00:07:17
really gotten into listening to podcast and then I'd heard you know about you guys having this one and it was kind of
00:07:23
SNL related and then I'd gotten to I mean I've listened to pretty much all of
00:07:30
them and then what for me the funniest thing is is like it's the only time I've ever enjoyed listening to people talking
00:07:37
about comedy where I haven't been like why don't you [ __ ] make me laugh in
00:07:43
instead of telling me how hard comedy is but no I I I love the show I mean I
00:07:52
the most recent one I listened to was uh Nick swartson which is a really funny one and
00:07:59
then guy I listened to one that was a couple of couple of couple of years old but you guys got
00:08:05
to kidding around about just pilots and making connections and being stuck on
00:08:11
planes and gosh it was so funny [ __ ] I was going to tell Dana I had this girl on this plane last week and I was on the
00:08:18
road and it's all silent first class or whatever class I was in and she goes and I just go I pop up like a
00:08:25
mircat I'm like cuz no you can't just get away with that and then everyone's quiet and then she
00:08:30
again really deep one and so of course I wake the guy next to me I'm like hey man like it's a terrorist I go we got a
00:08:36
situation dude like what are we doing because something's going on there's germs everywhere and then I sort of
00:08:43
unionize everyone around me I go what like where's the air marshall like let's bring them back for this because then
00:08:49
she sneezed I'm like oh get [ __ ] you're not sneezing and acting like it's nothing this is we're all flying
00:08:55
together and the steward is up there reading Us magazine I go get on this [ __ ] on that grenade yeah have have the
00:09:01
Air Marshals just kind of quietly fed away because I mean it was amazing for a
00:09:07
while there you could always see those guys kind of the the kind of like ex
00:09:12
oficio shirt on or the like fishing shirt on yeah just really like doing People
00:09:19
Magazine crossword staring at everyone Faking It gun somebody down I flew with
00:09:25
a guy was terrified to fly worse than me and then on came the plane right at the
00:09:32
end we were in first class but it was a pretty big first class you know domestic
00:09:38
never anyway so six people of Middle Eastern descent came on and uh sat down
00:09:45
and they all started praying and this guy is flipping out and I just said off the I said it's so obvious it can't be
00:09:52
true you're never been safe it's way too obvious cuz it was you
00:09:58
know Lawrence had a a great bit and like his second standup special about like
00:10:05
post 911 that was the only time he'd really seen blacks and whites working
00:10:11
together was you know on a plane kind of monitoring who was coming in on and off
00:10:17
who to be racist against other yeah exactly I like when they bring out the
00:10:23
beverage C and the and the flight attendants stand in front of with their arms crossed oh boy
00:10:30
nothing's getting through that you guys mention that that you know your life depends on uh margerie and so manyi
00:10:38
bottles that's what stands between you and know going down dude I I stand up in
00:10:43
the back and I just pull that little curtain to look up in first and she's got the beverage cart and she's like just gives her hand like whoa whoa whoa
00:10:50
whoa that's as far as we're going right now we got a whole thing up here you know you know what the Bev cart means
00:10:56
and so I was like oh you can't even get close you can't stand up they think you're making a move I know
00:11:01
and on the back of her uniform it said stand your ground I thought it was a little dark I mean do we need we need
00:11:08
said we're over Florida right now I I'm just trying to get to Houston okay 90 minutes I don't need some kind of action
00:11:15
up toward the bull bull workk part of the at I lost you you have got the
00:11:21
Dennis Miller down and he really he makes it's almost like having him be the third host because yeah he makes an
00:11:27
appearance at every show you guys do through through LoveIt and Dennis make
00:11:33
appearances God you know I this um this week I was for some reason I was like
00:11:38
I'm gonna I'm gonna go back and could couldn't find anything to watch I was like I'm gonna start the Larry Sanders
00:11:44
show again oh there you guys are first season both of you guys are in that
00:11:50
hilarious bits that's incredible I was in the first show I think one of them
00:11:57
substituting for Larry yeah I think no that was that was I think right around
00:12:02
four but David might have been in the first one I think might have beat you in
00:12:08
there you know I don't know I me I was recorded before the show premiered and
00:12:14
then you remember Herve villz y saw that one where he had the beard and then you
00:12:20
had the great Herve villz was my guest and because he was just from another country he didn't know he wasn't on a
00:12:26
real talk show he didn't know doing a talk show within a talk show with you
00:12:31
know so he thought he was in a real substitute talk show host yeah you know Dana yours might not have been first
00:12:36
only because would they have the first episode without establishing Larry has his own show and because guest host yeah
00:12:45
uh I think I think M Luke thanks for bringing this up guys you were hey let's just agree that you were both there
00:12:51
first season but um you know I was even thinking about that in terms of getting into the business there Dana in first
00:13:00
then David got in yeah then I got in yeah he is the silver back in the group
00:13:08
we have to what you say you would have loved that Luke did you ever get on Larry
00:13:14
Sanders no I didn't I never I think by the time I got to town because I can
00:13:20
remember watching it back in Dallas I think it was already I think it was already off but I can remember seeing um
00:13:29
uh excuse me Gary chandling around Santa Monica when I first got into
00:13:34
town then new people like Duke COV me that were were friends with him and Greg
00:13:39
caner that knew him but yeah he was he was not the show finished by them but
00:13:46
such a funny show and the interesting part was that he did that style of
00:13:51
shooting quas documentary you know and then and then that influenced Ricky jery
00:13:57
oh made the office handheld stuff and then and then we got our office but he
