Today's episode of the Nate Land podcast is brought to you by Built, Helix, ButcherBox, and GameTime. Hello, folks, and hey, Bear, welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Bargetti, Brian Bates here, and Weber, Dusty Slate. All right. Waited for it. I like that. I like how you drag it out. You know, when I first started comedy, that's what I used to do. I used to do that. I would say, my name's Dusty Slate.

That would be a thing I would do. I don't know why. On stage? Yeah. Because when people would ask your name? Well, I would just come out and I would open up that way. It was all part of it. You're on Dusty Slay. Yeah. Like James Bond? I'd give it a real pause. Get a little laugh? Yeah. I mean, the people really, for a little while, would know me as the Dusty Slay guy. A little pause in between.

It's a real thing. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. You know, been trying to build a brand since the beginning. And that one didn't take off as much. So now we're having a good time. Now we're having a good time. Now I took just a normal everyday phrase and made it my own. Yeah. Instead of trying to invent a phrase, I go, I'll just take one of these. Yeah. It's out there. Yeah. You can have it. Yeah, exactly. Well, what was first, the hand wave or the phrase?

I think they came about at the same time. Okay. Yeah. I don't think you're having it yet. Kind of. What are you going to do on stage? I think there's nothing. We're having a good time. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to come up. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah. It's good. It's good to be back, fellas. It is good. It is. Got the whole crew here. We are back. Living it up.

We were, uh, we had a fun, we had a Aaron was with me this weekend. Uh, we had a, we had a wonderful, it was a really good weekend, really good time on the road. Great shows. Just everything kind of perfectly worked out. Weather was great in every single city. It was different cities, South Dakota, right? Sioux Falls, Rockford, Illinois, Des Moines, and then green Bay last night. I mean, crowds were unreal. Uh, uh,

It was just like a perfect kind of, you know, one of those just weathered at great in every city. Fun group, you know, a lot of laughs, a lot of laughs. It was, yeah, it was, I don't know. It was special. And the crowds are so great. And they're always great. But they were just, you know, it's like, it's fun to go to the, you know, Sioux Falls. And, you know, I mean, these places, Des Moines is big. It's not good enough, big cities. But, you know, it's not your typical place.

Yeah, Des Moines is big, but a lot of these people are not necessarily going there all the time, right? Yeah. So they're very thankful that you're there. Yeah, and I've been to them a few times. So, yeah, it was just like a perfect country. We had Nick Thune, Graham Kay, Aaron, and then Julian McCullough is always with us hosting the shows. Oh, Grammo, Graham Kay, you guys know. He had a bit of a rough weekend. Yeah.

Just taking a lot of heat. What happened? A lot of heat. Well, this is all of us. The great thing, too, it's like all of us together. It's like outside of Aaron, which Aaron fit in very well with us. It's guys I've been around for a long time, started with. So if you're around us, we're very joking and mean to each other the whole time. But there couldn't be the – there's not –

There's the most love between all of us. None of us would do it, but it's super, super fun. You've known Graham for, what, 20 years or something? Yeah, I mean, all of them. Yeah, Graham, Julian, and Thune. So it's super fun. We're back into the old New York days where you're just trashing each other. I mean, anybody walks in a room...

Aaron got it a good bit. You just walk in doing weird. I really nothing. And it's just, yeah. And everybody just jumps all over you. And then once one jumps on, it's like, it's not like someone defends. Everybody just goes, all right, I guess we're doing that guy now. So then we all just go after that guy.

And then you go after, I mean, it's the best. It's true fun. Well, it started with ESPN did a write-up about Nate's show in Sioux Falls. And here's the paragraph that got mentioned a lot. The night was hosted by Julia McCullough and featured awesome openers such as Nick Thune, Aaron Weber, and others.

So that started us off. And so, you know, Graham would have never seen that if I wouldn't have screenshotted it and texted it to everybody. And so we got it going. And then there's a text thread. And I mean, it was, yeah, it was like...

We got that. It was very great. It was so that's already. So we called him the others. And the funny thing about that is Nick Thune also said Graham K's name at the end. So Graham K went up and when Thune got done, he goes, all right, I'm Graham K. So his Graham's name was said twice. Yeah.

And, you know, this guy did nothing wrong, but, you know, made us have fun. Yeah. And so Graham was up and Graham just, you know, he's just such a funny way. He's so funny when he like something like this happens to him. He's like, no, grandma gets it again. You know, show business, show business. It's me again. One more time. And Graham murders all weekend. Yeah.

So that started it. And then what was that? Then after that, then we went to where we were in, uh, the Canaries was the Canaries after that. Right. Yeah. That was in Sioux Falls. In Sioux Falls. We go, there's a minor league baseball team called the Canaries. And, uh, so we go, the show's great. We take, we ride scooters around, uh,

you know, the parking lot. Cause it was very nice outside. And we, there's, they're like having their opening day is the next day. So their park was like, everybody works there until like 4 a.m. Setting everything up. And I mean, we look like lunatics riding scooters around. It's a lot to take in for a town, uh,

Just to be, to see, you know, four, you know, 40 year old. I mean, Aaron, you know, you know, he's not 40, but he might as well be when he's with us. Yeah. And just like cruising in scooters, circling the ballpark. I mean, they're like, we don't know what's going on. What time of day is this? Midnight. Wow. Okay. So they, yeah. I mean, they think you guys could be up to something. Oh yeah. Yeah. And so,

So then we, Graham, Grandma saved the day, actually. We never brought this up to Graham. This is a moment of redemption. This is a moment of redemption. Graham went up and talked to the guy, and then the guy knew we were doing this show and let us in, and then we all came in there and sat with all the crew. It's like just guys working there. Every year, they're out there until 4 in the morning, and so they all came in, and we just sat in the bleachers and talked.

We just made fun of each other again, told stories. Hung out with them. It was almost like a little show. Y'all were killing for the crew out there. Yeah, it was great. We had some good laughs with all them. Yeah, it was just a fun hang out in the middle of nowhere. We're just riding around. They're like, I wonder what's going on there. The next thing you know, we're just sitting in the bleachers over there. They took a big group picture with them. We sat in these chairs, and they took a picture. It was just...

super fun. It was like just a fun, like, you know, just a lot of stuff that just worked out. Yeah. It was like really fun. And so then rock, Rockford was, uh, Rockford's guy. We walked around, he bought a grand bought a peaches shirt. Cause the Rockford peaches were from a league of, uh, league of their own. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And from a cool place. But so the shoulder, uh,

I don't know if we have a picture of this because we didn't. But the shoulder that comes down, you know, like if you're listening, you know, in your shirt where the sleeve and the shoulder are sewn together, it was almost to his elbow. Hmm.

He bought like too big of a shirt. He didn't buy too big of a shirt. He was so tall. It's like, they didn't know he would be shaped that way. Kind of. Yeah. Oh, like he needs like an extra large, but he, he's like height wise and extra large, but width wise, like a large. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Graham's in shape guy. Yeah. But it was just very funny.

And so then we just talked about that for a good time. So, so, you know, and Rockford was one of the light days for Graham, but we still, we still were able to get them. And then, and then Saturday in Des Moines, we go and randomly John Crist is in town and

as we are in Des Moines. So we're like, all right, we should meet up. And first we were going to try to golf. And then it just was like a little complicated. And then it was like, Hey, what if we just go get, we, they reached out to Roosevelt high school, uh,

Theodore Roosevelt High School in Des Moines. And the baseball coach there very kindly was like, yeah, I'll come up and I'll open the field. And so we got a baseball. He brought that guy had a baseball bat. We bought some tennis balls, no gloves and just played five on five. Aaron has a glove there.

Well, we let the pitcher, the pitcher was allowed to have a glove. It feels like Aaron just always has. Yeah. Yes. Aaron does. I got one in my car. Most Aaron looks like a guy that's trying, that's going to get a foul ball. Yeah. Like he's like, whatever you just see him and you go, I bet that guy's got some foul balls. He's not giving it to a kid. You don't even know. No.

And if he's at a nice restaurant, if he's at a wedding, a tuxedo, you go, I bet that guy's if they go pick someone that's had the most foul balls at a baseball game. You're like, well, I think it's that guy right there. Yeah. His gloves in the trunk. And so we get together. We play. I mean, an epic game of Derek Stroop out with his Graham K. Again, Graham.

Derek Strip on both teams. Yeah. Well, yeah. With Aaron because they look the same. No, because he's been on both tours. Oh, yeah. Well, they had two people from ours. John had three. Caleb Elliott. But they decided Strip. And this is a big Nate Land podcast heavy group. And so, I mean, we were out there, dude, and it was –

We're beating up. Here's Graham running. If you didn't see it, Travis was a pitcher for a little bit. I mean, so if you can see the picture, Graham is running his hardest to score a run. This run does not count, but we did not tell him that. You didn't tell him to stop running. Because he was –

We were doing a five-run rule so you could – we're not just staying out there. And they already had their five-run rule, but we saw how excited Graham was to keep going, that we all kind of agreed to let him run it all out. Does he run with his hands open like that? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He runs – I mean, he's giving it all. Graham had hip replacement surgery not too long ago.

So he's on it right there. He's got my face when I was running. Yeah, it's terrific. And then Graham had a home run. That was positive. He had a home run, but also three strikeouts and a strikeout to lose the game. So, you know, it's a give and take. It's ups and downs. It's ups and downs with Graham O. And so then was that – so that was Des Moines.

Yeah, that was the one. And then... Well, that was the night. So that night we went and saw a movie. Oh, so that was the same night? Yes. Okay, yeah. So we do that. So, yeah, everybody was shooting. The game was... I'll tell you what. You want to have a fun game, get your friends five on five, no gloves, tennis ball, metal bat. It's a good time. Just old men. We're all falling apart. Everybody's sore. Everybody's injured. I've never felt less athletic. I've never felt more old. We're going to have a...

some clips probably on my Instagram and probably our YouTube page. Mike filmed this whole game. He's cutting together some highlights from it. We got some good stuff. We got some, uh, Thune got a home run with Aaron in front of him and that was, we'll let you watch that. That was a really good time. That was a really, really, probably brought a lot of memories back to Aaron.

Oh, he like almost passed him. Yeah. He had to start walking. He had to, yeah. We were yelling for, you know, it's where you're not even yelling for the guy that has the hit of the home run. You're yelling for the kid in front of him. Cause you're like, go, go. And everybody's more excited about that guy crossing home than even the person that hit it. Uh,

So, yeah, it was Superfund Chris. It ended up being 11-9 was the final score. Barnburner. Barnburner, we won. We brought Aaron in as the closer. Struck out Gramo. All right, you got a strikeout, huh? Yeah, two strikeouts. That's right. I mean, talk about a shutdown closer. Throw in heat? I can't even like Mariano Rivera. No, it's kind of soft pitch. I wanted the pitch.

But I could look at Aaron's eyes. I knew he couldn't handle the, if a ball, I mean, it was, look, I'm not trying to be mean. I go, I would like to pitch.

