00:01:15.640 leader in the world of comedy and clean comedy.

00:01:19.200 He's a one of one, I would say.

00:01:21.100 That's for sure.

00:01:21.660 He has a new film that's coming out in theaters this weekend called The Breadwinner.

00:01:25.880 That's Friday, May 29th.

00:01:27.580 You can go check it out.

00:01:28.480 He's building an amusement park, like a real one for amusement, right here in Nashville,

00:01:33.760 Tennessee.

00:01:34.600 I'm thankful to spend time with today's guest, Mr. Nate Bargetsy.

00:01:45.640 I saw some guys talking about when you would sleep.

00:01:59.340 Remember when you were kidding,

00:02:00.020 you would sleep over at somebody's house.

00:02:01.840 You remember that?

00:02:02.720 Yeah.

00:02:02.960 And you woke up before them.

00:02:06.560 Yeah.

00:02:07.740 And just like,

00:02:08.760 cause you kind of had to pretend you were asleep.

00:02:12.020 Like you were ready to get up and go,

00:02:14.280 but it wasn't your work.

00:02:15.640 world it was their universe yeah I would think the the big you know that's when you're a kid

00:02:21.720 and the biggest opposite is when you're older and then everybody's up you know and uh meet the

00:02:28.260 parents yeah that like scene made me laugh so hard when like Ben Stiller comes downstairs and

00:02:34.340 everybody's been up for like a couple hours because that would I relate to that I think

00:02:41.420 even as a comedian you know it's like we like we can stay up late and whatever you're always the

00:02:47.380 guy wandering into the into the world late yes and i mean people are like i mean we i know people

00:02:54.320 outside comedy they have like a meeting at like 6 30 or 7 like a meeting in the morning in the

00:03:01.160 morning yes and you're like what yeah yeah for what yeah like maybe with god maybe that's early

00:03:07.360 i could see that yeah yeah you know or an actual meeting with the son like if you got an email from

00:03:14.560 the son it's like hey i'm all we're gonna need you there yeah like the literal son yes yes yes

00:03:21.100 if he was like hey i'm here yeah either son the son shows up early though the son shows up early

00:03:27.240 and he's like i've been here and you go no i kind of saw you i just was like give me a second

00:03:34.060 Yeah.

00:03:34.740 Just let me get my bearings a little bit.

00:03:36.940 Yeah, 730 meetings, they say they have those.

00:03:39.580 I think I would want to be that, though.

00:03:42.360 Oh, so that's something.

00:03:44.600 Like, it gets a little bit aspirational.

00:03:46.480 Yeah, dude, I've been, and I hate to say this

00:03:48.800 because I don't even want to hear myself say this.

00:03:50.680 Yeah.

00:03:51.440 I think, oh, God, it hurts even coming down to my neck.

00:03:56.220 I think I'm a mourning person.

00:04:00.320 You know, I could.

00:04:01.780 And you know what I'm saying?

00:04:02.500 I'm sorry to say that.

00:04:03.740 uh well i think it's you know it's uh i don't want to apologize to people who can't even

00:04:08.720 handle hearing that yeah because they want you to be a night person well as a comedian we are

00:04:13.360 night people right and i think there's something but i think we go opposite like it's uh we want

00:04:21.760 structure i did like not to talk about my movie right now but like i'm saying when i shot the

00:04:28.340 movie and you just shot a movie there's like structure right yeah breadwinner that's the

00:04:33.740 But, like, when you shot your movie, it's, you got to be on set at this time, and this, this, this is, and I loved it.

00:04:42.220 Because I don't think we have structure as comedians.

00:04:45.260 And we don't come from any of it, and we go, I remember I wrote for the Spike Video Game Awards, like, a long time ago.

00:04:54.000 And Spike, is it volleyball? What was it?

00:04:55.900 No, I remember that TV show, or that network, Spike. I think it was, like, Spike TV.

00:05:01.180 Oh, yeah, Spike TV.

00:05:02.280 They did like a bunch of like random, it was like right when we were like in New York,

00:05:06.800 like 2008, 2009.

00:05:08.140 Oh, yes, I do remember this.

00:05:10.220 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:05:11.180 It was like a dude's channel.

00:05:12.580 What were some of their top shows? 0.56

00:05:13.980 Look up top three shows on Spike TV.

00:05:17.300 They had the game show or video game awards, I want to say.

00:05:22.640 Oh, Ultimate Fighter started on there.

00:05:24.320 The reality show launched the UFC and modern MMA into the mainstream.

00:05:28.800 Interesting.

00:05:29.240 Blue Mountain State.

00:05:30.680 What's that?

00:05:31.240 Blue Mountain State, that was a show with Reacher, I know his real name, Jack Reacher.

00:05:38.840 I look like Jack Reacher right now, and this is what he would wear.

00:05:41.680 Do you?

00:05:42.020 I look like Jack Reacher-round.

00:05:45.600 Yeah.

00:05:46.800 And my body doesn't, but he wears a shirt like this.

00:05:50.280 Alan Richardson.

00:05:51.700 I know Alan.

00:05:52.500 Oh, dude, yeah, somebody always talks to me about him.

00:05:55.820 Yeah, so he started out in Blue Mountain State, which is on Spike TV.

00:05:59.180 Wow.

00:05:59.660 And then, yeah, Spike TV was like a little bit ahead of its time.

00:06:04.780 It's almost a channel that Bar Rescue, some pretty good stuff, man.

00:06:09.000 Bar Rescue, a thousand ways to die?

00:06:11.180 No thing.

00:06:11.560 I'll take one way.

00:06:13.360 Yeah, but you'd want to know the other.

00:06:15.840 I don't need to know a thousand.

00:06:17.440 At a thousand, you'll stay alive forever just looking through all of them.

00:06:21.980 That is.

00:06:23.280 Maybe that's a reverse psychology.

00:06:24.800 Maybe that's the plan.

00:06:26.340 Yeah.

00:06:26.580 I mean because it's going to be a spider bite

00:06:29.800 It's going to be you step on

00:06:31.700 A nail in an artery

00:06:33.900 I don't know if you have arteries

00:06:35.380 Yeah if you fall off a building and like one of your arteries

00:06:37.460 Lands on like a little nail or something

00:06:39.160 Yeah there's a lot of

00:06:41.660 Yeah anyway there's a lot of ways

00:06:43.020 Bar Rescue okay Spike TV anyway go on

00:06:45.300 Sorry I interrupted you but I just forgot about Spike TV

00:06:49.320 It was a great

00:06:50.220 It was a good channel

00:06:52.880 Especially like a hidden age

00:06:54.560 demographic you know this is on dude entourage we were just i was just talking about entourage

00:06:58.900 entourage was on during this time like so it was oh on television not the same channel yeah i didn't

00:07:04.060 know that alan richmond even just to think that that's like that blue mountain state was there

00:07:08.180 that the ufc kind of like sort of became mainstream by going on a spike tv and getting like eyeballs

00:07:13.760 that way it was like we'll take whatever you got i didn't understand that look up once more

00:07:17.700 Spike TV was this Mountain Dew can.

00:07:21.820 It was everything it represents.

00:07:23.300 Oh, yeah, Americana.

00:07:24.200 It's just American.

00:07:25.880 American Dew was Spike TV.

00:07:27.680 Yeah, a thousand ways to die, UFC.

00:07:30.860 Just shotgunning Mountain Dew.

00:07:33.900 Blue Mountain State.

00:07:35.120 Yeah, it was all of it, man.

00:07:36.100 Yeah, yeah.

00:07:37.340 What were we talking about?

00:07:38.520 So we were talking about Spike TV.

00:07:39.440 You went into Spike TV.

00:07:41.960 Like having structure with a movie.

00:07:43.900 Oh, having structure with a movie.

00:07:45.240 Yeah.

00:07:45.440 like I do

00:07:46.580 I'm not a person

00:07:47.300 that has any structure

00:07:48.320 oh yeah

00:07:48.940 and comedians

00:07:49.600 aren't in general

00:07:50.300 no

00:07:50.680 so when you're on set

00:07:51.560 you were saying

00:07:52.020 like yeah

00:07:52.340 you get this

00:07:52.800 oh it's great

00:07:53.940 and they tell you

00:07:55.360 to even comedians

00:07:56.140 I noticed

00:07:56.520 they told

00:07:58.160 and I don't know

00:07:58.980 if they did this

00:07:59.260 on breadboards

00:07:59.620 but they told me

00:08:01.380 we told

00:08:01.800 I lied to myself

00:08:03.100 but that

00:08:03.980 to be

00:08:05.300 like they would

00:08:05.940 set the call time

00:08:06.540 45 minutes

00:08:07.220 really it was later

00:08:08.060 because they knew

00:08:08.920 I was going to be

00:08:09.360 a little bit late

00:08:09.780 oh yeah

00:08:10.300 yeah I don't know

00:08:12.120 if we

00:08:12.340 I think that's

00:08:13.120 I think the people

00:08:13.760 have done that to me

00:08:14.660 yeah

00:08:14.960 yep they get you there but i would show up like i've been late to stuff it depends on what it is

00:08:21.180 if it's something that i know i should get to i'll get to but if it if it's not you can sometimes

00:08:26.740 it's like yeah it's just there's a lot of stuff it's i think it's hard being your own when you're

00:08:31.840 your own boss yeah it's you can get lost a little bit and you can get you know you want to sometimes

00:08:38.380 look for someone to go no or yes and then you realize there is no one to say no or yes

00:08:44.920 yeah it's just you yeah it's just you yeah yeah i realized i realized that i work for myself and

00:08:49.420 i'm not the best employee i realize i could yeah that makes sense like it's yeah you you can you

00:08:56.200 don't live up to maybe what you're doing but you know then but if someone sees what you're doing

00:09:01.200 they're like you're doing everything right so then they're like you're doing great and you're just

00:09:05.420 going to beat up yourself uh oh yeah because you think like i should be doing more i mean i think

00:09:11.640 about like that you know i should oh yeah when you're working i should get structure i have no

00:09:15.760 structure yeah athletes have structure they have like routines yeah yeah there's no like comedy

00:09:22.600 there's not like a bell that goes off early in the morning where it's like comedians grab your pens

00:09:26.480 and start your writing and we like you said if you're a morning person you think that goes

00:09:34.180 against everything that you're supposed to be because your shows are at night and when you come

00:09:37.640 up you're out very late but then the longer you're in it you kind of like want to just get up earlier

00:09:44.320 and have a routine yeah and then it's like that's my fantasy is just to have a routine

00:09:50.300 oh to adhere to an alarm clock that's oh yeah that's a fantasy of mine yeah yeah not a lot of

00:09:56.960 alarm clock you know you don't set alarm clocks because it just doesn't dude i would set my alarm

00:10:01.860 clock and then hide my phone in between the mattresses on the other side of the bed that i

00:10:05.800 slept on yeah so like over there and i would never even hear it because it's quiet because

00:10:09.900 it's under the mattress yeah it's quiet it didn't stand a chance so i wanted structure but i was

00:10:14.300 just not willing to adhere to it yeah yes i'm like i work for myself and i'm the worst employee i

00:10:18.460 would i would go smoke behind the dumpsters like i was hiding from myself like what are we even

00:10:22.560 doing yeah i think you want someone to be in charge yes i had an old joke unfortunately it's

00:10:29.820 you every time it's the problem you had an old show what i had an old joke where i said uh

00:10:34.680 you know it's like with the thing with comedy is like if you wanted to quit comedy there's no one

00:10:38.520 to quit to so you like can't call seinfeld and be like hey i'm out like there's no one no one cares

00:10:45.080 if you quit no one yeah there's no one to say you quit to and then if you get to a point where you

00:10:50.940 have this giant audience and you quit then you feel like you gotta you can't just quit no because

00:10:55.780 then everybody's like where you at so even if you wanted to quit you're like i don't know you gotta

00:11:00.820 what do you do make a video and then everybody's like why you quit and you're like now you're

00:11:04.420 into millions of people yeah and you're like no i just wanted to kind of slowly fade yeah

00:11:10.620 daniel day lewis i always think is an act like you don't know anything about that guy

00:11:15.620 you know he comes out for you know just to basically win an oscar and then he goes back

00:11:23.400 goes back to whatever he does and that guy i don't know what he does yeah i don't know what

00:11:28.940 he does either and daniel day lewis yeah i mean he has day in his name that's so probably gets up

00:11:35.740 early for sure if he's putting that in there yeah um but yeah no idea comes out gets his thing boy

00:11:42.780 in the uh left foot red foot fan my left foot my left foot dude no i haven't seen it but it's

00:11:50.680 pretty good it's have you it's older yeah i've seen it really it's about anything to do with

00:11:55.120 his feet yeah oh really it does bring it up let's just find out what was it my left foot hold on

00:12:01.080 let me take a gander at what i thought it was really quick it was a man i believe i think there

00:12:06.680 was like a train accident he gets his it takes place like in the south he gets one of his feet

00:12:10.880 hit by a train and then he has to operate and fall in love i guess with just only his other

00:12:18.060 foot he has to fall in love with someone else with only his other foot to be able to like

00:12:22.620 hand them a flower.

00:12:23.980 So his left foot is like,

00:12:25.220 it's like...

00:12:26.660 It's necessary.

00:12:27.500 It's a big deal.

00:12:28.700 Yes.

00:12:29.300 Let's see it.

00:12:30.160 No one expects much

00:12:30.920 from Christy Brown,

00:12:31.840 Daniel A. Lewis,

00:12:32.440 a boy with cerebral palsy

00:12:33.820 born into a working-class

00:12:34.860 Irish family.

00:12:36.040 Okay.

00:12:36.480 No train.

00:12:37.700 Little different.

00:12:39.260 Eh, that's a train.

00:12:40.860 With the help 0.96

00:12:41.640 of his steely mother

00:12:42.460 and no shortage of grit

00:12:43.240 and determination,

00:12:43.840 Christy overcomes his infirmity

00:12:45.400 to become a painter,

00:12:46.420 poet, and author.

00:12:47.820 How is it like a true story? 1.00

00:12:49.540 Though Christy is a spastic, 0.75

00:12:50.760 quadriplegic,

00:12:51.260 and essentially paralyzed,

00:12:52.020 a miraculous event occurs

00:12:53.780 when at the age of five

00:12:54.780 he demonstrates control

00:12:55.900 of his left foot

00:12:56.620 by using chalk

00:12:57.360 to scrawl a word

00:12:58.420 on the floor

00:12:58.880 oh yeah

00:13:00.860 I remember this now

00:13:01.900 different movie

00:13:02.500 than I was thinking

00:13:03.080 but still a great movie

00:13:04.540 you

00:13:05.900 yeah

00:13:06.400 the train

00:13:07.380 yeah

00:13:08.780 I was thinking

00:13:09.200 of fried green tomatoes

00:13:10.000 that's what I was thinking

00:13:10.520 I just realized that

00:13:11.360 that has a train in it

00:13:12.780 yeah

00:13:13.100 oh

00:13:13.660 little crossover

00:13:14.640 yeah

00:13:15.380 that's

00:13:16.160 but that's a good

00:13:16.840 you know

00:13:18.080 the only train movie

00:13:19.100 I can think of

00:13:19.600 was that one

00:13:19.980 Denzel Washington

00:13:20.800 that's good

00:13:22.720 training day

00:13:25.220 I don't think it's training day

00:13:27.960 there's one where there is an actual train

00:13:30.000 how is it not training day

00:13:31.100 but there's one that there is an unstoppable

00:13:33.120 oh I haven't seen that

00:13:34.880 it's great

00:13:35.380 that's kind of where I'm at

00:13:37.600 I haven't seen my left foot

00:13:39.100 but I've seen 1.00

00:13:41.200 no Pelican 123 maybe 0.99

00:13:43.120 that's it

00:13:44.420 yeah yeah

00:13:45.680 is that got a train

00:13:46.680 I think there's a train in that

00:13:49.400 And was there a movie called Training Day?

