Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it.

We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, S&L's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform?

We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Why are we all so obsessed with romance? On the Radio 831 podcast, join us, Sanjana Basker and Tyler McCall,

as we unpack all the trending tropes, fuzzy adaptations, book talk drama, and celebrity love stories with hot takes and sharp guests. Each episode digs into what these stories reveal about desire, fantasy, identity, and how we love now. Listen to the Radio 831 podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts Derek was in that locker room today

wearing all pink. I believe it. It was looking fire though. I remember the time he came in I was wearing all yellow with like some SpongeBob Nike's on. Are we rolling this thing or no? That's the deal.

Press the start button. We gotta press the start button to know that we're going, boss. We know the rule number one. We know the rule. There's a rumor going around about Derek that Jordan Ruse asked Derek. He's like, do you ever wear the same outfit twice?

And Derek said, yeah, I wear the same outfit twice. But Loki, I've never seen him wear the same outfit twice. I've never seen him wear the same outfit twice. Never. Now, obviously traveling, he's probably not wearing the same outfit twice. But I want to know if he's just wearing his casual clothes. You know what I mean?

I know he doesn't wear the same like travel outfit twice. I know that for sure. But that is just one subject of plenty of subjects you're going to hear on the best above average podcast you've ever heard in your entire life, presented by the best vehicle on the road, the Chevy Silverado. We know that every team starts the season undefeated for the first month. Everyone has a shot, but one team has already won it all. That team is Chevy, and it's star player, the Silverado. According to JD Power, Chevy is the most awarded brand of new vehicle quality,

and Chevy Trucks has won more vehicle quality awards than any other brand. That's some serious hardware. What? You're doing great. Thanks, ma'am. But champions don't stop. They keep moving forward, and that's what Silverado is all about. From the LT model to the most extreme Silverado ever,

the Z. Whoa, just bit my tongue when I was trying to say that word. The ZR2, Chevy gave a Silverado a new interior with large infotainment screen with a large er infotainment screen and digital instrument cluster. They gave it towing technology and up to 14 available camera views.

We've talked about that's a lot of views, but you need all the views you do in this world right now. It's always truck season here at Bustin, but now it's also tailgate season, tailgate season. And what a better way to roll up to a tailgate than in Chevy Sovarado boasting a larger, more functional bed than any other competitor. Head over to Chevy.com to learn more about Chevy Silverado for JD Power 2020 U.S.

award information. Visit jd.power.com slash awards. One take. Dude, that was one take, but look, yeah, I did read it over. So it's all good, dude. So anyway, back to these hard-hitting things. Yeah, I've never seen Derek wear the same outfit twice. Yeah, I really don't think he has.

And I think with him telling Roo's like, yeah, man, I do it. he's lying. Yeah, but what a flex to not wear the same outfit twice. And he has some fire fits. For sure, he's the king. He's the king. He's the fucking king.

Why don't you draft him in fantasy then? Going up this week, oh, tailgates. It's a business. It's a business. There's a lot of variables. We did the fantasy draft yesterday. Did the fantasy draft yesterday

with the boys. Derek went to two overall. To team Luan. To Team Luan. What's your team name? Team Luan. Team Luan. Just fucking, just keep it straight, baby.

This is us. This is what we're doing. I love that. Did you now, was Derek there? Yes. Did you draft him because he was there? Absolutely not. I would never do that.

It's a business. And if I had to, I looked Derek and I had to say it was. I think like you, like you're... I said you my team. You see what kind of heat I'm dealing with. You got a good squad. I just think that, you know... I called all the boys in.

During the combine, I'll tell you about the combine. There's a thing called the train station. You go in there. They do a bunch of interviews and there's formal interviews. I had formal interviews with all of these. guys brought them over to my facility, showed them who's who in the zoo and what's going on around here. We had a good talk,

learned about their person, I learned about their family. Not only do I have a great team, I got a bunch of good character guys, too. A lot of guys that are going to get this franchise to the top. So shout out Team Luan. What's your team name? Bontar Biscuits.

That's original. That's a fun name. That's an awesome man. I know you think that. You know, it's kind of like a nod to the boys. It's a nod to a group chat, obviously. When Talladea Nights comes out and he said,

magic man, he goes, one. Like anybody kind of hated it at first? That's where I was just now. That's a stupid name. I was going to come around to that. What it is?

I think you're jealous. One thing that's going to make me jealous this week is you guys are tailgating 1 p.m. at Acne Feeding Seed. All the boys come on down. See him. Even if you're a New York Giants fan, dude, and you want to get a little piece of what Nashville is all about. The best way to start is on first and broad at Agmi Feeding Seed.

From the top, you can see Daddy's Office and what he's doing there on Sundays. Cannot wait to call the boys after the game. They're going to want to talk about football. I'm only going to be one to talk about how did that tailgate go. Did the boys love the merch? I think we're doing something special, right? There's something that talks to the first hundred or something. The vibes are going to be up.

There's a really good collab going on. You're the king of the viz. From Whistle Pig. There's going to be cocktails there. There's going to be giveaways. We're going to do it up. The boys are going to be there. That shirt Taylor's wearing.

Those are going to be on sale. Yes. The new shirts that we made, the lightning, all of those will be there. They'll be on sale. So if you're waiting on them in the mail right now, and you think they might get there a little late. you need to cop one before the game, you can do that ag-me feed and seed.

Absolutely. But it's going to be a great time. There's nothing. There's not a better feeling in my body than when I jog out on the field right before the game starts and I see a bunch of bustling with the boys' flags, a bunch of 77 jerseys

and any type of bust and merch out there. For a moment, I just fucking, I just smile and I get back into business, you know? But that's got a, like, I know that that feels good because you see like each year there are more and more flags to come about. Everybody's yelling, the boys, this and then.

The energy's good, man. The energies. What I actually just thought of is remember, got them hitters out. Dunkeys. Dude, remember the first year, we did the tailgates over in that parking lot? And you would, like, drive by

and honk your horn and stuff like that, and we'd FaceTime and everything else. Yeah. There'd be a couple, like, lower ones, but then there'd be a few where there's, like, several hundred people there. God. It was so beautiful.

How far we've came. How far we've come, dude. How far we've come. Let's see how far we've come. Let's see how far we've come. Let's see. How far we've come And I believe in all

It's going to do it And oh well I guess we're gonna pretend That's in the See how far we've come Oh yeah See how far we've come Speaking of coming, dude

The merch is coming, bro It's coming and it's gonna fucking hit Everybody right in the face Or somewhere on the body, dude That is where we are going We got fire hitter merch coming out You're wearing it? It's already out

Not coming out. It's out. It's out. Serial lies detected. And also, dude, a lot of guys coming for their division. Everyone's coming for the division. I will now bow out of this. And I love to hear Will make some enemies and some friends at the same time. We're talking about who's going to hear what you think. Division this year?

Yes. Let's start with the AFC North. In the AFC North, you have the Ravens, the Bengals, the Browns, and the Steelers. Dude, that is a solid division. Joey B. Lamar Jackson. Well, not top the bottom. One to three, it's a very gritted division.

I think number four, who's not going to make it or the Cleveland Browns this year. Wolf. They're going to have a very dark cloud over them all year long. That is my opinion. Or towel. I think who's taking the AFC North? Who's third? I like to hear them all.

Okay. So Brown's at four. Browns at four. Heartbreak. And then I think it's just going to be a battle. Maybe you might get, like, I could easily see the Bengals Steelers and Ray fighting for three teams in the playoffs. Wow.

Just like I could in the AFC West between the Raiders, Chargers, and Chiefs. But I think it's going to be the Bengals come out on top. I think Joey B. just continues to fucking elevate. He's going to be ripping Stogeys after every game. He's going to have them like tint and color shades on

when he steps off the bus. He's got, you know the boy's got the dog in him. I think number two is going to be the Steelers. Najee Harris, I think, is going to have an incredible year. He was something I wish I could have grabbed in fantasy because I know they're going to feed him 25 to 30 times a game. And the Steelers just promoted Mr. Steelio girl, Mitchell Trubisky.

Yeah, Mr. B. Shout out the boy. That's the only reason where you can see the Ravens taken two just because I'm not sure how that dynamic is going to be with Mitch Trubisky. Well, also, U.S. of history. But if, I'll say this, if they get a deal done with Lamar Jackson, you can see Lamar Jackson, the Ravens start to skyrocket that number two competing for possibly number one.

But what I'm saying is the Bengals are taking this division. The AFC East between the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, and New York Jets. The Jets, they're going to be the same old Jets. Patriots, I think they're going to have a down year as well. However, they could be surprising. They're going to be in a lot of dog fights. They're going to play a lot of defense. I think who's the, what's the quarterback's name?

Mack Jones, because I kept thinking Mack Brown. Mac Jones, I think he's, you know, he's a student in the game. He's going to be a clock manager. Belichick's always going to have some up his sleeve. The Dolphins could make a big jump. However, the fucking Buffalo Bills are taking that division fairly easily. I think they're probably the favorite to win the Super Bowl right now. Do you think dolphins?

We'll unpack that letter. We'll unpack that litter. There's nothing known bad, bro. It's not, it's not the personal. You think dolphins make a big jump, Tyree Kill? I think they can, bro. Like, they have Tyree Kill. They got two, I think two is a plowl.

What's the name of their titan? He's a stud. That's who I was trying to think of. Giseki. Mike Jaseki? Mike Jaseki. I don't know if it's Gaseki or Gaseki. He wants to Notre Dame, yeah?

Huh? He was the Notre Dame? Um. Don't fact check. I'm pretty sorry I see you with him and Quentin Nelson one time. Nice boy. Yeah. Like,

Dolphins got some talent. Yeah. It's just, you know, you just don't know if they're going to, Dolphins, they don't have a track record of being like a good team every year. Yeah.

AFC South, obviously, I think the boys are going to win that one. I do think you guys are going to compete with the Colts. Jaguars, I think Houston, Texas are going to suck. Jaguars,

I think Trevor Lawrence can make a nice little jump going in a year, too. I would like to see a little bit more action. I'm still uncomfortable being in this room right now. I know. So, Yeah, it's all good. You can't sign none for able. We know you're a tier one.

We know you list of this stuff. The boy, he's not going to comment on any of this stuff. AFC West, the fucking Raiders are winning this division. And I do think, boys, my hot take of the NFL season, the Chiefs are not making the playoffs. Raiders are going to win. Chargers are going to get in as well in that wild card spot because I think the charge are going to be nice. I also think the Broncos are pretty fucking good. And I just don't think the Chiefs are making the playoffs this year.

That's my hot take of the year. They're not even making the fucking playoffs. Fuck you, Travis Kelsey. NFC North. You're never going to get Pat Mahomes on this bus. Pat Mahomes, the Pat Mahomes shares, I feel like he's already left us.

