And lose the accent.
We know you're British.
Hello.
I really don't feel that.
I really don't.
And I think it,
I think because I didn't come up in L.A.
or New York in the comedy scene,
and I always think I'm like one of the little odd men out.
And I think nobody knows who I am.
The series, I led the numbers on Netflix,
got to be nuts.
I mean, everybody, everybody's talking about that show.
I'd be it that serious.
And I had to, it came out the same time as the hunting wives.
So I was up against those girls that were killing boars in their panties and stuff.

Maybe that's just for guys, I don't know.
What is the, what is the backstory?
Give us the origin story.
How you grew up.
Okay.
Tennessee gal.
Tennessee farming.
Farming.
What kind of farm?
Dark fire tobacco that makes Copenhagen and Scholl.
No.
That's not right.
Well, thanks for coming in.
It's all the time we have today.
Get out of here.
Yeah, my people were, um, tobacco farmers, both.
sides generations back.
No kidding.
In Middle Tennessee, on the Kentucky, Tennessee border, I was raised in a town of 500.
I was always told 500.
Now I think it's 625.
Things are going well.
Baby boom.
Yeah, but I was born in Bowling Green.
My dad was cutting meat at Kroger and was a meat cutter.
And like at 22, 23 years old, then we moved back to our home place where all of our people were.
and ran a grocery store and had a meat processing plant.
He ended up doing that in a farm.
And had a-and-the-tobacco farm.
About a hundred-acre tobacco farm.
And had a man that share-cropped.
And he did alfalfa, corn, soybeans, but mostly dark-fired tobacco.
Man, that's a diverse combo right there.
Alfalfa long cut.
I know.
And it was in this little bitty country town.
But it's outside of Nashville, like 35 miles northwest.
of Nashville, Tennessee.
So there was, you know, we did right into town.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we'd go the doctor in the mall.
The doctor in the mall.
The doctor and the mall.
The doctor and the mall.
I wasn't sure how.
The doctor wasn't in the mall, was he?
No.
I think they've shut that mall down that I grew up going to
because they said people were shooting people.
And medical medical practice.
She says that like she doesn't believe it too.
She said people were shooting people.
I didn't see, I didn't hear nothing.
But that was over where all the country music stars lived.
So country music, all those, Porter Wagner, Johnny Cash, all those kind of people lived over in the area close to where I was raised.
Wow.
The Opry and all that.
Pretty sweet.
Yeah.
I would see people, you know, out and about.
Really?
Yeah.
Johnny Cash, you'd see him at the mall?
Porter Wagner.
Forty Wagner at the mall that closed down, but he's no longer with us.
Uh-huh.
And then Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash were at.
Sherwin Williams buying paint.
Get out of here.
That's got to be made up.
Because cut, no, it's not.
But they weren't buying their own paint.
They didn't have a pink guy.
That's how country music people are.
I need an eggshell white.
Wow.
I mean, what a good.
One of the questions that we ask is who's the most famous person you
ever met or saw?
Early on as a kid.
It would be like a local newscaster usually.
Yeah.
And I did.
And the Mandrill sisters.
don't know y'all may be too young the mandrill sisters i saw them buying panties and bronze at dillards
at dillard at dillard at dillards and rivergate mall that's a great mall name too the rivergate
is that the one that's closed the river gate because the shootings those the shoot a legend
a legend all right let's go back so you've all your your family has always had this farm
right yeah okay but somebody else worked somebody else
took care of it.
Yes.
So it was just kind of in the family.
Yeah, but we got out there and worked in it some.
I mean, I've picked tobacco plants.
I've dropped sticks, they call it.
I've worked in tobacco fields.
What's dropping sticks?
In the rows where they chop the tobacco, lay it down.
You lay down sticks.
So then they pick a stick up, put the tobacco plant on it.
Then that's hung on a scaffolding.
And then that's taken to a barn and smoked, like a low fire.
beneath and cured.
That's how they cure it.
I don't know it was smoked.
I didn't know that at all.
As much tobacco as I consumed, I never knew, I never knew the process.
Did you smoke cigarettes?
Yeah.
I did too.
Big heaters.
I did too.
What age did you start?
I didn't start until I was like 19.
Really?
What's the brand?
What were you smoking?
Marlboro light.
Okay.
How good is I mean?
Oh, I loved them.
They were, they were good when they were good.
They were good when they were good, but it was a monkey.
That was a monkey on my back.
