238: #238 Parachuting Beavers, Zone of Death & Fad Diets featuring Joe Gatto
01:56:42 Share

Okay. Hello, folks. And hey, Bear. Dusty Slay here. Pumped. Welcome to Nate Land. I'm here with Brian Bates, Joe Gatto, our special guest. I don't know that I should have brought him in so fast, but we didn't really do a lot of prep work on it. I think you nailed it. Yeah. So...

And Nate's here. Nate is here, and he'll just be popping in later. Yes. He'll come gliding in. Yeah. Floats in when he can. Yeah, yeah. It's important. We're pumped to be here. It's a hot episode. Already, it's hot. Yeah, I mean, it's going to be hot. You got to speak things into existence, as they say. It's only going to get hotter, so I hope everybody that's listening is prepared. Yeah. Stretching out. Touch the toes. Yeah, so...

And I guess we can just – do you have anything – anybody have anything special they'd like to say? Well, I want to say I don't know Joe real well, but we've met a couple of times. For those of you who don't know Joe, I probably does. He was with Impractical Jokers. And we were in – I was with Nate in Pittsburgh at a theater, which was amazing. And then he said, let's go over to –

wherever the penguins play there in the arena and see the practical jokers. And I was blown away how many people were there. And then you came to Bridgestone arena here in Nashville, same thing, just packed out. And we hung out afterwards and,

and you guys were amazing, and so... Oh, good. Very funny. Okay, good. I thought you were about to come up with some grievances, and you're like, but I need to talk to you about something. Well, since you brought it up... I have a short list. You know, people probably say this. I would imagine that they say this, because I never was into prank stuff. I never was into it. So when people would say the Impractical Jokers, or I would see it on TV, I would be like, nah, I'm not into that sort of stuff. And when I had my first...

my first kid, we were in the hospital. It was on TV. It's always on. And I just started watching it and I was like, oh, this show's great. Yeah. Why, why have I been so against it? Yeah. And then I just watched so much of it. Yeah. That was a big thing. We were actually, it's not a prank show. We never really treated it as such. And that was just the easiest way to bill it. And we were like, guys, people, we're losing the audience here. They don't know. Nobody wants to watch a prank show with middle-aged guys running around a supermarket causing a ruckus, you know? So it was like,

So we actively, like in the first two seasons, like in interviews would not refer to a prank show. When people did, we would like correct them. Like, well, it's a comedy show where we mess with each other kind of thing. And there was a lot of times in the field when we were doing something, if somebody's getting mad, like a prank show, like somebody's getting mad, we're like, we're doing this wrong. Like we'd stop, we'd take it back inside. We'd be like, all right, how do we change this? Because that was really important to us that it was, we were always the butt of the joke. We were always-

you know, the thing. So it was in, because I'm not a big prank show kind of guy either, but I do like enjoy, like embarrassment comedy was the best way for me to describe it. Yeah. Cause that's always how I'd make those guys laugh my whole life anyway. I would just be stupid. They would laugh at, you know, we get in an elevator, you know, or a subway and they'd be scared for their life. Cause I knew I was going to do something stupid and there's no place for them to run, you know? So that was like just the kind of thing. We just took that and ran with it.

But the easiest way to explain it was, oh, they put an earpiece in and they, you know, they mess with people. But if you look at over, you know, I did like 300 episodes over a decade. If you look at each of them, that was like one challenge per episode. Right. Was that with the earpiece. And then it was all these other games and things we did. Yeah. So it was just really hard to explain. It's really well done. It really is. Because even like people go, I don't even have an example, but.

People will go, they'll go, hey, John's about to come in here. When he comes in here, we're going to tell him that we ate all the food. So just play along with it. It's better than that if you've never seen it. No, no, no. I'm not saying. No, he means in real life for a prank. I'm saying in real life when people do this. Oh, okay. They'll go, oh, tell him we ate all the food. Okay, play along. I would rather leave the room. Yeah. I don't want to be a part of it.

I don't want to lie to John. I don't want to ruin your trick, but I don't want to go along with it. And you're getting roped in against your will. Like you can't just announce that to the group. Yeah. Maybe I don't even know John that well. And now John's like, oh, you're the kind of guy that will lie to me. Yes, you're a liar. When Jimmy Kimmel would do the thing where it's like, hey, tell your kids that you ate all their Halloween candy. Worst. I'm like, no.

First off, we're not going to be collecting any Halloween candy. But I'm definitely not going to be like, hey, I ate it all. Look at me. I want to make you cry. Yeah, it's like make your kids hate you, then just hug them and say, gotcha. That's how it's all. You're on TV. You're the worst. Yeah, I can't deal with it. Most of that stuff, you watch it. You're on TV.

If you're cringing for somebody, like you feel bad, like this is a human experience, which is it. But like early on, we realized that people were like so game for it and we're just itching for like fun and interaction, the social experiment stuff that we couldn't believe like people would buy into it and do so much. And that became like the thing. It was like, Oh, what can we get people to do? Which was like a really fun piece of it. So.

Yeah. Yeah. I think the key is the fact that you guys are the butt of the joke and you're all friends. So it, we just played along. We came along with it. Yeah. That was, it was a friendship on display. Yeah. And you've been gone how many seasons? Uh, three. I bet everyone still says, I love you. Yeah, for sure. I mean, you know, I mean, I was, you know, 10 years. So, I mean, that's how most people know me, you know, but, uh, it's, you know, it's good. I mean, you know, it's, it was a show. I'm very proud of the legacy I did on there and everything. It's like,

you know people love it and people have grown up with it and it was a family show but like to your point when you said it wasn't you were in the hospital yeah like true tv you know played mainly in hospitals and prisons so like people would find it's not a good part of their life you know and i had gotten uh i thought the story i got in a flat in la it was like one in the morning i'm on the side of the 405 my rental car gets a flat i call i'm sitting there waiting this guy shows up gets out this burly dude bald head jacked and he comes over and he goes

no way, Joe. And I'm like, maybe. And he was like, yeah, he's like, I was just in prison. I got out. I was in five years. I got out two months ago. Can I get a hug? And I'm like, yeah, man. So it was like, just so weird like to see. And then, you know, then you see like a grandma in a supermarket. He's like, oh, you're so funny. You know? So he just really touched everybody in a different way. Yeah. That's awesome. Yeah. That's awesome.

Well, cool. You're in town because you had some shows this weekend in the area? Yeah, yeah. I started my new stand-up tour, Let's Get Into It. So I was in Knoxville this weekend. So Popeye here in Nashville. Oh, that's the name of your tour. I thought you were like, let's get into it, guys. We got something to talk about. No, yeah. The Let's Get Into It tour just launched. So it's been fun. It started in September and it's been going great. Yeah, that's awesome. Friday, I was in Birmingham, Alabama at the Stardome.

Comedy Club. First time to headline there. All right. Yeah. Awesome. Congrats. Hot show. Yeah. A lot of Nate Land folks came out. My friend Vince Fabra, you let him do some time on the show. Vince Fabra was on the show. Chris Ivey was on the show. It was a great show. We had a couple of hecklers. Not really hecklers, just people who think they're contributing to the show. They're excited. Part of the party. Part of the party. But it made it fun. Were they drinking?

One of them was, for sure. It is better if they're drinking because it's like, if you're not drinking, it's like, this is what you do? You just yell out? You're sober and you yell out like this? Yeah, you need an excuse to get behind. Yeah. For sure. Yeah, that's the thing about the comedy club. But now I think a lot with the culture, with the crowd work culture and all that stuff, people just want to be part of a clip. Yeah, they think they're helping you. They're like, oh, I gave this guy a clip. He's got it, yeah. Yeah, well, they're right. Thanks for the help, everybody in Birmingham.

You'll be seeing it soon. Yeah, take a look. Where were you, Dusty? I was in Red Bank, New Jersey. Oh. I was at a theater. It's something else now, Hackensack Meridian Health Center, but it used to be called the Basie. The Count Basie, yeah, it's fantastic. And they talked about the history of that place and all the people that have performed there. Really great. Had a super hot show. Yeah, great there, yeah. And then I did the Miller Theater in Philadelphia. Yeah.

It was also great. I've never been to Philly, never performed in Philly. Well, they're in good mood right now because of the upcoming Super Bowl. Yeah, it was great. Yeah, I mean, I guess it was just a plane crash there and no one even talked to me. Nobody cared about that. It's like, we're in the Super Bowl. Yeah. And it was great. I went to a really wild cigar bar. I had the option of a place called the Ashton Cigar Bar, which is, they have coined themselves the world's finest cigar bar. Wow.

Wow, that's a bold statement. But I walked in there and I'm... Maybe it said Americas. But either way, still pretty bold. Still bold, yeah. And they...

I was just like, this seems like too much for me. So I went to another one, which was, I liked better, but a much downgraded. They had hookah, but you could smoke cigars in there. It was BYOB for drinks. I was going to say BYOC. Yeah. They had a hot plate where they were sitting the, whatever the blocks are that go in hookah. And that's how they were heating it up. Just putting it on these little eyes and,

And it was a pretty wild place. Like an apartment hot place? Yes. Oh, wow. That's crazy. And it was overstimulating, bad ventilation. I thought I was going to have a heart attack in my hotel later that night, but I had a good time. There used to be in Manhattan, the Campbell apartment. Did you ever hear of that place? It's in Grand Central Station. I don't think it's there anymore, but it was like somebody's...

of importance of Vanderbilt or somebody's like gentlemen's like cigar room where he used to bring and they converted it to like a bar.

I don't smoke cigars. I'd never been there, but I saw it and I was like, oh, wow, this is unreal. Like it was like kind of like speakeasy-ish because you had to know where it was, but it was really cool. That's the only, I think, cigar bar I was ever in. And they didn't even tout to be America's greatest cigar bar. So, you know. They say finest. So maybe there's some. Difference between finest and greatest. Yeah. Like world's finest chocolate. It's not the world's greatest chocolate, right? It's different. It's definitely sure.

but it, it was, you know, but this was a nice spot. I personally, I'd take a camping chair and a parking lot. Uh,

uh out in the free-flowing air i would say ventilation's got to be really important in that kind of spot i like outdoor cigars yeah you got an indoor cigar a fire pit cigar people enjoy people because i i what i like about cigars is you don't inhale yeah but when you're in a room with bad ventilation you are inhaling you have no choice yes and i hate it okay but i had a lot of fun great it was a good time i'm glad the people in jersey were good my buddy derrick comfort yeah they

Jersey and Philly were very nice. Yeah. I kind of was afraid to go there. Yeah. I just had seen videos of people yelling at people. Yeah.

Philly, mainly. Bill Burr. Yeah. New Jersey, you know, that's the Garden State. Garden State. A lot of gardening there. That's it. People don't realize. I follow a lot of gardening channels from New Jersey. It's so, that always blew my mind. It's called the Garden State. Yeah. I mean, it's known for its Jersey Shore beaches. Yeah. Like, all through on our side, and it's the Garden State. There's a lot of gardening going on in Jersey. For sure. James Pergione. I talk about him every time. But, yeah.

It's a good YouTube channel. Oh, really? Yeah. I have to look it up. I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah. I came from Staten Island. So Staten Island was in between. It's like the Jersey connector between Brooklyn and New Jersey. So it's one of the bars. I'm thinking this gardening state stuff is happening. Is that what Staten Island is? Staten Island. Joe, is that what you're doing? Explaining Staten Island to us? South Jersey. I was teetering it up to be like it's Jersey adjacent. And most people either when they get married and their kids, they make a left or a right, they go to Jersey or they go to Long Island.