And then I looked at Aaron and he looked at me with just, hey, why don't you let me just pitch so I don't have to, you know. So I don't have to move. It was a nod to that. It was kind of a nod where I go, respect. You know, like when you go, all right, you go, all right, Aaron's pitching. You just yell it out. So let me ask this, though. You're doing slow pitch and people were striking out? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Did you strike out? Yeah. No, but I've missed. I mean, I had a lot of strikes. You didn't strike. There are a lot of whips, but we were making contact when it counted. Yeah. I mean, you know, what's funny is like with baseball swinging with the with golf, it's like such a it comes at a different angle. It's like my hand eye coordination is just it used to be good for baseball, but I haven't done it in years.

30 years. So it's, it's terrible, but you didn't strike out though. No. See, that's what shocked. I, you know, I can see missing it, but, Oh yeah. It's we had a, we had a few more strikeouts than you think.

It's easier than you think for there to be a strikeout. But as long as you have a control in this whole thing where you're like, you do have one guy at least that never struck out. So it was possible. It was possible. And yet. I mean, there was a lot of people that didn't strike out. Yeah. But a lot of people did strike out.

And then, I mean, if someone's watching this game from a distance, it looks like slow motion is... I mean, someone would be like... Their brain would feel weird. Some kids from the high school team were in the batting cage, and I'm sure they were like, what is going on over there? Oh, just... Their parents didn't come out and shake their heads at you, did they? I mean, if a ball got a little bit behind you, a lot of underrun pop flies. Yeah. I mean, none of them...

Is under run right over? Yeah, they ran. Yeah, they didn't run too far. They went over their head. The balls hit. And just for whatever reason, all of our instincts are to run forward. Like a little kid. Yes, exactly. And then it's just and I mean, and within two seconds, you see someone just go. You're like you see them take four steps forward. Then you're like that ball's.

miles over the hill. And then they got to take off front and backwards. This is what I learned. My kids in my neighborhood will play with aluminum bats and tennis balls. And what I've learned is you go out there and you're like, I'm about to show these kids and you want to crush it. That's when you're missing.

If you're just like, I'm just going to hit the ball, then you do kind of crush it. Let's make contact. Yeah. Let that ball do the work. And I feel like if you strike out one time, then you got something to prove. And now you're going to mess up. One thing that we learned that we messed up on is we should have asked for a softball field or a little league field. We were playing on a regular baseball field with the bases. And so that's a decent run.

This was one of the most fun things I've done on the road, though. Yeah. It was just a very, very – because it was beautiful. It was an exercise. Just a very fun day of just a bunch of idiots that felt it. Travis, all-time pitcher, somehow rolled his ankle and just in the middle of the game left. I didn't really know what happened.

But Travis, all-time pitcher, not moving much. He didn't move more than a five-foot radius from the pitcher's mound. The one time he did, he completely sprained his ankle. I mean, a tennis ball. That night in Des Moines, he had to put his knee in a rolling chair and scoop. Couldn't even put weight on it.

that's why i don't like to do things like i've had that happen to me where it's like you're just trying to play a little sports and next thing you know you're like oh i gotta call in sick to work today yeah oh it's crazy and then uh but no one else got hurt so it's like your strikeout rule yeah uh so it was great and so that night we're like all right let's go see a movie and uh

So we're going. So it was just like everybody's in the kind of the mood for a movie. There was a movie starting at 1030. The Strangers. It's a kind of a scary movie. And so we're like, all right, let's go drive to there. And, you know, and so another one, Grandma, we sat in the car, wait for Graham. We were all in a green room together.

And we go, all right, let's go see a movie. And Graham took that as like, I'm going to go eat and, you know, and I'll just wait. And so we're out, I mean, just sitting in the car. And then Graham's just eating. Long enough that we had to change movie theaters. We had to change movie theaters because we found there was a 1025. We had to go to a 1030 because we're like, he's not. I mean, what is he doing? So.

So then he gets in and then watched the movie, had a fun time, you know, and then we afterwards were like, you know what? There's a looking for food. There's a pizza hut open at till 2 a.m. Wow. So, yeah. So we go to the pizza hut. We're parking the parking lot. And Graham being a good dude is like, I'm going to I'm going to pay for this pizza. You know, very nice. Very nice.

So he goes, I'm going to pay for it. So he goes in, we get, you know, we were like one large pepperoni, one medium cheese, bunch of dudes. Like that's where that'll be good. Cause not everybody was eating. Not everybody's got a problem. And so he goes in and gets it. Then he comes back and we're like, Oh yeah. What'd you get? He's like, Oh yeah, I got, we go. And then as a joke, join, cause you didn't get thin crust. Right. And he goes, what? Yeah, I did. And we're like,

No, you didn't get thin crust, dude. Come on. What are you messing around? He goes, no, no, I got thin crust. We're like, and so then he, you know, he gets thin crust.

And he goes, we're like, why don't you just go, just go in and go. I want the normal. Yeah. Just be like, I want a pepperoni cheese. Do your, what is your main pizza? What's your thing that you do? You got to understand Graham's Canadian has never had pizza hut. He thinks the two types of pizzas are a Chicago style deep dish and

And then a regular pizza is thin. I'm going to be honest with you. I think Canada has pizza. I don't, I think you're giving him too much credit. He said he's also healthy. So he probably just eats thin pizza. Yeah. Well, but isn't that thin crust is not a,

it's, you, that's like a, you gotta ask for that. Like that's, that's not a normal, a traditional, it's called like traditional. You do have to ask for it. Yeah. I mean, I think the standard is a, you know, a thicker, a thicker crust. And I mean, man, we were excited about this pizza and, uh, and,

and then he comes in and then he's like, now I got a 10. And we're like, Oh my gosh, dude, are you kidding me? And then, uh, it's like a saltine cracker. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're just like pepperoni on a cracker. Yeah. I guess we still did it, but it wasn't what we wanted. And, uh,

Then he comes back with drinks, brings Starry's. Because I got everybody a Starry. A Starry. You know what it is? It's like the new 7-Up or something. I used Sierra Mist or something. Sierra Mist. Yeah, one of those. It's now just called Starry. It's called Starry. It's on commercial. It's just a very weird drink. Yeah. I got everybody Starry. To assume everybody is down with a Starry. Starry, yeah. A Coke, you go with a classic Coke. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, that's what everybody's like. Right. Yeah. Probably some Coke, some Diet Cokes. Yeah. And then you probably got everybody covered. Get yourself a starry. Yeah. You come back, maybe one starry. I got one starry. Just in case someone wants a starry, if they want to try a starry. But he got six starries. So because now we have weird drinks, pizza we didn't want, but we love them.

Yeah. Yeah. And it was Green Bay was anything or I don't think so. Green Bay. Great show. Great show. I think he made it through Green Bay unscathed. And so, yeah, but it was a fun but a thin crust. We were like, what? He was like, I didn't know what it was. And you're like, what do you think it is?

Thin crust is, you know. I'm going to be honest. I can't believe that he doesn't know what thin crust is. It's kind of in the name. Yeah, I can't accept it. You don't think being Canadian is a defense? I mean, Hannah talks about going to Pizza Hut all the time.

I got some stuff going on with the home. It's on my mind. But yeah, I mean, she talks about going to pizza hut all the time. Yeah. She's upset that now pizza huts and strip malls and it's not a hut. Yes. That was great when it was a hut. Yeah. I mean, he, you know, I mean, if you could see it was, we were like, nah, you didn't get that. Like it's almost like, I don't even know if you, you would have to do that on purpose. Yeah.

You can't even really accidentally order thin crust. I don't think they want to give it to you. I think pizza knows it's not their- It might be extra work for them to do a thin crust. Well, I know it's not their main thing. That's not their muscle. Bread and butter. Yeah. Their muscle memory is to grab a pan pizza, traditional. And it's not- I mean, just looking at it.

And, yeah. And that's, you know, that's what I love about hanging out with your buddies. Even when someone's doing something very nice as buying the whole car food and drinks, we just... Nate was relentless, too. Yeah. He did not let him forget it. Yeah. It was fun. Look, before you think I'm just mean...

I love Graham more than anybody in a million years. We, me and him have done a lot of fun stuff together and he, and I've taken some heat from it too, but that's what makes it fun. So yeah, all in all, what a wonderful. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. By the way, Nate's also breaking attendance records at all these arenas that we're at. So in the midst of all that, the shows are unreal. Yeah. The shows are great. Yeah. It's been a lot of fun.

All right. I was on the road this weekend with Angela Johnson. We were in Oklahoma. We did two casinos there and did a casino Friday night. Then Saturday drove across Oklahoma to a second casino. Had a ton of fun. Great shows. Oh, yeah. Angela's great. And Nate Land alum. Yeah, she is a Nate Land alum. She just had a birthday along with Dusty. I always bring up their the.

What, four days apart, I think, in age. And then their kids are four days apart. Oh, wow. That's cool. So, anyway. Did you do any gambling when you were out there? I didn't. I'd like to see you sit down at a blackjack table. Some high rollers table. You sit down with us. Blackjack baits. Yeah. Yep. Big money baits. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm much more comfortable on like a 25 cent slot machine. Okay. Blackjack I used to be comfortable with when I thought I'm only affecting myself. And then when I learned, no, you do affect other people by the decisions you make. I'm like, I'm scared. I don't want to do this. Trying to send your daughter to college.

What'd you play with us? But you played blackjack with us? I did, but I would always ask if I had a simplest question, I would ask. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But we would sit, we would get a table, like, you know, you have enough guys that you can get a table with just us. So then you're like, no one really cares. You know, it's like, and you just ask. You do that even if you're at another table, you just ask. But I agree. I don't really like playing with people I don't know because I'm afraid of

that I'm going to do something to. Yeah, they go, you're messing up the cards or whatever. Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to have fun. You can't see it happen. I know you're trying to have fun, but it is a funny thing because it's like you can see someone not do something and then the card – and you're like, if you had just done what you're – the book you're supposed to do, the whole table would have won. Yeah. And then because you didn't, you know. But, I mean, it could happen the other way too, so –

Yeah, that's all part of the gambling experience. Those people are gambling that there's going to be people sitting at the table that know what they're doing. You're like, hey, I'm a wild card in here, guys. That's right. I'll hit on 19. Yeah, you're gambling, and that's not my problem. You're gambling your child's tuition in here. I'm just betting $20. I don't even know your kid. Yeah. It has nothing to do with me. Yeah, I mean, I've watched Nick Novicki split kings. What?

Yeah. Didn't he really? Yeah. Yeah. It was just us. But he split. He goes, I'm going to split them. Probably couldn't see his cards. Yeah. Like, all right, here we go. We played a couple of weeks ago in New Mexico and they had a comedy club in the casino. We're like, let's go take a look at this and get a little tour of it. Yeah. Found out Dusty's coming there and.

