00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:03.359
Like I I the reason I ask that because you ever see those squid shots?
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:05.280
See these people taking squid shots?
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:09.519
So they'll uh have you seen it?
00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:18.960
Like they'll they'll dunk a uh like a squid, a live squid in some kind of I don't know what it is, in a cup and just start eating it.
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:21.440
I just want to know why we're doing these things.
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:22.480
I don't know.
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:31.839
All right.
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.000
So listen, happy Monday, y'all.
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:35.280
Welcome to the show.
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.600
And I'm sitting here with the funniest guy in Nashville, Nate Bergazzi.
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:40.240
I'm serious.
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:41.119
I'm serious.
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:43.679
I'm just gonna go ahead and declare more.
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.000
Um, Mike James, welcome to the show.
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:46.479
Thank you.
00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:48.560
Like, what have I gotten from?
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:51.119
Yeah, it starts now already.
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.399
Welcome to the start of the show.
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:54.880
Thank you.
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:59.840
Listen, I gotta tell you though, you okay, so I just can't believe I only just discovered you.
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:03.439
I'm really sorry about that, but I'm here now.
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:05.280
And so we were at the Opry.
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.120
And my nephew, I've told you this, but I gotta tell the people this.
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:11.280
My nephew is 16.
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:12.319
You have a 16-year-old.
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.159
They don't get like too pumped up about things.
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:16.799
Anything.
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:17.840
At least not in front of us.
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:18.560
Right.
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:19.359
Right.
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:27.359
And his dad was playing the opera that night, and they did great, got a standing ovation with Colin Wright, was awesome.
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.760
And then I thought there was somebody after that, you know, Sullivan's just enjoying life like kids do.
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:32.879
And then you came on.
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.400
And he laughed so hard.
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:37.200
That's funny.
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:37.840
It was the best.
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.280
I mean, honestly, I was like, what is happening?
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.799
Because I was trying to so I always try to be cool.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:49.439
And um, sorry, Sullivan, I'm telling all the stories, but like we were laughing so hard because my sister and her husband had to go.
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.359
I had the kids, and we were just hysterical.
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:52.400
Like you were so funny.
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:53.280
Thank you.
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.120
So I was like, okay, listen, I've got to find this guy.
00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:59.519
And you were like, Yeah, come on the podcast.
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:01.599
So um, thanks for being here.
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:02.560
Thanks for having me.
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.120
And yeah, I'm um, I appreciate your nephew.
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:10.479
Uh like I'm I'm never sure if like like kids that age would get what I'm talking about.
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:16.800
Uh, you know, because I'm kind of it's not that they they can't understand it, but it's just like it's not about a part of their life, really.
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:17.599
You know what I mean?
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.080
So yeah, it was it was really funny.
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:27.520
At one point, I wish I could remember what the joke was, but you said something there were you had some moments that like he looked at his sister and was like, That's dad.
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.639
So I think there's a little bit of that.
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.479
That he was like, Oh yeah, my family's lived this moment.
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:35.280
Okay, good.
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:35.680
Okay.
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:37.039
You know, that's good to hear.
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:42.400
So, and what I loved about it is, I mean, obviously it's the Opry, which is so iconic.
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:47.199
And I love when comedy's brought into the Opry, you know, and it's a variety show.
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:47.840
Right.
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.479
But I just love that, like, it's rare these days that I see a comedian live.
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:53.520
I hate to say this.
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.840
I I actually, gosh, I can't believe I'm gonna say this to a comedian.
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.560
I recently said I don't want to go to comedy shows anymore.
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:01.280
What?
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:02.319
What why?
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:03.520
You're like exit station.
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:04.879
No, no, what?
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:07.759
Because I get so disappointed.
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:16.080
I go to the show because I follow on social media, and then I go to the show, and it's so different from what's out there on social.
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:17.360
Like well, what do you like?
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:18.400
That's the question though.
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:19.840
Like, who are you going to see?
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:25.759
Are you going to see if you're going to see like oh you want me to tell you?
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:26.479
Yeah.
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:26.879
Yeah.
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:27.280
Yeah.
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:27.599
Yeah.
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:28.960
Okay, I'm gonna tell you.
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:29.360
Okay.
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.039
This is when I get canceled.
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.560
Um before she even gets famous.
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:35.759
Oh, well, whatever.
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:36.960
Nikki Glacer.
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.080
I'm sorry, Nikki.
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:38.960
I'm sorry.
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:47.680
I've been in Nikki's corner from like the beginning, but like went to a show recently and I and they almost moved me to the front row.
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.360
They were like, hey, we've got a seat in the front.
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:50.240
You want to go to the front?
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:50.479
Yeah.
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:51.599
I thought it might do it.
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:57.520
But then I got scared because one time I was on a show, on a TV show, that they moved me to the front, and then your faces you make get on the YouTube.
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:58.159
Yeah, it's not good.
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.759
So I was real glad because I was like, What is this?
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:03.439
This is inappropriate humor.
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.719
And I kind of realized that I might be a little more conservative and old than I thought I was.
