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 Bread Winner. That's Friday, May 29th, you can go check it out. He's building in a amusement park, like a real one for a amusement. Right here in Nashville, Tennessee, I'm thankful to spend time with today's guest, Mr.

Nate Bargette. Get that ass off some guys, talking about when you would sleep over at somebody's house. You remember that? And you woke up before them. Yeah.

“And just like, could you kind of have to pretend you were asleep?”

Like you were ready to get up and go. But it wasn't your world of their universe. Yeah. I would think 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. And like Ben Stiller comes downstairs and everybody's been up for a couple of hours. Because I relate to that.

I think even as a comedian, you know, it's like we can stay up late and whatever.

You're always the guy wandering into the world of late.

Yes. And I mean, people are like, I mean, people outside comedy. They have like a meeting at like 6.30 or 7. Like a meeting in the morning. In the morning? Yes.

And you're like, what? Yeah. Yeah. 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, 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. The sun shows up early. Yeah.

And he's like, I've been here and you go. No, I kind of saw you.

I just was like, give me a second.

Yeah. Just let me get my bearings a little bit. Yeah, 7.30 meetings. They say they have those. I think I want, I would want to be that though.

Oh, so that's something like it gets a little bit aspirational. Yeah, I do. I've been, and I hate to say it because I'm going to hear myself say this. Yeah. I think, oh God, it hurts even coming out of my neck.

Um, I think I'm a, I think I'm a morning person. You know, I could, and you know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm sorry to say that. Well, I think it's, you know, it's, uh, I don't want to apologize to people who can't even handle here in that.

Yeah, because they want you to be at night person. What's the 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 need to shot a movie,”

there's like structure, right? Yeah, right when it's a movie. The bread, bread is the movie. Yeah. But like when you shot your movie, uh, it's, you got to be on set at this time.

And this, this is, and I loved it, because I don't think we have structure as comedians. 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 spikes at volleyball? What was it?

Now, I remember that TV show or that, that network spike, I think it was like spike TV.

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

“like 2008, 2008, 2008. Yeah, I do remember that.”

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was like a dude's channel. What were some of their top shows? Look up top three shows on Spike TV. The, they, the game show or video game awards, I want to say. Oh, ultimate fighter started on there, the reality show launch the UFC and modern MMA into the mainstream

in a blue mountain state. What's that? Blue mountain state. That was, uh, that was a show with the reach, uh, I know it was a real name. Jack Rage, I look like Jack Rage right now in this is what he would wear. He, I look like Jack Rage around me. I, yeah, I don't know what, and my body doesn't, but this is he wear shirt like this. All Richardson. I know how, like, oh, dude, yeah,

somebody always talks to me about him. Yeah. So he would start out in blue mountain state,

which is on Spike TV. Wow. And then, um, yeah, Spike TV was like a, uh, a little bit ahead of his time. Like, it's, it's almost a channel that for 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 thought 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 a

plan. Yeah, you can see. I mean, because it's going to be a spider bite. It's going to be you step on a nail and an artery. I don't know if you're, I don't know 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, anyways. There's a lot of ways. Bar rescue. Okay, Spike TV. Anyway, go on. Sorry,

interrupt to you. But I just forgot about Spike TV. Yeah, you know, it was, it was a great, it was a good channel, especially like a hidden age, a denim demographic. You know, this is on dude, on tour. I was just, I was just talking about on tour. On tour, I was on here in this time. Like, so it was, oh, on television, not the same thing. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I didn't know that Alan Richen even just to think that that's like that blue mountain state was there that the UFC kind of like

sort of became mainstream by going on a Spike TV and getting like I bought that way. He was like, we're, we're, we're taking whatever you got. I didn't understand that. Look up once more. Like TV was this mountain duke in. It was everything it represents. Oh, yeah. Merchist American, American duke was Spike TV. Yeah. If that was a waste. That's right. You can see his shotgun and

“yeah. Blue mountain state. Yeah, it was all of it. Yeah. Yeah. What were you, what were we talking about?”

So we're talking about Spike TV. You see, you went in a Spike TV. The, like, having structure of the movie. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like, I do, I'm not a person that has any structure. Oh, yeah. And comedians aren't in general. So when you're on set, you were saying, like, yeah, you get this 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 told why to myself, but that to be like,

they would set the call time 45 minutes really was later, because they knew I was going to be a little bit, 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 did 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 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. It's just you. Yeah. Yeah. I realize that I work for myself, and I'm not the best employee I realize. I could, 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're working,”

I should get structure. I have no structure. Yeah. Athletes have structure. They have like, yeah, you know, teens. Yeah. Yeah. There's no, like, comedy. It's not like a bell that goes off early in the morning, or 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 fantasies just to have a routine. Oh, to adhere to an alarm clock. That's, oh, yeah. That's a fantasy of mine. Yeah. Yeah. You're not a lot of alarm quiet. You know, you don't set alarm clocks because it just doesn't do. I would set my alarm clock and then hide my phone

and I would never even hear it because it's quiet because it's under the mattress. Yeah. It's quiet.

It didn't stay in a chance. So I want his structure, but I was just not only net here 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 dumps.

“There's like I was hiding from myself. Yeah. What are what you even doing? Yeah. I think you want someone”

to be in charge. Yes. I didn't know, you know, fortunately it's you every time. It's you. You had an old show. What? I didn't know joke where I said, uh, 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 a sign fail to 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 had this

giant audience and you quit, then you feel like you got to, 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, you got it. What do you do? Make a video and then everybody's like, why are you quit? And you're like, now you're quitting to millions of people. Yeah. And you're like, not just wanted to kind of slowly

fade. Yeah. Daniel, they Lewis always think is an act. Like you don't know anything about that,

like, you know, he comes out for, you know, just to basically win an Oscar and then he goes back, goes back to whatever he does and that guy, I don't know what he does. Yeah. I don't know what he does either. And Daniel, day Lewis. Yeah. I mean, he has day in his name. That's, so probably gets up early for sure if he's putting that in there. Yeah. Um, but yeah, no idea. Comes out, gets his thing, boy in the, uh, left foot, red foot, fan, my left foot. My left foot dude. No, I haven't seen it.

But it's pretty good. It's heavy. It's older. You have seen it. Really? It's about anything to do with this feet. Yeah. Oh, really, it does. Bring it up. Let's just find out what was it. My left foot.

“Hello, let me take a gander at what I thought it was really quick. It was a man. I believe I”

think there was like a train accident. He gets his, it takes place like in the South. He gets one of

his feet hit by a train and then he has to operate and fall in love. I guess with just only his other foot. He has to fall in love with someone else with only his other foot to be able to like hand them off. So his left foot is like, it's like, it's like, it's necessary. It's a big deal. Yes. Let's see it. No one expects much from Christy Brown. Daniel, they lose a boy with cerebral palsy born into a working class Irish family. Okay. It's 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 is a spaster quadriplegic and essentially paralyzed, I'm a raculous event occurs when at the age of five, he's demonstrates control of his left foot by using chalk to scroll the word on the floor. Oh, yeah. I remember this now different movie than I was thinking, but still great movie.

You, yeah, the train. Yeah. I was in a fried green tomatoes. That's awesome. I've just realized that. That is a train in it. Yeah. A little crossover. Yeah. That's, but that's a good, you know,

“the only train movie I think of was that one, Denzel Washington. Oh, it's good.”

Oh, training day. I don't think it's training day. There's one where, yeah, there is an actual thing. But there's one that there is 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, Pelican. Yeah. Is that got a train? I think there's a train in there. And was there a movie called training day? There is.

Yeah. There's a Washington in it. Nothing to do with a train. But that was Denzel. Yeah. That's you go on an Oscar for that. Oh, our maybe, maybe we shouldn't go to the theater. I don't think. But, uh, but you haven't. This was good. You have a new movie. You have your movies coming out. Yeah. No trains. May 29th. May 29th. Yes, breadwinner. Breadwinner. And in theaters. In theaters. Um, and you have a late rate. What is this? Yeah. We got the, we, we, we talked all the

movie theaters and, uh, got prices lowered. Nice. So, yeah, yeah, just because we want the whole family to come out. It's interesting with movies, man. You start looking at, like, theaters, like, you know, you guys making it in distribution, all this, like, you know, think about touring. Like, 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, uh, YouTube? He did a horror movie. And he's got a bunch of subscribers on YouTube. And he's, he's, he's a big horror fan, I think. And they made a movie. He made a movie. And I mean, it was, you know, it was going to go out to a few theaters. Then his fan just started calling

I want to say three million. And then, uh, yeah, uh, I mean, hiring is it, yeah, it's like,

“something ironed, not ironed, something. It was ironed, something. And then ironed, 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. Mm-hmm. That was in Guisean, 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-funded and created by YouTuber Mark Fishbock,

Markiplier, who wrote, directed, produced, edited and started an operating without a major studio. He shot the film over 35 days using a life size 9,000 pounds submarine set, mounts at an hydraulic motion rig. Wow. After struggling to find traditional Hollywood distribution, he self-distributed the film, massive fan campaign, convinced major theater chains. To screen it, the indie film became a massive box office hit, grossing 50 million, a four mile

budget. Wow. So it is fans all call. But 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 what 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, you know, it's like can you go do that? You know, I understand that one time is kind of like, oh yeah, it's crazy. So it'd be badger if can you go do it again or can you repeat it? And yeah, it's interesting. I mean, even with our own movie, I don't know what we sold compared to like if I were touring

in a place as opposed to people that came out to go to the theaters. 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 the movie theaters by themselves. We had one video of a dude. He sent it in. He went to the movie theater. Nobody else was in the theater, right? He ends up watching, uh, what was this dude's name? I got to find it. We'll put it in. He ends up just taking his shirt off and sitting there and watching the movie by himself for legs and he's the only guy in there. Why's the whole thing

