And this actually, episode. as Liam Morgan, Dusty's not on it, and Aaron is a half in it. I felt that way. Because if you're watching it. That is true. Well, you did. You had to leave. Oh, that's right.

We did another hour after you left. I thought you meant just in terms of what I was contributing. Yeah. Well, that's in general. Yeah. I think they know you as Aaron the half. That's what they call you Ron. So, but we're recording this opening.

It's all confusing. but we're recording this opening because we had to pre-record the Leanne. Leanne one. And Leanne Special comes out this Tuesday. This Tuesday. My Netflix. Yeah.

So it came out yesterday. Or no. This coming Tuesday. Yeah. What's say the date? November 4th. All right. November 4th.

Also, Nateland presents to, just to remind you guys, showcase season 3 has come to a close. And we have a new series coming this Friday, October. 31st. So tune in to that. You're going to love it. It's a little inspiration from an old ESPN and something. So check that out. Nate Land will be producing Brad Upton's hour special on January 25th. Two shows at the Den in Chicago. If you're in Chicago, go grab tickets to that. Very, very, very funny comic. Brad's great. Yeah, Brad's great. Y'all loved him in the showcase. this is what we're trying to do, build up and start making comics and have new comics for you guys to check out and watch.

So the more you can help at this phase, the beginning phase of this, the better. And we're giving you a great comic to start with, who's seasoned guy, been around for a long time, very funny, Brad Upton. He may be the highest viewed dry bar guy. I think he is. Yeah. Yeah. Two shows at the Den in Chicago, January 25th.

and then how to me I got big my tour I was off there's a section header on this sheet this says Nate

Nate's like me yeah but I'm gearing because then it says Nate is gearing up for shows in the Pacific Northwest the beginning of November

check out the tour vlogs they're on that new dates or yes new dates are on sale for 2026 come out the Shows have been awesome.

Come see shows. Los Angeles. We still haven't announced the date there, but there will be a date there. And, man, what else? Yeah. So, a lot going on. A lot of fun things. A lot of moving pieces.

And you got a big weekend. You had a huge weekend. We had a big weekend. Vandy had a big weekend. We're both wearing their Vandy hats representing. You got you. U.S. and Raphael. I'm unrelated to football.

I just learned, you know, I think we all learned that the NBA's rigged over the weekend. So that feels good. I feel vindicated. And I'm just waiting for the ball to drop to show us that it's all sports. Mm-hmm. So I'm happy that Vanity. You seem excited about it. Why do you, I don't want these things to be true.

Well, it's just because I've known this for a long time now. And it took me a little while to accept it. I still continued to watch games, even though I was like, this is clearly like they're rigging this, some of these bad calls that completely change a game, and it's like, oh, we were watching a great game, and then this bad call shifted the entire momentum of the game, ruining this game. But wouldn't you rather find out, oh, I was wrong. It's all pure. The world's good. Yeah, I mean, sure, but I lost that naivative. What do they say? naivete. I lost that long ago. Okay. But would you, so in the, in the, in the world that is thinking everything's rigged, do you, is there a celebration? Like, do they, does everybody, like, kind of go like, I told you, I told you, I told you, can they move forward?

Do they go like, all right, we got one down. Now, like, hopefully the NBA fixes itself. Are they, like, rooting, because that's what I always want to know, is if people rooting for stuff to be forward, or do they want it just to stay back? I think it's really like asking the wrong question. The question is, you should see this and go, oh, no, we just discovered that the NBA is being rigged like this. I hope they're not doing this to all our sports, you know, whereas I'm not celebrating, but I'm like, well, okay, at least what I've been saying has been true. It feels a little good, right? Yeah, it feels good to be right. But what would be the positive?

What would be the, the, I've been big on this word lately. in a lot of offensive. What is the offensive way as far as like any kind of conspiracy kind of thought that where do they move like forward? Like if you know when something was not if the moon is not real

and it's 100% and it's proved it's not real like what do we do going for? Is it like? Well that's a I mean that's a different thing but with sports you would go well hopefully they can root out all this corruption and then we can just enjoy a fair

game. Okay. But when you're watching a game, especially now that gambling's involved and you're putting your money involved. Yeah. And then you go. I agree. And then you go, oh, these guys are throwing games.

Yeah, yeah. You're like. A purge. Yeah, you hope that you root out the corruption. Sure. And then we get good, fair games again. Sunlight's the best disinfectant. Do you think you all would believe it, though?

I think so. I mean, if it, you know, but it's like, I don't know, you can just. I'm being honest. Like, has there been a conspiracy that's happened, called it, and then now people re-believe in it? Or is it almost pretty hard? I don't know that anything ever gets fixed. I mean, a lot of times we'll see things and they go, okay, this is, all right, we've seen

that this is bad now. But then nothing is really done to. I think anything that's a human enterprise, there's going to be corruption and failure and all that kind of stuff. That's just part of the human existence, right? Yeah, it's just, I mean, I enjoy. football. So it's hard for me to enjoy it when I'm like, oh, this could be, this could be rigged. And scripted, a lot of people love to say scripted. I don't think it's scripted. But rigged is like,

you do it through the referees. You have a couple of players just do it. You know, you get some player with some gambling debts. And then they go, hey, you owe us a bunch of money. We're going to need you to throw, just like boxing. Boxing lost all credibility. Yeah. Because of that. Yeah, I agree. That's why UFC really took over because boxing had lost credibility. But then UFC is like, now we're like, oh, okay, well, this seems legit. This feels good. I like to think it's mainly it's, I would, the league is not rigged is what I would say. And I would say they got, they just got the people that did do it.

And then they're out and that's it. Well, hopefully so. Because more so, I think the answer to everything. is, uh, it's not as, uh, overly evil as you think. It's, it's more just like, people are not good at their job and they don't catch stuff. Yeah. And stuff happens for a long time. I think likely, I think likely it's more evil than we could ever imagine. Oh, but, but, but I do, I do agree that not everybody, that not everybody's in on it. Right? And it's like, but, you know, with the NBA, like, there was a thing that happened years ago with the officials where they caught them, like, throwing games. And now this has happened. And then there was a referee that was fired in the SEC after the Auburn, Georgia game. Yeah, I think people try. I mean, just like it's, but it's like your normal crime. Like, I mean, people are trying stuff.

But the Auburn Georgia guy was just incompetent, right? That's what I was incompetent was where I say. Well, the expression is never attribute malice to what should be attributed to incompetence. Yeah. Oh, see, I have the complete opposite to you. People are not nearly as incompetent. Assume malice and then that's over incompetence. Yes. I think it's incompetence by a mile. Yeah, me too.

Oh, see. A mile. A mile. Well, I think we finally got to the root of kind of the difference. Right. I believe in evil. I believe in evil. You guys don't believe it. I believe in evil, too.

But the more I'm like even just within my career, it's honestly, as the, and I'm not trying to talk about anything that I'm doing. But I like to learn. So the more and more and the higher up, I end up talking to people that are higher up and higher up, it is shocking how many just don't know what they're doing. and it's so I'm going just off so that's what I go less to be like it's not but in in those things when somebody doesn't know like I would say I don't know without being specific there's certain things that I've gotten into where I go oh these people don't really seem like they know what they're doing and then I look at kind of the industry that they're in and I go oh and the industry's really not doing that good right now that they're a part of so I can see some incompetence there

but yeah but i don't think it's a singular person being evil over that industry i think that's too complicated now it could be the wrong leader i think leaders do matter and there's no direction and stuff like that but uh you would really lean more into the higher you go i promise you it's going to be just incompetence yeah i mean maybe but i i mean you're we're talking sports here and i don't and then gambling and very large amounts of money but i don't i know but i think gambling i don't think it happens at that high stage, I think it happens at a much lower stage, which it did, Chauncey Billups and the refs, and like, it's not happening at Adam Silver. It's happening at a stage that's like where, you know. Yeah, maybe, but it's like he has to have some responsibility in that,

Adam Silver. He has to take some responsibility. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's his league and maybe he's not, But the incompetence, that again could go into incompetence where he's not paying attention and on top of everything, which then leads to where they feel they can do this because they got someone not paying attention. So is there no one above Adam Silver that could do anything to him? The FBI. God, I guess. Yeah.

I mean, I guess T.F.P. They got him on legally illegal gambling, blah, blah, whatever. But yeah, it's, it's, but if Adam Silver's running the league and like whatever, I don't know all Both of these things happened under Adam Silver, the ref situation that happened several years ago? No, I think that was in here. David Stern. Yeah.

Okay. So, we'll see. I think the answer is probably not as fun as you want it to be. It's not, I tend to think. It's not about being fun. I'm like, these sports are rigged. It would be fun if it was the main guy of the NBA was rigging the league. That would be super fun.

But there's no evidence that he, he's not. There you go. All right. I like that. I mean, this, you have an optimistic point of view on Adam Silver. I don't. I think he looks like a villain from a, from a, that's working against him for sure, for guy. From some James Bond movie. It looks like he has a cat on his lap. Yeah. That is true. But all corruption, all that aside, what a weekend for Vanderbilt football. Yeah. That was, that's what I was, that's what I was, take the air. No, that's what I was going to say. I'm happy that this is happening for Vanderbilt before college football goes down.

I hope they win the national championship. I disagree and think college football can go up. I thought I had a big thought about it this weekend. I think college football, I've been thinking recently that the way college football is going, I think it's trending better than the way NFL is trending. Well, I agree with that. And the way they're doing NIL and the way all this stuff kind of happens, when is this become a business where you're going to have guys stay in four years

because their contracts are going to be huge. And the NFL is, you know, the NFL is able to sit there because they don't feel like they're competing with anybody. But the NFL is not getting better. It's like overall, I love the NFL, but it's if you look at, you know, who's the top teams and whatever, it's like it doesn't have, you know, the crazy stars, like right now it doesn't have, which this would help the NFL. But I mean, if you're college football, you just opened up the world.

And it's way more ritual and like traditional and fun. And, you know, college game day was an unbelievable experience being down there. And so like, you know, I mean, when is it going to get to where like, yeah, you just own a team there? Well, being at a college game feels good. Being at a professional game, you feel in danger. Our college game feels fun. Remember when we went to that Arizona Cardinals game? I do remember that.

Yeah. I was like, these people could kill us at any point. We're sitting up with the nose games. Just some lunatics up there. I felt bad I brought you there. Let's get on out of here, buddy. Yeah, it's. But congratulations, college game day.

So many things aligning at once. Vanderbilt finally being good enough to be on college game day. Your career going is well enough for you to be like the no doubt, obvious choice to be the picker. All of those things aligning at once. What a weekend. Do you get to hang with Nick Sainman? Yeah, I talk to him up there. I've met him once before.

He was very nice at a charity event. And he watched the show. So I know his wife and Miss Terry. Yeah, Miss Terry. Laura texts with Miss Terry. Really? That's crazy. I mean, Miss Terry's, I know Nick Sabin is, you know, it's very straight and whatever,

but Miss Terry's super fun. And her, and she was texting Laura, you know, oh, I'm glad you're going to be here. Come sit with me up at the, you know. Wow, that's fun. So, yeah. I picture Nick Saben. I love Nick Saben, but I picture him not being fun. Yeah.

Yeah, he's, I think he's just serious. You know, that's what Pat McAfee does is so great. Yeah. That he pulls, I mean, him and Nick have a relationship. That's a, that's a relationship that's pretty special. Yeah. And it reminds you, like, you know, it's a little bit, like, I don't want to say because, but it was like Kirk and Lee Corso.

Yeah, sure. Where it was just like, Kirk was able to pull that out of Lee. And, like, Pat McAfee's able to pull it out of Sabin where, like, when you see Sabin and him one-on-one, it's, it's really, really, you get really good questions and Pat is just really good at, yeah, for sure. Pat puts on a show, I mean, he's, Pat's wonderful. But always like an undercurrent of respect for Sabin and everything. Yeah, oh yeah, Pat does it all in the, in the, in a, in a, the best way. And so, yeah, it was a, yeah, I mean, it was honestly, like I said it in when I picked Vanderbilt, but it was a, you know, it was. It's a crazy thing, man. I mean, I remember,

yeah, it was 2008. We knew each other. Like, we mean, you would be talking about it. Like, could, could, game, I mean, honestly, when Game Day came to Vanderbilt in 2008, you didn't, we just were never talked about on Game Day. If you, we never even were a team shown on game day or anything. They came in 2008? What were they here? Played Auburn. Played Auburn. We beat Auburn. And then, uh, so it was, great and then so when that happened it's like 2008's like when I uh I did Conan for the first I started did some TV stuff so then it's kind of like oh dude I wonder if you could be the I wonder if I could be the game day pick so like it really is like this stuff all had to kind

of come together yeah and uh and for it to finally do it and work out to get this I mean I was luckily nearby uh not too far away and uh it was yeah it was I mean yeah it was It was the best. Bates got jokes to me, about half and a half. Half were his. Working together a little bit, I have some mine. Yeah. Bates nailed it.

