00:03:35
>> Yes. So, because I've seen people in the studio with you. >> Yeah.
00:03:40
>> This is my house, Dennis, and this is a studio if we need it. And Dana lives in
00:03:45
a mansion about three hours away. I'm on a I'm on a farm, but I can get there.
00:03:52
>> I'm on a farm, too. >> You're not just saying that. >> No, I'm on a farm. I'm on a farm. A
00:03:58
horse farm. >> Oh, okay. We got a couple horses right now. Long story short, but yeah.
00:04:04
>> Is your wife >> my wife? Is your wife a rider? >> I thought you said, is she around?
00:04:11
>> Is she around? >> I said she's in the car. talk to your wife for a second.
00:04:17
>> But look, if people request going into the studio live, I will almost always
00:04:23
try to make it, you know, >> almost always try. >> A lot of people who thought you were be
00:04:29
in Boston, so you wouldn't want to make the trip out, but somebody's been doing
00:04:34
some local podcasts. >> Oh, yeah. >> How aren't you? Where are you now? I'm
00:04:39
in right now I'm in New York. >> Interesting. >> Yes. >> Where's your precious farm?
00:04:45
>> What state? >> The farm is in New York. It's right outside the city.
00:04:50
>> It's a long story. I'm a city. I'm a city kid and I and I always was. I was
00:04:54
born and raised in the city. But my wife um uh you know wanted to once we got money, my wife met me when we had
00:05:03
nothing. Um once we got money, she wanted to ride horses and she became a competitive rider. So we always had
00:05:09
horses. Now when the kids grew up, they refused to come visit us on that farm, which was like three hours out of the
00:05:17
city. So we moved closer to the city with a little tiny farm with a couple of ponies.
00:05:23
>> Wait a minute. So you had no money basically. >> No money, no credit card.
00:05:29
>> This woman called your wife now, >> this amazing woman >> liked you who's amazing with no money.
00:05:36
>> No money. No, no money. No credit cards, nothing. I didn't have >> and no real possibilities for any kind
00:05:43
of success. >> I mean, think about it really. Like, think about the Boston comedy scene in
00:05:47
1985 or 88. >> Yeah. She probably dated Lenny Clark. >> Yeah, exactly.
00:05:53
>> Jimmy Tingle. >> Yeah. We were all getting paid under the table at at a at a club run by Lenny
00:05:59
Clark's brother, Mike. That's what we did for a living. >> This what I want to ask you just that
00:06:05
we're here right now. is just the Boston scene. >> Yeah. >> And who's carrying the torch for
00:06:11
whatever you call that? >> You know, you had your quirkies. You had Paula Poundstone. You had Bobcat Gwe.
00:06:18
>> All right. >> You had Stephen Wright. >> Stephen Wright. Steven Wright was the
00:06:22
start of it all. >> He was the big one. >> But a lot of hulking like kind of badass
00:06:27
type. >> Yeah. >> You know, rough and tumble clubs. I saw the documentary. You fight. you you
00:06:33
throwing chairs and >> and you were part of that wave. >> I mean, >> where did where's that coming from?
00:06:39
Should I visit Boston or watch my back or what? What what's all the anger? >> Well, I don't know. They again, that's
00:06:45
one of those things that people constantly ask me, Bill Burr, you know, [ __ ] uh they asked Bobcat, too,
00:06:53
because Bobcat there was a lot of anger in Bobcat's act. >> Zoinks. >> Uh yeah.
00:06:58
>> Yeah. A lot of >> I think it's just a lot >> though. >> Yeah. Really? I mean, great scene,
00:07:04
>> right? But some of the funniest people weren't angry people. Steve Wright
00:07:08
wasn't angry. That was a >> No, no, it was just amazing. >> That was a beautiful like pristine ha
00:07:14
coup act. I mean, just amazing act, right? >> Paula Brownstone. Paula was just like
00:07:20
really so um you know open and friendly to the she used to sit you know the rest
00:07:25
of us are attacking the audience like like we want to kill them and she sits on a stool and opens up and everybody
00:07:32
[ __ ] loves her. >> Yeah. >> So >> you know it was weird >> very fast. I used to do a bit because I
00:07:38
just thought of an angry comedian and and uh >> I know this guy. I know this character.
00:07:43
>> And then and then this guy gets really rich and famous but still has to find
00:07:49
ways to be angry, >> you know? And I did this bit and then people thought I was doing Bill, but I
00:07:55
started thinking of it in the 90s. >> Yeah, I know, right? >> You know what drives me [ __ ] nuts.
00:08:00
What drives me out of my [ __ ] mind? Meet a mates. What are you driving a [ __ ] golf cut? I need a parking
00:08:05
ticket. What are you gonna get a nine iron in there? The [ __ ] You know you know what drives me out of my [ __ ]
00:08:11
mind? pickles cyclone fences. You can't get a regular [ __ ] fence. So anyway,
00:08:16
that was the bit. And uh >> I love that guy. I love that character. >> I love being in that attitude because
00:08:23
it's not me. I'm a people pleaser and and hopelessly whatever. You know,
00:08:27
>> Louis Black was constantly in a state of rage. >> Oh yeah. Lewis Black was [ __ ] in a
00:08:31
rage. >> A rage no matter what. >> I mean, he made me look like [ __ ]
00:08:35
Paula Pound. >> Yours was like funny stupid rage. just mad at stupid [ __ ] I think.