“by himself, this dude? I think it's like, it was just guys like this like Latino guys at work. 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. And so then like 10 minutes later, he's like, I guess I'll just enjoy myself. I don't know what happened after that. I mean, he just, we know we had this shirt off and watched it. Um, oh yeah, this is him right here, dude. This is the guy. Can you pull it up? There's got to work. I got this fucking movie. I'm trying to go

to watch. I don't feel like no shit, I don't know. He just took it. He just took it. And he had to set the phone up somewhere and do this. That's kind of a vibe. Yeah. That's him right there. Golden cheeseburger right there. Golden underscore cheeseburger shot at him being a hard work. I went to catch him. I didn't even thought about wanting to take a shirt off. I think people either don't or do want to take a shirt off. Yeah. I'm a, I'm a, I don't want to take my shirt off, but I mean,

if someone wants to buddy, they want to. We know a guy. Yeah. Yeah, we do. We know a guy. Yeah, sometimes I wish we'd try to go on more theaters, but going to, uh, but yeah, taking your shirt off. Yeah. Going to theater alone, man, that, like, it's pretty great. That's some of you do a lot of a comment on the road. You can hit some, you know, you're some movie named, yeah, and you're just by yourself on there. Oh, yeah. Have you ever had someone come see right next to you? I've been by my,

I've been like by myself or like, maybe one of the comic and then two more people walk in they send the seats in front of us. Oh, drows me nuts. And what do you do? I'll move. Yeah, because our, our, our sit there and just be angered during the home movie. Yeah, because why would you do that? Oh, dude, you said right, you know, just goes sit, it's empty, just goes sit like somewhere. 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 of some. I would, no, I would go as far as way from them. I'm one that doesn't want to really be near someone. Of course, near someone in a dark theater,

you go with a buddy, like we don't sit next to each other. You have that empty seat. Thank you. Yeah.

But when we went to Kevin James movie, you went and he said next to each other and we kept the seat to come to see between us. Like a civilized seat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we were normal. Yeah, and we enjoyed the movie more. Oh, yeah, I was good, dude. Yeah. Like Beetlejuice, everybody who, you ever see that guy, Beetlejuice from Stern. We called him up. We offered a money to come on this podcast one time. And he said, no, this is what he said. This is a crazy

“part. He's like, where are you going to, where are you going to leave the money at?”

And I couldn't like, yeah, and he, and just from there, it was like, oh, it's downhill. Yeah,

it was so hard. He's like, yeah, where are you going to put the money at? Yeah. And I was like,

and I couldn't explain to him like at the bank or whatever. Yeah, we're going to sing a check. Yeah, Henri, yeah, a wire, anything. You know, America's 250th birthday is coming up. Who is 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 him puff a few out. Maybe it bets here all, sir, Frederick Douglass. I don't want to somebody. Somebody from history,

somebody that's regal in that ad mired. He's going to come on down and just huff him puff them cake candles out happy 250th America. And an iconic summer like this deserves an iconic drink.

“But yeah, I think it's different getting people to go to theaters. It's kind of a throwback.”

Yeah, I think you're heading more towards that kind of stuff with experience. I mean, you're seeing people. You're seeing a lot of things, Netflix house. You're seeing a lot of things where they want to experience a Netflix house or something. Yeah, Netflix is doing a, they're starting to build these Netflix houses, which are like movie theaters. No, it's like they would have a John Wick and they would have like, I went to one, like there you go. Like, so it's like all your favorite

Netflix shows and you get to interact with it in some way. Oh, but you can also watch the shows in the place. No, no, 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 see, so you go in and you spend the night or day and you just get interact with your favorite, just train your things. You get to go through a stranger things, set or play a little game or in that this kind of thing, I believe, I believe live experiences

terrific spot because you're, you can't AI a live performance. Right. And you, I mean,

I'm just, you can do hologram and that kind of stuff, but we, yeah, we're the only place. I mean, what else even outside of tandem comedy? We're also people even outside of like pastors at churches. I'm trying to think or reverend or 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, they're songs. Yeah. But I'm trying to think of where else is they're like,

like, I think you don't know what's influenced with what. So like, even if they're songs, if they're singing or whatever it is, I mean, I would think, you know, some folk music, like, that you, you're going to have to have stuff like that where you're like straight up, you know,

there's nothing added into it and there's nothing. All right, it's going to be a very big

spectacle, uh, spectacle show. You're going to have to go either super big. Are you going to have to be, I think, like, staying 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 peer of voice anymore. There's not that, you know, I'm saying like, that's not refined or it's not overly produced or it's the most authentic. That's why I mean, I hope young entertainers, I hope stand-up comics that are getting into it, get into it and they get in there and create an act and because you're going to be, uh, they only place, you know, essentially where you could maybe be actually hearing a real person. The preacher is a good example, too. Like, it's where you're

going to, you know, have straight on like, I just want to, I want to see the person, you know, because there's so much stuff people don't trust. So you're like, I just want to see the person, I want to see the person talking. Yeah, I want to, I want the truth. I want the, I want humanity. Like, 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 Vullottaver humor, I think a lot of it. I mean,

it's under your joke and around, but some of your true laurels are in there like these are some of my, you know, like, something, we have a 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 like that. And 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 or 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 to give her try to lie to somebody while they're tickling you. Uh, impossible. Impossible. Yeah. Maybe I'll be up there. It's impossible. That's why I want to see all this water warning in torture or whatever. And all this horrible stuff they're doing to people who don't know what I'm like, dude, tickle. Yeah, get in there. On least them. Get under their arms. On least them crawdads on somebody and you'll get it.

Grab your thigh right there. Oh, oh, dude. Where were you? This is our JFK. Where were you?

People, you always do you get tickled like this right? You knew that, right? And even if there's a

chubby kid and you grab that little doughnut around his midsection, shake the freaking truth out of his little thick ass or whatever. Sorry, and we'll edit that. But when somebody did that to you, how shocked were you? I didn't know that when somebody did that. Yeah, I remember like, uh, I used to do it in 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's going to be a big, um, it'll come back. You know, be neat ticklers. So then what you got where you're going to do that in a safe, we'll probably get government issue ticklers and those people are going to be, yeah. We've already, they're not going to try. Yeah, they're not going to be try. You're going to have to be digging into their fingers more. Like, as you're like,

“"Did you not even try?" Like, you go, "Here, give me your hand." And then you have to do it.”

And then you're like that. Yeah, you're going to be leaning more towards the dude. That's like like, bro. That's so funny, bro. You're so funny, dude. That's like, dude, that's like there's people sometimes that work. Like, I'm the city, like a city of like, I'm like, um, liais on to the city and they segue around the towns. Yeah. But dude, sometimes those people, like, well, 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 Bobbie to ask her really fast because she was going. And then another time, the guys, he's got stuck or whatever. Like, getting right hand pattern or whatever. He kept, he called it right hand pattern. He's like, it's in a right hand pattern.

trying to like, you know, we're just trying to ask. Where's the monument? Yeah, dude. That's just like, dude,

“we're talking about Paul Revere and he just kept lodging us. Yeah. Words Daniel Boone's health.”

And it's just, yeah. Yeah, dude. We're like, look, dude. We heard Harriet Tubman eight ice cream around here. Can you just tell me? Yes. Her Davie Crocker. Yeah. We are Davie Crocker and Betty Crocker actually hooked up around you. They were around the same time. Were they? I don't know. They had to admit. They had to admit up. I bet they would at least known about each other. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Davie Crocker was talked about a lot and 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 in Davie Crocker, there's a good name. I thought Davie Crocker out. Here's what I would

feel and I'm going off nothing. But Davie Crocker was when I was growing up was the guy. And I think Daniel Boone came in and started a little overshadow and Davie. Hmm. I've remembered

“Davie Crocker because he had the paraphernal yet, the hat and I think I don't know if he had a pistol”

or if he had a. Yeah. I feel like it had a gun. Like a one of those old school guns. Like a six shooter something? Yeah. No, no like a rifle. But like, yes, that's it. Bring them up. Let's get a gang at him because yeah. Who even knows? Davie Crocker and Betty Crocker are unrelated except for the shared last name, which is even the same last name. Yeah. You want to take us through Davie Crocker there, Nate? Yeah. Davie Crocker was a real 19th century American front tearsmen and politician.

Well, Betty Crocker was created in 1921 and is not a real person. Hmm. So that's tough.

But they were around because she was a catfish basically, which she probably. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's

the maybe the original catfish. Betty Crocker. Yeah. He kept going. What's up with this Betty worse? It's Betty Crocker. Yeah. She just left. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She was just here. Can you get me information just about Davie Crocker, please? Did him and Daniel Boone know each other? Crocket grew up in East Tennessee where he gained a reputation for hunting and storytelling. So he's he was kind of like a comedian. I guess he was made a colonel in the militia of Lawrence County.

He posed me the policies of President Angel Jackson where I'm from Malachi, which is named after Angel Jackson. Hmm. So he was elected to Congress. I think there was a congressman in 1836.

“He took part in the Texas Revolution and died at the Battle of the Alamo. That's why he was”

popular too because the Alamo. Yeah. Yes. The Alamo. Yeah. Crocket became famous during his lifetime for larger than life exploits popularized by stage plays in Almanax. After his death he continued to be credited with acts of mythical proportion. Hmm. And then what about uh, let's go Daniel Boone. When did he relax? When did he slide in there still his shine? Daniel Boone born in the 1734 while Davie Crocker was born in 1786. 52 years apart.

So Boone was already an aging frontier. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So probably our grandparents are great grandparents probably heard more about Boone. They did. And then we heard about Crocket. Yeah. And then maybe the truth has come out that it's like, look, we need to go pretty heavy on Boone. Because he was the originator. Yeah. Once that big big business starts push push and Boone.

