Hey, this is serious. I'm Chad Davis. And if you're ready for some clean comedy with the side of poop jokes, you're in the right place, my friends. That's right. And some flatulence. It's it's okay. We won't tell anybody. But anyway, we're the creators of Nashville Nonsense, the family-friendly sketch comedy show. You know you never need it. It's amazing. It's on the channel right now on the YouTubes. Go check it out. You'll have a lot of fun. When we say family-friendly, it's more like not Paw Patrol, but more like uh your tween or your teenager. They'll love it, I promise. And I'm here today with the creators of National Nonsense. One dude over here, my best pal, Jared Chandless. He's an actor, comedian, writer, man of many, many, many talents. Uh he's just an awesome dude. Uh, and my beautiful, lovely wife, uh Amber Davis. Uh she's a writer, comedian, uh, producer, director, speaker, uh, mother, uh, chef, cook, doctor. Oh, wow. Uh, what else do you do? Referee as a mom? She's a vet. Uh vet. Tea drinker. Tea drinker, florist. Uh-huh. Yep. Anyway, she has a lot. She's tired. Um, and I'm tired of it. Uh why not meet you. You're tired of it. She's tired of being so tired. You're tired of talking about me? No, no, no, no. No, you're wonderful. No, you're wonderful. And uh, we just have a good time. We have a good cast on our Nashville Nonsense uh crew. We've been filming and planning and writing and doing some stuffs. Uh you'll see us downtown Nashville, maybe on Broadway, Jared and I uh filming some stuff. Uh and uh if you see us, come say hi. How dare you? Yeah, and uh, you know, and while I'm thinking about it, while I'm in this neighborhood passing through, uh leave us a comment. We'd love for to hear from you. Uh I get calls or texts or talking to friends, and people say, I like the show, it's really funny. I like this and this and that. Well, great, just put in the comments. That would encourage me. If you like it so much, then listen. Or put a ring on it. That's right. All right, okay. Let's move it to the left. Yeah, all right. Here we go. Yeah. So what's going on? Yeah, I mean, uh lots. Uh, you know, it's uh getting into summer, uh things are getting hot and sweaty. Uh you got uh a lot of lawn yard work. Um because of the heat. Yes. Yes, nice. And getting hot outside. Flashback to Nashville Nonsense episode where we did uh I don't know the name of that. What was the name of that sketch? Outside. Oh, no, no, no. Angry Waiter, outside heat something. Being hot it's a great one. Heat. Yeah. Yeah. And it's the thing is uh this is the type of season or the time of year where you need to uh keep good hygiene, my friend. Uh put on the extra coat of DO, take a bath, watch, wash your unmentionables every now and then. Yes, and your mentionables. Hold on, man. Every now. He's like only in the summer. Wintertime, let it go. Unmentionables and mentionables. Wash it all. Yeah, wash it all. That's true. Yeah, I don't have any unmentionables. All mine are mentionables. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's good. So, yeah, lots of stuff going on with the like summer pools opening up. Pools opening up. Yeah, do you know how to swim? Yeah. Good for you. Yeah. Oh yeah. Good for you. Do you? No. I don't. You don't know how to swim? I can not drown, but I don't think that's the same thing. You not drown by not getting in the water. You can stand. No, I mean like I can like move around enough that like I won't drown. You look like a piece of fried chicken for a mistake. Yeah. But I'm like, no one's gonna see me not drowning and go, look at him swimming. So you've never been swimming. No, I I get in the water. No, I mean actually swimming. No, I don't like swimming. It's not something I do. I'm not allowed to get my hair wet. Did you swim when you were younger at all? Ever? No, no, you could say I grew up around uh a lot of uh a lot of blacks, and it just wasn't something we did. She could say that, but I can't. You could say that. Okay. No, I'm just saying that's not something they frequently did. So I was hanging out with them. Sprinklers? Um no, you didn't want you like it like a you didn't want to get your hair wet. Okay. So there was no water, water guns, no water balloons. I mean, yeah, I guess there were those things. Just we just the people I was playing with just weren't yeah. I mean, I had a I had a super soaker 50 at one time. Uh water balloons. I don't remember doing water balloons as much. Maybe I do remember because we would hook it up on the hose. Oh yeah. Yeah. But what didn't happen a lot. And a water balloon is not the same as swimming, right? That's not, but you can get your hair wet with a water balloon. So yeah, yeah. Yeah, so again, that's the only reason why. But I hated it when you put the water balloon on the hose and then it split. That was oh, that was like the worst when you're like eight. That's like that's your worst day when you're eight. I remember going to my grandparents' house and not having a water gun, or there'd be like one water gun at the house. And so my grandma, my brother would grab that or cousin, and my grandma would get real creative and take all the Don dish soap, whatever, and empty down into a container, and I would have the Don dish soap thing, and I would that'd be my water gun. And then come out with like soap and oh yeah. But you but you only had like you know, good four or five shots, and then you're by the spic it again, getting hosed. That's true. Well, it didn't matter because those little tiny plastic cheap Kmart wall, like the little um guns, a water did break, yeah. Like with the they have that one thing that you pop out of the little plastic. It looks like it came off a tag of a shirt. It was a shirt tag, and you're like blue blue. And that's when you fill it in one drop at a time. You're waiting for the bubbles, you like wait for all the bubbles to go away, and you're like, and you're like, come on, come on, because somebody's coming around the corner with the money, and you're like, We have water balloons took so long to fill up. Yeah, yeah. Now, you know, my kids you buy something that has like 20 balloons hooked onto it, and you just hook the thing and it fills