00:14:02
did there was no digital so he had three guys with 16 mm cameras on their shoulders so I'm talking to Larry got
00:14:09
one on me one on Larry and a two shot and so you could overlap do whatever you wanted every take would be its complete
00:14:15
organic take so it was the easiest acting I don't if you ever I mean when digital came in that was more around but
00:14:21
at the time it was like we don't just completely organic super real that's why
00:14:27
still so much more diff to have to do that on a film um but interesting that
00:14:33
that guys did it I was thinking about you guys did you guys ever watch because
00:14:40
to me the funniest show and I guess it qualifies as a sitcom is H Faulty
00:14:48
Towers um yes with John C and it only ran it only ran for two seasons but that
00:14:53
to me is just you know uh unbelievable Danny you saw that I don't think I have
00:14:59
you not seen D you've got to watch that I mean the guy I'm sure I'm sure it's one of those things that's scripted but
00:15:06
he is so funny with the sides and muttering um that it it seems unscripted
00:15:13
that's me yeah oh gosh it it's it's unbelievable and yeah only went for two
00:15:19
seasons so probably only about 20 20 episodes if I think 28 or something it's
00:15:25
like kind of like The Honeymooners or something but John C's John C I think The Honeymooners was only 28 did that
00:15:32
only go a couple of Seasons yeah just not that many just they only got 50 million viewers so they
00:15:38
had to cancel it back then right but John C and Monty pythons you
00:15:44
know I mean yeah they they're just and your dad sorry insert your dad it's just
00:15:50
a fun fact your dad brought Monty Python to America well he my dad was at working
00:15:58
at this a pb PBS station in Dallas Channel 13 and K yeah K and he somehow W
00:16:07
up as the program director without any experience and but it was really he had
00:16:12
this friend you know kind of buddy that he'd hang out that worked there Ron
00:16:18
deviler but he was the one who had had
00:16:24
maybe Amani python but they have a record before they had anything televised but anyhow he's the one who
00:16:30
had said to my dad these guys are unbelievable they're from England we got
00:16:36
to get them on on the show and then they got the guys to come to Dallas where
00:16:42
they had kind of a wild couple of nights with those guys but yeah it was at first air on K in Dallas but yeah it was
00:16:50
really my friend's my my Dad's friend Ron devil who who got my dad to do it
00:16:57
but yeah it says here it was your dad so we're going to go with that okay good um and uh you're and so you sort of got
00:17:04
into that kind of Comedy like when I was a kid I saw Life of Brian I was a kid but I thought holy [ __ ] it was like
00:17:09
rated R but I thought that was so [ __ ] funny and it was not like what I'd seen regular stuff I'd seen you know
00:17:17
yeah I can remember when that came out somehow that it was kind of over my head and I and I still haven't seen all the
00:17:25
Monty Python stuff and I know you know it's one of those people yeah I have not
00:17:30
I don't think I've seen the whole thing where I didn't get all the stuff because I was too young and I don't and it's
00:17:36
also some English humor but I just remember thinking there were boobs in it maybe that was it yeah it's like maybe
00:17:43
that's why I lik Benny Hill could you keyed in
00:17:48
hopefully somehow that kind of was over my head at the time but I've since like
00:17:54
there all these kind of documentaries about Monty Python I just find those so funny because they're all
00:18:01
such like you know Eric idle and Graham Chapman and they're all such funny guys
00:18:08
um and just all that stuff of they all kind of went to the same you know the
00:18:13
kind of these boys schools like Eaton and then I think they all went to one of two colleges like Oxford and can't
00:18:21
remember what the other one was but they're all I mean especially of course John C is just so funny um yeah but they
00:18:29
do seem like kind of I mean that's one thing I wanted to ask you guys about because I mean one thing I always think
00:18:35
about you know funny people and you know is somehow they have kind of also very
00:18:43
sensitive but also like a quietly kind of rebellious Spirit to like you know to
00:18:49
where you can get told when you're you know a kid and I'm not including myself I'm talking about guys like you and I
00:18:55
think about people like Mike Judge where like you can get told like that that's now that's not funny you need to grow up
00:19:01
you need to get serious and not do that where a lot of people say okay yeah that's that's true I need to stop
00:19:07
imitating this person or walking funny or you know that kind of thing where I
00:19:12
think there's a kind of a rebellious spirit in there that I find really interesting that you guys
00:19:19
have um it may be a little bit of a through line of some kind of childhood
00:19:24
connection not not that a childhood would completely create a full form person as a genetic component but
00:19:30
there's a little bit of passive aggressiveness into it I noticed later that all all my characters were cocky
00:19:36
and aggressive church lady Hans and th we could take go and I thought what what
00:19:42
and I I'm a nice guy and and I I have the disease to please but as a comedian
00:19:49
I could just be kind of passive aggressive and I mean ventriloquist I
00:19:54
had heard you you know talking maybe it was on Howard Stern just kind of talking
00:19:59
about how your your dad how he could be kind of hard on you like said you and you and a friend were like trying to fix
00:20:06
a car like a bwn mower in the yard a weed killer thing yeah have you thought
00:20:12
about using your penis no I said dad what tool should I use for this me and my best friends in junior college in the
00:20:19
garage just in the morning what what tool should I use and he was just in a mood he was just in a moment he's in the
00:20:26
garage he said quote and we never forgot it oh Jesus Christ use your penis you
00:20:32
[Laughter] [ __ ] my judge has a great one about
00:20:38
his father and I think his dad was I think like a archaeology Professor but
00:20:44
yeah he'd left the house one day he told Mike to to mow the lawn and and and I
00:20:52