00:13:52.080 There is. 0.98

00:13:52.760 And Stenza Washington in it?

00:13:53.940 Nothing to do with the train.

00:13:55.380 But that was, yeah, that's he won an Oscar for that.

00:13:58.020 Oh, okay.

00:13:58.660 Or maybe, maybe he didn't.

00:14:00.460 We shouldn't go to the theater, I don't think.

00:14:02.820 But, but you have a new, this was good.

00:14:05.080 You have a new movie, your movie's coming out.

00:14:06.720 Yeah, No Trains.

00:14:10.920 Breadwinner.

00:14:11.600 And in theaters.

00:14:12.820 In theaters.

00:14:14.280 And you have a Nate rate, what did I see, what is this?

00:14:17.040 Yeah, we got the, we talked to all the movie theaters and got prices lowered.

00:14:23.940 Nice.

00:14:24.500 So, yeah, yeah, because we want the whole family to come out.

00:14:27.520 It's interesting with movies, man.

00:14:29.280 You start looking at, like, theaters, like, you know,

00:14:32.200 you guys make, in distribution, all this.

00:14:34.560 Like, you know, think about touring.

00:14:36.340 Like, it's hard not to think about movies and touring

00:14:38.980 as kind of, like, the same kind of thing.

00:14:41.760 You know, you get a promoter, you get this, you go to every town.

00:14:44.360 like if you make a movie and you go to these theaters and they're in every single town and

00:14:48.720 you kind of go like did you hear about that kid on uh youtube he did a horror movie and he's got

00:14:55.140 a bunch of subscribers on youtube and he's big horror fan i think and they made a movie he made

00:15:01.400 a movie and i mean it was you know it was going to go out to a few theaters then his fans just

00:15:07.380 started calling their theaters being like no we want it to come and it was like a huge success

00:15:12.420 and he made it for, I want to say 3 million and then, uh, yeah, uh, iron, is it? Yeah,

00:15:20.360 it's like something iron. No, iron something. It was iron something. And then iron lung.

00:15:27.000 Yeah. Was that it? Yeah. Grossed over 50 million. I think he made it for three. Wow. But it was

00:15:31.880 like, that's a guy that just basically did it like a tour, like how we would tour and sell

00:15:37.320 tickets. Markiplier. That was in guys named Markiplier. And what does it say? Can you take

00:15:42.080 me into what happened with the movie? He just made it. He said he wanted to make it. The Iron

00:15:47.800 Long movie was independently self-financed and created by YouTuber Mark Fischbach, Markiplier,

00:15:52.920 who wrote, directed, produced, edited, and started in operating without a major studio. He shot the

00:15:57.440 film over 35 days using a life-size 9,000-pound submarine set mounted on a hydraulic motion rig.

00:16:02.220 Wow. After struggling to find traditional Hollywood distribution, he self-distributed

00:16:07.240 the film. Massive fan campaigns

00:16:09.220 convinced major theater chains

00:16:10.700 to screen it. The indie film became a massive

00:16:13.320 box office hit grossing $50 million and a $4 million

00:16:15.200 budget. Wow. So he had his fans

00:16:17.420 all call.

00:16:19.100 Once he said he wanted to go out, he was in a few

00:16:21.240 theaters and his fans kept calling

00:16:23.020 their theaters and their towns

00:16:24.960 and they said they want to see it and then

00:16:27.360 he went out and said $4 million budget.

00:16:29.780 That's amazing. That's incredible, dude.

00:16:31.720 But that's where you see movies where you're

00:16:33.420 like, that guy did it kind

00:16:35.360 of like how you would tour on a comedy club like you're going and selling tickets just in these

00:16:41.020 towns right and so if you got a big following like that that tours and you go make a movie i mean

00:16:47.680 i you know it's like can he go do that you know i understand the uh one time is kind of like oh

00:16:54.320 yeah it's crazy so it'd be imagine can he go do it again or can you repeat it and yeah it's

00:16:59.580 interesting i mean even with our own movie i don't know what we sold compared to like if i

00:17:03.660 were touring in a place as opposed to people that came out to go to the theaters um i know

00:17:09.300 well i don't think it was close but i do know that i had a lot of friends who were like dude

00:17:15.520 i haven't been to the movie theater in eight years yeah 10 years right yeah i had a lot of people who

00:17:21.160 went to the movie theaters by themselves dude we had one video of a dude he sent it in he went to

00:17:26.620 the movie theater nobody else was in the theater right he ends up watching uh what was this dude

00:17:33.500 his name i gotta find it we'll put it in he ends up just taking his shirt off and sitting there

00:17:37.140 and watching the movie by himself relaxing he's the only guy in there yeah watch the whole thing

00:17:41.660 by himself this dude i think it's like it was this guy it's like this like the latino guy he's

00:17:45.900 at work and he's like bro i'm freaking tired but i want to go see this movie maybe i don't know

00:17:51.420 and then you see him walking he's like nobody's even here and like 10 minutes later he's like

00:18:27.120 he just took it 0.99

00:18:37.620 and he had to set the phone up somewhere and do this that's kind of a vibe that's him right there

00:18:45.640 golden cheeseburger right there golden underscore cheeseburger shout out at him being a hard worker

00:18:50.600 went to catch i've never even thought about wanting to take your shirt off i think people

00:18:53.880 either don't or do want to take their shirt off yeah i'm a i'm a not i don't want to take my shirt

00:18:58.880 off but i mean if someone wants to buddy they want to oh we know a guy yeah yeah we do we know

00:19:05.400 yeah sometimes i wish we'd try to go in more theaters but going to uh but yeah taking your

00:19:11.600 shirt off yeah going what going to theater alone man that like it's pretty great that's something

00:19:16.940 you do a lot as a comic on the road you can hit some you know you have some movie at noon yeah

00:19:22.940 And you're just by yourself in there.

00:19:24.400 Oh, yeah.

00:19:24.980 Have you ever had someone come sit right next to you?

00:19:27.940 I've been by myself or maybe one other comic,

00:19:31.780 and then two more people walk in,

00:19:33.000 they sit in the seats in front of us.

00:19:34.320 Aw.

00:19:34.920 Drives me nuts.

00:19:35.960 And what do you do?

00:19:37.400 I'll move.

00:19:38.940 Yeah.

00:19:39.300 Or I'll sit there and just be angry during the whole movie.

00:19:43.360 Yeah.

00:19:43.700 Because why would you do that?

00:19:45.720 Oh, dude, yeah.

00:19:46.580 Why would you sit right, you know, just go sit.

00:19:50.900 It's empty.

00:19:52.240 Yeah.

00:19:52.440 Just go sit, like, somewhere else up.

00:19:55.620 But here's the thing, though.

00:19:56.560 If you sit too far away from that person,

00:19:58.640 do you think they feel kind of left out or something?

00:20:00.900 No, I would go as far away from them.

00:20:04.400 I'm one that doesn't want to really be near someone.

00:20:08.500 Of course, near someone in a dark theater that you don't know.

00:20:11.420 Yeah.

00:20:12.400 Yes.

00:20:12.980 I think you've got to have space.

00:20:14.460 I mean, I would sit, like, when you go with a buddy,

00:20:16.040 like, we don't sit next to each other.

00:20:17.320 You have that empty seat.

00:20:18.640 Thank you.

00:20:19.360 Yeah.

00:20:19.840 When we went to Kevin James' movie,

00:20:21.360 you and I sat next to each other,

00:20:22.280 And we kept a seat between us.

00:20:23.180 Yes, we kept a seat between us.

00:20:24.200 Like civilized people.

00:20:26.320 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:20:27.580 Yeah.

00:20:28.620 We were normal.

00:20:29.740 Yeah.

00:20:29.960 And we enjoyed the movie more.

00:20:31.200 Oh, yeah.

00:20:31.700 It was good, dude.

00:20:32.740 Yeah.

00:20:33.200 Like Beetlejuice.

00:20:34.180 You ever see that guy, Beetlejuice?

00:20:36.620 Mm-hmm.

00:20:37.540 From Stern?

00:20:38.860 We called him up.

00:20:39.620 We offered him money to come on this podcast one time.

00:20:41.840 And he said no?

00:20:42.860 This is what he said.

00:20:43.620 This is the crazy part.

00:20:44.560 He's like, where are you going to leave the money at?

00:20:49.560 And I couldn't, like.

00:20:50.940 Yeah.

00:20:51.620 And just from there, it was like.

00:20:54.540 Oh, it was downhill.

00:20:55.560 Yeah.

00:20:55.960 It was so hard.

00:20:56.880 He's like, yeah, where are you going to put the money at?

00:20:59.300 Yeah.

00:20:59.840 And I was like, oh.

00:21:01.420 And I couldn't explain to him, like at the bank or whatever.

00:21:03.640 Yeah.

00:21:04.160 We're going to send you a check.

00:21:05.820 Yeah.

00:21:06.320 Unreal.

00:21:06.840 Yeah, wire, anything.

00:21:09.480 You know, America's 250th birthday is coming up.

00:21:13.800 Whew, that's going to be a big cake.

00:21:16.460 And who's even going to blow out the candles, I wonder?

00:21:19.080 or probably maybe Thomas Jefferson will come down from the clouds

00:21:22.380 and huff and puff a few out.

00:21:24.640 Maybe Betsy Ross or Frederick Douglass.

00:21:27.660 I don't know.

00:21:27.980 Somebody, somebody from history, somebody that's regal and admired

00:21:33.820 is going to come on down and just huff and puff them cake candles out.

00:21:39.500 Happy 250th, America. 0.78

00:24:08.440 slash theo but yeah i think it's different getting people to go to theaters uh it's it's just it's

00:24:14.660 kind of a throwback yeah i but i i think you're heading more towards that kind of stuff with

00:24:20.340 experience i mean you've seen people get it uh you're seeing a lot of things netflix house you're

00:24:24.740 seeing a lot of things where they want to experience a netflix house you're saying what

00:24:28.400 Yeah, Netflix is doing a—they're starting to build these Netflix houses.

00:24:33.160 Which are like movie theaters.

00:24:34.940 No, it's like they would have John Wick, and they would have like—I went to one.

00:24:40.040 Like, there you go.

00:24:41.000 So it's like all your favorite Netflix shows, and you get to interact with it in some way.

00:24:45.340 Oh, but you can also watch the shows in the place?

00:24:47.620 No, no, you're not watching them.

00:24:48.820 You're just like a squid game.

00:24:50.560 They have like a squid game thing you can go through.

00:24:52.460 and then so you so you go in and you spend the night or day and you just get to interact with

00:24:59.620 your favorite show stranger things you get to go through a stranger things set or play a little

00:25:04.540 game or and that this kind of thing i believe i believe live experiences are going to go that's

00:25:12.940 where that's where it's at that's why i think stand-up comics are in a terrific spot because

00:25:18.020 you're you can't ai a live performance right and you i mean you can do hologram and that kind of

00:25:27.880 stuff but well yeah we're the only place i mean what else even outside of stand-up comedy where

00:25:33.180 else are people even outside of like pastors at churches i'm trying to think or reverends that's

00:25:39.100 true preachers or yeah or rabbis or but who like outside of those people you have musicians but

00:25:46.320 they you kind of know what you're getting because it's like their songs yeah but i'm trying to think

00:25:51.080 of where else is there like well i guess but then you don't know what's influenced with what

00:25:54.280 so like even if they're songs or if they're singing or whatever it is i mean i would think

00:25:58.680 you know some folk music like that you're gonna have to have stuff like that where you're like

00:26:02.840 straight up you know there's nothing added into it and there's nothing or it's gonna be a very big

00:26:09.220 spectacle uh spectacle show you're gonna have to go either super big or you're gonna have to be

00:26:15.560 i think like stand-up where it's just you me we're talking to a crowd and there's nothing in the

00:26:21.420 middle right well yeah that's what i'm saying is like there's not a place where you go to get a

00:26:25.240 pure voice anymore there's not that you know i'm saying like that's not refined or it's not overly

00:26:29.740 produced it's the most authentic that's why i mean i hope young entertainers i hope stand-up

00:26:35.660 comics that are getting into it get into it and they get in there and create an act and

00:26:40.420 because you're going to be the only place, you know,

00:26:45.460 essentially where you could maybe be actually hearing a real person.

00:26:50.080 Preacher is a good example too.

00:26:51.740 Like it's where you're going to, you know, have straight on,

00:26:55.220 like I just want to see the person, you know,

00:26:59.540 because there's so much stuff people don't trust.

00:27:01.500 So you're like, I just want to see the person.

00:27:03.380 I want to see the person talking.

00:27:05.260 I want the truth.

00:27:06.820 I want humanity.

00:27:08.800 Like I could touch that person.

00:27:09.820 Right. And I want what they really believe. I feel like, like with humor, I think at the base of a lot of our humor, I think a lot of it, I mean, sometimes you're joking around, but some of your true laurels are in there. Like, these are some of my, you know, like some, we all have a backbone of stuff that's in there.

00:27:24.140 Yeah. Who you are. Like, yeah. I mean, I think unless you're like a one-liner guy or something.

00:27:29.140 Right. And that's, that's hard to really know.

00:27:30.820 It's, but yeah, but who, yeah, who you are is going to be kind of, you know.

00:27:35.000 Somewhat in there.

00:27:35.700 Yeah.

00:27:36.040 Yeah.

00:27:36.160 Yeah, because, yeah, it's hard to get, like, a true, like, okay, what does this person think,

00:27:40.100 and are they just speaking directly to me without a lot of influence?

00:27:42.940 It's, like, pastors, comedians.

00:27:45.280 I'm not putting us in some special space or anything.

00:27:48.940 I'm just saying, oh, here you go.

00:27:50.860 Teachers or professors, but, I mean, like, look, it's—

00:27:54.260 But teachers, some of that stuff is kind of like they have to follow a curriculum.

00:27:57.860 Oh, dude, when somebody's tickling you, that's when you have to tell the truth.

00:28:02.520 Think about that.

00:28:03.980 A tickler?

