1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,799
Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: Saturdays this summer for deep dives on single topics. Helloo,

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,760
I'm Johnny Mack and let's start in Chicago. It's two

4
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,320
thousand and two. We are in a rat infested basement.

5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,039
Aprighetzi's there with his friend Michael Clay. They were meeter

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,480
readers at a water company back home, and they decided

7
00:00:26,519 --> 00:00:29,239
they were going to become comedians. They moved to Chicago

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,480
and rented a basement they nicknamed the Dugout, and they

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,039
signed up for classes at Second City, you know, the

10
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:37,039
improv factory that gave you Bill Murray Tina Fey half

11
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:39,960
of every SNL cast for fifty years. Nate did it

12
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,520
for a minute and figured out pretty quickly improv was

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,600
not his thing. He switched over to a stand up

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,759
program run by a guy named Jim Routh. Nate did

15
00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:49,799
his first set in April of two thousand and three

16
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,320
and started picking up scraps around Chicago and back home

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:52,920
in Nashville.

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,399
Speaker 1: H my name's Nate. It might be hard to understand me.

19
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:04,680
And sometimes I come in New York City. I'm just

20
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:08,040
going from Nashville. I'll wear this shirt for a couple

21
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:11,560
of reasons. So if I get questions like that, they

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,799
just they're oh okay. If people come in late, they

23
00:01:16,879 --> 00:01:19,519
know they don't have to interrupt us by asking. They'll

24
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:22,799
just read my shirt and they can't figure that out.

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,120
And they're probably from Nashville too. You're probably have the

26
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:31,959
same shirt. I also wear it in case I get

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,159
lost people not wearing the sinem It's kind of like

28
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:39,200
a dog leash. I got my name to know where

29
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,000
written in the back.

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,159
Speaker 2: This part of the story matters because it skips the

31
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:47,359
aprighetsy creation, myth that he's this wholesome Nashville guy. His

32
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:50,319
dad's a magician, he does clean comedy. It skips the

33
00:01:50,359 --> 00:01:53,200
part where he actually came up in Chicago. He wasn't

34
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,280
a regional guy who got discovered. He went did the

35
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:57,959
unglamorous thing the comedians do, which has moved somewhere else

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,280
with a real comedy scene, and get humiliated in front

37
00:02:00,319 --> 00:02:03,480
of small rooms until something clicks. In two thousand and four,

38
00:02:03,879 --> 00:02:06,359
Nate moved to New York City. He got a job

39
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,639
as a barker for the Boston Comedy Club, which is

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,960
a club in New York City, which meant standing in

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,759
Greenwich Village handing out flyers in exchange for stage time

42
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,639
at night. You ever see these guys, they'll be like, hey,

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,039
do you like stand up comedy? It is a rough gig.

44
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,319
Nate was also driving for FedEx and walking dogs during

45
00:02:21,319 --> 00:02:24,319
the day to make the rent. But back in those days,

46
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:26,680
the Boston Comedy Club was a real room. Dave Chappelle

47
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,319
came through there, Bill Burr, Patrise, O'Neill, Louis c K.

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,199
Nate has talked about watching those guys from the back,

49
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,599
paying close attention to comedians who were not doing clean comedy,

50
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,759
and he has said it took close to a year

51
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,159
before he got his first actual paying gig in New

52
00:02:40,199 --> 00:02:42,400
York City. He described those early years as doing as

53
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,639
many as seven sets a night, bouncing between rooms, which

54
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,599
by his account, is too many. Nate will tell you

55
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:51,400
five is the realistic ceiling before you stop being able

56
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,960
to tell what you're even saying anymore, Nate forgets. He

57
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,639
stayed in New York City for almost nine years, nine

58
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,000
years of the comedy seller the Stand Carolines. That's where

59
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,039
where he got the education, the place where he built

60
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:05,120
the timing and the writing instincts that everybody now associates

61
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:07,759
with effortless dad comedy, except none of it was effortless,

62
00:03:07,759 --> 00:03:10,120
and none of it happened in Nashville. He built this

63
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:12,919
in rooms that were dirty and rowdier than almost anything

64
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,360
he had ever performed himself. And the interesting part is

65
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,080
that people in the quote unquote mainstream comedy culture openly

66
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,919
liked him, despite Nate being nothing like them. The detail

67
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,680
that the dirty comics of that era genuinely loved Nate

68
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:29,439
tells you that the cleanliness was never a defensive posture.

