Hello folks and hey bear, welcome to the Nate Land podcast. I'm Nate Bergetzi, Brian Bates, Aaron Weber, filming for Dusty.

The big, big, big star now, Leanne Moore. Oh, thank you for having me. I'm so tickled. I think we're lucky to even be able to get you. Oh, you know, I would come here and mop. Yeah, yeah. Put in a casserole. That's what we wanted. People have been asking for a female, and we're like, you know what? If she brought a casserole, we'd do it. That's how we go off of it. But you're filling in for Dusty.

We want you to have the same views as Dusty. Which is a lot of, you know, stuff's not real. Old Testament. Yeah. A lot of Old Testament. Yeah. All Old Testament. Prepper. That's a great way of putting it. Yeah. Yeah. Dusty's in India right now checking out the moon landing. He wants to investigate it. You know, India just sent a

Not a ship, but what, a capsule to the moon? With people in it? No, but they landed on the south pole of the moon. Nobody's ever done that. Oh, big deal. Seven years too late. Don't land people from India? Yeah. What do you mean? Swing? Yeah. Wait, they landed on the part we can't see? I don't know if we can see it. It's not the dark side, but I think we just haven't landed on that part of the moon. They were upside down. Yeah. So they're hanging on.

Huh. I saw like they were doing it because they said they're talking about they look fake, right? Because it was like the video looks weird. It's like not clear. Yeah. Yeah. And they show that there's a camera because it shows it landing. And then there's a camera that from the from the ground. So I don't know how that can't like where is that camera? Well, that's not real. Is that it? It looks like a car. That's what they were showing. I think it's an animation, right?

I don't think so. I think that's the real footage. Oh, boy. Bestie is going to have a ball when he gets back. Yeah, it looks a little bit like a video game. Yeah, but I think people were just saying that. Who knew they were even trying to go? You think it's... You guys got that flag? It's like Kornheiser. Yeah, he's got three flags behind him. Let me see. I'll wait one more. I wonder if you got to let everybody know.

like if you're a country you got to go you got to call the other country goes at like the very last you're like all right i'll see oh i've got to say we're uh we're gonna go to the moon and you go all right dude i don't that's fine because all right well you might have to ask you guys aren't you don't have anything there do you yeah are y'all trying to go to the moon we're going we're going to the moon flight plans yeah i wonder if you have to say you probably do have to say is anybody surprised you know

There's the guy there like, whoa. Yeah. Yes. Ted Gummett. Bengaluru. Yeah. Well, I don't know if I said that right. I don't know. I've never wanted to go to space. I think that's frightening. Yeah. I mean, like wealthy, all those people that want to go to space. I've never wanted to go.

or look at it or hear about it. What do you think that impulse is? You do get to a level of wealth where you just say, I got to leave earth. I think you can't be born in Knoxville. I was born in Adams. Yeah, I did. You can't be born in Adams. You definitely can't be born there. Yeah, I don't think...

I think that's a little far out of reach. You got to be like in New York City. Yeah. You got to be something that you're like the moon would be a possibility, you know. Uh-huh. We're just trying to get you downtown Nashville. I know. I know, which is frightening. You know, all those people twerking. Oh, yeah. It's chaos. And all that dope. Right. Right. A lot of carts with dope in it. Yeah. I've seen it. Dark jumps. Uh-huh. Carts?

Seems like they had carts with dope in it and you could buy it. People were scooting around those carts with dope in it. And then it seemed like a lot of girls with jiggly legs. And I say that because mine jiggle. But they're on scooters and they're jiggling and everybody's drunk. You know, it just seems it's a lot for me. It is. It's a lot. But I'm a grandmother.

You know, I don't want anybody to get a brain bleed. I just worry about that kind of stuff. Yeah. I don't like there to be a bunch of partying going on because I have already been through all that and seen that. And I just don't want people to have that much fun because I think it's, you know, sinful and somebody's going to get hurt. I don't like all that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Like for everybody to act right. Yeah. You know, I hate to start this podcast out like that. I love it. This is what we need. You're being, you're filling in for Dusty. This is exactly what he's saying. It's the same rant Dusty would be going on. Trust me. Yeah. And Aaron needed to hear it. Yeah, I did. Yeah. I've been out there on those scooters. You like it. Yeah. With girls. Yeah. Did you ever have fun?

Yeah. I've had a good time. In college, you would drink like, what'd you say? 30 beers at a time. We don't need to get into the statistics. Well, he shared it on this podcast. You said that. It was a long time ago. People had forgotten. I've had a good time two or three times. I think. Yeah. Yeah. I've had fun a few times. Yeah. Okay. Have you? No. Okay. Straight and narrow. No. Not even a hundred years ago.

I'm a hundred. So you're just young. And so, you know, you're saying I should be having more fun than I am. I don't think so now. Okay. Now it's too, now it's too late. Now it's too late. It's too late. You have two cats.

I think you're having the most fun. I think you have all you can handle. You're right for now. That's for sure. It's a lot. It would appear that Notre Dame and Vanderbilt are headed for a collision in the college football playoffs. That is true. Both 1-0. How about that, dude? Both undefeated. Beat Hawaii. Beat Navy. When are you guys going to get a scoreboard?

We got one. It sways in the wind, but we got one. But, you know, there's a lot of stadiums that when they're being built, they play and they don't have half the stadium. Like everybody got mad at Vanderbilt. They're redoing their stadium. And so they're playing and it's not finished this whole season. And so everybody's making fun of Vanderbilt. And I was like, oh, I guess that's crazy bad. Then you realize everybody does this.

They all play on stadiums that are half built. That's for sure. And they're in the middle of it. But it's just fun that it's Vanderbilt. Well, and Vanderbilt's probably putting money towards cancer research. Right. Y'all are saving the world. Yeah. Good. Because the University of Tennessee, we've got all of our scoreboards. Yes. Because that's important to us. That's all you got. Vanny had 21,000, which I think they were proud. They barely beat your attendance at Bridgestone. Yeah. Yeah.

But I'll point out to people the Wilson County Fair was going on, so cut us some slack. And that is a good fair. It is a good fair. Speaking of fair, I was at the Alaska State Fair this weekend. Is that what you were doing, my darling? And was that fun? It was very fun. We were supposed to get in one day earlier, and a flight got delayed. Even going to Australia, when I went to Australia,

My flights outside of America, all great. The past three flights I've had, except today. Today I had a flight. That was a 7 a.m. flight. But besides the past three flights, I've had to spend the night somewhere.

Like they're not making it. Really? When we were going to Australia, our flight did not make it in San Francisco in time. So we were either going to have to go fly to San Francisco and spend the night there. And I was like, well, I don't want to do that. I'd rather just, so we just stayed home and just missed the day of Australia.

And, uh, then when I come, when I came home from Australia, we were supposed to be home and, uh, we did not get on the flight home to Nashville. And so we had to spend the night in Dallas. And then, uh, on the way to Anchorage, we had to spend the night in Chicago.

Oh, my darling. Yeah. It's not good. It's not good. Something. What was going on? Especially the mess Anchorage. Nothing. I don't know. You know, just whatever that's, they're delayed. It's just the airports are really bad right now. But it wasn't weather or anything. Just. No, no. It's just not good. And we got on and off. Something was wrong with the plane in Nashville, in the one in Nashville. We got on and off it twice. Twice. And then they were like, we can do it. Yeah.

And then we made it to Chicago. But then it was two. We already missed that other one. In Anchorage, there ain't like anything like going to Atlanta. You have that one boat out.

Did you get to see a big whale or eagles or anything like that? We saw a grizzly bear. Yeah. Yeah. We went on. Yeah. So we're supposed to do this float plane, which I was very excited about. And you go to a glacier and you go to this place with those bears and all this other stuff. And that's the thing we missed. And so we couldn't do that. And so then we went on a hike and we did this long hike.

I mean, it was like a 14-mile hike. Wow. Yeah, it was a lot. You ran a 5K. I took his breath away, dude. Yeah, it was a lot. That's a lot. Oh, it's a lot. Yeah. And then we – I gasped. And when we did it, we didn't see anything on the way out. But supposedly this was like a local hike, and supposedly there's a lot of animals. But we didn't see any. The weather was not great the whole time we were there. And then we're going back, and Eric, the barber –

He spotted, uh, he hunts. So he's good at like spotting stuff. And up on this Ridge was a grizzly bear. And then we saw him and, uh, and it was crazy. It's so crazy. It was so big. It was, it, it, it was, it was very far away up this Ridge, but did Eric, Eric post? Yeah, he did. And then, uh,

It was such a crazy... I mean, dude, we were so excited. I was so excited. It really made the trip. Not that I didn't... I wanted to... I just wanted to see more. Yeah, it's like right there. So it's way up there. We have binoculars and you can look. It was just eating. I mean, it's pretty crazy because you're just seeing it like you would see it on a TV show. Right.

That's the crazy part. And you're in its yard. You're in its territory. Yeah. I think if you feel something different when you see it, and there's no guide with us. It's not a zoo, man. It's not a zoo. It's not someone going, here's where I want to make sure you see a grizzly bear. It was just... Were you scared? I wasn't scared. I liked it. I mean, I...

Chase, who's with us, he looked at it. He goes, all right, it's good. Let's get out of here. He wanted to leave immediately. Because they can run fast, can't they? Oh, they could have hauled down that hill, no problem. Taken all of them out. Yeah. If it wanted to. If it wanted to start running towards us, we wouldn't have been able to make it back to the car. We were still seven miles from the car. But it's way, way up that mountain. I mean, it would have been...

It would have had to be a whole thing. He would have had to wanted to be like, I don't know if he could have even seen us. He could probably smell us. They have the same eyesight we do in hearing. That was so pretty good. Yeah. So if you saw him, it could probably see you. It was very hard to see him. Very hard. There's three of you. I know we have binoculars. Oh, okay. That's the difference. I doubt he had them. And you're yelling, hey, bear. Yeah. It's like, what is that? Yeah.

It sounds like we're trying to get, but he was just out there eating. And it was, it did get weird when we started walking and he would walk, he'd walk kind of sideways with us, but on the mountain. And then we would stop. Cause you'd want to, you're just kind of like, let's just keep an eye on where he's at. And we'd look through it. Then you couldn't find him for a second. Then you're like, Oh boy. Cause he could have come. Oh yeah. I've been to Alaska twice. It wasn't do comedy. It was with Clayton Holmes. Yeah.

And I went on a float plane and the little man, my husband's company. I thought it was a guy. Yeah. I went out there with Clayton Holmes. I don't know who that guy is, but all right. You ever seen his Netflix special? Cause I do a bit about getting on a float plane and that little man, that little crusty man that flew it, who was a bad mama jamma and had a pack of Marlboro Reds in his pocket.

But he asked us all what we weighed in front of other people. And we all lied. Yeah. And then you get on that plane, you think we're all going to go down because we've all lied. It was only 10 of us, but it was nifty, but it was glaciers. And, but the way he flew you, it was like white up here, white down there. You didn't know where you were.

And then you couldn't get your bearings. And then we flew to a lodge where they started the Adidarod and they say, and they cook dinner for us. And they said, we're cooking salmon and just know the brown bears are going to smell it and they're going to come up and they're, and just get in the lodge when they come up. And I'm like, Ooh,

But flying over, we saw moose walking, bears. They also said the Inuits made a deal with the brown bears and said, do not attack us and we won't attack you. And they said that nobody on that little island where the Inuits were had ever been attacked by brown bears because the natives made a deal with them.

with the brown bears. They signed a contract. Yeah. Well, it was, you know, unspoken thing. Would you have done that? Yeah, I would do all of it. I would love to go see everything. I would love to go. But I mean, if the bear was attacking you, he was like, hey, could we just make some type of deal? I think I would bring up, if I knew an Inuit, I'd say his name. Jordan Tutu. Yeah. He goes, is that very well? He goes, wait a second. You know Jordan? He didn't even stop. You did it too, didn't you?

I did a plane like that. Yeah, it wasn't a float plane. It didn't land on water or anything, but it's pretty awesome up there. I'm going back in September. Oh, yeah. I got a show in Ketchikan, Alaska. Did I say this joke? I told Justin to say it. I don't know if it was mean. Alaska is a big man Hawaii.

