- 1:45Speaker 1: There's nothing I love more than when brands make promises
- 1:48Speaker 1: early in the year and they stick to those promises.
- 1:50Speaker 1: And the fact that FanDuel looked us all in the

- 2:09Speaker 1: comment section of the YouTube, and now we're giving away
- 2:11Speaker 1: bonus bets courtesy of FanDuel.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Shout out to the boys. Shout out to the boys.
- 2:15Speaker 1: And I will say this, I got to be better
- 2:17Speaker 1: on my Plinko because I thought I figured out the game.
- 2:20Speaker 1: And the minute I figured out the game, the game
- 2:21Speaker 1: puts a little curve ball on me. Last week, I
- 2:23Speaker 1: wasn't great on getting the big numbers of massive bonus bets.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Now still free bonus bets, $ 100, the lowest it can go.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Got a couple of those. I want to bump those
- 2:31Speaker 1: up to a thousand this week. I got to be
- 2:32Speaker 1: better this week. So I want to apologize to the
- 2:34Speaker 1: people when it comes to that. Let's get to some callbacks.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody talking about Spooktober. Everybody talking about it.
- 2:42Speaker 4: The real tier ones know a Benny motherfucking Greenfield is
- 2:46Speaker 4: all time. That's from Joe D5S7T in the YouTube comment section.
- 2:51Speaker 1: There was a clip that we had that the boys
- 2:54Speaker 1: put out. I don't know who the F made it.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I'm not going to curse this early in the show,
- 2:58Speaker 1: but it was Ben Greenfield using a bunch of big words.
- 3:01Speaker 2: It kind of fades.
- 3:01Speaker 1: The audio comes down a little bit. Was that Sherman Young?
- 3:04Speaker 2: Who made that? Who made that clip? That's Sherman Young.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Who made that clip?
- 3:07Speaker 1: And it's Will, classic William Earl Compton III, mouth just
- 3:11Speaker 1: slightly open a little bit, digesting all of it. He
- 3:13Speaker 1: says all the big words, how it comes to your body.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Then he finishes it up with, Hey, you probably great
- 3:18Speaker 1: at chess. That to me was the epitome of what
- 3:23Speaker 1: busting with the boys is right there.
- 3:25Speaker 4: Like, hey, you seen Anthony Colangeli play football? Yeah.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Who you got this weekend?
- 3:30Speaker 1: What would you do? This one comes from Huntro69.
- 3:34Speaker 2: Grumpy cop here. The other guy is a phony. Whoa.
- 3:37Speaker 2: That's big. That is massive.
- 3:40Speaker 1: I didn't know that Bustin' with the Boys had to
- 3:42Speaker 1: start being detectives, but it feels as though we got
- 3:45Speaker 1: to figure out who the real grumpy cop is. We
- 3:48Speaker 1: can't have people impersonate a cop. That technically is a felony.
- 3:50Speaker 2: That is a felony.
- 3:51Speaker 1: It's a felony if you impersonate a cop, grumpy or not.
- 3:54Speaker 1: We got to figure out who that guy was in Knoxville.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Yeah, we just told a nice Friday Night Lights story
- 4:00Speaker 4: about the cops coming in the parking lot that we
- 4:02Speaker 4: were at. We broke that story down. The next week,
- 4:06Speaker 4: grumpy cop- We thought he wrote in.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:10Speaker 4: But now this guy is saying, grumpy cop here, that
- 4:13Speaker 4: other one is a phony.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Yeah, Huntro69 might be the real grumpy cop.
- 4:18Speaker 3: I also just remember, didn't we ask for a detail?
- 4:21Speaker 3: We were like, give us a detail that we didn't
- 4:22Speaker 3: tell in the story.
- 4:23Speaker 2: I just remember that. Yeah. Yeah.
- 4:25Speaker 1: We need to, we got to figure out who this
- 4:27Speaker 1: grumpy cop was. We got to give credit where credit
- 4:29Speaker 1: is due. Grumpy cop as grumpy as he was, handled
- 4:31Speaker 1: business the correct way towards the end of it. Very
- 4:33Speaker 1: appreciative of him. But we can't have people impersonating police officers.
- 4:37Speaker 1: It can't happen in this country. And if it can't
- 4:39Speaker 1: happen in this country, it can't happen on this bus.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Because all of us believe in America.
- 4:43Speaker 2: All right?
- 4:44Speaker 1: All of us believe in America. What's the other callback
- 4:45Speaker 1: we got next there?
- 4:46Speaker 2: OG Pup here. Cam Rourke.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Started watching the pod in college from day one. Now
- 4:52Speaker 4: I'm a girl that of two still watching. Need another
- 4:55Speaker 4: OG Halloween episode explaining spooktober and scary stories.
- 4:59Speaker 2: The real ones.
- 5:00Speaker 4: Remember the Catalina Lime Mixer spooktober ad. Golf clap, golf clap.
- 5:07Speaker 4: Golf clap for Cam. Kevin Zetrafood's clean take.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I want to tell Cam. Okay.
- 5:12Speaker 1: That's a clean take. That's Kevin Zetrafood's clean take. I
- 5:14Speaker 1: really appreciate Cam coming to us, looking at Spooktober, watching
- 5:18Speaker 1: the show since college, and now he's grown into a
- 5:21Speaker 1: young father of a girl as well.
- 5:24Speaker 2: Like just truly buying him. He's grown with us.
- 5:26Speaker 1: And what's interesting about growth is Spooktober's growth. This year's
- 5:29Speaker 1: clearly a contractor. Still trying to figure out who put
- 5:31Speaker 1: this beautiful shop into a haunted house. We got to
- 5:35Speaker 1: figure that out.
- 5:36Speaker 2: We need those people to decorate the bus.
- 5:38Speaker 1: We need those people to decorate the bus. We got
- 5:40Speaker 1: to figure out, we had to find out who that
- 5:41Speaker 1: was along with Grumpy Cop and figure out ways to
- 5:43Speaker 1: decorate the bus as well. Will and I actually had
- 5:46Speaker 1: a conversation about Spooktober just before as it was on
- 5:48Speaker 1: the horizon. And Spooktober, the rules we had for Spooktober,
- 5:53Speaker 1: those were a long time ago. It's watching a spooky movie.
- 5:57Speaker 1: It can be rated G, it can be rated, you know,
- 5:59Speaker 1: whatever B. I think Delaney Walker is into those super
- 6:01Speaker 1: gory ones. Everything in between. Every single day, all right?
- 6:05Speaker 1: It's doing something on the weekends. Every weekend, you just
- 6:08Speaker 1: embrace the fall, embrace the spook, embrace everything that's going on.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Taking an event.
- 6:12Speaker 2: What were the other ones?
- 6:13Speaker 1: Because I'm kind of, my brain is not necessarily working.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Decorating. Decorating, have to decorate, have to decorate. Referring to
- 6:19Speaker 2: October as spooktober. That is correct. I think those are
- 6:21Speaker 2: the big four. Those are the big four.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Will and I have also had the conversation of, I
- 6:26Speaker 1: have been married for 10 years now. Been a lover
- 6:29Speaker 1: of spooktober way longer than that, but I have three children.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Will's got two kids. And that's a lot. That's a
- 6:38Speaker 1: lot for 31 Days of Fright.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Yeah, when these rules were made, this was pre-kid era
- 6:42Speaker 2: for Willie C.
- 6:42Speaker 1: For Willie C. And I was just a young dad.
- 6:45Speaker 1: I had the bean. Her government name is Win Rebel Awan.
- 6:50Speaker 1: And it was just young. We're flying by the seat
- 6:52Speaker 1: of our pants. Just a couple of young guns trying
- 6:55Speaker 1: to figure out a podcast together.
- 6:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:57Speaker 1: And that was fun. I think we get a little
- 6:59Speaker 1: looser in the rains. We open up the borders a
- 7:02Speaker 1: little bit.
- 7:02Speaker 2: All right.
- 7:03Speaker 1: We unhinge the gate. And to say, embrace the spook, man.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Understand that this is the opening ceremony of the holidays.
- 7:10Speaker 1: You're not going to be judged on how many spooky
- 7:13Speaker 1: movies you watch. You will be judged on just decorating.
- 7:17Speaker 1: And I drove past my neighborhood and I judged every
- 7:20Speaker 1: single one of those houses. Every single one. If I
- 7:24Speaker 1: just see one little baby pumpkin on the top of
- 7:26Speaker 1: your mailbox, I know that you're believing in the holiday spirit.
- 7:29Speaker 1: And that's enough for me. Do I go over the
- 7:31Speaker 1: top for all holidays?
- 7:32Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
- 7:33Speaker 1: But that's just my personality. If you just give a
- 7:35Speaker 1: little tip of the cap and say, hey, right there,
- 7:37Speaker 1: we put a little pumpkin right there.
- 7:38Speaker 2: That's for you.
- 7:39Speaker 1: That should be good enough to say you're embracing spooktober.
- 7:43Speaker 2: All right.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Just like we're not going to safeguard fandom. We're not
- 7:45Speaker 1: going to tread on fandom. We're not going to tread
- 7:47Speaker 1: on holiday spirit as well. Can we all feel good
- 7:49Speaker 1: about that?
- 7:50Speaker 4: Now, I think we still need to have some type
- 7:52Speaker 4: of structure of rules.
- 7:54Speaker 2: For the audience out there.
- 7:56Speaker 5: 1,000%.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Instead of being like, you have to do this, this, this,
- 7:59Speaker 1: and this every single day, it's let's check boxes.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Let's check boxes every single week.
- 8:04Speaker 4: You got to have something embracing the spook on TV
- 8:08Speaker 4: throughout the week.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely.
- 8:11Speaker 4: On weekends, I think you need to embrace the festive season.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:18Speaker 4: Decorations and still refer to october as spooktober so it
- 8:21Speaker 4: seems like we've loosened it up by saying you don't
- 8:22Speaker 4: have to have a spook on every day to feel
- 8:26Speaker 4: like you're living the rules of spooktober right you're still
- 8:28Speaker 4: embracing it though every single week by doing something on
- 8:32Speaker 4: your tv whether you're getting your kids involved halloween town
- 8:35Speaker 4: that's a.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Great one that's a great one hocus pocus is another
- 8:37Speaker 1: great one to do as well hit a pumpkin patch do.
- 8:40Speaker 2: What Yeah, an activity. Yeah, got to hit an activity.
- 8:42Speaker 4: Like the first couple of weeks, we hit Lucky Lad Clump.
- 8:46Speaker 4: Lucky Lad hit that pumpkin patch in that festive spot
- 8:50Speaker 4: down by Franklin. Week two was Scary Acres in Nebraska.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out Scary Acres, by the way. Shout out
- 8:57Speaker 2: Scary Acres. We'll dive more into that.
- 8:58Speaker 1: This weekend, I also went to a little pumpkin patch
- 9:00Speaker 1: with my family. All right, we're going to end up

- 10:38Speaker 4: I said, drink all this down within the next five.
- 10:40Speaker 2: And what'd she do? She answered the bell. She was
- 10:43Speaker 2: in the ACAF. She answered the bell.
- 10:45Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Kid was twitching up a storm. But you got to just,
- 10:48Speaker 1: it's all about embracing, especially when you have kids, man.
- 10:51Speaker 1: It's all about like, how are your kids going to
- 10:53Speaker 1: remember holidays? How are they going to celebrate holidays? They're
- 10:55Speaker 1: going to reflect on their childhood. And that's how they're
- 10:57Speaker 1: going to embrace this.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Wifey's already started the homemade costumes. Nice. For the end
- 11:03Speaker 2: of the year. Nice. Where the wild things are. Really? Yeah.
- 11:06Speaker 4: She had the cardboard out yesterday. I cut some teeth. Um,
- 11:10Speaker 4: she's doing some paper Mouchet. Like it's- Mouchet.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Is it Mouchet? Very nice. No, no, no. Mouchet. No, no, no. Mouchet. Mouchet.
- 11:18Speaker 2: When you're as cultured as the Comptons are, it's Mouchet.
- 11:21Speaker 2: All right.
- 11:22Speaker 1: That boy was in Italy once upon a time. Don't
- 11:24Speaker 1: forget that. My boy's been to Italy. So you're going
- 11:27Speaker 1: to have a little.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Some paper Mouchet costumes. Loading this year. In the spirit
- 11:32Speaker 2: of paper Mouchet costumes. Um- I was thinking, and this
- 11:37Speaker 2: is a brainstorm. Okay. No bad ideas. Thank you. Officially
- 11:40Speaker 2: no bad ideas. Okay. Thank you. Then, if that's the
- 11:43Speaker 2: case of no bad ideas, the final intro of Spooked Over.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Everyone's in stooms. Okay. And everyone brings a scary story.
- 11:53Speaker 2: A little scary story. It's Kevin's natural food. Spooky take.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Can't finish the food. Clean spooky take. But spooky take.
- 12:02Speaker 3: Really?
- 12:02Speaker 2: It's spooky nonetheless. So we like it. Yeah, I like that.
- 12:04Speaker 2: I mean, we got to do something. We got to
- 12:06Speaker 2: do something fun. We got to decorate this bus is
- 12:08Speaker 2: what we got to do. We got to decorate the bus.
- 12:09Speaker 2: We got to do that.
- 12:09Speaker 1: People don't know that there's literally a haunted house on
- 12:11Speaker 1: the outside of this bus right now. we should still
- 12:14Speaker 1: be showing the viewer day in and day out how
- 12:16Speaker 1: much we do it. Especially because look at Sherm's hat.
- 12:18Speaker 2: Yeah, the brand is on. Look at Will's hat right now.
- 12:20Speaker 2: The brand is on the bus.
- 12:22Speaker 4: The brand is on the bus. The viewers got to see.
- 12:24Speaker 4: Are these boys even about spooktober?
- 12:25Speaker 2: Right, right, right.
- 12:26Speaker 1: And they don't believe if they don't go to the
- 12:27Speaker 1: socials and see that we turned somebody, turned into a
- 12:30Speaker 1: haunted house. Like they're not believing that we're actually practicing
- 12:33Speaker 1: what we're preaching right now. By the way, bwtb.com. You
- 12:36Speaker 1: can get Sherman's hat that he's wearing right there. You
- 12:38Speaker 1: can get Clumpy's hat that he's wearing right there. Clump's
- 12:41Speaker 1: hat that he's wearing is actually my personal favorite. And
- 12:43Speaker 1: then Willie C for the dads had to give himself
- 12:45Speaker 1: a little scream face bear.
- 12:46Speaker 4: That's the cutest one right there. BWTB.com.
- 12:51Speaker 1: You can snipe those things up there. Let's talk about
- 12:52Speaker 1: the weekend boys.
- 12:54Speaker 2: All right.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Obviously, if you want to talk Nebraska football, I'm sure
- 12:57Speaker 1: it'll be talked about on this intro.
- 12:59Speaker 2: I'm sure.
- 13:00Speaker 1: But if you want a full breakdown of Nebraska, Indiana,
- 13:03Speaker 1: all the big games that took place last week, you're
- 13:06Speaker 1: going to want to go to the college football recap.
- 13:07Speaker 1: That is out now. That goes out every Monday afternoon.
- 13:10Speaker 1: So you're welcome.
- 13:11Speaker 2: You're welcome. We get that done.
- 13:12Speaker 1: But the boys had our second to last tailgate tour
- 13:16Speaker 1: in Lincoln, Nebraska. Spoiler alert, Lincoln, Nebraska showed up as
- 13:20Speaker 1: they always do. They do not mess around, man.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Number one haunted park in the Midwest.
- 13:29Speaker 1: In the Midwest or the state of Nebraska?
- 13:31Speaker 2: It is Nebraska, but I believe it's the Midwest as well.
- 13:34Speaker 1: And I have no qualms with either of those statements, dude.
- 13:37Speaker 1: It was so much fun. People were inviting. Loved being
- 13:39Speaker 1: around it. Multiple attractions. They had little shops and not shops,
- 13:42Speaker 1: but like little pop-up deals taking place. You can get
- 13:45Speaker 1: yourself a drink, a little bevy, a little bit of
- 13:46Speaker 1: food as you go from one to the next. Scary Acres, man.
- 13:51Speaker 1: I loved the detail. We went through two of their
- 13:54Speaker 1: four attractions. They have four total attractions. We went through
- 13:58Speaker 1: two of them. Had to make a nice little, had
- 14:00Speaker 1: a little dinner reservation. We talked about the portion size
- 14:03Speaker 1: and that just a little bit. But we went through
- 14:05Speaker 1: the haunted house part and dude, inside, outside, everywhere, just
- 14:09Speaker 1: incredibly done. They do a great job of distracting you
- 14:12Speaker 1: one way where you're kinking the neck to the right
- 14:13Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden someone's popping up to
- 14:15Speaker 1: the left.
- 14:15Speaker 4: The actors and actresses, shout out. I mean, they are
- 14:18Speaker 4: fully bought in. You got guys been in backwoods. Body!
- 14:22Speaker 2: Zombies. Unreal!
- 14:23Speaker 4: They got the haunted woods, which we didn't get to
- 14:25Speaker 4: go hit because it was just before the sun was
- 14:27Speaker 4: going down.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:29Speaker 1: We got to catch that place at dusk. They did
- 14:30Speaker 1: do us a huge favor and open up, what, 30,
- 14:32Speaker 1: 45 minutes before? They're actually supposed to open up. So
- 14:35Speaker 1: we had to park to ourselves for a little bit.
- 14:37Speaker 1: A young Michael Myers.
- 14:38Speaker 2: That one was awesome. After the first haunted house. Came
- 14:41Speaker 2: out of nowhere.
- 14:42Speaker 1: This young boy couldn't be older than six. Stayed in
- 14:44Speaker 1: character the whole time.
- 14:45Speaker 2: Didn't say a word.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Didn't even get into a brisk walk. Stayed with a
- 14:48Speaker 1: stoic walk the entire time. He murdered me. We'll go
- 14:52Speaker 1: with the number several times.
- 14:53Speaker 2: A lot. Several times. More than three. Quite a few.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Speaking of staying in character.
- 14:58Speaker 6: Tier one fan, actor, stayed in character, gave you guys
- 15:02Speaker 6: compliments while still being in character.
- 15:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:04Speaker 2: He was awesome.
- 15:05Speaker 4: Yeah, he was bought in and he was spooky looking.
- 15:07Speaker 2: He was. He had a creepy little voice. Spooky, spooky.
- 15:10Speaker 2: The Haunted House was awesome.
- 15:11Speaker 1: And I love that some of these actors you could
- 15:13Speaker 1: tell watch the show but stayed in character because I'd get.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Like a, Taylor, come over here.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I'm like, oh shit. These demons know me by name.
- 15:21Speaker 1: I had to like run up to the corner a
- 15:23Speaker 1: couple times. Let me give you a little trick too
- 15:25Speaker 1: if you're trying to embrace the spook and you're like,
- 15:27Speaker 1: I'm too much of a man. To go into haunted houses.
- 15:29Speaker 1: The first time you go to a haunted house and
- 15:31Speaker 1: you think, I'm Mr. Tough Guy Macho Man. The first
- 15:34Speaker 1: thing that jumps out at you, do yourself a favor
- 15:36Speaker 1: and overreact. Overreact to a jump scare. It's going to
- 15:39Speaker 1: trick your brain into being more bought into the haunted
- 15:42Speaker 1: house taking place. It'll shut down that CNS you got
- 15:44Speaker 1: going on there. That's central nervous system. Yeah, Ben Greenfield
- 15:46Speaker 1: was just on the episode last week. So I got
- 15:49Speaker 1: some stuff in my bag right now. It'll mess you
- 15:51Speaker 1: up and then you can run around a little bit
- 15:52Speaker 1: more and have a little more fun. That's Kevin's Natural
- 15:55Speaker 1: Foods Clean Take.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Kevin's Natural Foods Clean Take. Clean Take. Scary Acres.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Overall, I'll give them a 4.5, man. That was absolutely incredible.
- 16:02Speaker 2: How did everybody do? Who was the most scared? I
- 16:04Speaker 2: was pretty scared. We were in two different groups. Which
- 16:07Speaker 2: was very smart of us. Yeah. Very smart of us,
- 16:10Speaker 2: by the way. I think Klump was the most scared.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Klump was very scary throughout the entire process. Or Danny Durkin.
- 16:15Speaker 2: But Danny, I felt like he progressively conquered his fear.
- 16:18Speaker 2: I feel like they picked on me.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Danny stays in a level of like... Fighter fight? He's
- 16:23Speaker 1: in a fight. He's constantly in a level of fight.
- 16:26Speaker 1: He's scared of everything. So I think as far as
- 16:30Speaker 1: who changed the most of being scared, I would say
- 16:32Speaker 1: Durkin probably changed the least. He was just scared the
- 16:35Speaker 1: whole time.
- 16:36Speaker 4: Yeah, getting him to go up front halfway through the
- 16:38Speaker 4: first one, he was not wanting to do it, but
- 16:40Speaker 4: he did it.
- 16:41Speaker 2: He did it. He did it. He started leading at 1.2. Yeah.
- 16:44Speaker 2: Which I was proud of. Very cool.
- 16:46Speaker 1: I loved that the owner, I believe it was the owner,
- 16:48Speaker 1: the lady, she counted us off one, two, one, two, one, two.
- 16:51Speaker 1: So we all got into our little groups and it
- 16:53Speaker 1: was great to go through that because a big crowd
- 16:55Speaker 1: kind of kills a vibe. I know Nashville nightmare. I
- 16:57Speaker 1: love their attractions, but a lot of times you're just
- 16:59Speaker 1: in a single file line. You're seeing somebody get scared,
- 17:02Speaker 1: you know, 10 people in front of you. And then
- 17:03Speaker 1: you kind of get to the point where it's like,
- 17:04Speaker 1: and you're like, I kind of, I kind of, I
- 17:07Speaker 1: saw you. I saw you 10 behind and 10 behind.
- 17:10Speaker 1: That's going to see you as well. So they were awesome, dude.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Absolutely loved it. Jump on the bus. Well, you just get, oh,
- 17:16Speaker 1: by the way, busing and paid on campus. Hamster brain.
- 17:18Speaker 1: Best show yet.
- 17:19Speaker 2: Great busing and paid on campus. Phenomenal crowd. Best show yet.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Crowd was unbelievable. High energy the entire time on that show.
- 17:26Speaker 1: I truly enjoyed every bit of that. Intro was awesome.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Cinematic. Cinematic.
- 17:32Speaker 7: There was a cool part you guys probably didn't see,
- 17:34Speaker 7: but when you were like audio testing, I was getting
- 17:37Speaker 7: the crowd going for merch that they were being so.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Loud that they made me stop. That's how loud the
- 17:41Speaker 2: crowd was being before the show started. Yeah, you got
- 17:43Speaker 2: yelled at. It was awesome. But I'm pumped for Nebraska fans,
- 17:46Speaker 2: how loud they were. Yeah, they crushed it. They were.
- 17:48Speaker 1: How was your experience going back?
- 17:51Speaker 2: Loved it. I mean.
- 17:52Speaker 4: As good of a weekend as that could have been
- 17:55Speaker 4: had without the W.
- 17:58Speaker 2: Yeah. Without the W.
- 18:00Speaker 4: Because that was just a different version. That was a
- 18:02Speaker 4: version that I was so excited for guys who were
- 18:05Speaker 4: going for their first time. But just in totality of
- 18:07Speaker 4: getting guys back, like to me, that environment and everything
- 18:10Speaker 4: else was everything I would have wanted for somebody to
- 18:12Speaker 4: experience the first time.
- 18:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved it.
- 18:14Speaker 4: Because I felt like that was it in totality. Yeah.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Shout out Joey Fats. He was there as well.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Yes. At the live show. Shout out our- He's lost
- 18:22Speaker 2: a lot of weight. Looking trim. Yes, he has. He's
- 18:23Speaker 2: lost a lot of weight. Yeah. Really?

- 18:28Speaker 1: autographs picture thing. I was walking back to our little
- 18:31Speaker 1: area that we had before the show. Joey Fats walks up. Taylor,

- 19:09Speaker 2: no butt. There's no butt. There's no butt. Absolutely no butt.
- 19:11Speaker 2: There's no this. In my opinion, there's no butt. There's
- 19:13Speaker 2: no butt at all. That was prime time.
- 19:15Speaker 1: None of us can sit there and even give a butt.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Private event took place. They called up, said, Willie C
- 19:19Speaker 1: is in town. They said, we'll give him the private room.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Don't you worry. They had a menu already ready for us.
- 19:26Speaker 1: This is what you're going to have.
- 19:27Speaker 2: They were quick, fast.
- 19:29Speaker 1: You sit down, we get the beverages taken care of.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Within 10 minutes, our first entree, our first appetizer was
- 19:34Speaker 1: out there. Sprinkled in like it was a charcuterie dish.
- 19:37Speaker 1: Different tastes and everything like that. Absolutely incredible.

- 19:53Speaker 1: not there.
- 19:54Speaker 2: Was another was i don't think there's multiples.
- 19:56Speaker 1: There is at least one individual being a little bitch
- 20:00Speaker 1: about the portion size we're not going to point that
- 20:02Speaker 1: person out we're not going to do that But I
- 20:04Speaker 1: will say they probably have some mics in that private
- 20:07Speaker 1: room because they came in very shortly after and go,
- 20:09Speaker 1: we're not going to let you guys go hungry. They
- 20:10Speaker 1: brought out the steaks, portion size. People were bitching. They
- 20:15Speaker 1: bring out two massive plates of steak, of Wagyu. This
- 20:19Speaker 1: is for you guys. They sat down. My gout was
- 20:21Speaker 1: already flaring up looking at that. It was incredible. Incredible
- 20:26Speaker 1: all around.
- 20:27Speaker 2: No complaints. You were being a nasty bitch.
- 20:31Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 20:32Speaker 2: What are we talking about? You were bringing the vibes
- 20:34Speaker 2: down for a moment.
- 20:35Speaker 1: Oh, I don't think so. If anything, I think I
- 20:37Speaker 1: brought the vibes up. You guys galvanized against me. I
- 20:40Speaker 1: couldn't stop laughing.
- 20:41Speaker 2: We just all knew. I gave you guys something to
- 20:43Speaker 2: fight for. That's beautiful. I do feel like that room
- 20:46Speaker 2: was bugged. Yeah, it had to be bugged. 100% bugged.
- 20:48Speaker 6: The second you were complaining about portion sizes, they immediately
- 20:52Speaker 6: brought more food. And they're like, we know you guys
- 20:53Speaker 6: are going to be hungry, so just a little extra.
- 20:55Speaker 6: And it was a ton of steak.
- 20:56Speaker 1: It was a ton of steak. And was I really
- 20:58Speaker 1: complaining or was I just.
- 20:59Speaker 2: Having fun, huh? The lime cashews.
- 21:03Speaker 1: The lime cashews. Klump talked about how much he loved
- 21:04Speaker 1: the cashews. All of a sudden, some servant person comes
- 21:07Speaker 1: out of the floor, hands him a whole barrel of them.
- 21:10Speaker 2: That's a lot.
- 21:11Speaker 1: That was bugged. Picasso Boniva. Absolutely delicious.
- 21:15Speaker 2: It was really good.
- 21:18Speaker 4: Unique.
- 21:18Speaker 2: No.
- 21:18Speaker 4: Well, so like the first couple of times, since it
- 21:20Speaker 4: was a private event, like it wasn't, the basketball team
- 21:24Speaker 4: came in before, so they weren't like open. So they
- 21:27Speaker 4: had the structured menu for us. So we requested the menu,
- 21:32Speaker 4: but they were just dialed in on whatever they were
- 21:34Speaker 4: going to serve that night. Who knows if they probably
- 21:37Speaker 4: didn't have a full staff there. So we didn't have
- 21:40Speaker 4: just like an open menu to where you can get
- 21:42Speaker 4: the pasta that's in the.
- 21:44Speaker 2: Cheese or the butter, like all the stuff that we
- 21:46Speaker 2: could have ordered. You know what I mean?
- 21:48Speaker 4: Like all the apps, you just basically order everything.
- 21:50Speaker 3: Is that the second time you guys have been there?
- 21:52Speaker 2: Third. Third time. That was our third time. And shout
- 21:54Speaker 2: out them, dude.
- 21:55Speaker 1: They were not going to open for anybody. They opened
- 21:56Speaker 1: for Will Compton.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Incredible.
