Hello, folks. Welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. I'm Nate Bargetze with Brian Bates, Aaron Weber. Welcome, everybody. We're here. This was, we got in, I got in today. A lot of snow in Nashville. I feel like I gotta get into it. You like the snow? Huh? Get into it in what way? Just get into it, wake up. No, I went to, well, I woke up at like 10. We got here at like 10 this morning.

And I fell asleep and I got here and then soon I'm up. Do I like, I don't know. I like snow, I guess. You guys got, I saw the official numbers this morning. Brentwood got just under seven inches. Nashville airport, close to where you live, 1.4.

Yeah, my Abigail, my sister said, she was like, they got nothing in Old Hickory. It was a joke in my neighborhood. That's why when you were like, hey, just be warned. Our neighborhood's pretty bad. I was like, dude, there's nothing out here. It's like a different place. Yeah, 100%. That's crazy. Yeah, not that far. No. I mean, yeah, I didn't even, I was like, what? Like, Abigail said that. Yeah, because we were like, all right, is everybody going to make it? Like, I don't know.

You know, I mean, we had to stop our bus at the beginning of the neighborhood because it was just kind of tough to get all the way back here. I mean, there's so much snow here. Yeah. That's crazy. You know what I notice is a big problem is people don't wipe the snow off the top of their car. And I'm driving behind people and it's like...

I'm dodging huge pieces of ice and snow. It's a real problem. I think it's against the law. That was me in front of you. Yeah, it was me. We're pulling the neighborhood. Isn't it against the law? I think so. I think you're supposed to. It should be, man. Yeah.

And they just let it – that's how they get it off. Well, they're driving down the interstate, and it's just smoke. It's becoming gas. They're just big pieces, 18-wheelers, ice falling off of it. Well, how they can't get up there on 18-wheelers. Wow, you should have thought about that when you got an 18-wheeler. Yeah. Get a ladder. Get a ladder. Try to find a bridge that's just close enough, just perfect, and just kind of go right under it like you're a bear scratching your back. Like this –

he had to do some work we were like i need a i need one to be just you know just right enough half an inch of clearance there has to be a bridge that's like that's good and he just goes all of i felt good one car behind him uh i was in roland oak virginia with leanne morgan and there's supposedly we're gonna get a full i don't know how much they got but all flights were canceled uh

I was supposed to fly home at 6 a.m. yesterday, right before it hit. They canceled all the flights the night before, so I went to the airport as soon as I got off stage and rented a car and drove home. Oh, really? Yeah, I drove all night and got home just when it changed from rain to snow. Oh, wow. Yeah. What time did you get home? Like 4 a.m. Oh, this morning? No, the night before, like yesterday morning. Yeah.

Your flight was at 6 a.m. the next day? Yeah, and it wasn't hitting Roanoke until like 9. So we thought, well, we'll at least get out of Roanoke. We thought we'd get stuck in Atlanta. And it's almost like that little airport, just like, you know what? No reason to go to work for a couple hours. Just shut everything down. Yeah. I mean, they just shut down every flight. Yeah. That's tough. Yeah, I mean, it was fun being on a bus because it was like you're just like, you're not having to deal with like a plane.

You know, I mean, you're on a bus, so you don't want to get stuck or something. But it was – it snowed. Rick here, bus driver, but, I mean, he drove through the night. Yeah, he was great. I mean, we – I feel like nothing phases him. Rick, you've been to – He's seen it all. He's seen it all. Yeah, exactly. No, they get stuck. I mean, we got – you know, there's – yeah, you go drive up in Canada and stuff like – I mean, they have to drive –

Those buses you got to drive around. It's nice having a bus because it's nice just being like, all right, I can, I don't know, not going to the airport and then you're just in the bus and I don't know. There's just, you kind of got everything there. So you just feel like if you ever even got stuck, you'd be like, all right, we got all our stuff here. Obviously a bus would be better than a car. Yeah. That's what I drove in this weekend. Drove my minivan to Iowa and back through that snow. West Wing.

No, I had somebody else in the car with me. I had my buddy Joe Kelly, and I felt weird watching a show he doesn't know about. Yeah. Y'all found one together? Y'all going to go through the office? You're going to run back through Seinfeld? We just had to chat. Were you driving? I drove the whole way. So you didn't feel weird about watching the TV while you drove just because he hadn't seen the show? That's what made you feel weird about it? Yeah, of course. Yeah. Because I pull it up. I want to make this clear. I'm not like I have it up on my...

lap and I'm looking down. I got picture in picture on my phone and

So I got Google Maps up, and then I got a little small little corner is the West Wing or whatever show. So you had to lean in to watch it. No, I got it up on the little mount right in my car. And every now and then, you know, the West Wing, what's great about it is it's not very visual. Yeah. So you can just kind of listen to it. And then every now and then, you just kind of peek over and see what's going on and then look back. Great description of a TV show. You don't have to really watch it.

It's more of a listening. Oh, that's good. I can be bored with my eyes and my ears. Has Succession passed it now? Oh, Succession was amazing, man. But didn't you say it was your new favorite show? Oh, I mean, I think, dude, its highs are about as good as it gets. I don't know if you've seen Succession. Mm-mm.

I don't know if you'd like it. I could be on my way down just enjoying stuff from here on out. I could be on my way out. Just in general. Yeah, just in general. It's just kind of like I'm not as good as getting new things in. When was the last show? Ted Lasso. Yeah, that was the last one you got kind of passionate about and you liked it? Yeah. And you didn't even watch the new season, did you? No, not yet. I will. I will watch the new season.

It's like you get, you just got to get caught. I don't know if it's just me and like if it's, I don't know, like, you know what I mean? Look, Narcos, I love. And like this one, I just haven't started yet. You know, I'm having trouble like paying attention to them. I'm having trouble like, I was like talking to someone, Joey McCullough, who's with us again, but like I was like watching stuff.

I was like, this stuff doesn't stick with me. I watch it, and then it's just like I didn't watch it. We watched a bunch of Matrix at the – or Unico is my – we saw Matrix at the movie theater, and I don't remember. I might as well not have went. It just meant nothing to me. I just left, and it's like – Did you have a good time, though? The new one? Yeah, the new one. Oh, okay. I don't even really know. I mean, the other ones, it's like – Well, you just learned a couple weeks ago that it was a simulation –

Yeah, I don't even understand the whole thing. But I mean, it's like I can just go to – it just doesn't stick with me. I don't soak it in. I'm not – I'm just kind of thinking. I want my brain – I mean, there could be stuff wrong with me.

I mean, are people not supposed to do that? I don't have no... You definitely wouldn't like Succession then. It's a very high effort show. Yeah, it's like you gotta... You gotta like settle in, let's pay attention to everything that's going on. Yeah, I think that's not... And Narcos would be hard to watch on the road. Yeah, like I like Narcos. I wouldn't be able to watch... It's all a different language. I love Narcos, but I don't know. It might just be... I don't think it's... It's like I'm just busier than I've... Like I just have too much...

on my mind and that it's like hard for me to even find the time to do it and if i do find the time i i i want to relax and i don't want to be invested in maybe that's it yeah maybe that's it you have a career and a family dude yeah and i have neither so i can enjoy these shows i'm trying to get both but uh yeah watches everything all the time in the world yeah

Well, that's why people watch, but they, you know, you go back and watch like Seinfeld and watch all these old jokes. You're like, you just like, you know, it's easy. Yeah. Like, all right, just put it on. Zone in and out. Zone in and out. Yeah. That's all. That's all you're trying to do. That's all we're trying to do. That's what this podcast probably is. Right. Let people zone in and out, you know? Let's read some comments from you guys. First up, Kristen Rucker.

I know a record. Great episode, guys. The beginning was so relatable from Aaron eating a whole tray of brownies, even though he couldn't taste them, to the incredibly hilarious MRI discussion, like loading a musket to Nate's inability to stop eating sugar unless he finds out there's something seriously wrong. And Henry Cho was the icing on the cake. I look forward to listening every week, but this one was truly great. Thank you, Kristen.

Number one, Critter. Henry Cho is very enjoyable, and now that I know how hard he worked and sacrificed prior to his family, I admire his character as well as respect his talent. He's just good people. Yep. He moved everybody back here. Yeah, it's a big move. It's good. Kevin McAllister, 85.

I saw the Instagram story about the toboggan before I got the chance to catch up on this podcast. And now that I'm hearing you guys talk about it, I can't keep it together. As a Canadian, I have never heard of a, heard a toque, T-O-Q-E. I think it's toque. A toque called toboggan in my life. Watching people say toboggan so naturally in conversation was a trip and had me laughing so hard. Thank you for the completely random moment made my day.

Yeah, a few things have polarized the listeners as much as this discussion. I don't think anything has. I think it's let's go versus hello. Yeah. That was the last thing that people have strong opinions about. Maybe that was just fun. Mm-hmm. This one's kind of fun. I know, but I'm saying, is this one getting more serious? This one got pretty serious. As serious as a discussion about what to call a hat can be. Yeah. I've never heard of toke. I hadn't either.

I only have heard of Toke through Dusty Slay's wife, Hannah, who's Canadian. I heard her call it that once. But who's calling it that in real life? You didn't say anything? No, I let it slide. Yeah.

I used context clues. I figured out what she was talking about. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, generally speaking, it seemed like people in the South call it toboggan. People in Canada call it a toque, and the rest of the U.S. calls it a beanie. Yeah. But people have sent me articles saying there's different variations. Everything's technically a beanie. Yeah. And then a toboggan's a type of beanie. And there's a lot of different things. Knit cap, sock cap, stocking cap. Yeah. Stocking cap. But the poll we did, beanie dominated because...

I think most of them. That's what everybody does. Everybody calls it Beanie. I like that there's a lot of toboggans. Yeah. That does make me feel good. Yeah. But people in Canada were pretty fired up about us calling it Toboggan. So if you're listening, it's 437 votes for Toboggan, 1,844 votes for Beanie, and then Toke came in last at 216 votes. Kind of probably read those wrong. For people listening at home, if you're in suspense, you just did the middle first.

and then you went first place in the middle and then just who cares 216 at the bottom i mean like if i mean it's the abc that's what the big arm got coming in third place we have tope 216 toboggan 437 beanie 1840 yeah that would have been the way to do it for sure you read it maybe the least exciting way you can read it honestly uh

I don't know if you could pick a worse way. Because even if you... Yeah, there couldn't be. That's the only way that's not good is to go 437, 1844 a second, and 216 at the end. There's... I mean... All right.

Well, all right. And I didn't even think anything about it when you said it last week because that's what I call it. No. Toboggan. I call it a beanie, but I hear toboggan enough that I don't even think about it. Who started the poll? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, people were so fired up about it that I did the poll and I really got people fired up. Yeah. I love the different regional terms. They're really funny to me. I had a buddy in college from Wisconsin.

And one day he was like, I got to fill up my water bottle at the bubbler real quick. I was like, what are you talking about? That's crazy. Yeah. The water fountain. Bubbler. It was a bubbler. I've never heard of it. And where's he from? Milwaukee. Yeah. Wisconsin. Yeah. Is that Milwaukee's head? Yeah.