I have two sisters. One made the left, one made the right. So one's in Jersey and one's in, but that's like the known thing about Staten Island. Who's doing better, would you say?

We had shows in Vegas. The shows were great. It was fun. We had some buddies from high school come, and so they were hanging out with us this weekend. One guy, I had to sign something. Someone brought an Applebee's menu.

Because I used to work at Applebee's and wanted me to sign it. And so then my buddy, he's like, he brings it backstage. So they gave it to him for me to come sign. And it was just weird making fun of him because he's like, yeah, yeah, I'll go talk to him. It's like something where I feel like I was happy to sign it.

But it was, you know, your buddy doesn't know. How did they make the connection to him? Yeah. He's just, they asked the guy on stage. Because my buddies were just, when I got done with the show, they go kind of stand right there. And then some people come up to the stage and they're, well, I mean, we just joking like, this is my buddy Jeff Gazzara. Like, Jeff's like, yeah, I want to, he's right back here if y'all want to come on back. Yeah.

I know where he's staying. He goes, he's going to be hanging out. Y'all want to meet him? Like, y'all want to hang out? Like, where you're like, it's going to start a whole thing. But I signed it. It was very cool that he did that. And then I have a teleprompter on there that just got my set. It's got my bullet points of my set list. And because as we're building the new hour, I just don't want to forget little things. And so I just got a kind of a guideline so I can –

if I feel like I want to get off topic on something, I can, and I, I'm able to get back where you don't just get lost. So then my prompter went out too. And, uh, it sounded, teleprompter is not the right word. It's a screen that just has the bullet points. So you started listing the specials at Apple. Yeah. Yeah. That's all I got. Uh,

So then it went off, and then I was like, you know, you got to let people know on side stage, like, hey, can you get this teleprompter? But this is my other buddy, Jeremy. It was my buddy Mac, Jeremy, Tommy, and Jeff. And then my buddy Jeremy is just the one standing there, and I look at him. I go, hey, this prompter's off. He goes, they're on it.

No show business experience. No, you know, he's just like sitting there. I'm just throwing the weight of the whole show on him, on my buddy. Did he come up big for you? Did they reconnect it? They got it reconnected. He's a hero. He's a hero. He gave me a chance to shine. What was it like in between while I was down? Were you like a president bubbling around up there? Were you able to be? You kind of get lost for a second.

not because I it's just like oh something's gone so then once it goes you then think all right well now I got to make sure I remember where everything everything goes and it's one when you you know when you've been doing this hour for a long time uh you know for months and a year like right you're like all right I can do it I'll be all right yeah but when you're kind of

in this phase of like, I'm still moving some stuff around and I got something, you know, I got this up top and I wanted to start with this. And then it goes into this and, you know, you just are afraid you can miss a whole section, you know, then an hour can become 30 minutes. If you're like, Oh, I forgot about, you know, there's times you go, but you were like, I forgot a whole chunk that I wanted to get into. And so, I mean, it would have been all right. I'd have figured it out. Uh,

But it was, you just, for a moment there, you're like, uh, yeah. And then, you know, he's kind of telling the story. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I had a similar situation with, you know, I don't have a teleprompter. I had a note card and I keep a towel on stage, right? So I was just starting this tour. It was not too long ago. And I had like wiped my face and I threw the towel over the note card. And like, I forgot. And then I was like, oh, did I forget to put the note card on? Oh, yeah, yeah.

but it was just under the towel the whole time. But it kind of forced you to try to remember it. I think I like that because when you dig in, like you say stuff that you wouldn't have said anyway. So that's good. You need to, it made me think like this weekend, I'm going to go to Omaha. And I think I'll still, I think I'll have my notes there. I mean, I need to do it in a way where I don't have to worry about the time. That's the only thing that makes you nervous is when you got to, for me is like, well, I need to do an hour.

And cause it's like, if I've run the risk of like, I could go up and do it and see what I do, but it's like, I don't know if that's going to be 35 minutes. And then I'm like, oh, well, you know, now. What do you guys want to talk about? I have 25 minutes left. What else? Yeah. I might've told this story before, but in college when I did, I would do broadcast journalism and I, the very first time I ever did sports live,

On the air on my college station. Right when it's time for me to start, Teleproper goes out. And I was, it was my first time. I was too nervous to even know what to do. And I just faked it the whole way through. I just went off memory and made up some stuff and faked it the whole way through. Oh, really? About games? Yeah. You remember the...

scores of the games like from that day like do i remember it now no but like then yeah i mean or like vandy b kentucky 24 to 15 ish yeah yeah you're like i'm pretty sure this is how it turned out last i looked if i can remember correctly i like that that feels uh very in the moment and you're like i'm i'm handling this i don't think i've ever i don't think i've ever had a teleprompter situation that worked out

I could name, like, I'm sure anything, I could name, like, three or four times where the teleprompter just went out. And it's like, and they're like, just go with it. Just go with what? There's nothing to go with. It's the relying on it. That's the hard part because you're like, you could, you shouldn't, you shouldn't rely on it. I mean, a teleprompter is different when you're reading every single thing from it. You know, like, bullet points are essentially you're just,

But like a teleprompter, like if you do an award show and they have the teleprompter. But it's hard because you want to go, yeah, I don't have time to go write a whole thing. Like, you know, I did for the parrot, for the Golden Globes, I wrote that. And I think I had that in the teleprompter. But I...

but I wrote it, but I did put it in the teleprompter just because it was like, I'm not going to get a practice it. I'm not going to get to go say it somewhere else. I'll just write it how I'll say it. And then I can just go off. So at least you wrote it, right? Yeah. You had them because you do have that fear of like, if you blank, you know, where you're just, and then you're, you're like, I'll, I'll be able to get, if I blank, I can get out of the joke, but I'll be disappointed that I didn't do the things I wanted to do. Uh,

So, yeah, I typed all mine in for that. And then all the other actors and stuff, I mean, they're not writing it, you know. They're just getting up there. They get all, yeah. For SNL, I just have bullet points just to what the set that I want to do. They do cue cards there too, though, right? Yeah, yeah. You could have it written out. I don't have it written out. But cue cards for the sketches. For the sketches, you're reading the lines for the sketches. But for the stand-up, there's just one card that I just put my bullet points. It's like...

DoorDash. Right. You know, whatever. Right. Because if you were reading it too, it's not, it's different. Like your delivery is going to be, oh, he's reading that. I read it for the Christmas special. That one I typed out and read. So, and it was like, I was kind of, it is a little freeing

To have it, to be like, all right, because you're writing it. It's something that I'm creating. Yeah. But you're like, again, it's a situation that you see that with TV. Someone who's been on TV the most of anybody is you're like, you got to come up with all this stuff, but y'all would never have any plans. No. Well, the presentation stuff we did. So when we had them, but that was, you're basically explaining your stuff out of it. The only times we had like a...

There were a couple punishments where we wrote the speech for each other. Yeah. And you wanted to deliver it real. Yeah. Because once the room realizes something's up, it's over. So we would be reading. We had a couple where they were prompter. And we would try our best to stick to it. We did one with Murr got punished. And he had... It was at the Chamber of Commerce in New Jersey. And he was announcing this new...

for the city or whatever to somebody. And he had to like go on script, but then we had like a bunch of cards that were written down. He didn't know what those said. And we said card, and you'd have to flip it and put it in there, but then sell it that it was part of it. And that was like one of my most fun. And Murr was really good at that, but he sold it so well because he was on script and we wrote a real thing. So it was really, really good that way. I like that. That's fun. Just a touch of the weird and you just got the right amount of, did he just like say that? But if you didn't sell what you're reading, but for the most part, we were just going-

Yeah. With what we have. Yeah. Yeah. That's exhausting. Yeah.

It's exhausting to come up with. That's the hard part with creative, I think, is the little stuff that doesn't matter. That's the exhausting part. You know, like, after this, we'll be here with Baba. You know, something like you're just because your brain's not there. And your, you know, bigger picture stuff is fun. Yeah. But then the little stuff is just like, ugh. The worst for the promo is we had to do promo days. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

it's exhausting just to like all this. And everybody's coming up to you with their ideas and they're like, but then eventually they would just be like, so you guys just, you'll just talk about this and do it like in a funny way. And it was like, it was like one bullet point. It was like, this is supposed to be a 30 minute commercial. Like what are you talking about? So,

That's exactly what I mean. Yeah. So that's what I mean. The exhaust is a promo thing. Yeah, promo thing. Where you want to go... I've had to do a lot of promo stuff. And then it's... When you go do it, you're like, just write what you want me to say. Because they do. They go, no, you just come up with it. You're like, man, you know...

mentally tough it is to come up with the thing that I'm promoting like the actual show to then just you know the little I think it just comes out all the time just everything your mouth opens and comedy comes out all the time that's a whole other art form in itself advertising is a whole I think that

It's the time. You have 30 seconds. Yeah. So we did a Mountain Dew commercial once for them. And I don't know if I'm allowed to say that on here, but... I doubt it. No, we were... We had Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew was a sponsor. So we did a soda commercial. Yeah. Now you can say it. Okay. So we did...

a commercial you can say who do you want okay each time it's weird where's it was sort of an advertisement big red yes i'll run i'll just run here and just put in what you need we did a coca-cola commercial yeah we did a sprite so we did this commercial and literally like it was it was supposed to be 30 seconds and it said it literally said i remember like because we were laughing it said sal says something funny

Joe makes a face. That was the whole thing. Joe strikes a funny pose. That's what it said. I was like, they were paying money to make this. It was like, just go. It was weird that they were paying the advertising company to tell me to use my body funny. You didn't do anything. It's weird. With commercial, we teased it. It's announced. Isn't my commercial announced? It's already out.

Yeah, teased. But I can say, yeah, so I have a Super Bowl commercial with DoorDash. I think it just came out. The tease came out today. But it is when them doing it, you're talking to the director with a commercial and all this stuff, because you got to get all the stuff that they want said in there. But then it's like they do want it a little more fun. And so I had Joey McCullough do...

He really was with them with writing it. Because it was... You can have little jokes in and little stuff like that. But you just have 30 seconds. And it's the most stuff that they want in there. And then you got to make it fun too. So it's a unique... It is an art form. It's not an easy...

in theory they think yeah just go do whatever you want to go do and you're like yo man you got to give me right because what if you do if i do that you're not gonna it's not going to be what you want i have so much respect for commercial directors because they literally have a ticking clock it's a shot clock and they have to like make this thing and check all these boxes and you think one second you think well it's just one little extra second you go well that matters 100 yeah that's that matters the most 30 yeah yeah yeah that's a big part of commercial that's crazy

uh yeah it was uh i was excited door i don't really i wasn't really doing i haven't done a commercial i've been asked but i haven't and but this one was i like doordash saw my snl talk about doordash and uh and being the super bowl it was like a very fun it was like all right yeah this is like a cool kind of organic way that it happened yeah so that's kind of that's a really cool super bowl commercial yeah it's super fun man we did it

in one day, 12 hours. And it got moved around a lot because of the fires. We were supposed to shoot it one day. Then they got moved, the fires and blah, blah, because it was all in California. But it came out great and super fun. And we had the teaser just got put out. And I think people were to see the commercial before the Super Bowl.

