was very hard. So it's hard for me to travel with some, cause I have, so it's because it's like, you have your system. You're like, I do my thing. I'll go stand here. I don't always go, uh, you know, when everybody gets up to that line and everybody's going to board and everybody just goes crazy. Yeah. It's annoying when those people stand there, that's super close, but you stand back, you watch the chaos. Yeah. And then when it's your turn to go, I enter the chaos at my speed.

And so I'm kind of like either the back of the chaos, maybe I can even get in front of the chaos because the chaos can sometimes, they're so chaotic that you can just go like another way because you're like, they're not even, no one's even paying attention to you. This is everybody's moment is like, this is the most craziest moment of my life is getting on this plane. And you just go like, I'm going to make it nice and easy. And I'm going to just go and just, you know. Right. It's like there's a little, like even when you're, I know they make you pay for seats and all this kind of stuff. Like,

When you're picking seats out, it was like, I would tell my wife, it's like, well, keep checking it. If you want to move a seat and you're thinking about it, keep really checking it. Look at the price for real. Sometimes people don't want to do the large, they just go, I want the cheapest one. I don't want to think, blah, blah, blah. They go like, well, let's take a look at it. Sometimes it honestly might be 50 bucks to get a first class flight. Maybe. Maybe not, but maybe. Maybe.

Try it. Maybe you don't pay to check it back. Just look at it. Does it hurt to look? You look at it. Or you look at the trip and go, I don't want to be that. Is that crazy? Is that like, you know, you think about your time and then you go off of that. That's a good life hack. You feel, what do you find with? What do you find with being chaotic? Some stuff you're like, yeah, I want the cheapest thing and I welcome the chaos. Yeah. Because I'm paying for the chaos.

to save the money. So I'm not mad at the, it's also how you enter the chaos.

enter it with like the, you get, I think I know I do. So I don't know if everybody, but I get frustrated if something doesn't go the way I want it to go. But if I'm open to going any way and I don't know, and I'm almost excited that it could go any kind of crazy way. Yeah. Then I enjoy, then I can enjoy the experience. But if it's, if it, if I go, this ain't going what I like. So I have to remind myself sometimes I would have to do this. I have to go. All right. Yeah.

I would do it with food. I always had a big problem too, like eating or me and Lark again fights where I would be like, we were supposed to be going to do this and now we're not eating there. We're eating this. And like, so it doesn't go the way I want it to go. And sometimes I would have to, so the mind would be as stupid as that. And I'd have to tell myself like, all right, what if I don't get to do what I want to? And then I'm like, I don't really care. Yeah.

Yeah. And I'm because I don't really care. I just care about my it's not happening the way I want it to. I don't care about what is happening. I care about me not getting to do what I want. So if I if I can look at it and go, you know what? I got to get there. That's like you talk about playing like Henry's being nice with you golf. I think I've been nice to you golf.

Like, it's like, cause I can go, you don't know how to play. You're not, I'm, I'm okay. Like I enjoy helping. Like I don't, but if we go and we're playing and I'm like expecting, you're like, yo dude, this is not what it was supposed to be. Then it's like all bets are off. But if I can go in and be like, yeah, Hey, I don't know how to play. Okay. This was all in the brochure. Yeah. This is what I'm buying. Otherwise I would just not play with you.

And so like, that's, that's all you, like, I don't, it's not like I have to play with just good golfers. I just want to know what you're just like, what am I, what am I walking into? Right. You know, do you think you're easy to travel with? I think if you did what I told you to do, it would be, but you, but you think you're like, who's I travel all the time and you don't.

So you would understand the frustration to be like, there's a system. I'm doing this every weekend. And then I just... It's like walking with a child. That's like... People travel with kids. It gets hard because kids don't know how to do... And you would... You know the one flight you almost missed? Yep. Like that. I mean, that was like... You almost missed the gig because you go... The flight was delayed. And I'm like...

