We were laughing this morning because we caught a quote from you. Spencer and I, we caught a quote from you where you said Larry makes the money. That's right. Larry makes the money and I spend the money. Thank you Larry. You're welcome. You're welcome. Tell everybody what we're at right now. We are in my sweet box, by the way, the best sweet box in the stadium. For the University of Nebraska, taking on Maryland, we're about to go five and 0 for the first time in like 12 years. Trying to build us back in the great program that we once were that you know and love from the 70s, 80s and 90s. So, yeah, so we're doing the show from my sweet box.

4:10Homecoming. Homecoming. Homecoming. That's right. Yeah, it's homecoming too. We might be crowd king or queen. That's so excited. You're going to meet someone in a moment and I was trying to, I asked her to sell me out of the game. Right. And she did a great job. She laid out this whole epic story about how you guys haven't won anything in decades. We've had a rough time. Now you've got four. If you win today, it's five in a row. And she made it seem like the most important game that could possibly happen. Even though it's not that important of a game. You just want us to pull out of this slump so bad. So we're like, oh my gosh, we can be five and 0. And then in the back of your head, it's like the last nine, 10 years anyway, 2016. We had a good year, but you're like, oh my gosh, is this really how we really playing this well or is this a fluke? Are we going to blow it all this week? In the back of every Nebraska's head, it's like, even if it's 24 to three, say we got a 21 point lead with five minutes left in the game. Still in the back of your head.

5:11We're going to blow it. It's never over to that whistle goes, you know? So anyway, that's a big, a big deal. I appreciate you coming here to do the, do it. Oh, great. I thought this would be a great thing. Because better than I was saying, he's like actual football fan. I know all the rules, special place to be. It is. It's one of the, it's iconic here. Absolutely. He grew up, he grew up one state off. We're out South Dakota, just like 30 minutes from the Nebraska border. We got a lot of good players from South Dakota. I got no problem with South Dakota. Good. Here's how we got to start. I don't know why South Dakota calls us names. We don't call them names. I know. I know. I wasn't sure if you guys were aware that in South Dakota, we'd call you sand lizards. Yeah. Because if you're in fear of your soil, is that something you were aware of that you're a sand lizard? I've never really looked at people's soil enough to make fun of them. That's why you're in Nebraska. That's a South Dakota. That's a sand lizard thing. I understand there's not a lot to do in South Dakota. I know.

6:11When you're talking about your soils and fear, that's kind of, I don't, that's not really a burn. You're right. That's a reflection on us. We need to work on that geological observation and like a character. Yes. I'm not offended by it. Okay. Being a football game, we got to start with something. Now, we've been engaged in this very long process that you haven't been involved in of trying to find a way to make. This might seem trivial, but hear me out. Trying to find a way to make a regular normal hot dog. Right. With deer meat. Peeler eyes passing off. Venison hot dogs and you eat and you're like, it's just not a hot dog. You made a sausage. Look at the AI hot dog. It's not good. So we teamed up with, we were able to send, come on over, Layla. This is Layla, everybody. This is Layla, Benzor from the Laughful Meat Lab here at University of Nebraska. Go big red. Go big red. Yeah, that's right. So she is a meat scientist here at this very university.

7:13Meat scientist. That's right. So she is hot dogs. Can I ask her something? Ask her everything. When you were little, did people come up here with, so Layla, what do you want to be when you go up? Meat scientist. That's right. That's how. You know, I've been... What age did you realize you're calling? Oh, man. You know, when I was like little, we used to, you know, process hogs in our garage for Christmas. Oh, we could. Yeah. That was kind of my first meat thing. I didn't know I wanted to be a meat scientist then. I thought I was going to be a horse stutter and then I went to college and that didn't go well. Yeah. So switched over to meat science. So I guess I was about 20 or so. I was a little bit, that 20 to 22 age ranges a little blurry. So. Yeah. How about the time I? Did you grew up on paint farm? Not exactly. So I grew up in North Texas, but I'm Hispanic and it's really traditional for us to slaughter hog around Christmas time. Right. But tomorrow is a nut kind of stuff. Yeah. So yeah, we, you know, we processed our own meat at home and then it kind of just felt really natural when I went to college and just as an officer.

8:18I already say hot dog is Spanish. San Chicha. Tell me again. San Chicha. Okay. I mean, it's common now. It's common. And then so we sent the deer meat down. Wouldn't it be free of peril? Hot dog. Perro caliente. Huh? Perro caliente. Perro caliente. I mean cold dog. Yeah, cold dogs. I can do it. I speak a little Spanish. I'm catching that. It's good. You're the most Spanish only movie poquito in La Squilla. Okay. Well, you were just catching it, weren't you? I'm good here. I got one. Yep. This is me. Yeah. You know, the yell at you when you're like a hot dog is only most known. I knew all that. I thought about that. I thought about when you asked you what I wanted on it, I didn't want to insult your like insult you by doing the ketchup thing. I thought maybe you were a snob. But then you told me you've also early on had an interest in research and hot dogs. You said it's like a it's like a poor people's food. Yeah. And there's not a lot of research into food that that that is would be like lower economical, lower economic class foods.

9:21Yeah, exactly. Who might have tell you what you want? You put on the. You put on the. You read the hot dogs as much as they want. Yes. Exactly. Exactly. And they want. Okay. So this is a genuine. This is a university in Nebraska. Yep. And then you can see the whole meat lab. With just regular hunter killed deer meat. Yeah. Dragged out of the woods for real. 100% yeah. Dragged out of the woods. This could be the answer. My boy shot this. For real. Listen. Am I dry? Mm hmm. I go. I can say already you did the impossible. You made a regular hot dog. Mm hmm. The taste is there. The texture is there. Mm hmm. You wouldn't know it's deer. No, but you would know. It's got a hearty flavor. It's got not a regular hot dog weena flavor. It's a little. It is. It is.

10:21Yeah. It's kind of smoky. It's like a smoky taste. Yeah. We. So I made these very artisanally in our research kitchen. Which is just a really like a restaurant style kitchen. But with things that you could do that you could use at home. And I smoked these at my house in my personal smoker. So that's a that's a con wood. You're you're tasting there. Really, but it's got the snap. Yep. And actually when I made hot when I made deer meat hot dogs in the past, you could bend them over. That's right. You can fold them like a clothes like a like a paperclip. It looked like a meditation crab stick. They never broke. They never broke. You could tie it knots. Oh, this is got snap. What percentage pork are these? Oh, these are about, I believe, 15% fat. Okay. That's like a winning percentage too. It's not like this is a pork hot dog. Yeah, it's pretty low in fat and water. It's very very protein heavy. You know, I play golf at George Lopez one time. Oh, I believe he said that he smoked stuff in his house as well. Yeah. We love our stuff.

11:22We're going to meet with, man, this is I like. No, it's great. And we're going to meet what we're meeting very early to make hot dogs. Yes. Yeah. Broad and early. Seven a.m. You know, hot dog making seven a.m. To my university, Nebraska. That's right. Well, I lay on thanks for bringing it out. Yeah, but I was like, you like you won. It's got the snap. Yeah. It's got the taste. It is possible to make a normal deer meat hot dog. It is possible. It's not easy. No, it is possible. No, but it is good. I like it. No, I think it's great. No, it brings me into this kind of this. This reminds me of one of my only favorite jokes I ever wrote. Please. It's my wife's favorite joke. And lately, you remind me of this. I used to do a joke about my sister. There's the strangest job on the planet. She's a hot dog whisperer. Okay. And I didn't know what it was. So I said, what is a hot dog whisperer? And he said, give me a hot dog. I'll show you. She goes.

12:25That's a good hot dog. You're good. That's good. That's one of my all-time favorite jokes I ever wrote. And does that joke kill? Does the audience go crazy for that one? It's a huge love. Yeah, yeah. Can I tell you my favorite, Larry the Cable Guy joke? Yeah. We'll see if you remember it. It's about your wife taking last name. Do you remember this joke? Yeah. Well, so Steve and I, we both married women who did not take our last name. So we can tell Steve the joke. Yeah, I was feeling embarrassed. So he can really be. Can enjoy it. This is really good. I don't think it was my favorite joke when I was a kid, but when I got older, I was like, you came to appreciate it. That's my favorite. I love this girl. He's going to get married. But she didn't work with me. And I'm like, what are you going to take to my name? But besides that, I think you'd be cool both of his name, Larry. I love that. I love that. I got it. I got it.

