And hey, Bear, welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm here with Brian Bay, Taren Weber, Dusty Slay. We're all back. We're all back in it. Yep. Live. Live. This is the week of, so this is one that I don't have to worry about. Right. I'll be like, when is this coming out? This is coming out this week.

Today. Today it's coming up. Yeah, today. We've got a couple new things in here. Everybody, thank you for subscribing to the YouTube Nate Lane Entertainment. 100,000 subscribers. That's awesome. Yeah, we got one of those. I'm pretty excited to show Harper. All I've wanted is that.

And I've only wanted it to impress her. You're YouTube famous now. Because I think YouTube is. That's something she understands, right? That's something she understands. Because I saw her, like, she, like, you know, whatever, something she watches and she'll point out, like, oh, they have a thing. You get that when you get all these subscribers. So I was like, all right. Yeah, you're an influencer now. All right, wait till, wait till. And I knew I was like, we're getting up there. So then I'm going to be able to, you know. And now you're at 105. Yeah. Yeah.

Keep subscribing. We got, I mean, you know, the more people subscribe to that, we got those specials, Vecchione. We got Greg Warren's special, Joe Zimmerman's special coming out. We have a new thing coming out after that. And, you know, we're just going to keep building it and just keep doing stuff that you can watch and that fits into this world. So Nateland Entertainment, subscribe there or whatever you do. Since we've been together, the Nateland Presents.

We shot all those. Yes. We're all last together. Oh, yeah. Those were great. Those were hot. Great. Yeah. Did we say what they were? Yeah. It's I don't know if I've said it, but it's talk a whole lot about it. Yeah. Nate land presents. We're doing a thing called, I guess we're just the thing called the showcase.

And so it's six, I believe it was six comics a show. These three guys hosted each one one night. So we're, the Genovations, y'all did it, so it's really up to them when they give it to us. They go, we try to get them to do stuff. No, it was, they did awesome. It looked awesome. So we're going to have that. I don't know, I mean, we've got Joe's coming out.

hopefully soon and then it'll probably come after that maybe summer August or something like that but yeah we did we had a lot of comics on it a lot of great comics on it a lot of different variety and you know and I think it's like it was I had a lot of fun doing that yeah it was great I somewhat directed it I stand there you were in the director's chair I was in the director's chair you were doing stuff I do sit in the director's chair yeah yeah

But it was, but yeah, those were just so much fun.

I really, really enjoyed doing that. Just all the comics there, all the comics hanging out. There's a lot of great comics that are super funny. And it was, you know, when I was watching, I was like, man, this thing is, like, this is going to be great. So I'm hoping to do more of those where, you know, you just get comics and pop in, do eight minutes or something like that. And then go do whatever. So, yeah. So there we go. And then we got another poster. And I just saw this, the Old Hickory to Broadway Bridgestone poster.

That's the first time I've seen that. So pretty neat. Pretty neat. So yeah, I was in Hershey this weekend. A few places. We were in Williamsport, Hershey, and in Norfolk. That's one of Aaron's favorite spots, Hershey. Yeah. I like Hershey. You do, don't you? It looks like you're back into it. So no, I'm joking.

They gave me, how much you think calories is in a five pound Hershey bar? A five. I saw that. So it's that giant oversized straight up Hershey. Yep. Five pounds. I'm going 10,000. I'm going 15. Yeah. I'll say 12,500. Uh, 11, five. Wow. 11, five. So not too bad for you. Not too bad. If you ate the whole thing, uh,

So, yeah, it's a lot of calories. You're eating five pounds, though. You're not counting calories. No. You're like, hey, I'm just doing a thing now. This is what I do. Hershey is unbelievable. It is a great spot. Pennsylvania is very nice. It's very pretty. It reminds you a lot of Tennessee. Like, it's just a lot of mountains and farmland. And Hershey is just a great park. I mean, if the guy was telling us some stuff about it, and I don't know everything about the Hershey story of the guy. Maybe we've talked about him before.

I don't remember. But he was, he's just so, like, the dude that ran Hershey, it's all about keeping it family. All the stuff is done there, I believe. All the candy is made. In the park? I don't know if it's in the park, but it's like, I could be saying all this and I could be wrong.

a guy told me this. That's a, and it wasn't even like, uh, my, it wasn't like, I'm a guy that knows everything. It was just a guy there.

Lived in the town. Yeah. Yeah. But it's like he makes it very family. It's very family-oriented. It's really a great park. A lot of roller coasters. So for the kids that like roller coasters and adults, I mean, some real deal roller coasters. I didn't know that it had all that. I didn't either. Because I was up in...

I don't know, whatever the other town is nearby Hershey, where they had a... They used to have a club and a hotel. Harrisburg. Harrisburg. No, not Harrisburg. Lancaster. Lancaster, yeah. They say it's Lancaster. They get mad if you say Lancaster. Yeah. But... And I didn't go to Hershey, but I would have went. I just thought it would be like a...

like Disneyland, but like a lot of chocolate. Yeah. But this seems like a Six Flags with a lot of chocolate. Yeah, it is. It is. That's probably a better way to do it. I mean, yeah, I didn't know where you were going with that because I figured that Disney with a lot of chocolate would be enough to make you go look at it. But Disney feels like it's, I don't know, maybe I've not gone to Disney in a while. Well, I've definitely not gone in a while, but it feels like it's just like you're just looking at stuff. But Six Flags feels like you're participating. Yeah, but that's the fun.

Yes. They are two different fields. Six Flags is a lot of rides. Yeah. Like, it's a lot of roller coasters. You participate at Disney World too, right? You do. I don't know. I went as a kid. Yeah.

I did go as an adult. This is all going off your kid brain? It is, yeah. Memory? I went as an adult with selling pesticides with Spectracide. So that was different. Did you try to get Disney to be a customer? I'm sure they did. That would have been a big one. Yeah. That would have been a big one. Yeah, it would have been. That would have been nice. You might not have been a comedian. That's true. You land the Disney account. I might have got some respect from the company. Yeah. You move up. I think you got an office. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, you know, a different life, you know? It could have been a different life for me. Yeah. A life of luxury, really, I bet. So even as a kid when you went to Disney, you thought it was too corporate? Yeah, I mean. It's dumb. Well, you know, I went to like Epcot or whatever, and I remember going on a ride in the ball, you know, and being like, this is like cool, but not really that fun. Yeah. Where Six Flags, you're like on the Georgia Cyclone or whatever, and you're like, this is wild. Yeah. Yeah.

I tell you what, a lot of people don't hear the privileged side of a trailer park kid. But I think we've got one right here that can't handle. Disney goes, all right, let's go back to the trailer. Yeah. Yeah. It's a little too family friendly for me. Yeah. Maybe it's too fancy. Yeah.

And where you come from, you want, like I do, the vibe of a Six Flags is different. Yeah. You're there for, you want to be scared. You want to ride some rides. You want to go upside down. It's Walmart versus Target is what it feels like. We were getting like coupons off bags of bread and Coke cans for Six Flags. Yes. I mean, we really were taking bags of bread for money off. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I mean, then we would go to- Well, yeah, we would do, yeah. For Kentucky Kingdom. Yep. Like, yeah, you would get like, you get cans and yeah, we did that too. Kings Island, you get cans off. Yeah, and then you'd go out to the parking lot and eat lunch out of the cooler. Yeah. Get real soaked in your denim jeans on a water ride and then you get real chafe the rest of the day. Yeah. Have a tough time walking. Yeah. You're like, this is a blast. Yeah. It was fun. It's, yeah, it is. That's a good way to put it though. Yeah.

is the Six Flags with chocolate. Yeah. It's, it's, but they, you know, it's a, it's that more, but it's a very, it's a wonderful, it's a really, really nice park. The downtown has, the streetlights are Hershey Kisses.

So all the streetlights are Hershey Kisses. They got a great downtown. It's just a nice place. And I really liked everybody. Like, people are very nice there. I really just had it pictured as being like a real old park that people weren't going to anymore. Oh, yeah. But you see the website here, and you're like, this is up to date. Look, it could be a park. I mean, I think people up there know about it. But I would tell...

You mean go to it with your fan? Like there's just, it's just a, it's just a cool park. It's not, you're not going to go there. Like you're going to go to Disney and be there for a week or something, obviously, because Disney's enormous, but you go there for a weekend or like a few days. Like you, I, you know, it's like going to Dollywood.

Dollywood's a wonderful park. Like, you're not going to go to Dollywood for a week, but you go to Dollywood and it's a good time. Yeah. It's like worth, it's awesome to go. And Hershey's that too. It's all the kisses and Reese's and it's cool, man. It's cool. And then we got to do, so Abigail set up, we had an Airbnb in Hershey. We were there two nights. And, uh,

It was an awesome Airbnb, and they had a pool. And so we were staying there, and I didn't know this was happening. Abigail set this thing up. Jesse and his son Kenny came, forgotten friends, reptile. Jesse Rothacker. Yeah. He runs the Facebook fan page for—

Or he's one of the administrators. And so awesome, awesome dude, awesome family. His son was great. I mean, just great. They came to Bridgestone. They all drove down from Bridgestone. They were at that. And I mean, it was just very, very awesome. And so I didn't know Abigail set this up, so he came to the house and brought – like I walk outside, and there's just these reptiles everywhere.

And so I don't even know what's happening. Like Abigail like calls me and it's like one o'clock he comes over and is like, you know, the birthday thing is happening now. And I'm like, okay, I have no idea what this is going to be. And then you go out and then it's like, there's a basketball goal in the driveway. Well, he's got a snake on top of it. Just like right on, just on hanging on the rim.

And then we go over, there's a tortoise in the grass, and then he's got all the snakes. He's holding something, he's got corn snakes. He's got everything. He posted a video, we can post it on Nate Land, about saying the Gila monster. Yeah. And it was like super fun. So he has an alligator too, American alligator, little one. And he's like, you want to go see it swim in the pool? And we're like, yeah, of course.

Like, of course we want to go, you know. So we go and we get in the pool with the alligator just to be like, kind of like, all right, you're swimming with an alligator. I mean, it's a very little alligator, but it's still kind of crazy. And you're always kind of like, where is it? Like, it's hard to see. Well, he also had a python that was 13 feet long. And then he goes, you want to see if that gets in here? And you're like, yeah. And so if you can see this video, just a little quick video. So we put this in.

And I mean, it's crazy, dude. It's crazy. We swam. There's an alligator also in that pool. Oh, yeah. This is like one of those things where if it all goes well, it's all very exciting. But if something goes wrong, you're like, what were you thinking? Yeah. Why did you get in? Worst fan ever. Yeah. Why did you do it? You go, I don't know. We shouldn't have done it. But it was...

Is that like an albino python? It's like yellow and white. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to tell you what. It's very calming for some reason. I don't get it. You don't look calm there. You look like you're contemplating. I mean, you would think if you put me in any other water that close to a snake, I ain't sitting there just thinking. You're just going to be, you're going to. Oh, it's calm and having a guy right there who knows how to handle all these animals. And he's going the other direction. He would walk away at times.

He would walk away. That's what I don't like. When you're around animal people and they leave you with the animals. It's like, no, you'll be here the whole time. Yeah. Yeah.

He would, you know, we had this alligator in the pool. You're like, if this thing gets out, it takes off running. Which the Airbnb family, I'd imagine, did not sign up for this. They go, hey, we were looking at our ring video doorbell, and there's just alligators and tortoises running around. They had a lot of rules, and I hope one of the new rules is, could you know...

pythons or alligators in the pool. And people are like, why would that ever happen? We've had it happen. Yeah. Python poop in the pool. Tortoise in the yard, fine. Fine. They tie a balloon on a tortoise so you can see where it goes. Oh, okay. Really? Because a tortoise can kind of get going. And they don't go super fast, but they don't stop. Yeah. And so if you just don't pay attention, next thing you know, that thing –

It could be in the middle of a field and you don't... He's like, the hardest part is you don't know how to find it. So the video we're showing right now, the snake is on that basketball hoop. We got a whole video to kind of show you everything. I'll post it. But it was... Yeah, I mean, dude, swimming with a snake, it's just...

Weirdly enough, it is comforting. Like, there's a calming to it. I think it's like because you know where the – like, you're looking at the danger, and I know where the danger is at. And then so it's not – And then you remember there's also an alligator behind you.

behind you. Yeah, sometimes, oh man, you'd have someone just come like, my dad got Julian. Julian was looking at an alligator and he kind of threw a basketball at the back of it and just made a splash. And I mean, yeah, there's a lot of jumping. Yeah. There's a lot of whoop, whoop. You're just going, where is, where, all right. You know, every couple minutes is like, where's the alligator?

But the alligator kind of stayed over by these waterfall things. It just kind of was like, oh, it really- It knew its place. It kind of wanted to go over there. It kind of recognizes, I'm not the star of the show right now. Yeah, it's kind of bad. Yeah, it's at 13. He's over on now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was a crazy, crazy-

I mean, just like we were just the snake. We're all just sitting there. It just kind of swims by you. I mean, at one point, we're going where it does that, where it kind of swim toward Eric. But it comes and it's like swimming and you see it and you're like, this is, you're almost like you're looking at your nightmare.

Like if just you imagine this thing, but it's just kind of swims and swims around you. Yeah. And then you're like, all right. Yeah. If snakes are cool there, they can be great, but you never know when they're not going to be cool. You just don't know what's going on in their head. Eric and Chase learned they both like snakes a lot. Yeah. And so, yeah, Eric wants to get one now.

