[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think you guys are going to win as far as cause I know you had an exciting weekend too. Um, I was in, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Snook Christian Academy, uhm, back to school event for the teachers in service there and they were great and we had a good time. You guys know Foley?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's someone's name. This is the hat I'm wearing for the school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, after I left, I visited a friend who lived in Fairhubbs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's great. And they, uh, they just did a personality test at the school and they wanted me to take it. It's one of those, like, it's called Who Am I?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And well, it's not going to make a lot of sense because they're colors, but I'm a blue. If you're listening, I'm a blue. There's gold, orange, blue and green. They kept talking about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, I had a great time there. Uhm, first time ever, you guys ever done this, phone to a gig and phone back the same day?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but if she's trying to change, she's going to now say pasta, but yeah, you're right. It would be pasta pasta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was this thing to you talking about it just now? Was she from a small town?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But before we do, uh, I was trying to segue from Jesse Daniel into game time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, except for Matt, who's saying some nice things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you say the Home Depot, it is the Home Depot, isn't it? Most people just say it's Home Depot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say to Benny besides researching the top, just coming up the topic, researching the topic, doing all the work, all the comments, all the emails. Yeah, I agree with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they didn't have pickleball when I went, I think that's a relatively new sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did play some putt putt and some shuffleboard and all the other old people stuff that you'd imagine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People sent me a clip of, uh, Parks and Recreation, where if you watch that show, Jerry, uh, the old guy. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't think this is the old guy of the group? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, on the show, he talked about having a timeshare in Muncie, Indiana, and that show's set in Indiana, so they all laughed. It was the exact same situation as mine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's visiting his grandparents. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we loved it and we summered there and back off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Six Flags was awesome. Opelika might be a good comedy city. You got either direction. There's a club in Opelika or in Auburn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I agree. It's, I mean, I love it one cause it was free. It is free, but they have good animals there. It's not sad. Like the one you said he went to in Little Rock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she was just a little too young to, and this is just a couple of months ago, but to really like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything about it. We sold world's finest chocolate every year. I lived...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out in the country, very small school. She also said, I didn't, I couldn't put it all in there, but her other kids would take it, their parents work and they would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I never, first of all, we're selling it for a dollar, a candy bar for a dollar in 1982, when candy bars like 20 cents or something. But it's the world's finest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The world's finest. I remember one time we went to Charlie Daniel's days in Mount Juliet. He would have like a, well, just that, a date on her Charlie Daniel's. We walked around and I walked around trying to sell world's finest chocolate candy bar and, and, uh, it didn't go well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are dirtbag tactics. You return what you don't sell and so there's, there's no buying ahead of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I can understand why you would say that you're not crazy, but if you are considered better help, it's one of the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish BetterHelp was a sponsor, uh, but they're not, but I will tell you about Fabric by Gerber Life. It's an easy one-stop shop for all your family's financial needs, offering high-

[Assistant] Policies issued by Western Southern Life Assurance Company, not available in certain States, process subject to underwriting and health questions. So Jake, no, I don't know what you're talking about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's our perception. He said it's relative. So it's thousand miles per hour is fast to us. It's not my perception.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's to some people's perception, a thousand miles per hour. But thousand miles per hour is fast. If you're not, not if you're as big as the earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't think an ant thinks I'm a pretty fast walker, but I bet you guys don't think I'm a fast walker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But let me ask you this, and I know I probably shouldn't even get off on this, but other planets in the solar system, you think they're out there? Or do some people think they're out there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mine, mine's not big, powerful enough to, I can see it, but I can't zoom in on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can see the ring, it's very small, it's very faint, but I can see a ring. And I can see, I can't prove their lilies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well today we are talking about school. All right. It's back to school this week here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we're done with the comments. You're asking about the comments specifically, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, today we're talking about school. It's back to school this week here in at least Nashville. And I think pretty much everywhere in the country, people go back to school in August.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think when I was in school, we would start after Labor Day. That was kind of the September. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could have been like the Tuesday, like literally the day after Labor Day. I don't remember, but Laura was telling us, uh, about how now they're here considered year-round schools.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not that different, but they do start earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because uhm, they have fall break and a spring break. We never had a fall break growing up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, where we went, like, mine's pretty simple. I was first through eighth grade at the same school. It was the smallest school in the county. First through eighth? Yea, I didn't go to kindergarten. Okay. First through eighth grade at the same school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, I was only at two schools before college.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. But it was great because I was with the same kids for eight years and there's just a few of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they seem so mature and, and just put together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was a huge adjustment. It was so nice though to be around other kids that you hadn't been around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be. It could be. That's a good, that's a good call on that. That was third grade maybe. I mean, your hair looks good. You got a good head of hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is one in Lebanon that, I mean, it's still there, but I don't ever remember any talk about it. I don't, I just don't think we could afford it. And yeah, uh, so, and I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you went to private Christian schools. I see advantages and disadvantages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I mean, my daughter now, you know, I'll be considering for her in a few years where to send her to school. And there are some advantages to public school, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I may be wrong because I wasn't in private school but, but I feel like you're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, in race and economics and just different, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, just not everyone's maybe as similar as you. I may be wrong, but that's how I feel. There's probably some truth to that. I think it depends a lot on the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I remember when that song came out and I knew who Lee Greenwood was because he had stuff out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we're all 10 years, well, you and I are 20 years apart, but we're 10 years different, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I graduated high school in 1990. Did you graduate in 2000? In 2010?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My first great year I think was 1978-79.