00:08:42
>> Yeah. Mine Mine was silly [ __ ] crazy. And it still is. Like when I do I do
00:08:47
stand up twice a year, right? I have two charity concerts I >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:51
>> One in Boston, >> uh, which is a big gig for the Cam Ney Foundation. That's like [ __ ] 15,000
00:08:57
people, and the other one is the Michael J. Fox uh, Foundation show, which is private as well. Uh, but um, you know,
00:09:04
it's a smaller crowd. It's a few thousand. But I don't do any old material except the [ __ ] song. But I
00:09:10
just It's amazing like [ __ ] how I mean I'm I can't remember exactly what
00:09:16
the bit was, but when I went up this fall, I did a whole thing about RFK Jr. But about being from Massachusetts, like
00:09:23
to be considered an [ __ ] if you're a Kennedy from Massachusetts, you really
00:09:28
have to agree to because everybody is so [ __ ] still pro Kennedy, right? You have
00:09:33
>> Vic Kennedy. >> Yeah. They still love the [ __ ] Kennedys in Massachusetts. So,
00:09:38
egregiously, you have to piss off You have to piss off everybody in Massachusetts, but your family
00:09:44
>> has to speak out first. So, when your family comes out and says, "Hey, [ __ ]
00:09:47
him." Then we all go, "All right." Yeah. It's crazy. >> Not flying formation. There's a Kennedy
00:09:54
formation and Bobby went, I'm I'm going over here. >> Do you even doing stand up on those
00:09:59
things, you got to get nervous. I mean, it's still stand up. You got to do a
00:10:02
long set. Yeah, it's well, you know that feeling now. It's not so much nervous. It's just
00:10:07
like when at the ages that we're at hopefully, it's more like the butterflies like I want the show to
00:10:12
start, right? >> It's not It's not true like it's not the It's not panic. It's like, [ __ ] can't
00:10:18
wait to get up there. Hope I remember this. You know what I mean? Like, >> right. It's not like, oh, if I do well
00:10:23
here, maybe I'll have a career or, you know, I was bombed so hard >> at the improv in Hollywood. Yeah. I went
00:10:31
on an 805, you know, I mean I mean death and I was killing in the clubs in the hinderland and then they said, "Hey,
00:10:38
Norman Leer thought it was pretty funny." I What the [ __ ] He was there, you know. So
00:10:43
>> what was Lear doing there? >> I don't know. >> Well, this is a while back. My point D.
00:10:51
We're not nervous in that sense that we're dancing for our donuts. We we
00:10:55
we've had our careers and now we're continuing, >> which is another thing I wanted to ask
00:10:59
you about because >> well, I could see it like because I I stick a I usually put a a young or first
00:11:05
time person for a gig that size on the Cam Neily thing in Boston, but also at the Michael J. Fox gig like you know
00:11:13
there there'll be a person there who's doing it for the first time at Youngcom
00:11:16
and I can see I can see the panic that we all used to for >> right. So you go like hey man it's it's
00:11:23
going to be fine. It's a [ __ ] charity. Whatever. You give them the heads up, right? Um, so I understand
00:11:28
that. I remember that. I mean, we all remember that. >> I was doing one with Billy Crystal in
00:11:32
the early 80s. Somehow I had the same manager and they got me on a little Showtime special. I had like two
00:11:37
minutes. Andy Coffman was the headliner. I was [ __ ] panicked. I had no business being on this show. And Billy
00:11:44
Crystal goes, "You got Finn in your face. Go outside and walk around. Get outside right now. Walk around. You You
00:11:50
look nervous." You know, he was really trying to help me. But I remember that.
00:11:54
>> Did you go out and walk around? >> Didn't help at all. I completely bombed,
00:11:57
you know. >> What did you do? What material did you do? >> Oh, I did a Jacusto bit. Come on. We're
00:12:03
going back. You know, >> Dennis, don't make that face. >> You couldn't kill with a Jacusto bit.
00:12:09
>> You can't kill with [ __ ] Dennis. >> I was first up and I had two minutes.
00:12:15
But the point is is that I understand the young comedian going to these big giant charity events. 15,000 people.
00:12:24
>> Yeah. >> Listen, man. I still remember I mean I don't know I can't remember what your
00:12:28
guys backtories was on this, but I [ __ ] Lenny Clark ran that [ __ ] um the big comedy night in Boston. The
00:12:36
first comedy night was run by Lenny Clark. It was a Wednesday night open mic, but he would have like he would
00:12:42
have you come back over and over again, right, at a Chinese [ __ ] restaurant in Cain, right? So, like I [ __ ] went
00:12:50
up the first time. I went up because I I went to college with Steve Wright at Emerson College. And so, somebody said
00:12:55
and he was the shiest [ __ ] guy in the world. And somebody a mutual friend said, "Hey, Steve went up at a [ __ ]
00:13:02
Chinese restaurant last night um and did standup." And I he lived around the
00:13:06
corner from me. So, I went around the corner to his apartment. I was like, "What the fuck?" He's like, "Yeah, I'm
00:13:10
doing He goes, I didn't face the audience. I faced the wall, but I did pretty well." So, I went and I saw it
00:13:17
and I couldn't do what he did, but I could do what Lenny Clark did because Lenny was like a regular guy off the
00:13:22
street. >> Regular. >> Yeah. >> And I [ __ ] bombed. I must have bombed
00:13:27
for [ __ ] 10 weeks. And every time I bombed, there'd be like a tiny little laugh. I'd go, "Oh, that was a pretty
00:13:33
good thing." Yeah. >> And then Lenny would go, "Hey, come back next week." He would just keep telling
00:13:37
me to come back and I would [ __ ] bomb. But then there'd be like two bits. And so like either you
00:13:44
>> when did you when did you have your first one little line or one little
00:13:47
attitude or one bit that was surefire like oh I can always lean on this everything else sucked but
00:13:53
>> yeah so I did when I was in college at at Emerson College in Boston. We for a
00:13:59
bunch of us formed a thing called the Emerson Comedy Workshop and it was a you know a theater group where we had to do
00:14:04
original shows all we had to write all the material to get credit for it. So, one of the characters I eventually
00:14:10
played in that while I was in college was a guy, everything was kind of, you know, be behind a fourth wall because it
00:14:16
was the theater. But there was one character I played we called Bill who was a really [ __ ] angry guy. It was
00:14:22
basically me. It was a really angry guy who smoked and who just [ __ ] talked to the audience and ranted and raved
00:14:27
about the Kennedy assassination or whatever, right? Um, he's literally like your parking meter guy except it was me.
00:14:36
So when I when Steve Wright was doing that thing, I was like, "Well, that I'm
00:14:41
just going to try to do the guy that guy, right? That guy was me. It was basically me."
00:14:46
>> So everything wasn't working. >> But then I I wrote my like I the first
00:14:53
uh smoking joke I wrote, which was um my sister says, you know, these things are
00:14:58
just a um a replacement because my mom didn't breastfeed me long enough. And I
00:15:03
was like, "Hey, if I could buy a pack of tits, I would." That was the first
00:15:09
>> pack of tits. >> I was like, "Oh, >> pack of tits."