13:25I got it. You were mentioning it. That's a good joke. That's a very good joke. That's a good one. My favorite. See, now that we're getting into this, I think my favorite joke years was this is the old one, but you were talking, you were explaining how dear. A lot of people don't know that dear, like the Kardashians get a new rack every year. Yeah. Get a new rack every year. And then when I hunt, I dress an orange and stand by the highway. They think of a roadcoaster. They think of a roadcoaster. They think of a roadcoaster. How we got on to, I want to tell you how I want to tell you something Jeff Foxworthy said about you. And this is a Jeff, Jeff got him Jeff Foxworthy. Just a kind of a, you know, he's kind of a niche, a niche, a niche little known comedian named Jeff Foxworthy. He, this is kind of the genesis of me wanting to talk to you. Jeff Foxworthy was talking about you and we're kind of talking about deer hunting and everything. But after we got done, Jeff Foxworthy was saying how his friend Dan has golfed at that time.

14:30He said, my friend Dan is golfed 20 years. And he says, and in that 20 years, he is no better than the first time we golfed. First of all. I didn't know that I soon realized you saw him about you. First of all, I've only been golfing for 16 years. Okay. That's a good correction. But Jeff is pretty close to that. I tell everybody I go, my handicap is improved five point five strokes. And it's only cost me three and a half million dollars. Confidence was straight. You don't want to flattet. You keep doing it. I love it. Do you like about it? It's just, I love it. It's relaxing. And when you get older, it's the only sport where you can actually still hit play and have a shot like a professional can do.

15:31You know what I mean? You can still make a long putt like a pro does. Got it. You can have the best putter in the world out there. And if you're both hitting 20 foot pots and you're a good putter, you can hit them just as good as he can. I mean, he'll probably make more. But you know what I mean? You can compete. Got it. Every now and then you'll be 145 yards out. You'll take your nine-eye and you'll drop it three feet from the pin. That's what pros do. You can't do that anywhere else. I can't play football anymore. I can't play basketball anymore. No. I can't stand it. I love baseball. That's my favorite sport. I can't get down on a ground ball anymore. I played in a celebrity softball tournament and I took my first swing and I'm not kidding. I mean, my energy was coming out of my eye and then. I was like, oh my gosh. Why is my butt burning? What did I just do? You know what? I'll just coach. You know, and I loved it. I love playing baseball and I love playing league softball. I can't do it. I used to hate golf. I used to hate it.

16:31But I'm getting a little better. You know, I got a simulator, about a simulator. And I had to let five people play through. Steve's not going to get that joke. A lot of our audience will, but Steve, I do. I do a lot of celebrity. You do a celebrity trimmer's charity, all per charity. Which is fun. So I'm doing something I like raising money. I mean, I get five charity tournaments. Oh, four. I was going to do five. One was for the Make a Wish foundation and their wish was for me not to participate this year. So I wanted to make the kids happy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, one of my all-time favorites is another. I got to tell you this joke. This is one of my all-time favorite. This is really stupid. I just joke about. I just joke about. I was in this golf tournament. I was in this golf tournament in Las Vegas. And we get done. I'm in the lobby of the hotel. And here it comes Henry Winkler from Happy Days.

17:32I went to borrow $500. And I'm thinking, well, here, then, I'm Henry Winkler. Why you need five bucks? And he's like, why I don't want to run up stairs? You got my money. Larry, I swear, I'll give you $500. And I'll meet you here in an hour. And I'll give you $2,000. They're like, all right. So I give Henry Winkler $500. I haven't seen Henry Winkler in 30 years since then. You know? So I got the research. Turns out I got caught up in a Fonzie scheme. See, that's what brings in the big dollars. That kind of humor. He's a fisherman. I don't even know that. Fonzie? Yeah, Fonzie is a fisherman. He's just like, I guess the fish come up. Yeah. He's a fisherman. So, the day he's one of the nicest guys in the business. I'd love to meet him. He seems like a nice guy. Dan, I know something that you could spend Larry's money on. I'm guessing you've seen that you can buy a urinal from the old stadium.

18:33Where are you going to do it? No. I don't think $3,000. I know. I don't think I remember them urinals. You use those urinals. I did. I think first game I ever came, I sat right over there with a friend of mine. And it was Oklahoma game. We won. I remember Jerry Gadaski was quarterback. That's the thing about Nebraska fans. You remember every game. Every game. I don't remember a lot about dates or marriage details. But I know where I was sitting. My first game. You were sitting right over there. And I did use the urinal. Yes. They're disgusting. And I don't want that in my head if it's sitting. I mean, where would I even put it? I don't know. Come on. When you show you my memory, there's so many everybody peed. They have a lot of recommendations. They say you could fill it with flowers. That's the thing. You could make it a centerpiece in your garage. It's porcelain. Really call it an animal. Turn it into outdoor decor. They got a lot of recommendations on how you can go. Yeah, you could do a planter out of it. Yes.

19:33Matter of fact, I think there was some moss growing in it when it was here. That's what it was. They looked like it. They looked like it. I think there was already stuff growing in it. Yeah. Dana, I read it in a 2014 interview. It's a lie. Okay. We'll find out. You said you'd rather bass fish than deer hunt any day of the week. Yeah. You know what? I grew up. I grew up. I look. I did nothing to get. I love hunting. I love to go down south. Here we go. Dutwee, shoot dubs, birds. I love bird hunting. I love shooting critters. You know, coyotes. Possums. You know. Deer hunt. I just meant. I don't want to sit in a tree stand freezing all night. You know. I just never been into that. I grew up on a farm raising pigs and a whole deal. So when I grew up, it was all about fishing. I even when I was a kid, I went fishing all the time. And so, you know, I just grew up with that. Now, do I hunt? Yeah. I'm going hunting. Jeff always invites me. God bless Jeff. I love Jeff always invites me.

20:33Hey, if you get an invitation, I know. I know. Yeah. I'll be going and doing that. Hey, you ought to go. I want to go with this. We're going to fly into Canada. And then they're going to drop us off. We're going to get on horseback. And we're going to hunt blah, blah, blah for 10 days. I'll be honest. I just got off the road. I don't want to go flying in Canada and sitting on a horse and sitting on a cabin. Jeff likes it, which I love. And then he does like it. I'm glad people do. So you give me, you give me that. You give me that right. All that. I don't know what I got. What is this? For you people just listening. He is pantomiming. He is pantomiming. Hooking into a huge mess. Oh, yeah, you're not. Yeah, you're right. You guys, I forgot. This isn't like. Yeah. So good percentage of the viewers will see it. But the other ones, they need to know that he just hooked a giant. I love, I love bass fishing. You know, they jump out of the water. They grab. That was when you do the top water and they pop. There's just something about it. And I love fishing. And that's not that I got hunt all you want.

21:36You know, I'm just, I'd much rather do that. I'm just a little bit angler. Yeah, I just never, you know, Jeff, when we were on tour all the time, look, I was on, I was gone all the time. I lived on a tour bus, me, my wife, then we had kids. So I lived on a tour bus. I was, we did 276 days a year out on a tour bus. So when I would get home and I would have 10 days off. The last thing I was going to do was go, no. No, I like what Jeff does. Now, I like going out. We got targets. I get my kid loves the hunt. So it go out and you know, take a bow and shoot. We used to do it on tour. And we take our bows and Jeff and me and Bill Rodney shoot stuff, you know, out in the targets in the back. That was Jeff's idea. That ended real quick. When one of us missed hit the cement wall and then started flying around the green room. Is I maybe we better not bring a bows anymore on tour. Yeah. And so, yeah, bass fishing is, I do like that.

22:36I also read, if I had to pick, yeah, I also read in your bio. Do you know this? You were born in the back of an El Camino. Who came up with that detail? It was actually a Chevy. I was a, a Corvair. Oh, pick up. Okay. Is my parents read some concert on what it was. This is real. And dad didn't want to go. She's like, my water broke. I got it. They got to get, they're going to do an encore. You know, so. No, actually, no, that's not true. I made a lot of. I used to say I was a, that was the original joke. Okay. The original joke. The original joke was from my bio. I wrote a long time ago. I say, hey, he was born in the back. Read of it. You know, the original joke to that was I was born in, I was a C section. Baby. Oh, I was born in section C. It's a Leonard Skinner concert.

23:38That was my original. The original joke. That's better. In military family service is more than a job. It's a legacy.