them up, and as soon as the balloon gets full, it falls off the thing like a piece of fruit. And it's like you can have a bucket of 40 water balloons in about two minutes, and you're like, Oh man, when I was a kid, like we didn't even get to 40 counting the ones we threw. No, because they all split. It took too long to do, man. No one's gonna sit there and have 40 on the end of the faucet, there was like 10,000 little the rings of balloons that broke before. This thing is you hook it up and it's got a screw where you hook it up and you turn the water on and it fills up like 20 balloons. Yeah, but then like back in the day when you're doing all that, but then my cousin Travis would always get like he would like get over there, and once he got the hose, it was done. Because he was he wouldn't let anybody else use the hose. So then Travis likes the hose? Yeah, he's just spraying everybody so nobody gets to do the water thing. Push the lotion in the basket or gets the hose again. Yeah, he's the worst. Who's that guy? Oh, he was Travis. He was so bad. And we used to in Kansas, this is like crazy Kansas farm talk. This is my little house on the prairie farm talk. We had they had those big irrigation, like the big irrigation systems that would go like manure, like fertilizer and stuff. No, no, no. It's like um think about like a gigantic sprinkler that would go across the whole field. Yeah, but I've seen those on the field. But they're they're they have like fertilizer in there that are they pushing out fertilizer things. Well, it's supposed to be just pure water, but you've got like some kind of chemicals or pesticides. But what we would do is like we would be playing in the field. And drinking it. It's ridiculous. Playing in the poop rain. I got you. But at the very end, like if you ever drive by a like a wheat field or something like that, you see these, you'll see at the very, very end, it's like allowing the pressure to release so that the rest of the irrigation can kind of drip. So at the very end, there's like this. But it it's like a a home person sprinkler on steroids because it's right, it's like a sandblaster. It's like cutting diamonds. So we would get it. Oh, it's a word. We would go out there and we'd be playing, and then all of a sudden that would get and you if you got caught in it, you had like a red mark across your back from where it's. It's so cool how water can be so soft and so harsh to cut you. Oh, it would it would leave a mark. It would like cut your skin. Is water wet? It was is water wet, yeah. It's wet. It's wet in the skin. Okay. Water's been wet, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There you go. All right. Jump into some news. You know what you got. All right. Before we jump into some news, we'd love to hear from you.

But we really do appreciate uh you watching. It's not lost on us. It's just we're just bringing you into some of our crazy fun time to take a break from the reality of this world that's so ridiculous. The vacation from your problems. It's true. You remind me of that old Hair Club for Men commercial just then. Do you remember like you know when they would come out and goes, not only do it not only do I believe in this, but I'm also a client. That's what I thought. He was like, Chad, not only not only does Chad sit here and do this, but he also works here. That's right. That's right. So we really appreciate it. No, that's real. Just here running around. So comment, like, subscribe. Don't forget to ring that notification bell, and uh, we super appreciate you. All right, we're gonna jump into some news. Here's something that uh happened recently. This is uh tell me if this is really what you know technology we should be using it for here. Oh yeah. Driver arrested using wade mode to drive cyber truck. I don't know what wade mode is, but can they can they can those things do that? I don't think they're supposed to do that. Apparently they can. The police responded to a call. The vehicle was at Grapevine Lake, probably Great Vine, Texas. Yeah. Um Wade mode, yeah. He's just out there tooling around in his cyber truck because he's doesn't have anything else for her to do it. Can those things go on water? Is that real? Apparently there's a lot of things. Or is that like is there ground that he's touching? Or like can those things drive on the water? Well, weight wading water, right? It's not like you're not all fully submerging. You're like It's like when you roll up your pants and you get in the water, you're just kind of wading around for the water. Those things are made to do that. Apparently. Have y'all ever been to like, you know, like Branson or Gatlinburg or different places where they have these things called the ducks? I'm not talking about like quack, quack ducks, I'm talking about like they're you can ride in the ducks. And back in World War II, they had these vehicles that kind of look like a cyber drug. But anyways, it's huge and it would have these tires on it, and it looked like a big tank, and people could ride in it, and then it would go into the water and it would become a boat. Yeah. Well, I think Launchpad had one. Yeah, maybe duck tails. Oh yeah, there you go. Well, um in Branson, there was a guy that bought a bunch of these and he painted them and he like had them and they're called the ducks, and you can ride the ducks, and you can ride around town in them, and then you get in the water and it's a boat. It turns into a boat. I didn't know the cyber trucks did that. No, this is well that should be in their promotion, I think. They should really like let people know that it does that. Yeah, I just thought of this. Electricity this is an electric car. Yep. That's a great idea. I don't see where this could go south. Yeah. Interesting. I think the main thing is that it um looks like a transformer. In a car in a traditional car, you'd have to have some kind of snorkel. Some kind of submarine. Yeah, so because it doesn't get water into your carburetor because it'll just flood it and you're Steelon Musk. It's probably airtight. Yeah. The Cybertruck's gonna be the next submarine. Yeah, it doesn't need it doesn't need water. I mean, sorry, it doesn't need air to combust