[C]

Aaron weber.

[B]

Dusty slam, And Nick.

[D]

I think we have one more Nate Barget.

[C]

All right.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Switch up.

[C]

Go Jackets. Go Jackets.

[E]

Okay.

[C]

All right, we're doing. Let's go. We're doing it. Yeah. All right. Hello, folks. And hey Bear. It's very fun. Welcome to the Nae Land Podcast. I'm Nate Bargetzi, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, and Dusty Slug.

[D]

All right. Okay. This is totally comfortable and normal.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

You did not. You were not with us. We did a live one before now.

[D]

I never did live podcast.

[C]

Yeah, it's pressure.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

You got to get laughs. Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

You've never done one live, you know, not this one. Yeah.

[C]

You know.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

But, you know, how long would your live podcast be?

[D]

Well, if it were by myself, I mean, it could go on and on there. Really, if there's no pressure to get last. If I could just talk.

[C]

Yeah, we need to start at 4:00'. Clock. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Well, we usually get into where we were this past weekend, and we can certainly do that, but I also wanted to talk about where we've been for the last five and a half years.

[E]

Oh, look at that.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

That's very sweet.

[C]

Yeah. Well, which one do you want to do first? Because you Just brought up both. I could talk about where I was. Go ahead, go ahead. So, because it was very fun this weekend. We were in Eugene, Oregon. Yakima, Washington.

[B]

All right, we did this.

[C]

No. Missoula, Montana. Billings, Montana. And then Bismarck, North Dakota. But the. The. The reason I bring it up, we were in Montana. So I have. So there's a story. I. I don't know if I've told. I'll tell it here. We might have a video where I told it on stage in there. But. So when I first started. When I first started comedy, and I was, you know, I lived in New York, Tennessee license plates, and I was trying to keep them. I didn't want anything to be New York. Not against New York, but I was just like, I want everything to be Tennessee. And so I would have to drive down once a year to go through marta, like a car inspection to keep that license plate. So this is when we first started. So I would do gigs, like these weird gigs. All those gigs that you get like a hundred bucks and you might grab a couple of them to try to pay for gas on the way home. This is. I mean, over. This is 20 years ago. So I remember doing a gig in West Virginia, and it was West Virginia. It was at a place. They rang the buzzer to get in so the whole show would be interrupted by, you know, like a buzzer at, like, a restaurant. Like when there's, like, it's real loud and it's a, you know, like, your table's ready buzzer. No, no. Like when someone's, like, delivering something and they ring that loud buzzer, and it's just, like, very loud. It was that. The whole show, and it was because they were having a dance afterwards and people were coming for the dance. No one wanted comedy. The owner was like, oh, let's start. And he did not ask any of the people who were upset.

[D]

Like a grown people dance.

[C]

Yeah. It was already kind of weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[E]

A middle school dance.

[C]

No. Yeah, yeah. It was like a grown people dance.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

And it was like, for that. Like that.

[D]

Was it some real West Virginia stuff?

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then. Because I feel like that's West West Virginia when you. West Virginia is one of the most beautiful states I've ever driven through. And then. No, it really is.

[E]

I'm not gonna stop, but I will drive through it.

[C]

Well, I'm saying that was my joke. The point is, when you stop, it gets a little different. But it's. But driving. I mean, I don't. It might be one of the prettiest things. No, I am. So we. I stopped. We're doing this show anyway, so, you know, the show's terrible. I'm three years in comedy, so I. I go on first. And then the comic that was with me, I asked him, I go, what do you want me to say when I bring you up? So, you know, I don't know if you all know, but you say, like, credits. Like, the one used the most is like, this guy's performed in colleges and comedy clubs all over the country, but please welcome Brian Bates, somebody. And then I just said that as an Nate.

[B]

I think you mean the state.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

He's not even supposed to be up here.

[C]

Have you done a college?

[B]

Well, yeah, you've done.

[E]

You've done colleges. Come on.

[B]

Colleges. I've done two. They didn't go well because I was older than their parents.

[C]

So, yeah, This professor is pretty funny.

[E]

And.

[C]

So the guy told me, he goes, just tell him I've performed in almost all 50 states. So that was his credit. So I would say, this guy performed in almost all 50 states, and I'd bring him up. But I remember even. I mean, three years into comedy, I was like, that's so, like, weird of a credit. Like, I've almost performed in all 50 states. I guess at that point, like, we've all almost. I've almost performed entire world. Like you could. Because he didn't give a number. He wasn't like, I'm at 25. Yeah, yeah. It's just a random almost. And so I thought. I mean, I've thought about that my whole career. I was like, such a weird kind of thing. But in my mind that day, I thought, I want to perform in all 50 states. Because I thought even no matter all the stuff that is. That has happened where as my career and the stuff that is unimaginable, that I wasn't really thinking could happen, I was like, if I can perform in all 50 states, I'd imagine I'd be a working comedian. And that's at least the goal of what I was trying to do.

[D]

But even that is not really that good of a credit.

[C]

But I mean, it means you're.

[D]

Did it go well?

[C]

Well, yes, but I just. I looked at it as like, that means I'm doing this professionally, so if I could do that. And so that was like my first kind of like, all right, I want to do that. And it took, I mean, 20 years, but Montana was the final state. So now I have officially all 50. Yeah. Performed in All. And I. And weirdly, I think it means. It's one. That means it's like me. It's way higher than you would probably think of some of the stuff I've done. Because it just. I remember it was like, just, if I can do that. Because your goals are not, you know, Bridgestone and Madison Square Garden. I mean, you're just kind of like, if I. That's a working comedian. Like, that's a guy that's like, I don't have to go back to a regular job. I'm actually making more money than I'm making waiting tables or whatever. So that's why I bring up where I was. So I'm officially done with America. So now we're going to Middle east. And I've done almost Middle East. I've done more than you think. Where.

[B]

Hey, camel.

[C]

Hey, Camel. Hey, Camel. Hey, Camel. Yes. I got a podcast.

[E]

Yeah, that's good.

[C]

The podcast Nae Land Podcast is still going on in the Middle east, and it will. I have different versions of these. These guys. Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

The version of me is not allowed to have opinions.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

Oh, man.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. Dusty is the. It's the opposite. So Dusty's a woman on that podcast and she hasn't talked. But so. But that's their conspiracy theorist over there. Yeah.

[E]

Sandy Slay. Is that funny? Sandy Sanity in the middle. In the Middle East. He's Sandy Slay.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. I don't wanna. Yeah. The last podcast is where we get. I get canceled because I. Cause I gotta sit next to Sandy. It's a top. I do not agree with that.

[E]

It's a topography joke, dude.

[C]

I bet it. I bet it could be taken a few ways.

[B]

And, Aaron, you were in Canada this weekend.

[E]

I was in Canada. I'd almost done every country.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[E]

I've done two, but it was great. Shout out to Canada. Yeah. It's tough that there was no full circle moment while I was there, so it's tough to follow your story. But I was in one day.

[C]

You will.

[E]

Yeah, thanks.

[D]

But it was your first time in Toronto, right?

[E]

First time in Toronto.

[C]

That's big. All right.

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Toronto's hard to get into.

[E]

Hour and a half.

[C]

Flight. Yeah. It's closer than you think. Yeah.

[D]

I was off this weekend. I could have been working, but I was there.

[C]

It is. Could have been. Don't judge him. He chose it.

[D]

I could have been, but I was off. And it was great. Built a fire with my family. We burned a lot of sticks. I had to wear different jeans because my Other smelled like a campfire and I didn't want to do that.

[C]

From when? Like tonight?

[D]

No, not tonight. Listen, you don't wash the jeans. Really? You get. You know, you gotta just hang on to the. If you wash them, they're ruined. Everybody.

[C]

I wash jeans the most. I think I've heard that. But I wash jeans.

[E]

We talked about it before. You put them in the freezer.

[D]

Put them in the freezer.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

You don't wash them. Once you wash them, it ruins them.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

Try to get ice cream out of your house and you just gotta be going through size 32s.

[E]

They're not 32s, I'll tell you that. 32 inseam, maybe.

[A]

But.

[C]

Is that where you get dressed in your walk in cooler? You just have. It's like. That's word. Your closet would be there. That would be perfect.

[E]

Oh, that's the dream. That's the dream.

[C]

Just to fully get dressed in a walking.

[D]

And you wouldn't be sweating while you're getting dressed.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

All right.

[C]

Where were you at?

[B]

I was in Snyder, Texas. I drove.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. Easy to drive.

[B]

No, I did not drive, but I was in Snyder, Texas.

[C]

Is that a city they invented? I'm joking. It's a big city. It's tough to get into as well. Yeah.

[D]

Do they make the pretzels there?

[E]

Oh, that's a good question. Snyder's pretzels.

[B]

That's in Pennsylvania. Pretty sure.

[E]

Oh, of course, of course, Greg, Pennsylvania.

[B]

There's your hat over.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

All right.

[B]

That was the camel guy.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

So for where we've been the last five years. Yeah, we started July 8, 2020 was the first podcast.

[C]

Yeah. Harper's birthday.

[B]

Harper's birthday. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. There's 13 now.

[B]

She turned eight the day that came out. Yeah, it's crazy.

[C]

You know, I didn't celebrate her birthday. I started a podcast and it makes sen.

[B]

Funny thing is.

[C]

How was that, Covid? I don't know. I'm sure that'll be brought up the rest of my life.

[B]

Harper and Aaron are the same age difference as me and Aaron.

[C]

Oh, really?

[B]

Just 20 years apart on all of us. All right, so it's not that funny.

[C]

20 years apart.

[B]

So you were doing theater. So you were on the Good Problem to have tour.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And then Covid hit and shut everything down. You started a podcast.