That makes you want to jump something on to ask you about, man. I was reading this might not be true either. I'm Wikipedia. I'm Wikipedia. Someone got in there on Wikipedia, rightly or wrongly, and it says that you are, that you like identify as an aryo speed wagon fan. Yes. There are very, very few of us left alive. There's a lot of us because they still, they until they broke up recently. They packed it out. It's really, they were one of the few bands that was still pretty much together from the early 80s. They look even though they lost Gary Rich after guitar player, the drummer retired. But right after the big, you know, the big hits, the album, the, what was the one, you, well, the last stuff they did that got got notoriety. Remember that video? You mess around that like Astral, whatever that thing is, like that little electric ball

26:46would be close. I don't know what that is. I think it touched the outside and it's like the light shurmer. Was that, I can't fight this. Okay. That was a big hit. But a high infidelity right after that is when they got a new guitar player. So for the last 45 years, it's been the same band right after pretty much that. So they would pack it out everywhere and Bruce Hall was the original guy that I met. But the bass player that had been there since the late 70s. So Bruce had a really good buddy. He plays my golf tournament all the time. I love him today. Oh, real life. So you got like the inside perspective? Yes. So they would all come and he would get everybody out there to play my golf tournament. The only one didn't play was Kevin. Kevin didn't really golf. So Kevin never came out. But I would go to their concerts and I used to have, when I was on tour, I used to have an air guitar band called Air Disaster. So we put on, we put on wigs. We put on long hair wigs. I had them go to the pawn shop and bought three books, two guitars, a drum set and we put

27:50the padding on it so you couldn't really hear you play about your plane. And we would play 12 hard rock metal songs on stage. That's what we would do. And so Bruce knew I did that. So I went the first time I went and did something with it was a, it was a, for tornado victims in Illinois. So we did a benefit. There's a bunch of people there. Nugents, air and speed wagon, sticks and a head east and Richard Marks. Head east, I think. Yeah. Wow. Got him. And he's throwing back. So I went up and played, rolled with the changes and air guitar and the guitar solo. And everybody thought I was playing. I thought their camera's out and I'm up there. Wow. And the guitar player Dave, David Mato, he's over there. He's really playing it up in front. Not even playing. I did that like four or five times with him. It was great. But here's the coolest story. Can I tell you this? Please. Yeah. It's just how awesome they were. My dad had a band. My dad did all culture.

28:51He was a guidance counselor. He was a pastor of two churches. He was a farm. He had really a cattle and horses. I did the pigs. But on the weekends he had a band. He was going to band called the Memphis Beats. And my dad had been playing guitar since he was a kid. Learned it himself. But my dad had a night as it has. He gave it to me since he's passed. A 1953 Fender Telecaster. I mean, it's like, you know, this is how cool guitar is. I remember I wanted to get it refurbished four or one time because I didn't know. You know, I'm not a guitar guy. So I took it to my buddy that ran a guitar shop. He said, I want to get this refurbished for my dad. Kind of cleaned it up a little bit. He goes, hey, sure. Is that the original case? I go, yeah, but that's an old case. And he opens it up and he looks and he's got this look on his face. He looks and he goes, don't touch this. Do you have any clue what you got here? Oh, I got it. So anyway, Dave Amato, I showed it to him from Speedway.

29:52And he goes, man, that thing. I go, hey, Dave, that thing has not been plugged into an amp and played on a stage since 1977. You want to play it? Will you think, would you play it on a show or something? And he goes, are you kidding me? I would love to. So that night sold out show in Omaha, Aario Speedwagon and Def Leopard and Tesla sold out show, right? And I get a phone. I'm about to leave to go up to the concert. I get a phone call. It's Kevin Cronin. He did. He did this guitar. Dave does play Fenders. I'm a Fender guy. This guitar's got, man, this guy's music. This just wants to fly out of it. I love this guitar. You have no idea I'm cool this guitar. It's all so anyway. So I went to the concert and Kevin Cronin, sound tech, takes my guitar halfway through the show. And Kevin Cronin tells a story about my dad's guitar and played riding the storm out.

30:53Oh my goodness. With my dad's guitar. And then he come over to the side of the stage during the instrumental. So I could get pictures of it. And then he looked at me and goes, you good? And I go, yeah, he goes, man, okay, he goes back to output. There's the coolest thing ever. I was so excited about it. When I say I'm an Aario Speedwagon fan, I'm a, I should clarify that more and say I'm a ride in the storm out, roll with the chains. Yeah, no, I heard the closest I've seen, closest I've come to seeing them. It's one time we were down fishing in Florida. And this is when I used to drink. We were out looking for a liquor store. Right. And in our wanderings looking for a liquor store, we wound up at a Aario Speedwagon cover band concert in the back of a liquor store. And this outfit was called Stormbringer. Wow. Stormbringer. The Aario cover A, Aario Speedwagon cover band. Yeah, Stormbringer. The whole thing sat through the whole thing and they never did roll the changes. Yeah. And one of my buddies said, I don't think they have a keyboard player who's up for the task.

31:56And so they got to skip that one because they can't do the soul. Probably right. That's a tough deal. That's a tough deal. Yeah. They're pretty good though. Stormbringer. Yeah. I honestly don't remember. I just remember by disappointment, they never got to the reason I was there. If you like, if you went to see Hattie East. Right. And they never did what's their main hits? Yeah. Without any reason. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well save my life and going down for the last. Yeah, save my life and going down for the last. You're like going down and down. Then you just roll high. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's it. Dude. We could talk about some old tunes. Now they're head west. Are they? No. I used to do joke over the joke. I used to do jokes. I used to do jokes for a living. You could do jokes about it. I was growing up right. Wait, I used to do joke about it. I wanted to get Molly Hatchett for a party I was having. I was going to get a Molly Hatchett tribute band. They were too expensive. So I ended up getting Molly Hatchett. That's really good.

32:56These hot dogs are good. Tell me about, you grew up around agriculture. And you still rate. You still in the bowl. Like Buckingham. What do you call them? Buckingham Bulls. Look, when I was a kid, I grew up right next to the sale barn. I wanted to be a catalog chair when I was a kid. One of my all time favorite movies is Convoy. Chris Christoffer's. I mean, that was the craze, man. I remember the first time I had my little walkie talkie and I said I was pulling cattle in. I'm like, Bracker, Bracker, weren't I? I'm just hit kid and I was then he goes, I got you, buddy. I got to see you over there. I was like, oh, mom, they taught to me. They taught to me. I mean, this was like, I was 30 years old. And, no, I mean, I love it. So I spent, when I was a little kid, I spent every day of my life at the sale barn loading cattle trucks. Okay. And we had a farm. I raised you. For a while. You were down there. Just because I liked it. And the guy that owned it was like my adopted grandpa.

33:57Okay. And he knew I loved that kind of stuff. And I raised pigs. I was legitimately a kid pig farmer. I'd buy my own hogs and I'd raise my own hogs. They're right. Oh, yeah, man. Man, at the most, I probably was looking after over a little over 200 head, you know, just as a kid, I was the only, you know, seventh grader with a good bank account. Yeah. But not like as a four-h program, you're doing a per sale. No, I actually bought the four-h derox out, which I'll never do again. She laid on her babies and ate two of them. So derox aren't very good at that. But yeah, so that was fun. So, um, am I wife? I met my wife. I met, she's from a small town in Wisconsin. She grew up on a big old black gang, his cattle ranch. Okay. So, uh, yeah. So, I, uh, I've always liked it. And then I moved to Florida and started doing stand-up. But, uh, I always wanted like a little, I always wanted cattle. And so now I'm able to do it.

34:57So I got, well, I was a little under 180 acres. And we got horses and, uh, couple of donkeys. And, but I got into the Buckham Bowl business because, uh, I'm a big fan of rodeo. So in the 90s, when I started making a little bit of money, finally Larry started making money for me, I started sponsored a buddy of mine named Tater Porter, who was a bull rider. That's a real name. Yeah, a bull rider. Tater Porter. Tater Porter. I was a bull rider with another bull rider named Spud Whitman. I'm not getting Tater's, but. And so I just got into the PBR and riding in the NFF. I loved it. Yeah. And so then I found out you could start paying to put your name on bulls to sponsor Buckham Bulls. Okay. So I started paying. And I had seven Buckham Bulls in the PBR six or seven that I've got to be co-part owner on.

