Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds. At Mint Mobile, we like to do the opposite of what Big Wireless does. They charge you a lot, we charge you a little. So naturally, when they announced they'd be raising their prices due to inflation, we decided to deflate our prices due to not hating you.

That's right. We're cutting the price of Mint Unlimited from $30 a month to just $15 a month. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. $45 upfront payment equivalent to $15 per month. New customers on first three-month plan only. Taxes and fees extra. Speeds lower above 40 gigabytes. See details. Hello, folks. Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. Hello, folks. Welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Bargetzi, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, Dusty Slay, and Hey Bear.

Yeah. We pre-recorded this, if you're listening, so you know. I'm in... I am in... Got some noise going on out there. That's it. It sounds like... Sounds like they're doing it on purpose. Yeah. It was... Yes, Laura. What machine could be back there? I think it's a...

Like a, like a, whatever they call that, like small bulldozer thing. Yeah. I think that's what's going on. A bobcat? Yeah. A bobcat. Yeah. I've driven a bobcat. Oh yeah? Mm-hmm. That seems fun. Yeah, it was fun. I'd like to drive one. It was definitely fun. Yeah. It was fun when they were like, go get the bobcat. You were like, okay. Yeah. I don't, I don't remember really digging, but I remember moving it around. Yeah. And they allowed me to do that, which was nice. Yeah. Yeah.

I'd love to dig around. Even just drive, though, would be fun. But dig around. Digging around would be fun. Mess up some stuff. Yeah. Pull up a gas line. You know what I mean? Yeah, see what's under there. Yeah. So if you're listening to this, I'm about to record my special. And I'm in Phoenix, Arizona at the Celebrity Theater. So I think this is the week I recorded this weekend. So that's why I am not here.

So I don't know where you are at. I think I'm with Angela Johnson at, at the Tennessee theater in Knoxville and Walker theater in Chattanooga. Oh,

All right. That's fun. I'm in Phoenix, too, actually. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah. Are you coming? I have a corporate gig on Thursday. Yeah. I'll come by if there's an invitation. Yeah. I'll come by. You can come hang out that whole weekend. All right. Sounds good. What do you got that weekend? I'm staying in town. My siblings are coming in. We're just going to hang out. Oh, yeah. In Phoenix. Yeah, yeah. A lot of comics. We're going to hang out. All right. It'll be a fun trip. All right. I'll see you there. Oh, look at that. We're hanging out together. All right. Dusty, you're dead to me. Yeah. And...

Well, I'll be doing two nights back to back at the Grand Old Opry. Oh, nice. Yeah. That's nice. It's going to be a good time. Be a good time. I'll harass some country singers in there. Try to get them to take pictures with me and tell them I've been fans forever. Yeah. Did they? Yeah. I bet there people don't know if you're a singer or not too. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, they don't know what I'm up to in there. People normally don't talk to me until after I've done comedy. Yeah. And then everybody's my friend. But prior to, they're like, I don't know who this guy is eating all the popcorn back here. Yeah, just the confidence on this guy alone. Yeah. The audacity. For me, it's the opposite. Very friendly off the top. Before, they think Brian works there. Yeah. And after, they're like, well, he shouldn't work there. He shouldn't do anything in this building.

Start off with some comments from you guys. Rebecca Gee, or Gee, I found Nate in this podcast about two months before Dusty came on, and I was so bummed when he was announced as a new co-host. All right. Now...

I love Dusty and the dynamic of everyone. So fantastic. She came around. That was a real turnaround, huh? That was a real turnaround. Emotional rollercoaster for me. Yeah. Yeah. I was bummed too. Again, the opposite. Yeah. We were excited at first and now we're bummed. Yeah. Yeah. We're the, yeah. Ryan Coyle. Coyle. Coyle.

The podcast has become a great method to determine if I'm taking everything in life too seriously. I know that I'm good if I just let the wild inaccuracies go and enjoy the conversation for what it is. On the flip side, I know that I need to take it down a notch if I get frustrated with some of the things y'all say. So congratulations, gentlemen. In addition to entertainment, you can consider this podcast to be a public service. I like that. That's good. It's a good rule for all of us. Yeah, we're just having a good time, right? Yeah.

That's how you should live life. You got to just go, yeah. That is the hard part of life. You got to remember to enjoy the chaos and be like, God, didn't see that coming. Exactly. Because it is coming. Recognize that it's harmless and just enjoy the ride of it. Yeah, and not even specifically talking about that. I'm saying like- Oh, just in general. In general, you could go, I didn't expect this to happen. Mm-hmm.

Like you think, I don't know where I'm going to be at in five years. That's right. Or like, you know, it's that kind of stuff. And the chaos is coming. It always is. You know what I mean? It always is. There always is something coming that you're not going to like. But specifically this podcast, I had people message that like the bear episode where you guys argued how you could win a fight with a bear. Some people were so upset, they said, I had to stop watching the episode. Yeah.

Yeah, that shouldn't be. I'm like, whatever we say, generally do the opposite. And that's probably the accurate. Yeah, well, it's just the general rule of this is pure entertainment. So it's, I'm not, we, there, no one's, I've come to the conclusion though, that the people that think that it's nobody. And so when you address it, it's like, you're really hurting everybody else. So like when people talk about like the,

And not that stuff shouldn't be talked about, but the idea now that cancer culture, all this kind of stuff, there's a point where you've got to go, all right, we've talked about it. And everybody that is an active listener knows about it. And then the rest are like, you've got to quit. Who cares? It's whatever's on social media, whatever they're saying, there's a point of going. I mean, you can count the number of people. It's 10 people.

It's 50. It's 100. There's 300 and some million people in this country. You just got to be like, yeah, it's nobody. It's literally nobody. And all the people that...

You want to go after, like they're doing, they're selling out shows or their movies, movies are being watched or, you know, cause everybody else is like, oh yeah, I'm not, I don't, I'm just trying to like enjoy it. They, people are smart. Right. They're not dumb. That's the instinct though. Like you've had, I'm sure where it's like, everybody's having a great time in the crowd. Then there's the one guy. Yeah. One guy with his arms. Everybody's going to do it. Everybody goes, I've done it.

and I'm nowhere saying I'm perfect, but it's like, I just try to just like reminding yourself that you go, I'm not performing for that. Those people.

And so if you become about those people, then you're going to hurt the people that are there for the pure entertainment of hearing us argue that we could beat up a bear. Yeah. When there's one person in the crowd that looks miserable, I almost like it now. I'm like, just be miserable out there, dude. If you can't find any enjoyment in what's going on up here, that's on you, man. Just soak in it.

It really, it is like, you got to go, oh, and you, you got to look at yourself and just go, yeah, that is, I'm, I don't know why I'm not, I can't just enjoy it. But then, you know, but then there's a lot of people that are like that. A lot of people that like, I mean, Ryan saying that is great. Cause it's like, he realizes like, yeah, I gotta, cause it's not like it's about us. Yeah. It's about, so like in life, Ryan's like the people that he's around the most, you're going to be like, yeah, dude, he can't. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm so fired up all the time. And if Rebecca Gee can come around, we can all come around. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Gee-gee. Gee-gee.

Aaron Langkamp. Sounds like they're making fun of you. They are, yeah. Nate, every time you struggle through reading, it makes me feel good about myself. Just know that. I like that. There you go. You know, that's what we're here for. We're out here making people better. Making people better. They could be reading like me. William Deacon. This podcast is great in the same way Inside the NBA is great. Brian is Ernie Johnson. Constantly trying to keep the rest of the crew on topic.

That's good. All right. Yeah. I mean, I love in this fantasy scenario, you guys get to all be great NBA athletes, and I'm still the nerdy white guy with a receding hairline behind the desk. And I don't know who Ernie Johnson is. Yeah. But you still would be a better athlete. Have you seen this panel before, right, Dusty? I mean, this is like. Oh, yeah. I'm guessing Ernie's the guy with the bow tie. Yeah. I'm guessing I am Shaq. Yeah. Yeah. No. I'm Shaq or Charles Barkley. I think Dusty would be Shaq.

Just based on some of the beliefs. Yeah, I'm down with that. Yeah, I could see that. Also, Charles Barkley's an Auburn guy, though. He is. Turns out you know everything about this. Really flipped the script right there. I don't really know who this is. I watch it every night. Jodie Whittaker. This is the lady who brought Dusty Candy in Lexington. All right. Thank you, Jodie. All right.

I'm a nerd re-listening to old episodes, and this morning I'm listening to episode 31, Odd Jobs. Aaron says he did a lot of crazy stuff for money in college, like selling plasma and pawning stuff. Maybe that's how his glove wound up in the shop in Indiana. That's true. Might have been. I only pawned one thing. I pawned a tablet at a pawn shop there in South Bend. Like an iPad? Yeah, not an Apple, but.

Like a different one? Not like a tablet like I grew up with. Not a stone tablet. It's insane to me that you can even pawn off a tablet in college. Like that's the fact that tablets are that much in your life.

We didn't have stone tablets, but we had paper tablets. I learned to write my ABCs on a tablet. A paper tablet? You mean like a little chalkboard? Well, it was paper, though. It had the little lines. Yeah, like a road. You tear it off and you're done with it. I don't even know what you're talking about. I thought you were joking like Moses' Ten Commandments tablet. No. But you actually had a paper tablet. That's what we called it.

I don't think we ever called it anything. I don't remember specifically talking about it. It was probably phasing out by the time you guys got around. For me, it was peak. No, I was still in a lot of that stuff. It's just... Like handwriting tablet. It's crazy to be pawning off a tablet and I'm not talking to you and you're not a child. That's the thing. The way you say it, I feel like you should be 11. Yeah. That's how old we are. This was eight years ago.

Yeah, well, that's insane that eight years ago. What I'm curious about is what did you need money for so bad? Oh, we had like a party dance type where you brought a date and I had zero dollars. I mean, zero dollars. Because the trust fund didn't kick in? Just a little spoon. You were waiting.

If this date was tomorrow, I mean, we would fly there in a helicopter. Right, right. But right now. I sold a couple things. I did a couple other odd things. I scrounged together like 45 bucks, like enough to pay for dinner. How was the date? It was great. Like the next day you weren't like, man, I wish I had that tablet.

No, I think I did regret it. I wish I had gotten rid of the tablet. Yeah. Because I could have used it later, but I don't know. It's a fun story now. Was there a second date? No, this wasn't like I was taking a girl out on a date. It was just like a group. Everybody, you'd bring somebody. I got you. Yeah. And then you had to throw in. I had to pay for dinner for me and my date. Yeah. Yeah. How much was it?

$45. It was about $40. Yeah. It wasn't too expensive of a place. Yeah. He left a nice $5. Yeah. You got, yeah. 13%, 12%. It's one. Uh, yeah. What would that be? Uh, I'll take the porter house and show up at my house, my side salad. Got a good thing going over here. Uh,

Taylor Reynolds, our horses ate some poisonous grass. Sadly, we lost all four of them. It was devastating for our entire family. I just want to let Nate know that through the tears, I looked up at my husband and said, there's no way our friends are going to help us move them.

We both laughed, even though our hearts ached. That evening, our whole family watched the Tennessee Kids special. Even though this is a very hard time for all of us, Nate definitely helped us get through it. Well, that's very sweet to hear. That's cool. That's great. Man, there's poisonous grass. Yeah, I want to know more about this grass. Yeah. Yeah, who put it out there? You know what I mean? Yeah. Check your local mayors. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Homeowners Association. Yeah. Get rid of these horses here. Yeah. Yeah, you used to literally sell poison for gas, Dusty.