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:07.439
Right, right, right.
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:08.080
You know?
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:09.759
So I that's kind of what I mean.
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:13.120
It's like sometimes it's like so you like a like cleaner.
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.319
I mean, I didn't know that about myself.
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:23.519
That's it's like it it just it, yeah, like when you get to a certain age, you start hearing things different.
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:29.759
Um, like the music, even like now the music that I listen to is still the music from the 90s.
00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:30.399
Oh, yeah.
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:33.279
But like I'll listen 90s, early 2000s.
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.439
But I'm listening to it and I hear it different.
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:40.319
Especially like when I like when I think about like my with my kids.
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:40.720
Yeah.
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:42.720
I'm like, uh, what I you know what I mean?
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.240
Like, uh, can they listen to this?
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:45.120
You know what I mean?
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:52.879
Like, uh it but back then it was just like it, I guess it was just like, oh, this is just just harmless music.
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:53.839
Um you know what I mean?
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:54.800
Like, I don't know.
00:04:55.120 --> 00:05:03.519
You know the one that came on my car radio the other day that I had this moment of what you're thinking about where I was like, and I'm just singing every word as if we were right back in 1995.
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:05.680
It was salt and peppa here.
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.319
What a man, what a man.
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:08.879
Yeah.
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.199
And I'm singing along by myself, and I thought those are some wild lyrics.
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.920
I don't that I should have been listening to that.
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:22.240
Yeah, those are some wild lyrics, especially like when you think about the age you were probably listening to it.
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:23.040
Yeah, yeah.
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:26.399
You just hear things different the older you get.
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:31.439
I never thought I'd be saying stuff like this, but no, but here we are.
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:32.319
You're a dad.
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.279
Yeah, and I'm an aunt, and uh it's different.
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:44.560
Now I'm like, as I'm just like rocking out some of those lyrics, I thought, well, if my niece was singing these in the car right now, I'm What are you singing?
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:45.680
What are you saying?
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.319
Uh yeah, but also I knew every word.
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:49.040
Exactly.
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.600
And you well, nobody's around.
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:52.639
I'll go ahead and listen to it.
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:53.439
Nobody's around.
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:55.199
But that's what I did.
00:05:55.279 --> 00:06:02.160
I loved that about your comedy that I just felt like it it really did, like it worked for me, it worked for him.
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:03.360
It was so great.
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.360
I mean, the whole audience was into it.
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.000
So you're originally from Nashville.
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:09.439
Born and raised.
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:10.480
You're an OG.
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:11.519
I mean, that's rare.
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:20.240
I know that which is, you know what was weird is like um coming up, it would be rare to hear somebody say that they weren't from Nashville.
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:21.040
Yeah.
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:26.959
So now it's like, now you're like, if you hear someone say they're actually from Nashville, it's rare.
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.439
That's so that's so weird to me.
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:31.360
That's so weird to me.
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.959
It's actually weird, even I've only been in Nashville 20 years.
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.079
I moved in 2006.
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.680
Okay, you you you're in Nashville.
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:38.959
It's a long time, you know.
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.360
It's like most of my adult life I've called Nashville home.
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.360
It's always been my spiritual home, I say.
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:50.000
But I think even for me, I think about the changes in how many people come from all over now.
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:55.199
So I do think it must be weird for y'all that we're like, you were here when you're like, hey, wait a minute, what's happening?
00:06:55.439 --> 00:07:02.720
Yeah, I mean, I think about like when I moved, I mean, when my wife moved here, she I mean, she went to school.
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.839
She used to always talk about how slow the city was.
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:06.720
Like that was her thing.
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:07.600
Where's she from?
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:08.319
Detroit.
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:09.680
Oh, that's a change.
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:10.399
It is a change.
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:11.439
I love Detroit though.
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:16.560
But it's it's now it's like somebody moving from Detroit to Nashville now.
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.720
The the it's the change is not as as strong as it was back then.
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:25.839
It's it's yeah, like Nashville is moving a lot faster than I'd probably like it to move.
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.199
Um I'm so used to I don't recognize the city anymore.
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:30.079
I still love it.
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.800
It's so weird, in that's not the same.
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:33.920
It's not the same.
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.800
And I always say, like, I can be here for new Nashville.
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:37.680
There's some good in it.
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:38.399
It is.
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.199
But I also get to mourn what we don't have anymore.
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:42.800
Oh, that's a good way to put it.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.160
You know, like it's okay, like for us to we can be sad and happy.
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:46.480
Yeah.
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:48.079
You don't have to be either or.
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:55.199
I wish that I had taken pictures every year from the same place of a skyline.
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.920
I know somebody's done it, chat's got it or whatever, you know.
00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.120
But like, I wish I had my own.
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:00.480
Because it's so different now.
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:01.040
Crazy.
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:06.800
Like it doesn't remember the um, what was the building that they used to uh light up?
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:08.480
They used to spell words.
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.079
It's over by NES.
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:11.279
Oh my gosh, yeah.
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:12.079
Do you remember that?
