Baretti. >> And I will find a [music] song I've been. singing. >> Yeah, dude. [music] I saw some guys. talking about. when you would sleep. Remember when you. were a kid, you would sleep over at. somebody's house? You remember that? >> Yeah. And you woke up before them. >> Yeah.

>> And just like because you kind of had to. pretend you were asleep. >> like you were ready to get up and go, >> but it wasn't your world. It was their. universe. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I would think the the big, you know, that's when you're a kid. Then the. biggest opposite is when you're older. and then everybody's up, you know, in uh. meet the parents. >> Yeah. That like scene made me laugh so. hard when like Ben Steeler comes. downstairs and everybody's been up for. like a couple hours cuz that what I.

relate to that I think even as a. comedian, you know, it's like we like we. can stay up late and whatever. >> You're always the guy wandering into the. into the world late. >> Yes. And I mean people are like I I mean. we I I know people outside comedy they. have like a meeting at like 6:30 or 7. Like a meeting. >> in the morning. >> In the morning. >> Yes. >> And you're like what? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For what? Like maybe. with God. Maybe that's early.

>> I could see that. Yeah. Yeah. >> You know, or an actual meeting with the. son. Like if you got an email from the. son, it's like, "Hey, I'm we're going to. need you there.". >> Yeah. Like the literal son. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> If he was like, "Hey, I'm here.". >> Yeah. Either son. >> The sun shows up early though. >> Yeah. Yeah. The sun. >> The sun shows up early. >> 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.". >> Yeah. >> Just let me get my bearings a little. bit. >> Yeah. 7:30 meetings. They say they have.

those. I think I want I would want to be. that though. >> Oh, so that's something like it gets a. little bit aspirational. Yeah, dude. I've been and I hate to say this cuz I. don't even want to hear myself say this. >> Yeah. >> I think Oh god, it hurts even coming. down to my neck. Um I think I'm a I. think I'm a mourning person. >> You know, I could. >> And you know what I'm saying? I'm sorry. to say that. >> Uh well, I think it's, you know, it's uh.

>> I don't want to apologize to people who. can't even handle hearing that. >> Yeah. Because they want you to be a. night person. Well, as a comedian, we. are night people, >> right? And I think there's something. But I think we go opposite. Like it's uh. we want structure. I like not to. talk about my movie right now, but like. I'm saying when I shot the movie and you. you just shot a movie, there's like. structure, right? You winner. That's the. movie. >> The bread winner is the movie. Uh but. like when you shot your movie, uh it's.

you got to be on set at this time and. this this this is and I loved it cuz I. don't think we have structure as. comedians. >> and we don't come from any of it and we. go. >> I I remember I wrote for the Spike Video. Game Awards like a long time ago. >> and um. >> is Spike is it volleyball? What was it? >> No, I remember that TV show or that T. network spike. I think it was like Spike. TV. >> Oh yeah, Spike TV. They did like a bunch. of like random It was like right when we. were like in New York like 2008 200.

>> Oh yes, I do remember this. >> Yeah. Yeah. It was like a dude's. channel. >> What were some of their top shows? Look. up top three shows on Spike TV. >> The They had the game show or video game. awards I want to say. >> Oh, Ultimate Fighter started on there. The reality show launched the UFC and. modern MMA into the mainstream. Interesting. >> Blue Mountain State. >> What's that? Blue Mountain State. That. was uh that was a show with Reacher. Uh. I know his real name, Jack Reacher. I.

look like Jack Reacher right now. And. this is what he would wear. >> Do you I look like Jack Reach around. [laughter]. >> Yeah. I don't. >> Well, and my body doesn't, but this is. he wears a shirt like this. >> Alan Richardson. I know. Al like. >> Oh, dude. Yeah. Somebody always talks to. me about him. >> Yeah. So, he was started out in Blue. Mountain State, which is on Spike TV. >> Wow. And then um yeah, Spike TV was like. uh a little bit ahead of its time. Like. it's it's almost a channel that Bar. Rescue some pretty good stuff, man.

>> Bar rescue. A thousand ways to die. No. thing. I'll take one way. >> Yeah, but you would want to know the. other. >> I don't need to know a thou at a. thousand. You're just get you you'll. stay alive forever just looking through. all of them. >> That is but that's. >> maybe that's a reverse psychology. Maybe. that's the plan. Yeah, you can see I. mean because it's going to be a spider. bite. It's going to be you step on a. nail in an artery. I don't know if you. are you on VA. >> Yeah. If you fall off a building and. land like one of your arteries lands on.

like a little nail or something. >> Yeah, there's a lot of Yeah. Anyway, there's a lot of ways. >> Bar rescue. Okay. Spike TV. Anyway, go. on. Sorry I interrupted you, but I just. forgot about Spike TV. Yeah, you know, it was a it was a great it was a good. channel, especially like hidden age. demographic. You know, this is on dude. Entourage. We were just I was just. talking about Entourage. Entourage was. on during this time like so it was. >> Oh, on television not the same channel. Yeah. I didn't know that Alan Richen. even just to think that that's like that. Blue Mountain State was there that the.

UFC kind of like sort of became. mainstream by going on a spike TV and. getting like eyeballs that way. >> He was like we'll take whatever you got. >> I didn't understand that. Look up once. more. >> Spike TV was this Mountain Dew can. >> It was what? >> Everything it represents. >> Oh yeah. American. >> just American American do with Spike TV. >> Yeah. Thousand ways to die. UFC. >> just shotgunning. [clears throat]. >> Mountain Dew. >> Blue Mountain State. Yeah, it was all of. it, man. >> Um, what what were you what were we.

talking about? So we talking about Spike. TV. You see you went into Spike TV. >> Uh, the struct like having structure. with the movie. >> Oh, the movie. You got to be Yeah. Like. I do I'm not a person that has any. structure. >> Oh yeah. And comedians aren't in. general. So when you're on set, you were. saying like, "Yeah, you get this. further." Oh, it's great. And they tell. you to even comedians I noticed uh they. told and I don't know if they did this. on Brewood, but they told me we told I. lied to myself, but that uh to be like. they would set the call time 45 minutes.

really. It was later because they knew I. was going to be a little bit late. >> Oh yeah. Uh yeah. I don't know if we I. think that's I think that people have. done that to me. Yeah. >> Yep. >> To get you there. >> But I would show up like I've been late. to stuff. It depends on what it is. If. it's something that I know I should get. to, I I'll get to. But if it if it's. not, you can sometimes it's like Yeah. It just there's a lot of stuff. It's I. think it's hard being your own when. you're your own boss. >> Yeah. It's you can get lost a little bit. and you can get you know you want to.

sometimes look for someone to go no or. yes and then you realize there is no one. to say no or yes. >> Yeah. It's just you. Yeah. It's just. you. >> Yeah. I real I realize that I work for. myself and I'm not the best employee I. realize. >> Mhm. I could Yeah, that makes sense. Like it's Yeah. You you could you don't. live up to maybe what you're doing but. you know then but if someone sees what. you're doing they're like you're doing. everything. >> right. So then they're like, "You're. doing great." And you're just gonna beat. up yourself.

>> Uh. >> Oh. Yeah. >> Because you think like, "I should be. doing more." I mean, I think about like. that, you know, I should be. >> Oh, yeah. When you're working structure, I have no structure. >> Yeah. >> Athletes have structure. They have like. >> routines. Yeah. Yeah. There's no like. comedy. There's not like a bell that. goes off early in the morning where it's. like comedians grab your pens. >> and start your writing. And we, like you. said, if [clears throat] you're a. morning person, you think that goes. against everything that you're supposed. to be because your shows are at night. And when you come up, you're out very.

late, but then the longer you're in it, you kind of like want to just get up. earlier and have a routine. >> Yeah. >> And then it's like that's my fantasy is. just to have a routine. >> Oh. To adhere to an alarm clock. That's. >> Oh, yeah. >> That's a fantasy of mine. >> Yeah. Yeah. Not a lot of alarm clock, you know. You don't set alarm clocks. because it just doesn't. >> Dude, I would set my alarm clock and. then hide my phone in between the. mattresses on the other side of the bed. that I slept on. >> Yeah. >> So like over there and I would never.

even hear it. >> cuz it's quiet cuz it's under the. mattress. It's quiet. >> It didn't stand a chance. So I wanted. structure but I was just not willing to. adhere to it. Yes. [clears throat] I'm. like I work for myself and I'm the worst. employee. I would I would go smoke. behind the dumpsters like I was hiding. from myself. Like what are we even. doing? >> Yeah. I think you want someone to be in. charge. Yes. >> I had an old joke. >> and unfortunately it's you every time. That's the problem. You had an old show. What? >> I had an old joke where I said uh you. know it's like with the thing with. comedy is like if you wanted to quit.

comedy there's no one to quit to. [snorts]. >> So you like can't call Seinfeld and be. like, "Hey, I'm out." [laughter]. Like there's no one. No one cares 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. have this giant audience and you quit, then you feel like you got to you can't. just quit. No. >> Because then everybody's like, "Where. you at? So, even if you wanted to quit, you're like, I don't know. You got to. what do you do? Make a video? And then. everybody's like, why are you quit? And. you're like, now you're quitting to. millions of people. >> Yeah. >> And you're like, no, I just wanted to.

>> Yeah. >> kind of slowly fade. >> Yeah. >> Daniel D. Lewis, I always think, is an. act like you don't know anything about. that guy. >> You know, he comes out for, you know, just to basically win an Oscar and then. >> he goes back. >> goes back to whatever he does. And that. guy, I don't know what he does. >> Yeah, I don't know what he does either. And Daniel Day Lewis. Yeah. I mean, he. has Day in his name. That's So, >> probably gets up early. >> for sure if he's putting that in there.

>> Yeah. >> Um but yeah, no idea. Comes out, gets. his thing. Boy in the uh Left Foot, Red. Foot fan. >> My Left Foot. >> My Left Foot, dude. >> No, I haven't seen it, but. >> it's pretty good. It's Have you. >> It's older. Yeah, I've seen it. >> really. It's about. >> Does it have anything to do with his. feet? >> Yeah. >> Oh, really? It does. >> Bring it up. Let's just find out. What. was it? My left foot. Hold on. Let me. take a gander at what I thought it was. really quick. It was a man, I believe. I. think there was like a train accident.

He gets his It takes place like in the. south. He gets one of his feet hit by a. train and then he has to operate and. fall in love, I guess, with just only. his other foot. He has to fall in love with someone else. with only his other foot to be able to. like hand them a flower. >> His left foot is like it's like. >> it's necessary. >> It's a big deal. >> Yes. Let's see it. No one expects much. from Christy Brown. Daniel D. Lewis, a. boy with cerebral pausy. Born into a. working-class Irish family. Okay. >> No train.

>> Little different. Uh. >> that's a train. >> With the help of his steely mother and. no shortage of grit and determination, Christy overcomes his in infirmity to. become a painter, poet, and author. Oh, is it like a true story? >> Though Christy is a [ __ ] quadriplegic. and essentially paralyzed, a miraculous. event occurs when at the age of five, he. demonstrates control of his left foot by. using chalk to scrawl a word on the. floor. >> Oh yeah, I remember this now. Different. movie than I was thinking, but still a. great movie. >> You Yeah, the train.

>> Yeah, I was thinking of fried green. tomatoes. That's what I was thinking of. I just realized that. >> that has a train in it. >> Yeah. >> Oh, >> a little crossover. Yeah. Um, >> that's but that's a good you know the. only train movie I can think of is that. one Denzel Washington. >> Oh, >> it's good. >> Training day. [laughter]. >> I don't think it's Training Day. There's. one where he Yeah, there is an actual. >> Oh, is it not Training Day? >> But there's one that there is a. Unstoppable. >> Oh, I haven't seen that. >> It's great. >> That's kind of where I'm at. I haven't.

seen my left foot, but. >> I've seen uh No, Pelican 123. Maybe. that's it. Oh, Pella. >> Yeah. Yeah. Is that got a train? I think. there's a train in that. >> And was there a movie called Training. Day? >> There is. >> Is Washington in it? >> Nothing to do with a train, but that was. D. Yeah, that's Eagle won an Oscar for. that. >> Oh, okay. >> Or maybe maybe. >> we shouldn't go to the theater, I don't. think. But uh but you have. >> This was good. >> You have a new movie. You have your. movie's coming out. >> Yeah. No trains.