I wish they wouldn't do that. I hate that. I know, but it's like that's the way it is now. It's gone. I know. I mean, you used to watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. They were a huge part of it. I remember you wouldn't leave the TV the whole time, and now it's like you go see top 10. I remember the first time I saw top 10 Super Bowl commercials, like the two days before, and I was like, what? Spoiler alert. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why would they do that? I don't know. I guess they just figure –

I don't know. People are going to... Because you're seeing a lot of teasers right now, right? So you're seeing Matthew McConaughey's got an Uber Eats teaser. You're seeing Shane and Post Malone. Kind of competing with you, right? Uber Eats, DoorDash. I'm the DoorDash guy. He's the Uber Eats. We go DoorDash. And I use DoorDash, which is...

you know, helped because I naturally, I don't think, you think Matthew McConaughey is using Uber Eats? No. No. You're a guy that uses Uber. But the boy right here is using DoorDash. Trying to stop me from using DoorDash. That's right. Yeah, yeah. We're selling, yeah. We're talking about the much money you can save using DashPass is the

I already got Dash Press. I already had it. You're speaking from a place of truth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just give it a testimony. That's the difference between me and Matthew McConaughey Uber Eats. Go stay in next to him. Matthew McConaughey is like, what is this? Yeah. I ordered two blizzards last night for myself on DoorDash.

Which I'm starting today is my, I'm starting where we're getting to with the diet. Because it's about diet. So it was over. So last night. It was over. It's over now. Yeah. But last night I got it, got it in. Nice. You know. Thanks to DoorDash. Two blizzards for yourself. I get one small and one medium. An M&M medium one. Okay.

You don't want to commit to a large gift at one. I love it. You can't get... Maybe I want two. I like to get myself Oreo. Oreo's the way to go. Yeah. I would go large Oreo. Yeah. Forget the M&M's. M&M's my favorite. M&M's my favorite.

M&M's the only one that really put up a fight when it came to Oreo to put the mixture in a drink. Like, you know, a shake or whatever. I guess I've never had an M&M. It's unbelievable. Sonic Blast. Yeah, Sonic Blast or any of that stuff. Go home on the way home now. Tonight. Yeah. Treat yourself. Get one and it's the best. Dusty just had a donut. Half a donut. I brought donuts. Oh, you did? I apologize. Yeah, but I don't like to come empty handed. So I brought some donuts for everybody. I like that. I had a half. Yeah. Yeah.

That's good. Because I'm doing my 75 week. I'm just kidding. Here's just the opposite. I'm complete. 75 easy? Easy, yeah. All right. Let's start with some of you guys' comments. Becky Brandt, as a fellow Idahoan. Idahoan? Idahoan. As a fellow Idahoan.

I can verify that everything Ron said about Idaho is accurate. It was 25 degrees the other day, and I was pretty excited about how warm it was. They said Idaho gets down to minus 20. Well, I think he said minus 40. Minus 40? Yeah, extreme. Frozen potatoes all up in there. I know. That's a lot. That's a lot. People get so upset if they live in a cold state when we talk about how that's extreme. Oh, yeah. People are like, you think that's cold? Yeah.

Minus 40 is very cold. You can't really come against that though, right? Minus 40, that's a lot of minuses. Every time we mention it, someone's like, you think that's 100 minus 485 in outer space? You think that's cold? Yeah.

Come up. Minus Kelvin here. Come up to North Dakota. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't... There's nothing worse than a cold wind hitting you in the face. Like walking into the wind. Oh, it's the wind. A cold wind. You know, not like a breeze. Yeah. When I lived in Chicago, it was tough. Yeah. Because it was like, you just walk to the bus and then, I mean, it just gets... Because wind just gets... Yep. It gets everywhere. And you're just like... It does. Oh, man.

yeah yeah you gotta layer up you gotta tuck in you can't protect your face very well though no matter you got the ears and everything but this is out there i think that's what the scarf is right to keep it from going there and then yeah but then you're right you wear glasses so this is this is in trouble it's a big trouble i've had and i got a big situation yeah i've had my mustache freeze and i didn't even like know it was wet you know what i mean yeah there's like icicles on it

Yeah. Like, why is it wet? But that's the worst. It wasn't snot. It was just. Moisture. Yeah. Yeah. That's the worst part about the city. What snot is. It's true. You got to say. Snot's got some other stuff going on. You can see. But like the worst part about like the city is like Chicago, New York City. You can be walking down the street and you're fine. Then you turn the corner. Oh, yeah. Boom. You get hit on the avenue. Like you blow away. Oh, yeah.

Oh, it's brutal. Yeah. Yeah. New York is a lot of that where you're like, it's not that bad. And you turn, it could be a nice day even where you could be, it feels like there could be 30 degree difference of just sun. Cause the sun's hitting the east side. Right side. You're like, what a day. It's a ghost. It's I am legend. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, Nicholas Wynkoop.

Wynkoop. You think that's a real last name? No, it's alias. It's probably on the run. Oh, yeah. Idahoans are always like Nate's Nashville skits saying, tell your friend Idaho stinks. You don't want to live here. So we can try to slow down the crazy growth and keep it all to ourselves. But seriously, Idaho is really terrible. Too many bears. You don't want to move here.

It's all already ruined. The corporations have found everything. They're going to move in. They're going to buy up land. They're building rental houses. They're building corporate restaurants to look like mom and pops. They're coming. They're going to ruin it. They're going to shut your small business down. They're going to ruin it all.

I don't want to depress you. Feeling a lot of optimism coming out of the dusty corner. We're having a good time. The big money corporations know about it all now, and it's only a matter of time before they ruin everything for us. There's going to be nothing that's got any just personality. No. It's going to be manufactured soul.

you know i'm just saying it's coming okay i just want nicholas wincoop to know to know that this is when he rests his head on his pillow mr wincoop i want you to know it's over it's like i feel this guy's pain you know yeah i feel like you know i moved to nashville kind of when it was starting to happen but i feel like i've seen it happen pretty hard to nashville charleston it happened pretty hard for sure yeah opelika is still pretty safe opelika we still gotta we still gotta

Small town vibe going. Open like Alabama. What was that? Are you okay? God bless you. Everything's okay. Everything's okay. Everything's fine. Matt Nelson. While living in Rigby, Idaho, not far from Ryan Hamilton's town of Ashton, Philo Farnsworth invented the television. Rigby, Idaho now calls itself the birthplace of television.

Guy like that. You know why? Because, I mean, he was just, what does he have to do? That's how bored he was. He's so cold. He's cold. I got to do something. He goes, oh, I cannot read anymore. And so he invented the television. Yeah. It's not bad. It's pretty crazy. Did you ever see that video about the first time it switched to color?

It was making its rounds on like TikTok and stuff. It was so cool. Like it was, they said, and now we're going to, for the first time do, you know, I forgot what year it was. It was a long time ago. And then the guy turns to a different camera and he's in color. It was like so weird. I can't even imagine to see that. So last time that was in black and white, it was cool.

Again, that's how new television is. That was not like our parents were. Yeah. I mean, you were probably born, Joe. Probably close to it. No, I'm older than Joe. What year? Are you? Yeah. Oh, all right. Yeah. Late 40s? You can still pick on me. No, I'm early 50s. Oh, you're early 50s? Yeah. I'm late 40s. All right. I look like early 60s.

Joe's vibe is that he remembers the day it turned to color. Let me tell you something, kids, okay? And corporate America is going to move in there and get off my lawn. Well, it's coming. I think it was like HDTV. You had to have the TV to be able to experience it. It wasn't just like your TV at home all of a sudden.

Unless you own a TV that could do color. Do it, yeah. So I don't know. I remember we started in season one, we were filming in standard definition. And then season two, we went to high definition and we saw what we looked like in high definition. And I was like, whoa, we need to do something. I gotta brush my hair or something. What's going on? Like we saw ourselves and you could see like our outfits versus then when we started to try in season two because we went to high definition. High def changed some stuff. Definitely, for sure. Yeah. Well, I think a bit,

plastic surgery went up with people on TV. Yeah. Because it was, yeah, weirdly enough, it's like you could hide. Get away. I think it's, I almost think it's like too much though. Like now that I'm watching it where you could be, because I think people do make movies still now where you're like, it doesn't, this movie doesn't need to be the most, you know, you need. 15K. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A Marvel movie or if you're going to that one movie, you know, James Cameron, whatever that. Yeah.

Avatar. Avatar. You're like, that can be fine. But like a comedy, I don't want to see. I watch a lot of 70s movies. And it's like, I think that's the golden age of movies. It looks good. Content or look. Look, content and look too. It just looks good. It's easier to watch. Yeah. I was watching some of the golf yesterday.

uh the at&t or mcroy one uh but it was like i mean they have the shots of him and it looks like that uh filter that's like the portfolio or something or whatever it is oh yeah portrait portrait mode yeah it looks like that yeah and you're like i mean it's it's like seeing someone's face that's lit perfectly yeah and all this stuff and you see every

inch of their skin. Crevice and everything. Yeah, like everything. And then they zoom out and they're 400 yards from the guy. It's like, how are you even doing this? Are you using the Hubble telescope? Like, it's insane. Yeah, it's kind of a weird, you know, and you're like, I don't... I bet you're right about plastic surgery because people, like you said, they see themselves

And now they're like, whoa, I got to get this done, this done. I think news anchor is probably for big because every day they just see themselves doing it, I think. That's the thing with television. Like when you guys were on, you're on every day, all day. You're on right now? Yeah.

Yeah. I'm still on them. I haven't been on them in four years, three years. Yeah. Yeah. But it's, it's funny cause you did it over. Like I started, I was 34. I think I was. Yeah. Or 36 or whatever it was. And then, you know, for like nine years, you just watch everything happen to yourself. I'm just like, you go and listen. I always bring up when we, uh, when y'all, when y'all came down to, uh,

The Nashville Comedy Festival. And we all hung out and like, because you guys were our kind of first like crazy fame friend where we got to see like someone get like, where it's like, oh dude, you can't like go out somewhere. Yeah.

You know, you had like Amy Schumer, you had people get famous, but it was like you guys, we were all friends. Like it was, so being around you guys were our first, like, we're like, whoa, dude, like y'all couldn't go there. And when we walked around like Nashville, it was like, I mean, it might as well with Tom Cruise could be walking around. It was, it's a zoo. Yeah.

And remember that guy called? Remember? Yeah, on the rooftop. Yeah. I had a guy. I thought I was texting you or something. But I texted someone. That was for the UFC fighter. Yeah. And I was texting someone and I texted the wrong number.

And then the guy was like, is this the comedian Nate Bargetzi? And then so Joe's there and he loves it. Joe's like, let's FaceTime him. So then he FaceTimes. And so the guy's like, it's me. And then it's like Joe who's not expecting it to be. And then Joe was like, all right, delete this number, never call it again. And then he hung up and hit me.

He never called you again. He was a good dude. He was a good dude. I think he said, he said, can I take a screenshot of this? I said, if you do me a favor, I said, you be a man of your word here and you're going to delete this number and never bother me again. He said, okay. And he took a screenshot. And he's out of your life. Yeah. Yeah. He got it. It was great. Yeah. I am always in a complicated relationship with coffee.

These are all Idaho people. Idaho people, their last names are different. Yeah, for sure. You can't have an F and a PH in one name. Our topic last week, by the way, was Idaho. I'm like, you guys really like Idaho. Are this only ears in Idaho? Do you regret coming on? It's the opposite of impractical jokers. We're only on in Idaho. We're only on in Idaho. You trying to move some tickets in Idaho, bud? We got you. I just played there. I missed out. Oh, you missed out. You should have came here. This is...

