#660 - Nate Bargatze

Today's guest is a stand-up comedian. He's a host. He's a fixture in the world of comedy. He's a leader. This guy's a leader in the world of comedy and clean comedy. He's one of one, I would say. That's for sure. He has a new film that's coming out in theaters this weekend called The Breadwinner. That's Friday, May 29th. You can go check it out. He's building an amusement park like a real one for amusement right here in Nashville, Tennessee. I'm thankful to spend time with today's guest Mr. Nate Bargette. I saw some guys talking about when you would slip, remember when you were kidding 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 a pretend you were asleep, like you were ready to get up and go, but it wasn't your world. It was their universe. Yeah. I would think that you know that's when you're a kid and the biggest opposite is when you're older and then everybody's up. You know and meet the parents. Yeah. That like scene made me laugh so hard when like Ben Stiller comes downstairs and everybody's been up for like a couple hours because 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 mean, I know people outside of comedy, they have like a meeting at like 630 or 7. Like a meeting in the morning. In the morning. Yes. And you're like, what? Yeah. Yeah. For what? Yeah. Maybe with God. Maybe that's early. I could see that. Yeah. Yeah. You know, or an actual meeting with the sun, like if you got an email from the sun, it's like, Hey, I'm, we're going to need you there. Yeah. Like the literal sun. Yes. Yes. Yes. If he was like, Hey, I'm here. Yeah. Either sun. The sun shows up early though. Yeah. Yeah. 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. 730 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. I've been and I hate to say this because I'm wanting to hear myself say this. Yeah. Yeah. I think. Oh, God, it hurts even coming down to my neck. I think I'm a, I think I'm a morning person. You know, I could. And you know what I'm saying? I'm sorry to say that. Well, I think it's, you know, it's, uh, I don't want to apologize people who can't even handle hearing that. Yeah. Because they want you to be a night person. It was 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 did like, not to, you talk about my movie right now. But like, I'm saying when I shot the movie and you just shot a movie, there's like structure, right? You have to go and set the movie. The breadwinner is the movie. But like when you shot your movie, it's, you got to be on set at this time and this, this, this is, and I loved it because I don't think we have structure as comedians. Yeah. And we don't come from any of it and we go, I remember I wrote for the spike video game awards like a long time ago. And uh, spikes at volleyball. What was it? Now, I remember that TV show or that 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, 2000. Oh, yes. I do remember this. It was like a dudes 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 fighters started on there. The reality show launched the UFC and modern MMA into the mainstream. Interim. Blue Mountain State. What's that? Blue Mountain State. That was, that was a show with a preacher. Uh, I know it was real name Jack creature. I look like Jack creature right now. And this is what he would wear. He, I look like Jack reach around me. Oh, yeah. And my body doesn't, but this is he wears shirt like this. Alan Richardson. I know out 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 a, a little bit ahead of his time. Like it's, it's almost a channel that bar rescue. It's a pretty good stuff, man. Bar rescue a thousand ways to die. No thing. I'll take one way. Yeah. But you'd want to know the other. I don't need to know a thing at a thousand. You're just, you're, 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 get to, I mean, cause it's going to be a spider bite. It's going to be your step on a nail and an artery. I don't know if you're on vares. 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, it was a, it was a great, it was a good channel, especially like a hit an age, didn't demographic. You know, this is on dude. Onto, we were just, I was just talking about entourage. Entourage was on here in this time. Like, so it was on television. Not the same channel. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know that Alan Richon, 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. We're, we'll take whatever you got. I didn't understand that. Look up once more. Spike TV was this mountain do can. It was everything it represents. Oh, yeah, America is American. American do with Spike TV. Yeah. Thousand ways to see his shotgun and yeah, blue mountain state. Yeah. It was all other. Yeah. Yeah. What were you, what were you talking about? So you're talking about Spike TV. You see, you went on a Spike TV, the strike, like having structure of the movie. Oh, yeah. 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 car. Oh, it's great. And they tell you to even comedians, I noticed they told, and I don't know if they did this on bread was, but they told me we told I lied to myself, but that 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 low. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't know if we, I think that's, I think the people have done that to me. Yeah. Yeah. They 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'll get to, but if it's, if it's not, you can sometimes it's like, yeah, it's just, there's a lot of stuff. It's, I think it's hard being your own, when you're 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. It's just you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I realize that I work for myself and I'm not the best employee I realize. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That makes sense. Like it's, yeah, you, you can, 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 going to beat up yourself. Oh, yeah. Because you think like, I should be doing more, I mean, I think about, like, you know, oh, yeah, when you work with yourself, I should get structure. I have no structure. Yeah. Athletes have structure. They have like, you know, routines. Yeah. Yeah. There's no, like, it is 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 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 along 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, yeah. That's a fantasy, am I? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're 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 because it's quiet because it's under the mattress. Yeah. It didn't stay in a chance. So I wanted structure, but I was just not willing to adhere to it. Yeah. Yes. 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 for myself. Yeah. Like what are we even doing? Yeah. I think you want someone to be in charge. Yes. I don't know. And unfortunately, it's you every time. It's you. You had an old show. What? I had an old joke where I said, you know, it's like what the thing with comedy is like, if you wanted to quit comedy, there's no one to quit to. So you like can't call sign failed and be like, hey, I'm out. 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 a, you can't just quit because then everybody's like, where you at? So even if you wanted to quit, you're like, I don't know. What do you do? Make a video and then everybody's like, why are you quit? And you're like, now you quit into millions of people. Yeah. And you're like, no. wanted to kind of slowly fade. Yeah. Daniel Day 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. 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 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 all you it's older you've seen it really it's about 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 hello 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 fallen 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 so his left foot is like it's like it's necessary it's a big deal yes let's see it no one expects from much from Christy Brown Daniel Day Lewis a boy with cerebral palsy born in an old working class Irish family okay no train little different uh that's a train with the help of his stealing mother and no shortage of grit and determination Christy overcomes his infirmity to become a painter poet and author I was like a true story though Christy's a spacer quadriplegic and essentially paralyzed I'm a miraculous event occurs when at the age of five he demonstrates control of his left foot by using chalk to scroll 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 in a fried green tomato that's what I was thinking about us realize that that as a train in it yeah a little crossover yeah um that's but that's a good you know the only train movie I think of was that one Denzel Washington was good John Training Day I don't think it's training day there's one where yeah there is an actually not training but there's one that there is a unstoppable oh I've seen that it's great that's kind of where I'm at I haven't seen my left foot but I've seen no pelican one two three maybe that's it oh 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 there's a question in it nothing to do with the train but that was didn't yeah that's a good one an Oscar for that or maybe maybe we shouldn't go to the year I don't think but uh but you have this was good you have a new movie you have your movies coming out yeah no trainings May 29th May 29th yes breadwinner breadwinner and theaters in theaters um and you have a Nate rate what did I see the yeah what is this yeah we got the we we talked all the movie theaters and got prices lowered nice so yeah yeah just because we want the whole family to come out it's interesting with the movies man you start looking at like theaters like you know you guys make you in distribution all this like you know think about touring like this 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 the kid on YouTube he did a horror movie and he's got a bunch of subscribers on YouTube and he's 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 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 iron is it yeah it's like something iron iron something it was iron something and then iron long 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 that was in Guising Markiplier and what does it say can you take me into the what happened with the movie he just made it he said he wanted to make it the iron long movie was independently self financed and created by youtuber mark fishbok markiplier who wrote directed produced edited and started in operating without a major studio he shot the film over 35 days using a life size 9,000 pounds submarine set mounted on hydraulic motion rig wow after struggling to find traditional Hollywood distribution he self distributed the film massive fan campaigns convinced major theater chains uh to screen it the any film became a massive box office hit grossing 50 made on a formula on a budget wow so it is fans all call I bet there 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 four million dollar budget it's amazing it'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 you go do that you know I understand the uh one time is kind of like oh yeah it's crazy so it'd be magic can you go do it again or could you repeat it and yeah it's interesting I mean even with our own movie I don't know what we so 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 it 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 