00:15:13
>> Yeah, pack of tits is a great word package. Like, >> that was the first joke where I went
00:15:20
like, "Oh, fuck." >> Yeah. >> Then you're like, "How do I work tits in
00:15:23
every joke?" >> Yeah. I need 10 10 packs. >> That's all you learned. 10 pats of jokes
00:15:30
that are as good as >> as good. It took me a while, but there was that was where I got my first
00:15:35
smoking angry smoking chuck. >> The Emmy winning comedy scrubs is back to ABC with a fresh pulse. It's been 15
00:15:44
years since we've checked in with the gang at Sacred Heart Hospital. The beloved original cast, Zack Braph,

00:15:57
their iconic roles. And scrub fans, you'll be thrilled to see some of your fan favorite characters pop up, though

00:16:16
there's a healthy injection of super funny, colorful new characters, including a fresh group of newbie
00:16:21
interns and co-workers/ nemesises like Vanessa Bayer and Joel Kim Booster. >> The new season of Scrubs, Wednesdays at
00:16:29
87 central on ABC and stream on Hulu. Did you smoke? I have to ask. Or was it >> [ __ ] I just quit. I just [ __ ] quit
00:16:38
four years ago. I smoked for 52 years. >> Okay, so it was not a prop. >> Oh, no. [ __ ] No, I stopped smoking
00:16:46
after No Cure for Cancer because on stage because I was like there's no [ __ ] point now because it's like
00:16:52
people expect me to smoke. I I'll just get rid but I smoked like a [ __ ] chimney until four years ago.
00:16:58
>> And you smoked on stage? >> Smoked on stage >> and nobody cared.
00:17:02
>> Nobody gave a [ __ ] I smoked at I smoked on stage at Carnegie Hall. I smoke where
00:17:07
you're not allowed to smoke at all. >> Yeah. >> Um I smoked I smoked everywhere. I
00:17:12
smoked in [ __ ] Mayor Bloomberg's office in New York City while he was the mayor.
00:17:16
>> He was the complete anti-smoking guy. >> I would just light up. I would just
00:17:20
[ __ ] light up until people told me. >> Did you have a cool move with it?
00:17:24
Because if it wasn't dangerous, I mean, I thought John Ham in um >> Mad Men.
00:17:29
>> Mad Met. >> He was so brilliant with the cigarette and making it intensely cool the way you
00:17:35
smoked it. Did you have moves that you were conscious of or did you just look cool? No, I tr on stage I always tried
00:17:42
to look the opposite of cool with it. So I was always like making it huge, you know what I mean? Like big gestures.
00:17:49
>> Um, >> but I I don't know if I was cool in real I thought I was cool in real life
00:17:53
smoking. >> Did you ever put it in your mouth and keep talking like Brad Pitt did Once
00:17:57
Upon a Time in Hollywood? >> Yeah, that is the cool move when it you know.
00:18:01
>> [ __ ] dude. I smoked I smoked all the time. >> You knew what you were doing. Yeah.
00:18:05
>> Have you had your lungs checked out or how are you? >> Now here's the [ __ ] thing, right?
00:18:10
I quit drinking like 20 years ago. I I'm not like a health nook, but there I, you
00:18:15
know, I I'm physically active. I play a lot of [ __ ] sports. I, you know, try
00:18:19
to keep myself in shape. Colin Quinn, you know, who quit smoking a long time ago, was the guy when I saw him, he'd be
00:18:26
like, "Hey, you're gonna you're never going to quit. You're never." So that
00:18:29
was always in my head, right, that he was probably right because we knew each other back when we were in our 20s, like
00:18:35
when we were all smoking, but he and I smoked like [ __ ] chimneys. So I was like, he's right. I'm never I just gave
00:18:41
up on the idea of quitting. >> So, and I'm this is not any brag. I'm
00:18:46
just telling you guys what happened. And I don't know why it happened. I went
00:18:49
outside to smoke a cigarette in August, four four years ago, I think it was. And
00:18:56
uh and I literally finished the cigarette and I went that's it. And I thought that's weird that I said that to
00:19:03
myself and I had a full pack. So I'm like I'm going to smoke again tomorrow.
00:19:07
I woke up in the morning. I threw that pack away. [ __ ] never smoked again. >> That's cool.
00:19:13
>> I just never I don't know. So it's just like the quitting drinking. I quit
00:19:16
drinking. I was like ah I'm done. Like I think I just have one of those such
00:19:20
addictive personality that at a certain point my brain goes we don't need these
00:19:24
things anymore. Right. Yeah. >> So my wife goes, "You're getting a
00:19:28
[ __ ] checkup and blah blah blah." And I'm like, "Okay." And she's like, "I'm
00:19:31
coming with you because I don't trust you." Which she's right, right? Because
00:19:36
if the doctor told me bad news, I would probably So I go, I do the [ __ ] tests, everything. Running, breathing,
00:19:43
the [ __ ] scans of the lung. And then we have this meeting with the cardiologist, and he's like, "I don't
00:19:47
know what to say, but um you have It's like you never smoked. >> Love it."
00:19:53
>> And I was like, "What?" And as soon as he said it, my wife turned to me. She
00:19:56
goes, "You're not [ __ ] smoking again." And I was like, that was the
00:20:00
first thing I thought, like, I can start smoking again. But I did. >> I got I got lucky genetically.
00:20:07
>> I got totally lucky. >> People drink like a fish, go to 95, you know, and other people, you know. So
00:20:13
>> my mother died at 98. >> She just passed away. And she never smoked or drank a day in her life. My
00:20:20

00:22:20
just going, going, going. I don't know how you do it, but now you got a new show. We can talk about that. You
00:22:25
probably don't want to people to know about it though, right? >> The only reason I'm talking to you,
00:22:32
[ __ ] >> Get out there. >> Honestly, though, even if I didn't have
00:22:37
a show, I would I I you know, my podcast uh habits are so [ __ ] up because I'm
00:22:44
so old school. I literally have only listened to the podcasts that are on satellite radio in my truck when I'm
00:22:50
driving around. I drive >> the easiest way. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. Sure.
00:22:53
>> So that's Conan [ __ ] Conan's hadan. >> Oh my god. >> Conan needs a friend. Why? Because he's
00:23:00

00:23:05
>> We looked it up. I was >> We looked up some [ __ ] >> It's [ __ ] up.
00:23:08
>> Now, how tall are you? >> It's a lie. >> 61, but my son is huge. My son is uh 67.
