>> Yeah. No, no, I was gonna say, so I

00:03:29

>> Yeah, exactly.

00:03:30

>> Yeah.

00:03:31

>> Okay.

00:03:33

>> Yeah. Exactly right. Yeah.

00:03:35

>> Yes. So, because I've seen people in the

00:03:37

studio with you.

00:03:39

>> Yeah.

00:03:40

>> This is my house, Dennis, and this is a

00:03:42

studio if we need it. And Dana lives in

00:03:45

a mansion about three hours away.

00:03:48

I'm on a I'm on a farm, but I can get

00:03:51

there.

00:03:52

>> I'm on a farm, too.

00:03:54

>> You're not just saying that.

00:03:56

>> No, I'm on a farm. I'm on a farm. A

00:03:58

horse farm.

00:03:59

>> Oh, okay. We got a couple horses right

00:04:02

now. Long story short, but yeah.

00:04:04

>> Is your wife

00:04:06

>> my wife?

00:04:08

Is your wife a rider?

00:04:10

>> I thought you said, is she around?

00:04:11

>> Is she around?

00:04:12

>> I said she's in the car. talk to your

00:04:14

wife for a second.

00:04:17

>> But look, if people request going into

00:04:20

the studio live, I will almost always

00:04:23

try to make it, you know,

00:04:25

>> almost always try.

00:04:27

>> A lot of people who thought you were be

00:04:29

in Boston, so you wouldn't want to make

00:04:31

the trip out, but somebody's been doing

00:04:34

some local podcasts.

00:04:36

>> Oh, yeah.

00:04:37

>> How aren't you? Where are you now? I'm

00:04:39

in right now I'm in New York.

00:04:43

>> Interesting.

00:04:43

>> Yes.

00:04:44

>> Where's your precious farm?

00:04:45

>> What state?

00:04:46

>> The farm is in New York. It's right

00:04:48

outside the city.

00:04:50

>> It's a long story. I'm a city. I'm a

00:04:52

city kid and I and I always was. I was

00:04:54

born and raised in the city. But my wife

00:04:57

um uh you know wanted to once we got

00:05:01

money, my wife met me when we had

00:05:03

nothing. Um once we got money, she

00:05:05

wanted to ride horses and she became a

00:05:07

competitive rider. So we always had

00:05:09

horses. Now when the kids grew up, they

00:05:13

refused to come visit us on that farm,

00:05:15

which was like three hours out of the

00:05:17

city. So we moved closer to the city

00:05:19

with a little tiny farm with a couple of

00:05:22

ponies.

00:05:23

>> Wait a minute. So you had no money

00:05:26

basically.

00:05:27

>> No money, no credit card.

00:05:29

>> This woman called your wife now,

00:05:31

>> this amazing woman

00:05:32

>> liked you who's amazing with no money.

00:05:36

>> No money. No, no money. No credit cards,

00:05:39

nothing. I didn't have

00:05:40

>> and no real possibilities for any kind

00:05:43

of success.

00:05:43

>> I mean, think about it really. Like,

00:05:45

think about the Boston comedy scene in

00:05:47

1985 or 88.

00:05:49

>> Yeah. She probably dated Lenny Clark.

00:05:52

>> Yeah, exactly.

00:05:53

>> Jimmy Tingle.

00:05:54

>> Yeah. We were all getting paid under the

00:05:56

table at at a at a club run by Lenny

00:05:59

Clark's brother, Mike. That's what we

00:06:01

did for a living.

00:06:03

>> This what I want to ask you just that

00:06:05

we're here right now. is just the Boston

00:06:08

scene.

00:06:09

>> Yeah.

00:06:09

>> And who's carrying the torch for

00:06:11

whatever you call that?

00:06:14

>> You know, you had your quirkies. You had

00:06:16

Paula Poundstone. You had Bobcat Gwe.

00:06:18

>> All right.

00:06:19

>> You had Stephen Wright.

00:06:20

>> Stephen Wright. Steven Wright was the

00:06:22

start of it all.

00:06:23

>> He was the big one.

00:06:24

>> But a lot of hulking like kind of badass

00:06:27

type.

00:06:28

>> Yeah.

00:06:29

>> You know, rough and tumble clubs. I saw

00:06:31

the documentary. You fight. you you

00:06:33

throwing chairs and

00:06:34

>> and you were part of that wave.

00:06:36

>> I mean,

00:06:38

>> where did where's that coming from?

00:06:39

Should I visit Boston or watch my back

00:06:41

or what? What what's all the anger?

00:06:43

>> Well, I don't know. They again, that's

00:06:45

one of those things that people

00:06:46

constantly ask me, Bill Burr, you know,

00:06:50

[ __ ] uh they asked Bobcat, too,

00:06:53

because Bobcat there was a lot of anger

00:06:54

in Bobcat's act.

00:06:56

>> Zoinks.

00:06:57

>> Uh yeah.

00:06:58

>> Yeah. A lot of

00:06:59

>> I think it's just a lot

00:07:00

>> though.

00:07:02

>> Yeah. Really? I mean, great scene,

00:07:04

>> right? But some of the funniest people

00:07:06

weren't angry people. Steve Wright

00:07:08

wasn't angry. That was a

00:07:09

>> No, no, it was just amazing.

00:07:11

>> That was a beautiful like pristine ha

00:07:14

coup act. I mean, just amazing act,

00:07:16

right?

00:07:18

>> Paula Brownstone. Paula was just like

00:07:20

really so um you know open and friendly

00:07:23

to the she used to sit you know the rest

00:07:25

of us are attacking the audience like

00:07:27

like we want to kill them and she sits

00:07:30

on a stool and opens up and everybody

00:07:32

[ __ ] loves her.

00:07:33

>> Yeah.

00:07:33

>> So

00:07:34

>> you know it was weird

00:07:36

>> very fast. I used to do a bit because I

00:07:38

just thought of an angry comedian and

00:07:40

and uh

00:07:41

>> I know this guy. I know this character.

00:07:43

>> And then and then this guy gets really

00:07:45

rich and famous but still has to find

00:07:49

ways to be angry,

00:07:51

>> you know? And I did this bit and then

00:07:53

people thought I was doing Bill, but I

00:07:55

started thinking of it in the 90s.

00:07:57

>> Yeah, I know, right?

00:07:58

>> You know what drives me [ __ ] nuts.

00:08:00

What drives me out of my [ __ ] mind?

00:08:02

Meet a mates. What are you driving a

00:08:03

[ __ ] golf cut? I need a parking

00:08:05

ticket. What are you gonna get a nine

00:08:07

iron in there? The [ __ ] You know you

00:08:09

know what drives me out of my [ __ ]

00:08:11

mind? pickles cyclone fences. You can't

00:08:14

get a regular [ __ ] fence. So anyway,

00:08:16

that was the bit. And uh

00:08:19

>> I love that guy. I love that character.

00:08:21

>> I love being in that attitude because

00:08:23

it's not me. I'm a people pleaser and

00:08:25

and hopelessly whatever. You know,

00:08:27

>> Louis Black was constantly in a state of

00:08:29

rage.

00:08:29

>> Oh yeah. Lewis Black was [ __ ] in a

00:08:31

rage.

00:08:32

>> A rage no matter what.

00:08:33

>> I mean, he made me look like [ __ ]

00:08:35

Paula Pound.

00:08:37

>> Yours was like funny stupid rage. just

00:08:40

mad at stupid [ __ ] I think.

00:08:42

>> Yeah. Mine Mine was silly [ __ ] crazy.

00:08:44

And it still is. Like when I do I do

00:08:47

stand up twice a year, right? I have two

00:08:49

charity concerts I

00:08:50

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:08:51

>> One in Boston,

00:08:52

>> uh, which is a big gig for the Cam Ney

00:08:54

Foundation. That's like [ __ ] 15,000

00:08:57

people, and the other one is the Michael

00:08:58

J. Fox uh, Foundation show, which is

00:09:01

private as well. Uh, but um, you know,

00:09:04

it's a smaller crowd. It's a few

00:09:05

thousand. But I don't do any old

00:09:08

material except the [ __ ] song. But I

00:09:10

just It's amazing like [ __ ] how I

00:09:14

mean I'm I can't remember exactly what

00:09:16

the bit was, but when I went up this

00:09:18

fall, I did a whole thing about RFK Jr.

