00:00:00
Your mayor has been destroying himself
00:00:01
as a cocktail waitress at night. I'm
00:00:04
just I don't I thought that this was the
00:00:06
old boys club. I thought this was the
00:00:08
kind of stuff you guys said. I go to one
00:00:09
of these Korean barbecues. He's like,
00:00:12
"Would you believe it? They make you
00:00:13
cook your own food." He's like, "I sure
00:00:16
hate to go to one of them Korean [ __ ]
00:00:18
houses." Wait, oh, why don't you come
00:00:19
over here and suck your own dick? They
00:00:21
say comedians are modern day
00:00:23
philosophers, which is offensive to
00:00:25
modernday philosophers. You know there
00:00:28
are actual smart people in the world.
00:00:30
When I if we meet I will go and just on
00:00:32
my knees and just fate in public in
00:00:36
private day. Okay.
00:00:38
>> You know we always say we're not going
00:00:39
to do these things but let's do it.
00:00:42
>> All right Dana we had Adam Freeland and
00:00:44
he's on today. Um
00:00:46
>> we talked to him. He's got a podcast
00:00:49
that you know is out there does well.
00:00:50
He's a funny guy. is actually comedian,
00:00:53
>> but he does a lot of
00:00:54
>> some politics, some comedian stuff.
00:00:57
>> Sort of a mixed bag, right?
00:01:00
>> Yeah. It's very interesting. He's uh he
00:01:03
loves Dick Cavitt or his set is kind of
00:01:05
based on Dick Kavitt, a talk show from
00:01:07
the 1970s.
00:01:08
>> I barely remember, but yeah.
00:01:10
>> And he kind of lays back. He's got a
00:01:13
really kind of uh likable personality.
00:01:16
He's kind of pathy. he's a little bit
00:01:18
political and then he'll say stuff
00:01:19
that's slightly offkilter and so it's
00:01:22
very interesting.
00:01:23
>> Yeah, he kind of catches people off
00:01:24
guard on his show because they don't
00:01:25
really know where he's coming from and
00:01:28
uh but he's a comic at the root of it
00:01:30
all and uh he knows us and we brought
00:01:33
him on and we had a good chat with him
00:01:34
actually some good laughs. You know, you
00:01:36
never know what you're getting really,
00:01:37
but if we can get some good laughs.
00:01:39
>> Yeah. And it it's uh flattering when you
00:01:42
meet younger comedians who are kind of
00:01:44
like excited to meet us and asking us a
00:01:46
couple questions. That was interesting.
00:01:48
But yeah, he's a very charming young
00:01:51
man. And I enjoyed here. He is. Adam
00:01:54
Freeland.
00:01:56
>> Don't be mad. I have to text the whole
00:01:58
podcast.
00:01:59
>> No, I'm done. Okay. Um,
00:02:00
>> who you texting,
00:02:01
>> Sam?
00:02:03
I'm trying to
00:02:04
>> I'm trying to get spots. No, I'm
00:02:06
kidding.
00:02:07
>> Sandler's listening to this podcast. So,
00:02:09
every time his name is mentioned,
00:02:11
>> you stop, guys.
00:02:12
>> I I say
00:02:14
just as a signal to that Adam.
00:02:17
>> Yeah.
00:02:17
>> That this Adam is on.
00:02:19
>> Anyway,
00:02:19
>> it's like the the ear tug, the Mary
00:02:21
Tyler Moore ear tug to her her mother.
00:02:25
>> Carol Bernett.
00:02:25
>> Carol Bernett.
00:02:26
>> Carol Bernett.
00:02:28
>> Jesus.
00:02:28
>> We've really gone off track.
00:02:31
I'm blowing it right now, guys.
00:02:35
>> We can get out of 45 minutes, we can get
00:02:38
God,
00:02:38
>> it's impossible
00:02:41
exposed to the school. Everyone's
00:02:43
laughing at me right now.
00:02:45
>> You guys are uh I I just I'm I'm a huge
00:02:48
fan. I mean, like, it's it's very cool
00:02:50
to meet you guys. I uh I do a talk show
00:02:52
and I meet
00:02:53
>> I meet people and I'm not I'm not
00:02:55
nervous around anyone. Literally, I I
00:02:58
I'm uh I have
00:03:00
>> I've seen it
00:03:00
>> delusions of grandeur. I or like I don't
00:03:02
know. I I I narciss but like around you
00:03:06
guys is like uh it's it's it is but an
00:03:09
honor. I I've been a fan my entire lives
00:03:11
of of the both of you.
00:03:13
>> Exactly. First time we haven't
00:03:14
interrupted someone. Thank you. We
00:03:15
wanted to hear the whole compliment.
00:03:17
>> Yeah. For the first time we've never
00:03:19
that we've kept our mouths shut. We
00:03:21
don't want to interrupt that flow. But
00:03:23
yeah, I was the same way. We're just I'm
00:03:25
up the ladder from you. So when I met
00:03:28
Steve Martin or something, I just
00:03:30
>> Shecky Green.
00:03:31
>> Yeah.
00:03:32
>> When he met Auster Katon,
00:03:35
>> you know about
00:03:38
>> Do you know She Green? Who is that?
00:03:41
>> Oh, Heshy Teshowitz. He was uh he raped
00:03:43
uh like half of half.
00:03:45
>> Anyway, we're going to go to a
00:03:46
commercial and come back.
00:03:48
>> Adam with Hollywood Rape Stories with
00:03:51
our guest Adam. was on the set as a
00:03:53
child when when uh Buster Keaton was
00:03:55
hanging off the clock.
00:03:58
>> Oh, BK. Really? Yeah. BK. BK. I said,
00:04:01
"Man, that's too high."
00:04:03
>> 1936.
00:04:04
>> Oh, no. It's all right. I got ring
00:04:06
lights. I got a mic under here.
00:04:08
>> Yeah.
00:04:09
>> This your grandpa's podcast. But anyway,
00:04:13
let's go back to compliments. Uh, what
00:04:15
do you what do you like best about what
00:04:18
what floats your boat about David Spade?
00:04:20
>> Yeah. Oh, nothing. Nothing at all. I'm
00:04:23
talking to you.
00:04:25
>> No, no. I mean, I I've I've seen a
00:04:29
hundred maybe a hundred probably a
00:04:31
hundred movies with you.
00:04:33
>> I mean, I've seen literally every single
00:04:36
uh every single Happy Madison produ.
00:04:39
I've
00:04:41
literally uh it's it's a very important
00:04:43
thing for me and my group of friends. I
00:04:45
I had a I had a a Schneider on on my
00:04:49
talk show. I saw that episode. Loved it.
00:04:52
>> Yeah.
00:04:54
>> What are you talking about?
00:04:55
>> A schnowzer. Yeah. A small dog. He's a
00:04:58
He's a He's a tall glass of water. That
00:05:00
boy.
00:05:01
>> Schneider. I just saw
00:05:02
>> Schneider.
00:05:03
>> I had no idea. He was like He was He was
00:05:05
He's like D. Uh I thought I I was 52.
00:05:09
>> Yeah.
00:05:11
>> When
00:05:12
>> I always thought he was like 6'8.
00:05:14
>> Schneider looks so huge on camera.
00:05:17
>> He has a camera. He's a Titan. I'm
00:05:19
telling you what though, whatever the
00:05:21
numbers are, the confidence Rob has as a
00:05:24
person going in the room and he's the
00:05:26
only one Sandler [ __ ] and stuff.
00:05:29
>> Yeah.
00:05:30
>> That confidence makes you taller or
00:05:32
makes you bigger. It makes you forget,
00:05:35
>> you know.
00:05:37
>> Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I went
00:05:39
to AC to see uh Sandler perform and
00:05:43
Schneider opened for him uh for my
00:05:46
friend's bachelor party and I I told Rob
00:05:48
I really I loved his closer. Uh it
00:05:51
happened to be one of the one of the
00:05:53
only uh uh non-political
00:05:56
>> Are you being arrested?
00:05:58
>> No. No. I live in New York City. It's a
00:06:00
hellscape. It's a violent h anti-semitic
00:06:02
hellscape. So
00:06:06
>> uh is that garbage on the streets?
00:06:08
That's what I heard.
00:06:08
>> So that's not Nick.
00:06:10
>> Yeah, they don't have alleyways. They
00:06:11
the city planning, they didn't factor in
00:06:13
alleyways, so we have garbage on the
00:06:14
streets.
