Speaker 9 (03:53):
It's good to see Larry the cable Guy, distinguished comedian.

Speaker 8 (03:57):
First of all, let me ask you this.

Speaker 11 (03:58):
If you ever walked in a room at your house
and just walk in a room and you walk in
there and you're like, why the hell did I just
come in here?

Speaker 8 (04:05):
Really?

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (04:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (04:07):
You know what's such about that? For me?

Speaker 11 (04:08):
Right now, where I'm at, right now, this is the room.

Speaker 10 (04:17):
I will try and help you, Larry, because I told
I told my therapist that, and you know what you
can do, and it really it worked for me. You
go back out the doorway that you went in. You
go back out and then come back in, and you
will remember what you meant to do. Honestly, it resets
your brains up.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
Does this work with the refrigerator?

Speaker 7 (04:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (04:39):
No.

Speaker 9 (04:40):
Does I open the refrigerator and I know I came
here for something and then I close it and then
I opened it again.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
No, it's not in there.

Speaker 10 (04:46):
However, if you misplace your car keys, they are in
the refrigerator.

Speaker 6 (04:49):
Ah, okay, good to know.

Speaker 11 (04:50):
I mean when you open it again, there's not a turkey.
You knew of all the fictions.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (04:55):
Remember when you were a little kid and you open
up you don't open up the place where all your
toys were, and there was this one by that you
never did find. You didn't know what it was, but
you always thought at some point it would be in there.
That's kind of a kind of analogous to the way
life goes you.

Speaker 8 (05:09):
I didn't have when you're We didn't have when you're little.
That happened the other day.

Speaker 11 (05:13):
I was my me and my daughter played spinning tops
and gnipin app.

Speaker 10 (05:22):
How old were you, Larry, when you knew Ganov was
ping pong backwards?

Speaker 8 (05:27):
Uh? Two days ago?

Speaker 9 (05:29):
Well, I just found out about ten seconds ago. I
thought I thought Gano was one of the correspondents on
n p R.

Speaker 8 (05:39):
Oh he was.

Speaker 6 (05:43):
He was good.

Speaker 11 (05:44):
Yeah, an he took and he took a silver in
the Olympic.

Speaker 9 (05:49):
Yeah, and the women's division. That's it was very weird,
that's what. Yeah, Larry, the cable guys are guessing.

Speaker 11 (05:56):
Those Chinese girls that win those medals, you know, they
always did in the Olympic. It's I always look so young,
you know, as a matter of fact, that's who won
all the medals.

Speaker 8 (06:04):
So young.

Speaker 11 (06:08):
Those you know, those girls are young because they get
their gold medals.

Speaker 8 (06:12):
They try to get the wrapper up.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
I'm trying to plug Larry show. Should I or not?

Speaker 9 (06:19):
Okay, it's Larry the Cable Guy. It'll be on Amazon Prime,
Larry the Cable Guy.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
It's a gift.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
Now.

Speaker 9 (06:28):
Isn't Amazon also doing like Thursday Night Football or something?

Speaker 8 (06:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (06:33):
For like the third season? Fourth season?

Speaker 8 (06:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (06:36):
Yeah, it's getting so confusing watching everything.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Now.

Speaker 9 (06:39):
I know you're a big college football guy. How many
of the games you get to go to?

Speaker 8 (06:42):
Larry? I go to every Nebraska home game.

Speaker 11 (06:48):
Uh, every now and then I'll go to an away
game if normally I'll try to work somewhere if it's
an away game, But I work all the home games.
But I gotta tell you crazy this year, my last
show of the year is I had a big tour.
So my last show, I took the Pinewood Bowl in Lincoln,

(07:11):
Nebraska because it's the day before the Michigan game, and
so that was gonna be a lot of fun.

Speaker 8 (07:17):
But my kid, by the way, has.

Speaker 11 (07:21):
Joined the Army Cavalry and his I haven't seen him
since July second and his graduation from boot camp is,
of course the nineteenth of September, the same day that
I got to do.

Speaker 8 (07:36):
My show in Lincoln.

Speaker 11 (07:37):
So I'm gonna fly down, fly back, fly back down.
So I'm actually gonna that's my first home game that
I've missed since two thousand and five will be the.

Speaker 8 (07:47):
Nebraska Michigan game. So I can't do that. But this
is mormorant.

Speaker 9 (07:52):
But yeah, that's great. By the way, about your son.
But are are you a good luck charm for the team?
Could this affect their ability to be a mission?

Speaker 8 (08:02):
I hope so.

Speaker 11 (08:03):
But you know, Nebraska, we've had a pretty bad run
starting in around two thousand and five when I bought
my season.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
Take that's my problem for so if they have a
great game, we gets you can't go again.

Speaker 8 (08:21):
It started way before that. Let me just say it
started in.

Speaker 11 (08:23):
About two thousand and three, two thousand and two, So
I'm not gonna blame it on me.

Speaker 8 (08:30):
But yeah, I go to all the home games. I
love it.