think it was Albuquerque and he got home at the end of the day and Mike had M the
00:20:58
lawn and Mike is one of those people when he'll imitate someone he'll kind of contort and turn into the person but
00:21:04
you'll see him turn into his dad's like I told you to mow the godamn
00:21:12
pawn but I also think it's something that ties into like musicians like I'll think about like Tom Petty he's one of
00:21:18
those guys that had a like a tough dad or like um you know Bruce Springsteen
00:21:23
had like a dad that like didn't communicate with them I mean uh so I don't know I think it's kind of one of
00:21:29
those things where you can Retreat yeah it's also there's a little bit of attention getting when I was no dad
00:21:35
around so and I was you'll never believe this I was a bit of a pipsqueak growing
00:21:41
up and uh so that was your nickname small fry shrimp cocktail yeah
00:21:47
I had I had a few of those yeah uh fruit cake fruit cup fruity
00:21:53
um any derivative any derivative of of fruit
00:22:01
yeah now back then fruit sort of had a negative connotation I can't well you got
00:22:07
revenge yeah it was a different time yeah hey folks fruit cocktail fruit cup
00:22:12
that that was fruity shorts fruit pants yeah Fruity Pebbles lover so so I um I was
00:22:22
sort of like Whispering jokes around almost just to uh survival mode in school and not confident enough to think
00:22:29
the joke should be at full volume so I would just say it and if anyone laughed I'd be like oh that was a joke and if
00:22:35
they don't laugh you go I wasn't yeah that was just a muttering yeah yeah it was a mutter and uh and so uh that that
00:22:42
sort of got me through but I there is something to all that stuff I I I really think there is and did you guys ever
00:22:49
like I always think like the friends you had back then like I always think like
00:22:55
with you know really funny people like you guys you had to have been around other funny
00:23:02
really funny kids but where you guys would have you know kept moving in the
00:23:07
direction of you know where you wound up where they kind of would have done the thing that I was talking about where
00:23:13
they would have grown up gotten serious the hard part Luke is right after
00:23:20
college because that's the big split where you go I go to college or I do
00:23:25
this stupid [ __ ] shenanigans that make no money and it's oh look at my balloons what just happened this happens
00:23:31

I know he was pretty very nice kind of funny guy and I mean I'll think back and
00:24:30
I'll talk about it with my brothers just thinking like gosh he must have been under quite a strain to have like you
00:24:36
know three kids and you know School keeping us in school and then he had by
00:24:43
that time by you know the late 70s he started like a little kind of advertising company just him and you
00:24:49
know like four or five people but yeah my dad was great and you know I never I
00:24:55
never had a cross word with him um but in terms yeah I don't you know
00:25:02
they hope for the and they certainly didn't say like you know don't don't uh
00:25:08
try to get into movies or don't try to make a movie but they you know would
00:25:14
have been kind of I'm sure now looking back they were kind of quietly concerned but definitely you know had the feeling
00:25:20
where we were from in Dallas you could see people just kind of looking at us like kind of these guys that had lost
00:25:26
their way and now had settled on the pipe dream of wanting to get a film made what was the first thing
00:25:33
was bottle rocket is that thing together just is Who would know how to make something that good that fast that's so
00:25:39
rare well I think it was just Owen and Wes Anderson trying to write something
00:25:45
uh was he a buddy yeah Owen Owen had met Wes in an English class at the
00:25:50
University of Texas in Austin Wes was from Houston they didn't know each other and they were both you know both wrote
00:25:58
then Wes I think even back then wanted to you know direct stuff so then he Owen
00:26:03
did kind of a onea play with Owen in it and Wes directing and then and then they'd written a whole script of bottle
00:26:10
rocket and uh it was kind of around the time of uh like sex lives and videotape
00:26:17
and The Brothers McMullen where these kind of Cheaper films were getting made and and
00:26:23
we thought okay well maybe we can do one of one of those and they'd written a whole script and then we you know learn
00:26:29
that well even to do it cheaply would cost you know 400 Grand or something so
00:26:34
met this guy and Dallas who had said you know you should from the script make a
00:26:41
short film and then there's a this thing called the Sundance Film Festival in
00:26:46
Utah where they have a shorts program this was you know the early days of of Sundance and then that's how it that's
00:26:52
how that all see that people already saw a 13-minute version that didn't go wide though right that just investors or
00:26:58
something yeah it no it just went it went to Sundance nothing happened with it there and then a woman named Barbara
00:27:05
Bole a producer she saw it and liked it and she got it to a a producer friend of
00:27:11
hers this woman Polly Platt who's kind of interesting woman like kind of behind
00:27:17
the scenes she'd been married to Peter bogdanovic and she was instrumental in getting the last picture show and Paper
00:27:24
Moon made oh [ __ ] but then they got divorced and then she kind of became the right-and man right-hand person of uh
00:27:32
James L Brooks and she's the one who bigy uh got him to make uh Terms of
00:27:38
Endearment because that was also a Larry McMurry book like like The Last Picture Show and um you know they went on to
00:27:46
make Broadcast News and then she she saw the short liked it read the script got
00:27:51
it to James L Brooks and then we started this kind of long process of trying to get it made just because at the time he
00:27:59
was making this movie all do any anything which at the time was kind of famously
00:28:05
it was going to be a musical with you know I Remember music by Prince and and
00:28:11
uh you know chore choreography by Twi Tharp and um you know Nick Niti was in
00:28:18
it and they did all this stuff it was a musical and they decided Jes then they
00:28:23
decided to sat your NTI yeah Jesus that's like North Dallas 48 hours oh
00:28:30
gosh I mean 48 hours to me is I was just watching a lot of that last week anyhow
