[Assistant] Uh, nothing wrong with a little rasp in a voice. I like that. So strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I do that too. That's what I like to do. Every time I go out, any time I go, this is gonna crush. I feel like a bomb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They did. I like to do that. I like to go, hey, I'm about to take off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to hear there's some idiot up front in the, towards the right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like to hear that, that way I can go in like ready for it. And then if they never say anything, I'm like good, but I'm aware of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those crowds are great, but they make you sometimes think a joke is better than it is. You'll do a long riff because they're laughing and you're like, wow, I just wrote five minutes and then next show, no one laughs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, sometimes it can get so serious with certain people to where it's like, let's lighten up. This is jokes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, it's like, I don't know, like, you know, you don't want to, like when I was taping my special, like my sister came and I don't want, you know, I don't want to be like having to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like give a tour of, this is what's going on back here. I'm like, I just need to be able to focus on, I'm about to do comedy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's a great point though, just people that you can walk away from at any time and they know what's going on. They're not like, well, what's going on? Why are you disappearing like that? They know what's happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, especially if you're taping something. Sometimes there'll be some last minute jokes that I'm like, I just want to make sure I got this wording down. So I like to say it to myself out loud a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The safety cut guy needs to maybe get a new job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said for safety. For safety. Well, if your bank account's getting low. That's what I meant. Okay. For safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're all in this together. Tom Papa is great though. I, I worked with him, uh, one time doing a corporate event. I've done his Netflix podcast or whatever a couple of times, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did a corporate event with him. Very funny. I had not worked with him up until that point. It was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you use the third party thing and then you know you've not read the, the fine print, there's like, it's no way to get confrontational.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that would make me mad too because you should be able to go through with the bag and then check it when you get to the counter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Boad at the National Airport, he hooks it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's the guy. Bode? Bode, yeah. He's the guy. Yeah, not anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're like, what if I buy the overhead space right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the companies got, got tired of it because they, everybody else was getting all these discounts and it was hurting them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I like, I book all my own stuff and it's like when you use the apps, then you build up the points and I get upgraded all the time. And it's like, I'm a real pro with it. Like I see flights get canceled and people line up for miles at the desk and I just go on the app, change my flight. You know, and I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am interested in the illness filter TikTok, how to get the illness fi-filters on TikTok. I'd like an illness filter. We'll dig into that next episode. We'll get into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't be wrong, but I know about two U2 songs and one is It's a Beautiful Day. That's a great song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Hootie and the Blowfish, that song, uh, I only want to be with you. They got a whole like verse that's like straight from a Bob Dylan song, like the whole verse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just wild. It's just like, he just inserted a whole Bob Dylan verse right in the middle of the song. Is it, is it like a honor thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gotta be the worst when you're like, you stole this from me. And then you're like, actually, here's how common that is. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's like just thinking you have this truly unique thing that everybody's been doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a Steve Martin album I like where he's tapping on the mic going, is this thing on? Is this thing on? And it sounds so hacky, but you're like, he might been the first one to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I wouldn't want to be at the one where they beat Alabama. I would like to be at, uh, Garth Brooks I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like wha- Calling Baton Rouge. In Baton Rouge. What's registering on the seismograph? The noise? Or were they stomping their feet? I mean, what was happening? I think everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're looking for the best way to cook it, but I just think if you're, if you're a, uh, maybe have a general knowledge of what to do with it, because if people are coming in there to buy meat from you and you're like, I don't know, do whatever you want, and then you take it out of there, you don't cook it well, it's not good, you don't go back to the butcher shop because you're like, that meat wasn't good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think some general suggestions, maybe even, maybe you even sell some cookbooks inside the butcher shop. Look for some opportunities to make a little extra money. I could, you can talk me into that. Yeah. You go, actually we have a lamb book over here for sale. Tells you all how to cook lamb. You make a little extra money for yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's nobody in there, which is a red flag, and uh, on a Saturday. And then I, I order all my food, and then I go, and I take a, I'll take a water, and the lady goes, there's algae in the water, so it tastes a little funny. I go, alright, I'll have a bottled water. She goes, we don't have bottled water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it just, I left, I left the restaurant. It made me question everything that was going on in there. You know, there's algae in the water. A lady behind me, like the owner was like, Oh, it's Opalika. There's been algae in the water for 10 years. I grew up here. My family lives here. Never heard of the algae in the water. And it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. So for 10 years, this has been going on and you've not thought to run down to the grocery store and pick up a case of water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Make a little extra money. Instead they lost the wholesale when they could have added on. Yeah. I'm, you know, I'm out here hustling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another game pad, bad publicity. Yeah. I won't tell them the, and this kind of, it's not really in the Opelika I grew up in. It's closer to the Auburn side. So I'm not going to, you know, I'm not going to blame Opelika for this. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People always do that though with the hand. They'll tell you where they're from in Michigan based on the hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the last thing I think on the lower peninsula before you go over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeah, where it's like, where it's like, uh, Tennessee is the frying pan and Kentucky's the chicken. Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gotta be chicken, cause KFC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I might go, I don't know, does Cheesecake Factory have steaks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's a restaurant that I never ever go to. But yeah, I mean, if they have steaks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would think Kansas would be in the running, just being so flat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, why not? You know, they just all deserve a little credit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's Canadian, yeaah, well was Canadian, now she's an American citizen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first question in particular that was on the test that I saw, I really wanted to do man on the street with people just to ask them this question because I got it wrong and everybody I've asked it to got it wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's exactly what I said. It's exactly the answer I said. But it's gonna be shocking to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got it. The easy ones are Thanksgiving and Christmas. Oh. Those are the easy. As I'm going through these, that's how I'm telling him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We already went through that process. It was actually pretty easy because we got into it. You know, we're both creatives. So we put together this binder. I went through like, thanks to like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks to all the spy technology that I hate. I was able to go through like my phone where I've taken pictures and it tells me what date, where we were at. We put together this big binder of our whole dating thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I give her the binder, she's like, whoa, I need like this picture, this picture. I just think that she could tell we were a real couple and we didn't need all this. But I think sometimes it's like, I don't know, this is my feeling. Like if you're like, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're like, well, what's going on here? But I think Canada and I think Canada, Mexico, the United States, I think that's all feasible that you would be getting married. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, maybe, but, uh, I really don't think that. I mean, that's not an issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will there be a swearing in ceremony? I think there will be a ceremony, yea. Is it on TV?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I d- I doubt it. I mean, I'll tell them I'm attending, see if that can bump up the ratings. Yeah. Maybe I can throw out the first pitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. But the first question is the one that I really like because it's so obvious when you hear the answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the way the question is worded, I mean, that's what I said too. I said freedom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys went ahead and skipped the bear past the piranha?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't mind the cassowary taking the whale, but against the hippo, I'm gonna have a bit of a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the Komodo dragon bites it, poison spreads throughout, can't grip, can't squeeze.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't think they ever fought each other cause the one is a more of a marshy type place and the other is a dry place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Not happy about it. That feels good. Ooh, I like a Komodo Dragon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. People take it serious. It really takes out serious. Sorry about that guys. I don't mean to drag the podcast down. We're doing a ridiculous animal fight thing and it has four stars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'll give it to the eagle. You got the eagle dropping a goat video? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if we get rid of the whale here, we've gotten rid of all our sea creatures and we can move on to total landfights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a bald eagle versus a whale is going to be a tough one. I think whale takes the eagle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this, the killer whale does jump in the air a bunch. Shamu. Yeaah. It's got a killer in it's name. Possibly it could just jump and land on the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we'll go ahead and move that killer well above that eagle too, while we're at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's that? Well, I stand with the hippo. I mean, I do stand with the hippo. Stand with the hippo. I stand with the hippo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's no evidence that the cassowary asked for the others to get involved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, the Komodo dragon is venomous. So one bite, uh, will really affect. It's too big, but it's like one bite will really affect whatever, whatever it bites. Say it's the arm. So now the, the drag, the, the bear's pretty injured. So I might be injured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think it's gotta, it's gotta go in injured. If it goes to the next round, it's gotta be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, I hope this doesn't get us a four-star review.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a back ball, we've decided. Oh, back foot? Oh, this is gonna hurt standing up. It's gonna hurt standing up. The balance. The balance, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't weigh in. I mean, I can't say that an ego could be beat by anything without receiving a bad review. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So all of us here are trying to take our AG1 by Athletic Greens every day. We gave a, we all gave AG1 a try because we wanted increased energy and immune system support for our busy lifestyles and potential fights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We all try to take AG1 in the morning before starting the day and it makes us feel like we're doing something good to cover all our nutritional bases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is much easier to mix one scoop of powder in water once a day than to take a bunch of different things. It is the healthiest thing you can do in under a minute and costs less than three dollars a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since we travel so often, we also get single serving travel packs so we never have to miss a day when we're on the road. You can get a free monthly delivery and make it even easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every scoop has 75 vitamins, minerals, people don't talk about minerals enough, and whole food sourced ingredients of the highest quality that have major benefits like gut and mood support, boosted energy, and even healthier looking skin, hair, and nails. Less than one gram of naturally occurring sugar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Per-serving. AG1 has been part of millions of warnings since 2010.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you are looking for an easier way to take supplements, Athletic Greens has given you a free one year supply of vitamin D and five free travel packs with your first purchase. Go to athleticgreens.com slash Nate. That's athleticgreens.com slash Nate. Check it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eyes on the side. So it's got no frontal view.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mutual respect. You hear Chris Stapleton in the background.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it says Asian elephants can weigh up to 8,800 pounds. That's four tons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to see the hippo, uh, tarantula fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, I'm still off for now. I'm waiting on a baby to come. But in the meantime, I got a lot of great YouTube videos. If you wish to go on there, go to my YouTube channel and just watch some of those videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in July, once July comes back, it's ramping up. I mean, the second half of the year is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Popping off. No one think he, he's sleeping. You're not quitting company. No, I've been gardening and, uh, you know, I got, I'm getting into it out here. By the time July rolls around, I'll be having some tomatoes and cucumbers in here for you guys to eat. Oh, nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. FAU, which is in the final four in basketball, they released a hype video put together with Seinfeld clips. Oh, really? It's very funny. It's, it's like showing Frank Costanza when he called, uh, Jerry's dad and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back Nate. I think you argue there and one time on this podcast that keeping it off is not as hard as, as keep going. And I would say most people would say keeping it off is the hard part. I think they're both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could only order on one of those mobile screens at this particular McDonald's and there's an older guy who's just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just ate at the one, uh, Darrell Walter Ponda. When I go there, I go across the streets at Steak and Shake. And yea, you gotta order on the screen and then they just yell your name. You go up there and get your food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, no I think I, I think I paid there at the thing and I don't, I don't remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I go to Walmart and just buy a giant bag of balls and they're like mixed, just different. And you and I were playing one time with Henry Cho.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or tennis. Let's talk about going back to wooden tennis rackets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they serve so fast that there's not even a lot of balling. It's just, you know, power.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got some, what they got growing there, Dusty? You like some? Maybe some grapes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't spell it with the ye. Yeah, I think that's probably distinguishes. Yeah, it's probably a pretty big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it looks most like Nate, if you just said, guess who these people are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are we talking this week? This week we're talking about pranks and practical jokes. This Saturday is April Fool's Day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that'd be a good time to talk about. Dusty, I think a few weeks ago in the podcast, you kind of identified the origin of April Fools. Do you remember?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] April 1st rolls around, they're celebrating New Year's and people would make fun of, like, you're a fool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, like, you're real J and just a guppy. Go-able.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, do you have a favorite practical joke or prank? Because I found, I found