The bubbler. A bubbler. Yeah. A very small little region in that part of the country that calls it a bubbler. Most of the country calls it a drinking fountain. I've always called it a water fountain. I call it a water fountain. Yeah. Water fountain. Because that's what it is, you know? It's because it gives you, well, you drink out of it, though, too. Not always. If you're filling up a water bottle out of it. You're going to drink eventually. Yeah.

Should be eventually a drinking family. Eventually a drinking family. Watering your plants.

well i mean you're like a nut job you take your plants up there and you you're staying in line with a pot like that's what you would be you'd be and there's a line of kids just waiting for the turns and you're like four back and you got just a plot just a pot and then you just set it up there and just turn it on and it doesn't you gotta you gotta bend it over a little bit because the stream's not high enough you get hit with some of those streams oh i

I missed the little turn one was always good, but man, you bend down and you hit right in the forehead. Yeah, they don't have it calibrated right. Yeah. And if you don't know, and then some of them, like no water comes out and everybody's mouth's just on it. It's coming out just a little bit. Just a little bit. And then you just, and kids will just, your mouth just goes on it. It is very funny to be like it will, when it just hits you right in the face.

Because you're not even prepared for it. I just remember being in line at school, and it was just the prime chance to kick someone while they're doing it. What?

I got kicked a lot. I was going to say, there's no way you were doing it. You were getting kicked while you were drinking. No, think about it. It was just me. Yeah. That's your most vulnerable position. You never saw that? That never happened? Just boys like to kick each other? I think we grew up in different times. I don't think I was around. I had water fountains. We were just like... I had segregated water fountains. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you lived there. Yeah.

Different time? Different time. Did you get kicked a bunch? A couple times, yeah. It was the prime...

kicking your position you're vulnerable your back is exposed you're leaning over that's what i would kick you for sure yeah how quick are you taking the drink i think you're supposed to drink like a you know like an animal drinking out of water where they kind of always kind of keep looking i mean you would turn sideways to kind of try to keep an eye on somebody yeah i mean would you just be in there they're just drinking like i mean like really drinking

your head hits the wall because they kick you from behind you grab your potted plant and walk off maybe that's why they were kicking me because I was watering my plant yeah Kyle Cox I'm a teacher and I often tell my students the only way to get better at reading is by reading we are now 80 episodes in and Nate Lane is proving otherwise

Sorry, kids. I know. He's getting better. If he slows down, if I slow down, we nail it. Chase House. I noticed at his show the other night that the two guys that opened the show brought their own wireless mic. I'll save you that. But Nate had a wired mic.

sitting on the stage waiting for him. Is that a personal preference of Nate's or is there another reason behind it? Also, I noticed everyone kept looking off to the right of the stage during their acts. Was there like a timer over there to keep track of? I don't know where. So yeah, we just, I do have it. So I don't have the mic stand up there anymore because I just always moved it.

And so I just have the stool and I lay the mic on the stool with my water. And so my stuff's all just kind of set there. And then, so the openers come and we just have it bring, they just bring wireless mics just cause mine, I do hit, you have a cord and,

I don't, uh, using wireless mic is not bad. I think, I don't mind using wireless mics, uh, but I think a long set maybe makes you a little nervous, like, cause it's like where the battery goes out while anything goes wrong, whatever. Uh, so short sets, usually it's, you feel fine with it. But do y'all do that because of COVID? No. Oh. No.

I mean, maybe. Sure. Anything anybody's ever thought I've done because of COVID has been pure accident. Well, when I'm out with Leigh Ann, they make us use separate mics. They don't make us, but that's the reason. It's for COVID. The theater does it. No. No. I've never had anybody say anything. Yeah. Well, I don't know why they...

But so they, uh, try to think now, I don't know. Clubs are doing that for a while. Yeah. All the comics get their own mic, but it'd be very funny for you to have a separate mic for everybody because of COVID. Then you,

go on the bus right after the show. It's like we're already around each other. No, I just do it like it's like my stuff's all set up there so it's ready to go and then I come out and just grab the microphone. I like the cord and then the other one's just easier to get wireless to go out. That way it's like, I don't know, it's like, I mean, when you have the mic stand it's like one thing because everybody puts it back in the mic stand. But once I kind of got rid of the mic stand and I was like, I like it on the stool now and I just kind of grab it and that's why. There's no really rhyme or reason to it.

And I try to think if we look off to the right. So we looked off to the right, which would be his. So it'd be stage left, right? It's stage left. It's stage. It's from the performer's perspective. Yeah. So if he was looking off to the right, we'd look that way.

Trying to think what show he would be at. I mean, usually there's some people standing over there. You know what? I wonder if he was at the Chicago show because we have a clock that's up there in front of the monitor, and so we have it running so everybody kind of knows what time they're at. And it'll just be like a stop clock, like stop one. And so it fell. And so what might have been they were looking because if Travis, the tour manager, was over there, sometimes you've got to look to be like,

hey, are you going to come get this? Or maybe someone's trying to signal you for something. And sometimes you might just look. I don't know. You can't just look. If you hear something that can make you look over there, I don't think there's really no reason. It's not like there's a big reason for any of that. Some guy calling in your jokes like a sideline coach. Yeah. Just bring the –

Leanne's not doing meet and greets right now. Again, the venues, they don't usually want her to because of COVID. So are you doing meet and greets? Some. I have not done. We kind of just stopped doing them. I was doing them. Again, I was. You were all in? Yeah.

But after the show, outside, this group of people came up, saw me first, and said, love the show. And I was talking to them, and I said, you want to get a picture? And they said, sure. And they said, we're going to leave our mask on, if that's OK. And I was like, yeah, sure. I thought, all right, they're being very careful, which I respect. And we take a picture. Then Leanne comes out, and they see her and freak out and everything. And they're like, can we get a picture? And she says, sure. They all take their mask off. Yeah.

That's great. It's like basically just like it's not worth the risk for this guy. We're going to delete it as soon as he leaves anyway. Yeah. We're going to leave. They've been great. Do you mind putting yours on? I did. We just did this show this weekend. We didn't have...

This was, we have, we didn't have meet and greets. I've had some, so I did stop like doing them just cause I know some people asked, not a ton, but it was like, they're just, it became, it was just too much is the, is the main reason. It's not that I, we would, we would, we were doing two shows. A lot of places, the meet and greet could, would take 30, 45 minutes in between each show.

It was just, and I was doing them and it just ends up being like, it's a lot of time and it ends up being, it gets pretty hard to try to do. So I still try to, I would try to meet people. Sometimes you see people and it's great to get pictures or obviously I'll, I'll try, you know, whatever we can, but yeah, it gets hard. We still have some coming up though.

Uh, and some of the, like, it was only like the, it was like a couple of shows left, I think, where it was before we kind of stopped doing them. And how do people learn of those? Is it just on the website? Like when you buy tickets? Yeah.

Yeah, and you can meet me now if you want me to. You go buy a meet and greet ticket. No, we get a lot of emails from people asking how to do meet and greets. I don't know. You just buy it on, yeah, I think you buy it on their website. But I don't even know if there'll be tickets for a sale that are meet and greets anymore. Gotcha. Because there are already tickets that were already announced from like COVID, before COVID. So I'm still making up some COVID shows. So those shows that I'm making up, some of those still would have meet and greets because we were doing them back then.

But now, any newer shows that went on sale and the ones that we're doing currently, we're not doing meet and greets. But yeah, there is a good chance I might buy tickets sometime and I would get to meet and greet just to see you. Yeah. Next. Next. Keep it ruined. Put your mask on, sir. Mike Marcia. Mike Marcia. M-A-R-C-I-A? I'd say Marcia. I'd say Marcia. Marcia? Mike Marcia? Maybe. No.

Marcia. There's no way. Marcia? I tell you, I would spell it. Huh? I've seen Marcia spelled that way. M-A-R-C-I-A. I don't think you ever have. Well, one of the main characters of Succession's name is Marcia. That's how it's spelled. Well, how would you know how she spells her name? I watch it with subtitles sometimes. Oh, really? When he's driving. Yeah. And she spells it like that, and her name's Marcia? Mm-hmm. I thought that's how you spelled Marcia.

Maybe it's a... I mean, I think it's Marcia for her last name. For last name. Marcia. Marcia, Marcia, Marcia. I now... Okay. I now understand why this show is considered an informational podcast. I've never had many cavities, but at my last checkup, my dentist told me I had 12. I didn't understand it for the last six months until last week's episode. Since working from home, I started eating Sour Patch Kids pretty consistently. Apparently, it may have changed pH levels in my mouth. Thank you.

Thank you for the heads up. There you go. Marsha Brady, M-A-R-C-I-A. There you go. I feel like it's a first, last name thing, though. I'll stick with that. Maybe. Maybe.

I like to think it's a couple that share an account. Mike and Marsha. Oh, Mike and Marsha. Yeah, that's cool. A lot of people do that. So Mike and Marsha wrote in. Yeah. They both have 12 cavities. They both went through the same experience. 12 cavities is a lot, right? Yeah. 12 is insane. Yeah. I hate sour patch kids. I don't think I've had them. I don't think I have them. It's because the Undertaker's. Yeah. Because he's my dentist. Yeah. Aaron Thumb. Thumb. Hello, folks. Dentist here. Ooh.

Well, I do agree with Kim Dunlap, the dental hygienist from last week, that Sour Patch Kids cause pH imbalances that can cause decay. It is my professional opinion that a life without Sour Patch Kids is not a life worth living. Last week, I pulled a tooth, told the patient to lay off the sweets, and then sat in my office and ate a handful of Sour Patch Kids. Just make sure to floss and brush, preferably not with cortisone.

That should be your guest. Yeah. I know. He's like, fine. I just, my teeth fall out. He's like, you're good, man. It was worth it, right? Yeah. He's like, yeah, you guys, I wouldn't even worry about it. Um,

Channel Zero, Nate, Batwing, and Aaron. I'm turning 40 at the end of the month and currently weigh in at 196 pounds. You've inspired me to join the challenge to hit 165. I always need something to focus on, and there's a Tough Mudder in Massachusetts the same weekend as your show in June. Let's go, folks. He's going to do the Tough Mudder, and then he's going to try to get on Channel Zero.

Channel zero. If we see him out after it, channel zero. And he's like, channel, oh, zero, four. Oh, you were trying to gain. You were trying to get to 200. You were the opposite. I think I weighed myself today. I was 180-something.

I'm floating. I haven't even really started yet. Have you already started? What have you been doing, Brian? I wanted to ask about your routine. I'm down to 168 right now. Yeah. That's because you probably got some disease. You got something wrong with him. Yeah, diseases don't count. No. Y'all do not say that. You got to lose it the old-fashioned way. No. Whatever, by any means necessary. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

You're going to stroke off 40 pounds. No, I haven't started yet either. I've probably gained a couple. Yeah, I've been just, you know, I'll get there. But we're weighing in at the end of the month, right? I mean, I had a five-pound lead on you anyway, so I thought I could coast for a while. Yeah, but I went down. I mean, now I'm on the road, so it's like once you're on the road, you're just, I can't eat. You're not eating as much. But just because you're a go, I'll eat like during the day and then.