[D]

Kind of a weird tour name for getting shut down for Covid.

[C]

Good problem to have. Yeah, yeah, it was. We were in it. We. That was like, where I have footage. All this. We like. We're going through one day, I would like to show, like, we have. I mean, the day it was happening when the NBA teams were getting canceled and, like, because we were driving. I mean, it was funny, though, because everybody, you know, everybody's really worried about COVID and, like, on the news and also, like, don't talk to him. But I mean, I was doing meet and greets. Heavy. Like, hi, I did meet and greets that night. That Covid could exist. It was the opposite of what the news said, dude. I was like, well, I just met everybody.

[B]

But you were just doing little bitty theaters then.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, yeah. Thousand seat theaters, stuff like that. Yeah. I'm joking.

[B]

[E]

Wow.

[B]

And you got married and had a baby.

[E]

Wow.

[C]

Yeah. How about that?

[B]

Destiny, you joined May 2022. Episode 100.

[D]

All right. Yeah.

[B]

And when I first met you, you weren't doing this character. You were just. Yeah. So when did this start?

[C]

Well.

[D]

When I met you, I was doing the character. It took me a while to come out as myself. I was pretending to be a normal guy.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. That's fair. You put out two Netflix specials since podcast, Working man and Wet Heat.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Working Man's leaving Netflix soon. So go watch it.

[D]

It's gone.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

It's gone now.

[C]

That means you got it back.

[D]

Yeah, I got it back. I own it. So, you know. So I have it. Yeah, you can't watch it. But it's.

[C]

You gotta go to his house. Yeah, he'll show it to you. But it's fine. Look for the fire.

[D]

Yeah. And you had one child since the podcast? Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And now. And now what? Do you have.

[C]

Children?

[D]

Yeah, I have two kids.

[B]

You don't want to mention anything else?

[D]

Oh, but I also have another baby on the way.

[B]

Sorry, you didn't know that.

[D]

That's okay.

[B]

All right.

[C]

Those are Dusty's credits.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[D]

A lot of kids, I'd like to say.

[C]

If you notice, typical Nateland fashion, Abigail could only find three of the cups, and so I. I guess I get a bottle. So we stayed Nateland till the end.

[B]

That's right.

[C]

That's right.

[B]

Aaron, I brought you over here from the other studio, from the other room because I wanted to tell you about I.Q. bar.

[E]

[C]

Really? That's more than I would have thought.

[B]

I mean, half of them were from the cast of the Breadwinner, but still.

[C]

Yes. Yeah.

[B]

Two Dogs, his guest.

[C]

Oh, yeah. Oh, Holly and Philly.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

Yeah, Philly's doing great. I know. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We haven't. I haven't.

[B]

I should.

[C]

Yeah. Philly's been doing great fun. She's been at home, has not been back, has not been on the road with me. Harper got a hold of her, so it's been pretty tough, too. And Laura, every day goes two dogs, so. Yeah. So that's. But she's been great.

[B]

So. For the top three most frequent guests.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Number three, tie. It was a tie with seven times each. John Crist and Mike Vecchione.

[C]

Oh, wow. Yeah.

[E]

Are they here?

[D]

Couldn't be here today, though.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. One of them could have broken.

[B]

Yeah, that's right. You're right.

[C]

That's right.

[D]

Number two and one lives in town.

[C]

Yeah. Lives really close next door. Yeah.

[B]

Number two, appearing tonight for his ninth and final time, Nick Novicki.

[D]

Look at that. I'm gonna bow from my chair.

[C]

Yeah. You weren't supposed to talk.

[D]

All right, back to eight.

[C]

Back to eight. He's back.

[B]

And number one, most frequent guest appearing tonight for his 15th time, Greg Warren.

[D]

Wow.

[C]

15.

[B]

15.

[C]

15'S don't. That's too much.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think so, too.

[C]

I'll tell you what, 11, we were hanging on at the end.

[B]

11 was a sweet spot.

[C]

11 was a sweet spot. Yeah.

[B]

Huh?

[D]

I said it could have been me.

[C]

It could have been nine. Yeah, nine's perfect. Not. You're not.

[B]

You're not a nine guy. You don't know what it's like to go on for your ninth time.

[C]

A lot of pressure. Yeah. Tell them about the 10th time.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You don't even know.

[B]

At 11, it gets a little easier. And then 12. These guys are tough. So the. The guest that had by far the most views of any episode we ever had. We got a little clip to show the episode. Take it away. Where? Right here.

[C]

All right, this week, we are. I believe we have a ton of questions. We'll bring in the producer of this podcast. We have a very inappropriate relationship as a producer on the podcast, and it's not good for business. So we got Laura Bargetsu, Lara Bargetzi, or Blair. Lara. Blair. So my. Before I ever started comedy, when I told her I wanted to go do comedy, the whole beginning was you supporting me. Thank you, Laura. Yeah. Yes. I mean, as y' all mentioned, when y' all turned her, I could not do any of this without Laura. I talk like it's, you know, she being. It's great because we've been together before any of this. Like, I wasn't even started comedy. And so for her to come along, but even just the sport she is for how much I talk about Her. Her willingness to come on this podcast and everything else. And I love you and I. And we could never. I would never do it without you. And she's coming actually back on this podcast. Y' all's to prod. No, I'm joking. She'll tell you I fired her from producing. That's not true. But if you ask her, that's what she'll tell you. I had to set the tone quick at the NA Land company. I go, I'm gonna fire my wife first. And then everybody's a little on edge.

[B]

Yeah. The staff has grown greatly over the last few years. What you still don't have, though, is hr, and that's what I'm looking forward to.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

I got a big old file.

[C]

Yeah, Nick's hr.

[B]

That's right.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

You're all fired.

[C]

And I don't even think HR can do that.

[D]

Everybody here is. You're all fired.

[C]

How do you fire the audience?

[B]

Take it easy, man. Just take it easy. You are everything.

[C]

Laura's everything. Laura's getting the drinks and putting them all up there.

[E]

She would pretend to take our temperature when we showed up to your house in 2020.

[B]

Remember that? I forgot about that. She would go. If our sponsor was AG1, she would go get us all a cup of AG1 so we could drink it. So we could honestly say on the podc, we had our AG women.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[E]

Which is so good. And I use it every day. I don't have to hold my nose when I drink it or anything. It's that good. Yeah, it's that good.

[C]

Get all the vitamins.

[B]

We also want to thank some of our crew. Lauren. I'm sorry, Lauren. I can. Let's just say Lauren's not going to work anymore.

[C]

Boudoir.

[B]

Well, thank you, Lauren. Gregory Taylor, Chris Cameron, Abigail.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And Tristan. Thank you, Tristan.

[C]

And Tristan.

[B]

Yep, yep.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

These are the people that have been in the room with us every episode. It's us at the table, but then we're just looking at these people, so they've been. Every step of the way. All these people have been here with us.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

It's very cool.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, Tristan's with us now at Nateland, and then Abigail, obviously. The other ones, we were like, no.

[D]

They bit too many people.

[C]

We can't take too many. Yeah, no, it was. No, everybody was. Yeah. I mean, from the. It is crazy. From the beginning, they were in charge of Aaron Land.

[E]

We got an Aaron Land video. We'll pull up real quick.

[C]

Nah, we don't have that. And, yeah. And, you know, am I. And to mention, the Abigail. My Abigail's done, she's loved this the whole time. She loves talking to you guys. I know a lot of y' all have talked to Abigail a lot, and.

[B]

She'S a nice buffer.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah, she does. She does a wonderful job of that. And so she's. Me and her exactly the same. So it's amazing that we've worked, that we still work together, because we're the same. So there can be some fights, but I love her. And again, she's been great, too. So that's awesome. Abigail. Yeah. My little Abigail.

[B]

All right, you want to get some of these comments?

[C]

Let's start it off with you guys. Comments. All right. Joyce Smith.

[B]

Oh, no. I told him, take that off. Joy. Joy could not make it tonight. She had some health issues, but.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Sorry, sorry.

[C]

Well, Joy.

[E]

Okay, get well soon, Joy.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay, so that's a tough. That's a tough comment to read it.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

And then I was gonna say, why does it matter? But then I read it.

[C]

Brian said her name.

[D]

Take that out all together.

[B]

Sorry, Joy. She'll be watching at home. Yeah, go ahead.

[C]

Yeah, we read her comment. Curious who is traveling the furthest for the finale. Has a new podcast already started?

[D]

You should say it.

[C]

Joy's asked. So Joy, if. If she could have made it, we would have loved to be here. She was. 1800 miles it would have taken her to get here. So she was curious who has traveled the furthest. Furthest. Finale podcast, anybody?

[B]

It's Natalie.

[C]

It's Natalie.

[E]

How far is Natalie? Driven? Flown. How far? Couldn't make it that last quarter mile up to the stage.

[C]

Oh, okay.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

That's greater. As far as their miles.

[B]

Yeah, that's right.

[C]

Where. Where are you from? 19. Where's 1900 miles away. California. Oh, yeah. All right. Sounds about right. I'll believe you. Yeah. Well, Natalie, thank you for coming. Serena. Charlene Lynn, where you at, Serena? I'm right here, Serena. Oh, yay. Hi, Serena.

[D]

I'm not used to the people being in the room that we're reading.

[E]

Yeah, I know. It's wild.

[D]

Pretty tough for me to trash your comment.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

Right here.

[C]

Yeah, I'm sure he'll find a way. We're gonna tell you it wasn't nice, Nate. There's so few public figures that are creating what you have, and I'm thankful to be a part of it. I have honestly felt over the last five years as if the band are my good buddies. Well, thank you. That's the. Wonderful. Thank you very much. That's the. That was the goal of this.