>> May 29th. >> May 29th. Yes. >> Bread winner. >> Bread winner. And it's in theaters. >> In theaters. Um, and you have a Nate. rate. What did I see you? What is this? >> Yeah, we got the we we we talked to all. the movie theaters and uh got prices. lowered. >> Nice. >> So, yeah. Yeah. Just cuz we want the. whole family to come out. It's. interesting with movies, man. You start. looking at like theaters like, you know, you guys make your in distribution all. this like, you know, think about touring. like there. It's hard not to think about.

movies and touring is kind of like the. same kind of thing. you know, you get a. promoter, you get this, you go to every. town, like if you make a movie and you. go to these theaters and they're in. every single town and you kind of go. like, did you hear about that kid on uh. YouTube? He did a horror movie and he's. got a bunch of subscribers on YouTube. and he's he's a big horror fan, I think, and they made a movie. He made a movie. and I mean it was, you know, it was. going to go out to a few theaters. Then. his fans just started calling their.

theaters being like, "No, we wanted to. come." And it was like a huge success. >> And he made it for I want to say three. million. And then uh yeah uh iron is it? Yeah. It's like. >> something iron. No. >> iron something. >> It was iron something. >> And then. >> Iron Lung. Yeah. >> Was that it? >> Yeah. Grossed over 50 million. I think. he made it for three. >> Wow. >> But it was like that's a guy that just. basically did it like a tour like how we. would tour and sell tickets.

>> Markiplier. >> Mhm. That was in guys named Markiplier. And what does it say? Can you take me. into the the what happened with the. movie? >> He just made it. He said he wanted to. make it. >> The Iron Lung movie was independently. self- financed and created by YouTuber. Mark Fishbach. Markiplier, who wrote, directed, produced, edited, and starred. in it, operating without a major studio. He shot the film over 35 days using a. life-siz 9,000lb submarine set mounted. on a hydraulic motion rig. Wow. After. struggling to find traditional Hollywood. distribution, he self-distributed the.

film. Massive fan campaigns convince. major theater chains uh to screen it. The indie film became a massive box. office hit grossing 50 million made on a. $4 million budget. Wow. >> So he had his fans all call I mean they. once he said he wanted to go out he was. in a few theaters and his fans kept. calling their theaters and their towns. and they said they want to see it and. then he went out and said it. $4 million. budget. >> That's amazing. That's incredible, dude. But that's where you see movies where. you're like that guy did it kind of like. how you would tour on a comedy club like.

you're going and selling tickets just in. these towns, >> right? >> And so if you got a big following like. that that tours and you go make a movie. I mean I you know it's like can he go do. that? You know I understand the uh one. time is kind of like oh yeah it's crazy. So it' be magic if can he go do it again. or can he repeat it? And. >> yeah it's interesting. I mean, even with. our own movie, I don't know what we sold. compared to like if I were touring in a. place as opposed to people that came out. to go to the theaters.

>> Um, >> I know, well, I don't think it was. close. But I do know that I had a lot of. friends who were like, "Dude, I haven't. been to the movie theater in 8 years.". Yeah. >> 10 years, right? I had a lot of people. who went to the movie theaters by. themselves, dude. We had one video of a. dude, he sent it in, he went to the. movie theater, nobody else was in the. theater, right? He ends up watching uh what was this. dude's name? I got to find it. We'll put. it in. He ends up just taking his shirt. off and sitting there and watching the.

movie by himself relaxing. He was the. only guy in there. [laughter]. >> Watch the whole thing by himself. This. dude, I think it's like. >> it was this guy. It's like this like. Latino guy. He's at work and he's like, "Bro, I'm [ __ ] tired, but. >> I want to go see this movie. I don't. know." And then you see him walk in. He's like, "Nobody's even here." And so. then like 10 minutes later, he's like, "I guess I'll just enjoy myself." And I. don't know what happened after that. I. mean, he just We know he had the shirt. off and watched it. >> Um, oh yeah, this is him right here, dude. This is the guy. Can you pull it.

up? >> Yeah, I just got off of work. >> I got thising movie I'm trying to go. watch. [snorts]. >> Dude, I don't feel like doing [ __ ] to be. honest. >> Look, I still made it in this. But look, check it out. Ain't nobody in this. [ __ ] bro. [laughter]. the mother to myself cuz [music]. every tune you purchaseion makes buying. windows easy. >> He just took it home.

>> And he had to set the phone up somewhere. and do this. >> That's kind of a vibe though, dude. That's him right there. Golden. cheeseburger right there. Golden. cheeseburger. Shout out him being a hard. worker. Went to catch. >> I've never even thought about wanting to. take your shirt off. I think people. 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 off, but I mean if someone wants. to, buddy, they want to. >> Oh, we know a guy. >> Yeah. Yeah, we do. >> Yeah, we know [laughter] a guy. >> Yeah. Sometimes I wish we had tried to.

go in more theaters, but. >> going to uh. >> But yeah, taking your shirt off, but. going what? >> Going to the theater alone, man. That. like it's pretty great. That's something. you do a lot as a comic on the road. >> You can hit some, you know, you go to. some movie at noon. >> Yeah. >> And you're just by yourself on there. >> Oh, yeah. Have you ever had someone come. sit right next to you? I've been by I've. been like by myself or like maybe one. other comic and then two more people. walk in. They sit in the seats in front. of us. >> Oh, >> drives me nuts. >> And what do you do?

>> I'll move. >> Yeah. >> Cuz I or I sit there and just. >> be angry during the whole movie. >> Yeah. >> Cuz why would you do that? >> Oh, dude. Yeah. >> Why would you sit right, you know? Just. go sit. It's empty. just go sit like. >> somewhere. >> somewhere else up. >> And but here's the thing though, if you. sit too far away from that person, you. think they feel kind of left out or. something. >> I would No, I would go as far as away. from them. I'm one that doesn't want to. really be.

near someone. >> Well, of course, near someone in a dark. theater that you don't know. That's. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I think you got to have space. I mean, I. would sit like when you go with a buddy. like we don't sit next to each other. You have that empty seat. And. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. When we went to Kevin James movie, you and I sat next to each other and we. kept a seat between us. >> We kept a seat between us. >> Like civilized people. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We were normal. >> Yeah. >> And we enjoyed the movie more. >> Oh, yeah. It was good, dude. >> Yeah. >> Like Beetlejuice. You ever been to You. ever see that guy? Beetlejuice. >> Mhm. From Stern.

>> We called him up. We offered him money. to come on this podcast one time. >> and he said no. >> This is what he said. This is the crazy. part. He's like, "Where you going to. where you going to leave the money at? And I couldn't like. >> Yeah. >> And he he. >> And just from there it was like. >> Oh, it was downhill. >> Yeah. >> It was so hard. He's like, "Yeah, where. you going to put the money at?". >> Yeah. >> And I was like, "Oh." And I couldn't. explain to him like at the bank or. whatever. >> Yeah. We're going to send you a check. >> Yeah. Unreal. >> Yeah. Wire or anything.

>> You know, America's 250th birthday is. coming up. That's going to be a big. cake. And I who's who's even going to blow out. the candles, I wonder. Probably maybe. Thomas Jefferson will come down from the. clouds and huff and puff a few out. Maybe a Betsy Ross or Frederick Douglas. I don't know. Somebody. Somebody from history.

Yeah, I but I think you're heading more. towards that kind of stuff with. experience. I mean, you're seeing people. get you're seeing a lot of things. Netflix house. You're seeing a lot of. things where they want to experience. >> Netflix house, you're saying? What does. that mean? >> Yeah, Netflix is doing a they they're. starting to build these Netflix houses. >> which are like movie theaters. >> Uh no, it's it's like they they would. have uh John Wick and they would have.

like like I went to one like there you. go. Like so it's like all your favorite. Netflix shows and you get to interact. with it in some way. >> Oh, but you can also watch the shows in. the place. >> No, no, I don't you're not watching. them. You're just like a Squid Game. They have like a Squid Game thing you. can go through. >> and then so so you go in and you just. spend the night or day and you just get. to interact with your favorite show, Stranger Things. You get to go through a. Stranger Things set or play a little. game or and that this kind of thing I.

believe I believe live experiences are. going to go that's where that's where. it's at. That's why I think standup. comics are in a in a terrific spot. because you're you can't AI a live. performance, >> right? >> And you I mean I'm you can do hologram. and that kind of stuff, but. >> yeah, we're the only place I mean what. else even outside of stand up comedy. Where else are people even outside of. like pastors at churches? I'm trying to. think.

>> or reverends or. >> preachers or or rabbis or but who like. outside of. >> those people you have musicians but they. you kind of know what you're getting. because it's like their songs. >> But I'm trying to think of where else is. there like well I guess. >> but then you don't know what's. influenced with what. So like even if. they're songs or if they're singing or. whatever it is. I mean I would think you. know some folk music like that. you. you're going to have to have stuff like. that where you're like straight up, you. know, there's nothing added into it and. there's nothing or it's going to be a.

very big spectacular uh spectacle show. You're going to have to go either super. big or you're going to have to be I. think like standup where it's just you, me, we're talking to a crowd and there's. nothing in the middle. >> Right. Well, yeah. That's what I'm. saying is like there's not a place where. you go to get a pure voice anymore. There's not that, you know what I'm. saying? like that's not refined or it's. not overly produced or. >> it's the most authentic. That's why I. mean I hope young entertainers I hope. stand up comics that are getting into it.

get into it and they get in there and. create an act and because you're going. to be uh the only place you know. essentially where you could maybe be. actually hearing a real person. The. preacher is a good example too. Like. it's where you're gonna, you know, have. straight on like I just want to I want. to see the person, >> you know, because there's so much stuff. people don't trust. So you're like, I. just want to see the person. I want to. see the person talking. >> I want to want the truth. I want I want.

>> humanity like that I could touch that. person. >> 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, some 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. >> Yeah. Who you are like Yeah. I mean, I. think unless you're like a oneliner guy. or something, >> right? Then that's that's hard to really. know. >> It's But yeah, but who Yeah. Who you are. is going to be kind of, you know, >> somewhat in there. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Cuz Yeah. It's hard to get like a.

true like, okay, what does this person. think? And are they just speaking. directly to me without a lot of. influence? It's like pastors, comedians. I'm not putting us in some special. space or anything. I'm just saying, oh, here you go. >> Teachers or professors, but I mean e. like look, it's. >> But teachers, some of that stuff is kind. of like um they have to follow a. curriculum. Um Oh, dude, when somebody's. tickling you, that's when you have to. tell the truth. >> Think about that. >> A tickler. If No, not the tickler is a. creep or whatever. Yeah, but the person.

if you're being tickled, try You ever. try to lie to somebody while they're. tickling you? >> It's impossible. >> It's impossible. >> Impossible. >> Yeah, maybe I'll be up there. >> It's impossible. That's why when I see. all this water boarding and torture or. whatever and all this horrible stuff. they're doing to people sometimes, I'm. like, dude, >> tickle put. >> Yeah. Get in there. >> Unleash them, too. >> Get under their arm. I don't know. >> Unleash them craw dads on somebody and. you'll get it. Grab your grab your thigh. right there. >> Oh. Oh, dude. Bro, where were you? This.

is RJFK. Where were you? People, you. always knew you could get tickled like. this, right? You knew that, right? And. even if there's a chubby kid and you. grab that little donut around his. midsection, just shake the freaking. truth out of his little thick ass or. whatever. Sorry. And we'll edit that. But when somebody did that to you, how. shocked were I didn't know that. >> when somebody did that? >> Yeah. I remember like uh I used to do it. to my daughter, too. like you'd grab. their leg there and then just be like, "Well, don't smile. Don't smile. Don't let you know." And.

then Yeah. Yeah. That's right. Tickling. Maybe it's going to be a big u It'll. come back, you know. But you need. ticklers. >> So then you get Where are you going to. do that in a safe? >> We'll probably get governmentisssued. ticklers and those people are going to. be Yeah. It's We've already. >> They're not going to try. It's. [laughter] going to be. >> Yeah. They're not going to be try. you're gonna have to be digging into. their fingers more like because you're. like, "Dude, you're not even trying.". Like you go, "Here, give me your hand.". And then you have to do it and then. you're like, "Yeah.".

>> Yeah. You're going to be leaning more. towards it, >> dude. That's like, "Oh, bro, >> that's so funny, bro. You're so funny, dude." That's like, dude, that's like. those people sometimes at work where. like I'm the city like a city. I'm like. a um liaison to the city and they segue. around the town sometimes. But dude, sometimes those people like one time we. were trying to get her information and. the lady was running from us. She like. couldn't get her thing to stop or. whatever. So she would pass by, but you. had to ask her really fast because she. was going. >> And then another time the guy's his got.

stuck or whatever like in a right-hand. pattern or whatever. He kept he he. called it right-hand pattern. He's like. it's in a right-hand pattern and he's. just sitting there just glitching like. in a circle. >> like just going in circles. >> Yes. And we're trying to like you know. we're just trying to ask. >> where's the monument? >> Yeah. Yeah, dude. It's just like, dude, we're talking about Paul Rivere and he. just kept dodging us. >> Yeah. Where's Daniel Boone's house? And. it's just And he's. >> Yeah, dude. We're like, look, dude, we. we heard Harriet Tubman ate ice cream. around here. Can you just.

