Yeah, that's kind of, I kind of went

through a Madonna thing. That kind of looks like I did when I got to the University of Tennessee. Yeah. And was lost. Just a short, short haircut. Do you think you and Dusty would have been friends if y'all were the same age? Yes. We would have been friends and we would have smoked cigarettes

and not gotten a thing done. Probably failed out of school i can tell people that i would have had too much fun with you know yeah and people that i should have hung out with but i think dusty and i would have had a ball danced i think we would have clubbed brian would have kept you on the straight and narrow brian probably would hang out yeah i'd be the kind of guy Your parents would have Tried to push you toward Yeah Not as fun But straight and narrow

Kind of like Chuck Morgan He's not fun Mm-hmm Yeah He did perfect in school That's Leanne's husband If you're listening Perfect in school

Worked three jobs Uh-huh Did everything right He really did Uh-huh And I was like And he chased me. He chased me because I was exciting,

you know? And then when he was trying to get me, he bought me cigarettes. And then, then he started saying, after we dated for a while, you smell bad. And I'm breaking up with you.

That's what happens. I know. And then he begged me to come back. I was working at Lancome behind the makeup counter. He had dumped me and I was devastated. Wow. And then he came back to be at the mall. He had bought a business

and moved up to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and came back. I had been to Fort Lauderdale as a third wheel with a couple for spring break. Got a tan. He saw me with a tan and wanted me back. Yeah, that's what happens. I'm kidding.

He saw me with a tan, could not get his breath, and said, can I buy you a pair of tennis shoes? And I said, maybe. That's some tan. It was, and I'm pretty with a tan. And so then I tell my children all the time, I said, maybe. That's some tan. It was. And I'm pretty with a tan. And so then I tell my children all the time, I go, y'all's lives are based on the fact your daddy saw me with a tan. Wow.

Wow. All this is in the book, What in the World, by Lee Ann Morgan. That is in the book. There you go. About Chuck Morgan. Yeah. That whole thing. Did you get tennis shoes?

I did. Yeah. I've gotten several pairs since then.. Did you get tennis shoes? I did. Yeah. I've gotten several pairs since then. Why did you buy tennis shoes? I don't know. He always, well, I don't know why at the time. Maybe I said I need tennis shoes, you butthole. I don't know.

But he's always bought me things and tried to woo me because he's not a words of affirmation kind of person, which is really what I need. Yeah. But that's okay. So his love language is acts of service. So he always does for me, like vacuuming out my car, taking care of all that kind of stuff.

Yeah, that's all the stuff you really need. And then it's good to have babies by somebody like that. Okay. And then also wants to buy and provide for me. He's a provider. So he wants to do for me, and he's always giving me beautiful gifts. Cigarettes.

Well, cigarettes back then. I got off the cigarettes, boys, in the 80s. That was a good time to get out. Yeah, that was a good time to get out. And when he does that, you still don't think it's enough? I feel like I just talked to Laura about it. I mean, if you saw the providing the providing he provides and you're like but still i would like to be told i'm pretty i would yeah i would like to be told you're you've been a good mama that kind of stuff but he'll say my

family we didn't do that and i go well i I get that. Have you gotten a tan lately? That's the real thing. I do, Aaron. I get spray tans. I'm kidding. Because I'm 58. I don't want that sun damage. But I do get a spray tan.

And I mean, it drives him wild. It does. This is a clean podcast for you. I know. But it's biblical. We're married. But yeah, it sets him on fire, even though it ruins our sheets. And he's clean.

You know, he's a clean person. But anyway, I do. I talk about it in my book, What in the World That Almost Killed Me. I've worked on that book for over two years, and I'm proud of it. But that was a lot to do. But it was fun, but it has been that is was a lot to do but it was but it was fun but it was also emotional like just remembering and going through and you know the bottom line after i i wrote that thing i thought man i was stupid i'm a stupid person yeah i've done some stupid mess but then i kind of then i read the audio part and, and I've kind of forgiven that 17 to 25-year-old.

Right. I had to give her grace and go, you know what, girl? You did the best you could with what you had at the time. So it's been very cathartic. Yeah. So now you're good. I think I'm okay. Yeah, yeah.

Uh-huh. Yeah. And now I go on a book tour, and I'll talk about it. I'm kind of sick of talking about myself, but I've got to go and tell everybody all this again. What do you got to say on a book tour? You got to just be like, hey, here's the book. Yeah.

It's almost like stand-up. Are you going to get interviewed? I do have a moderator at two of them, big events, one in Knoxville and one in um in knoxville and one in in the foothills close one in knoxville and one in atlanta and then the other ones like in mount juliet i'll be here at the books a million and i'm just i think you can buy a book that i've signed and then we get our picture made i think there's no talking and i'm certainly not doing a show yeah i may say a few words like this has almost killed me but i'm glad i did it i always felt like i had a book in me do y'all feel like that no yeah i always felt like i had it in me

yeah that's great at some not now um yeah i'm just getting started i think with some with like what i want to do and stuff so yeah at some point because they told me that that when they interview people that have written books that most people say like i knew i had one in me yeah and i always felt that tug that's cool yeah and i tried years ago i had some interest was you know somebody gave some interest in me doing one and i wrote the first like chapter just for them to see my point of view and chuck morgan went in and corrected it and put big red circles around it and said how did you get in the university of tennessee i said well it was 1983

and you only had to have a 12 on your act did you it was only a 12 i didn't get a 12 but i heard that some of the boys that played football, they only required them to have a 12. Maybe it was higher for little country girls, but I didn't have that low, but I had low. Dude, I would have got in. Yeah. I got a 17, which was not enough to get in.

You have to get an 18. You're so much younger than me. They had it restricted at time. Yeah, to 18 by the time. I mean, 12 would have been i guess i might have ran the school he goes i got a 17 i got i don't know i'm an ap there you go like we ain't ever seen nobody like you before i go well you know did you think to take it again was it was there anything in like let's just keep trying to get to an 18 or is that not even a goal? From what I remember, I don't even know. I think that's why I took all remedial classes. So that's why I have no credits from college because I had to go like restart. So it was just 17. It was real bad. And I think maybe I did take it twice. And there's a chance. Some reason the number 16 pops in my head.

It went down? Maybe I'm too sad to say that. But, yeah, it just wasn't. What did you get? I don't remember. Oh, you know it. You got a 30. Yeah.

Did you get a 30? I got a 32, I think. Oh, my goodness. I took it a few times. Yeah. Some people are good at test taking. Some people accomplish things. And it's, no, I'm joking.

I don't know. I'm just trying to. Well, I took my ACT and my sister at Austin Peay. She was in Austin Peay. I went to her dorm, spent the night. I'm not saying this would have made it higher if this hadn't happened. But we didn't have cable in Adams, Tennesseeennessee yet so i watched benny hill all night i'd never seen anything like it and i was so thrilled and then i i was like half dead went to the mcdonald's burned my tongue real

bad on some coffee and then i felt like i just went in there and just went and nobody ever said to me take it twice but i'm 58 years old my children they had a coach like i had to hire somebody now and to go through all that and they took it several times and you could have sued mcdonald's you could have been that was probably before that lady i know i didn't know any lawyers yeah changed your career know. But let me tell y'all that my kids, they want to know my ACT score, and I've never told them. And I said, it'll go to my grave. And so when I get the flu and I have high fever and I'm hallucinating,

they go, what was that ACT score? Because they're trying to get it out of me, but they'll never get it. So it's not even in the book. But then let me tell you all this. It's not even in the book. But then let me tell you on this. I got in 2012, I was honored that the University of Tennessee had me as Alumni of the Year. Oh, that's awesome.

2012. But just for arts and entertainment. There were people there that had been in stuff and scientists and all that. But I was the arts and entertainment entertainment and we went to a big dinner and i was the whole time i was sweating thinking they're gonna tell my in my gpa i thought they're gonna tell my because i'm finally graduated it took me nine years on and off because i quit yeah went back and then finished but i thought they're gonna tell people my GPA. And I sat there next to Chuck Morgan who got a undergraduate and a MBA and made straight A's and nobody gave him an award.

Imagine what they give you now though. That was 2012. When I couldn't get arrested, nobody cared. They wouldn't even ask me to be, I've never been at the parade of, you know, at homecoming. I've never done anything like that. They always get people that wrote Rocky Tops kids or something. But you were the Grand Marshal of the Knoxville Parade, weren't you?

Of the St. Patrick's. Oh, that's cool. I know. I had a ball. It was darling. So you're never going to tell anybody Does anybody know your ACT score? My choir, they band and choir speech and drama teacher

Because when he heard it, he yelled in front of the whole class Girl, you couldn't get into the Indiana School of the Blind Why Indiana? That's a tougher one of the blind schools. He was dramatic. Yeah, yeah. And he yelled that, but I thought it was funny. Did you take the SATs?

No. Yeah, we didn't. They didn't even tell us that in Adams. They didn't tell us either. I don't remember ever taking an SAT. Maybe we took one, because most people will go, what was your SAT score? And we didn't even take it.

Our ACT was mostly ACT. But that's only if you're going to go out of state, right? No, I don't know. A lot of these schools now, they don't even look at test scores now. I didn't think the SAT because if I do go to college, I know it's going to be in test seat. That's what I need now. A test score optionals?

Yeah, where they don't look at it. They just go, they fill it out. They go, all right, I like this guy's vibe. Yeah, they've got grit. They've got some sense. Yeah. They shake your hand, look you in the eye, and go, he's one of us. This guy feels like he's us.

Yeah. She's not going to smoke a bunch of cigarettes. 36 the most you get? It's out of 36, yeah. Good night. Yeah. That's crazy. You just know everything, right? Well, not 36, yeah. Good night. Yeah. That's crazy. You just know everything, right?