[D]

She don't remember. She don't remember writing that, though.

[C]

No.

[D]

She's like, I don't know.

[C]

I don't know.

[D]

I don't think that was me.

[C]

Yeah. She goes, that doesn't sound like me. Jody Whitaker. Before I discovered the Nate Land Podcast, I'd been to a total of one comedy show in my entire life. Last year alone, I went to 40 comedy shows and in 16 of those shows were seeing members of the band who I love and now call friends. I'll miss it, but I'm excited to see all the wonderful things Nate, Brian, Aaron, Dusty, and all the Nateland comics continue to do. Thank you, Jody. I've seen you at. Yeah. Where was one? DC10. DC was pretty far, right? Didn't you get em. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at us traveling the world.

[D]

All 50 states.

[C]

All 50 states. We've been almost. We've been almost. Angie Wilkinson, where you at, Angie? Angie, come on down. Oh, no, Angie. All right, skip this one. Yeah, yeah. Angie Wilkinson. I own a coffee shop slash bakery. People often ask to try our coffee before they order. Of course. That is crazy. Are you allowed to do that?

[E]

Can I get a sip of your dark roast? That's kick you out of the store.

[C]

Have some of y' all done that? I've never heard of that.

[D]

It is kind of like an ice cream sample, though. I feel like we've had this debate.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

You're against.

[C]

Don't you have to make it? Yeah, like. And then. Yeah.

[D]

Well, I could be in the urn. Yeah.

[C]

But of course we let them taste. But inside I may be rolling my eyes just a bit. Especially if it's during a rush and the entire line comes to a stop. Thoughts on this? Yeah, I agree. I don't. I think that's crazy. I think your boy right there, Nick Novicki.

[D]

I have tested quite a few coffees.

[C]

Yeah, he loves it.

[D]

Coffee today, the airport. Airport coffee.

[B]

After we got here.

[E]

Starbucks.

[B]

In a Starbucks. You've never had Starbucks before.

[C]

He hasn't. Nashville, airport, Starbucks. And he doesn't trust it.

[D]

Yeah, it was a new flavor. The whole coffee, the whole airport is the same beans, I think. Yeah, it's the same thing. There was something new today, Nick.

[E]

Did you have to determine if it was worth a lactate pill? Is that why you took a sample?

[D]

I took one just in case.

[C]

We got some donuts. Some of one of y' all gave us donuts.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Thank you. And we've already got into those. He brought extra lactate pills. He knew this night was going to be big.

[D]

But I want Angie to know I'm against it. She says, thoughts on this? I'm against it.

[C]

Well, yeah, I think everybody. I would imagine that's like something you're trying to be nice and then it just ends up like people start doing it and then you're like, what are we doing?

[D]

Yeah, just drink the coffee.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

You don't like it, don't order it again.

[C]

Throw it away outside and never talk about it again.

[D]

I think it'd be funny if Angie said no. They go, can I try a sample? And she goes, you looked them dead in their eyes.

[B]

No.

[D]

No, you can't.

[C]

I guess if it's like in a pot, you could say, you could have a sip.

[D]

I'll pour a little in your hand.

[B]

Wet heat.

[D]

That's right.

[C]

Wet heat. Yeah.

[E]

Wow.

[D]

Wet heat.

[E]

The crowd's writing great callbacks for us.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Kayla Lassiter. Eamon. Hey, she turned around.

[E]

Scale of 1 to 10, how correctly did Nate say your name just now?

[C]

Eamon. God. Delvin.

[D]

Wow.

[E]

So when you tell somebody how to say your name, you just say, ignore most of the letters in the name.

[C]

Yeah. Just how would you have said it, man?

[E]

It's tough to do with an audience.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

A Heman.

[C]

A Heman.

[E]

It's E. H, E, M A, N, N. Eamon. Okay, I'm sorry.

[B]

Get it right.

[C]

It's a family that gets.

[E]

You get one right in five years and you're pretty arrogant about it.

[C]

He goes, but maybe I've been right the whole time and we haven't had them here.

[B]

That's true.

[C]

That's true.

[D]

That's a good point.

[B]

Yeah. We don't know.

[C]

Thanks to a recent replay of the Florida episode, I was able to help my 15 year old son when he developed the devil's itch from a sunburn. I knew from Aaron's experience to give him Benadryl and have him take a hot shower. He only had to suffer for a little while instead of hours, thanks to Nate.

[E]

How about that? Helping people.

[C]

How about that?

[E]

Helping people.

[D]

That's what sounds like child abuse to me. Huh.

[B]

Dusty ever had the devil's itch?

[D]

Nah.

[E]

But you would. You would call it something else.

[C]

I would call it something else. But if you.

[E]

If you had it, you would go, this is from.

[D]

Gosh. Yes. Okay.

[E]

It's not saying it's a good itch, it's a bad one.

[D]

Yeah, Yeah. I wouldn't call it that, though. I'd be like, this itches pretty bad.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

That sounds horrible.

[D]

Yeah, exactly.

[C]

Nancy Hodges. Nancy, Hello. On an old POD episode, Nate talked about a guy who would always be in the same seat at a New York comedy club to help comedians laugh a lot, constructive criticism, etc. I remember Nate was sentimental in talking about the man. I've been wondering if he's still around, if Nate still knows. I do not. You know what I. Do you remember him? Yeah. What was his name?

[D]

There would be literally two people and he was the greatest.

[C]

The greatest.

[D]

No one knows his name.

[B]

I don't.

[C]

Yeah. We would really be a great reveal.

[D]

If he was here right now.

[C]

It would be awesome.

[D]

Let's bring him up.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. I. I feel like there's been times whenever. When I performed for one guy. The one time I performed, it was him. And because we would be at the comedy club and so when we started with, you know, me and Nick and Dustin Chaffin, and we're at Boston Comedy Club and Vecchion and we're, you know, people would kind of come and go. So that's like kind of how New York. That club ran. It would start at 8pm and just go to 2am and so you would just kind of. People would come for a couple hours and they would leave and then we would just kind of keep going. And so the younger comics, us would get up pretty late. But he was a guy that was. Had just the best laugh and would laugh no matter what and kind of with your jokes and like, it just was very. A cheerful, wonderful person. So you actually did get to go on stage and try your stuff. So. No, I mean, I remember him. I can't remember his name, but I like. Yeah, we. I mean, I think about him all the time.

[D]

He was a great guy. He was a great guy from this. And yeah, we talk about it. He was there late at night. Every night.

[C]

Every night. He would never just. He would wait till it end. He was. He was.

[D]

I'm kind of thinking he never had a job.

[C]

He might not. He might not have. Melissa Sedlak. All right, all right. Sedlik. Sedlak. Oh, yeah, both, I guess. Last year on January 20, I was in a medically induced coma after having emergency surgery. My Neyland hoodie had to be cut off. Man. And I missed watching my Buckeyes win the national championship. The podcast helped me get through this. Last year as I. I have adjusted to my new life, my family played it for me when I was unconscious. And once I was awake, I looked forward to watching while I was. While I was stuck in the hospital in rehab. Tonight I'm wearing my new hoodie and sharing this experience with all the folks. Thank you for all the laughs.

[D]

All right.

[C]

That's awesome.

[E]

That's awesome.

[C]

That's awesome.

[E]

That's very cool.

[C]

That's. Thank you for sharing that. That's where we cut that. We'll cut the sleeves off that hoodie.

[E]

That wasn't much of a game you missed, though.

[C]

The Ohio State.

[E]

Ohio State winning the national championship.

[C]

It'd be nice to see to win it, not be in a coma.

[E]

They beat the joke.

[C]

Sorry, Melissa. I'm Melissa. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Yeah, it's.

[E]

They played Notre Dame in the chat. That's what I was.

[C]

It was a great game.

[E]

It's wasn't the Reliaque Quest bowl, but it was pretty good.

[B]

Well.

[C]

If you joined a conference.

[B]

Aaron. I used to think I had a pretty good handle on my finances until I actually looked closely. One month, opened my bank statement, realized I was paying for multiple subscriptions. I didn't even remember signing up for some of them more than once. And that was my okay, I need help moment, right? So then I downloaded Rocket Money. Rocket Money. That's when I started using it showed me exactly where my money was going all in one place. And it immediately flagged subscriptions I wasn't using anymore. Being able to cancel unwanted subscriptions right inside the app was just a few taps save. With just a few taps, save me time and stop those charges from quietly draining my account. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. What I really like is how it automatically categorizes transactions across my account. Seeing everything organized makes it obvious where I've over I was overspending. And Rocket Money helped create a budget that actually made sense for me. So let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster. Join RocketMoney.com Nate that's RocketMoney.com Nate RocketMoney.com Nate all right, all right, so we've had so many great moments on the podcast over these last five years. We asked the folks to come up with their favorite moments of the podcast. And Greg, I believe you have a top 10 moments. All right.

[C]

Here we go, guys.

[E]

Can I ask Dusty, how does it feel? You love making lists. How does it feel to sit back and watch one that Somebody else has made.

[C]

Well, you know, there's a great chance you're not in.

[D]

Well, if Greg picked it, that's probably true.

[E]

It's all Greg moments.

[C]

Now. The problem is Greg didn't pick it. The audience picked it.

[B]

This list was compiled by the dumb, Dusty, dumb Dusty guy. He compiled this list.

[D]

Well, then it's all me then, because he's obsessed with me.

[B]

There's a guy that's like the dump Dusty guy on the consumers podcast. He's a little less eloquent. He just says Greg sucks.

[C]

Sorry about the language.

[B]

You said it in your special.

[C]

I said it? You're not supposed to say it. I said it. But you said it. But I said it the way that you're supposed to say it, how you're not supposed to say it. I guess we're rated R now.