We went through because it went through his and read the night. I like to go in there. The last time I did it, too, I did do jokes. But no one really knew me as much then. And this time, I'm just getting, you know, I'm probably getting better at being on TV and all that. And so this one, I was like,

I'm going to really go into this and go hard. It's also it's your team playing. Vanderbilt's even playing last time you were there. Yeah, but it's like, yeah, and last time I had jokes, I thought I had some... You had some good ones

that Oklahoma's going to be the new Vanderbilt. I remember that joke. And then he wrote that one I did about Oklahoma on that one, on this one, that's like, you're no Vanderbilt. And it was actually done very well

in a way that no one could get mad at Oklahoma. Because at the point of it, you're trying to like, Like, you know, it's like I'm trying to make jokes up there that are not. I had to, I thought Minnesota and Iowa were the same team. These settings are hard to sports guys because sports guys are funny too. Yeah. But that's where it was like, yeah, it was just a little bit out of the, you know, it's just committing.

It's just committing to it. And they would come to me and then they'd come to me. It was like, you know, be precise, you know, really be confident in what you're doing. doing and what you're selling. And, you know, look, I know I love college football. I don't, yeah, I can't keep track of it like I did, could keep track of it. Well, that was my favorite joke of yours about Texas. Yes. You said, I haven't been following all year last time. That was you too. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It was great. Uh, yeah. Bates did that. Yeah, yeah, nailed it. Nailed it. Uh, so it made it great. And, yeah. We were watching, I did show Saturday

out with John Christ and Chattanooga and the game, I was watching the game on my phone back in the dressing room. And you know how, you know, the tour manager will say, hey, we're ordering food from such and such place. Everybody text me your orders. It's a group text. Yeah, yeah. I'm watching on my phone. We're watching. And it's getting down to like one of the biggest plays at the end. And right when it drops back, you just see a Derek Stroop's text pop up on the screen, three piece chicken, baked beans, cold slaw. Like, it's something. long it like blocks the whole play. It was just very funny. Yeah. In the moment. Yeah. It was great. We won and. Yep. One great. Yeah. I think that's, I like, I hope, you know,

hopefully if I ever get to go back. It would, it is very fun just to write some jokes. I, I did the, someone was like, I came up with the Pepsi and milk. And so I, there, and someone was like, what's the reference to that? You're like, there's no reference. Like, in my head for, I just, in my gut. I thought UCLA, Indiana, and I just thought Pepsi versus milk. I was just trying to pick, like, because it's like to me, it was like two things that don't go together. Yeah. Because that's what the matchup looks like, because it's Big Ten, it's UCLA versus Indiana. And you're like, what? This is weird. And, you know, it's the. So a normal person was, they oil and water. And then you're with Pepsi and milk. There you go. That's the comedian. That's elevating. That's

That's a comedian. That's elevate. What's more fun? Pepsi and milk is way more fun. But, yeah, the whole experience was, yeah, it was awesome to be down there. I mean, just, man, the vibe. The stadium's nice. Yeah, got a lot of Jared Curtis articles written.

So I expect him to be at Vandy. Oh, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. But, yeah, I even asked Kurt on the thing. Because I said it, and then, you know, it's like you're, and then I said it again, and I was like, hey, am I allowed to, like. Yeah, what are the recruiting rules?

He's like, you can do whatever you want. And then, you know, but yeah, look, I'm not trying to get into the recruiting of college football. I don't have time for that. You should start your own college football team. I mean, we might. We might. And it'll be unrigible. Yeah.

Because I'll have you there. Yeah. And then you're the, but then what if you get some big money? Yeah. If it comes your way and you're like, are you corruptible? Are you corruptible? I don't think so, but. You're the chief ethics officer.

I think they would, you know, they would. What if someone's going to give? What if someone comes and goes, we're going to give you a million acres in Montana? But for a lot? For you to let a couple games go our way. What if they know, they know, they know, like money's, I'm not going to do it for you. Yeah, I mean, is there already, do I already know that it's rigged?

No. They're going to say it's a million acres. They say it's been wholesome up till now. The acres? No, I'm saying. The game. The game's been wholesome at all, but we need to take a turn and you're the guy that's in the way.

It's been wholesome all along? We would, yes. This new league with me. It's the new league with me. So they know that you're the guy that's out of the way. So we're saying, could you be corruptible? No, I wouldn't rig your game. I know.

I know. But I'm saying the. Offer to you. Like, if someone said, I'll give you $2 million to look the other way, you would say no. But if someone came up and said, hey, I got a million acres. Oh, yeah. Just listen to the offer. A million acres in Montana, the government does not know this land exists.

Off the grid. It's that off the grid. They're not allowed to fly planes over it. Yeah. And the soil, the soil or soil, is. top-notch, never been touched. Rich, untapped. You can have it, and you just got to resign and never be seen from getting.

I mean, that's a tough offer to pass up. That's a good offer. I'll say, though, there's several things that I would never believe. You know what I mean? Like, if they made the offer and I go, oh, the government doesn't know about it, sure. Because, you know, they'll give you that. What if they go, we get, you also, all right, the government does know about it, but we give you your own army.

I think that's happening either way They give it to you And then they show up years down the road And know, you know, remember we did you this favor And now we need something else for you So once you're compromised Yeah You can't get it back

You can't unring the bell That's tough You're a man of principal So you got it, you got to go You know what I don't even want to get involved At that level of sports You start a team

I'll come and watch some games Yeah You know And I'll go I think this is rigged next Yeah. All right. Well, enjoy this episode.

Rook fast. Prater Silly. Yeah, I want to give a quick recap. I want to thank everybody. We did our big fundraiser show this week. One of the crazier lineups that I've been a part of. All three of these guys were on it, Dusty, Brian, Nate. We had Leon Morgan on it, John Christ, Kathleen Madigan, Fiona Colley, did a spot.

It was really a great show. We raised over $200,000 for the charity to. not the charity for the nonprofit that we've been involved in. So thank you to these guys. I want to say on behalf of Lucy asked me to thank you guys and all the other comics. And then everybody, we had a lot

of Nate Land fans come to the show. They definitely got their money's worth. Hot show. Yeah. Actually, Nate said before I brought him up, he was like, I want people to, I want to make sure people know the crazy show that they're getting.

And I feel like people did get that. I heard a guy on his phone leaving the club. He goes, you will not believe the show I just walked out of. So that made me feel good. It's a show that almost could not exist. Yeah, it shouldn't. And actually, unfortunately, with the way everybody is, like, top to bottom, it's like, yeah, it's, I mean, it's a show that, I don't know, you would, if someone had to pay

for that show to be there. It'd be a lot. Yeah, it would be, it would be nuts. So we had fans come to the show. We had fans donate, and even just on the road, people asking me about it and all of that. So we appreciate everything. Thank you guys. It was a tremendous success by any metric, so we were really pumped about it.

I'm happy to be there. All right, y'all enjoy me, Bates, Leanne, a decent amount of Aaron. Too much. Dusty was not there, but he came in, but I think you did great today. Yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah. And, yeah, enjoy listening to you. the opposite of what we just talked about.

Fall is here. It's autumn time, Brian Bates. And for me, it gets harder to get up and going because it's getting dark earlier. It's a little cooler. It feels comfortable to just stay in the bed.

Well, welcome. Welcome. So glad to see you. We were talking on the phone yesterday, brainstorming some ideas for podcast. and I could hear the checkout thing. And I said, are you at the grocery store? And she's like, yeah, I'm getting whatever, blah, blah, blah. Dr. Pepper Cherry Zero, which is gone.

You can't find it. Well, Dr. Pepper's doing amazing things right now, aren't they? Yeah, yeah. They got all kinds of different flavors just popping up. So get them while you can. Get them while you can. I don't know if the blankberry is that popular. It's always available.

It was not popular in my house, I'll tell you that. But I enjoyed it. That cheery, Dr. Pepper Zero, and he talked to me through two grocery stores. Well, that's what I was good too. So then I hear her get in her car. And then later on, I hear her check out again. I was like, are you in a different grocery store? At what point do you take the hint, Brian, and hang up?

I had a hole. Leah keeps going, well, I'm running errands out here anyway. Like, yeah, well, let's talk about the podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I went to Walmart, and then I went to Kroger. And then I even finished after we got on the phone, I went to Food City. Nobody had it. Oh, man.

And I got hooked on it. I'm not hooked on it because I can't find it. I would be hooked if I was, but for my 60th birthday, I just turned 60. I hate to say that in front of my boyfriends. But I went to the beach and my, somebody got some somewhere at a public's down there. And I poured it over ice. Oh, unbelievable. It's the best.

I don't want to drink alcohol anymore because it makes me sweat, boys, because I'm in menopause. It makes me waller in the band. all night. And I'll just tell you, I can't enjoy anything. I do sometimes push through and drink a margarita when I'm eating a chip. But I'm telling you, that's the best thing that's ever happened. But anyway, yes, and I've got, I don't even know what I got. I bought a bunch of stuff I didn't need for grandbabies because I want them to love to come to my house. And I talk to my sweet brine, is the whole thing. Is Food City based in Knoxville? Because the arena's called Food City, right?

It is. They just changed that from Thompson Bowling to Food City. Yeah. So I wonder if they're based on. Whenever I see that, I think that sounds so these third world countries are watching the Food City. The Food City Arena. Is that what it's called? Yeah, I think so. Oh, wow. Yeah, they just changed it. Welcome back to Food Lion Stadium. Do you get, um... I used to shop at a food line and I had little babies. When you're not on the phone with people like me, do you get bombarded with fans when you're ever here at the store? Um, yeah. But this one, I was out on a, on a different part of town in Oxford.

Uh-huh. And nobody was at that little Walmart or that Kroger at that time of day, and I had a ball. And I have a ball when people, when I see people, but I didn't, no one noticed me. No one. And I, and I just walked and talked and did, because if people can hear my voice, they recognize me. Right. But they, it's more my voice than my, you know. seeing me but um but yeah i honey let me tell real quick food city okay i mean food line i was in

morristown tennessee i'd had my first baby pregnant with my second one and and chucks mom and daddy let us buy their house for a really good deal so we got you know would have never been able to afford that house and they decided to leave their cat there and i've never i'm not a cat person right i love dogs, but I can't, my sister was allergic, we never had them. They left this cat and that can't, I was big pregnant, so I was nauseated and I'd have to take that can of

cat food and then go, you know, and I was like, vomit in the bush. And then that can't got to where it scratched, Charlie, my baby, and I went to Food Line, and some little man, some little boy, I said I've got to buy this cat food.

And this cat's killing me, and I was a big pregnant, he goes, you want me to take care of it? He goes, where are you lamb? He was a cat assassin. And I went, no, thank you. But he was willing to come and kill my, that cat. Was he licensed or is just a hobby of this guy? It was just a little redneck Costco boy.

He goes, I don't think, girl, you tell me where you live. I got it. Forget to bring it inside one of these nights and it won't be a problem anymore. That's incredible. I don't want a murder. I didn't want that. But anyway, that's my food line story. I tell you what's a good grocery store is Ingles in Knoxville

because they play really good 80s, like when I was clubbing and smoking cigarettes. So when I go in there and shop, I mean, it's like it's own. I-N-G-L-E-S. Yeah, I-N-G-L-E-S. They've got a wonderful organic line. It's very affordable. Ingles, and there's, yeah, they're wonderful. And they play the most everybody.

Everybody's going down the aisle. Everybody's dancing. Who are we talking about? Robert Palmer? Like, what's the... Yes. Robert Palmer, Earth went and fire. Gloria Gaynor. I don't even know.

I mean, where you can't even... You can't sit still. Prince. Okay. Madonna. Banana Ramma. That was my whole thing. I had a whole English vibe.

Did you ever get into bread? Do you ever get into bread? I'm sure I did. Might be before your time. I mean, what about... It might be. I was born in 19. I was a very 80s, girl.

Okay. What about the arithmetic? Loved them. Any Lennox? Loved them. I could see you like him. Yeah. You know, I just read totally kind of unrelated.

You know who the wealthiest actor is in the world? Who? Hold on. Let me think about this. Can I ask you a couple questions? Yeah. Is it a man? No.

Is it a... It's a bit of a trick question. Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Louis Dreyfus. Those are good guesses because it's in that vein. Okay. Where they made their money ways other than... I mean, Rihanna is technically an actress. Taylor Swift, technically an actress.

I got this, you know, I didn't research this. Okay. I got this off... You heard this from a guy. Is she a grandmother? She's exactly your age. She turned 60 next week. I have no idea.

I did a lot of research on this person. Okay. Jamie Gertz. never even heard of her you know Jamie Gertz lost boys and she's on episode of Seinfeld she made a lot of movies

she was in Twister she is part owner of the Atlanta Hawks basketball team okay she is a building oh my gosh how about that

she and her husband are both partial owners of the Atlanta Hawks and they've done a lot of investing and so she's a billionaire 16 candles still standing

yeah that whole area Yeah. How about that? Good for her. I don't know if that's true, but that's what I read. Oh, my gosh. I love her. 16 candles.

That's my age. Okay. Yeah. Molly Ringwald, Breakfast Club. Sure, yeah. All is John Hughes movies. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Well, so this comes out next week, this episode. Oh. So just keep that in mind for what we're talking about as far as things coming up and things that have happened and things like that. Okay. So this will be out next week. So I would have just been in, well, we did the Praeter Silly event.

That's right. Here at Zanis. Yeah, October 22nd. Yep, that went great. I got a standing elevation. No one else did. I went last. Yeah.

That was my idea. I said, we got to end strong. Let's close it out with Brian. Yeah. These guys got down. They're like, we got one more for you. Breakfast. Yeah.