35:59I got paid for the sponsorship. Yeah. And, uh, so one of my bulls in 2007, chicken on a chain, one Buckham Bull of the year. Damn. And that makes you money. It didn't make me a dime. It gave me just the pridefulness of being able to. When you're part owner, I don't know if there's money to be made. Oh, okay. There can be depends on what kind of deal you worked out, but I didn't know much about it. And I was just like, yeah, take my money. So I probably got ripped off. I probably could have bought that bull 20 times over. Yeah. What makes him the bull the year? How do they earn that? It's just the way he bucks. Okay. The scores that he gets on it. Yeah. The scores of cowboys get on him. Uh, that, you know, they score the bulls. So like you want, oh, sorry. You want like a real mean one or like a medium. You want one to buck. You want one buck. One that twists kicks high. Uh, uh, uh, that's what you want. Okay. You want a cowboy to get a good score on him. So if you have a bull and every time he goes out, you know, the cowboys are getting 85 and

37:00have 86 it up on him. I mean, that's good bull. Okay. Um, uh, you know, and I just started learning about that process of it. I was just, I just loved it. But then I started learning about it. And I met a guy here on my partner, AJ, AJ Moss, when my boy started, my boy came to me one day and said, I don't want to write back a bulls. And I'm like, man, that's unbelievable. Here's this kid I put in. I got a whole facility for sports. I got a basketball court and I got, you know, a bag. All that kind of, I got a, I got a drop down net for a hit and boss. Cause I said, my kids got to come in here and bring all his friends and they're going to, that one. I'll know where my kid is at all the time because they'll be over here playing sports, never played sports. Uh, and then one day he won, and he's athletic, very athletic. He was looking off to the other end of the property. He was. And then he came up to me and he even been going to Bull right since he was a kid, said he wanted to bull ride. So I said, okay. So I wanted to do it safely. Cause that's a tough sport. You got to be safe. And I didn't know who around there, how to get him started or anything.

38:04So I called, uh, I called my buddy, uh, Cody Lambert, who started the PBR, told him he wanted to ride bulls. And he said, ah, you know, a lot of these kids try to do it, make them look tough or get girls. He goes, it's a dangerous sport. You can get serenade crippled. Well, he was a, well, yeah. So I, he said, I'll tell you what. He says, tell you what, then how tall is he? How big is he? I see he's, he's right now. He's five, six, about a buck, 17. He goes, well, he's right in the prime. He says, he says, otherwise he's going to be a big fat guy like you. I like, like, come on, Cody. So he goes, I'll tell you what, bring him down. He says, bring him down to me for three days. Uh-huh. Give him to me for three days. I'll find out if he wants to bull ride or not. So right then, I'm thinking, oh, boy, here we go. And he came up to me and said, he liked him. He reminded him of his grandson, had a kind heart. He saw some talent in him.

39:05He said, you know, these kids that they want to do it and can't stop them. They're going to do it without you. You know, what's, what's turn 18? I'm going to go do it. So they're going to do it. Just find a place and do it safe, get him on steers and slowly move up. I said, okay, so there was really, uh, I met this guy, AJ Moss. And I find, he had buck and bulls. He had a bull in the PBR light. Me, I'm trying to shorten this story. So I met AJ and I took white out to AJ and he got on his first steer. And that's when I started saying, you know what? Why am I driving all the way out here? Yeah. I just put my own bull riding ring in. So I called Eddie Priefer to up. Eddie Priefer got me a pretty good deal on, uh, I bought the 2000 and 2000 and four. No, two, I thought the 2000, 24 PBR buck and shoots that they had in the world. Okay. So you got those instead of the year, the University of Braski yearnls.

40:05Yeah, I bought four of those and I bought that. Every time we buck, we get two, uh, I always get two professional bullfighters and I get two EMTs. And so it's invite only kids at a series about bull riding that have done it and they want to come get on good stock. We have 50 bulls that range from beginner all the way out of a nasty. But you personally, you don't get on those. No, I'm too old. Are you kidding me? Remember? Why am I almost, something come out of my butt. I got you. I didn't know if there's like a version. I didn't know if there's a bull riding version. It's like, uh, like, uh, like, uh, for older fellas. Do you have any, like, so, so I'm your wife if I'm 50. I mean, no, you don't want to get out of those sets. You know, kill you, man. You don't ride them, but I assume you name them. We name them. Um, it's, but you pick the names. I picked the name. The best name you've come up with right now.

41:05My favorite name is the villain from urban cowboy. Okay. Um, uh, oh, West High Tower. Is that the whole name? Yeah. The villain from the West High Tower. And he is awesome. Okay. Yeah. He actually got in his first NFR rodeo. Uh, I put on an extreme bull. So part of I asked, I said, look, I'm going to pay put it on. I want to get some bulls in it. So they let me bring a couple bulls. So I got West High Tower. Boom. He had a guy off two seconds. It was awesome. But it's fun. You know, I'm learning about it more and more myself. Uh, all the, all our bulls are at my buddies because he's got the facilities for the bulls and he's got the bull. But we buy bulls together and, and uh, it's fun, man. And then you lease, you lease those out to rodeos? No. Yeah, that's pretty much how they do it. I'll be a rodeo. You want to be a contractor with good bulls. Yeah. You know what? Call, blah, blah, blah, blah. Whitney Maas, buck and bulls and get their bulls out here. And then you, are you to the point now where you can look at one and know he's good just looking at him?

42:05No, you never know. Oh, you don't, because you can't tell by looking. You don't know at all. You can look at one and go, when you buy them, sometimes you buy them and they go, look, these are about the few times there's three good ones one bad. You got to take a chance of, sometimes you don't know. You see with their bread too, who they were bread to. Sometimes you go to the sale barn and you'll buy a bull and all of a sudden he's a great buck and bull. You just got a bull for cheaply. I see. You never know. It's like the best we've done so far is we bought four bulls from Colorado from a guy, five grand each. So we split it, ten grand each. And one of them is one four buck and bull futurities for yearlings and we got offered 50 grand for it. Oh, there you go. So, you know, it's like Austin Dillon does it too in auto race. He'd Austin Dillon, I call him every time. I call him actually when he locked out, he bought these buckables because he's getting into it too and he loves it.

43:08And he bought one, put it in the futurity, $100,000. I know. It's the way it is. So it's fun. It's a fun thing to do. It's a hobby for me. I don't make any money at it. I don't really. It's not why I do it. When I did it, I told my wife, I'm going to budget this much. Here's how much money I can waste on this. And I'm just going to have a good time doing it. And, you know, and it's fun to do. And what I really, what we try to pride ourselves in is those bulls and really rough in the shoots. Because some of the most dangerous bull riding is in the shoots. Shoot procedure. You need to know because that's the shoot procedure and the get off once the ride's over. You really got to learn those are the two most dangerous things. The ride's fun. If you ride, right? So shoot is, but you see those bulls try to jump out in the rare and they'll buck and they'll snort. We try to, we try to get ones that are dice and gentle in the shoot.

44:12And then you open the door and they're open to shoot. And then you show time. So you know, when we train and we run them through, get used to what they're doing. We run them through as many times and we feel ready for us. Like a dummy to put on them. We'll put a dummy on them. And then you put cowboys on them. But, you know, we don't have a lot of really crazy ones in the shoots. Most of ours are pretty good in the shoot. So I'm happy with that. In military family service is more than a job.

We got to talk about some of the foundational Larry the cable guy still up. Absolutely. Fish hook on the hat. Where did that come from? Do you ever use it? The fish hook on the hat. Did you invent that? No, the fish hook on the hat was when Isaac kid growing up. Most of the kids, you know, we grew up on farms. So it was just was a symbol for outdoorsy. But it was, that was pre-clip though. That was a, you made your own. Yeah, I was a hook. You hooked in your hat. Yeah, we made our own clips.

47:14It was all, so you did, you did mountain on a clip. Yeah. You can just jam it under the thread. Yeah, you made your own. You had a real hook and made your own clip. Then Eagle Claw came out. They knew kids were doing it. So they did it themselves. But it was always, I, that's just what we did. Who started it? I have no idea. I feel like you made it popular though. Like you should take some real credit for that. Yeah, maybe, you know, I could have been. I remember when I was a kid, you know, all about a lot of the farm kids. A lot of the did it. And it signified back then if you were efficient a lot. You were a kid that faced you. What were you guys fishing for back then? Caffees. Oh, man, bullheads. Bullheads, carp, city ponds, cricks, you know, anything. Anything you could get on. Yeah. Yeah. What about Getter Dunn? Where'd that come from? Getter Dunn. When I was a kid, we'd go to my grandpa's house. So I was probably four or five years old. But my grandpa, he'd always say, we get in the pickup truck. And he'd either go get gas or go check the cows.

