Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Cody Ellen's podcast. This is Cody cast who
hosted up National Squares Friday nights on c Empty TV
and also, of course Danny Tanner, the Dad on Full
House and for many years host of America's Funny Videos.
He's done so many things over the years, comic as well,
comedian and travels around the country. So this cannot be
(00:20):
your first time to Nashville. Bob Saggett, right, no, no, no,
I come here often. Actually, when I'm getting ready to
do a special, I go to Zany's and I'll do
like six sets, and um, I've been performing here. I
did Bonaro a few years ago, and John it's funny.
I do like an hour. I kill myself to make
the people happy, and then stay most walks out as
a special guest, and he gets a bigger applause from
(00:43):
them that I could even dream of. They just stare
at his button. They go crazy, and I'm like, what,
I just included him in the end of the show
as a song, a little, small, little vignette and then
the guy gets all the cheer. It really makes me sad.
My daughters were in the audience too. That really embarrassed me. Yeah,
because people may not know this. Your stand up comedy
is a little different than the pop second we've gotten
(01:03):
to know on TV over the years. Yeah, because he
because back in the day. And I'm still doing Fuller House,
Fuller Houses on Netflix's last season. It's coming up. I've
actually only got one more show to shoot, which is
but I don't think it's ever gonna really go away.
I don't know the the original has never been off
the air in thirty years. It's always on the air somewhere,
(01:23):
which brings me to my next question. Whatever happened to predictability?
The Milkman, the paper Boy. That all sounds bad. That's
stranger danger. I don't know want I'm coming by my house.
There are some good things about the Milkman and the
paper Boy not having the frequent see of business. I
think we're safer, we want less people coming to the home. Right.
But but that show, Yeah, that was I was acting.
(01:46):
I mean, I've done a bunch of Broadway plays. I
played a Lutheran minister in one. I played a very
messed up guy who is kind of mental in a
show called The Drowsy Chaperone. The Lutheran Minister I was
in to God. And that's what they didn't know. It's me.
People didn't know that it was me because they only
you know, they pigeonhole you according to what you they've
(02:07):
seen you do. And I've been in people's living rooms.
I mean literally I break an enter but um. But
but with Full House, you know, and with the video show,
I you know, what was that to do? That was
thirty years old. Don't give a thirty year old to
top ten shows. That's the thing you don't do because
it goes to their head. There's nothing you can do
(02:28):
about it. All they do is work, and the ego
gets a little skewed. I want to cover that a
little bit. But let's go back to Full House real quick,
because you were my favorite character on the show. You really,
I know some people thought I was just a geeked
out dust buster. Well it's because your character was a
TV broadcaster on the show, and that's what I wanted
to be when I grew up. I was originally a
sportscaster and then then they made me a talk show
(02:50):
host Wake Up San Francisco, and I was like dreaming
of being in TV broadcasting and so and You're like
you saw it after everybody. No. I talked to my
wife and she said, no, Cody, is it's ridiculous. What? Yes,
she thinks you're just it. You're it on the scene here,
(03:11):
I'm trying what you're doing it? Look at this the
studio you got here? Fine? Would they had? I'm not
doing any saying anything the city as I'm pointing at
the console, I'm not. I'm not saying you've got beautiful wood.
I'm saying, you know, I'm a lumber jack in my
spare time. What will you miss about doing the actual
(03:32):
full house fuller house show? Is it gonna be hard
to say goodbye again? Uh no, because we we spent
thirty years being friends, and we all do see each
other and we never stopped seeing each other. So for
the twenty years it took to come back on the
air with a newer incarnation, it's really we just love
(03:52):
each other. We really helped each other. I mean, stay
most and Dave and I at different times in our
lives we all um. Dave and I lost sister's John
was on the verge. His sister, thank god got well.
So I mean, when it gets to that, you become
it is a weird family is thing. My family was jealous.
I used to have a joke I did it on
a Letterman once that when when my daughter, who is
(04:16):
one year younger than Ashley and Mary kay Doolson, Uh,
when I'd come home, she would smell the other kids
on me and think I'm cheating on her. That was
the That was the joke, and but it was true.
I mean, because I spent so much time doing that
show and the video show, and at seven o'clock at night,
if you're gonna host people getting hit in the crotch
at from seven to eight that's church night. You know
(04:36):
you're not or six to seven Central time, so you're
you can't really go try to be edgy. I mean
I would, I would say things you can't say, but
nobody knew because I was smiling. But I was also
I didn't know who I was at thirty years old
to me being sixty three now, which I look at
least forty four um with my clothes off. But but
(05:00):
I uh. And then I got a new video show
coming up. I saw this videos after Dark. Yeah, so
that'll be on the winter spring. They're saying, I'm saying,
what is this Game of Thrones? When I went to spring.
But the thing I'm here to talk about that I'm
most excited about and which I was gonna get to,
Oh you do you take over? Do? We want to
talk about America's funniest hold videos real quick though, because
(05:21):
they're also doing like a reunion thing right and December
eight that will be on ABC with Tom berger on
and Alfonso, which is crazy good and it's it's really
it's really nice. It was it's really a documentary about
the show because it's a show that's been on for
thirty two years is significant and this is the thirtieth anniversary.
But it starts its thirty second season soon with Alfonso
(05:43):
and I can't dance, don't ask me, but uh, but
I'm proud to be I'm proud to be part of
stuff that makes everybody happy and can and I love
doing family television or and I have done movie stuff
that's family oriented. But I also loved doing my edgy
stand up, which I've done forever. You know, I've done it,
(06:04):
and some specials were a little bluer than others, but
I've kind of cleaned up my act. My last special,
zero to sixty was fairly um. You know, it's like
a PG nineteen, you know A fifteen or anybody to
watch the South Park can watch my specials except for
one or two. Because there was there was no bleeping
going on. They wanted to run on our Comedy Central
and they did, but it was like a drinking game
(06:25):
of how many bleeps there were. But it was just
a word and that word is an exclamatory. Tom bergeron
interesting connection here. It's a good friend. Yeah, he's a
great guy. I think he's like one of the best
hosts on TV period, but until until Nashville Squares comes,
until that happens. But he was the floral host the
Hollywood Squares. He was the last host of that, and
(06:45):
so now you're the new host of Nashville. I was
offered Hollywood Squares back in the day. I was offered
not to put down Tom but I had come off
of the video shows, so they said, please host. They
didn't care for yet at the same time, please host.
