[Assistant] Now there was a TV show about storm chasing and during it, it showed them like how they all lived. They would stay in these hotels and they'd get up every day and go chase tornadoes. And they, it was on Discovery. It was awesome. And during it, they were filming, they were trying to film this 3D


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they had a car that they're trying to basically get in a tornado and then film this IMAX version of this tornado. And so one guy that was a part of the storm chasers was with them being like, Hey, we're trying to shoot this as a movie. Can we go with you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so they made a car, the guy had a car that was designed to like, when the tornado is over it, it goes down to the ground. It was almost like you could get no wind under it to lift it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, the movies played at, uh, the Huntsville, at the Space Center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd see it like at a science museum or something like that. And I went and saw it. It was fun to watch it and then go, oh, this is the movie that they were trying to make. And I watched the show. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's, so you have to get certified. I would, I would love it. You wouldn't want to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, see a real tornado man, that would just would be like insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's kind of what the title is, is you chase the story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you're trying to, you're, you don't go away. And now if it comes after you, you're gonna move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some are doing it, like you know, the movie Twister, where they're trying to get something taken up in the... But I mean, there's people that are trying to, I think, get that close just to understand a tornado.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you see them, it's always like most cars going this way and then one car going towards it. Yeah. And they're, and they're trying to get near it. And so they, they see a tornado, they're trying to go to the tornado. Justin Smith, who I was with, uh, who was with me on the one night only tour, he lives in Oklahoma. And so we were there when the tornado came. Uh, and I know I say tornado.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I know you're going to say Wenda. Colorado. This Colorado. Yellow. That was a beta. Colorado. Yeah. Uh, so, but he, so Tornado, so he goes Tornado, uh, or Tornada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This Nader came over to, uh, so we, we went, it was the big one that they had that like wrecked that town. And so I was there. I was at a comedy club there and, uh, side splitters, I think, or I don't forget they have there, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was there and the day before they had a tourney to go through one of the towns. I want to say Norman, maybe we're Oklahoma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forget now, the, the, where I was listening to the news and they were just talking to someone, I forget what it was. It was very funny how just the news covering of it, I was taking it personal. I think it was like very, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, do you see it? He's like, yeah, it's real over. He's like, all right, just do these. Like, all right. Well, I'm see. Okay. I guess I see it, but I guess you don't want to talk to me. Like would say stuff like that. Like they'd go, all right, we're going to come back to you. All right. Yeah. I'm the one out here. Uh, but yeah, go do whatever you want to go do. I mean, I'm the one that is seeing all of it would always like kind of say stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right before they go off the air. And you're like, and she's really making it about this. He's like, all right, thanks Samantha. We're going to be back to you probably later. He's like, probably. I mean, I'm the main person here. I don't see. Okay. All right. And then it just would cut off to the next thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we went and watched it, and then I flew out that next morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remember how to fly out early. I don't ever fly out early. I'm usually like a, I try to be like a 10 AM to noon flight guy. And, uh, I had, I left at like, I didn't, I didn't go to sleep. I just went to the airport and left at five 30. And, uh, that big one came through that day. I would have never got out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I like, you know, I'm not saying I would have died, but it would have been, I would have been stuck. I mean, that came through. It was, it was one of the worst, you know. Wow. But you have the, the one, the big one here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, there was one this year, but then the one in, uh, there was one at night. That's the craziest one. We had one come through Williamson County at night, you know, and a lady died. That, those are, that's the scariest thing on earth. Cause you don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see. Breakfast is like the MLB. He doesn't want his own footage. Why is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like the, that's like the tornado. You're tracking it by the explosions. So you don't know where it's at until you see an explosion and the explosions happen because of it. A tornado at night is, you don't even think about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I shot myself. Was that, did it show the tornadoes? I saw the explosions. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are they destroying everything? Yeah. In the path? Was that the rest of it? The one that you're so mad at me for not watching the end of it? Is that what I missed? This is so funny. Like I have a first time experience of you just moved on, just kept talking about other stuff. No, no, I talked about it. We watched 20 seconds of it. Then it was just wind noise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's people that can't see this video at home. I don't know if y'all know how a podcast works, but people are not watching this. They're not all in this room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mean you could have stopped this dude? You could have stopped it by rolling the windows up? And you didn't?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've had it with my high school, Donaldson Christian Academy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has been hit with a flood and a tornado. So the last one that came through this year just ripped my high school up. Just ripped it up bad. And we're trying to do a show for them and then COVID happened, they just really got dealt a bad hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I know everybody's still there. And so it was brutal when I drove over there and if you go through, you know, I almost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took, uh, my daughter and it's almost like not a bad, you know, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's all a bad thing, but like for a kid to see, I don't know, maybe you could go do it different ways, but I think it's like good for them to see it. Right. You know, just to be like, look, this is serious. You know, look, these people, which we noticed is it's always the, in the bathroom, the middle of the house is always up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In most places. It's kinda crazy to think like, like you see a bathtub, and then maybe the wall's in the middle. And these houses are level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we had, I remember the, so the one that came through Nashville my senior year in high school, 97. And, right? 97. 98. 98. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been right in the middle of volunteer state community college, getting no credits, taking speech. And we, I remember, I had to go pick up, we had one that came, it came, it came down, uh, God, we've had a bunch of them. I actually remember another time, one came down our street, an old house we used to live on. But this one was a huge one that came through Nashville.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm joking. If there's a video of that, show that video. Uh, they, maybe it won't be at night. This one was during the day. But so, I remember watching this one, so I was in 1998. And I remember my, it came through, uh, Old Hickory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always think Andrew Jackson's house, the Hermitage, all these trees used to not be able to see the house from the road because there's so many trees and now you can see the house. And I always thought that was like, that's so crazy. It took that many trees out. And, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, I remember my mom called me and was like, go get, I went and picked my sister up. She was in elementary school and I went and picked her up. And then my aunt, I think was at our house, maybe, I don't remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, it was me, my brother, and uh, my sister, and I went out back and was filming. Trying to see if I would get anything when it was like happening. And I mean nothing, nothing came directly over near us to really see it. But you were at Channel 5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I've never seen this on the news. Uh, if you're watching this, we'll post again, we'll post some of this stuff in the Instagram stories or any, uh, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right through downtown. Wow. That one was crazy. That girl's trying to open the door and they can't get it open for her and the train is coming down the street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were there. You were in that building. Yep. And was it just like a train?