00:00:00
But I'll never forget as David walked up with the mater um David was saying this place is bigger
00:00:08
than chilies. [laughter] >> It was It was like five chilies to taped together. >> And this kid [music] working in the
00:00:16
airport said, "Hey man, when are you going to make a comeback?" >> Oh, yeah. Come back.
00:00:23
>> And I said, "Well, I you know, you're already really down because you just missed a fight." And I said, "Well, I I
00:00:30
got to get back to LA to get this comeback started." [laughter] So, >> probably going to be at least at least
00:00:36
two days before I start the old comeback. Asking Dana like like he was an anthropologist [music] about married
00:00:43
life, you know. [laughter] >> Dana, I was like an exotic insect. He was trying to understand, you know, 43
00:00:53
years. You're telling me that when you walk in the door and it's the [music] same woman, you don't want to.
00:01:01
>> Yeah. What do you do then? >> We have Luke Wilson. >> Luke Wilson. >> Friend of the show for real.
00:01:12
>> His first time. >> Yes, he has been on the show. He listens to the show >> and he said, "Let's do it again. Let's
00:01:19
run it back." Uh he's on his show Hawk on Netflix. uh with Fortune, Molly Shannon, a lot of people we know um Will
00:01:27
Frell obviously uh >> and looking forward to that. And of course, we have a we have a nice chitter
00:01:34
chat with him and we hear all about what it's like to get stuck in an elevator. [laughter]
00:01:40
>> It goes a lot of places and there's some unexpected twists and turns in this episode. I'll leave it at that.
00:01:47
>> Don't worry, we definitely interrupt him. We definitely interrupt him, but he's
00:01:52
definitely in our Hall of Fame, officially in the Hall of Fame of Favorite. We have a lot of favorite
00:01:58
guests, and he is he's uh a charming chap with a great sense of humor and tells great stories.
00:02:06
>> So, here he is, Luke Wilson. >> Luke, the first big question. Let's go out the [ __ ]
00:02:14
>> First of all, I I have I was going to start with the question. So, I feel like
00:02:18
this is like a political debate where you're jumping the gun on me, but go ahead.
00:02:22
>> No, I've been like, we love questions. Not since William Shatner have we been
00:02:27
asked the question. >> I know. I know that. And my first question was, [laughter] and I have a
00:02:32
lot. >> Yes. Okay. >> The first question was, Dana, Dana, since you won't tell us the town, the
00:02:40
name of the town that you live in, will you at least tell us the names of your horses?
00:02:45
>> [laughter] >> I'm like just as I listen to the show I'm like I like how Dana is kind of
00:02:50
evasive each time he says where he lives north of Santa Barbara hermit kingdom >> central central central
00:03:00
>> central California coast I'm like >> yeah I've heard >> what are the names of your horse is the
00:03:07
moma and uh >> Rojo >> these are like Jiminy Glick questions what are the names of your horses.
00:03:16
>> What is the name? >> You fancy yourself a cowboy. >> What are they? Excuse me.
00:03:20
>> Mrosa and Rojo. >> They're gray and red kind of. But yeah, I I >> could we I mean, you don't have to
00:03:31
answer any questions I asked, but could you tell us your personal address where you live in LA? Would you give me your
00:03:39
pin? Will you at least give us your pin number since you >> at least give us your fourdigit code?
00:03:45
[laughter] >> Hey man, I know I'm uh >> east of west of Fresno. I'm east of Galleta.
00:03:58
>> No idea where any of these places. >> Look, we don't have crime here. So, we don't lock our doors ever. So, that's
00:04:04
all you need to know. >> [snorts] >> Okay, [clears throat] >> fair enough. >> I guess I guess Dave, we won't be
00:04:11
getting invited up there anytime soon because we couldn't get there. >> He goes, "Go to Santa Barbara and then
00:04:17
I'll come get you." >> You guys are both invited because we have 2600 people are going to listen to
00:04:26
this. So, I want to make sure that they don't, you know, barge up here. But that
00:04:31
no one's ever asked me that question. So, thank you for the question. Well, I I could sense just in different
00:04:37
shows I'm like, "Huh, this guy doesn't want us to know the town that he lives in."
00:04:44
>> Okay, that's interesting. [laughter] And you know, as of [laughter] >> I'm unintentionally
00:04:53
mysterious to people. I'm unintentionally mysterious. I I don't know why. >> Sexiness.
00:05:00
>> It's a little Howard It's a little Howard Hughesian. And I and I love Howard Hughes, but I hear someone I want
00:05:05
to know a lot about. So I guess >> that was it. >> You ask him a question, he dances. Okay,
00:05:11
he has another question. Go ahead. >> Well, I was just This This is more of just a statement. In the last in the
00:05:18
last couple of weeks, I've been going around saying a couple of things. One of which is Judy Garland never owned a car.
00:05:26
[laughter] >> That's a great one. which was what you what you were saying >> a director
00:05:34
>> from the great Nathan >> wasn't Nathan Lane funny >> these are the Mickey >> it was so great I mean you guys have had
00:05:44
so many great episodes and to me some it's it's some of the great ones are when it's just you two guys talking and
00:05:52
but that Nathan Lane was so funny and the fact that >> the fact that Dana and and and Nathan's
00:05:59
stories linked up perfectly. It was not like >> Yeah. And you know that the the the
00:06:06
Barbara man Barbara Mandrrell Barbara Mandrel [laughter] >> and Nath and Nathan Lane saying it that
00:06:15
he kept repeating it as if it was an incantation. >> Yes. Um, [laughter] and then then then of course just, you
00:06:22
know, you'd talked about Mickey Rooney before and that great line of saying from 1937
00:06:28
to 1944 [laughter] I was the biggest star in the world. Pow. >> Number one star in the world. You hear
00:06:36
me? Bang. >> The world. And these are direct. And so Nathan I hadn't seen in a long time. I
00:06:43
felt like we were literally I stepped back to 1981 in New York with him and we and so we co-signed these memories that
00:06:51
I told these stories and thought maybe I was a little exaggerating. Nope, it was
00:06:54
spot on. The only thing I did disagree with I thought the woman on the cover of the magazine I thought it was Farrah
00:07:01
Faucet but he remembers Barbara Mandrel which is funnier if it's funny. Yeah. >> [laughter]
00:07:09
>> And you can picture her in 1981 being on the cover of People. And the other great
00:07:14
one was >> Mickey throwing his arm around around Nathan saying, "You know what I like?
00:07:20
You know what's great about us? We like girls." [laughter] >> I'm just glad we like girls. These are
00:07:27
direct quotes for word. I didn't even do that. You've heard my Scatman Car stories. He was another one that we
00:07:33
didn't get to, but yeah. Right. >> He goes, "Dana's a little like, you know, [laughter]
00:07:40
>> and Dana is saying like, yeah, back then, you know, he had kind of a floppy haircut and like sometimes would do
00:07:46
these imitations where somehow these guys thought that Yeah. Um, like it's [laughter] so funny like I think we
00:07:53
talked when I was last on about how, you know, how fun it is to have work work worked with those older guys. But then
00:08:01
Mickey Rooney, that's kind of behind the generation that I ever got to work with.
00:08:05
And you got to work with Bert Lancaster and Scatman Kthers. I mean, that's a whole other story.
00:08:11
>> And Kirk Douglas. Yeah, Kirk Douglas and Bert. I know. It's kind of weird. Well,
00:08:16
since this is about you, I mean, I'm trying to just ascertain the where you've crosscheed
00:08:23
older actors and you're working with them and going, "Holy [ __ ] I'm working with X, Y, and Z," as they say. You must
00:08:30
you must have all those stories. You have such a long resume. >> Oh, for sure. And I mean, those are my
00:08:36
the kind of the really along with working with people from SNL, which I've always loved. It's getting the chance to
00:08:43
work with those kind of I'm I I always look at them as like 1970s actors even though some of them got started kind of
00:08:50
well before that but you know like Jean Hackman or >> Yeah. orick or Nick Noly or Martin Sheen
00:08:56
and those guys are just so great and like Mickey Rooney their stories somehow are just unbelievable.