But Jamie's got a bunch of tattoos, so you'd think he would probably do something like that. Yeah. I'm surprised he doesn't have, you know. Yeah, me too. I mean, at one point he had two snakes. He's just walking around with them. They're in his pocket. He's FaceTiming his kids and wife. She's been like, Tim, we'll get a snake. Travis, tour manager, stayed inside the whole time. Yeah, I was about to say. He doesn't seem like a guy who'd be in the pool with us. No, he did not.

He wouldn't even really come out. Like, you know. Yeah, I like a frog in the pool, and that's about it. I like a good old frog in there. Well, this thing would have taken care of that frog. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah. They could rather have a snake than a frog.

no no frog frog is you know that feels like a real i know it's an amphibian but it's still a reptile and uh i i like i hate when i hate when they split that up you know what i mean like they're still in that reptile family different things don't be you know but reptiles and amphibians are always lumped together they're hanging out but they're different yeah but they're like they're kind of the same thing yeah they are they just start differently uh amphibian is starts as like a little fish and then evolves into a

of an animal and then grows legs yeah whereas a turtle is born a turtle it's not you know what i mean a turtle is amphibian too turtles reptile reptile yeah yeah okay what else is amphibian i think certain types of lizards like salamanders okay and then it's a loose yeah they start as like tadpoles and then they grow their legs yeah yeah and they emerge onto the water

Reptiles are born with lungs, typically lay their eggs on dry land and have scaly skin. Amphibians are born with gills and later develop lungs. They lay their eggs in water. Amphibians, they're hanging out in water more. Yeah. That's the difference. But they're not born with legs, really. Okay. They grow the legs. Like a little tadpole. Mm-hmm. They lose their tail. No, we don't start with legs either. Yeah. You're really hung up on this leg thing. Yeah. Well, I mean, I raised a tadpole before, you know, to a frog. Yeah. Well...

How'd it go? Was that hard work? Yeah, well, I mean, I had caught 40 or so of them, and only one made it. Only one? Terrible batting average. Yeah, it's tough. Probably 40 could have made it if you hadn't have caught them. Yeah, I put them in an aquarium, and it got rough. It got hard for them.

actually i don't know how long they were in there but somehow that the thing froze it had like turned to winter time and it froze and it was a thick layer of ice in the aquarium and me and my mom like we i was like i bet all those tentpoles are dead now and then we looked underneath and they were like two still alive so we chiseled through there and got them out and then my mom dropped one of them down the sink and so we had the one left i raised it to a frog made it was your aquarium outside

Yeah. It was just like on the porch. It was like, obviously like I caught him and then kind of lost interest. Yeah. Forgot about him for a few weeks. But what, and how long did it take to get to a frog? It felt like it took a long time. Well,

Like weeks? And was it like you saw it get to like a big frog or did you let it go eventually? Well, it died eventually. Oh, okay. But it got out. Yeah. And then we found it dead. 12 to 16 weeks typically for a tadpole to become a frog. I would catch little flies. You know, flies will get in like the window. I would catch them and I would rip off a wing and then put it in there and the frog would catch it and eat it. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. It was great. It was a fun kid pet. Yeah, yeah.

Surprised you didn't go to Disney World. Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm into it. Do you get weird ads based on the stuff that you search? Sometimes, yeah. You know what you should use? ExpressVPN. That's pretty good. That is good. I don't know if that's anything to do with what ExpressVPN is, but it's a decent segue. That's pretty good. I mean, I didn't know what you were talking about. I didn't know either.

Listen, the economy's not getting better. We all know that. It's important to save money and cut back on expenses. I save a lot.

By using ExpressVPN. If you spend a lot of money on streaming services like Netflix, Paramount+, Hulu, you name it, with ExpressVPN, you can cut back and save every month. Let me explain. All these streaming services like Netflix, come in a little closer. All these streaming services like Netflix have thousands of more shows than you think. You don't see them because you're only given certain shows based on where you are. Sports South, which you can't get in Nashville. No, I haven't. Well, look, with...

I have YouTube TV. You can't get Valley Sports on YouTube TV. I have Xfinity cable. Oh, yeah, yeah. Old cable. Yeah, old cable. He is just a champ. No guide. You just got to flip through it. Like in a hotel. Where's the clicker? The clicker. With like the real slow where you got to like click and it takes a minute. Man, we might talk about the TVs that had that dash sometimes.

Something that's like 104-5. Oh, yeah. 104-6. That stuff. What is that? I don't know. I mean, I would leave the town. If that's the cable my town has, I would go. It's insane. Yeah, it's like we got a lot of numbers. There's not really a need to get into decimals here. Yeah. I've been in some hotel rooms where it's all that. I don't know. But what it is is that's usually over-the-air signals like News Channel 5 has...

Channel 5, then 5-1, 5-2, 5-3. And it's secondary channels that show old movies or things like that. Or Brian and I making our television debut. Yeah, or the Circle Network. Channel 4-5. Yeah, whatever it was. How did they get to Dash 5, though? How would you get to Channel 4-5? I have no idea. Like, how do you put it in? Yeah. Four, and then there's a dash on your remote, and then five. They're like, we want to be a Channel 4-2, but...

That's a lot of stuff you got to know to do that. Sometimes it's 4.5. The old Xfinity remote that I had, you could just push a button and go, you can tell it what you want to watch, and it just pulls up. That's what mine is now. Atlanta Braves. And it comes up, and I'm like, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah. There's no flipping through. You got rid of that? Yeah. Yeah.

They were listening to you too close? Can I tell you what I think I'm very good at? Yeah. If you hand me remote control, I can feel where every button's supposed to be on there. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't need to look at it. Yeah. I've seen Aaron work a remote control. It's pretty impressive. Do you think you could figure out, like, so you go into someone's house, they have a bunch of remotes laying down. Oh, dude. Yeah.

And they go, well, he got nine different. I go, let me see it. I'll figure it out. Like the remotes where you have to like search the letters. Well, you can't see it. You have to feel it. I can feel it out. I can kind of know volume up. Sorry, Dustin. Right there. Volume down. You know. Yeah. Menu's going to be in the middle. I can do it behind my back. I'm just trying to say how great Aaron is. Thank you, man. I mean, it is like the way you got to find the letters. I mean, he is zooming through this thing. I'm like, whoa. Yeah.

Looks like a DirecTV guy. Like, you look like a guy that's just... This will be the next Krispy Kreme challenge. It's the difference in typing like this and then knowing how to type. I mean, it is really something to say. I remember, like, going to people's... Like, if someone ever had a complicated, like, a lot of remotes, and you got to... And people still do, where you go... You're like, I got seven remotes. And you go, well, cut this one on. That cuts this. You know, and you're like, well, why would you want to do this all the time? My grandpa had...

He had like nine and he had them chained up on like, it looked like janitor's keys on this main hook. That's awesome. There'd be nine different remotes hanging from it with chains. He'd throw it at you and be like, good luck.

When you see it, I don't like when you have to have two. I don't understand why you have to have two remotes. But you probably don't have two. Because there's different devices. You've got the sound system. That's going to have its own remote. Yeah. Get the TV. But can you get a universal remote and have them all? You can get universal remotes and program everything on it. Yeah. It just takes a lot. People don't know you can do that.

Yeah, that's a lot. But even like really sitting down and programming a universal remote, I mean, that takes some time. There's a lot going on. It feels like TV is too important to you. I bet you could throw a kid 20 bucks. Yeah, yeah, that's probably true. Well, you just, but you're, and then you lose that one remote. Now you got to go back. And that's exactly what happens. Like some family, some family does that. Then they lose that remote. Now they're back to four remotes. Yeah. But I bet you could, you find some kid, you know, 20 bucks. Can you figure this out?

That's true. My dad had a satellite, and he had a bunch of different remotes, and he had one button that you couldn't access with the remote, and you had to go up and push it on the TV. And he would call me into the room. I'd be way in my room, and he would call for me, and he'd go, hey, push that button up there. He could have just got up from the couch. Yeah, yeah. How far was your room really, though? Well, it was at my dad's house, so it wasn't a trailer. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

It wasn't that far, but it was still farther than his walk from the chair. I was before remotes, so I was the channel changer when I was a kid. Do you remember this watch? You were out there turning the antenna. This is a Casio watch with a built-in television remote you program with your TV. Oh, no. I don't know that. I watched a video of a guy hooking this up, using it on a modern TV. Right there. They still work.

Yeah, I guess now they want you to talk into the TV. Of course they do. I don't like talking. I don't ever talk to Siri. I feel very uncomfortable doing it. I don't like Siri, but with the remote control, because Siri never seems like it actually is quicker. I

I always see people doing, Siri, get me to the gas station. And I'm like, I could have typed it into Google by now, by the time we're done. Well, it just feels uncomfortable. I always just feel weird around it. Travis uses it a lot. I mean, I don't think even... He just always is like, text... Because you can go text Brian to come down now, and then it just sends that. But it's... Yeah, I feel weird. I'd rather... I feel...

It feels like... I'm going to say disingenuous. Is that the word? I thought you were going to say invasive. It could mean disingenuous. Maybe. Yeah, what do you mean? It just feels rude to me. Already texting can borderline feel like there's no actual bond. It's like you're an afterthought. At least if I'm texting, it's...

In my mind, it's like, all right, I'm at least putting some effort into saying I want you here versus if I'm just ordering stuff from my phone, you just feel like, well, I don't even care if you come. I'm just doing it because I have to. So I'll shout it into my phone. So it's actually more accurate that way.

That's how I feel, but I type it so he doesn't feel that. Also, if you're talking, you're almost just going back to calling. You might as well just call if you're going to be saying it. And I would rather call. Yeah. Yeah. I would rather. I mean, there's a lot of texting, but I don't, yeah. Yeah.

I feel like talk text too doesn't always pick up exactly what I'm saying. I've almost wrecked several times trying to edit because I'm trying to talk text so that I don't text and drive. But then I'm like, well, that word doesn't make sense. So I'm trying to edit. I think that's more dangerous than just texting and driving. Yeah. Yeah.

All right, let's read some comments. Did y'all have stuff we all did this weekend? I doubt. Fun as I do. I've done some very exciting things. Oh, wow. I worked with Larry the Cable Guy not long ago. That was very fun. I told Larry the Cable Guy Brian's story about meeting Cletus T. Judd and thinking it was Larry the Cable Guy. Yeah. He enjoyed the story. We had a lot of fun. We had a cigar together. It was great. Yeah. He's awesome. There's the two of y'all. Yeah. Look at y'all. Yeah, we had a great time. Where'd y'all work at? Oh,

casino in Oklahoma. Yeah. But it was just great to hang with Larry. I never had met him before. I met him, I did some radio stuff with him, but I never met him. So it was fun. We had a great time. He's a good dude. Yeah, we're like buddies now. Yeah. I mean, this was great.

And, yeah, I just got back from Springfield, Missouri at the Blue Room Comedy Club. I had a great time there. It was awesome. Great place. Always have a great time. A lot of Nateland people. I went to Conway, Arkansas to a Toad Something Festival. But the name sounds dirty, even though it was like a family-friendly thing. Toads suck. Yeah. Thanks for saying that. I didn't want to say it. But it was great, though. Outdoor show. I thought, this is going to be terrible. Oh, you performed there? Yeah. Wow.

Yeah, on Friday. You really get stereotyped, huh? Yeah, yeah. Justin Smith was there too, right? Justin Smith was there, yeah. Oh, was he? Oh, it's a comedy festival? Well, it's a big festival, and they had a big comedy show. Oh, wow. Yeah, me and Justin, Will O'Donnell. It was great. Yeah. Yeah. That's fun. Yeah. I did Dallas, Texas since I've been here, Addison Improv. Great. Sold out two shows during the week. I mean, it was great. That was great. It was hot. I got one funny thing. All right. All right.

It's a lot of pressure now. Yeah, no, you set it up. I had a corporate gig in Spokane on Saturday of last week. And I'm connecting in Seattle. And I got my carry-on suitcase and I got my backpack. And then I get on the plane and go to Spokane.

And the plane takes off and I'm sitting there and like, I don't have my suitcase with me. I just left it. I left it at the Seattle airport. So I'm flying to Spokane. This is a big fundraising event. And I'm wearing jeans, tennis shoes, and a t-shirt. And I'm like, I don't have my clothes. I don't have my CPAP machine, but I can't worry about that now. I don't have like clothes to wear to this event.

So I had to go to Walmart and put together an outfit like last minute, dude. I scrambled to Walmart. I bought a $38 outfit. Is this it? Yeah.

That's funny. Yeah, it wasn't. I mean, look, a $30 outfit that didn't look much worse than what I normally wear. But I ended up just walking out at this gig and I explained what happened and it was great. Like they loved that. But I was worried about it the whole day. Yeah. Because this is like they raised a ton of money. People are dressed up nice and I'm wearing this.

What did you buy? Just like a button down, some khakis, some Shaquille O'Neal tennis shoes. Shaquille O'Neal tennis shoes. Those cheap Walmart sneakers. Yeah. I just wanted something to look clean. I was wearing like my grass cutting shoes. Yeah. So I just looked like trash, but it ended up going great. Meanwhile, at the Seattle airport, they think a bomb is in the airport. Well, that's what I...

I was worried about that too, because it's still ingrained in my head. If you leave a suitcase even 10 yards away from you, everybody will think it's a bomb.

But it took three days for somebody to turn it into Lost and Found. Wow. So it sat in the corner of a Hudson News or something, I guess, for three days. And nobody thought it was a problem. Well, I imagine mostly people are leaving suitcases. Like, you're just going to see it. If you work there, you're like, you're just going to see it every two years. Sure, sure. Did you get it back? I got it back. I had to pay. They shipped it back to me. What did you do about the CPAP?