48:16And it was, let's go. Let's get to getting. And then get it done. We got to go get it. Let's go. We're going to get to getting. So those frills, those frills as well, is in my head. I didn't think much of it. But when I did, when I started, I started doing the Larry the Kable Guy on stage as just a little funny three minute bit. I always did voices and characters. But you would go from your, in a normal set, you'd jump in to be in Larry. I go, hey, this guy ever come over to your house? Hi. Hi. Did you order a cable? That guy was somebody's older type, my pair. Because we ain't here for no reason. What's your house number? 27. Oh, that's not it. This is 26, 14. We way off. You know that kind of thing. And pay for it. So I got it. And then you then you'd go back out of it. And you're, yeah. And then they would laugh. And then I just go back into a regular routine. Yeah. But a buddy of mine saw that his name is Ron Benning.

49:17And he said we were really good friends back in the day. And, and he had a morning show in Tampa. Mm hmm. Call the Ron and Ron show. And so he said, man, we need characters over there. One night at the comedy corner in West Palm Beach. We got to talk and then laugh and have fun. You should call our show and do that character. It's so funny. So I remember I called up and I didn't even have a name. I used to call them and go, hey, I remember what I called. Hello, D.I.C. or Y and F. Hey, do I want to make a little start like this? Hey, boys, you don't want me to do that hook up today or you want me to wait until tomorrow? Well, we're on here right now. Oh, she is. That coming. Oh, no, no, who is this? Here's a cable guy. Oh, yeah, Ronnie, remember we wanted to put cable in. Oh, yeah, cable guy. What's your name? Larry. The first thing I thought of was my buddy with his belt with Larry on the back.

50:17Right? And so I just said Larry and the rest is radio history. I'm not lying. God is good. That's how it works. Are there some characters who didn't survive? Oh, yeah. Well, I did an old lady from Boca Raton. Well, that's pretty much Rose. Sometimes it was Rose. Sometimes it was Iris. This is Iris. Hello. I love your program. We've been listening down here in Boca. Just a wonderful program. My husband is not a hospital. He drove the truck through publics. You know, just that. You know, just had that. It was just down there. And then there was... I doesn't have the range. There was no man. There was no man. There was like, I love your show. You know, just all kinds of stuff. So I would go into a morning show. I was part of a morning show down in Orlando. I would keep a phone there. And all I did was pick it up in the main line with ring. And so he would get a call. And then my buddy would pick it up.

51:17You know what I'd be like, hey, that last caller. I agree with him. You know what? I would just do voices. It was fun. And you know, it's crazy about that. And then the next time I was on Jimmy Kimmel, we went to a commercial and goes, hey, you don't know this. But you and I started pretty much the same way. I go, what do you mean? He goes, well, you were doing characters on 95 Y&F, right? In Tampa. I go, yeah, he goes, so funny. I literally was calling the radio station across the street doing characters for that radio station. Oh, seriously? No way, really? And I was recently on Adam Crowley show. And Adam says, yeah, you know me and Jimmy used to call radio stations and do characters. So we all kind of started the same way. I'm like, wow, that's crazy. I had no idea. But yeah, that's pretty much how it started. We got a, we got a guy we work with, dear friend of mine and longtime colleague. And as he gets older, he's, he's taken, he's gone through two transitions.

52:19Where he's taken to run in 100 mile races through the mountains. Right. And somehow I feel like it's related, but maybe not. He's begun to go sleeveless. Yeah. Okay. That's where to go. Now, if you, like, if you imagine, like if you're going to provide advice to a guy going sleeveless, late 40s, going sleeveless, what do you, what are some of the mistakes a guy like that can make? What are some of the wins you could have? Well, go sleeveless is the greatest thing you'll ever do in your life. Wow. My going sleeveless as far as stage was an accident. You just forgot your sleeves. No, there was an accident because I did wear, I moved to Florida. So I wore sleeveless t-shirts and, because it's hot and humid all the time. It's a them hot, yeah. I only wear sleeves of my guy. I go to school or had a, you know, and then when I did stand up,

53:19that's when I'd go on stage in a flannel shirt. Okay. Okay. And I, and I, and I picked flannel shirt because it hangs, you know, I'm not like best shaped guy. I was a lot thinner than, but, I wasn't fat. I was, you know, big bone. But that shirt, a flannel shirt, really hangs nice. Got it. It looks good. I think you're, you know, the flannel shirt. You were thinking about your, like, your, your spell, your experience. I was, 30 years old. So whatever it was. Well, you know, you, they just look good. I understand. Yeah. Well, I did wear sleeves, but when it was summertime, I wouldn't, I would wear no sleeves, because then the summer was high and we're sleeved. So when I would travel around the country, it was cold, I'd put sleeves on. Got it. Well, we just go happen to film Blue Collar TV in the first one, and it was flipping hot. It was a little bit of a, I was going to be like, I'm going to wear the shirt, I was going to wear a sleeveless shirt. And I had no sleeves on. I said, I'm putting my other shirt on.

54:20I knew it was TV taping. So I wanted to look, you know, I'm not wearing a sleeve. So I did wear a sleeveless shirt. So every time I did a show after that, people would go, if I had sleeves, they'd go, dude, we wore a shirt with no sleeves. Where's your, he got sleeves. Well, I'll go change. So I'd go change, you know. So I just went sleeveless on stage. I've got my gold sleeveless. Is the greatest free thing of all time. You're a good ambassador for the lifestyle. Well, and the only, here's the thing about it. There's really no rule to it. You just want to, you don't, we get one that's too tight. Because that's the, that's a whole different look. That makes me feel the whole purpose of the sleeve. That's a whole different look. That's a whole different look. Hangs is comfortable. Yeah. It's not tucked on your sides. You're free with your arms. And it's, you know, and you have two different sleeveless looks. You have the sleeveless short, short's look for the spring and summer. And then once it turns cold in the fall and the winter, you have your sleeveless shirt and your,

55:22uh, warmer shorts. You know what I mean? You're a bad, you're the, the, the more material. Every, every shirt. Every fat guy's got thick pair of shorts. And a, non thick pair of shorts for when the weather changes. And he always wear the same, he got a, he had a flat, you know, if you, you know, where we have right now in the calendar. It's October, you know, he's hot weather, he's hot weather sleeveless right now. Yeah, right now I'm hot weather sleeveless. Yeah, good. I'm kind of a cool, yeah. I wore it. Now I wore sleeves up here. Because there's kids down there. So as soon as I walk by and I hear, hey, there's Mater. Then I'm stuck. So I see every time you go in a condito is to have sleeves. Yes. For me, that's good. Now get recognized. I got to dress with sleeves. Because a lot of guys go sleeveless to get recognized. But you got to go sleeves. Yeah, you got to go sleeves. Yeah, I wear sleeves to not get recognized. And you know, it's really funny one time. I went to the go,

56:22when we were on the road, when in my heyday, when we were doing, you know, arenas, I mean, neighbor got to crap. We all did it. And, but back in those days, I remember I wanted to go out to eat. My wife was there and we're all out on the buses. And they were going to this really good restaurant. I'm like, I mean, I literally couldn't go anywhere. I mean, it was crazy. Oh, yeah. In 2005, six and seven. And it was nuts. You know, and then, so my buddy goes, hey, you should buy the jog and suit. They bought you for a joke. I go, what? I'm going to go out and eat. I'm going to go out and eat. I'm going to go out and eat. I go, I go, what? Yeah, it's a good idea. So somebody on who was bought me a Nike full jog and suit, like you'd see a mobster wear back in the day, you know. So I put on the mobster jog and suit and I had my hat on backwards and a pair of sunglasses and we go to this restaurant. We're waiting in line.

57:22Just waiting in line. Nobody's told us. This is great. I looked like an idiot, but this is great. And then I was shot as opposed to normally you don't look like an idiot. The other day is really, you know, you're brilliant. You know, you know, just for that, I'm farting on the set right now just because you said that. Okay. I'll show the guy. Some guy goes, hold on. Some guy in front of me nudges me and goes, you layer the cable guy. And I go, yeah, I don't tell anybody. He goes, what do you wear in that? I was trying to get recognized. He goes, well, take it off. You look like an idiot. I said, I agree. And then we both laughed that that was it. I don't see. I was going to tell you about it. I was going to tell you about the public figure and what they do when they're, I can't do it. A public figure the other day was sharing with me a very simple move he does

58:23to never get recognized. Yeah. When he's out and about, but I, go on. I don't want to blow his deal, you know? Well, actually, he pees his pants or something. Brian Haley. My buddy, Brian Haley, a comedian is so funny. He looks like Matt Cedron. He used to do a joke about walking at home after comedy clubs and bad parts of town. Because I found a way that they'll never bother you. First thing you do is you wet your pants. And then you walk home like this. And then you start to do an high kicks going, thing don't, thing don't. He was like, never come here. Kept him away. Dan, I used to watch your show only in America on History Channel. Good show. The thing I was most jealous of, you got to do so much cool stuff. Oh, some label. I felt like I saw you break character one time because you were so giddy when you were with some game wardens in Alaska who set up a moose decoy off the highway. And then you saw somebody shoot it. Yeah. One of my favorite episodes. Alaska was awesome.