I was like, it doesn't matter. They can drop of a dime, just change your flight back to the time it was supposed to be. And you stayed home. Like it was like, like, it's like a concrete, like it's in concrete can never change.

And so, yeah, like seeing that to be like, if you almost missed the gig because you think, well, I'll just go back home. That's very frustrating because then maybe I have to do a show that night and I have to go do longer time because you have never heard of an airport. And you think you're like, well, they, they, they mail the letter and it's in stone, it's written in stone. They can't change the flight back. And I'm like, that's not how it works. They can flip it just like that. If you feel like, if it feels like a day that's where flights are being flipped, you can kind of feel it out.

You can, you know, gauge it. But that one was, yeah, that was very frustrating. Counterpoint, Brian? He is not easy to travel with. I make it pretty easy on you now. You get on a bus and like, I would fly you first class. I mean, let's act like...

I'm throwing you in the back of a, I mean, my goodness. No one's ever treated, I've been treated that as the opener. Just go like, hey, you want to fly first class with me? Do you want to sit in the bus? Do you want to get like, how easy can it possibly be?

To be at the beginning. It's pretty easy. Flight to normal time. Flights are never 6 a.m. I know you were never getting up at 5 a.m. and going. We always leave at 11. Might have to pay a little extra for that, but I'd pay for your flight extra. But yeah, go ahead. Tell me, how am I frustrating to travel with? I think that answers it. Does it? Yeah. Yeah.

I pay for his flight. He's never paid. You never paid for a flight with me. No. That's unreal. I pay for every flight, hotel, all of it. Yeah. And I cover everybody. Yeah. But I guess I'm a little...

As you wander through an airport and you've been like, what has happened? Like we're moving across the country. Every day is like we're moving across the country. That's what I would say with you, traveling with you, is like it would be like the Oregon Trail every day. We're flying to Pittsburgh for a night, and it's like, I mean, it's like we're, like I said, we're moving to Pittsburgh. You're never going to see your family again. Get it all out.

That's how I think you travel. I think you've gotten better, obviously, as you've flown more, right? Yeah. When I first started, I flew maybe once a year. I don't think I was that bad. You were that bad. You didn't show up that time. You just didn't show up. I mean, I made the flight.

I mean, I think I had to call you. Or like I had to, like it was barely. Yes. Yes, that's true. Our flight got delayed. And so I got to the airport later. And then another plane came in, I think, or something. And so, I mean, I barely made the flight. Did you have to run through the airport? I did. I had to run to the airport to get to the gate. Yeah, so that's frustrating when your guy that you're with, supposed to be with, is not there. That's pretty frustrating to be like, it's the stress of like,

now I got to make sure you get to this show. Yeah. That stress. I learned a lesson. I didn't, I didn't know that they might bring in another plane and your flight gets moved back up. So yeah. Yeah. They can do whatever they want. Yeah. I understand. I get the idea of not knowing, but that could have been maybe if I, it is when I know what I'm dealing with.

But that's where you would want to be like, well, I just want to fly separate. I mean, look, I don't think I'm easy to fly with. I'm not bad to fly with, but when you travel every day, every week, it's different. If someone's a fitness person and they work out alone every time and then I go work out with you, you're going to be annoyed.

that I don't know how to do everything you know how to do. Anybody on earth, it's not like I'm a bad person to travel with. This is any situation. You would be frustrated if you had your job at Channel 5 and I come in and you got to show me how to do stuff. You're like, dude, let me just do this. So anybody would be frustrated with that. So when you get in your little bubble of like going, I travel and you're like, yeah, I kind of just like to, I do this because I'm here every day.

I don't, you know, it's, it's, it's not, that's what sometimes when you would fly to go into like Orlando or something, you're like, it would be frustrating because you're on a plane with people that are on vacation. And so it's frustrating to be like, everybody's taking pictures. Everybody's doing this. It's like a party. And you're like, it's Thursday, dude. I just, I just landed two days ago and I got to fly out again. Is part of you jealous of that, that joy they still have?