00:09:04
>> Yeah. >> Or not unbelievable they're very believable but you can't believe how
00:09:07
great they are >> but they're referencing all these cool things you remember. It's really cool
00:09:11
that you got to work >> Nick from that generation. [laughter] >> Jesus, Richie. >> Well, and also on SNL we had,
00:09:21
>> sorry, it was just we had Robert Mitchum and we had Charlton H as a as a host and
00:09:26
that was very interesting on SNL hanging out with those guys. >> Yeah. >> Right. How how how was Ro how was Robert
00:09:34
Mitchum as a host? >> You mean Bob? >> Bob. Yeah. guy. >> He had the classic uh Jack Daniels
00:09:43
bottle, like a half gallon of Jack Daniels >> and uh >> right >> he was just stories about Vietnam and
00:09:51
politics and weirdness and we were in a Jack Handy sketch if you know the reference. Sometimes they're very
00:09:57
esoteric and brilliant. We were playing beekeepers in the Himalaya mountains and
00:10:02
we're dressed in the outfit and neither of us ever really knew what the sketch was about [laughter]
00:10:08
>> but he was he was old school. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I remember ask I I knew I knew
00:10:14
Harry Dean Stanton the great character actor and I knew Harry Dean knew Robert Mitchum and I said what was I asked
00:10:21
Harry Dean I said what was Robert Mitchum like? He said great guy always stoned. Oh, [laughter] really?
00:10:28
>> That's how I would describe Mitchell. >> And And yeah, he liked his his Jack, but
00:10:35
Harry Dean, he liked a couple cocktails, right? I mean, that was old school back
00:10:40
then. They had they had a bar on every set. >> Everyone was drunk. >> He was a he was a Dantana's fixture,
00:10:47
Harry Dean. >> Oh, yeah. Um I I I remember being in on a plane with Harry Dean and this would
00:10:53
have been like 2001 and he asked the the uh the steartist you know can I smoke on the plane? She
00:11:02
said uh no you you may not. And then he said even in the bathroom. Um so yeah those [laughter] guys were from another
00:11:11
era. Here's trivia, Luke, that I the first girl that dated me in LA when I moved out here,
00:11:19
>> wound up with Harry Dean Stant. >> Really? >> Not not Rebecca D. >> Uh >> oh. From Risky Business.
00:11:30
>> They were they were friends and Dean. Oh, I didn't I thought they were an item, but really?
00:11:36
>> No, it might have been them, but that was it was it was um >> sort of probably in the middle because
00:11:42
I'm older. I'm not older than him. That's the only person I'm not older. >> What What What was your What was your
00:11:48
What was your first year in LA, David? And and and was it before SNL? >> Yeah, it was back a ways. I'm Dana now.
00:11:58
>> It was just back then, you know. >> Yeah. [laughter] What what clubs did you play?
00:12:04
>> They should call this the the evasive hour with Dana and David. [laughter] >> No, they call us the vag.
00:12:13
[laughter] >> When we aren't recording, this will drive the audience crazy. I'm going to
00:12:17
tell you everything. >> I wanted to know if Luke has ever been called puke when he was a kid.
00:12:25
>> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. >> Luke the puke. Yeah. >> Were you around for Luke Skywalker or
00:12:30
was it you missed that? Oh, those were two two big ones. >> Top two answers on the board.
00:12:36
>> Puke [laughter] and Oh, and you know, and my my friends called me puke. And I
00:12:40
had another friend, um, Joey Joey, who called me sluke because his his his family said when I called the house, I'd
00:12:51
say, "May I speak to Joey?" This sluke. So, >> oh, this is the Sluke. Yeah. >> All right. I would have called you
00:12:59
Lucle. Oh, Luca. >> What about Lucia? >> I Yeah, it's funny. Luca Pleia and I'd never seen that movie. And then in like,
00:13:09
you know, you know, like 8th grade, people started saying Luca Pakia and I didn't get [laughter] that.
00:13:16
>> I was called Lucas because I was such a little puss and I went out for football
00:13:22
>> and I was fragile and I couldn't get the girls. I'm like, [ __ ] put me in that
00:13:26
movie. Lucas was a great movie. a football I'm sure was rather intense like kind of Texas football.
00:13:32
>> Arizona. Yeah. >> People don't know, we must talk about last time, but you have an enormous uh
00:13:37
V2 max gift which is unusual. When you told me your 880 time, >> I was like, damn, that's national class.
00:13:47
V2 max is, you know, this. Uh, so that's interesting. I What I'm curious about with someone like you because Luke is an
00:13:54
alpha male name like a stud, right? So, in high school, neither David and I, >> we could not really get girls. Were you
00:14:02
popular in high school or were you a late bloomer? >> Yes. Yes. >> I um Well, I went to this school that I
00:14:09
went to this No, I went to this school that was very academically oriented. No, it wasn't military school. Owen went to
00:14:17
a military school, >> but I went to a a boy's school that was very academically oriented. and I did
00:14:25
not have good grades. academic things were more kind of oriented towards honor role and you know this guy was already
00:14:34
had a scholarship to Princeton and but I I did have I I I had a really nice class
00:14:40
and I really liked everybody and got along with everybody and so I I you know it's like when you say popular you think
00:14:49
of like the uh the homecoming king but I I I just feel like I had a nice class where I got along with people and not
00:14:55
that you know you never had differences with guys, but um yeah. Um >> well, Kevin Kevin graduated high school.
00:15:06
>> Graduated high school at 51, then went to 61. How tall were you when you graduated high school? [laughter] You
00:15:12
don't have to answer these questions. >> Um no, no. I I I this is great. Um I I think probably that I think I was about
00:15:22
the same height I am now. about, you know, 511 or or six feet. And then I'm always trying to figure out I think I
00:15:30
think I kind of weighed more in high school almost. I feel like I weighed like 17. I mean, I weigh that up. Yeah.
00:15:37
I feel like I was maybe kind of bigger in high school. >> Yeah, you kind of ballooned up lately
00:15:42
>> for a half mile runner. >> Um, >> yeah. He's been with [ __ ] Schwarzen for the last month.
00:15:49
>> Yeah. Oh my god. >> How embarrassing. Oh, I feel bad for him. He the, you know, a few, and I only say this because
00:15:57
he was so public about it, but about, you know, six, six days into the movie, he went down with his appendix,
00:16:04
>> which is hard enough. And we were in, you know, Louisville, Kentucky, but he was outside of Louisville.
00:16:10
>> Are there any doctors in that city or No, >> he was he was not in even [snorts] in
00:16:15
Louisville. I don't think he was kind of out more kind of in a rural area. [laughter] Um, wow. But then but he he
00:16:22
got he he his appendix went and of course he was staying in you know like a you know a an extended stay suite so not
00:16:31
where you want to conileles but his appendix he that he got hit with that had to get operated on for that then he
00:16:38
got an infection and of course he was making these uh Instagram videos. >> Yeah.
00:16:44
>> All about the illness >> but but we did get the movie done and we had a good time and Yeah. And he was I
00:16:50
mean to me I I I only know him from having done >> the ridiculous six with Adam Sandler and
00:16:57
I just [laughter] that was when I first that was when I first >> and he was just
00:17:05
>> I know I know what do he writing jokes on it >> uh he was there for the yeah he was
00:17:13
there for the >> very good played a part >> video village and cranking out jokes.
00:17:19
Yeah. And uh which which he did. And then I I had never been around him and just he was such he's such a good guy
00:17:25
and such a funny guy. >> Yeah. >> So it was funny to to do this movie. We just did mini wars together because he
00:17:34
is God. He he's a character and he was playing a real character. >> I saw him with his watermelon head on
00:17:41
Instagram and I couldn't help but [ __ ] all over him. Every time he posted something, I had no sympathy at all and
00:17:46
I just make fun of him immediately. [laughter] >> I know. It's so At one point I said to
00:17:52
one of the producers, I said, "Should he be posting these videos kind of possibly
00:17:57
on his deathbed?" >> Yeah. [laughter] >> Is this kind of Are we Aren't we kind of
00:18:02
like a football team where you don't want to be posting about like I've got [laughter] this, you know, ter where
00:18:08
where your where your kicker has just had knee surgery. >> [laughter] >> Um but yeah
00:18:15
um yeah I started I thought gosh am I am I starting to now think like a producer
00:18:20
but should he really be doing this? Is this or is this just how the younger generation does it where nothing is
00:18:26
nothing is secret? >> Everything is shared. >> Hey before we jump back into the show
00:18:34

00:19:29
Snapple. Make your break more interesting. Running a business means wearing a lot of hats. But I used to

He's like, he even knew we were doing this. I'm like, "Holy [ __ ] man." Luke, >> I know.
00:21:04
>> Oh, and he knew that we went he went to dinner with us when we went to dinner.