eight years yeah ten years right yeah I had a lot of people who went to movie theaters by themselves we had one video of a dude he sent it in he watched the movie theater nobody else was in the theater right he ends up watching uh what was this dude today I got to find it we'll put it in he ends up it's just taking a shirt off and sitting there and watching the movie by himself relaxing the only guy in there watch the whole thing by himself this dude I think it's like it was this guy it's like this like the Latino guy is at work and he's like bro I'm freaking tired but I want to go see this movie maybe I don't know and then you see him walking he's like nobody's even here like 10 minutes later he's like I guess I'll just enjoy myself yeah 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 I got this movie I'm trying to go watch I don't feel like the shit to be honest look I still made it in this bitch of a lit check it out hey nobody it is big to my self guys we comfort recipe by windows every time the purchase and champion makes fine windows he just took it and he had to set the phone up somewhere do this that's kind of a vibe yeah yeah that's him right there golden cheeseburger right there at golden underscore cheeseburger shot at him being a hard worker went to catch up I never even thought about wanting to take a shirt off I think people either don't or do want to take the 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 yeah we know okay yeah sometimes I wish we'd try to go on more theaters but going to but yeah taking your shirt off yeah what going to theater alone man that like it's pretty great that's some of you do a lot as a comment on the road you can hit some you know you're some movie a noon yeah and you just buy yourself on there oh yeah have you ever had someone come sit right next to you I've been by my I've been like by myself or like maybe one of the comic you know two more people walking they sit in the seats in front of us oh draws me nuts and what do you do I'll move yeah because I I'll sit there and just be angry during the whole movie yeah because why would you do that oh dude yeah why would you sit right you know just go sit it's empty yeah just go sit like somewhere else up and but here's a thing though if you sit too far away from that person you think they feel kind of left out I would know I would go as far as way from 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 yes I think you got to have space I mean I would sit like when you go to the buddy like we don't sit next to each other you have that empty seat thank you yeah when we went to Kevin James movie you and I sat next to each other and we kept the seat to get to see between us like a civilized yeah yeah yeah yeah we were normal yeah and we enjoyed the movie more oh yeah I was good dude yeah like beetle juice you ever see that guy beetle juice 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 crazy part he's like where are you gonna where are you gonna leave the money at and I couldn't like yeah any and just from there it was like oh it's downhill yeah it was so hard he's like yeah where are you gonna 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 gonna sing a check yeah unreal yeah why wire. Yeah. You know, America's 250th birthday's coming up, who's going to be a big cake? And I, who's, who's even going to blow out the candles on one or probably maybe Thomas Jefferson will come down from the clouds and huff and puff a few out, maybe a bit here also, Frederick Douglass, I don't know somebody, somebody from history, somebody that's regal in that admired, it's going to come on down and just huff and puff them. Cake candles out. Happy 250th America. And an iconic summer like this deserves an iconic drink. I'm talking about Mountain Dew. Yep.

But yeah, I think it's different getting people to go to theaters. It's just it's kind of a throwback. Yeah, but I think you're heading more towards that kind of stuff with experience. I mean, you've seen people get it. You've seen a lot of things Netflix house. You've seen a lot of things where they want to experience a Netflix house. You're saying? Yeah, Netflix is doing a they they're starting to build these Netflix houses, which are like movie theaters. No, it's it's like they could they would have John Wick and they would have like I went to one like there you go. Like it's 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, 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 you so you go in and you just spend the night or day and you just get to interact with your favorite. Just change your 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 they stand up comics 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 we were 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 reverend. That's true. Preachers or yeah, 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. Yeah, but I'm trying to think of where else is there like I guess you don't know what's influence 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'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. All right, it's going to be a very big spectacle spectacle show. You're going to have to go either super big or you're going to have to be, I think like stand up 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, I'm saying like that's not refined or it's not overly produced. 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 the only place to, you know, essentially where you could maybe be actually hearing a real person. Preacher is a good example too. Like it's where you're going to, you know, have straight on like, I just 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. Yeah, I want to, what the truth. I want that, I want, I want you band to do like that. I could touch that person. Right. And I want what they really believe. I feel like, yeah, like with humor, I think at the base of a lot of our humor, I think a lot of it. I mean, some of you're joking around, but some of your true laurels are in there. Like these are some of my, you know, like some, we have the backbone of stuff that's in there. Yeah, who you are. Like, yeah, I mean, I think unless you're like a one-liner guy or something. Right. And 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, someone in there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because yeah, it's hard to get like a true like, okay, what is 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 are professors. But I mean, like, look, it's, but teachers, some of that stuff is kind of like, um, they have to follow curriculum. 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? Yeah. It's impossible. Impossible. Yeah. Maybe I'll be up there. It's impossible. That's why I'm going to see all this water warning and torture or whatever. And all this horrible stuff they're doing to people who know I'm like, dude, tickle. Yeah. Get in there. Unleash them. Get in there. I don't know. Unleash them crawdads on somebody and you'll get it. Grab your thigh right there. Oh, oh, dude. Bro, where were you? This is our JFK. 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 grabbed that little doughnut around his midsection, shake the frickin' truth out of his little thick ass or whatever. Sorry. And we'll edit that. But when somebody did that to you, how shocked we are. I didn't know that when somebody did that. Yeah. I remember like, I used to do it to my daughter too. Like you grabbed your 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 was going to be a big, it'll come back, you know. But you need ticklers. So then where you got it, where you going to do that in a safe, we'll probably get government issued ticklers and those people are going to be as we've already, they're not going to try. They're not going to be trying. You're going to 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, you're going to be leaning towards it. Dude, that's like, you're like, bro, that's so funny, bro. You're so funny, dude. That's like, dude, people sometimes that work like I'm the city, like a city of, I'm like a liais on to the city. And they segue around the town sometimes. But dude, sometimes those people, like one time, we're trying to get 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 guys, his got stuck or whatever, like in a right hand pattern. 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. He's going in circles. Yes. And we're trying like, you know, we're just trying to ask where's the monument? Yeah, dude. It's just like, dude, we're talking about Paul Revere and he just kept dodging us. Yeah. Where's Daniel Boone's house? And it's just yeah, dude. We're like, look, dude, we heard Harriet Tubman eight ice cream around here. Can you just tell me? Yes. Her David Crockett. Yeah, we heard Davey Crockett and Betty Crock are actually hooked up around. They were around the same time. Were they? I don't know. They had to admit. They had to have met up. They would at least know them about each other. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Davey 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 David. - The Crockett, it's 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 overshadow in Davy. - Hmm, I've remembered Davy Crockett 'cause he had the paraphernalia, the hat, and I think he, I don't know if he had a pistol or if he had a, yeah, I feel like he had a gun, like one of those old school guns. - Like a sick shooter or something? - Yeah, no, no, like a rifle, but like-- - Yes, that's it, bring 'em up. Let's get a gang around 'em 'cause yeah, who even knows? - Davy Crockett and Betty Crockett are unrelated, except for the share last name, which is even the same last name. - Yeah. - You want to take a three-davy Crockett there, Nate? - Yeah, Davy Crockett was a real 19th century American, front tears men and politician, but all Betty Crockett was created in 1921, and is not a real person. - Mm, so that's tough. But they were around-- - So she was a catfish, basically, which she probably-- - Yeah. - Oh, yeah, that's maybe the original catfish. - Betty Crockett. - Yeah. - He kept going, "What's up with this Betty Crockett?" I go, "She just left." - Yeah, dude, yeah, he goes, "Oh, she was just here." 