00:28:37
that that's how it got started and uh yeah that's how it started holy [ __ ] and James El Brooks is huge yeah so you're
00:28:44
like 22 when B I think around yeah I can never I think around 22 or so and I
00:28:53
think it was about 94 we made the short and then I think about I know the movie
00:28:59
came out in 90 I think six um when you went back to the town I
00:29:05
mean I think you were in ocidental when you went back to the hometown it was different right I mean people were like
00:29:11
what the [ __ ] you guys are movie stars I mean were you a movie star then what did it feel like well I mean you got in a
00:29:17
bigie when we were making there's still I mean Dallas is kind of a you know
00:29:22
pretty big town yeah it's it's it's a big town and also kind of a money driven money driven town by you know like very
00:29:31
traditional you know businesses and and you know oil and gas so we weren't kind of welcome back as
00:29:38
Heroes we were still we were still the guys that if anything it was there more
00:29:43
kind what do you guys doing they're doing what you oh yeah hey my buddy saw looks like you guys were filming a movie
00:29:49
over there by the emotion picture by the by kind of near downtown was that you guys uh you know it's never kind of like
00:29:55
hey great job or congratulations right we always we always laugh about the
00:30:01
after we'd made bottle rocket and you know some producers saying to us like I
00:30:07
hope you guys are ready for your lives to change and we were like oh yeah we
00:30:12
are we are so ready and then like no kidding around okay 30 years later still
00:30:17
nothing has [Laughter] changed audition for American Idol
00:30:24
change when bottle rocket came out where like you know came and in in two weeks
00:30:30
um but you're looked at a little differently like when I'm from Arizona just the fact that I moved to LA I was a
00:30:36
star I did nothing I'm just there like wait you were in La you've been to LA and you move you moved there because
00:30:43
everyone's like I might move to LA and no one did and I did and they're like what the [ __ ] and meanwhile I'm scraping
00:30:49
and scratching and doing nothing but he just said I got an audition was like front page news they couldn't [ __ ]
00:30:54
believe it so yeah and even with Arizona being closer you'd think it would that's impressive I mean you're you're hours
00:31:01
away they were flipping out they couldn't believe I I had a when I got my first call back took about a year honestly but you take a while then you
00:31:07
get something and then that's big news but this little wispy nothings are a big deal because in my head they were a big
00:31:14
deal to get an audition to get yeah a six minute spot at midnight uh and bomb
00:31:20
at The Improv was exciting so you know it's all the same and then you inch your way up to fame my fame never came
00:31:25
quickly was yours quicker uh because bottle rocket and then what's what was
00:31:30
the one that people really kind of turned their head it take a while yeah it old school Legally Blonde
00:31:39
fuing moners that was maybe the first big hit where you know people you
00:31:44
wouldn't expect to recognize you you know little kids and moms goes wide yeah
00:31:50
yeah and then um and then you know I guess definitely then old school where it really connected with guys and you
00:31:58
know guys that were my age at time and then you know I don't hold it in the
00:32:04
same level as animal house but it was that kind of mov so you get teenage boys and then you
00:32:11
know guys our age that that loved it but yeah I guess with those kind of started
00:32:17
when you Vince and will both all kicking on all four gear it was great I mean and
00:32:22
a and it was oh Todd Phillips too yeah Todd Phillips yeah that was incredible being around will that might have been
00:32:29
like the first SNL and then I was thinking about it since like I've worked with so many of you guys you know and
00:32:37
like Kristen wig but so many SNL people and to me that's been you know besides
00:32:42
getting to work with um guys like Niti or Jean Hackman and James KH that that
00:32:49
was always kind like the most exciting thing to me like okay I'm getting to work with you know the guys that my dad
00:32:55
loved and the guys that you know were so so cool but then getting to work with
00:33:00
SNL people which I've gotten to work with so many and still do um but uh yeah
00:33:07
that's always been kind of the high point is those those older you know male
00:33:12
actors and then you you SNL people and I know Dana I mean which one are
00:33:19
we you guys are you guys oldale SNL actors now you guys are the SNL actors
00:33:25
and and and the old studs yeah there you go that's did you how was Jee Hackman
00:33:30
because I don't I don't know if this is true but I think it was the quick and the dead it was a Sharon Stone sort of
00:33:35
produced comedy it had Leonardo Caprio in the 90s comedy no it was a western
00:33:41
right and uh the director out there and the crew and everyone and he's and Jean
00:33:47
Hackman and he's going okay so Jean you'll walk down here you'll pivot here
00:33:52
he's going like this and Jean Hackman just said in front of everybody okay first of all I'm not going to do any of
00:33:58
that [ __ ] and don't you and don't you ever give me a [ __ ] direction again
00:34:04
oh my God I I did see Jean get um testy
00:34:09
a little but I love a guy with that kind of control a little under the collar but I think with him like number one like
00:34:16
you know he's one of those guys that you always think of as being like age 50 but
00:34:22
even when I worked with him on the Royal tenant bombs he was 72 yeah but you know he he looked 5050
00:34:29
at 30 always but he was also he was a
00:34:35
marine and then you know a real actor's actor in in the best kind of way but you
00:34:41
know like a New York guy he'd been like you know I think roommates with like Dustin Hoffman and Robert Duval but I
00:34:47
think he really put his time in and really did take it seriously um but yeah you know he got he
00:34:54
got a little heated a couple of times and and then think he I think he kind of settled into the movie we worked on
00:35:02
together the 10 months but I do remember one time you know just kind of sitting there and I could feel Jean kind of just
00:35:08