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.160
They used to spell words with with the building.
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:15.519
Yeah, they stopped doing that.
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:16.879
They did stop doing that.
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:18.399
Yeah, it was little things.
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:19.199
Yeah.
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:24.560
Okay, what's your what's your biggest uh miss?
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.040
Like what do you miss the most in old Nashville?
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.800
Um probably Operland.
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:32.879
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.039
Hey, you might have some inside scoop on this.
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.200
Is Nate doing something?
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:40.000
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:46.240
And and before I tell people, like I say Nate as we're as if we're friends, we're not, but everybody, everybody thinks we know Nate.
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.480
But you're um, you know, you're on Nate Land.com.
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.480
Like if you want to find your stuff, you're there.
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:55.759
And I was asking you earlier about like what this means.
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.320
I was like, as a comedian, are you like signed?
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.519
Are you because I like how Nate's like, here are my friends.
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:01.919
Uh-huh.
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:02.720
It's awesome.
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:03.840
Yeah, he's great.
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:06.080
Yeah, man, he's great with that.
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.200
He he um he just gets it, man.
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:12.320
Like, is it's hard to make it in comedy.
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:18.000
So he he doesn't mind like pulling people up and and helping people.
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:19.919
Is it it's he loves doing it.
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.440
That's what he does.
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:22.799
It's incredible.
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:30.879
It really does come through, and like every time I hear him talk about what he's doing around Nashville and with other people and artists and comedians, it's like it's so real.
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:34.399
So when you said Opera Land, I was like, wait, are the rumors true?
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:34.639
Yep.
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.159
Is Nate gonna try to bring it back?
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:37.840
Uh he's gonna do Nateland.
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.519
Nataland is gonna oh my god.
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.039
Yeah, that's gonna happen.
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:41.919
Yeah.
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.559
Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be a good time.
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:48.960
Like um, it's a lot closer than we than a lot of people know.
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.360
So yeah, it'll it's gonna happen.
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:52.639
That's exciting.
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:52.960
Yeah.
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.120
Because Opera Land, I think you're right.
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.960
That's probably like a lot of people, like if we were like live right now, they'd be hearting you.
00:09:59.039 --> 00:09:59.360
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:00.799
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.799
Um is like that is such a miss that we don't have that anymore.
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:10.639
You said 20 years, so you probably weren't, I don't think you caught when it was like a downtown mall.
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:13.679
Yeah, that used to be nice too.
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:14.960
Downtown mall.
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:15.519
Shut up.
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:16.639
Yeah, we have one.
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.360
They said they were gonna bring it back, but they never have.
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.159
I like that stuff on Fifth and Broadway now.
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:23.360
That little area.
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.600
At first, it really freaks me out and read me the wrong way.
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.840
When I saw an Apple store downtown, I was like, something has gone awry here.
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:30.320
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.320
I got real mad before I got happy.
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:33.679
It's a Nike down there.
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:34.399
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.360
I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what's happening?
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:38.240
But it's nice though, right?
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:38.720
It's nice.
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:39.200
It is nice.
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:40.080
I can't lie, it's good.
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:40.720
They did a good job.
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:45.840
It kind of reminds me of like Dallas.
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.679
Uh they got a spot in Dallas like that.
00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:49.519
A little food court area.
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.960
Yeah, it's a really it was a good, they did a good job on that.
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:56.720
So it's kind of like, okay, well, it's not a mall, but it's kind of a good vibe for downtown.
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.200
It is, it it does, it fits Nashville Park.
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:00.240
So that's what I mean.
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:09.679
Like, I I'm I I like that that new part of Nashville, but it's just like it's still I miss the old Nashville.
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.039
I know, me too.
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.279
I love following that social channel that's like Nashville nostalgia things.
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.720
I mean, it's I don't know what it's called.
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:17.759
I'll send you a link.
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:18.320
Please.
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:19.120
Because it's great.
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:25.360
And they do like they'll do a okay, this restaurant, like Nashville, midtown.
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:25.679
Yeah.
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:27.759
And I, you know, people would be like, there's one in Green Hills.
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:29.039
I'm like, it's not the same.
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:29.679
It's not.
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:31.679
Or like when you're saying Cantina Laredo.
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:32.320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.600
You know, like you can put anything in the same spot and it's not the same.
00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:36.399
It's not the same.
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:37.120
It's not the same.
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:37.360
Yeah.
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:38.879
So it's fun to see those things.
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:39.759
Yeah, yeah.
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.200
I miss the good old days.
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:41.759
I know.
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:42.080
Yeah.
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.240
People are like, why are y'all so sad on a Monday?
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:44.720
We're not.
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:46.000
We're not.
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:46.799
We're fine.
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.200
Just just taking it back, you know.
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:50.320
Nostalgia is good.
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:50.799
I like it.
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:51.519
I like going back.
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.600
It's like, it's good to kind of be grateful.
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:54.000
Yeah.
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:55.600
And remember where you are.
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:59.279
Um, but listen, back to you because I have so many questions.
