00:00:00
You looked at whatever the piece of
00:00:01
paper you're like, "Oh, this is not
00:00:03
funny. I'm not gonna [laughter] do
00:00:04
this." They were, "No way."
00:00:06
>> They were going wild backstage like,
00:00:08
"God, the host."
00:00:10
>> You look around the audience, you
00:00:11
realize, "Oh, half these women think
00:00:13
they might like they they're [laughter]
00:00:15
here to potentially be pulled out of
00:00:18
this audience to be I did a show called
00:00:20
The Man Show that was designed
00:00:22
specifically to counteract Oprah and uh
00:00:26
my wife."
00:00:28
Well, we have James
00:00:31
Jimmy.
00:00:32
>> James Phineas Kimmel. No one knows that
00:00:35
that's his middle name.
00:00:36
>> Jim Kim,
00:00:38
>> also known on Howard Stern as Jimble
00:00:40
Kimble,
00:00:41
>> uh, is a friend of the show
00:00:44
and I've been on his show probably 20
00:00:46
times. That's, you know, when I'm
00:00:48
promoting, I usually pop by Fallon, pop
00:00:51
by Kimmel, and
00:00:52
>> there's no Ellen right now, but uh I
00:00:54
have a lot of fun with this this guy and
00:00:57
he's always a good audience. I will say
00:00:59
he's a good laugher.
00:01:00
>> I go on there,
00:01:02
>> he kind of lets me know. He knows kind
00:01:03
of what I might talk about. He just says
00:01:05
just go just start blabbing and he'll
00:01:08
chime in like something funny to add to
00:01:10
it. So, it's a good time on there. And
00:01:12
now we get him. We've had him before. He
00:01:14
interviewed us on here a while back. He
00:01:16
interviewed us. He came around and he's
00:01:19
um we got him on this podcast. He had
00:01:22
just finished his show.
00:01:25
>> All right. He was in person when he
00:01:26
interviewed us right here in this room.
00:01:28
And then we got him after the show and
00:01:30
he was nice enough to jump on with us.
00:01:33
And we talk about his show and how hard
00:01:35
it is to do it, how long he's going to
00:01:36
do it.
00:01:37
>> Yeah.
00:01:37
>> And we basically just laugh a lot.
00:01:40
>> Yeah. And we do get some inside baseball
00:01:43
about his personal life and what what
00:01:46
his happy place is not doing the show.
00:01:50
>> Do you have a happy place, David? You
00:01:52
know what's your happy place?
00:01:53
>> Not really.
00:01:54
>> Besides being on this podcast with me,
00:01:56
>> think of something else. Um,
00:02:00
>> when I'm uh in line at McDonald's at the
00:02:04
drive-thru.
00:02:06
Don Rickles used to say there was no
00:02:08
greater thing than when he would kill in
00:02:10
Vegas and he's in the jet. I don't know
00:02:12
if it's private or and he's flying away
00:02:14
with a big fat check. He did the work
00:02:17
and he got the money. That's
00:02:19
>> Yeah, I do I do say there's stuff in
00:02:22
life that's still fun and it is coming
00:02:24
up with a joke that works. When you
00:02:25
think about I thought of one yesterday
00:02:26
morning and I wrote it down. I was like
00:02:29
giggling going this might be funny. I'll
00:02:30
have to try it. I don't know what it is
00:02:32
right now. But that stuff is fun. And it
00:02:33
gives you a little endorphins.
00:02:36
>> Yeah. In the end of the day, that's
00:02:38
that's kind of what it is. Like Jay Leno
00:02:40
was obviously the uh Svengali of
00:02:42
standup, you know. Yeah. It's very
00:02:44
simple, you know, because people are
00:02:45
asking, "What do I do?" He goes, "Hey,
00:02:48
you write write joke,
00:02:50
>> tell joke, get check. Write joke, tell
00:02:53
joke, get check [laughter]
00:02:55
all into the drama and I should be a
00:02:57
middle act." And what do I write joke
00:02:59
tell? Someone stole my act. Write
00:03:01
another joke then. Just write more
00:03:03
jokes.
00:03:04
>> Anyway, here's Jimmy Kimmel.
00:03:06
>> Here's Jimmy Kimmel, not Jay Leno.
00:03:08
[laughter]
00:03:11
>> Hi there.
00:03:13
>> Or there's a rumor that you're going to
00:03:15
do Smartless after this. But
00:03:17
>> no, [laughter]
00:03:18
>> I mean, how many What when does
00:03:21
>> You couldn't do that after your whole
00:03:22
show.
00:03:24
>> How's it going, guys?
00:03:25
>> I get exhausted thinking about your
00:03:27
schedule.
00:03:28
>> This is bad enough. [laughter]
00:03:30
It's not, you know, it's, you get used
00:03:32
to anything, right? I mean, [laughter]
00:03:34
whatever the schedule is, you become
00:03:36
acclimated to it.
00:03:38
>> Yes.
00:03:39
>> Yeah. If you do a movie and you're doing
00:03:41
14 hours a day and you get a 12 hour
00:03:43
day, you're like, "Yes."
00:03:45
>> Yeah. Right.
00:03:46
>> If you do any other show and you work an
00:03:47
hour, you're like,
00:03:48
>> "Yeah." And when you and John Oliver and
00:03:52
Fallon and you know um all the all you
00:03:56
guys Coar come into the podcast world,
00:03:59
we will welcome you. There's 4 million
00:04:02
podcasts.
00:04:03
>> Thank you. Yeah, it's there. We need we
00:04:05
do need more for sure. I think it's
00:04:07
might be a bad sign for your podcast
00:04:09
that this is my second time on and I've
00:04:11
never I was only at Saturday Night Live
00:04:14
once. [laughter] I went to watch
00:04:16
>> I didn't even get it on your TV. Do you
00:04:19
realize how famous you are? How many
00:04:21
years is it? 23 year. I don't know. How
00:04:23
long have you been?
00:04:24
>> 23. We almost 23 on the show.
00:04:28
>> Yeah. J 23 in January. Know it's crazy,
00:04:31
right?
00:04:31
>> Can you go to a mall without a baseball
00:04:34
cap and no one knows who you are?
00:04:36
>> Why would you?
00:04:37
>> Are there still malls? You know, I do go
00:04:39
to the mall every once in a while. And
00:04:41
have you guys been to the mall?
00:04:43
>> I love it so much. Well, one is it's the
00:04:46
only time I get in the Christmas spirit
00:04:48
is a mall with all the music. And then I
00:04:51
saw a AI woman waving at me and
00:04:54
everywhere I went, she looked and winked
00:04:56
at me and it was like a hologram. So I I
00:04:59
do like a mall, you know.
00:05:00
>> That's What mall were you at? Are you
00:05:02
sure it's not at the mall and not
00:05:04
tripping or something? Because
00:05:05
>> Chico Chico, California.
00:05:07
>> Oh, yeah. That's the No, that's a
00:05:09
prison, Dana. That's You [laughter]
00:05:11
prison.
00:05:12
>> No, Jimmy. All [clears throat] kidding
00:05:14
aside, I know Dana likes to joke around.
00:05:15
I don't.
00:05:16
>> I joke around. David, give us a serious
00:05:19
question.
00:05:19
>> I went to the Grove this weekend and
00:05:22
there was all the uh the tree and all
00:05:25
the stuff. So, I see what Dana is
00:05:26
talking about. It's very
00:05:28
>> festive and I ate at the Cheesedick
00:05:30
Factory, which I still go to. I still
00:05:32
like. [laughter]
00:05:33
>> Wow.
00:05:34
>> And you know, there's some good stuff.
00:05:36
They have a new item on page 88
00:05:39
[laughter]
00:05:40
of the menu. It's longer than the Bible.
00:05:43
More chap. There are chapters [laughter]
00:05:46
on that menu.
00:05:47
>> Are salads? Where are salads? That's
00:05:49
chapter seven. I go, "Oh, okay.
00:05:52
>> Can you get everything in the world at
00:05:54
Jerry's Deli with the big laminated
00:05:57
still around?
00:05:58
>> It's gone. There's no deli. I just
00:06:01
myself." Okay.
00:06:02
>> Okay. You got to get out of the house.
00:06:03
>> Billy's Deli.
00:06:05
>> Billy's Deli. Yeah.
00:06:07
>> How [laughter] about Hamburger? Don't
00:06:08
tell me Hamburger Hamlet's not there.
00:06:11
>> Like, where can you play a good game of
00:06:13
pinball?
00:06:15
[clears throat and laughter]
00:06:15
[gasps]
00:06:16
>> I, you know, I'm nostalgic about
00:06:17
Hamburger Hamlet because of
00:06:19
>> I love that place. I used to go there
00:06:21
>> that one on a Dhenian sunset all the
00:06:24
time.
00:06:24
>> David, did I tell you I don't remember
00:06:26
if I told you this, but I saw you
00:06:28
walking one day and I [laughter] don't
00:06:30
know why.
00:06:31
>> How was he walking? He was just walking
00:06:33
on the street and I almost I I had to
00:06:36
pull a maneuver cuz I was like, "Oh, I
00:06:38
got to text him while he's walking." And
00:06:39
I don't know why that I thought that
00:06:41
would be a great thing to do, but it
00:06:43
became it was too dangerous. It was um
00:06:45
it was in Hollywood. You were walking
00:06:47
somewhere and I thought it was
00:06:49
interesting. And then the circle was
00:06:51
completed this evening when Kevin Nean
00:06:53
was on my show. You guys know Kevin. And
00:06:56
he said that of all the guests, of all
00:06:59
the 170 some odd guests on his show,
00:07:03
Hiking with Kevin, the most difficult
00:07:06
one to walk with, was none other than
00:07:07
David Spade.
00:07:09
>> Yeah.
00:07:10
>> Who, and correct me if I have have any
00:07:12
of this wrong or if he had any of this
00:07:14
wrong, but he said that you requested
00:07:16
that there be no incline whatsoever,
00:07:18
[laughter]
00:07:19
>> which is not hiking. You have to have an
00:07:21
incline if you're going to hike.