I just went to target. I wish you could, man. Yeah. They're not that accessible. I just didn't sleep great for three or four days. Yeah. Yeah. It was tough. Anyway. Oh, that's a long time though too. And who is this team? This, the Spokane Indians is their minor league baseball team. And they came out. I met the mascot, uh, Ribby, the red band trout. He came out and he gave me this Jersey and the hat. Hmm.

That's fun. That is a cool. Yeah. What would you say is the biggest night of the year for minor league baseball? Probably July 4th weekend. I would say so too. And that's why the Nashville sounds have asked me to throw out the first pitch on July 4th. Have they really? About that. Whoa. Wait, they asked you?

Kind of. You can't frame it like that. Just don't get into the details. Don't get so deep. We talked, all right? Bottom line is I'm doing July 4th, first pitch. How bad? Are you worried, Ben? No, you've seen me. I'm a natural athlete. You are a deceptively good athlete. Not even deceptively. But I haven't seen you. I don't think I've seen you throw something. I want to come see that. I've never been there, but I want to come see you throw the first pitch.

They gave me a few dates, and I said, well, I'll take July 4th. That's when most people are there. It'll probably be sold out. I mean, it's packed there on July 4th. Like 12,000 people. Big hot dog day.

I said, look, I've done 19,365. I can handle 12,000, all right? What's your strategy? Talk me through it. Are you going to actually try? I mean, what are you going to do? I asked him. I said, can I stand on the mound? Can I do the – I said, yeah, have fun with it. Go with it and do whatever you want to do. So I've been watching some videos of some people. Jerry Seinfeld threw a very good first pitch. He had the glove and everything. Of course, is he part owner of the Mets or is he just a huge fan? He's a giant fan. Maybe. I don't know. But he threw a great –

So he went out there. He kind of went sidearm with it. That's the Seinfeld look. He's got a Mets t-shirt with the blazer on over it. Takes the blazer off. Brian, you're doing all this, aren't you? Oh, yeah. You're going to spike your jacket down? Wow. That was a good pitch. It was a good pitch. A little movement on it, too. Yeah. All right. So I've been watching Bill Burr throughout one at the Red Sox game. And so I'm going to come, like Jerry, over the top. Yeah. My day. That's what we did. Yeah.

Are you going to do some training, though? No. Or are you just going to watch the videos? I'm a natural. He's a visual learner. Are you going to go throw? I've never pitched before, so off the mound. I might throw a couple. Is that tough off the mound? No. Well, it might be for you. I mean, I can throw a pitch, but on level ground. Are you going to get it there?

We'll see. Yeah. That's why I say, I mean, I might go throw a couple, you know, just to get yourself ready. Yeah. Yeah. Can I come over your house and throw with you?

Do you have a glove? No, but I'll get one. Yeah. I got a glove. I mean, I can throw here. Yeah. Because we're both lefties, so. Yeah. Oh. Lefty, too. Lefty, yeah. That's a whole different thing. Oh, yeah. They might sign you to the team. They always want a left-handed pitcher. You never know. They knew the story I've told on the podcast about me. Oh, that's cool. Not the stealing first, but I told a story that same episode about some contest they had on the field, and I sailed it over. Yeah.

the people's head and they're like, here's your chance to redeem yourself. So this is a full circle moment for you. What are a redemption arc? We'll see. Yeah. I'm excited, man. I'll be there. Yeah. All right. That's exciting. That'll be crazy. We need to go throw. We should. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Tell everyone it's more concerned than I am. I like to say this way, but I'm a natural athlete to like, actually, you know what, I will go through it all. Yeah. We need to take it serious. If you go out there representing Nate Land, we can't have you. And you're a pickleball or you're a made-up whatever game we played, legend. So you can't, you know. That's true. That's true. Can't people see the weakness in you?

Right? All right. Yeah. If there is any. Is there any? We don't know. Yeah, I don't think there is. Yeah. I think I'm pretty ironclad. A lot of people are sending me videos now of the left foot. Well, their case, right foot, coming up late on this golf shot. So it's taken off. People see me and now they're trying to do it. Oh, yeah? They've sent me some professionals that have done it. Now they're hitting out of...

The sand or something. They're like, look, there was one video of you when you were playing in that pro-am where your foot came up a little late. They're like, Nate's doing it. Yeah, it caught on. Yep. We saw these comments. Do we need to do anything? Well, I mean, since we're talking about professional athletes, we could talk about Viore. Viore. That's why I wear this. They asked me to. Oh, yeah? Because they heard about my athletic ability. Yeah, yeah. They go, you're the body we want in that. Yep. And...

Viore. I've got all Viore on now. Pants, like joggers, this jacket I wear every day. The whole podcast crew loves their Viore. All things we have are great. Athletic core shorts, I wore those. I wear those a lot. Yeah, they have the ones with the liners in them too. I mean, it's just, you just get up, throw them on. It's the best. I love the outdoor trainer shell jacket. That is what I wear. Specifically up related. Yeah.

Thanks for bringing attention to the forgotten part of the state. Yeah. UP. Oh. UP related. Still up, though. Upper. It's up there. It's up related. It's up there for sure. It's up. Yeah. What's a youper? That's an Upper Peninsula person? A youper? A youper, yeah. I like it up there. Yeah, I want to go up there. Yeah. It's a nice nature. Saw an eagle up there. Oh, wow. Yeah. Just driving down the road. Just saw an eagle. Mm-hmm.

Ooh.

And I think you missed a pretty crazy fact about Michigan that you could all get behind. Canadian coins are accepted in Michigan just as American coins, especially near the Detroit area. Wow. Wow, I didn't know that. That's interesting. That is nice. They do have a Tim Hortons, which I think of as a Canadian place. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Used to always...

I remember, like, I feel like there used to be, I guess you were around change a lot more. Yeah. Or you'd always run into the Canadian, oh, this is a Canadian coin. I feel like you would get in and wouldn't fit. Yeah. And that happened a bunch. It used to happen, like, I remember it happening to me and like,

It's a Canadian coin. It doesn't fit in the machine. You run into that problem more. I haven't used change in a long time. I haven't either. I think it's going. You don't hear it talked about as much. Now they got a credit card, and even on the vending kind of stuff. It's old. Like, park some old parking meters still. Yeah. It's kind of crazy. I needed some change for a parking meter the other day. I had a bunch of Canadian coins in the truck. Really? And I was like, well, that's not going to work. Did you try it? I didn't try it.

I actually have never gotten a parking ticket in Nashville, so I don't really ever worry about it. Wow. You're going to get one today. Yeah. Yeah. We might write one. Put that out in the world. Somebody hears that. You're going to leave Nate's house. Yeah, I'm going to have one written where he parked in the driveway. Did you ever use, Brian, did you ever do like a, I think they're called slugs, where you tie a string to a quarter and you put it in, then you yank it back out? Yeah.

I feel like those were real popular when you were... No, but Quinnstar's been a big part of my life. Oh, yeah? So those Canadian pennies or whatever would always come back out. Oh, they would? It's like, how do they know, dude? It's just different. But we just had a birthday party for Eleanor. My mom got her a piggy bank, and she's like, you can just put your change in here, and it'll add up. And I thought, she'll never even know change. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you'd put...

I remember growing up, like someone, I thought like, because when I went to school, like some people had money and you would hear like some kid be like, well, his dad always puts, when he comes home, anything less than a 20, he puts in a change thing. Yeah. Wow. I remember hearing that somewhere. It's crazy. Yeah. And I was like, oh my God. Like, good night. You just get that. That's a lot of money.

You could just be like stowing away. I remember rolling change just to go buy things, you know? Roll up some nickels and you get like $2 and you could go buy a Coke or something. Yeah, that was big time. Yeah. Yeah, that would be, that was like fun. Yeah. Yeah. I also read when I looked, researched that Canada, Canada.

Wow. Yeah. It's kind of in between. I had a stroke there. Should I go Canada or go Canadian? They send a lot of their trash to Michigan. A lot of their garbage goes to Michigan. Wow. Wow. So they got a lot of landfills there. That does not look good for Michigan. Well, I guess they make money off of it. Yeah. Michigan's big on recycling cans. I remember that buying beer in Ann Arbor. You have to pay the deposit per can, and then you return them all. Yeah, they're big on that.

Yeah, that's good. Leona Lee. That's like Seinfeld. He goes, when he's dead, he ripped the label off. You can hardly tell. Leona Lee. The Mackinac Bridge was the longest suspension bridge in the world when it was built and is still the longest in the Western Hemisphere. The center lanes are great so the wind doesn't blow it right into the straights. Some

Some people are intimidated by it, so you can call bridge support and have someone drive you and your car across. Oh. Yeah, we've been across that, I think, right? We did. We drove across that bridge. But they call it Mackinac, right? Mackinac. Even though it's spelled Mackinac. Yeah. And then they get mad at you if you say Mackinac. Yeah, as if it's obvious. Yeah. I've heard of Mackinac. Don't spell it like that. Don't spell it like Mackinac if you mean it to be Mackinac.

You've heard of Mackinac? I have heard of Mackinac. A couple weeks ago, we talked about it. Yeah, probably then. Yeah, that's bridge. I get being on a bridge and being like, all right, you feel it would be a lot. I think I've been across the Golden Gate Bridge, and it's crazy. You're so far up there. Oh, yeah. I remember walking across the Golden Gate Bridge, and it's just so hot. Jafiro phobia. It's the fear of bridges. Yeah.

Did y'all call bridge support and have them drive you guys over? No, we didn't do that. But I have family members, one in particular, very scared. I remember being in the car with her and we got to the bridge and she's like, she had to get out and let somebody else drive. She's like, I cannot drive over this bridge. Wow.

Wow. So I guess that is a common thing if they have a whole task force out there to drive people across. Did they switch back or did they just? After they got by the bridge, they switched back. Oh, well. I'll just take over from now on. Yeah, that's what I would do. You had to go, you're just not driving anymore. If you can't handle the bridge, I'd hate for us to encounter some traffic. It'd be interesting if they would have. Yeah. I'll just take it from here. Yeah.

You know what? We might go over some other bridges. Or you got to go over that bridge coming back. So just stay, keep driving. How big of a bridge was it? Not that big. The one that gets to Dauphin Island from-

From Mobile, Alabama. Oh, that one's pretty big, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's substantial. It's not the longest in the Western Hemisphere, but it's pretty big. But it's long. It's a long bridge, and then it's got a... It's enough that you'd be like, yeah. It's a bridge bridge. Oh, I might have done that. Yeah, and it's like a crazy... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, some of them are, like, you go across, and you're like, yeah, I get it, how you can be nervous.

This is the one. It's a big kind of hump in the middle. Such a long bridge, too, and then it's got that big hump. All right. I'm back on board. Patrick McCormick, the first season of anything featuring Zack Morris was Good Morning, Miss Bliss, and is why you won't find it as the first season of Saved by the Bell.

Dude, that's got to be tough. You have a show built around you. Oh, yeah. And then they're like, you're actually not the star of the show. But then they also drop two of the kids. Uh.

Yeah, so I do remember all these kids. Yeah. Yeah, they dropped those two. I remember the one, the girl on the left, the second on the left, she made it pretty far. I think the kid on the right did not. This guy? Yeah, I think he was out pretty quick. They were like, let's get a bit of Ralph Macchio here and get some hotter kids in there. Yeah. He kind of looks like Ralph Macchio, doesn't he? Yeah. I don't know if they said hotter kids. That's funny.

get some hot kids in here. You know, you know what I mean. So Dusty will watch. But yeah, and I remember that lady. Yeah, that is, you know, it's crazy how kids were looking at her. Right, right, right. So this show was set in Indianapolis and then the next season it was just set in Bayside, California. And they don't explain. The whole school just picked up and moved to LA. Yeah, I think so. California. This was your guy's heyday, I guess. Yeah. I was already too old for it. Yeah.

It was the 90s. I was in college and working. You were like, what happened to Miss Mills? Yeah, I was... I remember her, what, like... But yeah, I mean, what's bad is, though, to be getting on that show and... Because I don't know if they get residual checks or something, but if you're that girl, they switch the show, you want to be like, can I get some... Yeah, yeah. They're like, we'll give you some...

or whatever they, you know, like on the new one. Because then now it's on forever. Yeah, give me a producer credit or something. But I mean, they don't know that, I guess, at the beginning. Did she ever get a cameo in Saved by the Bell? I wonder. That'd be nice. I feel like it. I think I read when they released the Saved by the Bell box set years later, they put that season in there.

So she probably gets residuals for that. Okay. Good for her. I just watched last night, back in my day, Family Ties. Yeah, I was. I was a big Michael J. Fox fan. Great show. Back, Future, Teen Wolf, those were... And it's still good. Family Ties, great show. I watched a bunch of Family Ties episodes the other day. It was so great. Yeah. I don't know if I ever... What's the plot of the show? It's just a family?

Yeah, but I mean, he's very funny. He's a young Republican, really into Ronald Reagan. His parents are kind of hippies. They work at public television. It's a very funny show. Never watched it. Yeah. What was the show Kirk Cameron was on? Growing Pains. Yeah. Growing Pains. Different show? Yeah. Great show, though. No, it was the same show. Yeah.

Well, sometimes they alternate it. Do they ever do crossover episodes? That happens a lot. It's different networks. I was watching King of Queens the other day and all of a sudden Raymond shows up. Yeah. They were in the same world. Okay. But this is a different universe. Yeah. Family ties. Okay. Yeah. Different networks. I met Michael J. Funk. Did we talk about it? I don't think we did. Oh.

