00:03:09
are like it's like complet it's all new like there's none of the none of the classics you know you there's no there's
00:03:15
no Tom Han it's oh the guest uh the host yeah all the all the hosts and so the
00:03:21
when I watch it now I'm like oh I could maybe do it now because that it's just like they're much nicer and warmer it
00:03:27
seems like and it feels I don't know it feels like that you used to have to come on and kill in the uh in your opening
00:03:34
monolog interesting observation so now the host don't have to be no they they are they're really funny but it's it's
00:03:41
much more gentle and kind about they're like I'm so honored to be here this is so exciting emal almost serious yeah
00:03:48
little political statement yeah and and a little bit of like this is you know what SNL meant to them growing up and
00:03:54
how much it means to them to be there now like even you know leev shriber did a whole like this is such a big deal to
00:04:01
me and I was like huh and Martin Short is on top of a piano [Applause]
00:04:06
I he's crushing right and so it's not as hard
00:04:11
on the jokes as it was back when it would did they reach
00:04:17
out to you I would imagine during your 10 years or 11 years there was there was a a soft there were some you weren on
00:04:25
NBC they're pretty loyal you were not on NBC right you're ABC or no I was on n see when David um tracked me down I
00:04:33
don't knowy that was Ed I did a show called Ed oh that is the terminology yes yeah
00:04:38
tracked I was doing Ed when you were doing he stalked you he stalked me we were at this I was with Willie
00:04:46
gonar yes was and that he was on he invited me as he's like I've had this
00:04:52
said to me more than once you look like somebody's got a nice dress hanging in the closet it's like the day before some
00:04:58
award show clearly everyone else has dropped out could you possibly Chuck on your dress and show up that wasn't me that was
00:05:05
Willie no that was Willie okay so I went with Willie and you were there with Steve latan and you walked by me and
00:05:12
then walked right back again and go hey do I know you I know
00:05:18
you what's up and I said no you no I think I said do we have the same Barber
00:05:24
Spade has patter with women I mean just just even the attendant or whoever you
00:05:31
do you have a good they like the funny matters my family when I started dating
00:05:36
David my family was like oh dear God they're like what and I said funny
00:05:42
counts I don't need to hear behind counts that's the name of your next book foney counts go does it count that much
00:05:49
honey counts it counts a lot because you like Laura Michael said once you can't marry a face because eventually you
00:05:56
could you don't even see the face you so you have to marry a personality what's better than someone makes you laugh all
00:06:02
day long right David so David David tried to track me down through but this where he shot the channels are we
00:06:08
allowed to swear on your show what the [ __ ] I don't think we can say track me down again but we can swear how did you
00:06:13
what kind of tracking device did he use private detective he had no a publicist okay which was such a [ __ ] SE I want
00:06:21
to be tracked down isn't it flattering to be TR down a little bit not by a publicist there's no other way by
00:06:28
Telegram figured out when you figured out that cuz the first I told you I was a a dog walker okay cuz you were like I
00:06:35
know you I no cuz I and I was like if he doesn't know what am I'm going to give you my resume no you had no idea who I
00:06:42
was you just you did the right thing thought I was cute I said I was a dog walker you're like and then I ran into
00:06:48
another party somewhere and then the next thing I knew I had you did track me down through you figured out I would had
00:06:54
been Happy Gilmore with Sandler okay but we anytime mentioned I try to do that
00:07:01
and she did the best but you didn't you didn't bother to go through Adam you didn't go through anybody personal I didn't think I want Adam knowing my
00:07:07
personal business what this is a Conan Johnson PR firm and we're looking for was literally this woman uh I don't
00:07:14
remember her name but he she tracked me down I had a bunch of a couple calls from her David would like to talk to you
00:07:20
David would like and I was like [ __ ] that they would like to see in his office you literally were [ __ ] that well I got like [ __ ] that a publicist

00:08:18

00:08:26

00:09:01
was laid up for a while in very pain I uh started to come to my sens I don't even remember these calls because it was
00:09:07
it was so much pain so much calls so much pain I didn't even know about vikin until right after this so uh anyway