I mean, your meals go down to maybe one or two. I probably eat two a day. I'll eat a bunch of junk, but it's like I'm only eating junk. So it's like that's where my meal comes from. So it's not eating and eating junk. Just only eating junk. And then that makes you tone up a little bit. It doesn't get down to 165.

Austin Thomas. My wife got us tickets to see Nate in Boise in February. She has never been into stand-up, so she hasn't heard any of Nate's stuff. Do you think I should educate her with some of Nate's old material or just let her go in blind? You know, it's up to you. I...

I don't know. I have people still come to the show and they're like, especially when I was in Vegas, there's still people that come to law shows. They're like, we didn't really know who you were. And we came. And they said they like it. It's fun to get to perform for someone that doesn't know. You've got to win them over. Your previous hour, you had some references to a previous hour. But this one, you don't think you really have. No. Not the hour I'm doing now. Yeah. No. And the last one.

Oh, okay. Yeah, the last one I did in New York. Oh, okay. That was the time before, I guess. It was the stand-ups. Yeah. And the Tennessee Kid I referenced, the couple of old jokes. So if you watch those, watch those two first. I mean, there is a chance your wife watches and is like, it's not for me. What if she doesn't even want to go? Then you get to bring a friend. That's true. Could be better. Maybe she doesn't let you go. She's like, you can't be watching this stuff. It's a waste of time.

Yeah, so do whatever you, I don't know, that's no real answer, but let her come in blind, you know? Yeah. We're winner over. Thomas Barbada, my son is 10 and has written First Joke. His first joke. His first joke. I think I left up his. Just his first space? Or maybe he left it out, but it's specific. My son is 10 and he has written his first joke.

He wants some professional feedback. My little, here's the joke. My little brother wants to be a standup comedian, but he's kind of lazy. He's more of a sit down comedian. Pretty good. That's not bad. It's pretty good. It's not bad. No, it's a, it's a good joke. Little brother's standup comedian is a little lazy. More of a sit down comedian. Yeah. I think that's good. Not a lot of fat. No, I don't think you can take anything out of it. My little brother wants to be a standup comedian, but he's kind of lazy. So he's more of a sit down comedian. Get a little laugh there. Um,

Yeah, no. That's how you write a joke. There you go. He's on his way. And that's how comics respond to it. They go, welcome to the show, Thomas. We don't laugh. We go, yeah, no, that's good. That is a good joke. We're all dead inside. No. I have this weekend, I have this bit I've been doing for a while about Jack Link's beef jerky. You've heard it. It's now like a five-minute chunk.

And I got it. I mean, it really did the best it's ever done this weekend. I was proud of it. And I get off stage, and this guy comes up to me and goes...

man, I love that Jack Link's beef jerky. And I go, oh, thanks, dude. And he's like, yeah, man. I mean, I always keep some in my car. Like I eat it all the time. He would just talk to me about the beef jerky. I'm going, oh, thank you, man. I've been working on it. And he's like, dude, I eat it every day, man. We talked for five minutes about beef jerky and then he walked away. It gets my art. Never mentioned the joke. No. Yeah. That'd been great if he didn't even know you did.

He just assumed this guy likes me jerky. He's like a fellow jerky boy. Zach Deaton. I was wondering why comedians rarely list their openers for tour dates. I assume it may be because they don't know when posting the dates or maybe they use local comedians sometimes. Yeah, I mean, sometimes you don't know for sure and you mix it up a lot.

I guess you could put it on the website. I don't know. Well, ask somebody who opens for people. I think people don't care. That's a lot of it. A lot of it is like, yeah.

I don't know. That's not that people don't care. I think I'm hoping people like when they come see me, it's like, you know, cause I'm bringing a lot of comics from that I started with and all that kind of stuff. And so people find out, I mean, I, you know, when I opened for Chris Rock, I mean, I saw a lot of people come to shows and that's where they saw me. And, uh, but it's like, that's the kind of thing, like you find out about them. Uh, I would, I would think the one thing that I want to try to do is like be able to like put, like I said, if we ever get video on some of these screens, a bit of put like,

whoever the opener is is like their social media and stuff like that for people to follow you know people got to remember their names and usually i try to post like a you know like i'll post something maybe today like you know for the weekend yeah thanks for blah blah and list the two comics that came out with me and that's what you do so some of it's like you're like i'm about you can't you already got a lot and then you're also going to be like well i can't i gotta i'm not it's not my job to sell

Do I have to write y'all two down now? Make sure they know? I knew that's where this was going. This guy asked the question and somehow puts it back on us. It's going to be, do you tell them to ask it? Well. I'm not trying to sell less tickets, dude. Yeah. If I can't get you to come on my own, then I mean, I hope. Well, who's the Oprah's? I don't think that's ever been. Way to go or not. Because I don't know.

Alexis Alexis Alexis Alexis I think like a le X is a le X is Alexis Alexis very very went to the Cincinnati show waited in the line wrapped around the block everyone was super excited to see the show group came to us in line and thought my husband was Nate waiting in line photo include that's not it did you send this to me that I don't know I did I did

Yeah, Cincinnati was a great show. They were all great. There he is. Oh, there you go. All right. Just out there. I'll be great. I'll wait my own line. I remember first, you would have to. I remember Punchline in San Francisco.

once uh it was like sold out and like to go in there's only really one way to get in and uh so i just walked up and there's no one really to like you know it's like sometimes you just feel awkward to like cut and so you just kind of stand in your own line and just wait till you're you're like i'm on the show and then you just kind of go in with them you know i've actually done that yeah i've done that even zany's yeah front door

And you're just like, I'll just wait. Yeah. Till, yeah. Yeah, it's just easier. Instead of drawing big attention to yourself. What I like to do sometimes if I get to open for somebody at a theater is after my set, I get off stage and I exit the back and I try to get through the theater without any credentials. Yeah. And just try to talk my way into. And I can do it. Wow. Yeah.

It's a fun, it's like, I'm on the show. And they go, we don't know who you are. And I just try to get through that way. It's a fun little game to try to, and most people don't care. I haven't run into a lot of problems. So just when the headliner's up, there's just commotion going on. And it's just, it's you screaming, do you know who I am?

being restrained in the lobby. I was just on stage. I was just on stage. Why would I do this? Do you think I'm just making this up? Why would I be a guy that just said, I was just on stage? Don't you think you could prove that? You just Google in your name. And then every, every show is like, Aaron, could you just stay back here or wear the thing? Yeah. You have to wear it. Uh,

I haven't heard. Sometimes you have to wear it. They won't let you in. Like, I don't think I've had trouble this time around, but I've had it plenty. I mean, I think one time in Chicago, like the Vic, the guy, I mean, I was like, I have to show my ID and then they had to go get somebody. And before he wouldn't let me back. Your ID wasn't enough? No. He had no idea who's on the show, I don't think. Yeah, I don't think he did. It didn't make sense that we wanted to come to the back door. I was like, but I'm on the show. So.

I know exactly in the alleyway right there on the side. Yeah. There's just some dude sitting right out there. Yeah. I know the exact spot. My guy didn't care at all when I was there last. I go, I'm on the show, dude. And he was like, no, all right, man. Well, it was Hannibal Buress came to that show and he got in.

And I was like, well, how did you get in? Like he, I was at my own show and they didn't even let me in. Hannibal, I'm like, Hannibal walked in like five people and they just let Hannibal in. And I was like, how did you get in? It was, yeah, this weekend was fun. We had, I was trying to think where we were at. We had a bunch of places. Lexington? Lexington, Kentucky was great. All of them are great. Yeah.

uh, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cincinnati was great. Chicago. And then, uh, Davenport, Iowa last night. Uh, Chicago is special cause we, that's where I started, you know, uh,

That's where I started comedy. I don't know. Sometimes people don't know that, but I did. I moved to Chicago. I'm sure everybody listening here, I've talked about it. I moved to Chicago first, me and Michael Clay, and we go there and we were doing it. I did comedy there for about a year and a half with Hannibal and Pete Holmes and Kumail Nanjiani. A lot of them were in the Chicago scene. T.J. Miller.

And so we, uh, we were, we were there. And so like going back to Chicago was like pretty special. And then, uh, after the show, we went to Jake Melnick's and I had, uh, Jim Roth. I did a comedy classical comedy college, uh,

And he still teaches a class. And that's a class I took in Chicago. He came to the show. Steve Berger, another buddy of mine that was in my comedy class when we first started, came to the show. It was really, really cool. And then, so Liz Embry and all her friends, Saul and Nicole. But they, I, but like they, it was like, it was neat to get back and see, you know, and I don't know, just like in Chicago. Then we went to Jake Melnick's, the restaurant I worked at.

And we went out there afterwards and hung out. And I hung out. We had a few people that we worked with that came up there. And we all just sat back in the back and just talked about working there. I mean, it was 20 years ago. It was 20 years ago to now. Exactly. Exactly.

2002 is when we started working there. And so 2022. Yeah. That's where you're working when all the, when the Steve Bartman stuff happened. Yeah. You're working at that restaurant. Did that come up at all in your trip to Chicago? Jen McDonough, who was there with us, Jen and Matt Peebles. And so Jen was, she was the one that's roommate was work there. So we talked about it there.

Because then she came and she goes, she was telling us like she didn't believe her at the beginning. I was like, oh, I go, well, Jen, I've been telling everybody this story. Like, I've believed you for 20 years. I've told everybody this story. But she, you know, we talked about the 30 for 30 and like when she watched that and, you know, because she went home and told her, I don't remember, like, you know, at the time, I don't remember, I guess, all the details, but she said she was there. You know, there's four phones. And when she got home, she was like, what?

why would he be you know and then she was like go look he has like a diet why is there a diet coke or something in the trash can like who would she's like I don't we don't drink that and then she's like I don't know you know and then but then she saw him on the 30 for 30 as her roommate wow and he like yeah so we talked about that for a second but it was like it was just fun to be back at like Jake's and like

I like going back to stuff. You know, when you go back and you're like, man, we were the first two people, me and Michael, first two people hired there. The same kind of moment you had at the Opry, right? Yeah. Being back there. Yeah, when you go there and you work. I mean, even, I mean, Opry's crazy just because you work. I worked at that music park. I don't think I thought I'd be able to play the Opry. Jake's, not that I even think you go play Chicago Theater, but

but it's crazy big i was there for to start this career yeah and uh we go we had one uh i had someone i met i won't say where because they're here like but backstage one night we'll say which night i don't i don't want this person to hear them making fun of them but they were they were uh held too much to drink and so we kept joking all weekend like it was this has nothing to do with i don't know it just we were doing as a running joke but it's very funny uh

He was like, because I don't drink, you know, and so he had too much to drink. So sometimes when someone doesn't drink and they're like, they had too much, they get kind of embarrassed about how much they've had, which I don't, you know, they're young. It's like, have fun. But he's like, he's like, you know, just kept asking about not drinking, but he would say it very loudly. And then he's like, well, he goes, you don't drink? He goes, what? Hey, he goes, hey. Then he would get close to me and he'd whisper and he'd go, hey, let me tweet me and you.

You don't drink? And they didn't whisper? And I'm like, well, you just yelled it. You just yelled it out loud. So we just... It was so funny. Yo, you sober? Hey, come here real fast. Hey, can I talk to you? Between me and you. Are you sober? I'm like, you just said it. Just yelling it to the room. So loud. You just yelled it. And now, hey, come here. Two seconds. Can I talk to you for a second? Hey, between me and you. I just like...