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, uh, when you're, you know, when you're, that kind of stuff, it's so helpless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just something coming through. That's what's so crazy. It's such a, there's nothing you can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything that, you know, obviously a robbery, like, I don't know, there's just stuff, you can stop it. There's things to stop. Fire, you can put, you know, I mean, there's nothing to do with a fire as it's roaring, but there's at least hope, like there's something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A tornado, for some reason, like, earthquake feels the same way. When you feel an earthquake, the whole earthquake was the most helpless I've ever felt because it's everywhere. You can't run from it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't not, you know, you step here, it's there. You could run half a mile during an earthquake, you go fill up that whole half, like that's- Was this when you lived in LA? Yeah, when we went to LA. We felt one in New York too, in New York when it happened. Laura was working in one of the big buildings and she felt it. But the one in earthquake, the first one I ever felt was wow, man. I mean, it was unbelievable. It's, uh, filling an earthquake. There's, you know, people in California don't even think about them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, uh, yeah, these tornadoes, uh, the craziest ones, uh, where's the one in Missouri? It's the biggest one. Yeah, Joplin. Joplin. Joplin goes through, I mean, this thing is enormous. It's, uh, you know, I think it's like a quarter of a mile. That, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's the big, it's a E5, is that what they say E5? EF5 tornado. And I mean, it's just like, it's so big that it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that's not it. Keep, just scroll through it real fast and see if you just see. It's so big that it just looks like dark clouds. Like that's how big it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't do anything about it. There's nothing you can do. It's so crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Them coming in, they're slow too, like you see them and you're like, here it comes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can leave three weeks before you say it gets here. I have a joke about that. It's got a heads up notice of, Hey guys, there's a 20 that's out in the ocean bothering nobody. We think it's going to come here in about a month. If you guys could, you gather your stuff. Some of you could probably sell your home. You have enough time to sell your home. That's my joke. Is it what you say? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if you go down there and stand in the, in the field of winds, I think it's, it, it does, it's relentless, the hurricane. But again, you're putting yourself in it. So that's why the fear of it. I don't understand. Tornado just happens. It's there. It's on top of you. So, you know, but hurricane, you have to go put, you can avoid a hurricane for the rest of your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I know. Yes, the odds of, but your odds are just, your odds of a hurricane is zero. As long as you don't go dry near it. But a tornado, you're always walking around with the odds of a tornado can happen. It's just on the table. Tornadoes can happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they have them so. I think everybody's got something. That's what's crazy. Everybody gets something. I don't think like California gets tornadoes, I do think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't think so. Do Californians get tornadoes? Look and see if California gets a tornado. West of the Rockies. I don't think West of the Rockies. Uh, but they get earthquakes. Yeah. That's crazy. Everybody gets a thing. I think New York had a tornado.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, California, what, what does it say about Kansas? Average 62. 96, Kansas. 96, that's so many, but I guess that's all different sizes. Right. Uh. And most of them don't touch the ground. Yeah. Yeah. Most are pretty weak, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most are pretty stupid. That's what I would say. Right, Aaron? I'm trying to put a positive spin on this, dude. No, I'm saying that you're, you're like, you, you don't, you, you don't respect tornadoes. I hope a tornado follows you home tonight. I hope it drives right behind your car. Then I just go, I just go kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hurricanes are, it's, you know, I mean, hurricanes are bad and people stay, but a lot of times when it happens, they either look, they can't move.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, their circumstances, they go tell them, even Katrina, they tried, they were getting everybody out. I'm not saying it tears up a whole town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hurricanes do way more damage. But as far as a human being dying, I mean, a tornado just could pop up on us right now. It could be right behind-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there one right behind me right now? I mean they give you that easy that you just don't look. He's always just looking and coming. They come out of nowhere thinking about the ones at night, dude. It's at night. That one that came through Winston County. I remember we.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, Harbor's asleep, uh, we just went in like the middle closet of the house and, uh, we just kind of sat in there because we didn't know how long it was going to be. And I was watching, it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they, you would see those sparks. Well, those sparks aren't heads up. The sparks is I'm on you. I'm on top of you. So that's, you know, you're seeing the tornado.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say I've never, I don't, uh, I don't know if I've felt one here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] East of the Rockies won't. East of the Rockies. So we're good, East of the Rockies. Yeah. But if you're in it, it's like all of California feels this. Oh yeah, all the West Coast. Yeah, every state, every part, and it just is like, is it one cra- is like just gonna, everything's gonna fall down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that feels like a very loose thing that can. Well, I know. Again, scientists could have just, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what scientists are going to do. You know, I could just go out and be like, you know what, Seattle will become San Diego and San Diego will become Seattle in a thousand years. And you'd be like, ah, that's crazy. Because yeah, I'm a scientist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've studied this. You're like, I don't know how you study that. Did you look it up and stuff? He's like, no, I am the look up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I write is the look up. I'm the source. And then how are we going to, you know, is there any, is he going to get in trouble if that doesn't happen? Making outlandish things. It's a six, it's a, it's a six hour drive. It's going to be right next, right now. San Francisco, the Los Angeles is a six hour drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be next to each other. When? Just long enough that you won't be alive to prove. Like that's, that's always the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A thousand years. That means if you, you could never have your family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I would want to now, I'll tell my daughter to tell her kids to be like, don't stop this chain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I won't be here, none of us will be here, but I want, in a thousand years, I want a Barghetti to find that scientist's family and go, hey, guess what? It's a little bit farther away than it was. You know? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A child could draw that on a map. I could go get a kid and go, just draw me what you think the world looks like now. I'm going to put it on a website next to my doctor name and tell people this is what it's going to look like in four million years. And everybody goes, oh man, we should listen to that guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. I don't know who made this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like the weather, you know, we talk about weather people, they, they always get yelled at, weathermen, uh, they get yelled at because they get weather wrong. But I always think,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At some reason to me, I'm like always, I'm very lenient with that. I don't ever get mad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's like, what do you want them to do, man? They, people get furious and you're like, yeah, dude, I just, it, it, you know, it's a good gauge. Yeah. You're usually going to be happy because it usually means it's supposed to rain all week and it didn't. So you're like, oh, great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, back off these wetter people man, like give them, they're doing what they can. Predicting the future. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, everybody's at the top. We're, so we're living on the North Pole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Africa, still gonna be hot. Can you imagine they go, ah, is it gonna cool down a little bit? You're like, actually, you kind of probably get hotter. And you're like, what dude? Like, I mean, everywhere else is going to be north. Like we're going to be so cold. And Africa's like, you know what? I, I wouldn't hate it. That's what someone says in Africa. I wouldn't hate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what we're, that's what we're guessing. And that's what a scientist would sell Madagascar. He would do a speech about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Drunk homeless guy that just shouts these ideas out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't yell at us about global warming and then this is the deal. This is, you're like, well, what's your answer for it? We're going to dim the sun or whatever it is. It doesn't make, I can't imagine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shooting gases up in the air. Isn't that the main thing? The problem? We got too many gases in the air and they're like, I know, but they're not these gases. Uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, unbelievable. Can you imagine if someone floats that idea at a science table? That just came out. That just came out. 2020. That's not some drunk scientist smoking a cigarette in a lab, you know, where the doctors gave