00:06:15
>> But you've got Mam Danny now to kind of
00:06:17
>> He promised.
00:06:18
>> He's a good friend. He's my friend.
00:06:20
Friends.
00:06:20
>> Oh, good. Good. I'm going to say nice
00:06:22
things. No,
00:06:23
>> he probably grew up watching you guys as
00:06:25
well. I mean, he's he's it's the first
00:06:27
like uh leader that I met where it
00:06:29
dawned on me that he's like of my
00:06:30
generation,
00:06:31
>> right?
00:06:32
>> And uh it was like Yeah. We were like
00:06:34
talking about like hiphop and like
00:06:35
soccer like we suck. I have a question.
00:06:37
>> We're like the lame. We're millennial uh
00:06:40
men
00:06:41
>> that
00:06:42
>> uh
00:06:43
>> can I ask you a question? So, this is
00:06:45
kind of what I gather because I saw your
00:06:47
uh precursor for your show and you had a
00:06:50
CRT television,
00:06:52
>> you know, when you do your little
00:06:54
preamble up front. And you also, it
00:06:56
looked like you were filming it from
00:06:58
something deconstructed from the 80s or
00:07:00
90s. That segment there was a wash over
00:07:02
it. It was kind of dull, but it felt
00:07:04
very retro. And I find that people who
00:07:07
have
00:07:09
came through the analog age, the end of
00:07:11
it, went into the digital age, have
00:07:13
nostalgia
00:07:16
for that era,
00:07:18
>> like when you were a little kid, right?
00:07:20
So, is that like an emotional touch
00:07:22
point for you? Like, do we also trigger
00:07:24
that with you watching us when you were
00:07:26
like 12, 10, 12?
00:07:28
>> Uh, you're triggering something and uh
00:07:31
you can't see you can't see down here.
00:07:33
Uh no but uh no that that is uh modeled
00:07:37
after a reference image. So the show is
00:07:39
kind of modeled after Cavit. So it's
00:07:41
like a long form talk show, right? So
00:07:44
it's a it's the attempt was to like
00:07:46
revive some I I do a talk I don't know.
00:07:49
>> I've seen it many many times. I think
00:07:51
you're great at it. I love it and I and
00:07:54
I love the Dick Cavitt reference. I
00:07:56
think Dick Cavitt is only gotten shiny
00:07:58
and brighter as we go forward. I mean,
00:08:01
his long form interviews with like
00:08:02
Robert Mitchum, these oldtimey movie
00:08:04
stars for like an hour. It's so And then
00:08:06
you're hearing the sirens. You're
00:08:08
hearing the sirens. Tiny audience. So,
00:08:10
I'll watch it on YouTube some nights,
00:08:12
I'll just go on a Dick T Cavitt run, you
00:08:14
know?
00:08:15
>> Yeah, they really they age so well. And
00:08:17
the thing that's cool about it was uh
00:08:20
because of the format of like long form
00:08:22
interview uh and it like free flowing
00:08:25
conversation you could see a famous
00:08:27
person for who they are as a guy you
00:08:30
know totally and
00:08:31
>> and uh talk shows like nowadays it's
00:08:35
it's so
00:08:36
>> I don't even know if they make money for
00:08:37
the networks anymore like it's yeah it's
00:08:40
like tell me your vacation your story
00:08:42
about losing your luggage and then
00:08:44
what's the movie and then this is the
00:08:45
clip and it's like They're these like
00:08:47
kind of like weird like legacy like
00:08:50
products that just exist because they
00:08:51
have to be there.
00:08:52
>> It's super surfacey. I I mean in the old
00:08:56
days I don't even know when they
00:08:57
invented boredom. It was probably like
00:08:59
late 80s because
00:09:00
>> Tom Schneider show was again just a like
00:09:04
he had Dan Akrid on. They would talk for
00:09:06
45 minutes straight. It was like no
00:09:07
commercials
00:09:08
>> and you would learn a lot. You're right.
00:09:10
It would go a little deeper than just I
00:09:12
heard you bought a dog recently and then
00:09:14
you do your dogs.
00:09:15
>> Oh yeah. And he he also had Gore Vidal
00:09:17
and Norman Maylor and really en enemies
00:09:20
and fights and weirdness would happen on
00:09:23
Dick Cav and real tension, you know.
00:09:26
>> But yeah, the talk show's dying. It
00:09:28
basically late night talk shows took in
00:09:30
about 485 million pre- pandemic between
00:09:33
all of them. Now it's like 50% less.
00:09:37
>> 19.
00:09:37
>> You know that? How is that crazy? Art in
00:09:40
his room.
00:09:41
>> I'm curious. I love these machines. I
00:09:43
love to research stuff. Yeah, I love
00:09:45
money. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, I know
00:09:48
nothing. I know nothing about money. I I
00:09:50
don't know. The objective really was
00:09:52
just to like do not I did a podcast for
00:09:54
so long that was like quite successful
00:09:56
and
00:09:57
>> town
00:09:59
Nick Mullen who's spirit I think he's a
00:10:02
great
00:10:03
>> improviser doing characters and
00:10:05
impressions and I thought you guys
00:10:06
played all
00:10:07
>> the greatest guy ever. Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:08
>> And Sav Savro. Yeah. There was a break
00:10:12
chemistry between you three.
00:10:15
>> Yeah, it was it was kind of like a just
00:10:17
a friendship simulator, I guess, for
00:10:19
people because it's like you don't see
00:10:21
people listening to a podcast. So,
00:10:23
you're kind of in a living room and then
00:10:25
like once you stop recording, then you
00:10:27
start having the argument about what to
00:10:29
have for lunch. It's It's kind of like
00:10:31
it feels like you're in a living room
00:10:32
with friends hanging out. It was it was
00:10:35
either overtly performative when Nick
00:10:37
would do impressions or it was so lowfi
00:10:39
and the way you guys would even dress in
00:10:41
your whole body language and sometimes
00:10:43
you get really tight on the mic and kind
00:10:45
of talk really soft and so it it drew
00:10:48
you in. But my question for you is this.
00:10:51
You didn't do ads, right?
00:10:54
>> We did. Yeah,
00:10:55
>> we did ads and Patreon.
00:10:56
>> We do the worst ads. Yeah.
00:10:58
>> Okay.
00:10:58
>> We do the absolute worst ads ever. Like
00:11:02
we had boner pill companies which are
00:11:03
like literal pharmaceuticals. We'd make
00:11:06
really just irresponsible claims.
00:11:10
We had no idea why they were like
00:11:11
signing up still. But I think because
00:11:14
the ads became part of the show, they
00:11:16
become
00:11:18
>> you know they're in a meeting one day
00:11:19
going, "Did you know these guys from
00:11:22
Come Town are goofing on our
00:11:26
>> spying on town?"
00:11:29
>> No, no, seriously. Uh, I think because
00:11:31
people skip the the reads, right? Like I
00:11:34
hate ads. I hit the 30 second skip.
00:11:37
>> Yeah, we love our our advertising, but
00:11:39
go ahead.
00:11:39
>> No, I mean you're you guys I mean some
00:11:42
of the worst I mean you barely know how
00:11:44
to read.
00:11:44
>> Yeah.
00:11:45
>> No, I mean no but genuinely uh we were
00:11:48
working two hours a week and then Stav
00:11:50
was still doing the road. Nick and I got
00:11:52
really lazy. Uh
00:11:54
>> lazier than two hours a week.
00:11:57
>> Well, yeah. I mean, I I I didn't have to
00:12:00
work. I mean, I stopped doing standup
00:12:01
kind of. It's just like Yeah, I thought
00:12:03
I sucked also. Uh I was kind of like the
00:12:07
like like Nebish of the show, you know.
00:12:10
Nick and Nick is like the funniest guy
00:12:12
ever. Sav is one of the funniest guys
00:12:13
ever. Like, you know, I was like, "Oh,
00:12:15
I'm just like the the the gay like the
00:12:17
gay Jew, you know."