But it was, yeah, it was all, it was all, it was amazing. The Chicago theater just, it's huge. The Chicago sports fans boo you when you came out? No, because I said they didn't. No, no. Get him! No, uh,

They didn't. Everything was cool. The first show I walked out, I said I started there in Chicago. I feel like nobody really... They didn't care. It was funny because sometimes you're like, I don't know if people know. You think they know. They know. I don't know. I don't know if they put it together. I always thought they do. I said it first. I could have said it weird too, though.

I don't know. They probably didn't get what you were saying. Yeah, like I think I said it kind of, but it was like I said it and everybody's like, and you're like, and then you just get in your act. He came out and he was like, I used to live here and then I got successful. Yeah. And I left town. I didn't like that. Yeah. Yeah, they didn't, yeah, that's what I tell them. No, they're... Left you losers. I love Chicago. Chicago's the best. It's a fun, fun town. Yeah, where we all...

I was in Greensboro, North Carolina, and then Roanoke at the Berglund Theater, which I'd done with you. Yeah. Oh, you were just there, right? Was that recently you did it with Nate? No, that was a couple years ago. Okay. I was in Dubuque, Iowa, the comedy bar there. Perfect room. It's in a basement, low ceiling.

It was small. Second show, they had to add some seats. It was pretty cool. A lot of folks came out. A couple drove from Minnesota to come watch it. Pretty cool, man. Yeah. So I had a great weekend there with my buddy Joe Kelly. Yeah. Dubuque was Mike Vecchione. We were doing a sound check in Davenport. And Vecchione was like, he was just on the microphone just saying like,

What's up, Iowa City? Like, just not saying the right city, but it was like just kind of making a joke. And he goes, Dubuque. What's up, Dubuque? And then the sound guy got pretty mad at him. For calling it the wrong city? Yeah. Called him, used some words. And it got real weird. I mean, it was just us in there, and then it got real... We were like, oh, and then...

And then it was pretty great. I called it the wrong theater from the stage. Oh, yeah? Yeah. I was like. That's why we don't list openers. Can you imagine? The opener has the audacity not to know you're too busy to go, where are we? Does it matter? Yeah. I had the right city. I just called it the theater the wrong name.

And then they immediately, I could just tell by the look on people's face, like, what? And then I was like, oh, wait. And I'd said the theater from the night before. Yeah. So then I corrected it on stage, but. Make them feel special. Yeah. I mean, that's, so even as the opener, they're like, we don't even, he doesn't even. He doesn't care. If he's not bringing it, and if he doesn't care, I mean, I.

Leanne might come out in a recliner and just press play on her CD. Y'all can just listen to this. Sit down comedian. Sit down comedian. There you go. She's a sit down comedian. Sometimes you do, you got to remember where you're at. But sometimes you just don't say it. I usually don't. It was a brand new theater and I wanted to compliment how nice it was and then I called it the wrong thing. You can just say it's a very nice place. Well, I could have, yeah.

You know, their whole name. You had to do their whole name. For a while there, John, when I was opening for John Chris at some of these theaters, he had a little screen on stage with the name of, he said, put the name of the city up so I could see it. And people from the crowd would see it. They'd be like, you couldn't even remember what city we're in? Yeah. Be like, it's pretty easy to forget in the moment.

Yeah. I think if you're on a crazy run or something. When you're on a crazy run and you're in a different place every night, it definitely does happen where you then – you could then be like, where am I? Like, you won't remember where you were. I mean, this weekend, I was like, where was – I was – you know, and then you – because you just – you're gone. I'm leaving – you know, this is Monday. I'm leaving tomorrow for Wichita Wednesday. Like, so –

It's what you wear in Wichita. If you're watching this the day this comes out, I'm in Wichita, I think Wednesday night, Thursday night. But it's, you know, yeah, it is hard to remember like the run that you're on and like where it's sitting and stuff like that. And there's been times I've almost said, all right, thank you to whoever the city. And then sometimes you can be like, I mean, I just won't say it if I'm like, if I kind of like question a little bit in my head. But I mean, overall, you kind of know. But, you know.

But I definitely get how it can happen. Yeah. You know, if you had a comedy club and you do it, that's not good. You're there all weekend. The last night. The logo's right behind you. Where we at? Charlotte. Comedy zone. Oh.

I've been here four days. Yeah. Yeah. It's been a long four days. Yeah. So, well, we're out there. We're touring around. You went to the Field of Dreams. I did. Yeah. I figured, when am I going to be this close ever again to the Field of Dreams? It's in Dyersburg, Iowa. How close were you? 30 minutes away. Yeah. I don't think I'm ever going to be this close ever again. Probably. Probably.

Yeah. I mean, unless I'm back in Dubuque or something, because there's, it's just, it's a nothing little, I mean, not a nothing, but farms out there, it's a rural area. So we drove out and it's feels like negative four degrees. And I'm thinking, oh, there'll be some snow on the ground, but you know, it'd be cool to see the corn and see the field. And then there's just, here's the picture of what the field of dreams looks like right now.

It's just, it's just, I didn't know that corn went away. Oh, it does go away. The whole thing. I thought maybe the corn went away. But not the stalks? Yeah, like an apple tree. Like the apples go away, but the tree is still there.

It's all gone. It's just flat snow. We pulled up and there's a big sign that says close for the season. And Joe, who I was with, was like, what are they going to do? They're just going to tell us to leave. So we just went. We played catch on the Field of Dreams for a little bit. It's pretty cool. And so behind the poles would be where the corn would be.

Yeah, right around. You can see, yeah, those poles right there. That's kind of the outfield line. Yeah. And any other time of year, there'd be corn stalks out there, and you'd get the full effect of it. But it was just snow, like a foot of snow. Yeah. And we're just wading through it. But pretty cool. And you see in the background, that's where they built that MLB stadium where they played the game last year.

Yeah. I can't access it now because it's just snow out there, but. Oh, and all the corn's gone out there too. Yeah, there's just nothing out there. Is corn grow that quick? I,

I guess so. That's what I was thinking because Sonny said that they were going to play there this year. Yeah. Assuming the lockout ends. So I guess they got to plan it. Just comes up. Yeah, and I guess in the spring it'll be up. Yeah. You know, it must grow super fast. But it must be a second half of the season game, I'm guessing. Yeah, it's in August, I think. Yeah. Yeah. But I felt so dumb. I thought there'd be, I was able to take a video of me walking through the corn. Yeah. It's just flat out there.

With all the snow. Yeah. That's something you would say, and then people are like, well, they would think you're dumb for not knowing that. For sure. Yeah. Why did you go out there? That's why sometimes maybe it's good to ask, you know? Well, I asked the host who was with us. I go, we're going to go to the Field of Dreams. He's like, really?

He goes, yeah, we'll go check it out. He's like, all right. Y'all have fun. I was like, you can come with if you want. He's like, I think I'm good, man. He just hung back and watched the games. He knew there was no corn. Yeah, he's from there. He understands. Yeah. I had no idea. You would have still gone, though, anyway, right? Yeah, I think so. Because I wanted to check it out. I guess if it's 30 minutes away. But I guess, yeah, but if you do go and there's no corn, there is no, you might as well just drive to any baseball field on the earth.

And it would be the same experience. That house is there, right? The house is there. Yeah, the house is right there around the corner. You didn't take a picture of that? There's no picture of the house? No. What? You took a picture of nothing? I thought that picture of you sitting on the bleachers. Yeah, I have a picture of me in front of those bleachers. But that was all closed off. You can rent that out as an Airbnb. Oh, really? For like 700 bucks. Yeah.

And you can stay there and then can you have access to the field? You can also buy exclusive access to the field. Yeah. For an additional cost. So here's a picture of me on those bleachers. Okay. Where James Earl Jones delivered his famous speech. Did someone live there?

I don't think somebody lives in there full time, but it's kind of a museum now where you can pay for a tour. But for like 700 bucks, you can rent it out and stay in there for a night. And then go play. And then go play on the field. That'd be fun. That would be pretty cool. It'd be fun to do it with wooden bats and hear that sound and go play some, yeah, just play baseball all day. Go out there and play a bunch of games. Yeah, that's fun. Yeah. What would you, if you could go to any movie set, would it be Scream?

Yeah, you can go rent that. Scream 4 is coming out, which I'm pretty pumped out. Or it's out. Yeah. I'm pretty excited. Is it called Scream 4? I don't know, but it's called Scream. I think it's just called Scream. And I don't get that because there's already, like, how do you distinguish the two? It's been long enough. Yeah. The new one. The new one. That's what you call it. I'm very excited about it. That's new. I'll watch that.

See how that goes. But you would see The Matrix. I didn't. And it just... But I mean, why didn't you go see Screen? We didn't go see Matrix. I saw Matrix when it came out. Oh, I thought you meant this weekend. No, no. We went, me, my buddy Kenny, and Travis, and we went, and it was like at 10.30 at night. Yeah, that's pretty late. It was like, it's not in the lateness, but it was like, you know, I was kind of like, all right, yeah, I'll go see it. Like, you know, I went through and watched them all. And then I just, which people I don't think like this Matrix.

But I didn't. But I was like, I don't know. I could go watch it now. And I'd be like, yeah, I don't remember. It's on HBO Max. Oh, yeah. I'm not going to. But I could. Yeah. But the Scream, I could go watch Scream. Yeah. I'm excited about Scream. That's new. That's something. What would yours be, Brian? You can go to a set. Psycho. Norman Bates.

I don't know. Me would be more TV. Like I'd like to go to where Breaking Bad, like that Los Polos, the restaurant. I've been, I've done all that. You have? When I did, you can do your own tour when you go out there. You can put it on your phone and you just drive to the spot. I drove up to Walter White's house.

Like, you see it. There's a lady sitting out front. I parked, like, where What's-His-Face would park and watch the house. Oh, Mike. Mike. We'd park all the way up there. You kind of stop there because there's a lady sitting out there, and they don't like it. And it's, like, they have a big fence. They put, like, I mean, I think these people will, like, regret it.

I don't know if they regret it, but maybe. Close. They probably regret it. But the people, they were like, when they were doing it, people, they would throw pizzas up there on their house and stuff like that. And then they had to put, she has like a fence. She was sitting in her yard and

staring and i mean when i and then enough that made me uncomfortable that i didn't like you get any closer to no i took a picture but it was like kind of as i i think i did it from far away and then maybe when i drove i made a left and drove by because it was you know like i mean she's just sitting there and they're staring at you and they're not you know they're not happy yeah and so uh but i saw that i saw the pinkman's house

And then you can, but you can just go, I think they were shooting better calls. They're shooting something there. Uh, but you can kind of just go and like, it just, you can look at Google maps and there's a way to put it up and it puts like where, I mean, every scene from breaking bad, you just kind of can drive to each one where they went to. Is that restaurant a real place that can go eat? Uh, the, uh,

You know, the Sal's, his law thing. Saul? Saul. His office? Yeah. That's a bar. But they have the door from Breaking Bad. Huh. So, yeah, did I go? I don't know if I went there and ate. Is that real? It's not a real restaurant. No. No, but the...