No, because it's just a different experience. I mean, I travel, so there's stuff that I might enjoy that they would enjoy. So it's just a different experience. But I fly, I try not to bother anybody. I try to not be seen. There you go. That's how I travel. So yeah, I had to get frustrated with like, and I saw all this stuff, like Laura will be like,

She could sometimes not change seats, right? So I would lose my mind over this. So like if her and my mom and Harper are flying and then she doesn't change, like they buy the ticket, they just get the seats wherever and they go, well, I'll just ask people to move.

And I think a lot of people, instead of just getting them changed, I think a lot of people, a lot of people do that. They think, well, I'll just deal with it when I get on the plane. It's not that big of a deal. Or even if you're going Southwest, where you got to get on the thing where you're like, well, if we want three to be together, it's like, well, I'll work out. Like I'll just, you just asking someone and a lot of people will move in the sense I fly once a year. Yeah. I don't know. I'll let you sit together. I don't care.

But then there's people that are flying like me, that are flying every week. Well, that's very annoying. And I might even give in to what you're going to do just because I'm not a maniac. And I've sat in the middle seat because these two girls were like, can we sit next to each other? They had a middle seat. And what are you going to look them in the eyes and say no? That's brutal. That's so hard to do, to look someone in the eyes and go, absolutely not. Are you insane? That's what you want to say. Are you crazy? You're not trading a fair thing.

You're giving me a middle seat in like, just so you can, and now like, it's not fair and no one ever trades fair either. You can always see that too. When people do want to trade seats, they never trade. They never, they never give you the better seat. Right. They never go like if you, if they have two aisles or something like, like I always think like if I'm going to have to do that,

Sometimes you do. So me and Travis or me and you were flying or something, and we have different seats because I couldn't get them together. Then at least have an aisle and a window. And so then you're giving the person to be like, you're really not... Unless they were like, yo, I got to... I think I've seen one guy that's like, he's like, what's the superstitious or something and wanted to fly in an exact thing. I've actually seen that. Weird. But it's like, whatever. That's what it is. He's like, then you...

got the bad end of the draw but usually you're going to find something that's like hey i'm trading you the exact same you can almost even sit in that seat i've had that happen where they're like hey do i'm sitting here do you mind just sitting on that and you're like yeah who cares that's the exact same seat right so it's like but people i think people that don't fly a lot i'll just figure it out when i get there well you end up asking that's not really fair

And then it's like, that's what that you're, you're, you're making people move around and you think whatever, it doesn't matter. Like, I don't care. Like, you know, it's like, I look at that. And so then that's when I get, you know, so I'll get on Laura about like, I mean, we can get some fights about it. Cause I'll be like, you can't just go ask people to switch. That's not fair. Yeah. You can't like, we're just going to sit. I mean, I almost like we're going to sit separate on for on, out of, out of a principle. Yeah.

Yeah. Here's our one-year-old who's going to sit in a chair alone to make a point that you should have just at once just either, like if someone wants an exit, like if a big dude wants the exit row, I always think, then you got to buy the exit row. Yeah. You got to buy it, man. Like it's, I understand, you know, it's like a guy walks on the plane, he's 6'6", but he gets in on Southwest, he lands at,

you know, he's on road C or where he's in whatever boarding group D. Yeah. And it's like, it's like, well, come on, man, I'm six, six. You're like, then pay. You can go. When you go to Southwest, you, after you check in, you can go to the,

Check-in counter. I do it all the time. You pay $40. It's $30 sometimes. Yeah. $30 or $40 and you get moved up to a one to 15. Right. And somewhere in that thing. And then maybe you can talk to one of them about switching into the Southwest thing. Maybe you could, but like 30, 40 bucks. So either...

