>> The new season of Scrubs, new Wednesdays
00:00:16

00:00:20
>> To be honest, there was a real thing in
00:00:22
Seattle where ambition was kind of
00:00:25
looked down upon, you know.
00:00:27
>> I I could see that. But the one at 10, I
00:00:30
was pretty hammered.
00:00:32
You know, that was a surprise. Well,
00:00:35
they sent me the script. Dana, we were
00:00:38
gonna We were going to
00:00:39
>> Yeah. For a moment,
00:00:40
>> I was excited for SNL.
00:00:42
>> I couldn't even believe you were even
00:00:44
possibly going to do that with me. I was
00:00:48
>> And then next thing you know, they had
00:00:49
me dressed up as a pirate.
00:00:51
>> Oh, that's right.
00:00:52
>> They didn't really agree to that.
00:00:55
>> Edward Veter. You know him as Eddie
00:00:57
Veter. I know him as Ed.
00:01:00
>> Mhm.
00:01:00
>> Very good friend.
00:01:02
>> Singer songwriter. Was one of the
00:01:05
original the Pearl Jam.
00:01:08
>> Pearl Jam. Everybody Everybody knows
00:01:09
>> Pearl Jam. One of the iconic bands out
00:01:13
of Seattle in the 90s. And so we got to
00:01:15
talk to Eddie Veter, which was really,
00:01:17
really interesting.
00:01:18
>> He's got a documentary out about EB,
00:01:21
which is a skin condition, which is
00:01:24
quite a rough ride.
00:01:26
and he has spent 15 years along with his
00:01:28
wife battling this disease with benefits
00:01:31
that you and I have done to raise money
00:01:34
for research and they're making
00:01:36
>> scientists got everyone on board.
00:01:38
Everyone on deck got
00:01:39
>> on a lighter note when I was on SNL I
00:01:42
remember
00:01:43
that I did a joke where I go Stone
00:01:46
Temple Pilots have a new album. I like
00:01:48
these guys the first time I saw them
00:01:50
when they were called Pearl Jam. It was
00:01:52
one of those.
00:01:53
>> Oh, really? So as if it was a total
00:01:55
ripoff.
00:01:56
>> Yeah. And then cuz he's like I feel
00:02:00
ready to go
00:02:03
raining in your bedroom and I see. So So
00:02:07
then Stone Temple came on about four
00:02:09
months later and then Marcy Klein comes
00:02:11
up. She goes, "David Stone Temple wants
00:02:13
you to come down rehearsal." And I go,
00:02:15
"Oh." And then she goes, "Actually,
00:02:17
wait, don't go. They the guy wants to
00:02:18
kick the [ __ ] out of you." And I go,
00:02:20
"Oh,
00:02:21
>> oh, because okay, that's hit too close
00:02:24
for home. A joke saying you're kind of
00:02:26
like this band." That's Oh, that's
00:02:28
>> bands don't want to hear that. Although
00:02:30
Eddie Veter um has he's got the voice.
00:02:34
He's got a voice that's instantly with
00:02:36
its phrasing and his tenor is instantly
00:02:38
recognizable.
00:02:39
>> Yes. I take him through the top rock
00:02:41
voices of all time. And uh I told him, I
00:02:44
said, "I can't promise you're on it.
00:02:46
It's whatever my list is. My list. Don't
00:02:48
get me wrong." That was a tense moment
00:02:49
in the interview
00:02:50
>> and uh but Scott Wyland actually just to
00:02:53
say as a caveat
00:02:55
that did happen but I did run into him
00:02:58
years later because I do like Stone
00:02:59
Temple Pilots. Most of the people made
00:03:01
fun of him. Great. And so he was uh
00:03:04
changed his tune was very cool.
00:03:06
>> Very cool.
00:03:07
You know, you it's harder to explain
00:03:09
that
00:03:11
in that particular joke
00:03:13
the triple name there's an official, you
00:03:17
know, like your Pearl Jam, Stone Temple
00:03:19
Pilots. There was probably a reason that
00:03:21
you picked that band because you could
00:03:23
have picked
00:03:24
>> Creed or, you know, whatever.
00:03:27
>> You would have picked Helen Ready
00:03:28
>> with eyes wide open.
00:03:34
>> They're great. That's
00:03:34
>> But anyway, back to Eddie Veter. Oh,
00:03:36
right. We Eddie Veter is our guest.
00:03:38
>> Lot of fun. We crack up um
00:03:42
>> thoughtful and interesting interview.
00:03:44
And we do laugh
00:03:45
>> and for those deep dive fly on the wall
00:03:47
frequent flyers, we do
00:03:49
>> Yeah.
00:03:50
>> Gervitz because he knows Gervitz. So,
00:03:52
look for that.
00:03:54
>> He's Mark Gervitz's very good friend and
00:03:56
he's our manager. And so, we always do
00:03:58
this.
00:03:59
>> Well, David really started it.
00:04:01
>> Make fun of Mark.
00:04:03
>> It doesn't really sound like him, but
00:04:04
it's it's funny. It's a It's a
00:04:06
frequency. It's an exaggeration.
00:04:08
>> It's funnier the way we do it than the
00:04:09
real life.
00:04:11
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's I love
00:04:12
impressions that go to an abstraction.
00:04:14
>> All right. Here's our boy.
00:04:15
>> Got to do it.
00:04:18
>> Thanks for coming on.
00:04:21
>> What you want to talk about?
00:04:23
>> Hi, Eddie.
00:04:24
>> Can you hear us?
00:04:25
>> Hey, David. I can hear you. Great.
00:04:27
>> Good. Good.
00:04:29
>> You know, Eddie, I have a cool hat like
00:04:31
that, too.
00:04:32
>> We've traded hats before.
00:04:35
Are you sure?
00:04:36
>> Yeah.
00:04:39
>> There it is. We still got it.
00:04:42
>> Wow.
00:04:42
>> It's a little It's a little sweaty cuz
00:04:45
as you can see cuz I'm a bit of a rocker
00:04:47
and sometimes I sweat when I'm working.
00:04:48
>> We're kind of rockers too in a way. I
00:04:50
mean, not in the way you are, but you
00:04:53
know.
00:04:54
>> Oh, I would say absolutely you are.
00:04:56
>> No. No. Nope. were never were I guess
00:05:01
that's the pinnacle in a way as a little
00:05:03
kid of just in a band. I mean I was in a
00:05:07
band with my brother you know I had a
00:05:10
hardy boy book as a snare and a kick
00:05:12
drum was a basket and you had a one
00:05:14
string guitar. We all start out that way
00:05:17
and then at some point we go um maybe
00:05:20
not my
00:05:21
>> when the money's not flowing
00:05:22
>> when the money's no I got out of that in
00:05:24
high school but what about like what do
00:05:26
you want to talk about? Would you like
00:05:27
to talk about your Netflix special
00:05:29
first? You could do you can run this
00:05:30
show any way you want.
00:05:32
>> Yeah.
00:05:32
>> And then we'll um
00:05:35
>> Well, you know what I mean? The as
00:05:37
heartbreaking as the the EB uh subject
00:05:41
can be um though also hopeful.
00:05:46
>> Uh another heartbreaking thing that that
00:05:48
has been on my mind
00:05:51
uh was the loss of Katherine O'Hara. And
00:05:54
I just wanted to
00:05:56
>> look I'm chills already. I'm uh
00:06:00
>> you know really only having met her five
00:06:03
different times over the years.
00:06:05
>> Mhm. you know, and and compared to the
00:06:08
way you know her, um,
00:06:12
you know, I even I was just absolutely
00:06:17
gutted and and I just I wished all the
00:06:20
people that had never had the chance to
00:06:23
to be in her presence and to have a
00:06:26
laugh. And
00:06:28
she was she was everything and more that
00:06:31
you'd expect or dream of her being. She
00:06:35
was just such a incredible energy and
00:06:37
and that loss is is so profound and and
00:06:41
that's why that's been on my mind
00:06:46
>> for sure. Yeah. Over here too with me
00:06:48
and Dana.
00:06:49
>> Yeah.
00:06:50
>> Dana spent more time with her than I
00:06:51
did. But man, you can't find anyone that
00:06:54
doesn't love Katherine out there.