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, a baby was born with a cigarette in his mouth, like, but there was no rules. That's 2020. That guy's in the middle of a pandemic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, we're just doing knob and just turn it down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who do you think did that? Let's say one of the names is Dr. Khan, the other is Johnny Redd. Sounds like Johnny Redd's idea. You're right. Johnny Redd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say, say, you're unbelievable. Save your work. Sore. Sore, don't ever say something like that ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you doing? What are you out of your mind? Dim the sun. You went to college. I mean like what? They're teaching you stuff. They're teaching stuff. There's not a dimmer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I would imagine if downtown Nashville had hundreds of snakes going through it, we ought to, I don't know, figure something's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we should look into it, maybe go buy some toilet paper at the store, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if I see Holly cowering in the corner one day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what's going to happen. That's what you're saying on the podcast. Where are they going to go though? Is he going to kill everybody? Cause the animals don't know. Should we follow?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soray is going to have about two weeks of being like, told you, told you we can do this. And then it gets real bad. He goes, all right, that was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'd imagine sun's pretty hot. Sun's unbelievably hot. You can't get near it. And you're like, it's five times more. You're like, does it even matter at this point, man? If I can't get to the near, I need to know how much harder than an oven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what they should, I know, but they should do more set. Like they, they give you something that you can't wrap your head around. How many degrees? 54,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See how I'm, I'm just saying use, they use examples that mean nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that you described it better. I would rather hear you on the news go, alright everybody, your oven's at 400 degrees. And you're like, God, that's kind of hot, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hot. You wanna put your hand in there? No, I don't. Now imagine...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 54,000 more than that. And you're like, golly dude, that's so hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I can wrap my head around that versus it's five times the sun and you're like, wow, that's the sun. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 400 degrees, remember how crazy you thought 54,000 was? A little bit less than that. That was in the sun less than that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no way. There's just, that's impossible. That's just impossible. A, I don't even hear crickets all the time. So they're not- You gotta have crickets. Huh? You gotta have the crickets for it to work. Are crickets out now? They're not out in the cold. It's cold. So what do you do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now we got to start over because you just talked and I lost track of the cricket chirps. So if you want to go, maybe don't talk while I try to count these cricket chirps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you just, some guy says that. I don't know if that's true. You know you can't sleep with your feet in socks because they can't breathe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my joke that my dad told me when I was a kid. I don't sleep my socks on my feet. That's not true at all. But that sounds like I could say that you'd be like, wow, your feet can't breathe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The real thing. That's a, that's a number that would be tough to get to. 10 seconds. You'd be like, I have the time for that. 14. You're like, I'm not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you could always be a little bit off, cause if you were 15, you'd be like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, that would be, uh, so 14 and add 40. So you're like, oh, you could just do 10 and add 46. You're like, what are you doing to me? He goes, uh, or just do one second and add 61 next to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on. No, don't start. Alright, I got it again. I gotta bet. I gotta bet. I gotta bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That it was, I thought, I knew that there was the Python problem down there, but I didn't, I thought it was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. That's a good app. That should be in your argument for hurricanes. Yeah. If you want to argue hurricanes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna let you get to this. Uh, they, uh, you're about as on the tip of your tongue as a snake. And they, on the flip side of that is, uh, but that should definitely be in your argument to go, pythons are a problem now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, Hurricane did. Oh, by the weather? You wish. Much worse. You get paid money to catch these snakes. Guys do it. It's like, might be 500 bucks or something. Yea, it's a lot of snake. I mean, guys just go out and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, cause they gotta get em, they gotta get em reigned back. It's too much. They're destroyed. They have no creditor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there how many, like, do we have any live, you know, I don't know, is there, I did a joke about tigers. Is there any tigers in the wild in America that are in the wild?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they would know? Not in America. Oh, that got loose somehow? Yeah, they maybe got loose and then they become...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like there's gotta be any, yeah, any ant like, you know, lion or tiger, is there anything that's not supposed to be here? That's just, if it's not in a zoo or didn't, but like now we just think, like does America,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that was from a zoo. But yea, so there's no like, cause they would have to just, you just gotta tell America, hey America, we live with a tiger now, and we don't know where it's at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well if it's in the wild, if it's missing. Yeah. Usually they find those. Yeah. But I mean, I mean this one would probably have to get like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'd be very, you know, the, that'd be a crazy news thing to hear. My craziest one I remember hearing was in Arizona. Uh, I might have talked to this, I don't know, I talked about a lot of stuff. But they, uh, was when they said, don't go to war as Mexico. It's a lawless place.

[Assistant] Hey man, don't go. They can murder you in the street. It's absolute chaos. And nothing, nothing will happen to you. There's no police there. It's just craziness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean it's up there, it's asking for it. You think it'd be, you think it'd be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's twice a month. I know, but how much lightning is there? I mean, there's 300 earthquakes in Tennessee that I've never felt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would think that the, like, the Empire Stippling is getting struck more than 25 times. That's not that many.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would think in a night, if you told me you think if you heard his 25 times a night, you would be like, Oh, I believe that you're in a thunderstorm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now we're listening to, I mean, that should be the, that should be out the gate. I would enjoy the information more if I had been told this is my neighbor. Who said this? My neighbor. There's, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, still an almanac. Uh, I think, uh, I don't even know what y'all, both were talking about right there. At all. Have you ever heard of Ben Franklin? Poor Richards, I thought was a bar. Isn't that a bar in something? That's the bar, that's the bar in the office. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I talked about Sundog, cause they just saw a UFO. Yes, no. Oh, what? You don't know what Sundog is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this sundog, obviously, and then this UFO comes at it and then no one brought it. I was like, well, what's a sundog, man? Like, let's back up a little bit. Yeah, that's just, and it was square. It's, yeah, it makes for the sun. It's not as, you know, UFO spotted during sun, sunset. All right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Uh, alright, we're about to be, this is where we, is that all the weather stuff? Weather, there's probably a ton more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there any other fun, like something crazy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seattle was more of a Russia thing. Go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and it's just when it exploded, and then everybody, I don't know why, I feel like I should have heard about this before. Well, that was a long time ago. I know, but it says, I can't imagine anything that the whole world could hear. Anybody sitting there like, what was that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or they just kept going? Yeah, that's what I mean. Is it like, it just registered the sound? Or am I watching TV and I just hear, boop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're like, what was that? Did you hear something? Did you hear something? He moved the TV. Oh, that was Krakatua in Indonesia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then everybody just went back about their day. They didn't go, well, that's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you were near it, if you were near it, you could, it would just almost kill you. Would the sound just kill you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because that means like, you just go when it happens. When it explodes, you're like, it's over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, what are you going to die a year after it happens slowly or just get, get up in it. And then just when it happens, you're, you don't even know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if you don't donate to Wikipedia. That's right. Hello, here at Wikipedia, we're the only things keeping Yellowstone crack attack from cracking again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did they call it crack attack after it cracked the loudest? Is that what the name? Crackatoa. Well, crackatoa. It's where swords is from. Crack attack would be a better. Crack attack. Yea, it was attack of cracking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Krakatoa, you know, when did they call it? Did they call that after it? It made a loud cracking sound? What are the odds? The loudest sound ever from something is called crack attack. Krakatoa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How would they know how loud it was? Like in decibels? Well, when you're 100 years ago and no one can look anything up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. I think we did it. We might be back at a weather one again. We won't do a part two, but we might. We'll be able to throw weather. Weather's pretty fun. It's a lot of fun stuff. Alright everybody, if you're listening to this, thank you so much as always. We love you guys very much. Leave your comments, uh, everything.