Well, not everything, but close. Yeah. Yeah. What was yours? Did y'all... What did y'all do? Do rocks or something?

I don't know. Just go. Is... I think mine was a 20. Y'all had to move hay from one side of the field to the other. I don't know.

Well, Ian and I, even the way you say tennis shoes, I mean. I say tennis shoes. But like Ruth says sneakers, and we say tennis shoes, but we don't even say tennis shoes. We say tinny shoes. Tinny shoes. Tinny shoes. Yeah, tennis shoes.

I say tennis shoes. Yeah. Because you went to private school and two colleges and lived on the east and west coast. That is true. I am highfalutin. I call them kicks, dude. Where were you raised?

No, Alabama. I call them tennis shoes. You do? Yeah. You were raised in Alabama. Montgomery, yeah. Oh my darn it, I love Montgomery. Yeah, it's a good good place to drive through but is your book scandalous no i wanted it to be i wanted honest to goodness i wanted to tell all of the horrible things i ever did and my literary agent who is darling and so funny he goes honey you're not joan crawford yet he goes let's wait to tell all that stuff

because um he goes let's do a cookbook maybe next time little cookbook and then the third one you know when you're an old old woman tell all the horrible stupid things you did i do have a lot of horrible stupid things i did in this one, but it wasn't everything. Is this some of it? Well, that's now it's a lead up to. What about the third book is a mix of a cookbook and those stories? Yeah. That's a great idea. Yeah.

What I ate during that sin. Yeah. Well, and I can tell y'all that I think I'm just at a point in my life where I don't care who knows. I don't care. I can tell it. I've been washed in the blood. I'm all right.

I know I'm okay. I've been forgiven. Because I know. I don't care. I know for a fact you and Burt Reynolds had a moment. We did have a moment. Wait, what? Is that in the book?

That'll be the third book. No, that's not in the book. Well, it should have been. You're leaving a Burt Reynolds story out of the book. I can't wait to read what's in there. I'll tell you about little Burt Reynolds. Yeah. He did.

This is crazy. He shot his last movie that he ever made called The Last Movie Star in Knoxville, Tennessee. And we don't, nothing shot up there. I mean, it used to be Food Network and Scripps and all that was that was up there and there was a lot of production but never movies or television my friend happened to work on it was crazy and they did this movie and and i've watched it and burt reynolds was out of this world in it and he was in his late early late 80s. Okay. My friend invited me to the premiere, and little Burt Reynolds walked in, honey, on a cane with a velvet jacket and rose-colored glasses.

And I don't, that was, it was a perm. I don't know if it was a perm, a wig, what was sitting on that little thing's head. And we locked eyes. Because I feel like I still had my bloom. I mean, it's been a few years ago. And he looks at me. And I looked at him.

I mean, it was like... I don't know. I could just tell he thought I was pretty. I just tell he thought I was pretty. Was he... I mean, he was still a handsome guy. He was barely hanging on. Still a handsome guy at that age. Well, he'd gotten a little, you know, down on a cane.

Sure. But still had that Burt Reynolds. Yeah. Burt Reynolds was still in there. Yeah. And he looked at me like, I know you're attracted to me right now with this cane and this wig on my head. And I was like.

Yeah. And I would have never, I'm saying I would never do anything unbiblical toward Chuck Morgan. But, I mean, I just had that thing. I mean, I know y'all are a lot younger than me, but when I was growing up, like Deliverance, and Deliverance was an unbelievable movie, but disturbing. Yeah, yeah. He was beautiful in it.

I mean, and then I think about all those with Sally Field and the... Was Deliverance shot in Knoxville? No. Where was this shot at? I think Georgia. Wasn't it Georgia? I don't know where it was shot, but it was so much fun.

Was it the Ocoee River? Or is that... What was shot at the Ocoee River? I thought there was something like that shot. Maybe. A River Wild or something? No, I don't know. But the Appalachian Mountains, you know, run from Georgia to Maine.

Yeah. And so I have lived in there. I have lived it. I've seen it. Maine doesn't ever take any Appalachian credit. Yeah. Like, they don't ever get thrown. Oh, interesting.

The mountains are in Maine, and you want to go like, y'all got a little bit up here. Yeah, that's true. And they don't even. It's almost the last state you think of when you do that. And it's part of it. Yeah. Wow.

It even goes into Canada. Does it? I think so. I think the Appalachian Trail, they've extended now to Canada. As you touch your laptop. They're just moving it? To unlock it. Oh.

Sorry. Doesn't recognize my thumbprint on there. There we go. Oh. All right. doesn't recognize my thumbprint on there there we go all right but chuck morgan when we met at bought a used mobile home business in bean station tennessee and moved me up there and that's in the foothills of the appalachian mountains where there were people who i mean it's beautiful up there and stunning lakes and all that kind of stuff. But there are people he set up houses for that did not know who the president was.

Really? There were still dirt floors and that kind of thing. But absolutely precious people. Precious, precious people. A little envious of that. I know. That kind of would be good. To just not even know who's the president.

They're like, man, yeah, things are great out here. Yeah. Yeah. The Coyote River blood money. Is this the movie you're thinking of? No. Okay. That's the only one I could find. No, no, it said River Wild.

Yeah. It said like four of them. Oh. Yeah. Wait, where? When you go back to the beginning. Oh, the River wild without a paddle yeah that's about rafting the okoye river okay i'm not without a paddle might be it that's a comedy

yeah i don't know i was thinking no i don't know where have y'all ever gone down i've gone down the hawaii sea we did the koei so when uh we have a crazy story with uh the uh we went and did it uh it was when the olympics were coming so they were doing the rafting in the koei river for the olympics so they had the water was very high we shouldn't have been on this thing it was like a high school trip so my brother's on it he's on one of the rafts uh and there was like because rocks like you know the guys that they when they take you down they know where the rocks are but they were the water is so high a lot of the rocks were covered so it's almost like they were like we don't even know what this river now we don't know the parts of it and derrick uh went over board and uh their raft flipped and he went down and then

someone like grabbed him had to yank him back in saved his life but it was like they were running on you know i don't know if there's a if it's out of 10 they were running like eight or something because they were they already got it ready for the olympics so we were on just uh insane like they should have they should have been like we, you know, let's shut it down. Yeah, unless you're an Olympian. Maybe sit this one out. I did the Grizzly River Rampage. Yeah.

What is that? Don't make light of it. It's dangerous. Yeah, it was a fun one. You want to tell us about true nutrition? Yep. Is that something that helps menopausal women lose their stomach? I think that's what it says.

I thought people take, that's the. Mine was right on the border of. Feminine. Lower than that. And, you know, testosterone can be, you shouldn't take it if you don't have to. But if you need it, it's good for energy and but it can also increase you know other risk other health yeah so like heart is that like red blood cells all that stuff you can you know so well let me tell y'all that um i went one time to get one of

I mean it was on I was like telling people I was like there's stop signs Like cause you're on You're just on streets They just take over this whole Kind of thing It was

I mean unbelievable Did you get any fair food While you were there? It looks like they got some good stuff. No, I didn't get any. We had boring Eric with us. So just walking around, couldn't get anything. I would have got a lot of stuff.

But it was just a crazy. That's a fair that you could almost tell someone, like, go fly and go to that fair they have the gondolin they have the thing that goes over it that's how big it is oh my gosh yeah they're two of them uh yeah that was the show yeah so i mean that wasn't my show but that's what the show looks like uh yeah it was it was just something else it was yeah very very cool the tennessee state fair set an attendance record this year really like 800 and something thousand Yeah, it was just something else. It was, yeah, very, very cool. The Tennessee State Fair set an attendance record this year. Oh, really?

Like 800 and something thousand, which is a ton. Oh, wow. Until you see that. That's crazy. Yeah. That's a lot for that. Tennessee State Fair is not. I went to it the first Saturday.

Yeah, because it's not a big. I mean, it's a big fair, but it's. Not as big as this one. I mean, they can't hand i mean 800 000 people a lot yeah for they need to you know they got one road basically into the tennessee state fair like i don't know how many days that last my tennessee state fair lasts like 10 days yeah i think it's 10. Yeah. They start school after. So every little child can go. Yeah, our school is going. Yeah.

When I was a kid, we started after Labor Day. We did too. Started school after Labor Day? Yeah. Yeah, I would never even remember that. How do you remember that? I'll tell you why I remember when we started my senior year high school they called the seniors in and or the kids that were going to become seniors and they said we're going to let you

make a choice next school year do you want to start school a week early july 31st or do you want to add 10 minutes on to every day for the whole year? And they let us vote on that. And we picked to start a week early. We started in July, July 31st. So you would just be like, so instead of 310, you get a 320 every day. You don't keep adding 10 minutes. No, it's just every day all year you get out 10 minutes later than you would.

Eventually it's 9.30 p.m. Golly, I didn't think this is through uh why would you vote for to start early i think i would have to because i think we're like yeah dude that first week is whatever and then all year you're gonna be like dude i would already those last 10 minutes are gonna feel awful every day because we could be out by now. What I would do is I bet you would do the 10 minutes because you're going to think, let's wait the teachers out. They also have to stay that 10 minutes. They don't want to do that.

So there's a chance they just go like, never mind, and they switch it. But if they already grabbed you for that week, then there's nothing you can do about it. You can't go back on that. You can't go back on that. Can't go back on that. That's a good point. We weren't thinking about how to manipulate the people around us. But, you know.