00:12:19
>> And then with this with this show, it's
00:12:22
like a kind of was just a series of
00:12:24
accidents. I think it started off as a
00:12:26
joke to make me into like
00:12:27
>> a public intellectual
00:12:30
>> like and re Stewart they said
00:12:33
>> oh
00:12:33
>> who's they
00:12:34
>> I'm not I'm going to blow it I'm going
00:12:36
to I like literally I'm just wearing
00:12:38
glasses I mean they they think I'm
00:12:39
something that I'm not wearing really
00:12:42
>> I'm a stupid guy like but beyond that
00:12:45
like uh yeah this is this requires a lot
00:12:48
of effort and like the scary thing about
00:12:50
trying is that if you try as hard as you
00:12:52
can you can find out that you have no
00:12:53
talent. Yeah.
00:12:54
>> And uh what's ended up happening is that
00:12:57
it's gone really well.
00:13:00
>> I just have to tell you, Dana, there's
00:13:02
something I'm excited about.
00:13:04
>> Now, you remember we talked about Jury
00:13:07
Duty, the show.
00:13:09
>> Oh, yeah.
00:13:09
>> Season one. Yeah.
00:13:10
>> Yeah.
00:13:11
>> And that one I saw it on TikTok
00:13:14
>> and then it was kind of a word of mouth
00:13:16
thing. It It blew up. It was funny
00:13:19
>> and uh it actually all pulled together
00:13:21
which I was shocked they pulled that
00:13:23
thing together.
00:13:24
>> Uh and I was like I will they do it
00:13:28
again and they did
00:13:29
>> and cool. I think that's very cool.
00:13:32
>> It it was set in the courtroom the first
00:13:34
time and uh
00:13:35
>> this is going to be a company retreat.
00:13:38
>> H yeah.
00:13:39
>> Yeah. Jury duty presents company
00:13:41
retreat. It takes this groundbreaking
00:13:43
social experiment out of the courthouse.
00:13:45
Stay with me, Dana. I got it. And drops
00:13:48
it into the most relatable setting ever,
00:13:50
the company corporate retreat. And if
00:13:53
you've ever survived that awkward team
00:13:55
building exercises or a trust fall with
00:13:57
co-workers,
00:13:58
>> you you know the vibe.
00:14:00
>> Yeah. I mean, this is an inspired idea,
00:14:02
I got to say, after jury duty to put it
00:14:04
in a company retreat. This season
00:14:06
follows Anthony, a real temp hired by
00:14:10
Rocking Grandma's Hot Sauce for their
00:14:12
annual retreat.
00:14:13
>> Right there. They should figure it out.
00:14:15
rocking grandma's hot sauce.
00:14:17
>> Yeah, I know. It's except he has no idea
00:14:20
the entire thing is staged around him.
00:14:22
It's it's a workplace comedy meets
00:14:24
hidden camera and uh it's unpredictable.
00:14:27
It's authentic. It's so full of heart.
00:14:29
The stakes are higher. The laughs are
00:14:32
bigger and it still celebrates the
00:14:34
goodness in people. And here's the wild
00:14:36
part. Rock and grandma's hot sauce.
00:14:39
They're actually making it.
00:14:40
>> Okay.
00:14:41
>> And the flavors will be available on
00:14:43
Amazon.
00:14:44
>> Oh my god. But I wonder if they started
00:14:45
that first or if they they just made up
00:14:48
that name and then it sounded funny and
00:14:50
but it's going to get a lot of
00:14:51
attention. But you know this thing
00:14:54
>> I'm kind of glad they didn't do it in
00:14:56
the courtroom again cuz someone would
00:14:58
figure that out. I would think
00:14:59
>> Oh, I don't think they could do it in
00:15:01
the courtroom. I think that company
00:15:02
retreat is uh the next best one. Yeah,
00:15:05
>> it's hard to think of where to do it but
00:15:07
they did a good job. So looking forward
00:15:08
to that.
00:15:10
>> Me too. streaming on Prime Video March
00:15:13
20th. Come Town is still around or is it

00:16:01
apartment like could I get as kind of a
00:16:04
casual acquaintance of the mayor now
00:16:07
through you?
00:16:08
>> If I wanted a onebedroom in the village,
00:16:11
nice, you know,
00:16:13
>> um, what could I get it for? If we
00:16:16
connected through M, Danny,
00:16:19
>> I I don't think the mayor does real
00:16:21
estate.
00:16:21
>> Okay, that's an answer. I was probing.
00:16:24
>> I was just probing in case we know
00:16:26
Lauren Michaels. Here's a question I
00:16:28
have for you. It'd be funny if he had a
00:16:30
side he had to get a side job.
00:16:32
>> He still does open houses.
00:16:34
>> Yeah,
00:16:34
>> he's a real estate agent.
00:16:36
>> The mayor's been destroying himself as a
00:16:38
cocktail waitress at night.
00:16:39
>> Yeah,
00:16:40
>> he's in trouble. Yeah, that's funny.
00:16:43
>> Would you have aspirations for SNL or
00:16:46
ever thought about it that or were you?
00:16:48
>> I mean, as a kid, it's it's it was the
00:16:49
coolest thing in the world, but I think
00:16:51
I'm too kind of too old probably now.
00:16:54
I'm 38. I kind of have a thing going,
00:16:56
but I'm very close with like like
00:16:58
Sarah's and uh Sherman. She's like one
00:17:00
of my good friends.
00:17:03
>> I know you guys you guys are friends,

00:17:28
>> You were there.
00:17:28
>> It's the wildest thing. And it's only
00:17:31
her could do. I was just
00:17:33
>> Her commitment to being bananas is so
00:17:35
good.
00:17:36
>> Yeah.
00:17:36
>> And attacking the audience. Go ahead.
00:17:38
>> Yeah. I think women can I think women
00:17:40
could do it. I think they could do
00:17:42
comedy. I for a long time we doubted it,
00:17:45
but I thought, you know,
00:17:46
>> Yeah. This is just a recent thing. Yeah.
00:17:49
>> Like the last male or female. This is an
00:17:52
X-rated haunted house.
00:17:54
>> Oh, come on. How many of them are funny?
00:17:56
>> What?
00:17:58

00:17:58
>> Adam? Don't even get us
00:17:59

00:18:06
No, no. I'm just making fun of Sarah.
00:18:07
>> No, no, we had to we had to give it up.
00:18:09
I We were in that mode back in the 80s
00:18:12
for, you know, Nord Dunn didn't think
00:18:14
they were represented. And then all of a
00:18:16
sudden Sher O Terry and Tina Fay and
00:18:20
Christine Wig and you know that the
00:18:22
women kind of took over the show.
00:18:25
>> I'm just I don't I thought that this the
00:18:28
old boys club. I thought this was the
00:18:30
kind of stuff you guys said. I don't
00:18:31
even believe that. I think women are
00:18:33
fabulous
00:18:34
>> uh and so funny and their stories. They
00:18:37
really go somewhere and they're really
00:18:39
interesting and they're and they went to
00:18:41
CVS.
00:18:42
>> Are you are you reading a lot? Where are
00:18:44
you getting this point of view from?
00:18:46
>> He's just talking off top of his head.
00:18:48
>> I co-sign all that. I mean,
00:18:51
>> I'm teased. I I don't believe that. So,
00:18:53
>> no, I'm too I'm in your frequency right
00:18:55
now. I get that. No, Sarah. But Sarah's
00:18:57
special is disgusting and revolting and
00:19:00
it's it's so fun and she's she's so uh
00:19:05
>> she's so she's a singular voice and
00:19:07
she's she's a lovely friend and uh
00:19:10
>> when you're genuine, it's kind of
00:19:12
sickening.
00:19:13
I know. It's disgusting. Really? It
00:19:15
sounds like I'm like trying to molest
00:19:16
you or something when I'm being nice.
00:19:18
Yeah. I'm like molesting with
00:19:20
compliments. Yeah.
00:19:21
>> You're like mullet stand is kind of
00:19:24
boring a lot of the time. I don't know.

You know when you Hey everybody.
00:19:28
>> I hate it.
00:19:29
>> God masturbated in front of my cat and
00:19:30
the elbow's on the mic and and Sarah
00:19:33
never is boring. She walks out and goes
00:19:35
to this guy. You act like you don't have
00:19:36
a butthole.
00:19:38
>> That's like I'm like, "Okay, she's she's
00:19:40
already got us. She's doing stuff that's
00:19:42
very different. Very hard to find
00:19:44
different.
00:19:44
>> Well, I like that with she took the
00:19:46
Seinfeld riff and she would press a
00:19:48
button and do a little
00:19:51
>> I didn't know you could do that. Like I
00:19:53
thought Seinfeld go you can't have it.