I think John david Sin was before that, and then
before that was the original host. Who was I want
(07:07):
to say, uh, someone famous, Gene Rayburn or something, but
it wasn't. It was someone else that's famous, but John
Davidson and then and then Tom brought it back. But
I was offered to do it as the host. I
was off of the middle Square. Center Square. Probably should
have taken it. Will be was the center Square. Um,
but I didn't. I didn't want to do it because
(07:28):
you you wait around all day for the and then
you get one joke and it's kind of planned that
it's kind of written. Um. And then just not long
ago at all, they said, do you want to host
Nashville Squares? So wait, what do you have the wrong number?
And my agent said no, this could be really fun
because CMT has a lot of new programming. They're starting.
(07:51):
You're one of the first new shows. They have other
stuff as well, and of course they have the awards,
but they also I think that this could be a
real fun tongue in cheek combo of you and the
show and I and every every one of my specials.
I have country songs. I had one about my dog
and something that happened late at night. I had a
little a little bit of booze, a little bit of whiskey.
(08:13):
That's how you write a country song. And my dog
just came up and he put his head in my crotch,
and uh, and he was a low to ground. He
was a King Charles Spaniel and we lost him, which
is really sad. But he put his head in my
crotch and after about an hour I said, you gotta
stop that, boy. And but that's the tone of the song.
But it's not a dirty song. It's just a funny song.
(08:33):
It's something my dog did that he didn't know he
was doing. Um, and he's a dog and uh. But
I've always done country music, always loved country music, like
big time um. And so this was this weird fit
that was so natural. And the difference was with Nashville
(08:53):
Squares is it's on the fly, you know. And I
don't mean on your jeans because I'm a button fly
kind of guy. Because the zipper, you know what happens.
But but that's the kind of humor I'm allowed to do,
which can be some people. Oh that's I mean, how
dirty is that? That's really not? Um, that's any late
night talk show type of humor. Uh. Perhaps, but but
(09:16):
it's a free for all and it's um, I got
some game show copy to do, you know, Like if
they put you in that position, you'd be reading the
prompter and going okay, because I have to. I don't
know this business. I don't know what's going on. It's
it's business. And we got given away a car. You
got to say what kind of car it is? You know?
And it's all good. Um, But I got to be
(09:37):
there with so many country stars that I just and
people that I knew, like Billing Ball. I started with him,
and you know, he used to open for me and
just just crush and then I couldn't follow him. So
I tried to put that resentment into having in there.
But and uh, and unfortunate. Uh femster, feamster, femster. You
(09:59):
know what I'm talking about. She's the Google or you're
gonna go. I love her more than anything. She's amazing.
And Tanya Tucker, I mean legends, you know. I mean
she's a center square with her dog and everybody's got
a glass or whatever they needed it. And get Gary Busey,
he didn't need nothing. And so to do one episode,
how long does it take with this crazy it's pretty live,
(10:22):
So it's about an hour. I mean, so you're ending
up with a twenty two minute show for a half
hour show, and you're in some shows they went this
is an hour show, but they just had to trim
him down because other shows didn't feel like an hour.
So um, it's rich with comedy and and uh, the
people are so nice and Marie Osmond it was such
(10:44):
a good sport. I mean, there's things where you gotta
put your hand in a box if you're a contestant,
not a contestant but one of the stars. Uh, and
you put your hand in there and you gotta feel
describe what you're feeling. And there's a lot of ladies
that didn't want to do this. You don't go do
and and that. But but but to television show, they're
not gonna put like, you know, the dog poo you
(11:05):
know that would be that's not good unless it's been
d the de inoculated, the stung d de poisoned right right,
because the de poison will kill you. That would that'd
be terrible. And they go ahead. So how many friends
(11:27):
did you have in country music before all this? Obviously
have lots of friends. Now who are you have pals
and hung out with people? Postiddy as a friend, the
guitarist for Taylor Swift and um and Coosewindel who I
like very much, and a lot of country artists like me,
which is always like a dream to me. Um, people
(11:49):
that I look up to so much, and and and
I mean when I was on Letterman years ago, I
met Johnny Cash and uh, he that was I didn't
know what to say. I was in his presence, you know,
and he was kind of nervous, and he was Johnny Cash,
so you and I've heard he's the sweetest person in
the world. The backstage before Letterman and I was on
(12:10):
before him, and I brought up, you should be on
before me, and that was probably not a good idea.
And I got a little bit of a growl and
got half of that lip that went up, you know.
And then but he was incredibly nice, told me I
was funny afterward and all that. But um god, he
was amazed. I meant, we're arbison at at Letterman also,
(12:31):
and that guy, I mean, the voice never left him.
It was ridiculous. I went up to him, and you know,
he had a site problem, of course, and I went
up and I said, I just want to tell you.
In the green room there's like twelve people around him,
most of them his entourage. And when my oldest daughter
was four, then she's thirty two, now and um I said,
I just want to tell you, Mr Arbison, I really
(12:53):
respect you and I love your work so much. Such
a pleasure. Well, thank you so much. Then I went
right to the person next time. I said, that's want
to tell you, Mr Orbison, I think you're one of
the best. And then I went to the next person,
repeated the same speech over and he was He slapped
his leg, he was laughing hard. He wasn't like punching
it out of anger. Um So, I have a a real,
(13:16):
a real strong affinity to country music. I mean, I
write it, which is you know, it's anything with three chords.
I'm in. Would there be some music on the show
outside of the wild antics and these yeah stunts and stuff. Yeah,
I mean, Tanjit Tucker sang, a bunch of a bunch
of the artists sang, and um and I sing. I
(13:36):
sing a song which I can't reveal, but the dog
can't do that. I tried, but it's a vegan song.
It's called corn Corns My Meat. Um so. And I'm
that's a spoiler alert, by the way, because it really is,
because no one knows it's that. It's actually one of
the questions. I just gave away one of the answers,
(13:57):
So that's not good. I'm really crappy host that give
away all the answer. Here's the answer. Um and um,
I mean you will recognize everybody that's on there. Who
is your best friend? Like in the business in general?
Like who do you hang out with? I feel like
you have all kinds of celebrity friends. And you know,
it's funny. We people that have been around a long time.
(14:19):
And I think a lot of people will tell you this, Uh,
we don't the celebrities like the C word. It's like, uh,
it's a I mean country, it's it's it's you know,
it's like what is your talent? You know, because you
could be on a reality show and be a celebrity.