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there was a lot of happening back then, but so. Oh, look here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you ever have first day of school nerves or excitement? Yeah, every time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which kid did not start? There's six of you there. Uh, I don't, ooh, I don't know. Who wrote the bitch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So our brothers are John and Stephen. There's a million male biblical names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's the first Christian martyr. Okay. Uhm, and then for girls, you know, like Mary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And okay, I guess we'll go with Ruth. If you don't want to do that, Esther. Mary Magdalene. That's still Mary. So I'm watching, uh, you guys know this show, The Chosen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I just started it, so I didn't know anything about it. Uhm, he'd mentioned it on Rogan, I think. Oh, that's where he talked about it. Yeah. Yeah. I just started it and I had a hard time getting into it because they created it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they create backstories for these biblical characters that aren't in the Bible. Yeah, so I had a hard time, you know. I won't watch it, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you didn't say the Passion of the Christ? No. Yeah, for the same reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well anyway, The Chosen, I had some of the same issues because they're creating these stories of these people that, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've taken artistic license, but now we're getting into the parts that are in the Bible. And so I'm starting to get on board with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know all the stories in the Bible. I've read them so many times. It's nice now to even do a pretend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thinking about what they look like or putting some personality to the characters, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they humanize them so much. I'm like, I don't know. Would Jesus really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. So there's some of that, that's, that's hard to get. I don't even know how we got off to that. Oh yeah. I asked you about the pitcher on the wall. That spiral, but Mary Magdalene is a, is a big role in, in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I can see that. I don't think in elementary school I was even thinking about like just whatever my mom bought. That's probably what I wore. But by high school, Lebanon, the options were pretty limited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, we had one clothing store that opened goodies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you'd buy a nice shirt from there and then go to school the next week or the first day of school and there'd be three different guys wearing the same shirt. Oh yeaah. That's the problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I told a story on here before you joined us Dusty that my first day of my senior year in high school, I wrote a war on new kids on the block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure it's cool because somehow I missed it. That's not cool. So was it a fresh one? I'd just been to their concert.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think school bus drivers have one of the most stressful jobs out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kids or at least boys will wear shorts to school when it's 10 degrees outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree. Now did you guys do recess or was that banned by the time you got in school?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had portables, so in a way I did live in a trailer for a while. You guys know what portables are? No. I had art in a portable. Basically, if they didn't have enough classrooms, they would bring in...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you do a lot of after school activities? Just sports. All the way through?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was, and I, I can't say that I was in that group. Maybe I was in the minor leagues of that group. I knew some people there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do feel like my senior year was by far the most fun year because I mean, I guess that's true for most people, but there's something about when you're the oldest ones, you just have a different attitude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't have a good segway here, but let's see what you tell us a little bit about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I looked up, uh, number two pencils were very big back in my day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Yeah. Uh, I mean, we didn't use them much, but they did exist. We had the pins that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read where I was doing those research. Oh, maybe that pencil mate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the SAT is going all digital starting next year. So no more number two pencils needed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess it'll now be shorter moving from three hours to just two hours and give more students more time per question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, it sounded like I was thinking that's a hot take, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you guys ever have the dream that you can't remember your locker combination and have to get into it? It's a very common dream apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brings you back to memory lane. I went back to my elementary school a few years ago for some event and went into some of the same rooms, like the cafeteria.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now it just seems so tiny, I couldn't believe it was the same room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm assuming most of the kids at your school went to college afterwards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about doing Wednesday as well? Do them all. That's a good question. I don't know. In college, our classes, Monday, Wednesday, Friday were 50 minutes and Tuesday and Thursday were an hour 15. And I liked the Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes better. Even though I went three times a week, just because hour 15 felt so long. I just wanted to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then you gotta leave and go right to another one and start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would that be an excuse absence if they said, hey, it's not safe? I think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I don't have a good segue for this either, but tell us about Rocket Money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did, uh, were chalkboards still a thing when you were in school?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not what I thought you were gonna say. I thought you were gonna say, y'all still had chalkboards here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I want to say I invited, uh, Harper Bargatze to come on to tell us about what school's like today. She declined the offer. She had an after... Tough to get a Bargatze on here. It is! I asked Laura...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ask Laura, Laura said no as well. So, uh, I got to talk to you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, my grandmother had one growing up, so maybe that's just a thing. How old is your house? Like old?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the late 70s. Yeah, I know. Not in kindergarten, I didn't go to kindergarten, but like first grade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My buddy said that on his next door app, people were not happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it wasn't, this was just like the city fountain, like there in Fairhope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see, August 27th, I'm in Irwin, Pennsylvania. That's right outside Pittsburgh. I'm at Community Church. It's open to the public so anybody can come. September 2nd, Skyline Comedy Club in Appleton, Wisconsin. Two shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And September 9th, uh, North Charleston, South Carolina. All right. Comedy at the sparrow. Oh, awesome. Yeah. I've been to the sparrow a few times. I've never been. Who runs that show?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, none of this is lost on me. None of it. Cause come on shows, you're just the nicest fans and thank you so much. Uh, Nate is back next week. So last time we did two shows, two podcasts, the first one, man, like this is great. And by week two, they're like, no, when's Nate back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Nate's back next week. Don't worry. And, uh, he'll have a lot of stories to tell. I'm sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he might. He might. So, uh, thanks everybody for listening and we're having a good time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you were named after a character from Dallas? That's what my mom says. And your kids are named after the Dix Hyzer? Daisy and Doot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, both polls are almost identical. Twitter and Instagram. They were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Yeaah, maybe I should do like a runoff now. Get rid of those other ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a little different. I was in Glasgow, Kentucky. Vegas of Kentucky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but it was a great show, met some folks, so uhm, Henry killed it, so it was a fun time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the good, that dusty sleigh hat, some sunglasses, maybe some gooder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do remember? Yea, we got it. Yea, that's from last week. I did learn a couple other things for Flag Day. I thought we might do a flag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Episode. Yeaah. My grandfather, Guy Slay by the way, born on Flag Day. Just wanted to bring that out there to you. Well, there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Old Glory, I heard it's a Nashville connection. Nashville connection. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was one of these transplants, of course, moved to Nashville from Massachusetts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is during the civil war. He flew his American flag outside his house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he called it old glory. And then once the war officially broke out, they're like, we're going to get that flag from him. And he took it and he hit it where they couldn't find it. And then, uh, when the union, uh, took over Nashville, he took it down to the Capitol to the union general and said, I've been hiding this flag and they flew it. Uh, and like, you know, old glory. Now it's in the Smithsonian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, flag day, that was actually a teacher said we should have a day honoring the flags and should be June 14th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then he wrote a letter to the editor saying it should be June 14th and he kept pestering him. Finally, the president was like, let's make it June 14th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Podcast, I think it is because I learned about the couple of people said they didn't know either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's amazing though, how throughout history and even in our lifetime, that used to just not even be a thing that we thought about or worried about. And we all just got by fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All these animals, they would have got it wrong if they didn't know what we really looked like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. I forgot to mention last week you threw out the first pitch at the SoundsKing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I do find it interesting, you almost always wear a hat and then you're out there on the mound. You don't have one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. Alright, this week we're talking about Minnesota. Right. The lake state. Uh, 10,000 lakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's actually 11,000 or something, but, uh, it doesn't have the same ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They call it, uh, the legend is Paul Bunyan and his blue ox craved the lakes with their footprints. I believe that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other alternative, you've already beat me to the punch, besties. Melting glaciers is the, uh, what scientists say caused it, but I figured you would go more with Paul. But even before you heard the other answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's just a legend. Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, they have a statue there in, in Minnesota.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that Paul Bunyan was ever a real person. I think it was just folklore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Minnesota is a Native American word, which means land of tiny soft drinks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, St. Paul. That's where I'll be. Sick shows, right? Sick shows. Sick shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So St. Paul is the Twin City, uh, not originally though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, according to the Minnesota Historical


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, society, it was originally, um, I've lost my place, Saint Anthony, that was the original Twin City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, cause St. Paul is 14 miles from Minneapolis, which was a day ride away back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then over time, St. Anthony just became part of Minneapolis and then later St. Paul became the Twin City. St. Paul at one time was not going to be the capital. They voted, the legislature voted to make it St. Peter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the St. Paul legislature who later, legislator who was in charge of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, making it happen. He took the bill and ran and hid for days to keep them from passing it. And then they just never


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This guy took physical possession of the document, ran and hid for days in a bar and nobody could find him. So they finally like, alright, now that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might be, who knows, but they kept it St. Paul. St. Paul was originally called Pig's Eye. Oh geez. That's a good change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this is like when it was first becoming an establishment, like a place called Pig's Eye, and then they changed it to St. Paul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, when was this? Uh, early 1800s. Yeah. Yeah. Or mid 1800s. That's about the time they were doing that kind of stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're gonna know a lot


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I bet the people at that time liked Pig's Eye better. This was just some uppity guy who changes to St. Paul. Some priest, some Catholic priest comes in, tries to ruin things. That's what they always do. They're trying to live in a society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just said he was called Pig's Eye. His name is Pierre Parrot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe so. Uh, Minneapolis used to be called Mill City. It was the mill capital of the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess so. Uh, Minneapolis is, I mean, Minnesota is home to Target. Right. Best Buy. 3M. Duluth Trading Company. And General Mill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Target started in Roseville, Minnesota, but I think they're headquartered now in Minneapolis. The Target Center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Minnesota has one of only 13 McDonald's in the country. This is in Apple Valley. You should go visit this, Nate. Still has the original design. Oh really? Oh wow, look at that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I wonder, uh, that would be fun to go to that McDonald's. I looked it up. It's in Apple Valley, which is a suburb of Minneapolis. So not too far. All right. Got a little something to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number seven. Okay. What is that? Two cheeseburger. Oh, okay. Well, it used to be number two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think generally speaking you learn your parents eating habits and I admire you for changing just because you just do it because of the health, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's talk about some famous Minnesotans. All right. Who guys think of who somebody comes to mind? Jesse the body. Yeah, that's who I was thought of. Jesse Prince.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's so funny, I forgot about him. Uh, well, I thought of Prince. Uhm, Paisley Park. That's somewhere else you could go, Nate. That's his home. That's kind of like Graceland. Oh, really? Where you can go take tours and stuff like that. Oh, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that's not too far from Minneapolis, about a 20 minute drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't write down where he's from, but he's from Minnesota.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Foul ball, was it? I thought he has some type of weird disease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. You had a prairie home companion? Yeaah. Had a... Girl told me I talked like him one time. Oh yeaah. A little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was your mail at Big Donald's the one time of year? Oh, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the 70s and early 80s. Yes, I'm saying you watched it live. Oh, I thought you meant like, like I was out on the prairie happening in the 1800s. Oh yeah, I did watch it. I mean, there'd be a cliffhanger and I'd have to wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he was an angel in this. He was in Bonanza, which is one of the biggest questions ever. Then he does Little House on the Prairie, then Highway to Heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wait, Laura Ingalls was the little girl?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The little girl. Yeaah. Is the, Laurie. I think that's the main one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I read a little bit about the guy, Mayo was a doctor and, and I think he just settled there in Rochester and, and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, there's two or three hospitals in the world, I mean, outside of Nashville that I could name. That'd be one of them that I've heard of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of those well known, uh, UFO cases. Oh. Sheriff's deputy was out on patrol about 2 a.m. This is 1979. Saw a beam of light on the road. Went toward it. Next thing you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his headlight and red mercy light were damaged and, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his radio, his car was all banged up and bent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had, the doctor said he had what seemed like welders burn. And, uh, that car is now on display at the Marshall County Museum there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had not heard about this. I did read where a meteorite, they usually burn up in the atmosphere, but I read where one hit the ground in New Jersey. Yeah. Just like recently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just in like the last few days. At least it was there, you know. In New Jersey? Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Minnesota Iceman was a man-like creature frozen in a block of ice. Half man, half animal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it was probably a sideshow hoax, like the guy that would display it said they found it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, my grandfather went to, uh, Wilson County Fair probably in the 1920s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's paid 10 cents to see a horse with its head where its tail should be and tail where its horse head should be. He went in there and the tail was just in a trough of water. That was all it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Minnesota nice, which I'd never heard of until a couple of weeks ago when Dusty mentioned it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where you're basically really, really, really nice to people to face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost too nice and then maybe not so nice behind their back. That's the bless your heart of Minnesota. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, who's the most legendary sports person from Minnesota, you would say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I might too. The Herb Brooks is the coach of the hockey team. The Miracle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their, uh, football team, they had one Heisman trophy winner back in the 1940s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've won seven national championships. In football? They've claimed seven national championships. Back in the day, anybody could, I mean Vanderbilt has two, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but in the thirties and forties, they, uh, but Bruce Smith is a white running back. So he wouldn't be winning today, but, uh, he won the Heisman trophy in 1941 and Bronco and Nagorski we've heard of him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He played for Minnesota, and now there's the Bronco Nagurski Award for the best defensive player in the country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think you're right. I know one of the major league teams is in St. Paul. I couldn't remember which one. They got down to six finalists for the name. Blue Ox, Freeze, Northern Lights, Voyagers, White Bears, and Wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the Vikings are tied with the Bills for most Super Bowl losses without ever winning a Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A couple more. Well, the richest Minnesotan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He created Taylor Corporation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it was the Stark Rebellion, the Timberwolves and the Lynx. That's the WNBA team.

