the sane. But yeah, sothose of you who are out there living

I didn't know if you want totalk about it or not. Dgarten,
Well, many prayers to the familythere. And then running behind the board
there is Ron Phillips. Everybody andit's been a great couple of weeks in

(01:29):
the fact that I was on tour, and we might as well throw those
tour dates up there, if youwould. Ron, We've got tour dates
coming up this week in Concordia,Kansas. Uh, next week in Columbia,
Tennessee. Also I'm Mary in Virginiaand then we're only doing two dates
in May because I'm having a littleprocedure on the cancer that's right there on

(01:56):
my arm, my right forearm.So we're going to take some time off
and have that thing cut out andsee what that looks like. They're supposed
to kind of go to the bonethere. But plenty of tour schedule events
coming up, and if you wouldgo to William leemartin dot com and buy
your tickets. And you know,it's it's been a grind, you know,

(02:19):
it's a twenty seven year grind.And the exciting thing is is that
we just went out and shot myfourth what will be my fourth television special
and you know, ada kind oftakes me back to the very beginning of
shooting this, uh these specials.This one here really wasn't a special.
We wasn't even trying to shoot.But the first one absolutely was right.

(02:44):
How did you get your first TVspecial? By the way, we paid
for it ourselves. A lot ofyeah, a lot of people don't know,
you know, used to you couldget a network really involved with you
and they will pay for a special. Right now, granted they also own
the thing. But it was liketwenty twelve, you know, twenty ten,

(03:06):
twenty twelve. Michelle and I hadonly been together for a couple of
years. I didn't realize it wasthat long. Yeah, it was twenty
thirteen that we got this idea ofshooting it. Okay, so Michelle finds
this house and we were living onthe east side of Fort Worth, like
the Jeffersons. We you know,were dreaming of moving on up but the
east side of Fort Worth. Wewere living with the Jeffersons, right,

(03:28):
So we were on that side oftown, and you know, the houses
were being broke into and the carswere being broken into, and we knew
we wanted to move. And Michellegoes out and finds his house. I
wasn't really excited about it, butshe loved it. And as everybody knows,
you know, the wife's got tobe happy for everybody to be happy.

(03:50):
And also because I travel, she'sgot to be happy in it,
right, Well, you weren't evenhome you found it worried? Yeah,
no, no, not not thishouse that we had. So this was
twenty thirteen. So she found thisincredible house that she loved, and I
thought it was okay, and weput down earnest money on it. And
you know, you got ten daysto get out of those things. And

(04:12):
it was like day six or seven. I was working the cruise ships.
You know, my time from bluecollar and those management people were long gone.
My time at radio at ninety threeto three, the bone was gone.
And let's face it, my careerwas kind of in the toilet,
right. It was twenty twelve.I'd been on the ships for two years,

(04:32):
three years now, and so itwas like day six or seven,
and I told Michelle, I said, listen, we can take all this
money that we've saved up in thesefour years that we've been together to put
down on this house. Or wecan take all this money and we can
shove it all into the center ofthe table and we can bet on doing
a comedy special and we can goout and shoot it because nobody's going to

(04:57):
know who I am without it.She said, let's go for it.
That's nice of her. I'm notsure I could have done it, And
looking back on it, I'm notsure if I would have done it for
her going the other way. No, yeah, you know, because it
is a big risk. There's there'sno guarantee that you can even get it
on television. And it's twenty thirteen, so the internet is not what it

(05:19):
is even though, right, yeah, you know, I think there was
still remnants of my Space in twentythirteen. So we called the guy.
She called the guy the next dayof the real estate guy and said,
we're out of the deal. Andit's like, you can't get out of
the deal, and she's like,well, actually we can, and we
are. We're still in our tendays. Yeah. Yeah. And so

(05:40):
we literally started looking for a productioncompany and I found a guy named John
Reynolds who did some you know,country music videos and that kind of stuff,
who lived in Forworth, and wemet with him and their production company,
and like the little rascals, westarted planning out putting on a show,