Dusty's checked out. I'm sorry, guys. I have had a lot of problems with Home Depot delivering a refrigerator to me. And I have to... Do you want me to stop for a second? No, no. Well, I'll tell you what. While you're doing that... I know all about that. If you have to make an angry call to Home Depot, I would like to hear that. Well, they did... I'm sorry. They delivered me a refrigerator and then it would not work. And then they had made me get the GE repairman to come out. And then he was like,

oh they broke it when they delivered it and so now they're bringing me a new refrigerator but they give you this ridiculous time window yeah we're going to come between 8 a.m and 8 p.m and i'm like oh okay so you can't really narrow it down and then i called today and they're like oh yeah between 3 30 and 7 30 is when we're going to come they're like good thing you called when we're doing a an exchange like this we don't call you and i go

Oh, that sounds helpful. Yeah. So Home Depot is the worst. And so now I'm ordering a lawnmower from Lowe's. So we got a lot going on. Just to get back at Home Depot. Yeah. We'll never order from Home Depot. Are you going to let Home Depot know?

that you're a Lowe's guy now. I've already let them know a few times and they won't, they don't do anything. They, they get at the end of every call, they have a survey. And I answered that the people I talked to did great, but the company as a whole was a terrible company. And I go, I realize you don't care about me or any of your employees, but

Yeah. But I am very unhappy with how you've treated me. Yeah. I think Laura's a Home Depot. She likes Home Depot. You used to have a joke where you kind of butchered them. So maybe they're getting back at you. Hmm. Well, Oh, maybe they know. I've honestly, I've always been a Lowe's guy. Um,

Um, but I used to work at home Depot. Well, I used to sell pesticides, so I would go to Lowe's and home Depot. It was just in the joke. I said, I worked at home Depot cause it's easier than going. I used to sell pesticides and home Depot. Yeah. You know what I mean? What was the home Depot joke? You can do it. I don't know if I can do it. Okay. Yeah. I don't know if it's, you know, it's not dirty, but it's just really a little dark. It's a little dark. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, anyway, a couple weeks ago, we were in New Mexico at a casino and we toured a club that you're going to be performing at soon. Yeah. Albuquerque. Yeah. Yeah. I did. You know, you were saying that it was like a new club, but I perform. It's the Star Casino, right? I think they've revamped it. It looked new, didn't it? Yeah.

And that's why I wanted to go back. I like going back to a club that I featured in. I like to go back as the headliner. Yeah. It helps me feel like I conquered the club. Oh, yeah. And then have whoever you open for open for you the next time you're there. Yeah. Are you going to do that with Home Depot somehow? Somehow. Somehow. Somehow, yeah. Go back and let them know. Yeah, I made a joke on my Instagram in front of a Lowe's the other day, and I tried to get Lowe's to collaborate with me. I invited them to collaborate. Yeah.

You're just driving to Lowe's parking lots to try to get them on board. They didn't accept it. You actually invited them as a collaborator. Yeah. They didn't do it, but next time.

where were you this weekend? I was in, I went to Lafayette, Louisiana to club three, three, seven. Great club. A lot of fun. I like Lafayette. I had a, I went to a Greek place and had a Philly cheese, but like with steak and lamb in it. Really great. And two shows. Really great. Late show. Very rowdy. I'm getting a lot of late show, rowdy crowds. They're into it, but,

but they're just so rowdy. Are they your people? Yeah, I think so. And they're into it. And, and, and then I went to Dallas, Texas and did the Texas theater, two shows, uh,

uh, sold out both shows and, uh, they were great. Um, then I had a, I had like a bunch of Mexican food right before I, right before my first show, two hours before I was like, I'll be fine. But they had these like real fluffy tortillas that they were like homemade there at the plant. And I was tearing it up. Yeah. And it just, well, it was a thick, it was a thick crust. Right.

It probably was thicker than the pizza we got. I was so miserable starting my first show, but it was a hot show. Have you ever had to use the bathroom on stage? Oh, happy birthday. On Saturday, it was my birthday. So I was doing shows and people were yelling happy birthday, which was nice. But the second show, people were like doing it as a heckle. Like midway through the show, people are just like, happy birthday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've already done that now. Yeah. Yeah.

Now just be quiet. My birthday present is for you to not yell that out. Is that what you said to him? Nah, but I did tell him to stop doing that. Yeah, meaner. Yeah, meaner, yeah. I've been able to get meaner on stage now, and I like that. Oh, yeah? Yeah, because I was in such a nice comedy mode that it felt like if I ever had to shut a heckler down in any way, that it felt like it took me out of character. And now...

And now I feel like I've really, you know, been able to come out of that where my comedy is still nice, but like, I don't know, maybe even doing this podcast where people have attacked me so much. You've become combative a little bit. Yeah. You're finally getting combative. Yeah, a little bit. Because you got a little bit of that in you to do the Home Depot thing. Yeah. You like, you are naturally want to kind of confront and have confrontation. Not that you want it, but you're... But yeah, it's like, it's been...

Fun, like the Troubadour, like when I did that and I had a late show that was real rowdy and a guy like, I don't know, yelled out something about minimum wage. And I felt like I really went in on the guy, but didn't tank the show. Yeah. I was like, that's awesome. I was like, that's what I'm talking about.

Because I have a joke. I was like, the joke is like that the guy got tips, but it was not a lot of tips. And he goes, that's less than the minimum wage here. And I'm like, well, I don't remember what I said, but I really hammered the guy because I was like, you know, we don't, no one needs to know that. No one in here. And the joke is that he didn't get a lot of tips.

I don't need you to throw economics into the mix here. What are you even yelling that out for? Am I applying for a job? You know what I mean? Yeah. So it feels good. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. I get it. I love it. eBay Motors is here for the ride. Remember when you first saw the potential?

I like that. Yeah. Imagine that your landlord only accepts checks though. That's how mine was. Yeah. Mine was when I rented, but I mean, that's when people did check. Yeah. I mean, like I've got checks from like five addresses ago. That's how. I think it's all. I wonder, I bet it's all Venmo now or something. It's a lot of Venmo now. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't Venmo a ton. I do it like golfing. Like when you're playing, you know, with buddies, but yeah,

uh that's about all i do venmo but i think it's a younger you know i mean people are i think it's like you're like yeah young people and there's probably young people that really really do not have cat have really never had no it changed the way like you are in public you're at a bar with friends i'll get around yeah i'll venmo you everything's on venmo now yeah it's great yeah now you can't just owe people money

They're like, no, I know you got access to your money. Well, they request it. Yeah. Right? Yeah, you can request money from people. And then you're starting to be able to do the checks. You're able to... I'm trying to move this seat. So there it goes. So you're able to move split checks and stuff. Oh, yeah. Or being like, all right, you can request...

all this money and yeah, you can really, you can really split some checks up. Uh, you know, I'm, I, you come from a, I come from a, just, you just, I always hated split checks where you want to just be like, I just want to,

You're like, let me pay for it and be done. Didn't have to worry about... Before, I never could do that ever. But I remember I wanted that to be one of the... It is annoying when the split checks get down so little to where even couples are like...

You know, where it's like everybody's splitting the check. It's like you can't pay for somebody's here. When I waited tables, I hated that. Yeah. When it'd be like six people and they all give me a credit card and they go split it six ways. God, just one of y'all step up. Yeah. Make it easier for me. Just pay for your own stuff. Yeah. Right. You know what I mean? Like if you split it, that's the same thing. I don't know. For me, it was easy to split it down the middle.

They started making stuff, I guess, easier on the screens to do that kind of stuff. Even it's annoying. You got to go one six that. Yeah. I hated it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You really, there's nothing better than when you go. And I mean, now I'm knowing like when we're on the road and you see these, we have 10 guys and you can just see them. They're like, please don't say. And we get to go just one check. And then you learn that they like the big table.

Sure. You don't mind a big table once you know it's one check. Yeah. But you want to look at the table as a waiter and go, one of y'all be a man. Yeah. And just step up. Yeah. Just pay for it.

figure it out later be a dude figure it out later or just say i got it don't make me be a banker you know yeah i'm bad with names and like at zany's you know i don't have cash they'll bring me food and stuff and then i'll be like what can i venmo you like yeah and then i realized i should know this person's name but i don't oh yeah so that i'm like but

But that's an easy out. You go, what's your Venmo handle? Yeah. And that way you don't have to know their name. Yeah. You know? Yeah. What's your Venmo? Nobody expects you to remember their Venmo user. They should almost, but now people will like have tags or something. You take a picture of it and it goes to it, right? Yeah. QR codes and stuff. Yeah. And if you go, what's your Venmo? And they go, my name, then they don't really want the money. Right. Just tell me what it is. Yeah.

How do you spell it? T-O-M. Yeah. Yeah. Venmo's. Yeah. I mean, I don't – yeah, that is a new wave. That's very funny. I told Leanne Morgan that we mentioned her a couple weeks ago on the podcast. I think it was a week you were gone. But she said, oh, I want to listen to it on the plane.

And then when she got to her destination, she said it was a short flight. I didn't. Can you just tell me where it is in the podcast? It was the very first thing off the top that we talked about. So it was clear she didn't listen to it. I'll just tell me where it's at. I gave her a hard time about it. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I didn't get to hear it all. Well, we started with it. It's the first thing we said. Yeah. I love that though. She's being nice. She's like, I started in the middle. Sorry. Yeah. I missed it. Well, yeah, you would just go. I mean, I would never listen to you. It is like, yeah, you could have just told her where it was. That's why I've had that. If someone's sending you something and they're like, you know, they mentioned this and you're like, well, where? Yeah. Where at? Yeah. Where at? Yeah. And I know that sounds weird.

But it's just, you know, you're just trying to. Well, I followed up with her because then on your podcast, you and Hannah talked about Leanne and stuff happened in the green room and everything. So I text her. I said, well, now Dusty and Hannah are talking about her. It's at the 53 minute mark. And she said, yeah, look at that. Yeah. At least she made her feel bad. Takes a stray. She has no reason to be involved in any of it. No, she brought that herself. Yeah.

I mean, it's not like I was trying to goad her into it, but she's like, hey, it's right off the top. Yeah, that's fine. It's fine. You know what I do love, though? I love seeing when the... I mean, I remember just being younger and where you would have to split stuff. You're like, dude, I need every...

you owe $23.25 and then whatever. And so I like seeing like kids or teenagers, like them splitting money or something like that. They're like, and you, I don't know. There's something that's still like, it's a, you know, it's like, you know, the world's not changed that much. It's like, you're still just like, no, no, no. I have,

And no one expects anybody when you're young. No one expects anybody to be splitting. I mean, you expect to be splitting a check. Nobody has money. They're young. So I still like that's always like kind of heartwarming. When we would go, I would go on the road with comics like when we were

all like equal billing. We're like all the money we make, we're splitting. And then you go to the restaurant and people and like comics will try to act like, oh, you know, you just pay for this one. And I'm like, now we're, we're splitting it every time. If we're splitting the money we're making, then we're splitting the money we're spending. We're not, I don't want to be like, oh, I owe you five for this. Because if we're just friends hanging out, that's one thing. But if we're like, we're, this is a money making venture we're doing here.

I'm not losing money at lunch. I remember Dusty keeping track of the gas money on a little notepad. Yeah. And then we'll go divide that by two at the end. Yeah. And then, yeah, we're going to do this equally. Yeah. I mean, thankfully, I've reached a level where I don't have to nickel and dime people for gas. But there is a time where you're like, yeah, the gas money, that's a part of this trip. Yeah. You know what I mean? I think I always got stuck paying gas.

I never liked it. I just never really liked talking about money. Like either, whether I am in, I just want, you know, that was like, I always, I was just dreamed of being a headliner and just being like, I got it. I'll take care of it. You know, cause you can't at the beginning, but.

