a catchphrase it's one of those things that just has to happen you know so what are your wits levels so i'm always sleeveless you know as. well i'm sleeveless because i'm not exactly in the best of shape i'm not you know i always fluctuate you know i'm like oprah i get fat and when i lose weight and you know what i mean here there's a lot in comparison when i think of you i think of a lot of people do forbes rates you among the highest paid celebrities you up there would be include your friend jeff foxworthy where does the money come from where you earn where we are earnings you got that big commercial a sale everywhere whatever the sleeves question how did you learn the slaves what did you what you're still you know you said the weight then so you want to get your arms you are the i got the answer so i move quick k. on larry b. east and do. the money comes from all do you know live today it's

is generally the best thing live tour dates and it just been so many things i mean i had a book out and then movies came and i never thought i'd ever do movies and they would one me do movies so i said yeah why not when you work made you work open air arenas i mean your big houses yeah you know what that's one thing about my career i'm really excited about you know i. i think i'm the only comedian that is work to remain and as long as i work i know steve martin did arenas in any movie did arenas really as we made out those big spots i'm talking basketball arenas ten thousand two hundred thousand people and i know they did those i mean i read steve martin's book he worked the same places i was working which was awesome but they only did it for year and a half two years i'm going on this is i'm going on my ninth street year a deal and i mean and so it's a lot of fun how do you assess your own success when you why do you think people

gravitate to you know what i think pretty much an average guy i grew up on a pig farm in the midwest. very approachable mean to people i like peep. will people come come up to me and talk to me i think i prefer that in my act you successful or parts of the country yeah i really am going north east yeah no doubt you know that's a misconception about me a lot and it really pisses me off people think oh he just a southern actor he's for this or he said that's not true at all i mean i sell ice so in pennsylvania i sell in maine i sell in upstate new york i sell in new york i mean i remember i was going to work in new york and the guy actually had to write an apology i don't remember who the guy was he was a critic in new york city and i was work at radio city music hall and he was say and yeah good good luck you know now you're coming to the blue states good luck and i'm thinking to come out of the blue states i'm in work in pennsylvania and selling

out ten thousand seat arena as i that's pretty blue state so i come down here in the same weekend and i'm at radio city music hall jamie foxx is it madison square garden sold out two shows in about six hours and i ended up doing i think regency mute holds about six thousand people to exceed two hundred i ended up doing but won't thousand four hundred people jamie fox did about nine thousand so to jamie foxx and he got good press and i did so you know what it's a misconception all over the country i've got great fans your accent is you're from nebraska right from nebraska is that in the bread it's unclear how this is so the larry it's a hybrid let me get this out away right away get it up i went to college i'm from nebraska grew up on a pig farm town of two hundred mill know where i grew up with cattle farmers and pig farmers i moved to florida florida is is a southern state regardless of how many people moved down here from the north me is

not but the rest writers but it is full of crackers and went to florida and i was a country kid so i tell around with only cracker kids from florida got it so you picked up yeah it well. and then i went to college in georgia and my roommate was from beaumont texas and mother moved from dalton georgia and i defy anybody i'll tell you right now i defy anybody to hang around with two guys from don't georgia in beaumont texas for three straight years and not start talking like. i just picked it up and then i met foxworthy and we just got together and it would just became a part of me and he this is the third year of only in america with larry the cable guy it's third season tell me about the show how it came about was the concept yeah you know it was something that would be really cool for two reasons number one i feel like it was a good positive show about america you know when this show started coming now

everybody was pretty much down on the country you couldn't go anywhere america's is america's that people are owns citizens are and i said i want to do a show that is positive and make people proud to be here i want to do a show on success stories people that came here from other countries why did they come to america they came here because it's the freest country in the world and if they have a dream and they work hard they bust ass they can achieve that dream they do go around meeting people and so like for instance real quick zen belly fireworks biggest fireworks company in the world the guy came near misses them billy came in without a dime in his pocket did auden in jobs got him a savings made him some money had a family to raise took almost everything he made and wrist it to build this business and but he did it he employs a ton of people it's a great american success story so we when we build fireworks and he shows me what he did i meet his family i show people what it's like so that's it there's

different cultures in our country that form one great culture and i want to show everything and i never want to know what i'm doing till the day i get there and i want to keep it spontaneous right and it's been really good i've met. and fun people. it's just been fun and the second reason why i like it everything i do you know larry the cable guys this larry the cable guys that this show gives me an opportunity to not only be glued to cable guy i do the character that i created but it gives me an opportunity to be myself as well so when there's a part that serious and we're talking serious i member when we were doing a show with the guy down in houston texas and he was in the parade our car parade it's the biggest thing in texas three hundred thousand people show up and he was mexican immigrant and he no he was a jewish immigrant he was from israel and he married a mexican immigrant they're both immigrants and he had his car painted up and he was so proud of this car because it had american soldiers on it and he came in when

he was a kid all he dreamed about was coming to america you want to be free and these are the guys they got a sore freedom oh my gosh and he started crying and i mean it was a touching moment oh and so obviously i'm not going to be like oh my goodness there is your battle you know i mean i'm not going to you know to me you think when biz whole thing came about that it was kind of weird that larry the cable guy would be on the history channel a little bit as only it wouldn't work yeah when they asked me to do it i thought well that's kind of strange but you know what the history channel i thought of that just rechannel likes me and they have faith in me that i can put together a product that they say that they like and they they think i'm the guy for the job i was pretty flattered about it so i'm i'm glad they asked me to did one did one portion involves snakes and you know what well that is do with snake dust wanting to snow there. maybe mad and hunchback

