on the wall with David Spade and his new. scripted podcast with Dex Carvey and. Julian matulich we're going to learn a. little bit about that today I'm grateful. to get to spend time with him Mr Dana. Carvey. [Music]. sit and tell you my story.
[Music]. [Applause]. well the worst thing you can do is say. to yourself I wonder if I'll get an. erection. yeah. the whole idea of sex is not thinking. and all you have to do is concentrate on. turning yourself on.
because they asked me that once on a. podcast so go how do you turn someone. else turn someone on you go turn. yourself on damn. true focus on that. yeah I think I I like yeah I mean I've. had probably libido issue since I was. probably. I would bet eight or nine months old I. don't know well but you're okay. you don't have a libido until you go. through puberty really right okay I mean. who has a libido when they're in diapers.
but you know I don't know I have to look. at some pictures and see what you know. see what was going on back then but yeah. I felt like. I don't know when that libido starts. cranking up well it's normally I'll just. play doctor uh when puberty happens is. when libido kicks up I'm gonna say that. yeah we had a party in our neighborhood. this guy had an Elvis impersonator right. and he had a party for his child. whenever he went through puberty I. remember and we went out well that's.
kind of like a bar mitzvah kind of right. I guess I don't know I'd never had never. been anything like that I think it was. like some part of I don't know if it was. like a church program or whatever but. yeah this fella got all pubescent or. whatever and so they invited everybody. over there for cake or whatever when I. turned 13 my dad headbutt me and I saw. Stars yeah you think you're a man. [Laughter]. dude that's the same thing bro I tell. everybody Mike Myers always said the one. movie movie had was a headbutt and you.
always come up slow if you know there's. gonna be a fight like what's up we gotta. have peace boom and you really is. efficient didn't have that in Louisiana. head butts the sudden friendly one I. don't know Jed we should get along we. can share the fishing hole boom. I just I don't know where you grew up I. know it's down in that area of the world. yeah I think a good head but what was a. good good but oh mace I think was. popular by us are you a little warm.
dinner well no I'm not well this this is. for Arctic weather but I just want to. keep the blue around me because it's hip. yeah it is I'm like in a little cozy. yeah I can't believe how good I look. today yeah that's amazing yeah isn't it. interesting someday you crack up you. wake up and you're like okay today's. gonna be an okay looking day I know well. if I go back I I still think that a man. and Lauren Michael said once something. about a man in his 40s and a woman in. their 20s they're both at the peak of. their power so you're just coming into.
your Peak sex symbol you're successful. you're in your 40s now you go start to. look at 20 21. 22. I'll keep going with 23. 24. but. yeah you're in you're in your private I. remember someone saying that to me I had. this guy my age doing my hair on some. kind of movie and he goes and I go I'm. 38 you know and he goes oh you're in. your Prime ah that [ __ ] was right was. he no but I'm in my Prime now yeah yeah. the prime I guess I'm Johnny positive.
the prime has to keep moving huh. uh you have to keep the prime moving. don't you the yeah if you if you didn't. age or get older then we'd be in some. kind of hellish environment you think. yeah we gotta check out we gotta have an. expiration date it makes everything. intense what if you lived a million. years you just you're just like what. would you do it's like I mean you would. definitely probably call in you know. you'd call you'd show up late to work. more. I think well you know I've always wanted.
to play the saxophone because my parents. I got picked to play the saxophone in. fifth grade but it was seven dollars a. month and I kept coming to school it's. expensive huh and they said they said. where's your saxophone so I go I'll have. it tomorrow and at one point I think my. mom said you know we can't afford the. saxophone so if I lived a million years. I would spend at least 10 000 years. practicing a saxophone yeah bro you'd be. so good then you'd be able to play for.
the king I don't think I no I don't. think that's my skill set but I like to. bang on things and strum things did you. have a uh instrument as a child was. there something you got kind of early. that they gave you usually a parent will. give a child something give them a horn. give them a little uh you know something. you see people right give them a. Moroccan that came later but first my. brother and I saw the Beach Boys we had. a band called The Surfers so we had the. clothes hamper you know where the crayon. we wrote the surface he got a one string. guitar he could play Louie Louie for a.
buck and I would kick the clothes hamper. for my kick drum and then I had a Hardy. Boys book for my snare and the two. drumsticks we stole them from Mickey. Hart of the Grateful Dead his store in. the 1960s because we were huge juvenile. delinquents and then I met him 30 years. later and I didn't know if it was true. he goes did you own a music store on. Laurel Avenue in San Carlos he goes yeah. I think I shoplifted there I handed him. a 20. but I had that and then I got a. big bash snare drum in sixth grade.
plastic but I had a muscly cousin who. came down it just beat killed it in a. day and why did he do it he just was. angry that you were gonna learn it he. was one of those muscly kids he's like a. sixth grader Jay winners he just was. muscly every you visited him every time. he visited me crouched like he was going. to wrestle you yeah you know one of. those cousins like I don't want to. wrestle you dude so he broke the big. bash but do you do you remember what. what toy blew your mind because I always. ask people this I this is what I say the. big three from five to twelve all right.
movie or TV show where you went holy. [ __ ]. toy you had where you want holy [ __ ] and. then a bike where you felt like an. adventurer a bike you know. yeah I think the bike was uh it had. those spoke things those little things. those little things whenever the wheel. turned like the little thing would slide. down a little it had like a little a. little you know a thing that they used. to count if you can't count real good. and you slide it oh okay so they had. like a little ticker thing. yeah yeah something like a little like.
these little he pull it up Zach Abacus. no can you pull up what I'm talking. about just like that this because we. would do a clothespin and playing cards. to get the motorcycle you did that too. right yeah they yeah we got up sold some. garbage a little deal but it would take. and then this hot girl sometimes would. ride on it with me you know or not that. hot but like you know she like lived. near me which was hot back then you know. yeah dude if a girl lived far and if you. could throw something and hit a girl. damn she was fine. when you were growing up I would say in.
third grade yeah did you ever drop your. pencil. so you had to pick it up and then you. look behind you and the girl you could. see the girl's skirt oh drop it so she. would get it no drop it so you have an. excuse to reach down and look back where. the girl you like is sitting yeah dude I. was erect from probably wait a minute. you had no libido oh I don't know if I. did it I might have been all libido but. I was a wreck probably uh from me I. can't even imagine I think from probably. fifth grade to probably.
31. would you ever have it like in grade. school like okay and you're just full. bloom you're just fantasizing you're in. a Zone you're not paying attention they. go Theo come to the chalkboard come to. the chalkboard right now yeah you're. like and you had a full erection what. did you do about that joust I would. joust the other guy passing me in the. aisle that's what I would do everybody. was in wreck man it was just a whole. classroom oh it was a bunch of like. those tarpons passing each other in the.
water and in uh in Middle School in. junior high man every like I feel like. you just didn't want to get snagged on. somebody's freaking pants now when. you're walking down the hall I remember. sometimes I would have my strap hanging. off my back and we had hooked on. somebody else's penis I was just you. know because in junior high every kid is. just so damn erect bro uh it's just like. you you know people just they can't. handle it you know you get that front. Rudder on you and you can't handle it as. a child but I remember this hot girl got. her toe caught in my bike yeah we had to.
take her to the like I don't know if it. was an emergency room or just just. somebody close by that had damn thread. on them you know and we took her over. there and uh I remember damn thread you. mean just cool clothes oh no like just. like could knit Knitter oh you know. Spruce splicer toe back up oh and so uh. I remember she got man she got she got. pretty mangled up and but she had a limp. after that and I would I'd limp with it. because she's always trying to run away. from me so after that it was kind of. good because it kind of you know gave me.
a chance so she's out in some open field. in Louisiana and she's got this hickety. step because of a broken leg and you're. kind of chasing her and she's trying to. Get Away originally she'd keep away from. me but once she got her too she rode on. my bike one time she got her toe caught. in the spokes and that was enough. permanent damage it would cause at least. maybe two months of damage wow okay God. well my brother lost his front teeth. two different ways in fifth grade I. think first he did a wheelie on his.
Stingray front tire went boom chip they. got the Caps then he's doing Duncan. yo-yos and he's going loop-de-loop bam. shipped him again. only twice I thought there'd be a third. one man it'll happen still Duncan. Imperials I went shoplifted six of those. at a Woolworths I would go to kids on. the street go you want a yo-yo and I go. in steal a yo-yo bring it out you want. one Duncan Imperial go in take it I was.
juvenile in fourth grade yeah and what. were you think you were acting out about. something I'm sitting here with Dana. Carvey as well and I'm sorry I didn't. even introduce that not at all and what. is that is Dana short for something Dana. no my name was Brett on the birth. certificate my grandmother because I had. three older brothers we were all stacked. tight five kids in 10 years my mom. um and my grandmother said they're gonna. call him Brett the brat. so I think Dana Andrews was a movie star. at the time I think it came from that. but it was I got in girls P's PE classes.
in high school like the thing would come. report to the girls physical education. class because they couldn't show up yeah. Theo is definitely a man's name but. Dana's a switch hitter like Chris or. Robin yeah Robin was a wild one now Dana. but yeah that must have been nice I was. thinking yeah could it be short for. something maybe maybe bandana I could. see. uh they call me Dane the brain because. my two of my brothers were dyslexic so. they got C's if they really tried so I. got a few bees and then I was my.
nickname was day in the brain oh yeah if. you were that's kind of funny if you're. even smarter than your brother you get. classified as the brain even if all. y'all are dumb. yeah not y'all but I'm just saying no. just in any family you know like this is. our smart kid you know we get C's well. it was it was it was bad for dyslexic. kids in those days because they just put. you in the the yellow book or the red. reading book oh then there was the green. pretty smart we got in the blue book we. were the rock stars and then they would. send us to the speed reading kind of. Clockwork Orange van and they would do.
the words like that we're eating a. thousand words a minute so that was you. know it was a weird childhood but I my. brothers were we're all shoppers. shoplifters and smokers we would steal. my mom's Kent cigarettes and just whale. on those then we would eat ice plants so. no one would smell it on our breath. and one day we went to the mall and we. three of us me and my two older brothers. we parked our bikes said [ __ ] someone's. gonna steal them we went into a hardware. store stole locks locked up our bikes.
went back in shoplifted came home laid. everything out on the table my brother. Brad who I based Garth on a science. brother he added it all up and he goes. That's 14 and about 92 cents of stuff in. those days so that so therefore we said. 14.92 it's like Columbus so when you. were shoplifting with your brother you'd. go are you sailing the blue he goes yeah. I'm sailing the blue I'm trying to get. you know and my brother Brad eventually. uh would steal for the sport of it like.
he'd go and get a whole LP album under. his shirt and I go up you see it sail in. the blue and he goes check it out I. could I could take it if I want I could. take it because you talked like that and. then he would put it back so he was like. a catch and release shoplifter wow you. don't see a lot of that no just for. sport just for but he was a brilliant. kid I mean we would go to Battle Creek. Michigan to get something from Kellogg's. you know the the cereal so you you'd.
have to put a quarter in the envelope. and he would just he tore a little part. in the envelope open to see if they go. oh poor kid if someone tore it and he. would get the prize or if we wanted to. buy candy at the Mercantile when we went. to the lake he would have a he would. sort of take a piece of metal and make a. slug out of it and put a quarter on top. so the guy would think it was 50 cents. so he was clever kid dang yeah real. clever huh it sounds like he's very I. have that Ocean's 11 in him you know. like he's got that yeah uh and did he.
end up getting in any any real crime. no he just he became he became a. brilliant engineer he invented the first. sort of sort of uh online or sorry. computer video home thing was called The. Video Toaster with Tim Jenison in the. 90s and he was the kid who. um had D cell batteries I found a frog. one day and I gave I thought it was dead. you know and he kind of hooked it up and. it was sort of vibrating because he he. had these two details and he sort of.
wired it up on it and I thought it was. kind of I was opening and uh I said Brad. the eyes opened it and this is a true. story I do it in my ACT but he's like. cars he said yeah I brought him back to. life he'll never die again that was a. but Scott and I so he was the one the. bunk bed one and we were because y'all. shared y'all at a room with how many. bunk beds in it the downstairs brothers. that were weird even to this day they. had a bunk bed downstairs Two Brothers. Two Brothers and me and Scott up there. mark and Brad and Mark would wet the bed.
like anybody's business so my parents. got this machine in a catalog so it'd be. like this plastic sheet and a little. mechanical thing to would wake him up. when he'd start to wet the bed yeah so. he starts to wet one night but he wet so. much he he killed the machine and that. would rain down on Brad because he was. the lower bump but he was inventing all. kinds of stuff but and then Scott and I. we were upstairs and uh he would sleep. with the covers over but we was a rough. and tumble second day baked goods you. know you go to the my mom and girls.
bakery one day old too too expensive two. day old they're almost giving it away. yeah so we put those in a freezer my dad. would buy a side of cheap cheap beef and. he would put it in this freezer and then. we'd get it and it was almost all. Gristle. it goes oh Jesus Christ the best parts. of gristle and it was just like gnarly. steak so I had a blocked artery by the. time I was your age yeah yeah 100. blocked man it was really blocked there.
was so much fight I I think like. there was so much more mystery and stuff. it seems like when you look at like your. childhood right yeah and then you have. children now how many children do you. have two. okay and you have two male children that. I know of Sir right and so y'all are. male heavy y'all seed line is male heavy. yeah basically they're my younger sister. my mom had four boys I've had two boys. yeah so a lot of you know I think of. masculinity begets masculinity no I'm.
just saying it's almost like a damn gay. Nightclub at this point I mean I'm. saying there's a lot of men in it that's. all I'm saying dude but why is it a cake. you're gonna have a lot of men over. there you know well you're saying. Jeffrey Dahmer would buy all a couple. sandwiches well there was a lot of. wrestling so my dad first of all he. loved to grow a scratchy beard and then. you go oh Jesus Christ time for the. whiskers and you're like five years old. you weigh like 40 pounds ah and he would. get on top of you and he go whiskers and.