Because you get to experience nature keeping your clothes on. You don't have to take your shirt off. This is 100%. This is your temperature that you want to go. Like, this is just Hawaii is light jacket weather. Yeah. Yeah. That's the dream. Yeah. This is like perfect. What was the weather like? I told him this. I was like, and I mean, I feel bad coming up with a joke, but it was. Yeah. I was like, it's a perfect joke.

I got a big man all the way. Just a big man up there. Just like, this is great, dude. They got a chair. I mean, not too hot, not too cold. It's perfect. It's perfect. Yeah, it was like 62, very windy, rainy. Yeah. Very windy, though. I mean, yeah. Sounds great. Yeah. Nice breeze. Nice breeze. Yeah.

It was, yeah, it was, we had a little blast. I, it's, I'm ready, I'm already ready to go back because we were, I was there so short of a time and I want to go back and spend a week and, or just go out and I want to take that plane and I want to go see these animals and, you know, I wish I could have done that more. Seeing that bear made,

Everything. Because I've always wanted to see just out in the wild. Well, if you want to be disturbed, go to Skagway and go on the brothel tour. There? There is a brothel tour. Chuck and I thought it was a history tour. Well, they said it was a historical tour. It was a brothel tour.

When the gold rush, men would go out there and hire women. And there was different degrees of women. There were women that were in the brothel and had a bed and nice wallpaper. They could pick out their own wallpaper. And then there were women that were in sheds. They cost a little less. Then there were women that carried a mattress on their back.

And men, they just lay in a ditch. Wow. This is the Red Onion Saloon? I'm telling you. You know, I don't know. There was a girl in a saloon dress that said, she said, shimmy across this street and follow me. And we didn't know what we were getting into. That's crazy. Look at them, bless their hearts. So one would wear, they'd wear

on their back just deliver. Strap a mattress on their back and then get in a ditch. I'm just saying what it was. Yeah, right. And then, but the, I guess the really cute girls got to be in the brothel. Uh-oh. And there was alcohol being served and they could pick out their own wallpaper for their own little room. Yeah. That's nice. When was this? Like 65? Yeah.

When was the Gold Rush? When was all that hoopla? 1849, right? The 49ers. 49ers. So, yeah. Like, pre-right around Civil War time. Klondike. All those men. You know what I would say, too? This would be Alaska. It's... Like, when you look at it, it's... We talked about it. We talked about Alaska. It's so big. It's... But, you know, like, the...

Sarah Palin thing when they talk about the Russia thing. It is true. Russia is... There's a point... It's like 60 miles. Yeah, it's close. It's very close. Connected by ice. Yeah. Like it was... I mean, I don't remember the context of what it was. But when you go there, you're like...

yeah but i mean it is they act like i feel like when everybody made fun of it's like well it's this crazy far away or whatever the reason is and then you really look at the map and you're like it's very close fit and distance for sure yeah yeah i mean we're there to rush you go up to i mean you have to get way on up there yeah then you throw something over there i don't know uh but it was it was light till 10 i want to go back i mean i'd like to go with the uh

A little bit earlier. I think the weather's a little better. July. I think July is when we went. It was very pleasant. Yeah. We well watched. Yeah. I didn't get to do that. Yeah. That looks like those girls that took us on a tour. That girl on the left looks like Chuck. Chuck put on a dress and a little lipstick. But yeah, that's what those girls and they took us through that.

But we did that. We did the float plane. You got to go to the, to the taco lodge. Taco lodge. T-A-Q-U, I think is what it's called. I didn't think you had to spell taco. And that's where. When you started spelling taco, I was like, I think we got it. T-A-K-U. I think. Glacier Lodge. Yeah. We went there and they cooked salmon for us. And they said big old mosquitoes were there and big bears. Yeah.

Did the mosquitoes, I mean, did you see the bears? They came up? Yes. And we got in the lodge. Yeah. They smelled the salmon. You know, my son's an outdoorsman, so he loved it. He loved it. But my girls loved it too. Yeah. It's, you're, you are out there. It's a long flight. It was a seven hour flight from Chicago.

Wow. Yeah. It's not easy. It was to L.A. was five and a half hours. It doesn't even look real. Did you notice that? It looks like a picture book. It does. And then you try to take pictures of it and it just doesn't do it justice. Right. It's beautiful. Yeah. The State Fair was you just had mountains. It's hard not to be on stage looking at those mountains. Was there a lot of people at their State Fair? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Were women making jelly and that kind of stuff? I didn't get to walk through the state fair, really. So I don't know. They had big vegetables are a big thing there. And then I'd imagine, yeah, I'd imagine people making jelly, I guess. Yeah, maybe blubber. Oh, could have been. You know, some kind of whale oil. Yeah, yeah. That's what they're known for. Yeah, you get those mountains back there. So you're just like looking at those.

And it's very windy. But the crowd was awesome. And, yeah, you just stare at those mountains. You could get yourself lost in there. I, like, forgot where I was at one point because you're just looking at, I mean, it's just so crazy looking at these mountains. Yeah, it's up there. I told them that's where I'm going to go if America falls apart because I think Alaska, they would probably just be like, we're just going to be our own thing now. Yeah. And everybody would be like, yeah, of course. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Yeah.

That's where I think, you know, because you always say where people say, where would you move to? I mean, I think you have to go up there if they if they let you. They might shut it off. But I did a show. I would mention that I go, I did a show. You don't have a comedian. Right. New Zealand and Alaska in August. Yeah. I mean, we talked about that's maybe nobody's done that.

Yeah. The two places you want to escape to. Yeah. Australia, New Zealand. Did you love New Zealand that much? Yeah. You did? I've never been over there. New Zealand was great. It was great. Yeah, you're on the edge of the earth. But it's...

You know, but Alaska is America. So there's something that feels better about it. Yeah. Something feels free. Well, you just got your own plug. It's like your everyday stuff is just your plugs are there. You're this and that. This is 7-Eleven. I mean, yeah. It's not that I wouldn't get used to New Zealand, but it is nice when you're like...

It feels a little more familiar. Yes. Yeah, like Puerto Rico. You know, you can still be tropical, but yet, you know, it's America. Right, right. You know, yeah. And there's a place in Satica, Alaska, or Satica, or something in Alaska. And their average temperature is 48 degrees. Not that bad. Y'all like cold? Are y'all saying to me y'all like cold? No, I don't. Oh, I love it. My husband loves cold. Yeah.

I don't necessarily like cold weather, but it was... Sorry. What are you looking up? It auto-corrected to swastika, Alaska. Sorry about that. That's a town? I should probably get a...

This is just Darren's history. Yeah, I don't think it's Satica. Or yeah, Sitka. Sitka. Yeah. Yeah, Sitka, Alaska. Oh, it looks awesome. The average temperature, it's 70 degrees there right now. But it said the average temperature was 48 degrees. Look at that bald eagle. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that'd be a good place to go to. Oh, yeah, man. Big time. Look at how beautiful. Mm-hmm.

The little town that I went to where the Inuits made the deal with the brown bears, I can't remember what that was called. It's in the inner passage. We stopped at Skagway and then somewhere else. And that little town had a high school of like 19 kids, and five of them went to Ivy League. Oh, wow. Harvard and Princeton. Yeah. And they had totem poles. Mm-hmm.

And your totem pole was your family and all that. It was really interesting. Yeah. And we whale watched there. From the beach, from the side? We went out on a boat that was just for whale watching and they, big whales with eyeballs would come up. It was nifty. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty awesome. When'd you go?

My kids were little the first time we went. And then they were probably like middle school, fourth grade, something like that. And they loved it. Still talk about it. Yeah. We took my parents and my mother and father-in-law. Yeah. And it was a cruise. And it was kind of cruise where you didn't vomit. You know, I don't like a Caribbean cruise.

You get seasick? Waves. Yes. I'm very sissy. Me too. I'm the worst. And this one was like glass. And you could just sit out there and watch eagles. And they'd dive down, get fish, come up. I mean, it was unbelievable. Would you? And so it was a, I think my parents went on a cruise there too. And are you staying in hotels too? No. Or are you staying on the boat? We stayed on the boat. Yeah. Wow. With a bunch of kids. Yeah.

Is it a huge cruise ship? I think that one might have been one of those princess kind of something like that. Yeah, I think that's probably a good thing to go see Alaska. I'd imagine. And we just stopped at those little towns. You want to just go out there. I want to go and just be. We were on that hike. I mean, there's still some people, but man, there's so much that you want to go. I want to go to where there's nobody.

Leanne, have you watched the show Alone on Netflix? Have you heard of it? No, I don't. They send 10 people out in the middle of nowhere. They get to bring 10 items with them and they give them cameras and it's just the who can last there the longest. Oh my Lord. People last up there 90 days. I mean, four or five months. Is it normal people or are they...

Is it celebrities like Corey Feldman? Oh, no. Okay. It's normal people. Yeah. No, these are people that this is what they do. They're into wilderness survival and stuff. So they're into it. And if you win, for the last person standing, you get 500 grand. So they're motivated to stay out there. But...

My boy could do it. I think my boy could. Yeah. He's got two babies now. He can't go anywhere. But he's a minimalist and survival kind of, he knows that kind of stuff. Mm-hmm.

How does it... Do they just finally say, I give up? Or does people stop them like you're about to die? The ones I've seen, they come out and they do a medical check. And they're like, you're going to die if you stay out here. So they yank them. But a lot of people tap out if they're like, I'm sick of this. I know I'm probably not going to win. I'm hungry. So they just tap out. Yeah, they got a thing with a button that they press. Chuck Morgan watches a show. And it was on last night. And it's people nude outside.

out in the wilderness and it, and it blurs out their doings. And it, and I said, I don't want to watch this. It's either, it's either watching that or big bang theory. And I don't like all that. And they're out there digging coconut and blurring out their private parts. Well, that's naked. Yeah. It's naked and afraid. I've watched, uh, I used to watch a lot of it. Uh, but,

I haven't watched it in a while, but it is like when we were hiking, we were talking about that. Like imagine doing this and then you have no clothes on and it's, and I mean, you're, you know, it's even if it was 60 degrees and windy and rainy, I mean,

It is cold. And you're, it's, uh, grass scratching up on you and stuff too. Yeah. Nightmare. Nightmare. Nightmare. I can't even ride on Delta without a coat. Yeah. It's like hanging meat in there. Yeah. I know. Delta gets cold. Planes get cold. They do get cold. I cannot wear it like a team, but I have to wear a sock.

Don't y'all wear socks and tennis shoes when you're on a plane? Yeah. What was the other thing would you wear? What else do you wear? Well, I see some people in like sandals and I just think they're crazy. Would you wear? No, dude. I wear shoes, man. Oh my gosh. Let me tell y'all because I would like to. Like wear those Walmart slippers, Erin? Slides? Yeah. I would like to wear

I would start wearing a toboggan. I'm not kidding because I think my head gets cold. Let me tell you who I was on a plane with. Who? Machine Gun Kelly. Oh, really? It was a fluke. I got on a plane. It wasn't planned? No. Me and Megan and Machine Gun Kelly were not...

And I got on that thing and was sitting with him. And I said to my children and our group text and our family text, I think I'm sitting by Machine Gun Kelly. They're like, there's no way. He would go private. And I go, well, I think he wears like a size 16 shoe and he's got things hanging from his eyebrows. And he had a big bunny that looked like a bunny had been murdered on a toboggan.

And so I, you know, me, I like people. I love, you know, getting to know people. And I just said, I'm Leanne. And, um, are you, he goes, I am. And he goes, my name is, I think it's Colton Colson. So he didn't go by machine gun. He just, yeah. Well, like we didn't need to even breathe it. He just told me his real name. And I said, get a load of this. I'm from Knoxville. Megan Fox was raised in Oak Ridge. He went.

That's sick. Are you kidding? And I went, no. And I said, how does she stay so darling, her figure with those three little children? And he said, she fast. She does not eat past five o'clock. And I said, well, she is a beauty. And he goes, I will text her and tell her you said that. That'll mean a lot to her. And I was like, wow.

Oh, my Lord. She needs words of affirmation. We all do. But anyway, he was a doll. We had a ball and he showed me pictures of his little girl and he said she's beautiful and I'm crazy about her and I get to see her all the time. We had a ball.

Where were you inspired from? I was in L.A. doing that table read, and he was coming from L.A., and he was going to Atlanta, and he was doing a cameo in a movie, and he was having to read the script, and I heard him say to somebody...

