[Assistant] We, uh, if you're at the Bridgestone show, we have like the intro is kind of that same kind of thing. I think we're going to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have a good intro there. And I mean, I know a lot of people are traveling for this and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I've never, I mean, I can't wait. It's going to be, uh, crazy. Yeah, dude. It's going to be, uh, overwhelming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do people do the picture where you hold your phones up? I guess you don't need to hold... Like, Bridgestone made everybody hold their phones up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you could do that. I think you can get the good, I think there's lights and like the way it's lit up, you can see people, like, you know. Is it going to be late enough where it's dark for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know what time the show is. I mean, I think they time it out to be like that. That's the thing that might be chilly. Like, uh, you know, I don't know what the weather is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So weather, Denver, Denver, Colorado, uh, 70, Wednesday, heavy intensity rain. Oh wow. Not good. Uh, 77 degrees, a little over 55.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but it's, it looks like it's supposed to rain, but it'll be all off and on and then, uh, precision luckily doesn't pick up till showtime. And, uh, that's good. Oh man. Uh, well hopefully it'll pass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be about the audience. The audience is going to sit through that one. Take your shirt off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, why would they think it's okay? A thousand people just think, well, let's just go. 1971, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's weird. The cool thing too is you get to sign a rock on it. I mean, it's like there's rocks when you walk down, uh, cause I've been shown that and you sign like before you go on. And I mean, it's just anybody on earth that you've ever seen. Everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, this cheers really worked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you walk up to that. It's pretty crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Old too. Super old. Cosmo formed there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember seeing that, not to, you know, but he did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long time ago. It's kinda crazy if you think you'd see Cosby there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Seems kinda crazy. Yeah. Uh, but he was there and then, uh, yeah, I mean, it's, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, that's awesome. And then, uh, yeah. It's. And that's tonight. Tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tonight? Can't wait. Yeaah, it's gonna be crazy. Uh, I was gonna say something, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The starship pilot was the JP sports, JP sports was a Jefferson pilot. Yeah. Oh, Marty, Jefferson airplane got tore up last night. Do you hear about Marty? No, Marty, you know, Jefferson airplane. He got knocked out last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stills and Nash? You go, not Nash. Steven Stills. Nash Young? What is Nash's name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm. Crosby, Stills, and Nash. But you don't, the Young, I don't ever think about. Cause he wasn't always with him. Neil Young wasn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty sure, right? Yeah, I mean they have these songs. You know that song though? I know that song, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they're great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do. You and Elton John? Me and George Strait. I think I might, what's Elton John's birthday? March 23rd. Wait, 20th. Is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'll be, yeah, there's a chance I'll look like I'm 34. Yeah. You're like at a robot surgery. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, well it probably can't be forced. I wouldn't think you're like, you know, it's like, you gotta go do it. Uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I bet they said we're going to do the shortest concert ever. They told the crowd that they all came out. Yeah. I would go to that. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, that's like a tough situation cause it's, uh, you know, there is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the, like, you know, the audience, the crowd there wants to see it. Honestly, probably everybody around them is like, you could just keep it going to Paul McCartney.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just one of those like, you're like, I do get it. You just go like, all right, you know, yeah, it just was a different dude is Bruce Finsley and Paul McGartney. So we kind of let them do whatever, you know, it's like a different kind of thing. But that being said, I mean, like you go let every, like if you're in that neighborhood and you're like, it's a noise thing, it's 10 30 and you're like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's a lot of famous singers that are going to Elton, what have Elton John and, uh, someone comes out and he comes out and he goes, well, I want to do more. And you're like, so now you could be like, these people have a month of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Concerts that go over 1030. It's a pretty good month though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're doing Beatle songs, probably. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They're like just, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's probably too many, you know what's funny is like, there's almost too many crazy nights now. Like it's like, but it's oh, I mean back then, when was this? Like 2012. So it's like, I mean, that's probably the beginning of that where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We almost have, there's too many famous people right now and they're all still active.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're all meeting and they're all doing stuff and everything's. Remember when you like, I can't believe this movie's, uh, De Niro and Pacino or can you believe it together? Now they're in 40 movies and they both still act. They're still in everything. So you have, like, there's a lot of like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all this kind of crazy thing. They would have probably let that happen if they're not like, they done like they do this stuff all the time. Like who cares? Like not who cares, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just like the, the, the, the, like, can you believe everything can't be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This like once in a lifetime, that's everybody calling everybody the goat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a 50 goats. So you're just, anybody's a goat. Everybody's like, so like that kind of idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is like, but he, Bruce brings things to go. Well, he's actively touring like it's 1971.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I don't know what to tell you. Like it's, you know, it's like, how many...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like you're almost, there is no mistake. There is no like, oh, this guy ducked out for a while. You're like, no, this guy, and I'm not going out to Bruce Fing because people love Bruce Fing. Uh, I've met Bruce Fing. Uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, i over any of them, like garth brooks, garth brooks goes away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're like, all right. And then it's like, ah, he's just tours now. He's, he's never, you know, all these bands are like, I'm retiring. Rolling Stones are, these are only the only famous bands we've ever had are still out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was, and that was classic, that was old rock, right? Yeaah. So your old rock, your old channel is still just the Beach Boys. It's the same song. Still tour. Yeaah. You go, like none of these people stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Farewells, what? Elton John, what? You don't think he's gonna not tour? Like, I mean, they give you all the chances to be like, if you missed them, it'd be like, I don't know how you missed them, dude. Like, they toured forever. You gotta be so like Tony Bennett.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but they're still touring, like it's, it's, it, it just kind of, it's the, you do this farewell stuff. It's just like that, like ah, it's Bruce freezing Paul McCartney going up together and you're like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I mean you're probably gonna see that, you've either seen it on TV or you can watch a video of it. It's not like a special, there's too much of like, can you believe this guy is coming out to this? Like there's not, and there, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking back when a city shuts that down, they go, I don't, Paul McCartney comes out all the time on everybody's thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, these people in this town do not care that it's Paul McCartney again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's cause they're, yeah, it's like a... You gotta let it go. You gotta, well, they're awesome. Money to be made. Kiss Live is awesome. I think, that's what I always heard, like, they were like, it was, they put a lot into it. Yeah.