Speaker 11 (08:32):
You know, the first thing I ever did when I
made money, The first thing I ever did.

Speaker 8 (08:37):
A lot of.

Speaker 11 (08:37):
People buy a big screen TV, or they'll go buy
the cool caller, or they'll go buy a house.

Speaker 8 (08:43):
Putting down payment on it.

Speaker 11 (08:44):
I went and bought the best sweet box at the
stadium purchase.

Speaker 9 (08:51):
It's always a funny quote. The first thing I did
was I got a dog before I even got a
decent car. I got a beautiful dog.

Speaker 6 (08:58):
Here, What a.

Speaker 9 (08:58):
Dog I got a when I first first, when I
first finally finally had some cash, I got a nice
dog and it was well worth it.

Speaker 6 (09:06):
Elvis, what a great dog. What a great beat dog.

Speaker 11 (09:10):
And the best dog I had. You know, I bought
my wife. I bought her a guard dog, a German Shepherd.
Great guard dog costs money pretty good. Many passed away
from stomach torsion. So right after that passed away, I
got her a Navy seal trained Belgian malin wall for protection,

(09:36):
A beautiful dog. Same thing later, about eight years, seven years,
say got stomach torsion, because I guess that's a common
thing with him. But I went up to the kill
shelter where the dogs, they were on their last legs
only about three days ago, and they were out of there,
and I got this dog that's a mix about everything.

Speaker 8 (09:56):
It's mix of a.

Speaker 11 (09:57):
Golden Retriever and some kind of four different miniature dogs.
It's got a it's got a black lab body with
Golden Retriever mixed with little teeny leg and it sounds great.

Speaker 8 (10:11):
Nice dude.

Speaker 11 (10:12):
It's the nicest, best guard dog and lovable though I've
ever had in my life. So I was told, everybody,
save your money, you want to get a good dog,
go rescue one, and they're about to get rid of
and that'll be the best most loving.

Speaker 8 (10:24):
Dog you ever had ever.

Speaker 9 (10:25):
Yeah, and it was short legs. It sounds like we
can call it a Nebraska Corgie.

Speaker 11 (10:30):
You can call it a Nebraska absolutely.

Speaker 9 (10:33):
You know what, did your wife train those socks to
keep you away from her?

Speaker 8 (10:38):
You know, my wife and I just celebrated our twenties
wedding ever.

Speaker 6 (10:42):
Oh nice wow.

Speaker 11 (10:44):
And that's that, of course, is that you never know
what to get her because fifty is silver, our fifties gold,
twenty five is silver, twenty twenty is uh China. So
I ended up taking it a pend express.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
Uh great move.

Speaker 9 (11:03):
Our guest, in case you can't tell, is the comedian
Larry the Cable Guy and his He's got a new

What's the latest with that?

Speaker 11 (11:33):
Wait, Bob, have you the Tornador in the trailer park?
You know that is the coolest thing ever. And I'm
so excited that. I would have never thought in the
millionaires when we first did that it was going to
turn out to what it did. But yeah, last year
or two years ago, we did.

Speaker 8 (11:53):
Another one.

Speaker 11 (11:54):
I forget what it was called, but it was on
Disney Plus and it was nine episodes, nine ten minute
episodes of Mater and McQueen going to Mad's sister's wedding.

Speaker 8 (12:07):
Man, what the heck would today?

Speaker 11 (12:08):
I can't remember the name, but it's on Disney Junior
for cent and then. But yeah, no, we're doing sixty
episodes on Car on Disney Junior. Mater has a couple
of little friends. It's called Cars on the Road and
I'm taping them now and I'll be honest.

Speaker 8 (12:28):
They're hilarious.

Speaker 11 (12:30):
They should be the should be like three different movies
because they're hilarious. So I'm looking forward to those I
think does come out in twenty twenty seven. You know,
it's crazy about it, all the things I've done, the
blue collar and all the commercial private set commercial and

(12:51):
what's the Nutrous system commercial. By the way, I'm the
only entertainer in the country that went from nutri System
commercials to private set commercices.

Speaker 8 (13:04):
I went straight from diet to heartburn. That's what I do.

Speaker 11 (13:08):
It's really amazing that what a whole new audience set
that Cars brought in for me. I went and I
did the entertainment for the opening of the athletic department.
I got invited and I said, they're not gonna these
college kids. They don't remember blue collar and it's really
not my you know, twenty one an under, it's not

(13:30):
really Larry.

Speaker 8 (13:31):
The cable guy fan base. And oh, you'll do good.

Speaker 11 (13:34):
So I went up or did a couple of jokes
and just kind of, you know, they're like whatever, you know,
it's it's there are all these all these kids sitting
in the bleachers there, and finally I just said, after
about three minutes, like Okay, this is gonna go nowhere.

Speaker 8 (13:47):
Unlet's do something quick.

Speaker 11 (13:48):
I say, anybody know anybody remember made her from cars?

Speaker 8 (13:51):
Every hand went up and the minute and.