00:28:04.560 if no not the tickler is a creep or whatever yeah but the person if you're being tickled

00:28:09.400 try you ever try to lie to somebody while they're tickling you uh it's impossible impossible yeah

00:28:16.300 maybe i'll be up there it's impossible that's why when i see all this waterboarding and torture or

00:28:21.440 whatever and all this horrible stuff they're doing to people sometimes i'm like dude tickle

00:28:25.260 yeah get in there unleash them get under their arm i don't know unleash them crawdads on somebody 0.88

00:28:31.260 and you'll get it grab your thigh right there oh oh dude bro where were you this is rjfk where 0.93

00:28:38.860 were you people you always knew you could get tickled like this right you knew that right

00:28:42.580 and even if there's a chubby kid and you grab that little donut around his midsection just 0.99

00:28:46.660 shake the freaking truth out of his little thick ass or whatever sorry and we'll edit that but when 0.99

00:28:52.360 somebody did that to you how shocked were you i didn't know that when somebody did yeah i remember 0.99

00:28:58.400 like I used to do it to my daughter too

00:29:00.660 like you'd grab their leg there

00:29:02.040 and then just be like well don't smile

00:29:04.240 don't smile

00:29:06.040 don't you know and then yeah

00:29:07.720 yeah that's right tickling maybe

00:29:09.980 it's going to be a big

00:29:11.520 it'll come back

00:29:12.760 but you need ticklers

00:29:15.360 so then where are you going to do that in a safe

00:29:18.180 we'll probably get government issued

00:29:20.340 ticklers and those people are going to be

00:29:22.240 they're not going to try

00:29:24.400 it's not going to be

00:29:25.500 you're going to have to be digging

00:29:28.140 into their fingers more like because you're like dude you're not even trying like you go here give

00:29:33.260 me your hand and then you have to do it and then you're like yeah yeah you're gonna be leaning more

00:29:38.740 towards it dude that's like oh bro that's so funny bro you're so funny dude that's like dude that's

00:29:46.300 like there's people sometimes at work we're like i'm the city like a city of i'm like a um liaise

00:29:50.980 onto the city and they segue around the town sometimes but dude sometimes those people like

00:29:56.260 one time we're trying to get information and the lady was running from us she like couldn't get 1.00

00:30:00.260 her thing to stop or whatever so she would pass by but you had to ask her really fast because she

00:30:04.640 was going and then another time the guys his got stuck or whatever like in a right hand pattern

00:30:09.720 or whatever he kept he he called it right hand pattern he's like it's in a right hand pattern

00:30:13.660 he's just sitting there just glitching like in a circle like just going in circles yes and we're

00:30:17.980 trying to like you know we're just trying to ask where's the monument yeah yeah dude it's just like

00:30:22.920 Dude, we're talking about Paul Revere, and he just kept dodging us.

00:30:26.300 Yeah.

00:30:26.940 Where's Daniel Boone's house?

00:30:28.920 And it just, and he's got, yeah, dude.

00:30:32.820 We're like, look, dude, we heard Harriet Tubman ate ice cream around here.

00:30:36.920 Can you just tell me?

00:30:38.440 Yes.

00:30:39.520 Heard Davy Crockett.

00:30:41.500 Yeah, we heard Davy Crockett and Betty Crocker actually hooked up around here one time.

00:30:46.460 They were around the same time.

00:30:47.820 Were they?

00:30:48.380 I don't know.

00:30:49.000 They had to have met up.

00:30:49.840 They had to have met up.

00:30:51.720 They would have at least known about each other.

00:30:53.500 Oh, yeah.

00:30:54.220 Yeah.

00:30:55.180 Davy Crockett was talked about a lot growing up.

00:30:58.040 He was.

00:30:58.580 Way more than it is now.

00:31:00.340 It was a big deal when I grew up.

00:31:02.420 Yeah, now it's like Travis Scott or whatever.

00:31:04.480 Yeah, it is.

00:31:06.620 And Davy Crockett is a good name.

00:31:10.060 I thought Davy Crockett, ouch.

00:31:11.780 Here's what I would feel, and I'm going off nothing,

00:31:15.360 but Davy Crockett was, when I was growing up, was the guy.

00:31:19.440 and I think Daniel Boone came in

00:31:21.680 and started a little overshadowing

00:31:23.600 Davey

00:31:24.120 I remember Davey Crockett because he had the

00:31:27.560 paraphernalia, he had the hat and I think

00:31:29.620 I don't know if he had a pistol or

00:31:31.580 if he had a

00:31:32.340 yeah, I feel like he had a gun

00:31:34.960 one of those old school guns

00:31:37.180 like a six shooter or something?

00:31:38.460 no, like a rifle

00:31:40.860 yes, that's it, bring him up

00:31:42.840 let's get a gander at him because yeah, who even knows

00:31:44.720 Davey Crockett and Betty Crocker are

00:31:47.000 unrelated except for the shared last name

00:31:49.040 which isn't even the same last name.

00:31:50.400 Yeah.

00:31:50.940 You want to take us through Davy Crockett there, Nate?

00:31:53.020 Yeah, Davy Crockett was a real 19th century American frontiersman

00:31:57.620 and politician while Betty Crocker was created in 1921

00:32:00.860 and is not a real person.

00:32:03.580 So that's tough.

00:32:05.440 But they were around.

00:32:06.880 So she was a catfish, basically, which she probably. 0.98

00:32:09.720 Oh, yeah, that was maybe the original catfish. 1.00

00:32:12.280 Betty Crocker. 0.89

00:32:13.020 Yeah. 1.00

00:32:14.000 He kept going, what's up with this Betty? 1.00

00:32:15.740 Where's this Betty Crocker? 1.00

00:32:16.780 They go, she just left. 0.98

00:32:18.360 Yeah, dude.

00:32:19.040 Yeah, he goes.

00:32:20.260 She was just here.

00:32:22.380 Can you get me information just about Davy Crockett, please?

00:32:25.620 Did him and Daniel Boone know each other?

00:32:27.840 Crockett grew up in East Tennessee where he gained a reputation for hunting and storytelling.

00:32:32.520 So he was kind of like a comedian, I guess.

00:32:34.660 He was made a colonel in the militia of Lawrence County.

00:32:38.320 He opposed many of the policies of President Andrew Jackson, where I'm from, Old Hickory,

00:32:42.600 which is named after Andrew Jackson.

00:32:45.360 He was elected to Congress.

00:32:48.300 I don't even know he was a congressman.

00:32:49.460 In 1836, he took part in the Texas Revolution

00:32:51.640 and died at the Battle of the Alamo.

00:32:53.520 That's why he was popular too,

00:32:54.680 because the Alamo.

00:32:55.380 Yeah, yes, the Alamo, yeah.

00:32:58.500 Crockett became famous during his lifetime

00:33:00.340 for larger-than-life exploits

00:33:02.040 popularized by stage plays and almanacs.

00:33:05.000 After his death, he continued to be credited

00:33:06.540 with acts of mythical proportion.

00:33:11.400 And then what about, let's go Daniel Boone.

00:33:14.380 Wouldn't he slide in there and steal his shine?

00:33:16.660 daniel boone born in 1734 while davy crock was born in 1786 52 years apart so boone was already

00:33:25.180 an aging frontier legend yeah yeah yeah so probably our grandparents our great-grandparents probably

00:33:30.280 heard more about boone they did and then we heard about crockett yeah and then maybe the truth has

00:33:35.980 come out that it's like look we need to go pretty heavy on boone because he was the originator yeah

00:33:42.320 once that big big business starts push pushing boon uh i like when they're like it's like he

00:33:47.880 was born around november 2nd like you're they go they weren't keeping stuff back then dude

00:33:53.640 in the general area yeah yeah like and then if he was like i was born in january and you're like

00:34:01.960 well yeah that's around it counts yeah it counts yeah dude he showed up in the springtime um he

00:34:08.820 He grew up in a Quaker farming family.

00:34:10.420 He became famous for his woodcrafts, hunting, and long-range exploration

00:34:13.320 deep into what was in the western frontier of British America.

00:34:16.580 Huh.

00:34:17.280 Pretty cool, man.

00:34:18.880 Everybody was kind of an explorer.

00:34:21.100 Yes.

00:34:21.680 You know?

00:34:22.340 Because it was...

00:34:24.280 I mean, I know that, like I'm saying, those guys did great.

00:34:27.260 But I bet there was a lot of guys that were like,

00:34:29.540 yeah, nothing was built.

00:34:32.100 Every step I took was a brand new step.

00:34:34.540 Oh, yeah.

00:34:35.140 You were just...

00:34:36.140 Yeah, you were just like a Magellan.

00:34:38.120 Anybody...

00:34:38.620 Dude, if you got a pair of running shoes, you were a Magellan.

00:34:41.620 Oh, yeah.

00:34:42.340 You were Christopher Columbus.

00:34:43.540 Imagine when those— 1.00

00:34:44.060 If you had hokas back then? 1.00

00:34:45.100 No. 1.00

00:34:45.600 I mean, come on.

00:34:46.920 Dude, you would be above Daniel Boone. 0.98

00:34:50.900 You were sponsored by the Spanish at that point. 0.95

00:34:53.080 You know what I'm saying? 0.96

00:34:53.920 He came up that way.

00:34:55.440 Dude, that's the way you came up, and they were like, we didn't see that coming.

00:34:58.160 Yeah.

00:34:58.600 This guy came through.

00:34:59.780 Yeah.

00:35:00.580 Dude, it is kind of crazy, because there was also a time where there were more woods, right?

00:35:04.980 Anytime there was woods, you were an explorer.

00:35:06.480 anytime yeah that has a lot to do with exploration because there was more woods that like less timber

00:35:12.760 had been cut down so i think you had that and then yeah just not knowing where everything was

00:35:17.260 being an explorer gosh you think you you think you could have been an explorer i mean i don't

00:35:22.200 think you have a choice i think you're just it but it's yeah i think i could i like exploring i

00:35:27.100 would like to go find some you know trying to really see like what's the path the best way to

00:35:31.540 go that's what's hard is there's not much left exploring you know you see like those untouched

00:35:36.300 tribes they talked about, and then you're like,

00:35:38.200 I don't even know if some of that's real or not.

00:35:39.800 It looks fake. A lot of that's fake.

00:35:41.100 Yeah, yeah. And so, I know in Alaska,

00:35:44.720 because they talk about Bigfoot

00:35:45.900 and, like, in Alaska, there's, like, so

00:35:48.140 much

00:35:48.600 land and stuff,

00:35:52.180 like, and with woods,

00:35:54.160 and, like, you go up to Washington, it's, like,

00:35:56.260 got the most trees.

00:35:57.940 Yeah, people don't even, yeah.

00:35:59.400 You can't. There's so much.

00:36:01.660 People hide and go seek for two years.

00:36:03.040 Oh, yeah. You couldn't. I mean,

00:36:04.860 there's...

00:36:06.300 If Bigfoot's real, it would be easy for Bigfoot to hide up there.

00:36:11.680 That's a good point.

00:36:12.740 Whereas, yeah, in other places like Modesto, it would be tougher

00:36:15.960 or up in North Atlanta or something like that.

00:36:22.020 It would be, yeah, Bigfoot's going to get seen.

00:36:24.600 Oh, dude, in Atlanta, Bigfoot's going to be at the club probably.

00:36:28.540 Yeah, yeah.

00:36:29.200 At the club for sure, dude.

00:36:31.500 Yeah.

00:36:32.260 People would have him feature on their albums in Atlanta.

00:36:34.920 Yeah.

00:36:35.620 Oh, yeah.

00:36:36.160 just yeah

00:36:36.800 come up and talk

00:36:38.280 yeah you don't think

00:36:39.100 Ludacris is gonna have

00:36:40.160 Bigfoot pull up

00:36:41.060 yeah

00:36:41.540 why would you not

00:36:42.760 you have access to him

00:36:44.240 yeah

00:36:44.940 yeah

00:36:46.040 and

00:36:47.020 you probably don't gotta pay him

00:36:48.220 he'd probably food

00:36:49.120 yeah

00:36:49.700 I don't even know

00:36:50.200 for sure

00:36:51.200 clean salmon

00:36:51.980 I'm thinking

00:36:53.460 also

00:36:54.420 yeah

00:36:54.820 clean salmon

00:36:55.580 you just give him that

00:36:57.240 and then he drops a

00:36:59.000 but they're gonna push

00:36:59.940 that narrative on him

00:37:00.680 that he's like a person

00:37:01.540 of color too

00:37:02.260 yeah

00:37:03.540 that would be

00:37:04.560 like he has to show up

00:37:05.940 and he has to collab on a track or show up.

00:37:11.680 He has to go to stuff.

00:37:12.760 Yeah, he's like, I mean, yeah.

00:37:14.180 We need you, bro.

00:37:15.180 Yeah.

00:37:15.500 We need you at Diamonds or whatever that place is,

00:37:17.520 Nipple Diamonds or whatever that exotic club there is, I think.

00:37:21.100 Oh, yeah.

00:37:22.300 One of them everybody got in trouble at.

00:37:24.680 All of them did, yeah.

00:37:25.680 A lot of them, yeah.

00:37:26.520 Well, they found glyphosate there on some of the women.

00:37:28.780 I'm always crazy how open they are about talking about that, the NBA.

00:37:32.620 they there's they talk about going to those clubs and there's no like you know we feel like there's

00:37:42.800 someone that's like hey let's not let's keep it a little quiet right like a lot everything else

00:37:47.620 they're like hey don't talk about that don't talk about politics don't talk about how you feel about

00:37:51.040 this don't be like kairi irving with his you know yeah don't express yourself but if it comes to

00:37:57.840 clubbery like strip club yep go all out or throwing tens of thousands of dollars on the

00:38:04.520 back of somebody yeah then please then say it say it all then yeah then share it magic city

00:38:11.520 that's the one they just got in trouble about oh did it yeah because the hawks used uh magic city

00:38:16.800 night which is the that's where they would go and this is similar i guess magic city night is it is

00:38:23.620 that similar to the nate raid at all or no this two different things it's it's along the line

00:38:27.780 it's it's what we were going for originally no but i love that you're doing this dude i love that

00:38:35.140 you were able to make that happen how did you make that happen with the uh with the theaters

00:38:40.400 and then also secondarily you know how many theaters you guys are opening up in

00:38:44.100 uh three thousand i think three thousand oh wow really yeah i think so i'm not positive i think

00:38:51.340 it's like that i think it's three thousand but it's you you know it's dude it's like meeting

00:38:58.180 uh you know we've met like uh you know amc that that head of regal cinemark cineplex like you

00:39:05.740 just kind of go to them and like they're all they're in the same business i always say this

00:39:09.420 i'm in the ticket selling business you're in the ticket selling business we sell tickets so it's

00:39:14.360 You kind of take stuff out of the hands of Hollywood in a sense

00:39:21.360 once you're in this ticket-selling business.

00:39:24.400 That's my relationship with the audience is you buy a ticket

00:39:28.620 and you come see me.

00:39:30.180 And so when you can kind of do that, I think you can go to these theaters

00:39:32.760 to go, we're all on the same page.

00:39:34.680 They want people coming to theaters.

00:39:36.880 I want them to come see the movie I made.

00:39:39.760 And so then I think there's ways around it.

00:39:42.740 And now we're in such a new world where you're, you know, you start meeting people and like

00:39:48.760 everybody just wants their businesses to grow.

00:39:51.760 And I think everybody took it for granted for such a long time because it was, that's

00:39:56.260 just what it was.

00:39:57.680 You know, like growing up, like growing up was, you know, growing up, you just went to

00:40:01.940 the movie theaters.

00:40:02.520 You couldn't do, there was no streaming.

00:40:03.880 There was a, you know, then once all the streaming stuff started happening, it's like, then they

00:40:07.800 kind of went hard into that.