69
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,719
It's just who he was tested against an audience that

70
00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:34,439
had every incentive to expose him if he wasn't real.

71
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,319
Part of the discovery story I don't hear about involves

72
00:03:37,439 --> 00:03:41,199
Mark Maren. Maren saw Nate at a festival called LaughFest

73
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,080
back in twenty twelve and tweeted about him and brought

74
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:48,520
him on to WTF that same year. Mark Maren not

75
00:03:48,599 --> 00:03:52,639
exactly known for a wholesome sensibility, not exactly the Nashville demo,

76
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:55,240
but Maren always had a sharp eye for who's actually

77
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,039
good underneath the surface presentation, and he clocked Nate almost immediately.

78
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:02,680
That WTAF appearance did something specific for Nate's career, put

79
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,240
them in front of an audience of comedy people, the

80
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:08,240
exact opposite of the casual audience had been known for,

81
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:11,400
and that audience responded because the writing was that strong.

82
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: I think I got a fascination with people that live

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,759
in the South. I want them to h to set

84
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:23,160
me straight on it and and and make me appreciate

85
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,519
it as a place where a lot of different kind

86
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,160
of people live, and not just the kind of people

87
00:04:28,199 --> 00:04:29,920
that are stereotypically Southern.

88
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're like the rest of the country, you are,

89
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,560
except New York and LA the only ones that are different.

90
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:36,920
Oh really, I think so.

91
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 3: So we're the assholes.

92
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean sort of like y'all Like New York always

93
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,279
baffles me because they're like they are like so small

94
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:48,319
on America. Yeah, and they're just like this is how

95
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,199
it is, and this is how y'all are. And I'm like,

96
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,480
in your own state, their people are not like that,

97
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,439
Like they're your own Like they're You're only thirty miles

98
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:58,879
away from hill people, yeah, like I mean very close. Yeah.

99
00:04:59,079 --> 00:05:02,879
And my people that I can go talk to and

100
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:03,399
get out.

101
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,759
Speaker 3: Let's go to upstate in the town.

102
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,439
Speaker 2: Of seven and they get it.

103
00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:10,959
Speaker 1: They get me. They I can go to Walmart and

104
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,519
walk around and breathe and feel good about myself.

105
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,519
Speaker 2: Around that time, Jim Gaffigan was advocating for Nate, calling

106
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,319
him one of the best up and comers in the business.

107
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,399
Jimmy Fallon found him around the same time and put

108
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,240
him on Late Night in twenty thirteen, then brought Nate

109
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,720
onto something called the Clean Cut Comedy Tour, which Nate

110
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,600
used that year to win both the New York and

111
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:31,920
Boston Comedy Festivals.

112
00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, please give it up for Nate by

113
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:34,439
got it.

114
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,959
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you everybody that was exciting, you know,

115
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:53,879
it felt it felt good, all right. I'm from Tennessee originally. Yeah,

116
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:58,399
so that's something. And I lived in New York though

117
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:01,279
for years. I'm on board in New York. I like it.

118
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,560
It's I like the driving. It's like great, It's very intense.

119
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,759
It's everybody just honks it, everybody NonStop. And that's how

120
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,439
it should be everywhere, you know, like growing up in

121
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:13,879
the South, no one honks their horn ever. People just

122
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,199
sit at lights and they're just like, if you want

123
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,399
to go, I totally understand.

124
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 2: Conan had him on the Old TBS Show back in

125
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,720
two thousand and eight and brought him back multiple times

126
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,480
over the years.

127
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: Very excited to be out here. Love getting to travel

128
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,600
a bit. I've been through a lot of different countries lately,

129
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:33,079
and it's always weird because like every time I go

130
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:36,000
to another country, I don't never know where it's at. Uh,

131
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:39,279
because I'm from Tennessee. I didn't learn about countries in school.

132
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,279
I learned about Tennessee. I learned about the states that

133
00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:46,199
touched us in case they attacked, and then I was

134
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,120
told the rest was Europe and that's where the gays

135
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,319
were made.

136
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 2: So by the time most casual audiences eventually discovered Nate

137
00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:56,480
through a Netflix special The Actual Comedy Folks Maren Gaffigan

138
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,759
Vallan Conan other comedy Snobs You Me had already spent

139
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:02,319
close to a decade quietly insisting he was one of

140
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,600
the best pure writers working. Twenty fourteen, yelled At by

141
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:08,199
a Clown eight number two on the Billboard Comedy Charts.

