And there was this other time,
I'm not bragging,
just happens to be where I was.
I was in Sheridan, Wyoming.
Thank you.
(audience laughing)
Well, I'm sharing this with you.
I was driving my minivan, because I
know you're looking at me going,
Rodney, a man
of your esteemed caliber
drives a minivan?
Wait a sec, I keep one in the fleet.
(audience laughing)
Because I got to do some to keep
the ladies back up off me.
(audience laughing)
Trust me, I know what
I'm dealing with.
Ever since I got up here,
you've been staring at me, yourself.
Wow, this looks
like the loser cousin of Jeff Bridges.
(audience laughing)
Some of the older people
staring at me thinking,
he looks just like Kenny Rogers
at the time he decided to get
plastic surgery.
(audience laughing)
He looks like Santa Claus gave up.
(audience laughing)
So we're there.
Getting liquid petroleum
from a ride.
There's a store there,
and it says, store, beverages,
and snacks.
I'm a big fan of beverages,
and the snacks.
So I started heading to the store,
OK?
And there's a wide-- it's
this long, big parking lot.
Why?
I mean, they got a lot of space.
You got-- everybody's driving
tractors, and there is a trailer,
so they are coming to town
for provisions.
(audience laughing)
It's a lot of space.
So there's a distance
from the liquid petroleum pumps
to the store, right?
So I'm walking-- I'm walking
into the store.
Here's what happened.
This dude is coming out of the store
to save time.
He's got a couple of things
in his arms.
And he looks over at me as he's
standing there, and he just stops,
holding the door with his butt--
(audience laughing)
Which, I might add it's perfectly
suited for.
(audience laughing)
If you ever get in an argument
about intelligent design
versus evolution, you throw that one
out at him, boom!
You win, checkmate.
(audience laughing)
You ain't coming up with that
by chance.
(audience laughing)
So dude sees me, and I see him.
And it's kind of an awkward moment.
I'm kind of like--
really he's just looking at me,
so I had to do that kind of weird--
you know, you're walking
and you got to look like--
(audience laughing)
Kind of act like you're running,
but you're not really running.
In fact, you actually go slower than
if you just kept walking.
But sort of let's you know, sort
of the international sign of,
if I could run--
I would do it now.
(audience laughing)
All right, so I'm scurrying,
scurrying over towards him.
Right.
Also you got to understand something
about me.
I'm very secure in who I am
as a man,
that I can handle another man
holding a door for me.
Very secure.
In fact I'm so secure with who I am
as a man, I can give another man
a hug, a good hug.
Not that weird handshake and tap
on the shoulder thing we do.
That's just gay.
(audience laughing)
Or sometimes you do the two taps
and you're out hug.
Two taps, quit touching me hug.
You know what I'm saying?
Not me.
Two taps, I go in tighter.
(audience laughing)
If I'm feeling it from the dude,
I'll lift him up and pop his back.
(audience laughing)
That's how secure I am.
(audience laughing)
So I get--
I get to this door, right?
And I go, hey.
Because that's what we do,
dudes, we just, hey.
It's all we need.
Everything we need say, right?
Say hey, thanks.
You're welcome.
If you have time, come fishing
with me.
Well, we would like to.
We're just passing through.
Yeah well, I got a nice boat.
Hey, that's pretty cool.
Is that your boat over there?
Yeah, that's my boat.
That's pretty cool.
All that was--
(audience laughing)
Right?
Because if it's two ladies
it gets weird.
You know what I mean?
It's got to turn into a thing.
You know what I mean?
Because one of these is like--
Hey, I just wanted
to know that I really appreciate
that you took your time to wait
for me
and stand here and hold the door.
Because you didn't have to hold
the door, because I was so far away
that you could have just kept going,
and you didn't have to stop,
but obviously you got things going
on in your life, and you got all
light and your arms are full
of stuff, and your family's probably
waiting for you, and you just took
a moment to hold the door for me,
and I just wanted you to know that
even though it wasn't-- it's not
a big thing, it is a big thing
to me, because it's the little
things that really matter and I just
want you to know that I totally
and truly appreciate what
you've done.
(audience laughing)
Well, I want you to know that I
truly appreciate that you took
that time to appreciate what I was
doing,
because I'm not trying to make
any big statements,
I'm not trying to break down
the patriarchy or anything.
I'm just trying to be a nice person,
and people just need to be nice
to people, and don't--
people are just
so mad about everything and all
the time, but I just think just
a little type pleasantries, just
being nice to each other is what we
really need to do.
(audience laughing)
That is so true.
I completely understand exactly what
you're saying and I think that we need
to show the world that people are
still nice people in this world,
would you let me take a picture
of you?
Let me take a picture with you?
Get a picture?
(audience laughing)
That is perfect.
I'm going to post--
I'm going to put it on my Instagram.
And just-- now what's your name
again?
Veronica?
OK.
Oh my goodness, do you know Denise
from Denver?
You know Denise from Denver?
Well of course I know Denise
from Denver.
We've been friends forever!
We used to Lulu LaRue together,
and then we got lots of stuff
that people weren't buying from Lulu
LaRue, because it's like once you
have 10, 7 pieces of you
pretty much have everything you're
ever going to need from Lulu LaRue.
So then we decided,
you know what we
should do, we should do it again.
So we started doing this.
We just started doing New England
candles.
They were really nice.
But they came out with three wicks,
and I just didn't understand why are
you having to do the three wicks?
Because they're always strong enough
with one wick
and then you do the three wicks--
it's just too strong!
And then you open up the window,
and then what's the point of having
the candle?
You're just going to open
the window.
And then-- but if you only light one
of the wicks,
it burns down over on one side
and then it gets cattywumpus
it kind of ruins the aesthetic
of the candle and begins with it
and it just kind of defeats
the purpose if you have the three
wicks.
(audience laughing)
That's what
I keep telling people!
I don't understand the three wicks.
Now they're coming up with five wicks.
That's just crazy!
So I started doing Scentsy candles.
Scentsy candles!
That's what we've been doing.
I love the scentsy candles!
Because you can get more variety
with just the way--
Or, you know,
something like that.
(audience applauding)