I like when they're like, it's like he was born around no very second. Like you're they go

they weren't keeping stuff. I can't do that. In the general area. Yeah. Yeah. Like and then if he was like, I was born in January. And you're like, well, you know, that's a round. It counts. Yeah. It counts. Yeah, dude. He showed up in the springtime. He grew up in a quaker farming family but he came famous for his wood crafts hunting and long range exploration deep in what was in the western frontier of British America. Huh. Pretty cool, man. Everybody was kind of an explorer.

Yes. You know? Because it was. I mean, I know that like I'm saying those guys did great. But I bet there was a lot of guys that were like, yeah, the nothing was built. 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 hocus back then. Oh, having come on.

Yeah, dude. You would be above Daniel Boo. You were sponsored by the Spanish at that point. You know, I was like, he came up that way. Dude, that's the way you came up and they were like, we didn't see that coming. Yeah. It's got came through. Yeah. Dude, it is kind of crazy. And because there was also a time where there were more woods, right? Any time there was woods, you were an explorer. Any time. Yeah. That has a lot to with exploration because there was more woods

that like less timber have been cut down. So I think you had that and then yeah, just not knowing

I don't think you have a choice. I think you're just it. But it's, yeah, I think I could.

I like this 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 those, some of that's real or not. I think it's fake a lot of that's fake. Yeah. Yeah. And so there's, I know when Alaska, because they took about big foot and like in Alaska, there's like so much land and stuff like in with woods and that you go up to Washington, it's like got the most trees. Yeah, people don't even know. Yeah. It's, you can't, there's so much behind the secret

two years. Oh, yeah. You couldn't, I mean, there's, it's bigfoot's real. It's like it would be easy for a bigfoot to hide up there. Up there. That's a good point. Where's yeah, like in other places, like Modesto, it would be tougher or, you know, up in like North Atlanta or something like that. Those are going to be, yeah, bigfoot's going to get seen. Oh, dude. In Atlanta, bigfoot's going to be at the club. Yeah. Yeah. At the club. Yeah. For sure, dude. Yeah. People would

have been featured on their albums in Atlanta. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Just, yeah. Come up and talk. Yeah, you don't think the ludicrous is going to have bigfoot pull up. Yeah. Why would you not? You have access to them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And you probably don't got to pay him. He'd probably food. I don't know for sure, clean salmon. I'm thinking also, yeah. He's just given that. Yeah. These drops. Yeah. But they're going to push that narrative on him that he's like a person of color, too.

Right. Yeah. That would be like he has to show up. Yeah. He has to do, but like he has to, like, ah, he has to go to the club on a track or show up. He has to go to stuff. Yeah. He's like, I mean, yeah. We need you, bro. Yeah. We need you at diamonds or whatever that place is,

“nipple diamonds or whatever that, whatever that exotic club there is, I think. Oh, yeah. One of them”

gotten Mayor Bigger and trouble. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, a lot of them. Yeah. Well, they found glyphosate there

on some of the women. I'm always crazy how open they are about talking about that. Then BA. They,

there's, 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. Right. Like, everything else like, hey, don't talk about that. Don't talk about politics. Don't talk about how you feel about this. Don't be like, highly erving with his, you know, don't express yourself. Hmm. But if it comes to clobbery, like strip club. Yep. Go all out or throwing tens of thousands of dollars on the

back of somebody. Yeah. Then please, then say it all. Then yeah, they share it. Magic City. That's the one they just got in trouble about. Oh, did it? Yeah. Because the Hawks used Magic City night. Which is the, where they would go. And this is similar. I guess Magic City night is it, is that similar to the Nate rated all or no, this two different. It's, 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 do you make that happen with the, uh, with the theaters?”

And then also, the second early, you know, how many theaters you guys are opening up in? Three thousand. I think 3000. Oh, wow. Really? Yeah. I think so. I'm not paused. I think it's like that. I think it's 3000. But it's, you know, it's, it's like meeting, you know, we've met, like, you know, AMC, that, that had a regal cinemarks, cinemarks, like, you just kind of go to them and like,

they're all, they're in the same business. I always say this, I'm in the ticket selling business. You're

in the ticket selling business. We sell tickets. So it's, it's, you kind of take stuff out of, like, you know, the hands of Hollywood in a sense, once you're in this ticket selling business. Like, that's all, that's my relationship with the audience is I, you buy 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 won't people coming to theaters. We won't, 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, because it was, that's just what it was. You know, like, growing up was, you know, growing up, you just went to the movie theater. You couldn't do, there was no stream. There's, 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

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 are a couple of 10 and see what happens. It's like, yeah, and I'll even make that sound like and be let down. Yes. In the call that it's, you got to this city, had crime, and I was wrong. I'll even do that when I drop it. Point at it. Yeah. But you had to leave it way out of your pocket. Yeah. Back pocket. Oh, when my phone goes

off to, sometimes I used to wet the bed and I would be like an adult, which was a saddest part of it. But after that, uh, there was times where I was like supposed to like get up in the morning or whatever, and then I would urinate all of my phone, it would short out. And it would be like the best morning. But yeah, especially after something so sad happening as an adult. Oh, but then you're this at, but then no, then your phone doesn't work. And you're like, man, what did they? Yeah.

I leave my phones like on the road. I, but I'll have like, and you know, you have an apple watch, even an apple watch. Like, I, you have an apple watching. Have apple watch is 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 to call you back.

Or text message or whatever. Um, that's the big thing you do with kids at first. Sometimes you

give them an apple watch before phone. Because they can't do too much with an apple watch. But you could, you could get a hold of them. My kid. Yeah. I could have be lucky to get an apple and, uh,

“and watch what happens if you don't behave. That's that's how I'm starting. Yeah. That's a start.”

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're well-behaved. But, um, Oliver Anthony just did something. Can you bring that up? What he was trying to do with ticketing? And congrats man on your, on your, on your movie. Yeah. Or just we, we only got 500 theaters. Um, I wish we'd had gone bigger and I wish we'd gone a more rural theaters. I think we try to do like too much just city stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Um,

but anyway, but it'll be like movies or go back for too like streaming is I, I kind of think of streaming, because it's like, it's like block, block, blockbuster in a sense. It's like where your stuff can go live and people can go watch that forever. Right. I mean, birds movie, uh, you know, it's like he went to theaters and then he went crazy and did, uh, destroyed it on Netflix. Well, I think, and I also, man, it's hard to kind of made that about me there in our movie for a second.

I want to apologize about that. Uh, uh, I'll talk about your movie. No, congratulations. So it's going to be open in May 29th. That's this Friday. Yeah. And it's in theaters. It's going to be in 3,000 theaters, which means almost everywhere. Yeah. That's a lot of places. Yeah. That's wonderful. Dude. It's exciting. Um, also just, there's a chance it's four theaters. If some reason, it's not 3,000, I think it's 3,000, but it would be funny. It's 4,000, you mean? No, no,

I think 4,000 is the max. I think we're at three. I'm just saying, we go back and, you know, it's in a hundred theaters, and it could be that too. So what was Oliver saying? Yeah, I just saw this other day. Can you just play a little bit of it? I could really use your suggestions and your advice. I am looking for venues to play. Um, you know, I've started booking my own shows again. So in April, we did those Virginia's, um, where I just rented the room outright and I sold

my own tickets through this West Virginia ticket company. And it was sweet. It was like a bypass to the whole system. Um, and it actually worked. And it went over pretty well. And so I just announced again for the June 1st through the third. 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 it. Okay, got it.

So you know, trying, I guess, I'm ticketing. I guess ticketing may be through the exact venues.

I think that's a big thing for people and Oliver's always been like a pioneer of like trying to

figure out, you know, how do you get take away from, you know, some of these big groups like ticket master and live nation. It's just that had these conglomerates. You know, it's a lot. I mean, it's ticketing master fees are crazy. They're crazy. Here's the like, you know, they're crazy.

“No, no, they're 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. Right. 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

Lou, remember, Lou, Lou, he did it for a while. He did it a long time ago. You buy tickets through

“his website and stuff like that. There's many ways that you can go try to do it. And I looked”

a hard part of this, too, is that some people are like, I'll just, let me go to take a master do. I don't, you know, 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 look, I always thought of it like, you're right

and never thought about that part of it. Yeah. So sometimes you're like, dude, what do you want? Like, if I really look at it all, even though it's like the, I believe in the thing that you're doing, it's, uh, it's just so much work and you got to get the word out and people have to find you and see you. And all this, it, I don't know what he, where he wants to be, career-wise. Like, if, like, you know, he want to be the most biggest star in the world, I don't feel like he, I feel like

he loves where he's at. And like, I think he just loves having that relationship with the,

“with the audience, with the people, which is, which is amazing. Uh, and so it's like you should do that.”

But then there's a mix, you're, the thing, you know, it's, even if you're doing like comedy clubs and if 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 meet, they don't know where

this rock venue is at. So they've never heard of this rock venue. They just know where the

comedy club is. Right now you're doing it now. You're, yeah, 100 people show up under a bench somewhere. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Oh, and just got where it's 33, 300 theaters there. So yeah, I think so the, yeah, it's hard job this stuff. Take a master does all this stuff. They, it's, it's one of those, it's a mafia. Yeah, but you're, you know, but the audience, you know, yes, it's frustrating. We're off frustrated by it, but then it's also like people are busy. You got to, how many people can you

get that are going to go follow you everywhere? I agree when you, when you, when you make it, like, yeah, you know, and sometimes when you give stuff, you ever noticed, I like I waited tables. And so

I used to always think, uh, Applebees right over here, Thompson Lee. Yeah, so me and my wife

of it, I pray for all the people over there. You match your wife at Applebees. These Thompson Lane. So,

“oh my god, I don't know what Thompson Lee, but, you know, do you remember what day or what day it was?”