to like so it's just I guess I don't works, it's just but electricity and the water seems like a good idea, I think. Yeah, it seems like it works well. They should go well together. It's a it's a natural conduit, isn't it? That's well, yeah, that's news to me. I didn't know that the cyber trucks can do that. I didn't know. And I I didn't know that you could be arrested for doing it if the I mean Yeah. I mean Do you have to have a license to drive a boat? No, I mean but he's he's in the you do have to have a boat license? I think so, don't you? You don't have to have a license. I think a boat. Well, okay, you do you have to I mean like is a driver's license, does that give you the the right to drive a boat too? Or is there a different boat license? No, no, you could you can um you can be a miner driving a boat as long as you have a legal guardian with you. I mean you can work in the mine what do you mean? Yeah so miners. Yeah, a little miners like a coal miner? Somewhere we're good with that. That's a good combo. Yeah. Well, I mean, you're looking for all kinds of stuff and you know, rock quarries. Nice. Um, but yeah, so miners. Yeah. But I was, I mean, I was every bit of like maybe 10, 11 driving a boat with my dad or whatever. So kind of you have a driver's license to get a boat, I guess. No. Um I think in order to like a regular well, like if you're recreate one or something. Recreational, if you're on recreational, you don't need a license. But to rent one, you have to have proof ID everything. But if you bought a boat, I don't think you need a license to drive it. But if you're doing like commercial driving, like a cruise liner or something like that, or like the barges or something, you probably need some kind of license. I mean, you could be like 10 years old driving a boat with around, you know, and like yeah. Is there a different license that a pilot has to get? Is there a pilot's license? Or you have to have a different one to fly. You need one for driving, but for getting on the water, they're like, I don't think you need one. I mean, obviously, there's no criteria if this guy's maybe it's the lower you go, the more you don't need one. You're closer to the ground. Right. Okay. Closer to sea level. So definitely submarines, you can be like infants. Yeah, yeah. Right. You could be born on one and just hop there with the little gadgets. That's okay. So we are full blown in summer now. Yeah. Right? It's hot out. And so with that, there's some um like trends as far as like, you know, traveling. So summer plans. You got any summer plans here? So I thought here is uh somebody that was sharing about uh what what's trending out there in travel for the summer. So I thought maybe we could. I wonder if it's the B surprises. Yeah, I know, right? Travel plans. Um and you know, you have brands like EF GoAhead Tours, they do all those experiential tours. They say their America's collection is booming right now because so many people want to stay here. So big ones for them right now are Alaska, Hawaii, the National Park. Sort of seeing trends of staying closer to home. They're actually launching new close-to-home itineraries just to keep up with the demand. You're seeing here the Vontrap family lodge and resort. This is in Vermont. It's part of the New England tour. You see, at that resort. So more people are looking for yoga on a hot roof. Now they did change the service building, number one experience on that American tourists. Um years towards these cold. So speaking of the Von Trap family lodge from Sound of Music. Um we know I went to Europe once and we went somewhere where they had shot part of the sound of music. Oh, that would be awesome. We were in like a you know where they're yeah, where they're running through like I don't want to say cemetery, but it's like there's a lot of stuff. No, it's not a cemetery. You talk about the end of the show. In the sound of music or in that that I don't talk about the show. I know exactly. It's in Vienna. Yeah, we went uh we went there when it was cold some years ago, and that like a Sound of Music was like filmed at this spot. I'm a huge Sound of Music fan, obviously. There's a poster back there. Yeah, I like Sound Music, it's good. Yeah, I like her better in Mary Poppins. Oh I think she's just as good either way. She's great. So summer travel trends. So they were talking about how that uh people are not taking huge trips, but they're staying more like in especially United States. People are staying in the United States, and they're going like some people are going to Hawaii and Alaska, but a lot of people are going to national parks. Yeah. And our closest national parks. Maybe we should do that. Just all of us go stay at the Cedars of Lebanon. Yeah. Yeah. They have little huts somewhere. They have a little huts? Yeah, but it's right around the corner. Like, no, where are we going? Vacation. Where is it? It's about 15 minutes from there. If we forget anything, we can just come back and get it. That's true. Well, Zeke and I just went to Radner Lake, Radner Park, and uh it's over in by Brentwood. And uh it's a it's a cool park. It's uh um probably one of the best parks in Tennessee to see um bald eagles. But we saw a lot of wildlife. I saw uh a snake out there, I saw a hawk almost very close, pick a duck out of the water for some den for breakfast. Yeah, it was it was like National Geographic to see this thing swoop down off a tree and going after it. It was wild. I like Edwin Warner for walking around. Yeah, Warner Park is nice. Over there off of uh I think Highway 70 or something like that. Yeah, are you talking about over by Cheekwood? Yeah, yeah, Edwin Warner Park. Yeah, it's so pretty out there. It is for like you walk up into the it's like you're walking in a yeah, there's so many different like waterfalls and parks and hikes and stuff here in Tennessee. Um check it out, yeah. Yeah, so lots of you know, different, you know, trends and people like that's what they're saying is like to be able to stay closer to home. Oh, I love it, to be able to um go to national parks. Out of all the national parks, like have y'all been to like national parks besides. I know the difference in the