00:06:56
>> Yeah. And just an effortless, brilliant
00:06:59
performer. Always making the choice you
00:07:02
don't expect. making her peers laugh and
00:07:04
the whole world laugh and her presence
00:07:08
just no apparent ego or whatever you
00:07:11
call that. I mean, she knew who she was,
00:07:13
but it's just I don't know if it's
00:07:15
Canadian or what there's John Candy and
00:07:18
others. They're just sort of extra extra
00:07:21
>> um and um
00:07:24
so
00:07:25
>> Marty as well.
00:07:27
>> Marty Short. Yeah, another
00:07:29
>> Yeah, I home for I guess it's okay to
00:07:32
say memorial at the Catholic church this
00:07:36
past weekend
00:07:37
>> and it was really really uh emotional
00:07:40
and Marty gave the eulogy and he was um
00:07:44
special.
00:07:45
>> Yeah.
00:07:46
>> Funny and and and
00:07:48
>> yeah, they always got to make some jokes
00:07:49
in because it's so heavy. It's so hard
00:07:52
>> because you would want it that way. I
00:07:53
mean, they, you know, comedians kind of,
00:07:57
you know, want the the music to carry on
00:08:00
really. Of course, we're all sad, but we
00:08:02
have all this stuff of her brilliance to
00:08:06
share for a long time, forever.
00:08:10
>> I I heard her sister was uh in
00:08:13
attendance obviously, but um Mary
00:08:15
Margaret
00:08:16
>> Yeah.
00:08:17
>> Uh who's put out some great music that
00:08:20
um affected me deeply. Oh, really?
00:08:24
>> Yeah. She had a great album. Probably
00:08:27
even in the late 80s, I think Michael
00:08:29
Stipe helped with it. Um, it was called
00:08:31
Miss America.
00:08:34
Um,
00:08:35
yeah, there's a If you watch David
00:08:37
Sanborn used to have a show, was it? Uh,
00:08:41
>> David Sanborn. Yeah. Yeah, I remember
00:08:43
that show.
00:08:43
>> Late Show and he'd get all these
00:08:45
interesting musicians together and she
00:08:48
um I think the song's called When You
00:08:50
Know. But if you look up her on on that
00:08:53
show, it's such a such a cool
00:08:56
performance and you can see the
00:08:59
sisterhood
00:09:01
there.
00:09:01
>> It is. It's kind of interesting. We have
00:09:03
this in our world too because I was
00:09:05
looking up some of, you know, the the
00:09:08
bands of the 90s in Seattle and all that
00:09:10
and and just I was just going to say and
00:09:12
then it had a list of like 50 other what
00:09:15
they were calling grunge which I want to
00:09:17
ask you about the the names of rock over
00:09:19
the years, you know, punk and grunch and
00:09:21
you hard rock, alternative rock, you
00:09:24
know, soft rock.
00:09:25
>> So, you must have known and know so many
00:09:27
bands that didn't break through quote
00:09:29
unquote. And maybe that wasn't even
00:09:30
their goal. I mean, the goal for me was
00:09:32
always that this would be my job and
00:09:35
I'll see how it goes, but that was the
00:09:37
dream.
00:09:39
What about you?
00:09:42
>> Well, oh, and before I forget, Night
00:09:44
Music was the name of the David
00:09:46
>> David Samborg Night Music. Wherever you
00:09:48
get your David Samborg
00:09:51
night music, variety shows.
00:09:56
Well, you know, I kind of my main after
00:09:59
I graduated from things like Jackson 5
00:10:01
and Mottown when I was a kid and then I
00:10:04
had kind of some older brothers um
00:10:08
because I was in a a group home thing
00:10:11
that my parents helped run.
00:10:13
>> So then I was turned on to a lot of Sly
00:10:16
family stone and James Brown and kind of
00:10:18
more adult
00:10:20
uh Mottown music and stacks and all
00:10:23
that. And then
00:10:26
and then there was, you know, kind of
00:10:28
Beatles, but then it became The Who and
00:10:30
the Kinks and
00:10:33
>> to The Jam and so so the but the 60s
00:10:37
British stuff
00:10:40
um and Stones, etc. You know, that
00:10:43
seemed like the most exciting time to be
00:10:46
alive. you know, when I was 15,
00:10:48
listening to uh enveloped and engrossed
00:10:51
in
00:10:53
all that British invasion stuff, um it
00:10:57
seemed like Tuesday nights at the
00:10:58
Marquee for The Who and you know, all
00:11:01
those bands getting together or Hrix
00:11:03
showing up and blowing everybody's
00:11:06
minds. Yeah,
00:11:08
>> that seemed like the coolest time to be
00:11:11
alive and and you would read about it
00:11:12
and
00:11:13
>> and think if I what it would have been
00:11:16
like to, you know, I was born too late,
00:11:18
you know, if you could have and and then
00:11:20
in the wrong place
00:11:22
>> if you wanted to be part of what was
00:11:24
kind of
00:11:26
one of the most, if not the most
00:11:28
extraordinary periods of music. And then
00:11:32
kind of waking up one day, I I I
00:11:35
remember almost to the day
00:11:38
waking up and looking around and and all
00:11:40
of a sudden being part of a a
00:11:45
uh scene, a a legitimate
00:11:49
scene that
00:11:51
was a community and was all very
00:11:54
supportive of each other. And so of all
00:11:57
the bands of note, you know, Sound
00:11:58
Garden and Alice and Chains, and then
00:12:01
first there was Mother Love Bone, which
00:12:03
turned into Pearl Jam, but was Green
00:12:05
River before that. And then Green River,
00:12:07
half of it turned into Mudhoney.
00:12:09
>> Mud Honey. Yeah.
00:12:10
>> It's like the Fastbacks and
00:12:14
uh the human and you know, these groups
00:12:18
that
00:12:18
>> didn't quite
00:12:21
>> uh
00:12:21
>> different levels.
00:12:23
>> Yeah. Well, and I and I Dana, you
00:12:25
mentioned it. You know, maybe they that
00:12:28
wasn't part of either their goal or
00:12:32
their ambition.
00:12:34
Uh because to be honest, there was a
00:12:37
real thing in Seattle where ambition was
00:12:40
kind of looked down upon, you know.
00:12:43
>> I I could see that that's what the vibe
00:12:45
was from afar. Like we're not trying to
00:12:48
be cool or commercial. We got something
00:12:50
to say. It's actually hurts us the
00:12:52
bigger we get. I mean, it you guys took
00:12:55
off. It seemed so fast. It probably was
00:12:57
not as
00:12:58
>> I don't know if anyone had a bigger
00:12:59
first album. I mean, it's like sort of
00:13:01
like
00:13:03
just
00:13:04
>> Was 91 that out? Because there was I
00:13:06
looked up in ' 91 some monster albums
00:13:11
came out in one year and I think you
00:13:12
probably heard this, but it was like
00:13:14
Nirvana, Pearl Jam, um I think it was
00:13:18
maybe Metallica, Van Halen, Guns and
00:13:22
Roses, Use Your Illusion. I was like
00:13:24
shocked by how many bangers in a row in
00:13:27
an eight-month period came out. And uh
00:13:30
we tried to slurp them all over to SNL.
00:13:32
We didn't didn't get everybody. But one
00:13:35
of my early shows was you.
00:13:36
>> We got Pearl.
00:13:37
>> Sharon Stone show.
00:13:38
>> Yeah.
00:13:40
>> Sharon Stone. Phil was alive. Phil
00:13:42
Hartman.
00:13:43
>> Oh yeah.
00:13:44
>> Uh I still have
00:13:45
>> You had a good You had a good pocket
00:13:47
there when you got on.
00:13:49
>> Yeah.
00:13:50
>> All right. Go ahead. You have something
00:13:50
with Phil? You got a photo? uh Polaroid
00:13:54
uh was Love It and Phil
00:13:58
sitting at the end of the night and um I
00:14:02
came across those recently and and it
00:14:05
was powerful to see and you know not
00:14:08
only having
00:14:10
been like a devote of the show since
00:14:15
staying up
00:14:16
>> late when I was 12 or whatever it was.
00:14:19
Um,
00:14:21
it was uh just such a formidable
00:14:26
uh yet completely enjoyable experience
00:14:29
to actually,
00:14:31
you know, uh be in those those hollowed
00:14:34
halls. And I still remember making
00:14:35
friends with a couple of the old dudes,
00:14:39
you know, the crew guys or the guy who
00:14:40
sits silver chair with the
00:14:43
>> Saturday Night Live kind of
00:14:44
calligraphied on the back. And
00:14:46
>> yeah.