00:40:09.400 And then I think left theaters.

00:40:11.220 and now you're getting back to where these younger generations

00:40:14.840 that are growing up with phones

00:40:16.660 and they're seeing their parents on the phone all the time

00:40:19.620 and they just want to go somewhere and they want to go do stuff.

00:40:24.780 And so then it's like there's a chance I think it will flip back to, you know,

00:40:30.380 I mean, you know, when you feel like I think every time I drop my phone,

00:40:33.640 I think I hope it breaks.

00:40:35.320 Oh, yeah.

00:40:36.020 I always just someone's like, oh, I'm like, it'd be wonderful it broke.

00:40:39.360 I hope someone steals it

00:40:41.600 I'll even go to a city

00:40:42.660 that has a lot of crime

00:40:43.440 and drop my phone there

00:40:44.500 a couple 10

00:40:45.020 see what happens

00:40:45.860 see what happens

00:40:47.620 and I'll even make that sound

00:40:48.520 and be let down

00:40:49.580 yes

00:40:50.020 I thought this city

00:40:52.140 had crime

00:40:53.620 and I was wrong

00:40:54.840 I'll even do that

00:40:57.420 when I drop it

00:40:58.060 point at it

00:40:59.240 yeah

00:40:59.640 but yeah dude

00:41:00.980 leave it way out of your pocket

00:41:02.620 back pocket

00:41:03.300 oh when my phone goes off dude

00:41:05.540 sometimes I used to wet the bed

00:41:07.180 and I would be like

00:41:08.400 an adult

00:41:09.060 which was the saddest part of it but after that uh there was times where i was like supposed to

00:41:14.500 like get up in the morning or whatever and then i would urinate all over my phone it was short out

00:41:19.620 and it would be like the best morning but yeah especially after something so sad happening

00:41:25.740 as an adult oh but then you're you get past that but then no then your phone doesn't work and

00:41:32.060 you're like man what a day yeah i leave my phones like on the road i but i'll have like an you know

00:41:38.680 you have an apple watch uh you have an apple watch like you have an apple watch you can have

00:41:43.440 apple watch with cellular yes so you can leave your phone and then like you know it's like one

00:41:48.460 of those like all right if someone needed to call me it's like you could throw airpods in or you can

00:41:53.220 be like hey i gotta call you back or text message or whatever um that's a big thing you do with kids

00:41:58.300 at first sometimes you give them an apple watch before a phone because they can't do too much

00:42:02.220 with an apple watch but you could you could get a hold of them my kid yeah i could be lucky to get

00:42:06.820 an apple and uh and watch what happens if you don't behave that's that's how i'm starting yeah

00:42:13.560 that's a start yeah is a good diet and then like light threat yeah and then we'll go from there to

00:42:19.860 see what else they get if they're well behaved but um oliver anthony just did something can you

00:43:28.940 I think it's 3,000 but it would be

00:43:31.240 funny if we go 4,000 you mean

00:43:32.740 No, I think 4,000 is the max.

00:43:42.760 Got it.

00:43:43.580 What was Oliver saying?

00:43:44.460 Yeah, I just saw this the other day.

00:43:45.460 Can you just play a little bit of it?

00:43:47.140 I could really use your suggestions and your advice.

00:43:49.720 I am looking for venues to play.

00:43:52.480 You know, I've started booking my own shows again.

00:43:54.500 So in April, we did those Virginias where I just rented the room outright,

00:43:58.840 and I sold my own tickets through this West Virginia ticket company,

00:44:02.040 and it was sweet.

00:44:02.740 It was like it bypassed the whole system and it actually worked and it went over pretty well.

00:44:07.620 And so I just announced again for the June 1st through the 3rd.

00:44:11.900 I'm doing Charlotte, Greenville and Raleigh the exact same way.

00:44:15.600 But I'm just going on Google and trying to find venues.

00:44:17.920 And so I have no idea what's good and bad.

00:44:20.200 But if you have places that you like going to see music that can hold.

00:44:23.660 OK, got it. So he was trying, I guess, some ticketing, I guess, ticketing maybe through the exact venues, I think, because that's a big thing for people.

00:44:30.740 and Oliver's always been like a pioneer of like trying to figure out you know how do you get

00:44:35.940 take away from you know some of these big groups like Ticketmaster and Live Nation it's just that

00:44:40.200 have these conglomerates you know it's a lot I mean there's Ticketmaster fees they're crazy 0.97

00:44:43.640 they're crazy here's the like you know they're crazy no no they're insane I I agree but here's

00:44:51.940 the thing with like how much work that was for him to do four or five shows right that's a lot 0.57

00:44:59.300 of work so it's like you got to get for him to if he wants to go if you want to go do it this way

00:45:05.780 you're going to need to build a system right and so you're going to have to have people that are

00:45:09.800 going to be able to help you to go do that you can go do that but you have to build a system right

00:45:13.480 or otherwise you're not going to be able to uh tour like the way you want to if if everybody

00:45:19.800 wants to go see him he's wonderful and all this and it's it's it's you know it's a lot it's a lot

00:45:26.420 work remember louis louis might still do it he did it he did it for a while he did it a long time

00:45:31.060 where you buy tickets through his website and stuff like that there's many ways that you can

00:45:37.100 go try to do it and i looked a hard part of this too is that some people are like i'll just just

00:45:44.860 let me go to ticketmaster dude i don't you know they it's our stub hub or whatever they're going

00:45:49.560 to go do and you're fighting that too so it's not like we all want to i look i always thought of it

00:45:56.040 like this. You're right. I never thought about that part of it. Yeah. Sometimes you're like,

00:45:59.380 dude, I don't, what do you want? Like if I really look at it all, even though it's like the,

00:46:04.840 I believe in the thing that you're doing, it's, uh, it's just so much work and you got to get the

00:46:12.620 word out and people have to find you and see you and all this. I don't know what he, where he wants

00:46:19.280 to be career wise. Is it like, like, you know, does he want to be the most biggest star in the

00:46:23.300 I don't feel like he, I feel like he loves where he's at and like, I think he just loves having

00:46:28.280 that relationship with the, with the audience, with the people, which is, which is, uh, amazing.

00:46:32.840 Uh, and so it's like, you should do that, but then there's a mix. You're the thing, you know,

00:46:37.080 it's, you remember doing like comedy clubs when you'd go try to do a rock, like for me, I would

00:46:41.380 go try to do a rock venue, uh, instead of a comedy club. And then you go to the odd, the people that

00:46:46.120 would come out to me, they don't know where this rock venue is at. So they've never heard of this

00:46:49.980 rock venue they just know where the comedy club is right now you're doing now you're yeah yeah

00:46:54.520 100 people show up yeah under a bench somewhere yeah okay yeah oh you just got word it's 3 300

00:47:01.760 theaters there um yeah i think so but yeah they charge all this stuff ticketmaster does all this

00:47:07.800 stuff they uh it's it's one of those it's a mafia yeah but you're you know but the audience

00:47:15.440 you know yes

00:47:17.500 it's frustrating

00:47:18.740 we're all frustrated by it

00:47:20.160 but then it's also like

00:47:21.740 people are busy

00:47:23.280 you gotta

00:47:23.900 how many people can you get

00:47:25.400 that are gonna go follow you

00:47:26.880 everywhere

00:47:28.300 I agree

00:47:29.360 when you make it like

00:47:30.540 yeah

00:47:30.980 you know and sometimes

00:47:32.000 when you give stuff

00:47:32.920 you ever know

00:47:34.120 like I waited tables

00:47:35.380 and so

00:47:36.420 I used to always think

00:47:38.060 Applebee's

00:47:39.820 right over here

00:47:40.540 Thompson

00:47:40.760 yeah

00:47:41.320 that's where me and my wife

00:47:42.320 I pray for all those people

00:47:43.600 over there

00:47:43.860 you met your wife at Applebee's

00:47:45.280 Thompson Lane

00:47:46.540 so

00:47:48.500 I don't know where

00:47:49.760 Thompson Lane is

00:47:50.340 but you know

00:47:50.900 do you remember

00:47:51.660 what day it was

00:47:53.360 or was it a holiday

00:47:54.020 it was the day

00:47:54.400 Daniel Boone was born

00:47:55.360 around about

00:47:56.540 around about

00:47:57.640 November 2nd

00:47:58.940 yeah

00:47:59.220 in the spring

00:48:00.020 in the spring

00:48:00.720 yeah

00:48:04.080 so

00:48:05.160 and you met her there

00:48:06.040 and how'd you meet her

00:48:06.840 was she working there 1.00

00:48:07.560 she was a waitress 1.00

00:48:08.860 and I was the host

00:48:09.780 you were a male host

00:48:11.880 a male host

00:48:12.600 and you've been a host

00:48:13.300 anyway

00:48:13.660 you've been a host

00:48:14.220 your whole life

00:48:14.680 Yeah, I've been a host my whole life.

00:48:16.360 And so, but I was, yeah, a male host.

00:48:18.640 Heck yeah.

00:48:19.120 You know.

00:48:19.700 Shout out to all the...

00:48:20.660 I was easy, you know, when you came in, you know, I was an easy, like, hey, you know,

00:48:28.620 wasn't aggressive.

00:48:31.340 No.

00:48:32.100 Yeah.

00:48:32.500 Yeah, like, hey.

00:48:33.460 Yeah.

00:48:33.920 Hey.

00:48:34.440 What do you want to do?

00:48:35.180 Where do you want to go?

00:48:36.400 You can talk me into where you want to sit.

00:48:38.960 Easily, huh?

00:48:39.600 Easily.

00:48:40.740 Easily.

00:48:41.200 Can we sit over by the window?

00:48:42.200 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:48:43.620 Whatever.

00:48:44.680 That section's wide open.

00:48:46.640 Can I go over there?

00:48:47.620 Of course.

00:48:48.580 We can walk over there.

00:48:50.360 Yeah.

00:48:50.880 Dude, sometimes you go in one of the sections that was closed off,

00:48:53.640 and they had all the baby seats parked over there.

00:48:56.000 Mm-hmm.

00:48:56.660 That always made me nervous.

00:48:57.620 I thought something had happened to all the babies.

00:48:59.620 Yeah, that's where they get, like, what's wrong with this restaurant?

00:49:03.200 There you go.

00:49:04.460 We've had some baby problems here.

00:49:06.220 Yeah, that's what I thought.

00:49:07.600 Yeah, and that's where they, were they upside down?

00:49:10.740 Some of them.

00:49:11.320 Yeah.

00:49:11.980 Sometimes.

00:49:12.560 Sometimes they were.

00:49:13.980 Ugh.

00:49:14.680 When I see that, I still think of that.

00:49:17.100 And sometimes they'd be stacked on each other or something, you know.

00:49:21.320 Yeah.

00:49:21.820 The old wood baby seats, they didn't have that anymore.

00:49:25.380 Dude, sometimes it would have a baby that had chiseled his name in the wood.

00:49:28.520 Oh, yeah.

00:49:29.520 You know?

00:49:30.340 That came a lot.

00:49:31.560 Yeah, like Ricky Jr. or something was written in there.

00:49:33.680 You're like, dang.

00:49:34.680 How about you come here?

00:49:36.380 Like when they see his family walk in, they already got it out.

00:49:39.240 Yeah.

00:49:39.740 Sometimes it would be like an unhappy baby.

00:49:41.420 It would say like Brooks was here, just chiseled in there.

00:49:43.680 Yeah.

00:49:43.860 Like, oh, that's a lot.

00:49:46.300 But waiting tables, back to my theory, is, you know,

00:49:52.240 you would always think, like, to get a bigger tip, I would, like, try to hook.

00:49:56.180 You'd be like, I didn't charge you for the Coke.

00:49:59.100 I didn't, you know, no charge for it.

00:50:00.860 And you thought, I thought, like, me hooking you up would mean a higher tip.

00:50:04.400 Right.

00:50:04.920 And it never did.

00:50:06.100 But if I charged you full price for everything, you would tip me more.

00:50:10.980 Got it.

00:50:11.280 so it's like that's kind of how stuff works where you in a weird we all because in my head

00:50:17.560 you're like yo dude i'm like you know i've taken off i've done what i can of like i can just get

00:50:24.360 you a coke and put water down yeah you know that's three four dollars i just saved you and then i'll

00:50:30.000 get you what you know i don't know like some random you're doing these little things that

00:50:35.300 and you think they're going to be like i'll get you one extra little but they tip off the price

00:50:39.920 they tip off the price

00:50:40.600 and they don't think

00:50:41.540 and sometimes people's

00:50:42.140 the math in their head

00:50:42.960 like well

00:50:43.240 I don't even know

00:50:43.960 how much stuff that was worth

00:50:45.020 and what do I do here

00:50:46.140 yeah

00:50:46.440 because they just want to eat

00:50:48.400 and like

00:50:49.000 just charge me

00:50:50.320 they want a bread stick 1.00

00:50:51.440 and they want to meet a woman

00:50:52.380 yeah

00:50:52.860 you know

00:50:53.920 yeah like Olive Garden

00:50:55.020 where they give you free bread

00:50:56.000 you know

00:50:56.440 it's like you tip extra

00:50:57.520 no

00:50:57.960 like I don't think you tip

00:50:58.980 you don't

00:50:59.540 you don't wrap that in

00:51:00.700 that's a big thing

00:51:01.880 they give you free

00:51:02.820 don't they give you free bread sticks

00:51:04.880 and maybe salad

00:51:05.960 or something

00:51:06.280 I think there's soup

00:51:07.180 even sometimes

00:51:07.700 maybe unlimited pasta

00:51:08.680 something like

00:51:09.180 It's like aggressive.

00:51:10.640 If you just run in there,

00:51:11.460 they'll give you

00:51:11.780 a half a handful of soup.

00:51:13.020 Yeah, yeah.

00:51:14.200 For nothing.

00:51:14.980 Yeah, for nothing, dude.

00:51:16.600 Dude, the assistant manager 0.94

00:51:17.660 will let you fricking 1.00

00:51:18.320 eat it right out of her hand 1.00

00:51:19.820 if she's nice,

00:51:20.600 if she's feeling good that day.

00:51:22.120 Yeah, you get

00:51:22.700 complimentary breadsticks.

00:51:24.460 Yeah.

00:51:24.980 But I wonder if they make you

00:51:25.860 feel guilty asking for them.

00:51:28.080 Yeah, like,

00:51:28.680 ah, well, let me see

00:51:29.360 if we have them.

00:51:30.980 Did you ever go to

00:51:31.480 O'Charlie's back in the day?

00:51:33.280 Do you know O'Charlie's?

00:51:34.040 Throw the peanut shells

00:51:34.680 on the floor?

00:51:35.260 No, no, O'Charlie's

00:51:36.120 was a different restaurant.

00:51:37.080 But they had these great rolls.

00:51:39.080 And I mean, the rolls were, oh, Charlie's has great, they have rolls now.

00:51:42.980 They did something to them.

00:51:44.180 They're not as good as they were.

00:51:45.700 I think they had sugar in them before.

00:51:47.800 And so it was almost like a Krispy Kreme donut.

00:51:49.860 But it was unbelievable.

00:51:50.640 And they'd get free rolls.