You put it on them and go, this ain't about us. Right. These teachers don't want to be there 10 minutes more. So you think, I mean, they're eventually going to be just annoyed with it. Yeah. And, yeah. Was it a close vote or an overwhelming no i think we was pretty much a consensus yeah yeah but i remember thinking july's early to start school that is that's crazy i gotta

run all that air conditioning yeah that's true that's what chuck morgan says that why do they that's stupid they should wait till after labor day when it can cool down some and then you don't have to run all that air condition that's what he's always thinking yeah you know the bottom line yeah but my little children would always start on august 19th because that was charlie's birthday my oldest so chuck is weird about is he were like the ac in the house and stuff too yeah but now i have a little power there you go and. And, yeah, I run it all day long. Yeah. Well, at night, I do.

I just say, Chuck, I've got to have this if you want me to keep working like a mule. Yeah. I've got to be able to sleep. Yeah. So I'm putting it down to 62. 62. Yes. I love it.

I love it. It's mental. I would like ours lower. I'll go to 70. But Laura does it. It's menopause. I would like ours lower. I'll go to 70, but Laura doesn't. Because I'll go, and Laura will be not under the covers. I'm like, what the point? It should be cold enough that you want under the covers. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

She doesn't have any body fat. Yeah. She needs to eat some Reese's Cubs. And then get under the covers, and y'all turn it down real low. You sleep better when it's cold. I like it. I want it cold. A hotel, though, I'll go down.

Low 60s, dude. I do, too, but do you feel like they do something to where they put it back up in the middle of the night? Sometimes. I think so. And these smart thermostats are, I can't figure out what it is. It's like you can't control them.

They go, oh, we'll change it back at 3 a.m. You're like, well, that's not the point of this we had our hotel this weekend in minnesota uh fire alarm goes off 2 50 in the morning and uh telling everybody go down so we're and i'm on like the 30th floor so that you know you're not supposed to use elevators or all this stuff. And so I did not go down. But I'm looking. Because then I called. Well, it was weird because I called Travis. Travis is next to me.

And I'm like, where are you at? He was like, he walked down the stairs. So he was like, I'm on the 10th floor. And, you know, it's like with fire alarms, you just think, you kind of think you're like, I don't know if I believe this. And so I was like, let me see what happens. And then I got word there was a flooding on like the 29th or 28th floor, like right below us. And the only floor didn't get wet. No, yeah.

Well, what's crazy, so they have it, the fire alarm, it goes off. Because then, you know, there's a bunch of comics. We're all different floors. So we text like a text, like a whole thread. And I mean, three of us were the only ones that knew the alarm was going off. The other ones had no idea. They go, I don't know what you're talking about. And there's no alarm was going off on their floor and they didn't even hear it. So they so then it was like, all right, well, they're not even making everybody leave.

They're only making these two. There's a water break or something. And so they only made these people leave but then some of those other guys just woke up and their floors were wet and they were like they didn't know what it was and uh then Travis had to walk all the way down and then the elevator wasn't working so they're like we can go back up it's 30 flights of stairs yeah four in the morning yeah so you're you know he like, I'll just wait. Everybody's kind of like, we're just going to wait for the elevator. You hear a fire alarm, your first thought is this is a mistake.

Yeah. You hear a car alarm, you never think, oh, a car's getting broken into. It's just like somebody's car alarm went off. You got to fix that. Yeah. I mean, I was looking out the window. I was trying to see uh what was going on you know to see if i could see some stuff i was a little nervous because like there was cops

downtown like blocking off roads and i think it was you know there's like uh you know a lot of party and a lot of people out and stuff and so then in my head i'm like man they're blocking these roads off kind of near the hotel so i'm like is there a threat at this hotel and then i'm just staying up here uh no but i mean i didn't in 30 flights of steps man yeah imagine going back up 30 flights of steps he's in the middle of the night no got eric with you he wants you to carry yeah some weight sleep in the lobby yeah yeah yeah i had that happen to me in florida at a marriott and it started going off at and just loud horrible noise i get up put on my pants grab my purse i have on a you know i don't know if i had a gown on i think i got dressed because i thought i'm you know i've still got dexterity.

I can get dressed, go down this thing. Women came out. It was a scrapbooking convention going on. Nobody had on a bra. And you were just there for the? I was there. I had a show. I can't remember where it was. It wasn't Sarasota.

Somewhere I had done a show. Are you like Elvis to them? I kind of was. That would be Elvis to them? I kind of was. That would be. I kind of was. I'd hate to say that to y'all, but yeah, it's kind of my demo. Well, little women that I guess thought something bad was wrong, it was the laundry room, something, a dryer sheet,

something was wrong, but not bad. But I thought, I'm going to put on my underpannens. I'm not going to come on my underpinnings. I'm not going to come out here with no underwear on. Everybody else came out. Out of bed, no purse, nothing. Everybody, I just sat down there and had a ball. I met more people.

But people, women, you could see through their gowns. It was awful, I thought. The first thing I thought is everybody needs to go and buy new sleepwear. Yeah. Everybody looked terrible. And then, I mean, they weren't terrible. They're close. You could see everything. And then some of them had on those sweatshirts that said, what stays, what happens in scrapbooking stays in scrapbooking.

A lot of them had that t-shirt on. No bra. That's kind of the opposite of scrapbooking. What does that even mean? Scrapbooking is, no, no, it's all going to be in scrap yeah yeah but i think they may get to a marriott and let loose i think i mean they look like they were having a ball but this was in the middle of the night and then i went back upstairs and then it happened again and we all had to go back down but the fire chief came all All that came. It was exciting. It was balmy outside.

We had a ball. I talked to more people about Ace Hardware, I remember. Anyway, you know me. I talked to a pole. But, yeah, I kind of, it was a big deal. In front of that fountain at the Marriott. I had a fire alarm go off during my show this weekend. And I noticed two people took advantage of the opportunity to leave. I had a fire alarm go off during my show this weekend. Mm.

And I noticed two people took advantage of the opportunity to leave. They didn't come back after. Where was it, Brian? It was in Atlanta and it was at a warehouse and it was one of those clearly just something,

whatever. But I saw one couple were like, all right, we got a chance. And they didn't come back after? No, I think they came back, but they at least

had a chance to leave yeah did y'all ever work side splitters in knoxville when that was open i did yeah did you did the fire alarm ever go off no i just did i did a guest set there one week i never worked it i did i did i was there they had a lot of grease on the kitchen floor and there would i every time I ever did a week, it was the fire department had to come every time. And I, and I, everybody would get out cause they knew it was crazy.

Yeah. Slide around on it. Where were you Aaron? Why'd it close? Um, I, uh, where was I?

Dallas, Plano, Texas. Oh yeah. House of comedy. Uh, I'd never done that club before. Very nice. Uh, great crowds. I'm going to shout out a couple of Texas. Oh, yeah. House of Comedy. I'd never done that club before. Very nice.

Great crowds. I want to shout out a couple people. Cindy and her family. This is Thursday night. I said Montgomery, Alabama, and a table wooed in the front. And they said we went to MA, which is like the rich school in Montgomery. Yeah. So I made fun of them for a second.

And then she handed me, while I'm kind of trashing her, she handed me a hand-knitted baby blanket that she had brought to the show. Like the sweetest gift anybody's ever given me. While I'm kind of trashing them, I was like, wow, I'm sorry. That's a lesson right there. Maybe don't go in on people. So they were very nice. I also met, this is what was cool,

I met high level southwest airlines executive came to the show oh really he changing the boarding policy it was his brain child it was his project that he'd been working on for years and he finally got it approved so we talked about that for a long time i mean can you tell us anything about it? Just that he's like... Was he like a fan? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he knows us and stuff. And he was saying they just ran so many analytics.

They interviewed so many customers. This is the best thing for... He kind of... Because I was not nervous about it, but I was a little annoyed by it because I've gamed the system to work to my advantage now. And he's like, you'll be able to game the new system too. That's how we want it to work is you'll find a way to get what you want out of it.

But he made me feel better about everything. What something's changing? You know, in Knoxville, I don't have Southwest. Southwest is open seating. That's the way it's been for 50 years. I've flown it some. They're switching to assigned seating they are abandoning a 50-year tradition yeah but it but it's it comes at years and years of

of of analyzing uh all the data in the world and this is the guy this was his project is the plane going to be the same it's going to change a little bit i think yeah it's not gonna be like a first class no thing now but it'll just and you so what you can just pick your seat you just pay extra for like the exit row i think so and there's gonna be ways to to uh for the people that have status to to like pick their seats first and stuff so there's it's gonna be different but i think it'll be good in the long run after talking to that guy look at the tone has changed you go meet one guy and you're now yeah i mean you were you were so mad about it well yeah because i spent i spent a long time trying to work that system to my advantage and then i got it and then go, we're dismantling the system. Yeah.

You know, but it was cool to meet, you know, meet the guys. Like, this was my, I'm the guy that did this. Yeah. And he was really proud of it. Yeah. Well, yeah, it's a big thing. Mm-hmm. Wow. A great weekend in the greater Dallas area.

like i didn't have a career and thought should i go to publics and just see if anybody knows who i am it's twisted very twisted because you know i've been touring heavy yeah i've been i'm now into my, I think, into my third 100. Well, what am I in? I did over 100 shows for Big Panty. Then I'm still in the Just Getting Started Tour, and I'm now gone into 200 shows, I think. Wow. But I took off so that I could be with my family and my babies before I moved to Los Angeles temporarily.

You're moving out to L.A. temporarily? Mm-hmm. To do a television series. Wow. That's exciting. It's very exciting. Have you talked about that on here before? No.

That's news to us. A Chuck Lorre show on Netflix. Oh, that's right. Okay. I heard about that. That's awesome. I didn't know. Thank you, my darling.