Either deal with it or pay – there's ways to try to figure out how to get a little bit up sooner. You can do something. But I think people just get on. They go, I'll just guilt. They don't care about guilting the person into it. Yeah.

And I mean, you know, if I ever see a man, ever see a guy, he goes, no, I'm always like, I'm like jealous of that person. Like, how could you like, I would have given it to the guy. I would have been like, yeah, I guess, you know, you're not even boarding. You're not even giving me an aisle seat now, dude. Like I don't even get anything. I get something bad. A lot of people now Southwest by the pre-board, right? Like ahead of time online. Yeah. I just flew Southwest and I was waiting for,

24 hours ahead when you check in and clicked on it as soon as it happened and it was i was like cb40 yeah and i was like there's no what but they must have already pre-bought right yeah a lot of them are like pre-buying by the early bird check-in early bird yeah they'll jump the gun yeah yeah yeah or you gotta buy the yeah it's i mean it's southwest is the hard part of southwest too a lot of people don't know only really one true exit row if people want to go i'll give a little life hack

If you go in Southwest, there's only one real exit row. And it's the three seats that are together. The seats on the left, the one with the really long, you got the long seat in Southwest with no seat in front of you.

The other seats around it are regular seats. They're regular seats for sure. And I watch people sit in them all the time and they have no idea. Yeah. And they think they go, they'll go to it first. If you want, I don't even like the really long one. I think it's like too long. It's like almost an odd amount of space. It's awkward. So, uh,

I always go to the exit row in Southwest. And I go right to the, it depends on how long of the flight. You can go to the window or the aisle, but I just go right to the exit row. And a good thing too sometimes in the exit row is a lot of times the flight attendant, we're telling everybody all this, but the flight attendant will stand in your middle seat. There it is. In the exit row. So you go to that exit row and you have her stand in that middle seat. And most people are not paying attention enough

They just go, oh, and you can end up getting an empty exit row seat just because people are not paying attention. This is all people not – a life hack is just pay attention. Right. If you just pay attention. I've seen people walk by the exit row just because the flight attendant is standing in the third row of the exit row, and they just think, oh, I guess she's sitting there. She's blocking the whole row. And they think, well, it's a flight attendant, so she's just – that's the most space she has to stand in, so that's why she stands there.

Because there's no other exit roads. So they just, people just walk by. And you end up seeing where like no one's in an exit road. Yeah. Because you're like, well, they didn't pay attention. And I mean, paying attention is everything. Just pay attention. You get through life.

So I have a ton of these and we've only read one. Yeah. So I can either keep going or. No, I think, yeah. I think I did them all for everybody. Oh, I feel like there's some fun ones maybe for a future episode. Yeah, yeah. We can do it again. Yeah, sure. Yeah, we'll do it again. But we'll stop now. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I love talking about it. We would end up going on for another. Each one for another. Yeah. All right. So we're doing. So we're do another episode.

We'll do a life hack episode. Maybe we'll do one next. Yeah. Yeah. Record one extra right now. So maybe we'll do another life hacks because I enjoy talking about it. Yeah. Yeah. That's what, you know, that's what I bring to life. You're someone that is just... What? I mean, you're a cow on the... Like just... Look at the butt in front of you and just...

Walk, walk, walk, walk until it's your turn to be slaughtered. And then, you know, Macau sticks his head up and goes, hey, I don't think we're going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If we all turned and moved and went the other way. Yeah.

We would go out. Yeah. I love it. April 18th, live Nate Land podcast from Zany's. Live Nate Land podcast. Mike Vecchione will be there with us. Oh, wow. On the pod? On the pod. Nice. Okay. Mike Vecchione, we haven't made a, it hasn't been a full, full announcement on this yet, so I don't, but I'll tell you guys.