What was that place called? Go. >> Uh Oh, yeah. Jot Garcia. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Jot Garcia in Fort Worth where I'll
00:21:14
never forget you. It's this Mexican restaurant that started in a little house and then just over the years kept
00:21:21
expanding and expanding and expanding to where it takes up a whole block and it goes through kind of an outdoor area
00:21:28
then into another building and through a dining room. But but I'll never forget as David walked up with the Mater D um
00:21:36
David was saying this place is bigger than chili. [laughter] It was It was like five chilis to taped
00:21:44
together. [clears throat] And I went they had Luke. They go, "We'll take care of you guys." They put us like in a barn
00:21:51
a 100 yards away from the restaurant. I go, "I don't think no one's working in this place." They they just sent a guy
00:21:57
in and sent a bartender in there for us. We're like, >> I kind of want to get a feel for the
00:22:01
whole place. >> I know. It's like that thing where I'm sure you guys have had it happen before
00:22:06
where this oh we'll put you in a special room and it's and they lead you to a room where it's just you and your two
00:22:11
friends be like well we we would like to kind of be maybe out in the bar sequester where
00:22:20
>> you know why because we're not going to get we're not going to get mob we're not
00:22:25
going to get >> mob beat up mobbed attacked they had someone from like Real Housewives of New
00:22:32
Jersey that went there and said, "I need my own special room." So, they're like,
00:22:35
"I guess we I guess that's what these people want. They want that shit." And uh it is fun to go to a place like that
00:22:41
cuz you want to see what the vibe is and get in there and mix it up. And uh >> Oh, yeah. And especially like Fort Worth
00:22:47
is a great town and uh that that is a that's my favorite, you know, Mexican food in in Texas pretty much. This is
00:22:56
usually the point in the show when when the guest asks you guys, "So, so when does the show start?"
00:23:03
>> Always like [laughter] when that happens, you like, "No, no, no, buddy. You're
00:23:08
>> We don't This is good as it gets, pal. I mean, this is it." [laughter] >> Speak. Speaking of the show, I had this
00:23:15
I had a funny thing happen where I guess you guys will tell me if it's funny or not. It was funny to me.
00:23:21
>> Let's hear it. But I I was down in San Diego and I was I was at this gym and I'd stopped using those earbuds
00:23:30
because I felt like they were kind of giving me tonitis. >> And at the at the you know gym I'll go
00:23:35
to in LA, I just play it off my phone with no earbuds because you know there's they have music bla terrible music
00:23:42
blasting everyone everyone else has on earbuds. So I Yeah, exactly. So So I just listen to it. No one ever says
00:23:50
anything. I just have it on loud and I'll be, you know, on the elliptical. But I'm down in this gym in San Diego
00:23:57
where it was kind of older people, older than me. And, you know, same thing. I had it playing, you know, just off my
00:24:06
phone with no earbuds. And finally this older guy next to me was like, "Would you turn that off?" I was listening to
00:24:13
you guys. That's what I'm [laughter] >> And he said, "Would you turn that off? >> [ __ ] off." And I said I said, "Oh my
00:24:22
gosh." I said, "I'm really sorry. I didn't realize you could hear." It's like, "I could hear it." He said, "Would
00:24:27
you turn that off?" >> Okay. >> I said, "I'm really sorry." And then he said, "It's obnoxious." And I wanted to
00:24:34
say, "Me doing that or the guy's on the show?" Um, [laughter] >> I know it's odd.
00:24:41
>> Good question. I can't believe it would say that to you. It's so out of character.
00:24:47
>> Goes to your gym. Turn it off. >> Is this the one where they make fun of me? [laughter]
00:24:54
>> You guys are always using that line he says where like jealous >> jealous >> jealous.
00:25:01
No. I saw him the other night for dinner and he was so funny. He goes, >> "Oh, I the bill came." He goes,
00:25:08
>> "I got it." And then he goes, >> "My wallet. I just wanted to make sure I had it."
00:25:15
>> No, he does a whole Man, he knows what he's doing. >> No, he said he'll split it with He
00:25:22
splits it sometime. I like playing. >> John's just eccentric. He I took one day to know him and 20 years to believe it.
00:25:30
[laughter] >> He is great. He's another one of my SNL favorites. >> He is always funny.
00:25:36
>> Oh, no. He is a monster in the paint if you know the reference. John John Love
00:25:40
it. N8H was a laugh machine. I just saw him, you know, I was clicking through channels
00:25:48
and saw him on an episode of Seinfeld where he was really funny. >> He's [snorts] funny on everything. Every
00:25:53
time he shows up, he's funny. >> He really is. >> Excuse me. >> And and he is one of those guys that he,
00:25:59
you know, he doesn't appear to be exerting any effort, but you know, if someone's not funny, they they
00:26:05
>> they're very sharp witted and kind of uh, you know, have ideas. I have a question when we're done talking about
00:26:12
love its but um [laughter] which I do like to hear. Uh when do you have any any of your movies I can think of tannon
00:26:20
bombs where it's like a Halloween costume because I see some tannon bombs. Right.
00:26:25
>> Right. >> It's kind of cool to see that. >> That's that's the primary one it seems.
00:26:32
Yeah. That's that's an every year I get pictures from different >> I like that. Don't you think it's cool?
00:26:38
And now now pictures from you know people that are you know weren't even born when it was out but they'll they'll
00:26:44
have the Richie Tenon bomb character which is my character and then the Gwyneth Paltro [clears throat]
00:26:50
Mark Tenon bomb character but yeah what I mean I'm sure there's some Joe Dirts that's got to be a popular
00:26:57
>> Joe Dirt is actually I want to be more flattered but it's pretty easy. It's like people go really lowfi. It's like
00:27:04
last minute. I have jeans, work boots, flannel shirt, maybe cut the sleeves off. And then
00:27:11
>> some don't even put on a shitty mullet. They put on a like a messy they mess up
00:27:15
their hair. I go, "No, you're not winning any contest." And they love hearing that [laughter]
00:27:22
>> because the the the tent the the tenon bomb one is, you know, I'm always thinking, God, where did you get a camel
00:27:28
hair suit and like this, you know, vintage vintage Fela, you know, shirt and headband?
00:27:35
>> So definitely always >> always impressed by the effort that goes into it. Dana, do you have a a Halloween
00:27:43
character that gets >> Oh, it would just it would just be G. any any high school girl with long
00:27:49
blonde hair does the glasses the flannel goes like this and you know >> yeah it's it's very cute it's very sweet
00:27:58
>> yeah David and I were playing this giant 5,000 seat casino and go let's do Q&A so
00:28:04
we come out and they're already you know the casino it's pretty rockous in there
00:28:08
on the left there was a teenage girl dressed as gar jumping down screaming I love you I love you I go let's go to the
00:28:15
other side of the stage There was another teenage girl and then there was a Joe Dirt in there too, I think. And we
00:28:21
made them kids >> and and a tan bomb. They go, "Dad, do you know do you know Luke Wilson
00:28:29
[laughter] is >> I uh I really want to I want to I really want to see you guys live.
00:28:35
Um, >> so I'm gonna >> And by the way, your your travel stuff, you guys always kid around that you talk
00:28:42
too much about the travel stuff, but >> I think to anybody that has to travel for work, it's
00:28:48
>> it's very appealing to listen to someone else's travel. >> We give you We give you the lows, not
00:28:54
the highs. We give you the lows. >> Exactly. Whether it's the the the plane or the room. I just had a classic one
00:29:01
where I they they wouldn't give me a key to my room after I'd been up and down and up and down and I said, "Oh, you're
00:29:07
you're you're you know, and I didn't have any ID. Um, and I said, "Oh, oh, you're going to give me a key. We're
00:29:14
[laughter] gonna work." >> Oh, you're going full Luke on them, huh? Do >> you ever try to scam the maids into
00:29:20
doing it? You go >> when you're in Oh, yeah. That's >> I I stand by when they're there.
00:29:26
>> It works. >> I know. I'm I always say I can describe exactly what's inside the room. You're
00:29:31
going to see a green backpack and you're going to see a pair of pants hanging over the shirt when you walk in.
00:29:37
[laughter] >> They go, "Luke, do you want Mr. Wilson, you want me to get those towels off the
00:29:42
ceiling?" >> What accent is that? >> Well, most [laughter] >> No. If you so people know, if you're in
00:29:49
the MGM Grand, >> you you do your show, you have to walk kind of like a half mile to your room
00:29:55
and then it goes and it doesn't work. >> Worst and you're like, >> really? >> That's what I'm saying.