Do you think you might have had a small hand in this? Poisonous, what did you say? He said cell poison for gas, but I think he meant for grass. Did I say gas? Yeah.

Okay. Sorry. I mean, it was my job. So yeah, I was getting money to buy gas. So I was selling poison for gas. Yeah. That's what I meant. Yeah. Thanks, man. Maybe that worked. And by the way, I checked. By the time this comes out, no one's going to remember this, but our garbage collection, it is part of our taxes. We don't pay for that. Okay. So if that guy told you, well, I'll just not charge you this week. He just thought, let's see if this guy will go for it. I have two trash services that I physically pay for.

I feel like some people will do pay for it. Well, maybe you have something special, but HOA or something. Yeah, to get them to come back in the neighborhood, you got to...

You bribe him a little bit. Yeah, you got to give him, yeah, after fighting with him. He's outside of county lines. I don't know. But we don't. I used to live in Donaldson, very close to where you live now, and I never paid for it. Yeah. Are you in Davidson County? I am in Davidson County. We'll dig into this. Yeah, maybe I will dig into that. Yeah, that is crazy. I don't know. I've never known any of this. I don't think any of my neighbors are getting free trash pickups.

I think they tell you about it. I think they throw it in your face. Maybe it's the recycling you got to pay because that's not.

Maybe. Well, I don't do that. That's a privilege to recycle. Yeah. And it just gets thrown in the regular trash when you leave. Yeah, exactly. Same drug, picks up both. I mean, yeah. I feel like there's no way stuff gets recycled. There's just no way. Who knows? Have we talked about recycling? Did we talk about it? I don't think so. We should do one, an episode on recycling. I honestly, there's no, you can't convince me that recycling is a real thing. Uh-huh.

Where's that bottle going? I know where this one's going. It's going in the normal trash. Maybe glass. I could see you melting down glass and making something out of it, but not the plastic. I don't think they... You ever go to the airport and you see those trash cans? Yeah, and they're separated. You had a joke about it, didn't you? Yeah. It's like recycle and regular trash. Then you look in there, it goes in the same bag. They're doing that...

brazen about it that they go, yeah, I don't, we don't even care if you know.

This is the same bag. I didn't realize it was the same bag. I just look in, and there's paper and plastic in both of them. I'm like, well, why does it matter? They look like the same trash. It's the same bag. Okay. It's just one bag. I mean, it gets sided because this side gets this and this side. So someone's going through that and cutting it and then separating? No. No way. No way. Come on. Who has the time? I mean, even if they're separated in the thing, yeah. I mean, I don't think...

I don't think they're recycling. I don't even think they are either. Yeah. Ben Shaw. I played golf with Barry Sanders once. Barry Sanders. And most instinctive fast twitch athlete of our lifetime. Does not translate to golf. He was a great player and the best guy ever, but took like a full minute over the ball. All right. Oh, boy. Yeah, it sounds like stuff you wouldn't have been able to say 15 years ago.

But if a bear came out. Most instinctive fast twitch athlete. Yeah, I don't know. It's also, you're like, I don't, can we read? Ben? Oh, my glasses. I don't wear glasses. He is the, yeah. I asked Rogan, and he said, if bears could beat a bear, and he goes, no. That's it.

He didn't entertain it at all. He's done full episodes. Yeah, he wasn't even. I thought I was like, I'm going to have a little fun. He's like, nah. He's like, Brian, just step on that right away. There you go. Me and Rogan knows what's going on. Willer Garrett. I am from Auburn, Dusty's neighboring town, and rival high school. All right.

I was at a game my freshman year at Opelika's Stadium, and a big fight broke out in the stands during which someone yelled, gun! That sounds about right. Everyone fled the stadium, and the game was canceled. We later heard that the person who was suspected of having a gun was found in Western Sizzlin'. All right. Is it Sizzlin' or Sizzler? Sizzlin'. That's where he worked. Yeah, he used to work there a bit.

Was there a Western Sizzler? Yeah. No, it was Sizzler. I think Sizzler is on the West Coast. The Sizzler. The Sizzler. This is Western Sizzling. Western Sizzling after the game. This was the first and only time I've ever heard of Western Sizzling. I'm curious to hear what Dusty thinks of kids from Auburn High School and the Auburn Opelika rivalry. You know, there's a couple of people I like from Auburn, you know, growing up. But for the most part, I didn't care for them.

They felt like they were, you know, in the Lee County area, Auburn always felt like they were better than Opelika. Yeah. And they might have been. A little more pretentious. Yeah. Opelika was the more blue collar. Yeah. Okay. But we had a good time. Were they in trailers over there? There's some trailers over there. They act like there's not. Yeah. But, I mean, you know, Opelika's just got. You are proud of the trailers. Yeah, we got a little more going on. I mean, we got a Western Sizzling on our side. Yeah. You know. Were you there when the gun came in?

Well, I mean, that's just one instance. There were guns in and out of Western Sizzling all the time. That wouldn't have even hit the newswire. Yeah, see, this is an Auburn guy coming to Opelika being like, there was a fight and there was a gun and a Western. And I'm like, yeah, every day. Yeah. This is Opelika life. He's like, do you remember it? And you're like, why would I? Right. I could never remember it. Yeah, try to narrow it down for me. Yeah. You know, there's fights all the time. Yeah. Western Sizzling. Yeah. Yeah.

Just a buffet style, right? Yeah. Weighted tables in there. We had steaks too. Yeah. You know. That's where the guy sweated into the green beans. Exactly. A lot of stuff going on over there. Yeah. You have to be willing to fight. If you're sweating into green beans, you just got to know. I mean, I'm probably going to get. I mean, customers aren't far from wanting to fight you as their waiter in there. Yeah.

For not bringing the yeast roll fast enough. Yeah. I mean, it's a very aggressive. It's at all just very condescending talking back and forth. It's like, where's the yeast roll? I tell you what, we should be holding off on the yeast roll. And then there's a lot of that. Yeah, exactly that. I mean, especially because it was mostly older women that worked there. And so the dudes that came in there were older, like trucker type guys. And they wanted to flirt with the waitresses.

So when they got a 17-year-old kid with bleach blonde hair waiting on them, a boy, they were like, get out of here. They're not having it. Yeah, I just realized when we were down there, my wife's friend, Gigi, was here. And he was like, we have a lot of Alabama here in this house right now. A little too much. A little too much. Yeah. I handle one.

I got it. I got one under control. I can't be. Yeah. Y'all start teaming up on us in here. I don't know if I care for it. And Cole's down there now. Yeah, Cole's at Auburn. Your neighbor, Felix. They're all in their Alabama. It's too much. Yeah, we're really creeping on up there. Y'all really getting in. You're getting in. Yeah. That's what we do. Global warming bringing us on up. Yes. As it gets hotter in Alabama, we're making our way up. That's true. You know what I mean? Yeah.

I read the number one poll. Global warming is Alabama's number one fear. Absolutely. The most worried about it. Yes. Spencer, I'm going to start. It's going to be my most worried. I'm not trying to make fun of it, but I think it's a fun one to be. What are you most worried about? Global warming? Just walk away. Climate change? You can say that, or global warming sounds more...

I would, if they go climate change, I'd go global warming. I would say that. Specifically. I don't care about the snow. Yeah. They go, but global warming is also climate change. I'd go, just global warming. I go, you worry about what you want to worry about. I'm sorry I don't have the time to worry about multiple things. I'm focused on global warming. One thing at a time, buddy. Have you been to Alabama? It's hot down there. It's hot.

Spencer Kennedy. At a basketball tournament in high school, the locker room they gave our team was a creepy room in the school's basement with a single toilet in it.

No dividers or doors around it, just a toilet in the middle of the room. Did warm-ups. I ran down to use the restroom. Since everyone else was out of the room, about a minute later, the entire team came back in, coaches and all. And having to sit there and finish my business in a room full of people is, to this day, the most awkward thing I've ever experienced. Man, that's so – that is great. Just one in the – I mean, just the whole team walking in, and you're just sitting there.

Was he not on the team? He was just somebody there watching the game? No, he said they gave our team. So he was on the team. But he's like, oh, let me just jump in there. Yeah, he just slid away. Yeah, he goes, oh, y'all practicing. I'll go in there. And then everybody's like, all right, we did great out there, boy. And then you got to sit there and you're like –

And then they don't leave. Dude, we had... That just reminded me. That's like an awkward... Like, you want to stop and go, hey, everybody get out. Yeah. And there's almost... People are too uncomfortable to know what to do. So they try to act like it's normal. And it should have been like, all right, the coach. The coach has got to read the room. Hey, let's wrap it up, boys. Let's go back out. That was... This is...

Spencer's not done. And he goes, this bathroom's by the concessions. All right, go ahead. Do what you do. I remember one. I don't remember where exactly, but in a way locker room, high school football, they had a single stall just out in the open, but it didn't go up to the ceiling. It was like...

If you were sitting in there, your kind of eyes could look over it. Oh, no. Like the neighbor from Home Improvement. Yeah. And just watch it. People have to use the bathroom. You could just make eye contact with- In a locker room? In a locker room. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sitting down. It was that low. Oh. Yeah. It's funny. In elementary school, they had taken all the stalls off the toilets, and there was just three toilets there. Oh. I remember walking in. I was a little kid. He was a little kid. Yeah. Where'd you go to school? Prison? Yeah. Yeah.

And this guy, Opelika, and this guy was on the toilet and he's like, oh, this is so embarrassing. And I remember just continuing to pee at the urinal. Yeah. Like being like, yeah, it is. I don't know what to do. Yeah. So I'm already, so it's like, I kind of feel this basketball team where they're like, yeah, this is weird for you, but we don't know what to do. Yeah. Yeah. Do we all leave? Yeah. It's weird. Yeah.

It doesn't make a lot of those noises. I think the bathroom should all be required to blare music. I agree with that, too. There's a great Todd Glass joke where he says every time he walks out of the bathroom, he hits the air dryer and he goes, you're welcome. It's very funny. I'll play a song on my phone.

Yeah. Out loud with no... Oh, yeah. Yeah, as loud as it can. If you're the one in the stall? What? If I'm in the stall. See, I always say that. I hear people watching videos and you want to be like, you're not in your house. Like...

Well, I play music. I always play the same song, actually. Horse with No Name by America. Wow. You should play the Titanic song as the boat goes down. Whatever that song is. My heart will go on? No, I'm talking about the one that they played as the ship. Oh, Nearer My God to Thee? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I don't know. I try to find a song that's not embarrassing that all ages are going to like. So I throw that one on. Just to drown out the sound. Just for everybody's benefit. People appreciate it. If I'm on the toilet in the stall and then a guy comes and sits next to me and then America, Horse With No Name starts playing, that just...

I don't know. That's a hot song. You should play Lee Greenwood. Or Lee, what's his name? Greenwood? Proud to be an American. Proud to be an American. I mean, you'll get people fired up. Oh, yeah. Like, that's how you should play that, and you see a couple people stand up. Yeah.

And they take their hat off and he goes, Stall's beside you. Stall's next to you. They stand up and they go, man, I'm proud. I think you could play that song and I think the whole restroom would sing. I'm going to try that again for sure. I think everybody would sing. And I think they'd wait for you to come out and they'd shake your hand before you wash them. They go, I haven't washed them in a day. American like that. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Thank you, sir. There he goes. I would put headphones in and play music.

and drown it out for me. I mean, I'm not... Well, that's drowning it out for your own benefit. I know, but I feel like that's annoying. I know, but I don't want to watch your... I just don't think... I feel like it's too... I know too much about you in there if you're doing something. If I hear your video you're watching, you're like, all right, dude, I'm not trying to be drawn into your world. Sure. I understand what we're trying to do here. But I'm not watching a video. I'm just putting on some tunes. Yeah. Yeah.