Or was it a holiday day? Daniel Bung was born around about, around about November 2nd. Yeah, in the spring, in the spring. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, and you met her there and had 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. And I was a whole life. 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. You know,

when you came in, you know, you just, I was an easy, like, hey, you know, wasn't aggressive, yeah. Yeah, like, hey, what do you want to do? Where do you want to go? You're talking me into where you want to sit? Easily. Easily. Easily. Can we say to her about the window? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whether that's sections wide open. Can I go over there? Of course. We can walk over there. Yeah. Do 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. I thought something had happened all the babies. Yeah. That's where they kept, they're like, what's wrong with this restaurant? There you go. We've had some baby problems here. Yeah, that's an adult. Yeah. And that's where they, and where they upside down. Yeah. Sometimes they were. Oh, man. I see that. I still think of that. And sometimes they'd be stacked on each other. Yeah. Something. You know,

yeah. The old wood baby seats. They have that thing. Dude, sometimes they would have a baby's had chiseled his name in the wood. Oh, yeah. You know? They came a lot. Yeah, like Ricky Jr. or something was really in there. 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 an unhappy baby. They'd say, like, Brooks was here. Just chiseled it. Yeah. Yeah. Like oh. It's a lot of weight and tables.

It's 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'm in charge of for the coke. I didn't, you know, no charge for any thought. I thought like me hooking you up would mean a higher tip. Right. 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 you in a weird, we all, because in my head, you're like,

you'll do it. I'm like, you know, I've, I've took it off. I've done what I can of like,

you. And then I'll get you, you know, I don't know. Like, you're doing these little things that

anything they're going to be like, I'll get you one extra little. But they tip off the price. They tip off the price. And they don't think. And so those people's the math and they're head like, well, I don't remember how much stuff that was worth. What do I do here? Because they just want to eat and like, just charge me. They want a breadstick and they want to meet a woman. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you're like, all of garden where they're going to be free bread, you know, it's like,

you tip extra. No, like, I don't think you tip, you don't, you don't wrap that in. That's a big thing.

“They give you a free, don't they give free breadsticks and maybe salad or something? I think they're”

soup even though they're unlimited pasta, something like it's like aggressive. If you just run in there, they'll give you a half a handful of soup. Yeah. Yeah. For nothing. Yeah. For nothing. Do 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 breadsticks. Yeah. But I wonder if they make you feel the guilty asking for. Yeah. Like, oh, let me see if we have a, let me see if we have a,

give it. Oh, Charlie's back in the day. When they, you know, Charlie nuts shelves on the floor? No, no, Charlie's was a different restaurant, but they had these great roles. And I mean, the roles were, oh, Charlie's has great, 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 roles. And you would set them down on the

table and then everybody'd be like, go ahead and bring another round. And they didn't have five of them. Yeah, dude. They were the best roles in the world. 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 your basket of five and you're like, before you turn around, these are going.

“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, if they arrived yet, because they, I mean, they were the best people were text in the plug, or whatever. Here's a solid copycat for Charlie's original roles. Warm, whole milk, a six of cup of sugar, dry yeast, a beaten egg, butter, purpose flour, salt. Thank you. Yeah, nice. Yeah, maybe a little bit of sugar in it. Oh, dude. Maybe they didn't have sugar. Maybe

I mean, I don't know. I don't know. 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, the whole little sugar. Yeah. Anything making anything for your family tonight. The whole little sugar. Oh, I do egg and they do it. Do pasta sauce. Oh, there's a six cup of sugar. That's it. Oh, 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, probably yeast heavy. They might have went yeast heavy. You remember what 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, like a pop rock or whatever, like a pop rock bread or whatever.

One thing about making the movie you didn't expect, man, because this is your first movie. You

made it. You wrote it with Dan Lagana. Is that right? Yep. Who's a friend of mine? Great guy.

“Great guy. I'm going to just say he's great. He's great. He's great. Um, did you also direct it?”

No, no, Eric Appell. Okay. He did. Eric Appell. Eric Appell. He did, uh, the, um, weird all-yankovish movie. And so it's a great movie. And then so he did that. And then we had Jeremy Lachim was a producer and, uh, Sony, tri-star. It was a full-on, like big, you know, we did it in Atlanta, uh, trilloth, which is right outside of, uh, trilloth, trilloth, trilloth. So, uh, don't know of Chick-fil-A, Dan Kathy. He, that's where they used to shoot all the Marvel movies.

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're just walking around. Would you see other actors this after in the day when you're like, they were working on different projects? Yeah.

“Like whom did you say to you, Mike? Is this a circle? You saw a little white?”

A little white. No way. Yeah. And so he was, he was shooting a game show. You would see a lot of, uh, what was he doing? Who opened or playing dice or whatever what was he doing when you saw him? No, he was at, he was just at a restaurant. There's a restaurant? 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, uh, I mean, some people have houses there, then you're rental

out to people that come in because when you were, you know, when they're shooting these Marvel stuff, I mean, you'd have to have like, you know, Chris Pratt or Robert Andrew, you know, I mean, you can go live not in that town too, 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 freaking,

you know, Robert Downey Jr. Al Pacino is like checking his mail or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll be the lead 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, they did a bunch of Marvel moves. I bet this is an old article because 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 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, but 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 from about 5,000 people created using the principles of new urbanism, a concept that means neighborhood should be walkable

and compact with very building types and less emphasis on cars. That'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 for cars or other safe for cars. What is it? Fossils. Fossils. Fossils. Fossils. Fossils. And they, so you could go shoot actually on that street. So if you had like, should a British style movie, like you could shoot on the neighborhood,

you could do it in the neighborhood and be like, well these houses look like they're British. And these look more modern and stuff like that. Wow. And you could buy, you could run it out. And this is on Proplexity, AI. Thank you, Proplexity. According to the article, the towns amenities are geared toward a walkable self-contained lifestyle, retail restaurants, a boutique hotel, co-working space, performing arts center, wellness center, and an innovative

micro school. It also has lots of green space communal parks and geothermal, smart home design features. Wow. Yeah, it's, it's a great idea. In the fact that if you were trying to, which they did, so you're trying, you're creating this studio and you want, the thing is is like, it was, you know, the taxes, it's like now everything went to London, like they're all in London. Now, because those, they're making those movies and there's so expensive, so it's like they,

they shoot a lot of stuff over there now. They want to shoot everything there. There was that Rob Low talked about that thing where it's like, for his game show, he was easier to shoot in Ireland and fly the American audience to out to Ireland than it was to cheaper the 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, well, you're not, which just movie was like in Atlanta, and I think we would have shot it and candid or something, but I was fortunate able to be like, well, I just wouldn't make a movie. I was like, I'm not just too far away. Well, it's like, yeah, I'm out touring and you're able to, the great thing for any young comedian, if you can, you just keep doing what you're doing. You end up getting to hold a lot more kind of power. Like, 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 like that. It's like, we got to go make this movie

I'll figure it out or find something else. 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 won't shoot it in Nashville. Did you try to shoot the film in Nashville? I tried, but this one went, so it was moving so quick that it's like we could have probably, but then it was, we needed to get it made and they have everything more infrastructure there for making stuff. The

thing about Tennessee is we don't have 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 up 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 what a movie or a different scene. Like a different movie or whatever. No, I mean, a different, a whole different movie. You got to have the multiple production

“crews. Oh, when they're height of that truth, I mean, I think they were using 12 to 20 studios”

filming a lot of things. Oh, I see you're saying so they would have like, as long as you're you get 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 high demand of movies. Got it. Like, you know, you got like doing that rescue 911, Nashville 911 or whatever this 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, we just don't have the infrastructure.

We don't have the, I think we can. Right. I think we can get it. I think it takes time and you got to show that. Oh, yeah. You got to show that you're really committed in doing it. Right. Yeah. Things have to happen. It's easy to be toxic incentives all that type of stuff. 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. Yes, from the studios where they can all be right there.

George was a place that jumped on that really, really fast. But, you know, then you see it now, a lot of stuff, you know, even left still wasn't low enough. So then they still go out. Oh, yeah. Further. But I mean, that's where you're in a movie business. That's really reliant on

these movies that cost $500 million to make or what. And you're like, well, then you got to stop

“making movies. Well, how much did you guys cost to make you said? I think ours is like 38 million.”

Are you serious? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's a big studio. Wow. I didn't realize all that man. Congratulations. I mean, that's, that's, 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. You have a couple of children in it. Yep. You have the kids are great. Charlotte, Birdie and Stella is the oldest. That's Birdie. Yep. And then, but the kids are great. And it's a movie that's, it's PG. It's the idea of this

is, you know, I want you to go take your whole family out to go to it. Take your mom, take your grandma. Like, you know, it's, I, I, I, I, I just love that. I love that when people can go out and they can all go together. I want to go to stuff with my family. Like, you know, you want to go and then, so you go look at a lot of movies now. It's, it's like a lot of horror movies. It's a great point. It's horror. It's a big, or it's like a Marvel movie or something, or it's

“our, 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 getting it. It's been so successful for you, right? Like, I think growth that's top touring comedian last year, maybe I think, and I don't, 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 is 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 their got it. Like, so if it's on, like, but it's, when, there's tons of kids in my show. Uh, not tons. It's, but there's kids at the show, right? And you see them, but I watch them and I can tell, like, they're not, you know, I, they don't, like, a kid's not going to lie. They don't get everything. They don't get. Yeah, they like,

some of the dumb silly jokes, but if I'm talking about, like, marriage and stuff like that, they're not going to be laughing at that or, but I know when they get in the car, they're going to just talk about the whole, like, right? And we, I hear that from parents, like, they're just, like, oh, they just can't. 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, because it is, you're being, you're making it for, you know, my stuff is not, I'm not trying to make it,