00:07:23
Otherwise, it is just a stroll. It's
00:07:25
strolling.
00:07:26
>> This is getting into semantics. It is.
00:07:29
It's really down to a trick way to do an
00:07:32
interview. So, it's like, "Hey, we're
00:07:34
gonna go bowling. Hey, we're going to be
00:07:36
in a ice bath."
00:07:38
>> So, I said, "Kevin, I barely like
00:07:41
walking, so I don't want to hike." Plus,
00:07:43
I got a bad neck. So, I go, "Listen, why
00:07:46
don't we go to the Kmart parking lot
00:07:48
[laughter]
00:07:48
>> and walk? And it'll be funny because
00:07:50
we're It's easier for you, too. and then
00:07:53
we won't be like and then I got a Hotel
00:07:56
Transennsylvania, you know. [laughter]
00:07:57
So, so I said, "I might be a better
00:08:00
interview." And he was like, "No, no,
00:08:03
we'll we'll go on a little. It'll be
00:08:05
barely. It'll be flat." And then we get
00:08:07
up there in the middle of the interview.
00:08:08
I go, "Dude, are we going uphill?" I of
00:08:11
course got insensed,
00:08:12
>> right? Sure. You promised.
00:08:15
>> Have you been on it, Jimmy? Have you
00:08:16
been on hiking with me?
00:08:17
>> I have. Yeah, we went on. And um it's
00:08:20
funny because well, for people who
00:08:22
haven't seen the show, Kevin goes on a
00:08:24
hike with somebody. But it's funny
00:08:25
because it's not like it's not like he
00:08:28
cleared the area. So when you walk in
00:08:31
and Kevin's got his selfie stick, which
00:08:32
is just a dangerous way to walk anyway,
00:08:35
everyone passing you flips out because
00:08:38
you're there with, [laughter] you know,
00:08:40
attention, please.
00:08:41
>> A giant. And then so like 3/4 of the
00:08:45
interview is being stopped by people who
00:08:47
want to like take a picture or something
00:08:48
because they don't understand there's a
00:08:50
show going on.
00:08:50
>> What are you doing? [laughter]
00:08:52
>> There's a big drone. He has a drone
00:08:54
controlled too.
00:08:55
>> He has a drone now and he's doing that.
00:08:56
He's got a siren on his head and so
00:08:59
everyone's like I thought Jack Black was
00:09:02
funny. You know I I have seen it. We are
00:09:04
buddies with Kevin forever. Uh it is
00:09:06
hysterical but he's really like lugging
00:09:08
waters. He's got like a emergency cinder
00:09:11
block.
00:09:12
>> Yeah.
00:09:12
>> I'm like Kevin you don't need all this
00:09:14
stuff on you. It's [laughter] so hard to
00:09:16
hike for you.
00:09:17
>> He's also serious a lot. Still
00:09:19
complaining.
00:09:19
>> He gets real serious about the equipment
00:09:22
too. Like you see that serious side of
00:09:24
Kevin that you didn't know was there?
00:09:26
>> The technical thing.
00:09:27
>> Yeah. This is a camera Nikon TX40 uh
00:09:31
comes sucker 3000. I'm like, "Oh, so
00:09:33
it's just a camera. I got it."
00:09:35
>> There's a real dad thing that happens
00:09:37
all of a sudden. He's like, you know,
00:09:38
it's like, "Oh, yeah. This is what he's
00:09:40
like with his son. Like, you know,
00:09:42
making sure the equipment is right and
00:09:44
don't
00:09:44
>> Oh, that's right.
00:09:45
>> He spanked me one time [laughter]
00:09:49
>> over a rock.
00:09:51
>> But you learned your lesson.
00:09:54
>> Where did you guys go to the Iger
00:09:55
sanction? You're so tough.
00:09:58
>> We went to uh I don't know somewhere in
00:10:00
the valley. It was like a a hiking area
00:10:01
I was unaware of in in the valley. I
00:10:04
mean, he must repeat those because not
00:10:07
everyone wants to drive out to Chino
00:10:09
Valley.
00:10:10
>> He must repeat it. And also, it's weird
00:10:12
to get an invitation to do a talk show
00:10:14
and you and he's dropped a pin. That's
00:10:17
where [laughter] that's how you find
00:10:18
them.
00:10:19
>> There's no address.
00:10:20
>> Yeah. [clears throat]
00:10:23
>> Yeah. Ways and then an Uber. Uh
00:10:26
>> yeah, we're cutting through like
00:10:27
somebody's yard in a culde-sac to get to
00:10:29
the the hiking area.
00:10:31
>> [laughter]
00:10:32
>> Oh, I got a question for you. First of
00:10:34
all, I do It's about your show, but also
00:10:37
about your show. What is the rigorous
00:10:40
schedule down to at this point? Is it
00:10:42
still rigorous? It's still hard to do a
00:10:44
show.
00:10:44
>> Yeah.
00:10:45
>> But what is the first thing in the
00:10:46
morning? You start getting hit up with
00:10:48
joke ideas or pre-tapes or
00:10:51
>> um Well, you really want to know the
00:10:54
schedule?
00:10:55
What have you hosted? You've
00:10:56
>> hosted you. We kind of know the
00:10:58
schedule, but
00:10:59
>> mine was harder when I hosted.
00:11:00
>> I'll go through it really, really
00:11:02
quickly. Is um in the morning at um 9:15
00:11:06
I get an email with like 30 pages of
00:11:10
jokes and bit ideas.
00:11:11
>> Shut up. Is that true? Perfect.
00:11:14
>> I mow through that. I whittle it down to
00:11:16
about four pages. I send it back. I then
00:11:19
get on a Zoom with our producers and
00:11:20
have a meeting about the guests that
00:11:22
night. I take a shower. I drive into
00:11:25
work. I have rehearsal as soon as I show
00:11:28
up, which is at 11:30.
00:11:31
And then I go up to my office and um
00:11:35
review a bunch of material. I go through
00:11:37
those jokes again, go through the bits.
00:11:40
I'll make edits on bits and we shoot
00:11:42
things if we have to. And then at uh
00:11:45
from 3 to 5, I write the monologue with
00:11:49
two other guys here in the office.
00:11:50
>> Really? And um they do a draft of it and
00:11:53
I sit and rewrite the whole thing.
00:11:55
[laughter]
00:11:56
>> I mean I would No, I don't mean I
00:11:58
rewrite the whole thing.
00:11:59
>> You just got to make it in your own
00:12:00
voice.
00:12:00
>> Yeah, I do. And then I go do the show
00:12:02
from 5 to 6.
00:12:04
>> How often like you're in the wings and
00:12:07
you're about to come out and you just
00:12:08
go,
00:12:09
>> "Yeah, I we don't got it tonight. This
00:12:11
is stinker. I I got to just riff it." I
00:12:14
mean,
00:12:14
>> you know, you know, you can always kind
00:12:16
of reach in and and pull something out
00:12:18
[laughter]
00:12:20
>> tonight. really good crowds. How was
00:12:22
tonight?
00:12:23
>> Backstage tonight. It there it was full
00:12:26
crickets. It was I was like, "Oh my god,
00:12:27
is anybody out there? Mike is did they
00:12:30
people show up?" And that's where it
00:12:32
becomes like that's when you get a
00:12:34
little bit nervous. And but I find that
00:12:36
if I just like add a little if the
00:12:39
audience has too much energy, I will
00:12:41
subtract some and if they don't have
00:12:43
enough, I will add some.
00:12:45
>> Oh yeah, that's a good idea. Sometimes
00:12:47
they're too energetic and they're
00:12:48
laughing at setups. like, "Let me just
00:12:50
get this out."
00:12:51
>> Yeah. Yeah. It's funny because I'm never
00:12:53
happy. Whatever. It's like either they
00:12:55
laugh too much or they didn't laugh
00:12:56
enough.
00:12:57
>> Shut up. [laughter]
00:12:58
>> Very rarely do we hit that exact right
00:13:00
amount.
00:13:02
>> You know, every year, David, I think we
00:13:05
can unequivocally say this, we make
00:13:07
resolutions
00:13:08
>> that somehow never stick.
00:13:11
>> But this year, I've found the one
00:13:14
resolution that actually works.
00:13:18
Gruns is the simple daily habit that
00:13:21
succeeds where extreme resolutions fail,
00:13:23
delivering real benefits with minimal
00:13:26
effort. If you haven't heard me talk
00:13:28
about goons before, they're a
00:13:30
convenient, comprehensive formula packed
00:13:32
into a daily snack pack of gummies. This
00:13:35
isn't just a multivitamin, a greens
00:13:37
gummy, or a prebiotic. It's all those
00:13:40
things and then some at a fraction of
00:13:42
the price. Plus, uh I don't know if you
00:13:45
know this bonus. It tastes amazing. Each
00:13:49
pack is vegan, nut free, gluten-free,
00:13:51
dairy free, and free from artificial
00:13:53
colors and flavors with over 20 vitamins
00:13:56
and minerals. 60 ingredients including
00:13:58
nutrientdense and whole food
00:14:00
ingredients. And six grams of prebiotic
00:14:03
fiber. That's more fiber than two cups
00:14:05
of broccoli.
00:14:07
>> Grudins does the heavy lifting while it
00:14:08
feels like doing the least.
00:14:11
There's even [laughter]
00:14:13
Grun's kids with, get this, 21 plus
00:14:17
essential vitamins and 60 plus
00:14:19
ingredients, including nutrientdense
00:14:23
and whole foods to support immunity and
00:14:25
development.

00:15:48
>> Oh, yes. It was kind of weird when I I
00:15:51
you know, first one in the Tonight Show
00:15:52
and I knew it was in the afternoon, but
00:15:54
you just when you're watching that as a
00:15:56
kid, the Tonight Show, you know, you
00:15:59
think it's midnight, you know.