If I walk into a quiet bathroom, I see feet in there. I'll just immediately flush the urinal just to get some sound going in there. Just to get it moving. Just to get some ambient noise. Like a comic that walks on stage and goes, all right, we got something moving now. You're just saying a couple things. You go, where'd you get that shirt? Walmart? All right, everybody. Just trying to get things going. Give it up for yourselves for coming out. Let's get some claps going. Let's get some energy in here. You bring me that energy, I'll bring you this energy.

I'll walk across a whole airport to find the least... A quiet one. Yeah. And Lowe's, and the Lowe's Home Depot days, I mean, people are always blowing up those bathrooms. I mean, nonstop. And people will just be in there taking calls. You'll be on, and they'll be like, oh, yeah, I got a job coming. And they're like, just...

conducting business. Yeah, I've seen people do that. That's insane to me. While all the stalls are full and it just smells awful and the guys just conduct. I'm like, what have you been eating? I love what, yeah, well, I mean, they're eating, you know, it's like when you're,

You get up and go eat out of a truck. You go stop and you're going to Hardee's or you're going to- It's a hot dog from a gas station. Or a hot dog from the Home Depot stand outside. Yeah, you live a life that you don't get the privilege to choose your bathroom. They eat a chili dog. The bathroom chooses you. They eat a chili dog on the way to the bathroom. Yeah, you just, it's a zoo. All right. The bathroom chooses you.

Rhonda Nolan, dusty fighting about our Lord Jesus Christ in a bar is the most Southern way to spread the gospel. Amen. You know what I mean? There you go. You gotta get it out. You gotta get it out. Yeah. You gotta let them know. Don't get up in my face about it. Doesn't, yeah. It doesn't matter how it gets there. Yeah. The other people around witness. Yeah. Yeah. They just don't talk about the times that Jesus gotten fights. Exactly. Uh,

Senator Sarah Crawford? Yeah. Is it? Whoa. She's a North Carolina state senator. I'll look her up. Wow. How about it? I mean, we're making moves. Yeah. We're affecting what senators do, what effect they have. My mom loves the Chick-fil-A cups because they, I almost said, insult her soda better. What is this?

They go, what do we got over here, Dr. Pepper? Loser. All right, Chick-fil-A. Take it down a notch. My mom loves the Chick-fil-A cups because they insulate her soda better, but their drinks are more expensive. My parents aren't rich, but they definitely aren't broke. However, every Tuesday, my mom drives to Chick-fil-A and gets a Diet Coke and saves the cup all week long and goes to McDonald's to fill up on a dollar soda.

transferring into her Chick-fil-A cup. I only found this out because she once told me to be careful with her Chick-fil-A cup on a Saturday because you can't get a new one for a few days. That's pretty awesome. Yeah, I kind of like it. I mean, I get the idea that it's insane, but it's like, you know, your mom beat the system and you want to keep that rolling. I think I have a weird thing. I don't want a different soda inside the cup of a

I don't even like, if I have a McDonald's cup, I don't like to pour a bottle of

Of like diet Coke. Of the same soda in it? Yeah. No. I'm like, it's McDonald's soda. That's what I'm drinking when I'm done with it. I'm done with the cup and everything. Is there some kind of actual reason for that? Or is it the principle of the thing or what? I think it just tastes, yeah. It's something like it tastes weird. So if I was Chick-fil-A and I liked their soda, as she does too, it's just, it's expensive. But I feel like you could be a Chick-fil-A commercial with this, you know?

I hope that her parents will carry this over, this thirstiness into the government. Well, I was thinking that's it. That's what she should say. Senator Crawford should go, yeah, I'd say to my mom. And we need to do that now with taxes. Exactly. So what do we go do? Take it into other places? Yeah, grab it, save it, take a little bit.

Yeah, take less. I don't like... Yeah, I like my... If I get McDonald's, I want a McDonald's cup. I don't want a McDonald's soda in a different cup. If I get Chick-fil-A, if I get Arby's, if I get anything, I want what's in the... I want where it came from. How often does that come up? More than you think, but... Where you're in multiple restaurants with other... No, I mean, it's...

It's really like if I drink the soda too fast and then I want to put more in. So I wouldn't want to drink that. I want to drink that Diet Pepsi in that bottle. Okay. I don't necessarily want to go drink it separate, outside of the thing. Interesting. I like the packaging. It all comes in. I drink the cans. I can sometimes drink cans out of, if they're super cold, I could pour a can into a glass. I'll have that downstairs. But a lot of times I'll just drink out of the can.

I do that too. Sometimes if I get a Diet Coke on a plane, they give you the can and then they give you a cup with, like, I don't need that. Yeah. I'll drink it out of the can. I'll drink it out of that cup. I like the ice. Somebody told me not to get ice on a plane. Yeah. I eat all the ice on the plane. I've heard that. Apparently it's very dirty. There's no way to. What's not dirty? I think you're right. I think you're probably right about that. I eat the ice. I eat a ton of it. Uh-huh.

More ice for me, please. And I've heard that. I ask for the most ice. And I've heard that. Do you ever say the most ice? I'll take a good bit of ice. And then when I'm done with it, I give it back and I go.

A little more ice. I like the cran apple. I could drink those cran apples. I haven't had that. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. It's like cranberry and apple. I mean, it's... I figured that. Talk about a cheat day. Is it a juice? Ocean spray? Oh, yeah. Cran apple. Oh, my gosh. Come on. Cheat day. Is that an unhealthy drink?

Yeah. It's just sugar, I bet. I've learned with like, especially counting calories, you start going, you're like drinking your calories is just, it's like, what are we doing? You can't, that just, you're, it's once you start having to, once you pay attention to your calories, you're like, your food's already going to go down. And you're like, I can't be wasting this nonsense on, I used to drink so much of those on a plane.

I think I have a much bigger food problem than I've ever even realized I had. But I used to drink these on every flight.

And I would drink three, four of them and never just bat an eye. And then in your head, you're thinking, well, I'm not drinking alcohol. You kind of think this other stuff. I mean, I don't know how many calories it is, but I would drink three, four cans of them. And it's like, I mean, that's got to be... Yeah, and the idea is that it's juice, so it's okay. Yes. But it's so bad. And it's just, yeah. Yeah.

It's just the count. Like, yeah, it says 110 and whatever, but I'm drinking per serving eight ounces. I think I'm drinking more than eight ounces.

It's a lot, but it's, man, that stuff is nice. The carbs, the carbs. Yeah. Hey, this week, because we're recording this special, and this is my Saturday after the taping of the special. People come to the show, we're doing two shows Friday, two shows Saturday. Not taping Friday, but I'll be running, I mean, it'll be as if we're, I'm running it, like, I'm running it that way now. Yeah.

but I have been for a long time and Saturday we're taping, but Saturday after that big cheat day, big, that Saturday and Sunday is going to be nice. Do you know what you're doing yet? Or are you just going to shoot from the hip? I got some ideas. Uh, you're going to have a good source here. Oh yeah. That's what I'm saying. You should stay. Bring in a professional. If you want to, you should, you should stay. Cause you should stay there that Saturday and then Sunday come and stay too. Cause Sunday's going to be a fun day. It's going to be fun. All right.

And I mean, it's something afterwards is maybe some cake, chocolate cake and ice cream. Some along those lines. You know, food wise, it's like maybe I'll get a McDonald's right after. So I'll eat McDonald's and some chocolate cake and ice cream. You know, obviously Sour Patch Kids would just be around. That's an all day. Yeah. Haribo, like all gummy stuff is just, I'm not even including it. That's understood. That stuff will be very grabbable.

And then the next morning, I'm like in between, like I want pancakes, you know, or French toast, but I also want donuts. So I might go somewhere and get some French toast and pancakes. Maybe they have a donut. And then I'll do that kind of route.

And so that'll be pretty fun. And then, yeah, for lunch, you know. You need to weigh in before you do all this. See how much I gain. I mean, I didn't eat good when we were in Hawaii. And I mean, I only gained like a couple pounds. So this will be like a day and a half. Did you hit your goal, though, or the goal you and I set? I'm at 165. I think that's what we. I think that was our goal. Yeah. Yeah. So you did it. One of us took it serious and one of us didn't. What are you not at 165? I haven't changed a bit. I'm right where I started, about 185.

Well, you just have a kid. I was doing pretty good, and then the baby comes along. Those late-night feedings, you're just like, I'm eating whatever. I want to eat. Yeah. You got to do that stuff. And then, yeah, I'm down. I mean, 30 pounds. That's great. That's awesome, man. And I'm trying to keep going. I'm going to go. Go until it's a problem. Disappear. I want to go. I think my build is probably in the 150s.

What's funny is you realize your build. I realize that's how much... Your body is... Whatever size you are. You're a big dude, but you're never going to be... I'm never going to be a 130 guy. You're never going to be a 130 guy. You would look sick and it'd be bad. Everybody's build is how they are. Even when I was at my most, which I never saw myself way over 200. I saw 198.

But I'm sure I was over 200. But I mean, that's about the most I can probably... I mean, I could probably go more, but it would be... I don't know if I would even know how to go more. And so that was it. And then so now you're kind of going like, all right, well, yeah, I'm not... I'm 5'11". I'm not a big dude. So my frame would be very small. Everything's our family. Everything's very skinny on us except our stomach.

It all just builds there. And so, yeah, I think I want to see what in the fifties look, I don't know what number it'd be if it's one 53 or if it's one 55, 58, like, I don't know what I want to see what I can kind of get to. Cause you're here. Cause the hardest part is getting to that weight. That's the hardest part is getting down though. When you first go, I want to get to a weight and I want to see what it is. That's the part that you're like, it's not, it's not fun. It gets hard. Uh,

Yeah, but you're going to, you know, like when I was in Maui, you just, you don't, I don't eat as much as I did. And then you start knowing, you start feeling stuff more. So I just, like when we were in Maui, it's like, yeah, I started feeling very tired. I mean, and then you're like, I don't want to feel tired. I mean, look, Phoenix could be, if I wake up tired that next day and I'm in theory, I want to eat something bad, but you're like, I also don't want to just go lay in a bed. I want to have fun and go do stuff. So it's going to be, you know, you just learn that your body like,

Kind of figure out, but the hard part is getting to it. Counting those calories, getting down to it. Then after that, I think you're like, all right, then you can, you know, if you want to work out and try to add some muscle and blah, blah, whatever you want to go do, but you'll be eating. And I'm now I'm just built. I'm kind of aware we had kind of a big lunch today.

And so like... You're feeling it right now? No, no, I'm okay. Yeah. But it's... It's a relatively healthy meal. Yeah. We just had... Chicken salad chick. Yeah. I can take a nap. Yeah. Chicken salad chick's great. I love it. I love them. It's so good. And then so... But I... No onions in it. It's just a dream. I like a lot of stuff. You don't throw onions in it, man. I'm on board. But like with that, like that was a big meal. I bet that was...

You know, that salad with the grape side and the broccoli side, which is they're too great. I mean, I probably had to be between 800. Yeah. You know, maybe you can say 1,000 if I'm being crazy. So, I mean, for me, I'm at 1,500 calories right now. So, I don't have 500 left. 700 if it's 800 calories. So, I'll just have to eat like a somewhat reasonable dinner. There you go. And save some Halo Top. Boom. All right.