[B]

It was in his special.

[C]

It was a family podcast till Greg got involved.

[B]

The family 15th time. Does it every time.

[C]

He does it every time. Yeah.

[B]

All right, we're going to start with number 10, Emu with a gun.

[C]

That was a very fun. Did we just. Is that it?

[B]

Well, number nine, last cross section of America.

[C]

Are they going this fast?

[B]

No, no. The last five we're going to dwell on.

[C]

Okay. Okay.

[B]

Number eight, nursing home French fries.

[C]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[D]

That's an all timer.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, gosh, that's disgusting.

[B]

Number seven, peanut butter salesman. Thank you.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Number six, Brian's big announcement.

[D]

He had a baby.

[C]

Yeah. That was a big one.

[B]

That was awesome. And I believe these five. We're going to show clips of civilian. Number five, civilian station.

[D]

I've never seen.

[C]

I want to believe in aliens because.

[B]

It shows that some civilization didn't blow.

[C]

Themselves up and were able to get.

[B]

Out in space and have some fun.

[C]

Is that a whole thing? Yeah.

[B]

You seen?

[C]

Yeah. So there should be other civilian stations.

[B]

It's one big happy civilian state. You're trying to say civilization.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. If Libya white. I'll take civilian station.

[C]

We want people to take us seriously. They got to take us seriously. I mean, I don't know. I don't think they're.

[B]

Oh, boy.

[C]

Maybe they. I hope something is called civilian station. That's what Earth is called. We are a station for civilians.

[B]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[C]

I think I'm ahead of the game. I. I feel like an alien talking to dumb because people make fun of what I say. I'm like. And I would just go, you're see, you're going to one day use this civilian state.

[B]

A Lot of weeks. In the comments the next week, someone will say, Nate was actually right. It's. He's ahead of his time somehow.

[C]

There's no such thing as civilization.

[B]

It's a conspiracy.

[C]

Has there been other civil civilizations? Has there been other civilian stations?

[A]

Is that.

[C]

I don't think it's critical comedy reaction. It's a meltdown. In all seriousness, though, is there. So there's been other civilian stations. That's what we're going to find. Where civilians have lived is what they say. And they're gone. I would think they're the argument.

[B]

The argument is the reason we've never found in all our vast searching.

[C]

Success, every need to step out sees some life out.

[B]

The argument is in all our searching of all the cosmos. One argument is maybe because they've long since destroyed themselves and they advance like we do with nuclear weapons or some sort, and then they eventually just kill themselves.

[C]

And so they. All right.

[B]

Look at Aaron.

[C]

Civilian station. It's. That's what we're going to call this episode.

[B]

Don't you think it's a good.

[C]

That's how to describe Earth.

[E]

Nobody's ever made that mistake.

[C]

Dribbling, vacation, civilization. I just kind of stopped. It was like.

[B]

He was at the.

[C]

Breaking point and that was the shove. He knew I was. It was like I was walking down the road. I looked the other way. Then I go, where was I? And I was. But I was still in the same word when all that happened. Wait till you're civilian nation. Things come out of your mouth. You don't even know. It's not my fault. I was raised. I was taught by humans.

[B]

What.

[E]

What I'll say about that clip. I don't know if you could tell from the clip that that wasn't the healthiest point of my life.

[C]

That's when you got it all started.

[E]

I was battling some demons. Yeah. But there's a point at the very beginning where Brian goes, aaron, are you okay? And I thought I was going to pass out. I. I had never felt. I got so lightheaded. I was. I think I'm gonna pass out on the podcast. That's how hard I laughed. And then like five minutes and I just. We weren't even done yet. And then like five minutes later, I'm just looking at Nate. I just started thinking about it again and I just lost it. That was the. That was the first time. It. I mean, I. There was no getting me back. I was out of it. And I was also. This is early enough that I was. I still thought Nate might kick me off this podcast at any point, so I was also like, am I ruining the episode?

[C]

Because I can't. You can't.

[E]

I was gone. You're like, no, that was great.

[C]

I said civilian station before he said it. Yeah.

[E]

But I was gonna let it. And then once he pointed out, I mean, I didn't register at the time what a crazy leap. Your brain, like, what misfired in your brain. I still will laugh about it occasionally if I think about it.

[D]

He was so serious, too, in the clip. I never saw the clip, but the way you're saying it, you're like, you're really going for it.

[C]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[B]

We haven't seen him since that day, but I'm told that Kevin Giada is here tonight.

[C]

Kevin. Where we at?

[B]

Kevin.

[E]

Incredible.

[D]

Okay. He is real.

[C]

Yeah. Kevin was our original Dusty.

[B]

Yeah. I want y' all to meet.

[D]

He paved the way for me.

[C]

Oh, yeah, y'. All.

[D]

He walked, so I can walk.

[C]

Y' all definitely need to meet.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

All right. Number four, first base. Base.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

But I mean, I stole a base once and thought that somehow the guy fouled the ball back. And I ran back first. It confused him so much. I was on second and I thought, oddly folded back. So I started. Ran back for about halfway there. He was like, throw it. Throw them forward to first. And I had to slide head first.

[C]

Into first base, back to the base.

[B]

And I'm back right where I was with the first base coach. He's like, what are you doing, man?

[A]

You were there.

[B]

I was like, I thought they fouled it. I thought they fouled it. I didn't know. So in a way, I stole two bases.

[C]

That's never happened before.

[E]

You're the only one. You stole a base. And he stole back.

[B]

The local. My first base coaches face when he saw me coming back there.

[C]

Oh, dude. I mean, just to be. Just to have to dive in, just to, like, you have to. You have to slide to fix a problem that shouldn't be a problem. Like, you're getting back to the original. You could be like, dude, you could just stay here, man. We wouldn't be going through this. And for you to get all the way to second.

[E]

That's amazing.

[C]

That's like. That's. I feel like with you, you end up anybody else, it's like, maybe you make it back to first, but you just go back to first and you're like, well, that was a stupid move. And you're the only one that gets in a battle situation just trying to get Back to the original spot. I mean it's a full on real play. I mean I went head first.

[B]

The ump had to call safe.

[C]

I think that was. Yeah. That was my first and maybe only time I laughed.

[B]

People, People bring that story up on the road all the time and it's about being so funny. But what makes it so funny is your reaction.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Wow. It's. Yeah. I mean, I. That was early on in the podcast.

[B]

Episode five.

[C]

Episode five. I. I know him just so well and so once he starts it, I can just picture him. And then I just. And I mean, I. I lose it just because.

[E]

Yeah. When. When you tell stories about your childhood. I'm just picturing you.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

As you are right now. Just like a smaller. But still.

[C]

I picture smaller, younger, but it's still. It's not. It's this.

[E]

His whole thing is still.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

How old were you?

[B]

I was a little league, So I was 10.

[C]

Yeah. Just 10.

[B]

11.

[C]

Something just. Oh man. Because I. I think I saw where it was going like right when you started it.

[B]

You laughed so quick. I thought I'd already told you the story.

[C]

No, no, no. I. I mean, I. I mean the picture was already drone drawn. I can't say drone. The picture was drone in my head, dude. I mean, I was like. Cause you're. It's like, it's what I love is like because when you've known someone so long and then they throw out a story that you just haven't heard. Nick's the king of this. Because Nick will throw out stories that I haven't heard. And I'm like, how have you never told this story? Which one of you know? I don't know. I don't know what the list is, but Nick has a good story on here too.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

All right.

[B]

I don't know either. Number three. Number three.

[C]

Yeah, that was a good one.

[B]

Well, as far as the bear attacks, it basically said don't do what you suggested. Don't try to run from the bear. Grizzly bear.

[C]

That is because no one's trying it.

[B]

They said they can run as fast as a horse. It doesn't.

[C]

It doesn't matter. It's. It's the.

[B]

Shake and bake.

[E]

Barry Sanders could evade a grizzly.

[C]

Yeah, I bet.

[D]

So I bet. Just could tackle it.

[C]

Now if you get.

[D]

But you tell me though. He couldn't die.

[C]

He's like a slurred sound like know drunk.

[E]

Dusty, you tell me best.

[B]

Are you drunk?

[D]

He could though.

[C]

Very sad. Look me in the face. You sound occasion right now in the face, you look me, Something's wrong.

[E]

B. Sanders.

[D]

I stand by it, though.

[C]

We didn't Barry Sanders tweet. Yeah, he tweeted it.

[E]

He answered the question.

[C]

He answered the question. Which is the closest we've come to Barry Sanders.

[B]

What'd he say?

[C]

But it was pretty cool. He said he agrees that he doesn't think he. He. Well, he doesn't think he could. He disagrees with us.

[E]

He was just being humble.

[C]

Yeah. He's not confident in himself like we are. Yeah. I still think Barry Sanders could do a couple jukes. You gotta just juke.

[D]

I think if the bear's standing up on its back legs, Barry Sanders comes right at it. I think it's going down.

[C]

Yeah, well, prime.

[D]

Prime.

[C]

You might be. Derek Henry would probably be more.

[D]

Well, yeah, but, you know.

[C]

Yeah, but. Yeah, yeah, but Barry, I think, is, like, as I picture running, it's running at it, and Barry's just been moved, like.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, but I think you could tackle him too.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I don't know why he's a running back, but.

[D]

But I guess you guys keep saying that, like, this guy's not super strong.

[C]

I think he's very strong.

[D]

Not built for tackling.

[C]

If we're talking about Lawrence Taylor, I would. Or, you know, Ray Lewis. Yeah, but I mean, I think. Barry, I always thought about the juking.

[D]

Yeah, I'm with you. I support it. But I. I still stand by it.