(06:00):
okay, and I mean everything frombuilding the sets to selling the tickets
to what it would look like,what the shots would look like. And
there was at one point that Istarted watching other specials and really trying to
hone in on what I wanted.And a couple of them that I really

(06:23):
liked to look of was the originalChris Rock, Bigger and Blacker, I
think was special. And then PatreseaO'Neill had a comedy special and I thought,
you know what, I want myset to look like that, and
then we set out liked the LittleRascals and we built a set. I
got with a guy named Rick Kramer, and we designed an actual set.

(06:46):
So I want to show you whatthe set looked like. So we're going
to jump ahead to what the finishedproduct was, but played the footage of
the special from twenty fifteen actually iswhen it did. They actually had me
on there twice, both dimes.I got cut from the should man.
They cast me as a detective.I was a cop. Second down they
cast me on there, I wasa construction worker. I am a cowboy.

(07:11):
So if they could just cast mealso as an Indian and a navy
gud, I am the village peopleby myself. That was nice. Yes,
So if you looked at it andwhen you if you're just listening to
us. By the way, golook at it online, this little clip
of it. But the actual setwas built to tear down that those metal

(07:35):
flanks that were going all the wayat the siding. We actually had in
our driveway for about two months andI would throw rock salt on it about
every couple of days or so totry to get that patina in it,
get that weather look that I wanted. And then those columns that go up

(07:56):
and down that look like beams,they weighed less than this all together because
they were a few foam injected beamsthat I had in the company here to
do the lights that you see thatare rigged up and everything else. I
found those in an antique store inSherman, Texas, and we literally were
gathering everything. The sign that's behindRon. Ron showed him the sign that's

(08:20):
because it's in the CMT special h. Yeah. So Rick Kramer built that
based on a drawing that I had. I didn't realize it was. Rick
Kramer built all that stuff, andthen we also had a big CBM that
that we put together and he hewelded together. But the whole set was
put up there and then John wasreally kind of winging it. We had

(08:43):
one of those boom jib arms,you know, So they had all those
great and then we get to thetheater itself and they can't handle the amount
of electricity that we need. Soit's blowing the circuit for the entire block
every time they would plug in thelights on the day of the show.
You don't know that till the dayof the show. Wow. So we

(09:05):
filmed the show, and we filmedover three nights. It was a Thursday,
Friday and Saturday film shoot. Andwe you know, we thought we'd
take the best of and we'll putit together and everything else like a jigsaw
puzzle. And so we were fortunateto have it at the Rose Marine Theater.
It's a vaudeville theater in Fort Worthwith a lot of history and a

(09:28):
lot of ghosts, and it's downin the Stockyard area. It's been there
since eighteen ninety or something. Sowe like, like I said, like
the little rascals. Then we sellthe tickets, which paid for a lot
of just the initial buy of thebuild, and then we get it and
now what do you do with it? So now we have to go to

(09:48):
find a distribution company. Everybody toldme, and we went found one in
California, a guy named Steve Saltman. I sent it to him and Inception
Management. So we get it tothem and they want to sign a long
term contract. And what I saidis, you got one year. You
got one year to get it onthe air. If you don't get it

(10:09):
on the air in a year,then I get it back. And so
we shot it in twenty thirteen.No, shot in twenty fourteen. No,
twenty thirteen. Yeah, we shotin twenty thirteen, then twenty fourteen.
They've got a year, and it'sa week left in the deal and
he calls me up and he says, hey, you won't believe this,

(10:30):
But I went to one of thesethings that buy these buying things, and
I have two people on the hook, CMT and I have Showtime on the
hook. Where do you wanted togo? And I said, well,
I really think, and looking backon it, probably picked the wrong one.
I picked CMT's what I would havepicked too. But you were cowboy