00:51:51.780 And you would set them down on the table.

00:51:53.820 And then everybody would be like, go ahead and bring another round.

00:51:57.160 And they'd even have five of them.

00:51:59.120 Yeah, dude, they were the best rolls in the world.

00:52:01.600 And everybody would go in, and you're just, you're really there for the rolls.

00:52:06.080 and you know and then you would feel embarrassed to be like you know they bring you a basket of

00:52:11.280 five and you're like before you turn around these are gone so go ahead and send another one out

00:52:18.140 and i think they had a pace they had a pacing problem they had to be like yeah we can't drag

00:52:23.640 it out yeah people were coming and looking in the kitchen and stuff yeah yeah because they i mean

00:52:29.120 they were the best people were texting the plug or whatever here's a solid copycat for charlie's

00:52:34.000 original rolls uh warm whole milk a six a cup of sugar uh dry yeast a beaten egg butter purpose

00:52:42.020 flour salt thank you oh yeah nice huh yeah maybe a little bit of sugar in it oh dude maybe they

00:52:48.100 didn't have sugar maybe i mean i don't know it might have been all that stuff it could have been

00:52:50.580 the yeast i don't know some yeast has a lot of it can be good if you do this recipe throw a little

00:52:54.620 sugar in it too yeah and if you're making anything for your family tonight throw a little sugar i do

00:53:00.400 Dude, pasta sauce.

00:53:02.920 Oh, that says six cups of sugar.

00:53:04.620 Yeah, I said it.

00:53:05.440 Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:53:06.160 Sorry, I didn't hear that.

00:53:06.940 No, no worries, man.

00:53:07.620 Yeah, see what I mean, dude?

00:53:08.980 I think they got rid of that sugar, and then they got into probably yeast heavy.

00:53:14.320 They might have went yeast heavy.

00:53:15.420 They might have went wet yeast.

00:53:16.860 Oh, that's the worst when it's real yeast.

00:53:18.620 You just put it in your mouth, and it just grows in your mouth or whatever.

00:53:22.020 Oh, yeah.

00:53:22.600 Like pop rocks or whatever, like pop rock bread or whatever.

00:56:31.840 there i mean it's a it's a town do they have real names or is it like kind of like an epcot center

00:56:36.260 no no it's it's like uh i mean some people have houses there then you rent them out

00:56:40.440 to people that come.

00:56:41.840 I mean, because when you were, you know,

00:56:43.620 when they're shooting these Marvel stuff,

00:56:44.920 I mean, you'd have to have, like, you know,

00:56:46.860 Chris Pratt or Robert Downey Jr.

00:56:48.960 You know, I mean, you can go live not in that town, too,

00:56:51.860 but, like, it's right across from the studio.

00:56:55.680 So you can just run over there.

00:56:56.740 But they have, like, ice cream shop.

00:56:58.780 Yeah, I just can't imagine.

00:57:00.040 You're, like, you go out in the morning or whatever

00:57:02.080 and you freaking, you know, Robert Downey Jr.

00:57:05.080 Al Pacino is, like, checking his mail or whatever, you know?

00:57:08.100 Yeah, yeah.

00:57:08.580 And he's like, whoa!

00:57:09.380 oh yeah yeah that would be the weird part for me dude yeah trillith town for marvel studios in

00:57:15.940 georgia could be the future of cities and do you does it come with a pet or anything like what's

00:57:22.260 the whole i think you know you can get whatever you want there but it's yeah there's so they did

00:57:27.840 all they did a bunch of marvel movies i bet this is an old article because it's uh it's not i think

00:57:34.060 stuff's coming back but now marvel's all in london okay got it but it was uh yeah this is an old 2022

00:57:40.480 but it was yeah it's like so they built those towns for like a lot of the workers like the idea

00:57:45.200 of the the union guys to be able to go live there and like be able to come sit there and work and

00:57:50.820 that's wild uh but they did yeah everything they did everything there you're too tired when you

00:57:56.260 get home to think about grocery shopping but that's okay the delivery robot has just rolled

00:57:59.640 up in front of your house with your weekly order and this is the trillith town um the four-year-old

00:58:05.300 residential portion of trillith was modeled after the building styles and village feel of european

00:58:09.600 cities um it's a new town for about 5 000 people created using the principles of new urbanism

00:58:17.220 a concept that means neighborhoods should be walkable and compact with varied built

00:58:20.960 with varied building types and less emphasis on cars oh that's pretty cool and each and they

00:58:25.860 would have different streets would be like uh i think it says european and british style designs

00:58:32.980 while other spots are more modern facade or i'll just say facades what is it faucets oh no facades

00:58:40.000 facades and they so you you could go shoot actually on that street so if you had like

00:58:47.400 uh shoot a british style movie oh you could shoot it on your neighborhood you could do in the

00:58:52.620 neighborhood and be like well these houses look like they're british and these look more modern

00:58:56.840 and stuff like that wow and you could buy you can rent it out uh and this is on perplexity uh ai

00:59:04.600 thank you perplexity um according to the article the town's amenities are geared toward a walkable

00:59:11.840 self-contained lifestyle retail restaurants a boutique hotel co-working space performing arts

00:59:18.920 center wellness center and an innovative micro school it also has lots of green space communal

00:59:25.700 parks and geothermal smart home design features wow yeah it's it's a great idea in the fact that

00:59:34.060 if you were trying to which they did so you're trying you're creating this studio and you want

00:59:40.880 the thing is is like it was uh you know the taxes is like now everything went to london like they're

00:59:47.940 all in london now because those they're making those movies and they're so expensive so it's

00:59:51.980 like they they they shoot a lot of stuff over there now they want to shoot everything there

00:59:56.020 there was that uh rob lowe talked about that thing where it's like for his game show it was

01:00:01.240 easier to shoot in ireland and fly the american audience to out to ireland than it was to cheaper

01:00:07.960 than film in la that's crazy man which i think it's now that la is like doing something like

01:00:13.600 But it got to that point where he was like, yeah, will you not?

01:00:16.700 Which this movie was like in Atlanta,

01:00:18.580 and I think we would have shot it in Canada or something.

01:00:23.280 But I was fortunately able to be like, well, I just wouldn't make a movie.

01:00:27.560 I was like, I'm not going to do that.

01:00:28.120 Or just too far away.

01:00:29.760 Well, it's like, yeah, man, I'm touring.

01:00:31.780 And you're able to, the great thing for any young comedian,

01:00:36.680 if you can, you just keep doing what you're doing,

01:00:39.300 you end up getting to hold a lot more kind of power.

01:00:43.600 You know what I mean?

01:00:44.680 Because you're like, I'm touring.

01:00:46.420 I have a thing.

01:00:47.400 I can do this.

01:00:48.420 So when you go do make something, it's not that you don't, you have like full control, blah, blah, whatever.

01:00:53.220 But it's like you can say no.

01:00:55.700 Yes.

01:00:56.100 Get the power of no.

01:00:57.060 Yeah.

01:00:57.200 So you can be like, it's like, we got to go make this movie in Canada because it's cheaper.

01:01:00.480 Then it's like, then I'll just either try to make it on my own or I'll figure it out or find something else.

01:01:06.280 I'm touring.

01:01:07.120 So you're like, whatever.

01:01:08.460 Yeah.

01:01:08.840 And then it's like, you know, there comes a balance where you can start.

01:01:12.700 I got a game show.

01:01:13.680 We shoot it here in Nashville.

01:01:15.300 They wouldn't shoot it in Nashville.

01:01:17.620 Did you try to shoot the film in Nashville?

01:01:19.600 I tried, but this one went, it was moving so quick

01:01:24.040 that it's like we could have probably,

01:01:27.780 but then it was, we needed to get it made.

01:01:30.920 And they have everything.

01:01:32.600 More infrastructure there for making stuff.

01:01:34.180 The thing about Tennessee is we don't have as,

01:01:36.540 you need the, like an A and B team of workers.

01:01:41.460 So, like, if you're shooting movies, you need, like, the union guys,

01:01:45.600 the ones that make the movies.

01:01:47.760 Like, you need them working on one,

01:01:50.060 then another team is working on the second movie,

01:01:53.260 and you're kind of able to flip-flop and whatever.

01:01:55.400 The second movie or a different scene?

01:01:56.320 Like a different movie or whatever.

01:01:58.160 No, I mean a whole different movie.

01:01:59.760 You've got to have multiple production crews.

01:02:02.200 Oh.

01:02:02.840 When their height of that trillith, I mean,

01:02:05.420 I think they were using 12 to 20 studios filming a lot of things.

01:02:11.160 oh i see what you're saying so they would have like as long as you're you're gonna have a lot

01:02:15.120 of crew in town right you do not have that we don't have we have crew here we don't have enough

01:02:21.480 to handle uh high demand of movies got it like you know you got like they're doing that rescue

01:02:28.140 9-1-1 nashville 9-1-1 or whatever it is uh here well that's the that's a great crew that's there

01:02:33.480 but if you have them doing that you don't have a crew that's just sitting that you could also

01:02:38.200 go shoot batman here so you need but we just don't have the infrastructure we don't have i think we

01:02:45.020 can right i think we can get it i think it takes time and you got to show that there's yeah you

01:02:49.880 got to take you got to show that you're really committed in doing it right yeah uh things have

01:02:54.760 to happen there needs to be tax incentives all that type of stuff then but atlanta has a ton

01:02:59.000 of that even for the example that neighborhood it's like they have a neighborhood built where

01:03:02.300 people can stay across the street yes that are from the studios yeah where they can all be right

01:03:06.720 there georgia was a place that jumped on that really really fast but you know then you see it

01:03:12.860 now a lot of stuff you know even left still wasn't low enough so then they still go out oh yeah

01:03:19.020 farther but i mean that's where you're in a movie business that's really reliant on these movies

01:03:27.140 that cost 500 million dollars to make or whatever and you're like well then you gotta stop making

01:03:32.900 movies well how much did you guys cost to make you said i think ours was like 38 million are

01:03:38.200 you serious yeah yeah i mean it's a it's a big studio wow i didn't realize all that man

01:03:44.040 congratulations i mean that's that's fascinating that's wild dude yeah i think it was something

01:03:49.220 like that um and mandy moore is also in it she plays your wife you have a couple of children in

01:03:54.680 it yep yeah the kids are great uh uh charlotte birdie and stella is the oldest that's birdie

01:04:02.900 uh and then but the kids are great and it's a it's a movie that's it's pg it's the idea of this

01:04:09.680 is you know i want you to go take your whole family out to go to it uh take your mom take

01:04:18.400 your grandma like you know it's i i i i just love that i love that when people can go out

01:04:25.900 and they can all go together i want to go to stuff with my family like you know you want to go

01:04:31.580 and then so you go look at a lot of movies now it's it's like a lot of horror movies

01:04:35.340 it's a good point it's horror it's a big or it's like a marvel movie or something or it's

01:04:39.820 or it's animated like there's no live action movies like this i think that are being made that

01:04:44.480 are pg and it's kind of the direction that i wanted to head in it's been a lot of your direction it

01:04:51.260 feels like why is that like overall like i get it 100 right like i get it and it's been so successful

01:04:56.180 for you right like um i think you're like the top touring comedian last year maybe i think

01:05:00.760 and i don't mean to get that wrong you know but um you know you attract like you know you can

01:05:06.900 attract all ages right your comedy's kind of for everyone it's for kids too even i don't write it

01:05:11.860 for kids but kids can come the point is like your kids don't have to leave the room got it like so

01:05:16.520 if it's on like but it's when there's tons of kids at my show uh not tons it's but there's kids at

01:05:23.660 the show right and you see them but i watch them and i can tell like they're not you know i they

01:05:28.460 don't like a kid's not gonna lie they don't get everything they don't get yeah they like some of

01:05:33.540 the dumb silly jokes but if i'm talking about like marriage and stuff like that they're not 0.95

01:05:37.100 going to be laughing at that or my but i know when they get in the car they're going to just talk 0.98

01:05:42.320 about the whole night right and we i hear that from parents like they're just like oh they just

01:05:47.480 kept but you know a kid doesn't know how to it just kind of sits there and stares but then

01:05:52.280 afterwards they just are excited they haven't been to an adult event and so this feels very adult

01:05:57.300 like you're watching yeah because it is you're being you're making it for you know my stuff is

01:06:02.420 not i'm not trying to make it like uh yeah like it's just kid friendly like a kid can come in

01:06:08.600 you're just not cursing you can get away with a lot more when you don't curse cursing is just

01:06:12.960 kind of like that's just what i've found but it's just what do you mean you can get away with a lot

01:06:17.640 more i think you can say a lot of things and talk about a lot of stuff and uh i think if you if you

01:06:23.960 don't curse it's i need to hear this it's uh it's like the cursing is what i think like it's just

01:06:34.240 that's what people hear that either they check out or they're like he's dirty or he's this or he's

01:06:39.560 that and so if you're in control of it just be in control of it maybe it's not saying you don't

01:06:45.580 have to curse but it's where is it and when is it yeah where it's a lot of i think the younger

01:06:53.060 comedians now it's you know they they start on the internet then they go to Netflix like no one's

01:06:59.680 like there's no boundaries where like we came we did live at Gotham I think the same year

01:07:06.060 right around and when you did that on Comedy Central you had you couldn't say whatever you

01:07:10.620 wanted to say that's not a bad thing that means you have to be creative in a scenario not saying

01:07:17.480 don't you can come on anything else and go say whatever you want to go say right but it's not

01:07:21.920 a bad thing to have oh like some tv boundaries around you yeah because then it makes you come

01:07:29.660 at stuff in different angles oh yeah i mean i fan i almost fantasize sometimes not fantasize

01:07:35.620 that's probably the weirdest word but i'm i think about that of like yeah i would like to get to a

01:07:39.980 place where i don't have to you know or not because i don't have to curse you but it's just

01:07:44.580 where i don't where i don't want to curse yeah i think i do it i don't even know why i do it i

01:07:48.680 think it's kind of how i operate in a regular day too so in the end i think it's probably just i

01:07:53.200 don't think of you as someone that would be dirty i'm not vulgar no no right like i'm not like

01:07:59.160 sexually explicit or like talking about something that i think is gross but i'll use some profanity

01:08:05.020 you know yeah some of it's just where i'm from and stuff like that i think but as an adult and

01:08:09.580 i don't have a family or anything yet i don't have anybody looking at me across the room saying why

01:08:13.600 are you saying that in front of the kids dude you know what i'm saying because i work for myself and 0.71

01:08:17.420 I'm a shitty employee. 0.93

01:08:18.600 Yeah. 0.98

01:08:18.980 You know,

01:08:19.460 I'm out back smoking and catching myself.

01:08:21.440 Yeah.

01:08:21.640 I'll go sneak around the corner,

01:08:22.780 smoke and then run around the corner and be like,

01:08:24.400 what are you doing out here?

01:08:25.320 You know,

01:08:26.060 the deep fryer is fricking acting up,

01:08:28.340 you know?

01:08:28.760 So,

01:08:29.640 but,

01:08:29.900 uh,

01:08:30.080 no,

01:08:30.340 do,

01:08:30.740 do whatever you want to go do.

01:08:31.900 But by the way,

01:08:32.620 no one thinks,

01:08:33.100 I don't think anybody thinks of you as a dirty Colin.