Bring your dad, bring your wife, bring your parent, bring your kids if you can. I know you can't get in, but, uh. But do bring your dads. Yea, definitely bring your dads. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes it is man, that's uh, that's hilarious. Well thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got my attention. And then the, uh, the last, the last slide was always the clip art of two hands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were all calling the owner's cell phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's kind of complicated, but I think in a couple of weeks you're out of town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this one's going to air next week and then the one we're taking next week is going to air the following week. This is a quick turnaround.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For us, this is coming out next week, but they don't know that. So it'll be the week of. The week of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, you made it fun. Yeah, I like that. Was it, there's something on the bus this week and you said that kind of like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let them know. Nate's not available this week, so I'll just put that on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, offer some golf for you. You come there. He says the nicest course outside of the United States. Oh really? Then he went on to say, there's no way I could ever get on there. I'm a plumber. So Nate's my only chance to get in there. So I appreciate these guys' honesty. He wants to play with you, but he needs you to get him on there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read this article, she talks about how, yeah, you just feel so alone. William Shatner said something serious, similar when he went up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Jeff Bezos' thing up in space, he talked about how the vastness of space and how everything's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, there's nothing alive up there. It was, it made him kinda depressed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did, but I guess just looking out, like, it would make me, I think, feel like happy that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought you told me about someone who was walking across it and then they, they killed him. Cause he was getting too close to something he wasn't supposed to see. No, I don't know about that. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty, well I thought we might, the article had some more details that I thought we might want to learn about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They lifted the suspension later. He, uh, he was saying he was on Good Morning America, Jay Leno wanted to have him on and then, and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So many people emailed the school board that I think it crashed the server and he eventually got reinstated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Uhm, and he became a school hero.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a, I think it was a new school and the article talked about it took him 20 hours to put all this together, but he convinced the fans there that they were, I don't know, I forgot what it was, they thought they were holding up, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mhm. Dusty put up a fence, but he put it up the wrong way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm gonna tell Dusty again, he had a septic tank put in, and the guy's uncle died, and Dusty got mad about it, cause his uncle died.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that's a good question. Depends on which uncle, but. Yeaah, yeaah, see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his name has to be in the obituary to prove it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well you could say something like, you know that whole, the kite and the electricity? Right. Thomas Edison's going to take it to the next level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see where the, uh, is it the Florida Marlins? Uhm, we're doing Bartman Appreciation Night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every ancient religion or many have a similar story. Talk about a flood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This week, uh, you're headed to Michigan for some shows. I think you're going to Detroit and Kalamazoo I believe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Michigan's two peninsula, peninsulas. Did I say that right? Yes. Well. Thank you. The lower peninsula is the shape of a mitten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the Upper Peninsula or the UP, they're separated by the Strait of Mackinac.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leanne Morgan's done some shows on Mackinac Island. Oh yeaah. You can't, there's no cars on there. Oh wow. So you have to take a boat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's one of the big tourist destinations to go. Oh, it does look really nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a movie, uh, somewhere in time with Chris Reeve and Jane Seymour set at Mackinac Island. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's just a tourist spot, I don't know how many people live there, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So first one from Michigan is called a Michigander or Michiganian, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but people from the upper peninsula are sometimes called youpers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michigan's called the. Why were ours good guesses? Well, Detroit would be kind of obvious choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Traverse City's a good guess because you didn't go with the obvious choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So people in Michigan, well, it's the Wolverine state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One, uh, idea involves the land skirmish with Ohio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over 40% of the state's covered in water, more than any other state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over 40% of the state. I look at that line right there. All that water is part of Michigan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] U.S. car companies. General Motors, Ford.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The worst one. But to me, yeah, Ford and General Motors is Chevy. Those always seem like the two big ones. Then Chrysler seems...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Population of Detroit in 1950 was 1.8 million and now it's 632,000. Wow. It's smaller than Nashville now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read a few articles. It's just a variety of things. The car companies, everybody came there for car companies and then now they're, you know, spread out all over the place. So, um, but it's just been every decade. It's just decreased, decreased, decreased for a variety of reasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the Red Wings have won more Stanley cups than any American.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lions have the longest NFL postseason wind drought. Their last win was 1991. They're one of four teams that have never made the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1934, Detroit Lions owner George Richards came up with the idea to play football on Thanksgiving Day to draw more fans, and this tradition has continued ever since.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now there's three NFL games on Thanksgiving Day, but the Lions are always one of them. The Cowboys are always one. So the Lions had...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lions had Barry Sanders, one of the greatest runbacks of all time, retired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At 31. Tired young. He was 1400 yards from breaking the rushing record. Retired.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Retired because the team was so bad. Calvin Johnson, one of the best receivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean the season they retired, they had great years. It's not like they were showing, they were going down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as a Lions fan, I mean, it's so frustrating to your best players in early because your team's so bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Pistons went back to back NBA championships in 89 and 90, and then again in 2004. Right before, it was in between, this is my heyday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was Magic and Bird and then when they were kind of phased out, but before Jordan started winning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the Pistons, they were the bad boys and, and active back championships. And then Jordan took over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Michigan football is one more games that any team in college football history. They're known for their dominance of Notre Dame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Michigan stadium is the largest stadium in the western hemisphere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about the Eastern hemisphere? No one talks about it. They don't. They don't. North Korea had the second largest. I looked it up, the largest stadiums in the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna set him up for a joke. Oh. Cause it's in Wichita where old Chicago is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh. Oh. It's gonna be an old Chicago callback. That's right. Yeah. No. That's good. Nevermind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can be there. I was going to say, you ever been to game there? You ever been to old Chicago?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cross in the Woods is a Catholic shrine. Are we doing no more serial talk though?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like Kellogg's dominates post, but what's post big cereal?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know the live cereal commercial with Mikey? I remember it a little bit. It was a classic commercial. From the 70s. Never seen it. You ever heard of it? No. Tricks are not for kids. I remember that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so there's a giant cross in the woods, some Catholics made it, who cares, right? Let's move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just kind of weird. You'd think it'd be somewhere like Brazil or Rome. Rome. I guess I missed that when we did the Kentucky episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, uh, one president from Michigan. You've already named him. Gerald R. Ford. Gerald Ford. Thomas Jefferson.