They're killing me. And I've got to be up at 6 a.m. Do I really have to be there? So he's just as tired as we are. Yeah. Yeah. But he was sweet as he could be. He really was. He sat right next to him? Right next to him. Wow. And he had a huge shoe. He had...

tats, things hanging out. He was precious though. He had a sweet spirit. Yeah. Yeah. It's nice to know that he's a nice guy. Yeah. And I told him, I go, I go, I know you don't know me, but I have a Netflix special. I was,

And he went, are you kidding? That's effing sick. You know, all that. And I was like, yeah. I go, I'm a grandma. He was like, what? We had a ball. He and Megan broke up right after that. Oh, I hope that they really did. Do you think she thought she could do better when he told her that? I don't know. Maybe she didn't tell him about Oak Ridge. I know. But that little thing's from Oak Ridge. Yeah.

But he didn't know that until you told him. Yeah. And they got in a big fight. I bet he didn't know. I don't know if they talk about where she's from. I think they just made out. I'm surprised that didn't work out. Drank each other's blood or whatever they did. But no, he was really sweet. But he had on a bunny hat that looked like a bunny had been murdered.

But then was doing this. So he didn't want people to know who he was, but he was doing this. But he had on a hat with bunny ears with blood on it. But he was dressing like him. Yeah. He was dressed like that. Well, it's like, but I don't think... Look at all that hanging out of there. Yeah. He might not have stuff. He might have said about how to get a football game with that. Machine. Machine. Mr. Gun Kelly, could you...

Mr. Gun Kelly. Kelly. What would you even call it? Yeah. Colson. Now I know his name. Colson. You'd be not going to say that. Colson. Yeah. You'd go Kelly. Mr. Kelly. Mr. Kelly. That's probably what I'd do. Mr. Kelly. Could you take your reindeer head off? Your Whipsun chain hat. But I did find this out. He stayed on the plane. Everybody got off. And I didn't know that there's like a celebrity...

through Delta. Like they'll come and get you. Somebody like him and the rest of us, you know, get off. But he waits. He waits till the end. He waits till the end and they come and get him in a car on the tarmac. Yeah. I didn't know that. We've talked a little bit about that on here before. Yeah. There's some of they pay for that. There's there's there's services that you can pay. That's a

Yeah. I didn't know that. Yeah. No. Yeah. And, but Delta has it too. If you fly Delta a lot, I'm sure that his is not bad. I bet. But if you fly Delta a lot, they, uh, I had it when I was flying. We talked about like when I had Delta, when I was flying so much and I was dying with Delta, I had a, uh, right when I got off the plane, they had my name and they took me to my next flight. So I'd make it. Oh,

And it was like when you're, because they do that for when you're the people that fly them so much. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty crazy. On Southwest, they give you an extra bag of cinnamon grams on the flight. If you fly a lot. Yeah. Oh, really? That's our perk. Is it really? Oh, that's a good perk. Yeah, that's not bad. Thanks, man. Yeah.

Yeah. But I got off that plane. I don't know where he went and did a movie. I went and got in a rental car and drove myself to Hayhira, Georgia, and did a private show for darling people at a wedding venue. And then, yeah, so we have very different lives. But anyway, my family, my girls just thought that was crazy. It was crazy. Yeah. Mm hmm.

Yeah. And would you be normal conversation with him? He was precious. I'm telling y'all. He was sweet and had a sweet spirit. I think everybody's very nice. I think it's, you know, it's there. Look at her. She's had a bunch of kids. Yeah. And she doesn't feel pretty. Have you ever? Look at her. He goes, oh, no, she doesn't think she. I go, are you kidding me? She doesn't. She eats one meal a day and it's not after five o'clock. Don't you know that little thing's hungry? Yeah. But look at her. Yeah. Yeah.

You helped her by getting out of that relationship. I don't know. I mean, I think he was sweet. She didn't have a baby by him. I'm shocked. Oh, she didn't. No, she's got babies by. Yeah. Brian Austin Green. Yes. You know pop culture. I don't. How did you know? Laura just said it the other day. That guy, he actually messaged me once. Brian Austin Green. 90210? Yeah. Yeah.

And then, uh, and, but then Laura said his name to me because we, I don't know why. Uh, but yeah. Okay. That's why, that's why I'm on top of it. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Likely story. Yep.

I was in Boston all weekend. Oh, yeah. Boston. Great weekend. Yeah, that's a great club. Boston was awesome, man. Pittsburgh, Boston. Then I was in Cape Cod last night. Just a great weekend, man. Just a great. A lot of people came out. It's just so much fun. So it was cool. We were we were close by. Dusty was in Portland, Maine. We were all like 45 minutes from each other. Yeah. This weekend was pretty crazy. I think a lot of people. That soon? That 40, really 45 minutes? Yeah.

I mean, I don't know. I didn't check the map, but everybody said it's pretty close. Oh, that's so tiny up in there. I don't know. Is it Pennsylvania? I don't guess that's New England, is it? No. No, I guess not. But you guys were both in New England. Pittsburgh's on the opposite side. Pittsburgh's so far away. Yeah, Pittsburgh's near Ohio. Let me clarify what I just said. I guess Portland, Maine's close to where I was in Boston. Yeah. And we were close in Pennsylvania. Yes. But not the three of us together. Yeah. Yeah.

Sorry about that, everybody. Can I tell y'all that I was in Des Moines? Yes. And then I was at the Chicago Theater. But in Des Moines, a bat swooped down at my head. And that is such an old theater, and I know you've probably worked it. I've worked in that, and I've had a bat thing. Hoyt Sherman. Hoyt Sherman? The name of the bat? No. The old man that gave a bunch of money. Yeah. And they said, we've got a bat problem.

And they said it was a huge bat. And we were trying to video and didn't get it on video. You never get anything fun like that. You're on stage when this is happening? I was on stage and it was eating bugs. The first night, women in the lobby at the hotel said, did you hear us gas? I went, no. And they go, there was a bat on stage with you. I had no idea. The next night, I kind of forgot about the bat.

And I didn't think anything about it. Hey, baby. And I was toward the end and the whole audience went, and I thought somebody was coming behind me and going to kill me. I really did. I thought, well, some lunatic. Yeah. And they said, it is a bat. And they said, it's a big bat laying in. And so then, you know, I just kind of felt vulnerable the rest of the show. What are you supposed to do? I know. But a little man in the front, I go, can it do anything to me? And he went, no.

No, it can't. But then other people said, oh, they said it likes to get in women's hair. Bats like to get all up in mom's hair. Oh, really? And a mama's hair and get in it and stay in it. Yeah. And keep flapping. That's mama hair 101. True. And then the third night we filmed thinking, oh, that'll be fun. We'll get bat footage. Yeah.

Bad didn't come out. Yeah. It knew. It knew. Yeah, camera shy. Yeah. But little Maddie that's without back said, I've got a net back here. Like she was going to catch it. Yeah. But, you know, it added to the show.

Yeah, I remember having the bat, and I didn't know it until afterwards. And I did a joke, and people were like, they gasped at me. I was like, is that a fence? I thought I made the crowd mad, but I just went through it, and they saw a bat. Same thing. Oh, my Lord. Yeah, in that place. In the same place? Yeah.

Yeah. We need to close the windows or something in this theater. They said there's cracks up in there and they filled the cracks where they still get in. They said you could see bugs through the lights. They're eating the bugs. It's kind of part of it. You just know going in. There might be some bad stuff. Does that place smell like cereal? Or is that? Oh, shoot. I don't know, my darling. Any specific kite? No, I thought they made cereal there.

But I could be thinking of it. There is a place that makes cereal. In Des Moines. And I've been to it. What is that town that makes, and they make all the cereal. Yeah. And it smells like cereal. Yeah.

Davenport, Iowa? Yeah. Oh, maybe. Yeah. Maybe that's right. Yeah. We did Davenport. You went with me to Davenport. Yeah? Yeah. Do you remember it smelling like cereal? I don't. That woman gave us that little tour around the city. That darling woman. Yeah. She was cute. What kind of cereal do you eat, Brian? Bran. Bran flakes. Bran flakes. I got to stay regular, so. You know, we talked about cereal in here, and I said Corn Flakes was his. Oh, yeah. That's right. Yeah.

the go-to cereal. Yeah. You eat cereal? Not much. I like it, but not much. I thought of this the other day. You remember the one that had the red box with the frog on it? Sugar pops? Sugar smacks. Sugar smacks. They were good. Do you remember how good they were? Oh, yeah. Do I remember?

Do they still make them? Oh, I think so. Probably. Honey smack. Oh. Talking about this right here with the clown on it. No. I don't remember that. The frog. Yeah. Oh, they were good. And I do love a Rice Krispie treat if I've got time to make it from scratch. I do think that's good. Oh, yeah.

But my husband's more of the cereal person. We're back into with Eleanor. Now we're doing Fruit Loops, Cheerios, Apple Jacks, anything like that that she can practice on. Yeah. Actually out of a bowl with milk? No, no, no. Or just individually? Individual. Okay. Yeah. All right. You said she could tear up a puff. She can tear up a puff. Yeah. She's a puff machine. My grandma eats puffs too. Yeah.

And he's eating cereal out of a bowl with milk. And it is so cute. Spilling it everywhere. Uh-huh. Yeah. Harper doesn't like cereal. She doesn't? No. What does she eat for breakfast? Muffins or, you know, something like one of those little muffin thing or something. She's never liked cereal. What are you eating on the road when you go? Because Chuck Morgan is in my ear saying, you better eat the Continental. Yeah.

It's free. Don't go to the Panera land. Why would you do that? That's stupid. So I have to go and figure out whatever they're... Do you try to eat the continental in a hotel? Yeah, if they have breakfast there, yeah, I'll go there. I don't always eat breakfast.

A lot of times you're on the road. Sometimes you're not even in a hotel. You're just in your bus or whatever. But if they have breakfast, we'll go down and eat their breakfast. But I'm trying to eat more food, like fruit and stuff like that. I ate a lot of fruit this weekend. I had a cherry plum and it was something. Good.

It was something. Was it red all the way inside? Yes. Okay, because Charlie Morgan, my boy, said, I bought some and took them somewhere. And he said, oh, my gosh, Mom, I never can find these. And it's red all the way through. You can't find them. Yeah, very cherry plums. And I said, now that I know that, you will have plums the rest of your life, honey.

Yeah. 50 pounds of plums. It was unbelievable. Changed your life. Well, I'm trying to eat because I would eat so bad and I would eat sugar. So I'm trying to eat kiwi too. A bunch of kiwi. Kiwi's good. I like kiwi. I don't think I've scratched the surface of fruit. Right.

I've done banana and apple and I like green grapes. But I mean, that plum was something. I didn't think I'd like a plum. Oh, my darling. Eat some cherries at night in your hotel room or on the bus before you go to bed and that'll help you sleep. Really? That's got a natural sleep.

Melatonin? Something in it. I don't know what. I don't really pay attention. I just hear the... But cherries. Any kind of tart cherry juice or eat a few cherries. Cherry, zero, Dr. Boebert. Does that count? That knocks me right out. That knocks me right out. Sorry, some of you guys' comments. Jared, shower man. Shower man. Yeah, schnauzer man.

You know, that's like Schnauzer. It smelled like Schnauzer. Schnaumann. There's not a name. I bet it's Schnaumann. Oh, Schaumann. I've lost 20 pounds this year on a keto diet, but after listening to the latest fast food episode, I drove straight to the nearest Arby's and ordered a beef and cheddar curly fries and Jamocha shake. Aaron Webber special. It was amazing in the moment, and then the fatigue and self-loathing kicked in. If there ever is a part three, I may have to reluctantly opt out. Mm-hmm.

Yeah, that's the part you got to get. That's when you start eating good or eating when you eat bad. You got to like this. The thing that I got to remember is you got to remember that fatigue is

Like, you're like, I'm about to be tired. You're going to feel it later in the day. Later in the day. I can feel it. Right away? Pretty, pretty quick. Middle of the meal? No, middle of the meal. Depends on what the meal is. But you feel it pretty quick. You ever tap out mid-meal in fast food? No, I get through it. I get through it, too. And then you may have it like a sinking spell, what my people would call a sinking spell. What's a sinking spell? Where you feel like somebody took the air. I mean, just you don't feel good. Yeah.