Oh, is that what you're trying to set me up for? Yeah. Oh. I thought you might want to share the story. Oh, yeah. I wasn't going to say on the air I'm setting you up, but that was a good. Well, you said, yeah, that was a good setup. But then I was like, are you? It was so subtle you weren't sure if you should mention it? Yeah, I was like, are you trying to? Yeah, I did meet Michael J. Fox. I did a show for a benefit show for Parks. And he's got a new show out called Steel. It comes out May 12th.

But the Michael J. Fox Foundation, I mean, Parkinson's is insane, dude. I saw – there's some photos from that event. It's – where at? Yeah. It's just insane. But I just searched Michael J. Fox Nashville. Yeah, it is. I mean, brutal. And so it's like I feel like they're getting close, like, but you just – it's – I mean, it's so – it's just so, like, crazy. But it was – he was awesome, dude. He was awesome. Like, we just talked about, like –

You know, he's talking about back to the future. He's trying to get his guitar from Back to the Future, the first one. Oh, yeah. He's trying to find it. Maybe they're doing a documentary about it or something. They're trying to find that documentary. He's just, yeah, just a good dude. Paisley, Brad Paisley was there.

And so the whole thing was like the whole, they had this, they had food that was great. This chef made all the food for the place. And I'm, you know, I'm not good at describing it. It was at Belmont and their new center there, they have a beautiful. Oh,

The Fisher Center? The Fisher Center. It's very, very pretty. It's very... And it's just done so well. But we... Yeah, we went to this and meeting him and it was crazy. I mean, it's crazy meeting him. Like, he's just...

He was so famous. Just, you know, at the time, like just – Court McCown, who's a comic that just moved here to Nashville, and he was in Teen Wolf, I believe. And I believe they made Teen Wolf and then they held on to it and released Back to the Future first. But the Back to the Future was filmed after Teen Wolf. Teen Wolf was already done.

And then they did Back to the Future. Then they went back to Teen Wolf. But Michael J. Fox was... There's a point where you're like, I don't know if he makes it bigger than that guy. He had a movie, Doc Hollywood, too. Oh, that's another great one. And I love that movie. Doc Hollywood is so great. Yeah. It was a little bit later, but yeah. Yeah. And then Spin City was a show that he had. Yep. That was really good. And he was on West Wing, right? No. Oh, never mind. Spin City, I guess. That's a political show.

I don't remember what it was about. It is crazy. How are they not making stuff like this anymore? I know. I mean, you think the 80s and the 90s was just like the heyday of movies? It doesn't feel like they make this kind of stuff anymore. Well, the movies they're making now make so much more money than any of these movies. I've never heard of this movie, Doc Hollywood. It's great.

But it's, yeah, it's like, but you bought into a star. Like, it was like, all right, they bought into Michael J. Fox. So then they just was like, put him in anything. And then all the movies are great and everybody loves him and he's just in everything. But the movies are pretty original ideas, are very original ideas. Yeah. And I guess now they just keep making the, it is for that,

billions of dollars they're making but like there's nothing fun like that like Teen Wolf and like this stuff was fun it was like a fun you know movie and versus now it's like nothing's fun anymore yeah I mean I agree it's such a crazy like because they were yeah yeah I mean who would be a star like him now The Rock

Yeah, but... Not like... He was a kid, dude. Rock Hollywood. That's what it would be. Yeah. They should be making... I guess it could be like Rock or Kevin Hart, where they're making that kind of stuff. But he was making teen movies and young... And Michael J. Fox was like a normal guy, though. I think that's what it was. You see The Rock and you're like, all right, this is not a normal person. Michael J. Fox was the most normal man. I mean, he was huge. Yeah. Huge. Huge.

All right. Zach Walker, apparently saved by the bell, wrapped up shooting 10 episodes in the fourth and final season. And then the network suddenly ordered 10 more episodes, but the contracts expired for all the cast. They couldn't get new contracts agreed to for the people playing Kelly and Jesse, and they didn't want to recast them. So they just invented a new character, Tori, and then aired those episodes in the middle of the season.

I think that's the girl maybe you were talking about last week. Wait, Kelly was out after? Yeah, I remember Tori. And then, no, it was that girl that's on that Miss Bliss show. Oh, it was. Yeah, that's who I remember. Well, maybe we looked at the photo of Tori.

on the Michigan episode. I feel like... She had the leather jacket. Yeah. Yeah, so did Kelly and Jesse, they left? According to him, they couldn't re-sign them, so they were just like... We're just going off Zach Walker. I think Zach knows. I think... We do believe. I think we use all you guys... He's like our guy in Hershey for the info. I think he even sent a link to an article that I didn't believe because I trust him. I trust him too. So...

Kelly and Jesse, here's what I would, and I guess with their careers, they did good. Kelly went on to 90210, right? Yeah, I think so. And did other big stuff. Tiffany Amber. Yeah. And then Jesse did stuff. She took a different direction. She took a different direction. But that movie was big, I think. Yeah. I mean, if nothing else from just Saved by the Bell fans that were like, this is very exciting. But then Zach, he stayed.

I feel like it's like you could see that where they want to negotiate for more money and all this stuff like that. And there's people that are going to just like hold it. I guess if they're done and they're like, I don't want to do this anymore. But a lot of times you're like, you should probably hang in there. Yeah. Until it's. Slater's really had the best success. Yeah. I mean, he's still. He's probably the most famous. Yeah. From which out of all of them.

Right now, dude, he's been the most famous since then. He's on every hotel. Well, that's what I know him from. Is he doing other stuff? No, no. Not that that's a bad gig. No, it's that. But I'm saying still it's the most recognizable. Doesn't he host an entertainment show? I think so. Yeah. Mario Lopez, yeah. Yeah, I mean, he's just Mario Lopez now, but he's just really wrapped his career perfectly into...

Vice has a show called The Dark Side of Comedy, and they did one documentary on Screech. I felt sorry for him after watching it. He had a hard life. Dustin Diamond. Dustin Diamond. He was much younger on the show than the rest of them. Part of his life being hard was that everyone knows him as Screech and not as Dustin Diamond. Yeah. Yeah. I opened for him once. Did you? Yeah. I was about to ask if any of y'all worked with him. How was it? Caroline's. It was fun. I don't remember it being-

And there's part of me that thinks we even canceled, but I don't remember that. I can't remember. But he was... When I did it, it was... I think it wasn't like... It felt... Because I think I heard stories. But when I'm... You know, he was at a place where it's probably a little more of a humbling place where it was like it's kind of going the wrong way. So I don't remember having...

There was nothing that stood out. He was just like, "Yeah, I met him. He was fine when I met him," and stuff like that. It couldn't have been probably 10 years before he died or something like that. He just got put into ... You could just put into something.

Yeah, he was on Saved by the Bell the college years also, I believe. Well, he was so recognizable, too, from that. It's like, I mean, what do you do career-wise after that? It's... Stand-up comedy. Yeah, but it's like you could almost... You'd almost have to go like a...

I think to have enjoy life is like a, almost like a motivational speaker type role. Oh yeah. Like something that's very positive. Cause you're like, all right, use your recognition, like use your fame for, I'm going to be a motivational speaker. At least like then you're, you're sending positive stuff. Like Slater did that. Mario Lopez is like, he's a very positive person. And so you, you,

You see him as a, you know, his big smile and the dimples and he's, but it's like, he's a welcoming person. And so like you went the route of that. Yeah. He can be the host of anything. You can be, it's like, you can do that route.

Yeah, I think Dustin Diamond tried to, and I don't know, but I think he tried to go like real dirty comic route, right? And it's like, you're like running from Screech rather than him just embracing it. Embracing it, yeah. And go, this is what you got dealt with, and then you do it, and then you could, you know, it's like, I imagine you got to gradually, Mr. Balding's a comic too, right?

Belding. Belding. Mr. Belding. I like Mr. Balding, though. I'm pretty sure he's a comic. Mr. Belding does comedy, too. Yeah, I think he does stand-up. Dennis Haskins. Yeah, I think he does stand-up. He went to Notre Dame. He was born in Chattanooga. Wow, look at that.

Notre Dame and Chattanooga. Yeah, Notre Dame High School. This could be you one day, Aaron. Yeah. Play basketball at UT Chattanooga after failing to make the team at UT? Where is he in? He's 72 years old. Wow. Did he do stand-up? I think he did stand-up. No, it's not on his Wikipedia. Well, I mean, you don't know what you're doing. What?

Just type in his name, Dennis Haskins, in stand-up comedy. I just did a find, and the word comedy does not appear on this entire Wikipedia page. I know, but maybe it's not in the Wikipedia page. You think there's other literature on him that includes? I think there could be a flyer. Dennis Haskins, stand-up comedy. You got a lot of Dennis Regan stuff. All right. But nothing. Internet's maybe not on to it yet. Nate knows. Yeah, I know. Maybe he wasn't.

Julie Forkner. Forkner. Julie Forkner. That's probably a tough last name. Yeah. I talked with my husband about the fence thing with Dusty's neighbor. He used to be in residential and commercial property management and had really good insight that I thought y'all would find interesting. You put the flat, nice side in.

You put the flat side facing out so no one can climb your fence and gain access to your property. The horizontal support beams make climbing the fence much easier. That's a great point. Well, that's exactly what my sister said to me. Yeah. But the problem is I have, you know, my other neighbor put up a fence. So that nice side is facing me and my other neighbor put up a fence. The nice side's facing me. So they can gain entrance on those way, those sides. I was trying to make it all match, right?

Yeah, but now you're the entrance into everybody's yard. Yeah. So like everybody, they're all having on the inside the nice side. Then you're the, it's like, well, just go to Dusty's house. And from there, you can get into everybody's house. Yeah. Well, I got two nice sides. And then I have the fence I put up, which is not the nice side. So I can get into my neighbor's yard and everybody else can get into mine. Mm-hmm.

When was the last time you hopped a fence? It's been a while. I feel like I used to hop fences all the time. Yeah. It's probably been 10 years. No, I've hopped one not too long ago. Do you remember the circumstances? It would have been like on the road where you're walking through some town, you know, you're walking through some weird town and you jump a fence. But I mean, you definitely go, I'm climbing a fence, like make an announcement. It's a thing, yeah. It's a thing. It's not just like a kid, like, but you're like, yeah, I'm jumping this fence and I'm going to like be careful about it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I do find it interesting that you're walking through towns hopping fences. Well, you know, when you're going to, you're in these towns and then you're like, you go walk around. I mean, you're just. That night we played pickleball. We could almost have.

jumped a fence. I was trying to think if we did. I don't guess we did, but... We didn't. But we almost would have... That would have been a big fence. Yeah. That was a tall one. Yeah. I don't know if we would have done that one, but it was a double-decker fence. Oh, yeah. Chain link? Yeah. Chain link. Yeah. So that would have been tough to climb. But like over the tennis courts or something, you'd jump that one. I think I jumped the net when I dominated you guys. Yeah. You did. All right. Animal Fights with Nick Thune comments...

Heather Mrotek. Best AG1 ad read I've heard. Thanks for – oh, best AG1 ad read I've heard. Read. Best AG1 ad read I've heard. Thanks for keeping it in. Yeah. That was great. I mean, it was really – I mean, I don't know what happened to me that day. I was losing it. And then right as I was getting it together, I felt like it was all coming together. Brian goes –

And by the way, shout out to whoever edited it, making sure we got that clip in. I'm glad they included that so you could see what it was. Yeah, I didn't like that part. Well, some people suggest you guys were taking over some other greens beforehand. Oh, okay. I want to make it very clear that that was not the case. It's the same thing. It used to happen in church a lot where it's like, you're not supposed to be laughing, but then that...

It compounds with everything else. I used to get in trouble in school a lot for laughing. I could not, when I'm not supposed to laugh, it can really get me. I mean, I used to get in trouble all the time about uncontrollable laughter. Yeah. I mean, it's fun to laugh. It is fun to laugh. I mean, let it out. You know what I mean?

Well, AG1 loved it, and they asked me to read the ad. Our next partner is Athletic Greens. I think all of us are trying to take our AG1. Buy Athletic Greens every day. Dusty's still laughing. We all gave AG1 a try because we want to increase energy and immune system support for our busy lifestyle. That was good. I've said this before. I'll say it again. I eat poorly on the weekends. I'm trying to beat Nate in this weight loss challenge. So Monday morning, I take my AG1.

It's a great way to start your week. I did it this morning. Just Monday. I drink it every day this weekend. Weary? Yeah, I've never heard of this bird before, and there's a lot of people acting like we're complete morons for not knowing what it is. I reckon, reckon, I'm guessing 90% of people watching it has never heard of this bird. Well, the person that submitted it, this thing we're reading, I wonder, did they think they were submitting a turkey or this? I bet so.

I know a lot about animals, and I've never heard of this. It seemed like they would have had to Google the image. Yeah, yeah. Do we know the person that put this together? They sent it in for us? Someone sent in, hey, check this out. I don't know that they made it. All right, well, be honest, and you let us know if you thought that was a turkey. That is what it is. I don't think we zoomed in enough on that. I don't think it – I mean, actually, we had the turkey winning, right?

Yeah, well, you're supposed to tell Dusty how it went down. Do you remember? No. All right, so this baboon fought this. Do I need to finish this? The comments before you get into this? Maybe we'll finish before you get into it. All right, that's fine. So sorry, it's a cassowary. Cassowary. Yeah, that sounds like a casserole.