00:23:16
>> Your son is Conan's height. >> Conan. There's a bunch of people in my
00:23:20
family. My dad's side. Uh people are tall and thin. Even the women, right? >> I mean, he has one he had one sister who

00:23:32
tall. My my son is tall. My daughter is tall. Uh my wife has tall people on her side of the family.
00:23:39
>> Okay. Well, most Irish are not tall. >> No, >> Bono is average, you know, 56,
00:23:48
>> 57, >> but Conan our the reason you could tell Conan and I are actually Well, listen,
00:23:53
by the way, it's like it we're from the Southwest. So, and we're all It's not
00:23:58
like everybody's a cousin, you know what I mean? Like, >> yeah. >> So, Conan and I I my whole body is legs.
00:24:06
My torso is tiny and I have a look at this [ __ ] hair now. >> Yeah, you got a little conony hair right
00:24:11
now. >> This hair gets a little bit [ __ ] higher and the legs are longer. I'm
00:24:17
>> right there. >> So, >> and by the way, you want to talk about
00:24:21
angry [ __ ] funny Irish guys. Conan's the king. >> [ __ ] >> Nobody's that guy.
00:24:27
>> He doesn't show it on. >> Is he angry? I mean, he's angry.
00:24:30
>> He's pretty angry on the podcast. He's really [ __ ] funny. I love
00:24:34
>> he can really he can go down the [ __ ] rabbit hole. But anyways, what I was
00:24:37
going to say was I got I became aware of your guys podcast and I I was looking at
00:24:42
it on Instagram because I don't listen to podcast. >> Yeah. >> So, this is my usual thing of seeing
00:24:47
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Well, this is I brought this up. It's not profound, but this is a new art form
00:24:51
where people consuming what we're doing right now are most likely doing something else while they they're
00:24:58
gardening, they're at the gym, or in their car, >> they're in their house doing chores. So,
00:25:02
I used to think razzledazzle. I gota I got to do it. You know, >> it's, you know, they're just listening.
00:25:08
I just want to ask you one question. >> We just aren't loud because you don't
00:25:11
want to wake them, >> right? We have >> most people are taking naps.
00:25:15
>> Go to sleep and don't turn it off and and and pile through like 20 of our
00:25:19
podcasts. You don't remember them. They don't add up to ad dollars. So, my name
00:25:24
I looked it up before, but I did it again. County Siggo Carvey in Gaelic Oarian means rough or rugged.
00:25:39
>> That's a myth. >> Yeah, well that fits. >> Take that, Larry. What's Liry? I looked
00:25:42
up Liry. >> It's calfeper. >> Unusually feminism. Feminist. Sorry.
00:25:48
>> I had the joke and I went too far. >> God, you messed it up. >> I [ __ ] UP. But
00:25:52
>> it means calfeper in actually in Gail. Calf. >> Calf. Calf like a cow. Calf keeper.
00:25:58
>> Oh. Oh. Oh. >> K A L because they we're all we're all [ __ ] farmers in Ireland.
00:26:03
>> Yeah. We My people used to beat up cows. >> Really? >> Because they were so rugged. Hey, let me
00:26:09
ask you guys this. >> You can ask us anything. >> I I know I can. Right. Because I'm a
00:26:14
guest. >> Yes. So when this thing started it was just people from Saturday Night Live that
00:26:20
were connected because that's you know I I keyed in because I was I was interested in that and then so now have
00:26:26
you cycled through all the SNL people and now you're going to other >> we just had Marcelo Hernandez who's
00:26:31
>> I saw I saw parts of that one. >> Yeah. So we still do have that element
00:26:36
but you know you must have auditioned for Saturday Night Live. >> No never.
00:26:40
>> You must have seen it. >> Uh well of course I saw it. I didn't um
00:26:46
they asked me to host it too when I first got famous and I had too much respect for what you guys were doing to
00:26:51
[ __ ] >> What year was that? Thank you. >> 92 93 they they he asked
00:26:56
>> Oh, we would have been there. >> Oh, although >> I know you ended up You did an

00:27:07
[ __ ] um Chris Rock and a couple other people and I was like I knew all this work people were doing like
00:27:13
>> so I had too much respect for that and also why on my day my week off >> from making something and doing press
00:27:20
would I want instead of just doing a talk show which is hard enough to make sure you [ __ ] come out funny on a
00:27:25
talk show. Yeah. >> Would I want to [ __ ] work my balls off for seven days?
00:27:29
>> It's a tough week. Yeah. >> Crazy. >> So I never did. >> It's an honor. That's why
00:27:34
>> it's an honor. >> You would have done great. You would have done great. Standups do great. You
00:27:39
know these >> I was the last guy to do a Disney movie where they said it was an honor and
00:27:44
that's why I didn't get a lot of money. And then they came out with Shrek and
00:27:47
everyone got 5 million bucks. I go, "Wait, what is going on? >> What was the Disney movie you did?"
00:27:53
>> Uh, it's called Emperor's New Groove. I played a llama. >> Yeah. He got 18,000.
00:27:58
>> I'll send you a movie made a hundred billion. Uh, >> no. I got 75,000 which sounds
00:28:05
>> like a lot. It was a lot. >> That's not a lot. >> Not for a It was a big cartoon.
00:28:10
>> It took three cartoon. Those [ __ ] [ __ ] ripped you off. >> They rat [ __ ] me.

>> No, but you can say rat [ __ ] >> Drive me nuts. [ __ ] >> You can't say [ __ ] but you can
00:28:22
say rat [ __ ] >> No, I did. And it kept going and going and I'm like, guys, I don't want to
00:28:26
drive out to Disney every day and just lay down an hour or two of trucks. I'm
00:28:30
like Dennis Liry. I got [ __ ] to do on my day off. >> Yeah. >> And so they're like, it's just going to
00:28:34
be Now we redid the script. I'm doing scenes. I don't even know what's going
00:28:37
on. I love the movie now, but I was during it. I was starting to get a little itchy.
00:28:42
>> Like I don't know. >> New ending. >> It does. I mean, it did it. It was fine.
00:28:46
I really love it. But uh and then they they're miracle workers with the freaking animation. You did one. You did
00:28:54
Zanzibar. What was it called? >> As a matter of fact, I did two. I did Bug's Life. Uh,
00:28:59
>> that was a You played an aphid. >> What? >> I don't know.
00:29:04
>> What is that? >> You played an aphid. I'm trying to think of bug.