00:09:14
about vik by the time we date yeah you little V chippies yeah I remember a lot
00:09:19
of that oh yeah I had the Puka shell made a viking in at your necklace everybody needs to
00:09:26
know about David is that he's the most like sensitive um delicate flour who has
00:09:32
low blood sugar has to carry around a little rat bag full of like turkey and there's protein bars all over this
00:09:38
mansion and and like even though having a puppy he wants to go like party but
00:09:44
it's at like 6 p.m. 6:30 and bed and bed at 8:45 but we're Kindred Spirits we
00:09:51
like to eat at 3:30 we ask the restaurants to
00:09:58
open I mean I love both of you guys so much I can't even tell you I want to go into your career and your stuff and
00:10:04
everything you've done to influence me uh you know I wanted to be Dana Carvey I
00:10:10
I wanted to be that's my whole reason for getting on S live and that was my whole thing oh you said David's Spade
00:10:18
wrong I think that's age it's that's age related because David that's I wanted to
00:10:25
be I was sitting behind at rther with a knife well yeah you were you were my you
00:10:30
were my surrogate you were my standing sometimes I doing the church chat rehearsals David had to get the dress on
00:10:35
and sit in there for camera blocking which I thought just for a few minutes can you sit in there Dana is resting but
00:10:41
Jimmy you were 12 when I got on SNL and that's what I call the Peak formative
00:10:47
year it's like when I was listening to Monty Python or whatever gets in your brain at that age and through high
00:10:53
school so I I appreciate you bro thank you I can't tell you how much I would I
00:10:58
I was such a SNL nerd I would uh I would record it every Saturday night I would be by myself I wouldn't be uh I I didn't
00:11:06
want friends over I didn't want anyone around me my parents I didn't want anyone near me I just wanted to study the show and watch it and I I videotape
00:11:12
it then I remember like my favorite sketches and then I would go to parties like uh whatever on the next week or
00:11:19
whatever and I would bring vide tapes with me with the best clips of SNL like I was like a human uh YouTube uh just
00:11:26
going or watch this part and watch this thing but I mean I was like I loved the chopping
00:11:32
broccoli she went downtown but can I tell
00:11:39
you she's a lady I know if I didn't know her she be I didn't know did you ever
00:11:47
put that out like is that out on Spotify or something no the only thing I want to say which was mind blowing a few years
00:11:54
back when I did your show and then I just it wasn't my idea but all of a sudden they go uh Jimmy wants to do Cho
00:12:01
and broccoli with an orchestra remember that it was [ __ ] crazy so that was
00:12:07
the mic drop of CH Brock there was a string orchestra and then I was playing CH
00:12:12
Brockley on a baby gr I had a herble hair day cuz New York water just flattened it but anyway that's just my
00:12:19
but i cho broccoli and I took it really far she chopped
00:12:25
she that's 20 that's a 20 minute bit in my standup you can imagine but anyway that's so you Jimmy we do have a a kism
00:12:33
there's a connection to this musicality of what we do and the way you do Impressions and everything I brought a
00:12:40
guitar I mean I'm in my office so will you play something for us that'd be that'd be awesome you know Dana while
00:12:46
while Jimmy's fussing around I have to say that if you're on SNL and you can play an instrument Jimmy's like the
00:12:52
perfect SNL guy he plays an instrument he's marginally good-looking he um voted sexi as one of
00:13:00
the voted one of the tallest hosts U of the year and he he's got a
00:13:07
harmonic [ __ ] guy I know he's I know he's going to do that Supernatural he's
00:13:12
either going to do he's going to do one of three either Dylan Lennon or Springsteen which are all brilliant
00:13:18
dillian Dylan's won but I thought maybe Neil Young too oh Neil Young deal yeah
00:13:24
just give me anything this this I'm being entertained Now by my guest Neil Young harmonica like he plays it
00:13:30
differently than Dylan did Neil Young plays harmonica like with the song so he's [Music]
00:13:41
like there something changed yeah it's good now yeah can you hear it now now we hear it
00:13:49
perfect okay all right so like Neil Young Neil Young plays the harmonica like with the the with the with the with
00:13:55
the notes yeah so it's
00:14:01
[Music]
00:14:06
like David and Dana sitting in a tree Dana and
00:14:15
Dave we're just a fly on the wall down the hall of SN
00:14:24
L that's pretty good s l SN
00:14:31
Dana Dave anyone ever call you Dave some people do you have to you have to get in