00:09:21

But about being from Massachusetts, like

00:09:23

to be considered an [ __ ] if you're a

00:09:25

Kennedy from Massachusetts, you really

00:09:28

have to agree to because everybody is so

00:09:30

[ __ ] still pro Kennedy, right? You

00:09:33

have

00:09:33

>> Vic Kennedy.

00:09:34

>> Yeah. They still love the [ __ ]

00:09:36

Kennedys in Massachusetts. So,

00:09:38

egregiously, you have to piss off You

00:09:41

have to piss off everybody in

00:09:42

Massachusetts, but your family

00:09:44

>> has to speak out first. So, when your

00:09:46

family comes out and says, "Hey, [ __ ]

00:09:47

him." Then we all go, "All right." Yeah.

00:09:50

It's crazy.

00:09:51

>> Not flying formation. There's a Kennedy

00:09:54

formation and Bobby went, I'm I'm going

00:09:56

over here.

00:09:57

>> Do you even doing stand up on those

00:09:59

things, you got to get nervous. I mean,

00:10:00

it's still stand up. You got to do a

00:10:02

long set.

00:10:03

Yeah, it's well, you know that feeling

00:10:05

now. It's not so much nervous. It's just

00:10:07

like when at the ages that we're at

00:10:09

hopefully, it's more like the

00:10:11

butterflies like I want the show to

00:10:12

start, right?

00:10:14

>> It's not It's not true like it's not the

00:10:16

It's not panic. It's like, [ __ ] can't

00:10:18

wait to get up there. Hope I remember

00:10:20

this. You know what I mean? Like,

00:10:21

>> right. It's not like, oh, if I do well

00:10:23

here, maybe I'll have a career or, you

00:10:26

know, I was bombed so hard

00:10:28

>> at the improv in Hollywood. Yeah. I went

00:10:31

on an 805, you know, I mean I mean death

00:10:33

and I was killing in the clubs in the

00:10:35

hinderland and then they said, "Hey,

00:10:38

Norman Leer thought it was pretty

00:10:39

funny." I What the [ __ ] He was there,

00:10:42

you know. So

00:10:43

>> what was Lear doing there?

00:10:45

>> I don't know.

00:10:47

>> Well, this is a while back. My point D.

00:10:51

We're not nervous in that sense that

00:10:53

we're dancing for our donuts. We we

00:10:55

we've had our careers and now we're

00:10:57

continuing,

00:10:58

>> which is another thing I wanted to ask

00:10:59

you about because

00:11:00

>> well, I could see it like because I I

00:11:03

stick a I usually put a a young or first

00:11:05

time person for a gig that size on the

00:11:08

Cam Neily thing in Boston, but also at

00:11:10

the Michael J. Fox gig like you know

00:11:13

there there'll be a person there who's

00:11:14

doing it for the first time at Youngcom

00:11:16

and I can see I can see the panic that

00:11:18

we all used to for

00:11:20

>> right. So you go like hey man it's it's

00:11:23

going to be fine. It's a [ __ ]

00:11:24

charity. Whatever. You give them the

00:11:25

heads up, right? Um, so I understand

00:11:28

that. I remember that. I mean, we all

00:11:29

remember that.

00:11:30

>> I was doing one with Billy Crystal in

00:11:32

the early 80s. Somehow I had the same

00:11:34

manager and they got me on a little

00:11:35

Showtime special. I had like two

00:11:37

minutes. Andy Coffman was the headliner.

00:11:39

I was [ __ ] panicked. I had no

00:11:42

business being on this show. And Billy

00:11:44

Crystal goes, "You got Finn in your

00:11:46

face. Go outside and walk around. Get

00:11:48

outside right now. Walk around. You You

00:11:50

look nervous." You know, he was really

00:11:52

trying to help me. But I remember that.

00:11:54

>> Did you go out and walk around?

00:11:55

>> Didn't help at all. I completely bombed,

00:11:57

you know.

00:11:58

>> What did you do? What material did you

00:11:59

do?

00:12:00

>> Oh, I did a Jacusto bit. Come on. We're

00:12:03

going back. You know,

00:12:05

>> Dennis, don't make that face.

00:12:07

>> You couldn't kill with a Jacusto bit.

00:12:09

>> You can't kill with [ __ ] Dennis.

00:12:11

>> I was first up and I had two minutes.

00:12:15

But the point is is that I understand

00:12:18

the young comedian going to these big

00:12:21

giant charity events. 15,000 people.

00:12:24

>> Yeah.

00:12:25

>> Listen, man. I still remember I mean I

00:12:27

don't know I can't remember what your

00:12:28

guys backtories was on this, but I

00:12:31

[ __ ] Lenny Clark ran that [ __ ] um

00:12:34

the big comedy night in Boston. The

00:12:36

first comedy night was run by Lenny

00:12:38

Clark. It was a Wednesday night open

00:12:40

mic, but he would have like he would

00:12:42

have you come back over and over again,

00:12:44

right, at a Chinese [ __ ] restaurant

00:12:46

in Cain, right? So, like I [ __ ] went

00:12:50

up the first time. I went up because I I

00:12:52

went to college with Steve Wright at

00:12:53

Emerson College. And so, somebody said

00:12:55

and he was the shiest [ __ ] guy in the

00:12:58

world. And somebody a mutual friend

00:13:00

said, "Hey, Steve went up at a [ __ ]

00:13:02

Chinese restaurant last night um and did

00:13:05

standup." And I he lived around the

00:13:06

corner from me. So, I went around the

00:13:07

corner to his apartment. I was like,

00:13:09

"What the fuck?" He's like, "Yeah, I'm

00:13:10

doing He goes, I didn't face the

00:13:12

audience. I faced the wall, but I did

00:13:14

pretty well." So, I went and I saw it

00:13:17

and I couldn't do what he did, but I

00:13:18

could do what Lenny Clark did because

00:13:20

Lenny was like a regular guy off the

00:13:22

street.

00:13:23

>> Regular.

00:13:24

>> Yeah.

00:13:25

>> And I [ __ ] bombed. I must have bombed

00:13:27

for [ __ ] 10 weeks. And every time I

00:13:29

bombed, there'd be like a tiny little

00:13:32

laugh. I'd go, "Oh, that was a pretty

00:13:33

good thing." Yeah.

00:13:34

>> And then Lenny would go, "Hey, come back

00:13:35

next week." He would just keep telling

00:13:37

me to come back and I would [ __ ]

00:13:39

bomb. But then there'd be like two bits.

00:13:41

And so like either you

00:13:44

>> when did you when did you have your

00:13:45

first one little line or one little

00:13:47

attitude or one bit that was surefire

00:13:50

like oh I can always lean on this

00:13:52

everything else sucked but

00:13:53

>> yeah so I did when I was in college at

00:13:56

at Emerson College in Boston. We for a

00:13:59

bunch of us formed a thing called the

00:14:00

Emerson Comedy Workshop and it was a you

00:14:02

know a theater group where we had to do

00:14:04

original shows all we had to write all

00:14:06

the material to get credit for it. So,

00:14:09

one of the characters I eventually

00:14:10

played in that while I was in college

00:14:12

was a guy, everything was kind of, you

00:14:14

know, be behind a fourth wall because it

00:14:16

was the theater. But there was one

00:14:17

character I played we called Bill who

00:14:20

was a really [ __ ] angry guy. It was

00:14:22

basically me. It was a really angry guy

00:14:24

who smoked and who just [ __ ] talked

00:14:26

to the audience and ranted and raved

00:14:27

about the Kennedy assassination or

00:14:29

whatever, right? Um, he's literally like

00:14:32

your parking meter guy except it was me.

00:14:36

So when I when Steve Wright was doing

00:14:39

that thing, I was like, "Well, that I'm

00:14:41

just going to try to do the guy that

00:14:43

guy, right? That guy was me. It was

00:14:45

basically me."

00:14:46

>> So everything wasn't working.