It's, yeah, Twister's. This is what I've... It's some other... Oh. Yeah. There's the building. Yeah, I don't think I saw that. But you see, like, the house. I drove by the house where that girl dies with Jesse Pinkman. Oh, yeah. Their apartment's there. Yeah, that apartment. I drove by that. So I did, yeah, the...

The downtown where they're going to meet at the Civic Center. That stuff's right down the middle of the open, but you go down there and see that. Yeah, it was kind of new. That's cool. That one actually was – I really liked. And it was funny. You can show up on your Google Maps, and it ended up staying on there forever. I don't know why, but it just stayed there. So anytime I would be Googling something, if you zoomed out, you could always see. I would have the locations of all that on there. Yeah, you hit save on them. There was this old radio guy named Man Cowell.

you ever have yeah so i don't know he's not old i don't know he might but he was uh he was in chicago actually and he and so i went on man count supposedly people would have trouble going on man count like there's there's a lot of issues with comics going on and he would just talk he's very fast i remember the first time i did it he talks to you you're like i was about to call into the radio show and uh

This was years ago. And he'll just be talking like this. He'll be like, yeah, we went over there. He's like, I don't know. He's like, it's been Chicago. It's snowing everywhere. I got a neighbor. I got to see you on the phone. Hey, you doing stand-up comedy? I'm like, yeah, I'm doing it. I've been to World vs. A&E. He goes, all right. All right, back off. And then you just would be off the air. And you're like, what happened? You don't even know what happened.

And so I went in and I was talking to him and it was right after I did this, did that tour. And like, so I think doing, when you do man cow show, it's like, you gotta like, you're trying to like get in with this guy. So, cause it can go, if you don't get along with him and if it gets wrong, like I think Patrice,

Maybe Bill Burr got in a fight with this guy or Patrice got in a fight. There was comics. Some comics would go great. Some comics would actually get into pretty big fights with him. But I brought up the Breaking Bad thing, and he loved Breaking Bad, and we just talked about that. And you struck up a relationship from that. Yeah, yeah. I haven't done a show. I don't know what he's doing now. But yeah, it was – but I remember that. It was right after I went. I was like, I want to break bad. And then he liked that.

So he just kept asking me questions about that. Yeah. Where's he based out of? Chicago. He was in Chicago. Okay. And then, so I don't know if he's, if he's gone or if he's still there, you know, whatnot.

I did an interview this week. Not quite man cow. Big Joe on the go. Oh, yeah. Local guy. And Ruth had to go to the ER in the middle of the night. Her blood pressure skyrocketed. We were pretty concerned. We go to the ER. She's fine. Everything's good. But we were still there when I had to go do the hit. So I went outside. Who calls it the hit? Is that a TV term? Yeah, I don't like it. I don't think I've heard it more.

I think I know it from working in television. Yeah, what is it? It's just the time you're on. You called it the hit. We hit you at 7.52.

So you say I had to go do the hit. It's very inside. I've seen people on Twitter doing it and stuff, and it's very inside. I don't know what it is. I don't even think about it. Oh, yeah. I don't care for it. You said it's so casual just now. I think it's like the casualness of the way people say it. Yeah. And it's people on TV, they go, you see this hit, and you're like, what are you? It just sounds arrogant. Mm-hmm. Like, uh...

You know, I've heard hit piece. Like, you know, someone writes a hit. Yeah. That's like a mean piece. Yeah. But then you go do... Yeah. All right. Well, I had to go do the interview. There you go. There you go. And I had to go to the parking lot of the hospital and do it. And there's just construction workers drilling behind me. And I mean, this is...

It's not just radio. It's like streaming service. And then Ruth being discharged. So you're on. I'm on. You can watch me. And I see Ruth being discharged, walking out. And it was just. Did you get the video of it?

yeah, I mean, there is video of it. Um, that's not it. No, yeah. Yeah. Your interview, does she get in the car? You see a really quick, just get in the car behind me on there. It's, uh, mornings on main street. I think it's what it is if you want to pull it up, but it's, uh, it was just so funny. And,

just the craziness of it all and she just sat in the car until i finished it yeah i had a tag i don't think you can see it it said visitor triage that i was wearing while i was doing it yeah but what's triage sounds so bad i know triage what does triage mean i don't know three it's third time here i hear triage i think like uh in a battle yeah yeah and you're

wrapping up a wound. Yeah. It sounds that immediate, that much of a... You're like, I went to the triage. You're like, oh my gosh. Yeah, what happened? Yeah. Now I got an ant bite. Yeah. So then a few hours later, we go to our weekly doctor's visit with the high-risk...

doctor that we go to and we always sit at the same place a lot of specialists in your life like that was my third also earlier before that I went to the sleep doctor yeah I like every doctor you go to you're like he's like I specialize in it's

You walk in, it's the VIP. You would be going to all the VIP areas of doctors where it's like, this guy's good. Yeah. I went to the sleep doctor. We had to drive separately because I had to go to that one first. I was the only person in there under 70. But...

It's time for my checkup for my CPAP. And I was like, Aaron feels great when he wears his. Tristan, everybody says they feel great. I'm still tired when I wear mine, so I got to do a new sleep stuff. Does everybody want to talk about their wearing it? I mean, did they? You're the only one here who does it. I know, but I just, I don't know if everybody was like, just like openly like, yeah, I hope to, you know. I think they assumed. Yeah. Yeah. I guarantee you he didn't want to ever bring up that he sleeps with his sleep. We've talked about it before. I don't know.

have we remember we were talking about c-pap being chris brown's opener with shay yeah yeah but that was we were making fun of it been a while yeah him didn't sleep c-pap machine he talks about it but just to bring in everybody else it's kind of like because you know i'll talk about aaron you sleep with one right you have a big problem with that uh

I just thought people assumed he did. Yeah. So then we get to this high-risk doctor place, and there's police cars there. I'm like, what's going on? And a car had ran into the building, crashed into the building, into the corner where we sit every week when we go. So if we were there just a few minutes earlier, there's the outside of it where it crashed. And that's the corner we always go to. Man.

And then I think the other one's where we sit inside, right over there in that corner. That's like your spot? That's our spot. We always go over there because of COVID. We get over there just where it's safe and then not anymore.

They said it was like a bomb went off in there. Oh, man. Was there a mural of Nate on the other side? Yeah. That would have been great. Did y'all go switch seats now? Yeah, we have no choice. But you think you're staying, you know? Like, when they get it fixed, I'll go back over there? Well, then they'll put chairs back over there. Yeah. Will I go back? Yeah, like, would they just leave it and go, let's just do a table over there now? You know, it's kind of like...

Did the person say why they drew it like they just... I think it was a kid. I mean, two people got hurt. Oh. They had to take them to the hospital. I think they're fine. They had to go to the triage? Were y'all not at the triage? No, this is different. This is different. This is doctor's appointment number three. Oh, yeah. See, this is the problem with specialists. They got hurt in a doctor's waiting room and they had to go somewhere else. Yeah. He goes, I don't do this. Yeah. I can do a lot.

I do babies, but not adults. But they did get transported. I think they're fine, but they took them to the hospital. Wow. Wow. It's somebody that hit the gas, I think, instead of the brake. See, this is something you can't think about. Every time you go to a restaurant or somewhere public where you have to sit down, you can't think...

Someone can drive a car through here because that's pretty much everywhere. Yeah. I mean, that can happen everywhere. Everywhere. Well, you always think, what are the odds? And your odds just got higher because we now know someone that sits in those two chairs. And we were all sitting in the green room if that dump truck. Yeah. So it's two places. Two places that we have, there's ties to, if someone's going like, I got to, we walk into a room and they're going, oh, we're just selling, we're telling people.

you know, cars driving through wall stories. It's crazy that we can be like, well, I'll wait, I'll wait my turn. Most people should be like, I got nothing. And we're like, oh, I got a couple. I could tell you. Here's my first one. Yeah. When it comes back around, I'll tell you the second one. Yeah. Yeah. That's a, yeah, that's crazy. That's fun though. It's probably the most excitement they've seen there in a while. Yep. I would imagine, you know, don't you think they get it? You know, it's like, you're like, phew.

Oh yeah, they were all pretty shaken up. And the first thing they do when you walk in is take the pregnant lady's blood pressure. And they said that day, they're like, we're not even going to do it. There you go. Why? Because everyone's so stressed. They're like, I mean, after you get there, they did it. Like they took Roos, but they said everyone who was there when it happened, they're like, we're not going to take your blood pressure. I'm going to need you to answer a question for me, Brian. Don't make fun of me. What is blood pressure? What do you mean? I don't know. That's something you hear. I don't really know what that means.

Yeah, I don't know. Well, it's how much the heart's pumping the blood. And I don't know the specifics, but I know what the numbers are. And 120 over 80 is average. Okay, I knew that, but I don't know what that means. So when you just said they don't even bother checking blood pressure because everyone's stressed out. Because your heart would be pumping a lot more. Yeah, so it would be like really high.

Your blood pressure. Okay. Travis, my tour manager, his blood pressure was just because he doesn't eat good. But his was so high, he had to Google it. And then Google was like, it's not good. The internet was like, you don't need to be here. You need to be talking to someone. Go to a specialist. Yeah, go to a specialist. Yeah, Ruth has to take hers every morning, every night, and keep track of it and make sure it's not going too high. I think Ruth appreciates, too, getting told all her information on everywhere. Yeah.

We just blab out, you know. She didn't care. Huh? We're sharing what we do. We are sharing, but there's just some, I mean, you could just say, I don't even know the point of the story to say that Ruth has to take it. Like, I don't even know what it helps to do.

I'm trying to explain to him about blood pressure and how it's important. But I don't think you have to go, you know, for instance, my wife on the older side and she takes it every, like, I just don't know. It's because she's pregnant. Huh? It's because she's pregnant. Okay. Yeah, I know. But I'm just, it's just funny. I don't think it, when you just, somebody goes, what's your blood pressure? Well, let me, I'll just tell a lot of people on the radio show about it. By the way, Aaron, how's that rash doing? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Aaron, you still scared of heights? I know you had trouble coming upstairs last week. Is that? I am scared of heights. You are? Oh, yeah. Big time. Would you ride a roller coaster? I've ridden one before. Only one? I've only done one. Why? I'm scared of them. Yeah? I think it's a pretty rational fear. Yeah. You know?

But you don't ever, what would you ride? I rode a wooden roller coaster because I knew it wouldn't have a flip. Yeah. I don't think I'm ready for a flip. Yeah. But I've done one. Company work trip, Holiday World. Oh, yeah. In Santa Claus, Indiana. I did one roller coaster. Yeah. And you're sitting no more? I think I'm done. I don't think, I don't need this. You didn't like it? I don't need this in my life. My blood pressure went up so high. It probably did. Yeah, I'm sure it did. Yeah. You don't go up in tall buildings? If I can avoid it, you know.

There's that building in New York. When I was in New York, they got a building that's just so tall. And I think people live up there. And it gets so skinny. Oh, yeah. It's so tall. I mean, it's bigger than the Empire State Building, I think. It is. Yeah, and you're like, I don't know if I could live up there. Like, it's the view you're in that building. It's like, I don't know if I could. It's that. You know, it's like one thing to be...