Well, thank you for doing that, Leanne. That's why you're here today, so I appreciate it. Oh, my darling. It means a lot to us. It was my honor, my angel. First Baptist Church, Simpsonville, South Carolina, this Friday, which would have been in the past by the time this comes out. Shout out to all of them.

Had a great time. Public dinner there. And then another standing ovation. They just won't stay seated. Ryan's on safe. The pastor's wife loved me. And, oh, Saturday night, Chattanooga with John Christ. Oh, okay.

Yeah, soldiers and sailors. Oh, how about that? Yeah. Oh, wonderful. And again, I got to stay in the elevation. John did not. If you're listening, because people get confused when I make these jokes, this has not happened yet. So we're pre-recording.

But make it happen. That's called putting it out there. Yeah, I put it out there. Manifesting. Yeah. You're going to get a standing o at least one of these shows, I think. That's typically how it happens. I'm not good at all this.

This happened. Well, let me help you. This comes out. I know where you're going. You're going to Philadelphia. Philadelphia in Boston. I've been in Philadelphia, but never Boston. Okay.

And I'm doing the wing. Three shows. Yeah. That's awesome. I know. Oh, I've got to act like I've done them. you've got a standing ovation standing ovation

women through their purse in there man blue kisses at me yep yep yep but that's you know it's nifty to say Boston because I'm you know I always wanted to play Boston and I thought that was that's where the cool people

come. Yeah it's the city that the most it feels to me the most not the south does that make it feels like it's like a whole different part of the country and I know it that sounds stupid but it's like man Boston's like a whole different thing. And it's such a great comedy city.

Yeah, it's incredible to go do three shows there. That's amazing. Thank you. You've never been to Boston. I've driven through there, pregnant with my last baby. This is going to be a trend going out. Did not know it. I was going with Chuck Morgan to his best friend from high school married a girl from Yale.

And everybody was working on their dissertation. And I was pregnant with my third baby and my feet had swollen. And I didn't know. I took a big old bank of feminine protection because I thought, I'm not pregnant. And I just would set up in the car. And I remember him saying, we're going through Boston. Do you want to stop? And I mean, I was out of my head tired.

And then all those women talked about their thesis. And I talked about Barney. That was my third baby in like five and a half years. And they were all. I've got to say the girls in the South there at that wedding were more dressed up than the girls at Yale. But we had a wonderful time. And I remember Chunk said, I'm taking you to Newport. And I said, do we need to carry a gun?

I thought he met Newport, Tennessee. He was talking about Newport where the Vanderbilt's and all those hooty-do people had all those gold mansions. I had no idea. Is this the wedding where you found out you were pregnant? I found out I was pregnant with, oh, I got back. I was, I felt bad and was swollen and my feet were swelling up in my ankles. I was so tired and I thought, why do I feel so bad? I think I've been pregnant for 10 years.

And then I got home and I think that's when I went to Walmart, peeped on a stick, and Charlie looked at me and said, is it positive? That was an old bet. He didn't really say that and he was three. But he did look at me like, what the? You know, is there another one coming? And that's when I called Chuck and said, I'm going to walk out in the woods and let the animals eat me.

But it was because I was overwhelmed and he was selling mobile homes and you have to be on a lot late at night. Yeah, yeah. But what a blessing that our baby was, honey. I should have been to this Boston trip. I was like, wow. Yes, blessing. All right.

Crazy. That's wild. Crazy. So is it going to feel like you're slum in it in these 3,000-seat theaters? No, I love them. That's, to me, that's, well, some of these arenas feel very intimate and good. Some of them feel cavernous and, you know, kind of freak me out. But, yeah, I think, I think 3,000, I think anything 1,500 or 3,000 is a sweet spot.

That's my philosophy, too. Yeah. I mean, y'all work them all the time. don't you find? No, I'm pretty happy with 50 in a room right now. 50 to 150, that's my sweet spot right there. Anything more than that, it doesn't feel personal enough. Well, you know, right before this happened to me, I was in Orlando at the Improv, and I had such a good time, and I sold probably 60 tickets, and they said, we love her. She didn't get drunk and fighting the parking lot, but we're not having her back. She can't sell any tickets, and I got so down and out.

And six months later, they begged me to come back. I started selling her. What do you play it now in Orlando? Like the Disney Castle probably? There's an arena. There's an arena there. I just played this year. What is that one? It's amazing.

Not the big Nate one. Not where the magic play? Yeah. Even though I just did American Airlines like he did and they said to me the Mavericks play here and Dua Lepa's coming and I thought, because y'all ain't have told me that. All right. Who's coming? Dua Lita.

Dua Lita was coming to the, you were, you're, Your face was ticketed thing around, Maroon 5, Duolipa, and the Mavericks. Yeah. That's a big arena. That's a big one. But you did it in the round, right? Yeah. I did not, I did the, you know, out here about 55 yards from people.

The poor man's way. But I did two. But I did two. Two's crazy. It's really, it's, it's, it is, that's nuts. That's a ton. Unbelievable, really, Lane. Thank you, my darling.

Like, it's a crazy. You could have done the round, truthfully. I want, if I ever to get to do it again, I want to do the round. The round is great. I think that makes me feel better. Yeah, it's, I mean, that's how everybody sees it. Usually, you have the big screens. Make sure the screens are big.

But the round does feel better because you're in the middle. You're closer to kind of everybody. But it depends on, like, the routing and how all this stuff kind of works out. But telling two of those arenas. I mean, it's like, it's a giant, giant arena. Yeah. A giant arena. And so, yeah.

Great. That's great. It's crazy. Thank you, my daughter. When I saw you post it, I was like, man, it's the real deal right there. Thank you. And then the night after that, I went to Tarleton State and did their small arena, which is the number one rodeo school in the United States of America, and they gave me a sweatshirt.

Oh, wow. And I was thrilled. And they gave my grandson's golf shirts with the little rodeo thing on them. Yeah. It's not a small arena. It's just their arena. It's their arena. Yeah.

You're doing arenas. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. I mean, you can classify it how you want to to maybe tone it down, but maybe for your own sanity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's doing arenas, which is remarkable. Well, thank you, my darling.

Yeah. I feel special. Yeah. I can't believe it every day. I pinch myself. Yeah. I cannot believe. I was just telling him before you came in here that I had done Orlando improv,

sold 60 tickets, and they said, We love her. She doesn't get drunk and fighting the parking lot, but we're not having her back. Yeah. And I thought I was going to quit. Yeah. And that was in my early 50, work at Target. I'm always wanted to work at Target and the bedding.

I could see that. You don't think I could dazzle? I could dazzle at the Target. Like Target should have you as their spokesman. Like it's, I've never thought of something that gelled together more than you and Target. Right. I think you'd still be more successful with that. Working at Target.

Yeah, that's how good I think you'd. You'd be CEO of Target in five years, yes. What arena did you do there? You said you did, what are you talking about in Orlando? No, when I did the little improv in my, yeah, yeah, yeah, before this. I think I may have done the Kia. That's where the Magic player. Is there a smaller arena in Orlando?

I don't know. Or they've done a theater. Maybe they blacked out some things, but I think, you're right. I think maybe I did the Kia. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. About 10,000? It was more than 60 either way.

Yeah. It was more than 60 people. It's more than 60 people. Yeah. If you're at 10,000, yes. Because otherwise you're going to be doing multiple shows in an arena. So, I mean, like a theater. They have a beautiful theater there.

Like a really, really beautiful theater. It might be called the Disney Theater or something, but it's like downtown. And it's, I mean, just was like very stunning. I did that, I did that Disney, the Disney one downtown. Very, very nice. And then this last time I did. Takeasina, that means, let me tell you, when they book you on that, they have to work around the NBA team's schedule.

You and the NBA are talked at the same time because they've got to know, well, when's Leanne coming? We've got a game against the Pacers. Well, don't you know they'll sit in there going, this woman, this grandmama named Leanne, we got to work around. She sold 60 tickets at the improv last year. I'm not going to move around our NBA Cup schedule

What if you went back to the improv It still could only sell six tickets And you could go back and go So it's your fault Yeah, exactly Yeah, that's right Yeah, maybe it's on you guys That's a great improv too

The Orlando one Yeah Yeah I had to do It was very funny So I've been at Zaini Sorry, I know I'm always late

I'm sorry I was outside relaxing, just laying in the sleep in the car. So, I'm doing a fitting. I just had to do a fitting here. And so I'm trying to have an eye of a suit on. And this guy walks in, like, that's working on the, do you see him? He's got two boots on. Yeah, yeah.

Like, what's the, it's for, like, if you break your ankle or something, or you break your, you strain your foot. What's the, you know, the big boot that you wear? Yeah, yeah. He's wearing one on both feet. it's it's unbelievable like I was like wow I was like that's he be still here his calves were the biggest calves of everything back yeah they was like almost like you're like are they are you hurt or is this just like I like I like these boots like he's wearing two boots and then so he comes in and he's like working he's got drywall and stuff and he's got to walk by me I'm like kind of out there and I got like a suit on and it was like cousin Eddie and the vacation where he like well and he goes he just gave me a little like he didn't really know what to say

but I got his suit on and he's just like and I go I appreciate man just me and him and I saw you in that suit and I could not get my toe in your pants I don't know why you do that because I would want to be your size

in a pair of pants so that I would look good on TV I pictured you literally trying to put your toe in my pants while you were wearing while you're wearing and I'm like yeah I go God

Is these the 80s you always talk about? She did awful things. Yes, that would have been the 80s, yeah. I may have tried to put my toe in your pants in the 80. Yeah. But yeah, when you see yourself on TV and think, oh, my Lord, that is not my butt. Oh, yeah, yeah. And then I saw you in that suit.

No, it's all hidden. It's all. I'm a mess. Boy, I've been eating some sonic. I mean, I've been on some tears. Sonic sound, it does sound like the saddest of them. No, Sonic is you're not even, you're not even getting out of your card. But I think it's the most pleasurable going there because you're ordering like old school.

So it's like kind of fun. It doesn't feel like fast food because you're like, you know. I'm at a sock hop. But really, you're at, you're at. But you know, that's where people, when the people talk about food, like I always think you could have McDonald's food, but have it in like a nice restaurant and no one would know. like they would if you could somehow hide it like they give you McDonald fries sometimes that look like that

at a nice restaurant where you could do that and they'd be like well these are great and you're like those are just regular McDonald's fries we just have it dressed up you could church it up a little bit

and fool people for sure yeah I mean that's when you know everybody's like you know what do they go Kava and not like everybody does all this healthy you're like we're not you're not far off

like you know we're not if you go to Kava. And I like, I like, I've been, I don't, I don't, I don't know what it is. I don't know. I don't know what it is either. Mediterranean bowls. It's healthier. It's like healthy fast. It's good. It's good. I have, I've eaten it. I like it. I have eaten it. I like it. I need to eat more of it. I understand that. But if you see Kava and you see, to McDonald's, you're like, don't act like we're not on the same planet. Like we're not, you know, we're in the

realm of, you know, you can get some fried stuff there, I'm sure. Can you? No, probably not. All right. All right. Maybe go to COVID. I should probably go. Get a grain, a grain and a protein. Yeah. A pickled vegetables. Good for your microbiome. I don't know what all that's took you. What's your weight right now? One of my daughters dated a nutritionist, and let me tell you, it wasn't fun to take him on vacation. yeah murder what's your go-to fast food probably just I don't I don't I still go to Chick-fil-A yeah and then I don't think they yeah I don't think

I would picture you like more home-cooked things or like cookies or like is there cookies I do love a cookie just chocolate chip cookies just looking at your body lean I'm going to guess cookies and Jolly Ranchers and cookies and I just had to eyeball it right here He goes, Aaron, you're a funnel cake guy, obviously. I can tell that about the sugar on your shirt.

Do you ever say no sugar and just say, I'm going on a diet? No sugar on the funnel cake? Could you order a funnel cake with no sugar? I mean, I could do it. It's not ideal. Yeah, it's not ideal. I wonder if it'd be as good. That it would not.

No. Yeah. I feel like that your answer is like Newman, or them cramines? when they're doing their interview. Yeah. Yeah. Just putting nothing into it, and we'll be right back.

The wax beans. Yeah. Take the label off. It comes right. Yeah. Looks good. All right. I'm reading.

Yeah, we've just been catching up, so we can get some comments. Okay. Amanda Boa. I wonder. Boa. Boa. It's in all caps.

So that's why it's confusing. Amanda Boa. Amanda Boa? It's a great name if it is real. That is a good name. I bet she wouldn't have married into it either. I bet this is her maiden name. If she's married.

If she's married. She sounds like she married somebody exotic. Yeah. No, but I think, but you don't, Amanda Boa is like too good of a name. I don't think you get that lucky to marry into such a good name. I think if you married, you don't change your name. You keep Boa.

Yeah. Yeah, she could still be married. I don't want to speak for all folks, but I truly feel like part of an actual community watching every episode of the podcast. I highly suggest that if someone hasn't seen all the episodes to do it, listen to Nate Land has been a lifesaver for me the last two years. The jokes, banter, the crackups, honestly better than any network watching. Boy, you all need to take that in you. I know, we do. Better than any.