00:30:01
>> Yeah. >> It's the walk that gets you. Um >> Yeah. >> They're like, "Go down to the ferris
00:30:07
wheel, take a right, then it's about you're going to pass four bars, >> and then you're going to get on a Lady
00:30:13
Susan. Then >> I don't like to fly, but the last time I came into Santa Barbara, it was a hard
00:30:20
landing. I don't I have no fear when we're about to land. I just don't like to take off. But the flight attendants
00:30:26
both basically screamed. I was in the pointy part of the airplane and they were sitting there. I WAS LIKE, BAM.
00:30:32
AND I got to be the cool guy for once. What? >> Hey, you okay? You okay? >> You all right? Calm down. I'm more like
00:30:38
on the takeoff. When they get scared, when those flight attendants get scared, they pick up the
00:30:45
phone and go, "What the [ __ ] is going on?" That's when I get scared because I go, they they've seen it all.
00:30:51
>> No, that's where I listen and I hear, "Really? That bad? Okay, we we'll clear
00:30:56
the set." Yeah. I I get anticipatory. >> When you hear that drink cart just rattling, it can be a little scary. They
00:31:04
[laughter] go like this. Look, they go, "Yeah." They go, "A terrorist on this flight?" Then they go,
00:31:12
>> "Okay." And I'm like, "You shouldn't have said that so loud. I'm sitting close."
00:31:17
>> On this flight. >> Yeah. I had a friend who was so afraid of that. We got on a plane and then
00:31:22
there were empty seats and then 10 Middle Eastern men sat down and started going and I go, "It's too obvious. Just
00:31:30
relax. It's way too obvious. Nothing's going to happen." But he was absolutely This was after 9/11. Folks, don't write
00:31:36
me any letters. Please. >> No letters. Please >> don't let me do the metaphorical.
00:31:41
Anyway, >> I just tried to film a fight out in the street. I was walking along. >> Mhm.
00:31:46
>> And it was [ __ ] boiling out and I'm like going through my day and my I got this Luke [ __ ] I got to do. Just kind of
00:31:53
going through my head, you know, [laughter] >> the sloop [ __ ] >> And uh our favorite reoccurring
00:32:00
>> our favorite guy. I know. and I finally excited about doing it once and then I'm
00:32:04
I go and then I see this African-American kind of black guy and he's walking by and there's
00:32:08
>> kind of black guy >> there's a well he's he's there's a Mexican guy and they're already arguing
00:32:14
so [laughter] I go >> it's 2026 he's digging >> I go should I film these guys fighting
00:32:20
because then I can get on Tik Tok and be a big hero you know >> because I always see fights everything I
00:32:25
see on my Tik Tok is just fighting >> so I start filming then the dude looks at me and I
00:32:32
H >> I don't know what to do. So I I walk away. Then he runs and punches the dude
00:32:37
and then throws him on the ground >> and the guy gets up and throws him at him. And I'm like, should have filmed
00:32:42
it. But anyway, then I walk down blah blah blah. >> And then I guess I'm almost to my car.
00:32:47
He's walking this way. He comes right at me. And I was like, cuz I know I'm the little rat that was filming him and I
00:32:52
have the evidence, >> right? >> And this Monday >> on the way here. Yeah. Are you kidding? Yeah, that's like
00:33:01
>> I know. I swear. Yeah. And then I was like, "Oh no, this if this happens, the
00:33:05
worst thing will happen. Luke will be sitting waiting to get on the Zoom like that,
00:33:09
>> right?" On Instagram, some somehow I'll get those videos of guys >> on golf courses getting in fights.
00:33:19
It must be It must be a sign of getting older because I do not like to watch them.
00:33:24
>> No, it's it's really rough because you know someone day is ruined. Well, you'll
00:33:28
see a guy with his shirt off being alpha alpha, right? Like he beats up everyone
00:33:32
in his life. And then some guy who just knows how to box coco him, knocks him flat in front of his wife. First she's
00:33:39
like, "Oh, go get him, you sexy beast." And then she's like, "You're not so tough, right?
00:33:44
>> It's kind of sad, >> right? >> The only good one." >> Or it'll be guys that are, you know, in
00:33:49
their 70s. You're like, gosh, this is just you think that you hopefully you'd get to that point and not want to be
00:33:56
throw down. always be getting in fights. There was one guy that was saying, >> "I don't fight."
00:34:01
>> Screaming at the other guy and then finally >> and the guy was kind of big. He was
00:34:05
screaming at >> and then he took off his shirt. He's like, "Let's go. Let's go. Let's go."
00:34:09
>> I saw that one. >> And then he [ __ ] threw him down. And then the guy came at him again. He beat
00:34:14
the [ __ ] And he finds out the guy's a hockey enforcer. >> He's a real hockey player that beats
00:34:19
guys up. >> He threw him around like a ragd doll. And the guy kept coming back and I'm
00:34:23
like, >> "Do you have CT? Why do you keep coming back to get beat up again? Now you have
00:34:27
you're out you're out of gas and you still got to go, come on, you [ __ ] [ __ ] Then again, wham.
00:34:35
>> Yeah, that's like whenever you see those [clears throat] flyweight boxers and you
00:34:39
think, okay, if you put kind of like an oversized t-shirt on one of these guys, they might just look like a little guy.
00:34:45
But I do feel like I have a a good radar for someone that's just kind of a badass
00:34:50
that you'd never ears. What does your YouTube feed you, Luke, at night and you're just like, I'll go some YouTube
00:34:57
clips. It starts feeding you. Obviously, golf golfers getting beat up. What's in
00:35:01
your rotation? >> I'm I'm [laughter] I'm [snorts] always shocked by how on the money it is or
00:35:09
something I haven't thought of that I'm like, gosh, I cannot wait to watch this.
00:35:13
A lot of it will be, you know, um I got into a real like John Houston interviews
00:35:21
phase and then also I like like like Mitchum on Dick Cavitt kind of things. Get a lot of like you know rock
00:35:31
>> get a lot of rock and roll. Um >> I do get old clips from like midnight special of bands.
00:35:37
>> Those are great. and the Don Kersner show and and then there's a great one like a European one called Rock Plast
00:35:45
with this kind of funny bearded host but it's you know it'll be like the Rolling
00:35:49
Stones in 1972 but that's >> kind of kind of what I get the the most it seems I uh but yeah I'm always
00:35:58
YouTube is great just anything you're interested in you can look it up and uh but yeah it's always fun to see those
00:36:07
great old, you know, in those interviews where, you know, they're not bombing through the interview like they do now
00:36:15
on talk shows. They were just so much more conversational. Um, >> yeah, Dick Cavitt was like a
00:36:22
>> Carson. >> I get a lot of old Carson's. Yeah, >> the old Carson's are just great. And
00:36:27
like I went through where I I think I watched every Bob New Hart and Johnny interview and those are so unbelievable.
00:36:36
like them making each other laugh and it's also so conversational but there's just
00:36:42
>> you don't feel that vibe of okay you know this story then that story and this
00:36:47
story then an ice bucket >> ice bucket challenge and um >> I don't even know if it's planned like I
00:36:53
mean nowadays I never knew that >> you have to sort of give them an idea of what you're going to say and tell them
00:36:59
stories ahead of time then they go we like those stories I back then it really felt like I don't know if it was planned
00:37:05
or not But it because it would have dead spots which was fine. You know, they would just talk and then we wouldn't
00:37:11
have a good answer and it would be silent for a second. >> Yeah. Yeah. That's what I mean. There
00:37:15
would be pauses in the conversation where >> where John where Johnny would be like
00:37:21
just looking and kind of smiling. Dana, you you have the great Johnny stories, even though didn't it it kind
00:37:29
of ended with him maybe he had his feelings hurt by Carenio, but did you guys ever get to kind of smooth it over?