he would just rub his face on your face. like ah yeah and then he'd have me oh. Jesus Christ fight him so I had to fight. my brother Scott who seemed like a giant. compared to me he was 12 I was 10. and. he'd go oh grab his balls he would. scream at us your dad oh Jesus Christ. grab his balls so that was these are. these are the good times Theo oh yeah. but I know I I had a Disney face when I. was your age so people always used to. think what up what a mellow easy happy.
life you've had but it was it was good. that we had each other right and so it. sounds like it sounds like y'all were. really close huh we are we are still now. we survived it it was a fascinating time. it was you know but um you look back on. your childhood pretty fondly it sounds. like you look back on because you have. so many like Memories I love I'm like. kind of fascinated by Nostalgia and. stuff so I think I think about those. times a lot you know well I think that. those years you can't ever get back and. those years are precious the thing that.
we were able to do is we were so. independent there was one landline it. was a party line sometimes you pick it. up and the neighbors are using it oh. sorry yeah. so you were just gone a lot and my dad. would go to Montana with his friends a. lot and so we would be just on our own. and just on get on your Schwinn Stingray. my brother got the Schwinn monster green. my parents ran out of money they got me. this Sears offload or whatever it was it. was a cheap kickoff for one which I knew. it was okay but a step kid or whatever.
the bike was even called. the other Scott was the favorite so we. uh we just ride around all day and we. just you know I played flag football in. fifth grade and it seemed like. professional sports yeah I loved it. ready break and I was the half back and. you know so I agree with you that's why. I call them the seminal years I think. they're so important. to about 12. and that then then life. kind of interrupts but before that. you're taking in so much information you.
know what about you yeah we had a decent. time seven or eight what's going on in. your household are you scared dude I was. very scared growing up I think I think I. just grew up like real sense like super. sensitive real scared uh. um. what what was it like I think uh yeah. it's a lot of time alone a lot of time. with strange babysitters you know we had. a babysitter that got a roach in her ear. one night and she kept like yelling at. us that she had a roach in here but she.
spoke also Spanish or something or I. don't know if she spoke Spanish or just. something was like wrong with her or. something or she didn't maybe she didn't. speak real well or something but we. thought it was Spanish you know yeah. babysitters are memorable we had one. when I was five my parents drove to. Montana and so lived in Montana growing. up no just till age five but we went. there every summer I was just there so. I'm I'm a Native Son in a sense but that. babysitter like I'm five and I gotta. she's putting Bactine in a Band-Aid on. my knee and I'm five and I'm remembering.
her years later like she was a fairy. princess like gorgeous so I said my. brothers at the time Mark was like 12. and he goes oh yes she was just a. complete knockout but that's that was a. memory when I was five but I wasn't. thinking sexually I just thought I just. hit my brain you know you know I've lost. some of my hair. um I wasn't taking care of myself and I. got off my medications uh I help you. keep your hair. and damn a third of it fell out.

[ __ ] she could have been named. narcoleptic I don't know what she was. there was something unique about her to. us you know yeah. um and she um. she got a roach in her ear and she was.
trying to tell us and we're just kids. you know I remember and she's like. yelling in Spanish about her having like. a uh in. um. I don't know what they call it she's. yelling at the kids Allison we don't. know we don't know what's going on we. you know we don't know if it's like. charades I remember we barely knew her. you know and then uh she ended up having. to go to the hospital and she did a. roach had got into her ear God it's. funny because that's such a great word. for that accent because I remember Al. Pacino doing a Cuban accent.
is a great word. sorry am I canceled can't do that. actually good dude so yeah so I just for. a second because my father was. Nicaraguan also so you're scared to do. that here so he had a full accent and. everything he had probably I would say. 40 accent so you would say you know I. don't know the different I just know a. general I just know Al Pacino's crazy. Cuban XO why are you going to talk it's.
time for Thanksgiving dinner still is. that how he said it no he didn't not. that much he's a little lighter you know. good deal yeah. so what did he think of you you think. like my dad had it in for me a little. bit he was he jealous of you think yeah. he was jealous that you were kind of. like PRI like funny and fun he didn't. think I was funny I think my brother. Brad could fix things like oh you know. our tool drawer was really sucked like.
the hammer always was lost so Brad would. take a butter knife and fix the dryer. and my dad would stand over him and then. try to take credit for it he was just. insecure about not being able to do that. and then for me it's because my mom. called me precious I look kind of. androgynous I don't know what he thought. I was but yeah I could see it a little. and he was well I definitely had a very. bunch of baby face and he had it in for. him but what did your dad think of you. were you the favorite son or you how. many brothers I had one brother and two. sisters okay and my dad was born in 1910.
so he was an old man right so by the. time you were like eight or ten he was. almost 80 then yeah he was almost 80s. when I was 10 he was 80 and so. it was interesting I don't think I knew. what he thought of you know he would be. sleeping a lot like a lot of my memories. or my mom waking him up and him being. kind of pissed off about stuff or he'd. be sitting somewhere and he would just. kind of doze off you know he liked to. let me sometimes like rub on his. shoulders a little bit. um sometimes he would smell like beer.
um he let me like drive his car whenever. I could like was tall enough to drive. like he kind of like let me just he. needed help you know a little bit so it. was like kind of like this trade-off a. little but what did he think he thought. he's got three other kids yeah I mean in. in between him and your mom I mean who. what was there anyone who was the. clear-cut favorite or I was my mom's. favorite and Scott was my dad's favorite. because all of a sudden you'd come home. he has a new guitar like it's not even.
Christmas or his birthday [ __ ] that's. way unfair oh man but I I was not. envious of it to be to be Bud's favorite. no I didn't I just got didn't you know. that was great get away for the monster. but I thought he's just getting toys he. was called Scotchman or Scott the pot oh. he got it did you have a nickname Theo. De Leo no I think got his head like Theo. uh what is it Teddy maybe sometimes did. they so why did they name you Theo it's. such a unique name isn't it for that. your generation yeah my dad his name was.
yeah oh so he had this thing you know. like some type of uh Spanish Flair or. something you know. [Laughter]. I just think you must have been such a. cool kid because you have such a curious. brain so I I hope that you're what about. your mom didn't think I think they. didn't my mom was busy working so we had. these strange people that'd be over.
there you know a lot of these. babysitters and we'd make up stories and. tell them stuff you know and a lot of. them we'd have like it was the first. we'd have like this big black lady that. would take care of us or a very old. woman that would take care of us and. just like we had the Spanish lady with. the roach and her you know like so there. was just like I think we didn't really. know who was gonna be there one time we. did get the hot chick dude I remember. she took me to Summer campers day camp. at the YMCA and she drove this orange. car I don't remember and she played Bon.
Jovi and I just remember I don't think. I'd ever heard music until there was. like a hot woman pregnant oh yeah and. suddenly like I could hear music I was. cool and I was like Play it Again Play. it again and like just like her like. interacting with me or engaging with me. was like the most magical thing I. remember and then. um yeah and she was not even cute I. don't think but I thought she was like. just the hottest thing ever you know. they're you know it's like a man. actually. she was almost like a man she Lo she had.
like a short haircut and she she kind of. thinks she kind of I think a lot of. dudes would have been like whoa you know. she's not my first choice of a woman you. know that crushes I had just mad crushes. with absolute shyness uh Linda Benson. there was like uh she had some tits huh. seventh grade party and you do a makeout. session you know in the dark and it was. Linda Benson and she knew it who her way. around that situation but I went what. did they do they put you all in a closet.
or something this is a dark room and I. you know seventh grade and like what and. suddenly yeah maybe we went in a closet. yeah I don't know but uh and what. happened is it like the hardest part. ever was I think trying to touch a. breast or something at the movies a lot. of guys there'd be big guys be like. touch it get that titty boy and they. threaten you if you didn't do it you. know so then you're like working off of. a clock kind of as like a shot clock. well the thing is is that there were I. don't know where you were in junior high.
there's some women that go right they. come back from the summertime and. they've been genetically gifted they're. suddenly stunning some of the guys we. had a guy who's like had a little beard. he was all muscle he was in eighth grade. and I look like a fetus with shoes I. mean I was nothing was happening but I. you know I was uh I got a chip on my. shoulder and you it I don't know where. my drive comes from a little bit but I. hate to lose and I hate anyone trying to. [ __ ] with me but I mostly want to be.
nice and friendly and stuff but if. someone goes I'm not good with that I I. attack pretty hard not physically but I. will you know verbally you'll be you'll. get that I have to get the upper hand. but Spade's got he's got an edge to him. too you know what that's like my good. buddy Spade yeah we had a nice time we. had dinner the other night that was we. ended up laughing our ass off about your. comedy team. Australian uh. dancers in Vegas you know your movie. idea that they try to go to Vegas and.
become like Thunder Down Under like oh. yeah like models with their shirts off. but they call this house. on caulk he's bounced together with. cocaine bios and then they have a little. bit you know it only lasts like one it's. only for 30 seconds of the movie but uh. that was just funny but yeah space I. think we you know it's like he's fun you. guys have your podcast right it's called. Flying the wall fly on the wall uh it's. called fly on the wall uh it's a. promotion yeah David known him since. before SNL met him when he came in he.
was always cool you met him before that. yeah he was like 21 I was like 30 or. something and did you guys seem did he. seem similar to you kind of. um there was a period of time where yeah. he was like definitely from My Tribe you. know we have us you know there's there. was a time when he opened for me so he's. like 28 29 I'm like 38 and we he'd come. out and we were playing these sheds in. in the round in the Northeast and he'd. walk out and they'd go from a lot wide.
shot at that point they thought it was. me you know and so but they're like no. no Spade was so hip even then eventually. he just had shorts on his skateboard and. he would kind of just hang over the. stool and he's like what's up everybody. you can do it that way I didn't know you. could do with that way and he was. hysterical because I come out jumping. around in that special I was in front of. that you know I drenched in sweat in. this page it's cool he's got a little. Diet Pepsi what's up ladies you know.
yeah so he's the coolest but really fun. to do a podcast with him he can drop a. little sketch in five seconds. he can go he can take a story of just. that the hamburger was overcooked the. guy's going I'm like. hey buddy could you a little bit on the. boat I mean he'll create a complete. sketch in five seconds so it's so much. fun to watch it's so Lo-Fi he doesn't. push it at all and you got to go back. and Rewind it almost. yeah yeah that's a remarkable way to say.
him it's like he like just he's not out. there barking about his Bears it's just. like hey come see what I made he's got. this little physical moves that's that. represent another person a little effect. and really funny word packages hey buddy. foreign. you know. that was I learned that from John the. winters you know then the rotary dial. went out and I lost my closer oh that's. the worst. that's the worst one time. when time start to change yeah I know.
isn't it weird about humor do you find. this Dana that I like I get scared that. I don't know what the next generation of. humor is because it's almost impossible. to really know it because you have to. like live you have to come up in it. really yeah I know it's really. interesting I mean obviously I don't. generally now go east you know I don't. do Indian accents or Japanese accents. really I can do them you know. um and I had a bit about them and I just.
sort of dropped it I don't know it's. there's this sensitivity now but I do. agree with Bill Burr he was on our. podcast flying the wall and that if the. intent is to hurt is different than just. an observation yeah you know I just was. talking about where maybe the dialect of. a Japanese accent came from just did. every accent like French is. where did that come from you know and. where did you know. look at that and I figured is because of.
all the ring of fire all the earthquakes. so you're just sitting around. you know so that was that so I don't. know if you'll have to edit that out but. I just thought it's funny. I mean so because why do they talk like. that they couldn't talk like this yeah. everybody could have talked like this. all humans all humanoids were just just. grunting all over the world pointing and. running. and then the sounds came up.
you know and I think the Indian was more. copacetic on the trade routes yeah. foreign.
and then we would ask him you know. [Music]. it's incredible accents it's crazy to. think that somebody has a whole. different like like Bible of what is. sounds and thoughts inside oh I love it. and I'm just into rhythms that's all you. know they the whole is greater than some. of the parts and when I hear. I just like it's just poetry to me you.
know with any accent well it makes me. think to what their thoughts and insides. are like you know and what some of the. mechanics are like inside of it you know. that's what I wonder sometimes and where. does it come from emotionally uh for the. male and the female Dynamic yeah because. yeah like just like a lot of asian. females are very yeah. and the men are kind of alpha male which. you can sort of practice probably. lowering your voice yeah it's coming.
from you know like I see it's almost. where semen launches from like right. there you know a little bit. [Music]. yeah that could be a guy ordering a. Pepsi. this is my favorite podcast ever I'm. just saying this I think there's this. guy ordering Pepsi yeah exactly or a guy. having a male orgasm yeah and they don't. have a lot of orgasms also in Japan and.
in uh we're orgasm heavy over here I. mean we're skeeting up the landscape you. know and then wait a minute we're orgasm. heavy we're skeeting up the landscape so. in Europe like so. we we climax more than Japanese people. or Asian people or any other culture by. far because we are the world literally. yeah we are the world you know we're. we're in that video. no but I could do I could do a spring. scene if you want we are the world I'm. Bruce Springsteen I'm five foot seven a. good day but with my boots and my cowboy.
hat it's six feet of Springsteen coming. at you sure I could have fixed my under. Bible why I'm worth a billion dollars. and I love everybody so anyway that's uh. what were we saying we uh I just made. all the badass people in the world came. to America all the aggressive people are. that's why right we are so Freedom heavy. here if they told the anti-vaxxers we're. not going to admonish you we're not. going to say you're a piece of [ __ ] and. You're a murderer but could you please.
get a vaccine they would have been. unsure man just ask me yeah but if you. go you got to get one [ __ ] you man. America no one tells me what to do so. it's just the wrong strategy yeah you. know Arnold did a PSA it should have. been instead of you know [ __ ] you. Freedom it should have been you know if. you could look like they didn't know you. could maybe go to the doctor you get the. little injection you know when you help. out the people and instead of you moved. around but we are badasses we're the. people you know my ancestors just. somebody at some point in Ireland just.
said I think I'm leaving yeah oh I'm out. there where are you going I don't want. to stay here in the rain in the potatoes. I'm going to America you could get. killed I don't give a [ __ ] yeah you know. we'll have a better menu so where you. have Nicaraguan polish and Nicaraguan. yeah so somebody probably [ __ ] on a. boat I'm guessing because I don't know. how you even get that mix you know but. that's a steamroller that went through. the Suez Canal and somehow connected. your mom and dad I don't know it was a. probably a 100 ton Steamroller. I don't know but I think look man I got.