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:00.000
Oh, yeah.
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.399
And because you're doing so much now.
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.240
Like you've got a special coming up.
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:04.720
I do.
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:05.919
October 18th.
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:07.519
October 18th, 3 p.m.
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:13.679
at the uh um the historic Woolworth Theater downtown Nashville.
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:19.279
Uh it'll be uh Nate Land present, so Nate's producing it, and it's it's gonna be a good time.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:20.399
It's gonna be a real good time.
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:21.440
Yeah, I can't wait.
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.039
It is locked in my calendar.
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:23.519
Thank you.
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.159
And yeah, I mean it's gonna be so fun.
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.039
I I just and I mean you're doing that.
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.279
You've got um you've got some stuff.
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.200
You've done the Opry now for a few years.
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.000
They need to have you more Opry listen up.
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.360
But yeah, I think you were such a good, like it was just so much fun in the middle of that.
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.399
Um, you've opened for so many good people.
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:45.120
Yeah, I have.
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:45.919
I've been blessed.
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:54.159
Yeah, I've I've had um Kevin Hart, uh Dick Gregory, that was probably the most historic one.
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.399
I yeah, yeah, that was crazy.
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:57.120
Did I see this?
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:58.960
Arsenio Hall's on that list too.
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:00.879
Yeah, I got to work with Arsenio.
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:08.480
Funny thing about Arsenio, like um, when he when I I hosted for him, my aunt, she lives in Ohio.
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:11.919
She's older, so she doesn't really know technology.
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.679
She uh they're gonna say that about us in my key.
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:17.039
I know, right?
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:18.159
They really are.
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:33.200
But I posted that I was gonna be opening for Arsenio, and my aunt, she uh she saw the post, and uh bless her heart, she she just started talking on the post, commenting on the post like she was talking to Arsenio.
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.600
She was like, Arsenio, this is Gail Fuller.
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.440
I'm Mike's father, I'm Mike's aunt.
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.200
Uh if you could please send an autographed picture.
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:45.679
And uh, I was like, she he'll never see this.
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.840
But what was cool, I showed it to him.
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:49.039
He laughed so hard.
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:52.159
And then he he autographed uh a picture, yeah.
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:53.919
And yeah, I took it to him.
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:56.080
Yeah, yeah, it was crazy.
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.679
I love kind of when the old people start taking to the Facebook in the wrong way.
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:01.440
It's great, it's actually so great.
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.039
It's gonna be us, and so I'm scared to say this out loud.
00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:07.679
Also, like you know the ones where you know they're in the wine a little bit.
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.519
You know, yeah, yeah.
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:12.320
Like there should be a breathaliser on social media.
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:13.200
I'm just saying.
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:17.360
So you can so you can know before you like okay, I'm not gonna comment on that.
00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:18.320
They've been drinking a little bit.
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:18.720
Right.
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:21.440
Like, don't text and drive, don't drink in Facebook.
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:22.559
These should be rules.
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:23.840
Yeah, don't, yeah.
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.320
I I think that, but that should apply for everybody.
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.440
Like, I don't I don't think you should drink and text.
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:31.279
I agree.
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:34.639
I've actually really not good.
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:38.799
Yeah, I I uh I was in Philly this past week.
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:52.720
Um, one of my mentors is uh in Philly, and one day, I don't know, I was uh I had drank and uh I saw him, he posted something on on Facebook, and it sounded like he was sad.
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:57.600
So I just I was trying to just text him, hey man, just checking on you.
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:10.879
That's what I meant to text, but it ended up being like two paragraphs long of me just like, hey man, I remember the first time I uh I I you you breathed life into my my you you just you inspire me so much.
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.440
Well you went for it.
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.480
And then you know, when you sober up, like you you go back and look at it.
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:23.519
I was like, uh so then I had to text him again, hey man, um sorry about yesterday.
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:29.919
Just had a little bit too much of drink and just wanted to check on you and see how you were doing, but he was cool with it.
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:34.799
I also like the the the person that you are, you've had a little too much drink, is like a really kind person.
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:35.759
I don't know.
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.200
I don't know about that, but it was just I think I just get emotional.
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:40.480
It's like same.
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:40.799
Really?
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:41.279
Same.
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:43.600
Yeah, yes, yes, for sure.
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:52.240
I hate the like if I've had a little, you know, too many vodka soda cranberries as white girls do at losers, um the next morning.
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:54.799
I'm like, I don't want to look at my phone.
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:56.080
Who did I call?
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:57.600
You worried about dude.
00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:59.200
I have the worst habit of calling.
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.200
I have one ex-boyfriend, unfortunately.
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:03.679
Recently, I'm embarrassed to see.
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:04.399
Yeah, yeah.
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.480
Well, he just looks at the phone and he's like, Oh, she's in the vodka sauce.
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:10.320
Like, so bad.
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:10.960
Yeah, okay.
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.000
I know what it is.
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:14.639
I know, telling all my secrets to that.
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:16.159
At least he knows though, right?
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:17.919
Yeah, that's he knows, yeah.