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go ahead and tell you, I found an article from last year from LA Magazine where they ask you and your dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you guys, let me just say, if you Google, I mean, you've got a lot of pranks that you've played, that you've talked about in your act. If I just Google it, the most popular one is the McDonald's taking the bite out of the burger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but then you've done numerous to Nick that you've talked about on stage. Yeah. The wolf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a great point because it's on the surface, it is figure skating. So you'd be like, Nick, why would we know figure skaters? But obviously it's so much bigger than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you and Nick have been friends for so long and y'all are so close and we were walking around, I think we were in Dallas. This is Austin. Austin. Okay. We were walking around and you bet Nick, could you ride your bicycle all the way down to the certain location? It's pitch black at night out in this drive in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Nick's like, of course I can do that. And he takes off and you tell everybody, everybody go hide. And we all take off and we go hide. And I knew, I've known Nick for a while. I think that was the first time you'd really been around Nick much. And, and, and to show how good of a person Aaron is, he and I were hiding together and he said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ask from stage, don't you? Senior pranks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. There was a case here in Nashville just a couple years ago, they were making a YouTube video at, in Hermitage or Old Hickory at that Urban Air trampoline. You guys know that place?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, they pulled butcher knives on some people in a parking lot and one of the people didn't know it was a prank. And he had a gun and he shot and killed the guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. They were just making a YouTube video. I don't know why I'm laughing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Practical jokers is about as far as I can go. Cause it's mostly them, obviously it's them that has to do the dumb stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still sometimes feel bad for the people around them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's great. I've hung out with them a couple of times with you. They're like rock stars. Everyone knows them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know, like, I don't know how they're still pulling off pranks without everyone being like, let's obviously... Sal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one of the first original pranksters was a Roman emperor named Elagibulus. I guess that's how you say he was a teenager when he became emperor and he loved playing pranks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he, uh, for his poppest dinner guests would put a whoopee cushion in their seat that made a farting noise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's the first known person to use a whoopee cushion. Farts are timeless, huh? Timeless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he did some crazy, crazy stuff. Like if his, if his guest got drunk and passed out in the room, he put a bear in the room with them. They just wake up with a bear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would do like a lottery system or a raffle where he would give away prizes, but you never knew what you'd get. He'd give away like gold and stuff, but he'd also give away, uhm, a beehive or a dead dog or something like that. Or he would have, uhm, uh, catapult, uh, gold all over the ground. Everyone would be scrambling to get it. And then he'd catapult snakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you'd be fighting snakes. This doesn't feel like pranks. This is torture. He was a, yeah, this is an emperor. Teenage emperor. He was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now Richard Branson, billionaire Richard Branson, he played a prank, I guess he's been rich for a long time, because this was in 1989. I couldn't find video of this, but he, somehow he and his buddy took a hot air balloon and decorated it to look like a UFO.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And flew it over London and on April's fools and people freaked out and like, oh my gosh, there's UFO and police and everything. Everybody came.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they land it and police like surround it. And somehow they open the door, a hot air balloon, I'm not sure how.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But no one knew him before then? Like that's how he got there? Maybe so. Maybe so. There was the great moon hoax. The New York sun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't start, Dusty. The New York Sun ran an article about, uh, a scientist, a astronomer, who had found, uh, pyramids and, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, vegetation and humanoid creatures living on, uh, the moon. This is 1835, so people again believed it and they went with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Problem is all these things, it takes a while for people to figure out it's not real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is just a few years ago in Alabama. Still not sure that last one's not real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Alabama, on April 4th, there was an article that said, state of Alabama, the lawmakers changed pie from 3.14, whatever, whatever, to just 3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there's like threes a good solid number. It's in the Bible. It's a lot easier, not all those other numbers. And then they issued a press release, you know, saying NASA scientists and hunts were all upset about changing pi. It was not true. Some New Mexico, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paper, I think, wrote it, but it makes Alabama look dumb, you know, like they're doing this, but a lot of people bought into it and believed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't tell you why Pi is 3.14, I just know what it is or what that means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it? I thought it was up there for a while, taking payload or whatever, and then it eventually comes back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's it doing? It just hangs out where? Well it takes a while to get up there. I don't think it's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's pretty impressive. I guess I have to admit that I'm wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rocket goes up for a couple minutes and then the payload or whatever it's taking keeps going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they were talking about. I'm sure it's out there though. So is there a video? Is there a video of it? I'm sure there is. Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, how, gosh, how many years has that been now? 10 maybe? Yeah. I don't know. And Jerry's, well, they would, the punter sometimes, if they kicked it a ball too high, it would hit the dome, you know? Yeah. And they had to, they were talking about the scorer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It hit the scoreboard. Yeah, you're right, the scoreboard. Uhm, and they were talking about how you had to adjust for that and that didn't happen anymore. And I was thinking about Dusty, how these rockets, you know, you can only go so high or might hit something and bounce back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they've learned to adapt to it. Yeah, so yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Alright, what's the nickname? Uhm, well we talked about when Nick was here, cause we did hoaxes once before, uhm, Sid Finch. Yea. Sid Finch, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sports Illustrated did an April Fool's issue about a guy who could throw 168 miles per hour. And he was an orphan and just all these crazy things he could do. And people bought into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, kind of like, you know, people bought into it and, uh, a lot of people believed it and they really played it up. Lenny Daxter who played for the Mets at the time was being on it and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think Nick Hathaway believed it when he was on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] POV, alright. Uh, here's a good one. NPR did this back in 2014 on April Fools. They posted an article entitled, Why doesn't America read anymore?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1996, Taco Bell ran advertisements in newspapers nationwide that they, to help the national debt, they had bought the Liberty Bell and they were renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. And people lost their minds over it.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People believed it, and the next day everyone was lined up at Burger King asking for the left hand whopper. Right handed people were saying, make sure your mind's right handed, because I'm a right handed person.