Speaker 11 (13:54):
The minute I went, whoa, I mean they busted out.
So I did about twenty minutes just talking about Mad
and and they killed me. It's crazy the fan base
for Mader. I mean, anybody shoot that grew up as
a little kid in two thousand and six, they all
know who Mada is. And when it was done, man,

(14:16):
I signed a ton of autographs and I had these
big old six foot eight, six foot nine basketball and
football players coming up to going.

Speaker 8 (14:23):
I can't believe you were Mad Mador benchchats and yeah.
So that's been really cool. I love doing them too.

Speaker 11 (14:32):
They're funny and I'm allowed to you know, I you know,
you can go off script.

Speaker 8 (14:37):
That ED live. They're really good to me over there.

Speaker 9 (14:39):
So you do you have to go to Hollywood to
do them? Or can you do them in your home studio?

Speaker 1 (14:43):
No?

Speaker 8 (14:43):
I literally have a studio in my bed and I
lay there just no.

Speaker 11 (14:50):
I actually I know I for this things I need
I do a lot of touch up work, like where I'm.

Speaker 8 (14:58):
At right now, just in the studio here my house.

Speaker 11 (15:00):
But when I do the full movies like that, I
gotta go up to Omaha. I got a nice studio
in Omaha, and I've been going up there since about
two thousand and eight and doing projects for Pixars.

Speaker 9 (15:13):
So well, I've got a kind of a similar story
for you. We've had a lot of major, major movie
stars and especially rock stars come through our studio. But
the one time that everybody else in the building went
crazy and they were all crowding behind the glass was
when we had the actor that played Spanky in the
Our Gang. Do you remember this Christi guy that played

(15:35):
Spanky in the old Hour Gang Little Rascals episodes came
in here. Everybody went nuts, you know, they couldn't believe it.
It wasn't it Phil Collins us here?

Speaker 6 (15:45):
So what Spanky's here? I'm gonna go check him out.

Speaker 11 (15:49):
So you know, it's crazy who people thought over it.
And I would have never thought Spanky.

Speaker 9 (15:55):
Oh, I'm not kidding absolutely. And you know, we've had
some pretty serious people in here, Ozzy Osbourne, you name it.
But now before we let you go, I gotta plug
your gig one more time. It's Larry the Cable Guy
on Amazon Primes and the special is called Larry the
Cable Guy. I'm glad they got your name on it,
Larry the Cable Guy. It's a gift. Now real quick,

(16:18):

where'd you shoot it?

Speaker 6 (16:21):
How did he go? And what are you talking about?

Speaker 8 (16:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (16:24):
Absolutely, I wasn't gonna do another one. They drug me
back in. I had enough. I had enough. I've been
doing on the road, so I had enough stuff to
do another one. And by the way, when you're talking
about rock and roll bands coming in, we're all getting
older and that's it really stinks growing old with your
favorite rock band. But I don't know if you know
this or not, but ac DC has just changed their

(16:47):
name to a ARP.

Speaker 8 (16:51):
I went to the concert.

Speaker 11 (16:52):
I went to the concert, and I got a pair
of Thunderstruck compressions.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
No.

Speaker 11 (17:01):
I take this in Clearwater, Florida, And it was a
fun little venue in Clearwater. And what I did was
I only do about twenty four dates a year, so
I had to do a ton of dates to get
ready for it. So I actually toured through small towns

(17:23):
in Nebraska raising money for their theater departments for their
high schools.

Speaker 8 (17:29):
And I took man. We did I think twelve ten shows.

Speaker 11 (17:34):
So I toured for ten days, just going to small
towns in February and March in Nebraska.

Speaker 8 (17:41):
It was so much fun.

Speaker 11 (17:42):
I got to work out a bunch of material that
I went down into Florida and I did four shows
and then we went over to Clearwater and taped my
special and I command, where did I take that hat?
Oh my gosh, I'm going I'm forgetting. I taped it,
but it was real. It was fun, you know how
it is, man, get older, I can't remember stuff, but

(18:05):
I did tape. I taped the clear Water. It went great. Uh,
really really happy with the special. It's the same kind
of stuff people have come to like from what I do.
You know, I just like to make people laugh, and
I'm a one liner comedian. That's why it's called it's
a gift. You know. I'll do a I'll do a

(18:25):
really dumb one liner and I'll just look at the
crowd and go, hey, man, it's a gift. That's that's
how the name came about it. And so it's I
think people are really enjoy it. It's one of my
favorite ones and uh, and so appreciate you as always

would never be associated. I just want to make that
very clear.

Speaker 11 (18:58):
I've had I have had the most belly laughs in
my life with Reno Callier. I love him like a brother.
But we cannot work a lot together because I think
I'm gonna die because we get to laugh and at
the dumbest stuff to where I'm literally Reno shut up.

Speaker 8 (19:17):
I can't talk.

Speaker 11 (19:19):

last week when we almost died in a plane crack.

Speaker 8 (19:25):
We have that. We have that bond as well.

Speaker 9 (19:28):
It's hard to try to remember the funny stuff that
makes you laugh next time he calls us.