01:08:35.760 Yeah.

01:08:35.960 Thanks.

01:08:36.520 Like,

01:08:36.840 I don't think,

01:08:37.460 you know,

01:08:38.060 and curse,

01:08:38.740 do whatever you want.

01:08:39.540 Yeah.

01:08:40.100 Do whatever you want.

01:08:40.860 But it is a challenge.

01:08:41.660 I do.

01:08:41.880 I agree.

01:08:42.360 I love the fact that it's a challenge to yourself.

01:08:44.320 um is there is there a day do you ever like say well one day i'm gonna put out there's gonna be

01:08:50.120 like a dark folder i'm gonna put out of just the other side of things have you are you ever had

01:08:55.060 like have you ever wanted to have like an only fans where you just say like bad some bad words

01:08:59.180 on it uh no i just don't think uh uh i think i'm just past the point of where i would i you know

01:09:08.020 look i like whatever was it always like that yeah yeah i mean i we we grew up when i grew up it was

01:09:13.720 at cursing was, you know, my parents were, became Christian when I was born. And I have a joke

01:09:20.620 about it. They were the most Christian. And so like, you know, growing up here, Southern Baptists,

01:09:24.560 very strict rules. Like it's, it's, you know, I think churches, church is completely different

01:09:29.920 now. Like a lot of it's non-denomination and all that, but it's, then it was like, yeah, you did

01:09:36.040 it uh no one no i mean cursing was looked at and no one in my family my my parents did not curse

01:09:44.400 so i wasn't around yeah that's awesome like uh that so i have a not that i'm i'm not perfect

01:09:51.260 but my strictness in it in my act is just was like i was just never gonna do it got it and

01:09:57.640 then when i started that way it's like yeah it would be weird to go and it doesn't feel like

01:10:02.600 I'm ostracizing you for not doing it doesn't feel like that does it no no I think some people I don't

01:10:07.380 feel like you do oh but it doesn't it doesn't feel like I'm ostracized like I'm I'm envious of it

01:10:12.140 I think it's awesome you know and I think it just it just like yeah it makes it so it's ready for

01:10:16.800 everybody right like this is something that you can and a parent knows at some point I can turn

01:10:21.140 that on this is the thing that does get me sometimes I if our parents with their kids like

01:10:25.260 I don't know if I can turn these podcasts on because it's gonna have profanity in it or they

01:10:30.100 might be talking about some stuff that's going to be a bit obtuse for kids i think about that

01:10:33.820 sometimes with serious radio where it's like you you know you are you get into some stuff about

01:10:40.140 sports so you want to listen to some sports stuff and then it's like someone gets they're cursing

01:10:44.980 and you're like i'm just trying to like hear the score of the game ufc had like you know i mean

01:10:50.880 we're both giant ufc fans and uh i the pay-per-view events i'm fine with but like sometimes even if

01:10:58.120 you have to listen to something about ufc it can get like they can get cursing and all this stuff

01:11:03.540 and in like not to sometimes you're like i just wouldn't mind like if my daughter's in the car

01:11:08.900 not really paying attention and i would like right to just hear some ufc stuff can we have a channel

01:11:16.300 where it's like i just know you're not gonna that's very go nuts yeah like you know what i

01:11:22.480 mean like yeah because the only time she's gonna look up too is if she hears a bad word she'll look

01:11:25.880 up and she's gonna look at you like dad what are you listening to this and you're like i'm not you're

01:11:29.560 like i know i'm just trying to listen to uh like you just want it to be like local radio you're

01:11:34.840 like i'm just a gaichi fan what do you know give me a chance here you know i'm a colby look colby

01:11:40.640 covington it's hard to it's hard to keep him quiet he's just the word you couldn't listen to

01:11:45.680 i mean i have nothing against colby i don't he says all the craziest things oh yeah yeah well

01:11:50.840 a lot of those guys have to be their own advert when you think about some of those guys it's

01:11:54.440 interesting because they just wanted to fight but then they have to some of them have to

01:11:57.440 probably feel a pressure to become this other thing because you have to be their own pr company

01:12:01.600 in a way yeah yeah and look i don't feel bad it's not the fighters it's like just you wish

01:12:05.880 the commentators yeah they're talking about you're right i mean they do a good job though on ufc like

01:12:10.020 i i don't like when rogan and all them like they don't curse oh they're pretty clean on there yeah

01:12:15.620 i don't think they curse at all now when they go interview them but that's another thing that's

01:12:20.280 the fighter they're in the moment it's going to be hard not to yeah uh let loose and some of that's

01:12:25.480 part of what it is and but it's i do think ufc does a great job with like when it's daniel

01:12:30.480 cormier rogan and like they do not curse with john anick those three are the greatest the

01:12:35.280 greatest group that's ever done it and they also when they have bisping paul felder even when those

01:12:39.840 guys aren't doing it poirier's on there now chris weidman uh cormier i mean yeah but those guys are

01:12:45.220 all he's been great yeah yeah dude he's been great dude he's like yeah i just love like i

01:12:50.120 love seeing those guys get to be not just fighters and get to share their personalities um i gotta

01:12:55.500 ask you about i feel like such a freaking reporter now gotta ask uh dude so tell me about nate land

01:13:02.200 it's real it's real the theme park is real yeah okay yeah where are we at with it like what's

01:13:10.240 going on we're about to getting to uh some investing okay so we're about to start that

01:13:17.800 kind of process we uh have the land or we basically think we we know where we want the land

01:13:24.480 to be we have not we like we haven't said anything we're about the land uh or where it's at or

01:13:30.440 anything yet but we we've narrowed it down to basically this one spot and then so it's but

01:13:37.420 yeah i mean we're we have the renderings they're working on it every day uh we have story land

01:13:43.820 And Storyland is a group that – Storyland is a group they did – they've done stuff with everything.

01:13:51.400 I think they had some stuff to do with Epic.

01:13:53.220 It's a lot of guys that worked with Disney for a long time, and they started their own kind of company.

01:13:57.300 And they did all the Disneys in Dubai.

01:13:59.840 So Storyland is a company that helps make these things come to fruition?

01:14:03.420 Like they build them and everything?

01:14:04.920 Yeah, yeah.

01:14:05.520 Got it.

01:14:05.940 and so they they they make it they help you design all that designing all that rendering

01:14:10.880 all that getting that of the idea of what we're trying to do and is this a real render have you

01:14:15.960 seen this before yeah yeah okay and what is on this render can you zoom in on that photo for me

01:14:19.900 some uh it's it's gonna be so like it says nate land in the front like so that front area right

01:14:24.720 past the nate land is gonna be like a retro mall so that's like that would be open all year round

01:14:30.820 and you can go in there and you can have you know like we talked about like a netflix house that we

01:14:35.120 talked about earlier you know maybe you have something like that i'm not saying this is what

01:14:38.800 we're we are having in there but you could have some stuff like that restaurants stuff like that

01:14:42.900 that's open all year round you have three sections of the park you have a section to the left uh

01:14:48.780 which is roller coasters yeah yeah yeah i you know what's crazy dude i just went to uh her i was in

01:14:54.140 hershey pennsylvania you went to the uh uh hershey park no hershey park oh dollywood no i'm thinking

01:15:00.780 of kennywood i think i know kennywood too kennywood's in pittsburgh oh no we didn't go there

01:15:04.840 went to uh hershey park how was that it's it's awesome and so we rode some roller coasters

01:15:10.100 which were uh it was kind of roller coaster shopping which was crazy because you're like

01:15:15.720 well you would just ride well you know they had a few that you're like they rolled back the miles

01:15:19.620 on this yeah you go there you go no thank you uh but it was weird to be riding a roller coaster

01:15:25.460 being like yeah that was they go out that one felt great and then you're like you're you know

01:15:32.540 you're kind of like yeah let's do that one dude that's wild and who did you go with was that just

01:15:37.900 a family trip you guys no no i was on the road i was there i did shows there and so we had one guy

01:15:43.560 from storyland who came up and he kind of just walked me through and said uh one of for this

01:15:50.140 one roller coaster we're doing the roller coaster we're about to ride is very similar to the one

01:15:54.600 that we're looking at the same people made this roller coaster so you're kind of riding the

01:15:58.840 roller coaster knowing that that company is who would make that roller coaster or this is another

01:16:04.520 one so you're really riding some stuff and and getting a you know being like all right what's

01:16:09.660 this one kind of feel like what's this one do and and and how much is a coaster decent coaster uh

01:16:15.620 i found out like uh there was one there was one like uh uh like a big one might be like 30 million

01:16:26.520 dollars like or i'm not like you know i don't know if it's the biggest one but like a a kind

01:16:33.780 of newer very very good coaster they have we were get someone just trying to guess there uh was

01:16:41.940 about 30 they said 30 million dollars and then there's some other rides that were one was like

01:16:48.380 a new version of a tilt-a-whirl kind of but it was like kind of moved around you tried that out too

01:16:56.040 Yeah, yeah, we rode that, just seeing what that was.

01:16:58.440 And I think that was like $850,000.

01:17:01.580 Oh, that's one.

01:17:02.380 You can get that one.

01:17:03.120 That one you get in your house, you know.

01:17:05.180 You just got to lay away.

01:17:06.540 You can just have that.

01:17:07.880 Lay, lay, lay away.

01:17:09.500 Lay away, lay away, yeah.

01:17:12.440 Dang, I bet Kid Rock could get that thing.

01:17:14.580 Yeah.

01:17:14.940 He'd freaking do, but he'd probably.

01:17:16.400 But it's like, yeah, so you start going through.

01:17:18.900 He'd ruin it.

01:17:20.400 And this theme park, I mean, he would ruin the.

01:17:23.820 Sorry, I just had to say that.

01:17:26.160 He'd put it on the White House.

01:17:27.420 There's so many clips of me just roasting him,

01:17:29.480 even though we're friends.

01:17:30.200 I freaking love roasting him. 0.83

01:17:31.640 Oh, yeah, he'd ruin it, dude. 0.91

01:17:32.720 And he would spend his money on that

01:17:33.980 instead of buying his brother a new leg

01:17:35.640 who's missing one.

01:17:37.300 Shout out, Billy.

01:17:39.320 But yeah, go on.

01:17:40.940 Well, he should get a discount

01:17:42.400 and be like,

01:17:43.380 if you get 50 grand off,

01:17:46.180 throw that 50 to that leg.

01:17:48.020 That's what I'm saying.

01:17:48.520 He already wrapped his head around spending 850.

01:17:50.800 Yeah.

01:17:51.440 And then, you know what?

01:17:52.240 He could go, like, if Kid Rock goes, I'm spending $8.50 for this.

01:17:56.840 And then he goes to his brother and goes, if you can get any down, you can get that leg.

01:18:02.480 Right.

01:18:02.680 Whatever you save, you earn.

01:18:04.080 Yeah.

01:18:04.420 Yeah.

01:18:04.820 I love that.

01:18:05.680 And limb him up. 1.00

01:18:06.800 Oh, if I had a brother missing something, I'd limb his little ass up in a heartbeat. 0.99

01:18:10.800 But that's me. 0.98

01:18:13.340 So do you have a budget for how much you can spend on coasters for this thing?

01:18:17.200 Yeah, yeah.

01:18:17.820 It's all budgeted in.

01:18:18.900 Like, I mean, you know, we're looking, it's like roughly going to be like $350 million.

01:18:23.820 And then, yeah.

01:18:25.160 And is, will the land be a lease or will it be owning the land?

01:18:29.320 It's, there's a lot of that I can't get into.

01:18:31.380 Okay.

01:18:31.680 And how hands-on with you are all of that?

01:18:33.560 Like some of it, and some of it's obviously this, like the minutiae you wouldn't be involved in,

01:18:37.680 but yeah, how hands-on with you are all that?

01:18:39.980 I'm picking, picking the land.

01:18:40.940 I mean, it's crazy.

01:18:41.840 Cause you're, I'll be in this, in these meetings and I forget again,

01:18:46.140 that we were talking about like being in charge.

01:18:47.400 i forget like story land like all this stuff when you do this i'm paying for all this for them to

01:18:53.200 go do the feasibility study and like to economic study and i mean these are giant studies that they

01:19:00.440 do when you do investments to go to show the tax revenue that it can bring the jobs that you can

01:19:05.240 bring to nashville i mean the reason i love this idea and doing this is the idea of providing jobs

01:19:12.240 I want our customer, like the workers to be very much like, you know, it is Disney or like you think like Chick-fil-A where, you know, they're just great workers and you want people to be able to come there.

01:19:24.980 Someone like me that wasn't able to go, that couldn't get into college.

01:19:29.760 And like, so you don't know what, you know, my, I just was like, I'm a comedian, but it was before that you're like, I was a water meter reader.

01:19:37.120 I didn't know what jobs, you know, you don't meet people that have other crazy jobs.

01:19:40.840 You were reading water meters?

01:19:42.080 Yeah.

01:19:42.580 Oh, God.

01:19:42.860 I read from Mount Juliet.

01:19:44.160 Did you?

01:19:44.700 Yeah.

01:19:45.340 They got a lot of water out there, huh?

01:19:46.960 Yeah, yeah, a lot of meters.

01:19:48.620 And you had to go do it.

01:19:50.420 Because you can't just guess, huh?

01:19:52.200 Now I think they have it where you can drive by it,

01:19:54.600 and it just does it electronically.

01:19:56.720 I had to get out with a crowbar,

01:19:57.880 and you would lift up the thing and type in how much water.

01:20:01.600 And they have snakes in there sometimes?

01:20:03.240 Oh, yeah.

01:20:03.860 I remember one was laid right on top of the water meter.

01:20:06.700 And you got to get it.

01:20:07.920 That makes my body nervous.

01:20:09.140 Yeah, yeah, spiders.

01:20:10.960 And you never knew.

01:20:11.860 Every time you open one up, you're...

01:20:13.480 You ever find anything cool in there?

01:20:14.840 A little...

01:20:15.080 Somebody stashed a bag, a little bag of something.

01:20:17.800 No, I don't think I ever found anything like that.

01:20:20.000 No.

01:20:21.140 But...

01:20:21.340 Really?

01:20:21.860 Nobody hid nothing?

01:20:22.980 A little spare lunch or whatever?

01:20:24.280 I don't think people...

01:20:24.960 A little sack of Christmas ornaments or something.

01:20:26.840 It would be a good place to put something.

01:20:29.580 Because nobody thinks about that.

01:20:30.700 It's so accessible.

01:20:31.400 No one thinks about it.

01:20:32.000 Yeah.

01:20:32.360 I don't think they do.

01:20:33.440 But it would have been a good spot to put something.

01:20:36.320 But you'd see spiders up in there?

01:20:38.020 I mean, yeah.

01:20:38.980 That was...

01:20:39.420 Every one of them had spiders. 0.88

01:20:41.160 No.

01:20:41.800 They loved it.

01:20:42.640 And you ever see a clean one?

01:20:43.760 Somebody taking care of it?

01:20:44.960 No.

01:20:45.160 No, I mean, it's, you know, I mean, I guess a newer house, like, you know, one, I think

01:20:50.820 it just hasn't been through it yet.

01:20:52.820 But, yeah, I do remember this snake.