Yeah, it sounds like after the turkey's already dead. Cassowary, yeah. What is this, cassowary? Cassowary sounds like with your parents, you can't afford casserole. We're having cassowary again. Leslie Steinkamp, Steenkamp. My seven-year-old son loves the Who Would Win?

books that break down animal fights. These might help with references, information in the finals. Love the podcast. Yeah, a lot of people have emailed me this. There's kids' books. Who would win? And they pair two animals against each other, and it's popular among seven-year-old boys. I would love to read this. Yeah, these are great. I might buy these books. Yeah.

He'll get you prepared for UFC later in life. Derek Wilkin. Nate talking about how he doesn't use contractions, and in the next sentence he says, everybody does it a lot, but I won't.

You did that. I did right there, but I won't. That was intentional. You're doing a joke. I don't think it was. I'd have to see it. I could be doing a joke. I think I will. I said, because I remember I said that was good. And you're like, yeah, that was pretty good. You knew. Yeah, I think I was doing a joke. Yeah, yeah. Come on. I'm a professional comedian. I would never. Never slip up. I ain't going to mess anything. I ain't, I ain't not. What would ain't not, what would ain't be?

Am not? It depends. Ain't can be is not or am not. Is it not a real word, though? I don't think it is. Ain't ain't a word and ain't in the dictionary. That's what they'd say. Jace Lee, as a mailman, I can tell you backing up is a big no-no. The scanners we use will ping us every time we back more than 50 feet. Wow.

Yeah, a lot of mailman email to say, that's a real thing. Backing up, you don't do it. Wait, I don't know what that means. As a mailman, you're not allowed to back up? It's a big thing that, yeah. If you drive a mail truck, they don't want you to back up. Somebody sent in, they have written in the mail trucks, there's a thing that says, do not back up. It's highly discouraged. It's a huge safety liability because there's no visibility behind these mail trucks. So they just say, just do a U-turn. Yeah, don't back up.

How do you do a U-turn? Oh, but you'd have to back up. Do a three-point turn. You're going to have to back up, but don't just back up. They don't want you to do a three-point turn because you have to back up. Oh, I guess you'll just have to. Yeah, well, yeah, just find a street, take a left, and come back. Drive to someone's yard. Go up on the curb. Imagine just like a mailman. That'd be very funny to see a mailman. He's just five yards over, and he's like, I can't back up.

And so he's just trying, he keeps getting himself stuck more, just trying to get back to the road. Yeah. And because he won't back up. My mailman, by the way, says he used to...

uh deliver mail to your house when you lived on my side of town oh yeah because i had uh i didn't know that he knew the podcast or whatever but i talked to him before and i had some people doing construction at my house and they blocked the mailbox and i was like i met him out there and i was like hey sorry about this he goes well i was gonna tell you nate bargazzi never never blocked his mailbox yeah are you right where we lived uh i guess over in that area yeah okay

I think I'm the only one here that knows where both of you lived. Oh, yeah? It was very close. Yeah. Yeah, well, we didn't. I think, you know, we're in a cul-de-sac now, and I worry about, that's a tough one, and I try not to block the mailbox.

I really think about it. And the trash. The trash is hard to put out because you don't, like the truck, like, you know, they tell those people to back up all the time, those dump trucks. Oh, yeah. Garbage truck. That seems like a brutal, but usually there's a guy back there. I was going to say this person back there. Yeah, and he's like, I'll keep an eye on him. All right. So let's do some of these fights. So, Dusty, last week a baboon fought what we thought was a turkey.

And we did some research on the turkey, learned that turkeys can fly up to 55 miles per hour. Yeah. Crazy. I've seen turkeys in my backyard jump a six-foot privacy fence. Oh. Yeah. So this battle- But on the nice side? He jumped the nice side, yeah. Wow. From the ground straight up to the top of it, landed on the top, down on the other side. Mm-hmm.

So this baboon had a big advantage. All the baboons were there watching him. He had a huge fan base. But he got cocky. He climbed up the banister. Yeah, putting on a show. He was kind of putting on a show. And stop me if you listen to this in your car on the podcast. Okay. So got too cocky. And the turkey he didn't know could fly flew up.

Knocked him down, I believe. Crushed him. Won. Upset of the century. Really classic tortoise and the hare tale. You're getting too cocky. But there was a spin. The baboons all in the audience got so upset about it, there was like a riot, I guess, right? Yeah. And they rushed the turkey, killed the turkey. So even though the turkey technically won, the baboon gets to advance. A different baboon. Oh, okay. Wow. But a lot happened. But no baboons allowed to come watch that fight.

Okay. The next baboon color. They've been banned. They've been banned. Okay. Now, if this is a cassowary... I'm told it's the meanest bird alive. It may not even be able to fly, though. People said cassowary would kill humans. But can it fly? Wow. It's flightless. Yeah, so it couldn't have got up there. The baboon would have jumped right down on it. Most dangerous bird on the planet. Inside edition. Send an ambulance. Evolve from dinosaurs. I mean, it looks...

Like a velociraptor. Yeah. Did it kill a guy? I'm guessing he did. Yeah, it looks like it has killed some people. They got it chained in. Maybe this person did know it was a cassowary, and that's why he picked it. Because, I mean, it's just super aggressive. Oh, yeah. All right. So now it's being... This changes things. This changes things. That thing takes the emu, I'll tell you that.

Don't get ahead of her. That might be coming up. But it didn't advance, though, right? No, it advanced. It just can't use a gun the next round. No, the cassowary is not. Well, we said a turkey. But the fact that we're at the wrong animal, I think we could talk about it again. Yeah. Because, yeah, so we were having the baboons. They all got kicked out. But this cassowary, I don't know, man. Like, now it's like they can't fly. So it's going to be. That looked pretty intense, though. They look intense. Like, it's just like a.

Yeah, what's a fascinating fact about them? Don't go look through real information. You go to Wikipedia, that's the difference of college and not college. You go to Wikipedia and I just go, do the five facts that someone has fun. I mean, the fact that they can kick like that, they seem to just come in on you like they're kicking in a door.

But baboons are pretty tough, too. We watched some baboon videos last week. They're scary. They mostly eat fruit. Yep. They got some big legs, man. They have big claws, too. They're powerful. I mean, look at those legs. I mean, look at those legs, dude. Yeah, that's gnarly, dude. That's crazy. How tall are they? This is like a dinosaur. That's probably the bones they found, thinking they found a rat. Three and a half feet long.

And height is around 39 to 53 inches. Well, why wouldn't you use the feet for the height? Yeah. Like who goes, all right, three feet long, 50 inches tall. Well, just do the feet for the height too. Yeah. You're already showing me you can do feet. Four and a half feet. All right. They're part of the same order as Emu. Okay. So they're relatives. Four and a half feet. I mean, they can run 30 miles an hour.

I'm just going to say, if they're in the emu family and an emu has taken a tiger or whatever, this thing's taken a tiger. But the emu had a gun. The emu had a gun. Get a ride, Dusty. Don't be ridiculous. What's the matter with you, Dusty? I know, I know. Yeah, the cassowary, it's five feet tall, dude. That's pretty big. I'm liking this thing now. Yeah, yeah. So I...

It's also ugly. Like, it's a very ugly animal. And I think it's just got a little bit of a chip on its shoulder. It's just mean, dude. Oh, can we see this chart? It doesn't care. It just doesn't care. The cassowary is smaller than an emu. But bigger than a ray. Bigger than a kiwi. Bigger than a tinamou. Look at it compared to that dude, though. Like, pretty close to... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But it's just the average guy right now. I mean, Anemu and Ospreay would be a good battle. Are they going to be who fights next? They might match. I mean, they're both on the east side of the bracket. Yeah, I don't think they're the next round, though. No. It looks like they're fighting a whale the next round. That's going to be complicated. That's going to be complicated.

It's, yeah, I would do the emu versus the cassowary. There's a right there. Look around. Yeah, yeah. That's it. Yeah, the key differences.

Okay. And then like, what's the differences of comparing them? Yeah, does the cassowary have a pouch? Man, a lot of inches, dude. Why do people do height in inches? Like no one, when you read stuff, people always just put inches. You're like, dude, just tell me the height. Yeah. Seems like there's a range there. That's the height too. I know, but yeah. It's just more precise. What's 75 inches? How tall is that? Yeah, 75 divided by 12. Five feet? Yeah.

I mean, that's a... But if somebody asks you... I'd rather have the feet and the... That's what I mean. We're reading. I'm just reading a quick thing about it. Okay. If people are like, how tall are you? And you're like, 80 inches. Yeah. It'd be odd to do. It'd be frustrating. Yeah. It'd be frustrating to go, okay, dude. It'd be like saying your age in months. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's frustrating. Yeah.

And that one guy that did it, I mean, clearly he shows he knows feet because that's how long. I mean, who even cares how long it is? There's never been, unless it's like a dinosaur or a whale, I want to know the length. Or a snake. Yeah, the snake. But this bird, I never thought, well, how long is it? I just want to know tall. Yeah. That guy that wrote that's being absurd. It weighs twice as much as an emu.

Even though it's a little bit shorter, it weighs twice as much. And here's another big difference we talked about in the other matchups. The emu travels in pairs, and occasionally they group into flocks. A cassowary...

It's a lone wolf, dude. And it loves being alone. It's a solitary bird. It loves it. So it doesn't have a big fan section there. It's not like the baboon. It doesn't have a pack that it travels with. It's on its own. It's got BOGO tickets. Yeah. Can you scroll down? And it also lives in the rainforest. It says dense rainforest. That's hard to survive. Yeah. Yeah, so the size. Why are they? They just told us the size.

Let's tell you one more time. They're breaking it down a little bit more. Yeah, appearance, range. Oh, this is like which ones. Yeah, I mean, this thing is crazy, dude. So that's cassowary, good animal. I'm sorry we thought it was a turkey. Yeah, you know what? I'm sorry I was so sharp. You made it a lot funner, you know?

Yeah, this thing, I think with the baboon, I mean, it's just. You don't say baboon? Baboon. Baboon. I don't know if anybody does. Baboon. Baboon. I think the baboon. Yeah, I'm going cassowary. Yeah, I'm going cassowary. I'm going cassowary too. Okay. I like it. It's very fun. All right. It's very fun.

Thank you to everybody who corrected us. Yeah, y'all nailed it. Sorry about the turkey. The baboons thought they... Baboon! But I think the cassowary, I mean, it's just we're learning so much about it that it's super fun. Let's do another one. Right here we've got a tarantula versus a scorpion. Let's go up through this. Let's do some of these because we're kind of dragging this out. Okay. Let's do some.

Let's get this. Let's see. Where are we at? So that side, first side's done. Let's get this whole side done. Yeah, we got like four more matchups here. All right. So let's do a recap of this side. We had the emu with a gun taking the lion. We had the wolf beating the cheetah, which I still think is a mistake. The lion's been cheated the most out of this whole thing. Well, that's... I mean, he had a...

I know he had a gun, but I think that Emu should be disqualified. Well, I'm saying we're frisking the Emu. He's not going to be allowed to bring a gun. It's not an issue from this point on in the tournament. It's not an issue. We had no idea. There was no sign that said no guns. Yes. Because we didn't think we had to have signs that said no guns. Right. We thought that was understood. Yeah. Yeah. But they... We didn't realize that the animal kingdom was... The Emu knew, I don't have a shot. Mm-hmm. And...

It hit a gun in its pocket. We would have stopped it if he obviously walked in with a gun. But who knew that animals had pockets? Pouches. Pouches. You don't think to fill for pouches. You don't. Kangaroo maybe we would have felt just because it's like your whole thing is a pouch. Your whole identity is a pouch. We would have been like, what's in there? But the emu, we're like, I never even saw that coming. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, honestly, I didn't even realize they had a punch. And we apologize to the Lyon family. We go, I don't even know. They go, words can't even describe how sad we are about this. They're like, we are too. We want our family to eat. So elephant versus a rhino. This just seems like a big matchup that should have been later. Yeah. You're right. You're right. But it's in. But it makes it funner because it's going to be a matchup later. That's going to be very fun. The next round is going to be ridiculous.

I'll tell you what my instinct is. My instinct in this is that I think an elephant, in my mind, they're soft. Yeah. I think they're soft animals. I don't know a whole lot. You can ride them. I don't know people riding rhinos. I've pet a rhino. You've pet one, but there's a difference between petting and riding around and making it work at a circus.

So I think they're soft. That means they're smart. Elephants are smart. I don't think it has anything to do with intelligence. I think the elephant beats the rhino. Elephants are mean. Yeah, they're tough. They're mean. They may be soft, but they're tough. And this is an elephant that's out. This ain't your circus elephant. We got an elephant from the- It looks like an African elephant as opposed to an Asian elephant. He's out there. This bigger elephant. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. It's so much bigger. Yeah. Now, but I'll go with Rhino that I think Rhino just goes and stabs its belly and it's in trouble.

I mean, the rhino's perfect height. He just barely has to lift his head up, belly stabbed. But is the rhino sneaking up on the elephant, or are they squaring off? I mean, they're squaring off, but I think at one point the rhino just kind of comes to the side, and that belly, elephant's belly is so big. They both consented to the fight. They're not sneaking up and sucker-watching. He's the Coliseum. They come out opposite sides. That's why I think, I don't think the rhino just gets a stab in there.

I think, I mean, the... Yeah, but rhino skin is so tough, and that horn is a problem. That horn is just, man, it's right there, and he sharpened it. I think the elephant can wrap that little trunk around the horn and pull that rhino down, stomp on it. I think this is surprising. An elephant is so much bigger than a rhino. Yeah.