And I'm thrilled. I'm tickled. I'm scared. I'm scared. I'll just tell y'all I'm scared. I've never done anything like my darling and i'm i'm thrilled i'm tickled and i'm scared i'm scared i'll just tell y'all i'm scared i've never done anything like that and i'm scared but he he was darling he flew up my house in um knoxville and met my family and held my grandbabies and he's precious to me darling and um we've got the writing staff and all that and so they've written the pilot and then i'm a writer on it. So I rewrite what I think needs punching up or whatever,

what I would say, what I wouldn't say. And then they're casting now. They've casted most of the parts. Oh, that's so good. So I go out there. I have to be out there to shoot the first pilot in October. Wow, it's coming up. Mm-hmm.

But it's 16 episodes, two seasons, and they're going to do it in seven months. But I'll come back in fourth. And I told Nate I'll be on the road some doing, you know, to stay on stage and to be able to work, but mostly out west

so that I can shoot it. My next Netflix special is going to be, I'm going to shoot it in June. I think I'm going to shoot it in Wilmington, North Carolina. Oh, yeah. Awesome. I know I'm tickled. I thought Dallas is a good place for me, and I wanted to do Majestic, but they're working on that theater, doing something, shutting it down.

But I thought Wilmington, North Carolina would be darling. But that's in June next year. So I hope I can. You got a busy year coming up. When's your movie coming out? January the 30th on Amazon Prime. Okay. Yeah, you're going to be everywhere.

When are you running for office? It feels like you got to. Oh, Lord. That's the last thing left, it feels like. Oh, Lord. I couldn't do that. But I play Reese Witherspoon's big sister, Gwyneth. And you're cordially invited with Will Ferrell.

Wow. I know. It was so fun and crazy and darling. And everybody wanted me to win. Everybody was precious. Nick Stoller directed who did Saving Sarah Marshall. So he was a doll. And so, yeah, that comes out.

I think it got pushed further away because of the SAG after. Okay, the strike. strike yeah how did you like filming the movie was it is it fun or i liked it it's a lot of hurry up and wait and i got you know you get bored out of your mind but i was sitting there talking to jack mcbrayer and all these darling people i had a ball with the cast but it's a lot of waiting around and i'm not used to that but and I was scared. I was scared to death at first. And I was scared through the whole thing.

But once you realize how things work, Sweet Fortune Beamster said to me, Lynn, there's a piece of tape on the floor. Go stand on it and say your line. That's how little I knew. Oh, yeah. So she helped me. Everybody would give me pointers. Jack McBrayer behind the camera.

Energy, Lynn. I mean, everybody was precious to me. me everybody would give me pointers jack mcbrayer behind the camera and like energy land i mean everybody was precious to me yeah i was scared to death looking in will ferrell's eyes to say i had one line i had one word in a scene where i had to say so and i looked in his eyes and forgot it i forgot so i looked and and I was like, got a horrible feeling. I thought, what? And then it dawned on me.

I went, so? So they're pros. I know why they're pros. Little Reese said to me, because I said, how am I going to learn lines? I get too nervous and then I got to say a line.

And she goes, there's an app. You can study your lines and do that kind of stuff. But they told me this television show is going to be more like a play. It's more like a play. It's a multi-cam? Multi-cam in front of a live audience. Oh. Yeah.

That would be like stand-up because you get laughs from the jokes. Yeah. So you know how to do that. Your timing will be great. Yeah. That would be like stand-up because you get laughs from the jokes. Yeah. So you know how to do that. Your timing will be great. That would be perfect. I hope so. I'm scared.

Teresa Dorough Daru Dorough You remember going to Tuesday in Wichita? Teresa Dorough. Daru Dorough. My nine-year-old and I just watched The Greatest Average American again the night before this came out, and I told her that Nate was in her corner supporting her with her peanut allergy. She could not stop smiling the entire time that segment was on. Keep up the great work, fellas.

All right. All right. All right. Sweet. Yeah. People got these peanut problems. The ones that want it. It's the adults. Mm-hmm.

Let's let go of peanuts. Yeah. I don't even like them. Yeah. You know? Alan Cup. Me and my two adult sons had the pleasure of seeing Aaron perform in Dayton, Kentucky. He crushed it.

Great set. Very fun night. During Aaron's set, I think he could do a pretty good impersonation of both George W. Bush and Forrest Gump. There were moments when I could catch a vibe of both. Two great Americans. Yep. Thank you, Alan.

Do you agree with that? No, I don't really. I mean, the Forrest Gump is... No, I can't hear that at all. I can't hear it. I can't hear it. I haven't heard Bush talking so long. I forgot how that guy sounds.

Ter. Ter. Yeah, there you go. Jenny. I know. It's tough. I'll workshop it. Brian Bingham.

When I married my wife, I learned that her family were big fans of storytelling. Since then, we've been to storytelling festivals across the country, and I've grown to love it as well. From an outsider perspective, there seems to be some similarities between stand-up and storytelling. Just curious, if any of you have ever been to a storytelling festival, if so, what do you see

as the similarities and differences? I've never been to a storytelling festival. I didn't know that this kind of thing existed. Though I feel like this is a lot of what Leanne and Nate, you're both, do you tell stories on stage stage i've been to one in

jonesborough tennessee because my little children went to a christian school in knoxville and they have a field trip every year to go to that story telling festival when you're in fifth grade and i went every year and it is fascinating i know paul strickland. You do too, Nate. Oh, yeah. There's a lot of women there that let their hair grow on their legs and they can't. Which I've always said, you know, if God wanted me to homeschool,

but he never called me to do that because he knew I couldn't. But it's a lot of... Donald Davis. Donald Davis was at that. And let me tell y'all, he killed. And I'll tell you what he did it on. This story was, you know, growing up in church,

when you're in a little church and they have the nativity play, and he talked about like having to, he went through the whole thing of the nativity play, and you couldn't get your breath. And he was talking about how he had to wear his mother's lingerie gown, like as a shepherd. Like a wise man or shepherd. Yeah, a wise man.

And he took his dad's crown royal bag that his whiskey had been in, and that was to give to the baby Jesus. And went through this whole detail, unbelievable detail, and everybody died. And that little man's still doing that. That's been how my children are grown. Are they all funny? No, some of them are like telling a story about.

An intense story. The what? Intense. Oh, I thought. She said intense. Intense. They tell them intense. Or like from a cultural, like different cultures and experiences,

you know, maybe being raised in the islands or something. Yeah. Like very animated and there's a, there is a, it's a gift. Be honest though. These are easy crowds though. These are easy. Well, these are some girls who've been homeschooling. They're home.

Yeah, they like to get out, have some ice cream. But you would kill on this festival, right? You ever think? I think you would kill too much like an act. They're doing, yeah, it's a different thing. Compared to what they're doing. Yeah, it's a different thing. Look at Pip Gillette.

Wonder what he's talking about. Yeah. Look at him, cute. I bet he's telling a Western story. Yeah. I want to go to this. I might pivot into this. I got to tell y'all.

This might be more my thing. I enjoyed it. And it's also in Jonesboro, Tennessee. It's a very historical town. And so there's men playing guitar and acting like they're from the 1800s on the side of the... I think it's the oldest city in Tennessee. Is it? Really?

I wonder how's that? One of the other cities? Yeah. Did they settle there first? Yeah, they settled there first. But Charlie Morgan, my oldest, majored in history and loves history. The Levin's like, we were here too.

He loved the whole thing. By the time Tess went, she's bougie. She was like, do we have to go to this? Can we just skip? But I loved it. And so he loved it. He loved the whole thing. Okay. By the time Tess went, she's bougie. She was like, do we have to go to this? Can we just skip? But I loved it. I really did. It was fascinating. How long did they talk?

Look at that schedule. Yeah. Yeah. How long are these? How long are the stories? I can't remember that, y'all, but I don't know, like 15, 20 minutes maybe. Oh, okay. Two to three.

That's an hour. Yeah. They got openers. Yeah. Yeah. That's an hour. Yeah, they got openers. Yeah, that's an hour, dude. I mean, that's a long time to tell. Yeah. I guess you're telling your story maybe. Whatever story you want to tell.

Mm-hmm. That's interesting. It's a whole world I knew. I knew nothing about that. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of homeschoolers. A lot of people. That's interesting It's a whole world I knew I knew nothing about that Yeah A lot of homeschoolers A lot of people That who goes to it

Who goes to it I really do I think a lot of little mamas and campers Are going Set the camper up Don't shave Which is I think fun I think those fun gals

Yeah and to not wear deodorant and take your kids, I think there's something sweet about that. But eventually get back to it. Because I was always taking mine to get their hair highlighted, and that probably wasn't the best thing either. But yeah, I would say to Brian, yes, Brian, it's very different, but wonderful. Yeah, I think we just have, yeah.

brian it's very different but wonderful yeah i think we just have yeah yeah i think it's like uh stand up you just get no real grace yeah like from the time like you go up there and it's like you're expected to more than 10 seconds is there more act outs in storytelling i don't remember that i just remember like that guy was really funny about growing going to that doing that nativity and what all happened but there were other ones that it's more of educational like get taking you back in time to experience this story that may have happened you know during the 1800s or and so everything's not to get a laugh. We have to get a laugh. We have to, you know, there has to be details that are funny. Yeah. We want a solution.

We want life, man. Yeah. Brandy Koi. Koi. Imagine me fighting to put on a good poker face. Due to shock when my cousin walked down the aisle to I will always love you Dolly is incredible

The song is classic but that title is really misleading The song is about parting ways We were talking about Leigh Ann Nate says he never listens to lyrics to songs So he has no idea what some of his favorite songs were about And I mean I always love you That was Dolly and Porter Wagner

Yeah she left him Not romantically but his show and I mean I always love you that was Dolly and Porter Wagner yeah she was left him mm-hmm not romantically but his show and I he had brought her up and she had to break off and become Dolly Parton and she yeah I met him one time at Rivergate Mall oh really yeah you know full sequin jacket, a little cowboy hat propped up on his little palm. And he wanted me to share ice cream with him, and it was a chocolate-covered banana. I look back on it, and I think, it's odd. Yeah. The whole thing sounds weird.

