- 0:46Speaker 1: and we're gonna sit here and talk about how brilliant
- 0:48Speaker 1: you are in coming to Charlotte, because it's like the
- 0:50Speaker 1: world comes here anyway, and with you traveling the world,

- 0:59Speaker 3: audiences and always always have fun. So yeah, so thanks
- 1:03Speaker 3: thanks for having me on.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Dude, Dude, you've always been so actively involved with where
- 1:08Speaker 1: your listeners and your followers are, because I mean with
- 1:10Speaker 1: the DVD and now the TV show the cars that
- 1:12Speaker 1: drive us, this is where we are out here, and
- 1:15Speaker 1: you just have this knack of really tapping into who
- 1:18Speaker 1: we are.
- 1:20Speaker 3: Well, you know, I I love this country and I
- 1:24Speaker 3: love the opportunities that it's brought me. And uh, there's
- 1:27Speaker 3: nothing more fun than going around and entertaining folks and
- 1:31Speaker 3: making them laugh. And Uh, with this extra cash that
- 1:34Speaker 3: the dummies have brought me, I started buying cars and
- 1:38Speaker 3: this passion turned into a disease.
- 1:40Speaker 2: And now I got all these cars, and I thought,
- 1:42Speaker 2: what are we gonna do with all this? And so we.
- 1:45Speaker 3: Came up with a car show and I think everybody's
- 1:47Speaker 3: gonna love this thing.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Well, dude, right away, when I found out and started
- 1:51Speaker 1: watching this, this reminded me so much of He had
- 1:53Speaker 1: to have been inspired by Christine from Stephen King when
- 1:56Speaker 1: that car talks, because I just feel like that you're
- 1:58Speaker 1: talking to these cars as well as he's got a
- 2:01Speaker 1: relationship with those metal monsters.
- 2:05Speaker 3: Well to make it a little simpler if you're familiar
- 2:08Speaker 3: with the shows, the movies that made us, and the
- 2:11Speaker 3: toys that made us.
- 2:13Speaker 2: The same people who did that.
- 2:15Speaker 3: I thought they do that with the movies and the toys,
- 2:17Speaker 3: why don't we do that with these amazing vehicles, because
- 2:20Speaker 3: you know they all have interesting stories and interesting genesis
- 2:23Speaker 3: and and uh, you know, let's find the people that
- 2:28Speaker 3: made these things happen. And that's what the show is
- 2:30Speaker 3: all about.
- 2:31Speaker 2: It.
- 2:31Speaker 3: But it's not zero to sixty in so many seconds
- 2:34Speaker 3: and a giant motor and drinking beer and cursing.
- 2:37Speaker 2: This is a show for the whole family.
- 2:38Speaker 3: But we delve into the people and the heart and
- 2:42Speaker 3: soul behind these amazing cars that have changed us, entertained
- 2:45Speaker 3: this for so many years.
- 2:47Speaker 2: And that's what I love about the show.
- 2:49Speaker 3: And it's like, who knew that the Corvette was designed
- 2:52Speaker 3: in secret in the basement at GM under the noses
- 2:56Speaker 3: of management, and.
- 2:59Speaker 2: You know who knew?
- 3:00Speaker 3: We know John Deloorian for his cocaine problem and how
- 3:03Speaker 3: all that backfired on him, but you don't know all
- 3:08Speaker 3: the inside about John Delorian and what drill that guy,
- 3:12Speaker 3: And that's what this show is about.
- 3:14Speaker 1: Well, you're also proving to us that the car has
- 3:16Speaker 1: been such a major part of our story. It's almost
- 3:19Speaker 1: like the invisible family member that nobody talks about unless
- 3:22Speaker 1: it's a really hot car, and then I say, you
- 3:24Speaker 1: want to see this, Yeah, I did last week, but
- 3:26Speaker 1: still the car is so important, and you prove that
- 3:28Speaker 1: to us. Yeah.