Like if you go there and see the apartment, you're like, man, that was kind of crazy. But like to every day you're trying to go to bed, just watching TV. And you're like, I am a hundred and something stories up in the air. Like, and the buildings get small. Like you, it just seems, it seems crazy. Yeah. We're not supposed to be up there. And they're like the views are the, you know, you're like, I don't, are the views even you're above everything. It would be cloudy up there. Cause you couldn't see. I don't know. It'd be interesting. Yeah.

Yeah. It's too high to have a good view. It's like a certain point is I need to lower it down to get a better view. Well, you just wake up in bed. You just would see, I don't know, maybe that's a great view. You don't see buildings. You just see nothing. I mean, you're just so high. Maybe, you know. I've stayed in hotels where you're on a high floor and you're like, eh, it's a little. Oh, yeah. Like if you're balcony, you're like, I don't love it. Not loving it. I just stayed at one in Phoenix recently, pretty high up.

Maybe like the 17th or 18th floor. Not crazy high, but high. Yeah. And the elevator was a clear elevator facing outside. Sheridan. Was it a Sheridan? No. Lazy dude. No, it was a, I don't remember, but it was, you were just looking and it was pretty scary, dude. I just, I looked the other way. Yeah. I did that. Well, the Willis tower in Chicago where you walk out on the glass, I couldn't do it. I couldn't make my legs.

go out there on it. Yeah. It's just, I like, but you went up there to do it. Yeah. And I like couldn't make my legs go. They just refused. And you just turned around. Yeah. I just looked at it like that. I think I may put one foot on it. Yeah. And then people behind you, where are people waiting to go? Yeah. I had to water my plant first. Yeah. Yeah. Go out there. Go. They kicked me. They kicked you out there. Get out there.

What, so let's do, so we're, we started this year. We have, we have like a somewhat different formula that we're thinking about doing this podcast. So I kind of towards the end of it, we were talking about topics and stuff. You know, we always had topics, but I kind of was like, I don't know. The universal one was kind of like, what are we doing? Like, you know, we have a whole podcast.

And I thought we still could talk about, I still like talking about topics, but it's like we could, it doesn't have to be like the whole episode, you know, cause we always didn't talk about a lot of stuff. Yeah. So it's like making it more like that. I mean, I think this one's, you know, there's been moments of this one where it's felt like it's almost died. What moments were those? I mean, multiple. At one point I just watching both y'all just talk about like, it's like two old women at the grocery store. Like,

Yeah, yeah, my son. I'm from Vietnam. And then you're like, that was 80 years ago. And then he's, she has no idea. She was the one in Vietnam. She doesn't even know. That's what it felt like watching the LTV. It's just high level doctor after high level. Every doctor visit, you have the world falling apart. We're hearing from Bates. Yeah.

He's got a lot of problems. He does. Hey, I'm figuring it out, dude. He's lost all that weight, and you still have to do sleep. Why do you have to do a CPAP machine? Does everybody have to do it? You'll have to do it soon. No. No, not everybody. Do you ever feel bad in the morning? Like, I don't know. Like, what do you mean? Like, sometimes you wake up sore throat. Sometimes you wake up out of breath. Do you ever wake up with a headache? No. Do you ever feel like you didn't get sleep?

No, you're fine. I mean, like, you know, if I don't sleep, like, less than on the bus. Do you snore?

I think so. I don't think all the time, but I think I have a little bit more than I used to. Okay. So it doesn't sound like it's a problem. Yeah. It's not like everybody's talking about how much you're snoring. No. Okay. Then I think you're fine. Yeah. It was a thing with me. It was embarrassing. Yeah. It was people in other rooms would hear it. Oh, yeah. Snoring. Yeah. Real problem. Yeah. That's when I knew I should probably get that checked out. And do you have to bring it everywhere? I bring it everywhere. Even so in a hotel, could people hear you in another room? If I was snoring? Yes. Yes.

Yeah. I did a road trip with a comedian friend and he heard it in the other room. That's how it was. Different floors. Different hotel. Yeah. Yeah. No, it was, it was loud. Yeah. And I, and I have to share a room with somebody. You have to explain them, you know, Hey, this is going to be an issue. I'm sorry. You sit down on the bed across from you go, Hey, let me talk to you real fast.

Yeah.

Yeah, essentially. And the embarrassment of breaking out a CPAP machine is so much less than what the snoring was. Yeah. I go, I don't even care. This is better for everybody. Google, I mean, you do that like goggle tightening where you go, like it just, you know, like you just, you tighten them up. Yeah. And you're like. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

shove off i'm not even embarrassed about it i'm proud of it huh you're proud of it i wear it nice and proud yeah well i'm not yeah i'm not saying that you're embarrassed by it you talk about it a lot yeah uh it's my child yeah yeah a little pappy yeah no i have no problem you know just i don't know i used to take it on the road some with you um but then once we i mean you're you bring it on the bus you're diehard

Yeah. It's not like I just love using it. Yeah. I need to use it. You should be using it too. Aaron, you're a big guy. You have to do it more than most. Aaron, go ahead with the answer to that. You should be doing it on those, man. Well. I mean, do you feel different when you don't use it? No, that's the thing. That's why I went. Oh. Okay. Maybe I don't need this anymore. Well, or why isn't it working? Oh, so you just feel bad always. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

I still wake up tired. You need a little CPAP life machine. You need a tube. You just need to walk around with those oxygen tanks. You're going to just have one of those. Bubble boy. Yeah. I mean, once in a lifetime doctor after once in a lifetime doctor. It's a guy that's like, are you the guy that just does this one thing? Yeah, we're all going in to see breakfast. Yeah.

I wonder if you are that specialist of a doctor. It's like, do you go, do you start out going to that? You're like, I want to be this one other thing, or does it just lead you that way? And you're like, I'm just a, you know. I don't know. I don't think you pick a specialty right away, right? I mean, you take regular medical school. Yeah. And then you branch off. Into like the real. The real stuff. The real stuff. Right. You're not just a triage guy. Yeah. So we were...

So we're talking about like doing this. This is the first one. We're kind of doing it this way. So then we just have some random topics and stuff. So, you know, just trying to talk about some random stuff. We'll see. I think we still have topics to talk about too. It's like just, I don't know, just, you know, seeing what happens. All right. You know? Yeah. So what's what? Well, we have one video. You have the video of the kid from last year during the meet and greet I had.

It was cool to meet this kid. He could, he, any episode you could just, uh, you could tell him, pick a number and he could tell you what it was. It's pretty impressive. Yeah. Eli. Eli. Yeah, y'all can all do it. So, so Eli listens to the podcast every night and he's seen multiple, or listened to them multiple times. So if you ask him the number of the episode, he can give you the topic. And if you tell him the topic, he can give you the number. So for example, what's number two?

It's called the second episode. Topics. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Number 16. 16 is hoaxes. Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania 69. Oh, man. Yeah, it's crazy. So he would just do it. I mean, he could do anything and which we could be messing him up now that we're doing. I know. Yes. We're making his life a lot harder. Great.

You're like, can I go do it? We might be back to topics. I don't, you know, I mean, after feeling how this one's going, I don't know if this one's been. We haven't even started yet. We haven't even got started. It's just been a lot of like, so what's, how's it going? My son's been out today. Snowed a lot. Talked about CPAP machines. I mean, just. That's going to be one of the parts of the title. CPAP machines? Yeah, not really. When did they invent CPAP machines? I think it's. What is it to help you breathe? Fairly regularly.

Yeah, it keeps... You have to sleep on your back? Mm-hmm. I mean, it certainly helps. You can't sleep on your front, that's for sure. You can't sleep on your side. I sleep on my side. Yeah, you can sleep on your side. You can't sleep face down, that's for sure. Can't get air from anything. And you just picture like... 1980, it got invented. Yeah. So first few years of Brian's life were pretty rough. I mean, so there's no, when you do it, is there a cure? No. No. No.

So you're just born with this or not born with this? No, no, no. Well, I mean, you could lose weight and that could help. Oh, there we go. So there is a cure. I thought you meant like, does the machine cure you? No, but I mean, is there... Like, how do you... If you're like... I don't want to... So I found that as I lost weight, the effects are...

The effects of me not using it are less than they were. Yeah. Like I can accidentally fall asleep on the couch or something now, and my day's not ruined. Yeah. Where it used to be. Oh, wow. So it's a little better, but I think it's weight-related, and there's also a genetic component to it. Yeah. Like Brian has, and Brian's not in, you know. I'm in great shape. He's held on by Band-Aids. Yeah.

It's just held together. Yeah. I'm looking at some of these. You have Taco Bell. What do they have? So Taco Bell started a membership service. $10 a month. You can get one free taco a day. That's my new plan at fitness. Yeah, I know. That's the thing. To cancel, you have to go into Taco Bell to tell them or mail them a letter. So they think this is going to be the new way to fast food restaurants are going to start doing stuff.

Just like, I think McDonald's was the first company to do the extra value meal. And now pretty much every fast food has extra value meal, right? Yeah. But I want to give it to you. McDonald's will give you that big, they give you that big Diet Coke. They want to give it. Like, it's not, you know, they're handing it to you. No, the drinks are all the same price. Yeah. You know? So it doesn't, yeah. But is it cheaper to get extra value meal than if you ordered those three separately? Yeah.

I don't know. I never get a bit extra value meal, though. Like, I don't like the cup. I've even got extra value for the extra fries, and they'd be like, just give me the regular cup, though, just because it's like the cup's so big. Oh, really? Yeah. I always thought you got the number one. I do. But I'm just saying I'll get it just a regular size, number one, and, like, come with the meat. I like the medium cup and the, yeah. But that's extra value meal, right? Yeah, you're talking about the meal, yes. Yeah. Yes. I'm talking about the extra, I guess, the...

The large, large, large. I can't even remember a time before meals. McDonald's invented the meal at a fast food place. Like combo combo. Yeah, that's what I mean. I don't talk about how that doesn't make sense. They're like, well, they did that. So I bet this is going to be the new future. I just got to buy 10. Like, there's no way.

So I'm paying $10 a month, and I just got to go up there and get one taco? Yeah, that's the complaint about it. Like, who can just go in there and eat one? And you don't. You go order more, but that's why they probably try to get you to come in. They're like, you'll buy more while you're there. Yeah, you're not just going to wait in line and get one taco. Yeah. But I mean, but one taco is not $10, so...

I don't, there's no way this works. But you go every day. You could. Yeah, you go every day. But I mean, you would only eat one taco. Like you're not, who's just going to have that one taco for lunch? Right. This would have to be, I know there's got to be some guy that's like, oh, this is unbelievable. Like if it makes total sense for him.

If he was already going to Taco Bell every day. Yeah. He's like, I go every day anyway. Yeah. So here's a description of it. It says available starting today exclusively on the Taco Bell app. This is from January 6th. So this has been out for a couple weeks now. The Taco Lovers Pass allows fans to redeem one of seven iconic tacos a day for 30 consecutive days at participating U.S. locations, all for the price of $10. So those tacos are, this is what you can get in Crunchy Taco, Taco Supreme. You can get the Doritos Locos Taco, whatever.

The Rito's Locos Taco Supreme. What a supreme deal. That's what it says right below it. My God. Oh, yeah. I don't know. 10 bucks for one of those a day.