My man followed me on Twitter last year. It was a sad day. It was a bad day. We're just going to move on. Unless you were able to get him on. NFC North. The Bears, Lions, Packers, Vikings. Not a whole lot of education on this one, do you?

A lot of history in these teams, though. Yeah, a lot of history in these teams. I think who's going to come out on top in this division. the Minnesota Vikings. Oh my. I do. I think the Minnesota Vikings. All ties with past guests.

Yeah. He already got them on the bus. Hang on now. I do think Green Bay, yeah, I think Green Bay is going to make the wild card. Like, I think they're still going to be a good team. I just think Minnesota, I'm a big fan of Kevin O'Connell.

Coming from L.A., I was with him in Washington. He comes from that same mold of McVeigh, Lafleur, Shanahan, all those boys. I think Kevin O'Connell. Justin Jefferson's going to be the Black Cooper Cup in that offense. So I think they're going to make a lot of noise with Kirk Cousins, Dauvin Cook, all them boys, I think Minnesota's taking it.

NSE East, I think, you know, again, I'm cutting ties. Like, this is not personal. I'm rooting for the fucking commanders. But I think the favorite coming out of the east is the Philadelphia Eagles. I think all the weapons they've added. They continue to add. They traded for what's his name, that cornerback down in New Orleans. You can tell that they're trying to win, like, right now.

So I think Philly's the favorite Come out of there. The NFC South, I think Tom Brady, this is where he starts to diminish. This is where his downfall starts. They've been saying it for years. They've been saying it for years.

I think now at 40, how old is he? I think he's 44. 44, 45. At 44 years old, Tom Brady's going to start withering your way. Fucking love Tom Brady. New Orleans Saints are coming out of that division. It's been a week there.

Doesn't matter. What about Arthur Smith and the Falcons? Yeah, listen. again, I'm not saying the Saints because it's like a personal thing. Like I'm trying to remove myself as much as possible. Every single team you've been associated with,

you've picked to win the division. I was not a, I was not an affiliate with the Eagles. Commander, Commander, you're right, you're right. And I have more, like, I want all my guys to win at Green Bay. What do you mean? Lafleur, Basacha, Joe Barry, K-O. Yeah, but you didn't play that.

Aaron Rogers, my boy? Aaron Rogers, your boy? Yeah, that's my boy. He's going to go and Iow-Jewks trips together. We said we were going to get a motorcycle gang whenever he moves here. Yeah, but it's not a morsel game if there's three wheels.

Yeah, but we're still going to be boys. You know what I'm saying? Two wheels are nothing, dude. We're still going to be running the same crew. You're going to be part of that crew. I don't know why you're like... I'm not getting a trike. I will not.

You'll get a fucking trick. You'll do what I fucking tell you. NFC West. NFC. West, I think I think the Niners are going to take that. Oh, my. I think there's a lot of question marks Blossy, and I know you're back there.

I know you're kind of fired up right now. You just went 12 to midnight with that pick. But I think, I think, um, six to midnight. Six to midnight. I think, uh, there's a lot of question marks surrounding, Ray Lance.

However, on paper, that roster is absolutely loaded. I think the defense is really good. Jeffer Debo. I think they stay healthy. You guys have arguably the best roster outside of the quarterback position out there. So those are my picks.

We interrupt this episode to bring you Whistle Pig. Bonnie and Clyde, Butch Cassidy and Sundance, Taylor Luan, and Will Compton. But the next legendary duo is Whistlepigs, piggyback 100% wry and their new piggyback 100 proof bourbon. Always

keeping it 100. Whistle pig match their piggyback 100% rye with their piggyback 100 proof bourbon whiskey piggyback 100 proof bourbon stands taller and bolder than the pack. No other bourbon and rye duo on the market offers this big of

Shop. Dot whistlepig whiskey.com or at a local retailer. I apologize, whistle pig. I really, I love your stuff. I think it's unbelievable. The boys just having a hard time reading the eyes are going. With that being said, give us the AFC-NFC Super Bowl matchup and winner.

Okay. And coach of the year. All right. All right. So my Super Bowl prediction? Give us AFC Championship and NFC Championship prediction first. Hey, act like I'm not here. Okay.

Say less. No, dude, this is tough. Like, I do think the bills are the favorites. Like, what my heart wants in the AFC Championship game, clearly the Titans and the Raiders. In the NFC, the championship game, I want the Packers and the Niners. That's what I, these are the selfish things I want in these.

Isn't it the NFC championship every year? Pretty much. Yeah, but I love it. Like, again, like, I want, I want Bessacci and them boys to do fucking, to do awesome. I would love to see Green Bay actually go to Super Bowl. So who do you got in the AFC championship, not what you want, what you think is going to happen? Raiders. And?

Raiders are going to. coming from the NFC? No, no. Who's going to be the AFC championship game? Yeah, Raiders and Titans. So you just went on this whole kick about the bills and now you're jumping ship?

Yeah, but you guys are wanting my personal, like... No, I just ask you what you think is going to happen. Do you want my, like, very objective, unbiased opinion? Very objective, unbiased opinion. Okay, I'm going to say the bills and... I'll say the Bills and the Raiders. And then in the NFC, I'm going to say... I'm going to say the...

Yeah, Packers and Niners. And then... then who goes? I think the Raiders and Packers go, and then the Raiders win the Super Bowl. All right. And so I think happens this year in 20, 22. All right.

Who's, uh, let's transition as fast as possible. Who's, uh, so, uh. So who's our guest this week, Larry at the Kilmer? I, um, I'd say, yeah,

yeah. What's up? Is there anything you want to say before we just shut that down? No, I don't think, I think the boys are going to catch themselves a playoff win this year. Look, at the end of the day,

I just told you who I want to be in the championship game. I'm caping you guys. Who do you want to win that AFC championship game? Out of you and the Raiders? I think that's just where I fall back and let the chips fall where they may. Because look, that's like you asking me

who's going to win the college football, who's going to win the national title this year? Like, I'm not going to say the fucking Nebraska Cornhuskers. I want them to win. you know where my heart is. Like, you know, I live and die by them boys. Just like I live and die by you guys.

Like, I'm not, this is, this is, this is bulletin board material. This is fuel for you guys. Will, do you think Brable's really thinking to himself busting, what the boys is going to be bolting board material for him? Absolutely. Why would he not? Oh, Will's really talking shit.

He really don't think I got it like that. He said, I got it like that. Like, Brable's what to go out there. Well, fuck, that, um, that went exactly how I expected it to go. This week, another piece of, to FOMO for the Boy. I feel like that's my slogan for Bustin with the Boys this season is FOMO. Layer the Cable Guy. Blue Collar Comedy Tour, an amazing comedian. You were in Nebraska. You interviewed

him. Yeah, it was incredible. It was everything you thought it'd be. Without going into the subjects of the podcast everyone's about to watch, just give me the vibe on the boy. Without going into the subjects? I mean, I can cover the subjects. I can touch them, right? Go ahead. Don't touch. So it was kind of one of those things where we were setting up the tailgate before a little bit before I'm scrambling trying to figure out all right we won him for 20 to 30 minutes probably it ended up going like what 50 gotta love that gotta love that yeah it was awesome but we were thinking about okay because we wanted to be at the at the tailgate for the unity walk and we only had like a certain

amount of time so there's a little bit of that like frantic living inside of me on like all right how am I going to handle this I can end up with the robot question that we asked at the end that brought to you guys by the tail of the one but the vibe on Larry the Cable Guy or Dan Whitney, as he wanted to be called during the episode, it was everything you wanted, bro. It was like he's talking blue-collar comedy tour. He's telling stories about back in the blue-collar comedy tour days.

I asked him if there's a chance of us seeing the blue-collar comedy tour happen again. I will let you guys listen. I can tell you after the... Are you going to listen to the episode? I'm going to listen to the episode. Because you're a tier one. 100%. Well, I can't be a tier one.

I feel like to be a tier one, you have to be like fans. And I'm your friend. What do you mean? You're my friend. Like, this is your book. Yeah,

like, that's our podcast. You know what I'm saying? It's like, I feel like I can be a fan. I'm your friend. Yeah. So.

But, but, you're keeping him. It was legitimately like everything you'd want, bro. Like you're sitting around and he got into so many stories, like how Larry the cable guy started.

Because, again, it throws you off when that's not his real accent. But you learn about his, like, his like humble beginnings in comedy that he was getting known more for impersonations than he was his actual stand-up comedy. Not that he thought it was bad. He's like, I just end up learning along the way. People would be, you know, you guys will listen to it in the episode.

He talked about how people are just yelling. We want Larry the cable guy and he would have to just, he just leaned into this character throughout the rest of his career. But it was awesome. Then he talked about what else? Yeah, he was a massive Raiders fan. Matter of fact, he continued to like want to tell. extra stories about his Raiders fandom. Because he would, like, make old, like,

the team from the 1976 Super Bowl, how he was making them laugh. And it was just, like, his favorite moment of all time. He talked about how he's selling out stadiums with the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. It was cool, man. Then he, obviously, with your question, he rates the Comedy Tour guys,

give some nice little stories on each one of them. God. But it was good. It was really cool. We were going to get into his car's role. Broke some dude's fucking arm. Ex-military. Ex-military arm wrestling at a Nebraska game, right?

Yeah, in the street. Dude wanted to arm wrestling. Breaks this motherfucker's arm. So he talks about the story, like, with that. Oh, shit. I can't wait to listen. Yeah. But the vibes were up.

Larry Dan, he's a cool dude. He's awesome. I love it. That fires me up. And he's like, anytime you guys come out, like, let me know. I'll hook it up. And I was telling him, like, when he comes to Nashville, I was like, I know the boy, like, I know Taylor wanted to be a part of this.

So you have to, we want you to come on the bus. 100%. 100% that fires me up. Because he gave us a massive shoutout. He did the Big Ten tailgate before, and all the Big Ten media people were like, oh, what are you going after this? He said, I'm going to go do this podcast, Bustin with the boys. Oh, you're going on Bustin with the boys?

Oh, Bay 10 Network. Yeah. They're talking about how they're like, all them boys are doing it big. Like it's blowing up, yada, yada, yada. Oh, wow. So he's like congratulating us on something obviously massive that we've made. Yeah. Not only is the Big Ten, the best conference in the NCAA,

but it's also the best community, seems like. Yeah. Dude, when we were at when we were getting lunch, lunch. When we were getting lunch, bro, the Big Ten Network, they were doing like a, like, Best Burger in the Big Ten. And they were at the same restaurant that we were at. So they came over and did like a collaboration. Like we were in whatever they're doing. Yeah, we had to, I had to act a little bit. Did you? Yeah. Getting ready for the movie. How to go. Yeah. Get ready for the movie. Oh, hey, easy, easy. Easy. You're rid by Cameron Dutty. Easy. Whoa,

whoa, whoa. Tyler Boyd. Tyler Boyd. Taylor Boyd. Taylor Boyd. The boys are doing quite well, considering like the Big Ten shout out, Larry the cable guy, and then also Joe Rogan trying to de-platform us. Have you not heard about that? No. I'm off social media. Go ahead, JP. Grab the mic.