00:19:56
No.
00:19:59
>> Oh, she doesn't get in trouble for doing
00:20:00
that, right?
00:20:01
>> Would you have to clear that, Adam?
00:20:04
>> I I had to talk to Jerry and and uh
00:20:07
Netanyahu. I had to talk to both of
00:20:09
them. They're fine now. Did you hear my
00:20:11
joke that I was saying that all my exes
00:20:13
got a podcast now? It's called Didn't
00:20:15
Come Downtown.
00:20:17
>> Really?
00:20:20
>> Don't Don't say that. I'm sure they were
00:20:22
five.
00:20:26
>> Yeah, I'm going to do the Seinfeld bass
00:20:27
for the rest of the time we do the
00:20:29
podcast.
00:20:30
>> I saw a video recently of how they did
00:20:32
it and it was a synthesizer. I thought
00:20:34
my entire life was a slap base. Yeah.
00:20:38
>> Don't Okay. Yeah,
00:20:40
>> there's a YouTube video of the the
00:20:42
composer
00:20:44
>> doing the music. Yeah, it's all Yeah.
00:20:46
And he's doing it live to the episode.
00:20:48
>> No.
00:20:50
>> Yeah.
00:20:51
>> But it blew my mind. It was like I
00:20:52
thought uh Yeah. I thought
00:20:54
>> Dude, I'm so old. I was on the lot at uh
00:20:56
CBS Radford when we were doing Just
00:20:58
Shoot Me. Oh, a couple people remember.
00:21:00
And also they were doing Seinfeld and uh
00:21:03
I'd see him on his bike. It was the
00:21:05
greatest lot. Of course, just filed for
00:21:08
bankruptcy. a lot. Terrifying in LA. Uh,
00:21:11
thanks Karen Bass. Thanks Gavin. Your
00:21:14
friends. I'm kidding. Whoops.
00:21:17
>> Who is that?
00:21:18
>> I don't know. I'm just trying to put
00:21:19
blame somewhere.
00:21:20
>> The Hollywood industry is dying.
00:21:24
>> He's on your show.
00:21:25
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:26
>> Tell him to be up [ __ ] Hollywood.
00:21:28
Bring it back.
00:21:28
>> Who's going
00:21:31
I say this would this is a great idea.
00:21:33
>> I'll text you some ideas because we'll
00:21:35
get back in track. It's Gavin. Is that
00:21:39
the guess is?
00:21:39
>> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Three next week. Three
00:21:42
big ones.
00:21:43
>> Yeah. The Hollywood studio system is
00:21:45
dying. The amount of productions is
00:21:47
dying and so they have to do something.
00:21:49
So more production comes back and that
00:21:51
starts with negotiating with the union
00:21:53
>> and also subsidizing you know the
00:21:56
industry tax breaks to compete with
00:21:59
>> Romania. Boston, Atlanta, Romania,
00:22:03
Bulgaria, Zanzibar. Could you like put
00:22:06
it in an email or maybe a video? If you
00:22:10
guys are saying it, you guys are
00:22:11
legends. He might be like, "Oh,
00:22:13
>> you should say we have a question from a
00:22:14
couple of constituents."
00:22:17
>> And then
00:22:19
>> hi, I'm D.
00:22:20
>> Listen, you already lost Schneider. You
00:22:22
don't want to lose them.
00:22:24
>> What?
00:22:24
>> They're poisoning our water. No,
00:22:26
>> you were saying his last joke isn't
00:22:28
political.
00:22:29
>> Oh, the the Korean Yeah, the Korean uh
00:22:32
barbecue joke.
00:22:34
I don't sounds like he's like I go to
00:22:38
one of these Korean barbecues. He's
00:22:40
like, "Would you believe it? They make
00:22:42
you cook your own food." He's like, "I
00:22:45
sure hate to go to one of them Korean
00:22:46
whouses." Wait. Oh, why don't you come
00:22:48
over here and suck your own dick? Why do
00:22:51
you come over here and [ __ ] your own
00:22:52
ass? Yeah. It's just It's so stupid.
00:22:57
>> Let's bring up Adam. You ready for Adam?
00:22:59
>> I love fake
00:23:02
so great. They make you suck your dick.
00:23:04
Well, no, they don't.
00:23:05
>> He's like, it's kind of lazy.
00:23:08
>> Lazy.
00:23:09
>> Here's one of his jokes. We just saw him
00:23:11
on uh his first Letterman. We were all
00:23:13
friends.
00:23:14
>> Actually, Sandler, me, Jud, we were all
00:23:17
friends right before we all got on doing
00:23:19
standup in the valley and [ __ ] And and
00:23:22
Schneider was the first one to get
00:23:24
Letterman.
00:23:25
>> We all loved [ __ ] Letterman, of
00:23:27
course, and uh the show. And so, he got
00:23:29
it. And I was on TikTok the other day
00:23:31
and it was so he had such a funny unique
00:23:34
look. He looked like a little cowboy
00:23:35
shirt and he had a big pompador and he's
00:23:38
like,
00:23:38
>> "Did he do Elvis?
00:23:40
>> He did Elvis on a fish hook and he did a
00:23:42
>> Elvis on a fish hook. That got him SNL I
00:23:45
think."
00:23:45
>> Yeah. I think that was so weird.
00:23:47
>> He did how you say dude when you're in
00:23:49
LA. There's different ways of saying it.
00:23:51
He had one where he goes, "My parents
00:23:53
when I uh one time they spilled uh
00:23:57
uh I spilled like No, no, he hit his
00:24:00
knee on the coffee table and he was a
00:24:02
little kid and his mom would hit the
00:24:03
coffee table and go, "Bad coffee table.
00:24:05
Bad." And uh and then he'd feel better
00:24:09
because she goes, "We make it even here.
00:24:11
You were bad." And so he goes to bed and
00:24:14
then his dad wakes him up at 2 in the
00:24:16
morning. Hey Rob, your mom just spilled
00:24:18
some hot oil on the coffee table. Come
00:24:20
on out here. We got to make it even. You
00:24:23
know our policy.
00:24:26
>> So,
00:24:26
>> was he the first like breakout of your
00:24:28
of your crew?
00:24:29
>> Did I say it wrong? There's no laugh.
00:24:31
>> Um
00:24:33
>> uh uh
00:24:34
>> I've worked with him in San Francisco. I
00:24:36
>> maybe
00:24:36
>> No, I mean like when you guys were all
00:24:38
like
00:24:40
>> young guys. Yeah.
00:24:42
>> Spade and Schneider came as like a duo
00:24:45
somehow.
00:24:46
>> We got hired together. We were We
00:24:48
auditioned at the same time. got hired
00:24:50
as writers. Adam, I think, was doing
00:24:52
remote control, so I think he was sort
00:24:55
of known a little bit in that world of
00:24:57
MTV, which is a big world back then.
00:24:59
>> Yeah, he was on M MTV. He struggled.
00:25:02
>> I am poor boy.
00:25:04
>> He struggled for I think it was like 13
00:25:07
weeks when he got to New York and then
00:25:09
he got a TV show. So,
00:25:11
>> Sandler had a lot of stuff going on.
00:25:13
>> Undeniable.
00:25:14
>> Yeah. Undeniable.
00:25:16
No way. I knew Rob and uh well from San
00:25:19
Francisco and then met Spade in LA. So
00:25:22
and Dennis Miller we both knew them
00:25:25
>> and sort of
00:25:26
>> helped a lot
00:25:27
>> tacidly. How about these guys and then
00:25:29
you only had like 10 minutes right at
00:25:31
the time David or 15?
00:25:33
>> Yeah, probably 15. I was not a headliner
00:25:35
for shows. Maybe a middle.
00:25:36
>> They came in as writer features
00:25:39
basically, right? Yeah.
00:25:40
>> Yeah.
00:25:40
>> Wasn't a writer either. Couldn't It was
00:25:42
a
00:25:43
>> We couldn't even get a writer. It could.
00:25:44
>> What did you do for your audition? Just
00:25:46
stand up.
00:25:47
>> You talk on me or Dana?
00:25:49
>> What? Yeah. What What did you guys do?
00:25:52
Like I think I know. What did you do?
00:25:53
>> A I think did Characters.
00:25:55
>> You did Characters, right? Probably.