staring at me you I look looking over at
00:35:14
like oh man I'm like hey Jean he's like you remind me a lot of my
00:35:22
son oh and I was like how do you guys get along
00:35:30
but yeah he was great I do remember when I when I worked with I mean I always
00:35:36
asked people that that worked with them like did you know how was it when you worked with Jean Hackman and I asked
00:35:43
first I asked yeah well I mean I loved it I asked I asked Nick Noti because they' worked on this movie Under Fire
00:35:51
and uh Nick was like oh Jean and I got along great um and that but he told her
00:35:57
he told her really incredible story about Jean losing his temper at the at
00:36:03
the end of the movie there was some shootout and I think the the director's name was coost graas some kind of
00:36:09
European director but he was saying you know in the finale in the middle of the streets we're going to that's when they
00:36:15
sa they killed the pig in the middle of the street an actual Pig and J said yeah
00:36:22
no I'm not GNA do the scene if you're G to slaughter a pig in the scene I'm not going to do it oh really
00:36:28
it's a Jee no this is part of the movie It's it you know it shows that the
00:36:33
everything dies at the end it's a Slaughter whether it's a pig or human je was like I'm I'm not gonna do it you can
00:36:39
film it in a way that you don't need to slaughter the pig in in the scene and he said okay Jean then they do the scene
00:36:47
and this guy slaughtered the pig and Jean went bistic on this South American
00:36:54
location and Jean you know screamed at Nick he was like Nick did you know about
00:37:00
this and Nick was like uh no Jan I didn't and uh then he went up to the director and said you told me you
00:37:07
weren't gonna do that you agreed to that and the director said no G and I did not know I told you stupid guys not to do
00:37:14
that je was like you're telling me that you told them not to do it he said yes yes but jean you should have seen your
00:37:21
reaction it was wonderful and then then she went and
00:37:27
then Jean blew off the handle oh yeah of course did he get physical or just
00:37:32
verbal I think just verbal I mean he is a big guy but I think that yeah but I
00:37:38
think he's also one of those guys that like somehow you know that what we love
00:37:44
about him comes from that same kind of anger you know the way he kind of the
00:37:49
way he kind of Chuckles and smuckles through scenes it's for a run there he was my favorite guy there was 10 15
00:37:56
years people go who's your favorite actor he was definitely one of three I would just go Jean Hackman when he's always kind of laughing and yeah and
00:38:03
shaking peanuts in his hand you know in like Mississippi Burning where he's like you know you got a stupid
00:38:10
smile yeah he always kills it all the way back he is he's like yeah the top
00:38:18
three where you know if he's in it it's gonna be I'll go cner cner going full
00:38:25
circle said that Jee ha was the best actor never worked with yeah what did they do that was when he played the
00:38:30
rushan was it no way out yeah and and I I um yeah I talked to to cner about it
00:38:38
too and and yeah he he thought he was the best and then he had a thing where
00:38:44
something about where they played a scene in Jean's office a certain way and
00:38:49
each time they were both sitting and this was like the third scene where they're in Jean's office and Kevin said
00:38:55
to the director you know I think think that I should be standing you know dur in the scene's like no it just doesn't
00:39:01
work if if you're not sitting and and uh and while Kevin and the director are
00:39:07
going back and forth Kevin said you know Hackman's just kind of sitting there watching it and uh and then the director
00:39:14
said okay well what's Jean supposed to do you know if you're standing up you know o over him and his office and uh
00:39:21
CER said to him like Gan will figure it out and still you know uh Hackman didn't
00:39:27
say they did the scene and then that day you know in the studio parking lot um
00:39:34
Hackman called cner over to his car and he like oh boy um but then Jean then
00:39:41
Jean said you know you reminded me a lot of myself you know when I was kind of
00:39:46
younger a few years ago and just you really care about what you're doing and
00:39:51
uh you know I think it's great but yeah just yeah know I think he's a cool guy
00:39:57
oh [ __ ] yeah yeah that guy that's the kind you don't like that he's not in as
00:40:02
much you know like I want always to be the same age just always be in movies I
00:40:11
know how often do if you've been in a film like when you tell about the the pig killing thing with it it's kind of
00:40:17
like okay this is more dramatic oh yeah better than anything in the movie and
00:40:23
sometimes that you must you must both have had experiences of people going off or whatever and going can we get this on
00:40:29
fil oh gosh so much are just like being around like funny crew people be like this guy is funnier than anything
00:40:36
everything in the movie like this this the teamster that I talked every day where it's like you know I just remember
00:40:43
like kind of being on set one day and like trudging to set and like God I can't believe it's only Tuesday and this
00:40:50
Teamster was like it's Thursday Luke I'm like no man it's it's only Tuesday it's
00:40:55
like it's Thursday it's always Thursday um that was this guy's like
00:41:01
mot always Thursday I one day to go every day is one day to go you ever have
00:41:07
a crew guy stand next to you Luke and then they go uh you might not had this cuz they say
00:41:13
the [ __ ] ballsiest [ __ ] sometime one guy goes this one's a little light on the
00:41:19
laughs huh I'm like what the [ __ ] this movie but I'm like a Hired Hand I'm not
00:41:25
I didn't write it I'm like I I mean I don't know dude we're we're doing our best with it oh yeah now little soft
00:41:32
well now it's just like um you know people texting like you look over and
00:41:39
see you know they're talking about well do I want this guy you know texting or
00:41:44
smirking at me or looking at what the [ __ ] are these guys
00:41:49
doing is funny but yeah definitely those you know what Dana what you were saying
00:41:54
so many instances of like God if if we could if if the movie could be as good
00:42:00
as what's going on in the Mak of the movie Behind the Scenes I mean uh when I