Holy. Essentially, however you want to chime in, JP, but so you know how we had the Aaron Rogers episode last Tuesday? Yes. We dropped that episode, I had it in the bag, for probably a month long. Everybody knew we were dropping it, just specifically. Joe turns around and drops his Aaron Rogers podcast a few days before ours.

Wow. On purpose. Yeah. Yeah. Trying to take our audience. I think he might have dropped the eyes emojis when he tweeted about it too. Yeah. And so I did a little video talking about Joe Rogan and the beef with busts with the boys.

And so we, you know, it's kind of like the whole like let bygots be bygones. He's acting like he's not paying attention to us, seeing us from afar. And we kind of let the week, the week gets away from us. We go to Nebraska. We're not even thinking about Rogan. So come around to this episode we just dropped today You guys listen now it's Thursday We're recording this on Tuesday

The pod with VitaVey and Levanti David It doesn't go up on Spotify But it goes up everywhere else But it goes up everywhere else Oh no And what do you know? Joe Rogan behind the whole thing Not wanting us to

Like apparently Sounds like Joe's doing everything he's against Yeah which is like In his circle he lifts up all of his guys But apparently now I don't know if this is factual It's just what I'm hearing our podcast is like coming up on his a little bit. And so he kind of wants to like...

He feels a little bit of pressure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. He's trying to suppress us a little bit. Get our attention. It's understandable. Yeah, I mean, if he's at the top of the mountain for so long and then he sees a couple young cats.

Thundercats. Thundercats. Great TV show, by the way. Yeah. Yeah. A couple guys coming up the ranks. I'm sure it hurts. I'm sure hurts him a little bit. JP thinks he's trying to just get us on his podcast.

You think so? That's the ultimate play. Because why else would you do this? Yeah. Because he's not going to get your attention any other way. So you're thinking he's going to try to silence us enough where we say, okay, Joe, we'll come on. Right.

I think it's a genius move because it ultimately creates the biggest beef the podcasting game has ever seen. Ever seen. And then if we're de-platformed, we then go on his show, does record numbers. Yeah. And then we'll probably be back after that. There's really no holding us back if that happens. Right.

Yeah, if we go on Rogan, then he has no choice but to let us come back to Spotify. Mm-hmm. So. I agree. And I think Joe's just got the wrong impression of us because I think, he'd like us. I think he's afraid of what he can't see. He doesn't know us. So there's no way for him to really like dislike or like us based on what we put out there.

Which is surprising given that he's usually not scared. Yeah. And he's scared a tough word to hear because you don't want the ego to flare up with Joe. But there's kind of, I can't find a better word. Yeah. I mean, fear's not usually a factor with Joe Rogan. No. Which is a great play too because the show Fear Factor. That was actually outstanding. That clicked in my head. I was hoping I thought of the fear thing first, but I couldn't, so I just said scared. Yeah.

But, man. So Joe's trying to take down bustling with the boys. That's what we're getting out of this. What a way to do this intro. I really didn't think we were going to get down this. Yeah. Well, did I know some guy, a reason why we started a podcast because of our love for the Joe Rogan podcast. Hey, when your heroes become your enemies.

Yeah. Here we are. When your idols become your rivals. That's tough, man. Oh, shout on, no for shout out of the week? Let's go. Is it time? Garrett is, uh,

Garrett, we're right to start this podcast and Garrett goes, you guys go ahead, I'm going to count this merch. So that's the big play he put on us today. He's coming in. He's coming in. Is the boy coming?

We go count this merch, baby. I'm going to go count this merch, doggy. Oh, you're in a meeting with who? Merch. Oh, he's counting the merch, dude. He's counting that merch out. He's counting that merch out. Got to be plenty of merch at the tailgate this week?

Plenty of merch. What if we sell out? Are we doing something? nice. A polythra of merchandise. We're doing something special. Yeah, a date with playoff Willie. Dude's only. Dude's only. And they got to take him somewhere nice, too.

None of that Applebee's bullshit. Although, shout out Applebee's. Actually, it's actually a fire meal. I was talking about, I was talking about like a steakhouse or something. But yeah. Chili's or Applebee's. The Appetizer trio. Can't miss. Yes, sir. Can't fucking miss, dude. We interrupt this episode to shout out Ridge Wall and no free shoutouts, boys.

so we will start it without him. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our favorite segment of the week. Now we're doing two at a time because we're doing two podcasts a week. Is this the last week we doing that? This is the last week. So the last time you're going to be able to indulge and shout out, no, for shout out of the week.

As always, we're starting with him. We mild will just call him him. Senor Blas. What you got, dude? What you got? This week goes to a feature that was introduced to the iPhone. He's getting more confident. You can tell when he starts talking.

You can see he's really taking his job seriously. All right. This feature was introduced in 2014. It has saved my life thousands of times, but more importantly, it saved it today. When I was on my way to the bus, I realized I looked at my tank. It was on E. And I was like, man, how am I going to make it on E? I looked at the little gauge, it said, low on fuel.

You know, you don't even have anything left more than probably five miles before things actually had. So I went, looked in my back pocket, didn't fill my wallet. I was like, damn, I forgot my wallet. That's a bad thing. That's a hard feeling. But a lot of anxiety in that. I realized I had Apple Pay on my phone. Wow.

I pulled into the gas station. That was one. I went into the gas station. Not all of them except Apple Pay, but this one specifically. did and it saved my ass and I was able to make it here. So my shout out, no free shoutout goes to Apple Pay. Oh my. Now, do you want to say the gas station or do you want to leave that up?

No free shoutouts. No free shoutouts in the gas station. Ready to go, boss. He can tell he's really getting more confident. Yeah. He can tell. And I don't know. He didn't even clear his throat.

He did. Yeah, he did clear. I don't know if your shout is going to be depo Samuel. For his week. For just being him. For just being him. All right. Next is the man with the fattest chain on this.

bus right now. I'm pretty sure it costs $43 and he bought it at Keats cut the ball. And my man is looking fresh to death. The Mith Milt Miltf Hunter himself, Jack McPherson. So my shoutout, no free shoutout goes to trips with the boys. Obviously, we just had one in Nebraska,

but more specifically for me, we're going to a bachelor party this weekend. So shout out to my boy, Bobby Bell. He's getting married here in about three weeks. We're heading out to Zona. We're going to Scottsdale. and we're going to get after it, you know, some questionable decisions will be made. Hopefully no one gets arrested, no major injuries. But we got a solid Airbnb.

We're planning on a really nice golf course Thursday. Maybe a little surprise here and there for my boy, but, you know, can't let that out right now. We got to wait. We might recap next week. But yeah, shout out to one boy, Bobby. And shout out, no free shout out to trips with the boys, this bachelor party. It's going to be electric. We got 10 of our best friends there flying out Thursday morning.

couldn't be more excited. So, and y'all know the camaraderie, the energy, especially that first day of the trip, when you're just there and it's like, there's no end in sight. You know, we might be here forever. Who really knows? And then the harsh reality sets in about a day later,

but you don't think about that. All you think about is the night ahead, the good drinks, the good times, the good vibes. So shout out, no free shout out to trips with the boys and my boy, Bobby Bell. Bobby Bell, dude, fucking shout out Bobby Bell. And also have as much fun as possible, Bobby, because statistically, it's a coin flip.

if you're going to make it or not, buddy. So just soak that shit in and really get after it. But hope you guys have a great time. Scottsdale. What a place to have a bachelor party. Yeah. What an absolute place. You know, Scott'sdale, we've got to be ready for next year, the Super Bowl being there,

with waste management. All that going on that week. Wait, that's where it is this year? Yeah. Yeah. Two balls in Scottsdale. Same week of the waste management tournament. And I like to have a little pause.

My last game in high school was at Cardinal Stadium, state championship. My last game in college was in Arizona. Hold on. Yeah, for sure. The stars are aligning did. I don't know. I don't know.

Go ahead, JP. Let's see what you got, baby. Let's see what you got. Mine, similar to Jack, is when you become, my shout-out, no-free shout-out goes to when you become boys with your boys' boy. Oh.

And, you know, you're like, who it made me think of it, not that we became boys, but Adi. Audi is like super cool. And you felt like I was clicking with them or whatever. And then it just made me think of some of my college friends when I went to visit them in college. Yeah. I'd heard about all their friends. And then you get up there and you meet them. And they're all super dope and you become boys.

Yeah. Your boy's boy. Yes. That's my shout out. God, that's a beautiful shout out. It is a good free shout out. No free shout out, I mean. My shout-out, no free shout-out, goes to when you know you're about to fuck up a tasty meal.

Yes, I said that, brother. When you know you're a little hungry. Yes, I said that, brother. You know when you're a little hungry and whether you're ordering out, going to a restaurant, and you got that little starvation going on, and you order whatever's on the menu or, you know, the Uber Eats or Postmates, I'm not giving any free shout-out to them, but Uber Eats or Postmates, they're bringing over that tasty meal that you order that you just can't wait to fuck up. And that vibe, when they drop it off and it's finally time to go,

it's finally time to get after it. Yeah. Get after them cheeks. Yeah, get after them cheeks. And you know you open the bag or again, if you're at a restaurant that coming down and you've been, I'm salivating right now talking about it. I need to take a swallow. But that is my shout, I know for shout out of the week.

The vibe and mindset of knowing you're going to fuck up a tasty meal. you're going to eat that thing clean. Yeah, you're looking at the bowl. It's not going to stand a chance, huh? No chance. No, dude. Then you're looking to your left and right, hey, you're going to finish that. Oh.

Yeah. And you're taking off, you're taking extra bites from other people's meals. Right, right, right. To the point to where after the meal's over, you're kind of like, fuck what I do that. Yeah. But not then. Yeah, not the vibe you're talking about right now. When we were at lead bellies, we know all that stuff was coming out with the burgers,

the appetizers, those Philly spring rolls now. And we were hungry going into that meal. Boys were hungry? It's like when you're sitting there and you're kind of like... Boys were hungry? Yeah, boys were hungry. The boys were hungry. Will just go silent and you just hear breathing.

He does breathe weird when he eats, huh? Especially he's a hungry boy. No question about it, dude. No question. I love that. That's your shoutout, no free shout out of the week. Because mine is a little different. I'm excited.

