00:00:04
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:00:05
>> And I was using uh one of those um you
00:00:08

00:00:11
or whatever. It was the first time.
00:00:12
Yeah. First time I was using it and we
00:00:15
finished the hike and I forgot to take
00:00:16
his off. So I'm walking. I took me like
00:00:18
a half hour to get to him and I know
00:00:20
that everything he said is on that
00:00:22
recorder for that half hour and I never
00:00:25
listened to it cuz I didn't want to know
00:00:27
>> who we listen to.
00:00:27
>> I didn't know what he said. Here's
00:00:28
here's something if you want to get
00:00:30
brought down a lot is go on uh chat GBT
00:00:34
and ask the question
00:00:36
>> uh are you handsome?
00:00:38
>> Oh no.
00:00:38
>> Is Dana Carvey handsome and see what
00:00:40
they say.
00:00:41
>> [ __ ] off.
00:00:42
>> My son did that. My son did that to me.
00:00:45
And it said well you know it depends on
00:00:47
what you mean by handsome.
00:00:49
>> You know
00:00:53
>> I just saw Kevin Neilan last night drive
00:00:56
up to the comedy store and ignore me.
00:00:58
Um. Huh.
00:01:00
No. I was talking to someone. I'm like,
00:01:03
"There's Kevin. He's too tall to talk
00:01:05
to, especially with all these
00:01:06
witnesses."
00:01:08
So, I was going to go bust his balls a
00:01:11
little bit, but he parked and he walked
00:01:12
the other way into the front of the
00:01:14
comedy store, which no one does. And,
00:01:17
uh, always funny. What can we say about
00:01:19
Kevin Neilan? We I always give him
00:01:22
compliments when I see him because I
00:01:23
remember probably 50 of his jokes and I
00:01:26
say him all the time.
00:01:28
>> Yeah. Loosen the crotch. You will talk
00:01:30
about that a little bit.
00:01:31

>> Slap yourself in the face as hard as you
00:02:25
can.
00:02:26
>> Man, oh man. What a morning.
00:02:29
>> I know that it's usually like there's
00:02:31
probably nothing going on. You're going
00:02:33
to do the podcast, the second you say
00:02:35
we're doing it, chaos.
00:02:38
>> Well, you had to Well, you had to drive
00:02:40
someone to an appointment and stuff like
00:02:42
that.
00:02:42
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I drive uh Susan to a
00:02:44
doctor's appointment. But you know, you
00:02:46
we made these so far in advance and then
00:02:48
you know my calendar doesn't show my
00:02:50
whole page, you know, on my phone and
00:02:53
then I think, yeah, I could drive. I
00:02:54
could drag it and then Oh. Oh.
00:02:57
>> Oh, you scroll down that day and it says
00:03:00
more stuff.
00:03:01
>> Yeah.
00:03:02
>> Yeah. Yeah. I've done that.
00:03:04
>> Yeah. Uh they're coming out with a new
00:03:05
chess kind of a new kind of chess game
00:03:08
and it's just it's a board but you could
00:03:10
see all this scheduling stuff that goes
00:03:12
on and the back and forth the emails
00:03:14
>> might be useful.
00:03:16
>> Yeah. Because it's like I wrote a
00:03:18
manifesto because I'm going to go to LA
00:03:20
do podcasts and then go to New York and
00:03:22
back and I wrote a manifesto. It's like
00:03:24
okay spillover bag leaving car in LA
00:03:27
three shirts to New York. Okay remember
00:03:30
and then
00:03:31
>> salad for the flight. No, it's and then
00:03:33
all the rest.
00:03:35
>> Yeah. Who told you that? Claude.
00:03:39
>> Uh, no. It's Claude's Claude's sister. A
00:03:41
Claudette.
00:03:42
>> Do you know what Claude is?
00:03:45
>> Claude. Um, could be something that
00:03:48
happens from a bear.
00:03:50
>> Yeah, it's an AI. That's close.
00:03:53
>> Oh, yeah. I do know what that is. Yeah,
00:03:54
I do know what
00:03:55
>> because we were saying Dane was saying
00:03:57
that his friend writes with Claude and I
00:03:59
was thinking
00:03:59
>> talks to Claude. That's not a bad idea.
00:04:01
If you're writing, not like have a whole
00:04:03
script written by AI, but you go, "Oh, I
00:04:05
have a writing partner that when I wake
00:04:07
up at 5:00 a.m." I'm like, "Oh, they
00:04:10
will write with me now. We don't have to
00:04:12
wait."
00:04:13
>> Well, he's talking to him while he
00:04:15
drives and they're writing. And Claude
00:04:17
says, "Okay." And then CL, they come up
00:04:18
with three ideas. He goes, "How about
00:04:20
the second one?" Claude writes all three
00:04:22
out within 20 seconds and reads them to
00:04:25
them. So,
00:04:26
>> do you guys know what a claude hopper
00:04:28
is? A claw hopper? Yeah, I've heard of
00:04:30
it.
00:04:31
>> You don't?
00:04:32
>> It goes from one cloud to another.
00:04:34
>> It's a
00:04:36
it's it's it's claw clawed with a a
00:04:40
pretty good vertical is a claw hopper.
00:04:42
>> Is it still clawed like a bear? We used
00:04:44
or we pass
00:04:45
>> No. Didn't you stall Didn't you call
00:04:47
people claw hoppers as a kid?
00:04:49
>> Yeah, I like it. A dirt claw was a big
00:04:51
thing when I grew up in Arizona. There's
00:04:53
a lot of dirt clots. My brother Scott
00:04:55
once said that what what we are is
00:04:57
hybrid apes on a dirt cloud in space.
00:05:00
That's humans on Earth.
00:05:01
>> Hybrid spoken.
00:05:03
>> Yeah, maybe he is.
00:05:04
>> Oh, that that's him with stiff black
00:05:06
coffee.
00:05:10
>> No, you know, uh I know a friend of mine
00:05:12
has a a mistress that's AI and talks to
00:05:17
her all the time. Uh you know, a pod and
00:05:22
uh no, a bot. I mean, but and it's
00:05:24
almost like she knows everything about
00:05:26
him. How was your meeting today? Uhhuh.
00:05:28
And was was Gerald there? And did you
00:05:30
get the
00:05:31
>> the uh contract signed? That's nice. And
00:05:34
are you going back to that uh restaurant
00:05:35
tonight? When are you going back there?
00:05:37
So his wife found out and she got very
00:05:41
jealous and she said, "You got to at
00:05:44
least change the voice to a man's
00:05:46
voice."
00:05:48
>> So that's kind of like a bot blocker
00:05:50
right there.
00:05:51
>> Yeah. Wow.
00:05:53
>> Bot blocker. All the [ __ ]
00:05:55
>> That's the Walking Phoenix movie, Her
00:05:58
where he gets obsessed with the
00:05:59
audiobot. But that is there a digital
00:06:02
picture of a very attractive woman as
00:06:04
well. Or is it just a voice?
00:06:05
>> I don't know. Maybe you can get that
00:06:07
too, but you know,
00:06:08
>> I kind of think you do know, Kevin. I
00:06:10
don't want to
00:06:11
>> Well, it changes the whole It changes my
00:06:13
whole perception when it's a man's
00:06:15
voice, like a flamboyant man or
00:06:17
something, you know.
00:06:18
>> Uh, yeah. So
00:06:20
>> it's I tell you this whole AI thing,
00:06:23
man, it's getting carried away. It's
00:06:24
getting carried away.
00:06:26
>> But you know, Kevin, do you think you
00:06:27
could teach a female voice to feain
00:06:29
interest in your day somehow with AI?
00:06:32
>> Oh, sure.
00:06:32
>> Of course you can do that. Yeah. What if
00:06:35
it goes, I can't do that.
00:06:37
>> I can't be interested more than three
00:06:39
days in a row.
00:06:40
>> All right. So, let's get back to Let's
00:06:42
get back to writing that script, Sarah.
00:06:44
>> In fact, why don't you work? I'll check
00:06:46
it over.
00:06:47
>> You're not done.
00:06:48
They don't complain. They never get
00:06:50
tired. I mean, it's the greatest thing
00:06:51
ever, man.
00:06:52
>> AI might be something.
00:06:54
>> Yeah. It's like, it's going to solve
00:06:56
energy. It's going to save the planet.
00:06:58
You guys will see.
00:06:59
>> I'm going to put $100 into AI, let it
00:07:02
ride.
00:07:03
>> I do rely on it a lot though. Anytime I
00:07:05
have a question like, you know, what,
00:07:08
you know, how do I fix this or what's,
00:07:10
you know, the population of Chicago,
00:07:13
anything, you know,
00:07:14
>> it's very convenient.
00:07:16
Let me ask you guys a question. So, I'm
00:07:18
on Google. I didn't remember signing
00:07:21
signing up for their AI Gemini,
00:07:24
>> but I'll do an email chain and then I'll
00:07:26
just see a summary on top.
00:07:28
>> Mark said this this and then in fainter
00:07:31
font in the bottom it has me responding
00:07:34
and it sounds like me. Future's here,

And I said, I know he hated the book.