[Assistant] The BBC pulled a prank in 1976 where an astronomer told people that Jupiter and Pluto were going to be in alignment. So for one minute, there'd be a slight reduction in Earth's gravity, allowing people to briefly float. And sure enough, at 948, people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People were saying they felt themselves get lighter, even though it wasn't true, but a lot of people were saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they ran footage of Jimmy Carter talking about it, even though they'd just taken footage from the Mount St. Helens thing, and put it together, and used footage that was also from Mount St. Helens telling people it was a hill outside of Boston. And of course people freaked out, lost their mind, and uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The governor had to issue a statement telling people calm down, take it easy. I think the producer of the TV station got fired. Uhm, but, you know, they always put

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People, I don't, I mean, we said none of us really like it, but they're always like, oh, you fell for it. Well, we trusted you. You seemed like you were an honest person. Yeah, you lied to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I didn't, I'm not that gullible, poor Dusty spent all day trying to help him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Opie and Anthony, when they worked for a station in Boston, they, uh, broke in and said that the mayor of Boston had died in a car crash in Florida. And they had sound bites from people talking about it and went...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just a made up thing. They got fired for it from the radio station.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess, because they were in New York for years, right? But before they came there, this was, this was in 1998.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your dad told me that one of his favorite all time jokes or stories is Josh Wolf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I guess a prank he played with his buddy at a bachelor party. Do you know this story? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, uh, his buddy asked him to get him a stripper for his bachelor party and he hired some woman wrestler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I guess she came out and she did strip and she also starts picking up the guy and just body slamming and, and, and just like wearing the guy out and the guy, his buddy gets mad and like tries to fight back and she just destroyed. It's a, it's a long, I'll watch it on YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's a pranky play. It's got millions and millions of views. But your dad says one of the funniest stories he'd ever heard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's like Harrison Ford's first main role.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Dusty mentioned him a couple episodes ago when you were talking about the guy with the gravelly voice. You were trying to say Tom Wait, but you said Wolfman Jack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just remember like, not so much the radio, but he would be like on Lee's late night talk shows, like stuff, and he was kind of like uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Ryan Seacrest or something now like New Year's Eve, he would be one of the hosts or something like that. I mean half of those people on that list, I know like Cindy Williams was on Laverne Shirley and

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thousand we're talking thousands of motor vehicle accidents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would think they must, is, is the reason because there's no, there's no rear window, right? So you can't, can't see anything behind you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I wasn't there. We were waiting for you and then, you know, you big timed everybody showed up later. Why was that late?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, I did not mean to big time everybody. I know. Nobody thought you were. It would have been nice to have you in this photo. It would have been. I should have been there. Not too late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you got one at the end, everybody came back out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] James Gregory is the guy that's. Why had that when I came back out after his set, he was like getting a standing ovation. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you're not skinny. You ever see a fat guy fall over? The first thing he does is make sure the shirt's down below his pants. Always thinking about it. Oh, I would, I do that too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think many people are ripping cigs in the bathroom. I think it's all vape now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. Yeaah, they just blow it into their shirt or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought about that this weekend, the plane is so small just to think that everyone was just ripping cigarettes back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember my buddy had a CD player who's sitting outside the school.