You can get away with a lot more when you don't curse. Um, cursing is just kind of like, that's just what

I've found. But it's just, what do you mean when you get away with a lot more? I think you can say a lot of things and talk about a lot of stuff. And, uh, I think if you, if you don't curse, it's, I need to hear this. It's, uh, it's like, the cursing is what I think, like, it's just,

“that's what people hear that. Either they check out, or they're like, he's dirty, or he's this,”

or he's that. And so if you're a control of it, just being a 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, they start on the internet, then they go to the Netflix, like, no one's, like, there's no boundaries, where we, like, we came, we did live at Gotham. I think the same year, right around. And when you did that on Comedy Central, you had, you couldn't say

whatever you wanted to say. That's not a bad thing. That means you have to be creative in a scenario. Not saying don't you can come on anything else and go to say whatever you want to go say. Right. But it's not a bad thing to have, like, some TV boundaries around you. Yeah. Because then it makes you come at stuff in different angles. Oh, yeah. I mean, I fan, I almost fantasize sometimes, not fantasize, probably the weirdest word, but I, I think about that of like, yeah, I would like

to get to a place where I don't have to, you know, or not, because I don't have to hurt you,

“but it's just where I don't, where I don't want to curse. Yeah. I think I do it. I don't even know”

why I do it. I 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, not vulgar, no, no. 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. If 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? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Because I work for myself and I'm a shitty employee. Yeah. You know, I'm about smoking and catching myself. Yeah. I'll sneak around the corner, smoke, and then run around the corner, I'm like, what are you doing out of here? You know, deep fryer's freaking acting up, you know. So, but I do do whatever you want to go do. But by the way, no one think, I don't think you may think some of you is a dirty

calling. Yeah. Thanks. Like, I don't think, you know, my first, 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 date? Would you ever, like, say, one day I'm going to put out this, getting back a dark folder, I'm going to put out of just the other side of things. Have you ever had, like, if you ever wanted to have, like, an only fans read to say, like, bad, some bad words on it? Uh, no. I just don't think I, uh, I think I'm just past the point of where I would. I, you know,

look, I, like, whatever. Was it like that? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we, we grew up, when I grew up, it was like, cursing was, you know, my parents were, uh, became Christian when I was born and when I have a joke about it, they were the most Christian. And so, like, you know, growing up here, Southern Baptist, very strict rules. Like, it's, it's, uh, you know, I think churches and that church is completely different. Now, like, a lot of it's non-denomination and all that,

but it's, then it was like, yeah, you didn't, uh, no one, no, I mean, cursing was, looked at, and no one, in my, my, my parents did not curse. So I wasn't around. Yeah, it's awesome. Like, that's, so I have, uh, not that I'm, I'm not perfect. But my strictness in it, in my act,

is just was like, I was just never going to do it. Got it. And then when I started that way,

it's like, yeah, it would be weird to go. And it doesn't feel like I'm ostracizing you for not doing. It doesn't feel like that doesn't. No. No, I think some people, I don't feel like you do, but it doesn't feel like I'm ostracizing like I'm, I'm the envious of it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. And I think it just, it just, like, yeah, it makes it to, it's, it's ready for everybody, right? Like, this is something that you can, uh, and a parent knows at some point, I can turn that on.

This is a thing that does get me sometimes. If I'm parents with their kids, like, I don't know if I can turn to his podcast on because it's going to have for fans in it, or they might be talking about some stuff that's going to be a bit obtuse for kids. I think about that, sometimes with serious radio where it's like, you, you know, are you getting to some stuff about sports? So you were listening to sports stuff. And then it's like, some of it gets, they're cursing and you're like,

I'm just trying to, like, hear the score of the game. You have seen, you had, like, you know, I'm, we're both giant UFC fans. And, uh, the paper 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 be cursing”

and all this stuff. And, like, not to, sometimes you're like, I just wouldn't mind, like, if my

can we have a channel where it's like, I just know you're not going to go nuts. Yeah. Like,

“you know what I mean? Like, because the only thing she's going to look up to is if she hears a”

bad word to you look up and she's going to look at you, like, dad, what do you listen to this? And you're like, I'm, you're like, I know I'm just trying to listen to, uh, like, you just want it to be, like, local radio, like, I'm just a gachy fan. What do you, you know, give me a chance here. You know, I'm a cold, look, cold, we're coming to, it's hard to, it's hard to keep him quiet.

He's the good, just the word. You can't listen to. I've never done that in a good scope.

But you know, Xavier says all the crazy stuff. 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 because they just wanted to fight, but then they have to, some of them have to probably feel a pressure to become this other thing, because 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 wear the commentators. Yeah, they're talking about your right. I mean,

they do a good job, though, when you have see, like, I don't like when Rogan and all of them, like, they don't curse. Oh, they're pretty clear. Yeah. I don't think they curse at all. But when they go interview, but that's another thing that's to fight her. They're in the moment.

It's going to be hard not to let loose. And some of that's part of what it is. But it's,

“I do think you have to see does a great job with like when his Daniel Corman and Rogan and, like,”

they do not curse with John Antich. There's three are the greatest, the greatest group that's ever done. And they also have when they have bisping, Paul Felder, even when those guys aren't doing it, poor days on the air now, Chris Wydeman, Cormeet, I mean, yeah, but those guys are all doing great. Yeah, yeah, dude. He's been great, dude. He's like, yeah, I just love, like, I love seeing those guys get to be not just fighters and get to share their personalities. I got to ask you about,

I feel like such a freaking reporter now, got to 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 getting to cement investing. Okay. So we're about to start

that kind of process. We have the land. Are we basically think we know where we want to land to be?

We have not, like we haven't said anything. We're about to 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, where 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 that pick. 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. To a story land is a company that helps make these things come from fruition, like they build them and everything. Yeah, yeah, got it. And so they, they, they make it, they help you design all that designing, all that rendering, all that getting that of the idea of what we're trying to do. And is this a real renderer? Have you seen this before? Yeah. Okay. And what is on this renderer? Can you zoom in on that photo for me,

Sam? Uh, it's, it's going to be like, it says name and a front, like, so that front area, right past the night land is going to be like a retro mall. So that's like, that would be open all your 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 can have something like that. I'm not saying this is where we are having in there. But you can have some stuff like that, restaurants, stuff like that.

That's open all your round. You have three sections of the park. You have a section to the left. Which is roller coasters? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's crazy dude. I just went, uh, I was in Hershey, Pennsylvania. You went to the, uh, Hershey park? No, Hershey park. Uh, dollar would not think in a canyon would. I think I know Kenny would. Kenny was in Pittsburgh. Oh, no, we didn't go there. Went to Hershey park. How was that? It's awesome. And so we rode

some roller coasters, which were, uh, it was kind of roller coasters shopping, which was crazy. Because you're like, well, you would just ride, well, they know they had a few that you're like, the rollback the miles on this. Yeah, you go. No, thank you. Uh, but it was weird to be riding a roller coaster being like, yeah, that was, they got out. That one felt great. And then you're like,

“you know, you kind of like, yeah, let's do that one. Um, that's what, and who did you go with?”

Was it just a family trip? I was on the road. I was there. I did chose there. And so we had a one guy from Storyland. He came up and he kind of just walked me through and said, uh, one of, for this one roller coaster we're doing. The roller coaster 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 are this is another one. So you're really

riding some stuff and getting a, you know, being like, all right, what's this one kind of feel like,

there was one, there was one like, uh, uh, like a big one might be like $30 million. Like,

uh, I'm not like, you know, I don't know if it's the biggest one, but like, uh, I kind of knew were very, very good coaster they have. We were getting some of them just trying to guess there, uh, was about 30, they said $30 million. And then there's some other rides that were one was like a new version of a tilt-to-world kind of, but it was like kind of moved around. You tried that out too. Yeah, yeah, we rode that just seemed that was, and I think that was like $850,000.

Oh, that's when you get that one, that one you get in your house, you know, you get just going and lay away and just have that lay, lay, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away, lay away. Uh, dang, I think kid rock, he get that thing. Yeah, freaking dude, but he probably, but it's like, yes, so you start going through and he's ruining it. In this thing park, I mean, he would ruin the

kid. Sorry, I had to say that. He put it on the white. It's just that way. He clips of me just roast and even though we're friends, I freaking love roasting him. Oh, yeah, he ruined it dude. He would spin his money on that set of buying his brother a new leg, who's missing one,

“shut up Billy. But yeah, go on. Hey, good boy, you should get a discount and be like, if you get”

50 ran off, do that 50 to that leg. That's himself. You already wrapped his head around spinning 850. Yeah, and then, you know what you could go 8, like if kid rock goes, I'm spinning 850 for this, and then he goes does brother and goes, if you can get any down, you can get that leg. Right, whatever you save, you aren't. Yeah. Yeah, I love that limit. I'll fight a brother missing something. My limit is low as up in a healthy, but that's me.

But, so do you have a budget for how much you can spend on coasters for this thing? Yeah, yeah, it's all budgeted in. Like, I mean, you know, we're looking, it's like,

roughly going to be like $350 million. And then, yeah, and it's, well, the land be a least,

or will it be owning the land? Yeah, it's, there's a lot of that. I can't get into. Okay, and how hands on with you are all of that, like some of it, and some of it, obviously,

“this like, that my new she wouldn't be involved in, but yeah, how hands on with you are all that?”