[Assistant] Pennsylvania. Wisconsin. Lebanon. Tennessee. Omaha, Nebraska. Wow. Wow. Couple of guys came close though. To being born there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a big. I'm not saying remember, you've never seen that or? No. Pull that up. It's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't count all the ballots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's the celebrity from Michigan you think of?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll never know. Um, Eminem, I mean, he is Michigan. He wasn't born in Michigan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he was, at least until he was a teenager before he moved. Oh, he's like southern? If you count Missouri, I think that Midwest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe he was- Made him in a factory. Oakland A's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bart Reynolds? Elizabeth Berkeley? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Flint Michigan had some water problems. I think we all know about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just, uh, I mean, it's still kinda going on. I think a judge just approved a $600 million settlement for the victims.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but there's still, there's still some, yeaah, that seems very low. 626 million. There's still few homes that the pipes still haven't been replaced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They keep pushing back the deadline to get everything fixed. It's now August of 2023.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think a few people. Some of it I think has to do with the homeowners being suspicious and doesn't want people on their land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. CME Pro? Oh yeaah. I just watched that the other day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is an interesting story. In 1979, Saddam Hussein


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Iraqi's president donated a half million dollars to the Sacred Heart Chaldean Church in Detroit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had Chaldean, I guess, is a sect of Iraqis and they had come to the US and worked in Detroit for the car companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This huge Chaldean, um, like we have the most Kurds in Nashville. Detroit has the most Chaldeans. So Saddam was saying donate a half million dollars to help this church out. He was given a key to the city of Detroit from the mayor of Detroit. They all loved him. And the church's pastor said, um, he was very generous, a warm man. He just got, let too much power go to his head. So they've obviously backed off of that much. When was that? 1979.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then about 11, 12 years later is when, you know, things got dark. We first went to war with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 79, I was second grade maybe. First or second grade. Alright, uhm, that's probably a good place to wrap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's that thing, that thing that, you know, it shows that one of these guys, yeah, it's always got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you see if you can find a picture of this one? It's in my...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's one last one. The name Kalamazoo has become a metanome. Does anyone know what metanome is? I don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what it is, I was hoping you would know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you said this guy, that guy's from Kalamazoo, you may not literally mean Kalamazoo. It may just mean exotic place. Timbuktu to Kalamazoo is, means that they're just from some exotic place. So today in Kalamazoo, now they embrace it and they sell shirts with the phrase, yes, there really is a Kalamazoo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I mean, Google maps has done a pretty good job. Yeah. Yeah. I would say they, I would say they take it on old rand. Do you trust them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I mean, I'm not for it, but yeah. I mean, what are you going to do? You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, I don't, yeah. I mean, exactly. If you use Google maps and you're the, you're the thing, then they know where you're at and they know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like Lyft, when I'm in a city and I land, uh, like it, a lot of times, if I've been to that city before, it will know, it will basically predict where I'm headed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if I, if I land at the national airport and pull up lift, it has the address for my house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cause I put it in there before, but if I'm in some other city that I've been before, it will give me directions to the hotel that I stayed at last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. I mean, not directions, but it'll pull up in there. You want to go there? Yeah. You want to go to the?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well you know what? I did clear the other day and, uh, I said, uh, I said, can I do the fingers instead of the eyes? I said, I feel like when I do the eyes, it's burning my eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she, the girl laughs, she goes, I'm laughing because do you think that when you look at your cell phone? I go, yes, every time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm about to try to get a flip phone. I'm going to try to keep the smartphone, but get a flip phone too. I would like a flip phone. That's what I want to do. Yeah. When I don't need the smartphone, like for travel, just carry the flip phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just leave it at home. Even when I'm at home, I don't need the flip phone. I can check emails on my computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it'd be much harder on a flip phone. I think you could do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's just, I just would like to have a phone if my wife needs me, but uhm, yeaah, I don't need all that other stuff. All the time. What if she just hit smoke? She just what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why you gotta get that aisle seat. I mean, that's why, I'm always an aisle seat person. That way you can walk around. I used to be window two, right now I'm an aisle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I took a direct flight of two hours to uh, Virginia for Norfolk this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I will, I'll be honest. I was like, I'm used to connecting. So I'm used to being on a plane about an hour that I was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like to get up and- Oh, well look at here, look at here. But I, but I still, I would not choose the connection over the, over the correct. Nonstop, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It also depends on what, what, what are you going to be encountering when you get out? Like, you know, when you stop, or is it going to be good restaurants? Are you going to get to lay down?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I fought, I flew United one time, first class, and they had seats that you could lay down in. Like the seat would completely recline back.

[Assistant] I'd maybe do that. I would say nine and then sleep all night in a hotel and then do nine the next day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not, you know, two hours to Dallas, spend the night and then do the other two out to California. Yeah. That's what Brian does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said how long though, and that's why I said 24 hours I think would be the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though you just said Virginia Beach was two and you're like, man, I got to get off this thing. Well, yeah, but it's like, it is the thing of like, we still got to get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? So like, let's just do it. I would hope for better seats than so.