- 21:59Speaker 1: Incredible stuff, dude.
- 22:00Speaker 2: It was delicious. GBR, man.
- 22:02Speaker 1: And their desserts, too. The malted shake.
- 22:06Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, bro. I'll tell you what. Could have had
- 22:08Speaker 2: more of that. We could have had more of that.
- 22:12Speaker 4: You got the extra that was left in the, what
- 22:15Speaker 4: was it?
- 22:16Speaker 2: Like the metal cup. Yeah, the metal cup. The extra shake.
- 22:18Speaker 1: Did you guys ever go to Five and Diner as
- 22:20Speaker 1: a kid?
- 22:21Speaker 4: Mm-mm.
- 22:22Speaker 1: Five and Diner, they would do like, it'd be like
- 22:24Speaker 1: a old school, like 50s style. And you'd order a
- 22:27Speaker 1: milkshake and it'd come in one of those little like
- 22:28Speaker 1: cute little glasses, like a 50s glass. But it's like
- 22:31Speaker 1: not a lot of ass in that glass. You can't
- 22:33Speaker 1: put a lot of ounces in there. So they would
- 22:34Speaker 1: give you that tin cup as well, filled to the brim.
- 22:37Speaker 1: And you're like, yo, I feel like I have two
- 22:38Speaker 1: milkshakes right now. And that was what it reminded me of.
- 22:41Speaker 1: And I absolutely love Five and Diner.
- 22:43Speaker 2: Out of the tin cup, personally, I feel like it
- 22:45Speaker 2: tastes better. Agreed.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Especially because when you grab the tin cup, it's so
- 22:49Speaker 1: cold in your hand. You know, whatever beverage you're about
- 22:51Speaker 1: to sip on is going to just be awesome. There's
- 22:53Speaker 1: Five and Diner right there. That's a crazy... Yeah, I
- 22:57Speaker 1: think that's the one in Arizona. Right off the highway.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Anyhow, dude. Great time at Casa Boniva. Bovina. Bovina.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Bovina.
- 23:07Speaker 2: Hey, amazing time. The Hampton Inn downtown Lincoln too was awesome. Yeah,
- 23:11Speaker 2: they ripped. Yeah, they need a shout out for the
- 23:14Speaker 2: breakfast in the morning. Was it Troy? That guy was awesome.
- 23:18Speaker 2: He was so nice, dude.
- 23:19Speaker 7: One of those people you see, you're just like, this
- 23:21Speaker 7: guy loves his life, loves his job, made it awesome.
- 23:24Speaker 2: So shout out to that guy.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Because I walked down, pretty much everybody was there. And
- 23:28Speaker 1: then he comes up, he goes, don't make the same
- 23:30Speaker 1: mistake your buddy made.
- 23:31Speaker 2: Did he point to you? Yeah, I made a mistake.
- 23:33Speaker 2: He made a mistake. By cleaning up.
- 23:34Speaker 1: Yeah, by cleaning up his mess. He's like, when you're done,
- 23:37Speaker 1: like you're on vacation, when you get the bill for
- 23:39Speaker 1: this room, that's when you're going to be like, thank
- 23:40Speaker 1: God that guy cleaned up for me. Do not pick
- 23:43Speaker 1: up one thing. So I was like, I was kind
- 23:45Speaker 1: of terrified to the point where like. You're so conscious
- 23:48Speaker 1: of the idea that you shouldn't clean up. It's like,
- 23:49Speaker 1: I got to, I have to clean up something.
- 23:51Speaker 2: I snuck one in the trash can. Did you really
- 23:52Speaker 2: feel bad about it?
- 23:53Speaker 6: Sneaky boy right there. But a solid continental hotel breakfast.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Dude, I had six omelets. Wait, what? I had a
- 24:04Speaker 2: stack of three and they were like, they were small.
- 24:07Speaker 2: They're a little small. Like little tacos.
- 24:10Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 24:10Speaker 1: That's the perfect size. A taco size of omelet. And dude,
- 24:13Speaker 1: something about it, like you don't see the cheese in there,
- 24:15Speaker 1: but it has such a cheesy taste. And it looked
- 24:17Speaker 1: like the ham was very thick, but you got ham
- 24:20Speaker 1: texture in there. Like it was delicious.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Delicious. So much so I had to go back a.
- 24:24Speaker 1: Little bit more and put a little Tabasco on that boy.
- 24:27Speaker 1: But I wanted to throw away my Tabasco wrapper so
- 24:29Speaker 1: bad because that boy was beautiful.
- 24:33Speaker 2: Clump eight seconds. Oh. Before, before, before, before, before.
- 24:39Speaker 1: The coolest thing in Bustin' with the Boys history took
- 24:40Speaker 1: place this weekend. Obviously, it wasn't the result that we wanted.
- 24:45Speaker 1: But on a massive run, Anthony Calandria points at you.
- 24:47Speaker 1: What was that feeling like?
- 24:48Speaker 4: Oh, I mean, dude, when we scored one of 17-6
- 24:51Speaker 4: with the point, with the aura that he was having
- 24:53Speaker 4: right there, like my brain was like, college football playoff,
- 24:57Speaker 4: here we fucking come. Like Nebraska's back. We are for real.
- 25:02Speaker 4: The ripple effect that was about to take place in
- 25:04Speaker 4: college football. Talking Holgerson, talking Ulrich, black shirts, line of scrimmage,
- 25:09Speaker 4: getting the fight started, all of it. and Kalandra running
- 25:11Speaker 4: on the side and hitting that little point, it was like,
- 25:13Speaker 4: holy fuck, this is the perfect weekend of all time.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Only you. Don't worry about that. We're just talking about
- 25:21Speaker 2: the point. I know. Some of the comments were cool. Oh, yeah,
- 25:23Speaker 2: the point. Yeah, that was awesome. Given you love, Taylor, like,
- 25:26Speaker 2: how excited you were for Will when Kalandra pointed at him. Oh, bro.
- 25:29Speaker 2: It's just funny, like, we're grown-ass men, dude. Grown-ass men.
- 25:32Speaker 2: And a 20-year-old points us like, oh, I did it! Like,
- 25:34Speaker 2: you were so excited for Will. Oh, my God, he
- 25:37Speaker 2: was pointing at you!
- 25:38Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:38Speaker 1: Dude, I couldn't get over, like, 10 years of not
- 25:42Speaker 1: having a top 25 win to go up, whatever, 17, six,
- 25:45Speaker 1: whatever the number was. And this kid is in a
- 25:48Speaker 1: pivotal moment of the game. which seems like they're putting
- 25:51Speaker 1: the game away. And he takes the time to look
- 25:53Speaker 1: at Will Compton and points at him. Just to be
- 25:56Speaker 1: able to like, you watch like football movies and you
- 25:59Speaker 1: see people and things like slow down where they're almost
- 26:02Speaker 1: like they're so aware of everything around them. And that
- 26:05Speaker 1: moment to me, I was like, I have goosebumps right now.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Truly one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed in
- 26:10Speaker 1: my life was watching him point at you. And I
- 26:14Speaker 1: was like, bro, That's as awesome as it gets. And
- 26:18Speaker 1: we were, Hey, listen for that day, we were all Huskers.
- 26:20Speaker 4: That stadium in that moment to a man, that's one
- 26:25Speaker 4: of the greatest moments of their life. When we got that,
- 26:27Speaker 4: when we got in that end zone, what up 17, six.
- 26:29Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 26:33Speaker 4: I was so, the whole time I've just felt so
- 26:36Speaker 4: in the moment that, When they were loud on first down,
- 26:38Speaker 4: second down, third down, it was rocking, bro.
- 26:41Speaker 2: It was rocking. It was so cool, dude.
- 26:43Speaker 7: I don't even remember it being loud when he scored
- 26:44Speaker 7: and pointed because we were just all celebrating together.
- 26:46Speaker 4: I know when I got home that night and we
- 26:48Speaker 4: were eating dinner, it was almost like the quiet, like
- 26:50Speaker 4: being in the house, I still felt my ears recovering
- 26:54Speaker 4: from that day. That whole place was juice, man. Nebraska
- 26:58Speaker 4: fandom was playing championship football that day.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Underrated thing is Danny Durkin's face is so funny at
- 27:04Speaker 3: the end of that video.
- 27:05Speaker 2: I didn't even see it. It is hilarious.
- 27:08Speaker 3: Just his reaction to it after the excitement of all
- 27:10Speaker 3: you guys. Just show his face. It is hilarious. He's like,
- 27:14Speaker 3: everyone is excited to accept him. And he's in a,
- 27:16Speaker 3: I think he's in a Nebraska shirt too.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Yeah, no. He's in a bus and boy shirt. Danny
- 27:22Speaker 2: was hilarious too. He knew the clock was ticking. God,
- 27:25Speaker 2: had him right where I wanted him. Just for March
- 27:29Speaker 2: to hit that next series. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Delete, delete.
- 27:34Speaker 2: It was fun supporting you, though. We're on to Oregon.
- 27:36Speaker 7: It was fun being a Nebraska fan and just being
- 27:39Speaker 7: on your side. It's funny you bring up the eight seconds, though.
- 27:43Speaker 7: You just love the downfalls. I rode for you all weekend.
- 27:46Speaker 7: I was rocking a Willie C jersey. But we'll talk
- 27:49Speaker 7: about eight seconds.
- 27:49Speaker 1: Something to be said about Klump being a Nebraska fan
- 27:52Speaker 1: for that weekend is that the reason why Nebraska lost.
- 27:56Speaker 2: KK. I mean, we're going to be nasty now, all right?
- 27:59Speaker 2: Klump curse, man. Klump curse, man.
- 28:01Speaker 4: I mean, you bent the knee to Oregon Duck fandom
- 28:05Speaker 4: this year. Look where Oregon's at.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Yeah. You put on the Willie C jersey. Have you
- 28:10Speaker 2: heard his take on Oregon currently? No.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Oh, it is really bad.
- 28:15Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to take the floor.
- 28:17Speaker 2: I'm not going to throw you out there. It's a
- 28:18Speaker 2: fair take. I just said if a coach is fired
- 28:21Speaker 2: or leaves, you have a 30-day window to enter the portal.
- 28:25Speaker 2: all I was saying. You're saying Dan Lanning's going to
- 28:26Speaker 2: get fired? If he does.
- 28:28Speaker 6: He's saying that he reserves the right to leave Oregon
- 28:31Speaker 6: as a fan if Lanning gets fired.
- 28:32Speaker 2: If Lanning gets fired, I will enter the.
- 28:35Speaker 7: I'm announcing now, if Dan Lanning is fired from Oregon,
- 28:38Speaker 7: I am entering the transfer portal.
- 28:39Speaker 2: I don't hate that take. I don't hate that take
- 28:42Speaker 2: at all. It's a different generation. Jeremy Klum didn't commit
- 28:46Speaker 2: to Oregon because of the school. He committed to them
- 28:47Speaker 2: because of the coach. Thank you. Kids do that all
- 28:50Speaker 2: the time. It's totally fair. Perfect. It's totally fair take.
- 28:53Speaker 2: Thank you, Taylor. Yeah, you're very welcome, Klump. I think
- 28:56Speaker 2: you're in a good spot. I appreciate you being on
- 28:58Speaker 2: my side. Yeah, no, and I actually mean it, too.
- 29:00Speaker 2: I know. There's no but. I wonder if there's something there.
- 29:03Speaker 2: Let's go back to eight seconds. Yeah, but let's go
- 29:06Speaker 2: back to eight seconds. Dan Lanning, welcome to Ann Arbor.
- 29:08Speaker 8: Oh.
- 29:08Speaker 2: What? You wouldn't want Dan Lanning as your coach?
- 29:14Speaker 1: Could you imagine Dan Lanning in Oregon? I would literally
- 29:17Speaker 1: not if Dan Lanning was my head coach.
- 29:19Speaker 2: I would.
- 29:20Speaker 1: turn this bus into a Jackson Pollock painting with my
- 29:23Speaker 1: semen if Dan Lanning was the head coach of the
- 29:27Speaker 1: University of Michigan.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Dude, are you kidding me? No such thing, man. USC
- 29:34Speaker 2: was my biggest bet of the weekend. Listen, if Dean
- 29:36Speaker 2: Lanning learns the victors and he's in Ann.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Arbor, oh my God, bro, that would be unbelievable. But
- 29:43Speaker 1: I don't want to even have that conversation right now
- 29:46Speaker 1: because we're focused on Penn State.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Got to be Penn State. Must win.
- 29:50Speaker 4: Yeah.

- 31:12Speaker 4: know season two's out right now.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Like I've binged it. I've binged it. And it is, dude,
- 31:17Speaker 2: people got to watch Chad Powers.
- 31:19Speaker 1: Are we at the point where it's been out long
- 31:21Speaker 1: enough to where we can give up spoilers? Or should
- 31:23Speaker 1: we just at this moment, just talk about how the
- 31:25Speaker 1: season goes? Vaguely.
- 31:28Speaker 2: It's been out for a while. If you are to
- 31:31Speaker 2: talk about spoilers, I would just blanket spoiler warning. Here's
- 31:36Speaker 2: what I'll do, dude.
- 31:36Speaker 1: I'm just going to say this. Season one of Chad
- 31:39Speaker 1: Powers was fun. There's a lot of comedy in it.
- 31:42Speaker 2: It's exciting.
- 31:43Speaker 1: It's what if type of situation. Like this would be
- 31:45Speaker 1: so fun if somebody actually did this.
- 31:48Speaker 2: Season two.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Really gets into, holy shit, if someone actually did this,
- 31:52Speaker 1: the amount, the ramifications that would come from this, the
- 31:55Speaker 1: consequences that could take place, people finding out, people trying
- 31:58Speaker 1: to blackmail, I already feel like I'm, I already feel
- 32:02Speaker 1: like I'm trending a little too much.
- 32:04Speaker 4: But season one, it just flips your preconceived notion going
- 32:07Speaker 4: into like, what's Chad Powers gonna be? Like, it gets
- 32:09Speaker 4: you bought in. If you watch season one, I have
- 32:11Speaker 4: no doubt you're gonna be so ready, you're gonna have
- 32:14Speaker 4: to watch season two. And season two delivers.
- 32:17Speaker 2: It really does. That last scene? That last scene. Stop.
- 32:21Speaker 2: I know.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Because I had goosebumps in that scene too. A lot
- 32:23Speaker 1: of talk of goosebumps and it is spooktober. Shout out
- 32:26Speaker 1: goosebumps as a child, but I had goosebumps when I
- 32:28Speaker 1: watched the last scene of that Chad Powers movie. Because
- 32:31Speaker 1: it's like, what's he going to do? What is he
- 32:34Speaker 1: going to do? The character development of Chad Powers in
- 32:38Speaker 1: that moment is so incredible. Does he go and do
- 32:41Speaker 1: the right thing regardless of himself or does he continue
- 32:45Speaker 1: to stay selfish? And that's all I'll say. Ricky, Ricky,
- 32:51Speaker 1: can I give a Kevin's Natural Foods clean take?
- 32:53Speaker 2: Please. We got to have a season three of Chad Powers.
- 32:57Speaker 2: There's no question it's coming. We got to have a
- 32:59Speaker 2: season three. No question?
- 33:01Speaker 4: There's no question it is coming. This is a good show.
- 33:05Speaker 4: Brooks also was kind of tweeting before, maybe the first
- 33:08Speaker 4: week of college football, he said something. He asked a
- 33:11Speaker 4: question about Chad Powers, and I'm like hitting him up.
- 33:12Speaker 4: I'm like, my man, I'm telling you. you will fucking
- 33:16Speaker 4: love Chad Powers.
- 33:17Speaker 2: Really?
- 33:18Speaker 4: Even alluding to kind of hating on it, don't because
- 33:21Speaker 4: I'm telling you, you're going to watch it and it's
- 33:23Speaker 4: just going to swallow you up.
- 33:24Speaker 2: No pause.
- 33:25Speaker 1: Because the idea of like an Eli Manning bit turning
- 33:29Speaker 1: into a show, like you go into season one, you're like,
- 33:30Speaker 1: all right, let's see what this is really all about.
- 33:32Speaker 1: And the fact that it's that good is just so impressive.
- 33:36Speaker 2: It's funny. Yeah, it's good, man. And you get a
- 33:38Speaker 2: season three, like I don't want to say cameo.
- 33:40Speaker 7: Yeah, that's my Kevin's Natural Foods clean take.
- 33:43Speaker 2: What is it? If there's a season three- The boy's
- 33:45Speaker 2: got to be in it. Got to be in it.
- 33:48Speaker 2: I would be honored.
- 33:49Speaker 4: I don't want to make it about myself, but a
- 33:51Speaker 4: moment happened over the weekend that you could incorporate with
- 33:55Speaker 4: Chad Powers, breaking a play, running toward the sideline and
- 33:58Speaker 4: throwing a little point.
- 34:00Speaker 1: I got to Kevin's Outro Foods clean take.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Okay.
- 34:05Speaker 1: If Will and I are honored enough to be in
- 34:07Speaker 1: season three of Chad Powers, if there even is a
- 34:10Speaker 1: season three, how do we get.
- 34:12Speaker 2: All the bus on season three? I'm going to get
- 34:14Speaker 2: the whole.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Bus on there. Hey, Chad Powers goes on a bus
- 34:18Speaker 1: with the boys. We sit there, we, we get them,
- 34:20Speaker 1: strums in the back, having clean takes.
- 34:22Speaker 2: Steve Zahn's right here.
- 34:23Speaker 1: I'm like, he has to go through a haunted house.
- 34:29Speaker 7: What if we had him on the bus to be
- 34:33Speaker 7: on season three?
- 34:34Speaker 1: If Chad Powers comes on the bus, it, It has
- 34:37Speaker 1: to be Chad Powers. He has to stay in character
- 34:39Speaker 1: the entire time.
- 34:39Speaker 2: I meant like the actual scene in Chad Powers. It's
- 34:42Speaker 2: him coming on bus with the boys. That would be sick. Electric.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Clean take. That's a very clean take. Riding room of
- 34:51Speaker 2: Chad Powers.
- 34:52Speaker 3: Right.
- 34:53Speaker 2: And also, no bad ideas in a brainstorm. Zero. Zero. None.
- 34:57Speaker 1: None.
- 34:58Speaker 6: If they're not okay with Chad coming on, maybe float
- 35:02Speaker 6: the idea the backup QB comes on.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Trying to slander him.
- 35:06Speaker 3: That's so good.
- 35:08Speaker 2: I don't know. Just a thought. But don't give away
- 35:10Speaker 2: too much because I kind of want to spoil it.
- 35:11Speaker 2: I kind of want to spoil it just now. Just
- 35:14Speaker 2: trying to.
- 35:15Speaker 1: We should just have a warning on this part of
- 35:17Speaker 1: just like potential spoilers.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Warning. Warning. Potential spoilers. You're going to love the backup
- 35:21Speaker 2: cue on the first season. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Warning, warning.
- 35:25Speaker 2: I still kind of love him in the second.
- 35:27Speaker 3: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 35:29Speaker 4: You still like love the character, but I hate that
- 35:32Speaker 4: he's on the other.
- 35:33Speaker 2: Yeah. Chad Powers, man. Great show. All right, let's get
- 35:38Speaker 2: into Dusty Slug. Dude, the Eagles. Oh, yeah. Go ahead, dude.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Talk about the Eagles real quick.
- 35:43Speaker 4: Blowing that game with eight seconds to go. Why are
- 35:45Speaker 4: you kicking the ball to Amir Abdullah? I'm more mad
- 35:49Speaker 4: that you're even kicking the ball. You get a first down.
- 35:52Speaker 4: They have two timeouts. You run that clock out. They
- 35:55Speaker 4: threw on first down and second down. Stopped the clock
- 35:57Speaker 4: both times. They should have kicked the field goal with
- 35:59Speaker 4: time running out.
- 36:00Speaker 2: First error. Second error. Amir Abdul.
- 36:03Speaker 7: I mean, Nebraska's got all this hype this weekend. You
- 36:06Speaker 7: don't kick it to him. You kick it out of
- 36:07Speaker 7: the end zone. They have no timeouts. No matter what,
- 36:11Speaker 7: they are not completing a pass and getting enough time
- 36:12Speaker 7: to kick a field goal.
- 36:13Speaker 2: They do not have timeouts. Just brutal.
- 36:15Speaker 7: Nick Sirianni did stand at the podium. Felt a little
- 36:18Speaker 7: quiver in his voice when he said it's on him.
- 36:21Speaker 2: It is on him. Bad loss.
- 36:23Speaker 7: Eagles should be 4-1 right now. They lost two games.
- 36:27Speaker 7: They had a 99 or 96.5. Should they be 4-1
- 36:30Speaker 7: or should they be 1-4? No, they should be 4-1.
- 36:33Speaker 7: All they needed to do was kick that field goal
- 36:34Speaker 7: against the Rams. They had a 96% chance of winning.
- 36:37Speaker 2: Don't kick it. Go for it on fourth down. Get stuffed.
- 36:40Speaker 2: 98-yard drive. Lose the game.
- 36:42Speaker 7: And then they had a 99% chance of beating the
- 36:45Speaker 7: Jags and lost.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Dude, I'll say this. Drake May is back. Drake May
- 36:50Speaker 2: is back. Back.
- 36:52Speaker 4: Patriots, I'm going to beat the hell out of the Raiders.
- 36:55Speaker 2: Doza, though. Doza. Doza got in.
- 36:58Speaker 4: Doza kind of gets in because the game's just out
- 36:59Speaker 4: of reach.
- 37:00Speaker 1: Yeah, but Doza got a little play time. And he
- 37:03Speaker 1: handled it the correct way.
- 37:04Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Good stat line. Kept the ball in front of him.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Was good on first and second down.
- 37:08Speaker 2: Just get some work in.
- 37:10Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 37:11Speaker 2: Started to sprinkle.
- 37:11Speaker 1: He dipped the toe in a little bit. Don't make
- 37:13Speaker 1: him dive in. Dip the toe.
- 37:14Speaker 2: Are the Packers back? That's a question.
- 37:16Speaker 4: Dude, they beat the dog out of the Bears, man.
- 37:19Speaker 2: Five turnovers. Two is done. The Packers. Yeah, Bears, five turnovers. Yeah.
- 37:27Speaker 2: I love also slinging it out there a little bit, dude.
- 37:29Speaker 2: How about Golden, huh?
- 37:30Speaker 1: First-round pick, first one in 22 years last year. Get
- 37:34Speaker 1: himself 120-plus receiving yards.
- 37:36Speaker 2: Oops. Not bad.
- 37:37Speaker 4: Chargers 0-5 for the first time since 03.
- 37:41Speaker 1: And, dude, that was one of the sadder Jim Harbaugh
- 37:43Speaker 1: press conferences I've had to watch in my life. Yeah,
- 37:46Speaker 1: that was sad.
- 37:47Speaker 2: It was sad.
- 37:48Speaker 1: He kind of said all the things that he usually says,
- 37:50Speaker 1: but in a way, like, sadder voice.
- 37:51Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 37:52Speaker 2: I think he's a little empty inside. Yeah. Didn't they
- 37:54Speaker 2: ask him what to say to the team and he
- 37:55Speaker 2: just said, I don't know. That's tough. Did they make
- 37:59Speaker 2: a move? The Chargers? With their head coach?
- 38:04Speaker 3: Not their head coach.
- 38:06Speaker 6: OC?
- 38:06Speaker 8: Quarterback?
- 38:08Speaker 4: Dude, it's probably like all of that fan base.
- 38:13Speaker 2: I have no clue. Yeah. You got to do something, right?
- 38:17Speaker 2: You got to get right. You got to win one.
- 38:19Speaker 2: Got to win one to win two. Just get your
- 38:20Speaker 2: first win. Yep.
- 38:22Speaker 1: Got to win one to win two. Shout out the 49ers.
- 38:24Speaker 1: Was it a first down with the Seattle Seahawks?
- 38:26Speaker 2: Don't know. But shout out the 49ers. My new Super
- 38:29Speaker 2: Bowl pick. I feel like it was a first down.
- 38:31Speaker 2: I feel like it was as well.
- 38:32Speaker 4: It was a gritty first down by Cooper Cup.
- 38:34Speaker 1: Yeah, shout out Cooper Cup. Lamar Jackson off the field.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Ravens still get it done in OT.
- 38:40Speaker 2: Yeah, against my man. Yeah, but still get it done.
- 38:45Speaker 2: No Lamar. It's all about winning in this league.
- 38:47Speaker 1: Derrick Henry goes off yet again because Derrick Henry does
- 38:49Speaker 1: those things. He just continues to go off. He's the
- 38:51Speaker 1: new Man that can beat Father Time at this moment.
- 38:55Speaker 1: That's Kevin's Natural Foods Clean Take.

- 42:04Speaker 1: I don't know why my brain is deciding no L's
- 42:06Speaker 1: for me today on that moment right there.
- 42:08Speaker 2: You know, I did the RU Garbage podcast and I
- 42:11Speaker 2: told them I went to Opelika High School and they
- 42:13Speaker 2: thought it was funny that it's like a high school.
- 42:16Speaker 2: There you go. How was it from a grading point?
- 42:21Speaker 2: You mean like, is it a good school? Good school, yeah.
- 42:24Speaker 2: I think it's good, yeah. I mean, I got stabbed
- 42:27Speaker 2: by a girl with a pencil several times.
- 42:29Speaker 3: Dude.
- 42:29Speaker 2: And then I got punched in the face in the
- 42:31Speaker 2: bathroom when I was peeing once. Okay. My eye was bleeding.
- 42:35Speaker 4: Now, is this because you were being a shit stick?
- 42:37Speaker 2: No, it's just because, you know, the school was dangerous
- 42:40Speaker 2: in some ways.
- 42:41Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 42:42Speaker 2: You know, I got my locker broken into a lot
- 42:44Speaker 2: and my money stolen, but- You know, it was a
- 42:47Speaker 2: good time. It was a good time. It was a
- 42:49Speaker 2: good time.
- 42:50Speaker 1: It brought you into the man you are today. Fun
- 42:51Speaker 1: story about getting stabbed by a girl. This guy, I
- 42:54Speaker 1: can't remember his name, but my freshman year of high school,
- 42:56Speaker 1: he and his girlfriend broke up and I made a
- 42:58Speaker 1: joke about, I'm going to date your girlfriend. And he
- 42:59Speaker 1: stabbed me with a pen. Wow. And I still have
- 43:01Speaker 1: a pen mark in my thigh to this day.
- 43:04Speaker 2: How old are you? I was 14. Wow. 14 years young.
- 43:07Speaker 1: Absolutely, so just saying that we have a lot in common.
- 43:10Speaker 2: I was probably 12 when I got stabbed, but yeah,
- 43:12Speaker 2: that's very close.
- 43:13Speaker 1: Only two years apart, something to also think about.
- 43:16Speaker 2: I thought you.
- 43:16Speaker 4: Were asking about the GPA for like the grading scale.
- 43:20Speaker 1: What is the grading scale? Do you guys just use classic?
- 43:22Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. Is it 4.0 or an 11.0? 4.0, yeah. Okay.
- 43:26Speaker 4: I grew up with 11, 11.0 grading scale.
- 43:30Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of that before? Yeah, me either.
- 43:32Speaker 2: Sounds like something they made up to make it so
- 43:35Speaker 2: that it's not so easy to look like you're not
- 43:38Speaker 2: doing well.
- 43:38Speaker 1: My boy, the 10.6 GPA. 10.6, that's good.
- 43:41Speaker 2: 10.6 sounds really good. Out of 11 is great. Yeah,
- 43:43Speaker 2: out of 11 is awesome. Top 10%. What would that
- 43:45Speaker 2: have been if it were a 4.0 though? I think
- 43:49Speaker 2: we looked it up, like a 3.85. Oh, that's still good. Yeah,
- 43:52Speaker 2: that's really... No, that's still good. That's really good. Yeah,
- 43:54Speaker 2: I mean, I was humming. Yeah. I kept it up
- 43:57Speaker 2: in college. I don't know. I was just doing seven
- 43:58Speaker 2: GPA in my junior year of high school. I think
- 44:00Speaker 2: I was probably like a 2.8, something like that. That's
- 44:02Speaker 2: where I ended up at. I ended up getting to
- 44:04Speaker 2: a 2.8. Like a C's? Yeah. It's like bowling, dude.