>> just tell me? >> Yes. >> Heard Davy Crockett. >> Yeah, we heard Davy Crockett and Betty. Crock are actually hooked up around here. one time. >> They were around the same time. >> Were they? >> I don't know. >> They had to have met up. >> They had to have met up. I bet they. would at least known about each other. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. Davy Crockett was talked about a. lot growing up. >> He was. >> way more than it is now. It was a big. deal when I grew up. >> Yeah. Now it's like Travis Scott or. whatever. >> Yeah, it is. And and Davy Crockett is a.

good name. I thought Davy Crockett out. Here's what I would feel. And I'm going. off nothing, but Davy Crockett was when. I was growing up was the guy. >> And I think Daniel Boone came in and. started a little overshadowing Dave. >> I remember Davy Crockett because he had. the paraphernalia. He had the hat. And I. think he I I don't know if he had a. pistol or if he had a. >> I Yeah, I feel like he had a gun like a. one of those old school guns.

>> like a six shooter or something. >> Yeah. No, no, like a rifle, but like. >> Yes, that's it. Bring him up. Let's get. a gander at him because Yeah. Who even. knows? Davy Crockett and Betty Crocker. are unrelated except for the shared last. name which isn't even the same last. name. >> Yeah. >> You want to take us through Davy. Crockett there, Nate? >> Yeah. D David Crockett was a real 19th. century American frontiersman and. politician. Well, Betty Crocker was. created in 1921 and is not a real. person. >> So, that's tough. But they were around. Uh, >> so she was a catfish basically, which.

she probably. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's maybe the. original catfish. Betty Crocker. >> Yeah. >> Um. >> he kept going, "What's up with this. Betty? Where's this Betty Crocker at?". They go, "She just left.". >> Yeah, dude. >> Yeah. Oh, she was just here. Um, can you. get me information just about Davy. Crockett, please? >> Did him and Daniel Boone know each. other? >> Crockett grew up in East Tennessee where. he gained a reputation for hunting and. storytelling. So, he was he was kind of. like a comedian, I guess. He was made a. colonel in the militia of Lawrence. County. He he he opposed many of the.

policies of President Andrew Jackson, where I'm from, Old Hickory, which is. named after Andrew Jackson. >> So, he was elected uh to Congress. I. didn't even know he was a congressman. In 1836, he took part in the Texas. Revolution and died at the Battle of the. Alamo. That's why he was popular, too, because the Alamo. >> Yeah. Yes. The Alamo. Yeah. >> Uh Crockett became famous during his. lifetime for larger than-l life exploits. popularized by stage plays and almanacs. After his death, he continued to be. credited with acts of mythical.

proportion. Um, and then what about uh let's go. Daniel Boone. When did he li when did he. slide in there and steal his shine? Daniel Boone born in 1734. while Davy Croc was born in 1786, 52. years apart. >> So Boon was already an aging frontier. legend. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> So probably our grandparents or. great-grandparents probably heard more. about Boone. >> They did. And then we heard about. Crockett. Yep. >> And then maybe the truth has come out. that it's like, look, we need to go.

pretty heavy on Boone cuz he was the. originator. >> Yeah. Once that big big business starts. push pushing Boon. Um. >> I like when they're like it's like he. was born around November 2nd. Like. you're they go weren't keeping stuff. back then, dude. >> They go in the general area. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Like. >> and then if he was like I was born in. January and you're like well that's. around. >> that counts. Yeah, >> that counts. >> Yeah, dude. He showed up in the. springtime. Um, he grew up in a Quaker.

farming family. He became famous for his. woodcrafts, hunting, and long range. exploration deep into what was in the. western frontier of British America. Huh. Pretty cool, man. >> Everybody was kind of an explorer. >> Yes. >> You know, cuz it was. I mean, I know that like I'm saying. those guys did great, but I bet there. was a lot of guys that were like, "Yeah, nothing was built. Every step I took was a brand new step. >> Oh yeah. You were just Yeah. You were.

just like a Mellin. Anybody Dude, if you. got a pair of running shoes, you were a. mellin. >> Oh yeah. >> You were Christopher Columbus. Imagine. when those. >> You had hocas [clears throat] back then. >> I mean, come on. >> Dude, you would be above Daniel Boone. >> You were sponsored by the Spanish at. that point. [laughter] You know what I'm. saying? Like. >> he came up that way, dude. That's the. way he came up. And they were like, "We. didn't see that coming." Yeah. >> This guy came through. Yeah, >> dude. It is kind of crazy and because. there was also a time where there were. more woods, right? Anytime there was. woods, you were an explorer. Anytime.

>> Yeah, >> that has a lot to do with exploration. because there was more woods that like. less timber had been cut down. So, I. think you had that and then Yeah, just. not knowing where everything was being. an explorer. Gosh, you think you you you. think you could have been an explorer? >> I I mean, I don't think you have a. choice. I think you're just it. But it's. Yeah, I think I could. I like exploring. I I would like to go find some, you. know, trying to really see like what's. the path, the best way to go. That's. what's hard is there's not much left. exploring. You know, you see like those. untouched tribes they talked about and.

you're like, I don't even know if those. some of that's real or not. It. >> looks fake. A lot of that's fake. >> Yeah. Yeah. And so there's I know in. Alaska because they talk about Bigfoot. and like in Alaska there's like so much. land and stuff like and with woods and. like you go up to Washington it's like. got the most trees. >> Yeah. People don't even Yeah. >> It's you can't there's so much. >> people hide and go see for two years. Yeah. >> Oh yeah. You couldn't I mean there's. if Bigfoot's real it's like it would be.

easy for Bigfoot to hide. >> up there. up there. >> That's a good point. Whereas Yeah, like. in other places like Modesto, it would. be tougher or um you know up in uh like. North Atlanta or something like that. Those are. >> would be Yeah, Bigfoot's going to get. seen. >> Oh, dude. In Atlanta, Bigfoot's going to. be at the club probably. >> Yeah, >> at the club for sure, dude. >> Yeah, >> people would have him feature on their. albums in Atlanta. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. Just Yeah. Come up and.

talk. >> Yeah. Hey, you don't think Ludicrous is. going to have Bigfoot pull up? >> Yeah. Why would you not? You have access. to him. [laughter]. >> Yeah. >> And. >> you probably don't got to pay him. He. probably food. >> I don't even know. >> For sure. Clean salmon. I'm thinking. also. [snorts] Yeah. >> Clean salmon. You just give him that. drops. >> But they're going to push that narrative. on him that he's like a person of color, too. >> Yeah, that would be. >> like he has to show up and he has to do. B. He has to like uh.

>> collab on a track. >> or show up. >> He has to go to stuff. He Yeah. He's. like, you know, >> we need you, bro. We need you at. Diamonds or whatever that place is. Nipple Diamonds or whatever that. whatever that exotic club there is, I. think. >> Oh, yeah. One of them got in everybody. got in trouble at. >> all of them did. Yeah. A lot of them. Yeah. Well, they found glyphosate there. on some of the women. >> I'm always crazy how open they are about. talking about that. the NBA, >> they there's they talk about going to. those clubs and there's no like, you.

know, you feel like there's someone. that's like, "Hey, let's not. >> let's keep it a little quiet,". >> right? Like a lot everything else like, "Hey, don't talk about that. Don't talk. about politics. Don't talk about how you. feel about this. Don't be like Kyrie. Irving with his, you know, don't express. yourself.". >> But if it comes to clubbery, like strip. club, >> yum. go all out. >> or throwing tens of thousands of dollars. on the back of somebody. >> Yeah. Then please then say it. Say it.

all. >> Then Yeah. Then share it. >> Magic City. That's the one they just got. in trouble about. >> Oh, did it? >> Yeah. Cuz the Hawks used Magic City. Night, which is the where they would go. >> And this is similar, I guess. Magic City. Night. Is it Is that similar to the Nate. raid at all or No, this two different. things. >> It's It's along the lines. [laughter]. It's what we were going for originally. >> No, but I love that you're doing this, dude. I love that you were able to make. that happen. How did you make that.

happen with the uh with the theaters? And then also secondarily, do you know. how many theaters you guys are opening. up in? >> Uh 3 I think 3,000. >> Oh wow. Really? >> Yeah, I think so. I'm not positive. I. think it's like that. I think it's. 3,000. But it's. you, you know, it's dude, it's like. meeting uh, you know, we've met like uh, you know, AMC that head of Regal, Cinemark, Cinniplex, like you just kind. of go to them and like they're all.

they're in the same business. I always. say this, I'm in the ticket selling. business. You're in the ticket selling. business. We sell tickets. So it's it's. you kind of take stuff out of like you. know. the hands of Hollywood in a sense once. you're in this ticket selling business. like that's all that's my relationship. with the audience is I you buy a ticket. and you come see me and so when you can. kind of do that I think you can go to. these theaters to go we're all on the. same page. They want people coming to. theaters. We want I want them to come.

see the movie I made. And so then you're. I think you just there's ways around it. And now we're in such a new world where. you're, you know, you start meeting. people and like everybody just wants. their businesses to grow. And I think. everybody took it for granted for such a. long time cuz it was that's just what it. was, you know, like growing up like. growing up was, you know, growing up you. just went to the movie theaters. You. couldn't do there was no streaming. there was a, you know, then once all the. streaming stuff started happening, it's.

like then they kind of went hard into. that and then I think left theaters and. now you're getting back to where these. younger generations that are growing up. with phones and they're seeing their. parents on the phone all the time and. they just want to go somewhere and they. want to go do stuff. >> and so then it's like I there's a chance. I think it will flip back. >> to. >> you know I mean you know when you feel. like I think every time I drop my phone. I think I hope it breaks. >> Oh, yeah. >> I always just someone's like, "Oh." I'm.

like, "It'd be wonderful it broke.". >> Mhm. >> I hope someone steals it. I'll even go. to a city that has a lot of crime and. drop my phone there a couple 10 times. >> See what happens. >> See what happens. >> And I'll even make that sound like. >> and be let down. >> Yes. And be like, "Oh, >> that it's You go, I thought this city. had crime and I was wrong." [laughter]. [clears throat]. >> I'll even do that when I drop it. >> Point at it. Yeah. >> But yeah, dude. >> Leave it way out of your pocket. back. pocket. >> Oh, when my phone goes off, dude. Sometimes I used to wet the bed and I.

would be like an adult, which was the. saddest part of it. But after that, uh. there was times where I was like. supposed to like get up in the morning. or whatever and then I would urinate all. over my phone. It would short out and it. would be like the best morning. >> Yeah. Especially after something so sad. happening as an adult. >> Oh, but then you're you get past that. But then no, then your phone doesn't. work and 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, you have. an Apple Watch. Uh watch like you have. an Apple Watch, you can have Apple Watch. with cellular. >> Yes. >> So you can leave your phone and then. like, you know, it's like one of those. like all right, if someone needed to. call me, it's like you can throw AirPods. in or you can be like, "Hey, I got to. call you back." Or text message or. whatever. Um that's a big thing you do. with kids at first. Sometimes you give. them an Apple Watch before a phone. because they can't do too much with an. Apple Watch, but you could you could get. a hold of them. >> My kid Yeah. My kid will be lucky to get. an Apple.