I want to go back to this guy I think. we're seeming heavy over here right okay. so you mean we have a lot of semen or we. climax we climax a lot here I believe in. America because we're we're selling it. now there's you know there's a lot of. and I know there's Japanese porn and. stuff but in Japan like even if you go. there it's hard to meet women there's. not as much I don't think promiscuous. sex. um from what I've heard anyway well look. I don't know like for me as a kid you'd. go to the dump. or go in a park and jerk off no you'd.
find a beat up Playboy magazine oh yeah. and I don't understand I can't even wrap. my mind around a 12 year old online. going on porn yeah I don't know what. what toxicity or joy that represents but. the boys are falling behind the. educational system so technology gave. Boys video games you know and porn and. then said now study your algebra yeah uh. I think I got something better to do.
yeah you know I'm about to find the. square of my own route. at least he had a smart answer totally. dead I'm gonna do it so it's uh the boys. are behind now the this is the it's been. the year of the woman for the last 30. years which I'm okay with but here we. are again in 2023 it is drum roll year. of the woman again and so it's a great. time to be a woman and I'm all for it. it's just the boys have been the porn. and the video games are been really beat. down.
yeah did you ever tail end that did you. were you in a Nintendo yeah we got. Nintendo came out I remember when we get. a game on our birthday usually you'd get. a game and your friend would come over. to see what game it was you had that one. gift and you'd open it and and when porn. came along man I remember yeah I would. bike far for porn if I heard there was. porn somewhere you know I was starved I. was starved for like a fat from like for. motherly affection so I think when porn. came around it really started to fulfill.
some of that space let me let me just. unpack that for a minute because I was a. therapist for a prepared time we really. I'm not no but I I love. talking about human age so what do you. mean you were starved for affection your. mom didn't give you affection yeah I. think my mom didn't like look at me much. you know she didn't. did she she didn't pick me up much no no. I had a sister that was real sick that. had uh she was born with like a rare. liver condition and so she is different. than the rest of my siblings because she. got actually like physically picked up.
but my mom didn't she doesn't know that. there's like this emotional world at all. I think she just probably didn't get it. you know I don't know if I got a lot of. it either I mean maybe it was the 60s I. you know I don't remember. you know I love you but she was nice she. was sweet but she was the sixth kid she. was as terrified of my dad we all were. you know but oh your mom was oh wow yeah. but she wasn't mean she was sweet but uh. she was terrified we were all aware it.
was just like you know this one time I. got up uh these are just fun stories I. got up and uh you know I was like four. or five and there was no toilet paper I. had you know and so I used the towel and. I was so young I just put it back on the. rack so to wipe my butt and my dad came. out with it yeah and then I had to grab. my ankles in front of everybody and he. had asked my brothers how many. oh you had to go get his belt need to. snap it. you had to go grab it you had to go get.
it you get the belt and then he would. snap it and you'd grab your ankles and. then he'd ask your brothers how many all. right so then your brothers get the time. yeah give him four four and then he. would just start screaming yeah. so the next day I I had short-term. memory issues I wiped my ass again with. a towel in his bathroom and I put it. back on the rack no I didn't do it a. second time I didn't do it. but I wanted to tell you about my toys.
because we didn't have I came up during. so-called practical effects like we got. Rock'em sock'em robots there was nothing. visual on a TV screen rocking talking. robots was amazing getaway Chase game. and we played a lot of board games yeah. it was you know they're kind of cool. don't you find the tactile. three-dimensional board Stratego or uh. risk they're playing risk Candyland we. play we played a lot of games Scrabble. we played a lot I remember my favorite. time actually as a kid was when the.
power would go out because our family. had to all get together you know it was. like we had to be kind of stuck in the. same room because we needed like right. you know Mom had two candles or whatever. and so we have to go downstairs and so. and you couldn't really fight because if. you if you fought and ran off out of the. distance of the Candlelight it was real. scary so yeah power outages were hip. everybody had to like kind of needed. each other you know so it was like yeah. there was I used to kind of like hope. that the power would go out because it. would give me a time where. I don't know I just really like those.
moments where. um we all it was like the only time I. felt like our family there was a. semblance of that we needed each other. you know yeah it's interesting I I do. know that the visceral feeling of like. you kind of say you're not feeling well. can't go to school. and then you had the house to yourself. all day because my mom taught preschool. and you're watching anybody can teach. preschool no offense your mom I'm sure. she was awesome no she was yeah my. sister became a preschool teacher but. being a house by yourself and then. looking out the window at like three.
o'clock and seeing the kids who went to. school his little Melancholy I was. almost like a panic attack like I should. have gone oh yeah and it's it's like. when school was canceled you find out. that there's no school today because of. whatever reason all those feelings same. thing with the powers out you know and. you know the all these things again they. they inform us that's what my five years. of therapy was about all those. experiences and how they stay with you. you know and how it manifests in you now. yeah you know it's interesting how it.
does it was your so did your did you and. your dad have a good relationship. because it sounds like I think a lot of. men from his era probably just had a. tougher I think that it was a different. thing of being a man back then it was. full John Wayne [ __ ] and he was so. terrified of his son not being you know. and he was an orphan and he went through. different you know and then he got in. the Navy in 1943 or something or the. Army now he's an orphan with a gun now. he's while he was a radio operator in. India but I'm sure he had a firearm at.
some point but it was it was a different. time and you know sometimes I would pick. up the phone at night I'd hear his birth. mother saying you forgive me buddy. because he was nickname was Bud for. giving him up at Birth you know so he. had his he was wounded and had that. deep-seated insecurity I think he had a. little. colorblind and a little dyslexic stuff. that would have not been diagnosed so he. had an inferiority complex but I you. know in the end of the day I don't.
Harbor any I mean I'm kind of like you. know just moving on I mean but but there. were times there was a few times I felt. like he was being intentionally cruel to. me and getting off on it you know. because when all my brothers left I was. the last one to focus on and I'm with my. two High School buddies cross country. Runners really close friends all we did. was run and I was gonna work this weed. killer and spray it around the yard so. he came in the garage to go. um how do I get the top of this off Dad.
and he goes this is with a quote my. friends never forgot it oh Jesus Christ. use your penis you [ __ ]. zombie bro that use your penis your. [ __ ] you know it's like okay it's. practical advice I am a [ __ ] I don't. know how to do it can I use my penis so. I started no but that but then he kind. of it was real anger and my friends. laugh it it freaked them out and six. weeks later I got out of there I thought. this is not good use your penis you. [ __ ] it's a poetry to it you know we.
all laughed a lot now I mean we we. laughed even then we just have fits of. laughter dude laughter was so there used. to be a value to the moment you know and. I think about this a lot that there used. to be like the moment was so valuable. because you couldn't there wasn't a lot. of recording of it there wasn't nobody. had the opportunity to see it again a. million times over it was like this is. the freaking moment are you gonna be. here right now just go and you know what. I've observed is like young women are.
the happiest people on Earth really. because I go to Griffith Park and I got. my sweatshirt hood on I'm gone I'll see. groups of high school or call these. girls. laughing and chirping and just like and. I'm just like you know it's like just. giggling just head back laughing but we. did so much of that that's what made me. a comedian the friends I had there's. such they were just really funny I had. great sense of humor and we just just. started performing just laughing. laughing laughing and you know sometimes. you lose that but it's so fun to laugh.
like on this scripted podcast. we had a uh we don't have to bring it up. but no let's bring it up I want to yes. but we had a credit role and Dex my son. Dex Carvey and Julia madelage did so. many things it was during the pandemic. they they wore every hat they're. directing producing so the credit roll. at the end I read it as a character but. they did so many things that it just hit. me like a ton of bricks and it wasn't. one of the hardest I've laughed in the. last five years there's a character like. this co-directed by Julian mattelich.
index coffee written by Dex coffee and. Julian matulich edited by dexa and it. went on and on but they literally had to. wear all those hats in the pandemic we. just did it at a table with a laptop but. that belly laughing is so valuable and. so charming and you're right just just. going with it we had a little bit the. other night right before that last 10. minutes I was really because it just. getting silly you were interested. oh I'm cork yeah what was it yeah what.
was it we were talking about having like. an Australian it was like the Thunder. from Down yeah Thunder from Down Under. your two characters and you're the the. Spade would be the guy yeah you're like. it's a 2 p.m little review and you'd be. in Speedos and so you decided you spell. it differently than [ __ ] and balls but. basically on [ __ ] ease balls together. we're killing bows and then you start. dancing yeah just to see Spade do that. would be pretty funny and especially if. one of them lost his [ __ ] and he is only. balls you know and that's why they had. to do it.
wouldn't that be crazy oh I'm I'm not a. cop car I'm only bolt he's only [ __ ]. together we're only balls and only [ __ ]. sign on to www dot only [ __ ]. onlybowls.com yeah that's anyway I want. to say [ __ ] and balls more on this. bucket and there's any other one. he's talking on with Bowser but it's. just idiots with super cocky that's the. funny part yeah we are here we come. watch us come see your penises Outside.
Inside. [Laughter]. when I was a kid once the guy next door. was mowing the lawn and screaming and he. cut off some of his toes right but the. ambulance got him but the toe was out. there later yeah so then my brother Brad. came out and put it in formaldehyde my. mom saw it and said we got to take it we. got to get to the you know take him to.
the place and they went into like a. medical center we just moved to this. town and she went into a psychiatrist's. office and she goes there's a boy who's. missing a toe in my car you know they. said it's okay lady just have a seat you. know but Brad's kept that big toe and I. remember looking at it you know wow yeah. this episode is brought to you by. betterhelp.

had like a lot of poor people like we to. watch dogs give birth and people would. bet on how many whelping how much dogs. how many babies were going to be in it. um yeah we grew up like a hamster. breeding area we had a dude not far from. us I used to breed hamsters you know it. was big in our area we had. um. I used to clean out wishing wells Our. Town had like apparently the most. wishing wells per capita or something is. that because of religiosity or just. irishness I guess or I think people just.
love you know. people just love having water hidden. under the land I tell you for me. personally when I had this uh this. bypass at 42 I'm incredible now no but. uh you had a crowd droop uh yeah you. know a double yeah well the heart's. perfect but the artery was blocked damn. and I had to do a bob bypass and they. did it they didn't do the right artery. but they didn't harm me but it was fine. but my Indian cardiologist PK Shaw did. uh he went to Mother Teresa's gravesite. and did a prayer for me and then my.
Irish super Irish Catholic mother-in-law. born and raised in Dublin she did a. wishing well in Dublin and then now I'm. just perfect wow I don't have true but. you know I like I I leave a space in my. head for spookiness oh me too I think. that's one thing that used to really uh. that's one thing used to help my. imagination so much when I was young is. that anything could be possible you know. you heard a lot more lore and stuff back. then you know that's one thing I really. miss like now it's like everything is um. like I asked my little niece I said you.
should use your imagination and she goes. um what is it imagination she thought it. was an app on your phone and I'm like oh. my God like well not to dovetail again. to this goofy uh uh This brilliant. scripted podcast but that is bringing. that back for mom and dads driving. around with their kid they're just gonna. hear a story so let's go into the music. you guys started it during the pandemic. right yeah Dex and Julian came to me. with the idea of my son Tom they all. grew up with Twilight Zone because I had. the mix I had the DVD at my house in the.
90s so they're obsessed by it so we want. they want to make a show like it and we. just came today we needed to have rod. and we knew it would be a big budget. thing so we decided to do it scripted. podcast and based on the Twilight Zone. but a comedy version and they went. downtown we went crazy so a scripted. podcast yeah comedy podcast right so. it's basically where you yeah where you. it's where like you guys write it out in. advance right well we wait here's here's. what Adam. to do it we wrote it recorded it and it.
sounded like some people were on a. pirate ship we're like wow this is. awesome then we play it for people and. they're just checking their phone that's. pretty good dude whatever we got holy. [ __ ] this is not like old time radio. you're competing for someone's mind. where they got their phone in their hand. so then we kept redoing it restacking it. record it write it add effects better. re-record it more music more effects we. had access to all this Lush music in the. Warner Brothers library because we did. it with Team Coco and they had a deal.
with Warner Bros big orchestral score so. you want to make it filmic and uh ear. candy and intensity and then we go but. people get lost they're listening to it. in traffic someone cuts them off [ __ ]. you and then they lose the thread of the. story so we go Clarity is king So we had. to put more Exposition in a funny way so. the narrator Rod so we loaded Clarity we. loaded ear candy effects we made it. potent potent potent to the point where. then we loved it but it took like a year. in a room and these guys Dex and Julian. just became this two-man band because.
it's pandemic time so they literally. they they looked at it with a thousand. songs I don't know we got Dex Dex is. here he's sitting in the a thousand. songs or how many songs yeah let's ask. him and this is your son this is your. human son this is my human son yes Dex. Carvey and Julian madelage this is the. two-man team that went crazy in a good. way producing writing and directing it. was such a blast it was such a good. learning experience because you could uh. listen back to something if it didn't.
work you can just do it uh right over. immediately did it feel weird like using. like because your father obviously is a. talented instrument that a lot of the. world has used to have humor and to feel. Joy and and to feel different things yes. did it ever feel weird as his son like. is there like a strangeness there like. request you know trying to like does. that ever feel uncomfortable I'd never a. relationship with my father so I don't. you know it's tough for me to gauge any. of that but I'm just curious about it oh. I do it can be super uncomfortable just. because generally shows where it's a.
famous dad and his kids uh really suck. it generally sucks that's just common. knowledge here come the kids right yeah. yeah here comes Ronnie Tarantino let's. see what he's got going maybe you could. stand up without him I don't know he's. better there you go yeah and if we can't. see you too yeah. that's Julian widget it's your partner. there yeah that childhood friend uh. lived right next door he would come over. and watch the Twilight Zone Julian and. they're the ones who really went. downtown on this and went a little crazy.
we just went crazy with it to be honest. you because we could and we just it. wasn't like a movie you make it you know. it sucks you have to walk away we just. kept redoing it and then we learned the. space now we think we reinvented it and. whoops number four on you know yeah he's. doing very well you guys remember four. on Apple podcast today anyway for. scripted comedy podcast which is a very. tough space so we we we're very proud of. it and we love it and it deals in. Emotion personality too in a subtle way. it has story arcs it has a filmic sense.
to it and mostly the word packages and. The rhythms of the characters because. that's what I Harbor in those were so. much fun to do and Dexter your father. play all the characters you play some of. the characters did Julian play some of. them who played what we got we got a few. little ones. um my dad did most of the the voices. just because again it was like I don't. want to have uh you know it's Dana's kid. tries voices for the first time yeah. it's just like we really like this show. so I just wanted to focus on the show.
and not about the people involved as. much. but uh did you enjoy so a lot of. producing and writing from your side. yeah I think all I mean that was cool I. mean it was I'm not really that familiar. with. this project but like it's a sketch we. just sat on the mic yeah just stay on. the mic you're good just stay on the mic. we don't yeah but basically we're. riffing and we're we're at a impasse. with the story okay okay and Dex or. Julian would say something like okay the.
alien has to stay on Earth what if he. gets addicted to Earth food and he gains. so much weight he can't get home on a. spaceship so I'm like oh [ __ ] that's it. that's it so they're writing in that. kind of way and then we're all rewriting. for clarity and we all learn together I. know a lot more about making uh film or. telling stories now by doing this but. they then they would they would do a. rough edit they would add effects they. would do music we'd work on it again. together and then everyone was wearing. every hat because I would look up from. the mic after doing a take at Dex and.
