Unbelievable.
[20:12]
Unknown
And we got one more to go.
[20:14]
Nate Bargatze
We were all watching. You know, I was telling you it was. Greg Garcia was with us, and. And he was. He was like. I. He was like, if I knew Aaron a little better, I would have texted and been like, hey, you got time to chat real fast. Just right. With like, 30 seconds. 30 seconds left. And I was like, we should just call him and then just see. All right. That's why I was joking when I said I was gonna text you with a minute left and go, congrats.
[20:41]
Unknown
Oh, man.
[20:42]
Nate Bargatze
I mean that. Because, I mean, that's infuriating when the game's not wrapped up and it's like, dude, if we texted Aaron now, we go, congrats, man. You get so many people, dude. Nick Novicki, he can't wait to text you. He'll text you. Congrats, first quarter. I mean, he loves it. He. I. I have to get. I go, nick, do not talk to me until after the game. Yeah, because he'll be minute in. He goes, vandy's looking good. We lose by 40. And then, you know, he's like, whoa.

Nate Bargatze
Yeah. And I'm like, nick, I swear, when.
[21:16]
Unknown
The Titans Beat the Ravens when they were the number one seed in the playoffs. We watched at your house, and Titans are up by, I don't know, 10 or something like that early in the fourth quarter, and Ryan Malone shows up. He goes, oh, it's over.
[21:33]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[21:33]
Unknown
And I got so upset just him saying that, because I feel like he was going to jinx us.
[21:37]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. Yeah. I don't like it. I don't like it. Dusty.
[21:41]
Ryan Seacrest
I was in town Friday. Friday got snowed out. But I did this weekend at Zany's. I did four spots at the club. I had no shows. I did a spot. I did shoot two guest spots on Catherine Blamford show. And then I did a spot on Killer B's show. The. The Nashville legend, Killer Bees. And then I did a Zany's comedy all Stars. So four shows at Zany's in one night. That used to be unheard of.
[22:07]
Nate Bargatze
Unheard of.
[22:08]
Ryan Seacrest
It was so great. And, yeah, it was just fun. I was. I'm. I practiced this. I was actually. I'm doing the Tonight show on Thursday.
[22:16]
Nate Bargatze
Oh.
[22:17]
Ryan Seacrest
So I was practicing a set, and each time I did it, it got worse. By the fourth time, I was like, I don't even know if I should do the Tonight Show. But I rewrote it and did it on Sunday, and it was great.
[22:32]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[22:32]
Unknown
That's good.
[22:33]
Nate Bargatze
So I think it's good sometimes to. You know the hard part when you run a set. It's because you're only running that set.
[22:40]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
[22:40]
Nate Bargatze
And so when you go up there with a job to go. I'm just trying to time this out. It's a weird kind of thing. So you almost have to. When you run a set, you have to have a couple jokes just to.
[22:51]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
[22:52]
Nate Bargatze
Get the room going, then get in. And you get in this set without them even really knowing it. Well, I like. Because it. Because it can go bad.
[22:59]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. I like to do it that way so that I just. In case the audience is not hot when I get to the show for whatever reason.
[23:08]
Nate Bargatze
I agree. I. I would always go run my set in the word. You need a bomb with your set. I always go running in the worst situation, and I would usually bomb with it.
[23:16]
Ryan Seacrest
I bombed too many times.
[23:17]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. Yeah.
[23:18]
Ryan Seacrest
To where I was.
[23:19]
Nate Bargatze
Well, that is.
[23:19]
Ryan Seacrest
May not be a good set.
[23:20]
Nate Bargatze
And that's. Yeah, I know. That's the. That's the problem is because it's You. You do have to then eventually, like, go, I need to say something.
[23:31]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
[23:31]
Nate Bargatze
And have a couple other things. Just because I need to get Some gauge.
[23:34]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
[23:34]
Nate Bargatze
On the real timing of this set.
[23:36]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
[23:36]
Nate Bargatze
Because it's just a weird. Like, you just come out and I don't. It's like. Even if you didn't say I was running a set, it's. It's just. It feels like everybody knows.
[23:46]
Ryan Seacrest
Oh, yeah.
[23:46]
Nate Bargatze
And so it's every. Everybody's kind of like. It's almost like they know cameras are out or something. And you're like, well, they're not. We're just practicing, but. And then they're going to vibe.
[23:55]
Ryan Seacrest
They're going, this is what you're gonna do.
[23:57]
Nate Bargatze
This is what.
[23:57]
Ryan Seacrest
This is your idea of your best five.
[23:59]
Nate Bargatze
Did they bring you up or did you tell them I was doing Tonight Show? Did they bring you up as the.
[24:04]
Ryan Seacrest
No, no, no. Just. Just as a guest walks out.
[24:07]
Unknown
Because obviously I'm doing the Tonight show this week. Here's what I'm gonna do.

I actually wanted to try to write Kenny Chesney jokes for the thing. Yeah. He. You know, for me to make fun of a song, like, to break down a song, there's gotta. I don't know. And his songs are. Are good or kind of funny songs. So you can't make fun of a funny song.
[24:44]
Nate Bargatze
Right, right.
[24:44]
Ryan Seacrest
And then, I don't know, it's other songs I like. I like Kenny Chesn.

Ryan Seacrest

[25:17]
Trey Kennedy

Trey Kennedy
That's fun.

Nate Bargatze
Yeah, they were awesome.