00:29:07
>> I played a ladybug. >> Is that Jerry Steinfeld's movie, too? >> Was that Jerry's movie?
00:29:12
>> That's an ant life. >> Oh. Oh, okay. >> Yeah. >> It was ripoff.
00:29:18
>> Jerry was bees. >> Oh, he was a bee. That's right. That's
00:29:21
right. Bugs are getting insect. So, what were your >> By the way, I should take this
00:29:25
opportunity since we brought it up. Ice Age 6 is coming out next year. >> There is not an Ice Age.
00:29:31
>> I'm [ __ ] swear to God. I swear to God. >> Ray Romano is gonna get another check.
00:29:38
>> No, that's Madagascar, I think. >> Oh, okay. >> No, that is Ice Age.
00:29:42
>> Ice Legazamo and >> Legazamo. >> Yeah. >> See that guy?
00:29:48
>> You don't have to go into numbers. Maybe it's rude, but >> you're a lion.
00:29:52
>> Did you get a bump? Did you get a bump for this one? We we got bumps for all of
00:29:57
them. So basically >> a bigger problem. >> They didn't they didn't know this, but I
00:30:02
guess they were discuss you know the problem is these movies and it's a plus.
00:30:06
It's not a problem. They're getting streamed like crazy. So So now they can
00:30:10
see the numbers of what's really streaming. So the Ice Age movies apparently
00:30:14
>> by adults and kids were getting streamed like crazy. >> Ray and I were making a TV show for
00:30:20
Netflix together at the time. This is like two years ago. um called No Good Deed. So, we were working together every
00:30:28
day. I was playing his brother and and we both came into work one morning in the makeup trailer and we're like, "Hey,
00:30:34
did your agent call you that?" I was like, "Yeah, my agent call me." They
00:30:37
didn't know that we were working together and they wanted to start negotiations with me and Ray and Leazamo
00:30:43
to see if we would be interested in doing it. >> Yeah. So, we did the right thing, which
00:30:47
was like we we basically all three of us said, "Hey, we need to see the script
00:30:51
and, you know, make sure it's not, you know, it's not just it's going to be
00:30:54
good, you know, >> play hard to get. >> Play hard to get. Plus, we need a lot of
00:30:58
money." >> So, um, it worked out. >> And did Netflix buy it off of what,
00:31:03
DreamWorks or whatever it was? >> No, I don't [ __ ] know who owns it now.
00:31:07
>> I know because you know there they do movies now where like Happy Gilmore,
00:31:11
they I think they bought it off of Sony. I mean, I don't know. >> Oh, did they really? H that the most
00:31:16
recent Happy Gilmore. >> Yeah, because they on Netflix and the first one was Sony.
00:31:20
>> Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. That [ __ ] thing is such a monster, man. Yeah. It's
00:31:26
a monster movie, right? >> So, yeah, of course they'd pay for it. Everybody saw it.
00:31:31
>> If they can Yeah, if they can do it, they go, "Oh, now there's a
00:31:34
breakthrough. We can buy movies we never had." >> Well, now they're doing they Sandler
00:31:39
signed with them pretty early about that stuff, which makes sense because >> Yeah.
00:31:42
>> I mean, right. By the way, how about [ __ ] the actor Sandler has turned
00:31:46
himself into? I mean, it's unfucking believable. >> Saf one. Uh, hidden. What was it? Gem.
00:31:53
>> Gems. >> Yeah. I mean, he's really turned himself into a great character actor. But at the
00:31:58
same time, he's going to make funny movies that [ __ ] the whole world sees. So, why wouldn't you want that guy
00:32:03
in your lineup? >> This goes back to the reality. There's no more movies anymore. It's all [ __ ]
00:32:09
stream. >> No, movies are movies don't really uh Yeah. I mean, just >> I don't know why they make anything
00:32:15
besides a cartoon or >> cartoon or a big action movie. That's it. >> Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:22
>> Well, the competition. I have a lowbudget movie and we're trying to
00:32:26
figure out what to do with it. And we're like, do you even want to try theaters?
00:32:30
Everyone seems like that sounds so fun, but I go, you don't want to get smoked
00:32:33
by the Avengers. I mean, you >> you're not going to get >> How would you compete with anything?
00:32:38
>> Yeah. You want to be streaming? More people will see your [ __ ] movie on a
00:32:42
Friday night than we'll see it if you ran it in the theaters for years. >> Fine. I mean, just romance of like, oh,
00:32:47
I'm in the theater. But I've had theaters and I've had streaming. Streaming,
00:32:51
>> it goes worldwide in one second. It's out. >> If you don't have the advertising
00:32:55
budget, then there's going to be three people in there. And there nothing will
00:33:00
any comedy will bomb. >> Blazing Saddles would have bombed. It was just two people.
00:33:05
>> Listen, who's going to go who's going to go to the theater? Who are they going to
00:33:07
go see? Tom Cruz, right? Still, apparently [ __ ] big Marvel movies, which are again, they're on the Wayne as
00:33:15
well. And then you get every once in a while you get that if Spielberg has a big movie, an action movie,
00:33:20
>> he's got one coming out somewhere. I'm going Yeah. >> Yeah. So, I mean, otherwise you might as
00:33:25
well be [ __ ] you know, streaming because that's >> I like the theater. And about five,
00:33:30
seven years ago is the first time I had walked out on some clankers. And I usually would just go for the whole fun
00:33:36
of going and then you buy all the [ __ ] and you sit in the back and you watch. I
00:33:41
just liked it all and then suddenly the movies were too shitty. I don't know
00:33:44
what happened at a certain point I go I can't do the whole two and a half hours
00:33:48
because sometimes they really rat [ __ ] you with a long movie. You go >> get in and out. You don't need
00:33:54
>> dude. What are you doing? 90 minutes for a comedy. Come on. Right. >> 80 80 and then you do the out takes for
00:34:00
10. >> What are we [ __ ] doing? It's two and a half hour movies. You know, very few
00:34:05
people can get away with that [ __ ] [ __ ] >> Paul Nolan will, you know, there certain
00:34:10
people you kind of go, I gotta see that. But it is I must have this problem, but
00:34:14
I watch movies at home >> and then my wife's got her phone and it's a a chain with her family ding, you
00:34:22
know, the dinner bell, you know, it's the death scene or whatever. They're
00:34:25
tap. So, >> I do like once in a while a dark theater. It's dead empty. I'm sitting in
00:34:32
the back. I turn everything off and it doesn't even matter as long as there's
00:34:36
some things moving around. It's meditative. It's like all the noise. Only in church or a movie theater do
00:34:43
they ask you or maybe even on takeoff I see people on their iPhone in a plane, you know? Yeah. So anyway, comment.