00:16:02
>> Yeah, it's called the Tonight Show for
00:16:04
God.
00:16:04
>> I know. And you guys are all like
00:16:06
afternoon Mike Douglasy hours, you know.
00:16:08
>> It's not called the hours, [laughter]
00:16:10
you know.
00:16:11
>> Well, we were live at the beginning. So,
00:16:13
and we were on at midnight on the East
00:16:15
Coast. So, we were on from 9:05 to 10:05
00:16:18
p.m. back in the old days. And that felt
00:16:21
um that really felt like a a late night
00:16:23
show. And also, there's a crazy energy
00:16:25
out on Hollywood Boulevard at that time
00:16:27
every night because there's a lot of
00:16:28
crazy people out on Hollywood Boulevard
00:16:30
at that time every night. And so, then
00:16:33
everything like it was weird because if
00:16:35
we do pretapes, it suddenly would go
00:16:37
from night to daytime. And then I felt
00:16:40
like, oh, we should do all our pre-tapes
00:16:42
at night,
00:16:43
>> but we're, you know, that didn't really
00:16:45
work because we were doing the show from
00:16:46
9 to 10. And it became just like a like
00:16:50
an 18-hour a day job and it became
00:16:52
crazy. But then over the years,
00:16:54
>> people had kids and I had another set of
00:16:57
kids and we started like shortening the
00:16:59
day and eventually this is as short as
00:17:01
it can get though from 9:15 till till
00:17:04
6:15. That's that that's the the minimum
00:17:07
amount amount of time you can put into
00:17:08
it.
00:17:09
>> Yeah. I even did that lights out show
00:17:11
and it was way harder than I thought
00:17:13
because from the second I get up there's
00:17:15
just a stack of emails and things and
00:17:17
things. And I'm not Jimmy Fallon. Like
00:17:19
we both have to say we're not out there
00:17:21
doing like tap dancing with JLo. He's
00:17:23
got to drive to Staten Island and do
00:17:25
like a bumper cars or someone and he's
00:17:27
got to learn a song and dance with
00:17:28
Ariana Grande. It's hard to do all that
00:17:31
stuff. It's so much energy.
00:17:32
>> Not for him, but I think yes. for us it
00:17:35
will be hard but I have witnessed him um
00:17:38
in action and it is uh it's quite
00:17:41
remarkable. It's like
00:17:43
>> it's weird because you have a lot of
00:17:45
professional singers who you know show
00:17:48
up and
00:17:49
>> like he doesn't even wear the earpiece
00:17:51
that you need to wear to make sure
00:17:53
you're singing well. He just sings well.
00:17:56
He has a super I don't think people
00:17:58
realize like how talent actually it's a
00:18:01
weird thing because you're like oh he's
00:18:03
talented like [laughter] we're not I'm
00:18:05
not talented you know like I I can go up
00:18:07
and tell some jokes and write some stuff
00:18:09
but he has like real talent in the
00:18:11
oldfashioned way. I was told that if he
00:18:14
choreographs a dance number, even with
00:18:17
Justin Timberlake, whoever, he just has
00:18:20
it.
00:18:21
>> He does. I've just seen that happen.
00:18:23
>> He came on our show and he did a
00:18:24
Christmas song and he was he was uh
00:18:28
there were no mistakes.
00:18:30
>> He just nailed it and it was
00:18:32
unbelievable. It really was.
00:18:34
>> Hey, it was a crazy Christmas song, you
00:18:36
know. Amazing.
00:18:38
So that's just my
00:18:40
>> like so kickball chain fan fan back and
00:18:43
you're like yeah
00:18:44
>> it was disheartening is really what it
00:18:46
was.
00:18:46
>> Yeah. I have a very thin lane of just
00:18:49
mumbling jokes and then some people do a
00:18:51
lot more Dana does a lot more.
00:18:53
>> Yeah. Dana's got talent. Yeah.
00:18:55
>> Not not like f there's only but I I you
00:18:57
know you know what wears kind of well
00:18:59
though later on at least for me on
00:19:01
YouTube at night is Dick Kavitt. I mean
00:19:04
I really enjoy watching old Dick
00:19:06
Kavitts. He got his ass kicked by Carson
00:19:09
or whatever you want to call it.
00:19:11
>> They were kind of like the original
00:19:12
podcast. You could hear traffic going
00:19:14
by. It was very lowfi, long interviews
00:19:16
with Robert Mitchum and stuff. Very,
00:19:19
>> you know what I love? I love watching
00:19:21
with these old talk shows, especially
00:19:22
like with Carson. What I really love
00:19:24
seeing because we've all seen
00:19:26
>> we all seen the the hatchet the
00:19:28
highlights and like all these visuals
00:19:30
that we're all so familiar with, but to
00:19:33
watch like a year three when he's still
00:19:35
in New York Wednesday night show and
00:19:38
they have these at like the Museum of um
00:19:40
television radio
00:19:42
>> and and some of them are just dreadfully
00:19:45
dull and it makes you feel better. It
00:19:47
really does. Like you
00:19:49
>> when he was 90 minutes it was rough. 90
00:19:51
minutes was a very long time to do a a
00:19:54
live
00:19:55
>> third guest or fourth guest he's like
00:19:56
now what do you do sir [laughter]
00:20:00
>> you know interviewing is tough that
00:20:01
interviewing is the toughest part for me
00:20:04
>> I I have a
00:20:04
>> doinging your show
00:20:05
>> an appreciation for how you do that
00:20:08
because it is it is like trying to catch
00:20:10
the wind you know you let the guest go
00:20:13
you you do I jump in now you know how
00:20:17
like over the years has your kill skill
00:20:19
set in your find increased in terms of
00:20:23
letting the moment happen and not
00:20:25
interrupt. It's just hard. Well, there's
00:20:27
a lot of factors I think and one, you
00:20:30
know, one of them is when you're you're
00:20:31
interviewing a comic, which is always,
00:20:33
it's weirdly the easiest and the hardest
00:20:35
at the same time because you do not
00:20:37
want, you know, my natural inclination
00:20:39
would be to say something funny when a
00:20:41
story's been going on for a bit, but you
00:20:43
know, with a comic that they're getting
00:20:45
to something. Ideally, at least they're
00:20:47
getting to something and you don't want
00:20:49
to jump on on their setup. You know, you
00:20:51
don't want to ruin it. So, you have to
00:20:53
be cognizant of that. And I also don't
00:20:56
love knowing the jokes beforehand. So
00:20:58
>> I know I hate it.
00:20:59
>> Yeah. So I don't want to know like you
00:21:01
know but you know when to jump in but
00:21:04
Jay used to think of jokes back. I
00:21:08
didn't know that. Like he would look at
00:21:10
it and he goes when he gets to this
00:21:11
point I'll say this and he would I would
00:21:14
be in the middle and say something kind
00:21:15
of funny. I go oh but I realized later
00:21:19
that was part of the meeting is like
00:21:20
what could I say here? What could I say?
00:21:22
So he was really coming off better than
00:21:25
me.
00:21:26
>> You don't want to know the bits. You
00:21:28
just get it like a bullet point. You
00:21:30
don't want to know the line by line.
00:21:31
Yeah.
00:21:31
>> Yeah. I don't want to know. I I prefer
00:21:33
because then it's just like the whole
00:21:35
thing feels fake, you know? So at least
00:21:37
I'm a member of the audience. I'm
00:21:39
sitting there with a with a comic.
00:21:40
Unless they need me to know something,
00:21:43
>> I prefer not to know. I try to tell when
00:21:45
I go on Ken who works me I say try to
00:21:49
give him as little as possible or maybe
00:21:51
just give him an out where he knows it's
00:21:54
over.
00:21:55
>> Right. Right.
00:21:56
>> And then you're kind of just get to go.
00:21:58
All right. I kind of know what spades
00:22:00
and he's going to [ __ ] around here and I
00:22:01
just got to know when to keep it things
00:22:03
moving.
00:22:04
>> I feel like also that David you've been
00:22:07
on so many times now that I just kind of
00:22:09
know where where you are in the story.
00:22:12
So, and u we don't really need
00:22:14
>> you go. This is funny because I do this
00:22:17
is really funny because he did it last
00:22:18
time. [laughter]
00:22:22
>> Can I tell you?
00:22:24
>> He did the story three times. Okay, I
00:22:26
know the story. This [laughter]
00:22:29
>> Rickles would do that every Rickles had,
00:22:31
you know, Super Dave also was another
00:22:33
one was great because he would do the
00:22:36
same stuff. He once I was watching an
00:22:38
old video of Super Dave on Carson. It
00:22:41
was shortly after he'd been on my show
00:22:43
and he did exactly all the same material
00:22:46
and I was like, "Oh, this is
00:22:47
incredible." Like his his philosophy
00:22:49
was, "Nobody gives a [ __ ] Nobody
00:22:51
remembers." And it's true. I mean, we
00:22:53
were all so like, "Oh, I can't do that
00:22:55
joke." Um, you know, Co Bear did a joke
00:22:57
like that in October of, you know, 2020.
00:23:00
>> Nobody's keeping track of all or
00:23:03
>> who's going to see both shows at the
00:23:05
same time? I I saw Rick's guys on
00:23:08
something two nights ago where he's
00:23:10
walking around like at the Golden Globes
00:23:12
and he's and he's walking the crowd. He
00:23:14
goes, "Julie Roberts is over here.