>> and uh and watch what happens if you. don't behave. That's that's how I'm. starting. >> Yeah, >> that's a start. Is a good diet and then. like light threat. >> Yeah. >> And then we'll go from there to see what. else they get if they're well behaved. >> But um Oliver Anthony just did. something. Can you bring that up? What. he was trying to do with ticketing? And. congrats, man, on your on your movie. Yeah. Ours just we we only got 500. theaters. Um I wish we'd have gone. bigger and I wish we'd had gone to more. rural theaters. I think we tried to do.

like too much just city stuff. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Um but anyway, >> but I mean like movies are go back and. forth too. Like streaming is I I I kind. of think of streaming sometimes as like. it's like block B blockbuster in a. sense. Mhm. >> It's like where your stuff can go live. and people can go watch that forever. >> I mean, Bert's movie uh you know, it's. like he went to theaters and then he. went crazy and did uh it destroyed it on. Netflix. >> Well, I think and and also, man, sorry. to I kind of made that about me there.

and our movie for a second. I want to. apologize about that. >> No, I'll talk about your movie. >> No, congratulations. So, it's going to. be opening May 29th. That's this Friday. Yeah. >> And it's in theaters. It's going to be. in 3,000 theaters, which means almost. everywhere. >> Yeah. >> That's a lot of places. Yeah. That's. wonderful, dude. It's exciting. Um, also. just there's a chance it's four theaters. if for some reason it's not 3,000. I. think it's 3,000, but it would be funny. >> It's 4,000. You mean? >> No. No. I think 4,000 is the max. I. think we're at three. I'm just saying if.

we go back and, you know, it's in a 100. theaters and they go, it could be that, too. Got it. >> What was Oliver saying? Yeah, I just saw. this the other day. Can you just play a. little bit of it? >> I could really use your suggestions and. your advice. I am looking for venues to. play. Um, you know, I've started booking. my own shows again. So, in April, we did. those Virginiaas, um, where I just. rented the room outright and I sold my. own tickets through this West Virginia. ticket company. And it was sweet. It was. like it bypassed the whole system. Um, and it actually worked and it went over.

pretty well. And so, I just announced. again for the June 1st through the 3rd, I'm doing Charlotte, Greenville, and. Raleigh the exact same way. But I'm just. going on Google and trying to find. venues. And so I have no idea what's. good and bad, but if you have places. that you like going to see music that. can hold at least I don't know. >> So he was trying I guess some ticketing. I guess ticketing maybe through the. exact venues I think cuz that's a big. thing for people and Oliver has always. been like a pioneer of like trying to. figure out. >> you know how do you get take away from.

you know some of these big groups like. Ticket Master and Live Nation just that. have these conglomerates you know it's a. lot. I mean the ticket master fees are. crazy. >> They're crazy. Here's the like, you. know, >> they're crazy. >> No, no, they're they're insane. I I I I. agree. But here's the thing with like. how much work that was for him to do. four or five shows, >> right? >> That's a lot 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, you're going to need to. build a system, right?

>> And so, you're going to have to have. people that are going to be able to help. you to go do that. You can go do that, but you have to build a system or. otherwise you're not going to be able to. uh tour like the way you want to. If if. everybody 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 of. work. Remember Louis Lou did do it. He. did it he did it for a while. I think. >> he did it a long time ago. You buy. tickets through his website and stuff. like that. There's many ways that you. can go try to do it. And I look a hard.

part of this too is that some people are. like I'll just just let me go to ticket. master dude. I don't you know like it's. or StubHub or whatever they're going 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 like this. >> You're right. I never thought about that. part of it. Some people are like dude I. don't what do you want? Like if I really. look at it all, even though it's like. the I believe in the thing that you're.

doing, it's uh it's just so much work. and you got to get the word out and. people have to find you and see you and. all this. I don't know what he where he. wants to be career-wise. Like if like, you know, does he want to be the most. biggest star in the world? I don't feel. like he I feel like he loves where he's. at and like. >> I think he just loves having that. relationship with the people. >> with the audience with the people which. is which is uh amazing. Uh and so it's. like you you should do that but then. there's a mix you're the thing you you. know it's you remember doing like comedy.

clubs when you you go try to do a rock. like for me I would go try to do a rock. venue. >> uh instead of a comedy club and then you. go to the odd the people that would come. out to me they don't know where this. rock venue is at. >> so they've never heard of this rock. venue they just know where the comedy. club is. Right. Now you're delivering. Yeah. Under Yeah. Under. >> 100 people show up under a bench. somewhere. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Yeah. >> Oh, you just got word it's 3,300. theaters there. Um Yeah, I think so. But. yeah, >> they charge all this stuff. Ticket.

Master does all this stuff. They I It's. It's one of those. >> It's a mafia. >> Yeah. But you're You know, but the. audience, you know, Yes. It's frustrating. We're. all frustrated by it, but then it's also. like people are busy. You got to How. many people can you get that are going. to go follow you everywhere? >> I agree. When you when you make it like. Yeah. >> You know, and sometimes when you give. stuff, >> you ever noticed like I waited tables. and so I used to always think.

>> uh Applebees right over here, Thompson. Really? Yeah. That's where me and my. wife met. >> I pray for all those people over there. You met your wife at Applebee's? >> Applebee's Thompson Lane. Uh, so, oh my. god, >> I don't know where Tom Thompson is, but. you know. >> Do you remember what day or what day it. was or was it a holiday? >> The day Daniel Boone was born around. about round about November 2nd. Yeah. >> In the spring. >> In the spring. [laughter]. >> Uh, yeah. So, >> and you met her there and how did you. meet her? Was she working there?

>> She was a waitress and I was the host. >> You were a male host. >> A male host. >> And you've been a host anyway. Host your. whole life. >> Yeah, I've been a host my whole life. And so, but I was Yeah. Mel host, you know, >> shout out to all the I was easy, you. know, when he came in, you know, you. just I was an easy like, hey, you know, wasn't. aggressive. >> No. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Like, hey. >> Yeah. Hey, >> what do you want to do? >> Where do you want to go? >> You could talk me into where you want to.

sit. >> easily. Huh? >> Easily. Easily. >> Can we sit over by the window? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. That. section's wide open. Can I go over. there? Of course, we can walk over. there. >> Yeah, dude. Sometimes you go in this one. of the sections that was closed off and. they had all the baby seats parked over. there. >> Mhm. >> That always made me nervous. I thought. something had happened to all the. babies. >> Yeah, that's where they kept like, "What's wrong with this restaurant that. you go? We've had some baby problems. here.". >> Yeah, that's what I thought.

>> Yeah. And that's where they were they. upside down. >> Yeah. >> Sometimes. >> Sometimes they were. Oh. >> Oh, man. >> When I see that, I still think of that. And sometimes they'd be stacked on each. other or something, >> you know? >> Yeah. The old wood baby seats. They have. that anymore, >> dude. Sometimes they would have a baby's. head chiseled his name in the wood. >> Oh, yeah. >> You know, >> they came a lot. >> Yeah. Like Ricky Jr. or something was. written in there. You're like, "Dang, >> how about you come here?". >> Like when they see his family walk in,

they already got it out. >> Yeah. Sometimes you it'd be like an. unhappy baby. They would say like Brooks. was here just chiseled in there. >> Yeah. >> Like. >> it's a lot. >> Waiting tables back to my theory. >> is uh you know you you would always. think like to get a bigger tip I would. like try to hook you'd be like I didn't. charge you for the Coke. >> Mhm. [clears throat]. >> I didn't you know there's no charge for. And you thought I thought like me. hooking you up would mean a higher tip. [clears throat]. >> and it never did. But if I charged you.

full price for everything you would tip. me more. Got it. So, it's like that's. kind of how stuff works where in a weird. we all because in my head you're like, "Yo, dude, I'm like, you know, I' I've. taken off I've done what I can of like I. can just get you a Coke and put water. down." Yeah. You know, that's three $4 I. just saved you and then I'll get you. what you I don't know like some random. You're doing these little things that. and you think they're going to be like.

>> I'll get you one extra little. >> But they tip off the price. They tip off. the price and they don't think and. sometimes people's the math in their. head like well I don't even know how. much stuff that was worth and what do I. do here? Yeah. >> And because you they just want to eat. and like just charge me. >> they want a bread stick and they want to. meet a woman. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> You know. >> Yeah. Like Olive Garden where they give. you free bread, you know. It's like you. tip extra. No. Like I don't think you. tip you don't you don't wrap that in. That's a big thing. They give you free. Don't they give you free bread sticks. and maybe salad or something? >> I think there's soup even. Maybe.

unlimited pasta, something like it's. like aggressive. >> If you just run in there, they'll give. you a half a handful of soup. >> Yeah. Yeah. For nothing. >> Yeah. For nothing, dude. Dude, the. assistant manager will let you freaking. eat it right out of her hand if she's. nice. If she's feeling good that day. >> Yeah. You get complimentary bread. sticks. >> Yeah. >> But I wonder if they make you feel the. guilty asking for them. >> Yeah. Like, oh, well, let me see. Let me. see if we have them. >> You ever go to O Charlie's back in the. day when they Do you know. >> peanut shells on the floor? >> No. No. O Charlie's was a different. restaurant, but they had these great.

rolls and I mean the rolls were Oh, Charlie's has great They have rolls now. They did something to them. They're not. as good as they were. I think they had. sugar in them before. And so it was. almost like a crispy cream donut, but it. was unbelievable. And they'd get free. rolls and you would set them down on the. table and then everybody would be like, "Go ahead and bring another round." And. you and they you'd have five of them. Yeah, dude. It would they were the best. rolls in the world. and and everybody. would go in and you're just you're. really there for the roles. >> and you know and then you would feel.

embarrassed to be like, you know, they. bring you a basket of five and you're. like before you turn around these are. gone, >> so go ahead and. >> send another one out. And I think they. had a pace they had a pacing problem. They had to be like, "Yeah, we can't. drag it out.". >> Yeah. People were coming and looking in. the kitchen and stuff. >> Yeah. At the Yeah, cuz they I mean they. were the best. People were texting the. plug or whatever. Here's a solid copycat. for Charlie's original rolls. Uh, warm. whole milk, a six a cup of sugar, uh,

dry yeast, a beaten egg, butter, purpose. flour, salt. Thank you for. >> Oh, yeah. Nice. >> Huh. Yeah. Maybe had a little bit of. sugar in it. Oh, dude. I'm. >> Maybe they didn't have Maybe I mean, I. don't know. It might have been all that. stuff. >> It could have been the yeast. I don't. know. Some yeast has a lot of It can be. good. >> If you do this recipe, throw a little. sugar in it, too. >> Yeah. And if you're making anything for. your family tonight, >> throw a little sugar. Don't throw a. little sugar. >> I do. Ain't going to. >> do pasta sauce. I don't. >> No. Oh, that says six cup of sugar. It. doesn't Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sorry. I didn't. hear that. >> No, no worries, man.

>> Yeah. See, see what I mean, dude? I. think they got rid of that sugar and. then they got into. >> Yeah, >> probably yeast heavy. >> They might have went yeast heavy. >> They might have been wet yeast. >> Oh, that's the worst when it's real. yeast you just put in your mouth and it. like just grows in your mouth or. whatever. Like pop rocks or whatever. Like pop rock bread or whatever. Today's episode is brought to you by. Manscaped, the men's grooming brand. trusted by over 13 million men. God, that's a lot of fellas.

Is that right? >> Yeah. >> Who's a friend of mine? Great guy. >> Yeah. Yeah. Great guy. >> I mean, let's just say he's great. >> He's great. >> He's great. Um, did you also direct it? >> No. No. Erica Pel. >> He did Eric Capel. Ericel. >> He did uh the um Weird Al Yanovich movie. >> and so it's a seen that Yeah. It's a. great movie. And then so he did that and.

then we had Jeremy Latchin was a. producer and uh Sony Tristar. It was a. full-on like big you know we did it in. Atlanta Trilith which is right outside. of uh. >> Trill. >> Trilith. Trilla. >> So the owner of Chick-fil-A, Dan Kathy, he own that's where they used to shoot. all the Marvel movies. And so they have. all these studios and then across uh. neighborhood is housing. So like a lot. of people that shoot there, you can go. rent houses and it's like a Truman Show. type place where you just walk around.

>> Would you see other actors and stuff. during the day when you're like that. were working on different projects? >> Yeah. Uh. >> like whom did you see? Do you mind? Cuz. this is. >> You saw Jal White. >> Jal White? >> No way. >> Yeah. Yeah. And so he was he was. shooting a game show. You would see a. lot of uh. >> And what was he doing? Hooping or. playing dice or whatever? What was he. doing when you saw him? >> No, he was at he was just at a. restaurant. >> There's a restaurant there. >> Oh, there's a bunch of restaurants. 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 type? >> No, no, it's it's like a I mean, some.

people have houses there, then you rent. them out to people that come. I mean, because when you were, you know, when. they're shooting these Marvel stuff, I. mean, you'd have to have like, you know, Chris Pratt or Robert, you know, I mean, you can go live not in that town, too. But you, but like it it's right across. from the studio, so you can just run. over there, but they have like ice cream. shop. >> Yeah. I just can't imagine you're like. you go out in the morning or whatever. and freaking, you know, Robert Downey. Jr. Al Puccini is like checking his mail. or whatever, you know, [laughter].

it's like. >> Yeah. That would be the weird part for. me, dude. >> Yeah. >> Trilith Town for Marvel Studios in. Georgia could be the future of cities. >> And do you Does it come with a pet or. anything? Like what's the whole I think. you know you can get whatever you want. there. But it's Yeah. There. So they did. all they did a bunch of Marvel movies. I. I bet this is an old article cuz uh it's. not I think stuff's coming back, but now. Marvel's all in London. >> Okay, got it. But it was uh.