Yeah. But I enjoyed meeting him, you know. I was 15. Oh, gosh. Rivergate Mall? It just keeps getting weirder. Yeah, you know. I was 15. Oh, gosh. Rivergate Mall? This keeps getting weirder. Yeah, save that for your third book. Yeah.

I also met Ricky Skaggs at Sherwin-Williams. What was that? There was a big warehouse that used to be in Gullensville, and you could go and get, like, discount things. What was that called? You'd see like a professional wrestler every once in a while but i was going trying to find the bathroom and ricky's case was like no autographs okay i'm looking for a fishing pole and i was like 14

and and i was like scared i went i'm sorry which i wish i had the guts you know that i have now i would have said i'm going to the bathroom. But anyway, those are two memories. I'm sorry I brought those out. Well, it needed to be said. It needed to be said. But lyrics, I don't listen to lyrics ever really. I feel like if you start that song at the end, then that's fine.

Just start it at that point. That's the part everybody cares about. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Scott Nazariness. Nazariness. Do you all think individuals who frequently rant and vent about everyday annoyances have a natural advantage in stand-up comedy,

given their knack for expressing frustration? Yeah, I think stand-up is all built on we get annoyed at very pointless things. Do you have frustrations? Do I have frustrations? No, I don't. I'm easygoing. Yeah, we get very frustrated at like... You go, I'm sitting next to one.

Annoying. Yeah, I think that's why We can't probably let stuff go I think you and Dusty are both really good at that And then you channel it And make it a Fun joke where you end up being Kind of self-deprecating Like fights with your wife or whatever

You filter it so it's not harsh But still funny Yeah, you want to be You don't want to be mean But it's tough when you're right and everybody's wrong uh would that be like sebastian sebastian monz call kind of yeah yeah and he does it in a good way where it's about like him walking around it's like just the frustration that he's dealing with you know and it's a mix of how do you do it?

Do you do it? I think I try to bring it back into me being like it's ridiculous that I'm this frustrated with this thing, you know. But yeah. Yeah. Jordan Doust. I bet that's it. You don't think it's Doust? No.

I bet it's it. I nailed it. I'd love to get your thoughts On the importance of the pauses In your comedy In music they often talk about The importance of the space Between the notes

Being just as important As the notes you're playing How much do you think About the pauses In between words Or sentences In your act Yeah I mean

That's all timing Cause it's like music I think it's like a it's like a song so you're playing your pauses are determined by the the setting that you are in it's the reason I think I talked about it like George Washington sketch on the SNL when it didn't work in the table read is because I wasn't giving any time for pauses because there's not a lot of laughs because we're reading it. So it's not just the same thing. But when I performed it in front of a real crowd, I was, I paused a lot because I'm now playing off that.

So your timing is all completely on the crowd and your timing can change. So each show, you know, shows that can be super fun are the ones that you're getting to kind of sit and, you know, like let it kind of settle for for a second i'm actually kind of trying to work on that i did last night in fargo i was trying to you know it's like i don't want to go too long but it's you know just like maybe just see where you can sit for a second and let them like kind of regather themselves especially you get a big joke and his big laughs and it was like maybe it's a

bunch of them in a row and then kind of let them regather it's different too in the size rooms that y'all two are doing yeah a pause is so different yeah yeah it's harder you know yeah it's harder in a club yeah it's or it's not hard it's just different you would do it you would do it i didn't do it then yeah i mean i was very like rapid like you. You're always just trying to get to it. Your timing is really based on the crowd. It's just completely up to the crowd. If you feel like they're chatty, are you going to lose them?

Maybe you're a little bit quicker because you just think, I can't let them get on their own because if they get on their own, they're going to start talking and whatever. You got to stay with them a little bit you know you just kind of go stay on it's like a song it's i mean just like a song do you feel like in big arenas it's even harder uh it's just i love it i mean last night

we were in it's uh you're just playing a bigger instrument and it's just, do they always have your face? You're always have a big screen. Yeah. I play to the cameras too. So I'll, I, I know when the camera's going to get on. So I'll hit a joke and be looking right at the camera, you know, like I'll time it out cause I'm making a circle. And so it's very fun. It's a real, it feels like real, it's a play in a sense it's like you're up there talking that's why i'm not like i'm not always the best at coming out of my act i don't

you know it's like uh and i feel like sometimes i can because i'll go on stage and i just kind of get into it i try to have some real moment up at the top, but I'm not the best at it because I just want to perform. So I'm just very excited to, you know, I mean, all this stuff is like, you're just like, let me get it going, and then now we're off, and we're just boom, boom, boom. You're just hitting everything, and then I'm looking at the camera.

It's the best.'s it's it's just a it's like a play i love i mean i love it so you're talking about that that camera that's in the back like if you're at yeah i've got rough arena coming up yeah i did rip okay there's a there's a there's that bottom floor there's a camera at the back with all the audio end stage right are you in the middle or the end stage audio you're at the end stage right are you in the middle or the end stage i'm probably at the end stage so yeah that there'll be the the camera will be there and so you just kind of can be looking but then maybe when you hit your punch or when you whatever it's kind of like come back to that middle camera oh that's a wonderful thing

because it's like, because a lot of people are having to watch on the screens. The screens are really great. I mean, it feels, it's, you know, take advantage of, I've never,

it's changed my opinion on screens because I used to always think that when you go to concert, I'm just watching the screen. I'm not even watching the person. You can't see the person anyway. Like if you were in a thousand seat, I mean, you would need to be in a

hundred seat club to actually see someone's real facial expressions and all this kind of even in the back of zanies you can't see the comic's face no and that's yeah 300 seats and like it no matter what so if you got the screen there you're what you're doing is you're paying for the experience of being there together and you do see it you kind of look up and then you look down you get a piece of it then you look at the camera and then you you know and then you know the ones sitting up front are kind of going they can see where you're sitting can see closer and but it's it's the ride is you're all in this ride together it's like you're it's you're paying to be a part of a group i think

even with concerts well and i i had a show on this tour that i was in a small arena the the screens did not work yeah and for me because i feel like i'm more you have to see me and my expressions yeah and i felt horrible because i knew that there were people back up in there that could had no idea what was i was like a speck and i felt terrible so i love a screen i need a screen i feel like people need to watch my expression and they asked me if i want to be at phoenix and i know you love it celebrity and go in the circle and i've done it once but i said is there any way there could be screens up that's's a little bit better, though, because that venue is not super deep because you're in the middle. That's like one of my favorite places ever to perform.

And you need to tell me how to do it because I feel like my back was to people. It is. You just move the whole time. You just kind of move. You don't really have to talk about it. It makes you move more and it makes you be more animated and it makes you, you're kind of just, I think it gets people into your rhythm of just like walking around. Like since I've not been really going out a ton when I was doing all the dates, uh, and I was in the round, I was, I got very slow. Like I was able to like kind I got very slow. I was able to really go slow. And I could tell myself, this one I'm a little faster just because I'm not in the rhythm.

Because your tendency is to make quick laps. And you just got to go slower. I'm always working on it. Last night I was working on trying to be a little more open. Because if you think about it, if I'm looking to one side, I'm seeing I'm only my back is to a corner of this kind of circle. And so if I just keep going, they're all you can kind of always be looking and just try to be very like open. And then when you hit the joke, like look at the camera and it's I i mean you and that's when you can feel everybody's just very engaged and it's just and when it's an act too that's when they're engaged when it's not

an act is when you lose them that's when it's not a performance and if you're doing the big places it needs to be a performance you can't keep the club can be there you can get a club back and get people back on your side it's too many people in an arena it needs to be a performance harlem globetrotters have an act they go do and you you're talking about don't don't get away from that yeah you can have some stuff i mean look stuff happens but you it's you know it's just such the the stakes are the highest they can be. And so just be, just do your act that you would do. And you're going to be able to pause because the laughs will be bigger and

there's more people and there's all this stuff and you just kind of be in it and just go and just, you know, I don't know. It's, it's like a beautiful, it's like a, I love it.

Yeah. It's, it's the dance. I like it. The best screens are the ones in Aura frames. Right, Aaron? Do y'all have a birthday coming up? Any of y'all have a birthday coming up?

oh yeah yeah it's good for that uh jane jawarski many many times while visiting a hotel a complimentary breakfast people come to breakfast in their pajamas. The last time an entire family came to breakfast, the hair's all messed up, rubbing their eyes, wearing matching flannel PJs and slippers. Mom, dad, grown children, grandchildren, all of them. Thoughts on that? Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it.

It's a great question because today's topic is etiquette, so that's a good way to get into it. It's kind of like that fire that happened in the Marriott you see everybody's yeah and that's me i still think they should have got together put together even for that that was i agree with you it's a little inappropriate shirt on well i mean it's crazy to you know it's just like it's so funny to be when you're in a hotel you're in your most vulnerable state of being asleep and most comfortable at home and then you open the door and you're just around strangers and everybody's fine with that i think yeah people are a little too loose like let's be a little professional that's i don't need to see your i'm not your dad

i'm not your brother i'm not you know like i don't need to see this depends on the hotel too right some hotels is gonna it makes sense. No, not wearing that. Dude, I mean, just throw on, you don't have a pair of jeans and a t-shirt? Yeah. Flannel PJs is crazy, but I get like shorts and a t-shirt and then slip in slides.