He is going a little too high with the wave, I think, here, right?
[28:49]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, he is, too.
[28:50]
Unknown
Looks like he's asking a question.
[28:51]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, you don't want to get it too high. You're like, well, yes, you, sir.
[28:55]
Nate Bargatze
But I think impressions are a little exaggerated.
[28:58]
Unknown
Right.
[28:58]
Nate Bargatze
You know.
[28:59]
Unknown
Right.
[28:59]
Nate Bargatze
Obviously, with Bates, they don't. But, yeah, no, it's. Yeah. Everybody.
[29:07]
Unknown
That's really cool.
[29:08]
Nate Bargatze
It was very, very, very cool.
[29:09]
Unknown
Yeah, I like that camo.
[29:12]
It seems like they would have one of the women play the guy with the long hair and then maybe have the guy play me or Aaron.
[29:21]
Ryan Seacrest
That's right. Yeah.
[29:23]
Unknown
I mean, I think having the older guy be used a little on the nose. Yeah. I think they wanted.
[29:28]
Ryan Seacrest
That's a woman there on the left.
[29:30]
Nate Bargatze
You talking about. You talking about being Dusty, the older guy?
[29:33]
Unknown
I'm talking about the guy that's Dusty. I mean, the obvious choice would have had him be Brian, but they're like, that's a little too.
[29:38]
Ryan Seacrest
Does he have a real. Is that a real beard? Yeah, that he has.
[29:42]
Unknown
No, it doesn't look.
[29:46]
Ryan Seacrest

Nate Bargatze
You could have done.
[29:51]

Trey Kennedy
He's like when I made the hats.

Nate Bargatze
Yeah. All right.

Nate Bargatze
You know, it was. Yeah. She's got a T shirt on the. With the horse. Pretty fun.
[30:12]
Unknown
Yeah.
[30:13]
Nate Bargatze
That's awesome. All right, started off your comments, Christine. I've seen every episode of Nate Land multiple times, and Nate has never been so giddy with such pure joy. More than the moment he got to prove Aaron wrong about Elvis. An iconic Nateland moment. You big elves. Elvis fan, Dre.
[30:33]
Trey Kennedy
No, I can't say I am. Yeah, but what's the argument?
[30:36]
Ryan Seacrest
Aaron's really taking a lot.
[30:37]
Nate Bargatze
He doesn't. Aaron doesn't think Elvis is that big of a garbage.
[30:41]
Ryan Seacrest
He thinks he looks big of a deal.
[30:44]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[30:45]
Trey Kennedy
What was your take?
[30:47]
Nate Bargatze
He ain't Notre Dames better than Elvis. I got worse. Word for word.
[30:52]
Ryan Seacrest
He's been taking a lot of heat for it, though, I think.
[30:54]
Nate Bargatze
Have you?
[30:55]
Unknown
I have been taking some flack. I've gotten more messages of support, but people are.
[31:00]
Ryan Seacrest
Okay.
[31:00]
Unknown
People are giving me private support, which I understand, given the circumstances. Out, dude.
[31:06]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[31:07]
Unknown
Facebook these people.
[31:08]
Nate Bargatze
I'll tell you what I would think. We have a lot of Elvis people. I think a lot of our listeners.
[31:12]
Unknown
You do?
[31:13]
Nate Bargatze
We. Yeah. We have a lot of people that.
[31:14]
Unknown
Love some elves, and it's very platform dependent. Facebook, they. Elvis is their favorite person of all time.
[31:20]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[31:21]
Unknown
And they're like, man, I thought I couldn't love Nate anymore, hearing him defend Elvis. Now he's my all time favorite.
[31:27]
Nate Bargatze
And you go and you love it.
[31:29]
Unknown
Kick that fat idiot off the bucket.
[31:30]
Nate Bargatze
Okay.
[31:31]
Trey Kennedy
Oh, wow. Send him to jailhouse Rock, man. I feel like guys, you're our age and younger, though, if this is what you're saying. I don't care about Elvis.
[31:41]
Unknown
Well, yeah.
[31:41]
Kick you off too.
[31:42]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah.
[31:43]
Nate Bargatze
You're gonna be done. Yeah.
[31:46]
Trey Kennedy
There it is.
[31:46]
Unknown
I just said I think he's more of a cultural icon than musical one. I don't think his music has aged as well as other people.
[31:54]
Trey Kennedy
I get what you're saying. Like Sinatra. We're still listening to Sinatra, but you put that on at the holidays.
[31:59]
Ryan Seacrest
It took a turn when he thinks.
[32:01]
Nate Bargatze
The same thing about Sinatra.
[32:02]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, he doesn't.
[32:03]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, they did.
[32:04]
Trey Kennedy
I. I thought he was gonna agree with me.
[32:06]
Nate Bargatze
And he was like, aaron doesn't think anything before his existence is pointless is what I would say. That's right.
[32:12]
Unknown
Yeah.
[32:13]
Nate Bargatze
And then everything after the Bible, I.

Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
[32:19]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[32:20]
Ryan Seacrest
He doesn't think Elvis can sing. That was a. That was where he lost me.
[32:23]
Unknown
I made fun of his voice a little bit, but Dusty used to dress up, so Anyway, it's been a whole thing. It's been a whole thing. But I just want you. I just want you to know. Got a lot of support out there from people.
[32:32]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[32:33]
Unknown
That's good. I was worried about you are right and going. I. I can't believe nobody agree with you. Shame on Dusty for turning his back on you in the middle of an argument. A lot of stuff like that. So.
[32:42]
Ryan Seacrest
Well, you. You kept heightening the argument to a place where I was like, I got to get off this. I'm not wearing my spacesuit here. I'm losing oxygen. Jump off.
[32:51]
Unknown
Trying to have a fun podcast.
[32:52]
Ryan Seacrest
You know what I mean?
[32:54]
Nate Bargatze
That's not. We're about Aaron. Nathan Bright hopped hoot. Nathan. Brit hoop. That's a right hoop. That's a tough one. That looks like what my name was before and I changed it to Bargetzi.
[33:06]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah.
[33:08]
Nate Bargatze
Don't care what the numbers say. Aaron is 1 million. Correct about Elvis.
[33:12]
Unknown
Now, that's the kind of statement I like.
[33:14]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[33:14]
Unknown
I go and I don't care what the facts are.
[33:17]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, yeah.
[33:17]
Ryan Seacrest
Don't show me the proof.
[33:18]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. So we looked at Spotify. Spotify. People listen to Spotify. It's enormous.
[33:23]
Unknown
People listen to 47 million monthly listeners.
[33:25]
Nate Bargatze
And he thought it was going to be like, I thought, Beatles will be.
[33:27]
Unknown
100 million Beatles 33 million.
[33:29]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. Beatles.
[33:30]
Unknown
Now. Now, what a lot of people told me is that who knows if this is true? That how Spotify calculates the monthly listeners as it looks at the previous 28 days. So what we were seeing. Heavily skewed by Elvis's Christmas album. Now I'm just gonna. I think we should look at those numbers again in April or May. Just.
[33:50]
Nate Bargatze
I like.
[33:50]
Ryan Seacrest
I like that.
[33:51]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, I look forward to it. But then April, May feels like a Beatles month. Yeah.
[33:57]
Trey Kennedy
They're big on the spread.
[33:58]
Unknown
Well, then that's Here comes the sun Skew.
[34:00]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. Yeah. So I went a little.
[34:02]
Unknown
That's true.
[34:02]
Ryan Seacrest
That's true.
[34:03]
Nate Bargatze
Much. Yeah.
[34:03]
Unknown
What would be a neutral month then? September. Fall's not really.
[34:08]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, I would say July.
[34:11]
Unknown
Okay.
[34:11]
Nate Bargatze
Or Elvis is like America. So then maybe that would be July. Could be maybe July. July doesn't feel like Beatles.
[34:19]
Ryan Seacrest
I think February is a good one.
[34:20]
Unknown
Okay. Yeah, we'll wait.
[34:21]
Nate Bargatze
February could be good.
[34:23]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
[34:23]
Unknown
Think about all the old people, though, that are Elvis fans who aren't on Spotify.
[34:27]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. I think April, May seems all that's Beatles all day.
[34:30]
Unknown
I'll wait till the numbers.
[34:31]
Nate Bargatze
I bet that's when they would tour.
[34:32]
Unknown
Or what they want.
[34:33]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah, yeah.
[34:33]
Unknown
I'll wait till the numbers are good for me, and then we'll look at them together. Yeah.

Still got to read that book. I have to give props to Aaron. I'm currently sitting in a southwest flight with an open middle seat. I'm a big dude, and I used Aaron's technique of picking a row with another big guy sitting in the window seat. I set myself in the aisle seat and watched as everyone passed by. We had the only empty seat on the flight Right here next to us. Hello, big folks.
[45:44]
Unknown
Yeah, it really is a good strategy. I admire you for using it because it is a little. It does hurt your feelings a little when you're the only seat next to you.

They smell bad or if they just look weird or something.
[46:00]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. Anybody.
[46:01]
Ryan Seacrest
I find the only potential problem is that you get kind of like the worst person. Right. If. If, like, he's fat, he's probably a like the person. No, I mean the towards.
[46:15]
Unknown
Person of size.
[46:17]
Ryan Seacrest
Towards the end of the flight, you get the person that's like, well, this is all we got.
[46:22]
Trey Kennedy
It's a little bit of a roll of the dice. Right. You ever been stuck with three fatties?
[46:26]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. What if. What if they. Oh. If the guy goes in and he goes, I guess this is our seats. And then he sits in between. Yeah. Oh, he, like, thinks he goes, I thought it was our section.
[46:40]
Unknown
I thought we could assist.
[46:41]
Nate Bargatze
I thought they made it. I go, are you kidding me? Y'all making us sit together? And then he just has to go. And he's. His butt never really touches the seat. He's just. Because he can't get all the way down.
[46:51]
Ryan Seacrest
And then they have to come move you to bal plane. Oh, guys, you can't sit on the same side.
[46:59]
Nate Bargatze
They've never seen. They've never seen three armrests all pulled up. All of them. Yeah. He does that little trick maybe you ever knew.
[47:07]
Unknown
Do that all the time.
[47:08]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[47:08]
Unknown
The aisle armrest.
[47:09]
Ryan Seacrest
One seat belt extender all the way across. There's no room in between.
[47:16]
Nate Bargatze
They Go, yeah, Y. And you're an exit row. And they go, guys, I don't know how to say this, but you can't.
[47:23]
Ryan Seacrest
Windows fogged up. There's a lot of heat.
[47:31]
Nate Bargatze
They do the math, and they realize that they're in the seats where they first start the food service. Y'all know what row it is?
[47:39]
Unknown
It's the first row back from exit row. That's where they start. That's how they usually do it. It is a little bit of a risk, but. But very, very rarely is there not at least one open seat on a Southwest flight. Even when they come on and say, you know, we got a full flight today, ladies and gentlemen. So that doesn't really mean it's full. Sometimes they go, we got a very full flight. Where you're like, well, fool is binary. So you're already being a little.
[48:07]
Nate Bargatze
What do they mean, full?
[48:09]
Ryan Seacrest
It's heavy.
[48:11]
Trey Kennedy
We're at capacity. Do you ever look at the guy and you guys kind of give, like, a them?