a limbo contest i'm going to tell you. they had me doing alligators they had me doing snakes i had three to one doing shows on people that work with these things in their lifestyle and so i had to go and i immersed myself in his lifestyles now the latest i did i told him no more alligators i've done about seven shows in the first two seasons while literally almost lost a leg and arm working with you don't need to put out again i don't need i said i'm done with out years no more so this season when they go we go hunt poisonous snakes and spiders so we moved up to that we had we down in florida we had to milk a what is it not on a hot dog on total good article ibra the cobra king cobra. that thing came up like this flared up i'm standing by where that camera is and so i was kind of like looking at it and what's it going to do and i kind of came toward it and i did one

of those little i went come on king cobra went. just screwing around and that thing went. and it got right there and i mean it was really stupid i'm an idiot you are. true these and these shows i'm really scared i mean it's i'm doing some stuff that's pretty dangerous you have a lot of success your comedy roasts and everything to you as this big pharma from nebraska do you have a pinch yourself every day you did it right i do every day it's the most incredible thing and that's that's why i'm glad i'm only in america i myself i'm like an american. you know i mean i just this kid growing up in pony's city nebraska and united and i found a career that i thought i enjoyed you like pigs love him yeah oh yeah well before we go to break what's a special thing we don't know about pigs pigs are the smartest barnyard animal there is and is more of a. pig you can train a pig to do anything i'm not kidding

a pig is my alltime and they're lovable and they're goodly and you really can you get a mess around in dirt while i am but who doesn't get a point once in a like must run and build a bit of yeah i'm a jewish guy from new york i messed around in dirt over once in a brass could always in nebraska and larry on why he won't leave the corners because state plus daniel maybe larry sounds obama comics next maybe i'll turn into elizabeth. here is mitt romney trying to figure out the name of that thing that we americans call i don't know. i'm sorry i missed the guy who cares an awful lot like you sir are you know what kind of terrorist cells you claim to know want to keep us

our guest is larry the cable guy your big break was these radio shows yeah these radio shows were my big break morning radio was always good to me of my morning radio was like he had me on here you still drop in on some i do i mean and then i'm not as much as i used to because i get so busy and i'm going you know i get kids and a wife and i need some family time but you know i was i've always a fan of the old time comedian so my actual one liner act one joke at any i would

love to henny youngman charlie callus was a really good story well flawed but they are not all which i put him in my christmas specials and great guy he was awesome and so that's so i've always dictated my act i've loved one liners in so it's just boom boom boom boom boom and that that's how. the greatest joke of all time take my wife please is four words right any of yeah exactly one liners exactly have two young kids what kind of father i. how many would be i was worried because i you know when i want to let my thirteen year old daughter have a beer in front her two kids. you know she kind of gets irritated at me ted no you know i'm a good dad seriously i love my kids my little girl's. game i got to check your facebook i think she's six five and a half my little boy six and a half she's five and a half of them like you right it's the greatest thing in the whole world i'm telling you what and i feel bad i hate my mother boys having trouble in math you

know i feel bad you got to do the school thing you know good i'm in a flare. now let me tell you this my little boy but teacher said his teacher goes he's having trouble in math and i'm like what the hell you want me to do about you the teacher you know it's goes well mathematics is inherited through the father and i'm like oh good lord looks like he's got about a forty forty chance of passing a math lesson. but i got all d's and asked my report card one time my dad was a preacher he was real strict and i came home and all d's and f.'s and i'm trying to figure out you know how to poison his food maybe kill it. you know and he said it was your poor car and i said well i got good news and bad news but the core dead bad news is it's all of these and then but the good news is i didn't cheat to get those marks ok that's all my work on that deal you give a copy to test as i didn't and it kind of ties into the history of the one subject i did like was history and i remember i had to write a paper one time my freshman year in college and i didn't know what to write it on

and i was a history buff and i was i here's what i thought i said you know what i'm going to write on the history of pornography because i have always wondered how that started i mean it's just fascinating work to do it on a t. what i did larry one sunday afternoon to write this paper i had nothing to do one sunday afternoon so i said from the computer and i punched in pornography next thing i know it's tuesday. and and i'm out of socks ok by the way blue collar that's funny. word is blue color blue what blue color no me with that little color is working class folks a little color comics red banks i mean all conservative in nature of a role that does it all been right wing i can't say for anybody else and argue there's yeah i'm a conservative i'm a libertarian conservative as of late pretty much leave me alone yeah pretty much

let me let me monuments you know i know that's one thing i can forget about the country lately is why can't people mind your own business you know what i mean it's like member the guy that sued kentucky fried chicken because it was too much trans fat in the chicken so we sued kentucky fried chicken and my thought is really keep your fat ass out of kentucky fried chicken if you don't like it why you got to ruin it for everybody else but on the other side do you care. if gays play football or get married you know what i'm so sick of hearing about gay that is gay then i couldn't care less it anybody if you stand by your code it is to be what they want to be right in my life and all you know. they get get so irritated you know little enough p. i wish people would i don't know when we've turned into a nation of three year old babies but everything offends everybody everything offends we live in the freest greatest country in the world that's why there are so many people bitching about stuff because they got

a too good at this country there's other countries you don't hear a big you know what if we do because they got to go out and try to find something that's what we got we we bitch about everything it's like you live in american life no we're free to bitch we're free to bitch i think it's ridiculous after a while son of a bitch live your life leave other people alone and just enjoy your life enjoy being an american it's a great country why you got everything all right teach me rednecks tutorial could i learn a tutorial or here's one of them say to. go like this. just in to go boy it's warm here i'll tell you would you deny knowledge friedman if i'm good ten ferment for i did get a new redneck free ice my nipples got babe for i didn't know larry come on. i just got to our guard is a day goldman nipple got to day by god it's so goddamn cold one nipples got there