I was picking the land. I mean, it's crazy, because you're, I'll be in this, in these meetings, and I forget, again, that we're talking about like being in charge. I forget, like, storyland, like, all this stuff when you do this, I'm paying for all this. For them to go, do the, uh, feasibility study, and like, to economic study. And, I mean, these are giant studies that they do when you do investments to go to show the tax revenue

that it can bring the jobs that you can bring to Nashville. I mean, the reason I love this idea and doing this is the idea of providing jobs. I want, I want it. I want our customer, like, the workers to be very much like, you know, it is Disney, or like, you think, like, Chick-fil-A, where you know, they're just great workers, and you want people to be able to come there. Someone like me that wasn't able to go, that couldn't get into college. And, like, so I, you don't know what, you know,

my, I just was like, I'm a comedian, but it was before that, you're like, I was a water meter reader. I didn't know what jobs, you know, you don't meet people that have other crazy jobs. They were green water meters? Yeah. I grabbed them down and drew it. Did you? Yeah. They got a lot of water out there, huh? Yeah, yeah, a lot of meters.

“And you had to go do it. Uh, because you can't just guess, huh?”

Now, I think if they have it where you can draw a bite and it just does it look exactly how to get out of the crowbar and you would lift up their thing and type in how much water. And have they have snakes in there sometimes? Oh, yeah. I remember one was laid right on top of the water meter and you got to get it and makes my body nervous. Yeah, yeah, yeah, spiders.

You never knew every time you ever find anything cool there, a little stash, a bagel of

baguette, something. Uh, no, I don't think I ever found anything like that. No, but really nothing, nobody had nothing a little spare long time. No, no, I don't think people were a little second Christmas on them. Yeah. It would be a good place to put something. Could you think about that? 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 see spiders up in there? I mean, yeah, that was every one of them had

spiders. They loved it. And you ever see a clean one somebody taking care of it? They just, no, I mean, it's, you know, I'm like, yes, a newer house. Like, you know, one, I think it just has it been through it. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, bad do remember this snake. Snake was just curled right on top of it and I had to get it off because I have to lift the thing to read it. Gosh, yeah, I sold a tagging food door to door for a while with this felidoo. That was a dang. He told her just

all the time. Huh? Now we had bread rolls. We had Italian. It was like this thing called Italian

Yeah. Like, um, pasta's, bolognese. Yeah. They had a raviada. Uh, what else? Uh, I think that vodka,

sauce pizza or something. Yeah. I don't know. But we just have like a little bit of pieces too. You don't repeat this pizza. Pizza. You work the damn pizza. I do the redoing. He saw that to come back. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know why? Cause experiences. That's a big thing. That's a big reason. It's, it's stuff for people to do because they, we had that, uh, you remember they just have a buffet,

“pizza was great. You kidding? But if you want to fight, it's when your parents had a real”

something serious going on in the marriage. Yeah. You take you there. Yep. That was something serious was happening. And it could be something good or forward waters. And you got a sprite. Do you hope they didn't notice? There's big red. 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. It's the best. Now, they had a particular type of ice in there too. I think. Yes. A little bit like a little shave, Sonic. Yeah,

we saw different. I think having a unique ice is, it's little things like that that can add a lot of texture to a place. Um, a little bit more about Nate Land. So, so something's obviously you have to get the funding to make sure you can get the space or something'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? No, just my money. So you're the only money right now. This isn't going to where I would be in big trouble. No, I mean, I would be touring for the rest. But it's like right now it's on, it's just me. What made you make that choice? It's a big choice and no judgment. And

“I think it's a cool choice. I think it's a good choice. What made you make it? And I wish you the best”

of luck with the business. I'll go over there. Thank you. We loved it. It's, you know, 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, they didn't, 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 going to build a theme park. But then as I got, why did they close it, you know? They, they got a mall. There's a mall there now,

Opera Mills mall. And I don't use the opera land a theme park. Yeah, right there? Yeah, I don't even know that. Yeah. I don't even know if it'd be curious to see if there's a reason. I don't know if there'd be a real reason on the internet to be honest. I think that it was like maybe, like it was like 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 it's parent company Gaylord Entertainment wanted to transition, sorry,

crazy name. Gaylord, because it lowered, I think it's straight. Yeah. Wanted to transition the seasonal theme park into a highly profitable year-round retail entertainment complex, understandable. Yeah. So that was the well-bushed cannibal. The one that goes upside down. If that was it, you remember the name of that one? I don't know. Yeah. What's that one? Scream wallbush cannibal. The wallbush cannibal? Yeah. Dang. So you were there, Nate.

Yeah, screaming the screaming Delta Demon. Oh, yeah. I met her before. I met her. Dang it out. It, uh, she goes to Mississippi State for sure. I think she just did 50 days of booze and out there in Knoxville for sure. Dude, uh, oh my god, so you were in the trenches there in oppyland. Yeah. I was, uh, I was a sweeper and I worked in the dog kennel and my dad did magic there. So, but like, so the reason I thought about this was like the idea, it's, uh, you know, when you

started, I started doing all these arenas and all, my, my, my, my, my big day dreaming goal when I was

starting comedy was the headline Bridgetone. And so when I, when I did it for the first time,

“I remember that night, uh, I really was like, I mean, I remember it was that night. I was like,”

what am I supposed to do now? Because I just thought about that for 20 years. And then, uh, which is crazy. It was 20 years, pretty much, I think exactly for me to get there to headline Bridgetone. And uh, congratulations on that. And we sold 19,000, 365 tickets, which is 20 years. Isn't that crazy? If you're in the, I don't know, I'm not even into numbers. You sold 19,000, 365 tickets. So, 19 years plus 365. 20 years, 20 years. And by, uh, so when you, when I got to that, I go,

all right, like I just felt like, what am I, what's the next? You got to have something else. It can't be, you know, you got to, I got to assume that if I keep becoming great comic,

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 purpose? And I, and I thought, it can't be about me. Right. This life, it cannot be about me. Or I'm going to go crazy. Right. And so, uh, from that moment when I started, when I was like, I'm going to start Nate Land the company, the idea of like, being able to make some movies that are the movie that we're making right now, the bread winner. And then, uh, you know, I thought of a theme park and thought like, you know what? I want to

build a place where, you know, maybe all my ideas can go live. This theme park is not going to be about me. It's about the state of Tennessee. But, uh, it's about, you know, it's called Nate Land. And there's going to be Easter Eggish stuff. But people think it's going to be a, like, a shot, shrine to me. It's not. It's, you know, it's going to represent Nashville and all this stuff. It's like, you just got to have someone that has the vision to be able to want to go do it.

Did you guys have choices for different names? Is Nate Land because it's the production

company she just named it the same thing? It's just always been, yeah, Nate Land is, uh, and I

get it. Look at me. You worked at it. You worked at a theme park. You came up with it. It's like, I certainly get it. I think it's the, it's the, it's the trust. The reason, the reason it's named after me is the trust. If you get, if I can keep trust with my audience with this audience, so we do. And that's the biggest thing. So they can trust that they know that they can see what I'm doing. Then it's like, you kind of need to know who's making, he like, who's behind this.

I say, you're putting yourself on my, I will sell the tickets. Got it. There's responsibility of that park thriving is on me. I need to sell the ticket tickets. I need to keep the trust that I have with this audience. That's on me. That's not anybody else's problem.

“I'll do it. That's, that's what I feel has been bestowed upon me. That's I'm just doing when I”

feel I'm being helped to do called, did you pray about it? Kind of too like if you had it. Because this is some of these are big choices. Not the need to. Yeah. No, yeah. Yeah. A lot of it is. I mean, a lot of it is you feel very much like, you know, doors and stuff and your ideas and stuff that you think of or it's not even yours. It's kind of like a higher power. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I very much, you, you, I mean, you can visualize a lot of stuff. And then I think when you

can easily visualize something, you're like, and then the doors start opening that way, then you go, that's the direction you need to kind of 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 kind of follow the lead. And as we did Nate Land and then it was just kind of like, you got me excited now. Because yeah,

you hear little things, you see things on X and stuff like that, but you don't know, you know, and just feel so lucky that I'm getting to listen to talk about. 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, it's not about that. Like it's about everything there.

“It's one day, that's what everything becomes. It's like you don't even know. It's like you go to”

like, uh, Applebee's or whatever. You don't know who Roger Applebee is anymore. No. You know, or whatever. You go to like, Tim Horton's, you know, 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 to you, best? No, Ernest. Oh, the singer. Yeah, Ernest is a singer, dude. For Logan's roadhouse, he's kind of like John Daley is for Hooters. Oh, yeah. He's like living in the back of one of

bless and brother, bless Ernest. He has a new album coming out too. I got to get him and Willie Roberts, and here's the amount of sitting chop it up. Those guys are funny. Um, but no, dude, I just understand it more. Now, take me on some of these rides because I know you've already thought about some of the ride. The first one is they're going to be a water facet. Isn't it? You're not doing the water thing, huh? Water part? No. No. Because also people get a little bit of what I can't say. Yes,

people get electrocuted. If you know water parks. Yeah. Really? Well, I mean, they're not going to if you get electrocuted. Is that a, this is kind of a rain. Yeah. Yeah. Well, if it rains, it's more

“water, but if you get, if you get electrocuted, do you have to have water to get electrocuted? No,”

I've been electrocuted. I got electrocuted up some of the food truck that was selling seafood, illegal seafood. Um, you know what it's all about? Well, you've been Portland, you know, Portland,

but always, I thought of this, they are like, are like, uh, uh, like said like food trucks,

right? Like people would make fun of like, because I'm going to McDonald's and all this stuff. There people go to food truck, and they're like, they're raven about this food truck. You're like, this guy has food and this Honda Civic all night. Do you got to trust that he took it home? Yeah, dude. You go, who are you to tell me that mine's at least at a building in frozen. I'm always like that. Yeah. Like they'll call especially people in this alley, Red Nags,

they give us like, but dude, this guy, yeah, that you know, close that is to his gas tank. He's cooking right over New York City. He's like, you know, it's like, then there's been a long line and a food truck. And yeah, you're, you know, and it's like, oh, that's okay. And you're like, McDonald's safer than that. Yeah, dude, I don't want to case it either to see that

because he got a fight that morning. There's wife any rain out. And but he had the plastic

over him. So he's like, it doesn't matter. Like, like, that changes everything. If you put plastic over something, it changes every. Yeah. Little seran, right? Yeah. It was like, oh, dang, this is like three days old. You put some ceramic over it. You know, it's like, I can't do it. 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 want to be a part of your life, man. Yeah. I just want to

run in a new. Yeah. I didn't know Kevin Hart was in the earlier. 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, if any of you wouldn't, I had to show at the same time, dude. You did.