I bet you're a fun time to go on the road with. You get a bill from you. I'll just send an invoice later. When was this from? It's like when you're headlining some of these gigs out here,

I mean, there is not a lot of money involved. I know what you mean. I'm joking. But it's yes. There's a lot of time. And then there's certain guys that get to be in a New York comic. A lot of New York comics. I mean, some of them don't have license.

They don't drive. They don't contemplate what gas could ever cost because they're never in a car. And so when you were doing it and you're like, you're dealing with someone that's like, oh, yeah, well, it's not even on their mind that you have to pay for gas because they don't ever pay for gas. Right. So, yes, I understand. But now, thankfully, I don't have to nickel and dime people for gas. Yeah.

But I would do it. I would be like, yeah, I'll drive. And then that way you don't have to pay all the gas, but you're going to be in on this. Yeah. Sandy Thide, Sandy Thede, starting your guys' comments. Thede, Thede. Super great 200th episode. Loved it. All of you guys being there together is perfection for me to watch. Aaron has the best laugh, though. Every time he laughs, it makes me laugh. Laugh.

Hope none of you get tired of doing this podcast. Please keep the longer episodes too. Thank you. 45 minutes this time. Yeah. Wrapping it up. She's like, I really enjoy it. Keep working. Tommy Feller.

Feller. Feller. That's a good last name. That is a good one. That's fun. That's a good name. Tommy Feller. Tommy Feller. Oh, Tommy Feller. Like that's a, yeah, he runs a, you know, everybody knows Tommy Feller. Oh yeah. You mean that Tommy Feller? Yeah. They go, oh, yeah, yeah. You know the Feller. Yeah. Everybody knows them.

As a viewer of all 200 episodes, I've noticed that Nate has a recurring comment about breakfast being weak. What was the original basis of the joke? Was there a weightlifting challenge I missed? Just observation. Yeah. Tommy, I don't know if your eyes work, but...

Just having fun. Just having fun. I carry this podcast every week. Oh, I love it. Why don't you do a weightlifting video? You're like, I'm bodybuilding weights here. Yeah, that's another. I mean, should we do a bench press competition next? We already did the 40. Who do you think takes a bench press competition? Probably. I think I could bench. I've benched 200 before. Okay.

That's great. I'm in. I think I did something to my back when I did it. I think my right shoulder hurts. And I think I did something to it because one day I did it when my little streak of working out was going on. I don't know if there's an original basis of the joke, you being weak.

It's just fun. It's fun, right? Yeah, it's a good time. You think you're a strong guy? I do. I do. I think I'd win it easily. We did a grip strength thing this weekend. Yeah, Eric said he told us that your grip strength is a great indicator for overall health.

I don't know if that's true or not. I think so. We didn't look into the science at all, but now we're going to see what our grip strength is. So did you get your results? Yep. I was 110. So for my age and stuff, I was just normal. He was strong. I was low end of strong. Low end of strong. Which is not a good. I don't know if it would be an indicator of health to me. I think it would be an indicator of overall strength.

I think they're saying they use it for like, if you're sick or if you're, if you don't have a good grip strength, then you're, you're, you know, it's like you're depleted. Yeah. You know? And I think if you have a strong, yeah. Cause I mean, I was like, look, I mean, most people, the strongest grip strengths will be construction workers that smoke cigarettes all day. I mean, these guys are going to be, you know, but like, you know, I mean, strong being strong is good. I mean, they tell you lift weights, the older you get, become stronger, you know?

Chris Jackson, I recently ran my first Boston marathon and I could not have done it without the podcast.

The two-hour episodes were perfect for my long training runs of 14 to 22 miles. And laughing at y'all helped me stay positive on those harder runs. Also, after seeing all of you run the 40, I'm curious what time y'all think each of you could run a marathon. We saw a marathon in Green Bay. Really? Yeah, they were doing the marathon in Green Bay. Everybody made it. We were just taking a lap, walking around. We saw the finish line. And everybody was at like the six-hour and 45-minute mark. We'd probably be – we'd probably been –

I don't know what his four is like. That's great. Yeah, that's like the best ever. Well, the winners are usually two something. Yeah. Oh, two something. I think a really good average runner would be four something. I'll just say, when did he say when he finished his? Yeah, I would hope under six then. I just wouldn't finish.

I couldn't. Yeah, I couldn't run a marathon. I would say that. And that's where the joke from weak came from. Yeah. I couldn't do it either. You just delivered it. It wasn't me. It was. How long is a marathon? 26.2 miles. Yeah. No, I would not. No, I just wouldn't do it. I feel like I could do pretty well in the 40. I mean, Dusty and I are the only two being realistic here. If you guys. I would walk it. Yeah, I think I could. I could walk it. I mean, it'd be. Well, you can't walk it under six hours.

No, I don't think I can do it that fast. I'm just saying I could finish it if I walked it. Yeah, you're saying one day you could make it 26 miles. I've run eight miles before, for sure. Look, there aren't going to be many people at the finish line when I get there. Not even the celebration anymore. No, we were the ones that were coming across first.

I mean, it was just us clapping for them. Everybody was kind of gone. Yeah. Everybody kind of already wrapped. The day's been wrapped up. That's got to be something, though. You finally make it. You're like, I did it. And then by the time you get there, nobody's there. You just see the last car pulling away. Yeah. They got their marathon time on the back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You watch it in the distance. Yeah.

They did it, though. Good for you, Chris. That's awesome. Jonathan Williams. I was wondering if Nate thinks his career would be in the same place as he is now without moving back to Nashville. Where would you think his career would be if he had not moved back to Nashville and stayed in New York City or Los Angeles? New York. I don't think so. Yeah.

you know, baby, you go where you're supposed to go. I feel like there's a plan and you kind of end up just, you're doing what you gotta do. I knew when I lived in New York city, that move was the best move I did because it was from, uh, if you start feeling, if you started feeling comfortable, it's time to make a change. So that was the best comedically just to like shake it up and you don't shake it up by a move, just shake it up by something. And, uh,

So that was the best for that. And then I just really started going on the road and the Los Angeles one was just like, yeah, I'm not, you know, I'm not good at auditions. I'm only going to be this, you know, and I knew I wanted to, if I was like, if I'm going to do a movie or a TV show, I was like, I'm going to have to be the creator of this because I, because like I talked about improv recently, I knew it's going to, if I'm not, if my hands are not on it and cannot be involved, then it's going to be something that I'd,

am going to be uncomfortable maybe being a part of. So I just kind of was like, well, I mean, I, you know, so I started going on the road and moved back to national. So I don't, I, yeah, I don't think it, I don't think it would, you know? Yeah. I mean, it's in, I, the stuff I talk about, I'd like better cause I'm down here. I, you know, for, for me, I did what you had to do. I think was, was,

I, I fortunately Chicago, New York, LA home was good, uh, for me, you know, but it's great with, you know, we talked about it this weekend, him in Nashville, you move into Nashville. That's a big, that was like big things for now. You know, it's like, yeah, you're in a scene now that like was not what it was now. Now it is something. And I think Aaron helped change the scene. Yeah, I really do. Oh, thanks man.

Yeah. That's nice. What do you think he did? Let's not dig into it. I feel like there was just a ton of guys who didn't take it serious, who were just hobbyist and just wanted to be dirty and make their friends laugh. And Aaron was serious about it. He was super funny and he encouraged others and it kind of shifted. Like it's okay to take this serious and be a professional. Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. Thanks man. Sure. There you go.

I agree with that. I thought you were going to go, he made people comfortable with mediocrity. Yeah. And you're like, whoa, whoa. No, I did that. No, never. But then, like you said, when Dusty moved to Nashville, you know. It's having guys around that are doing stuff. Yeah. That's everything. That's everything. And that's all y'all for me. Katie Jacobo.

Jacobo. That's the last name that you're like, I didn't expect that. It's like one too many O's in here. Jacobo. Jacobo. Jacobo. I bet Jacobo. Then you're like, okay, that makes sense. It could be Jacobo. Jacobo. Yeah. That's not bad. Jacobo seems like it needs a K in there. I'd want a Jacobo though. Are you the Jacobo family? Jacobo is a pretty good name. Yeah.

That could go a few different ways. The guy asking about good names for girls may realize that all of the Nate Land daughters have what my friends call old lady names.

I named two of my girls Cora and Stella. And that is what when I was informed those were old lady names. Luckily, that seems to be a trend. And I personally love the names. Daisy, Eleanor and Harper are beautiful names as well. I can't wait to see the newest Nate land, baby. I don't think Harper's an old lady. I don't think so either. I don't think so either. And I like, but I like an old lady name because I feel like, you know, names got too wild and wild.

And we're scaling it back. I don't feel like Harper's an old lady name, but I don't feel like it's wild either. I think of Harper Lee. I think of the author, which I know you have a joke about that, but I do think of that still. But I'd rather prefer the name Ethel over Snow or something. One of these crazy modern names. Would you let the folks come up with a name for your daughter? No. Like a pole or something? No. Okay, I take it.

We could do a poll, though. We could do a poll. He was about to try it. I think I did a poll for my son once I had narrowed it down. I don't think I accepted the overall end, but I went with what I wanted to go with. You didn't even go with what you wanted to go with. You went with what your wife wanted to go with.

Well, I like his name, but yeah, I mean, I like the name Duke, but we had named our son Daisy and I didn't want everybody to think I'm naming my kid after the Dukes of Hazzard or the shorts. It's tough because your look looks like that's what you would. Yeah. If you looked not like you, you could do it. Yeah. But I liked Hank too, but I think that, uh, I don't think she liked him. Jesse. Jesse. We liked, we decided against Jesse, but yeah.

Anyway. All right. Well, let us know if you can get a poll going. Yeah, I will do. Let's get a poll going. Bobby Gockel, as a 61-year-old single woman, I especially love that Dusty and I have almost exactly the same hobbies. Hi, Bobby. I also have a surplus rock pile on my property that I am dreaming up plans for.

but need some dudes to help lift them. I'd even welcome Brian. Oh, thank you, Bobby. Where do you live, Bobby? Bobby endorsement. She made a weak joke. Even Bobby can do it. Where's Bobby live? I mean, I'm into him. Bobby, I think if you can't do it, I think you and Brian have the same strength. There it goes. The same grip strength. I would like y'all, yeah. I think if you and Bobby fought, it'd be...

It'd be a barn burner. It would. What kind of rocks does she have? I wonder. Uh, I don't know if we had enough time to get into it with the comments, but I'm sure you can reach out to her. Well, uh, yeah, I'm reaching out. Cause, um, yeah, I mean, I like that. I like a rock pile that you got some plans for. Yeah. You know, it sounds like she got really big rocks though.

You don't want them to be that big. What's a good type of rock? I can't even name a rock. How do you sound in that? Why do you mean it sounds like she has a... Because she says surplus rock pile. But she needs people to help lift them. So it makes me think they're really big rocks. Because I got some limestone and they're about like this. Yeah. Where you can still pick them up. Yeah, but even if it's pebbles, you need help carrying them. Well, you lift them one at a time. Well, I am.

I think she's commenting because we said we would help you go do it. She's like, I need some dudes to help. So I think you're reading into this rock thing. I think she has probably what you have. Limestone? Limestone and a dream. I don't know if it's limestone, but I bet it's what you think of rock. But I don't think you're going to show up and it's going to be like, is that 14 foot rock? Yeah. Black volcanic rock. Yeah. That'd be cool though, huh? Shawshank reference.