00:23:15
Julia, I live near you in Malibu, two
00:23:17
houses down. You don't invite me over
00:23:19
for uh dinner." And she goes, "Don,
00:23:22
anytime." He goes, "You have no lines,
00:23:24
Julia." [laughter]
00:23:26
He and that she laughed so hard
00:23:30
[clears throat] lib with him and no,
00:23:32
Julia, no lines. As a kid, I didn't
00:23:34
understand as a young person, but it
00:23:36
seemed like [laughter]
00:23:38
mayhem when he came out. Give Ed a
00:23:40
cookie, put him in the corner, the show
00:23:41
started, you know, all these abstract
00:23:43
put downs. He didn't have any jokes. He
00:23:46
just had these rhythms of put downs, you
00:23:48
know, Frank that the mob called Vinnie
00:23:50
Pal, [laughter]
00:23:51
you know, and they're on YouTube and you
00:23:52
just go and same thing with Rodney. I'll
00:23:54
see YouTube clips of Rodney and just go,
00:23:57
damn, the amount of great jokes. Just
00:23:59
appreciate those guys. It was funny with
00:24:01
Rickles like he had some sense that he
00:24:04
he' done like some of these jokes
00:24:06
before. So he would truncate them in a
00:24:09
way that sometimes cut out the setup to
00:24:11
the joke. Yes. So like he had some jokes
00:24:13
about his wife like very like hey she
00:24:16
with the jewelry she's signaling ships
00:24:18
and it was like wait but what led us to
00:24:20
that? What [laughter]
00:24:22
>> jewelry? She's got big jewelry.
00:24:24
>> Yeah. He's like he's doing Joan Rivers.
00:24:27
>> Johnny Johnny it's over. Okay. You know,
00:24:29
it was all these
00:24:30
>> I like Johnny it's over. That was funny.
00:24:32
Johnny
00:24:33
>> It's [laughter] over.
00:24:34
>> Yeah. Martin Short, who's we love, of
00:24:36
course. You know, you're the compliment
00:24:38
and then the chairs pulled out, you
00:24:40
know. [laughter]
00:24:41
>> You know, now I love your show. When I
00:24:43
need to sleep, you know, it's just all I
00:24:46
love.
00:24:46
>> I was at a dinner at Martin Short's
00:24:48
house one night with Rickles and his
00:24:50
wife Barbara. Oh my god.
00:24:51
>> And they're sitting there, and this is
00:24:53
something I say to my wife a lot now
00:24:55
because it made such an impression on
00:24:57
me. Rickles is is trying to um he he's
00:25:00
he's telling a story that his wife
00:25:02
Barbara has heard thousands of times,
00:25:04
you know, and she would she would just
00:25:05
kind of fill in the blank like he'd be
00:25:07
like and uh then uh and she'd be like
00:25:10
Vinnie Bumba and he's like oh Vinnie
00:25:12
Boom, you know, whatever. And he get the
00:25:13
thing and she had had enough of these
00:25:15
stories. I mean she had heard them too
00:25:17
many times and and he said something and
00:25:19
she looks over him. She goes talk talk
00:25:23
and she does a little hand motion. He's
00:25:25
talk talk. He goes talk talk talk talk
00:25:27
talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
00:25:27
talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
00:25:28
talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk
00:25:28
talk talk talk talk talk talk without
00:25:29
without talk talk talk talk talk you'd
00:25:31
be a derelct
00:25:33
[laughter]
00:25:37
>> I say that to my wife sometimes but
00:25:38
you'd be a derelct [laughter]
00:25:41
>> such goes perfect word
00:25:43
>> Johnny Johnny your wife Alexis uh you're
00:25:46
going to pass away one day and she'll be
00:25:47
like too bad about Johnny I'll take the
00:25:49
red dress [laughter]
00:25:52
>> yeah he just
00:25:53
>> he's outspending your money Johnny you
00:25:54
stand. [laughter]
00:25:56
>> We went out to a
00:25:57
>> He explains the joke to him.
00:25:58
>> We went out to dinner one night at um
00:26:01
Craig's where um Don Rickle, you know,
00:26:04
like everybody
00:26:05
>> the hangout place for sure.
00:26:07
>> And uh at the end of the night, you
00:26:09
know, he was fragile. He was he was in
00:26:11
his 80s at the time. At the end of the
00:26:13
night, these uh two bus boys come over
00:26:16
uh two Mexican guys and to help him up.
00:26:18
And um they help him up and he stands up
00:26:20
and he he gives them each $20 and he
00:26:23
goes, "Hia, buy your mother a house."
00:26:25
[laughter]
00:26:31
>> Reges Filman used to open for him and
00:26:34
Regis said, "Honest to God, some nights
00:26:36
you don't know if he's going to make it
00:26:37
out there. He gets two high balls in
00:26:38
him. He's rubbing his knees. They're
00:26:40
playing the trumpet. Sometimes it
00:26:41
doesn't happen." You know, [laughter]
00:26:44
>> rubbing his knees.
00:26:45
>> Rubbing his knees as he goes out.
00:26:47
relate to that to God. That was Regis.
00:26:51
That was his phrase. Otters to God. I
00:26:53
got to tell you
00:26:54
>> that's beautiful. I had Regis.
00:26:56
>> He goes, he shows he goes this guy in
00:26:58
the crowd. His friends are upstairs in
00:27:01
your hotel room stealing all your stuff
00:27:02
and then it's they cut. It's like Quincy
00:27:04
Jones going [laughter]
00:27:06
my friends
00:27:09
because he still there was a lapse there
00:27:11
where he was doing those jokes a little
00:27:13
too late in the game and it was like
00:27:14
[laughter] during the Oscars or
00:27:16
something and I'm like wait a second I
00:27:18
don't I don't do that anymore.
00:27:20
>> To have the band all with that trumpet
00:27:22
and his theme every time when he came
00:27:24
out you know was a very cool thing. when
00:27:27
he come on my show, he'd look around at
00:27:30
the band and we have a, you know, a
00:27:31
Japanese guitar player and um two uh you
00:27:34
know, Mexican guy, you know, so he'd go
00:27:37
right into it. And it was funny because
00:27:40
I think the first time he was on the
00:27:41
show, it got big laughs. And as the
00:27:43
years went on, people [laughter] became
00:27:44
more sensitive
00:27:45
>> and you know, nobody in the band cared.
00:27:47
They they all thought it was funny, but
00:27:49
then it was the same jokes every
00:27:50
freaking time. But um you [laughter]
00:27:52
know it it after a while it became like
00:27:54
I just knew that what we were going to
00:27:56
have to do he was going to come out. He
00:27:58
was going to do those racist jokes. I
00:28:00
was going to edit all of those top that
00:28:02
whole top of the segment out and I would
00:28:04
just take a beat let him do all those
00:28:06
jokes and I'd say how are you [laughter]
00:28:10
see on TV.
00:28:11
>> Yeah. You have to tell me the other day
00:28:13
when you were talking to Kate Beckansale
00:28:16
is this a joke with the with the eggs? I
00:28:18
didn't get
00:28:18
>> it was not a joke. I didn't hear the end
00:28:20
of it and I was like is something going
00:28:22
on I don't know about.
00:28:24
>> Well, what happened was Kate Beckansales
00:28:27
>> Jody I don't think um Dana knows yet.
00:28:29
Thank you.
00:28:29
>> I don't know. I'm hearing it the story.
00:28:31
>> So Kate Beckansale the actor from
00:28:34
England very uh very beautiful obviously
00:28:38
>> also very um funny like kind of weird
00:28:41
you know and like funny like in way you
00:28:43
wouldn't expect.
00:28:44
>> Her daughter's boyfriend
00:28:47
laid a couple of eggs. not in the same
00:28:50
night. Um, over the course of a few
00:28:52
weeks, an egg which I saw a photograph
00:28:55
of and it looked it looked like a yellow
00:28:58
egg. It was hard to tell.
00:28:59
>> This could possibly be a big story if
00:29:01
it's true.
00:29:02
>> It could be a big story. It and it I
00:29:04
still haven't gotten to the bottom of
00:29:06
it, but something that looked like an
00:29:08
egg came out of his his um intestines
00:29:11
>> and she showed me a picture of it. It
00:29:13
was pretty gross. It was hard to tell
00:29:14
what the size was because there was no
00:29:16
point of reference. It wasn't like
00:29:18
somebody's hand was in there,
00:29:19
>> but
00:29:21
>> it looked like an egg and then it
00:29:22
happened again a few weeks later. And
00:29:25
they don't know what it was. They don't
00:29:26
know why it happened. And um they ruled
00:29:29
out sexual play as a a cause of it. They
00:29:32
they don't know what it was. He didn't
00:29:34
swallow a whole egg. It was perplexing
00:29:37
to all of them.
00:29:37
>> The first thing would be maybe something
00:29:39
was up there and then ultimately came
00:29:41
out.
00:29:42
My guess is it was some kind of
00:29:44
gelatinous mass that accumulated in his
00:29:47
body.
00:29:48
>> Sickening. This is not the fun ending of
00:29:49
it.
00:29:50
>> Where has the world gone? I mean really
00:29:54
gone.
00:29:54
>> So I understand there was a
00:29:57
>> Johnny would have loved that.
00:29:58
>> And your rectum. You hear about that,
00:29:59
Ed?
00:30:00
>> Because the story was like 20 minutes.
00:30:02
I'm like get to the part where you're
00:30:04
joking. I'm like, where is this going?
00:30:06
>> This was not a joke. It was, you know
00:30:08
what it was really for me? I wanted to
00:30:10
hear the whole story. So that after we
00:30:12
put it on YouTube, somebody would solve
00:30:14
the mystery.
00:30:15
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What happened? No,
00:30:16
>> I forgot about it. I didn't bother
00:30:18
>> to look. I'm going to look because I was
00:30:20
going I used to know her a little bit.
00:30:22
I'm like I do know she does jokes and
00:30:25
stuff, but that one it was too It wasn't
00:30:28
really a joke cuz she was going too
00:30:29
long. I'm like,
00:30:30
>> well, there was a picture of it, too.
00:30:32
So,
00:30:32
>> and that's where I started to go, okay,
00:30:33
I I jumped out, but I go I'm going to
00:30:35
just wait and ask Jimmy. Now, if Kate
00:30:37
Beckansale fabricated that photograph,
00:30:40
which was disgusting, by the way, I give
00:30:43
her even more credit because that's an
00:30:45
extreme that she went to
00:30:46
>> Randy Kaufman like situation.