(10:52):
Bill Martin at that time. Wellthere's no reason not to and not all
of that. You know, Iwas working Blue and their biggest their biggest
hit at that time was Party Down, South and it was like it was
Jersey Shore but with Southern accents.So all it was so and it was
their number one show. Finally hadies on CMT. People were really watching

(11:13):
CMT just for that show. Itwas like a train wreck that everybody was
turning into. So we get itwith CMT. And and then that's when
we found out how much we haven'tspent on it so far. Yes,
so far, I've got about aboutthirty thousand dollars in the initial shoot of

(11:33):
it is his personal funds, personalof our money. And I just kept
writing checks and writing checks and writechecks and spending all of our money.
And then and then we thought,okay, well that's great, we got
it on CMT. They'll give usmoney. No, you still got other
stuff that you got to pay for. So then I had to hire an
attorney for the thing, you know, with the contract. And then you

(11:54):
gotta like I co wrote four hundredHorses, which is the credits song,
So the song that runs in thecredits that nobody watches except the people that
are names or in the credits.I had to contract with the other two
writers the song that I not onlycame up with the idea, but I

(12:16):
co wrote the song, and nowand I had to get a contract with
myself. I had to get acontract with myself to play myself on there,
to play my music that I wrote. So i'd had I never would
have thought of that. And thenand then we have all that written down
and everything else. And so nowwe've got an agreement between the other two
writers and everything else. And thenI find out that I got to have

(12:39):
a ten million dollar insurance policy onthe special. So if you're watching a
television show and somebody wigs out andhas like an epileptic seizure or something and
tries to sue you or thek thenetwork requires you to have a ten million
dollar policy on this one little tapmy word, that's odd. But the

(13:03):
great thing is, and I mean, we're just writing them. We're writing
all the checks and uh, atsome point we really were. Didn't know
I was gonna pay for that,didn't know. And but but I have
a meeting with CMT and a greatguy, great guy named Hector Campos,
and Hector tells us in the meetingeverything that that you want to hear as
an entertainer, we want to bein the William Lee Martin business. Well

(13:28):
at the time, Cowboy Bill Martinbusiness, Uh, we think you should
be the face of our network,And he said, I came up with
that. I got this great conceptidea for your special. We're going to
have a lead in like a heritageact, like a Ron White or Bill
ing Vall or Foxworthy or one ofthose guys, or even Jerry Klower and

(13:48):
uh, then we're going to showyou after it as the new faces of
Southern comedy. And you're gonna bemy number one guy. And I'm gonna
leased this from you for two years, this special and in two years this
special bill will play twenty times.So it's going to play at a prime

(14:09):
time on eight o'clock on Saturday night, which is great, about nine o'clock
our time, ten o'clock Eastern,which is perfect timing for a special like
this. But then next month I'llshow it at three o'clock in the morning,
maybe on the network on a Thursdaynight. And the next week or
the next month, I'll play itagain at a different time. And you

(14:33):
are going to get mile edge outof this thing. And me and Michelle
are, oh, yeah, youknow. And you got to remember I
started comedy in nineteen nine. Heknows how to say all the right stuff.
Well, it was all the rightstuff, and he had this wonderful
plan and it was I mean,we literally like we hit the home run.

(14:54):
Okay, we put all the moneyon the table and we just got
the decision. We yeah, wejust got four races, bitches. So
we're all excited about it and everythingelse. And then the other thing that
I went ahead and paid for,so I ended up we get a date
that it's coming out, and Ihire a PR firm out of LA a

(15:18):
big PR firm, and they're notcheap, okay. And this is back
when radio really made an impact too, So it was like I think,
I want to say seven to fourteenthousand dollars somewhere for a PR firm,
and they put me on a Theyput together this whole radio and media blitz.