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:20.639
And at least every time I also know, I'll be embarrassed.
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:22.639
I don't have a drinking problem for anyone out there.
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:27.200
Like this is a rare occurrence, but still, uh yeah, emotional.
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:28.720
The nostalgia.
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:30.960
Okay, so Kevin Hart.
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:35.279
What's the funniest thing that you like?
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:44.159
Do we really Kevin Hart seems like he is the kind of guy that when you're out there and you get to know him, it's even funnier in real life.
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.440
Is it yeah?
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:51.360
Um so I haven't seen Kev like in person in years.
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:58.960
Um but like it was always a good time, and then he has a like a crew with him, and they're all funny too.
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:01.360
So it's just it's just constant jokes.
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:06.720
Like just man just lives a just a life full of laughs, and that's a good thing.
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:07.279
I love it.
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:08.880
Yeah, I also love that he has a crew.
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.720
Yeah, I love that about Chelsea Handler.
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:12.559
She's got a crew, she's crazy.
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:17.359
So um one of the first people to take me on tour, uh Lonnie Love.
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.039
Yeah, so that's my big sister.
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:25.920
So she uh one of the first people, her and my my boy Rafi May.
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:26.880
Rest in peace.
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:28.799
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.400
Oh man, yeah, you have been on some tours.
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.160
I have been blessed, yeah.
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:34.799
Yeah.
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:37.759
Do you do any local shows like Zany's or yeah?
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:41.839
Zany's is my home club, so I'm always in Zanies, like uh working out stuff.
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:48.160
Mondays, we do new material Mondays or Nightland Live, and then you know, shows during the week.
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:49.359
Okay, this makes sense.
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:52.640
Now I feel bad that I some it's hard to keep up with everything in this zone.
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:59.599
I was just telling somebody this because we just put an events calendar on my website, and I'm gonna tell you, but we'll go back to Zany's for a second.
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.119
But here's the reason I got all hot and heavy and obsessed about this events calendar.
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:05.200
Remember when it was easy to find things?
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:12.240
Yep because it was like chronological order calendars on like Stubhub or whatever, and then everybody started just like, oh, it's pay to play.
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.400
Sponsored this, sponsored that.
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.680
And I couldn't find what I wanted.
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.640
So I just was like, we'll build our own.
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.920
And I'm real adamant about it being truly chronological.
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:27.519
You cannot pay, you you can pay to highlight yours.
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:27.920
Right.
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:29.200
You don't get to put it at the top.
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:29.920
No, no, no.
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:32.240
No, because I need to know what's happening on each day.
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:37.680
And could but I was saying to the guy who's developing the website, I was like, because he doesn't live here.
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.400
I said, no, like Carlos, you don't understand.
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.200
We have so many events every day.
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.680
There's so much going on in this town, which is amazing.
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:52.880
But now this makes sense about zany's on Mondays because sometimes that line is crazy for the lab.
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:53.839
Is that what it's called?
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:55.920
I mean, it's cool that we have that.
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:56.559
Yeah.
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.640
Um, so they I guess the lab has been here in three or four years.
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:01.279
Yeah.
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:07.279
Um, it's you know, it's perfect, it's an extra room to to get more stage time in.
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.240
And uh it's uh it's always a good time in there for me.
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:11.519
I I always enjoy it.
00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:16.240
It's you know, it seats about a hundred people, so it's a nice intimate uh show.
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:16.880
That's good.
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:17.359
Yeah.
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:25.920
Well, and I think it's an awesome thing for people to know when you come to town, like if you don't live here, even if you do, you're gonna get good talent.
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:29.599
Just like if you go downtown, you're gonna find good music.
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:30.319
Exactly.
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:31.119
Same thing.
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:33.759
Like you are not gonna go there and be disappointed.
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:40.079
No, comedy is uh um the art of comedy in Nashville has like is booming right now.
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.799
Um, you know, we got a lot of good big names in town.
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:50.559
Um, of course, Nate, uh Dusty Slay, uh Derek Stroop moved here.
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:53.039
Um we got uh John Chris.
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.359
There's a lot of big names here.
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.240
This uh Kathleen Madigan lives here.
00:19:58.480 --> 00:19:59.599
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:02.079
We got a lot of Angela Johnson.
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:02.880
That's a lot.
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:03.680
Yeah.
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:13.599
And it's awesome because what that means is you go to Zany's to see somebody that comes through town, you know, which by the way, Zany sells out as fast as the Bluebird Cafe these days.
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:14.079
They do.
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:15.759
Yeah, you can't sleep on it.
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:22.000
That's why when you said you had this, you were like, Yeah, my my show, my special is gonna be October 18th, and I almost had to like stop talking.
00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:26.079
I was like, wait, but I'm gonna miss my tickets if I don't get them right now.
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:27.359
And I love that.
00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:29.599
I love that there's such a demand for it.
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:38.480
But what I also love is that you don't show up late to a Zany show because you know for sure that the opening act is gonna be good.
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:40.960
Yeah, that's and that's how it should be.