00:42:07
was doing road to wellville with Anthony Hopkins the smartest guy in this set was the makeup head of makeup and his name
00:42:14
happened to be Peter Frampton but he could dissect the script why it's
00:42:19
working that's the one no and it was effortless for him I go I hope he stood behind the
00:42:25
director well that was Irish that crew was Irish I guess or Scottish whatever
00:42:31
but after the lunch break the entire camera area smelled like Guinness beer
00:42:38
like I'm not kidding like everybody would have like eight or 10 pints would come out for the second part of Jesus
00:42:44
and there was a whole drama with the director and this woman and you'd be screaming and he's hung over and then he's going after like so anyway the
00:42:51
making of movies no that's like you know I just heard someone saying like talking about chin cheetah theous
00:42:58
Roman Studio I've never gotten to work there but this actor was saying yeah I always like working at chinita you know
00:43:05
you'd go to lunch and you know everyone would drink wine and you go back to work but I mean I gosh I do kind of can't
00:43:12
help but romanticize those those old days uh of of film making although I am
00:43:19
kind of glad I missed that the eight the 80s in Hollywood sound a little dicey in
00:43:24
terms of for safety well no well just like you know just night shoots and like
00:43:31
goty guys you know kind of you know doing doing drugs on on the on the on
00:43:37
the different trucks and U yeah I think that might still be going on I don't love night shoots I don't love uh yeah
00:43:45
some sets are actually really fun Dana you know this some are fun some are [ __ ] work and it's yeah and then
00:43:50
there is the classic thing where you have a great time on a set you know and the thing doesn't work and those times
00:43:57
when it's been a grind and it does work you hear about like you know Deborah Winger and Richard Gear hated each other
00:44:03
on an officer and gentleman then it just seems like this incredible love story where yeah and what is the alpha male
00:44:11
thing of like do we have to shoot 25 hours straight cuz the crew the first
00:44:16
day the crew looks fresh-faced three weeks in they look like 100 years older and like yeah we're g to we're going to
00:44:23
go triple overtime tonight you know and it's like the most I've ever been in my
00:44:28
life literally was when I was walking to Stan makita's I was going to do G
00:44:34
singing and dancing a song called um foxy lady and I'm walking there and I
00:44:40
I'd been at on the set 21 hours I thought this is crazy like the most tired ever in my life now I've got to
00:44:47
bring it to this thing I dreamed of my whole life but I think they're actually kind of now like because I I just worked
00:44:53
on something that had these really long hours but you know know I would come in on a Tuesday and a Thursday and do a
00:45:00
scene or two so I'd always be in a great mood and just over the course of four months you just people were just a
00:45:06
little less friendly every time I went back and some people have rap mean
00:45:12
they're just angry well just just getting kind of worn out whereas like you know first week was like you know
00:45:18
introduce introduce yourself to like the camera grip he's like hey my man like big fan like we're gonna have a good
00:45:24
time together buddy it's G be great month later it's like hey Luke how you doing um then then you know hey Luke you
00:45:32
know your line sick it's called a Mark if you could hit it be great if you need a sandbag we can do
00:45:40
that but you got to hit it because that's what it's lift yeah the dp's on his back under
00:45:46
some kind of camera rig reaching up like this holding a light all right let's go
00:45:53
I'm always standing by some Union teams are going we're never going to use this shot I I listen I can't I have to do it
00:45:59
whatever it is I got to do it they Point me I try to chime in and Chirp up you
00:46:04
can't get away with [ __ ] they're just like It's a Grind people want to fill that day they got to fill I don't know
00:46:10
if I jinxed it but I was on Little Nikki and it one of Adam Sandler's who's you know the our biggest movie star but
00:46:16
anyway I remember there a night shoot and it's like a Halloween film or something everyone's a little monster
00:46:22
something doesn't I'm standing next to Jack juto the produc I just without thinking I said is this
00:46:29
going to work it's so hard I remember saying I
00:46:35
remember I would say that to like you know Mike Judge on idiocracy we'd be
00:46:40
doing something and I'd say like Mike Mike is this too much is it
00:46:47
too dumb right and and Mike say you don't think it's funny and I was like I
00:46:53
think it's funny but I mean I'm completely immature sure I'm like you know 14 inside I of course think it's
00:47:01
funny I'm thinking about the critics and regular
00:47:07
citizens citizens yeah we had Mike on this podcast great he's funny and the visual
00:47:14
on the zoom when when he goes into a it's making me laugh so hard because he would become the character he does and
00:47:22
you can see him kind of like swallow and like turn and speaking of
00:47:27
of the Hill gu yeah yeah speaking of friends like I can remember Mike talking
00:47:33
about these guys that he'd grown up with and um uh he might have even talked
00:47:39
about it on your show but somehow you know they were all kind of you know 12 to 14 and somehow they were they
00:47:46
mentioned you know uh Teddy Kennedy running for president one of the friends said yeah no he can never be president
00:47:53
because of Chap atic and then one friend like yeah no he can't be he'll never get to be pres because of Chap atic and
00:47:58
they're like Danny you don't know what the hell chap aquic is you know and then they they got into
00:48:05
it said yeah do I'm not stupid I know what chap atic is like okay what is it he was like chap atic is a it's a uh
00:48:15
it's a bird it's a bird that's why you can't
00:48:21
run yeah because of a bird no this guy didn't know what chap quitted it's funny
00:48:27
but that's made sense to him he's like right cuz the whole bird thing was it David fry who did an album that had part
00:48:35
of that on was somewhere I remember a comedian maybe it was Bonnie Python and the line was uh Kennedy saying when I return Mary
00:48:43