01:20:56.280 The snake was just curled right on top of it, and I had to get it off because I have

01:20:59.760 to lift the thing to read it.

01:21:02.120 Gosh.

01:21:02.880 Yeah, I sold Italian food door to door for a while with this fella, dude, and that was

01:21:07.680 a dang.

01:21:09.360 Pizza or just all Italian food?

01:21:10.820 Huh?

01:21:11.020 no we had bread rolls we had um italian it was like this thing called italian caviar or whatever

01:21:20.720 but it was really just like raviolis yeah and then uh what else okay uh like um pastas balonese

01:21:32.780 they had

01:21:34.000 arraviata

01:21:34.960 what else

01:21:37.420 I think they had

01:21:40.580 vodka sauce pizza

01:21:42.160 or something

01:21:42.660 I don't know

01:21:43.880 but we just had

01:21:44.440 I delivered pizzas too

01:21:45.640 you delivered pizzas?

01:21:46.960 Pizza Hut 1.00

01:21:47.520 you worked the damn 1.00

01:21:48.540 Pizza Hut dude 1.00

01:21:49.280 they're redoing it

01:21:50.160 you saw that

01:21:50.500 they're coming back

01:21:51.160 oh yeah

01:21:51.820 you know why

01:21:52.620 because it's experiences

01:21:53.280 that's a big thing

01:21:54.840 that's a big reason

01:21:55.580 it's stuff for people

01:21:57.620 to do

01:21:57.900 because we had that

01:21:59.780 you remember

01:22:00.920 they used to have

01:22:01.300 a buffet

01:22:01.720 pizza buffet

01:22:02.360 that pizza

01:22:03.220 it was great

01:22:03.720 you kidding 0.99

01:22:04.060 where would your mom fight 1.00

01:22:04.820 it's when your parents 1.00

01:22:05.420 had a real

01:22:06.020 something serious

01:22:06.660 going on in the marriage

01:22:07.360 they'd take you there

01:22:08.580 yep

01:22:09.000 that was something

01:22:10.060 serious was happening

01:22:10.940 and it could be

01:22:11.640 something good or bad

01:22:12.540 Ford Waters

01:22:13.180 and you got a Sprite

01:22:14.560 dude

01:22:15.320 hope they didn't notice

01:22:16.120 with those big red cups

01:22:17.040 hope they didn't notice

01:22:17.560 yeah

01:22:17.940 I would buy

01:22:18.860 I would buy

01:22:20.340 five dozens

01:22:22.140 of those red cups

01:22:22.980 the Coke

01:22:24.500 any soda

01:22:25.280 tastes the best

01:22:26.020 out of that

01:22:26.660 it's true huh

01:22:28.000 it's the best

01:22:28.800 now they had

01:22:29.240 a particular

01:22:29.840 type of ice

01:22:31.180 in there too

01:22:31.700 I think

01:22:32.080 yes a little bit like a little shave sonic yeah it was something different something was different

01:22:37.040 i think having a unique ice it's little things like that that can add a lot of texture to a place

01:22:41.700 um a little bit more about nate land so so some things obviously you have to get the funding to

01:22:46.680 make sure you can get the space so some things it's like this happens then this happens it's

01:22:50.380 like a domino falling effect yeah if they're like i mean it's right now i'm spending all the money

01:22:56.800 for it and now are you putting your own money in with somebody else or what's going on just my

01:23:00.860 money so you're the only money right now this doesn't go anywhere i will be in big trouble

01:23:05.780 no i mean i would be touring for the rest but it's like right now it's on it's just me what

01:23:12.180 made you make that choice it's a big choice and no judgment and i think it's a cool choice i think

01:23:15.980 it's a good choice what makes you make it and i wish you the best of luck with the deciding i'll

01:23:19.880 go over there thank you we'd love to uh it's uh you know my first job was a theme park i worked

01:23:28.500 at Opryland here in Nashville and I was 15 and so I don't know they then they got rid of that

01:23:35.640 my senior year in high school and I mean the whole city kind of was like why would you do that like

01:23:40.700 it was a profitable theme park everybody kind of liked it I I'm not saying from that day I was like

01:23:46.660 I'm gonna build a theme park but then as I got uh why did they close it do you know they they got a

01:23:53.000 mall there's a mall there now Opry Mills mall and it used to be Opryland a theme park yeah right

01:23:58.480 Right there?

01:23:58.980 Yeah.

01:23:59.220 I don't even know that.

01:23:59.880 Yeah.

01:24:00.200 I don't even know if,

01:24:01.500 it'd be curious to see if there's a reason.

01:24:03.580 I don't know if there'd be a real reason

01:24:05.240 on the internet, to be honest.

01:24:07.660 I think that it was like maybe,

01:24:09.320 like it was like just easier to have a mall

01:24:11.180 than it would be a theme park for whatever reason.

01:24:14.000 Got it.

01:24:14.340 Operland USA closed in 1997

01:24:15.800 because its parent company, Gaylord Entertainment,

01:24:18.820 wanted to transition, sorry, crazy name,

01:24:22.280 Gaylord, because Lord I think is straight. 0.94

01:24:25.020 Yeah.

01:24:25.480 Wanted to transition the seasonal theme park

01:24:27.460 into a highly profitable

01:24:28.460 year-round retail

01:24:29.380 and entertainment complex.

01:24:30.700 Understandable.

01:24:31.620 Yeah.

01:25:49.760 Congratulations on that, dude.

01:26:06.580 So when I got to that, I go, all right.

01:26:10.300 Like, I just felt like, what am I?

01:26:13.100 What's the next?

01:26:14.660 You got to have something else.

01:26:16.420 It can't be.

01:26:17.100 You know, I got to assume that if I keep becoming a great comic,

01:26:21.200 the arenas will come.

01:26:22.140 I'll be able to do Madison Square Garden.

01:26:23.460 I'll be able to do all this stuff.

01:26:24.740 So I have to believe in myself that I can do that.

01:26:27.300 But then what's the purpose of me?

01:26:29.360 And I thought, it can't be about me.

01:26:32.880 This life cannot be about me.

01:26:34.820 Or I'm going to go crazy.

01:26:36.560 And so from that moment is when I was like,

01:26:40.640 I'm going to start Nate Land, the company.

01:26:42.340 The idea of being able to make some movies,

01:26:44.580 the movie that we're making right now,

01:26:46.460 the breadwinner and then uh you know i thought of a theme park and thought like you know what i want

01:26:52.120 to build a place where you know maybe all my ideas can go live this theme park's not going to be about

01:26:56.900 me it's about the state of tennessee but or it's about you know it's called nateland and there's

01:27:01.940 going to be easter eggish stuff but people think it's going to be a like a shrine to me it's not

01:27:07.520 it's you know it's going to represent nashville and all this stuff it's like you just got to have

01:27:12.200 someone that has the vision to be able to want to go do it did you guys have choices for different

01:27:17.300 names is nateland because it's the production company so you just named it the same thing

01:27:20.620 it's just always been yeah nateland is uh and i get it look i mean you worked at it you worked

01:27:24.900 at a theme park you came up with it it's like i certainly get i think it's the it's the trust

01:27:29.680 the reason the reason it's named after me is the trust if you get if i can keep trust with my

01:27:35.160 audience with this audience that we do and that's the biggest thing so they can trust that they know

01:27:40.000 that they can see what i'm doing then it's like you kind of need to know who's making like who's

01:27:46.780 behind this i see so you're putting yourself i'm putting my i will sell the tickets got it

01:27:51.580 the responsibility of that park thriving is on me i need to sell the trick it tickets i need to keep

01:27:57.540 the trust that i have with this audience that's on me that's not anybody else's problem i'll do it

01:28:03.200 that's that's what i feel has been bestowed upon me that's i'm just doing what i feel i'm being

01:28:09.080 asked to do called to do did you pray about it kind of too like if you had it because this is

01:28:12.920 some of these are big choices not that you need to yeah yeah no yeah yeah a lot of it is i mean a

01:28:17.400 lot of it is you feel very much like you know doors and and stuff and your ideas and stuff that

01:28:24.380 you think of or it's not even yours it belongs it's like a higher power oh yeah yeah yeah i very

01:28:30.200 much you you i mean you can visualize a lot of stuff and then i think when you can easily

01:28:35.360 visualize something you're like and then the doors start opening that way then you go that's

01:28:40.520 the direction you need to kind of head in where if you're if you're if you want something else

01:28:44.380 but you're having a hard time visualizing it then you're probably forcing and that's probably not

01:28:48.280 the direction you need to go in you need to just like you just kind of follow the lead and uh as

01:28:54.980 we did nate land and then it was just kind of like excited you got me excited now because yeah

01:28:59.120 you hear little things you see things on x and stuff like that but you don't know you know and

01:29:03.240 So I feel so lucky that I'm getting to listen to you talk about it.

01:29:05.760 Well, yeah, it's, I mean, you know, one of the things I do,

01:29:08.520 I want, you know, eventually to, I think when you go to Nate land,

01:29:11.260 maybe you don't really know who Nate is.

01:29:13.420 And it's not about that.

01:29:14.460 Like, it's about everything there.

01:29:16.580 Oh, one day, that's what everything becomes.

01:29:18.160 It's like you don't even know.

01:29:19.380 It's like you go to, like, Applebee's or whatever,

01:29:22.320 you don't know who Roger Applebee is anymore.

01:29:24.460 No.

01:29:24.960 You know?

01:29:25.760 No.

01:29:25.980 Or whatever.

01:29:26.660 Or you go to, like, Tim Hortons.

01:29:28.580 Logan's.

01:29:29.080 You don't know the Logan.

01:29:30.320 Oh, yeah.

01:29:31.100 You don't even know Logan's.

01:29:32.080 I think Ernest lives there now.

01:29:33.420 He's living in one of them.

01:29:34.600 Ernest T. Bass?

01:29:35.620 No, Ernest.

01:29:37.560 Oh, the singer?

01:29:38.500 Yeah, Ernest the singer, dude.

01:29:40.700 For Logan's Roadhouse, he's kind of like John Daly is for Hooters.

01:29:44.300 I think he lives in the back of one of them.

01:29:47.620 Bless him, brother.

01:29:48.460 Bless Ernest.

01:29:49.040 He has a new album coming out, too.

01:29:50.860 I've got to get him and Willie Robertson in here,

01:29:52.320 so I'm not going to sit and chop it up.

01:29:53.940 Those guys are funny.

01:29:56.160 But no, dude, I just understand it more.

01:29:57.740 Now, take me on some of these rides,

01:29:59.460 because I know you've already thought about some of the rides.

01:30:01.560 Wait, first of all, hold on.

01:30:03.240 Is there going to be a water facility?

01:30:05.020 You're not doing the water thing, huh?

01:30:07.000 Water park?

01:30:08.740 No.

01:30:09.600 No.

01:30:10.160 Because also people get electrocuted.

01:30:11.500 I'm trying to say what I can't say.

01:30:12.580 Yes.

01:30:12.960 People get electrocuted.

01:30:13.980 In water parks?

01:30:14.940 Yeah.

01:30:15.520 Really?

01:30:16.420 Well, I mean, they're not going to...

01:30:17.660 If you get electrocuted, this is kind of crazy.

01:30:20.080 Because if it rains.

01:30:20.800 Yeah.

01:30:21.460 Yeah.

01:30:21.820 Well, if it rains, it's more water.

01:30:23.020 But if you get electrocuted, do you have to have water to get electrocuted?

01:30:27.880 No.

01:30:28.160 I've been electrocuted.

01:30:28.760 I got, like, cheated up on a food truck that was selling seafood, illegal seafood.

01:30:35.760 You know, you've been to Portland.

01:30:38.400 You know, Portland would always, I thought of this, or like, like I said, like food trucks, right?

01:30:46.960 Like people make fun of like, because I'll go to McDonald's and all this stuff.

01:30:49.660 Then people go to a food truck and they'll be like, they're raving about this food truck.

01:30:53.020 You're like, this guy had his food in his Honda Civic all night.

01:30:56.320 You got to trust that he took it home.

01:30:58.340 Yeah, dude.

01:30:58.860 And you go, who are you to tell me that mine's at least in a building and frozen?

01:31:03.380 I've always thought that.

01:31:04.500 Yeah. 1.00

01:31:05.080 Like, they would call, especially people from the South, like, rednecks.

01:31:07.120 But, dude, this guy, yeah, you know how close that is to his gas tank?

01:31:11.220 Like, he's cooking right over.

01:31:13.440 New York City is like, you know, it's like, then there's been a long line in a food truck.

01:31:17.760 And you're, you know, it's like, oh, that's okay.

01:31:20.820 And you're like, McDonald's is safer than that.

01:31:23.880 Yeah, dude.

01:31:24.400 I don't want a quesadilla that got here at 80 miles an hour.

01:31:27.920 Yeah.

01:31:28.420 You know?

01:31:28.920 That's got tire marks on it

01:31:30.240 because he backed it

01:31:31.000 because he got in a fight

01:31:31.960 that morning with his wife

01:31:32.860 and he ran out.

01:31:33.920 Yeah.

01:31:34.480 But he had the plastic over him

01:31:35.780 so he's like,

01:31:36.180 it doesn't matter.

01:31:37.140 Like, you know.

01:31:37.840 Like, that changes everything.

01:31:38.780 Yeah, it changes everything.

01:31:39.160 If you put plastic over something,

01:31:40.360 it changes everything.

01:31:41.700 A little saran wrap.

01:31:42.560 Yeah.

01:31:43.320 Yeah.

01:31:44.000 If he's like,

01:31:44.420 oh, dang,

01:31:44.820 this is like three days old,

01:31:45.620 you put some saran wrap over it.

01:31:47.460 Who knows?

01:31:48.180 Who knows, dude?

01:31:49.000 Like, he just put it together.

01:31:50.280 Who knows?

01:31:50.540 Kids back there,

01:31:51.300 it's like when you get an Uber

01:31:52.080 and there's a car seat

01:31:52.920 and you're like,

01:31:53.340 I don't want to be a part of your life man

01:31:55.100 I just want to ride in an Uber

01:31:56.580 Yeah I didn't know Kevin Hart was in here earlier

01:31:58.620 Did you get us to be on the roast?

01:32:02.240 I think so

01:32:04.280 But I mean that's just not my

01:32:05.580 Kind of thing

01:32:06.460 So I mean it would have

01:32:09.020 I had a show at the same time too

01:32:11.100 You did?

01:32:13.120 But yeah they did it

01:32:14.780 They did the roast

01:32:15.520 Oh none of the roasters I don't think had a problem with the jokes 0.82

01:32:18.320 Oh wait except for Chelsea Handler did I think 1.00

01:32:21.480 Chelsea Handler came out and said that 1.00

01:32:23.080 she has a problem with some of Shane and Tony's jokes maybe.

01:32:26.660 I don't think with the roast, I think it was Shane and Tony.

01:32:28.600 Yeah, I think she had a problem with them.

01:32:30.380 Good call.

01:32:30.940 She kind of said the – yeah.

01:32:32.580 I was like, I don't know about all the jokes, mainly Shane and Tony.

01:32:38.080 Do you feel like in that kind of instance,

01:32:39.680 if people are signing up for something like that,

01:32:41.260 it feels like it's like fair game, unless it's like vile, you know, maybe.