national park. Okay, so like Cedars of Lebanon is a state park. Okay. Um Long Hunter in Mount Julia is a state park. Okay, all right. But a national park would be like the Smoky Mountain National Park. Yeah, or Yellowstone. Yellowstone. Yellowstone. Do they count down there like uh where the Parthenon is? Is that a national park? No, that's a city park. Is there anything within maybe a 50 mile radius of where we are that's a national park? No, the closest national park, I think, would be Smoky Mountain National Park in the Apple Essential. Is there a national park in New Mexico, maybe? Yeah, Sedona. Sedona, National. I think I've done one in New Mexico. I think Sedona's in New Mexico or in Arizona. Yeah. But no, I don't I don't guess I've done a national park in really. I've done the wrong park. How about the place in um Kentucky where you have the Mammoth Cave is a national park? Have you done that? Yeah, that's a cool if if I've done that several times. I've got family friends. Yeah, I highly recommend going to Mammoth City. And they cut off they cut off the lights and it's all like completely dark. Stag man squeeze is so fun. It's the longest underwater cavern in the world that is recorded. Yep. There's a bunch of caves and stuff that hadn't even been gone in that. That's true, but it's the one that's recorded. It's pretty cool. So Dick's really cool national parks. Out there because of these uh those caverns, there we have a lot of sinkholes in Tennessee and uh and Kentucky area. And um I think this happened maybe less than 10 years ago. They have a Corvette museum up there, and the Corvette Museum got sucked down. They lost a couple cars down in the sinkhole. And they've left them there, and you they put a rope around it, and you can actually look at the cars and yeah, that's pretty wild, but it's it's a neat park. We have no sponsor with them, but I think just locally, the best one of the nicest parks we have here is that Charlie Daniels. Oh, Charlie Daniels. Well, that's City Park, but that's Mount Juliet, yeah. What what can you name another park like it? I mean, uh they literally, I think, have everything that you could I wish it were bigger, like more land, maybe. Yeah, it's a good thing. But like they have everything, they have a splash pad, they have an outdoor and indoor basketball, volleyball, they have a skating park. They do, they have a great playground. Football field, paddle. What's it called? Pickleball, yeah. And that choo-choo train. Gym, yeah, you know, yeah. A fiddle uh area where you can play your fiddle. That's just anywhere in the park. There's a police department. Police department, yeah, right there. Yeah, I was naming the popo. Yeah, they've got that. Yeah, in case you're and a homeschool football field. It is, yeah, for the heat. They got it. Because it's hot here in Tennessee heat. That's right. Yeah, it's fun. So um when it comes to uh when it comes to going traveling, uh, I saw this recently. I thought this was interesting. A lot of people are going down to the beach because it's summertime. This is something that just recently happened. So I'm gonna play this video and see if y'all heard about this. This morning, with Memorial Day and summer beach season, right around the corner, a new law put into place to help guard against shark attacks, all thanks to this teenager. This was really important to me because nine minutes prior to my accident, only three miles down the coast, there was another shark attack, and we believe it was the same shark. Lulu Gribbin was fifteen years old when she lost her hand and nearly her life after a shark attack in the city. That's crazy. As she recalled to us last September on GMA. And then next thing I know is that I raised my hand out of the water and there just was no hand there. Overnight, the House of Representatives voting to approve Lulu's law, allowing the FCC to send a wireless alert directly to cell phones when there is a shark attack. Much like an Amber alert, it geolocates all the cell phones within a certain radius of the coastline and blasts them with a warning. That's a good idea. Beach. I don't have my phone on me and I'm looking for alert. You do if you're in the um wade mode of the No, that's what I'm saying. You're in the water and you like you're gonna reach into your wet pocket and go, Hold on, there's a shark close by. But that's why you take me to the beach because I don't get in the water, and I do have my phone, and I'm sitting on the beach reading a book and looking to the beach, and I'm doing, everybody get out of the water! I just got an alert. No, you take Amber because when he does come, you toss her into the water where the shark is to give you more time to get away. Golly. So what's so cool about this is this young teenager, I mean, she has her whole life changed by getting attacked by a shark, and then she does this awesome thing. She changes the law. She changes the law. Yeah, think about that. A teenager with one arm is changing the law. What are you doing with your life? That's true. What can you do with two arms? That's right. Yeah, that's right. So kudos to her. Good for her. I agree. No, she didn't let that stop her. That's really cool. She turned, she made that lemon and lemonade. That's right. So what she can never be, you know, arrested for armed robbery now. Yeah, that's a good thing, Jared. Who wants to be arrested for armed robbery? Not her. Alright, so if you are at the beach, um just know if you are in the um Gulf of America now, if you are down there and you are out in the water, you're safer because this teenager actually made a difference. If your phone goes off and you go, wait, a child's missing, don't worry about it. You need to go, no, wait, it could be a shark. Okay, from Ideas Come Ideas, right? What if the alert sounded like dun dum, dun dum, dun dun, dun dun, dun dun. I think they should what would be better is that. You know they have those things for when a tornado goes off. Yeah. Why not? No, no, no, no. It should be the on the Jaws pinball machine, where in the movie she's like, shark, shark. And you got somebody just yelling at? Yeah. Like that's that should be the same. I think somebody needs to stand