I thought they were comparable in size, but an elephant grows up to 15,000 pounds, and a rhino is lucky if it gets to 8,000. It's embarrassing. So half the weight of an elephant. And also, if you're talking heights, elephants are 10 to 12 feet tall, and a rhino is just a few feet. And that's what that's been in the hornets, right? It's like a bag of water hanging. A needle comes up. Talking about just getting the stomach hanging from the elephant? Yeah. If you can get under it.

I mean, it's perfectly canned because it's going to be that height. All you got to do is, I mean, it's like if you had a water balloon and you just put a needle and it just goes poof and then he's done. Well, how strong is the stomach? Are we able to tell how strong the stomach is? I mean, I'm guessing it's a thick stomach. I bet it's a thick stomach too, but that's a...

The rhinos are the strong animal. I think the rhino's horn is just made of hair. Can you do a rhino versus elephant? Yeah, we can. Yeah. I was just looking at it. I mean, that's cosmetic at best, I think. No, I think that that's- No, no, that's the real deal. I've touched one. It's the real deal. You touched the horn? Yeah, yeah. That's why they're getting killed all over the world. People are trying to get that. Yeah. And elephants are trying to get that tusk. Their tusk, though, is as strong as the horn. What do they want to do with that horn?

They think it leads to either longer life or it's an aphrodisiac. It's all this mystical stuff, and they cut them off on purpose to keep people from killing them. Okay. Like nature preservatives will cut off their tusk just to save the rhinos from poachers. Well, yeah, they should just cut them off if that's what they're seeking anyway. Just go ahead and cut those off. It's the same material as our fingernails. Oh, yeah. Keratin.

So it almost is like a girl fight almost. It's scratching them up. If it tooks AG1, though, those tusks are going to be down. That is true. That is true. They have bad vision. That's a knock against some of these rhinos to not have good eyesight. They are unable to see a motionless person at a distance of 30 meters. So, look, we're in the Roman Coliseum. Everybody knows this is where the fight is happening. How far is 30 meters? 30 meters. Let's just think of it as like 30 yards. Okay. Close enough. Yeah.

So the Roman Coliseum is bigger than that. The elephant can get far away and basically hide from this. And the elephants don't forget. They don't forget. I mean, how are you going to win hiding? Well, he can just be outside of his range, and then he can't see him, so he just walks behind him, but they can smell. I don't know how good that works.

I mean, there's a lot of competing scents. We're in a packed Roman Colosseum. Yeah, and it's animals watching. And there's animals everywhere, dude. It's almost like a keen sense of smell would almost work against you. Yeah. You're just overloaded. There's castaway feathers all over the place. Yeah, he just goes, I don't know. They go, what happened? In the post-interview, they go, what happened? He goes, I was smelling an ostrich. I was looking for an ostrich the whole time. I had no idea I was fighting an elephant. I walked in. I smelled ostrich so hard that I go, I'm fighting an ostrich?

And this elephant came behind me. Never smelt him. And crushed me. Yeah. It was bad. It was bad. In a rhino, they make an array of funny noises when they're communicating. During confrontations, they growl and they make trumpet calls. They snort when they're angry. In the rhinos' families in the crowd, we didn't get them the best seats. They can't even see. Like, they're... After...

After the rhino loses, they stay and they're like, is everything good? We got to go tell them. You go, no, you just, you didn't watch what happened. And they go, and that's when we find out. Yeah. They go, I can only see to about the third row. So they were just watching the third row and they go, we just saw those people reaction. Baboons leaving. Yeah. Oh man. So this is an interesting matchup. I think the elephant and all the metrics we've talked about, the elephant has the advantage. I just don't think elephants are as,

I think they're very violent. I saw an elephant attacking a van in a video the other day. They're very territorial. Shattered the window. I think they're defensive. Yeah, but that defensive is all... But I think a rhino is scrappy. It's going out. It's starting stuff.

But it's like there's just too much stuff, I think. Was there no elephant versus rhino? There is. I mean, if we want to get to the ultimate question. So here's what I think. Yeah. So let's do an answer that we can say it. I think elephant wins this. I think so. I think elephant, elephant. Yes, elephant. You're done. Okay.

So let's see. Now you can type in elephant versus rhino. Especially the weight advantage. I mean, it's just twice the weight. Twice the height, twice the weight. No matter how scrappy you are. It remembers everything. Yeah, I mean, that's... Any move he makes, the rhino is like, well, his one fake out. Well, the elephant remembers it. Yeah. He goes, no, that's what you do.

This is a matchup that unlike some of the others, this is there's probably this has happened in the real world at some point for the most part, when they're not in the Roman Coliseum, they kind of respect each other's privacy and,

The consensus here seems to be that the sheer size of the elephant is going to put it over the edge. The rhino is faster than the elephant, but it's just, if they're going at it, the elephant's going to take it. Yeah. That's what people think. Yeah, that's what's going to happen. It's a shame, because the rhino could beat almost every other animal on there. I know, I know.

Tough draw. Those are the cards. It's a tough draw. It's a tough draw. Needed a better seed. Yeah. All right. What's next? We got a moose versus a black bear. Is that a black bear or a grizzly bear? It looks big. We've already done grizzly. We've already done grizzly bear, so this must be another kind of. Yeah. Is that a brown? Yeah. All right. So hay bear.

I think you got to go there. You want to be biased. But a moose is a nightmare. Yeah. A nightmare. It's putting up a fight for sure. The weight difference is, I think a moose is, a moose is so big. Yeah. They're so big.

I mean, people die. You hit them with the car and they're, there's the, when you go drive in Maine and all this, they get moose. You have to really be careful because if you, at night, if you hit a moose, you would take its leg out. And if its body falls into the car, you're just all dead. Cause that's how much the moose weighs.

I think black bears are nothing like grizzly bears. Yeah, I do too. We're bear-friendly, this podcast. We're pro-bear podcast. We're pro-bear podcast. Yeah, right. But I could go – a grizzly bear, I don't think so. But a black bear – black bears don't want to fight. Are we in the Coliseum? Is there anything that this bear can climb? They're in the Coliseum.

Does he have any? He's probably got some trees. You know, we set up some stuff for it. Right. You know. We've got a wide range of like topographical stuff going on in on the floor of the Coliseum. We've got like a beach. We got water. We got trees. Okay. A little bit of a mountain range on there. Yeah. Something for everybody.

So it could go into a tree, come down on the moose. It could. But a moose, I mean, you know, the dude, if this is Alaskan adult moose, like let's see, how big? I don't know. They go 1,100 pounds. Their maximum spread greater than 200 centimeters. What does that mean? 79 inches. So this is bigger than a cow. Just why would you put 200 centimeters? Just do, what is 79 inches? Five feet? Just say feet.

We're all doing our own size. Anytime you're reading something, everybody just goes, I can go off. You're just making me do the math in my head, right? Making me convert it. Yeah, you're like, just be, stay in the almost six feet tall. What's 70 inches? Five, six feet? So the width of their thing is...

Five feet? At the shoulder, it's six feet. Wow, that's huge. Yeah, and they weigh between 1,200 and 1,600 pounds. So that's pretty big. A black bear, they don't even get that big. Like it's the smallest bear. A black bear will weigh. That's the image the guy used. Yeah, a black bear will weigh 125 to 500 pounds.

So it's a runt. I just think that, I mean, that's the same range for humans. Yeah. I mean, it weighs 2000 pounds.

It's so much... It's just so much bigger. I mean, it would throw it around. But the difference in the bear... Like, say, the elephant rhino versus moose and bears, the bear still has the claws, you know? And it's got more mobility than a rhino does. So if the moose charges, misses, the bear can claw it up. Yeah, I kind of... I think moose are very mean. And... Oh, yeah, let's see a photo. And they... It's just...

Look at them. They're so big. They're massive, but they move pretty slowly. But not in a fight. Right now. I mean, it would take... I mean, so bears... I don't know if they could eat a moose. That bear's tearing that moose up right now. I think they do. I think they eat baby moose. I don't think they eat a real moose. An adult moose. Okay. Now they're getting after it. All right.

But they're just kind of locking horns. This is kind of like... These horns can tear you apart. This is like two guys at a bar going, you do something. Hit me, bro. Hit me, bro. That's what it feels like right now. There was a video going around with a moose. It had a moose had killed another moose and the antlers and skull was still attached to his antlers. And it was just walking around with it. Yeah. I mean, that's crazy. Yeah. I think it's a moose. I think they're so big. And then they outweigh them.

So your biggest black bear is 500 pounds and then your biggest. But how is it, how, how is it killing the bear?

It's just flicking it with it. It's going to stab it with its horns there. I mean, like... It has a gun. It has... No, no. It's going to stab it with its horns there and just the... And then stomp it. And then, like, it's just overwhelming power. It's 2,000 pounds over 500 pounds of just, like... If you swing a head around on a 2,000-pound thing, it's going to just make the 500-pound thing fly, dude. They have weight classes for a reason. Because they're just... It's just two different things. And those are like... I mean, those are just knives, right?

on like he's just like swinging and hitting it, concussion. I mean, you're just, you're just, it's like a rag doll, dude. You're just throwing the bear around. Look, I would give it to a grizzly.

But I think a black bear is, they're curious. They're not, they don't come from a grizzly bear. Like, this is what the grizzly bear wants. He wants to fight this moose. But even looking at these moose fight right now, it seems like the moose will lock up for a minute and then they'll go, all right, all right, all right, hold on, hold on. And then they back up, they take a breather. Yeah. And then the end. Like I was running away. Yeah, the moose is like, yeah, well, get this, dude. I'm going.

Moose, they're just so much bigger. We just talked about the weight difference of the elephant, and I think you got it. And you're even, you got more so kind of here. Well, it's more than, like, it's triple its weight, right? Quadruple its weight.

500 to 2,000. Yeah. And we just did the moose, which was double. I mean, the elephant and rhino is double. This is three times or four times? Four times. Which, what would you say in that scenario? 2,000 to 500. More than three times as big. More than three times as big. But the bear is mobile, though. I mean, it can really claw it out. It can, but I mean, that's going to be hard to get through that body. A body like that's a lot of body. It's not like, you know, I would vote moose.

Yeah, I think I'm going moose too. We've got two bears over here. All right. Well, you know what? I mean, it's tough to say. This is a tough one. I'll go moose. Oh, okay. I think we're going bears. Now type in a moose versus a bear. Now, there are a lot of moose versus grizzly bear matchups, but the black bears and moose live in two completely different parts of the country, so this doesn't happen. What about the grizzly bear?

This probably happens all the time. It says a grizzly bear would have the easiest time killing a moose. They track them down. They kill them. Yeah. I think there's not even a debate if we're talking grizzly bears. No, no. I don't. Yeah. But a grizzly bear is so big. Right. Right. Yeah. All right. I'm fine with moose. Look, we're very pro-bear, but we don't need to be too biased. But we didn't pick the polar bear.

Oh, we did, but you were against – you picked the Tiger. Yeah. Yeah, but we – Oh, yeah, we did go – Polar Bear, yeah. Yeah, we looked. Polar Bear made it through. But, yeah, I just saw where you went to –

The zoo at Hershey. Hershey has a zoo, too. Wow. Yeah. And they had a size of... Yeah. They had like a size of a... They had the different sizes of polar bears. It's so big. Yeah. It's nine feet tall. I mean, it's just gigantic, you know? So I get why people were against that. Yeah. You know, but... I think we're just... All right. Let's go on to a... Is it a tarantula versus a scorpion? I'm going scorpion straight up. This is a tough one to watch.

Especially for the Rhino family. Oh, the Rhino family. I mean, they told them they win. They go go get. They still don't know that the Rhino's gone. Their son is dead. They're still waiting for the fight to start, and they're at concessions now. And they've been there for a while, and they have to really wait until they get up to the front of the line.

They, you know, most people like get your order kind of before you get to the front of the line, the Rhino family. They're getting a paper menu at the register. There you go. We're no when we get, we have to wait till we get there to see, to buy the concessions, which the Rhino, what do you think they're, you know, they're probably getting a lot of. They're getting a lot of popcorn, I would say. I feel like they're, I think they're, they're big eaters, but I think they're like a diet soda drinking group.

But I think they, but they eat where you go, well, you're kind of canceling out the food. Just get a regular Coke. Just get a regular Coke. And, but they specifically say, no, no, we drink diet. It makes them feel bad. I don't drink my calories. And then they, but they have, I mean, just buckets of pop, you know, and when they come back to the seats, it's a whole thing. Like it's,

Like, everybody's got to get up. Giraffes are, like, trying to stand kind of to the side. And it's just, boom, it's just knocking people over. They're winded. They got a lot of beer. Yeah. Yeah, people, some fights are about to start happening. In the stands. In the stands. Yeah. Because people are just like, this is crazy. Probably not cotton candy, though, because the horn would kind of...

No, I think they get cotton candy wrapped around. Yeah, but they put it around the horn. I think they go, just throw it around my horn. Oh, they like it. Okay. Oh, yeah. They share it with each other. They eat it off each other's horns. Yeah, the kids. I mean, that's the best part is the kids. I mean, they all walk through with cotton candy around the horn. I was being ridiculous. So then some people. I'm sorry. What are you talking about? I apologize. That was dumb of me. That's the most obvious thing they have. Yeah, you're right. Yeah.

Because they go, do you want a stick? They go, we got our own stick. Yeah. And then they just, they put their horn in there. They even bargain and say, we should actually get a little money back because we're not making you use a stick. The people behind them are pretty upset because it's like, well, you just let them stick their horn in there. Yeah. You got to slide a corn dog on top of that thing too. Yeah.