00:30:48
>> Yeah. Yeah. That's something that's
00:30:49
something a little extra special. But I
00:30:51
do think it's interesting when David,
00:30:53
you say things like, "Yeah, I used I
00:30:54
knew her a little bit." And it makes me
00:30:56
think, "Oh, what did you do to her,
00:30:58
David Spade?"
00:30:59
>> No, we used to be friends.
00:31:01
>> Yeah. What do you mean know her? I don't
00:31:04
know a little bit. No, I same thing as
00:31:06
you. I'd see her out and she was always
00:31:09
saying like um very sharp like mean
00:31:13
funny comments, right?
00:31:14
>> She was like, "I have a sense of humor,
00:31:17
too, even though I'm really pretty."
00:31:18
>> So, but that was fine. But she would do
00:31:21
jokes on my Instagram and stuff like
00:31:22
that, you know, like make fun of me.
00:31:24
That was it.
00:31:25
>> Um
00:31:26
>> but I have more questions for you. Don't
00:31:27
It's not over yet, Jimmy. Mhm. Uh, do
00:31:29
you have any interest in
00:31:32
31 Atlas?
00:31:34
>> In 31 Atlas,
00:31:36
>> the big monster spaceship coming to
00:31:39
America that's supposed to be a comet.
00:31:42
>> Uh, I don't know anything about it.
00:31:44
>> You don't, Jimmy?
00:31:47
>> But I'm now interested. It's coming
00:31:49
specifically to America or it might hit
00:31:51
any part of the of the planet. I thought
00:31:54
you knew about this. Um 31 Atlas, which
00:31:57
this should be most of your monologue.
00:32:00
It is a comet.
00:32:01
>> Okay.
00:32:02
>> And a lot of people from NASA, a lot of
00:32:04
people are saying um that uh it doesn't
00:32:07
look like a comet. They think it's a
00:32:09
spaceship.
00:32:10
>> Oh.
00:32:11
>> And it's on its way. And when it goes
00:32:14
around the sun, they'll know more about
00:32:16
it. They said, "Okay." That was about a
00:32:18
month ago. And they said, "It doesn't do
00:32:20
anything a comet does. It slows down. It
00:32:22
speeds up, it zigzags. They're like,
00:32:24
"This could be the mother ship." And so,
00:32:26
it is sort of a story, but
00:32:28
>> does it look like
00:32:29
>> the scientific community? There's a few
00:32:31
people that sort of went along with it.
00:32:33
So,
00:32:33
>> what if it's the egg up the butt?
00:32:35
>> You're not connected this.
00:32:37
>> I'm going to text Kate that can sail
00:32:39
right now just because the egg thing and
00:32:41
the rocket ship. Let's see what she
00:32:42
says.
00:32:43
>> Yeah. See what she says about that. I
00:32:45
You know what, David? I You have my
00:32:46
curiosity peaked. I did not know about
00:32:49
31 Atlas. I did
00:32:51
>> lazy writers they might know.
00:32:53
>> I did have a um long conversation about
00:32:56
UFOs with my guest LA the night uh last
00:32:59
night Paul Anka
00:33:01
>> um who is very into UFOs more
00:33:05
>> the the the singer the singer
00:33:08
>> I was watching his thing last night
00:33:09
>> my way.
00:33:10
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:11
>> Oh his Yeah. He watched his documentary
00:33:12
last night. Yeah. He he's really into
00:33:14
UFOs and um you know we discussed
00:33:17
various theories like including that
00:33:20
they all are under the sea that that's
00:33:22
where they
00:33:23
>> I think a lot of them come from the
00:33:24
ocean. Yeah.
00:33:25
>> Now are you a UFO guy, David?
00:33:27
>> Yeah, sort of. I mean just for something
00:33:29
to do to seem interesting.
00:33:31
>> Dana, are you um I'm more I I like
00:33:35
astrophysics. Like I like
00:33:38
you know what are the odds that the
00:33:40
Earth exists and that we're on it? Now I
00:33:43
guess right now it's two trillion to
00:33:45
one. So they're looking for seeding
00:33:47
which would be 2001 of space odyssey
00:33:50
because the bacteria how it got here the
00:33:52
oceans came from comets and how it was
00:33:55
all stacked. It's two trillion to one
00:33:57
that we're here and that fascinates me.
00:34:00
>> Yeah.
00:34:01
>> Well yeah cuz I think we are here.
00:34:02
>> I just blew his mind man.
00:34:04
>> Yeah you did. I mean I really didn't
00:34:05
realize
00:34:05
>> these are the same odds as the Jets
00:34:07
winning the uh Super Bowl. [laughter]
00:34:11
But
00:34:12
>> hire me.
00:34:14
>> I'll fill out that monologue. Boom.
00:34:16
Boom.
00:34:17
>> Let's [laughter]
00:34:19
watch writers.
00:34:19
>> Does Molly ever watch you? Molly's
00:34:21
Jimmy's wife reading your jokes in the
00:34:23
morning and you scratch one out and she
00:34:25
goes, "Well, what's wrong with that
00:34:26
one?"
00:34:27
>> Um, we do have some things like that,
00:34:29
but I will tell you, um, and she'll be
00:34:31
horrified that I told you the story. She
00:34:32
was very mad at you once because, um,
00:34:35
she wrote a bit that you liked, um, for
00:34:38
the show and you're a guest on the show.
00:34:40
>> Okay. And um they worked on it for a
00:34:42
long time and you seemed to be into it
00:34:43
in the in the dressing room and you guys
00:34:45
like kind of worked it out the whole
00:34:47
thing and then once you got on the air
00:34:49
you looked you looked at whatever the
00:34:51
piece of paper you're like h this is not
00:34:53
funny I'm not going to do [laughter]
00:34:55
>> they were no way
00:34:56
>> they were going wild backstage like god
00:34:59
the host
00:35:00
>> yeah when no when you're a guest on the
00:35:02
show yeah when you're a guest
00:35:04
>> what a [ __ ]
00:35:07
not like me but plus I like mine
00:35:09
>> it sounds so much like you. It sounds
00:35:12
Molly helped me when I did the one where
00:35:14
>> where I was the talent coordinator and
00:35:18
Julie Bone was there and I was the new
00:35:19
talent coordinator and I was asking her
00:35:22
interviewing her pre-in that I liked. I
00:35:24
thought that was funny. [laughter]
00:35:27
>> All right, I'll tell her. I'll let her
00:35:28
know.
00:35:29
>> And she helped me with that. But
00:35:30
>> she's over it. She's over it. But it was
00:35:32
uh you know for
00:35:33
>> I love that story because I don't know
00:35:34
what it is. when you tell me and then I
00:35:36
realize it's true and I find out more,
00:35:38
I'll be like, "Oh, what a primadonna."
00:35:41
[laughter]
00:35:43
>> Well, it's you know what it's when you
00:35:45
have that kind of talent, you're you're
00:35:47
entitled to be a primadonna from time to
00:35:49
time.
00:35:50
>> Well, I I think the only problem would
00:35:51
have been if I think I wasn't good in or
00:35:54
something. I was like, I could not.
00:35:56
Sometimes stuff gets written for me,
00:35:57
even on the old show, and I'd be like, I
00:35:59
don't think I can pull this off. Like,
00:36:00
it's good. I'm just not as good in it as
00:36:02
I thought I'd be.
00:36:04
>> Something like that. We saw that play
00:36:05
out in real time.
00:36:06
>> Yeah. [ __ ] kill you. You're not
00:36:08
supposed to go along with my what
00:36:10
[laughter] I say. You're supposed to say
00:36:11
I'm a super talent.
00:36:14
>> It's all It all sounds very logical.
00:36:16
Have you What are [clears throat] the
00:36:17
people who've sat in that chair?
00:36:19
>> Uhhuh.
00:36:20
>> Yeah. Man or woman where the the
00:36:22
charisma or their beauty or whatever
00:36:25
that was just vibrating a little almost
00:36:27
like distracting.
00:36:29
>> Oh yeah, that does happen from time to
00:36:31
time. It is interesting. Yeah, some
00:36:34
people just like have this this thing
00:36:36
and the audience just gets wild. Like
00:36:38
first of all, when there's like a a
00:36:40
good-looking guy, especially a young guy
00:36:42
on the show, good-looking guy. You look
00:36:44
around the audience, you realize, oh,
00:36:45
half of these women think they might
00:36:47
[ __ ] him. Like they they're [laughter]
00:36:49
here to potentially be pulled out of
00:36:52
this audience to be [ __ ] by this guy.
00:36:54
Yeah. And they and I think that's a
00:36:57
that's something that only women have
00:36:58
like that thought like we never like we
00:37:00
wouldn't show up to see Galadote and
00:37:03
think like she's going to pull me out of
00:37:05
the audience.
00:37:06
>> They rarely like stop at a commercial
00:37:08
and go this is a little unorthodox but
00:37:10
this gorgeous woman in the fourth row.
00:37:12
Could she come backstage with me right
00:37:13
now? The main tell of this is like women
00:37:16
will chase teen idols like obviously the
00:37:18
Beatles chasing them but you never see
00:37:21
men
00:37:22
>> chasing a woman and
00:37:24
>> no cuz they'd be arrested. Exactly.
00:37:25
>> You know they would be arrested and if
00:37:28
they are chasing them they're probably
00:37:30
gay. I mean let's [laughter] be honest,
00:37:32
you know.
00:37:33
>> Sh let's be honest. Let's be honest.
00:37:35
[laughter]
00:37:36
>> I love let's be honest about everything.
00:37:39
Uh, I get it because sometimes when we
00:37:41
were on SNL, by the way, this isn't
00:37:44
really even an SNL podcast anymore. We
00:37:46
do whatever. But when we were on there
00:37:48
and you would meet a host, when I saw
00:37:50
like Sharon Stone, even Alec Baldwin's
00:37:53
first time in the meeting,
00:37:55
>> I would think to myself,
00:37:57
>> this person is a movie star. Like, this
00:38:00
>> has star quality. They're great looking.