[Assistant] We were talking earlier about Mystique. He's a guy, I know nothing about his personal life. I don't know his views on anything. I never see him on a podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know a whole lot about that. I will say I almost, uh, I'm more likely to think we're not related, that we both lived in Alabama and didn't know, didn't know each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, that would be, if you were from a different part of the country, I think there'd be more of a chance. I don't know if that makes sense.

[Assistant] Oh, you know what I always say, life moves fast. Starbucks ready to drink coffee delivers an uplifting boost that can help you tune in to the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's Starbucks coffee, conveniently packaged for life on the go. The bottled Frappuccino coffee drink is inspired by Starbucks cafe favorites. It's chilled. It comes in four awesome flavors, mocha, vanilla, caramel, and coffee. How do you say caramel? Uh, caramel. Wrong. My favorite is the caramel flavor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually start the day with coffee, especially when I'm recording a new podcast episode, the Starbucks ready to drink coffee. It's an easy way to get the boost I need to conquer the day and nail another ad read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Starbucks coffee ready for right now. Shop the full lineup online or in store or wherever you buy groceries. And they are everywhere and you should check.

[Assistant] Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. And then it transcribes it for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. And the other like, why didn't they correct him? I didn't know I said the word incorrectly, but now I'll be thinking about it the rest of my life. Wolf. Wolf. There's an L in there. Who did the wolf fight? The wolf took on the cheetah. This was the closest one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cheeto won on Instagram, the cheeto won 55, 45, according to the fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cheetah, dude. I pulled up that picture of the cheetah's mouth and nobody was swayed by that at all. I mean, it's terrifying looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one says when it comes, this is okay. Wildlife boss says when it comes to a fight, grizzly bears are more likely to come out on the winning side due to their larger size and more powerful jaws that can exert over a thousand PSI bite force.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, grizzlies have an, uh, omnivorous diet, whereas polar bears are exclusively carnivores. Omnivorous means they mix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now look at this, this is actually a study conducted in 2015 found that grizzly bears were dominant when competing with larger polar bears for a beached whale carcass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they've actually seen this. Thank you. Alright, but that's not what we're talking right now about a polar bear versus a tiger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The polar bear has an advantage. We, I think we did look this up when we were talking about the polar bears, any metric, power, jaw strength, skin thickness, the polar bear tops the Siberian tiger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That Siberian tiger's faster, but we already argued, we've already concluded speed means nothing in this. It does. We've already concluded that we're in the room in Coliseum. Who cares about speed? Who cares about maneuver?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They both get up to about five feet long. They both weigh 160 pounds. The wolf has short claws, but strong jaws with sharp teeth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so, we're saying though. Yeah, I think we're just saying common, you know, dime a dozen, not impressive at all. Wolf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this is, we talked about a platypus versus an anteater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I don't even think the platypus gets an opportunity to do that. How thick is that anteater skin though?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little dispenser right there above the claws. I'm still going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite fights, but the anteater comes out and wins. Okay. The next one we got up here, we got an eagle versus a barn owl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They found owl feathers in her hair, microscopic owl feathers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. No, that was like a fringe theory that started on Reddit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the stairs didn't show up. You know what's crazy about that documentary is that the filmmaker and the guy who it's about fell in love while making it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the filmmaker and the guy, the person who filming the documentary is supposed to be an objective documentary and the guy being accused of murder fall in love. Yeah. So when I found that out, I was like, wow, that kind of makes the whole thing. He sounds like he


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Nick, we had, uh, a lion versus how, people said we said emu wrong too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not going to trust them. They say everything wrong down there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Population persisted and continued to cause crop destruction. So they were just tearing up farms all over Australia. That's a military operation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So they were already having problems and then 20,000 new emus showed up because they migrate after their breeding season. So they just started coming in and drove, tearing up farms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so the first attempt, right, they had a group of soldiers and they found 50.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the birds scattered, so they were difficult to target. They ended up killing perhaps a dozen out of 50 and they're armed with guns. These emus are evasive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking for numbers of how many they killed. And okay, so right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bounty system instigated in 1923, 57,000 bounties were claimed over a six month period. So listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we ended up giving it to the wolf. You've been hyping up this wolf the whole time, but just know that it's got the emu in the next round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's stretching a little bit. It looks like it's feet are up on a table, just like. I know. Yeah, it's trying to look cute. That's a, it's like, it's a pet. It's just like a regular animal. The cheetah is a warrior. Wait, are we, we're switching it? No, everyone agreed on the wolf except me. I was the only one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You did a good job. I mean, you, I mean, you convinced us to vote for the, the emu. Well, it had a good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are some bizarre matchups in this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're very human-like. Monkeys make me uncomfortable, just how human they look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like looking at them. You go to the zoo, you're just a little...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's odd, isn't it? I mean, it's odd that they're. They got those butts too. Yeah. Yeah. They got a lot going. Oh jeez. Yeah. Uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One just yawned in the video. This is just some baboons running around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are dangerous. So I would say... Here's something that I wasn't even thinking about, the fact that turkeys can fly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine these animals have competed in their own prelims. We got the best of the best going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can hold its own. They fly up to 55 miles per hour. These turkeys can fly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's my, it's for me, I've always thought this, it is not the star of the show at Thanksgiving meal. I'm a ham. It's, I'm gonna decide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're reading, this is a list of on the world animal protection website, trying to get us to eat less meat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How they attack, I guess they just got their beak. We got a wild turkey fight here. Oh jeez.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got two turkeys going at it. They're kind of right now they're going, yeah, do something, do something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're kinda just wrapping their necks around each other right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never thought of a turkey flying, I'll be honest with you. I thought they were like penguins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, he's looking ahead to the next round. He's going to fight the winner of a... Two wells. Two wells. Yeaah.