- 44:07Speaker 1: Straight down the middle. No reason to put a curve
- 44:08Speaker 1: on it. Just go right down the middle.
- 44:10Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm saying, too. Yeah. I just want to,
- 44:12Speaker 2: you know, I want to pass. I want to get
- 44:14Speaker 2: out of here. But that's... I don't need... You know,
- 44:17Speaker 2: I don't need to be, I'm not going to college. So, yeah.
- 44:20Speaker 1: Did you know, was it a choice or would you
- 44:23Speaker 1: just like always kind of like, I'm into comedy? Because
- 44:25Speaker 1: we were sitting off the bus just a second ago
- 44:28Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, what are you into? You're like,
- 44:29Speaker 1: I literally don't like anything other than comedy and country music.
- 44:33Speaker 1: And I was trying to figure out your vices because
- 44:35Speaker 1: the conversation was around Spooktober and this haunted house theme
- 44:38Speaker 1: you saw around you, but you don't give a hoot.
- 44:40Speaker 2: No, I don't. I don't do any holidays. Yeah. And I.
- 44:43Speaker 2: It's like Mormon.
- 44:44Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 44:45Speaker 2: Or no, no, no. Almost. Yeah. Jehovah's Witness. Jehovah's Witness.
- 44:48Speaker 2: I'm not a Jehovah's Witness. Yes, that's the one. You're
- 44:50Speaker 2: not a Jehovah's Witness. I am religious. And I talk,
- 44:53Speaker 2: when Jehovah's Witnesses come, I find... The best way, just
- 44:57Speaker 2: start talking to them about the Bible. They'll get out
- 45:00Speaker 2: of there.
- 45:01Speaker 6: Oh, really?
- 45:01Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. I started talking to
- 45:03Speaker 2: this guy one day about it. He goes, well, I
- 45:05Speaker 2: got to go. He just knocked up. Okay. All right. Well,
- 45:09Speaker 2: that's the way. That's the way to get him off there.
- 45:11Speaker 2: Start talking to him about the Old Testament. Yeah. He's like,
- 45:13Speaker 2: I got to get out of here. He's not about
- 45:16Speaker 2: that at all. Yeah.
- 45:18Speaker 4: So you're not into anything... Is that true what you're saying?
- 45:21Speaker 4: That's the truth you gave me, but we just met.
- 45:23Speaker 4: You're not into college ball like I know you.
- 45:25Speaker 2: Were close to Auburn. Well, I used to love college football.
- 45:28Speaker 2: I mean, it was like the best. And I just
- 45:30Speaker 2: feel like the NIL and– well, when Nick Saban retired,
- 45:34Speaker 2: it feels like college football died to me. But also,
- 45:37Speaker 2: I don't know, it feels like there was this– I
- 45:40Speaker 2: don't know. Everybody's making money and you always wanted them
- 45:43Speaker 2: to make money, but now it feels like they're making
- 45:46Speaker 2: money in like a weird way. I don't understand it
- 45:49Speaker 2: all the way, but my understanding is one guy could
- 45:52Speaker 2: be making millions and another guy's like, I don't know,
- 45:57Speaker 2: barely making any. And they're on the same team.
- 46:00Speaker 4: Maybe a punter kicker could be making like 80 grand,
- 46:03Speaker 4: which 80 grand in college is.
- 46:05Speaker 2: It's still good. It's still good.
- 46:07Speaker 1: The lowest, the last I heard about, I went to
- 46:09Speaker 1: the University of Michigan, the lowest guys on the total ball,
- 46:12Speaker 1: you're a backup offensive lineman. You're making like $ 65, 000 a year.
- 46:16Speaker 2: But think about... But also free education.
- 46:18Speaker 4: Yeah, but bro, our scholarship checks, like we had the 100% scholarship,
- 46:24Speaker 4: but our scholarship checks annually was about 14, $ 15, 000. Hell yeah.
- 46:30Speaker 4: And thinking about you get a $ 900 check or a
- 46:32Speaker 4: thousand dollar check. You pay rent because you're splitting a
- 46:35Speaker 4: house with the boys. You get a few hundred left over.
- 46:37Speaker 4: Like you feel like you got money.
- 46:40Speaker 2: Yeah. These dudes, even if you're making 65 or 70,
- 46:42Speaker 2: like bro, you are living life. In college. And if
- 46:47Speaker 2: you're the kicker and you're not making a lot of
- 46:49Speaker 2: money and you miss a kick, you got to go,
- 46:52Speaker 2: listen guys, I'm only getting 80 grand a year. Exactly.
- 46:55Speaker 2: You want me to make the kick, pay me some money.
- 46:57Speaker 1: That's great reverse psychology. A lot of people think to
- 46:59Speaker 1: pay them less, but you're saying, no, pay them more.
- 47:01Speaker 2: Yeah. Pay them more. Yeah.
- 47:03Speaker 1: A lot of your comedy. revolves around the trailer park.
- 47:08Speaker 1: You grew up in a trailer park.
- 47:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 47:10Speaker 1: What was that experience like?
- 47:11Speaker 2: Well, I loved it. I love living in a trailer. I,
- 47:13Speaker 2: you know, it wasn't until I got like in high
- 47:15Speaker 2: school that I realized that like, you know, that's like
- 47:18Speaker 2: poor people stuff. Then I started to feel weird about it,
- 47:21Speaker 2: but growing up, it was great. We, you know, we
- 47:23Speaker 2: knew all the trailer park. We, I had a bunch
- 47:26Speaker 2: of friends. We had woods on either side of us.
- 47:28Speaker 2: So we were just playing in the woods all day.
- 47:29Speaker 2: I had dirt road. I mean, it was great. That's awesome.
- 47:32Speaker 1: In high school, when you started to get nervous about
- 47:34Speaker 1: it and your friends would be like, hey, can we
- 47:35Speaker 1: come over?
- 47:35Speaker 2: You'd be like, no. Well, when I was 14, we moved. Okay.
- 47:40Speaker 2: After ninth grade year, we moved to a house, right?
- 47:43Speaker 2: And I just remember thinking, next year, I'm going to
- 47:46Speaker 2: get my learner's permit. And this is going to be
- 47:48Speaker 2: really weird when people want to see it. And it
- 47:51Speaker 2: has lot eight Moore's trailer park on it. It really
- 47:54Speaker 2: was inside me like, oh no. Really? And that's why
- 47:58Speaker 2: doing comedy about living in a trailer park really helped me.
- 48:01Speaker 2: Because I'm like, now I'm able to take this thing
- 48:03Speaker 2: that was an insecurity, make it a positive.
- 48:06Speaker 4: When did that transition happen for you? First, I think
- 48:08Speaker 4: that's a couple- I got a question on trailer park life.
- 48:11Speaker 4: What was the anxiety like when you got like a,
- 48:14Speaker 4: you know, you're flirting with a girl and you got
- 48:17Speaker 4: a crush and you want them to come over to
- 48:19Speaker 4: the house or the trailer And then she's set to
- 48:22Speaker 4: come over. It's like, I say, say like we were middle-class,
- 48:25Speaker 4: like we had one bathroom amongst the entire family. When
- 48:28Speaker 4: a girl was coming over, I would almost do just
- 48:29Speaker 4: like a deep dive clean on absolutely everything. So that
- 48:33Speaker 4: way it's like, you know, you're trying to make it
- 48:34Speaker 4: look as good as possible. What kind of anxiety was like?
- 48:37Speaker 2: Well, you know what? It wasn't happening. So, you know,
- 48:42Speaker 2: I mean, it's like there were girls that lived in
- 48:44Speaker 2: the trailer park and there were also other trailer park people.
- 48:47Speaker 2: Like Auburn, even the campus has trailer parks that college
- 48:51Speaker 2: students live in. Oh, really? I mean, it's a huge,
- 48:53Speaker 2: you know, so as you get older, now you're going
- 48:55Speaker 2: to parties in the trailer park. And actually I bought
- 48:58Speaker 2: the trailer that I grew up in when I was 19.
- 49:00Speaker 2: I bought it back for a thousand dollars. And I
- 49:03Speaker 2: moved back in there. So then I was partying in
- 49:06Speaker 2: the trailer.
- 49:07Speaker 3: Nice.
- 49:07Speaker 2: And it was fun.
- 49:08Speaker 1: Was there like some sort of, like you wanted it
- 49:11Speaker 1: back because of all the memories that were taking place
- 49:14Speaker 1: in the trailer? Or were you just, you just were like, hey,
- 49:16Speaker 1: this is, I'm comfortable with it.
- 49:17Speaker 2: Trailer board boys are up. Yeah. Well, my... my sister
- 49:21Speaker 2: moved into the trailer after we moved out and then
- 49:24Speaker 2: she traded it in on another trailer, you know, like
- 49:27Speaker 2: a car. So I went to the dealership to see
- 49:31Speaker 2: if I could buy it back and I don't think
- 49:33Speaker 2: they wanted to deal with it. So they were like,
- 49:35Speaker 2: how about a thousand bucks? If I had any negotiation
- 49:38Speaker 2: skills at the time, I probably could have got it
- 49:40Speaker 2: down way low. Yeah, probably. I don't think they wanted
- 49:42Speaker 2: it at all.
- 49:43Speaker 1: Now, was this a trailer like with wheels or was
- 49:46Speaker 1: it a double-wad?
- 49:47Speaker 2: It did have wheels. It wasn't a double-wad, single-wad. And
- 49:49Speaker 2: I found it. It got moved. So we lived there
- 49:53Speaker 2: in the 80s and early 90s. And then I moved
- 49:56Speaker 2: back early 2000s. And then I sold it to move
- 50:02Speaker 2: to Charleston, South Carolina. And I made, I think I
- 50:04Speaker 2: sold it for 2,500 bucks. Oh, big. I flipped it,
- 50:08Speaker 2: made some money. 100 plus percent on that board right there.
- 50:10Speaker 2: No problem. I'm going to do a 1031 exchange. Let's
- 50:11Speaker 2: get a house now. And they moved it. So I
- 50:13Speaker 2: couldn't find it. My whole old trailer park's gone. So
- 50:16Speaker 2: I went looking for it and I found it. I
- 50:18Speaker 2: found a lady at the grocery store. Her son bought
- 50:20Speaker 2: it for me and she told me where it was at.
- 50:22Speaker 2: So I went and I found it and I knocked
- 50:24Speaker 2: on the guy's door. He didn't answer. I left him
- 50:26Speaker 2: a note. He texted me and he was like, he goes,
- 50:29Speaker 2: so you say this used to be your trailer park,
- 50:31Speaker 2: who owned it before you? And I gave him this,
- 50:34Speaker 2: the longest history of ownership that anyone would ever know
- 50:39Speaker 2: about a trailer. And he goes, sorry, bud, you got
- 50:42Speaker 2: the wrong trailer. And I was able to point out
- 50:44Speaker 2: to him, I go, you see that eight on the
- 50:47Speaker 2: side of your trailer? That's not your address. We painted
- 50:50Speaker 2: that on there, you know? So, and the guy eventually goes, well,
- 50:53Speaker 2: it's not me, man. It's my wife, but she's about
- 50:55Speaker 2: to go to detox. So then you can come look
- 50:57Speaker 2: at it. And but you know.
- 50:59Speaker 1: So she got through detox. She did the whole thing.
- 51:01Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. I never got to go
- 51:03Speaker 2: look at it, but I told him, I go, I
- 51:05Speaker 2: get it. If you don't want me to come looking
- 51:07Speaker 2: around your trailer, I get it. But you know, it
- 51:10Speaker 2: is my trailer.
- 51:10Speaker 1: People get territorial about their things. That's perfectly understandable.
- 51:13Speaker 2: And he probably had a lot going on. Is this
- 51:14Speaker 2: you in this photo right here? Yeah. Look at that
- 51:16Speaker 2: with the Michigan shirt on. Look at that.
- 51:20Speaker 1: We've both been stabbed two years apart. We both have Michigan.
- 51:24Speaker 2: Well, my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law grew up in Michigan. Really? And, uh,
- 51:28Speaker 2: he went to, uh, university of Michigan at that's him
- 51:32Speaker 2: back there. Yeah. That's guy. Wow, you really, where is this?
- 51:36Speaker 2: My Twitter. Okay, all right. But University of Michigan at Flint. Nice,
- 51:41Speaker 2: good water up there. So yeah, yeah. And this is
- 51:44Speaker 2: us in the trailer. And that's him when he's older
- 51:46Speaker 2: and I'm still wearing Michigan. Look at me. I was
- 51:48Speaker 2: a little jacked there for me.
- 51:49Speaker 1: You got a little something going on. You definitely see
- 51:51Speaker 1: separation between shoulder and bicep.
- 51:54Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. So yeah, you got a little Michigan in you.
- 51:57Speaker 2: I like that.
- 51:57Speaker 1: And then my brother-in-law, we're in the Auburn. So Auburn,
- 52:01Speaker 1: moved away, came back, lived in your trailer. Where was
- 52:03Speaker 1: that space that you moved to?
- 52:06Speaker 2: Back into the trailer? No, no, no.
- 52:07Speaker 1: So you went trailer, moved out, and then you said
- 52:10Speaker 1: you left.
- 52:10Speaker 2: Well, we moved about a mile in front of the
- 52:12Speaker 2: high school. So we had this kind of log cabin house. Yeah,
- 52:15Speaker 2: this is my dad. Yeah. And wow. Wow. This is
- 52:18Speaker 2: all out there. And, but we moved, so we moved
- 52:22Speaker 2: about a mile away. And so I had this log
- 52:24Speaker 2: cabin house and then my mom started dating this guy
- 52:27Speaker 2: and she would be at his house all the time.
- 52:28Speaker 2: My parents are divorced. And so I just started having
- 52:32Speaker 2: parties at my mom's house all the time. And she
- 52:34Speaker 2: had no problem with that? She didn't really know to
- 52:37Speaker 2: the scale what was going on. And it was great.
- 52:40Speaker 2: I mean, it was the best thing that ever happened
- 52:42Speaker 2: to me. I went from being insecure about where I
- 52:45Speaker 2: live to inviting everyone I could to my mom's house.
- 52:49Speaker 4: God, I love that. When did everything start to shift
- 52:53Speaker 4: for you? Because you were in comedy since when?
- 52:56Speaker 2: High school? No, I moved to Charleston, South Carolina in 2003. Okay.
- 53:02Speaker 2: And I started doing a little comedy. But there was
- 53:04Speaker 2: no scene in Charleston. And I was drinking, living on
- 53:07Speaker 2: the beach. And comedy was just kind of like a
- 53:09Speaker 2: fun little hobby. I never had- Because you enjoyed watching
- 53:12Speaker 2: it and you're like, let me go give this a shot.
- 53:14Speaker 2: I liked watching it. Yeah. And I moved with a
- 53:17Speaker 2: buddy and then he moved his girlfriend up and then
- 53:19Speaker 2: we split up. And then I was just kind of
- 53:22Speaker 2: on my own in this new city. So I took
- 53:24Speaker 2: some improv classes to meet some people. I was always funny,
- 53:27Speaker 2: but I never thought of comedy as any kind of job.
- 53:31Speaker 2: I just grew up, my mom worked at a you know,
- 53:33Speaker 2: a factory that made VHS tapes. My dad sold insurance.
- 53:36Speaker 2: I wasn't, I never thought I could do this, you know,
- 53:40Speaker 2: never even crossed my mind, but I did a little
- 53:43Speaker 2: improv and then I got into standup through that. And
- 53:45Speaker 2: it was like, this is fun. I'm having some fun,
- 53:48Speaker 2: but I was also drinking a lot, which was, you know,
- 53:53Speaker 2: a blast. Charleston, South Carolina is a great, great city.
- 53:56Speaker 2: That's where I was living and just partying it up
- 53:58Speaker 2: and not, you know, not focusing on anything, not caring.
- 54:02Speaker 2: And how old are you at this time? 21 when
- 54:04Speaker 2: I moved there. Okay. So you're getting after it.
- 54:06Speaker 4: Is there any focus in your mind when all this
- 54:07Speaker 4: is taking place? You're like, I'm going to be out here.
- 54:09Speaker 4: I'm going to have a good time. I'm just going
- 54:10Speaker 4: to do a few things that I want to do
- 54:12Speaker 4: and kind of see where life takes me.
- 54:13Speaker 2: Or did you have something in your mind? I had
- 54:15Speaker 2: no idea. I'm just like, all I want to do
- 54:18Speaker 2: is enjoy myself, party, meet women. That's all I wanted
- 54:23Speaker 2: to do. I never had any goal in my life,
- 54:27Speaker 2: I don't think.
- 54:29Speaker 1: So comedy just kind of fell into the lap of like, Oh,
- 54:31Speaker 1: this allows me to do this.
- 54:34Speaker 2: And then, yeah, it's like, now I can go up
- 54:36Speaker 2: on stage, tell a joke. Now I have something to
- 54:38Speaker 2: talk to a girl in a bar about. And so
- 54:41Speaker 2: I was like, this is great. But then I moved
- 54:44Speaker 2: to the beach and really like, even comedy fell, fell
- 54:47Speaker 2: to the wayside. I was just, you know, waiting tables.
- 54:51Speaker 1: Something about a wave hitting against the sand kind of
- 54:54Speaker 1: gets you out of the zone of wanting to work hard.
- 54:57Speaker 2: At any point. I spent every day on the beach.
- 54:59Speaker 2: I was so sunburned that my forehead kept like scabbing
- 55:03Speaker 2: over because I was so sunburned. And it was the
- 55:06Speaker 2: best time. The best time.
- 55:08Speaker 1: You go back and would you want to do that
- 55:10Speaker 1: all over again?
- 55:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 55:12Speaker 2: I mean, I could do it so much better now. Yeah.
- 55:15Speaker 1: If you went back and knowing what you know now
- 55:18Speaker 1: about comedy, your life, your career, your choices, you went
- 55:20Speaker 1: back to that guy with a scab on his forehead
- 55:23Speaker 1: from the sunburns, what would you do differently?
- 55:25Speaker 2: Well, I would drink less. Okay. That would be the
- 55:28Speaker 2: first move because I thought drinking was helping me. But
- 55:32Speaker 2: the moment I quit drinking, everything got better for me.
- 55:35Speaker 1: When did you decide to stop drinking? So you were
- 55:39Speaker 1: 21 living on the beach. At what point were you like, okay,
- 55:41Speaker 1: I'm done drinking?
- 55:42Speaker 2: At 30. At 30. It took me, you know, basically
- 55:44Speaker 2: 10 years to figure it out. Yeah, it took you
- 55:46Speaker 2: your 20s. All good.
- 55:46Speaker 1: A lot of people don't figure what they want to
- 55:47Speaker 1: do until they're older. Colonel Sanders, right? 65 when he
- 55:50Speaker 1: started with Kentucky Fried Chicken.
- 55:52Speaker 2: So there you go. A little history lesson right there.
- 55:53Speaker 2: I didn't know that. It's a crazy pool.
- 55:56Speaker 1: Listen, sometimes you see things on the internet and you
- 55:58Speaker 1: see it with you for the rest of your life.
- 56:00Speaker 2: I think I could do everything better, but I also
- 56:03Speaker 2: think I might bum everyone out now. Okay. You know
- 56:06Speaker 2: what I mean? Like now I got all these... You know,
- 56:09Speaker 2: these things that I don't like. When I was younger,
- 56:12Speaker 2: I was like, let's do everything.
- 56:13Speaker 1: Yeah, you probably were into holidays when you were younger.
- 56:15Speaker 2: Yeah. But now. Halloween, such a big holiday. It's so
- 56:19Speaker 2: much fun. When you're 20s, when you're drinking, everybody, you know,
- 56:22Speaker 2: it's like, you know, the girls are, you know, whatever
- 56:25Speaker 2: costume they can get with the least amount of clothes.
- 56:28Speaker 2: And you're like, this is the best. And I'm out here,
- 56:31Speaker 2: you know, hammered. I dress like, I dress like, what's
- 56:35Speaker 2: the guy? Pirates of the Caribbean guy. Oh, Jack Sparrow. Yeah,
- 56:39Speaker 2: one year and it was great. I remember I walked
- 56:40Speaker 2: down the street. I was really drunk middle of the day.
- 56:42Speaker 2: High-fived everyone as I went down the street. They loved it.
- 56:46Speaker 2: It was the best thing. They loved it. It was
- 56:47Speaker 2: the best thing. Then I went to a party, got
- 56:49Speaker 2: blacked out, got into a fight with my buddies.
- 56:52Speaker 1: Wake up the next day on the beach, started all
- 56:54Speaker 1: over again.
- 56:54Speaker 2: Went to a Waffle House by myself. I love that.
- 56:58Speaker 1: In this time before comedy, you worked in pesticide.
- 57:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 57:03Speaker 2: For eight years, nine years?
- 57:04Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 57:05Speaker 2: Eight years. Yeah, I did four years as a part-time guy. Okay. Seasonal.
- 57:10Speaker 1: And was this in Charleston?
- 57:11Speaker 2: In Charleston. Okay, got you. And I worked for, my
- 57:15Speaker 2: boss was a guy named Stu Barber who played for
- 57:19Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills in the, I don't know, Jack Kemp
- 57:23Speaker 2: was the quarterback when he played. Okay. And he was like,
- 57:26Speaker 2: I don't know, six-time All-Pro or something like that. I
- 57:29Speaker 2: don't know. He was 77. Nice. Yeah. Respect the sevens. And,
- 57:36Speaker 2: and yeah, so it was great. This guy, you know,
- 57:38Speaker 2: ended up becoming somewhat of a mentor for me. I
- 57:41Speaker 2: think he saw that I was, you know, a disaster.
- 57:45Speaker 4: But now is this the time when you're with the
- 57:47Speaker 4: pesticide job? Is this like in your twenties? Is this
- 57:49Speaker 4: like when you're trying to hit the beach all the time?
- 57:52Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm drinking and I'm showing
- 57:54Speaker 2: up hungover to work with this guy every day and
- 57:57Speaker 2: he's smoking, he's chain smoking cigarettes and just a real
- 58:00Speaker 2: big intimidating guy. And so he's like teaching me things
- 58:04Speaker 2: about life while I'm real hungover and sweating and, and
- 58:08Speaker 2: then he retires and then I take his job. Oh, nice.
- 58:12Speaker 2: And then after that, we start to, we would meet
- 58:14Speaker 2: up for lunch and he would, you know, we would
- 58:16Speaker 2: have a bunch of vodka sodas and at lunch and
- 58:19Speaker 2: I realized, well, he's probably an alcoholic too. And I'm
- 58:24Speaker 2: on lunch break. I'm going back to work. You had
- 58:26Speaker 2: to go back to start doing pesticide.
- 58:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 58:28Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 58:28Speaker 1: Did you decide that with the pesticide thing, like I'm
- 58:31Speaker 1: done with this, I'm going to go pursue comedy full time?
- 58:33Speaker 2: Or did you get a break? When I quit drinking,
- 58:36Speaker 2: I was like, I quit everything. I wanted to quit
- 58:41Speaker 2: just everything. I lost, I got real fat. I lost
- 58:44Speaker 2: 40 pounds and In two months, I was biking. I've
- 58:47Speaker 2: sold my car. I was biking everywhere. And bicycle, a
- 58:52Speaker 2: lot of times people think it's a motorcycle, but I
- 58:54Speaker 2: was biking. You had 10 speed. Yeah. So I really
- 59:00Speaker 2: took a year where I almost thought I wouldn't do
- 59:02Speaker 2: comedy anymore. But as a drinker, I won a couple
- 59:05Speaker 2: of comedy contests in Charleston. I was voted best local comic.
- 59:08Speaker 2: I mean, things were on the rise comedy wise, but
- 59:12Speaker 2: I was, I just felt bad. I was smoking a
- 59:15Speaker 2: pack of cigarettes a day and dipping when I couldn't
- 59:18Speaker 2: smoke and drinking all the time. And I mean, it
- 59:22Speaker 2: was the best, but I felt terrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 59:24Speaker 4: When did the shift like happen? You said you kind
- 59:26Speaker 4: of quit everything for like a year. And then you
- 59:29Speaker 4: referred to this guy as like a mentor of yours.
- 59:31Speaker 4: Like when did it all actually start to the breaking
- 59:34Speaker 4: point mentally to be like, okay, I'm going to go
- 59:35Speaker 4: all in on this thing.
- 59:37Speaker 2: Uh, I would say about mid 2012, once I had
- 59:41Speaker 2: given everything up and I came back and I was like, uh,
- 59:46Speaker 2: you know, now, now that I got some focus and
- 59:48Speaker 2: I'm better at comedy, I was, I was doing well,
- 59:51Speaker 2: but now I'm better. I had to rewrite all my jokes.
- 59:54Speaker 2: I could remember everything that I was doing. I could focus.
- 59:58Speaker 2: I was even better at dating. All this time I
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: wasted drinking. I could have been like really focused and
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: honed in. I mean, if I had quit drinking at 21,
- 1:00:09Speaker 2: I mean, I might've taken over the world by now.
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: It sounds like it. I mean, it's, you know, so.
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: Is that always the biggest like, you know, piece of
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: advice you give? Because now that you're successful, you got
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: a book coming out and everything else. I would assume
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: a lot of young comics will ask the question like
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: hey if you could tell me anything you're probably saying
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: like fuck now i gotta try and give one piece
- 1:00:31Speaker 4: of advice to somebody for something.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: Well a lot of people can handle drinking right so
- 1:00:35Speaker 2: i'm like not against it but i can't handle it
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: i have one beer and then i'm like let's do
- 1:00:41Speaker 2: it you know i'm ready to go all night even
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: though i drink two beers and i look drunk i
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: can drink the whole night and i black out and
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: lose control and my eyes get glossy and You know,
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: those guys, you get to look real sweaty. I mean,
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: that's me.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: I think everybody here on this bus has been there
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: one or two times in our life.
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: I mean, I used to go there weekly and I
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: had a buddy that I used to drink with and
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: he was the same way. And it's really the, like
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: when you have a friend that you can't embarrass and
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: he can embarrass you, it's a nightmare for drinking. Yeah,
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: no doubt. We would get kicked out of a bar
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: and laugh our way to the next bar. You know,
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: it like didn't, it didn't matter.
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: Did you ever have like the Sunday, like the scaries
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: or anything like that? Or was it like, hey, we're
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: just going to keep pushing all the way through? Because
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: the thing for me is like when I was in
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: college or even early, like out of college, when I
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: would go crazy, like Friday, Saturday, that Sunday was like
- 1:01:36Speaker 1: a dimly lit room and a pen and quill, like
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: freehand poetry type of feeling, right?
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: I'm just like really, really sad.
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: I don't want to do this. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: the time I was sad. Okay. But when I had to,
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: you know, when you have to go to work, right?
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: That was the thing about the pesticide job that was
- 1:01:53Speaker 2: really good for me. Like I, like my buddies all
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: waited tables so they could sleep till noon and then
- 1:01:59Speaker 2: work the night shift. I had to get up and
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: go to work. So I would be really sad, but
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: I'm like, here I go. I got to go to Lowe's.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: I got to go to Lowe's and stock pesticides where
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: people are not going to be nice to me all day.
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: And I would do comedy at night and I would
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: just have these great shows and I would be the
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: hero of the room. And then the next morning I'm
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: at a Lowe's where people are yelling at me and
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: they have no idea what I, when people at Lowe's
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: found out I did comedy, they would go, well, you're
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: not even funny. I go, yeah, I hate this job.
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: I hate you. I hate everybody in here.
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: 2012, it all turned around for you or it started
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: to turn around for you. When did you make the
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: transition to go to Nashville, Tennessee?
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: 2014. Okay. I did two years after I quit drinking
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: and I got much better at comedy. I got so
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: much better, so much faster.
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: How many days a week are you going to get
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: so much better? Let's say I'm an aspiring comic. How
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: many days a week do I need to be going
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: to the comedy club to actually... Figure out.
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: Who I am as a comedian. Well, like barely any,
- 1:03:07Speaker 2: when you, when you talk to a comic that, that
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: started in LA or New York or Chicago or DC,
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: like they can go up every night, multiple times. But
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: in Charleston, we had like maybe one open mic a week,
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: maybe two, and then one show, one good show a month.
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: So there was very little stage time. Really? So, but
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: you know, I hosted one of the open mics. So,
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: you know, I utilized the stage time as much as
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: I could. I was always writing, not afraid to bomb,
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: not afraid to have jokes that didn't work. It's like,
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: you gotta, you need material.
