Starting point is 00:04:13 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.
Starting point is 00:04:28 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.
Starting point is 00:04:44 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.
Starting point is 00:05:15 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.
Starting point is 00:05:32 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
Starting point is 00:05:46 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.
Starting point is 00:06:09 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.
Starting point is 00:06:16 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.
Starting point is 00:06:36 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.
Starting point is 00:06:50 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
Starting point is 00:07:22 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.
Starting point is 00:07:38 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.
Starting point is 00:08:00 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.
Starting point is 00:08:09 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?
Starting point is 00:08:19 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.
Starting point is 00:08:33 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.
Starting point is 00:08:49 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,
Starting point is 00:09:08 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.
Starting point is 00:09:27 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.
Starting point is 00:09:46 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.
Starting point is 00:10:01 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.
Starting point is 00:10:21 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.
Starting point is 00:10:36 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.
Starting point is 00:10:51 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.
Starting point is 00:11:13 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.
Starting point is 00:11:31 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.
Starting point is 00:11:49 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.
Starting point is 00:12:00 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.

Starting point is 00:25:12 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
Starting point is 00:25:27 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
Starting point is 00:25:46 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?
Starting point is 00:26:02 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.
Starting point is 00:26:10 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.
Starting point is 00:26:28 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.
Starting point is 00:26:50 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.
Starting point is 00:27:04 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.
Starting point is 00:27:37 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.
Starting point is 00:27:47 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.
Starting point is 00:28:04 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.
Starting point is 00:28:17 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.
Starting point is 00:28:24 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.
Starting point is 00:28:36 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.
Starting point is 00:28:53 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.
Starting point is 00:29:04 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
Starting point is 00:29:44 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.
Starting point is 00:30:11 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
Starting point is 00:30:39 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.

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.

Starting point is 00:33:42 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.
Starting point is 00:33:57 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.
Starting point is 00:34:15 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.
Starting point is 00:34:31 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.
Starting point is 00:34:46 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?
Starting point is 00:35:04 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.

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.

Starting point is 00:43:27 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?
Starting point is 00:43:55 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.
Starting point is 00:44:07 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.
Starting point is 00:44:18 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.
Starting point is 00:44:34 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?
Starting point is 00:44:46 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.

Starting point is 00:45:21 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
Starting point is 00:45:37 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.
Starting point is 00:45:46 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.
Starting point is 00:46:02 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,

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.
Starting point is 00:46:51 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.
Starting point is 00:47:06 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...
Starting point is 00:47:25 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.
Starting point is 00:47:43 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.
Starting point is 00:48:02 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%.
Starting point is 00:48:16 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.
Starting point is 00:48:31 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.
Starting point is 00:48:43 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.
Starting point is 00:49:01 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.

Starting point is 00:49:25 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?

Starting point is 00:49:56 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.