[48:43]
Unknown
Oh, yeah.
[48:44]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. You both look, and it's like, of course, you kind of flood over into that other seat, because sometimes. Are y'all still touching?
[48:57]
Unknown
Just our knees.
[48:58]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[48:58]
Unknown
Yeah. You can celebrate a little too early because you go, you gotta look around, and you go, oh, we're good.
[49:04]
Nate Bargatze
Oh, yeah.
[49:05]
Unknown
And then some idiot runs on the plane, last second, Right. And I've had that happen all the time to. So I got excited. This is the last time I flew. I got excited with the guy next to me, and. And he looked excited, too. And I go, don't count. Don't count your chickens for the hatch. And he goes, oh, I know.
[49:19]
Nate Bargatze
Oh.

Yeah. I don't think they serve chicken. I'll take one. You got to wait till that door shuts. Yes, I've learned that. And another one. You got to wait for the door shut. You got to make sure everybody sit it down. Because I've been caught with someone behind me back, like, in the back, and they walked all the way back past, and then they go, it's full back here. And so then they Turn around. And now they're looking for the only empty. The first seat that's empty.
[49:53]
Unknown
Or they go back for cabin space or something to put their bag. Yeah, you could. You just gotta.
[49:57]
Nate Bargatze

[49:58]
Unknown
Gotta be sure.
[49:58]
Nate Bargatze
You want to be almost moving.
[50:00]
Unknown
There's nothing worse than celebrating and then it gets ripped away from you.
[50:03]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. Yeah. You want them to come talk to you next row already? Like, if they've already talked.

[56:34]
Unknown
It's all Aaron at Dollar General.
[56:36]
Ryan Seacrest
Well, not about. Not all of us are doing arenas, so we don't really have really a take. I mean, We've done them, but headlining is different. It's a different feel.

The club is probably the best because the comic you saw.

Nate Bargatze
But, yeah.

Ryan Seacrest
I like the theater. You know, I never thought I would. I always told Aaron, I. I don't want to do theaters. I said, I like comedy clubs. And then I said, don't worry about it. And then I. And then I did a theater, and I was like, oh, no, this is better. But I do like comedy clubs in its own way, and because they're. It's fun. It's, like, real personal. You're right up in there. Like clubs like Comedy Off Broadway that you. You were just at. It's like people are right up on you, and it's like, you know, it's fun, but the theater's great, too.

They all feel great. The arena. I do look forward to getting back to arena because I think this act is going to. I'm going to be. To use the cameras a lot, like with just facial expressions and stuff and so the screens and really play with them and the way we're setting it up, it's going to feel like you're. There's going to be a lot of screens and I understand that, but I think if you, if you just watch the screen and go with it, like, and just. I'll be able to like, really use expressions to get laughs and stuff like that. And so I, I'm very excited to. For this run in the arenas. I, you know, but yeah, I, I like it. They're all awesome and they're all great in their own right. And it's a matter of, you know, go see it where you want to go see it, you know, so, yeah, you can go see it.

I'm sure Dusty toasted many a piece of loaf bread at Jim Bob's back in the day.
[62:45]
Ryan Seacrest
Well, this guy tweeted this at me. My mom grew up in Valley, and I mean, we called it loaf of bread, like a loaf of bread, but I, I, we never called it loaf bread.

Sliced bread, 1928. I bet by the time I made Lebanon, big boy Bates was bread. Bates was getting into. I got, you know, they go, you.
[63:54]
Ryan Seacrest
Hear about that low bread?
[63:55]
Nate Bargatze
That probably took a while.
[63:56]
Ryan Seacrest
I don't know.
[63:57]
Nate Bargatze
That took a long time to get to it. Like, you know, they have to get that around. Invention of sliced bread.
[64:04]
Unknown
And look how quickly it caught on, though. By 1933, over 80% of bread sold in the US was pre sliced.
[64:12]
Ryan Seacrest
Wow.
[64:13]
Unknown
What about comedian Red Skelton?
[64:15]
It's amazing. It's that much of a selling point because you can get the bread, but then once they pre sliced it, it says the bakery sold 2000% more bread bread. So it was that big of a selling point just to have already cut.
[64:29]
Nate Bargatze
Maybe not everybody.
[64:30]
Ryan Seacrest
They might even have had knives in every house in 1928.
[64:33]
Unknown
That might be one of the few things you need, like.
[64:36]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, like a sharp knife. Sharp enough to slice bread.
[64:39]
Nate Bargatze
They might. Knife.
[64:40]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, exactly.
[64:42]
Nate Bargatze
But I. I would think it's just the annoyance of slicing bread was, you.
[64:46]
Unknown
Know, there were people like, you're paying extra because you're too good to cut.
[64:49]
Nate Bargatze
Drone. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[69:04]
I read. Or if you have a vpn. Aaron, I don't understand that, but you do. You can still do it.
[69:09]
Trey Kennedy
Well, so as I understand it, the ban, it's not like it'll disappear off your phone. It just means. It's like you're kind of grandfathered in. Like you won't be able to download it again. But then it just. No one's, like, running it. So it's gonna. Just deteriorating.
[69:23]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[69:23]

[69:44]
Trey Kennedy
No, no. Facebook. And I'm lucky. Facebook and Tick Tock are. Are more important to me. I mean, it's still not good. It sucks. I mean, it sucks. I mean, I'm sure everyone has a following.
[69:55]
Ryan Seacrest
Facebook and you said.