Steven Dillon. I got to be honest. I watched early and didn't feel the vibe because I didn't really know anyone but Nate. And once Dusty came on our guest appearance, I watched now. I love the gang in total. All right. Thank you, Steven. Yeah. Dusty. Look at that. Yeah.

Yeah, pulled one in. This is not the Dump Dusty guy here. That guy's still holding in, though. Yeah, dude. The old strong. Yeah. He's like the first one to come. He's branching out, too. Yeah. He's got like an alert set on his phone when the episode drops. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I want people to know. Even when I'm on other episodes, I'm the guest. He's like, dump that guy. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Is it Tom Papa's? Yeah. Yeah. Nathan Stanfield.

I've been listening to the podcast for a long time. I'm a big fan of Dusty. All right, Nathan. While I don't agree with his take on most things, there's no denying the man has great taste in music.

I've been listening to his Spotify playlist ever since he mentioned it. Well done, Dusty. All right. I appreciate that. I mean, I just got to get you on board with some of these other things that you don't agree with. You got your own. You got another playlist you'd like him to be a part of. Yeah, I do. And if he opens his mind, he'd get into that too. But yeah, the Dusty Slay Country Music Radio is a very good playlist. Stanfield sounds like last name. That name, Nathan Stanfield, sounds like a name that he'd be like, all right, I'll talk to you. Yeah. You know.

So what, uh, are you, uh,

People just can see your name on a spot. Well, I got my own playlist that I started. You can make public playlists on Spotify. Oh, really? Yeah. And this one is, let's see, this one's called. And you keep adding to it? Yeah. Yeah, it's fluid. You can take songs away from it. Dusty Slay's Country Radio. Right now I have almost 1,200 saves. That's awesome. So 1,200 people have gone to that and been like, all right, I'll make this a playlist I can access. Yeah. It's a hot playlist. Yeah.

If I did, I mean, it would be, people would be, what would your play? I mean, it just would be so sporadic and just, just does it when it makes sense. And then it'd be three songs I listened to over and over again. Next thing you know, by Jordan Davis. That's what I'm on. I've been listening for a while. Yeah. People love the song you come up to at your shows. Yeah. Yeah. We pick, I can pick a good, you know, I can pick a good song for,

When it needs to be right. Austin Adams. I have no idea what the song talks about. Feeling good. What's the song called? Sunday's Best. Sunday's Best is my new, is the new one. Okay. And then we just taped a new special. And then, yeah. Who sings Sunday's Best? Sunday's Best. Surfaces. Surfaces. Okay. Yeah.

And then, so that's the plan for this special. That's the song I've been walking out to. Felt the vibe, you know. But we've come out to a bunch of different songs, you know. But, yeah, I don't really know what that song's about, you know. But it's fun. Sometimes that's the best. Because once you actually learn what a song's about, you're like, ah, now I can't listen to it. Yeah, I just don't take songs in like that. So it doesn't, you know.

Alston Adams, I have it on good authority that a red straw is Burger King and a white straw with a red and yellow stripe is McDonald's. He's right. That is true. I mean, that was a rookie mistake on your part. It really was. I think maybe I was the one that said McDonald's. No, I think I did. I remember thinking they might be wrong in the moment. You know, it's his podcast, so you just let them have stuff like that. I remember the comments, and to me, that being a Burger King cup is worse.

Right? Because you were saying, get the cup out of the way. Yeah. It's worse that it's a Burger King cup. Yeah. I don't like McDonald's, but I like Burger King less. Well, I like Burger King, but I mean, I like them all.

I think they all do. They dabble and they all do great things. Yeah. But I bet. Yeah. A McDonald's cup is like probably a little more trendy. Yeah. Then Burger King Burger King. I mean, it's a real like meat and potatoes. Like you're like, this is what I

You're not like, oh, yeah, swing by McDonald's. Nate likes McDonald's. You know, sometimes people go eat McDonald's after the show because they're like, Nate talks about McDonald's. And you're like, yeah, it's a fun. Burger King is. I mean, I've had I've had Burger King. It's a you're there for a reason.

You know what I mean? What do you like that Burger King does? What's your go-to? Well, I get two Whopper Juniors, no onion, no tomato. Okay. And I don't really like their fries. I can eat their onion rings. I don't even like onions, but I can eat their onion rings. I will send them to get the fries, and then every time I'm like, yeah, these are not good fries. Remember the chicken fries at Burger King? Yeah. Those are a big deal. They had a great long fried chicken sandwich, too. They still have it. Yes. They have a really good long chicken sandwich. Whopper, yeah.

Whopper is unreal. I just get the Whopper Jr. A full-size Whopper is... Sonic kind of tries to do that. Sonic's is pretty... Sonic's got a big hamburger. Yeah, Sonic's. I like Sonic's too. But Whopper... Whopper's... I mean, they're standing on the Whopper. They stand proud. Why do you do the Whopper Jr. and then get two of them?

I don't know, because I'm not a reasonable human being. Instead of one whopper? Yeah, instead of one whopper is what I mean. Because I'm an addict that, you know, just has two things. Two juniors is still more than one whopper. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it's because I have a problem with Dusty. Well, I just wonder. Yeah.

What made you sleep under the bridge last night? Well, you know, I had some problems. I don't know what made me sleep. I would love to not get any whoppers. Burger King had a heyday on Second Avenue in Opelika. We used to have a they still have a Burger King there, but it used to be a real hot spot. It was a hangout. We used to go eat there a lot. And it was also a hangout. The Burger King.

Yeah. But now it feels like- She didn't hang out a lot. I think I said it a couple of times. I think you forgot where you were going. You go, you know, we used to have a hangout there. We'd go there and hang out. And all of us, it was a hangout. We'd hang out. I wanted you to know we ate there, but also we would hang out. Yeah. We'd hang out there. Ironically, I think Representative Sarah Crawford's previous comment was about how her mom would take a-

Chick-fil-A cup into McDonald's to fill up, right? Yes. Because she liked that. She liked McDonald's drink better, but I think she didn't want the pressure of everyone like, you eat McDonald's? Yeah, I get that. Yeah, Chick-fil-A's a little more. I mean, just in, yeah, yeah, I get it.

The hierarchy of it is, it's weird. Yeah. I got to respect that because I do judge the McDonald's thing. But yeah, that's, I like that. What about an Arby's cut? What do you think about that? I'm judging it. Yeah. I was going to say indifferent.

I think when you see an Arby's cup, someone always goes, where's Arby's at? Yeah. Like no one's confused. Taco Bell, I think is like people. Taco Bell, you're like, they were probably drunk. I'm like, yeah, have you had that cup since last night? Yeah. Well, Taco Bell, I think it's a, but I think it would be during the day. It's like a, like a, it's a, the healthier, uh,

People say, you're like, oh, I just got a little thing there at the health theater. I don't think people make that connection. I think they do. I don't think people go to the Taco Bell cup.

That person's probably on a health kick. Yeah. I don't know if they'd take that. But I think if you go to fast food, they would tell you to go to Taco Bell. Who tells you that? Huh? You can go to Arby's and get a sweet. You can talk to him. The guy he hangs out with. Yeah. The guy. They hang out at the Taco Bell. The guy that goes, instead of one Whopper, let's get you two Whopper Juniors. And I go, this guy's on to it. He goes, we'll be down to a buck, not a two in three years. He goes, come on.

Stick with me. Ashley Maxwell. When I was a little girl, I had the privilege of going with my parents to the Masters. My dad greatly resembled Tom Watson, and people would stop him in droves and ask him for his autograph and picture. After many attempts to explain he was not him, he finally found it easier to just take pictures and sign his name, shake hands, and move on. I thought my dad was famous for years as a child when we were there. Great memories. That's awesome.

Yeah. And it's so funny because you're like, yeah, would I just be walking around? Why would he just be walking around? Why would Tom Watson be walking around? Yeah, there's a chance he's playing it. Yeah, he probably was. Yeah, I guess that was after Tom Watson retired and people just thought he was there watching.

But he didn't. It depends on how old this woman is. But Tom Watson played forever. Yeah, he played until. I mean, he almost won the British Open when he was 50, 60. I remember that. 59 or 60. So I still have hope. Oh, yeah. For golf? You're up against it. You better get on it. How's your progress with it? Not good. Yeah. Brian, let me ask you this. This is a debate we were having this weekend. Okay. Me and you up against each other in golf.

But I can throw the ball if I want to.

You're having a debate about us? Yeah. Well, first it was about me and other golfers, but then we had to lower the quality of golfers to make this a fair fight. No offense. I'm not going to beat Nate throwing if he's hitting. I can't throw the ball 300 yards. But I feel like if I'm throwing versus you hitting, I've got a decent shot, I think. It's a great question because you're always going to be straight. That's right. I'm not going to shank it in the woods throwing it. Yeah, but you might have trouble getting some fair work.

I don't think. I mean, I can throw it in a fairway easier than. I know, but I mean, some fairways even depends on what tees you're playing from. It might be 100 something yards. Let's say we're playing from the ladies tees. Oh, then I think you'd win. How far can you throw a golf ball? I tried it this weekend. About 120 yards if I really chunk it. Yeah, well, from a three-story build.

He's not mentioning that. Y'all's weekend was wilder than I thought. Y'all didn't even mention that. Yeah, we did go to that. I mean, it was like a camp. Where was that at? This weekend. It was in, where did we go? Sioux Falls, I think.

No, no, no. I don't know. Rockford? I don't know. Might have been Sioux Falls. Yeah. And yeah, because that was the Canaries night. We went and did that. And then we got back. It was such a nice night. Let's take the scooters out. And so they had a thing called Great Shot. It's like Topgolf. But they were super nice in Sioux Falls. And we went up there and they were kind of...

close to closing anyway. So they had third floor. They just kind of opened the third floor for us. We got a bunch of crazy food and stuff. And we all had, we had like four hitting bays. So everybody was really getting to hit as much as they want. And,

It was super fun. But I threw one about 120 yards from up there. So I'm guessing from the ground. 100 yards. 100 yards. That's a good question because you'll get tired, though. Well, Brian's going to get tired. I know, but he has at least the power of like a bad, like even his weak shot is going to go 80 minimum. Like, you know, your full on shot always has to go at least 100 yards. Right.

Right. And I mean, that's a, and you're, you're going to start getting down into the 40 and 50 yard stuff and, and,

It's going to be tough. I'm going to hit some of the woods, though. We could go do it and play one hole. Yeah. Play a couple holes just to see if even the math is right. Right. But, I mean, if he gets himself in trouble, you're not going to lose your ball. But I think the score is going to come down to being like eight versus six or seven. And what's wrong with the green? Does he get to roll his ball?

Yeah, I mean, I think you have to, yeah. Yeah, you get to roll it. It's not about getting like a pool cue. No, you get to sit there and kind of toss it, but you can let it roll. I would think on the green, you should have to putt.

With a club. Yeah. But to get up there, I can throw it. That's what I would think. No, I think you got to do hands all the way. Just all hands. It's all hands, all clubs. Okay. All right. And we can go try this tonight if you want to go try it. We can run over to Legends and go play a couple holes tonight. But you have to wear a gorilla suit. If you're only with your hands, you have to look like an animal. Yeah. Yeah.