Amen, sister.
And I'm thankful to get off of that.
Me too.
And not be hooked on that.
I got six of them on me.
All right, let's go back.
So do you have the farm?
But your dad was working at a Kroger.
It was.
And then my grandparents had a grocery store in that little town.
Okay.
And farms on both sides.
My mom's parents.
And they said, would you come back and run this store?
So my dad went back and ran the grocery store.
And it's, and this is how old time,
this is going to sound like gun smoke.
Okay.
He was also a bounty hunter.
You could, that back then, farmers, you had a credit,
and you could just charge stuff,
and then you didn't have paid for it until your crop came in.
Wow.
That's pretty sweet.
So it wasn't, you didn't make a lot of money.
And so, but he, all these people started asking him to cut up their sides of beef,
their cows and their hogs and all, and deer, the hunter.
and all that.
So he opened up a meat processing plant when I was in sixth grade that was very successful.
Really?
Well, it worked them like meals.
I mean, it was hard labor.
Like how big of an operation are we talking?
Well, I mean, my family worked in it.
My grandparents, both grandfathers worked in it, two aunts, high school kids.
They'd hire them.
Like, would it be considered commercial?
No, it was for, it was like one of these.
I mean, it's grandparents in there.
Okay.
But it was everything was, you know, FD.
What is it when the government comes?
FDA approved. Yeah, they come in and...
I just assumed we didn't have to clarify that.
Inspect it.
It was very clean.
It was very clean and up the standards.
You got a thing with the law.
You know, I didn't believe there was shooting.
It was all FDIC.
All approved.
But we cut up farmers, their cows, all that.
But people came from all over Kentucky and Tennessee, and they stayed busy
for a 20-something years.
That's great.
And worked.
I'm sorry.
That's okay, my angel.
I just cut off a Southern woman.
I'm dead meat.
It's finally caught up to me.
Where did you guys live?
Where were you guys actually living?
Where was the house?
The house was on, you know, it's two or three acres,
and that meat processing plant was up in the back of that.
So we shared a driveway with that.
Okay.
So I grew up.
I'm going to.
So deer season, all these people kill deer.
We didn't have enough space in those freezers because they had cows
and so many deer in them or hogs or whatever.
So if it was cold enough, they hung those deer in the trees until they could get to them.
In your yard, essentially, yeah.
Yes.
And my sister was in college trying to date, you know, cute football players.
City boys.
The United States.
Yes.
And she would be so embarrassed because there would be all these carcasses and stuff.
But I was proud of it.
But I dated little farming boys.
Country boys.
Yeah, and they were, and they we cut up their people's meat.
Yeah, it was normal.
So I was, I thought it was normal.
It did not.
And then we had all these dongs, stray dongs.
All the, all the meat.
So there would be, you know, a fat beagle with a deer leg in his.
And I had a beagle that I ran over several times, but he was so bad.
Ran him over?
He said, I didn't mean to.
In the car?
I didn't, yeah.
I backed on him.
I didn't mean to.
Several.
I mean, he was so heavy that it would just go boom, and then he would get up.
I got one of them, too.
Huh.
What?
Country.
I'm talking country.
Okay.
There's something about a fat beagle that just, I mean, any time you see one, it's a good time.
He looked like a stump.
Comedy gold right there.
Hey, he was co-starred in the TV shows back in the day, a fat beagle.
You always had a fat beagle in the show.
Huh.
Okay.
Man.
How many brothers and sisters?
one sister.
Just you and your sister.
Uh-huh.
And your mom.
And she's three and a half years older than me.
Okay.
So it's you guys, it's you and your mom and your dad in the house.
And my mom and daddy.
And how were you in school?
It was okay.
I mean, I didn't care, y'all.
I was going to go to Hollywood.
And I knew that from the time I was little.
Really?
Yeah.
What did you wanted?
Was it acting or was it singing?
I wanted to be a comedic actor.
Really?
Yeah.
Look at that.
I didn't.
And so I remember.
just thinking, this is just a stop off.
You know, I mean, I'm going to have a good time, and then I'm out of here.
And I, I mean, I could learn, but I just didn't care.
Sure.
But I did okay, but, but I went to a little bitty country high school that was, I graduated 42 people.
And a lot of people came out and were in future farmers of America, a lot of boys farm.
And then, but a lot of people went.
I went to college out of that little school, and there were some smart little children in there.
But, um.
Did you attempt to go to college at all?