Yeah, they come back with stuff all on their, you know. And you got to eat it off the other person's. Yeah, right. Because they can't reach it. Yeah. So you take a couple bites, they can take a couple bites. They're taking up a bunch of seats. And it's like one of those you go, I think if you're a smaller animal, you just, you see that, you see them sitting in your seats, rhinos, you just kind of go. Yeah.

You just, you got to move. You got to go kind of go to the top. There's some empty spots up at the top. You want to go walk around. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The baboons caused a big problem. They've been kicked out. So there's just a giant baboon section. That's just wide open. Cause they, the baboons were all sitting together, but we had to get them out. Yeah.

Immediately. They've been a problem the whole time. They're a wild crew. Yeah. Win or lose. Win or lose. You can't really have them there. The celebrations, you can't tell if they're mad or excited. I mean, they're in the parking lot wrecking cars right now. We're hearing car alarms go off left and right. And so then we're also kind of like trying to get them back of that. It's trouble. So for this fight, Trance the Scorpion, no one even really cares about this fight. Right.

Because it's just like everybody's kind of laughing. It's impossible to watch in the Roman costume. We have cameras on them. Jumbotron. They let them out of little jars. We made a mistake. At first, we let them too far apart. The fight, first four hours with them even...

They were making their way towards them. And the whole time we had discussions of going, I think we got to put them kind of on top of each other because these two things are trying to find each other. You got to poke them with a stick a little bit. Oh, yeah. And we were doing that, but it's just they're too, they're walking too far. Yeah. And people go, come on, this is ridiculous. And we go, that's all part of, we're trying to be,

you know, organic here. We're going, sponsors are dropping off. Yeah. I mean, what are we doing? Yeah. They're, they're, they're not, we'll be here for a month waiting for them to try to find each other. And we go, all right, all right. You made good points. So we go in, we get glasses, we get them up. We're walking them close with glasses. People are finally like, Hey, people were cheering that on. So then the, uh,

We let him out of the glasses, and the transfer goes out. Scorpion goes out, hits one of the guys with the glasses. That guy goes down. No one saw that coming. No one saw that coming at all. We get the stretcher out there, and he's like, can't move. It's pretty crazy. But weirdly, people are excited about it. Oh, yeah. Well, they think that's part of it. Something's happening. That's part of it. And the Scorpion, I'll be honest with you, gets a big head. Gets a big head because now he's got people cheering for him. But...

He's used kind of all his stuff in the person. And a tarantula broke his stinger off. Yeah, broke his stinger off. He's got a finite amount of venom. Is that right? I mean, you can't have infinite amount of... Yeah, we don't know if that's right or wrong, but I like to picture it. Does a tarantula even have venom? Yeah. Well, this is part of the problem with this matchup. There's so many different types of...

spiders and so many different types of scorpions who knows let's just assume the most dangerous of each well that's a well then it's spider all day that looks like a tarantula but it's a spider all different types of tarantulas yeah it doesn't help that in this fight one guy's holding one versus the other one like they won't even pick that they won't even pick the other scorpion up but in this picture it's like what a this fault yeah it's like my pet versus this dangerous insect from the from the beach

Yeah. Or desert, I guess, probably. I think a tarantula could be so much bigger than a scorpion, too, and it's got just eight things, and it's going to just get it. I mean, look how big it is, dude. There's a lot of tarantula versus scorpions. This is for real, them fighting? This is for real, yeah. There's a little roach in there, too. Oh, wow. He's kind of hanging out. I think he's dead. Oh, wow. We're seeing a real fight here. Yeah, this feels...

I don't like this. Yeah. I don't like this either. Well, then it's shooting. It's holding its thing. Well, this is exactly what we talked about. I mean, this is in their Roman Colosseum. They're holding hands. Yeah. This is eventually what we would have to do. They're on a date, actually. Yeah.

You have to put them in this small of a... Yeah. And the scorpion just wants out. I forgot about its clippers. It's got... That's pretty good. Yeah. Can you fast forward it? I don't know if you need to watch the... Yeah. It's eight minutes long. You want to watch another seven minutes of this? Yeah. So now it's got the food. Now the bugs are gone. Now it's eating the bug. That was the whole point. Yeah, gosh. So you keep going. Tranchas are big, dude. And...

Oh, now they're really going. Now they're really going. This might end up being the most exciting fight of all of them. Yeah, this is like the undercard. This is like a UFC fight, like the first one on the main card that you think, I ain't watching it, and then it's unbelievable. And you go, wow. And who wins? Why would they even do this?

You know, it looks like... I don't know. I think the Tarantula won. It said a draw? No, I'm just saying if they're both... I think the Tarantula won. I think the Tarantula won. So, I mean, this one we're kind of cheating and we kind of fast forward to...

We actually watched a video of it, but we're going to say the tarantula – I mean, Scorpion's having trouble, dude. I was going to say Scorpion, but I do think in the end that tarantula is – especially since the Scorpion wastes its stinger on a guy just trying to do a job. Scorpion is trained in a mostly offensive aggressive – so the Scorpion did train, but the tarantula trained also. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. The tarantula uses its threatening posture in which he raises his front appendages and exposes his fangs. He's got a couple of legs with no claws or no pinchers on there, though. This is going to leave, as a lot of people are going to say, that was my favorite fight. I mean, it took a while to get the fight set up. Right. But once they got it set up, man, it was a good fight. What I don't understand is how the scorpion doesn't just pin the tarantula down with its pinchers and then just stab it a bunch.

Yeah, but this tarantula does have fangs. And then it just can hold you from so many, like the scorpion, what are you going to pin down? It's one leg and then it's got seven more legs. I mean, its legs are just kind of like sticks, whereas the scorpion has real pinchers. Yeah, but it's like a grappler. Like it's going to just be able to get, it could use your legs to hold down the pinchers. It's like the thing that you get the stuffed animal out of the machine. Like it's like, it'll pick it up, but it'll drop it real easy too. Yeah, yeah.

It's just... The way it can stand... The scorpion's really kind of flat to the ground. It can't really get up. It's got its scorpion thing, but again, it did get the person that was dropping the cup, the glass down. So...

This was a great fight. This is a fight a lot of people. We are definitely selling some merch of the scorpion and the tarantula. And people are really leaving going, what a fight. That was a truly amazing, you know, fight. And then, you know, and so we're going. How long has this tournament lasted? This has got to be. Two years. Yeah, this is like the Olympics. They basically all live there now. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they basically, we let animals live there. They've taken over.

You'd hate to find either one of those in your yard, but you wouldn't if you use Sunday. Oh, I'll tell you. I mean, it's time to reclaim your weekend. Sunday lawn care can take one thing off your to-do list. Instead of spending time working on your yard, with Sunday, you can spend time enjoying it.

Sunday is everything you need to get the lawn you've dreamed of. This spring, go to getsunday.com slash nate and enter your address to get a customized plan created just for your lawn. No trips to the store or hauling heavy bags.

That just becomes Nate Lamb. They're just fighting each other. Look, have people submitted other brackets of stuff? They have. Now, a lot of them are just their paper where we would have to literally go in and write in the names, where this is just you click on a box and it advances for you. But there's a lot of different options on this bracket fight of categories. Oh, like you, this is a...

This is a thing. This is a whole thing. Did someone send this to us or we just picked it? Somebody sent it to us. Someone sent it to us. Oh, did they make it up? I don't think they did. I think they just found it and said, hey, this would be fun. They didn't think we'd rededicate our lives to it, but we did. They regret sending it to us, but...

So, yeah. If people could send like that, yeah, the bracket, you know. I mean. So is that round done? No, no, no, no. There was one more left. There's more left. But yeah, like I said, I think when we. Two more left. Bracket fight, there was one just for comedians. Best, not fighting each other, but best comedians. Okay. So there's a lot of different, there's McDonald's, there's. Best McDonald's menu items. Yeah. Okay. I mean, there's a lot of fun stuff to do. Big Mac.

It's Big Mac all the way. I think we could wrap that other side up. Put Big Mac as the champion, and then you can have fun and do the rest. I think there's just one left. I think we could wrap that up. Yeah. I would honestly be Big Mac is the champion, and then you can have a conversation about how you build out from there. I would agree. But I would go Big Mac champion. Agreed. And I know. Does he...

I'm sorry, Dusty was on his podcast the other day. He was like, you know, the one thing that we just can't all agree on in the podcast is our love for McDonald's. And I'm like, Dusty believes the CIA planted dinosaur bones, but that's the one thing that we all can't get on board with? Well, I just was saying that it just seems like everybody here really loves McDonald's. And you don't. And I don't. But you guys love it. I mean, I'm not claiming that I think it's the healthiest food. I'm just saying...

It tastes good. Yeah, I mean, you enjoy it. Yeah. I don't enjoy it. What's your fast food? I don't really have one, I guess. You've got Chick-fil-A together. Chick-fil-A I like. I like a Hardee's breakfast. I'm in for breakfast. You look like that. Yeah. You look, I mean... Yeah, I grew up on a Hardee's. Yeah, Hardee's is good. That or you like a Pilot's gas station. Yeah. You like to eat in the Pilot's. You know, I had a hot dog from the...

like an all beef hot dog from loves from loves one day. And I was like, wow, that is really good. And I felt bad for two days, but it was delicious. Worth it. No, but I wouldn't, I have not done it since at the time I thought, why have I not been eating these? This is so good. And then I had like a, like a real aggressive heartburn that you could taste the hot dog for several days that I was like, okay, that's why I've not been eating it.

I mean, it smells good though. I love to see it on that roller. You know what I mean? That,

I used to get the 7-Eleven had those taquitos or something. Oh, they still got those? Those are great, man. They got the buffalo chicken ones, too, that are great. And then they got the breakfast ones where it's like a McGriddle, but in the shape of a hot dog. Sausage in the middle. They're doing big things over there. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings last night, met some fans or folks there. And they did, after the show, but they had a buffalo chicken sandwich.

And it was so good. It's great, isn't it? It's so good. Yeah. You can't get a wrap from a gas station like that. I've noticed wraps don't travel well because they get soggy. Yeah. You need a wrap right when they make it. Yeah, you got to get a fresh wrap. You got to get a fresh wrap, dude. All right, go back to this bracket. We got to get serious, guys. The McDonald's one? No, no, no. Back to where we were. We still got a couple more to go. Buffalo chicken wrap, especially. It'll get soggy on you quick. Oh, yeah, dude.

So, tarantula mood four, hippo versus a dolphin. Now, we've talked about this multiple times on the podcast. A hippopotamus is one of the most deadly animals in the world. It kills a ton of people a year. I think second only to the mosquito.

So it's like a problem. I don't think the Dolphin stands a chance. I don't think the Dolphin... No, no. The Dolphin's dancing around. It's good for nothing. It's a show. It's communicating with people. I think a Dolphin... I mean, I think it hits... I think it gets a couple hits in, but then it's just like... It's a bloodbath. Ultimately, the hippo rushes. No, I think it... Yeah, I do think it's that. I'd be like... So say it's five rounds. You're like, oh, wow. The Dolphin came out in the first round. You're like...

You'd be like, who do you give it to? You're like, maybe the hippo, but I could see – I could be talked into the dolphin. And then from there on out, it's just over. But the first round, you're like, ah, that dolphin kind of came out. Because he knows he has to come out and just –

And go nuts. I think the hippo's like, oh, this is great. I always wanted to eat a dolphin. I've just never had the opportunity. Yeah, it's easy. And I would say you go ahead and move that hippo past that tarantula. I think that... Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm fine moving this one because what I'm... Let's move the hippo. I think the hippo dolphin, I think that that's such...

I think that's the first time people start questioning the ethics of this whole thing. Yes. Is how bad it beats that dolphin. Yeah. And they're like, ooh, this is like questionable. They go, well, it's all other animals. They love it. You know? But yeah. So the hippo with the tarantula, why it's a fun move in it is I think the...

We've all – we love the tarantula. We love the scorpion too. Yeah. But everybody loves the tarantula. I don't even think we make them fight because we end up – everybody's like, no, and the tarantula is like, that fight was so good. You did your thing. You don't deserve. And you could probably say the hippo still tries to fight it. And then I think the hippo does end up getting into some tarantulas in the back. Mm-hmm.

And that's a... Just like a little snack. I'll be honest, we try to keep it under wraps because we, you know, this one tarantula and then tarantula starts saying stuff, is in the news, is going, well, they didn't stop the hippo back, you know, and we're like, the hippo had nothing to do. Like, but, you know, we try to keep it a little... But the hippo's a lunatic. Yeah.

But he's a draw. Like the hippo's a draw. Oh, totally. But he's a lunatic. Rumor has it that hippo ate the tarantula before the dolphin fight just for a little protein. He did not realize it was a container. And that's when a lot of people were saying, and then we said, the tarantula that we have out there, a lot of people don't think it was the one that beat the scorpion. So a lot of people are like, that's not the same one. We're like, look at it, dude. It's the same one. And that's a big, that's how we create a dusty section.

is there's a dusty section, which would, what animal would be a conspiracy? You know, that's kind of always like, I don't know. Like, I think an owl. Cause it's always looking around. Yeah. Yeah. An owl is a good one. So, uh, an owl, there's an owl section that's dusty that they're like, that's, that's not the same tarantula. And they're like, we know we eat. Yeah. I have good eyes. Yeah. And they have great eyesight. And they're like an owl or a Hawk. Yeah. Yeah.