59:23But we set this decoy up. And it was the dumbest looking decoy. And I'm thinking there's no way. Somebody's going to think this. And of course the guy I was with was kind of goofy himself, the game warden guy. So he's fun, you know. So we set this thing up. And I'm making jokes like, yeah, nobody's, I mean, look at this. It looks like it was the dumbest thing you've ever seen. Right on the side of the road. Well, first of all, now we have to go sit. So we sit in the guys car waiting for you. Waiting for somebody to shoot this stupid thing. And by guys, people were driving and then slowed down. Mm hmm. You see, I know they're going by. So after about the 15th car that slowed down, I go, I told you they're not going to believe that's the dumbest thing I ever seen in my life. I look and some guy stops, gets out of his truck. And we see pulling a rifle out. And I go, you got to be kidding me. Really? This guy? And he goes, you hear. He goes, he shot. Let's go. The car won't start.

1:00:30And I'm like, well, this has to be the dumbest thing I've ever been on in life. We finally get to start going down there. Yeah. And the guy actually, because they can do that down there. You can shoot on the side of the road. If you see one, you just got to make sure you're on the side of the road safely. Can't shoot from across or whatever road down there. No, because they live on that. They are all appointed. They all can get one per family. I guess it's something like that. And so then we went down there. But I thought the funniest part of the whole thing was we let him go. Just give him a warning because we're doing the show. And I go, later on Robert was later on Robert was seen down with the JC Penny is hitting on a mannequin. I'm impressed you never forget a joke. I was never forget that. That guy shot at that stupid. Dude, they got sophisticated ones. Now we interviewed a guy in Idaho that worked on that program. Right. And they got him to turn their head now.

1:01:30He was telling me that you can't use too big of a buck. If you use a giant buck, it enters into this whole like basically like entrapment or you've created a situation of just outstanding circumstance. The no sane person, right, would be able to resist. So you need to use a more modest buck. Wow. Wow. But I can't remember if that was, I need to go revisit why exactly that was because I put a huge buck and that get all the guys dressed by. Right. You could ever get a troll by dance episode had a big, big bull moose. But you could see like where the neck met the body. It was like, and I think I remember somebody even pulling over to your vehicle and being like, did you guys know there's a mannequin in the woods over there? Like it was, it was that obvious to it. It was, it was so, but it made for a funny show. Yeah. That was the point of the show. I also loved Blair, the cable guy roast on Comedy Central. It was one of the most watch ones they've ever had.

1:02:30Who do you think did the best job of roasting you? Oh, man. That was, they were all good. Was there anybody who was too mean? Yeah, it's going to be a hard position to be in, man. Getting roasted by people who are good at roasting. Getting roasted by people who are good at roasting. But you got to understand when I did that roast, I was the number one guy. Yeah. So the number one guy is always the target. Especially a one line of guy like me and you know, doing a character. And you know, it's like Scott Tom, like Carrot Top. Carrot Top's been a punching bag forever. Oh yeah. And Carrot Top is hilarious. He's clever. One of the nicest comics in the world. But you know, people think patch hats. So that was when I was so, yeah, some of us, so there was a couple of roasters that, they, matter of fact, great job although, came out to me after the podcast backstage. Yeah. And he goes, he literally said he goes, hey, Dan, I hope you look. I hope you're not mad at some of those jokes.

1:03:32And I just, but you know, when I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at myself because I'm, I should be one of the guys. I should be getting roasted. I should have the career you have. But I don't have because of myself because I can't, as I do this and I do that and I know I shouldn't do. He was just going into his life basically. And so he goes, so I hope you're not, I don't want to look you're nice guy. And I don't hope you're not mad at me. But when I was venting up there, I was more venting at myself than I was at you. I say, great, I know what it is. It's a roast, man. I can take a joke. I get it. No hard feelings. I was laughing. It's all good. So, so it was an awkward ending. It was good. Well, it was good. I mean, I knew I was going to get it from a couple of those guys, but if you're going to be a comedian, you got to take it. I'm not really, but I've never, like all my stuff is just nonsense stuff. I don't really pound or bang other comedians or anything. Sure.

1:04:32You know, but I think Jeff was probably, I'm always going to say Jeff, because Jeff is like my adopted older brother. But Jeff was classy and he was funny and he was clever. And that was what I wanted. That was good. You know, Toby did a good job. Toby Keith. The thing about that was, I knew what they were like. And I didn't want my mom watching. So I requested certain comedians that I wanted and I wanted it PG 13. I said, I want to do a throwback to the Dean Martin roasts because I grew up with the Dean Martin roasts. So Jeff and I had Dan Marino and Dan Marino had to end up canceling out and then of course Marsha Bray, the Marine McCormick was there. I didn't ask for Marine McCormick. He's a great Gerardo. They got to have because he's always there. Jeff Ross, who's a buddy of mine, I love Jeff. I'm glad Jeff was, but then a few people that I didn't was going to be like Warren Sap.

1:05:34I know Warren. I didn't invite Warren, but Dan Marino could make it. So Warren Sap took his place, which was nice. I love, you know, I know him. So he wanted to do it because I knew him. Did your mom watch it? I don't think so. I told her not to. I felt bad after I did it. You know, I can't imagine. I felt bad. It's not, it's not, it's not. Tell you what? And I'm not a mean like, so they, you know, they write you jokes and then you, if you want to come up with some, you can, but there's so many people. So I just relied on, um, uh, I do, I take that back. I did, uh, the Warren Sap when I did where I said, uh, it was Toby Keith and it was, uh, I figured it was Toby Keith. And who was the other, uh, I can't remember. There was Toby somebody in Warren Sap. And the man he brought all the stars out to night, Toby Keith and blah, blah, blah. And look at her, and a wreath of Franklin. I mean, I remember I did that. But I felt bad because they wrote, they had a joke and I saw them love some of myself

1:06:39for the first time. I go, it's nice to have Marshall Brady here, man. Marshall Brady, I was in love with you when I was a kid. You were so beautiful. What happened? You know, everybody laughed and in my head, oh, man, it's so mean. Yeah. I like her. She's a nice girl. She's, you know, then she went up hammered me and then I'm like, you know, it's her. Yeah, you got the first shot. Yeah. Well, yeah, but I, I didn't, I felt bad doing that. I like my Remaker. They had me doing these. Some of them. And then after that, they just got real hateful. The road's really got hateful and mean. You know, when I did it, they were still pretty lighthearted. Yeah. But man, they started getting really hateful. You know, comfortable. Well, I will say I was uncomfortable doing those about Maureen McCormack. Because I really, she was like, you know, I don't give starstruck my people, except for people that I grew up as a little kid. Yeah. And I always liked the Brady function. I was like, Maureen McCormack. Here I am, bassin her because, you know, she's older and doesn't look like she used to look

1:07:40and nothing's horrible. Yeah, no, it's not even funny. I understand. But I did it. In military family service is more than a job. It's a legacy at American military university.

1:10:49Yeah. And I host it. And then they show the videos. There's another guy on there talking about, you know, saying what's happening. Yeah. And then there's one, there's that thing called Larry's people where I picked my three favorites. Yeah. Those are each of my people. I hang out with these people. And so I narrate those. And then I close it out. So it's just, it's just me, green screen and showing funny videos. And you're doing a boatload of those. We already did. We shot 52 episodes. So they'll be one a week now for the next 52 weeks. And yeah, I mean, it's going all over the country. You never know how it's going to go because I premiered, you know, in September, when football. Yeah. So it's like, you know, hey, our team's playing. You have a whole lot of Larry's on. You got to have a Larry for half a year. A little back to the first quarter. But they, I think they air me now. It's at all different times. But generally, I'm air to half an hour before a football game starts.