00:38:02
They sound cool the way they walk in.
00:38:05
And there's some I thought were just
00:38:06
flatlining. Here's a list. No, I'm
00:38:09
kidding. But um [laughter] there's some
00:38:11
where you go, I don't even get this at
00:38:13
all. I don't know.
00:38:13
>> But you know, you remember that, David,
00:38:15
where it's the the hostesses come in on
00:38:17
Monday and they come to your office and
00:38:19
they go, Robert Mitchum would like to
00:38:21
meet you. You're like, what? Charlton H
00:38:24
is down there. You're just walking, you
00:38:26
open the door, and then you're meeting
00:38:27
these iconic people. It's just very
00:38:30
surreal. I would say that the the best
00:38:32
answer to that question is probably
00:38:35
Oprah, who
00:38:37
>> yeah,
00:38:37
>> like
00:38:38
>> I didn't get the whole Oprah thing for
00:38:41
much of my life. In fact, I did a show
00:38:43
called The Man Show that was designed
00:38:45
specifically to counteract Oprah and uh
00:38:48
my wife my ex-wife would watch Oprah and
00:38:51
then I'd walk in I'd come home from work
00:38:53
and she'd be yelling at me for something
00:38:55
she saw on Oprah and I was like, "Who is
00:38:57
this Oprah? Why is she ruining my life?"
00:38:59
like it was it became personal with me
00:39:02
and and but when she you know I think we
00:39:05
did the show for like 10 years before we
00:39:07
had her on the show and I was like
00:39:09
>> oh wow I get it now because she was like
00:39:13
she just was a presence almost a
00:39:17
religious experience for everyone there
00:39:19
and she was so she she understood what
00:39:22
she was to everybody and she gave them
00:39:25
that thing and she like we had I think
00:39:28
we shot a bit with Oprah. That was a
00:39:30
really, really funny bit. It started at
00:39:32
5:00 in the morning and it went till
00:39:35
very late at night. It was an all, it
00:39:37
was more than an all day thing. It was a
00:39:39
whole bunch of setups and we and the day
00:39:41
started with Oprah in my bathtub in my
00:39:43
dressing room. Like, that's how that's
00:39:45
how the day started. So, we spent the
00:39:47
whole day together and then, you know,
00:39:49
you'd expect after a 17-hour day that
00:39:53
Oprah would hightail it the [ __ ] out of
00:39:56
there. But instead, Oprah got a bottle
00:39:59
or a couple of bottles of very expensive
00:40:02
tequila and she gathered everyone on the
00:40:04
crew and everyone together and gathered
00:40:07
around and gave this beautiful toast to
00:40:09
everyone and then took pictures with
00:40:12
everyone. And then then and only then
00:40:14
when she had like interacted with every
00:40:17
single person there did she get in the
00:40:19
car and leave. And I was like I now I
00:40:21
understand.
00:40:22
>> Mhm.
00:40:23
>> Some people get that they're a big deal
00:40:24
and they this is the only time people
00:40:27
see them and they make it like a nice
00:40:29
thing.
00:40:30
>> Yeah. Yeah. Some people really
00:40:31
understand that. And I've had
00:40:34
experiences in my life before I was on
00:40:36
television where I I've met people and
00:40:39
who meant a lot to me and then didn't
00:40:42
then you know they were always cordial
00:40:44
or whatever but when you don't get that
00:40:46
kind of like
00:40:47
>> you don't get warmth back you don't get
00:40:50
anything really back it's it's
00:40:52
disappointing and um you know I always
00:40:55
feel like I never want to be that uh
00:40:58
that person who disappoints.
00:41:00
>> There is a force field. There was an
00:41:02
actress. I was doing some Tom Hanks.
00:41:04
Anyway, long story short, and I was
00:41:05
approaching the table, there were other
00:41:08
people and I just wanted to say hello
00:41:09
and I just saw the radar come up like
00:41:13
and I sort of I just waved, you know,
00:41:15
because there are certain people are so
00:41:16
famous that they're it's exhausting for
00:41:19
I just got to tell you,
00:41:20
>> you know, it's like you meet Paul
00:41:22
McCartney, I'm sure you've met him
00:41:23
several times. I just got to tell you
00:41:25
what you meant to me.
00:41:26
>> Yeah.
00:41:26
>> And it's hard. I mean, I saw Jimmy Steu
00:41:28
I met Jimmy Stewart and at an event, you
00:41:31
know, AFI Kirk Douglas Salute and I got
00:41:34
I I was young. I just had been on SNL
00:41:36
for a few months and I walked over to
00:41:38
Jimmy Stewart and he grabbed my hand and
00:41:40
he just said, "I know. I know."
00:41:43
[laughter]
00:41:44
>> Wow. I mean, heard it
00:41:45
>> so much.
00:41:46
>> But that's what I learned about show
00:41:48
business around the table. People are
00:41:50
talking, you know, and they kind of
00:41:52
said, "Yeah, Jimmy Stewart not working
00:41:54
much anymore." And I go, "Then you can't
00:41:57
[ __ ] win show business." [laughter]
00:41:59
>> Yeah.
00:42:00
>> There's no winning. He's 83. Not getting
00:42:02
the nah.
00:42:04
>> Someone goes, "Is he still in the
00:42:05
business?" And you go, "Oh my Oh, yeah.
00:42:07
It's tough." If you see people come up,
00:42:09
they're a little nervous and they got
00:42:10
their phone and you just skip the middle
00:42:12
part and you go, "You want to take a
00:42:13
picture?" It sounds so cocky, but it is
00:42:16
what they want.
00:42:17
>> But they're just that, too.
00:42:18
>> It takes the eight minutes in the middle
00:42:20
out. So,
00:42:21
>> I had a guy I had a kid who was like
00:42:24
looking at me and he had his phone and I
00:42:26
was like uh I was at I was at like a
00:42:28
hockey rink or something and uh um I
00:42:32
just see him doing it and I was just
00:42:34
like hey uh you want to take a picture?
00:42:36
He's like what?
00:42:37
>> I said do you want to take a picture? He
00:42:39
goes,
00:42:39
>> "No, you just you got you have mustard
00:42:41
all over your face." [laughter]
00:42:45
>> I know.
00:42:45
>> I like Oh, okay. I mean,
00:42:49
>> but I did go back to Jimmy Stewart after
00:42:51
the dinner was over and um
00:42:54
>> and he goes, "Well, you already already
00:42:56
said hello to me. What the [ __ ] do you
00:42:58
want from [laughter] me?" Jesus. I go,
00:43:00
"God, it's a wonderful life." Not
00:43:04
>> I just did that for Jimmy Stewart. When
00:43:06
you go to like one of these parties,
00:43:07
it's kind of show busy and then you see
00:43:09
someone you like. You do partially
00:43:12
part of you wants them to like somewhat
00:43:15
or know what you do. And when they
00:43:17
don't, it's such a blank stare. It's
00:43:19
like, oh, [laughter]
00:43:20
>> I mean, it's nice to meet them, but you
00:43:22
kind of wish they saw something I did on
00:43:26
TBS at some point on a rerun and said,
00:43:29
"Hey, weren't you some guy in some
00:43:31
stupid shit?"
00:43:32
>> It is funny what you don't want. Like
00:43:33
you're like, "I don't want to be
00:43:34
bothered. I don't want to put it in
00:43:35
there. You're like, "Oh, you know, you
00:43:38
know who I am, right?" [laughter]
00:43:40
>> Dude, it's like everyone in the DMV line
00:43:42
talks to you and then you get up to the
00:43:44
lady and she doesn't know you and she's
00:43:45
like, "This isn't going to work." And
00:43:47
I'm like, "Uh, don't like you should be
00:43:50
the one that's fawning over me to help
00:43:52
me, but the one person that matters
00:43:54
doesn't give a fat fuck." And they're
00:43:56
like, "Yeah, back of the line. Start
00:43:57
over." I'm like, "God dang it."
00:43:59
>> Yeah. I'm most embarrassed, most ashamed
00:44:01
of myself when I um start um dropping
00:44:04
things um in front of my kids friends,
00:44:07
you know, like uh oh, look at look at
00:44:10
who texted me, Olivia Rodrigo.
00:44:13
[laughter]
00:44:14
>> That is a good when you go to someone
00:44:15
younger, you're like, "Oh, I guess we
00:44:17
got Sydney Sweeney on the show tonight."
00:44:19
Yawn. And they're like, "She's coming
00:44:22
in." Yeah, yawn. [laughter]
00:44:25
You add that. No, it's I We all sound
00:44:28
like [ __ ]

00:46:03
>> I had dinner with them all last night as
00:46:05
a
00:46:06
>> serious
00:46:08
power bar.
00:46:09
>> Yes. with Paul Anka.
00:46:11
>> And it's funny what we were just talking
00:46:13
about a second ago because Cindy Looper
00:46:15
happened to be there and she came up to
00:46:17
the table and we were excited to see her
00:46:19
and
00:46:19
>> she drove all night
00:46:20
>> and Paul was um happy to see her and
00:46:23
Paul said, "Hey, you know, I covered
00:46:25
Time After Time on one of my albums and
00:46:28
she had no idea [laughter]
00:46:30
>> who he was." She's like, "You did?" He
00:46:33
said, "Yeah, I did." And uh then he
00:46:35
said, "I'll send it to you and she goes,
00:46:36
"I'll look it up." [laughter]
00:46:39
I owe that guy five grand. I owe Paul an
00:46:42
five grand.
00:46:43
>> What did you do?
00:46:44
>> Kevin Pollock had a birthday party in
00:46:46
Vegas. We had a room playing blackjack.
00:46:48
I'm terrible. Paul Anka comes in. I have
00:46:51
$500 spend. He sits next to me and he
00:46:55
starts coaching me in blackjack. You got
00:46:57
to whack it. Whack it. Split it. Whack
00:46:59
it. Whack it.
00:47:00
>> Split it.
00:47:01
>> Within a half hour is up to five grand.