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 kind of like a comedian, I guess. He was made a colonel in the militia of Lawrence County. - He posed many of the policies of President Andrew Jackson where I'm from Mold Hickory, which is named after Andrew Jackson. - Hmm, so he was elected to Congress. I didn't 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, 'cause the Alamo-- - Yeah, yes, the Alamo, yeah. Crockett became famous during his lifetime or larger than life exploits popularized by stage plays in Almanac's after his death he continued to be credited with acts of mythical proportion. And then what about, let's go Daniel Boone. When did he slot in there and steal his shine? Daniel Boone born in the 1734 while Davy Crockett was born in 1786, 52 years apart. So Boone was already an aging frontier legend. So probably our grandparents, our great grandparents, probably heard more about Boone. They did. And then we heard about Crockett. And then maybe the truth has come out that it's like, look, we need to go pretty heavy on Boone 'cause he was the originator. - Yeah. - Once that big business starts pushing Boone. I like when they're like, it's like he was born around November 2nd, like you're, they go, "Well, we weren't keeping stuff, I can't do." - That's true. - In the general area. - Yeah, yeah. - And then if he was like, "I was born in January," and you're like, "Well, yeah, that's a round." - It counts. - Yeah, it counts. - Yeah, dude, he showed up in the spring time. He grew up in a quaker farming family, but came famous for his wood crafts, 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, 'cause it was, I mean, I know that, like I'm saying, those guys did great. I bet there was a lot of guys that were like, "Yeah, nothing was built." - Right. - Every step I took was a brand new step. - Oh, yeah. You were just, yeah, you were just like a Magellan. Anybody, dude, if you got a pair of running shoes, you were a Magellan. - Oh, yeah. - You were Christopher Columbus. Imagine when you had hookas back then. - Oh. - I mean, come on. - Dude, you would be above Daniel Boone. - You were sponsored by the Spanish at that point. - You know what I'm saying? - He came up that way. - Dude. - 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 that has a lot to do with exploration because there was more woods that like last time they were being cut down. So I think you had that. And then yeah, just not knowing where everything was, being an explorer. - God. - You think you could have been an explorer? - I don't think you have a choice. I think you're just it. But it's, yeah, I think I could. - I think exploring. - 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 then you're like, I don't even know if some of that's real or not. - That looks fake a lot of that's fake. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so there's, I know in Alaska, 'cause they talk about Bigfoot and like in Alaska, there's like so much land and stuff like in 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 behind can go seek for two years. - 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. - That's a good point. - Whereas, yeah, like in other places like Modesto, it'd be tougher or, you know, up in like North Atlanta or something like that, those would be. - Yeah, Bigfoot's gonna get seen. - Oh, dude, in Atlanta, Bigfoot's gonna be at the club. - Yeah, 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, you don't think Lou to Chris is gonna have Bigfoot pull out? - Yeah. - Why would you not? You have access to him. (laughs) - Yeah. - You probably don't gotta pay him. He'd buy food. - I don't know, for sure, Clean Salmon. I'm thinking also, Yeah, Clean Salmon. He's just giving him that. - And then he drops it. - But they're gonna 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 ball. Like he has to like collab on a track or show up. - He has to go to stuff, yeah, he's like, I mean, yeah. - We need you, bro. We need you at diamonds or whatever that place is. Nipple diamonds or whatever that exotic club there is, I think. - Oh, yeah. One of them got very big on trouble. - All of them. - Yeah, a lot of them. 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 talk about going to those clubs. And there's no, like, you know, we feel like there's someone that's like, hey, that's not. Let's keep it a little quiet. Like, everything else is 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, 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? - Because the Hawks used Magic City Knight, which is the, - Oh, that's where they would go. - And this is similar. I guess Magic City Knight, is that similar to the Nate Raider at all or no? That's two different things. - It's along the lines. It's what we are 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, ah, with the theaters? And then also, secondarily, you know how many theaters you guys are opening up in? - I think 3000. - Oh, wow, really? - Yeah, I think so. I'm not positive. I think it's like that. I think it's 3000. But it's, you know, it's, dude, it's like meeting, we've met like, you know, AMC that had a regal, synomark, synoplex, 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, 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 can 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 'cause it was, that's just what it was. You know, like, what do you mean? Like, growing up was, you know, growing up, you just went to the movie theaters. You couldn't do, there was no stream. 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, 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. I hope someone steals it. Yeah, I'll even go to a city that has a lot of crime and drop my phone there a couple of times. - See what happens. - See what happens. - And I'll even make that sound like, - And be let down. - Yes. - And be like, oh. - You got to, I thought this city had crime and I was wrong. - I'll even do that when I drop it. - Point at it. - Yeah. - Yeah, dude. - Leave it way out of your pocket, back pocket. - Oh, when my phone goes off to, sometimes I used to wet the bed. and now it would be like an adult, which was the saddest part of it. But after that, there was times where I was like supposed to like get up in the morning or whatever and then I would urinate all of my phone and it was short out. And it would be like the best morning. - But yeah, especially after something so sad happening as an adult, but then you get that sad. - But then no, then your phone doesn't work and you're like, man, what a day. - Yeah. - I believe my phone's like on the road. But I'll have like an, you know, you have an Apple watch. - Even an Apple watch. - An Apple watch. - Like, you have an Apple watch and you can have an Apple watch just 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 get the air pods in or you can be like, "Hey, I got a call back." Or text message or whatever. That's the big thing you do with kids. At first, sometimes you give them an Apple watch before a phone, 'cause 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 would be lucky to get an Apple and watch what happens if you don't behave. That's how I'm starting. - Yeah. - That's a start. - Yeah. - 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 were well behaved. But all of our Anthony just did something. Can you bring that up? What he was trying to do with ticketing? - And congrats, man, on your movie. - We only got 500 theaters. I wish we'd gone bigger and I wish we'd gone to more rural theaters. I think we try to do like too much just city stuff. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But anyway. - But I mean like movies are, go back forward too. Like streaming is, I kind of think of streaming so it's like it's like blockbuster, in a sense. It's like where your stuff can go live and people can go watch that forever. - Right. - I mean, Burt's movie, you know, it's like he went to theaters and then he went crazy and destroyed it on Netflix. - Well, I think, and also, sorry to kind of made that about me there in our movie for a second. I wanna apologize about that. - I'll talk about your movie. - No, congratulations. So it's gonna be open in May 29th at this Friday. And it's in theaters, it's gonna be in 3,000 theaters, which means almost everywhere. - Yeah. - That's a lot of places. Yeah, that's wonderful, dude. It's exciting. Also just, there's a chance it's four theaters. If some reason it's not 3,000 idea. I think it's 3,000, but it would be funny 'cause we got 4,000 you mean? - No, I think 4,000 is the max. I think we're at three. I'm just saying, we go back and, you know, it's in a hundred theaters and they go, it could be that too. So I, 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. You know, I've started booking my own shows again. So in April, we did those Virginia's where I just rented the room outright and I sold my tickets through this West Virginia ticket company and it was sweet. It was like a bypass to the whole system. 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. - Okay, I got it. So he was trying, I guess some ticketing, I guess ticketing maybe through the exact venues. I think because that's a big thing for people. 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 Ticketmaster and Live Nation. It's just that have these conglomerates, you know? It's a lot. I mean, the Ticketmaster fees are crazy. They're crazy. Here's the like, you know, they're crazy. No, no, they're insane. 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 tour like the way you want to. If everybody wants to go see him, he's wonderful and all this. And it's, you know, it's a lot, it's a lot of work. Do you remember Louis and I still do it? He did it for a while. He did it a long time where you buy tickets through his website and stuff like that. There's many ways that you can go try to do it. And I looked at a hard part of this too is that some people are like, I'll just, let me go to Ticketmaster do it. I don't, you know, they, it's our step-up or whatever they're going to go do. And you're fighting that too. So it's not like, we all want to. I always thought of it like this. - You're right, I ever thought about that part of it. Some people are okay with it. - Sometimes you're like, dude, what do you want? Like, if I really look at it all, even though it's like, I believe in the thing that you're doing, 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 wants to be career-wise. It's like, you know, he want to be the most biggest star in the world. I don't feel like he loves where he's at. And I think he just loves having that relationship with the audience, with the people, which is amazing. And so it's like, you should do that. But then there's a mix, you're the thing, you know, it's, you remember doing like comedy clubs when you go try to do a rock, like for me, I would go try to do a rock venue 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's at. So they've never heard of this rock venue. They just know where the comedy club is. - Right, now you're doing that part. - And then now you're, yeah, 100 people show up under a bench somewhere. - Yeah. - Okay, yeah. - Oh, you just got word, it's 3300 theaters there. - So, yeah, I think so, but yeah. - They charge all this stuff. Take a master does all this stuff. They, 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 make it like, yeah. You know, and sometimes did you give stuff, you ever know, like I waited tables. And so I used to always think Applebee's right over here, Tom Sully. - Yeah, it's for me and my wife, man. - I pray for all those people over there. - You met your wife at Applebee's? - Applebee's Thompson Lane. So, not, I don't know where Thompson Lane is, but, you know. - Do you remember what day or what, what day it was? Or was it a holiday? - The day Daniel Boone was born around about, around about November 2nd. - Yeah, in the spring. - In the spring. - Yeah, yeah. - And you met her there and how'd 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. - Yeah, I've been a host my whole life. And so, but I was, yeah, a male host, you know. - Shout out to all the, I was easy. - I was easy, you know, when he came in, you know, he just, I was an easy like, hey, you know, wasn't aggressive. - Yeah. - Yeah, like, hey. - Yeah, hey, what do you want to do? - Where you want to go? You could talk me into where you want to sit. - Easily, huh? - Easily. Easily. - Can we sit over the window? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Right there. - 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 I was closed off and they had all the baby seats parked over there. That always made me nervous out thoughts on what happened to all the babies. - That's where they get, they're like, what's wrong with this restaurant? There you go. We've had some baby problems here. - Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. - Yeah, and that's where they, and where they upside down. - So far. - Yeah. - Sometimes they were, when I see that, I still think of that, and sometimes they'd be stacked on each other, something, you know? - Yeah. - The old wood baby seats? - They didn't have that anymore. - Dude, sometimes they would have a baby's head chiseled as a name in the wood. - Oh, yeah. - You know? - They came a lot. - Yeah, like Ricky Jr. something was real, and they were like, dang, how much you come here? Like when they see his family walk in, they already got it out. - Yeah, sometimes it'd be like a unhappy baby, it'd be like Brooks was here just chiseled in there. - Yeah, yeah, like oh, it's a lot. - But waiting tables, Mr. Back to My Theory, is, you know, 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. I didn't, you know, no charge for, and you thought, I thought like me, hooking you up would mean a higher tip, 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 we all, 'cause in my head, you're like, yo dude, I'm like, you know, I've took it 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 $3, $4 I just saved you, and then I'll get you, you know, I don't know, like some brand, you're doing these little things - For sure. - That, and you think they're gonna 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 remember how much stuff that was worth, and what do I do here. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Because 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 all of 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 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 they're super. 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 Dude the assistant manager let you freaking eat it right out of her hand Yeah, she's nice if she's feeling good that day. Yeah, you get a complimentary to bread sticks Yeah, but I wonder if they make you feel the guilty asking for yeah, like oh, let me see Let me see if we have a good old Charlie's back in the day when they you know Charlie has shells on the floor. No, no, Charlie's was a different restaurant But they had these great roles and I mean the roles were Charlie's has grit they have roles now they did something to them. They're not as good as they were Yeah, I think they had sugar in them before and so it was almost like a crispy cream donut But it was unbelievable when they'd get free rolls and you would set them down on the table and then everybody'd be like go ahead And bring another round and they even have five of them. Yeah, dude It was they were the best roles 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, yeah, because they I mean they were the best people were texting the plug or whatever Here's a solid copycat for a Charlie's original roles Warm whole milk a six a cup of sugar dry yeast a beat and egg butter purpose flour salt Yeah, maybe a little bit of sugar in it. Oh, dude, I'm sure they didn't have sugar Maybe I mean I don't remember all that so 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 though little sugar. Yeah, and if you're making anything for your family and I don't know sugar I do ain't good. They do pasta sauce. Oh, there's a six cup of sugar. That's it. Oh, yeah Yeah, sorry. I didn't hear that. No, no worries. Yeah. See you see what I mean, dude I think they got rid of that sugar and then they got into Yeah, very yeast heavy. They might have went yeast heavy. Remember wet yeast. Oh, that's the worst one It's real yeast. You just put in your mouth and it like just grows in your mouth or whatever Oh, yeah, like a pop rocks or whatever like pop rock bread or whatever Today's episode is brought to you by man scaped the men's grooming brand trusted by over 13 million men.

Yeah, yeah, great guy. I mean, let's just say he's great. He's great. He's great Did you also direct it? No, no air capel. Okay, he did air capel air capel. He did the Weird-all-yankovish movie And so it's a yeah, it's a great movie and then so he did that and then we had Jeremy Latchem was a producer and Sony tri-star it was a full-on like big You know, we did it in Atlanta trilleth, which is right outside of trilla trilleth trilleth So the owner of Chick-fil-A Dan Kathie. He owned that's where they used to shoot all the Marvel movies and so they have all these studios and then across 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 they were working on different projects Yeah, like whom did you say to your mind because it's a cool? You saw Jalil white Jalil white. No way. Yeah Yeah, and so he was he was shooting a game show you see a lot of what was he doing hoop interplaying 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. 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 I mean some people have houses there then you're rent them out to people that come in because When you were you know, and they're shooting these Marvel stuff I mean you have to have like you know Chris Pratt or Robert Andrew, you know, I mean you can go live not in that town too, but you can but like 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 you fricking, you know, Robert Downey junior Al Pacino's like checking his mail or whatever He's like yeah, yeah, that would be the weird part for me, dude. Yeah, Trilleth town for Marvel Studios in Georgia could be the future of cities And Duke, 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's so they did all they did a bunch of Marvel movies. I bet this is an old article because it's got it It's not I think stuff's coming back, but now Marvel's on London. Okay got it But it was 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 why But they did yeah, everything they did everything there you're too tired when you get home to think about grocery shopping with that's okay The delivery robot has just rolled up in front of your house with your weekly order and this is the Trilleth town The four-year-old residential portion of Trilleth was modeled after the building styles and village feel of European cities It's a new town for about 5,000 people created using the principles of new urbanism a concept that means an air bridge to be walkable and compact with very built With very building types and less emphasis on cars. Oh, it's pretty cool and each and they would have different streets would be like I think it says European and British style designs while other spots are more modern Focotte or other say Focotte's Focotte's Focotte's Focotte's Focotte's and They so you you could go shoot actually on that street. So if you had like Shoot a British style movie like you can shoot it on the go But you can do in the neighborhood and be like well these houses look like they're British and these look more modern and It's stuff like that. Wow, and you could buy you can rip it out and This is on perplexity I thank you perplexity 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 art 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 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 shoot a lot of stuff over there now. They want to shoot everything there. There there was that Rob Lowe 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 Then 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 it was like yeah We're not which just movie was like in Atlanta and I think we would have shot it in Canada or something, but I was fortunate able to be like well I'm not just wouldn't make a movie. I was like I'm not just too far away Well, it's a yeah, man touring and you when you're able to the the great thing for any young comedian if you can You just keep doing 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 Yeah, so you can be leather. It's like I we got to go make this movie in Canada because it's cheaper than it's like then I'll just Either try to make it on my own or I'll figure it out or find something else 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 a Nashville It's 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 is the you need the 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 the ones that make the movies, like you need them working on one, and another team is working on the second movie, and you're kind of able to flip flop - The second movie or a different season. - Like a different movie or whatever. No, I mean a different, a whole different movie. You gotta have multiple production crews. - Oh. - When at that, when they're height of that trilleth, 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 gotta have a lot of crew in town. - Right. - We do not have that, we don't have, we have crew here. We don't have enough to handle a high demand of movies. - Got it. - Like you know, you got, like they're doing that rescue 911, Nashville 911 or whatever it is. Here, well that's the, that's a great crew that's there, but if you have them doing that, you don't have the crew that's just sitting that you could also go shoot Batman here. So you need, but we just don't have the infrastructure. We don't have the, like, I think we can. - Right. - I think we can get it. I think it takes time and you gotta show that there's, - Oh yeah, you gotta take time. - You gotta show that you're really committed in doing it. - Right. - Yeah. - Things have to happen, there's needs to be tax incentives, all that type of stuff. - All of it. - But Atlanta has a ton of that. Even for the example of that neighborhood, it's like they have a neighborhood built where people can stay across the street that are 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, it still wasn't low enough, so then they still go out 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 whatever. And then you're like, well, then you gotta stop making movies. - 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 big studio. - Wow, I didn't realize all that man can graduate. I mean, that's fascinating, that's wild, dude. - Yeah, I think it was something like that. And Mandy Moore is also in it. She plays your wife, she plays a couple of children in it. - Yep. - Yep, the kids are great. Charlotte, Birdie, and Stella is the oldest that's Birdie. And then, but the kids are great. And it's a movie, 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. Take your mom, take your grandma. Like, you know, it's, 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 like a lot of horror movies. - It's a good point. - It's horror, it's a big, or it's like a Marvel movie or something, or it's animated. Like, there's no live action 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 has 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, I think we're at the top touring comedian last year, maybe I think, and I don't mean to get that wrong, you know? But, 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 the, it's, when, there's tons of kids at my show. They're not tons. It's, but there's kids at the show. - Right. - And you see 'em, but I watch 'em and I can tell, like, they're not, you know, they don't, like, a kid's not gonna lie. They don't get everything. - So they don't get it. - Yeah, they like some of the dumb silly jokes, but if I'm talking about, like, marriage and stuff like that, they're not gonna be laughing at that or what. But I know when they get in the car, they're gonna just talk about the whole night. 