00:14:37
the real tight circles and then Dylan's faster Dylan's like yeah a lot of up and
00:14:44
back like he hits the highest note of the harmonica and just screams it so like
00:14:53
yeah is yeah it yeah this the dat
00:15:03
[Applause] [Music]
00:15:09
he runs out of stuff he hits the harmonica yeah exactly when he runs out of lyrics have you heard Rough and Ready
00:15:15
his latest album Rough and Ready Bob Dylan yes God it's brilliant it good
00:15:21
soon after midnight is a masterpiece but he's got his new voice which is well he has that's what I mean that this other
00:15:27
voice I don't I haven't really tried to do it but it's pretty special it's really soon after midnight and I got a
00:15:35
date with a fa queen with the fairy queen I love seeing him in see him in
00:15:40
concert cuz sometimes he doesn't feel like performing and he's just out there and he's going
00:15:47
like and every's like oh man this is weird and then he's like how does it feel and you oh I love this song oh my
00:15:57
God do you mind if had L called Chevy times
00:16:02
did you ever meet Farley in the old days Chris Farley yes sir I I did and Lauren
00:16:09
had asked me to talk to him about the drug issue you know Chevy if you could talk
00:16:17
to Chris might help might not but might I like your Lauren it's kind of quiet will
00:16:24
you do a little Lauren first yes um it's that thing of like if you could talk to OB Chris you know about drugs it might
00:16:32
be like a really good thing I love his so I did talk to him
00:16:37
and how'd it go well he didn't have enough drugs for both of us
00:16:43

00:18:07
National Lampoon right became one of my best friends actually became my best friend
00:18:14
and uh
00:18:20
uh that's all I got love did he write Animal House did he write Animal House
00:18:26
Doug yeah he was one of the writers I think that U Harold stepped in there too
00:18:33
Harold Ramis it was always uh what's his name who wrote these things the book or the thing uh John was it Landis no
00:18:40
Jonathan John Hughes John Hughes yeah uh but U TR with uh what was the movie I
00:18:47
did with Harold um vacation honey right thank you vacation uh yeah de and Harold
00:18:54
completely rewrote it yeah yeah you have to rewrite him Hughes oh I see cuz he's not really he
00:19:01
was not comedic like you guys he he not Jewish oh well if he gives you a
00:19:08
blueprint of a great movie you can fix it chff uh during the podcast puts his hands up like he's holding a loaf of
00:19:14
bread and looks at of bread show it his
00:19:21
uh that's quite a Loa I know it's quite a Loa I uh Ed wants a
00:19:27
slate oh boy oh oh
00:19:36
blabby do you do a Lauren impression everybody everyone in this
00:19:42
oral history of Satur night life only because I've never met anyone like that you know what I'm saying and like no one
00:19:48
has and I was I'd seen Austin Powers a million times before I actually got the job so then I went there and I'm like so
00:19:56
wait he's not admitting that this is that this is totally
00:20:01
that that sounds like a new sketch this is that this is totally that this is totally that
00:20:08
yeah well did you have any Lauren isms we sometimes collect you know things that he says to people you know the
00:20:15
initial one was never never um never underestimate the value of water is a
00:20:21
kind of a a touch stone for a lot of people yeah and he also like has a way
00:20:27
of like summing up large occurrences in in the world it's like yeah because you
00:20:33
know Elvis was a twin so it's that it's like what what what does that mean um
00:20:39
Hitler was a painter Hitler was a painter and so it's all that so it's it's that War II I never know what that
00:20:46
is yeah yeah I don't know I don't know what you mean you're who should take over for Lauren uh Keen do you have any
00:20:51
ideas any who's good enough to handle that job Higgins hands down Higgins you know what I mean like I have it on a
00:20:57
list Steve Higgins yeah I mean Higgins is a no-brainer um but Eric kenward is
00:21:04
out there you know like Aaron Doyle you know the people that have been there for a longer period of time I think Colin
00:21:11
you know myself I don't know Chay like we can all handle it like if we all wanted to stick entertain if they if
00:21:19
they approach you yeah like why not it'll keep me in New York it'll keep me you know in a stable environment which
00:21:26
is hard for an actor I'm just going to write write your name down for a second I'm just keep write it down put it in
00:21:32
the universe thanks that's great I I think you um uh we don't have pens I
00:21:37
don't have I'm disorganized zth Meers and Tina Fay as yeah all of them you know what I mean like anybody that's
00:21:44