00:37:37
>> Not really. I kind of regret that it wasn't Carinio. Carcin, they're making fun of Arseno as much as they're making
00:37:44
fun of us. You see that, Cario? So, he was okay with that. It was one where Susan Day came on and Johnny didn't know
00:37:53
the Partridge family had been off the air. So, how's that show going? >> And [laughter] he felt in on Monday
00:37:59
before he started the show, Johnny apparently, you see Edward Scenile now. Did you see that? He didn't say Saturday
00:38:05
Night Live. So, that that was unfortunate. But, uh, inhabiting Johnny was just complete Nebraskan
00:38:14
earnestness, you know. So, Luke, you just came into and you shut up the mic and here you are and you're talking to
00:38:20
Dana Garney and uh, David Spedler. I guess you're some pretty fine entertainers. Is that right? It's just
00:38:26
this sort of that's why he's good with old people. But I was and young people, but I was going to say that he was the
00:38:31
king and there is no singular king now. There's so many shows. I mean, Co Bear just got bounced, but like you the
00:38:38
competition and the intensity cuz all the other choices, but Johnny was the settled king by the 70s. Cavitt made a
00:38:46
little noise, but yeah. So, that was >> Tom Schneider was good. >> Tom Schneider. And that's that that's
00:38:52
that's another great, you know, YouTube thing is the American Masters about Johnny where he goes back
00:38:59
>> to uh uh to Nebraska. Yeah. um where you where you kind of see that other side of
00:39:06
Johnny that you would hear about where he was a little he was a little more quiet and thoughtful.
00:39:11
>> But yeah, Tom Snyder was great. He he he'd smoke a few butts during an interview.
00:39:17
>> All right, sir. Fair enough, sir. >> What do you Yeah, I went on his show once and then he didn't show he didn't
00:39:22
show up. I'm in the chair and the show's starting the music everything and there's no Tom Schneider. And his first
00:39:27
line, this was like 97 or something. He goes, "So you're making fun of Johnny on
00:39:31
the show? Why are you making fun of Johnny Carson? He went right after that, like four years after the effect. And I
00:39:37
said, you know what? >> [ __ ] you. And they cut that part. No, I just [laughter]
00:39:43
>> Are you kidding? >> I'm kidding. Ask Johnny. You know what, Tom? [ __ ] you. And the horse you rode in
00:39:49
on. >> Well, uh, so anyway, Luke, tell us about getting stuck in an elevator because
00:39:54
that's my biggest fear. [laughter] >> Oh god. I uh it just shows how the news has changed. Like you you could have
00:40:02
written a book or had some great movie come come out and people are like so you were stuck on an elevator. [laughter]
00:40:09
But I I um Wes Anderson I and and James L. Brooks had gone to the Academy of Motion
00:40:19
Pictures, >> Arts and Sciences for >> for the 30 for a 30th anniversary screening of Bottle Rocket.
00:40:28
>> Oh, Bottle Rocket. >> Cool. The first >> and >> and it was, you know, we went and and
00:40:34
got to walk around the museum a little bit, which is really cool. I'd not been in there.
00:40:38
>> And then we had and then we did a nice talk before. I say nice talk because it
00:40:44
was great to do it instead of a Q&A after, but we did a talk before and Wes was great and really funny on stage and
00:40:52
James El Brooks is always really interesting and thoughtful. And then >> when we finished that, we were going to
00:41:00
go to dinner and for some reason, you know, we were only one floor up, but they put us on this elevator and it was,
00:41:08
you know, 11 people and the thing just stopped. Uh, and I'd not been on I'd not been on an elevator that fully stopped
00:41:17
and gotten stuck. And I had on a sport coat and a tie. And about, you know, 10 minutes in, I'd take off the tie. And
00:41:25
then, you know, at about 20 minutes in, took off the jacket and, you know, could
00:41:32
not get out and eventually kind of pried the doors open, you know, that much to get a little air. And then, um,
00:41:39
>> you had to eat James L. Brooks. >> Did you have light? Was it Was it dark or you had some ambience?
00:41:44
>> It was day. It was daytime. And then they did have to call the uh the LA Fire
00:41:51
Department and and looked out, you know, got the doors apart and saw those guys walking
00:41:58
>> and they they we we we didn't feel that they were walking with the urgency that
00:42:03
that we would have hoped for, but let's [laughter] still >> I I said, "Hey, at least we're going to
00:42:10
get to see some hunky LF LA Fire Department guys." Uh but they they did get us out but it was over it was over a
00:42:18
half an hour and it was it was definitely you know I'm not not claustrophobic but did start to think
00:42:25
you know okay you know what would happen if there was a fire or an earthquake or
00:42:30
something bad and we're in a metal box. >> Oh yeah. >> What were the other people like? Did
00:42:35
they interview? Hey Luke Wilson, were they civilians so quote unquote or were they part of the show
00:42:40
>> on the in the elevator? There was, you know, a a few a few public a few publicists, a few people from the
00:42:48
academy, James Brooks. >> So So yeah, no, just regular people. So quote unquote,
00:42:55
>> right there. There was nobody that wasn't associated with the talk, but yeah. So we managed to get out of there,
00:43:00
but it is a couple of people took took pictures and and then it went I I guess it's gone semi viral.
00:43:08
>> Are you crying? I'm just so I'm very curious about Wes Anderson because he doesn't do a lot of
00:43:14
interviews and in that situation was his his creative mind going like is he going
00:43:19
to put that in a movie or something or he seems his movies are so singular west you know [gasps]
00:43:26
>> Wes was really funny on it because Wes got on the intercom to maintenance and
00:43:32
had this I wish I could remember what he was saying and then and then and then one point through the doors to the LA
00:43:42
Fire Department, you know, Wes said, "Would you just at least give us an update? Are you making progress?" And
00:43:49
the guy was like, "Sir, we're doing what we can to get you out of there when we can get you out of there." And uh
00:43:55
[laughter] and he and he cut and he kind of gave Wes a bit of a brushback ditch. Um,
00:44:01
which Wes took in good stride, but Wes was I I James El Brooks at the beginning was very quiet and I thought, gosh, I I
00:44:09
hope he's not claustrophobic. And then he got very funny uh and started filming it. Um, I I was I I I felt like I was
00:44:20
getting kind of a little more starting to think, you know, getting a little more concerned as the time went on.
00:44:28
>> And it was airless. you know, to feel that airless feeling where you get that
00:44:33
sheen of sweat on you. >> Um, and then yeah, just thinking and when you look through the little it when
00:44:40
you could get the door open, it was it was a a metal bars a great, you know, it wasn't just an open floor where you just
00:44:47
thought, "Okay, if they pry these open, we can at least jump out or crawl out." And then cage,
00:44:53
>> the other side was this [clears throat] thick, you know, museum glass. Uh >> I had a stuck elevator story if you want
00:45:01
to hear that. [laughter] >> Would love to. >> My wife and I and Arnold Schwarzenegger
00:45:06
are in an elevator >> in our competition. >> Yeah, I know. I >> It stops and everybody's kind of quiet.
00:45:14
It just stops and we're just sort of waiting, waiting, waiting and then it lurches a little bit and then Arnold two
00:45:22
minutes of silence just goes, "Yeah, now it's getting interesting." you know, [laughter]
00:45:28
but he was like the Terminator. He was like, "Don't worry. I know how to do things in these situations. They're
00:45:35
going to come in and but this is a very interesting situation, but the elevator is supposed to go up and the doors are
00:45:42
supposed to open, but we're stuck in the darkness." I go, "Thanks for explaining
00:45:45
that whole thing, Arnold. No problem. Let me light a cigar and I'll tell you more.
00:45:50
>> You don't mind if I smoke?" >> But most of that story was true until I went off on a flight of fancy. But yeah,
00:45:56
he was this is getting very interesting. He was very cool. >> I I will say that the LA Fire Department
00:46:01
was great. They got us out of there. They were very cool customers. So when they mosied on over there,
00:46:09
>> that's kind [laughter] of it would be less scary. >> It wasn't like Backdraft. I'll put it
00:46:15
like that. They weren't charging. I loved kind of what you hope for is a little more kind of check that would
00:46:22
kind of walk. >> Yeah. Look, David, there are some things in life you just want to keep private, like
00:46:30
your browser history, right? You don't want everyone or a questionable swimsuit choice, FYI.
00:46:38
>> But when it comes to your phone bill, total transparency is everything. I got
00:46:43
to be honest, that's why I really do. I love Mint Mobile. >> Yeah. Listen, my if I anything ever
00:46:48
happens to me, please drive to my house and burn my laptop. Um, they looked at, these guys at Mint Mobile, they looked
00:46:55
at everything wrong with the wireless industry and they actually fixed it. They uh offering premium wireless for
00:47:01
just 15 bucks a month. >> You get the uh blazing fast data. You get unlimited talk and text on the
00:47:08
nation's largest 5G network without any hidden gotchas. That's they usually have. It's
00:47:15
incredibly easy to switch. Keep your current phone. >> You can have your same phone number.