(15:41):
So I mean they had me lockedinto a room for three or four
days, calling radio station after radiostation to promote this thing. Plus we
were really doing a heavy push onwhat was then Facebook blowing up, right,
and so we bought all those adsand so now we're into the entire
project for about fifty five thousand dollarsof our own money with everything that's in,

(16:07):
I mean everything that's in, andthat's that's fifty five after we've taken
in the money from the shows.So there's more than that, but you
minus that. So now I'm stillon the hook for fifty five. Yeah,
but you know what the windfall comingcoming later, that's gonna be a
one. That's going to be awin for you guys. That's what we
thought too. I know we're livingin the hall, going in there,

(16:30):
going charging up those credit cards.The good thing is that we weren't putting
it on credit cards. We wereliterally paying all the savings. So was
just just went just window, yeah, just and just going down the thing
out out of the sky. Justyou just watching the numbers. Just every
time there's a minus. Right,good things are coming, good things,

(16:53):
good things are coming. Yeah.And then uh, and then about two
months before it airs, they haveat Viacom, which owns CMT, what
they called a bloody Monday where threehundred middle managers across the board of Viacom

(17:17):
got fired, right, one ofwhich was Hector Temples. Oh no yeah,
so yeah, so a lot ofthings suddenly were iffy, right,
and then so we go on withthe plan, and they have a new
person in charge. And I don'tknow if I should use her name because

(17:37):
she might be a nice lady.She just wasn't nice to us. But
Katie Buchanan, how about that,Katy. And because of her letter,
so maybe maybe she hears this,maybe maybe she'll know not to do this
to somebody's dream. So we goon with the plow. I mean,
I've already paid for everybody else.Not only that, I've also done other

(18:00):
stuff, like we now that wehave a CMT date, we have talked
this lady who owns a restaurant innear Lake Country in Sacondall called Mama's Texican
Kitchen. And at the time,I was doing this whole bit about being
a Texican right right, and Ithought, well, there's a godsend.
And so she just had this newrestaurant. So we literally this was going

(18:25):
to be like a premiere restaurant.They were for them you there first.
Yeah, So they had seventeen TVsand I am in renting one of those
big lights, you know that,And I had to get a permit.
I'd pay for a permitt because youcan't just shoot a big light like that
in the sky otherwise planes what spotlight? Yeah, so you know, like
the old yeah, yeah, yeah, the old Hollywood spotlights. Yeah.

(18:48):
So we get a permit and everythingelse, and now I'm doing the phone
calls and everything else. And thisis like a week out. And in
this business, you don't you donot burm Bridges. You just continually kiss
asses, right yeah, and whatI you don't like And I don't like
it right there, but I'm butso I called up Steve Saltman, who,

(19:12):
by the way, they hadn't donethat much for it. Okay,
CMT was going to lease it forthe initial airing I think was eight thousand
dollars, but then we were goingto get like, I don't know,
twelve hundred dollars every time it aired. So the bye of it all that
with just the eight thousand plus theother ones, you know, it's going

(19:33):
to be pretty decent number. Okay, So what fifty thousand dollars I think
is what they were about. Butnow that Hector was going that whole plan
of it airing all the time,that had already been killed. Okay,
that had been killed. They acontract signed, there is a contract sign
but the airing of it is absolutelyup to them. So it's only you

(19:55):
get paid. It's not like they'resaying, we're gonna put it, put
it here, here, here,And it's all on the schedule. It's
a two year schedule. They're veryflexible, that's what he was even saying,
when I needed space, I'll putspace in it. And so they
killed all of it. So nowthey're only getting eight thousand dollars that we're
splitting in half, right, allthis distribution just so now they're only making

(20:15):
four thousand dollars on it, andI'm only getting four thousand dollars back from
it, and so they don't feellike they're getting anything in it, so
they don't get it really involved inthe promotion of it like they said they
would. But we're still doing allof our own stuff, right, and
we're plowing through. And then atone point I call him up and I