00:14:47
>> Yeah.
00:14:48
>> Um, you know, going back and seeing
00:14:50
those people uh over the years was
00:14:53
always uh real exciting, you know, or
00:14:56
getting to meet Don Partardo or you
00:14:58
know, all that stuff is
00:15:04
>> you came once.
00:15:05
>> You came on twice and I saw in my deep
00:15:08
research even though I know you a little
00:15:10
bit, but um I think the second time you
00:15:12
came on you got three songs. That is so
00:15:14
rare. Is that true? Cuz I think you had
00:15:17
maybe Betterman or daughter something.
00:15:19
You you had three
00:15:21
>> and the first time it was alive and
00:15:24
something else and I thought, "Holy
00:15:26
[ __ ] look at this spoiled dude." You
00:15:27
had three they roll in with.
00:15:30
>> I forgot about that. Yeah.
00:15:31
>> Yeah. It's a big deal. It was to us. We
00:15:33
were like, "Shit, man."
00:15:34
>> I don't think they told us until after
00:15:37
the first
00:15:38
rehearsal show, right? So, you do a a
00:15:41
first show at 6 or something.
00:15:43
>> Yeah. dresser. So yeah,
00:15:45
>> in between they said,
00:15:47
>> "Oh,
00:15:48
>> do you want to do one more?" So
00:15:50
>> got anything else.
00:15:52
>> What that means is um one or two of the
00:15:57
the skits or whatever. What?
00:15:59
>> Yeah, Gap Girls got cut for you. Thank
00:16:01
you.
00:16:01
>> So I I don't think it was based on what
00:16:05
we were offering. I think it was the l
00:16:08
the lack of uh good response.
00:16:15
>> Yeah, we bombed
00:16:16
>> Nor doing news at that point. Was it
00:16:19
Norm?
00:16:20
>> Was Norm doing the news? It's a good
00:16:22
question because it was 91 and 93. It
00:16:23
was probably
00:16:24
>> was Kevin Nean and then Norm.
00:16:26
>> Oh, it might have been Kevin.
00:16:27
>> Yeah, might have been the end of Dennis
00:16:29
on the first one because 91 that was
00:16:32
probably my first year.
00:16:33
>> Yeah. And daddy and I are very close to
00:16:36
the same age. We won't say any numbers
00:16:37
out there, but
00:16:38
>> yeah,
00:16:39
>> you had you had a birthday recently and
00:16:40
I was like, "Okay,
00:16:42
>> I'm a I'm a half step up."
00:16:44
>> I was It was fun.
00:16:46
>> I'm a half step up. So, when I heard the
00:16:48
90s sound come in and from Seattle,
00:16:51
let's say it did feel like something
00:16:53
new, a its own little mini renaissance.
00:16:55
It It was different. You know, there
00:16:57
were hair bands in the 80s and stuff.
00:17:00
There was I don't know. It was a a
00:17:02
different sound which I appreciated a
00:17:04
lot. I just love hard rock. I love
00:17:07
>> whatever you guys were doing. I mean,
00:17:09
but
00:17:09
>> Poison out of business.
00:17:11
>> Poison. Well, what we don't want to pick
00:17:13
on those bands, but you know what? It
00:17:15
was sort of a shift.
00:17:17
>> It was a It was a shift. It was very
00:17:19
cool.
00:17:21
>> The Emmy winning comedy Scrubs is back
00:17:23
to ABC with a fresh pulse. It's been 15
00:17:26
years since we've checked in with the
00:17:27
gang at Sacred Heart Hospital. The
00:17:29
beloved original cast, Zack Braph,
00:17:32
Donald Faison, and Sarah Chock. Scrub
00:17:34
back in. Older and maybe wiser. Judy
00:17:38
Reyes, John C. McInley also reprised
00:17:40
their iconic roles. And Scrub fans,
00:17:42
you'll be thrilled to see some of your
00:17:43
fan favorite characters pop up, though
00:17:46
we can't reveal any names just yet.
00:17:48
After creating hits like Ted Lasso and
00:17:50
Shrinking, executive producer Bill
00:17:52
Lawrence has put together a diverse,
00:17:54
talented group of writers to bring to
00:17:56
life the Scrubs universe of today. And
00:17:58
there's a healthy injection of super
00:18:00
funny, colorful new characters,
00:18:02
including a fresh group of newbie
00:18:03
interns and co-workers/
00:18:06
nemesises like Vanessa Bayer and Joel
00:18:08
Kim Booster. The new season of Scrubs,
00:18:10
new Wednesdays at 87 central on ABC and
00:18:14
stream on Hulu. You know, every year,
00:18:17
David, I think we can unequivocally say
00:18:20
this, we make resolutions that somehow
00:18:23
never stick. But this year, I've found
00:18:27
the one resolution that actually works.
00:18:31
>> Grunes is the simple daily habit that
00:18:34
succeeds where extreme resolutions fail,
00:18:37
delivering real benefits with minimal
00:18:39
effort. If you haven't heard me talk
00:18:41
about groans before, they're a
00:18:43
convenient, comprehensive formula packed
00:18:45
into a daily snack pack of gummies. This
00:18:49
isn't just a multivitamin, a greens
00:18:51
gummy, or prebiotic. It's all those
00:18:53
things and then some at a fraction of
00:18:55
the price.
00:18:57
>> Plus, uh I don't know if you know this
00:18:59
bonus. It takes amazing. Each pack is
00:19:03
vegan, nut-ree, gluten-free, dairyf
00:19:05
free, and free from artificial colors
00:19:07
and flavors with over 20 vitamins and
00:19:09
minerals. 60 ingredients, including
00:19:12
nutrient-dense and whole food
00:19:14
ingredients, and six grams of prebiotic
00:19:17
fiber. That's more fiber than two cups
00:19:19
of broccoli.
00:19:20
>> Grun does the heavy lifting. while it
00:19:22
feels like doing the least.
00:19:25
>> There's even Grun's kids with, get this,
00:19:29
21 plus essential vitamins and 60 plus
00:19:33
ingredients, including nutrientdense
00:19:36
and whole foods to support immunity and
00:19:38
development.

00:19:50
There's only two things I wanted to ask
00:19:52
you very quickly just about because I I
00:19:54
heard about the Who and Neil Young. You
00:19:56
maybe like them, but I thought of Roger
00:19:59
Daltry and you and I I did connect the
00:20:02
dots between there's some symmetry there
00:20:06
with a big voice and also can go really
00:20:08
soft. So, who's next? The the aside is
00:20:12
maybe as good as anything that's ever
00:20:14
been recorded in my mind. And then Neil
00:20:16
Young was maybe the father of Grunge
00:20:20
with Rust Never Sleeps. Um or Hey my my
00:20:26
electric,
00:20:28
you know.
00:20:29
>> So I heard you love those two things. So
00:20:31
I just wanted to cosign that.
00:20:33
>> Well, yeah. I think Neil has been given
00:20:35
the moniker of Godfather of Grunge. Not
00:20:39
just because of the flannel, but because
00:20:41
of the sound.
00:20:43
>> Yeah. Um, and his sound up close.
00:20:47
>> You know, one of the very fortunate
00:20:49
things, uh, having worked with him and
00:20:51
playing live is
00:20:54
>> the sound of his amp,
00:20:58
uh, up close. Um, it's like standing
00:21:02
next to an erupting volcano,
00:21:05
>> for sure.
00:21:06
>> Or the biggest wave at Yamea Bay
00:21:08
crashing under the shore. It's and then
00:21:11
and then he seems to kind of lose
00:21:13
himself
00:21:15
in this way
00:21:17
where he kind of starts shapeshifting
00:21:20
and kind of turns into like a shaman and
00:21:22
then
00:21:23
>> then he seems like he's an old Indian
00:21:25
and and and then he turns into like a
00:21:27
young kid and and you're like in the
00:21:31
cage with the lion. Um
00:21:36
it's it's
00:21:37
>> Yeah. uh it will vibrate your souls uh
00:21:40
your cells.