00:25:56
>> Well, yeah. Yeah. Basically, chatting in
00:25:59
between, but but I I was seen in a club,
00:26:02
which was lucky because I auditioned for
00:26:04
SNL the Comedy Store and a cattle call
00:26:06
and followed Sam Kenisonson with no MC
00:26:08
in between at midnight and bombed
00:26:11
epically. and the SNL people were there
00:26:13
but not Lauren. And then later on Lauren
00:26:15
was the show was coming around. So I
00:26:17
went to a small club on the west side
00:26:19
and Lauren came with Sher. And I got to
00:26:22
do 40 minutes of standup with a regular
00:26:24
audience. But I still had to audition
00:26:27
again. Um Jim Carrey was there too and
00:26:31
Phil Hartman at a studio and stand in
00:26:33
front of maybe five cast members. Love
00:26:35
it. Nora Dunn, Dennis Miller, Lauren
00:26:38
Michaels, some assistants and do kind of
00:26:40
chatty standup, you know, just
00:26:43
character.
00:26:44
>> Did you get laughs? Like the thing is
00:26:46
you get no laughs, right? That's
00:26:47
>> not in that one. Not with Lord and
00:26:50
everybody. You just have to
00:26:51
>> nerve-wracking.
00:26:52
>> Well, I done chop and I did something
00:26:55
and then there was a fire alarm. So
00:26:58
there was 10 minutes of nothing
00:27:01
>> and I'm just standing there and then
00:27:03
Lauren goes, "Uh, is that pretty much do
00:27:05
you have anything else or is that just a
00:27:08
song? Is that all?" And I I thought
00:27:12
later that his
00:27:13
>> aloof coldness
00:27:15
was trying to find out can you take live
00:27:19
TV and not blow it because the tension
00:27:21
was I think intentionally he ratchets it
00:27:23
up
00:27:24
>> to make you nervous and see if you can
00:27:26
handle it. I said, "I I got a lot more,
00:27:29
bitch." And then he went,
00:27:32
>> you're like, "I'm just waiting to see if
00:27:33
there's a real fire. Can we leave?"
00:27:37
Sarah, actually, speaking of our friend
00:27:38
Sarah,
00:27:39
>> Jesus,
00:27:40
>> uh, in the middle of her uh, second show
00:27:43
taping, the uh, the lights [ __ ] up and
00:27:47
she she was like she had a ton of
00:27:49
momentum. The lights [ __ ] up and then
00:27:51
she had to come back out cold and I it
00:27:53
was giving me heart palpitations like as
00:27:55
a comic
00:27:56
>> because it's like it's a it's a special
00:27:58
taping.
00:27:59
>> Yeah.
00:27:59
>> And I was like I was like nauseous. I
00:28:01
like wanted to throw up. Then she had to
00:28:03
get the [ __ ] momentum back and I was
00:28:05
like I was so stressed out or something.
00:28:10
>> I said she's dressed as a goer or some
00:28:12
[ __ ] she's doing.
00:28:13
>> She's dressed as some sort of clown
00:28:15
psycho.
00:28:17
>> We on the road. I go, "This is a
00:28:19
literally a clown's outfit." She goes,
00:28:21
"I know." I go, "Do you have any normal?
00:28:24
Do you have a [ __ ] you know pencil
00:28:27
dress?" Pencil dress. He's one of those
00:28:29
people who be like, "You take one day to
00:28:32
know her and 20 years to believe it."
00:28:34
>> You know, cuz that's really that's
00:28:36
really her. Yeah. She's really she's not
00:28:39
putting on a thing. I mean,
00:28:41
>> on stage, that's not really her. She's
00:28:43
an annoying Jewish girl in real life.
00:28:45
But on stage,
00:28:47
>> but that's so her so her in the sense of
00:28:50
>> what she wants to do. It's it's so
00:28:54
humor, you know. But anyway, that God
00:28:57
>> Wait, what? David, what did you what did
00:28:59
you do?
00:29:00
>> Oh, I just uh
00:29:01
>> not much.
00:29:02
>> Just
00:29:04
>> didn't really knock the RTOR scale. I
00:29:06
did supposed to be doing 20 I think
00:29:08
Catcher Rising Star. It was a light
00:29:11
crowd, probably half SNL, right? 10
00:29:13
people and then half 10 other people.
00:29:16
And I did I did 12 minutes I think
00:29:18
because it wasn't going that well. And
00:29:20
then um and then Schneider went
00:29:23
>> SNL from a bad scent.
00:29:24
>> Yeah. Well, they had seen me on the
00:29:26
Young Comedian special, so I was already
00:29:29
foot in the door. And we had the extra
00:29:32
push of being with Bernie Brilstein and
00:29:34
that that company had a lot of SNL
00:29:36
people.
00:29:37
>> Lauren Michaels was a client
00:29:38
>> and they got Dana Dana and a little bit
00:29:41
and Dennis Push. So, that all helped.
00:29:44
And then Dennis was saying they're going
00:29:46
to mostly look at your writing of the
00:29:47
jokes, not really if you're a polished
00:29:50
road act. And so I think they just liked
00:29:53
that it was like sort of a weird act and
00:29:55
I looked a little younger and
00:29:56
>> you know they he said it normal like
00:29:59
that. He didn't say like that that was
00:30:01
like Hannibal crossing the Alps cha. He
00:30:04
didn't say it like that way. He said
00:30:05
>> no he did say before I went out he goes
00:30:07
>> he said it normal.
00:30:08
>> He go I go I'm a little nervous tonight.
00:30:09
He goes
00:30:10
>> well don't worry. He goes he goes you
00:30:11
don't want to kill too hard. They're
00:30:13
going to think you're some polished road
00:30:14
dog [ __ ] act. And I go so don't do well.
00:30:17
And they're like and you're on. I'm
00:30:19
like, "Wait, don't get loud." I So I go
00:30:22
on and uh and then I got off and I was
00:30:27
like, "Oh, [ __ ] it." And then Schneider
00:30:28
went on. Then Tom Kenny went on and then
00:30:30
we got a call a couple days later on a
00:30:32
pay phone, old man alert.
00:30:34
>> And then they were like walking by one.
00:30:37
>> We were waiting for a call like in a
00:30:40
>> The Matrix. Yeah.
00:30:41
>> And they go, "Oh, it was like someone
00:30:43
from Burlstein saying Gerbitz or someone
00:30:46
saying, "Oh, that good news. They're
00:30:47
going to hire you as feature player
00:30:48
writers." I'm like, I don't want to
00:30:50
write. I just want to be a on this
00:30:52
[ __ ] show. And then they go, you got
00:30:54
to write for everybody. Like Dana,
00:30:56
everyone's better than us. I'm like, I
00:30:58
don't know how to write for these guys.
00:30:59
I don't know how to write a sketch. So,
00:31:00
it took a long time, especially for me.
00:31:02
Rob picked up a little quicker. Sandler
00:31:04
picked up very quick.
00:31:05
>> And David would sit behind me in the
00:31:07
read through. We're all reading the
00:31:08
scripts and there's like 50
00:31:10
>> die. And then Lauren would always say to
00:31:13
me just to just to mess with me, David's
00:31:16
ready whenever you fall, David's right
00:31:20
there.
00:31:22
>> Cuz David, you know, we kind of look
00:31:24
like we're from the same tribe or he's
00:31:26
my little brother or whatever. So, it
00:31:28
was a natural thing of like
00:31:29
>> it was like being in the quarterback
00:31:30
room with like Brett Favre and you're
00:31:32
like, "Hey, so you gonna stick around
00:31:34
another year?" And he's like, "I think I
00:31:36
got one more in me." I'm like, "That's
00:31:38
great."
00:31:40
And they got, you know,
00:31:42
>> they're giving great massages here at
00:31:44
the Jets, so I got to stay around for
00:31:46
another year.
00:31:47
>> Remember his wiener?
00:31:50
>> Yeah, I remember.
00:31:51
>> Yeah, I still talk to his wiener
00:31:52
sometimes.
00:31:53
>> No, I'm kidding. He sent his wiener
00:31:55
around. Remember this one time he sent
00:31:57
it to some sports reporter
00:31:59
>> or Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:00
>> Early dickpick drama.
00:32:03
>> Uhhuh.
00:32:04
>> Are you an artist?
00:32:06
>> Not really.
00:32:06
>> Yeah.
00:32:07
>> Oh, him. Oh, I I didn't do this, but
00:32:10
I've No.