You know, I got to lay down. I need a comedy now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's that stuff that, yeah, it's just brutal. Spencer Cope, the care and seriousness with which you took animal fights is what made it great. Why in the world would you rush through something like this? This topic is or should have been Coronetland. So, Liam, last week we did a bracket of fast food restaurants where we took 32 fast food restaurants and paired them up against each other for a winner. Yeah.

People were fired up about... I think we may have gotten more comments about this than any topic we've ever had. Oh, really? We got over 300 just YouTube comments, and people were pretty fired up. Even last night at my show, people were fired up. About? Our... What we...

results were and the speed that we ran through it. They, they, they wanted to go slower. They wanted to get into it. I took a lot of heat in Boston this weekend for, uh, we eliminated Duncan in the first round. Yeah. How are you going to come up to Boston and take Duncan off first round? You know, sorry. We don't have that. Uh, are we having, isn't it crazy what people get fired up on? Yeah. But I just thought we just did the animal bracket. So I was just like, felt like a lot. Yeah.

So were there animals fighting too? We did a whole one with an animal. You know, those animal fight episodes, they have like twice as many views as our other ones. Were y'all talking about what kind of animals can survive against each other? Yeah. Pairing them up against each other. Oh. Who's the top dog? The elephant. The elephant won the whole thing. Oh, the elephant. That was the only one we were really reasonable with. Yeah. Hmm.

And then fast food, yeah, we were getting some McDonald's. But I think we just, we talk about fast food so much, I just thought it'd be like an overkill. That's why I was like, we get so fast. I think it's the right instinct. And people love McDonald's. Is that the main one? People were pretty upset. Most people wanted us to pick Chick-fil-A. Yeah. Which I love Chick-fil-A. I had no problem with that. I like Chick-fil-A, but McDonald's is McDonald's, man. Come on.

We're not animals. Yeah. Oh, is it? Cause I love, I'll tell you what I love and little care meals and I'll do this. And then we regret it. And we say, why did we do that? We need a therapist, but I love whichever one it is where you get two cheeseburgers.

The little cheeseburgers. At McDonald's? It's called the two cheeseburger meal. Yeah, that's mine too. You got to say it now. It used to be the number two and then they changed it. It's number seven. You got to say two cheeseburger with a fry. Now it's number seven or you got to say it. Oh, really? It used to be just the number two. Oh. Yeah. But I think those little cheeseburgers are so yummy. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. That's what we're all about. I had McDonald's this morning at the Pittsburgh airport. You did? Yeah. Their breakfast is great. Do y'all still like a Big Mac? Oh, yeah. I do too. I like a Big Mac too. I don't do that often. Every once in a while, little Karen gets real crazy and gets a fish sandwich.

I like filet-o-fish. I'll get a Big Mac and a side filet-o-fish. I'll do a two Big Mac meal like you do the cheeseburgers. Get after it. Two fries? No, I'm not. Come on, dude. I'm not crazy.

Did anybody say Wednesdays? If there's other, yeah, I'll get some extra stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Somebody else might want some, you know. Yeah. I'll get another one. Is this for one or two? We'll see. There's a family in here, in the hotel. When you get ordered room service. How many people are eating? Three? You're like, no, just one. Arvid.

I'm questioning everything I thought I knew. Krispy Kreme out in the first round, I may have to unsubscribe. Look, Krispy Kreme is, yeah, I agree. It went up against someone, Dairy Queen or something. Krispy Kreme shouldn't have been out that quick, but Krispy Kreme is just not. They're not doing their job as a business. You go there, the donuts are bad.

They've been there forever. It's not... Is this just one location that you're talking about or you kind of scout out a few of them? I mean, even when I was in L.A.,

I got, dude, I was going to LA phase where I would go every morning. I would, when we lived there, I would drop Harper off at her school, her little daycare kind of thing that we went to. And then I would go and I found a Krispy Kreme and I would go every single day and get four or five donuts. And it was better back then? Uh, it'd be hit and miss, but I mean, it was like, that's when it was like starting to be hit and miss.

where you would get a note, like the donuts just are a little bit older, a little bit, you know, they just weren't as good because they've been sitting out. And then the one over here in Brentwood is, I mean, it has gotten...

You go, I'll guarantee you the donut's going to be bad. It's guaranteed to be a bad donut. It's been sitting there for too long. And I don't know why it's even open. So mine is a disappointment in Krispy Kreme. Are they franchises? Yeah. Krispy Kreme? Are they? Is that? Yeah. Have you ever heard of Krispy Kreme? Yeah, I have. Knoxville's got, I think, did it start? Where did it start? We started here.

No. Because something's big in Knoxville with that. There's a Krispy Kreme light stays on all the time. But I don't go. I mean, I love a Krispy Kreme. And it's like, do you remember when Duck Dynasty boys size said, if they're hot, you need 12. If they're cold, you need one. Yeah. They just kind of.

Yes. You know. If they're cold, it's, yeah, that's what I mean. And they've really been cold lately. Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Oh, okay. But I think, scroll down to early years. I feel like there's some Nashville connection, like maybe. Paducah, Kentucky. Oh, there it is. The store struggled during the Great Depression. In 1934, they moved to the larger city of Nashville, Tennessee. How about that? Gallatin Road. You remember? Was that a big deal when they showed up? During the Depression? I was there. They opened.

And he moved it there because his favorite cigarettes, Camel, were there in the North Carolina city. So he wanted to smoke and eat donuts. Yeah. This guy sounds like the man. Yeah, not fun. He sounds fun. This guy's living it up. I bet that's when they were great. Yeah. The 30s? Camels? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I do love a donut.

But, you know, I just don't ever get them because they do make me feel like somebody's drugged me. It's like being Mickey'd in a bar. Yeah.

Not that that's ever happened to me. I've heard about it. But I mean, I do. I think donuts make me feel like I got to go lay down. That's one of those foods. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's tough. Holly Smith. I'm appalled at how quickly you ran through the Popeye's versus Domino's bracket fight. And you chose Domino's. You barely even talked about the cultural phenomenon Popeye's.

What other franchise restaurants you know that have such consistently poor speed and service, but great enough food that people just accept the reality, wait that long, and ensure verbal abuse? That's a good point. That's a good point. Yeah. I do like that because it is where you're – it could be the service. I guess I don't go to Popeye's enough.

I go through and pick some up from my mom and dad in Cookville on the way home from Knoxville. And they don't give you change back. They go, too bad. Really? Yeah. Shut the door. I go, I think I'm supposed to get cake. Nope. And I just take it. Yeah. Because they like a good, you know, I think is it spicy chicken? And then that sandwich is out of the squirrel. Oh, the sandwich is great. Yeah. But we don't have them in Knoxville. I take the change. I donate to the Popeyes Foundation.

for a kid. That's very different. But they may story way in. No, it's just kids. There's no Popeye's Foundation. Okay. Yeah. But yeah, with some young kid and they went, no, you don't. I shut the door. It's not a bad scam for a kid to run. A teenager working fast food. Don't give change back. That'll add up slowly. Yeah. But you're going to most people are going to

Be like, well, you owe me this change. In fairness, it's probably the first time this kid's seen money. I mean, most people nowadays pay with a card. Oh, cash. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm weak. And I think he smelled that. I think most people would do it. I would do that too. To me. If it were like a dollar. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. I would do what you did, Leanne, in that situation. If it were like a dollar.

I'm not going to wait there and knock on the window. I just, God, you know,

Yeah. Chalk that up. Offer it up. You know what I mean? That's a dollar. I think it was a lot of change, though, that you're supposed to give me. You gave me like a 50. And he was like, sorry, I've closed the door. I'd have to get a manager. Oh, it's okay. Yeah. And he was like, they're not here. I mean, it just went on and on. I was like, okay. Yeah, but I don't like conflict. So I think I just drove off. But they've got good chicken. Mm-hmm. And I think during Thanksgiving, you can get a fried turkey, but you got to order it. Mm-hmm.

I think this is this person's point. Is that happened to you, but you still sing their praises? Yeah. You still are like, yeah, it's good food. I was treated like dirt every time I go, but it's a good stuff. It's like an abusive boyfriend in Hoska. They like it. Chris B., you knock out Whataburger in In-N-Out in round one, and then Hardee's makes the final. In what multiverse is Hardee's beating out anyone?

I agree. What were y'all thinking? We made some poor choices, I guess. Yeah. Hardee's is... Their breakfast is...

something to hang your hat on. Yeah, it is. I mean, that's, you're not thinking about breakfast. They got a breakfast. But you don't feel like when you go in there, you're slipping around on some grease. Oh, yeah. It's dirty. I could, yeah, I wasn't thinking about that. And I think I, I think a little older Hardee's. So it's also, I wonder if it's the age of this person. Cause if they go to Hardee's like the, and you're like my head, I'm picturing like,

When I'm doing delivery jobs and I'm getting Hardee's 25 years ago and go get there early. The breakfast line, the drop-through line was a long line. Hardee's breakfast was. Yeah, it was. That's when they added that burger. I think I'm thinking the wrong time, so I could see that. But their burgers did taste like they had been grilled.

Yeah, the Thickburger stood out at the time. It changed the game, I think. Yeah, we probably went too quick, and so that's why some of the stuff was not. But I just thought we did too. I'm trying to just get a gauge to be. I don't know what people. I think our reasoning was, Leanne, In-N-Out, the fries. I do not like their fries.

Too little. So that upset everybody in California. And then Whataburger, Dusty made the point that since they changed ownership out of Chicago, that they went downhill. I don't know how he knew that. Because I haven't been to one. When my kids were, we lived in San Antonio when they were little and they loved Whataburger. And I have just haven't had, we haven't had one in Knoxville. I think we're getting one. They just opened one here in Nashville, right? Not too long ago. A few around the area now. Yeah, they're starting to pop up more.

So, yeah. Give another chance. Yeah. Joe McAtee. I love that Nate tried to describe to us what Bojangles is, like by using this much smaller, even less known franchise. Great job, folks. Talking about Lee's. Yeah. You ever heard of Lee's? Lee's Chicken. Lee's Chicken. Lee's Chicken. They used to be around, though. A lot of people emailed us and said, yeah, we still got one in our town or stuff like that. The grandson of Lee even.

Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that's fun. Lee Jr. Yeah. What, uh, what is that? He said, uh, he was, Lee was, uh, like the nephew of Colonel Sanders or something like that. Oh,

Wow. Yeah. A little family feud. Well, you can say that, but just, yeah, just they got it in their blood. Wow. This is what they do. Are they going to send y'all some chicken? Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if you go over there, you're always, you know, it's like we're having dinner and part of our house and you're like, chicken. What do we have? We're doing chicken. Chicken when we get in our plane. Yeah. Because they made a lot of money off of chicken. Yeah. I saw Colonel Sanders when I was little.

I don't think he's a real person. He was. I know, I'm joking. At a buffet in Owensboro, Kentucky, where my people vacation. Y'all flew down to Owensboro? Y'all flew over to Owensboro? Yeah. Well, we drove. But yeah, they had an indoor booth and a buffet, and that's where we went. Yeah. And every once in a while, somebody like Ricky Skaggs would come through and play. And Owensboro and...

Paducah. And Colonel Sanders was there. I think in his 80s or 90s. Did he have his suit and stuff on? Yes.

Was he like doing a meet and greet? No, he was going through the buffet. Oh, really? And I mean, it was Colonel Sanders, but I may be crazy. You may Google something. It may be an imposter, but I was a child. How old did he live? He was born in 1897. Or this picture, he was born in 1890. He died in 1980. Yeah, he could have gone to Owensboro, Kentucky. He died in Louisville, Kentucky.

So he was in Kentucky. Yeah. Oh, he had a head of Ben Ham. Day to day, he would wear that. Yeah, he had a bolero on. That little tie. And that white jacket. And that's what he looked like. I'm not kidding, y'all. I could, yeah. Look at this picture of him and his mom in 1897. His mom looks about nine years old. Yeah. Just different time, huh? Uh-huh. Well, it's a different time. What are you doing?

He's using his binoculars. I was just looking at the picture. Is that how you look? You put your hand... I don't know what I was doing just now. It felt right in the moment. I was looking at it. I wonder what he did with his money. What would you do back then? Buy a Porsche? He's probably before Porsche. I don't know when to...

They just probably had land. Yeah. I bet they just owned a bunch of land. And he would do, they probably put it back in his business. In 1964, at 73 years old, he sold the company to a group of investors for $2 million. Wow.