00:21:41
>> It it's unique because he he looks like
00:21:44
he's almost struggling or sort of
00:21:46
[ __ ] in a way when he gets into that
00:21:48
trance and then when I listened to his
00:21:51
solo on Cortez the Killer which I got to
00:21:54
hang out with him a few times and told
00:21:55
him what it meant to me how that song
00:21:58
first of all it's like and then his solo
00:22:01
in that and no one plays like Neil.
00:22:04
There's others equally brilliant, but he
00:22:06
has his own lane and it's this magic,
00:22:08
you know, magic.
00:22:10
>> Yeah. He he channels, you know, he
00:22:13
really channels and and
00:22:16
>> in order to do that, you have to be in
00:22:18
tune to
00:22:20
you know, the energy, the, you know,
00:22:23
whatever's out there. Um, and that's a
00:22:28
that's a skill in itself, you know,
00:22:30
beyond,
00:22:32
you know, the notes seem to come not
00:22:33
from a scale. They seem to come from a
00:22:38
>> Yeah.
00:22:38
>> divine
00:22:40
>> to stay a child or be in touch with that
00:22:43
when your higher consciousness hadn't
00:22:45
kicked in and you're just being playful
00:22:47
>> like a four-year-old drawing and yet
00:22:49
you're a human adult. And then when you
00:22:53
get in touch with that that part of you,
00:22:55
boy, it's a lot of a creative explosion.
00:22:57
But Neil always felt like he he was
00:22:59
there somehow. It's like a a child up
00:23:02
there in a way in the purest form.
00:23:05
>> Well, the way you just explained it, I I
00:23:08
think of some of the stuff we watch you
00:23:11
guys do. you know, there's still that
00:23:14
playful and improvisational,
00:23:18
you know, that's you could say it's from
00:23:21
doing a lot of reps,
00:23:24
>> but it's also I think it comes from
00:23:28
uh you know the being
00:23:31
still having maintained
00:23:34
that freedom and flexibility.
00:23:36
>> Sure. of, you know, because then that's
00:23:40
what becomes,
00:23:42
you know, so funny and and so spot-on or
00:23:46
or so quick.
00:23:49
>> Yeah. You can I think like music and
00:23:52
standup
00:23:53
as as you know, it's probably similar in
00:23:55
the way that I could do a show and in
00:23:58
three nights, same theater, and then
00:24:00
they're all just a hair different and no
00:24:03
one would really notice. But I can tell
00:24:05
this crowd is a little like this. I was
00:24:06
more like this. I kind of adapted to
00:24:08
that. And it's funny how they can be a
00:24:10
little different every night. And maybe
00:24:13
it's not as noticeable to people, but
00:24:15
maybe it is. But I think that's what
00:24:17
music is. It's still the same set. I'm
00:24:19
still doing what I'm doing. Like you're
00:24:20
going to do the same set list, let's
00:24:22
say. But you can tell some nights are a
00:24:24
little different and you're just you're
00:24:26
rolling with something a little harder.
00:24:27
You're getting into something a little
00:24:28
different that you have before. And
00:24:31
that's kind of the fun of it. And it's
00:24:32
not just a rubber stamping. It's it's it
00:24:35
can be it can go almost anywhere.
00:24:38
>> And do you get nervous
00:24:40
>> before you play?
00:24:42
>> Yeah,
00:24:42
>> I still do. Dana doesn't get as nervous,
00:24:45
but
00:24:46
>> Well,
00:24:48
uh when you're dancing for your donuts,
00:24:50
like you're auditioning for Lauren
00:24:52
Michaels and and you're 30 years old,
00:24:54
that's a different kind of nervousness.
00:24:57
But now I do feel responsibility for
00:25:01
to I as comedians, we're supposed to
00:25:04
kill quote unquote. We're supposed to
00:25:06
destroy. We're supposed to levitate the
00:25:09
room. This is
00:25:10
>> slay.
00:25:11
>> And I think that Yeah. I don't know if
00:25:13
you have this, but you if a night's a
00:25:15
little bit off, the voice in the back of
00:25:16
your head is is still giving yourself
00:25:18
notes a little bit while you're singing,
00:25:21
while you're playing,
00:25:22
>> you're doing pretty good. You're doing
00:25:23
pretty good. That's not going well. When
00:25:25
that goes dead quiet,
00:25:27
>> then you're in the zone
00:25:29
>> and nothing matters except expressing
00:25:33
the rhythm of the words that you want to
00:25:34
do in that moment. Or if it's
00:25:36
non-verbal, which is even better.
00:25:38
>> And yeah, you want to get to that
00:25:39
playful state and you don't always get
00:25:41
to it. That's why when it happens, have
00:25:43
you had a moment like that in the studio
00:25:46
or a live recording where you just went
00:25:49
to another place and then you listen
00:25:50
yourself back and you go, man, I was
00:25:52
they call it being in the zone, you
00:25:54
know, just it's fun.
00:25:57
>> Yeah, there was there was a a vocal on
00:26:00
the last uh not the last record, it was
00:26:02
a solo record called Earthling, but um
00:26:05
>> Yes. 2022 Andrew Wyatt, Ringo, Elton
00:26:08
John, and Stevie Wonder.
00:26:09
>> Andrew Yeah. Andrew Wyatt, he records
00:26:13
every album.
00:26:14
>> Chad Smith and
00:26:16
>> Chad.
00:26:17
>> Jesus.
00:26:18
>> But it was funny. I found out later
00:26:20
there was uh one of the vocals, it was
00:26:22
put together of two vocals and one was
00:26:25
at about 5 in the afternoon or evening
00:26:30
and then the other one was at 10. Once
00:26:32
we got it put together.
00:26:34
>> Mhm. You can't tell the difference,
00:26:37
but the one at 10, I was pretty
00:26:40
hammered,
00:26:41
you know, listen.
00:26:44
>> Well, yeah, we get that.
00:26:47
>> And um it was kind of amazing to and and
00:26:50
I was
00:26:52
in a different form of being in the
00:26:54
zone, you know, I was just feeling it
00:26:57
and and by that time the words and the
00:26:59
phrasing had come together. Um, but I
00:27:02
was just uh so I remember that or I
00:27:07
remember not remembering that.
00:27:10
>> Yeah, that's good.
00:27:11
>> And then hearing it back, I thought,
00:27:13
wow, that's that's pretty cool. And
00:27:15
didn't realize that the vocal that they
00:27:19
had been five hours apart, but they they
00:27:21
actually sounded
00:27:22
>> Did you tell the difference in listening
00:27:24
to it?
00:27:24
>> No, I couldn't. I I I was surprised to
00:27:27
hear
00:27:29
>> that it was the
00:27:30
>> second, you know, listening to your
00:27:31
speaking voice. It's kind of uh your
00:27:35
singing voice. I I wonder when the first
00:27:37
time you went, "Holy [ __ ] I can sing
00:27:39
like because it it is a voice. You're
00:27:42
one of the voices."
00:27:43
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:44
>> You know, it must happen.
00:27:45
>> It hasn't happened yet.
00:27:47
>> That's also good. We all think
00:27:49
everything is
00:27:50
>> still blossoming.
00:27:51
>> This is This is very nice to hear.
00:27:54
I'll take that.
00:27:55
>> I have some more.
00:27:56
>> You're the voice. I mean, you could just
00:27:58
go on a Google and Google your name. Who
00:28:01
are the
00:28:01
>> I was I was guessing top rock voices and
00:28:05
I scribbled some down, but I don't know
00:28:08
if you'll agree, but I was like, mine
00:28:10
are right, so you guys can agree or not.
00:28:12
>> I hope Betty's on the list.
00:28:14
>> I mean, I don't know. We'll see.
00:28:16
>> Start with
00:28:17
>> Tiny Tim.
00:28:19
>> We're going back.
00:28:20
>> And then I got a shot. If you start with
00:28:22
Tiny Tim, I think I might
00:28:24
>> Tiny Tim got mentioned on the podcast.
00:28:27
That is a first.
00:28:28
>> Tiny Tim was the
00:28:30
>> very happy
00:28:30
>> carrot top of his.
00:28:31
>> Yeah.
00:28:32
>> No, I uh I you know what one I know the
00:28:35
ones that get mentioned a lot. I mean
00:28:36
Axel's got a very unique voice. Uh
00:28:38
Robert Plant of course the basics. But
00:28:42
>> Bon Scott, would you give it up for Bon
00:28:44
Scott?