>> yeah, this is an old 2022, >> but it was Yeah, it's like so they built. those towns for like a lot of the. workers, like the idea of the the union. guys to be able to go live there and. like be able to come sit there and work. and. >> That's wild. >> Uh but they did Yeah. Everything. They. did everything there. >> You're too tired when you get home to. think about grocery shopping, but that's. okay. The delivery robot has just rolled. up in front of your house with your. weekly order. And this is the Trillith. Town. Um, the four-year-old residential. portion of Trilith was modeled after the.

building styles and village feel of. European cities. Um, it's a new town for about 5,000 people. created using the principles of new. urbanism, a concept that means. neighborhoods should be walkable and. compact with varied build with varied. building types and less emphasis on. cars. Oh, that's pretty cool. And each. and they would have different streets. would be like uh I think it says. European and British style designs while. other spots are more modern facads.

What is it? >> Faucets. No, facads. >> Facad. >> Facades. And they so you you could go. shoot actually on that street. So if you. had like uh shoot a British style movie. >> Oh, you could shoot on the neighborhood. >> Yeah. you could do in the neighborhood. and be like, "Well, these houses look. like they're British and these look more. modern and stuff like that.". >> Wow. >> And you could buy you can rent it out. Uh and this is on Perplexity uh AI. Thank you, Perplexity. Um, according to.

the article, the town's amenities are. geared toward a walkable, self-contained. lifestyle, retail, restaurants, a. boutique hotel, co-working space, performing arts center, wellness center, and an innovative micro school. It also. has lots of green space, communal parks, and geothermal smart home design. features. Wow. Yeah, it's it's a great. idea in the fact that if you were trying. to. which they did. So, you're trying you're.

creating this studio and you want the. thing is is like it was uh. you know the taxes is like now. everything went to London like they're. all in London now because those they're. making those movies and they're so. expensive. So, it's like they they they. shoot a lot of stuff over there now. They want to shoot everything there. There there was that uh Rob Low talked. about that thing where it's like for his. game show it was easier to shoot in. Ireland and fly the American audience to. out to Ireland than it was to cheaper.

than film in LA. >> That's crazy man. which I think it's now. that LA's like doing something like but. it got to that point where he was like. yeah will you not which this movie was. like in Atlanta and I think we would. have shot it in. Canada or something but I was. fortunately able to be like well I just. wouldn't make a movie I like I'm not. >> just too far away. you. Well, it's like, yeah, man, I'm touring and when you're. able to the the the great thing for any. young comedian, if you can you just keep.

doing what you're doing, you end up. getting to hold a lot more kind of power. like that. You know what I mean? Because. you're like, I'm touring. I have a. thing. I can do this. So, when you go do. make something, it's not that you don't. you have like full control, blah blah, whatever. But it's like you can you can. say no. Yes. >> Get the power of no. So you can be like. it's like hey we got to go make this. move in Canada because it's cheaper. Then it's like then I'll just uh either. try to make it on my own or I'll figure. it out or find something else or I'm. touring so you're like whatever.

>> Yeah. >> And then it's like you know there comes. a balance where you can start I got a. game show. We shoot it here in. Nashville. They wouldn't shoot it in. Nashville. >> Did you try to shoot the film in. Nashville? I tried, but this one went so. it was moving so quick that it's like we. could have probably, but then it was we. needed to get it made and they have. everything. >> more infrastructure there for making. stuff. >> The thing about Tennessee is we don't. have as the you need the uh like an A.

and B team of workers. So like if you're. shooting movies, you need like the a the. union guys, the guys that make up the. ones that make the movies. Like you need. them working on one then another team is. working on or the second movie and. you're kind of able to flip-flop. >> movie or different scenes. >> like a different movie or whatever. No, I mean a different a whole different. movie. You got to have multiple. production crews. >> Oh. >> When at that when that their height of. that trilith I mean I think they were. using 12 to 20 studios filming a lot of.

things. >> Oh, I see what you're saying. So they. would have like as long as you're. >> you have a lot of crew in town, >> right? You book not have that. We don't. have We have crew here. We don't have. enough to handle. >> uh high demand of movies. >> Got it. >> Like, you know, you got like they're. doing that rescue 911 or Nashville 911. or whatever it is uh here. Well, that's. the that's a great crew that's there, but if you have them doing that, you. don't have a crew that's just sitting.

that you could also go shoot Batman. here. So, you need. >> We just don't have the infrastructure. We don't have the. >> I think we can, right? I think we can. get it. I think it takes time and you. got to show that there's. >> Yeah, you got to take. >> You got to show that you're really. committed and doing it. Yeah. Uh. >> things have to happen. There needs to be. tax incentives, all that type of stuff. >> But Atlanta has a ton of that. Even for. the example that neighborhood, it's like. they have a neighborhood built where. people can stay across the street. >> that from the studios where they can all. be right there. You know,

>> Georgia was a place that jumped on that. really, really fast. But, you know, then. you see it now. a lot of stuff, you. know, even left still wasn't low enough. So then they still go out. >> Oh, yeah. >> farther. But I mean, that's where you're. in a movie business. that's really reliant on these movies. that cost $500 million to make or what? And you're like, >> well then you got to stop making movies. >> Well, how much did you guys cost to. make? You said. >> I think ours was like 38 million.

>> Are you serious? >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's a it's a big. studio. >> Wow. I didn't realize all that, man. Congratul I mean that's that's. fascinating. That's wild, dude. >> Yeah, I think it was something like. that. >> Um, and Mandy Moore is also in it. She. plays your wife. You have a couple of. children in it. >> Yep. Yeah, the kids are great. Uh, uh, Charlotte, Birdie, and Stella is the. oldest. That's Birdie. 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 is, >> you know, I want you to go take your. whole family out to go to it. >> Uh, take your mom, take your grandma, like, you know, it's I I I. >> I just love that. I love that when. people can go out and they can all go. together. I want to go to stuff with my. family, like, >> you know, you want to go and then so you. go look at a lot of movies now. It's. it's like a lot of horror movies. >> It's horror. it's a big or it's like a.

Marvel movie or something or it's or. it's animated like there's no liveaction. movies like this I think that are being. made that are PG and it's kind of the. direction that I wanted to head in. >> which been a lot of your direction it. feels like why is that like overall like. I get it 100% right like I get it and. it's been so successful for you right. like um I think you're like the top. touring comedian last year maybe I think. and I I don't mean to get that wrong you. know but um you know you attract like. you know You can attract all ages,

right? Your comedy's kind of for. everyone. It's for kids, too, even. >> I don't write it for kids, but kids can. come. The point is like your kids don't. have to leave the room. >> Got it. >> Like, so 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 the show, right? And you see them. But I watch. them and I can tell like they're not, you know, they don't like a kid's not. going to like they don't get everything. They don't get. >> Yeah. They like some of the dumb silly. jokes, but if I'm talking about like. marriage and stuff like that, they're. not going to be laughing at that or my.

But I know when they get in the car, they're going to just talk about the. whole night, >> right? >> And we I hear that from parents like. they're just like, "Oh, they just kept.". But, you know, a kid doesn't know how to. It just kind of sits there and stares, but then afterwards they just are. excited. They haven't been to an adult. event and so this feels very adult like. you're watching a. >> cuz it is you're being you're making it. for you know my stuff is not I'm not. trying to make it like a. >> yeah like it's just kid-friendly like a.

kid can come [clears throat] in you're. just not cursing. You can get away with. a lot more when you don't curse. >> Cursing is just kind like that's just. what I found. But it's just. >> what do you mean by that? You can get. you can get away with a lot 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 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 that's what when people. hear that either they check out or.

they're like he's dirty or he's this or. he's that. And so if you're control of. it just be in control of it. It's maybe. you It's not saying you don't have to. curse, but it's where is it and when is. it? >> Yeah. >> Where it's a lot of I think the younger. comedians now it's you know they they. start on the internet then they go to. the Netflix like no one's like there's. no boundaries where like we came we did. live at Gotham I think the same year. right around and when you did that on.

comedy central you had you couldn't say. whatever you wanted to say. That's not a. bad thing. That means you have to be. creative in a scenario. Not saying don't. you can come on anything else and go say. whatever you want to go say, right? But. it's not a bad thing to have. >> Oh, I like some TV boundaries around. you. Yeah. >> Cuz then it makes you come at stuff in. different angles. >> Oh yeah. I mean I f I almost fantasize. sometimes. It's not fantasize. It's. probably the weirdest word. But I I.

think about that of like, yeah, I would. like to get to a place where I don't. have to, you know, or not cuz I don't. have to curse. You. >> It's just where I don't where I don't. want to curse. I think I do it. I don't. even know why I do it. I think it's kind. of how I operate in a regular day, too. So, in the end, I think it's probably. just. >> I don't think of you as someone that. would be dirty. Like, >> I'm not vulgar. No. >> Right. like I'm not like sexually. explicit or like talking about something. that I think is gross, but I'll use some. profanity, you know, just where I'm from. and stuff like that, I think. But as a.

as an adult and I don't have a family or. anything yet, I don't have anybody. looking at me across the room saying, "Why are you saying that in front of the. kids, dude?" You know what I'm saying? Cuz I work for myself and I'm a shitty. employee. >> You know, I'm out back smoking and. catching myself. I'll go sneak around. the corner, smoke, and then run around. the corner and be like, "What are you. doing out here?" you know, the deep. fryer's freaking acting up, you know, so. but uh. >> no, do do whatever you want to go do. But by the way, no one think I don't. think anybody thinks of you as a dirty. comic. >> Yeah. Thanks. >> Like I don't think you know and curse do.

whatever you want. >> Yeah. >> Do whatever you want. >> But it is a challenge. I I agree. I I. love the fact that it's a challenge to. yourself. Um is there is there a day do. you ever like say well one day I'm going. to put out there's going to be like a. dark folder I'm going to put out of just. the other side of things. Have you are. you ever had like Have you ever wanted. to have like an only fans where you just. say like bad some bad words on it? >> Uh no. I I just don't think I uh I think. I'm just past the point of where I would.

I you know look I like whatever. >> Was it always like that? >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean we we grew up when I. grew up it was like cursing was you know. my parents were uh became Christian when. I was born and I have a joke about they. were the most Christian and so like you. know growing up here Southern Baptist. it's very strict rules like it's it's uh. you know I think church is church is. completely different now like a lot of. it's non-denomination and all that but. it's then it was like yeah you didn't uh.

no one no I mean cursing was looked at. and no in my family, my my parents did. not curse, so I wasn't around. >> Yeah, that's awesome. >> Like uh that. So I have a. >> not that I'm I'm not perfect, but my. strictness. >> in it in my act is just was like I was. just never going to do it. And then when. I started that way, it's like. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It would be weird to go. >> And it doesn't feel like I'm ostracizing. you for not doing it. Doesn't feel like. that, does it? >> No. No. I think some people like you do.

Oh, but it does it doesn't feel like I'm. ostracious. Like I'm I'm envious of it. I think it's awesome, you know? And I. think it just portray it just like Yeah. It makes it so it's it's ready for. everybody, right? Like this is something. that you can and a parent knows at some. point I can turn that on. This is the. thing that does get me sometimes if a. parents with their kids like I don't. know if I can turn the podcast on. because it's going to have profanity in. it or they might be talking about some. stuff that's going to be a bit obtuse. for kids. I think about that sometimes. with serious radio where it's like you.

you know you or you get into some stuff. about sports or you want to listen to. some sports stuff and then it's like. some of gets they're cursing and you're. like I'm just trying to like hear the. score of the game. UFC had like, you. know, I'm we're both giant UFC fans and. uh I the pay-per-view events I'm fine. with, but like sometimes even if you. have to listen to something about UFC, it can get like they can get cursing and. all this stuff and and like not to. sometimes you're like I just wouldn't. mind like if my daughter's in the car.

not really paying attention and I would. like. >> right. >> to just hear some UFC stuff. Can we have. a channel where it's like I just know. you're not gonna. >> That's very fair. >> Go nuts. >> Yeah. >> Like, you know what I mean? Like. >> Yeah. Because the only time she's gonna. look up too is if she hears a bad word, she look up and she's going to look at. you like, "Dad, what are you listening. to this?". >> And you're like, "I'm not." You're like, "I know. I'm just trying to listen to uh. like you just want it to be like local. radio.". >> You're like, "I'm just a gatey fan. What. do you know?

>> Give me a chance here." You know, >> I'm a Co. Look, Kobe Coington. It's hard. to It's hard to keep him quiet. He's the. just the way you could listen to I mean. I have nothing against Kobe. I don't. feel he says all the craziest things. >> Oh yeah. Well a lot of those guys they. have to be their own advert. When you. think about some of those guys it's. interesting because they just wanted to. fight but then they have to some of them. have to probably in feel a pressure to. become this other thing because they. have to be their own PR company in a. way. >> Yeah. Yeah. And look I don't feel bad. It's not the fighters. It's like just. you wish the commentators. You're right.