I went to college and graduated.
Where'd you go?
I mean, the University of Tennessee.

But as a baby, my sister was in love with Donnie Osmond.
So my parents took us to see the Osmond brothers.
Really?
And I could have cared less.
I tried to dig them.
That's big, though.
I was more of a, then I went later to see the Jack.
I saw the Jackson 5.
Really?
Michael Jackson and the Jack.
That whole album when they're doing that.
Remember that?

I went to that.
Whoa.
That was my jam.
That's great.

Okay.
The Jackson 5, that's a really good.
What was your first car?
Your first car?
I had a Monte Carlo.
What?
With T-tops.
Whoa.
It was used, but it was cute.
It was very cute.
What age did you get that?
Drove home and stole it.
Okay, I was 16.
16.
And my grandparents helped and got it with my parents and got it for me.
And it was Burgundy.
Oh, Burgundy, that's all right.
It was a 79.
That thing's huge.
And then.
That's why you kept running over that eagle.
Let me tell you, though.
I had an 81 nearer that was Burgundy again.
I don't know why that.
And then had T-TOP.
A Monty Carlo as well?
Uh-huh.
And then my sister, she was, I didn't even pick it out.
And then she was at Austin P., which was right down the road.
That's where she went to college.
Because that's in Clarksville, Tennessee, near 101.
The Army base were the boys that flew in the seals that killed Uday and Cousay.
Y'all remember that?
What a pull.
That's that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, I did not know who you were going to say.
I would, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't, a million choices I would have never got to do day and Couset.
I almost put my hand over my heart when he said that.
Woo!
I don't know.
I was, I was an F-16 flyby when she said that.
Uday and Quesay.
Wow.
Uday and Kusay.
That's such a southern thing, got what's coming to them.
That's such a southern thing.
That's where the boys, man.
That's the boys that flew them in, the bad mamma jamas.
And they put, you know that sign on the side of the road that flashes like merge here?
They put Uday and Kusei are dead.
Thanks to our good boys.
And that was pointing at the 101.
At another mall, not the mall that got shut down.
Another mall.
Holy hat.
It was pointing in except Uday and Couss ain't are dead.
Oh, man, that's awesome.
Yeah, but she went to Austin P.
So she came home in the middle of the night and stole my first Monty Carlo that was the 81.
She had the 79, switched them in the driveway, and then just took off.
And nobody said anything because they were scared of them.
So then I drove the 79, but it was pretty cool.
And it T-Tops.
That's really cool.
T-tops on anything's cool.
Yeah.
and that's what I ran over everybody in
because nobody told me
they were busy cutting meat
they said let's take one
run roll around the Methodist church parking lot
and then yeah get your license
running gun yeah what was your first job working on the farm
I would assume at a younger age
yeah I worked in the meat in farm
in the tobacco as a little bit of kin
I wouldn't good help but I thought it was cool
and I would do it but it was hot
and then
And then I would do meat when they needed help, my sister and I would wrap meat.
That's not fun.
Okay.
It smells weird.
Sure.
You have?
I was never good at it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was tough.
Yeah, it's tough.
It is tough.
It's not fun.
I wanted to work at Wendy's or something.
So bad.
I wanted to drive into town.
It was like 20 minutes away and work at a fast food because everybody was starting to do that.
But they needed me back home.
Yeah, you got a family business.
Was that your grocery store that you guys would go to?
Your family one?
Like to get stuff for the house?
No, by the time, not much because it wasn't big enough.
It just had what you needed.
But after we sold it, it didn't, they didn't keep a lot there.
So we'd go into town like gunsmoke.
So we'd go to either Springfield or Clarksville and do our main at a Kroger or something like that.
It would be a Kroger.
Okay.
And what were the family vacations like growing up?
We would go, they worked a lot.
My dad worked a lot and my mama.
But we would go to Florida, you know, every few years.
We go to the Smoky Mountains.
Very nice.
I'm very close.
I now live like 30 minutes from the Smoky Mountains.
It's beautiful.
It is beautiful.
But I was raised in Middle Tennessee, so that was, you know, kind of like five hours away.
We would also, if we just needed a weekend getaway,
we would go over into Kentucky, to Kentucky Lakes and go to the state park.
at the motel, probably was a motel because they had an in-ground pool.
That was a big deal.
That's a big deal.
For country kids.
And I used, we would go to Owensboro or Paduca to this executive inn that had a Paduca, Kentucky, that would have a buffet.
