Okay, welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the public figures podcast. My name's Dusty Sle. I am one of the host along with my friends, Brian Bates,

and Aaron Weber. Good morning, everybody. We're pumped to be here. We're three professional

comedians. That is true. We are. Based out of Nashville, Tennessee. We are all professional

comedians. That's true. Based out of Nashville. And I just want to, you know, I want to kind of echo what you're saying. No, I agree. It's why I said it up top. Yeah. Sometimes you're going to let people know. What do you mean? Well, do you live in Nashville? We're based here. I'm based here. But if you guys were a little more successful, you could live in Nashville. Well, I live in Nashville. No. Oh, okay. But I do live in Davidson County. I mean, doesn't that count? Yeah. I mean, I pay Nashville taxes. I'm not in Davidson County. Yeah. It's great. But we're recording this live from Zanis Comedy Club located in the heart of Nashville. That is true. And that's where we're based right now. Yeah. So that's where we're based.

Yeah.

That's the foundation of the podcast.

That is true. Yeah. And we are all professional comedians. Yeah. There is no, there's no confusion about that. I thought you're going to challenge us on that, Brian. Come on. I challenge myself on that one. We're all working. But, you know, we were gone last week because we did two episodes.

And the podcast, when the, when the camera goes off, we all go to our cars. We don't say a word to each other and we drive home to our separate lives and separate families and we never check in on each other.

I just want to see what you guys have been up to. I call my wife on the way home, and I go, oh, gosh. Another day at work. Yeah. You know, like the MythBusters guys hated each other. We talked about that, right? Yeah. They look like their friends on the show, and then they hate, or they, like, just weren't friends. You think they hated each other because they knew they were living a lot? Seems like that would make them bards. Turns out the greatest myth of all. Yeah. Really eats away at you, though, I think, over time. I think so. Yeah. I think it can.

Because you said they got a myth wrong.

They busted it.

My grandfather, who's a physicist, saw them do a calculation wrong on the show and wrote in and corrected them.

Wow.

Yeah.

He said they did something wrong.

They were trying to calculate the velocity of something.

And he was like, nope, that's not it. Is it your grandfather that works for NASA?

No, I never had a grandfather that worked for NASA. I have an aunt that works for NASA.

Okay, I thought I was an uncle. No, my, no, no, my, my grandfather was a head of the physics