00:47:04
>> Yeah. Oh,
00:47:05
>> I did it my way, but I've never publicly
00:47:07
thanked Paul Anka.
00:47:09
>> Well, I feel like you should you should
00:47:10
get to keep some of that, shouldn't you?
00:47:12
Since it was your money that you were
00:47:14
investing. [laughter]
00:47:15
>> What if he just took it and walked away
00:47:16
and he
00:47:17
>> But he was kind of brilliant at I bet
00:47:18
he's probably banned from the tables or
00:47:21
something. I don't know.
00:47:22
>> In that documentary, he's in Vegas all
00:47:24
the time.
00:47:24
>> Yeah, he spent he lived in Vegas for a
00:47:26
for a very long time.
00:47:28
>> It was very cool to hear him talk. I
00:47:30
mean, My Way is obviously a huge one. I
00:47:31
was thinking, what is Sinatra's most
00:47:33
well-known hit? Is it my way New York?
00:47:36
New York or
00:47:37
>> other?
00:47:39
>> I think it's
00:47:40
>> I could talk about him.
00:47:41
>> Strangers in the Night and uh I think
00:47:43
Strangers in the Night.
00:47:44
>> It's got to be my way. It it it's my
00:47:46
way.
00:47:48
>> Okay. Can I just as a fan out for a
00:47:50
second, you know, Late Night and car
00:47:52
stereoss are [ __ ] nuts, right? Uh Got
00:47:54
You Under My Skin
00:47:56
>> is so brilliant and the way he sings it
00:47:58
and the lyrics and also the Summerwind.
00:48:02
Summerland is one of those very go
00:48:04
through the V. You know, he died in my
00:48:06
arms. You know that story, right?
00:48:08
>> Frank Sinatra died in your arms.
00:48:10
>> I was in Cedar Sinai getting a stent in
00:48:13
those days and um
00:48:15
>> and then there was this hub. I was just
00:48:17
reading a magazine. It was like
00:48:18
midnight. They go, "Oh Frank Sinatra
00:48:20
just checked in and uh he was in the
00:48:22
room next to me. They took him down to
00:48:24
the ICU and he passed away that night."
00:48:26
>> Mhm.
00:48:27
>> Wow.
00:48:28
>> But before that,
00:48:29
>> in your arms. Well, before that, I just
00:48:31
snuck out of my room and kind of knocked
00:48:33
and go,
00:48:34
>> you know, and we had a moment.
00:48:35
>> Did you sing that's life? [laughter]
00:48:39
>> I just want to tell you
00:48:41
>> that's you go. You should take a selfie,
00:48:44
but it was like too late. He's like,
00:48:46
just real quick before you take,
00:48:48
[laughter]
00:48:48
>> would you mind Mr. Sinatra?
00:48:51
>> I just have to tell you, just real
00:48:53
quick.
00:48:53
>> I just got to tell you. I got to tell
00:48:55
you. I got to tell you. I like to go the
00:48:58
fat just checked in like it's a hotel.
00:49:00
>> Oh,
00:49:01
>> well, it was just sort of surreal,
00:49:03
right? Just like
00:49:04
>> how crazy.
00:49:05
>> I know. Why was I there that night when
00:49:07
he was Everyone's got stories like that.
00:49:09
>> I had a bunch of nobodyies.
00:49:10
>> Have you ever had a polter guy? So, you
00:49:12
ever had a out of body ghost experience,
00:49:15
Jimmy?
00:49:16
>> Me?
00:49:16
>> Yeah. Jimmy,
00:49:16
>> it's weird you say that with uh when
00:49:18
you're talking about hospitals because
00:49:20
the reason uh No, I haven't. And the
00:49:21
reason I don't believe in ghosts is
00:49:23
because I feel that if there was such a
00:49:26
thing, there would be hundreds of
00:49:28
thousands of them in every hospital
00:49:31
because that's where people die. And it
00:49:33
would just be like you wouldn't be able
00:49:34
to get into the elevator. There would be
00:49:36
so many ghosts. And yet, I've never seen
00:49:38
or even heard a report of a a ghost at a
00:49:42
hospital.
00:49:43
>> H Yeah,
00:49:44
>> that's good theory. H
00:49:46
>> Yeah. Have you
00:49:46
>> Let me just crack a story about this. I
00:49:50
I had a wake either a waking dream
00:49:52
state, but we I was this San Cedro Ranch
00:49:54
Hotel with my wife in the 80s. So, we
00:49:57
just go to sleep and then um I feel this
00:50:00
pressure pulling me back in the mattress
00:50:02
like
00:50:03
>> pushing on you
00:50:04
>> in the middle of the night pushing down
00:50:05
on me. I What the [ __ ] So, I get up, I
00:50:08
use the restroom, I'm adrenalized like
00:50:10
what a weird dream. I just assumed
00:50:13
intellectually I was in a waking dream
00:50:15
state.
00:50:16
>> Yeah.
00:50:16
>> Sleep paralysis they call it. And then
00:50:18
when I went back back in, I thought I
00:50:20
was as awake as I am right now. And then
00:50:22
it started again and it was aggressive
00:50:24
and it was pounding and holding me back
00:50:28
and I was like really flipped out. So
00:50:31
middle of the night, 3:00 a.m. my wife's
00:50:33
asleep. This is why we've been married a
00:50:35
long time. I tapped her on the shoulder
00:50:38
and I said, "We got to leave." And she
00:50:40
said, "Okay." She [laughter] didn't even
00:50:42
ask why.
00:50:43
>> No explanation. Well, then I explained
00:50:45
it to her and there was a painting of a
00:50:48
little girl with curly red hair on a
00:50:50
tricycle from like 1880 that flipped me
00:50:53
out.
00:50:53
>> Nope.
00:50:54
>> And we left. And then it was there was a
00:50:56
stormy night and there was either a rat
00:50:59
or some kind of animal on the road. And
00:51:02
so anyway, that happened to me and I
00:51:04
just talked to someone recently who had
00:51:06
the same paralysis, but then when they
00:51:08
got up to go to the bathroom, they were
00:51:10
standing and the thing was pushing
00:51:12
against them.
00:51:12
>> Oh, wow. Oh wow.
00:51:14
>> It's just sort of I don't have an
00:51:16
explanation for it, but it never left me
00:51:18
as far as just like what the [ __ ]
00:51:21
>> Wow. Yeah. No, I've never had anything.
00:51:23
Nothing ever happened.
00:51:24
>> You feel any pressure on this podcast?
00:51:26
Like you can't get out. You've already
00:51:28
done a 14 hour day. You feel like it
00:51:30
just goes on and on. [laughter]
00:51:32
>> What if I learned that you guys are
00:51:34
ghosts and I just sat here for an hour
00:51:36
with two ghosts?
00:51:38
>> I just go to h how do we get here? Why
00:51:41
are we here? what's going on here? So
00:51:43
then I sort of opens my mind like what
00:51:45
the [ __ ] What are we doing here?
00:51:48
>> It is. Yeah. I I don't know if there's
00:51:50
an answer though. I I feel like
00:51:52
>> we're just But aliens,
00:51:54
>> we're just here. Yeah, maybe we came on
00:51:56
the earlier comet.
00:51:58
>> What's under the pyramids? Go [laughter]
00:52:02
>> dirt.
00:52:04
>> Okay, you got that one right. That was
00:52:05
lucky. Okay.
00:52:06
>> I would [laughter] say Walt Disney's
00:52:09
head is underneath the pyramids.
00:52:13
>> No, I have a lot of pyramid talk. I'm
00:52:15
going to save it.
00:52:16
>> He's a UFO pyramid guy. I'm more
00:52:19
>> No, I think the pyramids go down deep
00:52:21
and I think there's things down there
00:52:22
and they they're kind of like antennas.
00:52:25
I I don't know. It's all weird. It's
00:52:26
just something to do. It's better than
00:52:28
drugs. Can I just mention very quickly
00:52:30
before we wrap up, which is we're living
00:52:32
in a science fiction world and that
00:52:34
>> these giant companies are building these
00:52:37
data centers to get super intelligence
00:52:40
that will supposedly solve cancer and
00:52:43
energy. And so we're in the middle of
00:52:45
this thing that is like a science
00:52:47
fiction movie.
00:52:49
>> Uh and the energy they need and how vast
00:52:51
it is and the I mean what?
00:52:54
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well,
00:52:56
>> well, yeah, we're in a lot of trouble.
00:52:58
There's no question about it. Hopefully
00:53:00
the all the energy that AI needs,
00:53:02
hopefully AI will figure out how to
00:53:04
provide all the energy that it needs.
00:53:07
>> True.
00:53:08
>> And if it is something that we should
00:53:10
all fear, it probably will figure that
00:53:12
out for itself. But in the meantime,
00:53:15
it's uh not great for people who like to
00:53:17
have their air conditioner on in the
00:53:19
summer,
00:53:20
>> right? And isn't it weird that you I
00:53:22
never thought about like the idea that
00:53:24
it took power to do any of this stuff.
00:53:26
Like I was like what what power is this?
00:53:29
I'm writing in like give me a synonym
00:53:31
for um Cheerios and uh you know coming
00:53:35
back with a list of this is what I I use
00:53:37
it as a thesaurus and then there's some
00:53:40
data center somewhere that is that
00:53:44
requires a huge amount of energy to do
00:53:46
all this [ __ ] Who knew that? You go on
00:53:49
uh Sora, I I have Sora Pro. You make up
00:53:52
a video. It goes all the way to a da d d
00:53:55
d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d
00:53:55
d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d d da and
00:53:56
then it gets inside the data center and
00:53:58
the GPUs, all the chips and there's
00:54:01
inference which makes it intelligent and
00:54:04
that's where it's exponentially going to
00:54:06
increase. Anyway, I find it fascinating,
00:54:08
a little scary, but yeah, they need
00:54:09
energy. They need energy.
00:54:11
>> So much so much smarter than I imagined,
00:54:13
especially when it lined up right next
00:54:15
to David. I mean,
00:54:16
>> I'm about the same as what you thought.