00:14:49

>> But then I I wrote my like I the first

00:14:53

uh smoking joke I wrote, which was um my

00:14:56

sister says, you know, these things are

00:14:58

just a um a replacement because my mom

00:15:01

didn't breastfeed me long enough. And I

00:15:03

was like, "Hey, if I could buy a pack of

00:15:05

tits, I would." That was the first

00:15:09

>> pack of tits.

00:15:10

>> I was like, "Oh,

00:15:12

>> pack of tits."

00:15:13

>> Yeah, pack of tits is a great word

00:15:15

package. Like,

00:15:18

>> that was the first joke where I went

00:15:20

like, "Oh, fuck."

00:15:21

>> Yeah.

00:15:21

>> Then you're like, "How do I work tits in

00:15:23

every joke?"

00:15:24

>> Yeah. I need 10 10 packs.

00:15:26

>> That's all you learned. 10 pats of jokes

00:15:30

that are as good as

00:15:31

>> as good. It took me a while, but there

00:15:33

was that was where I got my first

00:15:35

smoking angry smoking chuck.

00:15:39

00:16:34

Did you smoke? I have to ask. Or was it

00:16:36

>> [ __ ] I just quit. I just [ __ ] quit

00:16:38

four years ago. I smoked for 52 years.

00:16:41

>> Okay, so it was not a prop.

00:16:43

>> Oh, no. [ __ ] No, I stopped smoking

00:16:46

after No Cure for Cancer because on

00:16:49

stage because I was like there's no

00:16:50

[ __ ] point now because it's like

00:16:52

people expect me to smoke. I I'll just

00:16:54

get rid but I smoked like a [ __ ]

00:16:56

chimney until four years ago.

00:16:58

>> And you smoked on stage?

00:17:00

>> Smoked on stage

00:17:01

>> and nobody cared.

00:17:02

>> Nobody gave a [ __ ] I smoked at I smoked

00:17:05

on stage at Carnegie Hall. I smoke where

00:17:07

you're not allowed to smoke at all.

00:17:09

>> Yeah.

00:17:10

>> Um I smoked I smoked everywhere. I

00:17:12

smoked in [ __ ] Mayor Bloomberg's

00:17:14

office in New York City while he was the

00:17:15

mayor.

00:17:16

>> He was the complete anti-smoking guy.

00:17:19

>> I would just light up. I would just

00:17:20

[ __ ] light up until people told me.

00:17:22

>> Did you have a cool move with it?

00:17:24

Because if it wasn't dangerous, I mean,

00:17:25

I thought John Ham in um

00:17:29

>> Mad Men.

00:17:29

>> Mad Met.

00:17:30

>> He was so brilliant with the cigarette

00:17:32

and making it intensely cool the way you

00:17:35

smoked it. Did you have moves that you

00:17:37

were conscious of or did you just look

00:17:39

cool? No, I tr on stage I always tried

00:17:42

to look the opposite of cool with it. So

00:17:44

I was always like making it huge, you

00:17:46

know what I mean? Like big gestures.

00:17:49

>> Um,

00:17:50

>> but I I don't know if I was cool in real

00:17:51

I thought I was cool in real life

00:17:53

smoking.

00:17:54

>> Did you ever put it in your mouth and

00:17:55

keep talking like Brad Pitt did Once

00:17:57

Upon a Time in Hollywood?

00:17:59

>> Yeah, that is the cool move when it you

00:18:01

know.

00:18:01

>> [ __ ] dude. I smoked I smoked all the

00:18:03

time.

00:18:03

>> You knew what you were doing. Yeah.

00:18:05

>> Have you had your lungs checked out or

00:18:06

how are you?

00:18:07

>> Now here's the [ __ ] thing, right?

00:18:10

I quit drinking like 20 years ago. I I'm

00:18:13

not like a health nook, but there I, you

00:18:15

know, I I'm physically active. I play a

00:18:17

lot of [ __ ] sports. I, you know, try

00:18:19

to keep myself in shape. Colin Quinn,

00:18:22

you know, who quit smoking a long time

00:18:24

ago, was the guy when I saw him, he'd be

00:18:26

like, "Hey, you're gonna you're never

00:18:28

going to quit. You're never." So that

00:18:29

was always in my head, right, that he

00:18:31

was probably right because we knew each

00:18:32

other back when we were in our 20s, like

00:18:35

when we were all smoking, but he and I

00:18:37

smoked like [ __ ] chimneys. So I was

00:18:39

like, he's right. I'm never I just gave

00:18:41

up on the idea of quitting.

00:18:44

>> So, and I'm this is not any brag. I'm

00:18:46

just telling you guys what happened. And

00:18:48

I don't know why it happened. I went

00:18:49

outside to smoke a cigarette in August,

00:18:54

four four years ago, I think it was. And

00:18:56

uh and I literally finished the

00:18:58

cigarette and I went that's it. And I

00:19:01

thought that's weird that I said that to

00:19:03

myself and I had a full pack. So I'm

00:19:05

like I'm going to smoke again tomorrow.

00:19:07

I woke up in the morning. I threw that

00:19:08

pack away. [ __ ] never smoked again.

00:19:12

>> That's cool.

00:19:13

>> I just never I don't know. So it's just

00:19:15

like the quitting drinking. I quit

00:19:16

drinking. I was like ah I'm done. Like I

00:19:18

think I just have one of those such

00:19:20

addictive personality that at a certain

00:19:22

point my brain goes we don't need these

00:19:24

things anymore. Right. Yeah.

00:19:26

>> So my wife goes, "You're getting a

00:19:28

[ __ ] checkup and blah blah blah." And

00:19:30

I'm like, "Okay." And she's like, "I'm

00:19:31

coming with you because I don't trust

00:19:32

you." Which she's right, right? Because

00:19:36

if the doctor told me bad news, I would

00:19:37

probably So I go, I do the [ __ ]

00:19:40

tests, everything. Running, breathing,

00:19:43

the [ __ ] scans of the lung. And then

00:19:45

we have this meeting with the

00:19:46

cardiologist, and he's like, "I don't

00:19:47

know what to say, but um you have It's

00:19:50

like you never smoked.

00:19:52

>> Love it."

00:19:53

>> And I was like, "What?" And as soon as

00:19:55

he said it, my wife turned to me. She

00:19:56

goes, "You're not [ __ ] smoking

00:19:58

again." And I was like, that was the

00:20:00

first thing I thought, like, I can start

00:20:01

smoking again. But I did.

00:20:03

>> I got I got lucky genetically.

00:20:07

>> I got totally lucky.

00:20:09

>> People drink like a fish, go to 95, you

00:20:12

know, and other people, you know. So

00:20:13

>> my mother died at 98.

00:20:15

>> She just passed away. And she never

00:20:18

smoked or drank a day in her life. My

00:20:20

dad dropped dead when he was 60 and he

00:20:23

smoked like a chimney. So I I got my

00:20:25

mother's insides and my dad's outsides,

00:20:27

I think.

00:20:27

>> Yeah.

00:20:27

>> Wow. So you got to be really handsome

00:20:29

and healthy. I mean,

00:20:30

>> you look the same. That's good. Yeah.

00:20:32

>> Yeah.

00:20:33

>> I think I think we all think we look the

00:20:35

same, but we don't.

00:20:37

>> Uh depends on the lighting, depends on

00:20:39

the shot. My wife and I are at the

00:20:40

airport and they go, "Clear? Do you want

00:20:42

to have clear?" You go and you they take

00:20:44

your picture.

00:20:44

>> Yeah. Yeah.

00:20:46

>> It was so monstrous. It was like amazing

00:20:49

how old we looked. Like

00:20:51

>> we're old. We're old. I know is is that

00:20:54

you only are your digital copy and it's

00:20:57

lighting and stuff. So there's no macro

00:20:59

or

00:21:00

>> truth of exactly how you look.

00:21:03

>> Well, you've got a good voice that's the

00:21:05

same, too. This your voice is so

00:21:07

distinct that I think that's cool. And

00:21:09

have a good strong voice. That's the

00:21:11

same.

00:21:11

>> Yeah.