[Assistant] We're back in here. So we're about to, we're doing two today. I'm about to be gone. Going to Europe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Wednesday. Have you done comedy in Europe before? I've been to Dublin comedy, they had a festival, Vodafone Comedy Festival, so I've done that, but it was like, I didn't headline, it was like just a bunch of comics over there. Okay. So this is the first headlining.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and so I've only been to, I've only done Dublin, I haven't done anywhere else. So we're going to London, uh, and we're going London first, Harp and Laura are going, and then, uh, it'll be, uh, London, we're being in London for like 24 hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's like, cause I have a corporate show, it's like a whole, that's, I have a corporate show Tuesday.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I got to hope I'm not going to be all just messed up. I mean, but I should be good. So we're London and then we go to Dublin the next day. Uh, so it's going to be, we're not going to get to spend any time in London. We're, but we're, you know, we're going to get in as much as we can get in. And then, uh, London, Dublin, then Oslo and, uh, Amsterdam, Belgium.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Yeah. Millennials are, I mean, 40. I'm on the, I'm on the cusp of it. I'm like, my joke, I'm in the middle of it. Okay. Of, uh, Gen X and Millennial. I'm directly in the middle. And so I would, could technically, some places you could argue I am a Millennial or some say I'm a Gen X.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was like, if you were a little bit older, you'd be a boomer. That's true. That is true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

They're all very fun, but it's nice cause it's, they're all very different feeling. They're very different. You know, it's not like it's just the same thing going out.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where was I at this week? Oh, we did Joe's special in Asheville. Looks like you had a UFC party. Had a UFC watch party. Oh really? Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was pretty awesome. Like, so they asked me to do it. Uh, it'll be coming out on YouTube. Uh, I think their YouTube, they might do clips or something. But, uh, they asked, like when I was in Vegas, I got to meet Dana White and then, uh, and then, yeah, it was, yeah, he's the best. It was all, I mean, he was awesome there. I know people have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I met his wife, she's very nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dane is sober now. Uh, I mean, you know, that'll do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It really hit rock bottom. Uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, so yeaah, we did a watch party, the UFC fight, the UFC fight was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bo won quick. Yeah. But Bo, no one talked about it. Like, it looked like you got a little groin hit in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the start of the fight, he, he does a knee and I, you know, they try to usually knee to like the inner thigh and all that kind of stuff. And it looked like it was a groin shot and the ref didn't call it. The naturalist didn't talk about it. And then Bo got him down. And then the submission, I mean, his submissions are just insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gets, it's a very, like there's submissions, you're like, I don't even know what's going on. They're just on time. And then the guy just taps and, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but not to take it the way, Bo was great, but it was one of those where you're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish, you know, when, you know, when you watch sports and you see something and then they just, they don't see it, it drives you crazy. And then you feel crazy. Yeah. You're like, am I? I mean, I'm looking it up on Twitter. I'm like trying to like look at it, like just being like, am I, like, am I the one that saw that? Like, and, uh, cause you think the announcers are going to announce it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, they're, uh, and sometimes they still don't see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's even gets to the most frustrating, I mean when they steal, like they s-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, mine was always the Dez Bryant, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said it was a catch. Remember the famous, was it Dez Bryant, the Green Bay Packers, when he, Cowboys play in the Packers. And it was the one they say he fumbled. That it wasn't a catch. That it wasn't a catch. And I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People got crazy about it, but I would always watch that and I was like, I kinda got why they didn't call it a catch. I just always kinda got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like not saying that it was or it wasn't or they should or they shouldn't, but I could, and sometimes I like when you hear people talking about it, you're like, when someone's arguing, you want to go like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you acknowledge why you see why they would have done that? Sure, sure. Like you could be like, we can argue if it's a catch or not, but like it's, I feel like when the argument just goes, it's a hundred percent that's completely wrong, but you're like, no, no, but you see, right? Like the ball came out and like all this kind of stuff. We can, you can argue that now, but at least.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would they, that's insane. If you can, if you're watching this on, uh, and not listening to it, uh, well, I'm saying you watch it, you can see if you listen, but they show it's, it's like showing the stretch, but that you do not see the base. You don't see the, like the person that wrote this article.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or I saw like a clip of that, you see the guy and like, I want to say it was maybe Iowa or something basketball and the, there's a, the coach is just staring at the ref cause he didn't like the call. Uh, we're about to, like the ref thing, have we talked about the refs? Like I, it's like, I feel bad for these refs. Like you want to go, I know, but you're like, dude, they're not getting paid. Like what are you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not enough to be like, here's your thing, you're never, no one likes you. So here's the field that you pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You pick a job that everybody hates you, and they hate you. Not, they don't, not like you. Like, it's like, oh no, that guy annoys me. They want your family dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and then coaches are allowed to just, just ridicule you and they might be wrong. And if they get proven that the ref was right and they were not wrong, the coaches do not have to come say, I'm sorry or anything and shut and say like, you did a great job. Uh, everybody, every, and everybody just trashes these guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, it's really like, the whole idea around it and the idea, they get treated like second class citizens. Like, it's very gross. And I understand being, you can get upset about a call, but you're like, it's a person, dude. It's a human.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's like, I mean, the guy probably felt terrible, I'd imagine. And then, you know, and I get, you know, now it's like refs are like, uh, trying to make it all about them sometimes or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, some people get annoyed at that. I don't know. I just, refs should be, like, they should be treated. But there's a trade-off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, you gotta look, there's probably 20 of them that make a real living.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] MLB. They make a ton of money. So if you get to that level, but there's not that many, but then anything below that is you're volunteering.

[Assistant] That's all I'm saying. Like, let's acknowledge, like, let's go through it and be like, how many calls have refs got wrong versus right? If someone could do that to go like, look guys, they're 95% right. And I get that they've missed these calls, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, that 5% is part of the game. And that's, so let's, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, be mad, do all this stuff, but like it's gotta leave it. You're like a coach, you can't go humiliate another person. That's so gross. You just can't, don't humiliate another person. Like that's, who are you to humiliate another guy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They make it up and they just act like nothing happened. Cause right, look, they might not realize that they touched it or they might...

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So much so, that I, and this is how much I don't want to do it. I had to go buy a jersey.

[Assistant] So I had to spend, so I had to wake up, go spend money that I didn't think was because I'm just trying to, alright, I don't want the match not to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you know you have it like at home or when you think you have it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I have a joke about it. About Brandon? Well that, like that, it was, it hasn't really completely worked. I've done it, uh, so I'm not going to say it and I might still try it. But the idea of that, like saying like when a guy does it, it was like the first thing where you're like, I don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like when they told, one density goes, you grind your teeth, and I'm like, I'm fine with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I don't care. Like, cause it's- I'm not gonna change how I live at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a whole thing. Uh, alright, let's read some of these comments.