But um, but artists is kind of how I look
(14:39):
at the people I'm close with. Yes, that's celebrities of
sorts summer not But um, I have a lot of
dear friends in music. John Mayer's a really good friend,
like one of the best friends you can have. He's
a great guy. Um. Would he be a guy you'd
invite over to like a a Saggett family grill barbecue?
Oh for sure. There, I mean, we see each other
(15:01):
whenever we can um and we've had some crazy times
together and we've been friends about twelve years. I've also
I'm close with Ben Folds, who's a dear friend. And
Ben had a studio here. He was he had the
r C a studio here and then he decided that's
that's enough of that and moved to another part of
my career. But he you know, he can do any
(15:23):
kind of music that exists, but there recording here. There's
something real special about recording in Nashville. And he now
towards the world and plays amazing things. And I just
hosted his book talk. He wrote a great book about fireflies,
but it's really about his career and how where does
music come from? And where does where do artists come from?
(15:45):
And and you find out to disconnect with their families,
disconnecting relationships. The best people that I've met, that are
the most talented had there isn't one without a hardship
or many hardships. And I've had a lot of hard ships.
I've lost a couple of sisters, I lost my parents,
lost a lot of family um. And that's and had
(16:07):
no friends, all the normal stuff. But that's what did
you have friends growing up. No, you look popular though
I wasn't though I was a total geek. Uh and
maybe that's and I love radio, I love TV. I
love all that the same here, I mean it was music.
I love music. Yeah, I really found myself in that
world and was somewhat reclusive, I think, as a kid
until I took my first radio job at fifteen, and
(16:30):
so it kind of made me cool with your fifteen
I got on the air. Had your voice changed? No?
Not really? Oh my god, so your voice changed on
the air pretty much the old tapes of me, which
let's not dig up those from back in the day
that my mom still has in a trunk somewhere in
her attic um would be uh pre exactly. So Mickey
(16:53):
Mouse almost saw my video voices. Look out where does where?
How did you bounce back from those moments you talk
about sort of the hardships? I mean, people listening right
now are like getting something out there, and so where
do you find sort of that that piece? Did it
come from? Comedy? It came a comedy is a way
out comedy and and the highest of all forms to
(17:14):
me is music. I also love films, so I love
movies and what became a director. And but music is
that's it that hits the world. You can sing it
in any language. If it's great, if it's just great,
it hits the world. I mean, I remember being in
different places where I heard a song for the first time,
(17:37):
and I'm like, how is this possible that this song
got written? How does new music get written? How does
great art get done? How does a new movie come
out that you go and then you watch comedy. Comedy
is very popular right now and it's needed very much
because there's so much and some people deal with this
stuff that's gone on politically. I try not to because
(17:58):
I want to entertain all people and I want to
bring people together. Um that's kind of what I want
to do. Just by my tone. It's not something i'd
go and say, um, but but comedy for me, I
wrote a book called Dirty Daddy, which was it was
a New York Times bestseller and uh, and it was
(18:19):
about hardships. It was about, you know, and about things
that did wrong, you know, things I wish I hadn't
have done, which includes like drunk driving stuff like that,
you know, doing wrong things. When it comes to comedy,
where what's your method where does it start. When it
start with a joke that you get the line first,
you get an idea from observation. I used to be
(18:41):
more like that. I used to be like and when
I first started, when I was seventeen, one of my
first jokes was this, I have the brain of a
German shepherd and the body of a sixteen year old boy,
and they're both in my car and I want you
to see them. Now. That's just weird and it's wrong,
and it's kind of weird. It's like a zombie movie
(19:02):
kind of joke where it's a murderer, kind of I
don't know what it is. It's a bad guy. But
I was seventeen, so everybody laughed because I looked like
the clean kite kid next door. I had a comb
over at seventeen, you know where goggles that looked like
my glasses look like a good weld. So I was
bigger nerd than you, I promise. But I was moved
(19:22):
a lot. My dad was not navy, but he was
with a food company. So we were in Norfolk, Virginia,
which is a navy town. But and then Philadelphia, and
then California and then Phillip so I'm moving around. Did
you move around a lot? I didn't as a kid.
I was in one spot, South Carolina. But then when
I got that first radio gig, I started like bouncing
around a different cities in South Carolina, Colombia. It's a
(19:43):
nice town. It's a great place, but I had to
get out of there because I knew that my future
wasn't going to happen there. You could have been the
king of their But if you're in Nashville doing what
you're doing, it's kind of and this town is becoming
the mecca. It's crazy and it it deserves it. I
was riding around on last night with my wife and
(20:03):
am not a bird scooter. There's another one I was
don jump. I actually put it on my new TikTok
app and that's what I've got. I've got hundreds of
thousands of people. I've been on it for four days
and um, it's just I'm riding around and I did
something really dangerous no helmet, but I'm going like one
(20:23):
mile an hour. But I'm filming myself riding it and
it's hard to ride that thing one handed. Not smart
people don't do it. Were a helmet wear a bubble
wrap and uh, and I didn't get hurt. I was
really lucky because I had a lot of I'm here
for a lot of press and a lot of stuff, uh,
you know, to do promos for for what we should
(20:44):
be only talking about we we have, but Nashville Squares
is um and we and I love the fact that
CMT brought me to Nashville to shoot the promo properly, uh,
and to shoot stills properly and just being in Nashville.
And I love it here. I mean I truly And
my god, I mean, they're building this town. It's gonna
(21:06):
be like a little Chicago. I mean, it's it's intense.
What's happening growing, It's booming for sure. Um. Well, listen,
it's an honor to meet you, so cool to say
hi to you. And we have to watch every Friday
night on CMT eight seven Central. We'll give your wife
my best as well. I feel like, wait a minute,
you know, I'm just saying that's how it starts. I
(21:26):
think you've met her because she's a host. She does
something called the Travel Rock and she she's an influencer,
but she's also real well known and does a ton
of media. I didn't know we had met though, so
all right, I think you did. If not, I know
what met you, but I'm not sure you know. I
couldn't get it straight. All I knew I was jealous
because she said your name. That's all I do. You're
(21:49):
not even heard anymore. I'm still that guy. Well you
will you want to be because that makes you also
a better person in general. It makes you not an
aggressive person that can that can hurt people. Yeah, I
think you learn from your vulnerabilities and things that you
thought were weaknesses become like strength. That is absolutely true.