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:41.359
Yeah.
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:41.759
Right.
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:48.160
I mean, um, you know, you still get those because you gotta give people a chance, right?
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:57.279
And sometimes, and sometimes the you know, for whatever reason, you may not be on your game, but mostly um openers are kind of strong.
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:05.119
They they a lot of the the in the headliners now, they want a a strong opener because they you know it makes them work.
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:06.079
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:13.920
But the way I just got anxiety when you started talking about stand-up comedy, like I really it is to me has to be the hardest thing to ever do.
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:21.839
I I would agree, but I'm um, I do it, but I know you're you can say you're biased, it's okay, but I'm gonna say it as someone who grew up singing.
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:22.559
Oh, okay.
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:24.640
I don't think there is anything harder.
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:25.839
There can't be.
00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:28.480
The nerves, like, what if people don't laugh?
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:33.279
You gotta tell a joke for the first time and hope that because you know by fire.
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:34.640
That's the only way to know.
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:35.359
Yeah.
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:38.640
Like, it's really the only way to know, right?
00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:39.680
You try it out.
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:40.799
And it's scary.
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:54.960
And I mean, but you know, after a while, you you hope that you build, you know, the goal is to build up enough good shows where you're you're okay with hey, this may or may not work, but you know, it's okay if it doesn't.
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.119
One thing for me, I've never learned anything from having a good show.
00:21:59.359 --> 00:21:59.759
So like.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:02.000
Like it's never such good advice.
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:02.960
You know what I mean?
00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:06.960
Like, I I've never, it's only been the bad shows.
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:08.400
The worse the better.
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:11.039
The worse the show is, the more I learn.
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:16.559
Like, is I mean, from you know, how to deal with being booed, heckled.
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:17.039
Oh.
00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:20.240
You know, if it never happened, how would you deal with it?
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:21.359
No adversity.
00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:23.759
You know, you get atrophy.
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:26.480
But it's so hard.
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:36.960
I always say I want to get to a place in my life where I have one the free time to do it and to the the bravery to go take like a stand-up class.
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:37.759
You should.
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.640
I I mean, I think it's an incredible thing to do.
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:44.000
And I consider myself a pretty brave person.
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:46.880
Like, I'll almost try everything once.
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:48.480
You know, be like, yeah, sure, why not?
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:50.480
Uh live octopus, sure, I'll eat that.
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:51.440
Really have you try it?
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:52.960
Yeah, I don't recommend doing it twice.
00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:53.519
It's real bad.
00:22:53.759 --> 00:22:54.000
Really?
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:54.880
You did live octopus.
00:22:55.200 --> 00:23:00.160
I did it because I was I was in Korea and they were real excited about this.
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:01.279
So I did it.
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:02.000
Exactly.
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:04.240
No, I think it's not a good thing to do.
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:06.880
Um, but you have to try things once.
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:08.960
I I have so many questions about that.
00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:11.599
Like Yeah, like does it wiggle on its way down?
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:12.559
It does.
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:14.240
Oh my god.
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:17.359
Does it like grab your face while you turn a no?
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:19.440
Cause it's like, I have a video of it.
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:20.960
I'm I'm gonna send you that too.
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:23.279
It it's awful because it's still moving.
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:28.960
And I don't know, there's somebody out there that's gonna like tear me apart in the comments because they're gonna be like, it's not actually live.
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:30.960
I I don't know, and I don't want to know the details.
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:31.839
It's still moving.
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:32.319
Oh, okay.
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:33.119
That's enough for me.
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:34.160
But it's still moving.
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:37.599
Because that's just like all sorts of wrong.
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:38.480
You know?
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:40.880
Well, I mean, if it's not a I don't know.
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:44.480
The like I uh the reason I ask that because you ever see those squid shots?
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:46.400
You see people taking squid shots.
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:50.640
So they'll the have you seen it?
00:23:50.880 --> 00:24:00.160
Like they'll they'll dunk a uh like a squid, a live squid in some kind of I don't know what it is, in a cup and just start eating it.
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:02.480
I just want to know why we're doing these things.
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:02.960
I don't know.
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:04.960
Like do you remember that show Fear Factor?
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:05.680
Yeah, yeah.
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:06.559
Joe wrote me.
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:09.599
I wanted to be on that show.
00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:10.000
Really?
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:11.039
Yeah, I really did.
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:11.440
Uh uh.
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:13.519
I was so like convinced I could do it.
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:21.119
And this is when you realize back to that age thing, we come full circle because at 25, I was like, I'll do anything for a million dollars.
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:21.839
Really?
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:28.000
At 45, my favorite game to play is how much money would I have to pay you to do that?
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:30.000
I don't want to do it myself.
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:34.720
She could get I could have never uh like fear effect.
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:36.160
I was always I'm scared of spiders.
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:37.519
Oh, and they love the spiders.
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:39.440
Yeah, well, I would have been out.
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:40.640
There's no way.
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:44.880
Like if you put a box on my head with spiders walking around, nah.
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:46.640
Okay, mine is mice.