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: Is that a learned trait, the not being afraid to bomb?
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: Yeah. It is? A hundred percent. I mean, I guess
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: some guys don't care right away, but I think you
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: have to care a little bit or... You're never going
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: to get good. I know guys that bomb and come
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: off stage and they go, crushed it. Yeah. You know,
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: you have to know that you bombed.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: How hard is it knowing as much as you know
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: now about being a comic, seeing somebody come off that's
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: like starting to be like, I killed it. Like watching
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: the lack of awareness. Are you a guy that goes
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: up and goes, hey, by the way.
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: I don't tell them, but I do know. I go, well,
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: you're not going to make it. In my head, I go,
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: you're never going to make it. Right. Cause you don't
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: know that you didn't do well. You know, I, I
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: did make it a point. I used to say good
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: set to everyone, you know, you go, Oh, great set.
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: But if they don't, if they don't, I won't say that.
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: What do you say instead? I'll say, did you have
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: a good time? Okay. Jared, what has he said to you?
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: He opened for you.
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: I was about to say, when we had that show,
- 1:04:35Speaker 3: I don't think I heard great set. I did not
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: have a great set that night. I think I bombed
- 1:04:40Speaker 3: that night.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: Well, I think it's like, you know, you don't want
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: people to feel bad, but they got to know that
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: they didn't do well.
- 1:04:48Speaker 4: Have you ever given anybody like some direct feedback that
- 1:04:52Speaker 4: didn't go well?
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: Yeah, and usually that doesn't, it never goes well. I mean,
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: even like comics that I think can handle it, Sometimes
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: I've said stuff to them and they go, Oh, now
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: I'm going to be in my head about that. And
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: I go, Oh, I was just trying to help you. Right.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: Is it like a, I feel like egos in the
- 1:05:10Speaker 1: world of being comedian is so strong. Like there's like a.
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: You have to do a certain amount of years. You
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: have to bomb a certain amount of times. You can't
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: just get like thrusted into it. Is that a real,
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: is that a real feeling? Someone told me once that
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: your first hundred shows don't mean anything. So don't even
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: just go up and just try material, just write and
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: try to get good and try to gain some confidence.
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: Because once you get enough material, like I have enough
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: jokes now that even if I'm bombing, I go, I
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: can switch into something that will get them on board. How,
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: how hard is it? Like, do crowds dictate a lot
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: of how well you do, or do you think in
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: your brain, like you just said, like, I always will
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: have something.
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: For every crowd. I think, I think the crowd for
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: sure dictates how it's going, but if you have enough, uh,
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: you know, enough and enough, like, um, uh, awareness and
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: read the room, I think you can get them. It
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: may take some time. That's what's hard about like a
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: late night. You know, say you're doing the Tonight Show.
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: You got five minutes. You have to write the whole
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: thing out. You send it to Jimmy Kimmel or Jimmy Fallon,
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: either one, and they approve it. Right. So then when
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: you're on the stage that night, you have to do
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: that five. So if you go out and the audience
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: is not into it. There's nothing you can do. Yeah.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: You can't go, oh, I'm just going to switch it
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: up real quick.
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: Will they pull the reins on you if you.
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: Try to switch it? You know, I've never tried. I just,
- 1:06:35Speaker 2: you know, so who knows? Maybe I'm wrong about that.
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: So you've done well. I've done well, yes. There we go.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: But I do have jokes that sometimes I lost my socks.
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: That's okay. I wore flip-flops here and then I packed
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: some socks and I got here and the socks weren't
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: in here.
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: So we're just raw dogging those boots right now?
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. All good. But I just want you to know,
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: if you're looking and you go, you guys are wearing
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: socks with those boots. Normally I do. But the, yeah,
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I've always done well on late night,
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: but some sets are better than others. You know, I
- 1:07:08Speaker 2: have some sets where it's like, it's a five minute
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: set that I do all across the country and every
- 1:07:15Speaker 2: joke gets a laugh, which is why I've decided to
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: do it on late night. And then you go out
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: and for whatever reason, they're not into it. Yeah.
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: Can you, um, I know late night supposed to be live,
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: but they filmed those things at like two in the afternoon,
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: don't they?
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: Yeah. You're in front of a live audience, but it's,
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: but it's, yeah.
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: So when it comes out at nine, 10 PM, it's
- 1:07:32Speaker 1: already been filmed earlier that day. If you go and
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: you have your five minutes and you're like, fuck up
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: the first joke and you go, Hey, let's restart. Or no,
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: there is no restart.
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: No, there's no restart. I mean, I've never tried it,
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: but I can't imagine they would be into that. Yeah.
- 1:07:46Speaker 4: I'm thinking of the time when Shane went back to SNL.
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: But SNL is actually live, right?
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: I think so. Is SNL actually live? I think so.
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: Dude, the F-bomb was hilarious, the way he got rattled
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: by the F-bomb.
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: I kind of felt bad. I think that's live.
- 1:08:01Speaker 1: But yeah, the SNL is actually live. Like late night
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: TV is not live. It's shot earlier that day.
- 1:08:09Speaker 4: Because you're saying that there's no restarts or anything else.
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, yeah, as far as I know, I mean,
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: I've never, I've never been like, Hey, let me, let
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: me redo that one. You know, fair enough. Cause I,
- 1:08:21Speaker 2: you know, I want, and as far as I know
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: about Shane now, I don't know this, I don't know
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: him very well, but as far as I know, like
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: he got like very famous before he had ever actually
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: done much TV. So being clean is a whole different
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: thing for him. Whereas I had like, I've already, you know,
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: fairly clean. Like I don't like, that wouldn't be a
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: fear for me that an F-bomb would come out filming
- 1:08:45Speaker 2: because I don't do that anyway. Yeah. When I'm performing.
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: Do you ever curse? If it were live in the car,
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: it would be different. Live in the car would be,
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: people would be like, who is this guy?
- 1:08:56Speaker 4: When you're, when you're coming up, like I was asking
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: you the question earlier, like, have you ever given anybody
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: direct feedback like were you a comedian that would try
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: and seek the feedback from comedians that you look up
- 1:09:06Speaker 4: to or to where you come off they might give
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: you something direct you're like oh shit that that one
- 1:09:10Speaker 4: kind of i can kind of tell you didn't mess
- 1:09:12Speaker 4: with that set that sucked.
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: Oh yeah well i uh you know i i In Charleston,
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: we had a small enough community to where we were
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: all real tight knit. So our open mics, we would
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: try to help each other out. We would all be
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: invested in everyone being better. So I like that. I mean,
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: that's not the same everywhere you go. But that is
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: how it was there. So I like feedback. I always
- 1:09:34Speaker 2: tell people, you can give me any joke you want,
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: any feedback you want. Just don't get mad at me
- 1:09:39Speaker 2: if I don't use it. Right. Because there's a good
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: chance I'm not going to use it. Okay. Yeah. But
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: I'll hear it. I've also been given feedback from professional people,
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: bookers or comics that I don't like and I don't use,
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: you know, where it might be good advice, but I
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: don't like it. I hold the mic like up in
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: my face and I had a booker early on tell
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: me not to do that. And I go, I like
- 1:10:02Speaker 2: doing it.
- 1:10:03Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: I don't, I'm not going to not do it.
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: It's all about feeling, feeling comfortable on stage. You have
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: like a lot of movements. Like you, you stay on
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: stationary when you're doing comedy, but you have like a
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: lot of movements, tugging at your shirt pocket. Is that
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: like part of the gig or is that just you
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: as a human being?
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: It's just me. I mean, even sitting here, I, you know,
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: I cross my legs, I uncross my legs. I put
- 1:10:23Speaker 2: the other leg, I move my hand. I can't, I
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: don't know what it is.
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: Some people just have such a way of just like
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: staying stationary. calm and stoked the entire time. I don't,
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: I don't like that either. I want to be able
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: to move around.
- 1:10:33Speaker 2: Yeah. And if I try to walk around the stage, like, uh,
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: you know, Nate, uh, Bergazzi does the, uh, uh, round now.
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: And I've done a couple of those shows with him
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: and I, you know, I'm happy that he lets me
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: do them, but I hate that. I hate the round.
- 1:10:48Speaker 2: I hate having to walk around. I don't even want
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: people looking at me from the back. Yeah. Just the front,
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: not the side, just the front.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: At a specific angle in the front too.
- 1:10:59Speaker 2: The front is where I'm comfortable people looking at me.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: That's completely fair. I don't like when you're seeing angles
- 1:11:05Speaker 2: that I can't see.
- 1:11:08Speaker 4: How'd you like being part of his movie, The Breadwinner?
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: I thought it was fun. You know what? We had
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: a good scene though. And they really cut my scene
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: down pretty short.
- 1:11:16Speaker 4: Oh, that's probably tough to see in the post-pro.
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, cause I took my daughter to the premiere
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: and my daughter's five. She'd never been to a movie,
- 1:11:23Speaker 2: but I knew this movie would be super clean. So
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: I thought this will be great. Now she did recognize me,
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: but it was like, I mean, it was so fast.
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: And I guess in the- So you.
- 1:11:32Speaker 4: Didn't know how short the scene was until you went
- 1:11:33Speaker 4: to the premiere.
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: Yes. And you're like, oh, damn. I kind of put a- Yeah. Hey, Nate,
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: what's going on? No heads up, nothing? No. And he
- 1:11:41Speaker 2: made it seem like, you know, Brian and Aaron, he
- 1:11:44Speaker 2: made it seem like their scenes were on the verge
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: of getting cut. So when I saw their scenes, I go, oh,
- 1:11:50Speaker 2: they have pretty good scenes. So mine's going to be great. Yeah.
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: And I'm not unhappy with it, but I'm like, and
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: I get why they did it. I think basically I
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: was taught, we were talking about, I'm a horse trainer
- 1:12:03Speaker 2: that's selling him a horse, but I'm actually trying to
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: give him the horse. I'm paying him money to take
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: the horse because I want him to put the horse down.
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: So I guess I get why they shortened it, but
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: it was a good scene. Yeah. And it's too bad.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: How much acting have you done before this?
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: Not very much.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: And is that more nerve wracking to you than doing comedy?
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: I don't know if it's nerve wracking. It's annoying though.
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: I don't like any film thing. It's like, you got
- 1:12:33Speaker 2: to go. They want to put makeup on you. They
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: want to do your hair. They want to dress you.
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: They love to dress me exactly the way I dress myself. Right,
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: but just with the clothes that they chose. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: They go, oh, put these on. I go, that's what
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: I wore in here. Yeah.
- 1:12:48Speaker 4: And you got to do all the extra takes. You
- 1:12:50Speaker 4: knock one out of the park. It's like, okay, you
- 1:12:51Speaker 4: need one for safety now.
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: One for safety comment is always like, dude, you know,
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: you got like, why do we got to do X, Y,
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: and Z?
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: And it's always been short parts for me, anything I do,
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: but I go in ready to go. I'm like, let's
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: knock this out. I don't want to be here all day.
- 1:13:04Speaker 2: I had the flight book the next day. We got
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: done fast enough to where I moved my flight and
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: went home later that day. I was like, let's get
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: out of here. Oh, you were in and out. Yeah.
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: And you said Aaron Weber, he was in it as well.
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: Yeah. Aaron Weber, Brian Bates, the other public figures, podcast members,
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: they were, the trash collectors at the beginning of that.
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: Dude aaron weber he was here last week yeah are
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: we allowed to talk about what we did or we
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: don't you can probably say a show we did like
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: we what's the what's the company that they work with
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: king jester that we did like something with them last
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: week and i thought aaron weber was hilarious so funny
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: dude he is just some of the comments they would
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: tell us we have like a script and we would
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: do the script and he's like all right We're just
- 1:13:41Speaker 1: going to turn the cameras on. You guys just kind
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: of stay within the script, but like do what you
- 1:13:44Speaker 1: want during it. And some of the comments he would
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: make under his breath, I think are just so funny.
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: He's extremely talented.
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: Me and Aaron have a similar attitude about life. He
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: sat in that exact chair. Yeah. Very similar. See, yeah. Well,
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: it's like, for me, it's like, I just want to
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: do comedy. That's all I want to do. And it's like,
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: there's always all these other things that come along. Like
- 1:14:06Speaker 2: I wrote a book and I want people to buy
- 1:14:08Speaker 2: the book, but I'm not a fan of writing a book.
- 1:14:13Speaker 2: I don't know that I would write another book.
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: So you're just a fan of comedy. you wrote a book,
- 1:14:18Speaker 1: you're on two separate podcasts. You're sitting on a podcast
- 1:14:21Speaker 1: right now. You don't like doing these things.
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: Yeah. So, but you just do them to kind of
- 1:14:25Speaker 2: keep promoting. Well, yeah. I mean, you want, you know,
- 1:14:27Speaker 2: it's like, you don't want to be the guy who's like,
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: I don't want to do anything. And I like, I,
- 1:14:30Speaker 2: you know, I have fun doing podcasts, but I, you know, when,
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: when you're like, you know, I got three kids and
- 1:14:36Speaker 2: I'm hanging out at home, I come off the road
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: and then I'm like, every Monday I go do public figures.
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: And it, Just feels like I come home, then I leave.
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: And so I just hate doing that, but this is
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: all fun. I mean, this is the new radio and
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: I always wanted to get on radio. Now I got
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: so much radio and I go, I don't even know
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: if people are listening to the radio.
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember the last time I put on
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: the radio and actually listened to a radio station.
- 1:15:02Speaker 2: When's the last time you listened to the radio and said, oh,
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: there's a comic in town.
- 1:15:05Speaker 4: I'd like to go see that guy. What got you
- 1:15:08Speaker 4: into the idea of writing a book?
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: Well, I got an offer. Right, right, right. I got
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: a book deal. So I thought, well, this will be fun. But,
- 1:15:15Speaker 2: you know, when you're writing a book for someone else,
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: they want you to do it the way they'd like
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: you to do it. And I understand that. But I
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: had no idea how much work it was.
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: What is the problem? Someone just comes to you and
- 1:15:25Speaker 1: they're like, hey, we'd like you to write a book.
- 1:15:27Speaker 4: Here's what it could look like. Here's what, you know,
- 1:15:28Speaker 4: all the fun that comes with that aspect. But yeah,
- 1:15:31Speaker 4: like actually getting into the idea of writing it.
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: Well, this is what they did to me. They go,
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: I go, I want to write it. And they go, okay. And, uh,
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: so I wrote a chapter, me and my wife wrote
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: a chapter and the, and the lady goes, oh, I
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: love it. More of this, more of this. And so
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: basically we wrote the whole book and then she goes, uh,
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: she goes, ah, we're going to need to get a
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: ghostwriter in here. Oh, really? And I go, well, don't
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: tell me to write the whole book.
- 1:15:56Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:15:56Speaker 1: And how long did it take you to write the
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: whole book?
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: I mean, about six months we wrote a book and then, uh,
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: you know, and then we get a ghostwriter and then, uh,
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: And then we do the whole thing all over again. God,
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: that had to be so frustrating. It was so frustrating
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: and he's great. Sean Evans. I put him on the
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: cover because he's great. I liked what he did. I
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: like how, you know, but, uh, yeah, it's so much work.
- 1:16:16Speaker 4: Is there a story that you loved having in that
- 1:16:18Speaker 4: they're like, Oh no, we got to get this one.
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: Out of here. Well, I wrote a good bit about
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: doing drugs and, uh, I feel like after a while
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: they go, there's, and not that I'm, you know, such
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: a hardcore, but it is just fun for me. I
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: don't talk about it. So, um, you know, when I
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: was younger, but it's like, after I think it was
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: too much, they were like, all right, this is just
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: too many of the same kind of thing. I just
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: wanted to talk about partying and I just thought that
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: was fun to just be like, and then me and
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: my friends did this crazy thing. And I think they
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: were like, this is too much of that. Too much
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: of that taking place. I think it was just redundant
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: as they might say.
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: Yeah, Shane was on our podcast and he was talking about,
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: you were brought up, it's actually the reason why we
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: started the process of getting you like, Asking you to
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: come on and everything. Christian Bale saw you in an airport.
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: Is that? Yeah, it was a big, uh, well him
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: saying that on this podcast was a big deal for
- 1:17:11Speaker 2: me because, uh, up until that time, it was just
- 1:17:14Speaker 2: a story that I and another comic thankfully, uh, shared. But,
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: you know, as far as we know, it never happened.
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: As far as anybody else knows, it never happened. It
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: could just be a story. It could be nothing. Yeah.
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: But this actually had some validity to it.
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: But, yeah, I mean, it's wild. Me and Brian Bates
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: were on the way to Atlanta actually to film– actually
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: to do the podcast in Atlanta for The Breadwinner. We
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: did a Breadwinner podcast with, you know, Mandy Moore and–
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: that's who it was, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then,
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: you know, a couple other people. And– You know, I
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: was complaining about it because I now have to travel
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: to do a podcast. Doing more things. Yeah, I was
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: complaining about it to Brian. And then we're in the
- 1:17:56Speaker 2: airport and I go, hey, I think that's Christian Bale.
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: And he goes, I don't think so.
- 1:18:00Speaker 4: And I go, yeah.
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: And I thought, I'd love to get a picture with him,
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: but he's with his family. I don't want to bother him.
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: So I just let it go. But I was very excited.
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: And then out of nowhere, Christian Bale is right up
- 1:18:13Speaker 2: in front of me. And it's like, hey, I'm a
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: big fan. I go, whoa. How was that? It's unbelievable.
- 1:18:21Speaker 2: It was like, I just couldn't believe it. And I said, well,
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: you know, I'm a big fan of yours too. And
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: I said, I really liked The Machinist. I wanted to,
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: I did like the machinist, but I wanted a movie
- 1:18:32Speaker 2: that said, I actually watch your movies and I didn't
- 1:18:35Speaker 2: just see Batman. Exactly.
- 1:18:37Speaker 4: You know?
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: I love that. Batman's great, but. Great movie. Yeah. Hey,
- 1:18:42Speaker 2: that's the big fan of you. What do you want
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: to kill me? Yeah. Yeah. But, and then Brian thankfully goes, uh, Hey,
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: you guys want to get a pick? And, uh, what
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: a move. And it was, uh, yeah, it's incredible. I mean, I,
- 1:18:56Speaker 2: you know, made my day. I was like, suddenly like
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: now I'm here. I am complaining about having to go
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: do this podcast. And if, if it weren't happening, then
- 1:19:07Speaker 2: this would have not happened. Is that, Christian Bale was,
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: you know, telling Shane Gillis that, can you believe I
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: saw Dusty Sly? That caused other people on other podcasts
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: to talk about it. Like they're shocked that Christian Bale
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: would be a fan of mine. I mean, I'm shocked
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: by it, but they're not allowed to be.
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: No one's allowed to talk about it like that.
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: Yeah. Is that the most starstruck you've ever been? For sure.
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: I mean, I am a Christian Bale fan. It's not
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: just the machine. I think he's a great actor. I
- 1:19:35Speaker 2: think his movies never miss. I mean, his characters are great.
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: His only miss was that Thor Love and Thunder movie,
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: but even he's great in the movie. What is that movie?
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: It's like Thor 3.
- 1:19:48Speaker 6: He's like the bad guy who's like the gold man
- 1:19:50Speaker 6: and then- I think I've.
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: Never seen it.
- 1:19:53Speaker 4: I mean, that's funny because I did not realize that
- 1:19:55Speaker 4: was him in that movie.
- 1:19:57Speaker 2: You've seen that movie?
- 1:19:58Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: Yeah. The Thor one.
- 1:19:59Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:19:59Speaker 2: I mean, Christian Bale is incredible in this, but the
- 1:20:02Speaker 2: movie is garbage.
- 1:20:04Speaker 1: I wonder how bad that is for actors to know like,
- 1:20:06Speaker 1: oh yeah, I crushed this role that I had, but
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: the movie itself just sucks.
- 1:20:09Speaker 2: Especially when the movies have been good. And then this
- 1:20:12Speaker 2: is when they started to, this is when they started
- 1:20:15Speaker 2: to dip. Started to falter all over the place.
- 1:20:17Speaker 4: That is so badass that a superstar A-lister like that's
- 1:20:20Speaker 4: coming up.
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: And he's like, yo, I'm a massive fan. Yeah. And
- 1:20:22Speaker 2: you're like, oh fuck.
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: Is there somebody you haven't met yet that you'd love
- 1:20:25Speaker 1: to meet? Who's your like number one A-list celebrity? Well,
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: I'd love to meet Hank Williams Jr.
- 1:20:30Speaker 2: Oh, hell yeah. But, There's a part of me that
- 1:20:33Speaker 2: thinks that he would not be nice to me. And
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: I just feel like he's not like a nice guy.
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: Don't meet your hero step again.
- 1:20:38Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:20:38Speaker 2: So I don't want it. But at the same time,
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: if he were rude to me, that would be kind
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: of cool too. I mean, I think, I think Hank
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: Williams Jr. is the ultimate outlaw in country music.
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: What's your take on country music now? compared to back then,
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: like 80s and 90s, as opposed to that, because there
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: is so many different genres of country music now with Spotify.
- 1:21:00Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, there is a lot of good country out there,
- 1:21:02Speaker 2: but the mainstream stuff I think is bad. Yeah.
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: I think it's- That is 100% the take that you
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: had that I would expect you to have.
- 1:21:09Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:21:09Speaker 2: It's like, you know, it's not that all of it
- 1:21:12Speaker 2: is bad music, but it's bad country. Yeah. Like it's
- 1:21:17Speaker 2: not even country anymore. It's just like, You know, there's
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: a few songs here and there that come out that
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: are good. You're like, all right, that's good. But overall,
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: it's like it's pop, it's rock, it's and I mean,
- 1:21:29Speaker 2: rock's kind of dead. It's like all music is one
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: thing now. It's all the same. It's all kind of poppy,
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: all kind of rap, all kind of, you know, a
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: little bit country.
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: I feel like the movie Trolls have a lot to
- 1:21:43Speaker 1: do with that. They put a lot of genres together.
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: Is that not a Kevin's Natural Foods clean take?
- 1:21:47Speaker 2: That would be a clean take.
- 1:21:48Speaker 1: That's a clean take. The Trolls kind of blended too
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: much of this music for us. You know, my kids
- 1:21:54Speaker 1: like the Troll songs.
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: The Troll songs are great. So I've listened to a
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: lot of them. So it actually is a nice break
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: from just kids music.
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: What are some country bands, singers that you enjoy now?
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: Because I don't want to get it. I don't want
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: to turn this into like a hate because a lot
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: of what you're saying, I agree with. I can get
- 1:22:10Speaker 1: very picky with my music that I listen to, especially
- 1:22:12Speaker 1: when it comes to country music. hearing some of this
- 1:22:13Speaker 1: like bro country, I'm like, that's not at all. And
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: then like the techno-ish like kind of beats, it's like,
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: well not.
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: This is not. Then you find yourself banging your head
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah, no doubt.
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: Like there's a couple, there's like the bro country, like
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: FGL back in the day, like you could, I would
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: be the guy sitting there and be like, this is
- 1:22:27Speaker 1: not country music. But then if you played any of
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: that album, I would know pretty much all the words
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: to that song.
- 1:22:32Speaker 2: Yeah. You know? You know, I like Zach Bryan. I
- 1:22:36Speaker 2: don't know how country that is to me, but I
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: like it. It's like kind of a folky bluegrass.
- 1:22:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:22:43Speaker 2: I like that. I like, um, there's a guy I just, uh, uh,
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: Waylon Wyatt, I think is his name. There's a, uh,
- 1:22:51Speaker 2: Waylon Wyatt. He has a song called jailbreak. It's a
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: bad ass name. It's, uh, I just found him the
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: other night. The, uh, uh, Jesse Daniel is a guy
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: who did, uh, He did my song for my Working
- 1:23:05Speaker 2: Man special. And I, this song I think is great. Well,
- 1:23:11Speaker 2: Drew Barrymore's not always in there. You know, there's, who's that,
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: Coulter Wall? Coulter Wall. That's really great stuff.
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: What's your take on a Sturgill Simpson?
- 1:23:23Speaker 2: I like that, his first album that came out like
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: 10 years ago. Yeah. I love that. I mean, I
- 1:23:30Speaker 2: love that. And his Bluegrass album is really good. I
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: like Sturgill overall. Yeah.
- 1:23:36Speaker 1: Have you heard of a band called Midland?
- 1:23:38Speaker 2: I have heard of Midland.
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: So Midland's a very interesting band to me because they're like,
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: they're so twangy that it's almost like they're being, like
- 1:23:47Speaker 1: they're making fun of old 80s and 90s.
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: Friends of the show.
- 1:23:50Speaker 1: We are friends of the show. We're close with all
- 1:23:52Speaker 1: of them. They're awesome guys. I'm a huge fan of
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: their music. But they have like, their number one song
- 1:23:57Speaker 1: is Drinking Problems. But they have a lot of like, Mark,
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: the lead singer, he's so like twanging in his voice.
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: That's like almost like they're doing a parody on like
- 1:24:06Speaker 1: 80s country music.
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: Let's see if I... Oh, I'm sorry. You have the
- 1:24:10Speaker 2: Polaroid right behind you, Taylor. Oh, yeah. I don't know.
- 1:24:14Speaker 2: I thought I had a Midland song on my playlist. Oh, yeah.
- 1:24:19Speaker 2: Their album On The Rocks, dude.
- 1:24:21Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:24:21Speaker 2: All right, I'll check that out. There's some good boys. Yeah,
- 1:24:24Speaker 2: some good boys out there. I mean, I really... I mean, it's...
- 1:24:28Speaker 2: There's a lot that I like, but I just put
- 1:24:30Speaker 2: it on a playlist and then I forget the names.
- 1:24:32Speaker 2: But I listen to 80s, 70s, 80s, 90s country. I
- 1:24:35Speaker 2: say 90s all the time, but then I dig into
- 1:24:38Speaker 2: it and I go, oh, it's really 80s country that
- 1:24:41Speaker 2: I like the most.
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: What about the Kenny Chesney's, Tim McGraw's?
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: Kenny Chesney, I like. Tim McGraw in the 90s. Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:24:50Speaker 2: And there's a couple of songs here and there that
- 1:24:53Speaker 2: I like. Who's that? Billy Currington had a couple that
- 1:24:55Speaker 2: I liked. He had a couple for sure. But Billy
- 1:24:58Speaker 2: Currington feels like he's doing what I'd like to do.
- 1:25:02Speaker 2: I think he had some hit songs, made some money,
- 1:25:06Speaker 2: moved to Hawaii, surfs, and then just comes out and
- 1:25:10Speaker 2: tours once in a while just to keep the money flowing.
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: And I think that's where it's at. Is that the
- 1:25:15Speaker 2: end goal for you? I think that's what life is
- 1:25:18Speaker 2: supposed to be. I just feel like People get so
- 1:25:20Speaker 2: successful and then they're like, oh, I never can stop
- 1:25:23Speaker 2: doing this. And then they're like trapped in their own success.
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: Right, where they can't say no to things.
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: They have to continue to travel around and do other things.
- 1:25:30Speaker 2: It's like make some money and then enjoy yourself. Enjoy
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: the fam. Yeah. You said you have three kids? I
- 1:25:37Speaker 2: have three kids, yeah. How old? My daughter's five and
- 1:25:40Speaker 2: I have a three-year-old son and a six-month-old son. Oh, buddy,
- 1:25:42Speaker 2: you're in it. You're in the war right now. Yeah,
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: and I mean- It's like, and that's why you were
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: talking about like, what's something expensive that you like? And
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: I said, land, because I think land, that's where it's at. Yeah.
- 1:25:55Speaker 2: I mean, just like you get some, I got a
- 1:25:56Speaker 2: little land in McMinnville. We got a little cabin out
- 1:25:59Speaker 2: there and we just go out there and we got
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: a Creek and we ride the four wheeler and. That's it.
- 1:26:05Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:26:06Speaker 2: You're living the dream.
- 1:26:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: And then my dad. Side by side, the toys. My
- 1:26:09Speaker 2: dad's got, you know, some land in Alabama and you know,
- 1:26:12Speaker 2: he's got a, so we go out there and he's
- 1:26:14Speaker 2: got some ponds and. You know, you can fish and,
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: you know.
- 1:26:18Speaker 1: Have you played the number game in your head? Like
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: a specific number, you're like, if I can get this much,
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: I can kind of give a middle finger to the world.