(22:10):
It's the story of Spider Man and every superhero. I
think in Marvel. To have kindness and to have to
want to help people, I mean, not many people wake
up unfortunately going I'd like to help someone today and
I don't do it. But it naturally happens. And it
can be as much as as pushing an older lady
down the stairs or no, wait a second, that's you
(22:32):
know what if she's evil, though, but if she's trying
to rob her family of all the money, no, you
still don't do violence. And she's a lady, but you
find out she's a man dressed as a lady. So
he's got to go to jail. But what I'm suggesting
is you help people. You do nice and by the way,
doing this helps people. You're doing You're entertaining people, You're
(22:54):
taking them into their day in a very pleasant way.
Trying to UM can ask one more question, please, UM.
When it comes to jokes today, I feel like everyone
I never answered how I make a joke. A lot
of it is just and then you can ask that
doll answer and you'll let it it out anyway. But
but the point is, this is the best part of all.
(23:16):
I know what's going on. I would cut the whole thing,
but UM, but I sometimes I used to have the
joke part first, and then it's kind of like Gracho
Marks millennials. He was famous, he was a movie star
but looking, but did a lot of puns what they
called dad jokes today. But he did it in a
way that was how sarcastic that you kind of it
(23:38):
cut through, so you couldn't really make fun of it
that well, except unless you say I don't like him.
But the point was, and Rodney Dangelville was a friend
of mine, and Richard Pryor was a friend of mine,
and I'm pretty fortunate and Don Rickles. So these are
guys all different ways of forming a joke. Rodney's attitude
was you come up with a setup and then you
have a punch line, or you have the punch line first,
and then what gets me to the punch line. So
(24:00):
I did a lot of jokes like that, a whole
lot and um, and they sometimes got a little bit
r rated. That's when I was eighteen, and then now
I'm more into storytelling, and then the joke comes by
itself to break the tension. And those are people that
are my friends that I respect. Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr,
There's a lot of comedians that are just really great
(24:23):
at telling a story and then there's humor in it.
And sometimes there's a lot of people doing stuff that
doesn't have a lot of humor in it. They're just
trying to make a point. I always feel like, I
like getting serious now, but I better be heading towards
something funny. And then there's a real payoff in that
because you're telling something honest and then you're getting a laugh.
(24:44):
And so both a lot of emotions happen at the
same time. Are there ever any sensitivities to people sort
of changing attitude. This stated, I mean, I just frankly,
a lot of people can't take a joke anymore. It's
a no I've had to change. There are songs that
I did, even in my last special is one in particular,
I performed in London and I was told that that
song offended some people, and I was like, but it's
(25:06):
not even dirty, but it was. It was just something,
and I said, I won't do it anymore. And I
listened to them because times, the times, they are changing,
and yeah, you gotta be PC And that's what I
respect about Chappelle and Bill Burr and a bunch of
people that are going, I don't care. This is what
(25:27):
I find funny. Um. And I'm not hurting anybody. I'm
not trying to spread negative stuff. I'm I'm a little
more careful. Uh. And I still have jokes. Here's a
bunch of jokes that I can't say anymore, you know,
or like that. You know? Um, And they're not dirty,
they're just they're just they crossed that line of offending people.
(25:52):
And I used to be more misogynistic in my humor
because I was on entourage a bunch of times. So
that was a piece of my personality. That was a
jew joke. I was, people don't realize when you make
a statement, that's the joke. The statement isn't that you
really are chauvinistic or racist or my oh my god.
I don't even go in that area because I don't
(26:14):
believe in it. Because when I when I see Dave Chappelle,
we just hug each other. I've known him for thirty years.
We and we just start talking about why is the
world like this. I don't understand why the world's like this?
But the reality is we're all different and come from
you know, different shades and different types of people, and
we've got to find a way to find humor in
(26:35):
our daily reality. I like mov I like people or
top no, I I agree with you. I mean, it's
we've got to relax. Well, there's a commonality. We're all
human beings. And yes, some people are nicer human beings
than others, and the hurtful ones we stay away from
(26:56):
or report calling that one one. But um, I just
think that people are We don't want to go back
to censorship of like arresting Lenny Bruce, Lenny Bruce Millennials
and gen X. He was very very famous comedian. He
ket he kept getting arrested, you know, for saying what
he wanted to say, and then he got obsessed with
(27:18):
the getting arrested and that's not good. But anyway, you
have another question about jokes. But to say, please tell
you your wife? I said, Hi, I will okay, Well,
it gets more awkward by the minute. Please tell your wife,
I said, Hi. It's almost like uh. Alex Trebeck on
Saturday Night Live with Will Farrell and Darryl Hammond and said,
(27:41):
your mother, would you know that? It's like, please tell
your wife? I said, Are you married? I'm not. I'm gay.
I have a partner. We're about to get married at
some point. That's exciting. It's very exciting. Um, so that'll
how long you've been together? Three years? That's a long time.
It is a long time. Yeah, Especially Gay World, that's
like it's like dog years almost you multiply by seven.
(28:03):
Gay World is a new place they're building in Disneyland.
Is Yeah. It's right next to the Millennial Falcon from
the Star Wars. It's beautiful. Everybody's falcon there. That's a falcon.
It's a millennium. Sure, there's the millennial or millennium millennial
because only threety year olds are allowing five year old.
(28:25):
I'm happy for you, thank you, and so you you
have an anniversary coming up? Um, no anniversary. Uh, I
wouldn't know when it was because I'm still I'm still
a dude. I may be gay, but i'm a dude still,
so I don't remember annimratries. You're gay, you're you're soil dude.
Still are you making plans to transition? Yeah, no, I'm not.
I'm still Why do people think that, know that they
(28:49):
think if someone's gay, that they're automatically going to go
through a Caitlyn or that they want to be feminine
in some way like it's not that's just I think
it's a misconception. See, I would skip the gay and
go right to transitioning. That's what I'm thinking of doing. Well, Bob,
if you do transition, I feel like you'd make a
beautiful woman. Thank you. Yeah, I've been dressed as one before.
I've done a lot of drag work because I had to,
(29:11):
because some working actor, you end up in drag no
matter what you do. And uh, I'm hoping I mean,
there's a there's a future. Okay, good, all right, We'll
give your wife my best love this combo. That's a
good cutting point. That was a good you can get
five minutes out of that. Thank you for having me
on of course, Nashville Squares November. Thanks for listening to

Cody Cast. Follow Cody right now at Cody Allen on Twitter, Instagram,
and Facebook. Care Cody on hundreds of radio stations every day,
and watch Cody on twenty this weekend Saturday and Sunday
and eight Central on CMT. Bye for now,
This is Cody Ellen's podcast. This is Cody cast who
hosted up National Squares Friday nights on c Empty TV
and also, of course Danny Tanner, the Dad on Full
House and for many years host of America's Funny Videos.