00:32:11
>> Well, on a side, I put in Adam Freeland
00:32:12
and then it went to it said tour this
00:32:15
and that and then it showed these really
00:32:18
cool
00:32:20
paintings.
00:32:20
>> He is not
00:32:21
>> Oh, yeah. I'm not. No, during co I just
00:32:24
painted a little bit. Yeah.
00:32:26
>> You have there's a painting of George W.
00:32:29
Bush getting the word about 911.
00:32:32
>> Yeah, I think that was the best one I
00:32:33
did.
00:32:34
>> You did do those two. You had a fire.
00:32:36
And then you did the comedian
00:32:38
>> my coat. Yeah.
00:32:39
>> And you did the comedian crying or
00:32:41
whatever. Which uh
00:32:43
>> which one was it?
00:32:45
>> Uh he hosts
00:32:46
>> Oh, I did the Steve Harvey. Yeah, the
00:32:48
Steve Harvey.
00:32:49
>> Okay. So I thought where where am I?
00:32:51
This is a weird site. So okay. All
00:32:53
right. Hidden talents. Is that
00:32:55
>> I don't even know that that's still up
00:32:57
on the internet. Yeah, too. But
00:32:59
>> I did a I did a deep dive.
00:33:01
>> I should get rid of that. Mhm.
00:33:04
>> Um,
00:33:04
>> is Epstein still alive? 5 seconds.
00:33:07
>> Go.
00:33:08
>> Epste still alive. You have 5 seconds.
00:33:10
>> Well, if he's still alive, then he's
00:33:13
he's quite rudely ghosting me.
00:33:17
>> Quite rudely.
00:33:18
>> He's getting bad press lately. Have you
00:33:20
noticed?
00:33:21
>> He's a, you know, it's just his
00:33:23
anti-semitism has gone out of control.
00:33:26
>> You know what?
00:33:28
If he's alive, he's going to need one of
00:33:29
those crisis PR people. I think
00:33:32
>> he definitely will
00:33:33
>> kind of digging out of a hole.
00:33:34
>> As evil as possible. Yeah.
00:33:37
>> Anti-semitism is out there, man.
00:33:40
>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, actually, I I did a
00:33:42
show and it was like the worst show of
00:33:44
my life recently.
00:33:46
>> Um but it was like Sorry. Um Richard Kai
00:33:50
did my my talk show and then he asked me
00:33:52
to co-host a charity event. I I didn't
00:33:55
know what it meant. And then like 45
00:33:57
minutes before they were like it's a
00:33:59
roast of Richard Kind hosted by the
00:34:02
roast master general himself, Mr. Jeff
00:34:04
Ross. And I was like
00:34:07
a ro I I did I didn't have a set. I like
00:34:10
I'm like I'm freaking out. So I fart out
00:34:13
like a like some jokes and I get there
00:34:16
and it's just 97year-old billionaire
00:34:20
Jewish grandparents.
00:34:22
>> And I'm like what is this for? I like I
00:34:24
was like I don't know where I am. And uh
00:34:28
and
00:34:30
I was like I was told that Jeff Ross is
00:34:32
going to be the roast master. So I was
00:34:33
like I wrote some nasty crap.
00:34:35
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:34:36
>> Real nasty blue crap.
00:34:38
>> Yeah.
00:34:38
>> And so like I go out and there I was
00:34:40
like I don't guys I don't know if I
00:34:41
should say this. It was a little bit a
00:34:43
little bit crude. And they're like say
00:34:44
that joke. And I was like uh well like
00:34:47
like a lot of like a lot of people like
00:34:50
uh Richard Khan like changed his name
00:34:52
when he moved to Hollywood like uh John
00:34:55
Stewart was once named John Lieowitz and
00:34:58
Richard Khan was once named and I was
00:35:00
like Zman the rapist and then it just
00:35:04
crushes the old people like love that
00:35:06
joke and I was like I was like how is
00:35:08
this possible? I was like I was like and
00:35:10
then I'm like you know but relax guys
00:35:12
it's a family name. It's it was rape was
00:35:15
changed at Ellis Island
00:35:16

00:35:19
Mosha rapist was the first rapist in
00:35:22
Hollywood. He he founded the creative
00:35:24
artist agency and there have been
00:35:26
rapists throughout the industry ever
00:35:27
since and then it dies when I say that
00:35:30
it's a weird crowd.
00:35:32
>> It went from a throwway to a theme.
00:35:36
>> You got a one shot. You're a one shot
00:35:37
wonder.
00:35:38
>> This crap I rode in on the subway. I was
00:35:40
like I I'm freaking out. I was like, I
00:35:42
have to get through this. And so then
00:35:44
I'm like, you know, and then I was like,
00:35:46
you know, I it's going fine. I'm like,
00:35:49
I'm surviving, right? And it's it's
00:35:51
actually
00:35:52
>> I'm happy. I'm happy with how it's
00:35:54
going.
00:35:54
>> Yeah.
00:35:56
>> I was like, I wrote I wrote a a movie
00:35:58
for Richard uh recently. I pitched him.
00:36:00
It's called the the first Jew who died
00:36:02
in the Holocaust. And I was like, it's
00:36:04
about a guy who's in line for the train
00:36:07
to Awitz. and he was uh complaining
00:36:09
about whe uh whether or not he could use
00:36:12
his points for business class and then
00:36:14
>> good
00:36:15
>> and yeah they liked it. They liked you
00:36:17
know all the all the other Jews like
00:36:19
take him he's horrible. Uh, and so then
00:36:22
the last joke's there and then I was
00:36:24
like, oh, I guess it's a roast. I got to
00:36:26
go around the deis. No,
00:36:27
>> it's all I have left on the page, right?
00:36:29
>> I'm like, well, Jeff Garland's here from

00:36:46
like, and Jeff Epstein's here. Where the
00:36:49
hell have you been? Dead. Like dead.
00:36:51
Like more just the worst silence I've
00:36:54
ever heard in my entire life. And
00:36:55
horrible. Like you know when a joke
00:36:57
bombs you hear a couple chuckles. It's
00:36:59
like it's like the air has left the
00:37:01
room.
00:37:01
>> Yeah.
00:37:01
>> And I'm like standing there. It's the
00:37:03
last thing I have to say.
00:37:04
>> And I'm like it's topical. It's like
00:37:08
the news. I'm like it's not my What are
00:37:11
you talking about?
00:37:13
>> It's the last thing on the page. It
00:37:15
>> was it was just the last thing on the
00:37:17
page. And I'm like, and I'm like, and
00:37:19
then uh Richard kind of like looks at
00:37:21
me. He's like, "Adam, I think it's cuz
00:37:23
he's dead."
00:37:24
>> And I'm like, "Oh, I didn't mean to. His
00:37:27
his body is barely cold. You know, I
00:37:29
didn't I didn't mean to speak ill of the
00:37:31
noted sex trafficker and pedophile. That
00:37:33
one's
00:37:33
>> Jeffrey Epste. I love
00:37:35
>> And then my friend is in the crowd and
00:37:38
this old guy turns to him. He's like,
00:37:39
"Hey, I knew Jeffrey Epstein."
00:37:41
>> Oh. to me. I didn't even
00:37:45
Oh, that wouldn't
00:37:46
>> I got off the stage and uh someone was
00:37:48
like actually I think he was a major
00:37:50
donor to this organization. It's a
00:37:52
charity that we're doing an event for
00:37:54
right now.
00:37:55
>> Yeah.
00:37:55
>> And I was like I didn't know it was a
00:37:57
real guy. I thought it was like from the
00:37:58
news.
00:37:59
>> When did they get on this guy? He's
00:38:01
[ __ ] they they got some data now.
00:38:03
It's
00:38:04
>> it's a guy from dinner. It wasn't it's
00:38:06
just like it's a real person to them.
00:38:10
And so it was just I I literally I ran
00:38:12
away. I I left.
00:38:14
>> I like the idea of you on the subway
00:38:16
going there going, "Does anyone have
00:38:17
rape jokes?" And everyone's trying to
00:38:19
help you. And so
00:38:20
>> they liked like a romcom.
00:38:22
>> Zman the rapist. They love
00:38:24
>> Yeah. You started with your closer and
00:38:26
you
00:38:26
>> Well, da da the rapist. That's a the
00:38:28
rhythm of a great joke.
