Larry The Cable Guy: I was born and raised in Pawnee City, Nebraska. I lived right next to the sale barn and I raised pigs. My dad was a guidance counselor at Wymore High School. He was also a preacher and did farming as well. We leased out our crop land but had cattle and horses.

Larry The Cable Guy: (referring to Lisa Lampanelli at Jeff Foxworthy’s roast) We dated in the late '80s and I have a lot of shit on her! Okay, we never dated but I have a lot of shit on her.