But yeah, they did it. They did the roast. Oh, none of the roasts. I don't think had a problem with the

jokes. Um, oh, wait, except for Chelsea Hammer did, I think. Chelsea Hammer came out and said that she has some problem with some of Shane and Tony's jokes, maybe. Yeah. I don't think with the roast, so they was Shane and Tony. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can get out of the damn good call. She kind of said the very, yeah. Yeah. I was like, I don't know, but all the jokes mainly Shane and Tony. Do you feel like in that kind of instance, if people are signing up for something like that,

it feels like it's like fair game. Unless it's like, file, you know, maybe I think it's got all to be fair game, just sign it up for it. I mean, it's like, I know, you know, it's like one of those, like, where are you going to say the line is? Uh, the roasts are just that they've just

“got, 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 it's, it just gets mean and, 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, I was very happy for Big J overseen killed it. Yes. I said it was big. Yeah, Big J, I was very happy, you know, I've been with Big J, we started with them. Like, uh, so J crushed it and nine Lynn, I thought crushed it. And I like nine Lynn, but those

of those people have a connection with two 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, are like, you know, moving along hosting it. Like, it's a hard thing to say. It's a lot to do. Uh, yeah, people did what they were supposed to do. But I mean, these roasts, it's like, uh, they're just mean, some of the feeling you're writing, 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, very creative. But yes, some of it. It's like, did some of this really make me feel good or it is like, yeah, I think it's like, Kevin Hart did great handling a lot of it too. Because yeah,

it was like, it wasn't, you know, he, you know, kept saying like, this is what you signed up for. And he kept thinking, the messaging was good from him afterwards. Like, because it, I mean, it was like such a tough crazy. It's crazy. But it's like, I mean, you know, what you, I think if you do roast, if you go look back at the old roast to stuff, these guys, the people that were up there were really, as far as I knew, but they really knew each other. They were really

friends, or they, there was actually love, really shown. So you could go do stuff. And when there's no love shown, and with some of them, they don't even know them each other. It's like, it's going to be, it's going to be tough. Show under what it did great. Like, hand, what, you know, this stuff, they were saying, but how she handled that she, she has a great laugh and like, so it's like, he 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 I thought a boss could was up there, you know, because I like sitting where you add it and thinking to jokes. No, I wasn't at it. I don't want to go, like, I don't want them catch in my face if I see something. Yeah, if my feelings get hurt, something fall. I got enough of that shit out there. So I don't need any of that. But yeah, it was just interesting. Thank you.

There you go. You just get more calls and texts. Oh, dude. Yeah, if they just show your face, they could jump off the buildings. Yeah, he's not doing well. Every week, it's like somebody fight out there. It's not doing well. I'm doing fine. In fact, I'm doing great. Yeah. Well,

“that's where that's what people want to hear, though. You know, they don't do well. No,”

that you're doing great. Yeah. I think it does people worry about you, but that's a lot of love showing your way that people worry about. Yeah, but sometimes it's people take stuff that's kind of normal and they put it in their own space and put it out there like, oh, this guy's having a

problem. And I think my podcast has always just been like a place like, well, I just kind of

share what's going on, right? Like, I share a pretty transparent thing. I guess, and maybe I shouldn't

but I think I don't like it. Sometimes people will frame it like, oh, we can help this guy.

Mm-hmm. It's like, dude, I'm fine. You know, like, I'm just fine. It's any human being. It's being a human seems real spooky sometimes. Yeah. But you're every part goes with I'm fine. Yeah. No, but then here's a crazy part. The more you say, should I didn't become this thing? So the whole thing is kind of crazy. Yeah. You know, through a podcast from the top of the building and just go, I'm fine. That'd be a great idea. You know, I buddy join a call. Actually, I'm not this,

is this crazy. It's a really playing into it. I like that idea. Yeah. I don't. And look, we keep moving the desk closer over to the edge. Yeah. They can see, all right? He gets, I'm fine. Yeah, you just start to scoot. My, my, join 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?”

You know, he's just the dealer. It's such a funny thing to say. After he loses a big hand. Hey, she's with y'all got a bathroom on top of the roof. What 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 bit old. You know, things are getting a little interesting. Yeah. Um, we got to talk about the rides dude. So what, first of all, what I don't know if I'm going to tell you anything

about the rides for the rides at that at Nateland. Yeah. But do you know the governor that's going to be the speed on them or whatever if you already decide? 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 them. I will. Let me run one of them. I know. Just for an evening. Just do the overnight. I do the overnight. You run it. And then you get on it with them, but you don't pull the safety thing down. You go. I'll say,

it doesn't work. Yeah. 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 where y'all, we just always plan to that. There you go.

“See those crazy because I don't need it. Are you just holding it and you see if you can go do it?”

I'll let you do it roller coaster. I just, yeah, just to let me DJ one night or something. Oh, yeah. Or what a good ride. I'm trying to think for like, even for a young, like, I was just had a ride that helped you, like the list fix or whatever. Oh, like a very spinner. Just something like it just spun you so much. Yeah. The list is flew right out. Counterclockwise. Yeah. Spinner counterclockwise. Yeah. Time after time. Maybe that's all. Yeah. You could rush. You could buy. You could steal.

I'd be. Is that a list? That a song about a list? I don't know who sang that, but I just think if they had a or the underbite fix or whatever. I'm trying to think of a good, like a ride that would like, you know. Underbite fix would be just we have a guy walk around his punches. Yeah. Undercut. And you don't ever know where he's at. Yeah. And you just know when you go in with an underbite, we've clocked you facial recognition, all that stuff we can tell. And

then he's just a guy. That's just, you know, he's in a gig. Yeah. And you know he's going to get

you. Yeah. But he's going to get you so good that you're never going to see it coming. And we

fix that underbite. Oh, like that. Yeah. No charge. Oh, like that idea. Or yeah, if they had like the GLP one, those epic ride. Yes. And when you get off, and it makes his spins you so fast that you get a little leaner because of how it does your body. Mm-hmm. Or like when you take a shorter or a towel and you put it in the washing, 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. Yeah. You know, you're fed into a size one and a half. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You'll fit into a dang baby at least an hour. Yeah. Maybe it's not like it's going to be forever. No, it's at least an hour. Yeah. 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 Nate Land at one pm. Yeah. And then I got to be there. So that food that you anywhere you feel that expanding your mouth. That's what's going to happen to your body. You know, wedding dress. But you come in. Yeah. Once the band starts though, honey, that's your home. Yeah. Here, we're not responsible for that. Yeah. You get one. I mean, you could fit into your six grade graduation pants if you had one for one hour. Yeah. I like that.

That's a good run. And that ride does it 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 though. Oh, yeah. You know, and then they get out and everybody's behind and walking out of there. Look, like, Mark's six and in her two sisters. Yeah. That's a good ride. Dude, I'm telling you, I can

I think we're going to have a part where you're going to fit right in. Yeah. Let me run that crocodile

tank. It's going to be a swamp. Like a swamp part. Yeah. I'm going to sit near there and pet in a crocodile. And we took all his scales down. We shaped. We like, uh, used a, um, wood thing to take his scales down low and you can pet him. Oh, no. D sharpened him. Yeah. Good. What about the mouth? You're like, mouth has got. We have to mouth. We forgot about that. Hey, good. You know, expensive. It was due to the top part. And that's when the guy undercuts him, the carcala. And he got, yeah,

guy was worth. Uh, yeah. It's like a butterbeen. Remember butterbeen? Yeah. I remember butterbeen 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 not great. I'm not going to pretend I knew him great. Yeah. But I knew him enough. We communicate and got to podcast with him and, um, got to go down there and see him one time that it is bar and restaurants, uh,

a fan of his son Nick. Um, Eric David Scott Ash, better known by his name Butterbeen. Was this some just, I mean, everybody has, his funeral, like, there's some big guys there. Oh, dude.

“Tall, like, you know, mankind was there, I think. Yeah. Woman kind was there, too, I think.”

Was Undertaker there? I didn't see her in a while, but yeah. Was she? Who? Woman kind. I think whoever that is. Yeah. Um, Jackson Dougham was there. Uh, Undertaker? Undertaker was not there that I didn't see. Vince McMahon was there. Um, we have a band like a Chuck E. Cheese band or anything. Like that at Nate Landy thing. Uh, I think that's all. That's open for discussion. Yeah. That's definitely open. And you got to have a cool Nate Nate. Oh, Nate inch nails would be good.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You laugh. That's pretty good. Yeah. It's a kid music. But it's all rock, but yes, rock, rock doing kid music. Yeah. I like that. Thanks. I mean, I'm trying to think of any other one. Nate Vaughn and maybe it sounded as good. Um, Nate inch nails might be it. They might be it. Nate go back. This is how. Yeah. You. I like that. Okay. Um, we have a new segment that we're doing eight. It's by, uh, it's our Mountain Dew Summer segment. Um,

so thank you for being here. We're quick. Yeah. Thank you, buddy. Thank you. And congratulations

dude on your movie. Yeah. Um, and congratulations on your, uh, your goals to make, uh, an amazing

theme park in an amazing city. Thank you. I want to say awesome man. Yeah. It's cool. Yeah. It's really inspiring. Thank you. And I mean that. Thank you. Um, 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. Uh, you're hosting a barbeque, right? And these are for you and me. Okay. 'Cause I hadn't seen these. You're hosting a barbeque. What do you say if you burn someone's meat?