Julian and I would go by them and they. might go I think that last take or this. take and we're picking takes and uh I. just give them a lot of props because. that's I I love crazy and I'm crazy I. mean I don't I I if I'm working on. something like I'll draw a little bit or. play a song I'm as excited about that as. being on Saturday Night Live it's a. weird Discovery it's almost scary that's. all I care about so this was all from. the heart. um and not for money or fame it's just.
completely a message in a bottle that. you hope people can get a little piece. in their in their brains for a while and. the weird place it's called it's called. the weird place anywhere where you can. get a podcast yeah we'll put the link. below so people can uh get a hold of it. and check it out now is each episode. different decks or what's that like is. it each episode like Anthology yeah so. Anthology means what just it's basic. three basic stories uh the first one is. about a nuclear submarine 1966 that goes. through a time portal okay and surfaces.
in 1738 and sees a pirate ship they. don't even know they've gone back in. time wow and there's a whole story. around that the second one was this. alien who has to come to Earth and. befriend an Earthling to get get them to. help and make bomb making material girls. so he tells this sweet old lady that. that's what he eats on his Planet. ammonium nitrate nitroglycerin could I. have some ammonium nitrates out what do. y'all want the four to eat to eat. because it's food so that one's a little. funnier but he's the one who gets so.
heavy he can't escape the spaceship they. become friends and then the final one is. about a guy who's gets bullied by these. guys and he goes to this this. knick-knack store in this strange. colorful character gives him a globe and. it's a magic globe and if you touch the. globe you affect the real world so he. touches the alpha Eiffel Tower it. touches Paris and one day I will go to. Paris and then there's Mayhem in Paris. so that one is really very Twilight Zone. and really special there's a lot of. songs and uh there's a companion piece.
called talking weird it's sort of an. after show that Rod interviews some of. the voice actors and there's some. singing in that and Rod is your. character so people know. Rod is we needed a Rod Serling character. and so we needed that gravitas and that. voice to give us that Vibe and the. music's all from the 60s there's no sex. or violence no real violence. um and there it's it's very 60s it has. an earnestness to it you know a. sincerity to it it's not cynical it's. not dark and Rod Sterling so people know.
who that is that is a show in the. 1960s called The Twilight Zone okay and. there's been reboots Black Mirror was. sort of a brilliant dark version of it. and there was Jordan Peele did did the. Twilight Zone and so we just did our own. thing and we kept it Earnest and we kept. it raw to sized. for our purposes so you know we did a. lot of characters yeah there he is. that's him yeah that's him Justin throw. Jr look at him yeah and is he related to. the um the Archbishop or whatever the.
Canadian um you know that's who he looks. like Justin Thoreau well that well I. just keep thinking Justin Thoreau for. Hollywood out there should play Rod. Serling in a biopic yeah because I think. he does look kind of like him if he. could throw up Justin throw if you want. but yeah let's get a quick picture of. Justin Thoreau real quick and then I got. just one more question for Dex too. um. and he loves older women I think he's. into well I was with Jennifer Aniston.
for a while right oh no I'm thinking of. the Prime Minister of uh Canada yeah. right Justin Trudeau Trudeau yeah yeah. so you thought he looks like Rod. Sterling yeah oh okay that's funny they. maybe they both do oh that's funny there. you go okay yeah you could carry it off. but you could see that uh Justin Thoreau. who's a brilliant Justin tried her yeah. and Justin Trudeau is the prime minister. of Canada he looks like he's still like. he eats adult applesauce.
he does he looks like an applesauce face. yeah if his face was a fruit product it. wouldn't just be an apple it'd be. applesauce it'd be very the runny kind. not the good kind that's bad the shitty. kind like Hi-C you have to look at him. you got have to get Kool-Aid when you. can't afford high C oh there he is Jesus. God Christ thanks got his hands around. the bun there all right that's a good. look for the leader of a large Nation I. can't do the double knuckle grip on some.
chick's ass that's what we need in our. Prime Ministers okay I can really my IQ. goes up when I become Dennis yeah you. know I just know though he won't ever. say anything directly as his own poetry. I can't see them on there rocking the. mullet that's a good look Circa 20 20. yeah spent some money on the studio here. what is this six by eight looks like a. prison cell or something okay dressing. up with the Psychedelic picture good you. put down the Hash Pipe on okay do a.
podcast so you know it's just he's uh. just a brilliant kind of awesome I went. on his show one time did you yeah he's. an amazing improviser yeah yeah was it. fun um all right one more question for. Dex let me get it so I don't forget. um yeah is this is this something that. you guys think you would do more of or. what did did this feel like too kind of. harrowing. um. I would love to do it again it was. pretty intense. just because it was just three of us and.
we also really it took like half the. time just to figure it out we just. didn't really know how to yeah it's a. lot I'm sure it sounds like a lot I. think we and Julian can talk for a sec. too I I think that we did figure it out. we have a work process now it might be a. little bit like first time you do a. podcast and now you kind of know you. know I've been learning with Spade still. but we we could go faster we would need. a little more help you know maybe a. secondary mixer we hired one yeah we had. Michael Gordon uh from Conan.
um great writer we had he's doing some. assisting for us but we were basically a. three-man band but we could move faster. it's like this is proof of concept right. and we may release uh an episode soon we. had an episode that we held that Tom. thought of it was about uh uh valdemar. Putin goes through a wormhole and ends. up in a guy's uh bedroom in in rural. Mississippi oh yeah yeah Mississippi Joe. yeah. excuse me who are you sir who am I sir.
what do you you must be KGB agent well. KGB agent I surely don't know what. you're talking about sir. I would you know so that's that's maybe. a bonus episode coming out based on. popular man demand okay yep that's cool. man yeah I think I would love to see. Russia versus Mississippi so I would. love to watch that I'd watch that on. pay-per-view even damn it yeah well I'll. tell you you know the the idea not the. romance or maybe the romance not the. reality but the idea when I gone to.
Mississippi and the South. with a gentleman a friend of mine and uh. there is a charm factor a politeness a. way of speaking that to us Northerners. is just very very Charming you know and. uh people say doll and people will damn. I mean they'll breastfeed a damn adult. if they need it you know it's just that. kind of place you know it's not you. darling you know y'all you all need some. breast milk I know you're 47. come on. over here here's my titty now put your.

I've just committed three felonies but. that breast milk's coming nice and clean. you too I'll give you the other side. yeah it's a very polite Roadhouse and. it's always at a restaurant too you know. yeah it's just the idea of the South and. the movies and you know in the. um what y'all fixing to do or or you. know it's like Al Gore people should.
think I did them gay but I wasn't I was. doing a Tennessee gentleman he's just I. take umbrage with your attitude kind of.

[ __ ] suit or like a little tux you. know like dude what is going this guy is. spaced bro people would wear cologne. people be [ __ ] drinking cologne guys. putting cologne on in their car before. like it was the first cologne to go to.
sex education like they're seducing sex. education or was the teacher a hot no it. was a man dude but just sex education. they wanted to smell good for sex. education we just thought it was time. for sex so we were just everybody but we. would we would we would wear Hooter. clamps just to keep our junk in place. really Hooter clamps they're just sort. of like this thing you wear like a. leather diaper that keeps your junk in. one place no I made that up but that's a. joke we used to have Hooter plants are. you wearing a Hooter clamp tonight yeah. I got my Hooter clamp on good I mean we.
left for hours about Hoover clamps it. would just keep your kind of wiener down. which was an invented idea maybe Brad. thought of that I don't know just when. that time when you're 20 22 and you just. go off on those like we said just just. laughing now did you ever feel left out. if your brother started to get erections. and stuff and you didn't have any of. that or anything like that. mostly erections were private did you. ever do a circle jerk with your brother. and sisters I mean no we never did. anything like that I never wanted to ask. one time we got under this blanket and.
things were like a little strange but it. wasn't anything too crazy and our butt. and my buddy was there too it was just. almost like a Native American type of. deal you know it wasn't Native American. like you were under the blankets like a. tenth yeah and then things to our. attempt started to form in your pants. and you didn't know what it meant and. you ran away we were all just kind of. chatting naked under this blanket and. then everybody started getting an. erection I think nobody wanted to like. admit it you know so everybody was just. kind of pretending like they weren't. getting in a wreck we were more innocent. we would make my sister play waitress. like on a rainy day and go she wanted to.
play with us now you can't you go but. you could play waitress okay she'd make. us root beer floats and stuff and she'd. bring them in like a waitress to go yeah. okay clean it up you know next day can. we get a cheeseburger with Jesus she. became a really good fry cook for a. while because she wanted to be our. friend so bad we just put her to work I. mean this was the this is a rough and. tumble carvies it's like the sons of. getting older I mean we were we were. just badass weirdos building forts tents. fighting was it weird so whenever you.
started to have like a lot of popularity. in your life from work and stuff was it. oh was that was it tough with your. relationship with your brothers like did. you ever get scared like oh this is. gonna take away because I felt that in. my own life and I felt it but I'm just I. guess I've worried about it so that's a. real thing that's gonna take away or. it's gonna make my brother think I don't. care about him as much or something I. don't know well I just nothing changed. on my side but my brother Scott had a. sense of humor about it he would. introduce himself after I got some. amount of famous Dana carvey's brother. hi what are you my name is Dana carvey's. brother my other name is Scott Curry but.
my primary name is Dan carvery's brother. so we just laughed about it and just. kept in touch I would do these things. called Lost weekends to stay in touch. with my friends my high school friends. my brother when I was you know Peak SNL. so we'd all go to Vegas everyone gets. their own room we go see shows we went. out to Lake Mead when it was there ever. when we get a wave runner we'd have beer. and sandwiches in the front and we'd go. out there with crystal clear and we go. to islands and dive off rocks and just. have a blast so I just went the other.
way I made a lot of new friends you know. from in show business but I have a lot. of core core friends and you know Fame. is a [ __ ] you know I mean. there's no way around it it's just very. strange and you're you're still on the. upslope so. um your brother did you look up to him. he was older yeah not as kids I didn't. but as adults I really have you know. these really really special guy and so. yeah I don't worry I just I don't know. it was just sometimes I just don't want.
him to think that I I don't know I think. we do a pretty decent job it's it's just. weird and then the money comes I. remember just I had the thing like I'd. go to a mall and I think everywhere I. look I could buy it anywhere I look I. could buy it you know and I I one time. went in and I got like a Mercedes. because like an Elvis move at a mall no. not at a mall a dealership because I got. I got I left the mall and I pointed at. this one and it was like a Mercedes. Coupe but I realized later on it had a. plastic windshield it was like 125 000.
it'd be like 250 now so I turned it back. in and I got a big giant Mercedes giant. SLE 550 huge thing and I was going into. 7-Eleven just in the valley and people. were looking at me so then I just went. to a Honda Pilot ever since then I like. to get rid of stuff I don't want I have. one car one wife you know you know it's. like I don't need a lot of things I like. guitars I like things I can interact. with you know a woman a guitar a piano a. swimming pool you know things that are.
stuff that works well I can't get that. excited about a chair and just look at. the chair that's all right my wife does. you know it's just an interior designer. mine an aesthetic mind I'm more in the. internal world but it's not. self-congratulatory but going back full. circle to your brother yeah it's so it's. um you could feel maybe a little guilt. about it because you're changing the. dynamic of how he's perceived you know. which is normal. it's not yeah I think it's you I don't. want him to ever I don't know I just. didn't want my brother to think that he.
felt that I ever felt like I was more. important than him or something like. that I don't know and maybe that's all. egotistical to even think that way you. know it's you're just a passenger in. this so you just did this I don't even. know what your resume was before you did. this and then you got really successful. extraordinary successful and that's just. the train you're writing you couldn't. will it but you were active you did this. necessary steps but this Lane that. you're in now where it's Theo Von world. and you run a you're a CEO of a business.
and you don't bow down to anyone no one. tells you you're fired this is awesome. I'm glad I live long enough to see this. that's us doing this this scripted. podcast with just a laptop in the. effects and all the things we could get. for ourselves it's such an equal playing. field for art and creativity and you're. like one of the big you know people out. there that have done this you and Tim. Dillon and others but it's a magic world. and you can't hope that you're. successful I'll be therapists for a.
