Speaker 2 (02:16):
The nudity clause on that series?
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Well, we've we've got good lawyers. Hey, not only that,
I do my own I do my own stumps and everything.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Well that's how good I am. That's how good I
am a voiceover a lot of people don't, but I'm
the only voiceover artist that actually puts on weight to
do the voices.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
You got a guy in a character, you know, you're
a meThe you're a methad voice. Hey, I assume now.
I don't know where you how you split your time
during the rest of the year, but I imagine once football
season hits, you're here all the time, right, I.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Am here all the time, Yes, sir, I'm loving the
games went last week, going this week. But I'm gonna
say this, I'm gonna miss the Michigan game.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
They're gonna need you for that one, I know.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
But I got to tell you this is some pretty
cool news though. You know, my boy was both My
boy was bull riding and by gosh, one day he said,
I'm gonna join the Army Cavalry and he's down there
in Fort Benning right now. I haven't seen him. I
haven't seen him since July second. And wouldn't you know it,
(03:42):
their family day is the same day as the Michigan game.
I know. So I'm gonna miss it, but it's worth it.
So it's worth it. I've already, you know, I already
made my wife change her wedding from the Nebraska game
to a different day.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
So well, it's it's great that you're down there, but
you were part of the game plan for the Michigan game.
We were hoping that since you were there getting the
unsports malike conduct flags, that would deflect attention away from
our sideline. And if you're not going to be there
to get the unsports mali conduct flags, then that puts
the pressure back on our sideline.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Well you're still there, though, you can do something I
could do.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I'll pick up the slack for you, Larry, I'll do it. Yeah.
You know, one of the one of the one of
the greatest stories you told me. I thought it was beautiful.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
We were down the press club it was I think
it was Senator Records based on the barroom four rows,
and we were chatting and you told me about the
time because we were talking about your shows and stuff,
and you told me about a time where you you
were performing in whatever city it was, and you had
a friend there who you hadn't seen in years, and uh,
(05:00):
and you got together with him and you said, well,
we got I got a few minutes for you, but
then I got to get back and I got to
prepare for the show. And one thing led to another,
and you spent the whole day, end of the evening
with him. So when you got on stage, you hadn't
prepared anything, and you got remember and you got out
there and said, man, I don't know what I'm going
to do, and then it all came back to you.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Right, Yeah, we did. Well, here's the deal. I I'd
been on tour for a long time. We hadn't gone
off road in my three months. This was in my
if heyday, my heavy tour and arenas and tour buses. Well,
we had ten days off and I was burnt out.
I went home. I didn't think about comedy. I didn't
(05:41):
care about it. I just wanted ten days off of that.
And so I didn't go over my act. And you know,
my act's all one liners. I to like one hundred
and seventy five two one liners in my act. Uh,
And I didn't go over anything. I figured out I
got time on the plane and go over it. Then
(06:02):
I get there and then I got a French show up.
And next thing I hear is I got five minutes
and twenty minutes in. I remember that like it was yesterday.
There is about seventy there's about seventy eight hundred people there,
maybe eight thousand people, and it was in Utah and
or Idaho. And I went on stage in twenty minutes
(06:22):
and I completely forgot my act. I couldn't remember a thing,
and some guy yell, start over, Larry. I said, good idea,
So I pretended to start over, which got a big laugh.
I had my guy, Hey, go get my computer, and
everybody last. I mean, I was panicking. I literally forgot
(06:44):
my act and then I just kind of I made
it through the whole show, but I was gun shy.
My timing was tough because I was I couldn't and
then I get done with the show and everybody's like, man,
the whole thing, did you really forgive your actors?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:04):
It ended up being super funny, but boy, it's scared.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
The credit I can only imagine.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Well, I still think your burgeoning film career could have
really taken off if you've gotten that Academy Award nomination
for your starring role in Witness Protection. Uh you know,
I mean that was protection witless Protection, That was That
was one of the great oversights in the history of
the Academy of.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
It really was. That's the fifth ascar I've been screwed
out on these movies, and those movies, you know, those
movies are are pretty cool because those are the only
five movies in Hollywood history that were written during the
writers' strike, so you know it. You know it's funny.
(07:55):
When I was promoting that movie, promoting Witness Protection, I
was on LENO and I go, you know, Jay, how
a lot of DVD's will give you an alternate ending
to the movie. Well, we've done something like that, only
a little different. We've actually give an alternate movie.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Well it was hilarious, especially when we got the fish
sticks out of the vending machine. That was one of
my favorite lines in the movie. And it was your
politics that got Yoularia. It's not your acting, it was
your politics.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Well that's what I always did. Know. Those movies were great, man,
those were cold classics. And you know what was great
when I had Health Inspector when I did Witness Protection. Oh, man,
what's his name, Doug? He's got kind The actor that
was in there, who was the girl and pretty woman,
(08:47):
Julia Roberts, her brother Eric Eric Roberts, he was in
that movie and he said, he said, you know, I
never heard of you, but I had always have a
movie night with my daughter and she wanted to watch
Larry the Cable guy a Health Inspector. It's her favorite movie,
and I was like, what the heck is it? He goes,
(09:09):
It's like a cult classic to us now. It's got
all these memorable lines. He goes, we watched it all
the time together. My man. That's awesome. So that's Fromeric Roberts.
That's not a bad.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, that is cool.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Won an Academy award.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