My shout out and no free shout out of the week is a twist of emotions. You're at an event, a catered event. And you see a couple of sandwiches out there. a couple of sand those. And you go over, you're excited. Maybe there's a couple extra topics on there. Maybe you make it yourself type deal. Unfortunately, it's not.

It's just bread and turkey and cheese or whatever. It's super bland. And there's really nothing you can do about it other than you look to your right. And at the end of the table, what do you see? No. The best possible thing you can put on your sandwich. And we can be at any age when you learn this. You can be a five-year-old, watch your dad do it.

Maybe you're a teenager and you see one of your friends. do it and you think to yourself, what a fucking blessing. It's potato chips. When you take those potato chips and you put it on your sandwich, put a little crunch in your lunch. Changing that bland sandwich and with a little more texture, I think that you can't beat that. My shout,

I don't know for a shout of the week is when you find those potato chips and you put it on your sandwich. That's a good one. Thanks, Mom. Uh-oh, what? Blasso, should we tell them? No, it was... The boss is concerned because that was a similar shout.

at one point, I don't even think you were here. I shouted out that in a way, but it was when you're on the beach and you have chips on a sandwich, which is a totally different atmosphere. You're talking about... Hang on now. That's not that different. But, like, yeah, if he's not here, then he doesn't know. He doesn't know any better. I'm good with it.

By the way, hey, since you brought it up, shout out Beach Vives, dude. You can't fucking beat the Beach Fives. Let's go, dude. Fucking love Beach Fives. I love it. Hey, a lot of stuff we just unpacked here. The number one thing that's really on my heart right now is the Joe Rogan thing. Yeah, I can't believe you didn't even hear the rumors of that. Well, you know. I thought it was like kind of the talk of...

I don't watch the news, and I'm not on social media, so there's no way for me to really know that. Yeah, but all the boys in the locker room, like, I know they saw it. They were probably mumbling. There's a lot of guys mumbling when I would walk by today, and that's probably what they were talking about. Hey, man, did you see this shit? Joe Rogan? He's probably upset. Yeah.

That type of thing, so... Well... Oh, I had one question. If you were on the Indianapolis Colts, and sitting drafting with the boys on the O'Line. Quentin Nelson's there. Jonathan Taylor's there and you got the second overall pick. Who you're taking?

Derek. No, you're taking Jonathan Taylor. Because that's how you are. Here from the rafters. Amen. You got the blind loyalty to the boys. Listen, there's something you do in fantasy when you're in the NFL will and that's fucking bet on your boys, dude.

And that's what I'm doing. Not with money. Free Calvin Ridley. Free Calvin Ridley. not with money. Craig, Calvin Ridley. Fucking bet with the boys, dude. And I'm on the Derek Henry train.

Let's go. Kind of weird you have to throw that NFL coming at me. Oh, I was just saying a statement. It had nothing to do with you. If you took it that way, I think it's more between you and you. I'm just saying, I think you just said when you're in the NFL

and looked at me. Well, I'm talking to you. Yeah, but why could it have been, as you know, being in the NFL? Could have been a lot of things, but that's not how I said it. Should we get into the Larry the Cable Guy episode? I think it's time to get into the later of the cable guy episode.

You know what I'm saying? after this ad will's about to read. What do we got? Georgia Boot. Right there. Oh. We interrupt this episode. There's no one we've forced. We're still in it. We interrupt this episode.

You got a little text. Jack Harlow might come on the podcast. Really? I'm just saying. Enjoy this episode. Let's figure this out. There's zero formality to starting the pod. Matter of fact, I think we're growing right now.

Oh, we're starting good. Hopefully we caught that back half to where... I mean, I can tell the story again if you want to. Should he? Or do you feel like we got it? I'm sorry, why I didn't know we were starting? We just learned that, first off, what do you prefer name-wise?

You know what? Listen, you might say it doesn't matter, but what do you prefer? I'm doing this. Dan's perfectly good for this. Okay. I always tell you Larry, the cable guy makes good money, and I spend it. Larry makes money to dance and so it's not a big deal. But we just learned about Dan that you're a big Raiders fan.

Yeah, I grew up a Raider fan ever since I was five years old. And back when I, Daryl and Monica. And so I did one of my favorite shows I ever did in my entire life. was I did this show in California, big amphitheater, outdoor, great scene. It's not there anymore. It was an unbelievable venue. So I get there, and I didn't play golf then. I hated golf.

As a matter of fact, at that time, I didn't play golf. They kept asking me if I wanted to go to the pairings party. I said, I don't want to go to pair. I don't you know what it is. I'm not going to parent's party. And then about two hours before showtime, I said, I just want to go hang out backstage, go over some jokes. Look at this singer.

It's really pretty. She comes to get us. She goes, she should have went to the parents. Parryans party. They were asking about you. I go, what is a parents party? And she told me what the parents party was. And she goes, but this is what you're here for. We always hire an act for our golf tournament,

and it always revolves around an NFL team generally. And this year we're celebrating the world champion 1976 Oakland Raiders. And I about crack my pants. And I remember walking in, I saw a Raider helmet in the gift shop. And I was like, hey, got Raider helmet.

Right away. I looked at my tour manager. I said, go buy that Raider helmet right now. I got Kenny Stabler's autograph So I don't need his but I asked who was there And they go, well, you're in luck Everybody but Kenny Stabler I said, I'm getting Freddie Blitnikov Out of a stinking helmet

And sure enough, I did the show And start right there in the front row Cliff Branch, Freddie Bolitnikov They're doubled over Freddy Blitnikov's wiping his eyes I'm like, and all I can think about on stage is Man, I'm making Freddie Blitnikov laugh Here I was, the little kid, look at this is crazy

then after the show was over, came backstage and hung out. And, I mean, Ray Guy, all those guys, Mark Hubbard, all those guys. You drink them out of the table? It was awesome. You know, I didn't. I'd be honest with it, I'm not a big drinker. Really? I'm not a big drinker.

My only vice is in life for tobacco. So I like a good cigar every night. And I enjoy a nice chew, man. I enjoy a nice chew. As a matter of fact, last night, I used to chew Levi Garrett, but now I chew a, Red Man. Now it's called America's Best. But, which is funny because they,

because you've got to be politically correct. I can't call Red Man. Of course. Even though it was really funny one time I was in a casino up in Minnesota and I'm chewing in the, and I love all those guys, the main guy, the chief. Yeah. He was there with the elders and he goes, hey, give me show you at Red Man. It was awesome. Did you end up getting all the autographs? man, I love them. I love working those casinos.

They're good to me, man. I love them. So anyway, listen, so, what was I saying? Oh, so Ray Guy, is that what I was talking about? Yeah, you. I can't remember. I'm so excited to be with you. You were a Raider, man.

Oh, yeah, bro. Playoff Willie. It's flipping awesome. I know. That's probably why we lost in the playoffs last year, so it cut me right before the playoff game. I wrote a letter. I wrote them a letter.

I even, yeah, I even used bunghole in it. So are you, are you, hang on now. Are you more of a Raider fan than a Husker fan? No, no, I'll never be a bigger Raider fan. I am a huge Raider fan, though. I am a huge Raider fan. But I'll tell you, I'll tell you the problem. I married my wife from Wisconsin.

And I know. My wife from Wisconsin, huge Packer fan. I got to tell you, I rooted for the Packers as well. I root for the Packers as well, especially when they had Brett Farve, because I'm watching ESPN one day right when my career. started just taking off. And Brett Fav is doing an interview on ESPN

at Spring at their spring games. And he's wearing a Larry the Cable Guy Get Her Done t-shirt. And she asked, what is the get-or-done thing? He goes,

well, if you're not a fan of Larry the cable guy, then I guess you're not in the club. And right then I go, I got to be packing for it. My wife is from Wisconsin. and now I got Brett Farb doing this. I mean, this is crazy, but I kind of later on in life,

because I'm an Oakland Raider fan. Then they moved to L.A., but they still had the guy who said Plunk it. I didn't like it. L.A. Raiders. You know what I mean? Come on. Oakland Raiders, you know?

Yeah. So, but I was still a fan. It went Super Bowl. I was stoked. And then, of course, I moved to Florida when I was 15, 16 years old. Well, certain places where I lived, you get shot wearing a raider gear. What the fuck are you living? You know.

You get shot wearing Raider jersey. What the fuck? Yeah. I know. Well, you know, so I'm like, ah, crap. And then they lost their, to me, after Howie Long left and all those, they kind of lost their mystique. When they got Jay Schrader, oh, my gosh. Nobody could suck worse than Jay Shrader.

And then they just started sucking. So, mix between Jay Shrader sucking and me not wanting to get shot. I kind of wavered a little. I said, you know what? I'm in Florida now. And I live right by Tampa Bay. I'm going to root for the Buccaneers. Then Jacksonville started up a team.

I go, you know what, they're just up the road. I'm going to root for Jacksonville. But deep down in, every Sunday. I keep an eye on the Raider game. Yeah. And I just have, man, I love the Raiders. And then I met, you know, I met a bunch of the guys playing out at the, in the Tahoe, you know. Oh, this past year?

Yeah, so. Yeah. So I'm, so I'm going to say Derek was out there. Dude, he's awesome. He's great. So, yeah. Have you been to the new stadium in Vegas? I haven't been.

Bro, you've got to go to the fucking state of Vegas. I know. I heard it's flipping awesome. So I've seen it. I want to go. And I will say, it has a good ring to it now. Las Vegas Raiders. That sounds good.

LA Raiders did not sound good. You weren't a fan of the LA Raiders. Nah, come on. Dude, and like the Las Vegas Raiders, they got like the Death Star. They got that sleek black look all over the stadium. Dude, it's like, it's the coolest environment. Last year, when I... I heard you go to the games, automatically.

you speak in Spanish. It's unbelievable. But, dude, it's incredible. You come at a halftime day. Little John was performing. It was basically like a club going on. It's insane. Yeah.

It's a good club to be. And I like being a Raider fan. But, yeah, that stadium is outrageous. Dude, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's incredible. Let's talk about your Husker fandom. How have you been this last decade? Can I just say one more thing about the Raiders?

Yeah, absolutely. Sorry. Go ahead, man. And I literally made an ESPN films doing this. They were talking about the top 50 greatest teams of all time. Yeah. And I got to tell my story. But it's my favorite NFL films of all time is when they're talking about the 1976 Pittsburgh Steelers.

And the guy comes on Fessenda, you know. And the Pittsburgh Steelers were rolling through the great planes, like, you know, like that kind of thing. And then all of a sudden, the music stops, and then you hear this other music. and it goes, and then came the Oakland Raiders. And it pans up from their socks all the way up to the pants. It's got John Matusig just pointing at this guy. Oh, dude, nothing fires me up like that dagon thing.