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:47.519
Really?
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:54.720
Legit, every one of my friends is now laughing if they're still walking because I have severe, what I think they call moose phobia.
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:56.960
And so that would be mine.
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:57.920
Why would it be?
00:24:58.079 --> 00:24:58.480
That's weird.
00:24:58.559 --> 00:24:59.920
It's called mooseophobia.
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:00.960
I really think it is.
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:03.279
It should be musophobia, right?
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:04.400
Maybe I made that up.
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:08.000
Guess what?
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:09.279
We're not Dax Shepard.
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.720
We don't have a fact checker, so I'm gonna call it what I want.
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:16.160
Musophobia.
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:22.559
I would have I would have never, I would have never put that together.
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:24.160
No, and actually it could be wrong.
00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:26.160
So anyway, we'll just leave that one where.
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:28.400
Is that is that it's musophobia?
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:29.519
Musophobia.
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:32.160
Joe has checked in as our resonant fact checker.
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:33.119
Oh, I'm sorry.
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:34.079
I broke the fourth wild.
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:35.680
Do you have we do that here?
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:37.359
Okay, because I do it all the time.
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:38.240
Me too.
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:39.200
I like that.
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:43.440
Um, I don't like a real staged environment in life, really.
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:44.319
You know?
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:45.119
Just go.
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:52.000
I was just sitting here thinking this is so much fun that I feel like you got this show called Life of Dad.
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.799
I'm not a dad, but anytime y'all want an aunt to come on the show, I'm in.
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:57.200
I'm down.
00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:57.839
Definitely.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.720
That'd be so fun.
00:25:58.880 --> 00:25:59.359
It would be.
00:25:59.440 --> 00:25:59.599
Yeah.
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:01.440
I want to come sit with the dads and give advice.
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:02.960
They are hilarious.
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:08.480
Tom Rouse, Lee, uh, Lee Kimbrell, they are absolutely hilarious.
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.519
Uh like I think that people should check it out, me included.
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:16.160
I was like, wait, I didn't know this existed because I'm not a dad, so maybe it's not my target Instagram.
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:17.680
It's not giving it to me on the algorithm.
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:20.559
But a lot of people think that though, but it it really is.
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:26.160
It's just it's it's about parenting from a dad's perspective.
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:28.799
So I mean, just kind of gets you in our heads.
00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:30.559
Yeah, but you could relate to it.
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:36.160
Well, I mean, like back to Sullivan relating to your comedy, like you said, like you know, you had some dad stories.
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:38.240
He hadn't lived it, I hadn't lived it.
00:26:38.400 --> 00:26:41.839
My 11-year-old niece hadn't lived it, but we were laughing so hard.
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:45.440
So, and you came on a show called That Nashville Girl.
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:47.440
Yeah, so you're that Nashville guy.
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:49.119
Yeah, the real deal.
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:49.680
Yeah.
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:54.960
Um, I have like two random questions for you on my little secret notes.
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:55.359
Okay.
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:57.039
Okay, here's the thing.
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:58.000
It's real fancy.
00:26:58.160 --> 00:26:59.279
We're fancy right here.
00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:03.599
But I wanted to just we're gonna finish this up with some fun.
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.079
Okay.
00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:04.960
Okay.
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:08.319
A Nashville Hill you'll die on.
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:12.720
Oh, that's a good one.
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:14.720
One that I would die on.
00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:26.640
Uh that North Nashville is the most unappreciated area in Nashville.
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:28.319
I agree with you.
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:29.440
Yeah.
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:30.079
Yeah.
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:31.839
That's such a good point.
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:34.400
I think you're gonna get a lot of love for that one.
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:34.720
Yeah.
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:36.000
I think that's real.
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:37.839
Yeah, I I love North Nashville.
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.240
Well, I mean, uh again, I'm being biased.
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:41.519
I grew up in North Nashville.
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:44.880
Yeah, but I do uh I feel like it's the most unappreciated area.
00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:45.759
Yeah.
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:47.039
I think that's true.
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:48.480
I think that's really true.
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:57.839
So what is something in Nashville that you like gets a lot of hype that you believe it's worth all the hype?
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.680
Um Randol Aper.
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.039
Also coming in strong with these answers.
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:16.960
Randolph is is definitely um it was funny because when I did my debut, uh I forget the the the guy that told me this.
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:18.559
Tall, he was taller than me.
00:28:18.880 --> 00:28:20.799
And you're tall, and for the record, I didn't know that.
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:21.279
You're tall.
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:21.839
How tall are you?
00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:22.559
Six's five.
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:23.359
Yeah, you're taller.
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:25.680
Yeah, but he was taller than me.
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:31.519
And um before I made my debut, I was on the side of the stage, he pulled me to the side.
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:33.119
He they were going on after me.
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:41.759
He pulled me to the side, he said, when you get in the circle, take a minute and just absorb everything that's happening.
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:44.240
Because that's only gonna happen one time.
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.079
So you gotta take it in when you do it.
00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:50.160
And uh that was such a good advice.