[C]

Yeah, like, he could tackle him. Yeah. All right.

[D]

If there were only a way we could see it.

[C]

You could try it. We have challenge time.

[B]

Number two.

[C]

Oh, yeah. There you go. Nate. The worst word I butchered while reading out loud was worst of or.

[B]

Nerves.

[C]

Or nerves. He. I pronounced it as ours. Devours. Probably got ridiculed by my friends. I'm curious how you're pronouncing it right now. I said horse divorce.

[E]

A horse divorce.

[C]

A horse divorce. It's been happening a lot around here. Horse divorces. What if you get a lawyer that looks like a business card? She do that? What do you do? I do horseback divorces.

[B]

Oh, specialize.

[C]

Specialize in horse divorces. Do they get divorced a lot more than you think. Imagine what. What do you think it is? And you go, I think it's zero. And he goes, it's every one of them. There's not one horse that I've met that stays along with his running mate.

[E]

They're all so unhappy.

[C]

They're all so unhappy. And I deal with horse divorces. I got more than I want. And then someone Comes over and gives him some caviar, and he goes, oh, thank you.

[B]

Force.

[C]

Divorce party. Upscale. Upscale. Hours devours. You know, if you don't say, what is it? Or hors d'.

[E]

Oeuvres.

[C]

Hors d'. Oeuvres. How did it get to that? You think anybody says that word correctly the first time they see it?

[E]

There's not a chance.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

And even if you know it, you don't see that in your head when you say hors d'.

[D]

Oeuvres.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

You know, nobody does.

[C]

Horse about to say Brian.

[B]

I was gonna say I can see how he Hours devours. I could kind of see that leap. Horse divorce is a little more Horse devores.

[C]

Du. I guess Duvray. I could have said horse d. Du oeuvre. Horse duvres.

[B]

Excuse me.

[C]

Would you like any horse duvres, please? I will. No. Mind if I do.

[E]

As a waiter at, like, a fancy event. Walk around some pigs in a blanket. I tempt you with some horse diboires.

[C]

What's that? Horse devouret.

[E]

Is this horse?

[C]

No, no. Pigs in the blank.

[B]

What do you need cutlery for this?

[C]

What's the matter? You don't need any.

[B]

Yeah, cut Larry.

[C]

Cut Larry. You don't need. Cut Larry for this. This is horse divorce. We got it going here. This is civilization. Just add every. You can almost make that a whole sentence.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Horse divorce, cutlery and validity.

[B]

Val, what was it you said?

[C]

Yeah. Fell into the bit of validity. Espagal. What's that? What's the Mary Poppins song? I knew I was saying it.

[E]

That one.

[C]

I knew I was like some reason the right words weren't coming. And then I thought, well, let's just.

[E]

See what words part at the end.

[C]

Yeah. Forced him. Just seeing a horse in court just sits there. Both.

[B]

I know.

[C]

We want to look at every judge. Why is the long face? All right. I always start like that. What's the problem? Just wouldn't be. Name me anymore. Not jokes like that. That's what the law. The lawyers have a good time. It's a good. It's a fun place to be and a horse divorce to go on there.

[E]

Horse divorce court.

[C]

Horse divorce court. And they go in there and they bring in the little.

[B]

The ponies.

[C]

The ponies. And they're just sitting there. Branding them. Golly. One shows up with a bunch of brands all over him. Go, boy. This one's trouble. Look at all brands he's got. He's got a bunch he's got. He's all branded up.

[E]

I love your night. The 90s outfit you had on, Brian.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Playing in Hollywood. That's what I thought it looked like someone that we, like, were like, hey, we got a special guest on the podcast today. And br. And you showed up and you're playing it odd from the 90s.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You're playing in Hollywood thing.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Horse divorce.

[E]

I can't even think of what number one would be.

[B]

I know what it is. Maybe number one, the grand champion.

[E]

I've been to some bad. Some sad zoos. I haven't been to any really good ones.

[C]

What's a sad.

[E]

I went to one in Arkansas that was just. There's just trash in every. A lot of trash.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

And.

[E]

And the saddest part was there's like a penguin exhibit in the summer. So it was just these penguins all hover, standing in front of the fan and this. Except it was just. I was like, what are. Why are they here?

[B]

How do you say it?

[C]

Yeah, penguin.

[B]

I say penguin.

[C]

I say penguin.

[B]

Penguin.

[E]

Penguin.

[C]

I mean, that's not like the guy that we would run that penguin. Hey, what do you got going on here? And there's penguin. I got a couple penguins. And we got bought. Put a couple penguins downtown. But the other day, the other night, I bought a couple penguins. You would seem like a guy that. Someone that says, like, that sells penguins to zoos that are kind of under the radar.

[E]

How are you supposed to say it?

[C]

Penguin.

[E]

Penguin. I mean, that's what I said. P, E, N, G, U, I, N.

[B]

You're saying it like an A.

[E]

You're saying it like an I, E.

[B]

Because I was saying yours should be P, A, N, G. I mean, can.

[E]

You look this up? Can you look up the pronoun? I mean, this might be when Brian had the computer. How crazy. Yeah. We'll get the results in 10 minutes. March of the penguins.

[C]

I mean, I would like to say if two people in this room.

[E]

How does Morgan Freeman say it in.

[B]

March of the penguins.

[E]

Penguin books.

[C]

Penguin. Hey, you got some. What are you selling that. Got a couple. Nice box. That's how.

[B]

Usually Wikipedia shows you like the pronunciation.

[E]

Yeah, you could do if you usually.

[B]

If you just.

[E]

If you just type in penguin pronunciation.

[C]

Here's the. And say penguin. Oh, yeah.

[B]

Whoa.

[C]

You have to go.

[E]

I want to hear somebody who. I want to hear the legit.

[C]

One of those said penguin prostitution.

[B]

Penguin. There it is.

[E]

Well, yeah, well, click the. Click the. That button right to the right of it. Let's hear it. No.

[B]

To the right.

[E]

I know. Right? Directly to the right.

[B]

I don't Click, click.

[D]

Penguin.

[C]

Penguin. Penguin. Hey, we're both here.

[E]

Just like I said it now.

[B]

Penguin.

[E]

Penguin.

[B]

Slow it down.

[C]

Slow it.

[E]

Yeah, there you go.

[B]

Penguin.

[D]

It's not clear.

[B]

I think we're both thinking. We're saying they're right.

[C]

All right.

[E]

It has like a Yanni Laurel type.

[B]

Yeah. So you're hearing pangae.

[E]

I'm hearing penguin.

[B]

Cause I'm hearing penguin.

[C]

Penguin. Hey, how you doing? What do you got back there? Got a couple penguins. All white. Is it? I never seen one of those. It's all white. That tuxedo jacket on? No.

[B]

I did a.

[C]

How'd you get that one? He goes, where is it at? It's in the front with me. It doesn't get too cold. It doesn't need. It's 95 degrees in Arkansas right now. Yeah. Got a couple. How much they. Couple things. How much they go for 50 bucks? A guy like that wouldn't know how to set. Like, he wouldn't know that he could make money off of it. He go, how much you want for those 50 bucks? Get on there. You crazy? One of your rap. 25. Yeah.

[B]

Anyway, Penguin.

[C]

Penguin. Lots of penguins. And then they sell. That's a restaurant. You go, I think you buy one two pine one burgers. Go type in when you were typing that stuff in. X out of the lab. Go penguin P. Now P. I swear. Pr.

[E]

Yeah. Penguin prostitution.

[C]

Oh, it's a thing.

[E]

Penguin prostitution.

[B]

Oh, they want rocks more than sex.

[C]

Do penguins have. Oh, we shouldn't be talking.

[B]

This is what.

[E]

What did you podcast is off the rails.

[B]

I mean, that's the best thing you could hope. What do you think was going to be the guy down the alley?

[C]

I thought it could be something that has nothing to do with penguins. I thought. I honestly. I honestly thought it would be like, that's what they call some other thing. And then penguins are nothing, but it's straight up penguin. I got penguin problems. How much you want to. I love the guy selling that. Got a couple penguins in the back. One one's all black, doesn't have any white. Feet are blue. Is it? Let me see. Let me see. Is he kidding me right now? I'm trying to start my own zoo and I'd love some penguins. Is the thing that I think says something. I mean, I think that's what the guy says that wants to. Because if I get a couple penguins, I think we'll be. We'll be just right. $8 to get in that place, get a couple penguins.

[E]

The. The official pronunciation is how I was saying It. It was.

[C]

You know, no one says that.

[B]

So that's your worst.

[D]

I agree with Aaron.

[C]

That was it. The Arkansas one is the place that had in that had a penguin. Okay, thank. I mean, it's funny. He's like, you could have really listened to 14 of our episodes and really had it all because it's like they were all at the.

[E]

Yeah. It's tough that all our best moments are from the first three months and then we kept going another five years.

[D]

Yeah. Really no reason for me to even join. I think all the best moments.

[C]

No, we actually needed you. Actually. You were up.

[B]

You. We need.

[C]

Well, you move with the gun.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

You were there for that one.

[D]

Yeah, I was in the room.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[E]

Sandals.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That peanut butter, like. Yeah, all that stuff.

[D]

It was all downhill after that. No, no, no.108, I think is where it started to tip.

[E]

It is 2026 and instead of going full new year and new me, I'm keeping it simple. Small upgrades that actually stick. Little changes that make everyday life better. One of the easiest wins for me this year has been upgrading my laundry routine with laundry sauce. You know, I love sauce.

[B]

Oh, you do?

[E]

And I love laundry. And I didn't expect this, but it's completely changed how my clothes smell in the best way. Laundry sauce is a premium.

[B]

It smells really good.