[69:58]
Trey Kennedy
Instagram. Sorry.
[69:59]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[69:59]
Trey Kennedy
Facebook and Instagram are like. If they deleted Instagram, I'd be super bummed because that's. I feel like that's the most helpful for me at least.
[70:06]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. Yeah.
[70:07]
Unknown
But Instagram feels the most real to me still.
[70:10]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
[70:11]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah.
[70:11]
Unknown
Where it feels like it's the most real people. I don't know if that's accurate. Yeah. It.
[70:16]
Nate Bargatze
So it's. Yeah. With Tik Tok. Yeah. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the creator world because, I mean, people are going to. Like, there's people that are only on Tik Tok. Have they. Not even.
[70:31]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah, there's definitely a ton of kids who only on it. Or if it. It's like 90% of their income. You know, I mean, there's a lot of kids who are probably just like, dang.
[70:40]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[70:41]
Trey Kennedy
Of all ages, kids, adults.
[70:42]
Unknown
Trey, you're in a unique position to talk about this because your first platform where you got a lot followers and I remember seeing you on this way back in the day was you were huge on Vine.
[70:52]
Trey Kennedy
Right.
[70:53]
Unknown
And then vine went away. Yeah. What was that like taking all those people from your. I mean, starting over or did you convert those people or how did that work?
[71:01]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah, I started. Started over basically. And that was a good learning lesson. I was just making TikToks in college and I. I had almost 3 million there and it just. They just straight delete. They're like, on this date, it will disappear off the face of the planet. Wow.
[71:14]
Ryan Seacrest
Tick tock. Tick Tock is really stuck in your mind, I think. I feel like every app that you're trying to reference, you say Tik Tok.
[71:21]
Trey Kennedy
Did I just say it again?
[71:22]
Unknown
Tik Tok. You're making vines.
[71:24]
Trey Kennedy
It's clearly affecting me deep down in my soul. Yeah, yeah.
[71:27]
Unknown
Better help.
[71:27]
Trey Kennedy
But.
[71:31]
Nate Bargatze
Seems like you're taking it well.
[71:34]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah, but I. I guess it was good learning less with vine because when that ended, I really didn't have a following elsewhere. I had to kind of start from square.
[71:43]
Nate Bargatze
What did you do? Like on. Go on vine and say, all right, I must be here. Like, is there. Is. Was there a formal ending? A laugh? Last post there.
[71:51]
Trey Kennedy
Really? Yeah, there really was. They had a date.
[71:53]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[71:55]
Trey Kennedy
Every single kid of. I was just like, follow my Instagram.
[71:57]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[71:58]
Trey Kennedy
And I got. I maybe had 50, 000 when I ended, but I. I had 3 million. So luckily I was able to keep going, build new followings and. And keep. I post across, you know, five platforms on purpose now because this happens. So. Yeah, it's kind of wild.
[72:14]
Unknown
Wow.
[72:15]
Trey Kennedy
But you know, for this. So there's any tick tockers out there. You know, I was able to keep it going. I think if you're good at making content, it can work on.
[72:21]
Unknown
If you can do six seconds, then the rest should be easy.
[72:26]
Trey Kennedy
Hopefully. I mean, I didn't. I wasn't convinced of it, but luckily it worked out. Yeah, it's just great. And now we're reverting back to it. I feel like kids are making 10c videos again.
[72:33]
Nate Bargatze
Cuz it's because reals are where it's at.
[72:36]
Trey Kennedy
Right, right, right, right.
[72:38]
Nate Bargatze
Because reals is a little bit more like Tik Tok. Right. You just can scroll and like look at the videos.

Nate Bargatze
Oh, they have to know.
[75:10]

[75:11]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. So when you make a video for something, you're making it in general. Are you making it for one specific one or is there. Is it kind of like for all?
[75:22]
Trey Kennedy
Kind of for all. Sometimes I think Instagram and Facebook have a similar vibe and Tik Tok's a little different. So sometimes I make a video kind of like, I think this will be better on Tik Tok versus Instagram and Facebook, but really just posting it everywhere. Making. I don't, I don't get crazy and make sure.
[75:39]
Nate Bargatze
Is there one thing that you can post it and it goes to everything or do you got to individually go put it in there?
[75:45]
Trey Kennedy
Are those services. I've never used them because I like to really pay attention when I'm posting and be involved and. Yeah, and react. Because. Because then there's some videos I post to one platform, not the other based off of performance.
[75:58]
Unknown
Instagram will give you the option to post to Facebook because they're owned by the same.
[76:01]
Trey Kennedy
That's true.
[76:02]
Unknown
But then on Facebook the handle won't tag that person.
[76:08]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah.
[76:08]
Unknown
Because it's still the Instagram handle.
[76:10]
Trey Kennedy
Facebook is kind of. It's so big and stuff, but I feel like no one does anything but complain about it. It's difficult to use. Analytics are weird and all that. But now it's. I mean this day it's. I used to make longer videos and it's all about just making like vertical 40 second videos now.