[Assistant] Have you ever gotten invited to be a guest with someone, but then they play really slow, so you feel awkward because you're holding people up, but you're the guest of the guys that you're playing with?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wikipedia, who can you trust? What stands out there to me is he's been told that since elementary school. Wikipedia wasn't even a thing. I was in my thirties before Wikipedia even became a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had the one about your friend Kevin lives in Florida. Or not, not a Cap friend, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. I think so. Good. Well, we'll see an hour, an hour for now. We'll check back in with you and see how you're feeling. So today we're talking about the Renaissance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I told you that, cause you asked me the other day, what comes after that, and I read one place, The Enlightenment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then I read, most places I read just says the Renaissance led up to modern, the modern age. I think you can break it down in different ways. What's before the middle ages? Was the Roman, when the Rome ruled the world. I don't know what they called that, but the Roman Empire. Yeah, so we should do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Renaissance. Renaissance is not up there. Yeah, see, that's the thing. Every chart you look at has different, different listings. That is, I mean, list.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Renaissance. See, look at me using Wikipedia. It's under early modern period. It talks about the Renaissance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what, what is the years of this? So this is basically the 14th century to the 17th century, roughly, but it's mostly the 1500s, 1600s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is basically, so we're leaving the middle ages were the dark ages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was your time to shine. There's no charts, there's no graphs. Science was kind of looked down on. And now we're transitioning to the Renaissance where air didn't shine. This is black science and philosophy and learning, education.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Renaissance means rebirth. It's kind of like when we get back to learning and education, things like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what do we say, 14th century? 14th century to the 17th century, roughly, so that's the 1300s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it comes after the fact. Uhm, but I mean, so many of the famous people which we'll get into throughout history all lived in this same short period of time, very close to each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of them knew each other. We're getting into some of these people. So there was this movement called humanism, which is basically where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a cultural movement where people started talking about not just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You mean the biggest Christian? Yea. I mean, there's more Muslims than Catholics, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this is when the Protestant Reformation started. We talked about this once before. This is where the Baptist and everybody else started springing up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The printing press, we talked about that in the inventions. Now everybody can read and get books on their own. And so ideas just started going crazy and people started living it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, maybe the most fam- Like this is when reading started happening? Well, more for yourself. Most people, you know, couldn't read and like, I think, uh, bishops and monks would read to people. I'm looking at you like you know, but- Yeah, well that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Or you could at least spread information and like, you couldn't just squelch it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, the most, probably the biggest thing you think about from Renaissance is art. Can you name a famous painting? Uh, Mona Lisa? Yeah. It's from the Renaissance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Leonardo da Vinci, uhm, was maybe the most famous painter of the time. He painted the Mona Lisa. He painted the Last Supper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world, according to Wikipedia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well the Mona Lisa, that's one reason why it said it became so famous. Cause I mean, if you guys, I know nothing about art, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always wonder why is it so famous? I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't do that, but. Cause they tell you it's famous? Well, it just has such a history. There's so much history behind it. So it's a picture of a George Washington was a woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think she's dead now, but I don't know. I didn't look that up. Uhm, but King Francis, uh, had it in his house. I think Napoleon had it at one time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it went in the Louvre, um, it's the highest known insurance valuation in history. In 1962, it was insured for a hundred million dollars, which is about a billion dollars today. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In your house, in your apartment. And we talked about on a previous episode, it got stolen once from the roof and guy like just put it underneath his jacket or something and snuck out with it. Yeah, now you can't get near it. No, it's in behind bulletproof glass now. Yeah. And, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That guy, there's a couple of stories. He says that someone got him to steal it for that, for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I guess that person was going to pay him, but then that guy disappeared. And then that guy, he says, sold six fake Mona Lisa's around town that everyone believed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's what happened. This guy hit, hit it for like three years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to the Pablo Picasso exhibit at the Frist Museum in Nashville and I just don't understand art at all. I mean some of it just look like a kid doodling and it's worth millions of dollars and I just, I don't understand it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People interpret her smile different ways. It's almost like the, the dress, uh, what was it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People see it different ways and hear different words. Some people see that as a smile. Some people, they said, see it as, um, she's smarking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's another thing. She has no eyebrows and no eyelashes. Oh yeah. Well, cause she had to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing, it's just her husband, they think her husband just hired Leonardo da Vinci to paint her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The smile though, people see it different ways. It used to be the rumor was her eyes would follow you anywhere around the room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't think that's where she was. I think that's just what he chose to paint in the background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in December 2010, an Italian art historian said that you could see tiny letters and numbers in her eyes, which he said, well, if you magnify it, which was some type of hidden secret, he said, but, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Art historians disagree with that. He's like, no, there's nothing there. It's just some cracks and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The part I do remember is what I talk about next is The Last Supper. That was the other DaVinci's big painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because that's supposed to have some hidden stuff in it. Or some people think it does. Art historians don't really think of it. So Last Supper!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The painting is supposed to show Jesus right when he tells his apostles that one of them is going to portray him. And just any will do, Aaron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this is Jesus telling us-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was being sarcastic as he tried a hundred that look- Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so twelve apostles, he breaks it down in groups of three. You see, they all have different expressions. And so people have interpreted what it means. Let's go left or right. Uh, so those three guys, that's Bartholomew, James, and Anthony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they're all surprised, I think that's pretty obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't hear down here, he's leaning in like, what'd he say? What'd he say? What's that? What's going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, James, son of Alpheus and Andrew there with his hands up. Is that what's on his middle finger there? Uh, oh, that's the cursor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next three guys, these are Judas, Peter, and John.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Money got paid, he knocked over the salt, that's bad luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, see Peter, Peter there in the middle, he has an expression of anger on his face and he's holding a knife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, maybe that's what Peter's saying. He's like, I know you're a woman. All right. Then you got Jesus there. Now on the other side, you've got Thomas, James, son of Zebedee and Philip. Thomas is clearly upset. Phil, calm down. And then they call him Phil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jimbo, Jimbo, get in here. Uh, Thomas is upset. He's raising his finger up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they're all upset because he just told them that one of them, you was going to portray me. They're all like, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, the last three guys, Matthew, Jude, and Simon, uh, both Jude and Matthew are turned towards Simon, trying to ask him like, what's going on here? Why is he saying that? Yeah, like what's up with this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a good, good question. Most painters, a lot of painters had done the Last Supper, but they, uh, made them around a table. He purposely put them all on the same side so you could see their faces and their expressions. Which was, that was, that was a sport. Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other thing he did differently than other Last Supper paintings is he put no halos on any one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this painting, the Mona Lisa is in the Louvre in Paris. This is in, in a, was painted on a wall in a church monastery in Milan, Italy. It's still there. Oh, really? It's on the wall? You can go see it? This is on the wall? I think they said most of it has,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Decade over time, I think they fill it in themselves, repainting it. But, but yeah, buy tickets to go see it. I think you gotta see it way in advance. Or get tickets way in advance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Leonardo, he was killing it for a long time. Then the new hotshot young painter comes on Michelangelo. Oh, here we go. Now he's got a rival. He's got nunchucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Michelangelo, uhm, he did the Statue of David, it's one of the most famous statues, and he painted the Sistine Chapel, the roof of the, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he becomes the new hot, hot guy in the scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the church even hired them to both paint on the same wall, their own little thing, and they got into it like they hate each other. Da Vinci was in his early 50s, close to my age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michaelangelo was 29, Aaron's age. So now he's the hot guy on the scene and Da Vinci didn't like it because he'd always been the guy. But this young guy shows up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael Angel was ca- he called him out, made fun of him once, cause Da Vinci like, did a horse head sculpture and didn't finish the head, and he's like, how's that horse? They ran into him in the street, and heckled him about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so Michelangelo painted the seal of the Sistine Chapel. Have you, uh, have you been there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adam touching fingers with God, but the whole thing is just like, wow, this is pretty crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had always heard, always thought that Michelangelo laid on his back and did this. Have you ever heard that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They built like things for him to stand on and he just did this for four years. Four years. He wrote a poem about how his neck hurt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So later they figured out that that gods thing right there, that's the shape of the human brain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like his feet are like the stem of the brain. Oh wow. And they don't think that's by chance. They think he did that, uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1960s, uh, Pope Pius IV, I'm sorry, not 1960s, 1560s. They eventually painted, repainted them again and took the clothes off of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I forgot to mention too in the last supper that DaVinci, you'll appreciate this. He's a delicate genius. Someone complained about how slow he was going. So he's like, I'm going to put Judas's, that guy's face on Judas. Oh really? Yeah. Wow. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, that's funny. Yeaah. Yeaah. There's a guy at the church that said, why is it taking so long? And then he was like, you know what, I've been having a hard time coming up with Judas' face. It's going to be that dude. And that's what that guy looked like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Michelangelo is now the big hot guy on the scene, but a younger guy comes along on him, Raphael.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now, Michelangelo is starting to pick up on some.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guy after Raphael? Michelangelo famously said Calabunga while painting the Sistine Chapel. No, he didn't. I saw your eyes get big. Did he? I wouldn't believe that. Uh, when does Shredder come along?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shredder was, in the renaissance, he developed a way for paper to be torn into small parts. And, no, that's joking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. So all these great painters, sculptors came on the scene. The term Renaissance man, have you heard that? For someone who can do, because he's great at many, many things. Golf. Comedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're- If you're great at a lot of stuff, you're a renaissance man. I'm a renaissance man. Philosophy. I'm great at philosophy. Lawyer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Leonardo da Vinci was the original Renaissance man they gave to it. Cause he only, not only did that, he invented like a prototype for a helicopter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was basically a big screw that just get enough momentum. That's the drawing of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was trying to, he just tried to do a lot of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also during this period, Rene Descartes. Yeah, we talked about Rene. I think, therefore I am. He became the most famous. Sing of all time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of movies made today are still. It's kind of blow past him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you think of Renaissance, I think most people think Da Vinci or Michelangelo, but- They don't think of William Shakespeare? I mean, the Renaissance started in Florence, Italy, so I think they think of art and stuff like that. Shakespeare lived during that time, but he was in England. Oh, they were doing other stuff? Well, I mean, they were doing plays and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, it means that general period in Europe, but it started in Florence, Italy and then kind of spread out. So I think when they think of renaissance, it's art, which obviously plays an art.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he came along late 1500s. They probably were alive maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, same time. All these guys were the most famous, uh, astronomers. All the same time. Copernicus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he was the first person that came up with, uhm, you could, uh, that the Earth was not the center of the universe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, uh, cause everybody thought the sun was the center of the universe. Yeah. And then he said, I mean, I'm sorry, the earth was center of the universe. And he said, no, the sun is center of the universe. It's not the center of the universe we know now, but it's the center of the solar system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Galileo, uhm, he came along after Copernicus. He was a college dropout. He was the first person to use the telescope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Galileo also said that the earth revolved around the sun. He also found moons on Jupiter and rings on Saturn. So he was killing it with a telescope. But his views of the earth revolving around the sun got him put under house arrest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he wasn't back off. Well yeaah, he had to recant it, but they still put him under house arrest. The Roman Inquisition, again, did this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you and I were already alive. I was in college. Uh, no, I'm joking. Pope John Paul II did an investigation of the Catholic Church's condemnation of Galileo. 359 years later, they ruled that he was owed an apology and acknowledged that they were wrong in their judgment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Isaac Newton also there in this time. He came along, came up with the laws of motion, laws of universal gravity. A lot of people think Apple fell on his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's probably not happened, but he did see an apple fall and asked, why does it always go straight down instead of sideways or up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, if we had internet access, we could do this out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Famous explorers all during this time period. Magellan. First person sell all the way around the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gotta be pretty cool when you don't even know and then you just show up in the back door of where you started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like, God, that was pretty quick. He didn't even make it himself. He didn't. But his ship did. Of the 260 original crewmen, only 18 survived the three year journey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so they, and the goal of it was to go around the world? Well, the goal wasn't the spice islands, I think, which is near China and, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To go west, no, to go east, they had to go all the way down around Africa and go back up. And they're like, if we could find a shorter route, I bet if we just go due west, we could find a shorter route. It was not shorter. They didn't know how big the world was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took his ships, went all the way down, I think near the tip of South America to Chile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went through the Strait of Magellan, as it was later called, and uhm, a lot of people died, they got in some fights with some people, and a lot of people died, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you tried to convert some to Christianity and they didn't go for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, yeah, it was a three year trip, I think. Yeah. Three year journey before they got back. So he didn't survive. He didn't survive. Nope. But then the other guys did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When was this? This was before that. This was, uh, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it was around the same time, around 1500, so it was about the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Magellan, George said that. He's like, yeah, man, circle the world. Who's your favorite in George's?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was the first person, first European to cross over the Mississippi. Uh, Christopher Columbus, he made a few trips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ended up, uh, I thought it was the Indies, that's why the name Indian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It comes from, cause he called him that, the East Indies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he wrote home and said, uh, these, these people aren't very smart. I showed them a sword and what them cut their hands by grabbing it. That's how dumb they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he wasn't very nice toward the natives that he met there. They enslaved a lot of them and even brought them home. And then the queen was like, no, don't, don't do this and send them back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that was it? Do you think you've been selling for months and months and finally they see that and think it's a woman?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see. Oh, did I say, did I, which one did I already do? De Soto? No, we haven't done that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I, I got that wrong. Daley, DeSoto is the one that discovered the Mississippi. Yeah. Uh, okay. Uh, plus DeLeon was looking for the Fountain of Youth. Fountain of Youth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and he was really just in Florida. Uhm, he thought he found it, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go to it where you found it? I think there is a place, it's called Bimini or something like that. But he got attacked pretty quickly by some Native American. He didn't, he didn't survive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amerigo Vespucci, that's who America is named after. No, I don't, I don't love to ever say that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The New World as well. And Columbus may have beaten him, but the guy who makes the maps gave the credit to Amerigo Vespucci and called it America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow. I had no idea. But it was just a German map maker that called it America for him. I mean, so that just shows how easy, you could just be the right place, right time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, all right. We're talking about that golf. Yep. Golf started taking off a little bit. St. Andrew's link course was created during the Renaissance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it Guinness Book of World Records? The oldest, the Musselberg links.