Okay.
Very nice.
And an in-ground pool.
Okay.
Uh-huh.
That's big.
Yeah.
And I saw Kentucky Fried Chicken, the man that started that.
in his 90s, Colonel Sanders, at the buffet in Owensboro, Kentucky.
He was, you're telling me Colonel Sanders was at the buffet?
Yes.
He's got all that chicken.
Wasn't this some old guy wearing a weird tie?
Yeah.
He did.
He looked just like what you would think.
That's a real man that started Kentucky Fried Chicken.
That's a real one.
I never thought.
I don't know to believe her.
I know.
It's the craziest story.
I never thought anybody had to convince me that,
Mm-hmm.
Colonel Sanders was a real man.
I always assumed he was.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, of course.
He's a real guy.
Yeah, good chicken.
The best.
It's falling off a little bit.
That's just me.
He's been dead 30 years.
That's true.
What do you want from the guy?
That recipe's going to get leaked somewhere on the internet.
Huh.
Good Lord.
Yeah.
Quite the tail.
Who would do the cooking at the house?
Your mom?
My mama.
Specialties?
Um, we had a, she had a garden.
So, we, everything was, we knew where our meat came from, we killed her own beef.
Farmed a table.
Farmed a table.
Before it was chic.
And vegetables.
And I don't remember her.
I mean, there was always a cornbread or a biscuit.
Really?
Uh-huh.
And it was, but it was home-cooked.
And she worked like a man and ran that, really ran that meat house.
And, but, I mean, we would go and get like oatmeal little debbies, but I didn't like them.
Uh-huh.
I looked back.
on it i was this big i was frail because i was eating all like farming food yeah i'd eat pento beans
after basketball practice i was like i'm feeling like pento beans you know what was the game
situation how far would you go with that deer you're venison i don't i don't oh really i can't
eat any wild game no kidding that's what i'm saying what we're eating back then yeah okay
I was eating a lot of vegetables because they opened that when I was in sixth grade.
And my sister locked me in a freezer as soon as they opened it.
She was like a hog that was hanging like that out of his neck and locked me in that freezer.
And I was traumatized.
And I would see all that meat and I didn't eat meat.
I'm not kidding.
I was more of a vegetarian.
I think pretty much a vegetarian until I went to UT and got away from it.
No kidding.
Again.
Whoa.
And I'm really not.
not a big meat eater now I'm not against it or anything I want to eat it and I need this protein
because I've been through menopause but but I but yeah a lot of I was raised they were cooking
steaks and bacon and all that how would you get your steak cooked if you did have a steak
honey well because I've been raised in that and it's embarrassing every time I go to a nice restaurant
I have to go well done please and then I go I was raised on a farm and then I was raised on a farm
And then my, in a meat process,
I plant my children and go.
You don't have to tell everybody that.
But I do feel that way.
I've got to have it charred.
And I don't care.
I can dip it in some A1.
Will you ask for sauce if you're out?
I do have to have a salt.
I like to dip.
I might have been my favorite response ever on the whole show.
Oh, you angel.
You like to dip.
I do love a dip.
I like a sauce.
Welcome to the show.
So now you're in Nashville.
We're outside of Nashville, right?
When I was right.
No, no.
Where you live now?
Oh, I'm in Knoxville.
Near, I'm in Knoxville.
Okay.
Near you to.
Okay.
Pool at the house now?
Got it.
In ground.
Yeah, just recently.
Just recently put in.
Very nice.
Is it a newer house or is it a house that?
It's an older house and we renovated it.
Nice.
Very nice.
I've never had a pool.
Yeah.
Yes.
Connected to the pool?
Yes.
Very nice.
Can you?
Very nice.
Can you use the hot, is the pool in season at all times or no?
Well, we just moved in, so I don't know how to even do a pool.
I mean, and Chuck Morgan doesn't like to spend money.
He's very much a samer.
Do you say his full name all the time?
I love it.
Chuck Morgan.
Because my mama called my daddy, Jimmy Fletcher.
And also, y'all, Chuck Lurie did my show.
And then my son's name is Charlie.
And so I just say Chuck Morgan, so everybody doesn't get all these.
Chuck's and Charlie's mixed up.
Sure.
Yeah, but we have said, can we heat the pool?
Yeah.
But I don't think he's going to let us.
What?
I don't know.
I mean, Chuck.
The heater in the pool.
I mean, come on.