(20:36):
said, hey, Steve, Ijust want to let you know that I
can't thank you enough for making adream come true. I always wondered what
it'd be like to have a onehour television special, and I just can't.
From the bottom of my heart,I just thank you, And I
guess he gathers a conscience for nothelping us out at all. And he
calls up Katie Buchanan and he saysto her, you know Cowboy Bill and

(21:02):
his team and Carnival Cruise Ships,because I was working Carnival and I was
coming out of Carnival into television.Carnival Cruise Ships are so excited that you're
going to use one of their comediansin a one hour special. And Katie
says, well, the lead endof that show is Ron White, and
I can't get him to even tweetabout it because he's running for president.

(21:26):
He was running for president at thetime, and yeah, literally maybe as
a joke, but it was stillbefore Trump had become Trump in the race,
so Ron, I remember that.So Ron won't even tweet about it.
And now you're telling me a comedianI've never heard of, with a

(21:48):
billion dollar company behind him, who'snot bought one nickel of advertising, is
going to want us to promote hisspecial. She said, you know what,
I'm just going to pull both ofthem. This is a week before
it's supposed to watch, a weekbefore it's supposed to air, and I'm
literally on the phone with John Boyand Billy doing radio, and I had

(22:12):
y'all. Y'all seen my especially thebig monitor that I used to have with
my Apple computer, so my desktopwas huge. And I also have large
letters, so I don't have toput on these stupid glasses all the time.
Right. So I'm talking to himand this thing pops up, this
email from Katie Buchanan. We've decidedto pull your special hope to air it

(22:33):
by Christmas. Have a nice day, Katie Buchanan, And I am quoting
word for word three sentences that almostchanged my entire life. And a heartbeat.
I mean, it was so cold, So yeah, matter of fact,
as a matter of fact. Andthe other thing is that in the
contract I couldn't sell the hard copiesof it, and in twenty thirteen people

(22:56):
were still buying dvdsyas I couldn't sellthe hard copy of it until it had
aired for thirty days. So itwas airing in November, and I was
going to be able to just makeit out of the wire to get people
to buy Christmas once and people werebuying Christmas ones, people pre ordered all
these and now I can't even sendthem out or anything else. So John

(23:21):
Reynolds at the time, we wereboth sharing an office side of a building,
right, he had an office downthere. We had partnered up and
everything else. And he come downto my office and I have this glass
door and I'm still on with JohnBoy and Billy. And he comes into
the office like what are we goingto do? And I was like,
well, we're not gonna panic.That's the one thing we're not going to
do. Maybe she had to knowall the things that we've done. And

(23:44):
I called my attorney at the time, and his name was Buck McKinney.
Is that not a great attorney?Right, that's a TV show. That's
a TV show called Buck Right troublecalled book. So I called Buck and
he's like, you know, Ican do a strongly worded letter. He
said, I don't know if Ican get your money back for the production

(24:04):
of it, but all the promotionpart of it, you know you're doing
it in earnest. And I said, well, before we send any sort
of letter to take her off,because I don't even know where, we
haven't had a conversation with her,let me send let me put together all
the numbers. And luckily I'd alreadydone all my legwork anyway. So with

(24:26):
the PR firm, they sent meeverything from demographics to the number of bach
to all those other things. Sowe put together this this email of here's
what we've done, here's what we'vespent. Yeah, in earnest, we've
spent twenty thousand dollars on the promotionalof it, and and we don't hear
anything. And I'm still having topromote this thing like it's going to air.

(24:48):
This was a week away. Stillit's now it's like five days.
It's this started on Monday, it'sairing on Saturday. And Michelle and I
God bless her, she she wouldgo to the TV and hit the guide
just to see if we were stillon the guide. We were checking the
guide, so you were on theguide. We were on the guide.

(25:10):
But at any moment, we justknew that they were going to pull it.
And I even called the radio station. Here. Now, the lady
over at Texican Mama's Texican Restaurant orwhatever, she had bought these ads from
the radio station from the guy thatI know, Mike Crow. I actually
walked her into the building to gether to buy radio ads for this thing.