especially been a person with a pencil in their back pocket for a week you know just fishing for jokes and like knows
00:21:50
the structure of the show so Seth Tina any one of them I think you know that have had a good run at it and enjoy it
00:21:58
they they can get it you know you're interesting because you're 20 years you know every in andout you know what's
00:22:05
going if you just perked your ears up to like budgets and stuff you could figure out pretty but there's also like the
00:22:11
other element where Lauren is such a rockstar and he has so many like you
00:22:16
know pick up the phone favor kind of you know moments that he can make happen the show the the network or the studio just
00:22:24
deals with them and keeps them away from us you know Keeps Us protected like he's
00:22:29
just an OG so someone that can continue that kind of thing and like make it a
00:22:35
safe space for us and then also make a phone call and get a legend in there at the last minute if it if it needs to to
00:22:41
be that yes there's a lot of off Lael things that he's doing that go beyond
00:22:47
executive producer and I think he does always develop a fondness for his cast members you can feel it you know I mean
00:22:53
he's talked very nicely about you almost in a paternal way with other cast members you become comes the de facto
00:22:59
dad that no one ever had or something even though I'm three years older than him he's still kind of my dad yeah
00:23:06
that's so crazy yeah but uh that must be a crazy dynamic because yeah he's the one we all kind of turn to because if
00:23:13
he's not happy like you know the shit's not getting on you know what I'm saying like if he's not [ __ ] with it then that's that's the end all be all so I've
00:23:20
gone to him for a lot of different you know nothing
00:23:25
pertaining to the show kind of advice because he just gives that air basically like you know if you have a question or
00:23:32
you know if you have a situation we can help you with it you know nothing's too you know go ahead too terrible that we
00:23:39
can't fix it yeah oh yeah and my when I was sort of you call it Wilderness years or raising a family whatever you want to
00:23:45
call it but then I ran into the Lauren he's just like he said um everyone knows who you
00:23:51
are you know it's just Lauren and a very supportive little like you know whenever
00:23:56
you're ready you just can do it some more um but yeah he's brilliant at those
00:24:02
kind of um just been there seen it all and then stepdad to me because he used
00:24:07
to ground me and hit me okay you want to talk talk about that hitting part no a
00:24:14
lot of people did um let's break some news we got a trend we got a trend man handful you were like the spoiled child
00:24:21
David's like a little boy and you have to take care of him Dana will you bounce him on your
00:24:28
knee David need a Spanky David David he need a little Spanky and he's in a
00:24:34
Timeout don't talk to him I'm not going to use any sort of object or or or
00:24:39
spatula I'm going to go full hand yeah but it'll be just on the bottom skin on
00:24:46
skin that's good for Lauren skin on
00:24:53
skin in the soap opas they would come in and go straight to the the bar there was never a TV on in the soap offers right
00:25:01
and so I would make up a makeshift bar and have Kool-Aid in a in a vase that you could see through uh that was my
00:25:08
caraffe and then I would have uh ice and um and tongs to put and then when my
00:25:14
mother would walk in I would stand the way the camera shots you know how and soap offers open Out camera the camera
00:25:22
comes in and then the person is talking to them from the back of it like a rack Focus yeah kind of mhm right so I my
00:25:30
mother would come in and I go mother you startled me I didn't hear you come in mother you start yeah and she would
00:25:37
go like this who the [ __ ] left the uh the door open with the air conditioner on and I would go like this in my mind
00:25:46
cut God so your survival mechanism was to almost live inside a soap opera was
00:25:52
actual I lived inside and no one knew what I was doing it was really crazy
00:25:58
myself and then I would watch like Little House on the Prairie I'd go upstairs put my hair in plats you know
00:26:04
in braids and they get on my Prairie pajamas and I would come down and my mom would be in the kitchen I go ma when's
00:26:12
PA coming and she goes what I go when's PA coming home and she goes I don't know
00:26:17
but you better have [ __ ] money cut so it was like my dad didn't live
00:26:25
with us so it was like whatever you know and in my mind I was constantly
00:26:31
cut cuz it wasn't going the way you wanted it wasn't going like a TV show
00:26:36