00:54:18
>> Uh, yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah. A little less.
00:54:20
There's a little less, but yeah.
00:54:21
>> Well, we This is a Christmas theme. I
00:54:23
didn't want to bring it up. And he's
00:54:24
green and I'm red. And it's sort of our
00:54:26
own little joke.
00:54:27
>> There's Dana's tree behind him.
00:54:29
>> Oh, I like [laughter] that.
00:54:31
>> You have to have a plant when you do
00:54:32
your podcast. You got to have a fake
00:54:34
plant.
00:54:35
>> You do have to have one. And Dane, I
00:54:37
David, I noticed you have a little
00:54:38
rocket ship behind you. Is that um
00:54:41
representative of your UFO fascination?
00:54:43
>> No, I don't think so. I think we just
00:54:45
rotate things around back there.
00:54:46
>> I see. They're just general. There's
00:54:48
props.
00:54:49
>> Yeah, there's books.
00:54:50
>> He's got a cool set. I Here's my last
00:54:52
question.
00:54:53
>> Yeah. What's your next When we go
00:54:55
Goodbye, Jimmy. What's your next one
00:54:57
hour like?
00:54:58
>> Yeah. Where do you go? Podcast.
00:55:00
>> I will go change out of the suit. I will
00:55:02
take off my suit. Y
00:55:04
>> I will um
00:55:05
>> take a bath.
00:55:06
>> I will go home
00:55:08
>> and I live about 15 minutes away.
00:55:10
>> Nice.
00:55:10
>> And I will catch my kids before they go
00:55:13
to sleep. And then my son will demand
00:55:15
that I lay with him, which he makes me
00:55:17
do each night. And I will lay with him
00:55:20
in bed until he falls asleep.
00:55:23
>> Usually I fall asleep before he does.
00:55:24
And then I have to wake back up and go
00:55:26
do my homework, which is kind of
00:55:28
miserable. But he's 8 years old. He
00:55:30
still likes me to lay in bed with him
00:55:32
until he falls asleep. And even though
00:55:34
we feel he's too old for that, um, we
00:55:36
love it. So, uh, we don't want to, you
00:55:38
know, we don't really want it to stop.
00:55:41
>> I think age is fine. And I think 18 we
00:55:44
could talk.
00:55:45
>> I did it till probably nine.
00:55:47
>> Eight is fine. You know, love them up.
00:55:49
Do you read books to them and stuff like
00:55:51
that?
00:55:52
>> We are. Well, we read children's books,
00:55:54
but also we've been read we we just
00:55:55
finished book four of Harry Potter,
00:55:57
which I'd not read before,
00:55:59
>> right?
00:55:59
>> And uh then that that's um that's fun.
00:56:02
That's my daughter, my son, and I that's
00:56:04
our our thing. And then at the end of
00:56:06
each book, we will watch the movie.
00:56:09
>> And then when Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean
00:56:11
Harry Potter is is brilliant for what it
00:56:13
is and it's generational now. So when do
00:56:16
you actually go lights out? Like when
00:56:18
can you get asleep after all this
00:56:20
stimulation? Like by 9:30 or 10 kind of.
00:56:23
>> No, I'll go to bed later than that.
00:56:25
Usually around 11:30 or so last night. I
00:56:28
think I was up till 12:30 because we
00:56:30
went out to dinner. But um yeah, I'll
00:56:32
get to bed. I don't you know I I I like
00:56:34
to stay up left to my own devices. I
00:56:37
would be up until 4:00 in the morning
00:56:38
every night. Really? And I'd wake up at
00:56:40
noon. But um that's not um realistic for
00:56:43
me.
00:56:44
>> So you're nocturnal.
00:56:45
>> I am. Yeah.
00:56:46
>> Genetically.
00:56:47
>> Yeah. I think just like I have a loud
00:56:49
Italian family and it was the only time
00:56:50
it was quiet in the house was late at
00:56:54
night after everyone had gone to sleep.
00:56:56
So that was my like my time to watch
00:56:58
Letterman and and just kind of stay up
00:57:01
and work on little projects. That's John
00:57:03
Travolta's thing is the world stops and
00:57:06
it's very quiet and he's nocturnal. I
00:57:08
think he's up pretty much all night and
00:57:10
then sleeps.
00:57:11
>> I'm actually up with John Travolta that
00:57:14
time [laughter] together
00:57:16
talking about flying planes.
00:57:18
>> You know, Jimmy Kimmel comes over and
00:57:20
you know, we spoon a little bit, but
00:57:22
there's nothing going on. We just like
00:57:23
being up late at night together. That's
00:57:26
him from 1975.
00:57:27
>> Pretty good. Rock and rolling one night
00:57:30
guy. That's That's my John Travolta
00:57:32
right there. Yeah, I like that.
00:57:33
>> Oh, wow. Him and
00:57:34
>> Vinnie Barbarino.
00:57:36
>> Yeah. And you know, Pulp Fiction. I You
00:57:39
just love love that guy. And he's he's
00:57:41
the nicest celebrity I've ever met of a
00:57:43
superstar.
00:57:44
>> He is very nice. Yeah. Yeah. He's super
00:57:46
nice. Yeah. You know, most of them are,
00:57:48
you know, most I mean, I'm sure like
00:57:49
everybody's got their own things, but I
00:57:52
have this I've kind of over the years I
00:57:54
just kind of go like, "Oh, okay. Well,
00:57:58
even if he is pretending to be nice,
00:58:00
he's pretending to be nice." And that's
00:58:02
um being nice. That is [laughter]
00:58:04
>> actually being nice.
00:58:05
>> Yes, I agree. That is a good way to look
00:58:07
at it.
00:58:08
>> Like that maniac Tom Cruz, he come he
00:58:11
was on our show and it was one of these
00:58:14
things like Tom has to be out of here at
00:58:17
6:04. If Tom it goes 1 second over 604,
00:58:22
you are, you know, he will will never
00:58:24
be, you know, they were very very very
00:58:27
>> adamant. We're like, "Okay, don't worry.
00:58:28
We're going to be now Tom uh being Tom
00:58:31
Cruz seems to have no idea of this and
00:58:33
decides to go into the audience and
00:58:35
greet every single person in [laughter]
00:58:36
the audience which they are over the
00:58:39
moon about. They are absolutely out of
00:58:41
their minds with joy. But it takes a you
00:58:44
know a very long time and it turns out
00:58:46
whatever that deadline was wasn't so
00:58:48
hard after all.
00:58:50
>> Wow.
00:58:51
>> They they they're all scared of their
00:58:53
job. I've seen that all over the place.
00:58:55
And then the actual person goes, I don't
00:58:57
even know what you're talking about.
00:58:59
>> Yeah. Right. Yeah.
00:59:00
>> That seems so Tom Cruz
00:59:03
>> to go in and meet every person. I mean,
00:59:05
the drive of this guy is just my I mean,
00:59:09
I will go to every movie. He's hanging
00:59:11
off the plane. He's holding his breath
00:59:13
for six minutes. I mean, you just go for
00:59:15
the spectacle of what he's putting
00:59:17
himself through physically to entertain
00:59:19
you.
00:59:20
>> Yeah. Now that I think about it, maybe
00:59:22
the reason
00:59:23
Yes. Maybe it's all this being nice to
00:59:26
everybody all the time and greeting all
00:59:28
these people. Maybe that is why he's
00:59:30
trying to kill himself on film.
00:59:32
[laughter]
00:59:32
>> Yeah,
00:59:34
he's like an old school movie star. You
00:59:35
don't really see him and then when he
00:59:36
comes out he saves all his energy and
00:59:38
then he's super nice to everyone and
00:59:40
very energetic and then he hides again
00:59:42
because
00:59:43
>> the old days we were talking you didn't
00:59:45
see Carrie Grant on TikTok that much.
00:59:47
She didn't see all these people and then
00:59:50
they were kind of stars then you saw
00:59:52
their movie and then they disappeared
00:59:54
and now it's everyone's everywhere.
00:59:56
>> They call him the last movie star but he
00:59:58
he rejects the title. You know I think
01:00:01
you know Brad Pitt uh this summer and
01:00:04
Tom Cruz it's kind of cool guys in the
01:00:07
early 60s looking great being action
01:00:09
stars and still at the top of their game
01:00:12
you know.
01:00:13
>> Yeah. Still hard as a rock in the sack.
01:00:15
>> Yeah. I'm sorry. Oh, sorry. Did I say
01:00:17
that out loud?
01:00:18
>> Yeah. Yeah. Muscular problem.
01:00:21
>> If you take a Tom Cruz and you take uh
01:00:24
you know Brad Pitt in the musculature of
01:00:27
the
01:00:28
>> and the the abs and all the delts.
01:00:32
[laughter]
01:00:33
>> We love
01:00:34
>> Jimmy. Thank you for doing this after
01:00:36
your show and do this next hour and hang
01:00:38
out with your son and thank you for
01:00:41
coming on.
01:00:41
>> If you like I could just bring the Zoom
01:00:43
and we could just I could try we could I
01:00:45
could drive home with me. you can see
01:00:46
what's going on there and uh [laughter]
01:00:49
>> maybe
01:00:49
>> always lots of laughs. We always crack
01:00:51
up. Every time on your show, we crack up
01:00:53
the whole time. So, it's great to see
01:00:55
you and uh thank you, buddy.
01:00:56
>> It's great to see you guys. You guys are
01:00:59
the best. And um and David, if I see you
01:01:02
walking.
01:01:02
>> Yeah.
01:01:03
>> Um I'm going to bounce. So,
01:01:05
>> yeah, do a bit, dude. For sure.
01:01:06
>> Definitely.
01:01:07
>> I'm so embarrassing in the real world,
01:01:09
so just do something that'll [laughter]
01:01:11
be for sure embarrassing to me. Uh all
01:01:14
right. Thanks, buddy. Hey. Hi Dana. Nice