[E]

Thank you. Well, laundry sauce is a premium line of high performance detergent pods and laundry essentials infused with bold, sophisticated fragrances crafted by the world's top perfumers. It's honestly become my signature scent. In 2026. I never thought I would have a signature scent.

[E]

That's right. Now I got my entire closet. Smells incredible. The pre measured pods makes things effortless. No messy bottles, no guessing. Just throw it in there. The scent lasts. People notice.

[B]

So we've had many challenges proposed over the five and a half years. Most of them we've never done. Most of them involved you losing weight.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

About once every six months, Nate makes a rant slash proclamation that he's got a new weight loss thing.

[C]

Back and forth with it.

[B]

Yeah. Episode 52, you said you're starting intermittent fasting.

[C]

Oh, yeah. And. Well, that's when it was working for you.

[E]

It was working.

[C]

He was doing.

[B]

You were doing four hours of eating. 20 hours.

[D]

It didn't stop working, right?

[C]

No, it.

[E]

It works the whole time. I stopped doing it.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

So it's tough to blame the Internet.

[C]

When you look at you. You lost a ton of weight in this podcast. Like, again, from the beginning, where it looked like it was. You and Dusty were already there.

[B]

And.

[E]

That'S me.

[B]

Episode 81, you and I had a challenge to see who could get down to 165 first.

[C]

I beat you.

[B]

Yeah, you did.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And Aaron, we tried to get in on that. If you could get down to 200 before we could get to 165.

[C]

That was the. Yeah. Hello, World War I reason period there, where you had the hello World Special. And that was. That was like. I got very dedicated. That was like, right before it all. Like, after that, like, where it was like, all right, I could do that. I was touring and all that stuff. But then you started. Then after that, from here, it's been getting busy, like, even outside of touring, So I think it's been harder now.

[B]

And then a year ago this week, it was the new year, and you said, I gotta do something. So you set a goal to get down to 20% body fat, and you had a whole donut eating challenge with Eric that you told us about for some time.

[D]

Oh, yeah, I remember that.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

Eric has to eat what? Yeah, a bunch of donuts.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I was with Air Eric because I think we talked about it last week or something like that, or. And then Eric, he was like. Because he kept getting hidden up. Everybody hit it. And he was like, were you talking about the donut thing again?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And I gotta think so.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

But he never had to eat the donuts, though.

[C]

He never did. No, he never did.

[E]

Nate spent more time talking about it than doing it.

[C]

Yeah. I got. Welcome to life. That's what my whole life.

[B]

But you know what, though? It was as I went through today, looking through these and all the people who emailed us, you know the episode of the Office Scott's Tots.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Where very cringy. But at the end, the kids say, hey, because of you, I graduated high school thinking this was gonna happen so many People emailed, said, nate, because of your thing, I've lost this amount of weight.

[C]

Oh, wow.

[B]

Even though you never did it, they did it.

[C]

So there they go.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. We're here for you.

[B]

Yeah. There was a Nate Dusty swimming competition. That's never happened.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. So. Yes. Bring it on. The crew. I know we were thinking about the cruise, but I think that those pools are tiny.

[B]

Yeah. It's okay.

[C]

Doesn't care. It's all right. Yeah. Maybe we do it on a good wheel.

[E]

Can you do a good flip and kick off the wall and come back?

[D]

I think so.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

You sound like you've never done it.

[D]

I mean, I bet I could do it, though.

[C]

Okay, we'll see. We do it on the cruise.

[E]

Do it in the ocean. Yeah, why not?

[C]

Wait. Oh, yeah.

[B]

The Gulf of America.

[E]

You're like, where are we gonna find the water to swim in? I don't know.

[C]

Well, I got. We get off. I didn't think about getting off.

[E]

Yeah.

[C]

Are you gonna have a swim to the boat.

[E]

From the port?

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. We could do it in the ocean, you know.

[D]

You know, I'm not. I'm down. But I've not been training to be swimming.

[B]

Oh, boy.

[C]

I haven't been to training. We're to swim. No. But I still say we. We have challenges. We've had some. I. I'm still not against. We're. I think we will do them. It will be on Yalls podcast. But the challenge could come back to play.

[D]

The. The original challenge, though, I just want to say was Brian said he could look like a professional soccer player.

[E]

Yeah. Which is. I don't think we fully appreciate how ridiculous that is.

[D]

That's what I'm saying. I think I could look more like a professional swimmer than Brian could look like a professional soccer player.

[B]

Yeah. My argument was I could blend in out there. Just walk around in the middle a big field. You've got to take your shirt off.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I mean, that's ridiculous.

[D]

I don't know. I think I could do it, though. I look like, you know, I got a little slack with it. But I.

[B]

We've got the. Aaron and I are going to do a golf challenge. That's still the.

[C]

That's still going to come. We're going to do. We have John Augustine, who is our first guest, first ever guest is here. Where's John at? I don't know where John.

[E]

Professional golfer John Longston. He left.

[C]

He left a while ago. No, he's back there.

[B]

There he is.

[C]

John Augustine, still a professional golfer. A First guest.

[B]

He.

[C]

He's. Yeah, he's going to come out. Cuz he said he would caddy. Yeah. And he. For whoever has the. Is the under underdog. Which is. Which he. Which he does. John said he thinks Aaron, he's like, how do you caddy for a guy throwing a ball? Yeah.

[E]

He's nothing to carry. I guess he's just offering to hang out all day.

[C]

Yeah. Well, throw it. He'll tell you to throw it like against this so it rolls.

[D]

Have a little tube of icy hot that he rubs on your shoulder.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, I need it.

[B]

And go get you snacks.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

But we did have one challenge that we got to the bottom.

[C]

Yeah, we did. We got to the bottom of it.

[B]

Let's take a look.

[E]

If I could. If I could throw it, I could get.

[C]

Full. A golf ball, full length of a.

[E]

Baseball on a roll. Not carry, but 350ft. Yeah, but it could. It would roll. That conversation warped and it was manipulated by Nate over time. And basically it became not about Brian at all. It's just became about whether I can throw a golf ball 100 yards, including a rope. And I thought, I think I have a decent shot of getting there.

[C]

If I can get in shape and add some muscle, I think I could hit a whole lot.

[E]

If I hit the wall, you won't even really need that.

[C]

That's true.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

I've been talking all this trash for like over a year now, and now here we are. Actually, I have to do it. Usually you can just make claims on this podcast and nobody will ever expect.

[C]

You to follow through.

[E]

That's a one time.

[C]

Got it. You dessert.

[B]

All right. All right.

[C]

Bill, Rosanne, should I go again? Do you want to go again?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You think you know what you did wrong? If you do it straight down you go. All right, hold on. I threw that one down too quick. I threw it too. That landed in the outfield. Oh, that died quick. That died quick. Outfield. I'm more impressed than I thought.

[E]

Thanks, man.

[C]

279. All right, look, I'm gonna. That's way farther than I think it's sa. I think it's.

[B]

We played a regular golf course. We used to be our hole number two, Brian.

[E]

But you'd still be back by the tee box trying to get.

[C]

I think that one will. I think we will do that one. But it will be on Yalls podcast. It won't be on this one.

[E]

I think this is proof of concept that it's not totally out of the.

[C]

Realm of possibility like you think you could get it.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

I think a few months of training under my belt, I think I can get along, probably.

[C]

Who do you. Yeah. You got to invent the person that trains for me.

[E]

This feels good. I'm not going to lie.

[C]

I think I would feel good.

[E]

I appreciate that, man. Thanks for. Thanks for making this happen. Thank you to the Nashville Sounds. Thank you, Brian. It's step one. Step two is playing Brian on a golf course.

[B]

Yeah. I have a strategy.

[E]

What's the strategy?

[B]

Just if your arms already give out, I'll just.

[C]

You've thrown me sick.

[B]

Yeah, you're done.

[E]

And I feel it. Shouldn't have thrown that last.

[C]

Gotta get on.

[B]

The ones that looked like they felt really good.

[C]

To be honest with you.

[B]

That's tough.

[C]

Come check us out on the road. Local high school baseball fields, everywhere.

[B]

This video is so misleading. It was so misleading. And I know they work for you and you paid them, so they have to make you look good. Give me a break.

[C]

It the reason I told you hits.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You got laughs. We were giving you laughs.

[B]

It's misleading. Laughs. I. I was.

[C]

Bates hit the ball great. Thank you. Bates did hit the. I mean, he really did. He hit the ball great. That first throws legit.

[E]

That's what I did.

[C]

And then the second one you threw was like, with mine. We were both me and you, and he got a lot farther than us, and then we had him flip and he threw back to home plate, and it actually went 350 as it hit the dirt and kind of went down. So. But it was, you know, that was 50, and it was 50 degrees outside. It was. I mean, it's recent, so who knows? All right, I believe it. Did anybody. Did everybody not believe it?

[B]

Yeah. I still don't believe it.

[C]

I didn't believe it. I didn't think you could do it.

[D]

But when people say the length of a football field, I don't think they mean 350. I think he made 300. Right.

[E]

Baseball field.

[D]

Oh, a baseball field.

[C]

That's a baseball field. Yeah.

[E]

So that whole.

[D]

But I thought the original thing was a football field.

[E]

Well, you learned the original thing doesn't matter at all because we'll talk about it for. For three years, and then it'll be a whole different thing by the end of it. And then Nate quits.

[B]

All right, I think we've got some questions from the audience from some super fans, but I'm going to turn it over to Nick. No, Vicki.

[D]

All right, we got some super fans here. So when I call your name.

[B]

Come on.

[D]

Down. And we want you to ask the question on the microphone. So I'm going to throw a couple names ahead so people just start coming down. Ryan irvin from nashville.