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you have one baby. I have one baby and I'm about to have another. Okay, wow. Oh, joke. Now I did not know you were having a baby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That fits with the Huxley. Huxley is unbelievable. And that's a, that's a vibe that is in that family. That's probably not going to be yet, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You probably can find a great name. A lot of people think about it. Well, that's what I'm saying. I'll take suggestions. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First pitch. First guy on this podcast to do first pitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the fun part with mine that I'm still going out is all of her softball team is going to go out with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not doing it alone. Like the man, the myth, the legend who demanded alone time. He would like the visiting team to turn around in their dugouts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last, last season. Oh so you're the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think your son's gonna, uh, your son's gonna show up and just be like, phew, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I bet this is gonna be a fun time, dad. How you doing? You're like, son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you just had it in this, in the roof. Yeah. If you didn't want it, you know. Yeah. Yeah, just paint yourself. That's tough. Yeah, you could paint yourself. Wear a hat. Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All right. Got a new job. Uh, all right. That's it. Oh yeah. You're, you're, you're basically, we love you all. See you next week.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea. Darius Rocker, Steve Young, Eric Church, Larry Fitzgerald. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breaking Bad to me is like top 5 show all time. Yea, it's my favorite. Really great. And it went out on top 5 seasons of, it was great, it hit it's stride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ozark was three seasons, I think. Three or four, I can't remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right, you go out on top? Yeaah. That's why, this will be Nate's last special coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people believe radio is actually the best medium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For baseball. They actually prefer it to Wanda Lee on TV. Yeah, Dusty is very wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want to go see Nate Barghese at Bridgestone? Who's that? Is that Ronnie's boy? Is that Ronnie's boy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Well, this is an interesting question. Who do you trust more, the, the geneticists or your second cousin?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what we're here for. That's why we're labeled an educational podcast. You will pick up stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're all in their own orbit. They're all over the place. I would guess at some point they could be all lined up though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was founded. It takes hundreds of years to get all the way around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're almost back to a full revolution for Pluto.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you have seen that if somebody didn't put the picture of Pluto next to it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just said its not a planet. They just said its no longer classified as a planet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, here's a picture of Texas compared to some of the larger countries in Europe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I think this is the fresh off of, this is in the mid to late nineties when this happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you remember the scene in the Sixth Sense where they make the kid do free riding?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's just horrible, crazy stuff written all over it. That always scared me from doing that. I don't know what's going to come out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I don't know what's going on in my head. Yeah, enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I used to write out stuff word for word, like a speech. And let me tell you, you could tell when I was up there. I was just reading it from my head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen to this, effective advertisements. I watch a lot of TV commercials. A lot of them I don't think work on me. Home Depot. Look, you're not going to get me excited to do yard work. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have a lot of collections. I collect a lot of stuff. I collect baseball cards. I told you I collect room keys. I collect, uh, digital watches now. I collect DVDs. A lot of stuff with no real value. So I'm just bleeding money. So I need ways


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make money, to make cash. That's why I want to tell you about a new favorite way to save, Upside. It's an incredible app for anyone who buys gas, groceries, or dines out. I do all three of those things. With Upside, I get cash back on every purchase that I can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To have extra money for these hobbies that I just described to you. It's basically just giving cash back for just being yourself. And then, what's better than that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're using this app, it can really offset inflated prices by giving you cash back on purchases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 25 cents back for every gallon on your first tank of gas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's going to add up. Next claim an offer for, for whatever you're buying on upside, then pay as usual with a credit or debit card, follow the steps in the app and get paid in comparison to credit card rewards or loyalty programs. You can learn, you can earn three times more cash back with upside. This is a no brainer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Between gas, and I was buying a lot of my groceries at gas stations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I was spending more on gas stations than rent, like for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get okay stuff there. Especially if they got the little rack with like sandwiches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I do that a lot now. It's fun to do. You don't want to have to go. Cause I, the worst, literally one of the top five things I hate doing the most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if you do, the curse is gonna be that much more powerful when you really need to use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was funny you went to pulled my cra- you just jumped down a line. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like your brain got to the end of that, that line and just reaching out for anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't read left to right or right to left, you read left and right to center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Truth in wrestling? Yeaah. You don't think, like, maybe, let's get, uh, Kiel to do another multiple choice question for his class. In what way? He's, as what he did for


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well what does it mean for them to have human?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intelligence. Can they all of a sudden talk like human beings and communicate with each other?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though they have the intelligence of a human, they don't have the morality of a human. So they'll just go in there and just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is an award-winning photographer, uh, photograph of an ant's face. And I gotta tell you, it looks terrifying. Looks terrifying. Now just think of that thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have the ability to think like a human being. And they can lift your, I mean. That's the other thing. Yeah, they're exceptionally strong. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think you're saving grace if you're a human being is these ant colonies are not going to be, there's no central organization with the ants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it just never stops. It's just the sheer numbers for you. That seems to be the thing holding you back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just imagine if this thing had hopes and dreams and aspirations and ambitions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's loyalty. I think there's loyalty between ants. I think push comes to shove. There's loyalty among humans too. I have to believe that. Right now we're faced with the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somebody comes on the news tomorrow and goes, the ants have risen up. They're smarter than us. We don't care about aliens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a cow killer ant. Look at that thing. And that's a female velvet cow killer ant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could prepare myself as best I could, but it's going to be tough, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I'm going to get messed up. You're going to be exhausted. I'm very allergic to fire ants too. If they get the fire ants involved, I'm done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, fire ants aren't here in Tennessee. This is, this is another question about global organization. If I'm in Alabama, it's all fire ants down there. I'm getting lit up. Tennessee, I like my chances a little better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you bring the fire ants? I might have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There aren't, I've never seen fire ants up here. I feel like in Alabama they're a problem. Like you're walking around and there's just- What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're not- Or their mouth wasn't big enough to bite you. Yeah. I mean, look, their face looks like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a big nothing where their face is. Just two little eyes, barely a mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Well, some have no purpose. They're like, they're like your appendix. Like we could just get rid of them, but I know you can't just get rid of all ants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they do. Yeah, they're decomposers. They break stuff down. What does that mean? They literally decompose things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that long, not as long as you think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was elementary school recess. We used to have a competition of who could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who could leave their hand in the ant pile in August?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, let me tell you, I won. And I was, like I said, very allergic to him. And it was a real big problem. I mean, I was swollen up like a balloon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. It's about you telling me you're going to, I'm going to let some kid beat me. Yeah. From that to Notre Dame is in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Bill Bates was the head football coach at Fairmount college, now known as Wichita state university from 1905 to 1908. So they have a history of being great. Yeah. Being great. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bomb is the scorpion. Okay, that's what I'm saying. They just throw like scorpions over there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This city, I tell you what, I don't know the town I grew up in. I'll tell you that much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we think, God forbid somebody does this to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 1958, they released 600,000 mosquitoes in Avon Park, Florida. We've been doing this to ourselves for decades. Operation Dropkick, this is called.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So next time a mosquito is bothering you, remember who's at fault here. The United States government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you feel good about your, your house if the ants come to life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the head and the body, do they operate independently? Like is the head still going? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he is almost just as like an arbitrarily, just infinite number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you need like a year to get prepared. Just go up on your...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's boats everywhere now, everybody's dead. So the ants have a way, they look up the schedule of the ferry. And then they're like, well, at least at three o'clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in this hypothetical they not only have the intelligence of human beings, they have all of our knowledge too. I think they're a way to learn it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A way to learn it, but they're starting from golly, we're 30,000 years ahead of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks like more of a robot thing inside of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, here's a, here's a grasshopper. It's got a heart. Doesn't look anything like our heart. We're just, we're just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't take a day off as an incident. There's no day off. You really can't. You can't. You can't go, son, I'm just going to rest today, watching football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Human intelligence, the human ego, the human attitude, a lot of those institutions just go out the drain. They're not going to follow a queen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. We're hidin' it. But I think there's no leadership structure in place for these ants. The queen. Collectively. Those are for individual colonies. There's no main queen. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no overarching- But there could be. I bet one of the big ants becomes the main queen. Do you think they'd do it democratically? They'd have an election and then everyone would be happy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is another part we're not thinking about. So some, being with that lifespan, all of a sudden gains consciousness. I think they're grappling with existential dread the whole time. I'm going to be dead in a week, what's the point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you think if every human being on earth knew they were gonna die next week, there'd be so much war and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ooh. Alright. That's nice. Raleigh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] North Carolina this weekend. Good Nights Comedy Club. Then I'm in Lexington with Dusty and Brian. Then I'm in Omaha, Nebraska, Charlottesville, Asheville, uh, West Bend, Wisconsin, Lowell, Arkansas, Nashville, St. Louis, Lexington. I'm everywhere. Come hang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a message from a professional golfer after seeing my golf swing saying he could really help me out, send him some videos and he could help me out. Uh, Jared Wolf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last week's episode, you guys made fun of me for hanging out with teenagers in the nineties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. It's single digits, I don't think I've ever had that small.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now why in the top right there's the interactive Python course. It feels like something Nate could take and maybe be interested in. What's the node?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It helped him on Bob and Tom. He said it was the best he'd ever had because interacting with a bunch of different people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forgot to mention last week's episode you were on James Corden with Jamie Lee Curtis. We haven't talked about this. I felt like as a viewer she was a tough guest to be on with because she was so comfortable with him and so just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like we've all been at a party or somewhere where two friends are so close and you're just the third person there. I think you did great with her. I just put myself in your shoes. I think that would be hard. I don't know how you felt. We haven't talked about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now you have a joke about going on your walk. I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I was going to say something you got to be in. He was in, it was photographed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a little bit stretchin'. They weren't even in the same episode together, Entourage. That's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me do it the correct way. Because I've already done it for all of you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Marion was in Joker with Robert De Niro. Robert De Niro was in, uh, Sleepers with Kevin Bacon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think the real way to do Kevin Bacon movies as actor-actor is, it's gotta even be movies. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you were in a movie, right, with Henry Phillips? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miles Teller was in Top Gun Maverick with Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ours are together. We were in Sprung with Garrett Dillahunt. He was in No Country for Old Men with Tommy Lee Jones. Tommy Lee Jones was in The Fugitive with Harrison Ford. Harrison Ford was in The Devil's Own with Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt was in Sleepers with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play the game, maybe I'm only done this, where name two actors, you gotta guess what movie they were in together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm drawing a blank now. Ashley Judd's in the movie. There's a lot of like, big actors in that movie that were like, uh, you know, smaller characters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite shows. Hank Azaria, uhm. Appu. Uhm, Bubba from Forrest Gump.

