hundred and fifty thousand times through editing. Like it's I'm
excited that it's out and then I can just go
about my way.

already behind you. You've done them a million times?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Yeah, exactly, exactly. Now I can drop some of the
ones I'm sick of, and you know, but you got
to get those down perfectly before you tape it. And
then it's kind of like, I mean, I'll still do
some of them on stage because people like them, but
I can also do you know, start new stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:01):

They came to me, lady.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
They just showed up. It showed up, and I tried
to get I tried to get them away to every
facility or human being I knew, and nobody was in
the mood. It was right after COVID, and I think
people were giving animals back.

And I'm like, now, are you Are you in the
city though? Are you in the city.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, I'm in Nashville, but I'm in the like fifteen
minutes out. It seems like the woods. Like there's beer
and foxes and raccoons, and I might as well just
be out in the country.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
You like everyone else in Nashville. Do you own your
own bar?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
You know, I've been telling Ron White, that comedian friend
of mine, I don't know why you're not open at
a bar that says tater tots or something like that.
You need a comedian, yeah, right, or Fox within one
of the blue collar guys. What about you?

Speaker 1 (02:01):
You got the podcast?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
All righty, it's too much. I can't, you know, I
never trust I've been a bartender. I still never trust
a bartender. Like I would have to be there, like
I don't trust you people. No, Yeah, I got to
be there, or at least the camera's got to be on.
Kathleen Madigan think it would be fun.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
New new special out on Amazon right now called Family Thread.
You do a lot of family stuff, and I want
to ask you some family questions, but I don't know
who's still alive you last time I saw you, your
parents had a lot of band aids on.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, they did have a lot of band aids. So
my dad passed away. My mom is still running strong
at eighty four.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, yeah, she's on the family thread. But she's always
on the wrong thread. Like we were talking about Thanksgiving
and she just wrote thanks Monica. I was hoping for
cheer yoga. I'm like, what what I wrote? Who's Monica?
She's like, Mom is on the wrong thread. Four threads ago, Mom.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Hilarious, ignore Ignore.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
At least at least she's on a thread. I mean,
she's in her eighties, isn't she eighty four? I mean
that's pretty impressively.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
But she doesn't know she's on a threat. She thinks
she's texting whoever just sent the last text on the thread.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
What does she make of AI and Crypto and all
that crap?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Doesn't understand crypto and believed all AI all of it.
I don't know if you're aware of it. But according
to her, there's a great white shark in the Hudson
River in New York City and I better not those women.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Canadian Cathleen Madigan, do you when is it okay to
start celebrating Christmas with decorations? Our office here already has
a tree up. I feel it's too soon.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Kept a lot of pressure.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, here's the problem people who have kids, because all
my siblings have kids ranging from twelve to twenty, that
all of December gets eaten up by work parties and
then kids and shows. You know, it's the Stmas cats
or whatever. So people are trying to get ahead of it,
which I get.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But the decorating with the tree, but the lows by.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
My house totally skipped, well not totally. They had like
one blow up Turkey for your yard and they went
straight to Christmas after Halloween. Oh yeah, I'm ah, that's
too soon. I agree, that's you're jumping that you're jumping
the shark here.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yes, thank you? All right, Hey, you also have your
your your your pub your pubcast, your successful podcast podcast.
Do I have to be concerned about your drinking?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
And no, but if you, if you were with me,
you'd want to be drinking. So why shouldn't I do
the podcast? I drink beers that I get in random
towns all across the country, and it's doing the work
of the Lord. It's not just about me having beer.
It's about telling people here's a great local beer.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
You're really performing at service. Fang Frankly, you.
Speaker 3 (04:55):

Speaker 1 (04:57):
How about Ozempech What do you think about this whole thing?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Well, I say, let's wait twenty years and one see
what happens. I mean, God love you if that said.
Look what it's done for jelly roll. It can do
really good things health wise. Like I was really nervous
because he's so he was so big, and I love
his music, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, you can't die.
It's fifty like, and it's great, you know, if that's
what you're into.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Awesome.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I don't did anybody really? I just want to ask
somebody who would know. Like I have two friends that
are doctors, but they're always Disney don't have time for me,
but I'd like to go, did anybody really research this?
I'm just curious? Do you know what's gonna happen? Like,
what happens when you go off of it?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
They've been doing that.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
They've been doing the diabetes shot, which this is essentially
what that is for for decades now, so that's kind
of like the test market, and they I think they
tweaked it for you know, the new stuff. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It feels safe to me. I'm not even on it.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I want to be on it.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
First word you use, tweak is my concern.

Jerry Seinfeld. Do you remember what car you were in?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I don't remember the year. It was the sixties. It
was a blue BMW and it had a brown like
baseball glove interior, which was very The blue in the
brow is gorgeous. I don't really know anything about cars.
I don't care about cars, but.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
That's incredible.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
You know, my nephew, the side panelings coming off the
door of the interior part. He's like, you know, I
think you make pretty good money. Why don't you? And
I go, I'm gonna ductate. He goes, yeah, maybe not
sci I'm like no, because now the SUVs are so big,
(07:02):
I'm only five foot one. That the Mercury Mariner was
the perfect car for five foot one.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I mean, that's a that's a that's a note. That's
something I didn't know right there. I've had that idea,
that's a perfect car for someone.
Speaker 3 (07:16):

on the road.