00:47:20
Mine's bad, by the way. I would change it. Uh, and then choose a three, six, or 12 month plan to completely say goodbye
00:47:27
>> to that annoying monthly bill. >> You know, it is time to ditch those overpriced carriers. Come on, people. To
00:47:37
get your new wireless plan for just 15 bucks a month, is anything 15 bucks a month anymore?
00:47:43
>> Nothing. Go to mintmobile.com/flywall. That's mintmobile.com/flywall. Cut your wireless bill to 15 bucks a
00:47:55
month at mintmobile.com/flywall. That's it. There's no catch, right, David? >> Upfront payment of 45 bucks for 3

device required. Availability speed and coverage varies. You just go to mintmobile.com.
00:48:29
All your answers are there. >> That's mints. They're not just for after dinner. >> No, Luke, listen. I think that if you
00:48:40
told someone cuz I've been stuck and my story is way better. I'm not going to tell it though. But I've been stuck. And
00:48:48
if you told someone, could you handle this for 31 minutes? You might be able to get your head around it.
00:48:54
>> But people forget. You think you're in there forever. There's no ending. >> That's why you freak out.
00:49:00
>> So they hear 30 minutes, they go, I could do 30. But you're not told that ahead of time. So it's like being on a
00:49:06
desert island or anything. You're on the runway for for two hours. You go, I guess. But you think it's there's no
00:49:13
end, >> right? And and yeah, and then they they they stuck they stuck they stuck a like
00:49:18
a a little spatula through and you thought, "Okay, what the hell is that going to do?" And then they stuck, you
00:49:23
know, like a kind of a clothes hanger thing through and, you know, nothing was really doing anything. And uh nothing's
00:49:30
doing. >> Was there cake on the spatula? [laughter] >> That's what I'm not kidding. That's what
00:49:38
it looked like. But because of course, you know, I'd said, you know, they'll have the jaws of life. They'll pry these
00:49:42
open. They'll break the door off. >> I would think. >> Um, >> but I I did say at one point, you know,
00:49:49
to the to the woman from the academy, I said, "You you might need to call the the head of the academy now because the
00:49:55
because the maintenance, they're not doing much. Um, they don't seem to or at least call the president of Obis
00:50:02
Elevators. [laughter] >> Just call the president Trump." I like it's something happening.
00:50:09
>> I like the name. No, that top I mean I'm sorry I interrupted. I was halfway through your elevator story and then I I
00:50:15
inserted Arnold and then we finally got the rear of the spatula and all this stuff. But
00:50:19
>> we're just glad you're safe, Luke. But shouldn't we mention the show that he's
00:50:23
on pretty >> What is with the Hawk and what the hell is that about? >> It's a golf It's a golf [laughter]
00:50:36
You got me there. I've been doing so much press. Did you see me? I just It's a gold show.
00:50:42
>> Oh, you've Okay, you've been on a press tour for this. We'll make it interesting.
00:50:47
>> What is I only did a couple of days, but but it was coming off two weeks of nights. So, so I I
00:50:54
>> You guys did nights on Schwarz's movie? Oh, I didn't get >> Do you just get an offer kind of every
00:51:00
day of something? Seems like you are highly in demand, Luke. very >> just every day they go there is this
00:51:07
thing you're probably not gonna do it but they like you to do this and that and you know
00:51:12
>> no >> no I'm [laughter] I'm sure it's just like I'm sure it's just like with you
00:51:16
guys where people say are you working all the time where you say no you know sometimes you're very busy and then
00:51:22
other times it seems you're off for six or nine months um >> which you know can be can be can be nice
00:51:29
too I mean I I enjoy both um as >> or something doesn't come out like for a year and they go where you been one guy
00:51:37
goes got the big question is got any movies when they get nervous they don't know what to say got any movies coming
00:51:43
out I go like I remember someone asked me during the wrong missy I go oh uh yeah the wrong missy on Netflix I go oh
00:51:50
I didn't see that got any other ones well how many do I [ __ ] need it takes a year to shoot a year to come out
00:51:58
>> yeah when was kidding around with Will Frell about that where he said he'd had
00:52:03
a guy say So, are you still making movies? And [laughter] I said one one one and Will said, "Yeah, I I I just
00:52:12
had a movie come out maybe like four months ago where I'd missed a flight up at Mammoth and it was like snowy day.
00:52:20
The flights are only two days. I got the day wrong." And this kid working in the
00:52:25
airport said, "Hey man, when are you gonna make a comeback?" >> Oh, yeah. Come back. [laughter] And I
00:52:32
said, "Well, I uh you know, you're already really down because you've just missed a flight." And I said, "Well, I I
00:52:39
got to get back to LA to get this comeback started. So, probably going to be at least at least two days before I
00:52:46
start the old comeback." But thank you [laughter] for >> He's like, "Get back on that audition
00:52:51
circuit." >> I remember being at an event, first few months SNL, AFI, Kirk Douglas thing.
00:52:58
Jimmy Stewart's over there and we're around this table. I remember people, he's 82, he's Jimmy Stewart. Jimmy
00:53:04
[ __ ] Stewart and they're saying, "Yeah, he's not working much lately." And I thought, "You cannot win the game
00:53:13
of show business. If Jimmy Stewart can't win it, what chance do I have?" Yeah, he's not really
00:53:20
>> [ __ ] you know, anyway, >> even, you know, when those kind of old actors just kind of stop working in a
00:53:27
dignified way, they kind of do that. Whether it's like Jean Hackman or they kind of say it about Jack Nicholson now,
00:53:34
like, oh well, you know, Jack, he's not working anymore. It's like, yeah, well, he's 86. It's probably [laughter]
00:53:43
>> he has 40 classic movies and three Oscars. Does that count for something? [laughter]
00:53:49
>> Right. So, he's probably enjoying just sitting around with his art. [laughter]
00:53:54
>> You know what a good move is, and this is what I'll do, is when I see someone
00:53:59
that hasn't been working for a while, what a strategy is a real strategy, is they announce their retirement. They go,
00:54:08
they're just not that many parts, and you know, I'm going to And so, you never really have to do that because you sort
00:54:12
of get forced into retirement from show business. But if you say that, it's your
00:54:16
last swing of people going, >> "You know what? They'd be good for this because you're in the paper again one
00:54:23
last time to announce a retirement >> newspaper >> and they go, "Oh, okay. Well, maybe we
00:54:28
should them, >> right?" It always seems to be It always seems to be guys like Russell Crow or
00:54:35
Daniel D. Lewis where I, you know, Steve Morton had that great line where he said, "You're you're you're out of the
00:54:41
business for five years before you know it." [laughter] >> No, no one gave you the memo. Yeah. Do
00:54:49
they mention uh your brother to you a lot and try to contrast and compare or anything like that?
00:54:54
>> Oh, yeah. They always and always get and of course now we we both have golf shows. Um so bring up, you know, bring
00:55:03
that up. But >> yeah, people that's another thing people always want to kind of >> say like, "Are you guys competitive?"
00:55:10
And say, "No, you you you it's kind of like we're on the same team where you want the other person to do well when
00:55:18
you you know, we're not we're not uh we're not we're not the Everly Brothers. We're not feuding. We actually get along
00:55:26
very well, >> just very well. And we are in the business firmly and doing work." And
00:55:32
>> uh this >> he looks he looks a little like Richard Gear and Pretty Woman here right now.
00:55:38
>> Uh yeah. Yeah. Dicky Dicky Gear and Pretty Woman. >> Richard Gear and Pretty Woman right now
00:55:44
>> with Jules Roberts >> with no gray hair like like younger than that. Like early like officer and a
00:55:49
gentleman. >> I don't know why I just saw that. Uh >> there's there's another great actor kind
00:55:55
of on a Where's he been? >> Hilarious. Richard Gear. Richard Gear. No, he is a stud. Yeah.
00:56:02
>> Is that what you're talking about? >> He is. Yeah. Fantastic. >> Unbelievable.
00:56:08
>> A gentleman on top of everything else. >> What What is your What's your go-to?