Kevin Chambers, a few weeks back, a listener wrote in and asked why Nate doesn't play in the celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe. It just so happens I've worked tournament operations for the American Century Championship the past 10 years, so I instantly ran the idea up the chain of command. I have received confirmation that Nate will be invited if the dates work for him. I'd say bait your caddy, but yikes, Aaron Breakfast, Dusty and Nate, thanks for all the laughs, fellas. Hey, Bear.

That's crazy. Yeah. And that was a comment. I am playing in it next year. That's awesome. I'm seeing this now. So this is out. I mean, I'm reading this was August 15th is when we recorded this. So this is a month from then. But that's crazy to find out like that. Yeah. And you would think for someone like that, someone's going to say that, you're like, well, that's not true.

You're like, who is Kevin Chamberlain? You know, you might like be like, well, I haven't confirmed him, but I've, you already knew it. Yeah. But yeah, that was like, I don't know if I'm supposed to, but I, I mean, it's like, I don't, I don't know. Me and Kevin both might get kicked off of American city championship, but I know I, uh, yeah, I just found out. Oh, well, congratulations. There you go. That's awesome. Yeah. Oh yeah. That's the dream. I hope Jamie Johnson's there.

Let me say something. Yeah. Jamie Johnson. Jamie Johnson. Yeah. Yeah. Singer. Singer. Yeah. Yeah. Songwriter. Okay. Yeah. Honky tonk. Well, he wrote that, but that's the most uncharacteristic. Totally. But that's the song. Most people know. Yeah. He's very famous. Yeah. But I'm going to say poor man's blues or what do you want me to say? I want to talk about golfing. Yeah. Yeah.

So awesome. Thank you, Kevin. Kevin could be, you know. In color. Yeah, I want to surprise you. Thank you. Well, that is a surprise. It is a surprise. It's crazy to see this. Yes, I might have acted like, I mean, I just, I literally got the email this week. I saw that last night. Oh, really? So I just, yeah. Yeah, I got it this week.

Which is, yeah. Yeah, that's great. Big time, man. Huh? Huh? Time to play. Dusty, you got to get into golf, man. I have some Nate Land stuff. I need to wear, like, you know, I'll get some, you know what I'll get? Like, you can put, like, on your golf ball, you can get golf balls that have them marked. And I should get, because I always think, like, I don't ever know a good marking to put on it. Like, if you put Nate or whatever, but you could put Haybear. Haybear would be fun. Yeah. Yeah. Hello, folks, maybe.

Hey bear, like a logo on it. Yeah. Yeah. Hey bear is really taken off. Like, like really like, like people in my, in one of my shows in the audience yelled out, Hey bear. Yeah. I'm like just mid show. We're not even, not even at the beginning, just mid show. Yeah.

They're kind of bored. I guess so. I guess so. They were just like, let's get this thing going here, dude. Hey, bear. All right. Look at us now. We're moving. We're moving. Somebody's awake. My mom came to see me in Columbus. Had a guy get kicked out.

I kicked the guy out. All right. Love that. While I was on stage. And it was kind of cool for me because I saw my mom after the show. I was like, well, now you're seeing real. Yeah. Yeah. She's seen me open for you. She's seen me do a church with John. I go, but this is a club. I'm kicking people out. Yeah. She's like, I've never seen that. Yeah. Guy just kept yelling out stuff. I was like, I hate to. Like-

From the podcast or from... No, no. It wasn't that. This was not a podcast. He was yelling the F word repeatedly. Yeah. So you sure not... To a folk. Yeah. I actually said that on stage. I go, do you know me from the Dateland podcast? And that got a laugh from a few people. Yeah. But that guy just kept yelling it after like the fourth time. I was like, all right, dude. You got it. You got to leave. What was the context though? Just, he was just cussing at you? I like what Dusty brought up. Yeah.

It was... No, I believe that you should kick him out. Right. I'm still on the fence. It began as an answer to a rhetorical question that I was about to answer myself. Okay. It was kind of funny the first time because it was so just random. Oh, but that's it. He got a laugh out of you. And then he's like, oh, I'm helping this guy. He got a laugh and everybody turned around being like, what? Yeah. And then he was drunk and...

I think it had taken some other stuff too. Is this Columbus, Ohio or Columbus, Georgia? It's Columbus, Ohio. Okay. Columbus, Georgia. I wouldn't even have to say that. You just know that that happened at the show. Yeah. You couldn't get him kicked out because the rest of the audience would be doing that. They wouldn't be able to pinpoint. I don't know where it's coming from. Right. Have you told that story about the clean versus the dirty?

Oh, no, I don't think so. But yeah, Columbus, Georgia is where my dad first saw Me Bomb. And I was just featuring. Is this the first time you met your dad? Yeah, yeah. Sorry. And the host, she comes out and every time I'd been there, she goes, I want to do a toast. And she goes, y'all want a clean one or a dirty one? And every time the audience would yell dirty. So she would proceed with her dirty toast. But like my dad brought a little crew. Yeah.

So when she went out and goes, y'all want it clean or dirty? They go, clean. And she just blanks. Like no one's ever asked for the clean toast before. And so that's how the show started. And then it just went downhill. Did she have a clean toast? She did come up with something. She bumbled around and came up with something. Do you remember her name? Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. I did a show there. Very nice lady. Yeah, she was very nice. A little bit.

Me and a guy named Muttsy, and all three of us are white. Oh, yeah. I know Muttsy. Yeah. I don't know Muttsy. Yeah. I did a cruise with Muttsy. He kills. He shows a big flashlight in the crowd, does crowd work, and I mean, murders. Shines the flashlight on who he's talking to. Oh, really? Have I ever talked about Muttsy on here? No, I don't think so. That's what Columbus means. The cruises? That's the one where you got on the elevator, right? I got nailed. The show didn't go good. Oh, I didn't know you were with Muttsy. Yeah, but Muttsy was...

I knew him just that weekend. Uh,

And I just remember talking to him and he was just talking about he's working these cruise ships and he's like, I got money in the bank. I got money for my daughter now. He's doing comedy for a long time and he had a good thing at the cruises. And I remember just being like, I was pretty new when I was doing them. And I remember just thinking, it almost leveled me out just to go like, yeah, man, if I can get to this point to be like, Mutsy wasn't.

You know, he's not like he's saying I want this or that. He's just like, I finally have some money in the bank. And like, you know, I've been doing it for this long. But he would go on stage and tell... So he had Flashlight, does all crowd work. And I mean, he would just destroy the crowd work. And then I remember he told everybody, that's one where he goes... Because people would come to different shows. You do a cruise ship, you do five shows. And supposedly, you know, it's like two clean, three dirty. I never even have dirty material. So I just...

was all clean. And then, uh, but you did cruises. Yeah. Okay. And then, uh,

And then he'd go, you can come to any of my shows. He would tell me, he goes, come to any show. They're all different. And so I heard him say that. Then I had to go, you cannot come to every single show of mine. Two of them will be different. The rest of them are going to be basically the same. So make sure you pick wisely. Don't be showing up every day thinking I have a new act. I mean, I just told him that because they were going to go to him because he would have a new act.

It's just fun. He's great. He kills. Yeah. This week, since I am in Arizona, taping a special, Celebrity Theater, in the round, we're going to talk about Arizona. Yep. You'll be in Phoenix, right? I'll be in Phoenix. The hottest state in the United States. Well, you know, since we're talking about people getting kicked out of the club and we're talking about Arizona, me and Aaron were in Phoenix, right?

at one of the rowdiest shows I think I've ever had. I mean, there was two tables, big tables right up front, just talked the entire time. And then I tried to do crowd work with them, and the guy looked up at me, and he was like, his face, he was so wasted that you could see that he wasn't

He could not banter with him. He wasn't there. He was blacked out. Yeah. And like a guy from the club goes, some of these guys are on their fourth warnings or something. That's right. It's like, how many warnings are we giving around here? The host is on stage and we can hear, and we hear within 30 seconds, the host goes, y'all better stop doing this before the next comics come out. Like, you can do it with me. They were like, okay, right away. It's a problem.

Yeah, that's where the guy's like, look, we're lucky we have these guys. Yeah, he's doing all that. And then I go out and this woman's filming me in the front with her flash on. And so I walk over and I'm not having a great set. I walk over, I go, hey, can you stop filming me, please? And she goes...

okay, it wasn't funny anyway. And I was like, well, then definitely turn it off. Why are you filming it if it's not even fun? I mean, I had to ask them to kick people out of there. Now, the club was very nice about it, but there was just a miscommunication in the club. They were very nice about it. People apologized to me. Everything was fine. I legitimately heard Dusty from the stage at the Griever. I just heard him go,

Man, I am not having a good time. Yeah, yeah. He was not having a good time. It was so bad. And then later that night in Phoenix, there was a shooting outside of his hotel. It was a wild night. Something was in the air. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Well, Phoenix is the hottest city in the United States. Yeah. It was hot. It was hot already. Yeah. Yeah.

I went there one time with you, Stand Up Live, and we didn't see this, but right before, I think we had been there a couple days before, they have these things called Haboobs. Are you familiar with this? Yeah, can you tell us about that?

Say it again before I type this in. Read it in a sentence. Say it in a sentence. Yeah. A haboob is a sandstorm or dust storm that goes through Arizona. And it is amazing, the video. They look crazy. Is that how you would say it in a sentence? That would be illegal, right? Or would you? Like if you say... Oh, you mean like... Is it...

You mean like on a spelling bee? Yeah, I guess or something. They go use it in a sentence and then you just get the sentence is the definition. You would be like, a boob covered me with sand. Yes. Or you say, John saw a boob. I'm being too specific. John saw her boob the other day. What is this show? Dirty spelling bees.

Well, anyway, yeah, there's video of them just blanketing. And there was one just recently? There was one a few days before we got there, I think, and they were talking about it. And, I mean, you see it coming in, but it's just crazy. How much time do you have to get inside when you see this? About an hour. I do think you have a pretty big heads up. Okay. Well, it starts, yeah, it's coming. It builds in the distance. It's like a tidal wave. You know, you know it's coming. Yeah, I mean, there's video of it. You can go look it up. But, like, if you're inside, you're okay? Yeah.

Or does it destroy the house? Yeah. There's one of the Mission Impossibles, I think. Tom Cruise is on that super tall building. Burj Khalifa. And there's, wasn't there one rolling in? And there's a Haboob coming in. I don't think they call it that in the movie, but I'm definitely going to call that now. Yeah. And he was fun. Yeah.

In fact, I mean, that's the fact that that was the reference to the question. Yeah, that's safe. I mean, Tom Cruise was on the Burj Khalifa. Was Tyrannosaurus Rex, was that really a mean dinosaur? He goes, dude, Chris Pratt was fine. Barney Rubble. Yeah, I don't know if you watched Jurassic Park, but he touched him like on his nose and he didn't do anything.

Yeah, I mean, they were friends. Yeah. I was still trying to reference more of how far away you see them coming in. Right, right. Yeah, you can see. I mean, look, Tom Cruise got a pretty good running start on this one. He loves it around. Yeah, he knew. He does love to run. They told him he was coming, but he still didn't know. The heat in Arizona is crazy. I was just there two weeks ago. It was about 115 degrees during the day. I'm literally getting alerts to my phone saying, you should not go outside.