- 1:26:24Speaker 2: Well, the problem is, is the, you know, the number. Inflation. Yeah, inflation.
- 1:26:28Speaker 2: And then the number always changes where you're like, well,
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: I don't know, I could. And that's, I think that's
- 1:26:34Speaker 2: what happens to everybody. You get close to the number. Yeah.
- 1:26:37Speaker 4: Then the more other opportunities come your way and you're like,
- 1:26:39Speaker 4: I guess I could maybe.
- 1:26:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:26:41Speaker 1: There's also like so many different levels too. Like you're
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: thinking in your head as a young boy, like, In
- 1:26:46Speaker 1: the 90s, it's like, if I can make a million dollars, like,
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: oh my God. There was like a Disney show about
- 1:26:52Speaker 1: a kid that wanted a house for a million dollars.
- 1:26:54Speaker 1: And it's like the most insane house.
- 1:26:56Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
- 1:26:56Speaker 1: That would be like $ 50 million if you tried to
- 1:26:58Speaker 1: buy it right now. But you end up getting to
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: a point and then you see like your buddy's wife's family,
- 1:27:04Speaker 1: they have all this. And it's like, well, what level
- 1:27:06Speaker 1: is that?
- 1:27:06Speaker 2: Right. That I can get to? Then you get to that.
- 1:27:08Speaker 1: And then there's like, oh, you can, there's private aviation
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: where you don't have to sit and everything.
- 1:27:12Speaker 2: Like, how do I get to?
- 1:27:13Speaker 1: And then always, there's always something else.
- 1:27:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:27:17Speaker 2: I'd like to get to the place where a private
- 1:27:20Speaker 2: plane was an option and then quit. Yeah. And go,
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: all right, let's not do it.
- 1:27:25Speaker 1: Private planes is, let's not, let's not do it.
- 1:27:28Speaker 2: We can, we can, but let's don't do it. Okay.
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: And then it's like, you know, I don't know. I
- 1:27:32Speaker 2: just see people, I don't know. I feel like they,
- 1:27:34Speaker 2: they waste money by, you know, people enjoy it how
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: they enjoy it, but they get real flashy with stuff.
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: And I go, that's never what I want to do. That's,
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: I want to like the security nest thing. And then
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: just enjoy. I mean, I do want to buy an excavator,
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: but that's because I, you know, I want to dig
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: holes on the land. You want to use it for something. Yeah.
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: I want to.
- 1:27:54Speaker 1: You don't want to buy a $ 500, 000 car.
- 1:27:56Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:27:57Speaker 2: I want me and my son to ride around on
- 1:27:58Speaker 2: the excavator and dig holes. Yeah. You got a son.
- 1:28:01Speaker 2: That's so cool. Plant trees and, you know.
- 1:28:03Speaker 4: How much does a family life give you some comedy material?
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: I've not, honestly, I've not, I got one or two jokes.
- 1:28:10Speaker 2: I'm trying to delay it as long as I can,
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: because I feel like the moment a comic goes into
- 1:28:16Speaker 2: family jokes, then it's all family jokes. Oh, then you
- 1:28:19Speaker 2: got to be that way. I gotcha. Be that way
- 1:28:21Speaker 2: 24 seven. I'm trying to, you know, just be a
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: weird guy talking about country music songs and, you know,
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: stuff like that as long as I can.
- 1:28:29Speaker 4: Now, do you still, do you still jot them down
- 1:28:32Speaker 4: to keep in the tank for the future?
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: A little bit. Yeah. I mean, but I got a,
- 1:28:36Speaker 2: you know, thankfully I got a pretty good memory and
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: I just, you know, I just. Yeah. And I just,
- 1:28:43Speaker 2: you know, I, I, I know what jokes that I
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: have and, you know, I might, I might write a
- 1:28:47Speaker 2: set list once in a while just so I can keep,
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: cause sometimes a joke will get pushed out of the
- 1:28:51Speaker 2: set list, but it's not bad, but you just like,
- 1:28:55Speaker 2: it's not, it's not ready now.
- 1:28:58Speaker 8: Right.
- 1:28:58Speaker 2: But I, you know, I typically I'm on a theater show.
- 1:29:00Speaker 2: I'll do an hour and a half, but if you
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: record a special, you only do an hour. So, you know,
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: so I have this extra half hour for the next
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: hour when I'm ready to go. So, And I feel
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: like I'm ready to do another special, but I just
- 1:29:14Speaker 2: don't want to rush it because I felt like that
- 1:29:17Speaker 2: was the way. Like I did Working Man and then,
- 1:29:20Speaker 2: you know, within a year, a year and a half,
- 1:29:24Speaker 2: I had my other one recorded, Wet Heat. And I
- 1:29:27Speaker 2: just felt like that was unnecessary. I didn't need to
- 1:29:30Speaker 2: do it that fast. I don't feel like I benefited
- 1:29:32Speaker 2: by doing it that fast.
- 1:29:33Speaker 4: It felt like there was a rush to get those.
- 1:29:36Speaker 4: For just the comedy industry as a whole, like getting
- 1:29:38Speaker 4: one on Netflix, you're going to, people already working on
- 1:29:40Speaker 4: their second one, but it felt like there was just
- 1:29:42Speaker 4: so many specials that were dropping on all these streaming platforms. Yeah.
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: I like want it to mean something, you know, it's like,
- 1:29:48Speaker 2: it feels like too, it used to be like, there
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: would be a comic, like you would recite their bits
- 1:29:53Speaker 2: for a long time, but now it feels like you
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: almost like there's these comedy personalities that you like. So
- 1:29:59Speaker 2: you just like the jokes that you're telling, but it's
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: not really like a, a lasting bit that you're like
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: telling your friends. And maybe it's different for me just
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: because I'm doing comedy. So maybe I'm not out telling
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: other people's bits, but.
- 1:30:13Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's like some, that's definitely real. Cause I
- 1:30:16Speaker 1: remember being in like middle school and like listening to
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: a comedian, like hearing that. And then like you're on
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: the playground the next day and everyone's kind of like
- 1:30:21Speaker 1: reciting similar bits back and forth. And you guys kind
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: of live in that world with that comedian for months
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: at a time.
- 1:30:27Speaker 4: I mean, blue collar comedy tour lasted, I feel like forever.
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: They would always come up with new stuff. I'll tell
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: you one, one guy that people hate that I was
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: a huge fan of in middle school. Jared Beeman loves
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: this guy.
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: Dane Cook. Dane Cook, elite comic. Elite. What's your take
- 1:30:41Speaker 2: on Dane Cook? You know, Dane Cook early on, I liked.
- 1:30:45Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: And then, and then his movies I thought were fun.
- 1:30:48Speaker 2: He had fun movies. There it is. But I think what,
- 1:30:50Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's- Employee of the year. Good luck, Chuck.
- 1:30:52Speaker 2: Employee of the month. Excuse me.
- 1:30:54Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:30:54Speaker 1: He only had to do it for one month. That's
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: how good it was.
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: What was that one where he, uh, he was like,
- 1:30:58Speaker 2: how to, uh, he was like, uh, Guys would hire
- 1:31:02Speaker 2: him and then he would go on a date with
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: their girlfriend. Good luck, Chuck. Is that good luck, Chuck?
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: He would date the girl, sleep with the girl. Then
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: the next person that girl met.
- 1:31:09Speaker 2: They would marry. Wasn't that good luck, Chuck? He would
- 1:31:12Speaker 2: be such a bad date that the girl would run
- 1:31:15Speaker 2: back to her ex-boyfriend.
- 1:31:17Speaker 1: Oh.
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: It was like Kate Hudson. Is that Hitch? No, it's
- 1:31:22Speaker 2: good luck, Chuck. Is it good luck, Chuck? Yeah, good luck, Chuck.
- 1:31:24Speaker 2: Where you meet the love of your life after you
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: go on a date with Chuck. Yeah. Okay.
- 1:31:29Speaker 7: I believe.
- 1:31:30Speaker 2: All right. Either way, I don't know if it was
- 1:31:33Speaker 2: Good Luck Chuck, but I'm just saying that movie I'm describing,
- 1:31:35Speaker 2: I liked it. Okay. I liked it. It's a good
- 1:31:38Speaker 2: take on that. But, you know, I think Dane Cook,
- 1:31:41Speaker 2: what happened to him. Oh, My Best Friend's Girl. My
- 1:31:44Speaker 2: Best Friend's Girl. Thank you. I knew that wasn't. Good
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: Luck Chuck was Jessica, what was it?
- 1:31:50Speaker 4: Alba?
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: Yeah, Alba. Yeah, this movie, I mean, who knows? I
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: was at a different place when I watched it. Right.
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: But that movie's good. I actually have not seen that movie. Yeah.
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: For sure. But the, uh, you know, I think he,
- 1:32:04Speaker 2: his brother-in-law or something stole all his money. So the
- 1:32:08Speaker 2: album that everyone hates, including me was like his rushed
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: album to me. He needed to make money.
- 1:32:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: Once you're pressing. Yeah.
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: People are going to see through that 100%. What was it?
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: Like pull up his- It was a big stadium.
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: Was it Vicious Circle? I think so. Yeah, Vicious Circle.
- 1:32:25Speaker 1: Because I was a fan of Vicious Circle. But that's
- 1:32:28Speaker 1: 12-year-old Taylor being like, this.
- 1:32:29Speaker 2: Guy doesn't fucking miss ever, dude.
- 1:32:31Speaker 4: That's being young and being so into it that no
- 1:32:33Speaker 4: matter what he did, you were going to find a
- 1:32:34Speaker 4: way to enjoy it.
- 1:32:35Speaker 6: 100%.
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: Yeah. 100%. And that's what, you know, and I was
- 1:32:38Speaker 2: always more of a Mitch Hedberg guy. I like Mitch Hedberg.
- 1:32:41Speaker 2: I like Jeff Foxworthy. People, they don't give old Jeff
- 1:32:44Speaker 2: Foxworthy enough credit. Yeah, why is that? The first two
- 1:32:48Speaker 2: albums by Jeff Foxworthy, unbelievable. Unbelievable.
- 1:32:51Speaker 1: I do love the classic, You Might Be a Redneck,
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: and just letting that live for years and years and years.
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: I mean, the games Rednecks play is an album no
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: one ever talks about. So good. Were you a Roy D.
- 1:33:03Speaker 2: Mercer fan? Oh, yeah. I love Roy D. How big
- 1:33:06Speaker 2: a boy are you? Yeah. I knew he'd love that.
- 1:33:09Speaker 2: You know what? I was hanging out with some comics
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: and they had never heard of Roy D. Mercer. And
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: I pulled up a clip. I was just going to
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: show him. I go, this is what he sounds like.
- 1:33:17Speaker 2: And we ended up listening to the whole clip. We're
- 1:33:19Speaker 2: all dying just out on a patio having cigars. Like,
- 1:33:23Speaker 2: it's so funny. Yes, man. Roy D. Mercer. Because I
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: brought it up a long time ago and people didn't
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: know who Roy D. Mercer was. And I'm thinking, what?
- 1:33:31Speaker 2: I don't think I know who Roy D. Mercer is.
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: Prank calls? OG prank caller. Oh, bro. OG. Is that
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: what we listen to in Pittsburgh? No, not what we
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: listen to. Okay. And James Gregory is another Southern comic
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: that never gets enough credit. He died, but... I like
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: to tell people that they have died. He died. You
- 1:33:53Speaker 2: said it with such enthusiasm, too. Both sides of the fence.
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: But he's good. I mean, he was so good. Like
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: an old school Southern comic. Jerry Clower's one that people
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: talk about all the time. And I'm not as into
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: Jerry Clower because he's got kind of this wild... way
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: of telling stories, not a traditional comic, but very funny.
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: Was there ever a comic that you were a huge
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: fan of and met and it wasn't all it was
- 1:34:17Speaker 1: cracked up to be?
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: No, I don't think so. I met Mark Curry, who
- 1:34:22Speaker 2: was hanging with Mr. Cooper. I don't know if you
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: remember that show. But I loved that show when I
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: was a kid. But it was probably 30 years later
- 1:34:32Speaker 2: I met him, and he was okay. But I never
- 1:34:35Speaker 2: was a huge fan of his comedy. Got you. And
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: I mean okay that he wasn't very nice to me.
- 1:34:39Speaker 2: He wasn't rude to me, but I was excited to
- 1:34:42Speaker 2: meet Mr. Cooper. And I think by this point he was–
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: probably could care less.
- 1:34:46Speaker 4: You ever get a unsolicited advice from a comic you
- 1:34:49Speaker 4: didn't like.
- 1:34:49Speaker 8: Uh not not a high level comic but i you
- 1:34:54Speaker 8: know plenty of younger comics that i don't like have
- 1:34:57Speaker 8: given me advice did demon give you no no he
- 1:35:00Speaker 8: didn't but i you know i like him and.
- 1:35:02Speaker 1: Uh did you guys have any interaction at all with
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: each other that night.
- 1:35:05Speaker 3: Yeah it was before you started your open mic uh
- 1:35:09Speaker 3: as they need. And we were talking about the idea
- 1:35:11Speaker 3: for it and stuff.
- 1:35:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:35:11Speaker 2: I've started a, you know, sort of a kill Tony
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: open mic. Oh, no, we don't film it, you know?
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: And I, I'm admitting that the format is good. So
- 1:35:22Speaker 2: I want to do something like that. Open mics are terrible.
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: They're the worst. Uh, so I feel like if you
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: can have a panel where you bring comics up, we
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: call it let loose or is it let loose? Something
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: like that.
- 1:35:33Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: And, uh, And, and it's like, you know, we're just,
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: you know, you bring comics up randomly, give them two
- 1:35:40Speaker 2: minutes and then you riff with them a little bit
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: after and it keeps the flow going that way. Even
- 1:35:45Speaker 2: if they're bad, you make fun of them a little bit,
- 1:35:48Speaker 2: not hard, but it keeps the flow go. And then
- 1:35:50Speaker 2: it creates a little bit of a community in Nashville.
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: How is the comedy community in Nashville, Tennessee?
- 1:35:59Speaker 2: I think we have a lot of good comics, but
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: we have a great club. Zany's is a great club
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: and we have two rooms, but that's all we have
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: as far as comedy clubs go. So the big comedy
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: scenes like Denver, DC, Chicago, LA, New York, I mean,
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: they have Austin, they have tons of clubs. So you
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: can just bring in more people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because
- 1:36:21Speaker 2: it's like, if you live in Nashville and you get
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: to work Zany's, it's great. If you don't get to
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: work Zanies, it's not as good.
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: Did you ever think to yourself that you should move
- 1:36:29Speaker 1: somewhere other than Nashville for your comedy career? Like go
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: to some of these bigger cities?
- 1:36:34Speaker 2: In early on, about 2015, 16, I've been here a
- 1:36:39Speaker 2: couple of years and things weren't really taken off for me.
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: I thought about moving to Chicago because I like working
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: the road. So I thought Chicago gives you all the
- 1:36:48Speaker 2: benefits that Nashville gives you working the road, but you
- 1:36:51Speaker 2: get more clubs. And what would... made you decide not
- 1:36:55Speaker 2: to go? I got some help booking, uh, actually Lucy
- 1:37:00Speaker 2: that books Zany's. Oh yeah. Maybe she doesn't want me
- 1:37:02Speaker 2: to say this, but Lucy helped started helping me book gigs.
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: She would reach out to clubs for me. Really? Oh,
- 1:37:09Speaker 2: that's awesome. Yeah. And so I started getting better gigs.
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: And so I was like, all right, now I don't
- 1:37:15Speaker 2: need to move. Yeah. Cause I get to do the
- 1:37:17Speaker 2: Opry too. I like doing the Opry. I like hanging
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: out with old school country singers and.
- 1:37:23Speaker 1: Yeah you're living in the the one thing you like
- 1:37:25Speaker 1: country music yeah country music mecca.
- 1:37:27Speaker 2: And then like at the opry there's a lot of
- 1:37:29Speaker 2: old old.
- 1:37:30Speaker 1: Country singers how was it for you playing the opry
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: the first time like what like how do you get
- 1:37:35Speaker 1: invited to that uh i think my manager worked it
- 1:37:39Speaker 1: out just got it yeah and i also think it
- 1:37:41Speaker 1: was i did a i think it was a brad
- 1:37:43Speaker 1: paisley show that i did at zany's and the booker
- 1:37:46Speaker 1: for the opry was there So I think it was that.
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: Kind of combination. And so now I'm no longer the
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: youngest comic. Aaron Weber has done it. He's younger than me.
- 1:37:55Speaker 2: And John Crest is younger than me. But I think
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: that I was the first of like this kind of
- 1:38:01Speaker 2: new class of comics that the Opry was like, we're
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: going to try bringing in some new comics. And it
- 1:38:07Speaker 2: went really well. So it kind of opened the door.
- 1:38:10Speaker 1: It is such a, so I introduced Jelly Roll and
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: Ernest at the Opry. And then like going in, and
- 1:38:15Speaker 1: like seeing Dolly Parton's dress out there. You see all
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: the rooms, you look at the pageantry, how much history
- 1:38:19Speaker 1: is taking place, the small circle that people were formed
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: in from the one that got run down. But I
- 1:38:24Speaker 1: went out there to go like introduce these guys and
- 1:38:26Speaker 1: I brought a lot of energy. And I didn't realize like,
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: Grand Ole Opry is like radio where everybody sits there
- 1:38:32Speaker 1: and they kind of dress up and like, oh, that
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: was really, that was a great set.
- 1:38:35Speaker 2: Amazing.
- 1:38:35Speaker 1: So I came out with energy. Energy was not met
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: that way with me. Did you feel that way your
- 1:38:40Speaker 1: first time or was it just smooth sailing for you?
- 1:38:44Speaker 2: I think the first time it was smooth sailing, but
- 1:38:48Speaker 2: The first time it's like, all right, I'm really preparing.
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: I go, these are going to be my Opry jokes.
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: These are ones that I think the audience will like
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: the best. And then you get a nice big intro.
- 1:38:59Speaker 2: They go, this is his first time. ever on the stage.
- 1:39:01Speaker 2: This is his Opry debut. So everyone's just excited. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:39:05Speaker 2: But now I've done it like 40 times. So the
- 1:39:07Speaker 2: excitement's gone. It's like, here's another guy. This is a
- 1:39:10Speaker 2: nothing burger now. Yeah, here's another guy. I'm still excited,
- 1:39:13Speaker 2: but the audience, they're like, who is this guy?
- 1:39:15Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: And so it will take a minute sometimes, but I
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: know that. So I like it in a way. I
- 1:39:23Speaker 2: like to go out and maybe they don't laugh so
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: much at the first joke. And then you can kind
- 1:39:28Speaker 2: of sit in that energy of, Of knowing that you
- 1:39:31Speaker 2: think the audience thinks you're not going to do well. Yeah.
- 1:39:34Speaker 2: And then you're like, I'm about to turn this around.
- 1:39:36Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:39:37Speaker 2: That feels good to me. Opportunistic. Liking the challenge. And
- 1:39:40Speaker 2: once or twice, it didn't really turn around. But out
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: of 40, that's not a bad number at all. That
- 1:39:46Speaker 2: doesn't feel as good. Yeah. But even then, because there's
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: a set. I know there's a set I could do
- 1:39:52Speaker 2: where I go, this will work every time. but I
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: don't want to do that. I want to go, will
- 1:39:56Speaker 2: these new jokes work at the opera? So, uh, and
- 1:40:00Speaker 2: then the, you know, the, the band, they're all back
- 1:40:02Speaker 2: there and they get, they get to liking you. And
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: so they're excited when you do new jokes and they,
- 1:40:07Speaker 2: the people backstage, if it doesn't go that well, you know,
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: they love it. They think it's funny because they're like,
- 1:40:13Speaker 2: we're laughing back here and they're into it. And then
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: I'll get them to give me a note at one minute,
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: you know, they'll hit the piano, but the audience can
- 1:40:21Speaker 2: also hear the note. And I'll go, that's the note
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: they give you when you're not doing well out here.
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: They go, get out of here. They go, get out
- 1:40:29Speaker 2: of here.
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: You talked about like, you can easily just go and
- 1:40:34Speaker 1: hit doubles and triples, like doing the same set over
- 1:40:36Speaker 1: and over again, but you want to see if this
- 1:40:39Speaker 1: new joke will work. How much curiosity plays into people
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: trying to be a comedian? Because I know there's a
- 1:40:44Speaker 1: lot of guys that can kind of sit on these
- 1:40:45Speaker 1: four or five jokes they have. They know they're going
- 1:40:47Speaker 1: to crush it out of the park. But does that
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: stunt their growth from a comic standpoint?
- 1:40:52Speaker 2: I think so. I mean, you know, I think it
- 1:40:55Speaker 2: happens less than it used to because there is this
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: expectation to put stuff online. But it used to be
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: it's like a comic gets an hour. And if they're
- 1:41:04Speaker 2: headlining these B and C rooms out here, they might
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: do that hour their whole career.
- 1:41:09Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 1:41:10Speaker 2: Because no one's seeing it online. It's not being burned up. So,
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: you know, and then you're like, you've stopped working the
- 1:41:18Speaker 2: writing joke muscle. So now when you start to write
- 1:41:21Speaker 2: new jokes, you're like writing jokes like an open mic-er again.
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: Because you forgot how to write a joke. Or you're
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: like so used to your jokes just getting laughs that
- 1:41:30Speaker 2: when you write something doesn't get a laugh, you're like,
- 1:41:32Speaker 2: I don't like the way that feels. Yeah. You know,
- 1:41:35Speaker 2: I want to go, I'm going to go back to
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: my old stuff. Right. Whereas I think you got to,
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: you got to do something new every time. You got
- 1:41:41Speaker 2: to try to put something in, whether you're just riffing
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: or you're like, I'm going to try this thing. You
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: got to do something. Yeah. Because, you know, it gets,
- 1:41:49Speaker 2: it can get stale. You know, you're, you're like, ah.
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: I know these jokes are going to work, but I
- 1:41:54Speaker 2: hate telling it. Yeah, I got you. And then your
- 1:41:57Speaker 2: energy will reflect that. Like, you know, I got some
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: jokes where it's like you do it and they get
- 1:42:04Speaker 2: a laugh and you almost like hate yourself that you
- 1:42:06Speaker 2: just did it. Yeah, I knew you were going to
- 1:42:09Speaker 2: laugh at that.
- 1:42:10Speaker 4: You have a joke that you just, you continue to
- 1:42:12Speaker 4: say no matter what, that just doesn't get any of
- 1:42:15Speaker 4: the burn you thought it would.
- 1:42:17Speaker 2: Well, eventually I always drop them, but I do. But
- 1:42:22Speaker 2: you hate dropping them. I do. I have jokes sometimes
- 1:42:25Speaker 2: where I go, this worked one time. Why did it
- 1:42:30Speaker 2: only work that one time? Like it crushed one time.
- 1:42:35Speaker 2: Or you keep doing it and you figure it out.
- 1:42:37Speaker 2: I got jokes about dip and I did it in
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: Kansas City. I remember doing it. I was talking about
- 1:42:42Speaker 2: packing a can of dip and this guy pulled out
- 1:42:45Speaker 2: a can in the front row, handed it to me.
- 1:42:47Speaker 2: I packed it on stage. The audience went wild. I go,
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: oh man, this is such a good new joke. And
- 1:42:54Speaker 2: then it just started bombing. Every time I did it,
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: it bombed. But I just kept working it and I
- 1:42:59Speaker 2: kept finding little things. And now it's, you know, I
- 1:43:02Speaker 2: got about a 10 minute dip joke that usually works
- 1:43:07Speaker 2: really well. Or I got another joke that I did
- 1:43:10Speaker 2: on the wet heat special where it was like, it
- 1:43:12Speaker 2: wouldn't work. And I, so I started telling the audience
- 1:43:17Speaker 2: that I would say this next joke, this next joke
- 1:43:19Speaker 2: never works. It's not a, it's a good joke. Just doesn't,
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: the audience doesn't laugh, you know? And so I would
- 1:43:26Speaker 2: like build it up. And then when I would finally
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: do it, they would applaud. I would go, I would
- 1:43:31Speaker 2: do the joke and I'd go, that's it. And then
- 1:43:33Speaker 2: they would all applaud, you know? So it ended up,
- 1:43:37Speaker 2: you know, making a good joke out of this bad joke,
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: which I do still think is a good joke, but I,
- 1:43:43Speaker 2: I don't know why.
- 1:43:45Speaker 4: When looking at the, uh, when looking at the comedy
- 1:43:47Speaker 4: scene in Nashville, do you feel it's like an untapped well,
- 1:43:50Speaker 4: like to where it can get substantially better if a
- 1:43:53Speaker 4: couple things changed or was added?
- 1:43:57Speaker 2: I think so. I mean, I think we have a,
- 1:43:59Speaker 2: we have a ton of headliners here. You know, we
- 1:44:00Speaker 2: have so many comics that, you know, we have, uh, Oh,
- 1:44:04Speaker 2: I hate to list them because then I'll leave someone off, but,
- 1:44:06Speaker 2: you know, we have Henry Cho, John Chris, Nate, Kathleen Madigan,
- 1:44:11Speaker 2: you know, Aaron, Brian, you know, there's so many. And,
- 1:44:15Speaker 2: you know, Fiona Cawley, she did Kill Tony and now
- 1:44:19Speaker 2: she has a huge career. We have so many funny
- 1:44:22Speaker 2: people here that Theo Vaughn lives here part-time. I think
- 1:44:28Speaker 2: I don't know if it's part time. I don't see
- 1:44:29Speaker 2: him a lot, but I don't know where he lives.
- 1:44:33Speaker 2: I did go to his house, but I don't know
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: that he's there all the time. But, you know, there's
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: so many good comics that I just think that we
- 1:44:41Speaker 2: don't have like the kind of showcases or maybe, you know,
- 1:44:45Speaker 2: people just aren't that interested in it where it's like
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: in L.A., All these headliners are working the comedy store
- 1:44:52Speaker 2: all the time or the improv in New York. They're
- 1:44:54Speaker 2: at the cellar and they they will do Zany's, but
- 1:44:57Speaker 2: we don't have the kind of showcase where it's like
- 1:45:00Speaker 2: you show up and it's. it's headliner after headliner after headliner,
- 1:45:04Speaker 2: you know, because they're all doing their own things. Right.
- 1:45:07Speaker 2: Everyone's got to travel all over the place. So I
- 1:45:08Speaker 2: think we could use a little more of that, but
- 1:45:10Speaker 2: also I feel like sometimes people will start alternative shows
- 1:45:15Speaker 2: because they don't get booked at the club. And then
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: instead of being like, all right, I'm going to use
- 1:45:19Speaker 2: this to get better. And then, and then I can
- 1:45:22Speaker 2: work the club and then I'll book good comics to
- 1:45:25Speaker 2: make this show good. They almost do it out of spite. Like,
- 1:45:29Speaker 2: I never got booked at the club. So I'm going
- 1:45:31Speaker 2: to do a show and I'm only going to book
- 1:45:32Speaker 2: comics that don't get booked at the club. And so
- 1:45:35Speaker 2: it doesn't, it creates a division where you have comics
- 1:45:38Speaker 2: that work the club and then comics that don't versus
- 1:45:41Speaker 2: we're all in this together, you know, creating that community.
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: And we could build, and that's what I hope to
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: do with this show that I do. I mean, I've
- 1:45:48Speaker 2: been doing a monthly show at Zany's for 10 years
- 1:45:51Speaker 2: that I've put, you know, nearly every comic in town
- 1:45:55Speaker 2: on the show at some point. And, you know, Nearly
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: every comic. Nearly. Not every comic, but nearly every comic.
- 1:46:03Speaker 1: What is the resume that has to take place to
- 1:46:05Speaker 1: get on your show, your monthly show? What is your
- 1:46:08Speaker 1: next monthly show?
- 1:46:09Speaker 2: Well, as we sit here tomorrow night, I don't know
- 1:46:13Speaker 2: when this comes out. So it comes out tomorrow, so tonight. Tonight,
- 1:46:17Speaker 2: October 13th. And then I'll have, I think, November 25th
- 1:46:21Speaker 2: and then December. So it's called Dusty Slate's Grand Ole
- 1:46:24Speaker 2: Comedy Show. I named it that when I, you know,
- 1:46:27Speaker 2: I didn't ever expect to do the Grand Ole Opry.