00:28:44
>> Oh yeah, absolutely.
00:28:46
>> Sickening Dana. I love Bon Scott and it
00:28:48
was so hard to replace. AC/DC still
00:28:51
crushed it after, but god dang.
00:28:52
>> Mhm.
00:28:53
>> Bon Scott was so interesting. There's
00:28:55
Bowie, Steve Perry, curveball, but Steve
00:28:58
Perry was the notes that that guy hit.
00:29:01
Yeah.
00:29:03
>> Right.
00:29:03
>> Pretty impressive,
00:29:05
>> Eddie. You agree?
00:29:06
>> Um, even I'm not saying even uh Sting
00:29:10
has a very unique voice.
00:29:11
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, Sting's voice is
00:29:15
>> Sting's voice can cut through the
00:29:16
clouds. Um,
00:29:19
and you know, he he does some early
00:29:22
stuff. Sometimes friends will come over
00:29:23
and I'll I'll play him stuff they have
00:29:25
never heard. Uh, he worked with this
00:29:27
German guy called Eberhard Shoner
00:29:30
>> and he just does some insane stuff with
00:29:33
his it at one point he basically sings
00:29:36
the phone book, meaning an article in a
00:29:38
San Francisco paper or something.
00:29:40
>> Yeah.
00:29:40
>> And what he does with it is
00:29:43
>> so extraordinary. when you look at
00:29:45
>> um not to mention he's incredible bass
00:29:47
player.
00:29:48
>> Yeah, because he's always in the pocket.
00:29:50
He's not outside of it. He's not he's
00:29:52
just it's he's simple for himself. He
00:29:54
says that. But I when I listen to
00:29:58
synchronicity and the police and I hear
00:30:00
Stuart Copelan and I'm going they're
00:30:02
doing reggae, rock, jazz.
00:30:04
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. and just Copelan, you
00:30:07
know, and of course Sting where
00:30:09
>> very casual drummer that was I think he
00:30:11
was there then very I I think I was a
00:30:13
little starruck because I was like oh
00:30:15
[ __ ] is that Stuart Copelan I never see
00:30:17
>> wasn't Ringo and Steuart Copeland there
00:30:19
you told me and I was so jealous at one
00:30:21
of the EV events
00:30:23
>> actually that was my that was uh my
00:30:25
birthday was your birthday
00:30:27
>> last year
00:30:27
>> were they your birthday gift
00:30:31
I'm gonna hang out with Ringo it was
00:30:32
quite peppered with musicians that were
00:30:35
okay. Lots of
00:30:36
>> head turners. But by the way, back to EB
00:30:38
events. I think you know a lot of great
00:30:41
people play these uh events for uh EB,
00:30:44
which you work tirelessly with and it's
00:30:47
such a great event and it and it's such
00:30:49
an important uh
00:30:52
uh you know uh thing to to help and and
00:30:55
and we meet the kids and um they always
00:30:59
the performances are great. The kids are
00:31:00
always so friendly and sweet. they're
00:31:02
having the toughest time out there. Um,
00:31:05
which we can talk about. Um, but some of
00:31:08
those nights I even think, um, I think I
00:31:10
did it once. I think Dana might have
00:31:12
done it. Zack Alfanakis. Uh, always
00:31:15
good. There's always like comedy and
00:31:16
music. I think Chris Cornell maybe one
00:31:18
night uh, in the old days. So, we are
00:31:21
very blessed with those parties, but
00:31:24
they're very, very actually important
00:31:27
events, which ties into this documentary
00:31:29
about EB that Dana and I are watching.
00:31:31
It's very very strong stuff and it's
00:31:34
very pulls at the heartstrings. I will
00:31:36
say that.
00:31:39
>> Well, we're really
00:31:41
feeling fortunate that it was that it's
00:31:44
now out there um on Netflix. I think you
00:31:47
mentioned uh
00:31:48
>> Netflix matter of time. That's all you
00:31:50
have to
00:31:52
>> matter of time.
00:31:54
Yeah, it will serve as a uh education on
00:32:01
you know anybody who asks uh has
00:32:03
curiosity, anybody who asks us about you
00:32:06
know what is epidermalis blossa, what is
00:32:09
this EB um
00:32:12
>> this can forever serve as the answer to
00:32:14
all the questions and you really get to
00:32:18
know not only the kids and their
00:32:21
families and the challenges, but you you
00:32:26
get to meet these,
00:32:29
you know, uh, incredible people working
00:32:34
on this whole community's behalf,
00:32:36
meaning the researchers and the genetic
00:32:38
scientists, genetic researchers.
00:32:40
>> Um,
00:32:43
you know, they they say this thing about
00:32:45
heroes, something like, you know, heroes
00:32:46
aren't made. It's more
00:32:49
uh people faced with um you know
00:32:53
incredible
00:32:55
circumstances or or
00:32:58
>> facing
00:32:59
difficult consequence
00:33:02
um and that is where these heroes are
00:33:06
born and this this film is it's it's
00:33:09
really full of them um because you see
00:33:13
how heroic and courageous these kids
00:33:15
are.
00:33:16
>> Oh my god. You see what the families go
00:33:19
through, what the siblings go through,
00:33:22
>> and and you also see that these,
00:33:28
you know, genetic researchers
00:33:30
going at it day after day with the
00:33:33
funding that's provided to them through
00:33:35
these fundraisers.
00:33:38
It is.
00:33:41
It's such a
00:33:44
I'm so glad you get to know these people
00:33:46
on a personal level because you see it's
00:33:48
not just uh you know people in lab
00:33:50
coats, you know, punching the clock.
00:33:54
This is this is their life's work.
00:33:57
They're they're dreaming about it.
00:33:59
They're coming to work each day thinking
00:34:01
about the new approach. Um trial and
00:34:05
error. They feel so close. you know,
00:34:08
it's a a monogenic condition, meaning
00:34:11
it's just one mutated gene
00:34:14
>> uh in the DNA. They've isolated that
00:34:17
gene. So, now they're just trying to,
00:34:20
you know, be able to fix that. And you
00:34:25
know, the the hope on the horizon is not
00:34:29
only would it that process when they
00:34:32
figured out how to unlock this key,
00:34:35
it would not only, you know, we're on
00:34:37
the forefront,
00:34:39
you know, we're like on the runway
00:34:42
uh at this time of um genetic research,
00:34:46
uh EB in particular. But once that lifts
00:34:49
off, it'll help thousands and thousands
00:34:52
of other uh genetic skin disorders.
00:34:55
>> Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Be
00:34:57
>> because s the half the the kids, first
00:34:59
of all, when I see them, I'd see a lot
00:35:00
of the same ones every year at the event
00:35:02
and um and always upbeat, always cool
00:35:06
kids, always fun, um up for having a
00:35:10
good time. I know they don't get to do
00:35:11
that much fun stuff. Just even some of
00:35:13
the scientists and doctors are saying
00:35:15
when they get stuck they go we have
00:35:18
these breakthroughs then and then when
00:35:19
it's stuck you're just really helping
00:35:22
with the pain. It's not really helping
00:35:25
them. You're just like they have to take
00:35:26
bandages off put them back. It's just
00:35:28
pain and it's just so hard to be a
00:35:29
parent to watch that and I can't
00:35:32
imagine. So you're doing a good thing
00:35:34
and and everyone over there obviously
00:35:36
Jill your wife is working hard and just
00:35:39
to be a part of it and we get to go just
00:35:42
once a year and help or different little
00:35:44
events you have but man I'm telling you
00:35:46
they deserve a break that's for sure.
00:35:49
>> Well and this film is about uh it was
00:35:51
two years ago we um we really wanted to
00:35:55
get the whole community together uh in
00:35:58
Seattle. Uh it was a whole uh day full
00:36:01
of uh symposiums. It was basically an EB
00:36:04
summit with doctors, donors, families.
00:36:09
Um and then the music was just supposed
00:36:12
to be kind of a reason to get together
00:36:14
around the campfire at the end of the
00:36:16
night.
00:36:18
>> And I will say it was it was um it was
00:36:23
difficult.
00:36:25
It just the the songs had more weight
00:36:30
looking out in the crowd and seeing my
00:36:33
friends, the doctors, seeing my friends,
00:36:36
the families and the kids.