From Lucy? That's what you call alert. You call your wife alert. Lucy alert. Yeah, Lucy alert. What's that? Pick up the mail. This is legit. You know, like you get like an Amber alert. I'm getting those kind of automated alerts. Heat warnings. Heat warnings, yeah. And the crazy thing about it for me was that it almost like it had nothing to do with the sun, the heat. Because I walked back to the club, Steve Byrne and I walked back one night,

At like 1030 at night, it's dark outside and it's 109 degrees when it's dark.

I bet the sun still matters a little bit. Well, you think it would matter more than six degrees of heat. You think it would cool down quite a bit. Yeah, I thought it was more. I think the sun has to have all to do with it. I'm sure the sun is involved. I'm just saying it's crazy that it's still that hot at night. Yeah. That's the way you should say it. That's the way I should word it. You shouldn't go, I'll tell you what, the sun. I thought it was the sun. Overrated. Was I wrong? Yeah. The moon. Yes.

Twice as hot. I mean, are you kidding me? The stars. All these stars out here. It's like, what are they, next door? I mean, good night. You're right. You're right. You're right. I thought because they're low humidity, it actually cooled off quicker there than it did here. But I guess I'm wrong. A little debate. Well, it's hot. Let's go back to the guy that doesn't think the sun causes heat.

I'm saying obviously it does, but it just feels as if it does. Yeah. It's a different, the dry heat thing, I mean, if no one's ever felt it,

When you go feel it, if you're from the South, I mean, it's crazy. Yeah. Because you will think, I'm all right. Totally. I've golfed in 115 degrees. And you just go like, I'm fine. And then you'll be like, I'm not even thirsty. I'm not sweating. Everything's fine. And then, I mean, you just have to die. Yeah, you will die. Because you have no idea that your body is so hot. It's so hot, yeah. I've been out there. I kind of felt myself like cumming.

like cooking from the inside out after a while being outside, like almost like a microwave. Like my bones are hot. Yeah.

I did have cheeks on. I was not happy about it. You know what I started doing? I started flying in shorts. Oh, wow. It was a big jump for me. That is crazy. Because there's an episode of Caribbean Enthusiasm where he calls a guy out for wearing shorts on the plane. Yeah. He has a little travel tip. You should wear long pants. And I've worn long pants since then. But to Phoenix, I wore shorts, and I'm a big fan of it. Change the game, dude.

Yeah. Change the game. I'm freezing on an airplane, so I wear pants. I'm trying to point. The other two people fall asleep. I'm trying to align the air thing towards me without them seeing. So this is good. So if anybody's ever flown to Aaron and never said anything, just know Aaron, he has some plans. Oh, yeah. I need all that air, but not as much now that I'm wearing shorts. Yeah. What shoes do you wear? Like sneakers. Yeah. Tennis shoes. You think you could go no socks?

No, no. I always wear socks in public. Yeah. I don't have the feet for that. But I'm pretty aware of what I would you wear socks and sandals on a plane. I would slides like I'm wearing right now. Really? Yeah. That's a lot.

I don't know. Yeah, see, I'm not a big fan of shorts. Where you're sitting, no. But it's... Southwest middle C? No, it's expected. No. Yeah. I'm not a big... I would say... I've wore shorts, like, flying forward. I always think it's funny because it's like where someone's going in their head, they dress for that at the place that they're at. Yeah. So you see them, like, you know, they'll be like... When we went to Hawaii, you're, like, seeing people, like, they get on a plane, they have a tank top. Or when they...

land or something they're like they're they're they're they're whatever they have their tank top and they're like i don't know why dude like flip-flops tank top and then you're like you're on a plane for six hours and you're like it's freezing like i don't care if you're on a plane for that long it gets chilly okay i think imagine two tank tops in in like the you know in your rubbing up skin shoulders yeah and you got your shorts bumping knees

Oh, that's a good point. Human to human straight skin contact. Yeah, I'm not a... I get cold on the plane too. I'm not making as much contact these days. Okay. Oh, because you trimmed down. I trimmed down enough to where I don't have to... Our knees aren't pushing into each other. You're like a picture of a commercial. Like a...

You know those commercials where those old people get their lives back, whatever they take? I don't know if it's something. Where it's like they're being positive. One with the two bathtubs. Oh, yeah. Like that. I picture that with you. They go by and they go, need that extra seatbelt? And you go. Yeah.

And then you just sit there and I've been going to weight. Yeah. I got a weight watch. Man, I'm trying to hand you a fan and you're like, no, no, I got shorts. No, no, no. Yeah, that's, yeah, shorts is, it's something, it's different.

It just changed the game for me. I was so much more comfortable on that flight because I just don't, I don't know why I was letting it. What pants are you wearing? Jeans. So you got to get out of jeans. I don't know what else to wear. I'll walk into it. Some Viore travel pants. Yeah. Viore is great. Yeah. Viore is great. Golf pants. I mean like that's dude wearing these golf pants. I mean, I wear golf pants everywhere. Okay. And it's like, I got some that are so thin.

And it's, I mean, it's the best thing ever. I wear them outside. You know, like it's just, they're so nice. Okay. And then you feel, I like, I think, feeling like, you know, buttoned up. Like I like being like kind of sewed up and being like, I'm in my own business. Yeah, I like that too. In theory, it's just, it gets hot on there. Well, you could do golf pants. I would do that. Okay. You know? I'll try it out. Yeah, yeah. Lay on some ice or something. And...

Put an ice pack underneath it. You got a bad back? No. Roasted. Just tie that. A nice thing to your head. Golly, dude, you sick? No, no. I just get hot on planes. People got blankets on them out there. On the flight home yesterday...

It was delayed. I didn't see this happen, but the guy three rows in front of me apparently was trying to stuff his bag in the overhead bin, the Southwest flight, and it was too big. And he broke the door to the bin. And the flight attendant

she really laid into it, chastise him. She's like, you broke this because you tried. And she's like, now we're gonna have to delay the flight to fix it. And it did it delayed about 45 minutes. Guy comes on making this guy. I can't fix this. They have to take everyone's luggage out of that bin and check it. And then he comes back with tape because they can't fix it and just tapes it up. So it won't come open. Then they have to go log it, put it in the log. Then they have to recalibrate the weight of the plane with that luggage now underneath. So it's like 45 minute delay. Um,

Just because that guy apparently, I don't know how you break a bend by just trying to stuff something in there, but people were not happy. I don't know if I believe the weight thing. Like they're almost like they're just making it worse. Like some of that you want to go, they have to just, just one bend that has to go under.

You have to recalibrate. Because you've got to think, how many times do you go on and they go, you've got to check, we've got to take it downstairs? Yeah. They don't then recalibrate the thing. And it'll be like, I mean, people coming on, they're like, the bins are full. Now go down. So I would think, they said they had to recalibrate? Whatever that was.

calibrate. Is that the word? Calibrate. I think that's the word they used. And then, I don't know if I believe that. Did you give the guy the stink eye? No, he was like three rows in front of me

Was he apologetic about this? I couldn't tell exactly what he was saying, but he kind of acted like he was like, what are you talking about? I didn't do anything. But when the maintenance guy came in, he was like, you guys got to get up so I can work on this. You can either go sit in, I mean, stand in the bridgeway or whatever. And they just stood in the, he and his wife just stood in the

In the row. Oh, she's used to that. Yes. He breaks stuff all the time. Yeah. He loves it. Yeah, yeah. Doorknobs everywhere that goes. It is a weird, like, what are you going to do, though? You have to apologize. It's like, sorry. That's what you do. That's what you do. Sorry, everybody. I didn't know. Yeah. Sorry, the plane's weak. That's all it would take for me to forgive that guy. It's just that moment.

Yeah. I guess I'm glad they're that meticulous, but I'd be pretty annoyed if I was on that flight. Make that guy hold it shut the whole time. We'll be fine. He has to hold everybody's luggage that's up there. Well, the door doesn't close. You can't... How about we just tape it shut? Just tape it shut. Yeah. That's what they ended up doing, but after the... Leave the bags in there. Tape it shut. Let's get out of here. But that's what I mean. I don't think they do anything that's common sense. And rightfully so, because it's an airplane and everything needs to be kind of done, so it can't be like...

Could we tape it up and it do that? Yeah. And that would work, but that's a slippery slope. Slippery slope. You know, they're taping up the wing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. yeah. yeah

That's like the emergency exit row. They're like, sir, are you able to hold your thumb on this the whole time? I need a verbal yes. Yeah. Emergency exit row and the door's cracked open already. Let's give it a head start just in case. Because I'm going to tell you what, we ain't making it. You know what I mean? That's what they should say.

And Southwest is getting too lighthearted with their jokes. Be professional. You know, they're all making jokes. Everyone's laughing at it. I can't stand the joke portion on a Southwest flight. And the guy yesterday, you know, he could tell he doesn't even want to be on there. So he uses jokes to be just kind of mean. It was a very short flight. And I was sitting next to this sweet old lady right here beside me. And he goes, when I come through with snacks, we got 40 minutes. So if I ask you...

if you ask me, what do you have? I'm going to say, I don't have much time. And everybody laughed at that. And then the old lady looked at me and goes, well, what do they have? Which I thought was a good question. It's not like he told this is what we have. Yeah. You know, so just stuff like that. Just, yeah, I don't like it.

Going to you and her row. I mean, he just... He sees both y'all. I mean, he's going to spin. He might have just been talking to us. Yeah, he should just go, we'll get back to you guys. I mean, that's going to be... You have to tell her what they have, then she picks, and then they have to retell you.

And the whole time it looked like you were listening, but you didn't hear. Yeah. And you're like, I didn't catch all that. I think it's in one of the things. Oh, in Behind the Seat? One of those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He should say, though, if he's going to make that joke. Yeah. You can look in the thing, decide. Yeah. The snacks can be different, though.

Well, now you hold it up and point at it. You ever done that? Yeah, I've seen that. Or give them number two. Yeah, we're monkeys at this point on a plane. I've seen that where they just hold the sign up. I mean, it makes sense because it can be hard to hear and stuff, but you just... We're losing the touch of the social... You're talking about

social aspects it's like we're losing that which is just separates everybody and then you're like I mean the extreme version is like then eventually you're gonna watch someone die in front of your eyes and not care yeah and that's the very extreme but it is like you're just going down you're just you're going what do you want you gotta want diet coke you're like well I have no relationship with this person not that I should

But I mean, I don't even have like, if something went down, there was a fight. I have no incentive to even out of just pure protecting that person out of my good heart. You have no connection that you're like, golly, you see that fight where you talk to her. There's one joke. That's enough to go like, yeah, I mean, I met that person. I feel like I met him. Yeah. You know, the war start on Southwest. All right.

Well, speaking of wars... By the way, I love Southwest. So do I. That being said, I'm a giant. I fly Delta a lot, but I am a giant fan of Southwest. I really am. Dusty? I don't like the boarding process, but other than that, it's fine. Yeah, but I mean, yeah, you got to just try to get there early. You sometimes pay the 40 bucks of the thing. Yeah. The boarding process is tough, but I mean, for a family of three, it's crazy.

Crazy. Free check bags. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's, I've used it. You feel the safe, their planes feel safer. They're always, they're always big planes. They're all nice too. I've noticed the employees are nice. And you know what I did?

A little hack I figured out. I made my buddy Joe Kelly, who's been doing some shows with me, I made him my companion on Southwest. Oh. So I can fly him everywhere for free now. Wow. Does he have to fly out of here? He has to fly on the same flight as me. Yeah, that's awesome. But I can just add him for free. Wow. That changed the game for me. Yeah. Because a lot of gigs I'd love to bring somebody, but I can't.

can't afford to fly you out. Yeah. Well, that's amazing. And that's why they're so nice to you. They think y'all are, this is my companion. They're like, oh, these guys. Yeah. Yeah. But they're also... What do I tell you, Aaron? There is no companion pass. I don't know how to tell you this. They went away with that program about 10 years ago. And Joe Kelly is not a lot. He goes, who's this Joe Kelly? We're not even recording right now. This isn't a podcast. What?