We're full Idaho here. Could you guys air this in November? Yeah. We had Ryan Hamilton on and that's the, they were like the biggest star we've ever had in our life. Yeah. There you go. That's, that's our top dog. Uh,

Andrew Furphy, as an Idahoan, I knew there was something I was going to be upset with. I did not expect that it would be missing one of the most interesting stories of skydiving beavers. So I looked this up. Apparently beavers were doing some serious damage. So they relocated 76 of them by putting them in a plane and parachuting them down to a different part of Idaho. 75 out of 76 survived. Really? One got out of its cage in the air and...

failed to its death. Wait, I'm sorry. They thought the best way to relocate beavers was to strap them to a parachute, fly. They want to just drive them. That seems very extreme. And how do they get out of the box? I could not find that. I think that area is too hard to travel through. Yeah. Is what Ryan was talking about.

about oh and we talked about beavers yeah i don't know how we missed skydiving beavers but yeah it says 1948 so maybe they didn't have the technology but they had the technology to do a time released airdrop it seems like very easier to be like get in a jeep just drive yeah

I mean, that's like you're asking planes, which have not been around that long. Yeah. Hey, we all take some beavers up and you're like, yo, we just got these new planes. They're asking the Wright brothers. He's like, we just invented planes. I don't know if we want to waste it on beavers. He's like, but why don't you do the

beaver thing. If the plane goes down, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter anything. Yeah. It's like, you know, best case scenario, these beavers are located somewhere else. In my mind, I'm just picturing, like, you know, like when they do those crop dusting planes, they're just dropping beavers the same way. All these beavers falling out. I could see this being...

This is exactly what you think. The second you build a plane, you're already just know you're... Within two months, someone's like, will you drop my beavers out of it? And you're like, God, dude, I can't. This is why you can't have anything nice. Right.

Can't have anything nice. It's like having a truck with people moving. Yeah. You can't have anything nice because they hear, hey, you know, they have airplanes. Yeah. Well, you take beavers up. And I imagine they were not thrilled. No. The look on the face of that beaver, it feels like he's like, hey, where's my log? Where am I? Yeah. That's crazy. You're in a whole different spot now. Yeah.

Man, that's crazy. There's one coming down. So then they got there to let them out of the box. Yeah, that guy's... So why would they not just drive? I think that guy, he might have parachuted out with them. And they just leave. They're like, Tom, good luck getting out. You're just going to go down with these beavers. But for them to know that 75 survived and one didn't, that means they had to let them out of the box.

So it would be like, well, why didn't y'all just drive? Yeah. Why did you make it that difficult to be like, you got to catch a beaver? But I bet these guys parachuted down with them.

And I bet Dusty's right. I bet the terrain was too. But then how did they get back out? Oh, that's a good question. No, they're gone. Yeah. They didn't. Yeah. Maybe this was just, you know, tourism. They were like, let's get some skydiving beetles out here. Beavers. Beavers. There's no bad ideas, guys. What should we do to get people to Idaho? I got something. Go ahead, Tim. Skydiving. Hear me out. The beaver drop. Yeah.

I love just no bad ideas. Yeah. All right, what if we skydive them? They go, exactly, perfect. That's great. I wonder if the box opened when it hit the ground. It feels like it's not. It's just a wooden box. I was thinking that like it was like a tech, maybe like a technology thing, like a time release crate or something, but it looks just a straight. It looks like a footlocker from Davy Jones. It's like thing, like a pirate box. Yeah. It's weird. You ever think the one that got out?

As he was falling, he goes, ah, I see what they're doing. Oh, that's my bad. He's like, that's on me. Yeah, that's on me. He goes, they just see him passing to them as they go down. The guy, stay in. Everybody stay in. Don't get out. The same thing, they put squirrels in t-shirt cannons and they were just shooting them. Get them out of there. It's a squirrel problem.

That's not, you know, that's not a bad idea. That's not bad. This says, transporting beavers on land was arduous, prolonged, expensive, and resulted in high mortality. Wow. I guess it took so long to get them there that they were dying. Oh, on the beaver. On the beaver. Yeah. Oh. What's arduous mean? I don't know. Tough, I think. Tough. Hard, yeah. I...

Why would you use that word to describe a beaver? If you call it a beaver drop. Yeah, if it's a beaver drop, why don't you go, it's hard? Because everybody that's moving a beaver doesn't use the word arduous. But I think people are like, how hard? Arduous. Arduous. But I feel like there you could say very hard. Yeah, yeah. We get it, yeah.

Yeah, we don't need all the words. We're moving beavers here, bud. How about you? Let's talk. We're not in class. And maybe that's part of it, too. You've got to church up your language a little bit because you're like, we're just moving beavers out here. We've got to seem smart. You don't want to say what you're actually doing. Right, yeah. They put them on horse or mule and sent them over a mountain, but beavers were overheating the sun. What? And it becomes stress to the point of not eating them.

So I guess they probably couldn't get a vehicle through the terrain, so they had to go over horseback or donkeyback. But tossed out of the sky to not stress them? Yeah. Talk to the number 76. Yeah, yeah. I missed in the beginning, but why did they need to do this? They were doing damage to the vehicle.

Oh, so they were like, let's get these beavers out of here. We don't really care what happens. Complaints about property damage from residents. So they relocated them to another part of the island. That seems like a you problem, though. If a beaver is coming in my backyard and biting my deck, right? I'm not going to the office of the, you know, the Chamber of Commerce and being like, guys, you got to do something with this beaver. Yeah, the mayor. He goes, what do we parachute him? Seems cheap. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, back then, too, you're like, why would you not just...

kill the beaver yeah i would think they would yeah i'd imagine you know there's you got to be like there's got to be a ton well no one's counting beavers back then now we're very aware of like you know there's only one left right everybody everybody knows every beaver back then yeah they don't care like they don't that's a great point because how is 76 the right number yeah 1948 they care about

76 is a weird number. Weird number. We have to get rid of 76 beavers. Why is the number 76? 75 survived. And they're like, how many were there? And you're like...

76? Yeah. They're like, yeah, 76 sounds right. 75 would be two on the nose. Yeah. So let's say we lost one. Yeah, let's say we lost... Yeah, that is funny. Maybe they did... Yeah. There was 500. They rewrote the history of it. Yeah, there was 2,000 beavers we just launched out of a plane. Obviously, they tried tracking some on mules and...

This says beavers are considered crucial to the health of Idaho's wetlands. So, you know, they wanted to not just kill them. They wanted to move them. The program was massively successful. Estimated cost of relocating a beaver was $8. Wow. But that's 1946 money. Yeah. Equivalent to $180 today. And the estimated value of a beaver's work over a lifespan was $300. I mean, you're looking at a hundred.

Aren't you talking about a swing? That doesn't seem like a lot. Yeah. But it's $6,600 in today's money. Which, how has the $300 jumped that much for the $8? That math seems a little off to me. $300 is equivalent to $6,600 in today's money. But what does that even... It sounds like now that money, you're like, oh, wow, well, then it is worth it. But it's not. If $6,600 means it was $300, how are you putting the price on...

You're a beaver. Yeah. The work of a beaver. Like, is that their hourly wage? Like, what is that? I don't know. It's crazy. I mean, it's funny. Eight bucks. How much does it cost to do it? Eight dollars.

I could buy the box and the parachute. You know, in the beginning of this, I wasn't really in Furfy's corner, but he's brought us down a really nice beaver hole here that we're talking through. I mean, I've learned something here. We should do this more, apparently. And for a name, Furfy, really concerned about beavers and beaver pelts. Yeah. Furfy. Furf. Furf. Yeah, I would think the Furfy family, we might find out, is the family that came up with this idea. Yeah. Yeah.

He's humble bragging. He's humble bragging. He goes, you guys are so crazy. How do you mention the one thing that my family came out and did? We were moving $108 of fur down there.

Jason Staub, I was wishing that you would have gotten to the greater Idaho movement so that Ryan Hamilton could have weighed in. This is a movement started by residents in eastern Oregon in which they are trying to get annexed to Idaho. It actually has real momentum with 13 Oregon counties having passed resolutions to look into it, and Idaho's state government passed a measure that would allow them to enter talks with the state of Oregon on the subject.

So does Oregon want to zone of death? That's next. Oh.

So, yeah, good night. That's what they're calling it. That's what they're trying to move. He goes, hey, will you take our zone of death? And you go, well, I don't know. Did you give him a flash of your name? Yeah, he goes, it doesn't sound like it's a good deal. No, it's a good deal. It's the zone of death. It's a pretty cool place. No beavers. He goes, don't. The name's not good. Let's start with that. The name's not good. But hear me out. But hear me out.

It's a zone. It's a good zone. It's a good zone. Bad name. Yeah. There's no bad ideas. Right, right, right. No bad zones. Yeah. I guess he would be like, yeah, what are they? I would imagine Ryan's answer would be, I can tell you, his answer would be, I don't care, whatever they want to do. That's what his answer would be. Yeah. Yeah. But if they go, I mean, if they want to go, I guess Oregon's got to put up a fight. Do they want to give up? I'd imagine if you're like governor of Oregon, do you want to go? That's when we lost those counties. Mm-hmm.

It's probably not a good look. It's probably not a good look. So these 13 counties in Oregon, they're the zone of death. No. No. Zone of death is the zone thing. Okay. So these 13, they're just like, we want to be part of Idaho. Yeah. Okay. And Idaho's like into it.

Sounds like it. Sounds like it, yeah. They're dancing with the idea. Yeah, why would you not? If you're a state, you get more people. Taxable. Yeah, all that kind of stuff. And then you took away from... Yeah. Without force. Without force. I'm guessing Nicholas Wynkoop is not a big fan of this idea. I did. There's more room. Move around. Yeah, that's for sure. I can speak from a little bit of...

little bit of experience here. I was, as we spoke earlier, I'm from Staten Island. And when I was like an eighth grade or maybe, you know, seventh or eighth grade, they were doing a thing to succeed, secede from New York city. Cause it's one of the boroughs. And they were like, we're paying all these taxes, blah, blah, blah. We shouldn't. And it was like,

the hottest movement for like until it went to vote like everybody's like we're gonna do we're gonna do it then when everyone's like no we're gonna stay part of new york city and i remember like everybody there was all the talks but i was young like you don't know eighth grade seventh grade you don't really pay attention to that stuff and i remember it was like a big thing where like my parents were like fighting with people about stuff and i was like about we need to be part of new york city so i say stay where you belong stay where you started you know you don't want to you don't want to ditch yeah yeah it's turncoat is it uh

Because they would be like, you want the benefits from New York City because then you're like, all right, well, cleaning the streets is now on you. On you and all that stuff, yeah. They want to become its own city. Yeah.

which is, and it wasn't like, it's not big enough, you know, or there's a lot of stuff behind it. But I think that's a big thing because like you're used to so much stuff that you don't even realize it trickled down. Right. Like, so like, you know, property tax or whatever it is, but then it's like the city, you know, the, the state funding and all that money. That's, you're going to a totally different pot. Yeah. It's going to be, it's going to be big ramifications of that stuff.