00:36:38
>> Um,
00:36:40
it was it was it became very emotional
00:36:44
and they they filmed it really not
00:36:46
thinking, you know, we were just kind of
00:36:48
trying to document it. Mhm.
00:36:50
>> Um but then the more we saw
00:36:53
and then this great filmmaker Matt
00:36:56
Finland who we were working with another
00:36:58
great Canadian
00:37:00
uh he was able to and I can't think of
00:37:04
anybody else who could have done this
00:37:07
really because he had been working with
00:37:10
EB stuff and with us for probably about
00:37:13
5 years at that point but at that point
00:37:16
knowing the sensibilities the families
00:37:18
knowing them personally. And he was able
00:37:20
to kind of ask them to be part of their
00:37:25
lives and and film some things that were
00:37:29
uncomfortable and film
00:37:32
some instances that would take courage
00:37:37
to allow it to be filmed and and it's
00:37:42
really a great test.
00:37:44
>> It's a wakeup call for people to watch
00:37:46
it, you know. So, I think it's necessary
00:37:48
sometimes to say this is really what's
00:37:51
going on here.
00:37:53
>> Yeah. Because I don't, you know, even uh
00:37:55
a few of the folks that came to have
00:37:58
come to the events over the years, the
00:38:00
ones at uh Gervit's house in California,
00:38:04
they
00:38:06
>> they didn't really understand it until
00:38:09
the film. So that kind of reminds you
00:38:13
that there's uh there was a lot of
00:38:17
education that was um that seems to be
00:38:21
welcome now that people are seeing it.
00:38:23
We're we're getting so much good
00:38:24
feedback already.
00:38:27
>> For sure. It's very interesting that
00:38:29
it's one one gene, you know, because I'm
00:38:31
sort of casually know a cardiac
00:38:34
cardiologist PK Shaw at Cedar Sinai and
00:38:37
he's in their research labs and a lot of
00:38:40
times it's like 20 different genes, 30
00:38:42
different genes, but just one gene.
00:38:46
>> Um, I'm very hopeful. I'm hoping that AI
00:38:49
for whatever monstrosity it may bring to
00:38:52
us is also going to go,
00:38:54
>> you know, make these
00:38:56
>> good Yeah.
00:38:56
>> leap forward. And I'm hoping that within
00:38:59
five or 10 years, cancer is pretty much
00:39:02
>> fixed. And I pray that this one is too.
00:39:06
>> Yeah.
00:39:06
>> You know, and many others, scaraderma,
00:39:08
which is an autoimmune disease
00:39:11
primarily, but it reminds me of that
00:39:13
because David and I I went to a few of
00:39:16
those with Bob Saget. Saget. Yeah.
00:39:18
>> And when you see a child, pretty little
00:39:21
girl in a wheelchair and then she has a
00:39:24
pink bow in her hair and you just it's
00:39:26
very it's so I mean I had hard both Bob
00:39:30
Seagan and I God rest his soul. We were
00:39:32
just done after that. We we had to go
00:39:35
out and do comedy but it was just like
00:39:37
>> Yeah.
00:39:37
>> So the the documentary I'm sure is just
00:39:40
completely heart-wrenching. But you
00:39:42
can't ever bang the drum hard enough for
00:39:44
the amount of suffering that happens ad
00:39:46
hoc around the world. You know, these
00:39:48
parents just this just happened. And so
00:39:52
I couldn't respect you more for taking
00:39:54
this on, not for a day or a week.
00:39:57
>> I think it's been 15 years of this
00:40:00
foundation. And so kudos to you. Thank
00:40:03
you.
00:40:05
>> Well, thank it's a good team. It's a
00:40:07
great board. uh we do something called
00:40:09
venture philanthropy
00:40:11
um which is a newer model. So if we fund
00:40:14
research and something happens because
00:40:16
of the research positive
00:40:19
um and for example you talked about pain
00:40:22
earlier David um
00:40:25
you know we've been able to come out
00:40:27
with now three
00:40:30
um FDA approved treatments not cures but
00:40:34
just treatments for the pain for the
00:40:36
wounds.
00:40:37
>> Yeah. Great.
00:40:38
>> Um, it's gene therapy which is a a newer
00:40:42
thing and
00:40:45
you know what you said we might be in
00:40:47
that that perfect you know there is a
00:40:50
wave of technology even going back five
00:40:54
seven years you know computing power
00:40:57
really helped you know uh map the human
00:41:00
genome etc. So, you know, it being a
00:41:04
single single mutation,
00:41:08
um, you know, we're we're lucky in that
00:41:11
way because think of all the variables
00:41:13
with the the 20
00:41:15
>> as you mentioned. Yeah.
00:41:16
>> Um, but this hopefully would be
00:41:20
>> um well, it is the start to
00:41:24
>> um cracking these codes.
00:41:27
>> Yeah. It's it's a hopeful time in
00:41:28
medicine for sure.
00:41:30
>> Yeah.
00:41:30
>> It's we're in a with all this new stuff
00:41:32
>> shift.
00:41:35
>> Well, those those parties at Gervitzes,
00:41:37
the fundraisers are great. Everyone has
00:41:38
a good time and in spite of what's going
00:41:40
on, but we hope the kids come and get a
00:41:43
breather. I know there's a lot of
00:41:44
celebrities. We don't have to name them
00:41:46
all, but there's a lot of people that
00:41:47
really show up and help out and and uh I
00:41:51
think it's fun for everybody.
00:41:52
>> So, people watch the documentary.
00:41:54
Everyone documentary
00:41:57
>> watch the documentary and they'll know
00:41:58
if they want to make a donation. Is it
00:42:01
there or we can also put it in our intro
00:42:03
or talk about it now?
00:42:05
>> You know.
00:42:06
>> Yeah. I'm not sure if the information I
00:42:08
think it's more if you look it up. It's
00:42:09
just it stands as a film on its own. And
00:42:12
um EBRP,
00:42:14
>> excuse me,
00:42:16
>> EBRP
00:42:18
is the name of the organization. And
00:42:20
like I said, we have
00:42:21
>> we've we've been able to streamline the
00:42:23
book, you know, all the
00:42:26
all the things that that u you want in
00:42:29
an organization, including I I will say
00:42:32
these angel donors that come in and just
00:42:35
take care of all the administrative
00:42:36
costs for every year,
00:42:40
>> which means all of these funds that are
00:42:42
raised go direct to research. Um, you
00:42:45
know, we're we have so many reasons to
00:42:47
be proud of this and and now to be able
00:42:50
to be proud of the film. Um,
00:42:54
uh, it's it it feels,
00:42:57
you know, we're making more progress
00:42:59
than getting setbacks. So, we're in a
00:43:02
good space.
00:43:03
>> Nice.
00:43:04
>> And and really being here with you guys
00:43:06
and talking about it, it means a lot to
00:43:08
us. So, on behalf of everybody, we thank
00:43:10
you.
00:43:10
>> For sure. For sure. Glad glad to help.
00:43:13
>> EB research partnership or EB RV if that
00:43:16
helps.
00:43:18
>> EB research if so you remember the RV
00:43:20
research partnership.
00:43:23
>> The Emmy-winning comedy scrubs is back.
00:43:25
The beloved original cast including Zack
00:43:27
Braph, Donald Faison, Sarah Chalk, Judy
00:43:30
Reyes, and John C. McInley scrub it back
00:43:33
in at Sacred Heart Hospital for all new
00:43:36
hilarious and heartfelt stories. And
00:43:38
there's a healthy injection of colorful
00:43:40
new characters, including a fresh group
00:43:42
of newbie interns and
00:43:44
co-workers/neemeses,
00:43:46
Vanessa Bayer and Joel Kim Booster.
00:43:48
>> The new season of Scrubs, new Wednesdays
00:43:51
at 87 central on ABC and stream on Hulu.
00:43:55
>> I have another question before I get rid
00:43:56
of you, is um uh Song Blue. Look who's
00:44:01
in it.
00:44:03
Not really Eddie Veter, but uh better
00:44:07
Eddie.
00:44:07
>> Incredible simulation.
00:44:08
>> Yeah.
00:44:10
>> Did you see it yet, Eddie?
00:44:12
>> That was a surprise. Well, they sent me
00:44:14
the script.
00:44:15
>> That was surprise.
00:44:16
>> Yeah, that is. Yeah.