I love it. Bro, the detail in his storytelling is like, it reminds me like Bert Kreisher when he's sitting on here telling like very detailed stories. You can like see the picture. I'm not kidding. I made love to my wife. on our honeymoon with that, with John Fissenda. You do?

Talking about the Raiders. On his fucking honeymoon. I actually called myself, I said, hold on, honey. Here comes a little Howie. Howie Long. Here comes a little Howie Long. He's shy right now, but he'll perk up here in a second. Howie's awesome.

I met Howie. He was great. I did something. Me and Howie and Terry Bradshaw. That's a crew right there. Yeah, did Howie's tough guys with him. It was fun, man. What was the tough guys?

What did you have to do? Oh, he was just doing his top 10 tough guys in the NFL, and I was aghast, and I did the whole show with him. Funny thing about that, and then they'll talk about other stuff. I always think of these goofy things. It was really funny, because right when I started getting, coming up through the ranks, Foxworthy's one of my best friends in the whole world,

and Fox were these big star. Before I even got to that part, I was just like, man, this guy, my body, I can't believe he's getting, one day's phone rings. This is when you know you're a big star. Jeff's phone rings. I look down, Terry Bradshaw.

And I go, holy crap. I go, Jeff, you're getting a call from Terry Bradshaw. He goes, yeah, I let it go. I'll call him back later. And I like going, what do you mean? You're not going to talk to Terry Bradshaw? He goes, I can't get him off the phone. He never shuts up.

He goes, I love him. But I got stuff to do. And I'm like, this is so crazy. Then I met Terry Bradshaw. I get a phone call about two months later from Terry Bradshaw. And I literally looked at the phone and went, I'll talk to my dad. Dude, Terry Bradshaw, we did this, what was it called? Yeah, the celebrity softball game.

And Terry Bradshaw was our coach. This was last year. He was the coach of our team. He got so hammered. He what? He fell over, right? and an ambulance, yeah, and started bleeding, and the ambulance had to come.

An ambulance had to come and take it to the hospital. He was so, he, like, smacked me on the ass after I got the third base. I was like, oh, shit, my dad's going to be so hyped that Terry Bradshaw just spanked me on the ass. And he gets so hammered that he tips over, cracks his head, and he has to go to the hospital, I think. Oh, my gosh, that reminds me of a comic.

Oh, he was from Minnesota, big old fat guy. Just super, super, super unhealthy. Olli Joe Prater Right? Yeah And he On stage one time He gets a nose bleed

He's hammered He gets a nosebleed And he can't move He's sitting behind the stage Behind the curtain Because he couldn't walk He was so fat he couldn't walk up You could hear him breathing

If you were on stage You could hear Back you'd be telling your jokes And you just hear like Right Right And so Seriously.

So he comes out on stage and he's sitting on the stool. He's telling jokes. He was hilarious. He's killing. He wipes his nose with a... He's got a white shirt on. He wipes his nose. He's got blood all over his sleeve.

And some girl in the front goes, ugh, gross. And he goes, strong, honey. Don't you know how to party on a Saturday? I mean, just insane. Who are some of the favorite people like you've toured around to travel with?

Oh, man. There's so many funny guys. Like, if you, like, think to yourself, what are a few? you wish you could go back on and repeat those. Oh, well, you know, for me, the memories of blue collar. God, iconic. That was just the most amazing time of our lives.

I mean, we're doing 12,000, 13,000, 14,000 people a night, 8,000. It was insane. And you'd show up. And, I mean, then if, like, sometimes you had to do three days. Like, we were working, too. We had our own stuff. Right. We'd have a show like on a Thursday night at an arena.

Then Friday night, we did our own thing. Then Saturday night, Sunday night, we're back together. And then one of us had had something on a Monday. You know what I mean? Yeah. So every now and there'd be a weekend when we'd fly in, do the show, and then we had to leave because we all got to get to the next gig. We go to the airport.

There's four private jets lined up. Good God. We're all getting on our own jet and taking off to the next gig. Dude, it was a dream come true It's something that I'll never ever Get those memories out of my head You know, and now the I'm like an old country singer now

I'm like that old country singer that had You know, 24 number ones And now the years have gone by You're still selling good tickets But you're not doing 12,000 a night You know, you're doing 2,700 Yeah So, you know, which is still awesome

You know, that's still awesome But you see these younger, like Chrysher. I love Chrysher. Bert's a buddy, mine. But God bless him. I tell him all the time, man, enjoy it, buddy. It is the most amazing experience of

your lifetime. And so, if I can go back in time and recreate, it would just be hanging out with those guys and doing that stuff. It was so fun. And then when I toured on my own, I took two opening acts, just because it was something fun to do. And they were both buddies of mine.

But we would, it would be me and my wife and kids on one bus and then I leased another bus from my crew so I had six guys on that crew two opening acts, t-shirt guy the representative from the booking agency a video guy to keep track of air and then tour manager

and then we bought a tractor trailer I took a tractor trailer with a gym in it and so we would show up grinders yeah we would show up did you actually work out absolutely I took my buddy Dave with me as a trainer if I didn't take Dave I didn't lose any weight

but I can gain anyway. Let's put it that way. I didn't lose, but I didn't gain. That was the purpose of him. But we'd show up. We would do three months on, 10 days off. Three months on, 10 days off. Three months on, 10 days off.

Back when I was touring like crazy. So you're talking now from 2003, 2003 to 2011, until I got the History Channel show. That's when I kind of stayed off the road a little bit. But we show up at these arenas in the middle of the night. in the morning at 6 o'clock we'd be sleeping they'd set it up they'd put the trailer there they'd put the buses at an L shape they put this so nobody can see in there they'd go and if it was summer

or fall they'd go in and get all the furniture from the green room they'd bring it outside we'd set a living room up outside put up a basketball goal and we spent all day watching sports on the TVs sitting in the couch ordered food had just hung out all day and then if it It was football season. They'd come out. We'd be watching a game. And the door of the arena would open up, and some guy would yell. Hey, Larry, five minutes.

I'd be like, all right. I'd get up. I'd run in. I'm walking in. He's wrapped. Reno or Josh will be wrapping up. Introduced me. I'd run on stage, do my show.

Say good night. Walk down the steps. Pop a deadpin. Walk outside. Walk straight to the couch. Sit down and finish watching the game. Dude, it was the greatest thing of all time. I loved it.

It was so much fun. It's fucking awesome hearing you talk about it because I just remember, like, being a kid traveling in the summertime to, like, baseball tournaments and stuff like that, national traveling baseball team, no big deal. I hit the four slot, too, so I was pretty good. But, dude, we would, like, me and the boys would get in the car and we would have our mom play the blue-collar comedy tour

when we had already listened to it on the way to the game. Right. And, like, you know, that's back when it's, like, CDs, and you're trying to pop tapes, and shit like that. But it's just fucking cool hearing you talk about it because when I'm a kid, I just remember being a kid.

Hey, throw on the blue collar comedy tour. Like all the boys that we want to do. And we'd be listened to it in between games. Oh, yes. It was fun. We interrupt this episode to bring you, can you scroll up so I can see what I'm talking about here. Gocurrency.com.

Let's go, let's go. Could you guys do that again? No. Like if I sit there, could you guys be like fucking that rock band who goes back out on tour, who goes back out on tour and you guys fucking hit the cities again? One last two raw for the boys. You know what? No.

And I'll tell you why, because it's a different world. That was a, that would just, we just hit it the perfect time. And it's one of those things we were all. top of our game and we were just so excited and it was fun and it's just man that's something that we've thought about doing it again but here's what you don't want when you have something that that was that cool you know i mean still the top grossing tour of all time yeah so when you have something that cool you want to do it again just because it's fun you want to get back together but when you think about it it's like you people are going to come to it and there's what you don't want

You don't want them to go, oh, man, that was good, that was good. But, man, it wasn't like back in a day. Back in the day, those guys, you don't want to back in the day. You don't want them to go, that was funny, but, man, back in the day. You don't want that. So you want to leave them with the memory. Oh, wow. It's like me and the 76 Raiders, you know?

Yeah. I always got that memory. You know, that's the team. That's that one team. You know, that team ain't going to play again. Yeah. And that's my memory. So, no, as much we love each other.

we're all buddies, but everybody's doing so many different. Jeff's guy, a little grand kid now, and he's not, you know, I'm only doing, I'm only wanting to do 22, 25 shows a year, so spend time with my family. So I think that bird is fun, but it was sure fun when it lasted. It was sure a good time. Why don't you think, like, other comedians kind of try and use that blueprint? I feel like it doesn't happen. Like, it hasn't really, like, if I were to think of comedians, I'm like, oh, the,

The standard would be blue-collar comedy tour. It's like, hey, why don't you guys do like the blue-collar comedy tour did and you guys fucking tour around. Yeah, you know what? Here's the thing. It's like it just has to catch. Magic has to happen. And you don't plan it.

It just meant, this wasn't planned. This is something. Let's give it a shot. Let's tour together. See what happens. And it hit. It was magic. Something happened.

It was just at either the right time. We said the right, whatever. It just connected with people at a certain time of people's lives. Yeah. So I don't think you can do that. again. Now, we did. This was funny. I, you know, I play all these golf events. And so, um, uh, uh, uh, Cedric the entertainer's a buddy of mine. Okay. And, and George Lopez is a buddy of mine. You know, I used to do Lopez the show. And, uh, so we're golfing together one time.

And we honestly thought about doing it. We thought it would be pretty funny, but then we just didn't pursue it. But we're golfing and then George Lopez goes, man, hey Holmes, we're to tour together. How cool would this be? A street touring together? We could call it we could call it a black guy, a Mexican, and a redneck walking a bar. And we could tour with that title. And I'm like going, dude, that's fine with me. I think it'd be awesome. But we never really pursued it. But I thought it was a good idea. You know?

Oh, that'd be fucking. That'd be hilarious. Oh, it'd be fantastic. It's like that type of like humor that is good for the world right now. Like you get people. Absolutely. That's the cool thing about comedians, it's what gets them in trouble. They go out in the real world and they think the whole world

is like a comedian like they are and has a sense of humor. But when you're in a green room with all ethnicities, ethnic, ethnic, ethnicities, when you're in a room with all the better necessities, now when you're in a green room,

I mean, you've got four black comics, you've got three white comics, and you've got a Mexican comic, and you got three different religions represented. We're just It's like the locker room Yeah the jokes are flying And you're picking on each other

And at the end of the day You're buddies, man You're buddies And it's all for fun It's all for the laugh of it Yeah And so I think that's what gets some communities in trouble Then they go out

And they think the rest of the world Is like they are And they're not And then they get in trouble Because they say something They probably shouldn't say And I'm well wait a minute But I don't find that

You know Yeah So I think that's what gets some people in trouble. I don't know how we got on that topic. But I think it was something with my traveling baseball team. I can't remember. Yeah, most big, right? Dude, if you had to, if you had to be transparent.