00:09:47
>> The other one he had was, and I don't

00:09:51
>> You know, there's uh five billion people

00:10:11
So,
00:10:12
>> okay. So, I have a special that's out

00:10:22
>> 800 lb gorilla. Okay.
00:10:24
>> We haven't done a special in about 10
00:10:27
>> years. And I told Spade this. I said,
00:10:30
you know, before I was doing it, I was
00:10:31
looking for a backdrop, you know, like
00:10:33
what what what are people using like
00:10:34
curtains? Is it or is some kind of a
00:10:36
>> and I'm scrolling through the zillions
00:10:38
of comics that are on Netflix
00:10:41
>> and I come across Spade
00:10:44
and
00:10:45
my opening joke was one that he was
00:10:48
doing already but he expounded on it. It
00:10:51
was much more detailed. Mine was a hit
00:10:52
and run.
00:10:53
>> So parallel development.
00:10:55
>> Yeah. So yeah,
00:10:56
>> all of a sudden I had to drop my opening
00:10:59
joke that gave me all the confidence
00:11:00
that worked so hard.
00:11:02
>> Oh no.
00:11:02
>> You know, it worked so well. It was
00:11:04
basically, you know, you'll remember
00:11:06
this faith. Um, and I don't know if it
00:11:08
was a current special or what, but I
00:11:10
said, "This woman comes up to me at my
00:11:12
hotel."
00:11:13
>> And, um, she's one of these people likes
00:11:15
to warn you that she's a hugger. She
00:11:17
goes, "I'm a hugger."
00:11:19
>> I said, "I'm a kisser."
00:11:24
>> Yeah.
00:11:25
>> I guess David, David, how did yours go?
00:11:29
Was it
00:11:29
>> It was something like that. It was
00:11:30
during CO. So I said, "Are you still
00:11:32
allowed in this day and age to just be a
00:11:34
hugger?" Because you announce it like,
00:11:37
"I'm a hugger." And I go, "I'm an ass
00:11:39
grabber." Then I go, "I'm a Come on. I'm
00:11:40
a camel toe grazer. I always have been."
00:11:42
[ __ ] bumper crotch.
00:11:45
>> So they were they were slightly I know
00:11:47
that that got me. I need
00:11:48
>> That's a little That's where you go.
00:11:50
This is going to be a roller coaster.
00:11:51
>> Let's take a short break for
00:11:53
>> I will say Kevin is not dirty and
00:11:55
sometimes I get a little dirty, but
00:11:57
Kevin just relies on clean actual jokes.
00:12:00
innuendo.
00:12:01
>> Yeah. And uh and he smiles a lot during
00:12:03
his jokes and it puts the crowd at ease,
00:12:07
>> right? He sneaks up on them.
00:12:09
>> It distracts. I've been told that my
00:12:11
comedy sneaks up on people,
00:12:14
>> you know. But um Yes.
00:12:16
>> Well, because you're saying it so
00:12:17
casually and it's it I mean, the one
00:12:19
that's famous, it's all it's huge on
00:12:22
YouTube is stay away from the blacks,
00:12:24
which is uh
00:12:27
talk a lot.
00:12:28
>> Yeah. And that that really is kind of
00:12:31
like such a clever way to And do you
00:12:33
want to explain it so people don't think
00:12:35
it's
00:12:36
>> Well, uh yeah. Yeah. But before I do
00:12:38
that, I just want to say that I posted
00:12:40
something a while ago last week that
00:12:44
I've never had so many hits on it. It's
00:12:46
like almost 30 million people
00:12:48
>> have seen it.
00:12:49
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's a basic I went into the
00:12:51
Museum of Modern Art and there was a
00:12:53
Star Night painting.
00:12:55
>> I saw it. Oh, that thing on fire. I saw
00:12:58
that.
00:12:58
>> Yeah. And I just, you know, I do, it was
00:13:01
during co area, so I had the mask on and
00:13:04
I I was standing in front of Star Night
00:13:06
painting by this Van Go and I asked this
00:13:08
kind of snoody art snob next to me. I
00:13:11
said, "Is this a famous painting?"
00:13:13
>> She goes, "Yes, yes, it's Star Night." I
00:13:16
said, "Oh, and how much are they selling
00:13:17
it for?" She goes, "It's not for sale.
00:13:19
That thing would cost you like hundreds
00:13:21
of millions of dollars." I said, "Okay."
00:13:23
And what's the guy's name? Vitabo. said,
00:13:26
"Van, what?" She goes, "Oh my god." It's
00:13:29
like, "You don't know who uh uh excuse
00:13:31
me. Is this like an adult that painted
00:13:32
it or was a child?" She goes, "It's like
00:13:34
you don't know who the Mona Lisa is."
00:13:36
And she Wow. She left. Wow. But so it's
00:13:40
funny what people like on on
00:13:43
>> I saw that and I instantly thought
00:13:45
that's a perfect area for you to be in.
00:13:48
And I actually thought to myself, we go
00:13:51
to Ted Sarandos. It's called Kevin
00:13:53
Neland, manabout town. And it's you just
00:13:56
doing that kind of lowfi Canon camera
00:13:59
stuff. We didn't even see you in the
00:14:01
video, right? Which is we heard you.
00:14:03
>> Which is funny cuz they believe it's
00:14:04
just a a regular dumb [ __ ] going like
00:14:07
>> that. What is What are they charging for
00:14:09
that? Like a couple thousand like if it
00:14:11
they sold it a couple thousand.
00:14:14
>> No, I've already I've already thought
00:14:16
about Dana that my next thing is going
00:14:18
to be the Hollywood sign. I'm going to
00:14:20
go up behind it. You know
00:14:21
>> why do people What's the point? I would
00:14:23
say, "What? Why are people looking at
00:14:25
this? What? It doesn't smell anything."
00:14:27
>> Oh, no, no, no, no. You got to go around
00:14:28
the other side to to look at. I say,
00:14:30
"Yeah, but there's fences, so you can't
00:14:31
go around the other side."
00:14:33
>> So, it's like everyone gets mad.
00:14:36
>> Yeah. How What's your favorite letter?
00:14:39
You know what? Um, is this where the
00:14:41
actors come
00:14:42
>> to to get to become a celebrity? Do they
00:14:45
have to touch it or something? What is
00:14:47
the deal? You know,
00:14:48
>> do they do movie premieres here?
00:14:50
>> Yeah.
00:14:50
>> Yeah. The same attitude. That guy's a
00:14:53
Midwest attitude. What's going on?
00:14:55
>> But the uh the black thing was um I
00:14:58
said, you know, I I here's the bit
00:15:00
actually. I'll condense it a little bit.
00:15:02
>> When I first started skiing, I didn't
00:15:04
know um anything about it. I didn't know
00:15:06
they labeled the trails for difficulty,
00:15:07
you know, like they had the greens for
00:15:09
the uh easy and the blues intermediates,
00:15:11
you know, the blacks, difficult. And um
00:15:14
I pull into this convenience store and I
00:15:16
asked the guy behind the counter in the
00:15:17
mountains there. I said, "What what's
00:15:18
the best mountain to go skiing down
00:15:20
around here? I don't know anything about
00:15:20
these." He goes, "Well, I like Copper
00:15:22
Mountain." He said, "But you know, a lot
00:15:24
of people don't like Copper Mountain
00:15:25
because of uh all the blacks."
00:15:30
And I go, "What?" He goes, "Yeah, yeah,
00:15:32
there's a lot of blacks over there." And
00:15:33
he was talking about the ski, you know,
00:15:34
the ski runs.
00:15:35
>> I know.
00:15:37
>> And he goes, "Uh, but he said, I don't
00:15:39
mind the blacks. I have a lot of fun
00:15:40
with them. They're they're a lot of fun,
00:15:42
but they will beat you up. They'll
00:15:43
definitely beat you up. Um, and uh
00:15:46
>> very difficult.
00:15:47
>> Some of them not very well groomed." Now
00:15:50
my sister went down in a black and she's
00:15:52
never come back again and she was like
00:15:54
last year but
00:15:55
>> I didn't know it went this far.
00:15:56
>> That got longer. I didn't know that far.
00:15:58
>> If if you want the good if you want the
00:16:00
good powder that's where you got to go.
00:16:02
So that was the big
00:16:03
>> completely innocent bit.
00:16:05
>> Yeah, the good white powder
00:16:06
>> just about ski runs.
00:16:08
>> And there was also the guy warned me
00:16:10
about some black ice outside. Some black
00:16:12
ice. Yeah, I wouldn't slip on it.
00:16:15
>> Some black ice. I just want to see you
00:16:19
with just like Yeah. monuments like Gong
00:16:21
Bridge. I mean, what it's what what's
00:16:23
that about? What's that for? I mean,
00:16:25
why?
00:16:26
>> Yeah. Where does that Does that go to
00:16:27
Europe? How far how far uh does that go?
00:16:30
And
00:16:30
>> And it's orange. It's quite frankly,
00:16:32
it's orange.
00:16:33
>> Orange. Yeah.
00:16:34
>> Yeah. It's not
00:16:35
>> made it golden.
00:16:37
>> And And do you think that uh it's
00:16:40
impossible for that to stay up? I mean,
00:16:42
it's there's no way that can stay up, is
00:16:44
there? Across the the water there. How
00:16:46
many people got out of Alcatraz by using
00:16:49
that bridge?