[Assistant] Uh, you should, instead of grinding your teeth or that, talk it out. Yeaah. Yeaah. Yeaah. Talk it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm always learning new things about myself and trying to get better in my, uh, relationships. Uh, I'm not trying to get into that. I'm not trying to make people deal with me better. Uh, that's how you should, but that's why you need better help. You shouldn't think that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your idea shouldn't be, I'm going to make people, you know, it's not me, it's them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can have that at mindset. That's not always good. Uh, it's easier to fix yourself than the world. You know who said that? Me. Michael Scott.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting to know yourself can be a lifelong process because we're always growing and changing. Uh, therapy is about finding some understanding but because sometimes we do not know what we want or why we react the way we do until we talk through things. It's, you know, especially now, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Therapy is one that's probably going to just pop, like even get crazy and crazy because I mean, it's just a zoo for people. It's all day and it's, everything's very heavy and it's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something I think people will never give time for. I know I, you know, it's like you can easily be like, I'm not going to go talk to someone, but it's like, if you're just trying to like enjoy your life better.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Brent Myers, having just watched Ken Burns' series on the history of country music, I was excited when I saw the subject of this week's pod. Listening to the show, however, reminded me how knowing something about the week, about the weekly topic makes for a slightly more frustrating experience. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I understand what he's saying, I'd imagine that could be, like if you just watch something and then we talk about it, and then you're like just, cause it's probably not, you're not mad at like our, the opinions, you get what this is, we're idiots. But it's, uh, but just like little stuff, you're like, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that guy did that because of the, you know, we didn't know that. You're like, yeah, that's true. Uh, but it's like, you know, Ken Burns is like a nice healthy meal and we're McDonald's. Uh, you know, you don't tell everybody about us, but you're all coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zach James. I really wish you guys have touched on how many famous country singers are all related to each other. It's an unbelievable number. Also, I'm confused how Bates had teenage friends in the 90s. That timeline seems skewed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were you, how much older than you were? They were probably about your age. Oh, 43. Back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Small town. Small town. Yeah, but where, what, how, are you, you're seven years older than me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you were seven years older than these kids? I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that means, wait, were you in college? Yes. So you would have been A-20, 19, 18, 19? Yea. And they were 12?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if they're all related, like, you know, uh, the Allman Brothers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you know, like, there's, I wonder if they're- The Doobie Brothers? The Doobie Brothers? Well, they're not. Well, maybe the people related to, like, I'd imagine, uh, he's talking about even other bands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I wonder if it is crazy. I wonder if they're all related, but it's like just different bands. It's like, well, that guy's cousins of that guy in that band. And you're like, oh wow, that's crazy. And you're like, it's all, I'd imagine, yeah, I could see it being a lot. Uh, McDaniel, oh, McDaniel A. Bose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right? I guess. McDaniel A. Bose. I love that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I like that. I love the baits idea of a recent cover of the Doddy West song is from 24 years ago. That is true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aaron saying country fans are the only fans who are defensive about their genre couldn't be more wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man's not heard a couple of metalheads get into an argument, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I think you're both talking about the same, yeaah. But I'd imagine both are. But yeaah, I could, Metalheads, I'd imagine. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, uh, Slipknot fans or something like, or I guess that metal. Like it's like, they get super, you know. Sure, sure. Cause people are more angry at their music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, how does he know? I think it was that guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty fun to wear, especially if you get like super, when you get famous and you have money and you can get masks made, then your band becomes like, cause then you're like, hey, these masks are like annoying. You're like, no, no, no, we can give you like a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like, hey, can I get a table at this crowded restaurant? You're like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey Barry, I know I'm Michael Finley. I don't think this is- What the heck, uh, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a magician, yeaah. He was, he was funny. Yeaah, oh yeaah, he's great. He's great. Uh, hey bear! I grew up in Oklahoma, my best friend's family owned a health food restaurant. That was, uh, I'm gonna tell you, it's not the guy we're talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I grew up in Oklahoma, my best friend's family owned a health food restaurant that was not far from where Garth and Trisha lived. When I was like 10, 11 years old, I would serve Garth and Trisha their drinks if I was at the restaurant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, thanks for the great podcast. Truly gets, truly get so much enjoyment out of my day listening. I put emphasis on wrong words. That's, that's a big, that's a big thing I have with reading. I've heard it, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get so much, I'd have to like pause more and I go, truly get so much and you're like, now that sentence is like, what? Even the sentence is like, I'm not this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sentence is like, I'm not this guy you're making me. That's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joel Palmer. We visited the Opry a few years ago. Took the standard tour. We get on stage and each stood in a circle and they seemed fine with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just learned in this podcast that it probably shouldn't be done. Oh well. Hey bears.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeah, so like, but I mean, do you think about that when you're saying the sentence?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for sure. But in real life, you would have just, if I'm talking to my parents or whatever now, it just kind of comes out. You would have just known. Yeah. Well, y'all talk very, you know, proper. So it's like, you would have, you would have just known to say whom. I think so muscle memory at this point. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'll do it man. That's like what it, yeah, that is like, that's probably what education is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a real, that's like a fancy plate. You're a fancy plate in a bunch of paper plates. It's good. We're both doing the same thing though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, so paper plates is like, I can get very weird about like the utensils or the pay, like, you know, I don't, there's a lot of stuff I don't like. You got some tactile things you don't like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of like napkins can, I mean I can use them to not be an animal somewhere, but it's, uh, I can't crumple them. I'll never crumple them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I like it to be a little bit thicker, but like, even if I have a napkin, I will always have it very folded properly. Like you'll never, and then I use it and I properly, I never crumble it and like, you know. You never do a bib? Even on like a barbecue?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know if I like what, what. It's even if I, if I ate like barbecue, I would almost just be, A, go and they have the, the, the rolls. Paper towels. Paper towel rolls. So I would have to grab a few of them. It can't be just one. I need to grab a thick where it feels thick. And so I'd grab a few that are thick and I have it completely flat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I heard sitting on me and then I would do whatever I want to go do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, that's why barbecue's like tough for me cause it's like I, I'd rather do, it's a mess and I like when it gets all over me and I don't have an easy after. It's tough man. If I had like a towel, I mean I have a towel, I bring a towel with me now. Like a beach towel? No, like a hand towel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never used it, I've had one on the stool, I've never used it, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just kind of sits, I mean, the thing sits on the stool. It's like nothing, right? It's like almost like decoration, but I would use it, like I've had to use it maybe once in a while. Like if you, you just feel like you got some on your face or you're like, you know, sometimes it's like, if you do have water and it gets in your beard, like you're just kind of wipe it off. But, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't, I don't ever use it. It's just there. I don't, there's no really reason for it. It's like almost like it's just like an old thing that's always been kind of through. But now, cause I have the mic laying on the, cause I don't use it to have a mic stand out there. And so I have the mic laying on the stool, so it actually lays on the towel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then it's like, it's kind of there, so it's not just rolling around. But I don't use it for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if we eat something though, I'll have to be like, I'll go wash my hands first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll try to eat with a fork, but then in between. I don't think I like to be messy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, yeah, you go, we wouldn't even. So you would be like, I shouldn't even be talking to you about this. Like we're above this. I'm doing this as a favor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually do brisket, like I'll do brisket or pulled pork. I'm not a big rib fan, but