Yeah, I was going to say. What did he say? I was about to say better than any show streaming. the is right now. The trash on Netflix. Just come listen to us. Drone on. No, Amanda, that is the sweetest.

That's why we want to do it. That's how we do. And go check out Leanne's show. It's great. Thank you. It is. It's crazy. You got a show.

Look at you. Got a season two. I wrong my hands. I walked the floors and wrung my hands for 31 days. You know, Netflix doesn't tell you anything. Yeah. And I was so tickled. How do you find out?

Who did you get a phone call from when that happens. Me. It gets to Bates first. You have to put Bates on hold to take the phone call, I'm sure, yeah. But who? And Bates delivered it, like, depressing. I guess you're doing another season.

I guess you'll be going to California. And then you're like, oh, man. And you're happy, but you got to. Bates makes it off. Yeah, and he goes. A lot more time away for your family, huh? Yeah. You're like, geez, Brian.

Come up. You know, I guess. Put your career over your family. Congratulations. I guess I would do it, too, if I had. You know, yeah. But, all right, yeah, you're doing season two. So, all right, we're seeing.

They want me to help. Yeah, temper expectations. Yeah, that's how I'd go. It was a big Zoom, though. But how did it? Big Zoom with Warner Brothers, Netflix, a bunch of people on it. And they're just like. And I was in a car.

I was on the road. So I was in a, my people I was with were in there eating at McAllister's Deli. Oh, yeah. So I went to sit in the car and put my phone up and sweat and pitted up. What did they have done all those people if they were saying we weren't doing? I was going to say once you see people from Warner Brothers popping in the Zoom, you probably think it's good news, right? I felt good. Yeah.

If it had been my manager, if Judy had called me on the side, then, you know, I would have known something bad was going down. But you don't know. I was up against those hunting wives, all those women killing boars in their panties. How was I supposed to compete with? I got, I was number two. It sounds like to show that you would be doing. Your accent definitely sounds like they. You should be killing wars like they go.

Leanne in the 80s would have been on that one. I don't like killing, but... I could have worn my panties on film. What Netflix did is good because they need... You can have that kind of type of show, but you've got to have stuff that they can... Like, people can just rely on and go watch and comfortably watch. Every night can't be the most extreme night in the world.

And it takes a lot of talent to make a show that's rewatchable, that's fun, that everybody can sit around. And, like, that's the shows that last for a long time. So that's a big deal. It's not a hook. It's not a crazy, like, thing that's got to be all. It's just straight up you. So it's good. Thank you, my darling.

Not as good as this podcast, but. Vanessa Marte, due to it being October, I've been watching, I've been messing me up. due to it being October. I've been watching the screen movies. Thanks so much for bringing Dewey, David Arquette's character, out. Yeah. We had David Arquette on last week. Little David Arquette.

Little David Arquette. It was very fun. Yeah. I love all those arcans. Yeah. Talented family. It is a very talented family. Yeah, we didn't even really talk about that.

We didn't mention a sister once. I was wondering if that's like, I'm sure he gets asked about that all the time. I was kind of glad that we didn't. I almost brought up... Well, I mean, when we walked out, he said, why don't y'all bring them my sister? Yeah. There's two sisters, and then there's also,

there was a brother that was in Wedding Singer, that transition, was that a female sister? Family shows. And then there was the daddy. His mom and daddy, I think, were both actors, weren't they? Yeah, he talked about his... He talked about his dad being cast and some stuff. I remember his dad.

Was it Hitchh. Hitchhawk? Hitchcock, yeah. Is that how you say it? Hitchcock. How did I say it? Hitchhawk. He was before.

He was like the Gallagher too. If I get Tim Robbins on there, you ever see Shalshank Redemption? Do you ever see the Shalshank? Oh, Chuck Morgan. watches it all the time. I knew I liked him. Nate's never seen it. Refuses to see it.

I don't refuse to see it. Yeah. The mood has not struck. I showed up at his house one night. Shawshank on Blu-ray. He told me to go home. But we should set it up and watch it. You would love it.

Set it up and watch it. The mood has not struck me yet. But you don't even know what the movie is about. So how would you know if the mood's right or not? I have a general idea and I've got it mixed in with the green mile and I think it's going to be. Well, same author. director, so that makes sense.

Some reason that's there. Have you seen the Green Mile? No. No. But. I have got wrenching. Yeah. It's great.

Yeah. But I remember being that, so I think it's going to be a lot. And that's what I haven't watched it. Because I'm like, oh, it's going to be a whole thing. Yeah, it is. It is in parts. And I haven't been in the mood for a whole thing. Okay.

You got enough thing. You got enough things. I will watch when, you know, who do we got to get on to Tim? We've got to get him to... I mean, him or Morgan Freeman or... Yeah. Bob Gunton. Morgan Freeman.

Yeah. Bob Gunton might be... Keep going. Keep going. Stephen King, Frank Darabont. Stephen King seems fun. I've been to his house. Hanging out with him or just to go by?

They have his house. It's like a tourist attraction. It's in Maine or something. Most Shawshank takes place in Maine. Yeah, yeah. Almost all the stories take place in Maine, because that's where he's from. Yeah. The Dome. Remember that TV show? That was Stephen King. Beyond the Dome? Or was it just the Dome? Yeah, maybe Beyond the Dome or the Dome.

We've talked about it before. It's the Dome that lanes. Under the Dome. Under the Dome. Yeah. Really, yeah. I mean, it was like leading up to it. I was so excited. And then they canceled it, right? You're talking about the book or is there a TV show? No, no, there's a TV show. Okay. You're excited for the release of a book? thousand pages nope thousand seventy four pages

that's wild all right Aaron Robertson I'm sitting in the jury selection pool waiting to be assigned to a case and thanking the Lord I have the podcast to keep me occupied the jury selection pool is truly the last true

cross section of America it would be great people watching if we weren't stuffed in a basement with everyone's face buried in their phones yep very true that is true Yeah, it is the last true cross section of America. Yeah, if you're looking to get out of jury duty, just tell them you're listening to this podcast.

They'll probably be like, nah, you're good. Yeah. Yeah. Have you ever done jury duty? I got called for a murder, like a horrible murder case in Knoxville, and I had a new purse that Chuck Morgan had bought me. And I think they looked at my purse and thought, she doesn't know what she's talking about. They let me go. Wow.

But I was thankful because it was gruesome. And they said, this is going to be gruesome, and I thought it'll mess with me, and I don't know if I can handle that. And I don't know if I looked like, you know, a mom that just could not relate to all that. And I got... Did you follow the trial? Yeah. It was it like... But I didn't get...

They said, there's going to be pictures. Yeah. There's going to be horrible things that, you know, y'all are going to have to look at and all that. I didn't, you know, get into all that, but I... But I'm saying you followed the trial. Can you say the trial? Or following what it ended up happening? Is it like a famous one or no?

No. No, just one in Knoxville. Like it was just... It was a love triangle between three homeless people. Oh, okay. And what two did to one was like. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaking of Stephen King. Yeah. Or somebody, real quick, can we just touch on that little Matt Rife bought that evil doll something? Did y'all talk about that? Are you worried about him? Yeah. Oh, yeah. What was it?

Condole from the Conjuring. Oh, yeah. I just watched, we just watched Conjuring. Yeah, and he bought the house? He bought that. You know that little museum they had on the side? He bought that. He bought it all because it was going to go out of business, I think.

And he's like, I want to preserve this. Yeah. Should you hit him up about it. Yeah. But would you be welcoming demons into your life with that? No, no, no. I'll go visit them, but I'm not bringing it. I would think so.

No, I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to touch any of that stuff. Uh-uh. No. Okay. But I like that somebody, so just keep it there. Right? Yeah. So there's a value in that.

Just keep it locked up. Don't give it out in the world. Don't give it to goodwill or something and then a little kid buys it. Oh, murder. Yeah, yeah. Well, but they would know what they're buying. I think he's just buying a raggedy and all. He's got his probably stay there.

I bet he stays there. Am I right? Yeah. Surely not. No. If you own it, I think he's young. I mean, he's like, yeah, there's no way. He's living in the conjuring house?

He won't know if he's living in, but I think you have to. You will spend the night in it. Well, that's different than staying there. Like, what's the difference? They're, there, if the people that went there to help get it out, they'd stay and live there. They stayed. But he's arguing, like, keep it underlocking key. I know, but I mean, it's.

So the devil can't get out. Right, right, right. Because I think if you burn it or something, then it just goes up into the, yeah. They want it to. stay in that vessel. Right. Yeah. So lock it up.

Yeah. It seems like it. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a whole thing. Doug Robertson. Ever get the yips with a word? And I was a pastor. I once at a funeral and said the family's last name for the first time

while reading the eulogy. From the front row, I heard a noise and thought someone was correcting my pronunciation. My brain melted as I had to say that name seven more times. By the end, the 400 plus people attending were saying the name with me while reading alone in their bulletin. I've never been so jealous of the person in the casket. That's tough. That's tough. It was Smith. It would be funny. It was like a real basic name. Yeah. But sometimes you can like get in your head about a word. Like, am I even saying that? Yeah. I'll see about it.

Oh, yeah. When you, I'll mess up every time I mess up words because I just, you start honing in on it. You start overthinking it. Yeah. It's a lot of pressure to do a funeral like that. You don't even know the family. It's a lot of pressure. I blame Doug for not asking you ahead of time. How do you say their name?

You know, but it's like it is. He's a pastor. Yeah, I picture it's like. He's done probably, I mean, it's like a good job that you have to, hundreds of funerals that you're, you know, it's like working in the funeral homes. It's just. I picture it's like you're a court-appointed attorney and you show up in the hand, as you're walking in. They're like, here's, you know, you've got to read over it real quick.

You know some will some won't Amy Davis We've been watched Leanne With my 7 year old daughter And loved it The best part was here My daughter Ivy Soft launch her fake Southern accent after watching 16 episodes of Leanne.

She is a true Nate Land girly. Thanks for all the family-friendly content. Oh, Amy, thank you, my darling. That's nice. I hear a lot of people say to me, little children watch it, and I guess they think my accent's funny. I need to start going around to preschools and reading. Oh, yeah.

They would love it. Aaron Vandergriff. I watched Leanne. and was worried she and Chuck had split. I was so upset about it. I couldn't finish the first episode. Have y'all? No.

Aaron just know that Chuck Morgan is so crazy about me that I had shingles three weeks ago and he wanted to make out with me and I had the shingles. I was like, can I just heal from the shingles, Chuck? Is that on your shin? It was on the back of my hair. I thought they were only shin related.

No, you can have them on your ways. Sheen goals, I thought that's got started halfway there. My shin, I probably could have made out. No, this is the back of my, they're wherever nerve endings are. Yeah. And Chuck Morgan is in love with me and will not leave me alone. So Aaron just know that I'm not really in having anything with Tim Daly. Okay.

He wears the size suit pants that Nate does. Could get your toe in. Very good shape. Couldn't get my toe in there. Yeah. But I made out with him. I had to. It was acting.

Exactly. Yeah. And every take, he would kiss me just like, I mean, full steam. I had. So I just sent and T.S. my babies, my makeup artist would just sit and watch me make out with Tim. Yeah. But I tell people, when I called Chuck Morgan and said, I'm making out with Tim Daly.

They want me to make out. He didn't care because he wants me to make money. Yeah. Okay. That's the most important thing. Yeah. It did not bother Chuck. Morgan, one bit.

So, Aaron, everything's okay. He doesn't want shingles either. Is it contagious? No. No, it might be. And I've had the vaccine. But it doesn't keep you from getting the shingles. And y'all are all young.

But just when you, when it's time for y'all to get the shingle vaccine. I mean, I've had shingles. You have? Currently. You've got to get the shingles vaccine. He's had them more than he has it. But you need to take on five days. It's a booger, honey.

I don't have it currently. I mean, no, I'm talking about the vaccine. I think he'll find five days he can take off. I think y'all, you know, I think he'd be happy, just have something to do. Each other, I think it's coming one direction. Well, people are listening. That's very funny. That's very funny.

I did have it and it was on my face and I had to do a gig with Dusty and stand up alive in Huntsville and Dusty took me to some medical some ornament place that like off the market you know off the grid place to get me something I wore it was up here and I wore a hat on stage for the only time ever because of it

oh my darling how the shows got shows went fine okay yeah just just one show. We drove down there, drove back, but yeah, it wasn't fun. Uh-uh.

It's not fun. It's hard to know you're sitting on your closer the whole time and you just got to wait. If you got to pull the parachute, you just go. That's the reveal?

Well, I don't know, maybe you're just sitting there if it started going bad, you go, all right, you know what? I have shingling

everybody. And they make them have to deal with that. And they're like, ah, man, I'm sorry, man. How you feel now and not laughing? But think about this.

shingles is a funny word it is the shingles he thought it was into your shins till right now shingles that's where it starts they say if you've had the chicken pox the shingles virus is already inside you and that's my age and i had the chicken pox that's what it is i never had the chicken box you never had a chicken pox party that's what we did i think we tried with my brother and i never got them wow never got the chicken box oh my darling just built different dude just built different Mm-hmm. I'm going to pay for it someday. It's all going to... Kelly Rathbun.