00:44:18
>> But it was really They were really sweet
00:44:20
people to know and a story worth
00:44:23
telling. And you know, you talk about
00:44:27
going from playing drums on your mom's
00:44:31
cookbook to
00:44:33
>> uh you know, this guy
00:44:36
um uh he uh lightning.
00:44:41
>> He
00:44:43
he had a dream and he he wasn't going to
00:44:46
let it go. And it was again very
00:44:53
you know what I what I will say is that
00:44:55
to think that years after he passed you
00:44:58
know his spirit has to be out there
00:45:01
somewhere knowing and just
00:45:06
inflated
00:45:07
with pride knowing that not just they
00:45:10
made a film but [ __ ] Hugh Jackman
00:45:14
plays him. That's
00:45:15
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:16
>> Pretty amazing. And the
00:45:17
>> Couldn't imagine. Couldn't imagine.
00:45:19
Yeah, for sure.
00:45:20
>> And Kate Hudson's amazing as um as
00:45:23
Claire. She's she's really amazing.
00:45:24
>> Yeah. I'm in the middle of it. I didn't
00:45:25
even know it was real. I'm in the middle
00:45:26
of it just thinking it's I like Neil
00:45:28
Diamond. I sang one of his songs in one
00:45:30
of my movies. I I went and saw him in
00:45:32
concert and I was like, "Oh, this sounds
00:45:34
like it's up my alley." Just on the
00:45:35
peripher
00:45:38
calling him, but I didn't know that was
00:45:40
real either. So I I found out later it
00:45:43
was real. you did call.
00:45:46
>> Yeah, they they they were uh I knew this
00:45:49
other
00:45:50
>> someone you heard about. You just heard
00:45:52
that they were out there and it was kind
00:45:53
of funny and they were doing some and
00:45:56
you're like, let's bring them out.
00:45:57
>> Well, Milwaukee had this interesting
00:46:00
u little scene of of odd acts. Uh,
00:46:05
another one was called The Frogs, which
00:46:08
was a a twoman uh, two brothers,
00:46:12
um, that would play songs like Adam and
00:46:16
Steve.
00:46:17
Um,
00:46:20
you know, drink, dress up in pink sailor
00:46:22
suits. It was a thing. But Nirvana loved
00:46:26
them. Uh, this friend of ours, Bob
00:46:28
Whitaker, Mudhoney, we loved them. Um,
00:46:31
and I think they turned us on to
00:46:35
Lightning and Thunder.
00:46:36
>> Lightning.
00:46:37
>> And you just wanted them to, you know,
00:46:41
another guy, Wesley Willis Willis out of
00:46:43
Chicago. You know, you had an
00:46:45
opportunity cuz the light was shining on
00:46:48
you to to share that light.
00:46:50
>> Yeah.
00:46:50
>> With some very cool
00:46:52
>> folks that you thought deserved it. Um,
00:46:56
and you know, it wasn't always easy. Uh
00:47:01
because then they might think like, "Oh,
00:47:04
you know, here we go." And it's not,
00:47:07
>> you know,
00:47:10
it's hard. You you uh
00:47:14
you know, you hope they can handle it,
00:47:17
>> right? It's so nutty. I mean, you called
00:47:19
them. That's a big deal. Then Hugh
00:47:20
Jackman plays him down the line, but you
00:47:22
just never know. It's such an odd
00:47:24
business and they're in front of a big
00:47:26
crowd for you guys. And you did he call
00:47:28
you to did he ask you to sing with him?
00:47:30
Is that what it was? And that was real
00:47:32
>> uh backstage. Yeah, I think he asked. Um
00:47:36
and
00:47:36
>> that's how it's depicted. Something like
00:47:37
that. And then you go out there and sing
00:47:39
with him, which is what a blast.
00:47:42
>> Yeah. Yeah, they were they were very
00:47:44
sweet and it was a big crowd for them.
00:47:46
And um and that was that was nice. Their
00:47:51
their their cup was filled for a little
00:47:53
bit there. Um and then that that movie
00:47:55
is filled with uh you know there's some
00:48:00
combustion you know accidents happen in
00:48:02
their lives and and uh they have to deal
00:48:04
with that and
00:48:06
>> it's a real story.
00:48:08
>> Yeah. Very interesting.
00:48:10
>> Dana you don't know
00:48:11
>> we were gonna we were gonna
00:48:13
>> Yeah. For a moment
00:48:14
>> I was excited for SNL.
00:48:16
>> I couldn't even believe you were even
00:48:18
possibly going to do that with me. I was
00:48:21
>> Eddie Veter.
00:48:22
>> I want to see it. chopping broccoli and
00:48:25
I was trying to think of how to do it
00:48:27
you know because it's
00:48:30
at you know there w it wasn't it wasn't
00:48:33
within a sketch I used to do it in my
00:48:35
standup act just solo with a little
00:48:37
piano if there was one available but
00:48:40
yeah I guess you were maybe I was going
00:48:42
to start and then you were going to come
00:48:43
out and she'd chop and then kind of wail
00:48:46
she chop with your pipes chopping
00:48:48
broccoli man
00:48:49
>> hysterical
00:48:50
>> yeah we we'll get to it
00:48:52
>> maybe one
00:48:53
early.
00:48:54
>> Yeah.
00:48:55
>> You know, but yeah, that would have been
00:48:56
a blast. Well, I I can't sing. I mean,
00:48:58
I'm a comedian. I can fake sing,
00:49:01
>> you know.
00:49:02
>> No, you could sing.
00:49:03
>> Um,
00:49:04
>> I think you can sing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:49:07
>> No, I can sing a little like Neil
00:49:09
because just because for whatever
00:49:12
reason, but a lot of people can. But,
00:49:14
um, but I can't. When you see a real
00:49:17
singer, you know,
00:49:19
>> it's like a real drummer. I I fake it at
00:49:22
a lot of things, but when you see a real
00:49:23
talent in in music, kind of like, okay,
00:49:26
that was not my calling. But but thank
00:49:29
you. But we would have rocked it and I
00:49:31
would have blown you away. But my point
00:49:32
is this, Eddie.
00:49:39
>> Well, the thing is, I agreed to to work
00:49:42
with you.
00:49:43
>> Mhm.
00:49:44
>> And then next thing you know, they had
00:49:45
me dressed up as a pirate.
00:49:47
>> Oh, that's right. Were you in the New
00:49:49
York? No. Were you in the Broadway show?
00:49:51
>> You were on the Friday night show. Uh,
00:49:53
was it at Radio City Music Hall or where
00:49:55
was it? I went to that.
00:49:57
>> Yeah.
00:49:57
>> Yeah, it was Radio City.
00:49:58
>> You were in the pirate sketch.
00:50:01
>> Uh, well, they had a few a few band Lady
00:50:04
Gaga and
00:50:05
>> Yeah, people in there. I remember that.
00:50:09
>> Yeah,
00:50:10
>> Lady Gaga.
00:50:11
>> I was at that show. It was [ __ ]
00:50:13
great. That one they should have aired.
00:50:15
I guess they probably couldn't because
00:50:16
all the music, but it was cool as [ __ ]
00:50:20
>> That was good. And we were going to do
00:50:21
Tom Petty at one of the shows. Uh
00:50:24
>> Oh, we were
00:50:25
>> Oh, maybe Bill show.
00:50:27
>> Yeah.
00:50:28
>> No, at your at your birthday.
00:50:31
I was I said or Bill Maher ruined it
00:50:34
because he said, "Hey, are you going to
00:50:37
stick around?" I said, "Yeah, I think
00:50:39
we're all going to sing."
00:50:41
>> And then and then he said, "And Adam
00:50:45
And he goes, "No, Eddie's not going to
00:50:47
sing." He said, "You shouldn't stick
00:50:50
around because he's not going to sing.
00:50:52
We're wrapping up." Cuz so the cake came
00:50:54
up. And then he goes, "Everyone's taking
00:50:57
off. Why is he sabotaging me? We were
00:51:00
going to sing Tom Petty." And so I left.
00:51:02
And then honestly, an hour later, Adam
00:51:04
called and said, "Hey, where are you?
00:51:05
You're up." And I go, "I thought
00:51:07
everyone left." And then who got to
00:51:10
steal my Tom Petty song with you? Was it
00:51:13
Adam? Uh, you know, I think because you
00:51:15
weren't there, we just didn't do it.