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, yeah. 'Cause it is, 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 in, you're just not cursing. You can get away with a lot more when you don't curse. Cursing is just kind of, like, that's just what I've found. But it's just, what do you mean by that? - 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 I think if you don't curse, it's-- - I need to hear this. - It's like, the cursing is what I think, like, it's just, that's what people hear that, either they check out, are they like, he's dirty or he's this or he's that. And so if you're control of it, just being control of it, maybe 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 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 with Gotham, I think the same year, right around. And when you did that on come essential, 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 agree. - Like some TV boundaries around you. - Yeah. - 'Cause then it makes you come at stuff in different angles. - Oh, yeah, I mean, I almost fantasize sometimes. I fantasize as part of the weirdest word, but 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, 'cause I don't want to curse you, but it's just where I don't, where I don't want to curse. - Yeah, yeah. - 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, vulgar, 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? - Yeah, but you're just from, from and stuff like that, I think, but 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, you know what I'm saying? 'Cause I work for myself and I'm a shitty employee. You know, I'm out back smoking and catching myself. I'll sneak around the corner of smoke and then run around the corner and be like, what are you doing out of here, you know? The deep friars, frickin' actin' up, you know, so. But 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 colleague. - Yeah, thanks. Like I don't think, you know. - In curse, do whatever you want. - Yeah. - Do whatever you want. - But it is a challenge. I agree, I love the fact that it's a challenge to yourself. - Is there a day, do you ever like say, one day I'm gonna put out, this is gonna be like a dark folder, I'm gonna put out of just the other side of things? Are you ever wanting to have like an only fans where you just say like bad, some bad words on it? - Uh, no. I just don't think I, I think I've just passed the point of where I would, you know. Look, I like whatever. - Was it always like that? - Yeah, I mean, we grew up, when I grew up, it was like cursing was, you know. My parents became Christian when I was born and I have a joke about it, they were the most Christian. And so like, you know, growing up here, Southern Baptist is very strict rules. Like it's, it's, 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. No one, no, I mean, cursing was looked at. And no one, in my family, my parents did not curse. So I wasn't around. - Yeah, it's awesome. - Like that. So I have a, not that I'm not perfect, but my strictness in it, in my act is just was like, I was just never gonna do it. - Got it. - And then when I started that way, it's like, yeah, it would be weird to go back. - And it doesn't feel like I'm ostracizing you for not doing it, it doesn't feel like that, does it? - No. - No, I think some people, I don't feel like you do. - But it doesn't feel like I'm ostracized. Like I'm, I'm envious of it. - No, no, no, no, no. And I think it just, it just like, yeah, it makes it so, 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, give me some, if my parents with their kids, like, I don't know if I can turn to those podcasts on because it's gonna have for fan any in it, or they might be talking about some stuff that's gonna be a bit obtuse for kids. - Well, I think about that sometimes with serious radio, where it's like, you, you know, are you getting into some stuff about sports? So you wanna listen to some sports stuff. And then it's like, someone gets their cursing and you're like, I'm just trying to like, you're the score of the game. UFC had like, you know, we're both giant UFC fans. And 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 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 to just hear some UFC stuff, can we have a channel where it's like, I just know you're not gonna go nuts. - Yeah. - Like, you know what I mean? 'Cause the only thing she's gonna look up to is if she hears a bad word, she'll look up and she's gonna look at you like that. What are you listening to this song? - And you're like, I know, I'm just trying to listen to. Like you just want it to be like local radio. - You're like, I'm just a Gachi fan. What do you, you know? Give me a chance here. - Yeah. - I'm a Colby. Look, Colby coming to, it's hard to keep him quiet. He's the good, just the way you could listen to him. I mean, I have nothing against Colby. I don't, ZFV says all the craziest things. - Oh, yeah. Well, a lot of those guys have to be their own adverts. When you think about some of those guys, it's interesting 'cause they just wanted to fight, but then they have to, some of them have to, probably feel a pressure to become this other thing 'cause you have to be their own PR company in a way. - Yeah, yeah, and it, look, I don't feel bad. It's not the fighters. It's like just you wish. - Of the commentators. Yeah, they do a good job, though, on UFC. Like, I don't, like, when Rogan and all of 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 'em. But that's another thing. That's the fighter, and they're in the moment. It's gonna be hard not to let loose, and some of that's part of what it is. But it's, I do think UFC does a great job with like, when it's Daniel Cormie and Rogan. Like, they do not curse. - With John Anac, there's three, are the greatest. - The greatest. - The group that's ever done it. And they also have them. They have Bisping, Paul Felder. Even when those guys aren't doing it. Poreas on there now. Chris Wideman, Cormie, I mean, yeah, but those guys are all so good. - Poreas have been great. - 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. - Yeah. - I gotta ask you about, I feel like such a frickin' reporter now, gotta ask. Dude, so tell me about Nate Land, it's real. - It's real. - The theme park is real. - Yeah, okay, yeah. Where are we at with it? Like, what's going on? - We're about to get into some investing. - Okay. - So we're about to start that kind of process. We have the land, are we basically think we, we know where we want the land to be. We have not, like, we haven't said anything. We're about the land and are where it's at or anything. Yeah, but we've narrowed it down to basically this one spot. And then so it's, but yeah, I mean, we have the renderings, they're working on it every day. We have Story Land. Story Land is a group that, Story Land is a group. They did, they've done stuff with everything. I think they had some stuff to do with Epic. It's a lot of the guys that worked with Disney for a long time and they started their own kind of company and they did all the Disney's in Dubai. - So Story Land 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 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, Sam? - It's, it's gonna be so like, it says Nail Land in front. Like, so that front area right past the Nate Land is gonna 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're, we are having in there. But you could have some stuff like that, restaurants, stuff like that, that's open all year round. You have three sections of the park, you have a section to the left, which is-- - You have roller coasters? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, it's crazy to do that. I just went to, I was in Hershey, Pennsylvania. - You went to the, uh, Hershey Park. - Candywood? - No, Hershey Park. - Dolleywood? - Not thinking of Candywood. - I think I know Candywood too. - Candywoods in Pittsburgh. - Oh, no, we didn't go there. We went to Hershey Park. How was that? It's awesome. And so we rode some roller coasters, which were, it was kind of roller coasters shopping, which was crazy. - 'Cause you're like, well, you would just ride, well, they know they had a few that you're like, I rolled back the miles on this. - Yeah, you go, no, thank you. But it was weird to be riding a roller coaster being like, yeah, that was, they go out, that one felt great. And then you're like, you know, you kind of like, yeah, let's do that one. - Dude, that's what, and who did you go with was it just a family trip? - No, no, I was on the road. I was there. I did shows there. And so we had one guy from Story Land who came up and he kind of just walked me through and said, 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 kind of ride 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 getting, you know, being like, all right, what's this one kind of feel like? What's this one do? And how much is a coaster decent coaster? - I found out, like, there was one, there was one 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 kind of newer, very, very good coaster they have. We were getting, some of them just trying to guess there 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 to whirl kind of, but it was like kind of moved around. - You tried that out too? - Yeah, yeah, we rode that, just seen 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 go and lay away. - You could just have that. - Lay, lay, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away. - Dang, I bet Kid Rock could get that thing as frickin' dude, but he probably. - But it's like, yes, so you start going through and keep rooming it. And this thing, Park, I mean, he would ruin the kid. - Sorry, how does that say that to you? - He put it on the whiter. - There's so many clips of me just roasting him. Even though we're friends, I freaking love roasting him. Oh, you ate ruined 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, you know what you could go, like if Kid Rock goes, I'm spending $850 for this. And then he goes, does the 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 limit month. Oh, if I had a brother missing something, I'd limit his low ass up in a heartbeat, but that's me. 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 budget in, like, I mean, you know, we're looking, it's like, roughly gonna be like, $350 million, and then, yeah. - And will the land be at least, or will it be owning the land? - Yeah, 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 us obviously, there's like, the minutiae, you wouldn't be involved in, but yeah, how hands on with you are all that. - I'm picking the land, I mean, it's crazy, 'cause you're, I'll be in this, in these meetings, and I forget, again, we're talking about like being in charge, I forget, like, story land, like, all this stuff, and 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, 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 there to come there. Someone like me that wasn't able to go, that couldn't get into college, and like, so I don't, you don't know what, you know, my, I just was like, I'm a comedian, but 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 in green water meters? - Yeah, I read them down to you. - 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, 'cause 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 their thing and type in how much water. - And they have snakes, and they're sometimes? - Oh, yeah. - I remember one was laid right on top of the water meter, and you got to get it. - And it makes my body nervous. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Spiders, and you never knew, every time you opened up, you ever find anything cool in there, those some of the stash of the bagelabega, something. - No, I don't think I ever found anything like that, no. - Really? Nobody had a head, nothing a little spare lunch. - No, I don't think people-- - I don't think people-- - Second little second Christmas on them at the time. - It would be a good place to put something, 'cause we think about that, it's so accessible. - 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, it's, you know, I mean, I guess a newer house, like, you know, one, I think it just hasn't been through it. Yes. - Yeah. - But, yeah. But I do remember this snake. Snake was just curled right on top of it, and I had to get it off, 'cause I have to lift the thing to read it. - Gosh. Yeah, I sold Italian food door to door for a while with this fella, dude, and that was a dang pizza or just all Italians, huh? - No, we had bread rolls, we had Italian. It was like this thing called Italian caviar or whatever, but it was really just like, raviolis. - Yeah, yeah. - And then, what else? - Yeah. - Like, pasta's, bolognese. - Yeah. - They had, or raviata, what else? Uh, I think that vodka sauce pizza or something. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I don't know, but we just had like this. - I have different pizzas too. - Would you do different pizzas? - Pizza. - You worked at Ampezza, dude. The redoing, you saw that, they're coming back. - Oh yeah, yeah, you know what, 'cause experiences. - Oh. - That's a big thing, that's a big reason. It's stuff for people to do, 'cause they, we had that, you remember they used to have a buffet, pizza buff, pizza, it was great. - Where would your mom fight? It's when your parents had a real something serious on the floor of the marriage, you 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, hope they didn't notice. - With those big red cups. - Hope they didn't notice. - 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 its particular type of ice in there too, I think. - Yes, a little bit. - Like a little shaved sonic. - Yeah, it was something different. - I think having a unique ice, it's little things like that that can add a lot of texture to a place. A little bit more about Nate Land, 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 they're 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? - Oh, it's just my money. - So you're the only money in right now. - So right now this doesn't go anywhere. I would be in big trouble. - No, I mean, I would be touring for the rest of it. But it's like, right now it's just me. What made you make that choice? Is it 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 this hiding. I'll go over there. - Thank you. We loved it. My first job was a theme park. I worked at Opera Land here in Nashville. And I was 15. And so I don't know, 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'm not saying from that day I was like, I'm gonna build a theme park. But then as I got. - Why did they close it, you know? - They got a mall, there's a mall there now. Opera Mills mall. And I don't usually be Opera Land a theme park? - Yeah. - Right there? - Yeah, I didn't even know that. I didn'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 the internet to be honest. I think that it was like, maybe it was just easier to have a mall than it would be a theme park for whatever reason. - Got it. Opera Land USA closed in 1997 because its parent company, Gaylord Entertainment, wanted to transition, sorry. Crazy name. Gaylord, 'cause it lowered, I think it's straight. Wanted to transition the seasonal theme park into a highly profitable year-round retail and entertainment complex, understandable. - Yeah. - So that was the wallbash canable. The one that goes up so now, I think it was a little. - Oh, that was it? You remember the name of that one? - I know, what's that one? - What's that one? - Wallbash canable. - The wallbash canable? - Yeah. - Dang, so you were there, Nate. - Yeah, the screaming delta demon. - Oh, yeah, I met her before. - I met her, dang it, I did. She goes to Mississippi State for sure. - Sure. - I think she just did 50 days of booze and not there. - And Knoxville for sure. - Dude, oh my God, you were in the trenches there at Opryline. - Yeah, 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, you know, when you started, I started doing all these arenas and all these, my big day dreaming goal when I was starting comedy was the headline Bridgestone. And so when I did it for the first time, I remember that night, I really was like, I mean, I remember it was that night, I was like, what am I supposed to do now? 'Cause I just thought about that for 20 years. And then, which is crazy, it was 20 years, pretty much, I think exactly for me to get there, to headline Bridgestone. And congratulations on that, dude. And we sold 19,365 tickets, which is 20 years. Isn't that crazy? - If you're into, I don't know, I'm not even into numbers. - You sold 19,365 tickets. - So 19 years, plus 365. - Just 20 years, 20 years. - And, but, 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 gotta have something else. It can't be, you know, you gotta, I gotta assume that if I keep becoming great comic, arenas will come, I'll be able to do Matter 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, and I thought it can't be about me. This life cannot be about me. All right, I'm gonna go crazy. - Right. - And so, from that moment when I started, when I was like, I'm gonna 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 Breadwinner, and then, you know, I thought about the theme park and thought like, you know what, I wanna build a place where, you know, maybe all my ideas can go live. This theme park's not gonna be about me. It's about the state of Tennessee, but, all right, it's about, you know, it's called Nate Land and there's gonna be Easter eggish stuff, but people think it's gonna be a, like a shrine to me, it's not. It's, you know, it's gonna represent Nashville and all this stuff. It's like, you just gotta have someone that has the vision to be able to wanna go do it. Did you guys have choices for different names is Nate Land because it's the production company. So you just named it the same thing. - It's just always been, yeah, Nate Land is a, and I get it, look, I mean, you worked at a theme park. You came up with it. It's like, I certainly get these. - I think that's the, it's the trust. The reason, the reason it's named it for me is the trust. If you get, if I can keep trust with my audience, with this audience that we do, and that's the biggest thing. So they can trust that they know that they can see when I'm doing, then it's like, you kinda need to know who's making, who's behind this. - I see, so you're putting yourself-- - I put in my, I will sell the tickets. - Got it. - The responsibility of that park thriving is on me. I need to sell the 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 what I feel has been bestowed upon me. That's what I'm just doing when I feel I'm being asked to do. - Called to do. - Did you pray about it kind of too? Like if you had a, 'cause some of these are big choices. Not that you need to. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of it is, I mean, a lot of it is. You feel very much like, you know, doors and stuff and your ideas and stuff that you think of or start-- - Oh, it's not even yours, it's like a higher power. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Very much, 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 kinda head in. Where 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 kinda follow the lead. And as we did, "Nate Land," and then it was just kind of like-- - I'm excited, you got me excited now. 'Cause you hear little things, 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 "Nate Land," 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 Applebee's or whatever. You don't know who Roger Applebee is anymore, you know? Or whatever, if you go to like Tim Hortons, you don't even-- - 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 too, bass? - No, Ernest frickin' uh. - Oh, the singer? - Yeah, Ernest is the singer, dude. For Logan's Roadhouse, he's kinda like John Daly is for Hooters. - Oh yeah, I think he lives in the back of one of them. Bless him brother, bless Ernest. He has a new album coming out too. I gotta get him and Willie Roberts in here so I'm gonna sit and chop it up. Those guys are funny. But no, dude, I just understand it more. Now take me on some of these rides, 'cause I know you've already thought about some of the rides. - Wait, first of all, hold on. Is there gonna be a water for-- You're not doing the water thing, huh? - Water part? - No. - No. - Because also people get a lot of-- - Do you know what I can't say, yes. - People get electrocuted. - If you don't have water parks? - Yeah, really. - Well, I mean, they're not gonna, if you get electrocuted, this is kinda crazy. - 'Cause it rains. - Yeah, yeah. - Well if it rains, it's more water, but if you get electrocuted, do you have to have water to get electrocuted? No, I've been electrocuted. I got electrocuted up on a food truck. That was someone's seafood, the illegal seafood. - You know what I'm talking about, sorry. - Well, you've been in Portland, you know Portland, but I thought of this, are like said, like food trucks, right? Like people make fun of like, 'cause I go to McDonald's and all that stuff, then people go to food truck and they're like, they're raven about this food truck. You're like, this guy has food in this Honda Civic all night. Do you got a trust that he took at home? - Yeah, dude. - And you go, who were you to tell me that mine's at least in a building, and frozen? - I'm always like that. - Yeah, like they would call especially people from the South like red necks. He was like, but dude, this guy, yeah, you know, close that issue is 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 and a food truck. And you're, you know, and it's like, oh, that's okay. And you're like, McDonald's safe from that. Yeah, dude, I don't want a case idea that just, that got here at 80 miles an hour. - Yeah, you know, that's got tire marks on it, 'cause he got to fight that one of his wife, and he ran out and, but he had the plastic over him, so he's like, it doesn't matter. - Like. But that changes everything if you put plastic over something it changes everything a little saran wrap yeah, he's like oh dang it's like three days old you put some saran wrap over who knows like he just put it together kids back there it's like we get an uber and there's a car seat and you're like I don't 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 admit it wouldn't I had a show at the same time too you did um 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 yeah Chelsea handler came out and said that she has some problem with some of Shane and Tony's jokes maybe yeah um I don't think with the roast I think was Shane and Tony yeah yeah yeah he had a problem with them could call she kind of said the yeah yeah it was like I don't know about all the jokes mainly Shane and Tony do you 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 