Meats with Greg Warren – Public Figures Ep 9

Public Figures · A Nateland Podcast · Episode #9 Meats with Greg Warren Barbecue, Brisket, Road Stories & Hot Chicken Lore Hosts Dusty Slay · Aaron Weber · Brian Bates Guest Greg Warren Runtime 1 hr 51 min ▶ Watch on YouTube ⭐ Top Quotes “You don’t have to spell toilet to use one.” — Greg Warren [00:45:18] “Boy, I tell you, this is a gold mine.” — Dusty [00:49:44] “Talk about uncomfortable… I was at the Little Rock Looney Bin.” — Greg [00:41:49] 📚 Books Mentioned To Kill a Mockingbird — Harper Lee Lonesome Dove — Larry McMurtry Roots — Alex Haley The Thorn Birds — Colleen McCullough We’re Having a Good Time — Dusty Slay MUDWTR mudwtr.com/NATELAND · Code: NATELAND iRestore irestore.com/NATELAND · Code: NATELAND Superpower Superpower.com · Code: NATE (20% off) Helix Sleep helixsleep.com/nate · 20% off Apr 1–16 Episode Overview Greg Warren joins Dusty Slay, Aaron Weber, and Brian Bates for a deep dive into barbecue styles, steak cuts, and odd meats while weaving in road stories from clubs, festivals, cruises, and church gigs. Whether it’s debating Texas brisket versus Kansas City burnt ends or sharing the origin story of Nashville hot chicken, the conversation stays fired up for the full 111 minutes. Between sponsor reads, the crew riffs on catchphrases with merch potential, the documentary Comedian, Orny Adams’s real-life personality, and Tom Hanks’s uncanny knack for heroic roles. Greg’s philosophy — “You don’t have to spell toilet to use one” — becomes the episode’s unlikely thesis: you don’t need to be a pitmaster to know great barbecue. The episode closes with a tour of illegal meats (eagles, bushmeat, lungs), yacht rock credibility debates, church jokes about Chick-fil-A, and a medical emergency comedy bit before everyone plugs upcoming tour dates and says goodnight with the show’s signature sign-offs.

BMF Belt Origin Busboys Movie Jake Paul MMA Fight 1 Section One Episode Overview Theo Von sits down with UFC legend Nate Diaz and Stockton MMA fighter Chris Avila for a sprawling, unfiltered conversation about Stockton pride, jiu-jitsu philosophy, and what it means to be a fighter. Both guests are gearing up for major bouts on Netflix’s MVP card—Nate facing Mike Perry and Chris taking on Brandon Jenkins—making this a high-stakes preview of their biggest paydays outside the UFC. The conversation digs deep into Nate’s ongoing beef with fight analysts, his vision for Real Fight Inc., why he turned down larger UFC offers tied to Conor McGregor, and his intention to eventually fight Jake Paul in MMA. Theo also plugs his self-funded independent film Busboys, starring Nate and Chris as heavies alongside David Spade, and opens up about sobriety, podcast growth, and the grinding reality behind comedy and fighting alike. Equal parts hilarious and surprisingly philosophical, this episode showcases two warriors at the intersection of Stockton grit, business savvy, and authentic self-expression—from slapping pizza-parlor strangers to manifesting an MMA future with Jake Paul.

Episode Overview The hosts are literally back in Foley’s basement after flood and leak damage wrecked their newer studio — and they lean into the chaos with stories about insurance games, Easter candy atrocities, a deeply anxious mall massage, and suburban dad problems. They mix two sponsor reads with personal stories that run the full range from Uber Eats ice cream emergencies to plunger placement philosophy. The back half shifts into Patreon “Are You Garbage?” questions, where Kevin and Foley debate baking sheets vs. cookie sheets, appropriate plunger storage, orange Home Depot buckets as trash cans, faking pink eye at work, and the legitimacy of a hands-free steering alignment test. It’s a pure family episode — no outside guest — and one of their most relaxed, story-driven installments.

There are no guests — just Dusty, a recording mic, and about 64 minutes of wherever his brain goes. He then dives into travel routines, hotel comforts, cigars, digestion, Passover and biblical feast days, quitting nicotine, fasting, and the dangers of uncritically consuming music and film messages. This is peak Dusty Slay: funny, specific, theologically curious, and self-deprecating about carrying linen sheets on tour. The episode closes with family priorities, tour updates for Paducah and St. Louis, and a preview of his forthcoming book where he reveals more of his personal story than ever before.

We Might Be Drunk Podcast Gaten Matarazzo & Sean Giambrone on Child Stardom, Star Wars & Gen Z Sobriety Mark Normand & Sam Morril  ·  1:29:28  ·  Full Episode Notes Netflix Top 10, Oscar diversity mandates, creepy fan encounters, Lego Jedi debates, and why Gen Z is quietly canceling alcohol — all in one episode. Full timestamps, sponsor codes, quotes, and clip breakdowns below. 01 Quick Reference 3 Best Quotes ⭐ “Movies are like magazines — they might be out soon, which is a sad state of affairs.” — Sam ⭐ “Diversity is great as long as it’s not forced — it gets weird when you need a spreadsheet to cast a movie.” — Mark ⭐ “I don’t enjoy the rabbit holes — I’m not even logged into my account on my phone.” — Gaten Top Books This Episode Train Dreams — Denis Johnson (~17:00) The Caine Mutiny — Herman Wouk (~42:00) All Quiet on the Western Front — Remarque (~43:00) Where’s Papa? — Robert Klane (~43:00) Being There — Jerzy Kosiński (~26:00) Active Sponsor Codes WMBBD — 20% off Willie’s Remedy+ DRUNK — 20% off Lucy pouches DRUNK — 60% off Tempo Meals first box Shopify — $1/month trial at /drunk Ethos — quote at ethos.com/DRUNK 02 Episode Overview Mark Normand and Sam Morril open with Mark’s Netflix special None Too Pleased cracking the Top 10, then pivot into Seth Meyers stories, Conan’s Oscar hosting, and a heated debate on the Academy’s new diversity mandates for Best Picture eligibility. The conversation ranges from Timothée Chalamet’s bizarre ballet controversy to Doja Cat’s rare moment of social-media self-awareness. When Sean Giambrone (The Goldbergs) arrives, the episode shifts into old-Hollywood nostalgia — George Segal memories, Cary Grant hypnotist rumors, and a deep rec stack of overlooked 70s films. Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things, Lego Star Wars) joins next, triggering the episode’s best section: child stardom’s dark side, the “crush since you were 13” phenomenon, social media detox strategies, and why Gen Z is quietly abandoning alcohol. All four close on pet peeves — plane feet, rude customers, cosplay at serious theater — before Mark and Sam plug their touring schedules. Sean and Gaten’s stoner comedy Pizza Movie (Hulu/Disney+) is the connective thread throughout. 03 Top Quotes & Soundbites ” ⭐ Movies are like magazines.