He's done so many things over the years, comic as well,
comedian and travels around the country. So this cannot be
(00:20):
your first time to Nashville. Bob Saggett, right, no, no, no,
I come here often. Actually, when I'm getting ready to
do a special, I go to Zany's and I'll do
like six sets, and um, I've been performing here. I
did Bonaro a few years ago, and John it's funny.
I do like an hour. I kill myself to make
the people happy, and then stay most walks out as
a special guest, and he gets a bigger applause from
(00:43):
them that I could even dream of. They just stare
at his button. They go crazy, and I'm like, what,
I just included him in the end of the show
as a song, a little, small, little vignette and then
the guy gets all the cheer. It really makes me sad.
My daughters were in the audience too. That really embarrassed me. Yeah,
because people may not know this. Your stand up comedy
is a little different than the pop second we've gotten
(01:03):
to know on TV over the years. Yeah, because he
because back in the day. And I'm still doing Fuller House,
Fuller Houses on Netflix's last season. It's coming up. I've
actually only got one more show to shoot, which is
but I don't think it's ever gonna really go away.
I don't know the the original has never been off
the air in thirty years. It's always on the air somewhere,
(01:23):
which brings me to my next question. Whatever happened to predictability?
The Milkman, the paper Boy. That all sounds bad. That's
stranger danger. I don't know want I'm coming by my house.
There are some good things about the Milkman and the
paper Boy not having the frequent see of business. I
think we're safer, we want less people coming to the home. Right.
But but that show, Yeah, that was I was acting.
(01:46):
I mean, I've done a bunch of Broadway plays. I
played a Lutheran minister in one. I played a very
messed up guy who is kind of mental in a
show called The Drowsy Chaperone. The Lutheran Minister I was
in to God. And that's what they didn't know. It's me.
People didn't know that it was me because they only
you know, they pigeonhole you according to what you they've
(02:07):
seen you do. And I've been in people's living rooms.
I mean literally I break an enter but um. But
but with Full House, you know, and with the video show,
I you know, what was that to do? That was
thirty years old. Don't give a thirty year old to
top ten shows. That's the thing you don't do because
it goes to their head. There's nothing you can do
(02:28):
about it. All they do is work, and the ego
gets a little skewed. I want to cover that a
little bit. But let's go back to Full House real quick,
because you were my favorite character on the show. You really,
I know some people thought I was just a geeked
out dust buster. Well it's because your character was a
TV broadcaster on the show, and that's what I wanted
to be when I grew up. I was originally a
sportscaster and then then they made me a talk show
(02:50):
host Wake Up San Francisco, and I was like dreaming
of being in TV broadcasting and so and You're like
you saw it after everybody. No. I talked to my
wife and she said, no, Cody, is it's ridiculous. What? Yes,
she thinks you're just it. You're it on the scene here,
(03:11):
I'm trying what you're doing it? Look at this the
studio you got here? Fine? Would they had? I'm not
doing any saying anything the city as I'm pointing at
the console, I'm not. I'm not saying you've got beautiful wood.
I'm saying, you know, I'm a lumber jack in my
spare time. What will you miss about doing the actual
(03:32):
full house fuller house show? Is it gonna be hard
to say goodbye again? Uh no, because we we spent
thirty years being friends, and we all do see each
other and we never stopped seeing each other. So for
the twenty years it took to come back on the
air with a newer incarnation, it's really we just love
(03:52):
each other. We really helped each other. I mean, stay
most and Dave and I at different times in our
lives we all um. Dave and I lost sister's John
was on the verge. His sister, thank god got well.
So I mean, when it gets to that, you become
it is a weird family is thing. My family was jealous.
I used to have a joke I did it on
a Letterman once that when when my daughter, who is
(04:16):
one year younger than Ashley and Mary kay Doolson, Uh,
when I'd come home, she would smell the other kids
on me and think I'm cheating on her. That was
the That was the joke, and but it was true.
I mean, because I spent so much time doing that
show and the video show, and at seven o'clock at night,
if you're gonna host people getting hit in the crotch
at from seven to eight that's church night. You know
(04:36):
you're not or six to seven Central time, so you're
you can't really go try to be edgy. I mean
I would, I would say things you can't say, but
nobody knew because I was smiling. But I was also
I didn't know who I was at thirty years old
to me being sixty three now, which I look at
least forty four um with my clothes off. But but
(05:00):
I uh. And then I got a new video show
coming up. I saw this videos after Dark. Yeah, so
that'll be on the winter spring. They're saying, I'm saying,
what is this Game of Thrones? When I went to spring.
But the thing I'm here to talk about that I'm
most excited about and which I was gonna get to,
Oh you do you take over? Do? We want to
talk about America's funniest hold videos real quick though, because
(05:21):
they're also doing like a reunion thing right and December
eight that will be on ABC with Tom berger on
and Alfonso, which is crazy good and it's it's really
it's really nice. It was it's really a documentary about
the show because it's a show that's been on for
thirty two years is significant and this is the thirtieth anniversary.
But it starts its thirty second season soon with Alfonso
(05:43):
and I can't dance, don't ask me, but uh, but
I'm proud to be I'm proud to be part of
stuff that makes everybody happy and can and I love
doing family television or and I have done movie stuff
that's family oriented. But I also loved doing my edgy
stand up, which I've done forever. You know, I've done it,
(06:04):
and some specials were a little bluer than others, but
I've kind of cleaned up my act. My last special,
zero to sixty was fairly um. You know, it's like
a PG nineteen, you know A fifteen or anybody to
watch the South Park can watch my specials except for
one or two. Because there was there was no bleeping
going on. They wanted to run on our Comedy Central
and they did, but it was like a drinking game
(06:25):
of how many bleeps there were. But it was just
a word and that word is an exclamatory. Tom bergeron
interesting connection here. It's a good friend. Yeah, he's a
great guy. I think he's like one of the best
hosts on TV period, but until until Nashville Squares comes,
until that happens. But he was the floral host the
Hollywood Squares. He was the last host of that, and
(06:45):
so now you're the new host of Nashville. I was
offered Hollywood Squares back in the day. I was offered
not to put down Tom but I had come off
of the video shows, so they said, please host. They
didn't care for yet at the same time, please host.