Don't tell those stories. If you had to be transparent and rank all four of you on the blue collar comedy tour, what's the order? Me? I love that. I'm glad. I'm glad you did that. Usually people are like, oh, I won't count me. I'll do me last.

But I fucking love that, bro. Me, number one. No, in all honesty. Look, whenever this is what made us, I think, pretty successful. We already know that we're not getting rankings, boys. No jealousy. No jealousy whatsoever. If Ron got something that we didn't get, it was good.

It was like the Eagles. Remember when they did that thing? It was good for the band. Yeah. And it was. It was good for the group. If Ron got something that I didn't get, amen. That's awesome.

Because that only helps us out. You know, so everything. that happened to each individual person was good for us as a whole. And we never were jealous. We never got into that and it really helped the saddle up. But if I had to label the... Like if you, you're

sitting there watching all you guys. We were all three... Here's the thing. It's hard because we're all three different. We all... Very, yeah, very different. The thing that was cool about me when I came along, you know, they'd already done... I'm like the Ringo Star, blue collar. I came along when they already did, about 10 of them. And they were looking

for a replacement. It was originally Jeff in his opening act and Bill in his opening act, but Bill's opening act, they just didn't think he was blue collar or not. So I got the audition for that, which is a funny story, which I'll tell you too. But, so you can't really, I was the one-liner guy. I was completely different. So that's why the thing with the stools was awesome with me in there, because everybody had, was storytellers. So you have to like go from one story to another and try and, you know, thread them together. Well, with me up there, you didn't need to thread them together.

Because somebody would finish a story, and that would trigger eight jolks. So I'd be like, boom, boom, boom, boom, right? And everybody laughed. And then Ron would go, yeah. Hey, you know what? It reminds me. But, you know, it would lead him into one of his stories. Yeah.

So it was perfect thread. I was the perfect little thread to interject and tie things together. We were all unique. We all had something different. If I had to pick, who's the funniest? Obviously, one of my all-time favorite comedians, and I was saying because he's my buddy, was Jeff. Jeff was a groundbreaker for what he did, you know,

as far as that kind of Southern-type comedy. And he opened a lot of doors. There was a lot of guys down there. But Jeff is the one that everybody knows about. But, man, off-stage, hilarious. I tell him all the time, you're funny. You're off-stage, and you're on-stage. And on-stage, you're hilarious.

His, you might be a redneck, and games rednecks play. If you re-listen to those, two of literally the funniest CDs. I've ever heard of my life. Like, belly laugh. Like, I got to take a leak. Belly laugh, right? And then the rest of us, I would put us all the same because we all, I'm not going to put anybody for anybody else

because I love all those guys. He said the rest of us, there's two more. It's him and... Well, Bill and Ron. I would put all of us... In the same category? I would say, Jeff, and then us three. You can pick your favorite.

But when I got the gig, this is funny. When I got the gig, Ron, I... I didn't, I only met Ron twice. I didn't know Bill at all. So when I went to audition, first show was in South Carolina, and I was already on the radio, because I was pushing.

He's from South Carolina. All right. I was pushing my wares on the radio. Yeah. Character, right? And so I was selling out shows. And everywhere I was doing the character, I was selling out shows.

So I was in Columbia, South Carolina. I had a punchline. He had a punchline, South Carolina. I was packing it out. So when I heard my audition night was going to be a show. in South Carolina. I'm like, oh, man, I'm a freaking kill.

Right? I can't wait. But Ron never, Ron never, Ron never came up to watch the opening act. He knew what he was like and he didn't, Ron would only come up. We're only doing 10 minutes. So Ron would just come up at the very last second,

walk out on stage and go back and, you know, he didn't back of drinking. Yeah. I want to go work. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Always got that whiskey. Yeah, he's awesome. I love him to death.

So, but they said, He wanted to see me because he heard of what I was doing, but he never seen me. So he wanted to come watch because he's going up next. Yeah. And the guy that booked the show, he said, we knew that you were going to get hired after that first night because Ron would never watch anybody. He came up to watch you.

Two minutes in, you're like 20 jokes in. You're firing out these one-liners, and the crowds die and flying getter guns are flying. He said, Ron lit a cigarette and went, ah, shit. He said, as soon as he did that, they go, we knew you were going to get hired. But he'll even say, it kind of lit a fire under him to just, like, pick it up

because he was just kind of going through the motions. He'll tell you that. And then I showed up, and it was like, boom, boom, boom. And it made everything step up the game. It was awesome. It was. Dude, that's fucking cool. Why is it a, you say audition, like comedians had to audition to be a part of the blue-collar comedy tour?

Yeah, they wanted, like, I know, Jeff's like one of my best friends. But he wanted the other guys to see what I was doing. So was it Jeff and somebody else that was trying to put it on together and be like, let's find our fourth guy? It was Jeff. They all made decision. Jeff, Bill Engval, Ron White, the manager, our manager at the time, and the two promoters. They just wanted to see how it meshed. You got to mesh with them.

And Jeff was standing on the table being like, I want you to see my guy. Oh, yeah. And so it just meshed good. I mean, I got along with everybody. We're all friends right off the bat. I mean, Ron and I hit it off off the bat. Ron and I always have, we have one moment that, and I always, whenever I talk to Ron, I always think about this moment. But when we were on there, we were just six months in.

We hadn't even taped the first CD yet. And we went to Jeff's house. which I had called the Lakeitha Inn. He can think's amazing. He did. You know, he would get up in the morning, and he'd have a cup of coffee, and he'd shoot 10 arrows.

It is, it is deer, it's a big deer out there in the woods by the Chattahooch River. And then he'd go up to the second deck, and he'd shoot 10 arrows into his big deer by the Chattahooch River. Then he'd go up to the third deck, and he'd shoot his arrows.

I mean, he did that every morning. So we got in the house, And the first thing Ron says is, man, wit. Oh, this is so unattainable. And I said, hey, Ronnie, you never know, man. This is pretty good tour, man. You know, you never know. Never say it's unattainable because we work hard and keep at it.

We could have this too. I remember we both remember that moment. And then there it is, you know, a year and a half later, boom. Now, you know. When did you guys realize, like, what moment did you realize, oh, fuck, like, we, not only do we have something like we thought, but this is way bigger. This is taking off way faster than I thought. Like, what moment did that happen? When we showed up at a show and there was like a line of supermodels waiting on us to get there.

And when they say supermodels, people, women from Waffle House. No, you know what? It just kind of happened. It just got bigger and bigger. And the crowds were more fanatical and more fanatical. And that's when you knew. You're like, holy crap, this is insane. It's kind of like my career when we started going off and doing our own things.

Yeah. You know, I started out from Blue Collar just doing a theater to see if we could sell a theater. We did okay. You know, then the album comes out. And then, uh, They said, we're going to try a couple more theaters. And so I went out with Merle Haggard for six shows to get used to work in a theater because I was comedy clubs.

Other than the arena, you know, but I'm with the four guys. And I said, okay. And we sold these theaters, are selling out. And then one day my manager goes, hey, we're going to work some arenas. And I'm like going, get out of here. I'm going to sell a stupid arena. He is nuts. Seriously, that's what I thought.

And the cool thing is in Steve Martin's book, he has his date book. And he talks about how it started getting big and when he knew it was getting big. And he printed his date book where he was working. Same places that I was working. It was really cool. So they told me I'm going to work these arenas. And I told them they're stupid. There's no way this is happening.

I mean, I just did a theater for 1,200. Yeah, we need good. It's 1,200 people. Yeah. You know. Yeah, but this one was 1,700, so maybe, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so they put, they put, like, I think to start off with 11 arenas.

They booked 11 arenas. And they went on sale. I didn't even think about it. You know, I didn't even think about it. And my, the guy that the promoter called me, he says, he didn't. See new ticket counts? I said, oh, my. Don't tell me. Are we tanking?

He goes, tanking? Are you kidding me? We're already sold out and like seven of them. I go, get out of here. He goes, no, here's your tanks. Hershey Center. Pennsylvania, 10,800 already sold. You went on sale two hours ago.

That's when I knew. It was like, holy smoke. I can't believe this is happening. I mean, I'm very blessed. I just feel so blessed. It was just fun. all that to the guys. I mean, that was a successful tour.

And it just added all that other stuff. That's why when I see guys now, like Bert, I love Bert, man, he's so funny. But when I see guys like Bert, and guys like that, and it's happening for them, I'm so happy for them, because they're good guys, and they're funny. And just the fact you're a stand-up,

and your whole life, you want to be a stand-up, and you just want to make a living at it. But you want to find your audience. You want people to like what you do. And so when you're, Your audience finds you and you find the people you connect with and it just goes through the roof. Man, that's the coolest thing ever. So all those guys that are doing that, I'm so happy for them.

I'm proud of them. And it's awesome. Dude, I love, like, you can see it in your face too. Like, listen to you, reflect on it all is really cool. Like, at what? Like, developing Larry the Cable Guy, developing this character, the comedy, you always wanted to be a stand-up comedian. And then you're, like, you can see when you're like, when you find your audience and you're working on this and you just want to make a living and do all this. like when you look back on it like

what was that development like or what things you feel like you wasted too much time on to where you're like you start to find your groove you start to work on the right craft and like man I can't believe I worried about that back in the day

yeah you know what in Steve Martin's book he says and he's true it takes a good 10 years to really get comfortable with yourself to where you can just go on stage you go whatever I'm doing this I don't care I'm doing this joke

I'm gonna try out this then you're comfortable and you find your voice you find who he are he said he's about 10 years to figure that out from open mic and stand-up. For me, you know, I was doing okay.

I mean, I wasn't selling, you know, I had a unique act. I was one-liners, very slapsticky, goofy stuff, you know. And so for some extra money, a buddy of mine said they needed some characters. I used to do characters on stage, some fun characters. Yeah. You know, I used to do an old lady, Irish, this is Irish, from Boca. You're from Boca.

You know, I used to do that. So I did a bunch of stupid characters. And so my buddy had me call his morning show doing characters. And when I was Larry the Cable Guy, and it got super stinking popular. I would just call up and do commentaries. And, of course, I wanted to be, I loved All in the Family. And I loved Archie Barker. I thought it was hilarious.

But Archie, you know, Archie was a jerk, you know. But Archie was funny, you know. And so I wanted to make a character like that, but be as likable as I could. Just be dumb, but not knowing that I'm being dumb. You know what I mean? So I came up with Larry, the cable guy. And they wanted me to call it.