00:21:11

>> What are you guys talking about? You

00:21:13

guys have two of the most identifiable

00:21:14

[ __ ] voices in [ __ ] show business.

00:21:16

>> David does. I I

00:21:18

>> You do. What are you talking about?

00:21:20

>> His voice.

00:21:21

>> Yes.

00:21:21

>> Who's that? It It's the voice you lead

00:21:24

00:21:25

00:21:40

00:21:45

>> No, don't go. Hey, whoa,

>> whoa. No, I'm I'm 70, but I read at a 72

00:21:50

year old.

00:21:50

>> Yeah, we'll cut this out. I'm 69 and I

00:21:53

>> 69.

00:21:54

>> I tell people I'm going to be 69.

00:21:57

>> Okay, Dana, relax.

00:21:58

>> Tell people I'm 70 because I look even

00:22:00

younger. But here's the point.

00:24:11

now.

00:24:11

>> This hair gets a little bit [ __ ]

00:24:13

higher and the legs are longer. I'm

00:24:17

>> right there.

00:24:18

>> So,

00:24:19

>> and by the way, you want to talk about

00:24:21

angry [ __ ] funny Irish guys. Conan's

00:24:23

the king.

00:24:24

>> [ __ ]

00:24:25

>> Nobody's that guy.

00:24:27

>> He doesn't show it on.

00:24:28

>> Is he angry? I mean, he's angry.

00:24:30

>> He's pretty angry on the podcast. He's

00:24:31

really [ __ ] funny. I love

00:24:34

>> he can really he can go down the [ __ ]

00:24:36

rabbit hole. But anyways, what I was

00:24:37

going to say was I got I became aware of

00:24:39

your guys podcast and I I was looking at

00:24:42

it on Instagram because I don't listen

00:24:43

to podcast.

00:24:44

>> Yeah.

00:24:45

>> So, this is my usual thing of seeing

00:24:47

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:24:48

>> Well, this is I brought this up. It's

00:24:49

not profound, but this is a new art form

00:24:51

where people consuming what we're doing

00:24:53

right now are most likely doing

00:24:56

something else while they they're

00:24:58

gardening, they're at the gym, or in

00:25:00

their car,

00:25:00

>> they're in their house doing chores. So,

00:25:02

I used to think razzledazzle. I gota I

00:25:04

got to do it. You know,

00:25:07

>> it's, you know, they're just listening.

00:25:08

I just want to ask you one question.

00:25:09

>> We just aren't loud because you don't

00:25:11

want to wake them,

00:25:12

>> right? We have

00:25:13

>> most people are taking naps.

00:25:15

>> Go to sleep and don't turn it off and

00:25:17

and and pile through like 20 of our

00:25:19

podcasts. You don't remember them. They

00:25:22

don't add up to ad dollars. So, my name

00:25:24

I looked it up before, but I did it

00:25:27

again. County Siggo

00:25:29

Carvey

00:25:31

in Gaelic Oarian means rough or rugged.

00:25:39

>> That's a myth.

00:25:39

>> Yeah, well that fits.

00:25:40

>> Take that, Larry. What's Liry? I looked

00:25:42

up Liry.

00:25:43

>> It's calfeper.

00:25:44

>> Unusually feminism. Feminist. Sorry.

00:25:48

>> I had the joke and I went too far.

00:25:50

>> God, you messed it up.

00:25:51

>> I [ __ ] UP. But

00:25:52

>> it means calfeper in actually in Gail.

00:25:54

Calf.

00:25:56

>> Calf. Calf like a cow. Calf keeper.

00:25:58

>> Oh. Oh. Oh.

00:25:59

>> K A L because they we're all we're all

00:26:01

[ __ ] farmers in Ireland.

00:26:03

>> Yeah. We My people used to beat up cows.

00:26:07

>> Really?

00:26:08

>> Because they were so rugged. Hey, let me

00:26:09

ask you guys this.

00:26:11

>> You can ask us anything.

00:26:12

>> I I know I can. Right. Because I'm a

00:26:14

guest.

00:26:14

>> Yes.

00:26:16

So when this thing started it was just

00:26:18

people from Saturday Night Live that

00:26:20

were connected because that's you know I

00:26:21

I keyed in because I was I was

00:26:23

interested in that and then so now have

00:26:26

you cycled through all the SNL people

00:26:28

and now you're going to other

00:26:29

>> we just had Marcelo Hernandez who's

00:26:31

>> I saw I saw parts of that one.

00:26:33

>> Yeah. So we still do have that element

00:26:36

but you know you must have auditioned

00:26:38

for Saturday Night Live.

00:26:39

>> No never.

00:26:40

>> You must have seen it.

00:26:42

>> Uh well of course I saw it. I didn't um

00:26:46

they asked me to host it too when I

00:26:48

first got famous and I had too much

00:26:49

respect for what you guys were doing to

00:26:51

[ __ ]

00:26:51

>> What year was that? Thank you.

00:26:53

>> 92 93 they they he asked

00:26:56

>> Oh, we would have been there.

00:26:57

>> Oh, although

00:26:57

>> I know you ended up You did an

00:26:59

impression of me in some bit there.

00:27:01

>> Oh, that's right. I did, right?

00:27:03

>> Um but I was I knew you I knew a couple

00:27:05

guys there. I knew Quinn and I knew

00:27:07

[ __ ] um Chris Rock and a couple other

00:27:10

people and I was like I knew all this

00:27:11

work people were doing like

00:27:13

>> so I had too much respect for that and

00:27:15

also why on my day my week off

00:27:18

>> from making something and doing press

00:27:20

would I want instead of just doing a

00:27:22

talk show which is hard enough to make

00:27:24

sure you [ __ ] come out funny on a

00:27:25

talk show. Yeah.

00:27:26

>> Would I want to [ __ ] work my balls

00:27:28

00:27:29

>> It's a tough week. Yeah.

00:27:30

>> Crazy.

00:27:32

>> So I never did.

00:27:33

>> It's an honor. That's why

00:27:34

>> it's an honor.

00:27:36

>> You would have done great. You would

00:27:37

have done great. Standups do great. You

00:27:39

know these

00:27:41

>> I was the last guy to do a Disney movie

00:27:43

where they said it was an honor and

00:27:44

that's why I didn't get a lot of money.

00:27:46

And then they came out with Shrek and

00:27:47

everyone got 5 million bucks. I go,

00:27:49

"Wait, what is going on?

00:27:51

>> What was the Disney movie you did?"

00:27:53

>> Uh, it's called Emperor's New Groove. I

00:27:56

played a llama.

00:27:57

>> Yeah. He got 18,000.

00:27:58

>> I'll send you a movie made a hundred

00:28:01

billion. Uh,

00:28:02

>> no. I got 75,000 which sounds

00:28:05

>> like a lot. It was a lot.

00:28:06

>> That's not a lot.

00:28:07

>> Not for a It was a big cartoon.

00:28:10

>> It took three cartoon. Those [ __ ]

00:28:11

[ __ ] ripped you off.

00:28:13

>> They rat [ __ ] me.

00:28:14

>> Can you say [ __ ]

00:28:15

>> Yeah.

00:28:16

>> You can say anything. Those

00:28:17

[ __ ]

00:28:18

>> No, but you can say rat [ __ ]

00:28:19

>> Drive me nuts. [ __ ]

00:28:21

>> You can't say [ __ ] but you can

00:28:22

say rat [ __ ]

00:28:23

>> No, I did. And it kept going and going

00:28:25

and I'm like, guys, I don't want to

00:28:26

drive out to Disney every day and just

00:28:28

lay down an hour or two of trucks. I'm

00:28:30

like Dennis Liry. I got [ __ ] to do on my

00:28:31

day off.

00:28:32

>> Yeah.

00:28:33

>> And so they're like, it's just going to

00:28:34

be Now we redid the script. I'm doing

00:28:36

scenes. I don't even know what's going

00:28:37

on. I love the movie now, but I was

00:28:39

during it. I was starting to get a

00:28:40

little itchy.

00:28:42

>> Like I don't know.

00:28:44

>> New ending.