second yeah that's not nothing you just. ride in the train that you know and what. happens over time I'll tell you this. much. everyone's all excited you're famous and. then it gets boring yeah it might be 10. more years but some point it's full. circle back to Theo just like and you're. still going and doing stuff but like. been there done that they're used to all. the stuff but in early heady days of it. you're picking up checks you're renting. cars you know and uh it's just a little. bit of a whoop-dee-doo I mean I I sort.
of got famous in a sense at 31 or 32. and. um so I had a long Runway before that. you know if you make it as a child actor. that's that's [ __ ] up you know yeah. it's scary man it just killed that one. kid you know you saw that Aaron Carter. he just yeah you know he drowned out he. drowned out I think he they said he was. huff and Duster. which I've done I'm not gonna lie about. that what is that specifically huff and. duster yeah asdfl Sim or whatever you. know or ever whatever it is oh okay and.
you hit you know hit the duster but yeah. I've hit it before I love it but I think. it's sad to see what you know he was a. child star and then next you know he's. got six or seven service animals I mean. he had a damn you know he was in the. damn Iditarod it looked like the guy had. so many service hands yeah and he was. getting tattoos and neck tattoos and. just once it creeps up on the face you. just feel like it's a cry for help you. know it's like what can I put on my face. it'll make me okay and the interesting.
part about therapy is just checking your. thoughts and that's a daily thing you. know cognitive behavioral therapy. because if you get redundantly into. those negative thoughts and you water. those roots and then they get in your. head I'm a loser I'm a loser I'm a loser. that's you have to really fight all that. stuff you know it's really interesting. game inside your head it all happens in. here all your joy your sadness your pain. just it's all here you know and how you. decide it is that's how it is you ever. meet a really I have a friend Chuck.
who's just a really happy person oh yeah. these guys talks like this you know he's. like the other day you know I was. running on my hop off my bike you know. and the wind was coming I don't know. what the [ __ ] was going on you know he's. a mechanic for United he's a really. bright guy but he's just got this Dems. and does thing of like you know you ever. go to New York and these Brooklyn guys I. had a friend who passed away he was like. you know he's really like you know the. guy you know God Rest his soul my mother. did this for me and this and that you. know you got to take care of your family.
it's a way of just simplifying this ride. this 70 80 90 year ride that we're all. taking on just keep it real basic right. here I'm with you right now we're. bonding over humor and telling stories. you know and I think that you know the. Theo's you know he's a good guy you know. and you had a nice chat he would come to. SNL and he was basketball freak he would. critique my SNL with basketball stats. he'd come up because I do churchly. whatever he goes 28 points 12 boards six.
assists. you know his catchphrase was this which. is another good one he did with my. brother Scott you do what you do I do. what I do rub a chicken capisce I don't. know why it's rubber chicken but it just. works you do what you do I do what I do. rub a chicken capiche and then this. oh yeah yeah well he made everything. simple same with Chuck living the moment. and it's a struggle if you're you know a.
curious active brain but it's uh you. know it's fun yeah staying in that yeah. I think it's true it's that it does all. happen between the walls of your own. head you know it's crazy that that's. really where you get that's really where. you gotta tend the soil a lot and not. even over 10 it sometimes you get so. stuck on taking care of yourself but. then that's all you're doing you know. it's like being mentally or physically. or all of it mentally all of it but all. of it it's like I gotta make sure I'm. okay you know something that's a a. hamster wheel people can really get on. nowadays.
um yeah I think nothing has to happen is. something that's helped me recently you. get all pent up nothing has to happen. yeah you know this could have got. canceled nothing has happened just just. everyone calm down we're just here yeah. nothing has to happen we're not going to. the movie no no not not tonight yeah. nothing has to happen it's just the way. everybody calm down and just laugh your. ass off and make art no nuggets no. nuggets no nuggets tonight damn it. nothing has to happen dude nothing has. to happen. um it's okay no one's thinking about me.
right now. if anyone out there is thinking is Theo. okay I mean everyone's inside their own. kiosk you know. yeah I think um. it was interesting so you so when you. got you had a lot of Fame that happened. and then you kind of took a break did. you is this okay this is a from this. outside of perspective oh no no totally. I I had this weird took a break was it. to be a dad no it's very much more. complicated than that so basically I did. all this stuff before SNL because I was.
insecure but I was in the club starting. to kick ass but I did a sitcom with. Mickey Rooney Nathan Lane in New York. Mickey Rooney Mickey Rooney you read his. book no I know Mickey though oh he. passed away didn't he he did but he made. it to like 95. yeah dude did you hear. about the story where something he slept. at somebody's house for like a couple. weeks right yeah oh no he let somebody. stay in his house for a couple weeks he. was married to some like bombshell right. yeah he he at all six of the hottest. stars in the world and I said Mickey. how'd you get him he goes money makes.
you handsomer money makes you handsomer. is his own word but go ahead what was. his story a guy stated his place for a. couple of weeks and he left him a couple. paintings as a gift and they were uh and. then like a few months later he was. getting a divorce or something and so. he's a friend help him move and he said. oh you can have those somebody left him. here and they were Salvador dollies they. were two Salvador Dali paintings wow and. he talked about struggling with his with. money most of his life oh yeah and uh. and then here he was giving away a. couple dollies like that she's kind of.
crazy yeah there he is right there there. is when I oh there I am it's the tallest. I've ever been Mickey's like he called. himself I'm a fire plug you know built. like a fire and Nathan Lane and that he. was my grandfather and I was just cast. uh from NBC I got a deal frequently I. had a teen idle thing going on and go. you're gonna play Mickey Rooney's. grandson in New York and then I met. Nathan and Mickey thought I was gay the. whole time wow he would put his arm. around Nathan and look at me and go I'm. just glad we like girls.
and he finally got money because he was. broke for 50 years anyway he was Rooney. was broke I called up Warner Brothers in. 1955. I said this is Mickey Rooney he. was always doing this I need a job and. he'd stare off and he'd go he hung up on. me. and then you'd come into the the studio. and you'd hear him down the hall. how long is Rod from Robert Redford been. in the business he's one of those guys. who talked until he ran out of air how. long has Robert Redford been in the.
business 10 years I've been in the. business 62 years how old are you 62 in. two months I mean he's one of those guys. as a baby oh yeah he had so many he. would said this a thousand times. literally literally he would say this. every day I was the which he was he was. the number star number one star in the. world 1937. I was the number one star in. the world you hear me bang. the world and he did that you hear me. bang the world.
I saw it. but he had finally had money he was. doing a Broadway show on our show he. went to the racetrack all week it was. old show business we had a guy who was. five feet tall his head was and we would. just rehearse with him all week but. Mickey would have like five thousand. dollars and he'd put it in front of my. face and goes think I can afford lunch. and he had a 38. he didn't like the. script he would bring it out. and he throw the script this script is.
Kaka and he's wavering this 38 around. and he puts it back in he goes they're. not gonna get me who the hell he was. going to kill Juan Corona this serial. killer before this I was gonna go to see. Juan Corona and I would say you know I. am I'm Mickey Rooney I was gonna plug. him full of holes. he was the craziest greatest he would. play a piano because he was a jack of. all trades his piano chords he goes this. is Stephen sondheim's favorite song but.
then we bonded he thought I was a hack. and an idiot but then. I was able to do Jimmy Stewart for him. so that's when I when I got him I know. how you doing Mick yeah good good to say. uh and said he was an impressionist too. he's like Sammy Davis Jr just could do. anything so we got going toward the end. and Nathan and I and you know there's so. much more to it but Meg Ryan played my. girlfriend set Scatman Crothers first. time I really befriended this beautiful.
older black man from the south I think. or whatever but Scatman Carruthers and. he was like such a poet my brother came. out to visit me and he say see that man. over there with the broom he's an artist. we're all about us and he played the. ukulele and he'd walk around the studio. it had an unmarked bottle this big of. pills and he just chugged some other. vitamins I'm going to 100 I'm doing. Mickey now I'm going to a hundred so. what happened was he had he he smoked a.
lot of weed it was always weed. everywhere Scatman yeah so during the. break I went back to San Francisco there. he is he was the nicest guy so Scott and. I got like 10 we got like two lids of. Colombian pot those days you'd fly with. it I guess we put in a suitcase we gave. it to Scatman and Rockefeller Center. this is 1981 Mickey Rooney's around his. cat here you go next day he's in the. elevator with me he says because you. know he grew up during secrecy with pot. he said the music was good uh might I.
get a pound so it was the best body ever. had and he could look at not even look. at you and roll a joint and it was. closed on both ends oh so then after the. show got canceled he was living in Van. Nuys and so Scott and I brought a bag of. Santa Cruz Colombian we didn't even. smoke pot at that point maybe a teeny. bit but we brought it to him he played. ukulele he goes I got a bad wheel and it. was just so such a sweet. such a sweet guy that was a cool part of.
that story of meeting him and hanging. out with Scatman oh yeah there's nothing. better that feels I feels better than. giving like good weed to a black guy I. feel like too there's just something as. a white guy that about there that feels. good you know I guess so I just you know. I didn't I grew up you know mostly as a. white neighborhood and we had an. integrated high school when I was 14 I. was standing there Carmon High School. 2500 kids and they brought all the kids. in from East Palo Alto so these buses. showed up and 500 black kids came in. to the school and all I was worried.
about was they'd think I was prejudiced. so I'd say something that sounded. Prejudice but then you know we all they. all ran on the team we all hung out but. Scatman was just sort of he's just a. poet you know just everything he said. was poetry you know some of these people. like yeah my dad had this fellow named. uh his last name Wilson right and he had. a one of his limbs was shortened out. right he probably had that you know he. had that damn Sand Wedge on him he had. that pitching wedge on his left and so. they would they would cut a bunch of he. had a bunch of pieces of Tire cut and. just kind of glue either yeah or nailed.
onto the bottom of that interesting and. he would stand sometimes when he didn't. have his uh good shoe or whatever he. would stand on a little stoop so he. looked even from far off right it was. just a big he didn't want to be uneven. you know was he a vet or was it just. congenital or an accident he just. probably I don't know maybe he got. raised in an area on an uneven surface I. have no idea what happened to him right. but they um he used to put uh he would. hang out with my father and he would you. know go get lunch form and stuff.
sometime my dad worked in a French. Quarter for a little while selling I. think some kind of [ __ ] but this guy. would help him out and he so he would. put cinnamon on his palm of his hand and. let us lick it off when we were children. you never forget that my grandmother. bring date cookies and stuff and that. seemed exciting. um any old person Subway to treat. anything they hook you up let you lick. their hand or whatever yeah it just made. you feel one thing I appreciate like my. mother had a friend that was just from.
Montana her name was cookie so she's an. old person who just giggled all the time. when you didn't meet a bitter you just I. met a lot of bitter people they didn't. like being old and my date you know it's. like okay. show business especially or life is a. bitterness Factory so be one of those. cheerful don't be mad at someone for. being young because James fiorentino was. mad at me for being young when I did. Blue Thunder really so I was in this. mock helicopter another show that I did. he was purely doing massive amounts of. coke he had a styrofoam cup this big a.
straight vodka when we were in the mock. helicopter with our helmets on acting. and then I got fired from that that's. crazy people would do that thing because. they don't do that now I know it was so. obvious because he got out of the. chopper his dealer was over there. and then I thought I'll just take a sip. of water I was so young and naive he. would take he was like Scarface he'd. take the script out and he just pounded. on the instrument panel and the Frank. helicopter we're like 10 feet in the air. and they're blowing steam at us you know. okay and we're pretending like there we.
are I love this guy had a great haircut. dude you do I could definitely see if a. gay dude rolled up bro. you are toast oh yeah yeah I was jaffo. just another frust look at that I'll. throw a punch look like the same guy. well that was a while back but yeah no. that's me being the macho guy but I just. had lines in the back of the chapter. he'd say jaffo incoming Jam him and I. would say I am jamming I am jamming sir. you know I wanted to be I wanted to be.
Richard Pryor or something or Steve. Martin I'm in this one I bet they play. that at so many bath houses on Loop dude. I am jamming I am jamming I am. I bet you were on so many you were not. getting paid I'm not jamming but someone. else is I think you need to sell us but. if you stole tickets in specific areas. man you would really really but he would. call me at night what are they saying. about me well then you're doing drugs. and you're out of your mind okay just. checking see you later but I got fired.
they put me in the helicopter with that. suit on and then they uh they fired me. they said come on down the whole crew. was there and I had to come down to. ladder wearing that and I didn't think. oh you're fired I am now they could have. told me before I got in the monkey suit. so I gotta do it's like an old show. called Brandon I'm walking across. everybody you know kind of waving. humiliated I go to the Wardrobe guy who. I kind of befriended I'm kind of shook. up and I go man I'm funny I can do stuff. and he put his hand on my shoulder like. sure kid it's okay kid you know and then.
I ran into him after SNL he goes God you. just get more right I didn't [ __ ] you. know so I got revenge but that was. another crazy I had some crazy people. you know experiences but did you ever. trial from MacGyver that makes me think. about that looking at that show and then. seeing you it seemed like they almost. would have put you on there I don't know. at some point I stopped because what. they did was they were. giving me 7 500 a week and I'm from. middle class family that's a lot of. money yeah so I was like doing all this. stuff was a waste of time but in the. meantime I was doing stand up so finally.