The rhino's like, don't ask me, dude. I can't see. I'm not even sure where we're at. Yeah, the rhino still does not know about his family member that's gone. Because they're not just – they're just – they go, no, we're waiting for that fight to start. They're still looking for their seats because they go. And every time they go, the usher's like, you're not even remotely near your seat. He's like, you've already been through here one time. He goes, I don't know how to tell you this.

Y'all keep coming back to the same area. And it's truly they can't see. And so they're just kind of in a loop. Yeah. Yeah. All right, what we got here? This is the last matchup of the first round. We've got, this is an aquatic matchup. So as we already know, we've talked about the Roman Coliseum is designed for aquatic. To handle this. Exactly. Very clear water. Yeah. Very clear water.

Right, so that everyone can see what's going on. Everybody can see. And I think it's got to be pretty shallow too, just so they can't, like they're going to have to meet up. Yeah. It's going to be, let's say 15 feet. These things are so big. They're big, right? That they're going to meet up. Yeah. You're right.

It can be deep, but it's- I thought of it like SeaWorld where you just got to look in the glass. It's like SeaWorld. Oh, wow. Okay, so you're getting eye level with this thing. Eye level with it. That's pretty exciting. Yeah. I don't know exactly which type of whales these are. Looks like a beluga whale. It looks a little bit like a beluga whale up there at the top. I was just looking at pictures for reference. And then a blue whale? Potentially. Oh, a humpback whale. Yeah, that's what I think. A humpback whale versus a beluga whale? Yeah. Yeah.

Now, we're probably going to learn from the listeners, these aren't even whales. There you go. That would be very... That's an ostrich. Yeah, that's an electric eel. Yeah, it could be. You can see it's an electric eel, and that's a toenail. And you go, okay. Is that a toenail? Yeah. How big is a beluga whale? A beluga whale, pretty big. Wow. But...

They lived 35 to 50 years. I know that's not what you asked, but it is a male. It can be 2,400 and 3,500 pounds. Wow. It's big. And then... I mean, look, at birth, they're five feet long. As an adult, they're 11 to 15 feet long. Yeah. So bigger than that python that you swam with. Yeah. It's pretty crazy. Yeah, and it weighs as much as it weighs. Now, a blue whale...

It's the biggest animal ever. It's literally the biggest animal of all time. Yeah. Bigger than any dinosaur. But I thought you said that wasn't a blue whale. Oh, I thought we just agreed to pretend it wasn't. Oh, okay. Yeah, maybe that looks like a humpback. Okay. I did say blue whale, but then when you pulled up that humpback, I was like, well, it does kind of look like that. Yeah, I feel like its mouth is on the top.

That's what it... You know what I mean? Like a humpback's smile looks like a little bit higher. Yeah. Okay. So which one are we saying it is? How big's a humpback? Say humpback. Let's say it's a humpback whale. Let's look that up. Size, it's going to be... Well, look how much bigger it is than an elephant. It's insane. And all that time we talked about how big elephants are. I mean, it just dwarfs an elephant in comparison. So...

humpback size to a beluga size or yeah 49 feet uh weight approximately 35 tons the females are bigger than the males so i said what is that 70 000 pounds but they hear about that yeah 70 000 pounds you know that's impressive how do you know that i think a ton is 2 000 pounds yeah yeah yeah

49 feet. Is the humpback garden in Bluewell? Yeah. Are they about the same size? Yeah, the Bluewell's far larger than the humpback. Wow. Oh, my gosh. So if it's a Bluewell, it's not even...

Yeah, I mean, here's a whale chart. Yeah, let's do, yeah, I like that. I like that. Yeah, let's pull a whale chart up here. We got the blue whale, 69 to 90 plus feet. Look at that little beluga down there. That little beluga looks like a runt. I think either way, beluga's getting crushed here. I mean, if it's the blue whale. The beluga hopes it's a humpback. If it's the blue whale, it's impossible. Yeah. I mean, a finback, maybe it's a finback.

That kind of looks like a... What's going on with that right whale? Right whale's got some barnacles on it. I thought that was popcorn. That's a...

The right whale, which I guess they just put on the right side of this chart. Yeah, there they go. He goes, the right whale, which is 45 to 6 feet, unlike the left whale. And you're like, oh. He missed weigh-in. He missed weigh-in, and that's why, because he didn't get the barnacles off. Yeah. He couldn't cut all the barnacles off in time, so he missed the weigh-in. This might be a sperm whale here in this bracket, the more I look at it.

Oh. Oh, yeah, you're right. That changes the whole thing. But I don't know if it does change it that much if the other competitor is still a blue whale because it's still twice as big as a sperm whale. But if it's a humpback whale, let's say they get to their tallest, right? If we're just going to be like – That's very close. Everything's got to be the tallest. It's only 60 to 50 feet, a humpback and a sperm whale. If it's the blue whale, it's 90 feet, which is just – I mean – Ridiculous. Ridiculous. But a humpback whale is just 10 feet smaller.

And that 10 feet might be agility. You know? Mm-hmm. It's like you might want to be smaller. It's quicker. Yeah. What's the weight difference of a sperm and a humpback? Mm-hmm. So are we just saying it's a sperm and a humpback? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I mean, if it's a blue whale, it's crazy. If it's a blue whale, it's winning the whole tournament. Yeah. Tooth. Oh, they have teeth. Yeah. Yeah. They physically mature at about 49 to 52 feet.

Weight is, I guess they're a little shy about their weight. They don't want to give them. Are they all female? Yeah. They kind of sell sperm whale to throw you off. 90,000 pounds. The biggest animal in the sea doesn't have to be. Yeah, that's... George says, you know, the whale. Marine biologist. Yeah, the whale is the biggest...

Is it a mammal? Yeah, it's a mammal. Biggest mammal on the sea, but as George says, it doesn't have to be. I think we go sperm whale. I think we go sperm whale, too. It's 40 metric tons. I mean, it's 90,000 pounds. It's the largest toothed predator on Earth. I think it bites this thing up. Like you said, I think it's more agile than the blue whale. No, well, it was...

Oh, we're going the other things, the blue whale, the biggest one. That's what I thought. Okay. I said humpback, but if I go blue whale, it's 90, it's 30 feet smaller. But I will say the tooth is giant. So we're going blue whale? We're saying it's a blue whale? I guess we're saying it's a blue whale. So now it's a sperm whale versus a blue whale. It's going to be exhausted. But it's, yeah, it's maybe hard for the...

But they're in the water. They've made it hard for it to find it. And the teeth, dude. The fact it has... But it says that... On this chart, it says the sperm whale has knuckles. Oh, yeah. It's just got too much... It's got like weapons. Like it's walking in with... I mean... Nunchucks? Yeah. It's got weapons, dude. And this blue whale is... It's just like a big dope. Yeah. It doesn't even... So the blue whale has no teeth? No.

I guess not. Just without us really looking into it, we would say no. So the blue whale has no teeth. Sperm whales, oh, they boast the largest brain on earth. They have the largest brain. You can't even outsmart these things. I mean, yeah, a blue whale's bigger and got a smaller brain? This may be our only hippopotamus contender. This is a good hippo. I mean, is this who the hippo's fighting?

That is tough. I might be coming up down the pike. Oh, that could possibly. It's got the cassowary. Cassowaries are mean. Yeah, that's going to be a tough one.

Yeah, I think it's sperm whale because it's – wow. Wow, what an upset. Yeah. That – you know. That was a wild ride. So here's what we got. So now we got the – what are we in? The Elite – are we in the Elite Eight? We're in the Sweet 16 now. Sweet 16. Sweet 15 because we've already advanced the Hippo. Hippo just goes through, tarantulas through. We've still got some stuff going on. So let's go back. Let's just recap, and then we'll finish up here.

You want to go out to the upcoming matchups? Upcoming matchups. We got Piranha versus Grizzly Bear. We might. We might go ahead and advance. Let's go ahead. I mean, that's like a no brainer. Yeah, that's fun. But I mean, no one's rooting for the Piranha. People don't like Piranhas. No. And people are happy for the Piranha. Like they're going to those. People like to puff for fish.

Pufferfishes was nice. But it's, and a lot of people said there's a debate on that, but, you know, people wanted it. I really pulled for it. But it's the grizzly bear. We moved it through. We moved it through. Upcoming matchups. I don't think there's any situation where a fish is beating a grizzly bear. No. Yeah.

We'll see when it fights a whale. Yeah. Python versus Komodo dragon. That's coming up. Eagle versus anteater. Solid fight. Polar bear versus a killer whale. Ooh, that's a good one. There's probably videos of that happening in real life. Yeah. We got an emu versus a wolf. Yeah. I'll be honest with you. That could be tougher than... Like a wolf?

That's like a sheep-wolf combo. This emu... Wolf and lion. Wolf. I mean, honestly, this emu... I'm going to think about it. Over a wolf? Uh-huh. It's going to be tough. It's going to be tough. Unarmed, too. It's unarmed now. But, I mean, maybe the emu only needed the gun. The emu is smart and goes, I just got to get past that lion. Mm-hmm.

And then I'm going to be... Then we have some chances. And then we got the moose versus an elephant. That's a solid fight. We got the cat and then the cassowary versus the sperm whale. So a lot of interesting, interesting matchups coming here.

And I'm really excited to get into it. Yeah. So thanks for following along. Yeah, yeah. We'll do the cassowary and the sperm whale first just because I think that'll be a kind of quick and easy one. I don't want to move it forward yet. Just we can have a little conversation. Yeah, yeah. Think about it. Because we can think about it. It may not even be a cassowary. Yeah, yeah. They're like, no, it was actually a turkey. But yeah, it's going to be. Yeah, the emu might be sneaking through. Emu.

I'm not going to let you bully me over the rest of this tournament. I'm going to stay my ground on stuff, dude. Yeah, but I mean, I didn't bully you. The emu brought a gun. It's not Nate's fault. I had nothing to do with it, dude. The emu brought a gun. If you don't like it, search him better. Please convince me how an emu with a gun could beat a lion. I don't see how that's possible.

He did beat a lion. Could not beat a lion. I mean, could not beat a lion. I mean, you just make that argument. I'm open to that argument. I know, I know, I know. It had a gun. Don't be ridiculous. I didn't want it to bring the gun. I'm just saying I'm going to have a lot more conviction as we move on. The zebras were upset. We had the zebras as the refs. They were upset, but they didn't think to frisk. Who knew they had a pouch?

They don't even really have hands to be frisking zebras. Yeah, so the frisking, I mean, look, these animals are all being frisked because now I'm being talked back into a gun. Animals are all being frisked, but zebras frisking, which it's a loose frisk. Let's say a gun might turn up later in this tournament. Let's just say. Don't be surprised. Let's just say, I mean, just it'd be like imagine frisking someone with your head.

That's what a zebra is having to do. Or hooves. I don't even know if you really got feeling in those. Yeah, yeah. So let's just say there could be, something could be happening. There's so much corruption in this tournament. Oh, it's like boxing. Yeah. It's like boxing. It's like FIFA or something. Yeah, it's like FIFA. There's a lot of corruption. But this is the world championship, and this is what we are doing.

This could be also Noah's Ark. This just happens in Noah's Ark. It's a smaller ark, limited space, so you gotta fight for your spot. It started with more than two, but that's all that was left. Yeah. Alright. But next week we're doing robots. Next week we're doing robots. We're gonna start off with a little animal fight.

All right. The week after that, we're doing robots. No, no. I said we start animal fights and then we get into robots. All right. Yeah. You don't anticipate that happening? Well, I mean, we'll see. We'll go through. I think it's going to move quicker now. I think so too. I think a lot of the tougher matchups were actually in the first round. I think now things are a lot more clear. Yeah.

All right. Where are you on it? This weekend at Mic Drop Comedy Club in San Diego. My first time to San Diego. Beautiful club. Beautiful club. And then I'm at Cap City Comedy Club in Austin. Awesome. Wise Guys in Salt Lake. Aaron and I were there last year. They said we want Brian back. So I'm going back to Salt Lake City. Awesome.

And then Louisville Comedy Club in Louisville. Wow. Wow. And that's all May? The Louisville is the first weekend in June. Unfortunately, Nate's in Bowling Green the same night. So people have already told me in Kentucky, why'd you have to come same night? Nate's in Bowling Green. I'm like, well, you need alternatives. Yeah. You know? Overflow. Yeah. So

So come to my show because Nate doesn't need the help. Next week, I'm in California at the Irvine Improv and the Ontario Improv. Come on out. Excited about that. All right. Irvine's great. Tonight, as the podcast comes out, I'll be at Zaney's in Nashville. And then this Saturday, I film my special in Knoxville at

the Bijou Theater. Yeah. And the shows are not sold out, but they are very close. Yeah. They will be sold out. Yeah, get some tickets and be there. It's going to be hot. Have you done the Bijou before? I've never done it. It's an awesome theater, man. I'm so pumped about it. It's really cool. I mean, it's a big, it's a theater, but it feels, it's cliche, but it will feel intimate up there. Like, it's awesome, too.

I'm pumped. That's awesome. Go watch that. And our friend Angela Johnson, her special comes out this Sunday on YouTube. And it was shot at the Ryman. I opened for her. It's great. So go check that out. Oh, yeah. If you're wondering why the crowd's not very good up top. She had a build. She had a hole to dig out of. Now you know why. Yeah. Angela's about to have a baby. She's got a lot going on. Special coming out. YouTube. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Yeah, I forget where I am. Jacksonville, like down there this week. So, yep, as always, we love you and talk to you next week. Bye. Nateland is produced by Nateland Productions and by me, Nate Bargetzi, and my wife, Laura, on the Audioboom platform.