00:28:45

>> It does. I mean, it did it. It was fine.

00:28:46

I really love it. But uh and then they

00:28:49

they're miracle workers with the

00:28:51

freaking animation. You did one. You did

00:28:54

Zanzibar. What was it called?

00:28:55

>> As a matter of fact, I did two. I did

00:28:57

Bug's Life. Uh,

00:28:59

>> that was a You played an aphid.

00:29:03

>> What?

00:29:03

>> I don't know.

00:29:04

>> What is that?

00:29:05

>> You played an aphid. I'm trying to think

00:29:06

of bug.

00:29:07

>> I played a ladybug.

00:29:08

>> Is that Jerry Steinfeld's movie, too?

00:29:10

>> Was that Jerry's movie?

00:29:12

>> That's an ant life.

00:29:14

>> Oh. Oh, okay.

00:29:15

>> Yeah.

00:29:16

>> It was ripoff.

00:29:18

>> Jerry was bees.

00:29:19

>> Oh, he was a bee. That's right. That's

00:29:21

right. Bugs are getting insect. So, what

00:29:23

were your

00:29:24

>> By the way, I should take this

00:29:25

opportunity since we brought it up. Ice

00:29:27

Age 6 is coming out next year.

00:29:30

>> There is not an Ice Age.

00:29:31

>> I'm [ __ ] swear to God.

00:29:34

I swear to God.

00:29:35

>> Ray Romano is gonna get another check.

00:29:38

>> No, that's Madagascar, I think.

00:29:40

>> Oh, okay.

00:29:41

>> No, that is Ice Age.

00:29:42

>> Ice Legazamo and

00:29:45

>> Legazamo.

00:29:46

>> Yeah.

00:29:47

>> See that guy?

00:29:48

>> You don't have to go into numbers. Maybe

00:29:50

it's rude, but

00:29:50

>> you're a lion.

00:29:52

>> Did you get a bump? Did you get a bump

00:29:54

for this one? We we got bumps for all of

00:29:57

them. So basically

00:29:59

>> a bigger problem.

00:29:59

>> They didn't they didn't know this, but I

00:30:02

guess they were discuss you know the

00:30:03

problem is these movies and it's a plus.

00:30:06

It's not a problem. They're getting

00:30:08

streamed like crazy. So So now they can

00:30:10

see the numbers of what's really

00:30:12

streaming. So the Ice Age movies

00:30:13

apparently

00:30:14

>> by adults and kids were getting streamed

00:30:17

like crazy.

00:30:18

>> Ray and I were making a TV show for

00:30:20

Netflix together at the time. This is

00:30:22

like two years ago. um called No Good

00:30:26

Deed. So, we were working together every

00:30:28

day. I was playing his brother and and

00:30:31

we both came into work one morning in

00:30:33

the makeup trailer and we're like, "Hey,

00:30:34

did your agent call you that?" I was

00:30:35

like, "Yeah, my agent call me." They

00:30:37

didn't know that we were working

00:30:38

together and they wanted to start

00:30:39

negotiations with me and Ray and Leazamo

00:30:43

to see if we would be interested in

00:30:45

doing it.

00:30:45

>> Yeah. So, we did the right thing, which

00:30:47

was like we we basically all three of us

00:30:49

said, "Hey, we need to see the script

00:30:51

and, you know, make sure it's not, you

00:30:53

know, it's not just it's going to be

00:30:54

good, you know,

00:30:56

>> play hard to get.

00:30:57

>> Play hard to get. Plus, we need a lot of

00:30:58

money."

00:30:59

>> So, um, it worked out.

00:31:01

>> And did Netflix buy it off of what,

00:31:03

DreamWorks or whatever it was?

00:31:05

>> No, I don't [ __ ] know who owns it

00:31:07

now.

00:31:07

>> I know because you know there they do

00:31:09

movies now where like Happy Gilmore,

00:31:11

they I think they bought it off of Sony.

00:31:13

I mean, I don't know.

00:31:14

>> Oh, did they really? H that the most

00:31:16

recent Happy Gilmore.

00:31:17

>> Yeah, because they on Netflix and the

00:31:18

first one was Sony.

00:31:20

>> Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. That [ __ ]

00:31:24

thing is such a monster, man. Yeah. It's

00:31:26

a monster movie, right?

00:31:28

>> So, yeah, of course they'd pay for it.

00:31:30

Everybody saw it.

00:31:31

>> If they can Yeah, if they can do it,

00:31:33

they go, "Oh, now there's a

00:31:34

breakthrough. We can buy movies we never

00:31:36

had."

00:31:37

>> Well, now they're doing they Sandler

00:31:39

signed with them pretty early about that

00:31:40

stuff, which makes sense because

00:31:42

>> Yeah.

00:31:42

>> I mean, right. By the way, how about

00:31:44

[ __ ] the actor Sandler has turned

00:31:46

himself into? I mean, it's unfucking

00:31:48

believable.

00:31:49

>> Saf one. Uh, hidden. What was it? Gem.

00:31:53

>> Gems.

00:31:54

>> Yeah. I mean, he's really turned himself

00:31:56

into a great character actor. But at the

00:31:58

same time, he's going to make funny

00:32:00

movies that [ __ ] the whole world

00:32:01

sees. So, why wouldn't you want that guy

00:32:03

in your lineup?

00:32:05

>> This goes back to the reality. There's

00:32:07

no more movies anymore. It's all [ __ ]

00:32:09

stream.

00:32:09

>> No, movies are movies don't really uh

00:32:13

Yeah. I mean, just

00:32:14

>> I don't know why they make anything

00:32:15

besides a cartoon

00:32:18

or

00:32:18

>> cartoon or a big action movie. That's

00:32:20

it.

00:32:20

>> Yeah. Yeah.

00:32:22

>> Well, the competition. I have a

00:32:24

lowbudget movie and we're trying to

00:32:26

figure out what to do with it. And we're

00:32:27

like, do you even want to try theaters?

00:32:30

Everyone seems like that sounds so fun,

00:32:31

but I go, you don't want to get smoked

00:32:33

by the Avengers. I mean, you

00:32:35

>> you're not going to get

00:32:36

>> How would you compete with anything?

00:32:38

>> Yeah. You want to be streaming? More

00:32:40

people will see your [ __ ] movie on a

00:32:42

Friday night than we'll see it if you

00:32:43

ran it in the theaters for years.

00:32:44

>> Fine. I mean, just romance of like, oh,

00:32:47

I'm in the theater. But I've had

00:32:48

theaters and I've had streaming.

00:32:50

Streaming,

00:32:51

>> it goes worldwide in one second. It's

00:32:53

out.

00:32:53

>> If you don't have the advertising

00:32:55

budget, then there's going to be three

00:32:57

people in there. And there nothing will

00:33:00

any comedy will bomb.

00:33:02

>> Blazing Saddles would have bombed. It

00:33:03

was just two people.

00:33:05

>> Listen, who's going to go who's going to

00:33:06

go to the theater? Who are they going to

00:33:07

go see? Tom Cruz, right? Still,

00:33:10

apparently [ __ ] big Marvel movies,

00:33:13

which are again, they're on the Wayne as

00:33:15

well. And then you get every once in a

00:33:17

while you get that if Spielberg has a

00:33:19

big movie, an action movie,

00:33:20

>> he's got one coming out somewhere. I'm

00:33:22

going Yeah.

00:33:23

>> Yeah. So, I mean, otherwise you might as

00:33:25

well be [ __ ] you know, streaming

00:33:27

because that's

00:33:28

>> I like the theater. And about five,

00:33:30

seven years ago is the first time I had

00:33:33

walked out on some clankers. And I

00:33:35

usually would just go for the whole fun

00:33:36

of going and then you buy all the [ __ ]

00:33:39

and you sit in the back and you watch. I

00:33:41

just liked it all and then suddenly the

00:33:43

movies were too shitty. I don't know

00:33:44

what happened at a certain point I go I

00:33:47

can't do the whole two and a half hours

00:33:48

because sometimes they really rat [ __ ]

00:33:50

you with a long movie. You go

00:33:52

>> get in and out. You don't need

00:33:54

>> dude. What are you doing? 90 minutes for

00:33:55

a comedy. Come on. Right.