if, uh, it's, if, I guess you can pull it off. I, you know, I loved, uh, Applebee's had the boneless ribs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael Saylor ending a country music episode with a picture of Michael Jackson's childhood home is so on brand for this podcast. Maybe that's why Nate can recall nuggets of information, but does not remember the episode from which it came. Love the podcast. Excited for the Bridgestone show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah. Why did we show these, though? We're talking about- Oh, people's homes that you go to. Yeaah. Yeaah. Uh, Chase Schubert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the original Friday Night Lights, Tim McGraw's character walks around drunk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that's the, for continuing to fumble the football. The real Don Bingley came to speak to my football's team FCA group and share his testimony. Turns out he fumbled the ball once in his high school career, but recovered it himself and his dad rarely ever drank, was never drunk, and never laid a hand on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leave it to Hollywood to recklessly destroy the reputation of two stand-up guys for the sake of a better plot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a tough, uh, cause you gotta, but, cause here's the, the argument with it. I agree. But the argument is this is big of a show if they don't have a relationship like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like in the, like they have to do it for the, is that like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't even know if I've seen Friday Nights. Well, this is the movie. The movie. I think I did see it a long time ago, but isn't that the main thing? Or is that like a giant storyline? No, no, it's kind of a side plot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that you want to go like, no, my dad was like a good guy. Like he wasn't, I could see, I totally understand the frustration, but it's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's tough because it's like, you know, maybe you don't need it and maybe it's still just as big without it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to work, uh, Jennifer Landris. Uh, I used to work at Disney's great guest communications in the 90s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This department answered guest letters and emails. So many people wrote asking if Walt's body was frozen that we had a standard response we copied and pasted to reply. The title of the file was Walt Not Frozen. It included info about where he was buried,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure if Aaron's conspiracy theory is true, but the Disney company has been refuting this story for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His boy was his head, his heady, his head was. So what did they go? His body is, yeah, his body's not frozen. They just keep going, the body's not frozen. We have one of his head, the body's, the body's buried there. You go, the head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. They're not, yeaah. Peter Pan, they're coming in. They all have Price Salmonella.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't say, what is it? Salmonella. Salmonella. Salmonella. Salmonella. Salmonella. Salmonella. Salmonella. What is salmonella? Just like, uh, even if I tell you what I picture, I always picture like it's like some kind of worm or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fi- I picture it like a real thing. Like a tapeworm? Or like a... Like one of those?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, but now you're just a, you're called Pringles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I go, I would go, do you want a pringle? I wouldn't go, do you want a potato chip? But if I had like ruffles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, you're, you're, you're, you're miss, no, I, I think we're, we're on different pages here. I'm saying that Pringles are their own thing. Yes, if I said buy some potato chips, I'd buy Pringles and Ruffles and I'd buy all the potato chips. But if I handed, if I had Pringles in my hand and I, I wouldn't say do you want a potato chip and only offer you a Pringle. I would say do you want a Pringle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's part of it. I think you kinda like it. I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's kind of, it's like Oreos, like when you gotta get, now they have that pullback thing and you're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uh, we got some Pringles. Let's just see what the crumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a great. Bursting with flavor it says. Harper's a big Pringle girl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I mean, it's been sitting there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see what, I mean, we can see what we did. I don't know how we're going to get these back in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be honest with you, it looks, it looks good so far. I don't, like, I guess I can. That's a nice stack. I mean, that's, I don't think there's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. I'm looking at maybe like, what, three broken chips? Maybe? That's great. And here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not bad. It's not a bad writer. I should get a writer I think. Cause it's just a solid, like it almost, I almost should get it cause she is smart about that. With like getting it just to eat like that before you go on stage. It gives you a little energy. It's not too heavy. It's in, I mean they're great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe Gene is some dude that's zero Dr. Pepper Cherry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, wow, I did not know that. I thought Dr. Pepper, uh, was, they're their own thing? I didn't know that either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They paired up a long time ago with 7 Up? Uuuh, I think 80s maybe? I mean cause Dr. Remember is holding it's own. As far as, you know, it's one thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. What do you, what would you need? Just a little.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A two for three. A two for three. Yeah, that's like, and as the other companies are like, ugh, are they annoyed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know all the stuff that expires and doesn't expire? What do you feel about expirations? Are you like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it, are there some places being loose where you're going, come on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So why did Citrus, alright, both questions. Citrus Hill, so Citrus Hill just never took off as an orange juice, but it made a lot of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not really, not an orange game. It seems too fancy. Citrus Hill seems too expensive and too fancy. So it would seem like it doesn't, for the blue collar person is going to be like, if you're like, I drink Citrus Hill, I think it feels like kind of high end. And where if you're like, I got Minute Maid, that's more of like kids, mom, I'm getting Minute Maid, Sunny D. It's easy to say what you have. That's what I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Citrus Hill is, it's kind of, if you have to go, what is that? And then you'd be like, I don't know. And it's already, I'm already out. I mean, but it had, even if it's the better one. It was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if it's the better one, it's like if you tell me what Minimate is, it's like I'm not even, I'm not even, there's not a thought of even, I know what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they are, yeah, digital, the soap? P&G? Rock and gamble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Yeah. So the expirations, like, uh, is it, do you think people will get loose with that? Like the expiration date? I hope not. Man, I hope not. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Laura's weird with expressions, but I mean, I have a joke about that. Uh, but, uh, yeah, I did. Yeah. But she'll not weird with it. She'll, she'll let stuff fly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I'm extra, oh yea. Not like meat though, right? No, not meat. Eggs. No, no, not that stuff, but I mean anything that's like, I mean it just doesn't, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, that's not the shape of the square. No, it's not at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess if we could just put stuff together, anything could be a square. You're like, yeah, we're just grabbing pieces. This Pringles could be a square if you give me a couple minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Squarespace, yep. Squarespace. This is like where college like, they just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone that went to college versus not college. I don't see the difference of what we're talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I am now. It'd be tough now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you been up there, Nick? I have. When I was a long time ago. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I would maybe have trouble though, cause of the claustrophobia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the singular says also those mozzarella things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell yea. But I mean, I don't know if that's, you think it's good for your body if you did that every day? Traveling that fast? Just your insides?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An earthquake is about the scariest thing I've experienced. I've never felt it. I mean, all of the, like, $20,000 is scary. It's, it's the, uh, it's the, the least control you have because everything is shaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's every, like, it's, it's, and you're like, it's the earth. It's not, you know what I mean? Like, you think, well I'll run outside, I'll run inside, everything is shaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, you have to go up. You have to go up. And then, uh, so I climbed a tree and didn't feel anything. And, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. What? I've been in a few. We lived in LA. I lived in, well, I was in New York when, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had it in New York. New York had an earthquake. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a, yeah, it's the first time I felt one. I went to LA and it was, and it, I mean, the light thing was really moving. It was like, it was a big one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you would feel some little ones, I know those little ones that you're talking about. And then you would, in New York, when we felt it, uh, Laura worked in a high rise, like for something. But like, I felt it, and I was in New York, cause it was like in LA, you were just immediately like, that's an earthquake. Cause that's what they do. But in New York, it was like, well, I don't know what's happening.