where they can see. When they see one, they and you let the the Oh yeah. Yeah, we're taking it way back. Well, there's some ideas for you to make it better. Yeah, but good job, girl. Yeah, she did it. That's right. So, okay, we talked about this a little bit earlier about like doing things around locally for uh vacations and stuff. Well, that's actually a thing, staycations. And if you know your money's tight with with gas and all the other things, it's good to go on a staycation. Yeah. And that's where you stay at home and make a fort in the living room. Yeah, you find things to do in your town. Right. Well, you know, I mean, here we've talked about this before, like with our home uh or with our yard, we're trying to do some upgrades and do some things to make it more pleasant to be around so we enjoy our our homestead. Yes. But you know, the thing is that most people they'll do those upgrades to their home or the yard so they're trying to sell their home. Right. Um, we're trying just uh do the opposite where we're making it where we like it. And we want to enjoy it. So yeah, like if you're when we're not working and not creating and doing stuff, we sit in our backyard and enjoy it. And um just I sell my back patio a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta agree. Yeah, have a nice patio. Yeah, nice view of a woods. We've got um a fire pit patio that we put in years ago. And so now what we're doing is we're gonna put in like a like a little pergola, which is like you know, two two cedar uh poles that go up and then across, and then we've got a screen that we can hang outside, and we've got uh I'm just learning about this for the first time. It sounds like a lot of worlds, but it sounds cool too. Would the screen be for watching? The screen, and then we've got a little movie camera and we've got a stereo, and we can put projector. Yeah, projector, movie camera. I didn't say movie camera. Are you gonna show us your home camera? You're gonna film it and then show us. Remember when we used to go on vacation? We're a staycaser, we're gonna watch the old ones. That's right. So here's here's some here's some tips about staycation. So treat yourself to a spa day in your area. Maybe go to a restaurant that you've been always wanting to go to. That's a good one. Yeah, yeah. China Moon. So, no, no, no, no. China Moon is awesome. No, no. Uh be a tourist in your own city because most people, most people that are from New York or from Nashville or from other places, they're like, Have you ever been there? No, I've never been there. Like, you know, to the central debris, to whatever's in your town, find the things. I've been to everything in our town. Yeah. I mean, when I I lived in uh Wilmington, you know, Riceville Beach, North Carolina, and I went to the beach a lot. I was kind of, I mean, not your atypical local, because I was always at the beach. I mean, there were some a lot of people, but most people live in Wilmington, they don't go to the beach on a regular because it's in the backyard. Oh, I could do that anytime. That's the mindset. And uh did you ever run into Michael Jordan? Isn't he from Wilmington? He is from Wilmington, North Carolina, but I never run into him. I saw his house. He had a he's at that time he had a house, a beach house on Raceville Beach. Beautiful, but I never saw him. Yeah. I saw him baseball once. I saw him uh well I've seen him at Reynolds Coliseum when he played basketball. Oh, okay. When he was playing his state. Well, go doing stuff in town is really cool to do. Like find the what the touristy thing is in your local town and go do it. I think that would be to get one of those pedal things, and then you, you know, you go downtown, you always see them on Bro Woo, the people that are pedaling, and they they're always yelling and the woo tavern. Yeah, my goodness. That's a touristy thing to do. Yeah. I don't want to do that. But there's a lot of. Well, I know, but you can do other touristy things. It'd be fun to get on there and pedal backwards, maybe slow down. I would get on there and they go, All right, everybody pedal. I go, I'm not pedaling. Yeah. What are you gonna do? Yeah, no, I want to try to pedal back against the green, try to get we're stuck in an intersection or going backwards. The van just keeps going like this, yeah, backwards. Woo! Woo! Woo! You can go to like a local festival. Yeah, like something fun. I actually have a list of some cool festivals. And the thing is in Nashville, there's a lot of music and all kinds of stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah, we did. Well, there's um there's a festival in Hermitage, um, at the Hermitage. Um, that's like music, bluegrass things that are coming that's coming up. That's kind of a cool festival. Um, but there's all kinds of different festivals around. Maybe in your your home state, um, there is the birthplace of the 911 emergency call system. There's a 911 festival in Alabama. Yeah. That makes sense. That would be in Alabama. Yeah, yeah, sounds boring. Yeah. Chicken stock music festival in Alaska, Standing on the Corner festival. That doesn't sound family friendly. Uh it sounds like the exact opposite. California, they have they have their state fair in the summertime, which that seems kind of bizarre, but I think that we were close to that. I think it's an Incon um In Cinitas where it is. Um also the same town uh that uh has Mike McGill's um skate shop, too. Oh, that's true, yeah. So I think that's the same to the Headless Chicken Festival in Colorado. I can't wait. That sounds good. Um you've got the Hemingway's Day. Hemingway days. He was a writer, I think. Yeah, but he liked the booze. He had a cool first name. He did have a cool first name. Oh, I was gonna say something that wasn't appropriate. I used my filter. I'm growing up, ladies and gentlemen. We appreciate that. What is that thing? When you go back, we're gonna. That's Bud Day. That's Spud Day in Idaho, of course. Yeah, you got Superman Celebration in Illinois. Um, Hobo Days in Iowa. Is that for hobos people? Is that where the train comes by and people try to jump on the nap? You have to have a stick with a handkerchief top of the air with all your