[Assistant] When would you consider it back to normal?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thousand percent is a lot. But it's up there. That's what you're saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you seething? You have seething resentment? Nah, it's like, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that surprised me. I'm surprised the amount of hate I got for that camel jacket. It's not a good one. But it's... I think people will think maybe it's trench coat length. It's not, you know, it just stops at the waist. It's not creepy. It's just a nice...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you come on a trash can, uh, come up on one where you can just reach out the car like a drive thru trash can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think a big part of it is psychological.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if it was, I think a McDonald's cup, seeing the logo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you associate all these things in your brain with like a good meal that you like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree, do you not think that's part of it? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are they easy to get or something easier than other?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's a little company here in Nashville. The best part was good. They had a great ice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't get paid very often, but great ice. What was it? What were you? Company here in Nashville. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And it was like. Were you like interning? No, man, it's a real job. It's a real job. I get paid on PayPal sometimes or like Venmo. Yeah. So there are a lot of red flags. The ice was unbelievable. So you stuck around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ronald McDonald's on the lecture circuit, dude. He's making his way around to these schools.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think when I started, I knew I wanted to be a comedian, but I didn't. Yeah. I didn't tell anybody for a while because I didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you recognize that it's going to be a bit like in the moment sometimes reflecting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna say, that's almost when it's, if somebody comes home a comedian and they're just on all the, that's where it's almost like you'll get worried about them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She doesn't buy anything. That's some of my favorite comedy is somebody being very passionate at or defending something that's just absurd. Yeah. It's just not where I mean, I feel like that's what a lot of this podcast. Yeah. So yeah, it's just talking. It's nothing. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My mom texted me this week and said, just catching up with the podcast. Please do not do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fairness, he didn't, the beer guard, that's a tough name for you. Beer guard? It is a hard one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sounds so nice. Statistically. Like Rockford. It does. It sounds like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, it just gets out of control. Some of these like names, he's got more nicknames than anybody in the world. They're like, I know that's the whole point of the show, but for some reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now if he's got the junk in the trunk, I'm gonna be noticing that on the bus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't I, that was the name. That was the name I saw in the comment. And I'm like, maybe they know something I don't know. I haven't, you know, noticed that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanna be mirthful. Yeah. It's like a combination of mouthwash and, you know, like, mirth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the thing, I have multiple accounts that I write some of these, you know, as, as Russell B.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it either goes unbelievable, like some people or like just graded it, or you can get into just a train wreck moment where you start talking to people. So like, what is it like being a dentist? Huh? You got it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, now in my head I'm trying to think like what act around the office.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, all of a sudden you had to move that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could be making that up. But if I'm like them, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like you do that when it's like Christmas and you're like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DWs are hard to say, generally. That's why, you know, I mean, I said it last week, but it's, the dwarf is hard for me to say. And it's like, could you imagine also being named like Dwayne? Dwayne is a Scottish word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really is crazy comfortable, like I love sleeping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it'd be more fun to have, not in the bag, and I try to bring it like, and just, you know, with my bike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like, I've actually been at your house other anniversaries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's like a name too, or at least me, I would, I probably wouldn't even find out in the end that that was the, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you imagine naming your kid John Doe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some reason, the older I get, people are starting to hear me say Mick instead of Nick. They go, all right, Mick. No, no, Nick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you loved that we were in, uh, when the manager came up and was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's definitely times where I'll see somebody like throw a headphone on, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Start working. I'll be like talking to them about stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like in your head, you're thinking that's going to be like the voice of like Kristen Bell from like Frozen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that. I love that. It's like the world's greatest bookie. You know, like it's just like, it's also comes out that it's like, I, it's like the creator of Bovada and he's like, look, I really want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't re- I'm from Connecticut though, where he's, ehm, he, P.T. Barnum lived in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually live in his old house. I'm going to bring the helix mattress to the PT.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the best. You could do all that before social media if you were really great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it should be at the farmer's market. Be like, you need eggs? Or look at that giant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder what the, what's the management team of that museum like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This sounds like a Billy Crystal movie. You know, like, he's... Did you ever see that, My Giant?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they go there and it's like, Eastern Europe, my giant. You know, he's like, he goes around the town with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds like a lot of people. Sounds like a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, the greatest thing about it is Orson Welles has, I believe he had that great voice, right? Didn't he have like a good, like you could, I'm Orson Welles. He has like a great Orson Welles kind of voice. But what if he just like really like was like, look, I'm, I'm not on today, guys. He's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was like, look, you're my enemy, but I wanna-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it happens a pretty insane amount now, like through Twitter and through other things where people are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, creating, I, I, I know I've been like even by friends. I mean, you have in your act, like multiple times where you're tricking me and doing that. I'm like the perfect target because I'm, I'm very trusting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had the best, uh, Clint had a great hoax on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, where he, uh, a very good friend of mine, but this is like, uh, one of the best pranks of all time. This is, you know, we're going back 15 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I hadn't now. Now I'm like, 100,000 people, uh, born a minute. Uh, but he, uh, so this is, this is pre where you could like check everything out on the internet in such an easy way. This is like 15 years ago where it was literally, it was much harder to get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Information to find out if things were true. So I, I told my buddy that I was dancing at a club, you know, and I'm, it was, I was like, yeah, it was a nutty night. Oh, it was crazy last night. I was dancing on top of a speaker and I'm dancing, getting crazy and with all these girls on top of a speaker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not making it up. I was on a, like I was like working at the club. I'm dancing on top of a speaker with girls and it was crazy. And you know, it's like, uh, it was like, uh, living like a rapper lifestyle. Somebody's like, God, I'm that guy where people are like, come on on this side of the carpet and hang out with us. And I'm like, sure. So I'm dancing on the speaker and I just tell them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Loosely, that I, and this is also a little person, my friend. And about two weeks later,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm like what? He goes, they did a story, ABC News did a story about little people that exploit themselves for money and they had you dancing on that stage. I go, what are you talking about? No, then he had other people from around the country tell me that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know all like that i saw that i'm ashamed that you i can't believe you would dance like you're what you're exploiting yourself i'm like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just like, wow, that was just so, it just made me laugh. Like it was like, I wasn't even mad cause it was so funny that it happened like that. And then it was orchestrated cause it wasn't like I was, yeah, I didn't do anything. It wasn't like I was online too. This is even like, I believe pre Facebook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it wasn't even like I'm like, you know, I'm doing like a, like a story of a.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh ABC, you know, it just was a couple phone calls and it was so much easier to do that and not fact check it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I enjoy that kind of like calling as people or just goofing around. Even my mom, I did something to my mom where I would call, I used to call like in goofy voices like, hello, I'm Nick, you know, like, it's like a Russian, you know, randomly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so this Russian guy really wanted the car. And he had like a very like fake sounding accent. And he's like, hello, I'm interested in like this car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're, they're, they're crazy. I was in, uhm, it just happened to me actually, the, uh, but I wasn't, they weren't making up that they were me, but I was in a New York Times article and the writer of that article has, is like a big writer and he has a lot of Twitter followers and I got a message from him and he was like, Hey, blah, blah, blah. Can you sign up for this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thing. And it was like, uh, some kind of disability related thing and that, you know, I'm in that world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I was like, yeaah, I run this, I run this, uh, Easter sales disability film challenge. It's a weekend film competition where you need to have somebody with a disability in front of or behind the camera. You guys go to disabilityfilmchallenge.com. Check out all the amazing films from this year's challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but, so anyways, I'm in that world of disability, so I thought like, oh well, maybe I'll just sign this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, you know, I tell them, oh, by the way, thank you so much for including me in, you know, in this article and what an amazing honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then he keeps asking me to click this thing and sign up for some kind of loan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, it is in this disability thing and the article is about the challenge in me, so I'm like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I contacted him and he was, we ended up going to Twitter and being like, this is a fake account and you know, and they, and it's crazy how that happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would be, I'd, I'd sign up, I'd sign them up on my team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I missed part of this. So this is a hoax though, right? He's not a real guy. No, it's a real guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that would be great if it's a giant museum with a seven foot guy that works there. You try to get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But 168 miles an hour seems too fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is though, you would think after being friends with Nate for like a hundred years that I'd be like, he's probably lying. And I'm like, I believe him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna, I wanna see him in like an egg, like you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I remember when it happened that, uh, um, Bates was there as the weatherman and, uh, Bates was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I mean, that pre-2000, you would need to actually watch the news to find out if it was a failure. Now you can just go and be like, it's not. It's the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there a difference between a hoax and a scam?