00:34:50
>> How about the [ __ ] thing? You're not allowed in my house if you're at my
00:34:54
house. This goes for my kids. Although my son and my daughter are pretty respectful because they're in the
00:35:00
business of of like they're not gonna watch a Scorsese movie on a [ __ ] iPhone.
00:35:04
>> How many How many times you been in an airport and see walk by some guy's
00:35:06
watching Good Fellas on an iPhone? >> Yeah. >> I mean, what are you f we're on their
00:35:10
[ __ ] iPad? Ah, [ __ ] >> apocalypse Now it's really good, man. >> There's a lot of helicopters.
00:35:18
>> Yeah. You're not [ __ ] You can't have your phone um you know going at the
00:35:23
>> Yeah. Like when I watch the Super Bowl, I watch the [ __ ] Super Bowl. You're not
00:35:29
talking about other [ __ ] around me while I'm watching the [ __ ] Super Bowl.
00:35:32
Okay. Even during the halftime show, you could maybe talk a little, but I'm I'm
00:35:36
watching the game. Okay. So, I'm not [ __ ] >> I totally agree. I don't want to Yeah.
00:35:41
be where a lot of people are talking about other topics. It's third and long.
00:35:45
This is, you know. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> The problem is I have so much football
00:35:48
knowledge. I sometimes bless the people with a couple things like, uh, the refs missed that one. when I say stuff like
00:35:54
that. >> Yeah. >> Everyone appreciates it. >> He's got yesterday.
00:36:01
>> What's that? >> Did you watch yesterday? >> Yeah. >> You mean you mean four months ago when
00:36:05
the Super Bowl was? >> We're releasing this episode in July, but it's the Super Bowl. And yes, we did
00:36:11
watch it. >> I saw it. >> I like Bad Bunny. I'm not a I don't I'm
00:36:16
not a Bad Bunny fan. I don't own any of his music, but I like the show. >> You like Bad Bunny and you can't
00:36:21
>> I did like Bad Bunny. >> Yeah. You know, >> it was theatrical. It was like
00:36:24
>> I was so tempted to go see how bad the [ __ ] um alternative show was with Kid
00:36:30
Rock and the three country stars nobody outside of [ __ ] Nashville's ever heard of
00:36:36
>> the country. >> I was like, "Who are these guys? I like some country music. Who the who the [ __ ]
00:36:41
are these guys?" >> I have to say, if you got a big show, get your biggest get Carrie Underwood in
00:36:47
there. Get Get somebody we've heard of. I >> agree. I have a piece of trivia that
00:36:52
Dana I shouldn't tell you about. >> I was just gonna pitch an alternative
00:36:54
Oscar >> live stream it. If you don't want to watch the Oscars, watch us three talking
00:37:00
about the movies. Go ahead. David, sorry. >> That Yeah, that's not a bad idea. After
00:37:04
the opening monologue, I'm only interested because I'm interested in the
00:37:08
comedian doing the monologue. Then I don't give a [ __ ] because >> you've seen all the movies that are
00:37:13
going to be up for Austin. >> You know, we've all been at these awards
00:37:16
show. you I think I was at the Emmys one year when you [ __ ] hosted like it takes forever even when you're there it
00:37:22
[ __ ] sucks right >> so an alternative broadcast is really [ __ ] funny like a [ __ ] Manning
00:37:30
cast of the Emmys and the Oscars where like the three of us are making comments about what's going on on the show
00:37:36
>> if you're allowed to do that anything where you can comment is genius because
00:37:39
that's all people do in the living room >> I think we have a [ __ ] idea here
00:37:43
>> it's possible >> doesn't have to be the three of us but three comedians
00:37:47
[ __ ] comment on the [ __ ] Golden Globes or the Emmys or the Oscars as they're happening.
00:37:53
>> That has got to have been done before. >> I don't know why they haven't done
00:37:56
because every living room. >> But >> I think the problem is licensing to show
00:38:02
a show. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> But if you I've looked into this a
00:38:05
little bit because that old mystery science theater I liked. >> Yes. >> And the reason why they did old shitty
00:38:10
movies is because that's the only one they could clear. >> Right. Right. So, I'm I'm losing you
00:38:15
guys with this showbiz lingo, but >> um clearing means how do I explain it?
00:38:21
Um anyway, so it would be really fun to do that. And uh I Here's my trivia about
00:38:28
the halftime show, Dana, which I'll tell you again >> this week on when we do our
00:38:32
>> I want to hear >> the bushes during Bad Bunny were people. >> Oh, really?
00:38:41
>> They were people in bush costumes. No, they weren't. >> And at the end, I saw a video of They're
00:38:46
all walking off. All the bushes are walking off. >> AI [ __ ] man. >> AI [ __ ]
00:38:52
>> I think it's real. >> Let's look it up. Heather, Greg, >> we'll save that for this week.
00:39:01
>> What I find I find really interesting is that >> that Spade and you I mean, how did that partnership
00:39:09
come about? I mean, I know the SNL connection, but whose idea was it? Which one of you said to the other, "Hey, what
00:39:16
if we did >> Well, I was having dinner with Dana once in a while in LA because Dana was a
00:39:25
favorite and a bud from the old days. Always the >> So, we started going to dinner at this
00:39:30
restaurant >> and he didn't live here. And then when he was I realized he was near me, I
00:39:33
said, "Hey, you want to go eat?" And he would come and we'd have a beer and
00:39:36
[ __ ] And we'd always get around to SNL stuff because we all know all our friends and [ __ ]
00:39:41
>> Yeah. Yeah. >> And I was in the I wanted to try a podcast a long time ago. I just couldn't
00:39:45
figure out someone to do it with. And uh somehow with Dana and I talking, of course, it would take Dana doing it, but
00:39:54
I would rather have someone like Dana than, you know, you get someone famous or you could do it with someone totally
00:40:01
unknown. It's like a sidekick that just and you just talk pretty much, >> right? But if Dana was good talker,
00:40:08
hysterical, and then we just said, well, maybe we should try something like this.