So you got to be careful. And maybe this is on a death situation. I support it. I say, just form your own state. Yeah. Why join Idaho? Exactly. Why not make your own thing? Let's be your own 13-county state. Let's crowd the flag up. I want a lot of stars. Now that you're getting a little more attention. Yeah. Then you're, you know, I think if you go from one to one, they might be like, oh, it's not that big of a deal. But if you go, I'm trying to start my own state. Yeah. Then it's, now it's a whole thing.

Regan Cords. Regan Cords. Cordes. Cordes? I was so hoping that you were going to discuss the zone of death, especially since Ryan lives so close to it. The zone of death is an area in the country with a theoretical loophole that would allow someone to get away with murder.

So I looked this up. It's a little hard to understand, but basically there's a part of Idaho that's so, I guess, remote that if you were to commit a murder per se, the constitution says you get a jury of peers to do your trial. There's no one who lives there, so they couldn't form a jury. So therefore you couldn't be prosecuted.

Hmm. That's the simple version. Tough to get somebody to go out there with you though, huh? I know we've had some problems, but take a trip with me. Where are we going? Again, the name sounds worse than it is. Don't read into it too much. The zone of death. I want to, yeah, I want to bring us back together. Let's put a death to this animosity. Yeah.

I'm going to call it the zone of death. I'm just spitballing here. Has it ever happened? No. Yeah. I sound disappointed. Do you want me to drive? No, I'll drive. I'll drive. Let's take my car. Let's take my car. I got you, buddy. I don't want you to have to waste your gas. Basically, a guy just was researching, figured this out, and I think wrote a book about it. And so it's got some attention, but it's never happened.

I have a feeling they would figure a way to put you in jail. Yeah. Maybe a federal. Go ahead and bring federal. That's a pretty big loophole, though. That's the biggest of loopholes, right? You could kill somebody and be all right. That seems really weird. Yeah.

How does he, the guy that, the guy that discovers that's not right though, right? Like, what's he thinking? Like, he really doesn't like somebody. He's like, where am I going to pull this off? He's just, his wife's behind him. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. And he's like, Hey, ever been to Wyoming? It was discovered by Michigan State law professor. Oh, okay. So it's part of his business. Okay. That'll give him, but it seems very shady. Yeah.

Yeah, that's interesting. If you found yourself there with someone, it would be tempting, right? You're like, oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, people probably go hiking there in the zone of death and go, we're in the zone of death. Watch yourself. Check yourself, Tim. Yeah, Ryan is new. Everybody's on their best behavior in the zone of death. You'll never get away with this. Well, let me show you this Wikipedia page.

Yeah, I mean, what would you do if you... I wonder if it would be just... Yeah, I don't know. Depending on how...

uh like obvious probably probably would be the murder what kind of murder was it yeah you know is it someone where people can get behind it like a self-defense murder that's not the right way to frame that and get behind this murder it's like a self-defense murder though people are pro that yeah he'll pro that yeah that's sure and then so then you're you know then they go i think a self-defense murder uh you could get out of anywhere you don't need to be in the zone of death yeah

Yeah. But it helps. It doesn't hurt your case. It doesn't hurt your case. I'm serious. Yeah, sure. Annie Halcombe.

Nate asking why come about gravity has to, has got to be my favorite moment of this podcast. Thanks for the laughs. We've had a little discussion on gravity the past couple episodes. Hmm. Got an Idaho and gravity. Idaho and gravity. Take a deep on something. You don't, what, what, what are you pro or anti? What is. Nah, we're just asking. We're just asking questions. We're not bothering anybody. We're just asking, is it real or not real? Yeah.

You know, nothing. How does it seep in? How does it not seep in?

You know, if you put something... I want to know about this. How does it stop? Like if you're in a metal ball and you... This is the third straight week I've heard this. If you're in a metal ball and you go and you sink in the ocean, you would stay on the bottom of the metal ball. You don't float. If that metal ball goes to space, you float. So how is... What's... How's stuff getting in there? That's a great question. Yeah. That's a great question. Yeah. Gravity is about the magnetism to the earth. So... It's... That's a dusty move there. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, you're like, hey, I'm just asking questions here. I don't claim to have all the answers. I'm not. Yeah. I have no degree in this. I have no degree. I have no skin in the game. It's the perfect move. Yeah. Hey. Hey.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Because I feel like you're suggesting something. We're on the same page here. I'm just... I'm talking in hypotheticals. In hypotheticals. I'm a fun guy that's just talking. Yeah. Let's have a conversation. You're saying the magnets. That's why two magnets, you can't push them together.

What I'm saying... That's not gravity. That's magnets. I don't know if that's the right word, but... Sorry. Joe. Whoa. Whoa. I'm just asking questions, Joe. I'm just asking questions, buddy.

Steve Pointer, Dusty, that was us in the car on I-65. All right. I knew I'd find him. My 14-year-old Shiloh was in the backseat. Son. Shiloh. What did I say? You just skipped the son. My 14-year-old Shiloh. That's like a title. He's got a kid. Like a Shylock. It is his 14-year-old Shiloh.

Son Shiloh was in the backseat with the sign. I thought he was crazy when he said it was you, and then I remembered what you drive and saw the Tennessee tag. All right. And I looked up where you were the night before at a track, so we thought we'd take a shot with the sign. You made his day. That's awesome. All right. I found him and just drove next. They just drove up next to him and was like, that's Dusty. On the interstate. That's so cool. Yeah. Saying hey to Shiloh out there. That's so great. It was fun. Waving to Shiloh. That's so fun. Yeah.

You get recognized. You have a very distinct look, so you got to get it. Yeah, it's my first time, I think, getting rec... Not the first time, actually, but getting recognized by a stranger on the interstate. Yeah, while moving. Yes. Yeah. While moving. Do you get recognized in the car? I can't even believe it, how people put together it's me. Because I'm... Look, I'm pretty normal looking. There's nothing... I don't know, Joe. Hey, guys. I don't know, Joe. I don't... But I'm...

I've had people, I'd be driving, same deal. Like I'm driving and people stop, but I'll have people at, I had one person get in an accident once. They were like trying to talk, like take a picture of somebody with me. And then somebody was stopped and they just, we would drive. We just kept going. And they just like, oh, it's fine. They put that on the show. And I was like, oh, bye. Like, I felt bad, you know? But people recognize me on the, I'm like, how do you even realize it? Sometimes it's not me.

In the car is like the craziest one. Yeah. Who's looking? I don't find myself looking in a car to see who's driving. Yeah. Right? You don't... I don't normally do that, you know? If they're just so... It's got... It's a perfect situation where the person is on their mind, just started their watch. That's where you guys will because you just been... You're on TV all the time. Yeah. So I'd imagine... I mean, you can't... Everywhere you go is like, you know... I'm out. What do you think you do? You just ask? You just...

when you go, you just kind of like assume, all right, I assume everybody knows me. And then you operate with that. Yeah. I operate with that. Yeah. You walk in. And if they don't know you, you don't know you. I don't operate with like, do you know who I am? Like, I like to, I mess with, you know, Steve Burns, good friend of mine. And we, when we go on the road together and, you know, do our stuff, he just hates walking into place with me because I'll walk in the front door and I'll be like, I'm here. Like,

three people like oh my god joe but the other two people that don't recognize you're like who is this guy that's my favorite part so we've done it a couple times and no one's recognized me but i just keep it up and i'm like yeah that's very fun yeah but yeah i think about the most it just becomes part of it you know it's only hard when i want my kids yeah because you're in dad mode you know and you kind of just like be doing that so sometimes that gets a little weird but for the most part it's just yeah it's what it is you've i always thought you handled it very well

Thank you. You always, you like, you had control. You were someone to watch, to learn if someone was ever going to be in that situation, to watch you. Cause you were, you handled it. You just were in control of it. Yeah. Where if you let it control you, then it's, uh, it's not good. It becomes a thing. You become Sal.

No, I'm joking. I'm joking, Sal. You know what's funny is we'll always be able to tell because we were on hidden camera so long. You always feel. And I could always tell when someone is videoing me. I always can. They're never as smooth as they think they are or whatever. But so then we have some fun with that sometimes where I'll just start yelling and making a scene or something. I'll flip a plate and be like, you don't even know. And they think they're getting a moment. And I'll turn around like, what's up? And they're like, oh, you got me. Yeah, that's funny. That's funny.

Kathy Fetter Carpinello. Kathy Fetter Carpinello. Cannot wait to hear what Dusty has to say about Miss Carter winning Best Country Album at the Grammys. I'm ready for his rant. Bring it on, because I'm with you, Dusty. I don't know. No rant. I don't care about the Grammys. I'm happy that Post Malone didn't win the Best Grammy for Country Album, but...

I didn't listen to the Beyonce album. I don't know. My problem with Post Malone all along was that everybody was taking pictures. Every country singer that I had ever liked in my life were doing songs with Post Malone. That's what was driving me crazy. I don't see Beyonce as a country musician. I'll say that. And she has like 34 Grammys now. She's the most Grammy awarded singer.

She's the Grammy-ist? Yeah. But this was her first one for an album. Okay. I think it's her only one for an album. Oh, I didn't know that. Wow. Yeah. Because I think that was part of the, like Jay-Z said something about that, about her a few Grammys ago or something. She's got the most Grammys, but she's never won an album. Yeah, and there were no country musicians that I really care about that were up for a Grammy. So it doesn't make any difference to me. Sorry, Kathy.

Yeah. Yeah, I know. I mean, I do hate to disappoint you. I knew once Taylor Swift came out to give the award, I was like, Beyonce's going to win. Yeah. That's how it was that obvious. Yeah. To be like, why are y'all bringing Taylor Swift? You know, Taylor Swift came out to present. Like, she doesn't even... Yeah.

go to that stuff. I don't... She doesn't have to be there. Well, the Grammy stuff, she... The Grammy, she's known to be an active participant in the audience. She's known for getting up, dancing, singing along with people. They always cut to her, like, to do that stuff. But usually, she's winning everything. I mean, she's either winning... I don't remember presenting. Yeah, she wasn't. She just came out to present. No, she was nominated for Best Album. Oh, she was? Yeah, she was. I watched the last 15 minutes of it, and she didn't win anything. But it's hard, the Grammys, because you have to act...

Like you're happy for the fellow and you have to get dance to their song and sing along. And it's gotta be exhausting just to lose. - I've also almost made a full transition to only classical music now. That's what I'm into now. And it is changing my life. - Really? - Really? - It's so great.

I just ride around in the car listening to classical. My dad used to listen to classical music in the car. In Staten Island? In Staten Island, yeah. I know. I'm breaking the mold out there. Just imagine Staten Island. Rocking out to some Mozart. Yeah.

They look over to see you and your dad. They're like, yeah, that's why we don't want to be a part of New York City. Because of stuff like that. Because that stuff wouldn't be here if we weren't a part of New York City. That's right. Back to Manhattan. Take that classical music to Manhattan.

So you just, no words. Yeah, it's just relaxing. It feels good. But also, you know, not so, I mean, sometimes it gets pretty fired up. Yeah. So it's not so relaxing all the time. No, it could be stressful. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you look back to, you know, the old school Looney Tunes cartoons, right? They used that on that classical music. Oh, yeah. And when the chase scenes came, you're like, oh, it's just classical music going. Yeah, a little jazz in there too. Old school. Mm-hmm.

I'm into it. I get it. I've listened to it when I'm writing or if I have to write something, just have headphones and have some noise on or something. Yeah. I can sometimes put real actual music on because I can zone out. Because I like – I was trying to try to make myself zone out. I always enjoy when I go – I like to be listening to something.