00:16:50
>> You know, just stupid questions. Just
00:16:53
the dumb guy.
00:16:54
>> You see how long the people put up with
00:16:56
it.
00:16:56
>> Yeah. Just annoying man kind of.
00:17:01
>> So, you asked me what I have coming up
00:17:03
>> and
00:17:05
>> there's a movie coming out um soon in
00:17:08
the next week or so called Mermaid
00:17:10
>> that I um play a part in.
00:17:12
>> Mermaid,
00:17:13
>> you know Mermaid? Johnny Fox. I saw Kirk
00:17:16
Fox.
00:17:17
>> Kirk Fox. Yeah.
00:17:18
>> Uh, Robert Patrick.
00:17:21
>> Um, or is it Patrick? Robert. I think it
00:17:23
was Robert Patrick. It's tough when
00:17:25
these people have the same f, you know,
00:17:27
different first names for the firm.
00:17:28
Like, uh, Jeff Jeff, I think that,
00:17:31
right?
00:17:32
>> Yeah.
00:17:33
>> Or people like that. Anyway, um, yeah.
00:17:35
So, it's a really cool movie. It's kind
00:17:37
of a thriller.
00:17:38
>> It's kind of like um splash on u, you
00:17:42
know.
00:17:43
>> Well, yeah. Is there a mermaid in it?
00:17:46
>> What's that? There's a mermaid.
00:17:48
>> There's a mermaid, but it's not your
00:17:49
typical mermaid. It's a real It's It's
00:17:52
not your typical mermaid.
00:17:54
>> The memor the mermaid that when you see
00:17:56
it, it's I don't want to give away the
00:17:58
the thing, but the face is totally
00:18:00
distorted
00:18:01
>> and it's almost alienike. It's very
00:18:03
scary.
00:18:04
>> But it opens up with Tom Arnold on a big
00:18:07
yacht. It's night time and he's
00:18:09
drinking. Hey buddy. Hey buddy. and he's
00:18:12
drinking and he hears a noise in one of
00:18:15
the dingies in the back of this big
00:18:16
yacht that's with a tarp and he goes
00:18:18
under and he looks at it
00:18:20
>> and what he sees horrifies him.
00:18:22
>> So he takes his shotgun, he shoots the
00:18:23
mermaid.
00:18:24
>> No.
00:18:24
>> And it falls over and goes in the water.
00:18:27
So it's wounded. It's not dead and the
00:18:29
mother's with it and um the thing washes
00:18:32
up to the shore. I don't want to tell
00:18:34
you I don't want to give you the whole
00:18:35
movie because but anyway it's it's about
00:18:37
this guy this percoet addict played by
00:18:40
Johnny Peton who rescues the mermaid
00:18:42
takes it in keeps it in his bathtub
00:18:44
keeps it hopped up on percoet
00:18:47
>> and um at the same time the mermaid
00:18:50
>> and at the same time he's being um
00:18:53
chased by uh this kind of like druggy
00:18:56
drug guy who he owes him money
00:18:58
>> so he kind of it's the whole movie is
00:19:00
kind of like him trying to escape from
00:19:02
that guy and also get the mermaid
00:19:05
away from these people.
00:19:07
>> Well, is it hard to find a real mermaid
00:19:09
to be in the movie or you know the thing
00:19:11
is
00:19:11
>> No, no, they're a dime a dozen, man. You
00:19:13
see them everywhere. They're like
00:19:14
dolphins,
00:19:15
>> you know. You get a real mermaid, you're
00:19:16
in the movie, then you go, "Wait, this
00:19:18
is a real movie. This this mermaid is
00:19:20
worth more than us doing the movie when
00:19:22
you cast it." You know,
00:19:25
you have to wear a flipper if you're
00:19:29
>> Who played the mermaid?
00:19:31
>> Sarah Hannah.
00:19:33
No. Shirley Mlan. Oddly.
00:19:36
>> Shirley Mlan.
00:19:37
>> Shirley Mlan. Yeah. Yeah.
00:19:39
>> Well, who voiced the mermaid? What does
00:19:41

00:19:44
>> Deborah Winger.
00:19:46
>> It's not, is it?
00:19:47
>> Hey, I'm a mermaid.
00:19:48
>> She did at She did ET as well.
00:19:51

00:19:53
>> For real.
00:19:55
>> Deb Debbie Debbie Winger.
00:19:57
>> Oh, no. Dana knows her from the [ __ ]
00:19:58
Travolta sketch. Oh my god. Here we go.
00:20:04
You should ride that bull with me some
00:20:07
>> even
00:20:11
slack so weird. I mean weird is the word
00:20:14
for people out there who still harbor a
00:20:16
desire to do a great job. Is Slack Slack
00:20:19
really weird? That's it. That's him from
00:20:22
the 1970s. John, if you're listening,
00:20:25
come on and set.
00:20:26
>> We love Travolta for Quinton Tarantino's
00:20:28
Welcome Back Cotter. I played
00:20:31
Horseshack. It was quite I saw a clip of
00:20:35
it on Tik Tok. I don't remember. Have
00:20:38
you ever seen a sketch where you don't
00:20:39
really remember everything about it? I'm
00:20:41
like,
00:20:41
>> of course, there's too many.
00:20:43
>> Oh my god. Yeah.
00:20:44
>> Yeah.
00:20:45
>> I'm like, we did a pre-tape. We're
00:20:46
walking down the street like all tough.
00:20:48
I'm like, I don't remember.
00:20:49
>> Let me ask you guys a question. On
00:20:51
YouTube, SNL, what's your biggest banger
00:20:54
in terms of views? Which sketch?
00:20:57
>> And maybe you don't know. for that
00:20:59
period.
00:21:00
>> Yeah. From when you were on SNL. I mean,
00:21:03
and also it can be just one that you
00:21:05
remember that got maybe because I have
00:21:08
one in mind that got way more than I
00:21:09
thought it would ever get.
00:21:10
>> I bet.
00:21:14
>> Well, that's definitely a big one. Yeah,
00:21:16
>> if that counts.
00:21:17
>> That's a biggie.
00:21:18
>> The one I had the most fun in, I think,
00:21:20
was called Il Contoura.
00:21:24
You know, El Bissimo
00:21:26
as well in Sailor. Yeah,
00:21:29
>> they were these Italian waiters. Kirsty
00:21:31
and I were on a date.
00:21:32
>> Dana.
00:21:33
>> Yeah.
00:21:33
>> Mhm.
00:21:34
>> Dana was in it, too. Yeah. You were dry
00:21:36
humping Victoria on the table behind us.
00:21:38
>> Yeah.
00:21:39
>> Right. That was that was illegal. I had
00:21:42
her legs up, but
00:21:44
>> it was crazy. I don't know how we got
00:21:46
away with a lot of stuff back then.
00:21:48
Well, Smiggle was told by the Census
00:21:51
Soup guy not to do that for the air
00:21:52
show,
00:21:53
>> and he faked like he was trying to
00:21:55
signal me right before 3 2 1 go.
00:21:58
>> I see him kind of waving. I just ignored
00:22:01
it.
00:22:02
>> But yeah, that was uh
00:22:05
>> perspective of Kevin is the date. I
00:22:07
didn't even remember that. It's Christy
00:22:09
Alley.
00:22:09
>> Christy Alley. Yeah.
00:22:10
>> Who said, "Yeah, can I lick your face?"
00:22:13
Oh, totally. For sure.
00:22:14
>> She was so gung-ho. This was flattering
00:22:17
that Marcelo from SNL was doing an
00:22:20
Italian waiter type sketch I think with
00:22:22
Pad Pad Pedro Mscal and so they said
00:22:26
look at this sketch as a kind of context
00:22:29
the one that you were in with me and
00:22:31
stuff
00:22:32
>> and he said yes it was better than ours
00:22:34
and we all said at the same time well we
00:22:37
got away with so much well got away you
00:22:39
could do a different stratum of comedy
00:22:41
back then you know and
00:22:43
>> I mean look at the penis sketch you know
00:22:45
hey nice penis said Denver, huh? That's
00:22:47
good penis town.
00:22:49
>> Yeah. Is that what you said? That's
00:22:51
>> It was a nudist colony and there was a
00:22:52
fence. So, we're all barechested. Tom
00:22:55
Hanks was in it, Kevin.
00:22:56
>> And we were all just commenting on,
00:22:58
"Hey, terrific penis." I mean, it went
00:23:00
on for like eight minutes.
00:23:01
>> The most penises in any sketch in
00:23:03
history, right?
00:23:04
>> Yeah.
00:23:05
>> Yeah. Dana and I also had an idea. We
00:23:07
used to kind of riff in our uh Dana
00:23:09
would stay over the garage sometimes
00:23:11
when he came down from San Francisco. He
00:23:12
had a studio apartment up there in this
00:23:13
house we we rented. But we would be out
00:23:16
in the driveway a lot and we would ref,
00:23:18
you know, for characters before either
00:23:19
one of us got SNL. And one of the one of
00:23:22
the characters were these two porn
00:23:25
actors getting made up sitting in the
00:23:27
director's chair in front of the mirrors
00:23:28
and the the makeup art the fluffers were
00:23:30
in and they were working down there and
00:23:33
we'd be just talking regularly like,
00:23:34
"Hey, uh, you know, so Ted, what are you
00:23:36
doing tomorrow?"