It would be cool, but I'm not saying anything. It would be cool. But we are, I am, Nate Land is going to be Nate Land. The idea of it, hopefully doing Nate Land Productions and I'm producing and directing Mike Vecchione's special. It's awesome, man. And so it's going to, it's on April 19th. I think we're doing two shows. We haven't made a full, full on big announcement. I will make a big announcement. Tickets are for sale. So if you do want to go, Vecchione's one of the funniest comedians ever.

And, you know, it's like, and he, you know, Vecchione's always been a comic, like, I don't want this to be the real reason of like, you know, it's like, if you like, but if you're here for what I do for the aspect of it being clean or the aspect of this not being heavy and not being...

whatever divisive or political, like that kind of stuff is that's the idea that I want to make with stuff. Vecchio was basically already that. Not everybody I was working with used to be clean. It doesn't really matter. But what I want to end up being like, well, if Nate lands on it, then you can know that if you like what I would do, that I'm going to give you that. And so...

i'll be able to give you i mean this is all new and you know but i'm so natalie if natalian's attached to it it's like you will know and like it's like i think with vecchione is like we're giving you the comedy that's not you know sometimes a clean comedy can be it's not a bad thing but it can be corny it can be it can be labeled as all these other kind of things yeah where ours will not be late it's not being about being labeled clean it's just it is it's just trying to be funny and we do it this way which is just a different way we're

We're just doing it a different way. And so we're not competing with the other people doing it the other way. No difference of that. So Vecchione's got a special together that he, and he'll be able to do it like that. And it's, it's going to be awesome. Unreal. Vecchione's someone that deserves all of this. Someone I can get behind wholeheartedly. We started with him 20 years. I mean, it's,

There's not many better than him. No one's as fun as Daniel. I mean, he's just a seasoned comedian. And so I want you to, you know, so yeah, you're hearing it now. We've not made it. I've not like posted on social. I'm not going to be, I don't know when I'll be posting it, but the tickets are on sale for that. And that'll be my first special. I'm directing it. That's awesome, man. What does that mean exactly? I don't know. I got to Google how to direct a standup special. Okay.

You got to get one of those chairs. I got to get one of those chairs. I believe it's the shots. It's knowing what to do and that stuff. I mean, we're doing it with 800-pound gorilla as well. So they know how to do this kind of stuff. So I'm not going in blind. I'm going with a company that this is what they do. So I'm relying on them a lot for the help. But I want to just start this kind of –

and this process to be like, I think, stuff we can create eventually, you know, who knows, like eventually not only shows, movies, like whatever it can be is like to be, create this kind of thing that whatever you're here, the reason you're here is like we just wanted to give you that. But I would not expect to make that big.

you know, but that, that, yeah, don't, that's exciting. No one really say anything about that. We'll keep it on the DL. Everybody that's listening. Let's just be, let's keep it all between us. That's during the Nashville comedy festival. That's during the Nashville comedy festival. The Vecchione, you can buy the tickets at Vecchione thing. Uh, but yeah, the Nate land idea is the first time I've said it.

is, uh, but that's the future and the idea with that. I'll have a much more announcement that might be probably the same kind of thing. And I, it could be six months from now. I mean, I don't know if I should, that's my plan, but I'm telling you, you guys here in England, y'all get to hear first. So just keep it between all of us. Uh,

Yeah, that's it. You have dates? Yes. This weekend, January 28th, 29th, I'm in Lowell, Arkansas at the Grove Comedy Club. First time headline in there. Oh. Pretty exciting. So I'm going to be there. Yeah, I think it's two shows. Come on out. I love to have people come. Yeah, I'll be in Indianapolis. If you're listening to this on Wednesday, any of us, I believe it's tonight, Indianapolis and then

Evansville, then two more Indianapolis, and then St. Louis, and then Columbia, Missouri. And then a bunch more dates are up. Go check them out. The shows have been fun. Go see everybody. Guys, you guys have always been super supportive of us, and none of that goes. We notice that. We always notice that, and we can't thank you enough. You're the reason we're here.