Unknown
I think it meant like, I'm tired of telegraphing back and forth with you. I've gotta. I'm gonna stop for dinner.
[78:45]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[78:47]
Unknown
GM meant good morning. And there was an article saying how some of these people who could telegraph via telegraph.
[78:54]
Trey Kennedy
I was thinking you're on a ship or something, just flagging. No, like you do it visually, right? No. I don't know what I'm. That's wrong probably.
[79:04]
Nate Bargatze
But there's a lot of talk. There's a lot of vertical fake sfds. Stop for dinner.
[79:10]
Trey Kennedy
Oh, yeah.
[79:10]
Nate Bargatze
It just lazily. He's like. And he's like. Like, give me a break. 2:00pm he goes, We're having early dinner.
[79:17]
Unknown
There was a newspaper story in the 1840s saying how these people, they'd rather be friends with people on. They could telegraph more to go back and forth with than their actual friends. They'd rather chat that way.
[79:31]
Nate Bargatze
Wow.
[79:31]
Unknown
And there's an article said, now people just say whatever's on their mind. There's no thought. They just send stuff out. So in many ways it was like social media.
[79:40]
Trey Kennedy
That's kind of.
[79:40]
Nate Bargatze
But it's with. Yeah. With Morse code. What would you. How would it even get to the other place?
[79:47]
Ryan Seacrest
Through a wire.
[79:48]
Unknown
Some wire. Electronic.
[79:50]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, but your wire would have to be connected to that place.
[79:53]
Unknown
I don't know how it works.
[79:54]
Nate Bargatze
Did you have to go knock on the door and go, will you take the other end of this? Watch.
[80:01]
Unknown
Hold it.
[80:02]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. Like how like you I mean. Yeah, I don't. Over wires.
[80:07]
Ryan Seacrest
I don't even know how it works now. I mean. Yeah, I don't either. It's just invisible.
[80:13]
Unknown
Yeah. Transmits electrical signals over wires where the sender would press a key to create electrical pulses that would travel along the wire to the receiver, which would then translate those pulses into audible clicks or printed dots. So, I mean, this might be so dumb, but to me it seems like you have to be right on the other end of that.
[80:35]
Nate Bargatze
That.
[80:35]
Unknown
Of that wire. So I don't know how you link up with somebody across the country.
[80:39]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, you'd have to meet someone. Unless they all had a wire that went to a town. But then how does it go? You know, a picture, one building in a town.
[80:48]
Unknown
Telegrams relied on a network of wires strung along long distances to transmit the electrical signal. So it was like, yeah, okay, you could, like, link up to, like a hub and do it that way.
[81:00]
Nate Bargatze
That's crazy.
[81:01]
Unknown
So it doesn't have to be one to one.
[81:03]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[81:03]
Ryan Seacrest
Like an old Internet.
[81:04]
Nate Bargatze
But how does it know? I wonder how it knows to go. Where are you just putting it out there in general?
[81:09]
Unknown
I have no idea. Pretty amazing technology when you think about it.

No.
[82:50]
Started 1997, went till 2000. It was basically 6 degrees of separation. It was kind of like MySpace and Facebook where you just link your friends and they know these many people and things like that. It was short lived, but never heard of that. Then there was makeoutclub.com so this all.
[83:09]
Started as dating stuff, it seems like.
[83:12]
I don't think 6 degrees was.
[83:13]
I think it was makeout club probably though.
[83:15]
Ryan Seacrest

And my dad goes, espn.com and the guy types it in, he goes, watch this. And he hits enter. And it takes like six seconds to load. And we were like, oh my God.

It just felt right to do it.
[86:27]
Trey Kennedy
What are. I have no idea what it is at all.
[86:30]
Nate Bargatze
I don't really know either. And I never know what to do. I want to just accept it. I'll accept it. Sometimes I. I'm like, if I got some time, I'll go in there and figure out how not to accept it. But then the one thing says you have to. Well, it's the ones that we need to run the thing. You're like, well, y'all never needed them before, but now I guess you need cookies. Like, so. I don't even believe that. That. And then, yeah, it's all a scam.
[86:54]
Ryan Seacrest
They just want your data. I mean, that's all it is.
[86:56]
Unknown
Well, some stuff you need. You need the cookies to operate. That's literally the way. It's not. It's not a scam. If you want whatever your website you're using to remember information that you've inputted, like on a previous page or something like that. That's how cookies work.
[87:11]
Nate Bargatze
So you, you don't have to redo it every time.
[87:13]
Unknown
Yeah, so stuff like that. Yeah, you're right. So everything. That's where everything's bad.
[87:19]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah, everything is bad, though. I mean, there. It's all about getting your information. Yeah, they remember it for you, but for them.

Nate Bargatze
Yeah, yeah, you get. Yeah. I mean, isn't Tik Tok getting canceled because of this? Because they're like.
[87:46]
Ryan Seacrest
Right. And that's what I'm saying. Finally we got a little bit of freedom of information out here. And they're like, let's take it away.
[87:53]
Nate Bargatze
Oh, I thought it was because we're getting spied on or something.
[87:56]
Unknown
No, it's for the exact opposite. Because, Dusty, for the exact opposite reason.
[88:00]
Nate Bargatze
According to my Tik Tok videos.
[88:03]
Ryan Seacrest
Well, that's. That's what they tell other go, we're protecting you. You, but go eat McDonald's, but we're protecting you. You know what I mean? They're like, they don't protect us anywhere else, but they're like, oh, we're protecting you now. Even Mark Zuckerberg now is like, hey, guys, remember when I said we weren't. We weren't hiding information? Well, we were, and now we're not going to do it anymore. So I don't trust any of these social media things any. And so I don't trust Tick Tock any less. Yeah, then I trust the rest of them, man. I mean, come on, guys.
[88:33]
Nate Bargatze
Come on, guys.
[88:36]
Ryan Seacrest
Get it together. I mean, I don't need to bring it to a halt here, but I just need you guys to know. Yeah, they're all spying.
[88:46]
Nate Bargatze
I think we all know. Yeah, that's the cookies.
[88:48]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
[88:49]
Unknown
Well, anyway, this story's not that good. I've been trying to tell it for.

Nate Bargatze
Oh, God, it's about you.

Unknown
No, let's move on.

Nate Bargatze
Yeah.

Ryan Seacrest
Sold it.
[90:01]
Nate Bargatze
Well, yeah, he should have. Maybe he did. Maybe he realized, oh, that was such a good move. And then maybe he did buy other kind of stuff.