And then think like, let me see how into what I'm writing. I can get to that. I forget I'm listening to something because then you come out of it and go like, Oh, listen. And you're like, all right, that was good. Then I was able to do that. It's a marker. Like it's like a marker. Yeah. Yeah. So you, then you just can try it, but I've done it with classical music or something just where you're like, I don't really want to be distracted by any kind of words, but you need some kind of noise going on. I listen to the, I'll do the calm app a lot and just like, kind of have like, you know,

A jungle. Oh, yeah. My kids listen to rainforest sounds when they go to bed at night. Yeah, they do. That thing, I never really got into listening to anything. Some people need a TV on when they're sleeping and stuff. We have a sound machine. My wife doesn't need anything. And then when she's on the road with me, because I listen to the jungle sounds.

I kind of listen to where I'm at too. If I'm like in the... Wisconsin. Yeah. If you're in Wisconsin, maybe I hear a little flowing... To me, a flowing wheat field. A little moo from a cow. Yeah. So it's basically...

And you'll shh, you're out. I'm out. Yeah. What's your music genre, though? What do you listen to for music? Do you listen to- Yeah, I mean, just everything. I don't really care. Music is just, I'm not a good music person. Yeah. So I don't listen to words. I don't know what they're saying. I don't listen to the story. So you're more sounds. You like sounds. I'm just the sounds. Maybe I like classical music. Yeah, I think so. It might be up your alley. Yeah.

I have a Spotify playlist for classical and for jazz now. It's hard with classical because they're not naming songs. It's not like Mozart, you know, Day at the Beach. It's Mozart Sonata 1 in D minor. And it's like, that's tough to remember. Yeah. You got to go with playlists, though. They curate the playlist for you. Like, if you go on the spot, do the playlist. It's like, what kind of mood you're in for? You have to go by mood. Oh, yeah. And then you'll be all right. I'll be like, you know.

I like to feel jazzy. I like cello. Cello is what I'm into the most. It's been sad. There's like an AI DJ on Spotify. You can do DJ and it's like a DJ that...

just goes off what you play mixes though yeah no he doesn't do mixes but it will or maybe there's I haven't seen that but it will be like as one song's fading out the other one will fade in but it won't be like a mashup a mashup like where it's a DJ like that but you know I should get into that yeah because I'd be curious to see if he does throw classical in for you because it's like a you know it's like a DJ sounding robot that's like dusty uh

And he goes, today we're going to listen to, yeah. And the air horn. Yeah, Mozart. F minor. Just got a text from Aaron. Oh, yeah. He said, we didn't even mention Aaron is recording.

doing the tonight show tonight yes with jimmy fallon amazing yeah he would probably just tape yeah he said uh how'd the pod go today i said still going how the tonight show goes he said fun and set felt good i'm sure i'll hate how it comes out okay all right that's a good chance he didn't want to read that whole text pretty sure of it yeah i told him it was going yeah

Yeah, you go, you're like Will Ferrell that you can only read everything. You're like, well, when I'm on, I'm on. Anchorman. That's it. Another teleprompter situation. Yeah. No, his sets, you never feel good about your sets. Or you're always going to hate it when you watch it. It's tough to watch. You kind of just don't watch it because you have a hard time watching it all night. But,

His special is doing great. Everybody's loving it. Special's doing great. Yeah, it's awesome. He's in it right now. Yeah. He's in the thick of it. Tonight's show. All right. I'm hopping in here again. I love it. I love it. How is everyone doing with the resolutions or goals this year? Great. Great? Yeah. All right. If you ask me, I'm doing great too. Like Brian, who...

loves it. I am doing AG1. I use it. It's an easy habit. So easy. It's so fun. It's just, it's a daily, the benefits that we notice are,

That's why I love it. That's why we partner with AG1. Valentine's Day is around the corner. Long-time partner. Long-time partner with AG1. And Valentine's Day is around the corner. What did you get, Hannah? Oh, I got her just so much AG1. AG1. I was like, we got to keep it going. The best gift ever. How about committing to your health with your partner or significant other?

Research has shown that having a partner can significantly, you can tell I'm Nate's sister, increase the likelihood of habit formation. Us here at Nateland obviously love a good competition. Nate's trying to do that, Eric, with the donut, the opposite of health, and eat these donuts. But not with this. You can have some fun, healthy competition with your significant other this year.

And see who can remember to take their AG1 most consistently. It's a good challenge. It is. It's fun and it's not unhealthy. Better than a donut challenge. It's better than a donut challenge. A donut challenge will kill you. It'll kill you.

So here we go. So it's never too late to create a new healthy habit for 2025. So try AG1 for yourself. It's something we've actually been able to stay consistent with, and that's why I've been partnering with AG1 for so long. AG1 is offering new subscribers a free 76 gift when you sign up. You will get a welcome kit, a bottle of D3K2, and five free travel packs in your first box, which is so great for all the travelers here.

So make sure you check out drinkag1.com slash nate to get this offer. That's drinkag1.com slash nate to start your new year on a healthier note. And that's a $76 gift. I don't know if you said dollar. I think you just said 76 gift, and I was confused what that was. Yeah, well, it's not 75. It's 76. $76. Yes. You're not going to get the dollar, but you'll get that in the gift. You'll get that in there. Yeah. A 76 gift. Yeah.

Love it. Ellie Fordham. Nate, I'm going to start 75 Hard with you on Monday. It's always easier when we know we're not alone in these challenges. All right? Eli. I said Eli. Ellie. Eli. Eli. I bet either one. I'll take both of you. All the hoping again. Yeah. All right. Yeah, I started 75 Hard today. What is it? It's supposed to work out twice a day. Yep. What?

I'm sorry. You want to read one more and then get into it? Okay. That's today's topic. Trey Tryon. Would we ever see a potential Nate Land and Friends cruise? Shows all day and night from our favorite comics. You will. Ahoy, folks. Ahoy. Welcome to the Nate Land at Sea. Yes. So it would have just been announced yesterday that

But we are having a nightland at sea. My only cruise I've been to is theirs. The Joker's cruise. Yeah, they're fun, right? They're fun. I can't recommend them enough. It's such a great time. It really was. We had a lot of fun when we did it. And it was like you're just there with your buddies and there's droves and soda and everybody. It was very fun. That's when Bobby Kelly lost his phone, which is still my favorite. Bobby goes, we're in the ocean.

Like, you know, go to that beach or whatever. Yeah, the one day at the beach thing, yeah. And so we're all... We're in the ocean and Bobby...

He loves all technologies. He got a new phone and he goes, it's waterproof. And I was like, he goes, I mean, you can put it in the water. Does it? Cause he had it with, we're like all the way out in the ocean. And he's like, I was like, but I don't think you can put it all the way out. I was like, it's not gonna be waterproof. Like, like you can just drop it in the ocean. He goes, no, dude, no, dude, that's it is. I got the drop it, the drop it. And he just dropped it.

like five feet down brand new phone in the ocean comes up and then he's like dude it works and then it just stops working oh no and his phone was broke the rest of the trip oh my god yeah and it was it's my favorite Bobby Kelly moment because dude it's waterproof

With confidence. With confidence. I love that. I was like, I don't think you can just put it in the, I think it's barely water. You know, it's like, yeah. It's wet proof. It's wet proof. Yeah, yeah. And he just, he goes, what? We talked to him. He goes, just drop it then, Bobby. Bobby, just drop it. He just drops it. You see his phone sink and just land in the bottom of the ocean. And then he goes up and gets it. And he's like, look, it's still working. And I mean, within three minutes, it's like, our phone doesn't work anymore. Oh, no. It's so funny.

uh so yes february 5th through the 9th 2026 is when the nateland cruise will be uh it's tampa to costa maya mexico and then we leave you in mexico and we move about we go back to america and you start a new life in mexico that's the general plan how do you leave from tampa huh i thought tampa was in the center of florida

No. It's on the beach. It's on that west coast. Oh, Tampa Bay. It's only landlocked bay. Yeah, Bates, his name's on the poster, but he might not make it because he's going to be at the wrong Tampa. That's what we should have an over-under if you even make it. You'll be in Orlando. Will you be alive? No, not alive. If you make it on the boat, do you miss a flight?

Because when the boat goes, the boat goes. Is it, are we going to see you running? Is the whole crew going to watch you try to run? Yeah. What are you basing that on? Just in general, you've missed flights.

You get the wrong time or something. Just a flight? But you get like, you know, the flight to Tampa Bay. If you're late at all, you can get lost with time. Yeah. It's a domino. So what about when we get off in Costa Maya and you got to be back on by 6 p.m. But you could get lost and then go, oh, I didn't realize we were leaving today. Right.

And then you see the boat go. Yeah. I'll have my wife with me to keep up with that. Okay. You guys look good in these hats, by the way. Yeah, that's right. It's a good look for you guys. For sure. It matches very nice with the shirts they picked. Yeah. I didn't see my name. I didn't see my name. You're surprised. I didn't see where my name was there. It's coming. It's coming. It's coming.

It's going to, I don't like Dusty's being above mine. Uh, together. You're together. Your font's bigger. Yeah. So it's, uh, yeah, we're going to be doing, so, uh, I'll be doing stand up, uh,

We will do a live Nateland podcast, a live The Consumers podcast, and Don't Make Me Come Back There podcast. Stand up from, you know, there's all the Nateland kind of guys, John Chris, Dusty, Derek Stroop, Aaron Weber-Bates, Greg Warren, Dustin Eccleston, Graham Kay, Joel McCall, Nego Vicky, Dustin Chafin, Malcolm Patterson, Nick Thune, Vecchione, Veeder, Zimmerman, Sean O'Brien, and Tim Convey, who are on The Consumers and Magic by My Death.

And then we will have live music also. So we're going to... We're still putting some of it together, but it will be... I think it's going to be very fun. I mean, I really enjoyed when I was at y'all's and it's like a cool experience. Yeah. It's like you're on vacation together. It's so cool. Yeah, yeah. It's really fun. Yeah, yeah. It's going to be a fun...

Fun little outing. And yeah, it'll be during the Super Bowl. Oh. Yeah. How's that? The coolest thing about it for people that went, which I always liked, was like you don't really go – when you go on cruises, like regular cruises –

you know you don't necessarily have something in common with everybody on the boat yeah so like you're coming into this and it's like you're on a vacation with a bunch of friends you haven't made yet and that was always the vibe of the ship so that's what people are going to get out of this so i would highly recommend february 5th through 9th to come see us all yeah

No, but that's my favorite part. I do owe Joe a cruise for him bringing me on his cruise. Come on. That is very true. Well, Joe, you can buy tickets. Where do I get tickets? You got a promo code for me at least? Come on. NateLanetC.com. NateLanetC.com. No, it's... We...

Yeah, that's a great way to put it. Yeah, for sure. Because you do. Everybody on there has something in common. It's a shortcut. Yes. And so you're going to get to talk to everybody. It is during the Super Bowl. So what is fun is the last –

On that Sunday is we're going to get to all watch the Super Bowl together. Yeah, so I think that'll be pretty cool. They can't show the halftime. How crazy is that? Seriously? Yeah, because we're out at sea. So we're going to make our own halftime show. Oh, that's fun. All right. Yeah, so that'll be fun. Maybe you and Dusty can finally have your swim race. Yeah. Ooh. It's got a year to train for it. I don't know that it was me and you. I guess it is me and you this racing. The halftime. And you're about to do this.

you know, training 75 thing or whatever. So I got to step up my game. Yeah. Well, we have a year. Yeah. Starting now. Starting right now. We could, at halftime, we go do our... Your swim race. Yeah, we do our swim race. Figure out one lane or something. Yeah. Yeah. With like bait skits in there. Yeah. Dude, I wouldn't make it back. Yeah. They have to stop the race. Yeah, because they have a pool right in the middle of a cruise. Yeah.