It would be $18.9 million today. Yeah. And then he retained control of operations in Canada and became a salaried brand ambassador for KFC. So he was just sold it. And then he was just hired as an employee to be in the commercials and stuff. Oh. So he didn't have quite as much as I thought he would. Yeah. But I mean, I think he had a bunch. He was doing all right. He's doing all right. Yeah. But not. It's a lot.

It's a lot to probably run that company. That was good chicken. Kentucky Fried. Yeah. It's good chicken. It is. It is. Jonathan Eldridge. Eldridge.

Another great episode, Brahms Bates. Keep up the good job on picking subjects. I've been in more than one argument about how many people you can order for in the drive-thru. I say no more than five. Any more than that, and you have to go inside out of courtesy to those behind you. Being the premier fast food podcast, I wanted to see where you guys land on this. Yeah, I would agree with that. I don't like ordering. I really...

If I'll do one and even if he gets more than that, I'm like, let's go inside. But if someone else is going to be the one ordering, I'll let them order. Someone's comfortable with it, but I get uncomfortable trying to, what do you want? Yeah.

Yeah, you got to be smart about it. Be efficient. Get the order. It's almost not about how many people are in the car. It's just about how efficient the order is. Yeah, what are we doing? If it takes a while, what do you want? Then they try to yell it out and stuff. Leanne, did you ever order for the whole family in the car driving through places? I don't know. Were you allowed to drive? Not much. And Chuck Morgan would say, what do you want right now? He's a real, you know, diet. Yeah. Yeah.

And, you know, you've been to these places a million times. Remember Sinbad had that old bed about people going to McDonald's and look at that same menu. Yeah. Go, I don't know. Let me think about it. Yeah. Chuck has no patience. So we all, I'll take the number two. Can I get a Diet Coke? I remember going to Dollywood with him and I would be breastfeeding somebody and parched.

You know, it takes a lot out of you. Sure does. And it goes, we're getting one drink and we're all going to share it. Little children would. And I wanted my children to have, be hydrated. You know, I went dehydrated for probably 15 years. I think everybody does.

Most people are. Yeah, we would do. We could only get one drink and stuff like that. Yeah. Your little daddy would say one drink. Oh, yeah. You weren't allowed to get. We weren't allowed to get. Yeah, we had no soda rule. Chuck Morgan would say nobody gets that adds so much to the bill. Yeah, he did that too. So you'd get everybody just get water. There's a water rule. Everybody going gets water when we go out to eat. Uh-huh. We fix that.

Yeah. Now you're making up for lost time, huh? Yeah. Free refills. Yeah. They don't do free refills in Australia. Most other places. I don't think they do. You know? Yeah.

But that's a little bit. I think that's an American thing. Yeah, yeah. The huge glass unlimited Diet Coke. That's American. How was that? You guys know Cane's or Raising Cane's? Yeah. There's a new one that opened not far from, maybe the only one in Nashville. I don't know. And I was in there the other day and if you buy a certain meal, you get a Post Malone cup. Yeah, yeah. Post Malone meal. Okay. Yeah. I thought that was an unusual thing.

person to have as your... Well, that's been an interesting marketing move for some of these companies is to have a celebrity sponsor a meal. I think it was Taco Bell or KFC. One of them had a Jack Harlow meal. It's just an interesting way to get some buzz going. Machine Gun Kelly meal? Machine Gun Kelly slash Leanne Morgan meal. Maybe somewhere. She gets the extra fries. Whatever fries are left. Yeah.

Prentice McDaniel. Prentice McDaniel. My brother is one of the people that got E. coli from Jack in the Box in the 80s. He was eight years old. Multiple doctors told my mother he wouldn't live. Wow. He had open heart surgery and is living well to this day. Also, we won't eat there as a family to this day. God, let him say no. Oh, Lord. That seems reasonable. I mean, no wonder they sued him. Could you?

You seem like you could. At least get some gift cards or something. A guy almost died. Surely, yeah, they paid the medical bills. Well, you'd think so. Yeah, you hope so. Speaking of bills, Liam, are you signing your life away to a big wireless provider that keeps you trapped like you're on a roller coaster?

It looks like you'd walk around and you wouldn't think, I could go up to that guy. I remember thinking I wanted to go up to him, but I was just too scared. But I was very enthralled by famous people. You know, living outside of...

It was in Crossville, Tennessee. About an hour from Lebanon. Yeah. And that's where we would go vacation. What was it called? Mariner's Point. Not, not, uh, there's the big one there is Fairfield Glade. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But we couldn't get in there. So we went to the offshoot Crossville timeshare. Oh. Mariner's Point. And he, yeah. And so you just shared it with other people? Just like certain times a year, I think that would be your weekend and you would go there and have it. We play shuffleboard. Yeah. Yeah.

In Crossville. Yeah. It's a good time. Yeah. An hour from your house. Yeah. We'd drive home at night. No, we'd stay. Well, it's probably good to have. I always think if you did have something like that, it would be good to have it close because you would actually use it. Yeah. Versus if it's too far. If you had a cabin in the woods and if you had it be like an hour and a half away, you would probably go to it a little bit more than you would if it was...

Down at the beach. Eight hours away. Yeah. And you're like, I don't know if I can go out there. You might go every weekend. Yeah. But it's probably, you know, somewhere in the middle. Gatlinburg. Yeah. Maybe two or three hours away. Yeah. But you're not going to pop up there as much. Two, three. If you drove here to Gatlinburg, you know, you could talk yourself out of it a little bit easier. Uh-huh.

Okay, I can see that. Because you're like, I don't know. It's just so funny to pop. I could talk myself out of driving to Crossville quite a bit. A lot of people could. Yeah, but if you were like, I needed to run, if you were an hour away from your vacation spot and it was on the lake and all that stuff, you could even be like, I'm going to run out there today and go fish. I'll be back. Because it's only an hour. Like I'm saying, you would use it maybe like that. Yeah. Do people here go to Center Lake? No.

Yeah. And have homes. Yeah. Center Hill Lake. Center Hill Lake. Yeah. Yeah. Remember when we stopped in Pigeon Forge on your bus and you guys were gonna go to Dollywood, I guess, or whatever. And Aaron and I were, and I was like, Aaron, there's one Uber in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. And this lady would come get us. And Leanne says, she'll drive us. If we can get to Knoxville, she'll drive us the West way to Nashville. We went to your house. Oh, that's right. You made us breakfast. Yeah.

It was a fun time. It was a great day. Yeah. We had quiche. Yeah. Why did y'all have to leave? We just had to get back for something. Yeah. Great. And there was one Uber in all of Pigeon Forge, I think. And this lady came, picked us up. Basically, it was just her. And her car was low to the ground. I remember her. Yeah. Yeah. It was like. It was. It was like. Low on the ground. And she pulled me to her neighbor. She's like.

This is the nicest neighborhood I've ever seen. But you do have a nice neighborhood. Thank you. It's not like this neighborhood. Yeah. But see, I'm a Dollywood fan. Did y'all have a good time? Yeah. Dollywood's awesome. It was amazing. It's the first time I've ever been. And I really liked it. It is. It's cute. Caleb Hufford. Hufford. The Dairy Queens in Texas have a different menu than everywhere else. Wow.

I didn't know that. Yeah. Yeah. I looked that up. That's true. They have a sandwich called the dude. Oh, what is that? I don't know.

Sounds good, though. Trevor Burkett. I'm wondering if anyone has had KFC fries lately. They are the most underrated fry in the fast food game. Very solid taste, great crisp, and decent shape. With that said, the Chick-fil-A waffle fry is always a letdown. Oh, jeez. Oh, boy. I need Chick-fil-A to do tots or something because the five wiggly waffle fries I get with my delicious chicken sandwich is a true letdown.

Oh, boy. Yeah, could be. I mean, I always like Chick-fil-A's fries. I think KFC's fries, I've had them, too, and they're really good. I like that decent shape is one of his selling points. It's all right. It's a good shape, too. You might be pointing out that you don't like the stringy fries. Is it like a crinkle? I like McDonald's. I'm going to look this up. Because I love a crinkle.

New KFC fry. Do y'all like an old-timey drugstore? Oh, for sure. When Revco or whoever used to have a French fry. I mean, yeah, and milkshakes and stuff. This kind of fry. I don't know what you call that, but I can... I thought they had like the more steak fry. Looks like a seasoned fry. That's what I thought they had. Okay. I'll do some more research. Yeah, do a deep dive. Joey Flatou. I had never heard Lee and Morgan talk before this podcast, but now that I have,

I wish her voice was the voice of my inner monologue. Hearing that accent all the time and just her personality, I would be happy all the time. Joey.

You would think that. Thank you, Joey. But after six hours in the car, you're like, can we turn on the radio for a while? No, what happens is I start talking to her like 30 seconds after. It's just hard not to. Everybody does it. I know. My wife does it within 10 minutes. Yeah, it's very. I'm being around you, Leanne. She'll come home and go, yeah, I met this woman at work. She was just darling. You've never said that in your life. Yeah.

Going and a doing. Going and a doing. Well, thank you, Joey. I love being here with my boyfriends. Yeah, we love it. Well, today we are talking about parenting. You just became a parent to a new one, right? Cat. Another cat. Yeah.

I should say, so I feel bad that I'm on this podcast and not Dusty, but maybe I can give a different perspective than the three of y'all. I'll take the kid side in some of these. Well, a lot of people says get up, get a pet first before you have a child to see if you can be responsible with them. Do people say that? Usually it's a dog, but did you ever do that? Yeah. I mean, we got a, our crazy dog. It's harder than the, in the child. So we have, Oh, you had a dog. Like, yeah, I thought you meant like earlier.

No, I mean, everything I do is about 25 to 30 years behind when you're supposed to be. So yeah, I did get a dog at 49 and then I had a baby at 50. So you're like, uh,

Your life is like Cuba. You just got the wrong jerseys and the old movies starting late. You got cars from the 50s. Yeah. Everything's a little. I got DVDs. You go, golly, dude, I just went and watched that new movie, Forrest Gump. And then you're just over there. And you're like, what? Yeah, it just came out. Yeah. Last week. I got a preview of it. Finding out a lot of stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

Let me ask this real quick. Are you the cat person or is Lucy or both of y'all? Lucy's the cat. She had a cat when we met and we had the one cat. But just recently, Nate's sister, Abigail, who you met earlier, found the cat and we took it in. So we've got two now. I don't mind them as much as I used to. I kind of like them. You do? They're low maintenance. They kind of just, you don't have to take them out for a walk. You don't have to let them out. They just kind of do their own thing, you know?

You're not scared? No, these are very friendly cats. They've never bitten me or anything like that. Just hanging out. I think I've just always had experiences with rough. Feral cats? Wild cats. Yeah, yeah. But good. Yeah, I like them. You do? And they're sweet? Yeah, they're nice. How old are your kids, Leanne? They are now, Charlie just turned 30 last week. Okay. And then Maggie's 27 and Tess is 25.

Is there anything you would do differently? What you know now? Oh, I'd do a lot of things different. Well, I'll say that. Let me think about that. I mean, I think I did a pretty good job about most things. They're sweet. They are compassionate. They're not, the baby's kind of spoiled. The rest of them are not. But I think that between me and Chuck, because Chuck's a hard person,

Yes, yes. Can I say that? Sleep that out, guys. We're at the 119 mark, whatever that is. And he, you know, like, got to suffer. Everybody's got to suffer. But I do think that was good that we did not fix everything. I think a lot of people in this generation try to fix everything. And the kids that my kids grew up with, a lot of, you know, are great, but some cannot

cope effectively. And I think it's because you do have to have some suffering that builds character. And I think we did that well. I think I could have pushed them more in school. I was at Dollywood, you know, having a big time. We...

We blew it out and had a big time, but I'm about fun and I'm a dreamer. So the kids were with you. Oh yeah. We were at, yeah, we were at Dollywood. No, no, I'm not a, I'm not an amusement park person. I'm not one of those people, but, but yeah, we had a good time. We laughed and had a, and I think I could have pushed them more and they did fine in school, but you know how people like your people are education people, right? And you're,

Yeah, the teachers loved me because I wasn't a butt to them. They said I had sweet kids. But yeah, we lost papers and stuff, and I wasn't organized. I wish I could have done different than that. I should have been more organized.