00:33:57

>> 80 80 and then you do the out takes for

00:34:00

10.

00:34:02

>> What are we [ __ ] doing? It's two and

00:34:03

a half hour movies. You know, very few

00:34:05

people can get away with that [ __ ]

00:34:07

[ __ ]

00:34:07

>> Paul Nolan will, you know, there certain

00:34:10

people you kind of go, I gotta see that.

00:34:12

But it is I must have this problem, but

00:34:14

I watch movies at home

00:34:17

>> and then my wife's got her phone and

00:34:18

it's a a chain with her family ding, you

00:34:22

know, the dinner bell, you know, it's

00:34:24

the death scene or whatever. They're

00:34:25

tap. So,

00:34:27

>> I do like once in a while a dark

00:34:30

theater. It's dead empty. I'm sitting in

00:34:32

the back. I turn everything off and it

00:34:35

doesn't even matter as long as there's

00:34:36

some things moving around. It's

00:34:38

meditative. It's like all the noise.

00:34:40

Only in church or a movie theater do

00:34:43

they ask you or maybe even on takeoff I

00:34:46

see people on their iPhone in a plane,

00:34:48

you know? Yeah. So anyway, comment.

00:34:50

>> How about the [ __ ] thing? You're not

00:34:52

allowed in my house if you're at my

00:34:54

house. This goes for my kids. Although

00:34:56

my son and my daughter are pretty

00:34:58

respectful because they're in the

00:35:00

business of of like they're not gonna

00:35:01

watch a Scorsese movie on a [ __ ]

00:35:03

iPhone.

00:35:04

>> How many How many times you been in an

00:35:05

airport and see walk by some guy's

00:35:06

watching Good Fellas on an iPhone?

00:35:08

>> Yeah.

00:35:09

>> I mean, what are you f we're on their

00:35:10

[ __ ] iPad? Ah, [ __ ]

00:35:13

>> apocalypse Now it's really good, man.

00:35:17

00:35:18

>> Yeah. You're not [ __ ] You can't have

00:35:20

your phone um you know going at the

00:35:23

>> Yeah.

00:35:25

Like when I watch the Super Bowl, I

00:35:27

watch the [ __ ] Super Bowl. You're not

00:35:29

talking about other [ __ ] around me while

00:35:31

I'm watching the [ __ ] Super Bowl.

00:35:32

Okay. Even during the halftime show, you

00:35:34

could maybe talk a little, but I'm I'm

00:35:36

watching the game. Okay. So, I'm not

00:35:38

[ __ ]

00:35:39

>> I totally agree. I don't want to Yeah.

00:35:41

be where a lot of people are talking

00:35:42

about other topics. It's third and long.

00:35:45

This is, you know.

00:35:46

>> Yeah. Yeah.

00:35:46

>> The problem is I have so much football

00:35:48

knowledge. I sometimes bless the people

00:35:50

with a couple things like, uh, the refs

00:35:53

missed that one. when I say stuff like

00:35:54

that.

00:35:56

>> Yeah.

00:35:56

>> Everyone appreciates it.

00:35:58

>> He's got yesterday.

00:36:01

>> What's that?

00:36:01

>> Did you watch yesterday?

00:36:03

>> Yeah.

00:36:03

>> You mean you mean four months ago when

00:36:05

the Super Bowl was?

00:36:06

>> We're releasing this episode in July,

00:36:07

but

00:36:09

it's the Super Bowl. And yes, we did

00:36:11

watch it.

00:36:12

>> I saw it.

00:36:14

>> I like Bad Bunny. I'm not a I don't I'm

00:36:16

not a Bad Bunny fan. I don't own any of

00:36:18

his music, but I like the show.

00:36:19

>> You like Bad Bunny and you can't

00:36:21

>> I did like Bad Bunny.

00:36:22

>> Yeah. You know,

00:36:23

>> it was theatrical. It was like

00:36:24

>> I was so tempted to go see how bad the

00:36:27

[ __ ] um alternative show was with Kid

00:36:30

Rock and the three country stars nobody

00:36:33

outside of [ __ ] Nashville's ever

00:36:35

heard of

00:36:36

>> the country.

00:36:37

>> I was like, "Who are these guys? I like

00:36:39

some country music. Who the who the [ __ ]

00:36:41

are these guys?"

00:36:41

>> I have to say, if you got a big show,

00:36:44

get your biggest get Carrie Underwood in

00:36:47

there. Get Get somebody we've heard of.

00:36:49

I

00:36:49

>> agree. I have a piece of trivia that

00:36:52

Dana I shouldn't tell you about.

00:36:53

>> I was just gonna pitch an alternative

00:36:54

Oscar

00:36:56

>> live stream it. If you don't want to

00:36:57

watch the Oscars, watch us three talking

00:37:00

about the movies. Go ahead. David,

00:37:02

sorry.

00:37:02

>> That Yeah, that's not a bad idea. After

00:37:04

the opening monologue, I'm only

00:37:06

interested because I'm interested in the

00:37:08

comedian doing the monologue. Then I

00:37:10

don't give a [ __ ] because

00:37:11

>> you've seen all the movies that are

00:37:13

going to be up for Austin.

00:37:15

>> You know, we've all been at these awards

00:37:16

show. you I think I was at the Emmys one

00:37:18

year when you [ __ ] hosted like it

00:37:20

takes forever even when you're there it

00:37:22

[ __ ] sucks right

00:37:24

>> so an alternative broadcast is really

00:37:27

[ __ ] funny like a [ __ ] Manning

00:37:30

cast of the Emmys and the Oscars where

00:37:32

like the three of us are making comments

00:37:34

about what's going on on the show

00:37:36

>> if you're allowed to do that anything

00:37:37

where you can comment is genius because

00:37:39

that's all people do in the living room

00:37:41

>> I think we have a [ __ ] idea here

00:37:43

>> it's possible

00:37:44

>> doesn't have to be the three of us but

00:37:45

three comedians

00:37:47

[ __ ] comment on the [ __ ] Golden

00:37:50

Globes or the Emmys or the Oscars as

00:37:52

they're happening.

00:37:53

>> That has got to have been done before.

00:37:55

>> I don't know why they haven't done

00:37:56

because every living room.

00:37:59

>> But

00:37:59

>> I think the problem is licensing to show

00:38:02

a show.

00:38:03

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:38:04

>> But if you I've looked into this a

00:38:05

little bit because that old mystery

00:38:07

science theater I liked.

00:38:08

>> Yes.

00:38:08

>> And the reason why they did old shitty

00:38:10

movies is because that's the only one

00:38:12

they could clear.

00:38:13

>> Right. Right. So, I'm I'm losing you

00:38:15

guys with this showbiz lingo, but

00:38:18

>> um clearing means how do I explain it?

00:38:21

Um anyway, so it would be really fun to

00:38:25

do that. And uh I Here's my trivia about

00:38:28

the halftime show, Dana, which I'll tell

00:38:29

you again

00:38:30

>> this week on when we do our

00:38:32

>> I want to hear

00:38:34

>> the bushes during Bad Bunny were people.

00:38:40

>> Oh, really?

00:38:41

>> They were people in bush costumes. No,

00:38:43

they weren't.

00:38:44

>> And at the end, I saw a video of They're

00:38:46

all walking off. All the bushes are

00:38:48

walking off.

00:38:49

>> AI [ __ ] man.

00:38:50

>> AI [ __ ]

00:38:52

>> I think it's real.

00:38:53

>> Let's look it up. Heather, Greg,

00:38:58

>> we'll save that for this week.

00:39:01

>> What I find I find really interesting is

00:39:03

that

00:39:04

>> that Spade

00:39:07

and you I mean, how did that partnership

00:39:09

come about? I mean, I know the SNL

00:39:11

connection, but whose idea was it? Which

00:39:13

one of you said to the other, "Hey, what

00:39:16

if we did

00:39:19

>> Well, I was having dinner with Dana once

00:39:22

in a while in LA because Dana was a

00:39:25

favorite and a bud from the old days.

