Lord, I Apologize

Before the arena tours, the Blue Collar empire, and a decade voicing a Pixar tow truck, Dan Whitney put on a sleeveless flannel and created a stand-up juggernaut. Lord, I Apologize is the solo audio debut of Larry the Cable Guy, capturing the precise moment a syndicated radio bit turned into a mainstream persona. The act relies entirely on rapid-fire rural analogies and absurd stories about a fictional extended family, all delivered through an exaggerated drawl.

Recorded live at the Funny Bone in Omaha, Nebraska, in the summer of 2001, the set serves as a foundation for his eventual catalog. This is where the inescapable Git-R-Done catchphrase first found a massive audience. Across forty-five minutes, he details flea market trips, terrible dentists, and Martians targeting country folks.

The release hit number one on the Billboard comedy charts and eventually went gold. It concludes with a musical title track featuring a guitar cameo by Mark Tremonti of Creed.