But I do think I've raised sweet children that know how to cope effectively if something goes down. Yeah. You know? And I think if you fix everything... Yeah, your children are great. Thank you, my darling. Thank you. Yeah, you can tell. When I saw... We were this weekend... When we had a layover in Chicago. Chicago has the biggest Starbucks. Four floors. Yeah. It's crazy. Yeah. It's cool. And then so we went in there and this...

And she's sitting right next to this little girl with her brother. And then everybody's sitting at a table. And the little girl just, both of them just stand on the table. And the parents are not right there. And I just saw that. And I was like,

You don't have to be perfect, but it's like just your kids should not. Stand on the table. Yeah, stand on the table. And it was the girl doing it. It wasn't even. I mean, already the girl's probably not going to stand on a table because their girls are a little more. A boy can be lunatics and they can do more stuff. But it just stood on the table. And a guy that worked there had to come back and go, hey, could you not?

stand on the table. Yeah. And then I saw the parents come over and they were, I mean, it's, they didn't, you know, they were just like, not really think about it. And you're like, how do you not? Let me ask you all this. When you see a situation like that in the public now, do you have,

Do you immediately sympathize with the parents in a situation like that? Or are you harder on the parents? I probably blank. Cause I always think Harper's always been pretty good or great. Harper's been great. She's never, she never really threw crazy fits. We never had, you know, I mean, she, they don't kids could throw fits, but we never, I don't, not that any that we can remember. It's some, just the whole store is like looking. Yeah. And so when you see that, you know, we only have one, uh,

you just kind of think, yeah, you cannot have them do that if you just, you know, it's going to be a little stern with them or you grab, you know, it's like if she is going to do something, you pick her up and grab her and I'll walk right out. Like one of us, you know, I'll walk out, Laura walk out, someone, she's getting outside and she might throw a fit to us privately, but I'm not, it's not going to happen. How,

How old were these children standing on the table? I mean, one had to be, that girl had to be 10. Oh, gosh. Yeah, see, that's not good. That's crazy. Yeah, if you're thinking about a toddler, they don't know. A 10-year-old knows. But a 10-year-old knows. Oh, yeah. Why is a 10-year-old in a Starbucks? Well, they, I mean, people give kids caffeine. They drink caffeine now. I mean, they drink it early. They go and, you know, like they need it for school. And I mean.

It was, uh, I thought coffee was bad my whole life. I thought you weren't allowed to drink it. And then, but yeah, they, they drink it. I don't know. I mean, they, there's, I don't, yeah, when you see it, you see them in line and like, you know, I always feel bad on a plane. I can tell we, on the way to Alaska, we set, uh, but this baby actually was really good, but, uh, going to Alaska, this wonderful young couple, they just had a little baby and

But the baby did good. The baby cried a little bit. But it's all just normal. No one would ever get mad at a million years because it's a seven-hour flight to Alaska. Yeah. It's a baby. It's a baby. And it wasn't like...

Now I've seen it where the baby's crying, where you're going like, you're the problem. I had a flight this weekend where it's baby just screaming nonstop. And my instinct as a guy without kids is to go, geez, dude, get a handle on your baby. But then I'm like, I thought about it. I've never had to deal with that. I don't know what that's like. So maybe I can be a little more sympathetic to parents. Yeah, but it's just got to be looking like you're trying to...

Everybody could be sympathetic. That's why I was fond of Southwest when Harper was young because I think everybody's super sympathetic. Southwest is always just kind of like, it's okay. But if they look back and you get your headphones in and you're the parent. Yeah, and you're like, I don't care. Then, yes, that's where it looks bad. But, yeah, I see kids throw fits. You can just tell. I think you can tell when they're –

you know, they're going to let the kid do whatever the kid wants to do. And it's hard. It's hard for me to tell her no. Yeah. You have a joke where you talked about Billy Ray Cyrus in an interview. Miley was his best friend. They like smoked weed together. Yeah. And you said you weren't going to do that. Your daughters cannot be your best friend, right? Yeah. I just don't think that's a good idea. And I think, you know, Miley was...

On Nick at Night. I think it's around, she was on Nick at Night on a stripper pole. Probably about 16. Somebody asked me about it in an audition for a talk show. I said the wrong answer. I didn't get it. But I'm more of a stern, you know, person.

Southern mom. I don't think anybody ought to be on a strip pole at 16. I'll just say it. And I don't think you ought to smoke dope with your dating. Yeah, not on Nick at night. And I'm sure, not on Nick at night, but I'm sure Billy Ray is a doll. Yeah. You know, hitting a bong. I talked to him once. You have? We were trying to do like on a phone call. He's out there.

Out there. That's what I've heard. He's out there. He gets a yard chair and just sits out in the yard and watches people go by. I mean, that guy's been so famous for so long. Forever, yeah. And then you add on Miley.

And I bet she would. And I mean, more famous than he ever was. Right. Like, is it even close? I mean, I don't think it's close in the fact that at the time when Billy Ray Cyrus got famous, it was the big, most famous. Achy Breaky Heart was so big. And at that time he was as famous as just one. It's that. Yeah. And then, uh,

And Miley is the new age of fame, but they've never had a break of any sort of reality. I mean, it went from that to she's on that show to being, I mean, she's a superstar. And I feel like she could be, I've never met her. I don't know anything about her, but.

She seems like she levels down. She's leveled out a little bit. She seems more... She was doing all this as a kid. Who knows? It must have been crazy. Yeah, I don't think you have any... Yeah, I mean, in that world... Yeah, I mean, you know. Does he even remember...

going to the store or something. In Kentucky. Yeah. Wasn't he from Ashland, Kentucky? I think so. Like, would he remember... Like, even though they grew up like that, I mean, he probably... How old was he when Breaky, Achy... Achy, Breaky Heart? Yeah. 20s, probably. Yeah. 31. Oh, when that happened? Because that came out in 92. And let me just say, I think they all got off dope. Let me just say, I think they all quit smoking...

I think they did. All right. I don't know. Good for the family. But I mean, you know, just when you're a minor, I don't think it's a good thing to smoke marijuana with your children. It's crazy that you say something like that. That is a controversial take there. And we don't. But you're right. And I had writers. That was Leanne Morgan. Yeah, exactly. Who doesn't think children should be doing drugs. Go ahead and spell your name, Leanne. But I do. I had a writer for a sitcom that didn't make it.

And he had worked with them. And he said, I mean, they can't help it. They're not tethered to the earth anymore. Their whole reality. They're just not even tethered to the earth.

When I talked to him, it was a ride. Does he look at trees and talk about the trees and that kind of thing? Was it a Zoom? Because he had the Holy Spirit. I mean, he has got the Holy Spirit. He was Pentecostal in Ashland, Kentucky. So once the Holy Spirit's in there. His grandfather was a Pentecostal preacher. How about that? I didn't know that.

Played baseball in college. Yeah. And then it just thought, you know, their other baseball in Georgetown college. Oh, sweet. Yeah. In Kentucky. Fun. Their other daughter, Noah Cyrus, actually like her music better than Miley's. Really? Got some good stuff.

So there's four types. That's her other. That's Smiley's sister. Yeah. Oh, she's cute. Is that two girls? That's all you have. I think they have a bunch more kids, too. And Tish, you know, they got divorced and she just remarried somebody. Oh, Tish Finley. There's four types. Psychologists say there's four type of parenting styles. Hold on. Is there a country music like tabloid magazine?

Was there ever a Country Music Catboy magazine? There's Country. Country Weekly? That was like a star. I don't know. Or did they all make it in the big one? Yeah. Taste of Country. I don't know. I don't know if that's like. It's kind of like Country Music stars are mainstream pop stars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they're covered by TMZ and everything else. And people. But it seems like people protect them more. I think. Yeah.

Nobody ever talks about Sweet Dolly or Morgan Wallen's gotten in some trouble, but he's young. He'll get over it. He'll get over it. That's your people. Uh-huh. Yeah. He's sweet. He's got the Holy Spirit. He's in there. Didn't he want to date your daughter? He did. And they went to Chipotle. Oh. And yeah, but she said, I mean, darling sweet, but.

But I did a show with him. And this is how I know I could never be on America's Got Talent. I could never be a judge because I don't have the sense to know when somebody's a star. He and I did a show together. And I remember thinking, oh, bless his heart. Not that he wasn't great. I just thought Nashville and this whole thing, it's going to be a holy nightmare. He needs to buy more mowing equipment. Because he told me, he goes, I mow. And I thought, I need to buy some, get the zero turn. Because this is awesome.

a hard road to hoe. And he was a doll. And we exchanged numbers and precious. And then he saw Maggie on Instagram and asked her out. But anywho, um,

I mean, think about how huge he is. It's unbelievable. And let me tell you that he did a video for me. There was a little girl at Children's Hospital that was going through cancer, and he did a video for her. And y'all would bawl your eyes out. It was so sweet. Yeah, he's sweet. He's a sweet kid. He'll grow out of all that honky-tonking. Yeah. You know? Yeah. If I had to hit it big when I was his age, I'd be in a crop top doing horrible things.

Because I already did horrible things in the 80s. I did. I loved slugs. I made out with people. Yeah. Yeah, I would have been a wreck. I would have been like Molly on a wrecking ball. Yeah. How old were you when you had your first child? 27. So that made you settle down finally. It did. It really did. I'd settled down kind of before that, but I always wanted to be a mama and I wanted a bunch of kids.

But yeah, I did. I was in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains with Chuck Morgan and he was working 24 hours a day. And it was me and Charlie and we had a ball. And then I had Maggie right after. I mean, I had them all close together. Yeah. Had a ball. Now I got two grandbabies, almost three and three months old. Yeah. And it's yummy. Yeah. I just got them a bubble mower.

Bubble mower. People said you mow and bubbles come out. Oh, for kids. Yeah. I thought you were talking about Morgan Wallen. It could be some kind of dope apparatus. Bubble mower. He might have his own bubble mower. But people ask me, they go, what have you spent money on since you've been on tour? And the only thing I've spent money on, I got my grandbabies a really good

swing set, big playground swing that doesn't splinter. You know, the kind that mine had, you know, that you got too hot, burn your legs. My babies have a good one that somebody had to come and put together. Oh, that's big. On a pad with, I got landscaping boys to put in a pad that if they fall, it doesn't hurt. Oh, nice. Yeah.

Yeah. We'll play with that forever. I mean, that's. Yeah. I know. It's a great gift. I'm so excited. Thank you, my darling. He's got a climbing wall. Picnic table. Oh, wow. Yes. Wow. Swing sense. Okay. There are four types of parenting styles. I'm going to see which one y'all are. Okay. Authoritarian. This is like the tiger mom that my way or the highway, very disciplined, you know, very strict. Okay. Mm-hmm.

Authoritative, which is still setting reasonable boundaries. It's still, I'm in charge, but firm but nurturing, they say. Permissive, which you can probably figure out what that is, where the kid basically runs things. And neglectful.

which is Nate, when you're just, the kid barely knows your name. Or maybe somebody at a casino. Well, I was authoritative. That's the second one. Chuck is like my way or the highway, and I'm nurturing, but I didn't let him go nuts. And I think that's a good place to be. Yeah, totally. Yeah, I'm probably...

In the middle of the authoritative and permissive. Permissive, yeah. Probably right in the middle of that. Yeah, I'm probably permissive. Eleanor has learned just in the last week or so to start going to me for stuff when Ruth says no. Like if there's a certain room she wants to go in and play in or go outside, she'll just grab me by the shirt and just pull me to the door because she, you know.

She knows I give in and I am going to be her best friend, Leanne. I'm sorry. I don't have a best friend. I never have. I had a baby at 50, so I'm sorry. Well, that's okay. All right. I get it. You do that. I watched, I told Nate one time, I said, there's like three TV shows now I can watch not cry because being an old man and having a kid, just everything.

I watched Goodfellas the other night where there's multiple terrible murders. People getting killed in a terrible way. That doesn't bother me. But there was a scene where Ray Liotta, you've got to have seen Goodfellas. Ray Liotta's wife in a huge argument and their little cute little girl comes running out and it scares her because they're fighting with each other. And that broke my heart more than anything. Yeah. People getting killed. Yeah.