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: So it can be confusing. 40 times ago.
- 1:46:31Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:46:31Speaker 1: 40 times ago. What is the resume? Well, how do you,
- 1:46:34Speaker 1: do you have to like this comic? Do they have
- 1:46:36Speaker 1: to get a, someone has to put a good word in?
- 1:46:38Speaker 2: I do. It is important that I like them. Okay. And,
- 1:46:41Speaker 2: and then I, you know, I need to see, you know,
- 1:46:43Speaker 2: I don't always see people. Yeah. So I got to
- 1:46:45Speaker 2: see them do something and go, oh, I like that.
- 1:46:47Speaker 2: And then, and then I ask people to be relatively clean.
- 1:46:51Speaker 2: I don't ask them to be squeaky clean. Right, right, right.
- 1:46:53Speaker 2: I'm a relatively clean comic. So I want, I, my
- 1:46:56Speaker 2: audience kind of expects that.
- 1:46:58Speaker 1: When you go to see people, do you like take
- 1:47:00Speaker 1: time out of your day? Like, oh, it's open mic
- 1:47:01Speaker 1: night at Zaney's. I'm going to go over there and
- 1:47:02Speaker 1: just see people. Or do you just, you're scrolling, you're
- 1:47:05Speaker 1: doom scrolling. You happen to see a person. I see
- 1:47:07Speaker 1: them now because I'm doing that open mic at, at
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: the lab. So I will watch, but it's, uh, you know,
- 1:47:14Speaker 1: a typical open mic. It can drain the life out
- 1:47:17Speaker 1: of you.
- 1:47:17Speaker 2: Yeah. Because especially if comics are getting five minutes and
- 1:47:21Speaker 2: they don't even have one, you know, it's like you're
- 1:47:25Speaker 2: watching them just, you know, they, they go up there
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: and then they just say these Things about themselves that
- 1:47:30Speaker 2: they should never share with anyone. And now they should
- 1:47:34Speaker 2: write it in a diary at home. But instead, they're
- 1:47:37Speaker 2: sharing it with people in an attempt to be funny.
- 1:47:40Speaker 2: And it just kills you.
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: Since you sit in the back and slither in your
- 1:47:44Speaker 1: own skin.
- 1:47:44Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel bad for these people. I feel bad
- 1:47:47Speaker 2: for them in their own personal lives. Yeah. So you've
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: seen Jared though.
- 1:47:51Speaker 4: What's the scouting report on Jared?
- 1:47:53Speaker 2: Yeah, give us a scouting report. You know what? I
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: don't think I've ever seen you do a full set.
- 1:47:56Speaker 3: I don't think you've seen me.
- 1:47:57Speaker 2: Do you want to give him a joke? Actually, I
- 1:47:59Speaker 2: think this is a great opportunity.
- 1:48:01Speaker 3: We're not doing this.
- 1:48:01Speaker 4: He only likes you. What's his respect meter in the
- 1:48:05Speaker 4: comedy world? Like is he even considered a comic?
- 1:48:08Speaker 2: Okay, you taught me to slow down. That question is
- 1:48:12Speaker 2: so wild. I think Jared would have rather just do
- 1:48:15Speaker 2: the joke. I have a joke, never mind. Let's get
- 1:48:18Speaker 2: you on the next Let Loose. Let's get you in
- 1:48:20Speaker 2: one of those book spots and then we'll see.
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: That's when we'll see it. When is the next Let Loose?
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: I think it's next Wednesday. Next Wednesday. The 21st. So
- 1:48:30Speaker 2: we can plan on.
- 1:48:33Speaker 2: Don't we feel like he's got to earn his spot
- 1:48:36Speaker 2: on that?
- 1:48:36Speaker 1: And that's what kind of goes back to my previous
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: question a little while back is like the earn factor
- 1:48:41Speaker 1: of comedy, not utilizing a platform to boost you.
- 1:48:44Speaker 3: I haven't earned a book spot on that.
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: You haven't earned a book spot. On Let Loose. You've
- 1:48:48Speaker 2: said that out loud, no. I think that, you know,
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: it's like, what's, you know, what's earning it? You know,
- 1:48:52Speaker 2: I mean, you know, people are always leveraging.
- 1:48:56Speaker 3: I just got on, I think I was telling you
- 1:48:58Speaker 3: the other day, I'm doing New Material Monday starting in November.
- 1:49:01Speaker 3: I have a couple of those spots lined up.
- 1:49:02Speaker 2: Can you give us one? My five minutes? No, I'll
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: give you just one joke.
- 1:49:07Speaker 3: I don't have any.
- 1:49:09Speaker 2: No. I'm not doing this again. I say, you know what?
- 1:49:13Speaker 1: Do the 9-11 joke you did for Shane. That's not
- 1:49:17Speaker 1: clean at all.
- 1:49:19Speaker 3: That was us on a plane thinking of the most
- 1:49:21Speaker 3: inappropriate thing.
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: To tell Shane. That's not true. That had never happened.
- 1:49:23Speaker 2: Will and I were never a part of that. Well,
- 1:49:25Speaker 2: what's more earning it, though, than people watching this podcast
- 1:49:28Speaker 2: and going, oh, you're going to be on the show
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: October 21st. We got to check this out. Got to
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: check it out October 21st. It's like five bucks, and
- 1:49:36Speaker 2: I bet we could even, you know. Give away tickets.
- 1:49:41Speaker 2: I mean, it's an open mic that we're trying to
- 1:49:43Speaker 2: get people to come to. So we could probably work
- 1:49:45Speaker 2: something out. I mean, my show sells out. So my
- 1:49:48Speaker 2: show tomorrow is sold out. So no one can get in. Yeah.
- 1:49:51Speaker 2: But Let Loose, we're trying to build up. And it's
- 1:49:53Speaker 2: at the Lab, the 100-seater? Yeah. Oh yeah.
- 1:49:56Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
- 1:49:56Speaker 3: I would love to anytime.
- 1:49:57Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:49:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:49:58Speaker 4: How long have you been doing let loose?
- 1:50:00Speaker 2: Uh, we've been, we do it every other week and
- 1:50:03Speaker 2: we've been doing it for a couple of months. So
- 1:50:05Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe we've done six, maybe done three months.
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: What day is October? And you like where it's at
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: right now. I like it. I mean, it's a Wednesday
- 1:50:12Speaker 2: night at nine o'clock. So it's a late show. I
- 1:50:15Speaker 2: like it. I think it's the most fun show I'm
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: doing right now. Is it the best? I think my
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: show that I do myself is better. But I think
- 1:50:25Speaker 2: I have a lot of fun doing this other show.
- 1:50:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:50:27Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one you're like super interested in.
- 1:50:30Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:50:30Speaker 2: It scratches that itch. And let loose. It seems like
- 1:50:33Speaker 2: I'm plugging it, but I do get to let loose
- 1:50:35Speaker 2: a little bit and have a little fun and, you know.
- 1:50:39Speaker 2: Try new things. Yeah.
- 1:50:40Speaker 4: You don't have ghostwriters coming in shutting you down.
- 1:50:43Speaker 2: No, no. And not, you know, for that matter, not
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: my own comedy either. I do write all my own jokes.
- 1:50:47Speaker 2: So there's no. That's what I love about comedy. If
- 1:50:49Speaker 2: I try to write a script for a TV show,
- 1:50:52Speaker 2: I've had a few TV deals that never panned out.
- 1:50:55Speaker 2: But it's always like I go in with an idea.
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: They're like, oh, we love your comedy. We love this idea.
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: Let's do a show. And then they give me notes
- 1:51:03Speaker 2: the whole time until it's not even my show anymore.
- 1:51:07Speaker 2: And then I go, well, that's why. And then they go,
- 1:51:09Speaker 2: we're not going to pick it up. And I go, yeah,
- 1:51:11Speaker 2: but you just turned down your own show. Do you
- 1:51:14Speaker 2: tell them that as you walk out the door? They
- 1:51:17Speaker 2: never actually tell me. They tell my management. My management
- 1:51:19Speaker 2: tells me. God. They go all the way with it.
- 1:51:23Speaker 2: They're like, oh, we love this. Oh, we're so excited
- 1:51:26Speaker 2: about this. And then when they decide not to do it,
- 1:51:29Speaker 2: you never hear from them again. There's no, hey, buddy, sorry.
- 1:51:32Speaker 2: This is why we decided not to do it. They go, ah,
- 1:51:35Speaker 2: you'll find out. You'll find out. Trust me. You'll know
- 1:51:38Speaker 2: that it's not happening. Yeah.
- 1:51:40Speaker 1: Should we get some fan questions real quick? Pop some fan.
- 1:51:44Speaker 2: Questions on here, Sherm. A lot of fans, by the way.
- 1:51:46Speaker 2: Got a lot of fans. Jared, I do always.
- 1:51:48Speaker 4: Love the rare occasion we have a comedian on and
- 1:51:50Speaker 4: we get to badger you a little bit.
- 1:51:53Speaker 3: I made that mistake once telling Shane the joke. And
- 1:51:55Speaker 3: now it's gotten 60,000 likes.
- 1:51:57Speaker 4: I was going to say it did well on social.
- 1:51:58Speaker 3: It's done good, but I don't know if it's... a
- 1:52:00Speaker 3: good look that I wrote.
- 1:52:02Speaker 1: Doesn't it end with Shane Gillis being like, you should
- 1:52:03Speaker 1: never tell that joke?
- 1:52:05Speaker 3: I think I captioned it like, telling Shane Gillis a
- 1:52:08Speaker 3: purposely bad joke. And there's like a comment that has
- 1:52:10Speaker 3: like 10,000 likes. Wait, was it you that you were like,
- 1:52:12Speaker 3: purposely question mark?
- 1:52:13Speaker 2: Oh, I like, that's the comment I would have left. Yeah.
- 1:52:17Speaker 1: I don't know like 10,000 likes, so I'll take that.
- 1:52:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: I'll absolutely take that. All right, this one comes from
- 1:52:21Speaker 1: Drewsh for 639. What's one thing someone told you coming
- 1:52:26Speaker 1: up that helped you in standup and something that you
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: learned on your own that you'd pass on to someone
- 1:52:31Speaker 1: just starting out.
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: Well, one, you know, I used to hold the mic stand,
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: old clips of me. I'm always like holding the mic
- 1:52:38Speaker 2: stand and I'm so fidgety that I'm like, I'm like,
- 1:52:42Speaker 2: you know, really abusing the mic stand. And someone told me,
- 1:52:46Speaker 2: I asked them for advice. I was like, I was
- 1:52:48Speaker 2: doing my first club weekend. And they, they, I was featuring,
- 1:52:52Speaker 2: but I was, I was like, what's, I asked them
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: that question. If you could give me one thing going
- 1:52:57Speaker 2: in and they said, just stop touching the mic stand.
- 1:53:00Speaker 2: So in that, you know, I moved it and then
- 1:53:03Speaker 2: I never touched it again. And, you know, I've been fidgety,
- 1:53:06Speaker 2: but I never touched it again. And I think it
- 1:53:07Speaker 2: changed my whole thing. Because I think part of, you know,
- 1:53:12Speaker 2: is a uniqueness to having your own weird energy. People
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: always think I'm nervous, but it's like, I just, I'm shifty,
- 1:53:19Speaker 2: you know? And I think it helped me that he
- 1:53:26Speaker 2: said that. So I think that's good advice. Advice I
- 1:53:28Speaker 2: would give people, I don't know, Whatever their thing is
- 1:53:33Speaker 2: that's holding you back, because some people get high all
- 1:53:39Speaker 2: day and they don't think it affects them. And I go,
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: you may not think it does, but what if you
- 1:53:44Speaker 2: didn't get high all day? How would your comedy be?
- 1:53:48Speaker 2: Would it be better? If you're succeeding and you're high
- 1:53:52Speaker 2: all day, then obviously it's not affecting you. But if
- 1:53:55Speaker 2: you're not successful, what is that one thing that's holding
- 1:53:58Speaker 2: you back from doing it? And I would say stop
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: doing that. I mean, for me, it was drinking. So
- 1:54:03Speaker 2: I quit drinking and my career took off.
- 1:54:07Speaker 4: So- Now in that time when you were drinking, were
- 1:54:10Speaker 4: you somebody that thought that you were probably somebody that
- 1:54:12Speaker 4: thought the drinking helped?
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, my half, my act was about being
- 1:54:16Speaker 2: drunk and, and there were some very funny jokes and, uh,
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: about being fat because I got, I got, I got
- 1:54:22Speaker 2: pretty fat drinking. And then I was, uh, and that's,
- 1:54:26Speaker 2: was my whole act. And I thought it was great.
- 1:54:29Speaker 2: And then when I quit drinking, I got so much better,
- 1:54:31Speaker 2: so much faster. And I wrote a whole new hour and, uh, that's,
- 1:54:35Speaker 2: I have an album I put out in 2014 called
- 1:54:38Speaker 2: making that fudge. And it's basically that hour I wrote
- 1:54:41Speaker 2: after I quit drinking. That's awesome.
- 1:54:44Speaker 1: There was another fan comment that had to do with
- 1:54:47Speaker 1: likes and Jared Beeman, but we'll just, seems like we're
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: going to see a skimp out. We're not going to
- 1:54:51Speaker 1: even do that one. This is what I'm feeling like
- 1:54:53Speaker 1: right now.
- 1:54:53Speaker 2: He just gave me a spot. We're good.
- 1:54:55Speaker 1: CKirby12 says, what does he keep his thermostat set to?
- 1:54:59Speaker 2: Uh, well, uh, you know, at home and my old house,
- 1:55:04Speaker 2: I used to go 70, 70 was where I was
- 1:55:06Speaker 2: at at nighttime. I'd go down to 68 smart, but now,
- 1:55:10Speaker 2: you know, I moved and I got, and I don't know,
- 1:55:13Speaker 2: my house is a little older. It's a little bigger
- 1:55:15Speaker 2: than my old house, but a little older too. And
- 1:55:18Speaker 2: so I'm at like 73 because I don't know what's
- 1:55:21Speaker 2: going on. My unit seems to run all the time.
- 1:55:24Speaker 2: I just saw a bit, uh, I guess it was
- 1:55:26Speaker 2: from this week's SNL from Shane Gillis. That was the
- 1:55:29Speaker 2: the air conditioner people coming to your house. Yeah. And
- 1:55:31Speaker 2: that's what's happening to me. And so I go, I
- 1:55:34Speaker 2: don't want it to break. So I'm 73 is where
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: I'm at. I feel good with it. And that's where
- 1:55:39Speaker 2: I'm at. Good. I'm glad we got a little stuffy.
- 1:55:43Speaker 2: But this is the thing. This is why I started
- 1:55:45Speaker 2: doing it. In these 100 degree days we had, my
- 1:55:48Speaker 2: air conditioner couldn't even keep up. And they came out
- 1:55:50Speaker 2: and they go, this is the largest residential unit that
- 1:55:53Speaker 2: you can have. And so the one that I have
- 1:55:56Speaker 2: is the largest that you can get residential. And then
- 1:55:59Speaker 2: it wouldn't keep up. So I go, I don't know.
- 1:56:03Speaker 2: I just deal with it now.
- 1:56:05Speaker 4: Just get a little hot. I got to see this
- 1:56:07Speaker 4: bit because we had some AC units.
- 1:56:08Speaker 2: Because I got a basement, like a half basement, kind
- 1:56:11Speaker 2: of these Tennessee basements, and it's a lot cooler. So
- 1:56:14Speaker 2: I say, if we get too hot, we go down there,
- 1:56:16Speaker 2: we hang out.
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: Go down there, take the three kids, rip them down there,
- 1:56:18Speaker 1: no problem.
- 1:56:18Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:56:19Speaker 2: But yes, I mean, I love a 68. I love 68.
- 1:56:22Speaker 4: What you said, the 70-68 is how we're dialed right now.
- 1:56:26Speaker 2: To me, there's.
- 1:56:27Speaker 1: Nothing better than a hot summer day and you're out,
- 1:56:29Speaker 1: you're sweating, and then you come home and you put
- 1:56:31Speaker 1: a pair of shorts and a hoodie on. That's when
- 1:56:33Speaker 1: I feel like, oh, okay, it's nice and cool in
- 1:56:35Speaker 1: my house. That feels great.
- 1:56:36Speaker 4: Especially as we're getting into this season, when it gets
- 1:56:38Speaker 4: dark earlier, you get the hoodie on at nighttime.
- 1:56:41Speaker 2: It just feels way more cozy. I don't have a
- 1:56:43Speaker 2: good neck for hoodies.
- 1:56:46Speaker 6: Okay.
- 1:56:46Speaker 2: Whatever happens to me, the hoodie chokes me out. And
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: then I look like, yeah, I look like I can't,
- 1:56:52Speaker 2: like I don't have a neck with the hoodie, especially
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: a sweater, like a sweatshirt with no, with no, I can't, yeah, that's,
- 1:57:00Speaker 2: That's the worst look for me imaginable. Maybe I do
- 1:57:04Speaker 2: need that. The Q-Zip guy. Maybe he's a Q-Zip guy. Oh,
- 1:57:06Speaker 2: we don't want to be a Q-Zip guy. We don't
- 1:57:08Speaker 2: want to be a Q-Zip guy. Maybe an old Belichick.
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: Didn't he cut the hooves? Yeah, cut a gun there.
- 1:57:13Speaker 2: Maybe that's what I need. Cut the sleeves as well.
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: Something to that.
- 1:57:16Speaker 2: That poor guy, right? What happened to that guy?
- 1:57:18Speaker 1: No, he just had his first top 25 win yesterday.
- 1:57:20Speaker 2: Oh, good. Or two days ago. Okay, all right. He
- 1:57:23Speaker 2: was like- He cut off the garbage. He was like
- 1:57:25Speaker 2: a legend. And then all of a sudden, nobody wants him.
- 1:57:29Speaker 1: Yeah, people are very upset with the exterior distractions.
- 1:57:34Speaker 4: But now North Carolina is doing well.
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: First ranked win. First ranked win. Bud Light question. Okay.
- 1:57:41Speaker 1: We all know people will do anything for a nice
- 1:57:43Speaker 1: cold Bud Light.
- 1:57:44Speaker 2: You said it yourself. It's the best.
- 1:57:45Speaker 1: It is the absolute best. What's something you would do
- 1:57:50Speaker 1: anything for? Not talking about beer.
- 1:57:52Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:57:52Speaker 1: What would you do anything for? So people on the
- 1:57:54Speaker 1: show have said, nice steak dinner. Another person said, go
- 1:57:57Speaker 1: to Outer Space. Steve Rinella, did he say go back and, oh.
- 1:58:00Speaker 2: It was to do a documentary. He wanted to do
- 1:58:01Speaker 2: a documentary, no matter what.
- 1:58:03Speaker 1: People said go back in time, see the dinosaurs. So
- 1:58:05Speaker 1: literally the world is your oyster. We can cut through
- 1:58:08Speaker 1: any time you want to think through this. but I
- 1:58:10Speaker 1: want to know what is something you would do anything for?
- 1:58:13Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, maybe, you know, maybe I
- 1:58:16Speaker 2: like a go back in time thing, but I like
- 1:58:18Speaker 2: to go back in time and buy a lot of
- 1:58:21Speaker 2: land and then come back and start my own commune
- 1:58:25Speaker 2: where I can have all my friends and family. We
- 1:58:28Speaker 2: all live on this land and, And we just do
- 1:58:31Speaker 2: whatever we want. And we have a fence around the
- 1:58:33Speaker 2: whole thing. We have all our farm animals. We don't
- 1:58:36Speaker 2: need the outside world. Perfect. That's what I want. To
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: be more secluded. Yeah. Well, you know, secluded, but with
- 1:58:43Speaker 2: the people that you like.
- 1:58:45Speaker 1: The most around you. Where, if you went back in time,
- 1:58:48Speaker 1: had to buy that land. what land specifically would you buy?
- 1:58:52Speaker 2: I think, I guess I would just go to, I
- 1:58:53Speaker 2: would go to Alabama where my dad already is and
- 1:58:56Speaker 2: just buy land around his land. And then we would just,
- 1:59:00Speaker 2: you know, because that's where all my, all my, all my,
- 1:59:04Speaker 2: sorry about that. All my friends and family that I
- 1:59:06Speaker 2: grew up around are there. I don't know, maybe Charleston,
- 1:59:09Speaker 2: maybe I would buy Folly Beach. Buy that.
- 1:59:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:59:13Speaker 2: A hundred percent. That is the move. Yeah.
- 1:59:15Speaker 4: Would you be able to talk everybody back home in
- 1:59:17Speaker 4: Bama to come out to Folly Beach?
- 1:59:19Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
- 1:59:20Speaker 2: I think so. To the beach.
- 1:59:22Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:59:22Speaker 2: That's a steal. I think so.
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: I have all this land now. How'd you get it?
- 1:59:25Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
- 1:59:26Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:59:27Speaker 1: And everyone just comes and hangs out. Everyone's got scabs
- 1:59:29Speaker 1: in their foreheads.
- 1:59:30Speaker 2: And then if you bought a town, you could be
- 1:59:32Speaker 2: the mayor also and then never raise the property tax.
- 1:59:36Speaker 2: There wouldn't be no property tax. Can you actually do that?
- 1:59:40Speaker 2: I don't know, but.
- 1:59:41Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:59:41Speaker 2: But that's what you would attempt to do. Because there
- 1:59:43Speaker 2: are like towns for sale. Somebody needs to do it.
- 1:59:45Speaker 2: Mark Cuban bought a town. Mark Cuban bought a town.
- 1:59:48Speaker 1: There's multiple billionaires that have bought towns. But if you
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: go to Zillow right now, I know of one in Colorado,
- 1:59:53Speaker 1: you can buy a whole town.
- 1:59:54Speaker 2: How much? I think it was 5.3 million.
- 1:59:55Speaker 4: Hey.
- 1:59:55Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:59:55Speaker 2: All right. Tell you what.
- 2:00:01Speaker 4: Okay.
- 2:00:01Speaker 2: Can you get a loan to buy a town? I
- 2:00:03Speaker 2: think so.
- 2:00:04Speaker 1: You can get a loan to kind of do anything, right?
- 2:00:06Speaker 2: I guess you're right. Yeah.
- 2:00:07Speaker 1: Banks will sign off.
- 2:00:07Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: They'll do, especially the interest rates are right now.
- 2:00:10Speaker 4: Are you a real estate guy on the side? Do
- 2:00:13Speaker 4: you invest in trailer parks?
- 2:00:15Speaker 2: Well, I would like to. I bought a couple of things,
- 2:00:19Speaker 2: but I would like to, I'd like to own a
- 2:00:21Speaker 2: trailer park. I wouldn't mind that. You should only be
- 2:00:23Speaker 2: a nice trailer park owner. You know, this is what people,
- 2:00:26Speaker 2: this is what I've heard. This is the scam they
- 2:00:28Speaker 2: run on people. Now they, they buy a trailer park
- 2:00:30Speaker 2: and then they say, you can, this'll be your lot rent.
- 2:00:32Speaker 2: You can move your trailer on here. And then they
- 2:00:35Speaker 2: jack up the lot rent on them and then they
- 2:00:37Speaker 2: can't afford to move the trailer. And then they're stuck. Yeah.
- 2:00:40Speaker 2: I wouldn't do that. No, no, no. You can't do that.
- 2:00:42Speaker 2: I would let them. You create a little cashflow, but
- 2:00:45Speaker 2: not too much. Yeah. Right.
- 2:00:46Speaker 1: Right.
- 2:00:46Speaker 2: If there's nothing wrong. Enough to pay the bills, give
- 2:00:48Speaker 2: yourself a little extra cheddar in the pocket. You want
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: to make a little money, but you don't need to
- 2:00:51Speaker 2: gouge people. Yeah. That's what I think about everything. Everything
- 2:00:54Speaker 2: is the gouge now.
- 2:00:55Speaker 1: $ 6 million for this town right here.
- 2:00:58Speaker 2: Is that an actual town? It looks like a neighborhood.
- 2:00:59Speaker 2: That is Colano, Colorado. Okay. $ 6 million. $ 6 million. Wow.
- 2:01:03Speaker 2: Somebody's going to buy it now that it's on the podcast.
- 2:01:06Speaker 2: But I would go in with some people.
- 2:01:09Speaker 1: Would you live in Colorado?
- 2:01:11Speaker 2: I love Colorado.
- 2:01:12Speaker 8: Okay.
- 2:01:12Speaker 2: Yeah. All right. I'm more of a fan of the
- 2:01:15Speaker 2: heat than the cold.
- 2:01:17Speaker 6: 100%.
- 2:01:17Speaker 2: But my own town? Yeah.
- 2:01:20Speaker 1: I put a sweater on for my own town. That's
- 2:01:23Speaker 1: a good pull right there. Something about having your own
- 2:01:26Speaker 1: town would be awesome. And then you could just kind
- 2:01:28Speaker 1: of do to be the mayor and set laws that
- 2:01:30Speaker 1: may or may not be real, but people around the
- 2:01:32Speaker 1: town are like, all right, I guess we'll just follow
- 2:01:33Speaker 1: those rules.
- 2:01:34Speaker 2: You're the hero. Yeah.
- 2:01:35Speaker 1: The hero of the town.
- 2:01:36Speaker 2: Yeah. Cool rules.
- 2:01:39Speaker 1: I think you're missing a huge opportunity to kind of
- 2:01:41Speaker 1: like start a trailer park franchise. Like sleigh trailers and
- 2:01:46Speaker 1: just kind of go around the country and buying plots
- 2:01:48Speaker 1: of land and making trailer parks. I think you're right
- 2:01:51Speaker 1: about that. I think that's a huge W.
- 2:01:53Speaker 2: You know, I'm into this thing called permaculture where it's
- 2:01:55Speaker 2: like a food forest where you have land and you plant.
- 2:02:00Speaker 2: Everything that grows there is a fruit bearing or a
- 2:02:04Speaker 2: food bearing plant. Yeah. And then it becomes self-sustainable. Because
- 2:02:09Speaker 2: it's like a forest, like you got woods out here.
- 2:02:11Speaker 2: We don't need to do anything and they just keep growing.
- 2:02:14Speaker 2: They keep being woods. So what if you could have
- 2:02:16Speaker 2: that sort of thing, your own commune, your own trailer park,
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: but all the plants that are growing there are all fruit,
- 2:02:23Speaker 2: food bearing plants. Yeah. And then everybody's eating, you got
- 2:02:29Speaker 2: fresh organic fruit all the time. Yeah, I actually love
- 2:02:33Speaker 2: that idea. You get some goats running around and some
- 2:02:35Speaker 2: sheep and chickens. Goats would probably eat everything, but some
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: sheep and some chickens, maybe a cow that you could milk.
- 2:02:44Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Drinking raw milk out there.
- 2:02:46Speaker 2: Raw milk. That's what I'm talking about. How are we
- 2:02:48Speaker 2: getting our red meat? Oh, yeah. I mean, I guess,
- 2:02:51Speaker 2: you know, if you got all that, maybe you could
- 2:02:53Speaker 2: do a little trade with people. I mean, I guess
- 2:02:55Speaker 2: you could get a couple of cows. Yeah, but, you know.
- 2:02:59Speaker 2: Butcher one.
- 2:03:00Speaker 1: It's going to be kids name it. And then once
- 2:03:02Speaker 1: you name a cow, you can't put it down.
- 2:03:04Speaker 2: But I guess if you had a bull and a cow,
- 2:03:07Speaker 2: then you just, you know, you, you raise up the
- 2:03:09Speaker 2: little calf and then you, you know, you slaughter it.
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: Do what has to be done. Yeah. And then you,
- 2:03:14Speaker 2: and then you just keep that cycle.
- 2:03:15Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, slowly start to grow up. People buy into
- 2:03:19Speaker 1: it slowly. You get more cows, but then that costs money,
- 2:03:22Speaker 1: so you have to raise a little bit of price there.
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: And then the U.S. government sees how good we're all doing,
- 2:03:26Speaker 2: and then they come in and burn it down. Yeah.
- 2:03:28Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Yeah, they shut it down.
- 2:03:30Speaker 2: There you go. Right. Ah, he was a cult leader.
- 2:03:34Speaker 2: And I'm all over the news. And then everybody hates me. Meanwhile,
- 2:03:39Speaker 2: everybody was having a good time. A great time.
- 2:03:41Speaker 1: He just bought one too many cows. And that's sort
- 2:03:44Speaker 1: of the domino effect.