00:23:38
>> Yeah. Yeah. You know, I don't know. Just
00:23:40
going to hang out, whatever.
00:23:42
Yeah. Marcy, yeah. Give me a give me a
00:23:44
little more sparkle on the left side for
00:23:46
the people. Everything was for the
00:23:47
people. For the people.
00:23:49
>> Fluff it up real nice for the people.
00:23:51
And we did ended up doing it on SNL one
00:23:54
time, right? We did it on SNL.
00:23:56
>> Did we really? I don't even remember.
00:23:58
>> Maybe it didn't make it to air. Yeah. We
00:24:00
were bare chested. Yeah. Fluff it up
00:24:01
real nice. And then we started talking
00:24:03
about planting down there. Make a little
00:24:05
shrubbery around it, you know.
00:24:06
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, put some uh put some
00:24:09
uh strips on the side just to make it
00:24:11
look like it's going faster, you know,
00:24:13
>> for the people.
00:24:14
>> For the people.
00:24:15
>> Yeah, we had that was that didn't go
00:24:17
anywhere, but we have to you have on
00:24:21
lately Kevin on Twitter. Um Dana doesn't
00:24:25
look at Twitter as much. I follow Kevin
00:24:27
on
00:24:28
>> It's called X. Sorry.
00:24:31
>> Listen, I'm so hip. It's called Twitter.
00:24:34
Oh, wait. It's called X. They just
00:24:35
changed that 500 years ago.
00:24:37
>> So yeah, I see a lot of hear me now and
00:24:39
believe me later and it's good. No one's
00:24:42
I love a good Hans and Fron. So
00:24:45
>> well, we had more fun. We had so much
00:24:47
fun writing those two characters as Dana
00:24:49
will attest. I mean, we couldn't I mean
00:24:51
I never had more fun with a character
00:24:53
than writing those two.
00:24:55
>> I still find they're the fun. Well,
00:24:57
because Lauren once said to me, it's
00:24:59
like it's all about uh who's who's uh
00:25:03
you know, the most badass, you know, I'm
00:25:05
better than you. But secretly embedded
00:25:08
in it, which was a notion that when
00:25:10
Kevin and I are riffing was their
00:25:12
defensiveness and that's first we were
00:25:14
just doing it, we pump you up, this and
00:25:16
that. This is how I riffing on the
00:25:17
phone. And then Kevin spontaneously just
00:25:20
said, "And if you don't believe that we
00:25:22
could do this." So that unraveled a
00:25:25
million jokes because then we were had
00:25:27
imaginary enemies
00:25:30
>> assuming they're not respecting us and
00:25:33
then saying these torturous things we
00:25:36
would do if we we could very easily find
00:25:38
them and do these things. And that's to
00:25:40
me I've never gotten tired of that part
00:25:43
of it. We actually threatening to
00:25:45
torture people. I mean the one line that
00:25:47
I don't know who thought this one but it
00:25:49
never it was a perfect Hans in France.
00:25:52
Your butcks are like marshmallows.
00:25:54
You're lucky we don't have a campfire
00:25:56
here. So to unpack that is your butics
00:26:00
are like this and we are going to light
00:26:02
your ass on fire. Right is what they're
00:26:04
saying.
00:26:06
>> Right.
00:26:08
>> We'll make some s'mores out of you.
00:26:10
Yeah. That's right. You know but you
00:26:12
know in in in the long run they would
00:26:14
never do that. They would be too scared
00:26:17
and defensive.
00:26:18
>> Oh, no. They It was all a threat. They
00:26:21
never never left the studio.
00:26:22
>> Empty threats. Empty threats. Yeah.
00:26:25
>> I'll take that mic stand like your
00:26:27
little skinny arms and snap it.
00:26:29
>> Another one I liked was like we could
00:26:31
very easily strap the uh shape this flab
00:26:34
in your back into a rope ladder so you
00:26:37
could climb down into the sewer cuz
00:26:40
that's where losers live.
00:26:43
So it was like complete abstract
00:26:46
torturous.
00:26:48
>> I just like that everything is easy for
00:26:50
them. Like it wouldn't be hard at all.
00:26:52
>> Do you remember the Arnold one that
00:26:53
Arnold could very easily
00:26:56
>> flick us with his little finger
00:26:58
>> instead was flying across the room. So
00:27:00
you land in your own baby poop.
00:27:03
>> Baby poop.
00:27:06
>> All could very easily flip and you fly
00:27:08
across the room and land your own baby
00:27:10
poop. It's it's just poetry. I'm sorry.
00:27:12
It's It's We We're By the way, we should
00:27:15
plug We're going to do a couple of
00:27:16
dates. Uh one in um
00:27:19
>> southern Washington near Portland. I
00:27:21
don't know the name of the town. And
00:27:22
then we're going to do an outdoor
00:27:25
concert
00:27:26
>> at the Seattle Zoo Day on the Green. So
00:27:30
Kevin and I, we will Hans and France
00:27:33
will definitely uh
00:27:34
>> appear.
00:27:35
>> Yeah, cuz I want to make jokes about
00:27:37
Seattle. The Space Needle, you say it's
00:27:39
so large. We could use it like a little
00:27:41
toothpick. It doesn't make sense.
00:27:43
>> I would use that as a co job.
00:27:48
>> If the lion in the cage over there was
00:27:50
to be released, he would be snapped into
00:27:53
flubber more quickly than you could say
00:27:56
flubber flab. That's where Dana's Dana's
00:28:00
character became kind of I don't know
00:28:02
what it is.
00:28:04
You know, very teasy like a very koi.
00:28:07
>> I got really bored. The Pugid sounds
00:28:10
should be called puny sound
00:28:14
>> because they're so bad and they're their
00:28:16
their puns and threats are so ridiculous
00:28:19
and there's they're so self-satisfied
00:28:21
about them.
00:28:22
>> You guys roast Seattle. Hans and bronze
00:28:24
roast Seattle.
00:28:26
>> Yeah. Sorry about the homeless
00:28:29
situation, but at least some of them
00:28:31
have muscles.
00:28:34
>> Everyone goes too far.
00:28:36
>> Doesn't even make sense. What about you?
00:28:39
Were you in Bad Idea Jeans?
00:28:43
>> Uh,
00:28:45
>> I see that one. I I know Phil. I know
00:28:47
Mike.
00:28:48
>> We were all bleachers
00:28:51
>> about,
00:28:52
>> you know, I think I was I think I I
00:28:53
think I might have been in there. Why
00:28:55
don't you chat GBT?
00:28:56
>> I feel like you were, but I don't think
00:28:58
Dana was. But I see that sometimes. Bad
00:29:00
idea Jeans was a good funny one. I don't
00:29:02
know if it was Jack Handy or if it was
00:29:04
um Smile Man. There was one Kevin and I
00:29:07
did with Rob Schneider that it casually
00:29:10
would pop up and then it was like I
00:29:14
don't know three or four years ago was
00:29:15
it was at 16 million but in the in the
00:29:18
last two years or so it's gone up to 21
00:29:21
million,000 trillion.
00:29:22
>> It's so politically incorrect. Oh, is it
00:29:25
the security
00:29:26
>> security guards with Sharon Stone?
00:29:30
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:30
>> Doing so inappropriate and I'm doing
00:29:33
inappropriate comedy and they
00:29:35
>> I'm playing an Indian guy, you know. So,
00:29:38
>> me who cares?
00:29:41
>> They should they should be able to go
00:29:43
back and, you know, cancel you for
00:29:46
different things you did 30 years ago,
00:29:49
you know, like the Asian guy and the
00:29:51
Indian guy. Ching change the uh Asian
00:29:55
gentleman and who could be who would
00:29:57
think that was wrong.
00:29:59
>> Horrible man.
00:30:00
>> Well, it well it didn't harbor I stand
00:30:03
by it because it had no stereotypes.
00:30:05
There was no stereotypes in it. There's
00:30:06
no stereotype for a man who comes to
00:30:10
America to sell pet chickens but loves
00:30:12
them so much he doesn't want anyone to
00:30:14
buy them.
00:30:15
>> Nothing negative. He's happy.
00:30:17
>> Yeah. What about you,
00:30:19
>> David? What's your most risky bit? Mine
00:30:22
were all on edge.
00:30:24
>> I was the edgiest comic available.
00:30:27
>> You were you were so edgy that Eddie
00:30:28
Murphy threatened you.
00:30:30
>> Oh yeah. Okay. Yeah. I mean I I've seen
00:30:32
Hollywood Minute bits on TikTok or
00:30:35
wherever and I was like
00:30:38
some of them
00:30:40
>> it's hard draw the line between clever
00:30:43
and then a little too mean. And I think
00:30:46
Downey sometimes we'll ask him when he
00:30:47
comes on would push me a little bit.
00:30:49
What are you scared to go after this
00:30:51
guy? And I'm like, now you're getting
00:30:53
your anger at celebrities.