1:11:52Get people warmed up. Generally that's how we go. And what you, and you, you got more stuff in the cars world, right? I got to tell you to like, I. So I've always known your stand up. But, but to be the role that you took on in my household, because I, so I have 11, 13, 16. Oh, yeah, you're right there. Like, listen, like, I don't want to bother you up too much. The tomato stuff is genius. I mean, like, it's just like a genius. Yeah, it's just like an execution of a character. But to be like 11, 13, 16, the role, the tomato hat. That's in my household. Like, tomato has said more words in my household than I have. Yeah. Oh, man. I'm just like a huge favor. Yeah. I am blown away by that whole thing. I'm so thankful. I mean, I would have never thought in the many years.

1:12:52You know, but it just continues to go and just like it just makes people happy. Yeah. And I did, I did it right. You know, I'm not, look, I'm not Hollywood at all. I don't live out there. I don't like. So when they said, I was proud of it. I was proud of me. Breathe in life into the little truck. It's, and it's close to my personality. It's my personality, really. I'm just being me in that thing with fake and accent. But it's just like being that I would have never thought that it turned into what it turned into who would have thought that. And so I always do when they asked me like, they'll ask the guys, well, there's video games and toys and they'll say, do you want to voice these? It doesn't pay much, but this is what they're paying. And you know, everybody went in that. I'm not going to do it. You know, I'll do it. I don't want nobody else doing. Maybe I can. Yeah. I can imagine, man. I'd be like when they got like, remember when you're a kid and they switched, bowling Luke Duke out for those cousins, bands and all that.

1:13:53Oh my God. Yeah, you can't have some other dude doing tomato. And good luck getting in there. And they may have sounds like me. It's a hard deal. You know, so I have done every toy, every game, every video game, every commercial. Anything where made or is talking is me. Other than the 400 films. You know, I've done all those things. And so even if they wanted to get somebody else to do it, you would know. Because you would know. I have certain inflections. I have a certain sound to it. I would know kids would know kids. People that grew up with made her and love made her. If somebody else did it, that wasn't me, they would know good job security. Yeah. And you know, and I'm not, but here's the thing. I'm not a jerk and I'm not. I like doing it. So I'm not hard to work with. I'm like, yeah, you know what? If you can get more to get more, it's not all that. So because I like doing it. It's fun for me. I like the people I work with, the people in the studio. We've done it for years.

1:14:53I just have a good time doing it. And it's fun. So yeah, that thing was awesome. But the thing that sucks about it is. Now whenever they want me to audition to do another cartoon voice, everybody says like I'm a waiter. Oh, I can see that. Yeah. Yeah. That was so. I can see that man. You type cat. You type cat. I'm not. I'm no man. Hey, this isn't live obviously. Right. So the truth will be known when this airs. Yeah. So you're in a very awkward position when I ask you what we just, what's the score? What's the score going to be? Oh, the game. Yeah. Here's the deal. So people already know that you're right or wrong. I was close last week. I was only three points off. I said we win 34 to 13. We won 31 to 13. Oh, thank wow. Yeah. So give me as much color, much details you want. And then we'll then we'll be reality checked. Here's the deal. I've got that last 10 years in my hand. I'm a pessimism.

1:15:53Are we going to blow it? Is this the day? Here's what scares me about Maryland. At the beginning of the year, they were supposedly pretty good team. Mm hmm. They've been tanking. They got blown out by UCLA. Yeah. Some people say UCLA is the best team in the big time. Yeah. I don't know. It's too early. They fired their coach, Maryland. Yeah. But evidently, there was so many people that wanted to back player wise. Okay. You're not fired, but we're going to go game by game. And if we see improvement, huh? So the his team is going to play a coach a situation. Yes. So that team is going to play really hard for that coach today. I'm going to go 45 to 24. Wow. I think they're going to score some points. They got a better. They got a better mascot. They got a better mascot than you guys don't ever say they've a better mascot. They're like a therapist. You sound like a South Dakota now talking about their corn.

1:16:55Yeah. Terrific. The little tear happens. What is a terrible? I never had one, but it they used to be quite popular. Yeah. Let's take a little turtle guy. You know, I don't know. Cornhouse. 40. That's what it means. 45. Husking corn. That's what we do. We like, they ask corn because but that's not like a man. We would have builder. We would house more corn if our soil was better. What was the damn sand? I changed it. 45 17. Okay. Okay. 45 17. There you have it. Don't know. Neither even go back and watch the game. That's what happened. All right. All right. Thanks, man. Are we done now? We're done. We got friends call. I want to tell more about you. You can talk all you want. No, I'm only. I'll try to be respectful. Your time. Because I know you got this whole thing is like filling up a people. What time is 12 50? Oh my God. Your friends are coming at one. Well, how long is your punk? However long we make it. Can I say one thing? You can. Well, I don't want to go yet. Cause I want to end it out of respect for your friends. No, no, you talk all you want. Yeah. Okay. Okay. They aren't really friends. I can send your friends in a different point. I literally pay people to hang out with me.

1:17:56Okay. Cool. So before your employees come in, no, you got as much time. I want to tell you this because a lot of I want to let people know this because some people ask me, you didn't. How did I come to do learning the cable guy on stage? Were you told us that? No, I just told you how get or not. Mm hmm. No, you said that you would go into a bit. Yeah, but that's yeah, but I was Dan Whitney. Oh, okay. Yeah, please. All right. I want to hear everything. Cause I want to hear all this. Cause I always want to give him credit. Okay. So one day I'm on the radio station. It's real popular. There's so I got a copyrighted cell and T shirts. The whole thing. Uh huh. My buddy off just the radio stuff. Yes, off the radio. Not having done it on stage. No, go off radio. When the radio thing is happening, would you get recognized by your voice out and about in Florida or no? Uh, no, not yet. Cause I'd never made a public, I made a public appearance. Uh huh. Face radio. Right? It's all theater of the mind.

1:18:58My buddy, less McCurdy. McCurdy's comedy shot Saint Peter's bird Florida. Okay. Bills me. Now I just left this radio station and went to another one, right? In Orlando and got syndicated. My buddy, less McCurdy goes, I show up. It said the bankroom of the holiday in and that's where his comedy club is. I can't find a place to park. And I'm like, what I got neck of Shriners and town? What's going on, right? You know, so, uh, I walk in and go, man, less. I mean, what's going on? You go, I can't find a place to park because they're here to see you. I go, I literally have a cleaning. I go, what I do? I know. When you said he billed you, I thought you meant like he sent you a bill. No, he put me.

1:19:58He was, I hope you don't mind. I know you had a falling out with that radio station, but I billed you as Dan Whitney, AKA Larry, the cable guy from the 95 lineup. And I literally was like, ah, less. How did you do that for? Is this all theater of the mind? I don't have an act for Larry the cable guy. He's like, well, it's so intense. It's all I know. I go, really? He goes, dude, I announced Larry the cable guy, right? You do Larry the cable guy. I still like 600 tickets in like 18 minutes. Uh-huh. He got to be kidding me. So I go up for the first show, right? Doing good, you know, my actors were one line of goofy doing good, but they kept yelling get it on. Then one guy, hey, do some Larry. Get it on. We want to hear Larry. Got it. Got it. So then I go, so I did a couple jokes as Larry.

1:21:01Ah, he's funny saying, right? I come back out of it. I can't freaking get any laughs. So I go, let me do a little bit more Larry here. So you switched back to Dan. It was bomb. Yes. Well, he wouldn't bomb, but it wasn't. I was killed. I was doing greater, but what would be a dent? Like let's say you're in the era where you're doing some Larry. You're doing a Larry. What would be a Dan joke? Same jokes. Maybe that dog whispered that would be a Dan joke. I got my sister. She's a dog whisperer. What's that? That's good. That's what I would do. More I was more physical. I would do more like hit my knee or like acting like I fell down or more of that slapsticky. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. So Larry would do better on the joke. Larry, the cable guy did social commentaries on the radio. What the hell is this? What's going on with these damn, you know, and I would very politically incorrect.

1:22:09Total Archie bunker. Yeah. Likeable. Not mean, but likeable. The guy that had a point to say but littered it with, you know, poop jokes and that like that, right? Strip clubs. That kind of thing. But made a little point like the best compliment I ever had was like I can only go, Hey, I know you're trying to be funny and you're like doing these commentaries and you're putting these stupid jokes in there. But if you listen to what you're saying at the end of it, you make pretty good point. Right. That's the problem. Yeah, I have to say. So I didn't have any jokes for that. So I would just, I was doing great and tell somebody you'll get her done. And then I did a joke that I normally would do as Larry and double the last and then I go back in to me. I still getting good last but they wanted to hear more Larry. So I get done. And then the next show, last come up and he goes, Hey, you ever thought about doing your

1:23:12whole show? As Larry the cable guy, I go, less, I don't want to have an act for Larry. Well, just do what you did. Do your acts. Swiss the whole damn thing. So what I had to do was I was fast, fast, Larry slow, meticulous, drawn out, you know, what took me eight seconds to tell a punchline Larry, the character tells the same punchline but double the time. You don't know what happened. I have any joke. Good for you too. Yeah. It's like a normal. Yeah, exactly. Like, like I do a joke about it. It's like, like this would be one of my jokes. That's playing pickleball the other day. Even play pickleball. Oh man, it's playing pickleball. It's one of my market where they threw out my pickle. Ha ha. You know, and then laugh after Larry be like, Oh, else, you know, Larry, play pickleball. That's playing pickleball the other day. And then turn my pickle out. You believe that?