Uh, I mean, you just like apologize to him, but, sorry. Yeah, I'll make another one. Are you saying I'm an alley that one? And you tell you, yeah. Yeah.

“That's what you did. You rallied that one. I'll handle it. Yeah. Don't worry about it. Yeah.”

And for a moment. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. And then they'll be, I get to my mom who eats everything burnt. She does. Loves everything burnt. Oh, yeah. There's a, 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 me and where they're not doing medium, they're not doing medium, the medium wells burn it. Yeah.

Well, because they're using also prefabricated teeth, a lot of them. So they got some chopper. They got the ability to get it. Yeah. This is shaking it. Yeah, a good 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 them. 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 the first time I thought could drink and see the soda going

down as I drink it. Yeah, I do. We buy a lot. I don't, people, I don't think cans were, I think bottle to the soda bottle was way more in when I was younger. Two liters in cups. And yes, and now it's like, I guess environments cans. But, and I remember one time they came out with the wide mouth. Oh, yeah, two liter. You remember that? Yeah, and you could pour it. He could pour faster.

Those are the days. Oh, those are the days. Yeah. Why did you drink a diamond do? I mean, I would drink it

every day. Really? And what were you training for? Just, I mean, there's a may be an American,

“I think just keeping my body where I can, whatever I put in, it's going to be a hand on 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 in the morning. You drink diamond do in the morning? Yeah, I can't. Yeah, that or I'll drink a diet, something in the morning. Oh, I'll show the soda. Yeah, I'll show them whose balls right off the gate. Right off the gate. I think if I had to give up soda, I think a breakfast soda would be my heart is to give up. Oh, yeah. Oh, hey, and shout out to anybody

drinking breakfast soda. Yeah. On Colin Quinn, he drinks it. He drinks it. I go get more of the food. Yeah. Oh, he's a breakfast soda drinker. Do, do you know, do you know Mountain Dew started in Tennessee? I think so, but I don't know, you know, I think I do that. No, yeah, yeah, smokey mountains. I'm going to put it off. I love that old logo. Oh, yeah, let me get a very old 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 world. You'll see it a lot of times, electricians, comedians, right? Yes, you said yourself. You were morning drinker plumbers roadkill guys, right? Yeah. If you look in the back of the truck, you see 11 of those empty diet duels or whatever. They're quietly like the backbone of America. These diet dude 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 for your

pass and by or just in it and it just it's summertime, right? The windows are down. What song or band are you turning on the radio? In drinking, diet, Mountain Dew. Yeah, you can be. If you want, I'll have one with you. Yeah. You know, maybe some country. Uh, a Toby Keith. Oh, yeah. You know. Yeah. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I'll enjoy that with you. Yeah. I mean, nice

“drive. All right. Thank you so much, dude. Yeah. 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 do, or I mean, it's crazy dude. It's crazy to build a thing 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 taking me through some of this, right? Was there a moment like, because 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 midlife crisis, quarterlife crisis. You'll see like a fifth grader going through like a fifth grader life crisis. They have now on TikTok or whatever. They in fifth grade they do. Yeah. Now that's the thing or whatever. It's like, all right, but do you like graduate? I went to my daughter graduated eighth grade. You went to that? You know, went to the, 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. Do you know, is everyone's school led out? Yeah. God, that day, because you looked so forward to, but then you had not, there was nothing to do. Yeah. You would lay there all someone is rule in the middle of your living room. And wait for your mom again. Even though you couldn't, you couldn't wait for it to leave.

You couldn't wait for it to get on. Yeah. Yeah. God. Yeah. So there's my daughter's first

her start a summer. But anyway, what do y'all have playing for the summer together? Do y'all, there's just some things you guys are going to do? I don't know. She, uh, like, she rides horseshoe, she loves horse riding and all this. So she'll, she'll do a ton of that.

“And that's what her summer ends up becoming a lot of like going out. We, it's, it's at a,”

we have a, uh, 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 us 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. It's a lot. I mean, it's a lot. You know, the horse is a lot. I mean, you know, but she does it. She, you know, to tackle 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 cold or, but now that we're in the summer, I'll try to, you know, go and some trial ride to other. Hey, man. Yeah. The blast dude. But you're saying it's about Nate Lane. Like, uh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anything else you can tell me about Nate Lane kind of before we leave? Well, it's, it's like the idea. The hard part is, uh, oh, I was saying

thank you so much for just for explaining to me what it was like, like, what's some of the yes, and then I'm worried about doing it. Yeah. And then you're worried about doing it. Because yeah, I was saying he gets a certain point to your career. We're like, well, now what? Like, I just got done on my special, like, I've been touring for the past, like, really 20 years. I've been touring,

early because I've been on TV already, but it was like, I didn't have any comedy. But so I,

“it's, it's just been so, this is like the first time in my life is like the second week of it.”

Yeah. And it's like, I don't know what to do kind of. Yeah. And it's kind of like, interesting.

And my first thought is, just go back out onto her, like, figure out and go back out. And maybe

it is what it'll be what I'll do. Like, you know, get a new hour and go out. But it's, but do you get to part in your career where you're like, any your life, right? Or you're like, well, now what do I do? And then what happened with this, 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, the heart, I think the heart 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 be like, why, why are you doing this? What do you want it? Like, you know, if you call it Nate Land, you're like, why are you calling it? You get to call it actually. 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 just get a sit, 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 thing, part of it? Like, what if I do it? Like, that's crazy. You know, I'm like, I don't come from any world where I should be building a thingport. Like, from old history, there's, there's nowhere in my

growth of a child to high school and that you would ever be at a point. There's no where that I should even have the success that I should have had. Yeah. So then you got to go to where you start going like, well, then I'll just start. I'll just keep going until someone says, no, until they, you know, Mike Lindell had the mapella. 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,

“not people have all caught. No, but like, yeah, that's what I think when, when you had these ideas”

and you want to go do some, it's like, it's like, you got to just go do it. Yeah. And the hardest thing is you got to sometimes, you know, it's, it's going to be people that you know that, they're, you know, that sometimes can be your friends or whatever that can be like, what are you doing? Why are you doing this? Those are the ones that kind of come and they, they, you know, they don't understand it. Some of that is somewhat 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 have someone, or anything. If someone does something, they, 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, 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 mean, the name and pop tonight, my head, like, oh, what, why would he choose that? What's going on, right? I choose it because I mean, you, again, like, well, now I get to trust it. Oh, do after talking to you like, I get exactly where it is, you know? 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 then I don't know if

some of that's jealousy may be 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, no one wants to, and look at Walt Disney, it was, he had both of his names in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he went heavy. Yeah, yeah, all the way in and out. But you go see these guys, like people are stuck where they, they see stuff get built and be one of

these ideas and they think we can't do it again. You know why can't do it again? Right, why can't

we had a theme park here. I'm not picking a city that's never had a theme park. Nashville and Houston

are the two cities that can sustain a full theme park. I already know all the stuff. Right. I've already done all 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, like this may be back all for this or that or whatever. And so I very much

believe in 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'm going to 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 and I'm doing it. Maybe it's going to be good. Maybe it's not going to be good. Like, oh, like, what if I don't make it? What have I do make it? It's similar to anything. It's like, well, maybe, you know,

if I who cares? Yeah. I don't want anything from you. Right. I don't want anything from,

I want people that either buy into what I'm trying to do or just don't. 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, so when I lay there at the end of it all, I want to be like, man, I tried this, I tried that. I want to smile and think about the things that I tried. Yeah, you know. You got to think too with comedians. Look at this success you get where just you're talking. We're just talking.

We don't have movie. We don't have a music behind us. We don't have, that's just us talking.

“Yeah. So like, if you start, that's what you think about the movies where you're like,”

yeah, if you go put a movie behind, you know, not that everybody'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, trait straight up that when movie scary because you don't know if it's how it's going to be until the day off. Yeah. And that's very nerve-racking. 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, because you're almost like, I'd watch in 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, but not porn over whatever, because you're like, yeah, I should, this is something you

watch by yourself. And suddenly, I realized as it starts, I'm like, whoa, yeah, I've watched this. This is something I was supposed to watch by myself. Yeah. I don't think this is for Mexican assumption. So that was so freaking harrowing, dude. How we did it for me? It is very, it's very weird to watch yourself. And you're like, I should have done that, or I should have done the, you know, gear just, yeah. I mean, yeah. But to just do it, like, if I stand up, you're almost,

like, I don't watch my stand up, or I watch it maybe once. But it's like, you've done it so much.

“That I think maybe you're kind of used to it, 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. 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 who doesn't know what to do, and then you're doing a really great job of it. Thank you, bro. And, um, oh, and with a theme park, will the rise be for all ages, or is the rise even just for, like, little children? No, no. It's a, all a full, we're have fun,

big rides, kid park, like, every, it's, like a regular theme park. Yeah. So it's going to be, and, 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 can come out. Hey, man. Um,

“Nip or Gatsy, the movie opens up this week, May 29th, Entheaters in 3300 theaters. That's what we found”

out. Yeah. The bread winner on Nip or Gatsy Mandy Moore, uh, a super mom lands a shark tank deal switching roles with her bread. When her husband, he struggles to adapt as a stay in home dead to their three daughters. It's not like a dumb day. Everybody gets crazy about being a dumb dead thing. It's not a dumb dead thing. It's, uh, it's, you know, he ends up taking the dead there and it's a sweet, sweet, funny, uh, cute movie. And again, something that we take everybody out to.

And that's all, and it's the first one. So see where we go from here. Hey, man, man. Congratulations,

bro. Thanks for your time doing. Congrats on everything. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, bro. That brown, I'll share this piece of my mouth. I can see it in my bones.