[Assistant] Words that you and our generation probably still say that really has gone away. Cell phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's kind of going away because, I mean, my mom still has a landline, but, but yeah, just phone. And then, uh, big screen TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like all TVs now are big screens, so people just call it TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I got one a year ago for the super bowl and I called it a big screen TV, but everybody's house I go to has a TV just as big as mine usually. So it's going to be really big now.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is your dad on that show? Uh, I don't know. Uhm, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The United Kingdom is not on, uh, you know, they left the European Union. European Union uses the Euro. That's their currency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, England a few years ago, you know, left the EU, so they used the pound. And that was Brexit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they use the pounds. So you're going to have to grab a bunch of different currency there, Nate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, are you going to do any sightseeing in England?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, yeah, I looked up the McDonald's there. I was trying to think of stuff that you might be interested in. McDonald's a little different. It's similar in, in the UK, but, uh, about 40% smaller, the sandwiches. The Big Mac's about 40% smaller. So just keep that in mind. You might need a side sandwich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did not know, like here in the US we have yellow cab. I guess the big thing in London is black cabs. So I was reading about what it qualifies to become a black cab driver and I'm like, I feel like they're missing one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I wouldn't even Google it. I was just reading about England. They're like, it's very hard to be a black cab driver in England. I was like, I bet it is. Um, but they have to go through a test basically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In London, they have to know every street, like they test them. In London, like a cop is a huge, huge city. Yeah. It's very hard to become a cab driver in London. Really? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked up some stuff for you Nate to kind of help you get ready for your trip to London.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked up some movies that might help you get into the, uh, you know, London has fallen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harry Potter was filmed there, right? In the UK?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, Ireland and the UK drive on the left side of the road, so remember that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're being a car. So then you go from the UK to Ireland, Dublin is the capital of Ireland. You might know what language they speak.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The official language is Irish, which is also Gaelic, but more people speak English. It's more widely used, but the road signs are all bilingual in Irish and English both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Guinness beer, also Dublin. It's a big, big one there. When the guy created it in 1759, he signed a lease for $50 a year, uh, for four acres for 9,000 years. He had a 9,000 year lease. They've since tore that up, but, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, uh, and the Guinness Book of World Records, of course, comes from there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you taking, are you taking Nick with you? Are you? No. Nick, I mean, Nick would be worshiped there. Cause I mean, I'm not even trying to be funny. I just read, I read this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suppose they came, the term came from here in America, when they were digging in the mines, the Irish people were the luckiest at finding gold and silver during the gold and silver rush. Oh really? Okay. So like these Irish are lucky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, a 10 Kroner. Uh, Nobel peace prize is held in Oslo, Norway. Maybe you'll win it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I didn't know that. Uh, the screen painting, one of the most famous paintings in the world is at the museum there in Oslo. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's like four different versions of the same painting. Two of them have been stolen over time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 1994 Winter Olympics was in Norway and that same time when I think the opening ceremonies were going on, some people broke in and stole one of the screen paintings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of them, uh, broke in and left a note saying, uh, thanks for the poor security. So they were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, that's what I thought. Oh, it's going to be sunny the whole time? Not probably, not in Oslo I don't think, but I think the northern part. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's close. 52 weeks a year. Even men get six weeks of full pay paternity leave.

[Assistant] Their annual income, income tax paid and total wealth is published. It's published public record.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do it to try to cut down on tax fraud. They're like, if everybody knows what everybody makes and what everybody's claiming, then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The chess thing. Yea, I should ask you guys first. Uh, but he is the number one chess player in the world and many think the greatest of all time. Yea. Still very young. Oh really? Better than the Russian guy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had the highest score, whatever, how do they ever calculate that of all time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like some huge number that they use to, I don't know, understand chess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Belgium. They're back in the EU so you can go back to EUs in the euro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, if he's right. That's a good guess. Uh, anybody? I got it pulled up right here. Is that it? Uh, well that's the dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's actually royal cheese because they don't have, uh, because they're on the metric system. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I got to see a big bag. 40% is a lot. And I think they're a lot healthier. They take out a lot of the ingredients that we use. Oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He knows Agua and. Yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you go to the Netherlands, you go to Amsterdam, which I've been to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, Van Gogh Museum. That's at Van Gogh's from Amsterdam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I got jokes about the Anne Frank House and Van Gogh Museum.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's beautiful, there's a lot of, uh, you know, uhm, canals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, we did each of those in a separate day and then we just walk around the city, you go into little shops and I don't know, the time kind of goes quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Amsterdam, everyone rides bicycles. There's more bicycles there than people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. So they have a population problem. Some people own more than one bicycle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of crazy that of all the family members, I mean, he's the only one that made it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she just died from, I mean, she was being held, but like they didn't murder her. She just died from dysentery or something. She was born the same year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of crazy to think he could still be alive. Yeaah, totally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we know where we are. Uh, this week I'll be at Stand Up Live in Huntsville with Angela Johnson. Those shows are sold out, but April 2nd, I'll be headlining Stand Up Live in Huntsville. Oh, nice. So come to those shows.

[Assistant] Did you ever see the movie What Women Want with Mel Gibson?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You remember one of these, he's in advertising and his campaign is for Nike sports. And that's the campaign that he introduces to them. I think the line is no games, just sports. When you run, cause you just tune everything else out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Asheville is a weird town, dude. Yeah, it is. You know, it's like Austin says keep Austin weird, but Asheville is, there's some odd people there. Nice people, but one show, I took a picture of it. A guy in the front just had a big shirt that just said, I poop today. And he was just wearing that. Was it a mirror?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it can be actually useful and it's not something that broad, but you can go like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ever like your, I need an analogy for this? You can just write me three analogies comparing this to this. And it can churn them out for you. It can be helpful in that way. I don't know about write me a new hour in Nate Bargesi's voice. That's not gonna be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll just, uh, run it again with the same prompt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the tweet said no need for keystrokes or voices. I created this tweet just by thinking it. Hashtag hello world. I still dedicated minded tiger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through a device placed on the chest, a machine learning algorithm will then process the brain data and translate those signals into specific digital commands. So it'll just know what you're looking at on the, on the screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, sometimes, you know, look, look, the internet's a weird place. We've been talking about it a lot. There's a lot. We need to worry about anonymity. That's a big concern for me. It should be a big concern for you. And you might think, oh, I use incognito mode on my browser. That's enough. Let me tell you.