just sign enough for it I mean it's like like I know you know it's like one of those like where are you gonna say the line is uh the roast of just they've just I believe we've 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 uh you know and but I mean not saying that they did they did what they were asked to do right I thought they a lot of them did a great job you know it was very happy for Big J Morrison killed it yes uh yeah Big J I was very happy uh you know I've been with Big J we started with him like uh so Jay crushed it and nine Lynn I thought crushed it and I like nine Lynn but those are those people have a connection with Kevin Hart yeah and so they there's there's there you can see that the love is there 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 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 mean some of the feeling you're right do some of the feeling 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 within 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 yes some of it it's like does some of this really make me feel good or does like yeah I think I thought Kevin Hart did great handling a lot of it too because it was like it wasn't you know he you know kept saying like this is what you signed up for and he kept the messaging was good from him afterwards like because I mean it was like such a tough crazy it's crazy but it's like I mean you know you what you I think if you do roast if you go look up it back at the old roast the stuff these guys the the people that were up there were really are you as far as I knew but they really knew each other um or they were really friends are 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 show under what it 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 she handled it well she handled it very well and like 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's something that I thought a boss who is up there you know because I like sitting where you at it and thinking the jokes no I wasn't at it I don't want to go like I don't want them catching my face if I see something or if my feelings get hurt or something I got enough of that shit out there so I don't need any of that but yeah it was just interesting take out yeah you just get more calls and texts to do yeah they just show your face they get to jump off a building yeah he's not doing well every week it's like somebody fight out he 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 they's not doing well now that you're doing great yeah I think sometimes people worry about you but that's a lot of love showing your way that people worry about yeah but sometimes there'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 yeah and I think my podcast has always just been like a place like well I just kind of share what's going on right like that 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 a 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 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 but then here's a crazy part the more you say shit like didn't become this thing so the whole thing is kind of crazy yeah you know do a podcast from the top of a building and just go I'm fine maybe a great idea you know my buddy Julian McCola actually he's really playing into it I like that idea you know I don't and look we keep moving the desk closer over to the edge and they they goes he all right he goes I'm fine yeah you just search good my my Julian McCola you know Julian he is a very funny joke like when he gambles like when he loses he goes hey do y'all got a bathroom on top of the roof so he always tells the the dealer which is such a funny thing to say after he loses a big hand hey excuse me y'all got a bathroom on top of the roof well we're definitely living it seems like in the sixth circle of hell these days you know we're getting these things have gotten a little you know things are getting a little interesting yeah we oh we got to talk about the rides dude so what first of all what I don't know if I'm gonna tell you anything about the rides for the rides at that's at nightland yeah but do you know the governor that's gonna 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 let me run one of them I'll let you run one of I will let me run one I know just for an evening just do day of night I do a day of 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 everything it doesn't work yeah you yeah now I'm saying you sit in it and you leave yours up and they go he's not fine yeah that's the thing we are we just always playing to that there you go feels crazy because I don't need it are you just hold it can you see if you can go do it I'll let you do it roller coaster I don't I just uh yeah just uh let me DJ one night or something oh yeah or what a good rise I'm trying to think for like even for young like I wish that a ride that helped you like the list fix or whatever oh like you're very spinner just something like it just spun you so much you need the list just flew right out counterclockwise yeah spinner counterclockwise yeah time after time remember that song yeah you could rush you could buy you could still find me was that a list that is song about list I don't know who sang that but I just think if they had a or the under bite fixer whatever I'm trying to think of a good like a ride that would like you know under bite fixer 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 and you just know when you go in with an under bite 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 gonna get you and you know he's gonna get you but he's gonna get you so good that you're never gonna see it coming and we fix that under bite I like that yeah no charge I like that idea or yeah if they had like the GLP one those in big ride yes yeah and when you get off and it may he spends you so fast that you get a little leaner because of how it does your body or like when you take a shirt or a towel and you put it in the washer and you do the spin cycle yeah and it comes out it almost stand up itself it's got so much centrifugal in it yeah well you do that way get your mama so spun around you down you know what I'm saying she'll fit into a size one and a half yeah yeah yeah yeah she'll fit into her dang baby at least an hour yeah maybe it's I don't think it's gonna be forever no it's not but it's at least an hour yeah it's a 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 yeah I got to be in nightland at one p.m. and then I got to be some of that food that you ate were you full of expanding your mouth that's what's gonna happen to your body you know wedding dress but you come in now we have once the band starts though honey that's here we're not responsible for that yeah you get I mean yeah one you could fit into your six grade graduation pants if you have for one for one hour yeah I like that that's a good run and that ride does that to you yeah you know or something that would just do a bunch of women's hair I could see that in the south you know they put this on you like this the cover to cover your body like to hold you in yeah but then they put that head thing on you the oh yeah you know and then they get out and everybody's be having walking out of there looking like March 6 and in her two sisters yeah that's a good ride dude I'm telling you I can help you I would love it yeah I would really it doesn't seem like that right now no no I think we have I think we're gonna have a a part where you're going to fit right in. - Yeah, let me run that crocodile tank. - Yeah. - It's gonna be a swamp, like a swamp pond. - I'm just sitting there petting a crocodile. And we took all his scales down, we shaped, we like used a wood thing to take his scales down low and you can pet him. - Oh, no. - De-sharpened him. - Yeah. - Good idea. - Look at what about the mouth, you're like mouth is gut. We got the mouth, we forgot about that. - He goes, you know, expensive it was to do the top part. And that's when the guy undercuts him, the crocodile. And you go, God, that guy was worth it. (laughing) - It's like a butterbeam. - Remember butterbeam? - Yeah, I remember butterbeam walking around just. - I saw him at Hulk Hogan's funeral actually. - Oh really? - Yeah. - You went to Hulk Hogan's funeral? - Did you know Hulk Hogan? - I didn't know Hulk Hogan. - That's pretty great. - Not great, I'm not gonna pretend I knew him great. - Yeah. - But I knew him enough, we would communicate and got to podcast with him and got to go down there and see him one time down in his bar in restaurants, a fan of his son, Nick. Eric, David Scott Esh, better known by his name Butterbeam. - Was there some just, I mean, everybody at his funeral, look, there's some big guys there. - Oh, dude. - I've told, like, you know, mankind was there, I think? - Yeah, yeah. - Woman kind was there too, I think. - Was undertaker there? - I hadn't seen her in a while, but she, who? - Woman kind, I think whoever that is. - Yeah. - Jack saw Jim Duggan was there. - Undertaker? - Undertaker was not there that I didn't see. Vince McMahon was there. - Yeah. - Well, you have a band like the Chuck E. Cheese band or anything like that at Nate Land, do you think? - I think that's all, that's open for discussion. - Yeah. - That's definitely open. - And you gotta have a cool Nate. Oh, Nate inch nails would be good. - Oh, yeah. (laughing) - Yeah, you loud, that's pretty good. - That's crazy, yeah. It's a kid music. - But it's all-- - That's rock. - Yes, it's a rock rock. - That you're doing kid music, you know? - Yeah, yeah. - I like that. - Thanks. - Yeah. - I'm trying to think of any other one, Nate Vanna maybe. - It sounds good. - Nate inch nails might be it. - They might be it. - Nate go back. - This is how you room out. - I like that. - Okay. - We have a new segment that we're doing eight. It's by, it's our Mountain Dew Summer segment. So, thank you for being here real quick. - Yeah, thank you, buddy. - Thank you for being here. - And congratulations, dude, on your movie. - Yeah. - And congratulations on your goals to make an amazing theme park in an amazing city. - Thank you. - I wanna say awesome, man. - Yeah. - It's cool. - It's really inspiring. - Thank you, dude. - And I mean that. - Thank you, man. - You may have noticed that we have Mountain Dews here. And so, they're working with us over the summer and we're working with them. And we just have a couple of questions. You're hosting a barbecue, right? And these are for you and me. - Okay. - 'Cause I hadn't seen these. You're hosting a barbecue. What do you say if you burn someone's meat? - I mean, just like apologize to them, but sorry. Yeah, I'll make you another one. Are you saying I'm gonna all eat that one? And you're taking it, yeah. - Yeah. - That's what you do. You're all eat that one. - I'll handle it. - Yeah, don't worry about it. - Yeah. - And then they'll be, yeah. - I get to my mom who eats everything burnt. - She does? - Love's everything burnt. - Oh, yeah. - There's an old, I think if you're born in the '50s, you're extra well done all day long. - Yeah. - Not even a, not even a. If you see someone walking in their 70, go ahead and start burning that steak. - Yeah, I agree. - It's not, they're not doing medium rare. They're not doing medium. The medium wells burn it. - Yeah. - They're using also prefabricated teeth, a lot of 'em, so they got some chocolate. - They got the ability to get through that. - They got the, yeah. They're