It doesn't make sense. If you're just running in there, I guess if I work next to a Taco Bell, but I don't see the value in it. I don't know. Why would you go in there? It doesn't seem as good like MoviePass. You'd have to get like three. Yeah, MoviePass makes sense. Yeah. You'd have to get like three.

A month for it to even be like, to break even, probably. Yeah, movie pass was literally too good to be true. They had to, I mean, it's no longer around. Right. You know? But there are regal passes now and things like that. Right. If you see two movies a month, I think it more than pays for itself, right? Mm-hmm. I have the AMC thing. I get three a week. Pretty cool. Three free movies a week? Yeah. And how much you pay? I don't know. It's like 20 bucks or something. A month? Yeah. That's pretty good. Two movies, it pays for itself. Yeah. You know? Yeah, 20 bucks a month? Yeah.

If there were a McDonald's, I would join a McDonald's membership. Yeah, I love Taco Bell. I just don't think one taco is, you know, I just would be like, I'll just buy it on my own. A, you have to have a car. Can you imagine? Sometimes, too, the problem with a lot of this stuff, you do it and it's going to seem like it's great. I feel like they make you feel bad when you go

When you would do it. I was about to ask. The mental hurdle of handing over a membership card. Yeah. If you're going through flipping through your membership cards, you got Sam's, Costco's, Planet, everybody, everyone's going to Planet Fitness and then you got Taco Bell. But I always think when they kind of offer this stuff, like they don't, it's never a welcoming feeling.

If fast food wants to do something like this, it's got to be more welcoming. It's almost like you feel bad. It's almost like they're annoyed that you're not – you're like, I got this card, and they're going to be like, ugh. And then they got to go run it or something like that. Yeah, because the people who work there don't even want to be there. Yeah, and then you're like, well, I don't even want this card. You're making me feel – I feel cheap. That's like – I remember getting hotels on –

like Expedia or Priceline and you would do that Priceline thing and you get there, there's times you'd be like, well, I feel, you're making me feel bad that I did it like this. And then you're like, well, I don't even want to. And so then I don't want to do it because I don't want to get, I'm going to get yelled at by somebody, you know? Yeah. I did it. I didn't do it the exact right way. Yeah. I didn't do it. I'm sorry. I didn't do it the way you wanted me to do it. But I started buying stuff through the website because it was, I just was like, I don't, I felt,

You know, I don't, that could be me though. I don't know if I've. I totally get that. If you check in a price line there and you're like, what's your name? I go Weber. And they go, did you book it through something else? Yeah. I'm like, yeah, sorry. Yeah. I found a guy on the road. He was selling his room. He rented it and then he wasn't going to stay in it. You know what I would buy? It was part of a membership, like a TSA pre-check for a fast food place.

An expedited line. Are you going to like a lot of metal detectors? Where's your fast food? You go to ones that are pretty dicey in the air. You made a way to skip the line. Yeah. Yeah, I meant to skip the line. Well, they do mobile orders. Oh, okay. Then, yeah, that kind of defeats the purpose. Yeah. But I'm talking more about spontaneous orders.

Like if you're just on the road. You know, if I'm by Zaney's, there's that Chick-fil-A that's always right by Zaney's. And I like to see what's going on over there. And there's always 800 million cars in line. But if there's a pre-check line, swipe a little card, I get to cut all of it. Yeah. I'd pay for that. You think there's a certain weight they make you? Like the guys? Who's going to want that? They got to have a van. You hear a van. I check every box. You check every...

Yeah, this mobile order, I think, would... You're just talking about a spur of the moment if you're hungry. Yeah. Yeah. I like to cut that line. Taco Bell, that might be worth it if you got one free meal. Yes. That might be worth it. A day. Yeah. But they would get crushed with that. I mean, that would be pointless.

They should be like, and we'll give you free refills. You're like, you already do though. And you're like, well, but we'll do it for you. I don't see how this is the future of fast food. I just don't understand how they like who over there is just like, you know what? McDonald's came up with the meals and I'm like,

And I think the future is going to be membership. Who said this was the future? Is that you? It's Taco Bell, I think. Oh, okay. I thought you were saying this is the future. I'm saying it because I love it so much. Yeah, but they're saying like, they're like, this is what we think is going to happen. Subscription services, Taco Bell. Because everything's a subscription service. Nowadays you have like, you know, now you pay $5 basically for just everything. And you're subscribed to so much stuff. But like, you're not going to,

I don't think you can do it with food. I could see, I'm trying to think, like, I mean, there's like a cafeteria. Like I said, if you could go in there and get a meal. Yeah. And like, it was like a college thing where you're like, I don't got to pay. I just go in there and pick and you put it on my card and like, say I pay whatever, I'm allowed this much, you know, a month. Almost like a food allotment. Like you're like, all right, I pay 30 bucks a month at Taco Bell. I'm allowed 60 bucks worth of food.

And I go there and use it as much. Like that would be. Oh, that would be better. Yeah. Yeah. Do that. Yeah. Well, it's the same premise. It's just there's as much smaller. But it's not because it's just saying one taco. Like, so it's like, that's enough to make you not do it. Cause you go 10 bucks a month. You're like, well, I'm not, I'm going to go in there and just get one taco. Like, I guess, you know, it's, it doesn't, it doesn't, it's not enough reward. Yeah. They need to up it a little bit. Yeah.

We'll see how it goes. Yeah. Speaking of talking about asteroid, I want to see what is that one? Asteroid is... All right. So next week, next Tuesday, to be specific, at like 4.50 in the afternoon, an asteroid is passing by Earth. It's 1.2 million miles away, which is very close by asteroid standards. So close that they said you can see it with just a small telescope.

It's 24,000 Rhode Islands away. Oh, wow. Good job. So they said it's nothing to worry about, but it's the closest and largest asteroid that's passed Earth in some time. It's bigger than any two Empire State Buildings, I think that's what they compared it to. If it hit the Earth, they said anything within 25 square miles would be destroyed. Yeah. So it's not like one of these that wiped out the dinosaurs, but it would be...

super, super deadly to... When would you... If you were at... Would you just... Would it be like a... If you're us and it's going to hit, I mean, are we looking at it like a fly ball kind of situation? Like, are we...

Like, you know, when you got to get out of the way, you know, is it like you're just we're all down here. You got to run back up. You like go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Like, I mean, how do they give us a good heads up? Like, you know, hey, Texas or like, hey, you know. Right. You know, it's like, are you are we all just kind of like.

You kind of got to keep an eye. Everybody go outside. It's like a punt you don't want to touch. Peter, Peter, Peter. It's traveling 43,000 miles an hour, so you'd have to move pretty fast. It's the closest since it was estimated to pass in 1933. These things, they come back around. So this asteroid's been here before. Well, look who it is again. Next time we're here, it'll be 2150. So...

Will it be closer? How are they not hitting? Do they never hit? Well, meteorites and stuff hit the Earth. Asteroids would think the odds are... Well, stuff has hit before, obviously. Yeah, now NASA started this program called DART, Double Asteroid Redirection Test. Seems like a weird...

What was it? Double asteroid? I don't know why it's called double, but it's basically, they're testing it out later this year where they're sending a spacecraft that run into an asteroid to see if they can knock it off course. Oh. And they're just doing it just to see if it works in case an asteroid ever was going to hit Earth. So they would have a way to stop it from hitting us. To move it. To move it. Yeah. Literally just crashing into it and see if they can move it. So they're just going to have something below it, like just, you know. Yeah. Just bang into it. Like an Empire State Building kind of thing.

That big, that fast, and then you're just going to... So it might just go, no. Yeah, it might just bounce off. I'm like, nope, still coming. Yeah. But they're testing that to keep us from... I hope it works. Yeah. I do too. What was it in Armageddon? They went and... It was drill workers. Well, Bruce Willis stayed on it. Yeah, but I can't remember what they were doing. Oh, they were drilling in and blowing it up, right? Yeah. That's right. He had to stay to keep it. He had to stay. This is better than that, if it works. Yeah. Yeah.

So it's next. It's tomorrow, right? The 18th? Oh, you're right. It is tomorrow. It's supposed to come by? Yeah. So it's been yesterday. Yeah. So people might not be listening to this. They may be taking the wrong turn. This might never come out. Yeah. Thankfully. Yeah. 4.51 Eastern. 4.51 PM. PM Easter time. We'll be able to see it in the daytime. You'll feel it? Is it going to make a breeze? I don't know. We'll see. You know, like when you hear. You're like, ooh, Phil heard that.

I still think I saw a meteor on fire. I know I did once when I was little. I forget where I was. It was low enough that I could see the flames behind it. Like a shooting star? Mm-hmm. But I could see the... You could see the fire? I could see the fire. Yeah. It burned up in the atmosphere, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. I remember that. I believe you. Yeah. Yeah. I think a lot of people have. You've seen that? Yeah.

I've seen shooting stars with their tails behind them. I mean, I could see the flames. It was like you could see that much. I mean, I could tell that that was flame. I mean. No. I'm seeing the red. I could see. I mean, I picture in my mind. I was a kid. I see flame. It was low. How old were you? I don't remember. I remember this was back when I remembered stuff. Yeah. For pre-Matrix. Yeah.

Do you not believe me? No, I believe you. I just, I don't know if it's any different than what other people say. If you're seeing the flames versus like, yeah, you see like a little trail of something about like, you know, like an air, what can you see a plane fly and you see that. Like that? Yeah. It was like that. It was, yeah. I mean, it was fire. Yeah. That one. You're on. Yeah. Boom. This one? Yeah. I believe you. Yeah. I don't know why Brian doesn't, but I believe you, man. Yeah. And we're going to see one again.

Coming up soon with hits right here. It's the studio. Yeah. Well, this is going to be a short one just so people. Well, we got a lot of stuff here to talk about. Huh? We got a lot of fun stuff. We'll go do another one. Do you have anything, Aaron, you want to share? Oh, this can't be the podcast just to go on. All right. You got any? Well, so I have to bring everything?

The system might not work like this. All right. Was there anything on that that interests you? No, it does, but it's got to be... Yeah, I don't know. I've got to rethink.

It's a proof of concept episode. The answer can't be. You got anything you want to bring up? There's no, that can't ever be asked on there. Okay. People are listening to this. All right. Well, if you do, Aaron, just jump in. You got Jeopardy, Lady, right? Lady is, she's won 32, 33 straight in a row. She's now, I think, third most-

wins ever. Wow. Fourth, as far as money goes first woman to do it.

So a lot of women are saying, see, women are smart too. Yeah. But she used to be a man, so. Really? Yeah. Really? I'm joking about the women saying, see, but she did used to be a man. Oh, really? That's funny. Got that going. But they think she could be the all-time winner. Ken Jennings dominates as far as the most. He was like 70 or 80, right? 74. 74 games in a row. She's almost halfway. Yeah, but she's almost a second place. In money earnings.

And in most wins. So he was that much better than everybody? He was like the Wayne Gretzky of Jeopardy as far as just wins. Okay. And this is going on now? Yep. Yep. We'll see. So Cal's a farmer in Turkey. Learned that he can get his cows to produce more milk if he put VR headsets on them to make them think they're in green pastures. They're in a barn.