142
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:11,040
Full Time Magic followed in twenty fifteen, the title of

143
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,480
that one a nod to his dad's actual career as

144
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,759
a working magician. In twenty nineteen, The Tennessee Kid, That's

145
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,560
the One a lot of the comedy nerds points to

146
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,439
is the moment the writing fully arrived was now confident

147
00:07:21,519 --> 00:07:23,800
specific less about proving it could be clean and more

148
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:26,360
about just being funny on his own terms. No Gimmick

149
00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:30,439
twenty twenty One's the Greatest Average American on Netflix got

150
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,519
made a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album. Then he

151
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,839
switched teams twenty twenty three, Hello World went to Amazon Prime.

152
00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:41,680
That became the most streamed original comedy special in Amazon's

153
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,000
history in its first twenty eight days. And then there

154
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,439
was Saturday Night Live. Nay Brighetzi hosted Saturday Night Live

155
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,480
for the first time on October twenty eighth, twenty twenty three,

156
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,000
was the Halloween episode Season forty nine, Your Musical Guest,

157
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,319
The Foo Fighters. His monologue ran long, the response strong

158
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:02,879
enough that both Vanity Fair and Entertainment Weekly both wrote

159
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,079
him up as a standout. He would come back and

160
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,839
host again less than a year later October fifth, twenty

161
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:11,399
twenty four, and season fifty Your Musical Guest Coldplay That

162
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,000
tells us a lot. That's Lord Michael's making a specific

163
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,240
bet that Nate brigets he could deliver ratings and a

164
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:20,040
clean broadcast back to back. Of course, the famous moment

165
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:23,800
is from the first appearance Washington's Dream. He plays George

166
00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:27,160
Washington walking his soldiers through an absurdly over complicated system

167
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,199
of measurements, weights and measures.

168
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:34,039
Speaker 1: Sir, Yes, as I dream of that one day our

169
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,360
proud nation will measure weights and pounds, and that two

170
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,799
thousand pounds shall be called a ton, and what would

171
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,360
one thousand pounds be called, sir nothing.

172
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: That became one of the most clipped sketches of the season,

173
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,320
and Vulture actually ran a piece asking if Nate had

174
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,080
cracked the SNL code, whether his specific deadpan, patient's style

175
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,879
had found a way to work inside of a format

176
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,720
that chews up most posts. Lord Michaels does not invite

177
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,919
anyone back to host within a year. By accident that,

178
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,519
in my opinion, was peak Nate. Dennis starts to get

179
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:11,919
a little rocky, not too bad, but a little old.

180
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:14,600
There was the Emmy hosting gig. In twenty twenty six,

181
00:09:15,399 --> 00:09:18,159
CBS announced Nate as the host of the seventy seventh Emmis.

182
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,039
The monologue leaned into a bit built around Nate's reputation,

183
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:23,360
the premise that he was terrified of offending anyone in

184
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:26,240
a room full of famous, powerful people, using his clean

185
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,159
image as the engine of the joke rather than working

186
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,679
around it.

187
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: Look at us, we're doing it, all right. Welcome to

188
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,799
the seventy seventh Emmy Awards. You know, it's not a

189
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,960
big one like seventy five or eighty, but it's the

190
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,200
one that gave me. It's an honor to be here tonight.

191
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,879
I mean, I'm so excited to be here. Just all

192
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:49,600
you guys have worked so hard to get here. I mean.

193
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,919
And it's confusing too, because it's just like we even

194
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,039
McIntyre feel like I'm about the Grammys, Kate Lanchette feel

195
00:09:56,039 --> 00:10:00,320
like I'm aout the Oscars. Crazy Tina Fey. I thought

196
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,039
like they should have had her host, you know why.

197
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,399
A lot of people were wondering, like why am I hosted?

198
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:16,559
I I don't know what that was, but all right,

199
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,240
it counts as a laugh.

200
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: It's on paper. Maybe it worked in the room. People

201
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,840
felt it ran out of gas before it found its

202
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,879
second gear. The reviews afterward were not kind. Award show

203
00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:32,799
hosting is chewed up funnier people and even more successful

204
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,600
than David Letterman comes to mind under better circumstances, but

205
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,480
it exposed something about the gap between his strength and

206
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,120
the longer format. SNL gives him four minutes with a

207
00:10:42,159 --> 00:10:45,720
premise he can control, and Emmy's monologue is fifteen plus

208
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:48,720
minutes addressing a room that you know isn't there for you.