00:38:30
>> Well, it just sounds like someone from
00:38:31
like a a small village in in the
00:38:35
>> Yeah, it's it's kind of quaint. You
00:38:36
don't expect
00:38:37
>> There's like one guy that's the the
00:38:38
Yeah. the fool. The village idiot. This
00:38:41
guy's
00:38:42
>> the rap like the hunchback. He's the
00:38:44
rapist.
00:38:44
>> You know, the butcher, the rapist.
00:38:46
>> Yeah. And the hunchback.
00:38:48
>> The local rapist.
00:38:49
>> Yeah. Stand up big is is delicate. I've
00:38:51
done those events. I Neil Young and
00:38:54
every the Stills and Nash were in the
00:38:56
audience. Some kind of benefit in LA
00:38:58
somewhere. And the same kind of thing
00:39:00
just crickets bombs away.
00:39:03
>> Yeah.
00:39:04
>> Neil Neil just sat there kind of
00:39:06
stonefaced. I mean, he just he was
00:39:08
probably waiting to go on, you know, but
00:39:10
yeah, Neil was cool, but it was just
00:39:12
that situation. You just triggered me
00:39:14
and I know you can't see.
00:39:15
>> He was busy searching for a Heart of
00:39:17
Gold. I've done so many so many uh
00:39:20
corporate gigs where I bombed Dana. I
00:39:22
don't I can't even imagine Dana bombing,
00:39:24
but I guess it happens.
00:39:25
>> I have my tricks, but I I could, you
00:39:28
know, I try to levitate the room. I have
00:39:30
a sickness when I was in the clubs in
00:39:31
the early days. If you didn't kill, you
00:39:33
didn't move up and you didn't get
00:39:34
rehired. So there was this like doggy
00:39:37
dog must kill and must get a standing
00:39:39
ovation must or I'm dead in the water.
00:39:42
So I've just carried that with me. So I
00:39:45
go to these corporate dates I still want
00:39:47
to kill and it's kind of hard
00:39:49
>> when they've had dinner and it's like
00:39:51
11:00.
00:39:51
>> You know what's a good bit to do? Last
00:39:52
night I was at the comedy store and I do
00:39:55
my set and I get off. It was either
00:39:57
Harlon Williams or Santino was next and
00:40:00
I I go I get my applause which is just
00:40:03
fine. And it's not crazy, but I get off
00:40:05
and I see them about to walk on. I go,
00:40:07
"Ooh, um, Encore." And then I go right
00:40:10
back behind the curtain. They think I'm
00:40:11
going to run back on stage and they're
00:40:14
so pissed. They're like, "No, I
00:40:16
>> But of course, I was ask."
00:40:20
>> Yeah, he is. Just
00:40:21
>> the last time I s I saw him in like a
00:40:24
couple years ago and I'm like, he blew
00:40:26
my mind. Harland is underrated because
00:40:28
>> one of the funniest he's one of the
00:40:29
funniest comedian
00:40:30
>> constantly kills there
00:40:32
>> and you don't hear that much about him.
00:40:33
This isn't a negative thing. It's just
00:40:36
it's a positive thing. Meaning
00:40:38
>> he gets good spots and there's a reason
00:40:40
he gets these good juicy spots. He does
00:40:42
he does well.
00:40:43
>> Was he the one who did this standup
00:40:45
special? There was somebody who did one
00:40:47
just on a mountain by themselves with no
00:40:49
audience. Was that Harland? Somebody did
00:40:51
that.
00:40:52
>> Somebody did that during COVID. Didn't
00:40:53
they do a no audience? Yeah, the camera
00:40:55
just came in and I thought it was Harley
00:40:57
was just in the alone in the desert on
00:40:59
kind of a hill.
00:40:59
>> That's why you need a hook for a
00:41:00
special. I would have to get laughs.
00:41:02
That would be easier.
00:41:05
>> Oh, Heather's all about the groins,
00:41:07
dude. Spring always makes me want to hit
00:41:09
refresh on my routines, my energy, and
00:41:11
just how I'm taking care of myself.
00:41:13
>> But the truth is, if my wellness plan
00:41:14
feels complicated, I blow it off. I
00:41:16
won't stick with it. That's right.
00:41:17
That's why Gruns, that's been an easy
00:41:19
solution.
00:41:20
>> Yeah. Yeah. Uh, convenient,
00:41:22
comprehensive formula packed into a
00:41:24
little snack pack of gummies.
00:41:26
>> That's right.
00:41:27
>> A day. Not just a multivitamin,
00:41:30
>> not just a prebiotic. All of that in one
00:41:33
simple grab and go option.
00:41:36
>> Mhm. I don't have to think twice. That's
00:41:38
what I like in the morning. And they
00:41:40
actually taste great,
00:41:42
>> which makes staying consistent so much
00:41:44
easier. You know, David, you get a full
00:41:46
daily snack pack because there's no way
00:41:50
all of that could fit into just one
00:41:52
gummy, right? And it feels like a little
00:41:55
treat instead of just another
00:41:56
supplement. That's what's great about
00:41:57
them. They include six grams of
00:41:59
prebiotic fiber, which is more fiber
00:42:02
than most green powders and even more
00:42:04
than two cups of broccoli. Chopping
00:42:06
broccoli. That's something else.
00:42:08
>> Chop. They're they're vegan,
00:42:10
gluten-free, dairy free, nut-ree with
00:42:13
low sugar, or sugar-free options and
00:42:16
HSA, FSA eligible. What I love the most
00:42:19
is the simplicity. I can throw up my
00:42:21
bag. I know I'm covered for the day.
00:42:24
>> Yeah.
00:42:24

00:42:43
Adam, have you done a Netflix special
00:42:45
yet? I'm sorry that I
00:42:48
>> kind of I took the last year off the
00:42:50
road uh to get the show up and running
00:42:53
and uh because like yeah, Nick Nick like
00:42:56
Nick uh left the show to do we were sick
00:42:59
of podcasting and that's like how we
00:43:01
were paying for the talk show. So, we
00:43:03
both were like, "Let's just stop doing
00:43:05
the podcast." Uh, and then I kind of
00:43:07
went dark for four months, hired a
00:43:10
staff, and now I'm kind of producing
00:43:11
this talk show once a week, but now I'm
00:43:13
back on the road. So, I'm in Philly this
00:43:16
weekend, and yeah.
00:43:18
>> Have you had any confrontations on your
00:43:20
podcast with big world leaders or
00:43:21
important people?
00:43:24
>> Uh,
00:43:26
big world leaders.
00:43:28
>> Well, I didn't have a confrontation with
00:43:29
him. I got along with him really well.
00:43:32
>> Yeah.
00:43:32
>> Uh on the show I had this guy Richie
00:43:35
Torres. We had a thing that went
00:43:38
sideways about politics. You know, it's
00:43:41
just like you don't want to be
00:43:44
>> a major thing I I I want to resist doing
00:43:46
is like people think comedians are smart
00:43:50
now. Like you know, like oh yeah,
00:43:52
>> I don't want to speak from a position of
00:43:54
authority in any way that I don't
00:43:56
qualify. Like I could do the homework
00:43:58
and then present that I know these
00:44:00
things, but it's a lie, right? Instead,
00:44:02
I could rather like talk to someone
00:44:05
>> and ask them ask them questions that I
00:44:07
feel comfortable asking instead of like
00:44:09
whenever I hear a comedian like spouting
00:44:11
off about [ __ ] that trying to be smart.
00:44:14
It's like
00:44:15
>> it's it's where you become a blowhard,
00:44:17
right? Like so I don't want to I don't
00:44:18
want to do that.
00:44:20
>> I call it becoming a teacher. Like I am
00:44:22
a standup, but I'm going to shut up.
00:44:26
Yeah, talk about owner pills.
00:44:30
>> Yeah, exactly. Norm had a really good
00:44:32
quote once that was like uh uh that was
00:44:35
like they say comedians are modern day
00:44:37
philosophers which is offensive to
00:44:39
modernday philosophers, you know, there
00:44:42
are actual smart people in the world,
00:44:44
you know,
00:44:45
>> and he happened to be like one of the
00:44:46
smartest guys, you know, but it's just
00:44:48
like
00:44:48
>> it's not really us. We shouldn't be like
00:44:52
uh the the the thing is is like the
00:44:54
platforms are so big now like 10 times
00:44:57
more people are listening to Rogan every
00:44:59
day than watching CNN
00:45:01
>> anything. So
00:45:02
>> yeah.