00:40:12
And that was the fun because you get someone that's a home run hitter here. >> Well, it was also in the treeline days
00:40:19
of like, you know, Conan came in and other people and Rogan became humongous and was like this podcasting thing is
00:40:26
like is, you know, because for a long time it's like, well, is there any money
00:40:30
in it? Because I did one without a company. It was just called fantastic available and it was just for fun and
00:40:36
David came on that and David was really fun >> to bounce off stuff with. >> Oh, that was sort of like a pilot
00:40:43

everything else is like I'll get to it next time. >> That's why Netflix wants live stuff
00:45:13
because they go live is really the best thing you can't >> Yeah. They [ __ ] paid a guy to climb a
00:45:16
building. >> Yeah. >> Not enough by the way. They didn't pay him enough.
00:45:21
>> We talked about that. It was >> I saw you guys talking about it. You
00:45:24
guys >> But okay, just because How does a guy not get a [ __ ] at least a million?
00:45:31
>> I was gonna kick in. I thought your idea was funny that you you guys were like,
00:45:35
I'll go up in the elevator, stand up on the 20 minutes to stand up there. >> 250 corporate gig. Give me a corporate
00:45:43
gig. >> I'll go close to the window and look out for five minutes. >> That's scary enough.
00:45:48
>> I'll go all the way up to the top. I'm not going to go outside, but I'll sing
00:45:52
the [ __ ] song in the top of the building. Come back down. 15 grand. >> 15k cash. No tax.
00:45:59
>> 15k. >> 15 in that. >> I'll take Go to the town. I'll look at
00:46:04
the steak through binoculars. >> Yeah. >> Say three hail Marys. >> Okay.
00:46:09
>> 50k net. >> You pay that guy, right? You pay him 400,000 to go to the climb to the top. I
00:46:17
will be across on another building outside but like with a railing and I will sing the [ __ ] song.
00:46:23
>> Yep. I'll go >> for the escalator cheesecake factory in Uggs.
00:46:30
They're not that grippy. always ends with I will sing the [ __ ] song. >> I know the [ __ ] song.
00:46:34
>> That's the only thing I have to offer. >> It's part of it. Yeah.
00:46:38
>> Without that, no deal. >> Anyway, this show because you're they're
00:46:41
going to ask you later. I mean, this show >> going Dutch. You're like this patent. I
00:46:46
I saw some of your stuff. You're like this military or army colonel goes to the Netherlands where there's this
00:46:51
outlier base and they're like goomer pile or it's dysfunctional and you got
00:46:56
to whip them into shape and it's filmed in Ireland. >> Yes. I was gonna say you go to the
00:47:00
Netherlands to a studio >> because you're Irish. >> No, no, no, no, no. The problem is
00:47:05
>> I know it's financial. >> So it's No, it's based on a real base.
00:47:09
They actually existed. So the showrunner is this guy Joel Church Cooper, brilliant writer. He did Brock Meer with
00:47:15
Hankazer, right? Oh yeah. So I was a huge fan of. So he ca he approached us about like wanted to work together and
00:47:22
it's like yeah. He said, "Listen, I know a guy that was stationed at this base,
00:47:26
this American base in the Netherlands, that the only reason it existed was to do the laundry for the other 32 NATO
00:47:35
bases in Europe and to deliver wine and cheese to each base." Right? >> That's funny.
00:47:41
>> But because it was in the Netherlands, you have to hire a certain amount of
00:47:46
Dutch citizens to work on the base. >> Prostitution is legal and drugs are
00:47:50
legal. So what ended up happening was of course is it became a den for you know for illegal drugs and and which you
00:48:00
can't blame him. So they shut the base down. This guy was was stationed there.
00:48:04
This adviser that we had. So we loved the idea. We didn't want to shoot anywhere near the Dutch government or
00:48:12
the American military base that had been shut down. So Ireland looks just like the Netherlands in terms of the land and
00:48:19
the the the color of the landscape and the weather. So and and Ireland has a thriving film and TV industry. Um so it
00:48:28
was a double plus for me because that's where my parents are from and that's I
00:48:32
have like 150 cousins there. So uh it was it was a blast for it's it's always
00:48:39
a blast to go back there because my cousins come and visit the set. My cousins like like walk on the set and
00:48:43
they're like, "Hey, I know the DP. I went to high school with him, you know."
00:48:46
So, it's like the country's small, you know. >> Um, >> and they gave us a military base for us
00:48:51
to shoot at. >> I mean, Rob Low told us that his his game show, The Floor.
00:48:56
>> Yeah. Shoots there. >> It shoots there. It It's still cheaper.
00:48:59
I think it's 700 people or whatever. I mean, it's hundreds of American citizens. They fly to Ireland, put them
00:49:05
up for months, and it's still exponentially cheaper than Hollywood. What's
00:49:10
>> is it because of all the strikes where everything's so expensive? >> No, it's because of all the union rules,
00:49:15
right? So, >> but it's also because everybody gives tax break. I mean, [ __ ] Boston gives
00:49:21
tax breaks. [ __ ] Atlanta, you know, >> why don't LA give tax break? Because I
00:49:28
we did both grown-ups movies in Boston. Oh, a couple people remember. Thank you.
00:49:32
>> Uh and so we went to [ __ ] >> Swampscott. >> Swampskit. Um, by the way,
00:49:39
>> I saw both Grown-Ups movies multiple times >> because I liked them and I knew a bunch
00:49:44
of you guys, so I was like, I'm gonna watch this. But then my kids were like,
00:49:47
"Oh, the the Adam Sandler, the Grown-Ups." >> Yeah, that's a fun one for families.
00:49:51
It's a good family movie, actually. how much things have changed that in the
00:49:55
first grown-ups the reviews and the way they used to our friend Adam again the way they would just [ __ ] on Adam Sandler
00:50:02
for so long >> and we all knew he was brilliant and he he's not trying to make Apocalypse now
00:50:08
he's making a family comedy I I sent him a text and go no this is a really really
00:50:12
great funny movie not that he needed it but >> he goes >> oh first of all this by the way [ __ ]
00:50:19
murderers row of people in both those movies are the cast right every single person because and I know it's Saturday
00:50:25
Night Live heavy, but who gives a [ __ ] Everybody's a [ __ ] killer who comes
00:50:30
into the into the cast. So, number one. Number two, they're [ __ ] funny movies. Number three, now he's it's the
00:50:36
last laugh is on them because >> he's turned into a great actor and he
00:50:40
can make big funny movies. >> Yeah. Yeah. He can he can do both. >> Yeah. I mean, I don't know if you guys
00:50:45
saw Jay Kelly, the movie with >> Yeah. >> Clooney where he's playing the manager.