00:30:55
>> But then they always they hide in the
00:30:57
shadows. And then it's like even Ching
00:30:59
Change was Dana. First time I got a
00:31:01
writer's credit. Dana Carvey's Ching
00:31:04
Chang character. Most racist thing. And
00:31:07
I never got a writing credit till that
00:31:09
time.
00:31:10
>> Now you're the guy.
00:31:11
>> I have a funny story about Kevin that
00:31:14
remember when I got attacked in my
00:31:16
house?
00:31:17
It's not 100% your fault, but I don't
00:31:21
think I don't think it
00:31:22
>> Well, should we fill in the listeners or
00:31:23
they all know about the attack in the
00:31:25
house? So, I got
00:31:26
>> By the way, by the way, before you start
00:31:28
this, I'm writing a list of things that
00:31:30
people are telling about me, stories to
00:31:32
have at my eulogy, at my memorial that
00:31:35
people can talk about.
00:31:36
>> Makes you look bad, but it's fine. You
00:31:38
got to mix it up.
00:31:42
>> Mix it up. Uh, so
00:31:45
I I
00:31:46
>> this was during a hike on that hike we
00:31:48
were on. Like I came
00:31:49
>> I tell you the story.
00:31:51
>> Yeah,
00:31:52
>> I told it to you already
00:31:53
>> on that on that hike. Hiking with Kevin
00:31:56
which you both have been on.
00:31:57
>> I want to tell it again.
00:31:59
>> I see that with Kevin had different
00:32:02
hikers since. I thought it sort of I was
00:32:03
the grand finale, but nope.
00:32:05
>> The oneoff.
00:32:06
>> That's it going
00:32:07
>> there. Still you have some good guests
00:32:10
on there. You have some interesting
00:32:11
guests.
00:32:12
>> Yeah. Tom Hanks did it recently and
00:32:13
Brian Cranston.
00:32:15
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:16
>> A lot of good guests.
00:32:17
>> Julian Lennon.
00:32:19
>> Julian Lennon.
00:32:20
>> Was it Julian Lennon?
00:32:22
>> My favorite question asked Julian was um
00:32:25
um who is your favorite beetle?
00:32:28
>> He looked at me for a long time. And my
00:32:31
favorite question for Kaitlin Jenner was
00:32:33
Kaitlin, if you could change one thing
00:32:35
about yourself, what would you change?
00:32:38
>> I like you're like Theo. Like just the
00:32:41
question, no matter what the answer,
00:32:42
it's going to be clipped out cuz no
00:32:44
matter what they answer, it's a funny
00:32:46
setup.
00:32:47
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:48
>> When Theo asked uh Neil Degrassi, the
00:32:52
guy goes, "Do you think space is gay?"
00:32:55
>> And he's like, "Well, Theo, I
00:32:57
>> I haven't gotten that question before."
00:32:59
You know, it's like so stupid.
00:33:00
>> I know. And they're serious. I haven't
00:33:03
thought of what he answers yet. It's
00:33:04
just funny. Uh yeah. So, the quick story
00:33:07
is I got a guy that I worked with came
00:33:10
in and I had a disagreement with him in
00:33:12
my house. But the disagreement
00:33:17
was he was when Joe Dirt was printed
00:33:21
out. He worked with me. So, when someone
00:33:23
works there, he's printing out the
00:33:26
scripts to go out, but he read it. And
00:33:29
so, he goes, "Can I have dibs on this
00:33:31
part?" Now, he hadn't acted. He done a
00:33:34
little comedy or improv and he wanted to
00:33:36
get into comedy but that awkward thing
00:33:38
where you're like okay I want to help
00:33:40
you and I was new at having someone work
00:33:42
for me
00:33:43
>> and he goes it's not a big deal it's
00:33:45
like three pages or four pages which is
00:33:48
a big deal
00:33:49
>> it's not two lines
00:33:50
>> three four pages
00:33:51
>> that's a lot yeah if I go and he and he
00:33:53
didn't have any experience but I said if
00:33:55
I can I said I will try
00:33:58
>> because I see him every second of every
00:33:59
day so how can I just go [ __ ] no which I
00:34:01
just should have So, here comes the
00:34:04
movie. We're casting it. And then at the
00:34:08
toward the end, it's still open because
00:34:10
we're not actively trying to cast it
00:34:13
because I'm bananas for doing this,
00:34:15
keeping it open because we want every
00:34:17
best person for the part. So, Sandler
00:34:19
calls up and says, "Hey, I think Kevin
00:34:21
Nean would be good." Oh, yeah. Hello. Um
00:34:25
would be good for uh the guy that works
00:34:28
at the junkyard or whatever. Impound
00:34:30
your car. And I go, "Oh, that'd be
00:34:32
great." He said, "Can I tell him?" I
00:34:34
said, "Yeah, 100%." So, I tell the guy,
00:34:36
"Hey, listen. It's not going to work
00:34:37
out." He's like, "What the fuck?" That's
00:34:39
the first sign of trouble. He got really
00:34:41
mad. I go,
00:34:41
>> "Oh,
00:34:42
>> well, listen." He goes, "Tell Sandler
00:34:44
no." I go, "I I'm Listen,
00:34:47
here's He's producing the movie. He's
00:34:50
the reason it got made and Kevin Nean's
00:34:52
great. There's nothing wrong with this
00:34:54
situation. Like, unfortunately, it
00:34:57
didn't work out, but maybe the next one
00:34:59
we can doggy or something." But couldn't
00:35:00
you find a little thing for him?
00:35:02
Couldn't you shoehorn some?
00:35:03
>> Cuz in Tommy Boy, he had something, but
00:35:05
I think it was just a reaction shot. He
00:35:07
worked for Pete Seagull, the director.
00:35:09
That's how I met him. So anyway, that's
00:35:11
already Listen, the Red Flag store is
00:35:13
running out of business at this point
00:35:14
because we just there's so many red
00:35:15
flags I just disregard. Then I'm in
00:35:18
editing the night before it happens.
00:35:22
Kevin does it. We're watching his part.
00:35:24
He's like, "That's the guy that [ __ ]
00:35:25
me." And I'm like that this is not a
00:35:30
realistic thing.
00:35:30
>> This is not a normal assistant uh
00:35:33
language.
00:35:35
>> I didn't know this. I didn't notice
00:35:37
until years later when you finally told
00:35:39
me.
00:35:39
>> I know. I said you could have been
00:35:41
coming after me, too.
00:35:42
>> I know. I shield you guys. I shield you
00:35:44
from the world.
00:35:45
>> So anyway, that night is when it
00:35:48
happened. But it was just a normal
00:35:50
situation where he should have said,
00:35:52
"Hey, you know, Kevin's great and Kevin
00:35:54
was great." And so all in all, it's not
00:35:58
all Kevin's fault, but it's like 99%.
00:36:01
That's all.
00:36:03
>> I don't know why you promised him the
00:36:05
role, man. You should never promise the
00:36:06
role.
00:36:06
>> That's a problem. That was
00:36:09
>> I didn't promise. I said, "Listen, these
00:36:11
things are tricky. You never know."
00:36:13
That's a kind of
00:36:14
>> That's a That's a promise in Hollywood.
00:36:16
>> Yeah, it is. It is. It is.
00:36:17
>> That's every day. Like, so it's still
00:36:19
open. So,
00:36:20
>> you're not reading people for that? I'm
00:36:21
like, I don't [ __ ] I'm already in the
00:36:23
weeds. cuz I got bigger fish to fry. And
00:36:26
finally I'm like, "Oh, it might shake
00:36:27
out." Another promise.
00:36:30
And then uh I'm like egging it on going,
00:36:33
"I know Kevin kneeling. I don't know why
00:36:35
he's
00:36:36
he did this on purpose to you. Why
00:36:38
aren't you going to
00:36:38
>> sharp elbows? Kevin wanted it. What are
00:36:41
I going to do to him? He's beat me up
00:36:43
with his baby finger."
00:36:44
>> Yeah. Why didn't he go after Kevin? We
00:36:45
got some questions from the crowd. But
00:36:47
but you're you're kind of you're kind of
00:36:49
like you know
00:36:52
missing the lead part of the story is
00:36:53
how um violent he
00:36:58
reacted to that to you.
00:36:59
>> Yes. Yes. I show when the it built up
00:37:03
that cuz the first sign is when he says
00:37:06
tell Adam what the [ __ ] tell him no.
00:37:08
Call him right now. Tell him no. [ __ ]
00:37:10
that. It's not his movie. I go it. Who
00:37:13
would say that? I go,
00:37:15
>> Adam can ask anything, but he's really
00:37:18
hands off. He's saying, "This is your
00:37:20
movie.
00:37:21
>> You You and Fred wrote it. Do Do your
00:37:23
best with it. If you need help, tell me,
00:37:25
but we had good
00:37:27
>> Oh, you and Fred wrote it." Okay.
00:37:29
>> Freddy Wolf.
00:37:30
>> Hey. Hey, David. You're funny. You're
00:37:32
You're good, too. I remember.
00:37:33
>> David, can we get Canva
00:37:38
managing Skippy right now?
00:37:39
>> That was uh really good. No, no, not not
00:37:41
really good. You're good. You're You're
00:37:42
not
00:37:42
>> Kevin. I'm going to talk about you one
00:37:43
second. I just want to tell Dana one
00:37:44
thing.