belongings. And beans in a can. Yeah. And you've got the Rural Chicken Festival. That sounds cool. You've got the Moxie Festival in Maine. Cool. Cool Pink Flamingo Day. All kinds of festival. Tupelo Elvis Festival in Mississippi. That sounds odd that it's in Mississippi. Yeah, what else you got? That makes sense. That makes sense. So that's always funny. Kool-Aid Days in Nebraska. Oh I remember uh my my roommate back in uh well many years ago, uh Chad, uh he had uh this Kool-Aid can, and we get Kool-Aid all the time, and I'd collect the points, the little cut up the points. We still have that can. Yeah, and I got like a gazillion points, but there's nothing to do with them. Maybe maybe I don't know, maybe I have to look it up. Maybe I can get some from Kool-Aid. But anyway. You can take it to the Roswell UFO Festival. Yeah, maybe the aliens would like it. The Kool-Aid Festival. Yeah, the Kool-Aid Festival. Black Bear Festival. Yeah. Awesome. Twins Days. You have to be a twin to go to that festival. Um, so yeah, all kinds of different things. Interesting. They saw the thing to go downhill. You have to build the thing, and it's they probably just want adults, not the kids out there making them soap. When I saw adult, I thought it was like you know, like an adult beverage. I'm like, what's an adult soapbox? I've never even heard of it. So, what festival do you have in your hometown? Put it in the comments. We'd love to hear about what you've got going on in your neck in the woods. Or in if you're not in the woods, if you're in the plains or the beach, wherever your neck is. What festival should we start here at Nashville Nonsense? Right. We should start our own festival. Nonsense festival. Yeah. Nonsense 2026, nonsense. First and only and last. Festival of three. Nonsense of us promoting it and not showing up. Yeah. So we'll get the whole, we'll get the whole nonsense crew together. Everybody goes, What are we doing here? Like, nothing. Nonsense. None of the nonsense. Yeah. That's our news. That's what's going on in summer breaking into summertime. All right, well, great. And here we go. We're about to get funny. Um, with this next, finally. About to get funny. Yeah. Oh, so now that Amber's done, yeah. We'll get into something funny. Let the jokes begin, folks. Uh uh, but in all seriousness, no, this is what this is one of my favorite uh things that we do here. It's uh what's the punchline? Yeah, so uh this is where I share my algorithm with the rest of the gang here and uh influence them into some cultural things. Um we apologize ahead of time. It's a lot of funny stuff. So the first one we got here is uh sensei passing out kicks. Oh, yeah, sensei. So you had a sensei passing out chocolates. Yeah, he did. Yeah. Right there, man. Yeah, let's see what happens here. It might be the same sensei. No, there's no way you got Mr. Kong on here. Well, I don't know. Maybe. Let's see. No. Wow. Maybe one of his students though. I think he let me see a little too much of this already. Oh no. He just kicked the fire out of that kid. Okay, well, let's see. Maybe he went over his head. I don't know. I don't think so. I think he looked like he looked like he got like do it again. No, no, there was just a watch again. There's just a bottle in his head. Oh, there's a bottle? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, see the bottle. Seriously. It looks like he did get his head, though. I don't think he got the bottle. I think he didn't that kid's head. The kid's head launched the bottle. Man, I'm so thankful that you pointed out that bottle. I did not see that. I thought that that was. Oh, I don't know. Well, it looks like he's doing it. Let's go to video two. I mean, uh the part? Yeah, he's a sensei. I'll say this. The Taekwondo I did, we never had any pads on our phone. You see how that floor is all padded? Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, clap? They got bandaged up, too. Justin's been practicing with them. Yeah, he's the fourth one out there. He's gonna be the belt on this now, too. And then they have yellow belts on, too. They're just getting started. They're clapping because, yes, he got over. Yeah, that's good. I'll make that too. That's here. Oh man. There you go. All right. Either that or they're watching Weird Science. That's kind of what it looks like. Okay, second video is Granny loves cookies. Yes, she does. All right. Grandma. Granny, what are you doing? I'm having a cookie. I'm having cookies. Alright, I'm having cookies. No, hold on, no. No, look at her. You've ever seen uh the burbs? Yeah. You know the doctor? The guy that was next door. Yeah, she does kind of look like. Just saying. That's she favors it. Yeah. Interesting. What happens? What does he do? What does she do, Amber? Leave grandma alone. She's having a cookie. Yeah. She's enjoying life. She doesn't have that much more time. She's also being honest. She doesn't? Honest. What do you mean? She's killing her. You just announced that we're terminally ill? Yeah, she's older. She's enjoying her cookies. Just let her be. I agree with all that part. Up until you go kill her off. She doesn't have that much longer to live. What do you mean? She's lived a hard life. Clearly, she's gonna die any minute. Yeah. She doesn't look happy. I wouldn't look happy either. I'm about to die. Yeah. Look, she's not happy with your diagnosis or your prognosis. Yeah, she better get a second opinion. She cries at me. Yeah, she does. Let's see what Granny loves cookies. Okay. Granny, what are you doing? I'm having a cookie. Granny, those cookies aren't for you. What do you mean? That for everybody only for you? Granny, the dog treats. No. No! No! That's my favorite part of the video. Sure, going, no! That's so funny. No. Here, look though. Clearly, this lady has been stingy with this woman. Yeah. Because that that that old granny who doesn't have long to live, she immediately goes to, oh, you got these only for you. So clearly she's had something before. Right. And that lady's gotten on to her, like, that was my milk. You know. Yeah. She's a mistreated granny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I feel bad for her. You eat those dog cookies. Yeah, you