I understand that too, but attire is going down. It's going backwards. People are wearing stuff that's so... And you can wear whatever you want to wear, but there's no thought into it. I think that's the problem. It's not saying...

It's got to be demure and mindful. Yeah. What is demure? That's like a word, right? That's the new hot word I learned. Why are people saying that? It's a TikTok that went viral. Oh, I don't even know what it means.

Yeah. It doesn't matter and then so uh they you want thought into it even if you're wearing shorts yeah you can wear shorts and a t-shirt in tennis shoes and if it's if it's you if i can tell that you're like oh you chose that that's better than just someone that walked out wearing, like they just grabbed stuff randomly off the floor, but I'm not walking out. I'm walking downstairs to get breakfast. Yeah.

But you're around other people have respect for the other people. Like you're not, who are you? What are we in your world that we have to deal with your nonsense? Like you don't own the hotel. I know, but you don't own, it's not,

you're going into be respectful to other, like there's a family. It's my responsibility to raise the, raise the bar of the, it's not, you're going in to be respectful to other, like there's a family out there. It's my responsibility to raise the bar of the Hampton Inn, I meant. If you have, maybe the bar wouldn't be low if you weren't a bunch of yous walking down there with Walmart slippers and acting like you're not embarrassed at all about the way you look. A bunch of me's. Well, that's the problem is none of y'all are, you're not embarrassed. No one gets embarrassed. Everybody's just fine with being just this.

Yeah. You know, it's like, just show me some, just be an, I shouldn't notice you. That's what I think. I should not notice you. You shouldn't walk down there and everybody goes, huh? And they see you. That shouldn't happen. there and everybody goes, huh, and they see you. That shouldn't happen. We should be eating breakfast.

We're down there just trying to be like, yeah, we're all trying to do this. We're not going to be annoying. We're not going to be just wear whatever would make you unnoticed. That's what you should wear. Okay. Okay. You can curly in. Yeah. Okay. You can curly in. Yeah. I mean, well, and I don't mean, more I'm worried about girls coming down with no bra on.

I mean, that kind of stuff with a pajama pant. Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy because there's a weird comfort. I'm a grandmother, you know. Yeah, there's a weird comfort in this with, you know, kind of dressings. Look, I wear a lot of golf stuff. I wear a lot of – there's so many clothes that you can wear that are – you can sleep in golf pants if you want to.

Athletic shirt. That's athletic shirt. I mean, yeah, that leisure. You can – honestly, they're pajamas now. You can wear them and it's accepted. Just throw that out. The bars are – like it's accepted. Just throw that out. The bars are like it's – we're not asking you to do a suit.

It's just like – Look intentional. Just don't be – you have to know you look like a slut, you know, or you have to go down there and you look like it's like crazy. Is it like pajamas with bears on them, that kind of thing? No. I don't even know. I think I would maybe feel better if it was even, even if it was flannel pajamas,

at least if it was put together pajamas. What about Christmas morning? You know what I mean? You're going to the hotel lobby on Christmas morning? Again, if you- You're at a Hampton Inn on Christmas? Yeah, you chose- I've had some sad Christmases like that.

Yeah. I have too. Yeah, W you chose. I've had some sad Christmases like that. I have too. Waffle House. You chose to be out in that hotel. That doesn't mean it goes, hey, everybody do whatever they want. You don't know these people. These are strangers. It's very weird and it's crazy.

Just put something. I don't know just put something try just a little try a robe or something I mean people don't wear man they wear stuff

no one dresses up anymore to anything and I gotta tell you I don't enjoy a continental breakfast anymore oh yeah all that digging

and doing and people in front of you and it's kind of like being on a cruise yeah it just gives me the willies now i've eaten in a month for years you know doing comedy for over 20 years and i but and i would have chuck morgan in my ear going do not go to panera don't spend that money eat that continental breakfast get a bold egg land so i would think we're gonna lose everything if i don't go to the continent and i and i would not go to panera i'm a room follower yes so i would go to that and it's just all that gob going on and then people are in their pajamas too it's just a lot but i and i tell you where most of the time i would be going because we had

girls play travel volleyball we were constantly in a hilton garden in a hampton inn or something with a bunch of volleyball kids and their siblings we probably tormented people i would the continental breakfast is a very overrated breakfast they throw that around man like they're just like it's free i it's i'd rather just let me just pay for my it's i think it's i've never liked a continental breakfast i go down there and i'm always like this is the worst it's nice on the way out of the hotel grab an apple grab a banana yeah but i feel like i can grab an apple banana everywhere on earth i don't think they have bacon at continental breakfast they do most most of these do i don't know yeah they don't have eggs and bacon yeah

scrambled eggs and bacon usually and then like some i don't know. They don't have eggs and bacon. Yeah. Scrambled eggs and bacon usually. And then like some, I don't know. I thought it was like, I thought it's all stuff that it's nothing cooked. Sometimes it's like that. But a lot of them have the silver trays with basic breakfast meat. Well, that's not, I don't think that's continental. I think that's continental. I think continental is implied to be like, you know, we pulled it.

We get done with it. We roll it in the refrigerator. And then roll it back out. And then roll it back out the next morning. Well, most of it's like that. Yeah. Breads. Yeah.

Breads and fruits. Breads, fruits. I mean, look, a muffin's not. Yeah, muffin's good. I get that it is free. But you're paying. I mean, you're paying for the hotel. It's not.

It's the experience. It's factored in yeah well Adrian found this book complete book of etiquette I think it was last I think I saw update 1995

so some things have changed since this book came out as far as tipping yeah no one even does it anymore and

does what anymore etiquette as a whole this is she should have had etiquette and not made this book No one even does it anymore. And does what anymore? Etiquette. As a whole, this is, she should have had etiquette and not made this book. I agree. I agree. That's crazy. 700 pages. Has apprised it, yeah.

Amy Vanderbilt, was that a Vanderbilt? I don't know. Was that Anderson Cooper's mom? Amy Vanderbilt was an American authority on etiquette. 1952 was the first edition of Amy Vanderbilt's complete book of etiquette. She is the ancestor of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. Yep. 19th century railroad magnate.

They would know it. They would know it. Yeah, this is the world that she grew up in was all this prim and proper. I think I like etiquette. Even though I think there is. I think I do. I think I like, I do like the mix. Like there is some, it's a mix.

I like the, I don't know what to say. I don't know if I want etiquette, but it's like, I, it's like, I like it, but I like that there's some rules. Like there's at least some tradition maybe i like you know i agree and this is something my lucy and i are talking about a lot now because we were both raised very differently when it comes to this stuff so we're talking about how we want our kid to act i was always yes sir no sir, no, sir, yes, ma'am. Does that with me. My mom would stand in front of the door and wait for me to open it for her. Stuff like that.

Yeah. Where Lucy's family does not do that kind of stuff. So we're trying to find the right. Now, I think we were right. Yeah. But that's where you have to do it as a dad. Yeah. I have to remind myself sometimes.

Because I was raised that way, too. But it's like, I mean, kids are just, Harper will do, you know, I mean, you're just trying to get them to say yes now. Yeah. Because they just go, yeah, yeah. So you're just like, just say yes. But it's, yes, man, she'll do it to, they do it outwardly, I think, when you raise kids right. They're going to do it to strangers, and they're going to do it very politely.

You know, because you always get just, sometimes I think with kids, you just be like, your kid is the nicest. And you're like, she talks to me like a, you know, some chump. Like, I think that's how, I think that's what parenting is. We're teaching Eleanor to say please. Oh, yeah. And she still does the sign language because you know babies learn sign language for certain words so oh there's certain things she'll still put in the sign language with it so whenever she says please she always this is what please is

yeah oh yeah so very cute so leanne etiquette on an. Are you a window seat person or an aisle seat person? I like an aisle, my darling. I switched. Were you window and now you're aisle? I was window and now I like an aisle. And do you think, well, I was going to say as far as deplaning, but when's the last time you and Nate had anybody in front of you besides the pilot? have anybody in front of you besides the pilot but it's crazy how people even up there just rush to go out and don't like let you get your stuff

down and everybody and i know you're in a hurry like you've got it i always connect because i'm out of knoxville i have to connect everywhere and i have to get off that thing as quick as i can but i'm just amazed at how people just mull over women in line when you're going in line to get on the plane and it's your number's been called if you're in group one group two whatever it is people just go right in front of you you're standing there you know i'm not an aggressive person i think that's rude i know that you men don't have to always let women go first but but i'm just i'm in line and people go ahead of me i think they should get in there i let women go first but but i'm just i'm in line and people go ahead of me i think they should get in there i let women go first yeah i think they should i think that's sweet and yeah

yeah and i know we're not talking about this right now but just for later i don't think men ought to cuss in front of women okay let's go back to airplanes yeah yeah but i do think unless she cusses first then it's all bets are off right yeah yeah if she gives you a cussing first but i do i think people are so quick to that they just bring like suitcases down almost knock in the hand i mean i'm just trying to you know stay cool and let everybody get off i think people are just such in a hurry people don't look at people as humans have to like that's. It's just like we're not all a person. And so it's just like I'm trying to get out of this situation, and they just grab the stuff and they go.

But even if I see someone being where they're going to be trying to force someone through, sometimes you just let that person be that person. And you just let them go, and then you don't have to deal with it. Some people act like they're in cars when they're just walking with people yeah you know what i mean you know like uh in personal you are with the car next to you yeah they're like that with just standing next to somebody and you have to think that they're that they're going through life like that, that makes it easier. It just everything's, yeah. I mean, you know, you used to wear a suit to fly on an airplane

because it was just such a new thing that it was like crazy that you were even getting to go. And now it's just such an obtainable thing that, you know, it's not that exciting. Kids are just, they're flying their babies in their own planes. you know you like never i didn't fly we flew one time when i was five for a funeral that i barely remember it's not even a fun trip it's never yeah it's always something like we had to uh but that was it and then i didn't fly again until you know probably But that was it.