00:37:45
>> Yeah.
00:37:46
>> Mhm.
00:37:46
>> He's also the uh Fred Fred Wolf is also
00:37:49
the um uh disclaimer guy. You know I I
00:37:52
didn't ask you because and it's nothing
00:37:54
about you and um you know but I think
00:37:56
that you know maybe somebody and again
00:37:58
you know you are my favorite person but
00:38:00
I don't think that you would be maybe
00:38:02
right for this role and you're right for
00:38:04
a lot of roles. I mean don't get me
00:38:05
wrong you're right for a lot of roles.
00:38:06
>> You'd be good in anything you did but
00:38:08
>> it's just this one right now. Yeah, we
00:38:11
could have used him with uh that you're
00:38:13
you're a guy. Bring in Fred Wolf. You
00:38:15
know, you're great. We're gonna you have
00:38:17
I have so so many good ideas for you in
00:38:19
the next film. You know, kind of kind of
00:38:20
>> I think what I fed while I was getting
00:38:22
the [ __ ] kicked out of me by that night,
00:38:23
I was like, "Blame Fred. He didn't want
00:38:26
you."
00:38:28
>> Well, being like a canary. and the
00:38:31
broadstrokes. If if you've ever, you
00:38:34
know, had someone in your life and then
00:38:36
you realize that they were quietly,
00:38:39
secretly harboring a lot of grudges.
00:38:42
>> Yeah.
00:38:42
>> You know, and it stored up grudgery, you
00:38:45
know, later on. Whoa. I had no idea.
00:38:48
Yeah.
00:38:48
>> Yeah. It was a little anger and it was b
00:38:51
it was starting to point towards me, but
00:38:54
whatever. We got through it.
00:38:56
>> Whatever. Anyway,
00:38:58
>> would you guys would you guys want to
00:39:00
Would you want to know who has a grudge
00:39:03
against you? Or would you rather not
00:39:04
know?
00:39:05
>> No, I don't think so.
00:39:07
>> You do want to know, Heather.
00:39:08
>> The outcome.
00:39:09
>> Oh, that's reminds us of this great
00:39:12
Kiana Rooves Reeves movie called The
00:39:14
Outcome.
00:39:16
>> The David is
00:39:17
>> he is being
00:39:19
blackmailed with a videotape and he's a
00:39:22
big star in the movie, Kevin. And his
00:39:25
movie is about to come out and this will
00:39:26
ruin it. So is Jonah Hill
00:39:30
>> manager lawyer says, "Hey, go back and
00:39:33
apologize to everyone you were mean to
00:39:35
on the way up and this might just go
00:39:37
away. People are just mad at you." And
00:39:39
he's like, "Oh." So he has to go back.
00:39:41
He's like, "Who's mad at me?" Cuz he's
00:39:43
delusional cuz he's such a big star. And
00:39:45
they're like, "Oh, we have a list of
00:39:46
about 45 people." So he goes back to his
00:39:50
child star manager
00:39:52
played by Scorsese who lives in a
00:39:54
bowling alley and he has to apologize to
00:39:56
him.
00:39:57
was good and
00:39:58
>> he was good. He was good.
00:40:00
>> He goes like this. Uh again was like,
00:40:03
"Hey, I just wanted to say uh I'm just
00:40:06
really sorry." And he goes, "Thanks,
00:40:08
Reef. Sorry for what?" And he goes, "Uh"
00:40:13
they didn't coach him that far, so he's
00:40:15
like, "I don't know." And he goes, "You
00:40:16
know, Reef," and then he explains to him
00:40:18
why he should be sorry for what he did.
00:40:20
And then he goes to his ex-girlfriend,
00:40:22
then his mom, and then
00:40:23
>> it just it's really like kind of a
00:40:26
that's the dramdy part because it gets a
00:40:28
it gets pretty heavy. But yeah, in in
00:40:30
answer to your question,
00:40:32
>> uh I don't know if I would want to know
00:40:35
everyone.
00:40:36
>> I would here's what I would like to
00:40:37
know. What level of fan are people that
00:40:40
come up to me? Because people sometimes
00:40:43
they go, I'm a big fan. They don't know
00:40:45
one thing I've ever done. So they're
00:40:46
like a one out of a hundred. But then
00:40:49
there's people that you can tell that
00:40:50
really like you.
00:40:51
>> But some people just go, "Oh, hey." And
00:40:53
I they get a picture and they walk away
00:40:55
and they're like, "I hate that guy."
00:40:57
>> Because But they just know they just
00:40:58
seen you somewhere. They don't know why.
00:41:00
Some people go, "I'm taking a picture
00:41:02
cuz they did.
00:41:03
>> I'll find out later what you do."
00:41:06
The other thing is I I dread like when I
00:41:09
was starting out I have to use the
00:41:10
public rest you know the restroom that
00:41:12
the rest of the audience used and I'd be
00:41:14
in the stall and after my show and I
00:41:16
hear people coming in and go wow the
00:41:18
opener was so much better than the
00:41:19
headliner man this is a waste of money
00:41:21
and you know I don't want to know I
00:41:23
don't want to hide under the bed and
00:41:25
hear somebody you know talk about me. I
00:41:27
went I did a hike with Lin Manuel
00:41:29
Miranda you know who wrote Hamilton.
00:41:31
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:41:33
And I was using uh one of those um you
00:41:36
know mics that you hook to your collar
00:41:38
or whatever. It was the first time.
00:41:40
Yeah. First time I was using it. And we
00:41:42
finished the hike and I forgot to take
00:41:44
his off
00:41:45
>> and I had to chase him down like a half
00:41:47
hour later. I called his manager and he
00:41:49
goes, "Oh yeah, okay." He's on the
00:41:50
corner, you know, 90 and you know,
00:41:53
whatever it was. And uh so I'm walking.
00:41:56
I took me like a half hour to get to him
00:41:57
and I know that everything he said is on
00:42:00
that recorder for that half hour and I
00:42:03
never listened to it cuz I didn't want
00:42:04
to know.
00:42:05
>> Could we listen to it?
00:42:05
>> I didn't want to know what he said.
00:42:06
Sure. It's out there now.
00:42:07
>> I've heard some clips from it. It's not
00:42:09
great, dude.
00:42:11
>> It's not great, man. It's not great.
00:42:14
>> Yeah.
00:42:15
>> It's next to my UFO tapes that never got
00:42:19
released. I'm like, Release the Nean
00:42:21
tapes.
00:42:22
>> No, let me tell you something about
00:42:24
UFOs. You know, there's been all of this
00:42:25
stuff about the releasing, you know, UFO
00:42:28
stuff from the government.
00:42:30
>> It doesn't Nothing matters to me now
00:42:32
with AI. It's like that's not real.
00:42:34
That's not real.
00:42:36
>> I see it. I think it's AI.
00:42:37
>> That's true.
00:42:38
>> In the air.
00:42:40
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Even if you're in the
00:42:41
thing, you're being kidnapped. No, this
00:42:42
is AI.
00:42:44
>> I go, proved it to me. And then they
00:42:46
anally massage me or whatever.
00:42:49
How would you know about that, David?
00:42:52
Why? Why? Why? Why are you saying that?
00:42:54
Have you seen the doctor when he's with
00:42:55
the girl? And she goes, "I'm having a
00:42:57
little soreness
00:42:59
on my anus around the uh entrance." And
00:43:02
he goes, "Oh, well, that's actually an
00:43:05
exit." So, the quicker you change the
00:43:07
traffic, the quicker the pain will go
00:43:09
away.
00:43:12
>> That's horrible.
00:43:13
>> That's great.
00:43:14
>> That's horrible.
00:43:16
>> What kind of people are you hanging out
00:43:18
with?
00:43:19
>> Squeaming.
00:43:22
Can I tell you my uh hiking story? That
00:43:25
was out of character for me. So, I'm
00:43:27
hiking. I'm hiking, hiking, and I see
00:43:29
like eight people and they're going to
00:43:32
take a picture and I normally don't do
00:43:34
this, but I go, I'll take it, you know.
00:43:36
Yeah, we want video. So, it was eight of
00:43:38
them. And they start they sang happy
00:43:40
birthday till Sylvester. Happy birthday,
00:43:42
big thing. Oh, looks great. And I don't
00:43:44
know why I was just I guess I was kind
00:43:45
of on a buzz from hiking so hard. And I
00:43:48
just did Stallone to them. I want to
00:43:50
thank you very much for saying happy
00:43:52
birthday to me. And then I just walked
00:43:54
away and they yelled down the trail and
00:43:56
they said, "Hey, wait a minute. Are you
00:43:58
that guy?"
00:44:00
>> That was it. They didn't have a name.
00:44:02
They didn't have anything.
00:44:03
>> Yeah, that's
00:44:04
Isn't that a great story?
00:44:07
>> Here's here's a here's a fun story if
00:44:09
you want to hear that. Going along those
00:44:10
lines, I would go down to Austin uh
00:44:13
every year and this, by the way, this
00:44:15
you call him DJ still? this guy um he's
00:44:18
like the Howard Stern.
00:44:20
>> He's like the Howard Stern of Austin.