I pretend it was a cable guy. And so when I first called the radio, I didn't have a name for it. So the first thing when they asked me my name, the first thing that popped in my head was my buddy Larry, who has a belt that says Larry on it. So I just found it this way. And it stuck.

And, of course, it was all theater of the mind. I'm not doing some of this stuff on stage. I mean, you know, I learned from the Howard Stern School of Radio when I did radio. You got to be funny because people want to be entertained. You got to be a little shocking because you want to say something to where people go, what did that guy just say? Now they want to hear it next week, or the next day, because they want to hear what you're saying.

So people that don't like you are tuning in just as much as people that do like you because they want to hear what you're saying, right? Some because they just want to laugh and they think it's funny. Others, because they're like, that's a son of a bitch. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So that's what I did. I wrote these commentaries, and what I would do is I would write commentaries, just a regular commentary. Like somebody would write a social commentary. They're all social commentary. then I would pretty much ruin the entire commentary by adding as many titty and fart jokes as I possibly could right?

Just a little kid. Yeah, right? Just a little kid. Anything that a 15-year-old kid a freshman in high school laughs at, that's what I'm doing. And me getting in the car, I throw on that. And then I wanted to throw something in where you're like, whoa. I can't believe you would say that.

But it was the 90s. you got away with everything you know until what's her name popped her boo about on Super Bowl Janet Jackson and ruined FCC came down on everybody that's about time I started getting popular so it was like okay see you let

I'm out you know but it got and it and it worked because I would I would hear comments like I can't believe he's just Larry man Larry's funny get some old guy up and you don't mean nothing by that he's super nice guy you know that kind of thing

and so I never expected to ever do it on stage because I'm not really my stage act wasn't politics it was goofy wine liners yeah well as time went by I got

syndicated in from Tampa into Orlando then from Orlando into Tulsa Oklahoma into Baltimore Maryland into Omaha Nebraska and I went to do a show I wasn't

just doing me. I was doing a show in St. Petersburg, Florida. And Larry the Cable Guy was huge in Florida. It was getting big in Baltimore, starting to kick ass in Tulsa, and it was doing good in Omaha because I was calling Todd Tyler at Omaha. And my buddy bills me as Dan Whitney, a.k.a. Larry the Cable Guy from the 95 Y&F. And I didn't know it.

And I drove over to do the show, and it was at a Holiday Inn in St. Pete, McCurdy's Comedy Club, and a buddy mine. Ain't no place to park. And I'm like, what is going on to freaking Holiday Inn on Friday? I finally parked way to hell out there. And I walk in. I go, man, Les, what's going? They got a, like, what do you got a wedding or something? He goes, dude, they're here to see you.

Literally, I go, what do? That's what I said Because I mean, I was selling okay tickets But I was, you know I was barely a headliner You know He goes, dude I hope you don't mind

But I billed you as Dan Whitney Larry the Cable Guy And I was pissed I said Less I don't do anything like Larry The Cable guy On stage

He goes well I know But that's it's Dude I sold two shows Yours completely sold out As soon as I said Larry the cable guy, those tickets were gone in like 50 minutes for both shows. That was like 320 people's show. I'm like, well, because people knew you from all the commentary stuff.

From the radio, yes. And I'm like, well, all right. So I show up. And back then, you know, I wore Z cab of riches, I had a baseball cap, and I was buttoned down, you know. And, man, I get on stage and I start my act. And it's going good. And then all of a sudden, get it up. Hey, let's hear some Ginterda.

That kind of thing. Hey, Larry, let's hear some Gitterda. They're calling me Larry. I'm like, what's going on? So I dipped down. And in my head, I'm going to do, what I'm going to do? You know what? I'm going to take my jokes, and I'm just going to do my Larry.

Right? So I would go straight from my youths be like, hey, you ever go down to the, you know, like that boom, boom, pop-paw. And then I would just, all of a sudden, it'd be like, more hear some Larry. I so check this out yeah my grandma done had got the walking

forks every day y'all know what the walking first is that's when you get the you know and do the whole thing you know she wears them hose she gets to walking forks and walking forks get stuck in them hos and boy when she takes that waistband from them hos

it sounds like a daggone big rig rig letting out they break pressure you get pshsh dude people are slapping their sides right and so I go back out of it because I don't have any you know it's like

I'd never done it before live nothing they don't want to hear me they want go back in LaGarie so I knew some more of it You still get Larry back I couldn't follow Larry to cable guy and I am Larry to cable guy so I finally

ended it with my bit but Larry did the bit I'm done I'm signing autographs I'm taking pictures. I'm leaving phone messages for people. They clear the room, and Les goes, man, that's, that was awesome.

Dude, you killed. I've never seen anybody kill like that. He goes, can you do your whole show like that? I said, Les. I said, man, you know me? All my buddies are all rednecks. I hang out with, I do nothing but live in country bars. You know, I'm from Sanford, Florida, man.

I can talk about a redneck all day long. Yeah. Because it comes easy because that's where I hang out. He says, well, I'm taking your name off. I'm just putting Larry the cable guy. I said, right, well, I'm going to go change. If I'm going to do this, I'm going to be comfortable. And I went to my room, and in case anybody thinks I'm taking my country roots growing up in,

a pig farm of Pawnee City, Nebraska. I put on what I drove over in. And I drove over in a 1986 transam with T-tops with a big blue ball. bird painted on a front hood, which I was very proud of. And I went on stage and a pair of lace-up roper cowboy, lace-up roper riding boots, a pair of jeans, a cut-off Nebraska t-shirt, and a NASCAR hat. That's what I drove over in. And I went on stage as Larry the cable guy getting it for the first time and flipping murdered it. A light bulb went off in my head and I said, man, if I can get more radio stations, I can sell tickets all over the country

doing this. If I'm doing this here, I can do this anywhere. Yeah. And sure enough, I would show up doing my act, and the first thing the radio stations would ask me is, hey, what's this thing you're doing on morning shows? We read it all over Bitport, just Larry the Cable guy. I go, yeah, you know, I do about a three-minute commentary. And we'd love to do that here, but they don't pay anything. They'd barely pay us. And then I'd go, you don't got to pay me a cent. They go, what do you mean? we don't got to pay you. If you want me to do three and a half minutes of funny stuff on here just to

kill some time, I'll do it. All I ask is that you promote me at the comedy club and just use it as a radio promotion. And in case you get a sponsor for it, which I know you will, because everybody else gets a sponsor, pay me a little money out of the sponsor money. But I'm not asking for any pay. Just promote me. No shit. And within a year and three months, a guy named Rich Jenny, who was a friend of mine. God bless him, he passed away not long ago. He, he, and I became the two top draws in comedy clubs across the country. And I was only a top draw where they heard me on the radio. So 27 states, I was kicking butt. And that's what got me, that's what got me on blue collar because I started kicking butt in all these comedy clubs.

And that's when Jeff said, hey, let's get Larry up here to fill in for. So all that. How long had you known Jeff at this point? No, since 1986. Okay, so you've known him. You guys are boys for a while. We're big Braves fans, so we used to hang out spring training together all the time. Got you. And so, yeah, and then the rest is history. And so at all started that one day, just because Les McCurdy built me as Larry. If he wouldn't have done that, I would have never done it on stage because I didn't have the balls to do it.

Because it wasn't my act. Right, right, right. But now I've adjusted that act to me. And then, of course, I got married and had kids. So Larry kind of changes a little bit throughout the years because there's a certain jokes. because you don't want to do because you don't want your kids to hear you know so my first album is way different than my last album they'll still hear it though well yeah they will but you know it is what it is you know what i ain't apologize that's some funny shit bro what time is it 1141 all right perfect um dude

this has been fucking awesome like her learning about the roots of larry the cable guy learning about the blue collar comedy i'm like a kid in the fucking candy store bro um this last question is by rowback and we will ship you some apparel from rowback um it comes from taylor the boy tayor luan he's my co-host he actually plays football still okay last question the rowback question use code boys on rowback com for 20% off your first purchase that's r h obac k dot com code boys they work with the best college athletes from will anderson to the boy michael mayor to by be jean robinson and have the performance polos, shorts, Q zips, and hoodies.

Give 110%. If you got to do it, just get her done. Don't bitch about it. Don't complain about it. Just get her done. And I just popped that out on the radio. and my grandpa, when I was a little kid, we'd take water to the cows. And we'd get in the truck all the time.

And first thing he'd say is, all right, let's get to getting. And I don't know, evidently, maybe that was subconsciously in my head, but I popped out, get her done. And a lot of people always go, oh, I was saying get her done back in 1960. Well, you know what? You should have got on the radio. You should have had the nuts to go on. You should have got on the radio. You should have said, get her done.

a hundred times a day and then got t-shirts and sold it but you do it's too stupid to do it but I did it so don't yell at me about it you know can I tell you funny story about Gator Done? Absolutely. So I go up Peaches' records and tapes in Orlando one time. This is just as this thing was moving

really big. I hadn't even done it on stage yet. Guy's leaving the store and he looked back to the guy working and he goes, I see it tomorrow get her done. He goes, yeah, get her done! And I go, what the hell? That's what I say. This is when I said, I'm getting this in copyrighted. I'm getting T-shirts and copyrighted. So I went up to the guy working here and I go,

What did you hear that get her done at? What's that get her done? He goes, oh, man, that guy on a radio station here, Larry the cable guy. Oh, that is fucking awesome. He signs off with get her done all the time. It's pretty funny. And this is when you're just radio, so they don't know who the guy is. No, because I was doing it in Tampa.

It has been syndicated into Orlando. And you're probably just getting back out in your truck with some chew, just smiling. And there's the first time I'm in Orlando, you know. I was doing something in Orlando. And I go, dude, that's me. I'm literally the cable guy. He goes, shh, you're not letting him. I go, no, that get her done.

That's my gear done. I said, Larry the cable guy, the WDIC. He goes, let me hear you say get her done. And I go, get her done. He goes, no, not even close. That's a true story. I'm like, what are you kidding me? He says it over and over.

He's like, no, I'm telling you, that's me. Yeah. So I went and printed up hats and T-shirts, get her done on it, Larry the cable guy. Yeah. Man, this has been an honor. Thank you so much. I love the show.

Hey, congratulations to you, Will. Man, this thing's kicking butt. Thank you, man. I mean, I was down there doing the Big Ten Tailgate. And they go, where are you going out? I was going to do at Will Compton's podcast. Dude, that thing's huge. That thing's a great podcast.

I go, wow, that's awesome. You know, no. We're getting her down, baby. No, dude. You're about, yeah, you're getting her done. I know. That good job. I'm proud.