01:32:45.240 I think it's got to all be fair game, just signing up for it.

01:32:47.620 I mean, it's like – I know, you know, it's like one of those,

01:32:51.160 like where are you going to say the line is uh the roasts have just they've just i believe

01:32:57.260 have gotten to the spirit of the roast is kind of gone you're you're not really having people

01:33:01.340 on there that love each other and so if there's no love shown then uh it's it's it just gets mean

01:33:09.220 and uh you know and but i mean not saying that they did they did what they were asked to do

01:33:15.000 right i thought they a lot of them did a great job you know i was very happy for big j okerson

01:33:19.360 killed it yes uh yeah big j i was very happy uh you know i've been big j we started with him like

01:33:26.600 uh so jay crushed it and naeem lynn i thought crushed it and uh i like naeem lynn but those

01:33:33.480 are those people have a connection with uh kevin hart yeah and so they there's there's there you

01:33:38.940 can see that the love is there i thought shane did very good uh or like you know moving along

01:33:44.860 hosting it like it's a hard thing to it's a lot it's a lot to go do uh yeah people did

01:33:50.280 what they were supposed to do but i mean these roasts it's like uh they're just mean some of

01:33:57.960 the feeling you're right dude some of the feeling that you get with it it's like it's intense it's

01:34:02.980 funny and some of it is like some of it is kind of like yeah what feeling do i really leave here

01:34:11.120 with in the end right like i leave with some temporary highs for sure oh that was crazy that

01:34:15.800 was creative even something that's edgy and dark can be still be very creative but yeah some of it

01:34:20.860 it's like does some of this really make me feel good or does like yeah i think i thought kevin

01:34:26.300 hart did great handling a lot of it too because yeah it was like it wasn't you know he you know

01:34:33.120 kept saying like this is what you signed up for and yeah he kept the energy the messaging was good

01:34:38.100 from him afterwards like because i mean it was like such a tough crazy it's a crazy but it's like

01:34:43.580 i mean you know you what you i think if you do roast if you go look back at the old roast and

01:34:49.840 stuff these guys the the people that were up there were really are you as far as i knew but they

01:34:55.880 really knew each other or they were really friends are they there was actually love really shown so

01:35:02.460 you could go do stuff and when there's no love shown and with some of them they don't even know

01:35:07.780 each other it's like it's going to be it's going to be tough Cheryl Underwood did great like hand

01:35:13.300 what you know the stuff they were saying but how she handled that she has a great laugh and like

01:35:19.200 so it's like she handled it well she handled it very well and like uh yeah I had a joke I was

01:35:23.900 singing while she was there I was like oh she looks like Prince put his finger in the new power

01:35:27.780 generation that was something I that I thought of boss who was up there you know because I like

01:35:31.760 were you at it and thinking the jokes no I wasn't at it I don't want to go like I don't want them

01:35:36.840 catching my face if I see something

01:36:26.480 that as much but i don't share it because i need somebody's acclaim or approval no i understand

01:38:08.560 them i will let me run one i know just for an evening just do theo night i do a theo night

01:38:14.980 you run it and then you get on it with them but you don't pull the safety thing down you go oh i

01:38:34.560 he goes i don't need it or you just hold it and you see if you can go do it i'll let you do a

01:38:39.720 roller coaster i don't just to yeah just to let me dj at one night or something oh yeah or what

01:38:46.620 are good rides i'm trying to think for like even for young like i wish they had a ride that helped

01:38:52.340 you like the lisp fixer or whatever oh like a spinner just something like it just spun you so

01:38:58.740 much the lisp just flew right out counterclockwise yeah spinner counterclockwise yeah time after time

01:39:06.800 remember that song yeah you can rush you can buy you can still find me was that a time after time

01:39:14.740 Is that a song about Lisp?

01:39:16.220 I don't know who sang that, but I just think if they had a,

01:39:18.460 or the underbite fixer or whatever.

01:39:20.480 I'm trying to think of a good, like a ride that would like, you know.

01:39:23.280 Underbite fixer would be just we have a guy walk around,

01:39:25.420 he just punches you. 1.00

01:39:26.700 Yeah.

01:39:27.600 Undercut.

01:39:28.280 And you don't ever know where he's at.

01:39:30.340 Yeah.

01:39:31.060 And you just know when you go in with an underbite, we've clocked you.

01:39:35.260 Yeah.

01:39:35.860 Facial recognition, all that stuff, we can tell.

01:39:38.460 And then he's just a guy that's just, you know, he's going to get you.

01:39:43.760 and you know he's going to get you yeah but he's going to get you so good that you're never going

01:39:47.280 to see it coming and we fix that underbite i like that yeah no charge i like that idea or yeah if

01:39:53.820 they had like the glp1 the ozempic ride yes and when you get off and it make it spins you so fast

01:40:02.120 that you get a little leaner because of how it does your body or like when you take a shirt or

01:40:06.980 towel and you put it in the washer and you do the spin cycle yeah and it comes out it almost stand

01:40:11.820 up itself it's got so much centrifugal in it yeah well you do that boy get your mama so spun around

01:40:18.020 you dang you know what i'm saying she'll fit into a size one and a half yeah yeah yeah she'll fit

01:41:05.060 Yeah.

01:41:06.100 You know? 1.00

01:41:06.820 Or something that would just do a bunch of women's hair. 1.00

01:41:10.720 You know, they put this on you like this, the cover to cover your body,

01:41:13.840 like to hold you in, but then they put that head thing on you.

01:41:17.140 Oh, yeah.

01:41:18.380 You know?

01:41:19.120 And then they get out, and everybody's beehiving,

01:41:21.480 walking out of there looking like Marge Simpson and her two sisters.

01:41:37.680 where you're going to fit right in. 0.89

01:41:39.800 Let me run that crocodile tank.

01:41:41.880 It's going to be a swamp pot.

01:41:45.220 I'm just sitting over there

01:41:46.120 petting a crocodile,

01:41:47.000 and we took all his scales down.

01:41:48.520 We used a wood thing

01:41:51.900 to take his scales down low,

01:41:53.400 and you can pet him.

01:41:54.980 De-sharpened him.

01:41:58.020 What about the mouth?

01:41:59.520 You're like, mouth is forgot.

01:42:01.000 We forgot about that.

01:42:02.840 He goes, do you know how expensive it was

01:42:04.180 to do the top part?

01:42:05.740 and that's when the guy undercuts him,

01:42:08.640 the car cut up,

01:42:10.200 and you go,

01:42:10.800 golly, that guy was worth,

01:42:12.300 it's like a butter bean,

01:42:28.300 I'm not gonna pretend I knew him great,

01:42:29.980 but I knew him enough,

01:42:31.300 we would communicate,

01:42:31.980 and got to podcast with him,

01:42:34.200 and got to go down there

01:42:35.820 and see him one time

01:42:36.680 down at his bar

01:42:37.560 and restaurant

01:42:39.140 and a fan of his son, Nick.

01:42:43.420 Eric David Scott Esch,

01:45:24.020 They're not doing medium.

01:45:24.860 The medium wells burn it.

01:51:46.080 it's like i don't know what to do kind of yeah and it's kind of like interesting and my first

01:51:51.200 thought is just go back out on tour like figure out and go back out and maybe that is what it'll

01:51:56.280 be what i'll do like you know get a new hour and go out but it's but do you get to parts in your

01:52:00.840 career where you're like and in your life right where you're like well now what do i do and then

01:52:06.280 what happened with this where you're like okay this is like a feasible real thing that i can

01:52:11.040 take on um and maybe you already answered that for me sorry no well i would say you know the hard

01:52:18.080 i think the hard part when you want to do something like this it's so weird and it's so different of a

01:52:23.100 thing that you want to go do so you do get a lot of people just being like why why are you doing

01:52:27.200 this what do you want like you know if you're calling it nate land you're like why are you

01:52:31.000 calling it you get a call it after you get all this kind of stuff like that and i think that's

01:52:35.300 the hardest part is just kind of sit and wade through those kind of things and not let you

01:52:39.680 because it is crazy, but I know I'm doing it for the right reason

01:52:44.620 and I just got to believe that, you know, I'm doing it for the right reason.

01:52:48.680 And so you just got to sit and just kind of like, you know,

01:52:52.620 it feels like it's kind of a joke and maybe people think it's a joke

01:52:56.520 and I understand that it could be a joke, but it's like,

01:53:00.040 what if I do build a theme park, dude?

01:53:02.300 Like, what if I do it?

01:53:03.360 Like, that's crazy.

01:53:04.640 You know, I don't come from any world where I should be building a theme park.

01:53:08.820 yeah i come from old hickory there's there's nowhere in my growth of a child to high school

01:53:19.400 any of this that you would ever be at a point there's no where that i should even had the

01:53:23.520 success that i should have had yeah so then you got to go to where you start going like well then

01:53:27.500 i'll just start i'll just keep going till someone says no until they you know well mike lindell had

01:53:33.740 to my pillow yeah and you want to sell that probably out of them i'll sell that yeah you

01:53:39.920 wouldn't you wouldn't have saw it out of them probably oh no no no no not at all people have

01:53:43.220 all kinds no but like yeah like that's what i think when uh when when you have these ideas and

01:53:48.880 you want to go do something it's like just it's like you got to just go do it dude yeah and the

01:53:53.380 hardest thing is you got to sometimes you know it's it's going to be people that you know that

01:53:58.320 they're the you know that sometimes can be your friends or whatever that can be like what are you

01:54:04.020 doing why are you doing this those are the ones that kind of come and they they you know they

01:54:09.140 don't understand and some of that is uh some of it's jealousy i think some of it is you're leaving

01:54:13.760 people behind that's like that thing that you could see we're getting in shape i'm not in shape

01:54:18.260 i want to get in shape but it's like i don't know if someone or anything if someone does something

01:54:23.620 that they can like you're moving forward and i think they just like go why why are you doing that

01:54:31.780 yeah dude well i mean i i even had questions about it i was curious about it right i didn't know i

01:54:36.320 was like oh this is interesting but i just heard rumors right and i was like i yeah the name had

01:54:41.000 popped into my head like oh why would he choose that what's going on right um i choose it because

01:54:46.240 i knew you again like well now i get it trust it oh dude after talking to you like yeah i get

01:54:51.220 exactly where it is you know yeah um and it is weird why sometimes our brains will jump to like

01:54:55.940 i think some of it is probably a little bit of jealousy to be honest or a little bit of like

01:55:00.480 um wow he's brave enough to do that and i don't even know if some of that's jealousy maybe a

01:55:06.740 little bit i'm not talking exactly about me really i'm just talking like it's interesting man but

01:55:11.400 then like you say nothing happens unless somebody does it no one's yeah no one wants to no one

01:55:17.760 wants to do stuff and look at Walt Disney it was he had both of his names in it yeah yeah yeah he

01:55:23.080 went heavy yeah he went all the way in dude but you go see these guys like people are stuck where

01:55:28.740 they they they see stuff get built and people have these ideas and they think we can't do it again

01:55:33.400 you know why can't you do it again right why can't you we had a theme park here I'm not picking a

01:55:37.240 city that's never had a theme park Nashville and Houston are the two cities that can sustain

01:55:42.540 a full theme park I already know all the stuff right I've already done all this stuff I'm paying

01:55:47.700 people that know how to do this stuff to do it I'm not I'm looking at all of it I'm not doing

01:55:54.320 anything that I would never I have a good gut feeling of when I feel overwhelmed or not and so

01:56:00.440 I can tell when it's like if I start feeling panicky like then I'm like like this may be back

01:56:05.940 off or this or that or whatever and uh so i very much believe in you know what i'm doing and what

01:56:13.820 i'm supposed to be doing and it's uh you know you have a mix where you go like i don't know if i

01:56:19.180 even have a choice it's like it's just i'm doing do you do this but i'm just doing it somebody's

01:56:23.880 got to do it someone's got to do it i'm doing it and then maybe it's gonna be good maybe it's not

01:56:28.040 gonna be good like oh like what if i don't make it what if i do make it yeah well it's the same

01:56:31.540 with making a movie it's the same with anything it's like what maybe you know you always think

01:56:34.780 And anybody that says no, you're like, what does it matter?

01:56:37.260 What does it matter if I – who cares?

01:56:39.360 Yeah.

01:56:39.720 What does it skin off of your back?

01:56:40.800 I don't want anything from you.

01:56:42.160 Right.

01:56:42.860 I don't want anything from – I want people that either buy into what I'm trying to do or just don't.

01:56:50.380 Yeah, that's the same way I feel about it.

01:56:51.660 Even if it's like trying to ask out a gal or do something like that, it's like when I lay there at the end of it all, I want to be like, man, I tried this.

01:56:59.800 I tried that.

01:57:00.860 I want to smile and think about the things that I tried.

01:57:03.300 Yeah.

01:57:03.680 You know?

01:57:04.000 And you got to think, too, with comedians,

01:57:06.260 look at the success you get where just you're talking.

01:57:10.040 We're just talking.

01:57:11.500 We don't have a movie.

01:57:12.520 We don't have music behind us.

01:57:14.920 We don't have, that's just us talking.

01:57:17.380 Yeah.

01:57:18.000 So, like, if you start, that's what you think about movies

01:57:19.920 where you're like, yeah, if you go put a movie behind,

01:57:22.980 you know, not that everything's going to work or whatever,

01:57:25.400 you're like, it's the most purest art form.

01:57:28.360 So if you can get to a high level of just.

01:57:30.640 Oh, movie's scary.

01:57:31.980 Straight up that.

01:57:33.140 Well, movie's scary because you don't know if it's how it's going to be until the day of, dude.

01:57:38.980 Yeah, yeah.

01:57:39.260 And that's very nerve-wracking.

01:57:40.940 And I'll say this, dude.

01:57:42.220 We made some mistakes for sure.

01:57:46.300 I'd never watched the movie with an audience until I sat in there and watched it at the premiere.

01:57:51.220 Yeah.

01:57:52.200 And that was bizarre, dude.

01:57:55.140 Because you're almost like, I'd watch it on my computer a bunch at home, like when I'm editing and putting in notes.

01:57:59.380 but then you're like it almost felt like it sounds crazy to say dude like i was watching like

01:58:05.800 something i wasn't supposed to be watching with other people it's almost like watching

01:58:09.360 porno or whatever because you're like yeah i should this is something you watch by yourself

01:58:13.820 and suddenly i realized as it starts i'm like whoa yeah i've watched this already this is

01:58:18.680 something i'm supposed to watch by myself yeah i don't think this is for mass consumption

01:58:22.520 so that was so freaking harrowing dude how we did a premiere it is very it's very weird to watch

01:58:29.860 yourself and you're you're like ah i should have done that or i should have done the you know

01:58:34.380 yeah or just yeah i mean yeah but to just do it like like stand-up you're almost like i don't

01:58:38.820 watch my stand-up or i'll watch it maybe once but it's like you've done it so much that i think

01:58:44.500 maybe you're kind of used to be like yeah in a movie you're like you just feel like you feel

01:58:48.820 like everybody else is like a real actor and you're like i don't know what i'm doing yeah yeah

01:58:53.420 it's crazy oh the immense feeling of i don't know what i'm doing yeah you know um but well dude for