00:44:22
And uh he uh and I do his show like
00:44:24
every year, you know, for like years
00:44:26
I've been doing it and we usually go out
00:44:27
for lunch after that. So we uh the last
00:44:30
time I was there, this is like four
00:44:31
years ago when I did the show. We do the
00:44:33
show and then we go out to lunch and
00:44:35
we're sitting there for like half hour
00:44:37
and he he goes, "You know what I noticed
00:44:39
about you? You're not getting recognized
00:44:41
as as much anymore."
00:44:43
>> Oh my god.
00:44:44
>> And I thought, you know what? You're
00:44:46
right. you're right. He goes, "Yeah,
00:44:48
heads used to turn a lot, but now it see
00:44:49
like people are looking at their menus,
00:44:51
you know, and I thought, you know what?
00:44:52
He's right. No matter, that's why I've
00:44:54
been feeling so good lately."
00:44:56
>> Yeah. I had someone say to me, they
00:44:58
said, you know, I was at like this
00:45:01
Grammy party and my friend's wife goes,
00:45:03
"You know what? You were so goodness.
00:45:06
Why don't you get back out there? Get
00:45:08
back and do stuff again." I go, "I'll
00:45:12
knock you out." I had a woman at an
00:45:14
airport get in front of me and goes,
00:45:16
"You're better than all the rest of
00:45:19
them." And just walked away.
00:45:21
>> That's a compliment.
00:45:23
>> I told my sister, "Leave me alone."
00:45:26
>> But Kevin, to that guy, was he being
00:45:28
passive aggressive to point that out?
00:45:31
>> That's weird.
00:45:31
>> Or was he just sort of naive and
00:45:33
whimsical?
00:45:34
>> I think it was naive and he was just he
00:45:36
might have been even joking even, you
00:45:37
know. But um here's here's something if
00:45:39
you want to get brought down a lot is go
00:45:42
on uh chat GBT and ask the question uh
00:45:46
are you handsome?
00:45:48
>> Oh no.
00:45:48
>> Is Dana Carvey handsome and see what
00:45:50
they say.
00:45:51
>> [ __ ] off.
00:45:52
>> My son did that. My son did that to me.
00:45:55
>> Oh no.
00:45:57
>> Yeah. Yeah. And it said well you know it
00:46:00
depends on what you mean by handsome,
00:46:02
you know.
00:46:05
>> Well I was at a resort. I was at a
00:46:07
resort doing a doing a gig and you had
00:46:09
been there the year before, some kind of
00:46:11
gig, whatever. And the woman in the
00:46:14
sports shack or whatever. Oh, yeah.
00:46:15
Kevin, you know, yeah, I'm a friend of
00:46:16
his. He goes, I didn't realize how
00:46:18
good-looking he was. Oh, look at that.
00:46:23
Look at that.
00:46:24
>> I did have a guy at I had a guy at the
00:46:26
airport once say to me, "Hey, you're a
00:46:28
lot better looking on TV." But I think
00:46:30
he meant the other way around, you know.
00:46:33
No. In Scottsdale last week, I'm leaving
00:46:35
Houston's.
00:46:37
I love Houston's. And uh lady walks to
00:46:40
me and she goes, "You look like that guy
00:46:43
in Grown-Ups, you know the guy, he's a
00:46:45
little taller. Do you know who he is?" I
00:46:47
go, "Which guy, Sandler?" And he goes,
00:46:49
she goes, "No, he plays the blonde guy
00:46:51
in it." And I go, "Oh, yeah, I have
00:46:54
heard that." And he she goes, "But he's
00:46:55
a little taller than you." I go, "A
00:46:58
little or a lot?" He goes, "He's he's
00:47:01
he's kind of tall, but you sound like
00:47:03
him." Never figured it out. I had the
00:47:06
same thing. I had a woman in the store
00:47:08
and she goes, "You you look just like
00:47:10
Dana Carvey." I go, "I know. It's weird.
00:47:12
It's weird." And she just kept going. I
00:47:15
I mean, I can't even believe it. Me
00:47:16
neither. But yeah, you know,
00:47:18
>> I know you never Yeah.
00:47:20
>> I get Norm. I get Norm once in a while.
00:47:24
>> Yeah. Cuz we both did SNL, I think. You
00:47:27
know. Oh. Oh, up there.
00:47:28
>> Yeah. Fell over there. Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:30
People love Nor McDonald, you know, in
00:47:33
the post Nor McDonald. I mean, it's just
00:47:36
he really has become a legend.
00:47:38
>> He got bigger. Yeah, for sure.
00:47:40
>> Yeah, definitely. And I've seen stuff
00:47:41
he's doing that I never saw before.
00:47:43
That's hilarious.
00:47:44
>> Exactly. I see [ __ ] like his talk show
00:47:48
that's like a podcast with Adam Egan and
00:47:50
I'm like, "Oh, they have funny guests.
00:47:52
They make the guests read a dirty joke."
00:47:53
I'm like, "The balls." But the fans that
00:47:56
go on that are fans of Norm that are
00:47:57
famous go along with it and it's so
00:47:59
funny.
00:48:01
>> There's one recently up that he's got
00:48:03
he's got Mike Tyson on his show and he's
00:48:06
clearly kind of agitating Mike Tyson in
00:48:09
his own Norm way. Yeah, his best
00:48:11
heavyweight champion or whatever he said
00:48:13
and there was a lot of tension there
00:48:15
with Norm and it makes him um
00:48:18
>> mesmerizing to watch.
00:48:19
>> He goes on the View. They play him on
00:48:21
Conan a lot. Old talk shows. I I I took
00:48:23
him I took him to uh Palm Springs once
00:48:25
for a golf clinic cuz we both like to
00:48:27
golf even though we both suck. So, you
00:48:30
know, all the way out there he's
00:48:31
listening to Johnny Cash with his
00:48:33
barefoot out the window cuz he doesn't
00:48:34
drive, you know, got to drive him
00:48:36
everywhere. He's always late. I can't
00:48:38
find my shoes, you know. So, we get out
00:48:40
there and we're doing this golf clinic
00:48:41
with these professionals and they're
00:48:42
videotaping us our swings and
00:48:44
everything. By the end of the golf
00:48:45
clinic, we're looking at the swings, you
00:48:47
know, the pro is showing us what we're
00:48:49
doing wrong and all that and he's
00:48:51
arguing with the pro. No, that's what
00:48:53
I'm doing. You know that's No, this way
00:48:55
is better for me. I said, Norm, this
00:48:57
guy's a pro.
00:49:00
You know,
00:49:01
>> you deflate.
00:49:03
>> He knows that's funny. Yeah, the one on
00:49:05
the view where he goes, "Yeah, Bill
00:49:07
Clinton, he was great except he killed a
00:49:09
guy, you know, and Barbara Walters was
00:49:11
like, well, we can't What are you
00:49:13
talking about?" No, I'm I'm just saying
00:49:15
he killed a guy, right? I mean, it's not
00:49:18
good. It's not a good thing. I'm not
00:49:19
saying it's a good thing. what you want
00:49:21
from your president.
00:49:22
>> But yeah, the clips of of Norm are
00:49:25
hysterical on Conan, too, with the the
00:49:27
oldfashioned
00:49:29
story. This guy had a shoe, right? And
00:49:32
he lost it in a tra and it goes on and
00:49:34
on.
00:49:34
>> Little Johnny goes to school one day.
00:49:37
>> This fella, this fella.
00:49:39
>> Yeah.
00:49:39
>> Yeah. When he does knickknack Patty
00:49:41
Whack, he does that joke, but I like the
00:49:44
beginning. He goes, he goes into a bank
00:49:46
and the the woman's name is Mrs. Whack.
00:49:49
So that's her name. This is W. I'm like,
00:49:52
well, this is going to be part of the
00:49:53
joke at some point, I guess.
00:49:55
>> Was he the one that did the joke about
00:49:57
Hitler's dog?
00:49:58
>> How the dog liked him?
00:50:00
>> He didn't know.
00:50:02
>> Yeah, he had a lot of Hitler.
00:50:04
>> Yeah. Did you guys ever do Hitler Hitler
00:50:06
bits? Did you have a Hitler joke in your
00:50:08
act ever?
00:50:09
>> The closest I came to that is Hans and
00:50:12
France.
00:50:13
>> Yeah.
00:50:15
>> No, I never did a Hitler joke. I had one
00:50:18
but it
00:50:19
>> go ahead give us anymore. No, it was
00:50:21
just the observation. Hitler screaming
00:50:24
every time we see him.
00:50:26
And I say, I do this for a living. And I
00:50:28
mean, you backstage, he had to be just
00:50:30
wiped out. Just almost feminine like,
00:50:33
oh, oh, him.
00:50:36
>> I can't.
00:50:37
>> Yeah, it is. I can't feel my deltoid.
00:50:41
Whoever thought of this, shoot him. I
00:50:43
can't take it.
00:50:45
>> Two shows a night either. It's too hard.
00:50:48
But yeah, it's hard to come up with an
00:50:50
original Hitler joke.
00:50:51
>> Kevin, I have one of my follow my one of
00:50:52
my final questions. Do you do two shows
00:50:54
a night?
00:50:56
>> Uh, yes, except on Sunday.