And then I didn't fly again until, you know, probably my senior year in high school. Like, it never flew. That's crazy. You know, like, it is kind of crazy to think how much you fly now. To be like, you just go, flew once from being born to senior year in high school. I think what's rude on an airplane is when they say you are connecting and people have got flights to get to and they say, if you don't have anywhere else to go, can you let the people go that need to catch these?

Because I'm always one of those people trying to. And people won't let people. You can just tell they don't do it. They get up, stand, look at their watch. And people have got little babies or whatever trying to get somewhere to get to another flight and everybody's out of shape can't get there everybody's running i feel like they gotta that's the airline has to be more direct there's no one no one's direct anymore so they kind of vaguely say this kind of thing where you can't tell well who needs to get like they need to go all right who's connecting raise your hand and then you know you gotta kind of talk to people like that and they're like all right

let these people go because their flights are not going to make it the rest of you just let them go through and then if someone doesn't want to do that like you can clearly see that person's a maniac but you have to be uh more direct they're not direct direct. What about reclining your chair? It worries me. It makes me feel bad. If I do it, I barely do it. I don't go all the way back and then somebody

can't even put their laptop on. I can't stand that. But in a long flight, when you have to sleep or something, I try not to go all the way. Cause I think that just is, you know, so hard on the people behind you. It worries me. Yeah. I, I, I, I, but I think you're allowed to do whatever the chair does,

but I don't, yeah, I don't do it cause I'm uncomfortable with it, but I'm annoyed that I have to feel uncomfortable with it. I think you should be allowed to do what the chair, the chair does what the chair they put where have to feel uncomfortable with it. I think you should be allowed to do what the chair does. They put where they're going to stop it. And I think the person behind you is insane for being like, you're not allowed to do that. I think just have a conversation with the person behind you. That's also crazy, too.

But what is it about? Yeah, I'm going to lean. Is that cool? You know what I mean? Just have a little moment with them. You could have a bounce where you maybe don't go all the way back. But it's just like, if someone leans back into my space, that's what their chair does.

So they're not breaking the chair to try to do this. They're not doing anything like that. You know what? If I go back in my chair, then I have the same amount of room. Yeah, and then it messes up the person behind you, and then the whole plane's going to do it. I'm saying just don't slam it back into me and not even acknowledge that I'm back there.

Like, look around and go, just give me a look. I don't think people owe people. You know, it's like, we're not owed any of this stuff. You're not owed everybody dressing up at the hotel lobby. I don't ask for it. Well, yeah, I mean... I think they should. That's all I'm saying.

No, you think you're owed it. Because you go, yeah, 32 on his ACT walks in. Because I don't even need... I could fly this plane if I wanted to.

This travel etiquette person said you should do what Aaron just said. Before you lean back, look back at the person and see if they have their laptop or their food or their table open to say hey you can ruin somebody's lunch now that's what i do i don't really lean back because i feel uncomfortable

but i would never go all the way back but i'll go i'm not really comfortable if you had your lunch set up and then the it just slammed into you spilled your lunch you just go ah it's what the chair does i i just think you have a little bit of righteous anger there. Ooh. And I think it's righteous anger. What does that mean? I think you have a right to be annoyed about that. Oh.

Yeah. I don't know. I don't. I feel like that's, it doesn't. You would just go, oh. I would just be like. Such is the world world i would have learned no i would learn to not to not do that i would i mean i would be i'd be watching i watch them

too like i'm too aware of like so if i feel like they're about to do something then i'm like already kind of prepared for it okay and like i'm just i'm just basically like i'm very like uh what is it like self like i'm just like i'll control me and then i'll like i can't you know it's like that guy it's not he can everyone's leaning back he's allowed to lean them back so i just got to be ready for whatever that gets i see it's very polite and nice i do it i would lean back you gotta lean back and you're like sorry yeah and then you yes you do that's that's the that would be the way you're you're right that's the way you should do it yeah it's nice to do it that way but i don't think they have to do that i mean if they don't

i don't i'm not like mad at them for doing that i'm like that guy just does it that way it's on me to fix if i want to be comfortable i think everything's on me if fix. If I want to be comfortable, I think everything's on me. If I want to be, if I don't want to sit in the back of the plane, that's on me. That's no one else's fault. If I don't want it where I want to sit, what I want to do, that's all on me. So you don't get like, and that's how I've always thought.

Like if you're flying on a plane, like I'm sitting in the middle of flying to Kuwait, that's how I've always thought like flying on a plane like I'm sitting in the middle flying to Kuwait that's that's on me that's not on you know you know and a guy and that one a guy I put my seat back and a guy hit it in the back it's very frustrating but if I don't want to deal with that then I have to get out of the situation where I'm not going to have to deal with that and then you know and you just kind of and that's what like that's where my half my goals are just yeah not even career goals their goal is to go i don't want to sit in that middle seat yeah in the back yeah because i how do i get out of this seat and then i just my goals are to work to i don't know how do i get off this corner barking for the show it's always been that like i don't because i think i don't like this well i

don't want to live in the world of frustration and yell at this guy and have to be like, everybody needs to do exactly what I think they need to do. Look, and I think that a lot. I know that I think everybody should do what I think they should do. I'm not saying I don't have those feelings. I have those feelings. I have all those thoughts. But I just try to go while being in control.

I always thought that with everything. Like it was, you know, I never liked splitting checks. I was always embarrassed by it. I didn't like it. And you do it and you got to split it because I waited tables and I don't know if it matters. I never cared if someone split checks when I was waiting tables. But if I feel like the person's gonna be mad they're doing it i always just was like i want to i don't want to split

checks i don't want to ask anybody for anything i just want one of them was i want when we go out to eat i will pay for the table and then that's all i wanted to do was like just let me get to like what's the easiest it's control yeah but it's the easiest that i just need to get to the point that we go out to eat i pay for it i don't even need a big thank you i don't need all this i just want to be like we're not talking about it i don't want to deal with it i don't want to go you know talk about money or any of that stuff you're you know i feel like you just we just talked about money your whole life is just yeah you don't have any money you don't have anything you don't do you know and so you're just like i just want to go

here i'll pay for it let's be done and i think because you waited tables because i did too at applebee's which i just remembered you're in my book talking about how. Am I? Uh-huh, because you waited tables at Applebee's. Yeah. And I did too. Weren't you at the Bearden store in Knoxville? Did you ever work up there? I did for a second. Okay.

Yeah. Okay, good, because that's factual. Oh, good. It's in my book. Yeah. But anyway, I think when you've waited tables, you don't want somebody to have to split and do, you know. Yeah.

And I feel that way too. I want to be the least problem. So like I – and I don't mind someone being a problem because then there's a weird thing. It's like you're – I want to be the least problem. And so even if they are a problem, I don't want them to feel like a problem to me. Yeah. So then – because that means – because if I act like they're a problem, I don't want them to feel like a problem to me. Yeah. So then, because that means, because if I act like they're a problem to me, then I'm now a problem.

Yeah. So I need to be the least unnoticed. And whatever it is, you're just kind of like, I'll do whatever you want to make this go. Have you all ever been at a lunch or a dinner when you're with somebody who's being a nightmare or super rude to the server and like how do you handle that i would how i think how i would handle it is i would take i would pay for the whole meal and say i got this and i would probably just order more and i would make that i'd probably order i'd take the ordering out of that person's hands and i would just say bring a lot for the table bring a lot of this i mean i used to always uh i mean when i first go on the road and like i remember big j they would be like they get appetizers and they're like uh yeah just get like five

appetizers bring us whatever and i was like man that's crazy because it was it was you know we grew up we weren't we had water we're allowed to get soda because it was it cost two three dollars and like you know and not mad about this just what no one had money so does how they get you We had water. We weren't allowed to get soda because it cost $3. And not mad about it. This is just what – no one had money. Soda is how they get you. Yeah. That's what I doubt. Yeah, so they go, so we'd have a water.

You'd eat a kid's meal. You're eating somewhere where kids eat free. It's like everything was so money conscious to be that. I think I always – I just want to to i don't want to i don't the decisions i don't want to have a 500 decisions at a table that we're just trying to eat like you know now when we go on the road travis a lot of times it's like just order stuff for everybody and i love it because it's just like just have it out there order order it. We pay for it. We get up. We leave. And it's like no one's having to go.

I don't want anybody worried and being like, I don't know. I can afford to eat at this restaurant or that or this or that. I just want to, I don't know. I just want, you know. One of the best decisions I think you ever made was when you got a Helix mattress. Oh, yeah. I love her Helix sleep uh i love the pillows i mean i love it all but i've been using their pillows we switched to helix about three years ago took sleep quiz uh it's great we liked it we got it one of our guest

room a lot of comics have they've all stayed on it and uh the best part of helix there's no better way to test out a new mattress than by sleeping it in your own home they offer a hundred night trial i feel like people used to not i don't know that's such a good you get a hundred nights with the it's a really i know because you're but it's but it's hard to pick out a good matrix yeah you go lay down for two seconds and you're like, yeah. Helix Lineup offers 20 unique mattresses, including their award-winning Luxe and Ultra Premium Elite collections. They have a Helix Kids mattress designed for growing bodies,

endorsed by child sleep experts. Yeah. I know. Kids are good. They got it so easy. Helix is offering up to 25% off all mattress orders. That's a lot. And two free pillows for our listeners.

Go to helixsleep.com slash nate. That is helixsleep.com slash nate. This is their best offer yet, and it will not last long. With Helix, better sleep starts now. Just a couple more airplane ones that this etiquette coach said. If you're in the middle seat, you get access to both armrests.