you can't curse on TV and I'm just and she and then I remember I would watch like um The Ten Commandments was just on
00:26:45
the other night oh the movie The Original because it's Easter Easter is
00:26:50
coming so they you know and I used to live for the Ten Commandments you know and um and I would be watching it and
00:26:57
I'd go in the other room my mom and her friend are smoking cigarettes and you know talking and I would get a ladle and
00:27:03
I would give it to fill it with water and give it to my mom and say Mom can you hand this to me and she's like what
00:27:09
what do you want Shar and I go just hand it to me and then my mom's friend would say honey I'll hand it to you and I go
00:27:15
no no no and my mom go I'll hand it to you just give it to me so I she would take it and then she would hand it to me
00:27:21
and I would drink it down really fast and I go you are kind I will dwell in this land and goes dwell in the other
00:27:29
room um have you done a one woman show about this relationship and then and then my friend
00:27:36
I I I would say to my mom's friend you are strong you stood up to the
00:27:42
Malachite and so you were kind you remember that from well I just know the Cades I I actually read the Bible after
00:27:48
I saw it when I was like eight or something I started reading the Bible after I saw are you serious oh yeah I
00:27:53
was just like maybe this is true man this looks pretty real I was like you know I was like seven I it was like a
00:27:58
documentary to me I'm gonna get to the bottom of this religions thing and I'm G to open the book he's like real thing
00:28:06
and then he goes oh there is one at the library let me delve into this a little bit Dana that's adorable and years later
00:28:14
just a flash which I want to ask you too I'm with charlon Hon on SNL and lawren want to get him to do Church chat church
00:28:20
lady with Moses and he didn't want to do it we're kind of pressure I didn't want to pressure him but he goes just isn't
00:28:26
oh my God that awesome it's so surreal those kind of things but back to this I just want to
00:28:32
couch this for a second so your mother's you probably love love she's very
00:28:37
aggressive there's a lot of tension in the house you escape into these shows and use three dimensional props to kind
00:28:44
of become a part of these calming shows the Ten Commandments did you have a
00:28:50
crush on Michael Landon I was going to ask cuz wasn't he sort of a Teen Idol in a way for a while yeah um uh well Little
00:28:56
House in the prayer no I mean did I I like the blind girl I thought he
00:29:03
was David's like what I could have done with she couldn't see that I'm not that
00:29:08
cute I would just tell her I was not with that lighting not with this
00:29:13
lighting you can't see him listeners but David's got Gothic kind of lighting on
00:29:18
him my hair looks cool and No One Believes Me and I don't care I'm going to the we have great hats I got to you have a hat on well because I I was
00:29:25
throwing you guys off cuz there was so much shade in my face and lighting it look crazy so Sherry this is so
00:29:32
interesting I'm just so you know when I think about you uh as a performer just the word that comes in is committed not
00:29:39
as a woman well as a woman that's a whole other that's a that'll be our second hour we'll delve into your
00:29:45
sexuality and everything you know no you're a very attractive
00:29:50
question you know sue me and I we adore you but were you as committed I mean
00:29:56
you're so committed you're watching watching these shows little kid you got props and you're talking like Biblical characters to your mom what the [ __ ] are
00:30:02
you doing I so love you mother how did this inform you as a performer I mean obviously you developed an ear and you
00:30:08
were theatrical but you'd never done anything official till you go into Groundlings and then how many years into
00:30:16
that were you in the main company and ready for SNL how long did it take um I did two years of classes and then two
00:30:23
years in the Sunday company writing and Performing every Sunday and uh and then
00:30:29
I got into the main company I was in the main company for a year and a half and I would say that SNL was my first job wow
00:30:37
and that was you were prepped enough right because you were doing pretty much exactly SNL pretty much yeah I mean I
00:30:43
just kept the same kind of writing and
00:30:48
um and just uh you know just kept there's you know I
00:30:55
learned the difference between theater and television I remember writing something in uh in the Groundlings that
00:31:02
that did really well but it died and I remember and I remember
00:31:08
um Quinn Colin Quinn saying Sher I don't know if this is going to come off the