just shaking it, like a dog. They want, yeah, there's a certain age. And they, they well, well done. - I agree. That's what I say, just, or say, who likes that dark meat? That's another way to get through to 'em. Do you remember drinking from a two-liter bottle of soda? Do you ever remember that, like as a kid? Like, I remember turning it off. And you could see, this is the first time my life I could drink and see the soda going down as I drank it. - Yeah, I do. We would buy a lot. I don't, people, I don't think cans were, I think two-liter soda bottles weigh more in when I was younger. Two liters and cups. - Yes. - And now it's like, I guess, environment's cans, but, and I remember one time, they came out with the white mouth. - Oh, yeah. - Two-liter. You remember that? - Yeah, and you could pour it. - You could pour faster. - Yeah. - It was like, how much can we even have at once? - Yeah, there's a ton. - Ugh. - Oh yeah, it was great. - Those were the days. - Oh, those were the days, yeah, that one. - I usually drink a diet and I do. I mean, I would drink it every day. - Really, and what were you training for? Just, I mean, just to be an American, huh? - I think just keeping my body where I can, whatever I put in it, it's gonna be able to handle it. I love that. You know what I mean? - Oh, yeah. We'll also, I mean, you'll get some. - I drink that, I could drink it in the morning. - You drink die-mouthing in the morning? - Yeah, I can, yeah. Dad or I'll drink a diet, something in the morning. - Oh, I'll say I'll show him. - Yeah, I'll show him who's boss right off the gate. - Right off the gate, dude. - I think if I had to give up soda, I think a breakfast soda would be my hardest to give up. - Oh, yeah. - Oh, hey, and shout out to anybody drinking breakfast soda. - Yeah. - Alan Collins Quinn. He drinks it. - He drinks diet, go get more into it. - Yeah. - Oh, he's a breakfast soda drinker. Dude, did you know, did you know Mountain Dew started in Tennessee? - I think so, but I don't know, you know. I think I do that. - Not sure. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Smokey Mountains. - Roger, you put it. - Oh. - I love that old logo. - Oh, yeah, let me see that logo. - Mountain Dew, I never saw that. That throwback, that's beautiful. - All right, last one. I feel like diet do is real big in the trade to world. You'll see a lot of times, electricians, comedians, right? - Yes. - You said yourself, you were a morning drinker. Plumber's road kill guys, right? If you look in the back of the truck, you see 11 of those empty diet do bottles or whatever. They're quietly like the backbone of America, these diet do drinkers. It's the summer you're driving with your windows down and there's a breeze and it only smells a little bit like maybe a land full of your passing by. Just, and it just, it's summertime, right? The windows are down. What song or band are you turning on the radio? - A drink and diet, Mountain Dew. - Yeah, you can be if you want. I'll have one with you. - Yeah. - You know maybe some country. - A Tobakeef. - Oh yeah. - You know? - Yeah, I know. (murmuring) - You know, talking about that song? - Yeah. - Yeah, I agree, man. I'll enjoy that with you. - Yeah. - That'd be a nice drive. - All right, thank you so much, dude. I think it's been good. I love learning about Nate Landman. 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, 'cause 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, choral life crisis. You'll see like a fifth grader going through like a fifth grader or life crisis they have now on TikTok or whatever. - 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. - You went to that? - Yeah, I went to that. Did you, 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 let out? - Yeah. - God, that day, 'cause you'd look so forward to it, but then you had not, there was nothing to do. - Yeah. - You would lay there all summer in this jungle in the middle of your living room and wait for your mom to get home even though you couldn't, you couldn't wait for her to leave or you couldn't wait for her to get home. - Yeah. - Yeah. - God. - That's it, there's my daughter's first start of summer. But anyway. - What do y'all have planned for the summer together? Do y'all, there's just some things you guys are gonna do? - I don't know. She like, she rides horse, she loves horse riding and all this, so 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 outta, we have, she goes to this stable that's run by this great, this 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. - 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? - I've not done enough to get better at it's a lot, I mean, it's a lot, get on horses a lot. I mean, you know, but she does it. She, you know, to tack a horse and put 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. - Yeah. - Yeah, well I asked 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 like, the idea, the hard part is. - Oh, I was saying thank you so much for just for explaining to me what it was like, like what some of the. - Yes, and then I'm worried about doing it. - Yeah, and then you're worried about doing it 'cause yeah, I was saying you get to certain points of your career where you're like, well, now what? Like I just got done with 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 before I go out there. like early because I've been on TV already, but it's like, I didn't have any comedy. But so it's been, this is like the first time in my life is like the second week of it. And it's like, yeah, I don't know what to do kind of. And it's kind of like interesting. And my first thought is, just go back out on tour, like figure out and go back out. And maybe that is what it would 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, any of your life, right? Or you're like, well, now what do I do? And then what happened with this where you're like, okay, this is like a feasible real thing that I can take on. And maybe already answered that for me, sorry. - No, well, I would say, you know, 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 it like, you know, if you call it Nate Lane, you're like, why are you calling it, you get a call after me? You get all this kind of stuff like that. And I think that's the hardest part is just kind of sitting way through those kind of things and not that you, because it is crazy. But 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 get 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? Like, what if I do it? Like, that's crazy. You know, I don't come from any world where I should be building a theme park. Yeah. I come from Old Hickory. 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 no way that I should even had the success that I should have had. So then you gotta go to where you start going like, well then I'll just start. I'll just keep going until someone says, no. Until they, you know, Michael and Dale had the mopela. Yeah. And you want to saw that probably out of them. I'll sell that. Yeah. You wouldn't have saw it out of them probably. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Or people have all kinds of people. No, but yeah, that's what I think when you have these ideas and you want to go do some, it's like just, it's like, you gotta just go do it, dude. And the hardest thing is you gotta sometimes, you know, it's gonna 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? Those are the ones that kind of come and they, you know, they don't understand. And some of that is, 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 we're 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, they can, like, you're moving forward. And I think they just, like, go, why? Why are you doing that? Yeah, do, well, I mean, 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, I'm just, the name of the property and I had like, oh, why would he choose that? What's going on, right? But I choose it because I, again, like, well, now I get it trusted. Oh, do after talking to you, like, I get exactly where it is, you know? Yeah. 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, 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, I'm just talking like, it's interesting, man. But then, like, you say, nothing happens unless somebody does it. No one wants to 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 the dude. But you go see these guys, like, people are stuck where they see stuff get built and people have these ideas and they think we can't do it again. You're like, why can't you do it again? 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. I've already done all the 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, this may be back off for this or that or whatever. And so I very much believe in, you know, what I'm doing and what I'm supposed to be doing and it's, 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 this for I'm just doing it. Somebody's got to do it. Someone's got to do it. Sometimes 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? He'll be the same with making a movie. It's similar to anything. It's like, what, maybe, you know? You always think anybody that says no, you're like, what does it matter? What does it matter if I, who cares? Yeah, what is it? 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 just don't know. Yeah, 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 try. Yeah. You got to think with two 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. Like if you start, that's what 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 the most purest art form. So if you can get to a high level of just. Oh, movie scary. Trade straight up that. Well, movie scary because you don't know if it's how it's going to be until the day of, yeah. And that's very nerve-wracking. And I'll say this, dude, we made some mistakes for sure. I'd never watch the movie with an audience until I sat in there and watched it at the premiere. Yeah. And that was bizarre, dude, 'cause you're almost like, I'd watched it on my computer a bunch. I don't like what 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 or whatever, 'cause you're like, I should, this is something you watch by yourself. And suddenly, I realized as it starts, I'm like, whoa, whoa. I've watched this already. This is something I was supposed to watch by myself. I don't think this is for masculine consumption. So that was so frickin' harrowing, dude. That we did it from here. It is very weird to watch yourself. And you're like, ah, I should've done that. Or I should've done the, you know. Yeah, just, yeah, I mean, yeah. But to just do it, 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 be like, yeah, when a movie, you're like, you just feel like, you feel like everybody else is like a real actor. And you're like, yeah, I don't know what I'm doing. Yeah, it's crazy. Oh, the immense feeling of, I don't know what I'm doing. Yeah, you know. But, well, dude, for somebody that doesn't know what they're doing, then you're doing a really great job of it. And thank you, bro. And, oh, and will the theme park, will the rise be for all ages? Or is the rise even just for, like, little children? No, no, it's a full, we're have fun big rides, kid part, like every, it's, like a regular theme park. Yeah. So it's going to be in, you know, shows and stuff like that. It'll be, it'll be the, the real deal. I love it. So it'll be, yeah, everybody, everybody come out. Amen.