And they're not producing enough milk, so we put a VR headset on them, and now they think they're in a great spot, and they're producing more milk. Where is this at? I think Turkey. Yeah. All right. Yeah. It's what you think it would be. Yeah. I thought it would be a different looking headset. That's it.

But they have to change the... It is a special headset. They have to change because Cal's C color is different. Oh, okay. So they have to adjust it for Cal's colors. So instead of just making the grass green around them, they give them all VR headsets. Well, they're in the middle. It's like wintertime there and there's nothing green around them. Oh.

So they're trying to make it seem like it is. They're trying to make them feel good about themselves. They're trying to trick them into making them think they're happy. Yeah, and it's working. This is in Russia, Moscow. Russia started it, but the guy right now is in Turkey. You wouldn't think Russia would come up with something like this. Yeah. Like, you know, you don't feel like, they're like, what if we get them VR? And they think, I don't know, maybe you would.

And so they're doing more milk. All right. Yep. All right. Oh, it's working. It's working. It went from 22 liters to 27 liters. Oh, wow. Wow. I mean, that's significant, right? I think so. 22 to 27? Yeah. It's five liters. That's a lot more. They're going to start doing this to people soon, for sure. Give the office worker VR headset. So more work in the back.

Like Xander, because people are just, so they're going to have you wear VR. Yeah, they go, we don't want you to think you're in a cubicle. Now you're on the beach working. Yeah. I'm sure the productivity would increase there. Oh, yeah. It's a slippery slope. Yeah. That's what I'm worried about. Yeah. I wish I was somewhere else. I wish I could see something else right now. Just put a headset on you. He didn't realize he's here. I think other people listening to this are like, I wish they're going to, they need to be like, I got to listen to something else.

To cut down on carbon emissions and air pollution, ships are now... Some ships are testing being pulled by giant kites. I mean, who? It's exactly what you think it is. It is a boat being pulled by a kite. Yeah. It's a kite that's 5,000-something square feet, and it's pulling ships to... So you can just see those everywhere now. Just go out there in the ocean, just see...

Kites everywhere. I mean, what if it starts going, the wind starts going the other way? Well, they can still, I think it's like a car that runs on, I mean, you can still, you can still. It's like a hybrid. Yeah, like a hybrid. You can do it the normal way, but if everything's going right. If we're coasting, it's like, hey man, we're going good. Let's put the kite out. Yeah, throw that kite up, dude. Yeah, and it pulls us.

How smart do you have to be to even propose something like this? Because if I went in there... I don't know. I don't think you have to be that smart. I think anybody could come up with... But I mean for somebody to take it seriously. Because if you and I went in there and we're like, I got an idea. I don't know. Let's hook a kite up to the boat. Yeah, this isn't... I think... I mean, I feel like they've been saying this for years. A cell. Well, I mean, a cell is essentially... That's what a cell is.

That is what a sail is. So it's not, well, what's the difference of this? It's like, well, what if we do it more like a kite and we have it... Well, that's the big difference. One's a kite and one's a sail attached to the boat. Yeah, but it's the general idea. And I guess they're saying we should do it with those. That doesn't look like it's big enough to even pull it. I think that's a really big ship. Yeah. Yeah, it's a big one, man. Yeah, I don't... Yeah, I mean, reeling that thing back, I mean, just...

I get it. You know, you don't want to pollute the ocean or whatever. You know, it's doing that stuff. Man. Some guy on the boat just holding it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the problem is, you know, it's going to just fall on the, you know. Tangle up. Good for them, you know. Mm-hmm.

All right. Matthew Stafford's wife just told a story on her podcast about going on this trip where they met Leonardo DiCaprio. Have you heard this? So Matthew Stafford, quarterback for the Rams, he and his wife went on vacation together with Matt Ryan, quarterback for the Falcons, and his wife. They were in Bahamas, and they were sitting at this restaurant, and I think they even had empty seats beside them, and Leonardo DiCaprio comes in with his girlfriend. They pull up a chair next to them.

They all start drinking. They never met before. They all start drinking, have fun, a lot of drinks flying. And Leonardo says, we should play beach volleyball tomorrow. And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thinking like, oh, we're just drunk. We're just saying whatever. The night ends. Next day, Matt Ryan, Matthew Stafford, go play golf. The girls are going to go to the beach to lay out. They walk down to the beach. Leo's down there warming up. Yeah.

And taking it serious. Yeah. And his girlfriend's down there too and some other people. And they're like, oh crap, they're really. So they call Matthew Stafford and Matt Ryan and said, get over here. Leo's down here warming up to play. So they leave the golf course. They come running back. They play volleyball, sand volleyball. Matt Ryan spikes it. It goes off someone's arm, hits Leo's girlfriend in the face. God. Yeah.

Finally he ends and he's like, I think Matt Ryan and Matthew Staffordstein won. Leo's like, what if we play some frisbee golf? Let's go do that. And she's like, they're thinking, why does he keep challenging us to stuff? But I think because they're like professional athletes, he wanted to see if he could hang with the big boys. So then they go play frisbee golf. So then they go do that. So then they said, let's do a drinking game. So then the night they're doing this drinking game and it's getting kind of out of control. And one of the game is,

take five shots or lick Matt Ryan's wife's ear four times. And everyone just thinks, well, he'll do the shots. Leo, he goes over and licks Matt Ryan's wife's ear for like a while. Yeah. Yeah. And she said, everyone just froze like, Oh my gosh, what is going on here? And that's pretty much it. It's just the crazy trip. This is the craziest trip of their life.

I don't feel like that's that crazy of a thing. If he was like, go lick Matt Ryan's ear or something. It sounds like he was getting into it. Yeah, four shots, though. That's a lot. Like, if you're like, I don't want to be. Well, they're all drunk already. Yeah, I know. But maybe you're just enough to go like, I don't want to be just miserable. Leonardo DiCaprio, I mean, he's 45 years old or something like that, right? It's not like he's.

If he licks Matt Ryan, it's just a funny guy's playing around. His wife, that's kind of intimate. That's weird. Yeah, no, that's what I'm saying. So Leo's like, why would he think that's weird? If you went and licked a woman's ear, like as a dude. That's how he greets all women, probably. He's 47. 47. Yeah, that's getting up there. Yeah, so, yeah, that's fun. See, that's like the thing where if you're like that, and you go and do that, that's like, does...

And then now the story gets out. Like, you can't ever – like, if you're him, you can never just go, like, I thought we could just hang out. Yeah. And it's always like, this is – even when you're with other – and I'm not – you know, it's just like, yeah, you're just that famous. Right. That you're – Yeah, no, Matthew Stafford's wife, she's a wild card herself. She got – I don't think she can even go to their games anymore because she gets in fights with fans and stuff like that. Really?

She has her own podcast, so I think she just... Oh, she talked about it on her podcast? I think so, yeah. Yeah. So we're talking about CPAP, so I guess it's understandable. She might slip a story in about Leo. Yeah. Yeah, I get it.

But it is crazy. That's how – when you're that famous, it's like you just – everybody's going to do it. Didn't we talk about this one time? Like you're not going to not take a picture with them. You're not going to not – you know, it's like they're just too famous. Yeah. And they're just like – you're like, dude, this is too crazy. And, you know. Yeah, look how famous those guys are. NFL quarterbacks. Right. It's not even close. Yeah. And they're so starstruck. Oh, yeah. I mean, that – you know, they wouldn't – if you –

Anybody else was like, hey, these warm-ups play volleyball. They're like, well, tell them we're not going. Yeah. And then Leonardo DiCaprio, you're like, we got to go. Yeah, cancel our tee time and come back. Rush back. Yeah, rush back. Yeah. Like he's down here warming up. Like he's enough that would make you go do it. If you had a tee time and Brian and I were going to play volleyball, would you? I don't even know. I don't think we'd be at the same place.

I don't even think he'd answer the phone call. We were at the Holiday Inn down the street. Y'all walked all the way up on the beach and to see a bucket hat. No sunscreen ever. Like your dad slaps it on? Yeah, exactly. Just go play some beach football. I mean, Tuesday, what are the teams?

I guess it's, I think some workers, they said were there too. Like that worked at the resort play with them. Cause when he spiked the ball, I don't think he spiked it right off her face. I think he spiked it off someone's arm and hit her in the face.

I would think they would need to take it easy, Matthew Stafford and Ryan. Yeah, they're two NFL quarterbacks. Yeah, and they're both big. And you'd be like, y'all could probably tone it down a little bit. Like, you know. They're competitive. Yeah, I mean, I guess that's true. But I don't know if you should be spiking it. You could be like, I don't know if I'm going to spike it. Just have a fun – it's a fun game. Yeah, just a fun game. But I guess if Leonardo DiCaprio is warming up, stretching, taking it seriously, you've got to – It's a possible 47-year-old alcoholic. So maybe –

Maybe you let him stretch a little bit. You're in your prime. Is he taking it serious? All right, we're taking it serious. That's a good point. He's one I would always think about. I want to meet him. I like him, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington. I think about Denzel a lot lately. People that you kind of go, you're like, that's who would be fun to meet.

But do you want to meet them or do you want to meet the characters they've played? I think I want to meet them. Tom Cruise? I just think they're so good. Yeah, Tom Cruise would be great too. Like just those, I mean, it's them. It's like you're just kind of like these kind of crazy, you're like, man. But those are all guys that have been around forever. Like who from your generation would you want to meet? Kevin James. Yeah.

Okay. I was thinking about Tony Robbins.

Are you serious? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Morgan Freeman. Yeah. Everybody from Shawshank. You just named three people older than the guys he named. I know. That's what I was trying to do. I thought you were going to say like. Bob Gunton. I'd meet all my heroes. Who's that? He's the prison warden from Shawshank. Oh. I don't know. I don't care about anybody. I'm trying to think of who's my age. I think maybe the oldest, like Seth Rogen and that group of guys, they're like 10 years older than me. They're probably in their 40s, right? I'd like to meet those guys.

You know? Yeah. James Franco, those dudes. Yeah. Yeah. You got a lot in common with them? Did James Franco just get in a bunch of trouble? How much do you have in common with Denzel Washington? I'm just joking because I'm saying James Franco just didn't get in much trouble. Oh, I don't know. I don't know. Maybe. John Chris. Yeah. That's not the version you're like, you know, I was like, Bill Cosby. I don't think, I don't even know what James Franco is. He's another dude who's just funny to me. All right. All right. I think we're good.

This was on the whole podcast. I think so. I think it's a wrap on. I think it was a wrap. No, it's not wrapping night land. Uh, I think there's going to be some fine tuning and this was a long weekend for me. So I was a little tired, but, uh, I want to mention our guests. We have, we had Zoe set in Zoe. Welcome. You can come say hi.

We had, uh, just came in and, uh, said we had, uh, uh, and my nephew, Caleb is here. All right. Two couple of guests. There's Zoe. You can see, say hi, wave at everybody. Uh, dancing. Yeah, there you go. Uh, should have sit through that. Sit through this. Did you like it, Zoe? No good. I thought it was one of your best episodes yet. Oh, there we go. Thank you. There we go. Thank you. We like it. All right. Welcome. Uh, I mean, hello folks. Uh,