1:24:13Then I'm pickle. Then run out the show. You know, just like that better. Yes, it's hilarious. The way it is said makes it funny. That's what Fox were the thing below. He said me, Jeff would always say, I don't know why that jokes funny. It's the way you tell the joke that makes it funny. Yeah, there's a you remember Jerry clower. Yes. He's awesome. He's like a four barrel. Oh, no. Come on. Yeah. He said, well, Jerry clowered once said, I don't tell funny stories. I tell stories funny. Yes. Exactly. So it's how you tell it. So he said, Les goes, can you do, can you talk like that for an hour? And I told him, I go, Les, I grew up on a neck on a pig farm in Southeast Nebraska. All my friends, I went to college in Georgia. I said, all I do is hang out in country bars all the time.

1:25:14I can think like a redneck all day long. I was talking like a redneck for a come here hanging out with my buddy Brad, because that's how he talked. I said, they didn't know problem. He says, well, I'm going to take your name off. Just put layer to cable guy. I said, I'm going to go change. And I had pants. You know, I had a nice shirt, but I had a button down on. You know, and I went to the car and I said, this is going to be awesome. I don't even have to flip and I hate dressing up. Yeah. I wore sleeveless stuff. I go to the car, which by the way, for anybody thinks I'm fake, I drove over in my car in 1986, trans and with teetops with a big old blue bird that I just was so proud I had painted on the front of it. And I changed and I put on my lace up, a ropers, pair of jeans, a Nebraska corn husker, sleeveless t-shirt, and a NASCAR hat. That's exactly what I drove over.

1:26:15So you put your clothes back on? I put my clothes, I took off my show clothes and put my driving clothes back on. And I went on stage and it was so fun. And I was making myself laugh. That's great. I never had more fun in my life doing stand up than doing what I was doing, watching them laugh, but then adding things, because stuff just comes to you, because you're so into the character. And then you're just adding stuff. I would laugh on stage a couple times and then I'd tell them, that's funny. I would cry, I just went myself laugh on that one. And then I would write it down so I would remember. And that's how it started. I want to tell you that's how it started, because that's how it started, right there. What is it like? Let's take all the cars stuff, right? Like just hugely popular and influenced just kid after kid after kid for longest time, and adults. But in the title, I literally have a milk dud fart, but come out.

1:27:19I apologize. But it may come out. I've been trying to hold it. Is this Dan or Larry that's farting? No, it's Dan. Yeah, there's many mountains that might be both of us. As you wrestle with that, do you ever, if you see like in the credits, it says Larry, the cable guy. Yeah. Is there like a degree of separation? Or is that just you? No, let me tell you, I'm glad that we extended this a few minutes. That bugs me a little. But at the time when I did cars, I wanted Dan Whitney. You did? Yes. They wanted Larry the cable guy, name, because it was a brand at that point in my career. I was just a stand up. I don't know about all the movies, all this stuff. They brought to me. I didn't ask for it. They would bring it to me. So it's like my manager said one time because you can't use your, you can't like when I

1:28:21did my first movie. It's like you can't use your first name. Yeah, people be like, who do you know who you are? Here's the thing. Dan, here's the thing. You're a brand now. It's a brand. Get or done. Larry the cable guy is a brand. So everything you do has to be under this brand. I'm like, okay. So everything's under that brand. So now I kind of wish there was a few things. It would be a, especially when people give me stuff. Like I got like the coolest thing from like I do a lot of stuff with the troops, right? And I got this distinguished service thing for the army. Like I did stuff for the guard and everything. And it says, it says to Larry the cable guy. It's like, ah, what the, you know, that felt like a Dan thing. Well, some people, some of those things like that do say Dan Whitney. There's some things that I wish they didn't say that I got from like the troops or I got from a hospital or I got, you know, because those are, those are cool things.

1:29:25And when they put Larry the cable guy, I'm thinking, well, I get it. I get it. I'm Larry. I get it. But sometimes it's like, I just wish to put my real name on it because I created this thing. When you die, man, you might need to get one of them double. Like you know, like, well, how do you see the 10 commandments on the two stone tablets? Yeah. When you die, you get a double head stone. I should. Dan and Larry. Absolutely. And of course, that's going to be nicer than mine. He's got all the money. One one stole say he got her done. You got her done. Got her done. Got her. You did it. Got her. That's what it is. Cable guy's also coming in old time. He referenced by now. I imagine kids. What's a cable guy? Yeah. I know. I never even thought of that. Yeah. No. Yeah. That's from not that long ago. Yeah. I'm like, dude, when I was a kid, man, you went to do the phone. You went, they can't even understand when I'm calling him an e-cloat. You know what? I had no idea. It's just, it's like one of those things that's just stuck.

1:30:26It doesn't even mean anything anymore. It's just, you know, it's like, sedric, the entertainer. You know, Larry, the cable guy. I mean, it's just, it doesn't even occur to me that I'm being a cable installer. It's just like it's Larry the cable. I forgot that detail. It makes no sense. And I got irritated at Direct TV one time because they were running those commercials with celebrities, you know, stupid. Yeah, I forget. I can't remember what commercials. Maybe they were, Direct TV was running into commercial with that actor that we're a good looking actor that back in the day. That one. What's his name? He was part of the, the, the, the, the, you know what I'm talking about? He was in what was the, I can't remember his name. Anyway, he was good. They were running commercials with him. Well, they're good looking guy. And yeah, I can't remember. And the, the first thing, your friends are trying to break in. I know. I just wave. No, the first thing that I thought was, why don't they give me Larry the cable guy is switching

1:31:31to Direct TV. Oh, dude, I've been genius. It would have been huge. Larry the Direct TV guy. Yeah. That takes me about corporate. Larry the cable guy is switched to Direct TV, right? And then I come out, that's right. I'm not Larry the Direct TV guy. May it. And you can get, I mean, it was the perfect sales pitch. Get a change in your business because at the time, well, Larry the cable guy is only really for one part of the country, you know, because the Southern accent. Yeah. Sometimes he says things that are a little controversial. Meanwhile, you got frickin' rappers, you know, singing about killing cops and frickin' you know, you know, with women and, you know what I mean? No, I know exactly what you mean. You know, all kinds of corporate stuff. I'm like, what, how am I controversial when you got, you know what I mean? What's his name?

1:32:31Who's the guy, what's that one rapper that's always out? Snoop Dogg. Yeah. I got none of his stuff. Dude, he's become like a national spokesperson. He's got a good job, he's career, I'm sure he's a nice guy. But I didn't say, you know, and somebody even asked him a time to you apologize for some of the woman that's things you said about, no man, because I'll tell you that. And he was like, he doubled down. But you were controversial. And then saying, you know, two Super Bowl commercials. I mean, meanwhile, you know, I'm like, don't get me started. It's just getting spressed right now. That would have been the perfect direct TV commercial. 100%. There's a lot of hypocrisy and corporate who they get and who they don't get. Look, I've had a good career. I ain't worried about it. But I'm just saying, that direct TV pissed me off. Yeah, I know. I'm just out of tune. You're getting many. But listen, Snoop Dogg, he ain't no Tomator though. He ain't no Tomator. And look, I don't say that. I love everybody. And I'm happy for everybody's career. I'm not like, I'm not mad at them. I'm upset at the corporations and we're like, say, you're too controversial.

1:33:34But then they'll put somebody else. That's even way more controversial. Well, we need to do is find that we need to find that direct TV person, the exact or whatever agency they use. And we need to say in hindsight, in hindsight, do you recognize the missed opportunity? And maybe you'll get the come up and to reserve. It should say every night as I'm going to bed, I think about that I didn't cast Larry the direct TV guy. No, thanks for having me on, guys. Sorry, I wanted to tell you a story though, because I think that's important. How I got to know how I got to know how I started doing it. Don't stay. That's how I did it. That's great story.