So Arizona was the 48th state. Wow. Right? Wow. I knew Alaska and Hawaii were the last two. Couldn't have told you the one before that. Arizona. What happened with Arizona? Were they really holding out? Yeah. Was it Mexico? Well, they thought they were too uncivilized down there because a bunch of fights kept breaking out. So there was these two families that kept fighting, the Grams and the Tewksberries. And they were fighting over land. Yeah.

And this went on for years. And I estimated 35 to 50 people died from this fight. And it's called the Pleasant Valley War. And it gave the Arizona territory a bad reputation for not being ready for statehood. I mean, for you not to get a state, and it's like, I mean, 35 to 50 people, how many people die on a normal cruise? Yeah. 30, 40? I mean, like, it's not that many, you know, it's...

But this is over, I mean, I wonder how many battles it is. It's not like 50 or 30 died in one fight. I mean, how many people do they have in their family? Yeah, a lot of- It killed them all off. That's how it stopped. Westerns seem to take place in Arizona. Like the old Clint Eastwood stuff. Well, Tombstone, Arizona. Yeah. Tombstone is the okay corral, probably the most famous one. Is that the movie Tombstone? Is it about that?

I need to watch Tombstone. Have you not watched it? No. It is really good. I've never been a Wild West person. Are you seeing it? I love the Wild West movies. All right. Well, we did one on Old West, and you guys didn't know Doc Holliday. I knew Doc Holliday. I've heard of him. I didn't know who he was. But you've seen Tombstone. I have since we talked about it. I mean, I love the old Wild West movies. Clint Eastwood stuff, so good. So good.

And then there was the Apache Wars that were also going on down there. I miss what you said. Well, he was just still laughing. Everybody else moved on from Plenty's Wood. It's so defeating when you say something. And everybody's like, all right. I know how it feels.

So the Apaches, they didn't give up their land easy. As late as 1933, they were still doing fights. As late as when? 1933. Wow. So all that's still going on down there. So it's still happening?

Oh, you're talking about back then. Back then. Oh, I was like, I didn't know what was happening. Yeah, I missed that when I was there. I'm trying to say, that's why. I'm still going to 1933. It's still going. That's why Arizona was a little slate, a little lake to the statehood thing. About a quarter of the state's still Indian reservations.

Native American, probably. Well, this said Indian. I thought it was okay. It was from, I don't know if it was a reputable source. Yeah, yeah. The book I found out your parents have? Yeah. It was my mom that told me. You got it. A lot of casino, Indian. Thanks. The biggest one's the Navajo Nation. They're so big that, you know, we talk about Arizona's not on daylight saving time, but the Navajo Nation is. Wow. Hmm.

We ever talk about the Navajo language being used so much in World War II? We talked about that before? I think you talked about it. Because that movie Windtalkers. Oh, Windtalkers, yeah. With Nicolas Cage, I think, yeah. It's a good one. Yeah, that language is complicated. They're codebreakers? Yeah, they're codebreakers because it's like the most difficult language in the world for people to understand. Who's codebreakers? Or their language couldn't be broken.

Code couldn't be broken. I haven't seen the movie. I think it's during World War II to communicate messages, they'd have people that spoke Navajo to communicate it. Because that way, if they were intercepted, Germans, Japanese, they couldn't understand what was being said. Because it's this very complicated language that only exists in this small corner of the world they had no exposure to.

What is a sentence or a word sound? I have no idea. Throw a rock at someone's head or something? He's confident. And he goes, did he duck or not duck? And he goes, he did not duck. He goes, he'll be back then. He's just going to the store. Grammatically, it's like.

I saw something recently. I follow this guy on TikTok that can speak like every language. It's awesome. It's like a superpower. He just walks around New York City and all the different little sections and speaks their language. Anyway, he was talking about Navajo and how hard it was to learn and that in English we have one word like to hold, but there's like 13 different versions of to hold in Navajo.

Like, dependent on why I'm holding it or how big the thing I'm holding it, they have a whole different word for it. So it's all super complicated. Yeah. I was just curious what a word is. Like, is it like, is it like jawbreaker kiki? Is that like how they go? Yeah. And you go, okay. You want to listen to someone speak Navajo? Yeah. All right, let's pull that out. We'll take two seconds. All right. Go ahead and read something. Oh, it's two seconds, I thought. Well, people are listening to this.

So maybe don't. This guy's just speaking English. That didn't sound that complex. I was about to say, I hear a lawnmower, but beyond that, it sounds pretty normal. Okay. Here's a weather report in the language. Oh, the lawnmower. That's outside. Okay.

That's crazy. Yeah. That'd be tough to pick apart for me, for sure. Yeah. A lot of apostrophes they're using in there. Yeah, even just written down, it looks super complicated. Nike, not a...

Nebi Anikia. He does better reading that than he does the comics. Yeah, it actually sounds really good. Digjo Ahidahuzizo. Like, what if I, like, turns out. You're part Navajo. Yeah, it's like, oh, it's not that hard. I can feel it in my blood. The fact that you hear those words and then you're like, it's over at Shiprock, Farmington, Bloomfield, Four Corner. And then, like, they don't go with

They're not even starting on the same thing. Here's also rain and snow are expected in the afternoon. This is what that sounds like. Okay. Like that first word, D-Z. I mean, there's letters, but that seems like a really complicated word. A lot of I's and J's in it. Yes.

Yeah, a lot going on. As soon as you have to do all that, you're like, what does it mean? You're like, I'm just hungry. But how is he hungry? Right. Right. 15 different ways. Yeah. Arizona is called the Grand Canyon State. Can anybody guess why? Grand Canyon. That's not bad, right? It's one of seven natural wonders of the world.

Does anybody know any of the other natural wonders in the world? Oh, Niagara Falls. Nope. Victoria Falls. Yeah, I don't know what that is. Is that on there? Is it in Africa? I think it is. Yeah. It's a waterfall. It's when you sit on top of it. People sit like on top of it. I don't think you should sit on top of this one. There's one that, yeah, I've always seen videos where people sit right on the edge of it, like there's a little spring or something. Potentially. This one looks like you probably shouldn't sit near the edge. Is this the biggest in the world or something?

I don't know. Is Niagara Falls not one of them? It's not. It is to me. It's our number one. The pyramids.

Victoria Falls is the largest waterfall in the world. I would have thought the pyramids would have been one. Well, it says natural. Well, maybe it is. Oh, yeah, natural. These are natural seven wonders of the world. Yellowstone. No. A redwood tree. I better just say them. All right, go ahead. Let me get a couple guesses. What about the Mississippi River? The Nile River.

No. What is... I mean... Yeah. I don't even know. Great Wall of China. The Barrier Reef. The Barrier Reef. Yes. Great guess. Boom. Bermuda Triangle. Good job. No. Gulf of Mexico. Big Ben. Panama City. Thank you.

Snookers. Fuddruckers. Somebody's done it. Mount Everest. Okay. Oh, golly. Paracutin. I don't know what that is. It's beautiful. It's beautiful that time of year. Paracutin is so beautiful. Paracutin. It's a volcano in Mexico. Wow. Looks kind of cool. Yeah.

Harbor of Rio de Janeiro. Again, not familiar with it. Oh, that's the... That is very cool. That's where the Christ the Redeemer statue is. Okay, yep. But why is that harbor the natural wonders? What's so crazy about it? I don't know.

I'll look it up. Yeah. And then the Northern Lights. Never would have got that one. Yeah. It's a little misleading. Yeah. Gotta look up. It really is. Yeah. Not that impressed. I'll be honest with you. Statistically speaking, the harbor of Rio de Janeiro is the largest bay in the world based on volume of water. Additionally, the mouth of the harbor is unique, resembling more of a river than a bay. So it's just, it's the largest. Seems like a stretch. Yeah. It's, yeah.

They wanted to get in there. They were like, we need another one. We need one more natural wonder. Let's do seven. Yeah. Six natural wonders, doesn't it? I think the pyramids are for just the wonders of the world. I think it's one. Oh, for the man-made one. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Grand Canyon is the fourth most visited national park in the U.S. The number one is by far the most. Smoky Mountain. Yellowstone.

smoky mountains it's a great smoky mountain national park i was surprised just how much more it is than the rest oh yeah well the i mean i've not been to the grand canyon but you go to the smoky mountains at the right time i mean that is people's galore up there man i mean i don't think i've like walked around like i need to go like hiking in the smoke about it's awesome like it's really a lot of shorts out there yeah

A lot of shorts. A lot of shorts. Yeah. A lot of airbrushed t-shirts. Yeah. Is there a Southwest flight from here to there? No, there's not. Shorts tucked in. There is the Phoenix, though. There is the Phoenix. The Grand Canyon's awesome. I've been to Spokane. Dollywood's great.

That one is great. Got a lot of go-karts. I've been to Spokane Bounds a bunch, but I don't think we ever really went hiking. You got to go to Klingman's Dome. Yeah, I do need to do that. I've done that. You've been to Klingman's Dome. You can drive up there? Now as a kid, it's just like a spiral that you walk to the top. Oh, wow. When y'all migrated over? Yeah.

That's how you knew where you were going to live there. My uncle used to work at a hotel over there, and some tourists came in one time and was like, when did they turn the smoke on to the mountains? Like it was a machine. Yeah. Was he serious? Yeah, I think so. I think they got that question a lot. I don't know how much I believe this.

I mean, I don't know. I mean, my uncle could be lying, I guess, but he told me that. Turn the smoke on. I know. That's what I'm saying. I'd love to get to the bottom of how that originated. I'll dig into it, and I'll try to get some information. Yeah. I'll try to get information.

For the podcast that'll air before this one so that it's very confusing. Yeah, that would be pretty good. We had to do that one day. Go little heads up. You find out we will do that. We want to clarify a point. We're going to make it a month. We're going to. Yeah, I'm actually way on board with this. We are going to correct yourself. We're going to pre like a jeopardy. Yeah, we're going to correct yourself and then you're figure out why. Right. I have to reverse engineer it.

So there was an archaeologist, two of them, who said they discovered a secret tunnel housing Egyptian artifacts and mummies in the Grand Canyon. And this was published in the Arizona Gazette. The Smithsonian denies all these allegations, says it's not real. Of course they do. But these archaeologists said they found a bunch of stuff down there. And they think the Egyptians came over on the Pacific Ocean and then...

Oh, at the Grand Canyon? Yeah. Yeah. This is what we were talking about before. Yeah. Yeah. We talked about this already. But this is the thing that you want to go, they either found it or they didn't. That's what I don't understand. How, if the Smithsonian, who is the Smithsonian that gets to go, we don't believe it? Are they allowed to do that? They say the Smithsonian does stuff like that. I know, but they go, well, Smithsonian denied it. You're like, well, can they? They're not like a country. Yeah, well, give them the right.

Yeah, am I crazy or is it? It seems very weird. No, that thought makes sense to me. Like, yeah. I guess they're just considering. Well, Target said it didn't happen. Okay. All right, let's wrap it up, boys. I thought, you know, I didn't go. Yeah, well, I'd love to believe it, but Home Depot has a pretty strong stance that it never existed. You go, oh, I didn't know that.