00:56:11
Just I always I'm always so curious about movies that you love just just random. You don't have to say your best
00:56:17
or whatever, but movies that you would watch another time maybe or something like that. I'm just curious. Any
00:56:22
favorite? >> I'll throw out The Godfather just to start it. >> Oh, for sure. the Godfather that and
00:56:28
that the great thing about that is it's always on. >> Um yeah, >> but um I I do love Chinatown and that is
00:56:37
one of those ones where I I feel like I still don't understand everything about it
00:56:43
>> which is great Chinatown. >> Yeah. And like like I think [ __ ] >> James I wrote down too. Thief is supposed to
00:56:57
get What about they're redoing Heat? >> I know. I saw that. But I think um >> I think what they're doing with Heat was
00:57:06
Michael Man wrote a book which is a not a precursor, whatever that word is, but I believe that's what they're doing. So
00:57:13
it's like Val Kilmer's character when he was younger >> and the Dairo character and I I read the
00:57:19
book and it is great. >> Oh >> the greatest thing about heat was I think that Pacino when Pacino went full
00:57:27
sudden scream that was what are you going to do? You going TO MAKE A MOVE? I CAN'T.
00:57:33
>> Was that in Kate Mandolini? That's brilliant. You know >> Kate Mandolini. Yeah that was that that
00:57:41
showdown between Dairo. Was it the only scene Dairo and Pacino were in together?
00:57:46
>> Yeah. Did you guys used to go to Kate Manolini? I used to go there all the time.
00:57:50
>> I'm so mad it's over with cuz >> I know >> no one did anything with it. >> Noi
00:57:58
>> right across from Dana's manager's building. >> There I'll pay. >> I have a manager. [laughter]
00:58:05
>> What What about What about you guys? What are a few of your guys favorite movies to that you can watch repeatedly?
00:58:13
>> Yeah. Um, you know, I love Soilent Green. I watched that recently. >> See, that's one I I I don't know that
00:58:20
I've ever seen it. What a what >> G. Robinson. I like science fiction, you know.
00:58:27
>> Yeah. I mean, as far as Yeah, that's And G. Robinson is so brilliant in that. And
00:58:33
Charlton H. I love Planet of the Apes. I love 2001, Space Odyssey. As far as Redford in the in the 70s, some people
00:58:40
don't like it, but I just look at >> I look at Three Days of the Condor, The Way We Were. I look at all the
00:58:48
president's men. >> I mean, his run in there all the way to the Natural and then The Horse Whisper,
00:58:54
whatever. He's like underrated or something, but his charisma, especially Three Days the Condor with Fa Dunaway in
00:59:02
one of the greatest acting moments when she says goodbye to him at the subway station
00:59:07
>> and he goes, "Just don't call any I just need five minutes." And the hurt on her
00:59:12
face is like as good as it gets. You know, it's like James Fonda and the China Syndrome. You know,
00:59:18
>> she was >> China syndrome was unreal. Silkwood, too. I mean, yeah, Silk Silkwood's one
00:59:23
of those ones I I I've tried to find it to watch and for it's not on Amazon. You
00:59:29
can't find it on YouTube. >> I don't know. >> No, it's that [laughter] was I think
00:59:34
Mike Nicholls directed that. That's a that's a great one. >> Yeah, it's so good. I like those
00:59:40
mysteries with big stars. >> I like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I I love some Tarantino. I like
00:59:45
>> You're always You're always doing that. Uh, that's a good scene where he's crying.
00:59:52
>> Let's face it, I'm I'm a goddamn handsman. Don't cry in front of the Mexicans. What' that guy say to you? I
00:59:58
think there's a lot worse things than going to Italy and make Italian westerns. I'm goddamn Italian western.
01:00:04
How many you seen? One. Two. Let's face it. I haven't been a stump man in a long
01:00:08
time. And I like hanging out here when you're out of town. I'm Brad Pitt and there's no one cooler. So [ __ ] cut
01:00:15
it, Quinton. [laughter] He's a good one. >> No, I memorized the whole movie. I saw
01:00:20
it 11 times. I I just love movies. >> I love movies. >> I think that was >> that was definitely a two two times in
01:00:28
the theater for me, which I had not done in a long time. >> Yeah, >> you have to see it. I love it.
01:00:33
>> I love I love I love when you quote that, Dana. And that's one that does have a lot of gold in it.
01:00:39
>> Oh, yeah. It's it's it's magic. One thing I was just I was so curious because you said a few minutes ago like
01:00:44
if you have nine months off, what do what do you do? Do are you a painter? Are you an athlete? Are you you know
01:00:51
what what are you doing with your time off? What's your what's your hobbies? What's your muse?
01:00:56
>> I'm all of these things you mentioned. I'm a painter. [laughter] I'm a >> Are you
01:01:03
okay? >> I snorkel. I sail. [laughter] >> Yeah, I think you are. You're a Renaissance man. I've been I've been
01:01:10
sketching you this whole time we've been talking. [laughter] >> That's funny. >> Holds it up.
01:01:16
>> I uh I I don't call myself a Renaissance fan. Other people do. >> Yeah, these are other people's words.
01:01:22
>> I I do play a lot of golf and uh I go back to Texas a lot. I I don't do a I want to as as I've gotten older, I want
01:01:32
to kind of try and do a better job traveling. Like Owen does a good job kind of going to,
01:01:38
>> you know, different countries [laughter] and stuff. >> Isn't he good at going alone? I see him
01:01:43
alone sometimes. I'm like, that's I kind of would like to do that. I do that more
01:01:48
than most people, but to travel alone, I don't really do. >> Yeah. I think he like, you know, I've
01:01:55
been I've gone to London with him and he's been like, "Oh, we we got to go over to to to Dave's house. I got to get
01:02:00
my bike." And I'll be like, "You you keep a bike in London?" Same thing in Paris. [laughter] Like, we have to go to
01:02:06
to Jav's house. That might got to get my bike. You have a bike in Paris as well?
01:02:12
>> Yeah. Yeah. [laughter] >> I hung out with him a little bit. He he once said, you know, hey, you want to go
01:02:18
to Argentina and surf? [laughter] I go, I guess so. I'm thinking of going to Gellson's in a few minutes, but
01:02:25
>> yeah. [laughter] >> Yeah, exactly. I know that Argentina go back to Texas is like that's all I
01:02:31
really knew. >> Well, the only reason I bring up the artist thing is because I don't know if
01:02:37
you heard this, but I was hanging out with uh Christopher Walkin a while back about a year ago and I said, "Do you
01:02:43
paint?" And he just said, "Of course all old actors paint." Like it's of course you paint at a given point, but you're
01:02:50
too young. >> No, I haven't taken it up. But I mean it is one of those things where I just
01:02:56
always appreciate when you know anybody has you know I don't fly fish, but I know those guys that do where you just
01:03:03
>> Yeah. >> You know, you just appreciate having something where you can kind of lose
01:03:08
yourself [snorts] >> for a few for a few hours. Um uh but um >> it's like meditating.
01:03:17
>> So does does this take us to buzzing around? No. I I [laughter] Okay. Another thing one one of my
01:03:25
favorite things was when you guys were on Bill Maher recently >> and and and you could it was I I I Club
01:03:34
Random is great is great as well. um where he interviews people and you know he he smokes and he drinks on it and um
01:03:45
but you you guys did seem to be his favorite guests and >> and um but it was funny at the end, you
01:03:53
know, where he seemed kind of high and had a good buzz and he was like, I could sit here and talk to you guys for two
01:04:00
more hours and and David said, I got to get to a dinner. [laughter] I had a heart out. I [clears throat]
01:04:08
know. I I would have gone longer, but yeah. >> And he was serious, but I was like that
01:04:13
that would be a great way to leave a talk show. Like I uh actually got to hit it. Thanks for having me. Uh but it that
01:04:20
had me laughing as much as anything >> because then he got really hurt. He goes, "Well," and I go, "Dana can stay.