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like the Catch Me If You Can, you know, like that, we saw that in the museum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's unbelievable, that guy's story, those are all real things, like he was a pilot, he was a doctor, he was a lawyer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, I'm a, I'm a doctor. Like the, it's crazy and funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't really a hoax. It was probably a mix of both. What's crazy is like 9-11, there was all these like fake charities and things. I've got one here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that because Yelp, I really do trust Yelp and TripAdvisor. So I would be that guy that's like, this is some of the best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I loved it. I was a little surprised though that there wasn't like a million Dolly Parton things around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what he wanted. It's an unbelievable park though. And it's beautiful too. You're like going into like a national park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up everybody, welcome to the Nate Land Podcast. I am Nate, uh, sitting here with Aaron Weber, Brian Bates, uh, hello folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to, alright, I don't know. You know, the rhythm's not there. Uh, Helix. Just go to helixsleep.com slash Nate. Take their two minute sleep quiz and they'll match you to a customized mattress that will give you the best sleep of your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, Helix is offering up to $200 off all mattress orders and two free pillows for our listeners at helixsleep.com slash nate. So put that in, get 200 bucks off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get a great mattress and sleep wonderfully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, thank you guys for listening. As always, we're excited for you to be here. Uh, and we're gonna, uh, let's just get into it. I like to get, I get, get right into it. I've noticed a lot with Zoom interviews on, uh, if you watch anything on TV with a Zoom interview, uh, they need to get rid of, thanks for coming. Thank you. Just get rid of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ever see in the interviews, they should say, the producer should say, hey,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He might say, thanks for coming. Cause obviously he should, whoever's the host of the show and you just nod yes. Cause it's always a delay. Like it always goes, he goes, and we're going to talk to this person, uh, Aaron, thanks for coming. Then there's a delay. And then right then the person starts to think, so when did you, thank you for having me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Do it, do it and ask me, like say...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nate, what do you feel like? No, no, just say we're going to interview Nate and then I'll show you how they do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's what it is. I mean, it's just multiple out of the gate. Like, and you're watching it like, oh, just everybody please quit talking. Please. There's no need to, then when they leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, thanks for coming. I mean, there's a good three seconds, which is valuable TV time. Just, thanks for coming. Thanks for having me. Thanks for coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long answers or not at all. Yeah, just get into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Dan Patrick always does, which I'm an enormous Dan Patrick fan. Dan Patrick was always very good at...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talking and just, you know, he'd like the person's on the line and they answer and he goes, oh, and this, this guy, you know, uh, Reggie Miller with the NBA has been long friend of ours. Reggie, they were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking about why are they, you know, why is LeBron James going to Los Angeles? Like, like he just starts with the question and the people that are on the show a lot know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the new people, that they're, he'll just, I mean, full on questions asked, you know, Hey, do you think the Titans have a really good, uh, chance to get the Super Bowl this year? I mean, how are they feeling down there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Dan, thanks for having me. I really appreciate it. I think, and you're like, ah, you're like, just go with it, dude. Like, but it's, we're, it's a very nice thing because it's where everybody's being polite, but unless you're in the room, if you're in the room, you can do it. If you're on zoom or something like that, gotta get rid of it. Yeah, gotta get rid of it. Uh, all right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Kurt, first, uh, comment, comments from, are there from YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Apple Black Cash, uh, reviews, and naiteland at naitbargetzi.com. You can email us any of those. Uh, Curtis Watkins, Nate Aaron and Battleship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys give me a true escape from the world's ugly noise and I look forward to it every Wednesday. Thank you. Quick weird question. Do you guys swear outside of work? Bates has got a bit of a mouth on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I try not to. I mean, you know, my mom's listening, so no, I don't ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but no, I don't think, not really, no one does. I mean, I'm sure sometimes I can get it, you can get around some comics. If you get around New York comics, you kind of, it feels like you're, you know, like a sailor, just getting back with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeah, you try, that's a big thing. If anybody wants to start comedy, you want to be a clean comedian, first thing you can do, that you can do every day, do not swear in regular life. If you want to get rid of swearing in your act, if you're a comic, quit swearing in regular life. I would almost say, even if you do want to swear in your act, you should still try to not do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In regular life, there's little things that I try not to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As in regular, like I, I like, I say like all the time and like, like, you know, and I've tried to consciously in the past month, I've kind of just started trying to not do it and I still do it. I can't not. It's very hard to do. It takes a long time, but you should practice it in your regular speech.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chris Radcliffe. Hello, host! Nate, your rant on celebrities and voting was spot on. Whenever a celebrity talks about voting, I literally have the same rant in my head. It's unbelievable. Uh, Radcliffe gets it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like him. That's, yea. I was worried about saying that. After I said it, I was like, I don't know. I mean, especially, you know, people gonna care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's just, it's yelling about something, but it is true. Celebrities are the worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nat, when celebrities urge people to vote and describe the process, they aren't assuming people are dumb. They are trying to normalize it and convince people how important it is because so many people are ambivalent. God, that was a lot. He did that on purpose. Nat, you're probably innate and you threw me under the, I mean, that was a,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got that one in there real good. Ambivalent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ambivalent. I know that word. I don't know the word that I was saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the word? Ambivalent. Oh, I don't really know what it means, but I've heard it. Uh, what does it mean? It means like, don't care one way or the other. Okay. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not a very, that's not a good word for the meaning of don't care one way or another. That's, you know, it's a very hard word for it to just be like, it doesn't really matter, man. That's what the meaning is. Is that not kind of crazy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was kind of nervous when I saw that you all were talking about a potentially controversial topic this week, yet in typical Nate land fashion. You all opened with the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit and then proceeded to talk about daylight savings time. Absolutely perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, we get you into going, uh, where's this gonna go? And I promise it's going nowhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if we talked about voting, I did one like, like old elections, I guarantee you I could talk about it and never talk about this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just cause it's fun. I looked up like landslide. I was like one day looking at it. Uh, Reagan won some big ones. Yeah. He won all the one state. I can remember that. Yeah. He won all the one state. That's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Uh, yeah, that, that stuff's kind of crazy. Like if someone just domination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, different time. Yeah. Dan Wood. Until this episode, I still thought that McDonald lawsuit was silly. The more you know. That's true. That's, I mean, how many people think that still? Yeah. I thought it was too. I thought it was too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then that, it makes sense. Ryan Cotton, you guys gotta stop playing with the papers so much, Aaron and Nate, you don't even read them. Uh, Aaron and Nate, you don't even read, then you just make sure they are consistently straight. Quaker Oats isn't so bad. Well, now we got Quaker Oats has papers. I know. That's cause he didn't have papers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now he does. You're going to see how fun this kind of is. But I'll get rid of them. I'll throw them away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll throw them, just open that window. That'll be part of the segment is when we're done, we open the window and I throw them out of my backyard. I litter in my backyard. Catherine Klein. That's a good name. Catherine Klein.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if that's her name or if she married into it. She married into it, she did real good. She could have chose the guy for the name. Catherine Klein. Is that not a good name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Catherine Klein. Here's Catherine Klein. You'd be like, oh. You didn't even know what she does. And if she walked in, you'd be like. She'd kinda straighten up a little bit. How you doing? This is Miss Catherine Klein. Wow. Nice to meet you. Heard a lot about you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nate asking beef stick questions about daylight savings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was like watching Michael Scott ask Pam Landlord what she does with the checks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it was her fault. Yeah. That was a very good episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She nailed that analogy. That is a great one. That's like when his wife, or when he's dating Pam's mom and finds out how old, old she is, that's another, just him just doing the math in his head of going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I still want to do stuff. I want to hike. I mean, stuff that you can't do anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joshua Tinscher. Hello folks. Hello Nate, Aaron, and Buford. My dog man story. This is... Kevin. This is all he's been waiting for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Black men count. That's that community. That sounds so much better. In the back of an unfinished neighborhood in the black men community and my friend noticed a huge oddly shaped dog on all fours walking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At a normal pace. When my friend drew our attention to it, I was so astonished and curious. I tried to get closer to it, but it got up on two feet and went into a full sprint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried to chase it, but it disappeared in some nearby woods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We joked around about it to this day, but never really told other people because we know how crazy it sounded. Love the podcast. Can't get enough. God bless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Joshua Tencher, you're about to have someone reach out to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that's, yeah, I mean, that's, I mean, that's what he's been wanting. He said, I bet there's going to be people in the comment. There you go. Anybody else that got a dogman story, let us know. That's super fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we don't care. I love it. I hope you're right. And you're going to see something. He saw it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did they find out? They're like, ah, we were pretty drunk, but you're like, oh, okay. That makes sense. Uh, to go up on two feet and run in a full sprint. That's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what they do. They're not scared. I mean, you ever see, there's a video of a, I just saw some gigantic snake in wherever, you know, some other country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazon. I don't know. And the guy's pulling it in the boat. The guy's trying to pull it in the boat. I mean this snake is...