Like I mean they do a good job though on. UFC. Like I I don't like when Rogan and. all them like they don't curse. >> Oh, they're pretty clean on there. >> Yeah, I don't think they curse at all. Yeah. When they go interview him, but. that's another thing. That's the. fighter. They're in the moment. It's. going to be hard not to. >> uh let loose and some of that's part of. what it is. And but it's I I do think. UFC does a great job with like when it's. Daniel Cormier and Rogan and like they. do not curse. >> with John Anick. Th those three are the. greatest. >> the greatest. >> group that's ever done it. And they also.

have they have Bisping, Paul Felder, even when those guys aren't doing it. Porier's on there now. Chris Weidman, uh, Cormier. I mean, Yeah. But those. guys are all. >> has been great. >> Yeah. Yeah, dude. He's been great, dude. He's like, Yeah. I just love like I love. seeing those guys get to be not just. fighters and get to share their. personalities. Um, I got to ask you. about I feel like such a freaking. reporter now. Got to ask uh dude, so. tell me about Natland. >> It's real. >> Park. It's real. >> The theme park is real. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Yeah.

>> Where are we at with it? >> Like what's going on? >> We're we're about to getting to uh some. in investing. >> Okay. >> So, we're about to start that kind of. process. We uh have the land or we. basically think we we know where we want. the land to be. We have not we like we. haven't said anything where about the. land uh or where it's at or anything. yet, but we we've narrowed it down to. basically this one spot. And then so. it's but yeah, I mean we're we have the.

renderings. They're working on it every. day. Uh we have Storyland. Storyland is. a group that uh Storyland is a group. They did uh they've done stuff with. everything. Uh they I think they had. some stuff to do with Epic. It's a lot. of guys that worked with Disney for a. long time and they started their own. kind of company and they did all the. Disneys in Dubai. And. >> so Storyland is a company that helps. make these things come to fruition. like. they build them and everything. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Got it. >> And so they they they make it, they help.

you design, all that designing, all that. rendering, all that getting that of the. idea of what we're trying to do. >> And is this a real render? Have you seen. this before? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Okay. And what is on this render? Can. you zoom in on that photo for me some? >> Uh it's it's going to be So like it says. Nand the front. Like so that front area. right past the Neland is going to be. like a retro mall. So that's like that. would be open all year round and you can. go in there and you can have, you know, like we talked like a Netflix house that. we talked about earlier, you know, maybe. you could have something like that. I'm.

not saying this is what we we are having. in there, but you could have some stuff. like that, restaurant, stuff like that. that's open all year round. You have. three sections of the park, you have a. section to the left, uh, which. >> you have roller coasters. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know what's crazy, dude? I just went to uh I was in. Hershey, Pennsylvania. You went to the. um. >> Hershey Park. >> Kennywood? >> No, Hershey Park. Dollywood. >> No, I'm thinking of Kennywood. >> I think I know Kennywood, too. >> Kennywood's in Pittsburgh. >> Oh, no. We didn't go there. Went to. Hershey Park. >> How was that? >> It's It's awesome. And so, we rode some.

roller coasters, which were uh it was. kind of roller coaster shopping, which. was crazy. >> cuz you're like, >> well, you would just ride Well, now they. had a few that you. >> They rolled back the miles on this one. >> There you go. There you go. No thank. you. Uh, but it was weird to be riding a. roller coaster being like, >> "Yeah, that was" They go, "That one felt. great." And then you're like, you're you. know, you're kind of like, "Yeah, yeah, let's do that one.". >> Dude, that's wild. And who did you go.

with? Was that just a family trip or you. guys went. >> I was on the road. I was there. I did. shows there. And so we had one guy from. Storyland who came up and he kind of. just walked me through and said, uh, one. of for this one roller coaster we're. doing, the roller coaster we're about to. ride is very similar to the one that. we're looking at, the same people made. this roller coaster. So you're kind of. riding the roller coaster knowing that. that company is who would make that. roller coaster or this is another one. So you're really riding some stuff and. and getting a, you know, being like,

"All right, what's this one kind of feel. like? What's this one do? >> And and and how much is a coaster? Decent coaster. >> Uh I found out like uh there was one. there was one like uh. uh like a big one might be like $30. million like or I'm not like you know I. don't know if it's the biggest one but. like a a kind of newer very very good. coaster they have. We were guess someone.

is trying to guess there uh was about 30. they said $30 million and then there's. some other rides that were one was like. a new version of a tilt whirl kind of. but it it was like kind of moved around. >> You tried that out too? >> Yeah. Yeah, we we rode that just to see. what that was. And I think that was like. $850,000. >> Oh, that's one you can get that one. >> That one you get in your house. You. know, you could just get on layway. Yeah. Just have that.

>> lay lay lay away away. Yeah. >> Uh. >> dang. I bet Kid Rock could get that. thing. He freaking dude. But he probably. >> But it's like Yes. So you start going. through and. >> he'd ruin it. >> And this theme park I mean. >> he would ruin the the. >> Sorry, I just had to say that. >> He put it on the white. It's. >> so many clips of me just roasting him. even though we're friends. I freaking. love roasting him. Oh yeah. He'd ruin. it, dude. And he would spend his money. on that instead of buying his brother a. new leg who's missing one. Shout out.

Billy. >> But yeah, go on. >> He could Well, he should get a discount. and be like, if you get 50 grand off, throw that 50 to that leg. >> That's what I'm saying. >> He already wrapped his head around. spending 850. >> Yeah. >> And then, oh, you know what? You could. go eight like if Kid Rock goes, I'm. spending 850 for this. And then he goes. to his brother and goes, "If you can get. any down, you can get that leg, >> right? Whatever you save, you earn.". Yeah. >> Yeah. I love that. And li him up. >> Oh, if I had a brother missing.

something, I'd limb his little ass up in. a heartbeat. But that's me. >> Um. >> uh But. >> so do you have a budget for how much you. can spend on coasters for this thing? Are you. >> Yeah. Yeah, it's all budgeted in like I. mean, you know, we're looking it's like. roughly going to be like $350 million. and then Yeah. And is will the land be a. lease or will it be owning the land? >> I it's there's a lot of that I can't get. into. >> Okay. And how hands-on with you are all. of that? Like some of it and some of. it's obviously just like the minutia you. wouldn't be involved in, but yeah. How.

hands-on with you are all that. >> and picking picking the I mean it's. crazy cuz you're I'll be in this in. these meetings and I forget again that. we were talking about like being in. charge. I forget like storyland like all. this stuff when you do this. I'm paying. for all this for them to go do the. feasibility study and like to economic. study and like I mean these are giant. studies that they do when you do. investments to go to show the tax. revenue that it can bring the jobs that. you can bring to Nashville. I mean the. reason I love this idea and doing this.

is the idea of providing jobs. I want I. want it 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. Someone like me that. wasn't able to go that couldn't get into. college and like so I 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. I.

didn't know what jobs you know you don't. meet people that have other crazy jobs. You were reading water meters? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Re Juliet. And. >> did you? >> Yeah. >> They got a lot of water out there, huh? >> Yeah. Yeah. A lot of meters. >> And you had to go do it. >> Uh. >> cuz you can't just guess. Huh. >> Now I think they have it where you can. drive by it and it just does it. electronically. I had to get out with a. crowbar and you would lift up the thing. and type in how much water. >> and how they have snakes in there. sometimes. >> Oh yeah. I remember one was laid right. on top of the water meter. >> and you got to get it.

>> That makes my body nervous. >> Yeah. Yeah. spiders and you never knew. every time you open one up. >> You ever find anything cool in there? A. little Somebody stashed the bag a little. bag of something. >> Uh, no. I don't think I ever found. anything like that. No, but. >> really nothing. Nobody hid nothing. A. little spare lunch or whatever. >> I don't think people. >> stack a little sack of Christmas. ornaments or something. >> It would be a good place to put. something. >> cuz nobody thinks about that. It's so. >> No one thinks about it. Yeah, I don't. think they do. But it would have been a. good spot to put something. >> But you'd see spiders up in there. I.

mean, yeah, that was every one of them. had spiders. >> No, >> they loved it. >> And you ever see a clean one, somebody. taking care of it, they just. >> No. No. I mean, you It's, you know, I. mean, I guess a newer house like, you. know, one I think it just hasn't been. through it yet. >> Yeah. >> But, uh, yeah, but I do remember this. snake. Snake was just curled right on. top of it and I had to get it off. because I have to lift the thing to read. it. Gosh. Yeah. I sold Italian food door. for a while with this fella, dude. And.

that was a dang. >> pizza or just all Italian food. >> Huh? I wouldn't say. No, we had bread. rolls. We had um Italian. it was like this thing called Italian. caviar or whatever, but it was really. just like. >> raviolis or whatever. And then uh what. else? They had uh. >> like um pastas, balines, >> they had araviada. Uh, what else? Uh,

I think they had vodka, sauce, pizza or. something. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I don't know. But we just had like. >> I deliver pizzas, too. >> Well, you deliver pizzas. >> Pizza Hut. >> You worked today on Pizza Hut, dude. They're redoing it. You saw that? They're coming back. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know why? Cuz. experiences. >> Oh, >> that's a big thing. That's a big reason. is to It's stuff for people to do cuz. they they we we had that uh you remember. they used to have a buffet, pizza buff. pizza. It was great. >> You kidding? Where would your mom fight? It's when your parents try to real. something serious going on in the. marriage. They take you there.

>> Yep. >> That was something serious was. happening. And it could be something. good or bad. >> Ford waters and you got a Sprite. >> Dude, they didn't with those big red. cups. >> Yeah. >> I would buy I would buy. five dozens of those red cups. The Coke, any soda tastes the best out of that. >> It's true. Huh. >> It's the best. >> Now, they had a particular type of ice. in there, too, I think. >> Yes. >> A little bit. like a little shave sonic. >> Yeah, it was something different. >> Something was different. >> I think having a unique ice, it's it's.

little things like that that can add a. lot of texture to a place. Um, a little. bit more about Nataland. So, so some. things obviously you have to get the. funding to make sure you can get the. space. So, some things it's like this. happens then this happens. It's like a. domino falling effect. >> Yeah. If there like I mean it's right. now I'm spending all the money for it. >> And now are you putting your own money. in with somebody else or what's going on. here? >> No, just my money. >> So, you're the only money in This. doesn't go anywhere. I will be in big. trouble. No, I mean I would be touring.

for the rest of but it's like right now. it's on. It's just me. >> What made you make that choice? It's a. big choice and no judgment and I think. it's a cool choice. I think it's a good. choice. What makes you make it? And I. wish you the best of luck with it. Exciting. I'll go over there. >> Thank you. We'd love to have you. Uh it. it's uh you know my first job was a. theme park. I worked at Operland here in. Nashville and uh I was 15 and so I don't. know they then they got rid of that my. senior year in high school and I mean.

the whole city kind of was like why. would you do that? Like it was a. profitable theme park. Everybody kind of. liked it. I I I'm not saying from that. day I was like I'm going to build a. theme park but then as I got uh. >> Why did they close it? Do you know? >> They they got a mall. There's a mall. there now. Opry Mills Mall. And I don't. >> It used to be Operand The theme park. right there. I don't even know that. >> Yeah. I don't even know if it'd be. curious to see if there's a reason. I. don't know if there'd be a real reason. on on the internet to be honest.

>> I think that it was like maybe pro like. it was like just easier to have a mall. than it would be a theme park for. whatever reason. >> Got it. Operand USA closed in 1997. because its parent company, Gaylord. Entertainment, wanted to transition. Sorry, crazy name. Gay Lord because. Lord, I think is straight. >> Yeah. wanted to transition the seasonal. theme park into a highly profitable. year-round retail and entertainment. complex. Understandable. >> Yeah. So that was the Wall Bash. Cannonball. The one that goes upside. down. >> Oh, that was it. You remember the name. of that one?