[B]

All right, Ryan.

[D]

Thursday, Followed by kim satowiser from urban iowa and candace goins defying alabama.

[B]

I think it's daphne.

[C]

Here we go.

[D]

So, Ryan, where are you?

[B]

Daphne, Alabama.

[D]

Ryan?

[C]

Daphne.

[B]

Ryan, are you here? There he is.

[A]

Whoa.

[D]

Let's get round of applause.

[C]

Thank you. So when the theme park opens. Amusement park, whichever you decide on. Yeah. If you each hypothetically had a ride or attraction, what would it be?

[D]

And, you know, maybe what would it be called?

[C]

But what would your thing be in the park? Yeah. Do we get to say what we think theirs would be?

[D]

Yes, definitely. Please.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Thank you.

[C]

So the. Yeah.

[E]

I want to be the guy that guesses your weight.

[C]

Yeah. That's a good one. It's not right, but it's like, you.

[E]

Know, I would make it fun.

[C]

Yeah. Well, I think you want to just sit down.

[B]

I want a roller coaster. I want a roller coaster that right when you think it's going to have fun, Puts on the brakes.

[C]

Yeah. And you have to get alf.

[B]

And then it's called break fast.

[C]

How about that? That's good.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Like, does it go fast and break.

[B]

Yeah. Like, right when you're taking off, it just throws on the brakes real fast, and you're like, that's. You know.

[C]

And then you just go back and get out.

[B]

I haven't thought this through.

[D]

Like, they give you a coffee right before. So you're on there with a hot coffee.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

And then they go, oh, we don't have any lids today.

[B]

Yeah, we got some wet heat.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Yes.

[C]

Gondola, man.

[B]

A gondola van.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I like that.

[C]

Yeah. What would I do in a gl. In a gondola? I think it would be low to the ground, and I think it'd be in a lot of people's way.

[B]

People, like, duck.

[C]

I think people would be really, like, why would they have it this low to their ground?

[B]

Table high.

[C]

Table high. And just frustrating. Yeah. I love that. Dusty. I think yours is definitely indoors.

[D]

Yeah. I'd like one that holds people's eyes open like this, and then I just make them watch videos of what's really going on out here.

[C]

I think you should have a moon one. You have a moon roller coaster, and at the end of it, you get there. They go, there's no moon.

[B]

It's a studio.

[D]

You get there and you hit a light and you go, oh, it's not a thing we could land on.

[C]

I. I don't know. I'm trying to think what I would have. Where I'm.

[B]

You should have your own theme park.

[C]

Making one. Yeah, I have the theme park.

[B]

Huh?

[C]

A penguin would be good. Yeah, I was. Civilian station. That would be. You should get sodas from. It's not a ride either. It's all the civilian stations you get sodas from. Did we tell the story about Nick? What Nick does. Did we. When Nick goes on roller coasters because he gets to. Yeah, we did tell it. I. Yeah, it is. Yeah. He's a line skipper. It's so great to be with y' all that you go, yeah, yeah. That's enough. There we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you.

[B]

Nobody appreciates this more than me because if you watch the podcast when he's on story number 10 that he's told before. Oh, my gosh. We know why it's called Hot tub time machine.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That's a great joke, though.

[B]

We've heard it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

20 times.

[C]

You should hear it more.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Greg Warren's riding.

[D]

Very intense. Very intense.

[C]

It's an old one. It's because you need. Yeah, you got. Oh, yeah.

[D]

Jerk your head back.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. I think that's it. You gotta get. It's a tent. And you go in and you go. Can you wrestle a separate 75 year old man? But that's what we say. We know you're not 75, but that's just because then you take them. Yeah. So it's. But they believe that you are 75. That's the hard part. When they see you, they go 75. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Peanut Butter Splash Mountain.

[C]

Peanut Butter Splash Mountain. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[B]

That's the winner.

[D]

But it sounds fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it does.

[C]

If you ever listen to Greg, Zach, Nick, you know. Yeah. Hey, Nick. Greg Warren. I'm. I don't know if you've met him, but he does stand up comedy. All right, all right. So thank you, dude.

[E]

Thank you, buddy.

[C]

Thank you.

[E]

Appreciate it.

[D]

Thank you. Hope that clears it up, Ryan. Next up, we got Kim Saddleweiser, Urbandale, Iowa. All right.

[C]

I wanted to know if we could meet neighbor Felix. Neighbor Felix? Oh, he's never been shown.

[B]

Just partial.

[C]

Partial.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Of neighbor Felix. Is Neighbor Felix here?

[B]

Come up.

[E]

He's real.

[C]

Walk up here just so for the video. Oh, they got him on the. Oh, they got. They were doing the half. This is Felix. There you go.

[D]

He is real good to see you.

[C]

Felix is now CEO of NAT Land for Me. And yes, all the stuff we. We have.

[B]

We.

[C]

We do have a lot of crazy. We have a lot of stuff in the works. And so Felix is, uh. You know, I love the organicness of all this. We were. We really were neighbors. Felix is very good. It was a. He's the consultant. In my joke about the consultant. And so it's all come together. And so, yeah, all the stuff we built, Ford taxes and the bigger thing. No, that's Dwayne. He's on the other side. Dwayne's the actuary. He was the consultant. So it's like that.

[E]

And neighborhood sounds like a real hoot, doesn't it?

[C]

We're good talk.

[B]

Thank you, Kim.

[D]

All right, so Candace going staffing. Alabama. All right, all right. Roll drive. I can't read. Wait, wait.

[E]

It's Daphne.

[C]

Alabama.

[E]

What were you saying?

[B]

It has to be Daphne.

[E]

What were you saying?

[D]

You could just ask her. She would clear it up for you. Daphne. So what's something about the podcast that.

[E]

Has surprised you that maybe you didn't expect when you first started?

[C]

I would say this right here tonight. The fact that y' all are here. The. That fact, it really. The idea of it was again, it was during COVID and you know the story of that, like, but it's like, I think as a comic, you want to be funny, you want to stay funny. I think being funny is a muscle. I did not want to lose that. And so that's when we started it. We liked. I liked the idea of Seinfeld kind of this show about nothing, just trying to be this, I don't know, break or whatever it is. And I. I mean, I. I think I kind of pictured this. I wanted this. I. I like. Because when we do all the Seinfeld references, you know, it's like everybody knows it. You can almost meet a stranger, you do a Seinfeld reference, and then you're kind of like, in with them or whatever. And that can happen with a lot of things. And so I think creating it when I really could never imagined it, being that I have done it for this long. And just you guys, like, you guys being there, coming here tonight for this, how quickly you wanted to come here tonight for this, that kind of stuff I could have imagined. The ones I've met on the road and all that, that's the stuff that I think I could not have imagined out of all this. So. But that's you guys. So thank you very much for all that, for you guys being here, for you. Folly listening and checking in and that, that's, you know, that's, that's definitely one me. Not as a. I, I did not think I would have done it this long either, but that might not be good. I don't know. I just did it because we started it for what we started for. Then I was gonna. I get back on the road. But I mean, I really, I loved it. I. I don't. It's not. I even want to stop doing it. I don't. I. It is just there's a lot and I hoped to be allowed to pop on their pocket. Like it's. I still love it.

[E]

We'll see.

[C]

But yeah. And then, you know what you guys following the other comics. That's another one. That's the, you know, there's. It's a big deal, dude. There's a lot of great comics and comics, you know, you know about them. You don't know about them, whatever. But finding the group and the comedy scene that we've even built here in Nashville. Nateland has become much more than just stand up, but standup is what I love. So, yeah, we have all these other podcasts under network. Just kind of how big it has gotten, I guess would be for me.

[B]

Yeah, I don't want to follow that. I mean, I was surprised when Dusty joined, but.

[D]

And I would say what surprises me the most is how what I think of as just regular ideas and thoughts they all think are so crazy.

[C]

Well, that's what makes it fun is like, is. And the reason Dusty was added, what I liked so much was that, like, that it was just fun. Like you're like, I don't know, man. I just. I'll talk to anybody and let's see where anything and everything goes. So that's when you were, when we added you on this. It was a big. It made it so. It just made it better. I was tired of them and I get it. You know, I need, I needed. Yeah, I needed a veteran episode 100.

[B]

About when you checked out. So it was good timing.

[D]

Yeah, yeah. Not a lot of top 10 moments after that.

[B]

But even the alternate.

[C]

I think they. Even with the gun is great. There's, you know what's funny is like the top 10 moments though. It's like when you. It's just because they were. We were just so new and it was just, just so ridiculous. And I think it's almost like stand up comedy. You know how like instead of comedy you remember your old jokes more than you remember, like your last special. Like because you, once you do a special, you Kind of. Kind of forget it and move on. But you remember the jokes that you worked on forever. And so I think at the beginning was like, that we didn't really know what this was. We were changing the podcast a bunch during it.

[D]

Like, what episode did you take the computer from, Brian?

[E]

Yeah, not 40 episodes too late.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, it was pretty.

[C]

That never made. That's. That was a bad call. My fault.

[A]

That, that.

[C]

That didn't even make sense why we did that.

[D]

Well, Aaron is very tech savvy, too.

[C]

No, it makes.

[B]

I'm very tech savvy. Yeah, I think I'm.

[D]

I think you're good. I mean, you're good. I'm not saying you're not, but I mean.

[C]

We could release a podcast with him just looking everything up.

[B]

Yeah. Well, I think the original plan was for me just to be like a producer, maybe not even in the room and kind of.