00:31:14
way it did in theater because when you talk out in theater on a stage the the
00:31:21
audience can imagine the fourth wall if you do it on television you just look
00:31:26
crazy if you're talking out you know what I'm saying and I did not know the
00:31:31
difference between that and I remember it was Kevin spacy and I had done this
00:31:36
character where she has a party every year in the same party and only two
00:31:42
people show up but she acts like there's a lot of people there she says all the things that you say when it's a really
00:31:49
packed party you know what I mean did you find parking um excuse me I just got
00:31:54
a request um the the the uh uh the KAG is beat we're a young party the KAG is
00:32:01
beat we got to put I'm going to pass a hat around and all these things and I
00:32:07
did it with Kevin spacy and it just died because of what he said because a lot of
00:32:13
it was me talking out to people that weren't there and it's kind of confusing
00:32:18
but um and then I remember Lauren always saying Sherry do you know where your
00:32:23
camera is and um I thought it was a trick question I go um yeah no you don't
00:32:29
and because the people at home would like to see the people at home would like to see you too and I didn't even
00:32:34
know what he [Music]
00:32:39
meant Kanasas is now you play basketball M did I just the only thing I ask I'll
00:32:46
ask this first can could you touch the rim I could could you dunk a baseball I
00:32:51
could dunk a baseball yes I probably dunked a basketball 10 times in my life shut up during a game with a referee I
00:32:59
was just talking about this yesterday any Witnesses there's basketball going on right now you know a lot of basketball so I'm just yeah so duning on
00:33:06
everyone's mind or1 61 what's your wingspan oh probably 61 probably nothing nothing spectacular pretty good vertical
00:33:13
to get a basketball it was also adrenaline I also had a lot of friends that could jump and so it's a little bit of peer pressure that way too where just
00:33:18
come on just shut up and do it but I I do remember if I dun 10 times six of them uh six of those times were one day
00:33:24
after playing basketball like in between juniors senior year you know no no sophomore junior year like during summer
00:33:31
that's unreal dude if my dad put up a 9 foot hoop and it [ __ ] all the kids cuz we were awesome on the OT and then we go
00:33:38
to high school what the hell air after a yeah exactly I can get
00:33:43
the net I can dunk on the net 9 foot is awesome it's it's it was a uh it's less of a big deal now I feel like you know
00:33:50
shooting threes off the dribble is what it's all about now cuz of you know Steph Curry and whatnot but back in yeah back when I was playing dunking was the
00:33:56
biggest deal in the world I mean that's the we I was the the test market for those strength shoes you know that they
00:34:02
you know really that would kind of create yeah I mean I had a pair for the legit reason I would jump roping them
00:34:07
all the time lot of lot of time spent on that but yeah you know when they do it now it's they go past half court it's
00:34:15
like one step two step shoot it and you go Jesus how do you guard you don't know what's happening he changed everything
00:34:21
it's just one two boom and you go and then they make it 90% of the time yeah him Caitlyn Clark on the you know the
00:34:27
women's college you know circuit too I mean it's all all over the place all all over the world yeah just shooting you play Sandler i Adam and I have played I
00:34:35
think we may have played once or twice but not not not enough to have a Scouting Report I hear he's good I know
00:34:43
he gets into it he's competitive too oh yeah yeah what are you doing it's all
00:34:48
funny games till the game starts like get open I go what you don't talk to me like that Jesus Happy Gilmore
00:34:57
I'm not he check the call sheet I all right you you are not triggering financing out here buddy we are all the
00:35:03
same no I but um but no he he plays he's played in a game with uh my buddy Sam
00:35:09
Jones that I've played in a few times and Buddy Brad Morris but yeah I haven't played maybe once or twice I mean the
00:35:16
probably the best the most fun I'd have playing in the was was hearing the stories of Gary Shandling game than
00:35:21
getting invited to go play uh in that with Sarah silver oh you did yeah and and before and then and then a huge
00:35:28
thing was when when Gary was like hey you can come without Sarah if you want
00:35:34
that's a big deal lovely like a lovely sort of cuz I'd read about that game forever like yeah absolutely Sarah you I mean
00:35:41