00:39:27

Always the

00:39:28

>> So, we started going to dinner at this

00:39:30

restaurant

00:39:31

>> and he didn't live here. And then when

00:39:32

he was I realized he was near me, I

00:39:33

said, "Hey, you want to go eat?" And he

00:39:35

would come and we'd have a beer and

00:39:36

[ __ ] And we'd always get around to

00:39:38

SNL stuff because we all know all our

00:39:40

friends and [ __ ]

00:39:41

>> Yeah. Yeah.

00:39:42

>> And I was in the I wanted to try a

00:39:43

podcast a long time ago. I just couldn't

00:39:45

figure out someone to do it with. And uh

00:39:49

somehow with Dana and I talking, of

00:39:51

course, it would take Dana doing it, but

00:39:54

I would rather have someone like Dana

00:39:58

than, you know, you get someone famous

00:40:00

or you could do it with someone totally

00:40:01

unknown. It's like a sidekick that just

00:40:03

and you just talk pretty much,

00:40:04

>> right? But if Dana was good talker,

00:40:08

hysterical, and then we just said, well,

00:40:10

maybe we should try something like this.

00:40:12

And that was the fun because you get

00:40:14

someone that's a home run hitter here.

00:40:16

>> Well, it was also in the treeline days

00:40:19

of like, you know, Conan came in and

00:40:21

other people and Rogan became humongous

00:40:23

and was like this podcasting thing is

00:40:26

like is, you know, because for a long

00:40:28

time it's like, well, is there any money

00:40:30

in it? Because I did one without a

00:40:32

company. It was just called fantastic

00:40:34

available and it was just for fun and

00:40:36

David came on that and David was really

00:40:39

fun

00:40:40

>> to bounce off stuff with.

00:40:42

>> Oh, that was sort of like a pilot

00:40:43

because once we did that we're like this

00:40:45

is funny. We're just [ __ ] around.

00:40:47

>> Yeah, that was the key, right? Was that

00:40:48

you both were funny. So the [ __ ]

00:40:50

thing was funny. Yeah.

00:40:51

>> Yeah. And just uh you know we're

00:40:53

friends, you know. So it's like we don't

00:40:55

have to pretend or we're put together by

00:40:57

some kind of conglomerate, you know.

00:41:00

>> Yeah. Now we work for a conglomerate and

00:41:02

um

00:41:02

>> You're too busy to do a podcast.

00:41:04

>> No, I first of all I I don't have

00:41:06

>> they people have asked me but again I

00:41:08

don't have the

00:41:09

>> Yeah. You know what I mean? Like I don't

00:41:11

have the time because I'm always on

00:41:13

location or whatever. But I was like I

00:41:15

don't [ __ ] I was like you like I

00:41:16

don't want to do it unless it's going to

00:41:18

be something funny. I want to just

00:41:19

[ __ ] talk. No offense. I don't want

00:41:21

to talk to people if it's not gonna be

00:41:23

funny.

>> So it's No, it's based on a real base.

00:47:09

They actually existed. So the showrunner

00:47:11

is this guy Joel Church Cooper,

00:47:13

brilliant writer. He did Brock Meer with

00:47:15

Hankazer, right? Oh yeah. So I was a

00:47:17

huge fan of. So he ca he approached us

00:47:21

about like wanted to work together and

00:47:22

it's like yeah. He said, "Listen, I know

00:47:24

a guy that was stationed at this base,

00:47:26

this American base in the Netherlands,

00:47:30

that the only reason it existed was to

00:47:32

do the laundry for the other 32 NATO

00:47:35

bases in Europe and to deliver wine and

00:47:38

cheese to each base." Right?

00:47:40

>> That's funny.

00:47:41

>> But because it was in the Netherlands,

00:47:43

you have to hire a certain amount of

00:47:46

Dutch citizens to work on the base.

00:47:48

>> Prostitution is legal and drugs are

00:47:50

legal. So what ended up happening was of

00:47:53

course is it became a den for you know

00:47:56

for illegal drugs and and which you

00:48:00

can't blame him. So they shut the base

00:48:02

down. This guy was was stationed there.

00:48:04

This adviser that we had. So we loved

00:48:08

the idea. We didn't want to shoot

00:48:09

anywhere near the Dutch government or

00:48:12

the American military base that had been

00:48:14

shut down. So Ireland looks just like

00:48:17

the Netherlands in terms of the land and

00:48:19

the the the color of the landscape and

00:48:22

the weather. So and and Ireland has a

00:48:25

thriving film and TV industry. Um so it

00:48:28

was a double plus for me because that's

00:48:30

where my parents are from and that's I

00:48:32

have like 150 cousins there. So uh it

00:48:36

was it was a blast for it's it's always

00:48:39

a blast to go back there because my

00:48:40

cousins come and visit the set. My

00:48:41

cousins like like walk on the set and

00:48:43

they're like, "Hey, I know the DP. I

00:48:45

went to high school with him, you know."

00:48:46

So, it's like the country's small, you

00:48:48

know.

00:48:49

>> Um,

00:48:49

>> and they gave us a military base for us

00:48:51

to shoot at.

00:48:52

>> I mean, Rob Low told us that his his

00:48:54

game show, The Floor.

00:48:56

>> Yeah. Shoots there.

00:48:57

>> It shoots there. It It's still cheaper.

00:48:59

I think it's 700 people or whatever. I

00:49:02

mean, it's hundreds of American

00:49:03

citizens. They fly to Ireland, put them

00:49:05

up for months, and it's still

00:49:07

exponentially cheaper than Hollywood.

00:49:10

What's

00:49:10

>> is it because of all the strikes where

00:49:12

everything's so expensive?

00:49:13

>> No, it's because of all the union rules,

00:49:15

right? So,

00:49:16

>> but it's also because everybody gives

00:49:18

tax break. I mean, [ __ ] Boston gives

00:49:21

tax breaks. [ __ ] Atlanta, you know,

00:49:26

>> why don't LA give tax break? Because I

00:49:28

we did both grown-ups movies in Boston.

00:49:30

Oh, a couple people remember. Thank you.

00:49:32

>> Uh and so we went to [ __ ]

00:49:34

>> Swampscott.

00:49:35

>> Swampskit. Um, by the way,

00:49:39

>> I saw both Grown-Ups movies multiple

00:49:41

times

00:49:43

>> because I liked them and I knew a bunch

00:49:44

of you guys, so I was like, I'm gonna

00:49:45

watch this. But then my kids were like,

00:49:47

"Oh, the the Adam Sandler, the

00:49:49

Grown-Ups."

00:49:50

>> Yeah, that's a fun one for families.

00:49:51

It's a good family movie, actually. how

00:49:53

much things have changed that in the

00:49:55

first grown-ups the reviews and the way

00:49:57

they used to our friend Adam again the

00:50:00

way they would just [ __ ] on Adam Sandler

00:50:02

for so long

00:50:03

>> and we all knew he was brilliant and he

00:50:06

he's not trying to make Apocalypse now

00:50:08

he's making a family comedy I I sent him

00:50:10

a text and go no this is a really really

00:50:12

great funny movie not that he needed it

00:50:14

but

00:50:15

>> he goes

00:50:16

>> oh first of all this by the way [ __ ]

00:50:19

murderers row of people in both those

00:50:20

movies are the cast right every single

00:50:23

person because and I know it's Saturday

00:50:25

Night Live heavy, but who gives a [ __ ]

00:50:27

Everybody's a [ __ ] killer who comes

00:50:30

into the into the cast. So, number one.

00:50:32

Number two, they're [ __ ] funny

00:50:34

movies. Number three, now he's it's the

00:50:36

last laugh is on them because

00:50:38

>> he's turned into a great actor and he

00:50:40

can make big funny movies.

00:50:42

>> Yeah. Yeah. He can he can do both.

00:50:44

>> Yeah. I mean, I don't know if you guys

00:50:45

saw Jay Kelly, the movie with

00:50:48

>> Yeah.

00:50:48

>> Clooney where he's playing the manager.

00:50:50

Man, he's [ __ ] He's side by side with

00:50:53

a true Hall of Fame movie star, a guy

00:50:56

that can do anything, right?