Come on.
You got a heater money.
Chuck, what are you doing?
Spend a little cash.
Chuck, you got the 401K.
You've been with that company for 30 years.
Yeah.
He has and we have lived below our means.
Yeah.
But that's that Warren Buffett mindset, where he's eating that sausage McMuffin
every morning. If he gets a Coke or not.
Yeah, and a Coke or not. Yeah. I'd be getting a Grand Slam every day if I ain't that kind of
Gage. What are you nuts? Catch me at Perkins, dog. Yeah.
That's Chuck. Come on. I hate the pool for the lake. She's working hard.
She's got a second season, right? Yeah, what are we doing?
You got Netflix money. Turn a pool on. If I come down, I'd pull better be on. Just saying.
Okay. And we can go to Dollywood? I've never been.
Dollywood's right next to me.
Which is, what is it called, Pigeon Forge?
Pigeon Forge and Severeval.
Mm-hmm.
Uh-huh.
And I will take y'all to Dollywood.
I need to go.
I've heard great things.
Huh.
I mean, okay.
Now we've shifted into now.
Shifted into now, yeah.
A little bit.
I think we've covered the childhood.
I mean, as much as I've gotten the game meat and, you know, the venison processing facility.
I play sports.
I play sports.
Yeah.
Wasn't a great student.
It's okay.
I mean, I did okay.
I did okay.
Well, I did okay for a little country school that wasn't a prep school.
I mean, we took home egg.
I learned how to make an omelet.
That's good.
You know, and learn how to sew a pair of jogpers.
Okay.
And then the boys would, okay, this is how old time it was.
Boys would get out at 1.30 in the afternoon to go work in the field.
That's crazy.
I'd be so pissed.
Why?
Do you have to leave school to go work?
Got to go drop sticks, dude.
And let me tell you all this.
boys would be driving to school like at 10.
I mean, everybody could drive a tractor and drive a truck and they worked.
They didn't care, yeah, right?
So everybody was driving way too young.
Yeah, and just drove all the time, and nobody cared.
That rural.
That's country.
That's country.
Yeah, I think we have the childhood pretty covered.
You got the deer hanging from the trees.
Sister stole her car.
Right?
Y'all don't know anybody else that have got deer hanging from the trees.
No, around this time of year, maybe.
Not, yeah, not really.
Huh.
Okay.
Yeah.
I got one about the general family.
Okay.
Anyone in your extended family ever represent themselves in court?
No.
And you're running with the law for you.
No, not really.
What did you guys have, like a local sheriff, small town operation?
The county had a sheriff.
But yeah, they didn't come down there.
We weren't doing anything.
Really?
There was a, there was a, and my dad was a volunteer at our little fire department.
All the men volunteered in that.
It was a volunteer fire department.
But yeah, I mean, there would be a patrol car every once in a while.
But, yeah, not, you know, you kept your door unlocked, that kind of stuff.
Like, Mayberry.
Sure, I mean, the deer was deterrent, you know, anybody.
Well, true.
All those deer legs.
Walking through a house of heart.
You mentioned the omelet.
Can you still make a good omelet?
I'm okay.
You're okay.
If there's enough oil in there.
You do any cooking now?
Not much since I've been working like a meal.
Sure.
But I raised these children cooking three meals a day.
You did, yeah.
Except when they all play sports, so we'd stop at Chafelay or something.
But I cooked and I enjoyed cooking.
What's your go-to?
We came over.
You're really trying to wow us.
You got the heat on, the hot tub's going on.
Sunday dinner at the Morgans.
What are you cooking us?
I love a Mississippi pot roast.
I'm into that.
And these children have always loved it.
If y'all ever had one of those, very flavorful.
What's a difference between a regular pot roast and a misting of pot roast?
It's, um, okay, you know, country.
It's a packet of augeau, a packet of ranch dressing, ranch dressing.
Ranch dressing, okay, all right.
A packet of the dry ranch dressing, and then a stick of butter cut up on that.
I thought it was going to be like a little more.
Okay.
And then a jar of peppercini.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ah, okay.
All in the crock pot.
And y'all will smack each other.
I am telling y'all.

And he'll sit up and you'll just knock out.
You'll be asleep.
I'll knock out.
Does he fall asleep with the TV on?
Sometimes.
Uh-huh.
And I've got to reach around a tiny beagle.
I got a bagel now.
Sleeps in bed with you.
Sleeps in bed with me.