01:04:25
I don't >> No, my wife happened to be in I had to meet her." And you know it just what
01:04:30
happens is with these monol these comedians like Larry David and Bill Mah they just love oldtimey impressions in
01:04:39
elicit circumstances like they laugh forever. I mean it's crazy how much they love that [ __ ] So I love to do it for
01:04:47
them you know. >> And he's a good laugher. Bill was funny asleep drunk and stoned and laughing and
01:04:53
it's just funny to >> he's a fun hangout. >> Yeah. We'll do that again. >> He is it is different uh than he is on
01:05:02
uh >> re real re real time. He he's great on real time, but he does seem like on Club
01:05:08
Random like he is at home just kind catching a buzz with people. And uh but he he really he no kidding he seemed to
01:05:16
enjoy you guys more than any other guests I've ever seen on there. Even though I I did notice David was a a
01:05:24
little more quiet than Dana and reserved during that show. Bill was trying to kind of talk about, you know, you know,
01:05:30
being single and still >> I didn't like that. >> David was David was not getting down
01:05:37
with that. >> I'm like, "Bill, I haven't seen you out in 10 years. Where where are you?" He's
01:05:42
like this worst thing. He's like, "We like the younger G." I'm like, "Shut [laughter]
01:05:47
off the top." right off the bat. >> And David looked like suddenly like he was on 60 Minutes. He was just kind of
01:05:55
turned into a >> I was staring at him going, "Bill, just say you do. I don't care, but don't drag
01:06:00
me." >> He was definitely doing it like, "Hey, you and me, we like >> and he's like, "We don't apologize." I'm
01:06:05
like, "Me again? Am I still in this [laughter] >> kind of ask asking asking Dana like like
01:06:13
he was an anthropologist about married life, >> you know? which [laughter] is really
01:06:19
funny. But >> yeah, I was like an exotic insect. He's trying to understand, you know, 43
01:06:25
years. >> You're telling me that when you walk in the door and it's the same woman, you
01:06:32
don't want to >> Yeah. What do you do then? >> You You don't want to do it like the end
01:06:37
of Five Easy Pieces and just get on a bus and leave. [laughter] >> Great reference. Five easy pieces.
01:06:45
>> Funny. Take your ham sandwich. That whole thing was fantastic. I just want the bread. So remove the bacon and the
01:06:53
tomato between your best thing in the world is to be in some movie that people have seen and liked because
01:07:00
>> it doesn't happen often. But >> no, >> but like Luke, when people see you in movies and you go, I've watched that a
01:07:07
hundred times and you go, if this is anything like when I used to watch a movie, then this is the ultimate
01:07:13
compliment because >> I I know I just hard to get one right and be in a good one.
01:07:19
>> I can never quite, you know, kind of accept it because I know how I feel about those movies and I just think how
01:07:27
can they feel that? >> [clears throat] >> It's like when um you know uh but yeah I
01:07:33
I I know what you mean and you are and you are so lucky. Yeah. To have people say you know
01:07:39
>> you know we watch this you know me and my friends watch this once a month. >> Yeah.
01:07:44
>> Um >> me and my dad watch it. Me and my kids watch you go [ __ ] >> So >> which one is the biggest banger? Is it I
01:07:51
mean tennib bombs for the costumes but is it some west movies or some of the some of the will
01:07:56
>> reducing it a little bit >> old school and those one >> I think I think old school and and and
01:08:02
Idiocracy and but but there's so funny there there's some where like Idiocracy just
01:08:08
>> was such a flop when it came out that [laughter] you're you're then that's the
01:08:12
feeling I have about it was just a failure. Yeah. >> So then when people quote it to you or
01:08:17
say they love it you're Oh thank you. Thank you. But there's still for me there's still the sadness there and even
01:08:24
>> like where were you? Yeah. >> Mike Judge, right? Mike Judge. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. People mention a lot like this is
01:08:30
like idiocracy like it keeps coming up. People like this is they predicted this.
01:08:35
Exactly. >> And then so at least it made a dent. That's all you want is some culty.
01:08:40
>> Exactly. And then now there there's the last made a movie called The Family Stone. So, I'll have people say that me
01:08:46
and my family, we watch that every year at Christmas and Thanksgiving >> and and you just can't I don't believe
01:08:52
it. Um, [laughter] >> I don't believe you. >> I have one called Trapped in Paradise
01:08:57
where we just fell down in the snow for 3 months. Me, Nicholas Cage, and John Love. I mean, [laughter]
01:09:02
>> and people go, "It's on our holiday list." I go, "Really? Let's unpack that. It doesn't even make sense. [laughter]
01:09:10
>> We're just want falling down in the snow. It can't happen." nine weeks of nights for these guys on top of it being
01:09:16
not wellreceived. >> I mean, I I I just did two and a half nights. >> It It will make you feel like you like
01:09:24
you've lost your mind. I And you know, being older makes it so much harder. I think I think I did I think I did a
01:09:31
month of nights, >> you know, when I was like 28 or something. And you just >> Yeah.
01:09:37
>> You're so lost, too. know what you get home, people are going to bed, you're >> you're going to work,
01:09:42
>> right? >> It's so weird. I mean, I've got some nights coming up. Usually, if I'm part
01:09:47
of the writing, we troubleshoot the script for nights. We go this is makes it a bar in a night. It could be in the
01:09:53
day or not. Could anything be in the day and it still makes sense, >> right? >> Doesn't need to be night. Yeah. Okay.
01:09:59
>> It makes a big difference. And >> everyone's [ __ ] out of it. >> Yeah. People get people get loopy and
01:10:06
you know then it does Yeah. It's then you get home and it's it's a very odd feeling unsettling to me almost when you
01:10:15
can't you're trying to go to bed and that >> Yeah. Exactly. just for uh just for a
01:10:20
second ago. I mean, I remember telling John Voy, who's hanging out in New York for a while when I was doing got to know
01:10:25
him and was talking about coming home and the champ and got to know. Oh, sorry. John
01:10:32
>> John Void and Deliverance and stuff and the only thing he said was, you know, we
01:10:36
worked really hard on those movies. Really hard. So, he didn't he didn't disown them or go, "Yeah, it was pretty
01:10:44
good." But Deliverance is one of those movies hard to watch in a way because but it's un you know and that guy who
01:10:51
who had his way with [laughter] who's the actor >> Ned Batty he was at a he was at a gym I
01:10:59
used to go to in LA for a while >> he would do that to you? >> No [laughter] he tried but no but he said that Ned had
01:11:08
a problem with it. I thought it was fine but he had a problem with it. [laughter]
01:11:11
You know >> I'm sure he did. Not something like a, "Hey, we just wrote this at Video
01:11:16
Village, Ned. We're gonna throw something at you. Let's try that." >> Well, Gilbert Gone had that great bit
01:11:21
where they're trying to get Ned Batty out of the trailer to shoot the scene. Ned.
01:11:27
>> Ned, we're ready on set. Ned. So, anyway, if you don't know the movie, look it up, kids.
01:11:34
>> It's great. Uh, John Borman, I think, from that and it was from memory from a
01:11:39
from a James Dicki. The the book is great. Um, >> Lewis, remember that name Lewis in that?
01:11:47
>> Lewis. Yeah. Yeah. And of course Bert Reynolds in that was so awesome. >> Yeah. But remember the uh what you were
01:11:55
saying about coming home and and it being hard work because I do remember, you know, John Boy reading that he spent
01:12:02
a lot of times with, excuse me, a lot of time with Vietnam vets and that great speech he gives to the high school. I I
01:12:09
think a lot of that he kind of >> made up and was it was kind of unscripted. And that's that's another
01:12:16
one of those Hal Ashby classics like you mentioned, ones you can watch over and over like The Last Detail and
01:12:23
>> Yeah. >> Um >> but >> I don't I don't mean to keep No, I I don't I don't mean to keep you guys. I I
01:12:30
feel like Bill Moore I could talk to you guys. >> I got a dinner. That's when David David
01:12:35
says, "I have a lunch actually down at Craigs." Well, it can't be at Craig's. Craigs doesn't open till 5. You got to
01:12:41
lose. >> I gotta get there and get in line. >> Just so make your public the publicity
01:12:46
department happy. >> This the longest one we've ever done. >> When does Hawk come out and on what
01:12:50

01:13:01

01:13:45
Although uh there was there was one time when when uh I just remember tuning in and Dana
01:13:53
said Dana said to David, "You you got pink eye, motherfucker." And I was like, [laughter] "This is why
01:14:01
I feel like these guys it's it's it's not just about Hollywood and SNL. It's like hanging out with friends when you
01:14:08
were, you know, in high school or eighth grade or >> we do for we do forget that we're kind
01:14:15
of and kind of this is the new broadcasting that we're actually sort of on new television. So you got pink eye
01:14:21
[ __ ] I'm going to make a t-shirt out of that. >> I do remember that David never gets
01:14:26
defensive. It's like ping pong. Anything I throw at David, he just millisecond, he goes right back right back at it.
01:14:33
It's always funny to hear Dana say something. We just keep going. >> Thank you though. That's very nice. And
01:14:39
>> you made my you made my day really like Clint Eastwood would in that [laughter]
01:14:42
movie because you're an actually listen to this and actually kind of like it. So