I watched Pete Davidson on a podcast, and he mentioned Nate on two separate occasions. One time specifically was in reference to whether he found many father figures in his life after his dad died, and Nate was one of the men that were named as good influence. Well, that's very sweet. I just thought that was really great, and it warmed my heart. See? Oh, you need to tend to Pete Davidson. I keep an eye on him

He's all right He's doing good And he was like 16 When he was like 16 Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Yeah he was very young when he did That's very nice

That's very sweet That is sweet Women love him I think I'm mean He can get women Yep Yep Yeah yeah

He's Pete's the best Yeah he's doing good Thank you Pete Justin It was crazy When he was young I mean It was 16 dude

Just like In the New York Standup scene And it was unbelievable. Like he's so young. There was another kid, too, that was, that did it. So you've known him that long. Yeah.

I mean, we did Montreal. You did JFL with Bo Burnham, too, right? Yeah. He was 16. 16. When I met Bo Burnham. Wow. Pete was 16.

Yeah. All the stuff. Yeah. He was just around them. And then they, they, they, you could tell. I mean, Pete, you could tell with him, Bo. Bo was just so, was like a fiend. It was just so crazy what he was doing.

It was just like, you know, especially because YouTube was new, and so it's like this thing that no one ever has seen before. But, yeah, Pete was the same. Pete hung out, and yeah, it was always very funny and great. And yeah, look. All right, Justin Higgins. Leon Morgan could do another TV show where she tries to get, tries to set Greg Warren up with some of her darling friends.

It would be called Single Lady, Single Man. I want him to have a baby so bad. Because he's a Division I wrestler. He needs a little wrestling baby. And I've been to him. I think that ship is sailed. A man can have a baby forever. Don't put your gun down.

I know. I love Greg Warren. I love Greg Warren. We're big fans of Greg. Yep. Yakov Smirnoff is what in the 70s? Yeah, just had a baby. Yeah, so maybe he's, so Greg's waiting.

Yeah. He's too young. And see, my crowd, when he's with me, it's all these darling, cute women and cross-body purrs, ready to roll. Does he have to, does he come out, like Elvis to the van? Like, it's women yelling. And then he's like, all right, ladies. Just Greg. Running.

Yeah, kind of. Kind of. He goes out, takes his shirt off, and they go. It's not bad. Maybe they could show him, before he comes out and opens before you, show him that video of him running. He's 40. Yeah. He did it. He ran. He was second place.

Yeah, he did. He came in second. He's an athlete. He's an athlete. Oh, yeah. I need to put up on the screen when he's ever with me again to put up when he was five years old in his wrestling singlet. And he was going, you would have eaten his lips off. Every woman would want to marry him and have a baby by him. From the five-year-old picture. Yes, that's how women think. Like, look at that yummy baby. I want a baby with him. Yes, that's how women think.

Oh, okay. It makes sense. Yeah, you'd probably start with that. Were y'all thinking something tweets? No. We were just like, we were thinking, they were just thinking, why would that be interesting? None of it made sense. Why would they look at a picture? Like, if I said, if you saw this, I don't even want to say it.

It's like, it's that, but it's, yeah. It makes sense now. It makes sense now the way you said it. Okay. We're back. All right. Don Wilson. My wedding cater was the 2004 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Champion.

That was the year Joey Chestnut did not compete And Pat Bertoletti took the belt Pat is a longtime friend and a fellow Chicagoan Look at that Look at that, Don I bet he competes every year Because if he, I would imagine he does He's just always second

Yeah, Patrick Bertoletti Yeah I don't have a lick of sense over a hot dog I love a hot dog Did y'all love a hot dog When you said Sonic The first thing I thought was A chili dog from Sonic

That's funny that Patrick Deep Dish Oh he's a wedding caterer I was like my head It's supposed to coordinate it I was like That doesn't make some planner Yeah like Pat shows up

He goes all right It's gonna get fun What's that clock for? The woman Mickey A 5100 Hot dogs and buns. She's a first woman ever to break the 50 dog threshold.

They say it can be done. They have said that forever and she did it. Man, Pat, 58 hot dogs in what, 10 minutes, 11 minutes? I need a goal, but I don't want to do that. A gold medal. A goal. You know, I need something to work toward. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah. And I need new material. So if I can do something crazy. Or, yeah, if I can do something that's painful and suffering in it, it just go up. It works for me. Yeah, yeah. Getting in the materials, fans, the best and the worst. He has 32 world records.

Man, wow. 47 pieces of Big Apple Pizza in 10 minutes, 29 waffles in 10 minutes. Five pounds of sour pickles in six minutes. This guy's a champion. The mustard belt had eluded him. This was the first time he finally got the hot dog one. That's crazy. Good for him, dude.

Good for him. Well, it's like I bet when you've got a Joey Chestnut, you know, it's probably a Tiger Phil. You know, it's like a not Tiger Field situation. Maybe it is Tiger Field situation where it's just like you're going to get some, but you just can't. You're just, you know, born in the wrong time. But he's unbelievable. I mean, look at that. Joey Chestnut is the hot dog man.

and everybody knows that's a hot dog, man. Look at that. Yeah. Sweet. Like a younger Greg Warren. See, Joey, when he was five. Just eat a little bitty hot dog? Make your uterus sink.

I've got to have a baby by him. Brando. Nate and Aaron, you said you would chase the storm if you had the opportunity. One or both of you should hit up our storm chasers before your October. November show in Oklahoma. That time of year is surprisingly active for severe weather. I am so down to do that. I'm in Tulsa, Oklahoma, November 21st and 22nd.

So let's make it happen. Yeah, Luce, you'll be tickled. I want to go out there and chase. But you go and chase the storm. Well, I will tell her about it, but I'll go do it. I've never heard of a storm chaser getting hurt. Yeah, I think we're done. We're not going back to Oklahoma.

No, we just did Oklahoma. Where else did they say? Oklahoma and where? Just Oklahoma. Oh, just Oklahoma, November. Yeah. I mean, I read that, too. I was in Oklahoma last week.

You could have done it. You would do it, right? Yeah, yeah. I want to. I'll come up, when you go. This person doesn't. November. I don't think they have someone in mind.

So just do the work. All right. So we said just hit up a storm chaser? Yeah. All right. Well, that's me doing this now. That's every. Any storm chasers out there in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area.

Let's do it. I want to go see a tornado. Okay. Mm-hmm. And can also change. when y'all are not storm chasing, go to the Cowboy Museum. I've been to the Cowboy Museum.

It's awesome. It's awesome. It's really cool. Oh, little man walking around that are real cowboys. Tulsa? Yes. Darling, I got a pair of Buffalo salt and pepper shakers,

and my grandbaby loves them and, like, fights them. I don't have a look of a sense over a Buffalo. But did you not love that place? I'm thinking of the one in Oklahoma City. there one in Tolsa? Oh, wait, was it?

I think it's in Oklahoma City. It may have been Oklahoma City. Oklahoma. Oklahoma. Yeah. Which, darling, I love Oklahoma. I love those shows. Do you have a ball in Oklahoma?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Darling people. Oh, yeah, that's where's all this, yeah, all this weekend's. Yeah, Tulsa, okay, Oklahoma City. All right. I saw your schedule and I thought, my Lord. It's a big one. It's a lot.

I'm about to finish my 150 city tour. It's taken me years. Because I shot a television show. But I'm on the end of mine. Yeah. Yeah. But you're going full steam. Yeah, until August.

Until August next year. Yeah. That's great. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And y'all are going full steam around the clock. Yeah, I'm going full steam wherever they'll have us. But that's what it is.

You're always going, like, I'm just doing what I've always. you go full steam you just always are full steam there was no tour schedule I'll be honest the idea of a stand-up tour is you know like I mean Dan Cook did it

whatever you're seeing a lot more tours now or the tour names there's like but with stand-up there's almost never a real cutoff I've never really had the last break was the last time was the first time I've ever even

like literally was like I won't be touring for not nine months or whatever it was. That's the first time in my entire career I've ever done that. Every other one, I've taped the special and kept the tour rolling, and I had three months to write a new act, and then, for whatever, then the special comes out, and then you're just like going.

And it just never, it never stopped. I mean, you go cities once every two years, but it's, you're just always at, and you can go to so many, I'm just at every single city. You're everywhere. I love it, though. The nine months that you took a break, did you say it? Would you get quiet and think? No, I need to get quiet and think.

I need to do bad. I need to work on that. But it's, no, I forget what I did. Like, you know, I still did stand up and whatever. I just love it. And I love trying to figure it out. And, like, it's... What you shot, did that...

Oh, you were doing tour while you were shooting a movie, yeah. Yeah, but then I just love... Like, I did sets here. I forget. I was busy. I was doing something. but it was did your holiday special

if I take off I think nobody loves me nobody cares yeah I feel like that too what am I doing I get yeah yeah and I hate that I feel that way I hate that I feel that way

because I that's what makes me not tick off but uh I feel that way when I'm on yeah right well you would you would think

I don't think it's not that anybody hate you it's you I would always think career wise that I'm going back yeah of course that's what I was that people I think

everybody everybody's forgotten about me. Nobody cares. And my team was saying, just enjoy your time off. But it's hard. Yeah. Because I start thinking,

nobody cares. It's over. I feel like I have one Friday off and everybody's like, what are you not? Are you not working? Yeah. That's how I would work.

Yeah. I, you don't take, it's weird to have time off. I need to do better with it. But, uh, yeah.

But I'll be it, look, after this next tour, which I, you know, I've always said, I was going to quit I'm going I don't I don't know what I'm starting now starting that now I don't know I would never I would let you know I don't know what I what I'm going to do

I don't know I've just been thinking about all that stuff a lot there's a lot it's just uh because it all kind of comes and then you're like I don't know who am I to decide what is needed when I it's not a like I really believe that I'm doing what I'm you know I probably I think I will stop one But I know after this tour, which will be done in August, like, what it looks like is I will probably be shooting some movies. So I think I will be off a good bit. Year and a half, two years, like, the plan is to try to do that. Now, we've got to see if I get, that's the problem, though.

It's like, because I tape a special early next year and I still got dates. It's like hard not to write a new hour. then if you got a new hour it's crazy to then just be sitting on it like I just don't know how to do that I'm afraid I would I've never done that

so you tape special first next year yeah and then when you come out somewhat in the beginning he's worried he's going to accidentally write a great new hour right after that can I have it how about that I might just fall into another hour and it's like can I have it yeah it's just I don't

I don't think it's how it's worked I know. I've seen it. Yeah, it just works. That's how it goes. Did you enjoy doing the movie? Yeah. Yeah.

I was very busy. I was in all the scenes. That's how I like that. As long as that's busy. I was like... And you like learning lines and... Yeah, yeah. I think it's helped me with my stand-up

where I'm a little more animated now and stuff like that. You definitely are. I noticed that. Yeah. And it really adds to their performance and stuff. And so it's, yeah, I, yeah, I think. thought it was great. I need to see, like, you know, I hear it looks good. I'm going to see it, I think, soon, maybe November. I have not seen it yet. So, you know, I hope everybody just goes

out to it. I just want to have, you're just trying to, the same people with their kids, they go to these, to my shows, like, I just want you to be doing that at the movie. And so I want to see if that translates into theaters. Maybe if it can, then that kind of dictates stuff too. So, like, it feels like it translates, and people are taking their families, go to these movies, and they're watching, and there's, and you feel the purpose of making it,

then, you know, yeah. I know you don't ever hear of anything where people can sit down and watch something with their children. We need that. Leanne, a little Amy and Ivy. That has been sweet. People tell me that.

But, like, with grandparents and parents and grandchildren, and that means a lot to me, you know? I wanted it to be that. It's, when you see anybody, I mean, obviously, like, grandmowers at the show, like, there's nothing on the planet that's built for them. Almost anybody, once you get older, nothing's made for you. Yeah, not even like Dave and Busters at that point. Yeah, even, but I mean, that, you could borderline be,

you're even in your 40s and 50 my age whatever there's just not a lot made for you it's like the next they're all into the newer thing and that's actually the time when people are spending money that's what i never understood that 18 to this 24 like thing where they wanted those it's like you got to get them that's the main demographic and you're like that's the demographic that doesn't have money to buy a car yeah they can't do it's like you want the they control what's cool i know but it seems like you could hear from them and be like you keep an eye on them but i wouldn't why would you base your whole system on you know they like tv you're like tv should just straight up be going hard at like just getting like around our age late 30s and on up should just be like pounding yeah and just go like we're going to get people that don't want to flip through a million things and especially this younger generation, like Harper, I mean, they've looked through YouTube, whatever. It's all, all it is is flipping. They've never, like, just had to watch something because it was on, and that's all that

was on. Yeah. Yeah. But I think it's going to go back to that because I think so. My wife's cousin, relative of my wife, a young kid, was watching TV, and a commercial came on, and they thought, they thought it was broken. They thought, like, it was, because they're like, I don't even know what this is. It was, I go, you're just watching TV. TV.