[Assistant] And I saw, and I was like playing video games at home and I remember sitting on the couch and I saw a dump truck and I thought, hey, is that, is that dump truck like, just like that loud? And then I did, I was talking about, I'd go out, there's so much people don't want to talk to their neighbors in New York. We all, I walk, we all walk out. All of us are on the porches looking at each other. Not one person goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's like, they do worry. Like they're, you know, everything's like, we're all on fault lines. We're all on everything. Everything's on, you know, you're like, all right. What are you gonna do? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I'm, I'm bored of Hillbilly. I'm saying, but I don't, I can't imagine you need the back and forth between St. Louis and Kansas City. I can't imagine much business is being like, we got to get to Kansas City tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do they need to go to St. Louis? To the brewery? Go up in the arch? This is like, uh, uptown in New York, where it's like uptown, midtown, like you're, you know. Man. I think St. Louis and Kansas City don't even really like each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Belgium too. But they're both, it's all going to be great. The people will be there.

[Assistant] A lot of people are probably thinking, all right, Derek was on last week, start the show. Nate, come on in. Nate's not coming. Nate's not here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was also an episode before you came on board where we ran it, did an AI story where I killed Nate with a lamp. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we don't know where Nate is. Police have questioned me. I was the last one seeing with him, but we don't know where he's at. No. Nate is, uh, Nate's at Pebble Beach. Playing, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, Nate's special did come out. Let's see, we're recording this on Monday. It comes out tomorrow, but it'll be out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen it. You were there live, telling people enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's the best one yet. I was partial to Tennessee Kid because I was there for a lot of that. I was there when the dead horse happened and not right near and I love Tennessee Kid, but this one's so good and I think it's going to be his best one yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's on, uh, almost said Apple Plus. It's on, uh, Amazon Prime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, this is where we do where we're going, where we're being. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That night you were driving back to the hotel and she's out in the street and she gets in the truck with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And did, uh, your dad and your daughter, did she cry when she saw him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last time you said you were going to Alabama for those shows, you were going to see your family and your dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not probably by their standards. And it snowed the whole time we were there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost no one did not, I mean, it was, it just didn't deter these people at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty treacherous, just us getting back to our hotel and then I thought there was no way my flight's getting out tomorrow morning. I had a 6.15 flight yesterday morning. No problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, he looked pretty miserable, didn't he? Yeaah. He was struggling. It was cold out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so I was in Waukesha, uh, but the week before had something kind of crazy. I was, I did a show with the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jackson Country Club in Jackson, Tennessee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, driving down I-40 there, took a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're about halfway there and we're just talking out of nowhere. I'm driving. He's in the passenger seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My passenger side window just completely shatters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think Eddie did it. Sounds like he did. Well, I don't know, but I mean, he was like, whoa. And then it just glass flying and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thankfully he wasn't hurt. I pulled over on the side of the interstate. My windows is completely shattered. Yeah. Classic where we're still don't know what caused it. I have no idea. But we're halfway to Jackson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're kind of like just stunned, like, I don't know what just happened there. 80 gets in the back seat. Right behind me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rest of the way, some more glass that flies. So then we just start down the interstate. Now he's just right behind me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And pretty quick, we're like, this is way too cold and way too...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, loud, so I pull over again, I get a blanket out of my trunk and kind of put it over, over that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we get the rest of the way to Jackson and then we tell him at the country club what happened. So the guy who works there said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I go get a trash bag and some painter's tape and I'll fix this up. So he goes out there very nice and he, he puts this trash bag on it, drive home. Eddie still sits behind me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let me tell you something, a trash bag flapping in the wind, 80 miles an hour down there, it was the loudest thing I've ever heard in my life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I pull up at this country club, I got my opener in my backseat behind me, I got a giant blanket over my window and everyone's just standing like, I think that's the guy who's performing tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never heard anything like that in my life. Me either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I got, uh, so then I went to, uh, my insurance said, we'll go to safe flight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What would, what did they do here, repair or replace? Well, there's no, there's no repairing, it's gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, so they said, we can get you in, this was last week by the way, February 1st.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can, well, the insurance said that they can put a crash wrap on it today, just temporary. I said, okay. So I'll go down there and said, I need this crash wrap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they go and do it and they put it, you know, and I head home again on the interstate about halfway home. It just comes off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm like, I don't know if I wasn't supposed to be driving fast with this thing on. So, so ever since then, I've have, I've been avoiding the interstates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, where the wind catches it. Wow. So, I'm in my wife's car today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem is when it rains, I need something over it. And if I take that crash wrap off,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you have one down. No, it's got a crash wrap over it now. I'm just avoiding...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went in there and I said, uh, that crash wrap you put on, it didn't even make it on the way home. They didn't say, oh, I'm so sorry about that. They're like, fill this out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're getting there a long time? Like we're maybe just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ain't either, but I know what you're talking about. Like the old west, they always had one little frying pan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I haven't read the Harry Potters, but you told me recently that J.K. Rowland was a Christian and that if you read the Bible, you knew how Harry Potter went.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bangles had beaten the Chiefs the last three times they played.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What spread shaving or something like that then maybe official because that has happened with there was an NBA referee that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's doing some stuff, but to flip a game now, I just, I feel like that's just so much would have to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few years ago, it was the Vikings and the Saints and the playoffs where that, uh, past interference called it. I mean, that really, really swayed that game. But, but again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just recently watched Rudy again. I mean it would be on my Mount Rushmore as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are movies, well even Rudy, which I recently watched again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the time, it wasn't like this, but now there's so many movies that are made fun of, of the wise old black janitor that teaches you, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now you watch it and you're like, uh, this is kind of cringy. But at the time, there wasn't anything like that. Yea, but that scene in the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is good. In my other, when Rudy sacks the quarterback at the end of the game, there's a quick shot where his dad and brother in the stands, they're looking different directions. And that's always kind of bothered me. It shows his dad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like his brother's kind of looking this way. It looks like his dad's looking this way. I'm like, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If a conspiracy theorist were not to believe in space, what would it take?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that I was something too wrong, like living on the moon. I mean.