Ryan Seacrest
Cuz I don't like the X ray machine that you got to stand in, you know, for various reasons, but you know, so you have TSC pre check and you don't have to do it, but if you get randomly selected, you got to stand in it. And I, I've refused before, but I, you know, you're very polite. You just go, I'd rather have the pat down, you know, I don't want to stand in the thing. And they just make it such a big deal that you're like, if finally, after a few times of me saying no to it, finally I'm like, I'll just stand in the. Man, I'll just take the radiation. Just hit me with it, you know what I mean? I don't want, I don't want you.

[95:20]
Unknown
It. So MySpace launched in 2003. By 2006, it was the most visited website on the planet. And then by 2008, Facebook had passed it. And I read why they thought that was. And MySpace executive said that they had a three year advertisement deal with Google for $900 million and said while it was a short term cash windfall, it handicapped them in the long run because it required MySpace to place even more ads on its already heavily advertised space, which made the site slow, more difficult to use, and less flexible. And MySpace could not experiment with its own site without forfeiting revenue while Facebook was rolling out a new clean site design, which is kind of talked about in Social network.
[96:06]
Yeah.
[96:08]
Ryan Seacrest
Wow.
[96:08]
Trey Kennedy
Interesting. Because, you know, the MySpace guy, he sold and he just. He got out. Yeah, Tom. Yeah, he just went and he's just like, traveling the world, taking photos.

Ryan Seacrest
So you like that.

Trey Kennedy
That was popular. Me and them.
[103:43]
Unknown
Extremely, extremely bad. And I heard that it was like, it became popular in high schools, too. I can't imagine how bad it is for high school to have just an anonymous place where you can just say whatever about.
[103:54]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah, because the way it worked is you would. You would read them and you'd either up or down vote it. So if the top. You'd load it and it'd be the top post. So it's just a bunch of people around being like, we hate this guy.