There's commercials. He's like, no, something just broke. That's just so different, so different the way they can see everything. Harper knows a lot of commercials. Like, she knows the songs and the way. Like, weirdly, I think she, I wonder if they're, like, programmed for ads because of YouTube and, like, they see a lot of ads. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I thought we'll talk a little bit about Halloween are you a fan of Halloween is it where's it rank in your holidays I don't I'm not crazy about it yeah I'm glad we picked you But Nate Bargad's Okay No, that's what I wanted you to say I don't care

though. But now that I'm a grandmother I do want to have cute I don't have demon-looking things but I will go to T.J. Max and get a happy-looking ghost and set it on the porch because I do want my grandbabies

to go, grandma, but I was raised with a demon. So I don't, I didn't care for Halloween. My sister loved it and, you know, back then,

country farming people and mama throw a sheet over us or something I didn't care I didn't want to and we were also methodist so we we would take that little box and ask for money unisef that kind of you know was a drag yeah well you go to door to door and ask for money yeah we had a little box where you that and people could give change and then you get candy too yeah you got candy and then if somebody yeah felt lead then you could get a nickel or dime or something for unisef and I'd rather stay at home but my sister loved it but I was raised with the bell winch. Yeah.

That oldest ghost story. We'll skip ahead then. Yeah. So, but I do want my grandchildren to think I'm fun and I want to make hot dogs and chilly. I love Halloween. You do? Yeah. But I'm the opposite, because I would have grown up like that.

Like, I know a lot of Christian families, like, we're against Halloween. But I really do think my dad being a magician and, like, we're just, there's so much, like, we love it. We love Halloween. It's not about, like, it. It's just, it was the whole thing of just, like, getting a pillowcase and, like, having a costume and walking around the neighborhood and knocking on the door. And then, so when Harper was young, I mean, we're like, we love it. So it's like, we go walk around, and you're, you got lights and flashlights, and you're

watching them run through every yard and no one's running in the, like, I love, I could watch kids come up and do candy, and I love it. That part is fun. I'm always off on Halloween. I always ask, I always ask off for Halloween. And it's, uh, because, and then what we do in our neighborhood too now is we got a great. We're in a, we're in a cul-de-sac. So everybody just, we have a table and a tent and we just kind of block off the cul-de-sac,

and we all sit up at the front so then the kids can just come there. And then it's, everybody's hanging out and it's like a good time. Uh, so I, I love it. My mom, that we always took the kids to go pick out costumes, like all the whole family would go. it's very I mean we still love it but yeah when they're young it's the best

because it's like they're people because stuff Harper's on the verge is like what she wants to be now I'm like you know because is she in middle school where the little girls

are putting no no no nothing like that it's scary it's scary wise like I forget but it's like you know it's just like yeah but now they want to

wear of scary or you know What kind of scary? What's going on now? No, you know, just like I would want like blood and knives. I think there's a new one's something from the purge. There's like the, yeah, the mask with the statue of liberty. Okay, yeah. And it's like that.

And then you're like, stuff like that. It's going to be like it's not, you know, we let her watch the purge, but we didn't. I just wanted everybody to sit. I was going to look at that. I know I was going to go, okay. I was just like to let us sit. I haven't seen Charlshank, but then we go. But we let her.

She loves the purge every year. We do the purge every year. A family tradition. That's a wild one to let you get it. It's a wonderful life and the purge. She does not know what it's from. She's not seen them. We wouldn't.

And I don't know if I like, but, you know, we're going to see. That's a. We didn't go through some fall festival church times where we went there. but my neighborhood that I raise my children in is a big neighborhood where everybody comes and I remember being your age y'all's age where you've got little children and everybody's in the cul-de-sac

and it's a good time and social yeah yeah that was fun we just ours family just we like dressing like you know we're just it was like built for us would y'all make your own

I may have to begin when you're young yeah you had no money we couldn't go buy stuff So you're typical hobo. I was always baseball player, football player, whatever my uniform one. You're just like whatever your kind of stuff was. And then, you know, and all you want is to be able to go buy like the actual real costume. Like, it would be like, oh, man.

But as a dad with Harper, I've seen you want one of years like a Vanderbilt football player. Well, I do a lot of that as I got older. It's like, you know, I'm an assistant coach of Vanderbilt. Yeah, yeah. I dressed up for, I was a rubble. on Paul Patrol when she was into Paul Patrol. Me, Laura, Ann Harperger, she was five. So that I wore all of the stuff.

My boys like Palm Patrol. Should I be a Paul Patrol? It would be very, I bet they would love it. If you showed up as a Paul Patrol. Yeah. We're not into, it's funny. It's one that comes and you get it. And, I mean, it is your world.

And then now if you brought it up, you'd be like, what? And you're like, oh. I know a lot of little children. children are in blueie. Yeah, that's right. But we did, she dressed as, I think, Sky, and then I forget what a lawyer was. But, yeah, that was a year we all dressed up in that.

But, yeah, a lot of times I'm a golfer, I'm this, and that, you know. Your grandkids go? Do you know what they're going to be? Dinosaur and probably a tiger. Yeah. They're two in about term five. Yeah, that's the best. Yeah.

And they've got those, the, they've got several. dinosaurs because costumes because when I say one I like to pick it up but when you put your legs in it and it's got a big dinosaur out front and you're almost like riding it yeah and then Chuck put on the big the one that you can the big what is you blow up and you and you walk around in that and Chuck's a big man so that was frightening but they like for us to you know I want now that I'm a grandmom I want to do it again I want to be with them and we're playing in our Halloween party and whatnot what neighborhood we're going to and all that.

Yeah. Will the people still, kids still come trick or treating in your neighborhood? Yes. Oh, my neighborhood's a big neighborhood in Knoxville where people come because it's only one street in, one street out. A lot of parents have a Yeti

with alcohol in it. I'll tell you that. A lot of people walk in our little pool, we've got a little neighborhood pool, they'll have a wagon with bells of hay on it and all the children ride on that on

hay ride before. Yeah, our neighborhood was fun for all that stuff. Where is, do you have a, how do you say, uh, the, you know, like, no, yeah, well, it doesn't matter. How do you say C-O-O-L-E-R? Cooler. Cooler. Cooler.

Cooler. I say cooler, too. Cooler. Yeah, I always go cooler. Yeah. What do people say? Cooler. Cooler.

Yeah. But I say cooler. And I'm kind of cool, but I say pool, not puel. Pule. I go, I go, puil, puo. I go cool, but I'll say a cooler. I go, go get a cooler. But I say that, but it's funny that you said that with, how do you say pool?

Pooh. Pool. Yeah, pull. But I say pull, I say pull. But I say cooler. I'm on, I do it where I'm embarrassed to, I won't, I'll try not to say it sometimes. I'll be just grab that, I'd rather just point at it and go cooler. That thing.

Because if I go cooler, it's. Who are you hanging out with? that would be mean to you about saying cooler yeah i you know sometimes you just don't even want to have to get into you're trying to move along because i'll slap their teeth now i don't know who been no laura and harper make fun of me you know cooler now they don't make fun of me but uh but i mean i just you would uh you know sometimes it's just you know sometimes you just want to grab a cooler and not have to not have to have a whole explain yourself yeah you know that everybody is going to just be like, what?

Yeah. And you're just so, it's just easier. It's called by the brand name, you know? Yeah. The igloo. My Coleman, my Coleman, yeah. Yeah. Could you hear me that Coleman over there?

What? A cooler. All right. Rick Roberts told me his daughter's same age as Harper. She and her friend are going this year as 6-7. Oh, yeah. That's what all the kids say now is 6-7. What does that mean, y'all?

6-7. I don't know. It's just a little thing. It's just something they say. Yeah. I am my grandma. I don't even know. Well, the idea of it is I think it's gibberish.

It means nothing. And so it just drives parents crazy. That's honestly, I think, what it is. It becomes the point of it. The point of it is they go six, seven. And they see the number six and seven. They go, what is that saying? Six, seven.

And they just say it over and over again. And it means, it doesn't mean anything. It's just meant to. Have parents go, what are you doing? And they go, you would never understand what it. It's a fun, it's a fun thing for them. Yeah. But that's funny.

That is a good one to go as. Yeah. That's great. I should suggest that to Harper, too. Maybe get her out of this blood soaked something. She's got to find a friend. Yeah. Take with her.

Get her seven. I'll be seven. She won't have. Last year, or a couple of years, no, it was more than that. A couple years ago, I remember where she wanted to go by herself. And it's hard where, and you're like, they just, like, her and her friends or want to go. And you're like, uh, and then I remember my dad, uh, just started walking with her. And then she stops and she goes, Papa, no.

Oh, wow. We're going alone. Wow. And he saw, and he had to walk back. Oh. He is so yummy. He was, it was, uh, you know, it wasn't like if she did it mean or it. It was just like, yeah, it's like, you know, it was like crazy to, you know, it was like crazy to, you know,

You're like, yeah. Because she's a teenager? Yeah, she's 13. Yeah, she's still, she can still be a little girl. We still do stuff. We're watching Harry Potter first time going through it right now. How about that? How far into it are you?

We started the second one. Chamber of Secrets. Yeah. The show's coming out soon. Yeah. They're doing a show on HBO. So get the movies in while you can. Yeah.

How many movies is it? It's eight movies. They split the seventh book into two movies. All right. It all wraps up nice. It does, actually. Yeah, it's pretty good ending. And where is that where you go to amusement parties?

Is that Disney or Universal? The Harry Potter World there. And that's nifty. It's pretty crazy. Oh, it's unbelievable. You got to take your grandkids there. Go take, like, especially when they're that young, it's like, and they're stepping into it. Yeah.

I mean, it's the best. It's wild. It's wild. Do you have a favorite Halloween candy? I like anything. I'm a candy person. I don't like sweet tarts and that kind of candy

I like chocolate so Reese's cups Snickers Twicks M&Ms I get that kind of stuff from the grocery store I do like a peanut

Eminem I do My mom used to eat a lot of those I remember it was peanut or regular but I think it was peanuts I like both honey I've never met an M&M

I didn't like pretzel all of those love them I think I tried a pretzel when I thought. I think it's too small to get too crazy. Yeah, I agree. Like, it's just you're, it's, there's not enough room to go nuts in there.

I think the pretzel dominates too much. Yeah, yeah, you're like, come on. I got to head out. I'll see you on a little bit. Okay. See on a little bit. Typical show. Thank you for coming.

Yeah, yeah. Thank you, Brian. Yeah, yeah. Tampa this weekend. This is Aaron where we're talking. I'm going to be a Tampa side splitters, comedy club. Come see me on Halloween. Let me tell you those Halloween ticket sales.

People don't want to be spending. Halloween with me. Is Bobby Jules still there? No, he's not. You've got BT's running in. BT's the best. I'll see you guys. Yeah.

Well, I was about to have Aaron pull up a graph that shows every state in the U.S. and what the favorite Halloween candy is. And it's never what you think it is. Can you pull it up? I don't know if he has to log back in or. Oh, if he's got a password. Let's see what age can do it. Start with Lee Ann.

I hate a password. We just keep going. Eventually we get to Chase. Yeah. I mean, I know what... Sweet Chase. A little chase. Oh, you doll.

I had a ball with y'all in Sandy. Where was that? San Diego State Fair. Oh, yeah. Yeah, man, that was a long time ago. And I wanted to hang out with the boys. Yeah. We hung out.

Chase was young and skinny. He's still young and skinny. No, he is still young. No, he's very skinny You were schlepping all that merchandise, baby Yeah, he's big time now Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, got a good haircut Because he, I don't shun shoes, no more

You know what that's from? No Good fellows, right? Good fellas, oh All right, well, let's get into Favorite Halloween candy, by the way, for Tennessee You'll never guess It's like candy corn, right?

Or something weird Tutsi roll? Life savers. Oh. Lifesivers? Are they still making them? Yeah. Yeah, those polls out of, you know, who they ask?

Yeah. Lifesvers, I think, is good. I bet it's, but no one's, you know, lifesavers are great, but it's not. It's all going to be dominated by Sour Patch now and, you know, that kind of stuff. Like, it's all going to be, in the, I'm a sour person. I like Recy cups,

I can really get in the mood for them I like chocolate cake I love that kind of stuff but candy is like I tend to go to pretty soury the soury world of things gummy and then gummy bears

and gummy worms and that kind of stuff I can do a hot tamale yeah see I don't like that I feel yeah but I'm not a I'm not my sister always love still loves it

sweet tarts and all that you know what's funny is I think I take it too serious. So when I'm eating candy and I go, like, it's like, why don't you try this candy? And you're like, well, I know I like this other thing. So why would I try a thing? Like, why would I waste

a thing on it? Yeah. And it's dumb. And I shouldn't think like that. Look, candy corn is in Tennessee. Well, that's from 2016. Tristan has really old, out of day data here. Yeah, but see, I was right. I knew the last time I looked at this was candy corn. I love any kind of chocolate.

Mm-hmm. I'm a chocolate. not. I would like to study even more dark chocolate because then it's like... Medicinal. Yeah, we try Halloween. Yeah. But anyway, let's make sure the listeners get to enjoy us, typing all this in.

All right, well, you mentioned you had a demon. Yes. And I thought maybe we should talk about what... Did you know that night I was raising an Adam, Sesey with the Bell Witch? Yeah, didn't we talk about it? We have, but not ever on Halloween, so we've talked about it briefly. Yeah, but growing up,

In Adams. We do every topic's the same again. Haven't we done the weather, but not on a day. It's raining. I know. This is a great one. Starburst, solid. This is what I would agree with more.

Okay. So it looks like Starburst, Tennessee, peanut M&Ms. Peanut NEMs seems like they're a Kit Kat and... Nerds. Look at all those nerds. Nerds is good. Nourges, I say it a lot. You want to be on board with the companies right now, Dr. Pepper and nerds.