[Assistant] Struck a nerve Jordan, I apologize. I definitely understand if you're making a movie based on something that really happened, you have to massage the story. You have to restructure it in a way to make it work for a movie. My point was that remember the Titans, they changed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fact, like things that are, the whole movie's about, they changed, like necessary, I can't figure out how to word this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you find out every team had black and white players. That's what the movie's about. So you've changed the facts in such a way that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the cookout menu by the way. I don't know if I'd get a panic attack from that, but, uh, it definitely is a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like some sweatpants there and they're a little too short.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do we talk about that's the theory that Disney did that with the movie Frozen? That they were trying to bury search results about Walt Disney's Frozen head. So they named the movie Frozen. So if you Google Disney Frozen, all of that's pushed to the side. Oh wow. That's a conspiracy theory I like to bring to the table.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just the head, they didn't do the whole body? Yea, I think the head was taken off the body. Like Dave Williams. This is what they don't want us to know. Yea. So they named the movie Frozen. I think, look, they didn't go in, they didn't create a, let's create a movie called Frozen to bury this stuff. But I think somebody in marketing was like, oh, that'll be nice. Call it Frozen. Knowing in the back of their head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or have you ever been? I, I got into it when I moved to Nashville, cause you just can't avoid it. But growing up in Alabama, nobody, surprisingly, none of my, and a lot of people in Alabama do obviously, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well let me ask you about this. Why are country music fans, you're, they're the only fans that are defensive about their genre in a way that no other genre is. Cause I feel like now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost genre-less, the music. Everything's everything. It's like, who cares what's what. But you'll hear that from country fans all the time. Well, it's not real country. Well, it's this, you have to qualify it in a way, it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you're saying that the song would come out in 1992. You're like, obviously this is not a country song. Right. But because the genre has evolved to where it was in 2018.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get with Walker Hayes. Yeah, this was four years ago now. You wrote this song. Are we ever going to hear it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is odd to put them all in the same room when I think about it. I've never thought about it until now. It's odd. It is odd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why do you choose, why do you put those, why not put the oven in there too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, put a treadmill in there too, you know, taking care of that's the taking care of your body. Good. I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You found a way to get up there anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did that with her recently. She was so cool. She took pictures with everybody. She's hanging out backstage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heads to Carolina, tails California. She's got some hits, man. I'm doing alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's named Gentleman Jim. That was his nickname. That's a fun nickname. Gentleman Jim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I did. One of the first few times I did the Opry, Colt Ford was on it and they presented him with some sort of award for how many albums he'd sold or something. He's still active. He's still writing a bunch. Dirt Road Anthem, that was such a huge song at the time, remember that? Jason Aldean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so this shouldn't, Garth Brooks, he has all the money in the world, he has all the status, whatever. You don't think at a certain point, you're just like, well, let's think about legacy. His legacy is there though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know his cause it was a house of horrors, wasn't it? I mean, he had like a terrific childhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're nine kids in that little house. And I'm guessing they've done a lot more to the yard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about you Aaron, where you at? This weekend I'm in West Bend, Wisconsin at the Bend Theater. So I think it's like an hour outside of Milwaukee. If you're in the Wisconsin...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greater area, come out and see me. Then I'm in Lowell, Arkansas next weekend at the Grove and then Nashville, Zanies and St. Louis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nate's not here again. Laura's not here this time. I got here early last night to grab this chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't have any of just me to put on a wall, but here's one of my family, so. Alright. Alright, today's episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Vinayland Podcast is always brought to you by Indeed, Helix, Viori Clothing, and HelloFresh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello guys. Hello. Alright. Naked is on the road. He will be back next week, so don't worry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, as far as we know, Nate's gonna be back for foreseeable future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's still doing action movies. And what I see that I think, cause I still want to make it, you know, as an actor, I think I could still do action movies if I get with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little Schindler's List type movie to get me really over the hump and then become an action star.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a little shot to our pride. I like, I really wanted to think I helped sell out that show in Lexington and then the next night I'm out there and you sell it. You didn't even average it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I saw more than that, but I had a lot of people say, thanks for nothing for not coming to Dusty's show, Brian. And I'm like, I was just there last month. And they're like, well, come on, we need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I had two questions for you, Dusty, before you get those comments or to anyone here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like they can sway it, but I feel like it's because of human error, because they, they're not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bud-Bowl? I feel like I've heard of that. See, I'm too old for you guys even. Bud-Bowl was where... Was it pre-Super Bowl? It was like at halftime, people would watch as Budweiser bottle versus Bud Light bottle and they played a real football game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we took it as like legit, like, ugh, this is going to be a tight one. Sometimes people talk about that more than the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my level of, uh, entertainment's a little bit different maybe than yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you make some valid points. I was thinking about some of the previous great Super Bowl commercials, the 1984, uhm, that one, the, uh, the frogs, the Budweiser. Budweiser frogs, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like last year, maybe the year before, there was a two or three periods there where they were getting sad. Like it was all trying to send a message and there was some type of thing. I don't really feel like that was this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as someone who's on their way up and about to be on these commercials, I support it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, the other thing I want to ask, uh, and this one really is more directed toward you, Dusty, is the, uh, the, uh, spy balloon and the objects they're shooting down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just all a big distraction because of something else either they're about to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait a minute, you're a Patrick Ewing fan, but you're afraid you wouldn't know how to say his name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I guess I should have worded it differently. I guess what I was trying to get at is why of all places would it be?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harlan County, Kentucky, like you think Chicago or, you know, what is it about that place is what I was trying to ask.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was asking, you know, like what, what, what, what leads to that place being so dangerous? And I think you followed up with moonshining.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw a shooting star the other night, and I wanted to ask you, what do you think that's all about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a comic, Zany's recently had a very funny joke about camp and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said, I don't know anything about air mattresses. I don't, one thing, if you're the heavier person, the two, the other person, they get the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't know that I'm going to make the cut, but Aaron, you might be young enough to be able to go someday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm surprised to hear that, Dusty, because I feel like that would be what you wouldn't agree with anything they said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't you have, you can tell this part, a party where people were watching and then you weren't, you got cut out of the episode?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I realize we never answered, really answered Scuba Steve's question about what shows we watch as a kid. For me, Dukes of Hazzard was very big. I was a big Dukes of Hazzard guy, which you're too young for that, but you would've watched it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While I was in high school they were like, we're going to do a video yearbook and this company came in to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shoot it. And they said, if you buy one, everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody in the school is going to be in this video, so you'll be in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You pay like $50 or whatever to see yourself wave for 5 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. I mean, they were just the hardness like cattle, like come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She gave you some hints too, Aaron. Home and garden line at Walmart. You can probably figure it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Road rules too. I don't, I didn't watch those. I knew Theo was on a reality show. I couldn't even tell you what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't watch any reality shows, uh, the only one I kind of watch, I mean if you count that, is Hard Knocks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just watched a 30 for 30 called the Bullies of Baltimore. And it's about the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. And it's very hard to watch as a Tennessee Titans fan because they were our nemesis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he wasn't like a vo- he wasn't Latin, he wasn't a vocal, but like, uh, Tony Suragusa was a big character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he was on some of those Ravens teams. He wasn't as, uh, highlighted as much as far as, but they were very arrogant, very cocky. Oh yeah. And, uh, you know. And good. Very good. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they kinda started the, that part of the reality shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think reality shows are so ridiculous, they just bring out the worst in people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeah. It starts off simple quickly. All right guys this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought, you know what, Valentine's Day is only 364 days away. Yeaah. Let's talk about Valentine's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now alright, so this comes out Wednesday, we're recording this on Monday, so tomorrow night's Valentine's. Dusty, how are you going to be celebrating Valentine's?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who knows this is true because I feel like they put this for everything. Suicides go up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, based on our research, you're both right, but were you and Lucy doing anything for Valentine's?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our first Valentine's, Ruth and I, I sent her flowers to her work. And I waited all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get a call, a text from her or something like.