Kmart's like, no, it happened. Kmart's like, we're for real, dude. Yeah, but that too, you want to go just show it. Yeah. The conspiracy stuff needs to just be like, it's either there or not there. They don't want you to say it. That's why they live it. It's always like, oh. Who doesn't want you? I know, but if those guys are saying it, the Arizona Gazette and that, how are they not allowed to go? Well, it was from 1909, so I think it was just a different time. So we still haven't gone in yet?

Well, I mean, I think it's a secret cave. They don't even know where it exists. Oh, yeah. There was one right up here. I mean, I guess these archaeologists are dead. Mm-hmm. And... Well, this is... Well, I just want to... This is a picture used to...

Yeah, I just wanted to show the opening. Well, there's the article. I didn't know we were going to UFO mania here. It's literally ufothetruthisoutthere.com. Better start seeing some dusty comments on some of these posts. Yeah, get out of there quick. You're pretty active there.

Well, speaking of UFOs, Phoenix had one of the most well-documented cases in recent years. The lights over Phoenix or the Phoenix lights, March 13th, 1997, up to 700 people saw these lights over Phoenix. The mayor originally or the governor originally made fun of it, said we found the culprit and had a guy dressed up as an alien at the press conference. But later he said, yeah, we don't know what it was. And it's, it was something they still don't know.

The government said it was some type of flare that they were testing. I think I've seen that thing. Yeah. In Alabama. There's video. I mean, even though in 1997 people had video cameras, so there's video of these lights in the sky. It existed for 106 minutes. It just floated there in the air. See, we used to set out on these hay bales, these big round hay bales, and we would tell ghost stories. Hay bale.

And we would tell ghost stories and stuff. And one night we got all freaked out and we start running back up to the house. And we did see it look like a triangle of lights, like come over. And my dad was like, it was probably just an airplane. But I was like, it was wild. Yeah. But that it's the, it's the, it's the coincidence of like, why would you be talking about that stuff? And then you see it there, you know what I mean? Yeah. Like you're being scared. I remember this. Yeah. Yeah.

I do remember this. Oh, it wasn't like that. That is pretty crazy. It's crazy. What are those lights? And then they just, yeah. And I mean, take two to be like, the government's like, oh, it was just flares. You're like, well, that's not, why would you not tell us before? We didn't think they were all light. One time I was driving in Chattanooga, nighttime, and I could see all these lights, like clear lights up in the sky. And I was really like, I was like, what is that?

And then I realized that it was so dark that you just couldn't see the mountain. And so it's just houses sitting on top of the mountain. Yes. But the mountain was so dark that it looked like floating lights. I mean, it was blowing my mind. And then I was like, oh, that's just houses. Yeah. I mean, I was like ready to film it. I've seen that too. Yeah. Yeah.

Especially in the wintertime when the leaves are off the trees and you can see just the light up there. Yeah. And it does look so high like it's in the sky. I mean, it was, I was like. All right. I mean, I'm not even into UFOs and I'm saying, I'm like, but what is that? Yeah. No, I know. Yeah. The first McDonald's franchise ever was in Phoenix. First franchise, not the original store. Right. But this was a year before. They got it going. Yeah.

Yeah, this was the year before Ray Kroc got involved, so this was still... Maybe I'll go to that McDonald's for the special. It closed in 1986. Dang, that's too bad. The first McDonald's drive-thru, also in Arizona. Maybe I'll go to that one. Too hot to get out and walk to the building.

Well, that's a good guess. 1975, it was in Sierra Vista, and soldiers from a nearby military base were not allowed to get out of their vehicles off post while wearing fatigues. So the owner of the McDonald's near the base pushed out a bit of wall and installed a sliding glass window. Lines of hungry soldiers stretched around the building, and Big Macs flew out the window as fast as the crew could make them, and then McDonald's started doing drive-thru windows. Wow. And now everyone does. So they started a drive-thru window. Yeah.

This is so funny. I pulled up this article. Yeah. This is on Arizona central.com. And the title of the article is you won't believe where McDonald's opened its first drive through. I mean, is it that mind boggling that it was in Arizona?

Yeah. It's also on ArizonaCentral.com. I'm guessing it's Arizona. And I also would believe wherever they opened it. Wherever they opened it, I would believe it. There's nowhere that you could say where I would be like... Antarctica? Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I don't know if I'll believe that. Yeah, I mean, but if there's a... Yeah, I mean...

yeah all right so if it said nr i would be like i don't think so yeah i don't think but i still would i might tell you because what you're like a why i don't care exactly and maybe it was i don't know somebody trying to make a name for themselves yeah who is this scott craven trying to make a name for craven trying i mean it worked i clicked on it honestly maybe i won't be one

You did. We won. He got the click from me. And then it says how in Arizona McDonald's made it. I mean, the whole story is just there. Oh, so it was in Arizona. Yeah. What's on Arizona central black. It'd be weird if it was like North Dakota. Why are y'all writing about it? Yeah. The most remote Indian reservation in the U S also in Arizona. It's in the grand Canyon. It's only accessible by foot pack animal or helicopter. They have their mail and most of their food delivered by mules and

200 people live there. Is it the Havasupai? Yep. Interesting. It's a different world. It's peaceful. They have their mail delivered by foot? By mule. Oh, by mule. Wow. I mean, they got a pretty nice... Where they're at is pretty beautiful. I'd like to be there in that. Yeah, that's nice. Yeah. 200 people. Yeah. Get some bills in the mail. Yeah, be like, I'm sorry. What mail do they need? Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't get the light bill until now. The mule was a little slow this week. Yeah, trash pickup. Dude, the trail I took when I hiked the Grand Canyon was also a mule trail, and the mules were just letting loose on that trail. Oh, it was tough. It was just... Yeah. What do you mean letting loose? Mule droppings all over the trail. Oh, yeah.

A comical amount of it. Yeah. And you didn't mind it until you were on your way back up when I was really struggling. Kind of face-to-face with it? It's like... You got an angle? Yeah, exactly. I'm leaning forward, just smelling it. It was a problem. Why did you go down the mule trail? It's the most popular trail. It's called the Bright Angel Trailhead, but they take mules on it also. So it's like mostly people, but those mules are just...

Yeah. Going off. There you go. God, how many mules y'all got? He goes, mules aren't allowed on this trail. In 1968, the London Bridge was being torn down, I guess, and being replaced. So a guy in Arizona who founded Lake Havasu City bought the London Bridge for $2.46 million.

He had it dismantled, and each of the 10,276 granite blocks were numbered and shipped from London to Arizona and reassembled. So the London Bridge is in Arizona. That's crazy. The actual real London Bridge. Like, London Bridge is falling down. Can you go on it, or is it just like you look at it? That bridge? Yeah. My fair lady. Yeah, I would think so. It took three years to reassemble, and they had a grand opening in October 1971, and

So I guess you can go over it. Well, that's the original London Bridge. It's pretty cheap for a bridge, I would think. I don't know the, you know. Much less a famous one.

Yeah, I guess it's a lot for 1968, but I mean, it's the only bridge that's... Has a song about it. It's the bridge. But it fell. It's the bridge. It's the bridge. If you brought up a bridge, you would say London Bridge, and you would not even badmouth it. Maybe Golden Gate, but that's a distance. No one's... Yeah. If someone... There's people who are going to say Golden Gate, but they're being annoying. London Bridge is the bridge. Right. And then you're like...

$2.4 million. Y'all take it. I take it. Yeah. Arizona has one of the world's largest meteor craters. It's 570 feet deep. Estimated hit Earth 50,000 years ago and NASA astronauts trained in it before their trip to the moon. Dusty, carry comment. Well, I'm sure they probably filmed everything in that crater. Yeah.

They're like, yeah, we're training for the moon. There's a flag in there. Can you go look at it? You can. I thought about going to this the last time I was there, but it's a pretty good drive from Phoenix, but you can go visit it. It's privately owned, but they do tours. It's like a moon crater to me. The government, I don't think, owns it. I think a private individual owns it, but has turned it into a... When did this happen? 50,000 years ago.

How do they... I mean, look at Dusty. I guess it's always the exact date. It's always... But I mean, they're not saying the exact date. 50,000 years ago. But it's always... Yeah, it's like 50,000 years ago. Just to give you... This picture gives you a great idea of the scale of it. Just these people here, and it's just so deep, so big. I mean, it is huge. It's huge. But that don't mean a meteor crashed into it. Well...

What's the alternative? Much people dug this? Yeah. Eventually over time. Yeah. You know? Why? Who knows? Maybe there was some type of resource in there. Yeah. Okay. Maybe they mined it. Mm-hmm. They dug it in the shape of a crater. And then they were like, what's this? And they were like, oh, a meteor crashed here 50,000 years ago. Because it's too embarrassing to say I didn't find anything. Yeah. Exactly. Okay.

Did you find any resources? Nah. Nah, meteor hit her. What, you think we're crazy? Yeah. You think we wasted 50,000 years digging this hole? Says a guy wearing nothing but gold rings. Ah, meteor. So you think the meteorites, we've seen them come down.

Some stuff from the sky that blow out windows. You think you've seen them come down, right? Yeah. I mean, that's what I say. I don't know. I mean, I know that they say that's happening.

Yeah. Yeah. You know. You see a shooting star or whatever and it just kind of burns out and it just, you know, it's like, I don't. Yeah. That's a switch they flip. Yeah. It's like the Truman Show. Yeah. Hologram out there. Just mess with them. There's 13 different species of rattlesnake in Arizona. Oh, boy. That's a lot of species. It is. J.J. Watt found one in his house this weekend. Oh, wow. Just keeping up with him, I guess. Uh. Uh.

Well, he posted a video of it asking people which cop it was, I think. One of the largest astronomical observatories is in Arizona. It has one of the largest telescopes there is, the Kitt Peak National Observatory. Ooh. Arizona, they say, is great because it's so far away from light. Once you get out of Phoenix, it's good for observing the stars. Yeah, the lack of light pollution, you can see a lot out there. Pretty cool. Good to know. Yeah.

Lake Mead. Oh, yeah. Man-made lake. That's what people are going crazy about? Yeah, because of the dead bodies? I thought it's like going down. It is, but now they're finding dead bodies in it because it's going down. Yeah. But... Yeah, what if this crater used to be just a big pond? That's true. That just dried up? Yeah, you don't look at a pond and think a crater hit it.

but maybe it is maybe this uh big lakes could be you know where craters hit yeah so it was a lake it was a lake in the middle of the desert a long time ago maybe it wasn't a desert maybe it wasn't a desert i mean iraq wasn't iraq like uh beautiful like in the 70s like it was like it was like it was like tropical yeah so maybe it wasn't a desert back then yeah so i mean people were hanging out it was a big pool this guy had a lot of money

It's a big pool. Might have been. Then he had it drained. Lake Mead has dropped 30 feet since February. That was in 2014. After it drains out, they'll go, crater, a meteor hit this. Yeah, and 10,000 years ago, I have a view on a podcast going, so you tell me it used to be a lake, and then you call... You're telling me they found dead bodies in this thing? Yeah, the guy that figured it all out, you call him dumb, Aaron? Exactly. Exactly.

This is a weird shaped meteor, though, I'll tell you that. That would be. Yeah. It's going down, though, right? And that's not good. Yes. Because of something. They need to... I feel like... And I'm not trying to make light of it, but I feel like they explain it more. Yeah. Like, I don't ever... They're like, this is going down. You're like, I need to know the context of...