209
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,679
And then Nate made a movie, an actual movie. The

210
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:55,879
Breadwinner hit theaters May twenty ninth, twenty twenty six. The

211
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,919
pitch his wife, Mandy Moore's character Lance a shark tank

212
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,840
deal and now she he's the one with the career

213
00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:03,320
and Nate's stay at home dad bumbling around with the

214
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,879
three daughters. Yeah, that's it. That's the movie. If you

215
00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:09,559
know Nate's old deal, you know exactly what every scene

216
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,799
looks like. The reviews were not kind. Roger Ebertsite called

217
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,360
it Burgatsley, which is pretty good. And then there was

218
00:11:17,399 --> 00:11:19,919
the UFC event on the south lawn of the White House.

219
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,559
It was UFC Freedom two fifty, which was also part

220
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,759
of the President's eightieth birthday celebration. Nate was there. He's

221
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:30,320
a massive UFC fan, and while there he took a

222
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,240
photo with Cheryl Hines and her husband RFK Junior. Cheryl

223
00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:36,559
posted a photo of the three of them together in

224
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,679
the background. Jd Vance comments blew up on Nate's Instagram.

225
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,879
People had seen him four times were swearing that they

226
00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:46,039
were done. W camal Bell wrote a whole substack about it.

227
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,159
Some outlets started calling Nate Maga comedian Nate berghatsy and

228
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,240
called him part of Team Fascism. His representative put out

229
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,879
a statement saying Nate is not political, nor is anything

230
00:11:55,879 --> 00:11:59,080
he produces, and called him a huge UFC fan who

231
00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:02,559
just wanted to watch fights. All that brings us to Nateland.

232
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,879
In twenty twenty three, Nate launched Nateland Entertainment, not a

233
00:12:06,919 --> 00:12:09,519
touring brand, on a merch line and actual production company.

234
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:12,600
The state ad mission is family friendly content across stand up,

235
00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:16,559
special sketches, scripted shows, podcast music, the whole apparatus. And

236
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,440
then he started to actually use it to actually build

237
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,120
other comedians' careers. He's done great with that. Look at

238
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,200
the Nateland roster. Dusty Slay, Aaron Webber who got a

239
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,879
debut special produced by Nate Nateland, Nick Thune got one,

240
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:32,200
Derek Stroop he was on Netflix, Julian McCullough, Joe Zimmerman,

241
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:36,159
Lachlan Patterson, There was the Nateland podcast, Nateland at Sea,

242
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,519
and actual cruise built around the brand. So while down

243
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,399
in Austin, Tony Hinchcliff and Joe Rogan and Gang are

244
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:45,279
doing one thing, Nate is building a quieter, more family

245
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,639
oriented version of the same idea content company that gives emerging,

246
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,480
clean leaning comedians, a real production budget, a real platform,

247
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,039
and a real audience that already trusts the Nateland lame.

248
00:12:54,639 --> 00:12:56,200
So what do you do when you're at the top

249
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,960
of your game despite some minor stumbles in twenty twenty six,

250
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:02,919
you start to think about walking away from it to

251
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,000
open a theme park, an actual theme park on the

252
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,080
site of Opryland, USA and Nashville that closed in nineteen

253
00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:12,720
ninety seven. Nate plans to build the next great American

254
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:15,919
theme park, a one hundred acre land named after himself.

255
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,919
It will be called Nateland, he told the Wall Street

256
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,080
Jourtle I'm the Mickey Mouse. The initial design for the

257
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,720
park is divided into three sections based on Nate's roots.

258
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,159
Part of it will be Tennessee, part of it his

259
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,360
journey to New York, and the rest He's reach into

260
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:33,240
the world beyond is as people magazine. Guests will enter

261
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:36,720
through a nineteen ninety style mall. The Tennessee themed land

262
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:40,000
will have roller coasters at a donkey dive. The New

263
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,519
York area will have street performers live shows at a

264
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:45,600
ride through a simulated Times Square. Meanwhile, the third section

265
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,399
will have stunt performers and interactive shows. Nate says, I'm

266
00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:51,960
in the ticket selling business. That's all I've ever been in.

267
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:56,120
That's Daily Comedy News for Today, Back tomorrow with a

268
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,240
regular episode.