They're doing some big things. Nerds are? Nerds are on another planet right now. You want to be a part of them. They are the clusters, the rope. I mean, they're not scared to try stuff. Just like Dr. Pepper, Dr. Pepper is dominating. Like their flavors.

We're talking about them before he walked in. Yeah, we did. We talked about how I have searched the world over for Dr. Pepper. zero cherry? We just had some. He's got some on him. I've got, we had some. Did we have some this weekend?

Someone gave, they, so, you should have mentioned Dr. Pepper. I mentioned Dr. Pepper in Texas, and they, they have a suite there in that American Airlines. So they send us, like, a bunch of Dr. Pepper's. But the Zero Cherry is great. We've had it recently. It is hard to find that kind of stuff, but it's, yeah, Dr. Pepper's just, and I'm a diet. I don't do regular but DDP

are you all diet or Dr. Pepper or Dr. Pepper Zero or Dr. Pepper Zero or Dr. Pepper Zero Cherry. I've never tried the Blackberry or the strawberry cream.

I don't know if I can get up in there. Strawberry cream is good like they were all I mean they're all really. Yeah yeah they're all great but they're all just having but I always say like nerds

nerds was just this tiny nerds doing what I wish dipping dots would try to do is get it together like that they're taking chance and, you know, dipping dots just, you know, we had it, we, but man, we had dipping dots at one, at one arena, they brought in, I think they, was it their thing,

it was the thing that they do, but they brought in dipping dots that you could just get it on your own. I've never had access to dipping dots. I know, I haven't either. You've, I've had, you know, you always got to go through someone, and, but when you can put as much as you want without someone judging you. I mean, dip in dots, I mean, we were a problem. And it was, it was a terrific, terrific time.

And then, but yeah. I think dip in dip in dots is what you were talking about on this podcast, but you said you bought in sink line and hooker. Oh, yeah, I did. Sinkline and hooker. Dippin dots, I was sold. I was, when they came out, man, that was like, you know, I bet I could mention that in my act, actually, in a place.

Just remember Dippin Dots. in a because everybody loves a dip and dot let me see a pen I bet Dollywood has dipping dots do you take Harper to Dollywood

yeah yep you've got to take Ellen I've never been oh my Lord Brian it is precious and it's got rides for her in that little country thing

it's got little bitty children rides she would love it I was just talking to somebody about it they'd just been i said i've never been you can stay at my house yeah spend the night where i was going to put this thing i was trying to see if i said my set list sorry i like knew where to put this in my act this is going to be so i'm talking about i'm talking about dipping dots is uh i i i i if dip and dots could do like nerds yeah yeah yeah yeah all right i got it i got it i did here somebody told me the other day that

that nerds is in a slushing at Sonic. Am I wrong? Nate would know. Yeah, they are. They put them in Dr. Pepper, too, I think. But, yeah, Sonic is, I mean, let me tell you some. Sonic's doing some stuff, too. And it's, uh, yeah, they're, you know, like, you got your, like, I love three musketeers.

You got all this stuff, uh, but it's just like the candy, sourpatch kids, I'm a big sourpatch kids, they, they do do some good. good stuff. But I mean, overall, stuff kind of stays what it is. And it's just like with nerds, you know, they're always fun. But now, I mean, to be inventing stuff that's better than your original, the reason you came is unbelievable. And so that's what they're doing. I wish blowpop would step up the game too, because I like, I like blow pop. But I, you know, it's like, I don't know, I like it. I think it's like, sometimes it feels like a lot to me. Maybe if they made them smaller and you didn't have a stick and you could just well is that the one where if you

when you broke it and then you chewed it and then that bubble gum got bigger and bigger and bigger and you finally had to spit it out i don't know if it grew but what is it bubbleicious it just gets bigger and bigger it does yes as you chew it i thought you put more in or something big league chew I mean, that's one that's staying around. They're just Biglin Man, great, Bigley, Chu. What does that show for Tennessee? Starburst? Yeah, Starbursts, awesome.

Yeah. Starburst is great. They did the mini Starbursts, and it just didn't land. Somebody up north likes a York peppermint panty. God love them. Yeah, that's, who is, where's that? Oh, Maine or something? Yeah, they don't get, it's hard to get candy up there.

I tell you the best candy in the world, Canada. Did y'all know that Canada does not make... I was in Vancouver, British Columbia, all up in there, and they said they don't have all that wax, whatever we put in our candy, and it's more pure in Canada, so we bought a buttload of candy and brought it back and through customs.

And it is to die for. It doesn't have all that, whatever they put in ours. So you're giving the American kids' worst candy? Yes, our little children, get worse than Canada. No. I'm saying the opposite. No, I ate it. I didn't give it to little children. I ate it. He's saying it wouldn't taste it's going.

I'm saying you, so you took the good out of it. Well, if you like wax. I do like wax. I like what they're doing. I ain't here to poke old. Well, and I'm talking about chocolate, like a canberry fruit nut bar, which is what I hope that when I pass away and I have my celebration of life, I want everybody to get a Cadbury fruit nut, bar, big size, when they come in the door. I did think Diet Coke, now I'm thinking, Dr. Pepper, Zero Cherry.

Yeah. And I want it to be a celebration, honey. Yeah, yeah, and then we do, yeah. What if we don't want to eat that Cadbury thing? I don't even know what that is. I don't even know what that is. Fruit nut, Cadbury. This is sound good.

Canberry comes out at Easter, the little, the eggs. Well, there is a bar. You go into Walgreens. You will lose your mind. It's fruit and nuts. in there. They've also had plain. They have plain, like, milk chocolate, plain dark chocolate.

This is the fruit nut. That's what everybody's going to eat? Celebration of life? Yes. Yeah. Just get one sometime and put a little dab being. Wait for it. Wait for it.

You want the audience, just your, I call it the audience. The people that are coming to your funeral. My audience is going to be singing, doing, and going land was a good time. Honey, we had a ball with land. Everybody wants you to hold up your Cadbury. Thank goodness we don't have to do this again. All right. You're the last.

You're going to have to do a set. I'll do a set. Okay. I'll perform. I'm trying to think of what music. Jelly roll. Jelly roll will come. You'll do it.

I want to open casket. I want you next to me. Jelly roll will come. Even if you didn't ask him to. I want you at an angle. I'm going to be pretty. I'm going to have a spray tan, extensions in, eyelashes. Go all out.

Yeah. Yeah. everybody's going to want to come. I said that to Chuck one time, and he goes, well, just have mine in the back of that yogurt shop because nobody, I don't want people at mine. I like, you know, I talk a lot. I have friends.

Chuck says, let's get out, Land, come on, let's go, and he don't want to talk. So he said his funeral will be small, but it won't because people love Chuck Morgan. Yeah, yeah. The quiet ones have the... And he has been, people have loved him and all this happening to me,

and everybody wants to meet Chuck Morgan. Kelly and Mark said to me, can he come on? I went, no. He won't talk. They go, we don't care. They won't Chuck Morgan on Kelly and Mark. He did. He took that very seriously. He said, we're winning.

Everybody shut your mouth and listen to me. He trained us. It was awful. We were scared to Dan. Little Annie Wilson, her and her fiancé, Duck, watch Family Feud every night. I didn't remember the rules. Then they got us in a back room.

and told us the rules I blanked out and didn't even know what it was. I've never, that really made me nervous. But then we ended up having a ball. After it was over with, we won. After we won, I thought, oh, I wish I could do it again. It was fun. But I was scared. But they asked you a little, you know, like what drink goes in a mug.

You know, I mean, I could never do the, Jeopardy. I said coffee. Well, it would be coffee. That was the number one. And then Chuck said tea. Are you about that last, the hot chocolate probably pretty far down? The thing at the end, and the thing at the end, And then also, chucking up, our kids thought we were really going to be stupid and we're ashamed of us.

You did great. And we ended up doing better than our kids, but they said people who've had families and mammas that, you know, know things that other people don't know. And then I thought Chuck did really well at the end. Steve, Harvey said, act like you're excited, Chuck, because Chuck does go. I know, but I always think when someone does that, you're like, yeah, but you're like, yeah, but you don't. I don't smile all the time and everything. I'm not a good energy, you know. Look at over here.

I mean, my goodness. And they had him on. I think you could fit in with every family that's ever done it, though. You think. Brian. Brian could. What? Fit in with every family.

Every white family that's ever done it. I think you could be in all of them. The guy at the end, though. At the end. And it would be like they ran. ran out. You're the run out. And then they, what if you had you as just a backup, always there in case someone in the family got sick and they know they can throw this on and you're going to fit in. They have the white and black version of you. And you would know

that answers, Brian. I bet you more. Yeah. And you would just be sitting there hoping someone doesn't show up. And then they're like, my uncle couldn't made it. You're like, ah, here we go. And then I wonder how long it would take before they're like, man, that guy's, is that not the same guy in all these families? That's very funny. I just blend in? You just blend in. You just work perfectly with every single family that you go, like, yeah, no one's

going to question it. I don't know how good I'd be. I was watching your episode trying to answer along, and even on my couch, I couldn't do as well as you were doing. Oh, my darling. Well, thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

It was fun. It really was. And they told us, like, how many people watch family, feud on what network television that is still huge and when jimmy kimball was all for a little while they put on family feet celebrity family feud so when i was doing research on the um belwich i was looking up adams city see when ryan hamilton was on Nate said that ryan hamilton might be the most what famous person from a small town such a small town it might be love him.

Adams, 624 people it said at the last census. That is tiny. Yeah. Oh yeah, like from that small of a number. Yeah.

What, I knew he was from a small town. He's a really small town in Idaho. I don't know if it was that small. It was small. Yeah, it's small. And,

there's a dollar general there now. But would you make an argument that the Bellwitch is? Yeah. Can you ever get more famous than the Bellwitch? Yeah, who's more famous? That's tough. I think it's kind,

well, people still come and do all that, But it used to be, when I was growing up, you had to do, you had to read the book and do a book report. Like every child in Tennessee. And now nobody, I'm not to speak at UT or something, nobody even knows who it is about the bellwitch anymore. Ghost people, people that like that kind of thing come from all over. But there's not much to see there. Well, before you give kind of some, you got some inside scoop, right, some background from it.

Let me just tell people. You went to high school with her? He's like, she was a witch. Yeah. In the 1800s. She was nasty. During the Whig Party. According to the Bellwitch Cave website, I think they say it's the most documented ghost haunting in American history.

Yes, it is documented in Tennessee history too because of Andrew Jackson came to investigate and his wagon wheels locked up and he had to turn around. Yeah. Well, it's like, it's funny though, Andy Jackson, old Hickory, came to your hometown. Adams. We both, you know. Mm-hmm. He was tiny. I've seen his bed at the hermitage. Oh, really? Yeah. Uh-huh. Tiny, little thing. Okay, there's different versions, Leanne. The one version I read said he did go.

His wagon wheel stopped when he was crossed in there. And all the men got off and tried to push. It was only when Jackson admitted that it must be the witch that the wagon moved again. And then that night he stayed there and he watched a witch hunter, I guess. the witch got the best of the witch hunter and he loved it so much he had a great time he said this is better than fighting the British like he had a ball

oh well that's nice to know in this version I think he was a guy that would have a ball yeah like he loved it wasn't kind of a wild card yeah yeah he loved it I think he was a good time yeah now historians say it probably didn't happen

he probably never went because they said he was getting ready to run for president and there was no documentation But let me say, I've always heard all my life from my high school history teachers and all these people that had studied and all that, that he did come and investigate. And at the time of the time of the bail family, they were very prominent. And John Bell had ran for president in the Whig Party. Instead of Nashville being the capital, it was going to be Adams at one time because the rich dark fire tobacco land. Because that's where you grow a lot of tobacco for.

Copenhagen and Skoll and all that's what my people grew so that it was a very prominent area that John Bell senior was very prominent and that's why they came to investigate because they were some were murdered mm-hmm so he uh John Bell it's in Robertson County uh-huh Robertson County Springfield yeah where your little daddy wasn't he at Pleasant View yeah yeah well I went to school there Springfield I went to elementary Springfield Coopertown oh my darling i went to i was there second to fourth grade my derrick did Derek was there and then uh my dad taught there for longer than that he taught for a while in robinson county i don't think i realize adams is that close to i don't think i realized

it was in robinson county i don't i'm some reason that the bill which feels farther out than i'm realizing how far are you from like cooper town honey like next door 15 minute yeah yeah i went to joe burns have you ever heard of joe barnes yeah yeah yeah I graduated 42 people. Yeah. It's so, yeah. We, well, they played Joe Burns. With Joe Burns, did you all have your, was Joe Burns one day, there was one where the stands would be on the court.

Yeah. Like they went, they almost went to the three point line. So like the bottom row of the, where the bleach was pulled out was actually on the court. Yes, and I just went back after all these years, PBS did a. story on me and they wanted to film me there and I didn't realize how tiny that gym was and all the bleachers come out onto that there's barely room yes there were cheerleaders practicing I don't know where those little things were going to have to cheer because it was there was no room and I thought it was huge because my dad was coaching basketball so we'd go to those

basketball games and I remember going to Joe Burns White House Greenbrier Greenbrier yeah East Robertson all those schools like because they were I was I was I mean, I was the second to fourth grade, but they really stick out to me because it was like, I remember just, I threw up, maybe it was a Joe Burns game or something. My dad's coaching, there's a story, my dad, White House, I forget. He's coaching, assistant coach, or whatever, and he's, and I'm sitting in the front, like this front section or whatever, or like, you know, on the bleachers, and then I just throw up everywhere. Might have been Joe, I wouldn't say Joe Burns, but I don't know.