>> I know them all. Yeah. >> What's that one? >> Scream wall bash cannonball. >> The wall bash cannonball. >> Yeah. >> Dang. So you were there, Nate? >> Yeah. Screaming the screaming delta. demon. >> Oh yeah, I met her before. I met her. Dang it. Out at uh she goes to. Mississippi State for sure. I think she just did 50 days of boozing. out there at uh in Knoxville for sure, dude. Uh oh my god. So you were in the. trenches there at Opry Land. >> Yeah, I was a I was a sweeper and I.

worked in the dog kennel and my dad did. magic there. >> Oh. So, but like so the reason I thought. about this was like the idea it's uh you. know when you started I started doing. all these arenas and all my the my big. daydreaming goal when I was starting. comedy was to headline Bridgestone. >> and so when I when I did it for the. first time I remember that night uh I. really was like I mean I remember it was. that night I was like what am I supposed. to do now because I just thought about.

that for 20 years. >> and Then uh which is crazy. It was 20. years pretty much I think exactly for me. to get there to headline Bridgestone and. uh congratulations on that dude. >> And we sold 19,365. tickets which is 20 years. Isn't that. crazy? >> Dang. >> If you're into I don't know. I'm not. even into numbers. >> You sold 19,365 tickets. >> So 19 years plus. >> 365. >> 20 years. >> 20 years. Dang. And but uh so when you.

when I got to that I go all right like I. just felt like what am I what's the next. you got to have something else it can't. be you know I you got to I got to assume. that if I keep become a great comic. arenas will come I'll be able to do. Madison Square Garden I'll be able to do. all this stuff so I have to I believe in. myself that I can do that but then. what's the purpose of me like what's the. per and I and I thought it can't be. about me right this life cannot be about. me or I'm going to go crazy, right? >> And so, uh, from that moment is when I.

started Nate when I was like, I'm going. to start Nate Land the company. The idea. of like being able to make some movies. that are the movie that we're making. right now, the bread winner. And then, uh, you know, I thought of a theme park. and thought like, you know what, I want. to build a place where, you know, maybe. all my ideas can go live. This theme. park is not going to be about me. It's. about the state of Tennessee, but or. it's about, you know, it's called Nate. Land and there's going to be Easter. eggish stuff, but people think it's. going to be a like a shrine to me. It's.

not. It's, you know, it's going to. represent Nashville and all this stuff. It's like you just got to have someone. that has the vision to be able to want. to go do it. Did you guys have choices. for different names? Is Natan because. it's the production company, so you just. named it the same thing? >> It's just always been Yeah, Nate is a. >> And I get it. Look, I mean, you worked. at you worked at a theme park. You came. up with it. It's like I certainly get. that. >> I think it's the it's the trust. The. reason the reason it's named after me is. the trust. If you can if I can keep. trust with my audience, with this. audience that we do, and that's the.

biggest thing. So, if they can trust. that they know that they can see what. I'm doing, then it's like you kind of. need to know who's making like who's. behind this. I see. So, you're putting. yourself behind. >> I'm putting I will sell the tickets. Got. it. >> I the responsibility of that park. thriving is on me. I need to sell the. trick tickets. I need to keep the trust. that I have with this audience. That's. on me. That's not anybody else's. problem. I'll do it. That's that's what. I feel has been bestowed upon me. That's.

I'm just doing what I feel I'm being. asked to do. Called to. >> Did you pray about it kind of too? Like. if you had a Cuz this is some of these. are big choices. Not that you need to. >> Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of it. is. I mean a lot of it is you feel very. much like you know doors and and stuff. and your ideas and stuff that you think. of or. >> oh it's not even yours it belong it's. kind it's like a higher power. >> Oh yeah yeah I I very much you you I. mean you can visualize a lot of stuff. and then I think when you can easily. visualize something you're like and then.

the doors start opening in that way then. you go that's the direction you need to. kind of head in. where if you if you if. you want something else but you're. having a hard time visualizing it then. you're probably forcing and that's. probably not the direction you need to. go in. You need to just like you just. kind of follow the lead and uh as we did. Nate land and then it was. [clears throat] kind of excited. You got. me excited now cuz yeah you hear little. things and you see things on X and stuff. like that but you don't know you know. and so I feel so lucky that I'm getting. to listen to you talk about it. Yeah, it's I mean, you know, one of the things.

I do I want, you know, eventually to I. think when you go to Natland, maybe you. don't really know who Nate is and it's. not about that. Like it's about. everything there. >> Oh, one day that's what everything. becomes. It's like you don't even know. It's like you go to like uh Applebees or. whatever. You don't know who Roger. Applebee is anymore. >> No. >> You know, or whatever. Or if you go to. like Tim Hortons, you don't. >> Logan's You don't know the Logan. >> Oh, yeah. You don't even know Logan's. I. think Ernest lives there now. He's. living in one of them. Ernest Tubass. >> No, Ernest freaking uh.

>> Oh, the singer. >> Yeah, Ernest [laughter] the singer, dude. For Logan's Roadhouse, he's kind. of like John Dailyaly is for Hooters. He. like lives in the back of one of them. Bless him, brother. Bless Ernest. He has. a new album [clears throat] coming out, too. I got to get him and Willie. Robertson in here sometime to sit and. chop it up. Those guys are funny. Um, but no, dude. I just understand it more. Now, take me on some of these rides. because I know you've already thought. about some of the ride. Wait, first of. all, hold on. Is there going to be a. water facil? You're not doing the water. thing, huh? >> Water park. No. No.

>> Because also people get what? >> I can't say. Yes. >> People get electrocuted if you're. >> water parks. >> Yeah. Really? >> Well, I mean, they're not going to If. you get electrocuted, this is kind of. crazy. >> If it rains. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Well, if it rains, it's more water. But. if you get if you get electrocuted, do. you have to have water to get. electrocuted? No. I've been. electrocuted. I got like cheated upside. on a food truck that was selling. seafood, illegal seafood. Um, >> you know, you Portland, you know,

Portland would always I thought of this. that or like or like uh uh uh like said. like uh food trucks, right? Like people. make fun of like cuz I'll go to. McDonald's and all this stuff. Then. people go to food truck and they'll be. like they're raving about this food. truck. You're like this guy had his food. in this Honda Civic all night. You got. to trust that he took it home. >> Yeah, dude. >> You go, who are you to tell me that. mine's at least in a building and. frozen? >> I've always thought that. >> Yeah. >> Like they'll call especially people in. the south like rednecks. Like he was.

like, but dude, this guy Yeah. that you. know how close that is to his gas tank. Like he's cooking right over. >> New York City is like, you know, it's. like then there's been a long line in a. food truck and. >> Yeah. >> you're, you know, and it's like, oh, that's okay. And you're like, >> McDonald's is safer than that. >> Yeah, dude. I don't want a quesadilla. that is that got here at 80 miles an. hour. >> Yeah. >> You know, >> that's got tire marks on it because he. backed it because he got in a fight that. morning with his wife and he ran out and. >> Yeah. >> But he had the plastic over them. So. he's like, "It doesn't matter." Like.

>> like that changes everything. If you put. plastic over something, it changes. everything. Little saran wrap. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> If he's like, "Oh, dang. This is like 3. days old." You put some saran wrap over. it. >> Who knows? Like dude, >> like he just put it together. >> Who knows? Kids back there. Yeah. It's. like when you get an Uber and there's a. car seat and you're like, I don't want. to be a part of your life, man. Yeah. >> I just want to ride in an Uber. >> Yeah. I didn't know Kevin Hart was in. here earlier. Um, did you get did you. get us to be on the roast? >> Uh, I think I think I think so. But I. mean, that's just not my kind of thing. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So, I I mean, it would have had a.

show at the same time, too. >> You did? >> Mhm. But, yeah, they did it. They did. the roast. >> Oh, none of the roasters, I don't think, had a problem with the jokes. Um Oh, wait. Except for Chelsea Handler did. I. think Chelsea Handler came out and said. that she has some problem with some of. Shane and Tony's jokes. Maybe. Um. >> I don't think with the roast. I think it. was Shane and Tony. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think she had. problem with them. Good call. >> She kind of said the Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Like I don't know about all the jokes. mainly Shane and [laughter] Tony.

>> Do you feel like in that kind of. instance if people are signing up for. something like that, it feels like it's. like fair game unless it's like vile, you know? Maybe. >> I think it's got to all be fair game. You're signing up for it. But I mean, it's like how like I know, you know, it's like one of those like where are. you going to say the line is uh the. roast have just they they've just I. believe have gotten to the spirit of the. roast is kind of gone. You're you're not. really having people on there that love. each other and so if there's no love. shown then uh it's it's it just gets.

mean and. >> u you know and but I mean not saying. that they they did they did what they. were asked to do, right? I thought they. a lot of them did a great job. You know. what I was very happy for? Big Jay. Oersonson killed it. >> Yes. Yeah. Big Jay I was very happy. Uh you. know I've been with Big Jay. We started. with him like uh so Jay crushed it and. Naim Lynn I thought crushed it and uh I. like Na Le. But those are those people. have a connection with Kevin Hart and so.

they there's there's you can see that. the love is there. here. I thought Shane. did very good. Uh or like you know. moving along, hosting it. Like it's a. hard thing to it's a lot to go do. Uh. yeah, people did. >> what they were supposed to do. But I. mean these roast. >> it's like uh they're just I mean. >> some of the feeling you're right, dude. Some of the feeling that you get with. it. It's like. >> it's intense. It's funny. And some of it. is like. some of it is kind of like Yeah. What.

feeling do I really leave here with in. the end? Right? Like I leave with some. temporary highs for sure. Oh, that was. crazy. That was creative. Even something. that's edgy and dark can be still be. very creative. >> But yeah, some of it it's like does some. of this really make me feel good or does. like. >> Yeah, I think so. I thought Kevin Hart. did great handling a lot of it too cuz. it was like it wasn't you know. >> he you know kept saying like this is. what you signed up for and. >> yeah he kept. >> I thought the messaging was good from.

him afterwards like. >> cuz I mean it was like such a tough. crazy. >> it's a crazy. >> roast but it's like I mean you know you. what you I think if you do roast if you. go look back at the old roast and stuff. these guys the the people that were up. there were really you as far as I knew. but they really knew each other or they. were really friends or they there was. actually love really shown so you could. go do stuff and when there's no love. shown and with some of them they don't.

even know them each other it's like it's. going to be it's going to be tough. Cheryl Underwood did great like hand. what you know the stuff they were saying. but how she handled that she she has a. great laugh and like so it's like she. handled it well she handled it very well. and like uh. >> yeah I had a joke I was thinking while. she was there I was like oh she looks. like Prince put his finger in the new. power generation that was something that. I thought of whilst he was up there you. know cuz I like sitting home were you at. it and thinking the jokes nuhuh I wasn't. at it I don't want to go like I don't. want them catching my face if I see.

something if my feelings get hurt or. something I got enough of that [ __ ] out. there. So, I don't need any of that. But. yeah, it was just interesting. They Oh, yeah. Cuz you get enough you just get. more calls and texts. >> Oh, dude. Yeah, >> that would be funny. They just show your. face and they go to jump off a building. >> Yeah. He's not doing well. Every week. it's like somebody's like, "Oh, Theo is. not doing well. I'm doing fine. In fact, I'm doing great.". >> Yeah. Well, that's what that's what. people want to hear, though. You know, >> that he's not doing well. >> No, that you're doing great.

>> Yeah. I think sometimes people worry. about you, but that's a lot of love. shown your way that people worry about. >> Yeah. [snorts] But sometimes it's people. take stuff that's kind of normal and. they put it in their own space and put. it out there like, "Oh, this guy's. having a problem." And I think my. podcast has always just been like a. place like where I just kind of share. what's going on, right? Like, and I. share it pretty transparently, I guess. And maybe I shouldn't do that as much, >> but I don't share it because I need. somebody's claim or approval. >> No, I understand that. >> But I think I don't like it. Sometimes. people will frame it like, "Oh, we can. help this guy." Mhm. >> It's like, dude, I'm fine. You know,

like I'm as fine as any human being is. Being a human seems real spooky. sometimes. >> Yeah. >> Start every podcast with I'm fine. >> Yeah, I know. But then here's the crazy. part. The more you say [ __ ] like then it. becomes this thing. So the whole thing. is kind of crazy. You know, >> do a podcast from the top of a building. >> and just go I'm fine. >> That'd be a great idea, dude. >> You know, my buddy Julian Mcola. >> actually like I don't know this. [laughter] is this crazy. >> He's really playing into it. I like that. idea, dude. You know, >> I don't.

>> And look, we keep moving the desk closer. over to the edge. >> They They go, "Is he all right?" He. goes, "I'm fine." And you just start to. scoot. My my Julian Mcola, you know, Julian, uh, he has a very funny joke. like when he gamles, like when he loses, uh, he goes, "Hey, do y'all got a. bathroom on top of the roof?" [laughter]. Uh, he always tells the the dealer, which is such a funny thing to say after. you lose a big hand. Hey, excuse me. Do. y'all got a bathroom on top of the roof? [laughter].

>> Well, we're definitely living, it seems. like, in the sick circle of hell these. days. You know, we're getting things. have gotten a little, >> you know, things are getting a little. interesting. Um, we Oh, we got to talk. about the rides, dude. So, what first of. all, what are. >> Well, I don't know if I'm going to tell. you anything about the rides. >> for the rides at that at Nland. >> Yeah. >> But do you know the governor that's. going to be the speed on them or. whatever? Have you already decided? >> No. No. No. We I mean we're going. through Oh, like how fast? >> Uh. >> let me run one of them.