I have to have a monkey, a banana in the other hand. Caleb Hill. I've been in the pest control business for six years. It sounds like my fellow pest man, Dusty, has some woodpecker problems.

The female carpenter bee lays its bee larva in the hole that it bores into the wood. And then the wood pickers do all the real damage when they destroy the wood looking for the bee larva. Fun fact. I wish you had some fun into this comment, Caleb. Fun fact. The bees don't actually eat the wood. They're just chewing it up and excavating it out like a little cave.

Yeah. Well, I appreciate that, Caleb. I didn't think they were eating the wood, but because you can always see the little wood shavings that have come out of the thing. But I wonder because this is a bench. Right. And then underneath is where all the damage has been done. So I would think if it were the house, I could see the woodpecker thing. I'm interested in it, though.

But I just don't see the woodpecker hanging under the bench and then- Upside down. Yeah, upside down and getting into it. I feel like it's more like a raccoon or a possum. But-

I'm not shutting this. Yeah, numerous people suggested it was a woodpecker. I'm not shutting him down. Ooh, numerous. But I want them to under... But none of them have seen it. Have you put a camera out there? No. I have a camera, but I forgot my memory card. Yeah. Get a little trail cam set up. I'd like to see what's going on out there. Let's see what's happening. Me too. Woodpecker raccoon. eBay Motors is here for the ride. Remember when you first saw the potential?

We've done an episode on insects where we debated ants versus humans. I thought this week with the cicadas out doing great, we could talk about some flying insects. Let's get into it. All right. I saw this picture from Tennessee Department of Transportation. The cicadas are out there. If you're listening, there's about...

Was that 20 on that guy's back? Yeah. I was getting lit up this morning walking in my car. Yeah. They come up and just land on you. Oh, really? Yeah. Dude, big red eyes. They're terrifying. I noticed on the flight yesterday when we landed, the jet bridge is just smooshed. Really? Cicadas everywhere. Wow. They're getting planes. Yeah. Yeah. They probably have to keep them up. Yeah. So...

Let's get a little cicada talk. I used to collect those shells when I was a kid. I loved it. You just find it randomly just on trees. Yeah. I had a whole thing going on. But Home Depot is the problem. Where did you put them? Like a shoebox? Well, I used to, for a while, I would paint. I would get the little army men or whatever, and I would paint them.

uh with like a q-tip and i paint them you know so they looked more realistic so i had this thing where i set up on one side was a bunch of like medieval kind of army men like they were about to go into battle and on the other side i had a bunch of uh cicada shells glued to the board with and they were also painted like they were you know about to go to war yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, I was into it. So, but now, I mean, it's like there's an insane amount of them. It would take a long time for me to find enough to do that. But at my house right now, there are so many shells. And you walk outside and the noise is just constant right now. I love the noise. I do. You do? You like it? Yeah. I do too. Yeah. I'd like it if there wasn't

If they weren't around and you could just hear them. Are they everywhere in the country? No, we have a map that shows it's probably about 15 states. So there's, these are called periodical cicadas. There's two main broods, the 17 year cicada and the 13 year cicadas. We have the 13 year. So they come every 13 years. Yeah. The brood we have does.

They're called a brood. Is that how you say it? B-R-O-O-D? Yeah, I'd never heard that word before. Just like a vampire brood. It feels like a guy that's just, he's trying this word out on this thing. Yeah. You know, he's like the brood and everybody just goes, is it a brood? And he goes, I guess so. Sure. He's going to see if it takes off. Yeah. Breed, I would have thought. I like brood.

That's interesting because I noticed for Tennessee, we're one of the few blue ones. So we're a little bit different brood there. We have a lot of different ones. We do, but for Nashville, we're one of the few. We've got brood 19th.

Okay. 19 X I X comes out in 2024. X. Do you know all the Roman numerals? I can't, I'm not fluent in it, but I can sit down and look at it and figure out, you know, X I X is 10 X is 10 21. And then I X is one before 10. So 19. Oh really? Yeah. That's how they do it. So it's what's V V is five, five. So one plus, so it goes three.

Oh, so the ones in front of it. It's less than right before. Oh, I see. So IV is one before fives. That's four. Yeah.

I didn't see the years there beside it. So not all of these are out right now. Well, we've got right now in 2024, we've got brood 13 and brood 19. Okay. So what, so that 2025 brood XIV is 10. That's 14. Yeah. Yeah. Look at that. I just think I learned Roman. This kind of sounds like they're like, yeah, they come out every year, but we just say they're different broods. Yeah. They're coming out every year. So the bottom one is 23. Yeah.

Yeah. And I know the Super Bowls. Now I know the Super Bowl. Yeah. And L is 50. And that's the only they're using XIVL. Yeah. And I think there's there's other ones for larger numbers. I think M and no one ever makes it. No. Did they even make it that high? No. That's why they fell.

Rome fell. What year did they, what year would the, what would their thing have been? What do you mean? Like, would they have been like, we fell in XXLVVLYI? I guess so. Yeah. You just got to keep going. Yeah. Did they just keep going?

You think that's why they fail because someone just goes, hey, we should use like one number. Yeah, just use the numbers. And then they end up in the room and they're like, no, no, no, no, you got to do it. It only works this way. And then everybody's like, I don't know, man. So writing that on a check, you know, just being like, it's as long as the $15. You're like $15. Yeah.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It's the opposite of how we write checks. You're looking forward to writing the word 15. Yeah. It's because you're about to, you know, be like, oh my gosh, what did they have to, I mean. But what if the amount is even in Roman numerals? What is like 1949? Or like in, when did they, what would that be in Roman numerals? That would be. M-I-M-E.

MCMXLIX. Yeah, I mean, that's insane. So can you imagine like, I mean, it would be someone goes, when's your birthday? You're like, oh, because someone just write your birthday down. You're like, I don't think you didn't have it memorized.

I mean, you'd be, you know, it looks like they all look like the code you got to put in to prove you're not a robot or something. Like it's that's what all these, you know. It's your Wi-Fi password. Yeah. It's like capture. It's like capture is all. And you're like, what are you talking about? He goes, I was born in 1949. And you're like, just say that. Why were you being when were you born? MCM XLX. Do they even say 1949? Yeah.

Do you think they, is that what they do? I don't know how they say it out loud. Out loud. Do they go 1949? Are they all just like, my goodness, can you believe it's MCMXLI? It feels like yesterday was two V's. What? Finn, 19, what does Finn mean? Is that a mistype? Yeah, I mistyped, so it thinks I'm asking a different language. Oh, okay.

There you go. What if it's a totally different answer? Yeah. M must mean 1,000. C means 100. How is that an AI-generated answer? They're all AI-generated answers. I know, but I've never seen that. You could still Google stuff and no one was saying anything was an AI-generated answer. Well, now it's... AI is forcing itself into it. Oh, yeah. That's right. That's right. Because there's never been... You're like, I Googled it. That's how we've been doing it.

And they just gave me the answer. And now he's like, well, I did it. And you're like, yeah, but you already Googled. We already had this answer. If you're Google. Yeah. I would be upset if I was Google. Well, if you ask a question now in these search engines, it'll crawl through the results and then try to answer the question as you worded it with AI. It's kind of nice. How's that better than. I mean, you don't have to sift through it to find the exact answer that you're looking for. I think that's happened just the last week or two.

I think for a while, maybe. I mean, this is a... Well, every week when I Google whatever we're talking about, I feel like last week was the first time where it'll pop up an AI generated answer at the top. You can still sift through the other stuff. Are we going to be an AI with looking up topics? What do you mean? What if you use AI to help you with topics? It's kind of what it's doing.

Yeah. Oh, you mean like come up with the topics? Maybe ask AI, these are the topics we've done. Generate some other topics in the same vein. I'd be curious to see what it says. Yeah. That could be a good tool. And then we can just have them do the episode. We don't have to show up and do this. AI, you're right out of a job. Yeah. See if you can't get AI to do your job. Yeah, it's going to happen eventually. Yeah.

You're always upset about how much work you have to do. Just see if AI can do it and then show us how you did that. Yeah. You're the first job. Think it's eliminated? We're going to put a newsletter out where it says, Brian rates let go. It's your picture. And then a robot. He goes, here's a new person he hired, robot. And you go, this guy, robot.

He's strong. First of all, he's so strong. So strong. That's what they call him. He still has nicknames. We're still going to beat up on him, but yeah, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, but he won't cry. So how long did these, he doesn't have emotions. He doesn't have emotions.

I cried or complained about how much work I do. Yeah, we know. We know. We're having a good time. Remember that. Don't forget. We're having a good time. Yeah, that's right. Having a good time. I've seen Dusty. You remember you did that on Stitch. You're like, don't forget. Oh, yeah. I say that still. If the show starts going badly, don't forget. We're having a good time. I know.

You're mainly saying it to yourself. Yeah, exactly. So how long do these stick around? Is this going to be all year, these cicadas? They never leave. Or is it just a summer thing? 13 years they'll be here. About six weeks. Six weeks. Starts around mid-May, goes through roughly the end of June. Oh, so we're in the early stages. We're just getting going. So for them to come out, the ground soil has to be 64 degrees.

And it only happens every certain years. For the breed we have, brood. Brood. 13. But I mean, could it come out? Are they ever like year seven? They're like, what? There are some mistakes. They get like, you know, they're just asleep and someone's like, get up. You're like, what? Yeah, no, we got like six years left. They're grub worms, right? Yeah.

And as the larva, because I've dug them up and been like, oh, sorry. And then I put them back down there and take them to some dirt. So I've probably woken up. What was that? Oh, yeah, that's tough. Yeah, yeah. Other guys was like, and now you moved him to a different family. He's like laying next to, he thought it's his wife. And he's like, well, who are you? Yeah, they're like, I'm a seven-year-old. I got dug up. I don't know where my wife's at. Family's over there. That's always the thing with insects. Insects.

Like if you – The way you emphasize it. Yeah. I always think I'm going down. All right. I always think I'm going to be lower in my seat. Speaking of that, I slept through my alarm on the bus this weekend. Oh, yeah. Rookie mistake. Yeah. He got –

I got a lot of heat for it. You got a lot of heat for it. Yeah. I set an alarm for 830 with big ambitions to do something in the morning. Especially last week, you said Aaron likes to get up and do things. He likes to get up and get going. Yeah, I know. He would. He would get up. Aaron's always like, anything we were going to do, Aaron was like, yep, let's go. Which is great. That's what you want on the road. And it was down forever. But he said, yeah. I set an alarm for 830, and I snoozed it for about an hour.

Not knowing. I don't remember doing this. But it goes off, and then I turn it off and go back to sleep. Then it goes off nine minutes later. I did that for an hour. What'd you miss at 930? Nothing. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. There's no reason to be up. Okay. He was just waking everybody up every nine minutes. Oh, I see. So Foon and Graham were just like, what is going on? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was bad. Yeah. Rookie mistake. I'm sorry, everybody. Yeah. Wake up. Yeah. Jimmy Fallon did that. So it's all right. He did it. Yeah. It was a fun joke. You know. Well, it's different when Jimmy Fallon does. Yeah. When Aaron Webber does it. Yeah. We made fun of Jimmy Fallon for doing it. Yeah. And Jimmy, you know, he made fun of us for sleeping with. So it was a good back and forth. But I was thinking when you get an insect.