And she's yummy.
And I have to turn everything off because he falls asleep.
And his light on his side.
I have to get up and turn that on.
We have his and her vanities in the bathroom.
We do nail.
Nice.
because for a long time it was tiny and he
wait a long time when did you move into this house
I just like when was that baby
what end of August this year
what yeah you're in the same house for 25 years
I raised my children in the same house
guys are making cash what do it
it wasn't a bad house okay it was and it was a lovely
now that I have now that we have her here too as well
when you know you're you've so
Chuck had a good job.
Your dad had a good job, right?
Executive did well.
Then you started doing very well later in life as well.
Later in life, early, early, within the past 10 years or so, right?
Yeah, probably about seven.
Did you notice a significant change in income during that or no?
Once she started really cooking and his Netflix started cutting checks, left and right.
Chuck Lurie?
She mentioned Chuck Lurie.
You know what that guy's got under his belt?
He ain't working with anybody.
He's got a little cash.
Um, when we got this new house.
The new house.
You know, you go, okay, it's not, he won't turn the heat on in the pool.
What are you talking about?
But it's got, it's not an elevator.
An elevator in the house.
It's got a tiny, all right, boy.
There we go.
It's a tiny, tiny, tiny little elevator.
The little telephone is.
Because my little, yes, because my little mama is in a wheelchair.
So when she comes, we can, and my mother-in-law's on a walker.
So we had to take care of all these darling, elderly people.
I made my mama's room, and my daddy's still with us.
But for their room, I did a walk-in shower for her and handicapped all ADA accessible.
In case the government wants to come and check that.
That's all ADA accessible, okay?
And that elevator's been inspected.
But that, I think it's a regularly looking little elevator.
They're tiny.
But it works.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you guys remodel the kitchen?
I think the whole thing's been, I would have.
Yes.
Yes, but not, I mean, we kept a lot of stuff that they had because it was nice.
Do we have an island?
I have an island.
Very nice.
Thank you.
And I have a bigger pantry this time.
Very nice.
You walk in that.
Because my other pantry was tiny, and I raised all those children, and it was all these pento beans.
And I needed somewhere to put them.
They love them.
We're being up, yeah.
Sub-Z fridge?
What are we talking about?
You got stainless steel in there.
Stainless steel.
And then this one, this is a sub-zee.
this new house.
That's Southern class.
He whispers sub-zero.
But it's,
but it was theirs.
I didn't get a new one.
Oh, really?
And the,
and everybody chanked it
and they said it was fine.
Huh.
Yeah, so it's somebody else.
Everybody, everybody came over.
She's obsessed with people inspecting stuff
if they come.
This is, um,
you got a wine fridge in there too,
like a chilled wine fridge under like the,
under the island?
Um, under,
it's in her daddies.
Okay.
What?
He does not like,
to spend money, but he
went kind of way out on
his, Chuck Morgan, on his
office. Good. And there
is a bar in there. And there is
a wine fridge in that
under the sink.
Three bars? He's got, wait, in the house
there's three bars? All right, so he's got one
in his office. Where else?
The basement has a whole other kitchen
with an island. Basement's got a bar,
like, yeah, like an entertain. Yeah, okay.
And then there's a bar in
in the outside, back portion is
I love that.
You got a fridge out there too, right?
You got to have a fridge outside.
He's probably got an ice machine out there.
Is Chuck have an ice machine?
Yeah, of course, he's got a leg machine.
What are we talking about it?
Turn the heat on Chuck.
I'm cursing in front of the Southern Belt.
We had never had an ice machine.
That's awesome.
And I thought, and we never had enough ice.
My refrigerator in my other house would just spit out a couple.
And I'd say, Chuck.
You've burned the ice machine.
You could live in an ice machine if you want to do.
Thank y'all.
It makes me feel bad.
No, yeah, I know, but don't.
It's celebrated.
here. I want to be in Chuck's office when he has like a half
of glass of something. I'm yelling at me. Opens up a globe and straightening me out or something
like that. He put you on a budget. He says, do you need to talk to me about
your budget? Let me get you. Let's talk about it. He's got you on a budget still? Um, yeah. Chuck,
what are we doing? Who's shopping now? Who's going to the grocery store? You guys got it delivered?
Yeah, sometimes. And then, um, I do have an assistant now. Very nice. I had two. I had two.
because I'm the mama, and I took care of everybody.
And then so she takes care of things about.
You got to defend it. What are you talking about?