[Assistant] Oh my gosh, you're the best. Thank you so much. All that. And I never heard anything. So then we had plans that night to go out for dinner. So I was like, all right, I guess she's just going to tell me in person, whatever. We got to dinner that night and she never says a word. And now I'm like, what is the deal?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So finally at the end of the night, I just have to ask her. I'm like, look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you by chance get something sent to you today at work? Like, I guess I said flowers or whatever. And she was like, no, no I didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then I tell her, I sent you flowers. I don't know what happened. And so the next day I call the florist and I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I get that. That's fair. But she did. And I did send flowers. And I called the next day and I said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She never got the flowers and, and they were like, yeah, we had a lot of people call out sick delivery drivers or whatever. We just didn't get to all of them. And they said, we'll just, we're going to do it today. And she's, they said, we'll just take it off your bill. And I was like, Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was over a hundred and I'm like, uh, for free on February 15th, sign me up every year for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think that's a little, that's a little high. Okay. I mean, I don't, it depends on what you get, I guess, but anyway. All right. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How Valentine started. You are correct. There's two theories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The story is the Emperor of Rome didn't want his soldiers to get married because he felt like it distracted them from being at their top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Physical fighting or whatever, I don't know, just, they need a focus. So this guy, Valentine, would secretly marry soldiers, uhm, and then they found out about it and they executed him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's kind of what you're saying. He was a martyr. He was a martyr. Then there was another Valentine story that, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now your part comes in, Dusty, because, uh, there was a, a pagan celebration called Lupercalia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and it was very pagan and then after a while, like I think a lot of these religious, uh, holidays, they did combine them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, let's just take ours and put it on the same day as theirs and then hope to kind of overtake it. I think Halloween's that way. Uhm, we've talked about some other ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Young women would line up for men to hit them with this because they believed it would make them fertile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, he was a Roman god. He was much more sinister, I think, than what we think of now. I don't know if sinister is the right word, but he wasn't like cute and chubby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he led the construction of power. Yeaah, he was the king.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Cause there's a lot of people building it. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's the contract. Uhm, you think he wore one of those helmets on site?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Valentine started becoming more of a romantic, uh, thing in the Middle Ages. Geoffrey Chaucer, English poet, wrote a Valentine's poem in 1375 and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then the Duke of Orleans, Orleans, Orleans, Orleans, uh, he wrote a poem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To his wife while he was, a letter while he was in jail. I think we talked about this in the middle ages episode and it just kind of become more and more over the years a romantic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but yes, it did not start off that way. It kinda...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I've seen pictures of Halloween at the turn of the century, like early 1900s, and those kids' costumes were scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Homemade of course, and so they would just go, go dark. Uhm, I mean those are pretty scary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know your theory on Halloween and I get it. You know, I dress my daughter up as a bunny. I don't think she's doing anything satanic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and then chocolates became a thing. Richard Cadbury. Cadbury chocolate? Oh yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. He started selling heart-shaped candy boxes in 1861.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would keep these boxes. He could promote it like, hey, even when you go with the candy, use the box to put your...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Possessions and your jewelry, your loved ones and that became it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now did you guys exchange Valentine's cards as kids? I meant to bring you guys one today, but... At school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's cool you did. I had a box that, uh, I would, like, stuff them all in. I did, like, wrapped it up. I loved Valentine's as a kid, collecting Valentine's cards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Viori asked, we asked, who do you want to wear your products? And they said, Brian has the best physique of the guys there. So they have me wearing this. This is Viori.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other way around, people should be coming up to you like, hey, I have your E, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well we all love Viori, we've gotten a few things for them, performance jogger, the core shorts, I think that's what you got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a new outlook on performance, apparel, perfect if you're sick and tired of traditional old workout gear, which we all are. Your can be right. I'm working out all the time. I wear these things out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I can use it for running, training, yoga.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also great for lounging or weekend errands. I do all of it. It's comfortable. You want to wear it.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their investment in your happiness. We're talking about Valentine's. We're talking about people getting depressed. Love. Viori. That's what you should love, guys.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so uhm, was dating, do you have any Valentine's story from like when you were in high school or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think when I'm on stage, I'm still more confident than when I get off stage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, and it had to be girls, just, hopefully it's not girls since I'm married, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you rather be on a long car ride with one person you didn't know or two people you didn't know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I looked up some great stalker stories. Do you guys remember?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have some of those in my journal. These are all women pursuing men because I feel like when it's a man stalking a woman, it gets much more sinister. Somehow it's a little bit lighter when it's the woman chasing the man. Do you guys remember the astronaut who drove from Texas with a diaper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just refresh everyone's memory. She was married, but I guess her marriage was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going nowhere was about to end. She was seeing another guy who was an astronaut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he started seeing this woman who I guess she was a pilot maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, she drove to Florida to confront her and supposedly wore astronaut diapers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds more fun to say that, right? So she didn't even have to stop driving and she had a lot of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so. I think, um, she just, once she made up her mind, she wanted to get to it and she knew that when this woman's flight was coming in, so maybe she wanted to get there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lisa Nowak, and she, so she confirmed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She confronted her in the parking lot at the airport and I guess once the woman saw who she was, she did roll down her window and then she sprayed her with pepper spray. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Lisa sprayed this victim with pepper spray. They found, uh, in her car, uh, latex gloves, a black wig, a BB gun, and ammunition. And pepper spray.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, an 8-inch Gerber folding knife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what else she had planned, but she drove 900 miles to confront this woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She might be one that would spill the beans on this whole space thing. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was a, there was a woman, this is another country, she called a guy 65,000 times in one year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, this is, I'm moved on now. This is a different lady. 65,000 times? That comes down to 200 calls a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then another woman, this is Arizona, she texted a guy 65,000 times. Same number, 65,000 texts to a guy she met online. She told him he was her soulmate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, she lived in Phoenix and she visited the guy's home and office and flooded him with threatening text messages and sometimes 500 texts in a single day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they asked her about it and she said, love's not perfect. That was her answer, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The worst moment was he was out of the country and I guess he had a home surveillance video and he could see that she was in his house. So they called police and, uh, went to the house and she was taking a bath, um, in his bathtub and she had a butcher knife in her car. So it could have been a little fatal attraction thing going on here. Geez.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Blame the blue moon. So we're three confident guys here can talk about our.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, a romantic side. What's a good romantic, uh, what's a song, Dusty, that you always go to, to really feel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when you don't have confidence, it helps you because I would never think that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You turned me onto a song by Jason Isbell of We Were Vampires? Yes. That's a great song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we talked about on the psychology episode, which is before you were with us, Dusty, that there's a psychologist that came up with 36 questions that if you put a man and woman in a room together,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have them each ask each other these questions and then the last four minutes just stare into each other's eyes, they'll fall in love. And apparently he did this with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, two people and they got married six months later. So, and I have the questions here if you want to look at Aaron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But even like, uh, that Jeffrey Chaucer poem that I didn't read it to you, I'm like, if I lived in the middle ages and they spoke English, could I even communicate with them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so different. I think I may have a better chance with someone who speaks Spanish now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet obviously is one of the most famous, maybe the most famous love story, would you say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, sorry, uh, Shakespeare wrote about real people to the point where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Cleopatra, cause I was looking up famous love stories, she and, was it Mark Anthony? Anthony? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well, anyway, that was one of the famous love stories.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I, got the name right? Alright. Alright, anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well anyway, in Shake, I'm sorry Dusty, but in Shakespeare time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in the Shakespeare, I guess, play about Cleopatra.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He dies or commits suicide and then she lets a poisonous asp, uh, bite her and kill her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, so I always thought that was really how she died, but then I looked it up and, uh, that's just from the William Shakespeare play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that movie because they write, is it a phone number on the dollar?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, or some information on a dollar bill or


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember which denomination it is, but it's a currency of money. And then they find it later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you said on your podcast recently, I had a beef with you on this. If you've got kids, stick it out, which I totally agree with. But you said if you don't have kids, hey, leave them. Go ahead, get out of there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you don't think like biblically when Jesus said it's a sin to divorce? Not if you don't have kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you don't think the wedding vows before God?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I looked up some country songs, not country, most of these are country, but just songs on revenge. Seems like most of them are country. Uh, Before He Cheats, Carrie Underwood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A couple more here, She Can't Say That Anymore by John Connolly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a great song. And then one other, I did not know this, so you guys-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, it's a great song. Uh, do you guys know the song, the night the lights went out in Georgia?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I always attribute that song to Reba McIntyre.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was actually a number one hit first by Vicki Lawrence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's a comedic actress and she recorded this. Her husband wrote the song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bobby Russell, and she recorded it and became a number one hit, her only song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this weekend I am at Healingham Comedy Club in Indianapolis. Awesome, awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weekend after that, March 3rd and 4th, I'm at, uh, Blue Ridge Comedy Club in Bristol, Tennessee. Awesome. So three great weekends come out to those shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you had some overflow because of David Tell, I think on your shows, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Nate's done a lot since he's been gone. So we got a lot to talk about. His special's doing great. He's been out there playing golf with celebrities. Mark Wahlberg. Yeah. My God. Yeah. He is living it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And usually Clemson, and then the playoffs is one surprise team gets in. This year was TCU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But your dad's been married five times? Four times. Four times, but his current wife for how long? Like 20 years. So in a way he's like, guys, I told you, I just gotta find the right one. It's not me, it's them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting killed, 27 to nothing, second quarter, and I tweeted, Jags vs TCU in the losers bracket, and people are liking it, Chad Wither was treating it, I thought, man, this is so funny, and then, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I come in on the last podcast that Titans won in the playoffs and it was pre-recorded. And it confused people this time because we weren't as clear. We did it with the Vanderbilt Tennessee game. You made it very clear. We don't know. And this time I did it again and people were like, what are you talking about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she was a Bills fan, so of course she's gonna.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, Rocket Money, guys. New year, new goals, time to manage your budget better and save some money. You need Rocket Money. Rocket Money, formerly known as TrueBill. It's a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, Desi's newsletter's free, sign up for that, but a lot of, most subscriptions aren't. I still have Adobe,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Aaron showed me some stuff two years ago. I haven't used it once. That's a perfect example of what I need to do or need to learn how to use it. Right, Aaron? Yes. Stop throwing your money away, cancel unwanted subscriptions and manage your expenses the easy way by going to rocketmoney.com slash Nate. That's rocketmoney.com slash Nate, rocketmoney.com slash Nate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You posted a picture of Greg Gumbel and I looked up his age. He's like 76.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do we know? The way I read this is maybe the mobile scanner was down or something so they had to print out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. They still do that. You can still choose to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think they're prevalent in Arizona, apparently. Hmm, prevalent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been in Chattanooga three different times the last three months. No one has not once reached out to me. That's tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember this movie, I think it was actually an 80's movie. Uhm. Yea, Martin Shor was the funniest person ever. Yea. He's so funny. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Madison said, I couldn't put Fido on here, but they made him fill out some paperwork to get paid for what they did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was just a college student coming home from camp, so he just wrote down, it was just a bunch of shirts, he wrote down $100, they gave him $100.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, a few people pointed this out, and I do remember that now, that there was, I couldn't remember which one was the real one, which one was the fake, which makes sense, they're not gonna put the real one out, the elements I guess. I saw both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure there's been a ton of stuff in my life that I didn't know that they're just being nice and telling me it's something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I posted photos on Instagram of me with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I did see both, I just, I'm really bad at posting photos of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's video out there of that auction, Sotheby's, and as soon as the guy hits sold, you just see the painting just start getting shredded and everybody's like, what is going on? Um, it was pretty crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they stopped it when it was like halfway, either, he said jammed, um, yeaah, like halfway shredded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was a story in Mobile from like 15 years ago where people were claiming they were seeing a leprechaun in a tree down there and someone sketched what he looked like. Did I put that on the news?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we talked about statues that did not go well, and that one did not. They re-did that one. Is she holding a flask? It looks like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With whatever, you know. Out of marble. Out of marble. I support them putting clothes on people now, but. Yea. Yea, besides that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, a lot of people called me out on that, but I mean, I'm just saying right now, if we want to go to the moon, we couldn't. They say they lost the plans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't know about that, but we're planning to go back. This Artemis mission we are planning to go back soon, but we're working on it. We're not, we didn't go the first time we tried it to see if it worked. We went around the moon and came back. Right, Dusty?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are we going to do? What's the plan? Get that flag back. I mean, I eventually, I think look at living there. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will build them here, I guess, and take them up there and then assemble them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that could be a jumping off point. Or the moon could just be like hotels, like Airbnb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Superman took an atomic bomb into outer space and it opened up that thing that the Kryptonian villains were in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Alright guys, let's get serious. Talk about the mail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just for your regular first class staff. It's going up to 63 cents. Next week. You guys go to the post office much?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Post Office does not get taxpayer dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're all self-funded by selling stamps, products, stuff like that. That's why they keep raising the price. They gotta find a way to fund it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the earliest known delivery of mail was 3000 BC. Uh, Egyptians used homing pigeons. Homing pigeons know, well, they know how to get home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they would take these with them on the road and then they would put a little message and they know that it's going to go back to where they started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back then everyone hung out at the tavern, so they said this would probably be a good place to deliver the mail. It's mainly just coming in from Britain, so. This was before America was here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it was before the United States of America was, so it was just colonists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Boston. So, that's where people would drop off the mail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it took a while for things to get going as far as like British colonists and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then in 1775, the first US post system was started. Anyone want to guess who the first postmaster general was?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good guess. You said it very confidently. You're right. Benjamin Franklin. I guess you knew that. How'd you know that? Notre Dame?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I guess we were throwing pennies on him. But it's 1700s, or I guess he, when did he die? 1800s? Yeaah. You would think they would up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, when the post office first started, everyone just went down to the post office to get their mail. Just to check, see if they had email, whatever. And the recipient had to pay for the mail, not the sender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, so then the post office was doing a lot of returning to sender because they're like, they don't want it. So then finally someone, someone came up with the idea of poster stamps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well they just have a, wherever they're born I think they have this built in system of knowing how to get back to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Pony Express, we talked about that a little bit in the Old West episode, but that was another, that wasn't the US Post Service, that was kind of like the FedEx or UPS. It's a private company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it only lasted for a year and a half, uhm, but they would find scrappy riders as they advertised, usually orphans, and you couldn't weigh more than 125 pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, because the whole pack had to be no more than 165, and a rider, they would switch horses every 10 miles to a fresh horse, and the guy would ride usually 75 to 100 miles at a time before they switched to a different rider. And they'd go day and night, and they'd go from St. Joseph, Missouri to San Francisco.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every 10 miles they had a new fresh horse. And then I guess once the rider's done riding mile 100 or whatever, he would just spend the night there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I guess you win your only way back, maybe. You just. I mean, that's 40 pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so once they start, so then the guy came up with a system, uhm, what did he call it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't forget. I've lost it. But anyway, a system where instead of making people come to the post office, you start, they start taking it to your house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you notice during the Civil War a lot of widows were standing out in the cold waiting to get a letter from their husband at war and he said what if we start


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Delivering it to you and it took off and that's nice. That became a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, but then you, at the time you had to give it to the recipient. You couldn't just leave it. So all day long people are just walking, is he home yet? No. You know, all that. So then they said, well, let's come up with something. So that's when the post, the mailbox was invented. You're not required to have a mailbox. Oh, really? No, you don't have to have one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you can just, if you don't have one, someone tries to deliver mail, they'll just write NMR, no mail reciprocal, and it'll go back to the post office. You won't get your mail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think they would figure that out. It's called free city delivery. That's what they call it when they start taking it to your house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, zip codes became a thing in 1963. Zip stands for Zoning Improvement Plan. 1963? Yep. Zip is an acronym? Yep. Zoning... Improvement Plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I never knew this, but so the five digit zip code, the first number,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is depends on what part of the country it goes from east to west, one or zero through nine. So if you're in Maine or New York, your zip codes will start with zero or one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it goes from east to west and California, Washington starts with a nine. I had no idea. I think we were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So once these post offices started popping up in these towns, they had to have names to separate the mail. You couldn't have a name of a town that was already, another town in that state already had that name. It would be too confusing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they had it, so a lot of these towns just started getting named after the postmaster general, whoever it was.