Joe in the car were gone I just remember that I don't know God picture with Twitter back then I wouldn't be [ __ ]
00:48:49
analyzing everything back you couldn't kill anyone back then yeah I mean you
00:48:54

00:55:51
gonna ask you guys well this because in terms of SNL like
00:55:57
I did you guys have a thing where once High because I'm just going to do uh
00:56:04
Seth Meyers you know like a month ago and you know that 8h hallway where it's
00:56:09
chronological order all that you know those great cash shots where I you know started at the very beginning in you
00:56:16
know 75 and you know which I wouldn't wouldn't have seen as a kid but then
00:56:21
when I started watching you know kind of late 70s with my you know my Dad and
00:56:27
brothers but then did you guys have a thing right around maybe ninth or 10th
00:56:32
grade wherever when you started doing something on Saturday night when you could stay out till like midnight where
00:56:38
I missed I feel like I missed quite a few years and of course it what you couldn't see things viral um but yeah I
00:56:46
feel like I missed a few you know Seasons just when because it's when i' started kind of you know hanging around
00:56:53
with friends on Saturday night yeah and not even even in seventh and eth you
00:56:58
know grade you're at home you know you're not going out you can't go out too late that's the pocket of when you
00:57:04
like a cast exactly that's what I mean where you really what was your cast I mean that would have been the Eddie
00:57:10
Murphy like you know that would have been like kind of you know 12 10 11 12
00:57:17
13 but but then you're 68 so that would be I don't know how old you're no Luke
00:57:24
you're not you're young Dana did you watch those first like the
00:57:30
75s and the 76 yeah I mean two uh two things to unpack here one is I never
00:57:37
learned I love that phrase I never learned how to program a VCR record so I
00:57:42
had to watch it live I don't know when the VCR came in but but I was in college during those years and I would I I
00:57:49
definitely copied Dan AIDS Jimmy Carter and stuff like that so I was aware of all that and having that dream but I
00:57:57
would miss shows because I was doing toward that later part of the 70s I was working clubs and there be a second show
00:58:03
and I'd be on stage yeah and then the 90s when I got off SNL I was working a
00:58:08
lot had a family and I never learned how to program of VCR so I I did miss a lot
00:58:14
of shows yeah that's now everything's I know yeah you have to catch the rerun
00:58:20
now yeah of course now tape it watch them all or see it live Twitter YouTube

01:02:35
everybody in that family it's either like you know when you're in that position of wearing the dusties you
01:02:41
either you know get your feelings hurt and be like hey you start laughing about
01:02:46
it yourself it's hard to have pride when you're everyone hates them
01:02:54
[Music] before we go I want to give Luke a specific compliment cuz I noticed it and
01:03:01
mentioned it to my wife cuz she saw the movie with me so so we're watching
01:03:06
Horizon we're loving it because just love westerns and um the see you're kind of
01:03:12
the the head guy of this Wagon Train yeah and so these two creepy guys kind
01:03:17
of are looking at a woman cleaning herself and stuff so and then you're just you're just trying to make this the
01:03:23
thing go fine get everything but the way you went up and approached These Guys
01:03:28
these guys who clearly didn't give a [ __ ] about you they were ready to kill you but you were really talking to them
01:03:35
and then the guy stood up he's like and then your reaction of uh where you decide in your okay I'm not gonna fight
01:03:41
over this right now was really really compelling I don't know I just really remember because I put myself in your
01:03:47
shoes you know you gotta you gotta go talk to these guys and tell them to stop doing this and it's like so awkward but
01:03:54
I thought the scene was great thanks that's that's funny you say that that's where I mean Kevin cner is really he's
01:04:02
really good and sensitive as a director like because you'll go through it all and he'll start kind of acting it out
01:04:09
physically thinking like you don't want to go up to these [ __ ] guys you don't want to go back to your family it's late
01:04:15
you've been on the trail all day you've been out here three months you don't want to go talk to these guys but they've been helping you you know but
01:04:22
you got to go up there they can't do what they've been doing so you
01:04:28
know really through it and then it's just one of those things where I'll think like
01:04:33
okay if I could just kind of do it just like Kevin was doing when he was showing
01:04:38
it to me that would be good yeah but thank you for saying that and thank you
01:04:45
um for watching it with Mrs Carvey and um you know we'll get get Dave to watch
01:04:51
it all yeah I'm waiting for part two I'm going to do a whole thing at once yeah okay a little Horizon
01:04:58
Marathon what's the what's the um new one with with the uh we got Arlington
01:05:05
were you in Arlington right by your house or something oh yeah I was at the at the allar game where
01:05:12
um uh where i' I'd taken out the game
01:05:17
the game ball for the allar game and I I took a couple of friends with me that
01:05:23
I'd grown up with were there you know they were kind of making fun of me and the fact that it wasn't televised and
01:05:29
they they kept saying that I was the guy that gave the ball to the guy that gave the ball to the guy that gave the ball
01:05:35
that put it on the mound um just that it wasn't that's an important job right but
01:05:40
yeah but that's I have this little league movie coming out called you gotta believe in late August that me and Greg
01:05:47
caner did um so that should be yeah
01:05:53
because I saw did you did you shoot it in Arlington by the way way uh we unfortunately shot it or not
01:05:58
unfortunately but it was set in Fort Worth but you know it was just one of those things where in order to get more
01:06:04
bang for your buck we oh because I thought you shot it in for wor no we we went to uh Canada I I wish we had shot
01:06:12
really because it looked they did a good job yeah I'm sure they got some exterior Fort wor shots but um yeah it's it's a
01:06:19