[Assistant] Starting us off with our partner, Athletic Greens. All of us are trying to take our AG1 by Athletic Greens every day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deadly alcohol withdrawal seizure. I mean, that's intense. Good for you, Peter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just quit. I did just quit. I mean, I, I haven't drank in 11 years and I was drinking like, I dunno, at least six days a week, getting pretty hammered and I was trying to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I would take one day off a week and I think that helped me in the end because I think it's when people are just doing it every day. I would always try to do a sober day and I think that helped me to where my body didn't become so dependent on it, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I quit drinking and smoking in the same day, cigarettes, and I was like, I felt great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not particularly that day, but I started feeling so good that I was like, I never want to do that again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people learn things at different times too. And they just, you know, not everybody learns the same. I think we're all expected everybody to read exactly the same, to learn exactly the same. And it's just not the way it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm struggling too, Sean. I have a baby being born soon and I don't have a name, so I'm with ya. Mhm. Ashinda was tough though. Slay, anything goes with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not, not problems. I will say, a lot of Nateland people come to my shows now, and I get told by comedy clubs all the time how nice and, and, and polite and how well, uh, my, my audience tips. And it just, uh, feels good. I mean, it is. It feels like we have a good, like, classy bunch of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess you're doing it to, in a way that makes you feel good, but I don't think you're doing it to feel good. I'm not like I'm depressed. I better go give some money to some homeless people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But is it possible to do something that makes you feel good but not do it because it would make you feel good?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I think that as long as if you're not doing it to make yourself feel better. Flat Earth guy, go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. If you're not doing it to make yourself feel better, then that's not your motive. That's what it says. There's no selfish motive. That's what I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would go water though, because you never need to, anytime you're thirsty, you could just, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, what about maple syrup? That stuff's expensive too. It can't be. Honey? Honey too. Oh yeaah. Water, honey, maple syrup, motor oil.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, could you put salt all around your house to, as a defense? Sure, why not? But keep him away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that's the thing. Imagine how hard your sleep would be. Then you're already jumping and nothing's after you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People would think you were a paranoid schizophrenic all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because sometimes you buy cheap sunglasses at, say, the gas station. They don't look good. These look great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Texas. That's what I was about to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's very recognizable for sure. I think across the country, I think. Texas, California, Florida.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Idaho kinda looks like Florida though, in a way. What if they flipped it upside down? You might be like, oh is that Florida? Those dinosaur arms. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bird. Yeaah. I think it's Texas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oklahoma. Michigan is the hand. A lot of people really recognize that. But Oklahoma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a couple of Sears left. I just found that out. Sears? Yea, I just found that out just now. Good thing about that, they used to be everywhere. I know. It's a good story, get clothes and tools. Yeah, leaf blower and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, even though they advertise themselves as a cheesecake factor, they're like, actually we do all the, all the meal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only if you eat, you have to eat from this menu. I don't think it will be Cheesecake Factory though for me either. Waffle house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. If it's funded by the government, I'm going fine dining. I'm going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm going Western Sizzlin'. I know there's not a lot of options. You got a bunker down in the town, but you get steak, you get chicken, you get a buffet, you got salad, you got ice cream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ray Kroc didn't strike me as a guy that really cared about tradition too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, big time. Well, you gotta, you know, get a step up. They should have been a bit more savvy, but he didn't take it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He tricked him at the end with the one thing they were supposed to get some kind of royalty and he goes, that's just going to have to be a handshake. Yeah. And then he didn't live up to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's probably what it was called before and someone changed it. Like in England? Yeah, I would think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe, I don't know what Louisiana does. I think it's right that they're just trying to throw dumb things on the South. No, it's just somebody internet or Wikipedia. Yeah, I don't know. Nobody calling it cats out here. I've never met a person in my life. We don't like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they put it in corn meal. That's how someone told me that it was invented. So you put it in corn meal, the hot dog and corn meal, and then fry it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean this is a, this is a hamburger they forgot to close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Meet the guy though just to get the correct pronunciation. Worst is sheer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How are they? Good? Delicious. That's cool, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's what it ends up being when you travel all the time. Time consuming. I'm asking my wife to water the garden all the time. Is it hard? It's not hard. I think it's great. I love it. I mean, I'm not a full on farmer, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're out there every day looking at it. I love looking at it. I mean, that's my favorite thing. Yeah. How long does it take to grow a strawberry? Well, I planted these plants last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they grew strawberries last year, but this year, I mean, it's just, I mean, it's just popping. I mean, this thing, I'm picking them every morning, giving them to my daughter for breakfast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Average ripening time. I can't tell you those real answers. I'm just telling you what I, what I, you know, they start coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet not around here. Nah, I bet not. It's cold too long here. And it gets cold, like too cold. Like there's certain plants that you can grow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll be tough. Yeah, I don't think so. Maybe South Tennessee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe around Pulaski. We're like in climate zone seven, which is the same as New Jersey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the climate growing zone though, it's like a seven, seven, yeah, I mean it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's bizarre, but I think it is about the same. What is, so what does that mean? Climbing zone. What's like, it has a, um, something to do with how... Like this is in the Farmer's Almanac. Uh, no, I just, you know, I looked this up on the internet. You just keep an eye on this. I bet it, yeah, but it's like, where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now this is not, this is not, this is climate, this is not farming. Okay. This is just climate stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alabama would be like six and then we would be like seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thick in the yellow right there. Cause we're up high elevation too. Maybe Knoxville could do it. This is all based on your.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last year was pretty cold. A lot of stuff died for people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But McMinnville is really popping. I mean, in McMinnville, all my, almost all my fruit trees survived. That little red dot there. And I didn't, probably McMinnville and I didn't water them at all last year. I mean. Yeah. So you should probably do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did stand up once there, it did not go well. Jukebox Comedy Club?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did comedy at the jukebox there in Peoria and about uh, 12 people came and uh, it was good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then a building caught on fire next to it. And after the show, me and all the audience went out there and watched this building burn. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. It's middle America, right? Yeah. More fun than the show, I think. People are like, this is, now this is what we came for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was snowing a little bit. We couldn't tell if it was ashes coming or snow. I mean it was, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Illinois was just Chicago. I just thought everything in Illinois was a giant city. Me too. And then I went up and started doing shows and I drove through a lot of corn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Things are different. Probably then. Watch your cows, people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took you 120 years. I think if I were her, I would have moved, would have took my cow and got out of town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, that's what seems like conspiracy about it. Go ahead and burn some stuff down, get some people out of there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is why, another reason why I thought everyone in Chicago, uh, and, and Illinois would be rich, because every John Hughes movie, everybody lives in a big, huge, giant house. Yeah. Uncle Buck, Home Alone, uhm, I don't know. That's all. Oh, that's all I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Uncle Buck's living in Chicago and goes to the suburbs to his family. Home alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, are you gonna take paternity leave from this podcast?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're all pretty expensive now. Yeah, if you get a brand new one, yeah, I'd say low thirties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like mill. Mill. Mill kit. They're making the kits at the mill. Yea, meal. It's a kit to make a mill. At the meal mill. At the meal. What are y'all making?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love a daytime show. I wish I could do 12 p.m. comedy and then have the rest of the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I did the first hour and I was like, that's so good, uh, I've got it. So the next show I was very relaxed. I was relaxed the first one. I wasn't nervous at all about this. It just felt good. I was surrounded by good people. The audiences were hot. And then, uh, but the second show,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I did the same jokes and did like 15 minutes more time. Really? I don't know how that, but I slowed down. I did extra parts to jokes. I got into it. Had a little guy that kept yelling out, but I was able to make it funny every time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to kind of keep that first yell that he did. Cause I think that was a fun moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, now no yee-yees, but I'm gonna get the yee-yee joke going for the next set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I already had too many jokes in this one, so. Oh, that's good. So I'm, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, we're all out yeet yeet next. I'm ready.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I'm sick of those jokes. I mean, I've been telling them a long time and I like them, but I, prepping for this, I got real sick of those jokes. But it felt good. I mean, when you're up there, you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the last time I have to tell these jokes. I can still tell them if I want, but it's the last time I have to tell them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, as you're working on it, you're like doing it over and over again. And you're like, I'm pretty sick of this. But when it came showtime, I was, I took two days off. I didn't think about comedy at all. And so when I got out there, it was, you know, it was fun to say it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Cause you also have been working these jokes where it's like, it's a pretty good chance this joke's about to work. So you get to roll into a joke with confidence. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Knoxville was fun. I liked Knoxville a lot. Uh, the people that came out was great. I had people from my high school come, uh, up to see me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so, uh, but I'll give them a shot. I know they listen to the podcast. Kyle Hester.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, oh gosh, uh, Angela, Angela Venafaro, they both came, I went to high school with them, it was great, great to see them, they came hang out with me after, it was awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, yeah, it was just great. I mean, Knoxville was fun. The night before, I was just sitting at the hotel with, with my opener, Alec Parent, and we were having some little cigars and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This girl, this lady is hanging out out there and she seems a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, a bit off, but she seems like a nice, she's drinking tall boys by herself. And she's like, can I come sit with you guys? And we were like, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then she comes over, she sits like in between, we're sitting side by side on a park bench and she like wedges her way in between us and then starts wanting to tell stories. And it's like, she wants to, she goes, it's a long story. And I was like, well, we got time, you know, but we're being real jokey, you know, she's like, oh, you're going to let me tell my story. And I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as we can interject our jokes and commentary, you can tell it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then she would get into it and she'd get real emotional. And then she would just like freeze up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it would seem like she was about to cry but then her hands would like and her feet would lift off the ground and she would just like freeze. Like for a long uncomfortable amount of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like at one point she was like, I'm going to write a book. And we were like joking with her, like, why don't you do a one woman show? You know? And then she freezes up for like the fourth time. And I'm like, well, maybe the book is the way to go. You know what I mean? Maybe written word is your, but then I saw Mike Kaplan was doing a show in town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we had time, so I thought, let's walk down and see Mike Kaplan. And I don't know him, but I thought it'd be fun to see the show. And she was like, well, I'll walk with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, well have you ever been to a comedy show? She said no. And I go, well if you get kicked out, you're on your own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we get to the venue, we finally find it, and then I realize I'm like off a week on the day. There's no show at all. So now we've just strolled around the city with this lady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then eventually she, I go into a store and she walks off and leaves Alec and we just, we were free. I mean, we thought we'd never be free and then suddenly we were. We saw her later at the hotel, so we know she made it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was this woman barefoot? That's how I'm picturing her. She had slip on shoes and very often she would slip them off and be barefoot. She told us she lived in the woods in a house in Pennsylvania, in the middle of Pennsylvania. Her name was, she was going by Tam. Seemed like someone you'd love.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I love talking. Listen, I, I mean, I always find myself talking to the weirdest people and I love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I am all about it, but at some point it's like sometimes you can't get away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're like, this has been a fun time, but now I'm ready to like, I'm ready to wrap it up. Yeah. I'm ready to break away, get back into some normal conversation here. Tam is a good name. It is, but it was fun though. I mean, you know, I liked it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, she kept, like, one time she grabbed my arm, and then about the time some guy was walking by, he goes, what's up, Dusty? And I'm like, oh, that's all I need to do. So I was like, yeaah, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but she also was like, apparently her card stopped working at the hotel. And so the front desk guy was like this 21 year old dude and he just kept giving her beers out of the cooler. And I'm like, I don't think this is the way to go. I mean, I don't. Where was it? What hotel were you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's being charged to the room, but they were saying her card wasn't working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they were like, we know she's got money, but her card's not working. I'm like, well, how do you know she has money?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was she wearing? Uh, well, she, you know, she was dressed normal, but she had slip-on shoes. Like a dress? Like she thinks she's part of a wedding? She said she was down because her daughter just graduated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wanted to tell it, but then she would get like real emotional and it would just take her soul. And I was like, we don't have to talk about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I had quite a bit of a cigar and I was trying to save my voice. I was like, I have time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can sit and listen. Yeah. But I was like, you gotta be, you can't be freezing up like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it made you rethink it until you run into a baboon on the trail. Yeah, you're probably right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, when you're so good, sometimes you throw a knuckleball and when you don't even intend to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if they ask you, you pitch so good they ask you to join the team? What will you do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're like, and we're like, how do you do it though? He's like, I don't know. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the type of class I'd like to take now. When I was that age, college age, I would have hated it, but now I would like to take this. I'm not going to, but I would like to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting that they say that and then they say that they think dinosaurs evolved into birds. Maybe all along we've just been finding cassowary bones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, every one of the bones is a cassowary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're like, they're like, oh yeah, it's a dinosaur, but the dinosaur evolved into a bird. And they're like, well, maybe it was just always a bird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been chased by a goose before. I mean, birds can get wild. I mean, they can. Goose are really mean. This one's doing a great job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and a lot's really happening to you on this podcast today. What do you mean? Well, you, you're having trouble with the Google. People have been coming at you about your, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I wouldn't say that's useless. I mean, we drive all over the country, or at least have driven all over the country, so we need to know about moose. Car accidents. I didn't know it. I've driven all over the place and didn't know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the wildlife people are not farmers, so they don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean even a rabbit, one little cute rabbit can come into your yard and eat all the crops you've been growing. Just like that. It could be like, oh this rabbit's so cute, and then it just eats everything you've been working to grow. Did something happen to you? Yeah, what happened? Several times. Rabbits, deer, groundhogs, they'll just eat everything you've been working to grow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't even say, like if the rabbit came up, tapped on the door and was like, hey, appreciate that. Then, it's acceptable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that's encouraged, but you can. I think Thomas, one of them wrote that one, Thomas Jefferson? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he, I don't think he wrote it, but I think he like took some books out and was like, this is the Ben Franklin Bible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the Catholic Bible, like Maccabees is in some other stuff, but I think they're saying the Catholic Bible, Maccabees is part of it, but like other Bibles it's not in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I had a bet that I put out about peeing on ants. Yeah. And, uh, uh, I would win. I mean, every time that's why the ant, the whole podcast that we did versus ants. I mean, I would, I would win. I would beat the ants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't even know if that kills them. No, it doesn't kill them, but it, it will slow them down. Messes up their day. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how long you pee. He's starting to stop that much. Ants, they got nothing on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I agree. I think it's no chance with the lion. So at least you're like, I don't know. These are just birds. Maybe I can do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I think if you can get one by the head, you can swing it around and it's a weapon now. And if you can get a couple, now you got a couple weapons. Interesting. Just flapping them around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Ripping off beaks, using your, you got your own little beaks now on your fingers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put the head of us like in your fingers like this with their neck and like slip it out and I think you could rip their head off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It all depends on how vicious you can be, right? If you, if you're just playing, I think they take you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And are these 12 year olds neighborhood kids or are they, you know, living out on the streets?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're great. I rode it around your neighborhood and it's awesome. I was pedaling at first and you were like, you don't have to pedal. And it was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] going down there and, and doing, you know, 25 takes. And, uh, I feel in the end, they did get a good side of me. One of my favorite things is they also included these cards in the tweets where they said, who was your favorite cameo? And they still listed me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even remember that guy being a bartender while we were there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for having us. I had no idea Keith Urban was so tatted up. He's a cool guy. He's a rockstar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, always lock that inside lock when you're staying at a hotel. I don't know who's not locking that lock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who, who, it says Brennan reportedly screamed when he found Neil on his toes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it is good to know. Nothing like showing up to a show and you're like behind a column. Yeah. You know? It is good to know. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have an animatronic Rodney Dangerfield that you push a little button and he moves and tells jokes. Does that count as a robot? You talking about an electronic action figure?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Save for if, unless it doesn't work well, the dog comes out, nobody's in there. It's just people all over the place. Well, I guess that's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. San Francisco, I think. You go down a road. We're going to use a moral-less, uh, robot to police people. And then they start arming it. Yeah, yeah. That's going to be a real problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, then they'll have robots to just arrest us. So there'll be no talking to the robot to be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cause, you know, you could do something wrong and then like have a little conversation and then maybe they go, alright, we're gonna write you a warning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the robot has none of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well a robot that's taking our trash, that seems like would be very nice to it. Mhm. And a robot trying to give us a ticket.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So someone just told me their son used AI to write his, he ran for like some kind of class president or something and used AI to write his speech. Like to, to when?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if you did, but the giraffe talks to a mouse acrylic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if it's on a, if it's oil painting on a canvas, you can at least even feel the texture. That's true. I mean, uh, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, you're just selling too much art. You're just selling too, you know what I mean? It's like, oh, you can't go to the post office, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're putting your stuff onto me. That's not, I don't have any.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many paintings are you boxing up? Yeah. Yeah. You know what? I went to a thing like that this weekend too in Knoxville and they had these little ceramic things and it was like, uh, they had some little mushrooms for like $20. It was too much for the mushroom, but I've been trying to decorate this one little bathroom with mushroom stuff. I like it. I'm into it. So I wanted to buy it. I had $20 in my hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lady's like fumbling around with her square and tr- and then there's like, I assume her husband's sitting in a chair behind there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm like, all I want to do is give you this money and leave with this thing. And the guy sits there. He never addresses me. He never, he never moves. And I ended up walking off because I'm not going to stand here all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just feel like the, the, it's like you're down here already in the hot sun. Stand up, take the money. Are you selling too many of these $20 mushrooms? That you'd rather pack it all up than take the $20 from the hand?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, yeah, I mean, I, I did not realize the painting was that price, so I just, I just- That changes everything. It really does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I'm miserable because I still, like, if people buy stuff off my merch, uh, and I am working on it, I am working to get out of this, but if people go to my website and buy something, I go to the post office. I hate it now, but because I've been doing that for years, right, and I've not dealt with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if you're waiting tables and they're like, can you get me another drink? And you're like, yeah, it's downstairs.

[Assistant] I hear that the writer strike that's happening right now is actually a part of it is that AI can now write TV scripts. Somebody was saying like Ted Lasso or something, I don't know if that's a show, they used that example, but had AI wrote an episode of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it was one that was used, but it erode an episode that was as good as the other. Yeah, look up AI Ted Lassen. And so that's like, you know, people could lose writing jobs because, and I don't know if this is true, this is just people talking. I heard this.