This joke might have been done. I don't know. But it's like if you get an ant or something, and then when you move it and you put it in another place, it's like, well, I don't even know where my... I mean, it's like grabbing someone out of California and just put them in New York. Right, right. And then you just go, all right. What's the bit you have, Dusty, about a fly going in the car? Oh, yeah. I mean, it's like...

Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I even forget the joke now. I did it so many times. But, you know, the fly gets in the car. It's like you're driving and then you see a fly in the car. Yeah, and then the fly... And then all of a sudden you let the fly out. And then the fly's like, where am I at? It's like you went from... You say two states, I think. Yeah, like going into the grocery store and coming out in Arkansas. What happened while I was in there? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that, yeah, it would be...

Because, I mean, yeah, you would think some of these insects would be, you know, they have to be like, they're like, I was kind of in the middle of something, you know? Yeah. Well, especially ants. I mean, their whole thing, I think it's, they smell the trail. That's why if there's a trail, you can just kind of run your finger across it and then they are lost for a bit because they smell. So if you take an ant and move it way off, I don't know how it finds its way back.

Let me ask you a dumb question because I'm not afraid to ask dumb questions on this podcast. The cicadas that are out right now, the one that landed on me this morning, that cicada was in the ground for 17 years. 13. That was a dumb question. That exact one? Yeah. So that's a 13-year-old bug? Yeah, they're one of the longest living insects. Wait, it was not born 13 years ago. It's been...

How long do they live? So yeah, they hibernate or they get in the ground as adults and then just chill there for 13 years. Are they doing stuff underground? What's going on? Let's back up a bit. They eat sap and stuff from the trees, up from the roots. So they're living life under the ground. Yeah. And just when it gets cool enough, they go, let's check out the world. They think they know the years. They don't know for sure. Scientists don't know for sure how they know it's 13 years, 17 years, but they think something with a sap. They have an internal clock about

how much sap comes down. Okay. And they think they wait every 13 or 17 years because any predator that would eat them has not lived probably that long. So they're all learning about it for the first time ever. Yeah.

You know what I mean? The predators. Whoa. Okay. So they're not going to be like, hey, we're ready for you this time because they all died off too. Right. Because no birds live in 13 years or a rat or anything. That's interesting. A bird doesn't live 13 years? Maybe some birds. I think a bird's lucky to get six months. A bird in the wild. Yeah. I mean, how long can a bird live? A pigeon? I see. In New York City. Well, that's different. Maybe a year.

How long can they possibly live? I mean, I think they have dead pigeons all over the place. Good lives. Well, I mean, New York, they're eating regular food. Do you think they're live? Well, they probably have diabetes. You think pigeons live in 13 years, though? 13 is so long. I feel like animals live longer than we. But insects are like animals like that. Smaller animals. They don't live. Maybe the cicadas. How long does a pigeon live?

Let's get the AI generated. Maybe the cicada's bigger purpose. Six years. Six years in the wild. Crows live 10 to 15 years. So crows are like, I mean, they just kind of, they learned about it, but then they probably forgot. And then they're like, God, I think I saw these once. Because they're old by that time. Yeah, then they're like, no, I remember, you know, they go, I kind of remember. They go, does this sound familiar to you? This noise? And he goes, yeah.

It's like talking to someone that was born in 1908. Yeah. What was it like? She's like, I kind of remember a horse. Then we had a horse. Maybe we did. Maybe we, yeah. But six years. I think my grandma had a horse and we did for a second, but I think cars were kind of around a little bit. So the cicadas only hit these pigeons every other generation. Or any predator, pretty much. Wow.

That's interesting. Yeah, maybe their larger purpose is underground, right? So they just have to come out to mate. Yeah, I wonder if you could interview Cicada, it'd be probably hard to get him to talk about when he comes out because he'd be like, I would like to talk about what we do all day, every day. And that's underground. Yeah. You just want to focus on the flashes. And you're just focused on the, you know, and he's, and it'd be, you know, and you're like, but what about when you come out? They go, that's,

point it doesn't even matter he said when i come out i got something specific i need to do i don't have time for interviews yeah you come see me underground yeah yeah i've been underground for 13 years come on down yeah i'll talk to you all day long yeah when i come out that's my time to be out yeah i got none but time underground ebay motors is here for the ride remember when you first saw the potential

But why would they not do regular numbers? That's not a Roman. I don't think Romans dealt with cicadas. Well, why do we do the Super Bowl like that? Well, that's because it's cute. But for this...

You don't think it's cute to call these broods? Maybe this guy is really into cicadas and he's like, yeah, brood. Yeah, I don't know. But he's using 17. He's using regular numbers everywhere. But this is a... Maybe it looks better. If you're listening, we're looking at a graphic from the USDA Forest Service. So this is a government issued graph. USDA. USDA? Isn't that the beef?

It's the dairy. The dairy thing. USDA, I think does. I thought they did beef too. They could be in a butcher box. The U.S. Department of Agriculture. And so they, oh, is that not the food? USDA, is that not the food thing? I think maybe. Maybe they're in cahoots.

You think they do both? The USDA, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Yeah. Wow. They do regular food and? They aim to meet the needs of commercial farming and livestock food production, promote agricultural trade. Yeah. And we're into cicadas. And we do some cicada stuff. Yes. Wow. 13 to 17 years. Yeah. Why zero in on something specific when you can? I wonder why we only have them basically over here and they don't have them anywhere else.

Yeah, the Northeast, North America is the only place in the world that has the periodic. Well, but not even the whole North America has it. I mean, it's it's I mean, Texas is our Oklahoma. It looks like is the farthest it goes left.

And it's not even to the, I mean. I love how you just say west, left. Yeah. Well, everybody knows west is left. Yeah. But look, there's a little brood over here in Massachusetts kind of on its own. It's like they drifted off sometime. Yeah. There's a little pink one there too. They got a little bit farther. I bet they don't know about the other ones. And if they did, they would probably come out a little bit earlier. In Illinois, I think they get a little bit of both and they do occasionally crossbreed.

Oh, no. So is it just 13 and 17 years? Yeah. What happens if they come out at the wrong time? Did you ever say that? I might have cut you off. It did say that occasionally they'll come out either like after nine years or after the 17 years. 13 years when sometimes come out after nine years. The 17 year one still sometimes come out after 21 years.

So they still, it's always four years difference when they come out. They don't know why. Now, if it's all temperature, if it's based on the ground temperature, is global warming or whatever, is that changing when these things come out? Are they worried they're going to be coming out more often now? They said they were. You're not worried about it, Dustin? I wouldn't worry about that. Because now they're just out. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. You're saying they're just out and about now all year round because it was 64 degrees. They would be out all day. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm still trying to get the big picture of how this works. I think I kind of think

God knows they're annoying and he's like, I'll keep it. Yeah. You know, there's like, it's cause it's cause it, you, he's like, I want to make this annoying thing enjoyable. Cause it's only here every so often. Small doses of it. A small dose of it. And if it was just out all day, you'd be like, where are we at? Where do we live? What is going on? You couldn't even take a phone call outside anytime. Yeah. Car wash is probably doing well right now. Yeah. That's so cool.

Is there any like cicada religion? Did any old ancient tribes like worship the cicada? Well, they were only in Tennessee. Yeah. So like Native American tribes have like a cicada thing or. I don't know. Because sometimes with the ancient civilizations. You know who would have looked that up? AI. Yeah. AI would have looked that up.

If Bob Bates would have had that on deck. You know, they only come up once in a while. You would think that, you know, these ancient tribes would be like something mystical about it. Oh, yeah, I'm sure.

Yeah. I bet they did. Yeah. I mean, I'm surprised you don't think it's mystical right now. I bet the U of native tribes did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would believe that. They're like, hey, this thing only comes around 13 years. There's got to be something significant. So I think, yeah, I think every, yeah, Native American group had a U. Do you think he was short haired?

Uh, no, I think it looks like him. And he's just like, he goes, I think these cicadas are saying, you know, and they're like, I know, but we're already doing like all this other stuff. And he's like, yeah, something's not right. Yeah. I'm like, at least pay attention. But the government and they're like, there's, there's no government. And he's like, there's a government. Trust me. Yeah. There's a government. Yeah. And they'll be showing up soon. Yeah. Sure. And they won't be ready for it. And go, trust me.

Yeah. It's going to be bad news. Yeah. I'm like, something's coming, guys. And they're like, you're always saying that. And then what happens? The Spanish show up. Yeah. Yeah. Should have listened. I said, I told you. And they're like, this guy, this guy's fine. He goes, the cicada boy. Yeah. But you wouldn't be listening to the chief. No.

Yeah. He doesn't trust the chief. Yeah. You never can trust the chief. He's corrupt. Yeah. So the cicadas, they're in the ground for 13 or 17 years. Yep. They come out. Do they all die above ground or do they go back or do some stay underground for the next cycle? I don't think so. I think they all come out. Only the males make the sounds. That's their mating call that we're hearing. Okay. Yeah.

They said they says 90 to 100 decibels. Oh, do they come out of the ground to breed? Yeah, they come out to breed. That's their purpose. Okay. It's just a hookup. Okay. And then the female goes back into the ground. She lays eggs in the tree. That's right. She lays eggs in the tree. And then several weeks after they're all died, the babies hatch. And then they're very small, white and a couple of millimeters long. And then they hatch.

float off the tree, sit like a snowflake down to the ground, and then they burrow back into the earth. Oh my gosh. And then come out 13 or 17 years later. How long do they live? Like one of them lives.

A cicada? Yeah. About 13 or 17 years. So they only go out once and then that's it. Yeah. And they're only out for a little bit of time. So people think they have a very short lifespan. They're alive and eating and everything underground for a really long time. Yeah. They have a life down there. Yeah. Right. I feel sorry for the ones who don't hook up. Yeah.

Yeah. That's my whole purpose. We all look the same. Why can't we just... You got to chirp a little louder. Yeah. Or not get stepped on. The female does get attracted to the ones that are the loudest. Yeah, I don't blame them. Or you think you... If you were a skater, you came out at 13 years and then also been trying to come out at 17 years. Yeah.

you start just making your way over to the 17 year group and you're like what are y'all doing and they're like wait a second are you 13 years old no I've been 17 years old you're coming out pretty regularly just try to hook up yeah do these things serve a purpose

Are they important to the ecosystem in any way, or could we be done with them? They do help the ecosystem. Great question, Aaron. Thanks. A study from 2005 links cicada. Who's doing this study? No one. USDA. I'm about to tell you. The USDA. They did it in 2005, and then they go, I think that's good. We don't need to look at it. Nothing's changed. Yeah, we've not studied it up until this point. Yeah. Sorry. That's all right. Yeah.

When they come out, there's a bump in a number of species, including red-headed woodpeckers and common grackles, whatever that is. A grackle is like a blackbird with a gray head. Didn't a grackle write into the comics this week? Maybe not a gray head. Bobby Gackle. They kind of look like. Look at that. Wow. The Gackle family. Yep. Grackles are like blackbirds. They come rolling in in packs.