good little story and it's funny and I mean I know you guys have worked with kids before but but it's one of those
01:06:24
things where it was kind of funny just being around these kids all day and then their parents where um yeah we Canary
01:06:32
and I had fun working with them I had to kind of yell at them a couple times you guys need a focus oh yeah for sure for
01:06:40
sure but this is a new wave of kids too it's like yeah like kids when we were
01:06:45
kids and you're like this isn't anything like the probably the kids we used to hang out with that little league oh gosh
01:06:50
no kind of like Bad News Bears you know meets The Warriors when we were growing
01:06:56
up the Warriors oh I love both those movies my God but it's based on a true story and
01:07:03
it's the longest Little League World Series in history and stuff happens and
01:07:09
yeah it's this it's this team that kind of came this rag tag team that came out
01:07:15
of nowhere from Fort Worth and just kind of kept winning and got all the way to the Little League World Series and had
01:07:22
these two coaches um one of whom the guy I I play that um was kind of got ill and wasn't
01:07:29
able to coach the team so then Ker's character kind of takes the team over
01:07:35
but yeah it's it's it's really it's a really good reluctantly takes it over yeah yeah and Canary and I had had a fun
01:07:42
working together because we're we're friends and uh play a lot of golf together and it's yeah it's nothing like
01:07:48
you guys know there's nothing more fun than making a movie with friends and gosh that's the thing that like um so
01:07:54
great about what Sandler does is you know putting those groups and you get to do that with him oh you were in the
01:08:00
ridiculous syst yeah I mean that's where I got to see the whole how the operation works and it just I mean just seems like
01:08:07
heaven um just getting to be around your friends having a like manageable
01:08:12
schedule and you know just you know Adam really sets the tone and and those guys
01:08:18
I just saw Adam and those guys are getting ready to go do uh Happy Gilmore
01:08:23
too so just getting ready to go have some fun again and then and get to make
01:08:29
make something that people will I mean Happy Gilmore will be a good one I mean that's something looking for I think
01:08:35
that's a great idea and Sandler does kind of he he o he's the overriding force in the film yeah you know kind and
01:08:42
so what he says goes he has all his pieces in place works with a lot of the same people so yeah it's all about
01:08:48
having fun and he knows what it's like oh yeah you're you're take in front of the camera you know yeah you just gotta
01:08:54
go in there you you doing I'm sorry David give me a Sandler you gotta go in
01:09:01
there I remember from the ridiculous six we it was a comedic Western but Frank
01:09:06
Karachi Sandler's friend was directing it and Sandler would always imitate
01:09:11
Frank and Frank was great with comedy and really fun to work with but at one
01:09:17
point he was saying uh so then you know you guys come out of the salon and then
01:09:22
you you go over to the uh to the to the to the cart and you jump in the cart and
01:09:29
Adam was like it's a wagon it's a [ __ ]
01:09:35
wag but just being out in the middle of nowhere in the desert of New Mexico and
01:09:41
having these two guys like Adam from New Hampshire I'm not sure where Frank's from like
01:09:48
yeah yeah my stuff was with Blake Shelton and vanilla right because I
01:09:53
remember that house you guys St yeah yeah we shot in a house we did like a card game we know this game and there's
01:09:59
six people around it takes a full day to shoot or two days to shoot one scene and yeah what it was blast were you Mark
01:10:07
Twain I don't think so I was Colonel oh no Vanilla Ice was Mark TW okay yeah of
01:10:15
course I'm sure he's played Mark Twain in many Vanilla Ice was really good in that scene I me he was no we had a blast
01:10:24
[Music] uh all right oh yeah um Luke we'll have to play golf again one day because uh we
01:10:29
played one time and I kind of was a puss Dana it was super hot like it was yesterday and then did you just go nine
01:10:36
Luke took me nine I was my buddy Jody and then I said I told him I got a bad
01:10:42
neck I can do a lot nine yeah yeah yeah we get to nine he goes you're not [ __ ] going anywhere and so he drove
01:10:47
through that little tunnel you didn't let me get out and then here we are plan 18 sweating uh sickeningly but I am I
01:10:55
think I'm better I think I'm about a half a percent better than I was I might I'm getting worse and worse as I'm
01:11:01
getting older but it is nice to get out there and be outside no it's definitely fun I want to look like you get outside
01:11:06
only way to enjoy it is just assume you're terrible yeah and don't then you don't take it seriously and usually if
01:11:12
on you get one good shot per hole that's decent either your chip or putt or
01:11:18
something I keep you coming back but I look at people taking it my brother would throw Tantrums I he did a Tommy
01:11:24
Hawk with putter on the green like what the [ __ ] and I goes I go Scott you're
01:11:30
terrible and and so am I I mean we're all awful yeah it's hard not to get mad
01:11:36
it is I remember a story Pete SAS told me about seeing Jack Jack Nicholson at
01:11:42
the golf course and said hey Jack how you doing jack was like good good I uh
01:11:48
boy I can't I came close today to giving up the game and he was
01:11:54
like Nicholson said yeah I told myself if I ever broke 70 that if I ever broke
01:12:00
70 that's it and I was right there I was going to shoot a 69 and I I three put it
01:12:05
so I get to keep playing and people was like you shot a 70 check that's great Jack like yeah shot Seven um On a par
01:12:16
nine no no one plays nine but me Dana it's it's 18 my older brother tried with
01:12:21
a with a nine tried to get over a little Pond and we're we've all hit 10 cup and
01:12:27
he's got a nine iron he 13 times he would he would do if you stood behind
01:12:33
him sometimes he'd hit the edge of the ball and it would whiff over your head he was literally a danger to other players he didn't he tried 13 times and
01:12:41
didn't get it over and he never golfed again that was it he walked off wasn't even mad just like that's it I'm not
01:12:48
then he would just caddy he would just caddy for us I'm done no more I'm done thank you Luke hey