So you just go there and back. It's not a very big pool though. So it's going to be, it's like a hot tub. Yeah. It's going to be a quick race. Let's do it in the Atlantic ocean. Yeah. You might take it to the ocean. I'll bring my waterproof camera. I'll make sure. Yeah. Make sure you film it. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Yeah. Well, we've got some ideas that we're working on for the halftime show, but it's, uh, yeah. Very, very excited to, uh, announce this. So, uh,

But I would have thought you would have already done it. Yeah. He's got a big room, like a thousand things. He's got a small club and he's got a big room to spend on what you want to do. And yeah, I'll get you. Yeah. Yeah. You could drive us two hours from our two hours from New York and just drive there. That's easy. Yeah. That's nice. I like that. All right.

So Eli started the 75R. Today we're talking about... What are we talking about? Fad diets. Fad diet. Why do they... Is it... Fad diets are the only diets that like don't work out.

that last for a while and then, yeah. They become, everybody's into it. It's like the biggest thing ever. The big fat, yeah. And then suddenly. I'm with you. I was interpreted the way you were, like fat diets are diet, like fake, like diets that don't necessarily do something. But I think the way you guys take it too about it, if I'm not wrong, it's like you're thinking about the diet of the moment. Yeah. It's like big jeans or something. Yeah.

Jeans go through a whole thing. Skinny, tight, bell-bottom, boot cut. You got the whole thing. But you mean holding up the jeans.

No, no, no. I meant like the fad of jeans. Okay, because there was a big fad of everybody holding up their old jeans. They used to wear these. Oh, yeah. Look at me inside the big jeans. Some people just have big jeans. Yes. I'm filled with big jeans. Yeah.

So 75 hard, I looked it up. It, the guy doesn't even call it a weight loss program. It's a mental toughness. Yes. Yes. It's a full reboot, right? Isn't it that kind of thing? It's supposed to. Yeah. It's, it's, it's to, to build discipline in your life, which is what I, which, which is something that I need.

You fluctuate a lot in your weight? Yeah. Yeah. And then I got way down, and then I'm just at the worst right now. It's just a mess. But I need discipline. Because you realize when you can have anything, it's like the idea of eating. So I can eat McDonald's whenever I want now.

And you're like, well, you're not supposed to. You're not supposed to live like every day is a vacation. And food is a vacation for me. It's like you enjoy like, oh, I'm going to eat ice cream. I'm going to eat a blizzard and zone out for a second and all this. And so I need to get discipline back in my life. And I don't know if I've ever even had it. I've had it with comedy.

with stand-up i would go up every night i knew i had to go out every night i like i had discipline because you can't not have it to not to get to this level but i don't but i were at all where i put it not at all is in my health you know you don't do that you did a smoothie cleanse i did that once when i was on the tonight show and it was leading up to tennessee kidd

Yeah, but I did the Tonight Show on Smoothie Cleanse. Yeah, I did do it. You dropped a lot of weight. I did. It was like a seven-day thing. It wasn't crazy. It's just that you get the water, you kind of thin out a little bit. So it's nothing too crazy. But, I mean, yeah, I've done any diet. I've done them all. How many of you have done a diet, Guy? I did. I do the Joe Gatto diet. Yeah.

Look at Joe. 40-pound weight loss. That's right. Wow. Yeah. It's got your steps in here somewhere. Yeah. Look at that. The fat before and after. There it is. There it is. Look how many chins. Look at that. Look how many less chins. Yeah. No jeans, though. No jeans. No. That's why you're still surprised when you get recognized. You're hurt by it. They go, Joe. You're like, no, I lost a lot of weight. They're like, did you? Yeah. No, that was my...

That was at my fattest. My biggest I was ever at was 225, which I think that picture is at, which is huge for me. I'm like just 5'10". And then I went vegan. Really? Yeah. First I went vegetarian first. And yeah, the pescatarian. I didn't eat meat. I still don't eat meat. And then I went full vegan and I did that for eight months, nine months maybe. And then I dipped back in between vegetarian and pescatarian, but.

And then that just did a lot. But it wasn't even that. It was just more three main things. I stopped drinking calories. I only drank coffee and water. I used to drink like sodas and things like that, which is not good. Oh, yeah, I drink sodas. Yeah, that's a killer. I drink diet, though. It doesn't matter. Yeah. Just drink water.

It's going to do it. And then I started eating half of everything I was eating. There you go, C. I know. I started eating half of everything I was eating. You guys know what he's talking about. Yeah, terrible. I told him everything he knows. Yeah, I did like literally half. I would like eat half a sandwich and not eat the other half. Or just come from that mentality of like finish your plate, you know, that whole thing. I just stopped doing that. And I stopped eating late. I stopped eating after 7 p.m.

I would say 7.30. 7.30, well, that's probably fake news. Yeah, but that was like the main steps that I did. And it really, it just worked for me. I mean, everybody's different too, but that's really worked for me a lot. Were you ever, would you diet stuff like, like you said, like when you get on TV? Because that's the hard part when you start seeing your stuff on TV. But then it just gets to a point too, you get so busy.

and stress that you're like the road stuff like the road and all that it's worse but for me it was when i had kids it was like being totally like when i had my daughter i became instantly aware of my mortality yeah like nine years ago she's nine now and i was just like all right i've not been eating well my whole life i don't drink smoke never tried to drug or anything in my life so i never had any of that but i always had food yeah i always ate like i'm a sweet tooth king i love you know i love all that's cannolis by the dozen you know so i was like all the time i would do that and then that was like

my thing and then i was like i gotta undo this and i saw a movie it was called uh yeah i forgot the name of it but it was about veganism and it says you could show the science behind it it said you could undo the damage that you've done it was like some scientific stuff i was like let me try it so i went vegan i was like i got through the first month which was so hard and i was like i could probably do another month and then i actually started feeling the best i ever felt in my life and i was like really oh they're onto something here and so i just wrote it out and then i was like that's enough i need some fish yeah i start getting too hungry so yeah

And then I slowly slip back and forth. But I always range within around, you know, a 10-pound swing here and there. Now, I've worked with two comics recently. One of them being Mike James who's doing the Daniel Fast. You guys heard of this? I did it. You did? Yeah. I'd never heard of it until recently. Last year, we fasted. You fasted at church, and so you're just doing water, and then you –

Towards the end of it, I did the Daniel Fest. What is that? You just don't eat meat? Basically, you eat vegetables and just drink water. In the Bible, Daniel refused to eat what the King Nebuchadnezzar wanted him to eat. Probably pork. Well, it was meat. And he ate vegetables, and they said, well, let's just test it. And then they came out looking much better, he and his friends, than people eating those. Yeah.

Yeah, it's probably pork. And Daniel was like, I'm not eating that. The intermittent fasting is a big thing, too. People do that. Your window's closed. You can't eat anymore. That whole thing, yeah. Yeah.

yeah yeah that's kind of like the idea is like i think now i just try to go as long as i can without eating because i could always fast pretty good so have you got a diet for the 75 hard uh i i think i'm just counting calories so i'm i'm just going back that's what i lost weight on the first time was just calorie counting and it was you know if i because you get stuck in these weird extreme situations and uh

I'm eating out constantly or I'm at something or I'm – there's no – my life is not really consistent where you can go like I'm home this week or I'm home that week. Last week I had to go – I had to leave Tuesday. I was gone from Tuesday to – I got back yesterday. And I'm in Vegas all week. So you're like, what are you going to do? I can't go – I don't have a kitchen. Yeah.

And so you're always kind of eating this out and whatever. So if I do the calorie counting, it's like that's essentially all – weight loss is that. I do the fasting and the calorie counting to be like, all right, if I have a mental breakdown of – I know like I could go to Wendy's and get a junior cheeseburger and that's like 250 calories or whatever it is. I'm not saying – obviously, if I just eat that, I would still lose weight, but I would feel bad. So – but it's like –

It's going like, all right, today I had fish and rice for lunch. And so it's like, all right, you eat that. And I think I want to eat more fish too because it's – like red meat does – I've started to feel like, you know, you just kind of feel gross. Fish is great. Yeah. I like a trout. You get a nice rainbow trout. Yeah. Love. Love. Just had some nice rainbow trout. It was great. So good. I love that. Yeah. A nice fresh piece of fish versus like a fresh steak, like whatever. Like –

side by side even when i was like eating meat i was always like when you had the fish you just something feel something lighter about that a little bit of rice or something just felt like good yeah yeah yeah yeah i think meat and vegetables is the way to go like it's when you start adding in all these carbs all these breads you that you sit down at the table they bring bread you're putting butter on it eating it and then you go oh shouldn't i ate that steak and

And it's like – Yeah, the steak was the good part. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about that basket of bread you had with garlic butter? Yeah, and then like, you know, like, I don't know. I think all the carbs, all that stuff. I mean, you got to have some. Yeah. But – Yeah, because I could eat like a steak. I want to go back to being starving again where it's like when you eat, you eat. Because when you're eating how I was eating is a lot of processed food and all this stuff, your appetite is not very good.

Because you don't ever get – when I ate healthy and ate meat, I mean, I remember like you get – someone could put a 20-ounce steak in front of you and you're like, I'm going to eat every – but it was like a good hunger. Yeah. That was like a positive hunger versus where if you go to McDonald's and I'm just eating this kind of stuff, it's like, all right, well, I won't be hungry until some weird time.

And then I'm going to just lead into some other bad decision. You know, it's going to be not good. I know water is the key. I have one of those, like, I'm just asking questions here, but it's always crazy for me. Like, I would go to bed hungry. Like, when I tried to start, I was like, okay, I just got to go to bed. Like, if I'm hungry, I'm like, I'm not going to get out of bed right now. It's 10 o'clock. Go get something to eat. But then I wake up not hungry.

Like what happened? I never understood that. And then I could wait to eat till like 10 in the morning. So that fasting thing is like sometimes a lot of it is you just got to get over a hump. That's what you're talking about with discipline earlier. It's all it is. Yeah. Really. Yeah. You just got to be able to go like, I want to eat. I feel better. And then get addicted to that.

feeling good. I want to talk trash about your people, but DoorDash makes it tough. They do. You could get yourself a 10 p.m. double blizzard. You know, that makes it, you got to really, really discipline yourself. No, but you can order healthy stuff, DoorDash. You can order anything with DoorDash. Nice. Maybe even just a friend. Yeah.

They'll just come over and go, hey, don't get any food. The DoorDash delivery guy just comes to give you a hug. Yeah. Just go to bed. Just come over and say, hey. Yeah. Bring me some toothpaste. Yeah. DoorDash can get you all kinds of stuff. Yeah, yeah. Bring me a celery root. He's giving me celery. Yeah, a little ginger. I like teas, too. I'm big on teas. Teas can help your appetite. Digestive, too. It helps with all that stuff, too, the digestive stuff.