(25:32):
And so I called Mike and Itold him everything that's going on now.
It's Wednesday. And by the way, I just got back from television
on Fox four. So I wentto Fox four to promote a show that
I didn't know it was going tobe on the AHA. And then I'm
sitting there at the desk and I'mtelling Mike Crow everything about it, and

(25:53):
I'd already called a electronics company togo over and wire all the TVs,
all seventeen TVs because I had tosold out premiere as well. You know,
I'm a promotion machine, so I'mat least going to show them the
thing. I'm gonna hit play ona DVD player and have it zone in
seventeen TVs. And I told himthat me and Michelle are going to pick

(26:17):
up the tab on the Ladies adbecause I promised her a premiere and now
she's not getting your premiere, soI'll pick up the tab on the thing
on the radio buy. And that'swhen I got another email that said,
in light in lieu of all theinformation, we've decided to air your special.

(26:38):
We pulled the Ron White special.We're going to back your special off
and your lead in now is AmericanPie one and two. So they pushed
it back to ten thirty Local time, which is eleven thirty Eastern time,
which is costly. It's late,especially for a country crowd. But it

(27:03):
was still on at eight thirty onthe Pacific time, so they went ahead
and aired it, and I pivotalpoint in my life. I get off
the phone with him, and Johncame down and he said, you know,
we're still on and I said,I know. I just read it,
and he walked down the hall,and because I had the glass door,

(27:27):
I turned my back to it andI literally, y'all cried like a
girl, like a little baby girl, for the next eleven minutes. And
I knew it was eleven minutes becauseI had to get back on the phone
for the next phone call. Andto have that entire you have, your
entire dream just ripped out without anyany apology. Yeah, nobody's world.

(27:52):
Nobody's world's messed up at CMT ifyou don't there. But our entire thing,
our entire bank roll was in it, right and then and then we
go to the special and it airedonce and it got It was the highest
rated special of the fall at CMTCountry Comedy Special and that's including the Big

(28:19):
Fellas. It really did well andit never ever saw the light of day
on CMT. Again. She killedall of it. She killed the whole
thing about the new faces of thecountry comedy. And they also killed their
number one show, which was Partydown South that same time because they moved

(28:41):
them from the MTV division that's whereCMT was living. They moved it over
to the Nickelodeon side. So ifyou ever come to my show and you
see me go as my HBO andmy Nickelodeon side, right, that's actually
that's scared me a little bit.I don't know what that was, Tim.

(29:03):
So we're getting close to being outof time. But yeah, so
then it finally aired and uh andthen the greatest part of this story is
a Spurrien management a year later wentbankrupt and I never even got the four
thousand dollars. I was gonna say, how much money did you make off?

(29:23):
I was going to ask about thewind fall. There had to be
some kind of windfall. No,no, know how we made up the
money selling that DVD out of thetrunk of my out of the trunk of
my car, all right, thetrunk of my at the back of my
truck, sell on cruise shifts.I mean I mean I ended up selling.
I think I think I probably soldthirty thousand copies of that thing,

(29:45):
you know, So, I meanI had all the work. That's a
lot of hard Maybe that's a littlehigh. I think I sold twenty seven
thousand copies of it, That's whatI saw. Still a lot, but
so I made back the money eventually, but twenty bucks at a time,
you know what I mean. Sowell, no, but this gives this
gives people an insight on the industrythat a lot of people in the world

(30:07):
don't understand or don't don't know.It's just very up and down all the
time. It seems like well andthey say, you know, it's all
about luck and everything else, andsome of it's just cruel, and some
of it's cruel, and none ofit's personal. But that's because it was
so tainted especial I also because Iwas moving further into my faith. That's

(30:29):
when I'm out mowing the grass afterit came out and all the debacle and