[C]

Well, I didn't know for sure. Yeah, we were. We were trying to see it was going to see how it goes. You are the guys that I came to. I did not ask anybody else to be on the podcast. And yeah, it was like, you know, because you've been a producer and it was that. And I kind of pictured that, like we'd come to you and go to that and like, because you're. You're great at, you know, those little one line quip, like that kind of quick stuff. And I know you're good at that. So I was going to put, like, if I was. I'm just trying to set you up in the position to where you're going to excel. Aaron, I knew the least about at the time. Just. I did. Because he was a younger comic. I knew that he was doing very good and funny and. And then, I mean, then we're all here in Nashville, but yeah, it was. Yeah, you look. Yeah, you looking this stuff up, too, is crazy local.

[D]

Not a lot going on.

[C]

I called you, but you didn't get service through your bunker, so. All right, all right, we got.

[D]

We got two more. We got Frank. Frank Caccavelli and Sharon Lloyd. So come on. Come on down. Frank from Danville, New Jersey. And Sharon is going to close us out. Frank, are you here? There we go.

[C]

Look at that.

[E]

There he comes. Thank you for your question, by the way.

[C]

Appreciate it.

[D]

Daphne, Alabama.

[E]

Daphne.

[D]

So we got Frank, followed by Shannon.

[B]

Come on.

[C]

How about a round of applause for Frank?

[E]

After all you've learned from the podcast, and now that you guys have traveled almost all of America, can you settle for us once and for all where you can find what is truly the greatest cross section of this country.

[B]

Cemetery.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

You say a cemetery?

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[E]

That's really funny. That's good, Brian.

[B]

Occasionally I get a quip in.

[C]

Yeah, that's where I brought you. Yeah. I don't. I mean, out of all the places, where would be the mix?

[B]

Dmv. That's a pretty good one, right?

[C]

Oh, we're not saying states. We're saying actual, like a place. Yeah, that's a place.

[B]

Aaron's named, like, six places.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

He's done a truck stop before. Ryan. A truck stop.

[B]

Convenience store. The mall. Gas station.

[E]

Gas station. McDonald's.

[C]

Bucky.

[D]

They do say gas station.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

A lot of demons in a gas station.

[C]

They do.

[E]

Who says it?

[D]

It's a hot spot for demonic activity.

[C]

I like that. They don't.

[D]

A lot is going on. A lot of coming and going. You don't know what's going on in there. It's passing through.

[C]

Wow. I like that.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

All right, so you got to be careful.

[B]

What should we do?

[C]

Because we need gas.

[D]

Well, you know, you get in, you get out, you don't hang around.

[C]

It's kind of. That's kind of the rock and the hard place, you know, because we're. We're not on board with electric cars. So then horses, I guess you gotta go. But yeah, you gotta go pray while you're there, though. Yeah. Yeah. She. She said Bucky's. I, I, I. Bucky's could be good. It's down here. But Bucky's could be a. That could be it. There's a lot of.

[E]

A lot of stuff going on.

[C]

There's a lot of stuff going on in Bucky.

[D]

I was anti buc EE's for a long time, but now I find surprising. Yeah, but now I find I'm like, I don't even need anything. But I'm like, let's pull in. Let's walk around.

[C]

Yeah, it's a show.

[D]

Just check it out. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. A theme park.

[E]

How about that?

[C]

How about that? A theme park could be Disney World. I hope it to be Nat Land. We're not there yet, so I won't be. But it's like a theme park. Disney World. That could be it. That'd be great, huh? Kings Island. I don't know about Kings Island. I mean, it is for us, but, I mean, I'm talking. I don't know if everybody's going to Kings Island. Maybe they should be Cedar Point.

[E]

These are all Nate's competitors.

[C]

Yeah. I'VE never been to Cedar Point, so. Roller coasters.

[D]

Talladega. That's what I'm talking about.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. I like Team Parker. Buc ee's. Okay.

[E]

Yeah, I'll take it.

[D]

The gas station with the good music. That was a great little. I like that little edit with him in the gas station.

[C]

What are you talking about?

[D]

He gave a monologue at the gas station and he's like, cross of America.

[C]

Yeah, that's the whole reason we're. That's the point of the question, like, is that he said that. I mean.

[D]

I'm just trying to do my part here. Cross section of Nashville.

[C]

Nick will be a ride. And it will be just meeting. It'll be meeting Nick. It'll just be a chair in a room. And you go meet. And you go meet Nick.

[B]

Parking garage.

[C]

Yeah, the parking garage. That's what I. That could have been up there for me. The parking garage story. That's one of the best stories I've ever heard.

[E]

That's great.

[C]

Yeah. Him meeting Leonardo DiCaprio was pretty fun too. You didn't know that?

[D]

Did not know who he was.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. He goes, all right, man, I'll see you.

[D]

He's wearing a hat.

[C]

Yeah.

Okay, you guys are all on the road together. There's only two hotel rooms available.

[C]

Who's rooming with whom? Oh, man.

[B]

I think Nate's got his own room.

[E]

That's exactly right.

[C]

I like that.

[D]

And I guess I sleep in the middle because you need the plugs for the. For the seat.

[C]

I mean, I didn't know we would solve that that quick. So.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

All right, so we're getting near the end here. We wanna. We've talked about the last few weeks a little bit where you're going, but kind of talk about your vision for the rest of the year since we won't be seeing you as much for yourself.

All right. Yeah. So we have a game show coming out February 25th. ABC. Greg Warren is on it. Joey McCall is on it. It's a Fun game show that starts February 25th. It was a game show that I kind of came up with on the road. So again, it's. I. It, you know, I. I want to make. I just want to make entertainment for people. And not that I'm gonna do it right or wrong. Like, I don't know if I can. Not all of it's gonna be good. Not as we. Whatever. I know I have boundaries in my head. I know what I will stay. What I like to try to stay behind. I want you to sit with your family and watch TV and eat dinner and it'd be a game show. And I want you to. We have the movie coming out March 13th. Thank you. Please go to that. That's, you know, everybody. They're all talking about. Movie theaters are dead in Hollywood. I. I still think people want to go to them. I know the. It's expensive. I know there's a lot of things. But I still believe that people want to go out and want to go do stuff. And I see it at the shows and so it, you know, getting to the experience and the idea of the theme park is the same way just to. I just want to keep the trust I think that I have with you. That's my main goal of this, is to just not break that trust. I want you to see, when you see Nate land, you can know what it is and you're not going to have to worry about it. And like, it's a. You know, we're not making stuff. I always say we're not. I'm not making it for kids, but I don't want your kids. I don't want your kids just have to run out of the room because you got something on. I think we can make a lot of things that can fit. So I. I'm heading more into that direction. I'm still doing stand up and I know I've talked about stopping that. I don't. I, I, It's. I'm not stopping it now. We're gonna do another tour. I don't. I think there will. I don't know. I, I said that. And then you go back and forth. I, I don't know. I don't know what. I mean. I honestly, I don't know what I'm being. You know, I mean, I just want to make it for us to introduce you to other comics, to try to help bring up other comics, other actors. Are there anybody. Just make them be able to have work and bring the excitement back. I love it. I love producing it and like, Writing it or, like, coming up with. I love all this so much. And so, yeah, that's. You know, it's hard to exactly say the plan because I just don't know. But that's what I think is the most exciting part. And so, yes. And I do think there will be a point where I will feel. I've always thought this from the beginning, because it's always like, you know, when someone says, when's enough is enough, and then. So I'm going. Until I get to that moment. I don't think that will be long gone. I'm not trying to go for something exactly, but it's like, I'm just trying to go to. I'll know when enough is enough. So we'll see where, you know, we have a game show, we have movies, a theme park, which is insane. This theme park is. It's like. Yeah, it's. It's. It's insane that we're even. It's even a thing to be talked about. You know, I'm. I'm someone that. I grew up here, you know? And again, this would be Just to say it to. If. To you or to your kids or for them to hear it. Like, I. Again, I come from Old Hickory. We do not have. We did not come from any. You know, I don't know. We just didn't. It was. We lived as normal of a life as you could live. And so to. For me to get to this point is. It's truly insane. But, I mean, yeah, if I can do this. If you can envision anything and get it in your head and trust and just follow your process. Follow what you think is right. The. The best thing I ever did was not. You know, there was moments where I felt I could have went another route or I could have gotten political or dirtier. And I. I don't even. You can go. If that is your route, then go do that. Have whatever your route be, that is. But for me, my route was not that. And there was moments where you just could see, like, man, it feels like it was taking too long. But I stayed the course. And since I stayed there from the beginning, I would just tell you if you know in your heart, if you're doing something that you're supposed to go do it.

[B]

Just.

[C]

Just stick to it, because it will. It just. It all comes, and it comes big, and it comes when you're ready for it. And I mean, yeah, it is one of those, like, if I can do it, I mean, there's no. I mean, you've Heard the words I've said. It's unbelievable that I could even be.

[D]

Everybody's like, how did this happen?

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I just want. If, you know, we have a lot of kids listening to this, and I just. Them just go do. Just. If you become obsessed, if you want to do something crazy, you got to be obsessed with it. Remember, no one cares if you're doing good or bad. No one really cares. They don't. But you got to care. And so you just care for yourself and you keep doing it, and then you can do really whatever you want to do. I shouldn't be here. So the fact that we are. I think all of us would probably think that. So, yeah, I don't know. But that's the. I don't know if that answered any of it. I didn't really know.

[B]

What was the question?

[D]

I forgot the question.

[C]

How much do I weigh?

[B]

Well, we're. The three of us are going to keep doing a podcast.

[D]

[B]

[E]

[B]

What was the worst?

[C]

I know.

[E]

Literally cannot say the worst ones.

[C]

Well, I always liked when y' all would. When you said Badland, like, when you guys, that kind of came up with that. But then it was. It's like. That's like a video game. That's, like everything. And I was like. I wasn't into it.