Because I just, you know, there was a little boy last night at this show I was at. This church fell down, hurt himself. I used to not even pay attention. Now I care because I just think about my daughter. Yeah. You should probably pay attention anyway when a kid falls. I used to root for that dumb kid. Should maybe testosterone. Do you want to get that checked? You know, I'm about hormones. Yeah.

You crying a lot? Oh, his hormones have to be. I don't have hormones anymore. I don't even have estrogen. You know, we talked about John Reap was on my podcast.

Yeah. And John said that he didn't have any testosterone and he went to Walgreens. Well, that's a good thing for him. Oh, sorry. Because he liked the ladies. Yeah. John catted around. But he's with somebody now, right? And tickled with her. So I'm sorry I interrupted you. He went to Walgreens? He went to Walgreens and started taking something over the counter. And he...

And it brought him back up to good levels. And he's got this girlfriend. Low T. Low T. Something like that. Yeah. A lot of people take testosterone now. Workouts. Everybody does. If you listen to sports talk radio, it's like all it is. I'm like, are they, did they find me somehow? No. Have you ever got yours tested?

Yeah. Yeah, I don't have any left. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no tea. Yeah. I go to the no tea center. At this point, it's a good thing. I don't care. I don't have time for tea. Yeah. Yeah.

I like being low T versus being emotional. Yeah. I don't have a problem with it. Yeah. I'm old. Live it up. But I think that just have that men get so emotional as they get older. Yeah. You just, I've seen it. And Nate was before this podcast started, we were downstairs. Nate was wrestling with Harper on the couch and I found myself just that just tearing up. Yeah. I just think it's sweet. And I just, I love it. Cause y'all used to wrestle like,

Brought back memories. I'm like, we used to do that. No, Harper took my place. No, I just think it's very sweet. Yeah. It is sweet. You got a sweet baby. Well, thank you. And y'all say, old, I'm old. Oh, let me tell y'all, y'all are not old.

Well, we don't say y'all. They say I am. But you're not. Just talking about one person. Well, I agree with you, Leanne, but you know. I know. I just get around a lot of people and I'm 57 now and people go, oh, I'm 40. And I thought, I can remember turning 40. And Chuck Morgan made me go and get my passport picture made. And I cried all night that I was turning 40. So I still have that same passport picture and I'm speckledy face, you know, when you're crying. Yeah.

And I'd show it to people and I look like somebody's with me. But then the next day I was okay. But I think, oh my gosh, I didn't give anything to be 40. That's a baby. Eat a lot of blueberries and salmon like Madonna did. That's what she did? She did.

And she can still drop it like it's hot. She's odd. But she can drop it like it's hot. She looks terrible. Yeah. Well, that's some plastic surgery. I know. But she's got, I don't think she has inflammation in her knees. That's what I'm talking about. She's 65. She can still like squat, bonger. She's 65 years old? I think so. I think she just turned 65. Yeah. And look, I bet she's squatting bonger in some of those videos. Oh my Lord. Yeah.

I don't know what that is. I know. What kind of date does Madonna have? Can you imagine? I know. Look how cute she was. Yeah. If you're Madonna, what are you doing during the day? She's doing it right now. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she was so famous. Do you think young people know her? Yeah. They know. Yeah. Yeah.

Just because they're named Madonna. Named Madonna. She's kind of grandfathered in. You know, there's a huge celebrity. There's never, I don't know of anyone my age cares about her music ever. You know, they know it. They know the big songs. Yeah. It's played everywhere. All of her stuff all the time. That's my age. I was, it was big. Yeah. Yeah. I had a root and a dark lipstick. I think she just had combat boobs. Wasn't she just in the hospital? Yes. For heart issues? She had something go wrong.

Look at little Brittany. They're kissing. I remember that. That was disgusting. I remember all of us going, what the? That was the worst thing we'd ever seen when that happened. Lord, now Brittany's dancing in her panties. That'd be a kid's show now. Nickelodeon Awards. That's a ride at Disney now. But I just watched A League of Their Own.

Madonna's in it. And I guess I didn't fully understand. That was probably a huge deal for her to be in that movie at the time, right? Now it's like, I don't even care that she's in it. She's like an afterthought to me. Oh, you mean a huge deal? At the time when the movie came out. Not for her, but for the movie. It's like Taylor Swift being in a movie. Yeah, it was. Oh, and guess who else is in that movie? Who's that? Etta Mae. Is she really? Etta Mae's the catcher.

No way. Yes. Remember Etta Mae? She was the catcher. It ruined her knees because she had to squat. Oh, man. I'll find it. Etta Mae, Brenda Farrar was in that. She played the catcher on the other team. Well, while you're looking for that, tell us about Gooder.

Gooder sunglasses. I wore them this... I took them with me on my trip. I wear them every day. Gooder makes $25 active sunglasses that do not slip, do not bounce, and are 100% polarized. I mean, I love these sunglasses. It's G-O-O-D-R. I have a few pair of them. They're like $25 and maybe $35 if you get some crazy ones. They're not that expensive. Polarized.

They're very comfortable. I mean, they're honestly... You play golf in them? I play golf in them, and I have them in my bag. I mean, I am... Before I ever... They were an ad.

I've had Gooder. I'm a big, big fan of Gooder sunglasses. Oh, wow. I've learned so many things today. Yeah, they're awesome. You could have a bunch of them and then just have them places. Because I always wanted polarized. That's what would take stuff to be expensive. But, I mean, these sunglasses are awesome. Oh, gosh. Yeah. And, you know, yeah, like cool. And they're very comfortable. Very comfortable to wear. I wear them everywhere.

I mean, I wear them all the time, but they got skiing. Yeah. They got everything. Uh, so I'm a giant fan. Uh,

They start at only $25 a pair and come with a one-year warranty and 30-day free returns. If you want to support the show and pick up a pair, Goodr is giving Nate Land listeners free shipping on your first order. There's a link in the show notes, and maybe you will see us in them in real life. You can go to goodr.com. Or something like that. Chuck's just a saver. Yeah. That's not a bad way to save. Yeah.

Do it throughout the whole year. Watch your pennies and the dollars take care of themselves or something. That's a good saying. Yeah. Never heard that. Watch your pennies. And the dollars take care of themselves. I know. I'm just green, but yeah. I like to piss money away. At McDonald's. On the two cheese bars. Oh, sorry. P-I-S-S. Leanne used to be clean. I know. I'm just going crazy. Hollywood. Hollywood.

I know. Before you know it, I'll come back in here and I'll look like Madonna. I know. I'm going to go. Blow my lips up. Just talking about Lillian. It's not been reality for... Not tethered to the world anymore. She's not tethered to the earth.

I looked up some of these celebrities that didn't raise their kids, maybe the best. Some of them, you know, well, Joe Jackson is the famous one. The Jackson. Reggie Jackson's dad. Yeah. Or the Jackson family. The Jackson. Yeah. But, you know, Janet, Janet's doing pretty well. Janet's sweet. Yeah. Yeah. What is he? Tito. I'm sure he's sweet. Is he still with us?

I don't know. I don't know. Well, yeah, he was just so authoritative. I think he was just mean to the kids. And I don't know if he beat them, but like. Tito stole a lot, by the way. Oh, good. I always thought he looked sweet.

Are you talking about Joe Jonas and Nick and all them? Cause they've been raised sweet. I'm talking about Michael Jackson's dad. Oh, are we going again? Like who hasn't raised children? Yes. Sweet. Or just kind of notorious parents. Notorious parents. Oh, gotcha. Okay. Yes. You know, I watched that movie King Richard. Actually. I mean, you, he did some stuff that was a little over the top, but I thought that movie, I thought he did a lot of good stuff too. And obviously his daughters turned out pretty well as far as tennis. Yeah.

I love that movie. Did y'all see that movie? I watched it the other, uh, some of the other day that like, uh, kind of the back half of it. It was just on. I was surprised how good it was. I was too. And, uh, I didn't think I could watch it because of Will Smith. I think I got, I got really over Will Smith and I could be kind of, uh, like kind of okay watching him now. Yeah. But I mean, I don't really want to watch him.

Don't you think Jada was all up in that and tormented him and he snapped? No, I do, but it's, it's really changed my look of him and view of him that I don't, it's, uh, makes it where I go. I, I do not have a desire to go see a movie he was in. And, uh,

King Richard was on TV, and I just kind of saw it. I've been on the road, and I was like, all right. And it is. It's good, so you got to keep you with it. And he's good in it. He's good in it. But yeah, something made it turn me on. After that happened, do you think that he was in a closet rocking? Yeah.

Probably still is. Yeah. Well, their parenting is a little probably different too. Yeah. Yeah, they have some crazy parenting, I think. I think they talk to their kids like they're all equals or something. You know, you can't. You're asking them. Yeah, you can't do that. Yeah, I mean, good parents, that goes, that's everything.

Just be there. It's everything. Yeah. But now mine are grown and they're really like good friends now. We can be friends now. Relationship does. Do you like, are there, what are the things you like about now you have a relationship with your adult kids? Like what's different about that?

They're fun, and we have a good time. And I really enjoy being with them. And they're all close in age. So when they were little, I mean, it was hairy to go to the beach, afraid somebody was going to get, you know, jump in them. And amusement parks and all that kind of stuff, it was hard. But now, I mean, we're all close. Charlie's got two babies. His sister helps with the babies. They're in love with them. It's like being with your best friends. Yeah.

But it's family, and you know you can trust them, and they love you no matter what. Yeah. What was the difference between raising boys and raising girls? The girls were very sharp, I think. I think men are smart. I don't mean to say that. But girls, from the time they're little, can kind of run stuff. Yeah. And they can say, like,

you need your hair highlighted, girl. And, and you need your flu shot. They would say that to you? Yeah. I mean, they would say, yeah, they'd be like, mommy, it's time for you to get your hair done or whatever. They kind of like mothered me too. Your kids would tell you to get a flu shot? Yeah.

Yeah. Well, they do now. Oh, okay. I'm thinking like six-year-old. It's time for your booster, Bobby. Your kids are around the COVID vaccine. Yeah. They're pushing it. Oh, no. But...

What was I saying? Oh, Charlie was very kind and sweet and mild mannered, but he was the first one. And I think ordinal position has something to do with that too. But he was wild physically. Like he wanted to jump off of stuff. The girls never wanted to do that. He wanted, he was wild physically.

And want to like get out the front door and run down the yellow line. I had to watch him all the time, but he liked to be outside. But very sweet spirit and kind. The girls are sweet, but they were hateful.

Two at a certain, and they can't help it. And I really believe that. You were scared of one of them. I was scared of both of them. Oh, okay. But it was like middle school, but they couldn't help it. That's just hormones, and I wasn't hormonal, and everybody's, and they're trying to, so, but it wasn't often, but they couldn't help it. And that's okay. They're just emotional. Girls are more, I think, more emotional.

but sharp and also think girls will take care of their brothers.

And keep them together and their families together. Like Charlie loves his sisters, but his sisters are the ones that initiate for everybody to be together and all that kind of thing. Right. Girls keep relationships going. For sure. Don't you think? Yes. And then boys, I mean, but Charlie always protected them. If somebody wanted to date them, I mean, he was ready to kill them. Like we had to hold him back. Yeah. You know, there was a time when he was going to try to get somebody out in the woods, you know, and I had to call the principal and somebody was messing with Maggie and,

And I had to call the principal and I said, I think something's going to go down. Like if you don't do something, he goes, I get where he's coming from, but tell him don't do it. I would have to kick him out of school. So it doesn't sound like we had all this underground. We did. Yeah.

I knew everybody, you know? Yeah. But anyway, Charlie was very protective. That sounds really twisted. He wasn't going to kill anybody. I don't mean that. He just was going to take up for his sister. Yeah, exactly. But he's very protective of them. So, but, but they were more emotional. He's more level-headed. Like when they got to fighting, cause they're only 20 months apart or we were fighting, he would just go outside and take his BB gun and just, you know, shoot at the tree.

because he didn't want to hear it. You know? Yeah. He liked to get out and fish or do whatever. But,

But they're all yummy. And now I got these two grandbaby boys that are fun. They're going to be fun. The new one is an infant. The one that's about to turn three, he's got a good sense of humor. He's fun. He thinks I'm funny. You can tell that early in a kid. You can. You think she's funny. This kid gets it. This kid's smart. But he's got it. You can just tell that he's...