I'd have assistance just to fire him.
You know, listen.
You've earned it.
I mean, come on.
I'm barely at home.
But I do love a grocery store and I like to still go grocery shopping, and I don't want that to end.
Do you have a favorite grocery store that you liked it?
Maybe it's not around you, but you've seen around the country anywhere.
Oh.
What do you like?
We lived in San Antonio when my kids were little.
That's where I got started in stand-up in Austin at Cap City Comedy Club.
You got started at Cap City.
What age did you just start, if you don't mind me asking?
I opened for Billy Gardell the first time I ever worked a club at Zanis in Nashville and I was 32.
Wow.
Or at 33.
She was 18 months old and she's about to turn 20.
You started comedy when...
I was 32 when I started.
Man.
I think that's a good time.
I didn't have Chuck Morgan at home.
You don't got Chuck Lori calling you.
I was very lucky.
I had, I got to, I did horrible gangs like everybody else does, but I got to ski up a lot.
But I had these three little babies.
Of course.
I couldn't drive like 300 miles and make $50 to sleep in my car.
Of course.
But I did other horrible, you know, but hey, listen, you're, you made it 20 years.
It's not like you made it in your first six months.
You made it, but you made it in your early 50s.
But I want people to know that because this is hard.
Stand up is hard.
I will say, I don't think anybody does not know that.
From our perspective.
Tried and true.
Before we had ever met you, you started, we started seeing it.
We were like, have you seen?
A season comic, for sure.
And it's like, you.
100%.
You came into the public spotlight, fully, professionally, complete, like, killer.
Killer, kill.
No joke.
Shoot me straight.
I mean, significantly better than both of us.
You're kidding me?
You'd bury me.
Okay.
Oh, y'all.
Will you sneak?
I'm sorry.
Will you sneak?
snacks into a movie theater if you do go still.
Yes.
Okay.
I have done it all my life in these children.
Oh, yeah.
I'll go into, now we, you know, we'll buy it there too, but I do like to take an M&M.
M&M's.
I love a good peanut M&M.
Okay.
And I'm trying to think of what everybody, some of my kids like sour patches, that kind of thing, and some of them like chocolate.
Okay.
Yeah.
Very nice.
What would be your number one fast food?
Would it be Chick-fil-A?
Wendy's?
I like a Wendy's.
I like a Wendy's hamper.
You do?
I like a Wendy's single.
Uh-huh.
With fries.
Okay.
You think there's going to be more?
But I don't even.
You're going, hey, I'm just getting started.
What else you got?
She hits you with the Wendy single, and you're like, okay.
But I'll tell you, though, I don't think there's one fast food restaurant that I don't like.
I like fast food.
Yeah, me too.
I do.
And I think every hamburger's wonderful in an hour.
And I was living in L.A.
We'd go get an in and out, and that was pretty nitty.
What's the drink?
Diet Coke.
Is there a sweet tea recipe at the house?
Do you guys do sweet tea?
We don't do it a lot, but we, like, I've got a daughter-in-law that loves it, and she'll drink it.
Okay.
I can make it.
And I'll buy it.
But we like an Arnold Palmer.
Nice.
At a big thing.
Very nice.
At a big family thing.
Were you a Crystal Light family growing up?
I was not, but Chuck Morgan.
Oh, not the kids, I don't feel like.
But Chuck Morgan loves a crystal light and keeps it at all times.
Talk about no nonsense guy.
A crystal light man.
Look, I got to meet this guy.
He's going to hate me.
No, he's not.
He's going to love y'all.
He would love y'all.
And won't y'all to come stay with us.
He would.
Let's say, all right, let's live in the house still.
Say we come over.
I'm really angling to come over.
Say we fly back.

But they're going to move into my old house where my boy was raised, and that way they have
their privacy, and there's a yard for the babies with their riding toys.
So you got the new place you kept the old place.

How do you feel about singing happy birthday at a restaurant?
It's okay.

Will you take leftovers home from the restaurant?
Yes.
Okay.
Love a leftover.
Okay.

The pets right now are just the one beagle.
We usually have more than that.
One passed away last year.
And we have not, I know, another, an old beagle that was precious.
But I'm looking for another dog because that little beagle needs somebody.

Chuck Morgan loves a dog and a baby.
So I think it'd be good for Chuck to have another dog.
Huh.

There has been when these children are growing up.
Now it's not built that way.
Okay.