I got they offered me funster Hall it. was like a Punky Brewster spin-off so. the pilot was going to be 30. 000 in 1984. that's a lot of money so I. just thought nah can't do this anymore. so then all I did was clubs oh because. you were making too much money touring. well I was just in comedy clubs I was. mostly Seattle Bay Area had like five. full-time clubs so I started going you. know I started headlining I was. headlining but even bigger rooms and I. was I was making plenty of money yeah.
you know 2 000 a week and so I just did. that for two years and then I did one. final thing that was different was uh a. movie called tough guys with Bert. Lancaster and Kirk Douglas so they. became my buddies that was weird I was. the third wheel in that movie Kirk. Douglas is uh you just passed he passed. made to 102. he was the Dad huh oh yeah. yeah and Kirk Douglas like he talked. like this and it's a ton of great movies. uh and Bert Lancaster these were like.
this is like working with Tom Cruise and. Brad Pitt or something you know and so. Michael Landon did you ever work with no. I would love there we go again yeah look. look I was the pro I was the straight. man again what are you guys doing I'm. telling we're gonna rob a bank yeah they. were uh I'm Kirk Douglas when he saw me. I go I play him Richie Kirk Douglas said. well you're perfect you look exactly. like Richie and then Bert Lancaster said.
how many movies have you done I go well. this is my first you've done one I've. done 72. so that's the way they talk you can look. it up. so look at all this [ __ ] I did it's a. different time but I'm on SNL as the. church lady eight months later I mean I. just came out of nowhere what yeah but. they were it was a thrill being around. them and listening and tell the stories. Jack Nicklaus had won the Masters golf. at age 46 and people thought and they're. like I had pimples at 46. 46. he's an.
old it's not even not even Middle East. and they talk like that and eventually I. started doing this thing which I was. Politically Incorrect you can cut it out. but just for my own amusement. late night writer's room stuff I did. them as lovers you know Kirk and Bert. and I don't really like blue humor but I. thought their voices would blend so. funny yeah that the comedy was about the. Rhythm and the vernacular.
I want you and I want you now I need to. have you okay don't rush me two men. having fun doesn't mean we're gay come. on do what you gotta do don't keep. [ __ ] around like that son I only got. so much play down there you keep [ __ ]. around like that I gotta pull out and. splooge all over your backside so that. was the poem that made Lovitz throw up. in a parking garage so I would do 20. minute versions of this for the writer. Zone could do Burton Kirk and I did it.
on an HBO special but I do it with. lovetts and love it because I would just. go so far with it you know. I don't know why I need you but I want. all of it tonight you won't so what I. did was then I made it into they're just. gonna wrestle and I made some tapes from. friends and sent it to Bill Hader I'd. like you to come over to my house three. five nine Cannon Drive this is 1952. I'll be there with bell song There's a. gate off the side the code is seven five. four pound we're gonna wrestle we're.
gonna wrestle naked style I'm looking. forward to it would you like me to bring. anything lemonade bring me some lemonade. we'll lather up and then we'll wrestle. first man out of the ring I look forward. to it just naked I might be wearing. diaper 455 Cannon Drive I'll be there at. 4 P.M make it 4 15. I gotta get ready. for the real so it's just me having a. party with those rhythms because when I. do this stuff I'm the audience in my.
head two I'm trying to make myself so. that's uh I've been canceled three times. that's great for to be the audience in. your own head aren't you a little bit. sometimes if you're on a roll like if. you're doing bits and it's packed and. you're rolling and you're doing it a. little bit better or a little bit. different than you ever have so you're. turning yourself on going back to yeah. at the beginning of the podcast and what. did that do turns on the audience you. know if you get to turn yourself on but. um that's all I'm trying to do all the.
time I did Biden last night on come on I. was just trying to get get that that. feeling of a rhythm that makes it makes. makes me laugh you know yeah and he. going come on let's get real. okay I'm not kidding around here you. know it was like the you know we're all. well endowed by our creator and all men. to believe that all men are secreted. equally with liberty and John John suits. for all man-made kind and ridiculous no. joke of race.
Clear Water her color balloons I walked. on the moon you know he yells walked on. the moon Lance Armstrong he says Buzz. Buzz Buzz Lightyear it was cold and dark. we got home the grace of God president. Harris was there I'm Joe Biden so I was. just kind of trying to find a character. and a rhythm because Trump is so easy. I'm gonna make an announcement soon. you're gonna love it I'm gonna say. things like you wouldn't believe and I. know how to say things people don't want. me to say what I'm going to say it. pretty soon and we're gonna do and.
you're gonna be happy like you wouldn't. believe so they're just fun fun rhythms. you know I did one as Obama as a. preschool teacher Jack and Jill went up. the hill. Jill decided she wanted to become a jack. and jack decided he wanted to become a. Jill it's a teachable moment so anyway. that's all these are just rhythms I'm. still working on I did them on Campbell. but I like to do them on theophone is it. thank you it's a nice game yeah you have. a good sense of humor so sometimes man I. want to learn how to do one with you. real quick what is like one that you.
think I could do. um summer just sounds well I would say. the quickest one and these are just. these are ad hoc they're just. traditional is walking you can just. start with that voice the one I. distilled was Christopher Walken sees an. amazing magic trick so it's really quick. Christopher Walken sees an amazing magic. trick. wow. whoa whoa whoa you're making three. syllables out of one word instead of wow.
wow whoa and then down now down now. there you go oh no why whoa don't know. why well it's a great character you. should play a hit man that talks like. that Gotta Kill Ya don't know why plug. you full of holes. no but he's like everyone does him. trying to think like a oh dude you. should do Morgan Freeman oh yeah they. said it would take a man 600 years. hold on let me try it again.
they said it would take a man 600 years. to get out of this here prison. but Andy Dufresne did it in less than. 20. that is good that is very good. pretty good yeah. yeah it's interesting too. um there is fun to throw your voice is. it weird because some of you your. friends have died and you still do their. voice well I have Dino stepanopoulos is. a great writer. uh he every time one of my Impressions. dies he texts me so when George Bush.
died he texted me or Regis filming you. know but there's a passage of time you. don't do it the day of but David and I. do Norm because we miss norm and we want. to do norm and we know that Norm would. have a twinkle in his eye and would be. smiling if he heard us trying to do them. you know hey they they say uh Penny. saved is like what do you call Penny. earned right yeah that's like a thousand. that's 100 return that's like now you. can't get that right you know Jack me. Nimble jabby quick you know Gemini candy.
said okay what is he bipolar what are. you doing over there you know he was. just that brilliant mind yeah David. he'll do that when we're like David. where Norm just describes like he's like. yeah I'm trying to like uh hold on I'm. more about this. so I'm trying to like uh I don't know. what are you talking about it's like a. it's like I walk through this thing it's. like a what it's like a tall rectangle. like a what is this like it's a doorway.
but like he would just talk about like. I'm in this room and it's just men and. there's men peeing in there I don't even. I know I've seen this have you guys seen. this thing he did a thing and I don't. know if John has talked about this John. Lovitz but so it's like yeah he had a. gambling issue right hey John give me. give me give me come on you did his act. John's going on give me eight hundred. dollars I got a camel come on you know. so John's like okay so the next day John. goes you know can I have my 800 he goes.
no I don't have 800 he goes what you owe. it to me why are you so mad I lost eight. thousand dollars you only I lost 800 why. are you so angry he just turned it on. him and John was like John Norm would. always [ __ ] with him and say I'm a. better Stan no he goes I'm a better. standing than you you know I'm like a. better stand-up than you are because I. haven't done it longer and love it so. get so mad excuse me yeah well you owe. it to me that's the best that he does.
that John has his own character he. doesn't even know where it came from. hello. um but yeah as far as the 90s thing. which you asked is so I did two shitty. movies for three million dollars each. they were terrible I shouldn't have done. them I just didn't know what I was doing. I came off with too much heat I had. Wayne's World. Pro Bush uh Carson I was doing all this. stuff came together so too much heat and. I didn't really know what to do as a. middle class kid Canal wasn't 30 times. three million and I hated it so much I.
said then I had two other offers pay or. play. Hans and Franza girlyman dilemma but we. wrote it with Arnold he dropped out so I. didn't want to do that Bob odikirk and I. wrote a western called Tucson for me and. John Lovitz that John with that fell out. and so I and that was three million pair. of play but I was okay to get rid of. that they've tried to put us together in. Bad Boys another three million Pair play. but then the script just wasn't right. and I it was a hot oven at that point. for me so I I got out of that so then I.
just sort of stopped and then I had two. kids but it wasn't it then they went. along and then I did the variety show I. did a special and then I did the variety. show uh with you know with Louis CK and. you know you guys had great writers on. that great show. well Smigel was it was he you know I I. interviewed Louis C.K you know he was. brilliant then and uh we had we had an a. team for sure when you decided to like. take out so was it a decision to take a.
break or was just like this kind of. feels what I should do was it like. specifically to kind of be a parent was. it to make sure that like there was. there was some of that we moved up to. Northern California I was also sort of. disillusioned you know because the movie. thing once you make those two things and. they stick to you then you're just in a. hole to dig out of in a way if I'd done. I had Hans and Franz the girlyman. dilemma and others that I was working on. I just made it's just a misstep I always. think of big life big mistakes it's okay. to have regrets but then at that point I.
could make a fortune in stand-up right. so I could work I would take two months. off at Christmas I would take the. Summers off so I could be a present dad. and make a [ __ ] ton of money and. especially corporate dates I didn't want. to do them so they'd say this much I'd. say no I don't want to do it and they go. how about this much I don't want to do. it then they'd say this much I go and a. private jet I actually don't want to do. it okay what kind of private jet uh Gulf. Stream okay so then I started doing. those interstitially yeah so I was able.
to take care of everybody financially. but uh I was in no man's land I was. untethered but you know Fame was not. something that I was I'm kind of like. other there's a there's some of us where. Fame didn't quite settle with this like. it's scary some people embrace it and. love it and I don't judge that at all. are very easy with it for me I'm kind of. an introverted extrovert so being famous. was not it was a very odd thing the. money was fun and the creativity is fun.
but the fame part you know I don't know. so it's kind of scary but that's how I. navigated that I just throw those. numbers out so people know because my. wife so I was doing stand-up while back. and I would just tease the crowd and go. I know you're thinking like why am I. here it's like 20 seats in in the valley. and I I know me too but I'm a. millionaire and stuff like that so. because you don't want people go oh he. was so big and now he's poor so yeah it. was never a problem and. um now it's just full circle. everything's real in in real time for me. and so this this weird place thing is.
just super fun flying the wall with. David it's super fun I mean so I'm just. having complete creative fun with both. those things I'm not frustrated I'm not. in a shitty movie or stupid TV show yeah. you know I'm doing my own thing now. you know what was it like watching your. kids be funny what did you like was it. what was it like watching your son like. was that kind of interesting having had. your own relationship with your own dad. and your brothers and stuff what was it. like when you were a dad and then you. had a couple of boys like what was some.
of that kind of like. um well we just had we just had a lot of. fun we had a lot of games you know they. were just game for anything we do things. like um on a rainy day set up an. obstacle course around the house and. time them yeah and they'd run they did. the classic like massive pillow uh. massive well we did the pillow throw it. was called and so they would I get all. the pills from the couch and they would. run across on the carpet and I would try. to get them under their feet and fall. and they love they loved all the games.
you know uh Hide and Go Daddy which they. would go in the room and they would hide. I knew where they were but I would creep. around and go I don't really know where. they are this time you hear the closet. door shaking you know so they and they. have their own friends in their own. humor even as little kids they were you. know but we um we just had a lot a lot. of fun a lot they had a child of Freedom. up there and Northern California suburbs. kids could just go out a lot more and.
you know sort of so I don't know if Dex. can jump on the mic on this one but yeah. I'm just kind of I guess I'm just kind. of curious you know I guess we just had. a lot of fun we I watched a lot of. movies had a lot of rituals and you know. we went to a vacation a lot to Montana. a lot. and we just were in Montana and a very. nostalgic you know for Dex and Tom to be. up there in Montana right Dex oh it's. the best state unbelievable was Fred. Wolfe up there or not. at that time because he's up there all.
the time too yeah if you go to Flathead. Lake in August and you catch a nice day. it's like Tahoe no one's on the lake and. the water is just temperate the. mountains I mean it's a magic Place. Northwestern Montana Missoula where I. was born and where we were this summer I. mean tubing and stuff on just on an. incredible motorboat right Dex it was. the best two and behind a Bose is my is. this one of the best things on the. planet that's whenever you was was it. like whenever was there ever competition. with you and your brother like make your. dad laugh were you guys like kind of.
funny was it I'm just trying to think of. like what it's like to have humor like. with your father I never had like. moments with my dad where we made each. other laugh that I can remember anything. I think I was just too young so I guess. I'm just maybe there's no question I. didn't have it with my dad either. um most of the time I think I was a. regular dad you know I wasn't always. doing voices and characters right text. but well when we were doing when you're. working up for your special and we were. you let Tom and I go on the road with. you that that would get a little. competitive you know because uh Tom and.