- 2:03:45Speaker 2: Apparently there's this cult leader out there. Here's the image
- 2:03:47Speaker 2: of him. And everybody believes it. They see me and
- 2:03:51Speaker 2: they believe it. He bought a town in Colorado. That's
- 2:03:54Speaker 2: a sicko. Yeah.
- 2:03:56Speaker 1: Do you, uh, what's your thoughts on conspiracy theories? Are
- 2:03:58Speaker 1: you a big conspiracy theorist or you don't, don't even
- 2:04:00Speaker 1: waste your time with it?
- 2:04:01Speaker 2: No, I'm, I, I'm into every one of them. Okay. Yeah.
- 2:04:04Speaker 1: What's one conspiracy theory that you're like 100% this is true.
- 2:04:08Speaker 2: I mean, there's so many, but, um, um, I don't know. Uh,
- 2:04:13Speaker 2: you know, there, you know, the, the true ones are
- 2:04:15Speaker 2: the scary ones, you know, it's the ridiculous ones that
- 2:04:18Speaker 2: are fun. Yeah. Yeah. The ridiculous ones are fun.
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: But is the world being flat ridiculous to you?
- 2:04:24Speaker 2: Has somebody been talking to you about me? No. Okay.
- 2:04:28Speaker 1: Am I actually onto something right now?
- 2:04:30Speaker 2: You know, I never say what the shape of the
- 2:04:33Speaker 2: earth is, but the idea that it could be is
- 2:04:36Speaker 2: not ridiculous to me. Okay.
- 2:04:38Speaker 1: Do you want to elaborate any more or are we
- 2:04:40Speaker 1: in a little bit of a spot? This looks real
- 2:04:43Speaker 1: to you right here?
- 2:04:43Speaker 2: No, no. See, this is what I believe they create
- 2:04:46Speaker 2: to make the idea seem completely ridiculous. Okay. I'm going
- 2:04:50Speaker 2: to sit back. I want you to explain this to me. Well,
- 2:04:51Speaker 2: I mean, look at this. Obviously, this is not what's
- 2:04:54Speaker 2: going on, but I don't know. You just observe what
- 2:04:59Speaker 2: you observe out here. The only reason that you believe
- 2:05:02Speaker 2: that the Earth is... the way you believe it is
- 2:05:05Speaker 2: because someone told you that it was. It's very true.
- 2:05:07Speaker 2: You didn't see it. You see a picture. And if
- 2:05:10Speaker 2: you pull up pictures of the globe, I mean, they're
- 2:05:12Speaker 2: all different. They all look different every time. So we
- 2:05:17Speaker 2: just believe it because that's what we're told. And then
- 2:05:20Speaker 2: every time you talk about it, somebody's like, oh, my
- 2:05:23Speaker 2: uncle works at NASA and you're an idiot. And everybody goes, see,
- 2:05:28Speaker 2: but I don't know your uncle. I don't trust him. And-
- 2:05:35Speaker 2: So I don't, you know, I don't believe him.
- 2:05:38Speaker 1: So do you think there's an edge? That was the
- 2:05:40Speaker 1: next question I was going to ask.
- 2:05:41Speaker 2: There may not even, who knows, right? But there may not,
- 2:05:45Speaker 2: what if, you know, there is no, I mean, I
- 2:05:48Speaker 2: would think there would be an end, but the idea
- 2:05:52Speaker 2: that we're floating is also something that we've been told,
- 2:05:56Speaker 2: you know, and I'm not saying we're not, but I'm
- 2:05:59Speaker 2: just saying you only believe that because you were told that. Right.
- 2:06:03Speaker 2: You didn't see it.
- 2:06:05Speaker 4: No.
- 2:06:06Speaker 2: Uh, you know, and then you go, I'm in an airplane.
- 2:06:08Speaker 2: People go, I saw the curve. I mean, I've been
- 2:06:10Speaker 2: in an airplane. I took, I didn't take a ruler,
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: but I took a flat sided object and I held
- 2:06:15Speaker 2: it up to the horizon. It doesn't curve. Uh, and
- 2:06:19Speaker 2: then they go, then the moment you say that they go, well,
- 2:06:21Speaker 2: you don't, you're not high enough to see it. You
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: gotta be higher than that. So no matter what you never,
- 2:06:28Speaker 2: we're never big enough. We're never high enough. You're never
- 2:06:30Speaker 2: far enough away. You don't have the technology. You're not
- 2:06:33Speaker 2: smart enough. Everything is always like, well, you're just not,
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: you're stupid. That's what they all say. And I'm just saying,
- 2:06:41Speaker 2: I see what I see out here. They used to
- 2:06:43Speaker 2: say that you watch a ship out at the ocean
- 2:06:46Speaker 2: and when it goes away, that's it going over the horizon.
- 2:06:50Speaker 2: And then we invented zoom lenses and you watch a
- 2:06:53Speaker 2: ship go over the horizon and then they zoom in
- 2:06:56Speaker 2: on it. And there it is still there. So it
- 2:07:00Speaker 2: went out of our sight lines. And so I'm not
- 2:07:04Speaker 2: saying anything, but all I'm saying is, what do we observe?
- 2:07:09Speaker 2: What are we seeing out there?
- 2:07:11Speaker 4: So there's a version in your thought process that we're
- 2:07:15Speaker 4: not even floating. Like we're just on flat land. It
- 2:07:18Speaker 4: sounds like to me- For eternity.
- 2:07:20Speaker 2: That's how it feels.
- 2:07:21Speaker 1: He's not giving us an answer. He's not saying this
- 2:07:23Speaker 1: is how it is.
- 2:07:24Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. He's just saying what we've been
- 2:07:25Speaker 2: told is- Right, right. Well, I don't know, but you're
- 2:07:28Speaker 2: not even allowed to ask the questions. The moment you
- 2:07:31Speaker 2: start asking questions- People call you stupid. Some people disappear.
- 2:07:35Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:07:36Speaker 2: And I'm just observing with my own eyes. And then,
- 2:07:41Speaker 2: you know, you're not allowed to do that. You can't
- 2:07:44Speaker 2: go to, apparently you can't go to Antarctica on your
- 2:07:46Speaker 2: own and just explore. That is so weird. They'll give
- 2:07:49Speaker 2: you a guided tour, but then they say, oh, we're
- 2:07:52Speaker 2: just protecting you. Oh, it's so cold down there. We're
- 2:07:56Speaker 2: just protecting you. But you know what? You let me
- 2:07:58Speaker 2: eat McDonald's. You don't have a problem with that. You
- 2:08:01Speaker 2: push that on me, but suddenly now you're protecting me.
- 2:08:06Speaker 1: I kind of like the way you're cooking right now.
- 2:08:07Speaker 1: You're kind of doing some shit. The government doesn't protect us.
- 2:08:11Speaker 1: If somebody, if someone's dumb uncle from NASA said, oh,
- 2:08:15Speaker 1: we'll prove it to them. We can put them up.
- 2:08:16Speaker 1: Didn't Katy Perry go up in space? Yes.
- 2:08:20Speaker 4: Oh, okay.
- 2:08:21Speaker 1: She's the fake space thing. Someone said, we will take
- 2:08:23Speaker 1: you up to whatever, right before you get to real space.
- 2:08:26Speaker 1: So you can see the earth and the curvature.
- 2:08:28Speaker 2: Would you do that? Yeah, I'd do it. You would
- 2:08:30Speaker 2: actually go up? Well, it depends. Who are we talking
- 2:08:32Speaker 2: about going with? I'd need to go with some people
- 2:08:35Speaker 2: I trusted. At least some people I trusted need to
- 2:08:37Speaker 2: be in there because I think they just take me
- 2:08:39Speaker 2: up there and they would just go up there and
- 2:08:41Speaker 2: kill me. I feel like you don't want to. Or
- 2:08:44Speaker 2: you could be in some simulator. That's true too. I mean,
- 2:08:47Speaker 2: what can you even, you know, Elon Musk, when he
- 2:08:50Speaker 2: did the car flying around space or whatever, and he said,
- 2:08:55Speaker 2: you know it's real because it looks so fake. That
- 2:08:59Speaker 2: was his words. He says, we have better CGI than this.
- 2:09:03Speaker 2: So they admit that the CGI is so good, you
- 2:09:05Speaker 2: wouldn't even be able to know. The movie, what was the, yeah.
- 2:09:09Speaker 2: What was the movie with George Clooney and- Sandra Bullock,
- 2:09:14Speaker 2: maybe where they went in gravity. It looked amazing. It
- 2:09:19Speaker 2: looked amazing. That is very true. And look at this thing.
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: Look at this guy. He said, this is real. Everybody
- 2:09:24Speaker 2: saw that and they go, oh, so cool, man. But
- 2:09:28Speaker 2: people love space, right? So they get really offended because
- 2:09:31Speaker 2: they love space and they want, they want it to
- 2:09:33Speaker 2: be real. Do you think aliens exist? I think aliens
- 2:09:37Speaker 2: are demons. Okay. I think. So this is like a
- 2:09:39Speaker 2: religious thing. Well, I think that I don't know if
- 2:09:43Speaker 2: there's a space. So there's no, you know, I don't
- 2:09:47Speaker 2: know because, you know, we can't, you know, we never.
- 2:09:51Speaker 2: Nobody can prove it to you. Even the moon landing,
- 2:09:53Speaker 2: they're like, we can't go back. They go, we'd like
- 2:09:55Speaker 2: to go, but we lost the technology. That's what they said.
- 2:09:57Speaker 2: They said that? There's a guy that said that. That
- 2:10:00Speaker 2: is factual. But look at this guy. See, the guy
- 2:10:02Speaker 2: on the left here is a drawing of a demon
- 2:10:07Speaker 2: that Aleister Crowley saw called, and he called it Lam, L-A-M.
- 2:10:12Speaker 2: And he said that he opened a portal to another realm.
- 2:10:16Speaker 2: This is Aleister Crowley, who's a big Satanist. And he said,
- 2:10:19Speaker 2: he opened a portal and he said, that's what came through.
- 2:10:23Speaker 2: That's what he said. I'm not making this up. This
- 2:10:25Speaker 2: is not my story, but this, and then the one
- 2:10:28Speaker 2: on the right is what we're told is an alien.
- 2:10:31Speaker 2: And they look, you know, pretty similar. Nearly similar.
- 2:10:34Speaker 1: Eyes are definitely different sizes, but other than that, they're pretty,
- 2:10:37Speaker 1: they're pretty there.
- 2:10:38Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:10:38Speaker 1: So aliens are not, they're not extraterrestrial. They are demons
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: from hell. Yeah.
- 2:10:44Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what extraterrestrial means in the sense,
- 2:10:47Speaker 2: but I don't believe they're from space. Gotcha. Because you
- 2:10:49Speaker 2: don't believe in space. I don't know if it's real. Right.
- 2:10:54Speaker 2: I'd hate to put words in your mouth. That's on me.
- 2:10:56Speaker 2: Because all I'm saying again, what do we see? We
- 2:10:59Speaker 2: go out, we look at the sky. We just see
- 2:11:01Speaker 2: a sky. It's blue. And then we see space movies
- 2:11:03Speaker 2: and we go, well, that must be what it is.
- 2:11:05Speaker 2: That's what I do. But yeah. That's exactly what I do. Well,
- 2:11:08Speaker 2: we don't know. And all I'm saying is I'm open
- 2:11:11Speaker 2: to space being real. that we're on a globe, that
- 2:11:14Speaker 2: we're spinning, you know, 666,000 miles an hour or something
- 2:11:18Speaker 2: like that. And that we're soaring through space and that
- 2:11:22Speaker 2: the sun is soaring through space and we're soaring around it.
- 2:11:25Speaker 2: Also going around the Milky Way galaxy at thousands of
- 2:11:28Speaker 2: miles an hour. And then that galaxy is in a
- 2:11:31Speaker 2: never ending vacuum of space. I'm open to it. But
- 2:11:40Speaker 2: is it real? And what's fucked up.
- 2:11:42Speaker 1: Is the way you're talking is like Will and I
- 2:11:44Speaker 1: are going to walk away being like, hey, is he
- 2:11:46Speaker 1: fucking right?
- 2:11:47Speaker 4: So how do you explain like the sun and the moon?
- 2:11:49Speaker 4: Like you just think they just go up and down?
- 2:11:51Speaker 2: That's a light bulb. Well, some people might believe that
- 2:11:54Speaker 2: if you're on a circle, not a ball, but a circle-
- 2:11:59Speaker 2: that these things are just going around in a circle
- 2:12:02Speaker 2: like a clock. So it's all like a time piece.
- 2:12:05Speaker 2: And biblically, the sun and the moon are given to
- 2:12:08Speaker 2: us for the times and the seasons. The sun, the moon,
- 2:12:12Speaker 2: the stars are for the times and the seasons. So
- 2:12:14Speaker 2: it would be like a clock going around us. And
- 2:12:16Speaker 2: so things just go out of our sight line. And
- 2:12:19Speaker 2: it appears like a ship going over the horizon. It
- 2:12:23Speaker 2: appears as though the sun goes down. Because it's no
- 2:12:26Speaker 2: longer visible to us because we can't see that far.
- 2:12:31Speaker 4: And then it just, how does it get back in
- 2:12:32Speaker 4: behind us? And then it comes around, comes.
- 2:12:34Speaker 2: Around, back around the other. Like this?
- 2:12:37Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:12:38Speaker 2: So if, like, let's say that you have a compass, right?
- 2:12:42Speaker 2: And the compass, people make fun of me about the
- 2:12:44Speaker 2: way I say it. I was thinking it. Compass is
- 2:12:47Speaker 2: the way people say it. But a compass only points north, right?
- 2:12:52Speaker 2: So you have what would be known as magnetic north.
- 2:12:56Speaker 2: So if you go north and you're looking at the
- 2:13:00Speaker 2: compass and you're like, I'm going to go east. No
- 2:13:03Speaker 2: matter what, if it went around in a circle, it's
- 2:13:06Speaker 2: always point north. If you followed it east, kept that
- 2:13:10Speaker 2: thing pointing north, you would just go in a circle.
- 2:13:14Speaker 2: Because it never... It's a magnetic north. Magnetic north. So,
- 2:13:18Speaker 2: you know, hypothetically. Hypothetically. And I'm only just talking about
- 2:13:23Speaker 2: things that I'm not saying I believe it. I'm just
- 2:13:25Speaker 2: saying these are things that I've spent time looking at
- 2:13:29Speaker 2: and I go, it's an interesting thought.
- 2:13:31Speaker 1: You're explaining things to us that people have said, not
- 2:13:34Speaker 1: you have said. I, you know, I didn't make it up.
- 2:13:36Speaker 2: Right. But I'm just saying that's pretty interesting. And then
- 2:13:39Speaker 2: it's just lights.
- 2:13:41Speaker 1: Have you heard the theory that Australia does not actually,
- 2:13:43Speaker 1: actually exist?
- 2:13:44Speaker 2: I've not heard that.
- 2:13:45Speaker 1: Okay, there's a theory that Australia doesn't exist, that when
- 2:13:47Speaker 1: you go to Australia, they just take you with a
- 2:13:49Speaker 1: plane and they fly you around for like 18 hours
- 2:13:51Speaker 1: and they land you someplace random and they say, this
- 2:13:53Speaker 1: is Australia.
- 2:13:54Speaker 2: Oh, okay. Allegedly. I don't know.
- 2:14:00Speaker 1: That's as far as my education goes.
- 2:14:02Speaker 2: Who knows about anything, right? They give us a map
- 2:14:05Speaker 2: and they go, these are the things. But who knows?
- 2:14:09Speaker 1: What are the things that interest you that people are
- 2:14:11Speaker 1: saying that you don't necessarily believe but you're also open
- 2:14:14Speaker 1: to the idea of? Are ticks a bigger issue than
- 2:14:16Speaker 1: they ever have been in your life?
- 2:14:18Speaker 2: You know, uh, I've been, uh, had many ticks on
- 2:14:21Speaker 2: me and, uh, I don't find them to be a
- 2:14:24Speaker 2: bigger issue. I heard that they're dropping boxes of ticks
- 2:14:27Speaker 2: and fields and, but I don't know. I'm not seeing
- 2:14:30Speaker 2: more ticks. Okay. I've, I always have encountered ticks.
- 2:14:34Speaker 4: Always.
- 2:14:35Speaker 2: Yeah. And I said, I didn't believe in Lyme disease
- 2:14:38Speaker 2: one time. And some people messaged me and said they've
- 2:14:40Speaker 2: suffered with Lyme disease for a long time. So I
- 2:14:42Speaker 2: guess it's real, but, uh, So you're open to the
- 2:14:46Speaker 2: idea that it's real. Yeah, you know, I'm open to
- 2:14:49Speaker 2: the idea that people suffer from things, you know, and that,
- 2:14:53Speaker 2: you know, some kind of weird insect could give you
- 2:14:56Speaker 2: a problem. So do we ever land on the moon? Well,
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I don't think that, you know,
- 2:15:03Speaker 2: that I don't even think it's something, well, that it's
- 2:15:06Speaker 2: something to be landed on.
- 2:15:09Speaker 1: People think it's not something to be landed on. Because
- 2:15:12Speaker 1: in the photo that Sherm was showing with the compass
- 2:15:14Speaker 1: and the always north and the, sun rotating, isn't this
- 2:15:17Speaker 1: thing with the sun and the reason why we see
- 2:15:20Speaker 1: the moon is like the shadow casted from the sun
- 2:15:23Speaker 1: and that's why we can see it. So would there
- 2:15:25Speaker 1: even be a reason to have a moon if it
- 2:15:26Speaker 1: wasn't for gravitational force?
- 2:15:28Speaker 2: I've not done this experiment, but I've seen videos where
- 2:15:31Speaker 2: people claim to have done this, that if you take
- 2:15:35Speaker 2: one of these thermometers that you can just kind of,
- 2:15:39Speaker 2: it's a laser thermometer. So they would shine it in
- 2:15:43Speaker 2: the sunlight on the ground and the temperature, let's say,
- 2:15:46Speaker 2: would be 90 degrees. And then they would shine it
- 2:15:49Speaker 2: in the shade and it would be 85. So cooler
- 2:15:52Speaker 2: in the shade than in the sun, obviously. But then
- 2:15:56Speaker 2: the moonlight, they would also do that. And then you
- 2:16:00Speaker 2: would shine it in the moonlight and let's say it's
- 2:16:02Speaker 2: 80 degrees and then in the shadow, 85 degrees. So
- 2:16:08Speaker 2: that the light from the moon is actually a cooling
- 2:16:11Speaker 2: light as opposed to the sun being a heating light.
- 2:16:16Speaker 2: So if it's just, and I don't know, I've not
- 2:16:19Speaker 2: done the experiment, but if it's just, um, If it's
- 2:16:24Speaker 2: just the reflection of the sun, how is it a
- 2:16:28Speaker 2: different kind of light? And why do we not go
- 2:16:32Speaker 2: up there and scrape some of that moon stuff? Because
- 2:16:35Speaker 2: it's very reflective. That would be amazing for us to
- 2:16:38Speaker 2: just have here on earth. Wouldn't that be? I don't know.
- 2:16:43Speaker 2: I'm trying to listen. It's, you know, it's probably Satan
- 2:16:45Speaker 2: getting to you. Doesn't want you to hear this info.
- 2:16:48Speaker 2: I'm starting to learn too much about what's happening right now.
- 2:16:50Speaker 3: You can tell Taylor's compromised.
- 2:16:52Speaker 2: What were you saying about the moon and cut some
- 2:16:54Speaker 2: of that stuff off? Well, if it's so reflective, I've
- 2:16:56Speaker 2: never seen anything like that that's so reflective. Give me
- 2:16:59Speaker 2: a second. Wouldn't it be amazing if we had a
- 2:17:02Speaker 2: little moon dirt down here that we could reflect? He's
- 2:17:05Speaker 2: going to get the FBI. He's like, hey, we got him.
- 2:17:11Speaker 3: Guys, he brought up the moon dust.
- 2:17:13Speaker 4: But what would we use the moon stuff for down
- 2:17:16Speaker 4: here on earth?
- 2:17:16Speaker 2: Well, I mean, we always need some type of reflect.
- 2:17:19Speaker 2: I mean, we could put it on people's, uh, vest
- 2:17:22Speaker 2: so they could run, you know? I mean, uh, uh,
- 2:17:25Speaker 2: you know, our road crews wouldn't get hit by cars anymore,
- 2:17:28Speaker 2: you know? I mean, it'd be an amazing reflective material.
- 2:17:32Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:17:32Speaker 2: And why did they not bring it back and show
- 2:17:34Speaker 2: that to us? Apparently they brought back a moon rock
- 2:17:37Speaker 2: and they gave it to some foreign minister and And
- 2:17:40Speaker 2: he had it tested and it turned out to be
- 2:17:43Speaker 2: petrified wood from Antarctica. And this is another thing. You
- 2:17:50Speaker 2: ever see the astronauts that landed on the moon? You
- 2:17:53Speaker 2: ever see those guys, the press conference after landing on
- 2:17:55Speaker 2: the moon? No, I have not. They could not seem
- 2:18:01Speaker 2: less enthused. I mean, can you imagine you're the first
- 2:18:06Speaker 2: man to ever walk on the moon and now you're
- 2:18:09Speaker 2: coming back to talk to the public and you're that guy?
- 2:18:16Speaker 2: How excited you would be? I mean, you see guys
- 2:18:20Speaker 2: scoring touchdowns and they're dancing and it's just wild. And
- 2:18:24Speaker 2: then these guys are like, oh yeah, we did light
- 2:18:27Speaker 2: it on the moon. Really a lot of fun. Buzz
- 2:18:31Speaker 2: Aldrin just compromised. Yeah, we're like, ah, yeah, it was
- 2:18:33Speaker 2: a good time or whatever. But, you know, it's like,
- 2:18:35Speaker 2: why are you not excited? I would be excited. There's
- 2:18:39Speaker 2: no excitement in you? If they're not excited, we sent
- 2:18:42Speaker 2: the wrong guys to the moon. Let's get some guys
- 2:18:45Speaker 2: that are pumped about it. Can you imagine giving one
- 2:18:48Speaker 2: of these guys- I think I am compromised. Can you
- 2:18:50Speaker 2: imagine giving one of these guys a Christmas gift? Oh
- 2:18:53Speaker 2: my God. You go, do you like it? Ah, yeah,
- 2:18:57Speaker 2: it's so good. I love it. Well, look at this
- 2:18:59Speaker 2: stern boy. Yeah, look at this guy. Nah, I can
- 2:19:01Speaker 2: just see myself. I'm just questioning all this now. Yo,
- 2:19:05Speaker 2: I can't stop coughing.
- 2:19:05Speaker 4: Hold on.
- 2:19:06Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll get you. Are you good? I don't know.
- 2:19:08Speaker 2: I got a cough or something. I need like a,
- 2:19:11Speaker 2: a lozenge. Give me a second. You might've pissed him off. Well, listen,
- 2:19:17Speaker 2: people love space and it is, uh, it hurts him. Like,
- 2:19:23Speaker 2: look at this lady's hair. Like, This is what I
- 2:19:28Speaker 2: would think. If this were going on, I would think
- 2:19:31Speaker 2: the mandate would be you must cut your hair really short.
- 2:19:34Speaker 2: Because I could see this being a problem. Look at
- 2:19:36Speaker 2: this hair that I have. It gets in my mouth
- 2:19:39Speaker 2: and I'm in gravity. And I'm trying to swim with
- 2:19:43Speaker 2: this hair. I've nearly drowned coming up and my hair
- 2:19:46Speaker 2: is still in my face and I can't breathe. And
- 2:19:49Speaker 2: now this is an astronaut and she's got this wild hair.
- 2:19:53Speaker 3: Why would you go perfectly up?
- 2:19:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think that you would go, listen, there's
- 2:19:58Speaker 2: a lot of moving parts up here. You're going to
- 2:20:00Speaker 2: be in space. There's things that could go wrong. We
- 2:20:02Speaker 2: will need everyone to cut their hair really short.
- 2:20:04Speaker 3: You need a hair nut to work at McDonald's, but
- 2:20:06Speaker 3: you don't need a hair nut in space.
- 2:20:08Speaker 2: But I think it's because they want to go, look
- 2:20:11Speaker 2: at this, guys. And we all go, that's crazy, man.
- 2:20:14Speaker 2: Look at these guys. They're floating.
- 2:20:17Speaker 4: So what do you do when your daughter, when she
- 2:20:19Speaker 4: starts going through the educational system and she's coming back
- 2:20:22Speaker 4: excited to tell you about space?
- 2:20:24Speaker 2: Well- I mean, I think you got to hear it and,
- 2:20:27Speaker 2: you know, let them have fun. People need to enjoy
- 2:20:31Speaker 2: their lives, you know? And so I want them, you know,
- 2:20:34Speaker 2: I want people to enjoy their lives. But at some
- 2:20:36Speaker 2: point you go, here's some other thoughts. Yeah. Here's some
- 2:20:41Speaker 2: other ideas. And I think we should be open to
- 2:20:44Speaker 2: all ideas. The people, they go, oh, it's so, oh,
- 2:20:47Speaker 2: people believe the earth is flat now. It's so dangerous.
- 2:20:50Speaker 2: I go, what's dangerous? there's people out here that can't
- 2:20:55Speaker 2: even read. I don't think the earth, you know, the idea,
- 2:21:00Speaker 2: I think it's fun. I think it's a fun time.
- 2:21:03Speaker 2: It's not dangerous. You know, they don't, I see people
- 2:21:06Speaker 2: on the street, they hand these guys a piece of
- 2:21:08Speaker 2: paper and they go read this and they can't read it.
- 2:21:12Speaker 2: And yet they think it's dangerous. If you're like, I
- 2:21:15Speaker 2: don't know, have you entertained yourself with the idea that
- 2:21:18Speaker 2: Maybe the earth is flat and everything's dangerous. They got
- 2:21:22Speaker 2: to make it all correct. Ooh, can you, oh, what
- 2:21:25Speaker 2: you're doing is, it's dangerous. What subject are we on now?
- 2:21:29Speaker 2: I think I fixed my issue. All right. We're still
- 2:21:31Speaker 2: on it. We're still back.
- 2:21:32Speaker 1: I was looking for a cough drop, but I found
- 2:21:34Speaker 1: a sugar-free Jolly Rancher.
- 2:21:35Speaker 2: I think I'm safe now. Yeah, see, this is, whatever's
- 2:21:38Speaker 2: going on in that picture's, you know, more believable with
- 2:21:41Speaker 2: their hair because, you know, I don't know if her
- 2:21:43Speaker 2: hair's shaved or, but that makes more sense. The idea
- 2:21:49Speaker 2: that you're letting it fly around in space doesn't make
- 2:21:52Speaker 2: any sense.
- 2:21:52Speaker 4: Yeah, like if you're going to go to space, you
- 2:21:54Speaker 4: need to shave your head because of the problems that
- 2:21:57Speaker 4: could occur with.
- 2:21:58Speaker 2: All the loose hair. Yeah, no gravity. The stuff's flying
- 2:22:01Speaker 2: all around. You should see me in a pool. I mean,
- 2:22:03Speaker 2: hair's going everywhere. You know?
- 2:22:07Speaker 1: So were you fully on board with the idea that
- 2:22:10Speaker 1: Space does not exist anymore.
- 2:22:11Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. I'm open to the idea. We're
- 2:22:13Speaker 2: just having fun. We're just doing a bit. I'm just
- 2:22:15Speaker 2: trying to figure out where you guys are. I'm just
- 2:22:17Speaker 2: doing a bit. And look at this guy. I mean,
- 2:22:21Speaker 2: it's all like, it's such a joke, but like conspiracy
- 2:22:26Speaker 2: theorists spot baffling proof. It's like nobody. And I just
- 2:22:32Speaker 2: know a few people. Nobody that thinks it's flat is
- 2:22:36Speaker 2: fooled by this. Nobody goes, oh, I don't know how
- 2:22:39Speaker 2: they did it. With the technology we have now, I
- 2:22:43Speaker 2: don't know how they made it look like that drop
- 2:22:46Speaker 2: of water went in that guy's mouth. It's crazy, man.
- 2:22:50Speaker 2: I mean, you see the stuff people are able to
- 2:22:52Speaker 2: do on their phones with AI. I mean, I saw
- 2:22:56Speaker 2: a lady fall out of a back of an ambulance
- 2:22:58Speaker 2: on a stretcher and, you know, get hit by a car.