00:50:58

>> And look, there's Sandler.

00:51:00

>> I think they're finally coming around on

00:51:01

him. It's taken forever, but they're all

00:51:03

finally like he was at the Santa Barbara

00:51:05

Film Festival this weekend. I'm like,

00:51:07

yeah,

00:51:07

>> finally. And it must be It's just I'm

00:51:09

sure he feels weird about it. Like,

00:51:11

>> where were you guys? Like, you just

00:51:12

stepped on his neck for so long.

00:51:14

>> There's a herd mentality.

00:51:17

>> It's a herd mentality for sure.

00:51:18

>> You know, and it goes like that. How

00:51:20

were your reviews throughout your time?

00:51:23

I've never seen one, so I don't know

00:51:24

what were they pretty.

00:51:26

>> They were they were um uh they were

00:51:30

great, I guess. Well, they were great

00:51:31

for No Cure for Cancer. They were great

00:51:33

um you know, when I for certain movies

00:51:35

like The Ref, which is still a great

00:51:37

movie,

00:51:39

>> but

00:51:40

I did I had to learn how to act as I

00:51:42

first became famous because I was a

00:51:44

theater actor and I didn't have a lot of

00:51:46

experience in front of the camera. Um,

00:51:48

so I made, you know, I ba I made like

00:51:51

The Sandlot, which was the first movie I

00:51:53

did,

00:51:54

>> but I did that movie

00:51:56

>> because I thought like, oh,

00:51:58

>> I can, this is a different part for me

00:52:00

and I'll this will help me learn how to

00:52:02

act on camera because it's very small in

00:52:04

terms of performance,

00:52:06

>> uh, in terms of the size of the

00:52:08

performance. And then I did like [ __ ]

00:52:10

because I had two kids. I, you know, I

00:52:12

was, again, no credit cards when I first

00:52:13

got famous and I had two babies. So I

00:52:16

was like I did Demolition Man with

00:52:18

[ __ ]

00:52:20

>> Stallone and Schneider

00:52:24

Stallone.

00:52:25

>> I did I [ __ ] I You know what? He was

00:52:28

the nicest [ __ ] guy.

00:52:29

>> Oh yeah. He's old school. He would never

00:52:32

>> he was such a pro.

00:52:33

>> You know I liked your your thing, you

00:52:35

know, no cure for cancer. You know what

00:52:37

I'm talking about? He's [ __ ] He was

00:52:39

such a [ __ ] mench. And he I've told

00:52:42

this story before, but like I was I'm

00:52:45

fresh off the [ __ ] tree, right?

00:52:47

>> Yeah.

00:52:47

>> And I I just did a tiny little baseball

00:52:49

movie with a bunch of kids

00:52:52

>> and um and I go to first day on on

00:52:55

Demolition Man to do the costume

00:52:57

changes.

00:52:58

>> And uh so they go, "You're going to go

00:53:00

into the I think it was Warner Brothers.

00:53:02

You're going to go on the lot. They're

00:53:03

going to show you the outfits and

00:53:05

everything and you're gonna meet Sly.

00:53:06

He's going to be there." And I was like,

00:53:07

"Oh, great." So I go, and you know, it's

00:53:09

all science fiction [ __ ] So they put me

00:53:11

in this [ __ ] metallic.

00:53:13

>> Stupid as [ __ ]

00:53:14

>> Yeah. And then they go, "Uh, hey, boom.

00:53:17

Slide slice here and he wants you to go

00:53:19

up down the, you know, a couple stages

00:53:21

down. He wants to say hi." So I'm walk

00:53:23

I'm in science fiction [ __ ]

00:53:25

demolition gear.

00:53:26

>> Yeah.

00:53:27

>> And I when I first pulled in, I saw this

00:53:29

giant batting cage like off in the

00:53:31

distance. And I was like, I wonder where

00:53:32

they have a batting cage. Well, now I'm

00:53:34

walking and I turn this corner with this

00:53:36

[ __ ] PA and he's like, "Yeah, he's

00:53:38

00:53:39

>> And it's a giant [ __ ] um net for

00:53:42

00:53:45

>> and there's a ballro guy dressed like a

00:53:50

golf pro and he's

00:53:53

>> just driving both [ __ ] [ __ ] slicing

00:53:56

00:53:59

>> Pretty good.

00:54:01

00:56:22

>> Yeah, you've had quite a quite a time. I

00:56:24

The only last question I have for you is

00:56:26

00:56:27

with the original wife, you know, so the

00:56:30

before wife.

00:56:31

>> So are you, right?

00:56:33

>> Yeah. And so there's a given time where

00:56:35

it's like, you know, you're having

00:56:37

success and you're starting to make

00:56:38

money, like real money, and you're sort

00:56:40

of like, I guess we're kind of rich now.

00:56:43

you you weren't rich, but in relative

00:56:45

terms, I don't know when that happened

00:56:47

for you where you've went, we're making

00:56:49

a lot of money right now. It's kind of a

00:56:51

heady thing that happens to people get

00:56:53

successful in show business.

00:56:55

>> What was the first?

00:56:57

>> Well, that was right around that period

00:56:59

because it went some from zero to 60 so

00:57:03

quick, right? I did that Sandlot movie.

00:57:07

>> Um the you know, uh

00:57:10

>> So, you got paid for that? got well I

00:57:12

got paid for that but then because of

00:57:14

the rushes there was there was a good

00:57:16

word of mouth on that movie. They like

00:57:18

the dailies and previews.

00:57:21

>> So now they know I can act. So they're

00:57:23

like, you know, [ __ ] Jeffrey Kzenberg

00:57:25

was running um uh all those branches of

00:57:29

Disney movies at the time, Touchstone,

00:57:32

all those. So he was like, we had this

00:57:34

script called The Ref, which was written

00:57:36

by a friend of mine, Richard Lradies,

00:57:37

who had already been nominated for an

00:57:39

Oscar for that Robin Williams movie, The

00:57:42

Fisher King.

00:57:43

>> Okay. So it was a Oscar nominated

00:57:45

writer, Ted Demi, one of my best friends

00:57:47

who was

00:57:48

>> buddies. Yeah.

00:57:49

>> Yeah. He did my TV spots. So we had we

00:57:53

had that script. So not only did they

00:57:55

want us to make that movie, but they

00:57:57

gave me and Ted deals, like free picture

00:58:01

deals.

00:58:01

>> Oh. Oh. Oh.

00:58:02

>> Automatically there's just a ton of

00:58:04

money. And then I'm doing like [ __ ]

00:58:07

Demolition Man, Judgement Night, you

00:58:09

know, all these big movies. So like we

00:58:11

had a lot of money all of a sudden from

00:58:13

having nothing.

00:58:14

>> Um.

00:58:15

>> Right. Yeah. How it happens.

00:58:17

>> Yeah. So and it was great and I was

00:58:19

learning how to to act as I went along.

00:58:21

So I'm like this is I knew I wanted to

00:58:22

be like a character actor because that

00:58:24

had longevity because I knew the standup

00:58:26

you can always do right.

00:58:27

>> Yeah. You can always go back to it.

00:58:29

>> Yeah. Exactly. So um and I was [ __ ]

00:58:32

getting to work with like you know you

00:58:34

guys know that it's like you're working

00:58:35

with your heroes.

00:58:36

>> Yeah.

00:58:37

>> So fun.

00:58:37

>> Or meeting them for sure.

00:58:40

Guys, I gotta tell you one of the I met

00:58:42

so many [ __ ] and worked with so many

00:58:44

of my heroes, but the guy I got to tell

00:58:46

you, you guys know this to be true.

00:58:48

>> I did this movie called Small Soldiers

00:58:50

with Phil Hartman,

00:58:52

>> of course.

00:58:53

>> And Small Soldiers was like, you know,

00:58:54

00:59:14

>> I mean, dude, and that director was Joe

00:59:17

Dante, and he wanted us to improvise and

00:59:18

stuff and play around. Um, we, that guy

00:59:22

[ __ ] made us laugh sometimes. He was

00:59:24

making me laugh so hard while we were