00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:57.839
It was because usually, you know, when I go on stage, I'm kind of focused on what's going on, what I need to do.
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:03.440
But to to be present in that moment, that was I I really appreciated that advice.
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:04.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:04.880
I love that.
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:07.039
Yeah, I think that's a really good answer.
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:08.400
I think people should remember that.
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:10.240
If you visit Nashville, check it out.
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:12.079
Like it's worth it's worth it.
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:12.640
Definitely.
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:18.160
It's worth leaving the the comfort zone of the you know, Broadway circle.
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:21.839
Like go get in a car, go out there, check it out.
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:23.119
Definitely, it's great.
00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:28.880
And then you can go to the, you know, go to the mall or whatever, but definitely check out uh grand old opera.
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:30.079
Yeah, for sure.
00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:31.519
Especially if Mike James is there.
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.559
Please do.
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:35.279
Okay, let's play a little who is funnier.
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:35.680
Okay.
00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:36.880
I'm gonna put you on the spot.
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:37.519
Are you ready?
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:38.000
Okay.
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:40.240
Arsinio or Chris Rock?
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:41.759
Uh Chris Rock.
00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:42.880
That was fast.
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:47.440
That one's hard for me though, because Arsenio is like childhood vibes, you know?
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:48.799
Me too, but yeah.
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:49.759
It's yeah.
00:29:50.160 --> 00:29:51.759
But you were there, okay.
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:54.400
Oh, I kind of think I know the answer on this one.
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:56.240
Chelsea Hanler or Lani Love.
00:29:57.920 --> 00:29:58.079
Girl.
00:29:59.440 --> 00:29:59.680
Yeah.
00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:01.039
All right, last one.
00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:04.240
Starting kind of where we ended where we started.
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:06.319
Nate Bargazzi or Mike James.
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:10.880
Oh.
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:14.880
I will go with Nate Bargassy, man.
00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:17.680
They they just uh and shout out to Nate too, man.
00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:24.799
He um he just uh got the Guinness Book World Record for the most tickets sold on a comedy tour ever.
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:25.680
Incredible.
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:28.240
And thank you for letting me be a part of it, Nate.
00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:29.039
I appreciate it.
00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:32.240
It was those arena tours were insane.
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:32.960
Insane.
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:41.519
Yeah, I missed it, and I'm really sad about that because a lot of friends saw the shows, and which like it's the most incredible thing for comedy to get that kind of attention.
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.119
It is, and for it to be such a good guy.
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:48.880
Such like gosh, I don't think people understand.
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:56.079
Like, I was I was telling this story on our podcast, and somebody commented the the comment was it caught me off guard.
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:04.640
But I I took my daughters to a football game in like Fairview, which is way out, and uh, so we got back kind of late.
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:07.680
I wanted to get the kids something to eat, so we stopped at Sonic.
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.920
I looked over, and Nate and his family were right next to me.
00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:18.079
And somebody was like, he's like, he just got the Guinness Book World Record, and he's still going to Sonic.
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:19.359
I'm like, that's that's who he is.
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:20.160
That's who he is.
00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:21.119
That's who he is.
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:21.920
Yeah.
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:25.039
I mean, also Sonic should probably call him now.
00:31:25.200 --> 00:31:25.839
Just a pain.
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:27.359
Like that'd be a great combo.
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:28.559
Yeah, that would be.
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:32.960
And while we're talking about Sonic, if you're listening, please put the cheddar bites in every state.
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:34.559
The cheddar bites are died.
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:35.200
I had those.
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:36.079
Yeah, because you know why?
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:37.039
They're like in two states.
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:37.680
Where are they?
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:38.319
Arkansas.
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:42.640
Next time you're in Arkansas, you make yourself go to a Sonic and get the cheddar bites with ranch.
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:44.160
I just left Little Rock.
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:44.960
That's probably all.
00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:46.160
Well, you gotta go back.
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:47.920
Gotta go back for the cheddar bites.
00:31:48.079 --> 00:31:49.440
For the cheddar bites.
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:53.359
This show is basically ADHD meets OCD every day.
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:54.480
And it's the most fun.
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:56.960
This is the perfect setup for me, then.
00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:58.240
You gotta come back.
00:31:58.319 --> 00:31:59.279
Like oh, whenever.
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:00.799
Come co-host like once a month.
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:01.359
Love to.
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:02.400
I'm so down for this.
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:04.480
This is not enough time, not enough jokes.
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:06.000
What a way to start the day.
00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:06.640
Yeah, this is fun.
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:07.519
Thanks for being here.
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:08.400
Thanks for having me.
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:11.440
Hey, y'all check out Mike James, Funny Mike James.

00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:16.960
Yeah.
00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:17.599
It's fine, man.
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:19.680
Funny man Mike James, check him out.

We'll see y'all in Nashville.
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:22.720

00:32:23.519 --> 00:32:24.079
See you later.
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:24.880
Thank you.
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:33.519
Sometimes a girl's gotta find her way on a room, free to room, make mistakes.