Unknown
I think probably way more than that because what does. Do you have? What, like what Messi has?
[111:19]
Trey Kennedy
Messi's got Ronaldo.
[111:21]
Unknown
Ronaldo has 647 million.
[111:23]
Trey Kennedy
That's insane.
[111:25]
Unknown
Messi has 504 million.
[111:28]
Trey Kennedy
Geez.
[111:28]
Nate Bargatze
I mean, when that many followers. I mean, it's. It's really funny because you, you have to go like, you really can't just post something.
[111:37]
Unknown
No, you can, like, influence world whole economies.
[111:40]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, yeah, it's. It's. Yeah, you have to kind of. And it's. Yeah. I mean, that's so crazy.
[111:47]
Trey Kennedy
Do you remember years ago, Kylie Jenner did some offhanded little tweet or something like, does anyone use Snapchat anymore? Lol. And their stock price tanked that day. So I'm sure she had a talk with her team. But it's like they, they do have that in impact. It's frightening.
[112:03]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. That's insane.
[112:04]
Unknown
And she knew what she was doing. She had shorted the stock.
[112:06]
Ryan Seacrest
That's why I could.
[112:07]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah, I could see her doing that.
[112:09]
Ryan Seacrest
That's why I can say the things that I say because nobody's listening to me.
[112:12]
Trey Kennedy
Right.
[112:12]
Nate Bargatze
That's great.
[112:13]
Ryan Seacrest
I can call everything a scam because nobody cares. Yeah, like. Yeah, like that.
[112:18]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[112:18]
Ryan Seacrest
I mean, he's about to lose his biggest following.
[112:20]
Nate Bargatze
It's crazy to think, though, like, if you got Ronaldo or Messi, some of these guys. So if they, if they became more like Dusty, I mean, you're in some big trouble.
[112:32]
Ryan Seacrest
They would change the world in a positive way.
[112:34]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. Yes. They would change the world a positive way. But you could be in some big, big trouble as, like, because it's just too many.
[112:41]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah. They would delete their accounts right away.
[112:43]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, yeah.
[112:44]
Ryan Seacrest
And shut them down.
[112:47]
Nate Bargatze
Man. That's pretty interesting.
[112:48]
Ryan Seacrest
Yeah.
[112:49]
Unknown
So Kylie Jenner had the most liked Instagram post ever. It was a picture of her daughter. This was in 2019. And then an account, world record egg posted a photo of an egg with a specific purpose of. Of getting more likes. And it did it.
[113:04]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. Was that with Tank Sinatra, you know, in. No. Tank. No.
[113:10]
Unknown
Tank's a fan of you. I see him. Comment.
[113:12]
Nate Bargatze
No, yeah, I know Tank. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's great. I thought he did the egg thing. He does Influencers in the Wild.
[113:19]
Trey Kennedy
Right. Which is incredible.
[113:21]
Unknown
I think the most the followers on YouTube is Mr. Beast.
[113:26]
Trey Kennedy
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
[113:28]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[113:28]
Unknown
He dominates, man.
[113:29]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah. Where do you make the most money? Which one would you make the most money on? Like, if you told someone that was starting, like, someone. If someone's young and they want to be an. They want to be a content creator, where would you tell them to focus?
[113:43]
Trey Kennedy
YouTube. If you if you figure out YouTube and you're getting views every video, you'd like that. That's. You're making a lot of money.
[113:50]
Nate Bargatze
So you. So yes. If someone's young and they want to do it, it's like. And YouTube's probably. It's pretty safe, like as far as it not going away or anything. You know, it's like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. Seems like they can't go away.
[114:06]
Trey Kennedy
No.
[114:06]
Nate Bargatze
Tik Tok's a big.
[114:07]
Unknown
But your stuff can go away on that platform though. They have pretty strict guidelines.
[114:11]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, yeah, I get that. But I'm just saying if you want to hang your hat and really put in the work, you don't want to put it in to go because it's hard because like you get vine. Like, you know, everybody's like, oh, I just figured vine out. You said you had 3 million followers on vine. And then it's all new. You don't really know what this even thing is. And then they're just like, it's gone.
[114:29]
Unknown
Yeah.
[114:30]
Nate Bargatze
And then you're like, oh. And you got to be a real business that you got to go either. You know, it's happened with comics. Being Covid was a big thing with. Com like it was. If you didn't figure out how to keep going. A lot of comics people, it. It hurt a lot. A lot of people because they would. They stopped being funny and creating or whatever it was. So I would think that's how all that other stuff. So you'll be able to. The Tick Tock news. When you heard it, were you like upset? Are you just kind of like, ah.
[115:01]
Trey Kennedy
I'm just kind of.
[115:02]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah, yeah.
[115:03]
Trey Kennedy
What it is I do would say if it like events, if they were like Instagram's on shut down. I'd be a little more like, oh, I gotta figure some stuff out. But yeah, Tick Tock's so important. It's gonna affect me. But yeah, I didn't mean. Whatever. What are you gonna do?
[115:18]
Nate Bargatze
Yeah.
[115:18]
Trey Kennedy
And luckily, yeah, I got stuff moving, so it's fine. But yeah, it's crazy.
[115:22]
Nate Bargatze
Did it make you like with Tick Tock going away, it's like, you know, doing the live shows and doing that stuff is it. It makes you kind of dive into that more. Like you're like, all right, I don't want to be held because I what I love about stand up comedies a doing it. But it is. You're selling tickets. So. So what's great when I have it now even try to make movies or whatever. You're Trying to go do. You can go and go like, well, I've. My career is based off just people coming to see me and like you're in. Which is a. Such a. You're. You're able to like go like, well, I'm a direct right to this person.
[115:57]
Trey Kennedy
Oh, 100.
[115:57]
Nate Bargatze
You're not relying on.
[115:59]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah, well, yeah, that's 100. I've always done like well enough, which is great and grateful. But just relying on like, you know, McDonald's to call me and pay me, you know, it's. It's. I've been able to do it consistently, but that was never. I always wanted a thing. And so getting, trying the live shows and that, like enjoying that, getting that to work. It's a huge piece of money. I think if I didn't have that.
[116:21]
Nate Bargatze
I'd be like, I think life stuff is gonna be. I think that's life stuff is, is gonna just keep going through the roof and it's. And you're gonna. You know. Because I was like, I've been thinking about it a lot like. Cuz you're. It's. Everybody's like, all right, you look at like tv, Social media probably hurts TV movies. I don't think it, you know, people still like to watch a whole movie and be kind of taken it and a movie can take you out of it. But social media, all the times you would watch TV is usually you're eating, you're around the house, you're doing this, you know, all this kind of stuff. And sometimes people. Social media is kind of like taking the. That away. The kind of nonsense like just flipping and zoning out for a second and enjoy it all. Perfect. My whole comedy is nonsense. I'm not trying to say it's. There's a purpose, but it's so. But live stuff is now because you're. People want to go do something.
[117:15]
Trey Kennedy
Yeah.
[117:15]
Nate Bargatze
And so they want to and you can just go get to them. But it's like a weird. I don't think you can go down a road like a lot of like business in Hollywood or me. It's a weird thing that I don't think you can go down and like just completely jump on social media and be like, all right, we're going to just do this. That's a, That's a specific thing. If you, if you stop doing social media. If I was like, all right, let's go make something with Nateland and do something. I would pull you. I would be like, well, I want you out. I don't want you to. Because your brain for creating, for social media should be different. If I'm making a TV show with you now or a movie, like it should be completely. Because it's. The mindset is right. You know, it's like writing a joke. When you write a joke, you have an opening. Talking about closers and openers. You have an opening joke. It's. There's a one. It fits at the opening. You're like, it just feels like an opener. And so my mind works in that way for that. And then you have something at the end. It's like, well, it fits in this way. So if you're like, hey, let's do something, you're like, I don't need you to do it like that anymore. I need you to do it. But be creative in this longer kind of way.
[118:21]
Ryan Seacrest
Right.
[118:21]
Nate Bargatze
And I feel like they try. I think sometimes people try to combine, you know, they grab someone.
[118:27]
Trey Kennedy
Sure.
[118:27]
Nate Bargatze
That can't create, you know, can't do anything for a long time. And then they try to make them. Force them into a long form thing. Well, it's like, well, they can't. They. You're not training them to do it. You're like actually crushing that person that is a creative person. But you're making them do stuff that they can't, you know, that they're not trained to go do. Just like a lot of comics are not trained, you know, older comics especially, they didn't come up with it at all. We're not trained to go have great big followings because we don't are like, it just. It wasn't the mindset to go do it. But you got to be able to go in and out of it where you have to, you know, your mindset's got to be kind of different.
[119:07]
Unknown
Yeah. I mean, it shifted now, but. But Aaron and I have had these discussions before. I still have the mindset that TV is the biggest thing you could do. Get a sitcom or something like that. Whereas you've pointed out numerous times there's so many bigger platforms online social media, that's obviously a much bigger deal than any TV show.
[119:26]
Trey Kennedy
You could have 100. Like, you know, we're get. My PR people are trying to set up a bunch of stuff and they're hitting me with this or that opportunity and some like, whatever national TV news thing, like, all right, that's good. But like being here.
[119:39]
Unknown