Thank you, man. You're like, you're definitely, you were on the initial list of checking off because when we started this I'm thinking man like who can we potentially get one day and obviously like you're you've been a Nebraska guy like I would be here as a player and you'd hear the stories of yeah you know uh Larry would what's up oh yeah yeah yeah like larry you know he helped pay for this players lounge and he's a huge like supporter Nebraska and you're just like oh that's fucking awesome because you did a show here in 09 yeah I got here in 2008 um so yeah you were always somebody that was like on the initial list of like man I

one day I would be fucking awesome to sit with him. That was, and let me just say, that stadium show that I did here, and this is why I love my state, since I did it, nobody ever did stadium shows. And since I did it, what's his name, did one? Who's the comics? I was with Rock. Kevin Hart did one. And it was really funny because Comedy Central promotes Kevin Hart special.

for a stand-up comedian to do a football stadium, Kevin Hart. And my manager calls him up and goes, you guys do realize that you promoted and played on Comedy Central Larry the cable guy at Lincoln Memorial Stadium. Oh, yeah. So they changed it to the next promo was Kevin Hart, the only professional comedian to perform at a professional football stadium. Right?

Come on, man. But I still... Smaller, like Nebraska is bigger at home. But the good news is, I still have. out drew him, so I still hold the record for the most as a football. Since then, fluffy guy did one at Dodger Stadium, and I think

that, which is name's going to do one at the Red Sox Stadium. Who? You know, huh? Yeah, Bill Burr. Oh, yeah, yeah. He actually came and set in my box. I forget what game he came to.

It might have been... Here? Yeah, it might have been Ohio State or something. He wanted to see him. He's fucking hilarious, man. Yeah. Bill Burr's the best. So he's doing Red Sox Stadium So I'm hoping my record still stands I still want to have At least I want to have something Yeah they get better as beer

Yo so before we go Talk about you breaking that dude's arm And an arm wrestling Are you really like that in arm wrestling? Dude don't mess with me Don't mess with me That's all I got to say Don't mess with me

The rumor is you broke a dude's arm I think the video is out there Yes let me tell you this So Oh by the way can I mention this Absolutely So you were on So did I ever come in

and hang out when you guys were... Yeah, you did a... Yeah. Let me just say this. I was so nervous. I got... I did it... I tell everybody this.

I have met all these celebrities. I've hung out at all these really cool events. And it's not a really big deal. It's fun. I can go up and talk and be myself. The only time I am ever nervous is around Husker football players because they're my childhood love.

And so when I see... all you guys and your uniforms and your butt. I don't know what to say. I literally don't know what to say. And I'm freaking out. I go, don't say that you're going to be some stupid. Don't say not. You're going to look like you're dumbest. I don't want the team going, well, Larry's awesome, but he's kind of an idiot.

He didn't say nothing. We're like trying to get him fired and get us fired up and he didn't say nothing. So I'm always like such an idiot around Nebraska players, like a little kid. So anyway. I'm so giddy around you. So kidding. I need some water So anyway

Yeah so I'm at my sweet box And I always get six guys from the guard I always invite six guys from the Nebraska guard And come hang out the box Yeah Which is awesome This kid comes out to me He's probably about five foot 10

5 9 A little guy but he's built man This kid's built Yeah And he just came back from Afghanistan And he comes out and he goes Hey Larry Hey can I arm wrestle you?

and videotape it for my dad. He'd get a big kick out of it. And I'm arm wrestling Larry the cable guy. I'm like, yeah. And I go, well, yeah, I'm left-handed. So I don't know what you...

I'm left-hand, so I don't know what arm you when he goes. He flexes. Pulls his shirt up. And he goes, pick an arm, brother. Pick an arm. And my wife sees him and goes, good luck. And she walks away. Because the guy's like, I mean, they're an answer fan on it.

Yeah. My kid. You know, he just got done. you know, strangling Iraqis. You know what I mean? Strangling terrorists. Yeah. And here he wants to arm wrestle me.

I'm like, oh, my gosh. So, okay, so my little boy starts it, you know. And I'm like, I'm trying, you know. This guy's going to beat me, but at least I'm going to, like, not look like a big pussy. Yeah. So is that word okay? Can I say it? Yeah, absolutely.

You've heard me say the F word. All right. Pussy it is. So. So I'm like, so I'm. So I'm arm muscle with this guy And he's just staring at me with this look of like, dude, you're not, you know And now I'm getting tired and I'm going to do one

You know, he have that one little bit straight left And you just kind of surge it So I'm just like, and I start to surge Here's what you hear But louder, like But louder, okay He just keeps trying to do it It snaps

And he goes down and he has this look on his face and I literally go and my little, you see my little kid he's like his face like you just saw a ghost and I go dude was that your arm

and he goes yeah I think so I don't know I think something ain't right and then he turns white I mean this guy was Edgar Winter I mean this guy

turned white as a ghost he turns so white he was canceled and and he Here's the funny thing I was farted I was laughing so hard This here's the funny thing

Luckily my buddy Bobby is in there And he's a doctor And I go Bobby Come here I think this guy broke his arm We're armrested I think he broke his arm He comes over and he goes

Let me see okay What does it hurt He goes Hey you better lay it down Let's lay you down Because he's about to pass out Yeah Let's let you down

He lays him down Now they're working on him What luck for this guy I mean I know he broke his arm But right when he lays down Who comes strolling in? Mike Rozier. Hey, Larry, what's going?

What the fuck? What happened to you? And I tell him, goes, oh, man. Man, that's jacked up, man. That's jacked up. Right. He's staring at it. You know, he makes me laugh.

Rozier plays my golf team. Yeah. I love Rozier because he's just like, that's cold, man. That's cold, man. Man, that's funny. You have fun, man. So he's like,

where have you? Where have you? And so he goes, let me get some ice. So he gets some ice. Now I got my doctor and Mike Rozier, Heisman trophy winner, Mike Rozier, working on his kid. Who else walks in? Tony Davis, you know, All-American running back for Nebraska.

Now he's working on the kid. So the kid comes to the thing, Larry, the cable guy breaks his arms. He's got a Heisman trophy winner getting him eyes. He's got an All-American, helping him out. And, yeah, that was it. And then he got up. He went to the doctor, a spiral fracture. A spiral fracture.

unbelievable and I told my buddy Bobby the doctor who man what happened I go did I do I mean I didn't do anything else I mean I just gave me he goes well here's the deal this guy from what he does he probably had like a little teeny fraction a hair line that he didn't know about and it was just a perfect angle where it snapped it either that or you my friend or just a badass

And I go, hey, let's go with the last option. Yeah. And so he ended up, he asked me, he goes, hey, my sister has some connections to TMZ. Can I send this to TMZ with your permission? I said, I don't care what you do. Yeah, like, I'm the one of fucking broken. I go, I bet you it gets a lot of likes. Dude, I had like, what's the thing got?

Like millions. It got millions of you. Yeah, I mean, it's, that's funny, though, everybody's standing over. What happened to you, man? Let me get you some ice. Arms broken. You're white about to pass out. It was crazy.

So I won't, honestly, I'll never arm wrestle again. I want ever arm muscles. I mean, what's arm wrestle? I say, no, that's twice. I've seen that happen. When I was doing only in America. Brother, I might break your arm. When I was doing only in America, we did the wrestling championships in Brooklyn.

And they were having the arm wrestling championships, and we covered it for a history challenge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And a heavyweight division, there's this guy, six foot eight, three hundred and forty pounds. Big dude, tats everywhere. super nice. Yeah. And who's his challenger? He comes marching in.

Guys got to be 6, 5, 400. Right? And they, and I'm, look at these guys. They're going to arm wrestle. And he takes, he goes, go, boom, right when he started. The guy goes, the 6'5 4 guy goes, oh, I broke my wrist. And he broke his wrist. And he broke his wrist.

That's two arm wrestling things. But somebody's broke some. I'm going to leg wrestle. That's what I'm doing. Hey, are you trying to go to the Unity Walk with us? I'll be honest, I'm not into unity. That's a perfect way to send this off, bro. You know what?

I got some people coming. I mean, I will if you guys want me to, but I got some people coming, so I want to make sure I'm up there before they get here. So what do you just walk into? So our bus, like our show is called Bus with the Boys. Obviously, ideally, we would all be on the bus just having this conversation. But our bus is parked right where they drop all of the players off.

Oh, okay. So we're going to have the crowd, the fans. Everybody's going to be right there when they come off. Yeah, I got a golf cart, just FYI, brother. To avoid the autographs. I think I'll probably take your shine away now. Oh, no, no, no. I have like a tremor.

You tell you, oh, no, brother. Well, I have a tremor in my left hand. When I sign an autographs, it literally takes me like 35 seconds to sign an autograph. Just a scribbled fucking. I tried to avoid the whole thing. The last walk I did, though, I kind of want to keep this because I think I gave him a good mojo. The last time I did that walk, I walked with the quarterback to the bank. He was the quarterback for the coach of the bank.

Zach Taylor? Zach Taylor and I walked together. Yeah. And so that was my last unit that he walked because of the Zach Taylor. But no, I'll probably, as much as I love you guys. Hey, that's fine, bro. I remember one time, you had time for this? I don't know.

What time is it? In the uni, watch, 15 minutes. Okay. I remember one time when John Lasseter with cars, the cars movie was coming out. And we were at a NASCAR race in California, though, when they did the one in Sonoma. Yeah. And John Lasseter goes,

hey, Cindy's down there with a radio show. Let's go down to the infield and say, I go, John, I go, you want me to go to the infield of a NASCAR race? We're not going to get out of there.

You know, and I'm not trying to act like I'm a big shot or anything, but that's like my crowd. And I love them to death, but I don't want to be stuck down there. Yeah, it's awareness. You just got awareness. Because then you look like a dick.

If you don't sign anything, you're a dick. So I stay. I'll stay and sign. Tell some security guards, come and push people out of the way, get me out of that. Yeah. And he goes, ah, you're in Sonoma.

It's a whole different crowd. You're not going to... It's a different NASCAR down in Sonoma. I said, all right, John. Different kind of NASCAR down. But I got to tell you, there's a lot of no-shirt people down there, and a lot of corn dog eating going on. But I'll go.

Yeah. So here we go. Take your little golf cart down there. Literally, 10 minutes later, here's John Laster on his phone. Hey, can we get some kind of security, We got to get to the bus. I'm not kidding.

So, I mean, yeah, so I'm just going to head straight up, but I love you guys. Yeah, hey, and we're, appreciate the tickets, too. We'll probably see you here in a little bit. Yeah, did you get them? Yeah, I got them.

I got them in the text. It's all digital now. But, hey, thank you, man. Can we, like, do a hug to send off? If you want to, absolutely. Let's do it. God. I appreciate you, man.

This is awesome. Hey, he put his tongue in my ear. What's going on with that? Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick.