00:50:58
>> Comedy clubs.
00:51:00
>> Yeah, I do two shows and arenas. I do
00:51:02
two shows in arenas as well.
00:51:04
>> And how long do you do
00:51:07
>> a set if you're doing two shows? You do
00:51:09
45?
00:51:10
>> I do about an hour and 10 minutes.
00:51:12
>> You do both times? Twice?
00:51:15
>> Yeah.
00:51:16
>> Wow.
00:51:16
>> Yeah. Yeah. I do. In fact, I'm getting
00:51:18
to that point. Here's I started with an
00:51:20
MC, you know, as you always do. It's a
00:51:22
threeman act or three woman act or
00:51:23
whatever.
00:51:24
>> And um
00:51:26
>> and so I thought I don't really need an
00:51:28
MC because one time the MC said this man
00:51:30
needs no introduction. I thought, you
00:51:32
know, this guy's right. We don't need
00:51:33
him on the show.
00:51:36
So, um sorry. So, anyway, I thought I'll
00:51:40
just do a twoman show from now on. So, I
00:51:42
did a twoman show. And now I'm thinking
00:51:44
I don't really need another person
00:51:47
because I know Bill Maher used to do
00:51:48
that. He would just come out and do his
00:51:50
set and um you know it makes kind of
00:51:53
sense.
00:51:54
>> But is it more fun?
00:51:55
>> No opener. Yeah.
00:51:57
>> No opener. And I don't even have an
00:51:58
introduction. I just have them play the
00:52:00
music like for a little bit and then I
00:52:02
just walk out. It's real jazzy the way I
00:52:04
do that.
00:52:05
>> Do you dance around a little bit or
00:52:07
something? What are you doing?
00:52:08
>> No. No. I come out and I receive the
00:52:09
applause. I accept it. I you know I
00:52:12
thank them. washed over you.
00:52:14
>> I let it settle in and then I take the
00:52:16
mic out and they stop the music and all
00:52:19
systems go
00:52:22
into the microphone. So ahead he uses a
00:52:25
banjo I saw in the latest clips. What's
00:52:26
going on?
00:52:28
>> Oh, that was the bit that was uh I cut
00:52:30
from my special
00:52:31
>> which is called Loose in the Crotch.
00:52:33
>> Was that Was that the banjo that I got
00:52:35
you for your 50th?
00:52:37
>> No, no, no. But you and um you and Gary
00:52:40
uh Prince, a guy that we knew um who has
00:52:42
since passed, gave me a great Gibson
00:52:45
banjo for my guitar. I think it was uh
00:52:47
60 at the time or 50.
00:52:48
>> Prescription Fitness,
00:52:50
>> whatever.
00:52:51
>> That's right. Yeah. So that I was just
00:52:53
going to say, so the banjo part was when
00:52:56
I grew up, nobody liked um the banjo. It
00:52:58
was very annoying. So I had to play it
00:53:00
very quietly in my room with like a sock
00:53:01
tied around the neck. But now I like to
00:53:04
go I play it everywhere now and I just
00:53:05
let loose on it and I have so much fun.
00:53:07
Would you like to hear a song? Sure.
00:53:09
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I have them bring
00:53:10
the banjo out to me and I sit down and I
00:53:13
playing very softly. They can't even
00:53:15
hear it barely. My foot stomping is
00:53:17
louder than the banjo itself
00:53:21
>> and then they and then they take the
00:53:22
banjo away or do you actually show them
00:53:24
that you can
00:53:26
>> they want to see I do the whole song. I
00:53:28
get everybody going like that. I get the
00:53:30
clapping going and um and I tell them to
00:53:33
keep it quiet. I go,
00:53:36
>> break it down. Break it down.
00:53:38
>> Yeah.
00:53:38
>> Yeah. And then at the end I my roies
00:53:40
come out and they take the banjo from
00:53:41
me. I just hold it up and they take it
00:53:43
>> and uh and I go back to the mic.
00:53:46
>> But I cut that out. Do you and Dana both
00:53:49
have if you, let's say you're doing Ohio
00:53:51
in three days, Columbus,
00:53:55
do you call and say have a banjo or a
00:53:58
guitar there?
00:54:00
>> You know what? Uh, you could do that.
00:54:02
Most people like their own instruments,
00:54:04
but I'll tell you what, I I I I like a
00:54:08
green room that's comfortable. You know,
00:54:10
the green room, I like something in
00:54:11
there that's comfortable. A lot of those
00:54:12
green rooms have those big white
00:54:14
fluorescent lights on the on the ceiling
00:54:16
with no lamps or anything or floor
00:54:17
lamps. So, I just added this to my
00:54:20
writer that they got to have a floor
00:54:22
lamp with a dimmer cuz I like to kind of
00:54:24
chill before I go on.
00:54:25
>> You know, a little meditation or
00:54:26
whatever just kind of snooze
00:54:28
>> and you know, you can get a cheap cheap
00:54:31
floor lamp from Target probably for you
00:54:34
know $42.
00:54:35
>> They say we're going to have to take
00:54:36
away your Triscuits you want. So, it's a
00:54:39
>> Yeah. Could I tell you a tactic to get a
00:54:41
standing ovation? So, what I do I I used
00:54:44
to say, "Get me a guitar that can be
00:54:46
plugged in, electrified." But now I say
00:54:48
a tailor because they don't go out of
00:54:50
tune. But at the end of your act, you're
00:54:52
doing your guitar, your banjo. Bum bum
00:54:54
bum. And you're you're doing a song
00:54:56
about them. WOW. WOW. WOW. BAM. And then
00:54:59
I take the neck of the guitar and I hold
00:55:02
it up. So I'm like it's like a torch.
00:55:04
I'm like t but I see people as I bring
00:55:07
the guitar up they tend to stand up with
00:55:10
it. So you could just at the end go the
00:55:12
banjo AND GO GOOD NIGHT AND THEN JUST
00:55:15
HOLD IT LIKE this and you'll get a
00:55:18
standing ovation every time.
00:55:20
>> I'm not kidding.
00:55:21
>> I don't like I don't like a standing
00:55:23
ovation. It it it feels very
00:55:25
uncomfortable for me,
00:55:27
>> you know, to be adored that much.
00:55:29
>> Yeah.
00:55:30
>> And I just don't like to stay out there.
00:55:32
It's just like with the good nights on
00:55:33
SNL. I hated going up there and waving
00:55:36
goodbye and and people would be
00:55:38
jockeying to get to the front, you know,
00:55:40
to stand next to the host and I'm like
00:55:42
in the back. Lauren had to have uh Marcy
00:55:44
Klein come running after me climbing
00:55:45
says Lauren wants you on the stage and
00:55:47
I'm like
00:55:48
>> Lauren wants you on the stage. But
00:55:49
people don't realize there's a dress
00:55:51
show and we we do the good nights a fake
00:55:53
good nights two hours before and then we
00:55:56
got to do it again like oh hugging. Oh,
00:55:58
I can't believe it. Yeah,
00:55:59
>> Marcy. It was a lie. Marc used to come
00:56:02
in mind. Get out there. Lauren wants
00:56:03
you. I'm like, there's no way Lauren was
00:56:05
out there. Somehow figured out I wasn't
00:56:08
there yet. And go Marcy get spayed.
00:56:12
>> Yeah.
00:56:13
>> And I believed it every time. Like
00:56:15
Lauren ran out there.
00:56:18
>> I mean, it's same with the weekend
00:56:19
update. You know, you do all those jokes
00:56:20
in the dress and then you kind of it's
00:56:22
an act and then you do in the live show
00:56:24
and you laugh in the same places like
00:56:26
that's the first time you've heard it,
00:56:27
you know.
00:56:28
>> But it is an act. We're really
00:56:30
>> Yeah, that's a It is a show business.
00:56:34
>> All right, get it.
00:56:36
>> What else do you have for Kevin? And
00:56:37
we're going to talk. We're gonna plug uh
00:56:39
the special loose in the crotch.
00:56:41
>> I got the hiking with hiking with Kevin
00:56:42

00:56:44
done and numerous times with Dana.
00:56:46
>> We were great. Hiking with Kevin.
00:56:48
>> Sping to do it again sometime when he uh
00:56:52
>> uh gets up some energy.
00:56:53
>> Slightly downhill. Not even flat
00:56:55
anymore.
00:56:56
>> I swear to God, I'll have a car waiting
00:56:57
at the bottom for you. Yeah. Yeah. Just
00:56:59
go down.
00:56:59
>> I would I would do it. And well, we get
00:57:01
one of those uh a wagon, like a little
00:57:03
kids wagon, and we Spade sits in the
00:57:05
wagon and we pull him up the hill. It's
00:57:08
three of us doing it.
00:57:09
>> We pull you up.
00:57:10
>> I like that. I like that. So, that's on

00:58:03
It's called I exaggerate my brushes with
00:58:05
fame, right? And there's there's
00:58:07
pictures of everybody in there. And on
00:58:08
the opposite page is an anecdote about
00:58:10
that person, whether it's Farley or or
00:58:11
you or or whomever. And um people are
00:58:14
asking me, they said, "Oh, where can we
00:58:16

00:58:18
a place. So, I created a a site on
00:58:20