- 2:23:02Speaker 2: I mean, it's all AI. It's like, You saw Jerry
- 2:23:05Speaker 2: Jones jumping out of the nosebleeds over the weekend. I
- 2:23:08Speaker 2: saw Sylvester Stallone jump off a cliff onto two trampolines
- 2:23:11Speaker 2: and then back onto the cliff. I saw that same clip.
- 2:23:14Speaker 2: I don't know why I keep coughing. I apologize. I'm
- 2:23:17Speaker 2: reading this podcast. But the drop going in the water,
- 2:23:21Speaker 2: I don't go, oh, gosh, guys, how'd they do it? Hey,
- 2:23:30Speaker 2: this one's funny right here. Did you see this one? No.
- 2:23:35Speaker 4: I think that's just a normal video.
- 2:23:39Speaker 2: Oh, here you go. Oh, here we go. Look at this. Oh, yeah.
- 2:23:43Speaker 2: How'd they do it?
- 2:23:44Speaker 8: Gosh.
- 2:23:47Speaker 2: I've never seen Dak look so scared in his life.
- 2:23:50Speaker 4: I was fascinated by that convo. Everybody I know, they're like, oh,
- 2:23:55Speaker 4: they got Willie C. Oh, but Willie C, he's got
- 2:23:57Speaker 4: the CTE brain.
- 2:23:58Speaker 2: Like, he's gullible. All fair. I wish I was here
- 2:24:01Speaker 2: for most of it. He just continued to cook. I'm
- 2:24:05Speaker 2: fighting the fight over here, even right now. It's a
- 2:24:07Speaker 2: little tickle. You know, the best, there's a lozenge called
- 2:24:12Speaker 2: Fisherman's Lozenge. It's the best to keep a cough away.
- 2:24:15Speaker 2: The yellow bag? It's a white, a little white bag. Okay.
- 2:24:19Speaker 2: Fisherman's Lozenge.
- 2:24:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:24:20Speaker 2: Fisherman's Friend. That's the best. Oh, I guess there is
- 2:24:23Speaker 2: a yellow bag.
- 2:24:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:24:24Speaker 1: I got sick like two weeks ago for the first
- 2:24:26Speaker 1: time in a long time.
- 2:24:27Speaker 2: And since then, still. Yeah.
- 2:24:29Speaker 1: A little bit of a cough, a little bit of
- 2:24:30Speaker 1: a runny nose. Yeah. But I think that's a tick bite.
- 2:24:32Speaker 1: It might be a tick bite or something that I got.
- 2:24:34Speaker 1: The Lyme disease is getting me or something like that.
- 2:24:36Speaker 2: Because that's real. Maybe the contrails. Yeah. But that one's
- 2:24:42Speaker 2: the best for a cough. And then the sore throat
- 2:24:45Speaker 2: is the throat coat lozenge. You only can get it
- 2:24:49Speaker 2: at Whole Foods, but it's the best. Are we off?
- 2:24:54Speaker 1: So clearly we found your number one conspiracy theory.
- 2:24:56Speaker 2: Are there anything else?
- 2:24:57Speaker 1: That you've heard a lot about that people should ask
- 2:24:59Speaker 1: questions or want to ask questions about?
- 2:25:01Speaker 2: I mean, everybody should just ask questions about everything. Every
- 2:25:04Speaker 2: time something- Where you at on Bigfoot? I don't know.
- 2:25:07Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like Bigfoot's one of those where
- 2:25:09Speaker 2: it's like it's just kind of a light one fun
- 2:25:11Speaker 2: for people. But I think there's so much forest. There's
- 2:25:14Speaker 2: so much stuff out there that I don't think that
- 2:25:16Speaker 2: we have any idea of everything that's out there. I
- 2:25:19Speaker 2: think it's quite possible. I think the ocean we've barely explored.
- 2:25:22Speaker 2: I think they say 10% of the ocean's been explored,
- 2:25:25Speaker 2: which is also another reason to not believe in space.
- 2:25:28Speaker 2: It's like you're telling me you're like, we got to
- 2:25:30Speaker 2: get out there and see what's out there. But yet
- 2:25:33Speaker 2: we don't even explore our whole oceans yet. That's a
- 2:25:35Speaker 2: great point. That's where we should put all our money into.
- 2:25:38Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:25:38Speaker 2: I mean, JFK, I mean, obviously they killed JFK for,
- 2:25:42Speaker 2: you know, he's trying to, he's trying to clean some
- 2:25:45Speaker 2: stuff up.
- 2:25:45Speaker 1: Try to clean some stuff up. Try to get out
- 2:25:47Speaker 1: of wars.
- 2:25:47Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 2:25:47Speaker 2: And they go, that's what I can kind of get
- 2:25:49Speaker 2: on board with. They go, no, we got to get
- 2:25:50Speaker 2: that guy.
- 2:25:51Speaker 1: Not get on board with, but gun to my head.
- 2:25:54Speaker 1: I think I would lean towards government over to some
- 2:25:58Speaker 1: grassy knoll guy to do. That's up in a, yeah,
- 2:26:01Speaker 1: that's up in a, a window.
- 2:26:03Speaker 2: I'm like, Oh, that's the only guy. Yeah, but government's
- 2:26:06Speaker 2: probably all of it. NASA takes in a lot of money.
- 2:26:10Speaker 2: They get a lot of money, billions, maybe more. Yeah,
- 2:26:15Speaker 2: they're just the faces.
- 2:26:16Speaker 1: The idea that the earth is only 10%, we've only
- 2:26:19Speaker 1: seen 10% of it is kind of just so wild
- 2:26:21Speaker 1: to me.
- 2:26:21Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:26:22Speaker 1: That we haven't been so into, like, let's just get
- 2:26:24Speaker 1: down there and fish around a little bit.
- 2:26:26Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:26:26Speaker 1: Another thing that throws me off quite a bit too,
- 2:26:28Speaker 1: have you seen the conspiracy.
- 2:26:29Speaker 2: Theory on the Titanic? Oh yeah, but that it was
- 2:26:32Speaker 2: the bankers?
- 2:26:33Speaker 1: It was the bankers that were doing it because like
- 2:26:34Speaker 1: the Rothschilds and there was like the number two family
- 2:26:37Speaker 1: to the Rothschilds. It was like a move by the
- 2:26:40Speaker 1: Rothschilds to like sink the boat, make sure they stayed
- 2:26:42Speaker 1: on it so they can get over and essentially start
- 2:26:44Speaker 1: where they started.
- 2:26:45Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, I haven't seen that one.
- 2:26:48Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like apparently like Titanic was an inside job
- 2:26:52Speaker 1: because it was like the richest of the rich. were
- 2:26:54Speaker 1: traveling obviously on the Atlantic ocean to get to America.
- 2:26:57Speaker 2: Yeah. They had to get rid of all their opposition. Yes. Yeah.
- 2:27:01Speaker 1: So the Rothschilds, but essentially it was like, we're going
- 2:27:03Speaker 1: to sink the ship and have a go to the
- 2:27:05Speaker 1: bottom ocean. It's going to take the riches, the other
- 2:27:08Speaker 1: richest people in the world. And we're going to float
- 2:27:10Speaker 1: on over to America.
- 2:27:11Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, most people, you know, they don't want to,
- 2:27:14Speaker 2: you know, and I get it, you know, people don't
- 2:27:16Speaker 2: want to think about anything because you know, life's hard
- 2:27:19Speaker 2: enough as it is. People are out here. They're trying,
- 2:27:21Speaker 2: they got to go to work. They got to, raise
- 2:27:22Speaker 2: their kids and they don't want to think that everything
- 2:27:25Speaker 2: is a conspiracy. And I get it. Why not? Why
- 2:27:28Speaker 2: would you? Life's hard enough as it is without thinking
- 2:27:32Speaker 2: that everything you believe is fake. You're like, let me
- 2:27:34Speaker 2: just enjoy Christmas without you telling me that it's a
- 2:27:40Speaker 2: pagan holiday. Let me just enjoy the space movie without
- 2:27:45Speaker 2: you telling me it's not real. I get it. Yeah.
- 2:27:48Speaker 2: But everything is fake and it all sucks. Everything's fake.
- 2:27:56Speaker 2: And it all sucks. Listen, I know you guys are
- 2:27:59Speaker 2: football players, but it's like football is another one that
- 2:28:06Speaker 2: I put so much of my life into that I loved.
- 2:28:09Speaker 2: And I'm like, I keep watching these games and I'm like,
- 2:28:13Speaker 2: this is a good game, man. All my team's about
- 2:28:15Speaker 2: to win. And then the worst call of all time
- 2:28:18Speaker 2: happens and you go, what happened? And then it changes
- 2:28:23Speaker 2: the game and then the other team wins and then
- 2:28:26Speaker 2: everybody goes, oh, what a crazy game. And I go,
- 2:28:30Speaker 2: why are we letting that happen?
- 2:28:32Speaker 1: What's crazy to me is how does Las Vegas have
- 2:28:35Speaker 1: these lines so perfectly put down?
- 2:28:38Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:28:38Speaker 1: Like minus two and a half in teams win by three.
- 2:28:41Speaker 1: I think it's incredible.
- 2:28:42Speaker 2: How do they know?
- 2:28:43Speaker 1: How do they run all those things and just know?
- 2:28:46Speaker 2: You know, and it's like, obviously you can't, you know,
- 2:28:49Speaker 2: I don't think anything's scripted and I don't think that
- 2:28:52Speaker 2: you can totally predict it, but I think there could
- 2:28:55Speaker 2: be people in place that, you know, can shape things throughout.
- 2:28:59Speaker 2: Maybe like the game a little bit.
- 2:29:00Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:29:00Speaker 2: And I don't know who it is. I don't have
- 2:29:02Speaker 2: the answers, but I'm just saying too many times I'm
- 2:29:05Speaker 2: watching and I go, well, Why did you... And I
- 2:29:10Speaker 2: don't even... I haven't even been watching, but the Alabama
- 2:29:13Speaker 2: game was this weekend. I was just going to say,
- 2:29:15Speaker 2: Bama just lost to Georgia on a bad VI call.
- 2:29:16Speaker 2: And there was a pass interference, a missed... Non-call. And
- 2:29:19Speaker 2: then apparently there was also like a missed targeting call
- 2:29:22Speaker 2: where they basically... head-butted the guy and knocked him out.
- 2:29:26Speaker 2: And then they didn't call it.
- 2:29:27Speaker 1: There was an interception that took place that was called
- 2:29:30Speaker 1: the interception in the field.
- 2:29:30Speaker 2: They reviewed it.
- 2:29:32Speaker 1: Everyone was like, doesn't seem like enough. And they still
- 2:29:34Speaker 1: overturned it in.
- 2:29:34Speaker 2: Favor of Georgia.
- 2:29:36Speaker 1: Georgia had a non-DPI call take place, defensive pass interference.
- 2:29:41Speaker 1: There are several things that happened in that game.
- 2:29:43Speaker 2: And I don't know why they're doing it. I don't
- 2:29:45Speaker 2: think that they, you know, they just love Georgia and
- 2:29:48Speaker 2: they're like, well, we got to sway it for Georgia.
- 2:29:50Speaker 2: I mean, that's always the thing, right? There's all the
- 2:29:52Speaker 2: memes of, I can't even think of his name, but
- 2:29:55Speaker 2: the coach of Georgia handing- Kirby Smart. Kirby Smart handing
- 2:29:59Speaker 2: money to the referee. I don't think it's like that. No.
- 2:30:02Speaker 2: But something's happening. Something's up. I think Kirby Smart's happy
- 2:30:06Speaker 2: to win the game, but I got to think if
- 2:30:08Speaker 2: you just are competitive, you want to win the right way. Yeah.
- 2:30:13Speaker 2: You want to know that your team was the best-
- 2:30:17Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure you'll take the win no matter what.
- 2:30:19Speaker 1: Always take the win. Never apologize for winning.
- 2:30:21Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Sean, did you have something? What'd you have? Yeah,
- 2:30:24Speaker 2: I just wanted to ask Dusty, who is the guy
- 2:30:28Speaker 2: at the top? Who's all behind him? I have no idea. Actually,
- 2:30:31Speaker 2: to double up on that question. Well, God's at the top, but. True.
- 2:30:35Speaker 4: If you, if.
- 2:30:36Speaker 1: Somebody was like, all right, Dusty, you've been onto us
- 2:30:39Speaker 1: long enough. We will give you all the answers you want.
- 2:30:41Speaker 1: Come with us and we'll show you. Would you want
- 2:30:43Speaker 1: to know all the answers?
- 2:30:44Speaker 2: No, I'd go. I'll just stop talking about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 2:30:47Speaker 2: This let me live on my land. Can I buy
- 2:30:49Speaker 2: the town that I want to buy? Yeah, exactly. I don't, yeah,
- 2:30:51Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I'm not trying to, you know,
- 2:30:54Speaker 2: do anything, but enjoy myself and, you know, use my
- 2:30:57Speaker 2: observational abilities to go, this seems weird, huh?
- 2:31:01Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:31:01Speaker 2: And then talk about it with my friends. You like
- 2:31:03Speaker 2: the curiosity more than the answer. Yeah, I mean, I don't.
- 2:31:06Speaker 2: That is the best way to be. And also what,
- 2:31:08Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, I mean, what's the answer going to
- 2:31:10Speaker 2: get you? If I knew the guy, whoever it would be,
- 2:31:14Speaker 2: whoever they is, yeah, I mean, I wouldn't want to
- 2:31:18Speaker 2: be like, yeah, I know the most powerful guy ruining
- 2:31:22Speaker 2: the world. Here, this is his name. Because no one
- 2:31:26Speaker 2: would believe me. And then I would get killed. And
- 2:31:29Speaker 2: then they would say it's suicide. And then they would go,
- 2:31:32Speaker 2: I had no idea Dusty had mental illness. And then
- 2:31:35Speaker 2: you guys would all go on Twitter and go, hey,
- 2:31:37Speaker 2: talk to your friends about mental illness. You never know. Damn, man.
- 2:31:49Speaker 2: I hope you live for the next year. I mean,
- 2:31:52Speaker 2: he was such a good soul when he was on
- 2:31:54Speaker 2: the bus. You know, but I, you know, I just
- 2:31:56Speaker 2: want people, I do want people to have good lives and,
- 2:31:58Speaker 2: you know, just, you know, not have all their money
- 2:32:01Speaker 2: taken from them and taxes and, you know, just be
- 2:32:04Speaker 2: able to enjoy themselves. Yeah. Like be able to get
- 2:32:07Speaker 2: somewhere in any city without sitting in hours of traffic,
- 2:32:12Speaker 2: you know, like what, what is that? Everywhere you go,
- 2:32:16Speaker 2: the road is never big enough. I was driving from
- 2:32:20Speaker 2: Phoenix to Tucson and Saturday and it's a two lane
- 2:32:24Speaker 2: road and we're all jammed in there together. And we're
- 2:32:26Speaker 2: all just trying to get, and suddenly it went to
- 2:32:28Speaker 2: four lanes and I just watched everyone spread out and
- 2:32:32Speaker 2: go the same speed. I go, we're in the same situation. Right.
- 2:32:37Speaker 2: Just more lanes. Yeah. What happened? Some people think there,
- 2:32:41Speaker 2: there are, there are traffic agents out there just to
- 2:32:45Speaker 2: keep us all frustrated. Do some people really think that?
- 2:32:47Speaker 2: Some people do think that. I don't know if I do, but.
- 2:32:50Speaker 2: You're open to it though. I'm open to it that
- 2:32:52Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, I mean, let's keep them down. Keep
- 2:32:54Speaker 2: them sad. Keep them away from their families. Keep them
- 2:32:58Speaker 2: away from their families. Keep them working hard. God, man.
- 2:33:02Speaker 2: You know, but it just seems like, you know, uh,
- 2:33:06Speaker 2: In Nashville, it's like there's traffic everywhere. That one– like
- 2:33:10Speaker 2: I live in Hermitage.
- 2:33:11Speaker 1: Nashville is a horrible example though because the highway system
- 2:33:14Speaker 1: is just horrendous. It is.
- 2:33:16Speaker 2: It is. It is awful. But like coming from say
- 2:33:18Speaker 2: the airport to Brentwood, I don't know. Where we're at
- 2:33:25Speaker 2: even now, I have to go through this way. But
- 2:33:26Speaker 2: it's like you have to– I don't know. I don't
- 2:33:29Speaker 2: know the interstates. But you take that left– And then
- 2:33:32Speaker 2: you have to stay in the right lane in order
- 2:33:34Speaker 2: to go. But it's like all the cars are trying
- 2:33:36Speaker 2: to cross each other and everybody's backed up. And it's
- 2:33:39Speaker 2: just like, is there not a better way? And why
- 2:33:42Speaker 2: are they not in the middle of building that better way? True.
- 2:33:46Speaker 2: You know? True. Maybe this is the plot of Landy's show.
- 2:33:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm thinking of that highway where it's like between
- 2:33:51Speaker 4: the city and Wedgwood, Houston. You know, it's like where
- 2:33:54Speaker 4: you're trying to merge or, you know.
- 2:33:56Speaker 1: Every time you get to Wedgwood, it just all of
- 2:33:57Speaker 1: a sudden completely stops.
- 2:33:58Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:33:59Speaker 1: Then you're right when you're like right up on. Where
- 2:34:01Speaker 1: the city starts. It's like multiple ways going this way.
- 2:34:04Speaker 1: But when you take a right is if you were
- 2:34:05Speaker 1: going to the airport, that merge on there is like
- 2:34:08Speaker 1: 200 yards before it gets off to the next lane.
- 2:34:11Speaker 2: Or next exit. And why is that not what the
- 2:34:14Speaker 2: mayor's doing right now? Who is the mayor of Nashville? Freddie.
- 2:34:18Speaker 2: Freddie O'Connell. Oh, Jack doesn't like Freddie. Jackal Freddie Fraud.
- 2:34:23Speaker 2: Jack doesn't like Freddie. I'm not, I'm not, uh. Well-versed
- 2:34:26Speaker 2: in who our mayor is. I thought you'd do a
- 2:34:28Speaker 2: better job of that. And I don't know what all the,
- 2:34:29Speaker 2: you know, I don't know what the mayor has to
- 2:34:31Speaker 2: deal with. Oh, this guy looks trustworthy. I don't know
- 2:34:35Speaker 2: what the mayor has to deal with, right? But it's
- 2:34:37Speaker 2: like when we had that ice storm, he was pretty absent.
- 2:34:41Speaker 2: And I had a buddy that was without power for
- 2:34:43Speaker 2: eight days. Dude, I was up for nine. Not to
- 2:34:45Speaker 2: be in competition. I was up for nine. And it's like, why?
- 2:34:48Speaker 2: I think 11.
- 2:34:49Speaker 1: 11?
- 2:34:49Speaker 2: No shit. I think so. It's like, where was it? Where,
- 2:34:54Speaker 2: where was the mayor? Like, Hey, I don't feel like
- 2:34:56Speaker 2: he was ever on TV going, Hey guys, I'm really
- 2:34:59Speaker 2: sorry about this.
- 2:35:00Speaker 3: He was doing photo ops down in Brentwood.
- 2:35:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:35:02Speaker 3: In the nice area.
- 2:35:03Speaker 2: There was. Okay. All right.
- 2:35:05Speaker 3: I was hating on him.
- 2:35:06Speaker 1: There was a bunch of people coming out to him
- 2:35:08Speaker 1: saying that they like cut the budget of like trimming
- 2:35:10Speaker 1: the trees back on the power lines of like $ 7
- 2:35:13Speaker 1: million because they wanted to keep the canopy. There's always
- 2:35:16Speaker 1: this canopy talk. I really never followed it too well.
- 2:35:19Speaker 1: But a lot of people were in uproar about that
- 2:35:20Speaker 1: when the.
- 2:35:21Speaker 2: Ice storm came through. But it's like, all right, you
- 2:35:22Speaker 2: cut that budget. Let's bury the power lines now. It's
- 2:35:26Speaker 2: all rock. Can't do it. I don't know. It does
- 2:35:29Speaker 2: look ridiculous. I say let's do it.
- 2:35:30Speaker 4: You're just driving and you're just seeing all the power
- 2:35:31Speaker 4: lines with trees all over them, basically. When you're in Arizona,
- 2:35:34Speaker 4: all the power lines are underground. How much nicer does
- 2:35:36Speaker 4: it look?
- 2:35:37Speaker 2: It looks so much better. So much cleaner. Every time,
- 2:35:39Speaker 2: I mean, my old neighborhood, all the power lines were buried.
- 2:35:42Speaker 2: It's like, I think it can be done. They love
- 2:35:45Speaker 2: to go, yeah, but it's hard. And you go, well.
- 2:35:48Speaker 2: You got to do it. Sometimes you got to do
- 2:35:50Speaker 2: hard stuff. That's hard. And I mean, the housing.
- 2:35:57Speaker 3: Developers do it.
- 2:35:57Speaker 2: So we don't like this Freddie guy? We're not a
- 2:35:58Speaker 2: fan of the Freddie guy? Allegedly. We hear Freddie the
- 2:36:02Speaker 2: fraud was- I know nothing about him politically. I met
- 2:36:04Speaker 2: Freddie one time. He was a nice guy to me.
- 2:36:06Speaker 2: They always are. They always are. But I don't know
- 2:36:11Speaker 2: that he's doing a good job. All right. Fair enough.
- 2:36:15Speaker 1: If you saw Freddie next weekend- And he was like,
- 2:36:18Speaker 1: so the pod, would you backtrack?
- 2:36:22Speaker 2: Uh, Well, I think I did a good job of
- 2:36:24Speaker 2: backtracking here on the podcast. So I would just say, uh, listen,
- 2:36:29Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I don't know who knows what
- 2:36:30Speaker 2: I would say. His bodyguards are there and I, maybe
- 2:36:33Speaker 2: I go, Hey, you're the best, but, uh, yeah, but
- 2:36:37Speaker 2: who knows? But I, you know, I'd like to say,
- 2:36:39Speaker 2: I don't know what all your job entails, but there
- 2:36:42Speaker 2: are some things that I think we could work on
- 2:36:44Speaker 2: that you never address. And I don't think you do
- 2:36:46Speaker 2: a good job of speaking to the people and you're
- 2:36:49Speaker 2: not active on Twitter. I've tagged you. And you don't
- 2:36:54Speaker 2: answer me. I've tagged you. I've tagged you. I asked
- 2:37:01Speaker 2: you some questions during the ice storm and you didn't
- 2:37:04Speaker 2: answer me.
- 2:37:05Speaker 1: Yeah, the ice storm was crazy. And apparently there's supposed
- 2:37:08Speaker 1: to be another insane storm this winter that they're already
- 2:37:10Speaker 1: calling for.
- 2:37:11Speaker 2: Super El Nino. Super El Nino.
- 2:37:13Speaker 1: I feel like they say it's every eight years. It
- 2:37:15Speaker 1: feels like every year we're getting an El Nino or
- 2:37:17Speaker 1: some sort of Nino. That's how it feels about eclipses.
- 2:37:19Speaker 1: They're like once in a lifetime eclipse.
- 2:37:21Speaker 2: And then it's like every other year. I'm with you
- 2:37:23Speaker 2: on that. That is so real.
- 2:37:25Speaker 1: Because it will be like, hey, outside tonight, March 15th,
- 2:37:29Speaker 1: the first time you're in the see Mercury in retrograde
- 2:37:31Speaker 1: with Saturn right next to it. And you're like, oh
- 2:37:33Speaker 1: my God. Yeah, we're going to get this done. But
- 2:37:34Speaker 1: then two weeks later, something else.
- 2:37:35Speaker 2: Yeah. But you know, with politicians, Bill Hicks had a
- 2:37:39Speaker 2: joke back in the day where he's like, you know,
- 2:37:41Speaker 2: I think with the presidents, they, you know, you get
- 2:37:44Speaker 2: sworn in and then they take you in the back
- 2:37:45Speaker 2: room and they show you the, another angle of the
- 2:37:47Speaker 2: Kennedy assassination and they go, we do, you know, Do
- 2:37:50Speaker 2: what we want you to do. And I wonder if
- 2:37:52Speaker 2: that's how it is with all these guys. They go in,
- 2:37:54Speaker 2: they go, I got great hopes. I want to change everything.
- 2:37:57Speaker 2: And then you win and they go, hey, this is
- 2:37:59Speaker 2: how it really works. Yeah. Okay.
- 2:38:02Speaker 1: Do you think it's as low of a level as,
- 2:38:03Speaker 1: no disrespect to the mayor.
- 2:38:05Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:38:05Speaker 1: But like, do you think mayor gets that stern talking to?
- 2:38:07Speaker 2: I don't know. But I feel like. You got to
- 2:38:09Speaker 2: get to Congress or Senate, whichever one's bigger.
- 2:38:11Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:38:11Speaker 2: I mean, probably.
- 2:38:12Speaker 4: But either way, if you, even if you're the mayor,
- 2:38:14Speaker 4: like any of these positions. You want to remain in
- 2:38:18Speaker 4: your power, whatever it is.
- 2:38:19Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 2:38:19Speaker 4: There's so many big dogs over you. Like you're going
- 2:38:21Speaker 4: to play ball however you need to play ball to
- 2:38:23Speaker 4: keep your seat at the table.
- 2:38:24Speaker 2: I can see that. I saw a thing in India.
- 2:38:27Speaker 2: This guy was talking about India and he says the
- 2:38:29Speaker 2: reason they have all these problems with trash and stuff
- 2:38:32Speaker 2: in India is that they have such diversity of like
- 2:38:36Speaker 2: religions and things like that, that everybody is voting for
- 2:38:40Speaker 2: their own candidate. So if you come in and you're like,
- 2:38:43Speaker 2: I'm going to clean this up. but there's a certain
- 2:38:47Speaker 2: group that doesn't want you to, then they won't vote
- 2:38:49Speaker 2: for you. And then, so you'll lose your position. So,
- 2:38:52Speaker 2: you know, they have too many, they're playing like, what
- 2:38:55Speaker 2: do they call it? What do they call politics where
- 2:38:58Speaker 2: they're playing to certain, what do they call it? Like
- 2:39:02Speaker 2: play to that. You just play into certain, you just
- 2:39:05Speaker 2: play into groups. You're always just playing to groups rather
- 2:39:07Speaker 2: than an overall collective good. I don't know. There's a
- 2:39:12Speaker 2: word for it, but. Uh, yeah, I mean, India, a
- 2:39:15Speaker 2: lot of parts of India are in a bad shape
- 2:39:17Speaker 2: and it's because they say, well, we can't, no matter
- 2:39:21Speaker 2: what we do, they're like, if you clean this up,
- 2:39:23Speaker 2: we're not going to vote for you. And I don't
- 2:39:26Speaker 2: know why that would be, but this is, you know,
- 2:39:28Speaker 2: just a random YouTube video I watched. It's what we
- 2:39:30Speaker 2: were told. Those will get you, huh?
- 2:39:31Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:39:32Speaker 2: You watch loose change. I have watched Loose Change. What
- 2:39:34Speaker 2: did that change your mind at all? I feel like that,
- 2:39:36Speaker 2: you know. I have to piss, boys. Yeah, I feel
- 2:39:38Speaker 2: like this, yeah, I gotta pee too.
- 2:39:39Speaker 1: That's a good way to end it, huh?
- 2:39:42Speaker 2: You're right. But I have seen Loose Change and that
- 2:39:44Speaker 2: was kind of wild to see.
- 2:39:45Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:39:46Speaker 2: All right. Hey, Dusty, we appreciate you coming on, man.
- 2:39:49Speaker 2: Thank you for taking the time. This was great.
- 2:39:50Speaker 1: We know you hate people. You want to be in
- 2:39:51Speaker 1: a commune all by yourself. For you to come out
- 2:39:53Speaker 1: of that commune and spend time with us means a.
- 2:39:56Speaker 4: Lot, brother.
- 2:39:56Speaker 2: No, I appreciate you guys and I appreciate you, I mean, listen,
- 2:39:59Speaker 2: airing that Shane Gillis clip saying that, uh, that he
- 2:40:04Speaker 2: met Christian Bale and he was excited to meet me.
- 2:40:06Speaker 2: It was big for me. But I appreciate you guys.
- 2:40:08Speaker 2: I appreciate you having me. I know you guys have