Yeah, I agree with that. Oh, okay. I've always, I've always, I've always tried to do that. Felt that way. And then the airplane, if you're in the window seat, the shade, you should consult with your fellow people in your row as far as I don't know that I feel

uncomfortable because you're like and I gotta you know it just some of it just feels like what are we doing like so now I gotta sit down and talk to everybody and be like hey do you guys mind if I open or now if it's like super bright and maybe people are sleeping, yes, I could understand that. But in general, when it's like, you know, it's the middle of the day and you're flying, it's like, you know, don't do it. You just do what the plane's doing. That's what I – you do what everybody's doing.

Again, try to be unnoticed. Try to be – I don't want to – you don't even know i was even in this world that's how that's how you should be low footprint low footprint uh tipping that's obviously a big thing now as far as everywhere tipping the screen it says it's okay to change it to custom tipping because when they flip it around it's usually going to be what 20 22 25 or 15 20 something like that 15 18 20 and they'll usually have it set on 20 oh often yeah so you would have to go on but it says you can also custom tip and that's that's okay etiquette yeah they're well they're yeah tipping there's a uh i thought there's a story recently in a paper about tipping like our tipping is because in tipping in america is

really getting out of control i think people are you know And people are – you know, it's like, all right, like, this is insanity. I mean, it's 20%, 25%, 30%. I mean, it's stupid. And in Knoxville, Tennessee, where you and Phil Fulmer are the two celebrities, you're under a microscope, Leanne. So if you don't tip right, word's going to get out. Right? I didn't think of me and Phil being that.

You're the Knoxville Tribune. There you go. Yeah. Well, I love Phil Fulmer. You know, I rode on a plane with him one time, and he told me secrets about the University of Tennessee and coaching decisions. And honest to goodness, y'all, I forgot them.

And Chuck Morgan wanted to know what they were, and I felt terrible. I go, I don't remember what he's saying. I remember a little bit about Lane Kiffin. Oh, yeah. But I have also talked about Lane Kiffin all over the United States when I needed a good quick SEC football joke. Yeah, yeah. And I have since apologized in person, I mean, not in person,

in crowds and said, if anybody knows Lane, because I think he's trying to do better. Yeah, yeah. He went through a cleanse. He did, yeah. Working for Nick Saban for a few years. Yeah, yeah. And he's doing well, I think, you know. Probably still a player, if you know what I mean.

Joey Freshwater. That's a great name. As far as tipping, Cash, it still says servers. Probably prefer cash. They don't have to put it on the books if they don't want. Venmo's fine, but don't be yelling across a bar, hey, what's your Venmo, and holding everybody up. That's rude to everybody.

I never have cash. I have cash. You do? You carry it all the time? I think women don't. Does Laura time I think women don't Does Laura I think women don't No We never have any money

No no yeah Yeah I just Yeah It's for tipping Here's one that You guys probably have to Deal with a lot

That they say is rude Don't ever go up to someone And say Do you remember me Do you remember where we met Oh yeah it's crazy Unless it's crazy. Unless it's obvious, go up and reintroduce yourself.

Say, hey, I'm so-and-so. We met in so-and-so. Don't put that person on the spot. Do you remember me? Because then you feel bad. Yes, and I've read that before. When you can't remember their name, too, that's a good way to go. I'm Leigh-Anne Morgan.

And they go, oh, yeah, Leigh-Anne, I'mne i'm so and so the real move is to bring in a third if we can't remember somebody's name you bring in a third person hi this is my friend brian and then y'all introduce and then i got your name yeah it's brutal though when they go like hey nice to meet you brian and then they just get going i can't remember people's names I'm terrible at it Yeah So I say Well you see so many people

Out of context We see them It's just You don't know where you see them And it's just out of nowhere You're like You know What's going on

Leigh Ann I got some Book signing etiquette for you This is mostly for your people So when they come to your book signing Only bring the book If it's an autograph signing thing Don't bring a bunch of memorabilia This is mostly for your people. So when they come to your book signing, only bring the book. If it's an autograph signing thing, don't bring a bunch of memorabilia and hold up the line with you signing multiple things. What about signing your body?

Is that tactless? Didn't mention it, but I'm going to say yes. Okay. It said if you have an unusual name, especially, write out your name on a post-it note and put it there on the book so the author doesn't have to say, now, how do you spell that? Oh, that makes sense. And don't, are you doing a Q&A? I will in two of the stops. It said, don't, this is, again, for the people.

Is it the other one you refuse to talk to? Yeah. Mount Juliet. Mount Juliet. Leanne. You're already too big for mount juliet no and i want to talk to everybody i just don't know if that the other the big ones where i do have a moderator is at big churches yeah because they didn't want to confuse people thinking i was

going to do a show in a theater yeah so they're having them in huge churches and then the other ones are like at books a million or barnes Noble and that kind of thing. What if you tell the moderator and he asks you a question and you go, I don't want to talk? Next question. None of your business. None of your business. Yeah. Well, I said, ask an actual question. Don't go on a rambling long comment that has no question at the end.

That's what people tend to do. They just want to make a statement. They just want to talk to you. Yeah. Yeah. And then they might end it with, what do you think? Yeah. You know what?

I, I was thinking never, never go. We'll get to that later. I never liked when someone says that. I don't like it in an act. Well, I don't like,

I don't like it in an act. I don't like it in anything. When someone's, uh, you know, brings up something like, I was at the store the other day. Don't worry.

We'll get to that later. You're like, how long is this going to, it makes me just immediately think how long is this gonna be that when are you gonna get to that like is it like 45 minutes later and that like now i think about time i wasn't thinking of time and now i think about i wasn't thinking about how long the story was gonna be yeah until you're you're putting bookmarks in this. Yeah, yeah. You can call attention to something because if you're going to reference it later, you can do that in a more... You can do it in a way that's not... In a more tactful way, yeah.

Yeah, it's just a way that makes it... Yeah, you could say... Yeah, I don't know. There's ways to say it. I actually thought of a joke. I thought of something and I thought of it saying the thing that I don't like. And then I was like, well, I don't know. There's ways to say it. I actually thought of a joke. I thought of something, and I thought of it saying the thing that I don't like. And then I was like, well, I don't like that. So then I had to figure out another way to do it.

You stuck to your guns, though. You didn't break your rule. What? Oh, yeah. Well, you're just saying if you didn't like the way you said it. Yeah, I don't like it, so I don't want to do it. Yeah. TV and radio appearance.

This is near and dear to me because i've been on both sides working in local television uh arrive on time i definitely had people that showed up it's one thing if you you're making the rounds you just get behind but i've had guests show up because they were on the golf course and got there late dress appropriate when i worked in tv news we had comics show up just in shorts and you know well comics are crazy because they they yeah they're they're nobody you're like they there's a flip where you go who's doing who the favor exactly yeah yeah and you're like that's when it you know you're absolutely right because sometimes they would reach out to the tv station they're nobody we're doing them a favor and then a lot of times if they're big enough they're doing us a favor

by coming on the tv so it says do your research i definitely um you know i would go out on the road with henry cho and they wouldn't know how to say his last name is it henry chow oh that's the first for yeah i i had that happens as you imagine Henry took that well yeah that happens all the time I mean not it's less and less but it's

last year would have been you can just tell you on the radio what's your act about and then you're like I don't know I tell stories we talked about when you made cracked

had a list of the best sketches from last year and it was and you were I think George Washington's sketch was number one

you're number one on the list and it said Nick Bargetzi yeah so you're like alright even if you're number one

on the list you're still gonna get cause there's just too many cause we're all nobody. There's not enough people that want to work. So these people find these tricks and jobs, and that's kind of what it is. And so they're like, that person's a writer on a thing.

And they're just like, I've got to put this together. And the professionalism, it's gone. Well, I've got a lot of flaws. I really do. But I would not make a TV station Wait on me I would die before I do that I've always been on time with that kind of thing

Knowing that it starts at a certain time And it's going to keep You're going to ruin the whole What are people animals? I would not do that And I saw a video A comic recently on a local tv station and he was saying shocking things just to get a shock out of it and for my tv days that drives me crazy because it's just bad

for why would you ever want to have a comic on again if they're going to say something disrespectful yeah that's just and they kind of stopped in san antonio when i was coming And they kind of stopped. In San Antonio, when I was coming up, they kind of stopped having comics on locally there because people said, crazy mess. Yeah. So I think there was a time in radio, they were like, well, you're not going to get on here and say the word? They're like, no.

Yeah. You mess it up for the next guy. They think we're wild cards. That's right. A lot of us are. There are a lot of wild cards in the comedy business. I think we're wild cards. That's right. A lot of us are. There are a lot of wild cards in the comedy business. I think we're about wrapped up. You're being etiquette to Leanne's time.

That's true. And I want y'all to know that I tip like drivers, and I want everybody knowing, the people that take my luggage up and all that, but somebody else hands the money. My baby, my baby child does. She takes care. She gets cash for where we go.

So you can give them quarters? No, I promise it's not. I promise it's not. But I don't have cash. As the door shuts, you go, you gave them quarters again? And it's all an act. But I waited tables for years. I really did not think about giving cash so they didn't have to report that.

I feel like dirt ball. No, I think you do it on a credit card. It doesn't... You still like it. You're like, I'm not involved in your tax career. Yeah. Like, you're...

It's a tip's a tip. I'm not, you know, we're not... Whatever. All right. Yeah. Well, that was great. I don't know where I'm at, but...

I've got to have a list of all the discounts y'all are getting because I need an aura thing. I need to take a quiz on a mattress. And I need some creatine. Did your book come out? September the 24th. What in the world?