One of the earliest fad diets was the tapeworm diet. Eat a tapeworm? Voluntarily ingest a tapeworm. You would do that? I mean, I wouldn't do it now, but it would be... Old you would have? Oh, it's a diet the Bargetzi family would do in a heartbeat. We were very much being all that where you're... Yeah, you guys are always on the cutting edge. Yeah. You're the trial. Yeah, we're trial. You're a clinical trial. Yeah, the Bargetzi would try anything.

So the tapeworm goes in you and then you eat whatever you want and the tapeworm eats it?

In theory. Yeah. And so you can't, but the tapeworm's still living in you. So it's getting fat. Well, the tapeworm's got door dents. It's like getting blizzards. It's getting fat. And that's when you go, you go, nah, I got a tapeworm. How do you eat so much and look so good? You're like, it's a tapeworm. That used to be like a thing that like grandmas would say is like a compliment. Like, you remember that? Like back in the day, like, oh, she could eat like she has a tapeworm. You know, it's crazy. Is it, can you get rid of the tapeworm?

I'm sure there's some way, but probably not easy. Well, my dog had tapeworms. You have to kill it with basically a chemo level thing. I had adult, one of my dogs, rescue dogs had a, had the tapeworm and they give it a 50% chance of survival. The dog. Oh really? Yeah. Because it's like, and she was young when she had it, but to get rid of it, it's like a chemo level kind of thing. It's like the worst thing a dog could have. They would say there was this like home remedy type thing where you could stand over like a pot of boiling something with your mouth open and then the tapeworm would come out.

I don't remember what the boiling thing was. Oh, gosh. I don't remember people saying that. I don't know if that's right. It's probably not. I'm just asking questions. Yeah. When was this diet? It started in the early 1900s. That's how hard... That's how...

predicting food is is that you it is you get talked into this yeah like you're like okay yeah yeah you can stop eating pies or eat a tapeworm right yeah what is is a tapeworm flat it's a parasite right yeah it's a parasite it looks like uh yeah yeah it's flat still zero help with that joe it's a parasite oh

It looks like the, did you ever see a ringworm? Yeah. You've seen ringworm, right? It's that in your belly. It's like that flat kind of like circular thing. Ugh. Ugh. Yeah. Do you want one? I got a guy. You got a guy? I got a guy for everything, man. You need something. I think on The Office, Kelly, they were trying to lose weight and Kelly did a tapeworm or Creed sold or something that told her it was a tapeworm. In 1929, the Lucky Strike cigarette company launched Reach for a Lucky Instead of a Sweet campaign and

Telling the housewives, you know, if you want to lose weight, just smoke more cigarettes instead of eating sweets. And that does work. That does work. It's got its own health risk, but... You're losing those pounds. Yeah. But it does work. Yeah. Because it's an appetite suppressant. That is like the number... Right. That's one thing when people quit smoking, like you'd see them blow up, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they go into... People quit drinking too. They go into that...

like, you know, you need something else. Endorphin kind of. Yeah, yeah. So then you go into- AA meetings, people are just smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee. I mean, that's what's going on. They have a table too. That's like- Donut table. No AA meeting I ever went to had any donuts. That's fancy. That's a fancy one. That's Staten Island stuff. I'll do a couple more. Weight Watchers started in 1963.

It's basically just assigning points to... Yeah, that's calorie counting. Yeah, calorie counting. The Sleeping Beauty Diet, which basically means taking sedation drugs to help you sleep instead of eat. That's

They think Elvis did this. So you just get addicted to drugs. Yeah. And then you're like, I sleep all day, but I look amazing. I look great. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of drugs. I mean, a pretty famous Saved by the Bell episode, Jesse Spano is taking speed. Yeah. Yeah. On diet pills. I don't know when she's singing. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. What's up, Doug? He starts crying. I'm so scared. Yeah. Yeah.

Dexatrim was basically that. Yeah. Leanne Morgan's got a joke about she was basically on speed. Yeah. Because it can train phenylpropylcholine. Close. Yeah. Anyway, it gave you extra energy and helped you lose weight, but it was basically a drug.

So does cocaine. Yeah, exactly. It's lots of them. Slim fast. That's a shake for breakfast. That was a shake thing. My mom did that. Slim fast was a good one. I think I had family. My parents were doing that. Yeah.

Sometimes you drink something, right? Yeah, it was like a nutrient shake, right? Shake for lunch, shake for dinner. Shake for breakfast, shake for lunch, and then you could eat a dinner. Whatever you want for dinner. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. You're supposed to be able to get your vitamins in the SlimFast without all the calories. Yeah, it was like a slushy thing. But it's probably a lot of chemicals. Yeah. Yeah. The Atkins diet.

high protein, low carb plan. Yeah. That's what like, I think that's, you're probably generally supposed to, you know, dude, then that, that guy Atkins was huge. Yeah. I remember doing it when I first started comedy and I did it not for a week or two weeks, but I remember just, or maybe a month, I don't know, but I remember just feeling terrific. Yeah. Yeah. With Atkins. Yeah. It was just me,

No, because you just, I mean, but I will feel great with probably anything because I just put so much stuff on everything. It's just complete garbage. The Subway Challenge, you know, obviously that guy took a turn. The diet didn't. But the diet, you know, I remember him talking about the diet. He was like, I would walk like 13 miles to Subway, eat a turkey sandwich, and then walk home.

And then everybody took all that in and go, if I eat at Subway, I'll lose weight. Forget the 26 miles round trip. You're walking to get that heart rate up. Yeah. He walked over a marathon. Yeah. They're like, I'm going to get a meatball sub and I'm going to lose weight. Yeah. That's how he lost all the weight. Walking. Yeah. Yeah. And Subway was great back in the day. That's when a lot of it wasn't all that process-y stuff. Yeah. It was a little bit more fresh stuff. Yeah. It was so good back in the day, man.

The paleo diet. Paleo, yeah. Caveman diet. What's the caveman? Only even stuff that they could have. Oh, yeah. Meat and root vegetable, right? Yeah. No grains, dairy. And you had Joe Chaz, the seafood diet. I see food, I eat it. That's a fun one. I used to call it Fatkins. I'm on the Fatkins. Oh, yeah.

South Beach diet. South Beach was a big one too, right? Yeah. That was after Atkins, right? The South Beach one. Yeah, that was 2003. There's a lot that just always pop up and you never know what's right anymore too, especially with all the information or misinformation that you can get from anywhere. Yeah. Because I think anybody's different. Somebody's like, I lost 15 pounds on Atkins and it's like, somebody else does it and they didn't lose anything. You know, just really, I think it's- I always think when someone says they don't do it, I think they're not doing the diet.

Because people normally, because they go like, well, I did Atkins and I didn't lose anything. You're like, well, you didn't do Atkins. Because it's impossible not to. Because if you did it for real, you would have lost weight. You just can't. I mean, like, unless you were eating...

five pounds of meat a day like it would it would you do something that's physically impossible yeah and you so it's like when someone says that you're are they're eating atkins candy or they're eating like you know they found something that they're abusing but it's like anytime someone says they do a diet it didn't work all these diets work they all have a loophole though like our friends over in the zone of death yeah yeah that's the thing with fad diets they all work

It's just like how it's packaged to you. And it gets you excited. I mean, I'm doing 75 hard now because it sounds like there's some direction. All you want is direction.

Because I always think that's the hard part with people when they do diets or they tell you not to do diets. They're like, just eat. Just be balanced. And you're like, I know, but you're – it's hard. I'm not a balanced person. I don't think in balance. I think in extremes. And most people do. I think it's good. It's great or it's bad. It's like no one's like this –

Yeah. Like, oh, well, I have this. I'm allowed to have this now. I mean, I guess a lot of people probably are like that, but they go, I can do this, then I do this. Yeah. And a lot of comics have addictive tendencies. Yeah. So, you know, it comes in a lot of ways. Yeah. And food is one of those ways too. You have a lot of time on your hand. Yeah. And you're bored. And you build all these horrible, horrible routines with the road. Yeah. Because you're –

What's open when you get off stage. Yeah. Yeah, at a late show, you get off stage. It's like 11. What's open? I always joke like, yeah, when you headline, like as a headliner, you just get off stage and just get told the pizza's cold because everybody ate hot pizza. Yeah. But it came when you were –

On stage. Yeah, I think about that. I have cigars after shows, and I kind of want to take a break, but I'm like, what am I going to do? Eat now? Now I'm going to go eat every time, or I'm just going to go sit in my hotel room after the show? Yeah. What am I going to do? Yeah, because you're kind of up from the show. You can't fall asleep. We were talking about it this weekend in Vegas, because I think my high school buddies were asking –

guy on the road with me, Justin. And about like, you know, how long does it take to calm down like after a show and like, or what you got to do? And it's, we just went afterwards. You like, I usually like right when I get done, I talk about what just happened on stage. Like I did this, remember that I did that. And you kind of talk about that stuff and you want to hang out and you want to do stuff. But it's not,

Yeah, it's like you need some kind of calming down. Like you need something where it might even be where we – if I'm really on the road, you'd be like, we might go shoot basketball. Yeah. Or you might go – because you could do something that crazy to kind of get that – You got to deflate. Yeah, you got to deflate. It's not like you get – you just need your – it's not like your body – your body could feel tired, but your brain is just – Yeah, it's not.

on overdrive. Yeah, for sure. I've sometimes felt tired though recently. Yeah? Like right when I get done, like I'm like a draining. I really, with the arenas, is I would always feel I get done and I feel pretty drained. Do you feel you're bringing a different energy though? Because you're talking to the last row and like that. Not even just loud, but you feel like you need to. So it's different. The mentality it takes, as you know,

doing the arenas, there is... It's... You know, it's like... It's just so many people. Yeah. I mean, you go to the theaters, it's so many people. Probably some kind of weird energy drain from people too. Yes, because you're... Everybody's listening. Everybody's... And it's just... You're by yourself and it's...

Yeah, it's like I was much more tired after arenas than I would be after any other. I don't even feel that extra after the clubs where I feel like, I mean, out after arena, like I could sometimes go back and you're like, I think I could go to bed within, you know,

Like I could get off, talk, but within 30 minutes of getting off that stage, I would feel like I'm drained where I could go to bed. Now, I don't know if I would fall asleep. That's the difference. I was just going to say that. Like you could lay in bed. You could lay in bed. Five minutes after, but when you use your mind shutting.

off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the only other... Because you're also like, if you're, especially you're doing a new hour too, like you're analyzing like every joke. It's like, oh, that was really funny. I said, like, I remember that. Oh, I should, you know, like, so your brain is still doing, your brain's still at work. Yeah. Yeah. It's almost worse for me. If I go, oh, I'm tired. I'm going to go to the hotel and go to sleep. And then

hours go by and I'm still awake. And now I've, I've almost got myself in this place where I'm like, oh, I can't sleep. And then I feel like I sleep worse than I would if I just hung out for a couple of hours. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. We're about to... Yeah, I think we got to wrap up. We barely talked about diets. We'll put that in there. I think we kind of... Joe, you were... Beavers. We talked about beavers, Joe. You were too fun that we never really got into it. Oh, well, I'm sorry. Thank you. But you've got a...

special out yeah yeah my special yeah i got my specials now out on hulu uh messing with people is out on there i'm on tour now uh the let's get into a tour it's just uh all around america which is fun and then um uh i got a kid's book where's barry that i wrote yeah uh yeah where's barry it was a lot of fun it's based on a story my kid he lost his stuffed animal at night and he went to find it and