know she's dealt with that daughter with obviously something. Like, that was my tangria. Those cookies do look like what are those, like the faux um, like what are they called? Like, you know, like Oreo cookies, but they're not Oreo cookies or like the knockoff version, but they're the vanilla ones. That's what it looks like. So it does look like something that you'd have. Well, she's enjoying it. No, no, no. This dog stuff, they're making like dog stuff. Really fancy. All right, moving on to the flip challenge. Flip challenge. All right. So there's always some trend on the in-wibs. Do this with couples. I have seen, yeah. I have seen these, and every time I watch one of these, like on Instagram, I think of you and I. Can we and I think of no, I think of absolutely we will never do this. You also see these people, like you're seeing them do one, but that you know this person took. Yeah, it's like dude perfect. They've done it like a million times. They show you the one perfect, and everybody goes, Oh, I can do that. And you can't do it first go. Right, because the first time they did it, they knocked the TV over. Yeah. And probably caught it heel in the eye. Yeah. You can't see his left eye. It's probably blackened and shut from catching that toe. So, what's gonna happen? I don't know. Somebody else is gonna attempt to do it and fail miserably. Ah, fail miserably. Let's see. I think you might be onto something, Jerry. Let's see here. Let's see what happens. Remember. She says she wants to dance and keep control of what your favorite video is. Here we go. Here's the case. They can do it. Uh-oh. He's gonna flip him. He's gonna flip him. Here we go. They didn't think this through. No. One, two, three. He's gonna kick her in the face. Two three. Oh, you held her hands. Oh, he held her hands. So he wouldn't let her go. Of course. Why? Why did I not even see that coming? She didn't see it coming. Of course. She got pink eye now. Yeah, the whole thing up there, I'm like, why are you gonna try and flip him? Why are you even in this position, lady? Yeah. That's crazy. What an animal. Of course she would have her toot in his face. That was not a toot. That was fart. Yeah, it was busting cheeks. A toot would have been like, Yeah, no, he's hanging one. That is not my favorite one. Beef and cheese there. So what was your favorite one? First one. Yeah, Sensei was my favorite one. Sensei was the best one. He kicked that boy right in the head, and then when it cams over and you got everybody in bandages. That was pretty funny. Okay. Nice work. That's a good one. Now moving on to your second second uh favorite segment of the show. Here we go. We're going to have some serious takes. Very debatable, uh heated uh stuff here. So the question I have here is uh is experience more valuable than a degree? Yes. Oh, yeah. Experience is way more valuable than a degree. Well, you got like people sitting at this table have got a lot of experience, but like I don't think any of us here have a degree. I think experience is more valuable than agree. But a degree I wouldn't know, Chad never had a degree. No one here does, and you're like, I've got a degree. Well then you tell me which is more valuable. I can't afford a degree. Experience, experience, experience, but getting the degree is part of the experience. Yeah. So I will say that in the trade that as far as like in filmmaking and video production and creating and things like that of that nature, I learned more uh self-immersion or working with people uh you know as a being mentored in that area instead of being at a by a professor. Right. Um but it can open the doors for you. It can, and it did. I mean I I made some networking when I was in college and I I did some um got hooked up with Fox. That's how I got the job at Fox 8 and got some real world experience there with editing, it's the fast food of editing and some camera work and stuff. Yes. Um however, as far as the knowledge that I gained and the experience of being out in the field, it was way different than the a classroom. Yeah. So yeah, I would say experience again because uh I don't know what I mean. I went to I went to college and I assume they're valuable, that's why I don't have one. Right. Oh my gosh. I put myself through school, and but by the time I was a senior, beauty school dropout. I know, but by the time I was a senior, I had to uh couldn't hack it in beauty school. You went to beauty school and they told you. Oh no. No. Yeah, I was a homecoming queen of my beauty school. All right. You went to beauty school and they go, You sure you want to be a homeschool mom? Yeah. Wow. Yes, golly. No, but I went to school and then I um I left my senior year to because I had to like go into business and start making some paying some bills. So um, but it definitely launched, uh like it helped me. So that experience was huge. It did help me a lot. So I would say, but the it, you know, you gotta wisdom comes from experience, from application. Yeah, putting that, yeah, exactly. Putting that. I need to get that one. Yeah. All right, crust or deep dish. I'm sorry, thin crust or deep dish. Oh, well, I like it. Sorry, sorry, thin crust. Thin crust or deep dish. I like pizza so much. I will eat both of them. Yeah, thin crust, I'll eat like a thousand pieces. Exactly. Deep deep dish, like I love a deep dish pizza. A thousand pieces. Deep dish, like maybe you know, like two, three. Yeah, it's all buttery. It's all right. It's on a Ritz cracker. It's like, give me three larges of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's a big cut and squares. Do you think? Who has the best thin crust pizza? Papa John's is pretty good. Yeah. I like Papa John's. Yeah. Domino's is good. Domino's has a good uh thin pizza. I mean, you're talking about chain, yes. Yeah, chain. I would say Domino's has a good thin pizza. I think jets is the best for the thin. But I think it's best for thick pizza, dude. I like Jets pizza. Yeah, I think the uh honestly, the best thin thin crust pizza is the Bellicinos. Oh, Bellocinos has a good thin pizza, but that's just a local pizza. Are you guys talking about Bellicinos? Is it Bellicinos? I don't know. Bellicin's Bellocinos, you