>> I'll let you run one of them. >> I will. >> Let me run one. >> I know. >> Just for an evening. Just do Theo night. >> I do a Theo night. You run it and then. you get on it with them, but you don't. pull the safety thing down. You go. >> Oh, I say it doesn't work. >> Yeah. You Yeah. No, I'm saying you sit. in it and you leave yours up and they. go, "He's not fine." And that's the And. we all we just always play into that. There you go. Theo's crazy. He goes, "I. don't need it.". >> Oh god. >> Or you just hold it and you see if you.

can go do it. I'll let you do a roller. coaster. I don't I just to Yeah. Just to. >> Let me DJ it one night or something. >> Oh yeah. >> Or what are good rides? I'm trying to. think for like even for young like. I wish they had a ride that helped you. like the Lisp fixer or whatever. >> Oh, like a spinner. Just something like. it just spun you so much you the lisp. just flew right out of you. >> Counterlockwise. >> Yeah. >> Spinner counterclockwise. >> Yeah. Time after time. Remember that.

song? >> Yeah. >> You could rush. You goodbye. You can. still find me. >> Was that a list? >> Time after time. >> Is that a song about lisp? >> I don't know who sang that, but I just. think if they had a or the underbite. fixer or whatever. I'm trying to think. of a good like a ride that would like. you know. >> underbite fixer would be just we have a. guy walk around. He just punches you. >> Yeah. >> Undercut. And you don't ever know where. he's at. >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> And you just know when you go in with an. underbite, we've clocked you. >> Facial recognition, all that stuff. We.

can tell. And then he's just a guy. that's just, you know, he's going to get. you. And you know, he's going to get. you, but he's going to get you so good. that you're never going to see it. coming. >> And we fix that underbite. >> I like that. >> Yeah. No charge. >> I like that idea. Or Yeah. Or if they. had like the GLP1, >> the oimpic ride. >> Yes. And when you get off and it makes. it spins you so fast that you get a. little leaner because of how it does. your body. >> Mhm. >> Or like when you take a shirt or or. towel and you put it in the washer and.

you do the spin cycle. >> Yeah. >> And it comes out. It'll almost stand up. itself. It's got so much centrifugal in. it. >> Yeah. >> Well, you do that boy. Get your mama so. spun around you. Dang. You know what I'm. saying? >> She'll fit into a size one and a half. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah, >> she'll fit into her dang baby hour. >> for at least an hour. You go like maybe. it's I don't think it's going to be. forever. No, it's not. >> But it's at least an hour. Yeah. >> It's not full time. >> Yeah. No. No. If you want to go get. married, you're like, you do that and. you better get over to that. >> You better get to that church quick.

>> Oh, yeah. I got to be in Nate land at. 100 p.m. And then I got to be. >> talking about that food that you ate. where you feel it expand in your mouth. That's what's going to happen to your. body in a wedding dress. But you come in. >> now. Yeah. Once the band starts though, honey, that's you're on your own. >> Yeah, you're we not responsible for. that. >> Yeah, you get one.

This I think it's been good. I love. learning about Nate Land, man. I think I. understand it a lot better. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, people don't. Yeah. I. mean, it was I think people are I mean, it's crazy, dude. It's crazy to build a. theme park. I think it's crazy every. time I think about it. I think about it. like, you know, where I'm like, what am. I doing? >> Yeah. Was there a moment? Take me.

through some of this, right? Was there a. moment like cuz sometimes you feel like. you get to different places in like your. career and in your life. I think a lot. of people go through like, you know, they call them midlife crisis, quarter. life crisis. You'll see like a fifth. grader going through like a fifth grader. life crisis they have now on TikTok or. whatever. Um. >> they in fifth grade they do. >> Yeah. Now that's a thing or whatever. It's like all right. But do you like. >> Did you graduate? I went to my daughter. graduated eighth grade yesterday. >> Yeah. And I went to that. Did you? I. don't I did not have an eighth grade. graduation. >> We had one.

>> Really? >> Yeah. >> I think they told us to get out. >> and that was it. >> Dude, it was Remember when school led. out? >> Yeah. >> God, that day cuz you looked so forward. to but then you had not there was. nothing to do. >> Yeah. You lay there all summer and just. drool in the middle of your living room. >> Mhm. >> And wait for your mom to get home. Even. though you couldn't you couldn't wait. for her to leave, but you couldn't wait. for her to get home. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> God. >> Yeah. Today was my daughter's first her. start of summer. But anyway,

>> what do y'all have planned for the. summer together? Do you Is it some. things you guys are going to do? >> Uh I don't know. She uh like she rides. she loves horse riding and all this. So. she'll she'll do a ton of that and. that's what her summer ends up becoming. a lot of like going out. We It's at a we. have she goes to this stable that's run. by this great this uh family and so she. goes there and I mean she'll be up there. all day. >> She loves it. >> That's nice. >> Yeah, it's nice.

>> Do you get out there and ride with her. sometimes? >> I have. Not a ton, but I have. >> Are you getting better at it or is it. tough for you? >> Not I've not done it enough to get. better. It's a lot. I mean, it's a it's. a lot. Getting on horses is a lot. I. mean, you know, but she does it. you. know, to tack a horse and put the. everything on it. It's a whole whole. thing. >> Oh, yeah. >> But yeah, I definitely plan on getting. out there. I mean, last time I tried it. was like kind of colder, but now that. we're in the summer and I'll try to, you. know, go on some trail rides with her. >> Hey, man. That'd be a blast, dude.

>> But you're saying something about Nate. Land, like the. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anything else you can. tell me about Nate Land kind of before. we leave? Well, it's it's like the idea. The hard part is uh. >> Oh, I was saying thank you so much for. just for explaining to me what it was. like, like what some of the. >> And then I'm worried about doing it. >> Yeah. And then you're worried about. doing it cuz Yeah. I was saying you get. to certain points of your career where. you're like, >> "Well, now what?" Like I just got to. know my special. Like I've been touring. for the past like really 20 years I've. been touring, right? Like I was touring. 26 weekends a year like. >> because I could sell tickets like early.

because I've been on TV already, but it. was like I didn't have any comedy. But. so I it's just been so this is like the. first time in my life is like the second. week of it. Yeah. >> And it's like yeah I don't know what to. do kind of. Yeah. >> And it's kind of like interesting and my. first thought is. >> just go back out on tour like figure it. out and go back out and maybe that is. what'll 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. career where you're like and in your. life right where you're like well now. what do I do? And then what happened. with this where you were like, "Okay,

this is like a feasible real thing that. I can take on." Um, and maybe you. already answered that for me. Sorry. >> No. Well, I would say, you know, the. hard I think the hard part when you want. to do something like this, it's so weird. and it's so different of a thing that. you want to go do. So, you do get a lot. of people just being like, why why are. you doing this? What do you want? Like, you know, if you're calling it Nate. Lane, you're like, why are you calling. it? You got to call it after you get all. this kind of stuff like that. And I. think that's the hardest part is just. kind of sit and wade through those kind.

of things and not let you because it is. crazy. But I I know what I'm doing it. for the right reason and I just got to. believe that, you know, I'm doing it for. the right reason. And so you just got to. sit and just kind of like, you know, it. feels like it's kind of a joke and maybe. people think it's a joke and I. understand that it could be a joke, but. it's like what if I do build a theme. park, dude? Like what if I do it? Like. that's crazy. >> Yeah. >> You know, I'm like I don't come from any. world where I should be building a theme.

park. >> Yeah. >> I come from Old Hickory. >> There's. there's nowhere in my growth of a child. to high school, any of this that you. would ever be at a point there's nohere. that I should even had the success that. I should have had. >> Yeah. >> So then you got to go to where you start. going like, well then I'll just start. I'll just keep going till someone says. no until they, you know. Well, Mike. Lindell had the My Pillow. >> Yeah. >> And you would have saw that probably out. of him.

>> I'll sell that. Yeah. >> You You wouldn't have saw it out of him, probably. >> Oh, no. No, no, no, not at all. >> Or people have all kind. >> No, but like Yeah. Like that's what I. think when uh when when you have these. ideas and you want to go do something, it's like just it's like you got to just. go do it, dude. And the hardest thing is. you got to sometimes and I it's it's. going to be people that you know that. they're the you know that sometimes can. be your friends or whatever that can be. like what are you doing? Why are you. doing this? Those are the ones that kind. of come and they they you know they.

don't understand and some of that is uh. >> some of it's jealousy. >> I think some of it is you're leaving. people behind. That's like that thing. that you could see were getting in. shape. I'm not in shape. I want to get. in shape, but it's like I don't know if. someone or anything if someone does. something that they can like you're. moving forward. >> and I think they just like go why why. are you doing that? >> Yeah, dude. Well, I mean I I even had. questions about it. I was curious about. it, right? I didn't know. I was like, "Oh, this is interesting." But I just.

heard rumors, right? >> And I was like, "Yeah, the name had. popped into my head like, "Oh, why why. would he choose that? What's going on?". Right? Um, >> I choose it because I you again like to. trust it. >> Oh, do after talking to you like. >> I get exactly where it is, you know? Um, and it is weird why sometimes our brains. will jump to like. >> I think some of it is probably a little. bit of jealousy to be honest or a little. bit of like. >> um, wow, he's brave enough to do that. And I don't even know if some of that's. jealousy maybe a little bit. I'm not.

talking exactly about me really, but I'm. just talking like it's interesting, man. But then like you say, nothing happens. unless somebody does it. >> No one's Yeah. No one wants to No one. wants to do. >> And look at Walt Disney. It was He had. both of his names in it. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He went heavy. >> Yeah. He went all the way in, dude. >> But you go see these guys like people. are stuck where they they they see stuff. get built and people have these ideas. and they think, "Well, we can't do it. again." You're like, "Why can't you do. it again?" Right? >> Why can't you? We had a theme park here. I'm not picking a city that's never had.

a theme park. Nashville and Houston are. the two cities that can sustain a full. theme park. I already know all the. stuff, right? I've already done all this. stuff. I'm paying 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. anything that I would never I have a. good gut feeling of when I feel. overwhelmed or not. And so I can tell. when it's like if I start feeling. panicky like then I'm like like this may. be back off or this or that or whatever.

And uh so I very much believe in, you. know, what I'm doing and what 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 even have a choice. It's. like it's just I'm doing. >> if that's what I'm just doing it. >> Somebody's got to do it. >> Someone's got to do it and I'm doing it. And maybe it's going to be good. Maybe. it's not going to be good. Like. >> like what if I don't make it? What if I. do make it? >> Yeah. But it's the same with making a. movie. It's the same with anything. It's. like what? Maybe you know. >> you always think and anybody that is. says no, you're like what does it. matter? What does it matter if I who.

cares? >> Yeah. What is the skin off your back? >> Yeah. I don't want anything from you, >> right? >> I don't want anything from I want people. that either buy into what I'm trying to. do or or just don't. >> Yeah. That's the same way I feel about. 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, I. tried that. I want to smile and think. about the things that I tried. Yeah. You. know, >> and you got to think too with comedians. Look at the success you get where just.

you're talking. We're just talking. We. don't have movie. We don't have a music. behind us. We don't have That's just us. talking. >> Yeah. >> So like if you start That's why you. think about movies where you're like. Yeah. If you go put a movie behind, you. know, not that everything's going to. work or whatever, you're like it's it's. the most purest art form. So if you can. get to a high level of just. >> oh movie scary. >> trait straight up that. Well, movies. scary because. >> you don't know if it's how it's going to. be until the day of, dude. It's and.

that's very nerve-wracking. And I'll say. this, dude, we made some mistakes for. sure. Um, >> I'd never watched the movie with an. audience until I sat in there and. watched it at the premiere. >> Yeah. And that was bizarre, dude, 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, but then you're like, >> it almost felt like, it sounds crazy to. say, dude. >> Like I was watching like something I. wasn't supposed to be watching with.

other people. It's almost like watching. porn porno or whatever cuz you're like, >> I should This is something you watch by. yourself. And suddenly I realized as it. starts, I'm like, whoa, whoa. >> Yeah, >> I've watched this already. This is. something I'm supposed to watch by. myself. I don't think this is for mass. consumption. So that was so freaking. harrowing, dude. >> We did a premiere. It is very It's very. weird to watch yourself and you're. you're like, "Ah, I should have done. that or I should have done that, you. know?". >> Yeah. Just Yeah. I mean, but to just do. it like.

>> like stand up you're almost like I don't. watch my stand up or I'll watch it maybe. once but it's like you've done it so. much that I think maybe you're kind of. used to but like yeah in a movie you're. like. >> you just feel like you feel like. everybody else is like a real actor and. you're like I don't know what I'm doing. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's crazy. >> Oh the immense feeling of I don't know. what I'm doing. Yeah. >> You know. >> Um but. >> well dude for somebody that doesn't know. what they're doing man you're doing a. really great job of it. >> Thank you. And thank you, bro. And um.