I think John david Sin was before that, and then
before that was the original host. Who was I want
(07:07):
to say, uh, someone famous, Gene Rayburn or something, but
it wasn't. It was someone else that's famous, but John
Davidson and then and then Tom brought it back. But
I was offered to do it as the host. I
was off of the middle Square. Center Square. Probably should
have taken it. Will be was the center Square. Um,
but I didn't. I didn't want to do it because
(07:28):
you you wait around all day for the and then
you get one joke and it's kind of planned that
it's kind of written. Um. And then just not long
ago at all, they said, do you want to host
Nashville Squares? So wait, what do you have the wrong number?
And my agent said no, this could be really fun
because CMT has a lot of new programming. They're starting.
(07:51):
You're one of the first new shows. They have other
stuff as well, and of course they have the awards,
but they also I think that this could be a
real fun tongue in cheek combo of you and the
show and I and every every one of my specials.
I have country songs. I had one about my dog
and something that happened late at night. I had a
little a little bit of booze, a little bit of whiskey.
(08:13):
That's how you write a country song. And my dog
just came up and he put his head in my crotch,
and uh, and he was a low to ground. He
was a King Charles Spaniel and we lost him, which
is really sad. But he put his head in my
crotch and after about an hour I said, you gotta
stop that, boy. And but that's the tone of the song.
But it's not a dirty song. It's just a funny song.
(08:33):
It's something my dog did that he didn't know he
was doing. Um, and he's a dog and uh. But
I've always done country music, always loved country music, like
big time um. And so this was this weird fit
that was so natural. And the difference was with Nashville
(08:53):
Squares is it's on the fly, you know. And I
don't mean on your jeans because I'm a button fly
kind of guy. Because the zipper, you know what happens.
But but that's the kind of humor I'm allowed to do,
which can be some people. Oh that's I mean, how
dirty is that? That's really not? Um, that's any late
night talk show type of humor. Uh. Perhaps, but but
(09:16):
it's a free for all and it's um, I got
some game show copy to do, you know, Like if
they put you in that position, you'd be reading the
prompter and going okay, because I have to. I don't
know this business. I don't know what's going on. It's
it's business. And we got given away a car. You
got to say what kind of car it is? You know?
And it's all good. Um, But I got to be
(09:37):
there with so many country stars that I just and
people that I knew, like Billing Ball. I started with him,
and you know, he used to open for me and
just just crush and then I couldn't follow him. So
I tried to put that resentment into having in there.
But and uh, and unfortunate. Uh femster, feamster, femster. You
(09:59):
know what I'm talking about. She's the Google or you're
gonna go. I love her more than anything. She's amazing.
And Tanya Tucker, I mean legends, you know. I mean
she's a center square with her dog and everybody's got
a glass or whatever they needed it. And get Gary Busey,
he didn't need nothing. And so to do one episode,
how long does it take with this crazy it's pretty live,
(10:22):
So it's about an hour. I mean, so you're ending
up with a twenty two minute show for a half
hour show, and you're in some shows they went this
is an hour show, but they just had to trim
him down because other shows didn't feel like an hour.
So um, it's rich with comedy and and uh, the
people are so nice and Marie Osmond it was such
(10:44):
a good sport. I mean, there's things where you gotta
put your hand in a box if you're a contestant,
not a contestant but one of the stars. Uh, and
you put your hand in there and you gotta feel
describe what you're feeling. And there's a lot of ladies
that didn't want to do this. You don't go do
and and that. But but but to television show, they're
not gonna put like, you know, the dog poo you
(11:05):
know that would be that's not good unless it's been
d the de inoculated, the stung d de poisoned right right,
because the de poison will kill you. That would that'd
be terrible. And they go ahead. So how many friends
(11:27):
did you have in country music before all this? Obviously
have lots of friends. Now who are you have pals
and hung out with people? Postiddy as a friend, the
guitarist for Taylor Swift and um and Coosewindel who I
like very much, and a lot of country artists like me,
which is always like a dream to me. Um, people
(11:49):
that I look up to so much, and and and
I mean when I was on Letterman years ago, I
met Johnny Cash and uh, he that was I didn't
know what to say. I was in his presence, you know,
and he was kind of nervous, and he was Johnny Cash,
so you and I've heard he's the sweetest person in
the world. The backstage before Letterman and I was on
(12:10):
before him, and I brought up, you should be on
before me, and that was probably not a good idea.
And I got a little bit of a growl and
got half of that lip that went up, you know.
And then but he was incredibly nice, told me I
was funny afterward and all that. But um god, he
was amazed. I meant, we're arbison at at Letterman also,
(12:31):
and that guy, I mean, the voice never left him.
It was ridiculous. I went up to him, and you know,
he had a site problem, of course, and I went
up and I said, I just want to tell you.
In the green room there's like twelve people around him,
most of them his entourage. And when my oldest daughter
was four, then she's thirty two, now and um I said,
I just want to tell you, Mr Arbison, I really
(12:53):
respect you and I love your work so much. Such
a pleasure. Well, thank you so much. Then I went
right to the person next time. I said, that's want
to tell you, Mr Orbison, I think you're one of
the best. And then I went to the next person,
repeated the same speech over and he was He slapped
his leg, he was laughing hard. He wasn't like punching
it out of anger. Um So, I have a a real,
(13:16):
a real strong affinity to country music. I mean, I
write it, which is you know, it's anything with three chords.
I'm in. Would there be some music on the show
outside of the wild antics and these yeah stunts and stuff. Yeah,
I mean, Tanjit Tucker sang, a bunch of a bunch
of the artists sang, and um and I sing. I
(13:36):
sing a song which I can't reveal, but the dog
can't do that. I tried, but it's a vegan song.
It's called corn Corns My Meat. Um so. And I'm
that's a spoiler alert, by the way, because it really is,
because no one knows it's that. It's actually one of
the questions. I just gave away one of the answers,
(13:57):
So that's not good. I'm really crappy host that give
away all the answer. Here's the answer. Um and um,
I mean you will recognize everybody that's on there. Who
is your best friend? Like in the business in general?
Like who do you hang out with? I feel like
you have all kinds of celebrity friends. And you know,
it's funny. We people that have been around a long time.
(14:19):
And I think a lot of people will tell you this, Uh,
we don't the celebrities like the C word. It's like, uh,
it's a I mean country, it's it's it's you know,
it's like what is your talent? You know, because you
could be on a reality show and be a celebrity.