who were the regulars oh my gosh I mean McKay was there jiller uh Jimmy was there a couple times I I used to go in
00:35:48
the early early not early early days but I there was a run there when I went and I was no good and I sort of got pushed in the background yeah yeah just not the
00:35:55
emails anymore Mugsy boges out there I was I was like uh you know distraction
00:36:01
whatever they call it yeah I just watch you on the out there like on the side just like you know we need we need five
00:36:07
to keep it even you go out there and run around circles or a Spud Web I would have been a Spud Web but no I got out of
00:36:12
that quickly I was yeah I was D basketball in high school and our Center was literally 5-3 he controlled the
00:36:18
paint yeah that was when they had D basketball 5 foot tall 91 lbs as a freshman what about you were you always
00:36:24
a bearded stud in high school were you a no I was it was a a beard of acne like
00:36:29
any of us right like um no I don't think I could grow a beard until about an hour before I got
00:36:38
here how did your anger Express itself then to you I mean here's the weird
00:36:43
thing it's when I was um I mean my childood I was bullied ridiculously half of it the
00:36:50
bullying because I was just a little guy and then I got bust to school so I got I
00:36:56
was a guy and I was black right hard so it's like I'm getting double bullied I
00:37:02
would if I was white I would have probably got bullied too but it was just like you're also supposed to be tough
00:37:09
probably yeah it was pretty rough right and it was pretty like every day so I
00:37:15
it's weird I had a weird uh temper I'm gonna it's gonna be a weird thing I was
00:37:21
the oldest of seven mhm and and I was weird weird smaller than
00:37:27
my younger brothers so it was a weird thing where your brothers like hey so
00:37:33
and so down the block bothered me and I'm I'm like I gotta [ __ ] go protect oh Andre Tony and I'm [ __ ] smaller
00:37:42
than that so anyway one day a guy a guy really disrespected me really bad like
00:37:49
mushed me at a party and like mush me and push like kind of like kick sand on
00:37:54
my face in front of girls and [ __ ] and I went home I put a brick in a book
00:38:02
bag this is like a legendary story in my neigh Bad Boys yeah and I [ __ ] swung
00:38:09
that [ __ ] and smacked this guy in the face with this brick and then stomped him Joe pesy style wow now to the point
00:38:19
we thought he might die for like even like three days later every time a cop or whatever would come through the block
00:38:25
would be like we're literally talking about ways of getting me to down south like that would have helped huh long
00:38:32
story short from that day on as my shrink puts it to me you've
00:38:39
been scared to be angry ever since so I so the guy you
00:38:44
saw was bending over backwards to be nice because I was so scared of my anle yeah
00:38:52
I see frightened of what you know my my
00:38:57
shrink my good the good shrink I got you know like the top top guy there's good
00:39:04
ones and bad ones definitely there good ones and bad ones you know and he broke it down it's like we got to get you over
00:39:11
that incident right because you're a nice guy and this guy brought out
00:39:16
something in you and you're so scared of that thing coming out of you again yeah
00:39:22
that you let the whole world walk all over your friends walk over you your
00:39:28
family walks over you your your your female relationships like everybody just
00:39:33
[ __ ] you over because it's somewhere in there they know you there's a force F
00:39:39
holding you back interesting so so I'm like the opposite of you in
00:39:46
the sense that in the last year now I can get angry right I'm not scared I'm
00:39:51
not scared of letting people know how I feel about certain that my therapy was about that too though CU I was always
00:39:57
the nice guy holding stuff in and not really my aggression my competitiveness
00:40:03
overrode the nice guy CU people ask me who meet me now well did you just allow
00:40:08
other cast members like oh no Lauren do their sketch that kind of thing there was a natural competition in me but in
00:40:14
my personal relationships I I hated confrontation because when confrontation happened at my house bodies flew my dad
00:40:22
was just really violent so I even all my siblings are like that we don't like
00:40:28
confrontation too it wasn't violent per se but it was loud as [ __ ] yeah so but
00:40:34
those things stick with you just loud yeah it just sticks with you so now yeah
00:40:39
I can kind of I I can tell you um hey I didn't like what you said to me or I
00:40:44
didn't like what you without losing my head without hitting anybody that's that's a home run for