know, Bellicin's, but it could be Bellicos. They do have a good, they have good pizza. It's a little bit more expensive, and it's not like a national chain, but it's good pizza. It's good. Yeah. But oh, oh, oh, Panturos. They have an excellent thin crust pizza. I remember there's a I don't know if it's a chain, but it was a place in Raleigh when I was growing up called Uno's Pizza. Did you guys hear that? Yeah, Uno's is a chain. Okay, yeah. So they had a deep dish. They were out of Chicago. Yeah. Good, great. Fancy place. Okay. Uh Domino's. Have you ever been there? Yes. Yeah, it's really good. We saw that. We were watching King Queen. Yeah, he's like, so funny. He's like, it's a fancy place. Uh Domino's. It's like Domino's? I saw Kevin Hart live this year. Oh, yeah. Oh. Oh, you mean Kevin James? Kevin James, yeah. Yeah, I haven't seen Kevin Hart. Oh man. Nobody really is. Yeah, not a short black guy, this a bigger white guy. Yeah. That makes sense. Kevin James. He was very funny. It's good. Okay. Uh gender reveals. Okay. You talking about babies? Are you talking about like mine? Like about adults or babies. Yeah. I was talking about babies. Like, you know, either doing the poppin' balloon and dust come out. No. I know. I or not. Okay, gender reveals. And you're looking at you. You were gonna get it. Yeah, like like how'd the surgery go? Here we go. We're alive. Reveal it already. Reveal your gender. Yeah. But yeah, yeah, what's your thoughts? I mean, like, uh is it run its course? Hopefully. But I I was never into it. I don't I don't think that it's like, hey, let's get a big party together. With our daughter, we didn't find out until we I had there was only one person, two people that knew the doctor and my dad. Because when they told everyone to turn, all the family did, but my dad just I I remember turning and I seen my dad look in the opposite direction and then smile. He goes, girl. He didn't say out loud, but he saw his like and I was like, Dad! And he was like, He did, he totally saw. I forgot that. Yeah, oh, that is. All right, everybody turn around so you don't see the the gender. I'm about to uh you know show it here on the screen. So turn around, please. We all turn, and my dad was like, huh. Yeah, because forgot to put the apple on the stamp on the apple, blah boy. So that was our gender reveal party was having all of our parents in the sonogram with us. That doesn't sound weird. I don't know why. I don't know how that happened or why we did that. You go y'all. I think you were driving this on that ready to get her mostly naked and then rub oil on her belly. Do you want the rest of the family to come? Sure. Yeah, just face, face her, face us. Yeah, yeah. Everybody did come in. What in the world? Yeah, they put that little jelly, that uh the jelly on your belly, and then they have the little thing, the good the good the control stick, whatever it was. Wendez had uh Wendez had a couple of our girls, our best friends there, and they're like, You want to go in and see her? He's like, Oh, wait, man. Hold on. You're saying, what were we, what were you thinking? I did I do that. I don't think that was my call. No, no, wait. And if you would have made that call, somebody should have jumped on you. Oh, that is so funny. Was voluntole on that one? Were you on drugs? No. Oh man. Like any kind of I mean, like the doctor. Is that why you were like, yeah, bring him in? Yeah. I wasn't getting my wisdom should be removed. Like, what? Just grab anyone that's in the hall. That is crazy. Everybody's bringing their highlights in there and everything. Highlightsword puzzles. She taught the magazine? Yeah. She was drinking. Because they're in the waiting room with reading the highlights. Yeah. And those blue Bibles. Bible studies. I'm not sure why that was. That was crazy. Yeah. I totally forgot about that. Yeah, whenever we whenever we got our, when we found out ours, it was uh my wife and myself was in the room. Yeah, there was a lot of people. We had a party. We had a party. We had a gender reveal. No, we just hold them later. Yeah, we had a gender reveal party in the waiting room. But the thing is, we brought them in and we didn't want to find out, but we did I don't know, it was a whisker. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. That's wild. So I would say absolutely not a gender reveal party. Yeah. Like I don't think. No, we didn't do a g we never did a gender reveal. We didn't reveal any of our kids' genders. It's still a mystery. Interesting. Yeah, I did not know. I mean, I wanted every incentive to push. So it was like, I want to know if this is a boy or a girl. So we don't want to be surprised, but after that, we were like, no, we want to find out now. Well, with our son, I just I knew that I was, I mean, I I was 100% positive because before I was pregnant, I knew that we were gonna have a boy and we were gonna name him Ezekiel. So when we were in there, they were like, would you guys like to know? And I'm like, is it gonna cry? And they're like, yeah, I'm like, it doesn't matter then. Oh my goodness. That's wild, yeah. Interesting. There you go. Yeah, gender reveal or not? Not no, I don't say I don't I don't do gender reveal. Yeah, just keep it to yourself. I mean, nobody wants to keep it to yourself. Nobody wants to see you cut hairs. Yeah, I don't want to be invited to that. I don't want to see your balloon pop and see pink ooze come out. I mean, honestly, when I see something like come across like the interwebs, I see like it's like the they're about to reveal, I I I scroll past it. I don't got time. I dry heave. You dry heave, yeah. That's just me. I think why don't invite them into the way into the doctor's office with them. You go, you go. I guess you could do this if you don't want to invite them all in. You can skip the public staying and get your cake. But come on. Yeah. And then you have like either blue jelly or pink jelly. I I mean you're either Are you really gonna do this gender reveal the right way? They're done a doctor. Right, but how could you reveal something that you don't know that what they are yet? But that's because we do. No, okay. Good comeback, Jared. Rebuttal? No. Okay. This is serious.