But um, but artists is kind of how I look
(14:39):
at the people I'm close with. Yes, that's celebrities of
sorts summer not But um, I have a lot of
dear friends in music. John Mayer's a really good friend,
like one of the best friends you can have. He's
a great guy. Um. Would he be a guy you'd
invite over to like a a Saggett family grill barbecue?
Oh for sure. There, I mean, we see each other
(15:01):
whenever we can um and we've had some crazy times
together and we've been friends about twelve years. I've also
I'm close with Ben Folds, who's a dear friend. And
Ben had a studio here. He was he had the
r C a studio here and then he decided that's
that's enough of that and moved to another part of
my career. But he you know, he can do any
(15:23):
kind of music that exists, but there recording here. There's
something real special about recording in Nashville. And he now
towards the world and plays amazing things. And I just
hosted his book talk. He wrote a great book about fireflies,
but it's really about his career and how where does
music come from? And where does where do artists come from?
(15:45):
And and you find out to disconnect with their families,
disconnecting relationships. The best people that I've met, that are
the most talented had there isn't one without a hardship
or many hardships. And I've had a lot of hard ships.
I've lost a couple of sisters, I lost my parents,
lost a lot of family um. And that's and had
(16:07):
no friends, all the normal stuff. But that's what did
you have friends growing up. No, you look popular though
I wasn't though I was a total geek. Uh and
maybe that's and I love radio, I love TV. I
love all that the same here, I mean it was music.
I love music. Yeah, I really found myself in that
world and was somewhat reclusive, I think, as a kid
until I took my first radio job at fifteen, and
(16:30):
so it kind of made me cool with your fifteen
I got on the air. Had your voice changed? No?
Not really? Oh my god, so your voice changed on
the air pretty much the old tapes of me, which
let's not dig up those from back in the day
that my mom still has in a trunk somewhere in
her attic um would be uh pre exactly. So Mickey
(16:53):
Mouse almost saw my video voices. Look out where does where?
How did you bounce back from those moments you talk
about sort of the hardships? I mean, people listening right
now are like getting something out there, and so where
do you find sort of that that piece? Did it
come from? Comedy? It came a comedy is a way
out comedy and and the highest of all forms to
(17:14):
me is music. I also love films, so I love
movies and what became a director. And but music is
that's it that hits the world. You can sing it
in any language. If it's great, if it's just great,
it hits the world. I mean, I remember being in
different places where I heard a song for the first time,
(17:37):
and I'm like, how is this possible that this song
got written? How does new music get written? How does
great art get done? How does a new movie come
out that you go and then you watch comedy. Comedy
is very popular right now and it's needed very much
because there's so much and some people deal with this
stuff that's gone on politically. I try not to because
(17:58):
I want to entertain all people and I want to
bring people together. Um that's kind of what I want
to do. Just by my tone. It's not something i'd
go and say, um, but but comedy for me, I
wrote a book called Dirty Daddy, which was it was
a New York Times bestseller and uh, and it was
(18:19):
about hardships. It was about, you know, and about things
that did wrong, you know, things I wish I hadn't
have done, which includes like drunk driving stuff like that,
you know, doing wrong things. When it comes to comedy,
where what's your method where does it start. When it
start with a joke that you get the line first,
you get an idea from observation. I used to be
(18:41):
more like that. I used to be like and when
I first started, when I was seventeen, one of my
first jokes was this, I have the brain of a
German shepherd and the body of a sixteen year old boy,
and they're both in my car and I want you
to see them. Now. That's just weird and it's wrong,
and it's kind of weird. It's like a zombie movie
(19:02):
kind of joke where it's a murderer, kind of I
don't know what it is. It's a bad guy. But
I was seventeen, so everybody laughed because I looked like
the clean kite kid next door. I had a comb
over at seventeen, you know where goggles that looked like
my glasses look like a good weld. So I was
bigger nerd than you, I promise. But I was moved
(19:22):
a lot. My dad was not navy, but he was
with a food company. So we were in Norfolk, Virginia,
which is a navy town. But and then Philadelphia, and
then California and then Phillip so I'm moving around. Did
you move around a lot? I didn't as a kid.
I was in one spot, South Carolina. But then when
I got that first radio gig, I started like bouncing
around a different cities in South Carolina, Colombia. It's a
(19:43):
nice town. It's a great place, but I had to
get out of there because I knew that my future
wasn't going to happen there. You could have been the
king of their But if you're in Nashville doing what
you're doing, it's kind of and this town is becoming
the mecca. It's crazy and it it deserves it. I
was riding around on last night with my wife and
(20:03):
am not a bird scooter. There's another one I was
don jump. I actually put it on my new TikTok
app and that's what I've got. I've got hundreds of
thousands of people. I've been on it for four days
and um, it's just I'm riding around and I did
something really dangerous no helmet, but I'm going like one
(20:23):
mile an hour. But I'm filming myself riding it and
it's hard to ride that thing one handed. Not smart
people don't do it. Were a helmet wear a bubble
wrap and uh, and I didn't get hurt. I was
really lucky because I had a lot of I'm here
for a lot of press and a lot of stuff, uh,
you know, to do promos for for what we should
(20:44):
be only talking about we we have, but Nashville Squares
is um and we and I love the fact that
CMT brought me to Nashville to shoot the promo properly, uh,
and to shoot stills properly and just being in Nashville.
And I love it here. I mean I truly And
my god, I mean, they're building this town. It's gonna
(21:06):
be like a little Chicago. I mean, it's it's intense.
What's happening growing, It's booming for sure. Um. Well, listen,
it's an honor to meet you, so cool to say
hi to you. And we have to watch every Friday
night on CMT eight seven Central. We'll give your wife
my best as well. I feel like, wait a minute,
you know, I'm just saying that's how it starts. I
(21:26):
think you've met her because she's a host. She does
something called the Travel Rock and she she's an influencer,
but she's also real well known and does a ton
of media. I didn't know we had met though, so
all right, I think you did. If not, I know
what met you, but I'm not sure you know. I
couldn't get it straight. All I knew I was jealous
because she said your name. That's all I do. You're
(21:49):
not even heard anymore. I'm still that guy. Well you
will you want to be because that makes you also
a better person in general. It makes you not an
aggressive person that can that can hurt people. Yeah, I
think you learn from your vulnerabilities and things that you
thought were weaknesses become like strength. That is absolutely true.