00:50:50
Man, he's [ __ ] He's side by side with a true Hall of Fame movie star, a guy
00:50:56
that can do anything, right? >> And look, there's Sandler. >> I think they're finally coming around on
00:51:01
him. It's taken forever, but they're all finally like he was at the Santa Barbara
00:51:05
Film Festival this weekend. I'm like, yeah, >> finally. And it must be It's just I'm
00:51:09
sure he feels weird about it. Like, >> where were you guys? Like, you just
00:51:12
stepped on his neck for so long. >> There's a herd mentality. >> It's a herd mentality for sure.
00:51:18
>> You know, and it goes like that. How were your reviews throughout your time?
00:51:23
I've never seen one, so I don't know what were they pretty. >> They were they were um uh they were
00:51:30
great, I guess. Well, they were great for No Cure for Cancer. They were great um you know, when I for certain movies
00:51:35
like The Ref, which is still a great movie, >> but I did I had to learn how to act as I
00:51:42
first became famous because I was a theater actor and I didn't have a lot of
00:51:46
experience in front of the camera. Um, so I made, you know, I ba I made like The Sandlot, which was the first movie I
00:51:53
did, >> but I did that movie >> because I thought like, oh, >> I can, this is a different part for me
00:52:00
and I'll this will help me learn how to act on camera because it's very small in
00:52:04
terms of performance, >> uh, in terms of the size of the performance. And then I did like [ __ ]
00:52:10
because I had two kids. I, you know, I was, again, no credit cards when I first got famous and I had two babies. So I
00:52:16
was like I did Demolition Man with [ __ ] >> Stallone and Schneider Stallone.
00:52:25
>> I did I [ __ ] I You know what? He was the nicest [ __ ] guy. >> Oh yeah. He's old school. He would never
00:52:32
>> he was such a pro. >> You know I liked your your thing, you know, no cure for cancer. You know what
00:52:37
I'm talking about? He's [ __ ] He was such a [ __ ] mench. And he I've told
00:52:42
this story before, but like I was I'm fresh off the [ __ ] tree, right? >> Yeah.
00:52:47
>> And I I just did a tiny little baseball movie with a bunch of kids >> and um and I go to first day on on
00:52:55
Demolition Man to do the costume changes. >> And uh so they go, "You're going to go
00:53:00
into the I think it was Warner Brothers. You're going to go on the lot. They're
00:53:03
going to show you the outfits and everything and you're gonna meet Sly. He's going to be there." And I was like,
00:53:07
"Oh, great." So I go, and you know, it's all science fiction [ __ ] So they put me
00:53:11
in this [ __ ] metallic. >> Stupid as [ __ ] >> Yeah. And then they go, "Uh, hey, boom.
00:53:17
Slide slice here and he wants you to go up down the, you know, a couple stages down. He wants to say hi." So I'm walk
00:53:23

00:53:29
giant batting cage like off in the distance. And I was like, I wonder where they have a batting cage. Well, now I'm
00:53:34
walking and I turn this corner with this [ __ ] PA and he's like, "Yeah, he's
00:53:38
right here." >> And it's a giant [ __ ] um net for driving golf balls and Stallone is in
00:53:45
his demolition man outfit with the boots and everything >> and there's a ballro guy dressed like a
00:53:50

00:55:11
penalties written into their contract. Again, this is my first like big Hollywood paycheck.
00:55:16
>> And they go, "Sly, [ __ ] he was hitting golf balls so hard. He busted a
00:55:20
[ __ ] um >> always break his arm." And and we're so we're taking three weeks off, but you're
00:55:27
gonna get paid. And I was like, "Fuck, that's awesome. >> Love it."
00:55:32
>> A three-week vacation where I [ __ ] got paid because Stallone was trying to
00:55:36
kill the golf ball. >> You're not even supposed to be doing anything when you're doing

00:56:27
with the original wife, you know, so the before wife. >> So are you, right?
00:56:33
>> Yeah. And so there's a given time where it's like, you know, you're having
00:56:37
success and you're starting to make money, like real money, and you're sort
00:56:40
of like, I guess we're kind of rich now. you you weren't rich, but in relative
00:56:45
terms, I don't know when that happened for you where you've went, we're making
00:56:49
a lot of money right now. It's kind of a heady thing that happens to people get
00:56:53
successful in show business. >> What was the first? >> Well, that was right around that period
00:56:59
because it went some from zero to 60 so quick, right? I did that Sandlot movie. >> Um the you know, uh
00:57:10
>> So, you got paid for that? got well I got paid for that but then because of
00:57:14
the rushes there was there was a good word of mouth on that movie. They like the dailies and previews.
00:57:21
>> So now they know I can act. So they're like, you know, [ __ ] Jeffrey Kzenberg
00:57:25
was running um uh all those branches of Disney movies at the time, Touchstone, all those. So he was like, we had this
00:57:34
script called The Ref, which was written by a friend of mine, Richard Lradies, who had already been nominated for an
00:57:39
Oscar for that Robin Williams movie, The Fisher King. >> Okay. So it was a Oscar nominated
00:57:45
writer, Ted Demi, one of my best friends who was >> buddies. Yeah. >> Yeah. He did my TV spots. So we had we
00:57:53
had that script. So not only did they want us to make that movie, but they gave me and Ted deals, like free picture
00:58:01
deals. >> Oh. Oh. Oh. >> Automatically there's just a ton of money. And then I'm doing like [ __ ]
00:58:07
Demolition Man, Judgement Night, you know, all these big movies. So like we had a lot of money all of a sudden from
00:58:13
having nothing. >> Um. >> Right. Yeah. How it happens. >> Yeah. So and it was great and I was
00:58:19
learning how to to act as I went along. So I'm like this is I knew I wanted to
00:58:22
be like a character actor because that had longevity because I knew the standup you can always do right.
00:58:27
>> Yeah. You can always go back to it. >> Yeah. Exactly. So um and I was [ __ ]
00:58:32
getting to work with like you know you guys know that it's like you're working
00:58:35
with your heroes. >> Yeah. >> So fun. >> Or meeting them for sure.