I would be opening for yourself you know. Tom like just crushed yeah like oh man I. got the oh you know the brothers are. doing stand up and uh you know it's yeah. we but I would just say we just had a. lot of fun my wife who likes a very tidy. home just gave them full run of it most. the time you know the airsoft battles. where there's a million pellets and. their cousins would come over and. couches and they'd be in there fighting. for hours. loading up and you know I couldn't watch.
them they'd be on skateboards going down. a steep hill so my mind was too active. on that thing but my my wife could watch. them go down the hill and you know they. had a they had a very free childhood in. a lot of ways don't you think that's X. great get you know bike riding I. couldn't ask for more fun they did a lot. of Independence yeah Norton yeah uh. North Bay Mill Valley. yeah little Steven Spielberg Town wow. and Julian Julian mattelich was there. too and now with full circle here they.
are working on this thing years later. isn't that funny the weird place which. what we're always in we're all always in. the weird place man. it's such a Twilight Zone life is yeah. it really is it's it's a touch reality. is sort of because I feel like your. dreams. are and your memories are very similar. you know you dream something but if like. you try to like hold it in your brain. you in fourth grade or something it's. it's kind of in that place where you. would hold a dream you know so it's sort.
of elusive isn't it did that really. happen. you know in fourth grade when we would. because you're you're remembering just. an images in your head and we skipped. the rocks and I beat my brother that. time you know I hit six six skips you. know skipping rocks was a pretty cool. thing escaping rocks is a it's still a. conquistadorian event if you can get if. you can get into it and do it well yeah. I missed the days when things were a lot. more simpler and things would be like I. remember walking down the street. somebody invited somebody their family. is somebody had died over there and they. buried them in their yard right to do.
insurance money because they weren't. going to tell anybody and get that check. wow me and my buddy Summerall are. walking down the street and next thing. you know we get invited to a damn. funeral so we're in the backyard at the. oh wow at these folks house and they're. burying the damn grandfather in there in. the ground and then we'd go back there. and play kickball and [ __ ] back there. and he was in the ground for like. probably 11 months for the cop they. figured it out you know some. you know that's that's extraordinary a. cadaver buried in the yard and we had to.
do a I remember what they said does. anybody want to say a great uh say. anything right and my buddy he said. Grace like you say at dinner or. something he didn't know what to do I. guess we were just children wow he said. God is great God is good God we thank. you for this food and I'm like this is a. [ __ ] that was we're standing there by. the end yeah we were Scott and I were in. the good time though pet cemetery team. Under The Willow Tree so the animal. y'all were burying him out there huh she. almost had a little bit of land huh well.
no a quarter acre there was a willow. tree whoa and that's a little close to. me burying a dead animal bro well we uh. well where else we gonna do with them. take them to the dump I don't give a. damn if you don't have a half acre bro. no we we it was a short you know boots. got Rigamortis in the in the laundry. room out in the garage so we cannot go. we're touching boots and boots like so. boots has ants ants ants coming in his. mouth and he's he's kind of stiff or not. yeah I'm not sure he's dead so we get. the shovel and we're bringing boots down.
to the pet cemetery the willow tree and. we dig the hole and drive we put boots. in we both heard we thought we heard. and we go I go what should we do he goes. he's gone or anyway. so we buried and tiger and then Pepe. Pepe got run over my brother Mark was. sort of not a good driver so he backed. up overhead she took a nap under the. tire we came out before it was a little. cute little poodle the head was all. flattened out but he said he never felt.
a bump Scott and I got to shovel this. time it was a not it wasn't a question. mark down there right next to the boot. foreign. you know so we buried a lot of stuff. anyway no but yeah we had a kind of a. Suburban but it was low population a lot. of open land yeah and so a lot of. getting in hollowed out trees and. smoking cigarettes oh yeah Boo Radley. and out there yeah getting in the hollow. tree and getting sometimes getting stuck. in it you know and uh and fights fist.
fights and headlocks you know cut it out. cut it out you know a lot of just like. my brother got through a dart and like. stuck it stuck in my leg I had to pull. it out you know but anyway it's real. [ __ ] yeah yeah I know it's just there's. a there's uh we have a symbiotic yeah. borrowed some money off me one time to. buy drugs right and I didn't know he's. buying it for him and his mother or. whatever but I went down there a couple. weeks later to get my money back you. know I'd loaned it to him like two.
dollars and fifty cents and I needed it. you know holidays were coming up and. all of that and so I went under their. property and they had like 11 people. lived in like a house this big as this. room and there was people sleeping in. the sink and I was so scared to ask for. the money and then him and his mom. started fighting about drugs the next. you know their fists fighting in the. yard. you know and I was like oh y'all can. just keep the money when they're just. beating each other's teeth in Jesus we. had the Cason brothers and their mom was. like 28 or something you know and she.
was divorced she was a tough chick but. she was never around and Johnny Cash and. Jimmy Castle was bigger I had fist. fights with both of them you know and I. would take five to get in one round. houses I was 90 pounds and and then. Jimmy beat up Johnny was over there and. Joint came out of the kitchen he got. every every sharp knife in the kitchen. he was holding him like this he couldn't. even throw him he goes. and he had like 10 knives. the cast and brothers those are the.
other side of the tracks even though we. didn't have a train tracks there you. know mom mama was hornier their mother. was just horrible she was horny oh dude. we had that lady I think I told you the. other night my mom got a dang Dodge Neon. right and it was so nice and my brother. would go my brother and I was my brother. zeph and I would go sleep in it at night. just because it was cool oh it was just. that it had plush interior yeah it had. uh it just smelled like something new. yeah you know we'd be in there God is. smelling just.
just smelling as much news oh God and we. just fall asleep in there and then this. lady we had this lady that live a couple. apartments down and she'd always play. she'd be out there one time and she was. getting railed by some guy on the on the. [ __ ] new car on the against the side. of it dude my brother now my brother and. I woke up and this lady was always out. there kind of touching herself and. [ __ ] huffing you know not paint but. something. um and then we just felt the car shaking. dude it's funny to go by people having.
sex we run cross country in high school. and this couple's on the trail yeah let. me buy as far as the car my dad had a. British we always had used cars but it. was a Hillman it was a nice British. sedan and my brother Scott the guy who. ran over Pepe. he was like 18. so he went to some. baseball thing hot dog Jamboree and. later on we found out he had 10. Heinekens so he drove the car home he. had had 10 high against and then he got. hungry so he had pink popcorn he had two.
big things and I don't know how he made. it home but he came in and he was so. [ __ ] drunk my dad was you drunk so. he's sitting on the bed I was like so my. dad's doing round half lesson right well. he broke his wrist on his skull probably. the first two punches he wore a cast and. we had to say we couldn't say why my. mom's saying you're killing him you're. killing him but he didn't feel anything. so Scott and I were the team we had to. clean up the pink popcorn covered all. over the front of the Hillman the only. thing worse than that is when the whole. neighborhood's toilets backed up in our.
downstairs toilet it just started. flowing out because the downstairs. Brothers had just a toilet down there no. sink and started flowing out so we were. in charge so Scott and I were the Bucket. Brigade so it was poo and [ __ ] and water. going out not just y'all's everybody's. all just not ours just the whole. neighborhood it was just not all ours. they just came and it was flowing up and. we're bailing there's Powerball Brad had. a a drill because it was it was starting. to rise up so he was could have. electrocuted himself but he he was. Drilling and then he went under the.
house and was drilling holes for the. water to drain and my mom was screaming. too he was under the house drilling. holes for the water drain yeah the. plumbing was blown up well because it. was filling up the room and we were. bailing as fast we can just just like we. were really good athletes at the time we. were fit but just like for hours and my. mom was screaming I'm throwing it out. the window we were throwing it out the. window and we'd even grab [ __ ] and throw. it out the window and we were just just. well buckets are grabbing we got just in. a frenzy because we just we're trying to.
stop it if you got a loose-handed dookie. of a stranger I don't know if there's. any other I mean you should have it well. we had every texture that day we had. kind of Milky we had really solids we. had two double solids we had we had. every kind of feces going out that thing. we learned a lot about the human anatomy. and gastrointestinal stuff yeah but. these are all true stories I couldn't. even tell you I mean there's a lot it's. good it's fun these we had some rough. and tumbles you know what I remember. about a lot of people don't remember. like I'll hang out with my best friends. from growing up and they don't remember. a lot of the stuff that happened that's.
the interesting thing I'm like well. you're kind of jogging my memory Because. Of You the car and all these things a. lot of people just don't remember it I. don't know if they didn't weren't paying. us enough attention or I think I was. hyper aware as a kid too I think as. comedians you get hyper aware because. you're really alert and sensitive to. what's going on that's good for a. comedian is to be observant and really. be a sensitive instrument I call it yeah. and so it's almost a form of like form. of Asperger's you don't want to look at. the light too much because everything's. so intense you know and uh I just.
remembered all of it you know I just. said because it was and there were some. just lazy moments too but there was one. time where I just got incredibly lucky. and it was almost a spooky day at this. cab weird cabin in Montana well they had. a slot machine in there you know it had. all dimes in it and so I started getting. you were a child I was a child I was. like eight Scott was ten I started. hitting jackpots no it's like and then. he'd do it then I kept hitting jackpots. then we were playing poker we had these. chips and I kept getting perfect hands. it was this day. where I was just incredibly lucky for.
this day like I couldn't lose couldn't. lose I went back to the little there was. dimes coming out he gets like you know. one Cherry gets a dime like three. cherries so that was kind of a mystical. day you know yeah things when you're. young they have so much like even if you. win you win seven dimes it's like. remember when this happened or oh yeah I. remember we were going to the movies and. we found a busted open Coke machine and. somebody had been trying to rob it and. like Jimmy dope them and they'd ran off. obviously right if money was falling out. and I walked up and there was all this.
money and a watch you could see the. robber that had reached in they would. did his watch had come off so suddenly. it had me a nice watch and as much money. as you could think of I loved it that. was my addiction this shoplifting you. know I would go in when I finally got. caught like I had a special billowy coat. and a special secret pocket in the back. and so I I was like in this drugstore. and I've been shoplifting like crazy you. know shopping candy everything I got. this top that you would Spin and I put. it in there I'm on my bike and right as.
I was getting away the guy grabbed the. back of it so that my brothers you know. they are the ones who got me into. shoplifting they would stick stuff down. my deviance they would stick stuff down. my pants but then I you know that I was. shamed by that I took the fall they. didn't say we were shoplifting too and. we used to stick stuff down his pants we. taught him how to do it they didn't say. anything they stayed quiet so my dad. came in. and I thought okay here it comes you. know snapped the belt but then he goes. oh Jesus Christ you brought shame to the. family oh but I didn't really feel that.
I stopped [ __ ]. I thought come on they were all. shoplifting. well anyway we're halfway through the. podcast yeah we're gonna take a break. and no I'm sorry we've probably done. pretty good how long have we been two. hours oh Jesus for Jesus Christmas man. seriously really yeah I didn't realize. we kept you in here though you put it in. two partners or no we'll do a one-parter. man. um and yeah I wanna I wonder if they'll. let us play a clip from your show do you. think they will. which I mean we're from the weird place. you can play anything we want they. brought a couple Clips yeah I got a clip. you want to play it yeah which one is it.
I'll set it up uh you guys were saying. these submarine crew goes back in time. to the pirate ship okay and then they. interact with them and they figure out. they've gone back in time and they go on. a tour of the pirate ship to show them. everything and they go to the brig and. they meet this especially potent. prisoner and the captain McKinley from. 1966 is a little thrown by it and this. is their conversation he's behind the. bars okay.
are you sure that cell will hold it. I could never break out not with these. balls manifest. now who is this hardly a Thai gentleman. I'm captain McKinley of the United. States Navy. man something. some Stray by you. Lord is that sweet fragrance ass man. it's a deodorant do dog ran.
never heard of it huh this guy's. starting to give me the creeps so. there's a little it's you know the. filmic music the sound effects like he's. slapping the bar and the effect on my. voice we played around with that forever. I was doing Hannibal Lecter I was doing. all and then these guys pitched it down. and I said oh God that's the guy that's. our that's our bad guy that's psycho. Bill who is this right here yeah what's.
that sweet fragrance I smell uh. deodorant never heard of it you're a. Navy man something strange about you oh. yeah you know it's almost like. somebody's uh just bought a new cat do. we have another one do we have the ant. one or no. yeah I got it okay here is like the guy. who gets the magic power with the globe. these bullish [ __ ] on him he says he. says I'll fight you and I'm an abandoned. lot outside of town then he goes to the. globe and he sees an ant and he puts an.
ant on the globe and it's magic Globe so. he drops it on the lot there at and. they're just waiting to fight him and. this giant ant comes out of the sky and. these bullies have to fight the ant oh. there's what there's a piece of it. there's a lot longer but yeah look at. those legs coming out of the sky. [Music]. oh no we gotta find this thing keep your. feet moving boys. ass get the shotgun out of the truck.
yes. so they're fighting for their life just. to give you a sound collage that who. made the ant noise they uh they did it.
they did effects I did some practical. effects where we we layer so much fun. layered in a ton of effects. we kind of lay down some initial effects. with our just voices and whatnot or find. some stuff on you and then we would send. it out to our to our mixer guy we were. kind of collaborating with and he'd help. us sort of how exciting are the moments. whenever you kind of like okay let's.
redo it again but then you realize how. much you raised the bar on it you're. like oh my God that's it yeah that's it. look how much more we can do that's why. you kept doing it and those guys went. downtown with that ant thing. or do you feel like you had were you. afraid to be the you're obviously the. odd person out and there's nothing you. can do about that that's you know but no. you know we all grew up together we had. a whole cut cutting our back fence and. we had a tin can phone and whatnot so.
yeah dude we were they were they know. each other he's like a brother from. another mother I mean they're like thick. as thieves and they have so much shared. experience I met Julian when he was. three God what was he like then. he was he was about uh he was pretty. pretty cocky really he had diapers on. but he hadn't no he was just a cute. little kid shirtless probably huh. probably just strolling around the. neighborhood yeah drinking out of a tit. that's [ __ ] as you can get dude and his. dad's from Mississippi so really that.
was you know I was I was baptized in. Mississippi oh damn baby that's what's. up yeah. dude I saw uh I used to work over there. and uh I had to paint a fence one time. right with this fellow Big Johnny and he. was a homo erotic guy right and they. didn't you know and he would wear uh big. chains and stuff and he had a big afro. and he would drive on a riding lawnmower. all the time and. he and I had to paint this white fence. and the birds all these uh I think they. were Nightingales maybe we'd come and.
try to get into his hair and so my job. while we were painting I had a badminton. racket and just to whack them all day. bro so that was your job yeah we were. out I started painting but by the maybe. about an hour in he couldn't handle the. pressure of the nature so what 60 cents. an hour and you're just whacking birds. with attention oh I was doing pretty I. was getting paid five bucks an hour but. I was out there I probably dude I bet I. took 30 sparrows off that dude's brim. that day man I mean because they his. hair was just wow they wanted a nest in. it but did you wound them and then.
they'd fly away or does it really whack. them dead I'd say probably 40 40 50 or. 40. not 40 50. 50 50. wow. birds are intense yeah it depends well. the problem with birds is they're coming. out of the sky and you don't know what's. going on up there that's what I find. right we have animals you get a little. bit more you get to they run up you get. the Ambiance about a bird you're like. [ __ ] you know we have some koi fish on. our farm slash Ranch and they're inside. this cement it came with the house but. they built it so like the Bald Eagles or.