[Assistant] A hundred feet long. He just grabs it like it's a gardener snake. I mean, there's just guys that are like that. They just don't care. This Joshua is one. He's, I mean to chase it. That's what we need though for the Bigfoot people. We need people like that to run after something like that. Wow.

[Assistant] David Ramsey. Is it Dave Ramsey? I doubt it. Uh, maybe he just doesn't want, this is enough to throw you off. Based on the first sentence, I don't think so. David Ramsey. I was born in the seventies. I remember my dad buying several different cars. Yeah, that's not David.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the first thing he did was literally cut the seat belts out of them. He didn't just push them into the seat. He cut them out and disabled the buzzer sound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We weren't big on safety in our house. That is not Dave, that's like a sentence. If you said, prove you're not Dave Ramsey. And he goes, okay. And then he makes that sentence. If people are listening and they, I think a lot of people know Dave Ramsey, Dave Ramsey is a financial guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm doing better than, yeah, better than I deserve. Uh, started golfing too, a little bit. Uh, from whatever, what I've heard, but he, uh, I moved him once too, when I moved people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a couple days ago. But they, he did, uh, they, a lot of people don't know, if they don't know Dave Ramsey, that's, that's all the same. It's who he is. He's a big financial guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been around, he's Nashville, but I think he's everywhere, right? Yeah. He's syndicated, talks about, he's my favorite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Calls or people when they call into him and they say, cause they call in and they go, uh, their problems are all the same where they don't have money. We need help with money. And he goes, all right, so what's the situation is like, I've got five credit cards on two boats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he, I mean, you're not gonna, if you call, you're not gonna have fun. His answers are never fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, uh, cut him up. Oh yea, people cut him. People call in and cut him up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This thing ruled you, this credit card, you know, you've been, you bought all this stuff, you've been paying it off forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. And then you're, you go, I'm debt free. You want to be debt free is the main thing. It's not a bad thing to be, but it's definitely not a, I mean, you're not calling it that. You don't call it a Dave Ramsey to him to go, go have fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could be, you could call in and go, I have $1 billion and you'd like, you should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get rid of your credit cards. You don't need them. And you'd be like, well, I just, I have a billion dollars. You don't throw, you don't cut yours up when you throw them away?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the, yeaah, you just haven't had, you just got it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. Do you remember your first credit card? I think so. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I remember paying by check. Check was a gigantic thing. You had to, you carried your checkbook around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, I mean, I don't, I'm trying to think, I think I, I think I did at, when I was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not there, but I remember I would write checks to Walmart. You could write a check for Walmart to get cash back. So you write over. And then that was, as a teenager, you would do that even though knowing I don't have that money in there. That'd still get $20. And then you're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are we write checks if I paid someone for the road? I, we have a check. We have checks for that and we have to write people checks, but you still get paid in check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently it's going to catch on. Uh, Grace Sloan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. David Ramsey's parents, yeaah, they cut the seatbelts. That is a legit, that's a guy that, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's funny to go, I bet if you talk to his dad now, it's like, why did you cut him out? He's like, I don't know. That was, you know, but it was just what you did. The buzzer is what drives you crazy enough to then cut the seatbelt. If there was no buzzer, I bet he doesn't cut seatbelts, but the buzzer is enough to, you know what? He tried that first, probably that didn't work. And so then he had to disable the buzzer. I do think there shouldn't be a buzzer. My, uh, turn signal was pretty loud. I wish I could turn that down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. It's a lot. And I don't want to use it as much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if I'm on the phone, someone goes, what's that? And it's my turn signal. And it's a loud turn signal. And it should be toned down. I mean, I don't know, you know, what are you telling me for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was very involved in turning this turn signal on. Grace Sloan!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you Erin for being the only not married man in the room and still actually somewhat understanding women. Obviously women are allowed to be bigger than men.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Childbirth changes a woman's entire body chemistry. Like honestly, you think men should be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cut more slack for sitting around eating gummy worms and playing golf while the women are over here pooping out eight pound humans. Honestly, I'm shocked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aside from the hilariously ridiculous oversight, I truly love the podcast of funny and innocent escape from a truly insane world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, alright. This was about the Japan measuring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But so they're allowed to just get bigger for pregnancy? Are they saying they, they don't, cause it's like they don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I could see that. That makes a lot of sense. You give them a little more wiggle room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a, well, they're just, their hips, their hips could be bigger. Yeah. They could be waist skinnier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, let's go around the room everybody. I like to play that. You're always into playing that game. It's always someone, let's go around the room everybody. And then, uh, it's a, but it'd be always, it always is two people. Then one person's like, well, this is no, but not fun. It's never the person that's would not want to say it, but you're just a big dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, yeah, this is Dave Ramsey. This is what he imagined. He imagines everybody calls in they're doing. That's what he thinks when they call in and they say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you got? I got, uh, just bought two boats. Oh, you live on the water. No, but be honest, you're not that close. And, uh, and they imagine the guy sitting in his kitchen with that hat and jacket on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even really know what those are, but they're not good. They're not good. I learned that. I had to ask someone. I have to ask my neighbors stuff like that, which is kind of crazy. Like what a lean is? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you don't want liens against your house, which means you over...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something with the bank. Yeah, I don't know. It's not good. I have to ask my neighbors all this stuff. It's kind of embarrassing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I, uh, yeaah. I always have to ask, I'm like, what's, you know, I try to ask in way, I'm like, yeaah. He's like, there's probably a couple of leans on it. I was like, that's crazy. What's, hey, what would people say leans are? Like, how would you describe it? Explain it to me like a five year old.

[Assistant] Luana Rodriguez. I've lived in Germany and I've been on the Autobahn in the fast lane cruising at about 90 miles per hour and a Mercedes got on our tail, flashed his lights and we moved over and he flew by us.

[Assistant] Last one, Laurie Bourne. I've been watching the Showtime Comedy Store documentary and it's been absolutely amazing. I noticed that Nate was interviewed briefly in the very last episode. What role has the Comedy Store played in Nate's career? Any interesting stories to share? Uh, Laurie, you were, let me know that I was on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, thank you. I honestly didn't know until I read this. I did do an interview for it, and I just haven't watched it yet. Uh, I haven't watched really any of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Comedy Store, what it played in my career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

And so I was, uh, another friend of mine, uh, they were in a band, I think it's called Prom Queens. I don't think it's a band anymore. Uh, Josh Baker, Matt Baker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And great family, very talented family there. Josh, Josh still does music and Matt, his brother, was just one of the most athletic people I've ever met. A guy that could do a flip in this room. He could just, any sport he played, he just picked it up immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you gymnastics? I mean, just anything was like, go try this. He's like, okay. And we'd be the best at that. Very athletic. But, uh, so we go.