- 3:30Speaker 3: And I look at these things as pieces of artwork too,
- 3:35Speaker 3: because they're not just they're mechanical marvels, but they are
- 3:39Speaker 3: also pieces of artwork. And you have so many different
- 3:43Speaker 3: people that work on these things, or there's a handful
- 3:46Speaker 3: of episodes where it is just one guy that literally
- 3:49Speaker 3: did just about everything. And you know, again, so many
- 3:54Speaker 3: different stories and it's never the same.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Jeff Dunham coming
- 3:59Speaker 1: up next, The Cars that Drove Us that's the TV show.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Plus he's also got a DVD and a world tour.
- 4:07Speaker 1: We are back with comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham. How
- 4:11Speaker 1: do you sit in a hum vy with Arnold Schwarzenegger
- 4:14Speaker 1: and not want to impersonat him? Right there in front
- 4:16Speaker 1: of him is honored. I can do better than you, buddy.
- 4:19Speaker 1: You watch how I do you? Dude?
- 4:22Speaker 2: That's right? And smoke a cigar at the same time.
- 4:24Speaker 3: And yeah, and what's great is his first hum Vy,
- 4:29Speaker 3: his first hummer that he has. You know, the cigar
- 4:31Speaker 3: is sitting there and it's all you know. Obviously Arnold
- 4:34Speaker 3: has just gotten.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Out of it. But yeah, it was great for the
- 4:37Speaker 2: hummer episode. And how many not.
- 4:40Speaker 3: A lot of people know this that the reason civilians
- 4:43Speaker 3: are able to drive hummers around is all because Arnold Swarzenegger.
- 4:46Speaker 3: He's all the hum vy, the military hum vy, and
- 4:49Speaker 3: he wanted to drive one himself. And so he made
- 4:52Speaker 3: a deal with am General and the government and pulled
- 4:55Speaker 3: some strings and only as Arnold could, and then it
- 4:58Speaker 3: turned into a whole program and a whole legion of
- 5:01Speaker 3: vehicles that were produced for many years and went.
- 5:03Speaker 2: To the H two and then the Age three is
- 5:05Speaker 2: pretty great.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Can I call you the Bob Hope of this generation
- 5:09Speaker 1: because the way that you write material for every city
- 5:11Speaker 1: that you go into reminds me so much of when
- 5:13Speaker 1: Bob came to Billings, Montana, and I thought, how in
- 5:16Speaker 1: God's name would you even find material? But you do
- 5:19Speaker 1: the same thing. And I love how you localize everything.
- 5:22Speaker 1: It's almost like you're one of us and you live here.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Ah, well, thank you. That's a huge compliment. Arrow.
- 5:28Speaker 3: I do try and pay attention to where I am
- 5:30Speaker 3: and not just walk on stage and hit play, because
- 5:32Speaker 3: that's that's always a mistake. So it is fun to,
- 5:36Speaker 3: you know, figure out where they are and what you're
- 5:38Speaker 3: talking about and who you're in front of. And you know,
- 5:41Speaker 3: that's another thing I'll get on my soapbox for a second.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Here people pay good money for the show and they're
- 5:46Speaker 3: expected to be entertained, and so I do approach it
- 5:49Speaker 3: like Carson and Leno and go all the way back
- 5:52Speaker 3: to Bob Hope, where you know, if you tell political jokes,
- 5:56Speaker 3: to tell it for both sides, So don't pick a side,
- 5:59Speaker 3: and don't preach to people that they're idiots if they
- 6:01Speaker 3: don't think like you do.
- 6:03Speaker 2: And so that's what I try and do.
- 6:04Speaker 3: I an equal opportunity offender, but not that bad.
- 6:09Speaker 1: You're spoiling us here in Carolina because you were just
- 6:11Speaker 1: in Charlotte and now you're going to be at Harris
- 6:13Speaker 1: Casino and Cherokee on May twenty second. My god, dude,
- 6:16Speaker 1: you're really you're loving us down here.
- 6:20Speaker 3: You know, I just follow the laughs. It's where they're
- 6:22Speaker 3: buying tickets and laughing.
- 6:23Speaker 2: That's where I'm going to be.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Where can people go to get those tickets where you
- 6:26Speaker 1: feel inside your soul, this is the right place to
- 6:29Speaker 1: get the tickets.