00:45:02
>> So so there's like this uh you know
00:45:05
>> just by virtue of the fact that the
00:45:07
platforms are so big that they're
00:45:08
getting a ton of attention. But
00:45:11
>> for me personally in my show I I have to
00:45:13
make a concertive effort of like what I
00:45:15
want to do which is like if so if I have
00:45:18
a politician I'm not going to study up
00:45:20
on like specific legislation but instead
00:45:23
I could be like yo like you know no one
00:45:25
likes the government and everyone hates
00:45:27
you like why do you want to be in it?
00:45:30
>> Right.
00:45:30
>> That's a question that's a question I
00:45:32
feel comfortable asking and then you get
00:45:34
an interesting answer to it too that
00:45:36
they're not they don't h they don't have
00:45:38
talking points. They're not ready for
00:45:39
that one. Yeah. And do you do both sides
00:45:42
when you do interviews?
00:45:44
>> What do you mean both sides? Like
00:45:46
>> right, left to
00:45:47
>> Republican, Democrat.
00:45:48
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've had uh that
00:45:50
guy Scott from CNN from the argument
00:45:53
show.
00:45:53
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's
00:45:54
>> That guy's having so much fun on that
00:45:56
show.
00:45:56
>> Oh, he is.
00:45:57
>> Is he where he sits down and argues
00:45:59
there?
00:46:00
>> He's like, "Shut that." What is that
00:46:02
show?
00:46:03
>> It's just a lot.
00:46:04
>> Every time I see a clip, it's more
00:46:06
people.
00:46:06
>> Well, it's kind of Yeah. It's like the
00:46:09
United Nations review or something. They
00:46:11
get
00:46:11
>> They're all agreeing with each other one
00:46:13
after. It's a circular thing. Yeah.
00:46:16
Yeah. Yeah. And then they come to Scott.
00:46:18
Oh, wait a minute. I mean, it's kind of
00:46:20
entertaining.
00:46:21
>> Yeah. Scott's lucky because he gets half
00:46:23
the lines, right?
00:46:26
>> One of him. He gets 50% of the time.
00:46:28
>> He's cooking on that show. But I had him
00:46:30
on the show and then like, you know, and
00:46:32
then I' I've had, you know, people on
00:46:34
the I don't want to be partisan also.
00:46:37
Like I have my own opinions.
00:46:39
>> I'm not going to be like of the left or
00:46:41
of the right. I'm just a person. And if
00:46:44
someone says something that sounds like
00:46:45
[ __ ] if someone says something that
00:46:48
sounds stupid,
00:46:49
>> I think secular trends are a way to talk
00:46:54
about politics without being political.
00:46:57
>> You know, way
00:46:58
>> uh Okay, we for better for worse, we
00:47:00
have a $ 38 trillion debt. What's that
00:47:03
about? you know, um,
00:47:05
>> yeah,
00:47:06
>> what are we going to do with homeless
00:47:08
people literally in the big cities? I
00:47:10
mean, stuff that should be a problem for
00:47:12
everybody. And then it's a matter of how
00:47:13
you want to solve them.
00:47:14
>> Yeah. Sometimes you want to be like,
00:47:16
what like what's the food like at the
00:47:18
cafeteria in Congress
00:47:21
or like you want to be like, you know,
00:47:22
like Yeah.
00:47:23
>> You know, uh, how someone met Trump,
00:47:26
they're like, "Yeah, what were like the
00:47:27
weird things that he showed you?" Right.
00:47:29
You know, sometimes you you kind of want
00:47:31
to get like a threedimensional picture
00:47:33
of who these guys are and you kind of
00:47:35
see how like normal or [ __ ] weird the
00:47:40
people are that are in these positions.
00:47:42
And I think like actually seeing people
00:47:43
for who they are is actually very
00:47:45
helpful. So, if I'm like asking them
00:47:47
about even just like, you know, their
00:47:50
backgrounds, like I had one politician
00:47:53
on and I was like talking to his comm's
00:47:55
team and I was like, you know, does he
00:47:57
like [ __ ] does he play guitar? I was
00:47:59
like, I can't find anything. And they
00:48:01
were like, he likes walking around and
00:48:03
uh and hot dogs. And I was like, he
00:48:06
sounds like the BTK killer.
00:48:11
>> I was like, you guys have to make
00:48:12
something up. everyone. Everyone's
00:48:14
>> got to get them a tattoo or a snake. I
00:48:16
mean, it's this is walking around and
00:48:18
and hot dog expert.
00:48:20
>> They don't know anything. They are
00:48:22
nothing. And it's it's you give them
00:48:24
power. If you have a financial advisor,
00:48:26
they use all these funny terms to kind
00:48:28
of raisage you. They're just dudes in a
00:48:31
room. They, you know, they're take taken
00:48:33
as [ __ ] [ __ ] these people. Yeah.
00:48:35
>> Never give experts power, you know,
00:48:39
especially with modern day information,
00:48:42
>> you know.
00:48:42
>> I don't know. I think they we just they
00:48:44
need to do a good job probably. Doesn't
00:48:46
seem like they're doing a good good job.
00:48:48
A lot of them.
00:48:48
>> Have they ever? They're I don't know.
00:48:50
>> Yeah, I think they've done a good job a
00:48:53
couple times. Maybe.
00:48:55
>> Well, maybe we are doing a better job.
00:48:56
>> They passed like the Civil Rights Act.
00:48:58
That was pretty good, I guess.
00:48:59
>> Yeah.
00:48:59
>> Maybe this is the best it gets, you
00:49:01
know, because people go,
00:49:02
>> "No, no, it's very trashy. It's very
00:49:04
It's It's like they wear hoodies and
00:49:06
stuff now. I We got to bring back the
00:49:09
Yale guys that do like satanic blood
00:49:11
rituals." Like it was at least it was
00:49:13
classic.
00:49:13
>> Did they ever really go away?
00:49:15
>> At least it was classy. Yeah.
00:49:17
>> Now you can you go on Facebook Live and
00:49:20
have a meltdown at CVS and be in
00:49:22
Congress like six months later.
00:49:24
>> Yeah, it's true.
00:49:24
>> It's a little white trash. It's like I
00:49:27
just They used to have class.
00:49:29
>> They used to kill
00:49:32
>> They kill the president. They'd kill the
00:49:34
brother. They'd kill But they had class.
00:49:37
>> Yeah.
00:49:39
>> All right. We're ending on that because
00:49:40
that's a good upper. We're trying to get
00:49:42
you a
00:49:44
>> Are you on your way to the airport?
00:49:46
>> Yeah.
00:49:47
>> Oh, guys, I've been uh like a like a
00:49:51
10year-old so nervous and I hope you've
00:49:53
enjoyed it. But genuinely speaking, my
00:49:56
legends. I mean,
00:49:58
>> first of all, I don't take confidence
00:49:59
well. I didn't react earlier. I really
00:50:01
really
00:50:01
>> I want to suck your dick. When I if we
00:50:04
meet, I will go and just on my knees and
00:50:07
just fate you in public, in private day.
00:50:12
Okay?
00:50:12
>> You know, we always say we're not gonna
00:50:13
do these things, but let's do it.
00:50:15
>> Here's what we're going to do. Here's
00:50:16
what we're going to do. On May 9th,
00:50:19
>> Netflix is a joke. You're at the Region
00:50:21
Theater.
00:50:22
>> Yeah.
00:50:23
>> We're gonna get a ticket.
00:50:24
>> They sold the first one. Dave and I
00:50:26
we're gonna be we're not gonna let you
00:50:28
know, but we're gonna be sitting in the
00:50:30
back and right before you go on, they're
00:50:32
gonna go, "Spade and Carver are here.
00:50:34
They want to see what you got."
00:50:35
>> Yeah.
00:50:36
>> Some jokes might sound familiar
00:50:38
>> from our act.
00:50:39
>> My cho My chopping broccoli opener.
00:50:43
>> My chopping broccoli.
00:50:43
>> You can have that. I love it when people
00:50:45
do.
00:50:46
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:50:47
>> But what's the other broccoli called?
00:50:49
Broccolina.
00:50:51
>> Yeah. I have a big Joe Dirter that I've
00:50:53
been doing.
00:50:56

00:50:59
>> Formers.