(22:10):
It's the story of Spider Man and every superhero. I
think in Marvel. To have kindness and to have to
want to help people, I mean, not many people wake
up unfortunately going I'd like to help someone today and
I don't do it. But it naturally happens. And it
can be as much as as pushing an older lady
down the stairs or no, wait a second, that's you
(22:32):
know what if she's evil, though, but if she's trying
to rob her family of all the money, no, you
still don't do violence. And she's a lady, but you
find out she's a man dressed as a lady. So
he's got to go to jail. But what I'm suggesting
is you help people. You do nice and by the way,
doing this helps people. You're doing You're entertaining people, You're
(22:54):
taking them into their day in a very pleasant way.
Trying to UM can ask one more question, please, UM.
When it comes to jokes today, I feel like everyone
I never answered how I make a joke. A lot
of it is just and then you can ask that
doll answer and you'll let it it out anyway. But
but the point is, this is the best part of all.
(23:16):
I know what's going on. I would cut the whole thing,
but UM, but I sometimes I used to have the
joke part first, and then it's kind of like Gracho
Marks millennials. He was famous, he was a movie star
but looking, but did a lot of puns what they
called dad jokes today. But he did it in a
way that was how sarcastic that you kind of it
(23:38):
cut through, so you couldn't really make fun of it
that well, except unless you say I don't like him.
But the point was, and Rodney Dangelville was a friend
of mine, and Richard Pryor was a friend of mine,
and I'm pretty fortunate and Don Rickles. So these are
guys all different ways of forming a joke. Rodney's attitude
was you come up with a setup and then you
have a punch line, or you have the punch line first,
and then what gets me to the punch line. So
(24:00):
I did a lot of jokes like that, a whole
lot and um, and they sometimes got a little bit
r rated. That's when I was eighteen, and then now
I'm more into storytelling, and then the joke comes by
itself to break the tension. And those are people that
are my friends that I respect. Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr,
There's a lot of comedians that are just really great
(24:23):
at telling a story and then there's humor in it.
And sometimes there's a lot of people doing stuff that
doesn't have a lot of humor in it. They're just
trying to make a point. I always feel like, I
like getting serious now, but I better be heading towards
something funny. And then there's a real payoff in that
because you're telling something honest and then you're getting a laugh.
(24:44):
And so both a lot of emotions happen at the
same time. Are there ever any sensitivities to people sort
of changing attitude. This stated, I mean, I just frankly,
a lot of people can't take a joke anymore. It's
a no I've had to change. There are songs that
I did, even in my last special is one in particular,
I performed in London and I was told that that
song offended some people, and I was like, but it's
(25:06):
not even dirty, but it was. It was just something,
and I said, I won't do it anymore. And I
listened to them because times, the times, they are changing,
and yeah, you gotta be PC And that's what I
respect about Chappelle and Bill Burr and a bunch of
people that are going, I don't care. This is what
(25:27):
I find funny. Um. And I'm not hurting anybody. I'm
not trying to spread negative stuff. I'm I'm a little
more careful. Uh. And I still have jokes. Here's a
bunch of jokes that I can't say anymore, you know,
or like that. You know? Um, And they're not dirty,
they're just they're just they crossed that line of offending people.
(25:52):
And I used to be more misogynistic in my humor
because I was on entourage a bunch of times. So
that was a piece of my personality. That was a
jew joke. I was, people don't realize when you make
a statement, that's the joke. The statement isn't that you
really are chauvinistic or racist or my oh my god.
I don't even go in that area because I don't
(26:14):
believe in it. Because when I when I see Dave Chappelle,
we just hug each other. I've known him for thirty years.
We and we just start talking about why is the
world like this. I don't understand why the world's like this?
But the reality is we're all different and come from
you know, different shades and different types of people, and
we've got to find a way to find humor in
(26:35):
our daily reality. I like mov I like people or
top no, I I agree with you. I mean, it's
we've got to relax. Well, there's a commonality. We're all
human beings. And yes, some people are nicer human beings
than others, and the hurtful ones we stay away from
(26:56):
or report calling that one one. But um, I just
think that people are We don't want to go back
to censorship of like arresting Lenny Bruce, Lenny Bruce Millennials
and gen X. He was very very famous comedian. He
ket he kept getting arrested, you know, for saying what
he wanted to say, and then he got obsessed with
(27:18):
the getting arrested and that's not good. But anyway, you
have another question about jokes. But to say, please tell
you your wife? I said, Hi, I will okay, Well,
it gets more awkward by the minute. Please tell your wife,
I said, Hi. It's almost like uh. Alex Trebeck on
Saturday Night Live with Will Farrell and Darryl Hammond and said,
(27:41):
your mother, would you know that? It's like, please tell
your wife? I said, Are you married? I'm not. I'm gay.
I have a partner. We're about to get married at
some point. That's exciting. It's very exciting. Um, so that'll
how long you've been together? Three years? That's a long time.
It is a long time. Yeah, Especially Gay World, that's
like it's like dog years almost you multiply by seven.
(28:03):
Gay World is a new place they're building in Disneyland.
Is Yeah. It's right next to the Millennial Falcon from
the Star Wars. It's beautiful. Everybody's falcon there. That's a falcon.
It's a millennium. Sure, there's the millennial or millennium millennial
because only threety year olds are allowing five year old.
(28:25):
I'm happy for you, thank you, and so you you
have an anniversary coming up? Um, no anniversary. Uh, I
wouldn't know when it was because I'm still I'm still
a dude. I may be gay, but i'm a dude still,
so I don't remember annimratries. You're gay, you're you're soil dude.
Still are you making plans to transition? Yeah, no, I'm not.
I'm still Why do people think that, know that they
(28:49):
think if someone's gay, that they're automatically going to go
through a Caitlyn or that they want to be feminine
in some way like it's not that's just I think
it's a misconception. See, I would skip the gay and
go right to transitioning. That's what I'm thinking of doing. Well, Bob,
if you do transition, I feel like you'd make a
beautiful woman. Thank you. Yeah, I've been dressed as one before.
I've done a lot of drag work because I had to,
(29:11):
because some working actor, you end up in drag no
matter what you do. And uh, I'm hoping I mean,
there's a there's a future. Okay, good, all right, We'll
give your wife my best love this combo. That's a
good cutting point. That was a good you can get
five minutes out of that. Thank you for having me
on of course, Nashville Squares November. Thanks for listening to