So they come out and provide food for other species. Food for animals, and then bird population increases. Are these birds not eating in the other 13 years? It's like, why do we need... Well, it just gives it a bump, and it helps caterpillars because birds lay off caterpillars because they're eating cicadas. Gives the caterpillars a break. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, caterpillars get a rare reprieve. So, I mean, how long... So if you're a caterpillar, like, how long is caterpillars alive? Because there might be...

Well, caterpillar loves that sound. Yeah. Cicada then. Lifetraining a cowboy two to four weeks. Before they transform into a pupa or something else. And then what is it? No, a butterfly, right? Yeah. Then they go to butterfly. Why don't they just say butterfly? Or chrysalis.

Yeah. And you want to go to that person and go, you want to say butterfly, don't you? You're not saying butterfly. Yeah, butterfly or a moth. Well, it's not a science you go, but you want to, what's a moth? An old caterpillar? I think a moth is like a nighttime butterfly. Oh.

I mean, butterflies only live two to four weeks. Same ones. I'm saying like... How lucky are we to live this long? Everything else is dying off in a couple days. Lucky or unfortunate. Let's spin it the other way. It's...

But I'm saying, so there's a certain group of caterpillars that are like a generation that they just think, well, the earth is great. I had no problems. Everything was, two to four weeks. They come up to a six week thing with cicadas. They're like, yeah, it's loud, but it's, I didn't get eaten. Was it threatened to be eaten? Never felt in danger. And then probably telling the old, like one where there's an overlap to

Tells the older generation, he goes, what do you complain, Mickey? You don't know anything. He goes, we had all day long just birds coming at us. And they're like, I don't know. And they go, I don't even believe that. Yeah. And so they write in their every history book is just every four weeks their history book changes. Yeah. And it goes from like, it's, you know, the birds are the worst. And then one like, let the birds live. Yeah.

They ain't doing, they, I've never seen them do anything. Then another, the next chapter, it's a nightmare. There was a ecologist at the university of Massachusetts Amherst. She and her collaborators filled the forest in Maryland with fake caterpillars made of clay. And then they measured how many of them had signs of bird strikes and

And during the cicada emergence, portions of caterpillars with strikes fell from about 30% in a typical year to below 10% during the emergence.

What was it? 30%? Yeah. 30% to 10%. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's significant. That's 20% more that's living. So this is a good time right now for caterpillars. Yeah. Caterpillars are living it up right now. Caterpillars are a little too cocky right now. They're probably not even trying to become butterflies as quick as they should be.

That's probably true. They're like, we got a little extra time, guys. Yeah, this is great. Let's just hang out, eat the leaves. We don't really need to fly around. Let's hang out. Yeah. Hanging out. eBay Motors is here for the ride. Remember when you first saw the potential?

And then through some elbow grease, fresh installs, and a whole lot of love, you transformed 100,000 miles and a body full of rust into a drive that's all your own. Look to your left. Look to your right. It is official. No one's got a ride like this.

All right, so these cicadas, unfortunately, they also have a urination problem. Like they're incontinent? What do you mean a urination problem? Bladder infection? What are they, in their 50s? They can't get through the night. No, it's the opposite. They have a very strong stream, and they pee from trees. No, is that true? Yeah, I think so. Look it up. Well, I presume you've already done that. Yeah, it's...

Well, he's not writing lies down there. Yeah. That's AI for you. I don't do that. Well, I'm saying I just never...

I don't think I've been peed on by a cicada before. Well, it's going to happen. It's going to happen soon. Is it noticeable? Like if you get peed on, you'll feel it? I think so. And then they laugh a little bit. That's actually what the sound is. The chirping is just laughter. Is it like a dog's stream? I'm picturing a hard stream. Yeah. Like you're like...

I mean, you know, you feel it. I think it's like a water gun. Is it sprinkling out air? Yeah. Do they urinate backwards, too? I didn't know that. I mean, we can find a video of... Here's a video of a cicada peeing. I don't know if I want to pull this up, but... Yeah, I don't... All right, so... I'm into it, though, if you get it. Send that to Dusty. Now, they do have...

Cicada Killer Wasp also come out.

No. Yep. So they only come out every. Oh, I didn't see it. Oh, whoa. Yeah. Wow. That's I didn't know I could hold that much liquid in his body. It's a decent, it's a decent P. Yeah. Look at that guy. If you're at home listening, if you're over 50, it looks like what happens at the end. I think that's a good description. Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

This is one guy, but you're not? This guy's still going. This guy's still going. Oh, I thought you were watching on a 50-year-old. It's like, yeah, if you're... That's 13 years of sap. I'll be honest with you. If you're 45 years old, it just looks like what you do at the bathroom. I've heard that. Same amount and same many times. Wow. I mean, dang. Oh, my gosh.

That's a new thing to just be thinking about all day. Yeah. But the hotter it gets, the louder they are. They can only fly when it's a certain temperature outside. What about these wasps? Oh, cicada killer wasp. They come out also under the ground and they emerge in June and they paralyze the cicadas with their venomous sting and then they take them to their offspring and that's how they feed their

And so they only come out once a year or every 13 years? I think so. I think they only come out. What are the odds of that? Pretty good, actually, because everything kind of works out. Yeah. Pretty wild. Yeah. That's pretty crazy. Evolution, right? That's the way. You could look at these things. Yeah. What the?

So they're coming out June this year? I think so. And they kind of have the same wings. So they, what do they do? I mean, they obviously don't kill you if they sting you, right? I picture they walk out like, They were like, oh, more cicadas! Like it's a march. And they come out. And then it's like a Star Wars door opens and they're like, And they all shoot out.

Oh, it's got a cicada there too. Yeah, this one's just... That's tough. Talk about a buzz kill. That's a good headline. You got to give respect when you get a good headline like that. Yeah, talk about a buzz kill. Friends of the Mississippi Rivers. Shout out to that editor. That is solid. That's solid right there.

That might be a good place to stop. Okay. That's all cicadas, but it's good to stop. Yeah, maybe we'll just put cicadas on there. Yeah, maybe we'll call it a flying insect. We did talk about the killer wasp. That was just a comment. As it relates to cicadas. We're just doing cicadas right now. That was mainly all cicadas. It was. We had some good cicada stuff in there. Thank you. I definitely like them. I like them less than I did when we started. Cicadas? I didn't know they were up there just peeing on us. I read...

Next door.

But it was like someone, because people were talking about wanting to kill the cicadas and someone's like, you can't be killing them. It's like they do so much, whatever, that kind of thing. You're getting like a back and forth. I mean, when someone's frustrated, they're like, I want to kill these cicadas. You're like, what do you think they're going to do? Go run through the neighbor and kill all the, it's just someone talking. What's the real frustration? Yeah. It's like, just go and understand. I don't need them. Yeah, just go inside though.

Yeah, but you'd like to be outside. It's good weather right now. Yeah. That's why they're out. That's why they're out. You can't blame them for wanting to hang out right now. I wonder if it rains, do they? What happens then? I think they stopped chirping. Oh. Do they? It's supposed to rain this weekend. Oh, good. They'll shut them up for a little bit. We don't hear them at night, do you?

I think, don't they? Yeah, I hear them. I thought it was just constant. It's like those things at the World Cup. You remember those? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it is. I think when the temperature gets a certain level, they shut up. So maybe it has to be later at night when it gets cooler. Okay.

Oh, like during, like, so if it's like a hot, hot summer night, it's like, wow. It could be. I wonder if you're out in the woods, like at your place, is it just deafening? I haven't been out there, but my mom says in Chattanooga, she said it is really loud. She was at my house and she's like, it's much louder in Chattanooga. Your mom told me you could eat them. Oh yeah. Yeah. She said you can fry them up and eat them. I don't know where it is.

Do you hang out and talk to his mom? Yeah, where do you talk to his mom? At the birthday party when the ball pit, the terrible ball pit. So, yeah. I mean, I don't know who's doing that. I don't know where she's getting that info out. You could fry up anything and eat it. I don't know where she's getting that at. I don't think my mom's eating cicadas. She could be. She said you could. Yeah, sure. You could eat these things. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that's what she ate at the party. Yeah. She didn't. Yeah. I mean, maybe she did. Maybe that's what her parents were doing. Did you wonder when you said dinner served and she walked out the front door and everybody else sat down? Yeah.

Put them in a little bowl of rice. Yeah. It seems like, remember the movie, what was the movie with the teenage kind of, not like the teenage vampires, but like Keith or Sutherland. Lost Boys. Lost Boys. You remember that? And there was like the scene where they were eating the Chinese takeout. Peter Pan. And then the Chinese takeout like turned into like worms and maggots. And that's what I think about when I think about eating cicadas. You remember that movie? Yeah. I'd never seen it. You never seen it? No.

I've heard of it. I thought it was about Peter Pan. The Lost Boys. Like your Barry Sanders kind of. I know. That was a little. You never seen Little Boots? You never seen Little Boots? It came out. Somebody else said it on a comment on another thing that I said. But yeah, you know. I felt it. Yeah. You don't know the shit of the Lost Boys. Yeah, yeah. It's in there. It's in there.

But yeah, I'm surprised you guys haven't seen it though, especially you. I mean, that was kind of our era of movie. I wasn't allowed to watch any. Oh, okay. That's a little bit older though. I'm what you're, I was raised the way you're probably raising your kids. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right.

except we my dad is a magician so yeah besides that Harry Potter spells yeah they they like Harry Potter I don't watch Harry Potter I never watched it but I was not into that kind of movie yeah I missed everything yeah

I get it. I mean, I support it. I support what your parents do, except for being a magician. Yeah, my dad being a magician. You told him that? Well, we've talked about it a little bit. Yeah. Your dad's very religious, though, so I'm in. He says, sleight of hand is what he says. I'm not doing magic. He's an illusionist. You don't believe him, though, do you?

What's that? You don't, this has got to be a little magic. You know, he's maybe got some powers. All right.

Where are you at? This Sunday, I'm at Stand Up Live in Huntsville. It's Memorial Day weekend, so you don't have to go to work the next day. Come see me on Sunday at Stand Up Live. Bring your church group. I just need people. Come on out.

June 7th and 8th. This is Aaron Weber speaking right now. I'm in Phoenix, Arizona at Desert Ridge Improv. It used to be called CB Live, but they've rebranded it Desert Ridge Improv. And then at the weekend after that, June 13th through 15th, I'm in the Bay Area, Sunnyvale, California, Rooster Teeth Feathers. Great comedy club. I've done that.

So I'm going to be out there in California. Come check me out. Rooster Teeth is a great club. What a great name, too. We got a guy I met that still comes to show, Ed Horst. And he came, I think, I want to say the first time he came to Rooster Teeth. I went there straight from taping my Economy Central special, my hour-long special. I went to Rooster Teeth. Rooster Teeth, and I opened for Angela at Rooster Teeth. I'm pumped. Rooster Teeth is great. It's going to be fun. Yeah. I reached out to them, and they said, this is true. They said, let's see how Aaron does first.

Did they really? Yeah. So ticket sales was, I think all of the buffs. Sorry, but I don't think you're getting booked. I mean, we'll see. Maybe it'll pick up. Yeah. Yep.

I'm doing this thing. I'm in Huntsville, Tennessee, not Alabama, Tennessee, called the Brimstone Recreation Thing. Recreation Thing? I was trying to find some details on it. Yeah.