Yeah, man, it's fun. I don't think I, yeah, I never even really thought about that. Yeah, it's right on the Kentucky, Tennessee border. And I'm sure they called us stuff, too. I just don't remember school. I don't either. And I didn't try. But yes, you used to have to do a book report.

And when I would, like, meet people from like MTSY or somewhere, they'd go, oh, I did that book report. There were plays, movies. There was a movie, an American haunting that was Sissy Spaceic and Donald Sutherland. It wasn't, I don't think it was accurate. And then there was one that was made from a guy in Pigeon Forge that did, you know, kind of a small budget. And he had it placed in the haulers of East Tennessee, which is inaccurate, you know, because it was in Middle Tennessee. We don't have haulers.

But. Yeah, I think that's why they make you feel like Bellwitch is not, Bellwitch is near Nashville. Yeah. It's like if Andrew Jackson did go there is not crazy. It's not crazy. He was right there. Yeah, it's where he would go. Yeah.

So supposedly it was a woman named Kate Bats. Yes, Kate Bats, that heifer. An unfriendly. Heard her all my life. Cape Bands. Unfriendly neighbor John Bell, who believed she was cheated by him in a land purchase. And then she started haunting him, poisoned him. Did you know that?

Yes. Poisoned him, killed, threatened. She told him she was going to kill him, and then she did. But she was a witch She was a witch She was already gone She was gone Now she came back as a spirit

That is what That is yes That she came back As a spirit And that The Bell Witch Still comes back As a dog

A black dog What are the other ones A rabbit? A rabbit That's what I read A crow maybe Crow Yeah

Because I went to high school With Rubin Buck Whose family Had the house On that land And it was an old Old historical home And there

His mama I had antiques. She had a Vitrola record player, you know, that you had to crank up, and it would just start playing in the middle of the night for no reason. And a black dog would come up and had a bullet hole, but still lived. And would come up, and they said that would be the bellwitch. She would come in that form. But I know the real story.

Can you say it? Yeah, I can. Well, I mean, they're all dead now. Oh, yeah. We're all going to again. Okay. Everybody's always said, old Kate Bans. and that it was, she came back and haunted everybody

because she hated the bills. But Lucy Bell, the daughter, had a suitor, a man that fell in love with her, Richard Raul-Tolomey-Powl. And he was a, now this is what my, Mr. Man, too. Sounds like a name is one made up on the spot. Yeah. Who is it?

Richard Tomi-Pow, pow, pow, pal. It does. Nigo. My little high school teacher, who was no longer with us, who was from Darling, Mr. Mantooth would tell us all this stuff and then our House of Representatives

who also went to my church who was also a farmer he would come in and tell us all this stuff that they had been passed down from people and all their people settlers were in Adams so this man

was sweet on Lucy Bell she did not care for him so he's the one that would now they said that he was a ventriloquist mathematician, I can't remember what else, but had all these talents and he would throw his voice because they would blame it on like a slave or, you know, because there was a rumor that it was a slave at one time that was torment and all of them. And then it was Kate Bats and all that,

but it was this man who would throw his voice and make things happen and torment all of them because he was in love with Lucy and she did not want to date him. But then I was really, read today because I wanted to know what in the world I was saying, that then later she did marry him, like he convinced her to, that they never knew that it was him torment in their family and that she ended up with him. So it worked. I can't. And did it stop then?

Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. So saying that, so there is no bell witch, he just made it seem like that's the, that's if you don't believe in witches, this is what happened. Yeah. Maybe a little Pentecostal person came up with that. But that's what has been told, is that it was a man. If you need that explanation, if you want to believe in a demon, it was Kate.

And imagine growing up in a little bitty town in 4th of July picnic when I was trying to bring my record player and be in the talent show, because I knew I was going to Hollywood. And there would be a casket with this dummy in it, and they'd go, that's Kate Bance. And all these little children, we'd be scared to death, and then I'd have to eat my grandmother's tombs, in the bottom of her purse because I was so torn up because there was a it would be like a you know look like a dead woman look real and they go that's okay are you supposed to eat tums that young they let me do it because I was torn up nobody could have barbecue you all right that's when you had whiskey to go to go to sleep like knock you out yeah all of our cousins

that was like when your parents would kiss you good night you got like tums and whiskey breath That's an eight-year-old. Well, and our Methodist church, our little tiny country Methodist Church was right across from the graveyard. So all these Vanderbilt football players, Vanderbilt fraternities would come down to mess with,

you know, bring all those boys and mess with them. And they would come over on the, across the road at the Methodist Church and beat all of our windows out trying to get in the church. So then the pastor would say, we got to raise money, we've got to put all these windows back in the church. Vanderbilt should have been given to them.

I know, because that was, who did do people with money and they would tear out our windows but I've heard it all my life

and now the cave is open back again it depends on who's you know it's been left in a family but there's like bones in that cave they think

a lot of Native Americans went through there were living in there that you can find that kind of stuff bones of animals that kind of I've never been in the cave

I don't like demons but You know, all fraternities, Austin P, you know, was close to there. Everybody comes down there. And at Halloween, I just saw another play that my good friend that I graduated, 42 people. One went to Juilliard as an actor, David Alford, who was in Nashville. Remember that show with Connie Britton?

He played her manager. Anyway. You graduate with him? Uh-huh. So two people from a class of 42 have gone into show business. Yeah, and done well. And then there were four boys, and he was in the, that group that were the Red River Boys and they had a music deal at one time and they were they had

a band and we all you know they'd sing Elvara and we'd lose our mind but they all ended up going to college and quit the music business but David ended up an actor and um it's been on broadway and ABC and Nashville and all that but um yeah what was I saying about all that oh there's a little museum in Adams that has a lot of bell witch stuff in it has a lot about the Red River boys there's one picture of me. My daddy, it makes him infuriated. And I'm like, it's okay. We'll get more pictures, Daddy.

One day you're going to get. What is it, an Adams Museum? Adams Museum in the Bell School, where I went to first grade. Is that named after the Bells? Uh-huh. And my grandmother graduated from there in like 19, you know, I don't even know what, 30 or something. And all the people in my family went there, Bell School. And it's open now, and there's a little tea room, like a little restaurant and all the farming people go there and eat.

And then there's this museum, and they run the city business out of there. There's also a hair salon and a tanning thing. And a meat processing. My little mom and daddy had the meat processing plant, but they retired there. Do you think most people who grew up in Adams like it because it brings in tourism or they think don't associate us with that? Yeah, I don't think they care. I don't it's not that much to bother us and everything going around there it's kind of you know fun that you're raised with that yeah yeah you know I always thought yeah I always thought it was fun when I went to UT and everything I go well you know I'm from the building yeah yeah that was our claim to fame yeah but you have any friends that said something they saw something happen or Ruben my um dear friend um there was stuff that happened on their farm all the time we're just to do you Yeah, and he's my age, and so, as a child, you know, that black dog would show up all the time with a bullet hole.

And that land, where his mom and daddy's farm and big house, big, like, Victorian home. Yeah. Things, sounds, footsteps through the night, the Vitrola thing would turn on. It was something all the time. He saw the dog. Did you see the dog? He saw the dog. I did not see the dog.

He saw the dog. He saw the dog. Yeah. That's crazy. And I guess this is their busiest time of the year, the Bellwitch Cave. Yeah, probably. Oh, the cave. And then David, the actor, he wrote a play about the Tobacco Wars and then another one about the

Bell Witch. And I went to it. And a guy that now I know at Warner Brothers that works on shrinking with Harrison Ford, he was sitting next to me and we're sitting there watching this play outside behind Bell School under the pavilion, they call it. I mean, it was freaky. And they had, you know, actors in Nashville that are at the Mockingbird Theater

or whatever over there that work at T-PAC and all that were like throwing their voice and chains and, you know, and I just, yeah, it's spooky. If Harper likes that kind of stuff, you need to take her to that play. It was crazy. It's a really good play.

David wrote it and he got wonderful actors to be in it. And it sold out. Every people, come from all over and that thing sold out. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. But there's been two or three movies, a book, there was

a play. What's the best movie for it? I'd say American haunting, but it's been, with Sissy Space and David Sutherland, but it's been a long time since I've seen it. That's the only one that I feel like there was like known actors in, right? There's been a bunch. Even I read the Blair

Whitch project, a lot of horror movies took stuff from the Bellwitch story. Really? Did those Blair witch people take our story. That's what I read. Oh, really? I mean, not took the story, but stuff that happened, they take

because that was made in Tennessee, right? I mean, or a story in Southern, like Savannah, Tennessee, Blair Witch. I don't know. Film there? No, I don't know, filmed, but I thought the story was from there. I thought, maybe I'm wrong, but I always

have to tell people, not the Blair Witch, the Bell Witch, we're not the ones with the snot. Remembering Blair Which, they were constantly blowing snot. I might have talked about it. We had, I haven't with Chase? Yeah, we watched Blair Witch. Oh, I'm crazy.

No, hike the Appalachian Mountains near Maryland. I'm completely wrong about that. I've never seen the Blair Witch Project. Yeah. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, I remember it was a big hit. Well, yeah, the way it came out. I mean, it was like crazy.

It made so much money, you know. people love for something scary yeah but yeah on the Wikipedia page for the Bell Witch there's numerous movies TV shows

like you know like Unsolved Mysteries and those type of shows documentary type shows that go do things I remember reality there was some reality show and they came down

and filmed and the boy the man cussed Robine in it and that offended us And then also, I mean, just horrible language. And then also they kind of made fun of the farming people and all that. You know, it just wasn't in a good light.

I mean, that's all the movies that somehow, I don't know what about the Blair Witch Project they took from it, but they list it as probably inspiration. Inspirational, yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm sure, yeah, I'm sure all of them, yeah, it's like, you know, yeah. But the rest of them were pretty straightforward. titles.

I was just in. Where did I perform? What was the three? It was Bell Witch where you'd say something in the show in the mirror? Yes. And that's why I'd have to eat a lot of times. Okay.

Because all my cousins, they said, let's say her name three times and turn around so many times and then you'll see her in the mirror. Yeah. You had to say her name. Or you say the Bellwit. You would just say the Bellwitch.

Three times. Yeah, I remember that. I remember never doing it. I didn't either. I was too afraid to. That and Bloody Mary. Yeah. What was Bloody Mary?

That was just another one. think it's the same same thing just a different name yeah i don't know what the story is behind it yeah all right well that was fun well i hope i gave some insight it was a man named richard ptolemy rahood pal something and he was a bugger evidently i had a yeah from wikipedia they had a similar story but not quite the same it was different people was a betsy bell she was engaged to joshua gardner but they hadn't got married yet and then the ghost said when the how long will it remain before you marry she says I'll leave

when Joshua and Betsy get married that's what the ghost said and they thought the girl knew ventriloquism and she was trying to get the guy to marry her so she was throwing her voice that's what I read from this history well see if you can Google that little man because he was a traveling guy that came through

and was a ventriloquist and I could throw his voice Richard tell him something Richard Roll Richard Pell, Richard Pell. Yeah.

But see that R.P. in there, that's Richard Raoul, Ptolemy, Pell. Mm-hmm. So the second Pee starts with the T. Yeah. Ptolemy. Tolomey, Pell. And they spells it with a P? Yeah, this P. silent.

Oh. I was like joking. Yeah, my sweet little history teacher, Mr. Mantith, who was from heaven, would tell us all this stuff. Yeah. Yeah. That's the only time I listened. Otherwise, I was, you know, flirting and doing and doing and trying to tell jokes and, you know, not paying attention. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. I wish I'd pay more attention. I like learning. I like learning, too. I didn't then, but... Yeah. Yeah. Remember that, kids.

Learn now. I thought I was lucid ball. I mean, I really thought, well, I'm going to, I'm in Hollywood. I don't need this. Well, you are. Yeah, you're right. So, kids. goodness i was right for a long time i thought i thought i thought i thought i was like those kids on

american island think they can sing yeah i thought oh no am i one of those people you got a yeah but it's but you you waited stick it through that's a big you give up you are one of those people if you don't then you're not look at it no i'm glad i persevered yeah yeah bell witch i can't keep you down. Bell Witch? They should do a Bell Witch movie and you could be in it.

I thought about it one time and I don't understand I mean I love podcasts but I thought should I do a limited series podcast? I think you do it as a movie I mean horror movies are like the thing now

you do a Bell Witch well I could get David offered the actor he has studied it to do that play yeah look at that they just put Nashville on Netflix I started watching it again

that's a that's a drama if you need a love story with all that yeah do you all remember watching did you watch it I didn't watch it but I remember they showed the first episode they showed

Vandy playing Georgia or something because they were watching on the TV and I paused it and I saw it and I was like man that's so crazy I knew the game and I was like it was so crazy to see something like that's specific to home

and you were like that's nuts Were you in New York then? I get, yeah. Yeah. And I think it was a really big hand. No, it was enormous. They, people, it's, a lot of it's what's got that Nashville. The city started was that.