00:51:17
>> Oh, good. You know what? It's not the
00:51:18
same.
00:51:19
>> Yeah.
00:51:19
>> Adam can sing, though. Adam's good.
00:51:22
>> Eddie can play guitar.
00:51:24
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:51:25
>> He's
00:51:28
life is all green lights. My god.
00:51:31
>> And he can write. Yeah. Yeah.
00:51:33
>> He can write.
00:51:34
>> I know.
00:51:34
>> But no, he can really play.
00:51:37
>> Yeah. That's a fun thing. We all I think
00:51:38
we all I think we were in Seattle doing
00:51:40
a gig. Was Norm there when you came out
00:51:42
to see Sandler's tour in Seattle? Do you
00:51:45
remember that? I think
00:51:46
>> Norm was there. Tony Hawk,
00:51:47
>> there's been a couple, but Norm Yeah,
00:51:49
>> Eddie came out and did some Who song and
00:51:51
then we're like, "Okay, here's a real
00:51:53
singer. Here we go."
00:51:54
>> Oh, I forgot about that.
00:51:56
>> We did Can't Explain, I think.
00:51:57
>> Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.
00:51:59
>> Maybe. Hard to cover.
00:52:00
>> I think so. I
00:52:01
>> think that's where I snake that hat.
00:52:03
>> I think it is. Where is it? We could be
00:52:06
twinning right now.
00:52:06
>> It's so similar to that. It's the exact
00:52:08
same, but mine doesn't have the writing.
00:52:10
M
00:52:12
>> yeah, yours looks a little newer. You
00:52:14
gave me the cheap one, but uh anyway,
00:52:17
Dana, you'll have to you'll have to come
00:52:18
out with me and Eddie one day. It's It's
00:52:21
complicated.
00:52:21
>> I'd like to be a fly on the wall and
00:52:23
that
00:52:26
>> or just listen to music. I' I'd love to
00:52:28
listen to the Beatles with with Dana.
00:52:30
>> Oh, are you kidding? I that would be a
00:52:32
dream. I'm so uh I'm not alone in this,
00:52:35
but I'm equally as possessed as Conan
00:52:38
O'Brien or JJ Abrams or my brothers. Um
00:52:44
>> how do you how can you do it? How can
00:52:47
you be around Paul? It's just too crazy.
00:52:49
>> I I just think that what happened in
00:52:52
that Renaissance decade and I I love
00:52:54
their early stuff because they people
00:52:56
say, "Well, later on they got better." I
00:52:58
go, "No, no, no. for they were the best
00:53:00
twominute pop band in history. Then then
00:53:03
those guys extrapolated into Strawberry
00:53:06
Fields and Penny Lane as a a a double A
00:53:11
side single. So I I can't ever wrap my
00:53:13
mind around. Don't even get me started
00:53:14
on the Beatles, but but crazy.
00:53:17
>> I I just you know I
00:53:20
>> Did you Did you um just by random
00:53:23
chance, did you hear the Ringo was nice
00:53:26
enough to come play? We were talking
00:53:28
about that solo record a minute ago.
00:53:31
>> Earthlings and Ringo came. We were
00:53:33
thinking, well, this really needs like a
00:53:34
Ringo type thing. And then Andrew Watt,
00:53:38
next thing you know, had him
00:53:40
>> on the phone. We're going over to his
00:53:42
house to have him play it. And um it was
00:53:46
>> it was it was so crazy because it
00:53:50
>> literally right before our eyes and he's
00:53:52
such a young presence and energy anyway.
00:53:55
>> But he he looked like he was 25 years
00:53:59
old. You know
00:54:01
>> style certain style and you go oh my god
00:54:03
un unmistakable.
00:54:04
>> Yeah. Got that shoulder roll and
00:54:08
>> he didn't always go for the splash. He
00:54:10
loves the toms and he gets in the pocket
00:54:12
and this I don't even know this is true
00:54:15
but you maybe you tell me. So Andrew
00:54:16
Wyatt was at the SNO party and Jimmy
00:54:19
Fallon's there name drops you know and
00:54:22
they're going we're big Bele fans. We're
00:54:24
talking about Abby Road you know and
00:54:25
they're like oh yeah we're big Beetle
00:54:27
fans Abby Road. I go have you heard
00:54:29
Revolver and I think both of them said
00:54:32
I'm not really familiar you know and
00:54:34
Android too. I go, you guys haven't
00:54:35
heard Revolver and you're Beatle fans.
00:54:38
But anyway, um that that blew my mind.
00:54:41
But um I don't have a favorite. I think
00:54:45
every album is just something magical,
00:54:47
you know.
00:54:48
>> You know, my uncle had a a Memorex tape,
00:54:51
you know, those strange little cassettes
00:54:53
that was like an L and it said
00:54:55
>> it just said Revolver White Album and
00:54:59
that was one of my like first foray into
00:55:02
the heavy stuff. Oh, just to hear it
00:55:05
over and over,
00:55:05
>> over and over. And I thought it was all
00:55:07
one album. All the, you know, white
00:55:09
album and revolver. That's that's some
00:55:13
that's a heavy listen as a 12-year-old.
00:55:16
>> Yeah. Obviously, tomorrow never knows,
00:55:18
but sexy sad happiness is a warm gun.
00:55:22
These are kind of these leny just what
00:55:24
do you what every call them?
00:55:26
>> Bungalow Bill.
00:55:27
>> Bungalow Bill. Yeah. Yeah. Um uh it
00:55:31
never dear prudence. Uh Ellen Rip
00:55:35
>> incredible.
00:55:36
>> Um
00:55:38
and your bird can sing. Two minutes of
00:55:41
brilliance, you know, in harmony.
00:55:43
>> Julia, I think in Yeah, there's another
00:55:47
lenon.
00:55:49
It's uh you know.
00:55:52
Um
00:55:53
>> All right, let's let Eddie go. He seems
00:55:55
like a nice guy.
00:55:56
>> Do you have any last words for us?
00:55:58
>> Yeah. Anything you want to tell us,
00:55:59
Eddie, before you
00:56:00
>> sum up? Here he comes. Pearl.
00:56:02
>> Oh, shoot.
00:56:04
>> Well, you know, I will cuz we I was
00:56:07
thinking about Marty and uh
00:56:12
Martin Short. you
00:56:13
>> and and I know it's um I heard I heard
00:56:18
he was uh magnificent at the service and
00:56:24
>> um but I was going to share with you
00:56:26
this it this funny thing that happened
00:56:29
during co
00:56:31
um but this is how quick we were talking
00:56:34
about how quick people are and but
00:56:37
>> um so present company me excluded but
00:56:40
then Marty Marty calls up about 4 months
00:56:45
into CO just out of the blue and he
00:56:48
says, "Well, hello Eddie. I I was just I
00:56:52
was just checking in to see how my young
00:56:56
friend is doing." And uh he said, "How
00:56:59
are you, young man?" And I said, you
00:57:01
know, I'm actually a little frustrated
00:57:04
with myself because what had happened
00:57:06
when COVID hit and I smoke and drank and
00:57:11
>> and I thought, oh, Jesus Christ, you
00:57:13
know, this is it. It's a lung thing.
00:57:15
It's a respiratory thing. Like, I got to
00:57:18
drop this quick. Like, I'm going to die
00:57:20
from this some crazy [ __ ]
00:57:24
So, totally quit. Feeling pretty good.
00:57:27
And then about four or five months in,
00:57:29
something started happening. I stressed
00:57:31
out. Now I'm having a couple smokes and
00:57:34
now I'm having
00:57:35
>> So Marty said I said, "Well, I'm I'm
00:57:37
frustrated with myself.
00:57:40
I'm smoking again. You know, I'd quit
00:57:42
because of CO." He said, "Oh, what are
00:57:44
you are you smoking? Are you talking pot
00:57:47
or cigarettes?" I said I said,
00:57:49
"Cigarettes."
00:57:50
He said, "Oh, are you still waiting for
00:57:53
more literature on that?
00:58:01
And that and that was the last time I
00:58:03
ever had a cigarette.
00:58:05
>> Really?
00:58:06
>> Yeah. Just like that.
00:58:08
>> Oh, what a great
00:58:09

00:58:10
for it makes for a better story.
00:58:12

because he ended on such a hit. That's a
00:58:16
great one.