whatever's up there because most of the. people come over go I can't believe. they're still alive and they're big. they're like 40 pounds and they'll live. to like 100 they will yeah they'll live. way past us they're like vegetables that. float around I mean they go around in. circle on a five foot thing and they're. fascinated for a hundred years but. anyway it said that the the birds. intuitively know they could get them. with their talons is that it but they. wouldn't they don't have enough Runway. to get out because they'd hit the Buddha. statue damn so they're safe for now. they're safe for now yeah be safe for.
now I think we all we're all that's all. we all we're all safe uh how do we close. this deal I I this has been so much fun. I really told you a lot of. stuff no look I'm just I think it's. interesting I've heard some about your. life I think it's nice that you're. getting to work on a project that you. know with family obviously family is. something that's been very important to. you and so I think that's super to me. that's really cool man like you know I. talk about doing stuff with my brother. there's a lot of people who'd give. anything to be able to do a job with. their dad no matter what it is you know.
and like. um especially to make something like. this that almost anybody could really. make like of course people aren't going. to have no people people make them but. we know that you got it there's a whole. new level you need to go to you can't. just write a script get some voice. actors and add a couple effects right. you need to win the war every moment for. the attention span you need every single. moment that's why we made it kind of. like an album yeah you know rather than. just something to get something else hey. maybe someone will buy it will make a. lot of money yeah you know we actually.
said no we want to conquer this space. and those guys who they were riding with. me at the table they were directing me. um they were doing rewrites and they. were doing the editing and they were. stacking the effects and working with. Ben and you know it's just and choosing. music bringing in the music and the. music inspired me yeah you know and the. right scary music for psycho Bill what's. the music and we had that Library so we. we were able to make it filmic as you. can see by these samples oh yeah well it. also does that thing for me it brings.
back your imagination that's it suddenly. my imagination has to work and it's. almost excited and I don't mean that any. dad and son could do this or any dad and. family and friends can do this or any. group anybody could you could make. something fun with your family you could. do something with the tools available. you can make cool you can make really. cool stuff yeah but also obviously you. guys are trying to get it at a level out. there where it's like you know you want. to put a piece of art out into the world. and I think it's interesting that you. didn't burn yourself out over the years. so you still have the ver a little bit.
of the veracity or concern or whatever. to want to do something like this a lot. of people get burnt I mean there are. people that you know do 20 things that. they don't want to do for years and they. get burnt out you know so by the time. watch The Time Machine with Rod Taylor. obsessed which I showed him as a little. kid and he's possessed by it so art and. music my family with the Beatles and. movies just everything to us making art. uh doing it I like to think that because. of my cross-country and track I've kept. my VO2 max really strong yeah like I.
don't think anyone in Hollywood could. hike up a hill with me I don't really. think so if they could but I'm going. past like they're all in the slow lane. so you could beat Neil and easy on his. little well yeah I don't want to pick on. him I'm thinking of you and me mono. Amano I'm looking at 30 years younger. he's got lungs on him does your dad have. some good lungs on him decks. unbelievable wow well I've just never. stopped I need it for my mental health I. love playing the guitar like I do it for. an hour every night making up [ __ ] and I.
need the the breaking the sweat with the. pulse I love it so but I do think the. core energy and passion for me and I'm. just surprised I'm it sounds so. self-congratulatory but I care just as. much about this as anything I've done. anything doesn't matter to me when. something was kind of shitty you can. tell if something's popular okay I might. like it but well you can tell by hearing. right you just tell because that it the. amount of layering that went into it and. the amount of sound collage and just. finding cycle Bill and writing the part.
and what do they say I want to ask you a. question yeah. blink in your brain when you hear that. voice I could never Escape what do you. picture. um psychobil you mean yeah I picture a. big uh oh you know what he said no well. it kind of wonder if my brain's taking. over I picture uh a little bitty guy. with the biggest wiener you've ever. [ __ ] seen a human tripod I mean he's.
got no he has to wear it over his. shoulder in a bag yeah he uses it or. weapon but he doesn't even talk about it. it's just you don't really know that. okay and he has the biggest thickest. darkest mustache you've ever [ __ ] see. that's the thing that is your psycho. bill that's your cycle bill so that you. and you can get out of the prison easy. he could literally just walk through the. bars if you want oh there's stuff that. happens but he stays in there because. it's just it's well things happen in the. storyline there's stuff that happens.
with the other Sailors and there's some. illicit stuff that's going on yeah good. so you know that that's the great thing. about this if you're driving around as a. mom with your kids and it's nothing I. can listen to it family and let them. Imagine The Story let them decide what. Captain McKinley looks like or Captain. Jack you know who I worked after my. wife's Irish uncle. am I on a talk like that and we just. call him Captain Jack so all the. characters have some. some reason or some way I found my way.
to them there's a character called. smarty Wiggins a pirate and I base it. off this Irish woman Noni who talks sort. of like this but he's the smartest. pirate in the world and he invents the. toilet and he goes I call it a lavatory. because he's a genius pirate but that. was coming from noni's voice God Rest. her soul she went to the Stars God damn. that's what my father used to say all. the time oh really go dude oh damn and. he would like just randomly yeah we'd.
wake him up and be like God damn it. it was like all I remember was saying. most of my life dude and then he would. like have some beers he would oh he. would take me to the bar with him and. he'd tell me to go walk down the bar and. come back you know well my dad used to. literally walk down the bar and I'd walk. down and with all the people's glasses. on and stuff walk down and get a beer. for him or just walk down it and come. back you know when you're little It's a. Long Bar you know.
yeah you know reaching in and getting a. little popcorn or a snack yeah you're. you know jumping over this glass and you. know it's dark and conversate with. people it's almost maybe that's how I. got on stage first I didn't think about. that well sometimes I go walk the bar. for him down there and the lady would be. down there she'd give me a little. Christmas candy even if it was out of. season she'd have a little cup of. Christmas Canon and he just wanted you. to walk down just to see what it was. just get off his nerves for about 30. seconds oh just go walk around for a bit. yeah go walk down the bar each side. because it's hard to get down the bar if. you walk down the floor it's wide open.
but the bar there's deviants you got a. damn [ __ ] pedophile you got a couple. fists fighting there you know you got a. guy picking his nails you know and. giving it to you or whatever. you know you got a lot of them and you. have a great memory you got people to. meet along the way you paid pictures. with your brain because I'm imagining. this bar now oh and imagine 10 year old. Theo Tony padones it was called Tony but. then my dad was like we're gonna ride. we're gonna all right we're gonna head. home and he we'd sit in the car like. we're gonna leave in just a minute and. then he'd [ __ ] fall asleep and I'd.
just be [ __ ] sitting there I'm. waiting for him to wake up oh my dad. would when I was in junior I was the. last kid there he'd give me a enema kit. because he was too embarrassed to go buy. one oh oh Jesus Christ Dane this is this. is my best this is how we talk oh could. you give me one of these and it's. something funny because I was buying the. enema kit for him no embarrassment yeah. even though they might be going what you. you you're that constipated you're 18. you weigh 110 pounds Jesus kid but I. know okay just give me the animal kit.
Jesus Christ but he he did take us to. the KitKat Club in Idaho falls and it. was illicit it was dark and kind of. nasty your father took in there he took. us in there he couldn't wait to get you. a drink no we were just driving up to. Montana my sister went with my mother on. a plane and so we drove up but this the. bar scene as a young the darkness of it. because when I worked at Holiday Inn as. a busboy and I'd go to or a waiter I'd. go into the bar to get drinks in the. afternoon and then there'd be like a.
parent of one of my friends would be in. there just getting blasted he'd see me. and he'd kind of looked down. and then I did room service I waited on. Michael Jackson I waited on Little. Richard he was naked I've waited where. Richard was and did he answered the door. naked it was somewhere around well there. was a man in the bed with sheets over. and he answered the door it seems pretty. gay I think I think it's gay and he goes. have you been to the show because he was. playing the circle Stars you were a. child I was 18 19. you've been to the. show and I I did you know I just I. waited on Richard Pryor waited on.
um you know. Carlin waited on rich little stuff like. that and those are whole other stories. but yeah. but anyway so Theo um I think we're okay. man I think we got enough we spent a lot. of time together man well it just flowed. really nice because I do this now so. yeah. this was really fun and easy I enjoyed. it a lot yeah me too man I really did I. mean I kind of broke a sweat a little. bit it's good I think I'm okay I think. it counts as a workout good well just.
you get a you know you just sort of get. it's exciting just sharing these stories. and The Way We Were bouncing off each. other because your stuff just keep it. was inspiring me oh thank you because. I'm like a new car the brother the thing. the guy with one toe or whatever it's. like oh man okay oh we had something. kind of like that too yeah so we were we. were kind of hillbillies from the middle. class white suburbs basically up there. in the Bay San Francisco Bay Area yeah I. bet I think it's interesting I think. there's just so many commonalities uh. but I love remembering things from the.
past I think it's pretty fascinating I. love imagination and yeah I think stuff. like this is good stuff like um the. weird place is great for people because. yeah it'll help it just to get you to go. especially moms knowing her dads knowing. that they could listen to what their. kids see yeah hey what do your kids. think throw it on you know oh yeah and. then we we have some uh emotionality. like I said in it nothing heavy-handed. but there's some sweetness to it and. earnestness to it and it we were doing. thinking of this before Ted lasso which. I think that struck a nerve too we love.
the dark stuff and you know but there's. something about earnestness and. sincerity and we loved going back into. that 60s Vibe and they're all Evergreen. they could play a thousand years from. now if there'll still be submarines and. um so we just love it and um just feel. very lucky was there ever a chance like. looking back on some of your like Prime. days when you were working on SNL and. you got to work with somebody unique. people yeah and in a time when they let. characters really develop and yeah and. reoccur and you had your catchphrase.
yeah it was so it was so much fun. um was there ever a chance you guys. would try to get back to I've always. wondered why didn't like five or six of. the guy eyes. say hey let's do this again let's just. make our own thing and do it it's you. know it you see that's an outside of. perspective you know no I know and you. always think oh but then you're kind of. like how do you get back to sketch you. know me doing these voices and. improvising these rhythms was exercising. that same idea and there's a freedom.
without an audience you know you don't. want to be indulgent but you can also. step outside yourself but yeah it's a. magic thing that's why spade and I's. podcast is popular it's a reality show. the people will laugh and we'll have a. good time but there's an emotional. underpinning to that shared story of. getting this incredible lucky break. you're with your friends or I call them. your band mates you're all getting a. little money you're getting a little. famous and you're all doing it together. and you're live in Rockefeller Center.
Way up in the sky in the middle of the. night and there's horses and dwarfs on. the show and people are juggling and. you're falling down and all kinds of. [ __ ] it going on and so it's something. that's a it's a fever dream kind of in a. way yeah but getting back to it is is. very tough there's other ways to do it. you know. um I think I had a podcast a while back. where I was doing long form riffs it was. called fantastic it's still out there. where I would just take flight of. fancies and go for 10 minutes because.
that's what I would do backstage Kevin. and I would do Hans and fronds for like. an hour yeah you're a loser we were just. cocking that voice for an hour you found. good moments yeah and then we'd have to. repeat it on but our best moments we. would just fall and giggling and you. know just by you you know the moment you. can't that moment it's so nice when. Kevin said and if you don't think we're. properly pumped up men you know the. defensiveness of Hans and Franz we could. very easily come to your house stretch. the flap of your back into the shape of. a rope ladder so you could crawl down.
into the sewer because that's where. losers live to me it's poetry it may be. my favorite rhythms and the guys who. never lift anything they're terribly. wounded terribly insecure they have this. stupid show and they're just trying to. get back at imaginary enemies they think. the audience doesn't think they're Macho. and I could very easily you're lucky. your buttocks are like marshmallows. you're lucky I don't have a campfire. here don't undo your belt you might. cause a flabber lunch you put tell your.
muscles are so flabby I like to shape. him in a bowl and put them under the put. you on the Christmas tree you know it. just gets into madness so Kevin and I. love that I was sort of would have been. happy if that movie had come to fruition. a very funny movie Conan O'Brien Roberts. Michael me and Neal and wrote together. Hans and Franz the girlie man dilemma so. but anyway Life's good you know Life's. good man you're staying creative you get. into uh. you didn't have a family and be a real. human in a family that's awesome.
um thanks yeah yeah my wife and I are. just incredibly regular people doing. doing regular things there's there's an. enviable thing when I see people who can. really take joy and doing regular things. yeah without being in their head just. going to a matinee watching a movie I'm. having popcorn man this is great I'm. putting I'm putting some raisinets in. the popcorn you are I'd say to Scott. what are you gonna get my brother's got. movies here everything yeah and we were. big into movies we liked a movie we'd. see it five times oh dude I remember.
going to Pink Cadillac it was it was. playing somewhere in my grandmother's. town and I went over there what year was. that I don't know damn I don't know saw. it over and over again yeah oh I just. remember eating so much [ __ ] candy. vomiting in the bathroom and going back. and watching more. we go to matinees but you would go at 12. and come out at five oh yeah any crazy. coming out in the light it was so light. again outside yeah and you're in there. watching Audie Murphy Westerns back to. back you might get a sucker and nurse.
that or if you're a big hunk you just. suck on that you had to last all that. time it was like you could bring a can. of beans or 50 cents because if they. were having a Salvation Army thing there. bring some soup and get in for a five. hour matinee even though we're a. generational part there's so many things. we have in common things it just uh you. know you know maybe we were the original. Hillbillies of of San Carlos parents. from Montana you know gristle and Dale. baked goods and everyone loved to come.
to our house [ __ ] and balls babe oh I'm. caught I'm only caulk he's only boss. when you put us together you got Coke. and battles yeah all right we should. Mike drop it on that yeah we'll do it. there Dana Carvey thanks for your time. thank you loved it enjoyed it peace out. [Music]. oh but when I reach that ground I'll.
share this piece of my life. [Music].