Like, we get our water here, you know, or something. Yeah, I think it provides water to a lot of states other than Arizona. I think Nevada. I think it's a very important lake. And they found dead bodies because it's mafia and they think Vegas. Maybe, yeah. Or just where people take them. There are just dead bodies in every body of water, I bet. You say you heard that? No, I bet. I bet in every body of water.

There's probably a bunch. Nate's pool? Like the big bodies of water. I mean all of them. No way, all of them. Yeah, Old Hickory Lake, you don't think there's... Yeah, but I'm saying that's the big body. I'm saying, yeah. You think there's 20 or 30 dead bodies in there? I'm saying, yeah. You got very specific with it. Yeah. You don't think there's 22 male bodies in there? What? What? Yeah, I guess. From 1997 to 1999. The Old Hickory Killer. Yeah.

That's not a bad name. There was a couple who tried to go down the Colorado River on a kayak or a boat, I guess. And she would have been the first woman to ever accomplish it through the Grand Canyon. And they just vanished in thin air. They never found their bodies. They never know what happened to them. This was, I think, in the 1920s or 30s. And they still don't know what happened to them. There was a woman. This was on Unsolved Mysteries.

There was a woman in 1992 who was a river runner guide, and she knew everything about the river. And they looked at her picture, and they're like, that looks a lot like Bessie Hyde. So they think this woman could have been her, just faked her identity. Faked her own death?

Victor Undead maybe killed her husband and then... In the 20s, it's like, yeah, you could have just... You could have. You can just throw a rock on this side. Everybody looks. Yeah, yeah. You're like, now I'm the river guy. It's like professional wrestling. The river guy's over here. I found the river guy. They weren't even looking for a river guy. These people didn't know what's going on back then, dude. Yeah.

The gila monster lives in Arizona desert. It's the largest lizard native to the United States. Wow. And it's poisonous and it has a drug for the management of type 2 diabetes is based on a protein from its saliva. Oh boy, it is cute. It's a hideous looking animal.

Just unpleasant. Did a real big guy get bit by one? That's how they figured that out? And he goes, I'll tell you what, though. My sugar's really balanced. I've never felt better. One licked him. I feel amazing. It's like the fluoride. There's a kind Phoenix who set a world record for building a pyramid using one million pennies.

And he took about four years to do this. And first he had to get donation of that many pennies. How much money is that? A million pennies. Would that be? $100,000? I'm guessing. No. I mean, divided by 100. So I'm having trouble doing that in my head right now. Just keep reading. Move the decimal over. Yeah, not that much. He received donations from his coworkers. And all donations totaled about 30,000 pennies or $300. Wow.

And the rest he got on his own. And he had to go to a credit union to get the pennies. And then he figured out how many rows he would need to do this. He took more than 400 days off. It took him about 1.8 years. What is it? It's like $10,300. This is like math that should be so easy to do. I'm struggling even comprehending how to do it. Sorry. Okay.

How would it be an odd number, one million pennies? Because it was 1,000, 1,030-something pennies. Oh, okay. Yeah. Anyway, there's a video of him. It just seems like all this planning for this thing, like what if this guy put this effort into doing something real in his life and really accomplished something? I think this is it. But what did he get from that? I'll tell you what he got. He got this, dude. He got a million. Right. Yeah, he got a world record. He got a Lego pyramid.

We're not going to be talking about him for stuff he's doing. I'm going to tell my grandkids about this. They're going to tell their grandkids and they're going to say, what is a penny? And I'm going to have to explain that. And then I'm going to have to explain to the gas station when they're like, there's a chain shortage. And I'm going to go, well, there's a guy in Arizona that has a million pennies. This is pretty cool. He did a time-lapse video of him building it and just how he did it. That one creeping up there.

What's that all about? It's pretty nice. Just showing us a time-lapse video. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I just... Pretty cool. I mean, it has 177,000 views, dude. That's not even that many. That's a legacy, dude. For this. I mean, the hassle alone. You get 469 subscribers on YouTube. This guy. What was the record before this? Two? I mean... He never looked it up? Yeah. I could have stopped at four? I mean...

I mean, you know, I give it up to the guy for the work, but it's... He gives people something to talk about. Yeah. I mean, you can't even, wherever he built it, you can't even get it out of there. Yeah. What if he had to move?

He's like, we're moving. We're moving in the house. I don't know if you know this, but the house comes with a penny pair, man. He goes, but I'm going to give you a million pennies. And they're like, oh my gosh, you are rich. $100,000? He goes, it's $10,000. And I glued them together so you can't take them to Coinstar. In Arizona, it's so hot that by law, you cannot refuse anyone a glass of water who asks for one.

So Starbucks got around this by saying, we're not charging you for water. We're charging you for the cup. Smart. But you can bring your own bottle in there. And they'll pour it in there for you? Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

Yeah, I mean, that seems to be the most. I think people figure that out pretty quick. I would imagine. And then they go, I got it. We're charging you for the cup. Yeah. But you could, yeah, because then you could just fill it. You say, well, fill my cup. They have to give you the water. Right. So they would just fill the cup up. Yeah. Otherwise, they're saying you can only drink out of our cup the water. Because you are then denying them the water.

Yeah, I just envision people walking in there off the street. I need water. Give me a cup of water. Sounds like a law from the Wild West. It does. Yeah. It's probably not enforced a lot. Most people in Arizona probably don't even know it until right now. So sports, half of the Major League Baseball teams go to spring training in Arizona, the Cactus League. You ever been? No, not yet. Not then.

You've been? I didn't watch a game, but I watched. Sonny was there, and we watched them practice a little bit. That's cool. I've been to spring training in Tampa, but not out there. They're always there. Mike Ushimski, the Vandy guys. I think they might be there when I'm doing the special. Oh, nice. Because they're always in Phoenix around September. I feel like they're there. Wait, September will be still the season going. The season will still be going on. But I think he said he might be there. Maybe they're playing the Diamondbacks. Yeah.

That'd be cool. Diamondbacks won a World Series. Actually, they are. The Giants are in town playing the Diamondbacks that weekend. Yeah. So Yaz will be. Oh, that's awesome. Diamondbacks won the World Series in 2001 against the Yankees. One time people were rooting for the Yankees because of 9-11. Right. Or the Mets. That was crazy.

Well, yeah, but the Yankees were in it. It was going to seem like it was a magical thing. Like, oh my gosh, they're going to win this and all this. I think that's when Bush threw out the first pitch. It was held in November because the season was delayed, but the Diamondbacks won it just three years after they became a franchise. Crazy. Pretty crazy. Cardinals went to one World Series. Kurt Warner a few years ago against the Steelers.

Yeah, I remember that. Super Bowl. That was a lot of fun. Oh, what'd I say? World Series. Yeah. World Series of football. That's what it is, essentially. They got the Arizona Cowdies. They've never won a Stanley Cup. Do other countries resent the fact that we call it the World Series? Let me ask you this. Do you watch the Little League World Series and think, this is rigged, this isn't authentic because the Dixie Youth League's not playing in it? That's a great question.

I don't think it's rigged, but I don't think it's all... Not rigged, but... I don't think it's as all-encompassing as they act like it is. Because it is not... It's not every kid that played youth baseball. It's only the kids that play youth baseball for that league. For Little League. But that's the majority, right? I think it's got to be the majority. But for the South, I mean, I didn't know any kids that played Little League. That's all we played. Well, we had, like, yeah, Goldsville, Mallstreet Park. That's where I played. It was Little League. They went to the...

Did they win? They won. They won. And Tennessee's in it right now. Well, not when this airs, but Tennessee's in this year's Little League World Series. I was always Dixie youth, so it was our own thing. Yeah. Yeah, I would think that it's like – I would think it's – They started it, and then if you're like – it's not like – I guess. I would joke a little bit, but I just wondered if – I know. Because it's got a lot of – Tennessee's doing really well. The last few years have been going. I think there might be a team from Waverly that plays Dixie youth that's –

Because Morgan... Waverly, Alabama? Waverly, Tennessee. They had the flood last year that wiped them out. Can you imagine if you're...

not from here listen this podcast right now can you imagine i was about to get one little tip guys are talking can you imagine just yeah i'm even lost here there would be a point they got to be like what am i doing like these two guys are talking about a local tennessee literally don't say two you threw out moss right park i threw out moss right part one then i stopped

Well, I was just going to say. Yeah, I go, that's enough. Let's not. And then you're like, yeah, I think. Let me think. Hold on. I'll get back to it. Waverly County. Knox County. Waverly. Humphreys County. I just wanted to throw out this one part. Morgan Wallen. Is that how you say his last name? Yes. He paid for all the travel for this team to go to.

Dixie U so it was like it was like a big deal for this team because they got flooded last year and lost everything so yeah yeah I'm on board with that I just wanted to share that tidbit that that well now that you share that after I did what I did it doesn't sound my part sounds bad yeah but I agree that that's awesome and I'm rooting for Waverly it just there was a moment in time in that moment

What if by the time this is... Man, people are listening to this. I mean, you're like, we're on like a local sports radio show. Like, you're like, what are we doing? What if by the time this comes out, Morgan Wallen's like being bankrupt and he couldn't pay... It's like Scott's Tots. Yeah. He couldn't pay for them to go. And we're praising him. Wait, really? They're all in PEDs?

Is that what they're called? PEDs? Performance sensing drugs? Oh, yeah. Hey, guys, kid is 45 years old out there. What? I got lost watching. I was still watching the penny pyramid be built. I did leave that whole time lapse. And then I don't know if you can see the video, but it's like, I don't know if the picture of the left was when the guy started. And then you see the guy at the end. Look at this guy.

He looks like he's in his 30s, and now he looks like he's in his 50s. Yeah. How long did that thing take? It wears on you. It took 1.8 years. You see what I mean here with these guys? Jeez. Well, it takes a lot out of you. Yeah. Is that it? Yeah. It's on Waverly. All right, let me ask you this. Who do you think is the greatest athlete to ever come out of Arizona? Aaron and I had this debate in Utah because we almost went to the Utah Sports Hall of Fame. We're just like, well, who's there?

I mean, I got one I'll throw out. Okay. Does this play people actually from there or is it people that played? Played there. Okay. Randy Johnson for me. I was going to say Charles Barkley. Yeah. Charles Barkley. The best athlete? Yeah. Well, yeah. Or just maybe best known. Oh, best like famous. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I would say Charles Barkley. Yeah. That's a good one. I didn't think about him. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Randy Johnson. I think most people think Seattle.

Oh, we went to a football game. We won a World Series with Phoenix. We went to a football game in Arizona. No, yeah, he did. But he did, but like still a lot of people. Kyler Murray's good. I'm just going to say that because that's about the only guy I know. And I saw him play, and he's good. He's good. Yeah, yeah. I would think it's Charles Barkley's got to be. I mean, they might have someone else that we're not thinking of, but Steve Nash. Great. Devin Booker. Kevin Johnson. There you go. I met Kevin Johnson.

I was a number. He gave me, I did a show once and he was there. He gave me, he's like the mayor. He's like the son of Sacramento. Yeah. Really? The mayor of Sacramento or something like that. Yeah. Who you think the best player from Waverly is?

Don't get me started. Let's go through it. Yeah. We pull up the roster. I don't know. I got a few. He goes, no, my buddies went to high school with that's his son's son out there. Try to get his autograph. Yeah. Try to get him to sign it. All right. That's it.

Have fun at the special. I will. Thank you. Good luck. Thank you for all that's coming out. Thank you for that's come to every show and all that stuff. You guys are the best for, you know, being a part of all this and yeah, go check you guys out and yeah, that's it. We love you. All right. All right. All right.