He likes things that are funny and he's got a good sense of humor. Yeah. And he's fun. I wish Dusty was here because he's in the potty training phase for his two-year-old and he's got some pretty funny stories of she just brought him. He's like, what you got there? She just had it in her hand. So he's telling me some funny stories about that. I have to take, I don't know when the sense of smell kicks in. I feel sorry for my daughter because when I'm at home alone and I go to the bathroom, you just got to take them with you to the bathroom and shut the door.

I think this poor kid, she's just in there having fun. Hot boxing in there with you. Why do you... At your home? Why do you have to close the door? Well, I mean, if I got to go... She's going to get in. And you don't want her to get in trouble, like get in something that can hurt her. She can do something to hurt herself really fast if I'm not watching her. Yeah, but why do you...

Are there other people at your house? If I'm home alone, like if I'm watching her and it's just me. You can't let her run wild through the house. Right. But why do you have to close the bathroom door? To keep her in there with me. If I'm using the bathroom. She'll just run and go pull stuff. Oh. I was picturing her in a, like a, I guess your kid's older now, huh? She runs around everywhere. Yeah. Your kid's up and at them, huh? Yeah. All right. My bad. She gets to it real fast. I was picturing her in the carrying thing.

like just dropping them off and you just leave the door open. I used to do the bouncer and she would just bounce there. Yeah. Watch you. That's kind of hard to like, could you look that way for a second? Yeah. It's been around. So anyway, uh, Helix mattress, uh,

So you sent your kids to private school and Nate's daughters in public school. I'm assuming Dusty's going to homeschool. Is that what little Hannah's going to do then? I don't know. I'm kind of joking, but I'm joking. We'll see. I bet there's a good chance. Dusty's going to have his own curriculum. Yeah. I don't think the government's going to be involved. Yeah.

Yeah. They have their own thing. But you went to public school and you went to private school. So y'all know the advantages and disadvantages of both. I had a foreign language at Joe Burns. The little man that taught, I realize now that smell was Jack Daniels. And, but so I didn't have that. I feel like math, my basketball coach was my math teacher and, and he was a wonderful teacher, but he would rather me play ball. Yeah.

And then, I don't know, I just felt like I was behind. And I didn't have, it wasn't a school where, you know, you had chemistry, like two people took chemistry. We just didn't have a lot of college prep. And then I got to UT and I felt very behind. And I went to, God put me with a bunch of girls that had gone to GPS. And they were testing out of everything. And everything was easy. What's GPS? For them. Girls Preparatory School in Chattanooga. Okay.

And some Memphis girls that were so smart. And I don't know, I just always felt intimidated. And it was hard for me to get through UT and I quit. And then I went back and I finished college.

And I'm thankful for that, but I just never wanted my children to feel like that. And it was more, and also by then I was, I wanted them to go to a Christian school and, and, but Charlie went to a public school that was wonderful in San Antonio for first grade. But at the time, um,

They were growing so fast out there that they said he'll have to go to another school. We were going to be there three years. He'd have to go to three different schools. He'd have to get on a bus at six o'clock to be bused across town. And Chuck said, we can't put him through that. Let's go in and put him in a,

and find a school for them. And there, there's a lot of church schools and there was San Antonio Christian where David Robinson from the Spurs, his babies went there. Yeah. And, um, and I loved it. And I, and so they went there when they were little bitty and then we moved to Knoxville and Chuck the whole time. I mean, he went to a public school and was very smart, very academic, felt good about school, um,

Got an MBA, made straight A's. So he didn't feel that like I did. I felt like I didn't get what I needed. He felt like he was fine. But then anyway, we put them in Christian Academy of Knoxville and felt it was like a family and they had sports, but they had, but there was discipline, you know, nothing crazy, but I mean, yeah.

I felt like if they had been bullied or whatever, they took care of it. I don't know. I just felt like that was what was right for us. Yeah. Takes them out in the woods. Never to be seen again. Yeah. I know that did sound weird, didn't it? No.

But anyway, that's what we decided. And I always felt like, you know, I'd pray about it. And I just felt like that's where God wanted them. But we in Knoxville, I mean, we have wonderful public schools and the kids do great there. But also I have one that has learning disabilities and they found it quickly in private school.

And they said if she had gone to public school, they may not have found it so quickly. But it was hard. It was hard for her to go to school where she did. But it kind of, you know, helped her. I mean, they gave her help, but she rose to the occasion, you know, instead of kind of getting lost. Right. So that's what we did. But and we feel, you know, I don't know what my boy is going to do with because it's so hard for young people to pay for something like that now. I don't know what they're going to do about it.

um, their babies, but they want to put them in public school and they want to do that, but they'll say, I think they're worried about middle. Cause you know, middle can get to be a jungle. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's what we were. Yeah. But you know, they get their friends and it's hard to do that. I was all public tool. Cause our high school was, I was the high school I went to McGavock or Hunter's lane. They were pretty rough schools when I was going back there. So then that's my dad got job at,

My high school, Donaldson Christian. And so that's why we were able to go there. It's because it was, he got a job there. So we got, you know, I was tuition. Yeah. Yeah. It was like cheaper and like all that. And, but I, and I loved my high school. I loved Donaldson Christian Academy. They're school and Donaldson. They're still there. I mean, I just, it was not a bit, it's not a big school. It's like a thousand kids and it's K through 12. And,

I just went there from ninth, just high school. But I mean, I loved it. I still talk to all these people. Like, I'm a giant fan of that. And I wouldn't mind if I would have liked Harper to go there. We don't live on that side of town now. But I would have. She would have went there if we were over there.

Because I just liked it so much. I like the idea of being able to stay in one school. And I was kind of in the same school the whole time because it was just either at first it looked great. I was in the Goldsville, then it was Cooper Town for a couple of years, and then it was DuPont Elementary, DuPont Hadley, and then so on. But I remember Joe Burns. I always liked the name Joe Burns. Yeah. And we played all, we played Harpeth Hall. We played university school. We beat the fire out of them. You know all the Red Devils? Red Devils. Red Devils. Uh-huh.

And it was sweet. Like, we didn't know what marijuana was. You know, I was very, it was sweet back then where you didn't have a lot of. We didn't know what tobacco. We all grew tobacco. Yeah. But, and my husband's boyfriend was a school representative at the University of Tennessee. Oh.

Yeah, that was a big job. Kept him busy at UT. Yeah. But, but yeah, it was sweet, but it just wasn't college prep. And then, and I wanted to go to a big school and, and I felt lost and I was, but I was also, you know, not doing things I should have been doing. I was making out with people.

I don't mean to make you uncomfortable because I've been washed in the blood and I'm okay now, you know, but, but I was not prepared for that. And I think that that made me even make more bad decisions because I felt lost and what am I going to do? And all these people were passing me by. And I remember sitting in an auditorium going, what are they talking about? Is anybody going to make an omelet? You know, does anybody need me to sew? Yeah.

So I just had that. I projected that on to my little children and I didn't want them to go through one. And Chuck thought I was crazy because he didn't have that same experience. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I feel like for me, you talk about this in your act, you've got one child, so you're going to, you know, let her sleep in the bed longer because you want to experience it longer. I feel the same way. I mean, does every little thing,

I mean, obviously, I don't want her to get behind, but I try to just... I don't want her to rush through life either because I got one shot with this. So her crawling phase, I try to take it in as long as possible because it's really cute. And now she's running. But, you know, as long as she's not behind developmentally, I'm fine with her taking her time with whatever it is she does. Because...

This will be the only time for sure. Yeah. And we just had a girl because we wanted somebody to take care of us. She'll let you know when you need to get a flinch on. Yeah. Yeah. She will. And she does. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we're at 205, so we can stop. Yeah. All right. Joe Burns. Joe Burns, Red Devil. I played volleyball, softball, and basketball.

basketball. You're a triple letterman. Wow. Well, there weren't many of us. I was only like 42 people. So they made me play. That's still a big deal. You play three different sports. Yeah, but I should have cared more. I was worried about my high school boyfriend. Yeah. Yeah, but I played. I just had my 40th high school reunion. Oh, really? And everybody, let me tell y'all, when you go back

You're just so thankful that everybody's living and nobody's in jail. You know how you're competitive at first? Like, what is going on with your 10th and what are you doing? 40th, you're like, are you okay? Like, yeah, girl, you okay? I'm okay. Are they all pretty, they love like where you're at? Yeah, they were sweet about it. Did you do some time at this reunion? No, they asked me to. And I said, you know, I'd just like to have a little barbecue in Coleslaw and give it

But I had boys in my class, four of them, that were very, very talented. And they started like a country music band and they got a record deal. And then they ended up, they all went to college and they quit trying to pursue that. And one of them went to Juilliard and is an actor. And it was on ABC Nashville.

But we had some talented people in that class. And so our speech and drama was fun. How many students? 42 in my class. And two of you have been on television. And David said to me not long ago, he goes, people say, are you the most famous person to come out of Joe Burns? He goes, no, actually, there's this woman. But he's pretty, you know, he's done a lot of movies and television. Wow.

And those boys, I mean, they said something about open for me at the ramen, but it's a bunch of, you know, dads and dad jeans and I can't get all that tech together. So I said, no, but they're darling, but they're darling. And they played at the reunion and I thought women were going to take their tops off. I mean, everybody went nuts. I was more into the barbecue. Yeah. Uh, yeah. All right. Um,

I actually say where it'd be. I don't know where, uh, Labor Day weekend, Labor Day weekend. I'll be home. And then, and then it starts San Diego, LA, uh, a lot of the tour is rolling. So go to my website. The Saturday I'll be at, um, Skyline comedy club in Appleton, Wisconsin, uh,

September 9th, I'll be at Comedy at the Sparrow, North Charleston, South Carolina. September 23rd, Astra Theater in Chesper, Indiana. September 30th, Murphy Theater in Wilmington, Ohio. Awesome. Next week, I'm in middle California, Bakersfield at the Well Comedy Club in Bakersfield, California. Then I'm up in Pleasanton, which is just outside of San Francisco. First time in that part of the country. So come on out.

Oh, and I wore my MTSU because we're going to get a big win this weekend over Alabama. Vanderbilt got a big win. Very exciting. That's why I was wearing that. Y'all are playing Alabama? Yeah, it won't be a problem. It'll be tough. And Notre Dame. You know, I got to meet all those boys at Burke-Price. That's right. All those big old linemen. Yeah, yeah. They're little fiendies. Their shorts were up in their cranks. Big linemen boys. Sweet. Yeah, they were in these short shorts. I know. I wish I could have cooked.

for them. I'll be at the Ryman a couple of nights. But what I'm worried about, I've got landmorgan.com. I've got 60 dates the rest of this year. But Sugar Land, Texas, I'm doing a big old arena and I've sold one out and they've added another one just to make me nervous. Oh,

And I need to sell tickets to that. Sugar Land, Texas is what I'm worried about, but I've got other dates. We're in San Antonio the same weekend, Lena. Are we? Are you at LOL? We don't steal too many tickets from you. But yeah, I'm at LOL Comedy Club that weekend. Oh, my darling. Look at all those shows. Two Fox Theaters. Yeah, crazy.

Yeah, look, I mean, these are. Pensacola. Didn't you just say you want to get booked in Pensacola, stay at the Airbnb? Oh, yeah. Yeah, they rent out the minor league baseball stadium as an Airbnb in Pensacola. Sugar Land, Texas. Why can't you go? Maybe that's why no one can get the tickets because you can't scroll down. Can you not scroll down? It was messed up everything. All right. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah, my Will Rogers is doing well, Fort Worth, but I'm worried about that Sugar Land. Y'all come out a bunch of women, honey, in a wedge with a crossbody purse. I need y'all. Yeah, they're going to be there. Your special did, as I...

I told you and said, like, John Mulaney texted me and he was so happy about your special and said it did good. The special was great. The special was so great. Your special's on Netflix, but every comic loved you. Thank you, Nate. Thank you. Isn't this crazy? It's crazy. Okay.

A grandmama. They took a chance on me. Netflix took a chance on me. And they've been good to me. So, yeah, I'm having a ball. I can't believe it.

Yeah, they took a chance as much as you're killing it. Yeah. It's a pretty good chance. You took a chance on them. It's not a gamble on a nobody, you know? Yeah. I would take that. Thank y'all. Let me take that chance. Yeah, I'll see if it works out for her. Yeah. But we're... Yeah, everybody loves you when you're on here. And all right. That's it. We love y'all. Yeah.
